WAR ON THEATER.
Bishop GIennon, of Kansas City, OPP
poses Buffers New Playhouse.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 4.-Bishop
Glennon of the Cathedral, has declared
war against the new Butler theater,
which will be ready to open here in a few
weeks, and says if he can prevent it the
place will never be opened under the ex-
listing plans. He has enlisted strong sup
port among property owners in the vi
cinity of the theater for his movement,
which just now is directed against the
granting of a license for the saloon.
which is to be a prominent feature of the
theater.
L make these points, said Bishop
Glennon today: First, there must lie
no saloon in connection with this the
ater. We people of this neighborhood
will not tolerate a saloon here. Eleven
hundred children will lhave to pass near
this saloon on the way to school. Then
this theater is not for the production of
good plays; it is not even for clean
vaudeville. The character of the plays it
is to produce can be designated only by
the vague term .burlesques.' In the
theateI it is proposed to establish sa-
loon, and above the saloon is to be
bachelor quarters We are not so iDno-
cert that we do not know the meaning
of that tern.''

law for letter carriers which during Its
two months operation has caused a deal
of confusion owing chiefly to misunder-

President Parsons read his annual re-

carriers complain of unnecessary hard
ships, was sustained by the department
as against the postmaster, who was in
directly referred to in the presidents

He referred to isolated instances in
which postmasters set up their personal

President Parsons advised bringing
such cases before the department, and If

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Jacob Roller Loses His Life st a
Crossing.

Jacob H. Roller a farmer living about
seven miles west of Topeka was struck
and instantly killed this morning by the
eastbound Union Pacific plug at the Up
degraf crossing about two miles west OF
town. The accident occurred shortly
after eight o'clock.
Roller was driving east in q single
buggy. The train was also going east
bound. The road and the railroad track
at this point form q v shaped angle.
The engine struck the buggy on the
front wheels, killing the horse and
smashing the buggy. Mr. Roller was
struck on the head and nearly the whole
of the back part OF his head was torn
away.
The train was stopped and the body
brought to Topeka where it was placed
in the freight depot Later 1T was taken
to Shellabarger's undertaking rooms on
the North side where coroner's in
quest was held.
Silver Lake was driving about a quarter
of a mile behind Mr.. Roller and says
that there were some men driving just
behind Roller who saw the train and
shouted and waved their hats to him to
attract his attention to the train, but he
did not heed their warning. Mr.. Porter
also says that the train sounded a warn
ing whistle and that he heard it dis
tinctly.
The track at this point is practically
straight and there is no obstruction to
a full view of the tracks from the road.
Mr.. Rollers hearing has been slightly
affected but 1t hardly seems probable
that he did not hear the warning. Some
think that he was SO close when he first
saw the train and that his horse became
unmanag geable and tried to cross the
track.
Mr.. Roller was about rs years old He
wore long gray hair and long beard.
He was the father Of twelve children.
