SWARM TO HEAR DYCHE
School Children to Number of $4,000
Crowd Into Convention Hall.

Kansas City. Nov. Sit required two
hours to get 1900 school children seat
ed in Convention hall to hear Prof. L.
l.. Dyche of the University of Kansas
polar exploration. r. L. James, SER
geant of police had twenty patrolmen
to help him get the children in their
seats and keep them quiet after they
got there When it was over he said:
THAT was the hardest job 1 ever
tackled
Louis W. shouse. manager of Con-
vention hall, said: Its the biggest
crowd of kids that ever entered the
hall, and it's the noisiest one"
rooms Of the different schools, and po-
licemen and ushers were stationed
about the hall to direct the detach-
ments Of children where to go.
1t all seemed easy and the children
in charge of their teachers, behaved
nicely on the cars and down the street
to the entrance of the hall. But once
inside the doors they broke away and
raced up and down the aisles, lodging
under the arms of policemen and
teachers, running over chairs and
shouting and screaming.
Every time new bunch of children
came into the hall it was greeted by
Hi there, you kids" and it was only a
moment until the newcomers saw that
there was a new kind of fun going on.
When Professor Dyche came upon
the platform big boy in the audience
yelled:
Hi, there's the Teller what's been
to the North Pole"
This was real novelty. There was
not a boy in the entire hall who had
MT an ambition to climb that same
pole himself, and as they thought
Professor Dyche really had done it,
they sat still for a moment to watch
the hero. The lecturer took advan-
| tage of the silence to interest them
in his talk and throughout his lecture
there was respectful silence.
Professor Dyche delivered his lee
ture from a table behind the rail in
the north end of the hall in the first
balcony. He was forced to abandon
the platform in the center of the hall
because the entire space was filed. In
| the course of his talk he asked:
How many of you children believe
| DR.. Frederick Cook reached the North
Pole ~ Up went nearly every hand
| in the house.
ooh. you Cook" a shrill voice piped,
and then there was cheering.
Now. how many believe Lieut..
Robert E. Peary gained it?" The
| children evidently let their SYM
| pathies sway them. Not more than
! three hundred hands went up About
| the same number of hands were rails
ed when he asked if they believed
! both Cook and Peary had been sue
cessful.
Professor Dyche told his audience
how the children of the polar regions
! live and what education they receive.

liquor is intoxicating according to the
decision of the supreme court in the
appeal of H. Ligner & Co., from de-
cision of the court of common pleas
of Wyandotte county. This firm sold
Gold Foam" and Health Malt"
When the prosecution was brought
the firm commended that it did not
know the liquors were intoxicating.
The court says this plea is unavailing
and affirms the conviction of the low
er court. The supreme court says:
"a man who sells liquor as a bev-
erage must know that it is not intoxi-
eating. He takes the chances, and not
the state.'
In sustaining the action OF the
Allen county district court in issuing
writ of mandamus applied for by
J. G. Mercer and p w. Jury to COM
pei the city council of La Harpe to
confirm their appointment to offices
under the old soldier preference act,
the supreme court today added an
other to the records of the few cases
where the old veterans have won their
point under this law.
Jury applied for the Office of city
marshal and Mercer for the Office OF
city clerk and they were appointed to
these offices by the mayor. Both
men were old soldiers and had ap-
piled for the officers under the terms
of the old soldiers preference act.
The CITY council refused to confirm
their appointment. They appealed to
the district court for mandamus to
compel the council to confirm them
and the lower court issued the writ.
The councilmen appealed to the su-
preme court but the action OF the
lower court was affirmed. and in TINS
case the highest court in the state has
clearly sustained the validity and
effectiveness of the old soldiers
preference act

NEW YORK STOCKS-This market has
shown healthy, strong conditions and in
some of the issues, the existence of a
condition almost bordering on buoyancy
is notable. Advices are quite numerous
to the effect that the bull side of the in
dustrials will pay handsome profits. We
consider, however, that the ruling price
of most stocks is reasonably high and
that profits on present long holdings
should be realized on any farther material
advance.

A constitutional amendment must
pass both houses by twothirds ma
jority on three successive days, and in
order for Mr.. Robertson to be success
full in this matter, it will be necessary
for him to win over to his standard
large number of legislators who have
always opposed constitutional amend
ments.
Nevertheless, this fact has served
to cause Mr.. Robertson to be more de-
termined to carry this measure to vic
tory, and there is not more popular
man in the Mississippi legislature
than is he, nor one who is capable oil
putting up stronger or more erect
i've fight for any cause which he advo
Gates, and the affairs of the people oil
this section are in good hands when in
trusted to him.
He is not only good lawyer, hptt
is legislator whom it is dangerous TO
oppose, for he is always on the right
side of every measure, and is thor
