CHARGE OF TREASON
Munition Makers Arrested for Making
Shells Unfit for Use.

Hamilton, Ont, Nov. 6.-Eric Alex
ander Nylin and Erich H. Nylin, faith
er and son, German Swedes, who until
yesterday were employed on NUM-
tions by the Bowes-Jamison company,
Ltd, are being held on the charge of
conspiring against the king by render
ing unfit for use high explosive shells
on which they were engaged
When the two prisoners receive
their hearing next Thursday they win.
the authorities assert, face a charge
of high treason
The elder Nylin formerly worked for
the Bliss company, Brooklyn, and also
for the Packard Motor Car company
of Detroit. When he came here Line
months ago he carried excellent ere-
dentials from these two firms. He
was engaged as superintendent of
foreman. Both men, after being ar
rested, admitted they Were Swedes of
German descent
According to testimony of two shell
experts of the imperial munitions
board, the Nylins drilled minute holes
in the castings of shells and then plug
ged these up so as to pass inspection
When such shells would reach the
firing line they would leave the guns
all right, but would fall short of their
intended range. Thus, if used in
barrage fire, they would fall amid ehe
entente allies soldiers and not among
the enemy, the small hole allowing
just enough gas to escape to shorten
the range

FOR BOB STONE
E. C. Fox Says Support Is Needed for
Worthy Topekan.

To Editor State Journal:
When a man cries thief. thief we
are a little inclined to look sharp, and
see what he is up to, and this applies
to politics as we'll as business. And so
it is that when one candidate for po-
sition as public officer hints or i'm
plies that there is some misrepresen-
tatiOn or fraud or dishonesty in the
wonder what personal advantage such
a candidate is looking for.
Our present representative from the
Thirty-five district, Mr.. Robert Stone,
is known by friend and foe alike, be
they Democrat or Republican, as a
square, clean, honorable gentleman,
who has conscientious1y and intelli-
gently represented the interest of the
common people of Shawnee county as
faithfully as the most idealistic mind
could desire.
His personal life his Christian char
acter or his ability or integrity can not
be assailed, so naturally his opponent
appears to grasp at a straw like a
drowning man, and presents to the
voters by cards, and anonymous circu-
lars, a senseless attack on his business
ability (not because of lack of ability
and accuses him of being attorney for
the Insurance trust and the gas
company.
Yes. the firm of Stone & McDer-
mott, because of their ability and
honesty are at tunes 1lFeQ 1nSur-
ance companies to defend them and
the funds of the public, against dis
honest claimants, and at times repre-
sent claimants against insurance COM
panies; but is that any crime? MOI
and the implied Slur on the word
trust does not fool the intelligent
voter into the belief that Mr.. Stone is
a wrongdoer. because in his chosen
profession he intelligently represents
intelligent corporations And as to
the gas company, no intelligent reader
could possibly connect him with the
alleged frauds perpetrated long be-
fore his connection with them.
Not being a politician, am una Bile
to make forecasts, out 1t would seem
that on the eve of this election, the
honest thinking people of Topeka
should easily decide to return to the
Legislature, the man who has the abil-
ity to, and will honestly administer
his public duties-Mr Robert Stone.

TOO COMPLACENT
Topekans Need Earring Up,
Says Madame Davenport.
Famous Russian Woman to
Speak Again Wednesday.

Topekans are too comp1acently self
satisfied and need to be Jared into
realization of their condition, accord
ing to Madame Charlotte de Goliere
Davenport, famous Russian lecturer
and authority on physical well being,
who spoke Sunday in the Unitarian
church. Madame Davenport sue
ceeded in jarring some of them with
her characteristic short arm jabs
straight from the shoulder.
Too much attention is given to the
stomach and not enough to the brain,
Madame Davenport told the audience,
and she also took a crack at the usual
methods of rearing children. Madame
Davenport is the mother of eleven
children, and should be an authority
on the subject She speaks in broken
English, but in spite of her SO years
succeeds in easily making herself un-
derstood.
Madame Davenport started out to be
a physician, according to her story,
and spent seven years in preparatory
school and in Vienna university, study
ing medicine. Within few months
after she started practicing her pro-
fession she discovered that she was a
failure as a doctor thru her belief that
sickness is ineXcusahle. when a bald
headed man came to me for treat
L
him medicine" she said, land when
women came to me berated them for
being ill instead of giving them pills,
SO I soon lost my practice"
To Speak Again Wednesday.
Madame Davenport then became a
hygienist, and if she is a follower of
her own teachings Madame Daven-
port is the best argument in favor. of
such life. In spite of her age she
spoke for more than an hour and was
as fresh at the end as at the begin
ming. She loves to go swimming, she
stated, and she rides horseback and
dances as much and as well as when
she was 25 years old.
Madame Davenport is an accom-
plished pianist, and sang a Russian
hymn for the congregation. She came
nounced and her audience did not
come up to expectations, altho the lit
tie church was well filled.
She will deliver another lecture
Wednesday evening at o'clock in the
Unitarian church, 914 Topeka avenue.
All her lectures are free to the public.
Madame Davenport promises a better
lecture Wednesday than her talk Sun
day morning as she is at her best in
the evening.
Madame Davenport came to Amer
lea in 1915 to recuperate after a period
of nursing in a war hospital. Her
magnificent home in Vienna has been
turned into a hospital for wounded
Austrian soldiers While in Topeka
she is stopping at the home of Doctor
Swallow, Tenth avenue and Harrison
! street.

Chairman of the Democratic Ma

I still stick to my prediction that
President Wilson will receive at
least 364 of the 531 votes in the
electoral college. He may get more,
but not less. Advices received to-
day confirm my prophecy that New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana and Wisconsin are perfect
ly safe for Wilson. Republican
claims of New York are absurd.
I shall be surprised if the presi-
dent does not sweep the country by
the biggest plurality ever cast for
