As the days PASS, Charlie Somcrs
looks more and more likely to be th,,
owner of the Cleveland Indians OF
1915. The bankers committee, hand
ling his financial affairs, admit that
outside interests ere dickering for tho
club, but they also admit that the
prospects of their obtaining 1t are not
bright. 1t may be that the season will
open with Somers still an American
League magnate.
If Somers is still owner. at least
in name, of the Indians, nothing will
prevent Clark Griffith's sending Chick
Gandil to Cleveland. Gandil wants to
so there, and Somers wants him. Ban
Johnson has agreed to arrange the
deal and that's all there is to it.
Ban johnson has not announced any
date when he will return to Cleveland.
He is waiting for the bankers commit
tee to arrange for possible purchaser
of Charlie Somers' interests. II the

among the magnates.

Advocates Giant School for VO-
catiOnaI Training.
PREPARE MEN FOR CIVIL LIFE
Two Years Enlistment. Five
Years as Reserves.
Senate Passes Provision and 1t
Is Up to House Today.

Washington, April S.-With the in
fIuence of Secretary Baker behind it
a fight was begun in the house today
to make the army a giant school to
teach trades and occupations that will
equip army men for civil life
If the fight is successful, the house
will recede from its opposition to the
vocational training system. The pro-
visions of the plan would mean that
every enlisted man would receive sew
enty-five hours of instructions each
month from officers or especially en-
ployed civilians in any occupation
which he chooses as best fittel to af-
ford him a living after he leaves the
army
Form Reserve Force.
The men are to be encouraged to
leave the army at the end of two years
enlistment. For five years after their
two years enlistment they are to
serve in the reserve subject TO call in
time of war.
The measure, introduced by Senator
Smith, passed the senate.
Smith assured house members to-
day that Secretary Baker is genuinely
interested in the plan and will give it
every advantage if it succeeds in pass
ing the house. Army officers too, had
become converted to it. Smith said.

FARM VALUES UP
Worth of Land Gains 25.76 Per
Cent in Four Years.
War Demand for Grain Made
11.5 Per Cent Increase in 1915.

Washington, April S.-Farm land
values are increasing almost by leaps
and bounds. Figures made public
today by the department of agriculture
show that values for the United States
taken as a whole increased 25.76 in
the last four years and Ills last year.
The figures are based upon reports
from the departments field agents.
The value of farm lands without i'm
provements is estimated at S45.5O per
acre, compared with S40.S5 a year
ago, $4,000 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and s36.23 four years ago.
Increases have been general with
one or two notable exceptions in the
northwest.
The exceptional increases of last
year are attributed in part the re-
action in the south, owing to last
years temporary depression and to the
stimulus of war prices, particularly of
grains. The percentage increases in
the past year by sections are:
North Atlantic states, 10; eastern
part of north central states, 9; western
part of the north central states, II;
South Atlantic states, 10; south cen
trail states. IL; and the far western
states IL.

END OF COLD WEATHER
Fair and Warmer Is the Forecast for
Sunday.

Topeka got only the extreme edge of
the cold wave last night and the
mercury did not go below the freezing
mark. Cold weather was general over
the western part of the state, how
ever. the lowest reading reported being
II degrees at Goodland. Rain and
snow fell in nearly all parts of the
state and was still falling in the east
ern district this morning. The sky
was clear in western Kansas this
morning and is expected to clear here
by tonight.
Another special warning was sent
out to shippers this morning by the
weather bureau. The forecast reads
to protect 36-hour shipments north
and west against temperatures of 16
to 20 degrees; east and south, 90 to rs
degrees. The reading of 20 degrees
will probably touch Topeka. coming
"a hours late. according to S. D. Flora,
local observer.
The lowest temperature at Topeka
this morning was 80 degrees at
o'clock. Rain and snow measuring
hree-hundredths of an inch fell early

When Lack of Diligence on
Their Part Is Proven.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
Puts a Stop to Release of Beer
Wagon Drivers
By the Use of Habeas Corpus
WritS at X. G..

DRYERS of automobiles must stop,
look and listen" when approaching a
railway crossing where the driver is
unable to gain a view of the track
Failure to observe this rule, is at the
risk of the motor car owner and suit
for damages cannot be maintained
when the rule is violated.
That was the decision of the su-
preme court today in reversing the
action of the Shawnee county district
court and setting aside a judgment
which w. A. Wehe of Topeka secured
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company The court. in
deciding the case, held that DIR. Wehe
did not use due diligence and care in
avoiding a collision with freight cars
being pushed by switch engine.
DR.. Wehe had taken his car to the
plant of an oil company. where he
secured gasoline for his engine. In
leaving the property of the oil com
pany and seeking to cross the Missouri
Pacific and Santa Fe tracks. the To-
peka man was unable to see the rail-
way tracks as he attempted crossing
at Adams street. His view was OBJ
structed by buildings and the driver of
the car did not leave his machine to
look for an approaching train, al
though he said that he listened for the
approach of cars.
An employee of the oil company
went with Dr. Wehe to look for
train. The oil man saw the switch
engine first and yelled to DR.. Wehe
to lookout" A brakeman saw the
Wehe car and signalled the engineer
but was unable to prevent a collision.
DIR. Wehe brought suit for damages
and secured a judgment in the district
court. The verdict was set aside on
the ground that due diligence was not
shown by the driver of the car.
Kansas Law Applies.
Laws regulating the DaVIl1eDt Of
damages for failure to deliver tele-
gram. apply to the state to which the
message was sent and not the state
from which it was sent That was
the ruling of the supreme court today
in affirming a decision of the Shaw
nee county district court in a suit
! brought by Charles C. Bailey of To-
peka against the Western Union
A telegram announcing the death
of Bailey's father was sent from Yer
ment to Topeka. The messages was
delayed in transmission and delivery.
Bailey brought suit for $1,2o0.92. The
telegraph company claimed that the
question was governed by the laws of
Vermont and Missouri The supreme
court, however, takes a different view
of the situation. 1t holds that the
message was sent to Kansas and de-
livered in this state. Hence the KAN
sas law applies and the case must be
tried under the laws regulating such
action in Kansas.
Dismiss Disbarment Case
Disbarment proceedings against
Otto J. Briley, now of Oklahoma CITY.
formerly lawyer in Chanute, were
dismissed today by the supreme court.
Two of the justices were disqualified
and four of the other five could not
agree The state board of law exam
iners had charged Briley with irregu-
larities in collection accounts and
with bringing suits without authority.
