OFFERING EVIDENCE
FOR LYNCH THIS WEEK
Sheriff's Attorneys Say Testimony in Ouster Suit Tomor
row Will Be in Regard to County Commissioner's
Alleged Connection With Riverside Road
house; Nesselhous to Take Stand.
One of the thrills of the Clark
Lynch ouster suit, now on trial in
district court, was the designation of
"double-crosser," conferred upon
"Johnny" Lynch by Tom Dennison.
A solemn hush fell over the crowd
when Dennison excoriated his former
pilitical protege and friend. This in
cident transcended in importance the
story that Pete Rooney slept on a
j wrestling mat in the court house gym
: nasium, or the discovery of hair pins
I by Farmer Burns in the gym which
was maintained within the shadow of
i. the halls of justice.
K MAY BEGIN TUESDAY.
i: Attorneys Baker and Howell, for
Sheriff Clark, expect to complete their
1 case against Lynch by adjournment
lime Monday afternoon. The de
it fense will be ready to begin Tuesday
2 morning.
1. The program is to place Billy Nes-
hellions and J. H. Gilbert on the
ltand tomorrow to testify regarding
j VJ.ynch's alleged connection with the
j -'Riverside roadhouse. J. D. (lack)
I Haskell, formerly pf Omaha and now
tif Kansas City, came up from Kaw
I iile to testify tliat he was manager
t V.f Riverside, and . that he, Denniion,
-JJesselhous and Lynch cut the profits
it pi the resort four ways.
t He averred that the profits mounted
as high as $600 per month for each
I, of the four Owners. J. H. Gilbert,
M ho will testify on Monday, was bar
j tender at the old Budweiscr and
1 fcerved as accountant for the River
Ifidc. H. Speculate on Witnesses.
t The absence of Pete Loch and
J johnny Ford, among the witnesses
i for Sheriff Cl:.rk, has been interpreted
5 by Clark's friends as signifying that
J jn all propability they will go on the
1 i,tand for Lynch, although they ad
,$mit that is speculation.
7 Lynch appeared sanguine yesterday
t that h would be able to meet the
s accusations heaped against him dur
; ing the opening days of the trial,

with the "Underworld" saloon, told
of accompanying Lynch on a ride
from the Riverside to the court house
gym with two women and added that
he slept on a mat in the gym. Farmer
Burns told of finding hairpins and
women's hats in the gym. Al. C.
Kugel, superintendent of police, was
mentioned by a witness as having
taken a shower bath there.
Tom Dennison testified that Lynch
received one-fourth of the profits of
Riverside for protection, and Chauf
feur Dan Quinland, of the Riverside,
stated that he drove Lynch and an
other man with two women, one of
whom was left at the Riverview home.
Tylee on the witness stand, de
clared that he was present in the
court house gym when $1,000 in cur
rency was divided between Lynch,
Ford and Loch as the split of the
Lakeside resort's receipts for a week.
Voss Refused License.
Hans Voss, Fifty-sixth and Center
streets, told of an alleged effort by
Lynch to have Voss agree to a part
nership between them and Ford for
the Voss place, Voss to hold the liq
uor license. Voss testified that he de
clined the proposal and refusal of
the license followed.
Clarence Christopher, waiter at
I aipsiHi- testified that Lvnch fre
quented that place and that the em
ployes had been instructed that he
need not pay for meals and liquors,
and that on one occasion he served
12 or 14 bottles of champagne to
County Commissioner Lynch without
making any charge.
He further related that Johnny
Ford, manager of the place, told the
help to "be on the job" when Lynch
came around. He said he was rein
stated in his job on one occasion after
he was fired by Ford.
Bring in Jail Feeding.
During the trial of the case Attor
new Kennedy, for Lynch, emphasized
his contention that the issue in this
case had resolved itself into the good
faith of Lvnch in opposing the sher
ilf's jail feeding bills, and that the
sheriff's opposition to Lynch was
caused by the fight made against
those bills before the county board.
In a formal answer filed to the ac
cusations made by the sheriff, attor
neys for Lynch entered general deni
als to the various specifications cited
in the ouster petition. .
Considerable interest centers m the
testimony that Lynch will offer. It is
understood that he will "have a few
words to say."

Telephones and Signals Used
to Speed the Work of Get
ting Patients to
Hospital.
Camp Funston, Kan., Feb. 16.
"Hair-trigger responsiveness to the
needs of the suffering," is a term.
which has been applied by observers
in describing the rapidity with which
the ambulance service at Camp Fun
ston, home of the 89th and 92nd
(negro) national army divisions, op
erates. The work of the 314th sani
tary train has become so systematized
that from one to three minutes after
a call has been sent in an ambulance
is speeding off in answer.
The motor ambulances are kept in
sheds about 20 rods from the infirm
ary. The cars are drawn up in the
order in which they are to answer
calls, numbered from 1 to 15. When
a call comes in No. 1 is the first to
go, thus each driver knows his order
of call and can be in readiness.

THE VOGUE OF SILK FABRICS
for Spring and Summer
From all sources informa
tion points to an unusual de
mand for silks. Fashion has
so decreed and conditions
have likewise arranged them
selves favorably upon the side
of silks.
Designers and makers
have risen to the occasion and
their efforts are worthy of
pride, as you shall see. You
will be chiefly interested in
the splendid qualities, novel
designs and exquisite color
ings. Foulards are a pro
nounced favorite this season.
They come in unusual divers
ity and are entirely different

former years. Every style

smartly gowned women of a

metry, elegance and economy.
Calls for ambulances are taken
down by a man who if stationed con
stantly at a telephone at infirmary
No. 2. In a book provided for the
pnrpose he resigters the name of the
persons calling, the number of the
infirmary and diagnosis of the pa
tient or patients to be moved. A
record of this information is handed
to a waiting orderly who goes to a
door and signals an ambulance.
For night service, ambulance driv
ers and orderlies sleep at their bar
racks on cots numbered according to
the order in which they are to be
called as needed. A man is constantly
on duty at a telephone in the infirm
ary, ready to receive calls.
Ninety Calls Some Days.
Three ambulance companies, all
motorized, have operated this service
at Camp Funston. Frequently more
than 90 calls a day have been made
by the 15 machines in the service.
Often a trip will take hours, trans
porting a patient to the hospital and"
then to some place where he is to be
isolated. Every precaution is taken
to prevent the men in the service
from taking contagious diseases. One
of these preventive measures is the
spraying of the throat three times a
day while on detail. So efficient have
these measures proven, that hardly
a man in the ambulance service has
contracted disease.
