TOOK A JOY RIDE.
Boys borrow C. w. Snyder's Auto
mobile and Break 1t.

Another case of stealing JOY ride
took place Wednesday evening, when
c. W. Snyder's electric automobile was
stolen from the corner of Huntoon
and Polk streets. where it had been
left standing in front of the Christian
Science church. AS soon as the theft
was discovered, the police department
was notified, and searching party
was started out, but in the meantime
the party with the stolen machine had
a little hard luck, and the missing
wagon was discovered in a broken
down condition directly in front of
Ben Akers' residence at 1918 Fillmore
street.
Mr. Snyder said this morning that
he had reas son to believe that the ma
chine was taken by three or four boys.
However. it seems to be difficult mat
ter to get any information in regard to
persons who are stealing automobiles
continually. Similar cases are occur
ring every day in all parts of the coun-
try. but the Joy parties" are seldom
apDrehended.

HAVE MORE PROPERTY
Holdings of Express Companies in
Kansas Have Increased.

The express companies of the state
have filed their returns of personal
property valuation with the state tax
commission for 1912. The Adams COM
pany reports on s1,O25 as against s541
for 1911. The American on $25,454 as
against $22,275 for 1911. The United
States on $2O,142 as against $18,9SS
for 1911. The Wells Fargo on S11S,-
375 as against s3,901 in 1911.
The tax on personal property valua-
ton is small par. of the states reve-
nue. from these express companies.
The big tax is the excise tax of per
cent on the gross earnings per year of
each company. Last year the Wells
Fargo paid the excise tax on $135, 556.
The United States on s6O,OS9. The

POLICE JOTTINCS.

Roy Turner, who took a shot at
his stepfather, ]. C.. Ffchue, at their
home at 1871 Lincoln street Wednes-
day morning, was allowed to plead
guilty to the charge of shooting fire
arms in the city limits and was fined
SIS in police court by Judge n. B. Ar
mold Wednesday afternoon. The boy
and his older brother and mother
thought they were supporting the
stepfather and the stepfather thought
he was supporting them. Judge Ar
mold considered that there were cir
cumstanceS peculiarly in favor OF the
boys and the small fine resulted. Mr..
Fitchue, the stepfather, started the
day morning ard Roy, the younger
of the two boys, ended the trouble
as he ''plunked'' the man in the side
with d chunk of lead from a revolt
yer when the said man was late in
turning the corner of the house. MIR.
Fitchue insisted that the boy be prose
cuted. but would not file complaint
charging him with a felonious assault.
As a result the court could only con-
slider it an act of misdem and
the minimum fine resulted
Judge N. B. Arnold quotes Lord
Byron as follows: There are two
times when a man does not wish to be
he is in love and the other when at
his meals" In consideration of the
above lines and from the fact that
James H. Long, porter, insisted that
James Segsbee, who was in charge of
the store department at the National
hotel, give him a cake of soap while
the latter was eating breakfast, the
defendant was discharged on the
charge of assaulting Mr.. Long.
Mr.. Long asserted that he asked
Segsbee for a cake of soap that he
might do some work that was as
signed him. He not only refused the
soap, but took Mr.. Long by the arm
and led him away and demanded that
he not return.
Segsbee agreed with the complain
ing witness a nd added that the said
complainant wanted the soap when he
was eating breakfast and that he re-
fused to leave the said repast until
after he had satisfied his appetite.
He also said that Mr.. Long got fussy
peared before James Clark, the as
sistant city attorney. and wanted
Segsbee arrested. Mr.. Clark saw no
cause for an arrest and did not think
that the said Mr.. Segsbee had com
mitted violence of any character. Rut
Mr.. Long was long winded and insist
ed upon getting satisfaction, but the
court would not be the goat and the
case was dismissed.

 If Gandil cost $15,OOO he was not ex- pensive as far as can be judged from results to date. None of the players who were let out would be useful right now, as Cunningham was doing bench duty exclusively and Griffith was not using either Akers or Becker to any extent. The difference in receipts since Gandil joined, between what the club would have drawn without him and what it has drawn with him. to say nothing of the money the club should get from now until fall. will pay what he cost and leave a balance. The club would have won some games without him, but never could have compiled it's long streak of consecutive victories.
