The dead are Harry E. Glooitch, his

the flames ana dozens of women and
children were rescued with difficulty
Two babies were thrown from an up
per window by their frantic mothers

WALSH HOPES HIGH.
Chicago Banker Will Go Before Parole
Board Tuesday.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 25.-John
r. Walsh, the former Chicago banker.
who is seeking a parole from the fed
eral prison here, will not know his fate
for several days. The federal board
of parole, which will consider his case,
met here today, but he probably will
not be given q hearing before tomor-
row. Application for paroles are tax
en- up in their regular order and
Walsh's is ffftieth on the list. The
report of the board will be mailed
from here to Washington and an
nouncement of the decision made from
the attorney generals office.
On September 1S Walsh had served
one-third of his five-year sentence and
was eligible to parole under the act of
congress approved June %, 1910.
The last obstacle to the granting of
the parole was removed last month
when the United States district attor-
ing indictments against the aged bank
er be dismissed.
The board probably will be in ses-
sion for four or five days. On it's ad-
journment all papers in the cases and
recommendations will be forwarded to
Attorney General Wickersham It
generally has been about two weeks
from the adjournment of the board
before action on its findings has been
taken in Washington. So if Walsh is
paroled, he can hardly leave the prison
before october 10.
Besides Walsh. a dozen other bank
ers are to ask parole at this session of
the board.
They are: Harry Timer. Chicago;

also presented false $40 bills in pay

Mayor Billiard refused to issue an or

But when the time comes it is known
that the other city commissioners Will
offer their objections and the mayor
will concur.
The city commissioners believe that
1t would be an insult to the fair wo-
men Of Topeka to allow the Beulah

here. 1t will be remembered that Beu-
lah is the girl who is said to have been

LIE is raffling in Russia:

This is rafting in Russia:
If a man has drawn a graphaphone
at a rattle should he treat the losers to
a keg of beer?
Several residents of Little Russia
think he should. They did not win the
music machine. Harry Devlin, of 110I
North Monroe street,, winner thought
he shouldn't. And thereby hangs a
bloody tale.
Harry Devlin, son of Michael Devlin,
Santa Fe section foreman, was the
lucky man. His name was drawn first
out of the hat when the canned music
box was raffled off at the Ingonthron
home 1112 North Madison street. Sun
day afternoon. So he took his mechan-
1cal musician with him to his home.
The Russians followed him and told
him that he should treat them to a keg
of beer. Young Devlin thought that he
might as we'll have paid for a new ma
chine and told them his inmost thoughts.
The Russians told Devlin what they
thought of such thoughts in chaste
English and German. They called
young Devlin several endearing names
and intimated that he was afraid to
come out on the porch. But Delvin
came and a general mixup in which he
was victor. Wounded feelings, and
bloody faces followed. The police were
called but the fighters fled.
Anyway where in prohibition Topeka
could beer have been found. The Rus
slams should have known better.
