Brown Served Sentence for Violating Prohibitory Law. Robert Brown who has been in the county jail since January serving sentence on a liquor charge was released yesterday, his fine having been worked out. Brown was arrested at the Union Pacific depot with a suit case full of liquor and a number of bottle seals. He was found guilty in the district court of violating the pro- hibitory law, When released yesterday afternoon Brown said that Lawrence would never be bothered with him li 1 i bringing liquor here again. TIPTON WAS RELEASED.

Court Held Evidence Showed Tipton Was not Guilty. The trial of J. Tipton, charged with using vile and indecent language was heard in police court last night. Several witnesses were introduced and their testimony taken. Tipton was released without fine on the testimony of a number of people who were near at the time the arrest was made.

The testimony of the others who were with Tipton at the time the arrest was made, was taken against the testimony of the arresting officer. Tipton said on the stand that he was standing there on the street attending to his own business when an officer stepped up and struck him over the head with his club. The fact that Tipton was acquitted of the charge is said to be sufficient grounds upon which he might bring a suit for damages against the city. HELD AN ELECTION.

Mystery still surrounds the murder of George McElhenv, the Louisburg, Kansas, postmaster, who was slain in his home the night of October 4, 1912, by a charge from a shot gun, but it took the jury just two and one half hours to decide that Roscoe Horn-baker didn't kill him. The jury disappeared behind closed doors at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon and emerged at 6 o'clock with a verdict that not only freed Roscoe Hornbaker, but removed from his wife's name the stain that had been put on it by Mrs. Maude MeElheny, widow of the slain man and chief accuser of Hornbaker. Only two ballots were taken in the jury The first stood eleven to one for acquittal, because juror didn't understand part of of the Hornbakers. The jury repaired to the court room and listened while that part of the case was read to thzen by the stenograph- er.

On the next ballot the prc- dominating theory of Hornbaker 's the tag is sent direct from the sec- retary of state's office to the applicant.

DEPLORES RETIRED FARMER Summer School Lecturer Develops Some Strange Ideas. "The retired farmer is a detri ment to the small town," said Dr.

Henry S. Curtis in his talk before the schoolmen's conference this morning. "He is not progressive, and does not support improvements wmich would necessitate a higher tax rate." "In the country," he added, "the boy can pay for all or at least part of his keep by the time he is ten or twelve years old, while in the city children must be supported longer by their parents. A great many farmers move to town because of their children, who in fact would be better off in the count rv." Dr. Curtis thaen proceeded to draw a parallel between the forms of sport suitable for the country i.i i and the city, showing that tennis is a country sport because of the ground necessary to provide courts would cost too much.

"Enough land to provide tennis courts for New York city would cost more than a billion dollars," he said. On the other hand baseball is not the game for a country school because there are rarely eighteen boys who are big enough to play it. Volleyball he recommended, because it may be played by any number of players of either sex. Tents and playhouses, also the good old fashioned sand-pile, are among the other amusements he recommends for children. In schools he advocates the moving picture machine and the phonograph, supplies for which could be obtained by the county school organization and distributed to the several schools in the district.

A proper use of instructive films in geography, history, and such subjects wrould lessen the time necessary to complete the common schools bythree years, he believes. CHINESE GIRL'S AMERICAN HABITS. By United Press. Denver June 24. Manual Training high school here has a Chinese girl whom Principal Charles A.

Bradley described as "the most remarkable case of a person of alien parentage assimilating American ideas." Mary Hung, an almond-e3ed oriental, has taken the highest honors given at the Manual Training high school. At seventeen, the daughter of a former "king of Chinatown," she is valedictorian of her class. She is one of the most populat girls in the school, if not the most popular. Principal said: "She is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the American girl. She even makes American jokes and is a fluent, though moderate, usei of American slang." She is not a grind.

She "adores" football and at a recent rally made the best speech of any one on the program, teacner not excepted. She "just loves" to dance the latest American dances. She wears Amer ican clothes of the latest fashion as if to the manner born. In short. TODAY'S ODDEST STORY.

Belfield, N. June 24. For verilv, the wrath of God shall decend upon the nations for this war." It was a minister fervently denouncing warring European nations at a meeting being held in a garage building here. Bang! Crash! Bang! In this strongly Russian community, the first thought was that the Germans had started an invasion. The audience was terror stricken and rushed for the doors.

Boys had captured a stray dog, tied a full assortment of tin cans on its tail, and turned it loose in the aisle. The dog made straight for the pulpit. He may not have been converted but he certainly was gathered not fondly in the arms of the congregation.

Sacretarr Mohler, of the state board of agjri culture, today issued a new on the wheat criop of Kansas gfer-1915, based upon late data gathereri. from all parts of the state, and tabor lated and carefully reviewed in Eltc--office. The estimate placed on the wlieasr crop is 138,700,000 bushels for tk present year. This is larger thaxLz the estimate made a month sgp.

The condition of the corn ercsrr -of Kansas, from the reports- ics-ceived is 65 per cent of a full crof and the poor showing is due to- tjfe-unfavorable weather However, there's the chance thzT. corn will improve as much or in the next month as wheat did the last month.

(By telegraph to Berlin and The Hague, thence by mail to New York.) The Allies' attack upon the Dardenelles faces practically unsurmountable obstacles. This is the concensus of opinion in well informed circles here, where it is believed that unless some unexpected factor developes the campaign to force the strait is doomed to defeat. The Turks have perfected a secret system of movable batteries which not only prevent the Anglo-French fleet from locating their constantly moving positions, but enable the defenders to maneuver their guns rapidly to meet every attack by the battleships. Though the bombardment from the fleet is absolutely appalling, it little damage. The biggast shells seldom kill more than two men at one time.

They tear great holes in the earth wnicn tne I urK-ish troops hide successfully until the bombardment ends. These holes offer more protection than the ordinary trenches and this explains why the allies' artillery bombardment, preceding infantry attacks, always prove ineffective. The moment the bombardment ceased the Turks leap from the protecting craters and repulse the enemy charges. I know personally that the entire Gallipoli peninsula literally bristles with nearly 1,000 guns of the largest calibre. The Turks seemingly have almost inexhaustible resources of men.

Recruits arrive here daily from all parts of the empire. Military and naval attaches to the various embassies here tell me that the submarine fleet that Turkey now has is sufficient to prevent the passage of both the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, regardless of their other defenses. Although English submarines have entered the sea of Marmora, they cannot reach the principal units of the Turkish fleet which are kept moored behind impassible barriers. MR. LANSING NAMED President Selected Secretary of State Before Going Away.

Washington, June 24. Robert Lansing, who as counselor of the state department, has advised President Wilson in law and precedent in the policy pursued by the United States toward belligerent governments since the outbreak of the European war was named secretary of state to succeed William Jennings Bryan Few appointments in recent years have given such wide spread satisfaction in the national capital. Mr. Lansing is a life long democrat, but he has devoted his time to international law and diplomacy and is as popular with former republican officials as his colleagues Mr. Bryan himself, although not consulted, is understood to lave hoped for the promotion of Mr.

Lansing. Official announcement of the selection of Mr. Lansing, who has been serving assccretary ad interim since Vthe resignation of Mr. Bryan, June 8, wasmade in the following state-. ment issued from the White House at 6 o'clock last night "Before leaving this evening for a brief rest in New Hampshire the president announced that he had offered the post of secretary of state to Mr.

Robert Lansing, the present counselor of the department of state, and that Mr. Lansing has accepted the appointment. A commission was prepared, which President Wilson signed giving Mr. Lansing a recess appointment. When congress re-convenes the nomination will go to the senate.

No opposition to the appointment is anticipated. ROCK ISLAND FREIGHT KILLED UNFORTUNATE Body Was Badly Mangled and Indicated That the Train Had Dragged Norris Some Distance Before He Was Ground Under the Moving Wheels. C. W. Norris, a man about 3S years old was killed by a Rock Island special freight this morning near Midland.

It is supposed that he was "bumming" the train when 4n some way he fell under the wheels and was crushed. Members of the crew of Rock Island train No 24 found the body supposed to be riding was east bound and none of the members of the crew knew anything about the acci- dent. Very few personal effects were uuuu aii iut tiuunug The onlv thing by which the man might be identified was an address found in his pocket. The address was C. W.

Norris, 1012 Reservoir street, Kansas City, Mo. This address was called and it was found that the man who was killed was C. W. Norris and that his mother lived at 928 Spruce street in Leavenworth. The body gave the appearance that he had been on the road for some time.

He was dressed in ai dark suit of clothes and wore a black cap. Appearances were that the body had been dragged some distance before it was released and badly mangled when run over by the train. The coroner was not able to ascertain anything of Norris' occupation or what he had been doing recently when the inquiries were made this afternoon. An attempt is being made to communicate with his mother in Leavenworth and to locate other relatives and to find if possible whether or not the man was riding on the train which killed him. Death of Mrs.

Elizabeth Martin. Mrs. Elizabeth Martin, 77 years old, died of dropsical affliction last night at her home, 744 Massachusetts street, after several months of sickness. Sha was the widow of the late Henry Martin, and had lived in Lawrence for fifty years. She is survived by one son, Mr.

Henry Martin, two grandsons and one granddaughter, all of this city. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. EXAMINATIONS WILL END THE WORK. Almost 100 of the School Teach ers of Douglas County are in Attendance at the Summer Training School for County Teachers. The enrollment at the county normal institute has now reached ninety-two which is a larger enrollment then has been for a number of years.

The institute will end next Thursday and the examinations will be held on Friday and Saturday. County Superintendent C. R. Hawley said today that there had been more interest shown in the institution this year than there had been for some time. The increased enrollment is one of the things that shows, greater interest.

There are eight more people attending the institute than last year. Superintendent Hawley has been considering the advisability of shortening the institute to five days but the interest this year seems to have changed his mind and it is probable that no change will be made in the length of the session. Teachers from many parts of the state who will teach in Douglas county next year are here attending the institute. Most of the teachers 1 however, are from Lawrence and the ieinity. The institute this year has not had the annual picnic but have devoted their time to work and great results have been accomplished.

Mr. Hawley says that he feels that it has been one of the most successful sessions he has ever held. The faculty for the year have taken a great interest in their work and all of the subjects have been presented in an interesting manner and the students have been able to do the very most in the short time which they have for study.

James McKissack plead guilty to the charge of fighting and was fined $10.50. The evidence introduced in the trial showed that House had provoked the fight by insistent talking to McKissack, calling him names intended to provoke a fight A 50 PER GENT INCREASE AUTOMOBILES GREW LARGELY IN NUMBER. The Year's Business in Auto mobile License Tags Closed Up by County Treasurer. The automobile year is now drawing to a close and the county treasurer has made the report of the bus iness done for the vear. The auto mobile license business increased 50 per cent in the past year over the previous year but the thing that the countv treasurer cannot under stand is the fact that there.

was one less motorcycle license taken out in the year just completed than there was the previous year. The total collections for the automobile license during the vear was 83,458. Of this amount the state gets $578.25 and the countv road fund gets $2,879.75. In all there were 705 licenses issued. 599 of these were taken out before De cember 1.

They were sold at $5.00. The remaining 106 were taken out after that time and were sold at $2.50. There were 99 motorcycles licenses sold at $2.00 each. Last year there were 469 automobiles licenses issued and 100 motorcycle licenses. The motorcycle agencies have been busy all year and a number of machines have been sold but it is evident that license tags have not been taken out for some of the machines.

There is no change in the license law this year and the necessary facts for the license application are the same as they were last year. At the present time there are about 50 applications for next year's tags in the county treasurer's office. These will be sent in to the secretary of state on July 1, and those who have their application in the first installment will be the first to receive their license tags and the numbers will be among the first issued. Last year the smallest num-number in Lawrence was 3014 and the largest was over 57000. The countv treasurer does not have a record of the numbers is-J.
