SHARP INTERSTATE HUNTERS.
They May Be Prosecuted for Violating
the Game Laws.

E. B Shepherd of Kansas City, Mo-,
today laid a complaint before the gov
ernor in regard to sharp practices Of
certain Missouri and Kansas hunters
in their efforts to evade the game laws
of the two states It seems that a Mis-
sourian who wishes to hunt in Kan
sas appears before the county clerk of
Wyandotte county and applies for and
secures a hunters license on the rep
resentation that he is resident of
Kansas and pays 81 for the same. The
Kansan living close to the Missouri line
who desires to hunt in Missouri adopts
the same methods. palming himself off
as Missouri citizen. These fellows are
thus enabled to do a little interstate
hunting for 81 per4fnstead of paying
the customary interstate hunting fee of
SIS.

cation of this matter and prosecutions

LOPEZ Is GIVEN FREEDOM.
Mexican Who Stole Friends Wife
Acquitted Today.

:, Cipriano Lopez, the Mexican who lured
Sonora Ildifonsa Jimenez Torrez away
from her husband Dionicio Torrez and
Kept her II days in a section house at
Rock Creek before she was retaken, was
discharged by Judge Simon in the court
of Topeka this morning on the charge of
threatening Senor Torrez.
AS matter of fact Cipriano followed
his sweetheart back to Topeka. and has
since been trying to recapture her-and
she Is evidently willing to go-but Dionicio
admitted that he was not afraid of his
wife's lover and there was really no trag-
edy to be averted so the court let Cipriano
go.
The gentle Ildifonsa, who is the most
beautiful Mexican sonora in the local set
Element. was placed on the stand. But
she diligently failed to disclose any inten-
ton of her lover, Cipriano-Sip-pre-a ammo
and the prosecution was up against it.
SO to speak.
Moreover, Cipriano is youthful trouba-
dour and handsome and there was some
sympathy for the fair Ildifonsa: Counsel
for the defense branded the affair a
little private affair of gentlemen in which
the state ought not to interfere and &C
ed her for her husband, of being jealous
and for that reason had this action

adjustment as to who is the filter man.

along municipal lines have always
been welcomed in an engineering way
by the people of this city.
In speaking of the matter this aft
ernoon Mr.. Rogers said:
ST was very favorably impressed
with the editorial in last evenings
State Journal and I am of the opinion
that if an investigation was made 1t
would reveal the fact that the short
age of gas in zero weather is but the
history of the gas fields of Indiana,
Ohio and other eastern statesa repeat
ing itself in Kansas, and that the only
logical proposition is to treat natural
gas as a luxury and to he provided
with other materials as fuel as an
auxiliary resource.
IT think our situation could be vast
ly improved upon from an equitable
standpoint, at least. if the franchise
of our local company was so drawn
that a standard of efficiency and ade-
quate pressure to insure the proper
heating and lighting of our homes
would be the only basis on which the
maximum rates could be collected.
Any deviation from this standard
should be met by a corresponding re-
duction in rates to consumers. In
case where less than so per cent of
efficiency was maintained the furnish
ing corporation should be penalized to
the extent of forfeiture of any right
to collect for the deficient service rem
dered.
with such terms in a franchise the
matter could be readily adjusted 50
that we would only pay for what we
actually received, for at each of the
distributing or reducing stations about
the city there is at present installed
an accurate register. This register
records the pressure maintained in
each respective district every minute
of the day. These register sheets are
perfectly 1egible to novice and SINH
| lar to those of the self recording Their
mometers of the weather service bu-
reau
| ct do not think the burden should
| fall wholly upon the shoulders of our
local distributing company but that
the Kansas Natural Gas company
should be restricted by the state from
| charging their patrons for gas except
I on the basis of a sufficient high stand
ard to protect the local companies.
"Then the loss in pressure followed
| by reduction in income would be of
sufficient amount to cause the stock
! this would act as stimulant to pro-
! duce the requisite amount of pressure.
j This would have far better effect than
/ threats and resolutions.
/ "In this manner the local companies
would suffer a financial loss on any
deficient distributing lines they might
attempt to operate. This would be
true because they would have to set
tie on the basis of the pressure de-
! livered to them at the receiving station
and could only charge for the quality
furnished their customers on the GER
tificate of the city inspector of weights
and measures. Such certificates should
| form the basis on which all collections
| of gas should be made

DEFEAT OF MAYOR SCHAFFER FOR denomination

Henry Carse Heads Republican City
Ticket and F. w. BlOeliinger
Democratic.
RESULT OF THE PRIMARIES
Schroeder for Observation-Disclosures
Have No Contest on City Ticket
and but One on Alderman.

The republican voters of the city or
Rock Island do not want Sunday clos
ing of saloons That is the general con-
struction that is put upon the re-
suit of yesterdays primaries.
Practically the only general interest
lay in whether Mayor He. Schaffer's
administration should be endorsed, and
it was not, at least by those who took
the trouble TO go TO the polling places
some / 700 out of about $500 repub-
lican voters in the city. Mr.. Schaffer
was defeated for denomination by an
overwhelming majority, former Mayor
Henry Carse winning and former
States Attorney John X. Scott being
second. The attack on Mayor Schaf-
fer's administration by his own party
was due mainly to his attitude in the
closing of saloons Sundays.
Why SchaGer Lost.
Mayor Schaffer has without CUES
ton regulated saloons more strictly
and more consistently than any other
executive Rock Island has had in years

and refusal TO renew licenses i'll a mum
Der of the more notorious cases won
him general commentator, even the
better class of men among the liquor
interests supporting him. When he
inaugurated Sunday closing, however
the liquor people went back on him in
body, and their opposition was prac
tically responsible for his defeat yes
terday.
Another thing that undoubtedly
weakened the position of bIr Sehaffe!
was the recent decision of the Illinois
supreme court in Chicago case, plac
ing entire responsibility for Sunday
closing upon the mayors of cities, and
rendering it doubtful whether the
courts can be used to compel a mayor
to enforce the Sunday lid in case he
does not do so voluntarily.
OF the other candidates on the city
ticket there were no contests except
for police magistrate, where Clarence
J. Schroeder defeated Frank Westbay
and G. Albert Johnson.
Democrats Have One Contest.
There was no contest on the demo
cratic side for any place on the city
