WORLD WIDE MOVE
Kansas Would Extend Prohibit
ton to All Parts of Globe.
Celebration Over Victory in U.
S. Held Here Last Night.

Four hundred Kansans sent King
Alcohol to his gleeful grave wednes-
day evening. And to salt it all down and
make sure that the king should have
a fitting memorial, the veterans of the
prohibition fight listened carefully
while the speakers of the evening pro-
nounced their several funeral orations.
With Kansas dry III 10. the United
States dry in '19, the prohibition forces
are now proposing to engaged IN the
work of making the world dry in
20" g.
At the call of DR.. Edmund James
Kulp, POSTMASTER, Clyde Reed re-
sponded to the first toast of the even
ing as the substitute of Governor
Henry J. Allen. who is in Washington.
Reed said that it is his and the gov
ernor's greatest regret that the Kan
sas legislature met at a time which
prevented this state from being the
I first to ratify the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States.
Justice John Marshall responded to
the toast which was to have been given
by James A. Troutman. He,paid high
tribute TO the efforts of Troutman. ex-
! Governor st. John and to the w. C. T.
| L. in the prohibition fight.
Three members of the famous dry"
| legisla ture of 1879 were honor guests
| of the evening-Chief Justice w. A.
Johnston Col w. w. Smith and l.. j.
McCrumb, of Alma. The present leg
islature which voted for the prohibi-
ton amendment was represented by
a. NJ. Keene and Mrs. Minnie J. Grin
stead.
The press and the church were each
represented at the meeting, the former
by E. w. Hoch of Marion. and the
latter by DIR. Charles NJ. Sheldon of
Topeka Mrs. Lillian Mitchner. state
president of the w. c. T. u, and w. ].
Herwig, superintendent of the Kansas
Anti-Saloon league, outlined the work
of the two organizations and what they
expect to do in the future in aiding in
making the whole world dry. Music
for the evening was furnished by
Misses Helen and Doretha Leeper and
Miss Lillian Huckel and Mrs. Karl
| Rankin.
I The proposition of extending the
work of the Kansas prohibition or
| CARNATIONS to include the fight to
make the world dry was first advo-
ca ted and preached in Kansas at a
meeting of the officers of the Anti
! Saloon league Tuesday afternoon. AT
| this meeting resolutions were adopted
thanking God for the present victory
of the prohibition forces in the United
States and asking His aid in carrying
| the fight to a successful conclusion in
all parts Of the world.

TO STOP HEAVY FIGHT
John Rcisler Wants To Be Known as

st. Louis, Feb. 19.-That an iniunc-

pionship match unless the contractural
interests OF John r. Reisler of New

of A NJ. Frumberg, an attorney rep

Frumberg 9aid that Reisler was TAX

that New York attorneys were now
preparing the necessary law steps.
"ReiSler has contract to handle
Dempsey that extends into 1920,'' said
Frumberg. This contract has been
upheld in the appellate division of the
supreme court of the state of New
York. The case Was decided absolute

FISHER IN ANSWER
unity Attorney Says Squires Didn't
Hire Clerks With Fees.

Reasons why Ralph Squires, former
cgister of deeds of Shawnee county,
should not receive the $2,22S.97 for
which he recently brought suit against
the board of county commissioners. on
The ground that he was entitled to
Dne-h1lf the money collected by him
each quarter and turned over to the
county treasurer in excess of his SAL
AIRY and clerk hire, were set forth in
an answer filed in the district court
this morning by Hugh Fisher, county
attorney, on behalf of the commits
sioners. In the answer a part of
section 1 chapter 1913 of the Laws of
1917 is quoted as follows:
provided, that whenever the fees col
iccted by the register of deeds and turned
over to the county treasurer for any quar-
ter exceed the amount of salary and clerk
quarter such register OF deeds shall re-
ceive rs clerk hire in addition to the clerk
hire heretofore provided, an amount equal
to one-hnlf Of such excess.
Squires contend that the statement
that the register of deeds shall re-
ceive as clerk hire means that he
may collect it, but that he does not
necessarily have to expend it on clerks
and insists that the supreme court con-
Strued the law in this matter in a
recent case appealed there. Fisher,
i-owever, contends that the money
must be paid out for clerk and that
Squires never requested any additional
clerks. Furthermore, he points out,
the claim was not filed until four days
after Squires term of office expired on
January IS. and that if the court
finds In favor of the plaintiff, Squires
could not collect interest on the money
prior to the date of his demand.
Fisher also shows that the laws
under which the former official is
seeking to recover did not take effect
until March 10. 1917, and that the
s557.s0, claimed by Squires, for the
quarter ending March 81, covers a
period antedating by nearly three
months the passage of the law.

HITS Gun "TOTER"
Getty Would Make 1t Felony To
Garry Deadly Weapon.
Another Measure Protects Pc
destrlanS From Motor Cars.

Senator Getty of Kansas City, Kas.,
wants to declare war on the pistol
"toter" Also he would make it Nun-
healthy for the razor packer" and
the brass knucks boy.
A bill has been introduced by Sena-
tor Getty making it unlawful to carry
any kind of a deadly weapon and
providing that any person caught with
a gun, human carving knife, knucks
or other such instruments while in a
church gathering or any public place,
may be sent to the state penitentiary
for a period of two years and fined
one thousand dollars.
other new bills of more than local
importance that have just gone into
the hopper provide for the protection
of pedestrians while passing CARA ges
and for the levying of taxes for the
maintenance of day nurseries in cities
having more than 10000 inhabitants.
The pedestrian bill was introduced
by Senator sutton. II provides that
whenever an automobile is entering
or leaving a garage the driver must
continuously sound his horn. The
nursery bill was introduced by Thomp-
son of Reno.
A bill by Senator Montee would
make ii unnecessary to print the name
# a candidate on an election ballot
hen the candidate had no opposition.
Plans Calendar Committee.
Before the end of this week it is
expected that Lieutenant Governor
huffman will appoint a calendar COM
mittee to weed out and relegate unim-
portant measures and push forward
the important ones so that there will
ne no trouble in winding up the ses-
sion as soon as the house is ready to
uit.
Practically all of the bills that were
III third reading were disposed of
Monday Fourteen were passed, one
vas killed and one re-referred back to
1 committee. One of the most I'M
usual spectacles of the session hap
pened when Senator Montee killed one
of his own bills on the floor. 1t was
he bill providing that the sheriffs APP
point jail matrons. After much dis
'ussion and many attempts to mutilate
t. an amendment by Senator Satter-
hwaite was passed making it necessary
or the county commissioners to con-
,irm appointment. The contention
vas made that this practically put the
aw back where it is now and in order
rot to add another useless act to the
tatute book Montee moved that the
lacting clause be killed. His motion
'rried.
