Two ducks from Baxter Springs
named Frank McMannis and ]. r.
Little came over to Chetopa the fore
part of the week TO open a joint.
They had two barrels of beer sent
to Oswego and Tuesday evening
they hired team, went up after it,
opened up Tuesday night and sold
n few bottles, but for some reason
they closed very early and about 0
o'clock Wednesday morning they
were placed under arrest and taken
before Judge Calvin, charged with
selling Intoxicating liquors. They
pleaded not guilty and their trial
was set for o'clock. Several wit
nesses were subpenaed and 1t was
clearly shown that they had made
sales and that the stuff they had
sold was beer. The defendants did
some of the most ridiculous lying,
but they could not convince the
court. They were fined 500 each
and sentenced to Jail for 30 days.

Speaking of prohibition in Kan
sas, a farmer near Wichita bought
what he supposed to be an empty
whiskey barrel from one of the
Joints there, soaked some corn in il
and scattered il on his wheat field.
Wild geese eat the corn and got
drunk. The farmer caught 81 of
them, plucked their feathers and
killed enough for himself, his
neighbors and protracted meet
ing festival in the neighborhood.
In relating the circumstances he
said: II paid 81 for the barrel and
sold to the factory in West Wichita
Sll worth of feathers, and l con-
slider had $25 worth of fun. and as
five souls were baptized and con-
fessed the Saviour of the universe,
think that the 81 spent for the
whiskey barrel resulted in more
good than though i had spent so
for missionary purposes"

of Catholic Publications.
NEW YORK.. Jan. 5.-In acknowledgment OF
the address sent 10 Pope Leo a little less than
a year ago by the Catholic editors of the
United States, the rope has sent a cordial
letter through Mgr SatcIl. A few extracts
are made from a translation of the Latin
text authorized by the apostolic delegate:
cit has ever been our most ardent desire
that in these days OF uBbridled literary license.
when the world is flooded with hurtful pub
ncations. men OF marked sagaeity should la
Dor for the public welfare by the diffusion of
wholesome literature. That this great work
was being most zealously prosecuted by our
faithful children in North America. we were
already aware. that an address which many
of them had signed and caused 10 be trans
mitted to ns confirms our convictions Of their
zeal +"
Continuing, the Pope congratulates the
Catholic editors on their labors. and eX-
presses the wish that their writings may con-
unue TO please and enlighten the people He
s1horts them Eat the same time to defend
the rights Of the Church as well as whatever

Judge Cole to Pass Upon Their Case and
That OF a Bookmaker.

Judge Cole to Pass Upon Their Case and
That OF Bookmaker.
Two cases OF interest in racing circles came
up before Judge Cole yesterday.
Palmer P. Babcock and f. J. Owens were
arraigned for tapping on Long Bridge the
wires to the Alexander Island track last Sep
temher and obtaining the results ahead of
time. This, it is alleged. constituted CON-
spiracy to defraud and iniure the Western
Union Telegraph Company, whose wires were
tapped.
The two young men pleaded not guilty with
leave TO file a demurrer. 1t is understood
they will contend that as bookmaking is an
offense against the law, the Western Union
was engaged in an unlawful business in
transmitting information for bookmakers and
Is. therefore, unable TO assert that the wire
tapping injured the companys legal business.
The demurrer VIII probably be argued be-
fore Judge Cole on next Saturday.
Fred T. Miller. charged with violation at
Benuing of the laws against gambling, was
also arraigned before Judge Cole His attor-
ney, Henry L. Davis. filed demurrer on the
ground that bookmakiLg, which was his
clients offense, is not unlawful in this Dis
trict. Argument On the demurrer will be
heard next Saturday.
Judge cole decided in the Ivy City cases
that bookmaking is criminal offease under
the laws OF the District, and Mr.. Davis asked
that the present case be heard by some other
judge. but District Attorney BirneY declined
this proposal.
Judge Cole said it was desirable that the
question should be decided by the court of
obliged to decide as before. unless new
authorities were produced, and the case
might be appealed. Mr. Davis thought he
might bring new authorities.

WILL THEY CLOSE THE TRACK?
Question of Jurisdiction Over Alexander
Island Before Attorney General oIney.

Question of Jurisdiction Over Alexander
Island Before Attorney General oIney.
The question of jurisdiction over Alexander
Island, which, as announced yesterday in
TIE TIMES exclusively. will soon be raised in
the United States court for the eastern dis
trict OF Virginia. was the subject of much
discussion among lawyers and racing men
here yesterday.
1t is learned that the point will be raise
before Judge Hughes on Monday and tnat
there is abundant evidence TO support the
contention that the island is within the Dis
trict Already the matter has been laid be-
fore District Attorney Birney with a view 10
his taking action under the law against pool
selling. and the facts relating to the fixing OF
the boundary. as stated by The TIMES yester-
day, have been laid before Attorney General
Olney.
President Jones, of the Grange Camp As
sociation, said that doubtless any action OF
the kind originated with the managers Of the
St. Asaph's Association. He took less in
terest in the matter because the Alexander
Island track was not such a gold mine as
some people suppose. Because a big busi-
ness was beng done people are apt TO as
sumo that there are big profits. They do not
look at expenses. But the man who sees
both often finds that ths balance to the good
is often very small. even where there is the
greatest popularity and outward success.
He did not know certainly whether the
island was entirely cut of from Virginia bv
water or not. He had not been over all the
ground since he shot over il as boy. He re-
membered very well what was then known as
Grayelly Branch, which ran in from the Po-
tomae at the head OF the island. 1t could
hen be crossed easily, but he thought at all
reasons. even the driest it had a running
island down 10 Roach's Run, which broad
ened out into the Potomac below the island.
This chute is now back OF the grand stand
and there is but OF woodland through which
race followers frequently steal into the races
He did not know, however, whether there
was always water in the chute or not. The
in:erlopers seemed TO have no trouble in
crossing il.
