John Ayers Confesses Robbing Oread Cafe and New York Cleaners
Former Student Makes Poor Records While Enrolled in University
John E. Ayers, University student held at the Douglas county jail for robbing the Oradale courts, confessed late Wednesday afternoon before George K. Melvin, county attorney. He also robbed the Queens City New York Cityers about a month ago.
"I confessed because they had the goods on me and I didn't see any way out," said Ayres this morning. "I robbed the cafe because with her checks out I was hard pressed for money and model it badly. But I wasn't sure I could take any government bonds. I wonder who timed the law off."
Ayers will probably be sentenced to a term in the state rehabilitative. If he is released, his term would be freed at from 7 to 15 years. His preliminary hearing will be waived and his sentence will be reviewed before a judge, as he intends to do.
A diary found on his person, now in the custody of W. J. Cummings, county sheriff, was kept faithfully by Ayers. In the names of many Ayers, the diary includes with whom he associated appeared, "Played poker and beat 90 cents"; "Had a few shoes and went home to," and "Went to Kansas City after a load and went saburting"; are entries in his journal of daily events.
George Spraes, manager of the De Laure laxe firm, said "Ayers applied for a position here has felt fall, conceiving that he would need to reform and wanted to be given another chance. He said he had been in trouble on bootlegging charges and had divorced a wife, but he had returned and employed him and be made a good start." After two months, however, I fired him. Later, at the request of a credit association, I employed him to work for the company until the right of the robbery.
Ayera was a student at Northwestern
学院 at Winfield a year ago.
His records show that he got into
school through aggressive charges. His scholastic
records at the University show that while
he did not flunk, his grades were poor.
He cut very many classes. He
collected in history, sociology and
thics.
Harvey Black, proprietor of the Oread café which was burglarized by the police, said one-fourth of the amount of each check that was stolen to the Men's Glee Club if the students who wrote the checks were into the cafe and duplicated the checks.
In this way Black will realize part of the loss and at the same time the eloise club will be helped in the money mising campaign.

Number of Snow Checks Decreases Since New Year
Service Charge Adopter
by Down Town Banks
Has Not Affected
Deposits
Deposits
The "snow" check situation has been relieved to an appreciable extent by the 25-cent clearing house charge which has been assessed on givers of worthless paper since the first of them in January, made by downtown bankers Thursday.
"The violators of banking rules have decreased 50 per cent at our institution within the past two months," said Dick Williams of the Watkins National Bank. "We yet have many noon and overnight checks to deal with the number of such cases decided last year, than it was at first of the year."
Smaller Number of Bad Checks I. J. Meade of the Lawrence National Bank expressed an opinion that the number of snow checks at his institution "The reason may be due to the fact that the number of violators has not decreased, but that a lesser number of checks are passed daily by these people." The charge was added some of our customers would write three or four checks a day, each for a small amount. Now, however, there is much smaller number of worthless checks written although of them are for larger amounts.
“As soon as we have bad time to cover the town and get in touch with all our present violators, we expect to clear up the situation,” he continued. “There are practically no new violations; the problem is to stop the present ones.”
A noticeable change is manifest at all the institutions, according to reports given out Thursday. The department presents its outlook, as expressed by representatives of these banks, indicates that the practice will soon be stopped to a
Few New Violators
The 50 cent service charge on checking accounts, adopted by downtown banks recently, has made no noticeable effect on those "you only appear to show." The students are aware of the services offered them and do not hesitate to continue doing business with us because of the monthly charge we make," is the general opinion.
