While Mack Sennetts beauties in
bathing suits in October on Kansas
avenue may never stir the blood Of
Topekans again since Hugh Iarimer
sheriff. ordered the cessation of fur
ther exhibits after he had looked the
girls over, a memory of the day when
so much beauty was exposed may be
retained by clipping out this picture.
The photo was taken in front of The
State Journal office Tuesday at noon
after the girls made flying trip up
and down Kansas avenue in autos
manned by Ed Kellam and. A. D.
Birch.
The girls are out on the streets
again today. But they are dressed
warmer if not more attractively. Some
have colds as a result of exposure but
all are willing to do it again If the
sheriff lifts his ban on the display of
bare legs on Kansas avenue.
Envious glances from members Of
the fair sex were directed at the neat
trim legs and healthy bodies of the
girls. All this costs the girls much
exercise and constant work. Every
day the manager demands sitting up
exercises similar to those practiced in
the army. Boxing matches and other
exercises also are included in the daily
routine. So if Topeka women want to
acquire forms like the Mack Sennett
girls. they'll have to get a few point

Charges Sherman's and Wat

nesses Against Packers.
Watson Says All He Asks Is
Chance To Prove Charges.

Washington Oct.~22.-The Federal
Trade Commission. in formal state
ment today, asserted that the charges
made against the commission by SEN
ator Watson, Republican. Indiana, and
Senator Sherman, Republican, Illinois,
were part and parcel of the warfare
of the Chicago meat packers against
the department of justice and the
federal trade commission with the
purpose of subverting justice.
The Commission said the good faith
of Senator Watson's charges was open
to question when it was remembered
that the senator was lobbyist in
1909, and it charged that the sena-
tors relations with the Chicago
packers were shown by certain COR
respondence which the commission
had taken from the files Of wilson
and company"
Trafied by Detectives.
Declaring that the commission and
it's employees had long been subject to
an attack that the public has never
Eknown>rabout," the commissions state
ment said that while it was inyestigat-
ing the meat packers, the govern
ment's representatives were trailed by
detectives and that the commissions
offices were entered "surreptitiously.' y
Reciting that some of the commits
sion's agents had been summoned as
witnesses in the case against the pack
ers which the Department of Justice
soon is to present to a federal grand
jury at Chicago, the commission asked
if it was a coincidence that these men
were the men assailed in Senator Wat
sons charge that the commission was
a hotbed of Bolshevism, sedition and
anarchy.
-
Senators Watson and Sherman had
been made in detail, the commission
declared it challenges the proof, and
with the proof their source and the
means by which they were S0-T~-
lated"
Wants Chance to Prove.
Senator Watson told the senate to-
day that charges of socialistic; activity
which he made Monday against en-
ployes of the federal trade commits
sion were based on Information fur
nfshed him from inside the commits
sion itself" He denied that any of
the information came from represen-
tatives of the meat packers.
"AlI 1 want is an opportunity to

he declared.
Senator Watson's statement fol-
lowed demands of Senator Harris.
Democrat, Georgia., a former member
of the commission and Senator Ken
yon, Republican, Iowa, that Senator
Watson's resolution proposing an in

fore the senate auditing committee.
Senator Watson said that before max
ink his charges he spent considerable
time investigating them and had
every reason to believe the charges
are true" He added that he also was
investigating the activities of social
lists in other government departments
and expected to make known the re-

Practically all the difficult stunts

NO SUGAR RELIEF
Senate Committee Fails So Far
in Price Agreement.
Plantation Owners Say Price
of Necessity Must Be Doubled.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Efforts of the
senate agricultural committee to eff
feet a fair price agreement between
sugar producers and the United States
sugar equalization board have thus far
failed, Senator RansdelI, Louisville, a
member of the committee,t admitted
today.
Plantation owners in Louisiana told
the committee that because of eXces-
sive rains less than a so per cent crop
would be raised this year and that
owing to the increased cost of pro-.
duction the price Of sugar would have
to be doubled if the producers were to
break even.
Both producers and refiners op-
posed the McNary bill which would
renew the license of the sugar equali-
cation board and regulate the price of
sugar.
When asked to what they attributed
the high price of sugar, members of
the Louisiana sugar and rice exchange
declared that "the president was di-
rectly responsible" and that ''he made
a mistake when he refused to permit
the sugar board to buy the Cuban
crop"
Want No Interference.
c. A. SpreckeIs predicted that if the
McNary bill was passed the people
would have to pay from $4,000, 600
to s6O.OOO.OOO more for their sugar
this year.
Brokers of New York control the
sugar of the United States, Spreckels
said, but assured the committee that
