The organization is to be known as the Fillmore Street Tunnel Property Owners' Association, and it elected Fred L. Hansen, president; Joseph J.

The fragile bit of Ivory, carved in careful detail, exhibits Dan In the act of flying from an Ivory base, and wearing little more than a Gladstone bag and an umbrella.

All equipped for a honeymoon, he Is quite as up to date as any statuette which never originated in an Oriental bazaar. Even for a Cupid, who manages to keep busy wherever he Is, it must have been doleful in that bazaar. Lanterns sway In the balconies outside, restaurant orchestras execute remarkable things up above, dried chickens rattle in the store windows next door, and race riots over the traffic right of way are many. But life on a dusty shelf, with only soft-slippered Chinese about, Isn't what Dan is used to. "Funny thing," said Ruedl.

Cupid is a god of whom Chinese tradition knows nothing, and this little stutue is the first on record of Oriental carving.

So it was appropriate that the man who ferreted him out. of one of those Dupont-street bazaars and disclosed him in all of his unblushing Immodesty should be Gus H. Ruedl, for tits' last sixteen years marriage license clerk of St. Louis, and one who has lsued passports Into matrimony for more than 128,000 couples.

He said an Increase of the meager earnings was Impracticable, but he did not say why. Dondcro Head of Faction.

The other important development of yesterday's testimony was to the effect that John Dondero and the other Inmates who had filed the charges that brought on the Investigation had schemed for months to make out a case of outrageous neglect and abuse against the present management. Charles Morgan, one of the inmates who, according to earlier witnesses, had been mistreated while ill, proved under the same clause. Chief Engineer M. W.

Refusal to Report for Duty Citusen Militiaman' Arrest. Tired of drills and parades, the' practicing of goose steps and the formation of columns for the attack of imaginary foes, Peter C. Guelsi, a motor-man and a member of the National Guard, was arrested last night for falling to obey orders and turn out for parade.

He was arrested on complaint of Captain A. Miller under a provision of the penal code, rarely invoked, which makes it a misdemeanor for a National Guardsman to refuse to report for drill when ordered to do so.
