PROF. TAKASHASI MAY BE
BROUGHT BACK TO LIBERAL

Prof. S. Takashasi of Denver,
Colo, the worlds champion Jiu-Jitsu
wrestler, who with Sgt. S. A. Vane-
man furnished the. best sport contest
ever held in Liberal, last Saturday
night, may be called upon in the near
future to return here for a Jiu-Jitsu
wrestling match with we'll known
heavyweight wrestler from the east.
1t is reported that local business
men have negotiated with some
heavyweight wrestler in Iowa in an
attempt to get him to come to Lib
eral and meet the Japanese expert in
Jiu-Jitsu wrestling, wherein the win
ner will receive a handsome purse
to be arranged by the contestants.
We are also assured that the
wrestling match this Saturday night
between Sgt. Vaneman our local
wrestler and Joe Speagle of Omaha,
Neb., will be another great event and
real contest.
Vaneman has never seen Speagle,
who weighs 202 pounds and claims
the heavyweight championship of the
state of Nebraska, but we are sure
he will go on the mat with the same
old smile and do his best to defeat
the Nebraskan.
This athletic show is under the
auspices of the Liberal Post of the
American Legion and will be at the
same place, Armory Hall and those
who fail to see it will be as many

LITTLE SCHEME TO GET
MONEY FAILED TO WORK
Watch for tn Man Who Trys It-He
May Get You

A neat little scheme to invegle a
man out of $500 was attempted in
the Pullman Cafe this morning when
man paid for his breakfast. He
emptied his purse nthe counter,
displaying silver, pennies and a five
dollar bill. The mans breakfast was
few cents, and while he fingered the
amount, he waited for the walters
attention to be taken from the nancy
for an instant, and at the same in
slant, the man turned around as If
leaving the counter and at the same
time pocketed his own five dollar bill.
Then, when the waiter looked up he
accused him of taking the money
The man was insistent. 1t would look
to one just entering the scene like
one had tried to steal from the old
man. But the waiter being an hon
est fellow, and innocent would not be
worked so easily and refused to talk
to the man. "Prehaps you dropped
the money" the waiter said, ~ know
haven't it," But it was here a NOM
ent ago." the man insisted. Tn
waiter added: "That's a pretty slick
game, but it don't work here" and
walked away,
Two people sitting at table near
by witnessed the whole performance
and saw the old man put the bill in
his pocket. But it worked it pretty
well even at that.

SAYS BONUS IS
POLITICAL ACT
Col. Keech Tells House Commit
tee Ex-Service Men Do Not
Need Monetary Relief.
FORDNEY is INSULTED
Chairman of Committee Says He
! Wouldn't Spend Public Money
to Get Elected.

Washington, Mar. 12.-Members of
congress will support soldier bonus
legislation in order ''to get votes"
Frank p. Keech of New York, for
mer lieutenant colonel in the inspec-
tor generals department declared to-
day before the house ways and means
committee which is holding hearings
on relief legislation.
Il consider that an insult to members
of congress-, declared Chairman Ford
ney.
II didn't mean it as an insult, but
it is true, Keech replied.
Members of congress are influenced
by the will of the people and rightly
So, Representative Garner, democrat,
Texas, commented.
'I consider it an insult for any per-
son to say that I would spend two
billion dollars of the public's money
to be elected to congress-, Chairman
Fordney replied.
Representative Rainey, democrat of
Illinois told Keech he did not con-
slider his remark an insult and that
he would appeal to the committee to
overrule Chairman Fordneys effort to
suppress freedom of speech among
witnesses.
What was your salary before and
after the ware" asked Representative
Frear, republican of Wisconsin, after
the wrangle had subsided.
II don't wish to give that, Keech
said.
You are a broker and you speak
from the Wall-st viewpoint?" said Mr..
Frear. DO you know of the boys on
the farm who lost everything as Well
as the people who lived in New York :?
From conditions in New York
would say that bonus is not deserved
or neededs by the average discharged
soldier, Keech replied.
The witness added that he was con-
cerned over the predicted decrease in
bond values. He objected to the sug-
gestion of Representative Rainey to
place q tax on the $4,000 men who be-
came millionaires during the war.
Initiative ceases when taxes become
high and such an additional tax would
be harmful, said he.
