BIC SCHOOL Event
All Topeka to Participate in
Athletic Gathering.
Six Thousand Children to APP
pear at Fair Grounds.
PROCLAMATION FROM HOUSE
Civic Holiday for the Afternoon
of May 10.
MarshaIl's Handicapped $4,000
Spectators.

"All Topeka will participate in a
mammoth school athletic event on the
fair grounds the afternoon of Mon
day. May 10, either in the events
themselves or as spectators. Under
the direction of w. P. MacLean, di-
rector of physical education for the
public schools 5000 children will go
through the drills and indulge in
games, and an attendance of at least
$1,000 spectators is expected.
The statement was made at a meet
ing of the newly formed Topeka Play
ground association at the Commercial
club quarters today that ]. f. House,
mayor of Topeka, had agreed to issue
a proclamation declaring civic half
holiday for the afternoon of May 10.
MarShaIIS band will be present on
the grounds to furnish the music for
the drills. 1t is hoped to make ar
rangements with a representative OF
the Pathe Weekly to be present to take
a picture of the 5000 children in &C
ton In each drill at least 600 or 700
will take part.
Charge of Only a Quarter.
A charge of twenty-five cents will
be made to the big school meet. The
idea is to raise money to maintain
under supervision at least five play
grounds in Topeka this summer. To
defray the expense of operation SS,OOo
must be raised. ASIDE from InaI u
is proposed to purchase necessary
equipment for the grounds, the bill
to be paid next year.
According to Director MacLean, the
great field meet will be annual
event and admission will be free after
this year as hereafter there will be
available funds to pay for the main
tenance of the grounds. School boards
are authorized by a new state law
to make a levy of a quarter of a mill
for playground purposes. 1t is like
ly that the Topeka board will levy
one-eighth of a mill, which would
raise approximately $3.50.
Harold T. Chase was named as
chairman of the Topeka Playground
association. Other officers: Secre-
tary, w. P. MacLean; treasurer, c.
w. Morrow. w. P. MacLean, Alfred
Hill, and Frank L. Snow will compose

The executive committee will con-.
sist of the officers named together

"QUIC" FORFEITS GAME
Boston Wouldn't Play New York and
Umpire Acted.

New York, April 29.-The game be-
tween the New York giants and the
Boston Nationals, was declared for
feited this afternoon by Umpire Quig-
ley because James Gaffney, president
of the Boston club, refused to permit
the team to play the giants with Ben
ny Kauff, crack center fielder of the
Brooklyn Federals, in the Giants
lineup.
Kauff jumped to the Giants about
five minutes before the time for call
ing the game.
Notwithstanding that the game had
been declared forfeited play was start
ed minutes after the time sched-
uled for the game. Umpire Eason said
had told him that Kauff should not
play. He was left out the Giants
lineup. John McGraw played the game
after reminding Gaffney that it had
been declared forfeited

Want NIGHT JAIL0R.
Rotary Club Protest to County to Be
Sc Considered. ..

The fact that for many months the
Shawnee county Jail has been locked
up at night without night Jallor
has called forth a protest from the
Topeka Rotary club and a demand
upon the board of county commits
sioners that a guard be hired to stay
in duty in the Jail building during
the night time.
torney; has been preparing an opin-
ion on the question of whether the
expense of maintaing night Jailor
should be borne by the county or at
the personal expense of the sheriff or
from the deputy hire allowance made
for the sheriffs office.
In an informal opinion Atchison to-
day pointed out that the difficulty
will probably be settled in few
weeks by the report on Shawnee cOun-
tvs population. If the recent enum-
Grafton shows 10000 or more popula-
ton the county commissioners legally
may hire night jailor, for there is
a special statute to that effect. The
be available in about a month. In
the meanwhile the county Jail is I'M
guarded at night.
The question of the night guard
over the county'S prisoners dates from
the time the state legislature put the
sheriff on a salary and fixed his al
1owance for deputy hire, Some of the
time the sheriff has kept a guard
there at his own expense, his deputy
allowance being used up for the reg
ular day force. His application for
a special night man has been turned
down by the county board on the
ground that no legal authority for
such an expense from the general
fund exists.
There appearing to be no probable
ity of agreement between the sheriff
and county board, the Rotary club
members have interviewed with a verb
al demand which has been repeated on
one or two occasions before the COM
missioners' meetings.
1t looks as though the matter might
drag without action until a report
is obtained on the last census which
is expected by county officials to show
more than 10000 population and to
automatically put the county under
the special state law

PLAINFIELD
Perseverance of Disappointed PouI.
 try Raiser.

A Certain young poultry raiser took box of eggs to the incubator where he had a layer reserved for 300 eggs, but after the bottom fell out of the box just as he was about to fill the in cubator he found that only three eggs survived the unexpected precipitation. Undaunted, he procured more eggs and matched out 200 little chicks. These he placed together in one room One morning, after about a week, he found that 40 were missing. A small hole in the corner of the room convinced him that a rat paid hifa an unweI- come visit. Two days elapsed, during which the hole was cemented up On the third morning 30 more chicks had departed from the flock. There was no sign of them anywhere. The poul- try man began to think a two legged rat was the caller. The following morning 35 more chicks were gone. This time the poultry man felt sure that it was a weasel that was the thief. That night he determined to find out what it was, so with his trusty rife in hand he took a place with the chickens and watched till 4 a. m. tol1ed in the old stone church. Out of the original 200 chicks he still has 95, but he is game and says that next spring rather than sell the eggs, he will set them again.
