Sauvago has under con- givo Alton what ha lor a long time. Not only Alon get a new city hall out of the deal but tlioy would got a modern 8tatl01 intn which all of the street car and railroad! Ilnei coming iHto Alton mayor discussed the proposition with a reporter for the Telegraph this afternoon. The scheme Is ftlll in Hs infancy but the Mayor said that If the plan meets the approval of the general public he would take the proposition up with the railroad and Interurbau lines. It looks good to him but he Is anxious to hoar-what the people In general think of the scheme before taking it up. The plan would call for one of the biggest public Improvements that Alton has seen in a number of years.

The building such as the Mayor has in mind would cost It would be three series tall and would have ticket offices for alrof the railroad companies arid would have offices for all of the Alton Gas and Electric Co. people who are in the city hall building at present. For some time the traffic- on the city hall square has been so heavy that It is next to Impossible to handle it. On the loop of the Alton, Granite and St. Louis Traction Go.

around the city hall there are as many as eight cars at some time during the day. The plan would do away with all of this by giving them spur tracks on what Is now Front street south of the city hall. The building that tl)e Mayor has in mind In suggesting the plan is one that would be erected on the present site of tho city hall only a ilHtle further soufli and would be much wider than the present city ball extending as far as tho watering troujgh on the west side. It would be built back, And sheds would cover the railroad and the street car tracks. The back of the building would be the station and the front of the building would be reserved for the office of the Mayor, the City Clerk, the police station and the police court.

On the second floor would be tnbre WEATHEtt Fair and slightly warmer to. night and tomorrow. I I Ml 111 WAR INSURANCE BILL MAKES ALLOWANCES for the city officials and a place for the council chamber anfl the city court. Tho third floor would be used as the jail and would handle ono of the problems of a Rood Jail that Alton has been trying for some time. The financing of the proposition would havfi to he cared for hv tho street car lines and the railroad companies.

Theclty would furnish the ground and the right of way for the tracks and the companies would pay for the building. The mayor said this afternoon, "TliB Alton, Granite and St. Louis Traction Co. officials certainly see Mhat the day IH not far distant when th'cy havo to make some other arrangements In Alton. The' business here Is on the Increase and they halve no way to handle it.

Already the loop IB over crowded and in congesting the traffic to -an extent that it is dangerous. They should pay for the greater part ot the ex- penno as the scheme would put them si station in the the city and give them there could no change. The other railroad should be called upon to pay a part of the expense Of the building." The mayor said ho was ready to take up the plan with the officials of tho vurlouH companies as soon as he received assurance that the People at Alton would favor suqh a'plan.

By tJnited Press. Washington, Aug. the stamp of the President's approval the expected war compensation in demnity and Insurance bill was introduced In Congress today.

The expected war compensation Indemnity and insurance bill was in troduced in both houses today. Its outstanding feature Is organized In surancc for every man who enters the United States defense service. Drafted by international experts, the proposed law is a substitute for Ivil war pension. It will cost the Government $556,000,000 the first two years. The plan is to insure at $7 to $8 a month per $1,000.

The $10,000 insurance for $80 a year as compared with the standard rates of about $302 tor $10,000 Insurance? for a man of 27 Is possible because the Government does not require high priced advertising and offices. The bill provides for assignment of part of each to his family to be paid by the Government on a graduated scale of payments for disability, for death Indemnity or Insurance. a man fails to make application for insurance on the seven to-eight dollars per $1,000 insurance plan and is ctlled the Government presumes him have made application for a $5,000 policy and pays his widow or estate on that basis.

Five dol- ars a month is allowed for each additional child over the number of two. Tho father may give more thaft $5 a month If he desires.

That a private with a wife, tijree children and a mother can by alloting them $20 get J47.50 a month from the Government, making $67.50 a month for his dependents, la shown by figuring out the irpvisions of the bill.

WILL BREAK UP PARK GANGS DAMAGE BEING DONE MAYOR AND OHIKF OK 1'OLIOE HOLD CONPKRENCE THIS MORNING AND DECIDK TO BREAK UP GANGS CAUSING ANNOYANCE. City officials have decided, after a conference this morning, that a determined effort must he made to break up the gangs that have been forming about the city. The, work will not be aimed so much at the little tots who jlay on the street corners as at the older boys and young men congregate in ganps and commit lawless acts.

"We are going to break up the gangs," said the Mayor this morning. It may take some plain clothes men .0 do it but we have decided upon the course and will see that they are broken up." Reports that have been brought to the police station indicate that the janga do a large amount of damage to. and commit many lawless acts. The city officials said this morn- ng that the new order would not only apply to boys but to gangs of girls who were to be found about as well. 'There have been a number of serious complaints about these.

The investigation was started last evening with the arrest of a number of boys on the charge of tampering with the automobile belonging to J. A. vieselhorst. When the men found he machine the boys were in it and one of the tires on the back was loose. is believed that they intended to ake the tire.

A roller towel which ST. Keiselhorst bad in his machine caused the arrest of the lads. Rather ban leave the machine in the garage ast evening'to have a new catch put on the door he took it out and used a oiler towel to bold the door shut. When he caught the boys in the ma- bine he discovered that the towel was the tool box and the boys finally idmitted that they had opened the tool )ox. The c-fficers believed they went here to get a wrench to take off the ire.

Arman Rhor, one of the lads, was mt on parole from the reformatory at St. Charles. The man who was on is parole wrote back this morning hat he did not want to continue on he parole and the officials will send he boy back to the reformatory. Another case of the same kind was' tarted in the Police pourt this morn- ng when Dr. D.

L. Reed had a number )f boys in' Upper Alton arrestefi for earing down his sign. Several of the ioys were wanted on the-eharge ould not be caught BO the case was ontinued until Saturday morning, 18, when It will come up for rial.

The gate to Alton harbor Is ncai shut and locked as tho result of the falling water and the rising sandbar that has formed just above the draw span channel of the Alton bridge. Steamboats passing the draw must take the inside channel, which is much more difficult as it necessitates their making a big turn to avoid the fleet of docks and Boats at the foot of Market street. A big bond must be made, the boats shooting across to the extreme north side of the river, going through the draw slowly with out any power being used and then swinging sharply out to avoid hitting anything moored near the foot of Market street.

The boats just kick themselves through and the engineers stand ready to respond immediately to any signal should the boat hit a bar. It would be a bad place to get caught on a bar owing to the closeness of the bridge. When the power Is shut off a steamboat draws less water than when the engines are running and this gives some help too. The falling of the river may cause the bar to cut out, but river men that the bar is destined to give more and more trouble and it may make the river impassable. This is the first time there has been any real danger of the draw- span being blocked since the channel was established there at the time the bridge was built.

The channel used to be on the other side. The bridge builders desired to put the channel over here so they changed it, by Government permission, so as to run through the draw span. To dp this the dike was extended down into Alton harbor and a dike was, built along the shore here reaching from Market street to. the bridge shore pier. To make sure there would be no obstruction of traffic, the Government compelled the.

bridge company to maintain for years a huge barge which was to be used to carry the raft span of the bridge in case it was found necessary to lift out that span, if the draw span of the bridge filled up with sand. The bridge company's work "was successful in maintaining the channel at the new place for the past 23 but now it appears that somebody is going to be compelled to dredge out that bar. TELEGRAPH WILL PUBLISH FULL ORDER OF DRAFT. Saturday Evening's Copy of the Paper Will Tell Drafted Men Just What Their Numerical Order Is. The Telegraph will publish tomorrow evening a list of the numbers of the drafted men in Alton, showing tho numerical order in which they will be called for service.

This list has never been published. It has been compiled with a groat amount of labor. Tho list is so made up that anyone knowing his own serial number may find It quickly and then will find indicated tho order in which he is subject to call for military service in this exemption district. It. has been a big job to do this, and there is great chance for error in making up such a list, but the Telegraph can vouch for it that the list is practically correct.

It has taken the most arduous labor but the Telegraph views it that this is but one of the many duties the newspaper can render in helping those who are to defend the Has, giving them information that IB very interesting to thorn just now when they arc awaiting a second call.

'Publication in tho newspapers of the list of men who failed to appear for examination resulted today In the discovery that most of them had perfectly good reanons. A number had enlisted, or were in training camps and relatives had thought no attention was necessary to the board summons. Others had been examined elsewhere and somo of the foreigners belonged to the class floaters whose hat is their homo and who probably were exempt from military- service anyhow in that they are probably aliens. Three men, before noon today, had appeared before the Exemption Board md told they wished to withdraw their claims for exemption.

One claimant wrote in: "I wish to withdraw my claim as I cannot conscientiously claim exemption on tho ground of supporting a dependent parent." Another came In and asked the aoard to take back its affidavit blank 10 had received as he was ready and willing to serve. These indicate that there Is to be a ibange of mind on the part of some of he exemption claimants who will not put it up to the board to put them in he army unwillingly. A much better frame of mind was apparent in these men after they had thought it over. The call made by the exemption for information regarding the young men who have filed claims for discharge from the selective draft has in considerable valuable in- ormation being received and it is expected that still more will come. Those vhose chances of being drawn earlier by reason of the flood of exemption claims are assisting in reducing the number of discharges in the first draft, Those who are drafted themselves and mve bona fide claims for discharge re ready to assist, too, as the threat has been made at Washington that all exemption privileges will be cancelled unless there is a shrinkage in the claims.

The exemption board has been receiving information of poaltive mis- tatements having been made by some oung men who stated they had ae- lendencles.

Demuth To Be Ladies' Auxiliary Member. Regarding claimants who arc telling if the dependency of their families, Mrs. Demuth is to be consulted.

The requesting of iTrs.

Demuth to sit as an adviser was ecided upon because of the great mass of exemption claims which have een filed and the percentage of cases mong thm known tu be spurious.

Then he gave the Jerseyvllle congregation fits also, and some of them say rotten eggs are plentiful in Jerseyville.

The Elder is presiding elder, for Mlusouri and illnois of the Holiness Christian Church and vfas formerly pastor in Jerseyville. His son married a daughter of John W. Allen about year ago and there has been ever since; the preacher md his son arrested for per- ury for claiming to be of age and the son was fined; Mr. Allen had the preacher arrested on a peace warrant and the preacher was brought be- ore Justice W. S.

VanPelt and after little delay pleaded guilty to the charge and a fine was assessed against ilm. The elder in question is Rer. ohn Wallace, and the story la familiar. as it has been given wide publicity. The Jerseyvllle congregation has been ashamed of the affair of the arrests the marriage of young "Wallace, hut now they are up in arms at the ao ions of the Presiding Elder; as In addition to giving the congregation fits, also has threatened, it is stated on good authority, to remove the local pastor, Rev.

MADISON COUNTY REPUBLICANS DISPLEASED. ay County Being Ignored In Distribution of Good Jobs By the Governor. There is not the best of feeling among some of the Republicans In Madison county over the appointment jf Judge B. R.

Burroughs to the. parttuent of Welfare as a minority member. Interviews with some of-the members of the Republican orgaaiza- lon, who had been very active lu'the nterests of Gov. LoWden say that hey have been disappointed that It liould have been decided to give a ninorlty appointment to this county, strong Republican county that did much for Gov. Lowden.

They are not omplainlng of Judge Burroughs, as hey say that if the Democrats are atisfied with him, the Republicans ave no complaint, except that they do iot like to see this county charged up vlth patronage which goes to a Demorat. Madison county has received othing but this one appointment, baring a deputy factory inspector givon former Chief of Police Mullen. The Governor wil! -probably not give any more jobs of the most desirable class this county inasmuch as he has iven such a good post to Judge Buroughs. The Republicans say that ladison county seems to have been ompietely forgotten In the distribu- on of prizes. Gov, Lowden baa undoubtedly liown good judgment In selecting his ppointeos, but It is claimed that Madson county could furnish some that would be up to the high standard, and lat tho county Is not being given a banco to furnish any Republicans for he jobs that are available.
