WORK GOES ON.
Another Joint Raided by the Police
Last Night.

The back door opened, the front door
opened, and policemen appeared at both
the entrances to Little" Lon Towns
ends joint in the basement under the
United States express office on Kansas
avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets.
It was about O'Clock last night, and
the bartender, a tall colored man, was
serving the foaming beverage to about
a dozen thirsty customers who were
lined up in front of the bar. The crowd
divided and started for the two doors,
but found policemen at each entrance.
1t was surprising how dexterously the
bartender slipped the glasses from the
bar to the working board" behind.
The proprietor gathered up what money
was in sight, locked his private drawer
and sauntered forward to greet Ser
geant Owen, who came in from the
front.
why, what's this mean?" he asked.
For answer the sergeant read him
warrant charging him with selling in
tOxicating liquors.
But paid my fine of 500 on the goth
of last month"; explained the proprietor,
and my month is not up yet
You forget We have a new chief"
remarked the sergeant.
What will he do?" queried the pro-
prietor.
Il do not know" replied the sergeant.
The bartender and Little Lon ac-
companied the sergeant to the station
and on default of bond Townsend was
locked up. There was no warrant for
the bartender and he was allowed to go.
Officers Pavey and Hopkins, who en-
tered the place from the rear, took
charge of the room and sent the crowd
out, gathered up the glasses and two
bottles of whisky, and Pavey started to
disconnect the beer pump.
These are strange cOntrivanceS, these
beer pumps, but an officer who has
taken apart as many as Pavey has
knows how to do it, and in a minute
the pump was lying on the floor beside
the lone key of beer, waiting for the
patrol wagon.
While the officers were at work gath
ering up the paraphernalia the patrons
of the place walked in, not knowing who
was in possession, and they quickly
walked out when they saw officer Hop
kins in uniform behind the bar
At o'clock this morning Sergeant
Owen made a second visit to the joint
and found in the areaway under the
sidewalk in front a barrel of beer and
a large stock of liquors. They were
taken to the police station.

SPLENDID RECORD.
Kansas q. A R. More Than Held Its
Own.

The administration of D. w Eastman

cellent condition. Today Mr.. Churchill
checked up the records of the depart

FEDERAL COURT.
Work of the April Term Completed
News of the Court.

The federal grand jury completed its
work today. made its final report to
Judge Hook, and was discharged 1t
has been in session since April 10, and
during that time has found nineteen in
dictments against citizens of Kansas
for violations of federal statutes
The names of the parties against
whom these indictments are brought are
carefully kept secret by the authorities
pending their arrest, with the exception,
of course, of those who have already
been arrested. These are VIM. Martin
dale of Emporia and the two boys who
were arrested and pleaded guilty to the
charges against them last week. D. NJ.
Davis, the fugitive cashier of the Cross
National bank, is included in the indict-
ment against Martindale.
There were ten indictments in the
batch reported to Judge Hook today
the other ten were reported last Sat
urday- Among them are indictments
for selling liquor without a government
license and for violation of the old in
ternal revenue laws, which are brought
in every time a grand jury sits.
There are other indictments, however
which are not so common. They rela te
to violations of the war revenue law
There are indictments against people for
conducting bucket shops without pay
ing the war tax, and for running certain
kinds of shows which are subject to
tax. Then there are indictments for
filing documents without the war rev.
enue stamp. All of these are new fea-
lures which have never come before a
grand jury in Topeka before.
In discharging the jury, Judge Hook
told the jurors that they had been I'M
usually faithful in the discharge of their
duties, and he thanked them in the
name of the government for the celebrity
with which they dispatched their bust
ness.
