A BOOM FOR ROOT
Launched in New York by "a
Prominent Republicans.
Endorsed by Bacon, Formerly
in Roosevelt Cabinet.
is IT REALLY MOVE FOR 7. r.?
Adherents Deny Ultimate De-
sign for the Colonel.
Signers Are Delegates
to Chicago Convention.

New York, April S-The move
ment launched last night for
the nomination of Elihu Root for
the presidency by a statement signed
by IA prominent Republicans, was
supplemented today by the published
statement of Robert Bacon, former
member of Colonel Roosevelt's cabi-
net and one of his closest friends.
Mr.. Bacon says:
My first choice is Elihu Root, my
second choice Theodore Roosevelt
Mr.. Bacon last week was host at the
luncheon which brought Col. Roose-
Welt and Mr.. Root together for the
first time since the latter opposed
Roosevelt at the Republican conven-
ton in 1912.
Some Are Barnes Men.
William Barnes, Republican nation
al committeeman, many of whose adj
herents signed the Root statement,
declared there was nothing behind it
except desire to promote the nom
nation of Mr.. Root. He denied en-
phatically a report that the statement
was a maneuver to help the candidacy
of Colonel Roosevelt.
1t was learned today that the Root
movement cryStallized at a conference
held here last Thursday at the Union
League club. Mr. Root, it is said knew
that the statement was to be issued
and offered no objection. Nineteen of
! those who signed the Root statement
are delegates from New York state to
the national convention. Among them
are two of the delegates-at-l large,
United States Senators Jas. w. Wads-
worth, jr., and State Senator e. R.
Brown.
Must Accept If Nominated.
After eulogizing the public services
of Mr.. Root the statement concludes:
While he has declined to become a
candidate for even the highest public
office yet if nominated for the pres
idency by the coming national con-
vention at Chicago his sense of public
duty must compel his acceptance"

COLLEGE PLAY TONIGHT
Washburn Dramatic Club in 'sYou
Never Can Telr' at Grand.

Something new is the way the
Washburn Dramatic club describes the
free souvenir programs for Shaw's
played today, matinee and evening, at
the Grand.
A twelve page pamphlet giving the
preface and all the critical data help
full to the understanding of George
Bernard Shaw's most popular comedy,
and a picture and description of the
Washburn Dramatic club, will be gov
en- to each guest at the two perform
ances.
On the cover of each program is
an original design by Frank Peers
representing Tragedy and Comedy.
Dramatic Club Ranks High.
The Washburn Dramatic club has
become one of the most popular insti-
tutions in the Topeka college in the
last few years. Adhering to a program
of producing only the worthwhile
plays the club has taken high rank
among college dramatic clubs. At
least four plays are put on annually
by the Cuba stiff program for anna
teur performers. Lately they have be-
come members of the Wash5urn
means even better productions in the
future.
The feature of the play is the seem
cry painted by Frank Peers and
Hampton Shirer. Four remarkably eff
fective and beautiful sets were painted
by the boys. In one they were assisted
by Merrill Gage. Local critics prophe-
sy a big future as scenic artists for
the two boys if they should decide to
take I'D that line

Pittsburg Editor Says He VIII Not OPP

New York, April S.-The early &C
cesSion of Senator Boies Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, to the Roosevelt cause
is predicted by Alexander Moore,
Pittsburg editor. Moore, formerly
Progressive, is now back in the Re-
publican ranks but still for Roosevelt
He will be a delegate to the Republi-
can national convention from Pennsyl-
vania. He visited Colonel Roosevelt
in New York Friday.
Senator Penrose" said Mr.. Moore.
"is a wiser man than Mr. Barnes, of
New York. He has his ear to the
ground and knows how things are 60
ing. He will not oppose the nominal
ton of Colonel Roosevelt by the Chi
cago Republican convention"
Mr.. Moore also declared former
Secretary of State Knox would ulti-
mately support Roosevelt.
Knox hasn't told me-" said Mr.
Moore, but 1 am sure he will be for
the colonel. Roosevelt will have at
least 40 of Pennsylvania delegates on
the first ballot"

Washington, April S.-Germany's
reply to the inquiry of Ambassador
Gerard as to whether German sub

steamer Sussex and other merchant
ships carrying Americans, was mo-
mentarily expected today. Unofficial
advices from Berlin stated that Am

President Wilson was aboard the
Mayflower today on another weekend
cruise down the Potomac. Any in
formation received on the submarine
will be forwarded to him promptly by
radio. He planned to remain away
until tomorrow night or Monday
morning unless definite word is re-

UNIQUE WAR FUND.
Mrs. Vanderbilt Champions
"Relief" for European Royalty.
Social Leaders to Chip in $1O,-
900 Each for 100000 Sum.

New York. April S.-With a plan
of war relief that is unique, Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt has been going
among her friends in this city and
Philadelphia recently inviting them
to contribute toward what might be
called a royal relief fund.-
Mrs. Vanderbilt is endeaVoring to
collect $4,000 which she intends to
present-in gold, in equal shares-to
Queen Mary of England, the czarina
of Russia and President Poincare of
France, those rulers to be at liberty to
devote the money to whatever pur-
poses they choose.
Contributions Of $4,000 are being
asked for. That limits to thirty the
persons who may have the privilege
of donating to royalty. Only those of
unquestioned social position and ample
means have been asked to subscribe.
Just how many have done so is not
certain, but it is understood that the
fund has reached $4,000. which
means that Mrs. Vanderbilt's appeal
has fallen successfully upon the ears
of a dozen besides herself and her
husband, who started the fund with
$40, 600 each,
Book of Gold, idea.
But most striking of all the ele-
ments of Mrs. Vanderbilt's project is a
book of gold idea" 1t is her pur-
pose to have three volumes made of
the precious metal in which shall be
/ inscribed the names of the cOntr1Du-
/ tors to the fund. Each of the rulers
1 will get one of the gold books with the
| 100000. Each book, of course, will
contain only 10 names.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has been quite ac-
/ tive her friends say, in seeking to car
ry out her novel plan. One of the
early subscribers of $4,000, it is said,
was Henry c. Frick of Fifth avenue.
| Another it is said, was Mrs. Hamilton
Rice Fritz Carlton, who formerly was
Mrs. George Widener of Philadelphia.
Mrs. E. Henry Hartman is also said
by Mrs. Vanderbilt's friends to be
among those whose names will be en-
tered into the "Livre dor"
Decline to Discuss Plan.
So far as could be learned, all the
$4,000 contributions thus far have
come from New Workers.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt deep
" regret that secrecy has not been
maintained by those who knew about
the fund. At his office in Pine street,
Mr.. Vanderbilt declined to enter into
details about his wife's idea, merely
saying:
Mrs. Vanderbilt is now and has
been active in war relief work, but
about this particular project there is
nothing that can be said at this time
At her home in Fifth avenue Mrs
| Vanderbilt tonight declined also to
say anything about her plan, remark
4 ing only that she would be grateful if
nothing were published concerning it.

MARKS ON GIRLS BACK

Continued from Page oneJ
on the girls Industrial school at Be
lott. The administration of Miss
Frankie Wilson, superintendent, was
far from perfect, the doctor felt. The
mere fact that both Miss Wilson and
DIR. Harding are Democrats, didn't
make the slightest difference. The
girls school isn't all that Dr. Harding
feels it should be and she checks the
responsibility right back to the state
administration and the state board of
corrections
Il begged Governor Capper to send
a responsible person to the girls in
dustrial school to investigate condi-
lions. but he wouldn't do it, said DR..
Harding. Il went to him with the re-
port that a girl inmate had been
beaten and that the evidence Of her
beating was still shown by marks and
bruises on her back. But the gov
ernor wouldn't do a thing. I begged
him to use his contingent fund and to
look into the matter
More '4Old Stuff"
"Of course, in view of the fact that
the bruises and stripes on the girls
back have healed, it is probable that
my complaint VIII be called old stuff.
: Still, some of this old stuff may be
: interesting 10 Karsas people who don't
: realize conditions, but are interested in
their institutions"
Use of the straight jacket on girls
in the school, was also charged by
DIR. Harding. In fact, she stated that
Mrs. j. NJ. Miller, a member of the
hoard of corrections, admitted that
straight jackets were kept at the
school
These jackets are used, too" said
DIR. Harding. Il know of three in
stances in which the jackets have beer
used on girl inmates-even in this day
and age OF reform. I talked to Mrs
Miller and she admitted the Jackets
were in the school. She urged that
they must be kept IN order to enforce
discipline and to prevent a mutiny
among the girls
