tomorrow, District Judge Biddison an
nounced today.
The jurors tentatively passed were
instructed by Judge Biddison to keep
their minds open on all questions per-
tanning to the riots.
Judge Biddison said he hoped to
have the work Of selecting the grand
jury completed tomorrow and proceed
with his instructions.
The delay today gave Attorney
General Freezing an opportunity 10
hear further evidence and prepare
subpoenas for witnesses to be called
before the grand jury.
The prospective jurors were ques-
toned particularly as to whether they
would return accusations against local
officials in case neglect Of duty on
their part was found. They also were
asked whether they would return
murder indictments against persons
who participated in the rioting regard
less Of whether they specifically COM
mitted the crime.
One man questioned by Attorney
General Freezing said he would not
convict man of murder unless II
was proved he committed the act di'
rectly, but upon further questioning
he said he would be willing to vote
an Indictment He was tentatively
accepted.
IF it is shown that officers could
have saved life and property by dis
armng the mob and they failed TO do
so and the court instructs you that
they should be removed from office
for such failure would you recommend
their removal?" was one of the ques'
tions asked by Attorney General Free
ling. The prospective jurors answer
ed in the affirmative without excep'
ton.
Another significant query put to
the jury was as follows:
"If ii is shown that three or more
armed men formed a mob, and as a
result persons were killed and the
court should instruct you that the
men forming the mob were guilty OF
! murder under the law regardless OF
whether or not they shot anybody
would you 20 find?"

Reports Exaggerated

Lained, Kansas. June S.-Indications
here are that the reports of ravages
of the Arkansas river in western Kan
sas have been somewhat exaggerated.
The water has risen four and one-half
feet here and is practically at a stand
still. There is a chance of a second
rise, however. The river is out Of its
banks in some places but damage thus
far is slight The stock loss in this
territory has been practically nil. The
sight of dead stock floating in the
river. however, is common.

Some doubling Thomases might raise
the objection that this sort of an abode
might be all right for Summer, but that
for Winter and the rigors of a season Of
storm and cold the idea would not be
practical. That, OF course, depends on the
way the automobungalow is built
II 1t Is cheaply put together OF light ma
tefals like some Summer bungalows used
solely for warm weather camping, 1t nat
urally would not afford sufficient protec.
ton for Winter occupancy. But the ma
jority of people who are availing them
selves Of this opportunity Of evading rent
paying are making their automobungalows
"all year" houses. Otherwise they would
not be accomplishing their purpose OF cut
ting out the rent bills.
They are building their automobunga'
lows carefully of strong materials so that
they are as mpervious to the cold as any
frame dwelling They then have prac-
tical home which provides all the neces
sary comforts. In fact the owner of one
OF these abodes is far better of than many
who have had 10 resort 10 their Summer

Meanwhile you are in a house that is

to find fault with, no janitor, hallooys, ele-
vator boys or any of the other encum-
brances of apartment house life This In
cludes no rent and no tips.
The automobungalow appeals to great
many people as being preferable to the
houseboat. or course, II one Is not par
ticularly fond Of the water the automo.

he does prefer the shore to the country
the automobungalow would please him, be-
cause he could run 1t down to the shore
and enjoy his favorite environment. on
houseboat you are more or less connneo,
although a great many people enjoy It's
thorough isolation.
But the automobungalow, like the house

The fittings and arrangement Of some
r. OF these automobungalows leaves nothing
to be desired for comfort. Carefully buiit
they are sufficient for protection against
the btterest Winter storm and, of course,
are fully ventilated for the warm Summer.
They have their own lighting system, heat

room for dancing within the VictTola can
be turned on and a merry fox trot INDUCED

Thus have ingenious minds devised
way Of actually and practically cutting
down the cost of living Hundreds OF these

built, throwing that many apartments and

supply OF living quarters.
