Carnival People Plead Guilty to vio-
lating Child Labor Law.

H Snyder. proprietor Of the Carnival
company playing this week at Garfield
park. pleaded guilty to violations OF the
child labor. law and was given the min
1mum fine of SIS in Judge Garver's court
r. w. Norton, father of three children
complained of, was fined 81 and costs.
The arrest was inStigated by KilmaurS
w. King, humane OFFICER. King has been
a frequent visitor at the carnival. Monday
night he noticed the violations. He again
saw the performance Tuesday night. Last
night he visited the show and when the
children appeared in a contortion act, he
notified the sheriff's office and that of the
labor commissioner and Snyder and Nor
ton were taken to the county jail, where
they later gave bond. No warrant was
issued until this morning.
The carnival management stated that
when 1T came to Topeka it invited the
officers to visit their shows and If any
of the acts were Objectionable, they would
be withdrawn. Snyder said he was I'M
aware of the Kansas child labor law, as
this was his first visit to the state. He
presumed when no complaint was filed
Monday night that his show met with
official approval and the acts were con-
tinued. King, who found the infringement
on the Kansas statute. neglected to speak
to the management about the violations of
the law and also failed to obtain a war
rant for the arrest of the management.
When these conditions were stated in the
court of Topeka, the defendants pleaded
guilty and were given the minimum fine.

RAILROADS FILE ANSWER
ISay That Grain Inspection Is Not
Necessary.

The attorneys for the railroads filed
their answer in the supreme court to-
day in the mandamus suit filed by the
state to test the constitutionality of the
grain inspection and weighing law. The
fate of the Kansas grain inspection de-
partment at Kansas City, Kan, de-
ponds upon the decision of the supreme
court in this case
The state seeks to enforce the law re-
quiring payment of weighing and in
spection fees by mandamus. The rail-
roads in their reply today, deny thai
the inspection and weighing of grain
at the Kansas City terminal is neces-
sary for the protection of shippers and
producers or for the stability of the
grain market. They allege that the
greater proportion of the Kansas gram
is sold without inspection. anyway.
That the fees under the law in ques
ton are unreasonable. That the law is
unconstitutional. Last, but not least
that the law is a regulation of inter
state commerce and therefore in con-
flict with the laws governing interstate
commerce.
The answer cites the case that much
of the Kansas grain is sold by sample
and shipped without inspection.

IsbeI Gives Local Business Men an
Option.

Wichita. May 1S.-After a conference
between Owner Frank Isben of the
Wichita Western league franchise and
business men of the city which had
lasted all day, Arthur Pauline this
afternoon purchased an option on the
club.
This option holds until the 9th of the
month and the figure agreed upon IS
$4,000. This amount is $1,000 less than
the price IsbeIl asked and which he
said he would stand for or take his
team to Pueblo. The plan of ownership
is a stock company and there is little
doubt that the $4,000 will be subscribed
