CHIMNEY CORNER
LAW TIRES MAYOR
SAYS HE WANTS ORDINANCES
ON STATUTE BOOKS OF CITY
THAT WILL STAND.

Mayor Roberts is scratching his
head and developing a crouch, and
from his statement it would seem
that he has kick coming.
Almost every day he is confronted
in police court with problems chat
from a common sense point of view
amounts to nothing, but which the
laws on the statute books of the city
say are violations of law, and the
result is that it is either an appeal
and lost case in the higher courts. or
a dismissal What the mayor con-
templated doing is this, according
to statement from Kim in the police
court this morning where the case of
the City VS.. ]. II. Akers was being
tried for an alleged violation of the
city ordinance relative to the selling
Of cold drinks.
The mayor stated that he was going
to get with the city attorney and so
over the ordinances of the CITY and
do away with what he termed a lot of
corner law that was against
The constitution as well as void of all |
reason and enact such ordinances in |
their stead as could be enforced. The |
mayor stated that he was tired of |
having cases appealed and taken to
he county only to have the defend
lnts beat the case in higher courts.
nd if it was within his power the
ity would have ordinances upon the
tatute books of the CITY that could
,e enforced and made to stick.

AWFUL WA[LOP INC
CAMPBELLITES ROMP ALL OVER
THE HARDSHELLS AT CITY
PARK YESTERDAY.

The Baraca class baseball team Of
the Christian church administered a
crushing defeat to the representa-
tives of the Broadway Baptist church
at the city park yesterday afternoon
in the presence of a small crowd Of
adherents of both classes, by a score
of II to 4.
The Hardshells never had look
in, from the time the game started
until the last one was out in the
seventh inning, and the only conso-
latiOn the Baptists may enjoy is
that their regulars were not in the
game and a lot of '-dubs" were sub
stituted. However, this should not
be charged against the Campbellites.
They were there prepared to play
any old team the "footwashers" migk.
produce, and if they failed TO pro-
duce their best it was no fault Of
the Christians.
1t was the quietest game ever pull
ed off in the park. The Baptist del (
egation headed by Daisy Nichols ami !
Mrs Henry had nothing to cheer for, |
in fact they were cheerless, and the
were always so far ou' /
in front that urging them to better
effort was useless.

YOUNG JAP PANESE
DENOUNCE CABINET
FOR FAILURE TO SETTLE CALL
FoRNIA QUESTION - STRONG
ANTI AMERICAN FEELING.

Toxic, July 9.-The government is
having difficulty breaking up anti
American meetings. The younger
element is busy denouncing the Jap
anese cabiiNt which they declare has
failed in settling the California ques-
tion. They say the time has arrived
for the people to assume a more de-
termined attitude and extend the ma
tional prestige.
1t has been decided to continue the
attempts to arouse public opinion by
further anti American meetings and
the distribution of manifestoes.
The speakers who advocate the most
radical measures toward the United
States were the same men who have
daily tried to stir up the Japanese
public during the last months.

the acre and that portion weighed
out 62 pounds to the bushel. The
remainder of the crop averaged twen-

Mr.. Alverson has the credit of beat
ing Judge Potter Of Cooke county
by one-half a bushel to the acre but
he must tal1e his hat OFF to the wheat
growers in Marshall county, near
Kingston. Cecil Williams, a banker,
of Kingston, was here yesterday and
reports that r. l.. RADON thrashed

Gddings is perhaps the best known
of the five. He has friends in every
corner of the state He has stumped
the state more than one and claims
to have made more stump speeches
than any man in the state.
