COMPANY SAYS ITS A PLAIIPHOLDUP" C. & O. Officials Claim North 3rd Street Property Owners Boost Price.

NUMBER OF PETITIONS Residents of S. 10th Street Want Improvement From C to E Streets. C. and O. railroad officials today announced to the board of works through a letter that persons owning property j along North Third street near the C. and O. depot were trying to "hold up" the railroad company in the price of ( the property which the company and the city Intends to purchase for the purpose of widening North Third street from the depot to North D street. No action was taken on the matter this morning. . City Engineer Charles stated today that it may be necessary for the city to condemn the property which is desired for the improvement in order to appraise the property at its proper valuation. The C. and O. officials state that it Is customary for some people, when a railroad wants to buy property, to ix the price at such high figures that it is almost impossible to buy the property. This, the company claims, is what the property owners fire trying to do in the North Third street matter. As other matters took the time of the board this morning, the matter was deferred until later. As the present narrow width of the street endangers traffic at that point, the improvement is deemed absolutely necessary by the board. Yencer Remonstrates. A letter of remonstrance was received by the board from Dr. M. W. Yencer who claims that he did not have opportunity to sign the remonstrance against the proposed improvement of the first alley north of Main street from North Thirteenth street to North 'Fourteenth street. As Dr. Yencer is j assessable for the improvement be cause of the 150 foot improvement law, he believes that he should have the right to remonstrate. City Attorney 'Gardner stated that he is not entitled 'to remonstrate. There are now four petitioners and three remonstratos and the alley will probably be con'structed. Eighteen resident property owners today petitioned the board for the improvement of South Tenth street from South C to South E street. As the city engineer's estimates for improvements exceed the appropriation, the petition was not allowed. The plans will be made by the city engineer however, and an estimate made. If some other improvement is not made, it is probable that the petition will be allowed. Resolution Rescinded. The resolution for a sanitary sewer in the alley between Crosshall and Green streets from School street to the first alley south of Grant street was today rescinded by the board as the law does not allow an improvement in a street or alley which has 'not been formally opened at the time jof the improvement. Another resolution was made and the alley will be opened soon so that the work can be .started. New plans will be made as jsome change in the route of the proposed sewer may be necessary. The petition for the paving of Neff street was temporarily laid aside by the board as no funds are available for the city's share of the cost. The petition was presented by Miller 'Brothers Hardware company and J. H. Menke, who own the adjoining , property. Little Girl Cured of an Awful Cold. "Two years ago our little girl had an awful cold that settled on her lungs," Bays Mrs. Wm. Galbraith, Hamburg, N Y. "We were greatly worried about her condition. She had a persistent croupy cough that clung to her despite all our treatment, until I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This preparation relieved that dreadful cough and choking and effected a positive cure in the course of a few days' time." For sale by all dealers.

Christ had heard some time ago that i the town in which his mother lived had been burned to the ground and the inhabitants massacred by the Turks. He immediately cabled to the old country but telegraph communication had been cut off in Macedonia and other countries in the Balkan states. The letter received yesterday afternoon allayed his fears. Went to Mountain. In her letter, Mrs. Christ tells a graphic story of the invasion of an army of Turks in the town where Bhe lives. She said that the entire populace of the town went to the top of a nearby mountin when they heard of the approach of the Turks. She says that they were on the mountain for five days and five nights. The Turks, the letter reads, burned several houses and business blocks before the Macedonia reserves or home guards could reach the village. A short battle followed in which a number were killed and several Turkish soldiers captured. "We made the captured Turks clean our streets, ' the letter says. The letter in part reads: "Dear son Jimmie: "We got six months never got any i letter from you. But if you want to I know, we see large scare from Turkish army. Burned houses in town. Five days and five nights we stay on the mountain. Soon Turkish army passed up to town and thousand and thousand people killed. All telegraph and railroads tore up. But soon the soldiermen Balkan came and clean them Turks. Some Turks now clean streets, because of capture. A Free Country. "Jimmie this is free country now, just like America.

Christ, who has acted as local recruiting officer for the Balkan states, today sent $100 to his mother. He says that, according to the letter, his home was not burned but that his mother needs the money for' her support. "I'm glad we are whipping the Turks," Christ said today.

A REVOLT AGAINST . Mfli LEADERSHIP Republicans in the House Doubt Value of Illinois Man As Party Boss. (Nation! News Association) WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 27. With dissensions rife among the Republicans of the house of representatives, the first term of the minority leadership of James R. Mann of Chicago is drawing to a close. He will be re-elected minority leader in the next house, but he will face a condition of disorganization on his side of the chamber which bodes only evil

6am" ; been increasing in volume until many regular Republicans are alarmed by the situation. "We have Mann, but what the Republican party needs is super-Mann." remarked a regular today in a burst of exasperation. Will Refuse to Caucus. I The revolt against the minority ; leader has grown to such proportions that most of the progressive Republicans and some of the regulars practil cally have made up their minds to refuse to go into the Republican caucus at the beginning of the special session. These recalcitrants number about thirty-five at present. I Their attitude, if maintained in the next congress will bring them naturi ally into union on many questions of policy with the members of the Pro- , gressive party. I The complaints against Mann's lead- : ership are various. The most serious criticism is that he is not a leader at all, but simply a director of a mechanical routine opposition to Democratic bills. It is contended that he never has sought to unite the Republicans on any broad, constructive policy of statesmanship but is content to pick flaws in Democratic measures. Accused of Being Censor. Some complain that he sets himself up as a censor of legislation, saying to Republicans as well as Democrats what bill he will allow to be passed. Others complain that he talks too much, and other wise keeps himself in the limelight. It is argued that so long as the mijnority stands for nothing constructive i but merely for petty opposition to the majority, the Republican party will be the chier surerer. The opposition to Mann has made some attempt to find another man to put up for leader. Representative Gardner of Massachusetts was approached on the proposition of being a candidate against Mann, but he declined. Mann himself only smiles at the rumblings of dissatisfaction with his leadership. His defenders say that the opposition has been bred by . Mann's refusal to permit members of his own party, as well as the opposite party, to put through bills involving large and petty graft. The complaint that he talks too much, say his friends, comes from men whose knowledge of governmental affairs is dwarfed by that of the minority leader.

Moormann, 56, formerly of Rich- . mlond' abOUt Ind., fell dead in a local cafe 9 o'clock last evening. It is believed that lung trouble was the indirect cause of his death.
