c. E. Faulkner, formerly superinten-
dent of the Kansas state school for the
blind, and now superintendent of the
Washburn Memorial Orphans home at
Minneapolis. Mimi, has written to the
Kansas state board of control for in
formation concerning the operation of
the juvenile court law in this state. He
asks whether, In the opinion of the
board, the Juvenile courts should be
given criminal jurisdiction, so that they
can punish the parents of children who
fail to give children proper treatment.
At the present time the Kansas juve-
nile court law does not make any such
provision. II the parents are guilty Of
misconduct they must be attended to
by the regular criminal courts.
Some of the members of the Kansas
board of control are in favor of the es-

and secured an injunction to prevent
their continuation in the business. The
CleeveIins seemed to think that lit
tie matter of an injunction didn't
amount to much. and they apparently
went ahead with their liquor selling.
Banks followed up his case with a
prosecution for contempt of court, and
the Cleevelins hired a number of law
yers and made hard struggle. The
outcome of the suit was a complete de-
feat for the Cleevellirs. John Cleevelin
was fined $500 and sentenced to 80 days

CANCER DooroR AprEALs.
Was Convicted in Franklin County of
Practising Without License.

Joseph Huff. who it is claimed doc
tored cancer for people in Franklin
county without getting q license to
practice medicine from the state board
of medical registration and examina-
ton. appealed his case today to the
Kansas supreme court from the district
court of Franklin county where he was
convicted and sentenced to pay fine
Huff. in his own testimony, did not
claim to be a doctor. He said he was
4 farmer, and that the medicine which
he used in treating cancer he made
out Of YARDS" gathered on his own
farm He said he did not get pay for
his services, and had treated 50 or rs
cases.
Other witnesses. however, testified
that HUFF took cases on a contingent
fee of 500, the money to be paid in
case of a cure. In some cases, the
patient paid part of the money before
the cure was made.
In the lower court Huff's attorneys
made a hard fight for a new trial on
the ground that the jury had misun-
derstocd some of the instructions of the
Judge but the judge held that his in
structions were all right. The supreme
court will now have a chance to pass
its opinion on the instructions.

Bashford, of the Methodist Episcopal

before the senate committee on immi-

boycott against American goods.
China is now, he said, where Japan
was twenty years ago, and he pre-

foreign trade within the next few
years. He thought the most of this
could be secured by the United States
If our exclusion laws were slightly

He said that the Chinese people
were friendly to the United States but
exaggerated reports of ill-treatment
of Chinese in this country led to the
boycott, the purpose of which was to

Hall.

John Buchanan, president of the
board of public service. had a rather
hot interview with City Auditor Ash
brook yesterday afternoon. The rea-
son given for the quarrel is that Ash
brook would not pay a bill of $43
which the board incurred in their re-
cent trip to Cleveland. The auditor
claims that according to the law 1t is
Illegal to do so. but the board says
that as they saved the city some
money on the trip by going they
should be paid, otherwise they will
have to pay the money out of their
own pockets.
