They DID NOT KNOW.
Two Topeka Jointists Trife With In
junction and They're Sorry Now.

An example of the efficiency of the
liquor Injunction, County Attorney ST.
mon believes was shown in the case of
Thomas Carroll, a persistent jointist
of North Topeka, who pleaded guilty
to contempt of an injunction before
Judge A. w. Dana this morning and,
was assessed to pay a. penalty of
term of six months in the county Jail
and fine of $500.
Carroll, together with Ohio Battles
mas been persistent in the violation of
the law, Simon says. Under the usual
procedure he was powerless to stop
them from selling liquor. On three
different occasions recently alleged
joints, maintained by the pair, have
been raided, and each time as soon as
bond had been secured the jointists
went back and started selling again.
An injunction was asked against
four places used by the pair. A tenn
porary Injunction was granted and
again Simon says the law was violated.
Ten days ago Simon filed contempt
proceedings against both Carroll and
Carroll case came up this morning
with the result given. The Battles
case will be heard in few days. Tenn
porarily at least, until his sentence is
served. Carroll is expected to sell no
more liquor in the near future.
Fer the first time in the history of
the county, in the same hearing a
paddock order was issued by Judge
LANA. IL instructed the sheriff to take
charge of both the Carroll properties
on North Central avenue. north of Sol
der creek. and to lock them up. APP
plication for this order was made a
few days ago.
The present case is the sixth in
which conviction on charge of con-
tempt of an Injunction has been Sc
cured. and in all except one case the
penalty has been fine of $500 and a
six months Jail sentence. The excep-
ton was in the case of Mrs 7 w TaS-
sell, who was given only a fine of 500
and 80 days in jail for contempt.

Chief jenkins Seeks to Draft Motor
cycle Ordinance.

Morris Jenkins, the chief of police, is
trying to form some plan that Will pre-
vent tandem riding on motor cycles In
Topeka. He is corresponding with city
officers in this section or the country
and asking for copies of ordinances
governing such practice. He has not
been successful in obtaining one that
will answer the purpose.
Tandem riding on motor cycles is one
OF the most dangerous practices that
has come to the attention of the police.
A number of accidents have occurred
on account of this and BAG practices
are reported daily.
This practice, according to Chief
Jenkins, causes carelessness among the
riders and other bad practices which
are liable to result in collisions or
wrecks which might cause the death Of
the girl riding on the frame or of the
man who is running it.
Chief Jenkins, with the aid of the
city commissioners, expects to draft an
ordinance that will stop this practice.

and only begin TO speculate when We
can follow no farther.
But first what Is petroleum like?
Those of us outside the oil fields
are more familiar with its products
In the form OF gasoline, lamp oils and
lubricating oils, than with the crude
material as IL comes from the earth.
Tane, for instance, two specimens,
both from Pennsylvania, and they
might Just as well have been taken
from New York state. They were
found at about 1900 feet down In the
by shales. The fact that they were
found close TO each other and yet are
very unlike Is characteristics. one is
black and somewhat thicker than the
other lighter one. Take again, two
more oils from Mexico. one is very
black and thick because 1t contains
asphalt The other is light colored
and much thinner These occur with
in seventy-five miles Of each other,
but the oil fields themselves are found
here and there over an area of sew.
eral thousand square miles.
The first thing we must explain
about petroleum is why there are so
many varieties so different from each
other in the same region. The usual
explanation for this difference has
been that the asphalt which makes the
Mexican oils black and thick, is the
result OF the evaporation of the thin
ner oil and its oxidation at the same
time. This can not be true, because
we find that the light oil has no as
phalt in IT, nor is 1t by any means as
