HONOR FOR MOWERS.

1t has been learned in athletic cir
cles in Topeka that Paul Movers,
former Topeka high school star, has
been chosen by the coaches of the col
leges of Indiana as the all-State guard
of the basketball teams of that state.
Announcement of this choice is made
in the newspapers throughout Indiana
today.
Paul Mowers is a son of ]. W. Now
ers, general car accountant of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
system. He is in his fourth year in
Notre-Dame university and has made
an enviable athletic record. He at
tended Topeka high school three years
and before he left Topeka was the star
of the aIl-victorious Y. NJ. C. A. bas-
ketball team.
In speaking of the choice, the report
today reads: Mowers wins first place
easily. He is. tall and fast and works
the floor we'll. Coach Harper, of Wa
bash, picks Mowers as one of the best
floor guards he has ever seen work"

DIVORCE AT LAST.
Pittsburg Normal Be Separated From
Emporia by Law.

Long sought divorce of the Pitts
burg normal training school from the
Emporia state normal school is pro-
V1ded for in the educational admin
1stration board bill which passed the
recent session of the Legislatures. This
provision, which was slipped into the
bill while it was under consideration
IN the house, enables the new educa-
uonal board to separate the two
schools and to give to Pittsburg the
long sought independence from the
state normal.
Two years ago Senator E. f. Por-
ter made a desperate fight for the
enforcement of the Pittsburg training
school from the Emporia normal He
failed in his fight and came back to
the legislature this year determined to
try again.
When the educational administra-
ton bill was up for discussion, the
friends of the Pittsburg school saw
their chance. They wasted no oppor-
tunities and slipped into the bill a
provision which gives the new board
the power and right to regulate and
operate the several educational insti-
buttons in any manner they may deem
fit. There is not the least doubt bur
that under this provision of the law
that the educational board may legal
ly order the enforcement of the Pitts
burg school from the Emporia nor
NAL and take the manual training
school from under the wing of the
normal and give them an entirely sep
arate head.

To Abandon Military Prison.

San Francisco, Cal, March 21.-Alca-
traz island, known as 1.-The Rock -
throughout the army, is to be aban-
doned as a military prison and turned
over to the department of justice as a
place of incarceration for civil offenders
against the government. Alcatraz has
been a military prison every since its
usefulness as a station of the coast de-
fences passed with the coming of the
higher power cannon.
No prisoner, it is said has ever es-
capped from 1.-The Rock alive. 1t is
situated in the channel a little over a
mile inside the Golden Gate, and swift
currents make it almost impossible for
a swimmer to reach the mainland.

Wallace Murder Case Continued.

The Andrew Wallace murder case has
been continued until the April term of
the district court. Inasmuch as the
Beers case required two weeks to try
there is not enough time remaining to
try the Wallace case and clean up
other work remaining on the docket.
The Wallace case, therefore, will prob
ably be tried in the first division of
the court sometime during the coming
term.
The case probably will be tried for
the most part by special counsel, en-
ployed in the case. Ernest r. Simon,
former county attorney, and Otis e.
Hungate, who took part in the defense
of the Beers case, both have been re-
tanned to assist in the prosecution of
the Wallace case. Simon is in touch
with the case, having drawn the COM
plant and put in considerable time in
vestigating it. County Attorney Will
lam E. Atchison will, of course, appear
in the case but may leave considerable
of the work to special counsel employed
for the prosecution.

FIRE MOTOR SIRENS.
Chief Wilmarth Adopts New Method
of Warning Signals.

In a few days screening, ear-spliting.
long distance sirens will herald the APP
proach of motor fire apparatus the
streets of Topeka. Fearing that accident
might occur account of the speed of
the silent fire department motors, Chief
Wilfarth has ordered the sirens for use
in this city.
The motor apparatus moves three
times as fast as the horse drawn vehicles, "
explained the fire marshal this afternoon.
Persons on the streets have become ac-
customed to gongs, bells and other warn
ing noises-they do not hear the swiftly
moving motors of the fire department.
AS a protection to drivers and pedestrians
especially persons driving in covered
delivery wagons and automobiles-we
have decided to use these sirens on the
motors.
1.-The cIatter of the ladders and the
horses hoofs of the horse drawn trucks
attracts attention on the streets and we
have little trouble with traffic. Although
we have had no accidents with the motors
we have found it necessary to dodge in
and out among vehicles and have had
narrow escapes. At one time it was nee
essary to swing up the platform of
the Union Pacific depot to dodge train
on account of the neglect of the crossing
Waterman
THE sirens can be heard for blocks
and will not resemble any other sound of
the streets. 1t is used successfully in
other cities and I believe it will be a
success in Topeka.

Cheaper Militia Shoes.

Washington, March 21.-A plan
whereby army shoes made under
United States government inspection
are afforded enlisted men of the or
ganized militia at half price, or about
$3.50 per pair, already has been
adopted in Maine, Michigan, Pennsyl-
vania, California and Iowa. Members
of the state militia throughout the
union are eligible to procure their
footwear on like advantageous terms
Company commanders make the pur-
chases direct from authorized manu-

each pair of shoes so issued and the
other $3.50 is deducted from the mans
company.
