Sergeant Smith stated ha had warned

two women and two men In the cafe. Be
for each was a drink. Boyaen declared

had collected from other tables. Pa
trolman Frank Patton, testifying for

Sightly tracts of acreage located In

which the boajd has under consideration
la a 40 acre. tract bounded by Bast
Twenty-fourth, Eaat Thirtieth and East

The property la composed of a num

It Is understood that the 40 aores
can be had for about $280,000, but If
th Burrell property becomes a part of
the site the cost would largely exceed
this sum. That portion of the aite
owned by the Hawthorne estate Is val
ued at $60,000, and other portions of the
tract are valued by the various owners i
at about the same rate. i I
