MORE MEN CALLED
One Hundred More Ordered For Ex-
animation August 9 and 10

The local exemption board of Wash
ington County issued a call Friday for
100 more men to report for examina-
ton to fill the county's quota of sew
enty-five men for the first draft. No
tees were mailed at Fayetteville Fri
day. 1t is not thought that all these
men will be required to fill the quota
required from this county but on ac-
count of the large number of exemp-
tons the board took this action as a
precautionary measure so that there
would be no unnecessary delay.
The first fifty are ordered to report
August 9, and the second fifty August
10

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Osa Wolfe Meets Unaccountable

Osa Wolfe, son of Granville Wolfe

| awakened by the porter, VIVA made in
curry as to the whereabouts of his
companion. Tweedy thought he was
across the aisle asleep, but search
failed to find him. At the next
station word was sent back of
his disappearance and the body
was found alongside the track.
Although life was not extinct
Wolfe was unconscious and lived
about twelve hours.
The generally accepted theory is
that Wolfe fell from the car window.
It is stated that he frequently walked
in his sleep.
The body was shipped from Pueblo,
arriving here Wednesday morning.

MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS
Topeka Ministerial Union in Favor
OF Alright Liquor Legislation.

The Topeka Ministerial union, ac-
cording to the Rev. Robt. Gordon of
the First Baptist church is heartily in
sympathy with the prohibitory legis-
lation proposed in the Taylor, Montee
and Stone bills.
"A false impression has been Great
ed" says DIR. Gordon, that the union
was in favor of making an exception
to the absolute prohibition proposed
in the bills. for sacramento purposes.
Monday morning our union by vote
placed itself on record as being unan-
imously in favor of the strictest,
strongest and most absolute possible
prohibition legislation.
TO a man, we are opposed to any
sort of exception for sacramento or
any other purpose. The sentiment
made it clear that the ministers of To-
peka consider permission to bring
fermented wines into Kansas for sac
ramental use not only unnecessary but
preposterous, and unthinkable. We
see no sense in any such exception"

STILL HIKING ANTE
johnson and Tener Agree to
Ignore Players Fraternity.
FultZ Comes Back by Daring
Them to Try 1t Once.

New York. Jan. 1S--That a war to
the finish is contemplated to keep
baseball fields open shops and pre-
vent players from joining organized
labor, was indicated here today when
it became known that Ban Johnson,
president OF the American league, and
John K. Tener. president of the Ma
tional league, have entered into an
agreement to have no more to do with
the baseball players fraternity. 1t
was announced that hereafter the
players will be dealt with as individ-
ualS and that Dave Fultz will not be
considered
The application for a charter affili-
ating the fraternity with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor ranked so
much in Ban Johnson's brain that he
just had to do something. He de-
clared he did not intend to be used
as club to beat the minor leagues
into line. and he believes that is the
reason for the attempted affiliation
with Samuel Gompers' organization.
F'ultz is sticking to his optimism.
he guessed that organized baseball
would be doing itself favor by rec
ognizing the strength of the fraternity
right now. He declared every one
knows the national commission is the
real head of baseball, and announced
that he does not intend to recede one
step from his stand
THE commission can adjust our
demands and the major league mag
mates can see to it that it is done The
minor leaguers will be forced into line.
1t might just as we'll be done now
was the way he summed up the stu
alton.

Avery Washburn was born in Con-
necticut in 1918. He taught school
for a number of years at Franklyn-
Vile, n. Y, and was teaching at Rush-
Vile in 1870 at the time of mis- mar
riage He came to Kansas in 1S5o
and settled on a grant of 100 acres
west of Topeka. The land patent bore
the signature of President James
Buchanan.
In 1857 Mr.. Washburn returned to
the east and closed UP his business
affairs preparatory to making his
nome permanently in Kansas In 1893
he brought his family to the homestead
and lived on the place until the time
of his death. The house in which he
died is the original one he built in
the early days.
Mr.. Washburn is survived by Il son,
f. NJ. Washburn, who lives in the same
square as the old home place. He
also leaves two nephews, Harry M.
Washburn of Topeka, and Albert

1t Is Hard to Steal a Bag in the
National League.
McGraW Insists That Is Reason
the A. L. Is Faster Loop.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York, Jan. 18-Pitchers in the
National league who are permitted to
get away" with a half balk motion
when there is a runner on first base
are responsible for the fact that the
National is behind the American
league in base running.
So says John McGraw, the scrappy
leader of the 'Jints.'' and John is
backed up by Christy Mathewson and
others. McGraw would like to see the
National 1eaguers put over strict rules
covering the balk. He says there are
SO many left-handers in the old league
who use a balk motion that the base
runners chances are cut down fully
fifty per cent.
They couldn't get away with that
stuff in the American league" opines
John, land 1 think that a strict balk
rule is sadly needed in our league to
help the base runners out
Stolen Bases Important.
A stolen base often marks the turn
ing point of a game of ball When
fast man gets on, with a good hitter
coming up behind him, there is a run
in the making. But if the runner gets
nipped off first because a lax rule
allows a pitcher to pull a half balk
motion, the embryo run goes a-gl1m-
mering. And it isn't fair to the team
at bat.
In order to put a ball< ru in force
which would bring the required re-
suits, the National leaguers must
make it ironclad. There must be no
loopho1es which may cause an umpire
to hesitate when he is called upon to
decide whether or not a pitcher has
baked. The rule must be plain.
Each fall, when the National and
American league winners line up for
the worlds series, the umpires are
called upon to decide before the first
game starts just how they will inter-
pref the balk rule, for the rule is APP
plied differently IN the two leagues.

MUST REGISTER AGAIN
Women Who Marry Not Entitled to
Vote Under Former Names.

If you are a woman and want to
vote remember that when you are
married, the prerogatives of mar
ried woman include the right to regis
ter under your husbands name. In
fact. the only way you can register
is under your new name. Miss Eta
Covell, city clerk. this morning in
cluded the newlv-weds among the peo-
pie who must register again before
they can vote at the next election.
Some women, she says, register. take
some perfectly respectable citizens
name. and then try to vote under that
name without having registered again.
There are three classes of people
who must register again before they
are eligible to vote at the next cleo
tion,." said Miss CoVell this morning.
They are: Those who did not vote
at the last election; those who have
moved since they registered last. and
those who have married, and will vote
under a different name"
In accordance with the state law
which requires that the city clerks is
sue registration notices shortly after
the first of the year. Miss Coven will
officially call attention TO the regis
tration laws on January 20.
