BARRIERS HOLD REUNION
Plan to Bring All Nonunion Men Into
the Organization.

The line of demarcation between
union and nonunion BARRIERS was at
least temporarily erased, Thursday
night. when seventy-five local ton
serial artists held a big reunion in
the Royal Arcanum hall, SGT Kansas
avenue. Harmony and cooperation
developed at the meeting may become
permanent, practically all of the nom
union BARRIERS attending the meeting
having expressed their intention of
joining the organization, it is said.
The meeting was one of a series
that is being held in all parts of the
country under direction of the inter-
national organization with a view of
bringing nonunion BARRIERS within the
fold. June 26 has been designated ap-
plication day and another get togeth-
err" meeting probably will be held here
on that date.

Katrina Trask, play which has sold
to the extent of eleven editions and
has been enthusiastically backed by
the Drama League of America. BY
means of dramatic and yet not sensa-
tional scenes the moral of information
al peace and good will is preached
The play is a difficult one and once
the choice of the play was made the
cast was selected Immediately and has
had the advantage of weeks of hard
drilling for the performance The
play is coached by H Margaret Boo,
dramatic coach of the high school.
The cast includes nearly thirty per-
sons. The lead is taken by John Trox-
ell, who takes the part of Philip,
virulent preparedist who seeks to win
the love of Elsa and glory besides,
by his deeds on the battlefield. How
ever, the saddening scenes of the bat
tlefield and the manifest bad effects
of the war convert him to a pacifist.
The part of Elsa is played by Miss
Marian Dana, who has shown in pre-
vious productions, remarkable talent.
The play is the most pretentious ever
staged by local high school cast, and
affords Topeka theater goers a chance
to witness a play of national fame.

HARD man TO Get
Hugh Larimer Spent Four
Days After r.. p. Prosser.
Was Wanted on Charge of
Forging Check for SIS.

1t took Hugh Larimer, undersheriff,
four days to get p. P. ProSser out of
Oklahoma, and when he finally got
him over into Kansas 1t was in spite
of rather than with the assistance of
the police officers of Oklahoma City.
Prosser. charged with forgery. was
placed behind the bars in the county
jail early this morning and was ar
raiSned in the court of Topeka just
before noon. He pleaded not guilty
and is trying to arrange for a $500
bond.
Prosser is charged with forging the
name of J. H. McCreede to a check
for $500 cashed in Topeka He was
located in Oklahoma City by James
McGovern, city detective, and the
case was then turned over to the sher-
ifs office. Before Larimer left for
Oklahoma City he had a telegram say
ing Prosser was under arrest and
would he held for him.
When he arrived the police told him
Prosser had left the city Jail IL: the
custody of his attorney, just fifteen
minutes before Larimer came into
sight. Inquiry developed the fact that
Prosser had not been in Jail at all.
Several appointments were made for
Lariner to meet Prosser but on each
occasion an excuse was offered. Pros
ser was not at the given point.
The second day Larimer told the
Oklahoma police he had a telegram
MIN 10 return nome. lie
SAID he was going to the station and
left the impression he was returning
to Topeka. The next morning he was
at police headquarters and Prosser
was there also. There is a law in
Oklahoma which prohibits peace Off
GERS of another state from taking a
prisoner out of the Oklahoma county
in which he is captured until after
twenty-four hours
Willing to Come Back
Larimer was afraid to start for
Kansas with his prisoner so he took
him out of Oklahoma City to a little
town to hold him for twenty-four
hours. Prosser, in the meantime, had
fallen out with his attorney, and told
Larimer he was willing to sign a waiv-
er and come back at once.
While Prosser's attorney was in the
court house securing a writ of habeas
corpus Larimer had Prosser in an an
tomobile putting miles between them
and Oklahoma City.
Mrs. Prosser returned with her hus-
band and they have an explanation to
make for the IS check Prosser ad-
mitted today that he wrote all of the
check in question except the signature
of ]. H. McCreede.
McCreede formerly lived in Okla
homa City said Prosser, land owed
Mrs. ProsSer for room rent. We ran
across him in Topeka and agreed to
settle If he would pay five dollars. He
tried to make out a check on the
street ard made such bad job of it
that 1 wrote the check and he signed

County officers had Prosser write
the signature several times on a piece
of blank paper in order to compare it
with the signature on the check. There
is some similarity in the signatures
but not enough to make it conclusive.

Vegetable Cooking Advice
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Leave vegetables that you wish to
serve green uncovered in the cooking.
This rule applies to green peas, spinach,
brussels sprouts and sea kale, lettuce
cooked as a green
All green vegetables should be crisp
and fresh when cooked. II you receive
them wilted, soak them In cold water
until they are fresh.
Clean all vegetables thoroughly and
trim or sort them carefully before
cooking.
Cook cabbage, eaulinower, sea kaIe
and other vegetables with a strong odor
uncovered
Add a lump Of butter to caulinower
when it Is put on to cook to keep Il
white
Use a large amount Of water for cook
ing cabbage and other vegetables with
a strong favor.
Use small amount OF water to cook
green peas or other vegetables with deli
cate favor The French method OF lin
ing the dish in which peas are cooked
with lettuce, and then putting the peas
in without water is a very good one.
Salt darkens green vegetables, so
should be added after they are cooked.
Add salt to potatoes and other vege-
tables to which 1t Is added before they
are done or when they are half cooked.
Use a silver knife always TO slice egg
plant and tomatoes.
Use a silver fork and knife to peel
boiled sweet potatoes.
Scrub potatoes to be baked with a firm
brush.
Rub the skins Of potatoes to be baked
with little lard or butter. This keeps
the skin from becoming thick and
brittle.
Pierce potatoes that are baking when
they are about half done with a silver
fork. and when they are done, break
them gently open and let them stay
in the oven three or four minutes more.
Cook beets whole, with two or three
inches Of the stems on. unbroken.

Boiled turkey-Clean and truss in the
usual manner without stufing the bird
Dredge with flour and tie 1t up in a
piece Of new cheesecloth and plunge into
boiling water, slightly salted. This
toughens the skin temporarily so that the
juices will not escape before the turkey
begins to cook. Use as little water as ia
possible, doing all the cooking slowly.
Cook the giblets and feet as for other
grayies, but use white flour for the
thickening.
Egg and cress sandwiches-Pass the
yolks of four or more eggs through a
sieve and pound them to a paste with
two tablespoonfuls of butter. Season
with salt, pepper, a dust OF curry powder
and teaspoonful of vinegar. Add two
tablespoonfuls of finely chopped cress
Spread some buttered slices of thin bread
with the paste, make into sandwiches
roll in a damp napkin and place in tin
box until supper time. These can be
