BEZDEK AS FOOTBALL COACH
Turned Out One of Greatest Teams at
Penn State-ExceIs on Diamond
and at Basketball.

Hugo Bezdek, former manager of the
Pirates, has turned out one OF the
greatest football teams of the year at
Penn State. There are no better
coaches than the squat Bohemian, and
he has proved it on the gridirOn, dia-
mOnd and in the basketball cage.
When Barney Dreyfuss tied the tin

of 1917 he called BeZdek into action.

CANNOT JAIL HIM
Judge Lindsey VIII Never Serve
Sentence, Say Friends.
Every Official Connected With
Case Sidesteps the Job.

Denver, Colo. Feb. 3.-Judge Ben
B. Lindsey, under sentence for con-
tempt of court, will never go to Jail,
his friends here declared today.
No official Of Denver would care to
actually take the responsibility of
sending the judge to Jail, they de-
clared, because of the public sentiment
favoring him.

The judges sentence to serve one
year in Jail and pay a fine ofS $500
came as a result of the nvestigation
in the murder of John Wright, in
June, 1916.
Wright came home drunk and beat
his wife. He left, saying he would re-
turn and clean up the place." He
returned the next day and attempted
to batter down the front door. A shot
rang out in the half and Wright fell

court.
The son told the whole story to
Judge Lindsey, who refused to tell
what the boy said. The case against
the boy is still pending.
Judge Lindsey and the boy know
who killed John Wright. Neither will

Consideration of Roads Given
Right-Of-Way.
PLAN HARD SURFACE ROADS
License Money May Be Used in
Home County.
Industrial Court Divorce Row
Scheduled For Today.

House members are favorable to a
law which will permit use of motor
license funds for good road building
so long as the money doesn't leave
home. After spending practically a
half day on the bill reported by the
roads and highway committee, the
house committee of the whole gave
approval TO the plan to build hard
surface roads with home funds. But
the western Kansas members have
made clear they don't propose to send
any of their revenue to eastern coun-
ties.
Roads Bill Given First Place.
Consideration of the road bill was
given right-of-way over the indus
trial court divorce bill. No man is
wise enough to foretell the time which
will be spent in consideration of any
measure before the house. And when
the grounding was blinking at the
sinking sun, the house flow of oratory
was just coming under full control.
The members had groWled and quar-
relied and quibbled as to their rights
and privileges under the bill and fin
ally voted to recommend the measure
for passage.
The new bill from the highway
committee provides for use of AID mo-
tor license funds in counties in which
the money originates. Members, tho,
were split and divided as to the ap-
There was also a division as to the
right of outside supervision and regu-
1ation over hard surface roads
which may be built under the plan
by order of the county boards.
Survey Reapportionment Bill.
With but little time remaining in
which to consider the divorce bill,
the house made short survey of the
senatorial reapportionment bill and
gave approval This does not mean,
tho, that the bill will go thru the
senate. In fact it is due to meet
trouble in the upper house.
Consideration of the reapportion-
ment bill gave opportunity for several
bits of side fireworks and pushed the
Industrial court bill ahead for today 5
business. That was in reality the plan
of house managers when they reached
the closing hours of the days session
with the divorce bill ready for debate.
The bill which passed the house breaks
up the Chautauqua-Elk district, throw
ing Cowley and Chautauqua together
and placing Elk with Greenwood and
Lyon. The counties of Marshall and
Washington are consolidated for sena-
torial purposes and Reno is given
separate district. This throws Barber
and Harper with Kingman and Pratt.
Ness, Rush, Pawnee, Hodgeman and
Edwards are made a new senatorial
district as are the counties OF Cove,
Graham, Rocks, Ellis and Trego. In
the eastern counties Coffey would be
linked with Linn and Anderson and
Franklin would be joined with Usage.
Committee Is Named.
At the close of the session Speaker
Harvey named the following commit
tee to draft a congressional reappor-
tionment bill: Mosher of Ford, CHAIR
man; Rhodes of Anderson, vice CHAIR
man; Cloud of Kingman, Farrell oil
CLAY, Geddes of Butler, Jones of Lyon
Noble of Labette, Troup of Phillips
and Underwood of Atchison.

COMPENSATION BILL MIxUP
Lack of Agreement Means Three
Measures Instead of One.

Workmen's compensation forces are
in a big row among themselves. 1t is
probable that three bills will come be-
fore the legislature at this session be-
cause of failure of the labor factions
and the state administration to reach
an agreement.
When the bill now in the house and
senate hoppers was considered, repre-
sentatives of the State Federation of
Labor stayed at home. President
Freeman declined to sit with the COM
mittee. Now the radical crowd in the
labor organization has given notice
that it will draft bill. This measure
is expected to meet approval of the
Alexander Howat crowd. On the
other hand a bit less radical element
wants an entirely different bill. And
the conservatives want the bill now
under consideration.
Neither of the bills proposed by the
radicals have appeared. 1t Is reported
tho, that they will be sent to Topeka
soon and will be introduced at an
early date.
