He HAS A MOTOR
Receiver of the LeavenwOrth
and Topeka Railroad
Is Preparing to Install Service
Between the Terminals.

A motor car which will be placed
on the Leavenworth and Topeka
tracks and furnish a morning service
into Topeka for residents of Oska-
loosa and Ozawkie is now in the shops
at Kansas City being reprinted and
made ready for service in a short
time, according to a statement made
today at the office of the public utili-
ties commission by w. A. Austin, re-
ceiver for the road. In long distance
communication with court officials at
Kansas City this morning, Mr.. Austin
made arrangements for a conference
with Federal Judge Pollock upon that
officials return from Oklahoma.
AT that conference, Mr.. Austin will
get Judge Pollock's views on the lati-
tude permitted him under the contract
now existing between his road and the
Santa Fe for the use of the latters
track between Topeka and Meriden
and also for the use of the Santa Fe's
depot and ticket office in Topeka and
North Topeka. With this information
at his disposal Mr.. Austin will feel safe
in going ahead and placing a better
service on the road, providing Judge
Pollock interprets the contract to al
low the installation of additional
trains on the road.
Controversy Already.
This morning, Mr.. Austin stated that
indicate that the Leavenworth and
Topeka should not install as much adj
ditional service as it desired. How
ever, a slight controversy arising over
the operation of an excursion train to
Oskaloosa last Sunday has made him
apprehensive of court action. Hence,
his determination to get the courts
opinion before installing the motor. 1t
was pointed out to Mr.. Austin by GER
tain officials that nothing in the con-
tract with the Santa Fe made allow
ance for Sunday service.
Mr.. Austin came right back by
pointing out that nothing indicated
that Sunday service could not be
placed on the road. The same argu-
ments hold good in the installation of
a motor service, nothing for or
against it, Mr.. Austin declares.
A Quicker Service.

Reward for sBeSt Dressed" in
Topeka High School.
But 1t Isn't the Elaborate
Clothes That Will Count.
HOME LASS VIII BE FAVORED
Girl Who Makes Own Clothes to
Stand Better Show.
Prize Will Be an Annual Affair,
Says Superintendent.

A prize contest for the "best dressed
girl in school, is plan that Superin-
tendent H. B. Wilson and Principal A.
J. Stout of the high school are con-
sidering now.
But girls, don't figure on procuring
gowns by Lucille and Paris hats if you
intend to enter the contest. The prizes
will not be awarded for the biggest
total of bills incurred.
The points that will be considered
will be taste, economy, artistic beauty,
tailoring. The girls that make their
own garments and make them well
will stand a better show than the girl
who needs an adding machine to total
her months purchase and dressmak-
er's bills.
Start Next Term.
The contest will not be inaugurated
until next term. The idea was derived
from similar plan in use in the
Berkeley schools in California. There
the custom of an annual prize giving
has created a beneficial tendency to-
ward sensibleness, tastefulness and
economy in dress.
The prize giving will probably be an
annual affair, the winner to be deter
mined by jury composed of the
women teachers of the high school.

PIPE GAVE HIM AWAY
George Buclxner Is Held for RObbing
U. p. Pharmacy.

When the Union Pacific pharmacy
in North Topeka was broken into last
night a wornout pipe was left beside
the cash register. Harvey Parsons,
chief of police, found it this morning
when he searched the place for clue.
Later in the morning George Buck
ner colored, was arrested. He was
booked for investigation and Parsons
searched him. While Parsons was go
ing through Buckner's pockets he had
the old pipe in his hand and to all
appearances pulled it out of Buckners
coat pocket.
what's that rubber wrapped
around the stem for?" he asked of
Buckner.
THAT pipes not much good" re-
piled Buckner The stems loose and
I wrapped the rubber around it to hold
it in"
Immediately thereafter Buckner
was booked for burglary. He doesn't
know it yet but the pipe incident
cinched the charge against him. He
didn't know. apparently, that he had
left a pipe anywhere.
The store was broken into during
the night. Heavy metal screen-work
on a rear window was bent down and
entrance was made through the win
dow The cash register had been
rifled but the person or persons who
committed the burglary missed the
drawer in which there was about fifty
dollars in change, tied up in a sack.
All that was taken was few buffalo
nickels and some pennies.
Buckner has served time in the pen
itentiary, according to the police.
When he was searched a v1lainous
weapon in the form of a razor blade
clamped to a wooden handle was re-
moved from his pockets. He is well
known in Topeka and has been in
trouble at various other times.

JURY SAYS NOT GUILTY
Verdict of Acquittal Rendered in the
Dalrymple Case.

''The jury" read the court stenog-
rapher from the verdict, finds the
defendant not guilty"
without waiting to hear anything
further Carl Dalrymple, young hus-
band and father, charged by Mae Dali
rympIe with wife and child desertion,
hurried around the table to his wife's
side. She inclined her head slightly
while the man whispered to her. The

table paid no attention to the court
nor the Jury Their eyes were fixed
on the two principals in the case.

court for three days.

him." whispered John Schenck, his at
torney, to another attorney. Il knew
he was going to do it if the jury found
him not guilty. 1 hope she goes"
Mrs. Dalrymple did not indicate by
look nor action how she accepted his
proposal. He whispered with her for
perhaps two minutes, then took mis-
cap and left the court room. Mrs.
Dalrymple helped put the wraps on
her two children and went out with
relatives.
Neither the attorneys for Mrs. Dali
rymple nor Mr.. Schenck knew
whether the peace negotiations would
be successful but both have expressed
the hope that the Dalrymple domestic
affairs may be patched up and that
the two little children may grow up
with the advantage of two parents.
The whole morning session was de-
voted to arguments by the attorneys,
following the reading of the instruc-
lions to the jury by Judge G. H
Whitcomb. The instructions were to
the effect that it made no difference
that Mrs. Dalrymple was not at her
husbands home when she set up the
claim that she had been deserted; that
the husband was bound to support her
and keep her out of necessitous Cir
cumstances no matter where she was
In the face of that the jury declined to
find him guilty.

7. R. TO CHICAGO

He Wants to Sound Attitude of
German Voters.

Chicago, Ill, April 25.-Theodore
roosevelt is coming to Chicago this

break from the German voters-that
large percentage of them admire his

To BALK ON ROOT
Roosevelt VIII Not Support
Him if He's Nominated.
Colonel Will Head Third Party
in Such an Event.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, April 25.@Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be at the head of a
third ticket if Elihu Root is nominated
for the presidency by the Republican
convention at Chicago.
Judge Albert d. Nortoni, of st.
Louis, Progressive leader of Missouri
and nominee of that party for COVER
nor of the state, made this announce
ment directly following a long confer
ence with Mr.. Roosevelt.
After the conference was ended
Judge Nortoni was asked:
'Will the ProgreSsives of the middle
west support Senator Root if he is
nominated by the Republicans"
dramatically no." was the reply.
Continuing, Judge Nortoni said: 81
know that Colonel Roosevelt will not
support Senator Root on the Repub-
lican ticket. I know that no such sup
port has been promised by Colonel
Roosevelt, either directly or indirectly.
Straight Third Party
eff Mr.. Root is nominated it will
simply mean straight out third party
fight right down the line, just as
in 1912 and 1 believe this year we
could elect Colonel Roosevelt on the
Bull Moose ticket"
Just how far Judge Nortoni speaks
for Colonel Roosevelt could not be
ascertained. 1t is known to a certainty,
however, he speaks for the great body
of Progressives in the middle west
and his statement can be taken as
their ultimatum.
With this threat of a third ticket
flung at the regular Republicans with
the convention little more than a
month away, the Roosevelt adherents
are planning a whirlwind dash now
to capture the nomination for their
chief.
From these rumors gathered during
the colonel's visit to New York Mon
day and those that are actively in
circulation here, the fight for the nom
nation is believed to be narrowing
down to Roosevelt and Hughes.

Alba Says the Weed Is Being Used
Extensively Here.

Augustin Alba. city detective, de-
clares that loco-weed locally grown, is
sending denizens of "Topeka's under
world to the insane asylums.
Alba is a Mexican and knows the
effects of the loco-weed upon the hu-
man brain. He has seen its effects
upon soldiers in Mexico and upon
criminals in his own country. Alba
found some of the weed growing in a
yard down on the river bank and after
finding a package of it upon a Mexi-
can, searched at the police station, is
satisfied that the weed is being grown
in Topeka and used by criminals in
lieu of the various drugs used previous
to the enactment of the federal drug
law.
The weed has no effect unless one
inhales it with the smoke of a cigar
or cigarette" said Alba. Then it
brings up visions of riches and hap
piness. It is a very dangerous drug
and in persons of a nervous tempera-
ment quickly causes insanity. l know
of two cases at the State hospital 1 am
sure were caused by loco weed"
Loce weed grows wild on the prai-
ries in western Kansas and will grow
under cultivation in Topeka or almost
anywhere else.

To WORK IN FORD FACTORY

New York. April 25.-Louis En-
RIGHT, inventor of substitute for gas
oline to sell at Il cents per gallon, is
reported to have sold his secret to
Henry Ford, the automobile manufac-
turer.
The story was told in Farmingdale,
L. l., where the inventor lives, by his
intimate friends. According to the re-
port, Enricht told friend he had
signed, sealed and delivered the
goods to Henry Ford
1t is reported that Enricht will go
to the Ford factory in Detroit and
continue his work
What Enricht received for his in
vention could not be learned.
Ford Visits Enricht.
Detroit, April 25.-"Henry Ford
visited Louis Enricht, the inventor, a
few days ago in New York.
The above statement was made by
Ford's secretary, Mr.. Delavigne. 1t
was also said CASTOR Plaintiff, New
York manager for Ford, will decide on
the merits of Enricht's cheap fuel and
that the automobile manufacturer will
be guided by Plaintiffs report.
Says It's Old Scheme.
Elmira, N. Y, April 25.-E. L. Lew
is, local inventor, declares that the
water and a chemical mixture is not
new and that he worked out the plan
successfully before the present publ
city was given to the proposition by
Louis Enricht, the Farmingdale, L. l.,
inventor.
Mr.. Lewis said he can make wates
perform the same function as gasoline
by the addition of one ounce of sui
phuric acid to each gallon. Sulphuric
acid can be purchased for less than a
cent an ounce and he says the hydro
gen gas generated by a battery cur
rent would show higher test than the
best gasoline on the market today.
How 1t Is Done.
He would equip the regular gasoline
tank with two electrodes, one positive
and the other negative. These con-
nected with a storage battery, would
generate hydrogen gas, which Mr..
Lewis says will pass through any car
bureter into the motor as effectively
as gasoline. An. open air vent in the
tank would give an outlet for too nigh
pressure of gas and backfire would
be quenched by the water.

South Coffeyville, Okla, looked upon
as the worst place in the middle west,
when he left Topeka this morning for
a conference with S. p. Freezing, at
torney general of Oklahoma, Fred
Robertson, United States district at
torney, and a representative of the
United States Indian service: Attor-
ney General Brewster hopes to get
the Oklahoma officials and the govern
ment officials to cooperate and make
South Coffeyville a decent place to
live in instead of a rendezvous for
thugs, bandits and other disreputab le
characters. In order to clean UP the
town it will require the cooperation of
both state and government depart
ments.
South Coffeyville is just across the
Kansas line. Oklahoma and Kansas
both have prohibitory laws and it is
also in the Indian country. The rail-
roads refuse to ship liquor to the dis
orderly house proprietors and jointists
in Oklahoma on account of the fedora
statute which bears down hard on
those shipping liquor into Indian
country.
All Hands Tied.
Instead the liquor is shipped into
Coffeyville and is hauled across the
line in wagons. Kansas cannot stop
the movement as long as no sales are
made within the state. Recently a
man hauling liquor across the state
line was taken before the court by the
Kansas attorney general and charged
with maintaining a nuisance. 1t was
held that as he sold the liquor across
the border he was not maintaining a
nuisance in Coffeyville although such
construction might be placed on his
activities across the line.
the Oklahoma officials have been
unable to close up South Coffeyyille
because of local conditions and n
feeling that cooperation from Kansas
OFFICIALS is needed. The government
mas not been active in preventing the
introduction of liquors into the Indian
country unless actual sales of Houor
were made to Indians.

strike is in progress resulted in an
other clash with guards today. The
