THEY ALL KNEW 1T
Three Held by Police Realized Recov-
cry of Stolen Diamond.

When L. Haze lbradt of Pittsburg,
Pa, owner of the Glen-Wood hotel
here, was touched" for his pocket
book containing 81 and a $3.50 dia-
mond Tuesday night, he had no idea
who took it. He complained at the
police station. He stated he was at
the Monarch pool hall just before he
missed his pocketbook.
The same evening the police picked
up three men-James Foy, Mark Will
lianleFand Ray Hoover.
Tie men were arrested at different
city prison. Each man was impressed
with the fact that Hazelbradt's dia-
mond must be returned. Each man
denied knowing anything about it.
Foy was upstairs and the police sa W
three men on the sidewalk outside
talking with him, but they made no
effort to- stop the conversation. That
same evening a man met Hazelbradt
on the street and handed him his
pocketbook containing the diamond
and two dollars. Hazelbradt hurried
to the police station and reported.
The police let Mark Williams out.
He was not surprised.
Have the other fellows gone up
the hill yet " he asked.
James Foy was brought downstairs
Are the other boys out ?" he asked.
Apparently all three men, in spite
of the fact that they had been kept
separated, knew of Hazelbradt's re-
covery and expected their release at
about the hour they were released.

CHRISTIANITY CALLS YOU

The Armenian people constituted

was the cradle of Christianity. It's
people have known the refinement
of torture for centuries and they
are now undergoing such atroci-
ties at the hands of the Turks as
to call for a proclamation from
President Wilson setting aside to-
morrow, Sunday, October %, as
Armenian Sunday. In Topeka as
in other cities all over the United
States ministers will take up the
Armenian cry for help. Collec-
tions and contributions taken sun
day will be used to relieve this
stricken people.
The Armenian Empire" was
Christian as early as 275 A. D. and
during the sixteen centuries since
Armenians have suffered persecu
tions for religious reasons.
1t is to these-the forbears of
all Christian nations-that Sun
