The collision between all automobile
and team driven by J. A Hamilton at
the corner of Franklin and Monroe
street, resulting in serious injury to
Mr. Hamilton, has caused increased
interest in the proposittoi before the
Board of Councilmen as to the widen
tug of the street at that point. it
seems that the present is the armor
time time to make this improvement.
according to the judgment of those
who are farsighted in such matters.
John F. McMahon has generously
agreed to give the city a strip of lu-td
for the purpose which will enable the
change to be llllldt‘ without great eti-
pense to the city. A little trouble iii
the matter of surveying and changing
the layout is all that is necessary. iii-
.ismuch as the improvement will be
of lasting benefit to the. city it would
appear to he folly to allow the upper

Objections of Colored Citizens,
lie Colalted With Request;
A delegation of prominent colored
citizens called at the office of the
Sentinel, yesterday afternoon while on
their way to the City Hall. to protest
to Mayor Harstrom against the pro.
duction of the “Birth of a Nation," an-y
:louticed as one of the coming slime-j
lions at the Regent Theatre. The
contention is that the colored race is
grossly misrepresented in the picture.
and that the facts portrayed are not,
historically correct. The Mayor, not.
being at the City Hall. was waited on
at his residence, and after hearing the.
words of protest, got into communica-}
tion with Samuel Kantor, manager of;
the Regent Theatre. Mr. Kramer, dis-i
playing his usual t-‘pilll of fairness and‘
good will to the public, needed noi
urging in the premises, but assured

The family lived in Westport more

was taken in charge by the probate
authorities andcommltted to an insti-

Whether she is living or dead is not
known. Despite the small estate. the
authorities feel it would be particu-
larly interesting to learn what became
