Whites Plug Hat

XTHEN President Roosevelt visited Kansas
w he was the guest of honor ut 4 dinner
given by Topeka newspaper men.
In its account of the dinner The Topeka
Capital made a statement t. the effect that
William Allen White, the Emporia editor, had
worn plug hat on the occasion Of the fes-
tIvitios.
That this allegation resulted in extreme per-
turbation on the part Of White is evidenced
by the telegram he is alleged to have sent his
in Topeka:

take the trouble to destroy these
weeds. Perhaps they did not know

permitted to go to seed. In rev
years It had extended beyond the
South Dakota hills and had reached
the plains. Here its destructive career
began. Like savages on the war;

had spread into North Dakota, Iowa

are somewhat spherical in outline.
The dried plant Is readily broken OFF

Rodriguez is a tamale vender and
is an enthusiastic follower of the

Yesterday he was approached by Ta-
pias, who handed him a Mexican ten
cent piece for one Of his tamales. The
money was good to Rodriguez, but
when he accepted It he could not re-

In favor of President Diaz. This did
not meet with Taplas' approval, as he

CITY JAIL is OVERLOOKING
Two Hundred and Fifty-three Men and
Women Crowded In Small
Quarters

Two hundred and fifty-three men and
women are now confined in the city
jail, the greatest number in the his
tory OF the building, according to the
report OF Jailer McCauley to Chief
Kern, which was submitted yesterday.
Every available inch of space is used
and I'm consequence there is much suf-
fering among the prisoners.
The reason for this large number OF
prisoners is the fact that the police
have for some time been carrying on
a crusade against yeggmen and hobos
with the result that large numbers
of them have been rounded up. 1t is
not thought the number Of prisoners
will greatly decrease In the near fu-
ture, but 1t is probable It will be In
creased, as each day large numbers OF
drunks are being brought In.

WOULD ENLARGE SOUTH PARK
Nearby Residents Want the City to
Buy Adjoining Acreage While
Prices Are Low

That Los Angeles dwellers are on the
lookout for future needs of the city
was made evident yesterday by the
filing of petition, the effect of which
will be, If adopted, to add territory to
South Park.
Nearby residents have asked per-
mission that lands bounded on San Pc
dro street on the west, South Park
avenue on the east, Forty-ninth street
on the north and South Park on the
south be purchased by the city. All
of this territory is to be added to the
park except a 20-foot strip bordering
Forty-ninth street, which is to be used
in widening that thoroughfare. Such
is the wish of the petitioners.
One of the great future needs of the
city VIII be park lands, the petition re-
cites, and the time to acquire them
Is before they enhance in value too
rapidly to be available.
The paper has been referred to the
council, with the recommendation by
the park commissioners that a street
be left ON the northerly side of the
park. The property owners, II is under
stood. are willing to pay part Of this
expense.
