Second Kansas City Theater Case Ends
in Discharge of Defendant.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 16.-The
case of Martin Lehman, manager of
the Orpheum theater, charged with
permitting his theater to run on Sun
day, was begun when court opened
today.
But two witnesses were examined
when the defense moved that the case
be dismissed for lack of evidence.
Judge Porterfie1d so ordered and the
case ended abruptly. The witnesses
had testified that they saw Lehman at
the theater on the Sunday in question,
but were unable to state positively
whether or not he was managing the
house.
After the discharge of Lehman, a
third case was called, that of ticket

YOUNG AMERICA
ENJOYS THE SNOW
SclIoolbONs Attack Wagon Driver
Japs Down Watclman-Mcs-

Combat.

Young America of Albuquerque has
been having a great time today sport
ing i'm the snow. Enough of the beau
tiful collected in places where the
ground was too cold to thaw it to
make snowballs, and many stiff hats
have suffered as a result.
A number of schoolboys attacked a
grocery wagon driver at the noon
hour on South Second street. and the
result was very disastrous to the VIC
tim. The mans nat went off at the
first volley, He made a desperate ef-
fort to regain his lost head-piece and
in doing so lost control of his horse.
A second volley caused the animal to
lurch forward, tumbling the driver off
his seat back into the body Of the
wagon, The horse ran down in front
of the White Elephant and stopped
doing no damage,
Two Japanese bell boys and the
native watchman at the Alvarado had
a snow fight on the Alvarado lawn.
where the beautiful covered the
ground three inches deep. The Japs
attacked the watchman on the Veran-
da and lured him to the lawn. AS
soon as he reached the ground they
rushed him, put him down and
chucked great balls os snow down his
collar, with thorough face massage
thrown in. 1t was complete victory
for the subjects of the mikado and
the lawn was thoroughly manicured.
Two squads of messenger boys, one
from the Postal and the other from
the Western Union, became engaged
in a desperate snow combat in an
alleyway between Second and Third
streets shortly after noon. The en-
gagement lasted longer than the snow
and the youngsters finished the fight
with tin cans.
