R. C. AUCTION TONIGHT
Motor Truck Loaded With Bargains
to "Make'' Kansas Avenue,

Tonight the street corners on KAN
sas avenue are to resound to the per-
sistent cry of the auctioneers of the
Junior Red Cross. Mounted on Il
motor truck filled with the donations
to the Red Cross the articles are going
to follow the crowd and the Red Cross
authorities are sure that the persistent
effort of the auctioneers on this last
night of the Junior Red Cross auction
will wipe out the stain of the "ba rgain
hunter sale which marked the state
house grounds attempt.
The articles which will be sold from
the truck tonight on Kansas avenue
include some of the choicest of the
articles donated for the other sale
On the whole the articles for sale to-
night are of the high class variety
and on account of the parsimonious
attitude of the crowd at the sale a
week ago they were not even offered
at that time.
Speaking of the auction tonight w.
A Biby said: I'VE tried twice to have
the patriotic crowd come to US and
failed. This time we are going to the
crowd and we are going to follow
them up and down the streets until
they offer a fair price for the articles
on the block"

Make Huge Army.
100000 Before End of Year
Maybe 100000.

Washington, May 11.-More than
10000 men have been called in the
draft so far and are in France. in
camp or under call to go into service
before June l.
The total of 100000 includes all
men summoned in the May contingent.
There is every indication that even
larger increment will be summoned
in June than was summoned in May,
and a progressive monthly mobiliza-

fall months as the environments are
expanded.
1t is expected that at such a rate
the army will reach a full strength of
well over 100000 within the next

At another time, she says, he

AID WAS REFUSED
Perry Doctor Wouldn't Attend
Injured Boy, Charged.
Farmer Refused To Lend Hand,
Companion Says.

An automobile accident. a boy with
his scalp peeled almost from his head
and a cut under the chin almost to
the jugular and squirting blood. a
farmer refusing to believe the story of
the accident and slamming the door
to refuse aid to the injured, and then
a doctor refusing to leave his soft bed
to aid the bleeding man. is the story
told by C. c. Davis, a Manhattan
garage man. of an accident early this
morning near Perry. Kan.
1t seems that Davis, according to
his own story. and three companions
were enroute from Kansas City to
Manhattan in a Peerless limousine. A
young fellow named Carl Richards,
was lying on the back seat of the
limousine with his head resting
against the window. About four miles
east of Perry the car, which was not
going more than twenty miles an hour
at the time. according to Davis. hit a
chuck hole in the road and drove
Richards's head thru the glass window
pane, tearing the scalp from the back
of his head and cutting him about the
throat so badly that even the ceiling
Of the car was splotched with blood.
Could Not Get Aid.
Davis said that the boys with him
did all they could for Richards and
lney fuSneO TO the nearest Town, HeT-
ry, to get first aid. On the outskirts
of Perry the boys stopped the car and
pleaded with some householder to
take the injured lad in while medical
aid was summoned. The householder
was apparently frightened at the
bloodsoaked condition of the boys and
slammed the door in their faces, by
the act refusing any aid or succor.
Then the boys tried three times to
get the only doctor in Perry to attend
the injured lad. THAT doctor refused
to get up and help us three times
when we called him on the phone
declared Davis this morning Then
we went out to his house and tried to
explain that Richards was hurt badly
and was bleeding something awful. He
told US to go on away as he wanted
to sleep and did not want to be dis
TURNED any more.
Davis said that the doctors name Is
Zimmerman.
Topeka Doctor Called.
Finally Davis and his companions
asked the central operator at Perry
if she could get a doctor from Topeka.
She said she could and called DR.. A.
B. Jeffrey who Immediately got up
from his bed and answered the call
He drove to Perry and started to
bring the injured Richards boy to the
hospital in Topeka. On arrival here
Richards was feeling SO much better
office instead, where twenty stitches or
more were taken in his scalp and
throat. Doctor Jeffrey said today that
the Richards boy was in no danger.
The State Journal was unable to get
in touch with Doctor Zimmerman al
Perry before going to press and so is
unable to print his side of the story.

RAILROAD MEN KICK
Employees Make First Formal
Protest Against New Wages.

Washington, May 1.-THE first for
nal protest against the recommended
tons of the railroad wage commission
was filed today with Director General
McAdoo by the Brotherhood of Rail-
read Station Employees
1T will be absolutely impossible for
the railroads to maintain a permanent
force of freight handlers at the rates
indicated in the recommendation,
the protest said, lin view of the fact
that they have not recommended the
basic eight hour day.
The statement said that freight
handlers would receive an increase of
only IL cents a day, making their
wages for ten hours SIT, while yard
brakemen in the same territory would
be advanced from $3.50 to SAT- for
eight hours.

RUSSIA IS STIRRED
Becoming More Apparent That Kaiser
Wants to Dominate

London, May 11.-Russia has been
faced suddenly with events that may
again change the political outlook, the
Petrograd correspondent of the Daily
Express, telegraphs. Germany, he says,
has apparently found that economic
domination over Russian territory is in
sufficient and is seeking military oc-
cupation.
An extra session of the Bolsheviix
council has been held in Petrograd to
discuss the situation created by the
ultimatum recently delivered by the
German mbasSador, Count Won Mir
bach, which embodied demands of a
character apparently calculated to
turn Russia virtually into a German
colony. Premier Lenine's speech at
this meeting was extremely pessimis-
tic, the correspondent reports
