Iiuurumte Offtcm. himself to do his utmoat to give an bonwt administration nnd to to all, Lon McCarty took office Monday Judge Officers Active Armliut Emporia, generally considered a dry town, is not bone-dry, and records of police officers show that the guardians of the law have been of the district court in Lyon, Chase active against persona who violate and CoKey counties, succeeding Judge I. T. Richardson. No formal ceremony was heldi but Judge McCarty made a short statement and pledge to the few friends who bad gathered there.

A large basket ot flowers, a gift from the Lyon County State bank, adorned the of the new judge. Among those who gathered In the judge's chamber were: W. M. Price, chairman of the county Democratic central committee; Lloyd (Bud) Price; Mr. and Mrs.

Tom Godsey; W. T. Crawford; Miss May Larson, new court reporter; Sheriff Tom Owens: trndersheriff Charles Gibson', Deputy Dallas Morris. Mrs. McCarty sat beside the new Judge a.x he talked to his friends.

"I am grateful for the privilege of service to this district and I realize and I believe I have, as a practicing lawyer at this bar. realized that It Is a position beset with trouble, anxieties and tribulations," Judge McCarty said. "I want to express my gratitude to my many friends and supporters for giving me this chlnce to serve, it is my hope and my earnest desire that I may be able to so conduct this office that equity and right may ever be present. That no well founded criticism or complaint may ever be made and so that every person in this district may have courage and be able to carry on with the confidence that, happen whatever will be accorded justice. "I could not close without some word of appreciation of the service rendered this district by Judge Richardson.

My office has been close to the courthouse nnd it has been iny privilege to realize nnd know of a good many of the unhappy and unpleasant things that come to the office of the judge. While I have lost some of my cases and have differed with Judge Richardson as to some pf the law, I have always found him honest, courageous and the dry laws. A total of 221 liquor convictions were recorded in 1827 and 1928, An increase In the severity of tho penalties as well ns a slight increase In the number of convictions was shown in 192B, although the number of cases was not many more than in 1927. In the two years there were 221 liquor law convictions in the district, two justice of the peace and police courts. The greater number was in the justice of the peace courts, where county officers tnke their cases first.

the 221 convictions, 59 were for the ijossession, sale or transportation of liquor, most of the convictions being for possession. The total for drunkenness was 128; for the manufacture ot liquor, for driving while drunk, 15, and the confiscation of liquor cars, 16. Only 83 of the convictions were in police court and of the 81, there were S6 for drunkenness and 17 for possession or sale of liquor. City police often turn their cases over to the county officers for trial in the higher courts and that helps make the number of cases in the justice and district courts greater, than in police court. County officers also can make in Emporia as well as in all other parts of Lyon county, but city police must confine their efforts to within the city limits.

One of the noticeable court happenings in the past year was tho severe penalties given by E. Evans, justic of the peace, when motorists -were convicted of driving while drunk. Several men were, sentenced to serve six months in jail. Sentences for other liauor violations ranged from small or a. few days' imprisonment for being drunk to 14 months in jail or a year in the penitentiary for more serious offenses or where the victims were convicted of more than Charles E.

Persistent the penitentiary Crossing Accident Lebo's man-killing grade claimed their seventh human life within four today when William N. Thomas, 72, a farmer who lived four miles northwest of Lebo, was fatally injured at 11 o'clock this morning when his Ford coupe wsvs struck by Banta Fe No. 19, the westbound Chief, at a road crossing east of the depot in Lebo. Thomas died 30 minutes after the accident without regaining consciousness.

Thomas was alone in the car nnd was driving north when the accident occured. All indications lead to the belief that he failed to see the train until it was top late and that Ite drove his car into the side of the speeding engine. An iron step, below the fireman's cnb, was torn from the locomotive when the train arrived in Emporia at 12:05 o'clock Santo Fe officials say that westbound trains can be seen for a half mile at this crossing. The car was completely demolished by the impact of the crash. Thomas suffered a fractured skull, a broken arm, and many other undetermined injuries.

He was carried to-a baggage truck on the station platform where he received medical treatment. He died wliile the train waited to bring him to an Emporia hospital. Mr. Thomas had narrowly escaped death seven years ago in a similar accident near Lebo. Mr.

Thomas was born In Wales, and came to America when he was a young man. He had lived in the vicinity of Lebo for more than 50 years. In addition to operating his farm, Thomas was employed as a stock buyer for Wichita and Kansas City firms. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. W.

Trying: Subway Suit. Today the question of whether the city commissioners may issue i its territory, which was worth of bonds to pay one-! by the publicity committee, third of the cost of the Mechanic, approved by Chamber of Corn- street subway, was being heard by i nierce directors nt the Monday the state supreme court, at Topeka. luncheon. calls for ser. Roscoe Graves, attorney for' Mechanic street property owners, who Instituted the suit to 'compel the city of Emporia to Issue such bonds, went to Topeka today, as did City Attorney O.

L. Isaacs, who will uphold the city's contention that the statutes prohibit the issuance of such bonds. Is Friendly Suit. The case- is an entirely friendly one in which the city is solely concerned with its legal authority to issue subway bonds, and the decision of the supreme court is expected to settle a question which has perplexed municipalities over Kansas for many years. Graves, In filing his original petition, asked that the cose be advanced on tlie docket, which brought today's hearing instead of one in February or March and both sides have asked lor nn early decision in the case.

Ordered Subway Built. Last summer the city commission, empowered by a statute to do so, ordered the Santa Fe to construct a subway on Mechanic street. This the jnta Fe neglected to do, contending with considerable Justice, thc commissioners the expense was too heavy and thnt the city should bear one-third of thc cost. After conference with Santa Fe officials it wns brought out thnt certain expenses of the construction such as digging and pavins approaches, moving water pipes or sldewnlk construction, probably could not be charged to the Santa Fe. It was also deemed entirely fair, by the commissioners, for thc city to pay one-third of the subway costs and the matter wns presented to the voters at the November 8 election where the proposal to issue of subway bonds was approved by the voters with a majority of three to one.

Tears Legal Tangle. The city then delayed issuing the bonds, contending that thc statute which permitted them to order the work done at the expense of the Santa Fo, In effect prohibited them from securing the improvement in any other way. Graves, on behalf of Mechanic street property owners who were anxious to sec the work start, then filed an application for an alternative writ of mandamus to compel the cijv to Issue the bonds. This application wns answered by the city, which stated Its contentions and Graves then filed a motion stating that the answer no defense and asking that preemptory writ of mandamus bo Issued by the supreme court; a filial command to Issue the subway bonds.
