ITALY TELLS WHY

Continued from First Page,

approached the Austro- Hungarian gov
eminent Immediately upon the inaueu-
ration of Austro- Hungarian hostilities
against Serbia and succeeded in attain
ing reluctant acquiescence in the Ital-
ian representations. Conversations were
initiated Immediately after July % for
the purpose of giving new lease of
life TO the treaty. which had been vio-
lated. and thereby annulled by the act
OF Austria-Hungary.
This object could be attained ONLY
by the conclusion Of now agreements.
The conversations we're renewed, with
additional propositions as the basis. in
December, 1914
The discussion continued from the
hrst days OF December to March, and Il
was not until the end of March that
Baron Burian offered zone of terri
tory comprised within q line extending
from the existing boundary Of Italy TO
point just north of the city o, Trent.
In exchange for this proposed cession
the Austro- Hungarian government do
manded number of pledges, including
among them an assurance of entire
liberty OF action in the Balkans Note
should be made of the fact that the
cession OF the territory around Trent
was not intended to be Immediately
affected. As we demanded but was to
be made only upon the termination OF
the European war we replied that
the offer was not acceptable and then
presented the minimum concessions
which could meet. in part. our national
aspirations and strengthen in an eouita
BILE manner our strategic position in the
Adriatic.
DEMANDS WHICH ITALY
MADE on AUSTRIA
These demands comprised: the ex-
tension OF the boundary in Trentino; a
new boundary on the Isonzo: special
provision for Trieste; the cession OF GER

pelago: the abandonment of Austrian
claims In Albania and the recognition
of our possession OF Avlona and the
islands of the Aegean Sea, which we
occupied during our war with Turkey.

NAMES TO SPARE NEEDS A new JAIL
Prisoners Dig Hole i'm Wall and
Escape.
All 1t Required Was Dull
Stove Poker.

Another reason why Topeka should
have. a new city Jail was disclosed this
morning when Earfs9hman and A. E.
Quinn, working oussazfine of S25 each
for trespassing on railroad property,
dug a hole in the north wall of the
bull pen with a stove poker, between
l and 2 O'Clock and escaped. On the
heels of the early morning delivery
another prisoner, Harry Miller, ar
rested Wednesday afternoon on in
vestigation following the alleged at
tempt of three. men to frisk an aged
cripple in North Topeka, crawled
through the hole made by Inman and
Quinn and made his escape.
Quinn and 1nman were arrested a
few days ago by Special Officer Cow
dry, of the Santa Fe, for trespassing
on railroad property. They were also
arrested for the same offense April
IA, and fined $40 each. While other
inmates of the bull pen were asleep
on the hunks early this morning they
dug a hole in the wall under a win
dow. By the way of the high board
fence north of the Jail they made
discovered when prisoners, awakened
by the noise, gave the alarm.
Miller made his dash for liberty
just after he had been ''sweated" this
morning by Chief Parsons and H Z.
Gaines, Union Pacific special agent.
who was to u great extent responsible
for his being picked up. The sweat
ing process disclosed that Miller is a
dope fiend, according to Chief Par
sons.
Frank PARCELS, jailer, has in his
possession between SIS and $50 be-
longing to Miller. Miller escaped
about II o'clock this morning. At a
late hour this afternoon none of the
three men had been recaptured. Plain
clothes men and patrolmen are comb
ing the city for them.
The rapidity with which Inman and
Quinn dug the hole in the wall dis
closed the fact that the walls of the
city Jail building are anything but
substantiaI. The stone is laid in lime
mortar, which can be displaced with
little effort.

Checking of the petitions asking

per cent of the total registration or

Miss Covell will make her report
to the mayor and commissioners at
the commission meeting tomorrow
morning. According to the city clerk,
large number of names of women
were blue penciled' owing to the
fact that they registered under their
own first name and signed the petit
ton with the name of their husband
In other words, the woman who reg
istered as Mrs. Mary Smith and signed
their husbands first name, Mrs. John
Smith on the petitions killed her
own signature, regardless of the fact
that she was properly registered.

cross of the Ancient Order of St. John
of Jerusalem was lost on the streets
of ST. Louis by Countess Annie De
Montague, of France, and was found

here last night by Countess Montague.
The cross is that of a pontifical
body of the period of the crusades. 1t
was given to Countess Montague by
her late husband, whose ancestors
were members of the order. Countess
Montague advertised for the cross. A
man who later told the countess that
he was q member of the Battalion

Partisan Apachos, answered the adj
vertisement and arranged a meeting.

this morning sustained the motion of
the Home Mutual Life Insurance COM

last Saturday by A. B. Quinton as at

certain statements not pertinent to the
case, and he took the pleadings under

they should be admitted.
The action is brought in the name
of a former representative of the
company for the recovery of an al

he solicited business. Edgerton's pc

an accountant to determine to what
Share of earnings he may be entitled

BIC BANQUET PLAN
Saturday Night Club Outlays
GridirOn Affair.
Five Well Known KanSanS to
Appear. on Program.
TWO TOPEKANS TO SPEAK
Mayor House and l.. M. Pen
well Are Chosen.
Thirty-FOurth Annual Dinner
of Famous Club.

Top line attractions for the annual
banquet of the Saturday Night club
were announced today when it. was
stated that at least five men promi-
nent in Kansas political affairs would
be on the gridiron. Among the speak
ers at the annual dinner of the club
May %, are: William Allen White,
Emporia; William H. Thompson,
United States senator; Joseph L. BriS-
tow, chairman of the public utilities
commission; Mayor Jay E. House, To-
peka; and L. NJ Penwell, Topeka.
Reports received by the banquet
committee indicate that one of the
largest crowds which ever attended an
annual dinner of the Saturday Night
ers will be present for the May love
feast. 1t is the thirty-fourth annual
dinner of the club and invitations for
the banquet will be issued in a few
days. Details of the program have
not been completed, although the five
star attraction is assured.
No subjects will be assigned the
speakers. They will be allowed to use
their own judgment concerning mat
tiers for discussion, although the BAN
quet committee may make kindly sug-
geStions.
In New Banquet Hall.
The dinner this year will be served
in the new banquet hall in the Mills
building. Probably 200 invitations
will be issued and that means that
tory of the clubs stunts have for a
number of years placed the annual
banquet invitations at high premium
and the dinner and program this
year indicates a new fun record.
1t is probable that William Allen
White, who is editor of the Empor.
Gazette and Progressive national COM
mitteeman for Kansas, will desire to
talk politics. No restrictions will be
placed on that desire. In fact it will
be encouraged. And in event politics
is discussed, 1T is considered probable
that the Emporia editor will tell what
he knows of the plan to elect Victor
Murdoch president of the United
States.
Thompson on Pan.
Then Senator Thompson may also
talk politics. The Thompson matter
may be a strictly Kansas affair
something of interest to the club
members. 1t has been suggested that
the now senior senator may tell why
he refused to endorse Hodges for a
place on the federal trades commits
sion.
AS for Bristow, his subject is also in
doubt Perhaps. it has been suggest
ed, the former United States senator
will take occasion to announce the
utilities commissions decision in the
passenger rate case.
Mayor House will have the same
free range in selecting a subject as has
been accorded other speakers. FLAP
doodle" or Women in Politics." or
something about the fun of running a
big city may be selected by House as
subject for discussion.
When the l.. M. Penwe1l speech is
reached, the banqueters expect to be
close to the Sunday morning margin.
PenwelPs speech will for that reason
probably be quite short. To conserve
time the possible Democratic guberna-
toria1 candidate may talk about "Se-
crets of the Orders to Which 1 Do Not
Belong"

HE FAILED TO SHOW UP
Manhattan Youth Arrested for For
feiting Appearance Bond.

William Harlos, a 16-year-old Man
haitian youth, came to grief this morn
ing when he was brought before Fred
Robertson, United States district at
torney, following his arrest at Man
haitian by a deputy United States mar
shall on attachment issued by an Ok
lahoma court, owing to Harlos's fail
ure to answer a witness subpoena in
a federal liquor case.
The youth forfeited his appearance
bond. He told Fred Robertson this
morning that he did not see a date on
the subpoena and thought that the
court would notify him when he was
wanted. He volunteered to go to
Guthrie, where he is wanted to testi-
fly in a liquor case, of his own accord.
Long distance communication be-
tween Fred Robertson, and the Okla
homa district attorney ended in a de-
cision that the boy be allowed to pro-
coed to Guthrie without guard. The
contempt of court proceedings prob
ably will be dismissed, officials say.

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

Simply moisten your hair with
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless). is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply molten your hair with
water and rub it in One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun-
dance of rich, creamy iather. and
c1eanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
OIL The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to
manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap. and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months-Ady.
