JAIL COMMISSION PLANS
FOR NEW BUILDING

Chairman Of the Commission Author.
lied to Advertise for Bids. Work
May Begin Soon.
At a meeting of the Jail Commission
held in the office of Supervisor Watts
last week, plans were discussed for
early construction Of the proposed
county jail provided for in the meet
ing Of the 1917 session of the General
Assembly. The chairman of the com
mission was instructed to advertise
for bids to be opened at an early date
and it Is expected hat work upon the
new building will be undertaken soon
after bids are opened.
1t will be remembered that an ap-
preparation was made for the building
in the 1917 session of the General AS
scmbly, but on account Of the advanc-
ing cost Of material and the request
from the government to hold up build
ing operations during the war the
plans were held in allegiance until a
more favorabcl time. AT the meeting
or the commission last week it was
thought advisabl to take up the mat
ter again.
The commission has had several
plans Of jail building in contcmpla-
ton, but it is understood that plans
similar to the Newbcrry county jail
have been most favorably received In
all probability these plans will be fol-
owed with the exception that as much
space will not be given to the shcriff's
living quarters. It is estimated that
the sheriff's quarters in the Newberry
Jail cost about $4,000 and the local
commission will hardly authorize such
a large expenditure for this part of
the building. The commission will
most probably make provision for
modest quarters for a keeper only.

Motion for Change
of Overruled

Edward Smith, who stands charged
in the Circuit Court of this county
with murder in the first degree for the
alleged killing of Raymond Albaugh,
on September ID, 1919, filed his applis
cation and affidavit for change Of
venue from the inhabitants of this
county on account of their alleged
prejudice to such an extent that he
could not have a fair and impartial
trial in this county.
This phase of the case came up for
trial on last Tuesday, before Judge
Huck. The defendant introduced six
teen witnesses to sustain his applica-
ton, and the State introduced fifteen
witnesses in opposition. After quite
an extensive argument by the attor-
ncys representing each side, the
Court took the matter under advise
ment until Wednesday morning at 8
o'clock, when he overruled defendants
application. The case, on its merits,
is set down for November 81 for
trial.

Try, Try Again

The second vote that has recently
been taken in Ste. Genevieve county,
on good roads bond issue, again fell
short of authorizing such bond is
sue, but by greatly reduced major
ity over the original vote on such a
proposition. In fact, the last trial
failed to authorize such an issue by
the narrow margin of five votes.
While it is most lamentable that the
votes of only five men, who are not
alive to the present needs, should de-
feat such a splendid proposition as
the improvement of the public high
ways, the only right course to pursue
is to try, try again. And The Times is
informed that this is the position that
is taken by the Ste. Genevieye County
Judges; that they will soon call for
another election, in the hope that
enough citizens, who have heretofore
been sleeping on their rights, will be-
come aroused to the true condition of
affairs, and vote the next time as all
enterprising citizens should vote on
such a forward-looking proposition as
is the putting Of county highways in
condition for use at all seasons Of
the year, regardless of weather con-
ditions. The third trial will certainly
prove to be winner.

ST. JOE STUNT" NIGHT

The employees of the st. Joseph
Lead Co., with their families, were
very highly entertained at the Y. NJ
C. A. building in Flat River last Tues
day night. The entertainment was ar
ranged and put on, with the exception
of one or two numbers, by mon VINO
work at the various mills and mines
of the st. Joe Co. To say it was a
success would be- putting it mildly,
for everyone seemed to be enjoying
him or herself to the limit all of the
two and half hours it took to rer-
der the program, which was arranged
so as to give each of those present
with different tastes something to en-
joy.
The opening number was rendered
by the orchestra from No. 8 mill, con-
sisting of the following players:
First violin, Arthur Boyer; second vi
olin, Miss Elizabeth Boyer; guitar,
Frank Fuller; cello, VIM. Wann; piano,
John Reducit.
The orchestra deserves special men
tion for the way the crowd was enter
tanned between numbers.
"The Nifty Niger Nine" quadrille
was enjoyed by all, especially the chill
dren, as was also the wrestling match
between VIM. Gosser and Hop Dip; the
boxing contest by M. Yount and P. e.
Blaylock, and the singing by Miss
Edith Mitchell, in which the audience
joined in the chorus.
After the two-reel movie show, which
ended the program for the evening,
the crowd was dispersed, hoping the
next "St. Joe Stunt Night" would ar
rive quickly, also that the "Y" man
agement would enlarge the building
as many left because they could not
get a look in, and all the standing
space was taken.

Auto COllideS
With Street Car

1t was clearly demonstrated Tuesday
evening that trolley car could not
be butted off the track by an automo-
bile, nor would it give the right-of-
way to one. Mr.. Waters tells of his
experience that evening as follows:
about 7:45 Tuesday evening my
wife and | were on our way to the
Monarch. West Columbia street, near
the Presbyterian church, makes a
sharp curve. On the right side of the
street was a parked auto, without
lights. On the left was an excavation
in the street for city water pipes. The
street was very dark and narrow at
this point, and, in order to clear the
auto, which l could scarcely see, /
veered my machine to the extreme
left of the car track. Looking east /
saw, what thought, was an auto COM
ing west and only a short distance
away, and in order to give 1t the right.
of-way / attempted to drive to the
right side of the stress. But instead
of it being an auto | saw it was the
trolley car, and before | could get
across the track, our cars collided.
Had not Motorman Shipp promptly
applied the brakes of his car and
brought it almost to a standstill, the
result would have been more serious.
Mrs. Waters received a slight cut on
her nose and one eye bruised, while /
received-a lesson. Neither car was
badly damaged"

Successful Field
Trial Meeting

A successful meeting of the Missou-
ri Field Trial Association was held at
Iron Mountain Monday and Tuesday.
The weather was ideal, the ground
was in splendid condition, and the one
thing that was lacking to initiate
against the complete success of the
meeting was the scarcity of birds.
Only few coveys of quail were
flushed, and it was then that the real
hunting instinct of the thoroughly
trained dogs was put to real test.
Owners, with their dogs, were pres
ent from several different States, in
cluding Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and
from different places in this State.
Yet there were not as many dogs
present as were expected. Several
from St. Louis whose owners had ex-
pectcd to have in attendance, were not
there, though there were several doz-
en- thoroughbred pointers and settlers
there, enough to furnish splendid en-
tertaihment for the sportsmen ant
dog fanciers, whose greatest delight
is to see perfectly trained dogs at
work. Some splendid records were
made, but owing to the scarcity Of
dogs, the work and business Of the
Association was completed in two
days, when the meeting adjourned.

MINISTER'S EXPRESS
FEELING FOR MINERS

Several Southern Methodist minis
ters who had been associated with
mining communities in different cit
les, spoke at their denomirational
meeting yesterday on the strike stu
ation. 1t was the general impression
that tie miners should have more con-
sideration in the fact that, although
the government removed the restric-
tions on coal and the prices went up,
they themselves had not received a
proportional advance.
Rev. DR.. j. C. Handy of University
Church, who had formerly pastorate
among miners in Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA, said that he thought the hours
should be better regulated and condi-
tions improved. Various demands on
the miners, such as furnishing their
own tools, gave ground for grievanc-
eg, he said. The public scarcely un-
derstands the miners hardships, and
much remains to be done in making
their cause known, DR.. Handy said.
Samuel A. Bennett of Marvin
Church was once miner and he said
that there is popular misunderstand-
ing about the fabulous wages" which
the miner is supposed to get. Deduc-
tions for irregular hours and for fail
ure to get cars for shipment, made the
pay much smaller than is generally
thought.
Rev. j. o. Evitts of Arlington
Church, who had been clerk in a
company store in Illinois, said that he
thought conditions in Southern Illinois
must be better than those pictured by
DR.. Handy in Eastern Pennsylvania.
Rev. w. j. Hays of Stephen Memo
rial Church, pastor for five years at
Festus, Mo-, favored the workingman.
Rev. w. H. Markley, formerly of Flat
River, Mo-, said that in the Flat River
district there are not so many for
eigners as there used to be, but a
very fine type of men was to be found.

Conservation lis
the Only Way

The Times has heard some COM
plant about the street lights not nav
ing been on at night for some time
pest. There is no question but that
this omission causes some inconveni-
ence--perhcps more or less trouble on
occasion. And yet, under existing
conditions, we do not feel that such
complaints are substantially ground
ed, in view of the conditions that are
actually upon us in regard to the very
critical scarcity of coal.
1t requires an immense amount of
coal to keep the Pennington power
plant going, while for some time past
it has been practically impossible TO
secure coal at any price. The city au-
thorities were particularly fortunate
in having quite a supply of coal on
lend when the coal shortage begun to
be felt. Had it not been for such a
fortunate condition, this city might
now have been suffering far more than
it is ut present.
In fact, this paper feels that the
citizens of Pennington are fortunate
that thoy have not been deprived of
electricity, power and water for their
homes and business places. The cut
ting off of any of these three necegsi-
ties, it must be admitted, would be far
more disastrous than the discontinue
ance of street lighting.
The good ald-fashioned practice of
carrying lGntcrns should largely over
come the absence of street lighting,
and even though it is rather primi-
tive custom, would not such method
be far better than the forced aban-
donment of house lighting, power and
water? Then, again, can any one say,
with any degree of certainty, as TO
Just when the coal shortage will be
relieved in this community? 1t is GER
tain thct the dealers do not know, and
they should be in better position to
speak on such matter than most
other citizens.
In view of all the circumstances and
conditions, The Times does not feel
that criticisms of the city administra-
ton, on the cutting out OF street ligh-
ing during what has been practically a
very near approach to a ccal famine,
rests on a solid foundation. On the
contrary, this paper feels that the
Mayor and entire city administration
is to be commended on their apparent
watchfulness of their coal supply, and
the methods that have been adopted
to conserve such supply. Instead Of
receiving public censure in this crit
ical period, they are certainly entitled
to the earnest thanks OF the public for
the efficient and businesslike manner
in which they are handling the present
critical fuel situation.
