SIGNALS OF DISTRESS
Crippled Greek Steamer Still Making
Desperate Calls for Help.

New York. Dec 31-Radio mes
sages picked up by shore stations
brought the information that the Grip
pied steamer Thessaloniki, which has
been slowly nearing this port since
last Wednesday. was burning signals
of distress and that the steamer Flori-
eel was searching for her. The 1oca-
ton of the ThesSaloniki was in doubt
but one message had reported her 100
miles east of Sandy Hook.
Whether the coast guard cutter
Seneca which left here Wednesday
morning to succor the distressed
steamer had reached her has not been
learned early today.
Messages sent by the Florizel today
were the first to indicate that Thes-
saloniki was burning distress signals.
One received at 5 g. m. read:
Now looking for the Thessaloniki.
Cannot see distress signals which she
is burning. VIII wait till daylight"
1t was suggested that the Thessaloni-
XII was burning the signals to enable
the other vessels to find her in the
night.
Rescue Cutter Reports.
Newport, Dec. 31.-The coast guard
cutter Seneca which went to the as
sistance of the disabled Greek steamer

Siaconsett wireless station at 10

Thessaloniki, but was unable to estab-
liSh direct communication with her
because of poor wireless condition.

at sea asking them to assist in the
search and to be prepared to render
immediate aid. 1t was said that one

was due to the fact that her wireless

on June %. The June report was the
record for the state banks.
When the September report was is
sued, it was asserted that many of the
farmers were holding their crops for
higher prices. Much of the wheat had
not been threshed and only a small per
cent of the grain had found its way
to market. The Kansas corn crop was
also in the fields. Revenues from
wheat and corn during the last three
months are said to have tota1led mil
lions of dollars.
On the other hand. farmers in the
stock growing districts have been
heavily hit by the slump in stock
prices and deposits in these districts
have been weak and wobb1y. A clean
up of the years expenses may also
have a very material effect on state
banking conditions and the returns
over the state are a matter of uncer-
tainty.
1T is hard to forecast conditions,
especially at this season of the year."
said Benson late this afternoon in dis
cussing his call. Il am inclined to dis
count the enthusiasm of many bankers
and business men as to the amount of
money which the farmers have real
lied from crops during the last few

INSANITY ON
The INCREASE
Records for the Year Show Big
Jump Over 1914.
Freshness at Shawnee Court
House Has Been Good.
DIVORCE CASES NUMBER 246
Six Fewer Than in the Year
f914-Marriages S31.
Damage Suits Are a FaEOrite
Form of Litigation

The year of 1915 was another ban
ner year for Shawnee county courts.
Records of the tribunals at the court
mouse show that insanity is on the
increase. There is a big jump over
1914 in the number of civil and GRIM
inal actions in the district court. Di-
vorce in 1915 was about on par with
1914 as were weddings. There was a
slight decrease in the civil and GRIM
inal suits filed in the court of Topeka.
More than one-fourth of the mar
riage licenses issued in the office of
Hugh MacFarland, probate judge,
were offset by divorce petitions in the
office Of Charles Bowers, clerk of the
district court Eight hundred and
thirty-one wedding licenses were is
sued by Miss Anne Ballard and Mrs.
Mary Chaplin, probate court clerks In
Bowers's office 246 divorce cases were
filed In 1914 the number of divorce
cases was ESQ and the wedding Ii
censes totaled SAT. More than one
third OF the total number of civil
cases filed in the. district court were
divorce cases The number of civil
cases filed was TO3- The number in
1914 was 67S.
Damage Suits Popular.
Damage suits run the divorce cases
a close second In fact, it is growing
mort and more every year to be pop
ular to sue for damages. If Mrs. B.
gees to visit Mrs A. and accidentally

ing herself. she summons an attor ley
and alleging that Mrs AS stairway
was not safe anyway and that Mrs. A.
acted maliciously negligent and with
Dremeditated aforethought allowed
her to walk on the stairs, she files
petition for damages.
But One Breach of Promise suit.
The number of criminal cases filed
IN the district court in 1915 was $40.
In 1914 the number was $40. Only
one breach of promise suit was filed
this year
In 1915 sixty-two insanity COM
plants were filed in the probate court.
With the possible exception of one
or two all the cases resulted in con-
victions. In 1914 the number was
only s. Two hundred and two es-
tates were opened up in the probate
court IN 1914. In 1915 the number
decreased and was only 1S9.
In the office of Douglas Graham. I
clerk of the court of Topeka, 42S
criminal cases were brought by the
state in 1915. The number in 1914
