KAWS GET PITCHERS.
Gear Signs Men From st. Louis and
Chicago-Rusty Gone.

Two pitchers have been added to the
Kaws staff which, it is believed, will
strengthen the club considerably. One
of these men is Forrest, a Chicago
semi-pro man who joined the club in
Des Moines and worked in both games
at Sioux City Sunday. The other is a
man named Quinn who has been play
ing with the St Louis team in the Fed
eral League. Quinn is expected to ar
rive here today and join the team when
they return from Sioux City, Tuesday
morning.
Forrest is a left-handed man. He took
the place of Rustenhaven who has been
sent to FIT. Worth, in the Texas League
on an optional sale. None of the local
association officers know anything
about Quinn but Gear has been after
him for several. weeks. He has a
mighty good reputation. ---
Gear has shifted the lineup by put
ing in the outfeld himself. The slump
in batting of the team made it neces-
sary for Gear to get in the game him
self and he is doing well. Gear is
looking for an infielder who can hit
regularly. Joe French is improving his
batting some but Cochran does not
appear to be improving any. However
neither is hitting as well as they should.
If they improve, a new infielder will not
be necessary.

Miller's New Plan.
Now ]. II. Miller of the State Agri-
cultural college has issued the follow
ing statement regarding municipal
owned ice plants, and assuring Kan
sas towns that the college will CO.
operate by furnishing information and
estimates as to cost an dexpense of
estimates the plant and expense Cf
operation. The Miller statement is as
follows:
Il was pleased with Mr.. Dawson's
proposition to have ice plants declar-
ed public utilities and the price of the
manufactured ice regulated by the
board of public utilities. But why not
go another step and have the towns
and cities own their own ice making
plants. The majority of the water
plants in Kansas are owned and oper
ated by the municipalities. 1t is a
comparatively simple matter for such
city to install an ice plant and man
ufacture ice for the public as it fur
nishes water, at cost plus a fixed as
sessment of expenses and interest and
a slight charge toward a sinking fund.
feel safe in estimating that any town
owning its water plant can install an
ice making plant and furnish ice to the
public for twenty cents a hundred
and reserve enough interest and ex-
pense charge to renew the plant when
necessary or to make extensions after
five years without further taxation.
hope some progressive town will
start this. Many small towns might
operate these ice plants only during
the summer season and as all pro-
gressive towns will own their light
ing plants the ice plant could operate
iOl u
least. The extension division of the
Agricultural college will help with
plans and specifications for plants and
advise as to operation"

Topeka Merchants Interested
in q. S. Court Decisions.
They Concern Arbitrary Setting
of Retail Prices.
THE CASE OF PHONOGRAPHS
Patentee Sets Price at 5000 on
500 Machine.
Trials of Retailer on This and
Many Other Useful Patents.

Many Topeka merchants, who deal
in patented articles, are deeply inter
ested in the recent decision of the
United States supreme court which de-
creed that the patentee may not fix
the price at which his article must
be sold by the retailers to the public.
And they are keenly hoping for the
day when the effect of this decision
Will become general. They will be per-
mitted then to do business with these
patented articles on a competitive basis,
and the people will reap the benefit of
lower prices on many things that they
would like to possess and also need.
OF course. when these conditions pre-
vail, the merchant will make a smaller
gain on each individual sale of any
such article. But as far as Topeka
merchants are concerned, they believe
that the lower prices to the purchas
ing public will materially increase the
volume of their business and that their
aggregate profits to keep their business
in these patented articles on a fairly
remunerative basis.
This decision of the supreme court,
which has attracted the great attention
ance juStifi6S, is a reversal of a deciS-
ion of the same court on the same sub
ject that was made in March, 1912. At
that time the court held that patentee
had the right to fix the price at which
his goods might be sold to the public
Chief Justice White wrote a dissent

JAIL FOR M'FARLAND.
John Hanson Wants Probate Judge
Behind the Bars.

John F. Hanson, the legal luminary
who has given many manifestations
of late that he is not at all pleased
with the way justice is administered
in Kansas, appeared today before
Judge Whitcomb in the second divi-
sion of the district court, with an ap-
plication that the county attorney be
instructed to begin proceedings that
would land Judge Hugh Mcfarland of
the probate court in Jail. Mr.. Hanson
is of the opinion that Judge McFar-
land is guilty of oppression in office
and that no punishment can be too
severe for him.
Hanson told Judge whitcomb mat
Judge Mcfarland had arbitrarily de-
MED him a review of the appointment
of a guardian for Swan Johnson. He
justly ad5udged insane by former
Probate Judge Schock, who had ap-
pointed a guardian that had abscond
ed. He said that Judge Mcfarland
had appointed a guardian to fill the
vacancy thus created and that he had
refused to review the appointment of
this guardian.
In presenting his argument to the
court, Lawyer Hanson said among
other things that the only way to get
things done properly in the courts was
to put some of the judges behind the
bars. He asked that the machinery
be started to put Judge Mcfarland in
of the appointment of this guardian
for Swan johnson.
Judge whitcomb denied the appli-
cation, 1t being his idea that If Judge
Mcfarland was guilty of anything it
was nothing more than making an err
ror, and he did not feel justified in
ordering his prosecution by the coun-
tv attorney for such a cause.

Municipal Owned Ice Plants Is
the Remedy.
Agricultural College Behind
New Reform Idea.
ICE At 20 CENTS. MILLER SAYS
Suggests New Idea for Fight or
Ice Makers.
Also Approves DawsOn'S Plan
for New State Laws.

Municipal owned ice plants, insur-
ing ice 10 the consumers at not to ex-
coed 20 cents per hundred pounds, is
a plan advanced by J. H. Miller of the
Kansas State Agricultural college in
q circular endorsing Attorney General
Dawson's theory for putting ice manu-
facturers under the supervision of the
public utilities commission. Miller
suggests that Kansas towns go a step
farther and install their own ice MAX
ing machinery in connection with mu-
nicipal waterworks or electric light
plants
Many small towns in Kansas already
own their own waterwOrkS system In
a number of the towns the city oper
ates its electric light and water plant
Jointly. And while the taxpayers and
property owners are able under this
Arrangement to save much of the cost
Of electricity and water, they are the
victims of the local ice dealers. Now
the Agricultural college professor sug-
&c SITS that at very small cost the
towns owning waterworks and electric
lighting plants can install ice making
machinery and put the ice trust out of
business.
Ice at 30 Cents Per 100 Pounds.
Up at Manhattan the Agricultural
college heads have figured that Kan
sas town may operate an ice plant in
connection with its waterworks or
electric light plant and furnish ice to
local consumers at not to exceed 20
cents per 100 pounds. At this price.
il is claimed, the city will be able to
pay the cost for manufacture and re-
serve sufficient earnings to cover in
tsrest. depreciation and accumulate a
sinking fund sufficient to insure the
renewal of the plant at the end of five
years without additional taxation.

college was issued after the publica-
ton of an interview by Attorney Gen
eral John 5. Dawson, in which he

TO BUILD A ROAD.
Five Counties Will Combine to Build
Beloit to Colby.

County commissioners in five Kan
sas counties will meet at Downs to-
morrow and lay plans for the building
of a modern public highway through
Osborne, Rocks, Graham, Sheridan and
Thomas counties. 1t is the first real
movement in the fight to establish mod
ern county roads through the western
counties and the enthusiasm which has
characterized the work in that district
indicates that the plan may soon be-
come state wide.
The new road will be almost "as
straight as the crow fies,'' according
to the present plans, based on an air
line plan. This new highway viii not
only be a model dirt road, but will be
a direct cutoff from Beloit to Colby.
The commissioners of the five counties
will start at Downs, go to Osborne,
Stockton, Hill City, Hoxie and Plain

prevented a panic among eleven hun

a lively air and playing it, though the

fire was caused by the burning of
motion picture film and was through
the efforts of the operator confined to
the operators room. Twenty minutes
after the incident, the audience was
again filling the theater for another
