Topelca Rotarians ami "Rotary Ann" paid tribute t Sir Hairy Lau der today noon. The distinguished Rcutrtiman, who Sives two concerts at the Grand thea ter, was a Ruen of honor at a special luncheon given at Pel'.etiers' Tea Kooni. Three hundred Rotarians. their wives and special cuests attended. Sir Harry entertained with an im promptu lecture on various subjects, closing with a couple of songs that made a decided hit with the Ro tarianp. Out of his wide experience as a fe-lobe trotter, comedian and business man. Sir Harry regaled the busy busi ness men composing the Rotary club membership with anecdotes, trite ex pressions dealin with the value of a good credit standing at the bank and various other forms of advice which brought smilos of amusement and serious thought in rapid succession. Bank Book vs. Credentials. "I'd rather see a man's bank book than his credentials." said Sir Harry. "It is easy to fak s credentials, but not credit at the bank." Men who work as few hours as they can get by with, stand very low in the estimation of the Scotchman, who is credited with having created morr. real honest-to-goodness merriment than any other living person. '.No man ever became financially independent by limiting his working hours." he said in speaking of the happiness to be obtained thru the "work and wages" route. "Debt is dragon, demon and villain, while work and wages makes light hearts. The garment of leisure is pleasant to look at, but not so pleasant to wear." Takes Slop at Inlon Labor. He took a slap at certain classes of union labor by saying that there is something radically wrong with a sys tem that permits a slacker in industry to reap as rich rewards as the man who puts intelligence and real interest into his job. "Success is not built upon a limita tion of hours, but upon the industry and intellect that a man puts into his work." said Sir Harry. "Those are my sentiments. T don't Inow what you think about it." The audience wildly cheered the statement. Hoy Bone In Vaudeville. Roy Bone and his section of the Rotary entertainment committee in troduced the visitor in a mixture of song and vaudeville, unique with Mr. Bone's committee. After Sir Harry was thru speaking he sang two selections, and sat down. Tho audience cheered long and loud, insisting upon an encore. "Haven't you any work to go" to?" he asked. More cheering and still more insist ent caPs for more song. "Isn't that enough for, nothing?" came from the visitor. This broke up the meeting.

"The new cut in Ford prices has had a very stabilizing effect, which is be ing reflected in the increased number of sales today." said W. H. Trefry of the Trefry Motor company. All Ford parts are now considerably below pre-war prices, according to the Topeka dealers. C0RW1NE NOT A CANDIDATE Slayor of Toiifca Suys He Will Not Enter Race for Governor. "My announcement as candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket isn't ready yet. I'm not even think ing about it, there's nothing to it," Mayor Herbert J. Corwine said this morning in discussing rumors that he was to be the Democratic candidate for state executive at the next pri maries. MAKE PLACE FOR DIRT FARMER. Harding Flans for New Member of Federal Reserve Board. Washington, Jan. 16. Creation of an additional membership on the fed eral reserve board to insure the ap pointment of a "dirt farmer" on the board, was understood to have been agreed upon in a conference at tire White House today between President Harding and Senators Kenyon, Repub lican, of Iowa, and Kellogg, Minnesota, Republican. Topeka's Famous Guest Today Sir Harry Himself a Rotarian, being a mem ber of the club at Glasgow. Sir Harry Lauder was the guest of Topeka Ro tarians at luncheon in the Pelletier tea rooms at noon today. Tho being en tertained in the social sense, the fam ous Scotch singing comedian, really did the most of the entertaining. He is an enthusiastic Rotarian and makes t a point to visit with the members of the club at every place on his intin erary. Sir Harry Lauder scored another triumph here today in that he ac complished what no other actor has ever done here. Two years ago he established the record theater attend ance' in Topeka. Today he breaks his own record. He makes two public appearances at the Grand theater and both will not enly be made with every reserved jseat filled and the gallery packed to capacity, but there will be 100 extra seats on .the stage. Two years 'ago, when 6ir Harry appeared here, the fire marshal gave WOMAN IN RACE Miss Helen Pettigrew of K. C. Is Candidate for Governor. Is First Kansas Woman To Ask Gubernatorial Honors. Miss Helen Pettigrew ef Kansas City, Kansas the first womnn to seek the governorship in this state will be a candidate in the Republican pri maries. Announcement that she would be a candidate was received to day by L. J. -Pettijohn, secretary of state, when application was made for nomination blanks. Kntrance of Miss Pettigrfw in the race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination brings the list to practi cally thirty including sideline possi bilities. The plan of the Kansas City woman to seek nomination came as a surprise to state officials. She is little known in state politics and apparent ly her plans were developed single handed and alone.

She will make cessation of war an issue in j her state fight altho it will likely be as remote anu tar removed ir m Kan sas affairs as provisions in the pre primary platform of Henderson S. Martin. Miss Pettigrew indicates she will file her declaration as a cmdidate at an early adte. This is the first time a wo nan has sought a gubernatorial nomii.ation in Kansas. On several occasions women have been nominated by various po litical parties for United States sena tor, congress, supreme court justice, and various state offices otter than governor.

That broke the record. But with two perform ances today and the extra seats on the stage, the new record is accomplished, making it p. total of 2,540 persons who will see Lauder while he is here- The reserved seats for the night perform ance were all sold out five days ago, establishing' another record, it being the longest time in advance that a complete sell-out of the Grand had been recorded There were less than a dozen of the matinee seats available when the box office closed Saturday night. The early demand this morning, took these making two complete sell-outs. This leaves only the 300 gallery seats avail able for the general public this after noon and tonight. Advance calls at the Grand box office as to the time when the gallery seats would be avail able, indicate that seats "up high" will be at a premium. The gallery for the matinee opens at 2 o'clock this after noon, and at 7:15 o'clock this evening. FOR JURY RECORD IVith Vote 10 to 2 Bureh Jurors Yet Deliberating1. Are Continuing Under Belief Verdict Still Possible. Los Angeles, Jan. 15. Resumption of deliberations today by the ten wom en and two men comprising the jury in the trial of Arthur O. Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, found most of the jurors on record as believing a verdict was pos sible, even after sixty-five hours of deadlock. The Jury went out at 3:57 p. m. Friday and was not received by the court until 8:40 p. m. last night, when Judge Sidney X. Reeve, in the pres ence of Burch and attorneys for the prosecution and defense, asked them how they stood as to numbers. The foreman, Mrs. Nellie D. Gra ham, said they were divided ten to two. The judge then asked if there was any chance of an agreement. Mrs. Graham and several others said they believed there was-- Only, one, Mrs. Eva; Hemott, said she thought the deadlock was hopeless. The Jurors retired after Judge Reeve had directed they be locked up for the night, but soon sent out word they wished additional information. Judge Reeve had left for home, but was summoned back, and M"s. De mott asked for a definition of the term "preponderance of evidence" used in the case with relation to the insanity plea advanced for Burch. The judge explained this meant evidence of the greatest weight and credibility but said the jury must consider all the evidence as bearing upon the insanity matter as well as the demeanor of the defendant in the court room. The jury again went to the jury room and about ten minutes later started for the hotel to be locked up until morning. POSWElUTiOAtES Insurance Order May Not Be -Made Uutll Last oi Week. Issuance of an order for reduction in fire insurance rates has been post poned by Frank L. Travis, state super intendent of insurance. He stated to day that the rate cut might not be demanded before Friday or Saturday. Recently Travis stated he 'would or der fire rates cut in Kansas. His an nouncement followed an order by the Missouri commissioner lowering rates in that state. IKD IX HRE HE BUIJLT. y. XebrakaiTs Charred Body Found Xcar Leavenworth Soldiers Home. IAeavenworth.

IRISH IN POWER Dublin Castle Formally Turned Over to Sinn Fein. Seat of British Rule Sow in Hands of Collins. TO END BRITISH BOYCOTT Political Crisis in England Passes Be "o Election. Cannes Parley Failure Leaves Premier "Without Issue. Dublin, Jan. 16. Dublin castle, fpr more than 700 years the seat of.Brit ish authority in Ireland, was the scene of a historic event today when Lord Fitzalan, British lord lieutenant for Ireland, formally relinquished his powers to the Irish provisional gov ernment. Dublin castle, long the target for bitter Irish hatred, was peacefully "captured" by the Sinn Feiners. Oc cupation of the ancient structure, symbolic of British domination, began Saturday when the old archives were burned and Sinn Fein deputies began taking possession. Led by Michael Collins, the mem bers of the Irish provisional govern ment entered the room of state, where the final ceremonies of surrender took place. Great crowds gathered outside the gates and cheered. It is reported in Dublin that the boy cott on British goods will be revoked soon. Several of the long morning papers allude appreciably to the brief prog ress in the South Ireland parliament Saturday, which they regard as dig nified and businesslike. They also commend Arthur Griffith's handling of the railway situation. British Crisis Over. (By the Associated Press.)' London, Jan. 16. The English political situation, especially the ques tion as to when the government is go ing to call a general election, has again been brought into prominence thru the return from France of Prime Min ister Lloyd George and the removal from the foreground of the Irish sit uation. There was a fairly general opinon among the political writers in this morning's newspapers that the election which recently was foreshadowed for February would not occur then and probably would not be held before May at the earliest. It is said that Mr. Lloyd George discussed the mat ter informally with some of his col leagues last night when he declared that an early election was undesirable. No Isene To Offer. -Among the reasons supposed' to have brought about this decision are the strong opposition of the unionists to such a step and the collapse of the Cannes conference from which Mr. Lloyd George brings nothing to offer New Santa Ire Line in O I t HAMILTON I55 I I L I t- PROWERS 1 ftMKNTl T gw Ur ici..aJ-j j i.gray'i QJ I rT"V HAS K ELL.

Dotted line shows new road running west counties, terminating near the Colorado line. The two railroadless counties of Kansas Grant and Stanton, are to be railroadless no longer, according to an announcement received here this morning from "W. B. Storey, president of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway company. The announcement states that the Santa Fe will at once begin construc tion of a new line, fifty-five miles long, from Satanta, Haskell county; thru Grant county touching New Ulysses, the county seat; on to John son, the county seat of Stanton county, to a point eight miles southwest of Johnson. To Start Work Soon. Application for permission and au thority to build the line was filed with the Interstate commerce commission today, and it is expected that opera tions will be started at once. Orders for material are being placed and there is to be no delay in pushing the work to completion. With the line in operation the last remaining stretch of territory in western Kansas, badly in need of a railroad, will have been served. Proposals to build the Satanta line have been entertained by the Santa Fe for some time. The right of way was obtained several years ago but the building program was postponed on account of the war. The late D resi dent. E. P. Ripley, told the settlers of Grant and Stanton counties that eventually the Santa Fe would give them transportation facilities. The plan announced, therefore, is in pur suance of that promise. Serves Two Counties. That promise came following the construction of a line from Dodge City to Elkhart, a distance of 125 miles. The Santa Fe, in 1912, purchased 350,- DEBT BILL PASSES Senate Committee Slakes Few Changes in House Act. Provides Commission of Five To Refund Allied Loans. INTEREST CLAUSES ELIMINATED Democrats Staged Battle for Semi Annual Payment. Secretary of Treasury To Be Chairman of Board. "Washington, Jan. 16.--The foreign debt funding bill providing for the creation of a commission of five, head ed by the secretary of the treasury, to arrange the terms under which foreign nations will repay the $11,000,000,000 borrowed during the war, was favor ably reported to the senate by a ma jority vote' of the senate finance com mittee. In the face of Democratic opposi tion, the provision making mandatory the semi-annual payment of interest, was stricken out. The provision stipu lating that the rate of interest to be fixed, be not less than 5 per cent, was also stricken out. Objectionable Clauses Out. These were the provisions against which the treasury objected on the ground thatt hey would handicap the administration in the refunding nego tiations with the foreign governments. "Under these provisions interest pay ments rvould have fallen due within six months after the refunded bonds had been negotiated whereas the treas ury desired to have the authority to defer interest payment in the case of some countries not in a position to be gin making those payments within possibly a year or, two. Very JFew Changed. The provision limiting the life of the bonds to be accepted from the for eign governments to 25 years re mained in the bill, but otherwise the measure practically is as approved by the house. It sets up a commission with au thority subject to the approval of the president to refund or convert and to extend the time of payment of the principal or the interest or both of any obligation of any foreign govern ment now owing to the United States on account of the world war. 1 vThe secretary- of the treasury wouH be chairman of the commission end thfc other members would be appointed by. the president subject to confirma tion by the sepate. 4fe electors except the decision to call an3 fhternational economic conference at Genoa.

Most of the land was sold out to young farmers, on the basis of one-ninth of the purchase price dowrr and the remainder in an nual payments, the iTrice ranging from $1,600 to $3,000 per quarter section. Most of the deeds have now been turned over and not a single fore closure suit resulted from the many transactions. The Dodge City-Elkhart line serves Morton and Stevens coun ties and the other two will Jenefit iy the line to be built this year. Terminate ofi Prairie. New Ulysses and Johnson are the only towns on tho right of way at present, but there will be a station at the terminus, which has not yet been located. The line will also go thru Cognac, a postoffice located in the western edge of Grant countv. It has been reported from time to time that when the line was built from Satanta it would extend to the Colorado line and perhaps as far as Springfield. Colo. Citizens of Baca county, a railroadless section of south eastern Colorado, are asking that the new line be extended fifty miles fur ther to reach Springfield, the county seat, but the plan as announced by the Santa Fe places the terminus eight miles southwest of Johnson, for the present. The terminus is said to be an open spot in the prairie. Fine Territory for Wheat. Grant and Stanton counties are es pecially adapted to the growing of Turkey red wheat, according to re ports of the Kansas state board of ag riculture. J. R. Koontz, assistant freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe, estimates that within five years these counties will have added 10j, 000 acres to the state's wheat area, which, he says, will mean a production TO PROBE SERVICE P. V. C. To Slake Survey of Telephone Systems. Investigation of Tolls Set for February 2S. NO MORE INCREASED RATES Many Cities Petition for Lower Charges in Kansas. K. C, K. Phone Increase Case To Be Heard Feb. 6. With the increased demand of puh lic service corporations for increased rates apparently checked, the public utilities commission is turning its at tention largely to questions of service. A survey of telephone service has been under way for some time and standardization of such service will be undertaken by the commission. A general investigation of telephone tolls has been -set for hearing Febru ary 28. An investigation of branch line service on the Santa Fe. M. K. T., Frisco and Missouri Pacific rail roads has been ordered, with hearings beginning February 14. The .utilities commission is .now nearer, up with its work than for sev eral years, according to R. A. Dellin ger, secretary. The commission in herited 197 cases from the old indus trial court which "became a separate body March 17, 1921. During the re mainder of the year 474 cases were filed. A total of S83 cases were dis posed of up to January 1, leaving only 89 pending. Instead- of utilities asking for in creased rates, cities are now petition ing for lower rates, and will be in creasingly true, in the opinion of sec retary Dellinger. The Kansas Electric Utilities company of Emporia recently made a voluntary reduction in street ear fares and electric rates. Cases Set for Hearing.

Santa Fe roads in operation from Satan La thru Grant and Stanton increase of a million bushels of wheat annually. Koontz also estimates that the two counties will add 300,000 acres to the state's area of grain sor ghums and broomcorn in five years. On the basis of $30,000 per mi'e, it is estimated that-the new line will mean an expenditure by the Santa Fe of approximately one and a half mil lion dollars. Boom Is Predicted. That the citizens of that section will be highly elated over the announce ment they are going to get a. railroad. and that an immediate boom in the two counties will result, was the state ment made in Topeka today by Bug! Scott of Johnson, state representative from Stanton county. "We know that both Stanton and Crant counties are especially adapted to wheat -growkig," said Scott, "but on account of no railroad facilities wheat raising has been limited. Instead we have been forced to turn chiefly to sorghum crops and broomcorn. but with a railroad we wjli raise wheat and plenty of it. Our population, which is now little over ofie thou sand in each county, will also in crease." Johnson, the county seat of Stanton county, and New Ulysses, the county seat of Grant county, are located about midway between the Santa Fe's line to Pueblo, and the line from Dodge City to Elkhart, either from twenty-five to thirty miles away. A truck line running south from Syra cuse carries mail and express to John son daily, and a similar service Is given New Ulysses out of Lakin. "Any other railroad service we have consists in going overland after it,' said Scott, "and a railroad of our own will save us a lot of time and money.

Counties in northern and northeast ern Kansas which have formed tax payers' leagues to protest against high tax levies will send delegates to a con ference at Leavenworth Tuesday. The Leavenworth meeting will consider a call for a state-wide convention to take action against Increasing cost of local and state government. The Leavenworth meeting was called for the purpose of uniting counties in the First and Second district which have gone on record against tax increases. Plans for the Leavenworth meeting were5 laid several 4ays ago duringVi meeting of the Better Government league of Leavenworth. They extend ed invitations to counties in the Leav enworth district or accessible by rail to attend the conference Tuesday. The Leavenworth meeting is the second gejieral tax protest in the state, altho many local meetings have been held in small towns and county seats. May Hold State Convention., It is quite probable that at an early date a call will be issued for a general state convention representing all tax payers' organizations in the state. Ac cording to reports received in Topeka more than forty counties have already organized in protest against the aS per cent increase in the state tax levy and the heavy increase inIocal taxes in many communiti-?. Practicr.lly all of the counties In the First congressional district, except Shawnee, have organized tax leagues. Counties of Leavenworth. Jefferson, Atchison, Brown and Jackson will send delegates to Tuesday's meeting, according to reports. It is also stated .that efforts are to be made to organ ize in Shawnee county. Saturday an organization was, com pleted in Emporia and Lyon county, the home of William Allen White. Lyon county commissioners reduced the amount of their taxes in 1921, but the local organization was formed In protest against generally high public expenses. Should a state convention he held to protest against taxes, the meeting will likely be held In Topeka or alina. JEWELL TO LABOR BOARD? Xamo May Be Snt to Hardlnjr to Represent Labor (.roup. Chicago.

ORIENT BLOCKS SPEEDY FINISH OF ARMS PARLEY Conference Tt'Hl Gbe Fer East UndiTlded Attention. Naval Treaties Best Waiting Word. From Tokio. CLEAR SITUATION THIS WEEK Americans Fear Action of Sen ate if Issue Not Met. Concentrate Order Follows Conference at White House. (By the Associated Press,.) Washington, Jan. 16. Senator Me Cormick, Republican, Illinois, todav introduced and the senate half an hour later adopted a resolution call ing upon the state department to sup ply such information as It has on tha financial affairs of European govern ments. The resolution asked especial ly for data on the expendijures of those governments for military pur poses. Washington, Jan. IS. Tokio and Pekin continued today to block any real progress in the armament confer ence. All along the line, in both naval matters and Far Eastern questions, the lack of instructions from the two capitals, particularly Toklo. la forcing the delegates here to mark time. The Chinese and Japanese delegates met Again to discuss Shantung, but after completing minor details regard ing the transfer of the Kiachow lease hold and talking about mines for a short time, the session adjourned with out touching the main problem of the Shantung railway. Naval Treaty Delayed. Completion of the naval limitation treaty meantime still awaited formal approval by Tokio of the article deal ing with Pacific fortifications, which was expected in time to permit ap proval of the pact by the full naval committee and its announcement at a plenary session of the conference be fore the end of thd week. It Is the plan of the American dele gation, supported by the British, to drive Htrsirht ahead of the Shantung issue until it is settled. To this end, it had been intended not to hold meet ings of the Far East committee or the naval committee today but after a con ference" between Secretary of State Hughes and President Harding at the White House this morning it was an nounced that the Far East committee would meet at 3:30 o'clock this after noon. It was explained, however, that this meeting will not be allowed to interfere with the progress of the Shantung program. Clear Problem Tills Week. High hopes were expressed by American delegates that this, the eleventh week of the conference, will see the clearing of the conference slat on all questions affecting China. The meetings which the Chinese and Japanese have held In Washing ton to date have settled every question involved in Shantung with the excep tion of the railroad, which both sides regard as the crux of the whole mat ter. The Chinese, making Shantung the test of Japanese sincerity In the Far East, have insisted upon Absolut financlal and operative control of th road and have grimly settled back tu wait. Alternatives Proposed. Alternate proposals suggested l-.v Secretary Hughes and A. J. Ualfou,-. designed at settling the controversy along lines parallel to the Chinese po sition, have been cabled to both Tokitt and Pekincr. The reports that thi Chinese cabinet had decided to accept these have not been followed by con firmatory instructions to the Tokio delegation in Washington. The Impression will not dow l. how ever, that ultimately Japanese w)!I yield in the Shantung controversy in order to make stronger her position that the twenty-one demands are nr-t proper subjects to be discussed by tha conference. Senate May ITpset Plans. In American quarters today It wa regarded as significant that the resolve apparently exists to make the whole works of the conference subservient to a satisfactory settlement of Shan- tung. It-was pointed out that the I' naval treaty is not drawn- and sigried and that it is not yet too late for the conference "apple cart" to be upset i in numerous particulars. I The administration is keenly desir I ous of a satisfactory settlement on Shantung for another reason. Offi Icials believe that such a settlement iwill allay much senatorial opposition to the treaties that emerge from the conference. Administration officials with an eye on the senate believe it would be looihardly to submit the re j suits of the conference to the senate I f or approval with Shantung still un- settled.

Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 14. Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois miners, told the district convention of Missouri mine 'workers, in session here, today, that internal dissension fn the ran lea of the union was caused not by Kansas and Illinois, miners, but by.the international officers of the organization. "These International officers," Far rington said, "are trying to destroy the Illinois officers by sending inter national organizers Into our district." Farrington denounced the action of John L. Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers, in re moving from office Alexander Howat, of Kansas, president of district 14. and praised Howat's fight against the Kansas industrial couft law. Harrington said that his own action in sending financial support to the Kansas miners had helped Howat',3 fight against the industrial court. "As a result of the brave fight by the Kansas miners." Farrington de clared, "the Kansas industrial court law has been proven unworkable and ineffective. This demonstration will serve to defeat any attempt to pa3s similar legislation in any other state." Farrington said that in the last dis trict election held by the United Mine Workers in Illinois, John L. Lewis had placed a candidate in the field against him (Farrington). x- "As a result," Farrington asserted, "I was elected by a larger majority than I had ever recefvecT Lewis was defeated in his own district by more than 18,000. Not five fcents of the funds of the Illinois district will be paid to the international or., lent... to-, them until the international officers cease their determined efforts to de stroy the Illinois organization.", SURRENDER WAR CRIMINALS?

If Kansas farmers are looking for mutual con solation on economic and financial conditions, they could find plenty at tho annual convention of the Kansas Clothiers association. "Mental pains and ingrown fears of banking condi tions" are common symptoms among the merchandisers this season, Presi dent L. W. Lawson of McPherson told the association today at the opening of its annual convention. Tou are looking for the best way to dispose of merchandise in was the way President Lawson put it "Your overhead is as great as ever. You still have government officials at Washington turning loose investiga tors and sending out reports that make your task of disposing of mer chandise all the greater. No repre sentative merchant is getting at this time a long mark-up. but it is striv ing for a mark-up that causes him to have mental pains and ingrown fears of his banking connections. "Now. bovs, we want to move mer chandise. It canr be done. It is being done. Keep your ear to the ground tor any statement, word or sign that will assist you in this he-mans job and if you tie up to any idea that will help you, your time and money will have been well spent. "This sounds as tho our game is go ing to be a 'Blue Monday game, but any game that is worth while takes a scrap to put it over. Mr. Lawson emphasized the present need of quick turnover and the exer cise of Judgment on part of the mer chant in selecting goods which will mpet with ready sale. The Kansas Apparel club will enter tain the visitors this evening with a dinner and frolic, including vaudeville and dancing. Gov. 7rl. J.

Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub stitute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work. People afflicted with had breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act gen tly but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without, any of the bad after effects. All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable ef fects. Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac tice among- patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath. Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for a week and note the effect. 15c and 30c. Adv.
