Wichita. Kan. Nov. 1s.-Names of
twenty-six well known professional
and business men of Wichita were
among the booze customers of Warren

several Wichita lawyers, grain men,
oil operators, an Oil refinery official, a
physician, a motor car dealer, a
grocer and two bond and stock
brokers.
WiImering, his wife and A. A. Mails
were taken bv police in a series Of
raids A quantity Of booze was also
taken in the raids.
In addition to the names, the note
book gives the number of bottles (pre-
sumably quarts), the prices and the
dates OF sale.
The police have turned the book
over to Robert L. Foulston, city at
torney. Mr. Foulston said the data
would be used in procuring evidence

COFFER-MILLER PLAYERS

The Coffer-Mi1l players scored a
distinct hit Friday in their presenta-
ton of 1.-The Tanning of the Shrew"
and 1.-The Rivals" at the Topeka high
school auditorium. The audience at
both plays followed every line and
shrieked joyful approval. The charac-
ters all stepped easily into their parts
land gave natural and, enjoyable per-
Iformances.
Special credit should be given to
Jess Golfer, who gave three radically
different impersonations during the
two plays, those of the swash-buck-
ling, woman-taming Petruchio in THE
Tanning of the Shrew," the vain, cow
ardly Bob Acres. and the irascible old
Sit, Anthony of ''The Rivals" 1t was
hardly believable that the same man
played all three parts.
Miss Martha Miller was delightful
Katherine and a capable Mrs. NAL
aprop. Her deep courtesies in the lat
ter role, were a marvel to all the gals
in the audience who had ever tried to
make them.
The stage setting was simple, but
more effective than a more ella borate
one would have been Grey curtained
walls, and at the most, two chairs and
a. table was all. but it was enough
The costuming was exquisite in both
plays.
The action was shortened and the
lines were changed at times in both
plays but they remained essentially
the same
