Fake Advertiser Took Money

Theaters and Stores Are Now
~HOlding the Sack"

AS the result of a fake advertising

their shows free Of charge.
Here's the story as told by s. S.
Meyers:
About two months ago a bright.
energetic young fellow with hearty
handshake and pleasing smile made
arrangements with four picture houses.
the Best, Cozy, Gem and Princess, to
sell tickets to grocery stores for adj
yertising purposes.
The young man had the tickets.
They were to be sold to stores in $65
lots and one ticket given by the gro
ceryman with eve: dollar purchase.
These tickets were to admit the holder
to any of the aforementioned theaters.
The theater managers were to report
monthly to the firm which the young
man claimed to represent. The firm
was supposed to be in Milwaukee.
The firm would then take up the
tickets and pay the theater manager
IN cents each for them.
1t is thought that the man sold a
number of grocery stores several hum
dred dollars worth of the tickets. He
then blew" the town.
The theaters hOnored the tickets for
several weeks and then reported to
the firm. The letter came back mark

Strenuous Counting In One
Topeka Precinct.
One Woman Clerk Gave It Up
and Went Home.

ward worked continuously counting
ballots.

o'clock and went home. Others did
her work for her and she was back on
duty again this morning. During the
fifty-six hours of monotonous work in
droning names and figures, the judges
each got just three hours rest. one
judge resting while the others did his
work. The clerks were not able to keep
going without rest, those of the board
who were able to took turns at doing
their work."
What happened in this precinct was
in a measure duplicated in every pre-
cinct in the city. Errors followed in
the wake of fatigue and when these
errors were discovered, more time was
taken in correcting them.
Frequently tired. half awake judges
in reading out the ballots jumped from
one column to the other, thus skipping
many votes. OF course only when such
things were discovered, corrections
were made. No ballots are thrown out
and all votes are counted when voting
machines are used.

TROUBLE 10 VOTE
Registration Mistakes We're
Frequent in Topeka.
Complaints From Every sec-
tion Of the City.


It would be interesting to the people
of Topeka to know how high the per-
centage Of errors in the work Of the
commissioner Of elections once ran in
proportion to the total number Of per-
sons registered. On election day and
the day following Complaints were gem
eral
Early ON the morning Of election It
became generally known that persons
who had registered and were entitled
to vote frequently were meeting with
difficulty because their names either
did not appear at all on the books at
the voting places or were recorded tn>
correctly. There was SO much COM
fusion that persons generally fortified
themselves by hunting up their regis
tration certificates and taking them
with them when they went to vote.

Further details from the scene of the

days. beginning next Saturday. it was
announced today. The foot and
luxurious stalls outside the stock
yards where 1900 fancy cattle, gath
cred from Canada and 20 states OF the
Union, are CHARTERED.
Eighteen cases were found among
them today, according to b. J. Shan
ley, chairman Of the Illinois live stock
commission. Infection of the others
is feared. Six hundred common cat
tie were killed inside the yards and
laborers were at work on the long
trenches in which the carcasses will
be covered with quicklimc, the
eighteen bovine aristocrats with the
plebeian brothers. The formal mo-
tice of the closing OF the yards Is
signed by the Illinois board Of live
stock commissioners and reads as fol-
lows:

day to protect their interests. They
say that the pedigree value OF the

Reports from Liege state that for the
last three days long trains loaded with

IN one day and were followed by eight
trains loaded with ammunition and sew

boats in sections. together with their
crews and war material 1t is believed
certain here that the Germans are re-
termined not only to hack their way
through to the coast cities but that
they also plan operations against the
English coast.
The torpedo boats and submarines
have been sent direct to Bruges, where
already: large quantities of naval re-
serves and active seafnen have been
massed. Bruges is an ideal naval base.

1t is reported that seven German de-
stroyers have been seen OF the Belgian
coast. 1t is supposed they have been
used for scouting purposes and that 1t
is the intention of the Germans to send
them into the Zee BRUCE harbor to ef-
feet a junction with the other Belgian
war craft there. The Germans have
laid mines along the coast from Os-

RACE FOR STEAMBOAT.
Rivalry Among Allies to Capture Con-
stantinOple.
FBy J. W. T. Mason.1

by j. w. T. MasOn.1
Without in any way suggesting riv-
airy to Russia 1t is probable that
there will be in reality a race be-
tween the Russians by land and the
Anglo-French forces by sea to cap
ture Constantinople. The mining Of
the Dardanelles has been such as to
make a successful water assault upon
Constantinople impossible
Nevertheless, the Anglo-French
fleet has begun Smelling the Darda-
nelles defenses and 1t is apparent that
Great Britain and France will make
every effort to seize the Dardanelles
and compel Constantinople to SUR
render to a battleship squadron.
This is the only way the two west
ern powers can Offset Russia's desire
to subdue Turkey single handed.
Neither French nor British armies
can be spared for operation in Turkey
and only the Mediterranean fleet can
be counted upon to represent France
and Great Britain in the Turkish OPP
erations. If the fleet subdues Con-
the disposition of Turkey
after the war will not be a matter
concerning which Russia will have a
paramount say; If Russian troops
alone overwhelm the Ottomans. Slav
desires cannot be successfully refused
in the peace conference.
