BATTLE ON STREET
Kansas City Police and Rellg-
iOus Fanatics Clash.
OFFICER AND A CHILD KILLED
Two Policemen and a Street Elk.
hOrter Fatally Hurt.

| Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 9.-In the
very shadow of the city hall in this
city and less than a half mile from
the business center, a riot in which
religious fanatics and police were the
participants and during which l00
shots were fired, resulted in the death
of one policeman and a child, the fatal
injury of three and slight injury OF
two other persons. The dead are Al
bert o. Dalbow, policeman, and Lola
Pratt, aged thirteen years. The IA
tally injured are. John Sharp, known
as Adam God, a street preacher;
Michael Mullane, a patrolman; Pat.
rick Clark, a police sergeant.
The trouble started when Probation
Officer Holt, finding several children
with the fanatics on the street, made
Inquiries about them. His questions
aroused the leader, who attacked Holt,
knocking him down. The latter
rushed to the police station nearby,
followed by the fanatics, with revol-
vers drawn. Holt warned the officers
to prepare for trouble and the SER
geant in charge ordered two patrol
men to go out and arrest Sharp and
his followers.
The officers were not expecting Sc
rious trouble and were net prepared
for the volley of bullets which met
them almost Immediately after they
appeared on the scene. Dalbow was
killed instantly, and bullet passed
through Stege's arm. Other officers,
hearing the firing, rushed into the
street, and a general battle ensued.
The officers as they stepped from the
building, offered themselves as tar
gets to their opponents in the fight,
but were unable to shoot without en-
dangering the lives of innocent per-
sons. Sergeant Clark, who had
core into the street unarmed, was
shot in the eye, and Patrolman Null
lane was shot in the back as he iur-
ried into the police station for rein
foroements.
In the meantime riot call had
been sounded and policemen were ap-
pearing from all directions. Thor
oughly aroused, the officers closed In
on Sharp and his followers, firing as
they went, but taking great care not
to injure any of the children, and
when the firing ceased adam God"
lay fatally wounded, shot through the
head and body.
The seriously injured were taken
to hospitals and then the police be-
gan to clear streets of all street
preachers, and it is said that the trou-
BILE marks the end of religious ex-
hortations on the streets of Kansas
City.

GOING AWAY TO SCHOOL.

Oklahoma has sent more than
her quota OF bright young men and
women to northern, eastern and
southern colleges and universities
this fall. Scarcely a town of import
ance in the state is not represented
In the roster OF the foreign schools.
This is all wrong.
We are we'll aware that 1t Is the
duty of the parent 10 give the boy
or girl. as the case may be, the
best education that financial circum-
stances will Justify. We also are
cognizant of the fact tnat, in this
new country, We have not yet had
time to bring our colleges and other
institutions of higher learning up to
the standard of excellence main
tanned in some of the older states.
But We also know, to a moral GER
tainty, that We are never going to
be able to build up the home insti-
tutions by pursuing the present
course indefinitely. In the very ma
urc of things, 1t cannot be.
The oklahoma Institutions of high
cr learning are yet in their infancy.
Their curriculums are not so exten-
siye rs are found in the older
schools. Perhaps their instructors
are ont SO proficient. either. But.
Notwithstanding these facts, We have
plenty of institutions OF learning
In the state which are capable OF
imparting u vast deal OF valuable
knowledge to our youth. The chances
are that, in most instances, the
seeker after knowledge will be as
ahundantly rewarded by staying at
home as by going away.
1t is wellknown fact that a
great deal of sickly sentimentality
enters into the selection of a school
for our boys and girls. We like to
have IL said that Mary is at Nassar
or John at Ann Arbor. At the same
time We have precious little assur-
ancc that either is profiting one
whit more for the extra expense

oign school About the only sub
stantial benefit is the knowledge
that i'm case OF sickness, they are

them.
This course builds up the for

the home. We can scarcely hope
TO see the best schools established
In the state unless We manifest a
