GERMAN CHURCH AND SCHOOL
HOUSE BURNED AT HERINGTON
Strong Feeling Against German Ut
CARNATIONS There

Friday night the German Lutheran
church and the German school house
at Harrington were burned TO the
ground. according to word received
IN Abilene today. Both buildings
were found ablaze at the same time
and any attempt to save either was
useless. The total loss will amount
TO about $1,000. it is estimated.
While no direct evidence has been
found, It is the opinion of many that
the buildings were set afire by Her
ington citizens who were indignant
with the heads OF the two organiza-
tions for various things. The Rev
Mr.. Strochein, head Of the Lutheran
church. has been in the courts, both
with members of his own church and
with outsiders. A petition has been
circulated in Herington demanding
that the teaching of German be dis
continued in the German school the
hoard has taken no action and this
aroused more sentiment against the
two organizations.
Authorities are investigating the
fires, but 1t is believed that no action
will be taken in the matter OF plac-
ing the blame on any one.

TWO THIEVES WE'RE NABBED
AT HERINGToN THURSDAY

Early Thursday morning two
Young fellows drove up to Fred Rob-
bofrs gasoline station at Lincoln
Vile and asked for gas. After be-
ing supplied, they paid for the gaso-
line but carried away a big can. MI
Rohloff suspected that any one VINO
would steal a gas can might appro-
pirate a car, so he started in pur-
suit.
Just south Of Herington he passed
them. came on TO town and called
Marshal c. ]. Krieger. The latter
nabbed the young fellows and then
phoned to Topeka asking who had
the car number 2567S. He was IN
formed that the owner was X. V.
Taliaiferio Of Eldorado.
The prisoners claimed that stran-
ger turned the car over TO them just
a mile out of Eldorado and told
them to drive it to Kansas CITY,
which tale is OF course not given
much credence.
Thursday night the sheriff came
over from FL Dorado and took the
men back with him. The owner OF

According to dispatch from
Washington all changes in telephone
rates must be submitted to Postmas-
ter General Burleson for approval
before becoming effective and the
companies are required to charge

general says the new changes are
necessary to conserve labor and ma
terial and to eliminate a cost now
horne by the permanent user of the
telephone.

is 50 a month or less will be so;
where the rate is more than 81 but
not exceeding 81 a month, will be
$40, and where the rate is more
than "a a month, SIS.
The moving charge to the subscri-
Der, the statement says, will be the
actual cost of labor and material
necessary for making the change.
The order for submission of rates
does not affect the notice of the post
master general of taking control
stating that until further notice the
telegraph and telephone companies
shall continue operation in the ordi-
nary course of business through reg
ular channels" 1t merely means
+ it was explained, that approval mus
be given before new rates actually
go into effect.

for installing new telephones OF
changing old ones has been received
by the local office Of the United Tel
ephone company, but they expect the
