DENY DAVIS WRIT
Court Refuses Compel Greater
Interest Than Contract Rate.
ISLANDER" Allegation Privileged
on Witness Stand.
KILLS WOMAN'S PREROGATIVE
Widow Can't Change Mind, the
Tribunal Holds.
Legislative English Too Com
pIicated for Justices.

The state supreme court today re-
fused TO issue a writ of mandamus
against Walter E. Wilson. state bank
commissioner, compelling the pay
ment of an interest rate from the-bank
guaranty fund greater than the con-
tract rate of certificates of deposit in
the defunct Kansas State bank of Sa-
lima w. f. Davis. former state audi
tor, who held certificate of deposit
sought to compel payment of per
cent interest after maturity of the GER
tificate which bore 4 per cent during
the term of contra ct.
In passing on the case the court not
only held that Davis was not entitled
to a writ, but made clear that uues-
tions of validity concerning certifi-
Gates will not be settled by the court
in mandamus actions. The broad
statement affects holders of certifi-
Gates in the amount of more than
100000, and may involve issues re-
garding the major portion of claims
against the bank
In the opinion by Justice Mason the
court says in part:
I'VE do not wish to be understood
as now deciding, however, that in case
an issue of fact should be raised as to
the validity of the certificate of depos-
it held by the plaintiff that the set
tlement of that question would be I'M
dertaken in proceeding in man
damus." Attorneys familiar with de-
tails of the Salina bank litigation to-
day expressed grave doubts as to the
ability of holders of/certificates of de-
post to clear their claims except thru
independent actions in the lower
courts. A broad Interpretation of the
Davis decree might bar the presenta-
ton of issues of validity thru man
damus.
The court held in the Davis case
that the per cent interest rate
Iaf cd h. h 4 1faf nd
contractual. In such event it would
doubtless be necessary for the holder
of 1 per cent certificate to look to
the assets of the bank for greater in
terest return.
SANDER Statement Privileged.
Suit for SANDER cannot be MAIN
tanned. the supreme court held today,
when the alleged slanderous statement
is made by person in the course of
his testimony as witness in a court Of
record.
Sol We'll brought an action in the
DOniphan county district court against
John II. Lynds for SANDER. Evidence
showed that in the trial Of a case in
ting Doniphan county district court
Lynds had been summoned as a wit
ness. During his testimony he said in
part: He embezzIed $1,000, or more,
from me IN the LaCygne transaction
alone" The statement referred to
Wen. An actlOn was brouFhl Dy wen
to collect damages from Lynds in
civil suit for SANDER. A demurrer to
the plaintiffs evidence was sustained.
and Well appealed to the supreme
court. The supreme court held today
that the statement by Lynds was made
in relation to emhezzlement- and was
pertinent to the issue on trial, and
therefore absolutely privileged.

MANY CHRISTIANS
FLEEING MOSLEMS
Fear of Further Massacres
Causing Members to Aban-
don Homes

Diarbel<ir, Turkey. Dec. 20.--Fear
of the further massacres is causing
numbers of Christians in this region
to abandon their homes and seek
safety in the territory occupied by
the British, whose nearest post is ut
Ourfa.
For days there has been a steady
procession of carriages, containing
families with all their possessions.
on the road to the southward. Many
of them are headed for Aleppo,
which means a hot, dusty journey of
several hundred miles across the
plain.
The Immediate cause of this ex-
odus of Christians is the attitude of
their Moslem neighbors, coupled
with the notorious reputation that
Diarbekir won for itself in the mas
sacres and deportations a few years
ago, but back of it is a feeling of
restlessness because of the fact that
months have passed since the armis-
tice and as yet nothing has been
done to guarantee the security OF
the non-Moslem population.
Take No Heed of Promises
The Near East relief, the Amer
lean organization which is distribut-
ing aid to the survivors of the mas
sacres through a station in Diarbe-
kir, has succeeded in obtaining as
surance from the authorities that
the Christians will not be molested
by the government, and that they
may resume their occupations. This
assurance, however, applies only to
the authorities, and means that the
Christians are only to consider that
if disorders begin. they will not, at
least, be at the open instigation of
the government. 1t does not en-
tirely promise protection, and there
fore the Christians, afraid that the
Moslems may turn against them at
any moment, are electing to seek
safety in flight.
The situation is having it's effect
on the work of the relief organ
iZation in recovering the Christian
girls who were carried off, during
the deportations, to Moslem harems.
This work has been going on for
weeks, the relief workers being un-
dismayed by the thought of per-
sonal peril. Now, however, the
Moslems are threatening the girls
with death if they permit them
selves to be rescued. and many of
them are afraid to leave their mas
ters.
Large numbers of these girls re-
main to be recovered. In the early
months of 1915 about $4,000 Chris
tions were exiled from Diarbekir,
and from their ranks were taken
hundreds of tn e prettiest young
women. Even some of those who
escaped, and remained hidden in
the vicinity throughout the depor-
tations, later sold themselves to the
Turks. confronted as they were with
the alternative of doing this or of
starving to death. The condition
of these Christian girls is one of the
most tragic problems that confront
the relief workers who state that
many of the girls. in their shame,
have killed the children of their
Moslem fathers.

Faking of German
Soldiers in Berlin
Is Trailed by Police

Berlin. Dec. 20.-All the organi-
cations for alleviating the lot of the
war wounded have Joined with the
Ministry of Labor to put an end fl
naIly to the begging by the pre-
tended wounded soldiers who clutter
the principal streets of Berlin. On
all sides one sees men whose arms
have been severed" (by strapping
them to their bodies), or who feign
to be suffering from shellshock and
shake pitifully, after learning in a
Berlin school the approved methods
of shaking. Investigation has shown
that these people collect up to 800
marks daily from their taking.
The government has been carry
ing on Investigations for weeks in
Berlin. Essen, Hamburg and other
large cities, and has established the
fact that hardly 5 per cent of the
wounded" soldiers who are begging
are genuine. One shaker was
trailed to a saloon where he ceased
shaking and drank cognac literally
while he counted up over 800 marks,
his days receipts. Another "one-
armed" man collected eighty marks
in two hours in Tauentzien street.
and then was seen to slip round n
corner and unbind his missing arm
which was belted to his body. In
Hamburg, of eighteen men arrested
only one proved to have been
wounded in the war.

Local ice dealers are all set to cut

natural ice which will result from
the propaganda being directed
against it as unhealthful. The
natural ice forming in that region
will not be cut because many com
panies have let their ice houses fall
to pieces and have directed their
energies in the manufacture of artiti-
cial ice.
This will not happen in Harris
burg, according to Mr.. DeWalt, as
the companies have kept their ice
houses in good repair and are all pre-
pared to take care of their capacity
