$4,000 Greeks Deported

WASHINGTON, June 27.-An official
dispatch from Salonica states that, &C
cording to an officer who remained be-
hind at Kavalla after the occupation
Of that city by the Bulgarians, and who
later escaped, $4,000 inhabitants wcre
obliged to leave the vicinity when the
deportation of Greeks between the ages
Of sixteen and forty-tive wears was
under way. The inhabitants of the vii
lage of Pravi were exterminated.
The officer stated that famine is SC
acute that the people have been re
duced to eating. their dogs. Youne
Greek girls are made the victims o,
Bulgarian officers. All shops have beer
plundered. The total number of dc
portatlons was placed at $4,000.

gcsted that no one was expected to
believe such statements anyway.
For the ultimate bursting OF the
Emersonian bubble the article expos
ing the company-s workings which The
Tribune published WAS specifically and
repeatedly blamed and practically all
the lawyers took occasion to indulge
in vitriolic attacks on the meth hods
and motives of The Tribune.
Meanwhile the s2o,b00 that went to
Boston when an investigation of the
temptation there was still unexplained.
Several times Charles LIE Barber
seemed on the verge of Offering an ex-
planation, but in the end all he said
was that his client, Matches, had not
been proved to have any essential con-
nection with the alleged transaction,
and that it was "unfair of the govern
ment to obtrudc this issue into the
case" in any circumstance.
Campbel's Honesty Their Defence
Robert Craig Hupp, the man who,
together with Campbell, drew up the
original estimate for car "to sell at
1895 and yield S69 profit was re-
peatedly and culogistically referred to
as dreamer" Of heroic proportions
Much, too, was said Of the feasibility
of challenging Ford at his own chosen
speciality. But in the end it was

which all the defendants invariably re-
turned as the guarantee Of the good
faith with which they absorbed the
public's cash
In presenting the personal case for

also a defendant in the trial, Stanley
Fowler made what was generally con-
ceded to be one of the most brilliant
pleas heard in United States District
Court in many months. He was also
the first of the defending attorneys to
meet the government prosecutor,
James W. Osborne, I'd, squarely on his
own ground.
Alone among the defending counsel,
Mr.. Fowler took up the governments
allegation that these defendants will
fully sold stock to the public at prices
which they knew to be in excess of it's
value.
THAT charge is the meat of this case,'
he said. "And whom did the govern
iment bring before yod to prove it? 1.
brought Mr.. Berkeley, trained statis-
tlcian,, good, man. And after he had
proved himself the master of all the
figures in the case, ne figured out the
value of the stock before your eyes as
three cents per share.
Saw Jury Was Impressed
Il saw you gentlemen turn in your
seats and look at each other when that
result was announced That was what
impressed you gentlemen of the jury.
But that wasn't all there was to it.r
And then Mr.. Fowler recalled how, on
the following day, he had brought out
on crossexaminetion the fact that that
value was figured on liquidation
basis, without allowing for the bust
ness prospects of the firm, the orders
it had on hand, its connection with an
automobile radiator concern that al
ready at that time had 81, 100000 worth
Of contracts for the year ahead.
Taking up the advertisement in which
Mr.. Campbell declared that he believed
Emerson common to be good buy"
at any price under SO a share, Mr..
Fowler asserted that the statement was
an entirely justitiable one in view of
the record of the automobile business
and that it would have seen so proved
had not the government interviewed.

SUFF BILL LOSES
Senate Beats the Amendment
in Final Vote.
Presidents Influence Not Suffi-
cient To Pass 1t.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The senate
defeated suffrage amendment this
afternoon.
On the final roll call on adoption of
the resolution, the senate cast 53 votes
for and 81 against the measure, less
than the two-thirds majority.
Moving toward a final vote, the SEN
ate rejected. 81 to %, the proposal of
Senator Williams to limit the fran
chise to white women.
Wilson's Appeal Ignored.
President Wilson's appeal in behalf
of the resolution apparently made no
change in the voting, the opposition
securing every vote claimed. The ma
jority lack two votes of the necessary
two-thirds and the change recorded
for Senate Jones made it three.
Examination of the pairs disclosed
that senators were lined up exactly as
claimed by leaders before the vote and
just as they were yesterday before and
after the president addressed the SEN
ate.

of Kansas Troops.
ARTILLERY WORKS IN OPEN

Crack Prussian Division Re-
pulsed by Kansans.


Topeka and Kansas boys-boys that
you have known since they waddled
around in kiddie clothes and 1isped as
they learned the letters of their Lam
guage-are making history on the
battlefield northwest of Verdun and
state and nation with a glory that
ages of time will not dim.
Definite information verifying the
belief that Topeka and Kansas boys
were in the thick of the fighting near
Verdun has been received over the
cables during the last twenty-four
hours. There can be little doubt now
but that many Kansas troops are
showing the Huns how kansans fight,
and in all probability Battery A. To-
peka's favorite unit, Major Hammell's
field hospital unit and the other Or
ganizations that trained at Camp
Doniphan with the 35th' division, are
there and going forward all the time.
Defeat Best Prussians.
The cable dispatches Monday told
how the Kansas and Missouri troops
were pushing their way down the
right bank Of the River Aire and how
even division of the Prussian guard,
the crack so1diery of the kaiser, was
unable to check their advance.
The artillery units are working day
and night in the open, the cable dis
patches assert. and in all probability

ago today left Topeka for Camp Dom
iphan, is one of the artillery units that

Get MORE GAS?
Jackson Believes Supply VIII

Fred S. jackson. attorney for the
public utilities commission, believes
Topeka and the other Kansas cities

ura1 Gas company will have double
the amount of gas this winter that was
available last winter. Jackson has just
returned from the hearing at Min
neapolis where the distributing COM
panies attempted to secure a rate Of
one dollar for natural gas.
From the reports of the receiver I
am confident that we will have twice
as much gas this winter as last win
ter" said Jackson. But even at that
we will not have any gas for heating.
But there should be sufficient gas for
lighting and cooking.
IT do not look for any change in
the rates until after the main gas case
is decided in the United States su-
preme court. lis case will be heard
this month. Ju~ge Booth will decide
the question, of course, but it seems
reasonable to suppose that the rates
will remain as at present until the
original litigation is determined by the
highest court in the land"

watched the operation from start to
finish.
There was only one accident in the
whole thing" General Crowder said,
"and that came on the last number.
The paper slipped out of the capsule
but was found in the bowl and so it
made no difference. but for q moment
we thought we were short one num-

Telephone communication was
maintained with the government

the master list will be distributed i'm
mediately to district draft boards by
which it will be made public.
The officers in charge reached a
speed of eighteen numbers listed every
minute in the closing hours.
The speed made indicates that the
master lists will be ready for mailing
late today. as the government print
ing office kept pace with the capsule
pluckers.

TO FIX HOG PRICES
That Is Information j. H. Mercer
Brings From Washington.


]. H. Mercer, state live stock sani-
tary commissioner, has returned from
a trip to Washington with the news
that the price of hogs is to be stabil-
lied at thirteen times the price of
bushel of corn. The price now is
$3.50 a hundred pounds. The hog
prices are to be kept at the same
basic figures for the period of the
war, altho there will be no money
guaranty
Mercer believes that the food ad-
ministration is making every effort
to settle the feed situation for live
stock and that reasonable prices on
mill products may soon be established
thruout the state. This will include
all wheat by-products and arrange
ments will be made for a better dis
tribution of mills feeds.
Recommendation by the Washing
ton committee include a minimum of
1850 per hundred weight for the
average packers hogs. >. Hogs far
rowed next spring will be protected
by the certain multiple of the corn
price. The food administration can
only regulate the price of hogs so far
as volume of controlled orders for the
fighting forces and export trade is
concerned. The average cost per
bushe1 of corn for regulating the hog
price is based upon farm value of
