CRAHAM'S WOES
They Grew Out of His FOndneSS
for Celebrations.
He Tapped a Keg for Birthday,
Marriage and 4th July Rites.

When Judge George H. Whitcomb
finished his instructions to the jury in
the case of J. n. Graham, charged
with maintaining a liquor nuisance at
12O East Curtis street, the defendant
decided it was too much for him and
asked permission of the court to plea d
guilty. OF course the plea was ac-
cepted.
Evidence to show that Graham had
government license, and that liquor
had been found on his premises at
the time of a raid February Is, last,
was introduced. Then the defendant
own testimony was assailed several
witnesses swearing to facts directly
opposite to that told by the defendant.
He decided to throw himself upon the
mercy of the court.
In his own testimony he admitted
that he had a keg of beer to celebrate
his birthday. April 10. last, and that
another key was placed on tap to cele-
brate the marriage of his daughter,
June 80. Then he ordered a Is gal
Ion key for the Fourth of July, and
number of friends helped him to drink
it. But he denied selling any liquor,
even though admitting that he owned
government stamp permitting him
to sell.
Liquor cases will continue to occu-
ply the court, probably all the balance
of the week, there being more than a
score still to be heard.

THE COUNTERFEITER.
Kay-Bee Film at Best Theater Full of
Thrilling Situations.

Today and tomorrow the Best thea
ter is showing THE Counterfeiter," a
Kay-Bee feature film that holds the
attention from start to finish. A coun-
terfeiter, who has been very success
full, is finally caught by secret service
men, but manages to escape to the
west with his daughter. Buying
cattle ranch, he lives a square life for
awhile, but a long drouth promises to
leave him practically penniless. The
way in which he substitutes a bunch
of 1.-The queer" for perfectly good
greenbacks in the chest of an army
post paymaster, creates lots of eX-
element when the soldiers try to
spend their pay, and leads to the dis
covery of his identity. But his des-
perate fighting in an Indian encoun-
ter, and a restitution of the good
money. prompts the officers to keep
his secret.

topeka NIGHT SCHOOL
VIII Be Reality If Legislature Passes
Law.

In case the act providing for night
schools in Kansas cities. which has
been passed by the senate becomes
a law, Topeka will probably have sucn
a school.
IAN that is necessary is for seven
persons to petition for night school,
said c. C. Starr, superintendent of the
city schools today. Such night
school will grow in Topeka according
to the amount of available funds that
we have al our disposal.
"The most successful night school is
the one where a nominal tuition IS
charged and then refunded providing
that the attendance has reached Ger
tain standard. The bane of the nlght
school is the fellow who comes one
night and is away the next
t7T do not believe that a night school
of this kind would interfere with the
attendance in the grade schools and
high schools"

New York, March 1.-The report from
Washington that Charles D. HilIes
secretary to ex-President Taft is to re-
ceive $780, 900 in the business position
which he is about to enter, proves to be
without foundation. Edmund Dwight,
who is the New York agent for the

ton, is a close personal friend of Mr..
Hilles, and the arrangement for Mr..
Hilles to become associated with Mr..
Dwight was made more than three
years ago, before Mr. HiIles had ever

he has recently held. He is to become

not a salaried one. Mr. Dwight states

TO PROMOTE MARRIAGE
Muskogee Pastor Urges Establish

Muskogee, Okla, March 5.-In the
last series of sermons in which he is
urging the young people of his con-
gregation to marry, the Rev. e. d.
Cameron, pastor of the Central Bap-
fist church and formerly state super
intendent of schools, advocates the
city plating a "newly-wed" addition
and giving free lot to every young
couple who marries and will build a
home.
"Cities issue bonds for other per-
manent improvements" he said, why
not buy a thousand acres of land, lay
it off in lots and give every couple
when they marry one of the lots free,
provided they will build a house on it
and make a home of it. Cities offer
bonuses for other enterprises, why not
this one ?"
