Was Given a 30 Days Jail Sentence and $200 Fine Many Spoke for Him. Will Spurgeou, who plead guilty to maintaining a nuisance at his livery barn in the 800 block Vermont street was yesterday evening tenced to jail for ISO days and given a tine of $'200 and costs by Judge C. A. Smart. A number Lawrence business men among whom were Charlev Tucker, J.

C. Stevenson appeared in court and asked that the sentence be remitted as this, was his tirst offense. Judge Smart That Is What Trainer Murphy of Pennsylvania Says. IN LETTER TO KENNEDY. Will Only Have Light Signal Practice all Week.

And Many Subs Will Start in the Game Against Iowa With "Vets" as a Reserve. "Give your men a complete rest of two or three days and then light practice." Such was lie advice sent Bert Kennedy the Jayhawker coach by Murphy, the famous Pennsylvania trainer, probably the best known and most skillful handler of bruised and worn-out gridiron war riors in America. Kennedy wrote to his old friend Murphy who used to keep the kinks out of him when ho was starring ot quarterback at 'ennsy asking what he should do with Iowa and Missouri coming so close after a hard battlo like Nebraska. "You've got a tough proposition," was Murphy's comment, "but give j'our men rest, just enough work to keep them loosened up and they may como through all right." That is the plan of Kennedy and Mosse have mapped out for this week, the all important one coming us it does before the hard Iowa game and with just a few days and Thanksgiving day here. A light signal practice for which some of the bruised warriors who defeated Nebraska Saturday did not even put on their suits, made up last night' gridiron program.

A trifle snappiet this afternoon and then some real work tomorrow ls Kennedy's dope for today. Light work is billed for Thursday and then off for Iowa City and the struggle with the Hawkeyes. Kansas is not expecting a hard battle with Catlin's Iowans. They may spring a suruprise on the con- dent Jayhawks but in games that they wanted to win more than tho Kansas contest they failed to de liver these prize packages. Kennedy will take his full team along but start his second backfield and as many of the sub linesmen as ht.

dares. If they con hand out a defeat to Hawkeye well and good and glory be to the subs, but if they fail to crush the Iowans line, tho steam hammer, pile driver, satapul-tic backfield which riddled the Corn-huskers will be called into play to make the necessary touchdowns. Iowa is a second--consideration, however. It is Missouri that tho Jayhawks are laying for and not Iowa. They would willingly lose to the Hawkeyes if they thought that winning would injure their chances against Missouri, but it is a "never-defeated" that the rooters and the players themselves are pulling for now.

The Kansas lads have a pretty wholesome respect for the prowess Missouri. They burked up against most of them at St. Joseph and they know how hard they can play. The new Tigers are said to have strengthened the team fifty per cent so it is no cinch that await Kennedy's protges when they start the Rock Chalk on Association park-for the first time in two years. The Kansas squad will not return Lawrence after the Iowa game, but spend the remaining three days before the Turkey Day battle in Kansas City at the Coat eg house, working out on Association park so to be' thoroughly acquainted with the field.

Kennedy thought this more advisable than to bring the squad ou back to Lawrence and then leave the next day for Kansas City. At the Merchants Athletic Club. The Gustafson and Day teams bowled last night. The Gustafson team bowled 21408 pins; high scoro 500. On the Day team, 2277 pins were bowled high' score 5S8.

American Fleet Receives Orders to Coal and Provision. Manila, Nor. 17. Officers of the Atlantic flet believe that Japanese aggression in China, following tho new regime is certain to precipitate war with the Unted States. They think a confict will come as soon as Japan is financially aide.

Many believe that the Chinese emperor and empress were poisoned, so that their deaths would occur while the American fleet was in the Pacific to prevent immediate Japau-ese aggressions. American residents here share the belief that was is inevitable. The military officials here are thoroughly alarmed and great precautons have been taken to protect the fortifications. The Japanese have been ex- eluded from the naval and military stations. The Philippine squadron has re- To Louisiana University Yesterday by Score of 32 to j) Were Outweighed and Outplayed.

Outweighed jhnd outplayed, the Haskell Indians went down to defeat before the Louisiana State university team at New Orleans by the score of 32 to 0. The Indians fought pluckily to the last, but all their efforts were of no avail against the heavy Southerner's line, which crushed through the lighter redskins and broke up play after play. The redskins got off a few good samples of the new football, but dur ing most of the game they were oil! the defensive trying to keep theLou isiana team away from their goal Louisiana, the champion gridiron eleven of the South, had a crashing attaek which swept the Indians oft their feet The score 32 to 0, indicates the relative merits of the team, although it was the superior strength of the Southerners and not their strategy. which gave them victory. RECKLESS DRIVING.

Little Boy Barely Missed Being Run Down Sunday, At the close of the Baptist Sunday- school at 1 o'clock, Sunday a father stood on the corner talking to' hi children, when the little boy started to run across Kentucky street. A buggy was standing to his left, so that he could not, see in that direc tion, and just then an automobile whizzed bv at high speed. The car barely missed the child, and had it been a part of a second later the child would have been killed The driver of this car has been guilt on several occasions of driv ing his car in a reckless manner, and it is probable that someone will be killed before he learns a lesson It seems remarkable that anyone running a car should not have bet ter judgment than to race by a church or school house where little ones are coming out. lawrence is not so large but what a car can cover all of the paved streets in a comparatively short time and there is no possible excuse for speeding. An effective way to stop reckless driving would be to make it punishable by a jail sentence.

After a few of the well-to-do owners of cars or members of their families had served a sentence in the city jail, the officers would have little trouble in enforcing the law against speeding. C. A. Cleveland and wife of Ana- darko, have spent the week with Col. and Mrs.

John D. Miles, leaving at 2:30 this afternoon. Mrs. Cleveland is a niece of Col. Miles and Mr, Cleveland is one of his old time acquaintances among the Indian agencies of the country.

Mr. Cleveland was in the Indian service for years and has lived a lifetime on the fron tier. He is now a well-to-do citizen of his town, being interested in many of its enterprises. TELLS STUDENTS TO VENTILATE ROOMS. Prof.

Bailey Gave Some Valuable Ad vice in Chapel This Morning About Care of Health. Prof. E. H. S.

Bailey of the chemistry department of the university spoke to the students in chapel this morning. He spoke of the need of fresh air for the students and the lack of ventilation in most of the university buildings. The chemist ry building and the phyes buld-ing are exceptions, being well ventilated by fan blowers. Tests of air in some recitation rooms have been made and the air was found to be very bad. He also spoke against the use of gas stoves without ehimne3-s for students' rooms.

By the use of these stoves harmful and poisonous gases are formed. He stated that the city water was of good but that the condition of well water is questionable.

After being out for several hours, the jury in the suit of W. R. Stein- er against the Lawrence National bank brought in a verdict in favor of the defendant. This ends a case which has bothered the eourts sincc 1904, and which has come to trial three different times. Stiner who was a depositor in the Lawrence National bank, claims that the bank paid out $225 011 a check which he did not sign and which wa3 fraudulent.

The dispute lay over the question of signature, the bank show ing that Stiner did not raise any ob jection to the cheek for two wees after he had had his book balanced. Mr. Quakenbusch of the" Lawrenct Business College, and W. F. March of the Merchants bank were called in to testify as experts on handwriting.

The jury brought in a verdict that was Stiner 's signature. This was the third time the case has come before the courts. Once the evidence was not complete and it was continued. The second time a hung jury resulted and the third time a verdict was brought in in favor of the bank. TOO LATE TO CLASSIIT.

George W. Campbell was born May 21, 1837, in Warren county, Indiana. In 1845 he moved with his father's family to Hendricks county, where he lived until 1856, when the family moved to Illinois, where they lived until 1S62. In that year, on the 5th of August, he. with his broth er Samuel S.

Campbell, became members of Company 129 Illinois infantry. Soon after its organization they broke camp at Pontiac, 111 and joined the army at Louisville, Ky, where the regiment was assigned to the Eirst Brigade, third division, 20th C. They took part in the long and hard marches to Perryville Crab Orchard and Boling Green, and to Nashville, Tenn. In February, 1864, they marched to Chattanooga, where joined Sherman's army and took an active part in nearly all the battles of the Atlanta campaign. Kesaca, uauon, rsurni Hickory, Kennesaw Mountain, etta.

Peach Tree. Creek and the siege and capture of Atlanta. Mr. Camp bell was one of the many gallant soldiers who marched with Sherman to the sea, through the Carolinas, Vir gina and in the grand review at Washington, D. C.

Soon after the war he moved to Douglas county, where he lived on a farm east of Bismark Grove, until about ten years ago, when he moved to North Lawrence. Mr. Campbell was twice married. His first wife died in April, 1891. He was later married to Mrs.

of to as A. C. Mitchell Tells of Laws Wants Enacted. He STOP DRINKING ON TRAINS. He Would Do Away With Drunkenness on Passenger Coaches.

Suggests That Wagons With Broad Tires Be Exempt From Taxation Would Amend Bridge Law. One obieet Representative A. C. Mitchell of this city has in going to the legislature this winter is to se cure the enactment of a law prohibiting the drinkingof liquor on railroad trains. Inasmuch as Mr.

Mitch ell will likely be the administration floor leader of the house, legislation backed by him stands a good show of passage. "Conductors, on ti-ains out of Kan sas City with whom I have talked," said he, 'are very much in favor of a law against drinking liquor on trains. They say that drinking on the trains is often the cause of loud and boisterous language, sometimes amounting td a disturbance of the peace of the passengers, but the conductors are powerless to prevent it." Representative Mitchtell is also deeply interested in many other pro posed measures. "The farmers of this county want wagons with broad tires, and to en courage their use suggest that all wagons with broad tires' be exempt from taxation. "The countj' attorney-s, who have to enforce the law.

are in favor of the re-enactment of the law provid ing for the taking of testimony before the county attorney upon subpoenas to furnish evidence upon which to bring prosecutions for the violation of the prohibitory law. "I think, also, the state of Kansas should have a law providing for the taxation of inheritances. Taxes upon inheritances are becoming very general throughout the states, and are provided for by nearly all of them. "I have in mind a general amend ment to the bridge law of the state. The general law providing for tht construction of bridges is to the ef fect that the board of county com missioners shall not have authority to build any bridge, the cost of which shall be more than $2,000, without submitting the question to the voters of the county: Authority should be given to the commissioners of the county to construct bridges which should cost $5,000 to $6,000." Mr.

Mitchell, being the representative from the 'home of the univer-j sity, and also a regent, will champion the K. U. appropriation bill on the floor of the house. Everything in the line of aihletic goods at Smith 'a News Depot. Hear Harold Henry's piano recital tonight at Fraser hall.

PROSECUTE THE TRESPASSERS The Farmers' Institue of Lone Star Forbids Killing. Of Quail on Their Farms Several C. P. A. Lodges May Take Similar Action, A determined effort is being made by' he fanners in several ditriets of iVMglas county to stop quail IniMtiuvr altogether.

The Farmers Institute at which in-i dudes practically every fanner of that met Saturday ami passed a resolution, agreeing among Ihetn-elves not to kill quail and forbidding oilier people to hunt over their jrensi-es. This is about the tirst united action to lie taken, hut it is that several of the P. A. lodges and the Farmers' institutes in other l.K-alities are going to iass similar resokilins lorDiuumi: the killing of quail. Sunday, with the opening of the hunting M-aso for quail, hunters from all over the rountr- floekeil to the eintry and started the slaughter of tliese useful birds.

It was estimated by some sportsmen who were pretty familiar with the hunt injr situation, that more than a thousand were killed the rirt day alone. That number of birds left in the grain fields next summer would have destroyed any number of injurious insects. The farmers in the districts where the quail hunting is to be stopped, are determined that they thai I be protected and say that they will pros ecute anyone killing them. Of eours-during the ojeii season it is lawful to kill the quail, but it is not lawful to hunt over farms without gaining permission of the owner. While tnei hunters cannot ie siih-k nr kuuhs: quiil they can be taken up on a trespass charge, which is alnust as serious.

"We don't want t. act mean at all in this matter," said C. F. Smith of Lone Star, this morning, "but it certainly is to the farmers interest to protect the quail and the people of our neighborhood are unanimous in the demand that they be protected. If they are not hunted at all for a couple of years, we will soon i i -n: have enough so that they can be hunted freely with no danger of driv ing them out of the county." K.

The sheep stealing mystery, which has been pu.ziing the Douglas county officers for the past week now stands in a good way of being solved. Yesterday the sheriff discovered the place fiom which part of the sheep had been shipied.

He absolutely re- fused to discuss the matter this morning until he had followed up the clue more closely, but the evidence secured proves almost conclusively that the sheep were stolen, driven off in the middle of the night, -loaded on the cars and shipped to Kansas City. The "officers are following the case closely and hope to make an arrest soon. The stery of the robery is a lold oue. A week and a half ago A. C.

James, who lives in Eudora township discovered that 12o of his best sheep were missing. He thought that they had simply strayed off and took up a two days' search with no results He was then called into service as a juror and the hunt for his missing slieep had to be put off again. Then the sheriff was called in nd a thorough search of the entire neighborhood was taken up, but no sheep were found and the conclusion was arrived at that the sheep had been stolen. To drive 12.) head of sheep off and load them on the cars and ship them to Kansas City seemed so bold a deed for anyoue to attempt in so thickly settled county as Douglas that the officers could hardly believe it possible, but 'yesterday's discovery points strongly toward such the clues discovered being the case. For the past week they have been working on th mystery, and the clue discovered yesterday, they believe, will lead to the arrest of the offenders.

Such were the figures given today in the new city directory got ten out bv the Polk company Agents of the Polk company made a careful canvass of the town twice during the summer to seotire all the names. All these were carefully sorted out so that there was no chance of duplication.

This left a total of 8.04S names. In their years of experience in the directory work, the Polk company hive figured out that on an average that total should be multiplied by 2- to account for all the children and married women, whose names of course are not in the book. This method of estimating population is not an accurate one as far as secur ing exact totals is concerned but it gives a general idea of the size of the town and by a comparison with last year directory will show how much the town has grown in the past year. Last year the city directory pub lished by the same company contained 7.678 names which multiplied by 22 made the estimated population 19,195. This compared with the 20,120 people credited to Lawrence by this year's directory shows a gain of 927 people during the year.

While the exact total of the population may not be accurate, where the same ratio is used in both years of 2-2 to multiply by, there is no room for any great inaccuracy in the figures showing the growth or in- crease. Last spring Coburn credited Lawrence with a gain of 7S7. Since then, the people have been coming in faster than ever and more new houses have been going up ovr town than ever before in its history. It is not surprising then that the directory should show an increase in the gain and when Co-bum's report is issued again on the population up to the first of next March it will probably show a gain for Lawrence of more than a thousand. The merchants of Lawrence have all been on the greatly increased business while real estate dealers say that never have good salable houses been so scarce in years.

More people really want to make their homes here than there are available houses right at present. This of course accounts for the high rents which have never reached the top notch figures before that they have attained this fall.
