edness resolution does not mean that
the body has formally Endorsed thhe res

must be read before the body three
times before 1t can be finally voted on
The sentiment seems, however, to be

SCHOOL BOARD WILL TAKE
ANOTHER SLAP AT "FRATS"
Once More the Cork Bobs Up and
Bait Awaits NibbIe.
Secret Organizations in Topeka High
School F'ished for Again.
REyEALFINDINGS TONIGHT
Investigation Has Been Carried On for
Several Months.
PenweII Says It's Up to Parents
Question of Right, Says Van Horn.
The cork is bobbing again.

The cork is bobbinG again,
The old fraternity problem that has
been puzzling school authorities all
over the state ever since the anti-frat
law was passed several years ago, has
bobbed up in Topeka once again!
1t is generally admitted that Sc
cret organizations are in operation
among students of the Topeka high
school although the students have
signed statements to the effect that
they had no connection with any such
organization and would not affiliate
with q fraternity or sorority while in
school. The parents have also vouched
for the truthfulness of these state
ments.
Members of the board of education
stated today that the fraternity prob
lem will be considered at the regular
March meeting tonight. 1t is not at
all certain that action of any kind
will be taken. Several of the mem
bers expressed themselves as being un-
certain as to what should be done.
The school authorities have been in
Vestigating the existing condition for
several months. and it is expected that
a statement of the findings will be
made tonight.
In my opinion" said L. NJ. Pen
we'll, board member, today, the solu-
ton lies with the parents; if they want
their children to violate the law it
should be up to them"
1T is a question of what is the
right thing to do said DR.. c. B. Van
Horn of the board. .'I'II vote for what
seems right. 1t would be good thing
if some of the parents were as anX-
ious to promote the welfare of the
schools as they are to cater to the
whims of their children
P. w. Griggs, president of the board.
expressed himself as being uncertain
as to what action should be taken.

that Mateiket and another man had
accom- panied two women to the hotel.

the party. had remained in the hotel
parlor for some time and afterwards

quith in the house today
The proposed measures of reprisal
against Germany, the premier said,
would be enforced with strict observ-
ance of the dictates of humanity, but
the allies did not purpose ito allow
their efforts to be strangled in a net
work of judicial niceties."
There was no intention, he explain
ed. to confiscate detained ships or
cargoes unless they were liable to con-
fiscation under the ordinary conditions
of war. The premier declared that the
allies would hold themselves free to
capture goods wherever there was a
presum ptiOn that such goods were des-
tined for the use of their enemies or
had been sent from hostile countries.

POOR old HACKS
Drivers Want License Money
Back From the City.
Little Jitneys Have Nearly Put
Them Out of Business.

Twelve hackdrivers would like to
have the money back which they have
paid to the city of Topeka for the
privilege of driving hacks They have
paid $40 each for licenses for the year.
At the time they paid the money to
the city the privileges they bought
were worth something. But that was
before the busy jitneys were dartinE
hither and yon and doing for nickel
the service for which the cabbies have
been receiving from 25 to SO cents
Now the hackmen are not even
making hay for their horses. not to
mention wages for themselves. so they
report to G. T. Mattingly, city license
collector. The hackmen still stand
their hacks at the curbs fronting To-
peka'S depOtS and at other points
where passengers were likely to be
picked up before the days of jitneys.
But this is done more from habit and
because there is nothing else to do,
than because the business receipts
warrant the waiting.
Looks like the hacks are doomed
to follow the old stage coaches and
become circus curiosities.
