Better Than Last Years.

Washington, Sept. S.-The Septem-
Der crop report of the department of

dition of various crops as compiled by

Der 1 was 1872 compared with 1913 last
month, 74.6 year ago and 1915, the
ten year average.
Spring wheat when harvested was
63.1 compared with 61.0 last month,
SS.6 year ago and $50. the ten year
average.

mated in 1909 and LA. the ten year

TOPEKA HAS BOY BAND.
'Stafford's Military Band" Is Name of
New Organization.

Topeka has a new band. 1t was
organized Monday evening at meet
ing at AIS Kansas avenue and will be
boys organization. Tho new band
has been named "Stafford's Military
Band" and when the boys have ac-
quired the necessary talent they will
give free concerts.
Carl Stafford, who has drilled and
organized number of amateur bands
in Kansas and who is a well known
band man said, concerning the new
organization:
The boys are all from IA to 90
years of age and all beginners. But
they are enthusiastic and will make
good group. Monday and Thursday
nights have been selected as the regu-
lar meeting nights in their hall at AIS
Kansas avenue. Any young boy who
wishes to learn to play band music
and who will stick to the organization
Will be welcomed to Join.
Another meeting has been arrane-
ed for tonight and if there are bows
to wish to join they can make the nee
essary arrangements at that time.
Many bands have been named
military bands when it is impossible
for them to turn a square corner
Ihls band will be drilled to do special
feats while on parade and a number
OF concerts will be given next sum
mer accompanied by military tactics. -

Marie back to the academy for an
other year, were unwilling to agree to
making that arrangement permanent.
AS Mrs. Butler is in only modest cir
cumStanceS, she has at various times
worked for wages in laundries and is
now keeping a boarding house on East
Crane street. Some small effort was
made to assail her habits of languag e
and two or three witnesses testified to
having heard her employ emphatic and
mildly profane expressions. That she
had fallen short in any respect in her
efforts to take the place of the little
girls mother, there was nothing to
prove.
That her award to the custody of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bromich, the fathers
parents. would probably result in con-
siderable material benefit to her was
pretty we'll established. as the elder
Bromich testified to his wish to pro-
vide for her in every detail until she
small estate left by the mother intact
until that time. The relations between
them and the little girl, according to
all the evidence, have always been af-
fectiOnate, SO there was no reason ap-
parent for believing the child would
suffer any disappointment if given to
them, despite her own preference for
the other grandmother.
Nowhere in the case were the claims
of the father, Walter Bromich, particu-
larly asserted He is employed in his
the child's support, but his own claim
for the little girls possession was
based upon the ability of his father
and mother to look after rather than
upon his own. His second marriage re-
suited in divorce suit.

ON $4,000 CAPITAL.
Cotton Brokers Accumulate Debts Ag-
gregating $S.OOO,OOO.

Jackson, Miss. Sept. S.-Sensational
evidence relative to the details of the
alleged fraudulent methods of the de-
funct Steele-Miller company cotton
factory at Corinth. Miss. developed
during the taking of dispositions in the
United States bankruptcy court here
today.
Figures compiled by Accountant Ell
lott show that the liabilities of the
firm exceed the assets by more than
100000 and that the working capt.
tai of the company did not exceed
$4,000.
No effort has been made to ascertain
how far back the series of alleged
frauds perpetrated on European spin
ners extends, but testimony has been
given that the Steele-Miiler company
entered the new cotton year on Sep
TENDER 1, 1909, with a shortage of
5000 bales.
In other words, they are charged
with having issued bogus bills of lad
ing for cotton that did not exist.
A few weeks later the firm owed
Scheuch of Havre, France, $4,000
bales, for which it is alleged bogus bills
of lading had been issued and then
transferred it's business to firm in
Bremen, with whom. T. it became in
volved for $4,000 bales.

AIRSHIP IS HERE.
Strobel Craft Arrives, Ready for
Flights at Fair.

The Strobel airship is now at the
fair grounds.
There is usually a certain degree of
uncertainty connected with a contract
for air craft flights as an accident may
compel the aeronauts to cancel dates,
so it was natural that the management
of the fair was gratified to see enter
ing the ground early this afternoon a
big wagon of transfer company load
ed with the dirigible balloon, which is
booked to fly around the state house
dome Sunday afternoon.
According to the contract, four
flights of the air craft will be made
daily.

Question of Possession OF Little
Marie Bromich. "a

In A SISTERS SCHOOL

N A SISTERS SCHOOL
Judge Dana Takes the Case
Under Amusement.

A suit for the custody of Marie Bro-
mich, the 11-year-old granddaughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bromich and of
Mrs. Sarah Butler, now awaiting de-
cisioni in the Shawnee county district
court, commands considerable interest
among residents of the East SIDE where
the two families are well known. It's
trial occupied most of the Wednesday
session of court.
Marie Bromich was born to the mar
riage of Susie Butler and Walter Bro
mich, son of Joseph Bromich who is
works and a wealthy man. While the
child was yet small the parents were
divorced and each remarked. Marie
was awarded to her mothers custody
but spent most Of her time after conf
ing of school age in the st. Teresa
academy at Kansas City. In vacation
times she visited in Topeka with her
mother ard with both sets of grand
parents. On July % of this year the
mother who for three years had been
the wife of Gus Miller, a locomotive
inspector for the Santa Fe, died The
action for possession of the child was
then brought on the part of the father.
Among those who appeared upon the
witness stand were the father and step
father of Marie Bromich, Mrs. Sarah
Butler, the maternal grandmother, and
the two other grandparents, Mr.: and
Mrs Joseph Bromich Another witness
was Sister Evelyn, president of the St
Teresa academy.
When the nun took her seat on the
witness stand she explained her pres
ence in Topeka as due to her schools
interest in the insurance money to be
paid by the Knights and Ladies of Sc
curitv on a policy upon the life of Mrs.
Gus Miller 1t had been shown in other
testimony that Mrs. Miller had made
the school a beneficiary in the sum of
81 900 in consideration of an agreement
that Marie's education be continued
there so far as the curriculum of the
academy went. Sister Evelyn testified
regarding the general character of the
school. which was shown to be good
one. and stated that special attention
of the little girl VINO had shown a great
natural aptitude in that direction.
There was no argument in the case
the Doint at issue being merely the
question of the best interest of the
child and the testimony covered the
apparent ability and qualifications OF
the respective grandparents to care for
the wishes of the dead mother and The
child's own preference as to her owl
disposition. Mrs. Butler. large, cap

DRUGGISTS ARRESTED.
Three Charged With Illegal Sales of
Jamaica Ginger.

Today there fell the blow upon the
drug stores which the police. after
their investigation of the Jamaica gin
ger trade in Topeka, promised would
be delivered. and three proprietors
were booked at the police station be-
fore noon. other arrests. it is predict
ed, will follow.
81 do not consider that I am max
ing an experiment. replied Chief of
Police Jenkins today when the sugges-
ton was made tht the liquor selling
ordinances of the city were not so
drawn as to prohibit the sale of an
ginger which has always been sold by
druggists without restriction as q
medicine Jamaica ginger is sold
regularly in Topeka as an intox1cant
by a number of druggists. 1t is far
more harmful poison than the ordinary
bad whisky handled by bootleggers
We have stopped the sale of Peruna
and Hostetter's Bitters, both of which
used formerly to be sold to evade the
prohibitory law. and l believe we can
stop the reckless sale of Jamaica GIN
ger am laying my hands on every
druggist against whom 1 can get evil
dence and do not propose to be salts
fed with trying a single case as test
of our power. We will take them all
and if our evidence is sufficient to
satisfy the police court of violation
of the law we will stay with our cases
as far as the druggists care to fight
them. The selling of Jamaica ginger
now in question is a violation of the
spirit of the law if not of the letter.
Some good detective work has been
done in connection with the present
cases, which are against the Chester
field drug store, the Brown drug store
at 4O4 Kansas avenue and the Wilson
drug store at Ala East Fourth street
Patrolman G. w. Fribance worked UT
the cases and made the three arrests
The names booked are J. w. Brown
Ralph Lowry and w. H. Wilson
Lowry is only a clerk at the Chester
