MORESNET STATE OF
 DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE

BRUSSELS, June 1S-There shouldn't be any particular howl from Morsenet over the league of nations program which may give the region to Belgium. Eventually vote of the people will decide the question, and it was set up by the congress of Veiana as a separate, though not a sovereign state. In allegiance it has been pc culiarly divided. Belgium and Ger many divided the customs receipts betweens them. Each inhabitant- there were 2SOO before the war might determine whether he would accept jurisdiction of German or Rel- gium courts. Each man could choose whether he would serve in the Ger man or the Belgium army but he must serve in one or the other. As matter of fact, the only desire for control of Moresnet on either side is because of the rich zinc deposits.

to occupy 300 feet facing on Central avenue and 179 feet on Monroe street.
 Plans for a magnificent hotel structure are now being prepared by Posten and Fisher, noted Chicago ho- tel architects and engineers. Prelim- mary plans that already have been submitted and which will be incorpo. rated in the final plans call for a building nine stories in height, ex- elusive of basements and roof gar den. The hotel will have 300 rooms, each with bath, with ice water piped to every room, and the structure will be modern and of the very highest class in every detail.
 The roof garden is designed to solve one of the big problems of Phoenix in providing accommoda- tions for large conventions and other big meetings for which at present there is no ample auditorium. In this garden on top of Phoenix's new million dollar hotel, it is planned to seat 1900 people under one roof A portion of the roof garden will be al glass-enclosed banquet hall where 400 or 500 persons may dine at one time or where smaller conventions can be accommodated.
 At the head of the operating com pany which is to manage Phoenix's magnificent hotel is M. T. Grier, who has made such a success of Castle Hot Spring hotel
 Plans for the hotel are expected form the Chicago architects within 60 days, it was announced last night. Work of raging the old Central school, building on the ground will begin at that time and construction will follow immediately. Construc tion of the hotel will require about eight months, it was stated

 Away at one end of the harbor a lonely Russian gunboat was indulging in the annual washday. Every arti- cle on board the ship had come in for a serubbing. The captain had even gone down into the hold and dug out boxfull of flags that hadn't been used since the bolsheviks conquered the land. They were washed and the wash boys in their enthusiasm ran them far and high to flutter in the first warm sun of a Siberian spring.
 The captain was congratulating himself over the accomplishments when the officers of the deck an nounced a company of American ma rines, armed and commanded by "an officer of high rank"
 The American colonel was talking and pointing. He wasn't even both ering with an interpreter. The cap tain's eyes as he reached the deck followed the colonePs line of vision, there high above the American en- sign fluttered the German flag-in- solently and flauntingly The cap tain's surprise and chagrin was so complete and so unassumed that the colonel believed him instantly Apologies and regrets were profusely offered and quietly received and the next time the Russians laundered their flags on that gunboat every wash boy will know that even for dry ing purposes certain flags can't be strung above the Stars and Stripes.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN SIBERIA, June IS. +Un-Russian-like haste and activity pervade1 American headquarters. Ordinarily only drosky horses and automobiles appear to be in a hurry to get somewhere There fore when telephones buzzed, and khaki-colored forms toed with great speed the broad stairs leading to the chief of staff's office it was a cue to the war-weary Siberian reporter that something had happened-or was about to happen!
 So tense was the excitement and emotion in the big brick building that I couldn't make out whether they were going home or into action.
 On board the U. S. S. Brooklyn the same atmosphere circled around the gun emplacements and whistled through the wireless rigging. A colonel of marines with a congress sional medal of honor on his chest, tapped the brass-covered hatchways with fleet feet. It had been so long since he had had the joy of giving to the order ''To Arms" that no one can dispute the hazard that in his haste he would have preferred to use the bannisters.
 Fifty soldiers looked with envious eyes from the dock as the coloners company scrambled down the plank and into a motor launch.

 The enrichment extends over 30 claims. It is secondary throughout, the oxidized ore having been .eroded, leaving the secondary ore practically bare. The deepest working is an old abandoned shaft, about 100 feet from which a cross-cut was driven 200 feet, away from the ore. Then the big dis covery was made to the south, con- tiguous, and now has been opened in a cut 3Ofeet deep, 20 feet between walls, and possibly more, with the ore getting richer, as the mining of four men with hand steel is continued.
 The character of the ore and the type of eruptive. is comparable with the Silver Bell district, Mineral Hill and Sasco, with the southern extreme end at Douglas and a mine about every F miles.
 The claims are located 10 miles down the Mission road, and mile to the west, in the midst of the Tue son buttes, adjoining the Saginaw. where the Calumet and Arizona drill ed some years ago.

Take Step
 To Bridge
 Big Creek
City Engineer to Draw Plans for Structure Over
 Cedar Creek.
WILL BE GREAT AID
 TO GENERAL TRAFFIC

Initial steps for a bridge across Ce- dar Creek from Howard avenue to Barnum Dyke, were taken by the Streets and Sidewalks committee last night, when the committee voted to instruct the city engineer to draw plans and specifications. The nature of the bridge. whether for pedestrians or general traffic, is left to the Giscre- ton of the city engineer. The plans and specifications are wanted for an estimate of the cost of construction.
 Several months ago a joint resolu- ton was introduced at a meeting of the common council by Aldermen tIacBrido, Lewis and Renchy, asking that some means of transportation be provided across Cedar Creek from Howard avenue to Barnum Dyke. The matter was referred to the Park Board.
 At the August meeting of the coun- cil, the Park Boarl returned a report that insufficient funds alone prevented them from taking the matter up. The matter was referred jointly to the Streets and Sidewalks committee and the Harbor committee.
 It is anticipated that the Connec- ticut Go. will, when funds have been obtained, construct a branch from South Park avenue to South avenue, to Barnum Dyke and thence to the bath houses.
 The section which would be serve is one that is growing rapidly.

MASSE SAYS
 HER SEATED
 BEFORE AUTO
Coroner Makes Finding of Accident in Stamford
 Death.

That he could not have avoided the fatality because 11-year-o1d Jacob Zier suddenly skated in front of his automobile was the testimony of Frank Masse, driver of the car, when he appeared before Coroner Phelan this morning. Masse said he was driving slowly on Stratford avenue, near the corner of Seaview avenue last Thursday when the accident hap pened. The coroner has completed the taking of testimony but has re- served his finding.
 In the case of Abraham Susman, nine years old, a Stamford boy, who was struck and killed by a motor truck owned by the Armour Beef Co.,. the coroner has given a finding of accidental death. It was found that the boy was riding in a toy wagon on Pacific street, Stamford, Aug. 2S. and that the wagon over turned so that the youngster was thrown under the wheels of the truck before the driver could stop.
