SOAKED, THEY
TRY IN VAIN TO
CROSS THE BAR

Chicago, June 10-One hundred be-
draggled men, hunched close around
lone policeman backed up against a
huge vase in the center of the room:
smell of stale tobacco smoke; about
three tons of PAPER scraps on the
floors and ninety-six drunks-this was
the lobby of the Congress hotel at L
a. m. today.
Two hours before a bowling, delir-
iously surging mob wriggled and
fought and screamed and beloved
through the same great room. The
floor was covered with trampled pieces
of newspaper. broken badges, canes,
umbrellas, all beaten down in one
soggy mass of pulp where dripping
r1incoats and umbrellas had wet them
down. Near the elevator a satyr-like
figure leered at passersby and sidled
along into the crowd clustered in the
center of the lobby.
Nest of the crowd was keyed up not
to care if the big clock overhead
showed the beginning of a new day
All looked tired, their faces flushed
and lined
The air was horrible-thick and
heavy and carrying a stencil com,
pounded OF wet paper, cigars and
of human bodies.
The bar had closed.
The policeman leaned wearily against
the bronze vase and did his best to
smile tolerantIy at the mob which
centered about him He didn't have
any illusions, any patriotic mind pic
ture OF a great political party meeting
to write out the will of the people.
He would have had the same de-
tached air on duty at the morgue: a
fire; an Il" train accident-any-
where.

WANTS ENGINE NUMBER
Secretary BotIxin Asks Auto Owners to
Send Them to Him.

A new ruling that is expected to put
the quietus on auto stealing has been
made by J. T. Botkin, secretary of
state. A circular letter has been
sent this week to the S9,017 car own
ers in Kansas asking them to furnish
him with the engine number of their
cars and laying stress on the almost
unbelievable number of cars stolen
during the past year. Heretofore no
index of the engine numbers has been
kept by this department as it is not
required by law. A complete card in
dex has now been installed for engine
registration of all Kansas cars
sIt is to be hoped that car owners
will respond to Botkin's request" H.
S. Putney. president of the Topeka
Auto club said today when car
is stolen the tag is Immediately re-
moved and another one substituted.
The car then loses its identity. But
with the engine number on file and
properly indexed it will be an easy
matter to keep track of the car"
