Mystery of Physicians Bur-
glaries Is Cleared Today.
Wade Smith, 49, Year Old
Fiend, Tells of His Acts.
HID NEEDLES NEAR SEABROOK
Entire Outfit Is Found by Hugh
Larimer, Undersheriff.
Smith Sent to RefOrmatOry for
Stealing at Manhattan.

The mystery regarding the burglar
izing of the offices of half a dozen
Topeka physicians has been cleared
up. Wade Smith, a 19-year-old boy,
drug fiend, did it. He confessed to it
while on his way to the Hutchinson
state reformatory from Manhattan,
where he was convicted of burglary.
Local officers did not take much
stock IN his story but there was a way
to prove or disprove it. He stated that
he hid a dope kit containing needles
and three vials of drug in an OUT
house back of a grocery store in Sea-
brook.
Hugh Larimer wanted to know
whether Smith was guilty. If he was
there was no use to keep looking in
Topeka for the burglar. He started
out Friday afternoon looking for the
hidden outfit. He searched in half d
dozen places and finally late in the
afternoon found peculiar looking
package under an outbuilding back of
the Woo1pert grocery store in Seabook.
The building was overturned and
two packages were found. One con-
tanned a whole box of chocolates and
the other contained the needles and
drugs.
Dope fiends have a hankering for
sweets" said Larimer, land when we
found the candy 1 was sure we had
struck the right place. The needles
and three walls of drugs were Just as
Simth said we would find them He
gave as a reason for not taking this
particular package with him the fact
that the drugs were new ones to him
and he was afraid to try them

Call Today for Both State and
National Institutions.
First Indication of Returns on
the 1915 Wheat Crop.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS GOOD
Believed That September IL
Call Will Show 26O Million.
Money From Corn Crop Will
Not Be Shown Until Later.

Kansas banks-both state and ma
tional-were today directed to publish
statements as to their financial condi-
ton at the close of business Tuesday,
September II. The report will give
the first indication as to the return to
Kansas farmers from their 1916 wheat
crop. 1t is believed in banking circles
that the showing will break the former
record established June 80, this year.
when Kansas banks showed deposits
aggregating $252,53S,397.15.
The joint call for state and national
bank reports at this time is of much
interest in banking and financial cir
cles. The report will definitely out
line the states financial condition at
this time. Much of the money from
the movement of the 1916 wheat crop
is now in the hands of the Kansas
farmers. The threshing bills have been
paid and the farmers have deposited
their profits. In the cattle and hog
producing counties record prices have
been received during the last few
weeks.
Very Little Corn.
Very little corn is being gathered
in Kansas this year except in the ex-
treme northern counties. The entire
output for the state may not total so
million bushels. Money from the corn
crop, however, will not affect bank
reports until later in the fall.
Financial conditions in Kansas al
this time are generally regarded as ex-
cellent. The bank report, though, will
show definitely the strong and weak
districts, with a grand total for the
state at large. Several shrewd bankers
anticipate another record in the show
ing of the banks both in the matter OF
deposits and loans and discounts.
In their reports for June 80, the
state banks showed deposits of S145.-
6S5,397.15 with loans and discounts
of s127,553,544.07. National banks

HE IS WISER TODAY.


 M, T. Mcbride, one of the pass engers aboard the Admiral Evans last evening, while the boat was in port made up his mind to see the city, but instead of following the usual way of travel, kicked his way between two buildings and lost his hat and accused several whom he happened to meet of trying to keep him off the streets. Officers Grant and Blackmar were soon on the scene and tried to reason with him. However, Mcbride could not see the point and struck at the off cers when he was gathered in and locked up. Before the steamer sail ed for the north, as Mcbride was on his way to Seward, Chief Grant decided to take him before the Municipal Magistrate and give the man chance to proceed. In talk ing him out of the jail, he be- came very abusive and struck the Chief in the face. He was immed- lately put back in the cell and kept there until this morning when he was taken before the Judge who fined him $50 as an inducement to become wiser.

WINDING WATCHES
BY ELECTRICITY

While the winding of one's watch would seem to call for but small amount of energy, it assumes a most significant aspect when mul- tiplied several hundred times, as in the instance of watch repairing concern in New York city part of whose work it is to wind 700
 watches or more each day. To facil- itate the work the firm makes use of an electric motor which drives small, felt-lined socket through friction drive It is only necessary to start up the motor and hold the stem of a watch against the felt-lined socket to wind the time piece. When the watch is complete
 ly wound the frightened spring over comes the pressure between the mo- tor pulley and the friction disk, with the result that slippage takes place Simple as this electric watch wind ing equipment is, it replaced several men formerly required for the work

WAS SUBDUED
 WITH PISTOLS
FOUGHT FOUR GOVERNMENT OFFICERS BEFORE HE
 WAS ARRESTED.

NEW YORK, April 26.-All that transpired at the arrest of Wolf von Igel, secretary for Franz vor Papen, former military attache tt the German embassy, was not tolc until today when he gave out an account himself.
 When the four agents of the gov ernment entered his office, they commanded him to submit to arrest. A fist fight ensued and it was not until the officers drew their pistols and told him that they would use them unless he went with them peaceably that he finally consented However, he is said to have told the officers to Ego ahead and shoot if they wanted to.
 Ingel is charged with conspiracy to blow up the Welland canal and an indictment was found by the grand jury.
 The department of justice claims that Capt. von Papen planned the conspiracy. Tauscher supplied the explosives and firearms together with Igel and that Fritzen and Co., vani carried the dynamite to the place.

WAR AN ANTIDOTE FOR MAD
 NESS.

Medical inquiry indicates that there has been considerable re- duction of insanity since the war began.
 Dr. William Graham of the Bel fast Lunatic Asylum says: Tt is not the great tragedies of life that sap the forces of the brain and wreck the psychic organism. On the contrary, it is the small worries, the deadly monotony of narrow and circumscribed existence, the dull drab of life without joy and bar ren of an achievement, the self-cen- tered, anaemic consciousness-it is these experiences that weaken and diminish personality and so leave it prey to inherited predispositions or to the slings and arrows of out rageous foTtune."
 Dr. Graham quotes with approval Lord Bryce's recent statement that the effect of the fighting on thous- ands of men has been to sober them, to stir their deepest thoughts, and to inspire them with an urgent desire for some idealistic basis of life, and he "believes that one of the eventful results of the war will be a great decrease in the amount of mental instability which has been growing in recent years"

WHY MEN WEAR BOWS
 ON LEFT SIDE OF HAT

Why do men wear bows on the left side of their hats? A natter gives the following explanation:
 "In the old days, when men were much in the open air and hats were an expensive article of attire, they used to tie cord round the crown and let the ends fall on the left side so that it could be grasped if a gust threatened to carry off their headgear. The reason the cords fell on the left side was that theo left hand was more often free than the right hand. Later on the ends came to be tied in a bow, and later still they became, useless; but the bow has remained, and it will probably remain till the event of the next -deluge."
