NO ICEBERGS NOW WHERE
TITANIC MET IT'S DOOM

NEW YORK. April lS.-Owing to
the fact that the Seneca, United
States revenue cutter, and the Scotia,
a British steamship, both on duty as
ice patrol vessels in the region where
the Titanic was lost last year. have
been unable TO find any ice present
in those waters, the principal trans
Atlantic steamship lines are now
operating their westbound vessels
over a lane sixty miles north of the
course which has been followed all
winter
The absence of ice is accounted for
by the mildness of the winter Just
ended. The most southerly iceberg
reported so far this spring was seen
on March % by the Russia, of the
Russian-American line. and was en-
countered ninety miles north of
where the Titanic sank.

First Contest at Fair Grounds-
shall's Band Leads Parade.

The auto poloists are giving the
people Of Topeka the first demonstra-
ton Of the new popular pastirne. The
game was called at 3 o'clock. The
poloists gave q parade shortly before
noon and continued until o'clock
through the business section.
Members OF MarshAil's band in q
big truck led the line and was fol-
lowed by the po1oists In six skeleton
framed machines. Tho polo machines
have been relieved Of all necessary
weight. The body has been stripped.
leaving nothing but the chassis which
is protected with guards made OF iron.
These guards protect the players
during a mixup and also prevent dis
abling the machines when turned ocer
In making quick turns.
The teams practiced in the quarter
stretch at the fair grounds Thursday
afternoon. The surface OF the field
was somewhat soft but this was i'm
proved with the use OF sand. Several
loads Of sand were distributed.
The practice Thursday was witness
ed by q number OF people and every
body assert I'd that the sport came up
to advancs notices. The players spill
ed frequently but their practice con-
tanned the desired Kest which indi-
Gated intense rivalry and an interest
