The board OF health will tackle
this request at once.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT-I wish you
would stir up the engineering de-

the following petitions.
In June, 1924, I presented a Pc
tition to the board of works pro-
viding for sidewalks and curbing on
Beechwood Ave, between Airing
ton and Sheridan AYES, and the
same improvements on Sheridan
Ave, from Rawles Ave. to Ivan
hoe st. In December, 1924, the
board Of works ordered engineers to
draw up plans for these two streets,
and as far as | can now find out
they are still in the engineers Of

About six weeks ago l also pre-

the streets are now open at the
tracks, so that we might have a

whereas we are now blocked off on
the north, as you can note on a
diagram map Of the city streets.
A READER.
There are number of reasons
why these improvements have
been delayed, Mr.. Fixit learned.
One of the most important is the
action Of individual members OF
the board Of works in insisting
that petitions Of friends be acted
upon first.
Another cause is the failure of
city council to authorize transfer
of funds to pay inspectors for
street Improvements and to employ
draughtsmen necessary. Only one
draughtsman is available now.
Hundreds of petitions are suffer.

FOR SLAYER OF
W.C.T.U.LE
Vinton, Iowa, Aroused to
Heights by Killing of
Crusader.

BIZ United Press
VINTON, Iowa, Sept. 9.-Citizens
of this little county seat are so
aroused over the assassination of
Mrs. C. B. Cook, Al. president of the
county chapter of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, pre-
sumably by some bootlegger whose
activities she had curtailed. that po-
lice today decided to veil their in
vestigation of the murder in closest
secrecy.
Talk of lynching Mrs. Cooks as
sassin, should he he found, was
heard on every street corner where
the citizens formed in little groups
to discuss the most spectacular
tragedy the town has ever known.
Union Seeks Killer
The w. C. T. u. issued a state.
ment declaring their dead leader had
given her life for the cause of
temperance and that unless the law
found the guilty party the union
would consider taking the search into
it's own hands.
Mrs. Cook. terror Of rum run
ners," was shot to death as she sat
in the window OF her home Monday
night.
Mrs. Cook was so active in hei
crusading against the Illicit liquor
traffic in this section Of Iowa tha'
police are at a loss to know JUS
what individual bootlegger or run
runner she offended most.
Had Many Enemies
She often issued public statements
denouncing public officials for laxity
in the enfoI cement OF the prohibition
law and shortly before her assassina
ton had announced her intention o.
taking a list Of violators before the
county grand jury and demanding in
dictments.
The coroner's inquest has brough
out that Mrs. Cook had numerous
enemies in the Illicit liquor business
and that undoubtedly anyone Of ;
half a dozen men in Benton Count!
would be glad to have her out o
the way and that an open attack wal
made on her once before.

M'NAMARA IS
OUT ON BOND
Iron Workers. Agent Faces
BIackmaiI Charge.

John ]. Mcnamara, business agent
Of the local iron workers union, and
long a storm center in labor circles
here, is at liberty today under $500
bond after having been arrested on
blackmail charge. He gave him
self UP at the sheriff's office.
Mcnamara, who sprung into ma
wide notoriety when the Los
Angeles Times Bldg, was bombed in
1910 and twenty-one people died, in
labor war. is accused this time Of
threatening workmen at the Fletcher
Savings & Trust Company Bldg.
The county grand jury returned the
indictment Tuesday. The indictment
says Mcnamara used threats to try
to cause employment OF iron work
ers instead of union carpenters to
do some work.
The labor leader goes to trial Mon
day on similar charges of black
mail resulting from labor trouble and
alleged threats made at the new Elks
Home and other places in 1924. Hen

the two suggestions entailed con-
siderations Of three elements; when

would decide to use part of the
Shortridge buildings as administra-
ton buildings.
Jacob Hilkene, superintendent of
buildings and grounds, agreed with
Harrison that he might effect a saw

Minority Faction Adopts Mo-
ton of DR.. Marie
HaSIep.

The business of managing Indian
apolis high school cafeterias, which
feed thousands of students, will be
taken over by William H. Book,
business director, and the Indian
apolis school board instead of being
de LOCATED to high school principals.
The school board minority faction,
DIR. Marie Haslep and Adolph En-
hardt, with only a quorum Of three
members present, put over the issue
Tuesdas night.
Barry Objects
In spite of objection by Charles L.
Barry, who was acting as Loard

tianary," DR.. IIaslep's motion carried

than at another" Joined in Emhardt.
'%Why, they tell me the children
won't eat at some of the cafeteriIs
because they get food that is warmed
over too often. There must be bad
management somewhere.
To Work Out Plan
The board appointed Book and DIR.
Haslep as a committee to work out
plan whereby the cafeterias might
be managed by the board directly,
IN accordance with DIR. Haslep's mo-
ton. Barry pointed out that the
board might not be lawfully entitled
TO go into the restaurant business,
and that if it did, a large force of
clerks would be necessary to take
care of the accounts.
The cafeterias at Shortridge, Man
ual Training and Technical High
Schools are managed by school prin-
cipals, assisted in many cases by
teachers and students.

The proposed law Is an enactment
of provisions Of article 27, and is
couched in terms which are regarded
by American oil interests as giving
the article that retroactive effect
against which the United States has
protested. The only possible market
for American holdings would be to
Mexican citizens, inevitably reducing
the holdings to a fraction Of their
actual value; while application Of 100
per cent Mexicanization along the bor.
der zones would conceivably wipe
out such vast American interests as
the Cerritos and the Cananea Con
