HE DISSOLVED ORDERS.
MOtOrman Who Was Hurt Had In
structiOns to Leave Car

In reference to the Sixth avenue car
accident, in which Edward Richardson.
a motorman, was seriously injured
Thursday night, Howard Patten, as
sistant manager of the company, sail
today:
while we deplore the accident, and
will give the injured man every posi-
BILE care, it is fact that Richardson's
injury was the direct result of disobey-
ing orders. Thursday night he report
ed the trolley of his car out of order.
The night inspector to whom the re-
port was made, told him to back the
car in on the unused Jackson street
line, and await the repair men. For
some reason he did not do as told, but
attempted to make a round trip with
the car in its crippled condition.
THE rules against the use of disa bled
cars are very stringent with this COM
psny, and particular stress is placed
upon accidents affecting the trolley or
any electric connections. 1t has been
our policy to lay out the whole system
and stop traffic rather than risk tine
lives of our employees and an accident
to any part of the car affecting the
electric connections is particularly
dangerous. Richardson was so badly
injured that We have made no attempt
to ask him why he disregarded orders

PAGES AS LAWMAKERS.
Among Other Things They Iegislate
Against Bald Heads and Spectacles.


The mock senate held by the senate
nished some first class amusement
for small crowd of visitors and
showed above everything else that the
youngsters employed in the 1911 ses-
sion have copyrighted above 80 per
cent of the original ideas on law max
ing. The youngsters staged every
event of the session that was worthy
of mention and introduced some bills
that will probably stand without equal
even after the newspaper writers have
held their mock senate.
Here is one of the senate bills in
troduced at the mock session:
Section THAT no aviator, pro-
fessional or amateur, shall be allowed
to fly or navigate any airship or flying
machine of any description in any
subway or gas main in the state of
Kansas, as a spark from the engine
might ignite the gas in the gas main
or mains and cause an explosion there
in, and thereby consume what little
gas there is for the use of the con-
sumers of gas from said main or
mains; especially in Topeka and other
cities of the first class.
Section Amy person violating
this act shall be adjudged guilty of a
| misdemeanor, and upon conviction
therefor shall be fined in the penal
sum of one box of chocolate gum drops
not exceeding five pounds in weight"
Here is a copy of senate resolution
No 6, by Senator Scraper:''
IAN act to amend section AZ. That
| all of the senators and representatives
of the state of kansas. who ware

shall be caned. -. at once
The pages also followed some OF
the teachings of Prof. L. L. Dyche and
did a little legislating in behalf of the
meek and downtrodden skunk. Here
| is a bill-also prepared by Senator
Scrapper.
''In relation to killing large animals
before Oct. list of any year. Whereas
the large fur bearing animals of the
state are fast becoming extinct, and
whereas the oderiferous skunk has
been seeking protection by law:
Therefore, Be it resolved, that il
shall be a crime punishable by death
| to kill o'possums hereafter, in the
county of Shawnee, before the first
white frost.
This resolution shall be in effect
after it's publication in the Pittsburg
Hea dlight."
The mock senate also had a ham
mer out for the hobble skirt This is
an extract from a bill on that sub
| ject:
Sec. 1. That any person, man es
| woman, found wearing the hobble
skirt, shall be classed as nlisde-
meanof.
Sec. 2. And a misdemeanor shall
be fined in the sum of not less than So
or more than $25 for such offence"

urday night session and he was shorT
of official power in approved senatorial

HOTEL TRUST PLANNED.
Berlin Accommodations Are Growing
Faster Than the Patronage.

Berlin, Feb. 27.-More than mil
lion and quarter of visitors and tour
lists yearly is the record attained by
Berlin. Statistics just published show
that the number of strangers regis
tered here in hotels and boarding
houses in 1910 was 1,27S,6O9 One
fourth of these were foreigners. of
whom 3O.55O were Americans. The
high water mark of the American in
Vasion is reached in July.
In recent years the number of
hotels has grown faster in proportion
than the stream of visitors and now
an effort is being made to organize a
hotel trust in order to prevent too
rapid construction and maintain prices
at a remunerative level. A number of
the larger hotels have already formed
the nucleus of such trust.

Raymond Hitchcock will be seen at the
Grand March in one of the best
musical pieces written by the versatile
Geo. NJ Cohan, a play with an actor
as the principal character, 1.-THE Man
Who Owns Broadway" 1t lends itself
admirably to the peculiar comedy of
Mr.. Hitchcock and has been said to be
the best medium he has ever had.
While there is a clearly defined plot
that tells a story full of clean humor
with many flashes of dramatic acting.
there is little need of story for it is
Hitchcock and Conan at their best and
that means fun, good music and clever
