Wichita, KAN, April 10.-One of the
most successful runs ever made by
Wichita automobiles was participated
in by forty of Wichita's most prominent
citizens. The route was from Wichita
to Newton by the way of Hutchinson.
Hutchinson was reached at II a. M,
after a swift run Of hours and So min
utes. The party sat down to lunch at
1:30. Hutchinson was left behind at 8
p. m, and they arrived at Newton about
p. m. Supper was served at the Har-
vey house. All the machines were re-
ported in good order.
The trip was, successful in every re-
spect. There were no accidents, not even
a horse being frightened The credit
for this is given the new siren whistle
attached to Me. WINES car. The whis-
tie IS on the same order as the siren
now in operation on the Howard Mill,
and is run by the fly wheel of the auto.
Scott E. WINES machine was the
highest priced machine in the run, be-
ing a $500 car of 20 horse power and
capable of a speed of one mile in 81 sec
Onds. SO stt
Not a single breakdown or a stop for
repairs was made on the trip.

County Attorneys Peterson Secures
Evidence Against lola Joints.
lola. Kan.s April 10.-Disguised as a
tramp. County Attorney Peterson spent
a night prowling among bootleggers
and gamblers, and secured sufficient
evidence to caase Wholesale arrests,
and expects to convict them upon the
evidence he secured
Complaints have come to him Of the
selling of liquor in a pool hall, but the
county attorney had been unable to get
evidence sufficient to issue warrants.
He went to the place disguised so that
none of his acquaintances even knew
him, and purchased and drank liquors.
Ten minutes later the proprietor and
others who were engaged in selling
liquor were behind the bars.
County Attorney Peterson declares
that in the future all men who are con-
victed of violations OF the prohibitory
liquor law in this county and who do
not have in their possession govern
ment liquor license, will be turned over
to the federal authorities for prosecu-
ton after he is through with them. This
is more or less of a new proceeding in
this county Mr.. Peterson says that the
design of his action is to make it hard
shedding for the various bootleggers
who give the officers so much trouble.
