SAVE The QUAIL! IT'S NO USE NOW
Sleet and Ice Threaten Starva-
ton of Rare Birds.
Farmers to Rescue With Grain
and Table Crumbs.


Farmers throughout Kansas and
Oklahoma have been ma king every eff
fort to prevent the quail from starving
as the result of the almost impene-
trable blanket of ice and sleet which
recently covered the section. Crumbs
from the table and grain have been
scattered on the fields, as the result
of pleas from the game wardens of
the two states.
Both John Chenoweth. state game
warden of Oklahoma, and w. C. Teg-
meier. state fish and game warden of
Kansas, sent MESA ges to the leaders
throughout the section pointing out
that the condition of wild fowl has
not been worse in years. Reports re-
ceived here indicate that numbers of
coveys have been kept alive but that
it is believed that others have suffered
in out-of-thc-way places.
In Kansas the five years closed
season for the hunting of quail ends in
1918 and that the state may be popu-
lated with birds by that time, Mr.
Tegmeie- has announced that he in
tends to make an attempt to breed
them on the grounds of the state fish
hatcheries at Pratt. ARRANGEMENTS
have been made whereby the state fish
cal will be taken to Clovis, y. NJ,
probably late this month ard Kansas
fish exchanged for New Mexican quail.

British Cruiser Seized Appam
CaptOr OF Bermudas.
Running Fight for Three Hours
$50 Germans Taken.

today assert that the German warship
Room, alleged to be the captor of the
Appam has been captured by the Brit
ish armored cruiser Drake after a
three-hour fight 200 miles east north
east of Bermuda
The capture of the Room is said to
have been followed by the seizure of
two merchantmen flying the German
flag, one of which was armed.
The story is contained in a r1essa sc
which reads:
Drake here today towing Room.
Took her 200 knots east northeast

Lost Danforth eighteen men. Her
losses about one-third. Struck as we

MYSTERY
Man With White Mask Seen
Peering Into Windows.
Another Man and Closed Auto
Waits at Curb.

A man in white mask peering into
windows, a closed auto waiting, a
passing woman terrified-Potwin has
a mystery that tonight will cause more
than usual attention to be given to
locking windows and doors. The un-
usual incident. it was reported to the
police, took place near the Potwin
school house about s o'clock Tuesday
night.
Della Hogbin. a maid in the home OF
Mrs. George F. Williamson. 1901 Gar
field avenue, was on her way from
the Williamson home to the home OF
her aunt on Exeter street shortly
before s O'Clock. AS she passed the
school house she says she noticed the
man on Park avenue. He wore "A
white mask. she claims. and a long
dark coat and was peeping into win
dows on Park avenue. He was tall in
figure.
But that was not all. she said this
morning. At the curb stood a black
auto with closed curtains. The engine
was running softly. Another man. she
told reporter this morning. was
pacing up and down beside the car
with eyes on the man in the white
mask. She was too frightened at the
time, she said. to give a good descrip-
ton of the man beside the auto, which
evidently was primed for a quick get
away.
Miss Hogbin didn't stay 10 see what
happened. This morning when she
returned to work she told Mrs. Will
hanson what she had seen Mrs
Williamson reported the matter to the
police.
Just what the men were doing no
one seems to be able to explain.
Spencer Abbott, plain clothes man, to-
day volunteered the opinion that a
robbery or holdup was being planned.
No robberies or holdups in the Pot
win neighborhood or in other parts OF
Topeka have been reported that could
have been planned by the two men.

BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

Berlin, Feb. 9.-Leading German
bankers and financiers, with large in
terests in America likely to be affected
by a break between the two countries,
are standing firmly behind the foreign
office in its refusal to disavow the
sinking of the LusitansI.
This much was learned today upon
adjournment of the conference of big
financial men and corporations here
today. Practically no voice was
raised against the attitude of the Ger
man government, it was stated. Lead
ing bankers expressed the hope that
there would be no severance of diplo-
matte relations between the United
States and Germany but agreed that
the government could no. admit the
sinking of tho Lusitania an Illegal act.

Oldest member in point of service of
the Democratic national committee,
today fell in line with Tom Taggart
and Norman E. Mack, who have given
out interviews harpooning Bryan.
The Democratic campaign is a sin
gle horse affair and, consequently Mr..
Bryan will not be in the running
continued Mr.. Howell. He is a pub
lie nuisance. He will attempt to stir
up all the trouble he can between now
and the June convention in st. Louis
However, Mr.. Bryan's influence will
not prevent the denomination of Mr..

Mr.. Howell, together with other
members of a subcommittee of the
Democratic national committee, is in
st. Louis to perfect arrangements for
the Democratic national convention in
June.

plan. The Democrats of the south
realize they have an able and worthy
leader in President Wilson and they
are going to stand by him"
Most of the 10 committeeman are
also of the opinion Bryan has lost his
grip on the Democratic party and that
he will be no important factor in the
convention here. If he should come as
a delegate. Many members of the
committee express the belief that Bry-
