Four Neutral Mem Der.


 The exchange has four neutral members, two Americans and two Danes, Gordius Nelson, Dane, lost no time in taking up the cudgel for the neutral. He addressed the fol- lowing letter to the secretary of the exchange:
 Dear Sir:
 Referring to the notice postT by the committee today with regard to neutral members of the exchange dealing with so-called enemy sub jects, will you be good enough to in form your committee that I, as 8 neutral, have dealt wSh and intend to continue to deal with, Germans, Austrians, Turks and Bulgarians? A neutral does not take sides, and 1t would be as improper, if the com to deal with Britishers if I declined to deal with subjects of the other sav- age belligerents.
 Expulsion Only T/medy. Neither the committee nor the British government can impose juris- diction on me. Their only remedy, if they desire to force their attitude, is to attempt an expulsion-if they can do it. The next step would be for the committee of the Shanghai Club to forbid neutlNl members to 1 deal with the enemies of Great Brit ain or to suffer expulsion. That I write so plainly is because 1 the committee have adopted the Com mittee of Safety inquisition of the French Revolution with it's attendant secret investigations, accusations and general hole-and-corner policy, which is one of the most despicable forIs i of rule, instead of frankly asking neu- i tral members of their doings. Have the committee quite lost their heads,

UP TO ENGLAND
Germany'S Reply to the Note of
the United States.
Willing to Do Right Thing if
Great Britain VIII.

Washington, March 4.-There must
be further negotiations between the
United States and England before
Germany entirely agrees to safeguard
submarine warfare. This position was
taken in Germanys reply to the
American suggestion for protecting
neutrals, made public this afternoon
by the state department.
Officials viewed the answer as
friendly but with reservations depend
ent on the English attitude.
Germany said she saw in the Unit
ed States message new evidence of
the friendly feeling of the American
government toward the German gov
eminent, which are fully reciprocated
by Germany
Summarized, Germany's answer is:
Germany desires to conduct her
maritime warfare according to rules
which consider neutral interests and
humanity'S dictates. If Germany's ad-
Versar1eS will observe the declaration
of London, Germany will be inclined
to draw the proper conclusion"
America s message appears to fur
nlsh suitable basis for consid ering
questions which have arisen.
Germany is notinclined-to forego
use of anchored mines for offensive
purposes But is willing not to use
floating mines. Germany would not
undertake to use her submarines to
attack merchantmen except when nee
essaIy to enfOrceSthe right of visit and
search, except in case of enemy
vessel carrying contra band
This restriction of the use of sub
marines, however, is contingent on
abandonment of the use of the Amer
lean or other neutral flags to help en-
emy's ships. Enemy merchant ships
too, must abstain from arming them
selves.
Germany agrees to American SUI
perVislon of foodstuff importation with
the understanding that these products
shall go solely to the civil population.
Forage must come in. Raw ma
terial, in the declaration of London
free list must be treated with the same
principle as foOdstuff.
Germany renews the hint for an
embargo on American munition ex-
port.

WANTS A new TRIAL.
Art Level Claims Jury Was Guilty of
Misconduct in His Case.

Motion for a new trial for Art
Level, found guilty of stealing chick
ems in the second division of the dis
trict court by a jury Wednesday, has
been filed in the district court by
Levels attorneys, Hazen and Page.
The new trial is asked on grounds
that the jury was guilty of misconduct
tending to prevent a fair and due con-
sideration of the case, that the verdict
was decided by means other than a
fair expression of opinion on the part
of the jurors and that the court mis-
directed the jury in a material matter
of the law.
The motion also claims that the
court admitted illegal testimony into
the trial and that new evidence in the
case has been discovered.
The Level trial consumed three
days proceedings in the second di-
vision court room before Judge Whit
comb. Testimony rivaled in detail
only by the famous Hammatt black
hand case was introduced. The jury
was out three hours on deliberation.

ON EMPLOYEES BILL.
Senate in Fight Over kinl>eI Bill to
Cut Big List.

The Legislative employees pay bill
is before the senate this afternoon,
having been postponed from the
morning session after the development
OF an interesting fight directed against
the whole measure as being improper
ly drawn and inadequate. The kinke ell
bill carries an order for Sc employees
in the senate and about the same
number in the house of representa-
tives to do the work now done by ap-
proximately 115 in the senate and 100
in the house. 1t provides a scale of
paw based on the class of work done,
reducing the pay of secretary of the
senate and clerk of the house, each of
whom now receives 1000 for the Ses-
sion, to $500, cutting down the pay of
pages and messengers to 50 a day and
raising the pay of some of the more
responsible employees who now re-
ceive SO to IS.
Senator A. B. Carney of Cloud
county and Senator 1. NJ. Kinds of
Labette attacked the kinkel bill on
the ground that it provided made
quate help in the document room and
perhaps in other departments while it
reading clerks and other officers who
are given advances. Carney'S motion
to strike out the enacting clause was
voted down by the Republican side
of the house, which stood solidly for
eral Democratic votes with it. Sena-
tor Kinds announced that If the bill
were finally worked out on the floor
of the senate he would offer amend
ments to every provision of the meas

TICKLING OF FEET
Twice County Prisoner Tried
to Escape Today.
Mckinley Terry Struck Two
Deputy Sheriffs in One Day.

A desperate attempt to beat up ].
J. Holman, deputy shriff, and escape
a few minutes after he had entered a
plea of guilty to grand larceny in the
district court and had been sentenced
to the reformatory at Hutchinson by
Judge Whitcomb, was made about
noon today by Mckinley Terry. Terry
admitted the theft of about 500 pounds
of lead from the city waterworks'
supply house.
When Holman took Terry out of
the court house and was walking with
him in front of the county jail, Terry
suddenly broke away from the offer
and struck Holman. Holman seized
Terry and succeeded in dra gging him
up the Jail steps. Terry, as a result of
his attempted escape, is now in sol
itary" at the county Jail.
The attempt to escape from Hol-
mans clutches at noon was the sec
ond try for freedom on Terrys part
today. When Ed. Carver, deputy, took
Terry from the Jail to the court room
this morning he made Il similar at
tempt on the officer.

THE "CAPITAL CITYS"
Tim Donovan Makes First Suggestion
For Remaining Topeka Ball Team.

The first new name to be suggest ed
for the Topeka baseball team is that
of Capital City" telephoned to the
State Journal this afternoon by Tim
Donovan, former chief of police and a
we'll known baseball fan. Mr.. Dono-
van had read the story in the first ed
ton of tOday'S State Journal in which
it was stated that John Savage want
ed new name for his team, and he
Immediately telephoned his choice to
the Journal.
The Capital Citys' was used as "a
name for one of the earliest baseball
teams in Topeka, when games We're
played at the old fair grounds and
Dick Cooley was still a kid. 1t has
the advantage of being distinctive, and
also would prevent the possibility of
confusing the team with that of some
other town if it were adopted.
Another name that has been sus-
gested is that of the "Savages." This
suggestion was made by Otto Ra I'm,
of PIG Buchanan street. The fact thai
Mr.. Savage is the sole owner of the
club makes this name appropriate,
and there is probably no other club in
the country with a similar name
Rain also suggested that the name
Tops might be appropriate. The
idea for this was originated by taking
the first three letters from the word
Topeka" and adding an 50 to them.

WOULD GET TOGETHER
A Closer Cooperation of Kansas
Churches Is Urged by Ministers.

A meeting of ministers representing
several denominations was held at the
Central Y NJ. c. A. late Wednesday
for the purpose of starting a move
ment looking towards the appoint
ment of a commission by the various
religious bodies of the state to effect
closer cooperation between the

The following statement was issued:
Men everywhere are beginning to
recognize that they can not longer af-
ford to stand apart religiously in COM
munities where division has weakened
the authority of the church, and has
made imperative the spiritual forces,
and in consequence has turned the
hearts of many of the young away
from the vital principles of Christian
ity. 1t is to be hoped that the newly
organized committee which held its
meeting yesterday will be instrumental
in successfully presenting this matter
to the different church bodies Of the
state and thus to create the larger

date. The, greatest objection to the
non-partisan judiciary ballot has been
raised on the ground that anybody
who wants to do so can get into the
race. Professional or judicial eXper-
fence is at discount under the pres
ent law because, in the very nature of
things, the voters can not all know all
the candidates nor have acquaintance
with their fitness.
Senator Porter had introduced in

IT WILL PASS NOW
House Agrees to Conference
Report on Mortgages.
Twenty Cents on Each 500 is
Fee Provided For.

BY concurring in the report of its
conference committee, the house to-
day insured the placing of a mort
gage registration mortgage tax law on
the statute books by this legislature.
Adoption of the conference report fol-
lowed a hard fight against the report
by A. M. Keene, chairman of the ways
and means committee, who was sup
ported by a. number of administration
mem bers. Party lines were not tight
1y drawn in accepting the report, how
ever.
When the bill passed the house, it
provided for a registration fee If
twenty cents for each one hundred
dollars The senate bill provided for
ten cents hundred dollars. The con-
ference committee divided the amount
and recommended a fee of fifteen
cents. Claiming that the new law
would not raise as much revenue as
the present tax system, Keene fought
the adoption of the report. The house
voted ~ to AZ for the report
The mortgage registration law has
been before every session of the leg
islature since 1909. In 1913 both
houses passed a registration tax law,
but the measure died in conference

New Catholic Church Will Be
Built on Tenth Avenue.
Northeast Corner at Clay Pur.
chased by Churchmen.
BOTH CHURCH and SCHOOL
Edifice Will Cost $4,000
Complete in September.
Care for Members of Faith in
TOpeka's West End.

1t was ANNOUNCED today by Catholic
officials of this city that the Chester
Thomas property, northeast corner of
Tenth and Clay street, has been pur-
chased for the site of the Holy Name
Catholic church which will be erect
ed in Topeka this year for members
of the Catholic faith living west of To-
peka avenue and south of the Ka
river. The new church will cost at
least 5000 and will be one of the
most beautiful buildings of its kind in
the city
Construction work on the now
church will begin the latter part of
this month. The Catholics expect to
dedicate the edifice about the second
week in September.
The building will be used as a COM
bination church and school for those
of the Catholic faith who speak Eng
lish.
Father John Murphy. will be in
charge of the Church of the Holy
Name. Father Murphy is we'll known
in Topeka and has a host of friends.
For several years he was assistant to
Father Hayden at the Church of As
sumption prior to the latter'S reSig-
nation.
The building of the new church was
made necessary by the rapid growth
of the Catholic churches in the Capt.
tai city in the last few years. Brick
and stone viii be used in building the
new place of worship.
The school which will be maintained
in connection with the church will be
on the order of the present Assump-
ton school and will be under the same
rules and regulations.
The site selected for the church is
one of the most appropriate in the
city and centrally located in the dis
trict which it will accommodates.
Father Murphy, who has been in the
city for the last several months, has
been working continually on the ar
engagements necessary for the erection
of the new structure.

IT WAS civil WAR
Truth About the BOer Rebellion
Is Coming Out.
Casualties 1000 and 10000
Rebels Have Surrendered.
By j. w. T. Mason. I

New York March 4-Announce-
ment of the Cape Town assembly that
there have been one thousand casual
ties in the South African rebellion
and 10000 rebel Beers have surren-
dered, is the first intimation of the
seriousness of the uprising which has
been passed by the censor. The Brit
iSh public, well the worlds at
large, has been allowed to believe that
no more than a handful of the Beers
were rebelliOus.
Now, however, it has suddenly be-
come known that while so large a
part of the population has been in
VOlved in the uprising that only a few
ringleaders will be prosecuted The
announcement in effect raises the sta
tuS of the rebellion to that of a civil
war and it is improbable that penal
ties commensurate with the crimes of
sedition and mutiny will ever be i'm
posed on any of the principals under
arrest.
From the fact that announcement is
now publicly made of the extent of
the rebe lion, it is probable that the
backbone of the resistance has been
broken. Whether the situation has
ever been sufficiently critical to COM
pei the Intervention of Portuguese
troops is not yet known. Great Britain,
to all intents and purposes has pur-
chased the use of the Portuguese army
for the present war. A large part of
the army has been transported under
British direction from Portugal to Por-
tugueSe East Africa. There it was dis
tributed soon after the Boer rebellion
broke out, prepared to come to the
rescue of the Loyalists and attack the
rebels on the flank.
1t would be humiliating to the Brit
ish empire, however, if outside help
had to be summoned to put down an
instruction in one of the empire s
greatest colonies. If London has or
dered the Portuguese regiments to
cross into British territory, vital ne
cessity has required the step. The in =
surrection in itself is sufficiently hui
initiating to British imperial prestige
but it would have been more so had
not General Louis Botha remained
loyal to his oath of office. His mill
tary and diplomatic talent as we'll as
the prestige of his personality have
played the chief part in keeping the
rebellion within bounds.

Big HERD
Foot and Mouth Disease May Spread
to Famous Cattle in State.

Although no new cases of the foot
and mouth disease were reported in
the state today, reports received from
Ell Dorado are to the effect that sew
eral of the famous herds of the state
are endangered by the new outbreak
on the Draper farm, near Ell Dorado.
A strict line of quarantine has been
thrown around the Draper farm. Fed
eral experts think that the disease was
carried from the Scribner farm, where
the epidemic was first discovered, by
water as the Draper farm is located
below the Scribnor place on a small
stream which runs through both
farms.
The cattle of the Draper farm viii
be killed as soon as possible.
