men, the bunco experts and the thugs
from the four corners of the earth made
Wichita their Mecca The vast crowd
which they knew would be in Wichita
was to be their harvest Scoundrels of
high and low degree bought tickets for
Wichita Not only a vast crowd in a
prosperous city attracted them. They
knew their chances for robbery were en-
HANGED by the nature of a street fair,
which is q street within a street, q mar
now avenue where people must jostle and
stand close. But in edition to that, and
what pleased the outlaws most, was the
report that Wichita had a new chief Of
police. a man without police experience.
What could a new man know about or
ganization? What could a new man
know about the means and manner of de-
tection7
Here indeed was rich harvest. It IS
true that the chief of police was new.
But It happened also that he was a man
with executive ability adaptable to any
organization It happened that he has
knack for being everywhere at once and
sn the same place again as lively as a
cricket. It happened that he had the
ksenness to realize that the best way TO
deal with a scoundrel IS 10 throttle him
early. We know what the result was. A
week Of perfect order and safety in Wtch-
tia, when It was entertaining the largest
crowd in its history. Fort Scott during
its carnival had to call on the Kansas
City police for aid. Wichita needed no
aid. The thieves came. no doubt; they
saw, and they got out of town as fast as
their legs could carry them
Turning to Chief Cubbon. he said:
''Afr. Cubbon. We feel sure that no new
chief OF police ever acquitted himself
more ably than you have dona We
know that you kept order and safety in
Wichita in a truly marvellous way. We
believe that you have shown more than
ordinary fitness for the place to which
our mayor appointed you. That one week
OF fine work, We take It, has demonstrat-
ed to the people OF Wichita that there is
man at the head Of the police department
OF this city who knows what he Is about,
and knows what TO do and when To do It
And now, in behalf Of the members Of
probation OF your work. I present You
this badge Of Office. It is the sign OF au-
thority, the pledge Of order and safety
In wichita and we all know that you
will DO It honor

Street Commissioner Allen
Compliments His Work

Chief Of Police Cubbon was requested to
appear before last nights council meet
ing for hearing on charges preferred
By several members Of the council as to
the conduct of the police department
during the week Of the Street Fair.
Councilmen Luling, Burton. Mclean and
Dewey arose one at time and very so
berly and even viciously charged the
chief with fragrant neglect Of duty and
inefaciency.
Chief Cubbon looked amazed and mad
by turns and edged around on his chair
uneastly. He stood it till Chas. Luling
in stating the reasons why he thought
the chief ought TO be dismissed from the
service remarked sarcastically that a
chief who would allow the sale of blad-
ders and rubber balls in the street, and
all the riot that attends such carnival
weapons, ought not 10 be given the dig
nifty Of q trial. Mr.. Cubbon got up and
threatened 20 bring in the whole street
force and clear the council chamber.
Street Commissioner Allen arose to
point Of order and in a few minutes had
settled the difficulty In a neat and de
served tribute 20 the good work the chief
is doing and his constant watch for the
protection OF citizens. Mr.. Allen observ-
ed as he moved his head at the rebellious
councilmen and the chief, who was get
ting ready to fight:
