Topeka IN MOVIE
Charles e. Hughes's Picture
Shows State House Crowd.
CensOrs Didn't Bother Repub-
lican Campaign Film.

Candidate Charles Evans Hughes is
corning back to Kansas in the movies.
1t was a mere formality this morning,
the censoring of the Hughes pictures
by the Republican censor board Some
one asked what a censor board under
the Hodges administration would have
done with such pictures, which served
by their appeal and by their captions
to roast the Wilson administration and
arouse enthusiasm for Charles Evans
Hughes.
Three reels of the pictures have
been received in Kansas thru the eff
forts of the Republican state central
committee and will be sent to moving
picture theaters in nearly every town
in Kansas "A Reunited Party is
the name of the picture.
Pictures Hughes's Home.
The first reel shows the Hughes
family, singly and collectively, the
Hughes home, the opening of the
Hughes campaign at Detroit, August
Z, and the immense Hughes crowds in
Of the pictures shows the crowd on the
state house grounds in Topeka when
Hughes visited the city. Especially
beautiful are the Colorado pictures of
Hughes and his wife enjoying :
breathing spell in the mountains.
But American enthusiasm will reach
its height when the second reel is
shown. First one sees Charles Evans
Hughes addressing an audience, then
a portion of his speech on the Next
can situation in which he brings home
to the hearers, or witnesses, the heart
throbs surrounding removal of the ma
tional guard to the border. Last is a
bona fide picture of a guardsman kiss
ing his wife and baby goodbye on a
depot platform.
Street Fight at Vera Cruz.
Hughess opinioS of the punitive ex-
petition which caused more suffering
to Americans than to Mexicans APP
pears. Then there is a picture of the
bleak. alkali plains of Mexico with
American troops passing over them.
The loss of life in the street fighting
at Vera Cruz is abhorred by the can
didate and pictures of street fighting
in Vera Cruz are thrown on the
screen; also pictures of the loading OF
bodies of dead troopers on trains al
Vera Cruz and their unloading at New
York City.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt appears in
a number of pictures as well as Will

of the participation in the Hughes

IS DAY
Saturday Last Chance to Con-
tribute to Lincoln Fund.
ButtOnhOle American Flags a
Feature of Big Campaign.

Tomorrow is the day. That is the
watchword of all those interested in
the Lincoln Statue fund campaign.
A Lincoln statue enthusiast if he
is to be consistent will have busy day
if he would part with coin in all the
ways planned by the committee in
charge.
AS ne gets off his car in the morn
ing he must purchase a little button
hole American flag from one of many
pretty flag-sellers. For this he may
pay from a nickel up to a dollar
the amount depending upon his en-
thusiasm. On his way to his office he
should part company with pennies
or nickels, dimes and upward-in one
of the convenient Lincoln penny jars
scattered turnout town. 1t may be
that his office or place of work will
be invaded by pretty girls selling. Lin
coin statue postcards, at the rate of
ten for two-bits. Here is another
chance.
On his way to lunch he cannot fail
to pass by one of the many booths
along Kansas avenue where one may
buy from an assortment of candy,
cards, talcum powder, complexion
cream, and even jeweIry. Many drug
gists have donated part of their stock
to the cause. And before he takes a
home-bound car in the evening he
should stop again at the booths where
he may purchase, reasonably, the ex-
ira things fer the Sunday dinner. Pies.
cakes and pastries OF all sorts will be
or sale. There will be candy, jelly
and desserts of all kinds. THE Lin
coin fund campaign has resulted in
some real food bargains for the To-
peka citizens" declares one young wo-
man in charge of the booths.
Topeka women should follow a pro-
gram and itinerary similar to the
above, with, however. some additions.
In the morning they can attend the
special benefit performance at the
Iris. And If they go ANNOUNCING in
the afternoon they will swell the fund
| by attending the Orpheum or the
Cozy, both of which places are giving
portion of the receipts towards the
statue.
More than thirty prominent To-
peka firms will offer a percentage of
their sales toward the fund, so-do
all your shopping tomorrow.
| The Gage studio at 1881 Fillmore
street will be open all day tomorrow
and all of Topeka from Shorey to the
fair grounds is invited to see its first
municipal statue nearing completion.
The members of the Ceramic club will
act as hostesses to the crowd.

MOURN BREMEN
Relatives of U-BOat Liner Crew
Give Up Hope.
One of Owners Officially An
nOunces Craft Is Lost.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 20.-Paul G. L.
Hilken admitted today that the Ger
man merchant submarine Bremen is
a month overdue; that he feared the
vessel 3ad met with an accident and
that slsA had been lost with all her
crew. This is the first time that any
one in a position to know the German
side of the story of the Bremen has
permitted his name to be used in con-
nection with the belief that the ship
is lost.
Hilken is the American manager of
the Deutsche Ocean Rhederei, owners
of the Bremen and the Deutschland.
Hilken returned to Baltimore today
from New London, Conn, where for
weeks he has been awaiting the ar
rival of the U-liner. He made no ef-
for to hide the grief he felt over the
fate Of the boat and of the members
of the crew, thirty officers and men.
Hilken has advices from Germany
that the mem bers of the families of
the Bremen's crew are mourning them
as dead. He said that the U-53 prob
ably had been sent to this side to
search for the missing submarine. He
denied that more than one Bremen
was built and said he believes the
Deutschland will make another trip.

GRAHAM IN DEFENSE
Witness Says Girl Ran Around With
TenuesSeetOWn Boys.

The defense had its inning today in
the case OF the state against Robert
Graham, the negro charged with
statutory offense against his l5-year-
old stepdaughter.
Graham's 16-year-old son went on
the stand in the first division of the
district court, and testified to con-
versation he overheard between Mrs
Graham and her daughter, Alberta
Powers, the complaining witness in
the case. He declared he heard Al
berta Powers suggest to her mother
when the latter learned of her condi-
ton, that they lay it onto Ora ma m
and get title to the property when he
went to the penitentiary.'
He also testified that the girl had
been running around in Tennessee
town with several negro boys.
The defense will complete its testi-
mony late this afternoon and the
probabilities are the case will go to
the jury today.
