Wilson'S dictum that there must be

way among European powers.
Various missions visiting America
on commercial errands have Informed
the United States tariff commission
that plans to deny Germany a market
for its goods after the contest is over
have been abandoned by all impor-
tant powers.
When missions first arrived to dis
cuss trade and business. they called on

purpose of sounding out America s
position. They We're informed that
President Wilson's declaration against
any trade combinations leading to
perpetuate world enrlities stood as
Americas firm policy.
No StrangIi~ of Commerce.
From an original feeling of opposi-
ton to this policy, the attitude of Eu-
ropeanS is becoming actually friendly
toward the idea, according to mem
bers of the tariff commission. This
body is devoting most of its time to
formulating a trade program for
America after the war. AS outlined
by Chairman Taussig. this policy is:
No CONNER L, as well as no mill

No strangling of any nations nat

OCTOBER WAS COLD
Windy. Also, Weather Man
Reports Today.

The month just closed was the cold
est and came very nearly being the
windiest October on record at Topeka
since the local weather bureau office
was esta blished 81 years ago. Accord
ing to the monthly weather report.
There was a killing frost on the eighth
which is eight days before the average
date for the first autumn killing frost,
freezing weather on 3 nights, and
severe cold wave on the twenty-eighth
and twenty-ninth resulting in a min
imum temperature of 90 degrees on
the thirtieth. which is the lowest ever
recorded at Topeka so early in the
fall. On one day, the twenty-ninth,
the temperature failed to rise above
the freezing mark all day.
The near-winter weather conditions
OF the month were relieved by much
more than the average amount of
sunshine and were rendered less dis
agreeable than they would otherwise
have been by the fact that the pre-
clpitation was light, amounting to
only LIS inches, O,76 inch below nor
NAL and scarcely more than a fourth
OF the amount that fell in September
preceding. Snow fell on the early
morning of the twenty-ninth to a
depth or OF inch, which is somewhat
unusual as only five other Octobers in
81 years have seen measurable snow
at Topeka
The killing frost of the eighth put
premature end to the growth of
vegetation and caused considerable
damage to cane and grain sorghums

LIour1shed up to that time, but other

Kinney Tries to Dissolve
Court Restraining Order

The efforts of John +. Kinney,
Minneapolis business man, who is
trying to regain possession OF three
minor children, now in the custody
OF the mother, Mary Z. Kinney, en-
ployed as bookkeeper in an Omaha
grocery store, were advanced in dis
trict court on an entirely new angle
when his attorneys filed motion to
dissolve the temporary restraining
order of his former wife.
Kinney originally brought ha-
bcas corpus action requiring Mrs.
Kinney to appear before Judge Sears
with the three children. He alleged
that when they were divorced in the
Hennepin county (Minnesota) court,
he was granted custody of the chill
dren. Mrs Kinney recently filed a
petition for divorce here, setting forth
that her former husband obtained his
dccreee by fraud. She then got the
restraining order.
In the fathers latest action he as
serts that the restraining order is
contrary to law, contrary to the con-
stitution of the state of Nebraska and
contrary to the constitution of the
United States, and that the court is
without jurisdiction to enjoin and re-
strain him from applying, on behalf
of his children, for a writ of habeas
corpus.

warnings. Meyers says Baker lured
his daughter away from home two
months ago and induced her to take
an apartment downtown. At the
time his daughter left home, Meyers
says, he told his story to Chlet OF
Police Dunn, who summoned Baker
and made him promise that he would
stop calling or Miss Meyers, but
Meyers says Baker ignored that
promise.

lives at 2224 Pratt street. Officials at
