SPECULATION ON COL RooSE.
VELT'S COURSE

There need be no uneasiness anon
Republicans as TO the part Col. Roose
Welt will play in the coming campaign
he will continue his campaign fol
preparedness and the upholding oil
the honor OF the country. Neces.
sarily he will support the platform
and nominees oil the Chicago conyen-
ton. Both are satisfactory to him.
The Republican convention was
absolutely free and untrammeled. 1t
was dominated by the IDEAS Col
Roosevelt has so strongly advocated
during the past ten months. Col.
Roosevelt got everything he could
have asked save the nomination. He
must be accredited with some sin
cerity, and if such is given him, an
understanding of his position is easy
He is somewhat disappointed but not
nearly so much as some of his camp
followers. In fact, Col, Roosevelt
mas already stated his position in
terms unequiyocal His appeal to
the Republicans and Progressives
alike to sink their political differen-
ces In the presence of issues vital
to the national life on the eve of the
nomination is still stronger and more
appropriate now, If such could be
possible, He quoted 10 Republicans
and Progressives the solemn words of
Abraham Lincoln, May not all, hav-
ing a common interest, reunite in a
common effort to save our common
country? He described the immeas-
urable misfortune that would befall
the country il Mr.. Wilson is elect
ed for a second term. 1t is incon-
ceivable that Col, Roosevelt should
have meant that his serious, earnest,
solemn words of warming and counsel
had no meaning unless he was COM
missioned with the nomination of the
convention.
We cannot believe, and the people
of the country cannot believe, that
Roosevelt would repudiate his own
counsel and advice, forget his own
warning, or lend his assistance to a |
project that could only result in the
misfortune which he |
had in mind. Caldwell Tribune.

this action is taken In order to give

a confession OF mental density to

see any great difference between
summary dismissal and forced resig-

GERMANY IS CALM
House Found No q. s. War
Sentiment There.
But Envoy Cautions President
ON U-BOat Issue.

Washington, March Cool. E. NJ.
House, who returned yesterday from
Europe, is understood to have told
President Wilson today that he found
no more prospects of peace during
his recent visit to the capitals of the
belligerent nations than he did on his
visit last spring.
Colonel House did not complete his
report to the president this morning
but planned to go over the European
situation thoroughly this afternoon.
1t was understood that although the
colonePs primary mission to Europe
he listened carefully to everything
said to MIN on the subject. Colonel
House is understood to have told the
president there is constant danger IN
tho negotiations with Germany be-
cause of feeling there over the sub
marine issue. Varying opinion over
the use of submarines exist. He told
the president the faction favoring
using submarines regardless of pro-
tests of neutrals is a strong one and
cannot be disregarded. Generally
speaking however, he found no senti-
ment in favor of war with the United
States.
The president and Colonel House
talked so long this morning that the
president was 40 minutes late keep
ing his first engagement at the exc
cutive office, very unusual proceed
ing for him

NONE TOO LITTLE
Smallest Nation in World Now
Mixed in Fray.
Austria Notifies Republic San
Marina She's at War.

Rome, March 6.-Austria considers
herself at war with the republic of
San Marine, is the MESA sc conveyed
by Frederick C. Penfiel6. American
ambassador to Austria Hungary, to
the regents of the smallest state in
the world, who had applied through
him to have their citizens interned in
Austria, released. Austria justified
her refusal with the statement that
San Marine has committed a serious
breach of neutrality.
The republic of San Marine, in
northern Italy, IA miles southwest of
Mimini, is % sque re miles in area and
has a population of $500. The SUI
preme power of the republic resides in
the general assembly and it is gov
erned by two regents selected twice
year from the sixty life members of
the great council. The available
armed forces of the republic form a
total of about 1900 men. all citizens
able to bear arms being technically
obliged to do so from the age of 16
to so years. This little state has had
an existence of about 1000 years. The
nature of the serious breach of neu-
trality which Austria alleges that San
Marine has committed is not record
ed. Soon after the declaration of war
by Italy on Austria it was rumored
that San Marine had made a similar
declaration, but this was never con-

CONTRACT is LET
Brick Paving for 1915 Goes to
Zeigler Brothers.
Asphalt Paving Is Held Up for
Another Week.

The contract for the brick paving to
be done in Topeka this year was let
this morning by the city commission
to Zeigler Bros. of Junction City, at
a price of $106,295.29. The nearest
bid above that figure was that of
Ritchie Bros. of Topeka, at sos, 942.19.
Zeigler Bros. We're the lowest bidders
and an investiga tion made by George
p. Hayden, city attorney, gave the
company a clean bill of health.
The commission did not let the con-
tract for the asphalt paving. There
was some question whether or not
that could be done legally with the
mandamus proceeding brought by the
Cleveland Trinidad Paving company
hanging over the commission In or
der to avoid any legal complications
Commissioner w. G. Tandy moved
that the letting of the contract for
the asphalt paving be postponed until
a week from today.
The hearing in the mandamus ac-
ton is set for March II, Saturday, in
the second division of the Shawnee
county district court 1t was brought
by the Cleveland company to compel
the city commission to open its bid on
asphalt paving and to enjoin the com
mission from letting the contract TO
any bidder whose bid was higher than
that of the plaintiff company. The
bid of the Security Paving company
of Kansas City, was lower than that
of the Cleveland company and some
members of the commission We're of
the opinion that the contract could be
let to the Security company without
violating the restraining order But
on Tandy's motion the matter was
postponed until next Monday.

CHARGE OF FRAUD
Topeka Woman Brings Suit
Against M. l.. Kelly.
Says Real Estate Man Made
Fraudulent Claims.
"HE PAINTED A WORD PICTURE"
Value of Farm She Got in Trade
Too Low, She Says.
"TOOk Advantage of Woman
Unused to Business"
che PAINTED A WORD PICTURE

Charges of fraud on the part of NJ.
L. Kelly, a real estate dealer, are made
in a suit filed with the clerk of the
Shawnee county district court by Mary
NJ. Myers against Kelly and the Pru-
Dental Trust company. The Pruden-
tial Trust company is restrained from
turning any of Mr.. Myers's property
over to Kelly or his agents pending the
hearing of the suit.
The case is filed by the law firm of
Schenck & Atchison and makes some
sensational charges. The basis of the
action is a trade Mrs. Myers alleges
she made of $500 worth of property
for a farm CT $50 acres in Mississippi.
Mrs. Myers states in her complaint
that she traded Topeka property
worth 50, 500, city bonds worth $4,000.
q mortgage worth $4,000 and an auto
mobile worth $500 for the Mississippi
farm. She alleges that Kelly made
fraudulent representations to her re-
garding the value of the farm and
what it would produce.
She states that Kelly told her the
farm was worth $4,000, that it would
raise $50 bushels of corn to the acre
for a hundred years without fertiliza-
ton.
She states that Kelly told her she
could raise 800 bushels of potatoes to
the acre each crop and that she could
raise three crops a year.
She states that Kelly told her there
was a sort of wild grass growing on
the land called 'Lupadeze'' which if
allowed to grow over the entire farm
would yield one and one-half tons to
the acre and that she could sell it for
from ten to fifteen dollars a ton.
Overflow of Boarders.
Again, she states that Kelly told
her there was a ten room house on
the place and that he would pay her
$50 a month to live on it and take
care of the overflow of boarders and
roomers from the hotels when he
brought his crowds of real estate buy
ers to that section.
Then, she says he offered to use the
land and pay her six per cent interest
on her investment
Those are the things Kelly told her
she says, when they closed the deal
February "a, 1916. But Mrs. Myers
says the real picture is far different
from the one painted before her eyes
by the man Kelly.
Mrs. Myers states in her complaint
that the land is not worth half what
it was represented to her to be.
2 She states that it will not produce
/ so bushels of corn to the acre now or
at any other time, with or without fer
tilization.
She. states that the land will not
raise one-fourth of 800 bushels of po-
tatoes to the acre.
She states that the talk about the
| overflow of boarders and roomers
from the hotels is merely a word pic
ture and that it has no basis in fact
And in conclusion Mrs. Myers states
that Kelly never intended to do the
| things he said he would do and that
he took advantage of a woman who
is unused to business affairs.

TO MEET WITH BANKERS
Business Men Will Urge an Extension
of the Clearing House.

A general discussion of the present
alleged clearing house evil will be held
in short time between business men
and bankers. Charles S. Elliott, for
merly president of the Commercial
club, made motion today to the eff
feet that the officers of the club ar
range for a meeting with Topeka
bankers and endeavor to arrange some
method by which Topeka's Clearing
House can become as up to date as
those of other cities.
Fully a hundred members of the
Commercial club were members and
voted unanimously for the Elliott mo-
ton. This action follows an address
Friday at the Commercial club by E.
L. Copeland. He urged Topeka bank
ers to follow lines similar to those of
bankers in other cities, throw aside
petty jealousies and give the town the
full benefit of advertising such as can
be obtained if all of Topeka's bank
clearings are included in reports sent
out of the city and published through
out the country.

KNOCKS TRADE STAMPS
U. S. Supreme Court Upholds States
Right to Impose Tax.

Washington. March 6.-By holding
that the states have the power to i'm
pose taxes, larNe or small, on trade
coupons redeemable in premiums, the
supreme court today put the legality
of premium advertising. by which it
is estimated SIPS, 100000 worth of
merchandise is sold annually, within
the scope of state laws.
The widespread practice of giving
coupons with cigars, cigarettes and to-
bacco Cr premium slips or trading
stamps with other merchandise was
thus held to be entirely under the con-
troll of the states.
The action today of the United
States supreme court in placing the
trading stamp problem under the jur-
isdiction of the several states, may af-
ford new revenue producing measure
for Kansas in the next legislative s5s-
sion. On several occasions in recent
yeaLp the Kansas legislature has been
confronted by a measure which pro-
duced a tax on premium stamps and
coupons given by corporations, firms
and individuals in the stimulation OF
trade. Fearing that the measure
would not withstand the test of the
courts, it was never enacted into law.
