TO DO IT
Driven Into Politics by Wilson,
Says Roosevelt.
Colonel Gets Big Reception To-
day in Toledo.

Toledo, Ohio. Nov. 2.-Why Presi-
dent Wilson should not be reelected
his pet theme-was the subject of
Colonel Roosevelts speech here at
noon today, when he invaded the
Buckeye state for Hughes rallies here
and at Cleveland. He speaks at Cleve-
land tonight
president Wilson told us yesterday
in speeches at Buffalo," said Roosevelt.
that questions involving human lives
should not be dragged into politics
Very true. Fine words. Then Why
has he done it?
LET me give you homely example.
Suppose municipal administration
throws a city wide open to vice and
to murderers, thugs and burglars The
city has no remedy for such a Situa-
ton, except thru politics. Such city
administration forces their citizens
who want decent government to re-
sort to politics And this is what Mr..
Wilson's administration has forced us
to do
AS a sub-topic, the colonel empha-
sized true Americanism." He quoted
from Their True Faith and Allie
glance" written by a German-Ameri-
can, Gustayus Ohlinger of Toledo.
with an introduction by Owen Wister.
The book is a vigorous denunciation
of the foreigner who comes here to
reap the benefits of Americas free
government, but fails to give his full
allegiance to the Stars and Stripes.
The colonel got big reception here.
He was paraded in state to the hall
where he spoke.

I'VE will ask that the 28-cent rate
set by the utilities commission be the
rate in force" said Mr.. Brown today
That is, until after the federal court
makes a decision. Meantime. the So
cent rate will be held in abeyance"
A meeting of the executive commit

o'clock this evening. AT that time the
council will instruct an attorney to
prepare the necessary papers asking
for an injunction against the company
The application for an injunction will
be filed with the Shawnee county dis

foreseen happens.

Don't pay your bills until we ar
rive at some conclusion" President
Brown of the Topeka Industrial coun-

ON TO MEXICO!
Battery A May Be Ordered
Over Border Soon.
Topeka Boy Says Wilson Wants
a War Now.

Battery A of Topeka may come
home. Tt may go over the order into
Mexico as a final climax of he Wilson
campaign. That is the news that came
to Topeka today from m ,n-ber of the
battery. At Eagle Pass, Texas, where
the troops are stationed, tkere is un-
certainty and unrest and watchful
waiting as to the Wilson policies in
the moving of troops.
A Kansas guardsman wrote to his
mother in Topeka concerning the sit
uation on the border In the letter is
a strong indication that the troops will
soon go over the border Maybe it
will be in few days. No one knows.
But there is a feeling among the Sol-
diers that an important move is to be
made this week. There is also a feel
ing that the move will be made in a
manner and at a time that will prove
of the greatest benefit to the Wilson
candidacy in the closing hours of the
presidential campaign
Recently members of the battery
have been busy building horse sheds
at Eagle Pass. With the barns nearly
completed, an order suddenly came TO
cease work. No one understands the
meaning of the order. Maybe it means
the troops will soon be sent home. But
with majority of the guardsmen
there is a feeling that the order means
,, invasion of Mexico. That is the news
which a Topeka son today sent his
mother. With the uncertainty of the
situation, there is also the feeling that
the move will not be made in a man
ner tending to lose votes for Wilson
in the presidential fight
The First regiment has been mus
tered out The Second regiment is
now at Fort Riley and will be mus
tered out in a few days. it is believed.
But Battery A of Topeka is still sta

Bank Robbers OFF With $4,000;
Believe Some Injured.

Elgin, H., Nov. -Four men last
night entered Braidwood, Will county,
twenty miles south of Joliet, in an au-
tomobile. cut the telegraph wires and
blew the safe of the private bank of
w. H. Odell & Co, securing $4,000 in
currency. Three charges were neces-
sary to blow the safe, and the last,
an overcharge, wrecked the inside of
the bank. Mrs. Emma Hines, living
across the street, awakened by the ex-
plosions, saw the men enter the ma
chine.
She awakened others and after
short time the night policeman was
found. asleep in his bed at home, ac-
cording to reports.
Sheriff Scholl says that the escape
will be retarded by Il five mile belt
of sand roads around the town and
believes they can be identified by in
juries probably caused by the heavy
third explosion.

BREACH is OPENED
Marina Sinking in New Light
Because 1t Carried Gun.
Right to Garry Arms Never Set
tied With Germany.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Reopening of
the entire armed merchantmen con-
troversy between this government and
Germany is certain if it is proved the
British steamer Marina was armed at
the time she was sunk by a German
Lansing indicated today. Whether mer-
chantmen have a right to arm for de-
fense, is still an open question between
this government and Germany, Lam
sing admitted. This question will be
the principal one if negotiations de-
velop with Germany over the death of
six Americans on board the Marina, it
was stated.
While this government has main
tanned the right of merchantmen to
arm for defense. Germany has never
admitted it. The question first arose
when the Lusitania was sunk. This
government has insisted that mer-
chantmen may arm with any guns not
over six inches in caliber- When dis
cuSSion of the point arose during the
Lusitania negotiations the state de-
partment showed the Lusitania was
unarmed. Without a recession by this
government from its position or an ad-
mission by Germany that merchant
men might arm, the question was per-
mitted to lapse
Germany Issued Statement.
Secretary Lansing said the right of
merchantmen to arm is still a mooted
question, that there has been no de-
cision on it. Germany is expected to
maintain that armed merchantmen
were not included in her pledges to the
United States.
Secretary Lansing, while he refused
to give out any further details of the
official report of the sinkings from
the American Embassy in London, said
his information was substantially the
same as that of the newspaper. Ger
many and Austria on Februarsr10 in
substantially the same terms notified
the United States to the following ef-
feet:
Enemy merchantmen armed with
guns no longer have the right to be
considered as peaceable merchant yes
sells of commerce. Therefore the Ger
man naval forces will receive orders
to treat such vessels as belligerents
However, in accepting the Ameri-
can note on the Sussex demanding the
/ abandonment of its submarine war
fare, against passenger and freight
| carrying vessels Germany said such
vessels should not be sunk withou,
warning and without providing for the
safety of passengers and crew, unless
the ships attempt to escape or offer
resistance.
No condition was made as to armed
! ships

Stripping OF Clothes.

Chihuahua City, Nov. Via Ell
Paso Junction, Nov. 2.-After shoot
ing the twenty-nine Carranza mill
tary guards of the southbound passen-
ger train, which left Juarez Monday,
Villa bandits looted the train, robbed
the passengers and even took the
clothing from the women passengers.
Dr.. Haffner, a German, was dubbed
over the head with gun by one of
the bandits. DR.. Haffner was not Sc
riously injured. The bandits, who were
in command of Murga brothers and
Sylvestre Quevedo, then abandoned
the train, carrying the loot away in
mule drawn wagons.
There were 200 in the command
which held up the passenger train as
it was approaching Laguna station
After commanding the engineer to
stop, one of the bandits went thru
the train, ordering passengers to alight
so they could be searched. The con-
ductor- whose name is not known, was
shot in the hip.
The twenty-nine Carranza. soldiers
from the Juarez garrison, who were
travelling in the box car just back of
the tender, were ordered to alight and
were shot down in view of the pas
sengers This escort was in command
of Captain Guzman, who also was
shot
Only $50 Miles Below Border.
The town of Laguna is about $50
miles straight south of the American
border An official bulletin giving
meager details of the buchery reached
the border when the wires were re-
opened today.
Bandit Chiefs Murga and Quesedo,
allied with Villa and noted for their
cruelty were in command of the VIII
lista detachments.
AS soon as information of the affair
reached Chihuahua City a military
train with 400 de facto soldiers aboard
was hurried north to Sauz in an at
tempt to strike the raiders.
The consulate's announcement tacit-
ly admitted that the railway line is
still severed at several points and Chi
huahua City still isolated. No trains
are leaving Juarez today. The Off
cial bulletin continues:
''The main column of General May
cote reached Ortiz. about eighty miles
south of Chihuahua City yesterday, on
the way to Santa Rosalia. San Buene
