Up to the Jury.
SOUTHWICK ON THE STAND
President of Bank Believes Ed
Gresser Is Honest.
Both Sides Close Their Case at
Noon Today.

Expert bankers and accountants
were called to the witness stand to-
day by the prosecution in rebuttal to
charges made by Clark Gresser that
he had confessed to embezzling $4,000
from the Citizens State bank while
employed as assistant bookkeeper, at
the request of his brother Ed, the
cashier. Both sides closed their cases
at noon.
Robert D. Carver county attorney,
spent nearly the entire morning in
endeavoring to prove to the jury that
alterations had been made in the
banks books during January and
February of 1916 while Ed Gresser
was alleged to have been at Hot
Springs. Arkansas. Walter E. Wilson,
state bank commissioner; J. w. Rob-
inson, expert accountant; George
Thompson, former banker now with
the Merriam Mortgage company and
william Henderson, former Topeka
bank cashier, were the expert wit
nesses called TO the stand.
The defense admitted there were al
terations, five or six in number, dur
ing that period. Carver asked each
of these witnesses whether it would
have heen possible for these aItera-
tions to have been made four or five
weeks later and still have the same
balances and entries carried on the
bank books as appeared on the books

States Executive Had To Ex-

Governor Capper is perhaps the
first state executive to receive a tip
for his official services. This morn
ing a Kansas City woman rendered
the governor so cent tip. Tine tip
was given the astonished governor
when efforts had been used to in
duce a derelict husband to return to
his wife and kiddies.
Miss Laura French, of Emporla,
may now catalog the offense of the
Kansas City woman as another crime

that stenographers were on the regu-

had performed a service. He must
be rewarded. So the woman waived
aside her tip and told the governor
to buy himself some cigars

He suggested the man should send

This morning a letter came to the
governors office which indicated re-

Lead Armed Revolt.
Boast Govt Is Afraid To Arrest
Their Leaders.
CONSCRIPTION NOW THE ISSUE
Demand Irish Who Don't Want
To Fight Be Exempted.
Meanwhile Constitutional Con-
ventiOn Trying To Form Govt.

London. Oct 25.-The seriousness
of the situation in Ireland is insisted
upon by a correspondent of the Daily
Mail who has been following the Sim
Fein doings for several weeks. He
saws the whole of West Ireland is on
the verge of an armed rebellion ana
continues: The young priests in Pro-
feSsor De Nalerais train have aWak-
ened to the danger of the spark thev
helped to kindle and now are trying
to quench it but [ fear it has gone too
far The militant Sim Feiners are at
the top of their stride. They have
been allowed to carry the program to
a pitch which it seems almost hope
less to break by pacific means.
The Sim Feiners are sublimely con-
fident and say that Tuesdays debate
in parliament shows plainly the gov
ernment is afraid of them.
Sim Feiners Open Congress.
The correspondents add that there is
a ray of hope in that the Sim Fein
day. may result in checking the mill
tant section.
There is not the slightest doubt
he continues, that the rock around
which the troubled waters are now
swirling is the question of conscrip-
tioEs If ii. were announced .cleffnirefy
by the government that no endeavor
would he made to force conscription
on Ireland before another general
election it is possible that large num-
bers of Sim Feiners would refrain
from fomenting trouble"
The police are arresting several To-
cal leaders in Cork and Limerick but
the Sim Feiners say that these are
small fry and do not matter They
boast that the authorities dare not ar
rest Professor De Valera or Countess
Markievicz.
Editorially the Daily Mail empha-
sizes the extreme gravity of the
Irish situation as revealed in Tues
days debate in the house of commons
1t infers that THE point of irrepressi-
BILE conflict is being approached" and
does not believe the Sim Feiners will
pay much attention to the warning OF
Premier Lloyd George.
Give Rule TO Irishmcn.
The newspaper believes the warn
ing may have to be enforced unless
at this late hour some scheme can be
devised to make Irishmen themselves
responsible for the preservation oi
law and order. The Daily Mail sug-
gests the following:
THAT the convention be invited to
take upon itself the responsibility foi
nominating a small body of Irishmen
who carry on the government in Ire
land until the convention has either
reached an agreement or adjourned
indefinitely. The great need of the
moment IS to get the management oi
Irish affairs into Irish hands as what
ever is done by English authority i,

with the air of one who feels that
service should not go unrewarded.
It's for your time and efforts and
for postage It's all right I don't ex-
pect you to do these things for moth
ing"
But" fumbled the governor. you
don't owe me anything. You can't
pay me. The state furnishes the
stamps and stationery and the legis-
lature has provided pay for the steno-
graphers."
But the thought of a wandering
husband who was coming home was
too much for the woman. She was
overcome. She didn't entertain the
slightest thought of letting the gov
ernor's work go unrewarded.
Don't think a thing about it That's
perfectly all right" And the woman
almost purred her soothing compii-
ment and gratitude. Go buy your
self some cigars.
Then the woman smiled again and
turned to leave the office Only the
strongest manner of argument that a
governor can't take tips and that the
Kansas governor doesn't smoke. any
way-not even pipe or vile. wicked
cigarets-persuaded the woman thai
maybe she should recall her tip and
invest it in liberty bond for the
baby.
