ADJUSTMENTS

f'The Toy Maker which the Pollard
Lilliputian Opera Company viii present
tonight, is a humorous story replete
with tunefuI melodies and cleverly writ
ten songs. The plot hinges upon the
sorry of one Lancelot, who is serving
his novitiate at a monastery. Father
Maxim, the prior, reads in the papers
of the construction of wonderful doll
of life-like proclivities that is the crea-
ton of the famous toy maker, Hilarious.
The report about this doll puts an idea
into the head of young Lancelot, who
feels inpelled to assist the monks, at
that time in very Strengthened circum-
stances. He recalls the fact that his
uncle. one Baron Chanterelle, in order
10 sway his inclinations from the monas-
tic life, offered to bestow one thousand
francs upon him on the day of his wed
ding. Lancelot determines to purchase
the doll, go through the marriage cere-
mony and obtain the money his uncle
has promised The doll he will dispose
of and then he will return to the monas-
terry and give the money to the prior.
He goes out into the world and makes
the acquaintance Of the famous toy
maker. The doll turns out to be all
that it is represented to be. 1t is as
near being human as anyone could wish
for. The marriage ceremony takes
place, the groom gets the money as
promised by the uncle and all goes WELL
1t transpires, however, that the daugh-
ter of Hilarious, the toy maker, had, in
a fit of jealous rage, broken an arm
off from the mechanical doll and in fear
of her fathers wrath had substituted
herself for it, The substitution is not
known to Lancelot, who joyfully returns
to the monastery with the supposed
doll and the money. 1t is then that
suspicious begin to arise concerning the
mechanical qualities of the doll. To the
CONSERVATION of all concerned it begins
to revive and exhibit signs of animation
and then the discovery is made of the
real character of the supposed automa-
ton. The result is that Lancelot finds
that he is really benediek, and after
the matter is explained the finale leaves
all concerned happy with the outcome,
and the young novice goes out into the
| world with a better half. The opera is
replete. with the guaintest humor and
| is laughable throughout. 1t will run

Around the
Police Station

Emory Harris has so far made good
his escape from the police station. An
auto driver coming In from Wahiawa
Tuesday afternoon, quite late, saw a
man who looked very much like Harris,
dodge into some bushes alongside the
road as the auto came along. 1t is also
known that a woman whom Harris has
been particularly friendly with, took
the train down the country at 5 clock
Tuesday afternoon.
There seems to be difference of
opinion at the police station as to just
when Harris escaped. The Deputy
Sheriff on Tuesday evening announced
that it was between 80 and 2 o. CLOCK
that he came out of Jail, undoubtedly
through the sliding doors between the
jail yard and the receiving station.
Some officers contradict the Deputy
Sheriff and say. that it was closer to
8 clock. However, trusty saw Har
ris go up the inclined walk to the slid
ing door about twenty minutes to two
and he called the attention of the turn
key to this proceeding and the turn
KEY s only interest in the matter was
Harris had been called upstairs.
The Akwai Gambling Case.
The thirty-fve Chinese who were ar

the stand on behalf of the prosecution
| to tell of marked money given inform
ers who went inside and betrayed the
players to the police. Judge Humph-

learned something of the method of

that when raid was made an informer
was paid a fee whether the defendants

conviction the informer got certain

WENK FAILS TO APPEAR
Man Who Was Hit by Officer England
Forfeits Bond.

After having been responsible for
sensational charges which connected
Officer England of the Topeka police
department, with an alleged brutal
assault which Wenk says was wholly
unwarranted, John Wenk, an emplove
of the French bakery, 323 Kansas
avenue, is today unable to be found,
and when his case was called in po-
lice court this afternoon his bond was
forfeited because Of his non-appear-
ance.
Wenk, it is believed, finding himself
unable to substantiate the charges he
had made, decided to leave Topeka,
and the opinion that he has gone be-
cause unable to bear out his charges
against the patrolman, is conceded to
be true by the police department, and
others.
A bond of $40, which was supplied
for Wenk, following mis- arrest, by the
proprietor of the bakery, was paid by
the latter. The whereabouts Of the
man are unknown, and certain mem
bers of the police department who
witnessed the affair in the police sta
ton Sunday afternoon, say that the
charges were unwarranted.

rest of the letter was read. Parts of
it were:

NEIBARGER TRAGEDY.
Father a Suicide and Mother Sent to
Asylum.

Another chapter in the sad history
of the Neibarger family of Oakland
was enacted today when Mrs Nettie
Neibargcr was edjudged insane ard or
dered confined in the state hospital. The
lunacy commission of Drs. o. P. Davis
and u. T. Nicoll and examining physi-
clan, w. S. Lindsay, with Judge Schoch
and Sheriff Norton, held the trial at
ST. Francis hospital where Mrs Mel
arger mas been treated for the past
three months.
E. G. Neibarger, her husband who
was an employe in the Santa Fe shops
committed suicide November at the
home at 154 Grattan street in Oakland.
The wife was confined in the hospital
at the time in an attempt to restore
her normal mind. The husband had
visited her and going home became
so respondent that unknown to any
one he entered the cellar and crawling
through a small opening in the wall
into the dark recssses under the foun-
dation of the home he took a dose of
strychnine-
Five children were in the Neibarger
home The eldest was but 10 years of
age and after his mother had been
taken to the hospital, the boy was left
at the house with his father, the young
er children being taken care of by rela-
tives. Returning home from school,
this lad thought it strange that his
father did not come but went to bed.
Still IL the morning his father did not
come and he went to his relatives. A
search was instituted which resulted in
the finding of the dead man.

OIL INSPECTORS REPORT
Now. 1O1 Local officers in Kansas
$4,000 Barrels Inspected.

Joseph Longshore, state oil inspec-
tor, today submitted his annual report
to Governor Stubs as follows:
This department at this time is
comprised of 101 local inspectors who
are located throughout the state at the
various refinsries and tank stations.
All of these inspectors are fully pro-
vided with the necessary instruments.
blanks and records for the proper and
expeditions conduct of their business.
They are now handling 123 refneries
and distributing stations in the state
There are at this time operating in
Kansas nineteen refinerieS, eighteen of
which are operated as independent
concerns, all of which are producing
oil and have established. tank stations
throughout the state from which they
are disbursing oil and gasoline and
placing the same on the market.
For the year ending November 80,
1909, there have been inspected by this
department 24S,56 barrels of oil and
21O,486 barrels of gasC line, making
total of 459,064 barrels of oil and gasO-
line. OF this amount the Independent
refineries submitted 121,613 barrels for
inspection, or 26 per cent of the total.
This shows a net gain for the indie
pendents of forty thousand barrels of
oil produced over the year 1908.
There have been twenty-one new
distributing stations established DUR
ing the year. By act of the last legis-
lature five regular deputies formerly
maintained by this department have
been abolished and the local deputies
fees for inspection increased from 25
to so per cent. In spite of the in
crease in fees allowed the legislative
act resulted in a saving to the depart
ment of $6.610 for the year.
Frequent complaints are made to
this office of the quality of the oil sold
in this state and while this office has
no authority to examine into the quail
ity of oil or to regulate it, where it has
entai1ed no expense, many of these
complaints have been investigated and
it has been found in the majority Of
them that It was due to the manner in
handling by local dealers and the
character of the receptacle from which
oil is retailed. The general quality
of oil being sold in Kansas is good
and the companies doing business in
the state are apparently making great
efforts to raise the quality of their
product. No condemnation of gaso-
line has beer necessary during the
year"
The report shows that $45,925.S3 in
fees were collected during the year,
and that of this amount $19,102.06
was paid out IL salaries, expenses and
fees, leaving a balance of $26,S20.77
on hand as net profits for the credit
of the department.
The report makes good showing
for the department.
