GIVEN HIS CHOICE
Young Man Must Face Wedding
March or Court Trial.
He Is Accused of Having
WrOnged BeIOit Girl.
WOMAN LEARNED IDENTITY
Had Four Men Face Girl To
Pick Out Right One.
Unfortunate Girl Is Now in a
Delicate Condition.

Four Topeka men have been herd
ed into the county detention home,
4O9 Harrison street, by Miss Effie
Loder, probation officer from the
Girls Industrial school at Beloit: for
Identification by Ona Wright a IL
year-old girl paroled from the ho21e.
The CIR, is reported to be in a deli
cate condition.
One young man, in particular, is
locked upon as the prospective father
and bridegroom and it is understood
that Miss Loder has given him TWEEN
ty-four hours to make a choice be-
tween >Lchengrin's wedding march
and the Shawnee county district
court, where prosecution would be
held. It is intimated that some other
settlement might be satisfactory to
the girl.
Unusual Method Used.
The method pursued by Miss Loder
in deciding upon father for the I'M
born child is new in Topeka but eff
fective, it seems, and embarrassing
to the men involved. Four young men
were taken before the girl and she
denied any relationship with them.
The fifth was named by her it is
said, and was accused by the girl to
his face.
One after another of the young men
was taken to the detention home IT
was a sheepish, hat fumbling, STUN
bling bunch of men who entered the
home of unfortunate children Mon
day afternoon. Miss Loder was called
to Kansas City but promised to return
to Topeka tomorrow morning to con-
tinue her inveStiga ton.

As soon as the girls condition be-
came known Miss Loder was notified
and came to Topeka Immediately. The

corning the trouble was known by

TAKES OFF men
McAdOO AbOIishes Passenger
and Freight Traffic Agents.
MANY Santa Fe Men Affected by
New Order.

Washington, March 27.-Director
General McAdoO today abolished the
offices of passenger and freight traf-
fic agents on the National railroad.
As forecast this action was taken
to accomplish a great saving in oper
ating expenses.
The status of some, 1900 to 1000
solicitors thruout the country is I'M
determined by the order. Their sal
aries will be continued as the admin
istration seeks to absorb them in 9TH
er branches of work.
The next move to cut expenses, it is
forecast, will be general Capitalization
of the freight and passenger business
offices-expected within sixty days
Attic Director General McAdoo's
abolition of the offices of passenger
and freight traffic agents was not to-
something of a Jolt to the railroad
men affected. The order was evident
| ly known by Union Pacific officials
| to have been on its way. as orders
were received by that road this morn
! ing to discontinue the solicitation of
freight and + assenger traffic.
Official notice of the order has not
yet been received by the-Santa Fe but
| is expected momentarily- 1t is pointed
out here by officials OF that road that
it will affect 100 or more passenger
and freight men working under the
jurisdiction of the Topeka general of
fees. These men affected include,
fire gu and passenger solicit
tors, travelling agents and prob
ably divisional agents to a great
extent. By virtue of the order. the
same condition which was placed into
effect temporarily Immediately after
the placing of the roads under govern
ment control. the traffic machinery of
all roads will be pooled Passenger
and freight men can no longer solicit
freight for the roads by which they
are employed but must take ship
ments subject to the most expedient
and convenient routing. If a man
comes to the Santa Fe with freight
and the Santa F'e agent finds that it
would be most eXpedient to ship over
the Union Pacific the shipper is sent
to the latter road.
The forecasted Capitalization of
freight and passenger business offices
as forecasted may affect Topeka to
some extent in reference to depotS,
railroad men are inclined to believe.
1t is not expected to affect general
offices.
