vessels continued to search the Caro-

ing since 1 o'clock Sunday morning
but according to information available
here their efforts had been futile. The
submersible had not responded to

marine men to express fears that the
boat had suffered at least an accident
to her wireless apparatus. A heavy fog
hung over the coast between here and

where the ks was last sighted and

WOULD OPEN HERE
Sells S-FlOtO Show Wants to
Start From Topeka.
Applies to Commission for Re-
mission of License Fee.

The SellS-F1Oto circus wants to start
its season N Topeka this spring and
wants to bring the performers to-
gether here but the city commission
could see no excuse in that for per-
mitting the circus people to show
without the payment of the usual five
dollars per car as a city license. A
representative of the circus company
visited each member of the commits
sion this morning and the matter was
brought up before the commission at
its meeting But there was nothing
doing. the commission refused to vio-
late one of its own ordinances.
The representative stated that the
show people would be in Topeka for
five or six days-five hundred of them
getting ready for the season He
pointed out that it would mean busi-
ants and for dealers in stock feed
The commission saw that point but
Commissioner W. G. Tardy also
pointed out that while the circus
would benefit few it would also take
a lot of cash out of town.
The present plan is to give the first
show of the season in Topeka April
Is. Previous to that there will be
nearly week during which perform
ers will be brought together and put
through their various stunts. The
city ordinance provides for the pay
ment of a license OF five dollars per
ca- and at this rate the license for
the Sells-Floto show viii be $3.50.
IF the Sells-Floto people want to
open in Topeka they Will find a way
to do So" said Mayor House, they
will not let $3.50 stand in their way"

WOMEN AFTER HIM
Topeka Suffragettes Still Demanding
Interview With Wilson.

Topeka club women heading state
organizations seem detern ined to
gain an interview with President Will
son, on the suffrage question, and
thus inject partisan politics into
non-political visit. They accomplished
their avowed purpose of merely i'm
pressing upon the president that wom-
ans suffrage is still on the map when
they dispatched a telegram a few
days ago to Washington asking for
interviews.
In reply Secretary Tumulty wired
polite telegram to Mrs. Lila Day
Monroe saying the Driefness of the
presidents visit would make such an
interview impossible
Then, Sunday Mrs. Monroe received
a telegram from the vice president of
tho Congressional Union at Washing
ton, d. C, urging them to insist upon
a series of interviews with the presi-
dent The telegram acted like
tonic on the women and Mrs Monroe
and Miss Mabel Vernon met to make
arrangements for a second attempt to
gain a hearing with the president The
telegram received from Miss Lucy
Burns, vice chairman of the Union,
follows:
president stated in Washington
that he could not make appointments
with deputations 1t was possible,
however. that ne might be approached
by depuIad ms which he would be able
to receive. Advise that you arrange
deputation and wait upon him in con .
fident hope that he will grant in
