Xo Iteform" V. S. Version, Washington, July 13. Germany Is making no real internal reform. The reported resignation of Hollweg and his associates meant to officials here today merely a shift ot' men not principles. Germany is throwing out a sop to world opinion, it is believed, while in fact she remains a great mili tary autocracy. Taking stock of the situation, both from press reports and from the word of returned observers, military men today viewed matters with extreme pessimism. Hollweg s scorniui rejection oi j annexations, no indemnities' signified to the experts here that the military side of Germany has presented sta tistics showing cold bloodedly the Herman confidence in victory. And, I while military men only wnisper mis, they say that present developments point strongly to the uselessness of the present trench warfare as a de cisive factor in swaying the war bal ance. Air or Navy May le'lde. A big air victory or a decisive naval encounter, they declare, is the only thing to upset the present alignment. Trench warfare, as they see it, is only continuous murder, with no prospects of either side drawing real victory. The United States, experts say, must undertake a big air offensive, or risk all her ships in a smash at Germany's sneItered navv in tne Kiel canali ejse i.j ,ii 1. iii .j be a deadlock on the west front, Amer)ca perhaps could turn the scales, they say, by sending more mil- j lions of men than she has planned, but the process would be so long as to be almost impossible. Meantime the Gei-man .int,.i c f I not taken seriounly here, for it spells nothing approaching a real popular revolution, in the minds of authori ties. STILL ON THE JOB Unknown Whether Kaiser In tends To Oust Chancellor. His Resignation Due to Radi cal Crown Prinee, Belief. r-,ii Cnancell Hague. July 13. German or von Hethmann-Hollwcs submitted his resignation in order to j the kaiser ir T a solut on of the nar i "on Matthias Erzberger's position in the reiehstag, according to authoritative information here today. Berlin dispatches did not yet shed light on whether the kaiser had for mally accepted Hollweg's resignation and those of other ministers. Nor was there any explanation why the crown prince, known as an extremist of the junkers, should have been con ferring with liberal leaders. One report here was that the crown prince as leader of the junkers had forced out Hollweg because the chan cellor exhibited signs of some yield ing to the popular clamor for a real peace offer. Hold Up War Credits. Washington, July 1 3. The Uuteh newspaper Nieuwe Courant claims confirmation of reports that Ohancel- lor Hollweg and the entire Prussian cabinet have resigned, according to information reaching the state de- partment today. The newspaper also prints a letter from the kaiser to the Prussian cabi- not ordering immediate introduction of a bill for electoral reforms based on equal franchise. The reiehstag majority decided not to vote war credits until the political I atmosphere cleared. KANSAS IS NOV READY FOR THE DRAFT DRAWING Final Records of Registration Were Completed Today. Governor and General Martin. Report to War Dep't. 6.439 MEN TO BE CALLED One-Eighth of Total Registra tion in V. S. Service. Some Counties Have Already Furnished Quotas. Kansas is ready for the draft. Official announcements that Kansas has completed all details for the war draft were today telegraphed to th federal war department by Governor Capper and Charles I. Martin, briga dier general. When the draft is com pleted, Kansas will have 17,764 men in the government service. j Final records completed touar I showed that the Kansas allotment would provide for the calling of 6. 1439 men to the colors by the conscrip- tion boards. Credit is .given the stats for 11,325 men now subject to call, i These men have enlisted In some hmnnh f the service and are en rolled with regular army or national guard units. r- ifpnorts comuiled today by Col. R. -Neil Kahn. assistant adjutant general; are the first official figures of the mill tary situation in Kansas. Karlier f)K ures were mere estimates. The Rahn report shows that nearly one-einhth f the men in Kansas oi conscripuon .ltrn .;ii h -ntnrPii in Rnrntt branch (f tne government military service tnis f;lu one-eighth of the Kansas registration of 14H.849 men woula furnish 18,608 men from this state. The government will call lJ,t men to the colors. All work connected with completion of the registration records was com pleted today, liesrist ration cards have been numbered and the books for eac'i county closed. As soon as the wc.rk was completed, telegrams were sent to the war department announcing that Kansas is ready to proceed with the draft. Kxemption boards hava been named and this state now awaits the drawing of draft numbers in Washington. Kach ma n registered Is allotted a serial number. When that number is 'drawn from the big wheel, the mtin is subject to call unless relieved frjni service by act of the exemption board or the appeal boarfl. The nurden of watching the registration rests cn th shoulders of the possible conscript. He must read the newspapers and inform himself concerning the drawing. Vien i is number is called, he must respond. Few Counties Have Quota. Under the rules as announced from General Martin's office today, coun ties which have provided their quota of men will not furnish additional men under the draft. A few coun ties are believed to have furnished more than their quota of men under the first call. These men are now registered in regular army or national guard units. Where more than tha quota has come, from a given county, credit for the additional men will be given to the state at large. In a day or two allotments will bo made by counties as to the number of men to be enrolled for service under the draft. The formal work of pre paring for the draft is completed, however, and Kansas is now ready for the government call to colors. UNEASY OVER U. S. Argentina Doesn't Like Embar go Against Xentrals. Kec-all U. S. Protest Against Argentina Wheat Embargo. BY CHARLES P. STEWART. Buenos Aires, July 13. Re I it I on between the United States and Argen tina are cause for considerable un easiness, according to an authoritative source today. Argentina does not understand the export licensing plan promulgated Yl President Wilson. There Is a disposi tion to regard it as an unjustifiable step. Certain elements here have not yet lost the irritation against the United Rtates which they developed at the time Washington joined with London in opposition to Argentina's wheat embargo and practically put up to Hu i there. enos Aires an ultimatum that would be no coal exported to Argentina unless there was some change in the wheat scheme. The Argentina senate was In iee sion today. The United States' em bargo measure was the main topic of discussion. There was some consid eration also as to what attitude Ar gentina would adopt as to American war fleets now in the vicinity of the republic's port.

ONE DAY SERVICE HALL'S KODAK DEPT. 62a Kansas Avenue North Topekans are not particu larly pleased at the manner in which Chief Wilson's motor cycle cops en force the ordinances against speeding. Thursday evening two motor police men were seen by residents on North Quincy street, mounting girls on their machines at the corner of Paramore and Quincy streets, and, apparently without regard to their obvious du ties, start for a spin. The two men were identified by neighbors. What has caused peculiar indignation is the fact that Quincy street between Garfield Park and Quincy school, is a notorious speed way for automobiles. Cars leaving Garfield, "open her up' along the smooth pavement. They offer a pro ductive field, it is asserted, for the activities of motor cops. North Topekans think that they do not have, and never have had proper protection from reckless drivers. On Quincy street, along the Central ave nue road, and on the many excellent outlying thorofares of the city, auto mobilists drive their cars with slight regard for ordinances and regulations. Several .serious accidents have oc curred this spring and summer from the carelessness of autoists on North Topeka and north Shawnee county roads. Phil Billard Leaves. Captain Phil Billard left at 6 o'clock this morning for an Diego, Calif., where he will accept a position as in structor aviator in the government's great flying school there. Billard did not take his military tractor biplane with him. It will be a month before it is condition for use. A. K. Lon gren, the maker, is repairing it, after the recent smashup at Solomon, Kan. In his six years as a pilot Phil Bil lard, who was born and reared in North Topeka, has become one of the proficient birdmen in the United States. Those who have witnessed the work of the most finished among the army pilots, say that his skill in the air not only compares favorably with but greatly surpasses that of most of Uncle Sam's aviators. His spectacu lar stunts have been witnessed by every Topekan. Billard learned to fly in a Longren biplane, one of the earliest, and crud est models. When that machine was smashed, another was built embody ing latest improvements. It was a serviceable craft and is still intact. But it has been superseded by the latest thing in flying construction, the tractor plane in which Billard dips, dives, loops the loop, and raises the hair on the heads of onlookers.

Kiltl Ma.Khal Hin donbur is evidently try-re to stem dissatisfaction at home n Germany by a big showing on The 'russian troops whole Iiritish line are than at any time during- the past year. &iutn of the fecarpe trie ent-my re took a portion of a trench west of Vest wood on infantry Hill. In the Lomhtrazyde section there was great activity. Dlfijjit Since Vnliin. The flermnn artillery no icentration In the vicinity of the sand dunes on the .Belgian coast was the biggest since t'.e i lerman efforts at Verdun. Kxplosives -leveled the sane1 hiils and the Itritish trenches. The light house ait the month of the Yser nnd the life paving station were reduced to ruins. Su miner cot rages were smashed and everything razed before the attack. A m.ing t h attacks were the Ger man ma rines Wil helm's toughest fighters. The Genua ns vere caught under the llritish artillery and ma Chiiit y.u'n barrage and th- attack lo cal ;u-l between Lomharlzyde creek fliul the sea, being checked at the riv( r. To, lay the llritish were shelling the newly occupied Germa.i position aniu :id Lcmbartzyde. In the region of Lens the Germans ocen pied a pi eviously vacant trench from which they unsuccessfully tried to capture British outposts. The enen. y left a number of dead. On Infantry Hill, south of the Fcarpe, the enemy artillery was very active. I'lyers Al o Take Spurt. All over the front German airmen F warmed in the sky desperately try ing to cross th-- British lines. There were innumerable aerial battles in the bright sunshine. All these activities of the German fighting forces suggest to British offi cers lha. Hindenburg has ordered all branches of his army t buck up for t-t'fu-x back home. They recalled Hin.lenburg's recent trip to Berlin and figured that the kaiser, prod:ld by i he growing unrest thru out the central empires and goaded by re verses on the tast and west fronts, had intimated to the field marshal ho had better do something. This belief is borne out by German prisoners. They state dissatisfaction with the present state of affairs, abounds in Germany. j Germany is fighting bard in the j air. The prisoners recently taken de- clare enemv commanders give a large j share of the credit for the sand dunes victorv to the German airman. Large numbers of planes were concentrated for the attack and they were aloft de spite a heavy storm. TO GET ROAD FUNDS t Kansas counties ."wusi rut- tio.s lief ore Next January. I Methods of handling vhe federal aid fund for road construction and the i necessary preparation that each coun- 1 tv must make to pet its petition before tiie state highway commission have been outlined by W i aiarKnam. i secretary of the commission. During-1 the coming year, Kansas will secure j $420.62.0 from the government for; road building:. "Any county which is a part of the federal road system designated by the commission desiring to take advantage of the federal co-operation during th- i coming vear should file its application for aid with the commission at Topeka on or before January 20 next,'" Mr. Markham said. "If any counties are prepared to take up the work at once, t hey should file t heir applications at the earliest possible time. "Counties interested in securing fed eral aid will avoid much confusion,' continued the secretary, "if the will first confer with the highway commis sion concerning the details of proced ure in getting up a petition for thj road benefit district." to his wheat acreage this year by taking down the fences along an un frequented highway and planting wheat up to the edge of the road. This farmer netted more than $500 from land which before was idle. It is estimated that hundreds of acres of additional land could bo brought under cultivation if the farm er made every square foot of ground a producer instead of a slacker. DROVE HUSBAND OFF? Mrs. Churles Helwig Brings Vn usual Suit Against Insurance Co. UTILIZE ALL GROUND j Farmers should Plant Crops as Wo men Sweep lied Kooms. "All good housewives sweep under i the beds. Why shouldn't the farmer cultivate his fence corners?" This is 1 the question which has been brought i to the attention of .J. C. Mohler, sec j retary of the state board of agricul ture, by a number of persons who de I clare that Kansas could greatly in- crease its production of food stuffs if i the farmers would plant as close to I the fence as possible, cultivate the j fence corners and drain the wet spots on the land, making them do their j "bit" in the campaign for greater food I production. j Mohler pointed out that one inci- dent in which a farmer added 10 acres j Mrs. Charles K. Helwig, of 1515 j West Sixteenth street, has filed suit in the district court against the a- tional Industrial Insurance company I and Frank S. Thomas, an officer, for j $15,000 damages, alleging that the in- t su ranee company is responsible for the disappearance of her husband, i Helwig, she says, disappeared July i 12, 1912, and since that time she has been compelled to take in washings to support herself. In her position Mrs. Helwig states that Helwig was general agent for the insurance company, stationed at Kan sas City, Mo., and that for three years the company did business in that state without a license. After find ing that the company was liable to prosecution, she says, its officers ad vised Helwig to leave for parts un known in order to shut off a source o evidence. Helwig, she indicates, followed the alleged advice and she has not seen him since. She asks for a total of $15,000. Frank Thomas, named as a co-defendant, lives at 1110 Tyler street.

C. ;A Breaking campiiign la being ar ranged for the purpose of arousing the patriotism of the people of K-msas. V;t-n did the patriotic feeling of Kan ma reaih a point where it eeded arousing? Did Kansas ever fail to an swer the cal! of Uncle Sam? What rtojs the government want from Kan sas that it is not (jetting? Will the gentlemen who will make this patri otic speaking tour kindly inform the people what offices they want. efore they start? Business as usual la the motto 1 hich has been adopted by the Santa Fe railroad. Its example Is worthy of imitation by all other business con cern in the country. Undeterred by liigh prices the Santa Fe has placed orders amounting to approximately Jl 5,000.000 for additional rolling stock. There is no waiting for lower prices expected after the war. The additional equipment is needed now nnd It has been bought. There nev :r yma greater need for keeping the country's business moving. No op portunity for increasing production should be overlooked but it would be useless to enlarge the output of food and other necessaries if they cannot be conveyed to market. The only thing that can stand inv the way of business at high pressure and result ant prosperity is timidity. The coun try baa the money to finance a much larger activity than now exists. The Roosevelt boys are getting ac tion on their inherited fighting ten dencies, but there seems to be no sat isfactory way by which the colonel can reach the battle lines. The Kaw Valley interurban oper ating between Kansas City and Law lence reports a handsome profit on its line. Topeka 'ould like tc see he road extended tc this city as pro jected. But there is little hope, for any good to the capital city or any ither part of Kansas as long as the public utilities commission can pre vent It. The P. U. C. has proven to It the most expensive and damaging Institution over saddled upon the peo ple of the state. ,'Autocracy no longer is to find a place in the sun. Even in "hina the ifemocratie spirit has so taken posses sion of the people that the attempt 0 restore it to power has failed. Rus sia has taken her i lace permarpjntly, there la every reason to believe, r.mong world democracies. The downfall of the kaiser seems destined to put an end to the whole king busi ness. 'The loss of the fight against beer .ti the U. S. Senate is attributed by the Atlantic Constitution o the fact that it was staged at the wrong season of the year. j, Kuropeans are said to be taking more kindly to corn bread than ever Viefore. The chief difficulty the way of a more general use ofxorn for Truman food is the fact that the bread must be baked at .home. Most house wives prefer to buy their bread al ready baked. If it were possible for the bakers to deliver corn bread, hot and freshly baked, to the homes of their customers, they could do a thriv ing business in his popular aricie of food. It is encouraging to note that there haa been a slump, of apparent per manency, in the loss of shipping from U-boat activities. When flrBt noted '.his was attribute, to the fact that tho German divers were engaged in an effort to intercept Pershing's army. The small number of losses reported for the past week seems to indicate that the Germans 'lave -een given a decided check. -'I .It is not yet too late for some slack vf to invoke the anti-lottery law fh an attempt to escape the draft. ",f If the government plan to go into the business of fixing prices it should proceed carefully. It has tried Its hftnit at fixinc the rjrices which th: 'railroads shall receive and what thejM sl.all pay with almost disastrous re sults to some of the railroads. Eng land has tried regulating the prices 'nf food products. She put a limit on ;he price of milk, and the reiult was "just the opposite from that intended. Vnable to make, a profit on milk at that price, farmers sold their caws tc the butcher and are now slaughtering their hjifei The public cannot al ways be compelled to buy or to sell ut a given price. THE ATI.AXTA FIRE. Immediately following the Atlanta conflagration of May 21, the commit tee on fire prevention of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, dis patched one of its most experienced engineers to the stricken city in order to make a close study of the charac teristics of the fire, the causes to Tvhich it was due. and the lesson which might be deduced from it. His report has Just been published. The report finds that tho Atlanta disaster was essentially a "shingle roof conflagration of the familiar type: it notes that the fire department rendered excellent service, altho some what handicapped by lack of motor apparatus, insufficient reserve supply of hose, and unpaved streets at certain points; it refers to the value of "higli pressures" on the water system, com mends ihe assistance rendered by mil itary organizations, questions the util ity of the dynamiting of buildings, and records the fact that some of the hose sent from near-by cities could not be used thru lack of standardized cou plings.. The report's greatest empha sis, however, is laid upon bad roofing conditions." 1 Tqn years ago, the United States geological survey, after on exhaust ive study, made this statement: The danger of conflagration is pres ent is every city and village cf the United States, and with it the possi bility of large loss of life. The most efficient fire department in the coun try is powerless when once a file gets under considerable headway in a lo cality where bad construction prevails. WOMEN IX WAR. War's certain toll is men. Kngland. under war conditions, has felt the pinch of a shortage of labor in her industrial enterprises, ih. the United States an increasing number of cases might be cited where, men no longer available, women have taken up the burden of maintaining essential pro duction. In a recent issue of TheJ Iron Trade Keview a glimpse was giv en of the situation as it exists in Eng lish munition plants, where women are doing men's work. In this coun try women now are performing a highly necessary task in the manu facture of gages, without which it would be impossible to conduct a war such as the United States has en tered In a New York state plant, fine gages are made for testing high-explosive shells. From the time the raw material enters this factory until it reaches the most delicate and intri cate stages, men perform all the oper ations. The final touch, however, is left to gentler hands. Lapping, a nerve-racking and close ly defined task is done exclusively by women. They have been found to be more accurate, less subject tc ner vousness and more consistent work ers. Hour after hour their attention must be riveted to one small gage. There is an eternal sameness about ivory day's work, There are no new pr blems to be met, no deviatioa from the straight-line process, no belts break to relieve the monotony, a shut down of power provides r.o moment's respite. It is a steady tax on physical and nervous powers that men cannot endure for protracted periods. Due to the war, women have entered the toolmaker's field, long thought to be man's exclusively. There is little doubt that they have come, to star". THE SUBMARINE PROBLEM. 'Senator "William Marconi, Inventor cf the wireless telegraph, who is in America with the Italian mission, says that he haa not been working on any invention to put an end to the subma rine menace and did not know of any cure except continual fighting with every means possible. "It is fortunate for our side," he says, "that Germany has no seaboard like France or Enslana, or Italy In the Mediterranean. If she had, the odds -gainst the allies would be terrible to combat. The submarines are like consumption and as difficult to erad icate. "There Is no doubt that It is very serious at present and probably will be worse late In the year when the night are long and the weather is more favorable for the activities of -he submersibles. Now the nights In Europe are short, which does uot al low the submarine commander more than two or three hours to come up to the surface and refill his accumu lators and do other necessary things which cannot be performed under the rea. "The submarines haye been very active in the Mediterranean, where the Italians are doing their best to check them. The big U-boats coma thru the Straits of Gibraltar and thev smaller ones are constructed in Ger ;nany ar.d sent by rail to Pola, the Austrian naval base, where they are put together and sent to sea. The submarines which come out from Kiel have considerable difficulty in getting back to their bases as the approaches are so well guarded by the British fleet." Meanwhile, other inventors are busy trying to solve the submarine problem. Among the latest Inven tions mentioned is that of a search light operating thru an eye in the hold of the ship on a level with- the submerged U-boat. The ray of light projected thru the water can be fol lowed by an observer in the conning tower. When the light encounters an opaque object it is noted by the ob server, who notifies the ship's gun ners and the guns are at once trained on the spot. This plan still is in the cuuituuu -jv.t,o.

The American air navy will be a navy built to de feat Germany, and it promises to do she job in eighteen months if prop erly supported; but the significance of our vast aeroplane program goes be yond war. The aeroplane stands to day where the steam engine stood a century ago, and we do well to take our place among the nations who study its construction and use on a large scale. I The aeroplane program has been put up to congress in the shape of two bills, one appropriating $639, 000.000 for aeroplanes, engines and training purposes, and the second pro viding for organization and personnel, deavor, or the Young Men's Christian giving the president, the power to association, or the Laymen's Mission raise the necessary men. From 75.000 I ary movement might be considerable to 100,000 men will probably be I needed eventually. The figures look large, but we can not pride ourselves on smashing any records very badly with them. Rather do they represent an attempt to catch up with the procession. France and England have 20.000 aeroplanes in service. The personnel of their com bined fleets exceeds 200,000 men. England's aircraft industry represents an investment of 350,000,000, and Canada has put in $80,000,000 on her own account. For next year, Eng land's air budget calls for the ex penditure of 576,000,000. As for the Central Empires, it is sufficient to point out that while they havi ap parently lost the supremacy of the air on the Western front, they are still able to put up a stubborn de fensive fight for it, and the Allied planes can rarely make a flight over the German lines without being at tacked by aeroplanes in squads. And Germany plans to put- 3.500 addi tional planes on the front next spring. It is this situation which creates the America i opportunity. So evenly matched are the battling powers, that by straining their industrial resources to the utmost, the allies can do no more th n maintain a slight superior ity. They cannot increase their pro duction greatly, and neither can the Teutons. With the great industrial resources of the United States thrown into the allied side of the scale, the forces of democracy can build aero planes at a rate which the enemy can not hope to equal, and that means vic tory. But America must approach her task with an understanding of its magnitude. The great aeroplane output of the belligerents is due to the building up of an industry thru three years of war pressure. Ennland can build 800 aero planes a week, but she has 1.000 fac tories at work on the job, of which, the 60 largest alone employ 66,700 men. Her aeroplane Industry has had three years of Intensive development. Her private contractors have been as sured of orders for years ahead. When the first aeroplane program was submitted to Lord Kitchener it rep resented the most ambitious thing of its kind ever drawn up. "Are you sure that you have everythnig provided for in ample quantity?" asked Kitchener. "Certainly,'" they said. "Then," said Kitchener, "double It." KHchanur realized that doubling the program would build up the aeroplane Industry of England, and this idea is what America must grasp today. The program submitted to congress pro vides for the future in such a way that the aeroplane industry can expand with some confidence. This is neces sary. It is generally hoped that con gress will realize the necessity, and make thj money available quickly. Time is valuable nowadays. Just what can we do in the way of aeroplane building in the next year? This is a question that cannot be an swered today in exact figures." How quickly the industrial resources of the country can be mobilized to this end, how soon the automobile engine mak ers can successfully produce aeroplane engines in quantities, how long it will take to train aviators in large num bers are questions that the future must answer. There are character istics of American industry and Amer ican manhood that lead the authori ties to hope that we will do these things more quickly and efficiently than they have ever been done before, but meanwhile they are calculating conservatively on the basis of Euro pean experience. Experts say that we can be turning out from 3,000 to 4.000 engines a month by next April. The appropria tion bill calls for a total of 42.250 en gines. By the time we have reached the indicated rate of production we will have equalled England's pace, and given the allies an advantage that Germany cannot hope to overcome. Thruout this fall and winter, our rro- duction will of course be steadily in creasing. We will probably be able to I turn out several thousand finished aeroplanes during these months, and at the end or the time our aviators -u i a rate of several hundred or'ahou 2nd la month i.Jhe?Ti5Jl.r-I1 pTbably call for. training field, each with a capacity of seventy-two aeroplanes and 300 student aviators. Besides the aviators themselves, a large number of me chanics and helpers will be needed at each training field. There are already close to 1,400 student fliers in train ing. Officials are confident that the flying game will appeal to Americans so strongly that there will be no lack of first class human material. Ameri cans have proved in Europe that they have no superiors as aviators. As for the' machines called for in the program, the aeroplane manufac turers of this country are confident. They say that we can produce both quantity and quality. Work is al ready going forward on a large num ber of machines. There was avail able, as a residue from previous ap propriations and a part of the last army appropriation bill, some $60, 000,000 for aviation work, aside from the proposed large appropriation. Some weeks Ago it was estimated that American aeroplane manufacturers had on hand the materials for 2,500 machines. The great hope for setting a new record in our construction program lies in bur immense automobile in dustry. We have carried the stand ardized wholesale production of in ternal combustion engines so much farther than it was carried in any European country before the war that j we cannot look to Eu-ope for a pre- i cedent.

What is the power that mostj strongly binds a people, or even na tions, together Other countries frankly express their, amazement at the closer relations how being estab lished between Canada and the United States, and between Great Britian, and the United States. They seem unable to explain the phenomena. Small wonder, for. they look no deeper than the selfish concerns of statecraft, whereas the strongest cord fh this new international tie is religion, just as re ligion is the greatest unifying factor in each of these nations itself. Our new fellowship is on the firmest foun dation. It never occurs to the man who is engrossed in concerns of high politics that such an inconspicuous factor as the International Sunday School Movement, or Christian En forces jn this new state of mind. Such, none the less. Is the case. The law that Hezeklah observed still holds good today. When the old Hebrew king wanted to draw all his people to gether, and even the alienated north ern kingdom also, he sounded the ap peal to a common past in religious life. It was faith in Jehovah, a faich often dim and ignored or deserted, but stili the one common heritage of the people, that made the Jews a na tion. That note was still the deepest and strongest appeal. There are im mense possibilities of human welfare in the truth that the two most pow erful nations In the world are funda mentally Christian. Stirrhis tlic Deep Springs. Petty divisions and local abuses of many sorts tended to separate the Jews of Hezekiah's time into groups and mutually antagonistic communi ties. This was especially true with re spect to the great division between the northern and southern kingdoms. The king might have taken up these one by one, and tried to patch them up. But he knew a better way. He realized that there was a deep, hidden f sentiment in the hearts of all Jews, of loyalty to the God of their fathers. Likewise he understood that neglect of religion was the fundamental fail ure of the time. All religious visions, and most per sonal and national calamities are due to an inadequate loyalty to God. The cure for all the Ills of the church Is simply a deeper devotion to the church's Lord.

Itullyiiig to Jerusalem. Despite all their defects, there was sometning sublime about the Crusades of the Middle Ages. They were a magnificent conception. The rock bottom tact was a concern for the city and tomb Oi the Crucified. Something akin to this medieval passion for the places associated with the earthly life of our Lord has swept across Christen dom since Turkey entered the world struggle. The garrisoning of the City of David by the army which has been hounding the Jews and slaying the Christians has stirred the hearts of the west. As the British troops have moved upward from Suez thru lower Palestine, the interest of people has manifestly quickened. We do care for the city over which Christ wept and where He was crucified. The Holy City is $till the home of sacred memories. In' Jerusalem is still, as in Heze kiuh's time, memory, unity, and in- spiration. I cannot escape the convic- tion, after having traveled all over the tiibie lands and the ancient world, that this strangely persisting city Is to have a new place in the plan of God. The city which He loved is still to be the rallying point of His people every where. In the reunion of Christen dom after war's fever is over there will be a peculiar place for the City of Zion. Hezekiah was observing the divine order when he summoned all Jews up to Jerusalem.

rom north and south came the Jews to the great Passover. They brought orferin;s so lavishly that the torce or priests was maaequaie to handle them: real religion always ex- presses itself in giving. There cannot be a revival of religion in a niggardly church; or if there is, it will be by driving out the spirit of meanness, Christianity costs a man nothing to get. but it costs him his all to keep, CWed purses closed hearts.

Of course reform followed the re vival. Any religious stir in a com munity that does not eventuate in new righteousness may be nut down i Christ has issued orders to all His fol lowers that insure them complete vic tory.

The supreme court today decided another case against Joseph L. Brls tow and the state public utilities com mission when it reversed the ghawnea county district court in the Scammon light case. In a per curiam opinion, the supreme court reversed the lower court and directed judgment for the plaintiff company, the Welsbach Street Lighting company. Suit was brought in the Shawnee county district court by the Welsbach company against the state commls- j sion. The issues involved a street nKnung contract with the city of Scammon and the state commission had sought to interfere in the settle ment of the differences with the city and the liRht company. The commis sion claimed jurisdiction over the American Oas company with which the WeHhach Interests formerly held a contract. In deciding the case today the su preme court stated that the business of the company was subject to settle ment by the city and not by the state commission. Jurisdiction which the commission holds over the American Gas company does not extend to the town of Scammon, the court declared. TO DEAD STANDSTILL

Manufacturers (Established 1857) Factory Branch, 822 Kansas Ave., Topeka. 1 P. WIIITMORK, Mgr. Forty-one and three-tenths miles on one gallon of gasoline! That was the unusual record made near Topeka this morning in a Frank lin touring car carrying three persona, driven by E. B. Kellam. manager of the Franklin agency here. Leaving the city at 5:30 o'cloclc in the machine especially equipped that it was impossible to use more than the gallon, officially measured and tested by Judges, Manager Kellam covered 41.3 miles between this city and Au burn and thence to Valencia. Smooth roads, rough roads, hills, worked roads and every condition of a cross-country drive with the possible exception of mud were encountered. Kellam made the trip in entering the Franklin National Efficiency dem onstration, scheduled for today in all parts of the United States. The test was made under strict rules and regu lations to be handled by the two judges, disinterested parties. The test was arranged for today re gardless of road and weather condi tions. It was made with a standard stock model of Franklin Series 9 tour ing car. Regular stock equipment was carried. There were two observers and the driver. When it is realized that the regu lar motor car, including the heavy and the light machines, averages only about 15 miles on a gallon of gasoline, the feat is all the more remarkable. It can be said with no hesitancy that considerable mileage was due to the excellent driving on the part of E. B. Kellam in taking advantage of every means to save "juice." But it Is a part of the demonstra tion that in these war times it is pos sible to be most economical in fuel it is a part of the efficiency and thrift campaign pushed by the Franklin Automobile company. In these days of unrest and economy it is shown by the Kellam trip today that the cost of operating a motor car can be greatly reduced by careful and "con sistent driving. A speed of about 20 miles an hour was maintained sometimes faster, sometimes slower. The gasoline was measured in a city official measure and was placed in a specially constructed can on the run ning board of the car. It was con nected with the carbureter and the regular connection between the cgr- oureter and the car tanK was removed by the observers. The gasoline tested slightly under 60. Fart of the distance was against the wind. It was a regu lar every day forty mile drive. The observers on the trip were George W. Stansfield and Arthur J.

BOUTONS BOUND OVER ON RURAL BOY'S TESTIMONY Bud Bishop Tells Why He Reg istered as "Bud Fisher." Said He Knew He Wasn't Mutt and Jeff Creator. WAS HERE TO" SEE THE CITY In Hotel With Pretty Girl When Wilson Broke In. Shock Is Said To Have Caused Him To Faint. Bud Bishop, who signed his name on the Sixth Avenue hotel register as "tjud Fisher," just came to town from Emmett to see the city. He said so today when he took the stand and tes tified in the case in which the Boutons are charged with operating the Sixth Avenue hotel as a disorderly house. He denied having any ulterior motives in registering as the creator of Mutt and Jeff and explained it by stating that he made a mistake in writing the first letter of his name. Of course af ter the first letter "Bishop" and "Fish er" are spelled exactly alike. Bishop, typical of the farm boy who comes to town to "see the sights" kept the courtroom in an uproar most of the time with his honest and plain spoken answers to the questions put to him by the attorneys. He is the young man who was caught in the police net when Chief Jim Wilson raided the Sixth Avenue hotel a week ago Saturday night. He admitted it today. He said he and Esther Hulvey were sitting in the room when the world came to an end for him; meaning that Chief Jim Wil son came thru the place where the door should have been with the door in his arms. Bishop did not tell it on the stand but he told courthouse people before the hearing that he "just naturally fainted" when the door fell in. Just Forgot Name. "Why did you sign your name Bud Fisher?" asked Tinkham Veale, on cross examination. "Well," he drawled, "I just made a mistake in the first letter." "You knew your own name, didn't you?" "Yep, but I just forgot." "Do you often forget your name?" "Nope, can't say I ever did before." "You say you had room 20 at the hotel?" asked the attorney. "Nope, 22." "It would have been just as well if you had drawn 23, wouldn't it?" Bishop didn't answer that. "How did you happen to come down here from Emmett?" asked the at torney. "Well, I just came down to see the town. I just took a day off," said Bishop. "You took a day and a night off, didn't you?" "Well, a day and part of a night." Boutons Bound Over. It was after midnight when the raid was made on the Sixth Avenue. In spite of the rambling, it was the testi mony of Bud Bishop, the country lad, that bound the three Boutons, L. C, Archie and Charlie, over to the dis trict court at today's hearing. He stated that he rr -Tittered at the hotel, went to his mum and that a porter approacneo mm. He said the porter asked him for 50 cents and that fifteen minutes after he paid him Esther Hul vey entered his room dressed in pink silk pajamas and a kimono. Then the police broke in. He remembered nothing after that for some time. His testimony was bolstered up to some extent by that of Leo Menden hall. one of the negro porters at the hotel. Mendenhall said he took Bish op to his room but he reversed the conversation thereafter. He declared he did not ask Bishop for the 50 Dress Sale $3.75 Some especially good S5.00 dresses will be $3.75 tomorrow.

Early selections are advised, as we have but few dresses at this spe cial price $3.75 Our White Wash Skirts Si g cents. On the other hand, he said". Bishop gave him the money and told him what to do. Some testimony was put on for the defense but it did not affect the de cision of Judge R. M. Lee. He bound the three Boutons over to the district court under a bond of $500 each. Chief Jim Wilson testified for the state. Ho testified to the raid and to what was found by him and other ofH cers whin they entered the hotel. Girls at Hearing. Esther Hulvey and Edith Carter, the two women caught in connection with the raid, were in the court room. Following their refusal to testify in the case against the Boutons Tuesday, they were arrested on the same charge and they were in court today as defendants. However, the cases against them were set ahead for next Tuesday. W. H. Scott, the jitney driver, who was charged with aiding in the oper ation of a disorderly house, was re leased following the preliminary to day. The state did not have a strong case against him. Douglas Mote rep resented him. Tinkham Veale repre sented the Boutons. Hugh Fisher, assistant county attorney, handled the :ase for the state. EAST AWAKElFWAR Oscar Swayze Tells of Activities in All Cities. Oscar Swayze, former county clerk, has returned from a trip thru the east following attendance at a Woodman convention at Chicago. Mr. Swayze says that there are far more evidences that the country is at war in the east than there are in Kansas. "There are soldiers everywhere, he said today. "You hear war talk and almost nothing else everywhere you go, with the exception of the pleasure resorts. At Atlantic City, for instance, I heard very little talk about war. "All around Washington there are soldiers and guards. It takes a pass to get into most of the public build ings and Senator Curtis told me it -would take at least a day to go thru the routine necessary to get a pass anywhere. I didn't try. "I had a camera with me and after asking me every question he could think of and after I had showed all my credentials from letters to lodge cards, a guard pasted a sticker over the lens and told me to leave it there until I got a given distance from the White House. And there were plenty of other guards to see that I left the sticker there. "On one boat trip in the vicinity of Ellis Island they took our cameras away from us when we boarded the boat and checked them for us. I saw interned German vessels, saw a sub marine at work and saw two battle ships in the course of construction. The towns and cities in the east are busy night and day working on some product for which there is a demand because of the war." Slump In Liberty Bonds. New York, July 13.

THF TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL RTD Y FVENTNG. JULY 13, 1917 STOP FEE GRABS Knapp Checks Trouble Up New State Board. to University Professor lias $183.33 Voucher Held Up. STATE AUDITOR STANDS PAT He Is in Favor of ew Con tract With Professors, Double System "ow Used To Par Full Salaries. Fred V. Knapp, state auditor, to day checked the responsibility for fee grabs at state schools squarely up to tho new state board of administration. Knapp reopened the old fee trouble by using the ax on a double fee sys tem adopted in the interests of a state university professor. In a letter to the state board, Knapp places the re sponsibility for fee grab contracts on the shouiders of the board and urges adoption of revised contracts. Raymond A. Schwejrler. a state uni versity professor, suffered to the amount of 5183.33 when the state auditor trimmed his pay check. HecenUy Schwegler presented a voucher for $183.33 for three weeks' services in visit ins institutes. He also presented a voucher for exactly the feame amount for hi regular monthly salary. The regular monthly pay check was allowed, but the "extras" were cut out. According to informa tion In the state house, Schwepler is exacted to receive $366. 66 a month for his services. Hut the appropria tions were insufficient to meet the salary bills at the institution and a system was adopted which took one half of the money from the fee fund. The professor, however, is carried on the payrolls of the school at $183.33 a month. His "extras" come thru a contract with the former state board of administration. Would Abolish System. In a letter to the new state board Knapp tiwlay urged that the fee grab lunn svstem be abolished at the big state schools and that the contracts with professors, inspectors, lecturers and visitors state in full the purpose of the contract and the amount to be paid. Records produced last winter by Auditor Knapp showed that university professors were allowed extras n. fees collected from cities, school districts, counties and individuals for special services. "While in the employ of the state and apparently giving their full time to the state, the college men col lected extra fees for inspecting sewer, water mains, disease germs, drainage systems and lecturing on such subje ts as might he of local or general in terest. The money collected for in spections and lectures did not benefit th t state treasury, but was paid to the college professor. When Knapp de manded" a revision of the system, it was explained that the college men were expected to work but twive. or fifteen or eighteen hours a week and that such additional time as they might have could be used to promote private business as etate men against whom the greatest com- plaint was made last winter. Hia monthly pay check showed the pre sentation of numerous claims for lec tures. All had been previously al lowed without protest. In his letter tar the state board today Auditor Knapp urges that new contracts be made with all persons who have ben? efited by the fee system. He declares the state should not employ college professors under a salary con tract which permits or invites the man to earn extras at a stock show or poultry judge or as inspector of sew er systems. Knapp's Letter. The Knapp letter to the state board was in part as follows: "I desire to state to your board my position with reference to the allow ance of extra fees and per diems to the salaried employes of the state and to make the same recommendation that I made to the previous board of administration in numerous letters. 1 enclose herewith carbon copy of a let ter which I addressed to Hon. E. T. Hackney, chairman board of adminis tration, on January 24. 1917, calling attention of the board to the extra fee allowance in the University School of Fine Arts and also to the policy of professors from the state educational institutions charging per diems from municipalities, county fair associa tions, stock shows and other kindred organizations for services which they render by reason of their official con nection with the state. I received a letter of date of February 17th from H. L. Butler, dean of the School of Fine Arts, explaining that portion of my letter above referred to which re lated to the School of Fine Arts of Lawrence. Which explanation, how ever, was not in my Judgment a jus tification for the practice and policy. "I assume that your attention was called to some extent to the news paper discussion of this subject dur ing the session of the legislature and in connection therewith, I wish to state that I have received many let ters endorsing my position in this matter. One of these letters was from the president of the Alumni Associa tion of the University, Judge J. C Kuppenthal and many other g -.du-ates from the state schools were not in sympathy with the policy that has been in vogue of paying salaries in return for which the employee is sup posed to give his time to the state and then allowing him extra fees and dup licate salaries under the guise of over time or that the work performed Is outside that lor wmcri ne was em-, ployed. "I have heretofore been approving most of these extra fee vouchers on the represenmtion that the contracts between the board and the individuals was of such a nature that they were entitled to them. I am calling this to your attention, -hoping that your new board will see this matter in a differ ent light and re-adjust these contracts. I am furthermore writing to call your attention to the fact that I shall feel it my duty as auditor of the state, to use my own Judgment in the future in passing upon such claims and shall eliminate such items as I feei it to be my duty to eliminate."

(Furnished by the Topeka Board of Trade.) Chicago, July 13. The Herald says: Sen timent of the grain trade last night was mostly bearish. Some of the operators regarded it aa too much so for the good of the shorts. Any attempt on tbe part of the shorts to cover, it was said might make a sharp npturn in values. The big selling of September outs yes- 1 terday by Mincer openly and through brok- I ers was understood to be short stuff to hedge against long corn. That oats should hold so well in the face of a five cents break in corn was a surprise to tbe local talent, who were bearish and short. Lard and meats are being shipped from Chicago by packers to fill sales made some time ago to the Belgian relief committee. The packers are also said to be cancelling sales made abroad and their contracts for ocean room and selling the produtt to the United States government. TOPEKA MARKET REPORT.

Thp good old family trees of the Smiths and the Joneses have been pretty well repre sented in baseball for a number of years. But neither the Smiths nor the Joneses have ever been able to claim the distinction of having three sprouts from their family trees in the major league spotlight at one time, such as the family Burns claims today. Three major league stars who are in the midst of their baseball careers represent the old Scotch family. They are George J. Burns, Gian. outfielder; Eddie Burns. Fhilly catcher, and George Burns, first baseman, of the Detroit Tigers. Every ona of this trio is a star, and unless the wa: claims one or all of them, or injuries inter fere with their baseball activities the Burns trio will be good for some years to come in the big show. Geo. Burns Greatest. George Burns, of the Giants, has often been rated as the greatest all around outfielder in the National League, and of the threa h is per haps the most valuable player. So far this year his fielding and throwing have been superb, and he is keeping in the race for batting honors. Hughie Jennings recently declared that of all the stars in the Giant constellation Burns stands out as the bi-.rhtest. and this, coming from the famous Tiger manager, is some tribute.

Donald Edwards of Chicago vs. Francis Ouimet, and Kenneth Edwards, ,of Chicago vs. John G. Anderson, of New York, were the pairings in the semi-finals of the Western Uolf championship at Mid lothian Country ciub today. A record breaking match and three closely fought contests marked the third round Tnursday. In the former f aul Burnett of Maywood was defeat ed by Ouimet by the biggest winning margin made in a western champion ship, this being 14 to 24. The two most brilliantly played matches of the day were those in which Kenneth Edwards defeated Jesse Guilford of Boston, 1 up and John G. Anderson of New York elim inated Ned Sawyer of the Bob O'Link club, 1 up. This is the second time in Kenneth Edwards' career that he has qualified for a semi-final round in a champion ship contest. The finish between Anderson and Sawyer for 36 holes attracted unusual attention. $2,800 TO START CLUB 3E Pleasant Surroundings Make Pleasant Dispositions Good Wallpaper will give your home that pleasant surrounding look.

Altho he is seldom ranked as an equal of Hal Chase in the art of cavorting around the initial station, he is a ball player any big league club would be glad to grab and he is only 24 years old. Each year his work with the Detroit club shows marked improve ment, for his fielding becomes more polished and he can hammer the ball around a .280 clip season in and sea son out. Philly Burns steady. "KMdiA Rnrns. second catcher with I the Phillies, is now in his fourth full season as a member of the yuaiter town club, and altho an injury early in the season kept him back, he is considered one of the most valuable players on Pat Moran's team. Eddie is a glutton for work, and if it wasn't for the fact that Moran has a star j in Bill Killifer, Eddie would get all I and perhaps more work than he could handle. The Philly backstop isn t as heavy a sticker as the other two rep resentatives of the Burns family, but he makes up for it in every other way. You've gotta hand the Burns family a little credit. It has helped to do its bit for the gran- ole game. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Cincinnati (at New York) 2 8 1 New York 1 4 Uagan and Clarke; Sehupp and Gibson.

Lewellyn, according to the story told by Mrs. Eula Hames, in whose flat in the Delaware Apart ments the shooting took place, had attempted to kill Mrs. Hames oefore i officers were called.

Here is the re sult: Today we took a stock Franklin touring car, put one gallon of commercial gasoline into a glass bottle, attached the bottle to the carburetor, and under the supervision of Geo. W. Stansfield of Topeka, and Arthur J. Carruth of Topeka, ran that Franklin 41 3-10 miles before the gallon gave out. An affidavit sworn to by these gentle, men substantiates the correctness of this statement. Invaluable Information for the Motorist. The demonstration shows that the design, construction and mate rial of the Franklin are the funda mentals responsible for this effi ciency and thrift record. Only a fine car can perform in such a manner. The result demonstrates that gasoline required to overcome the friction, dead weight and complica tion of the average water-cooled car, goes for mile-covering in the Franklin which is air cooled and free from 177 troublesome and heavy parts. It means that the Franklin a scientifically constructed light weight car rids itself of gasoline consuming wear and tear that cuts the life of a car and leads to unnecessary depreciation. And it emphasizes the fact that efficiency and thrift are not ad vertising and selling terms with the Franklin not "fads" answer ing a timely demand but every day results Franklin owners have been experiencing for 15 years. Franklin Thrift Is Nothing New Franklin gasoline economy is no "news" to the experienced motor ist. We don't mean it as such. This demonstration is just a little reminder that a motor car either has thrift and efficency or it hasn't. If it has, performance alone will prove it. That's why we have never hesitated to put the Franklin to every kind of a proof. The Franklin we demonstrated with yesterday is on our show room floor. We invite you to un derstand why the Franklin stands alone on this question of tested-out thrift and efficiency. P. S. The mileage record above is the result of our in dividual demonstration. Watch tomorrow's paper for the Franklin National Average. E. B. KELLAM DEALER 202 W. 6th Ave. TeL 831 D 1 A Small Ad in the Want Columns of State Journal Brings Large Returns

SlOO $5 Monthly her light so outshines his luster that, to the naked eye, he has practically reached the vanishing point. There is an old saying that "pro pinquity and a smart woman can ac complish wonderful thing3." A story is out around town that tends to prove that adage. They tell a widow story that points the moral. The man in the case is a former Topeka chap, and that gives it local flavor. A certain man who left Topeka to live in a college town in another state, taking with him as his bride a Topeka young woman of very superior qualities and charm, is the subject of the sketch. A few years later he became a widower, and as a man of good position, he nat urally became a mark for the search ers after a meal ticket. He entered a boarding house kept by a woman, nearing middle age, who was twice a widow (by process of taw). Now the world gives it to the widows that thev can hand the beautiful blushing young girls, cards and spade and beat them at the gome. However, this wisdom of experience never seems to descend to baptize the male member of the species. He goes on being an easy mark, no matter how many times he passes thru the matrimonial j mill. Thus it happened that the I widow missed her aim when she se lected a young chap who carried on a j desperate flirtation with her for a 1 1 time, and then disappeared, while the bereft, older man stood pat. He did make it to another town for a few weeks, but he left his new address, which indicates that his move was not in the nature of a flight. If it was. he was overtaken, according to the story. As romances should always have an exciting climax, rumor says that the two have consoled each other in "the holy bonds of matrimony." The T. Y. V. club had a picnic at Gage Park Wednesday night.

x'HE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL vrto AY EVENING. JULY 13, 1917 11 STYLES DOOMED! Abandon Them During War, Appeal to Women. Defense Council Also Decries Rashinsr Into Khaki. BY GFORGFi MARTIX. Washington, July 13. Uncle Sam today aak-d women to abandon "styles" durtns the war. The defense council woman's com mittee launched the appeal; "Wear the clothes you have, so man-power now encased upon femi nine fads and fripperies may be re leased for real war sej-vice at home or abroad. "Buy. at reasonable prices regard less of style. Don't refuse to buy a frown because there's to much or too little material in it. Iet us make use of what we have. Allow the unen lightened men to find fault with you. Io not draw on the labor market to create useless things; it i poor politi cal economy and poor patriotism." Irtriiis44 Sacrifice of style. Insistence of women on "something exclusive" to tickle her vru;ity and arouse envy in the next do neigh bor's house was strongly advised against in the committee's statement. Women rushing into khaki also Wi.s deenrd because ic puts the wom-n in competition with the government for millions of yards needed fur troops." The wisdom of using up present styles and having fewer styles during the remainder of the war to conserve fnun-power will be seen by American Women, the committee believes. Mrs. Joseph Lamar, who issued the state ment, said: "America's women are whole heart -dly devoted to the nation's interests and will make real feminine sacrTfice of style to help L'ncle ?am win the war." that such an accident did not termi nate fatally. Sergt. Edward Foot Hinkle. who 1 has long been absent without leave 1 from France, was today formally list- ed a deserter. He was a resident of Cincinnati. SEND BACK SLACKERS j Mexico Will Not Harbor Draft Dodg f era Treaty Is Planned. I Mexico City, via Galveston, July 13. A treaty to send back to the United States soil all Americans who have crossed the border 'to avoid military I enrollment will be signed by the gov- ernments of Mexico and the United States, it was announced today. The Chamber of Deputies today dis- cussed the raising of mining taxes, i, Sub-Secretary of Finance Nieto ad ."dressed the deputies, urging them to I approve the actual taxes as fixed be- tween Mexican officials and American mine owners at the conference in Philadelphia last November. iSINK TWO FROM U. S. All .Mn!rrs of rms Safely Landed Both Small Vesxelsi. Washington. July 13.

Bowen. nt Fall Kiver, on iJuiy S. j All members of both crews were rescued and landed. The Hildeaard f was a vessel of 5 95 tons and the whtoner, a five master, was of 1,907 tons. CONDEMN EMBARGO Sweden Bitter Against ratted States Cutting Off Exports. Stockholm. July 13. Sweden is vio lently agitated by the American export licensing restrictions. Severe con demnation, of the plan was heard everywhere today. The newspaper Tidninsen led Stockholm newspapers In. a bitter at tack on the United States, character izing the embargo plan as "an attempt to force Sweden into the war in the profaned name of democracy." The whole Swedish people," the editorial concluded, "are united in commercial and political neutrality. They do not want war except in de fense of their soil against foreign ag gressors." PLAN FOR PENSIONS C. S. V.'lll Probably Pay Weekly Sums To Dependents of Fallen Soldiers. Washington. July 13. Uncle Sam's comprehensive war pension-insurance and relief plans will be ready for sub mission to Secretary McAdoo very soon. Almost every war organization hre has dabbled in war insurance, relief and pensions. Secretary McAdo s activities are the only official moves along- that line. The work has bee'n co-ordinated under the direction of McAdoo's offi cial report. Assistant Secretary Rowe and legislation alonsr the line of his recommendations will be drafted. While nothing- definite has been de termined, it was held likely that de pendents f men fallen in action will be paid an annuity, possibly in the form of interest on an original in- k vestment by the government. f Government to Control Relief. t It is practically certain the govern-If ment will directly control practically f all war pensions, relief ana insur-1 a nee. t Assignment of half an enlisted r man's cay. which in Canada amounts I to $15 a month, is one feature of the Canadian system Uncle Sam may adopt. A stipulated amount probably will be paid each department by the gov ernment weekly. This probably vfl! r oe naseo on a graduated scaje, so much for a wife, so much for each child and so much for each other de pendent. STOPPED ELOPEMENT Sar Fe Man and Another's Wife Caught on Way to Xrw Mexico. Oscar Carlson, deputy sheriff, is on his way back to Topeka from New ton with Toy King and Sirs. William Rupp, an efrfpement having been pre maturely ended at Newton, Thursday afternoon by Hugh Larianer, sheriff. King, an employe of the Santa Fe telegraph department, was arrested t Newton following telephone orders from Sheriff Larimer, on the charge of white slavery. The issuance of the warrant charg ing white slavery followed the appear ance of William Rupp at the sheriffs office late Thursday afternoon. He alleged that when he returned to To peka from Kansas City where he has been working, he found Toy King and Mrs. Rupp in a room at 817 Monroe.) street, found whisky bottles in ttiJ j room and the two people partially under the influence of liquor. Kupp told the officers that a fight followed in which he gave Kina a thoro beating, but that afterwards he and his wife mad up temporarily and went to the circus together Wednes day evenirg. Returning to town lira. Rupp requested that she be permitted to spend the night at "ler room be cause all of her clothing was there. Rupp stayed somewhere elst? and when he went to his wife's room Thursday she was gone. Later, he saia ne learned that King- and Mrs. Rupp had left on a Santa Fe train. At the Santa. Fe general offices he learned that a pass had been iss ie-1 to "Toy King and Wife" to Clovis, New Mexico, and that King, had been transferred to that point. A warrant was issued soon after Rupp told his story and within an hour J. N. Smith, sheriff of Hawev county, had arrested the couple at Newton. Deputy Carlson went after them Thursday, night. Mrs. Rutio it only 21 years of age and her husband says she is a pretty blonde. He blames King entirely. "FIRE" PACIFIST PROF. Cniversity of Texas Instructor PartM- 1 pated in Chicago 7 "meting.

Dawson, J. 1. Where a telegraphic message is dic tated over a telephone and is thus receiv ed by a telegraph company for transmis sion it win not oe presumed that any preferential or discriminatory service iu violation of law is Intended, and the mes sage .vill be considered as if it were writ ten on the ordinary blank forms furnished by the telegraph company, aud the com pany's liability for an error In transmission is neither greater nor less nor different than if the message were delivered in the usual and more formal mode of sending telegrams. 2. In conducting its intrastate business a telegraph company may make reasonable stipulations limiting its liability, but In the absence of positive or permissive stat utes governing the subject, the reason ableness of any such stipulation la a ques tion for judicial determination. 3. A stipnlation limiting a telegraph company's liability In damages for an er ror in transmission of a telegram to a mere return of the rate exacted for send ing it is unreasonable. 4. Where a telegram is partly in code but bears enough plain English on its face to apprise the telegraph company that it is a business message, and the company's manager in charge where the telegram was received knew it wus a business message although he did not know its details, the company was charged with sufficient no tice of Its Importance and with notice that failure to tmnsinlr the m ft cnrroni. ly would probably lead to consequential I aa mages anu me teiegrapn company is lia ble therefor. 5.

Laws of 1909, limiting indebtedness in counties to one per cent of the taxable property of the county is to be construed together with Chapter 64, Laws of 1909. relating to pub lic bridges In certain counties, and so con strued, it is held that certain bonds issued by Wyandotte county in payment of the cost of raising, lengthening and recon structing bridges over the Kansas river to meet the requirements of the war de- Rartment of the United States and of the .aw Valley Drainage Board, are not to be counted In ascertaining the limit of In debtedness which the county mav lawfully incur.

An addition to a city of the second class wa s pla tted into pa reel s that were 1295 feet long and 409.5 feet wide, the ends of which abutted upon a street that was about to be paved. The assessment for the f lavement was extended by the city author ties to the center of the tract abutting on the street. In a controversv as to the validity of the assessment it is held thst the addition must be regarded as platted land and as the tract in question in the addition Is surronnded by street It Is held that It constitutes a block within the meaning of the statute relating to assess ments although It is much larger than other blocks within the city and therefore the extension of the assessment to the BUD FISHER center of the block is adjudged to be valid.

Under a statute providing that the cost of a local improvement shall be dis tributed among the pieces of property ben efited thereby in proportion to their ap- raised value, the fact that the body mak ng such appraisement adapts figures which produce the same net result as a prior assessment which was invalid be cause erroneously made upon the basis of frontage and location, is not conclusive evidence of a wunt of irood faith in the application of the statutory method. 2. In an action to enjoin special as sessments as excessive, evidence of irreg ularities in the prior proceedings held to have been properly excluded because not within the pleadings. 3. A property owner is not entitled to an injunction against a special assessment for local improvements because warrants have been issued to the contractor instead of bonds, as contemplated by the statute, where the amount or time of payment of the tax is not thereby affected.

Chaplain, Appellant.;' Appeal from Cloud County. -----AFFIRMED. 1 Syllabus. By the Court. Dawson, J. 1. When the courts of a state for many years have given their own interpretation to a statute copied from the laws of an other state. It is of no Importance that such interpretation does not harmonize with the Interpretation given to thaf statute in the state from which it was adopted. 2. Section 136 of the Crimes Act. (Gen. Stat. 1915, 3463) which declares that any carrier or other bailee who embezzles prop erty, etc., In his possession shall be guilty of larceny, is intended not only to cover offenses of carriers and bailees of the na ture and' class of carriers but is intended also to cover embezzling offenses of any class of bailees, and it covers the offense of a bailee who embezzles a piano left n his custodv by its owner. J 3. Where a penal statute declares that one who commits embezzlement shall be adjudged guilty of larceny, a charge of embezzlement which also includes an alle tration that the defendant "did steal, take and carry away" the article embezzled is not bad for duplicity. 4. A miscellaneous assignment of minor errors noticed in the opLiiou which needs no discussion. 5. It is not prejudicial error to exclude evidence tending to show that the prose cuting witness and the defendant in a crim inal case had conducted negotiations look ing toward a satisfaction of the private wrong committed by the defendant against the witness, in consideration for which the witness was to withdraw the charge of the public offense involved in the same wrong. 6. Instructions given and refused exam ined and no errors disclosed therein. 7 ftnie followed that the be kited presen tation of impeaching testimony is not suf ficient to compel the grautiug of a new .trial. W. Rule followed that the trial conrt must be satisfied with defendant s diligence in preparing his defense before he will be entitled to a new trial on account of evi dence which was not on hand at the trial.

Appeal from Bot.rbon County. AFFIRMED. Syllabus. By the Court. Dawson, J. Plaintiff was the purchaser of a railway ticket and was waiting on a railway plat form for his train due in half an hour. He was injured by a trunk which fell from the top of a baggage wagon while the wagon was turning from the public street, across a drain at the street side, into the railway company's private driveway along side Its platform. Plaintiff sued the rail way compauy chargius JMgliffttwse 4 ttant It knew that trunks had fallen iu like manner theretofore and that it had failed to erect some protective barricade against such falling trunks, and failed to warn the plaintiff that trunks were liable to fall from baggage wagous upon that comer of the platform. The owner and driver of the baggage wagon was not in the service of the railway company.
