1T is GOOD BILL
Vaudeville Show at the Mid
winter Exposition Pleases.
Management Looks for Record
Attendance This Week.

Judging from the quality of the
vaudeville show at the Midwinter and
the Monday afternoon crowd, the at
tendance this week will come near
breaking records for Midwinter exposi-
lions in this city.
The show is we'll balanced. Dewey's
Dolls and Billy Van-''The only and
original-are the features the show
this week. Aside from this there is
the Greater City Four, a male quar-
tette, and Haas Brothers who do tri-
pie bar stunts that please.
The attendance the first week of the
show was more than $4,000. This week
it is expected to exceed this figure.
The crowds thus far have not been
at all inclined towards rowdyism, but
the hundreds that have attended each
night have been ION pleasure bent,
and they have managed to have a good
time all right
Some of the booths have found it
necessary to procure new supplies of
samples to distribute this week, the
demand has been so great. Hundreds
of Topeka advertising leaflets are be-
ing distributed from the Commercial
club booth. AS many as a dozen diff
ferent states have been represented in
the Midwinter crowds. and between
so and 10 Kansas towns Thus it will
be seen that the Midwinter is gaining
for itself a reputation that will be a
factor in making this and other shows
to follow a success.

MEANS GOOD BOUT.
'BattIer'' Deems of Holton to Go With
Sailor johnson.

"Battler'' Deems, the Holton pugi-
list, who is reported to be one of the
fire eating kind. has been matched
with Sailor johnson for the semi
windup at the Union Athletic associa-
ton boxing carnival Wednesday night.
The sailor boy and the Holton won
der will do eight rounds following the
two preliminaries- The main event
will be the Murphy-W ten round
go.
The program looks to be the biggest
offered here this winter, the dope on
the Johnson-Beems go making it look
like the standard main event for box
ing here. The Holton youth is touted
for a wonder and the sailor boy him
self isn't easy.
Kid Raymond and Kid Ward will
do one of the preliminaries. The bouts
will be staged at the Union athletic
quarters at 420 Kansas avenue. :.

1T WASN'T LOADED.
But Gun Shot McC1eery'S Hand Off,
just the Same.

A shotgun, inadvertently discharged
while he was cleaning it, cost Charles
G. McCleery, well known Topeka lum-
herman, his left hand. The charge tore
his hand almost to shreds, and neceSsi-
tated an operation, removing what was
left of it.
The accident occurred this morning
at the McCleery home, 121S West Sixth
avenue. Assuming that the gun was
unloaded Mr.. McCleery was busy clean
ing it. It wasn't unloaded, and as he
was working with it the load was dis
charged. His left hand at the moment
was holding a rod with which he was
swabbing the weap pom, and the charge
of shot more than riddled the hand.
Mr. McCleery was taken at once to
Christ's hospital where he underwent
an operation, removing the fragments
of his hand. He was not otherwise in
jured, and will be out again as soon
as he RECEIVERS from the accident and
subsequent operation.

Kansas City, Kan, while just across
the line an insurer must pay 40 cents
or a third more. 20
The statement declares the stock
companies favor the repeal of the law.
but cites that many stock company
agents, loyal to Kansas and the inter-
ests of the state, are opposing such a
repeal. 1t declares that a few large
property owners, who now have to. pay
more insurance, also want the law re-
pealed and the fighters insinuate that
personal reasons have induced legisla-
tors to urge the passage of the repeal.
1t is admitted that the stock COM
panies are losing money in Kansas now,
and that perhaps an amendment to the
law might be good thing, and one is
suggested in enlarging the powers of
the superintendent, and permitting him
to re-inspect risks. But the repeal of
the law, the Mutuals think, would be
a long step backward, and although
they have little interest in the measure,
nearly all of their insurance being writ
ten on rural property, they are up in
arms in opposition to the measure.

WILL REOPEN WAR
Balkan Allies Prepare to End
Peace Negotiations.
Fighting May Be Resumed in
About Is Days.

London. Jan. 27.-The drafting of the
note rupturing peace negotiations was
begun today by the allies.
The committee of delegates entrusted
with this important work consisted of
Michael Madjaroff, Bulgarian minister
in London; Professor Gaorgios STREET,
Greek minister to Austria Hungary;
to France and Count Veynovitch, chief
of the cabinet of King Nicholas of
Montenegro, with NJ. Politis of the
Greek delegation, adviser on
questions of international law. The
committee expected to complete the
note before nightfall and submit it's
work to a plenary sitting of the Bal
garian, Greek, Montenegro and Servian
delegation. However, even if the Bal
kan allies were anxious to resume hos
tilitieS, which it is currently reported
they are not anxious to do, at least,
Is days must elapSe before the guns
can again begin to roar.
Even if the draft of the note is COM
pleted tonight its revision by the dele
cation will take some time and the
final draft could not be presented to
the Turkish delegation and to Sir Ed
ward Grey as honorary president of
the peace conference Wednesday. As
it is expected the note will give the
Turkish delegation three days in which
to answer the expiration c. that per-
iod would occur on Sunday. so that the
Turkish reply would not be delivered
until Monday next.
Then the allied delegations will have
to notify their respective governments
ask Sir Edward Grey to convoke final
sitting of the conference for the Off
cial rupture of the negotiations and
also in order to thank the British gov
eminent for its hospitality.
This will take at least three days,
making it February s. Then the gov
ernments at Sofia, Belgrade and Get
TIME must denounce the armistice.
Working with exceptional celebrity
this could be done the next day, and
February IL following the expiration of
the four days notice required. In the
meanwhile the fortress of Adrianople
may fall and this is expected to be-
come the automatic solution of the
problem.
The Turkish delegates remarked this
morning that the Balkan allies had
greatly tempered their original ardor-
They now seem. according to the
Turks, to trust to the outbreak of a
counter revolution in Constantinop1e,
forgetting that even should it occur it
will be a movement led by the military
element and therefore strongly against
the cession of Adrianople.
Osman Nazami Pasha, the leader of
the Turkish delegation, remarked to-
day with a peculiar smile, che laughs

OPPOSE The BILL
Mutual Insurance Companies
for Old Law.
Bill Would Repeal Protection
to Small Policy Holders.

A fight against the Carroll bill, re-
pealing the present fire insurance anti
discrimination law, is being made to-
day before the senate committee on
insurance. The fight comes from the
mutual fire insurance companies of
Kansas. representing close to 10000
home owners who carry insurance in
the mutualS. The mutuaIs are repre-
scented by w. 3. Gasche of the Alliance
Cooperative of Topeka, president of
the Kansas association of mutual in
surance companies, and c. F. Mingen-
back of Mcpherson, representing the
Farmers Alliance, and vice president
of the National Association of MutualS
The fight is being made on the
theory that the present law protects
the little property owner against the
big ones, and compelS the large inSur-
er to carry his own insurance while
formerly he often secured it for less
than cost, and the difference was made
up from the smaller insurers Figures
to show that the citizens of Kansas
are saved in the aggregate of nearly
100000 a year in premiums through
the operation of law are set out in

Surance business in Kansas was in a

times in some cities and towns. Be

property owners bought their insur-
ance below cost When some one buys
an article below cost others must paw
correspondence more to secure a gen
eral average. If this system of charg-
ing a few less than cost and chargins
the many more than cost is right, then
repeal the law.
IF it is right to repeal this law,
then also repeal the law which pre-
vents railroads from Relating or

and shows an immense saving to the
rank and file of the people of Kansas
