and Leave at the Sides.
A new type of street car is to go into
service in Kansas City. 1t will have
no vesdbules. The mOtorman will have
a small fnclosure, which will allow him
to operate the propeIling mechanism
without interference from passengers.
The conductor will have a small rail-
ing to the left of the rear entrance,
where he will stand and collect fares
he will face the front of the car in
stead Of the rear, as is now the custom
This, it is asserted, will tend to de
crease the number Of accidents and de
lays.
Passengers will enter and leave the
car at the sides. near the ends, as they
do now. There will be one more step
TO climb outside the car. As # is now,
the passenger climbs to the floor Of the
vestibule and then takes another step
as he enters the body of the car.

To THE PENITENTIARY
FOR A GUILTY NEGRO
JUDGE BRECKENRIDGE GIVES
TOM DRAUGHAN TWO YEARS
FOR BURGLARY.

Notwithstanding the fact that he
was busy moving all day yesterday,
Superior Judge NJ. A. Breckenridge
found time to sentence his first pris-
oner to the state penitentiary. The
prisoner was Tom Draughan Il negro,
who plead guilty to burglary in the
second degree.
After questioning the prisoner
about the crime, the court sentenced
him to serve two years at hard labor
in the state prison at McAlester.
Draughan was arrested by Patrolman
Barney Cleaver about two weeks ago
in connection with the burglarizing
Of the S. NJ. Bell grocery store, when
a large quantity Of tobacco was stolen.
The guilty man when arraigned be-
fore the justice of the peace few
days ago, signifed his intentions OF
throwing himself on the mercy of the
court and az soon as the opportunity
presented he was given the chance.
II is alleged there were two other
associates with Draughan when the
robbery occurred. one, Preston Wal
ker, died suddenly last week while
confined in the county Jail The other
is now in jail awaiting trial on the
charge Of burglary.

WOOL MEASURES
IN A DEADLOCK
LAFOLLE1'TE AND UNDERWOOD
CANNOT YET AGREE.
HOUSE LEADER POSITIVE
Lower Branch of Congress win Never
Accept Senate Bili-Agrcc on
Free List Bil.

Washington, Aug, Senator La
Toilette and Chairman Underwood of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, who have undertaken to recon
cile the differences between the Sem
ate and the House on tho wool and
free list bills for the full conference
committee, are in an unquestioned
deadlock with the possibility OF re-
naming so and thus forcing the ad-
journment OF the session without
action on either OF these measures.
The tie up is because Of the uncom-
promising attitude of LaFolette
against the House Bill He has told
Underwood that a rate below the
Senate Bin is an impossibiity, and in
response, the chairman Of the Ways
and Means Committee, who had
great difficulty in getting an agree
ment in the House to his BILL has
said that the House never will CON
sent to the Senate figures.
The contention of LaFollette is that
the senate rates constitute a reduction
Of about three-fOurths of the differ
ence Of the rate in the Payne-Aldrich
law and those in the House Bill, and
that it is impossible to go lower and
hold anything like all the progressive
votes; and that 1t Is better for the
Democrats to take "a half loaf rather
than get nothing"
"Mr. Underwood did not accept the
figures Of the Senate, but is quietly
canvassing tho House to ascertain
what increase over its rates may
be possible,
LaFollette has told some OF his
friends that the House might meet
the Senate halfway. but the Pro-
gressive leader merely smiled in re-
sponse to such suggestions. He told
Mr. Underwood that the difference
was with his party friends rather than
himself and they sustained him In
the statements.
The difficulties pertain entirely to
the wool bills. An agreement on the
free list could be had any time.

meeting was purely a business one
for the purpose of organization. The
following local Kentucklans were
elected officers Of tho organization:
Ed Grassland, formerly of Mayheld
KY, President; Conn Linn, Murray,
Ky, First president; w. !. Will
liams, Lancaster, Ky, Second Vice
president; Paul Avis, Frankfort, Ky.
Secretary; and Dan Pace. Murray,

At recent meeting Of the Ken
lucky Club at Oklahoma City, 1t was
urged that Kentucky Clubs be formed
in the county seat Of every county
and that each send a delegate to a
state meeting TO be held soon for the
purpose OF organizing a state Ken
lucky Club. DR., w, w Woody was
elected delegate from Tulsa County
The next meeting Of the Kentucky
Club will be held at the court house
on August 10, and all Kentuckians
