WHO WROTE eTRILRLY.

Denver, Col, April 29.-Dld DeNhu-
rier write "Trllby?" This sensational
question was today propounded in the
United States court in good faith when
the suit of Harper Bros and A. M.
Palmer for an injunction against the
Lyceum Stock Company to restrain
them from producing ''Trilby" was
called. The defendants allege that the
hool& entitled "Trllby'' was not orig
mated, invented, or written by Du
Maurier. They assert that the origin
al book OF 'Trilby' was first published
in France in 1920, and afterwards
translated and published In English
in 1s47, and that the title and book
have been common property for rs
years. The court postponed hearing
until Wednesday morning.

THEY DO AND DON'T.
England Would Like TO Play Horse
with the United States and then
She Wouldn't.

London, April Recommending upon
the talk of general alliance between
Great Britain and the United States,
the st. James Gazette says We would
rather have an alliance with the Unit
ed States than any other people, but
the standing offensive and defensive
agreement Is a compromising thing.
Both sides Of the agreement would
act together in defined region for a
limited number of objects. Another
matter is that the interests of Great
Britain and the United States in Cen-
trail America and parts Of South Amer
lea are Identical. We do not intend to
make conquests anywhere in America,
and therefore the United states mas
no grounds for jealousy. Both nations
desire to trade in peace and are mo-
Tested by Spanlsh-Amerlcan anarchy.

WANT TOfCONPRONISE
Nicaragua win Make England
an Offer Of Settlement
AN ARsIrRArioN COMMITTEE.
Which Includes Representatives
From the United States to Settle
Excess Demands of England.
Associated Press.

Managua, Nicaragua. April GA
proposition of compromise and imme-
diate evacuation of corn.o by the Brit
ish, is now under consideration be-
tween Washington. London and the
authorities here The proposition en-
braces as the essential points:
Nicaragua is to pay $775OO at Lon
don within two weeks
2-The British forces are to immedi-
ately withdraw from Corinto without
waiting for the two weeks to elapse.
3-A mixed commission of arbitra-
tton is Ito pass on the demands of
Great Brtain's excess of the $775Oo
claim, such commission to be consti-
tuted In manner satisfactory to the
United States and Nicaragua.
The foregoing terms, 1t is believed,
will be accepted by President zelaya
and his cabinet. n4s understood the
suggestion for settlement came from
the Nicaraguan representative at Wash
ington. and it is believed such adjust
meut would be agreeable to the Unit
ed States authorities. If the Nlcara-
guam acceptance is given the PROPOSE
ton will be urged on the London for
eign office and it is believed they will
be accepted.
Nicaraguans here count on the act
i've sympathy and substantial support
of other Central American republics
in the event of actual host,lites They
do not express belief that their sister
republics will take part as such, but
feel confident that individual volun-
teers will come to Nioaragua's aid in
sufficient numbers to give them an
effective armyo of at least $4,000 men.
While with this force they could not
expect to defeat the British they hope
to make it very uncomfortable for
them. The coast towns which are
small and unimportant save as ports
Of entry for goods, would be abandon
ed and the army would make its cam
paign in the tropical Businesses Of the
interior which are we'll nigh inaccessi-
BILE to European troops. War conduct
ed under such conditions would be ex-
penslve to Great Britain.

Washington, April 29.-Some sudden
and unexpected orders were issued to
the United States naval vessels late
this afternoon and caused sensation

terminus of the proposed Nicaragua
canal. The Montgomery, now at Mo.

sailed yesterday from Acapulco direct

HE WON THE PRIZE
SAM ANDERSON KNEW MORE ABOUT
PROHIBITION THAN ANYBODY.
The Result is That He Won a Ten Dollar
Prize Given by W. x. Smith--Miss Rule
Right After the Young Man and Made a
Splendid E1ort--Harry Funk Blamed
Church People for Non Enforcement of
Law and in Addition Raised the Cry of
America for Americans--Claud Royse
Talks, Too.

The second oratorical contest of the
year occurred last evening at the Lewis
academy and brought out a crowd.
4 ten dollar prize which was offered
by William r. Smith TO that member
of the junior class who should produce
the best grafton in thought and deliv-
cry upon the subject: How TO Sup
press the Liquor Traffic in Kansas.
After the invocation by H. w. Rule,
the first Grafton was delivered by Miss
Clara Rule, who argued that neither
law nor custom can ever make wrong
right. If the state law says prohibi-
ton, the people should enforce that
law, and the non-enforcement OF a
statute recognized by both state and
federal authority is disgrace to any
people and a dangerous educator for
the youth. Miss Rule spoke earnestly
and held the close attention of the au-
dience from the first.
The next speaker, Mr.. Harry Funk,
argued that no permanent success
could come to the prohibition cause
while 50 per cent of the church people
vote for party regardless of principle.
That the foreign element is a danger
Gus factor in our civilization and one
which should be controlled or banished,
and that America should be for Amer
leans" Mr.. Funk said the blame of
the present state of affairs in Kansas
is directly chargeable to the church
people and until they have the courage
TO vote their professed principles they
should not complain. The speakers
earneStnesS and power won the SYM
pathy of his hearers.
The third speaker. Mr.. Sam Ander-
son, spoke with his usual grace and
power. His thought is that the educa-

liquor question. No youth will use the
poison when he knows it will ruin body,
mind and soul. The law is an educator
of no small worth. Put honest, Christ
ian men in the legislature and let the
young people know that right laws
must be obeyed.
The last speaker was Claude Royal.
His Grafton was well written and forci-
bly, delivered. He claimed that all at
tempts to license the liquor traffic have
been signal failures. Only persistent
fight can win. degenerate the man,

CASE WILL BE DISMISSED.
Claim to Have Evidence That WIN Smith
Was wrongfully Prosecuted.

Colonel Sam Amidon said last night
that Mulvane is all torn up with excite
ment over the outcome OF the Smith
Mackenzie murder case.
The people down there now claim to
have positive evidence that what was
called the Smith baby was the child OF
one Of the prominent young women OF
that section.
Steps have been taken to have the
case against Will Smith dismissed and
the recent developments are causing no
end of discussion in the little city down
on the county line.
It will be remembered that DR.. Mac
kenzie and Will Smith were arrested
for causing the death Of the latter's
child. They We're kept in Jail for some
time but were finally admitted to bail.
DR.. Mackenzie had his trial last
spring a full account Of which was pub
lished in the Eagle at the time and
which resulted in the acQuittal of Mac
kenZie. Smiths case went over and II
was expected that he would be tried at
the present term of court.
Will Smiths wife is the daughter OF
Mr.. James Stewart, one Of the promin-
ent farmers of Salem township, and IL
was claimed that he was urging the
Smith.
Will Smith lived on a farm belonging
to Stewart, his father-in-law. and IL Is
claimed by his industry had at the time
this case was commenced against him
accumulated property to the value of
1000. which has been entirely dissi-
pated since his case was taken into the
courts.
There is now a good deal OF sym
pathy expressed for Smith at Mulvane
and the people say he has been greatly
wronged il the baby which DR.. Mac
kenzie took into Mulvane and which
deid from exposure was not his.

over the mysterious disappearance OF
Roy Timmons. Mr.. Timmors came
here last week TO work in Mr.. Nc
Namara'S store and he was 10 assume
his duties Saturday morning. Friday
afternoon he was in the store and said
that he would be on hand. He was very
bright and cheerful and seemed 10 be
delighted with the prospects before
him. He did not show up Saturday
morning and Mr.. Mcnamara inquired
at his boarding house-Mrs. Lewis.
His trunk and clothes and all his traps
were in the room but Mrs. Lewis was
unable TO account for his absence He
has not yet returned 10 his boarding
the case. He came here from Burling-
ton, Kan, but was formerly OF Council
Bluffs, Ia. As stated, Mr. Mcnamara
is as much worried about his mys-
ferrous absence as IL he was his own
son. He took a particular fancy 10
the young man, for he was bright and
clever and was highly recommended
to him by a dear friend, whose recon-
mendation he prizes very highly. He
will not listen TO the suggestion that
the young man might have gone astray
in the whirl of Wichita life. for Mr..
Mcnamara insists that he had none OF
the traits Of young man that would
be liable to fall by the wayside. He IS
about 20-years of age.
