FILES A CROSS SUIT
ReichIey Asks $3.50 Damages Against
Greens in Roam Case.

Another step in the litigation con-
corning a lease on the Roam hotel was
taken this morning when A. II. Reich
ley, its former proprietor, filed a cross
petition in the Office of the district
court asking a judgment of $3.50
against NJ. L. Green and Lee Green.
who are now operating a restaurant
adjoining the hotel building.
Some time ago the Greens COM
menced a suit to recover a judgment
of S4,0S7.76 against Reichley on the
ground that he had not fulfilled his
part of an agreement whereby he. was
to suitcase the hotel to them for a
period of two years, commencing Jam
uary 1, 1918. The contract was signed
in December, 1917. The Greens were
then operating a hotel in Noel, Mo-,
but sold it at a sacrifice, they claim.
and moved all their household goods
to Topeka preparatory to taking pos
session of the Roam hotel January l.
They allege that Reichley, however,
refused to give them possession and
that as result they had been dam
aged to the extent mentioned.
In his cross petition, however,
Reichley claims that it was the Greens
who failed to fulfill the contrac ct
charging that they had never deposit
ed the sum of $4,000 in the bank to
guarantee the payment of the rent on
the hotel, as was agreed, and that they
also refused to pay for the coal which
Reichley had on hand, all of which,
Reichley says, was agreed to in the
contract. Later, he says. the Greens
refused to take possession of the
hotel, SO he leased it to other parties
Reichley says the amount of the
rent due him from the Greens under
their contract is $3.50 and that they
also owe him s120 for room rent,
making total of $3.50. for which
he asks judgment together with the
costs of the case

trousers are being pressed. But. If
you dig into him little ways, you
will find he has a big Kansas heart,
that he has sane ideas and knows
enough about the ropes not to hang
himself with them. And, if it interests
you, you probably can discover that
he has something like a hundred
or maybe eleven hundred-acres of
wheat lying under the snow some
where in Kansas, or has marketed
hundred or eleven hundred steers and
could buy more toggery than. all the

Ways of Greeting.
There are many interesting things
about the thousands of visitors To-
peka is entertaining today. But moth
ing, perhaps, is more interesting than
their method of meeting a stranger.
One will appear i'll at ease and will
run at the first opportunity; tho next
one will embrace you. One will tell
you about the oil prospects in his
section, another about crops, another
about the snow and another about
his war hero. One will let you start
a conversation ana Will IlnlSn II TOT
you, or will keep on talking until
you sneak away; another will let you
start the conversation and finish it
and then not even say thank you or
say: I'm glad I met you"
When you shake hands with one
man you will think he is handing
you your wife's dish rag. The next
man will make you think you have
gotten your hand into a rock crusher
and the next will make you think he
is an old frat brother of yours and
that you must have forgotten the grip
he is giving you.
But about this matter of hand shak-
ing 1t seems to be undergoing a
change in Kansas politics. The pro-
fessional 1919 hand-shaker does not
grip your hand like a vice, nor give
you his Imply to treat it as you see
fit He gives you a warm, hearty
shake and then he holds your hand
firmly for perhaps a minute. or an
hour. He may put his other hand on
your shoulder gently, or he may ca
ress your hand that he is holding with
it.
Of course, this new Misunderstanding
style the politicians are bringing out
signifies nothing. The fact that they
were successful at the last election
may cause you to wonder If they made
capital out of it when appealing for
the votes of the women. But this is
none of your business.
And SO it goes.
