SIGHT WAR FLEET
German Squadron Includes Bat
tleships and Zeppelins.
Report 1t Is in North Sea Con-
firmed by Many.

London, March 9.-Morning news
papers publish from their correspond
ents in Holland such details as are
available there regarding the recent
activity of the German fleet in the
North sea According to these ac-
counts the fleet included about fifty
craft of all descriptions, from the
most modern dreadnaughts down to
old fashioned torpedo boats.
The fleet was escorted by two Yep
pelins. which served as scouts to pre-
vent a surprise attack by hostile yes
sells. One trawler sighted this fleet
165 miles due west of the mouth of
the Elbe. Another saw it 35 miles
northwest of Yumiden. All the Ger
man ships were painted n war gray
and were invisible at a short distance.
Heavy clouds Of smoke frequently hid
them completely.
One Dutch trawler is quoted as
having made the following report:
During the recent air raid on Eng
land a Zeppelin was seen scouting in
advance of three cruisers and a fleet
of destroyers and submarines which
were believed to nave the intention of
making Il dash for English waters.
The Zeppelin, however made certain
discoveries regarding the watchfulness
of the British fleet and the German
squadron hastily withdrew"

Rain and snow. measuring I Il an

The lowest temperature was 80 de-

The forecast calls for fair weather

This mornings low reading was

MOVE TO Topeka
Secret Conference DiSclOSeS
Rock Island Plan.
Make This City Secondary Gen.
eral Headquarters.

Following a conference of officials
of the Rock Island Lines in Topeka
the first of the week it is known in
railway circles today that a plan is
on foot to make Topeka next i'll i'm
portance to Chicago in general office
authority. The conference gave birth
to a proposition whereby many gen.
era1 offices of the railway may be
concentrated here before June.
If the plan meets with general ap-
proval from the officials with direct
ing authority, the Rock Island will
construct a new building in this city
to be occupied exclusively by offices
moved here from other points on the
system.
The argument brought out at the
Topeka conference was to the effect
that Topeka was the natural govGgn-
ing center of the western and cent al
districts of the Rock Island LiIlAs.
Chicago, now the head of all Rock
Island authority, is far away from the
western terminals in Denver and El
Paso and Galveston. Many offices
could be conducted here with greater
efficiency and at less expense, it was
pointed out.
Fill Up the Vacancy.
Ever since the Rock Island moved
the office of general manager and
subsidiary offices from this city sev-
eral months ago, promises have been
made Topeka that something would be
sent here as a fitting substitute
Rumors directly from Chicago in
the last week state that the account
ants force would be moved 20 this
city. Indications recently have point
ed to this move. The secret confer
ence in Topeka early in the week,
however, brought out still another
chance for additional offices.
1t has been known for some time
that the offices of the Rock Island
in Chicago were a tremendous expense
to the road High rentals, limited
space and long distance have colnbin-
ed to make certain departments TOO
expensive in the Windy City, To-
peka, a much smaller city, with
cheaper rentals and grounds and with
every accessibility to the western dis
tricts of the road, forms an ideal 10
cation, according to the newly formu-
lated plan.

STATE APPEALS CASE
Suits Against E,lks and Eagles to the
Supreme Court.

Appeals in suits against the Eagles
and Elks lodges in Montgomery coun-
ty were filed today before the state
supreme court by S. M. Brewster, at
torney general. Efforts to secure in
functions against the lodges failed
when the cases were tried before the
Montgomery county district court and
the state has appealed its cases to the
supreme court.
Two Eagles lodges and two Elks
lodges in Caney. Midland and Inde-
pendence were under fire by the at
torney generals office. Both the
Eagles and Elks lodges in Caney were
cited by the state in suits for injunc-
tions. The Eagles lodge in Midland
and the Elks lodge in Independence
were also charged with violation of the
liquor law. In all of the four cases
it was charged by the state that COM
mon drinking was permitted in the
club rooms and permanent injunctions
were asked.
When the case was tried before
Judge Flannelley, the evidence was
held to be insufficient and judgments
were entered for the defendants. The
state, however, contended that the
law had been violated and today took
the cases before the state. supreme
court

Washington, March 9.-Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, of North Da-
kota, today withdrew his resolution
to warn American citizens off armed
ships, stating he thought that Ameri-
cans have been effectively warned and
that the pendency of his resolution
might embarrass negotiations.
In view of the turn in our interna-
tional affair during the last "a hours"
said Senator McCumber. Il feel that
sea going Americans have been as eff
fectively warned of their perils as
though either the McLemore or the
Gore resolution had been adopted, and.
considering that new proposals tend
ing toward an amicable settlement of
the question in controversy, feel that
reopenlng of the discussion might be
embarrassing and improper.'
