the temporary restraining order is not
in effect against the marshal when that
officer is armed with warrants made on
indictments returned by the grand
jury. 1t restraints, the judge says, only
the interference with performances by
means of raids or wholesale arrests on
view.
That the grand jury is in accord
with Judge Wallace in his latest plan
to close the theaters on Sunday by
arresting all the actors, actresses, mu-
sicians and members of travelling COM
panies and requiring them to give
heavy bonds for their appearances
later at trial, is evidenced by the fact
that it has given an order to a printer
for 5000 blank forms of indictments
for working on Sunday.
Martin Lehman, manager of the Or
pheum theater, said that the theaters
would be open as usual next Sunday
unless some additional action to close
them is taken in the meantime

PERSONAL INJURY FAKE.
Chicago Is Planning to Put an End to
the Business.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Professional per-
sonal injury takers. colonies of whom
have taken more than $1,000,0O0
fraudulently from the city in four
years, are to be driven from Chicago
and, if possible, to the penitentiary by
a triple alliance in which the city ad-
ministration is the principal factor.
Chicago practically has completed
an arrangement with the traction
companies and the steam railroads en-
tering the city to carry on offensive
and defensive campaign against these
people. Besides these parties to the
alliance. forty corporattons-ar VIC
tins of the personal injury takers
have been invited to assist in the
establishment of a clearing house for
the records of professional crooks of
this character.
This action was decided on by First
Assistant City Attorney Clyde A. Nor
rison after it was discovered that there
were whole families which, using
various names, were suing the city on
fake charges. Besides this. it was
learned that the professional Gin
valids", assisted by lawyers of a like
stripe, are living in colonies. where
they assist each other in robbing the
city in a systematic manner.
Investigation of some of these cases
disclosed the fact that a disinterested
witness could not be found by the
city because in an entire neighbor-
hood not single adult could be found
who did not have a suit against the

1T WAS A HARD week.
Troubles of Wall Street Come Thick
and Fast.

New York, Oct 19.-There has been
much forced liquidation in the stock
market during the week. Many stocks
have touched the lowest in several
years and sentiment has grown des-
pondent over the speculative outlook.
The crash in United Copper stock and
the fears of involvement of the affairs
of the Mercantile National bank was a
principal factor in the weeks unsettle-
ment. The reduction in the Amalgama-
ted Copper dividend, reports of the dis
covery of rebating practices by the
Southern Pacific and fears of coming
business depression were complicatin
factors. The money market frightened,
because of the stricter dis
elimination exercised by the banks
against collateral.

TO TEST THE LAW.
Friendly Suit Over Sunday Closing of
Theaters Decided Upon.

The city of Topeka through Mayor
VIM. Green and the city attorney.
F. G. Dreaming, got together with u.
T. Hazen, attorney for the Topeka
Theatrical Managers association, and
decided to enter a friendly suit to test
the enforcement of section 1908 of the
ordinance against Sunday labor with
relation to the Sunday closing of
theaters. An arrest will be made of
L. NJ. Crawford on Monday next for
keeping the Grand open on Sunday
October goth, and using this as a ba-
sis of the test case suit will be imme-
diately brought in the district court
and from there carried to the supreme
court. In this manner the constitu-
tionality of the ordinance can be test
ed in a short while, probably within
ninety days. During this time the
theaters will continue to run open on
Sunday.
When a final decision has been rem
dered it will then be possible for the
council to outline its next course of
action. Either to pass an ordinance
that will directly close the theaters If
the first ordinance is declared inva-
lid or to close up the theaters If it is
decided that the law is valid.

GOOD SHOW PROMISED.
OIympic's Bill for Next Week Has
Many Fine Acts.

What promises to be another good
vaudeville show has been booked for
the Olympic for next week by George
F. Clarke, the manager of the house,
which is admitted by all to be the
cosiest ten cent vaudeville theater that
Topekans have had chance to pa
tronize. a cosy theater, however
would not amount to much if the
shows put on were not worth seeing.
But the shows that have been put on
at the Olympic have been worth see
ing and the ones promised for the fu-
ture are said to be even better than
those which have gone before.
Among the acts which will be seen
next week, with the opening perfor-
nance on Sunday afternoon, will be
those presented by Hodges and Oar
rel, singing and dancing comedians;
Harrison King in a comedy mono
logue; the Dunbar Children in a clev-
er effort that is bound to amuse and
the Yalto Duo, who are styled as
European Whirlwind dancers. In adj
dition to these acts there will be an
song Nobody Ever Brings
Presents to Me-" by Miss Marjorie
Mason and a good series of moving
pictures.

she sang Bartlett's A Dream. The
tenor sang Blumenthal's Message and
the baritone, Schumann's Two Grena-
Rhapsodie and Chopin Etude and the
soprano sang Spring Song of
Becker's.
Madame Jacoby spoke in terms of
the highest praise of Miss Bessie Abott
who gives a concert at the Auditorium
tonight. Jacoby and ABBOTT are both
members of the Conreid Grand Opera
company. and the former confirmed
the opinions of the press and public
everywhere that Miss ABBOTT is one of
the most gifted and charming sopranos
of her day.

PLACED UNDER BAN.
Persons and Occupations Forbidden
From Business on Sunday.

regarding the criminal judges excep-
tons, the judge decided to issue ex-
plicit instructions as to those who

lions to the marshal will be in effect
only for that one Sunday. Others
may be included later when the mar
shall has a larger force.
No offender is to be placed in Jail
Sunday. The deputy marshals will OBJ
tain the names and the evidence and
give them to the grand jury Monday
morning. Indictments will then be re-
turned and warrants issued and the

no chance to be released on bond,
the Judge explained.
This means that cigar dealers must
close Sunday or be exposed to arrest.
Druggists may open their stores, but
they are not to sell anything other than
medicines, drugs, soft drinks or some
thing of immediate necessity.
Such places as these will not be mo-

cides whether or not the person Is in
good faith in his religious observances
of Sabbath.
