the interest was at once carried to the

CITY SUES COAL MAN.
Demands Pay for Coal Taken From
Under Streets.

Columbus, Kan, Feb. 19.-Situated
over one of the richest coal deposits
in southeast Kansas, Weir City has
been complacent and undisturbed
while for many years countless tons of
coal have been taken from under its
surface But now with the mineral
being removed from under the streets
at a point which is said to threaten
the city hall itself and some of the
principal business buildings of the
town, the city has gone into the dis
trict court and asked that r. L.
Thorp, the operator who is doing this
work, be restrained from burrowing
under certain lots. City ATTORNEY
Walker, who brings the suit on behalf
of the city council and the citizens.
says there is reason to fear that if the
operations are carried on by Thorp
the city hall and other buildings will
be endangered. District Judge Sapp
has granted an injunction restraining
Thorp from doing any more digging in
the prescribed territory, but held there
was no authority for preventing Thorp
using the excavations already made
for entry purposes.
The city also sues Thorp for the
estimated value of the coal he has al
ready removed from under the city
streets. This part of the action has
not yet been passed upon by the court
While extensive mining operations
have been carried on within the city
limits since the field was developed,
and street lines frequently crossed,
this is the first time the city has at
tempted to stop it or to collect the
value of coal removed.

to every year with great interest It
is a noticeable fact that in late years
that all the winners of these contests
are boys, while previous to that the
girls were the winners to a large ex-

of late years the girls are putting

CAN SMOKE IN PEN NOW.
Codding VIII Allow Prisoners solace
of Pine.


Leavenworth. Kan, Feb. 19.-No
longer will the "solace of the pipe" be
but a memory with the prisoners in
the Kansas state penitentiary at Ian
sing A new rule was esta blished by
order of Warden J. K. Codding, giving
permissions to all the. prisoners to
smoke three times day-after each
meal. The order went into effect this
morning and nearly every prisoner,
habit, took advantage of the oppor-
tunity.
There are several reasons for this
order" said Warden Codding, but the
most important is the fact that the
prisoners will be more contented. A
short period of smoking each day will
not interfere in any way with the du-
ties of the men, and it will have a
soothing effect on the inveterate and
habitual smokers"
Warden Codding expects some pro-
tests against suspending of one of the
most rigid prison rules, but it is his
opinion, and that of the other officers
of the prison as we'll, that a fair trial
will justify the plan.
The Lansing prison will be one of
the first state institutions in the cOun-
try where prisoners are allowed to
smoke The convicts have long had
the privilege of chewing tobacco and
all of the plug used in the Lansing
institution has been prepared in the
prison itself. Some tobacco is grown
on the prison farm but it is not
enough to supply the demand and a
large quantity has to be purchased
from Virginia each year Now that
the rule against smoking has been sus-
pended, it is estimated that nearly
twice as much tobacco will be needed
to supply the wants of the prisoners.

the civil service law he will accom-
pljsh something which no one else has
been able to achieve. For many years
the district commissioners have rec
commended to congress the enactment
of legislation such as is now suggested
by Mr.. Bristow. The attitude of con-
gress, however, has been that the dis
trict governn ent afforded an excel
lent example Of administration under
the old system, and that there was no
necessity for a change. Behind this
specious argument lies the fact that
the district offices afford a final ref
uge for persons whose influence can
secure for them an official position.
