MABREY COLONELCY
Says Democrats Want Gardner's
Friend Elected Head of Mis-
souri, Sixth.

Col. Warren Mabrey, who was elect
ed Colonel of the Missouri Sixth sew
eral days ago, and the officers of the
local company of the same regiment
went to st. Louis this morning to at
tend a meeting of all officers of the
regiment. The meeting was to be held
at the State training camp in Nevada,
but owing to the difficulty of many Off
GERS had in travelling to that city, the
meeting was transferred to St. Louis.
Col. Mabrey told reporter for The
Tribune last night that he was little
worried over receiving his commits
sion. He said he had learned that po-
litical influence was being brought to
bear to hold up his commission, in
view of the fact that several influen-
tial Democrats were attempting to put
over a candidate selected from their
ranks.

GERS elected last Saturday were re-

BONDESUED CARRIES
In MISSISSIPPI co.

The S375,000 bond issue for Missis-
sippi County carried by a majority of
about ten to one, according to B. 3.
Guthrie, County Clerk of Mississippi
County, in a long-distance message
yesterday evening. Only one precinct
had not been reported up to that time,
he said, but this precinct could not
effect the final result in the least, Mr..
Guthrie said.
The total vote cast at the election
was far below the normal vote cast
at the general election, Mr.. Guthrie
said. The total of yesterdays cleo
ton was approximately 2300 votes, or
1000 less than in the last general cleo
ton.
Those opposing the issuance of
these bonds believe that the lack of
interest shown in the bond election
was largely responsible for the over
whelming victory. The fact that 1000
qualified voters failed to appear at
the polls indicates, that few were in
terested in the issue of the bonds, and
had all turned out, the opponents say,
the result of the election would be in
doubt, as it required two-thirds ma
jority to put the bond issue over.

$4,000 DAMAGE
suit IS SETTLED
FOR ONLY $1,000
Roscoe Looney, Injured By
Dredge'Machine Reimbur.
sed for Injuries.
TWO DIVORCE CASES
DISPOSED OF FRIDAY
Bank Gets Judgment of Sl,05l
Against Pruitt Bros. on Notes
Due Bank.

The $4,000 damage suit filed by
Roscoe Looney against the Floesch
Construction Co. for his injuries re-
ceived last September while in the
employ of this concern, was compro-
missed yesterday by Harry E. Alex
ander, who represented the plaintiff,
and the law firm of Oliver & Oliver,
attorneys for the construction COM
pany. Under the terms of the COM
promise, Looney will receive $1,000 and
all costs attached to the suit and also
for his medical treatment.
The suit was filed early this year,
but was continued at several terms
pending the compromise suggested by
both parties. In his petition Looney
alleged he had been injured by one
Of the machines of the construction
company, and that the injury was per-
manent. He was seized by a crane
operated by dredge machine and
pressed against tree stump, sustain
ing injuries to his spine, and also suf-
fering a fracture of the left foot. The
injured man has been unable to work
since the accident occurred, and still
uses clutches to walk.
When the case was called for trial
yesterday morning in Common Pleas
Court the attorneys announced that
they had come to an agreement and
explained to Judge Snider the terms
of their compromise. The Judge then
ordered the settlement entered upon
the records of the court.
Two more divorce suits set for trial
during the July term of the Common
Pleas Court were disposed of by Judge
Snider yesterday. Mrs. Laura Dean,
who sued her husband, William Dean,
for a divorce, was awarded the GUS
tody of the children until further or
ders were given by the court. The
husband will be permitted to see the
children while in the care of their
mother. Mrs. Dean was represented
by Rush Limbaugh.
The divorce filed by Mrs. Ida May
Ferguson against George N. Fergu-
son was dismissed when the attorney
for Mrs. Ferguson announced that the
couple had settled their differences
and that the plaintiff asked that the
case be dismissed.
Judgment to the amount of s1O32. rs
was rendered in the suit filed by the
Allenville State Bank against Louis
Pruitt. The amount was alleged to
be due on two notes given to the
bank by Pruitt and his brothers. The
amount of the first note was S52O.42.
including the interest, the second note
was for S51233.

quired to take physical and mental
examination before they could receive
their commissions. Some of the Off
GERS have already received their GER
tiicate, but Col. Mabrey has failed to
get his so far. He spent several days
in St. Louis, and says he obtained in
formation that some of the friends of
Gov. Gardner were making an effort
to have Major Linxweiler, who OPP
posed Col. Mabrey at the election, take
the colonelcy of the regiment.
In view of the fact that Col. Mabrey
received the solid vote of the officers
of the Southeast Missouri companies
and that even three officers from the
northern section of the State were for
Col. Mabrey, it is hardly probable that
Major Linxweiler would receive suffi-
cient votes to give him the office.

CAPE COUNTY MUST
FURNISH l53 men
3O6 Men to be Summoned Before
Registration Board for Army
Draft.

A total of 306 men will be summon
ed for the first call this week by the
Cape County Registration Board,
Sheriff Hutson told The Tribune yes
terday. From this number the 153
men will be selected Cape Girardeau
County is expected to furnish for the
first call of the selective army draft.
Official notice was received yesterday
morning by the Registration Board
that the quota this county must fur
nish was 153 men.
In view of the presumption that
about one-half of the men summoned
will either be exempted for physical
or other reasons, the Government that
sending the official quota of the county
to the Registration Board ordered that
twice the number of men needed, be
summoned before the board for ex-
animation.
The men will be called in the order
in which their numbers were drawn in
Washington, Sheriff Hutson said. The
first 306 men on the list will receive
a notice late this week to appear be-
fore the Registration Board in Jack
son. The examination of these men
will begin on the second Thursday of
August and continue until all men have

Well, dear folks, whenever you write
don't ask anything of me about the
war. Foodstuffs are about the same
price here as at home, with the ex-

get any United States stamps here,
and all of our mail is handled by our
postmasters and army officers only,
and | wouldn't be able to buy them,
for l am broke and we never received
any pay whatever.
You must write me a letter as soon
as you get this and tell me about
everything you know. l will hereafter
try and write to you every two weeks.
We will probably be moving from one
place to another, but never the less,

PUBLIC INVITED TO
PACODA DEDICATION
Program Arranged for Aug. 5 By
Members of Cemetery
Association.

The program for the dedication of
the Lorimier Pagoda of the graves of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Luis Lorimier,
August 5, was completed at a meet
ing of the Cemetery Association held
at the home of Mrs. Ella Dempsey
yesterday afternoon. 1t was decided
to have the ceremony at a o'clock in
the afternoon.
Mayor Hirsch, the members Of the
City Council and the public as well
have been invited to participate in the
dedication. Rev. Father Levan, presi-
dent of st. Vincent's College, will per-
form the church rites at the dedica-
ton of the structure. Owing to the
fact that the Lorimiers were Cath
olics, the functions of the Catholic
Church for the blessing of the build
ing will be earned out.
Following this ceremony, Miss Helen
Uhl, the only lineal descendant of the
old Lorimier family, will present a
wreath to Hon. Louis Houck, who will
place it upon the grave, whereupon he
will deliver the address. Judge B. F.
Davis will pronounce the eulogy.
At the closing of the dedication the
choir will sing "Te Deum."
Mrs. Dempsey, who is secretary of
the Cemetery Association, issued the
following appeal to the public yes
terday following the meeting yester-
day afternoon: Through the uniform
kindness of The Tribune, we take the
liberty to invite the different societies,
religious and social, to the dedication
of the Lorimier Pagoda Sunday, Au-
gust 5, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon"

FIRST LETTER Is.
SENT BY CAPE
BOYFROMFRANCE
Theodore Ripping Informs
Relatives of Conditions in
War Zone.
ANOTHER CAPE YOUTH
OFF FOR BATTLE FRONT
Charles Hinchey Departed From
Port Late This Week, His
Father Hears.

A letter written by Theodore Kip
ping, the first Cape Girardeau youth,
who was sent to France with a con-
tingent of United States troops, was
received yesterday by his father, Louis
Ripping. 1t is the first information
Mr.. Ripping has received from his
son since the day he departed for
France. The father was somewhat I'M
easy when he did not receive a letter
from his son for several weeks after
he had left the United States.
According to the letter written by
Young Ripping, the prices of 1ood-
stuff in France are about the same as
in the United States at the present
time, excepting fruits, such as bana-
mas, oranges, and also candy. A pack
age of Bull Durham, he writes, costs
40 cents, eight times as much as the
price for the same tobacco in the
United States.
The letter states that the soldiers
who left with the contingent, to which
Young Ripping was assigned, had not
received any pay whatsoever. Several
words in the letter have been can
celled, especially the names of the
city from which the troops sailed, the
name of the place where they are sta
toned, and also the day on which they
arrived in France. This was evidently
done by the censor.
The letter follows:
| must now write you few lines
to let you know that l arrived here
safe after taking US twelve days to
cross the ocean.
We left a.. the and arrived
here in France the .. / observed
a few whales, sea-birds, sharks, jelly
fish, and sea weeds. All these things
were strange, but quite interesting to
me. l saw few fying-fish also.
Whenever, or if should get to see
you all again, will tell you all about
it.
The country around here has prac-
tically all abundant bumper wheat,
potato and rye crops, etc. For the
first time / noticed the actual holly
bushes and l shall bring some shrub
berry home if 1 get time to do so.
The scenery here is quite different
from that of home. All the different
shrubs you may imagine are planted
about the homes. You may be won
dering why / don't write the name
of this place and tell you about the
war, but, dear folks, / must not men
ton this for the safety of ourselves,
but will do so, whenever I get to see
you. / am getting so that I can hold
halfway conversation with the

been examined and have presented
their claims for exemption.
The physical examination, Sheriff
Hutson said, will be held first in order
to determine how many of those who
do not claim exemption must be elimi-
mated for their physical condition.
Following this examination the claims
for exemption will be passed upon by
the board, and if necessary each man
believing to be entitled to exemption,
will be given seven days within which
they may file additional proof for their
exemption claims.

Special to The Tribune.

OpCCldl " uC 1ilbuACs
Hannibal, Mo-, July 27.-John A.
Knott, State Oil Inspector, and widely
known Democratic politician and
newspaper editor, committed suicide
by cutting his throat with razor at
his home in Hannibal late this after
noon. He died shortly after 10 o'clock
tonight. He had been editor of the
Hannibal Morning Journal a quarter
of a century. A general breakdown
in health, together with his failure to
be reappointed oil inspector, which
position he held during former Gov
ernor Majors regime, is believed by
many persons to have caused him to
take his life.
Knott, who was 6S years old, was
believed to have fighting chance for
recovery, but owing to his advanced
age he could not withstand the heavy
loss of blood. He was found in his
room by his wife. For the last few
months Knott had been waging a
strong fight for reappointment as oil
inspector, both United States Senators
Stone and Reed made visits to JEFF
ferson City in his behalf.
Early this week Governor Gardner
officially announced that Omar D.
Gray of Sturgeon, MOI would get
Knots position, while Knott would
be made Land Reclamation Commits
sioner, the salary of which is $1,000
less than what Knott had been draw
ing from the State. More than year
ago Knott suffered an attack of pto-
maine poisoning and was near death.
Since that time he has been in i'll
health.
Knott was a member of the State
Railroad Warehouse Commission II
years. When that department was
abolished four years ago, Governor
Major appointed him State Coal Oil
Inspector. He made his headquarters
in Hannibal. Knott for quarter of
a century has been recognized among
leaders of the Democratic party in
Missouri. During last years CAM
paign he had charge of the publicity
bureau of the Democratic State Com
mittee and spent several weeks in
St. Louis directing this phase of Gov
ernor Gardner's campaign. He was
one of Gardner's strongest followers
during the primary election.
Knott was well known among the
politicians of Southeast Missouri and
also in the Cape. He visited here sew
eral times and was very active in
Democratic politics in this section of
the State. He attended the big DO
litical rally held here in the fall, and
visited on several other occasions. He
is a close friend of Harry E. Alex
ander, the local attorney, and other
prominent Democrats in the Cape.
