WHITE SLAVE CASE.
Judge Pollock Takes Stand on Law
Governing Commerce.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 23.-In interpret
ing the Mann act at the opening of a
white slave case here, Federal Judge
John c. Pollock took a view that
seemed at variance with Judge, Van
Fleet, of San Francisco, upon whose
ruling Maury 1. Diggs and F. Drew
Caminetti We're sentenced to prison.
The law applies only to commercial
features of interstate transportation OF
women, the Kansas judge held.
Lee Baker of Peabody, Kan, was
arraigned to answer to the charge of
white slavery. He admits taking Cora
Slower to ST. Joseph, Mo-, in June, 1912.
Through his attorney, w. H. Carpenter,
Baker pleaded guilty to the charge.
DO you base this plea on the inter-
probation of the law in the Diggs case?'
asked the judge.
The lawyer replied that he did and
expected this court to rule the same
way.
Under the law. as 1 construe it. -
said Judge Pollock, TINS commercial
feature must be proved. 1t was not
the aim of congress to prevent the
personal esca pades of any man. If the
government cannot prove this man
took this girl to another state for
commercial purpose. I shall instruct
the jury to acquit him. The juriSdic-
ton of the government in cases of this
kind is based on the commerce laws.
Baker then pleaded not guilty and
the case went to trial.

Captain Shores had moved to the new
Kansas from Missouri and became a
radical freestate man. But after ne
led the freestaters to victory at Black
Jack he turned 'Copperhead" and
was finally requested to leave Prairie
City by the freestaters. He didn't
believe in slavery but he did believe
that states had a right to secede IL
they wanted to do so.
Capt Pates who was the command
er of the bushwhackers and Shores
had come from the same vicinity in
Missouri. So, after the Kansas boys
had taken % Missourians prisoners,

College Professor Gives Up Job for q
Lunch Wagon.

Evanston, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-Prof. A E.
Munier has resigned from the faculty
of Lake Forest college to sell sand
witches, peanuts, popcorn and the like
to students of Northwestern university
here. This was learned today when the
professor drove a new lunch wagon to
a desirab BILE corner and opened for bust
ness.
Immaculate in a cooks cap and a
long white apron the former instructor
boosted of the excellence of his red
hots" in rare English. Between sales
he gave his reasons for changing occu-
pations
It's not a joke" he said Its an
1ndisputa bic fact, worked out in econ
omics by myself. My salary as an in
structor was $3.50 a, month. What I
earned on the side came from tutoring
extra hours and I had no time for rec
reation. My peanut wagon makes my
living comfortably, gives me all out
doors for my workshop and I will lay
away $500 every month. Pretty soon
I'll have enough money saved to start
cafe"

RENEW ACTIVITY IN GAS FIELDS
Derricks Are Busy Near EIrie-NIay
Help Gas Affair.

Erie, Kan, Sept. 23.-Great activity
is shown in the southwest Kansas oil
and gas field, and especially in the
section round about Erie. There are
at present ten oil companies drilling
in the big Erie field and several new
companies are expected to commence
developing their holdings here within
the next few days. 1t is a conceded
fact among the oil men of Oklahoma
and southeastern Kansas that there is
more undeveloped oil territory in the
Erie field than in any other known
field in Kansas and Oklahoma. The
sand here is not as heavy as in some
of the larger fields, but since the
price of oil has passed the dollar mark
the production of a well here is a very
profitable investment One noticeable
feature in connection with the present
development is the fact that there are
no local men mixed up in the pros
pecting. 1t is true that quite few
land owners here are pulling down big
royalty checks, but there is no COM
pany of Erie men drilling in the Erie
field.

of All Its Glory.
ReneWS Warfare Which Exist
ed Several Years Ago.

Usage City. Sept. 23.-Osage county
is in the throes of another county
seat fight. The shire town at present
is Lyndon, where it has been for
nearly forty years Originally the
county headquarters were at Burlin-
game and there was a fierce contest
between that city and Lyndon, result
ing in conclusions so closely drawn
that each side claimed the victory.
Then one night a lot Of business men
and farmers of the eastern part of
the county made a descent on Bur
lingame, took the citizens by surprise
and the county records by force and
retired to a prepared stronghold at
Lyndon.
A few days later. about twenty
years ago, Usage City developed
strong sentiments county Seatward
and started a movement for a special
election. For some reason the matter
was never brought to issue. Another
attempt is to be made by the Usage
City faction to get the plum away
from Lyndon. There was a meeting
at Usage City to devise means and
methods of procedure. 1t was decid-
ed to send men out with petitions
calling for special election.

ORIENT ROAD PAYS.
Receivers Say Earnings of Line Are
Enough to Pay Expenses.

Wichita, Sept. 23.-The Kansas
City. Mexico and Orient railroad, I'M
der the receivership, has paid all ex-
penses of operation, according to a
statement made by J. Oak Davidson
of this city, one of the receivers ap-
pointed in charge of the roads affairs,
by Federal Judge John G. Pollock.
In the matter of operating ex-
penses, the Orient has been selfsup-
porting for some time said Receiver
Davidson. In spite of crop condi-
tions in the roads territory, it has
transacted profitable business. A
large volume of through or carload
shipments has been controlled by the
orient, producing good revenue for
the road.
The extension of the Orient to
Alpine, Texas, has opened up terri
tory which attracted much desirable
business to the road"

WANT COMMISSION PLAN.
Fort Scott Young Men Organize to
Start Campaign.


Fort Scott, Kan, Sept 23.-Fifty
young men, representative of the
more enterprising citizenry of this
city, met at the Y. NJ. C. A and
launched a Town Development club
by electing Jack Wilson, president;
DR. w K. Snider, vice president, and
James Mayha1l, secretary. A commit
tee, including the newly elected Off

articles of procedure to be presented

commission form of government for
this city, to be determined at the next
spring election. With the issue of
commission form of government dis
posed of, the club will take up an
other vital municipal problem-that
of municipal ownership of the electric
lighting SYSTEM now operated by a
St Louis com pany, and, as many aver,
at much higher rates than a public
ownership plant. Another problem
that already faces the club is cheaper
and better water. The present system
is a publicly owned plant, but dissatis-
the council-mayor form has caused
not a little discussion. This the club
will endeavor to solve
1t is the purpose of the Town De-
velopment club to admit to member
ship only the younger men. The club
will inaugurate its first permanent
session, it is believed, with a mem ber-
ship of at least 1,50O. Bimonthly ses-
sions will be held, at which time i'm
portant municipal topics will be dis
cussed and an effort made to further
the knowledge of city governments.
