SENIORS SAY GOODBY
High school Glass Day Exercises a
Decided Hit

One of the largest crowds ever assem-
bled in the high school auditorium wit
messed the class day exercises of the
senior class this morning. The class has
been promising the school a treat in tie
exercises and it certainly fulfilled its
promise if the remarks of the audience
count for anything.
The farces were a take-on on the differ
ent departments Of the high school. The
first farce was gymnasium scene and
displayed six boys dressed in boomers
and MILDLY blouses and their interpreta-

with the bank robbers. He declared
that in 1909-1O-11, more banks were
robbed in Kansas than in any seven
other states in the union
when we started after these fell
lows said the bank commissioner.
I'VE found one gang on the north line
and another on the south line The
officers in many instances were just
as big crooks as the robbers them
selves. It was puzzling how to r.
them. I sent for Burns. the detective.
He came to Topeka several times and
we began to hunt them down. At the
present time we have FL men in the
penitentiaries or in the 1afls awaiting
trial for Kansas bank robberies. These
men had been stealing 100000 a year
from our banks and were the best or
ganized and most desperate set of
crooks in the west Under the new
life sentence, these men have lost
their nerve and such of them as are
left, have hunted new fields"
Sheriffs Against Parole Law.
R. f. Heinselman told of the crimi-
nal and his parole He believed the
laws should be regulated in such a
manner that the criminal be given
every opportunity to present his case
properly. Then he told of. the adVan-
tages of the parole system. To these
theories some of the sheriffs took ex-
ception. They said they had too much
trouble getting the criminal in prison
to have him forthwith paroled by some
board that knew nothing of the facts
and circumstances. In the face of this
opposition, Heinselman did not push
his case seriously and soon subsidized
He insisted that the Kansas laws
should provide for a public defender
as we'll as a public prosecutor and
that this lawyer should appear not
only for the defendant in criminal
cases, but also for defendants in I'M
contested divorce proceedings

where heavy hauling is done has
brought out the opportunity to hire
idle men to haul and spread gravel
over the mud. In North Topeka, on
the East side and in South Topeka a
number of roads and streets have
been in bad condition for weeks.
Gravel will be sprinkled over their
surface.
Commissioner Stotts reports that
hundreds of idle men come to him
every day for work and all are willing
to take any kind of labor at $1-25 a
day. This is cheap labor and will save
the city hundreds of dollars in the
necessary removal of dirt from the
Melan bridge archways.
The gangs will be under the super
vision of Commissioner Tandy and will
