Vigorous Measures Taken to Enforce
Sunday Closing Law.

Kansas City, Mo, December l.
Drastic measures were taken to day
to enforce the Sunday closing law as
a result of the recent campaign begun
by Judge William H. Wallace of the
criminal court The grand jury indict-
ed 223 travelling actors and employees
of local theatres charged with violat-
ing the Missouri law forbidding labor
on Sunday. Of this number, 141 were
arrested and gave bond for 5000 each
while the others evaded the officials
and left the city without being appre-
hended.
The court room presented an unus-
ual and almost ludicrous appearance
when the persons arrested were lined
up before Judge Wallace to give bond
Many of the actors went directly from
the matinee performances to the court
house and had not an opportunity tc
remove the paint from their faces
About one third of them were act
resses, many of them chorus girls.
The attorneys for the theatres filed
pleas in abatement and motions fol
a change of venue. When the prison
ers refused to plead Judge Wallace
entered a plea of not guilty for each
| one
Among the actors arrested were
Adolph Sink the Liliputian comedian
and Fiske O'Hara, the Irish comedian

Washington, December 7.-Secretary
Cortelyou today announced the allot-
ments of Panama canal bonds sold to
various national banks Of the United
States. The list of purchasers made

The average price paid for the bonds
was a small fraction over 103.
The highest price paid for any con-
siderable amount was 106,S75 for 10000
of bonds by the Farmers and Mer-
chants National Bank Of Onley, Vir-
ginia~ The lowest price realized by
the government for the bonds allotted
was s1O2,125 and a considerable
amount of the issue was allotted at
that price.
The allotments were made in sums
of $4,000 and upward, hundreds OF
banks taking the bonds at their bids
in sums up to several millions OF
dollars.
Among the banks to which were 81
lotted bonds, and the price paid fol
them was the Merchants and Farmers
National, of Charlotte, n. c., 500, ,OOt

KANSAS CITY A WINNER.
Gets Magnificent Ball Room for
Headquarters at Elks' Convention.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23:-In
order to assist in accommodating the
thousands Of Elks who are now plan
ming to attend the annual convention
and reunion of Elks which Is to be
held In this city during the week be-
ginning July Is, the managers of the
Hotel Bellevue-Strafford, one Of the
largest and most fashionable hotels
in this country, has been persuaded
to convert the magnificent ball room
of the hotel into sleeping quarters.
This is the first time SINCE the hotel
has been open, that the beautiful ball
room, the decorations Of which alone
cost $4,000, will be put to a use
other than that for which it was in
tended, and the men who were able
to persuade the management to this
arrangement hail from Kansas City.
Two representatives of the popular
Missouri lodge were here recently
seeking accommodations for their
brothers and as they we're anxious to
be close to the Grand Lodge head
quarters they made up their mind TO
put up at the Bellevue.

IS himself an Elk, when the visitors
applied for terms.
We'll find ROOM" the 'westerners
replied.
"Where?" asked the manager.
Lets look" said the cornhuskers.
Help yourselves continued mine
host and with a guide they made the
tour of the mammoth structure.
When they got the ballroom they
paused.
"How's this strike you, Bill?" ask
ed delegate No. 1.
Immense" answered No. 2.
impossible" chimed in the guide
Impossible, nothing" came the
joint retort. "We'll anchor right
here. Call the manager, we'll fix it
up right away"
In a few moments the manager
stood before4hem aghast.
Anything you want, brothers." he
began, "bu don't ask me to turn this
ballroom into a bedroom"
Look here, Larry" replied one of
the visitors, this place suits us and
we've got to have It."
There was a note of determination
In the speakers voice which appealed
to mine host. He hemmed, hawed,
and made all sorts of excuses, but he
couldn't shake off the men from
Missouri and so he cap%itulated.
Kansas City will have the big ball
room and will come here $50 strong,
with a band to whoop things up.
Philadelphia is preparing to SHOW
Them"
