Case of Lost Child Results in Charges
Against Police.

Charges of stupid work on the part
of the Topeka police department were
made today by c. P. Mitchell of 1414
Harrison street, whose child was lost
Tuesday and not found until late in the
evening. Mitchell declares that the
police appeared to take no interest in
the case and did not keep even a rec
ord or description of his little girl.
Four-year- old Elizabeth Mitchell
was lured from home Thursday morn
ing by the circus parade. In a few
minutes the child was lost and wan
dered to Central park, where she
picked flowers for few hours. In
the evening the little girl was picked
up at the Davis & FERN store on West
Thirteenth street. Later in the even
ing Elizabeth was restored to her par
ents.
Mitchell. who came here from St.
Louis a short time ago, was almost
distracted when he heard that his child
was lost. He Immediately called the
police and asked them to aid him and
gave a detailed description of the little
girl. Two hours later he called the
station and asked about results The
desk man at the station replied that
they knew nothing about the case.
Again Mitchell gave them a descrip-
ton. Then he asked the Bell Tele-
phone company to aid him and one of
the eompany's operators succeeded in
locating the lost child.
While the operator was calling sub
scribers, a man at the Davis & FERN
store notified the police that they had
found lost child. The man at the
desk at police station said they knew
nothing of q lost child and had no rec
ord of inquiries from anxious parents.
Not until the telephone operator called
the store was the child returned to its
home
Such work as was evidenced in the
Mitchell case makes the Topeka police

EFFECT ON PAPER.
John Norris Discusses Results of Reel
procity Election.

Washington. Sept. 22.-John Norris.
chairman of the committee on paper
of the American Newspaper Publishers
association, today issued a statement
showing that the defeat in Canada of
the reciprocity agreement has expand
ed the free zone for pulps and paper
so as to include all the favored ma
tions. His statement follows:
fCanada's rejection of reciprocity
raises a question with respect to the
favored nation treaties that is unique.
l of the reciprocity bill the paper and
pulp clause which was section 2, abol-
ished the duty on Canadian pulp and
paper subject only to a condition
precedent that the pulps and paper
must be made from unrestricted woods.
Section / could not go into effect
until Canada took reciprocal action,
but section 2 became effective July 26
when the president signed the reci-
procity bill. Canada's vote of rejection
will make section 1 Ineffective but it
will not impair the pulp and paper Sec
ton which cannot be nullified except
by a repeating act of the American
congress and such repeal is highly i'm
probable
..'The importers of rpulps and paper
from Germany. Norway and Sweden
claim that under the favored nation
treaty the products of these countries
are entitled to the treatment that Can
ada obtains when the pulps and paper
are made from unrestricted woods, and
that the tariff on those articles is au-
tonaticaIly abolished under like con-
ditions The treasury department Of
ficials say no similar case has eye-
arisen in this country.
