tor MARITIME today again pressed his
resolution to have President Wilson
urge a stay of execution for Sir Roger

foreign relations committee told the
senate Ambassad dor Page had informed

posed Senator Marines resolution.
For The United States to make Of

request Of Easements sister, had Page

FAITH IN A ROAD
Dover and Auburn Farmers
Meet at Commercial Club.
Belief That Brick Highway
Will Be Certainty Soon.

Twenty farmers from Dover and
Auburn ate luncheon ct the Topeka
Commercial club this noon anG dis
cussed q brick road from Topeka to
Dover and then to Auburn, as a part
of the Southwest Trails. The meeting
continued until late nour this after
noon.
The representatives of these tive
districts expressed confidence III their
ability to create a benefit district for
the road that would pay for a greater
part of the highway. They asked how
much Topeka would be willing to ad-
vance in obtaining the hard surface
highway to the southwestern part of
Shawnee county.
Between $500 and 1000 mile
replied w. p. Montgomery.
81 believe we can raise that much, -
said J. Will Kelley, secretary of the
club.
The farmers nodded approval.
Then they launched into an exhaus-
tive analysis of the Hodges good
roads law, discussed the personnel and
generosity of the land owners in the
proposed benefit districts. Just when
petitions will be circulated was not
announced.
The enthusiasm for a brick road to
. Dover and Auburn grows out of a
proposition made by a representative
of a brick concern to the Topeka
Commercial club. In order to intro
duce the brick road and get the peo-
pie started right" he guaranteed that
the company would build an initial
brick, country road in Shawnee county
at the same cost as an asphalt road,
approximately $4,000 a mile.
The exact width of the proposed
highway was not determined although
it is known that it will be narrow.

NAVAL CLASH, MAYBE
Report Bremen Is Conveyed by Ger.

This story, told by a naval expert

BEER WAGONS CAN RUN

Kansas City, Kan, July 22.-Judge
F. D. Hutchings of the Wyandotte
county court ruled against the mu-
nicipality today in the fight to keep
brewery wagons off the streets. He
held unconstitutional Section 1 of the
ordinance which forbids liquor wag-
ons the use of the streets.
Section 8, forbidding wagons on
which liquor advertisements are
painted or printed, was held to be con-
Stitutional.
The effect is to allow the delivery of
beer in plain trucks or wagons. Hired
transfer wagons or brewery trucks
with the signs painted out can be used.
Drivers of beer wagons will be ar
rested as usual" said Thomas NJ Van
Cleave, assistant city attorney, in
charge of the fight against the brew
ers.
Notice of appeal to the supreme
court was filed at once
The ruling was in the case of Harry
Jordan, driver for the Rochester
brewery.

5 BANKS--NO CLUE

Three RObberies Within the
Last Twenty Days.
ONE GANG is RESPONSIBLE?
That Is Belief of Local Officials

Banks Are Easy Prey.

In five bank robberies in this Sec
ton of the state-three of them with
in the last twenty days-banks haVe
lost in the neighborhood of $13,ooo.
And to date not a single capture mas
been made. There are clues and clues
and there are half a dozen officers
on every clue but no real bandits have
been arrested. Below are the robberies
reported in the last year and the
amounts secured by the robbers:
Maple Hill. $4,000; Everest. SS.00o;
st. Marys. $4,000; Jarbalo, s3.ooo;
Linwood, 81 500.
The last three robberies have been
committed since July of this year
There are numerous things connected
with each to indicate the same gang
is responsible for all of them. Auto
mobiles have been used in all cases
Local officials believe one gang is
responsible for the last three rohbetieS
and possibly for the two earlier rob
berries and they believe Kansas city
the gang. Every clue followed up in
the different robberies has led in that
direction.
Through Union Station.
In the St. Marys case the best clues

the Kansas City union station
In the Jarbalo case motorcycle

they are comparatively safe. They

| Small country banks fall an easy
prey to bandits with nerve. Ordinar-
lily the cashier is the only person resu-
larly employed in the bank and few
people call during the busy farm sea-
son. Frequently the cashier is wo-
man. In the case of the St. Marys
banks it was made night job and the
safe was blown. but at Jarbalo and
Linwood it was just "a matter of ask

AFTER CANTU'S SCALP
Carranza Sends Troops to Gust Gov
ernOr of Lower California.

Washington, July 22.-The action of
Carranza in sending 1000 troops to
GUST Governor Cantu from Lower CAL
afornia was said by Mexican officials
today to be a result of the latter's in
dependent policy toward the Mexican
rcvolutionists, almost from the days of
Madero. Cantu has held strictly aloof
from the Carranza-Villa struggle.
His last act of independence was to
declare Lower California neutral in
the Mexican embroglio. In the mean
ti1ne Cantu has maintained his state
in a better degree of quiet and order
than any other section of Mexico has
enjoyed. He has collected taxes regu-
1arly, and generally established a
greater degree of prosperity than ex-
lists in other sections of the republic.
Cantu some time ago issued a warn
ing that he would attack either
NiIlistas or Carranzistas who attempt
ca to enter his territory. lie refused
to recognize any Mexico City author
ity. until what he considers a stable
government has been established.
