Afternoon Program.

While district judges are meeting
at the state house, their stenographers
are holding their annual meeting
in the first division of the Shawnee
county district court. The Stenograp PHI
ers have a regular organization known
at the Kansas Shorthand Reporters
association. The association will be in
session here today and tomorrow
The meeting opened this afternoon
with a paper on THE Outlook for
Court Reporting" by George 1. Barnes
Of Wichita. Richard Coyle of Great
Bend. recited interesting "reminiscences
of court reporting in the old days.
1t is hard to ina inc a court with
out a reporter taking down testimony.
But such was the case not many years
ago. Memory took the place of short
hand notes. longhand substituted for
the typewriter. Needless, to add that
arguments over testimony were many
and heated.
Must Be Accurate Now.
On the other hand, there were not
as many words necessary in filing
briefs and other court records Today
every record even to the crossing of a
''t'' is available.
1t was unanimously agreed that the
stenograp pliers in the senate and house
at Washington are the highest priced
in the country. They receive $500
year for probably the hardest and
most intensive work imaginable.
These stenographers must follow
speakers around the room, take down
statistics, be thoroly familiar with
every subject before the public and be
absolutely accurate. They work in
relays of ten and twenty minutes
While one man takes notes the others
are talking into dictaphones.
Among Those Present.

stenographers had reported at the

alcohol and the ground chemicals of

two hours fight the flames were
brought under control by the Mar

The explosion which started the fire
at 1880 O'Clock this morning, disrupted
the automatic sprinkler system and
made leaks in the water mains lead

blocks outside the city proper. To
render the task of the firemen more
difficult, a steam pipe which was part
OF an auxiliary pumping machine at
! the plant burst.
That there was no serious loss of
| life probably was due to the fact that
| most of the employees in the alcohol
refining plant were in the boiler room

| like a house of blocks at the explo-
