AT THE RECITAL.

A sense of pride in a near-local celeb
rity may have given some Of the edge
to the eagerness with which Felice
Lyme was greeted at her recital at the
Grand theater Friday night; for Miss
Lyme is a Kansas City girl whom a
number Of Topeka people know, this
one having gone to school with her, an
other having played Accomplishments
for her, and others knowing her in
various ways. Miss Lyne's rise in the
world of art was a phenomenal one,
and now when she returns from abroad
crowned with the favor of kings and
the light of fame falling on her pretty
young head, casual meetings with her
are wildly recalled.
Miss Lyme sang last night to an au-
dience that filled the house comforta-
bly,, and all her songs were encored
1t was her first visit to Topeka, and
Jeanne dare listened for her voices
with scarcely greater readiness than
We, when the newcomer nears our cir

The program was given up to the
lighter classics, opening with a num-
Der from Rossini, Una Voce POGO Fa,''
that has survived several decades of
popularity. She sang it with charm
and grace of style and with a perfec-
ton of vocal technique that reflects
credit on her schooling. The Shadow

Demand Made for Release Of Amefi.
can Prisoner i'm Sonora.

Nogales, May 2.-On information
brought here by refugees that James
ByinRton, an American, imprisoned
nine months at Cumpas, Sonora, Mex
leo, without a trial, was slowly dying
Of neglect, another protest was sent to-
day to the constitutionalist authorities
at Cumpas demanding his immediate
release. According to Americans who
have been aroused by what they de-
scribe as cruelties inflicted on Bying-
ton, former protests against his long
imprisonment without a trial have
been received with jeers by the con-
stitutionalist chiefs. Byington. who
is an old man and a native Of Poise,
Idaho, is said to be losing his mind.
The latest representations to the Mex
lean authorities state that it appar-
emily is not the intention to give him
trial and ask that he be set at
liberty.
The charge against Byington. on
which it is said he has been imprison-
ed without trial since August 8, 1918,
Involves a shipment of ore from a
mining claim. The refugees report
the American is confined in a dark,
adobe cell surrounded by filth and
vermin, clad in rags and half starved.
They allege prison officials refused to
permit Byington to buy food and the
prisoner in consequence of his treat
ment and surroundings Is losing his
mind

MARRIAGE IN JAPAN.
Most of Their Men Wed at 26, Their
Women at Fl.

At what age do most of the japanese
marry? The civil code sanctions men and
women marrying at II and IS, respective
ly. According to statistics filed by the de-
partment OF home affairs, there are about
200 girls who marry at the age of Is every
year. 1000 at 1s. and the number sud
denly increases to nearly 1900 at the age
of 90 Looking over the statistics of 1910,
there are 1855 girls marrying at q years
cid, and Is 221 girls at %. From q years
the number declines, and 1t may be safe
ly asserted that the majority of girls
marry at the age of p. AS to men, in the
same statistics, there are about 20 or 80
who married at the age Of Is: and about
1900 at II, the legal age. The largest
number is g, 4O1 at 26. and from Is the
mum err becomes less each year. 1t may
safely be said, therefore, that most men
marry at 26. 1t is to be noticed that while
the average age of marriage for girls in

and decreases with equal rapfdity there
after. the rate for men marrying does not
show any similar tendency in either direc-
ton. Against the 1900 men marrying at

Mill Builder Laid on Floor During
Battle at Vera Cruz.

. Kansas City, May 2.-Twenty-six
hours fiat on a concrete floor, without
food or water, was the experience re-
lated today by Eli M. Adkins of Kan
sas City, Kan. refugee from Mexico,
as he told of the taking of Vera Cruz
by the American marines. With Mr..
Adkins was his brother, Del Adkins,
Of Kansas City, Kan. and two other
Americans. All were employees Of the
Great Western Milling company. Leav-
enworth. engaged in building a large
flour mill in Vera Cruz.
: 1--WE were notified Monday before
the attack on Tuesday, to get out Of
the mill,' Adkins said. But it was
the old story of the wolf over again.
We had been warned to go before and
had obeyed so many times that we
decided there was to be no interven-
ton, but Tuesday morning the marines
came ashore. The fighting started a
few minutes later, and a body Of fed
tCral troops commenced to fire upon the
mill. We crouched on the concrete
floor. The pipes and other material in
the mill all around us were riddled
with bullets. We could pick them up
by reaching out our arms. and had
we attempted to arise it would have
been certain death. The Mexicans
never ceased firing until we were res
'cued by the marines the next day. If
the United States comes out of Mex
leo now, after landing troops on Mex
lean soil, no American can ever re-
turn to that country"

SCORES Government.
John r. White of Mine Workers Talks
About Colorado Affair.

Pittsburg, Kan. May 2.-"Our boys
in blue have gone to Mexico to COM
pei the Mexicans to salute the stars
and stripes while out in Colorado they
are tearing the flag out of our hands
and shooting men for daring to pro-
claim what it stands for" John p.
White. international president of the
United Mine workers of America, told
a large audience at Scammon last
night. Our great government has
seen fit to send our fleet and thou
sands of soldiers to compel Huerta to
fire FL guns in honor of our flag while
out in Colorado more men have been
killed during the past week than have
been killed in Mexico. And we are
told that our form of government has
not permitted anything to be done to
stop it.. Such Inconsistencies as these
are SO terrible that ultimately they
will rebound to the good of labor.
John D. Rockefeller, jr.. has lost
interest in the human value" Mr..
White said discussing the financier.
His life in spite of his riches is empty.
He will not be missed for he has de-
voted his great brain and intelligence
to money making"
