TO STOP SUNDAY SHOWS
Judge Wallace of Kansas City UnfoIds
His Plan.

Kansas City, Oct. 2.-In his instruc-
tions to the grand jury in the criminal
court today, Judge Wallace urged the
jurors to take none of the laws on the
statute books as a dead letter." He
urged the enforcement of all law in
Guiding the Sunday laws, and especially
the law against the Sunday theater.
The courts plan to close the theaters
is to enforce the master and servant or
apprentice law against working on Sun
day.
He says that theatrical folk have no
more right to work on Sundays than
merchants have and that managers have
no right to require them to work on
Sunday. He adds that the issuance of
an order by the police commissioners
to arrest all persons found working in
theater on Sunday would be the
quickest and best way of effecting the
closing of the Sunday theater. He says,
further, that he will request the police
commissioners to make the order, and
expresses the opinion that they will
comply with his request.
If the managers of the theater do not
close next Sunday he instructs the
grand jury to return indictments
against them for all violations in the
last year.
In the enforcement of the law closing
stores and shops on Sunday Judge Wal
lace advised common sense and judg-
ment. He made these exceptions of
persons who are not to be indicted for
working or having their places open on
Sunday:
Druggists.
Milkmen.
Icemen.
Fruit stands.
Places where non-intoxicants are sold:
Transportation, such as railroad
trains, street cars. etc.
Restaurants.
Hotels.
Bakeries.
Persons engaged in sports not OBJ
scene or demoralizing.
Parks where no theatricals or impro-
per sports are held.
Newspapers.

Thomas Davenport Smith. of Hia-
watha, is in town. If you do not re-
member Thomas Davenport Smith,
you will perhaps recall one "Cussin' ="
Smith, the great Kansas university
football player of 1899. They are one
and the same man.
T. Davenport Smith parts his name
in the middle for the same reason that
F. Dumont Smith parts his that way.
He wants to be different from the
other Smiths. At the present time.
Mr.. Smith is the leading candidate for
the Republican nomination for county
attorney in Brown county, and he has
done we'll in the law business since
leaving school.
This morning Mr.. Smith put in an
hour with some old friends telling
them all manner of interesting
"reminiscences about the football of
the old days at K. U. And he did it
with a relish and a flourish that was
delightful to hear.
The football of today" said Mr..
Smith, sis not what it was when I
used to play. 1t is rapidly becoming a
sort of ping-pong game, in which the
players will say Please hand me the
ball. There is none of that man to
man, hammer-and-tongs football that
I like. 1 want to play a game where

Olner IellOW IN the dirt, TOO, II can.
This modern football, while it may be
better from the spectators standpoint,
is degenerate game. 1t is getting
more and more like the pink-tea Eng
lish Rugby game. The splendid mass
formations of the old game are all
gone, because it is impossible to make
long enough gains that way. The
fierce clash of the big men in the
rush line is a thing which will never
again be what it was when I played
the game. al l+7
at took big men to play the game
according to the old system. 1t was
no game for children or even for high
school boys. These weaklings were
the ones who got hurt, and who
brought that style of play into dis
repute. I played against the biggest
men in the business. and 1 never saw
any very serious injuries, The men
were supposed to be In the best of
physical condition, and it was impos-
Sible to hurt them much. r-.--
"Of course, there was now and then
an exception. There was that Doane
college boy-Surf was his name, who
was killed on the-K. U. field by a
fierce tackle Surf was in no condf-
ton to go into the game. The doctors
told him to keen sat. and the K. y.
captain, before the game, told the
Doane captain that Surf did not act

M0FFETT ON HAND
Will Explain to Grand Jury Assertion
About Rebating.

Chicago. Oct. flames A. Moffett, pres
ident of the Standard Oil company of In
diana. went before the federal grand jury
today to explain his public statement that
other concerns besides the Standard OIL
company had been guilty of rebating with
the railroads.
A subpoena was issued for F. s. Hol-
land, chief rate clerk for the Alton rail-
road. 1t is declared that If Holland, as
agent for the Alton railroad, gives evil
dence involving the railroad criminally in
other cases than the Standard Oil COM
pany, he will obtain immunity for himself,
but not for the railroad, the Alton having
been granted immunity on the case of the

BoLEs ON GRIDIRON.
Base Ball Star Joins Washburn Foot
ball Squad.

Another promising football player in
the person of Walter Boles the utility
player of the White Sox baseball team
during the closing days or the seas on,
has been added to the washburn squad
BoleS has never played on the WASH
burn football team although he mas
been in school for three years. How
ever, previous to the time he came TO
Washburn, he played on the Dickin-
son County High school team which
was one of the strongest high school
teams in the state. BoleS played
quarterback and half on this team ami
made good record. His joining the
squad has added great deal or hope
to the athletic authorities of the col
lege and will greatly strengthen the
back field.
up in great form. He seemed very
strong on handling forward passes ana
in running with the ball. Last season
just before the close of the season
Boles played in a FreShman-Sop ho-
more game. In this game he made a
great showing. He handled the for
ward pass well and in the kicking de-
partment of the game he showed
ability. On the kick off at the begin
ming of the second half he kicked the
ball twenty-five yards beyond the north
goal line.
Bruce Maxwell, one of last years
men, who was not expected to return
to Washburn this fall showed up at
practice last night much to the gratif1-
cation of Coach Weede. Maxwell op
posed Barr. the 206 pound tackle of
the Colorado university team in the
game between the two schools on
Washburn field last season and al
though much lighter he held his OPP
ponent in great shape. He mas peen
working for nine months on a ranch
in New Mexico and besides having all
his strength fully developed, is in good
physical condition. He was in poor
health last season. Maxwell is we'll
built either for tackle or the back
field.
Brethour, one of the last seasons
guards, left for Chicago last night
where he will enter a medical college.
His loss to the Washburn team will be
scarcity of good line men on the Blue
squad.
Coach WeWede is greatly disap-
pointed at the poor showing made by
the Washburn team in the scrimmage
game with the High School team last
Saturday. AS result he is working
his men hard with view of getting the
men in the best possible shape for the
High School game of next Saturday.
The High School team is much strong
er this year than they have been for
some time and expect to put up hard
game for the Blue If luck breaks right
for them it would occasion no surprise
among those who have seen the two
teams to action to see the High School
lads victorious over the Blue. Coacn
Robert Stewart is very optimistic as to
the showing his High School charges
will make. -
scrimmage work with the scrubs this
afternoon. Outside of the High School
scrirnrnage of last Saturday the scrim-
mage work of the team tonight will be
the first of the season for the Blue.

THEATRICAL NOTES
Al G. Field,s Ninstrcls.

Annually Al Field comes along the
first part of September to profit BY
the theatrical appetite whetted by a
summer of abstinence from thespiC
fare. and he always provides some
thing palatable. HIS entertainment
like the traditional circus, is bigger
and brighter than ever" with enough
of fresh color and humor and melody
to more than atone for what has been
saved over from previous seasons
and served warmed over, says the
Louisville Herald. A big audience at
tended the opening of the season last
night, and from start to finish there
was applause and laughter for song,
gibe and burlesque.
Fields big stunt this year is a
take-off on Secretary of War Taft,and
the bull fight is about as uproarious
piece of knock-down and drag-out
fun as could wal be devised. Field
shines in his speech to the Fiiipinos
full of topical hits. Able lieutenants
for the veteran black face comedian
are provided in Doc Quigley Of the
everlastingly agile legs, big Billy
Clark, with his cavernous mouth aud
unctdous humor, little Bun Granville,
Harry Van Fossen and others. There
is the usual array of tenors attired
in pink satin and white wigs, and big
fellows who strike notes down the re-
gion of the diaphram. to the delight
of those who like TO revel in high
notes and low notes of musical va
ues.
One OF the bess new songs is the
"Every Little Bit Added" as sunA
by Billy Clark. Walter Sherwood is
the premier tenor halladist. John c.
Dickens does the basso profundo
stunts, and handsome Boardman
Carnes attends TO the duties of mid
dleman and master of ceremonies
with his customary dignity and ec'as.
The "olio" bits are all entertaining.
and altogether Mr.. Field has gotten
up a "show" which serves its end Of
amusement perfectly. Al Field deals
squarely with his public, and this
fact, together with the circumstan-
ces that he is widely known and pop
nlar in Louisville. guarantees to him
q hearty welcome when he comes TO
town.
u The interior of Macauley's has been
transformed during the summer
months, and the cream colored walls
and new hangings make the PLAY
house very inviting. A new steel cell
ing is not the least of the improve
ments, and out In front Marquee
that's what Al Baurlier says 1t ISIS
quite attractive.
