suspense. Rhetoricaliy lie asks why 4
is that the readers interest is held

George Klein's PhotOplay Version of
 Conan X Harris Farce at A. .Mucn-If


 Two kleptomaniacs and two real crooks and a double wedding are re- sponsible for all the fun in "Stop Thief" George Klein's latest photo play. The film is founded on the Conan & Harris farce by Carlyle Moore, which had such long and successful run throughout America a short while ago.
 One of the klepto:aaniacs is the millionaire father of two charming girls whose double wedding occurs on the night new maid is engaged. To the great misfortune of the we'll laid wedding plans, the maid has promised her sweetheart, real crook of the light-fingered variety that she will assist him do one last job before they are married. Inci- dentally, one of the purposes of this last job is to acquire a few wedding presents, which, would not other wise be forthcoming, to grace the nuptials.
 All sorts of weird and mysterious things begin to happen. With two real crooks and two kleptomaniacs the double wedding bids fair to wind up in the police station. It's all se,- tied amicably, however, with the. aid of a battalion of police and a benevo- Tent minister who ends a riotons evening with g triple wedding.
 The cast features all of the cri- ginal principals of the stage play with Mary Ryan and Harry Me stayer playing the light-fingered maid and sweetheart.

MAS NO WAR FIRE
Somebody Tried to Burn the
Raw Milling Co. Plant.
Blaze Discovered by Waterman
in Time to Prevent Damage.

Another Topeka mill was endanger-
ed by the firebug last night At
o'clock Roy Cokenour, employed as
bran packer at the Kaw Milling COM
pany discovered a blaze at the north
east corner of the mill elevator. He
thought the elevator was on fire and
SO reported to Jack Roman, Waterman
for the mill. When they reached the
blaze they saw Il man walking away
in the dark and the only information
they could get from him in answer to
their shouts was that he was on his
way home.
. The two men Investigated the blaze
and found unmistakable signs of the
fire bug. Waste had been pulled from
the journal OF a nearby freight car
and placed upon a sill of the elevator,
then a match had been applied. The
fire did no damage but the only rea
son it did not was its early discovery.
In few more minutes the elevator
would have been ablaze. AS it was a
bucket of water ouenched it. The fire
department was called but there was
no need for it.
The Waterman employed by the
milling company had registered with
the Western Union telegraph COM
pany five minutes before the fire was
discovered. War contracts could have
had nothing to do with this fire as
the kaw Milling company is not filling
any such contracts, according to John
c. Nicholson, mana ger.

He drove to Kansas City this morning
with a representative of the White
Agency and will give the "once over"

Chief Hanlon was not expecting
sucn a Christmas gift but when Mayor
House discovered that there was So
600 left in the fund of the fire depart
ment the mayor decided to spend it
that way instead of turning it back
into the general fund for distribution
among the different departments.
The car now used by the chief will
be turned over to Joe Waidelich, as
sistant chief. The two cars will be
ne cessary after the first of the year

MAY Be BEACON
Only One General Manager
Mentioned to Succeed Sweet.
Probability That Offices May
Be Moved Away.

The resi- gnation of A. E. Sweet. as
general manager of the Rock Island
second district, with headquarters in
Topeka. will be effective January 1, at
which time he goes to Denver, Col, to
ACCEPT the position of vice presiden-
of the Denver & Dio Grande rail-
read. This has been officially an
nounced. Mr.. Sweet is out of Topeka
today.
with the announcement come ru-
mors of prospective successors. How
ever, if the Rock Island receiver keeps
up his policy of economy he is liable
to merge two districts temporarily.
No one in Topeka, not even those who
are familiar with Rock Island condi-
tions. ventures more than a guess on
the probable outcome. The matter
rests entirely with the receiver, ia
cob NJ. Dickinson. and his chief Off
GER ]. E. German.
A transfer of headquarters for T. H.
Beacon, general manager of the third
district at Ell Reno, is not improbable.
There is a chance, but a very slight
ore, that Beacon might come here.
And then G. w. Rourke, at present as
sistant general manager under Mr.
Sweet, might take charge of the office,
either temporarily as acting general
manager, or permanently. Again, two
districts might be consolidated with
headquarters at Kansas City, as the
latter city seems to be getting very
popular with officials of the railway.
Whether or not Mr.. Sweet will take
any Rock Island men away from To-
peka is not known. 1t is probable
that if he has any such plan under
consideration ne will not announce it
until after he has become thoroughly
familiar with affairs at Denver.
General Manager Sweet will succeed
Kingdom Gould, at present vice presi-
dent of the Rio Grande. This was
considered the thing President Nudge,
of the r. & r. G. would do when he
took over the western roads presi-
dency.
Every Rock Island man in Topeka
has a different idea about Mr.. Sweets
successor. Several of them, however,
are of the opinion that until the re-
organization of the company the work
will be carried on by the assistant
oRneral lana ger

LAST SERVICE ON ]. SCHENCK
e. s. Marshal Once Believed to
Have Held Jurisdiction.
Hearings Before U. S. Commits
siOners Have Been Set.

J. D. Maxwell and W. F. Key, com
prising the Maxwell Commission
company" charged with bill1ing other
produce men out of large sums OF
money, will have their hearings be
fore United States commissioners De
cember "a, Maxwell at Kansas City
and Key at Topeka. OF course, the
creditors are interested in these
hearings, but the thing they are most
interested in right now is the loca-
ton of 81, 800 the police found upon
the person of Key when he was ar
rested.
The creditors, through their attor-
news. E. d. McKeever and b. J. Lem
peneau, played a game of hide and
seek with that $1,000 all morning and
so far they have not located it. When
e. c. jackson, deputy United States
marshal, arrested Key at the police
station last night he took the money
into his possession. 1t had been
locked up in the safe at the police
station. the marshars office assumed
jurisdiction over it and the creditors
found it out. Early this morning
their attorneys started garnishm ent
procee lings against o. T. Wood, mar
shall.
Switched 1t to Schenck.
Then the attorneys had a bunch
that the money had been given back
to Key and they searched him. They
found S4.ZO. j. j. SCnenCk mas DSeIl
employed as attorney by Key and the
attorneys for the creditors suspected
that he had the $1,000 and the gar
nishment summons was switched from
the United States marshal to Schenck-
Up to date the attorneys for the cred
itors are not just sure where, the
money is and the creditors want it
badly.
The Topeka Fruit and Produce COM
pany has a claim for $4,000, p. S.
Richard of Donaldsonville, Iowa, has
a claim for the price of 500 pounds
of pecanS or $12S.30, Hassler & Luth-

S Flack a claim for $4,000. That is
the list of claims made public to date.
Over to Federal Officers.
The Topeka police held Key all day
yesterday and last night the federal
government took him in charge. At
s o'clock he was taken before the
United States commissioner and the
date for his hearing was set. Max
well was arrested in Kansas City yes
terday and taken before the commits
sioner there. Both will have their
preliminary hearings December "a.
Each was placed under bond of So
900 and neither was able to furnish
bond. Key was taken to the county
Jail and is being held there.
A. J. Bolinger has been retained by
Key to represent him at the prelim-
mary hearing and he has retained j.
j. Schenck for further defense.
Great credit has been due Herbert
