St. Louis.—A million dollars with* out an owner is the subject of a court suit in St. Louis. Lost to use, the money is idle. It cant even he given away or otherwise disposed cf iT|^ its present status. All this happened because the West g:rew up. TK€ TrioRo“ Mb'F' lamphy, rich, eccentric liachelor who ^was mayor of St. Louis during the flood-tide of the western-ho move ment. Himself the son of a pioneer, .Mul- lamphy watched travelers trek west ward through St. Ixiuis. Noting suf fering and privation in their ranks, he bought 'supplies for them and re paired their achoonert. One-third of his fortune, according to the will left at this death in 1S61, was left to the oity of St. Louis “to constitute a fund to furnish relief to poor immigrants and travelers coming to St. Louis on their way, bona Tide, to settle in the West. The bequest consisted of real es tate which was then valued at $500,- 000. It has been tangled in litigation for 80 years ajnce then. The fund fell into disuse when immigration laws stemmed the flow of penniless ROAD PROGRAM BEGINS SOON LAKESIDE GOLFERS MEET GREENWOOD settlers. With the idle fund now totalling more than $1,000,000, a group of Mul- lamphy heirs, representing descend ants from his five sisters, seek to dis solve the charity trust. Opposing their reqqeat, the city contends the will made no provision for reversion to hain, mod aaks that the fund be given to charities consist ent with Mullamphy's original wishes.

In a formal statement Mr. Sawyer said, in part: ‘iVerjr re^ntly the-price of domestici cement, f. o. b. has been increased ap proximately 60 per cent, which in crease we believe to be unreasonable and exorbitant. "Such an increase will not be ac* cepted or tolerated by the state high way commission and the executives of the state highway department and we are in the process of making ne gotiations that will cause cement to be furnished for our statewide pro gram at, what we consider to be, a just and equitable charge. "It is our purpo.se to expand this initial hardsurface program to in clude all links in the present paved hardsurface system and important highways, in the hardsurface system • insections of the state which hereto fore have no or very limited hard- surfaee mileage. "This expansion w-iH be furthered! a.s quickly as the unit prices, the sup ply of materials and the proper ex tension of our engineering construc- ,tion forces will warrant." — Laurena and Clinton Teams To Face Opponents In Inter-Club Tournaments.
