CAPT. E. ". CLARK
= is FOUND GUILTY
Hopkinsville Man Given Long
Sentence For Betrayal
Of Girl.

Hopkinsville, KY, March 29.-On-
ly thirty minutes were taken by the
jury in the case of Capt. z. w. Clark,
charged with betraying a girl under
16, to bring in a verdict of guilty
late this afternoon.
His punishment was fixed at con-
finement in the State penitentiary
for an interminate sentence of not
less than ten nor more than twenty
years less one day.
Miss Alberta Mitchell was the ac-
cusing witness.
The entire day today was taken
up in hearing two speeches in the
case, C. H. Bush for the defense, TAX
ing up the morning and Common
wealth's Attorney Denny P. Smith
arguing for four hours this after
noon, this closing the case except for
the jury's decision.
The great crowds which have at
tended the case from the first pack
the court room to the last inch all
day. All the speeches were master
ly efforts, but Mr.. Smiths speech
this afternoon was considered one of
the most severe arrangements ever
delivered here.
The defendant received the verdict
without visible emotion. but his wife
and sister gave way to their feelings.
This has been one of the most
notable cases ever tried here. The
testimony has been sensational and
deep interest has centered in it from
the first. The trial was called last
Wednesday morning. but the first two
days were taken up in securing a
jury, two special venires having to
be summoned. The hearing of evil
dence was begun Friday morning and
concluded soon after noon Saturday,
since which time the speeches have
occupied all the time of the courts
sittings.
Capt. Clark was charged with Sc
ducing Miss Clark before she was
sixteen years OF age. At the time
the alleged betrayal occurred he was
coach of the High School basket ball
team of which she was member.
An appeal is expected to be taken.

At the Best.

Mrs. Leslie Carter, who plays the
lead in George Klein's beautiful six
part film, "Du Barry" from the IA
nous play, which will be shown at
the Best Tuesday, August "a, wears a
number of expensive gowns that are
sure to attract comment by the femin-
inc portion of the audience. The total
value of three of these dresses ex-
ceds twenty-five hundred dollars
and they were all purchased in
Europe.
The gown worn by Mrs. Carter in
the scene where she is introduced at
court, is a jewel brocaded creation
trimmed with fourteen ornaments. This
gown was designed at the fashiona BILE
Worth establishment in Paris and cost
1900 francs, or $500 in American
money. This is by far the most elab-
crate costume ever seen in a motion
picture, yet to masculine eyes its in
trinsic value remains a shrouded, i'm
penetrable mystery.
The entire production is character
lied by lavish expenditure of money
and a close attention to detail which
makes it an extraordinary example of
the modern tendency toward the beau
tiful and representative in pictures.

WATSON Asks Auditing of Edison

If other members of the city COM

of W. H. WATSON, city commissioner
of finance, the city OF Topeka may dis

since, according to Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, if the Germanic empires are
victorious the policy of the balance
of power must disappear. With Bis

chancellor evidently thinks that lib
erty consists in being the master This

Compel Peace by Victories.
Berlin, Aug. 21-(Via London).-
the reichstag, DR.. Eduard David. the
Socialist leader, said:
There lives in the hearts of the
German people, as in all other peo-
pies, a longing for the day of restora-
ton of peace. 1t were ill for human
ity if it were otherwise. The Euro
pean peoples are bleeding from thou
sands and thousands of wounds. Ev-
cry day of the war means further
frightful destruction of values.
Therefore, 1 point again today to
the declaration which our party made
in the reichstag. We adhere to the
principle declared on August 4, 1914,
that end must be made to the war
as soon as our enemies are inclined to
make peace.
Lust for conquest must not pro-
long this war unnecessarily. Emperor
William said we were waging no war
of conquest and the chancellor's
speech yesterday supplied further
proof. Unfortunately, Germanys enc
mics are not yet inclined to peace,
Notwithstanding their severe defeats.
Their leading statesmen only recently
asserted the determination to continue
the war until Germany is crushed and
their plans for conquest are realized.
They are still looking for allies
among the neutrals. They say time is
their ally and hope to wear out Ger
many'S economic and military power
by protracting the war.
IF we desire peace. therefore. the
only thing left is to compel them to
see that their hope is futile"

WILLIAMS THE VICTOR
Maurice Mclaughlin Loses Tennis
Match to Old Rival Today.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 21.-Tennis
history repeated itself today in the
victory of R. Norris williams, II, of
Philadelphia, over Maurice E. Nc
Loughlin of San Francisco, in the
final contest for the casino on the
same court on which Williams won
from Mclaughlin the title of national
champion a year ago. The score was
81. ga. 6-3. 6-3.
As Mclaughlin defeated Williams at
Longwood three weeks ago in a four
set match, the honors of the season
between leading tennis stars of the
country are now even. Both are en-
tered in the national championship
tournament. which begins at New
York on August so.

sor company has made a very mater

There is nothing yelled or myster-

so.
The matter is a simple business
proposition, and the proper officers
at the city hall are certainly able to

President Womer plans to open the
campaign the first of September in the
northwest part of the state During
October il is expected that the work
will be continued in this section of the
state and later in Kansas City and
southwestern Kansas. Last fall S15O,-
600 was raised in Topeka and of the
$250,000 remaining 100000 has al
ready been promised by alumni of the
college.
Dr. Shaw has had a wide experience
in raising money for the building OF
churches and for the endowment or
Fargo college in connection with the
conditional gift of the late DIR. d. K.
Pearsons. He was for five years con-
nected with Benzonia college, Ben
Zonia. Mich, and for the last twenty
years has been in North Dakota as
pastor, field secretary of Fargo col
lege, and assistant superintendent OF
missions. DR.. Shaw's last work was at
Williston where he succeeded in erect
ing a thoroughly modern church cost
ing $4,000 in a town of less than
5000 population. DR.. w. w. Newell
of Chicago, who is considered one of
the leading financial experts of the
Congre gationa1 denomination, has
highly recommended DIR. Shaw.
The Rev. Mr.. Schnacke began work
in Kansas as a home missionary and
has occupied many of the principal
pastorates of the state. Among other
fields he has served Junction City,
Hiawatha. Mcpherson, Great Bend,
Paola and Garden City For num-
Der of years he was superintendent of
home missions in Kansas for the Con-
Sregational churches. During this
period he visited all parts of the state
and has wide acquaintance.
DIR. Schnacke has been for many
years a trustee of Washburn college.
He has the welfare of the college
greatly at heart and will doubtless be
very great help in carrying the
financial campaign through to a sue
