FRISKED AT KEG PARTY
Il. III. Farris Takes His Troubles to
the Courts.

Echoes of Sunday beer party
which made merry in a swale south
of the Topeka cemetery a few weeks
ago were heard in the court of To-
peka this morning, at the preliminary
hearing of Fred Gentry, a colored
youth, on the charge of larceny from
the person, on which he is held. The
hearing is not completed the Of
ficers are endeavoring to locate some
of Gentry's companions. He was one
of a party of colored boys and men
numbering, it is said, nearly 100, in
whose company r. H. Farris of Oak
land and his brother Tom, white men,
came to grief.
The Farris brothers had attended a
Sunday baseball game and, late in the
afternoon, were on the way across
lots, to Highland Park to take supper
with relative. In the open country,
south of the cemetery, they unex-

In the absence of any official state
ment, President Wilson having order
ed his confidential advisers not to COM

rumors were in circulation. One of
the most heard was that Germany had
plain that she was willing to make
material concessions to the United

to make the first note eVasive and un-

the military element.
There was no confirmation of this
report from any source. 1t seemed to
nave originated in diplomatic quarters
and was believed to be based on the
realization that the United States does
not propose to back down in any par

retains Americas friendship, she must

London, June I'm their comment
on the German reply to the United

questions the substance of which con-
Germ us ALL says the Westminster
Gazette, in an editorial article this
morning.
Continuing, the newspaper makes
the point that previous to this war it
was an unquestioned principle that
belligerent who seized an enemy mer
chairman was responsible for the
safety of non-combatants, whether
passenger or crew. In an extreme
case where, for his own safety, the
belligerent sank the vessel he was
under obligations to provide for the
passengers and crew.
I'm the early stages of the war"
the Westminster Gazette goes on to
say, I'VE saw this obligation honora-
ably acknowledged by the captains Of
the Emden and other German cruisers.
THE American note stands for this
principle. The German reply argues
that danger from a suspicious craft is
reason for the sinking of a vessel
quickly that her crew and her pas
sengers are unable to escape.
Originally, Germany said that all
neutrals entering the war zone would
be liable to destruction; now she says
she has no intention of attacking
neutrals who are not guilty of hostile
acts. 1t is evident that what is at
stake is not a question of fact, but
a principle; all facts of consequence
are admitted in the reply"
