Nesrly 200 automobiles were driven
TO the great farmers meeting at Hays
Kansas by teeir farmer owners. This
may be taken as an index of the pros
perity of people in the American de-
sert or of the quality of their roads or
both. One party drove ninety-two
miles in an auto to attend the meeting

Referring to our article last week on
Alois Staab parole, Judge Ruppenthal
writes that while he and no doubt the
mayor and city council would like to
parole him if he would leave the state,
it is beyend his control, as he had pa
rolled him, the parole had been violated
and Staab remanded to Jail and the
law says the only recourse now is the
action of the Governor.

He Prize Fight.

The great fight is over and johnson
won easy in the 18th round. Here the
sports turned out at the Air Dome,
where Gay Tillotson had arranged for
dispatches from Salina of each round
as 1t occurred. The dispatches were
fled in the Salina Office promptly, but
so immense was the rush of the tele-
grams that the whole fifteen for Hays
came in q bunch after supper and were
read at the Air Dome by George Cox.
The defeat of Je fries was to be ex
pected no matter how much they re-
gretted the victory of the black man.
All through the training Jeffries has
acted the baby, driving from his camp
men who came there to see him, even
refusing to see the Governor who had
made It possible to hold the fight in
Nevada, and at the beginning Of the
fight refused to shake hands with his
opponent, a thing always done in every
battle. So his defeat draws no svm-
pathy and not even the expected burst
Of enthusiasm Of bis friends. On the
other hand johnson has always well
coined everybody; he gave fine ex-
hibition to the Governor, and has al
ways shown confidence in his success
and inspired his friends even if he was
black man. Jeffries continually
counted on his popularity as a white
man and at the scratch proved but a
Daby in the contest and was hit un-
mercifully. Now he is retired as a
fighter forever with little honor for he
showed no skill in his last battle.
While the big prize fight has taken
months Of hard practice and cost the
contestants lots Of money to get ready,
yet the battle only lasted an hour and
they each picked up nice bunch of
money for their fight. The purse was
SOL, 900 with $4,000 added for ex-
penses, then the moving picture men
paid them grandly for the exhibit, 30
at the close johnson took in $145, 750
while Jeffries got $1O1, 900 and for such
q big sum they could well afford to each
take hard pounding. But those fel-
lows don't care for that if they cen
only get the money.

A False Rumor.

AS was expected, after the prize
fight and the victory of the black man,
there we're many clashes all over the
country between the white and black
enthusiasts, and Wednesdays papers
are full of the accounts Hays City
came near getting in the list. About
noon on Tuesday these kilograms came
to the Associated Press correspondent:
Report here that Sheriff and two
negroes killed in fight in Hays. Please
rush story. K. G. Star"
''Wire us full report of reported
killing of Sheriff aad three negroes at
Hays last night. Salina Journal
This was surely news out here as we
have not had colored man living here
for fifteen years. Sheriff Brown re-
sponded that he was well and hearty
and eating three meals dav. So the
wires flashed back the reply that it
was all mistake, and that Hays was
peaceful and in the midst of the grand
est harvest in it's history. No, Hays
is not that kind Of town any more.
Boot Hill is the location of nice resi-
dences, Dead Man s. Hollow is now a

THE PAINT AND POWDER CLUB

The history Of the Paint and Powder
Club. which is 10 give its performance
tomorrow afternoon at the New Ma
tional, is an interesting one. The club
was organized Il the fall of 1898 through
the efforts of several of the leaders Of
Baltimore society. The first production
which it was their pleasure to give was
an original comic opera. entitled ''Musta-
pha," by Mr.. A. Baldwin Sloan, one of
the clubs charter members, and was pre-
sented at Ford's Opera House in Febru-
ary. 1894. for the benefit Of the Children's
Country Home.
BY this time the Paint and Powder
Club was an established organization, and
Tie fall Of 1894 saw it incorporated under
the laws of the State Of Maryland. ready
for another seasons work The board OF
governors, wishing TO bring out as far as
possible the local talent, offered a prize
for the best opera suitable for their pro-
duction. but not receiving any up to their
requirements, unwillingly decided to look
to another city. and accepted the work
offered by Mr.. Guy Wetmore. of Column
bia College Dramatic Club. This proved
to be a splendid selection, for in Joan
Of Arc the club secured a work emf
nently adapted TO their needs and capa-
bilities.
The third season the club played Bluff

and best friends, Mr.. Charles E. Ford

not do better than to turn - Mr.. Robb
for another original opera, and this time
he wrote for them The Don Of Doroya, -
which was given in 1907 In the season
of 1903 the club gave with great success

POLICE CODE is QUESTIONED
Censorship of Theatrical Show
Raises Doubt Among Many.
Difficulty Found in Determining
status of District Regulations.
Unreliable Information.

In police circles last night It was ad-
mitted the department is treading on
thin ice in the censorship OF theatrical
performances. We do not take cases
to court" declared one official, because
in many instances we can induce man
ayers TO expunge lines or situations that
we consider improper, when we know
that no conviction could be obtained
under the law If the case was taken TO
court"
This condition is generally recognized
throughout the department except at
police headquarters, where petulance
was evidenced at the criticism to which
the department had been subjected.
There It was stated the police were not
proceeding under the provisions Of sec
ton S72 OF the District Code, but under
paragraph Is, page "a. OF the police regu-
lations with tho basic enactment OF
March l. 1901
Incidentally this case brings into bold
relief the difficulty found in ascertaining
the status of the law on any given sub
ject. and the unreliability Of information
when forthcoming. In quoting the sec
ton OF the code as authority under which
the police department was proceeding,
The Washington Herald made use OF in
formation furnished by police headqusr-
tiers.
Information respecting the laws. and
