effort to settle a case that would have
puzzled Solomon. Alderman Donohue, who
has a reputation for novel decisions, to-day
made the d~isputants pull straws, and de-

legal precedent for deciding the ownership
OF the kittens, and ordered the two women

Miss Custer won. She will give Miss
Moore a kitten when il is weaned.

New Move by Stewards of the New
York Jockey Club.

New York, April 14=At a meeting
here the stewards of the Jockey club
decided TO establish a bureau of breed
ing and a committee was appointed to
place thoroughbred stations in the
state of New York to be maintained
at the expense Of the Jockey club for
the purpose of improving the breed
of horses in the state of New York.
This is the result of recent confer
ences at Albany between members Of
the Jockey club on the one side and
opponents of racing on the other, it
being asserted that the turf was no
more than a medium of speculation.
This the Jockey club Will now under
take to prove is not the reason for
racing.

By the Kansas state Chess
Foreeaster.


The chess championship of Kansas
has been settled at last for the time
being-the honoFs being won by Major
A. M. Harvey of Topeka. The final
game of the seEies, which was played
at the State Journal Office April II, was
a pretty contest though Major Har-
Vey scored an advantage early in the
game and held it successfully. forcing
Mr.. Thompson to an exchange of the
valuable pieces early in the contest. In
the tenth move the queens disappeared
and one rock in the 18th and the other
in the 21st. Major Harvey essayed the
queens gambit opening but Mr.. Thomp-
son replied with a counter gambit
Which Major Harvey accepted and the
pawn advantage which white thus Sc
cured was held to the last. The game
from the twentieth move was largely
one of pawns and the Topeka player
proved himself an alert general Mr..
Thompson is an excellent chess player
as well as fine gentleman and he took
his defeat good naturedly. He won two
games from Major Harvey and drew
one in playing off the tie from the
state tournament at which he and Ma
jor Harvey each lost two and a half
games out Of 20 played. The trophy
which was held by A. L. Waggenseller
of Junction City thus comes to To-
peka.
Following is the final game of the
series by which Major Harvey won the
championship.

TRADE displays more animation wealth

CARLISLE AFTER GAMES.
Indians Want TO Play Chicago at
Gotham Next Eau.

Chicago. April 14.=Athletic officials
of the Carlisle Indian school have
asked the University of Chicago au-
thorities for a football date next fall.
DR.. Z. J. Raycroft. acting athletic
director at the Midway. received word
from the fasteners Tuesday request
ing a game to be played in New York
next fall.
Whether Chicago will accept the in
vitation to play in the east or will
consent to meet the Carlisle Indians
VIII not be known until Coach Stage
returns from Miami. Fla It is be-
lieved generally that the maroon di-
rector will not accept immediately. as
he is thought to be seeking bigger
game, desiring to play one of the east
ern teams either in the first or second
class.
Indications now point to the fact
that Chicago is working to secure a
big game in the east next fall in order
to fill out the schedule following the
withdrawal of Wisconsin from the list
of games. Members of the football
team and the students in general are
enthusiastic in the agitation for an
eastern game. and unless the radical
ism in the faculty gains the upper
hand game may be a certainty.
