Betty and Bobby had been very
naughty children. They had brok-
en- a doll, pulled kitty's tail, and
even hit good dog Tinker with a
stick. AS a punishment their
mamma sent them up to the attic
for the afternoon. They didn't
like this. so they slipped quietly
down the stairs when no one was
about and ran out to play in the
meadow.
The two culprits gathered dais-
les till they grew tired. Then
seeing a large stone nearby they
sat down to rest. But, strange to
relate, no sooner were they seated
on it than the stone-for 1t was
a fairy stone-began to grow
higher and higher right up into
the air. Betty and Bobby were
too frightened to jump. and it
grew way up to the clouds so fast
that they had to hold on tight.
The white, fleecy clouds were soon
all about them, and there on top,
of one cloud was the dolly they
had broken, and sitting beside her
was the kitty whose tail they had
pulled.
Meow" said the cat. "You hurt
me and treated me unkindly. You
hurt the dolly, too, and you shall
be punished"
Immediately the clouds were
covered with many cats and dolls,
each throwing something at the
two naughty children, who dared
not even move for fear they would
fall off the stone.

throw anything more at us. We

CLASH OF COURTS.
Circuit Court Heads Off Criminal Court
in Brownies Case.

Chicago, June 4.-Lee O'Neil
Browne, of Ottawa, ILL.,, legislative
minority leader, awaiting trial on
bribery charges in connection with
the election of William Lorimer to
the United States senate, was surren-
dered by his bondsmen and within an
hour released on a habeas corpus writ
here today. This unexpected move by
Brownies counsel presages extensive
legal complications and a possible
clash of judicial authority.
The writ of habeas corpus was is
sued by Judge Kickham Scanlan Of
the circuit court, on the plea that
Judge McSurly of the criminal court
of Cook county, before whom
Brownies trial is scheduled to open
Monday, has no jurisdiction in the
case. Accompanied by his bondsman
Browne entered the sheriff's office in
the criminal court building. Attorney
O'Donnell was also with him.
Alderman Powers formally sur
rendered Browne to Deputy Sheriff G.
w. Peters and asked for the $4,000
bond that he had signed for the state
legislator. Browne was not taken to
Jail, despite protests made by States
Attorney Wayman, but remained in
the sheriff's office. Judge Scanlan set
the arguments for hearing Monday
morning two hours before the bribery
case against Browne is called in Judge
McSurly's division of the criminal
court

liberal space, and reports are coming
in to the effect that thousands are
coming from far and wide to see the
first heavier-than-air machines which
have ever scared above Kansas soil.
Tickets are going like hot cakes in
Topeka and number of the firms
which are handling their sale are
called at least once for a new supply.
Today there is a big demand on the
part of the children for the 25 cent
tickets. s
Arrangements to handle the crowds
are going on apace. The county com
missioners have given authority to
have the roads and bridges north of
Soldier creek carefully guarded to
prevent those who are not on business
bent or who have no tickets from
making an entrance into the field.
Police to Keep Order.
City police will be on hand in force
to aid in guard duty, and there will
be squad at the bridge to facilitate
matters should a congestion occur.
Farmers travelling to or from the city
will be allowed to pass the aviation
grounds but not to stop unless they are
provided with the necessary tickets.
Contracts have been entered into with
the owners of land adjoining the aVi-
alton field. These tracts will be pa
trolled in order that there will be no
destruction of crops.
There will undoubtedly be a lot of
people the first day of the meet, who
will go over to the North side believ-
ing that the" will be able to see the
machines soar without entering the
field, and some who will run their
chances of being able to make a dash
through the lines of patrolmen and thus
take full advantage of the meet free OF
charge.
These people are likely to be doomed
to disappointment as it will be impos-
stble 20 watch the manoevers of the
graceful bird machines with the ex-
Ception of the high flights unless one is
actually on the spot. Those who have
seen flying events state that the real
thrill comes during the start and fin
ish of the fight. Then there seems to
be something extremely fascinating
about the thugthug of an aeroplane.

around about the aviation field where
the International meet took place were

BOTH MEN PAROLED.
Coffee and Neff Freed by Judge Dana
This Morning.

William Coffee, past steward, and
John Neff. steward. arrested in the
raid of the Beaver club last December,
were paroled from their jail sentence
today by Judge Dana upon applica-
ton of Attorney z. T. Hazen.
Both defendants had entered pleas
Of guilty April to nuisance count
OF dispensing liquors at the club
lodge. William Coffee had not been
steward Of the club for several months
and had worked In Kansas City and
returned to work for the Green groc-
cry. He is at present working for the
Kiehl laundry. County Attorney
Schenk at the time recommended that
he be given a parole, as he had been
arrested long after his offense and
after he had quit the illegal business
for legitimate work. Hence it was
easy for him to get his parole today.
The county attorney was inclined to
fight the parole for Neff and cited that
he had quit his work with the Otto
Kuehne preserving works to tend the
Beaver bar and when sick sent his
16-year-old brother to fill his place and
violate the law. Judge Dana, how
ever, said he could not see why he
should free one defendant and hold
another, so he paroled both. Both men
have families, which fact determined
the court in their favor. Both will
have to pay their fines of $10O each.
