Delta Lost Game
To Olathe Boys

There was fairly good attendance
at the football game between Delta
and Olathe High school teams on the
Garnet mesa grounds last Saturday
afternoon. and all we're well pleased
with the contest which was spirited
to the very finish.
The lads from Olathe were much
heavier than Delta boys, and this OF
course. has much to do with proceed
ure and success in gridiron battle.
The local team put up good nght'
however. and it looked several times
as though they might rush TO victory.
The score at the finish was IL to IA
In favor of Olathe much to the JOY OF
Olathe rooters who we're mere IN
goodly numbers.

We Had Perfect
Thanksgiving Day

After the blustry weather OF Wed.
nesday and Wednesday night the sun
came up clear and bright Thursday
morning. in sky as blue as the blue
in our nations flag-one of the per
feet days OF which we have had so
many during the fall and into the
winter.
And conditions generally were
blended with the glory OF the day.
Never before we're more bountiful
crops harvested. never more magnif-
icent turkeys raised, never such crisp
celery.
II is safe to say that never were
better dinners enjoyed or a period
when more universal good feeling pre-
vailed.
The usual services were held by the
religious denominations, but the main
feature OF the day was, as always, the
feasting and Thanksgiving in the
homes. at the noon hour.
There was much to be thankful for
which did not find expression on this
anniversary. but all OF these things
will no doubt be thought Of. or should
be. In subsequent reflections.
Let us continue to be thankful this
we are able to feel thankful.

BECKER TRIAL ARGUMENTS.
Lawyers Assert Conviction Was Brought
About by Newspaper Clamor.

New York. March Arguments to
be presented to the court of appeals in
the effort to obtain third trial for
Charles Becker, the former police lieuten-
ant, convicted of the murder of Herman
Rosenthal the gambler, were put in
brief filed with the district attorney by
Martin T. Manton of Becker's counsel
at New York Saturday. Copies of the
brief were dispatched to the clerk OF the
court OF appeals at Albany at the same
time. Beckcr's lawyers base their brief

That Becker's guilt was not establish
ed beyond a reasonable doubt
That his conviction was brought
about by newspaper clamor, the zeal OF
the prosecutor and natural desire of the
actual murderers Tor self-protection.'
That the testimony Of Jack Rose, one
OF tie witnesses for the state, reeks with
"duplicity and falsity."
Another reason why Becker should
have new trial, his lawyers contend,
is that they We're not permitted TO intro

PICKING A PICKPOCKET.
Rules That Guide Chicago Detectives

How to tell a pickpocket when you

difficult, for all applicants who take
the civil service examination to be-
come Chicago detectives are required
to have mastered 1t.
what are the physical characters
tics of pickpockets?' the would be
thief catchers are asked.
And this is the answer they are ex-
pected to give:
"Pickpockets ordinarily travel In
mobs and are of two distinct types
one small or medium stature, the other
tall and muscular As general rule
the age runs from eighteen TO thirty
five. Their hands are soft, show no
signs of work, and the fingers OF all
except the stall and particularly the
fingers of the wire are long and slen-
der. Their eyes are shifting and fur
tive. Their complexion is generally
sallow and without distinct color this
being due either TO prison pallor In
types or to the use Of cocaine or other
drugs. The cocaine users show drawn
features and prominent cheek bones
and usually have distinct rings around
the eyes.
THE temperament OF pickpockets Is
high strung because Of the dangers Of
the profession or from the use q
drugs Az the same time they are Pc
lite almost TO the point Of obsequiouS
ness. They seldom carry weapons ant
rarely resort to force. On duty thea
dress 70 suit the occasion, generally
well. but not conspicuously. They
avoid wearing anything that might
lead TO Identification" - Baltimore
