GROUNDS IS GROWING
people Demand Parks at Mt Tabor,

' a t ma pepaaiataat,
' Unless the proposition to purchM Haw
thorn Park from the city la eoupled vita
a scheme for a general park system, the
greater part of the aat side will ra-
. ruse to . sanction ' tho purchase. This
,. ,waa road avldent from a oanvaaa of tha
situation on tha east aide made vaster
day for tho purpoae of discovering sen
tiraeot on tha subject. Tha central
east aide, la which Hawthorn Park Ilea,
wants tho city to purphaaa the paxk,
' but the euburbe maintain that, they
- ahould bar recreation faclllues of their
own. . . .:- lf.
The East Side Improvement assoela
tlon haa appointed a committee to brine
; the question of the purchaae of tho park
before the council. ' s Other east aide
civic "Improvement clubs will take the
matter up for discussion. The eongr-
. cation at tho lnterdenomtnatlonat senr
lcea held last Sunday evening ananl-
moualy adopted resolutions favoring the
city acquiring the park. It Is pointed
out that it la the laet tract of land in
, that portion of the . city that haa not
betn cut into lots and Is therefore the
only available park site, j .'- .
There is a disposition . on ' the " part
of tho people of Montavllla and the
. extreme eaatern portion of the olty to
combine the purchase of of this, prop-
" erty with that of thft ,top,-of ..ilfount
Tabor and .submit both propoaitlonS ta
the" people-for aatlflcatlon at the elec
tion next June. In a recent interview,
Mayor Lane advanced the idea that the
.highest point at Mount Tabor ought to
. bo secured for park purposes.
It la not unlikely that any scheme to
-acquire Additional park sites, that doea
not provide for all parts of lhsclty
alike,' will ' meet with spirited opposi
tion. Councilman Vaughn of tha tenth
ward, says that he favors more parks.

The reason the East Sid High school

tify the expectations that It will bs

anown. work on ths six-room addition
to the Sunnyslds school was almost at a
standstill during last week. No lumber
of any kind waa to be had. Ths con
tractors complain that the -mill men
refuse to deliver small orders, preferring
to furnish carroaMri(menta. If all nec
essary material Is furnished promptly
this addition may be finished by. th
opening or school in (September.. Jxrt It

The grading work oa Hayea street, Bt
Johns, hss been stopped In sbedlenc to
a temporary Injunction granted by the
circuit court and It Is, thought now that
the, injunction -will be made permanent
wnen tne auit comes to trial. The indi
cations are that the Improvement ordi
nance for thla street passed by the St
Johns council will, be completely Invali
dated on account, of an irregular pro
ceeding on the 'part of the council. The
contractor had done about $1,809 worth
of work Cn the street, which will prob
ably have to be paid for by the council,
and the abutting proner'ty-holder will
be that much ahead. When the Injunc
tion waa applied for stopping work on
this street no indemnity bond waa filed,
hence the Injunction was not taken seri
ously by the St. Johns officiate. It la
probable that the entire proceeding will
have to be gone through with again, a
new ordinance pasaed. a new advertise
ment for bid and a -new survey by th
city engineer... ;-;" ""':. ' '

a treat, where they crawled out of the
water, weak and chilled from the ex

Miller says that at least six row-

them and made no response to ' their

tBy the- arrest of J. B. Spencer last

that tbe highwayman responalble for a
aeries of saloon holdup In this olty haa

days exit bad not been able to gather any
tangible - evidence , that would ' convict
him with' the aaloon robberlea, . Laat

Upon thla statement a charge of having

It Is the opinion of the detectives that
th prisoner la a notorious burglar and
an effort will be made to ascertain his
history. All of those saloonmen who
have been robbed wlll visit the station
today to allow them aa opportunity of
Identifying , th man. Th tact that
Spencer is of light skin and tha high
wayman has' been described a aa
Italian does not greatly worry th de
tectlvee. aa they have held all, along
that the crook disguised himself by ap
plying a chemical a tain to his face and
hands and spesklnai with anJtaJlaa ac-1
cent. Their theory is borne out by th
fact that in the last holdup th robber.
although corresponding in every detail
to the perpetrator of the former Crimea,
was light-skinned and there waa noth
