De MUMM in LONDON.
French Champagne Maker Who Will
Marry Kansas Girl on Way.

London, May 29.-Wa1ter DeMun1m
of Paris. who is to be married to
Frances Scove1l of Seneca, Kansas, on
June 2, arrived here today.
DeMumm, whose name is known
wherever champagne is drunk, said
that more champagne was being
drunk in America than ever before
and this indicated to him that the
country was in an excellent condition.
Mr.. DeMumm said that the prospects
for the coming vintage were not the
most encouraging, but it was a little
early to make a definite prophecy.
zone hears more about the cham
pagne they are making in western
America" said DeMunm. There are
those who say it equals the best that
comes from Epernay. Personally, 1
have my doubts, for after all, it is a
question of grapes and climatic condi-
tions, and even the best friend of
American wine must admit that we
have both in superior quality in
France.

WASHBURN
College Receives $4,000 From
Andrew Carnegie.
Completes Addition of S25O,O0O
to Endowment.

The last $4,000 of a quarter of a mil
lion dollar addition to the endowment
funds of Washburn college has been
received by Frank K. Sanders. presi-
dent of the college, from the Carnegie
Corporation of New York. The entire
fund with the exception of the Car
negie gift was contributed by Kansans
largely Topekans.
More than a year ago an application
was made for the s5O.0oO but owing to
a misunderstanding in the agreement it
was necessary to raise several addi-
tional thousands. The last few hun
dred dollars came in slowly.
The final application papers were
drawn up in such manner by J. Willis
Gleed that Mr.. Bertram. the private
secretary to Andrew Carnegie was con-
vinced that all conditions of the agree
ment whereby Washburn was to re-
ceive the $4,000 gift had been fulfilled
The details of the proposition have
been exploited in the State Journal
Suffice 1t to remark that the Carnegie
gift will go far towards assuring the
permancy of an institution of which
Topeka may well be proud and which
is one of the big assets of the capital

1T IS hot TODAY
All Heat Records for May Are
Broken.
Thermometer Reached 81
Shortly After Noon.

All Kansas is sizzling today
The temperature at 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon was dangerously near the 100
degree mark at Topeka and reports OF
excessive heat have been received from
all sections of the state. Previous heat
records for the month of May have
been broken at Topeka; and thermome-
ter registered 9S degrees at 1:35 o'clock.
The temperatures are avera ging Is de-
grees above normal for this date and
six degrees above the midsummer av-
erage.
Slight relief from the heat is promised
in the northern portion of the state
tonight, but Friday the mercury is ex-
pected to soar to a point nearly as high
as that reached today. However, the
weather map shows that cool weather
is on the way and may arrive by the
end of the week.
The forecast calls for generally
fair weather for tonight and Friday
This admits of the possibility of scat
tered showers in Kansas.
The heat is causing much damage TO
the wheat in the south-centra' and the
western portions of Kansas. The wheat
is beginning to suffer and likewise the
spring crops. Locally a rain would be
a help, but thus far no real damage
has been done.

Bulgaria and Turkey VIII Sign
in London Tomorrow.
The Other Balkan States Are
Expected to Do Likewise.
WILL LEAVE THE WAY CLEAR
For the Victors to Fight Out
Among Themselves
The Question of a Division of
the SpOils.

London, May 29.-It is practically cer-
tain that the treaty of peace between
the Balkans and Turkey is to be signed
at the British foreign office by the
peace delegates of the various states
concerned tomorrow. Bulgaria md Tur-
key have both definitely decided to
sign the document in Difference to the
wishes of Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary and there is little
doubt that the other three allies. Ser
via, Greece and Montenegro will do
likewise.
Greece and Servia desire to add q
protocol to the treaty as drafted by
the European powers dealing with the
question of amnesty and the conven-
tfons to be negotiated after peace shall
have been concluded. Bulgaria, how
ever, objects to the addition of this
protocol as she regards 1t likely to
leave the door open for further discus
sion and she has determined to sign
the treaty of peace with Turkey with
out any more delay and so to clear
the field for the very negotiations she
will have to undertake with her allies
over the division of the spoils of vic
tory.
In Sofia the speech made by the Ser
Wan premier yesterday in the parlia-
ment at Belgrade, when he explained
that SerVia desired modification Of the
treaty with Bulgaria regarding the di-
vision of territory, is believed to have
destroyed the hope of a peaceful set
tlement of the Servian and Bulgarian
dispute.

The Senate Will Strike the Diff
ferentiaI on Imports
Carried in American Vessels
From the Tariff Bill.
FOREIGN NATIONS PROTESTED
They Are Upheld by the De-
partment of State.
The President Also i'm Accord
With That View.

Washington, May Ex-senator Sim
mons chairman of the finance commit
tee, definitely announced after a con-
ference with President Wilson today
that the proposed per cent differential
on imports In American owned or con-
trolled vessels would be dropped from
the tariff bill in the senate on account
of protests from foreign nations.
Senator Simmons also declared that
objections of foreign nations to the
clause to compel merchants to submit
their books to an American agent in
cases of disputed valuation would be
met In both cases the state depart
ment holds that protests are justified.
The president upheld that view.
Chairman Simmons also took up with
the president questions of equalization
of duty on raw materials and manufac-
tured products, among them wheat
flour and pig iron. Mr.. Simmons de-
clined to discuss the presidents views
OH those points, saying no decision had
been reached but that he had sought
Mr. Wilson's ideas and would trans
NIT them to members of the finance
committee.
Chairman Underwood, of the ways
and means committee, when asked
about the probable action of the house
should the tariff bill come back with
an amendment to eliminate the per
cent clause said that personally he
favored the retention of the provis-
ion as one of the ways of building up
a merchant marine.
Il believe in discrimination in favor
of American ships" he said Foreign
nations discriminate in favor of their
ships and I do not see why we should
not"
Mr.. Underwood did not indicate
whether there would be any effort to
retain the provision if the adn1n1stra-
ton raised strong objection.
Senators on the subcommittee or the
finance committee working on the cot
ton schedule of the Underwood bill are
said to be ready to recommend some
increase in. the house rates. More than
a hundred witnesses from the New
England and southern cotton sections
are reported to have favorably impress
ed the senators with their arguments
that some of the cuts were too great
The committee also is expected to
recommend some changes in the cheml-
cal schedule among them to be the free
listing of certain dyes used in the man
ufacture of cotton which the house bill

Former Chief jenkins ImpIi.
Gated by 16-Year-OId.
Anna Minter Tells of Relations
With Police.
IN CUSTODY OF POLICE MATRON
Girl Said Mrs. Sare Had KnoWIS
edge of Actions.
Officers Gates and Saunders
Mentioned in Testimony.

Testimony duplicating former Chief
of Police Morriss Jenkins, at least two
former officers, and Mrs. Della A. Sare,
former police matron, was given by
Anna Minter, a little 16-year-old .vaif.
at the preliminary hearing of w. J.
Davis, charged with violations of tho
White Slave law, this morning. The
little waif declared she had had im-
IMMORAL relations with the former chief
and with Police Officers Jesse Gates and
E. G. Saunders, with the knowledge,
and tacit consent of Mrs Sare. SUCH
relations were renewed and continued
over considerable period of tina
while she was in the charge and cus-
tody of Mrs. Sare, the girl said.
Sometimes, when she had been out
late with one of the men, Mrs. Sarel
would scoId her a little, she said. and
warn her to be careful But there was
nothing beyond that She declared Mrs.
Sare consented to her making dates
with the police officers, and she named
the officers with whom she went and
told all the details in connection with
such excursions.
The last time she was with Jenkins,
she said, was two days before he lefe
clared she went with officers to AZ
house at SOP East Fifth street, which
house is alleged to have been operated
by Davis.
Saunders and Gates, who are impli-
Gated in the testimony of the girl,
suddenly resigned from the police
force about a week ago. At the time
their designations were handed in.
Chief j. w F. Hughes refused to say
that he was thinking of preferring
charges against them, merely an
nouncing that they had left the force
to take up other work.
The testimony this morning came
like a thunderbolt. The girl was not
shaken at all in her testimony, prov
ing herself good in remem bering times
and places, and vowing she could not
be mistaken in her charges against
the former police officers. The testi-
mony, however, did not connect Davis
up with any violations of the white
slave law at the address given, 426
Jefferson street, referring only to the
other number of East Fifth street. He
was discharged from the charge
against him only to be re-arrested
charged with similar offenses at 502
East Fifth street.
No action has been taken by Coun-
ty Attorney William F. Atchison on
the information received relative to
the former police officers and none
NAV be taken.

Increase of Nearly 1000 in
Population for Year.
County Assessor Places the
Figures at 5O,2S5.
INCREASE IN ENTIRE COUNTY
Shawnee Inhabited by Little
Less Than 10000.
Estimates Based on Personal
Property Returns.

An increase of something like 5000
in the population of Shawnee county,
more than 1000 of which is in the
city of Topeka, is estimated by County
Assessor Samuel H. Haynes from fig
ures he has in his office. The asses
sor, however. depends more upon the
new personal property tax statements
he has secured than upon the returns
from his deputy assessors, the latter
being admittedly inaccurate. The as
matters on hand in the assessment OF
property that they are prone to miss
population figures.
Last year Topekas population was
shown to be 46,3S5. This year the
population should run, therefore,
above the $4,000 mark, and Mr..
Haynes is quite sure such is the case
was 64,225. This year, if Mr. Haynes
estimates are correct, the population
should run close to 10000.
The estimates are based upon the
new personal property statements
brought in this year, which are be-
lieved to show better than the asses
sors' returns as to population the
number of people who live in the
county. Multiplying the number of
such statements by two, which is con-
sidered decidedly conservative, the
estimated increase in population is
reached.
Population of Townships.
The following table shows the popu-
lation last year and the estimated
population this year with the increase
by townships. The figures show that
shawnee county has an urban popula-
ton of about $4,000 with approximate
ly 10000 suburban residents:
