AS to Reported Lawlessness-

AS to Reported Lawlessness-
Attorney General Dawes arrived in
the city last night and is now stop
ping al the Manhattan hotel
Quite a number Of professional and
business men called at hotel last night
to pay their respects TO the attorney
general. Some of them were old friends
and others called TO get acquainted
with the attorney general OF the best
state in the union.
General DAVIS is a man Of pleasing
address and a level headed gentleman,
and he added a number of prominent
business men to his already large list
of friends in this city last night.
He is one of the men who on all oc-
casions stands up for Kansas and his
ride through the state and its big
cornfieid had tendency TO intensity
his love for Kansas and its magni-
ficent institutions and If it were pos
sible make him prouder OF being
Kansan.
General DAVIS has so many friends in
Wichita who wanted to call and see
him when they found that he was here
that il was nearly midnight before a
reporter for the Eagle had an oppor-
tunity to talk with him and when an
opportunity offered he asked General
DAVIS the object of his W.T. to Wichita.
Il came down." said he, Ito see your
city and people. There have been so
many conflicting reports to reach me
in regard TO this city that l wanted to
see for myself"
ITO what reports do you have ref
erence?'
why, il has been reported that WITCH
tia is most law abiding place In the
state, and then again it is the most
lawless and that neither the person
and property OF your citizens are pro-
tected by the law.
II want to see the people of Wich-
ita-your business men, your ministers,
and your law and order people-and
learn the true situation here in regard
TO your police government 1 want to
see whether you have a well governed
city that guarantees the best possible
protection to life and property.
Then some more friends came in TO
see General DAVIS, and he turned to
talk with them. He, however. took
time to remark that he would remain
in Wichita all day today. and would
visit all classes of citizens and hear
what the people had to say.
