The city of Weeping Water, seek
ing to prevent Ross Dennis, a resi
dent of that place from erecting a
building in Commonwealth avenue
in that city, has applied to the dis
trict court to stop the erection of
a garage building.
In the petition filed in the district
court by Attorney W. A. Robertson
who is representing the city of Weep
ing Water as legal advisor, it is
stated that the defendant is erect
ing or proposing to erect a garage
in the above named street which con
stitutes an obstruction in the stret,
that is a menace to the city as the
possible menas of causing suits
against the city.
The city has therefore asked that
the defendant and all of his agents
or representatives be enjoyed from
any work on the garage or other
obstruction or excavation of the
streets of Weeping Water.
The notice of the temporary order
which was granted this morning by
Judge James T. Begley. was served
by Sheriff Bert Reed on the defend
ants in the case and the hearing on
the motion of the defendant city to
make permanent the injunction was
set for Saturday, June 22nd in the
district court in this city.
PLEASED WITH FIGHTERS
Prom Tuesday's lally
Edward Brantner, proprietor of
the Hotel Perkins and one of the
enthusiastic followers of the fight
ing game in this part of the Btate,

evening. Mr. Brantner has the man
agership of George Schmader, Dick
Mr.rch and Babe Sai.'ors and who

cupied the corner room on the main
floor of the hotel building is removed,
that he will have the room remodel
ed for use as a gym with the mat

his string of fighters have their
workout there.
MUD AND DUST MUST GO
Twenty-five years ago in this
country a good road was the excep
tion, rather than the rule. Now we
have the greatest highway system
in the world. The growth in use of
the automobile waa responsible for
this development.
Money spent for improved roads is
returned in social and industrial
,benefits. Highways are the founda
tion of community progress. Now a
new phase of highway expansion is
appearing, the building of secondary
or feeder roads.
Roads are being extended into
rural districts as never before since
methods have been devised for using
asphalts and road 0II3 to give wa
ter proof hard surfaces at a minimum
of expense.
DOING VERY NICELY
The many friends over Cass county
will be pleased to learn that S. O.
Cole, one of the prominent residents
of near Mynard, is doing very nicely
at t' e Immanuel hospital at Omaha
where he has been for the past sev
eral weeks and where he was operated
on a few days ago. The patient has
rallied nicely and despite his age
is showing fine recuperative powers
and seems well on the highway to
recovery. The children from distant
points have been here visiting with
the father and their presence has
greatly aided him in making progress
toward recovery.

Plan to Finish
Monument to
Grant Praised
C. E. Hughes Supports Move to Fit
Civil Pride and to Honor
General.
New York Warm support of the
plan to complete and enrich the
monument to General U. S. Grant
in Riverside Drive has Just been
voiced here by Charles E. Hughes in
a letter to the Grant Monument As
sociation. Mr. Hughes characterized
the monument as "the most import
ant in New York City."
"I am glad to know of the plans
that have been made to complete the
monument to General Grant in River
side Drive," Mr. Hughes wrote. "It
is altogether fitting that this should
be carried out. both as a tribute to
General Grant, and as a matter of
civic pride, in apropiately complet
ing the architectural scheme and in
embellishing the most important
monument in the city."
The Grant monument, which was
erected and dedicated more than 30
years ago, was the public's gift to
New York City, and the city appro
priated as a site the land in River
side Drive on which it stands, with
the surrounding plaza.
Plans to complete and enrich the
memorial were adopted in 1928 by
the Grant Monument Association, of
which Gen. James G. Harbord is
president, and offices were establish
ed in the Chamber of Commerce
building, 65 Liberty Street. The sup
plementary designs by the architect,
John Russell Pope, provided for an
equestrian statue of General Grant
by Paul Manship and sculptural dec
orations of the pediment . and panels
of the monument itself, to cost $200,
000. The improvement and enlarge
ment of the plaza upon which the
memorial stands will cost an addi
tional $200,000, it is estimated.
;, Substantial progress in the $400,
000 campaign for funds is reported
in the statement just made by Wil
liam Rhinelander Stewart, chairman
of the special committee to complete
the monument. Mr. Stewart said that
since March the fund has Increased
from $33,000 to more than $70,000.
Among the most recent subscribers,
he added, was the United States
Grant Post No. 327, Department of
New York, G. A. R., which has held
patriotic ceremonies at the monu
ment each recurring Memorial Day
since it was erected.
. Mrs. George Knox was among the
visitors in Omaha today, going to
that city on the early Burlington
train to spend a few hours with
friends.

Washington, June 14. Investiga

Virkkula, near International Falls,
Minn., showed the agent "apparently
acting within his authority under
law, Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Seymour Lowman announced
"today, upon receipt of a report from
customs officials in Minnesota.
White has "a perfect defense" to
the charges against him, according
to Lowman.
"If the local courts indict White
a motion will be made to transfer
his case to the United States court
for trial," Lowman declared.
I Gives No Details.
t Lowman's statement concerning
the case gave no details of the killing
of Virkkula. The report upon which
the statement was based was receiv
ed from Assistant Collector of Cub-
; toms Linderberg of Duluth, Minn.
I Linderberg of Duluth. f wyetagkqta
Linderberg has jurisdiction over the
border patrol force in that area.
i "It would appear from the report
that newspaper accounts of the affair
have been highly colored, to put it
mildly," Lowman declared.
I "The treasury has no Intention of
disarming customs patrolmen.
Would Nullify Law. '
"Should congress pass a law dis
arming them It would, in effect, re
peal the tariff laws because it Is only
through police powers that smug
gling of merchandise into the United
States can be prevented.
"If prohibition agents are disarm
ed, it would, in effect, nullify the
Eighteenth amendment. Treasury
regulations control the use of fire
arms by its operatives, and they are
very stringent." .,
