NO AUDITORIUM SITE
AT HIGH PRICES NAMED
MAYORS COMMISSION AT
COMPLETE STANDSTILL.
No Action to Be Taken Unless
Figures Are Lowered or
Other Tracts Offered.

Until new sites are offered or
reduction In the price Of those al
ready submitted is made, the matter
of a new auditorium Is at a stand
still.
There will be no further meeting
OF the auditorium commission until
it has something to consider" de-
clared Chairman 2. w. Wheland. I'VE
have nothing to consider now. All
members of the board are deter
mined that a site shall not be pur-
market value of the real estate and
we are convinced that none Of these
sites before the board Is a good pur-
chase at the price asked. That leaves
us without any business to transact
and therefore the date of the next
meeting cannot be known"
The commission announced some
time ago that it would be impossible
to pay 100000 or 100000 for a site
and still build the memorial audito-
rum for the sum of money allowed
for the project by the recent bond
issue. Only 100000 is authorized
in bonds and building like the one
planned cannot be erected for less
than 100000, as would be the case
! If more than 100000 was paid for a
site. The auditorium commission
has considered a number of available
sites and the cost of all Is too high.
New sites must be offered or the
owners of the present considered To-
cations induced to accept less for
their holdings. Should any Of the
property owners decide to reconsider
their prices and submit the new fig
ures a meeting of the auditorium
commission would probably be called.

CUSED BY CoLoRED BOY.
Case Heinous in It's Nature.
Will Be Passed on by Judge
McReynolds Saturday.

One of the worst cases ever heard

colored. The charge against Hender-
son, which is heinous one, was
made by a young colored boy. The
boy had been sent to grocery store
and It is charged he was stopped by
the Henderson negro and taken to
his home where an assault was COM
mitted on him.
The child went home and told his
grandmother and the grandmother
had Henderson arrested.
A negro doctor testified that the
child was In bad condition when he
was called to examine him.
Henderson denied the charges, say
ing the child was not near him.
However, Henderson was proved a
worthless character and not fond Of
work. He stated he Is walter, cook
and musician by profession, but the
only thing he admits doing lately Is
playing a plano at Lookout lake.
After hearing the evidence Judge Nc
Reynolds with held his decision un-
til Saturday morning at which time
he will hear another witness.

efit of the Flacker child for injuries
tached to the suit and the bill calls
attention to the fact that the note
on its face bears the legal rate of

and Is a fraud on the rights of COM

fort to collect 1t the defendant has
failed and refused to pay 1t, making
excuse after excuse. The complain
ant states that after every known
effort to collect the debt he feels 1t
is now incumbent upon him to take
the above steps. Across the face OF
