PEACE TREATIES PASS
But So Amended as to Cause Still
Further Delay.

Washington, March S.-Stripped of
the clause which it was claimed would
invade the constitutional treaty MAX
ing power of the senate, and with
many other limitations added, the
general arbitration treaties between
the United States and England, and
France, proposed by President Taft
and Secretary Knox as forerunners of
universal peace, were ratified by the
senate by a vote of rs to 8. The SEN
ators who voted against the ratifca-
ton were Lorimer, MARITIME and Reed.
The latter two are Democrats.
President Taft. before leaving for
his speaking trip to Toledo and Chi
cago, did not comment upon the SEN
ate's action. 1t is known, however,
he had hoped to see the treaties pass
ed unamended. Virtually the treaties
by the senate's action, ''are up in the
air." and in their modified form they
must be referred to England and
France.

On Failure to Make Repor


The allegation is made that Thomas
violated the statutes by failures to file
quarterly statements showing receipts
and disbursements of fees and to make
annual settlements with the county.
1t is also alleged by County Attorney
Simon in his petition in custer, that
Thomas some months ago offered to
compromise the fee claim with the
county at a sum in excess of $12, 900.
Neglect or refusal of Thomas to turn
over certain cash books and records in
his possession is also charged against
the clerk Added to this is the report
of the auditors in which they assert
that records in the clerks office are
meagre and that entries are erroneous
and misleading and do not show q COM
prehensive analysis of the various cases
of record.
These claims are the foundation f
the charges on which the supreme court
is asked for an order ousting Thomas
from office.

POLICE JOTTINGS.

Nobody works but father and he gets
tired of that. He asked his sons to &C
out and toll but they refused and
threatened to knock his head off OF
cut 1t on ana commit other violence.
Not only did they threaten but they
attempted to make good. Such was the
complaint of Henry Levels of Nortn
Topeka, which was filed at the police
station. His two boys, Henry, JUNIOR
aged 20 and Luther aged IS, have been
nVlng off his earnings all winter and
have not tried to and work. Henry,
senior, got tired of this last night and
told his boys TO get out and hustle
and told them not to return to their
home until they had made up their
mind to go to work. The boys made
many threats and to make good they
threw him on a bed and beat him over
the head. Luther had razor an6
threatened to cut his fathers throat.
The senior Mr.. Levels made a COM
plant and the boys were arrested by
Sergeant Dan Garden and Detectiv.

plain to the court at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon. The boys were inmates of

girls reformatory at Beloit. Elizabeth
Wilson's correct name is Williams and
she lives in North Topeka. She hoped
