GOOD RECORDS WIN
SUSPENDED TERMS
FOR THREE YOUTHS
Confessed Assailants of
John Alderman Put on
Probation.

With a warning that one step
from the straight and narrow path
would mean their going to the peni-
tentlary' Justice Gould in Criminal
Court yesterday suspended a SEN
tence OF two years and a half each
on Clarence P. Sewers, william
Cush' jr, and William Ernst, the
three youths who attempted to hold
up John Ackerman, aged keeper OF
4 gasoline station at 115 Florida
avenue northeast. on October IL last.
All OF the accused pleaded guilty
to a joint charge of assault to rob
and their case was referred to the
probation officer on January 25. Pro-
baton Officer Amos Steele reported
that all had very good records ex-
cept Sewers, who appeared to have
oeen the ringleader in the attempt
ed robbery.
After the attempt. and while the
boys were running away from a show
of resistance made by Ackermau,
Ernst received a gunshot wound and
the trio retreated TO the Smithsonian
grounds. Later Cush and Sewers
took their wounded companion to
the hospital and explained his in
iuries by stating that they had been
held up. An investigation by De-
tecttVe Patrick O'Brien showed the
boys were the same ones mentioned
Ry Ackerman in his report of the
holdup.
Justice Gould severely Iectured
the boys and then turned them over
to the probation officer with instruc-
tions to them to report regularly.
Roland A Fieds. colored, who was
raroled some time ago from the Ju-
venile Court on a charge of house
breaking. was sentenced to serve
one year and nine months in the
penitentiary on his plea Of guilty to
breaking into the store Of David Du-
bin on December last and stealing
quantity of clothing.

Hard to Spell His Name
Dane Wants it Changed

Jens P. NJ. Hjorth. of Danish an
cestry, asked the District Supreme
Court yesterday to allow him to
spell his name differently.
People have very little trouble in
pronouncing his name, Hjorth says.
but the trouble comes when they try
to spell it. He asks that it be
changed to "Yort"-the way it
sounds in Danish. He lives at 1912

Great Blenders Here

Hays has had its first joint meeting
with Great Bend that may mean much
in the future; not only among the
older folks but the children and
young men and women of both cities.
The State Athletic parties put Great
Bend High School among the contest
ants this year at Hays, and the young
men came over last week and at the
tournament won lots of friends for
their gentlemanly playing and took
home the loving cup as their trophy.
This season in their games in their
own section they have won the cham
pionship of the Western Athletic
League and hold three eups-one pre-
sented by Gov. Allen, and now take
home the Golden Belt Cup for north
western Kansas. They have to defend
it for three years to own it, so will
come back next year.
In an interview with one of their
party at the office of the Golden Belt
Railroad on East Normal Avenue,
last week, they were congratulated
by Superintendent Freese, shown the
maps and papers of the proposed new
= road to run from their city up to
Hays and into Nebraska, and went
home rejoicing.
The first through trains between
Great Bend and Hays will be an ex-
cursion train of not less than fifteen
cars. One day the business men and
people OF Great Bend, Barton and
Rush counties would be brought to
Hays to get acquainted and see their
State Institutions, as they are fellow
s.ate taxpayers and are helping to
r>y cur appropriations. The next day
Ire train would bring every child
from six to twenty-one years of age
in that neighborhood, to Hays TO see
their future State Normal School and
Ire Coliseum, that extends the glad
hand to all of Western Kansas. The
roxt day the Hays and Ellis county
ch li-en of school age would be taken

them their city and schools and
the following day the men and
women of Ellis and Rush coun-
tes WI be given a free ex-
cursion to Great Bend to see
thst petty city where. they are prom
ised a hearty reception. The pro-
rsosors promised Mr.. Freese, if he
helped put this road over he should
have the free use Of the engines and
cars of the company for these excur-
s;ons before the road is thrown open
to general travel. The trains viii

professionally the more important
towns and cities, and offers to all who
call on this trip consultation and ex-
animation free, except the expense
of treatment when desired.
According to his method of coming
to your nearest city to see patients
he gives all the sick people an oppor-
tunity to obtain the best that medical
science can offer right at home. He
does not operate for chronic appendi-
citis, gall stones, ulcers of stomach,
tonsils or adenoids.
He has to his credit many wonder

liver, bowels, blood, skin, nerves;
heart, kidney, bladder, bed wetting,
catarrh leg ulcers and rectal ailments.
If you have been ailing for any
length of time and do not get any
better, do not fail to call, as improper
measures rather than disease are very
often the cause of your long standing

/, The Interstate Commerce Commission

Z The Interstate Commerce Commission
Among the first nominations sent
to the U. S. Senate by the new Pres
ident last week, was John J. Esch, of
Wisconsin, and Mark W. Potter, of
New York, as members of the Inter
state Commission for a term of five
years. Both were promptly confirm
ed and begin their term April 1st.
Mr.. Potter is noted lawyer of
New York, noted for. his work on this
line, now seventy years of age, was
appointed some time ago by Pres
ident Wilson and now reappointed.
Mr.. Esch is the late Congressman
from Wisconsin, and with Senator
Cummings of Iowa, is author of the
noted Interstate Commerce Commits
sion law which has to do with all rail
road and shipping and other com
mercial work in the United States.
There are eleven of them appointed
by the President for five years at
$4,000 a year.
This is the Commission that has in
hand the matters of granting the per
mission to build to the Golden, Belt
Railroad of this section; have had it
under their control since December
18th last. They wrote Congressman
White and Senator Curtis they would
give the application very careful con-
sideration. It has now gone through
the Business Department and the At
torney writes this week that it is now
in the Finance Department to exam
inc the statement what it will cost to
build and equip the proposed road
and how it is proposed to pay for it.
The promoters are feeling jubilant,
the financial part being their least
fear. 1t was opposition to its build
ing at all that worried them the past
month. There must surely be some-
thing in the whole matter that is as
surfing, for such a Court to give the
matter their careful consideration. If,
like some Hays people think, it would
have been rejected the first week
after being filed, it wouldn't have
reached first base, let alone getting to
third this week.
If the promoters have their say,
and the Directors will approve, the
Golden Belt proposed new road will
use iron fence posts along the route,
the same kind now being used by the
Government in their parks and the
boundary line between Mexico and
the United States. They may cost
more to start, but fires along the road
don't burn them out, and they are
driven in instead of digging and fill
ing, making a more solid fence. Mr..
Cochran and others around Hays and
in Barton county are using them ex-
tensively. They are guaranteed to
last 25 years The fence man of the
company was here last Saturday and
since sending in their prices in the
first QUESTIONABLE to the Interstate,
the price of iron has fallen and there
will now be for the "a miles, a saw
ing of over ten thousand dollars. The
price of their ties and bridge lumber
has also taken big tumble in prices
quoted to the Interstate. While on
the other hand the price of town lots
and terminals have taken a rise with
the prospects of improvements to
come.
