Man Who Had Been Beaten Up, Fires Without Notice Following a shooting affray in the hallway of the Reno hotel, a lodging house at Thirteenth and Douglas streets, a threatening crowd surged around Detectives Dunn and Kenel- ley, who were in the neighborhood and captured the man who did the shooting. Walter Carrier, or Murphy, as he was known at the hotel, was armed with a 32-caliber revolver, which he discharged three times at Jack Demp- sey, who was hit in 'the abaomen by one of the bullets. Dempsey, who is said to be an I. W. W, was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital by Police Sur- geons Shook and Kula{ofsky, where an examination showed that he was seriously injured, but would probably recover. The hotel people say that Carrier, who registered as Murphy, had had trouble with a crowd of men earlier in the week and had been beaten up a few nights ago by a gang of I. W. W.'s led b, Dempsey, and that Carrier probably thought they were after him again. Automobile Sounds Its Own Alarm When On Fire in Box Car A fire of unknown origin in a Wa- bash freight car loaded with three Paige automobiles for the Murphy- O'Brien company gave hose company No. 2 a run to Eleventh and Daven- port streets about 7 o’clock last eve- ning. The fire had gained a good deal of headway and had begun to eat its way out of the car before it was no- ticed and owing to the heat the fire- men had some trouble in opening the doors to get at it. Three motor cars were damaged se- verely. The loss was estimated as in the neighborhood of $2,000. During the fire a timber dropped down on the button sounding the warning horn on one of the machines, which continued to sound until the doors were opened and the timber thrown off by a stream of water. In opening the door Harry Ferris, one of the firemen, had his right hand severely blistered and burned ahd called on Police Surgeon Shook for treatment. Judgment is Secured in Friendly Land Suit Judgment for $1,190 against Igna- tius Traphagan, who purchased prop- erty from Albert H. Rawitzer, has been secured before Judge A. C, Troup by the First Trust company of Omaha, executors of the estate. The friendly suit was instituted to secure a court order justifying the payment of the balance on real estate bought from Rawitzer, Traphagan refusing to pay the balance until ordered by the courts.

Blow From Officer's Fist Fractures Berman’s Jaw Fred Pontage, a special agent for the Missouri Pacific, saw a man at- tempting to break into a banana car lin the yards last evening. When de- tected the man ran up into “Ram Cat alley,” one of the historic thor- oughfares of the “Bowery,” and when Pontage followed, put up a fight. Pontage struck him on the chin so forcibly that it fractured the jawbone and the robber took the count. At the police station the man was !recognilet{) as Jack Berman, who has had previous acquaintance with the olice department and who was re- eased from the Nebraska penitentiary only about two weeks ago after serv- ing a term for burglary. Does Prohibition Prohibit? The Testimony of the GOVERNOR OF KANSAS (Extracts from an article in the St. Louis Post- Dispatch of Jan. 30, 1916. “@ov. Arthur Capper of Kansas js looking for a man who can develop some method, psychological, mechanical or other- wise, to extraoct the truth from ordinarily good citisens who are customers of bootleggers.” * * * “What Kansas needs most (sald the governor) is someone who will evolve some method of extracting the truth from the patron of & bootlegger. The man who buys booze in Kansas is given to an exaggerated senso of honor.”! * * * “It isn’t & olub or lodge proposition, either. There are ties of fraternity that would cause a man to refuse to divulge the sale or dispensation of liquor in a club house. But there is nothing of this when the liguor is purchased from a boot- legger. In this case a man goes out hunting for liquor and finds it in some drug store, or livery stable, or down on an island, or some other out-of-the-way place where & man has sot up a temporary joint.”” * * * “But to get information from men as to whom sold the liquor or a description of the place where the bootlegger was operating is next to impossible.” * * * It is the most remarksble condition I have ever found in Kansas and I did not kmow it was so general until I received reports from the County Attorneys.” * * * i That’'s what the Governor of Kansas Says about the Failure of Prohibi- tion to Prohibit.
