for violating one of the provisions of an
ordinance OF this city by tying his horse
to one Of the shade trees on public
street in this city; that on being taken
before the police justice, he was fined
$3.50 for this violation of ordinance and
at once paid the same that subsequently
on same day, other parties, as petitioner
is informed, were arrested for the same
offense and turned loose without being
brought before the police justice or fined
for the offense or any proceedings had

thinks, is an act of Partially and in
justice. The law, your petitioner be-
lieves, should apply equally to all. Your
petitioner is entitled to the same rights
and privileges as any other citizen and
no more. II one party is not proceeded
against for violation of a city ordinance
another should not be. Wherefore your
petitioner asks in all justice that these
other parties be proceeded against ac-
cording to law, or else that his money
paid in for fine as above be refunded to
him.
Petitioner further states that his state
ments above made can and no doubt
will be verified by the city marshal and
the police justice of this city.
Very respectfully yours,
G. A. BAILEY.

BRING ELEVATOR
TO WICHITA
Chamber of Commerce CON-
mittee to Meet Today.
TO FORMULATE PLANS
For Securing Cooperative
Elevator for this City.

Der of Commerce has called the members
of the committee on mills and elevators
for a meeting today to formulate plans
for the securing Of an elevator for this
city from the Farmers Grain & Livestock
association which has lately elected Mr.
". ". Culver manager Of the concern
Last week some Of the officers of the
company were in this city to see what
could be done toward getting freight
rates on grain and live stock for this
city, and they stated at that time thai
II favorable rates could be secured the
elevator would be built in Wichita. They
stated that the association controlled
twenty-five thousand cars of grain and
live stock and they did not want TO have
TO pay elevator charges on this amount
OF grain, and were going to build an ele-
vator and do their own cleaning and
grading. and this elevator would be con
structed IL the wheat belt and every
member of the association was in favor
of building it at Wichita if rates over
the railroads could be secured that would
enable them to compete with other
points
Since the officials visit the freight bu-
reaus of this city have been working
with the railroads TO see what assurance
they could get of favorable rates on
grain and live stock out of Wichita if
a certain amount Of grain could be
guaranteed the roads. The Wichita men
stated that ten thousand cars per year
would be shipped out of Wichita every
year if good rates could be secured, and
the elevator committee has been called
together to go before the railroads with
their proposition and then 10 tho Farm
ers Cooperative association and tell
them what has been done, and the mem
bers Of the committee feel confident that
the elevator vii be built in Wichita
