"Th*> story in the news last week
in regard to the criminal proce-
durebill, council bill No. 107, hav-
ing never been the law of Oklaho-
ma, was full of fact
'We put the original bill, as on
file in the secretary of state's
office, before the court as evi
dence, we put the files and decis-
ions on *he Queenan case in evi-
dence,and could have even put
other evidence before the court
had it not been that to do so would
have had to betray the confidence
of those who hepled us to gather
the truth.
"1 have run the matter down and
we nave no law for criminal proce-
dure except the common law,and it
has not been followed.
After repeted failures Granite's
hopes of a water and light plant
are now about to be realized.
The bonds were signed at the
council meeting Tuesday night and
will immediately be delivered to
the Columbia Bank and Trust Com-
pany, where the money for their
purchase is now on deposit,
Mr. Barbour, one of the contrac-
tors, stated to the Enterprise that
the material and machinery had
been ordered, and that the firm
was only waiting for the bonds to
be delivered when 'he work will
be pushed to completion with all
haste possible as the firm is under
heavy bond to have the plants in
operation in Feb., 1 and they have
no time to loose. Mr. Barbour
was before the council at its meet-
ing Tuesday night with plans and
specifications of the plants and ex-
plained them to the councilmen

Mayors Hold Big fleeting.
It a thousand or so American
Mayors do not have in their posess-
ion by October, 9th, the latest and
best ideas on how to run cities, it
will not be the fault of the St.
Louis Centennial Association and
the Civic League of St. Louis.
The former has arranged to bring
together and entertain at least
this number of chief executives of
municipalities of the United States
during the week that the one hun-
dredth anniversary of the incorpor-
ation of St. Louis will be celebrat-
ed, beginning October, 3rd, and the
latter has seized upon the opportu-
nity afforded to have the visitors
join in a great conference or ser-
ies of conferences on problems of
city government.
Three thousand invitations are
being sent out for this feature of
the Centennial celebration, and al-
though it is feared that not more
than one mayor in three, whose
presence is requested, will be able
to accept, the gathering neverthe-
less, it wil be the most notable of
its kind ever held. It is doubtful
that half as many city rulers as
will attend have ever me together.
Fully appreciating the honor
which be conferred upon St. Louis
by this assemblage the Centennial
Association and its co-workers are
making every effort to provide up-
popriate entertainment and the
wives and daughters of the visitors
will be especially cared for. The
week will be a busy one for the
mayors and those who accompany
them, from the day of their arriv-
al, Monday, October 4th, until
their departure, six days later.
For them it will begin with a re-
ception and a luncheon the first
day and will include a banquet, at-
tendance at the Veiled Prophet
Fall and facilities to see all of the
other chief events of the celebra-
tion. Among these will be grand
pageants daily, and great balloon,
airship and aeroplane races.
The reception Monday will be
held at the citv hall by Mayor
Frederick H. Kreisman, who is
president of the Centennial Asso-
ciation. Immediately following,
at 12:30 p. m., a luncheon will be
niven at Hotel Jefferson by the
Civic League, and other noted vis-
itiors who may have arrived will
be asked to attend. After the lun-
cheon an important conference will
be held at which the principal top-
ic of discussion will be the "Com-
mission" form of municipal gov-
ernment. It is expected that talks
will be made by mayors of cities
in which the plan already is in op-
eration. Notable among which
are Pes Moines, Iowa; Galveston,
Texas; and opponents of the plan
will also speak. The advisability
of other formal conference is un-
der consideration by the officers
of the Leageu. It is probably at
least one more, Tuesday afternoon,
on subjects to be selectedwill bear-
ranged.
An invitation to and souvenir of jcarry three passengers and the
the Veiled Prophet Ball wil! be! distance of more than 400 n,lles wlu
presented to each mayor who ac-
cepts the invitaion to attend the
Centennial celebration. The ball,
Tuesday evening, will be held this
year in the beautiful new colis-
eum, instead of the Merchants Ex-
change, permitting a larger and
moie comfortable attendance than
ever heretofore.
The Business Men's League, the
chief organization of business men
in St. Louis, and one of the strong-
est bodies of its kind in the Unit-
ed States, will be host Wednesday
evening at the Coliseum at what
will be known as the "American
Mayors banquet,"at which the vis-
iting mayors and their wives and
other prominent guests to the
number of 2,200 are expected to be
present. Many other elaborate
events of public nature and free to
all will till out the week.
The Centennial Associatioon has
seemed reduced railroad rates
from virtually all parts of the Un-
ited States, including the Pacific
Coast, for Centennial Week.
Prison Doors to be Opened.
"The prison doors must and will
be opened and a new start made by
the state. An extra session of the
legislature should be convened soon
to ena?t the code of laws as now
beit*r prepared by our codifying
committee."
So says I. N. Terrill. who has re-
turned from Guthrie where he pre-
sented before the criminal court of
appelas. his brief in Lydia Hol-
lands habeas corpus action.
How One F^nlly on Outskirts of Na-
tional Capital Makes Professional
Wanderers Work f>r Their
Board and Lodging.
Washington.—Solving either the
servant problem or the tramp problem
has proved too big an undertaking for
the sociologists, in fact, many aim-
chair professors and practical charity
workers have spent time on both
without much affecting either. Yet
members of a family residing on the
outskirts of Washington have solved
both problems at ones, considerably
to their satisfaction.
The persons in question are located
a little outside or this city on the
pike leading to ttaltimore. They are
quiet and unassuming people. There
are a good many tramps on that road.
There is an annual migration of them
south, as the winter sets in, and a
return of the ariny in the spring, when
they go as far as New York, get a
job, perhaps, and live till cold weath-
er and then drift back south. Some
of the men are temporarily unem-
ployed. Others are chronically out
of work. Some of them drink a little,
most of them drink a good deal; but
they all want to eat occasionally, and
that is where the suburbanites re-
ferred to get their servants.
The man and his wife residing on
the pike do not keep a servant, but
they nearly always have one. It hap
pens this way: They used to be wor-
ried a great deal by tramps appear-
ing at the back door for a hand-out.
attendance who most enthusiastic-
ally expressed themselves as thor-
oughly satisfied with the deal
made by the council in the matter
and left the hall feeling that one
of their brightest hopes was in a
fair way to being realized.
Councilmen Alexander and Van-
Dyke left Wednesday afternoon for
Guthrie with the bonds in charge
in order to have them recorded in
the office of the sercetary of state
after which they will be delivered
to the purchasers and the work of
construction will be promptly be-
gun. The supervising engineer,
Mr. Kennedy, will arrive some time
the coming week and begin the
preliminary work in order to fac-
ilitate matters.
The Majestic Airdome has been
having good crowds. The church
every night has cut their business
off conisderable but the shows are
doing much better this week.

HAIR CAUGHT BY AN AIRSHIP
Young Lady's Tresses Shorn Just in
Nick of Time to Save Her from
Injury.
Asburv Park. N. J.—The friends of
Miss Helen Bull, a young woman who
lives in Garwood, noticed when she ar-
rived here that her hair was cut short.
She explained that it had been been
shorn hastily to sa*e her from Injury
by a wild airship.
Miss Bull's father has been Interest-
ed in aeroplane discoveries. He con-
structed a model about four feet wicte
by two feet long, equipped with an
electric motor.
Several days aim Mr. Bull gathered
his family around him In the dining
room, poised the aeroplane on the top
of a book case, gave It a shove and
a twist and let It fly The next In
stant Miss Bull screamed and clasped
her hands to her head. The whirling
rudder of the aeroplane had caught in
her psyche knot, as the machine
swooped. Every revolution of the
aluminum screw gripped her hair
tighter Mr Bull seized a knife and
slashed his daughter's tresses free of
the machine just in time to save her
from serious
something to eat If he was really
hungry, and they figured that if he
was hungry he was willing to work
for a meal. So they made a rule of
making him an offer of a supper if he
would work it out chopping wood,
pumping water or doing some odd job
around the house. Some of the tramps
wanted to sleep in the barn all night
and work for their breakfast next
morning. They were accommodated
to that extent, too, but the man and
his wife were afraid they would set
Are to the barn smoking, and finally
they decided to fix up a tramp's roorr
in the basement. They put in a co*
a small looking glass and even a razoi
and washstand. They had to pick the
applicants they admitted to the Iran
sient roof over night.
But they did not make any mis-
takes, and presumably the fame of
this roadside rest house spread among
the tramp fraternity, for they got
more and more applicants for
night's lodging. Some of the tramps
wanted to stay and work several days
In fact, there was one very good man
who could turn his hand to almost
anything, who stayed for five months.
They paid him a small wage in addi
tion to his board and lodging, and
found that he was a good cook
addition to his other accomplish-
ments. The woman of the house said
she never had an easier time since
she began housekeeping.
There have been all sorts of spec!
mens among these tramp workmen
Some of them are confessedly tramps,
and said they only wanted a night's
rest and a meal to help them on the
road. Some of them said they were
out of work, and many really were.
More than one of the visitors has
made a return visit, going to New
York or coming from there, and re
galed the suburbanites with tales of
the road {ind experiences of the tin
der side of life. Several of the work-
men, those who have stayed several
days or longer, have written from
points like New Orleans or Richmond
and promised to stop on their next
trip.
One thing that has struck the host9
is that the majority of the tramps are
willing to give a good return in work
for their meals and lodging, and near-
ly all of them, contrary to the popu-
lar conception, were glad of a chance
at the razor and washstand, and
turned out in the morning looking a
good deal better than when they
stopped at night.

Millionaire Doesn't Care for Expensea
and Changes Residence Site for
Better View.
Waukegan, 111.—That Joseph Medill
Patterson, the Chicago millionaire,
who owns a palatial home south of
Libertyville, doesn't care for expensea
when it comes to satisfying his wishes
has just come out, the incident occur-
ring when work was started on his
mansion, which is now completed.
Patterson bought a large tract of
land south of Libertyville and had an
architect and lanscaper start work on
laying out his home.
Plans for the house were accepted
and the contract let, and work ordered
started.
One day, after work on the founda-
tion was well started, Patterson hap-
pened to drive out to his place.
Driving down the main road leading
south of Libertyville, Patterson saw
his house rising on a beautiful site,
facing the main road^ in accordance
with the plans of the architect and
landscaper, who had ordered it built
there.
"Here, that isn't where I want my
house built. I want it over there a half
mile, facing that other road, running
east and west. Dig it up and take the
house over there.
And the architect did as ordered. He
had the foundation taken up and the
house was restored on the side roa£,
on a spot which, to some people, is far
inferior to the one where the architect
and landscaper planned erecting it
But on the new spot the building went
up, and now is one of the show places
of the locality.
The change in location cost thou-
sands of dollars in general rearrange-
ment of details, etc., but Patterson \
was satisfied, and that was all to be
considered.
