Masked Robbers, Is
Shot in Left Arm

When William Lancaster, a grocer at
1901 East Nineteenth street, attempted to
escape from two masked hold-up men,
who entered his store at 8 o'clock this
morning one of the robbers shot him il
the left elbow
The robbers then made quick get
away.
Lancaster had about $500 in his pocket
and 1t is believed the robbers had krowl-
edge of the fact that he carried large
sum of money.
He had just opened his store when
the thugs entered the front door Both
had the lower part of their faces covered
with handkerchiefs
One of the robbers covered Lancaster
with a revolver before he gave the grun
command to hold up his hands.
Lancaster attempted to knock the re-
yolver from the robbers hand, running
in the direction Of the rear door. AS
he did so the hold-up man fired one
shot, which hit Lancaster in the arm
and then the intruder ran from the
store.

STIVENS CASE MAY
END COURT HABIT
Police Bench Right to Suspend
Sentence Questioned.

Action may be taken by Judge Scion
J. Carter of Superior Court. room 3,
which practically will set aside the prae-
tice of suspending sentences in the city
court.
The legal right of the city court to
suspend sentences will be argued to-
morrow morning before Judge Carter in
the case of Pat Stiyens, $3.50 Agnes street,
who Is seeking to be released from jail
on a writ of habeas corpus.
Stivens was sentenced to 1876 days on
the Indiana State farm and fined $50 on
a blind tiger charge by Jude Pro Tenn.
Frank Synmes of the city court on Nov.
II. but the court suspended the days on
condition that he did not engage in the
ILLEGAL sale of whisky. On Saturday
Judge Symmes, following the arrest Of
Stivens on another blind tiger charge,
revoked the suspended sentence and or
dered Stivens committed to the Indiana
State farm.
Sttvens previously had agreed to the
suspended sentence, but his attorney,
Dan Brown, appealed to the county
courts In an attempt to get Stivens re-
leased from tau so he would not be
compelled to serve the days. Brown at
tackled the legal right Of the city court
to suspend a sentence.
Judge Carter intimated 1t is his opin-
ion that the entire system Of suspend
ing sentences In the city court was ille-
gal. but stated that his Idea on the
nstter was subject to change and re-
vision after herring argument on the
question.
The whole system of suspended sen
fences is obnoxious to Jurisprudence,
said Judge Carter.
Attorney Brown attacked the record as
made in the city court and held that the
order committing Sttvens to the penal
farm was void on It's face. Jurge Carter
on seeing the order stated that 1t was
time to tighten up"
Judge Carter said that since the ques-
ton Of suspended sentence was so vital
to the city court he would request the
prosecutor and other attorneys. as friends
Of the court. to appear Tuesday and en-
gage In the arguments.
The court refused to release Suyens
on bail and ordered him remauded TO the
county jail pending the hearing.

William Allen White Expects
Reaction in 1922
Election.
THREE FACTORS NAMED

EMPORIA. Kan, Dec. Ga dangerous
political reaction to the present malad-
iustnlent In the matter Of agricultural
interests was forecasted In an interview
today by William Allen White. one-time
Bull Moose national committeeman for
Kansas.
White believes this reaction will take
the form Of ar 'agrarian uprising Ike
that OF the ninet'es which expressed itself
In the Fsrme . Alliance and Populist
party"
These factors, he feels, are the disturb
ing elements:
1. A steady decline in the price Of
everything the farmer has to sell.
?. Continued increase in land rent
and Interest rates.
8. Failure of unemployment in
cities to reduce farm labor wages.
Unless the farmer gets relief, White ex-
poets this political reaction win show
itself in the 1922 election.
