WATER STREET
next IN Line
FOR WARRENITE

Looking around for more streets to
conquer with warrenite the city has
picked out Water street. This after
noon the paving and sewer commits
sion Is considering petition to re-
place the granite blocks in Water
street with the patented favorite OF
Mayor Wilson.
''This petition came from Water
street business men," Chairman Will
liam Chew of the commission said
this afternoon. sI didn't know q
thing about It until came into rhe
meeting"
The scheme to use more warrenfte
contemplates pulling up the blocks
between Gold and Liberty streets.
These granite blocks were laid be-
cause Of the heavy trucking Water
street has to sustain. Few paveHents
will stand up under it.
Mr.Chew was unable to say whether
or not the matter would be put
through, but he rather thought II
ewould because the Water street bust
ness men favored it.
What will be done with the granite
blocks afterward he could not say.
They viii be removed to the city yard
| and later may be put to some use.

man WHO SAID
HE WON'T FIGHT
GETS PINK SLIP
Joseph Tallala Will Remain
Under Surveillance of
Police.

Joseph Tallala, registered in the ma
tional army by the fourth division, is
the first man to get his pink card, no.
tifgying him that he will go to Aver
on ctober 8.
Because of his announcement to
members of the exemption board that
he would not fight for America, did
not intend to go to Camp Aver, and
was not an American anyhow, he took
a trip to the office of the department
of Justice in this city under police es-
cort.
tuted to learn If by chance he was an
alien enemy, for HIS statements this
morning were found to be contradic-
tory to his registration card upoT
which it was found that he had reg
istered as a Slavonian.
Before the police authorities today
he admitted being under the jurisdtc-
ton of Austria Hungary, and said thai
his main idea earlier in the day in
stating that he would not serve. wa.
because of his prepayment on al
electrical course to a scho2l of cor
respondence.
He was given pink slip notifying
him to prepare to join the United
States colprs on Oct. 8. and will re.
main temporarily under police sur
VIGILANCE. The Department of JUS
: tice meanwhile will investigate his sta
tus.

troversy Monday night when a public

ing went deeper than three feet he
procured an injunction.
The city has retaiated by calling
for a public hearing on petition
which will be presented next Monday
night, calling for a five-foot cut in

pected to run true to form.

CATHOLICS PLAN
TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR NEW NURSERY

The Catholic Charitable Bureau has
started a membership campaign to
raise a special relief fund. Because of
the abnormal conditions this promises
to be a very hard winter for the poor
and an emergency relief fund is re-
quired to meet immediate needs and
to carry forward special works. In
the near future the Bureau Is planning
to open q day nursery on the East

meet a very pressing need. In the
factories women are replacing men
who have been drafted and the care
Of the children is one of the problems
which the Bureau Is called upon daily
to meet. Every case will be investi-
gated before the children are admit
ted to the nursery. The nursery is
intended only for those women who
are forced by circumstances to go to
work, because of widowhood, deser-
ton or illness.
The initial cost for equipment and
for running expenses viii be consid-
cradle, and 1t is hoped through this
membership campaign to raise enough
money to make successful Beginning:
A small house has been donated for
J1llS pAIQIDC, ny tAAC OAAAoh ~sAOsesAAAS
Cartridge Co. and the services Of the
sisters have been secured to conduct
the nursery. The city has been di-
vided into districts according to par
ish boundaries with leaders and sub
committees at work.
The following have been appointed
as the head of the COMMITTEES to col
Iect funds in the various parishes:
st. Augustine's church: Mrs. Francis

This affair If true, has q very dis
