The direct negotiations begun with the soviet are on the question of an immediate armistice along the entire front of about 720 miles. The propo sals were wirelessed after failure to leach any definite conclusion in deal ings with M. Tchiteherin. the Bolshe viki foreign minister, thru Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain. The proposals were signed by Prince Eu gene Sapieha, the minister of foreign affairs. The Polish line today still ran to the east of Grodno, it is announced in the official communique. The Pol ish front wits holding immediately south of the Pripet and in Polesia but further south a breach in the line ef fected by Polsheviki cavalry is re ported. Kxpwi Reply by Friday. The Fo'ih message was short'and to the point. There was some delay in dispatching it, owing chiefly to hitches in the organization of a coaltion cabinet, with the peasant party loader Witos as premier. The council of national, defense and Premier Grabski's cabinet had been considering the question since Wednes day night, and it was known that it M. Witos and Mr. Datzenski came into power their init'.al step would be for an arm istico. It was decided th?t further delays would be serious owing to the situation beyond Kialystok. A reply is expected by Friday night. Reds Take Towns. London, July 23. Capture by soviet troops of the fortress of Dubno, one of the Volhynian group of fortifica tions defending the southern Polish border, is announced in Thursday's1 official statement from Moscow re ceived by wireless today. The Bolshevik! also have taken the railway town of Slonim, 70 miles southeast of Grodno and 5 miles west of Baranovitchi. The statement rea d s: "In the direction of Volkovitz our advance is continuing successfully u lnic both banks of the Niemen. "(n Tutsday we captured Slonim, inflicting severe losses upon th enemy. North and south of Barono vitchi st it ion we captured several trains with locomotives and an armor ed train. "Our troops drove the Poles from Dubno and developing our success we enga ged the enemy, 7 to 16 miles southwest of Dubno." Poland Hard Pressed. The Polish outlook appears increas ingly menacing to commentators in th;s morning's newspapers. Poland not only is extremely hard pressed by the Bolshevikt armies, they say, but her territory is already invaded. One of the papers prints news purported to have been received by the British foreign office which says the Bolshe viki right wing has occupied feeiny, northwest of Grodno, and about thirty miles from the nearest point on the German frontier. The Bolshevik! cap ture of Grodno is confirmed and the reds are also reported to have taken Dielostok, 110 miles from Warsaw, while in the south they have entered eastern Galicia. GralM Cabinet Quits. The ministry of Premier Grabski is reported to have resigned, Kith the administration entrusted to extreme radicals wr.i the idea, it is said, thet sucn a governmenr would be better with the invaders, atde to make terms il la siait-u mai preparations are being made for the evacuation of Warsaw. Emphasis is laid on the danger to the peace of all Europe by most of the newsapers and the anti-Bolsheviki papers see in the soviet army's ad vance a determination to destroy Po land. Another fear expressed is that if the Bolshevik! victoriously reacn the eastern frontier of Germany, a Spartacist or monarchist uprising would be inevitable, either of which, they said, would be equally fatal to the reconstrvction of Europe. Fear German Stand, Papers which have been consistently distrustful of the Germans foresee that the military party of GermanvlTreseiice and subsequent develop noi only would rind in such .a case an excuse for further delaying' reduc tion t'f the reichswehr and disband ment of the civil guard, but would secure a direct line of communication with Russia and make itself master of the Bolsheviki organization and Russia herself. "If this plan is carried out.1' says the Daily Mail. "Russia would become a German colony and all her vast wealth and manpower would be at Germany's disposal. The allies would have lost the peace after winning the war." The Daily News which Is not un friendly to the Bolsheviki says the seriousness is not less because of the faff that oaetorn ..11 irms and ammunition dumns to be lurrendered to the allies.

Washington, July 23. Poland has asked the state department to formal ly announce to the world "the moral support of the United States to Poland, in its battle with the Russian Bolshe viki." The suggestion also was made that similar expression from President AX-il a noloomcrl anrl i-nnM I do much to stiffen the morale of the! Polish people- Only 9,766 of 30,000 Allotted to State Received. Allen Says Roads Must Handle 160,000,000 Bushels. Unless present transportation facili ties are improved and more cars pro- vided, railroads will require two years 'or the removal of the Kansas wheat crop. That is the situation before the wheat growers as presented today by Governor Allen in a telegram to E. E. Clark, chairman of the interstate cominerce commission. Of the 25,000 to 30,000 box cars al lotted to Kansas by the federal com mission, only' 9,766 had been received July 13. according to information in possession of the governor. Not all of these cars were used by Kansas shippers. Grain movement at this time is 60 per eent below that of 1919, the telegram states, and because of car shortages, twelve to fifteen mil lion bushels of wheat were in hands j of growers when the new harvest be Igan. The governor stated that 160 million bushels of wheat must be han dled by the railroads and he calls upon the interstate commerce com mission to take immediate action in providing necessary cars. Heavy losses and disaster in many communities have been threatened be cause of slow nwvement of grain. Gov ernor Allen asserts. In his appeal for relief thru the federal commission, the governor said: Because of the seriousness of the situn tiou whrrh lonfrnnts the wheat farmers anil grnin interests of Kansas I feel that I would be remiss If I ilici not lay before you the full situation as regards inade quate transportation for this state. The wheat crop of lltlil amounted to 14ii,000.000 hnshelK. Itecanse of inability of the rail roads to move this -rop. something like twelve to fifteen million bushels of the oiil crop were left on hand in Kansas when the new crop matured. The remainder of the old crop plus 147.0OO.00O hi he Is grown this year, amounts to practically 1HO.000.01X bushels, for which transporta tion will be needed. Unsatisfactory as was the movement of grain out of the state last rear, the pres ent movement is more than 60 per cent be low that of the corresponding period a year ago. At the present rate of. move ment it would require more than two vear. to more the present wheat supply to mills and elevators. The effect of this situation is gravely to Enhance the price of food stuffs alid to add a heavy burden to the financial in terests which must carry the unmarketed crop. It Is adding very greatlv to tile expense which tbe farmer must bear in the' handling of his wheat in tbe payment of interest charges nnd ill the waste" incident to prolonged storage. I respectfully invite yonr attention to the fact that out of the twentv-flse or thir ty thousand cars which the press reports indicate have been ordered to the relief of western and southwestern railroads, only n.itm had reached on July IP,, the railroad's serving this section and of course all of these were not placed in service in this state. The entire quota of 25.01)0 or more cars which have been ordered by the com mission to the relief of this section would be barely adequate for Kansas alone, even if these orders were promptly and com pletely carried out. I'nder the present rate of fulfillment the delay is bound to cause disaster to all the Important Interests af fected by this great grain growing section. I cannot too strongly urge upon you the great: necessity for the most prompt action possible on the nart of your commission. TELLING GAS TROUBLES Twenty-Two Kansas Towns Interested In Case Here Today. Attorneys, accountants and geolo- ?'sts are telling the industrial court to day of the gas troubles along lines of the Wichita Natural. Twentv-two towns are interested In the rate case, which is one of a series of tedious, long uiawn out disputes regarding rates, supply, operating expenses and the interests ofthe consumer. -Several towns interested In the rate case nave offered to leave their trou Dies entirely or almost entirely in the hands of the industrial court However, neither the gas company nor the various towns have waived all of their legal rights. While the present case may provide a solution and estab nsn a new basis of rate making, there is no serious feeling that the ancient gas question is to be immediately dis .posed of. Several new plans and theories have been presented to the court. None of tne proposals, tho. have been unani mously accepted. The gas company Is disposed to view with suspicion any suggestion from the distributing points. Ana tne towns which patron ze the gas company show an equal distrust in any offer fram the produc ing interests. It is probable the present case may ne concluded late today or Saturday. A decision may not be rendered until late next month. Testimony in the case is being heard by Judge Clyde M. Reed. FILM EXPLOSION STARTS FIRE j Kansas City Building Resembled Torch tP4C Floors Gutted. Kansas City, iff ljuiy 23. Fire broke out in the top story of the Kan sas City Film Exchange building shortly after noon today. Flames leaped 75 feet from the windows. The building was "twelve, stories high, new and considered absolutely fire proof. It housed most of the film exchanges that suppJy the films for movie theaters over 'tne southwest After a spectacular blaze in- which tHe building- resemMed a mammoth torch, the fire was brought under control. The top floor was putted. Automatic sprinklers saved the structure. Most of the occupants of the film exchange were at lunch when, it is be lieved, explosion of a film started the fire. It is feared, however, that all could not have escaped injury. Turk Peace IKlcffatcs to Paris. Constantinople. July 23.

Hold Funeral In Paris Monday Bring Body to IT. S. Paris, July 23. The funeral of Wil liam K. Vanderbilt, who died here yesterday, will be held in the Ameri can Church of the Holy Trinity here Monday. Arrangements were made to place the body Jn the -mortuary chapel of the church until plans can be made to have it taken to the United States. Final interment will be in the Van derbilt mausoleum on Staten Island. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. Estimates placed the value of the estate left by William. K. Vanderbilt at between $50,000,0u0 and $100,000,- 000. The fortune left by his father, divided among seven brothers .r.d sisters, was placed at J300.000.000. By alliances in marriage with other wealthy families, the total finances now in the hands of the various branches of the Vanderbilt family have been increased so that it runs into the billions. William K. Vanderbilt was noted for his establishment of the Vanderbilts on the top run?: of the social ladder. He was also noted as a. sportsman He was born in 1849 on Staten Island. He went to work as a clerk in the New York Central offices when 19 years old. His first plunge into the four nun dred was on his return from Europe in 1878, when an elaborate reception was given with many titled foreigners as guests. Miss Alva femith of Mo bile, Ala., attended the reception and later married Vanderbilt. Miss Smith is -now Mrs O. H. P. Belmont, leader in' the work for woman suffrage. The Astors, who controlled the four hundred, did not recosrnize the Van derbilts, however, until 1S79, when t the "Vanderbitt ball," recognized as the most m port ant social- event in decades in New York society, was! given. j Trfii"1tfjaralerbilt obtaineda; divorce in Pars n 1 8&5.

"We notice with regret that Senator Harding mentions and even enrrpha sizes the fact that many dissent from the law and he will, if possible, I think, secure its repeal."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALr FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1920 3 SITS IN SEAT OF PILATE Graduate of Cambridge Now Ruling Voice iu Jerusalem. Jerusalem, June 3u. The office of governor of Jerusalem, once occupied by Pontius Pilate, is now held by Col. Konald Storrs, a graduate of Cam bridge university and son of the dean of Kochester college, .England. his task is one to lest the adminis trative ability of any man. Jerusalem is a city of disunions, where, whatever may come of the future, for the mo ment Zionists and Arabs are passion ately divided and to steer a just path between them and induce them to Join him on that path is thankless work. It is to that task, however, that he chiefly devotes himself. Twice a week he has meetings of his favorite pro Jerusalem society, where French, Italians, British, Americans, rabbis, Zionists, leaders, commercial men of standing and others who are in any way prominent in the life of the city are brought together and in the course of debate, led to see that they have in common a single citizenship. His motto as governor is "unify and be friends." Colonel Storrs was one of the prime movers in the establishment of an independent Arab kingdom. He is 3S years old. San Antonio. Tex.

The Santa Fe team of Topeka evi dently has "shaken" Its loose-playing opponents and graduated into a world of real base ballot earns. The gan.e -with Beioit last Sunday was a starter. Next Sunday the" fast Chillicothe, III., club, will invade the local camp. Chillicothe has not lost a game this season and from the dope gathered from traveling Santa Fe offi cials the locals will have real opposi tion when the umpire calls "Play." carroti ana w omcK are two Chilli cothe pitchers who have both pitched one-bit games this year. In addition the club carries Malcoot, an ex Three-I league pitcher, formerly with Bloominton, 111. The Chillicothe club this year has defeated the Liberty Motors, of Peoria; the Henry Grays, of Henry; the Lexingtons, of Peoria; the Alta Semi-Pro club of Chicago; the Santa Fe club, of Chicago; and the Peoria Shamrocks, and tied with the Streator, 111., team. Kekar Says When A Man Finds A Medicine That Does What Tanlac Did For Him He Ought To Tell Everybody About It. "When a man has suffered like I have for twenty years and then finds a medicine that fixes him up like Tan lac has me, I think he ought to do everyt hing he can to tell the people about it," said J. E. Kekar, 924 South Sixteenth street, St. Joseph, Mo., a valued employe of the Brown Trans fer and Storage Company. "I am fifty-five years old and for the last twenty years of that time I have been bothered with an awful case of rheumatism. From my knees all the way down to my feet I was al most constantly in pain and at times I could hardly get about to do any worff. The muscles in my legs hurt terribly and my joints would get so stiff it was agony to bend over. Even at night I was in pain and sometimes wasn able to get a wink of sleep. "I was simply miserable all the time and altho I had tried every lini ment and treatment I knew of, I was gradually growing worse. "Finally I ran across Tanlac, but I had little or no faith in it. But the first bottle changed my mind, for it went straight after my rheumatism. The stiffness left my joints and the pains all disappeared from my legs and knees. "In all I took five bottles of Tan lac, and today I feel like I have been made all over again. I sleep sound all night long and when morning comes I am feeling fine and ready for work. "I am always glad td speak a word of praise, for Tanlac, for I think the people ought to know about it." Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully McFarland Drug Co., 835 Kansas Ave. and 729 Kansas Ave. Adv.

Haskin, Director, Washing ton, 1). C. The railroads are asking the inter- -state commerce commission for an ad vance in passenger and Pullman rates to help them in meeting the $600,000, 000 wage increase. An addition to the Pullman and passenger rates would of 'course bring in mors revenue on the business done, but it is doubtful that gross profits would be larger than they )are under existing rates. During the war a half cent a mile was added to the Pullrrian fares and theSjjusiness fell off to such an extent that it was found necessary -try remove the extra tax. Passengers rode in the chair cars while the Pullman berths remained empty. If a cent a mile b added to existing passenger rates and 50 per cent to Pullman charges, travelers may find It cheaper to make journeys in automo biles and sleep in hotels en route in cases where the hurry is not too great. The public will pay higher freight rates without mttch grumbling because .it cannot, see the money go out, but when it comes to traveling expenses well, they are different. When the Caledonia, O., band visited Marion Thursday it found Warren G. Harding, a former member, blowing an entirely new horn. Senator Harding in his speech of ac ceptance favors permitting the vice "president to have a voice in the af fairs of the nation. This should- ap peal strongly to the vice presidential vote of the country. It may be the means of bringing Mr. Marshall into the Republican fold. The rights and Interests of vice presidents have been too long neglected. Senator Harding's pronouncement on the subject of a federal budget indi cates that if a bill establishing the sys tem should come to him he would sign it. Such action would be in contrast to the course pursued by President Wilson. The wife of Governor Cox says "When I read a Republican paper I feel sure rny husband hasn't the ghost Vf a chance, and when I read a Dem ocratic paper I don't see how he can fail to be elected." The Sioux City Tribune suggests that Mrs. Cox and others like her read an independent newspaper. In the news columns of the independent paper are given, with out garbling, without discrimination es to space, all of the important daily developments and speeches on any and all sides during a political campaign. It recognizes these simply as news, of the same relative interest to its read rs'as any other current happening, fend handles both in the same fair way. It seeks only the common good, and as a majority must be brought to agree ment as to this before results can be obtained its first effort must be edu cative to seek the light and the truth for the benefit of its constituency, large or small. The State Journal, like all other independent newspapers, hews closely to these lines. The alleged Mexican government appears to be planning to return to the policy pursued by the late Presi dent Diaz. When anybody started a revolution with which it might be dif ficult to cope, Diaz gave the leader a good federal, job and placed his .fol lowers on the pay roll. According to news dispatches it is proposed to try this plan on Villa. Sines every other method of disposing of the country's greatest disturber has failed the Diaz system seems to be worth trying. A correspondent of a local -paper .says gold mining almost has ceased at CriEj!e Creek, Colo., 'because gold is mo cheap that mining does not pay. But he fact is that a dollar will buy no more gold than ever it would. What ails gold mining is what alls numerous other enterprises. It Is high cost of labor, material and ma chinery. Efforts have been made to induce congress to pass a law provid- lngr for the payment of a bona for gold production. A better way to in crease the supply of gold money might be to take over the yellow metal used for personal ornamentation and turn it over to the mint. SENATOR HARDING'S SPEECH When shorn of all generalities and fine language Senator Harding's speecn accepting the -Republican nomination for the presidency is a clean cut decla ration of principles. In it there is found no dodging or attempt at eva sion. The plain eitisen will have no difficulty in understanding the candi date's position on all matters regard ed as issues in this year's campaign. The senator makes direct challenge to he Democrats on the question of the ratification of the peace treaty. He is opposed to the Versailles docu ment either with or without reserva tions. Taking up the labor problem the thought seemingly uppermost In his mind is Voiced in the declaration that "conscience bas wrought more justice than statutes have compelled, but the ferment of the world rivets our thoughts on the necessity of progres sive solution." Farther along the senator said: The menacing tendency of the pres ent day is not chargeable wholly to the unsettled and fevered conditions caused by the war. The manifest weakness in popular government lies in the temptation to appeal to grouped citizenship for political advantage. There is no greater peril. The consti tution contemplates no class and rec ognizes no group. It broadly includes all the people, .with specific recogn ition for none. We do not oppose but approve collective bargain ing, because that is an outstanding right, but we are unalterably insistent that its exercise must not destroy the equally sacred right of the individual, in his necessary pursuit of livelihood. Any American his "the right to quit his employment, so has every Ameri can the right to seek employment. The group1' must not endanger the individ ual, and we must discourage groups preying upon one another, and none shah be allowed to forget that govern ment's obligations are alike to all the people. Evidently with radical agitation in mind Senator Harding said: He who threatens destruction of the government by force or flaunts his contempt for lawful authority, ceases to be a loyal citizen and forfeits his rights to the freedom of the republic. On the subject of prohibition Sena tor Harding delivered himself as fol lows: I believe in law enforcement. If elected I mean to be -a constitutional president, and it is impossible to ig nore the constitution, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every com mittal is to orderly government. Peo ple ever will differ abeut the wisdom of the enactment of a law -there is di vided opinion respecting the eigh teenth amendment and the lcTws enact ed to make it operative but there can be no difference of opinion about honest law enforcement. Neither government nor party can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of cengress must harmonize with the constitution, else tney soon are adjudged to be void; congress en acts the laws, ana tne executive branch of government is charged with. enforcement, we can not nuimy Be cause of divided opinion, we can not ieoDardize orderly government with contempt for law enforcement. Mod ification or repeal is the right of s free people, whenever the deliberatf and intelligent public sentiment com mands, but perversion ana evasion mark the paths to the failure of gov ernment itself. If Republicans were looking for a leader they have found one. The party nominee has given his followers rally ing cries in abundance. The campaign orator of any party will not find H necessary to go beyond the speech of acceDtance for something to talk about. Colonel Bryan might as well have accepted the nomination for the pres idency tendered by the Prohibitionists. The party has placed its brand on him and his influence In the Democrat or ganization probably ist an end. De- feat would not have hurt him. He is accustomed to it. ROADSIDK MARKETS. i A notable outgrowth of the eombi nation of automobiles and good roads in New England is cited by the Chris tian Science Monitor, which says: Wherever one motors nowadays, all manner of things may be bought by the wayside. Along the Massachu setts highways in midsummer, almost every farm house has its little stand out in front, sometimes covered with a canvas canopy, sometimes sheltered by a more permanent wooden roof. A very simple sign may be marked with the single word "asparagus" or "gooseberries." That, is about all the advertising that seems necessary. On the stand are arranged, rather naively, perhaps a few boxes of the fruit or vegetables. In the background, how ever, the people of the place, one may be sure, are busily gathering a fresh supply in the garden. As the season advances, the strawberries are suc ceeded by the blueberries ad the cur rants, and the asparagus gives way to the wax beans and the tomatoes. Thus the -wayside vending continues, from spring until the end of the apple time, to be a pleasing and attractive busi ness wherever there are passable roads. A few enterprising farmers,, it is pointed out, have put in filling sta tions. With the extension of hard sur faced roads, the idea seems likely to spread all over the country. In almost any rural community, probably a good business could be done in supplying city dwellers out on a pleasure jaunt with fruits, vegetables, fresh eggs, country butter, dressed chickens and home cured hams and bacen. These are articles hard to obtain in the city markets, even at high prices. Many residents of cities, hereabouts, already are alive to" the possibilities connected with going directly to the producers fer articles such as are enumerated above, but few are willing to travel to the farm house to hunt them up. A roadside market would be certain to appeal to a aoodly num ber of them. The middlemen's profit's could be eliminated with advantage to both buyer and seller. Evening Story t Forgotten. BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS. The snoV was piled in great banks along 5th avenue and the stages ca- an angry sea. Bess Wilson had been standing waiting for a seat on one of those busses until she felt she could stand not another moment. Getting to and from business under the horrible conditions of the city streets was a most trying ordeal each morning"" and evening, and Bess, to gether with two of her business friends was getting weary of the struggle. "It is only under such conditions as these that I ever regret bing poor and having to work for a living," laughed Bess disconsolately as they vainly hailed the tenth bus that pass ed them on its uptown way. "It wouldn't hurt some of these wealthy people to give us a lift eitheVi," commented Nesta, "they could so easily fill up their great cars and help traffic a little." The words had scarcely fluttered from hef ips when a big motor, driven by a well-poised young man, stopped before the three tired girla "Plenty of room in my back seat if any of you wan a lift," he in vited, with a sharp military touching of his cap. "Oh!" sighed Nesta, perhaps the moset tired of the three. "I was just wishing some on would be good inough to take us uptown." Young Vircent Drake laughed an jumped out to let the Hrls in his great car. Bess Wilson hesitated. "I go to the west side," she sighed. "You two go ahead. I will just have to wait for a No. 15. bus." Drake? inveigled her into the car while she was yet speaking. "I can strike towarcL-the west side at any angle," he told her. When they were all three comfortably and thank fully tucked in he turned laughingly and impersonally for orders. As tney jolted and swerved along the traffic-bound, snow-encumbered avenue the girls took complete and moat satisfactory inventory of the you man who so kindly rescued them""""from a more lengthy wait on the street corner. Eacl pair of eyes said, "I like him don't you?" Even had Drake been chumily in clined he could not have dared giving his attention for so much as a mo ment to his three passengers. Driv ing was precarious and all his head and energy were well occupied. How ever, when Nesta and Helen were safely deposited amid the snowdrifts adoring their own neighborhood, he insisted on the third and lonely pas senger changing from the back to the front seat. "You'll get jostled back and forth across that big seat, and besides, I will have to shout for directions to your home." So Bess found herself beside Drake minus the small fur piece she had un fastened from her throat. It had dropped on the seat and now, rather than trouble Drake, she let it remain until she should get out. The trip over to the west side was without any special incident. Drake cast an occasional swift glance at his tired little companion, but words be tween them were few. Perhaps Bess was too tired to do more than lift a Dair of heavy lashes- in acquiescence to some remark of Drake's, or it might have been a sense of decorum that kept her from chatting freely with this strange young man. 1 Interpreting her silence as the lat ter cause. Drake essayed to put his charge more at her ease. "You are about the umpteenth pas senger I have taken home during this snow blockade. I've bjeen picking up people all this week. Doctor orders that I keep eut in the air as much as possible: so I tpok this means of com bining duty with pleasure." During the remainder of the drive to Bess's apartment door Drake was conscious that the girl's queer little personality was making its way thru the silence she maintained. "Thank you so much," she sajd softly as she stepped from the car. "I was very tired tonight and appreciate your kindness. Good night." She was gone so swiftly that Drake hardly realized her exit from his horizon. It was not until he had plowed his precarious way a few blocks beyond that he cursed himself for not having thought to get her ad dress. .He had a feeling that he could get to like Bere, but now he had lost his chance. She was a needle in a great haystack to hfrn. When Bess hadclimbed the three flights of stairs to the small apartment and removed her coat and hat, there was a quaint little smile hovering about her lips. She had not taken off her fur, because it was not on her neck to take off. It was in the back seat of young Drake's car. So the lit tle smile stayed in Bess's eyes with persistent happiness while she pre pared a nourishing dinner. Next morning she made a stop on her way to busihess. It was at the "Lost and Found" desk of the lead ing daily paper. The., advertisement read: "Will young man who drove three girls home' from corner Fifth avenue and Frfty fourth street please return fur neck piece left in car?" As she turned away from the desk and started to make her way swiftly out lest she be late, she collided with a young man apparently bent on the same business as herself. "Oh!" gasped Bess, breathless from the impact. Then, looking up, k beautiful flush swept her cheeks. "So!" cried young Drake with quite shameless elation, "then It was your fur?" He had jumped to speedy con clusions seeing Bess near the "Lost and Found" desk. "I am not sure I would have recognized either of the other two girls had I bumped into them here," he added. The implied compliment was re warded by a lovely slow glance from the'' girl's eyes. "You were going to advertise for the owner?" she questioned. "Yes." young Drake told her, "and I dost mind letting you know I hoped you were that owner. I have never had to return lost property before, so don't know how to do it." He looked expectantly at Bess for his solution. "I would call it found Property now," she said slowly, and decided then and there that she would like knowing young Drake much better than she al ready did. "Perhaps if you have time and still must stay out In the air you cnuld stop at Fifty-third street some evening and deliver the fur. I am not the corner every evening about 5:15." "I have time. I must stay in the air and I know you need your fur this cold weather. If tonight is alt right I will be waiting." "It is pretty cold," laughed Bess and Jthe atmosphere surrounding her smile being anything but chilly young Drake knew that every evening from then on would see him waiting at Fifty-third street At least all evenings until Bess should cease to be self-supporting.

As I sat -with my hot cheeks in "my eupped hands, my 'life seemed to unroll before me "nappy, carefree childhood, my delightful school days, my gloriously happy days with father and mother and my friends the year after my graduation. my debut, my birthday party, father's death; then came the parting with mother, the three weeks with Mrs. Rush, my journey to Chicago, my heart-breaking search for work, and now this. I heard the manager come in, but did not remove my hands, or look up. I felt as if I never could lookf up again. "It if fortunate, Miss Stewart, that the bag' was not found upon you -fortunate for you," a cold, monotonous voice said. "Oh, Mr. Watklns, I did not take it: I never-even saw the bagl"-i ex claimed, rising in my distress. "The bag had been missing some minutes. The eounter had been searched. Suddenly it is found directly in front of yeu. The conclusion is obvious. So also is your manner of dressing, of which Miss Marvin com plained to me. The bag was not really found In your possession so we shall not arrest you. But here is your pay for the time you have been with U9v I should advise you to change your ways. Evryone may not be so lenient as I -have been." "Lenient!" I almost screamed the word at him as I stumbled from the office and, after getting my hat, from the building. Not one word of sym pathy, not a chance to try to make hirn see my side of the affair. "Oh, what ever shall I do!" I moaned as walked rapidly away from the store. When I reached the bare little room I called "home," I flung myself upon tne oea ana scDnea ror hours. Other things had been hard this was hard est of all. And all those girls, the customers who had hung around aftar purchases were made to see the out come of the search, all these thought me a thief called ma so In their minds. I wondered how many homes would be regaled with the story of the dis honest girl who' pretended to sell shirt waists so she could steal, as I heard one woman say indignantly after Mr. Watkins had ordered me to go to his offiee. I would be held up as an ex ample of a girl who stole to buy good elethes.. I tore frantically at my dress! I became hysterical in my desire to de stroy it. I prayed to-die. I did all the wild, foolish things a girl so un happy and all alone in a city that had already made it almost impossible" for her W earn a living, would do. Then, exnausiea,. quiescent, deadeaark uiucrenra aia anytmng man.' No one cared. I was Just a little it of flotsam and jetsam on life's tide. That I was washed out to sea and .drowned would not make a ripple upon ine lire or anyone. Then the thought of mother, my promise to make a home for her, came to me, and steadied me. "I ean't give up, I can't!" I mutter ed over and over. Then I folded my hands as I had when a little child, and knelt beside my bed and prayed that I might be kept good, really good, as dad had said he wanted me to be. Then I asked God to help me, because no one else would. I bathed my face. And feeling faint as I walked around the room, I recalled that I had eaten nothing all day save a roll and cup of tea in the morning. I had so littlp rhoney I must not get sick. So with a feeling of nausea at the thought of food, I went to a deli catessen and bought a bottle of milk and drank it. I fell asleep the moment I touched the bed. My intense emotion, the giv ing way to hysterical dejection, had left me exhausted. In the morning I could not rise. I felt as if a leaden weight were upon me. holding me down. I decided to remain in bed, and to try and think what I should do. "Ain't you goin' to work. Miss Zena?" Mrs. Lynch asked. She had climbed all those long stairs when the maid told her I was not up. "No, I do not feel able Ho get up. Then: "I'll just lie here and rest tq day. I'll be all right tomorrow." "I hopes so, you look mighty peaked, tho," and she left me, only to return with a plate of toast and some tea. Tbe kindly act brought the tears again. Not everyone was unkind. (Tomorrow A new friend.) George Matthew Adams Daily Talk, THE BUSINESS OF BEING SQUARE. Ever since we were school folks we have had it drummed into our ears that "honesty is the best policy." But, as a matter of tact, honesty isn't a policy. It's Just straightfor ward business. It- isn't policy to breathe, because it is natural for us to breathe and the most natural thing in the world is fer a man to be henest. No one really wants to be dishonest. So that the business of being square, after all, is really plain and simple. The desire to be square lives within the heart of everyone. When a man is not square it is not because he does not desire to be, but because of en vironment, or something, which has made his moral fibre sick. And such a man should' be treated not blamed or punished or Jailed. No matter what the circursstanee, it always pays to bo equare. Not in a money way, merely, but in the satis faction way. No one ever got very far by being mean or crooked or un fair. And the man who practices these thing hurts hirfT?Vif the most. You can't hurt the other fellow by abusing him. The essence of n Golden Rule i Just to be square. That's ail. I And it isn't boast eriypocrisy or anything like that, but what every body, poor, rich or unlearned most desires to be. Sometimes I think that the roan mho ties hardest to be square is the one most misjudged, i gues that is because the natural proceeding is al ways the most unusual these days. But never mind. It's tho rijrht thing L- ca always do your best to e Just aa Square as you know hoy. International Sunday Sch oo I Lesson BY WILLIAM T. ELUS, For July 25 is, "David Succeed Saul as King." II. Samuel 2:1-7; :l-5. The Throne at Last. 'The mills of God grind slowly" but they never cease to grind. The one thing that Providence seems to have most of is time.. Haying time, it jseems easy to have patience. Most mortals are short on both. Few per sons know th divine art of waiting. What we want we want In a hurry. All our desires must be granted over night. With the impatience of chil dren, we expect all the desirable things we asek in behalf of the world to be accomplished straightway. It a rare commentator upon current his tory who is not openly critical because human society has not suddenly been made over after the war. Just as David found it a long, weary way to the throne of Judah, and a longer way to the throne of a united Israel, so it is with most persons -in pursuit of life's goals. David had traveled by the diversified route of cattle and courtiership and royal fa vor and exile and persecution and the caves and the mountains and the wilderness. He had run the whole gamut of normal experience, in his eventful Journey between a sheepfold and a palaee. The Belgian Artist' Feat. A great goal is worth a Ion lournav. For a day's provisions pn may walk to the corner store: but for the feast ing of the spirit upon th riches of the Old World one must take a long and costly trip. Little things are easily gained; great ends are secured at the cost of time and effort and skill. A Belgian young woman has spent thir teen years, and undergone great priva tions and toils, in order to make a tap estry rivalling those of the old masters. Now that she has suoceeded, she has been honored by king and by court, by herjiative city and by the masters of art, and the tapestry is to be sold at i fabulous price. She could have paint ed a tnousana poi-Douers during this time, as most of us would have done in her place, bu sho would not have given the world a treasure. Her road to a throne, like David s, was long and hard, but It was worth trav eling. All that David underwent was es sential to his arrival. Not an expert ence could have been foregone, else there would have been missing necessary span of the bridge. All was required for his training and equip ment. Well could tho harried and distressed hero repeat to himself his own Shepherd Psalm, He leadetn me." No person has ever greatly served his world who has nar'learned to seo that tho experiences at which he most chafed and fretted were necessary for his preparation. God does not put His children thru need less discipline. I have watched tho Japanese work men make cloisonne, and the proeess, after it has proceeded to a certain extent, seems to bo merely one of re peated, burnings and polishings. Long after a visitor would suppose the vase to be finished, the maker subjects it to rubbing: after rubbing: and, In the case of the finer grades, the last stag is a slow, eareful rubbing by the human- hand alone. Such, pains does art' take to complete its work. hall the human soul therefore grumblo be cause it takes time, and patient ex perience, to bring it to its true worth? .Mushrooms and) Oak 3. t Spurgeon once said something to the effect that when nature wanted a mushroom it could be produced over night; "but when an oak tree was wanted, it needed decades and een turles. One of the problems of th newly richNwho seek to create great estate in a few months or vears. is to secure old trees that shall be prop erly placed. Only partly has the skill of the nurserymen In plant removal come to their aid, for trees can be grown only by time. Similarly, when God wanted a David for the throti of Israel. He would not pluck him unripe. Tho process that makes the great and beautiful tree was employed, and the first element In that is time. No wonder tho Psalmist wa con tinually exhorting his soul to wait pa tiently upon the Lord. Discipline is but another word for disciplining training for the task. David wa being prepared as the great king, whose glery in tho sacred story was to be eclipsed only by that of his own Greater Son. David might hava reassured himself, all along the way. that he was on the way to a throne, that he was being made fit to become a king. A lumberman once told me that tho finest grades of tim ber are those which come from the tree that has been standing out in the open, where all the winds of heaven have buffeted it. The fiber is tougher and more closely wrought than in a forest-grown tree. Adversity ha been the blessing of the tree, as it were, just as the life which has not been too highly sheltered is fittest to serve its time. Difficult experiences are almost a sure sign that God is doing some thing special withone's life. Place or Fitness? There are more young persons who are looking for Jobs today than are seeking for work. From every quar ter comes the cry that workers, of all kinds and degrees, are more Interested in wages than in production. Quality has deteriorated in almost all lines of merchandise. This is becauBO wo court place rat.er than fitness. Now it is clear tha God cares more for quality than for position, and for char acter than for reputation. Even more than He wanted David to be king of Israel, the Lord wanted him to be a kingly mam He was supremely in terested in the soul of David. Unpopular as the truth may be to day, it' nevertheless is eternally true that it is better to be a big man in a i small place than a small man in a big place. In other words, it ia more worth while to bo than to seem. I have known more than one great man of whom the big world never heard; and I have also known not a few tragic instances of little men occupying great positions. for which they were not fitted. This entire Lesson may be con sidered from the angle of th prepara tion ota spirit for a work. It repre sents the solicitude of heaven for quality first. With the help of David' long, toil some experience in making ready for the throne, it should, be possible for millinti nf vntmnr vterrm 1t lai.vht this week that, despite the high wages and quick rewards of a financial sort that have been given to ail degrees of ability and inability during the war, it still remains true that preparation tlmo is the most important time of all, and that to go into the responsibilities of maturity untrained and unqualified isnothing short of a disaster. Whenth test comes as it seems to b coming today in some parts of the economie and Industrial world the overpaid ineffielents will be th first to suffer, and the last to recover. David was made ready for a mighty and difficult career by long, hard experiences; but I he cam thru to tho end. and died King of Israel. wanted: King Men. In the remarkable "McAndrew's Hymn." by Kipling, tho old engineer. after musing- upon the wonder of in vention and machinery, cries, "But, Lord, what about the man?" That ia the supreme question. All the kingdoms or realms of earth and heaven are crying aloud today for' kingller men. Keligion needs nothing, short of tn divine Spirit, so much aa it needs men of royal caliber. Politics la pes tered with pygmies. Business keeps crying aloud tor men worth ten or twenty or fifty thousand dollar a year. It it quality that is needed. rteverentiy, wo may eay mat- uoa Himself is seeking men and women who can b trusted with great success in Hi cervlce. Is it not remarkable how easily wo become self-inflated over trifling achievements in Christian work? The average professional evangelist is as strutting and self satisfied as a" bantam: he gives an observer the impression that he feels the Lord should be very grateful for his favor. All this means nothing more nor less than tha pride of petty spirits as they occupy for a brief time minor places of responsibility. Only a few men, of the Moody stamp, are able to rise above the small conceit which is a sure mark of lack of real greatness. David in power proved himself a magnanimous as he had been when he spared th life of King Saul. Ho had won to a kingly character before ever ho came to th throne. This quality of detachment, of largeness o( view, of greatness of spirit, came di rectly from his consciousness that his times were In the hands of Jehovah. Ho was sensibly In tho keeping of God. His it wa to wait th Lord' time, and to play tho- man meanwhile. He was a great king because he had learned obedience In a divine school. He became king over his people by first becoming king over his own spirit, and an obedient subject of th King of kings. Dorothy Dix Talks I BY DOROTHY DIX rx I M Write. I WwrU' tllghest Paid w"ui Honor Where. .Honor la Due 1. At tho time of tho new moon In September tho Hindus hold a solemn feast at which they pay -honor to tho tools witn which they havo supported themselves during the past year. The farmer gathers together all of his plows, and spades, and scythes, and after having placed them upon a spot that has been previously puri fied, ho prostrates himself before them, and offers them sacrifice. The mason pays the same homage to his trowel and square; the carpenter to his hammer and axe; the butcher to his cleaver; the fisherman to his nets; the writer to his pen. The women, likewise, assemble their domestic utensils, their Jugs, and pots. ana brooms, ana embroidery frames, and rice mills and worship them in a similar fashion, for during this period tho instruments with which one has earned one' livelihood are considered to be Household Gods, worthy of the deepest reverence. I think that there is something very beautiful and touching in this cus tom, for surely there lis some virtue in the tool that shapes itself to our hand so that with it we can create beauty and work, that we can cause to brings forth fruita-from the earth, rear habitation for man, and add to the Joy and eomfort of life. Surely wo ow seme gratitude to the 'instru ment, unconscious tho it be, that stands between us, and our loved ones, and want and poverty. Personally, I knew that I never pass a certain battered old typewriter with out giving its dingy cover a loving lit- tlM T'. fi f t." r i- mr nartifnli hnnoahnM god ha showered untold blessings upon me, and deserves at least a ton of Incense burnt before it aa a slight token of my gratitude. And I often wonder that a man can sell the store or office in which he has made a fortune. I should think that to him It would be a holy spot, the place where dream eom true, and that he would fall down and kiss its very threshold. Perhaps the reason that so many men who have made money in business, lose it a soon as they leave it is because tho household gods are jealous god, and punish those who are faithless to them. Certninly tho household gods reward true worshippers. Every time it is the man who loves the tools with which he works who makes the big success. It is the man who lays all that he has of mind and heart and body upon tho altar of his profession who is given the great reward. He who sacrifices most to hi calling, reaps most. This idea of worshipping the tool with which you work will not appeal to many women. They can see how a great artist might worship her brushes, or a great actress her grease paints, or a great writer her pen, but when it comes to kowtowing to" a cooking stove or a sewing machine, or a peramulator why, that' another story. 7T (Copyright. 1930, by the Wheeler Syndicate.

What may' be a physical phenomenon Is found in Norman's height record with the Public Health Nufsing association. According to the record he is an inch and. a half taller than he was two weeks ago! Norman has been under the special car of the Public Health Nursing as sociation as an underweight and un- aerneight child. He has been kept, with two sisters and two brothers, at the county detention home for two weeks. In addition to-three nourish ing meals every day the children each have had a pint of milk daily. Brother an Inch Taller. By careful measurement the public health nurses found the height of the o-year-old boy had Increased an inch and a half. "It may le that the child has straightened up, adding something to his heigbt," Mrs. C. C. Bailey, head of the Public Health Nursing depart ment, said. "But it is certain he has grown astonishingly in two weeks." Norman's brother Truman is found to be an inch taller than he was wo weeks ago. His sister Lila, aged 14, who is forty pounds underweight, has gained four pounds in two weeks; an other sister, Velma, also greatly un derweight, has gained three and a half pounds, and Lomona, aged 9, four and one-half pounds, under the Pub lie Health association's care.

Hopkins, attorney general, was made Thursday by Samuel Houston Carr of Parsons and E. L. Burton, Carr's attorney, at the attorney general's office.. Carr charges Campbell is not a citizen of the United States and filed a long brief in support of his contention. The Par sons 'man is making the race against Campbell for the Republican nomina tion in the Third district. Campbell has served eight terms in congress from the Third. Carr states in his brief that Camp bell was born in Nova Scotia. Canada, in 1862, coming to Kansas in 1866 with his paxents. His father took out first papers, but died before he completed his naturalization, the brief recites. The congressman filed his own first papers in 1888, but there is no recora of his ever having taken out second papers, according to certificates pro duced oy Carr. A daughter of Congressman Camp bell was refused registration recently in Crawford county, on the ground that her father was not a citizen of the United States, but a few days later she was allowed to register, according to reports from Pittsburg. No action had been taken on Carr's demand. Attorney General Hopkins said today.

King Alexander of Greece, with his staff, -landed at Rodosto this afternoon after the disembarkation of Greek troops. He was received with wildest enthusiasm by the local Greeks, head ed by the bishop. Gifls strewed flow ers before the monarch, who went to the cathedral, where a te deum was sung. The bishop expressed joy. that a Greek king had set foot for the first time on Turkish territory at Rodosto. The Turks had only five big guns on the hills surrounding the town. Consequently the Greek battleships Averoff and Kilkls, the two British battleships and two British dread noughts, which appeared off the town earlv this morning, landed only a few shells over the batteries before the Turkish soldiers and civilians became panicky and fled. Armenians and Greeks began plundering the Turkish shops but were speedily cheeked by two regiments of Greek troops. Chlraco Viraln and Prorlaton Market. flilrago. Julr 23.

Plenty Room for Improvement, However, Says Pepperell. Wichita, July 23. While Kansas merchants in general are making an excellent showing in their .returns to the government of the war tax on their sales, there is plenty of grounds for improvement, according to Internal Revenue Collector Pf-pperell, in charge of the Kansas district. Forty-five' field men are now engaged in check ing up the merchants' war tax in the larger cities of the state. 'The man who receives a single cent as war tax and does not turn it over to the government is an embez zler." said Collector Pepperell, "and "DANDERINE" Stops Hair Coming Out Doubles Its Beauty. A lew Cr-fiis buys "Uanderine.1 After an application of "Danderine' you can not find a fallen hair or any dandruff, besides every hair shows new life, vigor, brightness, more color and thickness. there is a surprisingly large number of embezzlers, among merchants." A local merchant recently escaped prosecution under an embezzlement charge by confessing to the, collector that he had been kepim? two sets of books in order to evade payment of his full share of war tax on goods sold. "Twentv-five per cent of those de linquent in paying the luxury war taxes which they have collected from their customers when they sold the oods are purposely embezzlers from the United States government," con tinued the collector. "Seventy-five per cent of the delinquents do not v seem to know the law. "But despite alPthis, Kansas s rec ord, as compared with that of other states, ranks high. The latest govern ment statistics show Kansas right at the top of the list either first or sec ond in the rating based on the amount the states are expected to turn in."

Many Men and Women Without Clll zcnsliip Papers Will Loose Vote. "Votes for women" have little sig nificance for more than a hundred women who have applied to the regis tration desk at the city hall to regis ter. They find .they have no right to claim their share of votea for women, for their husbands have no right to votes for men because they have neglected to become citizens of the United Stages of America. Mrs. Jessie Sinclair, 1265 Polk street, who has always lived in the United States, whose hjsband served as a captain in the American army in the late war, was denied the privilege of voting because her husband had never become an American citizen. "There's a woman in Topeka who .s anxious ot vote. She has served on th election board in Topeka for ten years, but has never voted because her hos band is an English citizen and will not consider becoming an American." Mis Etta Covell, city clerk, said today. "Married women are only chattels as far as their voting privileges are concerned." Unless naturalization papers shown to the city clerk, more than two hundred men and women who have at tempted to register, admitting that they are not naturalized, will not be allowed to vote.

Advertisement. Messages Pour Into His Office Urging Investigation. BY A. L. SHULTZ. Governor Allen is to be called upon to name a committee to investigate blue -sky operations thru the office of Richard J. Hopkins, attorney general. Publication of records showing that Clif Matson, an assistant attorney gen eral, represented stock selling schemes as a private attorney while drawing a salary from the state has aroused wirle criticism. .Before .leaving on a speaking tour thru southwestern Kansas the gov ernor declined to comment on the Hopkins case. Several weeks ago, tho. he directed an investigation of the state banking department based on demands from over the state. He has since directed ouster proceedings against Walter E. Wilson, state bank commissioner. First Wilson, Now Hopkins? Similar procedure may now be de manded by persons who have con demned the policy of Hopkins in blue sky cases. Official records in the state house show that Hojfkins sat as chair man of the blue sky board and passed on stock selling permits of corpora tions which had retained the law firm of Matson Stearns of Wichita as private counsel. Matson at the ime was in the employ of the state and charged with the responsibility of pro tecting Kansas investors against- wild cat and highly speculative invest ments. M Reports of the blue sky depmment show that some of the companies rep resented by the assistant attorney gen eral offered investments of a highly speculative character. In fact, in at least one or two instances companies represented by the firm failed or were unable to meet the department -.requirements. At least one other com pany is shown to have retained the assistant attorney general to see if he could not get their affairs in shape to make a sufficient showing in landing permit. Matson In Wichita Case. Tt was Matson who represented Houkins in the "Jack" Hussev case in Wichita and directed dismissal of the liquor charge against the wealthy clubman. Hussey had been arrested during the Brewster administration when he receipted for 120 quarts xf wine shipped to Wichita from Califor nia as "olive oil. Following the scandal surrounding dismissal;of the Hussey case, County Attorney Conly of Sedgwick county, rearrested the Wichita man. Hussey then pleaded guilty. He was par doned by Governor Allen. It was this case, backed by more recent revelations of blue sky opera tions thru theattorney general's of fice, that has occasioned a demand for a state probe. The d emand is said to be from tax payers and in vestors who want to know both as to the use or state -lunds by Hopkins s department and th amount and methods of collecting private attorney fees by members of the staff. There is a feeling, several prominent To pekans declared today, that the peo ple are entitled to know the extent to which state attorneys carried tneir private practices while drawing sal aries from the stateto represent Kan sas investors against purchase or se curities. Ijook Into Use of Funds. While na direct statement has been made thru the governor's office, it was asserted today that a number of letters and telephone messages have been sent urging the governor to probe Hopkins's department and to make puolic the findings. An inves tigation would doubtless go to the ex tent of at least a peek at the prac tices of all persons attached to tie department, as well as the manner in whicji state funds have been used. Following publication by The State Journal of the record of blue sky cases handled by the firm of Matson Stearns during the time Clif Matson has been an assistant attorney general, this paper sought a statement from Hopkins. The attorney general was not in the city Thursday. This morning he was in conference with his office staff. The conference was be hind closed doors. Over the telephone The State Jour nal asked Hopkins for a statement. He hung up" the receiver. Called a second time Hopkins was again asked to tell of Matson's activities while serv ing as his assistant. The attorney general asserted he "was not responsi ble for lies circulated by profiteers. and insinuated malice behind the story. He. was then asked "if the offi cial record as published by The State Journal was untrue. He made no an swer and again, hung up the receiver after declaring "it isn't the first time bunch of lies have beencirculated The record as printed by The State Journal is in the state house. It was made by, Hopkins and his assistant.

LEE FOR County Attorney This ad donated by Employes Santa Fe Offices i I Political Advertlsemeot-i Nellie Spillner, 217 Branner street, who Thursday afternoon confessed to the police that she had cashed so many worthless checks that she could not remember them all. The woman's the memory of the police, who esti mate that she passed approximated seventy-five checks aggregating $1,000 in value. Mrs. Si'lllner is 40 years old and the mother of eight children, the oldest, a girl of fourteen. She told officers that she cashed the checks to get things which her husband's pay checks could not provide for. Spillner is a mechanic in the Santa Fe shops, and knew nothing' of her forgeries, the wife declared. The police today had the names of fifty Topeka merchants who have been victimized and new complaints were coming in steadily. Women Remembered Her. The purchase of a string of Imita tion pearl beads a few days ago at the Wolf Jewelry store, 725 Kansas avenue, proved Mrs. Spillner'B un doing. She bought the beads and gave Miss Helen Decker, clerk, a check for $15. The check was found to be worthless. Mrs. Hazel Markley, an other clerk in the store, recalled that she had seen the woman sitting on the porch of a house on Branner street. Two days later a girl came in -the store and asked to look at beads. Picking up one string, she remarked that a girl friend had a string Just like them, given her by her mother, a Mrs. Spillner. There were only two strings of beads of that kind in the store. Miss Decker recalled the woman who cashed the worthless check and, be lieving she had obtained the .correct name, notified the police. Broke Down and Confessed. George Frost, chief of detectives, went to the woman's home with Miss M. L. Addis, another Jeweler, from whom she had also obtained a string of beads, but Miss Addis failed to rec ognize her. Miss Decker and a clerk from the Tucker Electric company were then taken to her house Thurs day noon and expressed the belief that she was the woman wanted.. Mrs. Spillner emphatically denied the accu sations. Thursday afternoon Frost and Chief G. G. Hannan went to her. home and in the course of an hour she broke down and admitted her guilt, Mrs. Spillner began her forging operations last March, according to the police. The first check, for 115. was cashed at the Pelletiers store March 17, 1920, and signed Mrs. Jen nie Smith, 27 Oak street. In most cases the woman would enter a store after banking hours, order some goods delivered at a fictitious address and give a check on which she received back a small amount of change. Most of the addresses given were on the East side. She used several different names in signing the checks. Most of the checks varied in amount from $7.50 to $30. Several were cashed on the North side. Descriptions) of the woman had been In the hands of the police sev eral weeks but they hAd been unable to locate her until the incident in con nection with the beads led to her discovery. Merchants today seemed to desire that she be arrested, sentenced and paroled. On account of the eight children, the youngest of whom is a baby six months old. It is not believed that drastic action will be taken. Large Xnmber of Stores. Among the stores which cashed worthless checks for Mrs. Spillner are: Warren M. Crosby Co., Crosby Broth ers.

WHITE HOUSE AIDS il Governor Cox Gets Data for His Acceptance, Speech. Prohibition Stand Aow Chief Matter of Discussion. BY HERBERT W. WALKER. Columbus, O., .July 2 3. Governor James M. Cox today will begin writing his speech of acceptance. The library at his home, -"Trail's End," near Dayton, will bo the scene of his labors. The nominee will leave Columbus for there shortly after noon. Interest centered in the eact stand of the nominee on prohibition.

Hobson of the Anti-Saloon league asking whether Cox favors a "wet" modification of the Volstead law. remains unanswered after two weeks. Cox has indicated his answer will be in his speech of acceptance. The League of Nations, the causes cf the present unrest thruout the country, federal taxation, the high cost of living and farming conditions will be given prominent places in the speech, Dut one of the outstanding themes will be an attempt to show that the Republican party "has drift ed back Into reaction," a close adr viser said today. Cox was studying carefully the full text of Senator Harding's speech yesterday and it was thought probable he will reply to some sections. Data for Cox's speech have been furnished In large volume by the White House and other government departments. In addition, thousands of appeals and suggestions fcave been received from individuals. Speaking of these. Cox said the general trend was that he should come out strong for progressive principles. O. B. GULFER IS RE-ELECTED. Topekan Will Continue to Manage Leavenworth Topeka Railroad.
