Money From Store To Buy.
f. X. Krum Now Faces S5O7
Embezzling Charge.

Longing for a motor car and a
vacation in style that c-,,ld not be
financed with the salary he was draw
ing, it is asserted. brought E. K.
Krum, bookkeeper for an uptown
department store, face to- face with
the law today. He was arrested Sun
day evening on a warrant issued
from the county attorneys office
charging he embezzled $5O7 from the
store for which he worked.
krum, according to the story told
in the warrant and filled out by coun-
~ officials, was a trusted employe.
He has been in Topeka about two
years and has host of friends.
A short time ago the store for
which he worked purchased a bill of
goods from New York firm, Drubin
* Conn. The company sent a check
in payment. 1t was a discount one.
When it reached Drubin & Cohn the
firm endorsed it but apparently later
found that the discount on their books
did not correspond with the one al
lowed in the check.
The check was returned to the To-
peka firm. The endorsement, however,
was not scratched out. The check. ii
is said, in the business routine of the
store, came to Krum
He thought he saw a chance, it was
Se'iu Dy OlicldiS To-Day, to keep the
money for himself and after endorsing
II with his own name, deposited it in
local bank. He purchased the motor
car. A few days after the check was
cleared by the bank, the Topeka firm
found out what was going on.
In the meantime Krum had gone on
vacation. Sunday night he returned
on the train. County officials were
waiting for him with the warrant. His
car officials said, had been left in a
small Kansas town. His bond. in the
court of Topeka today. was placed al

years old.

Single Administrator or Board
of 8, Biggest Snag.
DRY FIGHT LOOMS UP AGAIN
Senate Having Passed, 1t Next
Goes to Conference.
President Wilson FavOrs Sen
ate Prohibition PrOvisO.

Washington, July 23.-President
Wilson probably will bring his per-
sonal influence to bear on senate and
house conferees on the food bill to
accept the house provision for a single
food administrator instead of the
board of three as voted by the senate.
The president may take a hand in
some of the other senate prohibition
section forbidding manufacture of dis
titled liquors but allowing manufacture
of beer and wine. The house put IN
''bone dry section
The president heretofore has op-
posed O congressional committee to
investigate the conduct of the war and
there is no reason to believe he Will
favor such an amendment.
House Threatens Finish + 1T
House prohibitionists declared today
they would fight some of the liquor
amendments to the food bill uncom-
promisingly regardless of appeals for
speedy agreements Dry leaders look
to making the bill nearer the form IN
which IL left the houSe-'bone dry
for the durati IN of the war The house
"drys''" concede it may be impossible
for them to restore the absolute pro-
hibitiC = of manufacture OF beer ana
wine but they hope at least to get
in section giving the president power
to limit or prohibit their production.
The Smoot Redistribution amendment
also will be subjected to attack be-
cause it would not affect liquor out of
bond
Attacks 50 Wheat.
Washington, July 2s.-An effort by
Senator Trammel. Florida, to have
the food control bill brought back
from conference tor reconsideration
of the 50 a bushel minimum price
on wheat was defeated in the senate
today. 81 to s.
TrammeI declared retention of the
50 wheat provision would mean con-
sumers would have to pay from S12
to SIS a barrel for flour.
'''Nhe consumers are paying more
now than they ought to- he said
Presumably the purpose of the food
bill was to cut prices
THAT purpose is defeated by the
senate's 50 wheat amendment"
Chamberlain's motion to table re-
consideration prevailed.
Weeks Argument Due.
Congressional conferees today oe-
the final drive to draft a food control
bill. Arguments are expected TO con-
tinue for at lease a week-Saturday
being the earliest day set by optimistic
congressman for disposition of the

ference report.
Discuss Trading With Enemy"
A senate sub committee today be-
gan hearings on the administration
trading with the enemy bill, already
passed by the house, with Secretary
Redfield and others appearing to ad-
Yocate prompt action.
The bill Is patterned after Great
Britain trading with the enemy act.
Its chief features are prohibitions
against business intercourse with any
country with which the United States
is at war or it's allies, except under
license. and provisions for govern
mental seizure of the property of
alien enemies and enemy patents.

local boards they are shut off auto
matically from volunteering.

DISASTER AT FRONT
Fire ON Deserters and Runaways 1
Order to Russ Battle Line.

Petrograd. July %. Sunday. July.
22).-Chaotic conditions prevailing on
part of the Russian front are disclosed
in a telegram sent to Premier Keren-
sky, the provisional government and
the council of workTnen's and soldiers
delegates by the executive committee
and the commissioner of the provi-
sional government with the second
army on the southwestern front. The
telegram announced the Inauguration
of stern measures to combat disaffec-
ton.
I'VE unanimously recognize that the
situation demands extreme measures
and efforts, for everything must be
risked to save the revolution from
catastrophe the message reads THE
COMMUNICATIVE chief on the western
front and the commander of the army
today has given orders to fire on de-
serters and runaways.
Let the country know the truth
Let it act without mercy. Let it find
enough courage to strike those who
by their cowardice are destroying Rus
STA and the revolution"
Completely Disorganized.
Referring to the threatened disas-
ter the telegram says:
Most military units are in a state
of complete DISCRIMINATION. Their
spirit for the offensive has utterly dis
appeared. They no longer listen to
orders of their leaders and they neg
lect all exhortations of comrades, even
replying by threats and shots. Some
elements voluntarily evacuated posi-
lions without even waiting for the
approach of the enemy.
Gases are on record in which an
order given to proceed with all haste
to such and such a spot to assist COM
rades in distress has been discussed
for several hours at meetings and re-
Inducements consequently have been
delayed.
These troops abandon their posi-
tions at the first shots of the enemy.
For dista- ce of several hundred
versts. long files of deserters armed
and unarmed. men in good health and
robust who have lost all shame and
feel they can act altogether with inn
punity, are -N-oceeding to the rear.
