The winter bowling tournament on
the Harvest Home alleys opened most
auspiciously last night. 1t was a gala
night for the devotees of the game.
The parade was a noisy and spectacular
success, and incidentally a compliment
to Bill Fette, the king pin of bowler
dom.
The parade formed at Thirty-eighth
and Jacob streets, where a large crowd
had assembled, and moved over a loop
with Twelfth street as the turning
point, to the Harvest Home alleys at
the east cad of Twenty-ninth street.
1t was a very creditable procession of
carriages, with an abundance of red
light, and two drum corps. Heading
the line were two pin boys in costume,
in a vehicle in which bowling pins and
balls were displayed. Then followed
open carriages occupied by the officers
of the league and Mayor Sweeney; rep
~resentatives of the press, and three car
riages containing the K. K. K. club;
illuminated wagon carrying the All
Rioters team and drum corps; and
wagons conveying the De Shock and
other teams.
The horses attached to the vehicles
carried streamers appropriately in
scribed. The mystic letters *. K. K"
were interpreted by the few who do
not read the Register as mean Ku Klux
Khan. The Korn Kob Klub all wore
the insignia of their organization in
their buttonniers, and their turnout
was extremely swell. One of their
members is a bugler, and he made him
self heard at all times when the drum
corps were not in evidence. At sew
eral points along the route, red fire was
burned from the sidewalk.
Arriving at the Harvest Home, the
warming up" process was first in or
der, and other things than the stove

j%ourned to the alleys, where Mayor
Sweeney sent the first ball a-swishing
over the polished surface with a force
and precision that would have reflected
infinite credit upon an old time bowler.
Meanwhile the Korn Kobs and All
Rioters were getting into form for
their first battle.
The Korn Kobs suffered somewhat
from stage fright in the first game, and
it was not until the second that they
struck their pace. They lost the second
by six pins, but made it a walk-away in
the third. Although they lost the odd
one the Korn Kobs defeated their OPP
ponents by 65 pins in the series. The

A LOBBY THERE.
Said to Be Fighting the Breid-
enthal Bill With $4,000.

The banking lobby opposing the Breiden-
thai banking bill, which passed the senate
yesterday and was taken up by the house
this morning, has been particularly active
among the members of the house today.
c. Q. Chandler, a nephsw of Doc Woods
of the Bank of Commerce at Kansas City,
who is in the banking business at Medi-
cine Lodge, is at the head of the lobby.
He has been here since the opening of
the special session.
There are rumors widely current at the
state house today of inducements offered
by the lobby for opposition to the bill.
1t is said that at the opening of the ses-
sion the lobby had at its back a fund of
$50, ,OOO but whether this has diminished
or not no one attempts to state. The
supporters of the bill will watch closely
the vote on the measure this afternoon.
and no matter how blameless may be the
Populist members opposing it, if any, and
it is pretty certain that there will be some.
criticism from the friends of the bill will
be an almost certain consequence.

MORE JOINTS TODAY
In Topeka Than There Were Two
Years Ago, Says Representa-
tive Marks.

''Doc' Marks of Jefferson county was
not joking when he said he knew every
one of the 21 keys he held up before the
house of representatives yesterday af-
ternoon was a key to a Topeka joint.
'I have found that number at least by
just dropping into the places to take Il
friends,' said he, land God only knows
how many more a man would find if
he started out to hunt them.
1.-TWO years ago joints were thick in
Topeka, and then everybody was howl
inE that it was because of the metro-
politan police law. Last July the Popu-
list convention suspended the metro
politan police law, and when / came
back here this time 1 had considera BILE
curiosity to see what the conditions are.
OF course that wasn't altogether the
reason 1 accepted invitations to drink
with friends and invited friends to
drink with me, but had my eyes open
all the time and I have discovered that
there are more joints running in Topeka
today than there were two years ago.
You start down Kansas avenue and you
meet a friend and he asks you to take
a drink with him. He takes you up
a stairway to a door with a peep hole
and if he doesn't happen to have key
he hammers on the door, man eyes
him through the peep hole and then
let's him in. You go a little farther in
the same block and you meet another
friend who also asks you to take a
drink.
Naturally you expect him to head for
the joint you have just left, but instead
he runs you down a stairway to some
basement floor. Possibly the next friend
you meet who wants you to drink with
him takes you through a cigar stole.
That's just the way it is. Every fellow
has a different joint and they are thick
in every block.
You can't regulate joints and that's
why am 'agin' them. You can regulate
saloons and that is why 1 believe in
repeating the prohibitory law or resub-
mitting the questions. And then fellows
like Larimer prate about what a nice
clean, holy city Topeka is because pro-
hibition is supposed to be i'll force here.
1t isn't in force, never has been in force
and never will be in force Prohibition
in Kansas is absolutely a rotten farce
and that's all it ever will be as long as
the present law is on the statute

Charter to Cost $25.

The house showed increased activity
by meeting an hour earlier this morn
ing. Up to today the hour of conven-
ing since the special session opened has
been 10 O'Clock, but this morning Speak
er Street called the house to order at
o'clock.
Representative Wallace Of Graham
county, an ordained minister, acted as
chaplain this morning, and in his prayer
asked the Lord to turn his attention to
the new state officers and new 1egisla-
tors who were about entering on their
duties, and guide them in the paths of
righteousness. Mr.. Wallace is Popu-
list.
At the opening OF the session the
Cassin bill creating a state society of
labor and industry, which was read for
the third time before the adjournment
last night, was taken up and the roll
called on its final passage. Larimer of
Shawnee and Marks of Jefferson, who
were so widely apart on the prohibitory
question yesterday afternoon, were to-
gether in opposing the Cassin measure
this morning. Both stated that the bill
imposed a greater expense on the state
than the present labor commissioner
law.
The first roll call resulted in but 4S
votes being cast in favor of the bill. A
call of the house was demanded by
Brown of Pratt. and the second roll

TO ENTER CHICAGO.
The Pittsburg & Gulf Going in
Over Its Own Track.

New York, Jan. 5.-President A. E. Still
well of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf
railroad said today:
"Our road will be in Chicago within four
months
by the Alton route?'' was asked.
'tOh, no; by our own line," answered
Mr.. Stillwell. 1--WE have been connecting
all the Port Arthur lines and by building
60 miles of road we shall have a direct
route into Chicago.
LAS short as the Alton?'' was asked.
Possibly not, but much cheaper" was
the reply. ct tried to buy the Alton, but
] had my price and it was not accepted.
Some of our people now think it was
lucky thing that it was not. If we had
bought we could not have used our north
ern route. BY the new arrangement we
will. be able to use that route at a great
saving of money. As ! say, by building
within four MONTHS
