President-elect Harding is today working on a list of representa tive women and prominent Iemocrats he intends to call tor Marion to address him on the League of Nations ques tion.

Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 9. Mrs. Jake L. Hamon will not be chosen Repub lican national committeewoman from Oklahoma to succeed her late hus band, in the belief of Miss Alice M. Robertson, congresswoman-elect from the Second Oklahoma district today. Ed. Dyche, treasurer of the Repub lican state central committee, recent ly launched a "movement to support the widow for the place. "The lesson of death must come to those to whom life is still' given," said Miss Robertson. "It was a great surprise to me to find that Republicans of the state of Oklahoma have been called upon to erect a monument to the late national committeeman by the election of his wife to the vacancy' caused by the sordid tragedy of his death. "The Republican women of Okla homa cannot afford to indulge in an impractical, sentimental attitude to ward one woman, when that attitude is fraught with such danger to women in general. "The party organization in their de liberations and elections of a commit teeman will not in my judgment be' embarrassed by appeals from women voters." That Hamon was not the main cog in placing Oklahoma in the G. O. P. column in the last election was the declaration of Miss Robertson. "The great leveler death, is also a great truth revealer, and the claim that the dead chieftain was the man whose genius placed their state in the Republican column is not true, his part having been far less than that of many others and the party in Okla homa having, after all, won in spite of rather than thru 'hia work," she as serted. "It was a shock to me to find this out after I attended the obsequies at Ardmore. I knew tnat he had never spoken to me after I announced my candidacy, studiously avoiding me on various occasions when we were seated upon the same platform even, but I credited that rather to a certain magnanimity, for I was one who had opposed him all the way thru. Not until the late summer had I believed that he really desired to see the Re publican paTty win in the state, for to him and his" personal following, the gain of the party was loss of power and be loved power." WILL SEND NO DELEGATES Wilson Refuses to Take Part In League s Disarmament Session. Washington,. Dec. 8. President Wilson today declined the Invitation of the League of Nations to send dele gates to take part in the discussions of the disarmament commission. The pres.- ent informed the League of Nations council that inasmuch as the United States was not a member of the league he did not feel justi fied in appointing a commission to take even a def actor participation." The United States, however, -the president declared is tn sympathy with any plan for world disarmament.

Booze Tho Illegal Still Has Value Decision of Court Kansas City, Deft. 9.' Despite "the fact that the sale of whisky is illegal. it has a market value and theft of it constitutes robbery, according to a decision handed down by Criminal Judge E. E. Porterfield in the case of Samuel Warren, a negro, who was convicted, by a jury here early .today on a charge of first degree robbery. Judge Porterfield sentenced Warren to five years in the state penitentiary. Warren was charged with stealing whisky valued at $2,250 from a local residence. The defense asked that Warren be discharged- on the ground that no robbery had been proved be cause whisky had no value and steal ing it would not be a crime., "r-- WILL HURRY PEACE Insurgents in Senate Want Resolution Up Now. Senator Knox Has Refused to Disobey Floor Leader. Washington, Dec. S. Refusal of Senator Lodge, Republican leader of the senate, to sanction Introduction and passage of the Knox peace reso lution at this session of congress has started an insurgent movement which may result in presentation of the measure In spite of- Lodge's disap proval. Senators who deem immediate re turn to a peace status imperative are exerting pressure on senator Knox to permit one of them to introduce his resolution, which declares the state of war between the United States and Germany at an end. Knox .has thus far declined because he. does not wish to run counter to hi floor -leader's wishes. He is strongly in favor of im-i mediate adoption of the resolution, however. Lodge informed the insurgents that he does not intend t have anything done with the measure this, session. They -told him there are enough Dem ocratic votes available to pass the res olution over President Wilson's veto, but Lodge said his plan was to let the whole thing go over until the special session after Harding's inauguration. The insistence of insurgents is based on a desire to get war laws repealed. They want to get rid of the espionage act particularly, and they want the return of conditions that would allow American business men to trade un hampered anywhere they can find cus tomers with money to pay for goods. Lodge was most interested today in reports that President Wilson might re-submit the Versailles treatyi-A-Kothj-ing will be done with it. Lodge made clear. If re-submitted, it will be re ferred to the foreign relations com mittee and left there. Lodge Indi cated.

Its enforcement will be' left to local authorities, it was intimated today at the attorney general's de partment. No state-wide action will be taken, it was said.

Piled Up Huge Trade Balance on War Prices. Washington, Dec. 9. Farmers now demanding emergency legislation as protection against falling prices, raised crops during the last two years which brought more than $7,000,000,000 when sold fr export, according to ca analysis of foreign Omtm by Secretary Houston. Farmers are bringing presMtXa t bear on congress to revive the war finance corporation to lend them money to 'export wheat, grain, cotton. meat and dairy products. Another group wants a high tariff on wool. Houston has opposed the demands and some government officials say that to grant them would increase food ana clothing prices. According to Houston, more than 50 per cent of the United States foreign commerce now consists of agricultural products. During 1918 and 1919 this commerce piled up a trade balance in favor of the United States of nearly $9,000,000,000. Foreign nations now owe the busi ness men of the United States more than $3,500,000,000, according to Houston, in addition to nearly $10, 000,000,000 which their governments owe the government of the United States. Houston's indicated conclusion therefore is that farmers now are sharing, to a greater extent than any other class of business men, in the greatest, foreign trade in United States history. Southern farmers, Insistent on urg ing government assistance to protect them from selling cotton at 20 cents per pound instead of 40, as of a few months ago, were particularly noticed by Houston. The value of manufac tured cotton exported "from the United States was- $1,100,000,000 during 1919, he pointed, out. During the same period, exports of breadstuffs wey? valued at $1,000,000,000; meat and dairy products, $1,600,000,000 and to bacco, $260,000,000.

I never dreamed that there waa a medicine on earth that would cause me to regafn my former weight and health in so short a time, but Tanlao did it and I simply can not tell you how grateful I am to this wonderful medicine. I suffered for two years from in digestion and dyspepsia and was In a very badly run-down condition. f had a tired, worn-out feeling nearly all of the time and rarely had any appetite. At times I would have indigestion so badly that I could hardly breathe. I also suffered from palpitation of the heart, severe headaches and pains In my back, but thanks to Tanlac. all of these terrible symptoms have left me and I new feet as well as I ever felt in my life. Another thing; I sleep just spen didly at night now- and never suffer from Nervousness like I used to. Tan lac is certainly a wonderful medicine and I am only too delighted to rec ommend It to my friends." The above statement was made recently by Mrs. Ida Hamburgh, of 816 S.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9, 1920 ROTARY TO HELP Local Club to Make. Topeka School Educational. SNAP SHOTS 'AT HOME NEWS EX-EMPRESS OF GERMANY SERIOUSLY iuTl Its "eeds M ill Be Brought Be fore Legislature. Starting with the Topeka Hotarians there is to be an organized and sen eral move of the Rotary clubs of the slate to make the Boys' Industrial school of Topeka an educational rather than a correctional institution, and to attempt to influence the legis lature to pay attention to the needs of the school in the way of supplying new building's and teachers. In addition to the present plant. To ivt Kven Chance. John M. Klnkel, chairman of the legislative committee of the Topeka Rotary club today presented a report of his committee, in which it was urged that the Rotarlans try to see to it that the boys at the Industrial school and the girls at the Girls' Industrial school at Beloit, get an even chance at a little education. The object the Hotarians have is the establishment of educational facilities which will give the students of the industrial schools at least a grade school education before they are "graduated." The appropriations for the main tenance of the plant, the Hotarians would like to see increased to -a size which will permit adequate staffs of teachers to be employed to give the boys and girls grade school, and pos sibly some high school work, and suitable buildings provided. During the past year the Rotary clubs of the state in connection with their program of boys' work, became interested in the Boys' Industrial school to the extent of building a swli..ming pool there. In the course of the installation of the pool, the Ro tarians got close enough in touch with the school to want to go further with their assistance. Send Copies to Other Clubs. The business manager 'Of the state board of administration. James A. Kimball, and the superintendent of the Industrial school. Capt. V. P. Mac Lean, have recommended the installa tion of the educational features of the school work, and it Is to urge the "passage of appropriations which will permit these recommendations to be carried out that the Rotary club today passed resolutions, copies of which are to be sent to all the Rotary clubs in the state. The members of the committee makinc the report are John M. Kinkel, Fred Volland, S. .1. Crumbine, C. I. Martin and A. L. Oliger. Bod Mkerg Get Big Bonus. Kenosha. Wis Dec. 9.

According to dispatches from Doorn, Holland, where ex-Kaisel Wilhelm and the ex-kaiserin are in exile, the former empress of tM ytrman empire is seriously ill and little hope is held for her recover j Her five sons and daughter are visiting her one at a time so that th i visits will not excite her. The ex-empress, Augusta Victoria, has been in poor health for many years, being forced to forego court social func tions as far backas 1912. Regret and grief over the fate of GerJ many in the World war and the loss of millions of her countrymen in the conflict have weighed heavily. The crowning blow was the forced flight of her husband beaten and in disrepute in his own land to the sheltering countryside" of Holland. It was just two years ago this month that the former German war arrived in Holland. MANY MEASLES CASES DEATHS AfJD FUNERALS For First Six Months of 1020 Total of 507 Cases Arc Reported. j Topeka has been infested with measles at the rate of nearly 1,000 cases a year, according to statistics in J the' city board of health. For the first six months of 1920, 507 cases of measles were reported and from 'July 1 to December 1, 461 cases were re ported, wth a total of $68 cases in less then a year. No previous record in measles has exceeded this year's total, Dr. Earle Brown stated today. In the fall and winter of 1916 and 1917 a measles epidemic existed, which causes nearly as many ases in Topeka aa there are at present. Only one case ot the 968 cases of measles has been fatal. Doctor Brown said. It was the case of a child who contracted pneumonia while ill with measles. The rate of new cases of measles re ported to the department seems to in crease faster than the department Is able to release quarantine cases. "I released twelve cases of measles and put new measles' cards on thirteen houses this morning," Miss Sarah Zel lers, city contagion nurse, said today.

A few minutes before Ernest ar rived at the jail his 14-year-old brother. Preston, was brought there and locked up 4cause he ran away from the detention home Wednesday night. Th younger brother had re mained away from school and was incorrigible, officers said. Cole Tounger a former local burglar, had plied his trade success fully for some time before he was ar rested. He was then paroieo. Ernest said he regarded. Younger as having made good as a crook and thought he could do the same, officers said. Ernest was "arrested Tuesday by George Frost, chief ,ofj detectives, at which time he admitted stealing an S sweater, a revolver, and three billiard balls, and cashing aworthless checK fos $3. Later he admitted stealing the two suits of clothes.

Topeka had a larger number of cases of tuberculosis re ported in the past eleven months- of 1920 than in any previous year should urge the importance of supporting the anti-tuberculosis crusade. In the city of Topeka alone, in the eleven months en dir.? November S 131 cases of tuberculosis had been re ported to the city health department. Thirty-eight of the cases were among non-residents, but the remaining ninety-three cases among residents constitute the largest number ever re ported to the city in a year's -time. The highest number previously- re ported was eighty-six. "The apparent increase of tubercu losis may be attributed to four things." Dr. Karle O. Brown, city health offi- cer, said today. "First, that doctors are irore careful in reporting cases and making earlier diagnoses of cases; second, that people are continually growing more wide awake to their physical welfare, third, that the in fluenza epidemic of 1918 and 1919 left many persons weakened from the disease, with tuberculosis resulting; and fourth, that men who were in the army suffered from exposures and from gas attacks, leaving them good subjects for tuberculosis." With a free public health clinic con ducted every Friday afternoon in the city health department, the city is en deavoring to cope with the tubercu losis menace.
