CAPTURE OF De WET.
He Was Pursued so Miles by Men in
Automobiles.

vryburg. South Africa, Dec g.
General Christian De Wet, the back
bone of the South African rebellion.
who was captured last Tuesday on a
farm at Waterbury. in British Bechu-
analand, has been brought here under
a strong guard.
This "wil.-o-the-wisp of the Veldt'
as he has been referred to by his pur-
suers, surrendered finally without the
firing of a shot. A motor car brigade
pursued him relentlessly through a
sandy and undulating country thickly
wooded with thorn brush.
The cars followed his trail for
many miles. DeWet zigzagged and
doubled over his course in an endeav-
or to throw off his pursuers, but the
Overridden horses he was obliged to
abandon in his flight blazed the way
for the men of General Botha. who
were hunting him down.
Before he was finally trappeu on the
Waterbury farm, General DeWet with
a few of his followers rode fifty miles
without a stop.

the Kansas City municipal farm,
made a short and favorable report of
the committees investigation, at the
end of which he introduced Mr..
Schneider.
'All persons convicted in the two
municipal courts of Kansas City are
placed under the control Of the We'll
the municipal farm said Mr.. Schrei-
Der.
For All Kinds of Men.
I'VE receive all classes of men at
the farm. Their offenses range from
drunkenness to picking pockets. We
do not get those convicted in the
criminal courts. The purpose of the
farm is for the uplift of prisoners.
1T is fact that when Kansas City
had a workhouse, the condition OF
some of the prisoners was worse when
they left than when they were COM
mltted. Eighty-nine per cent of the
cases which came into the municipal
courts during the last year in Kansas
City were the results of liquor. Many
of the cases resulted from the use OF
drugs. Crippled men and the 'unre-
sponsible' class of people are also re-
ceived at the farm. 1t is often the
case that there are irresponsible
persons who cannot be confined to an
asylum. These can properly be cared
for at the farm.
THE prisoners at the farm are al
lowed many privileges at the institu-
tiOns SO long as they do not violate
rules. The use of tobacco at the farm
is prohibited. For this prisoners will
violate rules oftener than for any
other thing.
Work Is the Medicine.
Every man received at the farm i.
put to work. When a prisoner is re-
ceived he is given a rigid medical ex.
animation by the institutioD's physi
clan. In his report the physician
specifies just what kind of work i.
suitable for the prisoner. The drinl
habit is treated at the farm and it i.
practically the only place in Missouri
where the habit is successfully treated
Last year the percentage il
escapes was only 2.22. Twenty-on,
hundred persons were paroled from
the institution in the last year. If tn.
prisoners do not violate rules they ar,
released after serving two-thirds O.
their sentence"

train which was to haul it was delayed
three hours before starting, during
which the dead head crew was asleep

quests of the men would work out when
applied to the varying services which

dftions.

GOING DOWN.!
Two Picture Shows Are Back ia
Nickel Basis
And Another Manager s<Has
Nothing to Say"

"All that goes up must come down"
runs an old couplet-
The Crystal and Gem picture shows
came down to nickel today. The
Best and Cozy still remain at dime.
The Aurora has nothing to say on this
interesting subject.
Frank Klingaman, manager of the
Crystal theater, and A. c. Michigan,
manager Oz the Dem, BOTH announced
this morning that their houses Would
drop back to five cents, matinee and
night. Lew Nathanson, manager of
the Cozy and Best theaters, announced
that the reduction in the prices of the
two theaters would have no effect on
the change in policy made just before
Thanksgiving.
"On account of the war;" prices in the
motion picture business doomed to a
considerable degree for the producer
and picture show owners. Each show
is paying a heavy war tax. Cartons
have risen from s. to 81 hundred.
The cost of films has increased.
The nickel picture shows in Topeka
combined and raised their prices to a
dime the Sherman act to the contrary,
Notwithstanding. Williamson claims
his business has been good at a dime
| and as he is showing features, he would
| continue to charge a dime. Klingaman
and McGuigan reported that business
has been picking up with dime prices,
ness at nickel prices and they dropped
back to their original admission charge
| today.
| The Aurora management had nothing
| to say.
1t was rumored that there is not COM
plete peace and happiness among the
ranks Of the picture show owners. 1t
is alleged that several Of them were
against, and others for the raising in
prices on Thanksgiving day. After
several strenuous debates and meetings,
it was agreed to raise the prices and
they did. Now some are coming back.
Il would rather have a full house of
i pleased patrons at a nickel than a half
house at a dime.'' Mr.. McGuigan said.
| Our expenses have increased, but
think that we will pull through the
depression successfully
II have nothing to say was the
terse assertion made through the win
dow by Mrs. M. F. Candy, proprietor
| of the --urora, to a reporter who tried
to interview her on the subject The
reporter gathered from the remark
| that one theater was not yet sure it
likes the high price scale.
| So tonight, there will be two houses
with regular three reel programs
charging a nickel and nearly all of
the other houses, with features and
| additional reels, charging a dime,

K. U. SCHOLARSHIP.
Figures Show an Increase in Top
Grades Of Ten Per Cent


Lawrence, Dec. 3.-Scholarship at
the University of Kansas has improved
9.49 per cent over last year, accord
ing to the annual report issued today
from the registrars office. Fourteen
hundred and seventy-eight students
this year have made above 80 per cent
IN everything, 2O9 of last year clam
bering from below so per cent into the
blue ribbon class. Eighty per cent is
taken as ar average scholarship mark,
a student must fall below 20 per cent
to fail.
To the men rather than the women
students, is due the credit for raising
the general scholarship. More men
made honor marks this year than be-
fore, their increase covering not only
the 9.49 per cent improvement but
also making up slight decrease in
scholarship shown in the records of
the young women.
About three hundred men on bas-
ketball, baseball and football squads
raised their grades over last year, the
! increases ranging respectively, four
per cent in basketball, five per cent
in baseball. and SO per cent in foot
ball.
| What factors entered into this inn
provement?" replied Registrar Foster
to question. We'll, the popular sport
| of this post-football season seems te
be to blame it on the faculty. Maybe
the faculty is to blame for this in
