KITCHEN FACING
 ST. CAUSED R0W
Owners of Fairfield Avenue Estates Get Injunction
 Against Mitchell. "

Because his new house in the tract known as the Fairfield Avenue Estates was situated so that the kitchen faced the street, George W. Mitchell of 1926 East Main street found himself in trouble with Mark c. Meagher & Co.,, who are developing the property. An injunction to restrain Mitchell from proceeding with the erection of his house was granted a few days ago and this morning there was a hearing on 8 motion by MitchelTs counsel to dissolve the injunction.
 When Mitchell took the stand in the superior court today he explained that he built the house that way be- cause it afforded a better view of the water. He said his wife would spend considerable time in the kitchen and he wished her to have a good view of the street.

According to headquarters it is ex- petced that final reports will show the city 10 per cent. oversubscribed. Despite the fact that the drive may be extended 10 days in some cities, the campaign officially closed here at noon today. and the final total will be ready on Monday.
 The burden of the drive in Bridge port fell upon the banks of the city. They have taken probably over 50 per cent. of the total bonds sold. The Mercantile and Woman's committee sold about $2750, GOO worth of bonds up until this morning.
 Subscriptions coming in this morn ing which pushed the loan over in this city were as follows:
 Aetna. Life Insurance Co.,. $41,300; Mechanics and Farmers bank, $5o,- 900; American Tube and Stamping Co.,, $25, 1000; Harry Walker. 25.o0o; Bridgeport Poster Co., $10,G00; J. A. Murphy. $1o,00O.

. Senator George B. Clark fought va 'liant1y to obtain competitive bids for the S60O,O asked for street pave ments. The senator contended that under new system of giving the contract to the lowest bidder, the city would get many more miles of pave ment for the money: Charles c. San ford and Frank Miller were inclined Ito agree with Senator Clark Mayor Wilson said the city would get as many miles as possible for the money.
 After City Attorney Com1ey an nounced that it was not within the power of the advisory committee to recommend what kind of pavements should be put down the issue was past.
 In talking over the steeplechase Is land project which was approved, Charles s. Garfield said the city pur- chase a white elephant because the government would want to take it over some time.
 It was said that $569,00o, to pay for maturing bonds will have to be approved by July 1.
 Mir. Sanford when he came to the Grand street bridge issue said: This gives me an awful pain in the stom- ach." The mayor agreed, but it was passed.

CHINESE WANT WRITTEN PACT
 ON KIAO-CHAU

Paris. Friday. May 9-(By The As sociated Press)-It seems unlikely that the Chinese will sign the treaty of peace unless China is given writ ten assurance by the Council of Three that Japan will return Kiao- -Chau to China. The Chinese delegates say the clause in the treaty contains no such provision, their only basis for believ- ing that such a restitution will be made in verbal agreement. Without a definite written promise From the Council of Three, they believe it i1n- possible to gain permission from the Chinese cabinet for the signature of the treaty.

Crop Condition in
 Southeast Arkansas

Little .Rock, Sept. 6.-The deter ioration in the condition of the cot ton crop, which soi often occurs in August, happily did not take place in Arkansas, as it did in most of the cotton producing states, according to the report issued today by Charles S Bouton, Field Agent of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, and Jim G. Fer guson, state commissioner of agri- culture.
 It is true that there has been de- terioration in some counties, mainly in the hill sections of central west ern Arkansas, in Independence and Jackson counties, and in the stiff prairie soils of Arkansas. Prairie and Phillips counties, but in seven- teen counties of North and North east Arkansas, including Crittenden county, and in the southern tier of counties, especially in Lafayette, Lit tie River and Columbia, the reports show marked improvement. The other counties have either held their own or made slight improvement.
 The state condition is .65, the re- port shows. Conditions for South east Arkansas counties are as fol-
