HE CALLS A HALT
Judge MacFarIand Puts Check

Says Children Are Being Abused
at Garfield Park.

Ill-treatment of children under 16
years old, causing them to go into
Mysteries and spasms will not be toll
Grated, declared Hugh MacFarland,
judge of the probate court, this morn
ing in warning issued to the "hOly
roller" church people, who are holding
meetings in Garfield park. Mrs. NJ. B.
Woodworth-Etter, of Indianapolis,
Ind, who is the principal figure in the
shouting and dancing revival, was no.
tlfled by Ed V. Rooney, probation Of
ficer, that from now on she must not
put children through the degree"
Tonight Judge MacFarland plans to
send special officers to the camp
meeting to see that his order is not
violated. If any parents or guardians
bring their children to the meetings
they must keep them out of the pit
where the so-called reformation takes
place, for they will be arrested. The
penalty for willfulIy exposing children
in a manner likely to cause unneces-
sary suffering or serious injury to
health is 500 fine and three months
in Jail.
Il went over to Garfield park last
night and watched these people at
work in their meetings" said Judge
MacFarland this morning, land L

cannot do anything about the old peo-
pie who get up, writhing and shout

coming UNCONSCIOUS, out we can pre-
vent children from being worked with

"A ten year old girl, the daughter of
Chester McCarter, 1915 Lime street,

meeting and the treatment of her was

actions with children would cause per-

been put through this degree she
looked to me like she had been
six months of sickness. She
was placed. on >her knees, with her
hands stretched upwards, and in this
unnatural position she was kept until
she fell over, exhausted.
Il have been informed that smaller
children have been taken through
these actions and in order to stop such
a practice a warning has been issued
If children are used in these demon
strations we shall arrest the parents
or guardians or whoever is respon-
sible."

night to see that no violations of
Judge MacFarland's order are made.

KANSAS TOO COOL
Corn Needs More Sunshine and

Summer Resort Weather I'm

Crop and Weather Summary Is
Generally Optimistic.

While corn is in good condition in
fields where there has been cultiva-

best results in Kansas, according to
the summary of weather and crop
conditions issued today from the local
office of the United States weather
bureau.
The summary reads: With the eX-
ception of the 9Th the week was cool,
and in the northwestern counties the
last days were very cool. The first

of the counties. Madison, in Green

Garden City recorded BAL inches.
Wheat Harvest Nearly Finished.
Wheat harvest is finished except in
the northern counties. and oats har-
west is well along. Barley, however,
has been more or less damaged by the
wet weather and cutting delayed.
Threshing is about finished in the ex-

the rains and the dampneSS of the
straw, and in the northern counties
some wheat is sproutfng in the shock.
Alfalfa Makes Good Growth.
Alfalfa is growing rinely but it has

Ill other places the third crop is saved
in good condition.
Corn generally is in good condition

Wild and tame grasses have made
fine growth this season and are being
cut for hay. Forage crops are grow

Fruit Prospects are Promising.
Peaches, apples and grapes are very
promising except in restricted local
tiles.
Flowing for fall sowing is becoming
general.
Conditions in the United States.
Washington, Aug. lin the winter
wheat belt as a whole, the past week
was more favorable and delayed har-

Rains interfered with threshing and
caused considerable damage to grain

states, but elsewhere conditions are
more favorable. Soil generally is in
good condition for fall blowing which
is progressing in many sections
In the spring wheat belt the outlook
continues excellent and harvest is I'M

The growth of corn continues salts

Ranges, pastures and truck general

HABEAS CORPUS SUIT.
Terre Haute Officials Seek Release
From the Federal Prison.

Litigation for the release of Terce
Haute officials. convicted of election
fraud charges and who began serving
their sentences in the Leavenworth
federal penitentiary April Is, began
this morning when habeaS corpus suit
for the release of ]. E. Green and H.
S. Montgomery, was filed in the fed
eral district court at Topeka with
Morton Albaugh, clerk.
Montgomery was president of the
board of public works at Terre Haute
and Green was a merchant who acted
as an election inspector.
In the petition filed this morning
attorneys for the Terre Haute pri-
sOners name twelve causes of action,
including claim that the indictments
were not properly drawn. 1t is also
claimed that the punishment imposed
upon the officials is excessive and
that the fines are unconstitutional.
Another claim is made that it was not
within the jurisdiction of the gov
eminent to draw the indictments, and
that they do not charge any crimes
whatever.
1t is expected that attorneys for
the Terre Haute men will attempt
to bring the case to speedy hear
ing. The suit probably will come up
before Judge John Pollock at the
Leavenworth term of court this
month. Should the petitioners meet
defeat at Judge Pollock's hands the
case, it is understood, will be taken
to the court of appeals and to the
supreme court if necessary.
There is plenty of financial backing
behind the Terre Haute men.

PROMISE or WEALTH.
Topeka Men Own Land in Rich Texas
Oil Field.

Topekans who have a promise of
riches overnight in the development of
the newly discovered oil and gas fields
of southern Texas, near Clinton and
Corpus Christi, are Judge w. r.
Hazen. z. d. McKeever, local attor-
neys, George P. Benson of the Ger
man American bank, and Ed Nc
Laughlin, a painter.
All own land in the oil district. One
400 acre tract is owned by Judge Ha-
zen-the largest tract owned by any
Topekan.
1t was in this district that a gas well
blowing 100000 cubic feet of gas
a day was recently bored. A telegram
received by a Topeka man this morn
ing was to the effect that an oil well
was tapped today which was spout
ing forty feet above the derrick-the
derrick being 100 feet high. About Is
wells are being mortised in the fields,
all near and some adjoining the land
of the TOpekans.
The Standard Oil company. it is
known. recently paid $780, 900 for the
lease on a tract of land near Clinton,
Texas.
The Topekans are holding on TO
their land refusing to sell or lease and
waiting for further developments, on
adjoining land which. if favorable, will
result in their drilling on their own
Initiative if possible.

COAL SHORTAGE FEARED
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Stores Fuel as
Protective Measure.

Altoona, Pa, Aug. 11.-Anticipating
a coal shortage this fall, the Penn
sylvania railroad is taking steps to
protect itself by storing thousands of
tons at convenient points along the
system. Two big storage stations have
been esta blished here.
Since the start of the European war
many miners have responded to calls
to the colors. AS a result, coal COM
panies have been obliged to advertise
for miners.
One operator in the central Pennsy1-
vania field stated that dealers are
making money now for the first time in
several years, as the manufacturing of
war munitions has caused a big de-
mand for coal, and most of the mines
are working full time.
