Frank Metzgar, Gas Station Man
ager, Receives Broken Arm as
Result of Accommodation.

Service. accommodation and polite
ness are responsible for a broken arm
to Frank Metzgar, manager of the
White Eagle gas and oil station on
West Tenth avenue between Harrison
and Topeka
Metzgar has achieved an enviabIe
reputation among motorists due TO his
efforts to be courteous and accom-
modating.
He is suffering the consequences
today.
The other day a Ford owner drove
up to the station for gas. After the
process the driver seemed to have diff
ficulty in crowding into his jeans for
the cash Again he struggled to let
the change slip into his pocket
Metzgar noticed also that It was
with no little difficulty his patron was
beginning to squeeze thru the Ford
door apparently to crank his motor.
iii spin it for you" the station
manager volunteered.
"Oh, thanks, thanks" came the re-
ply from the front seat.
A quick turn and Metzgar was
thrown from in front of the Ford to a
point several feet away. He landed
against one of the gas pumps. He is
carrying his arm in - cast

son Mrs. Lena Bretagno, of Brooklyn
N. Y, stays in Topeka and will never
quit fighting for the release of her
husband who stole motor car that
she might be taken to a doctor in a
western Kansas town.
Poverty has come to the Bretagno
home in Brooklyn since Lena Bre-
tagno took over the task of caring for
the four little tots and making way
for family of five in this world.
Handicapped thru an inability to
speak English the woman has strug-
gled and fought her way for existence
for two years. She pawned the few
family possessions including her watch
and a ring in order to raise $500 for
a lawyer who promised to secure a
parole for her husband. The state
made the lawyer return $3.50 of the
amount. Now Lena Bretagno is fight
ing the battle alone-with a fair
chance for success.

Commissioners Fail TO Produce Wit
nesses Against Police Head.
Arkansas City, Nov. 6.-Police Chief
Chester S. Daley won the first ROUND
in the charges brought against him by
two of the city commissioners today
toward his removal. Commissioners
Thompson and Sturtz charged that
DALEY was sympathetic with the str1k-
ing shopmen and had neglected his
duties otherwise. But when the near
ing came at 10 o'clock today, they
failed to produce witnesses to TESTIFY
against the chief and his attorney re-
fused to let the chief become a wit
ness unless his accusers faced him
and swore to definite, certain and spe-
cific charges
p, The commissioners attempted to put
him on the witness stand, but Attor-
ney Rogers of Wichita held that the
BODY was acting in the same capacity
as a district court, and could not make
the defendant convict himself, without
first hearing definite charges from
witnesses. The commission adjourned
to o'clock.
Commissioners SturtZ and Thoinp-
son said they would have the witnesses
subpoenaed for hearing next Mon
day at 10 O'Clock. More than 500 PEG
pie of the laboring class were present
and frequently applauded the state
ments made in favor of Daley, while
the mayor received an ovation when
he entered the city hall.

Several days ago The-State Journal
carried a story TO the effect that Doc

Democrat program of cutting down
state aid for the various institutions.
The text of the story was supplied
from state house sources and the story

there was a bright future ahead. The
family had saved a little money in
the east and Bretagno bought a motor
car.
Out in western Kansas the Bretagno
car broke down. Lena Bretagno, the
wife and mother was sick. Unable to
speak English members of the family
were unable to hail passing motorists
and secure aid. Finally passing car
was stopped. Brstagno and a COM
panion took the driver from the ma
chine, tied him to a post and took Mrs.
Bretagno to a doctor in Syracuse. The
men were arrested and are serving
prison sentences at Lansing
Thru an Interpreter Mrs. Bretagno
has twice told her story to Judge c.
w. Smith. executive clerk in the office
of Governor Allen. The woman was
told by friends in Brooklyn that her
western trip for clemency would be in
vain. Lena Bretagno shrugged her
shoulders. "I will find a way" she
said. So, fighting poverty with a de-
termination as strong as the courage
of lion, Lena Bretagno doesn't in
tend to leave Topeka until her hus-
band leaves the state prison.
