TN CASE

Two wives-mothers both
held the center of interest today
In the double prosecution result
Ing from the escapade of Glenn
Edwards and Mrs. f. T. Bates in
st. Louis, and the subsequent
beating given to Edwards by
Bates, Waldo Breeze and Arthur
Hanson.
Mrs. Edwards, at first refusing
to believe the reports in connec-
ton with her husbands arrest, is
the loyal wife.
Although she has refused to say
anything about the case at the Ed
wards home, SO North Sheridan
ST., is is understood she will stand
back of her husband to the last,
In his trial on a charge of grand
larceny.
Mrs. Bates Missing.
The whereabouts of Bates di-
vorced wife could not be learned
Saturday
She has refused to have any
thing to do with her former hus-
band. She has refused to accept
his offer to provide her with a
liberal allowance and a home in
Seattle, where she might take
care of their 9-year-old daughter.
Although she knows now of her
husbands relations with Mrs.
Bates, Mrs. Edwards apparently is
protecting him in every possible
way for the sake of their two
young children.

LONDON, July 14.-"There can
be no lasting peace until the re-
sponsibility of governments to
their people is clearly established
from one end of Europe to the
other" declared Premier Lloyd
George today in a telegram to the
Russian premier, Prince Lvoff.
Coming at time when the Ger

political struggle to achieve some
measure of reform in government,
the British premier's message is
strikingly significant.
The prime minister thus vigor-

ciples for which the allies are
fighting.

Remove Signs From Trees.


The State Highway Department is
receiving many inquiries in regard to
the law which requires that adverts-
ing signs shall be removed from all
fruit, shade and ornamental trees along
the public highways. In order that
there may be no Misunderstanding Of
this provision of the law, section 81,
page AGA, Session Laws 1917, is here
quoted in full:
1.-The county highway engineer and
overseers shall protect all fruit, shade
and ornamental trees dong the sides
OF the public roads, and shall forth
| with remove all signa and advertise :
ments whatsoever that may nave been
nailed or fastened to any of said trees.
And it shall be the duty OF the county
highway engineer to see that this pro-
vision is enforced.'
Many trees along our public roads
are damaged every year by having
nails driven into them TO support ad-
vertising signs. The State Highway
Department suggests that signs be
! placed along the public roads by road
oyerseers, giving information OF in
terest and value TO the traveller. These
signs should warn again sharp curves
and dangerous crossings, and should
give correct distances between points
Signs Of this character should be
erected on metal or wooden stand
ards, and should be placed so they
will not obstruct the view.

The Automobile License Tag Award


The attempt of Mr.. Henry A.
Grimm, of the Grimm Stamp and
Badge campany, Of st. Louia, through
the Post Dispatch, to make it appear
that the Secretary of State has let a
contract for the 1918 automobile IL
cense tags to "a friend" at an exhor-
bitant price, has not unduly disturbed
Secretary Sullivan.
"The facts in the case are these"
Mr.. Sullivan said to a newspaper man:
1.-THE Grimm company has had the
contract continuously since 1911, and
l can not find anywhere in the office
record of single competitive bid.
The Grimms have charged the state
as high as q cents apiece for inferior
tags with a baked paint finish, and
now they are offended because / let
the 1918 contract at 10 cents fiat for
an enameled plate far superior to any
heretofore furnished the state. A tag,
by the way, that the Grimm company
said in a letter to Mr.. Roach in 1916
could not be made--and on the
strength Of that assurance was given
a contract to supply the tags for two
yearsl9l6 and 1917.
"Siuce came into Office the auto.
mobile department has been hampered
many times by the failure OF the Grimm
concern to live up to the contract and
the state has spent several dollars in
telegraph and telephone tollstrying to
hurry them up on orders. On one oc-
casion Mr.. st. John, then supervisor
OF the automobile department, had to
make special trip to st. Louis to get
chauffeur's badges for the Missouri
Ambulance Corps on the way to
France, the Governors son among the
thirty members.
"My chief clerk, Mr.. Larry Powers,
is away on his vacation now and can
not quote verbatim the telephone con-
versation he had with Mr.. Grimm last
February, but as the result Of that con.
versation we figured on q cost OF IL
cents plate in making our estimate
; to the appropriations committee, bas.
, ing our estimate on the assurance that
metal prices were soaring and that we
would have to pay more than in the
past even for burnt paint tags.
"Later we found out that enameled
plates Of good quality could be bought
for IL cents each, and decided to have
enamel. Perhaps that is the reason
the Grimm company never fled q
formal bid.
IA man who said his name was
Grimm, and who carried q handful Of
! samples, stopped mo on High street
one afternoon about $50 and wanted
to show me bis samples. I did not
. want to zee them there, and told him,
when be insisted that he wanted to
, make me q proposition, (he did not
. say that It would save the state mon.
ey",, that II he wanted to bid on the
automobile license tag contract to
, write out bio bid and send II TO my
I ofios and that Il would b considered.
He did not submit . bid.
