LECOT PLACED
UNDER ARREST
Violates City Electrical Ordnance
Doing Work Without .
License.

Henry Lecot was arrested today
on q charge of violating city cleo
trical ordinance. He was recently
barred from United States citizen
ship. According to charges filed
by Fred Harrington, city electri-
clan, Lecot did some electrical
work. without an electricians Ii
cense. The work is also said to
be in violation Of legal specifica-
tons.
Lecot's petition for citizenship
was denied on the ground that he
claimed exemption from military
service because he is an. alien. The
moral character Of the petitioner
was also found to make him unfit
for citizenship.
Several months ago Lecot was
arrested on a charge of attempting
to bribe Mr.. Harrington. Harring-
ton was not at that time an Off
cial, by city ordinance, and the
charge was dropped. A number of
weeks ago Lecot attempted to OBJ
tain a license by inducing an cleo
trical worker to take the examina-
ton with the understanding that
Lecot would use the certificate in
his business. The man failed to
pass the examination. Lecot asked
for a continuance when arraigned
before Magistrate Gustafson this
morning. The magistrate contin-
ued the case until next Monday.
Later in the day LeCot changed
his mind and returned to the police
station, pleaded guilty to two viola
lions. He was fined total OF
$3.50.

ASSISTANTS ARE
ADDED TO FORCE
OF TREASURER

County Treasurer c. A. Friese
has added several assistants to his
Office at the court house for the
collection Of the taxes. A good
showing has already been made by
the tax payers of Mercer township
in visiting the court house. Sew
eral were waiting in the Office ear
ly this morning to pay their taxes.
On account of influenza through
out the county it is expected that
the collection of the taxes will be
somewhat hindered for a week or
so. Mr.. Friese is confident that the
system of memorandum tax books
which have been installed this year
will prove a great benefit to his
office and to the tax payers. Resi-
dents of outlying townships may
pay their taxes by applying to the
bank in their township and will
not need to make a trip to the court
house. Only Mercer county tax
payers must call at the court house
to pay their taxes.

FLU EPIDEMIC
IS IMPROVED
Substantial Decrease Noted In Last
"a Hours and Outlook Is
+. Brighter.

A substantial decrease in the
number Of new ceases of influenza
in Aledo has been noticed. Since
noon yesterday only five homes
have been placed under. quarantine,
with a total of nine new cases.
Local physicians have been work.
ing very hard to halt the spread OF
the disease and welcome decrease
in the number of cases is the re-
suit At present there are 1877
cases of influenza in Aledo, accord
ing to the city physicians report.
These are an average Of almost
two cases to a home. there being
81 Aledo residences under quaran-
tine.
Doctors OF the city have warned
the residents against leaving their
homes too soon after recovering
from the sickness. 1t is said that
nine cases out of every ten which
follow the influenza are caused by
leaving bed too soon.
Many of the pupils who are out
of the city schools are only slight
ly ill with colds and there has
been little danger of any serious
illness among them. Aledo has
been exceedingly fortunate this
year with the small number OF IA
talities caused by influenza and
pneumonia. There have been only
three deaths of pneumonia and
none at all caused by the flu.
Rumors to the effect that the
public places in the city would be
closed are without foundation. 1t
has not been thought advisable by
the city council to order such &C
ton because of the fact that the
epidemic could not be combated in
more efficient way, even by clos
ing public places. 1t is held that
those who are exposed to the dis
ease will undoubtedly be further
exposed by visiting in the homes
if the public gatherings are pro-
hibited.

PETITION FOR
JOINT SCHOOLS
Residents IN Territory Adjacent Ia
Seaton DESTROYS Of Having
Districts Consolidated.

Two petitions were filed yester-
day in the Office Of the county "a.
perintendent OF schools, requesting
elections on community high school
and consolidated school. The dis
trict around Seaton is DESTROYS Of
consolidating the school districts
for the erection Of a school. The
petition was filed by residents Of a
small territory adjacent to the
North Henderson consolidated
school district, the prayer Of which
is the alignment with the North
Henderson territory.
These petitions are almost the
last of the number in Mercer coun-
ty which can be filed. Nearly all
school districts are now included in
either community high school ter
ritory or in consolidated territory.
G. E. Plat, county superintendent
of schools, is confident that Mer-
Ger county will in the course of a
few years be one of the leading
counties in the state in the matter
of educational facilities. In the
case Of consolidated schools, a
great forward step has been taken.
When a school district is consoli-
dated with several other districts
it then becomes the obligation of
the school district to furnish trans
portation Of the children Of the dis
trict to the school and return. This
obligation will necessarily mean an
improvement in the highways Of the
county.
1t is said that many Of the resi-
dents of the county have been op-
posed to consolidated schools on
the ground that the roads of the
county have been impossible for
long periods Of the school year, but
this objection will be overcome by
the repairing Of the roads. In a
short time a great change in the
educational system throughout the
county will be noticed and it is eI-
pected that some action will be TAX
en- by Aledo to consolidate with
adjacent school districts for the
purpose Of having the new Aledo
school a center OF education for a
much larger territory than is now
planned.
