OAKLAND'S ELITE IN COURT

A ''wienie roast that got into the
court column instead of on the society
page on account of the perversity of
a man who wasn't invited, took up
the time of the court of Topeka this
morning and finally resulted in the
dissolution of the ''wienie roaSterS'
from charge of malicious destruc-
ton of property The three defend
ants, young folks of Oakland's best
society, were discharged from custody
this morning by order of Judge Hugh
Fisher. Judge Fisher declined to
charge the costs of the case up to the
complaining witness. G. r. Jones; an
indication that he thought Mr.. Jones
had suffered some actual damage by
someone, even though not at the hands
of the defendants.

POLICE PICKINGS.
New Administration Cloud Brings
Quietness Over Station.

The mill of routine ground quietly
at the police station today. Possible
changes in the personnel of the de-
partment by the new administration
were the principal topics of discussion
among officers and plain clothes men.
Since Tuesday afternoon no DRINKS
have been captured and no rObberieS
of Importance reported.
Since Tuesday evening only two ar
rests have been made. Two men Civ
ing their names as Hugh Moondy and
Ira Dennis were picked up at the Rock
Island deport by Officers Harmon and
Douglas and booked on investigation.
John E. Lord, 112 West Eighth
street, reported this morning that his
brindle bull dog answering to the
name of 'Bulley'' had been stolen. A
report that a bay horse had strayed
from 1413 North Quincy street was
tele1 hOned in, with the usual number
of complaints as to the "neighbors'
chickens running at large"
There weer no proceedings in po-
lice court. George A. Huron, judge,
and Frank PARCELS, jailer, totaled up
their books and found that fines paid
into police court since April 1 have
amounted to only $4S-an unusually
small amount. After this informa-
ton had been passed around the sta
ton the discussion entitled, How
many Of us will be looking for a job
next week." was resumed.
A man whose initials are L. +. and

of a tent sleeping room owned by Mr..

young folks was that they had torn
some timbers from the frame to put
on their fire.

day and it was on their information

Cleanup Day at Lyman School;
Ready for Spring.
Wet Weather Stops Work at
Industrial School.

Clean up day was held at Lyman
school Wednesday by the pupils. Not
neighbors, they took time by the
forelock" and Spruced up the school
yard and building.
All of the trees on the school
ground were whitewashed, the ac-
cumulated trash hauled away, and
several stumps were sawed off and
burned.
The activities were not entirely
confined to the yard during the clean
up, as some of the older pupils who
have received training in their homes
in regard to household duties got busy
and scrubbed the upstairs floor,
busted, washed windows and made
themselves useful in numerous other
ways.
Rain Upsets Work.
Last nights rain has upset the pro-
gram of the north Shawnee farmers,
according to the reports this morning.
At the Boys State Industrial school
work has been suspended for short
time until the ground dries sufficient
ly to place the teams in the field.
Most of the farmers and truck
by this time, although in instances
the ground is just being titled for the
planting of oats.
The people of Topeka should have
plenty of onions this year and if they
don't it will not be the fault of some
of the north Shawnee truck garden
ers. One man is known to have had
eight men planting spring onions the
first of the week.
Farmers raising wheat are COM
planning about the wet weather.
What the wheat needs at the present
time is sunshine and lots of it. I'm

program from that OF the past few
days the wheat crop will be unusually

Science has aided in simplifying the
banishing of hairy growths from the

cialist, the most effective treatment
yet devised consists of applying della
tone paste to the hair surface for or
minutes. The paste is made by mix

and the skin washed every trace of
hair has vanished. BE sure to get

us inside. we are packed with the cruel
efficiency OF a hay baler, the doors close
again with uncanny silence and the
train starts. The only living thing in
our minds is the number Of our station
"a number not even name.
Out of this all has grown the New
IorH system Of etiquette. We no longer
have to wonder what we shall do In
this or that situation, for the very
atmosphere will prompt us. We have
learned, and our behavior is as fixed
as that Of the oldest of Old World cities
The subway has taught us to do Just
as We please, and the result is az fixed
and sure as II IT were matter of
rule We give up our seat according
to our mood, and move up in the car
or stand at the door as our convenience
and intelligence dictate.
We settled the ethics OF giving up
our seat to woman in the subway
before the side doors were cut. She
used to come in and scorning the
empty seats beyond. plant herself In
front OF US and muss up our paper till
we got up. II was a violent process at
best. this. and by the time she had got
us up and started us toward the less
desirable seats in the centre OF the car
she was so angry with us she would
not thank us. So she lost the habit, and

on the elevated there is crowding,

seems to result entirely from the
necessity OF closing those gates
outside, and will ease when they
are shut at last, so you cannot
blame your neightor for his lack OF the
tactile sense. To be sure, the seasoned
traveller on those trellised heights cares
quite as little about the pressure of
others against him as he who goes
underground. provided always that that
pressure is not one single hundredth Of

But not so in Little Old New York.
The pride OF our hearts Is not to jump
when a new subway construction gang
shoots off a charge OF dynamite under
our feet. and the finest thing in our line
OF self control Is not TO express any
emotion about anything in public.
We show our pale personalities in
such delicate ways as the manner in

Joining one or the other Of the two
grand divisions OF all New York urban
travellers, those who are seat getters
and those who are not. Being O seat
getter does not depend on whether you
are beautiful and young ami feminine
or sad and old and feminine. but on
whether you expect and desire to get
a seat.
Seat getting begins as soon as you
get out OF bed in the morning. You
start by remembering at just what
spot on the platform the car OF the
subway or the elevated train stops,
and on just that spot you stand, an
hour later. II you are q seat getter
YOU place yourself in the crowd at
just the right spot to be forced inside,
quite without effort on your part, at
the apex OF the pyramid of entering
passengers. You must hold your con-
cept, knowing just when and how to
turn your body so as to receive and be
advanced by the pressure from a certain
direction that will push you ahead and
leave you standing, embarrassed, above
the only seat in the car. into which you
must sink, a moment later, to ease the
pressure in the crowd OF stsndees
above you.
It is art. a distinct product OF New
York and OF the etiquette OF the sub
way. For II you are a seat getter you
are not necessarily ungentle. nor yet
unl<lnd or selfish, for you have so ar
ranged matters that your getting the
seat was perfectly inevitable The seat
setter illustrates the first principle OF
success. which in this merry city of
Mammon consists in building each Incl

such sure workmanship that success is

Mr.. Ford and his associates fully on this
point. My advice to such readers as are
interested in labor unions and the well

with John II. Lee of Detroit, who has

/ think, will tell you that labor's great
est opportunity is coming when men

Mr.. Ford believes that labor unions,
to go much further. must enter into
manufacturng-and is this too much
to expect? When you think that the
great Ford industry was started twelve
years ago with only $4,000 and has
never received another dollars worth

would have sand enough to enter the
