IT WASN'T HOUSER
Man Thought To Be Criminal
Proves an AIibi.
He Was Held by the Sheriff Of
Riley County.

Manhattan, Nov. "a man sus-
pected by officials of being Arthur
Houser, the man with the So, 500 price
on his head, wanted for holdups and
murder, was taken from a passing
freight train late Tuesday on the re-
quest of Wabaunsee county officials
by Sheriff Schemmerhorn of Riley
county.
Examination proved that the man
was not Houser, as he lacked scars
that Houser was known to bear. He
closely resembled the escaped con-
vict and was about the same size. He
gave his name as Fred Dallouve, be-
ing from Faymour, Iowa, a harvester.
en- route to Fort Hays.
With him was a smaller man who
said he was Walter L. Poe, a farm
hand from Indiana, on his way to
Fort Hays. In his suit case were three
watches, two revolverS and some jew
elry, all of which Poe accouted for.
The men were released last night.

other troops aligned against the Bull
garians from Krivo1ak to Strumitsa
to relieve the pressure there and by a
possible flank attack threaten the rear
of the Bulgarian forces, is admittedly
problematical, but the appearance of
these fresh troops in the Balkans is
regarded in London as a gratifying
naturalization of Premier Asquiths
positive announcement yesterday that
the independence of Serbia was one
of the essential objects of the war and
Great Britain and France were in full
agreement regarding the means
whereby this end might be attained.
Tangled Web of Rumors.
With the exception OF this reported
landing of troops, the Balkan situation
today presents little besides a tangled
conflict of rumors, including one that
Monastir is already in Bulgarian
hands, and that the Serbians are al
most surrounded by the Austrians.
Germans and Bulgarians and are
hastily retreating to their last posi-
tons in the Albanian mountains.
These rumors, however, are discredit-
ed here, or at least are regarded as
premature, since the official COM
munications from Berlin, Vienna, and
Sofia record no such developments
The Austro- German forces in north
ern and western Serbia and the Bull
garians in the east continue their at
lacks against which the defense grad
ually yields ground, but the situation
is not vitality changed.
Germans Take Few Serbs.
The size of the German forces oper
ating against Serbia is fixed at $780,
900 men, according to an authorita-
tive statement that has reached Lon
don. Thus far the number of prison.
erS captured by this force is surpris-
ingly small. The AuStrianS have Off
cially admitted they have been able
to capture only twenty Serbian officers
and $500 men. The paucity of Off
GERS is taken here to suggest that
there must be many civilians among
the six thousand odd prisoners.
Petrograd furnished the information
that additional German troops have
been sent from the Russian front to
Serbia, and military observers here
believe the opportunity soon will come
to the Russian armies completely to
develop their offensive which had for
some time been under way.
Closing in on Nish.
Paris, Nov. 3-With the Austro-
Germans and Bulgarians closing in on
Nish from three sides today, there
were grave fears lest the Serbian army
be surrounded.
The arc of the Bulgarian front curv-
ed around the Serbian capital from
the Vrania region, through Prot
to Knjzevac. The AuStro-German
concave line swept first to the north
westward and then southwark through
the country to the south of kragu-

Returns Indicate Defeat Was
Smaller Than Expected.
Undaunted Leaders Hold Close
Results a Victory.
PHILADELPHIA is REPUBLICAN
Thomas B.Smith Elected Mayor
by Overwhelming Plurality.
Small Vote POIIed by Demo-
cratic City Chairman.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. AL
though the constitutional amendment
which would have granted the women
of Pennsylvania the right to vote was
defeated at Tuesdays election the vote
against 1t was not nearly so large as
was indicated by last nights meager
returns.
Indications early today were that
the plurality against the amendment
would be reduced to between fifty and
sixty thousand. A number of counties
outside of Philadelphia returned ma
jorities for the amendment while late
returns from others were materially
reduced.
The Results Close.
Eight hundred and sixty-seven dis
tricts out of 1922 in the state outside
Of Philadelphia showed that Al
votes had been cast for the amend
ment and 45,0S3 against it. In Phil
adelphia suffrage polled $500 votes,
while 105,S53 ballots we're cast against
it. Thomas B. Smith, candidate for
mayor, and the other members of the
Republican organization ticket for
city and county offices were victorious
D. Porter, the independent candidate.
The latter. who had resigned from
Mayor Blankenburg's cabinet, where
he held the post of director of public
the mayor and his administration, Sc
curing more than $1,000 votes. AL
though President Wilson polled g.
30S Democratic votes in this city, b.
Gordon Bromley the Democrat city
committee chairman, secured only g.
976 votes in 1,210 of the city's 1882
election precincts.
Suffragists Undaunted.
Suffragists refused to accept the re-
suit as a defeat and planned to cele-
brate their victory by holding a big
jubilee meeting here tonight DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, president of the
National American Woman Suffrage
association; Mrs. Frank Roessing:
president of the state organization,
and other leaders in the movement
were on the program for addresses.
At this meeting plans were to be
laid to continue the work for the
acknowledgements of women. Although
it will be at least five years before
the question can again be submitted
to a vote of tile people, suffra gist
leaders ann ouhced their intention of
beginning an immediate campaign TO
secure the passage of another amend
which meets in 1917, and also the
general assembly of 1919.
Ants Pleased Too.
THE tremendous vote cast for s,lf-
frage in all the eastern states where
it was voted on is a long step forward
in the great drive for complete de-
mocracy," declared Mrs. Roessing
Mrs. Horace Brock. president of
Pennsylvania association opposed to
woman suffrage said:
THE victory at the polls yesterday
is an emphatic verdict Of both the
men and women of the common
wealth in favor of the ideals of wcm-
anhood which have always prevailed
in America"

Our horses. harness wagons and farm
implements would not bring second
hand prices. Our little lumber yard is
empty-net bunch of shingles on the
place.
Some of our cottages need roofs
and flueS repaired and many need
papering, but this honorable board
tells us we must buy the paper We
must cut the grass in our yards. we
must either buy lawn mower or cut
it with a jack knife. We must keep
our grass and trees watered. To do
so. we must buy our own hose or wa
ter with a teapot"
Yet with the economy order for in
dividual wall paper, lawn mowers and
garden hose, the complaint recites
that the state spent 400 for over
hauling the headquarters building.
Nothing was said of this use OF the
funds in the economy statement.
This honorable board tells us we
must not draw any new clothes until
we have worn out all the old ones
when no old soldier has ever drawn
all of the s100 paid by the govern
ment," the complaint says.
No Visitors Allowed.
1.-The ruling that our wives shall not
have a daughter or other woman to
help her, or to visit, when il does not
cost the state penny, is arbitrary and
deprives US of just right. These
trampS and dead beats referred to by
Mr.. Harrison were our children who
cost the state nothing, whom we fed
and clothed out of our pensions. Pos
sibly you think it did not put blood in
our eyes to see them look longingly
over the fence for father or mother

and whom they fear now to visit.

LAYMEN WORK HERE.
Topekans Would Have Secretary for
This District.

A plea for a secretary to take
charge of the laymen movement in
this district was made before about
rs Topeka laymen at a luncheon Tues
day by w. Z. Dowdie, international
secretary of the laymen missionary
movement. Mr.. Dowdie is in favor
of the business and professional men,
members of churches, to back this
plan.
Dowdie told of the big proposition
that the laymen are facing and of the
wonderful results SO far obtained.
For instance, at the time the move
ment was started $S,000,0Oo was be-
ing used annually for foreign missions
Now $17,0O0.000 is being sent out to
Christianize heather peoples. Other
things have been increased in proper
ton.
w. E. Cell, a widely known travel
er, lecturer and explorer, in a briee
talk following the luncheon told of
the bigger business men who are back
of the laymeE missionary campaign.
He mentioned the late John B. Stet-
son, Mr.. Heinze, who makes pickles,
and Ferrins, the British statesman.
The luncheon was held at the Mills
Tea room. Members from various
Topeka churches were in attendance.

Former Congressman Mccall
Beats Walsh for Governor.
Republicans Gain Seventeen
Seats in Legislature.
SUFFRAGE is SHOWED UNDER
Small Vote for PrOgressives
Puts Party Out of State.
Big Showing of PrOhibitiOnists
Gives Label Legal Status.

Boston, Nov. 3.-The Republican
party regained control of the execu-
tive department of the state govern
ment yesterday after an interim of five
years, when Samuel w. Mccall a for
mer congressman, was elected govern
or by a plurality of 6,606 over David
L. Walsh, Democrat. The remainder
of the Republican state ticket was
elected by larger pluralities and the
Republicans made a net gain of sew
enteen seats in the legislature.
The proposed amendment to the
constitution granting the right of suf-
frage to women was defeated by a ma
jority of 32,0S3. Incomplete returns
indicated the probable adoption of
constitutional amendments empower
ing the legislature to enact laws pro-
Viding for different rates of taxation
on various classes of property and
authorizing the purchase by the state
of land for homesteadig purposes.
Vote Is Decisive.
A revision today of last nights re-
turns show the complete vote of the
state for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor and on the suffrage amendment
to be as follows:
For governor-Samuel w. Mccall
Rep, 2s5,s1S; David 1. Walsh. Dem.
229, 312; William Shaw, Prob, 49,
624; Nelson B. Clark, Prog, 1904.
For lieutenant governor-Calvin
Coolidge, Rep, $50, $40; Edward p.
Barry, Dem, 2O3,266.
Suffrage-Yes. lea. 400; no. 2e5, 4S9
The remainder of the state ticket
elected is composed entirely of Re-
publicans.
The Republicans will have a major
ity of 12O on a joint ballot of the leg
islature.
Progressfves Peter Out.
One feature of the election was the
dwindling of the Progressive vote to a
figure which deprives the party of le-
gal standing in the state. Three years
ago Charles S. Bird, Progressive can
didate for governor, polled 126,102
votes, and in 1913 he increased this
to 1865, running ahead of the Re-
publican nominee. Last year only 32-
las votes were cast by Progressives
for governor, and yesterday the party.
so far as Massachusetts is concerned.
collapsed. Both Bird and Joseph
Walker, last years Progressive nom
inee, supported Mccall, and the result
indicates that they carried back into
the Republican camp the greater part
of their following.
The Prohibition party attained the
status of legal party by polling more
than the required three per cent of the
total vote.
The vote cast for Mccall was the
largest, with one exception, ever
polled by candidate for governor in
this state, and the total vote was only
some ten thousand behind the record.
During the campaign Mccall di-
rected his energies chiefly to attack
ing the national administration. Walsh
declined to take up the fight on behalf
of President Wilson, asserting that
questions of national policy had no
part in state campaign, and devoted
himself to a defense of his own ac-
ton as governor and charges of in
visible government controlling the Re
publican party for improper pur-
noses

IGDaY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-WHEAT-Bullish re-
ports on the outlook for the domestic win
ter crop carried the wheat market upward
today after a show of weakness at the
start According to leading expert the
conditions of the seedbed and the early
growth in the winter crop belt are not of
character to give the vigor needed for
the vicissitudes of cold weather Unre-
sponsive cables and the big receipts north
west were responsible for the early sag in
prices. The opening, which ranged from
&c to &c lower, was followed by slight
additional setback and then rise to well
above Yesterdays finish.
Later sharp setback occurred owing
to profit king by longs and as a result
of a large increase in the worlds available
supply total. The close was heavy. 1c to
1Ac net lower, with December at $1.03A
and MAY at $1.04as.
CORN-Prospects of export business
gave decided strength to corn. Besides,
country offerings were small. After open
ing unchanged to 1S@Ac higher the market
reacted Il trifle and then advanced all
around.
A bearish reaction took place later when
wheat became weak The close was steady

PROVISIONS-Bulges in grain caused
provisions to rally. The market at first
had been tending downward result of
lower prices on hogs.
