RAISE KING FUND
Already $2S Has Been Subscribed to
Reimburse Player.

It 2 o'clock today SIS had been
pledged to the fund being raised for
Bert King, the Kaw outfielder recently
fined 500 by President O'Neill because
of his actions in protesting against
Umpire Knapp's decision at last Sun
days ball game.
1t is hoped that the entire mount,
800, may be raised and collected by
Saturday when the team returns home
in order that it may be presented to
the loyal outfielder at that time. There
is no doubt that King will have the
fine to pay out of his own pocket. The
club management can not, whatever
the personal opinion of the men may
be. encourage a ball player in doing
anything to incur the di~spleasure of the
president of the league. But if the
fans, approaching the good work King
has done want to show him they are
for him. despite he mistake he made,
now is the time to deliver. Sunday a
lot of fans yelled their appreciation.
Now is the time to show whether or
not you're really for the player.
Contributions may be sent to this Of
flee, to Charles E. Joslin, secretary of
the Boosters club, or to George God
frey Moore, president of the club.
Following is the list of those who
had subscribed to the fund at 2 o'cIOck:

NEARLY ALL ON meter
Only Nine or Ten Who Have Failed to
Install Them.

Out of the 1900 people who were on
the fiat rate water system a year ago
there are only about nine or ten peo-
pie who have not as yet complied with
the ordinance that compelled them to
put in a meter.
In discussing the situation, Superin-
tendent Jesse Shaw said: Owing to a
statement that appeared in the morn
ing paper some time ago man, persons
who were on the fiat rate water sys-
tenn received the impression that they
would not be required to install meters.
Consequently when the ordinance went
into effect on May 1 there were sew
eral hundred users who did not have

until May p in which to comply with
the ordinance. At the present time,
however, there are only nine or ten
users of city water who have not in
stalled the meters and these are plan
ming to do so as soon as the plumbers
can get time to do it,"
There have not been many complaints
from the fat rate users eau they
were compelled to use the meters, and
inside of ten days all users of city
water will be on the meter system.
