THE BIRMINGHAM GE-HERALD. TUESDAY OCTOBER "a 1e2
ROADS CONSIDER
24TH ST. VIADUCT
L. & N. President Writes
Meeting Will Be Held
In Few Days

Executives of the railroads involved
in Birmingham's grade crossing war
will meet soon to act on the city COM
missions proposition to pay Is per cent
Of the cost if the work is begun imme-
diately on a viaduct at Twenty-fourth
street, President McLendon was in
formed in letter Monday from w. L.
Mapother, president of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad.
The city wrote the railroad chiefs that
it saw no reason why the Twenty-fourth
street span should be included in the le-
gal fight over the underpass plans at
other crossings, since all parties to the
controversy had agreed that viaduct
should be placed there. The carriers
were given two weeks to reach deci-
sion, but in view of Mapother's letter,
McLendon said the commissions propo-
sition would be held open short while
longer.
Meanwhile, the commission at its
meeting next Tuesday will enact ordi-
nances requiring the railroads to build
underpasses at Fourteenth, Eighteenth
end Twentieth streets, with the provi-
sion that work On the two last named
underpasses shall be sarted within 80
days.
President Mapother's letter follows:
Referring to your favor of September
20, relative to proposed construction of
viaduct at Twenty-fourth street, Biz
mingham, in which you advised that
response of the railroads should be sub
mitted not later than October 10:
sit is my desire to advise you fully
as soon as possible, but the subject will
have to be jointly considered by the
lines concerned and understand you
have been apprised of the absence of
Mr.. W. L. Stanley, vice president of
the Seaboard Air Line railway, which
will necessitate some delay"

LAST OBSTACLE
FALLS FROM PATH
OF PERFECT LOVE
Mayor Hart Now Free To
Marry Mrs. Hail.
Guest
tBy Associated Press)

CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.-Frederich
William Hart, former major in the Brit
ish army, was free tonight to marry
Mrs. Shirley Knox Hail-Quest, divorced
wife of DR.. Alfred Lawrence Hall Quest
dean of the extension department of the
University of Pittsburg, in the realm
of perfect love-"
Mrs. Rosamond Hart of Cincinnati
was granted a divorce from her husband
here today just seven days after Mrs
Hall Quest was released by her husband
that she might continue her association
with Hart. DIR. Hall-Quest was granted
his divorce in Chicago where he made
every effort to conceal from the light of
publicity the name of his wife's asso-
ciate.
For Extreme Cruelty"
The hearing was brief. Judge Charles
T.. Hoffman granted Hart a divorce on
tie ground of extreme cruelty. He APP
proved contract entered into by Hart
whereby Mrs. Hart received 5000 in
cash and a monthly allowance of $500
during the remainder of her life. She
likewise was given possession of furni-
ture and effects located in the Hart
apartment here which adjoined that for
Emerly occupied by the Hall-Quests. This
contract will automatically become void
should Mrs. Hart marry again.
Hart was not in court. He left Chi
ego Sunday night ostensibly for Cincin-
natl. Judge Hoffman said although he
had granted the divorce he would not
put on the formal decree until tomorrow.
Other Women Named
During the hearing the name of Mrs.
Hall Quest was frequently mentioned as
the "ther woman" in the usual triangle.
Walter Locke, attorney for Mrs. Hart
took the stand and told of a converse
ton he had with Mr.. Hart.
He was discussing what he was able
to do for Mrs. Harris support" he said.
HE admitted to me he was living in
Chicago with Mrs. Hall-Quest. He said
he would live with her whether he was
divorced or not. asked him whether
there was not some way that he and
Mrs. Hart could be reconciled."
Absolutely not he said. II never
again would live with Mrs. Hart"

SATISFACTORY
TO sKETCHUM'

DIRMINGHASi'S famous burglar
kKant Ketchum" viii not rob
any more homes for at least 40
years.
Kant Ketchuni, who gave the
name of John Watson, MlO Third
avenue, north when arrested several
weeks ago, pleaded guilty to four
burglary indictments before Judge
Fort Monday and was sentenced
to serve from 10 to 20 years in the
state penitentiary on each count.
The thief created an atmosphere
of romance around mis- depredations
for over two years, in which he
eluded capture, by the fact that he
stole nothing but money and also
because he would rob several houses
in one night. "
In court Monday, the negro stated
he always held a job during the DAY
and would not start out on his rob.
berry expeditions until midnight and
in this way, managed to avert
suspicion. He was finally captured
by police, when he started to take
jeweiry, which was later traced to
him. So extensive were his crimes
that he failed to identify a large
number of the homes, which Is
he said to have robbed.
In explanation, Watson asserted
that the houses looked different in
the night. A touch of humor was
added to the scene in court room
when Watson asserted that the SEN
tence wes satisfactory" when Judge
Fort asked him If he mad anything
