ADELE HUGO DIES AT
 AGE OF S5 YEARS
Youngest Daughter of Fla. nous French Author De-
 mented for years.

Paris, April 22, 5:25 a. m.-Adele Hugo, youngest daughter of Victor Hugo, died yesterday at her residence in Suresnes, a suburb of this city, at the age of S5 years.
 The sad life story of Adele Hugo many years ago aroused the sympathy of the entire world. AS a girl she was Kidnapped at Guernsey by an English officer. All Europe was searched for her by her parents but they obtained no trace of her whereabouts
 Several months later a girl found wandering alone in the streets of New York, apparently dem ented, declared 1T am the daughter of Victor Hugo" This was the only statement she ever made.
 She was sent back to France to her parents but her lips remained sealed until the end. She failed to entirely recover her reason and after the death of her father lived a solitary exist ence in her villa, morose and. seldom speaking. When she did consent 10 converse it never was of the past.
 Mile. Hugo's only appearances in public were when she went to Paris to witness from the back of dark ened box the reproduction of one of her fathers plays. Apparently she had no friends and never received visitors

US. Declares in Reply to MemeraR-
 dun of German Ambassador.
NOTE IS WaIT1EN BY WILSON
President Says Language Employed by Kaisers Envoy Is Susceptible of Being Construed as Impugning Good of U. s.

Washington, April 22-The Ameri- can governments answer to the re- cent memorandum of Count Vol! Bernstorff, the German ambassador, complaining that while the United States had failed to maintain its right to expert foodstutfs to Germany it had permitted the shipment of arms to the allies, was before the German government today. The shipment of arms the ambassador asserted, was not in keeping with the real spirit of neutrality.
 The American note, which was writ ten by President Wilson, had been sent by Secretary Bryan to Count Von Bernstorff, who transmitted it to the German foreign office. The reply is regarded here as carefully framed statement of the attitude Of the United States and, it is believed, will clear any doubt that may have existed as to that position.
 Violation of Neutrality.
 The attitude of the American gov ernment as outlined in the note is that to stop the shipment of arms during the progress of the war would be in violation of the neutrality of the United States. The answer eN- plains that the relations of the United States with any of the belligerents cannot wisely be discussed with a third government, and says that the ambassadors note refers to circum stances which the United States woulo have supposed hardly appropriate for discussion between the two govern ments.
 The language employed by the am bassador in his memorandum, the note says, lis susceptible of being con- strued as impugning the good faith of the United States in the perform ance of it's duties as neutral" but the American reply takes it for granted that no such implication was intended" and adds that evidently the ambassador is "laboring under cer- tain false impressions" 5.'
 Emphasizes Ties of Friendship. "
 The note emphasizes the strong ties Of friendship between the United States and Germany and points out that the neutrality of the United States lis founded upon the firm basis of conscience and good will'

New York, April 22.-The question as to whether Harry K. Thaw is en- titled to have a jury determine his sanity remained undecided today in the mind of Supreme Court Justice Hendricks. When attorneys for Thaw and the state of New York appeared in court to hear his decision, Jus tice Hendricks announced that he had not had time to complete his study of the authorities, but hoped to be able to return a decision by tomorrow morning.
 The proceedings, which are based on writ of habea corpus, were ad- journed until that time.

HUMPHREY A CANDIDATE
 FOR WATER BOARD HEAD
Energetic Official Expects to Make Formal Announce
 ment Soon.

Although he has not made any de- cisive statement regarding his posi- tion, B. N. Humphrey today admitted that he would probably be a candi- date for chairman of the water com mission to which he was elected a member last night by the common council.
 MT. Humphrey stated this afternoon that in all probability the new water board would have a meeting in a few days for the purpose of talking things over. It is possible that the commits on a choice for a chairman. Com missioner w. R. Rossberg already having announced his candida-cyz=for that position
 MT. Humphrey is one of Jew Bri- tain's best officials. As president of the board of public works he has dis tinguished himself by placing the de- partments under the jurisdiction of that board on a more business-like basis. He is born leader and many citizens regard him as the last VIC ] in officialdOm. He is also a member of the board of finance anu taxation where his opinion is always listened to with respect and it's weight appreciat- ed.
 A point nfavor of MT. Humphreys candidacy is the relation between the city engineer and the water board during the development of the water supply at Burlington. City Engineer Hall and MT. Humphrey have shown great team work in connection with the public works department and it is believed by some that it would be for the benefit of the city if they were allowed to work together on the Burl- ingtOn iOb

TWELVE KILLED BY COLLAPSE OF WALL
More Than Twenty Other Persons More or Less Seriously Injured
 in Catastrophe.

Birmingham, Ala, April 22.-At least twelve persons, it was believed today, were killed here late yester- day when two retail stores, crowded with shoppers, were crushed by a five story wall blown down in a wind storm.
 More than twenty persons were more or less seriously injured.
 The store buildings occupied by the Ham Shoe company and the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company, were com pletely wrecked by the wall which was left standing after a recent fire.
 Six bodies have been recovered and six other persons believed to have been in the crowded buildings when the crash occurred, were reported missing.
 Five of the injured were said today to be in serious condition.
 All the bodies recovered thus far are those of persons employed in the two stores. They include Alex Me- Leod, manager of the shoe store, and J. H. Whitlock, auditor of the tea company. Among the injured are many shoppers, some of whom had narrow escapes from death.
 Searchers entertain no hope that any of those caught by the falling mass will be found alive now.

KANSAS TEACHER
New Topeka Publication to
Make Appearance Tomorrow.
City Schools COmplimented for
Work They Are Doing.

The Kansas Teacher, which is now
| 4 Topeka publication, will come from
| the press tomorrow 1t is a few days
| late, owing to the difficulties of COM
! plotting so extensive a program as that
of the Kansas State Teachers assoc
ciation-but the committee hopes
the number of changes will be cores
pondingly few. But the number will
be one of the largest in the history
of the publication and possibly the
most interesting number issued.
Topeka will be complimented by a
presentment of the brilliant work that
is being done by the teachers in the
Topeka schools along the line of
''motiyation"-thi is the last word in
good teaching just now, and Topeka
teachers have been doing some of the
best work of any corps in any school
in the country. If you cont under
stand motivation" you must brush
up on your theory and practice.
The State Department.
The state department of education
will also be discussed at length in the
Kansas Teacher. The reorganization
of this department was the one that
the teachers of the state demanded,
or at least urged, first of all And
the legislature gave the teachers al
most everything they asked for along
this line. The article in the Kansas
Teacher is the first complete state
ment of the plans and motivation
of the department under the new~1aw.
Another article that would have
been ''pizen" last year will pass for
pure food this season-and that is the
list of new men and women employed
at the state schools. You will recall
the bitter fight made upon the board
of administrations last year and the
wear before--as to how they were
"paralyzing' the state schools by the
they We're makipg-this new
list will probably be read without any
body seeing red-stilI, some one may.
Teachers Program.
The biggest article is, CT course,
about the program of the State Tea CHI
ers' association to be held in Topeka,
on November IL, IL, Is. The pro-
grams are not printed in full, as the
preliminary program will be printed
complete, in about ten days, or so, and
so this article deals with the more
or less interesting things about the
program, rather than the details of it,
The advertising shows that the
of Topeka have given this
publication a support which will
doubtless be appreciated by the man
agement. d. A. Ellsworth is the ed
itor of the Kansas Teacher, and while
he had to be away from Topeka three
weeks in September on account of Sc
rious illness of his sister, DR.. Anna
Ellsworth, in Seattle, he has gotten
out as large copy as any issued yet.

A WAR COMPARISON
Mrs. Lila Day Monroe Shows How
U. S. Could Swallow, Nations.

Speaking about the war. Yes, there
has been considerable speaking about
the war and there is always something
new. Mrs. Lila Day Monroe, a prom
inent Topeka club woman, has made
an interesting comparison of the Unit
ed States and the foreign powers now
at war. Mrs. Monroe's comparison is
as follows:
Beginning with the one who be-
gan 1t: Germany, with her 20S,S30
square miles, is not so large as Texas,
our southern empire of 265,7SO square
miles. nor is Germany as large as
Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma TAX
en- together, fer they foot up 229,42O
square miles
ireland is almost as large as In
diana: Scotland does not quite meas
sure up to North Carolina, nor do both
England and Wales equal Michigan,
and the British Isles lack more than
thirty thousand square miles of being
as large as California
SerVla, Denmark, Switzerland, Bel
GUM and Montenegro all could be put
over into Missouri and still have a con-
siderable garden plot to spare. Lit
tie Montenegro is half as large as New
Jersey, or about the size of three west,
ern Kansas counties.
France, England and Wales could
be slowed away in Texas, and Italy
would just about fit the space of Me-
vada.
Austria Hungary, with its 24O,942
square miles is the largest except
Russia of all the fighting powers but
- -till lacks quite bit of being equal
