Campbell, Margaret Mc- Cully, Jane Cannon, Samuel Wil son and his wife, Margaret; Mrs. M. E. Wilson, David Allen and Hugh Thompson. It was during the pastorate of Rev.

It will front on Court street, the front of the structure to be of court architecture about a grassy lawn, and with a spacious porch fronting the lobby. Backing the enterprise will be a stock company,, but there will be no general sale of stock. Mr. Dean. who is to be a stockholder, proposes to lease the hotel for 15 years at a guaranteed rental of $38,000 a year. He himself will furnish it at a cost of not less than $80,000. . . The capitalisation plan proposes an authorization of $175,000 In first mortgage six per cent bonds, of which 1150,000 will be outstanding; first six per cent preferred stock of 275,000, with $200,000 out standing; and 2750 shares of common stock of no par value of which 2000 shares shall be outstanding.

"There will be no stock tales pro motion undertaken," said Mr. Pat ton, "and all of the money paid in will go directly Into the project. We are not going to have any watered stock In this enterprise." HIGH STREET TO BE CITY'S WHITE WAY Continued from Pace t) ' tlonate share fo rthe court house block and the city for the city hall property. Mayor Llveseley and the city council are strongly In favor of the project, and with the property own ers see In It great possibilities for the development of the street. The type of light Is a two-light unit on a standard, similar to tnose in front of the Elslnore theater. Two stand ards probably will be placed on the new bridge. The lighting plan, it waa said to day by Lars Bargsvik, attorney for the High street Interests, is depend ent on the construction of the open olds on the bridge at the bridge, and since the council Is to next meeting It appears that there Is nothing In the way of Immediate ly going ahead. , OFFICIALS LACK POWER TO JAIL 'KID' CRIMINALS , Eacanaba, Mich- (United Press) This city harbors two of the worlds youngest criminals. They are Harry Johnivin, t, and his brother, Merrill, 9. The police are powerless to stop their depredations and plunderings, which have caused more trouoie tnan any ouier ' gang In Escanaba's history. Under the state law governing juvenile delinquency, children un der 13 cannot be committed to f state reformatory. The two Johni vin boys have been taken Into cus tody three or four dozen times In the last 18 months, and each time have admitted their crimes. All the police could do, however, was to offer fatherly advice and send them on th?ir way again. ine oovs nave admitted setting lira to the Baptist church, which caused damage amounting to 8500. They have entered stores and homes. Not even the United States mall Is Immune to their attacks They tampered with boxes in thn postofflce after letting nossesslon of keys. -; shor. time ago the nolice were notified that a woman had her boy tico oy a cnain to tne porch of the home. Investigation revealed that It was Mrs. Johnivin and-she had cnained up her son in a last des. perate attempt to keep him out of trouble. The last time the youngsters were caught. Merrill was dressed in girl's clothes. Inquiry revealed that Mrs. Johnivin had put the garb on the boy in the hope he would be too asnamea to go far from home. But it did not deter him and he led his younger brother on an "explora tion" of business offices which worked havoc with files and furni ture.

Tribes of stoic Yanuia and May as, 3000 federal Mexican troops and many more thousands ot the peo ple ot all Mexico, were gathered to day to .meet the body of their chief tain and escort it to a final resting Place. - Funeral services, In charge of the military and as simple aa the hardy farmer ot Cajeme could wish will be held this afternoon at the little village of Huatabampo. Obregon's birth place. An added touch of tragedy to a scene already almost over-laden with evidences of grief, was the col lapse again of Senora Obregon this morning as the funeral train slowly crept Into the railroad station at Navojoa. The widowed mother of several children was Inconsolable and an American physician, Dr. V. A. Smelker of Nogales, Ariz., was called to attend her. Contrasting sharply with the streamers of black crepe draped everywhere about Navojoa, were the great banks of flowers brought by persons of every social rank and plane, as humble tokens of a re spect lasting even Into death. Off in the distance to the south the blue peaks of the Alamos moun tains framed a setting beautiful even in its sombreness. The burial of General Obregon In the broad lands bounding the Mayo river will bring him back to a final sleeping place, where, as a boy he often rested under the trees of the valley. It is the true home of the Obrgons and there at the Hacienda de Slqulslva, Alvaro was born. All around lie the vast holdings of the man who rose to the premier posi tion of his country, but was not proof against an assassin's bullets, INQUIRY CONTINUES ' Mexico City, July 31.
