LAMP EXPLODES In
LEHR RESIDENCE
Mrs. ]. s. Lehr Saves Home
From observation-disclosures
Burning Lamp into Yard

The home of J. S. Lehr on North
Frederick street was saved probably
from destruction last night by the
presence of mind of Mrs. Lehr, when
an oil lamp exploded and set the bed
afire in which she lay. She seized the
blazing lamp and tossed it out the
window, before it could do more dam
age. The rug in front of the bed and
some of the bed clothing were dam
aged by the oil and flames.
Mrs. Lehr had just retired and was
about to extinguish the light when the
first explosion occurred, throwing the
oil over the floor and the table Or
which the lamp stood. She called her
husband who had answered the teie-
phone, but before he reached the beG-
room, Mrs. Lehr threw the lamp out
the window.
The second explosion followed as the
lamp struck the ground, and Mr.. Lehr
hurried outside to extinguish the fire.
Only small damage resulted from the
first explosion.

WEDNESDAY CLUB
TO BUY WAR BONDS
Will Have Special Meeting Web
nesday--May Form Unit to
Red Cross. Chapter

A special meeting of the members
of the Wednesday Club will be held
tomorrow afternoon at the Normal to
arrange for the purchase of a libery
bond by the club and to discuss the
possibility of organizing a unit to do
BED Cross work under the direction
G. the Red Cross Chapter, which was
organized Sunday.
Mrs. John Kochtitzky, president OF
the Wednesday Club, said last night
that there was sufficient sum in the
treasury of the club to buy at leas,
three or four bonds. Although the
money was being kept in the bank, she
believed that the members would will
lingly vote for the purchase of liberty
bonds in order to express their Pc
triotism and to help the Government
in raising the money needed for the
war against Germany.
The Red Cross unit. Mrs. Kochtitzky
said, would be gladly supported by the
members of the Wednesday Club which
has a total membership of more than
seventy. 1t will be decided whether it
is advisable to organize the unit or
urge the members to join the chapter
of the Red Cross.
The Wednesday Club had adjourned
for the summer following the meet
ing last week, but the Importance Of
the matters to be discussed prompted
Mrs. Kochtitzky to call special meet
ing, which will be held in Mrs. Knep-
pcr's room at the Normal.

CAPAHAS MAY PLAY
TWO GAMES SUNDAY
Efforts Made to Keep limo
From Dropping Out OF
Baseball League.

Efforts are being made by the off
GERS of the Southeast Missouri Base
ball League to keep limo from drop
ping out of the league, according to
Dep" Barenkamp, manager of the
Capahas, the Cape Girardeau team. It
has been rumored that the limo team
is ready to quit the circuit, owing to
the fact that the attendance at the
three games played this season was
so small that the existence Of the team
is placed in doubt.
Manager Barenkamp said last night
that he would attempt to bring the Ill
mo team to the Cage next Sunday for
a double header He believed that the
game in the Cape would draw larger
crowd than would be out to witnes,
the contest in limo. The first game
of the season scheduled between the
Capahas and the limo team was pos.-
poned because of the bad weather, anc
for that reason the double header Is
being arranged by Barenkamp.
If the owners of the limo team in-
sist on FORGETTING their membership
in the Southeast Missouri League, the
other managers and owners will trv
to get Dexter to join the league and
finish the schedule in the same fashion
in which it had been arranged during
the earlier part of the spring before
the season opened. Barenkamp stated
last night that although he had heard
that the limo team would drop out of
the league he had no official notice
from either the president of the league
or the owners of the limo team. He
hoped, however, that he could arrange
the twin bill for next Sunday.

SOLDIERS GET PAY
INCREASE june !
Privates to Receive Not Less
Than $50 a Month-Pay Reg
ulated by Length Of Service.

Beginning next Friday the privates
and n-commissioned officers will re-
ceive the increase of salary allowed
them by a recent act of Congress. A
general order was issued by the Wal
Department to the military authorities
giving the wage scale that will be-
come effective June 1.
The lowest salary paid the privates
is $50 per month, an increase of SIS
each month. Privates drawing less
than $21 per month at this time will
also be entitled to the increase of SIS
per month. The salary of the privates

of enlistments they have served in the

dollars goes with each enlistment of
the private soldiers.

given the privates now receiving less
than S24 a month at the present time.
m increase of $S per month for all,
whose salary at this time is less than
$40 and an increase of Sc month for
every private or non-commissioned Off
Ger with salary of less than S45.
The increase of salary for the nom
commissioned officers of the regular
army before the new wage scale be-
came effective was S. a month with
each enlistment. A copy of the new
order regulating the salary of the SOL
diers was received yesterday by Ser
geant O'Rourke, in charge of the Cape
recruiting station.

FRISCO Will TRY
TO DELAY suit
INCOMMONPLEAS
Attorney Motley Informed
City Counselor He Would
Ask for Change of Venue.
SAYS RAILROAD CAN
NOT GET FAIR TRIAL
Frisco Attorney Asserts Inhabit.
ants and Judge are Prejudiced
Against Railroad.

The Frisco will ask for a change of
venue transferring the suit which was
recently filed by the city asking dam
ages from the Frisco for its failure to
comply with the franchise which the
railroad received from the city in 1911.
This announcement was made by n. A.
Motley, the attorney for the Frisco,
when he visited City Counselor Kne-
hans Monday afternoon.
In explaining his action, Mr.. MOI
ley said he did not believe that he
could get fair trial in the Common
Peas Court as he believed the feeling
against the Frisco among the inhabit-
ants of Cape Girardeau to be preju-
diced If the case would be tried be-
fore a jury, he said, he would swear
against the inhabitants, but on the
other hand, if the case were to be
decided by Judge Snider, he would
swear against the Judge on the
grounds that he, too, was prejudiced
against the railroad.
City Counselor Knehans said he
believed, however, that the action
would be taken by the Frisco in or
der to gain more time in making the
arrangements for the trial. He invited
NJ. Motley and the officials of the rail-
road to come to the Cape to confer
with the members of the City Council
and the officials of the city to see
whether a peaceable understanding
could not be brought about between
the railroad and the city.
The City Counselor said yesterday
that he would insist that the city off
cials did not yield an inch to the rail
road. If the controversy is to be set
tied, he said, then the railroad viii
have to yield to the city and everyone
of its demands. "If the railroad" the
City Counselor said, wants to run it:
tracks around the city instead of owe
the streets and live up to the prcvi
sions of the franchise, then there arr
several roads only too anxious to come
into the Cape. The city is not de
pendent upon the service of this one
railroad"
The suit filed against the railroad
several weeks ago asks the court t.
fix the damages the city may be en-
titled to for the breach of CONTRACT
committed by the Frisco, and also fol
damages for the use of the streets il
the city since the expiration of The
time, during which the reorganizeC
road was to either accept or reject the
old franchise the city granted the FRS
co years ago.
The trial is docketed for the MAY
term of the Common Pleas Court which
meets next Monday.

MAN SHOT SELF,
BACK in HOSPITAL

Charles Koeppel, who attempted to
kill himself two weeks ago, is again
at ST. Francis Hospital. in a grave
condition. He was brought 10 the hos
pital yesterday morning for treatment,
and the physician found him in dan
gerous condition. Little hope is now
held out for his recovery.
Koeppel left the hospital week aft
err he had shot himself, against the
wishSS of his physician. He believed
that he had sufficiently recovered and
returned to his home near cambridge.
During the last few days Koeppel
became so weak that he had to con-
suit physician and the latter advised
him to return TO the hospital for treat
ment.
koeppel shot himself two weeks ago
after his failure to effect reconcilia-
ton with his wife from whom he had
been separated for several weeks. He
fired the shot from a rifle which he
placed agairl5t the ground. The bullet
penetrated his chest below the heart,
and emerged below the left shoulder
blade. He was taken to st. Francis

IS DIVORCE TRIALS
SET FOR MAY TERM
Decision in Portland Cement
Co.'S. Case Against Frisco Will
Set Precedent.

Eighteen divorce cases will be tried
during the May term of the Common
Pleas Court which meets next Mon,
day. The docket show that 81 cases
are set for trial during this term
Monday all Probate Court matters will
be passed on and Tuesday morning the
attorneys who have any of the cases
set for this term, will meet with Judge
Snider who will set the different cases
to the convenience of the attorneys, as
far as possible.
One of the most important cases on
the docket is the trial of the suit filed
against the Frisco Railroad by the
Cape Girardeau Portland Cement Co.
asking for $500 damages on the
grounds that the concern had been
overcharged that sum for freight rates
since the rate for coal was increased
from 60 to rs cents per ton.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in recent ruling held that the
Frisco was entitled to increase its
rates. This decision was handed down
in the case of G. l. Moore of limo
who fought the rate, on the grounds
that 80 cents per ton charged by the
railroad for hauling coal to limo was
unreasonably high. At the same time
the Interstate Commerce Commission
acted on the Cape Girardeau case and
sustained the increase of the rate &C
Cape Girardeau despite the fact that
the franchise granted by the city tc
the railroad providing for a so cents
rate. The verdict in the Portland case
is anxiously awaited by all manufac-
turers of the Cape and Cape Girar,
deau County.
The first week of the term will be
devoted to disposing of the cases that
will not be decided by a jury. The
Jurors viii not be summoned before
June 4.
