AUDITORIUM AND SEWERS
Are the Things Wichita Greatly
Needs

Vice President z. E Masterman of the
Kansas National bank says that now is
the time for Wichita to get a move on
itself He thinks there are two things
in particular that ought TO be done right
away.
The first thing he would urge on the
city government would be TO construct
some storm sewers that Will prevent the
lakes of water accommodating on the bust
ness streets and In portions OF the resi-
dence portions CT the city. He thinks
the city sewerage is all right but 1t is
insufficient TO carry off the storm water.
Another thing that he would especially
urge is the building of an auditorium
that win seat not less than 5000 people
When asked if he would vote bonds TO
build an auditorium he said he had not
made up his mind as to the bond PROPOSE
ton, but the first thing for the people to
do is 10 determine that they Will have
the auditorium and then figure how 10
build X afterwards. He said Il should be
built OF brick and iron and he fire-proof.
Such a building he thinks would be worth
a good ceal to this city. because there
is no place TO accommodate a large crowd.

Right here cures have been made in

UP TO THE CENTRAL
1T MAY USE THE UNION STATION IF
1T SEES FIT.
PLANS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
But PRESIDENT EGAN THINKS
CENTRAL WILL NOT GO IN.

Proposed Plan of Operation of the
Submitted to the Central Railway
for the Consideration of It's Di-
rectOrs-This. Will BE Given 1t at
the Next Meeting of the Board.
President Egnn Says There Is No
Reason why the Central Should
Give I'D Its Passenger Terminals,
which Are Easily the Most Con-
venientIy Located I'm the City.
The Central of Georgia Railway has
had the plans of the Savannah Union
view of giving it opportunity 20 de-
eide whether it may desire 10 enter
with the other railroads into the use
of the new union station. These plans
will be considered by the Board of Lii
rectors of the Central
1t was reported yesterday that the
Central had accepted proposition that
had been made by the Savannah Union
Station Company, and that it would
use the union station jointly with the
other lines. President John NJ. Egan
of the Central, was asked about this
report.
There is no truth in such report,
said mir Egan. me plans Jf tine Union
Station Company have been submit
ted to the Central. and they will be
considered at the Eext meeting CT the
Board of Directors
Has a proposition been made by
the Union Station Company" Mr..
Egan was asked.
Well, not exactly that" was his re-
ply What we have received is the
proposal plan of operation
"Will the Central use the station
Jointly with the other lines?"
Il do not think it will. The Central
has easily the most conveniently To-
Gated passenger terminals in the city,
and there is no reason why it should
give them up"
The Plant System, the Seaboard Air
Line and the Southern Railway are
the three lines that are to use the
union station, which is now nearing
completion and into which trains will
probably be running by the middle of
next month. A proposition was made
the Central Railway at the inception
of the plan for the erection of a union
station, but the Central did not see its
way clear to entering into the plan, if
1t was to mean the REIMBURSEMENT of
its own passenger terminals. 1t has
been said that an effort was made to
form a combination of the lines for
the use of the Central terminals, but
this was given over

MAYORS WORD GOES.
He Will Sit With Recorder in Case
Against DIR. Warning.

Mayor Myers will sit with Recorder
Myrick when the next case is called
against Dr. T. P. Waring, charged by
Health Officer Drummer with failing
to report a case of contagious disease
within twenty-four hours. In the
event of difference of opinion be-
tween the presiding magistrates the
the opinion of the Mayor will prevail.
On a previous charge of a similar
kind DR.. Drummer was unable to pro-
duce any competent legal testimony
and the case against DIR. Warning was
dismissed, The health officer imme-
diately placed on the docket another
case against the physician and the
hearing was set for to-day. Because
of the absence from the city of coun-
sci for the defense the case has gone
over. 1t is probable that DIR. Drummer
will be out of the city on Friday and
the case may not be called until next
Tuesday. Recorder Myrick left last
night for Liberty county on profess
sional business.
When asked about the case yester-
day Mayor Myers said that it is posi-
bic that he will sit with the Recorder
when the matter comes up for dispo-
sition. He did not care to go into a
discussion of the charges for this rea-
son. The proceeding promises to be
an interesting one and the matter has
already attracted a great deal of at
tention. In the case now on the docket,
and which Mayor Myers will practical
1y decide, DR.. Drummer charges that
DR.. Waring admitted being guilty of
the offense alleged and dated his re-
port of the case back three days. The
health officer has the certificate show
ing that Dec. 1 was changed to Dec. 4.

not very friendly and the Police Court

ton of Mckinley.

James B. Parker or, as he is better
known to his friends in this city, Big
Jim" Parker. the man who is credited
with playing so conspicuous a part in
the events that Immediately followed
the shooting of President Mckinley
by Czolgosz, gave his version of the
affair in Ford's Opera House last night
under the auspices of the Adelphi Club.
He was heard by about seventy-five
members of his race who applauded
him upon his appearance and a num-
Der of times during his talk Parker
was introduced by John w. Armstrong.
The story he told of his part in strik-
ing down the assassin is practically
the same as that printed in the news
papers at the time of the tragedy.
Parker said that for fully five seconds
he alone had Czolgozs in his power
and that had he been let alone for
another five seconds he would have
killed him. He said he was left out of
the trial of Czolgosz because the part
he had taken in capturing Czolgosz
had already conferred too much honor
on negro.
Parker said he did only what any
other man would have done under the
coward, but that if through his act any
good may result to his race he is glad
of the opportunity that was given him
to be of such use.
in his Introduction, in which he gave
a 3rfef sketch of his life, he said he
was born in neither Savannah, Atlanta,
Charleston nor Jacksonville. though
each had claimed him; and further
more that he hardly knows what his
nationality is for on the two sides of
his family no further back than his
great grand parents he counts among
his ancestors an Anglo Saxon, a Cher
okee Indian, a Cuban and an African.
1t is to this mixture of blood that he
accounts for his wandering habits that
finally landed him in Buffalo a short
time before the tragedy occurred. To-
night the Adelphi Club will give him a
reception.

Mrs. Gerken concealed herself in the
dark storeroom, revolver in hand, and
waited patiently for the theft She

while when Williams entered noise
lessly and pulled down two sacks of
-four. At the same time Mrs. Gerken
fired the revolver and the negro threw
up both hands. at the same time shout
ing his identity and begging her not
to shoot again. Williams agreed to

was sent to police headquarters. De-
tective Murphy went to the grocery

gun. The porter will be given a pre-
liminary examination by Mayor Myers
