character were held in each of the
public schools in the city today. as they
were in all of the public schools Of the
state, COMMUNICATING the one hun
dredth anniversary Of the first unfurl-
ing Of the flag of the United States in
Kansas. This was accomplished by
Zebulon Pike on August %. 1905, at
Pawnee village in Republic county,
during the course of his march which
resulted In the discovery of Pixies
Peak. Pike found a Spanish flag float
ing over a Pawnee Indian village and
ne conviI ced the chiefs of the tribe
that a. United States flag properly be-
longed there and the Spanish flag was
furled and the stars and stripes flung
to the breeze in its place.
Although the hundredth anniversary
of this event does not occur until to-
morrow the exercises were held in the
schools throughout the state today be-
cause there will be no school sessions
tomorrow. In the local schools some
of the exercises were held this morn

take place until this afternoon. The
exercises in the high school were held

dress was delivered there by Mrs
Margaret Hill McCarter. In several of
the other schools addresses were deliy-
cred by prominent Topekans. Capt
Clad Hamilton spoke at the Sumner
school.

road Tebating I had lived to see virtue

It was after dark when I got into
town, and what was my surprise to find
that old smiling and bland was selling
my Alleviator on the public square and
passing himself off for me. I gave him
more rope, and then at q critical juno
ture closed in on him. When the pop
ulace found that 1t had been deceived
there was no more work for me to do.
The people did it themselves. During
the fervid excitement I managed to
turn the victims pockets wrong side

biggest trfunphs of the decade. It was
almost as good as uncovering the opera

couch amid the piaudits of the multi

cash. When I did so I found that not

had forty dollars belonging to the bland

it an original proceeding before the high
est tribunal in the state.
Endelman's attorneys claim that the
license ordinance is invalid, because it is
contrary to the constitution of the Unit
ed States, being in restraint of trade, op-
pressive and discriminatory. They claim
that the real purpose Of the license fee
is not 90 secure revenue for the city, but
to prevent the competition Of transient
merchants with the regular merchants
of the town. EndeIman admits that he
located in the town only temporarily,
and that his home is Dayton, Ohio
This case will raise the question
squarely as to whether the various city
councils of the state have a right to tax
a transient merchant out Of business.

in the American League the Chicago team upset
all calculations by winning the pennant. The con-
was within striking distance of the leaders until
october 3, when q defeat at Philadelphia put the
team out OF the running.
An equally hard struggle for second place in the
American League was not decided until two days
later, when Chicago defeated Cleveland and took
York. The fourth and fifth teams, Philadelphia
and St Louis were within hailing distance through
out the season. Philadelphia, in fact led the
league on three separate occasions, the last time
no later than August 5. Washington and Boston
dropped behind early in the
work the chief feature of the season was the hard
struggle for second place between New York and
Pittsburg. This lasted until the first week in Sep
tember, when the latter team fell back
The other clubs in the league occupied the same
relative positions throughout most of the season,
although Brooklyn and Cincinnati finished with
only one game between them for fifth and sixth

DROP PELHAM COURSE.
Oarsmen Think Clubs WiU Stick by
Harlem RiUer.

The reported abandonment of the protected
Pelham Bay rowing course was the principal
topic of conversation yesterday In rowing cir
cles, 1t is said that the persons who were ex-
pected to do the most work toward the estab-
lishment of course at Pelham Bay have only
shown q passive interest. The National Asso-
citation Of Amateur Oarsmen once considered
the course Of so much Importance that a spe-
cial committee was appointed to help the scheme
along. but oarsmen said yesterday that the COM
mittee did little except to offer few sugges-
tiOns.
There are still those who advocate the Pei
nam Bay course, however. 1t was argued that
Tor years there was talk of abandoning the old
Morris Park racetrack before 1t was actually
done. and many oarsmen said that 1t might be
years before the Pelham Bay course an
accomplished fact. but that It will eventually
come was the opinion of many.
Other courses that have recently been talked
of are at Van Cortlandt Park and on The Bronx
River. but there are countless objections to
both, and there is little likelihood that either
place viii be the scene of championship re-
gatta.
Oarsmen are unanimous In tho opinion that
rowing on the Harlem River is fast becoming
dangerous sport. 1t Is easily accessible TO
Manhattan aquatic enthusiasts. but traffic on
the river Is increasing yearly, and a novice is
forced TO pay more attention TO tugboats and
scows than TO the actual work or rowing
There are some old sculleTs who go so far as
to predict that 1t is only few years before
many OF the Harlem River clubs VIII have
moved to the Hudson River or Flushing Bay.
ON the Hudson oarsmen are handicapped by
the rough water. and II is a long trip from the
city to Flushing Bay. With THESE ooJeetions
against the two courses II is believed that the
clubs Will remain on the speedway course as
long as they possibly can.
The membership of the National Association
OF Amateur Oarsmen is steadily increasing.
