MEETING FOR LOCATION
OF PRIMARY ROAD
Meeting Held at Aurora Monday to
Work for State Highway for Towns
Along the Frisco.

An organization was formed last
January to work for the primary
state highway from Springfield to
Joplin along the Frisco railroad, and
the organization met at Aurora Mon
day to make plans for such location
of the highway. S. A. Chapel was
reelected chairman of the organiza-
ton, with Col. T. H. 10y, secretary.
A committee of two men from each
Commercial Club and Special Road
district along the Frisco was appoint
ed to give data and information to
the state highway commission. The
committee met and organized, elect
ing S. A. Chapel chairman and Col.
7. H. 10y, secretary.
A very enthusiastic meeting was
heeld and many fine talks were made.
1t was the opinion of the road men
that if the section wanted to get what
naturally belonged to them they
would have to do intelligent and per-
sistent work. The legislation located
the secondary roads to be built by the
bond issue of $6O,OOO,OOO but the
primary or first class roads are yet to
be designated by the highway COM
mission.
The primary road would logically
come through the towns along the
Frisco from Springfield to Joplin as
it would thus reach the center of pop
ulation of this part of the state 1t.
is true that four-ffths of the auto
mobile licenses in this district, from
which the revenue is produced, is
from this section, as compared to one
fifth in the proposed north route,
which would go through Mt. Vernon
and the smaller towns. Interstate
travellers would naturally choose to-
pass through the larger towns.
Monet, the largest and most pros
porous town between Springfield and
Joplin, has many good roads enthus-
lasts and they worked hard for the
$6O,OO0,OOO bond issue. This town
will WITHOUT doubt be on tine primary
road, and the other Frisco towns in
this district should also be reached.
The committee will prepare maps
and blue prints showing the popula-
tion, the traffic and the taxes paid by
the section named as compared with
that of other sections where it is ten
tatively proposed to have traversed
by this primary road.

RECEIVERS MISSING BICYCLE

Erven Williams, whose Ranger BIZ
cycle was taken from the porch Of his
home Sunday evening, recovered his
wheel Monday. Some Peirce City
boys having been seen near the place,
Mrs. Williams had a suspicion that
one of them had rode the wheel home,
which proved to be the case. She tele-
phoned to her cousin, Mrs. A. ]. Bud
worth, at Peirce City, to look out for
the wheel. 1t was found Monday
morning standing against Budworth's
back fence, having been out all night
in the rain. The boy evidently did
not intend to steal it, but Borrowed"
it to ride home.

When Miss Ethel returned home
about 10 o'clock she heard noise and
on investigating found that some one
had been there but escaped through
the pantry window which had been
pried open and a ladder placed be-
meath it. Even the machine drawers
had been gone through but so far on
ly a gold watch and chain of Mr.. Am
bers has been missed. The robber
had taken a revolver belonging to Mr..
Amber and placed it on the bed but in
his hurry to get away left it there.

JOPLIN LOSES
LEAGUE FRANCHISE
With Impossible Proposal Submitted
President Rosenberg Turns Over
Holdings TO Organization.

ST. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. 20.-The
Miners baseball franchise in the West
ern league passed from the hand of
the Joplin owners here today and
was absorbed by the league as body,
to be disposed of as the circuit sees
fit. President Al Tearney said tonight
that there was but little possibility
of the team being operated in Joplin.
"If we do put man in Joplin to
run the team there" Tearney said,
at will be moneyed man who will be
able to put a good club in the field
but the chance is small for Joplin"
Lincoln seems to have the prefer
ence in harboring the franchise. A
committee composed of President
Tearney, Barney Burch of Omaha and
Billy Friel of Tulsa, left tonight for
Lincoln to confer with parties there
who are interested in the purchase.
William (Pa) Rourke, dean of the
league, and Ed Hanlon, former owner
of the St. Joseph club are hot after
the ownership and the trend of talk
among the magnates is to the effect
that they probably will be the sue
ceSsful parties.
The matter of the Joplin franchise
was the first point to be taken up in
the meeting. The option which the
league holds on all clubs was exer-
cised and the Joplin owners will be
paid cash for their holdings President
Tealney would not name the price
but it is believed to be $4,000.
In addition, the league will pay
Joplin one-eight of the amount now in
the treasury and will allow the club
the money due from Seattle on LIEF"
Berger, the league paying for Short
stop Patterson, recently purchased by
the Miners.
The fine imposed upon Joplin by
Judge Landis will have to be paid by
the Miners and when all debts have
been settled, it is figured that Joplin
will have about $12,5O0 with which to
pay dividends.
Both President Nat Rosenberg and
F. E. (Bud) Belden, representing the
Miners were oathe to turn the fran
chise over, but the league put them
under such guarantee that it would
be impossible to operate and there was
nothing to do but turn over the hold
ings. Both were in the meeting
fighting to the last minute to hold on,
but it was impossible for them to
meet the demands of the other club
owners and they were literally forced
to relinqush the franchise to the
league.
Seven days was the time allowed in
which to place the club. While Lin
coin seems to be the best bet other
points will be considered, Tearney
said, including Joplin, Denver, Mus
kogee and possibly Okmulgee. No
schedule was adopted because of the
change and the league will meet later
at Excelsior Springs to adopt it.
