ODD PEACE OFFICIAL
KANSAS JUSTICE HOLDS COURT

Lawyers Strictly Barred from Place
Unique Jurist is Six Feet Seven

Topeka, Kan.--With his anvil for q
bench, his sledgehammer for a gavel.
and his blacksmith shop for court
room, Frank Jacques. Justice of the
peace at Elmont, village seven
miles north Of Topeka, presides over
what is perhaps the most unique
tribunal in the world.
Standing six feet seven inches tall,
weighing 4S2 pounds, Justice Jacques
is commanding figure, and when his
lionlike voice utters an edict, prompt
obedience of such edict is then in
order.
One of the peculiarities OF this re.
markable man is the fact that he does
not permit lawyers to practice in his
court.
"As peace officer" philosophizes
Justice Jacques, my first duty, as ]
see it, is to promote peace, and as
lawyers and peace are not mixable
quantities, have barred the lawyers
in the interest of peace
Justice Jacques has for long while
been the village blacksmith and horse
shoer at Elmont, and his phenomenal
strength enables him, when occasion
requires, to conquer the most refrac.

floor and sitting on him while an as.

FRANK JACQUES.
(ksnsas Justice Who presides Over
Most Unique Tribunal.)

In horseshoeing shop, but Justice
Jacques is an exception to the rule,
for he is highly educated. He is an
omniverous reader, devoting the
greater part Of his leisure to high.
class literature, and he has written
several important articles on social
and industrial topics.
Mr.. jacques was not candidate for
the office which he now holds, but
was drafted by the people OF his town
ship In a nonpartisan movement, and
his election was unanimous. For some
time there had been more or less
petty litigation of neighborhood
character in Elmont, and as matter
or civic pride some of the leading
citizens started boom for Jacques
believing that he would be able TO
WELD peaceful influence and pro.
mote the community spirit. He took
charge of the Office January | this
year, and since that time he has ami.
cably adjusted several local feuds of
long standing.
On the dlngy walls OF the combined
blacksmith shop and courtroom there
are several placards bearing signlti.
cant inscriptions. One of these reads

As to the Third House.

President Mellen, OF the New
York, New Haven and Hartford,
continues 10 show signs of that
frinlness which, we believe, must
sooner or later characterize all the
dealings of public service corpora
tons. In a new letter on the pro-
posed merger of his road with the
Boston and Maine, he says:
Personally. I am an earnest believer
in the officers Of companies like our
own appearing In person before legisla-
tive committees in advocacy of needed
legislation, and I hope TO make The de-
partuTe on this occasion of diScO1tinu-

Members Of the third house
may find in this some indication of
the approaching dissolution of their
beloved institution.
