only a month, and yet they knew enough
to stay OFF of the main streets.
The chief Of police and the police judge
have been trying to reason with the peo-
pie that this ordinance regarding the
riding of wheels on the sidewalks at any
time except when the streets are impas-
sable is q necessity and must be enforced.
but it seems that the measures heretofore
used have not had any effect and they
have determined that the matter has
gone far enough. Now, If the people Of
Wichita want to ride on the sidewalks"
said Mr.. Burt, they must repeal the
ordinance which is on the statute books"
Until that is done, Mr.. Burt says he
viii lock each offender up as soon as
caught and he must stay there until the
police court says what he shall do. No
wheels will be taken as bond and no len
iency win be shown towards anyone, as
everyone knows by this time that it
is an offense and should obey the law
just the same as any other law. It is
not the desire Of the police TO make
money in this way, neither is it the de-
sire TO cause anyone undue trouble, but
complaints come into the station every
few days about wheel riders who have
ridden down children or have ridden like
the wind past other people. This is dan
gerous, they say, and not to be tolerated,
and it is TO stop the abuse of privileges
that stringent measures are taken by the
force. Bicycle riders frequently assert
that they have no protection and that the
pedestrian has all of the advantage.
They say that people are allowed to
break bottles in the streets and to cause
injury to them or their wheels by other
means, that they are frequently forced
out into the gutter by passing teams,
the drivers OF which have no regard for
the rights Of a wheelman and do not give
to it its share Of the road. It IS Ia
mentable fact that such is the case, as
many have testified. Police Judge Stan
ley said last evening, when these things
were called to his attention. that it was
his desire to be perfectly fair to all
and that he would see to it that any
wheelman would have his just dues who
would swear to any such charge and that
he would see to It that he had his just
share of the road whenever it was n his
power to do so. The aim of the entire
force is TO secure perfect fairness and
justice to all and they insist that riding
wheels on the sidewalks must stop. Here
tofore many working girls and others
have been let OF pretty easy, but fair
warning is given and the word has gone
out that they must stop.
Ross Winegand was arrested last night
by the police for riding on the sidewalk.
He was locked up in the hold-over to be
tried this morning at, 10 o'clock. He was
caught riding on the walk on Waco ave-
nue.

MUST LOOK OUT.

Wheelmen Must Stay off From the
Sidewalks.
Yesterday two boys were fined 81 each
IN the police court for riding on their
wheels on the sidewalk. The police Judge
gave them a lecture that they win not
soon forget. It was not a raking. such
as one would expect criminals to get. but

others riding ON the sidewalk they con

tending school and had been in the city

EPvsCopALIAN cDNcLAvE
Much 'Oratory Develops over Adds-
ton TO Article x.


San Francisco, Oct. Yesterday
was a day OF oratory in the house Of
deputies Of the Episcopal con-
vention The debate. which began
last Saturday on the proposed addition
to article x Of the constitution, pre-
soribing the form OF worship, was
continued all day, and resulted In ifs
adoption. As adopted it is as follows
"But provision may be made by
canon for the temporary use OF old
forms and directories Of worship by
congregations not in union with this
church, who are willing to accept the
spiritual oversight Of the bishop OF
the diocese or missionary district"
The debate was very animated, and
until the result was made known it
was the prevailing opinion that the
vote would be much more evenly di-
vided than 1t was. IL was strongly
urged by the advocates Of the pro
posed change that it's adoption woua
open the way to great increase In
the membership OF the church, while
its opponents regarded it as too radi-
cal an innovation.
The house of deputies adopted the
amendment to article |. section 10, Of
the constitution, already approved by
the deputies, which in effect makes
the presiding bishop Of the church
elective for term of three years by
majority OF the bishops. 1t was
voted, in view of the growing import
ance of missionary work in China, to
divide the district OF Shanghai into
two departments, to be known as
those Of Shanghai and Hankow. The
bishops considered a number of re
ports and transacted much routine
business.
The Daughters Of the King elected
council and decided to hold meet
ings triennially hereafter, preferably
In the convention city.
The American Sunday School Insti
tute elected Bishop Tabor, of central
Pennsylvania, president, and retained
II. L. Duhring, Of Philadelphia. as
secretary-treasurer Its sessions were

Novel Racing Proposition.

London, Oct 5.-There is a feeling
of supreme disappointment in London
over the failure of the Shamrock II to
win even a single race. Those who
denounced Sir Thomas Lipton's am
bition, asserting that he was using his
yacht to advance his business interests,
now realize that his sportsmanlike
efforts deserved a better result.
The question Is much debated here
as to whether the defeat OF the chal-
lenger was due to the superiority of
American seamanship or the better
constructive ability of the Americans.
With view of settling the question,
the Daily Express has cabled Commo-
dore Morgan and Sir Thomas Upton
suggesting that they should arrange a
race with the Columbus crew on board
the Shamrock IL and the crew OF the
challenger on board the defender.
"All weathers seem alike to the Co
lumbia," says the Daily Telegraph.
From whatever quarter and with
whatever velocity the breeze may blow
and whether the sea be smooth or
lumpy, the Columbia sails along
proudly and serenely, ready to hold
her own with any white winged ship
that skins the ocean. But the differ
ence between the two yachts is so ex-
cesdingly small that praise of the Co
lumbia is praise Of the Shamrock, too. !"
