MERCHANTS, BANKERS MAY INSTALL BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEM HERE Bankers and prominent business men are seeking burglar alarm protection for their establishments. This fact was learned Thursday when William M. Bailey, general manager of the Home Telephone company, told the board of works of appeals made to his company by local concerns asking that the alarm system be installed by the telephone company. Mr. Bailey explained that the alarm system, should it be installed, would provide both daylight and night protection. A dial placed at police headquarters would indicate the exact time and place from which the signal originated. The opening of a window, or any tampering with the charged wires of the Bystem would send in an alarm immediately, he said. It ., would be impossible to cut or disconnect wires without sending in a call. The board approved of the installing of such an arrangement. It will be necessary, however, for the matter to be presented to the police commissioners. Providing they agree to the service, and the telephone company enters into an agreement with a sufficient number of local firms, the system will be realized. Business houses 'benefited by the system would pay for the protection. To Suspend Traffic Suspension of traffic on North A street between Sixth and Eleventh streets, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, June 15, was approved by the board as a service to the all 1 school day parade program. It ia on i North A street between the two named streets that 4.500 school children will form in parade. They will march to Tenth street about 8:30 o'clock, and : from that point go south to Main : street and then east to Glen Miller ! park. Superintendent J. H. Bentley, s of the Richmond public schools, made f the request of the board. Ohe bid for an automobile chassis for the city engineer's department was received from the local Ford agency. Their bid of $521.16 was taken under advisement. ' I Improving of tb alley first south ! of the National road west, and between : South West Second and South West Third streets, was confirmed when It was learned that three resident property owners favored the resolution and three remonstrated. It was the board's opinion that such improvements should not be postponed. A bid of $130 for the painting and varnishing portions of the pest house, made by Charles Bell, was accepted. Complaint was made about the con- . dition of South West A street caused by the . heavy truck traffic on the ; street. An effort is to be made to I stop the continuous wear by ordering ! a different route for the trucks.

Alfred Burkett, 9 years old, was admitted to the witness stand at today's session of the Stark county circuit court to testify in the defense of his brother, Cecil, aged 11, on trial for the murder of a 7 year old playmate, Bennie Slavin, at Ora, Ind.. Thanksgiving day. Judge W. C. Pentacost, in permitting Alfred to tell his story, overruled the state's protest that Alfred is in the same grade at school as Elsie Slavin. Bennie's six year old sister, whom the judge excluded from the stand yester. day because of her youth. Alfred testified that he was digging a morning glory bed while Cecil was carrying hay and straw from the martin house in the Burkett back yard in Ora. He said that Freddie Shermann, who testified yesterday was throwing the litter out of the martinhouse, near which the little rifle, which killed Bennie, had been propped against a pole. Alfred confirmed Cecil's story told on the stand yesterday. Cecil, during an hour of questioning, refused to change his assertion that the shooting must have been accidental as he did not pull the trigger and was not near enough to the gun to cause it to explode. The case probably will go to the jury this afternoon. For the purpose of making tests the bureau of standards has several weight of 10,000 pounds each.
