Mrs. Orlin D. Truitt, who lives
31a miles south of town, is suffering
from injuries caused by being
thrown from buggy. The acci.
dent happened Friday night about
II o'clock, when MIR. and Mrs.
rruitt were returning home from
town in company with Charles
Fritz They were driving south on
Santa Fe, near the Croft farm, when
an automobile came rushing down
on them. Mr.. Truitt pulled the
horse and buggy to one side of the
road into a ditch, but the driver of
the auto swerved the car and the
front fender struck the hind wheel
of the buggy. The wheel was
crushed and Mrs. Truitt was thrown
from the buggy. The autoists made
no offer to stop and assist the occu
pants of the buggy, bat speeded on
their way.
"We were clear from the road "
said Mr.. Truitt, "and | cannot see
how it happened that the driver Of
the car should have come into US.
He had to make big swerve and
go clear into the ditch in order 10

Chanute Will Have
Free Y. NJ. c. A.
City Commissioners Voted SIS
to Assist IN Fitting Up
Locker Room.

The city has donated S25 toward
the erection of locker room in the
new Floral Hall in Katy City Park
for the use of the boys of Chanute.
The donation was allowed by the
city commissioners at their regular
NEE ting Tuesday afternoon. The
commissioners have already given
permission to the Y. M. c. A. to
use the new Floral Hall when COM
pleted, for gymnasium and basket
ball court for the high school. The
new hall will be fine for this purpose
with one exception that there is no
bath and locker room. This dona-
ton of the city throws the use OF
the gymnasium open 10 every boy
in Chanute without the payment OF
a fee. Instead of being Y. M. c.
A. gymnasium run in the usual
manner and keep up by fees it will
be keep up be donations and re-
ceipts from basket ball games. Of
course nominal fee will be charged
for lockers and towels and certain
per cent of the receipts of public
entertainments will go towards keep
ing up the building.
The apparatus is SO placed that 1t
can be taken down when the hall
is to be used for fair purposes for
pubic meetings.
1t is the intention of the COM
missioners and Y. M. c. A. trustees
to build a good locker room with
large substantial lockers and to
equip the bath room with the latest
shower and tub baths.
"The use of this hall will be free
to every boy in Chanute" said
Mayor Lapham, "The young
people should have some use out of
the public parks and they will enjoy
having a gymnasium more than
anything else. A man will be hired
to take charge of the room and
everything will be conducted after
the manner of the Y. M. c. A. In
fact it will simply be the city free

THE EDITORS MEETING

The Republican Editorial Asso-
citation of the Third Congressional
District met at Fredonia, Saturday.
A goodly number of the editors
were present and a very enjoyable
meeting was held.
Contrary to the usual practice,
the wives of the editors were asked
to participate, and goodly number
of the fair ones were present to add
to the pleasure and profit of the
meeting.
The afternoon session was held in
the Masonic hall and the banquet
in the evening in the basement cf
the Presbyterian church.
This meeting was truly John Gil
mcre's. He furnished the banquet
and paid all bills, even the personal
expenses of the members. This
veteran editor has never been ac-
cused of doing things by halves and
he and his estimable wife surely did
the honors in way that made ev-

NO DIPLOMAS FOR THEM

Does a mao have to wear cap and
gown in order to receive his diploma?
This is the question which will be
decided in the Shawnee county dis
trlct court Waldo Morris and o. E.
Wag0oner, graduates of the law
school at Washburn college, refused
to wear cap and gown at the COM
meucement exercises and the law
faculty refused them their diplomas.
The boys are members of prominent
Topeka families and a mandamus
suit will be brought unless the
diplomas are given. Religious scru-
pies held by their parents is the
reason they assign for not wearing
the caps and gowns.

TWO DRINKS BEAT HIS wife

lola, Kas., June 6.-The ruling of
the Kansas Supreme Court that any
pers o1 in lawful possession Of intoxi-
eating liquor may drink 1t or burn it
or give it away, and which has given
so much Joy to the "Wet" contingent
of lola that they occasionally order
kegs of beer to celebrate the handling
down of the opinion, was given con-
str uction In the city court here today
that gave the liquor element sober
second thought,
Henry Selby met Arthur Burnett
and his wife. he invited Burnett to
have a drink Of whisky. Mrs. Bur-
nett protested and urged her husband
to accompany her home. Selby, IN
his wagon, followed Burnett and his
wife through the streets and halted
within a block Of the Burnett home.
SeIby gave Burnett another drink.
Mrs, Burnett again begged her
husband to cease drluking and enter
the hou e.
NaddeDed by The effects of Selby's
whisky an1 eufaged at his wife, Bur-
nett jerked her from the buggy and
osnL ueI. SeGby looked on durlug the
assault, an enthusiastic spectator,
Mrs. Burnett declaring that he
laughed at her pain and discontinue.
When Selby was arrested AID
arraigned he pleaded not guilty to
charge of unlawfully giving away
whisky. He admitted that he had
furnished Burnett with the liquor
and that it was his, part Of the
supply which he carried in his wagon
ia which he makes his home as he
travels about trading horses. He
asserted that he had committed no
offense, since there was no sale, and
pleaded the ruling Of the supreme
court. Judge Smiley found Selby
guilty aud fined him 5000 with a
sentence Of sixty days in jail.
The court held that the supreme
courts ruling could not be distorted
into broad license TO anyone to
use intoxicants in manner that
would result in disturbance and
damage. Selby loudly proclaimed an
appeal to the higher courts, but later
came into court and arranged to pay
his fine. whereupou the court sus.
pended the jail sentence during good
behavior.

Parks Will Be
Opened on July 4
Local Speakers Will Dedicate
Racing in Afternoon
Concert In Evening

Chanute parks will be formerally
dedicated on the 4'h Of July.
At meeting of business men an
citizens, held in the ciyy hall Fri
! night, plans for the dedication were
made and committees appointed tC
take charge of the arrange rents.
All of the speakers of the day
will be from Chanute. Cen,ra
Park will be dedicated in the morn
ing with an address by Mayo
Lapham and speeches by othel
local speakers. Kay city park
will be dedicated in the afternoon
with speaking and amusements OF
al kinds. 1t is the plan to have
some good harness, running and
motorcycle races with some free
amusements during the afternoC n.
The band will be on hand all day
and will give concert in Cen'ral
park in the evening.
Fireworks of all kinds will be
prohibited.
The following committees were
appointed to take charge of the
dedication: Finance, A. E. Frazer,
R. F. Cross and S. B. Hatcher.
Amusements, Charles Lsrrick, H.
w. 10y and Ben Levy. Program,
J. l.. Terrill, J. l.. Morrison and
H. N. Fllson. Printing, c. S.
Nation, A. H. Turner and Fletcher
Maclary. Police, ]. L. Lapham,
w. F. Sans and l. N. Johnson.
In this manner the parks, which
have been needed so long in
Chanute, will be thrown open to its
citizens. The agitation for city
park or parks has been going on
for many years but at no time, until
few months ago, did the agitators
receive any encouragement. For
years it seemed that Chanute would
never be able TO hold its head up
among its neighbor cities and say
that she was superior to them in
every way, for she had no parks.
70 the north, little Humboldt has
a park, situated in the very heart
of the city, of which her citizens
are rightly proud. The little
village of Thayer. to tie south, has
her park and band stand where all
public functions are held, and its
citizens wondered and talked of
Chanute because there were no
parks here. Parsons, Chanute's
only business rival in the state, has
her little riverside park, and she
looked upon Chanute in disdain
because there was no park here.
But now all of this has changed.
Chanute has two parks which Is
in deed credit to it and to which
Chanute citizens can point to with
pride as beautifiers of the city.
When the merchants hold their
Farmer Days the farmers will not
have to stand all day in the hot
street and eat their basket luncheon
sitting in their wagons. The park
will always be cool and shady and
visitors always welcome.
1t is the duty of every citizen in
Chanute to assist in the dedication
of the parks on the 4th and assist
the committees In every possible
manner.

Chanute Autoists VIII Hold
Out Of Town Meetings
Each Month

Club for club drives and entertain
ment this summer. The club is
stronger now than 1t has ever been
before and the officers are anxious
to make the Chanute club one Of
the best in the state.
One of the novel events will be
the out of town meetings If the
club. Instead of holding the regula'
m onthly meetings in office rooms IN
Chanute the president will select
some park in a nearby town or
some grove IN this vicinity and the
members of the club will drive to
the appointed place and hold the
meeting there.
81 think by holding the meetings
out Of town that much more in
terest will be shown in the meet
ings," said F. E. Bodley, president
of the club. "The members will
drive twenty or twenty-five miles to
attend a meeting in the woods or a
park when they wouldn't walk
across the street 10 meet in a hot
ctuHy off, % room
"We are also planning on a
number of sociabllity runs for this
summer. The club made few ct
these runs last summer and they
were a great success. Each time a
different pathfinder or guide will be
chosen and he will make the run
over the roads to be used several
days before the club makes the trip.
This will mean that route over
good roads will always be followed.
Basket luncheon too, will be one of
the features of this summers enter
ta1nment. The ladies in each car
will prepare the lunch and the club
will drive to some nice plcnicing
grounds and have luncheon in true
picnic fashion,"
The membership of the club has
been increasing rapidly and the
club emblems are giving Chanute
and its autoists much notoriety
over the country. The club en-
blems, while plain, are very attract
i've and noticeable at considerable
distance.
The good roads movement will
be continued this summer and the
club hopes to have excellent roads
to all of the towns within a radius
of fifty miles of Chanute by the
time the summer closes. The good
roads movement is spreading over
the country rapidly and the farmers
are entering into hearty co-opera-
ton with the auto clubs in keeping
up the roads. The right feeling is
being established between the
farmers and autoists in and near
Chanute. At first the farmers were
inclined to resent the good road
movement as they believed it was
being agitated simply for the benefit
of the automobiilsts. This was, of
course, the primary object of the
movement but the farmers have
learned that good roads help them
in their work and help increase the
value of their property and are
willing to cooperate with the club.
