SHE GAVE NO SYMPATHY
w. J. Davidson Says Wife Was Indif-
fercnt to His Suffering.

Lack of sympathy for him while he
was suffering pain, together with re-
lations with another man, negligence
in duties and swearing at him are rea-
sons assigned by William J. Davidson
for. asking a divorce from Hattie NJ.
Davidson. Davidson claims that his
wife left their home on February 6,
1919, going to Clay Center with an
other man and then going to Leaven-
worth
While she was at Leavenworth he
was injured and friends went to Leav-
enworth to get her to come to his
bedside. Davidson claims. She re-
turned to Topeka and stayed at home
half of the night and then left, he
stated in the petition. During her
short visit she failed to sympathize
with him in any way, he claims. He
also charges her with using too little
elbow grease on the pots and pans and
with swearing at him.
Davidson asks for a divorce and for
complete title to lots he owns in To-
peka and Burlingame. The petition
was filed today in the office of the
clerk of the district court.

Get BACK z CARS
Stolen Automobiles Recovered
Thru State Officials.
Engine Number Must Be Regis
tered After July 1.

Two stolen automobiles were recov-
cred today by the state automobile de-
partment in the office of L. j. Petit
john, secretary of state. Both cars
are being restored to their owners al a
result of a checking of engine and Ii
cense number records in possession of
Bert Cornell, head of the motor car
department.
One car 1916 Buick. belongs to r.
H. Pyle of Emporia. 1t was found by
George West, of Eskridge, who saw
three men abandon the machine in
country road. The gasoline supply
was exhausted and the men left the
machine near the foot of hill. West
notified the state department and Cor
nell today advised Pyle his car had
been recovered.
Found Car in Street.
Mayor Mcpherson, of Sylvia, found
a stranded Henry IN the streets of his
home town. He sent word to the mo-
tor department. giving engine and Ii
cense numbers. 1t was found that the
fIivver had been stolen from DIR. B.
Anderson, of Victoria, and the tag
had been taken from a car belonging
to George DeitZ of Russell Both the
car and the tag are being returned to
owners. In none of the cases have the
auto thieves been arrested.
Value of the engine number was
shown in tracing the ownership of the
Ford car" said Cornell. After July
l all engine numbers must be regis
tered. If numbers have been removed
the department will provide special
numbers. This method will aid great
ly in tracing stolen cars"

MIXUP OVER A cow
Farmer Sues Insurance Company He
Claims Injured His Reputation.

John F. Buchanan, a farmer, today
filed suit for $3.50 against the Iowa
state Livestock Insurance company for
loss of reputation as a result of an
alleged false arrest by county officers.
Buchanan claims that he took out in
surance with the company on a 500
cow and later sold the COW to J. H.
Clayborn. A title note was drawn up
in which Buchanan claims he con-
tinued to be owner of the animal until
the note was paid. The COW died, and
Buchanan collected $50 insurance
He asserts that he informed the
company of the transa ction at the
time of the animals death. Later. he
claims agents of the company threat
ened him with arrest unless he would
turn back the $56 claiming it was
obtained under false pretenses. Blu
chanan refused to return the money
and finally a warrant was issued and
he was brought before the court of
Topeka. While never in Jail. he
claims he suffered much humiliation
and loss Of reputation as a result of
being brought before the court on
such a charge. Fi9ally the prosecu-
ton was dropped at the request OF
the company, Buchanan claims.

ocean tonnage which they assume
would, soon follow the elimination of
the German mercantile fleet.
Due consideration is naturally given
the fact that the declaration that Ger
many would refuse to sign the peace
unless the conditions were greatly
modified in her favor may possibly
have been put out just now with the
object of influencing the negotiations
and that it is not necessarily conclu-
siYe.
Refusal Is Possible.
Experts attached to the inter-allied
conference who have just returned
from Germany. where they endeav-
ored to obtain material for definite
verdict on this subject believe, how
ever. that refusal by the present gov
eminent to sign is not impossible.
They expect that in this case the eX-
listing government would fall imme-
diately and be succeeded by an indie
pendent Socialist government, which
would sign any treaty presented with
out, however, any intention of binding
itself by its signature or of observing
the conditions if the opportunity arose
to disregard them. Notwithstanding
the decision that no oral negotiations
should be permitted, it is expected
here that verbal discussions of some
phases of the treaty may take place
and rooms at the Trianon Palace no.

possible session of the inter-allied and

1t will be not merely patriotism but
a purely business proposition this year
that will induce Kansas business men
to release temporarily as many en-
ployes as possible to go to the harvest
fields, in the opinion of ]. Will Kelley,
of the federal employment bureau
here. And in addition, Kansas is GO
ing to need between 1000 and &c.,
600 outside hands to help harvest her
1877. 427,000 bushel wheat crop, it is
estimated. This is 60 per cent more
help than was required last year.
Last year Topeka musiness men re-
leased hundreds of employees to attend
the harvest 1t was a patriotic duty.
This year. while the employer can
hardly be appealed to on the ground
of actual patriotism, it is going to be
to his interest to see to it as far as
possible that the Kansas wheat crop
is saved. and if any employees can be
temporarily released during the har-
vest season it will prove a good in
vestment. 1t means S400,00O,006 to
the state to save the crop, computed

left home they expected to hear rather
more moderate proposals rgarding the

The delegates also question the pos
