CITY COUNCIL CONDEMNS
DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS
i -
At the regular meriting of the Doug
las City Council last evening the
■principal discussion centered around
the vartous building structures in
the town which are obviously nuis
ances. Being neither useful nor ob
jects of decent appearance, they
present the added feature of being
(laingerous on. account of fire. For
these reasons the council ha3 con
demned the following building and
will order their removal:
(Building on lot 7 block 3, which
was formerly a part of tire Roene
building; one Babich house on lot 9
block 315; house. No. 222 on tit- Ann's
Avenue; the old one-timo shooting
gallery on Front Street; the John
Ouch cabin, on St- Ann's Avenue.
The removal of it ho buildings men
tioned: will add a great deal to the
general appearance of the town.
An iron roof for the school house
and some repairs to and painting of
the City Hall were, authorized by the
Council.
After attention was given to the
regular monthly bills the meeting
adjourned for another month.

JOSEPH FOLK
PASSES AWAY
IN N. Y. CITY
Former Governor of Missouri
and Leading Democrat,
Is Dead in East.
(Contiinueo lyrom Pago One.)
nessce, October 28, I860. His pre
liminary education was obtained in
the public schools of his birthplace,
following which he was sent to Van
derbilt University to study law. He
was graduated with the degree of
LL.I). in 1890, and secured admission
to the bar within a few months. His
first shingle was hung out in Browns
ville.
Hooking for larger fields, four
years later, he moved to 8t. Louis,
where his ability and forceful en
ergy soon brought his name prom
inently before the people and was
rewarded by his election to the cir
cuit attorneyship of St- Louis. It
was while serving in that position
that his road to the executive office
was paved. His popularity grew to
such proportion that when he was
nominated for Governor by the Demo
crats he swept the state by a plurali
ty of 30,000, despite the fact the
Theodore Roosevelt's leadership gain
ed tor his ticket a plurality of some
25.000. I
Reform Legislation
Among the re-form statutes spon
sored and carried by Governor Folk
were lintel ud-e-d the Missouri law regu
lating child labor ami providing for
compulsory education; and anti-lobby
legislation; anti-raice track laws, and
the statutes which make possible the
removal of derelict state officials who
fail to enforce the laws. He also
found time to introduce and do much
for the idea of public utility com
missions as a part of city govern
ment.
While Governor of Missouri he was
made a delegate-at-large to the Demo
cratic national convention of 1908, in
which William Jennings Bryan, was
a conspicuous figure. Rryan and
Folk became fast friends, and at the
suggestion of the former the Gover
nor took to the lecture platform upon
his retirement front -state politics and
his return to private practice.
Candidate for President
In 1912 ho announced his candi
dacy for President on thd Democratic
ticket and opened campaign head
quarters in Joplin. Mo. His platform
-included equal rights, eradication of
all tariff except for revenue, preser
vation of state rights, and the elce
dion of senators by direct vote. His
(following was large, and for a time
he threatened to disrupt the state
half of which was backing the late
Champ Clark for the nomination. Mr.
Bryan suggested that the Missouri
delegation split the vote, but while
the proposition was being considered,
Mr. Folk decided to withdraw from
the running and throw his strength
to Clark
With the incoming Democratic ad
ministration. Folk was appointed soli
citor of the -State -Department by
President Wilson. latter he was made
-first chief counsel for the Interstate
Commerce Commission, a position he
held more than -four yours, although
he still -malntadned connection with
the State Department as counsel.
In Thaw Caae
tin the latter capacity he attracted
considerable attention by taking a
hand -In the famous Harry Thaw case,
when Thaw was deported from Can
ada -In 1913. The defendant claimed
violation of his rights as a cltlaen
and appealed to the Department of
State to make representations to the
British government. -Folk, however,
squelched the action by deciding
Thaw’s rights had not been violated.
Folk's connection with the Inter
state Commerce Commission carried
him through many stormy cases, in
the ptasechtian of which he duplicat
ed the successes and -popularity of
his home career. Ha poshed Investi
gatian of a number of railroads, the
Foremost of which was a probe Into
the activities, of the New, York, Nfoy.

CHARGES MRS. CROKER WITH BfGAMV
■v
Mrs. Ethel Oroker White, cf Cedarhurst, New York, daughter
of the late Richard Croker, for many yean* loader of S'am many Hall
in New York, has been permitted by the" Irish courts in Dublin tti
interpose and become party to the suit brought by her brothers «ml
sisters to break the will of their father, leaving several million
dollars to his second wife, Heaulafh Heaton Edmondson Orolcsr, and
cutting off his children. Croker. whose .first wife, Miss Elizabeth
Frazier, whom lie married in 1873, died, Immediately married Miss
Edmondson, a Cherokee Indian Princess. In her fight to break her
father's will, Mrs. White alleges that at the tlmo of bvr marriage

awl the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis.
Fight* for St. Louie
He resigned tram the commission
in 1918 to Teturn to St. Louis as
general counsel (for the Chamber of
Commerce there. He took up the
city’s fight against terminal monopo
lies and free bridge arbitrations, and
also continued his private practlee
in that city and Washington. He
later received the Democratic nomin
ation to the United States Senate,
hut was defeated.
In 1919 ho became counsel for
Egypt in that country’s fight against
the British protectorate, and filed
with Congress several complaints
against the British rule. For some
time lie fought on tho sihlo of the
natives, and, according to his friends
and followers, when that country re
ceived its autonomy from England, It
was an organisation based upon
Folk's ideas that was used for the
new Egyptian government.
His practice grew along national
and (international lines, anl in 1922
he was naked to represent Peru in
the negotiations with Chile over the
Tacna-Ariea controversy. His work
resulted in tho United Slates inviting
the two countries to settle their dis
pute at Washington, and prompted
\ the offer of good offices by this
I government.

tended with a stumping campaign in
; 1920, during which lie carried the
Dnnoeratic fight into tho enemy ter
ritory of the staunchest northern
states.
