GIVE UP THE HALL.
Socialists Will Not Continue Social
Work.

1.-THE streets of Topeka are full of
SIM said I. Gilberg in speaking of the
fact that the hall at 112 East Sixth
avenue in which he and several 9TH
ers have been interested, has been
given up.
1T is important to know that hun
dreds of innocent girls right here in
Topeka are brought to ruin by white
slavers, and that scores of them are
brought to ruin because of the ter
rible economic condition. Very few
people in the city realize that there
are more than 800 women who are
forced to sell themselves for a part
or all of their living.
For this condition of affairs you
cannot hold the mayor and the city
administrati ton responsible 1t is large
~ due to our economic condition-to
the small wages paid in the stores and
shops and the fearful slavery of our
factories, and the terrible poverty in
the homes.
my experience in conversing with
the victims of these conditions, is that
95 per cent of them would be more
than willing to earn an honest living.
And believe me, there is not one
among them that has not a soul and
in whom you could not find more
mendous sums of money to erect
great church buildings, Y. M. and Y
w. G. A. buildings, but no one ever at
tempted to erect a structure where

a good thing for the Men and Religion

1T was necessary to give up the
East Sixth avenue hall where we tried
to interest the working people on ac-
count of lack of money and the inter
ference of the police department and
several interested in it. I have knock

thought would be interested in human

BUTTER FAMINE NOW.
New York Reserve stock Has Been
Exhausted.

New York, April 25.-This city is
experiencing just now one of the peri
odicaI "butter famines'' that usually
mark this season of the year. Reserve
stocks are nearly exhausted and I'M
der the stimulus of a good demand
and light receipts wholesale prices on
all creamery grades are advancing
sharply.
The usual shortage was not antici-
pated this year because of the late
ness of the season, and the belief that
the increase in production would meet
the enlarged demand.
However, the expected increase of
supplies did not materialize to any
great extent. Another reason for the
shortage in New York is the competi-
ton of several of the western markets,
in which prices are relatively higher
than those quoted in the local mark H.

few BOATS IN NAVY.
But There Are Always Several Ships in
Water Together.

Washington, April 25.-VesseIs of
the United States navy carry only
enough boats to accommodate about
three-fifths of the members of their
crews. AS the ships seldom. go to sea
alone, however, the navy department
deems that there is no probability of
a serious accident to one of them
without help near at hand, and there
fore does not consider it necessary to
provide boats to take off all aboard
at one time. This decision has been
reached after a consultation by a
number of bureau heads, held as a re-
suit of the Titanic disaster.
The battleship Delaware has a crew
of 945 officers and men and her boats
would accommodate only 545.

Topeka Men Form BeIvoir De-
VeIOpment Company.
To Divide Property in Lots and
Acre Tracts.
JOHN D. KNOX PROPERTY
Magnificent Home May Change
Hands Again Soon.
Several Acre Tracts Already
Sold, Buildings Started.

To divide the big farm into acre
tracts and city lots, and sell the mag
nificent home, Belvoir, formerly
owned and occupied by John D.
Knox, just north of Potwin, is the
purpose of the BeIvoir Investment
company of Topeka, which has been
organized just recently.
The Belvoir Investment company
was organized by and is composed of
the following prominent business men
of Topeka: Mr.. G. o. Knowles, Mr.
Mr.. w. A. NeisWanger. This COM
pany purchased the John D. Knox
property some time ago and are now
ready to divide the farm into tracts
of an acre and larger. There are
one hundred and five acres in the
property, seventy-five of which are
the best quality river bottom land.
This land is especially desirable, ly-
ing in close proximity to the city, adj
joining Potwin on the north and will
doubtless be sought for by parties de-
sirous of obtaining suburban tracts
to cultivate.
This particular portion mentioned
here is being advertised on another
page in this issue of the Topeka State
Journal.
LAS to the splendid home, several
parties are now figuring on purchas-
ing it, said Mr.. w. A. Neiswanger
this morning. I'VE will sell the home
with a large or a small tract as de-
sired. This site occupied by BeIvoir is
magnificent. The home is located on
the highest ground in and about To-
peka. a splendid view from any di-
rection may be had from Belvoir.''
Considerable work is now being
done in trimming the shrubbery,
cleaning and righting the ground and
gathering up the loose ends about the
mansion. Belvoir is a stately place,
has twenty-four rooms, is finished in
the best of materials and its ele-
gance is seldom surpassed in home
construction 1t is estimated that the
big home cost its builder $4,000.

Smart Millinery Modes.

It is rather interesting to note how
many feathers are being worn this
spring. and that on hats that have
come from the most fashionable mo-
distes. Flowers, of course. hold first
place in the affections of most wom-
en- at this season; still, some smart
people continue to wear plumed hats
all through the year-for all but the
most workaday events OF life.
Now and again one sees hats in
which the rival claims of flowers and
feathers are set forth in tempting
fashion, but the smartest models as
a rule are not thus distractingly
adorned.
