GRAIN DEALERS JOIN.
Will Unite With Commission Men in
Fight Oh New Law.

Wichita and Hutchinson grain deal
erS plan to test the conStitationality of
the act regulating the operations of
commission firms dealing in agricul-
tural or farm products. At a confer
ence with S. NJ. Brewster, attorney
general, it was announced today that
a suit probably would be filed when
the law becomes effective July 1.
L. H. Powell. president of the
Wichita board of trade. and J. H. Hep
pell, president of the Hutchinson
board, spent an hour in conference
with the attorney general today and
announced their plans. 1t has been
stated that the commission merchants
have already employed counsel and
are planning an attack on the new law.
Several commission firms dealing in
garden truck and produce have COM
biEed to fight the law. Now the grain
merchants will take chips in the game.
Unless there should be a decided
change in the entire plan of action, a
suit to enjoin the enforcement of the
new law will be filed in the Shawnee
county district court July l. The suit
will seek to block the enforcement of
provisions of the act by J. c. Monler,
secretary OF the state board of agri-
culture, under whose Jurisdiction is
placed the operation of the law.

BACK TO JAMES
Sand Companies Cite Law of
England in Complaint.
File Suit Against the State
Executive Council.

The law of England since the fourth
year of the reign of King James the
First is cited in support of the con-
tention that sand companies in Kan
sas should not pay royalty to the
state for removing sand from the
streams of the state. A bill of COM
plant against the executive council of
the state of Kansas has been filed in
the federal district court.
The compliments ask that law
enacted by the legislature of the state
of Kansas in 1913 providing for the
charging and collecting of ROYALTIES
for the removal of sand. oil. gas, and
timber from the beds of streams, be
declared unconstitutional and also
that a temporary restraining order
be issued and later made a permanent
Injunction.
The plaintiffs in the case are

sas City. Mo-; j. J. Paddock, j. A.
Paddock and c. NJ. Paddock, co-part-
ners doing business as the Manhattan

Arthur Capper, governor; J. T. Bot
kin, w. E. Davis, Earl Akers, w. d.

the state executive council, are the de-
PENDANTS.
The plaintiffs allege they are the
riparian owners of land to which title
was issued by the United States gov
eminent prior to the admission of the
state into the Union. They claim a
right thereby to take sands from the
beds of the Arkansas, Kansas and Blue
rivers
They also allege that the courses
of these streams have SHIFTED and what
is now the bed of the river, was at
the time title was issued dry land.
They also contend that an eXaction of
10 per cent of the market value of the
sand taken is depriving them of prop
erty without due process of law. The

Edward Rooney's Colony of Delin-
quents to Be Greatly Reduced.

The number of boys under juris-
diction of the Shawnee county juve-
nile court will be more than two
thirds decreased when number of
the delinquents will be paroled in a
few days, according to Edward Room
ey, probation officer
Of the twenty-eight who are ac-
lively reporting to Rooney and are
under his jurisdiction, twenty will be
paroled on good behavior in the next
week.
According to Rooney the temporary
detention home is making much good
work possible among Juveniles "Only
about five per cent of the boys placed
under our supervision are sent to the
reform school, says Rooney I'VE
have only one girl reporting to the
juvenile court. However, for some
reason or other, IS per cent of the
girls who come into the court we are
forced to send to the Beloit Industrial
school. Parents are more to blame
for this than anything else. They fail
to report delinquency among girls soon
enough-or before they are hardened
criminals.
THE most of the delinquency
among boys and girls that we have
had to deal with since school closed
is caused by lack of Playground"

RAFFLES DO BIG BUSINESS

Harvey Parsons, chief of police, is
as modest in the running of the police
affairs as are his methods effective.
In days gone by when a chief of police
started to clean up on a certain line
of crime, said chief was always par
ticular to drop a hint of what he was
doing to the press gangs that haunt
the dismal walls of the municipal
menagerie. Here's story of one of
ParsonSS recent cleanup campaigns
the campaign by the way being car
ried out without the aid of a brass
band:
1t seems that a number of proprie-
tors of pool halls of a more or less
shady reputation have been in doubt
until recently as to Parsons'S views on
running rattle boards and similar
games of chance. A meeting, it is
said. was held with reputable pool hall
and smoke-houSe owners excluded and
ii was decided by the gentlemen with
houses of shady repute to test" Par
sons's policy. 1t is also said that
these gentlemen were firm in their
conviction that Mayor House and
Chief Parsons would be inclined to
enforcement of the ordinance pro-
hibiting games of chance as FLAP
doodle"
Did Rushing Business.
a certain evening was designated
and rattle boards were placed in con-
spicuous places in the houses. A
rushing business was the result. So
firm were the proprietors in their
conviction that they would not be mo-
Tested, that few of them did not even
take the trouble to give away brass
collar button with each chance. Others
were more cautious.
The boards were placed in sight of
patrons about o'clock. ParSonss
ears detected rumors that something
was being pulled off about $40. By
. O'Clock he had the goods all
those violating the ordinance. Upon
each violator notice was served that
unless the boards disappeared i'm
mediateiy said Violator would take up
temporary abode at the city Jail.
One man. it is said tried to argue
the matter and began his attempted
persuasion on the chief something like
this:
