CALL IT "GIT-FIDDLE"
Topeka Circcs Use UkuIcIc To Lure
Men to Porchcs.

The modern Circe is not true
believer in the seductive and alluring
power of the human voice raised in
song. Nor is she a believer in the
of fase~repartee. Not
quite. She places her reliance in the
'git-fiddle" and on warm moonlit eve
nings the throbbing, drumming wall
of the lure is heard from thousands
of Topeka porches. The "git-fiddle"
is technically known in the music
stores of the city as a ukulele, but
Topeka Circes make the claim that
"git-fiddle" is more appropriate. The
reason therefore is that the thrum-
ming throb OF the instrument will ar
rest almost any pedestrian in midstep
and cause him to sigh for the soft
word and the luxuriant woman seated
in a porch swing. In other words, the
sound of the fiddle gets EN-" yes,

COblenz, Sunday, July 6.-Robert
Minor the American newspaper cor
respondent and cartoonist. who has
been under detention here by army
authorities pending an investigation
has been released, it was learned to-
day. No formal announcement was
made but officers said the case had
been dropped on orders from higher
authority.
1t is understood Minor will be re-
turned to Paris, where he was ar
rested a month ago by the French at
the request of the British. The latter
refuse to prosecute him, turning
over certain alleged evidence to the
American authorities. 1t is said this
was in connection with an alleged
conspiracy to spread radical propa-
ganda among soldiers within the Brit
ish and American areas
The investigation which has been
made by the Americans has carried
them thru various parts of France
and Germany and even Russia where
Minor spent nine months before going
to Dusseldorf early this spring.

HOLD BOW-LEGGED BOY
Negro Youths Limbs So Badly
Bent He Cannot Walk.

A three year old colored boy so bow
legged he cannot walk. is a ward of
the city of Topeka today and is housed
at the detention home here under the
care of Mrs. Sarah Malone, the
matron.
1t seems that the boy was taken to
the depot Saturday by a colored man
claiming to be the boys father This
man, who appeared to be about 20
years old, bought the boy a half-fare
ticket to st. Louis and placed him on
the train addressed to Mrs. Emma

the train reached Kansas City the con-
ductor noticed the boys condition and
refused to deliver him. Therefore the
boy was sent back to Topeka and is
again in the detention home, a ward of
the city pending the coming of the
father who is expected to claim him
once more.

Not Yet Determined.

Washington, July President
Wilson will address the senate on the
peace treaty and the league of nations
at 1915 p. m. Thursday, it was an
nounced today at the White House.
Because a treaty would be under
discussion, some doubt had been ex-
pressed as to whether the senate
would be in open session, but it was
understood that Mr. Wilson desired
that the session be open. There had
been some talk of him addressing a
joint session of the house and senate
but this will not be done. The senate
and not the house has power to ratify
the treaty.
Date of Tour Doubtful.
1t has not yet been definitely deter
mined when the president will start
his trip around the country to speak
of nations. There are indications,
h yo yer. that he probably will not
leave before the middle of next week.
He was invited by wireless to deliver
his first address to the Methodist CEN
tenary in Columbus, O., but he re-
piled that he felt it was impossible for
him to leave Washington before the
centenary ended next Sunday.
Numerous Invitations have been eX-
sections of the country. but none has
been accepted. 1t was explained that
the itinerary had not been finally de-
termined upon

BUILD z HOMES
That Will Be Necessary Under
Ruling of Court.
Poor Cannot Be Placed in
Municipal Institution.
COMMISSIONERS STOP WORK
VIII Invite Clubs To Meet With
Them at Once.
Hope To Work Out Plan That
VIII Be Feasible.
COMMISSIONERS STOP WORK

Shawnee county commissioners will
invite the Rotary club and Shawnee
County Medical Society to confer with
them in a short time for the purpose
of obtaining information from those
bodies relative to a site for the county
municipal home, according to Hugh
Fisher. county attorney. At that time
it is hoped lots will be located that
will permit the erection of a respecta-
BILE building minus the price necessary
for lots near the city.
Meantime, work on the county home
has stopped temporarily. at least. Such
was the statement today by A. A. Rod
gers, chairman of the board of COM
missioners. Immediately upon hear
ing ofthe supreme courts adverse de-
cision. Rodgers ordered that all work
stop. Excepting to announce that the
erection OF the building at the poor
farm had ceased. Rodgers would say
nothing for publication. Neither would
any of the other commissioners.
I'VE will assure the people of Shaw
nee county that despite the adverse
opinion. we win build a home to~pro-
tect the county's poor from fire and
tinuing the building will be worked
out in few days.
Can't Move County's Poor.
Under the supreme courts decision
it is impossible for us to move the
county poor into the proposed muni-
ctpal home near Topeka which the
Rotary club and medical society have
insisted upon. The supreme court has
held the municipal home and county
poor farm are two separate and dis
unct propositions and cannot be
merged into each other.
The necessity of proper fire and
sanitary protection for the county s
poor helped put over the $4,000 bond
issue. That necessity we realize and
we are under obligation to build a safe
home for them. 1t means two sepa-
rate institutions must be erected"
Work Ont Plans First
Until the county is absolutely Ger
tain as to the procedure necessary
for erecting a home for the poor on
the present location. there will be no
effort to continue the work. Fisher
today was studying the poor farm act
In the Kansas statutes preparatory to
advising county commissioners as to
the procedure necessary in continuing
with the building of a county poor
farm.
That the tie-up occasioned by Rob
ert Stone and other Topekans will
double expenses to the people of
Shawnee county is almost a certainty,
county officers stated today.

SPEECH NEARLY READY
Wilson's Address to Congress Carries
Economic Message?

Aboa-d L. S. S. George Washington,
Sunday. July 6.-President Wilson's
message to congress was practically
completed today. Primarily. it is ex
pected to be a -eport to congress on
what has bee-l done in Paris, together
with a broad analysis of the world
situation following the conclusion of
peace.
The president probably will explain
the guarantees of permanent peace,
which have been exacted as well as
the manner in which the continued
blockade assures Germany's observ-
ance of the terms imposed at YER
sailles.
1t is also believed the message will
outline economic factors necessary for
American business men to consider.
The president is not expected to at
tempt detailed explanations, leaving
those for the departmental repre-
sentatives of the peace commission.
Observing his usual custom. the
president has written the message on
his own Typewriter.
Hit Heat Wave Off Coast.
The presidential fleet, which is
steaming toward New York harbor,
today encountered the first breath of
the heat wave which has prevailed
along the Atlantic coast. It was ac-
companied by humidity and consider

pace to twelve knots an hour
President Wilson rested a good part
of today but spent some time On the

TIBERAS COMING BACK
Race Horse That Caused Death ut

Tiberas, the big black horse, that
caused the accident at the Kansas
Free fair races last year, in which
Charles Terbush was thrown to death
and Dane Case was injured will be on
the track here again during the week
Of September s-13, the dates Of the

stepped into his hobbies on the turn
into the home stretch in the first heat
of one of the pacing races last year
He fell, and five other horses COM
pleted the pile up which caused the
death of one driver and the serious
injury of another. Then Tiberas went
out and won the race.
There are dozens of other horses of
the same kind of courage already en-
tered in the races for the Free Fair
this year. The time made is expected
to be exceptional as it is thought the
weather this spring and summer will

as saying:
I'VE have given our hospitality and

today the government would be
bombarded with questions in the
house of commons this afternoon with
regard to the trial of the ex-emperor.
Reports from French and American
sources, indicating that Premier Lloyd
Georges announcement was a COM
plete surprise have stirred up both
parliament and public.
In the meantime, warm contro-
versy was developing over the expe-
diency of the trial. Sir Henry DaIziel
announced today he would ask
whether communications had passed
vet between Holland and the allies
with regard to extradition. If they
had, he said, he wanted to know the
results.
Holland is Silent.

not believe such a demand is to be ex-
pected. for in their view it would not
be legal.
1t is not expected here extradition
will be granted. as Dutch treaties and
the Dutch law forbid such action, and
the government has stated frequently
that it will act according to law and
