HE ASKED FOR A. ROOM

Undersheriff Bob Miller was given
an opportunity to room with a man
he was looking for on a desertion
charge. Miller didn't take the room
but he did take Fred Sharpless. a
member of Company A, radio corps,
his prospective roommate and the lat
ter is locked up IN the county Jail to-
day.
Miller went to Usage City after
Sharpless. He learned that a girl liv-
ing there was occupying a major pro-
portion of the young mans time. The
girl was living with an aunt who kept
a boarding house Miller applied for
a room. The aunt had no single rooms
but offered Miller a good room with a
nice young man." The n. V, m. was
the fellow Miller was endeavoring to
locate. He was placed under arrest.
Sharpless enlisted in the radio COM
pany in Topeka and camped at Ripley
park. Shortly before the company
left for Fort Sill, he asked a short
leave of absence to look after business
affairs at Usage City. Since that time
he hasn't reported for duty, according
to information received by the sher-
ifs office in Topeka

HOLMAN BACKS UP
Public Schools May Not Have
To Close Next Week.
He Repudiates Part of InfOrma-
ton He Gave State Journal.
TALKED WITH LOCAL DEALER
Saws Three-Car Order Came In
Friday and Today.
Probability of 'VacatiOns" This
Winter Not Myth, However.

Because it printed information OBJ
tanned from a source that should be
reliable and because that source has,
in part, repudiated the Information,
the State Journal has been placed IN
light of eXaggeration as to the story
in Friday afternoons editions to the
effect that the schools may be forced
to close possibly for a few days next
week, because of the coal situation.
In responce to a query from the
State Journal on the coal situation in
the Topeka public schools Friday aft
ernoon, NJ. c. Holman, clerk of the
board of education, stated that only
seventy five tons of coal were now in
the bins of the schools. This amount,
he admitted was less than enough to
Holman further stated that no con-
tracts would be made for the schools
winter supply by local dealers, in
spite of their advertising for bids.
An order for three carloads of coal
had been given to local dealer, Mr..
Holman said, but at the time tFri-
day. the shipment had not arrived.
1t was expected next week he said.
A second order for six cars of coal
had been given but it would not be
filled for some time, possibly two or
three weeks, he asserted.
The supply for the public schools,
he stated. would be bought wagonload
by wagonload, if no larger shipments
could be secured in the future. At
present, he admitted. that the school
board was buying here, there and any
place that a load could be taken.
After Fridays issue was on the
streets, Hugh Hodgins of the Topeka
| Cold Storage, Ice & Fuel company
| called Holman on the telephone and
| says he offered to furnish Holman all
the coal he wanted. Holman, he said
! stated that while there was only sew
enty-five tons in the school bins, one
of the three cars ordered had arrived
Friday afternoon and the other two
would be here today. Holman later
| made the same statement to the State
Journal repudiating the information
that the three cars would not arrive
until next week, making it probable
that the schools would have to close
Mr.. Holman's statements, however, did
not repudiate the possibility of the
schools taking forced vacations this
winter.
| If the board of education buys coal
wherever it can get it and the short
age is as bad as the dealers say it is,
| it will be impossible for the schools
to obtain an adequate supply unless
the governments hand in the matter
forces the dealers to come thru

Rut Judging by comments of those
in the audience who were in luck in
being placed in the seats they re
served the big hits of the evening
were made by Mrs. George H. Allen,
as the forgetful Bo-Peep, and the lost
princess restored to her heritage. The
theme of her song, Il forget all the
things I should remember" was set
to a tuneful and plaintive melody that
appeared repeatedly thruout the score,
and was exceedingly popular. The
bov scouts with Uncle Sam were
roundly applauded, and also troup
of little girls in flower frOcks. A

audience and did exceptionally pretty

Mrs. George Parkhurst successfully
