"Its ivy'd walls contain the sweet dreams of those who built the western empire and helped mould the motto of our great on the bronze tablet to be placed in the Old Tavern by the D. A. K. Thursday. (By a Stuff Correspondent.) ARROW ROCK, Sept.

quaint little river town of Eastern Saline County, once the social and commercial capital of the old Santa Fe Trail, is preparing for one of the most inspiring events in the more than one hundred years of its civic life. Next Thursday several hundred visitors will come here from all parts of Missouri to witness the ceremonies when the famous Old Tavern is formally turned over to the state, which in turn is to pass it on into the keeping of the Missouri chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The Old Tavern, built in 1830 by Judge Joseph Huston, is one of the few landmarks in the state to connect the frontier days before the Civil stirring, the present. The D. A.

R. will preserve the building as a historical museum, and provide a gathering place for those interested in the Golden Age of Kit Carson, Washington Irving, George C. Bingham, the Jacksons, the Sappingtons, the Marmadukes and others, once familiar figures in this historic old town. STATE APPROPRIATED $5,000. The Old Tavern was owned 1 by Mrs.

Nettie Dickson and Mrs. Annie Hickerson. The last legislature appropriated $5,000 to buy the famous inn. The money was paid a few days ago. Governor Hyde will be here, accompanied by Mrs.

Hyde. Senator James A. Reed has written that he hoped to be present; also ex-Governor Gardner and Mrs. Gardner. National and state officials of the D.

A. will be here to attend the ceremonies. The celebration will be in charge of the local chapter of the D. A. assisted by the state officers and the Sedalia chapter, which aided in obtaining the $5,000 appropriation bill by the last legislature.

The townspeople will serve a barbecue dinner. Talks will be made by Representative R. L. Hains of Slater, Mrs. A.

H. Connelly of Kansas City, Mrs. Crete Rose Botts of Mexico, Mrs. Paul Hitt, Chillicothe, Mrs. John Trigg Die Moss, St.

Louis, Mrs. C. C. Evans, Sedalia, and Mrs. Dickson.

Mrs. Frank P. Morris, regent of the Arrow Rock chapter, will preside. The Rev. John Alexander of Marshall will offer the invocation.

A flag salute will be led by Miss Katharyn Biggs, daughter of Paul Biggs, local banker. AN APPROPRIATE SETTING. No more suitable place could have been found than in this little Santa Fe Trail town of four hundred population to establish a shrine for the pioneers, who were active participants in the winning of the West. The town is much the same as when George C. Bingham, the famous artist, painted "The County Election" and other famous works, which gained recognition in Europe." The old house in which Bingham did some of his best paintings still is standing.

On the main street is the macadam paving and rock curbing laid by slaves before the Civil War. The first girls' boarding school in Missouri remains. Three John S. Marmaduke and M. M.

Jackson. duke are buried here; also four wives of governors. The Old Tavern is much as It was In the days when Kit Carson first met Washington Irving. Leading into the old taproom is broken stone step, where a barrel of whisky was dropped in surprise when Irving was seen inside. HISTORIC RELICS THERE, In the largest guest room upstairs is the huge 4-poster, canopied bed -the Sappington bed -in which George Washington once slept at Philadelphia.

There the bed of Claiborne F. Jackson, the war-time governor; the musket used by John S. Marmaduke in the war of 1812 and his duelling pistols. On the walls of the Old Tavern is a bill of sale dated May 2, 1831, by which Joseph Huston sold a slave for $400. A proclamation of Governor Jackson mobilizing Missouri's fifty thousand state troops to repel the federal soldiers, hangs nearby: It is equally my duty to advise you that your first allegiance is due to your state, and that you are under no obligation whatever to obey the unconstitutional edicts of the military despotism which has enthroned itself at Washington, nor to submit to the infamous and degrading sway of its wicked minions in this state.

The Old Tavern, with all its historical associations, has been operated continuously since 1830. Nearly every Mistouri governor has been a guest there. UPROAR IN KNIGHT CASE FEELING AGAINST DEFENDANTS SHOWN AT WARRENSBURG HEARING. While Attorney for Defense Is Seekins Continuance, Which Is Granted, Crowd in Courtroom Displays Sentiment, 1 Bu a Staff Correspondent.) WARRENSBURG, Sept. trials of Harry and Guy Knight, Chester Kerr and Frank Carey on a charge of murdering George McCormick near Holden several weeks ago, were postponed today until October 15.

The hearing before Judge Ewing Cockrell in circuit court this morning was marked by extreme bitterness of feeling toward the defendants on the part of a large crowd. An uproar in the courtroom, following a tilt between attorneys, resulted in a rebuke from Judge Cockrell, who said that if the case, were before a jury it would have resulted in a mistrial. It was over one point in the plea of the defense for a continuance of the murder trials that the clash came. J. Francis O'Sullivan, of Friedburg O'Sullivan of Kansas City, representing the Knights, had urged that defense counsel had not had sufficient time in which to prepare its case: that the present inflamed state of public feeling in Johnson County made it advisable to avoid trial at this time and that three important witnesses for the defense could not be present now.

NAMES MISSING WITNESSES. These missing witness were named as Miss Eunice Knight, sister of the accused brothers, who is a school teacher in Arizona; T. H. Knapp of Kingsville, and George Stephenson. Judge Nick M.

Bradley, special assistant prosecutor, questioned O'Sullivan concerning the absent In particular, he wanted to know Knapp's connection with the case. O'Sullivan replied that he was a farm hand employed by Albert E. Shahan', friend of the Knights, who was shot and killed by Lowell McCormick, son of George McCormick, at Holden Sunday. thought so," said Bradley, with heavy emphasis. Instantly the courtroom was In an uproar and it was some time before order was obtained.

More than 1,000 persons were present, while many others endeavored to get a glimpse of the proceedings from doorways and the hall of the court house. It was plain to be seen that the crowd was strongly against the Knights. There was a large delegation from Holden, where the McCormick-Knight feud had its origin in a dispute over a hog last summer. GUY KNIGHT CAN'T STAND TRIAL. After order had been restored and the judge had rebuked the crowd, O'Sullivan proceeded with his plea for a pointing out that Guy Knight was in no condition to stand trial at this time.

He wounded by Lowell McCormick when the latter fired on a party in a motor car Sunday, at which time Shahan met death. The younger McCormick was exonerated by a coroner's jury yesterday and was here today waiting to be called as a witness against the alleged slayers of his father. A hearing of the charge against Harry Knight for disposing of mortgaged property is being held this afternoon. FATHER MAY STEAL CHILDREN. Man Can't Be Arrested, Chicago Judge Rules, CHICAGO, Sept.

spending a week in jail here for breaking a screen door at the home of his father-in-law in Council Bluffs, and taking his three small children away, Howard Walker, formerly of Omaha, was freed today. "You can't arrest a man for stealing his own children," said Chief Justice Caverty of the criminal court in releasing Walker on a habeas corpus action. Walker's wife was killed in a street car wreck last winter, he said, and his father-in-law, W. P. Lozey, sued the street car company, took possesion of his grandchildren, and left Omaha.

-State soldier compensation board attorneys disagree as to the existence of friction--political and personal among the three members of the bonus board Governor Davis, N. A. Turner, state auditor, and Frank J. Ryan, secretary of state. Called as the first witness at resumption of the legislative committee's investigation today, Lee Bond, Leavenworth lawyer, testified that, although heard rumors of friction," none appeared the board meetings, adding that he did not stand his selection as one of the three board attorneys was "for political reasons." In his testimony yesterday afternoon, Robert L.

Stone, Topeka lawyer, stated that the fact that each member of the board selected an attorney was "for political reasons," and that "there was a great deal of political feeling among members of the board." Bond estimated the aggregate time he had spent as an attorney for the board was "about twenty-five full days." Each of the three attorneys received a fee of $2,500, but their services were termiated by the special session of the legislature last month. As to the fee, Bond's testimony corroborated that of Stone. He said the original understanding was that a fee of probably $500 would be paid. But, he said, much more work, including litigation in connection with the 25-million-dollar bond issue, developed. Meanwhile the flare-up between the departments of bonus director and state auditor, through the exchange of open letters, each virtually charging the other's force with inefficiency and unnecessary delay in distribution of the bonus fund, has attracted the attention of the investigating committee.

Turner today was summoned to appear. CARELESS DRIVER TO JAIL. Another in Kansas City, Pays $130 Fine. The maximum penalty under the careless driving ordinance of Kansas City, a fine of $100 and thirty days in jail, was imposed today on two defendants in police court by Judge Harry S. Roberts.

Melvin Bailey, negro, 18 years old, 1013 New Jersey avenue, and Mazka, 27, 7 South street, were the defendants. Mazka paid $130 and the jail sentence was not enforced. The negro was the driver of the car which killed Andrew Thomas, a 13-yearold boy, September 13. The boy was riding a bicycle and was hit when the negro drove his car around another and swerved into him. The accident was near the intersection of Thirteenth street and Haskell avenue.

In addition to the fine and sentence, Judge Roberts ordered Bailey not to drive a car until he became 21 years old. Frank Hatula, 17 years old, also will not be allowed to drive a motor car until he is 21 years old. An order to that effect and a fine of $25 was his punishment today when he admitted to Judge Roberts he was driving forty miles an hour on Thirteenth street. Halula lives at 26 South Thirteenth street. 20, Kansas avenue, and Harry Two, other youths, James Hattley, Schleicher, 19, 841 Reynolds avenue, were fined $10 each on speeding charges.
