NEARLY COST HIS EYE
Boy Threw Rock Which Hit Engi.
neer Just Under GLASSES

A rock thrown at the eastbound
passenger train Sunday by a careless
boys playing on box car back Of
the Badger Lumber yard almost cost
Engineer Fritts the loss Of his eye.
The rock hit him on the face, just
below the edge Of his glasses and
the bruise caused by the stone was
still visible when he came through
here again. He did not file a COM
plant against the boy but he told
Marshal Engle who located the child
and took him home to his parents
with a grave warning that another
similar Offense would mean trouble
for him.
Children should be kept away
from the railroad tracks," said
Marshal Engle, land 1t is the duty
Of the parents to see that they are
kept away from them and other
places where they are liable to In
jury or to get into mischief"

NEW AMENDMENT NEEDED
Otherwise Kansas Cannot Receive
Road Aid

A new amendment to the state
constitution will be necessary If
Kansas is to receive approximately
$3,OO0,O0O annually under the new
federal aid road bill now pending in
congress. This is the statement Of
M. w. Watson, state highway engi-
neer, who has just received informa-
ton from Washington that a COM
promise between the Phippis- Dowell
and Townsend bills probably will be
passed at this session Of congress.
The present estate aid" law, en-.
acted by the 1921 legislature, pro-
vides for aid not to exceed $4,000
mile or 20 per cent Of the total
cost of the road. This is the maxi
mum that can be granted under the
good roads amendment to the state
constitution adopted last fall.

AIDED |NPLEA
FOR BERCDOLL
Former Judge Wescott Was Con-
sulting Counsel, Says Gen.
AnseII's Partner.

In spite of his denial, former
Judge John w. Westcott, of New
Jersey, friend of former President
Wilson, was consulting counsel for
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll.
This flat assertion was made yes
erday by Col. Edward 8. Bailey be-
fore the House committee investi-
eating the draft dodgers escape
Colonel Bailey Is the law partner of
Samuel 7. Ansell, former Judge ad-
vocate general OF the army, and was
associated with General Ansell in the
Bergdoll case.
BAILEY CORROBORATED ANsELL.
Colonel Bailey corroborated in de.
tail General AnselFs stat cment to the
committee Tuesday. outlining the ac-
tivities of counsel in the case. Judge
Wescott denied General Anselrs tes-
timony that he had figured in the
matter.
Il was present throughout the con-
ference in which the buried gold
story was gone over before Judge
Wescott in consideration of the plan
to get Bergdoll liberat ed long enough
to recover it," stated Colonel Bailey
II was in the office later whom
Judge Wescott returned after what
he stated was an unsuccessful effort
y see Secretary Of War Baker and
present him with a copy Of our brief
In behalf Of Bergdoll," he added mo-
ment later.
Judge Wescott then distated the
letter, in eidence, incIosing a copy
of the brief to Secretary of War
Baker.
Judge Wescott yesterday denied
fatly that he had ever heard of the
gold story until after the escape or
| that he had ever attempted to see
Secretary of War Baker in the matter.
Judge Wescott was under cover
in the case General Ansell explained,
when Congressman Ben Johnson OF
Kentucky asked why the memoran-
dunn on fees was drawn up between
Ansell and Bailey and the Philadel-
phia lawyer, ID. Clarence Gibboney.
There Is no question Of his
Judge WescotD having been in the
case" insisted General Ansell, MIR.
Gibboney himself explaining to me
Judge Wescotts denial of his at
torneyship, said that the old man
had suffered an attack of cold
feet"
In the final REORGANIZATION of
General Ansell on his responsibility
for Bergdoll's escape. Congressman
Johnson attacked the lawyer for his
undertaking the legal defense of
such a character as Bergdoll.
NOT INFLUENCED BY PUBLIC.
General Ansell leaned over the
teble at his cross examiner and laid
slowly and emphatically: Neither
ycu nor the public can dictate to
take. My partner and / have said
once before that we shall never
accept retainer because 1t is
popular TO do so nor decline one
because IL is unpopular"
At another point when Congress-
man Johnson criticised the size of the
fee, General Ansell said: Consider
ing the wealth and what the case
meant to him, the fee ought to have
