BOARD OF WORKS HEARSi APPEAL Mrs. Swicker Says Extension of Street Will Work a Hardship on Family. A pitiful appeal was heard by the board of works today from Mrs. Harmon Swicker of South J street. A ! strip of ground 570 feet long belonging to her husband who is sick in bed was condemned by the city for the opening of South Seventh street from J to L street. For the property Swicker is to receive $800. Mrs. Swicker said she was appearing before the board because her husband was confined to his bed. "We were both orphans and we have worked hard all our lives so that we would have some place to live during our old age and would not be thrown on charity. My husband is now seventy-four years old and I am seventy. He worked for our home and I took care of it. We have lived there for thirty years and it will break our hearts if we have to leave it. We are left all alone in the world and if you won't help us God may, for he is the only one left to appeal to." The board promised to take up the matter and adjust it so that it would be satisfactory to her and the city. In the opinion of the members of the boaid of works Mrs. Swicker does not understand that she is to be paid well for her land. ' Opposes More Lights. Superintendent Johnson of the municipal light plant appeared before the board to oppose the placing of more arc lights in the city. He said that this would make the pull on the light plant too heavy. "From now until March, as the days grow longer," explained Mr. Johnson, we will be strained to the limit. I want to give the people service and don't want to take on anything we cannot handle. In the last ninety days we have installed 174 meters, which shows how we are increasing business." He also said that cluster lights were not as popular as they have been. They are being removed at Indianapolls and many eastern cities. They cost so much for maintenance that they are becoming unpopular. Mr. Johnson , also reported that Amos L. Wolfe a resident of West - Seventh street had been refused a discount on his light bill be cause he did not pay before the tenth of the month. Wolf became very much enraged and reported to Johnson that Tried GETS-IT, The New Corn Cure, Yet? 1 1 " See How Easy It Drives Away Corns. "GETS-IT Will 'Get' Every Corn You've Got!" , At last, a real does-what-it-says corn cure. Nothing like it has ever before been known. Every man and woman who has corns, callouses, warts or bunions, ought to try "Gets-It" at once and see how marvelously it works. Quit shaving your corn with a razor. You may draw blood and cause blood poisoning. " "GETS-IT" Is remarkable because It never Irritates or turns the true flesh sore or raw. It can't It is as safe as vater. Stockings won't stick to it. Corn pains stop. The corn or callous shrivels up, comes out. Blessed relief! "GETS-IT" is sold at druggists at 25 cents a bottle, or sent on receipt of price to E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago.

two of the companies poles were on his property and that if they were not removed he would cut them down. City Engineer Charles was ordered to investigate. Park Fund Exhausted. City Clerk Bescher told the board that council must make an appropriation for the public parks. The expense of cleaning the lake at Glen Miller is one reason why the appropriation is necessary. As a result of the many complaints sent in from the neighborhood of Liberty avenue at the intersection of L street, Mayor Zimmerman ordered Street Commissioner Genn to have the crossing cleaned at once. The board promised the committee In charge of the charity ball to be held at the Coliseum December 4 that the municipal plant would furnish the light free. Bids to re-roof the old hose house at South Sixth and E streets were rejceived from Peter Johnson and Schultz and Laning. The contract was not awarded pending a closer inspection of the present roof. It will be necessary to tear down the roof and build a new one. The board will investigate the advisability of having the roof removed by an employe of the city. To Sell Lots. Levi Peacock reported that he had seven lots which he would like to have the city purchase and add to the West Side park on Northwest Seventh street. The board favored the purchase of i the lots provided they are not valued too high. One of the city officials said they were worth approximately $50 per lit. The five per cent reserves amounting to $51.31 on the Washington avenue sidewalk improvement and the cement alley between Twelfth and Thirteenth street from A to B streets were ordered returned to the contractors. The assessment role for bricking Main street from the bridge to West Fifth street was confirmed by the board. Mayor Zimmerman reported that all the residents on the west side were satisfied with the street. The cost to the property holders is $5,512.29, to the city $4,240. Fire Chief Miller reported that the wood belonging to the city was being stolen from the Doran bridge. He applied for a portion of the wood to make repairs about the fire house. City Controller McMahan reported that it would not be advisable to construct the sewer from South H to J. street. He reported that the city would run short of funds.

Others charge you $5.00 to $10.00 more on the same garments, and it's no trouble to prove it. Drop in today, tonight any old time, just to look through. It will do you good.

FORCE WITH WHICH TRAINS CAME TOGETHER IN

HOUSEWIVES FAVOR BOTCHERS' RULING Say Butchers Are Entitled to Their Sunday Rest and Will Co-operate. A careful canvass of the butcher shops of the city made today showed that all proprietors were well pleased with the Sunday closing rule adopted recently. Butchers today asked housewives living in all parts of the city what they thought of the rule. The concensus was that they are1 satisfied with the closing of the shops on Sunday. Housewives told the butchers that they were willing to co-operate . with them on the Sunday closing proposition. They based their opinion on the principle that the butchers are entitled to the Sunday's rest. The rumor, which butchers say gained deplorable publicity, that they themselves were dissatisfied with the Sunday closing rule, was declared unfounded. The butchers are one in favoring the closing of their shops on Sunday.

At one corner of the church were the numerals 1887 1912 done in white flowers with a background of cedar. The effect was very beautiful and added much to the exquisiteness of the decorative motif. The program arranged for the occasion was a most excellent one. A beautiful reading entitled "God's Hand Is Moving On," was given by Mrs. William Romey.

FRED SAYLOR HELD FOR EMBEZZLEMENT Union Labor Advocate Arrested at Indianapolis on a Serious Charge. Fred Saylor, treasurer of the Indianapolis painters' council, who attempted to interest local painters to organize in a union, at the time the State Federation of Labor held its annual convention here in September, was arrested yesterday at Indianapolis it being believed that Saylor is Edward B. Wolf, wanted by the Pittsburg police for embezzling a large sum of money from the painters' council there while acting as treasurer. Saylor or Wolf was here during the entire labor convention and discussed the advantages of belonging to a painters' union. He urged the local painters to organize and secure a charter. Wolf was treasurer of the painters' council in Pittsburg in 1903. He disappeared with all of the money of the council, including a' few dollars given by members as benefits to be used In case of sickness. Shortly after this incident a man giving his. -name as Fred Saylor joined the painters' council in Indianapoi lis, and soon had the friendship and trust of the members. He worked I himself to the point where he was chosen treasurer. Recently some of the members of the council, it is said, suspected his integrity. A few days ago it became known that he had withdrawn $1,000 from one of the banks to transfer it to another- bank and had failed to make the deposit. The incident was reported to the police.

( Because the many students of the high school believe they can do jus tice to their school work in a shorter space of time than from 8:30 a. m. until 3:15 p. m. and 4 p. m.. a petition for shorter hours was circulated today by the students, and will be presented to tb school board at Its next session. ) Students say many boys and girls are unable to attend the sessions of high school because they are forced to help sustain themselves.) The leaders In the movement said that many of the mothers who have daughters in the school need their help at home and would be glad If the school board shortened the hours. The proposed change is to hare theschool take up at 8 a. m. and continue without Interruption until all classes have been heard. This would close school at 12:30. If the board does sofa act favorably on' the petition, the pupils will ask that a lunch be served in the school and that the dinner hour, be shortened from an hour and a half to a half hourThe latter plan is being carried out In Dayton, Indianapolis,' Piqua and many other cities in the Middle West. Many of the teachers have been interviewed by the students about the proposed change, and all who were, seen approved the change.
