CLAUDE TOD LEWIS GUILTY.
Appeal Of lola Jointist to Supreme
Court Results IN a Hard Ruling
For the Kansas JOintists.

Topeka, June 0.-The Supreme
Court laid down some new laws yes
terday on the prOhibitory question. 1t
held that it is not necessary to prove
direct sale of liquor in order to
convict jointist under the nuisance
law. Two decisions with that conclu
sion were rendered, one in each di-
vision of the court. Justice Ellis wrote
long opinion in the Frank Schoen-
thaler case, appealed from Ellis
county. Justice Smith wrote an opin-
ion in the Claude Lewis case from
Allen county. The same point was
involved in each case, and both de-
cisions were identical as to conclu-
siCns and were unanimous. This
means that If a county attorney wants
to he can make the jointists hard TO
catch. The great difficulty in the pro-
secution of liquor cases of all kinds
in the past has been to prove direct
sale. Under the law as laid down
now in nuisance cases the direct proof
of sale is not necessary. If it is shown
that liquor and bar fixtures are kept
at certain place generally known as
drinking place the proprietor can be
prosecuted and convicted without fur
ther evidence This decision was on
the old law. 1t, in effect, sustains
the new Hurrel liquor nuisance law.
The foregoing dispatch from Topeka
tells of the latest squeeze that has
come to the Kansas jointist. The lola
case, that of Claude Lewis, will be re-
membered as starting during X. of p.
week, when Lewis was arrested. Fined
in police court he went to district
court. There the lower court was sus-
tanned and now the supreme court has
ruled. 1t is up to Lewis to submit to
the police court finding now, and a
new light is thrown on Joint trials.

WHY Not a Union Depot 2

The Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe
railroads cross within the city limits
of lola and the new road to be built
this year will pass close by the same
spot. Then why would it not be nice
thing to have all three depots united
into one and thus secure u station that
would be a credit to the town, repre-
sentative of the Importance of the
place to the roads, and less confusing
and more convenient to the public.
The present arrangement makes it inn
possibleto make connections here that
would be possible were all roads ar
riving at one station.

ROLLING MILLS LOCATED.
Lanyon Zinc Company Will Erect a
Plant at Lanyonville and Roll
Output of Lanyonville
Smelter.

Work began last Monday on the
Lanyon Zinc Company's rolling mill.
Mr.. Diescher, member of the Pitts
burg manufacturing company which
secured the contract for the buildings,
is on the ground to superintend the
construction of the buildings. The
new plant will be located just east of
the Lanyonville smelter.
There will be two large buildings,
one 100 by l75 feet in dimensions and
built of brick. In this will be INSTALL
ed the heavy machinery and engines.
The other building will be smaller
and will contain the boilers and store
room. 1t is intended to make sheet
zinc, and the company estimates that
the rolling mill win about consume
the output of the Lanyonville smelter
which operates five blocks. Perhaps
later mill may be installed to make
zinc shingles, but this will not be done
at present. Estimates of the number
of men to be employed vary from fifty
to $50.
lola has believed she had reason to
hope that the works would be located
here, and it seems that there were sew
eral members of the company who
favored putting it here. Two railroads
water, good site andmany other con-
siderations seemed to argue for lola,
but LaHarpe's claim that the
company had more extensive land
interests out east seem to have
been valid.
A REGISTER reporter inquired of
Mr.. Rodgers, jr., that morning if any
thing would be done at the lola plants
and he said extensions would doubt
less be made here.
''The rolling mill will consume the
output of the Lanyonville plant and
as the company does not desire to
drop out OF the spelter market to that
extent two blocks more will probably
be built here soon and more added
until the plants here have been in
creased five blocks. This will require
more roast kilns, of course"
mo, the sulphuric acid idea has
not been dropped. Nothing will be
done for six months, probably, or
until the rolling mill is finished. I ex-
pect to see most of the smelters come
to the acid business sooner or later
and this company expects to install an
acid plant later"
The REGISTER wants to congratulate
LaHarpe on securing so desirable an
addition to her manufacturing inter
ests. And it might be remembered
that some time since this paper made a
guess thatthe rolling would go cas-
and the ulphuric acid plant come here
With seven blocks now operating her,
and five added there would be twelve
blocks requiring greater roasting
capacity and agreater need of asulphu
fume consumer.

About TranspIanting Trees.

Is there anybody in lola who knows
how to set out trees?
Oh yes, that is easy. Plenty of peo-
Pile can take a sprout out ofthe nursery
and set it out in a garden and make
it grow.
But can you go to the forest and
take up tree seventeen inches in di-
ameter and carry it mile, or a humid
red miles, and set it out again and
never rob it of days growth?
Well, that is what man can do
who knows his business. 1t has been
done in New York for Andrew Car
negie. A whole grove of trees, many
of them thirty and forty years old, are
now growing luxuriantly in his New
York park that were brought there,
root and branch, from the borderland
of Connecticut. The secret of the sue
cess with which this was done is re-
vealed in just one sentence of the des-
cription of the process; "ln moving
these trees care was taken not to in
jure the smallest of their twigs. "
Some tree movers seem to think that
tree lives by it's roots alone, and
trim the trunk until not twig is left.
The truth is that the leaves are the
lungs of tree, and are just as neces-
sary to its life as the roots. The less
tree is trimmed when transplanted,
the more likely it is to grow.

Cannot Come TO Town.

1t is good to have factories and a
big payroll and do business whether
the rain falls or the sun shines, but
the majority of the people of Allen
county depend on agriculture for their
living. And lola depends largely on
the welfare of her friends on the farm
for her living. The farmers don't
have to come to town to trade and
bring their produce and any old day
that lola thinks she can afford to dis
regard the good friends of the hard
old times she will regret it.
All of which is simply Introductory
to reminding lola people, tho CONNER
cial club and the business men that
there isn't a decent road east of lola.
Last street from the Pacific crossing
to Richards corner is torn up by the
street railway ditch which has made a
cut Of a foot deep and piled the dirt
at the north side of the narrow road
so teams cannot pass. The south side
of the road is too narrow for two
teams to pass. There isn't team
big enough to draw heavy load down
the street today and it will be that
way until the street railway is finished,
which will be when the ties are laid and
the rails secured, time the duration
of which nobody knows.
East Madison is blocked with cut
hedge fence and the street next south
is blocked with wire by the men who
own that contested strip.

Ann Arbor, Mich, June THE
discovery of new antiseptics, upon
which DIR. Frederick G. Novy and DR..
Paul G. Freer have been working for
many months, is made public. The
new antiseptics are organic acid
hyperoXides. In water solution five
one. e.thousandths of l per cent of
active oxygen derived from the hyper
oxide is fatal to all bacteria. AS
shown by experiments on dogs, it can
be taken internally in large doses
without poisonous effect.

owned a 240 acre tract in the gas belt,
about half way between the two towns
and laid out Gas City. Then he To-
Gated a number of big smelters there,
aud began selling lots. He piped the

ALONG ECONOMIC LINES.
Ph;lipshurg's Lsrrest Mining Com
panv Is Maxine improvements.

Some important changes are being
made at the large concentration being
built at Grapitc by the Granite Bimetal-
tons of the large plant have been torn
down and being rebuilt along different
lines, this being arparsntely due to,
change in the original plans. One of
the south levels Of the Granite mine is
being driven ahead to reach the SUR
face in the immediate vicinity of the
works. The ore for the concentrato tor
that comes frean the Granite mine will
be delivered entirely through this level
or tunnel. This will save the expense Of
hosting to the surface and then deliver
ing over the tramway. This plan was
apparently adopted after the concentra-
tor buildings were well under way and
portions had to be remodeed. The plant
when completed will be one of the most
modern in the country. Wherever it is
practicable the machinery installed will
be automatic and very few men will
be required to run the works. Electric.
power will largely be utilized and sew
eral electric mine locomotives may be
employed in the hauling of the ore from
various parts of the mine to receiving
bins at the concentration. Ore from the
Timetable mine is delivered through
chute extending from the top Of the
dump TO the ore bins. The capacity of
the plant is 500 tons per day. Three
shifts will be emplOyed-eight men to
shift. working eight hours each.--Phil-

We have no contract with the Canadian

desperate effort to get things in shape 1t
it's smelter for the resumption of Optra-
tions about November II, but whether t
will succeed remains to be demonstrated.
1t has offered all of the employees of the
smelter work at the repairing now in
progress, but some of them prefer their
vacation while the furnaces are cold.
The resumption of work at the mines
hinges entirely upon the repair work at
the smelter.
The greatest number OF men ever EN-
poyed at the smelter at one time was
$780, 1t is predicted that the force will
number $500 in less than another year.
