War ON LAWS
Retailers Assn Head Sees a
Druggists-Grocers Scrap.
Pharmacists Want Exclusive
Control Over All Drugs.

Wichita, kan. May s.-A Legislative
war next January between Kansas
druggists and grocers is predicted by
Dale A. Resing, secretary of the Kan
sas Retailers association
"A well defined battle ground is
taking form between the grocers5 and
! druggists of this state" Secretary Re
opening engagement can be distinctly
heard.
THE druggists have set about build
ing an organization that will force on
the statute books law prohibiting the
sale of any sort of drugs, including the
proprietaries, by merchants other than
registered pharmacists. The grocers
and department stores that handle
such goods are making no organized
effort to offset the work of the drug
gists But when the time comes 1
venture the scrap will be hot enough.
II have nothing to say as to the
merits of the case, but IL appears to
me the druggists are in rather bad
grace when demanding that grocers
refrain from handling peroxide and
other simple proprietary remedies in
original packages, when they them
selves handle scores of strictly gro
Gerry ITEMS"
The merchants will have the aid of
the manufa cturers of proprietary med
icineS, according to Secretary ReSing.
Erwin F. Kemp, general representative
OF the proprietary aSSOclaLIOns chi
cago, was in Kansas recently for a
survey of the situation.
Mr.. Kemp said hi1 organization
naturally was interested in the widest
possible distribution of the products
made by its members. Any law that
would confine the sale to stores oper-
ated by registered pharmacists of
necessity would curtail the distribu-
ton of many simple household rem
edies in original packages, Mr.. Kemp
declared.
1T is the merchant in the town too
small to support a druggist that 1 am
interested in" said Mr.. Kemp. HE
serves a very definite purpose in his
community when he carries a line of
proprietary remedies and no possible
danger can exist for the public. 1 do
not believe the legislature of Kansas
Will pass any law TO prohibit this sort
of thing. as the druggists desire"
Officials of the newly orga nized
state druggists association have de-
clared that the proposed legislation is
needed in order to safeguard the pub
lie

TO HONOR SURVEYOR PIONEERS
Arkansas City's Monument to Six VIII
at Last Be Justified

Wichita, Kan. May S.-The bodies
of five surveyors. who were killed in
the early days on the north bank of
the Cimarron river, will be returned
TO Arkansas City and inferred there,
according to Thomas Baird, pioneer OF
Arkansas City, who was in Wichita
yesterday.
According to Mr. Baird. party Of
six surveyors left Arkansas City in
March, 1875, to make a survey in
Oklahoma, possibly Major or King
fisher county. On March 20 of that
year word was received in Arkansas
City that a marauding band of kiowa
or Comanche Indians had killed all
of the party.
/ A band of twenty-five citizens made
a search of the country and discovered
the bodies of the six men on the north
bank of the Cimarron river.
Mr.. Baird is unable to recall the ex-
act location of the burial spot. but be-
lieves it in the neighborhood of Kiowa.
He says that he will pay the expense
of the return of the bodies to Arkan-
sas City, If located, as he thinks it
only proper that the six martyrs
should sleep together by the monu-
ment erected TO them.

KISSED ANTl-KLAN TALK
But Mayor OF H C.. Il, Presented
Argument just the Same.

Kansas City, Kan, May S.-Mayor
Harry B. Burton was not at all per-
turbed today over the fact that he had
been Missed repeatedly when he de-
bated before a crowd of nearly 1900
persons yesterday against the Ku
KluX Khan The spokesman for the
Khan was DIR. Harry Graham of Bos-
ton. international Ku Klux organizer.
Mayor Burton said he realized the
audience was largely in. sympathy
with the Khan and let it. be known
that the demonstration against him
would not alter his stand against the
organization.
DR.. Graham, who spoke first, did
not wear the Khan regaha and was
not masked. He defended the khan as
offering a panacea for the political
debauchery and moral degeneracy
with which America is infected" The
khan he said, stood for social purity
and white supremacy.
Mayor Burton charged that the
Khan was un-American, cowardly and
oppressive. TT has directed it's ac-
tiYIties against the Roman Catholic,
the Jew, the alien and the negro" he
said.
Il maintain that the khan, organ
lied and founded on prejudice, can
not survive" he added.
Except for the kissing which inter
rupted Mayor Buttons remarks. there
was no disorder at the meeting.

HIS GREATEST THRILL, BUFFALO
G.. A. Gordon. 1O2 Years old, Says He
Was Frightened I'm 1916.

Eureka. Kan. May S-George A
Gordon, 1O2, says the greatest adven-
ture in his life was a trip during
which a stampeding herd of buffalo
charged a tree in which he had taken
refuge.
Alone" said Mr.. Gordon in telling
the story, far from civilization, dis
mounted. in a hostile Indian country,
with my last bullet in my rifle. 1 was
in position in which a drawer man
than 1 might have despaired. The
center OF the immense herd struck my
clump of trees and the animals were
heaped up by the pressure of the
stampede until those, on top of the
struggling pile were higher than the
fork of the tree in which I crouched.
1t appeared that in few minutes
that pile would engulf me. In any
case, it seemed certain that the horse
that I had left near the tree would be
destroyed.
1T happened in 1876. when I was
rs years old. In those days adventure
ran in the blood of man, young and
old. had been a resident of New
ton, Ill, but had joined a party which
had no particular purpose except ad-
venture in the wilderness beyond the
Missouri river. and had set out acress
the plains and down to the Red river
country of Texas. OF my compan-
ions two were grizzIed French Cana
dian hunters and trappers from the
northwest; two were natives of Ar
kansas
When the buffalo had come within
about 100 feet, those in front for
width of about forty or fifty feet saw
my horse and attempted to halt, but
in the twinkle of an eye they were
overwhelmed by the pressure from
behind.
81 could now enjoy a spectacle
which fancied neither white man nor
Indian had ever before seen. The
front rank, as they passed, was as
straight as a regiment of soldiers on
dress parade. The regularity of their
movement was as admirable as tho
they had been trained to keep step"

their fellow blacks, are without found

nor anticipated by authorities. Negroes
are going about their work usual,
possibly directing a little extra energy
