VAN SANDT'S ROGUE GALLERY

Chief of Police VanSandt has in
augurated a means of informing the
public of the criminals throughout
the country who may or may not be
in this section of the county. The
police daily receive descriptions of
men accompanied by their photo
graphs who are wanted in different
places throughout the United STATES.
These numerous descriptions are
usually filed away and the officers
soon forget the photograph. Chief
VanSandt has posted the photo
graphs in the hallway to police
headquarters where the public may
view them. He estimates that no
less than one hundred people a
week look over these descriptions
and 1t will be means of habling
him, through them, to locate Grim
inals in the event that they should
happen to come to Chanute.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF
UNIDENTIFIED boy
In Great Demand by Anxious
Mothers Throughout
the Country

Not in years has the little post
office at Walnut been so deluged
with letters of inquiry from anxious
mothers throughout the length and
breadth of the United States, ask
ing for a description or picture of
the young man who was killed near
that place last week by being run
over by a train. The body of the
boy was buried without being recog-
nized. However, while the body
was in the undertakers room at Wal
nut young man who is photo
grapher at that place secured a
picture which goes further in giving
a description of the unknown unfor-
tuRate than any other means.
At the time the photograph was
made it was not anticipated that
there would be a demand for them,
but since then the newspapers
throughout the east and west have
played up the accidental death and
that the boy was consigned to an un-
marked grave. The pictures have
been going out by every mail, orders
coming from as far east as Ken
lucky. AS a result of the foresight
cdness of the Walnut young man
who made the photograph, the vic
tim of the accident was given a
decent burial.
Officer Randall, when he arrived
in Kansas City Thursday stated that
there was a woman at the Union
Station in Mysteries, fearing that the
lad who was killed near Walnut
might have been her son. A number
of the passengers on the train had
photographs and through them she
was able to learn that it was not her
child.

FOR ED|FI ,k7ION
OF AUTOMOBILES
Chief Of Police Will Run CAT
Over Town Showing the
Various Speeds

There is a city ordinance pro-
hibiting the driving of automobiles
or motorcycles faster than ten miles
per hour on Main street and faster
'sthan eighteen miles an hour on the
side streets According to Chief of
Police VanSandt the ordinance is
badly shattered about every day by
enthusiastic drivers trying to ami
hilate space. However, the con-
viction of an individual exc eding
the speed limit is considerably like
lifting an eel out Of the water with
bare hands. The man at the wheel
is about the only one knowing the
exact speed of the car and many
times he is of very reserved dispo-
sition when it comes to telling all
he knows. 1t is the idea of the
Chief of Police to educate every
citizen of Chanute on just how fast
a car is going when it is running at
ten miles or eighteen miles per
hour. He has made arrangements
with an auto owner to cover Nam
street several times under watch
as well as the side streets at
eighteen miles per hour so that
the residents may know when the
ordinance is being violated. On
the car will be placed placard
reading "This car is going ten
miles per hour"
Ten miles per Jour is not a very
lively clip, but it is clip enough in
the minds of the city guardians for
certain sections of Main street.
The educational car will be placed
in commits ion in a few days and
then everyone will know just what
ten miles per hour looks like under
the watch.
