President New comb Carlton of the "Western Union today declared he hoped the telegraph ers' union would call a strike on all Western Union lines, as threatened. "I hope Konenkamp does call a strike," Carlton said. "That will gi.e us a chance to rid the service of un desirable employes. It will eliminate for all time those who do not have the Interests of the company at heart and seek to embarrass its service." Bclittk-s the Strike. Carlton added that the southeastern strike situation remained unchanged and that ali offices were operating un interruptedly in the strike district. The service was "up to the minute," he stated. Only 710 out of 40,000 em ployes eligible to union membership have joined, Cailton said. Their strik ing would in no way impair the serv ice, he asserted. Washington, June 7. Threatening a nation-wide strike of Western Union telegraphers, S. J. Konenkamp, presi dent of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America, started for Chicago early today for a conference with of ficials of the organization. Following this conference, he said, he would issue a call for the strike. An order for Postal operators to leave their kevs. he said, would probably come later. Erf ore June 16. The date of the strike had not been determined bv Konenkamp before he left for Chicago, but he said it "will be before June 16," which was the date set for the nation-wide walkout of electrical workers. The strike situation In the south eastern states was confused today by many conflicting reports. Union of ficials in the south declared the West ern Union is accepting business only subject to delay, and Konenkamp de clared the "fight in the south already is won." On the other hand. Western Union officials stated that business is pro ceeding as usual and that compara tively few telegraphers are out in the goutl. west. Little Concern Expressed. Government officials here expressed no great "concern over the threat of a nation-wide telegraphers walkout, pointing to the reported statement of the secretary of the electrical workers' union in Springfield. 111., that Post master General Burleson's order Re turning control of operation of the wires to their owners would probably make a nation-wide walkout June 16 unnecessary because locals in many cases would be able to settle their dif ficulties with local managers. Telegraphers union heads, however, declared the wires of the country will be completely tied up when the gen eral strike is ordered, that the elec trical workers and probably other unions will act in sympathy and that they will tight the situation thru until they have won their case. It is understood President Wilson Is in touch with the cts. Rescind Strike Orders. Atlanta, June 7. Orders cf Ming out the union telephone operators at Col umbia, and other points in North and South Carolina at 10 o'clock today in connrction with the strike of telephone and telegraph workers in Atlanta and elsewhere iu the southeast have been rescinded, according to an announce ment this morning by Chief Mann, Southern organizer for the Commer cial Telegraphers' union of America. "BIG STRIKE IS OFF" Burleson's Order Eliminates Need for Walkout, Says Union Leader. Springfield, III., June 7. In com menting upon Burleson's order re turning telephone and telegraph wires to their owners. Charles P. Ford, sec retary of the International Brother hood of Electrical Workers, asserted that there is "no need for a strike now." 'There may be some few local strikes," Ford said, "but the big strike Is off. At least fifteen locals would have to come to satisfactory agree ments with the companies a month ago but Burleson had their hands tied. They couldn't act. Now the com panies are free." TO STRIKE Ion COAST Threaten Wire TIcup in West Unless Demands Met. Pan Francisco. June 7. A strike of Commercial Telegraphers thruout Pa cific coast states is to be called June 11 unless demands made upon em ployers are complied with. according to n messace received early today by Patrick O'Conner, president of the lo cal organization of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America. The telecram was sinned by L. I. Marshall of Los Angeles, first vice president of the organization. It read in part: "Tills nniiniincpnicnt embraces the West ern I nlnn.

We hare been unable to reach a satisfactory agreement with Postmaster t;encral Ilurleson. Among other things, we desire higher wages." .When Two Persons Engage In j Combat Both Must Pay. other Decisions Handed Down hj the Court Today. The Kansas supreme court today upheld the constitutionality of the law establishing ths state industrial farm for women, which has been lo cated in connection with the state penitentiary at Lansing. In the appeal of Mrs. L. O. Heit man from Shawnee county, the court held that the fact that a man con victed of the same offense might be sent to a different place of confine ment did not make void the law es tablishing the dstention farm foi women. Mrs. Heitman was convicted of selling liquor. She was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and serve an indeterminate term at ths detention J farm. The plea was made tha' if Mrs. Heitman had been a man and the same circumstances applied the i sentence would have been to the j county jail. Therefore it was assert ed she had been denied equal protec tion under the law. The court held that the contention was without rea' value and that it was perfectly proper to send a man to jail and a woman to the farm. Must I'ay for Fights. In Kansas when two persons en gage in a mutual combat, each may recover from the other all damages caused by injury received from the other in tl e light, according to a de cision of the supreme court, handed down today. Jane McCullough brought suit against Margaret M. Goodrich in I Sherman county for injuries received in a scrap. The lower court and the supreme court both ruled that both contestants could collect damages for injuries received when both went into the tight by mutual consent. It ap parently makes no difference who was worsted in the fight. Jane McCulloch is a physician at Goodland. Margaret Goodrich went to her office on a business errand. Ac cording to the court records Margaret M. Goodrich became abusive and Doc tor McCulloch requested her to leave the office. The two women became involved in a fight in which .Doctor McCulloch was Injured by being struck with an umbrella in the hands of Margaret Goodrich. "Each party is liable for her own wrong doings," says the court. "The defendant assumes that the plaintiff (Doctor McCulloch) was the aggres sor and argues that Doctor McCul loch cannot complain if she came out second best in the fight. The as sumption omits the possibility that the defendant (Margaret M. Good rich) consented to the fight and will ingly engaged in it. If she did so consent and did so engage in it, she is liable for the injuries inflicted by her on her opponent." To Prison for Operation. The conviction for manslaughter in the first degree of B. J. Patterson and J. A. Gregoire In Pratt county for the death of Floris Lewis was upheld by the supreme court today. The woman died following a criminal operation by the defendants. I'phold High .School Law. The supreme court todav upheld amendments to the rural high school law as enacted by the 1917 legislature. In affirming a decision from the Reno county district court, the supreme court today held that new provisions in the act were valid and that an at tempt to disorganize a rural high school district at Turon could not be 1 maintained. Kvidence showed that the state on relation or tn? county attorney of Reno county sought to enjoin the col lection of taxes levied for the rural high school at Turon. This school was organized under provisions of the 1917 act. Validity of the law was at tacked in the suit. The trial court held that the act was valid and that when the petition for disorganization was presented the statutory time for action had passed. Provisions of the chapter touching disorganization of a district formed before passage of the act, were held by the court not to ap ply. In the Reno county case It was shown that certain common school grades were taught. Rural high scnooi iunas were enjoined for this use. Aside from this issue the courts held for the school district and divided I costs between contesting parties. j Husband Must Pay Vp. I When a divorced bnshnnd falls to pay J tCnntlniteH Pi.epo.

Today is a big day in Topeka for the Boy Scouts and the next two weeks will be busy ones. Tomorrow the na tional campaign to enlist one million associate members in the Boy Scout organization begins. At 1:45 o'clock this afternoon the scout band and members of the Boy Scouts in the city met J. H. Fazel, the local scout executive, at the car barns, where they boarded three cars fur nished gratis by the railway company and rode over the city.

Crosby's store; equipment will be exhibited at Fullerton's; and Scoutmaster Otis Cummings will give an exhibition of wall scaling at Eighth and Kansas ave nues.

Associate members are men who can become scoutmasters. There has been a dearth of scoutmasters within the last few years and it is the object of the campaign to enlist one million associate members; to bring to the at tention of each community the vital facts with reference to boyhood days; to interest churches, schools and oth er organizations which have a contact with boyhood; to give to men, espec ially returning soldiers and sailors qualified to act as scout leaders, an opportunity to furthem serve their country by enlisting; and to definitely recognize nationally the value of the Boy Scout movement and especially their achievements during the war. There are 10,000,000 boys in America between the ages of 12 and 21 who are eligible to membership, but there are only about 4,000,000 in the organiza tion. The million associate members en listed must be men who believe In the Boy Scout programs and are willing to have it extended to other boys by paying $1 or more for membership. Each city will have a definite quota to raise on the same basis as the liberty loan. Scout week was designated by proclamation of President Wilson, who declared that "every nation de pends for its future upon the proper training and development of its youth. The American boy must have the best training and discipline our great de mocracy can provide, if America is to maintain her ideals, her standards and her influence in the world."

Charles Elliott was appointed for Shawne ecounty and it is expected that thte county attor neys of the remaining counties will be asked to take charge of the work.

This belief was strengthened by dispatches lrora Paris today saying the American peace delegation ap parently is firm in its decision not to fautfiorize publication of the treaty tuntil it is signed. J Acting Secretary of State Polk 10 day cabled President Wilson the sen late resolution. Officials also believe President Wil Ison cannot release the treaty without it he consent of the French and British leaders. Both the French chamber tot deputies and the British house of commons, it is stated, are as anxious to get the treaty as the American sen Jate is. That Lloyd George or Clemen Sceau will consent to publication. of the treaty is doubted'. Paris, June -The American dele- n r 1 v is firm in its ri pulsion not to authorize the publication of the Ger iman peace treaty until it is signed rand not even to communicate the of ficial tfxt ir its present form to the United States senate. Paris. June 7. The document which Senator Iodse reports having een in New York is not the one that Twill ro down in history as the Treaty JJof Paris, is the reply of those close to President Wilson to the senator's jcharpos that the full text of the Ger Jman treaty is in the hands of certain American private interests, t n other words, the treaty in its present form will not be presented to 4he Germans for sisnature. It is bound to undergo considerable revi sion. Was Too Uncertain., All thru the winter months the president is said to have battled. with Premier Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau in an effort to draw up terms to which it was possible for Germany lo subscribe, or which could 'be enforced by the allies. The fight reached its climax in March. It is now 'possible to state that the conditions originally proposed by the British aid French underwent drastic modifica tion in that month, but even after re 'modeling the treaty -was so severe ithat the British and even some of the French delegates now agree it is 1m j)oHibIe to carry them out.

Nevertheless, the entire American delegation 1s not in sympathy with withholding the full text of the treaty, inasmuch s notographle copies are on sale In three languages in Ger many, Switzerland, Holland and Scan dinavia. Attacks such as that rnade by Senator Lodge are not regarded as surprising by some of the Ameri can delegates, who say there Is no reason why the treaty should not be Fiven out and that such attacks are embarrassing. It is pointed out that while the big four might have had numerous reasons for withholding the text, it has now been so widely pub lished beyond thier control that it is useless to keep it from the American public. Prone May Be Delayed. Washington, June T. Difficulty In getting witnesses may interfere With the 'treaty leak" investigation ordered by the senate. Unless Senators Borah ad Lodge. upon whose 'statements the inquiry is based, will tell the investigating com mittee the names of New York men who can substantiate their charges., the probers will have to turn to the American peace delegation in Paris for clue, it was nirlted today. Lodge already haSsfinnounced he will not tell who showed him copies of the treaty text in New York. Borah has not told what financial interests he meant when he said he had been informed over the long distance tele phone that certain New York inter ests had the treaty and had considered it at a directors' meeting. Neither Lodge nor Borah can be forced to testify before a senate inves tigating committee it was pointed out today, as under the constitution no senator "shall be called in question in any other place," for any statement made on the senate iioor. At the meeting of the foreign rela tions committee Monday when plans are to be laid for the investigation, the means of getting witnesses who can throw light on the way the treaty got into New Yorkers' hands will be discussed. Start It in Paris? 1 waa ntitrtreeteri trulnv thnt thp in quiry ought to be started by cabling to Paris to seek the sou see of the leak. iSenators on the foreign rela tions committee will suggest Monday, they said, that the" committee learn, who -among the American peace mis-j sion .was responsible for looking after treaty copies. If the inquiry is be gun from that- end. it was intimated, time might be saved in determining the only question not answered: How did the treaty get here and who has it? Senator Lodge said today he has no plans for the inquiry, and will not make any. Senator Hitchcock, author of the investigation resolution, said his in terest lies solely in getting at the facts for the purpose of showing that "monstrous implications against Pres ident Wilson made not for the public good but for some other purpose shall be shown to be false, as they are false."

He was released on $10,000 bond, pending trial. Woman Exonerated Him. Mrs. Hofland, who claims to be the common law, wife of Welton, after her arrest for the killing of Mrs. Pearl' Welton last January, exonerated Wei- ton- of all connection with the crime. She maintained she choked the woman to death, when Mrs. Welton i became enraged at the declaration of Mrs. Hofland that she and Welton had lived together on a farm In Ne- j braska for thirteen years jnder a common law marriage contract, and that Welton deserted her three years ago. The request for the grand Jury was made' by citizens of Terisita who doubted that Mrs. Hofland was alone in committing the crime. Welton has maintained that he was away from home when his wife was killed. He claims Mrs. Hofland summoned him from the timber to a cistern near the house where he found his baby alive on the surface of the water and his wife dead in the cistern. According to Mrs. Hofland, she had been at the v.eiton nome two days posing as Wel ton's suggestion, as his sister. Also Charged With Bigamy. According to her story, she choked Mrs. Welton to death in self defense and dragged the body to the cistern to make it appear that she had commit ted suicide. At her trial Mrs. Hofland reiterated that Welton was innocent of any con nection with the killing of his wife. Welton, himself, was a witness for the state. Besides the murder charge Welton is under bond on a charge of bigamy preferred by the father of the slain woman. LOST LIVES IN STORM California Scientist Believed Drowned Off Coast May 15. San Diego.

Record Wheat Crop Makes State Talk of World. MANY INTERESTED IN DETAILS C. L. Seagraves pf Santa Fe Gets Sumber of Inquiries. Booklet Giving Agricultural Facts Being Gotten Out. Kansas is the best advertised state in the Union on account of its record breaking wheat crop, according to Charles L. Seagraves,, supervisor of agriculture of the Santa Fe railroad. who is in Topeka today. "The newspapers aU over America have printed stories about tne Kansas wheat yield, referring to it as a fourth of all the wheat produced in the United States," Seagraves said; ''As a result of this publicity, the homeseek era' bureau, which is made up of the agricultural representatives of the railroads under federal control, has received a' large number of inquiries about wheat farming opportunixies in Kansas. In fact there have been so many inquiries that the railroad ad ministration found it necessary to publish an illustrated booklet on Kan sas as a leading agricultural state. The booklet Is in the hands of the printer. Contains Much Information. The information collected for it has to do with Kansas production, trans portation facilities, markets, land values, schools, churches, roads, living conditions, etc., with a special chapter on wheat raising. The booklet will go to all homeseekers, and I believe it will give Kansas one of the best boosts it ever had." .1 The homeseekers' bureau has re ceived approximately 18,000 inquiries about farm opportunities in the sev eral states, and as a result of data furnished a strong homeseeker move ment has started toward the parts of the country having undevelo: ad re sources. Inquiries about Kansas are handled by a committee of agricul tural representatives operating in this state, of which Seagraves is chairman. Seagraves, who is making a tour of the Santa Fe lines, stopped here for a conference with W. J. Curtis, agricul tural agent, about the finishing loucnes or ine K..nsas booklet.

The Rhenish re public movement has made no head way in the American area of occupa tion, notwithstanding reports to the contrary, according to Third army headquarters. The American authori ties are continuing to maintain an at titude of opposition to political moves of any kind which would be contrary to the regulations of the army of oc cupation. The British officers in their area are said to have taken a similar stand. French officers in Coblenz have stated that the idea of launching a re public just at this time originated in Mayence -and Wiesbaden and that the French regarded the movement with favor and it bas developed that ef forts were made to secure American co-operation for the movement.

THE TOPEKA DMLY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1919 S IT WAS MANSION 'ow Topeka's First Two-Story Residence Is Debris Pile. It Was Built by Judge Archi bald Williams. GIVES WAY TO NEW APARTMENT It Was Built When Jackson Was Bon-Tou Street. Mrs. J. F. Jarrell, Builder's Granddaughter, Bora in It. One of the most fashionable resi dences of the early days of Topeka is now a pile of ancient lumljer on the site of a proposed apartment house. In 18 59. while Kansas was still a ter ritory. Judge Archibald Williams, an Illinois lawyer, mlcrated from Qulncy, 111., to Topeka. and opened a law of fice here. He was one of the first at torneys of Kansas. At the time Judne Williams came here, the best residence section of the city was on Jackson street, north of Kifth street. He purchased some lots on the west side of Jackson, between Fourth and Kifth streets, and built a nine-room, two story house, one of the first residences in Topeka of more than one story. It was regarded at the time in somewhat the same man ner that Charles M. Schwabs palatial home is looked upon in New York City. Was First District Judge. Two years after he had come to To peka. Judse Williams was appointed I'nited States district judge for Kan sas. That was in 1861. when the state was admitted to the Union. He was the first man to sit on that bench, the one now occupied by Judge John H. Pollock. The appointment was made by President Lincoln. In 1863. Judge Williams resigned and returned to Quincy. He gave his Jackson street home to his son. Archi bald L. Williams, who subsequently became attorney general of Kansas and general attorney of the Union Pa cific railroad. "Archie" Williams lived there for several years, and in this house five of his six children were born, among them Mrs. J. F. Jarrell. Later Williams built a home at Twelfth and Fillmore streets, and sold his Jackson street property, which has been in numerous hands during the past forty years. About twelve years ago the old resi dence was moved to a lot on West Tenth street, between Tyler and Polk streets. Recently the Delodes apart "ment was constructed next door by A. Samuel, and he has started to build another apartment house on the sit3 of the old Williams house. So the residence, one of the landmarks of the territorial days of Topeka. was razed, and is now only a pile of lum ber, rapidly, being carried away. It marks the passing of one of the most famous houses in Topeka in the fifties, sixties and seventies, and It la especially symbolic of the modern times that a modern J40.000 apart ment house should take Its place.

The conference is being; held in an attempt to adjust the financial troubles of the Kansas State bank of Salina. Broeker, who has been In New York since the doors of the Salina institu tion were closed, is said to have ar rived in Kansas City today in an ef fort to make good bad paper now in the hands of Col Fred Fitzpatrick, re I ceiver. Several days pro a move was made to secure Broeker s arrest. H was stated today that the former Sa lina and Topeka man had not been arrested and that no complaint had been issued against him. Guilbert In Kansas City. President Guilbert of the Salina bank is said to be with Broeker in today's conference.

Decker Asking New Trial Against Frank P. MacXcnnan Arguments were heard today by Judge Robert T. Garver in a motion for a new trial in the $20,000 libel suit brought against Frank P. Mac Lennan, publisher of the Topeka State Journal, by L. K. Decker, a barber. Joseph Waters and J. E. Addington appeared in behalf of Decker and E. D. McKeever argued for MacLennan. Attorneys for Decker claimed pas sion and prejudice had influenced the jury in its verdict in favor of the To peka publisher. Articles appearing in the State Journal during progress of the trial were pointed to by Decker's attorneys as means used to arouse the passion and prejudice against the jury. McKeever defended the publication of these articles as effective means used by Mr. MacLennan to defend himself against insidious propaganda against the publisher circulated by certain allegedlabor leaders for the purpose of arousing passion and prejudice in the minds of the jury. Judge Garver took the motion under advisement. ft r- c r Open until W&4fWlnti 9 o'clock -on sale after 7 No 'phone or mail orders for the following, please On the Main Floor 23c Poud's Cold or Vanishing Cream after 7 o'clock 17 50c Vclcote Imported Face Powder thia evening 19S SOc Perfumes; White Rose or Locust Blossom oi 29 Women's 15c lo 23o Handkerchiefs with embroidered corners. $12.50 Silk Moire Bags; just six to ciose out thW evening at. -5.0O 2c Wire Hair Pins; sixteen to package for 1 Coat's Cotton Thread; all sizes in white and black per spool. 4 On the 3rd Floor Waists $1.98 A exeat variety of Waists of Jap Silks, Crepe de Chines, f:na Voiles and Organdies a special lot of regular $3.48, $2.98 and $3.98 Waists on sale after QQ 7 o'clock this evening.. 1.0 -On the 15c Lux Soap Makes this evening S packages for 25 55c Combination; a bottle of Lyknu furniture Polish and a can of Waxlte this evening for 40 Old Dutch Cleanser on sale this evening .5 cans for 27 r.iiuinfi s-rcsTving netuca, 50c so. 2 solid Iron Frying Pans this evening for $1.00 Xo. 8 Iron Skillets this evening for 12c Toilet Paper: 1000-sheet rolls of fine Valcour ttssue BOYS' SUMMER WASH HATS; slightly soiled and crushed regular 50c ones priced to close tnis even- 10c ing BOYS' SHIRTS of plain blue chambray and light striped per cales; sizes 12 H to 14 neck regular 69c ones on sale In the Basement this even- f ing JSC CALICO in light and dark blues, grays and reds and in light shirt ing patterns the 19o quality on sale In the Basement s f this evening, per yard A J C Pelletler's Bargain Basement- Yes, that new home may cost a little more Today But what about the pleasure you'll get out of owning and living In It.

MAY GET FARMS Government Plans To Furnish Soldiers Land. Booklets Describing Flan Are Being Distributed. USE WASTE, IDLE TRACTS Soldiers Will Be Paid To JIake Them Valuable. Stock and Improvement Funds To Be Furnished. t Thousands of booklets bearing blank cards to be returned by those who would like to take up the propo sition are being distributed to honor ably discharged soldiers, sailors and rnarines by the department of the in terior regarding the proposed recla mation project. It is the desire of the government to learn approximately, before voting the proposed $100,000, 000, how many men would like to en gage in the plan. It is the design of the government to reclaim waste land in every stte in the Union and distribute it as farms among honorably discharged soldiers and sailors. The manpower in this undertaking will come from the soldiers and sailors themselves, who will be paid wages equally v as high as eould be made insirjfilar lines of work elsewhere while building dams and canals, cleringthe cut-over land of stumps, building ditches to drain the swamp land, erecting houses and barns, building fences, construct ing roads, laying out townsites, build ing creameries, canneries, warehouses, schools and-other work in connection with the enterprise. All kinds of workmen will be needed, from the highest trained clerks and men of technical experlnce to common la borers. May Tick Ovn Farms. After this work has been done, the government will allow the men to pick out their farms, which will vary in siy.e according to the location and the purposes to which they w,lU be put. The farms for general farming will consist of from 40 to 60 acres each; for stock raising, from 80 to 160 acres; for fruit raising, from 15 to 20 acres and for truck gardening, from five to 20 acres. The farms will not be gfvPn to the men, but it will be so arranged that they may be paid for in small pay ments over a long term of years with interest charges at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. The man with no CHpital, it is pointed out, should be ahle to save the amount of the first payment out of his wages while work ing for the government helping to build the settlements, while the bal ance could be raised from the sale of crops. Whether every soldier, sailor and marine who applies can obtain land will depend on the amount of land reclaimed. There are large areas of this land. There is dry land in the west that needs water, which can be provided by building dams and canals. In the east are large areas of cut over, or logged-off timber land, from which It wilt be necessary to blow the stumps and clear off the under brush. In" the south is a large amount of cut-over and swamp land which must be drained. The proposed set tlements will be scattered thruout the country and it Is planned to have one In every state. This will furnish many men an opportunity to tget a job near home. Furnish Stock To Men. The government will furnish neces sary stock and farm implements, to be paid for over a period of several years. It Is the plan, if congress passes the bill now pending, to build community settlements, each contain ing not less than 100 farm homes sur rounding a town, so that- the new farmers will have neighbors, good roads and a market for the sale of their produce. Competent instructors in farm practice will be stationed over each project to teach men ignorant of farming how to make a success of it. The booklets explaining the prop osition can be obtained from the fed eral land office on the second floor of the federal building here. Bv fill ing out and mailing the attached card t to the department of the interior, the applicant can obtain further details, beside letting the government know his attitude toward the proposition, on which may depend the voting of the $100,000,000 appropriation. The name will be placed on file and the applicant notified If the plan is started, hut it will not place him under any obligations. The project will give a chance to own a farm only to those who want a farm and only to those who have worn the uniform of Uncle Pam in the fftat wa. whether they got nvprsMi or not. I.. R.

Felix was going strong all week, and toward the end of the tournament was in excellent form. His last match was won easily. The, new champion has been one of the "best golfers in the- state for several years and had always figured prominently in tourna ments. The championship is again held by Topeka, making it the fourth straight year. Harlow Hurley was champion in 1916, and Arthur Bonebrake was the winner the next two years.-" 'Tonie" was eliminated by Campbell he third round of the Lawrence ament. .ien the result of the finals In the st... s tourney became known in To peka Mate Friday afternoon, a great deal of satisfaction was felt.' The fellow golfers of Felix at the Country club, and his friends among the busi-' ness men of the city, were greatly pleased at the way the tournament ended. f Next year's tournament will be held at Salina. The board of directors of the Shaw nee Golf club will meet with the tournament committee at the Cham ber of Commerce rooms next' Monday noon. cThe "ought-to" players" on the STrawnee course have figured out the manner in which the nine holes should be played on that sporty To peka links.

No, golf is not an old man's game, j Neither is it an exclusive young man's j gaqie, like tennis, baseball or football, j It's a sport for all ages, men and women, boys and girls. Many a man in his seventies gets as much enjoy- ment out of golf as the husky chap in the early twenties. perhaps no game covers such a wide span of" life. Arthur Bonebrake, former golf champion of Kansas, will be assistant director of the Polk school playground this summer. A very pretty Fillmore street girl is going to take up golf on the Shaw nee links this summer. A young-busi ness man is going to teach her. She is engaged to another young chap who doesn't play golf. Interesting things may develop before the season is over.

Aberriathy, J. F. Downing, K. O. Bragg, J. W. Perry, E. C. Smith, J. G. Forrest, F. P. Neal, George S. Hovey. J. A. Prescott, Mason Dean, Charles S. Jobes, W. M. Fible, E. F. Swinney and J. Mathews. Charles S. Gleed and Hal Gaylord accompanied the players, but did not play, but cheered em on. Opposing them were E. L. Copeland, George W. Snyder, F. M. Bonebrake, George A. Guild. Willard Hall, Sobert Pierce, Dr. W. N. West, W. W. Strickland; H. S. Morgan, A. Fassler, J. A. Cole, T. D Alden, Justice Silas Porter and M. A. Low. The charming Topeka girl who chuckled with glee when she sliced a drive, and laughed merrily at missing a six-inch putt, has quit playing golf. The strain of appearing lirjht hearted at "boners" was too m&cb for her. The Kansas City team which xde feated the Topeka men on the links Thursday merely "got even." Topeka men sent them to the clover on a Kansas City course a few weeks ago. The nineteenth hole Is becoming more and more active daily. Wait until'July and August. Then la. when the nineteenth is a busy place. Another war time golfer has ap peared. Lieut. Wilson Hobart, just back from overseas, is curious to know if he can wield as clever a stick as he did before he got into the army. If you happen to hear of a some thing good along the golf line, call us up. Every golf player and en thusiast of Topeka is an associate editor of this column. Or he can be editor-in-chief, or managing editor, or take any other journalistic title he wants, just -So he delivers the goods. The rain has played the deuce with golfing in Kansas in the last few weeks. Players could start out on the first tee and work up a sweat in a few minutes. On the fourth hole it would begin to rain. The weather man has certainly put a dampening aspect on the great old game, But cheer up. A regular fumaced golf summer is ahead of everyone and the cobwebs -will soon come off the shower baths. Charles Dillon, who is going to Min nesota for the summer tomorrow, played his last game Friday afternoon. Despite the fact that he made the Shawnee short hole in three he was not satisfied and alibied for himself by announcing he had already packed his golf glasses and was therefore handicapped. Otis Hungate is now playing to an appreciative gallery. His dog follows hiin to the Shawnee course and fol lows him around. Some of his friends say that Hungate is trying to teach three feet to $50 seats, seventy, six feet to $40 seats, 114 feet to $30 seats, 132 feet to $25 seats, 176 feet to $15 seats and 232 feet to $10 -seats. The $10 seats are the cheapest ones sold. the dog to find his ball when it gets into the rough. Others are of the opinion that the popular lawyer has a purpose in view. I hey assert ne is getting club members accustomed to the fact that his pets follow him around the course and that this sum mer when the pastures get short he will take his pet cow out and let her graze around after him. Phil Bastman was In the notion of selling his clubs Friday night and they could have 'been bought for a bargain. But this morning he had changed his mind. Eastman has been in a mood to dispose of his clubs before; but never has he offered to dispose of hiB handsome leather golfing coat. When he gets that far his friends will begin to worry about his enthusiasm for the game. Judge George H. Whitcomb left the Shawnee course Friday night a con tented man. Finishing up a good round he drove from the ninth tee and made the prettiest ninth hole shot he has ever made on tho court. His ball rolled fight up to the edge of the green and he holed out without any trouble. Golfers all over the state will'agree that the Kansas championship crown will fit well on the head of its new wearer. There is no better sport in Ilif W. Felix. Kansas than Ilif Felix, and his play ing for the last few yeara not only entitles him to the honor he has won, but shows he should have been con sidered mors of a favorite than he was. The battle of Highland Park is now at its height. Two teams, two mow ers and a man with a scytha are doing battle with the grass and the weeds and they will have to show more than Hun efficiency to win out. The tall grass in some places on the course is almost waist high and the fairways at other places could almost be called the rough. The Shawnee club eaddies are very well satisfied with the way the state golf tournament came out. But some of them Just can't understand how Bonebrake failed to win. Some of them believe he should have won even witn one arm tied behind him. BUILD $60,000 GARAGE Whitoker Brothers Efpeet To Start Construction Soon. Construction of a 60.000 garage at Eleventh street and Kansas avenue will be started this summer. Whiteker brothers are building the garage. The building will be 100 by ISO feet, and will be two stories, brick and reinforced concrete, with a basement the size .of the building. I .-i A' I f IT k 1 SATURDAY EVENING, SPORT NOTES THINKER TOO SLOW That's Way Jack McAuliffe Popes Out Willard. Thinks Dempsey's Puncher Will Win Championship. New York, June 7. "I don't believe Jess Willard' thinker is fast enough to bt Jack Dempsey'a puncher." Jack McAuliffe, former lightweight champion, thus sized up the ap preaching WiHard-Dempsey mill to day. McAuiirre, who never naa a aeieai record against him in his days as champion, declared he had made a close study of both principals in the coming contest, but added that he had seen neither man since they be gan training and did not feel com petent to pass final judgment. "I read a lot in tne papers aDout Willard's height and reach and Demp- sev's eomDarative smallness." he said People are wondering, apparently, 11 a srood little man can beat a good big man.' But how do we know Willard is a erood bier man? He never has proved mt to me. Dempsey is a self-starter. Willard has to be cranked. Some one has to hit him and hurt him and make him mad.- "It is a panther-bear fight Willard is an aetive bear, but Dempsey as the panther is more active. 'At some time in every champion's life he wonders himself if he. really can be beaten. It struck me once. I saw john L. Sullivan once just be fore Jim Corbett beat him. "Willard has gone thru the minors Dempsey is eoming up. Chances are tne tnougnt nas struck Willard. If it has," it will make him pause. The ring hesitator is lost before he smells rosin. "Wiirard might win and then I'd look bad. I'll have something more to say about this fight after I've seen the men work in training." Kl'JT SUBURBAN HAXDICAP. Fast Field Will Start ot Belmont Park War Cloud Favorite. New York, June 7.-The thirty third running of the classic Suburban handicap at one mile and a quarter was the feature of today's card at the Belmont park race track. Eleven horses' were named over night as starters. This event, like the Futurity, used to be run over the old Sheeps- head bay course but sinee 1913 it has been one of the most attractive fea tures at Belmont park. In that year Harry P. Whitney's Whisk Broom sec orid was the. winner and the official timer hung out two flat as the time in which the Whitney horse had cov ered tho distance. Of the eleven carded on the pro gram, A. K. Maeomber's four year old War Cloud, ridden by Knapp, was fa vored in the public fancy but with a heavy, track the top weight Extermi nator which won the Kentucky derby last year was looked upon with favor despite his impost of 128 pounds while Papp, winner of the 1917 Futurity which rests in muddy going, had a host of followers, as he was in nicely with 109 pounds. Lanius with Loftus up, the winning pair in the Metropolitan at this track a fortnight ago was neglected by the speculators. The Coe entries Weep On and Over There were well thought of by racing patrons while not a few believed that H. P. Whitney's Vindex might make amends for his disap pointing performance in the Kentucky derby and Preakness this season by running a race in keeping with the fgrm he displays in all of his work outs.

Eight horses have been named to start In the thirty- seventh running of the Latonia derby. worth close to 120,000, at the- Latonia track today. With 8ir Barton, win ner of the Kentucky derby not carded to start, the field embraces probably the best ot tha other three-year-olds u the east and west, and an interest ing contest is looked for.

Challenger, Toledo, O., June 7. After four days of absolute idleness Jack Demo. sey, challenger for the world's heavy weight title, is to resume training to day at. his Maumee Bay shore camp for nis cnampionsnip contest with Jess Willard here July 4. Dempsey. according to the program mapped out by Manager Jack Kearns and Jimmy Deforest, chief trainer, will work for nine-or ten days and then lay off again until about ten days be tore tne fight. His handlers have adopted this unique system of condi tioning to prevent him from going stale. Miske a Sparring Partner. Manager Kearris announced that Billy Miske. the St. Paul light heavy weight, and Jack Malone, a welter weight from St. Paul, would join the challenger's camp about June 20 and work with him in the remaining days of training. Hard, fast work is what Willard needs if he is to get in prime condi tion for the important contest, accord ing to the view of boxing experts. The champion, they say, needs every day of the remaining four weeks to get into trim, and will have to do some of the most strenuous work of his ring career, if he is to train down to per fect condition. The champion evidently knows. bet ter than any one else, what he needs to get into shape; consequently Ray O. Archer, his business representative, is in the east in search of training tal ent. Not that Walter Monahan and Jack Hempel, his present trainers, ara not all right. They are excellent con ditioners, but experts say Willard needs more than two men and men of different type than either of these to get into top condition. Willard's tre mendous size and strength are really a handicap in his conditioning grind None of the men in camp is capable of stinging him and they furnish but little opposition in wrestling with the champion, who handles them aa if they were half grown boys.- Willard will continue to start his training stunts at 2:30 p. m. while Dempsey will go into the ring an hour later. Their camps are about a mile apart so tho -crowds can visit Demp sey's quarters after watching the champion go thru his paces. COULDN'T BUHX HIM OCT.
