MAY POLE STRUGGLE
Freshmen Garry Off the May
Day HonorS.
SOPHS WERE CAPTURED
But Escape by Jumping From
a Window.

The freshmen and sophmores Of the
Friends University pulled of their an
nual scrap yesterday morning. Not a
hitch was there in the arrangements
and everything came in its regular or
der. Several of the freshmen boys came
to town yesterday and rented about forty
feet Of gas pipe. About midnight as they
were bringing it to the university. they
were attacked by acrowd of sophmores.
but the greater number of the freshies
prevailed and their opponents were tied
hand and foot and placed on the ground
with a heavy guard, while the others
worked on erecting the pole. A beautiful
flag Of the class colors, pink and brown.
had been prepared by the girls of the
class and this was put on the pole
raised. The captured sophmores were re-
leased on their promise to be good. But
II seems that as they were going home
some OF their class came along and it
was decided to make another attack.
The freshmen had also been reinforced
and lively tussel ensued. Again the
freshies were victorious and to make
sure Of their men. they tied them hand
and foot and locked them in room in
the north hall, leaving guard. One of
the sophmores managed to unite the
ropes and when the guards were not
looking, made a bold break for liberty.
Jumping from a second story window.
The alarm was given, but no trace could
be found Of the man. Finally the guards
became tired and sleepy and the prison
ers promised to remain neutral until
noon, and they were released. The
sophmores apparently had had enough,
50 the freshman nag remained all day,
proudly Haunting in the faces of the
No one was hurt and every
body was in good humor during the
scrap. 1t IS custom among all of the
colleges Of the United States, for the
freshmen TO erect a Maypole with their
flag and the sophmores are expected to
tear IL down.

WILL GO NO HIGHER
Ice Men Say They VIII Maintain
Uniform Rate

The price OF artificial ice advanced yes
terday to forty cents per 100 pounds and
the manufacturers assert that the price
viii so no higher during the summer.
The manufacturers of ice claim that at
a price Of thirty cents per hundred to the
consumer, there is no profit in the bus
mess for either the manufacturer or the
wagon men in the summer season and
that at forty cents there is only a reas-
enable profit for the manufacturer and
just about wages for the wagon men.
The manufacturers of ice in this city do
not deal direct with the consumer. but
furnish the product of their plant to
men who operate wagons and have a
route over the city. These middle men.
or wagon men, buy the ice at the ice
plant dock and are required to pay cash
for what they want before it is taken
away from the plant The consumer
buys his ice from the wagon men. 1t
takes two men and a team and wagon
a good day to handle a ton Of fee. dis
tributing five cents worth here and ten
cents worth there over various parts of
the city. The wagon men pay twenty
cents at the plant for ice in season, or 81
per ton and they Will receive 30 cents per
hundred or IS for the ton, netting each
wagon 81 for the days work for two
men and a team and wagon or about $50
a day eacn 4or the two men and dol
lar for the team and wagon. An agree
ment IS made between the manufacturer
and the wagon men whereby it is stip-
ulated that the latter viii charge no
more at any time during the season than
a uniform rate. and in this case it viii
be forty cents a hundred pounds and no
more. c. W. Southwark OF the Wichita
Ice and Cold Storage company assured
a reporter for the Eagle that these were
the facts in the case and his assertions
are substantiated by the other manu-
facturers. OF course the law Of supply
and demand primarily governs the price
of ice. as it does with all other cOmmod-
ity. 1t IS the policy OF the several plants

REMARKABLE FISH STORY
Gerald VOIk springs One OF some
Talent

Gerald Volk tells a fish story and per-
sonauy goes on record as TO its veracity.
He says that one day last tweek a party
Of Wichita fishermen, including L. r.
Delaney. Mnt Rudolph, Mr.. Fidler and
Mr.. Bascom of the Rock Island, went out
to Cairo lake On a fishing trip. They sat
on the banks all day long an only caug-.,
two or three usa. AIr. loascom caught
the only bass. an1 it was a small one, so
small that when .e put it in the live box
and put the box back in the water the
nsh slipped through the cross wire net
ting and got away. On the next day after
the railroad fishing party had returned
home, Mr.. volk. c. IL r'ulton and Breu
Dold went out to the same lake and air.
Dold caught the same identical fish that
got away from BascOm. They knew it
was the same fish, because II had a little
piece Of cross wire from the live box en-
tangled in one OF its gills and they had
heard of Bascom catch and the means
by which It escaped. The stigma of tine
hsh that sot away was thus removed
from the record Of the Rock island agent.

READY FOR ACTION
Street Railway Company
Would Give New Light.
WANT ONLY A CHANGE
Have Their Eyes on Some
Oklahoma Towns.

Commodore Nelson has returned from
his trip 10 Ohio and Illinois, better
pleased man ever with Wichita and Kan
sas..
The matter Of his company entering
into the business Of commercial lighting
has been settled and there VIII be in a
very short time. probably two electrical
light plants in this city furnishing light
and there win be a competition that
may benefit the business men and others
who use electric lights.
When asked IN regard TO the matter
Commodore Nelson said that all that was
lacking was TO have the new lighting
company backed with the prestige OF
the gas franchise. He said al the pres
ent time his company was only furnish
ing light for the city. but he would go
into the commercial lighting just as soon
as the city council would grant him
franchise 10 furnish gas
Commodore Nelson came back by way
of ST. Louis. Oklahoma and Guthrie. He
evidently has his eye on those two cities.
He says each Of these TWO Oklahoma
towns have electric light plants but no
street cars. He thinks that If those two
cities keep up their present progress
in growth a street car line would pay
If run in connection with the electric
light plant.
Commodore Nelson cid not say so in
words but a reporter for the Eagle got
the impression from his conversation
that he would build a good street railway
plant in both Of these Oklahoma towns
like the one in Wichita if he could get
a franchise for the electric railways
and electric light plants at the same
time his idea is that only frst-class
electric light and electric street railway
plants can be made to pay. He says
it costs a great deal less to operate a
strictly up-to-date electric light plant or
street railway than an old rattle trap OF
a thing like this city used to have. In
this matter he says the cheapest is not
only not worth building, but the dearest
IN the long run.

Z STATESMAN WAS HERE.
Bankers Magazine Man Tells of the
Outlook.


F. J. Statesman, bushes manager of
the Bankers Magazine of New York. was
here yesterday interviewing Wichita
bankers in regard to the meeting of the
National Bankers Association in Mil
waukee, next August.
The Bankers Magazine IS one of the
oldest financial publications in this
country and it naturally is expected to
know something of the financial condi-
tons of the country. A reporter for the
Eagle met Mr.. Statesman at the Kansas
National bank yesterday. He said he
was on his way to Denver. but he had
visited Kansas every year since 1856. He
said there was more or less prosperity all
over the country, but he considered it
more pronounced in Kansas. The devel-
opment in this state and particularly in
this section of it, he thought phenome-
nal and far exceeding that of any other
agricultural section.
When asked what the outlook for the
future indicated, Mr.. Statesman reflect
ed as # he thought the future held a
problem that would have TO be solved.
He said people are thinking about that.
The best minds of this country, while
not alarmed are trying to read the fut-
ure. He said the combination of the steel
and iron interests of the country is arous
ing a good deal of interest and people
are looking to see what next. He thought
there had always been a tendency in
governments Of whatever form 10 influ-
ence the methods of trade. commerce,
and production, while on the other hand
there had always been an inclination
among organized industries to shape the
policy of the government.
Mr.. Statesman said there was an i'm
preston among the masses that these
a wonderful influence in this government
in shaping it's laws and politics. These
great combinations are taking the place
of individual competition and great in
terests are controlled by one mind. IN
der the old method Of active individual
competition one neutralized the other
and the political leader was supreme. 1t
was different now, he thought. and these
combinations controlled the political
leader and he has become a sort Of agent
for the combinations. The politician has
become the agent OF industry
He thought we We're entering a new
era of Industrial life, but there was no
need to be alarmed. The world is ad-
vancing and there is no need to oppose
a thing ecause It is new. The world is
advancing in intellect as well as in the
modes Of production and there is no oc-
casion to believe that the ne worder Of
things may not be shaped for the inter
ests Of the whole people The people
OF this country viii meet the new pTsb-
lens as they are presented and cross all
the rivers when they come to them.

WAS LONG ON PARROTS

Deputy Sheriff Syi Dunkin IS just now
trying 10 locate who was known as VIII
liam West at Cheney and as Steve
Leatherby at Mulvane. Some of Mr.
Dunkin's friends at Cheney want TO get
out warrant for the arrest Of this man
in Kingman county and they are anxious
to locate him before going to any ex-
pense. The charge against him is obtain
ing money under false pretense.
William T. Westc anne TO Cheney last
spring ard represented that he was from
1IankatO, Minnesota, and that he had
just sold a farm near that place fer S49,
O00 and had left the money in the bank
at Ma1kato he was also the owner Of
a large number Of fine wool sheep and
he wanted 10 buy farm near Cheney on
which TO Craze his sheep. There was an
old soldier or two at Cheney who had
known William F. West in the army.
They had served in the same regiment.
This gave West a standing and he con-
tracted several farms. some Of which
were over the line in Kingman county.
There was nothing about Mr.. West that
ought to have aroused suspicion. He
of the people of whom he contracted
land to be repaid when his money ar
rived from Aiaukota- He also had a
pleasant habit Of promising to make
presents to the families of the men Of
whom he borrowed small amounts. He
promised several new dresses and suits
of clothes and several parrots that were
famous linguists. They could talk all the
languages TO suit the persons TO whom he
intended TO give them
Deputy Sheriff Dunzin says that his
friends at Cheney do not want their
names published in connection with this
story unless they can hnd their former
friend, West He came TO wichita one
day with one Of his victims 10 meet his
family and several car loads of sheep
that he expected to arrive here from
Minnesota. They went to the Santa lie
depot where Mr.. West was taken i'll. lis
Cheney friend went out TO hunt for
physician and when he returned his friend
West could not be found. That was
few days before Easter Sunday There
were broad hints of foul play at the time
but it was afterward found that West
took the next train for Nulvane where
he repeated his story about the sale Of
the farm.
1t was rather singular that a man
would attempt the same game in two
towns so close together. but he made it
winner Strange as il may seem when
he went TO 1Iulvane and said his name
was Steve Leatherby, an old soldier at
that place knew Steve like q book. Stew
reminded him of so many circumstances
u their service in the same regiment that
The 1lulvane man remembered him dis
tnctly but now he is wondering how he
aid it,
The contracting Of the farms and the
1ra missing OF presents among which the
parrots were conspicuous was repeated at
afllvane. Nobody seemed to doubt the
integrity of steve Leatherby. 1t was
only another evidence of the fact that
honest people are less likely to suspect
double dealing in others. zone day M
Leatherby told his AIulvane friends that
