CELEBRATES THE DAY
Mary Marshall Gets Drunk and Steals
RaincOat.

Mary Marshall, negro woman, cele-
brated the passing of the old year and
the advent of the new in a characters
tic manner. She walked up in the city
Jail today with the remnants of wine
jag and a stolen raincoat. Judge Rob-
ert Yates found out all about the OWL
erShip of the raincoat before she was
brought into the courtroom.
We'll, Mary" he said as she took
seat you celebrated the passing of
the old year in great shape, didn't
you? Got drunk and stole a rain
coat"
Now lissen, Judge" said Mary
with the regulation police court whine,
"befo Gawd, ah been as straight as
a string up to Yesterday. [ took little
wine and it went to ma haid.'
Sure said the judge, you took
little wine-about a half gallon
it went to your head and you stole
raincoat."
Mary had been lodging the raincoat
matter.
Huh, that raincoat. Why, ali done
bot that raincoat often a white man
out here on Fiji
Now, Mary" continued the judge,
don't add lying to the rest of your
New Year sirs. I know all about
that raincoat. For getting drunk. for
stealing the raincoat and for lying
you're stuck, let's see, $50"
My Lord" echoed Mary and fol-
lowed a policeman out.

Parents of Jesse Weaverling
Seek Damages in Topeka.
Suit Brought Against Becker
and Not j. r. Johnson.
At RATE OF 60 MILES AN HOUR
AlIege That No Warming Was
Given 12-Year-Old Lad.
Two Drivers on Bond Charged
With MansIaughter.

Ten thousand dollars is the amount
of damages asked by George X. ana
Anna Weaverling of sos western ave
nue. for the death of their 12-year-old
son, Jesse Weaverling, killed by an
automobile, at the intersection of sixth
and Western avenues, october 80. Splt
for that amount was filed in the dls-
trict court today against Philip and
Golden Becker.
Golden Becker was driving one of
the TWO cars alleged to have been
racing out West Sixth when the boy
was struck and killed. The other car
was driven by J. r. Johnson, but he
is not mentioned in the petition filed
today. Philip Becker is the father OF
Golden Becker and is proprietor of
the Palace Garage at 1113 West Sixth
avenue.
Ferry, Doran & Gosgrove, the attor-
neys who filed the suit, allege that at
the time the boy was struck Becker's
car was travelling at the rate of sixty
miles an hour; that Becker is guilty of
careless, wanton and criminal negli-
gence. They allege that he gave no
warning of his approach and that the
boy, now dead, was guilty of no negli-
gence; that he had no chance to es-
cape the racing cars.
How Boy Was Killed.
Jesse WeaVerling was killed while
going home from school to his midday
meal. He had left some boys on the
south side of the street and had cross
ed the car tracks when two speeding
automobiles, driven by statesmen, bore
down upon him, one passing south and
one north of him. There were half a
dozen witnesses but they did not
agree, at the time, as to which car
! struck the boy.
Ihere was much public concern over
the killing and warrants were issued
for the two drivers, Golden Becker and
j. r. Johnson, charging them with
manslaughter. Their cases are due
for trial in the district court at the
January term. The men gave bond
and were released Immediately after
the warrants were served.
The boy was the only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Weaverling, and the parents
looked forward to the time, when, in
| their old age, he would aid in support
| ing them. The father is a miller en-
! ployed by the Topeka Milling COM
1 pany. He had been working in To
! pel1a several weeks at the time of the
accident while the mother and Jesse
] had come to Topeka from Omaha
only two weeks before the boys death
Jesse Weaverling died within a short
time after he was carried in off the
street. He was practically dead wher
picked up. Among the items of cost
listed by Mr.. Weaverling, as paid is
! a bill of $33 for the services of a ply
stefan and surgeon. The total cost is
! fixed at S19S. The remainder asked
for by the father and mother, $9,S02
! is for punitive damages.

ANTI-BERLIN RIOT
Town Changes Name to Kitchener and
Z. S. Soldiers Celebrate

Kitchener, Okla, Jan. 2.-Following
a sweeping victory at the polls of the
Citizens league, formed when the
name of the city was changed from
Berlin to Kitchener, with a view of
reverting to the original name riot
was started by the men of the 11Sth
battalion, who are on furlough and the
city is under MARTIAL law tonight. A
hundred men of the 122nd Muskoka
battalion stationed at Gait, are not pa
trolling the streets. When it became
known that the Citizens league had
not only elected Alderman David Gross
as mayor, but had carried the entire
slate, the soldiers of the 11Sth formed
a parade thru the streets shouting:
Are we down hearted2 Noi'
Tear Down Union Jack.
Someone attempted to tear away a
Union Jack which one of the soldiers
was carrying and the riot started.
Provost Marshal Osborne, of the Lon
don district, ordered the soldiers to
dispense, but without result and he at
once sent a call to Gait for a guard.
The soldiers raided newspaper office
and two members of the newly elected
council were injured. The provost
marshal ordered the men to disperse
and declared martial law.
The arrival of the hundred men
from Gait put an end to the disordere
