The hard Hitting Kansans Defeated
by the Locals in the Opening
Game of the Season

The baseball season was opened
Sunday afternoon with a win over the
Pleasanton, Kansas team, by score
of to 2.
The locals were dressed in new un-
iforms. A new, commodious, COM
Portable grandstand had been built
and the grounds improved generally.
Dut the team with one or two excep-
tions were the same boys who have
been playing such good ball for But
lerfor the past two years. Bobby
Luscombe is just as good as ever be-
hind the bat. Ebeck, the pitcher, is
new to the local fans but he estab-
lished a reputation Sunday. He pos
sesses fine assortment of curves and
a good change of pace and has good
control. besides being bad man with
the stick. His two 3-baggers having
much to do with winning the game.
Ellis, the old veteran, is on first and
the way he cavorted Sunday would
lead one to suppose that he had found
the fountain of youth. Shroyer, a
new man from Kansas, was on second
and he is one OF the classiest infield-
crs that has been seen here for long
time. He handled nine chances fault
lessly and his home run III the sixth
was responsible for three OF the six
runs made by the home team. Os-
borne is at short and seems better
than ever. Campbell was at third,

REFERENDUM HITS A sNAa
Becker Refuses to File Petitions on
Local Court Bills

Jefferson City, Jnne 1I.-Charles
u. Becker, secretary of state, an
nounced. late today he would refuse
to file the referendum petitions cir
culated by the Democratic Estate
committee to hold Up the bills abol-
ishing the Justices Of the peace and
constables Of Kansas City.
Becker's action today followed an
opinion BY Jesse arret attorney gen.
cral. He held that the secretary of
state could not act for filing the pe-
tition on the Kansas City court=aihs:
The bills abolishing the J. Ps. and
constables carry Z peace, health and
salty" clause, which, under the con-
stitution, makes them immune from
the referendum. The same is true
also Of the bills establishing the new
Kansas City municipal court of five
judges and one constable to super
sede the present eight justice courts.
The attorney general held, in his
opinion, that Becker must accept for
filing the referendum petitions on all
bills which do not carry the peace
health and salty" clause. The sec
retary Of state, being a ministerial
officer, he cannot use his discretion
against other bills Barrett decided.
Mr.. Becker must assume that the
legislature was presumptiveiy right
when it declared the Kansas City
justice of peace bills were to main
TAIN the peace; health and safety" ~
Mr.. Barrett said. Although there
is some question whether the legisla-
ture might decide what laws are to
preserve the peace. health and safe
ty,. the later decisions appear to up
hold tht right of the legislature in
its discretion so to declare"
The only course remaining for the
Democrats is to go into the supreme
court and ask writ to compel Beck
er to file the referendum petitions
on the Kansas City court bills.
The referendum petitions will be
filed next Saturday, Mr.. Becker said
today.
The Democratic organization is
sticking to hold up for vote in No
yember, 1922, thirteen bills of the
Hyde legislative program, including
several of the consolidation bills.
The physicians are attempting to in
woke the referendum on medical ed
ucation bills; also petitions are being
circulated against the county unit bill
and the workman's compensation
bill.

SEE AN OLD GUARD VICTORY
Missouri G. o. p. Organization is

Jefferson City, June lathe Re-
publican state organization aligned
with Governor Hyde, now in control
Of the state committee, has practical
" abandoned the fight to obtain a
share of the federal patronage under
the Harding administration.
Information received here from,
Washington recently is that the Bah

be given the preference in the distri-
button of federal "plums." The same
Influences that put over c. c. Madi-
son for district attorney at Kansas
City. it is understood, have the right
of way in Washington.
DR.. +. B. Clements, Republican
state chairman, is quoted as saying he
holds out little hope for substantial
recognition Of the state organization,
which put Missouri in the Republican
ranks last year.
After the election last November
and the repeated reputation of the
Babler Morse clique, it was believed
the state committee or "state crowd"
would be given the preference in fed
eral patronage. Later it was report
ed that "fifty-fifty" division would
be made between the "old guard" atd
the new organization. But now, it
is almost generally believed here, the

Kansas City Policeman Kills Bandit

Tuesday morning as George Beck
with. a Kansas City policeman, not
OH duty was standing at the corner
of independence and Maple boulevard
waiting for street car small boy
ran up to HIM and said that he had
seen three men abandon Cadillac
touring ear near by and beard street
car going down town. Beckwith conf
mandeered delivery truck and fol-
lowed the street car. Two OF the men
got off at 18th and Walnut street and
when Beckwith attempted to question
them about the Cadillac car they had
abandoned klley attacked him. He
was later identified as Joseph Glenn
suspected of being a holdup man. The
other man ran but was soon captured
by Beckwith and turned out to be
Howard Langdon, who had been con-
,ictcd burglary at Scdala and last
week escaped from the Jail at that
place before he could be taken to the
penitentiary.
Rcckwith, the policeman, who
though off duty, took up the chase.
is a veteran policeman and wears
medal for bravery awarded about d
year ago when he chased a band of
hoidups and caused their capture al
though he was badly wounded at the
time. When the republican police
commissioners took charge some time
ago they demanded his resignation
which he refused to submit saying
that his record was clear and good
and that they would have to prefer
charges. So far they have been un-
able to do this.
The crime wave in the city con-
tinues unabated and several holdups !.
are being reported daily, many OF.
them taking place in broad daylight
the police seem to be helpless,
although Chief Edwafds in a speech
before the International police Asso-'
citation at St. Louis last week Dragged
that he had "Modernized, Motorized
and Christianized" the Kansas City
police department and "fired" 2S6x
vetern policemen and replaced them
with new men. However, he did not
say in his speech that some Of the
men appointed had police records.
That several had been charged with
stealing since their appointment. The
Others had been caught in immoral
houses when they were raided by the
vice squad. That one stands accused
of the murder of an innocent boy
That a drunken negro who had .
special officers commission had shot
and killed man on the streets OF
Kansas City without the slightest pro-
vocation.
