JOINTS"
ARE OPEN

KANSAS CITY. Kas.. Sept. GA
hundred and fifty odd joints opened
as usual today, despite the attorney
generals suit to oust Mayor Rose for
allowing them to run, to impeach
County Attorney Gibson on the charge
OF accepting five-dollar br' be month
ly from jointkeeper for not prose
cutting him. and TO forfeit the charter
OF the largest city in Kansas.
Mayor Rose views the situation
with equanimity. Personally he ia
yors the law enforcement, but has not
stopped the joints because among 9th
er reasons they contribute Annually
to the city 100000 without which 1t
can not be administered.
Anticipation of the eventual shut.
ting of of this revenue arose recent.
iy and started tax methods which are
designed to give the city sufficient
revenue without tlking the money of
law breakers.
Mayor Rose issued a statement de.
nying the charges catcgorically init.
mating that his Gctivity in bringing
the water company. now an applicant
Tor new franchise, to terms Ia the
motive for an attempt to oust him.
TOPEKA. kas., Sept. 2T.-That the
attorney generals action against Kan.
sas City in the prohibition matter will
make prohibition burning question
again in Kansas is the opinion of well
informed politicians Hitherto It had
been believed that Hoch would not
attempt the general enforcement of
the prohibition law, but now they an.
tcipate an effort to enforce 1t as
strictly as the Sunday closing law is
enforced in Missouri.
Prohibitionists are figuring on get
ting the prohibition question resubmit-
ted TO popular state vote, believing
confidently that It would be so over
whelmingly upheld as to compel Of
fcials to enforce it.

Rammed "A Freight Train.

South bound electric motor car No. ~
was seriously damaged about tour
O. CLOCK Yesterday afternoon by colIidlng
with a Southern Railway freight train
at the intersection of Wilkes aud Royal
streets. The freight train had emerged
from the tunnel on its way to the
depot and was passing Royal street
when the collision occurred. The front
of the electric car was knocked out aud
thrown from the truck and the motor
man, William NJ. Power, was seriously
cut on the head by flying glass and
splinters. He was taken to the Alex
sndria Hospital for treatment. The
other members of the crew and the
passengers escaped injury. The accl'
dent is said to have been caused by the
motor car sliding on the rails after the
brakes bad been applied. 1t is custo-
mary for electric trains to come to stop
before reaching this intersection and for
one of the crew to walk ahead, look into
the tunnel and to the west to satisfy
himself that the track is clear. Had
the electric car reached the intersection
a few seconds earlier Yesterday evening
and been struck fairly by the locomotive
of the freight train there is reason to be-
lieve that everybody aboard the former
would have been killed.

Commotion Among Fishermen.

A letter from ComOrn, Va, says
The fishermen along the Potomac, in
King George county, have been thrown
IN state of excitement and confusion
by notice, or warning, from Maryland
that tie water along King George shore,
where these fishermen are, and long
have been, operating, does not belong to
Virginia. According to the statement
made by fishermen thus notified, 1t
seems that, under the recent survey OF
the Potomac river, Maryland claims
the water and fishing grounds just OIL
the King George shores, of which our
people have had undisputed use and
privileges ever since fishing became a
business here. Some days ago Mary
land lawyer came over and informed the
King George fishermen that their nets
were in Maryland water, according to
the late survey, and that they are hsh-
ing in violation of the law.
1t is held here that if this claim is
valid and is sustained, it will work In
calculable hardship on this country. 1t
would deprive a large and important
class Of good citizens of employment ana
q means of support, and take from the
channels of circulation thousands OF dol
lars annually.

dwelling of Tablet.

The Second Presbyterian Church was
well-flled last night when the exercises
in connection with the unwilling OF the
tablet in memory of the late Rev. ii. o.
Slaymaker took place. The services
were conducted by Rev. F. j. Brooke,
who paid fitting tribute to the deceased
and also delivered an appropriate ad-
dress. The music on the accession was
greatly enjoyed. AS has heretofore been
stated, the tablet is to be placed in the
cabin of the new steamer L1psley,
which is being built in Scotland for mis-
sion work on the Congo.

KILLED by "a Train.

The bodg of Frank De Lane, OF Del
Ray, Alexandria county, was iou1 1 y.
inc beside the railway tracks at Brick
H Haven early yesterday morning The
head and one leg we're severed and the
body was otherwise horribly mangled.
DE Lane went to Washington Saturday
NIGHT 10 attend a theater performance,
and it is presumed that he missed the .
last car for Del Ray and started to walk
home when he was struck by train.
De Lane was about thrty-flve years OF
AGE and he leaves wife and two young
children. The widow is a daughter OF
Joseph A. Kremer, who conducts bak,
ery in Del Ray, and the dead man was
employed by his father-in-law. An 10.
quest is being held over the remains

Paving Bills.

The verdict of the jury 10 deciding in
favor of the defendant in the case OF
Ticer vs. the City Council and the fact
.f Judge Nicol declining to set such YER
dict aside are favOrably commented upon
by many citizens The equities are
strongly upon the side OF the city and,
but for the constitution restricting I'm,
movement assessments, all concerned
would have settled their paving bills
willingly. This is shown by the fact
that the property owners on King street,
from ROYAL to the river, settled their bills
amounting to IS, 3S0.04. The two or
three owners of property on Fairfax street
from King to Printers alley paid 1926
and the property owners on Alfred street
from King to Queen promptly settled
bills amounting to SO, 725, the trustees
of the Lutheran Church asssuminga debt
of 1928 in such settlement. Only re-
Gently Royal, Prince and Lee streets
have been completed, the property own
ers paying their proportiouate share (oe-
fore the work was started) OF something
over 81. 600. On these streets 1t will be
observed nearly $4,000 has been ex-
pended, or paid by owners OF abuttlng
property. The King street work, from
ROYAL to Fayette, exclusive of the amount
paid by the W., A. & Mt. V. Railway
Co., represented an expenditure OF S22,-
317. 55. In distributing the cost an arti'
trary appraisement of benefits OF two
thirds Of the costs was not followed, as
many suppose, and this is evidenced by
the fact that the city was apportioned
S10132.78 and the sbutting property
Sl2.1S477. OF this last named sum
only about 81, 900 is unpaid, and
of this $4,000 notes fer the entire
amount less $266.29, are now
in the hands of the tax collector The
1896. 80 represents assessments on two
pieces of property, one amounting to
$126. 70 and the other 81 80. 80. Those In
Dositjon to know say that the trouble and
law suits would never have been started
Int for a few overzealOus persons who
failed to appreciate the discoufaglng
effects il would have in the efforts to i'm
prove the streets. Indeed, Collector
German stated on the witness stand that
the plaintiff in the suit had expressed no
unwillingness to pay his bill, but not
unnatural desire to recover his money
in case others were not made to pay.
That the property all along King street
has advanced in value since this paving
was laid is claimed and not disputed
That the late State assessment on the
property was increased but little, if any,
is a so not denied. Would it be wrong
for all owners uho have given notes to
pay them, and thus place themselves
with those in the city who have paid more
than $21, 900? Many think this would
be creditable, and would be an example
that would have its effect in the further
Iaying of modern streets.
