JAIL ALL LOAFERS
hopkins Urges Enforcement OF
State Vagrancy Law.
Letter Sent Out to All County
Attorneys.

All Kansas county attorneys were
today urged to diligently enforce the
state vagrancy act and to make
prompt arrest of all idlers, agitators,
disturbers and I. w w. organizers.
The letter was addressed to county at
torneys by f. J. Hopkins, attorney
general
County officials are advised that the
present law is sufficiently broad to
cover all cases where persons are not
employed and employment may be had
In the community. An overt act on
the part of I. w W. representatives
and members is not necessary to con-
stitute a law violation and Justify ar
rest, the attorney general states.
In his letter of instructions, Hopkins
said in part:
ANY one engaged in any such COM
bination is engaged in an unlawful
calling, and may be brought within the
term Of the vagrancy law on that ac-
count. 1t has been clearly shown
members OF the I. w. w. have been
sent into the wheat producing terri
tory for the avowed purpose of induc-
ing men who are anxious to work
from working at fair wages and are
doing this at time when its tendency
Is to restrict the full and free pursuit
OF the farming business of this state
ana threatens to seriously interfere
with the harvesting OF the wheat crop
just at the time when every one should
be cooperating for the purpose Of
saving It, Consequently these canvass
ers OF the I. w. w. can we'll be prose-
cuted even tho they are not threaten
ing violence or personal injury to
workmen or employers and / urge you
and all sheriffs and police officers to
be vigilent in enforcing the law at this
time. In some cases also information
has come to this office of open threats
against young men who have come
into the harvest field which have led
n fafv in
case they refuse to join the I. w. w.
Those indulging in such threats are
clearly within this statutory defini-
tion Of the word vagrant and should
be prosecuted at once upon any evi-
dence that is sufficient to establish the
offence"

MORE KANSAS BANKS
Charters Approved for One at Usage
City and One at Parsons.

The state charter board today ap-
proved applications for new bank
charters at Usage City and Parsons
and rejected an application for a new
state bank at Montezuma, Gray coun-
ty. The Farmers State bank at Usage
City is capitalized at SIS, 900, while the
West Side Union bank at Parsons is
capitalized at $4,000.
Among the men interested in the in
corporation of the new Usage City
bank are a number of stockholders in
the Kansas Reserve state bank of To-
peka. A. A. Adams. A. B. Jackson
and Thomas G. Skidmore, all of
Usage City, are among the prominent
Usage county men connected with the
new institution. A second bank ap-
plication by several men interested in
present Usage City banks was rejected
by the board. Both banks sought
charters under the same name.
A charter was asked for the Kansas
State bank at Montezuma. The bank
was capitalized for $4,000. Owing to
present adequate banking facilities in
the town, the application was rejected
by the state board.
At a conference following formal
hearings. approval was given for the
opening of the new West Side Union
State bank at Parsons. No action was
taken regarding an application for the
West Side State bank, also of Parsons.
Each institution sought incorporation
with a capital of $4,000.

HARVEST HAND WIRE
Hines Sends Out Instructions to Di-
vision Superintendents.

Carrying out the policy outlined in
orders to the general passenger agents
and traffic managers of western rail-
roads relative to the movement of
harvest hands to the wheat fields,
Director General Hines has sent the
following wire to all division super
intendents:
About three months ago 1t was
suggested to the railroad administra-
ton that a special rate of one cent
mile be made for the movement of
farm laborers into the Kansas wheat
fields during the harvest season which
is now going on. This was denied be-
cause it was deemed impracticable to
make such a reduced rate for one
class of labor without making a SINH
lar reduction for other classes.
''It was then suggested that SPECIAL
arrangements could be made for the
movement of the farm laborers into
the Kansas fields, and arrangements
have been made under which the rail-
road administration will cooperate in
every practical way to facilitate the
prompt movement Of employed men 10
the fields, provided the normal tariff
is paid or a reasonable guarantee pro-
vided. The railroad administration
will assist in every way in gathering
men and forwarding them to the
wheat fields and is willing. II neces-
sary. to operate special trains for this
purpose"

3-CENT STAMPS GOOD
They May Be Used When Extra
Postage Is Needed.

Altho the old Scent stamps may
not be exchanged at the postoffice
for others. they are still good for post
age. Many persons entertain the idea
tilt because the stamps cannot be
exchanged, they are absolutely worth
less, r. c. Caldwell, assistant post
master, said today. But this is not
true The stamps are still worth
three cents. For example, If a letter
or package is being mailed on which
the postage charge is six cents. two
of the three cent stamps may be used.
"Our inability to redeem these
stamps and exchange 2-cent stamps
for them does not render them worth
less" Caldwell stated. They can be
used for postage just the same, and
are just as valuable as ever. The only
thing is, it would be a waste to place
a Scent stamp on a letter that will
now go for two cents"

DEMAND FOR PEARLS
EXCEEDS SUPPLY
ORIENTAL PEARL FIELDS EX.
HAUSTED AND NEW FIELDS
ARE BEING SOUGHT

CHICAGO-With the demand for
pearls so great the jewellers through
out the world are unable to meet il
and with the Oriental pearl fisheries
exhausted of all but small pearls, the
Australian pearl fisheries are comb
ing the tropical northern coasts OF
that island continent in an effort to
supply the expanding market.
pearl fishing is carried on in the
tropical seas of Queensland, the Nor
thern territory and West Australia,
says the British Board of Trade Jour-
nal. '3The pearl oyster inhabits the
whole northern coast of the common
wealth, length of shore of 1000 miles
The aggregate value of the pearls ta-
ken is not large but the pearl shells
are marketed in large quantities and
the industry in normal years gives en-
ployment to many people.
"The most important fisheries are
in Queensland. Torres Straits being
the center of production. A statutory
limit is fixed for the minimum size
.of the shell that may be gathered
Some years ago the discovery of moth
er-of-pearl shell in Port Darwin har-
Dor in the northern territory, caused
a rush of pearling boats from other
districts. But the muddiness of the
water, rendered almost opaque by the
heavy tides, prevented satisfactory div
ing and led to an abandonment of the
industry within three years. Prospect
ing new areas in the territory has
since been carried on and the industry
recently has received fresh impet-
u.s."
In western Australia, the centers of
pearl and pearl shell fishing are
Broome, Cossack, Onslow and Shark
Bay. The Shark Bay she'll is collect
ed by dredging in the deeper waters
and gathered by hand off the shallow
banks at low tide. In other districts
the fishing is done with diving appar-
atus in water varying from four to 20
The inshore banks have
been almost entirely worked out and
the fishing now is carried on from
.hree to 20 miles off shore.

MOSCOW TO HAVE
A BASE BALL TEAM
ARRANGEMENTS A PERFECTED MON.
DAY NIGHT FOR TWILIGHT
BASEBALL GAMES

Last night at the offices of the U. S.
Employment agency several dozen
baseball fans and players met and
formulated plans for real baseball
team
G. E. Walks was elected manager;
A. H. Crow, assistant manager; DR..
e. T. Baker, secretary, and Elmer
Paulsen, treasurer.
1t was decided to give twilight
baseball chance, and to ask all bus
mess houses to close at o'clock one
evening a week This will give all
an opportunity to attend, and some
mighty good games are promised.
Other towns are getting up teams, and
the we'll known but good natured riv-
airy between Lewiston, Colfax, Pull
man, Potlatch, Moscow and perhaps
other towns will be revived.
1t was decided to cooperate with the
chamber of commerce in every way,
and for everyone to get in and help
raise the means to equip a team that
will be a credit to Moscow; all bona
fide home players.
There are numerous baseball ex-
perts in town, who will only need a
little practice to round them back in
old-time form, among these being
