DANCING PARTY'S
COMPLICATIONS
A Final Airing Was Given This
''S0ciety" Event in the
City Court
ATTORNEYS AT VARIANCE,
AND BATTERY AND HOMER
DRAPER FOR SELLING REvoLv-
Err UNLAWFULLY.

Prosecutor Jessup and Attorney B.
c. Robbins in the city court INDUCED
in an argument as to whether testi
mony should be introduced in a case
where the accused had entered a plea
of guilty. Mr.. Robbins maintained
that it was a useless procedure and
the prosecutor said that it was custo-
mary in many cases so that the court
could judge on the gravity of the of
fense.
Cause of the Argument.
The dispute arose because a witness
in the case of Will Ryle, coIored, testi-
fled that Ham Thomas, colored, was
present at the time Ryle committed
rying a gun. 1t so happened that Mr.
Robbins was appearing for Thomas,
who was in court charged with carry
ing concealed weapons. Judge Con
verse ruled that testimony could be
introduced in case where the accus-
ed plead guilty whereupon Mr. Rob
bins instructed his client to take the
stand and tell everything he knew.
However the legal spat proved 70 be
for naught as when Thomas was ar
raigned the prosecutor stated that he
was a good boy and moved that the
case against him be dismissed. The
court took this action.
Ryle Given Fine.
Ryle was fined So and costs for
breaking a beer bottle over the head
of one Howard Hiatt colored, Satur-
day night. One witness testified that
after Hiatt had been hit he went to
his knees. jerked his hands out of his
coat pocket and discharged a revolver.
whereupon those present at the dis
pute went south,' which is a slang
phrase for "skidooed."
Draper is Also Fined
1t so happened that the gun which
exploded in the hands of Hiatt had
been sold TO that young man. a minor.
by Homer Draper, a second hand store
man. This was an unlawful act on
the part of Mr.. Draper so after the
hearing of the Ryie case Draper was
fined s. and costs for the offense.
Hiatt being the prosecuting witness.
Draper stated that he had not sold the
gun directly TO Hiatt but that
stranger i'll the store had been employ
ed IN the transaction. said stranger
handing Hiatt's money to Draper and
Draper's gun 10 Hiatt. This was the
usual method pursued in getting
around the law, Mr. Draper stated.
Hiatt stated that third party had not
been employed in the deal.

DEMANDS WILL Be
REFUSED; A STRIKE
ALMOST CERTAIN
Prospect That Fifty Thousand
Employees of Forty Western
Railroads Will Go Out With
in Short Time.
MANAGERS WILL PERMIT
STRIKE, 1T is CLAIMED.
Demands Are Presented and
All the Affairs of the Train
men Are in the Hands of
Their Two Chiefs.

Chicago. March 26-Demands of go
600 employees of forty western rail
roads, will. according TO reports of the
railroad managers. be rejected and
higher wages and shorter hours refus-
ed. In this contingency strike is
certain. The managers held a secret
conference Monday, and, it is stated
agreed to permit a strike rather than
incur a further increase in operating
expenses of 5000. 900 per year. which,
they say. would be the result of grant
ing the demands
Demands Are Presented
Demands of the men. who have vot-
ed in favor of strike, If they are not
granted. were presented to the rail
roads this morning. The intention of
the railroads, it is said, is to place lead
ers of the union in position of reject
ing a substantial wage advance al
ready rendered by the railroads and
thereby losing the sympathy of the
public in a strike. Representatives
of the employees decline to accept this
as the true position of the railroads.
They said they expect to receive a fur
ther wage increase although it may
not be granted until diplomacy on both
sides has been exhausted in the confer
ence negotiations which the men hope
will last several days.
Two Chiefs in Charge.
Monday afternoon committees repre-
senting the conductors and trainmen
held a long session. and formulated
their demands and placed entire charge
of their side of the controversy in the
hands of Chief Morrissey and Chief
Garretson of the two brotherhoods.

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
Extended to Chicago Banks by the
Federation of Labor.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-By almost unani-
nous vote the Chicago Federation of
Labor yesterday voted it's confidence
and that of the trades unions it rep
resents in the stability of Chicago
banks and their capacity to cope with
the present financial difficulty. By
the same vote the federation refused
to become a party to efforts to en-
barrass the banks. Only two votes
were cast in opposition.
The expression of confidence was
called forth by the offering of a reso-
luton asking that the federation call
the attention CT the federal authori-
ties to banks that held checking ac-
counts with various local unions and
declined to cash checks on the ac-
counts. This was made still stronger
by the Offering of an amendment ask
ing the federation to start insolvency,
proceedings against such banks and
demand that they be placed in receiv-
er5' hands.

port makes a good showing for the po-
lice department under the first six

lar credit to the cooperation of the

way, have had a little something to
do with existing conditions. In his

penses during his regime, and that
crime has not f1ourished to any
alarming extent

THEY WE'RE OLD ENEMIES.
Haughey and Angney, Opposing Foot
ball Players, Somewhat Bitter.

One interesting feature of Satur-
days game was the rivalry between
Haughey of the Washburn team and
Angney of the Kansas team. Before
these two men commenced playing on
the teams of their respective colleges
they were both members of the Sum-
ner county high school at Wellington.
At that time both men We're bidders
for the position of the most popular
player on the team and rivalry be-
tween the two was very high. Condi-
tons have not changed since the men
entered college. Haughey is ranked
as one of the best ends in the state,
while Angney is claimed to be the
best quarterback in the state. In Sat
urday's game Angney's end runs were
expected by the Kansas team to net
big gains but many were frustrated
by the great work of Haughey, who
several times downed Angney for big
losses. When Haughey started down
after punts and tried to get around
the Kansas end it was the special de-
light of Angney to stop him. The in
tense and even bitter rivalry between
the two was the cause for their get
ting worn out and both having to quit
the game.

RACE Line DRAWN
Japanese Boy Dismissed From Schools
of Savannah

Savannah, Ga. Nov. 4.-The board
of education. it is stated, has decided
to dismiss George Yugami, Japanese
boy, who was admitted to the nigh,
school two weeks ago.
Yugami was admitted during the
absence from the city of Superintend-
ent Ashmore. When the latter learned
of it he pointed out that it was break
ing of the racial line which could not
be done in the south. Mr.. Ashmore-s
view has been accepted by the board
of education and the Japanese boy will
be dismissed.
Yugami will be dismissed on the
ground that he is over the school age,
which will prevent the matter becoms
ing an international issue.
