CAR CRUSHES OUT
LITTLE GIRLS LIFE
Esther Personke Killed at Fort-st.
and Waterman ave.-Auto Patrol
Gives Prompt Service.

The police department on Monday
furnished another striking object les
son in the value of Commissioner
Croul's innovations. Within eight min
utes of the time eight-year-old Esther
Personke was crushed to death by
Fort car at Fort-st. and Waterman

the Scotten-ave. precinct had lacked
up the car and removed her lifeless
body from under the wheels and away
from the gaze OF a morbidly curious
crowd.
For several weeks, the auto patrols
have been equipped with jacks having
capacity of 15 tons. Thus the pa
trolls are equipped to do the work
properly belonging to the ID. u. r.
The slowness with which the traction
company works In cases of accident
moved Mr.. Croul to install the jacks.
Monday was the first time that the
police were called upon to do this sort
of work. After the arrival OF the
auto, 1t took the officers exactly three
minutes to jack up the car and re-
move the body.
Citizens who Witnessed the work
were much impressed by the efficiency
OF the officers, all OF whom have had
special course in this line of work
In the ID. u. r. barns. Commissioner
Croul wants 1t known that the depart
ment is equipped for this kind of
work, which has a double value, in
that ii serves to remove bodies Of dead
and injured expeditiously and also
facilitates traffic. The auto patrol was
manned by Signal Officer Rogers and
Patrolmen Kirk and Watson.

Washington, Aug. S0.-Frank H.
Hitchcock, postmaster general, who
has returned from New York, is the
only member of the presidents cabi-
net in Washington, but he is not hold
ing down the lid for the president.
He is in reality allowing one OF his

his time to the preparation of briefs
for the second-class postage rate
commission, which has just closed its
hearings in New York.
Mr.. Hitchcock indicated the legis-
Iation for the postal service which
will be recommended to congress this
winter.
In his annual report Mr.. Hitchcock
will recommend the establishment OF
a parcels post service on rural mail
routes; the capitalization in law OF
proposed increases in second-clsss
mail rate, and the enactment Of the
proposed law providing for a radical
change in the system Of compensat-
ing the railways for transporting the

Gov. Stubs has found a more direct
and satisfactory way to do 1t. The

was named to fill the vacancy caused
by the suspension Of Sheriff Martin
has answered the purpose.
There is not an open joint in Chero-

there are now almost as many vacant
buildings, with windows boarded up,
the doors padlocked and a notice
posted that the property is now in the
hands of the high sheriff of Chero-
kee county.
Gov. Stubs not only found the way
to get into The county, but the way
to dictate the enforcement Of law
after he got in. He called q. E.
Bramlette, who had been a factory
inspector, to Topeka and asked him
to take the place and close the joints.
Mr.. Bramlette took charge Of the
ONCE July 20. He announced to the
jointkeepers that they must go out of
business and observe the law. But
the jointists had heard that kind of
talk SO frequently in the last 20 years
that they laughed at the order of

Bramlette named ]. H. Holyneux,
