KANSAS SWEPT BY STORMS
Thousands Of Dollars Damage Caused
by Heavy RainfafI-WeiIington
Struck BY Tornado.

Topeka, March 17.-Hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars damage is be-
lieved 10 have resulted from floods
caused BY unprecedented rainfall yes
terday in the Kaw river watershed,
over territory reaching from SaIina
TO Lawrence. Small streams through
out the district surged beyond their
banks, overlooking many acres of rich
farm land and in the towns and cities,
filling Easements and in some in
stances driving people from their
homes
During the day the Kaw river rose
rapidly and early this evening stood
at 1S-5 feet in Topeka, with the crest
Of the flood waters yet to come.
It was feared tonight that later re-
ports might show heavy losses OF live
stock on farms located in the low
lands along the creeks Hundreds Of
acres Of farm lands in Saline and
Geary counties are under water as a
result of creeks going over their banks
today, according to reports received
here tonight
Late last night a small tornado
struck a part of Wellington, wreckng
number Of barns. and showing several
residences from their foundations
Several box cars were blown from the
Santa Fe tracks.
Two thousand feet of track on the
Alma branch of the Santa Fe railroad
between BurIingame and HarveyviIle,
south Of here, were washed out last
night. a large bridge across a lagoon
west OF BurlingaIne was also carried
away. Families living on farms along
creeks in the vicinity were preparing
10 move TO the uplands tonight If the
water continued rising.
Reports from Abilene tonight stated
that no floods had occurred there, al
though the Smoke Hill river had risen
several feet The rainfall there last
night amounted to Is to 2 inches.
Flood warnings for Lawrence and
Bonner Springs, where the KaW river
is likely to go over its banks, were is
sued early tonight by the local weather
bureau The Kaw river at Bonner
Springs now stands at sixteen feet, it
was stated, and a rise OF from four TO
six feet was expected within the next
tWenty-four hours

ADVERTISING WOULD HELP
Publicity Campaign Would Stimu-
late Business Throughout Country.

Washington, March 20-Extensive
advertising campaigns throughout the
country will put business on its feet
and relieve the present stagnation,
Roger W. Babson, director of the in
formation service of the Department
of Labor and a business authority,
said today.
,Babson has sent statements to big
business men of the country urging
increased advertising as a means of
ushering an era of prosperity.
MY advice to the merchant" Bah
son says, lis this-for your interest
and for the good Of the coUntry-in-
crease the advertising appropriation
for 1919. Prosperity depends upon
the consumer. If there is not a market
for goods they will not be produced.
Business is now stagnant because
nobody desires to buy, even though
people have been deprived of many
things during the war. Psychologist
ally, we have not recovered from the
shock of the war"

HAVE CLEW IN BOND MURDEs
California Police Making Desperate
Efforts to Solve Mystery OF OAK
land Bankers Wife's Death.

Oakland, Cal, March 2O.-The kill
ing OF Mrs. George Greenwood, wife
of banker of this city, by an explo-
sion at the Greenwood home here
early last night, was almost as much
e mystery early today as when Mr..
Greenwood, aroused by the explosion,
looked from an upstairs window TO
see his wife's body in the garden be
low The police believe they have
two slender clews. They are six
small pieces Of galvanized iron wire
removed from the body by surgeons
along with a bit Of lead, fragments Of
brick, and scraps of clothing, and the
fact that in January, 1918, a letter
received by Mr.. Greenwood demanded
delivery Of five thousand dollars at
a certain spot, under penalty Of haY-

WILSON is AGAIN IN PARIS
Presidential Party Met at Station by
President Poincare, Premier
Clemenceau and Others.

Paris, March 15.-President Wilson,
returning to the peace conference at
ter his trip to the United States, ar
rived in Paris shortly after noon
today.
The presidential party was met at
the station by President Poincare and
Madame POincare, Premier Clemen-
ceau, Foreign Minister Pichon and
Andre Tardieu, General BerdouIat, the
military governor of Paris, Major Gen
eral MordacQ, head of the military
cabinet of the ministry of war; Sec
rotary Of State Lansing, General Tas-
ker H. Bliss, Henry White Of the
peace mission, Ambassador Sharp and
Admiral Benson,
President Poincare gave President
Wilson a cordial greeting during a
brief conversation With Premier
Clemenceau the American executive
spoke for some time, congratulating
the French statesman on his escape
from death in the recent attempt to
assassinate him.
President Wilson appeared to be in
excellent health and spirits
The President did not larry on the
station platform. He let his hand
lineer longer in that of NJ CIemen-
ceau than anyone else and spoke earn
estly to the premier as they strolIed
down the long platform After he
had congratulated NJ Clemenceau on
his escape from death by the assas-
sins bullet, the premier turned and
smilingly said:
my hide is too thick for a little
piece of lead to do me any HARM
Emerging from the station, Presi-
dent Wilson Immediately entered his
motor car, which drove at high speed
along the left bank of the Seine, cross
ing the river on the Alma bridge. Ar
irving in the Place de Etats Unis, the
streets were virtually deserted,
fact sharply in contrast with the
Presidents appearance in Paris, just
three months ago today.

DOCTORS MUST Be EDUCATED
Requirements for Prospective Stu.
dents of Medicine Worked Out
by the Senate.

The Senate worked most of the at
ternoon recently determining the ed
ucational qualifications of physicians
and others of the profession in Kan
sas. The bill came from the commit
tee on temperance and hygiene, and
created a commission composed of the
chancellor of the State University,
president of the Agricultural College
and president of the State Normal
School, to give embryo physicians a
preliminary examination before they
could take the usual medical examin-
atoms.
The bill requires that after 1924
every applicant for a license to prac-
tice in Kansas must have had a full
high school course and at least one
year of college work before he can
study medicine. The big fight in the
Senate came on the question of max
ing the bill apply TO Christian Scien-
lists, osteopaths, chiropractors and
those who claim to heal the sick, but
do not use drugs or instruments of
any kind. The Senate decided that
everyone had to take the preliminary
examination and fulfill the education
al requirements

LODGE and LOWELL
DEBATETHELEAGUE
Senator and Harvard President
Take Opposite Sides Before
a Boston Audience.
ADMITS FAULTS IN COVENANT
Supporter of instrument, However, De-
cIared 1t Was Correct in Prin-
ciPIe, Although Very Defective.

Boston, March 2O.-The merits OF
the proposed covenant of the League
of Nations were debated tonight by
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and A.
Lawrence Lowell, president Of Har-
ward University, before an audience
that followed the speakers with in
tense interest and frequently ex-
pressed approval The debaters ap-
preached the general topic from diff
ferent angles. Senator Lodge at
tackled the covenant as agreed upon
by the commission of the peace con-
ference" as a porous instrument, -
on the Interpretation OF which the
signers themselves would be at odds
within twelve months
Covenant Defective.
Dr. Lowell admitted that the cove
nant'' needed Qualification, but argued
that in substance, as a plan for the
prevention OF war, it was sound.
Symphony hall was filled. Three
thousand persons had seats and 300
stool. Half OF the audience was made
up Of members OF the legislature, fed
eraI and state judiciary, governors OF
New England states, army and navy
officers, members of the Harvard fac
ulty, delegates OF the Central Labor
Union and personal guests of the de-
baters. The other half represented
the lucky ones who had been award
ed admission by chance from twenty
five times as many applications.
In answering Senator Lodge A Law
renee Lowell, president of Harvard
University, laid the premises for his
argument by asserting that to be eff
fective a League of Nations to prevent
war must provide for compulsory ar
bitration with penalties for the often
der that no nation would venture to
incur Punishment, he said, should
be melted out not by a council of the
league but automatically by the agreed
and immediate attitude of the mem
bers OF the league who had bound
themselves to resist the aggressor.
Then he analysed the proposed cove
nant to establish that, though there
were faults in the drafting, it offered
the minimum essentials of an effec-
tive anti-war league

HAS POWER TO LIMIT PROFIT

Chicago, March 19.-''The Food Ad-

PRICE Of NATURAL
GAS TO Be LOWER
Federal Supreme Court Sets
Aside Judge Booths Order
Fixing 8O-Cent Rate.
IHJUNCTIORS ARE DISSOLVE
Jurisdiction Reverts to Utilities Com
missions of Kansas and Missouri,
According to the Decision.

Washington, March 1S-Federal
court DEGREES holding that the Kan
sas Natural Gas Company and its sub
salaries are engaged in interstate
commerce and enjoiRing Missouri and
Kansas state and municipal officials
from interfering with rates fixed by
the court for the distribution of nat
uraI gas, were set aside today by the
United States Supreme Court
Injunctions restraining the Kansas
Public Utilities Commission from
fixing the rate in that state at twenty
eight cents a thousand cubic feet and,
in effect, setting aside rates pre-
scribed in franchises granted by va
rious municipalities in Missouri, were
dissolved by the court.
Decision Was Unanimous.
In deciding the case, the court, in
q unanimous opinion, held the COM
panies were engaged in interstate
commerce in bringing in through pipe
lines gas from Oklahoma, but after
delivery to the local companies the
business became interstate.
The original proceedings were
brought by John NJ Landon, as re-
ceiver for the Kansas Natural Gas
Company, who alleged the rate fixed
by the Kansas commission was con-
fiscatory. In sustaining that conten-
ton the lower court decided the com
pany was engaged in interstate com
merce and that the commissions or
der was burden upon it.
Opinions Differ On Effect.
The Immediate effect Of the Su.
preme court ruling on gas rates is an
undetermined question, with differ
ences of opinions between legal rep
resentatives of the city and subsidi-
airy companies of the Kansas Natural.
City attorneys contend the rate will
be automatically restored to the price
effective when Judge Wilbur F. Booth
took jurisdiction, while other attOr-
neys believe the present rates will
stand until lowered by the public utiI-
tiles commissions of Missouri and
Kansas.
