WILLIAM OF WED MUST
ABDICATE HIS THRONE

Rome, June 29.-King Victor and his
advisers were understood here today to
have decided that it would be unwise
for the Duke of Abruzzi to accept the
Albanian throne as successor to Will
liam of Wied, who made so dismal a
failure of his rulership that the powers
agreed there is nothing left for him but
to abdicate. 1t was said the Italian
government would like to put the duke
at the head of affairs at Durazzo if it
believed he could control the situation
but it considers the chance of this very
slim and is unwilling to risk the loss
of prestige his failure would involve.

IT'S WITH US AGAIN.
Automatic Telephone Question Re-
opens With Engineers Visit.

Is the automatic telephone ques-
ton to be brought up again in Topeka?
A stranger visited Topeka Tues
day. He was L. A. DeBerward, rep
resenting the Automatic Electric COM
pany of Chicago. De Berward has
been in Kansas City, installing 800
automatic telephones in the new
union station there.
The telephone man was here evil
IDENTITY ''sizing up the situation. When
H. D. Stroud was here for the same
company, he obtained more than 1900
names to a petition to the city gov
eminent to vote bonds to install an
automatic telephone plant. Stroud
has left Topeka and the agitation has
died down.
Tuesday Mr.. De Bernard arrived
in Topeka. He visited several persons
purported to be interested in the auto
matte telephone movement. He made
inquiries about the situation. He asked
whether or not the people here were
favorably impressed with the plan.
Mr.. De Berward left last night for
Kansas City and he will probably con-
fer with his superior officers about
the Topeka proposition later.
The automatic people say that the
enactment of the state legislature
about municipal ownership of tele-
phones will not affect their work in
any way If Topeka votes the bonds

H. S. GIRLS TO GIVE.
Simpler Graduation Gowns Will Leave
Money for Bclgians.

BY practically a unanimous vote the
girls of the senior and subsenior
classes of the high school in joint
meeting late Tuesday decided to wear
inexpensive gowns at the graduation
exercises in February and June re-
spectively, and devote some of their
money and their time to the work OF
sewing for the children of Belgium.
Miss Laura Ewing. woman associate
principal. and Miss Lydia Bolmar, In
structOr in sewing, were among those
who presented the plan. In fact the
senior girls had already decided to
wear simple gowns at the graduation
exercises next February. There were
125 girls present at the meeting and
they were enthusiastic over the idea OF
taking part in the campaign for Bel
gian relief.
Committee will meet late today to
make definite arrangements relative
to the sewing. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the work will be done on
stated days at the high school building
There were some dress designs on
the bulletin board in the office OF the
principal, A. J. Stout, today. which
were drawn by Miss Bolmar as suG.
gestions to the girls In their choice OF
gowns for graduation. The seniors
have. decided not to spend more than
SO cents yard. and many of them Will
make their own dresses. This would
limit the cost to IS or Whereabouts The
materials suggested include white wolfe
and dotted Swiss.

WHAT ABOUT REWARDS


Several Topeka cops are in peevish
humors these days. They feel that they
have not been treated just right.
At different times, within the past
two or three years, officers have been
instrumental in finding lost automo-
biles. There is usually a standing re-
ward for the return of these machines,
generally offered by automobile insur-
ance companies. When q car is stolen
the company that has insured it against
theft publishes a reward of $50 or 500
for information leading to the recovery
of the car.
The reward is an incentive to Off
GERS to look for the missing cars. FIRE.
quently officers have found cars and
returned them to their owners, But
then the insurers back down. and in
majority of cases, the rewards have
not been forthcoming.
A local policeman discovered a Kan
sas City automobile in Topeka more
than six weeks ago. An insurance
company wrote to the chief of police in
Topeka and said that a reward would
be sent to the party who found the
machine. The reward has not vet ar
rived and the officer is not in a plea SAINT
humor. as $50 or 800 would help the
payment of winters grocery and coal
bills. This officer. and others who feel
that they have been interested. saw
that in the future they will not over
exert themselves in finding other peo-
pies automobiles for their health.

Kansas City, Nov. 25.-The position
of divorce proctor in this city held by
