EDISON is ROBBED
Wire Thieves Have Been Busy
With Company's Property.
Stripped 500 Poles of Their
Ground Protection.

An organized gang of copper thieves
has been looting the property of the
Topeka Edison company, cutting
ground rods and exposing the entire
system to danger from lightning in
case of a storm. The Edison company
has employed detectives to aid in cap
turing the persistent robbers One
man, now N the county jail, is sus-
pected of being a member of the gang
The trouble was discovered about a
week ago, announced Albert H Purdy.
manager of the Edison company, to-
day. The loss of the ground rods does
not interfere with the operation of the
system, as they are purely for pro-
lection from lightning. Probably 500
poles have been stripped of the pro-
tecting wires. They have all been re-
placed, but several have been cut
since the poles were rewired.
Most of the work was done in the
southwestern part of the city. The
value of the copper taken is only about
fifty dollars, but the damage to the
Edison company's property will reach
$500. In the event of heavy electric
cal storm the damage resulting from
absence of ground rods would prob
ably mount into the thousands. Sew
enty-seven pounds of the stolen cop
per has been recovered, mostly found
in junk shops where it had been sold.
I'VE have information which would
lead to the arrest of several parties if
they could he found said Mr.. Purdy
this morning. 'It is believed that the

CENSOR ALL NEWS
Funston Orders Rigid Secrecy
at Columbus, N. NJ.
Takes Charge Telegraph and
Phones; Military Law Next.

San Antonio, March IA rigid CEN
sorship was ordered established at Co
lurnbus. N. M, today by Major General
Frederick Funston. He instructed
Brigadier General John J. Pershing,
commanding there, to take charge of
the telegraph office, watch all auto
mobile routes and guard telephone
wires out of the town.
This action was taken to prevent
news of troop movements leaking out
in press dispatches, it was said.
General Funston said that newspa-
per reports from New Mexico had
been revealing every movement of
troops, the disposition of the various
forces and the amount of their equip
ment-
There was no use trying to conceal
our plans here while there was a leak
on the border" he explained. I'VE
had to act
1t was indicated that if the censor
ship ordered today was evaded, mar
tial law might be the next step in
controlling the news situation at Co
lumbus.

IT is UP TO HUGHES
He Must Support His Family Or Go
to the Penitentiary.

L. L. Kiene, sheriff, will return
some time today from Oklahoma City,
with r. o. Hughes, who must answer
to the charge of wife desertion-
Hughes was employed in Oklahoma
City as a painter.
1t is not likely that Hughes will be
punished. The arrangement before
Kiene left was that Hughes should
be brought back, that he should plead
guilty and be paroled with an under
standing that he should support his
family and take good care of them.
Otherwise, said w. E. Atchison,
county attorney, at the time, Hughes
will go to the penitentiary. The ar
rangement appears to be satisfactory
to Mrs Hughes and Hughes will have
chance when he is brought back
late this afternoon.

WANT A JUNIOR HIGH
East Siders Are Demanding Better
School Facilities Than They Have.

Parents of East Topeka are making
a determined stand for Junior high
school, east of the tracks. Tonighs
at a meeting of the Lafayette Parent
Teachers association a petition will
be prepared asking of the school
board a separate junior high school.
At the last meeting of the school
board it was decided, by economizing
rigid1y on general expenditures, to add
six rooms to the Lincoln school house,
although the rooms were not required
just now. To add these six rooms it
was proposed to abolish the Parkda1e
school and consolidate its district
with either Branner school, Third and
Branner streets, or Lafayette school,
Sixth and Locust streets. 1t was this
decision that aroused the parents of
East Topeka
East side parents say that less than
so per cent of their grade school stu
dents attend the high school, whereas
80 per cent of the West end grade
school graduates attend the high
school. They allege that the reason
for this is the great distance to the
central high school and the fact that
there are no Junior high schools in
their district. The argument is that
by establishing a junior high school
there the children would be more
easily influenced to continue in school.

Officers Fail to Locate Mrs. Vroo-

searched the premises of Ed and Eva
Morgan in East Hill addition Monday
afternoon he found only a part of the
articles Alice Vrooman charged them
with concealing. However, following
the search Alice Vrooman swore to a
complaint charging them with the
theft of a long list of articles. None
of the dozens of cans of fruit she
missed was found.
The officers found some window
shades and other articles Mrs. Vroo-
man claimed. The Morgans had an
explanation to make and some of the
articles were returned to the Vrooman
home last night but that did not stop
prosecution.

wire thieves have left town" "A force
of private detectives is working on the
case and some arrests may be made in
a few days.
Jim Baker, arrested on bootleg
ging charge. is now being held at the
county Jail on a warrant charging lar
ceny, and he will be prosecuted on the

the wire thieves will be vigorously
pushed by the Edison company.
