American flying corps, delivered a
stirring address on the war loan to an
enthusiastic audience at the Theater
Argentina tonight. The meeting was
under the auspices of the Colonial in
stitute, being the first meeting since
the war began in which the doors of
that organization were thrown open
to the public.
Representative La Guardia had just
returned from the French front and
made his return the occasion for ac-
cepting the traditional Roman chal-
lepge' to answer all questions regard
ing the war. His remarks took the
form of an analysis of President Will
sons war message pointing out their
perfect sequence in developing his
original idea of achieving a really per-
manent peace-of conducting a war
against war. His words brought about
an enthusiastic demonstration in favor
of America amidst frantic cries of
Viva Wilson," viva America" The
meeting was presided over by Deputy

mayor of Rome, Prince Prospere~ Co.

MISS WAGNER QUITS
Albaugh's Stcnographer Will Leave @.
S. District Court Office.

In the appointment of Frank L.
Campbell as clerk of the United States
district court to succeed the. late Nor
ton A1baugh. just one change in the
present working force of the office
will be made. Deputy White will
bring his daughter to Topeka to sue
coed Miss Ada Wagner, clerk and
steEographer.
For more than nine years Miss Wag-
ner was Morton Albaugh's- clerk and
private stenographer. She wrote thou
sands of letters for Albaugh and few
stenographers in Topeka displayed
such loyalty and fidelity to an EN-
ploysr as was manifest by Miss Wag-
ner She is a most thoro and capable
stenographer and was held in the
highest esteem by the former court
clerk. There are few young women
in Topeka who are more familiar with
office detail and received a more
thoro training than which Miss Wag-
ner enjoyed during the years of serv-
ice under direction of the widely
known KanSan.

Proclamation by Polish Councils.

London, Feb. 1S.-"Nothing less
than a declaration of war-upon Ger
many and Austria" the nations, which
released Poland from the yoke of
CARBON" is the way the Berlin Lokal
Anzeiger characterizes recently pub
lished proclamation by the Polish
government council, which, like the
Polish ministry. was recently report
ed to have resigned, according to an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Copenhagen
The proclamation which called out
this comment declared the central
powers after having guaranteed the
independence of Poland and promised
the Polish states it's friendship, help
and cooperation. nevertheless re-
fused Poland representation at the
Brest -Litovsk peace conference and
bought peace with the Ukraine by
handing over a province completely
Polish without consulting Poland re-
garding it. The council protests
earnestly against this partition. 1t
requests the people to maintain unity
and to give the council support in its
position. The summary of the proc1a-
nation thus given was telegraphed
the Lokal Anzeiger from Warsaw.

Two Recently Turned Loose

BOTH ARE IN AGAIN NOW
Officers Do Not Resort to Cruel
Third Degree.
Prisoners Simply Advised To
Make Clean Breast.

Sheriff Hugh Larimer in an author
lied statement today bitterly crltlcizeo
Shawnee county jurymen for their
action in releasing prisoners who have
confessed to the commission of crimes.

lowed an attack upon him by the 10
peka police department in Whlch
county officials were accused OF turn
ing Miller kirkpatrick, negro, Tree
after the latter had been arrested for
burglary several weeks ago. kirk
patrick was arrested by the ponce
Sunday night after he had smashed a
window in the Rabe Bros grocery
with the intention of robbing it, the
police say.
kirkpatrick was arrested and con-
fessed to burglariZing stores, said
Larimer. HE was tried by jury IN
the Shawnee county district court ana
his confession was brought to the at
tention of the jury.
Attorneys Worked Old Gag.
His attorney contended the confess
sion was extracted by officers thru a
promise of clemency. He was released
by the jury. We did everything in our
power to convict him and had his con-
fession at hand That old dodge about
the third degree was worked by at
torneys and it proved successful"
Iarfmer called attention to a still
more recent release of a prisoner af-
ter he had confessed to crime. 1t
was the Sam Core case. Core, ne
gro, confessed to stealing hay from S
T. Barnes a Seabrook farmer. and
admitted on the stand he had made
the confession. He declared he had
been promised leniency for confessing
and confessed rather than undergo a
prosecution He denied on the wit
ness stand that he had told the truth
when he confessed.
1T wasn't two hours after this man.
Core, had been turned loose on so
ciety." said Larimer. until a widow
came into our office with a complaint
that he had burglarized her home.
We have him arrested on that charge

PANS MANUFACTURERS
Willingly Pay More for Material But
Frown Upon Wage Increase.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Failure OF
manufacturers to increase WAGES III
keeping with the advance in the cost
of living may be the weakness OF our
Industrial structure" according TO
Roger w. Babson. special agent OF the
employment service of the department
of labor, whose views gained curing
recent trip thru the west are set 1ortn
today in an employment service ouiie-
tiE.
Altho starting his trip with the idea
of educating the workers to the needs
of the present situation Mr.. Bapson
SAYS he returned with the idea that
the manufacturers. especially those IN
some localities, need fully as mucn
missionary work. as do workers.
The labor difficulty at present is
one of improper distribution rather
than of shortage. The complaints or
manufacturers. l found, have arisen
not SO much from their difficulty in
obtaining labor but in their difficulty
in obtairing it at the prices which the
manufacturers desire to pay. My
principal difficulty was in convincing
manufacturers of the increase in the
cost of living to wage earners and in
the reasonableness of advancing
wages.
The manufacturers who are not
complaining about paying advances of
100 per cent or more for materials
which they must use. are strenuously
objecting to paying a fraction OF this
advance in wages.
In many ways manufacturers are
more liberal than wage earners. They
cheerfuily pay heavy taxes, give boun-
tifully to the Red Cross and similar
organizations and willing to work in
Washington for 81 a year and permit
their wives to knit from morning to
night, but there is one thing which
they will not do; give up one-sixteenth'
of so-called inherited rights of the

Ifillsboro, ILL.,, Feb. 18.-Seaton
Emory, city marshal, was wounded,
and two other men were shot and dan
gerously wounded last night when a
party of "loyalists' attempted to en-
ter the home of miner, Clifford Don
nelson, where l.. c. Idwin, labor agi-
tator suspected of 1. w. w. activity
was supposed to be in hiding.
The crowd of "loyalists' started to
the home of Irwin. Emory, the city
marshal, went with them urging the
crowd to preserve order and to avoid
ANYTHING that would disgrace the
town. He reminded the crowd that
he had been marshal for years ana
had succeeded in preserving order.
When the crowd arrived at the
Irwin home, the man they We're seek
ing had gone. Thinking he was IN
the home of Donnelson the crowd
went there AS they appeared about
to force the door, Donneison fired A
bullet struck the city marshal IN the
arm: and another bullet struck Ernesl

1--WE are subject to criticism for not
obtaining convictions. Yet, even after
we arrest men and get confessions
from them, the jurors, our fellow
court officers, turn them loose.
LAS for the practice of brutal third
degree methods, that is bosh and alb
solutely not true. We told those fel-
lows, the same as any other man ar
rested, that the best thing for them to
do was to make a clean breast of it
There is no promise of leniency in
such a statement That's the same
kind of talk you find in the Bible.
That book tells us to make a clean
breast of affairs"
