IN SOLDIER CIRCUS
Rota Club Will Use Proceeds To
Entertain Heroes.
Uniform VIII Admit Service
Men Free Second Night.

It's really a circus for the soldiers.
This one statement should be suffi-
cient to make Topekans turn out in
large numbers to attend the big Rota
club community circus that will be
held at the auditorium on the evenings
of April % and %, but, aside from
this, it is asserted that the show will
be such an unusual attraction that no
one can afford to miss it,
The members of the Rota club did
great work during the war, provid
ing Sunday dinners for the soldiers
who were in Topeka, arranging street
dances and other entertainments and
now they want to be in a position to
do more than they ever have done
when the boys return from overseas.
The money raised at the exhibitions of
the community circus will be used for
this purpose
1t is hoped that enough money will
be taken in to make it possible to give
big fried chicken dinner to every
soldier who comes back. but if this is
used in some other form of entertain
so..ders would be back to attend the
performances, but hope that the boys
of the 35th division will arrive in time
has about been given up. However,
on the night of the second perform
ance every soldier in a uniform will be
admitted free. A special section of
the auditorium will be reserved and
the uniform will be the badge of adj
mission

HEARING FRIDAY
Insurance Surcharge Case Will
Come Up This Week.
Renker Hotel Hearing Is Also
Set for Friday.

The state today asked hearing in
the Shawnee county district court Fri
day afternoon on a motion to dissolve
the temporary Injunction against
Frank L. Travis, state superintendent
of insurance, in the action brought by
ninety-one insurance companies. The
action seeks to enjoin the enforcement
of a recent order by Travis setting
aside the 10 per cent surcharge on
fire insurance risks.
Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gen.
eral, today filed the motion for hear
ing Friday. 1t is probable the mat
ter will be presented at ? O'Clock Fri
day afternoon. At that time the state
will ask that the restraining order be
set aside and that the order of Travis
be made immediately effective. The
restraining order, if allowed to remain
in force, would permit the fire insur-
ance companies to continue the sur
charge and to make settlement with
policyholders only in event the present
litigation is finally settled or decided
in favor of the state.
The state will also contest the ap-
plication of the Renker hotel interests
for a restraining order against the blue
sky department in hearing Friday
morning. This case was called up
last week, but was continued. Re-
Gently the Renker interests sought to
enjoin the action of the blue sky board
in blocking the sale of Renker hotel
stock in this state. Both cases will
be heard by Judges Whitcomb and
Carver sitting en- bank

HERE is A COMEDY
Margaret Anglin VIII Play ut Grand
Opera House Tuesday Night.

Margaret Anglin will come to the
Grand Tuesday night in a comedy OF
English life and manners called Bill
leted," which took rank as the best
comedy of the season during its re-
cent long runs in New York, Chicago,
and Boston, and it will doubtless hold
that rank for a long time to come.
The comedy is in three acts and from
the rise of the curtain on the first act
until its final descent on the last scene.
it has the sparkle and glitter of polite
comedy.
1t is always refreshing and intel
ligently so. And yet behind all its
frothy, farcical situations and brilliant
epigrammatic dialogue, there lies large
significance-the feeling which this
country is just beginning to get-that
after all. war changes everything.
"Billeted' is a play that will please
thcatergoers of all classes. 1t will be
presented here by the original New
York cast

CAN'T Save CARS
Holders of Auto Mortgages
Hold Sack in Liquor Cases.
They Have No Replevin Rights,
Attorney General Says.

Mortgag gees will lose their rights to
replevin automobiles and other We
hicles when they are used in the trans
portation of liquor into or from one
place to another within the state of
Kansas. That is the text of an opinion
to be rendered today by Richard ].
Hopkins. attorney general. and direct
ed to all county attorneys.
Under the law passed by the recent
legislature, the state may confiscate
and provide for the disposition of all
vehicles used in transporting liquor in
this state. 1t is not necessary that the
liquor be hauled for the purpose of
SALE, since the Kansas bone dry law
makes the mere possession of lntox1-
cants illegal.
Recently many inquiries have come
to the attorney generals office re-
garding the rights of persons holding
mortgages on cars which are used in
transporting liquor. Hopkins holds
that under the law the person with a
mort gage simply loses. He has NO
right to recover the car or other We
hicle.
Based On Court Decision.
This opinion is based largely on the
decision of the state supreme court
in a recent appeal from the Reno
county district court. There it was
held that the owner of a jitney car
could not replevin a car used by ar
agent driver and in which liquor was
carried. Since the owner lost his
rights, Hopkins holds that the mort
gagee cannot recover.
The ruling affects mortgages or
thousands of automobiles in this state
It becomes the responsibility of the
mortgage to see that cars on which
he holds liens are operated in accord
with provisions of the state law
otherwise the ear may be seized by
the state and disposed of without per
hitting the owner of the mortgage tc
recover in repleVin action.

ASK COURT RELIEF
Property Owners Do Not Want
To Pay H. S. Tax.
Washburn-Gage Park Fight
Has Been Renewed.

Suit asking for an order restraining
the Washburn rural high school board
from including the property of the
the Barnes high school at Washburn,
was filed today in the district court,
The action was brought by Christie
pher Burning. Thos. w. Scudder and
John Sutherin, all property owners OF
the Gage park school district. P. P.
Womer, George c.. Pitchard, Ira G.
Romig. of the Washburn high school
board, and Kent Raub, county clerk
are named as defendants.
The petition filed by the three Gage
Park property owners reviews the
steps taken for a rural high school al
Washburn with the district including
Gage Park community. The necessary
arrangements for the esta blishment OF
the school were made, but later the
board of education of the city of To-
peka made an order admitting the
Gage Park district to the city for
school purposes The plaintiffs in the
suit say this order gives Gage Park
the benefit of Topeka high school, and
to include the district in the Wash
burn plans would be duplicative.
Immediately after the petition for
injunction was filed today. the court
issued a temporary restraining order
pending final hearing of the case. I'm
like most such cases the suit is moi
brought in the name of the taxpayers
as a whole in the district. The plain
tiffs ask only that their property be
with the Washburn plan. 1t is re-
garded, however. as a test case, and
more similar suits will undoubtedly
follow if it is successful.

EXTRACTION is DENIED
Conrad C. Morgan Will Not Be Taken
to West Virginia

Governor Allen today denied the ap-
plication of Gov. John j. Cornell of
West Virginia for a writ of extradition
for the return to that state of Conrad
c. Morgan. The writ was resisted by
des, of Ell Dorado, in a former hear
ing before Judge C. w. Smith, execu-
tive clerk in the governors office.
Morgan was wanted on charge of
grand larceny. He was indicted in
1916. and for some time has been en-
ployed by an oil company at Ell
Dorado. Judge Smith, acting for Gov
ernor Allen. held that the showing to-
day by the West Virginia authorities
was insufficient to warrant the re-
moyal of Morgan from this state.

Crop in U. S. Is One Billion,
100 Million Bushels.
Spring and Winter Production
Estimated Today.
FARMER THE REAL PLUTOCRAT
Means S2,5OO,0OO,OOO to Him
Despite the Markets.
Dollar Is Cheapened, So Gov
eminent Is Saved.

Washington. April 1.-THE total
spring and winter wheat crop grow n
by the American farmer this year
promises to be the greatest produced
by any nation in the world history, ag-
ricultural department figures showed
today.
The only crops ever approximating
this were the 1918 winter yield in Rus
STA of S3S, 5000 bushels and a single
billion bushel yield in the United
States.
To Farmers, $500, 1000. 900.
The promised 1919 yield, with the
guaranteed price of $2.26 per bushel
fixed by the government means a re-
turn of approximately $4,000, 600. 900
to the farmer. Should the price of
wheat drop, it is pointed out. the gov
eminent would have big sum to
make up.
Little chance, however. is seen for
such drop this year. Russian pro-
duction. which in years past, has been
about the same as the United States,
does not now figure in the world
market. Hence. the worlds supply
will still be far short of needs until
Russia resumes it's former place as a
wheat producing nation.
Another factor which officials here
say will tend to prevent a drop in
wheat quotations is the cheapening of
money I'm every part of the world.
The American dollar. for example, is
worth only half as much as it was in
1913, according to government statis-
tics, and the pound, franc and Ira
have dropped as much or more in
value
Therefore, officials are confident
the government will not be obliged to
buy millions of bushels of wheat at a
loss
