Thirteenth Annual Meeting.
Members Will Refuse To Take
Anti-Draft Cases.

The Topeka Bar association held it's
thirteenth annual meeting today in
the court room of the first division of
the district court, elected officers and
adopted resolutions bearing upon mat
tiers growing out of the declaration of
war. The new officers are:
u. T. Hazen, president, reelected.
A. w. Dana, first vice president.
G. H. Whitcomb, second vice pres
ident.
Otis S. Allen, secretary and treas
urer, reelected.
The association went on record as
being opposed to aiding the enemy in
legal matters. 1t resolved to decline
assistance in any matter against the
government affecting military enlist
ment, and that the members render
assistance only where the rights prose-
cuted or defended cannot in any way
be of assistance to the country's enc
mics.
1t resolved that members offer their
legal services free to dependent fami-
lies of all soldiers in the field.
The dues of all members who are
engaged in military service will be re-
mitted and the members who stay at
home will attempt to carry on pending
cases of soldier-members and preserve
their legal practices in their own
names

COLLEGE OPENS MONDAY A. M.
Fewer Juniors and Seniors
More Girls and Freshmen.
Four New Faces Seen in Per-
sonnet of Faculty.

In spite of the war, Washhurp will
have the normal number of students
enrolled this year, according to Dean
D. l. McEachron, vice president of
the college. The only noticeable diff
ference in the enrolment his year
will be the absence of men in the
junior and senior years Freshman
men will be as numerous as ever, anC,
girls will be more plentiful.
The college opens Monday. Pegis-
tration in the night classes will b"
Monday, and registration and exam
nation for entrance to the college is
scheduled for Tuesday. Glasses begin
Wednesday.
The college class schedule will one,
more return to the old hours that were
abandoned late last term in order to
carry courses in military drill and Red
Cross work. Military drill and the Red
Cross and nursing classes will be with
drawn from the curriculum and the
old time program will be in effect the
coming year.
New Domestic Science Course.
Very few changes have been made
in the class program of the college for
the coming term A new course ill
domestic science and dietetics will be
offered this year under the direction
of Mrs Nannette Kennedy, new
member of the Washburn faculty,

E. Leigh Nudge, of the University
of Ohio, is a second new member of
the faculty. He will be in charge Of
the department of education, another
new department. He will conduct a
complete course in normal training

the drawing cards for the Topeka stu
dents. In addition to his work in the
normal training work he will be in
charge of the psychology department.
Only few changes in the program of
this branch of the college work are
predicted.

GOING TOO FAR?
Industrial Council Now Plans
To Buy Canned Goods.
Cut Throat of Business in Own
Home Town.

Canned goods at wholesale prices.
That is the next plan for economy
the Topeka Industrial council will
soon undertake Plans have been adj
vanced by a national canning factory
to supply the 5000 union men and
their families as well as non-union
men who wish to purchase canned
fruits and vegeta bles for the winter.
The plan was brought to the coun-
Gil by the canning factory. A sample
supply of the goods was received this
morning at Labor hall, AIS Kansas
avenue, and was put on display for the
union men and their families.
The goods may be ordered from
the council Monday and Tuesday of
next week for October delivery. The
goods, ordered thru the council, will De
shipped to a local grocer and dis
tributed by him to the purchasers. For
his services the merchant will receive
a commission of certain per cent
The consumer will get the canned
goods at wholesale, quoted on the
price list of the wholesaler. The saw
movement will amount to more than
so cents on the dollar.
The display at the Labor hall will
be open to all Topeka persons, nnion
or non-union, and orders will be ac-
copied for October delivery all during
/
There should be a limit to the steps
taken by the good union men of To T.
peka in their campaign for economy
In certain commodi where it is ad-
mitted that unreasonable prices are
charged the Industrial Council IS do
ing right in suggesting and exercising
direct buying. In the present plan to
buy canned goods from some ca ming
factory it must be remembered that
a big part of Topeka's prosperity is
built up thru wholesale groceries and
well equipped retail stores whose
prices are standard. The activity of
the trades that go toward the employ
ment of union men depends absolute
ly and entirely Upon the citys bust
ness and her growth. The union men
should be careful in their attempts at
taking too many profits from legiti-
mate dealers. They are digging at
the roots of their own cherry trees

four AMERICANS!
Officer Killed in Raid on Hos.
pitaI, From X. c.
Are First of Z. S. Land Forces
Killed by Germans.
nv wILLIAM PHILIP sTMMs.

Scene of the Bombardment of
American Hospitals in France, Sept
S.-Four Americans were killed when
German airmen deliberately bombed
American hospitals on the French
coast.
The men killed were First Lieut..
William T. Fitzsimmons, Kansas City,
adtutant to the colonel commanding
the Harvard hospital.
Private Leslie G.. Woods of Streator,
Rudolph Rubino, Jr., of New York.
Oscar Letugo of Boston.
In addition to those killed three
first lieutenants were wounded as well
as six privates and one nurse.
A visit to the scene of this ruthless
attack by the Germans brought con-
viction that the ombardment of the
hospitals was deliberate.
Enemy airplanes flew over the hos
pitfalls more than once during day
light hours. The hospitals were clear
ly distinguishable and in addition the
landmarks are such that they could
be easily mapped by an aviator.
In addition to the bombs which were
dropped on the hospitals served by
the Harvard and st. Louis units, one
large bomb was apparently aimed at
the Chicago hospital. This bomb
struck just across the road from the
hospital. but failed to explode.
The above United Press dispatch
carries the first American casualty
list of the war
The officers who were slaughtered
by German frightfulness, in the raid
on the American hospitals by enemy
airmen, are the first to be killed on
land since the United States entered
the war.
There have been casualties at sea
owing to the submarine warfare and
two or three accidental deaths among
the men who went abroad with Gen
eral Pershing, but the workers of
mercy among the hospital units are
the first to die in service, as the re-
suit of an enemy attack.
