The LeaVenWOrth Truants Must
Attend School Hereafter.
Board Of County Commissioners
Appoints Two Officers.
MANY GUILTY ONES.
In One District Only Thirty of
Population of 1870 Attend.
Said That in the County Alto
gether 400 Pupils Are Out.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 3.-The
board of county commissioners of the
county of Leavenworth appointed tru-
ancy officers to look after the children
of school age in Leavenworth county
and from now until the close of the
school year there promises to be a
hurrying and skurrying among chill
dren and parents; either lodging the
truancy officers or hiking off to school.
The county board confirmed the ap-
pointments made by Superintendent
ray, for the First district, which COM
prises all of the schools north of Leav-
enworth and T N. Beckey of Sherman
township to look after those of school
age who are not attending school in
the southern portion of the county.
In proof of the statement that Off
GERS to look after truants in this cOun-
ty are badly needed Superintendent
Gilman states that in district No. last
year out of 100 scholars of school age,
as given by the census enumeratOr,
but thirty attended school and in an
other district it is known that forty
children of school age fight shy of the
institutes of learning.
Notice will be given parents or guar
dams and if, within five days the child
fails to report at school state war
rant will be sworn out for the parent
or guardian by the truant officer who
will then prosecute the case.
Teachers hereafter must make out
reports of the number of pupils in
their schools each month before the
county superintendent gives them their
checks for their months work.

DRAW THE COLOR LINE.
PRomot Bar Bouts Between Ne
groes and White Men.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Managers of Chicago
boxing clubs have drawn the color line.
Not that they bar colored pugilists from
appearing, but hereafter a white man
will not put on the gloves with negro
in a local ring. Colored boxers will be
matched with men who were born that
way, and fighters of Caucasian per-
suasion will be similarly as clannish.
Mixed bouts have occasioned trouble
more often than not in the experience
Of many fight promoters. The idea of
colored man winning from a white is
distasteful to most followers of the
sport; the victory of a white man is re-
garded as eminently proper, provided
the colored man puts up enough of a
front to afford a good exhibition.
Managers of colored boxers have COM
planned repeatedly that their charges
have not been dealt with fairly; that
they have been Disseminated against on
account of their color. There have been
bouts in which a colored boxer clearly
outpointed his opponent but was only
given a draw.
This dissatisfaction has led to an un-
Outstanding among the Chicago pro-
moters that they will not hereafter per-
NIT a colored and a, white boxer to go
on in the same bOut5. --s

gents has been started over the appoint
ment Of Ed Cochems as assistant foot
ball coach and "Howdy' Cassoboine as

consin. So far Cassoboine's name has
not been mentioned, but the fact that
the faculty board of athletics refused to
confirm his appointment and sign con-
by the athletic council makes ii look a
If fight would be made on him also.
1t is not apparently SO much Objec-
ton to the appointment of these men as
it is a personal fight for the control of
all things athletic at the university.
Captain Abbott of the football team
and himself one of the student members
sorely disappointed over his failure to
get the appointment of assistant football
coach. is said to have held up the con-
irmation of Cochems appointment. He
is, it is said, being assisted by a mem
Der of the faculty, who is also meElber
of the board. The professor is SAID to he
making the fight on Cochems simply as
a slap at two members of the council, 10th
of whom have been warm supporters of
both the baseball and football teams
for several years and who threaten to

LAWRENCE TO QUIT WALKING
Still Another Electric Street Railway
Scheme Is Being Agitated.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 3.-Lawrence is
to have another trial at securing an
electric street railway system Mr. F.
A Sharpe, the representative of chi
cago capitalists, has filed an application
with the city council for a franchise for
the furnishing of light, heat and power
for the citizens of Lawrence. This
means the consolidation of the gas and
electric companies as well as the con-
troll of the power from the dam. The
application came as surprise to the
citizens of Lawrence. There have been
engineers here looking over the dam,
and a man has been here for some time
securing options on the right of way for
a street car line. but nothing DEFINITE
was known of the plans until the ming
of the application for the franchise.
Mr. Sharpe said that all the com
pany wanted now was perrnise'or FL
the city to erect poles and wires. The
plans are all laid and the entire matter
has been figured out. If a street car
line is put in, it will connect the univer-
sity and Haskell Indian institute with
the city A line will also be built out
to the southwest of the city and it is
proposed to put in a line to Lakeview,
where a sort of summer resort will be
arranged.

:the Continent in Fast Time.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Plans are being
made for a transcontinenta1 trip across
the country from San Francisco to New
York, with Bert Holcomb, of Hartford,
as the probable record breaker. Hol-

new car he can negotiate trip across
the country in fast time.
AS at present outlined the trip will
start about June 1, and the running
will be night and day until New York
is reached. Holcomb is of the opinion
thet unless delayed by accident, he can
make the trip in about 400 hours
A number of experienced long-dist-
ance operators at the automobile show
recently were inclined to smile at the
idea of such fast time being possible.
but Holcomb declares that with the
right men and anything like favorab BILE
weather conditions, he can make it.

FIGHT STOPPED BY POLICE.
Cane Has Ward Staggering About
the Ring at Detroit.

Detroit. Mich. Feb. 3.-Joe Cans, the
lightweight champion, last night den-I
onstrated his superiority over Mike
Ward, the Sarnia, Ont, lightweight
champion of Canada, in so decided
manner that the police stopped the bout
at the expiration of two and one-haf
minutes of the tenth round. Ward was
just able to stagger about the ring,
and another of the punches Cans had
been raining on his jaw would have
put him out. Ward was so badly beaten
that it took his seconds over an hour
to thoroughly revive him, after he was
led to his corner There were 5000 per-
sons in Light Guard armory when the
bout was called. Cans ruled favorite
at 10 to in the betting. which was
brisk. Both men were in splendid con-
d1tion. Ward started the fight with a.
rush and landed effectively on Cans
stomach throughout the first round, in
which the Canadian had slightly the
better of it. In the second round Cans
began to land on Wards jaw, and from
then until the fight was stopped the
champion kept Wards head bobbing
back with his punches.
Ward showed well in the last minute
of the third round, and neither man
had decided advantage during this
period. Cans, however, had a decided
lead from the third round to the end
of the fight. Ward tired perceptibly
in the fifth and sixth rounds, but re-
cuperated somewhat and fought
stronger III the next Two. GdnS, now
ever, continued to show his superiority
over the young Canadian. In the ninth
round Cans knocked Ward down with
terrific right swing on the jaw and
almost put him out. Ward took the
count and the bell saved him. He came
UP for the tenth very groggy, and Cans
punched him in the jaw almost at will.
Ward was so hopelessIy beaten and SO
evidently suffering that the police or
dered the bout stopped. Cans would al
most certainly have knocked him COM
pletely out in the next thirty seconds
had the fight not been stopped.
