and took away from Topeka with him

officers doubt that she accompanied
him any great distance from Topeka
Pace told his troubles to Judge
him at Tulsa two months ago, he said
and he believed she was in Topeka.
Robert Miller started out with him to
locate her. On lower Kansas avenue
the men saw approaching three stv-
llshly dressed girls.
There she is" said Pace.
The men stepped inside a doorway
and waited.

as the girls drew near.
ESs1e gave him the once-over with
her chin in the air, then shrugged her
shoulders and walked on Miller in
tervened and took the three girls to
the police station.
Judge Yates ordered ESTES two
girl friends to catch the first train
back to Kansas City from whence
they came and he used persuasion
with Mrs. Pace. She said little but

State Left Cell House Walls
Twelve Years.
Ask Legislature to Complete
RefOrmatOry Building.
RADIATORS RUST TO PIECES
Three Thousand Feet of Pipe
Left to Decay.
Repairs Necessary Thru Inac-
ton to Cost Thousands.

Some idea of business foresight of
the state of Kansas could be secured
by visit to the Hutchinson reforma-
tory. The coming legislature is to be
asked to put a roof over one of the
big buildings of the institution. Some
ten or twelve years ago it was decided
to build new cell house at the re-
formatory. The legislature appropri-
ated part of the money. The walls
were constructed and some of the
floor work completed. Then an econ
omy streak struck the powers that
be" and work was stopped. The build
ing has no roof
1t was declared further that it would
be well to get the steam heating ap-
paratus ready for installation. So sew
eral thousand feet of pipes and three
thousand feet of radiators We're or
dered and paid for. The pipe has been
| used in other buildings of the ilisti-
tuition. but the big pile of radiators
for ten years.
Charles Chandler. state architect.
recently examined the radiators and
reported there was not a foot of us
able radiation in the three thousand
feet The pipes have rusted out, ac-
cording to Chandler.
Thousands for Repairs.
Five or six years ago the state 4p-
propriated a little more money for the
cell block, and the steel truss worl. for
the roof was put up and the work was
stopped again. These steel trusses
have been standing on the top of the
building four or five years now with
out protection and without being used.
The walls have had no protection
| from the weather, inside out, and
it may be necessary to spend a good
many thousands of dollars repairing
| the walls of this building whenever it
| is decided to finish it. A few thousand
/ dollars would have put a roof on the
! building and the radiators placed to
prevent damage to them.

GULL SOCIAL EVENTS
President Vetocs Inaugural Ball ana
Other Washington Festivities.

Washington, Nov 25.-Society-
from the upper crust to the outer
fringe-will have to look elsewhere
than to the White House this season
for it's gayety.
The good old days when the execu-
tive mansion set the pace-and fast
one-apparently are past Hence
there is righteousness from the ranks
of the high proved cave dwelling so
ciety folks down to the climbers.
President Wilson'S society cabinet
is mapping out its program for the
winter. but it leaked out today that
this will be much as in the last four
years. Only such functions as have
been customary-and automatically
necessary-from time immemorial
will be held, according to present
plans The New Years reception will
continue in the discard. The presi-
dent and Mrs Wilson will probably
spend the holidays away from Wash
ington.
No inaugural Ball.
1t is likely also there will be no
inaugural ball
With these two events again vetoed
the first gala event of the season
will occur Friday, January s. This
will be a Pan-American reception, re
placing the diplomatic reception 1t
was discarded last year owing to pos
sibIe embarrassments arising thru
belligerent diplomats meeting each
other over a glass of punch. Small
receptions and dinners will alternate
thruout the winter season at the ex-
ecutive mansion.
The cabinet dinner will follow the
Pan-American reception. Two diplo-
matte dinners are next, the first III
honor of French Ambassa dor Jusse-
rand. dean of the diplomatic corps,
and the second for German Ambassa-
dor Won BernStorff.
Diplomats of warning nations will
be distributed according to home al
lance Neutral diplomats can take
their appetites to both dinners
After these amenities there will fol-
low the usual judicial. congressional
and army-navy reception and din
ner in honor of the speaker of the
house

army officers from Washington are
also planning to attend the game
The president met members of his

"ABSURD"- FUNSTON
Nothing to Reported "a Million Dol
lar Ammunition Order.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 25.-Ma1
Cen Frederick Funston has secuted
the idea that s34,0OO,000 worth of
ammunition had been ordered for the
San Antonio arsenal
ridiculous" the commander or
the southern department said 1t Is
time for target practice at Leon
Springs and while I know nothing
about it General Crozier may have
ordered a quantity of ammunition
shipped here.
But I am certain that the ordering
of any quantity of ammunition TOR
San Antonio can have no bearing IN
the Mexico-American situation
.'Thirtv-four million dollars worth
of ammunition would be absurd for
the reason it would be more than the
local arsenal could house and more
than could be used If the united
States army invaded Mexico.

ORGAN ON SLATE?
Assistant Auditor May Be Con-
troll Board Secretary.
Joe Howe to Retire to His
Newspaper Office.

Frank Organ. now assistant auditor,
is slated for secretary of the board of
control, when the new administration
begins business Organ has been as
sistant auditor for six years and was
defeated for state auditor in the pri-
mary last summer. The board of con-
troll is Democratic at the present time.
There are rumors about that there
is going to be a real house cleaning
when the board is reorganized and
that the three members now holding
their jobs will be allowed to return to
their real homes.
J. w. Howe has been secretary of
the board OF control four years and
being a Democrat is slated to retire
to his newspaper at Abilene without
further quibbling after the first Demo-
cratic member of the board is retired.
So there is bound to be a place for a
good Republican as secretary of the
board. The office does not come under
civil service SO it will go to some ac-
tive political worker and Organ seems
just certain to be standing around
near where the lightning is going to
hit.
There is some talk that the board of
control and the board of corrections
will be consolidated into one board
with the payment of sufficient salaries
to get the highest class of experts to
be found in the country TO manage the
state charitable and penal institutions.
In this event, it is asserted that Harry
Bowman. now a member of the board
of control, would likely be picked as
secretary because of his experience
with the Kansas institutions.
The term of w. E. Brooks expires
in February and that of Stance Myers
in June. These are the Democratic
members. Bowmans term has ex-
pired and he is holding on without
an appointment being presented to the
senate for confirmation.
