DosTER APPEALS FOR LEVY.
Topeka Attorney Represents Gambler
Who Is Trying to Enjoin K. c.

Ben Levy, the Kansas City, Kan,
bookmaker who paid the city $4,000
for a years license to run a gambling
establishment, today appealed to the
supreme court from the decision of the
lower court which refused him an in
junction to prevent the city officials
from interferinr with his business.
Levys attorney is Judge Frank Doster.
1t seems that after the city had is
sued Levy his $4,000 license and taken
his money, on July %, 1905, he hired
a building. for which he paid $5, 600
rental. Then the city officials started
in to make trouble for him, and force
him to close up. Levy got an injunc-
ton to keep the city officials from mo-
testing him. When the case was heard,
the injunction was dissolved, and Levy
claimed that the city had got his
money and put him to big expense,
and would not let him run his book
making establishment after all. So he
appeals the case to the supreme court.

FOR GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
Wants Uncle sam to Operate Bath
Houses at Hot Springs.

Washington, Oct. 23.=In his annual
report to the secretary of the interior,
the superintendent of the Arkansas
Hot Springs reservation recommends
direct governmental control of the
springs there. He says:
Experience has demonstrated that
the present system of operating the
baths through the medium of private
lessees is in conflict with public opin-
ion and Incompatible with local con-
ditions, and that the government
should. as soon as practicable, consist
ent with existing conditions, assume
absolute and complete control of the
reservation and operate the bathing.
thereby eliminating the spirit of com
nercialism which is manifest under
present conditions. and. through
scientific equipment, perfection Of
system, order. discipline. and intelli-
gent direction. extend the benefits to
be derived from the healing waters,
with rates adjusted to cover prudent
operating expenses and necessary i'm
prOvements. The present system, if it
ever had any meritOrious features
worthy of consideration, has Outlived
its usefulness and should be supplant-
ed by full government control in the
management operation and super
vision of the baths"

M'CAMISH NAMED
Kansas City, Kan, Gets Assist
ant Attorney General.
Has Been Active In the Temper
ance Crusade.
AN ULTRA VICTORY.
Nay Be What Caused the Joints
to Close.
Attorney General Coleman Is at
Clay Center.
AN ULTRA VICTORY.

Kansas City, Kas., Oct 23.-Wil-
liam H. McCamish, a Kansas City,
Kas.. lawyer, former police judge in
that city. was appointed special as
sistant attorney general for Wyan-
dotte county by Attorney General
Coleman at Topeka today.
Mr.. BIcCamish as attorney has been
assisting the Kansas State Temper
ance union in the crusade against the
joints in Kansas City, Kas. The du-
ties of Mr.. McCamish will be to close
the joints in that city.
The announcement of Mr.. Mccain
ish's appointment came as a surprise
to most people in Topeka. Attorney
General Coleman is at his home in
Clay Center, and has been there since
last Friday. It is understood that he
notified Mr.. McC=nish of his ap-
pointment by mail.
Attorney General Coleman some
time ago commenced custer proceed
ings against Mayor Rose and County
Attorney Gibson of Kansas City, and
it seems that these two officials did
nothing toward closing UP the joints.
It was then decided to appoint an as
sistant attorney general. For some
days it has been practically certain
that such an appointment would be
made. Saturday night the joints in
Kansas City, Kas.s all closed up tight,
1t is reported, though many opened
Sunday. 1t seems that they had re-
ceived a tip of AIcCamish's forth
coming appointment.
Governor Hoch says that he doesn't
know MECHANISM, that he was ap-
pointed through Attorney General
Coleman. He said the appointment
would not affect the buster suits
