A MEETING FOR BUSINESS.


Monday evening, the 9Th, was
the regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial Club. 1t was a
warm evening, but the club
rooms were very pleasant. Go
ing over about 8 O'Clock the
DEMOCRAT reporter found he was
early, and sat down to peruse
the July Munsey, in a quiet
corner.
The story was interesting, and
we might have been following it
yet, if the business of the club had
not taken our attention. With
fifty odd members assembled,
the worthy president asked the
secretary to read the minutes of
the last meeting. Then reports
from the committees were heard
and discussed.
The committee on general
good OF the city reported that a
couple of additional sprinklers
would be put on the streets dur
ing July and August; that the
council had agreed to regulate
the saloon business again and
eliminate the reckless, disgrace
full aftermath of the Carrie Nation
craze; that the county commits
sioners had agreed to join with
the city in purchasing road
roller; that a number of public
closets for the convenience of
people coming to the city would
be built, and that a general cut
ting OF weeds, cleaning OF back
alleys and side streets was in
progress. In discussion of this
report it was developed that the
general move of the club men,
bers had induced the Water Sup
ply Co. to increase its pumping
facilities, and that there would
be plenty of water now to save
the lawns and shade trees.
Members suggested that the
matter of city ownership of the
water supply be taken under
consideration, and a committee
was named to look the matter
up.
The committee on new indus
tries and enterprises reported
that plans were being prepared
for the erection of an auditorium
to seat, 5000 people; that CAPT
tai was being interested in a
health resort, or sanitarium;
that another large Touring mill
would likely be secured for this
city through it's influence; that
the Mo. p. would extend it's
track south to the Santa Fe to
get the business of all mills and
elevators; that all club members
had pledged themselves to work
for the better success of the Cen
tral Normal College, and that
the roads and bridges leading
into Great Bend would be looked
after and put in better shape
before the farmers commenced
hauling in their grain. In the
discussion of these reports the
members were of a unanimous
belief that there should be a
little more attention on the part
of the business men given to the
newspapers OF the city; that the
papers which were not willing to
work for the general advance
ment of the city, it's financial
interests and upholding, should
not be patronized by the bust
ness men; that thugs, crap.
shooters, grafters, gamblers
bootleggers and cranks of al
kinds should be suppressed, and
all business men give their fret
support to the officers in riddine

WANTS PATROL BOXES.
Director Wormser Would Also Like
to See Some "Street Cells" In
stalled in the Suburbs.

Director of Public Safety Wormser
has decided to ask for an appropriation
for the purchase and installation of Il
number of new police patrol boxes. The
director believes that the patrolmen in
he outlying districts of the city should
he able to communicate with police
headquarters at any time. and feels
that the installation of at least a dozen
new boxes, With telephone attachment,
to be an absolute necessity.
The director would also like to see
several of the police "street cells used
in certain parts of Philadelphia and
other cities, put in use here, but he
will nos specifically ask for a sufficient
appropriation to install any of these,
leaving this TO the discretion of certain
of the councimen, whom he has inter-
ested in the idea.
The street cell'' is a steel box. which
is erected on the street. and which is
just large enough to hold Il man stand
ing up. They are generally erected on
posts which are a great distance from
the police station. If Il patrolman ar
rests Il drunk or any other prisoner,
he walks him over to the street cell, -
opens the door and locks him in. call
ing up headquarters on signal box
attached.
He then goes back on his beat and
"headQuarterS' does the rest IA patrol
wagon being sent out Immediately upon
receipt of the call. The policeman who
goes on the wagon has a key TO the
street cell'' and he bundles the pris-
Oner in and takes him to the station.
such an arrangement would be Of srea t
service i'll certain isolated parts of this
city, which are left without police pro-
lection for II considerable length of
time in case the patrOlman on duty
makes an arrest.
