From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 8, 1915:

• “‘Mouse’ Wallenstein is in the county jail facing a charge of highway robbery. It is alleged that he held up Paul Smith and Walter Gill, employees of the Hutchings shoe store, Friday night and took from them several dollars and a watch…. The holdup, Smith and Gill say, took place in an alley between New Jersey and Pennsylvania streets. The young men were on their way home when they were accosted by Wallenstein, who offered to get them some beer. Both said they didn’t use it. Then Wallenstein told them he was an officer, according to their story, and threatened to take the both to the police station. ‘I carry a gun and a star and a blackjack,’ he informed them. He started to march the pair ahead of him down the alley, and then told them he could keep them out of trouble for $5. Satisfied that the man was not an officer, but equally certain that he was armed, the two men gave up what money they had. Then Wallenstein demanded Gill’s watch and got it. Saturday night he entered the store where the two are employed and offered to return the watch for $3. Gill refused. Officer Silverthorn was passing by and was called in. He took Wallenstein to the station.”
• “David Coffey, the man who amazed police officers last week by hiding a large quantity of whisky in an unbelievably small space in a stove, was released from custody in the city jail this morning, where he was serving a sentence for maintaining a nuisance. Coffey was told to hike out of town and not come back. His parole will be revoked if he violates this order.”
• “Anton Gufler died yesterday evening at 8 o’clock at the home of his son, Otto Gufler, 601 Louisiana street, from unexpected complications. He was born in Bavaria, Germany, June 4, 1832, and came to American in 1854, and was the last survivor of the pioneer settlers of Eudora, who came to Kansas in 1857. Mr. Gufler has lived continuously in Eudora and Lawrence, Kansas, these fifty-eight years, and enjoyed good health up to the past few months. During the Civil war he drove government provision wagons between various western forts for the army, and he lived through all the stirring days of the Quantrill raid period and other strenuous times incident to early Kansas History. He retired from active business when he came to Lawrence twenty-eight years ago…. The services will be at the St. Johns Catholic church, this city…. Burial will be in the family lot at Eudora.”
• “Declaring that the world has come to a stage where it is ready to discard the double standard of morality for men and women, Dr. Winfield S. Hall, national authority on matters of sex hygiene, told seven hundred men who gathered at the University chapel yesterday afternoon, that there was no excuse for young men to put up the ‘wild oats’ excuse for their deeds of misconduct. ‘It is absurd,’ the Doctor asserted, ‘for the world to permit in a man what it ostracizes a woman for, and I believe that the time has come when the custom is going to be stopped. If purity should apply to one sex it should apply to the other.’… He declared himself in favor of absolute plainness with children during the period of adolescence and said that much of the disease in the world is caused because parents are too prone to believe that there are some things which their children should not know.”
