KEENE EXPLAINS 1T
Speaker of House Great Admirer of
Maurice McCauliffe-

Speaker Keene, candidate for gov
ernor, denied today that his vitupera-
tive remarks from the speakers stand
were directed against President Nc
Cauliffe of the Farmers union.
Keene's criticism was against w. F.
Brown of Pratt, who was called upon
by the farmers to talk in representa-
tive hall.
No claim was made by Keene that
he was misquoted. He stated, how
ever, that the effect of his warm re-
! marks were directed against the
wrong person
Il made no such statement what
ever in regard to President Maurice
McCauliffe," said Keene in a formal
statement today. Mr.. McCauliffe is a
statement today. Mr.. McCauliffe is a
man of high character and would not
make a false statement in my judg-
ment. 1 suggested to the house that
a motion be made asking the farmers
union to appear before the legislature
and tell US their wants. 1 have the
greatest respect for the Farmers I'M
ion and its president. The gentleman
that 1 referred to from the speakers
stand as having made a misstatement
was not even a member of the Farm
ers union.''
President McCauliffe and others ad-
dressed the legislature. They We're
severe in their criticism of the action
of the legislature in defeating the CO.
operative banking bill. When the
speaker made his reply, it was nat
urally inferred that he directed his
remarks to the head of the farmer
| organization.

DANCED TOO OFTEN
Woman Wanted by Law, Caught
While Happy.

Her husband wanted her and came
here all the way from Coffeyville for
her and finally located her while she
was buying shoes in a store room on
lower Kansas avenue. The state want
ed her, too, and she might have
escaped had she not been so keen to
attend a public dance.
There Miss Eva Corning, probation
officer, who had been searching for
her with the aid of her mother and
others, located Mrs. Elsie NJ. McCune
Phillips and Elsie is waiting ANXIOUS
ly for the arrival of Miss Effie Load
er, probation officers from the Girls
Industrial school at Beloit.
Elsie is wanted by the state for
breaking her parole. Her moher lives
in North Topeka and hasn't been able
to locate the girl. Her husband didn't
know where she was and he came here
from a farm at Coffeyville to get her
before the law" got her. When Elsie
was located by young Phillips, she
didn't express any great glee when an
invitation was extended to return to
the COWS and chickens.
Wen go to a dance tonight and
think it over" said Elsie.
1.-The laws looking for you,'' her
husband warned.
'T couldn't go if I would cause
I'm married now" retorted Elsie.
But the law isn't paying any atten-
ton to matrimonial bonds and if Miss
Loader doesn't see fit to send Elsie
back to the cows and chickens, she'll
return to Beloit.

COOPER ON TRIAL
Hunts Next Door Neighbor on Stand
This Afternoon.

What date should the meter that
Mrs. Cooper claims Hunt came to
read, have been inspected" w. E.
Atchison, attorney for the defense of
Ezra Cooper, in trial for the murder
of Hunt, in the court of Topeka, fired
at W. J. Loving, a fellow employee
of Hunts. this afternoon
ION Jan. 49, Loving replied.
Then what excuse could Hunt
have had to read it again on January
20?" Atchison asked.
This was the only point scored by
the defense at the preliminary trial
this afternoon. Atchison endeavored
dozen times to get Elmer Gibbon,
a friend of Hunts to give damaging
testimony concerning the alleged rela-
tions between Hunt and Mrs. Cooper:
At each question the county attorney
objected and the objection was sus-
tanned.
Cooper was present with his sister
and two brothers. Mrs. Hunt, heavily
yelled sat near the prosecuting attor-
ney. The court room was damned.
The attorneys agreed to postpone
hearing of testimony until Monday
morning at o'clock

WANTS U. S. ZONE.
Let Z. S. Signify How Far Ger
many Can Go.
Senator McCumber Demands
Nation Specify Position.

Washington, Feb. 10.-'Just how
far Germany can go before the United
States enters the European war as
a combatant" was the question Sena-
tor McCumber, Republican, asked in
the senate today.
McCumber several days ago intro
duced a resolution demanding con-
struction by secretaries Of war and
navy of international laws affecting
submarine warfare.
McCumber introduced resolution
today demanding his question be ans
wered. Discussing it, he said:
II would suggest that the United
States establish 2 zone also that
would show Germany just what she
has to do to get US into war.
''Since February 1, about rs ships
have been sunk by German subma-
rines without warning, but the presi-
dent has told us to await an overt act.
Not Even for a Lusitania Case.
IF we are to wait for anything
further there never will be cause for
us to enter the struggle"
Referring to the decision of yes
terday's cabinet meeting that only the
destruction of American ships and
American lives would be regarded rs
cause for war, McCumber asked:
Does this mean we no longer ques-
ticn Germany's right to sink belliger-
ent ships with Americans on board
without warning and that such an act
would call for nothing more than an
ether note?
IF we have another Lusitania case.
will we let it go by without anything
more than a note being sent to Ger
rnany?"
At McCumber's request, his resolu-
ton was referred to the senate for
eign relations committee

DEUTSCHLAND TAKEN?
Captured by British Says ButIer-Ger-
man Policy Will Fail.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 10.-Nicholas
Murray Butler. president of Columbia
university. declared in an interview
here today that the submarine
Deutschland has been captured by the
British.
Il have positive knowledge" he
said. that the Deutschland is one of
eighty-five German submarines in one
British port. l know that the British
have captured not less than 200 Ger
man submarines"
Relative to the Deutschland, Butler
added that the Deutschland now lying
at Bremen is another submarine with
that name painted on it to support the
German story that the big commerce
carrier never started on a third trip.
DIR. Butler said that the German sub
marine plan will not succeed. The
British patrol and the active subma-
rine arm of the British navy will prove
their efficiency to adequately and most
effectively deal with the blockade, he
declared.

.TANDY is IN RACE
Commissioner of Streets An
nOunces His Candidacy.
Demand for His Services
Prompts Him to Enter.

That the city political campaign is
ginning to take definite form is
evidenced by the formal announce
ment of the candidacy for reelection
as Commissioner of Streets and Public
Improvements of Commissioner w. G..
Tandy.
Whether Tandy would be in the
race has been an interesting subject or
speculation on the part of friends and
prospective candidates for his job Tor
some months. Last summer randy
announced he would not be in the
race again. Shortly after petition
was started ON its career in North
Topeka and which secured some 10
or 20 lineal feet of names. In the
last month petitions have been cir
culated all over the city urging him
to reconsider his decision. and the
evident demand has decided Tandy
to supply himself.
Tandy Explains.
Tandy's reasons are given as fol-
lows:
"Since announcing my decision not to be
q candidate for office, great many people
have come to me and asked me to recon-
slider my former decision and again be a
candidate for this office | have received
a number of petitions from different parts
of the city asking me to reconsider
"In view of the fact that we must have
a new engineer, great many people think
that we should not have n new commits
sioner and new engineer take charge OF
the affairs of the office at the same time.
in view of the facts that my friends and
supporters and the public generally have
stood by me in the past when | wanted the
office l do not feel like | can disappoint
them when there is apparently real de-
mand for me to stay in the office. For the
above reasons l have made up my mind to
become a candidate for the commissioner
of street and public improvements, and if
elected / will promise the same faithful
and diligent service that l have tried to
render in the past"
While no definite gauntlet has been
thrown before Tandys feet it seems
assured that he will he opposed for re-
election by II. c. Stevens, who was de-
feated for the legislature last fall.
