shine as a pulpit light this morning.
The idea I wish 10 convey is that when

Mr.. Haymaker seemed to have forgot

for Office on the Prohibition ticket and
PIT a very late date he said some bitter
things about Wichita because II as

sooner live in hell than in Wichita
That however. is only A report and
Mr.. Rotkin may not have said II. al
though everybody must confess that II
sounds like him. IF Mr.. Haynlaker had

When The reporter for the Eagle found
Judge NcCandless and asked him

soorn and was about to give express

caught himself with a sudden jerk and
said:
'Ts This for Publication"

Venezuelan question. Don't you know
that all that racket was a fake I think
It was
Are You sure, Judge, that you Will

for Rotkin unless he had a guarantee
that he would not be quoted.
Just then Chief Burt came IN and
when asked something about the at
