ENGLAND STEALS NEWS
Chicago Paper Charges British With
Selling Its German Dispatches.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-The British gov
eminent has been charged by the Chi
cago Daily News with stealing it's dis
patches from Germany and selling
them to a private news bureau in
London.
The charge was made in a signed
and copyrighted dispatch by wireless
from Oswald F. Schuette, a Chicago
man, who has been in Germany as
special correspondent of the Daily
News since shortly after the outbreak
of the European war. In discussing
the Nauen wireless station, which
Germany has made so powerful that
four times as much news by wireless
can be sent to the United States as
formerly, Mr.. Schuette's dispatch
says:
Another advantage of the increase
in the power and speed of this trans
atlantic wireless is that it makes more
difficult British listening in So far
this has been one of the great handi-
caps of the service.
1.-The British have repeatedly taken
my wireless dispatches out of the air
and sold them to a private bureau in
London, making it possible to cable
the messages to America before they
were printed in the Daily News. Now
only the highest power stations are
able to listen in and then only briefly
when they catch the same wave length
and cut out all other use of their sta
tons The use of the double wave
length makes this practically impos-

HIS FORD is STOLEN
Two Men Took Motor Car Belonging
TO David Neiswanger.

Two men, believed to be profess
SIGNALS. drove away with an automo-
bfie in broad daylight today, a few
minutes after David Neiswanger left
it IN front of the Columbian building.
Neiswanger discovered the loss at
once and twenty-five minutes after
the car disappeared the police depart
ment and sheriffs office were at work
on the case but no trace of the car has
been found. There was less than gall
lon of gasoline in the tank when Neis-
Wender left it.
Men in the barbershop, under the
Columbian building, saw two men
walk up to the car in front OF the
building about $3.50 o'clock To-Day anu
attempt to crank it. They failed ana
after a consultation they backed 1t
out into the street by hand, headed 1t
west and allowed it to coast down the
hill. The engine started and the men
climbed in. They went on west on
Sixth avenue.
Mr.. Neiswanger was in his office,
Immediately across the street from the
car. and might have seen the men
take it had he been looking. He re-
ported the disappearance of the ma
chine to the police department, then
to the sheriffs office. Warnings were
sent out all over the city at once from
police headquarters and the sheriff s
office telephoned to nearby towns.
1t was expected that the two men
would stop somewhere near to buy
gasoline. but they did not stop any
where on West Sixth. 1t was reported
to the police that a car answering the
description had been seen on the Sill
yer Lake road going west. Several
police officers in new Cadillac eight
bFeezed out that road and between
Silver Lake and Rossville reached a
speed of sixty-seven miles an hour.
At the speed that party travelled it
would have passed the stolen car be-
fore it reached Rossville. Nothing
Was seen of it.
The machine stolen was a Ford,
1914 model, and the state license
number was 210S1.
u left the car in the brightest place
Ipcould find, not because I thought
any one would steal it but to keep the
radiator from freezing up said Mr..
Neiswanger.

HER DUTY is DONE
Topeka Gives Washburn Need
ed $4,000 Fund.
As Evidence of Faith, Throws
in $4,000 More.
KANSAS MUST GIVE $4,000
Then Half Million Endowment
Has Reached Goal.
President WOmer's Great Sue
cess in Big Campaign.
KANSAS MUST GIVE $4,000

The $50, 600 that the workers set out
to raise in Topeka for Washburn col
lege has been raised.
In fact the campaign has resulted in
pledges amounting to exactly S62,O11.
The goal in the financial campaign
is an endowment for Washburn college
of 100000. Of this 100000 is to
come from the general education
board of New York, when the college
has raised 100000 and is out of debt.
OF this sum that the college is to
raise 100000 was apportioned to
Kansas and 100000 to Topeka. To-
peka has raised her apportionment
and there is yet $4,000 to be raised
in Kansas, by January 1, 1917. in order
to meet the requiem of the gen.
the 100000. Then there is a Wash
burn debt of $4,000 that must be
cleared, before the New York board
will turn over it's share.
But success is assured.
The greater amounts in the cam
paign have been raised and in the
present campaign Topeka not only re-
sponded literally to Washburn college,
but also learned to give.
Others on the Way.
There are number of other
pledges on the way" said President P.
P. Womer at the meeting of the work
erS, at the Chamber of Commerce this
noon, when the announcement OF the
completion of the raising of the fund
was made. These pledges will come
in time to count on the whole cam
paign," continued President Womer.
I'VE now have $4,000 remaining to
be raised in Kansas. Now that you
have gone thru the Topeka campaign,
you workers will realize tl-at this is
quite a task. But we will succeed.
We may have to come back to Topeka
to raise another $4,000 but that will
not be hard to do. 1t may not be
necessary to do that, but if it is we
know that Topeka will respond"
! When the reports of the teams were
made this noon the women's group,
| headed by Mrs. D. L. McEachron, as
usual. came in for its share of ap-
plause when Mrs. McEachron an
nounced a total of $1,705. OF this
amount $500 was an additional pledge
from the Women's Rotary club and
$1,2O5 from 14S members Of the
Womans club

$4,000 by January 1, will be COM
