DRAINAGE CASE
ARGUED BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
Pros. Attorney Caruthers and
Judge Hays for County
Against Drainage Dist.
DECISION MAY NOT BE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Little River Drainage District
Represented by Senator
Oliver.

The suit of Cape Girardeau County
against the Little River Drainage Dis
trict, which is now pending before the
Supreme Court, was argued Monday
afternoon by Prosecuting Attorney
Caruthers and Judge Edward D. Hays,
who has been assisting the county in
the suit. 1t is believed, however, that
no decision will be rendered by the Su-
preme Court for several months.
Prosecuting Attorney Caruthers, up
on his return from the State capital,
yesterday afternoon, said he believed
that the case might be decided in favor
of the county. The Supreme judges,
he said, took unusual interest in the
matter, and several remarks made by
them during the argument, left room
for the inference that they would find
for the county.
After the Prosecuting Attorney had
presented the facts of the case to the
court, Judge Hays began his argu,
ments on the technical points of the
laws. 1t is the question whether the
bridges over the drainage channels ex-
cavated by the drainage district shall
be built by the corporation or by the
county. A similar suit brought against
the drainage district by the authorize:
of Scott County was decided against
the county by the Supreme Court sew
eral months ago.
The amendment to the old law enact
ed in 1913 by the State Legislature re-
stricting the right of the county t.
sue the drainage district for its failure
to erect bridges across the channels
where they intersect a public high
way, was the chief argument in tn
Cape Girardeau County case. Thl
amendment authorizes any corporation
to erect bridge across the private
rights-of way that have been cut b,
the district channels and then sue tn
district for the costs Of the construc
ton, but restraints the county authori
ties from taking such steps.
In conflict with this amendment, tn
prosecuting attorney said, the common
law could be applied in favor of tn
county, which would force the con
struction of the bridges upon thos
VINO necessitated the bridges mean
ing in this case the Little River Drain
age District.
The district is represented by Sena
tor r. B. Oliver and his son, Buret
Oliver. Both sides were required t
file the briefs setting forth the fact
in the case several months ago, an
after the briefs had been passed o.
by the Supreme Court the date for tn
arguments was fixed.

Playing with Matches.

was burned April rs while playing
with matches in the rear of the home

gan striking the matches and ignited

With her clothes ablaze she ran into
the street, where she was overtaken by
several men who were passing. They
wrapped her in blanket and smother
ed the flames, but the girl had already
been burned from head to foot. She
was carried to physicians office who
dressed the wounds.

and Mrs. Wilson caves of South Fred
erick street. The funeral arrange
ments were not made last night, but

COAST ARTILLERY
Is AT WAR STRENGTH
Sergeant O'ROurke Ordered not
to Receive more Applications
For That Branch.

The coast artillery having been re-
cruited to full war strength, no more
applications will be received for that
branch of the army, Sergt. O'Rourke,
who is in charge Of the local recruit
ing station, was yesterday Informed by
Adjutant General Mccain in Wash
ington.
Sergeant O'Rourke said that the
tendency among the young men to
join the coast artillery was very
strong, and that more than one-half
of the recruits he sent to Jefferson
Barracks since the declaration of war
had expressed a desire to join that
branch of the army. He contributes
the heavy registration for the coast ar
tillery to the right work required of
the soldiers of this branch.
Very few applicants have been re-
ceived here for the cavalry and still
less for the navy. The infantry is the
next preferred to the coast artillery.
No recruits were enlisted yesterday.
Last week records showed the great
est number of applicants the local re-
cruiting station had during its exist
ence. Twenty-one young men were
sent to Jefferson Barracks Monday aft
ernoon, and in addition to that more
than eight more had been transferred
to the garrison during the last days of
last week.
This represented the total number of
cnlistment5 during the last week.
