Maxine Elliott, the dainty and
masterful feminine star of the modern
stage, and who is playing here today
opposite William Faversham as Lady
Algy in Lord and Lady Algy'' is, to
use a vernacular expression, not
troubled with cold feet. On the other
hand, she insists that her dainty, fash
ionably shod feet be kept cool.
Neither she nor Faversham likes to
play on a steam-heated stage.
Altho the Grand theater was heated
this afternoon in so far as the audi
ence is concerned, and will be tonight,
the steam back of the curtain will be
turned off. Members of the company
explained today that Lady Algy' is
as sensitive about warm toes as she is
about the taste of Lord Algy'' as to
cigarettes.
The Lord and Lady Algy' COM
pany arrived in Topeka today in time
for the matinee performance, and the
managers who were at the Grand
early supervised plans for putting on
the show in the face of the labor
trouble in the Crawford houses.
Faversham today is undecided as
to whether or not he will try another
offense" at moving pictures. He has
not yet seen, he said, the picture which
he just finished before starting his
present tour for JArtcraft-Param amount,
other than to see the different scenes
before they were placed in their story
form.
''It is all right" he declared, "to
work in moving pictures if you have
nice people to work with. But most
ompanieS-well-it reminds you of a
lot of gypsy camps when you are
around the studios. Money is squan-
dered, and there are a lot of things /
don't fancy.
The house was filled this afternoon
and the performance tonight is prac-
tica1ly sold out The evening per-
formance. it is announced, will begin
at O'Clock. Both the stars are
among the foremost on the speaking
American stage. Maxine Elliott is also
screen actress of considerable abil-
ity. Faversham also recently COM
pleted a superfeature picture, 1.-The
Silver King" which will be released to
| the Orpheum in March, G. L. Hooper
manager said today.
Erville Anderson, who plays the part
of the Duke of Dorneborough' in the
Lord and Lady Algy'' cast is a
nephew of Rev S. b. Anderson, pastor
of the Third Presbyterian church in
Topeka. The actors father, W. A
Anderson, is Kansas City attorney.

YOunt Segregation Bill Back
on Caleudar Again.
House Overrules Committee
That Killed Measure.
COMES BEFORE ENTIRE BODY
Big Negro Lobby Will Be
Brought Out in Opposition.
Possibility of Its Passage in the
Lower House Now.

The Kansas house today overruled
the decision of the educational COM
mittee and ordered the negro school
segregation bill placed on the calen-
dar for consideration of the whole
house. There was but scattered op-
position to the motion of Yount of
Cherokee county to override the de-
cision of the house committee, which
mad killed the bill.
BY their action today house mem
bers indicated that there was strong
possibility of the passage of the segre-
cation measure when it is finally con-
sidered under general orders. Various
members of the house spoke in favor
of bringing the bill before the entire
house for consideration. There was
no attempt on the part of the ma
jority of the members to dodge the
issue or to place the responsibility
entirely on the shoulders of the com
mittee.
Strong Negro Lobby.
Under the decision of the house, one
of the strongest negro lobbies before
the legislature in years will be brought
out in opposition to the segregation
house. Its passage in the senate was
blocked by the action of Governor
Capper, who threatened to veto the
measure if it succeeded in passing both
legislative bodies. This year oppo-
sition has already developed and petit
tions signed by the former governor
and a number of leading negroes of
the state have been presented to leg
islative members. Under the influ-
ence of these appeals, the bill was
killed in the house educational COM
mittee. Yount, however, won suffi-
cient support today to easily put his
pet bill on the calendar.
The bill is similar to the one which
passed the house in 1917. 1t extends
to cities of the second class the right
to provide separate schools for negroes
and whites. The privilege now ap-
plies only to cities of the first class.
Provisions of the bill are not compul-
sorry. They merely extend the right

WILL TRY AGAIN
Spartacans Name Thursday To
Seize the Hun Government.
Leaders Go to WilheImshaven
To Get ReinfOrcements.

Copenhagen, Feb. 4.-Spartacans
and government troops are fighting on
the outskirts of Bremen, according to
dispatches received here today. Gov
ernment forces are reported to have
forced their way into the city at sew
eral places.
Zurich, Feb. 4.-The Spartacans will
make another attempt Thursday to
seize the German government, accord
ing to the Vorwaerts.
Their leaders, the newspaper said,
have gone to -Wilhelmshaven, Bruns-
wick and other communist centers to
bring back partisans to reinforce the
Spartacans in Berlin. The government,
cognizant of the plan, has greatly in
creased the guard about the reichstag
building and other public edifices.
The new revolt, it was alleged. will
be headed by Deputy Hoffman. aided
by Karl Radek, the Russian Bolshe-
visit agitator.
The proposed coup is timed with
the opening of the national assembly
in Weimar. Reports have been re-
ce1ved for several days past that the
Spartacans will also attempt to pre-
vent the assembly from convening.
The government is taking every pre-
caution to guard the assembly. Sew
eral batteries of artillery were added
to the garrison there today.

START THEIR BATTLE
Senate Progressives Take Step on
America First Program.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Senate pro-
gressives are about to take the first
step toward realization of the
America first program.
To return to pre-war democracy,
progressives declare it is essential that
ali extraordinary and autocratic meas
ures be wiped off the law books.
The espionage act is their first tar
get.
Senator Borah, Idaho, is to lead the
attack, thru an amendment to the
postoffice appropriation bill, which he
will offer today.
Borah proposes to repeal that por-
ton of the espionage law giving the
postmaster general power to censor
mail in the United States.
Borah's fight is not directed against
Postmaster General Burleson person
ally as so many Republican attacks on
war measures have been. Borah de-
clares no postmaster general should
have in peace times the power this
section of the law gives him.
