the meeting this noon with a talk on
the experiences of the I.>H. c. with its
employees. Wright spoke of the vari-
Gus methods which the company has
used in binding close the bond be-
tween labor and capital and conf
IDENTIFY asserted that even the smallest
employer of labor will do we'll to adopt
some of the plans used by the world
wide organization.
The last speaker on the program
today was Ferdinand Funk. He spoke
on Rotary according to the program
but in reality on the necessity of OBJ
servation of the various social forms
if the human life is to be all that it
should be. He pointed to the fact
that man is a gregarious animal, and
asserted that the real Rotarian is one
of the highest exemplars of the mixer
with his kind. Funk's short talk was
admittedly one of the most unique and
best Rotary talks which have been
given at the meetings of the club.

TOPEKAN IN TANK
John Powell, Wounded, Fought
as "Feeler'' in War.
Tells of Raid That Killed 40
Americans and Hurt 20.

The American tanks did not off
cially crawl into action at any time
during the war according to all ad
bers of at least one tank brigade saw
some of the action, the soldiers work
ing in front of the line as reconnais-.
sance men and 'feelers.'
This word was brought back to To-
peka today by John Powell, son of
farmer near Auburn, who was over
seas for more than seven months with
the 331st tank brigade. Powell said
in an interview today that he saw a
fair portion of the last days of the
war a 'feeler of a party sent
out ahead of the advancing troops to
test the German retreat.
AS mementO of his experience
Powell carries one hand in bandage,
the wound being caused, as he says,
when the Huns tried to high explo-
sive my hand off and failed At the
same time as the hand wound was
acquired Powell received a shell splin-
ter IN his knee. He is in Topeka on
thirty-day furlo, at the expiration of
which he will return to an army hos
pital for an operation to regain the
use of the tendons in his fingers.
One story Powell told was of trip
q German aviator made over the tank
camp. 1t was just at mess time, he
said, and the men were lined up in
front of the kitchen awaiting their
turn to be served. The aviator came
over, dropped three bombs, two of
which fell where they would do the
greatest damage. The net result of
this raid, according to Powell, was
that more than forty Americans were
killed and more than seventy were

DON'T WANT CHARITY
Fred VoiIand Tells of Yanks' Wishes
Upon Their Return.

THE boys coming back from over
there look upon you men as the home
service of supply; they respect you and
feel that you have done your share
just as much as if you had carried
musket."
This was the cheering news which
Fred Voiland, Y. NJ c. A. overseas
man and local clothing merchant, gave
to the members of the Topeka Rotary
club at its regular meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon.
Voiland also announced that when the
boys come home the one desire which
will be most evident will be the lack
of any want for charity of any sort.
THE boys don't want your charity"
Voiland told the Rotarians. "All they
wish is a chance to be absorbed back
into the civilian life they left with as
little fuss and Juror as possible. This
much they expect of you-and you
will do your part"
Wright Principal Speaker.
Voiland was an impromptu speaker
and was not included in the regular
program for the meeting. H. G. West
was the first speaker on the regular
program with a short biography
of the life and accomplishments of o.

Farmer Shoots.

Pittsburg, Kan. March 20.-Harry
Newman, of Fresno, Calf, a wand
erer, crawled into the shrubbery of
hedge fence near Arma last night and
went to sleep. Nearby was the home
of Nichalen Lechien. Lechien's dog
discovered the boy and began barking.
Lechien went out and followed the
dog to the boys outdoor bedroom.
Peering into the shrubbery he saw an
object and believed the dog had found
a skunk or weasel. Returning to his
home Lechien obtained a gun. Train
ing his weapon upon a small black and
white object he fired.
The object was part of the clothing
of the boy. Newman was brought to
a hospital here where he died this
morning. Lechien was arrested but
released pending an inquiry. The boy
had walked from Joplin yesterday. He
had IS cents in his pocket. A paper
contained the address of his father, ].

GETS A RECESS
APPOINTMENT
Failure of Congress to Con-
firm United States District
Attorney, Judge Connor
WILL APPOINT WARREN
WILL APPOINT WARREN

Washington Nov. 22.-The extra
session of Congress having adjourned
without confirming or rejecting him,
United States District Attorney Tho
mas d. Warren, will receive from
Judge Henry G. Connor a second re-
cess appointment Monday, when the
Eastern District Federal Court con
venes in Raleigh.
Mr.. Warren can hold office under
the second recess appointment until
the Senate confirms or rejects him.
If he is rejected, President Wilson
will have to send another name to
the Senate. If he is confirmed, the
State executive committee will have
to choose a new chairman and this
is not the least interesting gossip at
the capital right now.
The North Carolina Senators hold
widely divergent views about the pos
sibility of Mr.. Wanren's confirmation
Senator Overman, who is a member
of the subcommittee which heard the
array of charges Clarence Pugh, Re-
publican vice chairman in North Car
olina, brought here against Mr. War
rem, does not believe it is possible
for Mr.. Warren to be confirmed Sen
ator Simmons, to whom the G. o. P.
old guard owes much for the North
Carolina Senator's aid several years
ago in whipping the western insur-
gents into line, holds out hope that
Mr.. Warren may yet be confirmed.

a DEADLOCK
IN COAL
OPERATORS WILL NOT
STAND FOR SECRETA-
RY WILSON'S PROPOSAL
TO INCREASE THE
WAGES OF THE MINERS
TO WHAT THEY SAY
WOULD BE A PRACTI-
CAL AGREEMENT TO ALL
THEIR DEMANDS

Washington, Nov. 22.-The opera
tons declare that the offer of Secre-
tary Wilson and the President has
widened the breach more than ever
between the operators and miners. 1t
is understood that the offer of $27. IL
for coal diggers and $50 per day
for day laborers was absolutely uu-
satisfactory to the owners of mines.
This statement by the operators was
made before the meeting of~the scale
committee in the conference with the
miners this afternoon.
Mr.. Brewster sal tina: the oHer
of a wage increase by Mn. Wilson
meant an advance of 27 cents per ton
for the diggers and $50 per day
for day laborers, which was wholly
unsatisfactory to the operators. The
operators said that this would mean
an increase of 40 per cent fop the
miners or the same amount that the
miners had been standing for all the
time. There was a decided opinion
that the proposal of Mr.. Wilson will
not be accepted by the operators.
There are only a few more words
to say" said Mn. Brewster, ''and they
will be said very soon"
Secretary of Labor Wilson stepped
to the front again last night in an
effort to bring miners and operators
together after a proposal by each
side had been rejected and the slate
wiped clean.

Hitchcock, the leader of the admin

to make a political issue of the treaty
question, they would not object to it
if it was the wishes of the Republi-
cans and did not fear the result.

under arrest for the theft of trunk
from the lobby of the Marlborough
hotel in this city early Friday morn
