WON'T AID TEACHERS
Members of School Board Refuse to
Help Circulate Salary Petitions.

The board of education will not CO.
operate with the public school teachers
in petitioning the citizens of Topeka
for the proposed increase in salary. At
least that was decided upon Tuesday
night at an adjourned session of the
board when they begged the question
stating that two of the members of
the board were absent and that no
vote would be taken on the question
until all members were present.
The teachers were represented be-
fore the board Tuesday by r. w. Cop
pedge, president of the Teachers Guild
of the High school, and Mrs. Anna
Aniba of the Grade Teachers club.
They presented a resolution to the
board asking for the cooperation in
circulating petitions among the bust
ness men and women of Topeka secur-
ing their approval of a raise in the
present tax levy.
The petition, the board claimed, was
too general and dealt with all teachers
alike, including those of the high
school and of the grade schools 9th

ence to the wording of the petition

WANT 10000 men STREAM TO ALTAR
Kansas Marriages in April
Broke All Previous Records.
Wichita Made Up for Low Reg
istration With Weddings.

Marriages in Kansas are increasing
at the rate of thirty per cent over last
year, according to records being re-
ceived by J.. w. V. Deacon, state reg
istrar in the office of the state board
of health. Records for the first twen-
ty-five days of May indicate a matri-
monia1 record of 1910 for the month
as against 1,41S for May last year.
Wichita, which this week showed
tremendous slump in it's registration
for military CONSUMPTION, broke all
speed records in sending young men
and women to the probate judges
office. Not only did Wichita slump
5000 from it's expected registration.
but it increased its matrimonial
record 125 per cent over 1915. This
increase is shown in the comparison
of April records
Keep Up Rush.
When the April records were COM
piled by Registrar Deacon, they show
ed that Kansas had broken all matri-
monial records since the establish
ment of the bureau of vital statis; les
But the rush of the altar of love was
not confined to the single month. Fol-
lowing the passage of the CONSUMPTION
bill, Kansas apparently did her part
in increasing the crop of bridegroCms
The April record for the three large
ran far ahead of other communities
in matrimonial business. April, 1916,
showed seventy-one Wichita matri-
monial contracts. The same month
this year showed 1852. Kansas City,
the largest city in the state, held an
almost equal balance with 1916 and
registered 140 marriage licenses as
against 1877 for the same month last
year.
Big Increase Here.
Topeka increased her marriage rec
ord nearly so per cent for the month.
The 1917 report shows eighty Topeka
| licenses for the month, as against
fifty-one for the same month in 1916.
Complete records for the entire
month of May will not be available
| for several days. Comparisons of the
| April returns with reports for 1916
have already been made. And returns
from records for the first twenty-five
days of May, show tht Kansas is main
tanning an increase of 80 per cent over
| a year ago.

LOOTERS STILL BUSY
ST, 400 and Diamonds Stolen From
One Tornado Sufferer.

The misfortunes of people in the
tornado district did not end with the
storm-in some cases. Looting fol-
lowed and is being reported now.
James Wilson, chief of police, stated
today that John Logged of Eskridge,
had reported thefts amounting to ST.
500 and had appealed to the police
of Topeka for assistance.
Loyed, according to the report, lost
two diamond rings, a ruby ring and
400 in money. He had a means of
knowing that the money and rings
were not carried away by the storm,
he stated. A man has been assigned
to the case by Chief Wilson.
Another man, this one from Elmont,
reported that the only thing left in
tact at his farm was a set of harness
and that it was stolen soon after
the storm. He made a search and
found two parts in different places.
Since then the. two parts have been
stolen again.

Idella Wade says her husband, AL

ing away from home one and two
weeks at a time, denying her his af-

lavishes both on others, consequently
she feels she might just as we'll be di-

direction today when she filed petit
ton for divorce in the district court
She states that they were married
in Topeka, July 80, 1911, and that
they are the parents of a boy years
of age. She charges that he has failed
and refused to provide her with prop
err support and has absented himself
on numerous occasions for one and
two weeks at a time, denying her his
affection while lavishing it upon 9TH

cursed and abused her. She wants a
