NO MONEY FOR THEM.
Board of Control Raises Bars on To-
peka Rescue Home.

At the last session of the legislature the
Topeka Rescue home was voted appro-
priatto of $3.50 A year for 1908 and 1909.
The payment OF the appropriation has
been held up by the state board of
control because the Topeka Rescue home,
it is claimed, has not provided itself with
cases which are offered.
Today H c. Bowman of the board of
control asked the attorney general for an
opinion the right OF the board to pay
the money over TO the rescue home and
it is believed that the opinion will be IA
vOrable to the payment, but Will leave IT
to the direction of the board as to wheth-
er the institution is provided with ade-
quate facilities for the proper handling of
the funds.
The Topeka Rescue home is an fnstttu-
ton organized to do the same work for
coIored girls that the Crittenton home
does for white girls Under the laws the
Crittenton home must receive colored girls
and it IS claimed that no real barrier is
raised to the admission of such girls, but
there is a prejudice against colored girls,
and through the suggestion of the white
people the colored men and women of the
city organized the Topeka Rescue home
This rescue home has purchased a house
on the monthly payment plan and has In
Stalled a housekeeper. The equipment of
the home, however, is very small. and
there are no facilities for proper medical
care OF confinement cases. 1t is expected
that these defects will be renledied and
the home will then be allowed to draw its
S70Q from the state.

ALL GIVE UP PERMITS.
Three Druggists Who Couldn't Stand
Mr.. Schenck's Crossfire.

Evidence was not lacking in the pro-
bate court today that few druggists,
at least, who have been accused of vio-
Iating the prohibitory law even though
they have permits to sell liquor are not
willing to lock horns with J. ]. Schenck,
the county attorney and the other coun-
ty officials in their efforts to enforce
rigidly the prohibitory law in Shawnee
county.
This was the day set in the probate
court for hearings on the application
of the county attorney for the revoca-
lions of the permits of W. F. Kunz.
Page, the druggist at No. 226 Kansas
avenue. 1t was also the time for the
hearing of the application for a renewal
of which was made some time ago
by Frank Keith, of 404 Kansas ave-
nue.. These three drug stores were raid
ed recently by the county officials and
great quantities of liquor were found in
the Kunz and Keith places. There are
cases against them on the docket Of the
district court for violating the prohibit
tory law and there is also one Of those
famous injunctions against the premises
occupied by the KunZ store
When the time came for the hearings
on these various matters, announcement
was made by Judge Hayden that Mr..
Page had surrendered his permit and
that 1t had been cancelled, so there was
nothing more to do In that case. An
other announcement was made that
store advertised for sale. had with
drawn his application for a. renewal Of
his permit. This left nothing but the
Kunz case before the court
Mr.. Schenck, the county attorney,
was on hand to insist vigorously on the
proposition to revoke the Kunz per-
nit. officials of the State Temperance
union with some witnesses were also on
hand to help Mr.. Schenck out, If he
needed any help
Mr.. Hungate made a brief statement
why it was desirable for a continuance
of the case because of the absence of
Mr. Magaw and Mr.. Schenck replied
that 1t would be impossible for him to
be in the probate court again for two
weeks because of the large criminal
docket which he will have to attend to
in the district court during that per-
iod. Then Mr. Hungate and Mr.. Kunz
held a conference which resulted in
the announcement by Mr.. Hungate that
Mr. Kunz would surrender his permit
as soon as he could go to the store and
get IT. This was satisfactory to Mr.
Schenck and there was no further pro-
ceedfugs in the case.
