Washington. July 26.-Making a
general denial of charges against his
administration before the senate bank
ing committee. today. John Shelton
williams. comptroller of the currency.
characterized Frank ]. Hogan, attor-
ney for the Riggs National bank, who
opposed Williams confirmation, as a
rapid fire falsifier.' whose purpose
seems to be to swamp the record
with a mass of untruths." Chairman
Mclean assured Williams he would
have full opportunity to answer the
charges II il took all summer.
Williams accused Hogan OF having
omitted from a letter read TO the
committee a charge by the comptroi-
Ter that the bank was carrying on a
stock brokerage business in which
women treasury employees and others
had lost money. He asserted that a
bank examiners report had shown
that nearly every officer. and en-
ploye was using funds in stock specu-
lation."
Can you imagine such a condition
existing in a national bank?" asked
Williams. Wasn't it time to raise
the red flag and stop the practice?"

TO GO AFTER H. C. OF L.
President NatiOpal Consumers League
Urges Government Action.


Washington. July ga demand
that the government take real action
to bring down prices of necessities was
voiced today by Jessie r. Haver, cap
itai representative of the National
Consumers league. Secretary Baker is
president OF the league. 1t represents
100000 consumers, according TO
Miss Haver.
Prices have been boosted since the

Food at the signing of the armistice

One month later it went UP four

CAN'T COLLECT DEBT
Government Protects Wheat Crop OF
Indian Woman.

Government Protects Wheat Crop OF
Indian Woman.
1t would appear that the creditors of
Mrs Mary Deroin, an Indian of the
Iowa tribe living in Brown county, are
going to have an interesting time COL
lecting their money. Last February
s. L. and Frank d. Ryan were given a
judgment of SLOPE against the IIdian
woman in the district court of Brown
county, and caused the sheriff to levy
upon and attach the wheat crop on her
155-acre farm.
Today the government. on the re-
lation of A. r. Snyder. Indian agent,
filed suit in the federal court here
against the Ryans and Sam Miller,
sheriff of Brown county, alleging that
the revenue, rents and crops on the
woman's farm are not subject to the
payment OF any debts. The land was
allotted to her husband in March,
1894, IL is alleged. with the under
standing that the patent was to be
given her in IS years, the land in the
meantime remaining in possession of
the government When the 25 years
expired. President Wilson extended
the period for another ten years. So
long as the patent to the land remains
in federal possession, the debtors will
have to wait for their money. A re-
straining order is asked to entoin the
defendants from leyying on the crops
or property.

Soldier Celebration. q
92nd Division Men VIII Be
Welcomed Next Week.

Anticipating the arrival of the negro
troops of the s2nd division on next
Tuesday afternoon. Mayor Corwine to-
day made a request to Topeka en-
pIoyers using negro help that they
release these employees for the celebra-
tion to be held that afternoon.

ute of suspending business during the

ness houses in Topeka"
1t is believed that there will be no
intent of any employers to deprive
their negro help of the privilege OF
taking part in the celebration OF the
homecoming OF the negro division.
There are a number of Topeka men
in the division and many Topeka ne
groes have friends. II not relatives.
