POOR NEED HELP
Confidential Exchange Could
Do Great Work Now.
But 1t Is Closed Because of Lack
of Operating Funds.

The closing of the Confidential Ex-

both distress and criticism,

again. Commissioner w. L. Porter
said today. THE exchange has done
valuable work thru it's secretary Miss
Adams, who has given all her atten-
ton and energies to the organization
of charitable work in Topeka at pit
lance wage. Next year it should be
placed on a business basis"
1T is a shame that the Exchange
had to close just when it was needed
most" said Miss Kate Pearson, head
of the Public Health Nursing associa-
ton and a pioneer agitator for the
establishing of the Exchange. eft is
too late to do anything this year A
month ago by efforts of the Welfare
committee enough money might have
been secured to carry on the work
during the remainder of the winter
Meanwhile Miss. Adams, secretary
of the Exchange, is answering daily
a flood of phone calls from Topeka
givers asking why the Exchange is
not in operation.
The Exchange was founded two
years ago to organize the charitable
work of the city and preve..t dupli-
cation of giving food as well as fur
niShing other assistance. Thru it's
agency more than 1900 baskets of
food were distributed at Thanksgiving

SAFE IN ENEMY PORT
British Guard Carefully Ship Bearing
German Embassy From U. S.

Halifax, Feb. discrimination of
passengers, including Count Won Bern
storff, began aboard the Scandinavian
American liner Frederik VIII today
Naval officials boarded the big liner
in Bedford basin, where she spent the
night.
The examination will not require
much time, as a large staff, many of
them coming from Ottawa for the pur-
pose, will have charge of the work.
The ship steamed into the harbor
here at 1890 last night. She passed
the city and went into anchorage in
Bedford basin after once having en-
tered the river, only to be sent back
to wait until darkness had fallen.
She made the ordinary report and
signal exchange with the guardship
outside and anchored at the mouth of
the harbor for the port entrance ex-
animation. On passing up the river
the liner was accompanied by naval
patrol boats.
Some curiosity in the arrival of the
ship was displayed, but there was no
excitement Few gathered to see the
ship pass the city. Supreme authority
lies with naval officials, and, a safe
conduct having been granted, the for
mer ambassador and his suite were
carefully guarded.

One or the measures most demand
ed by the men who believe the con-
stitution needs a hair cut, concerned
the building of highways. Under the
measure proposed by Wilmoth of
Cloud, the state might have engaged
in highway building and conducted a
campaign for flood prevention. But

provement program like a country

members played the safety first game
and killed the measure.
Friends of constitutional conven-
ton sought to remove the limit from
the constitutional game. Under the
present constitution not more than
three proposed changes may be sub
mitted at any one election. Mack's
resolution provided that the limit
should be removed and al legislature
might submit one or forty proposed
changes. Mack provided a large
amount of argument for his resolu-
ton. A postcard protest against the
war in Europe would have been fully
as effective.

Such is the story told by Emmett
Oleson, manager of "Burk's Uncle
Toms Cabin" show, wintering at
the state fair grounds in Topeka. Ole
son played in stock for years in THE
Clansman, "'"The Wolf and number
of other we'll known plays and for
several months played in the movies.
He worked for the old Majestic and
Reliance companies, which had stu
dos in Los Angeles.
Hundreds with movie aspirations
appear at the studios morning after
morning and wait for the director to
appear. Oleson spent several weeks
among those hundreds. The director
appears at the gate.

The old men and middle aged men
step out and are picked by the di-
rector. They get S1.10 for that days

"A sewing circle" the director calls.
Women who can't speak of 80 any
more without a lump pushing it's way
throatward, step forward. And in
this manner do the movie directors
pick their groups. Three dollars a
day with makeup, which they are
obliged to furnish themselves, and

TAKE UP AMENDMENTS
House F7irts With Three Constitution
al Measures Friday.

The house ditched two proposed
constitutional amendments, adopted a
third resolution for a constitutional
change and sidetracked consideration
of six remaining measures until Tues
day afternoon. Mack's provision for
submission of more than three
amendments at a legislative session
never started. The Wilmoth plan per-
hitting the state to engage in works
of internal improvements as affecting
highway building and flood preven-
ton, went down with a crash.
Just one proposed amendment was
approved by the house. That measure
concerns a graduated scale of tax as
sessment A similar measure was
submitted by the legislature of 1913
and was beaten at the polls in 1914.
Martin of Reno and Harvey of Clark
led the fights on the constitutional
measures. With the organization
which swung behind the proposed
amendments, it is quite certain that all
provisions for constitutional changes
might have been killed. But the
house members did not concern them
selves seriously with the tax provision

HITS BUILDING IN
STREET; WRECKS auto

Oscar Price. Fargo, bumped into
a frame building, standing at the
intersection OF Fourth street and
Fifth street south, while driving
south on Fourth street with his auto
mobile late Saturday night. The
building, which was being moved,
was protected by one light on either
end. but Mr. Price thought the OBJ
struction was in the center Of the
street only, and a wrecked automo-
bile was the result.
Mr.. Price thinks liability attaches
to the city; as he claims the lights
were no sufficient to warn one driv-
ing an automobile that the street
was obstructed the full width. The
matter will probably be laid before
the city council at the monthly meet
ing tonight: when the rate of speed
at which the car was being driven
and other details will come up for
consideration.
