County Attorney Unable To Get
Deathbed Statement.
'ASE TO Be HARD FOUGHT
Wealthy Candy Maker To Make
Able Defense.
Case. Grew Out of In
cident in Store.

Death today cheated Hugh Fisher,
county attorney. from getting state
ment from 17-year-old Bernice Dill
Ion, whose father had sworn to a war
rant charging p. Charowhas. proprie-
tor of the Palace of Sweets, with a
statutory crime against his daughter.
The girl was dangerously ill for sew
eral days.
The county attorney was told Thurs
day evening that she was near death
and a deathbed statement of the crime
alleged to have been committed
against her would be necessary. He
hurried to the Dillon home on East
Fourth street. where he was told that
the girl was too near death to make a
statement. 1t was learned this morn
ing that she is dead.
The father told county officers that
the crime was committed while the
girl was working in the candy shop.
Charowhas is a Greek and is married
and well fixed financially. He has
employed able attorneys to defend him
and the case promises to be hotly con-
tested.

Sec'y of Commerce May Resign
Over Steel Price Split.
Boards Dissolution
Also Expected.
HINES REJECTS STEEL PRICES
Conference Thursday Fails To
Produce Agreement.
Gary Says He Can't Meet Illness
Price-WOuld Knock Wages.

New York, May S.-The railroad
administration and the steel producers
failed in a conference here last yes
terday to agree on a price for steel.
AS a result the steel market is wide
open today and an increase in prices
is expected to result from a flood of
orders which have been held back
waiting for a definite price to be
agreed on. The plan of Secretary of
Commerce Redfield to reduce living
costs by lowering prices-beginniag
with steel-appears. according to gen.
eral belief, to have received a sharp
set back.
Secretary Redfield went about his
price sta bilizing scheme thru the me-
dunn of an industrial board, which
conferred with steel producers and
then fixed a steel rate satisfactory to
both sides.
But the railrad administration re-
fused to accept it, saying it was not
low enough.
AS a result of the railroad admins
tration's refusal to accept the steel
prices agreed on by the Industrial
board and the steel producers, fol-
lowed by the opening up of the steel
market by the railroad administration.
dissolution of the industrial board is
expected 1t was even reported that
Secretary Redfield might resign be-
cause his effort to stabilize and lower
living costs apparently had been de-
feated by another government agency.
Representatives of the railroad ad-
ministration and the American Iron
and Steel institute manufacturers
committee met here yesterday to try
to get together on n price even lower
than that fixed by the industrial board
But no agreement was reached. After
the meeting, E H. Gary of the United
States Steel corporation issued state
ment declaring the manufacturers
could not reduce their rates as the
railroad administration asked without
also reducing wages.
Director General Hines also issued
a very long statement in which he
charged that the prices asked by the
steel interests now were as profitable
to them as their high war prices had
been, due to the fall in cost of scrap
material. He said the administrations
would now proceed to do its buYfng in
open market, and that it would soon
ask bids on 100000 tons of steel rails

Sheriff's Force of Two Counties
After Mrs. Leila Blair.
HUSBAND WANTS HIS CHILDREN
Court Changes Custody and
Wife Can't Be Found.
Escaped in a Buggy From VIII
lard, Officers Declare.

Rather than to give up her two chill
dren to her divorced husband, Mrs.
Leila Blair is hiding with the children
somewhere in Kansas. Accepting to
the story told to Sheriff Hugh Lari-
mer by Otis Hungate, her attorney.
The sheriff and deputies waited long
and patiently for Mrs. Blair at the
Rock Island station Thursday after
noon, expecting to serve an order on
her as she stepped from a train on
which she was scheduled to arrive.
Telephone messages from Willard
earlier in the day informed Hungate
that Mrs. Blair with the children was
waiting for train to Topeka. After
the trains arrival another telephone
message informed them that she had
left Willard hurriedly in a buggy. The
Wabaunsee district court recently is
sued an order transferring the custody
of the children from the wife to the
husband on account of charges of mis-
conduct on the part of Mrs. Blair
while she lived at 404 Van Buren,
street last winter. The Blairs live
near Willard.
Granted a Divorce.
In a divorce petition filed several
months ago Blair charged his wife
with registering at the Fifth Avenue
also with extreme cruelty and other
faults, according to Hungate. The
court granted a divorce on the cruelty
charge. Hungate stated.
Shortly after the granting of the
divorce Mrs. Blair moved to Topeka
and lived with the same man at 404
Van Buren, and the two children were
with her, according to Hungate, and
these facts were placed before the
court, resulting in an order changing
the custody of the children. Now the

Judge Whitcomb Will Consider Civic
Club Injunction Tomorrow.

The fight of the Topeka Rotary
club and two or three other local or
ganiZations against the erection of the
new county home on the site of the
present one will be brought up in the
second division of the Sha vince county

afternoon.
The Rotary club claims that with its
allied organizations it was RESPONSE
BILE for the voting of the s50.000 in
bonds for the county home. 1t claims
that the bond campaign was based on
the fact that the home was to be
erected in or very near to the city.
The county commissioners claim
that they made no promises of such
nature and contend that they have in
tended to put the home on the present
county poor farm from the very start.

OFFICIAL REPORT.
Yet to go


Officially Shawnee county is not yet
over the top. But Shawnee county is
expected to be over the top by tonight
An announcement made Thursday
by j. r. Burrow, chairman of the
Shawnee county victory loan commit
tee, was to the effect that final bank
returns today would show Shawnee
county emerging from the pile of un-
subscribed districts with an over the
top rapport.
But just because Burrow has made
this announcement is no reason why
persons who have not subscribed to
the loan should consider it within
their province to continue on the list
of non-subscribers This is also one
made close on the heels of the go-over
announcement.
County Districts Backward.
The country districts have most GER
tainiy net done their part in the loan,
F-syrlSers say. and it is hoped that these
deStnTue nts5 will take a sudden brace
and cause such reports to be sent in
today and tomorrow as will remove
the on-subscription stigma from the
rural districts of the county.
Nor have certain individuals in the
city done their part either. The rIQRl
districts do not get all of the censure.
A few of the city bred men have not
seen their way to putting in subscrip-
tions to the loan 1t is hoped that
some small shred of shame which
may be left in the breasts of these
men whose interests have been pro-
tected all thru the war will cause a
few pilgrimages to bank counters to-
day-to bank counters where victory
loan subscriptions are taken.

BIGGEST WHEAT CROP
Kansas Yield Will Be Greater Than
That of Last Two Years.

mat Oh Last TWO 4carS.
Barring unusually adverse weather
conditions. from now until harvest
time, Kansaa will produce total of
1877, ,427 900 bushels of wheat this year
according 10 The May report of the
United States bureau of crops esti-
mates. This is 50,00O,00O bushels
more than the state produced in the
last two years combined, and will
average III for each of the 11,1S40OO
acres planted. The white grub has
caused some damage around Wichita
and Wellington, but it is estimated
that only $4,000 acres, or thirty-six
hundredths of L per cent, will fail of
harvest
The Kansas rye acreage IS 100 per
cent of normal and promises a yield
of 3.179,000 bushels as opposed to
2.431. 900 bushels in 1918 Hay and
alfalfa is promising thruout the state.
Two drouthy summers have reduced
the clover and timothy acreage but
the condition of all hay is estimated
at SO per cent of normal and. promises
a yield of 5,647 900 tons, or 1,S13,OOO
tons more than in 1918.
Less acreage to prepare owing to
the unprecedented acreage in winter
wheat has enabled spring farm work
to advance normally in spite of the
wet season and shortage in farm la
Dor. Pastures are in good condition

duced this year and only a small per
