To Make South Cape Plant
Double Its Output of
Last Year.
TO INCREASE FORCE
OF EMPLOYEES TO 200
Rush orders have Swamped Plant
Which Crushes 1000 Cubic
Feet Daily.

Edward Hely, owner of the rock
crusher in South Cape. has begun the
construction of a new cIusher to cost
approximately $4,000. The new plant
will be IN duplicate Of the present
crusher, and has been made necessary
by the unusual increase in business.
The cIusher is being erected just
west Of the old plant. The company,
during the next twelve months. ex-
poets to double the output of the plant
last year
The institution is now crushing 1000
cubic feet of rock daily, and when
the new crusher begins operation, the
daily output will be increased to 4OCO
cubic feet, Mr.. Hely said last night.
The rock crusher supplies the ce-
ment plant with the necessary raw
material for the production Of cement.
Mr.. Hely said that the cement plant is
making increased demands on him and
then he is also receiving large orders
from outside sources. The increase in
orders, he said, made the second plant
necessary in order to meet
the demands.
The extensive use of cement in the
of buildings and streets
has caused an unusual demand for il
from all sections Of the country. Con-
tractors and builders have been made
to realize the permanent advantages
of concrete work, and cement has rap
idly been supplanting the lighter ma
terial used in the construction of build
ings as we'll as in building streets. 1t
is also extensively used in sewers, be
cause of its durable quality.
At present the Hely plant employs
100 men. The new addition will al
most double the number of employees,
Mr.. Hely said.

VOLUNTEER fire.
men Will GET HOSE
Pipe Discarded by City Depart
ment TO 60 to South
Cape.

The volunteer fire department of
South Cape will be given 600 feet Of
the old fire hose Of the city fire depart
ment, NJ. f. Leming, sponsor of the
volunteer department, announced last
night The hose has not been used by
the Cape department since several sec
tions Of new hose were acquired some
months ago.
Three weeks ago resolution was
passed by the City Council to have the
old hose turned over to the volunteers
of South Cape. 1t was decided to do
this Immediately, but because OF the
repairs, the house for the volunteers
was undergoing, there was no room
for the hose.
The old house on the crossing of the
railroad tracks on Elm street has been
put in shape by Mr.. Leming and will
shelter the hose cart that has been in
use in that part of the city for num-
Der of years. A suggestion was made
to turn the old hose wagon of the Cape
fire department over to the South
Side, but there was no suitable space
to be had for the vehicle.
The volunteers have not organized
as yet but expect to do so in the
near future. The South Side at pres
ent is without fire protection and has
been depending on the aid from the
department Of the Cape. This was
mainly due to the fact that the hose
formerly used by the volunteers had
decayed and there were no available
funds to replace the hose.
The old cart used by the department
in South Cape has been repaired and
put in better condition so that it can be
used for hauling the hose to and from
the fire house.

SHIRIFF CONTEST
BEGINS TOMORROW
Brinkopf Will Attempt to Get
Position Which Voters Gave
to HutsOn.

The election contest brought by Hen
~ Brinkopf, defeated Republican can
didate, against Sheriff n. J. Hutson,
will be tried Friday morning in the
Circuit Court of Jackson. The case
was originally set for Jan. 2, but has
been continued twice at the request of
the attorneys for the contestant.
In his petition asking for the con-
test, Brinkopf ses forth that there
were more than 20 illegal votes cast in
the city of Cape Girardeau. Besides
he alleges several hundred fraudulent
votes had been cast fn the county.
The 20 votes to be contested in the
Cape were alleged to have been cast
by men who We're not entitled to a
vote, because they were non-residents
of the city. More than fifty of these
alleged fraudulent voters were said to
be found legal.
Hutson, who was sworn in on Jan.
/, was elected by majority OF AZ
votes, according to the official re
count The first returns gave Sheriff
Hutson a smaller majority. He was
the only Democratic candidate to be
elected in Cape County.
When the suit for the contest was
filed and the names of those who were
charged with fraudulently voting were
published, these men threatened to
bring suit against the contestant
charging him with libel. 1t is said
that the contest was filed at the insti-
cation of the Republican party and
that the defeated candidate was lured
into giving his consent by the political
powers of the county.

ence Monday.

The Frisco Railroad has made sew
eral concessions in response to the
request OF City Counselor Knehans re-
garding the paving of Aquamsi street,
between independence and Merri-
Wether street, Mr.. Knehans announced
yesterday. He will not divulge the
concession made by the road until he
confers with the officials Monday.
Some time ago Knehans wrote the
Frisco officials, asking that the rail-
road bear part of the expenses of the
Improvement of Aquamsi street. When
he did not receive a response after a
reasonable time, he announced that he
would take the matter to court if the
railroad did not heed to his request.
Yesterday the City Counselor receiv-
ed an answer which he declared to be
quite favorable, but still, he said, the
reply did not come up to his expecta-
tiOns, and for that reason he would
make the trip to st. Louis to confer
with the heads Of the road.
Aquamsi street is the continuation
of Main street, north of Independence.
The street is almost impossible dur
ing wet weather and the Improvement
is dire necessity. The City Coun-
selor Will endeavor to settle the mat
ter outside of court as speedily as
possible
