Alize was arrested at the Cape Coop

few weeks after the robbery in the
Andrews store. The management had
been requested by Mr.. Andrews to no.

COUNCIL REPASSES
STREET ORDINANCES
Special Meeting Held Last Night
To Speed up necessary I'M
prOvements of Main Street.

New ordinances for the paving of
North Main street and Broadway were
passed by the council yesterday even
ing in a special meeting called by
Mayor Hirsch in order to rush through
these improvements which are vitality
necessary. The first ordinances per-
tanning to these improvements were
repealed.
The action by the City Council last
night was taken principally to divide
the paving of North Main street into
two sections. For that purpose two
ordinances were passed.
A new estimate of the costs of the
proposed improvement of North Main
street, was submitted by City Engineer
Silver to the council last night, show
ing that the cost of the Improvement
had increased approximately so per
cent since the first estimate was given
10 the council on the paving of the
street. The second estimate shows
shows that the Improvement will cost
$4,000 for the entire street from
Broadway to Mason street. The first
estimate was little more than $4,000.
F. W. Morrison, president of the
Morrison Ice & Fuel Co., one of the
largest sand firms of Southeast Mis-
souri,, has agreed to furnish all the
sand used in paving of North Main
street at the original price of one dol
lar per square yard. This agreement
applies only to the delivery of sand
for Main street, but not for the paving
of Broadway.
The action of the City Council sub
dividing the paving of North Main
street in two parts, was taken to fore
stall any attempt to demonstrate
against the proposed Improvement.
which has been found to be the most
necessary improvement of its kind.
The width of the street from Broad
way to Mill street will be SO feet, while
the street will be narrowed to "a feet
between Mill and Mason streets.
A number of the property owners
north of Mill street object to being
equally assessed for the paving of the
wider section of the street, because
their section would not cost as much
rs the portion of the street between
Broadway and Mill.

CHANGE OF Venue In
FRISCO suit ASKED

A motion for a change of venue was
filed yesterday afternoon in the Com
mon Pleas Court in the suit of the
city against the Frisco Railroad by
Attorney A. P. Stewart who, with N.
A. Motley, will represent the railroad
in the case. An effort will be made
by the Frisco to have the case trans
ferred to some other county where the
controversy between the city and the
railroad is not known. Mr.. Stewart in
filing the motion for the new trial
swore against both Judge Snider and
Circuit Judge Kelly on the grounds
that they were prejudiced against the
railroad company and would not give
the defendant fair decision.
Judge Snider did not pass on the
motion, but announced that he would
take the matter up at later date.
The petition which was filed by City
Counselor Knehans several weeks ago
AYERS that the city is entitled to dam
ages from the railroad company for
its failure to comply with the fran
chise it received from the city, and
for the use of the streets of the city
since the railroad has operated its
trains without franchise.
City Counselor Knehans said yester-
day that he would make every effort
to oppose the granting of the motion.
He believed that the railroads attor-
neys were merely attempting to delay
the trial of the suit until the differ
ences between the city and the rail-
road could be settled. He said he would
not so much oppose the granting of
the motion asking to refer the suit
to the Circuit Court in Jackson, but
would object to sustaining the motion
that the case be not even tried before
Judge Kelly. 81 am surprised the
railroad attorneys did not swear
against every Judge in the country
and have the case tried in Mexico or
perhaps some other part of the world"
Mr.. Knehans said.
Yesterday was the first session of
the May term of the Common Pleas
Court. A number of probate matters
were heard by Judge Snider. The at
torneys interested in any cases in this
term will meet today with Judge Sni-
der to have the docket arranged, as
far as possible, to their convenience.
All suits that are not jury cases will
be heard first, and the jurors for this
term will not be summoned before
next Monday.

SIX STRAWBERRIES
FILL QUART PITCHER
Prof. Johnson Breaks Seasons
Record with Eight Jumbo
Berries.

Prof. l.. r. Johnson, the welI-knOwn
horticulturist, yesterday gathered
eight Strawberries from his patch that
filled quart pitcher. They were of
the Chesapeake and Joe variety, which
are favorite Strawberries.
One of the largest berries was
shaped like heart, another like a
ROSTERS comb and the third resei4.-
bled a pressed fig. The remaining
five were Of the usual strawberry
shape, but were abnormally large.
The largest berry in his patch is
still green, and Prof. Johnson expects
it to set the record for this year.
Prof. Johnson, who is close student
Of all kinds of fruit, reported yester-
day that the prospects for a large yield
are excellent. The apple orchards in
the county are laden with young fruit,
and unless something unforeseen arises,
there will be an abundance of this
fruit for the summer and autumn.
Prof. Johnson is known as the owner
of the most aristocratic fruit farm in
this part of the State. While the acre
age is limited, it is not surpassed for
quality. He grows almost every variety
of fruit, and while he sells large
quantity to local consumers, his prime
object is to experiments. Prof. John
ION is nationally known as a horticul-
turist as welkas for his writings con-
corning fruit culture.

WOMAN FIRES AT
BURGLAR CAUGHT
FORCING WINDOW
Mrs. Maude Trosper Awak-
ened by Noise of Thief,
Shoots at PrOWler.
THIRD BURGLARY in
LESS THAN ONE WEEK
Escapes Without Getting Into
House, Running Through
Court House Yard.

Mrs. Maude J. Trosper fired upon a
burglar she caught breaking into her
home on North Spanish street Sunday
night about II o'clock before he had
gained an entrance to the house. He
fled and escaped in the darkness of
the Courthouse yard, which adjoins the
Trosper home.
Mrs. Trosper's attention was at
tracted by a noise in the kitchen, and
as she entered she saw a man trying
to force the window. She hurried into
her bedroom and procured revolver.
Upon returning to the kitchen, she
saw the man fleeing through the
Courthouse yard and opening the win
dow, which the thief had attempted to
force, she fired one shot at the flee
ing figure.
Nearly everybody in the house was
awakened by the shot, and imme-
diately the house was searched to see
whether the burglar had found any
loot. Nothing was missing, however.
An investigation showed that the
burglar had showed a box containing
some cans against the wall of the
house in order to reach the window.
While trying to force the window. he
evidently threw the box on which he
was standing over. The noise awaken
ed Mrs. Trosper, who had retired just
a few minutes before. She began to
search the house to ascertain the cause
of the noise and when entering the
kitchen saw the man at the window.
This is the third burglary in less
than week in the city. The police
are of the opinion that the same man
has been working in the city for sew
eral days, and are making every effort

NEGRO ARRESTED ON
BURGLARY CHARGE
Accused of Stealing Ham and
Clothing From Andrews Store
Last March-Trial Today.

The odor of fried ham and bacon
issuing from the home of Carl Alize
caused the arrest of the man yester-
day afternoon on a charge of robbing
the store Of r. B. Andrews, 721 South
Fountain street, March II. The war
rant for his arrest was issued yester-
day afternoon by Justice of the Peace
Orren Wilson, before whom he will be
tried this afternoon on charges of bur-
glary and larceny.
The arrest was caused by Mr.. An
drews after he had made an investi-

to catch the man they suspect. 1t is
believed that two strangers, who were
seen around the passenger station sew
eral days ago, can be connected with
the recent robberies in the city.
The first burglary was committed
in the store of Hirsch Bros Mercan-
tile Co., in Haarig. Two days later two
men broke into the home of DR.. r. F.
Wiehterich on Good Hope street. In
both instances the burglars did not OBJ
tain anything, as they were fright
ened away by either the police or the
citizens.
