DOUGLAS LADY FOUND DEAD HAS BEEN
 FULLY IDENTIFIED
Through The Efforts of De- putty Sheriff Chas. Cross, Murder Mystery of Shelter City Has Been Solved. Body of Mexican Woman Named Cuca Sosa.

Advices received from Douglas are to the effect that the so-called murder mystery of the unidentified woman has been solved through the actions of Deputy Sheriff Chas. Cross. A few days ago he found a man who lives in Pirtleville who gave him the first in formation and told him that the woman was a Mexican named Cuca SoCa and that he knew it was her from the fact that he had bought her the parasol that was found by the body and also other articles that were found there. He also informed the deputy of a woman who lived on 18th street who was well acquainted with the woman and who knew all of clothes and even described the buttons on some of the garments as well as the ear screws.
 The woman has been partially in- sance for some time, in fact for nearly two years and a few weeks prior to her disappearance an application was made to have her taken to the county hospital but this was denied. Accord ing to the woman, Cuca disappeared and she thought that Cusa had been taken to some institution so that she gave the matter no further thought It is her opinion and also that of the officer that Cusa had an insane at tack and crawled up under the porch, where her body was found, and died.
 Deputy Cross is confident that there was no crime committed and that the woman died a natural death.

kCOQll0ueQ fDOW fdS6 OueJ posals finally pass in the house. a fight will be made in the senate, al. though much prohibition sntiment has been apparent there and equally far reaching amendments are pending.
 On the amendment authorizing gov ernment use of distilled spirits there was no roll call and only few scat tered names were heard on the viva voce vote.
 Originally proposed by Representa- tive of North Carolina, it was accomp- lished by Chairman Lever of the agri- culture committee and was adopted on his motion.
 Near Fight Results.
 There was a hot debate over the prohibition features. Vets and drys accused each other of unfairness and Meeker, of Missouri, and Representative Kelly, of Pennsylvania, Democrat, got into such a row that their friends sur rounded them to prevent a physical encounter and then had the words they exchanged stricken from the re- coId.
 When the house returned to con of other sections of the bill, an amendment by Representative Heating, of Colorado, providing that nothing in the bill shall be construed as repeating or affecting the labor ex- provisions of the Sherman Antitrust Law, quickly was rejected, i50 to 1892 MT. Heating read letter written by Herbert C. Hoover, to Chairman Lever, endorsing the amend ment. but MT. Lever insisted that a of men in time of na- .ional distress might attempt to limit he manufacture of food necessaries f such an exemption were made.
 Senate Marks Time.
 In the senate virtually no progress vas made on the bill during the day. | The leaders were unable to hold a l Iuorum and consented to an adjourn nent after a a short session devoted | mostly to routine.
 Senator Gallinger told the senate to- lay that press reports were erroneous n saying he opposed the administra- ion bill. He said he opposed only certain objectionable" features and enied that he was among those lead ng the opposition as representative of he Republican side.

PEOPLE NOT AWAKE

General John J. Pershing, Now In France, Tells of Efficient And Great Work Done By The American Red Cross.
(By John J. Pershing.)

was requested. by some of the officers of the organization to say 8 word as to tlfe part the Red Cross played in our little expedition into Mexico
 Just before Christmas, Miss Board man wrote me a note and asked me what you could do for the men in Mexico. I telegraphed her a list of things that l thought might be accept able as Christmas presents, thinking that she would select from these some one thing to give to each man. But she sent word around to the various chapters throughout the country, and prepared not only comfort bag, but a comfort bag containing each and everyone of those articles for each man in the division.
 Making the Soldier Feel Someone
 Cares.
 The point I wish to make is that those things bring the soldier to re. member that the people at home are behind him. You do not know how much that is going to mean to us who are going abroad. You do not know how much that means to any soldier who is over there carrying the flag for his country. That is the point, I want to say. that should be uppermost in the minds of those who are working for the soldier.
 The great work, however, for this Red Cross. if you do not mind my going a little further, is to help our allies. The people of France are in sore straits. The drain that comes upon the French people reduces their power to fight, and We must meet first duty to help them rehabilitate themselves. We must help their or phans and their widows. We must help put them in position to produce. We must help them in every way to relieve the French nation from the irain upon it which will in turn be a drain upon its military resources.
 Our People Still To Wake Up.
 The feeling among our people is very lax. Our people have not begun .o realize that we are in this great war It is all very well to write news paper editorials about it and to talk about it on the platform; but it has lot yet been impressed upon the peo-l Dle out west. I have just come from Texas, where they talk to you and say, "Oh, well, we haven't lost any body; none of our vessels have been destroyed, and we do not really feel hat we are at war;
 1 put the question to all such men, Now that we are in this war, do you 'ealize that We must take the place of every man that is killed among the | lilies, that we must support the wid | ,ws and orphans? If we do not, who will do it?
 So I say that you men who are here Ire the representatives of business in ! erests are the men to start this en. erprise among our people and bring | hem to a full realization of the very | ,rave seriousness of this war, to make | hem feel that we are in this war to i win. and the probability is that our entering this war is going to be the factor, and that the burder If the success is going to rest upon he United States.

Traffic officials of all railroads west
of the Mississippi river will meet in
Chicago June to consider curtail-
nIent of thru train service to meet the
exigencies of the war situation, it was
announced in advices received today
il, Topeka.
In addition to the abandonment of
all De Luxe trains, the purpose of the
meeting will be to consider the cur
tailment of passenger trains, lengthen
the running time of trains, work out
plans for the coordination of express
and mail service, hold overland trains
to actual Iced, diminish the number
of local trains and simplify the dining

This will mean almost a transport

Kansas Farmers Will Not I'm
port Harvest Hands.
Local Labor Will Be Able to
Handle Crops.
OKLAHOMA WILL HELP OUT
Students and Boys Also To Do
Valuable Work.
State VIII Make No Appeal
Like Last Years.

Kansas will solve her own farm la
Dor troubles. That was the announce
ment today of c. H Danner, in charge
of the state employment bureau in the
state labor department. With the men
from Oklahoma who naturally come to
Kansas for the wheat harvest, Kansas
will not appeal for outside help this
year Last year the state appealed for
$4,000 men to harvest the wheat crop.
Danner is confident the state will
not confront a serious situation IN
gathering the wheat or alfalfa crops
this year. As a result OF reports
which the state department has re-
ceived from all of the important wheat
producing counties of the state, wheat
growers are showing little concern re-
garding a labor shortage. OF course
the wheat yield this year will be un-
usually small. But with tremendous
alfalfa crop and a record corn acre
age. farm troubles are at this time
giving the state department little con-
Germ.
Few Need Outside Help.
Reports have come to the state
from practically every important crop
producing county of the state A rev
of the southwestern Kansas counties
will need outside help during the
wheat harvest. But the demand is
slight and will be easily met. sum-
ner, Harper, Pawnee and Pratt coun-
ties have asked for a few men. Not
10 exceed 5000 outside men will be
required during the Kansas harvest,
Danner declares, and these men Will
come from the ranks of the profess
sional harvesters who follow the big
machines thru the wheat fields in the
northern trip from Oklahoma to
Kansas.
In a number of counties reports
state that more men are available
than will be needed. Many OF these
men will probably go from the heavy
wheat producing counties to the big
corn counties.
Not more than 5000 outside men
will be needed at the most said
Banner, land l actually believe We
will NEE. the crop situation in Kan
sas without requiring the assistance
of an outside man."
Students Are Helping.
Volunteer workmen-young men
from the big schools and colleges and
the youngsters from the high schools
and grades-are helping to meet To-
cal demands for help in many coun-
ties. In the corn producing counties
these young men are aiding in plant
ing the crops and will later operate
cultivators.
Reports in the state house today
tho, emphatically stated that no extra
men would be needed in the big wheat
counties of Edwards, Ford, Barton,
Mcpherson. Rush, Ness. Decatur,
Rocks, Russell, Osborne, Cowley,
Clark. Meade, Seward, Stafford
Kiowa, Hodgeman. Comanche, Ellis
worth. Lincoln, Mitchell and prob
ably Reno and Kingman. In an Of
fetal report this week by J. c. Mohler
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. the 1917 wheat crop was es-
timated at 40 million bushels. Last
year. when the state produced slightly
less than 100 million bushels. the state
appealed for 1000 men. Volunteer
service and better organization in the
counties, tho, will probably enable
Kansas to meet her farm situation
without help from other states.

WILL KEEP AT 1T
Chamber of Commerce Determined to
Have Fire Proof Auditorium.

Determination of the Chamber of
Commerce to obtain sufficient sigma
lures to make possible a special cleo
ton to build a fire proof auditorium,
was voiced today noon at a largely at
tended meeting of the board of di-
rectors. 1t was pointed out that a,
concerted effort on the part of the
organization would easily secure suffi
cient names on the petitions calling
for a special election as in recent
weeks with little effort nearly two
thirds enough names were obtained
by a few members.
Following the obtaining of sufficient
names to the petitions, the Chamber
of Commerce will present the petitions
to the mayor and commissioners and
assure them the support of the or
ganization in a fight for modern,
fire proof auditorium, suitable for a
first class city with big future before
it as a convention city. Plans for OBJ
tanning the remainder of names neces-
sary on the petitions and for backing
the city administration will be made
at another meeting to be held in the
near future
