Asked concerning the dropping of the

of his unfortunate connection with the
Shipbullding Company he thought II
would be better 10 drop the bill.
Concerning the reasons for the Am
bier bill. 9fr. Odell said that the Mer-

was thought that after several confer

tion.
Mr. Odell said that Lawyer Colby ana
Mr.. Hyde called on him, and Colby sala
that he wished there might be some way

he THINKS IT'S GOOD
Warden Jewett Talks of the Refinery
Proposition.

Warden z. B. Jewett of the state
penitentiary, who refused to sign the
state oil refinery bonds in order to
make a test case, says that he thinks
the supreme court will decide that the
refinery proposition is valid, and the
bonds good. Mr.. Jewett was in town
Monday to see Governor Hoch about
some pardons and other matters. He
said:
Il don't have much doubt that the
supreme court will decide this bond
issue to be all right. But in order to
get the thing settled, this test case
should be made. I don't know any
thing about what Tom Kelly is going
to pay his lawyers it may be dollar,
or even $3.50; but I propose to see
to it that my attorneys get a good
fee for their services when the next
legislature is in session.
Warden JeWett recommended two
pardons to Governor Hoch. One is
that of E. A. Wilson. 15-year-old
boy from Sedgwick county, who was
sent up for burglary, and has served
six months The other is for William
Howard, who is serving a term for
chicken stealing in Johnson county.
Some years ago Howard was arrested
in Missouri and was likely to be sent
to the Uenitentiary for a short term.
To escape serving a term at Jefferson
City, he confessed to a murder at
Garden City, Kan. He was turned
over to the Kansas authorities and
was tried for the Garden City murder.
He was convicted and sentenced to
hang which means Imprisonment for
life in this state. After he had served
a few months it was discovered that
he had not committed the murder at
Garden City at all. The crime was
fastened upon another man. Howard
was released. He went to the Pacific
coast and remained several years.
Finally he came back to Kansas two
years ago and stole some chickens
and went to prison. The penalty for
! chicken stealing is from one to five
years in prison, under the indetermin-
[ ate sentence act.

LOTTERIES RAIDED.
Federal Officers Begin Active Cam
paign in Frisco.

San Francisco. April 25.-Acting under
instructions from Washington federal
officers today began what is declared to
be an active campaign against lottery
companies Officers connected with the
United States marshaPs Office, secret
service and postof1ice raided the local
agencies of Honduras and Mexican lot
teries and surprised the employees in the
act of handling a large quantity of tick
cts Papers and packages were also
secured as evidence. a number of en-
plOyes were arrested.
Postoff1ce Inspector Monroe said:
I can only say in general that it is
on orders from Washington that I am
working, and that the information got
by the department was from inspec-
tors in San Antonio, in Colorado and
in Louisiana where these tickets are
brought in from Honduras and from
Mexico. Raids have already been made
in Los Angeles and other points"
All the complaints so far have charg-
ed parties with violating the interstate
commerce law, which makes it a felony
punishable with two years imprison-
ment to send lottery tickets from one
state to another.

IT DOESN'T SUIT THEM.
Children at Berryton Object to History
Adopted by State.

In reply to a request for information,
Superintendent Dayhof has informed
County Superintendent Carter of Shaw
nee county that the children at Berry
ton must use the history which the
state has provided.
There has been a lot of fuss at Ber-
ryton about the course of study provid-
ed by the state superintendent, and es-
pecially on the character of some of the
text books. The fight conferred on the
history. At a school meeting an effort
was made to cut out the history alto
gether and this was defeated. The re-
suit was that a number of the Berry
ton pupils were Withdrawn from school.
State superintendent DayhOn saws in
his letter to Superintendent Carter:
"First-Since the pupils are out Of
school, I suggest that you let them re-
main out of school until such time as
their parents see fit to comply with the
plain spirit of the law as expressed in
the statutes concerning Kansas history.
I suggest that you refuse to permit
these pupils to graduate from the COM
mon schools until such time as they
comply with the requirements of the
district board.
s.Second-In case tne. parents Of these
children are not SATISFIED with this po-
sition and desire to go into court on
the question, it is for them to take the
initiative, and not for you. I am salts
fed that no court would reinstate these
pupils, except on the condition that
they comply with the law, as plainly
expressed in the statutes
''Third-In case these pupils were re-
instated by a court and still refused to
comply with the rules of the board and
the statute OF the state they would
then become amenable to that clause of
the truancy law which provides pun
ishment for pupils who are a menace
to the best interest of the school. and
thus that phase of the statute could be
invoked in the punishment Of these
parents and pupils.
There is no just reason why the par
ents of these children should assume
this attitude. These parents are openly
defying the laws of the state, as plain
~ expressed in the statute As long as
a person is openly violating the statute
of the law, or arraying himself in oppo-
sition, he is not subject of any con-
sideration on the part of the authOrl-
ties whose duty it is to enforce the law.
1T is my opinion that these parents
could save themselves trouble. save
their children humiliation and conserve
the school interests of their children by
abandoning the foolish position of ar
raging themselves against the plain
statute of the state. The position they
take is absolutely untenable and you
should protect the interests of the
school and the authority of the district
board, as the statute provides"

STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Montgomery, Ward & Co. Strikers
Could Not Agree Among Themselves

Chicago. April 25.-The teamsters
have called off their strike against
Montgomery, Ward & Co. Refusal of
the garment workers in aid of whom
the teamsters went on strike to be
parties to a fight against only one firm
when they had grievances against a
number led to a disruption of the
committee managing the strike and
the collapse of the struggle
The following official statement was
issued by the committee of the team
sters. Owing to the fact that the
teamsters refuse to spread the strike
to other houses than Montgomery,
Ward & Co., and as the garment work
ers were positive in their belief that
they could not satisfy their members
until the strike was extended to the
larger clothing houses, and since the
committee could not harmonic on
that proposition it was thought best
for the teamsters to withdraw from
the fight"
A committee was appointed by the
labor leaders which will wait on the
employers to obtain their old positions
for the strikers. The committee will
report tonight to a mass meeting of
the teamsters' union.

DWINDLED AWAY.
OF 21s Chinese Arrested All But 21
Escaped.

New York. April 25.-The fruits of
the big police raid upon Chinatown in
which 213 alleged patrons of Fantan,
Pyegow and other gambling games
were hauled into the police stations
faded away in a mystifying fashion
today when the police attempted to
arraign the Chinese in police court.
OF the 213 arraigned only 81 were
held, and in the confusion caused by
the similarity of their faces. three of
the 81 escaped. Eighty-five were re-
leased on bail but it was impossible
to tell whether any of them had re-
turned for arraignment owing to num-
erous substitutions. The 81 identified
were held in $500 bail for further ex-
animation.
sThere is only one man higher up
in the New York police department.
That man is located 800 Mulberry
street and is myself.
This quotation is taken from a for
NAL statement issued by Police Com
missioner McAdoo today in connection
with the gambling raids in Chinatown.
The statement was given out as an Of
fetal denial of allegations that Chinese
gamblers long had enjoyed immunity
from prosecution by paying tribute to
certain officers of the police depart
ment through a man higher up"
