THE SALINA DAILY UNION, MANY WANT THE VAN LEAR KIDDIES BUT JUDGE WILSON HAS NOT YET MADE UP HIS MIND. GRANDMOTHER WANTS ONE And There Are Any Number Who Ask the Baby--Father Somewhere in Ohio. Several years ago there was a well known tea company that advertised its wares with a song, the first line of which was: "Oh this is the day we give babies away." Juvenile Judge Wilson, is not in the tea business, but it was his job today to try to give away a chubby, cuddly little colored baby, just 5 weeks old, and his little half sister aged 6 years. There were a number of applicants for both children. The mother's mother, Mrs.
Josephine Hutton, who lives in Tennessee, is very anxious to take Lucy the eldest, and several other good women have offered to take little Cleo Pascal Watson Van Lear, the baby. However the judge did not decide who would have them, permanently and for the present Mrs. Sallie McLain is taking care of them. There is no priority in the matter. of finding homes for orphan children, for the judge's endeavors to find the best possible home for the little ones regardless of who applies for them first.
Little Cleo, is a fine baby, according to the judge. He was in the court for over an hour this morning, and never whimpered during the entire time. He just cooed, and sucked at his bottle of malted milk, much more concerned in that, than he was in how his future was to be disposed of. The father, James Van Lear, who deserted his family, is now living in Cleveland, Ohio. DEATHS AND FUNERALS Mrs.

m. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J.

SALINAITES ARE DRINKING BEER The County Clerk, today received a report from the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, of their liquor shipments to Salina persons during the two months between June 1 and August 1. A rough estimate showed 570 names listed.
of persons in Salina who have brought liquor into this city, for private use in that time this one road alone. Considering that there are three other railroads, and two express companies in Salina, that number represents only about one-sixth of the people who have bought liquor in that time. Beers seems to be the favorite beverage, and the 72 quart barrels the favorite quantity, although one man got 144 quarts in one order. Altogether there were 8,111 quarts or 2027 gallos of beer listed on the report in the 15 days between July 15 and 31. A PROFITABLE DAY AT POLICE STATION Tom Hudson Tries a Little Gun Play On His Fellow Citizens, Now in Jail.
Several fines were cashed in this morning when police court convened. Roy Hildebrant was arrested last night for being drunk and paid a cash bond of $9. Tom Hudson got loose with a gun which he handled very carelessly last evening and on complaint of persons who were fortunate enough to escape with their lives, Tom was arrested and he and his gun brought to the police station. That Tom has many friends or they may well trained enemies is attested by be, the fact that several of his ducky race came to the police court early this morning to help him out. Tom will have to dig up $20 and costs and promise to be careful with his weapons hereafter, to get free.
A charge of vagrancy was brought against Jim Main, arrested yesterday. It was hoped the police would be able to get the goods on Main for bootlegging but as yet the evidence has proven elusive so the other charge will hold him long enough for an investigation. Hattie Scott and Jack Peterman were arrested last night on a of occupying a room for purposes of charge prostitution. Peterman paid a cash bond of $16 and left. The woman remained in jail this morning and after pleading guilty to the charge paid $26 for fine and costs.
This was the third offense in court for the woman. One F. J. Benton who says he is from Junction City seems to be implicated in the case to the extent that he had a letter from the Scott woman on him when arrested for being drunk. The Scott woman claims to have a husband, whom she married at Hill City about a year ago when arrested with him on a similar charge.

Coolest Place In Town Salina's Perfect Photo Play -House Matinee Every Afternoon at 2:00 10 Cents TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1916 NATION'S WEALTH SHARED BY LABOR HOW WAGES HAVE GROWN UNDER THE DEMOCRATS. SOME INTERESTING FIGURES Wages 10 Per Cent Above Last G.
O. P. Rule Twenty Per Cent Above Roosevelt Regime. The second chapter of the Democratic text book in the process of being printed deals with the wage problems of America and shows how the laboring man has benefited in many dollars during the Wilson administration. Extracts from this second chapter were made public today at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in New York.
A week ago the first chapter, containing the wonderful story of America's golden gain during the administration of Mr. Wilson into -the story insignificance which all causes records to of America's past achievements--was published. In both the first and second chapters there are set forth important facts and figures for those who have been raising the calamity howl against the democracy. The second chapter, released today is a description of the sterling Democratic doctrine that the real prosperity of a nation is to be measured first by the prosperity of its workers. The United States Department of Labor, has just completed its official report which shows that the average wage increase in the industries is from five per cent to twenty percent during the past four years, and that from 1913 to 1916 during the Wilson administration, wage in the United States were paid 000,000, against $14,320,000,000, paid in during four years of Mr.
Taft's term- from 1909 to 1912. In other words this record shows that during the Wilson administration the wage earners of the country received in wages over $3,000,000. more than they did during the four years preceding under the republican administration. Here is part of the story of labor's prosperity as culled from the Democratic Text Book. Taking the official data of the U.
S. Department of Labor upon union wages per hour as the basis of computation, you find that the average union wage during the years 1914 and 1915, under Democratic laws and administration, were 10 per cent, higher than the average for the six years -1907 to 1912 inclusive--under the Dingley and Payne laws and republican administration. Taking as a basis a tabulation of press announcements of wage increases for 1916, made by the Department of Labor, it is conservative to place the 1916 wage level at 10 per cent higher than 1915; or 20 per cent higher than the Republican level of 1907- 1912. census of 1910 (based on 1909 data) gave the number of wage earners employed in manufacturing industries only as 6,615,000, and the wages paid, $3,427,000,000. It is estimated (on basis of preliminary returns of 1914 census of manufacturers) that in 1915 American manufacturers gave employment to 7,800,000 wage earners at wages amounting to 000; or an increase of nearly 000,000 over 1910.
It is conservatively estimated that in 1916 American manufacturers employ, 10 per per cent higher wage average earners rate of wages per annum than in 1915. This would bring the 1916 volume of wages paid in manufactures only up to $5,300,000,000, of upwards of 800,000,000 over the Republican census record of 1910. These figures are for wage earners employed in manufacturing industries only. The census of 1910 gave the total number employed in manufacturing and mechanical' industries as 10,658,000, in transportation 2,637,000. and in mines 964,824, and in agriculforestry and animal husbandry (exclusive, of 6,000,000 farmers making and other employers) as 6,649,000 a total industrial army of wage earners of over 20,000,000.
BASKETBALL GAME FOR OUT OF DOORS Lawrence, Kansas, August It remained for Dr. James Naismith, the father of basketball to make a variation in his game so that it could be used with great success on an outdoor court. The regular game is slowed down too much by the ball's being out of bounds and the contestants having to run far to get it each time. A shot the goal came to mean a chase after the ball. The new variation of the game is made to furnish an outdoor sport besides the ones already in use for the soldiers now in camp on the border.
Dr. Naismith is chaplain of the First regiment of Kansas Militia and has introduced the game with great success to the men of his regiment. Already nine teams have been organized in the regiment and a tournament started. The First Vermont regiment has a challenge awaiting the Kansas regiment as soon as they can get their court fixed up. Silver loving cups have been offered by the citizens of Eagle Pass for the winners of the basketball tournament.
The Lawrence high basketball team is intact on the border and they have entered the league with the expectation of bringing home the cup to add to the collection already in the trophy case at the high school. They have a good chance of winning it because of the flying start they will be able to make. In the actual rules of the game little variation is seen. The main variation comes in the court and arrangement of the baskets. The court is not a rectangular affair like the indoor courts but it consists of a large oval- large enough to furnish plenty of room for the athletes to and the ball in keep in bounds kep bounds also.
The baskets are not located at the ends of the court as is customary in basketball but are set inside the bounds of the court at least feet from the ends. In addition to this the basket has no backstop and it is possible to shoot a basket from behind the goal as well as in front of it. The lack of backstops makes for a number of basketball players to get on to the game but the soldiers are taking up with the new variation. The reason given for speed of new game is due to the fact that the court is larger and the ball seldom goes out of bounds. Shooting baskets from all angles makes the game fast also.
The college men and former basketball stars are playing the game in the camp Eagle Tass sider it a good outdoor gaine on the border and the return of the militiamen to their homes in the various parts of the United States will cause a general interest throughout the country. and the ball in H. Blaterwick was in charge of the culinary preparations. Fried chicken, and different varieties of salads, ices and cakes were on the menu of good things.

ARGUE OVER HAY. MAN IS STRUCK DOWN McPherson, Aug. Gust Nyquist entered his office Tuesmorning he found a man with day, bloody head to greet him. He could tell at once that there had been trouble somewhere, but when the stranger introduced himself as a Mr. Nyquist, the county attorney wondered what would happen next.
Even his namesake was getting into some kind of melee. The story as told by Mr. Nyquist and his son, William was to the effect that they went to a hay field in the morning. This they had leased of a party in Hutchinson. They claim that Peterson had cut hay on their ground.
They met the latter and began to discuss the proposition with him. They asked him about whether he was going to cut some more on their land and Peterson struck Nyquist. The marks on the lips of the elderly gentleman showed where he had been hit. Peterson than picked up a and Nyquist grabbed for a wrench, wood, this being the handle to a jack of the automobile owned by Nyquist. He says he did this after Peterson had secured the wrench.
Peterson took the piece of wood away from his oponent and struck him on the head. This cut a deep gash over the left eye that bled furiously. The younger Nyquist got between his father and Mr. Peterson and the stick struck him on the breast. His father remained unconscious about 5 utes.
He immediately was taken home and came to town acompanied by his son and a neighbor. County attorney G. Nyquist immediately investigated the case and found that the fight was in Rice county, where the case may be taken up. HUSBAND OF THE BABY TORTURER IS RELEASED. Kansas City, Aug.
