Husband Followed Her to This
City and Found Her in Com
pany of a Dane.

Ernest Lubla, a Belgian, and his wife
Minnie, a German, lived in Hoboken.
They quarreled about the war daily. Mr..
Lubla said It was an outrage that the
Germans had gone through Belgium. and
Mrs. Lubla said It served the Belglans
right.
When the Lusitana was SUNK, Lubls,
who is a steward on liner, was greatly
excited, and his wife was, too.
THE Americans will make war on
Germany" she said, and then every
thing will go to smash and ruin, and
the banks won't pay out money. You'd
better take your Si100 out of that Ho-
boken National Bank"
And he actually did. he was so worried
about It all He brought the money home
and Mrs Lubla promptly took II, ac-
rordlng to her husband. At any rate she
was missing and 30 was Alfred Hansen,
Dane and also n steward on n liner and
a friend of the couple.
Lubla got the New York detectives
working on the case and they traced
Hansen and Mrs. Lubla to this city. At
$3.50 o'clock this morning four detectives
appeared I'm front of the door of room
at 1918 Vine street, which had been taken
by Hansen and the woman, according to
the proprietress.
Kelley, one of the detectives, Initiated
the voice of the proprietress and Han
sen opened the door Kelley walked In
and the big Dane threw him out into
the hall. Then the other detectives
pounced on Hansen and arrested him
and the woman.
Meanwhile Lubla was sent for, and he
was at the hearing before Magistrate
Beaton, at the goth and Buttonwood
streets station this morning.

Senate Sits Tight.
In a spirit of retaliation, the SEN
ate is this afternoon sitting on the
house amendment to the adjournment
resolution. With the spirit of fight
displayed in the house this morning,
the senate has shown a tendency to
hold up final adjournment until the
house takes final action on the con-
ference committee bills. If these are
rejected it is not improbable that the
senate may refuse to concur. That
will mean a further tie-up in legis-
lative proceedings and might block an
adjournment Saturday.
Should the house today show a will
ingness to approve the conference
bills, it is probable that the senate will
call up and adopt the adjournment
resolution as amended. But it seems
to be up to the house to make the next
move.

A CLUB OF MERIT
WaShburn Dramatic Organiza-
ton in Good Work.
Play at Grand March 25 To Be
of Interest.

The Washburn College Dramatic
club which will present its spring play
at the Grand Opera house, Thursday,
March 25, is an organization composed
entirely of undergraduate college stu
dents Its membership is limited to 80
and each year as the seniors graduate
the ranks are filled by others who
must have passed however a required
amount of college work. The actors
and their management are of the stu
dents themselves, aided when neces-
sary by the faculty of the Dramatic
Art department at Washburn.
In the course of the clubs career,
its various members have presented
for public approval everything from
Shakespeare's heaviest comedies and
Sygne's most psychological creations
to Tarkington's Man From Home
and ''All-of-a-Sudden Peggy
The production this year, The
Stubbornness of Geraldine" although
in a somewhat lighter vein than some
of their efforts, is one of that eminent
playwright, Clyde Fitch's, cleverest
works, and everything that this play
loses over former plays in technique
and art, it gains in human interest and
originality.
Solomon once said that one of the
three great Ununderstandable Things
was the way of a Man with a Maid,
and that is the theme of this little
of Miss Mary Mannering. In the
words of the play itself, Geraldine
Lang, played by Miss Helen Guild i'll
the Washburn production, contends to
her friend, Mrs. Wrighton, played by
Miss Mildred Gephart, mo woman
can pretend she loves man, unless
she has faith in him, and the only one
able to destroy that faith should be
the man she loves
That is the complication and solu-
ton in one. 1t is a very pretty, inter-
esting and cleverly written story and
College club promises Topeka theater
goers that a play really worth while
will be staged for their approval.
The scenes are each of them out of
the ordinary to scenic effects and
stage setting, the old conventional
ideas about scenery having been dis
carded in many instances and special
scenery ordered. AS many of To-
peka's most popular younger set have
parts in the play, and since the play
has the worth assured by such names
as Clyde Fitch and Miss Mary Manner
ing, not only college circles but all
Topeka will undoubtedly look forward
to this production at the Grand,
