KARL RIDDLE is MEMBER
OF GOOD ROADS COMMITTEE

County Engineer Karl Riddle was
appointed a member of the execu-
tive committe on good roads at the
state conference at Lawrence. The
plan of the conference for legisla-
ton this winter favors a road COM
mission. The bill provides that the
members of the commission shall
serve without salary and shall have
the power to select the state high
way engineer, and define road pol
icy
The bill also provides that the
board of county commissioners shall
hire a county superintendent of
roads to have charge of county and
township highways.
Another bill to enable benefit
districts, counties and systems of
benefit districts to construct per
manent highways was recommend
ed. According to the provisions of
the bill upon a petition Of fifty per

ABILENE WINS ANOTHER
High School Team Takes Game from
Minneapolis cold

The high school football team
took another step toward the CEN
trail and eastern Kansas champion
ship yesterday when the Minneapo-
lis team was defeated by the score
| of 2O-14. The victory came only
as the result of a last five minutes
awakening on the part of the Abb
lene boys, however, the unexpect-
ed opposition of their opponents al
most turning the tide the other
way.
Abilene scored after three min
utes of play, when Medley ran TWEEN
ty five yards around end for
touchdown. Minneapolis scored
shortly after in that quarter. In
the second quarter each team scor-
ed a touchdown, Medley again going
over for Abilene after a seventy
yard run. Abilene failed to kick
goal and Minneapolis led 14-13.
The third quarter was a see--saw
affair, both teams trying desper-
ateIy to score. The last quarter
promised to be a repetition of the
third but forward pass three min
utes before the game ended was
grabbed by VanDoren and carried
ovar tha line
Abilene did not play up to her
usual form, a bad dose of overcon-
fidence being responsible for in
different playing.
Robson played a great game for
Abilene, repeatedly breaking up
plays singlehanded. Two long runs
by Medley also featured.
The team returned this morning
and the men all seemed in good
condition. Junction City comes here
for a game next week and Salina
will be here for the final game on
Thanksgiving day.

OFFICES ROBBED
ABILENE LUMBER YARDS EN-
TERED BY THIEVES
Thieves Entered ALI Three Offices
Last Night But Got Nothing
Observation-Disclosures on
Trail

For the third time within
year the three Abilene lumber yard
offices were entered by thieves last
night and a few articles taken Win
dows were pried open at the Rice,
Johntz, Nicolay and Kruger yards
and entrance gained in that man
ner. The door of the Badger office
was opened with key.
At the Rice, Johntz, Nicolay of
flee 60 cents was taken from a
drawer in the desk and the safe
opened with key found in the Of
flee. No valuables were found in
the cash box which was taken west
of the first street bridge and broken
open with a brick. City officers dis
covered it this morning.
At the ]. L. Kruger yard a
sweater was the only thing taken.
An attempt was made to break the
ombination of the safe with
wrench but the plan failed.
The Badger Lumber company
sustained no loss.
The work is evidently that of
amateurs and officials are busy
looking for possible clues. Two
cash register keys such as are used
for opening a cash register were
found at the Nicolay office. Regis
tiers at all three offices are left
open and empty, however, and moth
ing was found there by the burg
lars.
Bricks used to stand on while
entering the window at the Nicolay
yard and the small openings through
which the thieves were forced to
crawl at both the Nicolay and
Kruger yards would indicate that
boys or very small men were the
offenders.
City authorities are on track OF
the burglars and expect to make
some arrests soon.

missioners are to submit to quail
fled electors of the county whether
the county will pay the remaining
two thirds of the cost.
Before the election the state
highway engineer is to make a pre-
liminary survey to estimate the
cost of the road. At the election
the voters decide whether to issue
county bonds to pay the countys
part or to build year by year, by
annual levy. until the system is
completed.
The board of county commits
sioners is to employ construction
engineer who makes detailed plans
upon which bids are made. The
county is to acquire land to elimin-
ate bends, grade crossings and him
ORANGES to a good road.
The lands within the benefit dis
trict are to pay Ill proportion 10 the
benefit received. They may pay in
cash or have serial bonds issued
payable in not more than twenty
years. The law also regulates the
sale of the bonds and the interest
they shall draw.
In case the roads are built by a
direct annual tax levy they shall be
continued each year as many miles
as are voted for.
The bill also provides for the
construction of roads partly within
the city and partly within the coun-
ty, for continuous road through
an unpaved town and for roads
built out from cities to cemeteries,
colleges and parks located without
the city. Roads are to be maintain
ed as under the present law.
Trunk lines may be laid out by
the state engineer and built along
the plans laid down for the con-
struction Of county road.

SUBMARINES DIPLOMACY.

Since February 4, 1915, when Germany issued the
formal proclamation announcing the submarine war
on merchant vessels, $50 American men, women and
children have been killed by German and Austrian
submarines

this period-a note for about every six lives lost.
Germany has sent % responses some of which we're

while others showed the German government yield
ing Just far enough to avoid break in diplomatic
relations.
II Is charged by-welinfOrmed Washington cores,
pondents that within the past few months the state
department has been suppressing notes to and from
the Central Powers, particularly Austria, because
thees notes showed the weakness of the administers
ton in dealing with the submarine problem. As an
Instance Of this it is fatty charged that Austria has
refused TO meet the American demands for repara-
ton for the Smelling Of the tank steamer Petroite
and the wounding of several members of the crew,
nearly year ago.
On two occasions the president seemed to have
won a diplomatic victory On both these occasions
Germany apparently yielded TO the Wilson demands.
The words seemed" and apparently" are used
odyisedly for recent developments in the submarine
campaign Indicate that in the European war-zone
American lives have little guarantee of protee
ton from submarine raiders now than they had
when the Lusitania was sunk.

HOW IwILEI PROTECTS THE CITY"

Iwilei has again proved failure a regulator
of commercial vice.
The two great arguments in favor of a segregated
district are, first that such district nnder police
and medical supervision protects male patrons from
disease and secondly, that il concentrates the So
cial evil in small section of the city and keeps the
rest free from the corrupting influence.
Iwiles failure to make good on the first argument
was shown few weeks ago, when revelations of the
extent of disease spread from the district shocked
the community and caused revolution in nspec-
ton methods. 1t is not to be doubted that the new
system while believed better than the DID, will fail,
for no medical authority has yet devised a method
which is certain. In fact, medical authorities of in
ternational repute have branded RECOMMENDATION as
useless and dangerous.
Now Iwilei has failed to make good on the Sec
ond count-the concentration of vice in one district
few weeks ago it was stated in these columns
that commercial vice spread over the city. The
truth of the statement was shown yesterday when
more than a dozen women were hailed into police
cQnrt and sentence after sentence passed upon con-
yiction of disorderly conduct. In many eases the
women told their own sOrdid stories
These were not inmates of the socalled restricted
district" They were, tenants of uptown lodging
houses where say the police they have been plying
their trade Now the city attorney is acting to cor
raj all the vice possible in Iwilei.
Itcannot be eorraled there and it will not be cor
raled there Honolulu has not now and will not
have anything like an effective system for keeping
the women of the streets off the streets and in the
haunt set apart for them. Any social worker knows
how widespread is commercial vice in Honolulu Iwi-

a considerable amodnt has been ex-
