DECTECTINE SERGEANT SAYS
POLLOCK WAS DHUNK IN OFFICE

Captain A. S. Wright then took the
stand. He said that OH several occa-
Sons he was impressed mat Captain
Pollock was drunk in his Office because
his dcmcanor, which was to the po;nt
of insult, had led him to believe he
was nder the influence of drink. He
then told of an incident when Ser
gcants kellam, Willy and Tillor had
seized three suit cases of whisky. He
said that he had made Il rule that the
whisky should be transferred at once
But his detectives turned it over to
Andrews, the day janitor of Police
Headquarters. When lie investigated,
he said he found that Andrews turned
it over to Captain Pollock, md he al
ways believed that all of the whisky
had not been turned over TO Police
Court
He said that no was investigating
the matter from the detcctive end and
it ended there. Captain Wright said
that after reporting thtc matter to
Ciaicf Sowcll several times. and also
the alleged discourtcsy shown him BY
Captain Pollock, he let the matter go.
Policeman Brennan, who then took
the stand, said that he was with Pc.
ported intoxicated condition of Cap
tain Pollock but that he took no spec
ial notice OF him and did not observe
that he Wits under the Influence of
drink.
Policeman Walton said that he
talked with Captain Pollock that nigh,
about five minutes. but his opinion
was thai Captain Pollock was sober.
Walton said that tho only manner in
which he could toll Captain Pollock
had had anything TO drink was be-
cause he smelled some on his breath
Attorney Harry NJ. Smith, counsel
for Chief Sherry, and the other coun-
sci for the defense, then raised the
point as to the right Of seeing the
report and the evidence turned in by
the grand jury. Mr.. Wise said that
qcstion would be settled after Il con-
ference with Judge ID. G. Richardson
Of tho Hastings Court-Timcs Dis
patch, July %, 1918.

that he had nothing against Captain

FLAT OWNERS AS JANI1oRs.

A scarcity of janitors has COM
PEELED hundreds of landlords to take
care of their own heating plants, the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican
states. The trouble is confined to
two and three-hat buildings. In most
cases the owner lives in the building.
Heretofore janitors we're paid from
Sc to SO month for taking care of
a two-fat building. Now that so
many ianitors' helpers have been
called to war service a great scarcity
is said to exist. Janitors are demand
ing So for the care of a two-Aat
building, and rather than pay it the
owners are doing their own jani-

TRENCH-DIGGING WITH PLOWS
Machinery Used by Both British and
German Armies Instead of the
Spade of the Soldier.

Whenever and wherever it has
been possible to do so, gigantic
trench-digging machines have been
used for entrenchments instead of
the spade OF the soldier, writes a COR
respondent. Many hundreds of
"trench-plows," as they are called,
were used by the Germans in the
early days of the war, and that gave
rise to the common belief that the
Germans were the first to use them.
But SO long ago as the Boer war Brit
ish army authorities experimental
with plows and found them so sue
cessful that they became part Of the
equipment of the army.
The smaller plows cut trench 20
inches wide and 20 inches deep, turn
ing the earth over so as to form a
parapet. The larger ones will cut
trenches from three to four feet
deep, doing the work of so soldiers,
and in half the time. These plows
have proved extremely useful in
digging trenches in front of towns
and other prepared positions in the
path of the enemy.

.ONE MILE OF BATTLE FRONT
iBarbed Wire Used Amounts to Hun
dreds of Tons-MiIIIons Of Sand
Bags Are Required.

Few who read of "mile OF front"
have any idea of the enormous labor
and material that go to its making,
writes trench correspondent. For
a mile of front among the swamps OF
Flanders, for example, with its first
and second lines of trenches, its COM
munications and breastworks, the
necessary barbed wire is 900 miles in
length-long enough to reach from
London to Perth and back-and
weighs 40 tons.
The sandbags required for its pro-
lection number 6,250,000. So many
are they that placed end to end they
would stretch across Europe from
North Cape in Norway to Cape Mat
apan, the southernmost point in
Greece; and their weight is more
than thousand tons.
To fill these millions Of sandbags
and place them in position would
keep 500 industrious men at work
for twelve months; for the average
man cannot fill and place more than
25 sandbags in one night.
In addition to these thousands of
miles of wire and sandbags, $4,000
six-foot standards are required; 49,
600 small pickets, $4,000 running
feet of corrugated iron, more than
100000 feet of timber and vast
quantities of riveting material of
various kinds.

DON'T BE ASLACKER
Stay on the Job and Things
Will Right Themselves

kansas and Oklahoma farmers are
no cutters. They are doing their best
to increase the food supply Of the
country. The weather of late has been
very much against them but the only
thing for them to do is to forget the
weather. Where possible they should
increase the supply of available hogs.
The chances are it will rain before
spring and that will help the feed sit
uation. Hog prices are sure to remain
high for years to come. 1t will re-
ouire many years for Europe to re-
place her animal supply even though
peace should come at once. She can
not recover from the fact that her
breeding animals have gone to the
shambles until time will permit of it,
Today Poland is without animals.
The same is true in Northern France,
Belgium and Servia. There is a great
shortage in every Teutonic country
and among the allies. The farmer
who can raise hogs is bound to make
money and make it quickly. Hogs
can be raised and put on the market
before cold weather comes around
again.
There will be rare chance to buy
the best pure-bred swine in America
at the auction sales at Wichita dur
ing the Kansas National Live Stock

Dear Folks:
received the letter and the two
packages all o. k. and believe me
the cookies and plum butter sure
struck the right spot. We get plenty
to cat but you know about the short
age of sugar and we don't get very
much sweet stuff to eat.
havn't heard from anyone but
you since I've been here so you can
see that | havn't received a great
deal of mail.
Whenever you feel like sending a
package of eats that are sweet,
please do it before you change your
mind | am in a tent with seven
other boys. Two of them are from
Kansas and one of them worked in
the bank at Plains. He knows quite
few Meade. people and he knew
Ed too.
saw Earl Reinke at Kelley but
didn't have time TO see him. Ethel
Russell was there too. | have not
seen or heard of Dad NARROW since
the first Sunday at Fl. Logan.
Paul Gray is here in the same
Regiment with me but in different
Squadron. He is in the 46th and |
am in the 43rd. l think we will be
here about three weeks or a month
but don't know for sure.
Our squad was the guard squad
the night of the blizzard and my
watch was from to 3 p m. and
from IL to ? a. IN. The last two
hours was simply fright. Believe
me hat is cold proposition on a
night like that. | sure wished for a
Red Cross Helmet or my gray cap.
We took out Government insur-
ance day before yesterday and |
took $40, 1000. We sure get cheap
rate anly $3.50 for $4,000 per
month.
We have a wooden floor in our
tent now and it makes it pretty nice,
we each have stove and have to
cut wood for it. The wood is all
oak, hickory and maple and I'll Say
its hard to chop.
Well I'll close for this time and
will write again soon as l can and
tell you about my trip. Don't for
get to send the sweets.
Your son and brother,

GOOD INVESTMENT.

An enterprising Western man in
vested largely in tomato plants and
cans last spring, but the. crop of
fruit or vegetables he raised fell far
shirt of filling the 10000 cans he
had provided. But the price of cans
more than doubled in the season, and
he finds the empty cans are worth
more than he had expected to get for
them filled, so his investment has
been a profit-making one.
