A MURDER CLEW
Missing Tooth Is Strong Point
in Sweets Favor.
Plaster Casts of Teachers
Body Shows MutilatiOns.

Syracuse. Kan. May 31-With the
introduction by the prosecution of
that portion of the body of Miss Nell
lie Byers the murdered Grant county
school teacher, that had been multi
ated by teeth marks, the state closed
its case today against Archie Sweet,
on trial herefor the crime.
The defense then called as its first
witness DR.. E. H Ballou of Grant
county. a dentist. who sought to how
that the marks could not have been
made by Sweet. 1t becam known
through the introduction of the teeth
marked skin. that the state had had
Miss Byers'S body exhumed few days
after the burial last October and that
section of it was preserved in al
coEol. DR.. Ballou, when he was called
by the defense. exhibited two t. bles
covered with plaster Paris casts and
drawings of the teeth marks that he
said had been made few hours before
the girls burial
Sweets Tooth Missing.
The bite was over the last rib on the
left side and Doctor Ballou testified
that a missing bicuspid tooth on the
left side of Sweets mouth would have
made it impossible for him to make
such bit. The prints offered by DIR.
Ballou showed a missing bicuspid
tooth but on the right side of the
mouth
Sweets attorneys attempted to offer
a demurrer to the states evidence at
the close of its presentation, but Judge

Sweet probably will take the stand
late today.

ONE ROUND OF JOY
The Program of Summer Playground
Season Is Announced.

Topeka children will have one
round of JOY on the Fairgrounds this
summer. There will be no COM
plants about lack of amusement, as
every minute has been filled with so
seconds of recreation for the chill
dren.
W. P. Mclean, playground director.
issued the following general an
nouncement of activities today:
There will be a big track and field
meet at Ripley park on the new run
ming track at 9 a. m. on July 4. All
grade and high school pupils are eligi-
BILE to enter. There will be separate
meets for each. Prizes will be given
in each event.
Several of the grounds will have
wading pools in addition to the ap-
paratus used last year. Each ground
will have its own mayor and other
city officers, for whom all can vote.
There will be tournaments and con-
tests in baseball. volley bali. tennis.
croquet, horseshoes, wrestling, etc,
with suitable prizes There will be
track meets, pushmobi races. bicycle
races, roller skate races, picnics and
hikes. There will be regular lessons
in industrial work, nature study.
sewing, folk dancing, acrobatics, gym
nastics, wall scaling, etc, with prizes
and rewards for especial merit.
There will be a doll parade, Ian
tern parade, a bicycle parade, a tour
nament of games, and a pageant at
the end of the season, in which every
child will be given a chance to take
part.
Fairgrounds will be kept open late
in the evening, so that those who
work in the daytime can play in the
evening. All equipment will be fur
nished free of charge. Some of the,
best athletes in Kansas have been Sc
cured to coach on these grounds, and
every boy should take, advantage of
the chance to train. We want every
child in town to enroll on a play
ground and spend his spare time
there.
If a playground happens to be
placed at a certain school, it does not
mean that the ground is just for the
use of the children who go to that
school, bu tit is for all of the chill
dren who can get to it. For example
Potwin grounds are for Clay, Potwin
and Sumner children. Polk grounds
are for Garfield, Van Buren,, Harrison
and Polk.

WILL BE NO BOLT
Kanaval Says Republicans Will
Stand by Roosevelt
If He Be Nominated by the
Chicago Convention.

There will be TO bolt of Roosevelt
by the standpat Republicans if the
colonel be nominated in Chicago next
week. That was the prediction today
of George w. Kanaval of Sedgwick
Harvey county, a We'll known Kansas
politician, former member of the stat e
railroad commission and a candidate
for the senate from the Harvey Nc
Pherson county district at this time
Kanaval IS a graduate of the old
school in Kansas politics. He has
trained with the conservative wing of
the party for many years and is in
close touch with conditions il his sec
ton of the state. He does not be-
lieve that the nomination of Roosevelt
would cause the colonel to lose TWEEN
ty Republican votes IN his county next
fall
There is a growing sentiment for
Roosevelt in my county," said Kama
file his nomination petitions as a can
didate for the state senate from the
Thirtieth district. Personally. I have
been for Hughes or Root and have
felt that a majority of the people in
my county are for them. But this talk
about the Republicans boiling Roose-
welt if he is nominated is bosh. Just
plain bosh-
This is my guess. The Republicans
will next week nominate some strong
man. He will be given the supporf of
the party. I don't believe there will
be a bolt. In my county Roosevelt
will get the party vote if he be nomi-
mated. 1 don't believe he will lose
twenty Republican votes in Harvey
county"
kanaval was elected state railroad
commissioner in 1906 and served until
January, 1911. He was defeated for
denomination in 1910. following a
break with Governor stubbs. Four
years previous, however, Kanaval had
been nominated in the last state con-
vention with the aid of the Stubbs-
Dolley influence after his name had
been dropped from the slate of the
sta ndpat leaders

The law providing for the weighing OF

cars. at the mines Efforts were made
by mining operators and railroad Of
ficials to observe the law. Their ef-
forts were not success. representa-
tiyez of the public utilities commits
SION were told today. and a conpro-
mise concerning the weighing of coal
was asked. Judge A. z. Helm repre-
sented the state commission in the
conference while several local attor-
news appeared for the railroads and
mining companies. Nearly all of the
mines and railroads operating in the
coal producing districts were repre-
serted.
Az result of todays conference IL
is PROBABLE that an agreement will be
reached concerning the method OF
Weighing coal at the mines or at load

an agreement will be reached con-
corning an amendment to the existing

during the 1917 session of the state

DR.. MACGART ACCEPTS
He Will Succeed DR.. TroxelI as Pastor
of English Lutheran.

Charles Warren Maggart, D. D., of
Cedar Rapids. Iowa. has accepted the
call of the First English Lutheran
church to Topeka and will occupy the
pulpit July LIST. DIR. Maggart came to
Topeka two weeks ago to look over
the church here, under the unusual
situation of looking over the church
instead of letting the congregation
look him over before their decision.
He was unanimously rendered a call
by reason of his splendid record in
previous churches. Dr. Maggart will
succeed DIR. NJ. F. Troxell, who for the
past five years has been pastor of the
Topeka church and who recently re-
signed in order to take up the work
of the chaplain at the State industrial
school.
DR.. Maggart is one of the best
known men in the Lutheran synod.
He has been pastor of the church at
Cedar Rapids, Ia. for over 10 years
He built up the membership of the
church in that time from 100 to 500,
and recently completed the erection of
A $4,000 church building. Previous
to his pastorate at Cedar Rapids, he
was at Salina, Kan.

Among other things that disap-
peared from the store were twelve

crawled through the hole. going in and
out. as far as the police are able to
to determine.
The police theory is that there was
more than one person engaged in the

could begin to carry all that was taken
unless he made several trips back and
forth through the transom-
No one has been found VINO heard

TO CERMANY'S AID
Austria Believed Rushing Large
Forces to Verdun.
Estimate Teutons VIII Have
Million Soldiers There.

Paris. May 31.-There are wide
spread rumors that a large Austrian
force is on the way to the western
front, either to take over portion of
the German line or to participate di-
rectly in the fighting at Verdun.
From Swiss sources came the re-
port that the aged emperor, Franz
Josef has asked that Austrian troops
be allowed to share in the grano as
sault on the French fortress. In some
Quarters it is believed that the Aus
trian offensive against the Italians
was delivered to conceal the shifting
of large Austrian forces TO the west
ern front. Before the end of the week
4 is believed here the crown prince
will be hammering against the French
lines with a force numbering nearly
one million men.
