we'll, was second in the Corona race

RENT HALL FoR BAsKErBALL
Old Redman Garage ON West Second
Again win Be Used

The high school and grade school
basketball teams will use the same
hall this year as they had last sea-
son. Arrangements have been made
for renting the old Redman garage
on West Second street and the bas-
ketball players will take possession
December /. For some time II was
feared that hall would not be avail
able and that basketball would have
to be given up, at least this year.
The arrangements were completed
Saturday.
Abilene this year will schedule
its games independent of the Cen
trail Kansas basketball league. which
organization has had a hard time to
retain its members for one cause or
another.
It was announced in chapel this
morning that because a better hall
could not be obtained, the girls
team would schedule no games with
teams from other towns. The hall
will be used for girls class games,
however.

UPHoLDs Jim CROW" LAW
Supreme Court Decides Test Case Of
Oklahoma Statute

Washington, Dec. sleeping
car, chair car and dining car ac-
commodations must bo furnished by
railroads for whites and negroes
alike.
This in substance was the deci-
sion Of the United States supreme
court in the test case Of oklahoma's 8
"Jim Grow" law which bars negroes
from such accommodations.
The opinion was read by Justice
Hughes and concurred in by Chief
Justice White and Justices Holmes,
Lamar and McReynolds.
Justice Hughes said that sleeping
cars could not be denied to negroes
because their demand for such ac-
commodations were few, compared
with the demands of white persons.
Substantial equality of treatment
must be provided for all travellers
the justice said.
The court, however, refused to
nullify the Oklahoma law because
the negroes who brought suit to re-
strain its enforcement, never had
been denied sleeping car accommo-
dations. Justice Hughes indicated
that the other questions raised by
the negroes had been settled pre-
viously and dismissed their suit.

bulletin TO Kansas stockmen warn
ing against the use OF anti-cholera
serum and virus which has been ex-
posed to contamination with the foot
and mouth disease. Previous to the
discovery and Identification OF the
dreaded cattle and hog plague
number Of hogs infected with foot
and mouth disease we're used by
some serum manufacturing compan-
les near Chicago in the manufacture
OF anti-hog cholera serum. AS soon

stroyed all the dangerous serum
they could locate. Fearing that some
of the infected serum and virus may
have escaped destruction. Commia-
sioner Riddle has cautioned the hog
owners of Kansas. against using

CHICKENS MUST NOT
BE ALLOWED TO WANDER

So long as Mrs. William Eggen-
berger's chickens remain on good
behavior, good behavior to he
bounded by the limits of the Eggen-
berger yard, all will be well; other
wise, unpleasantness will follow.
Complaint was made to the city
authorities that Mrs. Eggenberger
was allowing her chickens to run
at large. Called upon to answer the
complaint before Judge Porter, Mrs.
Eggenberger admitted that the
chickens had been allowed to run
loose, although she said, that was
not the reason why complaint was
made to the city authorities. A
spitefxl neighbor, said Mrs. Eggen-
berger, brought the complaint.
On advice of c. S. Crawford, city
attorney, Mrs. Eggenberser decided
to plead guilty to violation Of the
city's chicken ordinance" and
was fined IS and costs, the fine to
be suspended SO long as the chick
ems stay at home.
The case yesterday was re-
minder to others that the chicken
ordinance will be enforced rigidly
and persons who have been accus-
toned to let their chickens roam
about the neighborhood can read
good warning into the incident.

INJUNCTION SERVED
BUT SHOWS OPEN UP

The legal construction of Judge
Fox's decree. issued in 1911. enjoing
the South Side Improvement associa-
ton from fencing Beallview park, and
mentioning the holding of carnivals
and baseball games there as detri-
mental to the comfort of residents of
the neighborhood, is now the basis of
a fight between Henry H. Johanning
and the South Side improvement as
ISOLATION, to prevent carnival from
being held in block between L and
M streets, from Eighth to Ninth street.
Sheriff Bayer served a copy of the
judges decree on Adolph Blickwedel
president of the association, today, but
Blickwedel replied that everything in
the paper had been complied with,
and that the carnival would operate
as usual. Blickwedel refused to make
a statement for publication, and is
much incensed over the fact that his
name was used in the affair.
The carnival opened last night with
two shows running. There was fair
sized crowd. Business was small. how
ever, but the carnival management
promises to have things running full
force by tonight.
A regular meeting of the South Side
Improvement association will be held
! tonight at o'clock in Beallview park
Although not prearranged, the matter
of the injunction probably will be dis
cussed.
Johanning has not announced hi:
next move, but probably will file al
affidavit against the improvement as
socialtioh for contempt of court. II
this case Judge Fox will be called
| upon to make a legal construction o
his own decree, which is thorough!
complicated and which can be reason
ably construed for Johnanning and fo
the South Side Improvement associa
| ton.

.HANOLEY STARTS
MOVE TO CHANGE
MEMORIAL DATE
Believes Dissertation of Day
Would Be Stopped If Con-
gress Made Sunday Regu-
lar Holiday.

L. A. Handley is behind a movement
to change the date of Memorial day
from May 80 to either the last Sunday
in May or the first Sunday in June,
and thus find a solution for the desc
Grafton of the national holiday set
aside to commemorate the soldiers who
fought in the Civil war.
Il do not know yet whether or not
l shall present a resolution to petition
congress to make this change" said
Mr.. Handley today. Il want to wait
until the psychological moment when
the dissertation of the day has had the
effect on the members of the Sons of
Veterans and the Grand Army to favor
the change.
Mr. Handley has been promoting
such a movement for several years,
and has spoken at conventions of the
Sons of Veterans and the G. A. r. sew
eral times. However, if a fight is
necessary to secure the passage of
the resolution, it probably will not be
presented, as there would be no assur-
ance that the organizations would be
behind it in spirit.
THE day is a holiday now, and
there are motorcycle and automobile
races; baseball teams schedule double
headers long before the day; there are
picnic and every other form of diver
sion to draw the attention of people
from the real purpose of the day,
Mr. Handley explained.
Would Stop Dissertation.
eff the date were changed to the
first Sunday in June all preachers
would have special sermons, and there
would be less dissertation of Memorial
day. Memorial day this year falls on
Saturday, and of course this will pre-.
vent merchants and clerks from partic-
ipating.'
Tomorrow morning a good sized del
egation will leave Richmond for the
annual encampment at indianapolis. In
it will be represented the G.. A. R.,
Sons of Veterans, the w. R. c., the
Ladies of the G. A. r. and the Sons
of Veterans Auxiliary
Mr.. Handley is member of the
committee which makes the annual in
spection of the Home for Orphans of
Soldiers and Sailors at Knightstown
and distributes to each boy and girl
there. Besides the members of the
committee. of which Mr.. Handley is
a large number of others who visit
the home as matter interest
The Sons of Veterans will have two
delegates at the meeting tomorrow
and Thursday at Indianapolis. They
are Harry Garrett and Charles Davis
Besides the delegates a dozen other
members probably will attend. About
half of the past commanders of the
G. A. r. are expected to attend with
five delegates and alternates. The
w. r. c. delegates are Mrs. Nellie
Meyer. Mrs. William Austin and Mrs
Pearl McMinn, with Mrs. Ora STRAIT
ton, Mrs. Polinger and Mrs. Long as
alternates.

CITY DRIVES A GOOD BARGAIN
WITH THE TRACTION COMPAN

Now that it has been agreed to
grade that part of Main street under
the G. & o. bridge from the curbs
down to the grade of the declivity,
the paving of the street from the
river bridge to Fourth street can be
started.
Mr.. Todd in speaking to the city
officials, said he was gratified to see
a more friendly attitude on the part
of the new administration toward the
traction company and that the COM
pany would show in substantial ways
it's appreciation of the new policy.
Richmond has always been a sore
spot with u.s. Mr.. Todd stated. "The
city has always been in opposition to
us and l don't care If you know that
our expenses in this town for the
past six years has always more than
exceeded our receipts. If the street
car company had been an independ-
ent corporation it would have been in
the hands of receiver long ago.
Mr.. Todd said that the traction COM
pany had been overwhelmed with ex-
penses for year, caused by the 1913
| floods and the Indianapolis strike, and
informed the city officials that on
April 80, last, 1t had passed it's divi-
dend on preferred stock for the first
time since the company had been Or
| ganiZed.
Beallview and south end people will
| hail with delight the announcement
| that the long promised extension of
the South Eighth street line is at last
to become a reality, while the Morton
park officials were delighted with the
assurance that work will start at once
on the construction of line from
| North E street north on North Nine
| teenth street to the park entrance.
