ERNEST HOBBS DIED
EARLY LAST NIGHT
Former Head of Mercantile Firm
Expired After Several Years.
Illness.

After several years illness, Ernest
Hobbs, erstwhile owner of the Hobbs
Mercantile Co., died last night at his
home on the corner of William and
Pacific street. Although his health
had been failing for years, his death
was unexpected, as he had been able
to walk around during the last day of
his life.
Mr.. Hobbs was born in Cape Girar-
deau, April q, 1865, and lived here
all his life. He was a member of one
of the oldest families in Cape County,
one of the first settlers of this section
of the State. At one time he was one
Of the leading business men Of the
city, but suffered heavy financial re-
verses and had to retire from bust
ness.
Besides his widow, Mr.. Hobbs leaves
two children, Joseph Hobbs and Mrs.
w. A. Lowe, who resides in St. Louis
She was notified of her fathers death
and is expected to be here to attend
the funeral. The son has been serv-
ing in the navy for several years, and
owing to the present national situa-
tion, special arrangements were made
to have him attend the funeral of his
father.
The time of the burial was not
known last night. The relatives de-
cided to wait till the son had received
word Of his fathers death before set
ting the day Of the burial. The body
will be inferred at Lorimier Cemetery
beside his relatives in the old family
lot.

BURGLARS BREAK
into HAARIC SHOP
Steal Pennies From Tin Shop of
John FTenzel.Scattered Checks
Over Streets.

Thieves broke into the tin shop of
John Frenzel on Good Hope street
Wednesday night, and after ransack-
ing the entire place, scattered bun
die of cancelled checks over the floor
and over the streets of Haarig. They
obtained, as far as the owner could
ascertain, only few Lincoln pennies,
which were kept in desk.
The burglars gained entrance by
forcing {; window on the west side of
the shop, between the building and
the Orpheum Theater. A billboard
along the sidewalk protected the
thieves and prevented any passers-by
from seeing what was going on.
After searching the whole shop, the
thieves pried open a desk in which
Mr.. Frenzcl kept his business papers
and the coins. Mr.. Frenzel could not
say how many pennies he had in the
desk, for he had saved them for more
than a year. The thieves left the
shop by unlocking the rear door.
The burglary was discovered carly
yesterday morning, when the owner
opened up for his days work. After
taking an inventory. he was satisfied
that the thieves had not stolen any of
his tools. When asked whether he had
reported the theft to the police, he
answered in the negative, stating he
did not think it worth while, because
he was certain that he could not re-
ceive any help from the police in
tracing the burglars.

Defendant Admits T aking
Friends Coat and Is Fined
Small Sum.
JUDGE PREVENTS FIGHT
SPIRITS WOMAN AWAY
Complainant Threatens to Get"
Her Friend, but Jugge Prevents
Encounter.

A fistic encounter between two
women in Judge Willer's office wa:
averted yesterday afternoon by th'
timely interference of the Judge anc
the "spiriting away" of the one woman
who was charged with petit larceny.
Hostilities were called off when the
Judge advised the defendant to hurry
away in Prosecuting Attorney Ca
ruthers' automobile, under the pro-
lection of Constable Scivally.
The women were Mrs. Gertrude
Fisher and her friend, Eva Angelo,
whom the former charged with steal
ing a new coat. The trial resulted in
a charge and counter-charge between
the complainant and the defendant.
The latter was found guilty by Judge
Willer and fined 81 and costs. She
was given three days to raise the
money.
The sentiment grew as Mrs. Fisher
testified at the beginning Of the hear
ing. She said she had seen her friend
take the coat and saw her wear it.
The girl readily admitted this, but
added she had permission to wear the
coat. -s---..
When Judge Willer pronounced his
sentence, Mrs. Fisher sprang to her
feet and threatened to beat her friend.
"I'll get you yet" she exclaimed, "and
if l will have to pay a fortune, you
will get yours from me-" While Judge
Willer engaged Mrs. Fisher in a con-
versation, the girl was Spirited"
away in the automobile of the prose-
cutting attorney.
Mrs. Fisher gained considerable
publicity two weeks ago, when she
told her friends that she had inherited
$28,000 from her fathers estate in
Arkansas. She says she deposited the
money in bank at Parogould, Ark,
and would make life comfortable for
herself and her two children.
Eva Tngelo, who lived with her
friend in Smeltervilla, injured her
hand Tuesday afternoon and was car
rying the hand in a sling when she
appeared for trial. She repeated sew
eral times she would defend herself
as soon as her injury had healed.

Southeast Missouri against soldiers
for violating the State laws was held
here this afternoon, when two men,
bers of the Thebes company Of the
Illinois National Guard were hailed in
court on charges of disturbing the
peace and destruction Of property. The
two men were fined So and costs up
on their plea of guilty. They were
taken back to Thebes this evening by
Lieutenant Hill, in charge of that COM
pay.
The two were arrested Wednesday
evening after they had created dis
turbance in front of a saloon. They
had been elected from the saloon when
they insisted that the keeper serve
them some beer. He explained he
could not sell any intoxicating liquor
to soldiers, and ordered them out of
the place.
Angered over the treatment the two
soldiers, according to witnesses, threw
several empty bottles at the saloon,
breaking the window. When Deputy
Night Marshal William Cruise at

rest they resisted and other police
men were called to his assistance.

HUNG JURY LIKELY
IN TRIAL OF WOMAN
Men to Decide Fate of Mrs. AL
len of Charlottesville Deliber.
ate 30 Hours.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Caruthersville, July 26.-Convinced
that the jury in the trial against Mrs.
Bertha Allen for the death of hel
husband last April would not reach
a verdict tonight, the Judge ordered
court adjourned shortly before
o'clock, giving the deputy sheriff
charge of the dozen men. The jury
has been out since Wednesday even
ing, and the indications are that no
agreement will be reached, and that a
mistrial will be ordered by the Judge.
Mrs. Allen is on trial for the mur-
der of her husband, who was shot
and killed last April by Virgil Combs,
a youth, who had been paying atten-
tion to Mrs. Allen. The young man
was tried last week and was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
Young Combs was the main witness
in the trial against Mrs. Allen, and
after receiving his sentence. told the
Judge that he would make complete
confession. Aside from his testimony
the State had several letters to offer
indicating that the youth and Mrs.
Allen had conspired to kill her hus-
band.
Mrs. Allen was kept on the witness
stand for several hours, but entered
flat denial Of all charges and all
the allegation contained in the confess
sion and the testimony Of her alleged
conspirator.
Repeatedly the fashionabIy dressed
and pretty brunette broke down under
the strain of the questions put to her
by the prosecuting attorney, but she
soon regained her usual composedness
and emphatically denied all knowledge
OF the plot made to kill her husband.
The Stote relied mainly upon the
confession and testimony of the young
man, and a letter, which he admitted
having written to Mrs. Allen contain
ing the plans for the murder of her
husband. Mrs. Allen, however, denied
that she knew of the existence of this
miSSive.
When placed on the stand as States
witness against the woman he onced
loved Young Combs told the jury of
every incident that had any bearing
on his becoming acquainted with the
defendant and with the murder of
Allen. Mrs. Allen, in turn, repudiated
his testimony, but admitted that she
had been intimate with the youth and
that he had kissed her on several oc-
casions.
The courtroom was crowded to its
capacity throughout the trial. The
murder of Allen was of the most SEN
satlonal crimes placed on the criminal
annals of Pemiscot County and be-
cause of the wide acquaintance of the
couple, everybody who had the time
hurried to the courtroom to witness
the trial. The case against Mrs. AL
len was started Tuesday morning, aft
er the youth had been sentenced the
day before.

The dog owners, who were drafted

Judge Fristoe Tuesday, Slipped" one

for failure to remit the dog license.
When Police Court convened this
morning three Of those summoned in

peared and told the Judge that their
dogs had either been killed accidental
ly or that they had the police kill the
animals, and the cases were stricken

Immediately after Chief of Police
Whitener had served the warrant on
him Wednesday morning.
]. A. Michael, living on West Mer-
riwether street, another delinquent
dog owner, reported to the City At
torney that he had killed his dog a
short time after he had received no
tice to appear in Police Court. He
said he did not consider the dogs life
equivalent to the trouble growing out
of his failure to pay for the animals
right of existence, and therefore de-
cided to wipe out the canine'e life.
Della Lee Johnson, colored woman
living on South Frederick street, also
had her dog slain by the police after
she had received the warrant. She
said she could not afford to pay such
a high license. Mrs. Albert Hollweg,
the fifth owner drafted by the city
officials, had her dog removed outside
the city after the warrant had been
served on her. Mrs. Hollweg, a col
ored woman, who makes a spare liv-
ing by taking in washing, said she
could not pay the exorbitant dog tax.
Living near the city limits, she out
witted the officials by taking the dog
from the jurisdiction of the city and
removing him into the country.
Another "draft" will be held this
afternoon at the Office of the City At
torney. In the second drawing, ten
numbers will be taken from the poll
box, and the Judge will issue war
rants for the arrest of those persons
whose names are found on the slips
taken from the box. This method will
be continued, and the number doubled
each time until all delinquent dog own
ers have been drafted"

forth as one of the leading national
figures, he being one of the few sem
ators grasping the magnitude of the
struggle forced upon this nation and
doing the right things every time in
an effort to make the efforts of the
nation efficient. Senator Fall is the
admitted leader of those republicans
who made it possible for Wilson to
get through his most important and
far reaching war measures. Fall Sc
cured for the Wilson administration
the needed republican votes and held
them on the firing line, when almost
any other man would have failed
He urged more powers for the pres
ident, and more speed in acting on
all proposed legislation, but even the
democratic leaders got "cold feet,
believing it best to advance more
slowly. Now the entire nation is
trying to place the blame for the
failure to get action in proper time
and this administration will soon be
looking around for a goat, while
Fall, always against the administra-
tion until the declaration of war,
stands out as the one man able to
see into the future and judge right

he will be the real leader on the
republican side during the present

season County Treasurer John Eager
reports that he wrote 288 tax re-
ceipts. At this rate the rush will
be over within the next three weeks.

able to keep up with the work of
handling the taxes. There will be
about 5000 receipts in all to write.
