J. M'NAMARA'S WHEREABOUTS

Express and Delivery Vehicles, Officials Decide, Can Now Stand Only in Court House Square.

EXPECT A PROTEST OVER THIS ACTION Colonial Building Tenants Say These Wagons Are ' Big Nuisance An Ordinance Will Be Prepared. A crisis was reached in the nuisance of wagons standing on the prominent business streets, when at a meeting of the board of works this morning the city attorney was ordered to drawtip an ordinance making it unlawful for wagons or drays to stand on the streets excepting on South Fourth street, from the court houso entrance to South A street; on South A from Third to Fourth and from South Third and A to Third and Main streets. Last week a petition from South Seventh street business men. principally tenants of the Colonial building, was put before tho board demanding that tho numerous wagons which stood on this street bo removed immediately. It set forth that they were a nuisance, and were blockading the street. This morning, E.' M. Campfleld. owner of tho Colonial building, was before the board with the demand that somo action bo taken at once.' Mr. Campfleld said, first of all, that he did not wish to go to court with the matter, where, he was certain he could secure an injunction to prohibit tho wagons from the use of the Btreets. Ho quoted several supreme court decisions which held that wagons could not stand on the streets while waiting for business, as he alleges those on South Seventh do. It was shown to the board that the wagons, which include express, merchant delivery and drayB attract an undesirable class of men. Loafers Are Attracted. - Some of them, according to Campfleld, are drunk most of the time, and their language Is oftimes vulgar. He ttald many women passed down this thorougfaro to patronize a millinery store In the Coloulat building. Tho city was warned that damage suits may result if runaway accidents reult In the crowded streets. Several months ago tho wagons were removed .from Sixth and Main because the property owners and businea men objected. A year ago the wagons were ordered off of the north corners of Seventh and Main. Mr. Campfleld says all of them came to the south corners. According to the city ordinance one wagon may stand on each of the four corners of Ninth and Main, one wagon on each of the northwest and northcast corners of Seventh and Main, three wagons on each of the northcast and northwest corners of Sixth and Main and one wagon on each or the southeast and southwest corners of Tenth and Main streets. Mayor Zimmerman declared for open streets. There is said to be but Jlttlo doubt that thero will bo a big protest when the wagons are ordered to tho court house square but tho Mayor says, "let 'em howl." The ordinance will be presented to council ttt the first meeting In May. ARREST AMERICANS AS MILITARY SPIES (American News Service) Tokio. April 24.

COASTS INTO AUTO

GETS AJW BRUISES Young Moorman Lamb Kept Presence of Mind and Rolls Under the Car. As Moorman, the nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Galen Lamb, 1133 Main street, rode his wheel down the driveway of their home onto Main street Sunday morning, he lost control of the bicycle and was struck by a heavy touring car, driven by A. Adams of Indianapolis, and dragged twenty or more feet before the machine could be stopped. He was not seriously hurt. His mother who was sitting at one of the front windows, was a witness to the accident, and so certain was she that he was seriously hurt that she swooned. The boy's escape was miraculous and largely due to his own presence of mind. His worst injury was a painful bruise on the knee and others about the body of a less serious nature. The boy crawled from under the machine and was assisted to his home by eye witnesses to the accident. The condition of Mrs. Lamb was such as to require- the attention of a physician. While still in a nervous condition Monday, she was much improved and her son's injuries have deve;oied into nothing more serious than bruises. A Miraculous Escape. A. C. Adams and party were enroute east but afler the accident remained in the city and visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lamb several times during the day. They considered the accident fortunate and the boy's escape most miraculous. The lad. who is well known in the city had mounted his wheel on the cement driveway. In crossing the sidewalk, be noticed the approaching machine and attempted to stop, but his coasterbrake broke and he could not turn quickly enough to avoid being struck. He was thrown to the pavement and displaying wonderful presence of mind succeeded in getting between the wheels of the heavy car, but his shoe caught in the brake and he was dragged until the car could be stopped, possibly a distance of twenty feet. Several, including the members of the automobile party hastened to his assistance. The wheel was irrepairably damaged. The automobile was not being propelled at great speed, ""although running rapidly. It was impossible for Mr. Adams to turn toward the middle of the street to avoid striking1 the boy. All Mr. Aifams could do was to ishut oil the power aad put on L&e Lrales.
