Mr.. Z. A. Rohrbaugh prides himself
very highly on the Sunday school class
that he reared into manhood during the
past years For a long time he taught
a Methodist Sunday school class Of boys.
He says today that he can look around in
this city and see every boy, except one.
of his class in some respectable and
profitable position. This one went wrong
and finally ended up in Jail In speak
ing Of this class he tells of a young man
Who represents a large grade of boys.
This one was fine fellow. but he would
"cut UP" in Sunday school. Mr.. Rohr-
-baugh studied him and finally decided
that the boy simply was high strung and
had to have something 10 do. There
fore. he made him secretary of the class.
For a while this worked spiendidly and
the boy was doing fine. But rs soon as
he learned his duties well the work be-
came easy and he commenced his Old
pranks Of sticking the other fellow with
PIN or hiding his new acquaintance
hat Then MT Rohrbaugh found new
occupation for him and by continually
studying him, he managed him as he
could be managed IN no other way.

Il was a question often asked by the
GentiIes last week II there were any
Hebrews in Wichita who tasted on Tom
Kippur or III. day of atonement for the
Hebrews. This question is easily an
swered for there we're many. Others il
Is true excused themselves in various
ways. some Acknowledged that they
were not religious enough to observe this
day OF fasting. Let II be said here that
the Hebrews day of fasting is quite dif-
ferent from the Gentiles. Not only does
the Israelite not eat any food but he
does not touch water. IL was stated by
a prominent Hebrew here that they were
rot even allowed to wash their teeth
OF chew tobacco for fear that the fast
would be destroyed in as much as their
thirst might be quenched by either action.
Another matter in this connection is thai
wnen any Hebrew Is not physically

RAIDS IN LITTLE CONEY.
CAPTAIN DONOHUE SAYS CASES WILL
sTAND-ONE OF THE wALpRONS
ARRESTED.

Captain Donohue Of the West One-hundredth-
ST. station. last evening took a step toward
cleaning up Of Little Coney Island, which he
promised to do when he took command of the
precinct some weeks ago. Two places were
visited and six arrests were made. The arrests
were made on warrants obtained In the day.
Captain Donohue found IL impossible to OBJ
tain evidence against resorts in the Little Coney
Island district, as his men were so we'll known
that the tip passed soon as they were
seen in that locality Inspector Kane sent two
of his men. Detectives Rosenfeld and Sherry. to
Donohue, and Sunday they started out TO
find vioIators of the liquor law. AS a result of
their Investigations warrants were issued in
the West Side Police Court, and last evening
Morris Lipsehitz, of No. 1851 Madison-ave. was
arrested, charged with keeping disorderly re-
sort at No. 2S39 Broadway. and Edward Wal
dron, of No. 10 West One-hundred- -and-third-st
a charge of maintaining disorderly place
at No PIG West One-hundred~ nd -tenth-st. In
the place alleged to be kept by Lpschitz were
arrested Edward Mullin and Harry Leland,
walters, who were charged with violating the
liquor law. On the same charge In the place run
by Waldron were arrested Charles Ford and
Reyel Durham, walters.
Inspector Kane. Captain Denohue and Detec-
tives Rosenfed and Sherry went first TO the
Broadway place. Word that they We're coming
had preceded them and when they entered the
resort there great excitement. The place
was crowded and as the officers entered there
rush for the doors. The police. however
made attempt TO interfere with business
but served the warrants.
When they came out with their prisoners
crowd had gathered and Little Coney Island
alarmed. Rosenfeld and Sherry pointed
out the men for whom they had obtained
warrants and they We're arrested There was the
same excitement when they visited the next
place. All the prisoners were baied out after
hour and after the arrests the place resumed
business
The police say that they had no difficulty in
getting evidence and promise that the cases
they will bring into court will stand
The arrests were In response to appeals from
the West End and the Morningside and River
side Improvement Associations to clean up
Little Coney Island.
The fight between the Waldron brothers and
the police is an old one Time after time the
police have endeavored 20 close up their dance
hall, but without success.
