LIQUOR IN Y. M. C. A.
fcontinued from PAGE one.1

Such abuses as brought forth last
night drop of my head like water
slides from the back of a duck. They
hurt me about as much as the abuses
of the Topeka morning paper in the
last campaign-that means mighty lit
tie.
Il was amused at the remarks of my
friend and brother. Charles Holiday.
/ want to compliment him on the sue
cess Of his maiden speech on prohibit
ton. Considering the bad subject and
being his first attempt at such work
of this kind / think he did remarkab bly,
well.
Voted for Prohibition.
IT don't believe the people of the
city have taken the proper means to
bring the proper results in this pro-
hfbition question. l am in favor OF
temperance and morality and against
the excessive use of intoxicating IL
quor. Thirty years ago / voted for
the prohibitory amendment with the
hopes that it would correct the evils
speeches made last night, I find the
results entirely unsatisfactory. All
heard last night did not make me
change my mind relating to prohibi-
ton. I have not said one-half of what
could be said on this question.
while I am opposed to the law, I
am an officer of the law and 1 have
enforced it honestly and to the best
of my ability, and I shall continue to
do so as long as I hold the office of
mayor. The police are using all
means to enforce the law. I will adj
NIT we are not hiring spoilers to get
evidence don't believe in hiring
people to break the law in order to
get others who are doing the same
thing. 1 wouldn't ask a man to do a
thing that I would not do myself"
President Bowie Explains.
David Bowie, president of the Cen
trail Y. M. c. A. said when told of the
Billiard charges:
"It has been called to my attention
that a whisky bottle was thrown out
of one of the windows of the Young
Mems Christian association building
one night recently; that it fell on the
sidewalk in a neighboring yard break
ing and causing some disturbance. Up
on investigating the matter I find that
this bottle was carried into the build
ing empty and by one of the boys
placed in a companions room simply
as a prank. The bottle was again
placed in another room and after
wards found it's way into one of the
boys beds. This young man wishing
to get rid fthe bottle took the hand
lest method that he could think of
to dispose of it with the foregoing re-
suit.
ct might say that 1t is against the
rules of the association for any mem
Der to carry With him into the build
ing any intoxicating liquor"

ON BOND OF $4,000.
Editor of North American Is Held on
Libel Charge.

Philadelphia, Oct. 29.-On a charge
of criminally fibelhng Congressman j.
K. Tener, the Republican candidate for
governor. E. A. Van Valkenberg, edi-
tor and publisher of the North Ameri-
can of this city, was held in $1,000
bail after a three hour hearing before
Magistrate William Gallagher. The
cause of Mr.. Tener's action in prose-
cutting Mr.. Van Valkenberg is contain
ed in daily attack in the North Amer
lean since October 13 against the in
tegrity of the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Tener today denied every allega-
ton made in the newspaper affecting
his integrity as a business man. He
admitted being president of company
interested in public utilities for several
months and said he had returned the
$4,000 stock gift because he had not
earned it.
He resigned the presidency because
of pressure of business. He testified
that he believed the men he was as
ISOLATED with were honest.
Under cross examination Mr.. Tener
said he did not know whether the
company had a dollar in the treasury
when he became president. He did
not know when the company was or
gained. While president he did not
preside at any meetings nor did he
sign any papers as president. He had
resigned in March of this year.

HE HAD a CLOSE GALL.
Ralph Johnstone Tells of His Perilous
Descent From AIoft

New York. Oct. 29.-The crowd at
Belmont Park was all for Ralph john
stone, when from Middle Island viii
lage, Long Island, So miles off the
course, he brought back a new
american record of SAT- feet for al
titude-the second he has added to
his string in the international avia-
ton meet.
Just before the passenger-carrying
cross-country race was started at
the paling sky was seen far to the
southeast. 1t was tombstone, reap
pearIng just where he had vanished
in thursdays gale. He circled the
field and settled in front of the
judges stand, while the crowd waved,
cheered and stamped.
Tell you what, boys" tombstone
said when he landed, ait was just the
mercy of Providence that 1 saved my
neck. When I thought I was within
touching distance of the new worlds
record, 1 kind of forgot all about the
WIND and began to reach out for more
height. Then I suddenly said to my
SER, Young man, you better see how
much gas you have got It's the truth,
1 had just enough to turn over the two
propellers. When I kept her nose up
the juice ran down into the engine
and she coughed. The minute 1 point
ed down lost my fuel and she began
to miss.
II WdS just ike SnOOC1ng the
chutes. First I'd take a header. with
the power off, and when the wind be-
gan to carry me out of control I'd
point up bit, get a little Roadway,
run level for a hundred yards, then
dip again.
II was not much scared till I got
down to earth and saw what a gale
there was. Then 1 was frightened for
fair. The only spot I could find to
land in was a little patch not three
times bigger across than the stretch
of my wings from tip to tip.
While / was tossing pennies with
myself the wind turned me clean
around and landed me front end back
wards, but that was just what saved
me.
IF I'd come down head first the
wind would have picked me up, tipped
me over and smashed me to pieces"

POPULATION OF 1,7Oo, 600. 900.
Half the Human Race to Occupy the
United States.

Bay City, Mich, Oct. 29.-Speaking
before the convention of the Michigan
State Teachers association, Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills of New York, pre-
dicted that within $50 years half the
human race will occupy the United
States. He said he believed the popu-
lation would be ZOO, 100000 and that the
reason for our having them here is the
fact that we have the land to care fer
them, to give them farms and to give
them place in mighty cities that are
yet to be- Rev. MI Hills ridiculed the
idea that the country is constantly
drifting toward a dictatorship.

meet crowd for the faces of some famil-
lar crooks who are suspected of having

Chicago. Feb. 19-The thief who
stole $4,000 from the Chicago sub
