HEARING PUT OFF
CharOWhaS Will Have His Day
in Court Tomorrow.
Attorney Says He Cannot Be
Sent to Lansing.

The hearing on the habeas corpus
proceedings instituted in the district
court by p. Charowhas, proprietor of
the Palace of Sweets, to present his
being sent to Lansing, was postponed
until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning
when the case came up this afternoon
before Judge Whitcomb. CharoWhas
is charged with having, committed a
statutory offense against Bernice
Dillon, a 17-year- girl, who died a
few days ago. An examination by
physicians Saturday revealed that
Charowhas was infected with a So
cial disease and he was quarantined
in his home.
1t was the will of DR.. H. L. Clark
health officer. that the Greek be sent
to Lansing for treatment. Altho the
case was postponed, John Schenck, at
torney for Charowhas, and George
HAYDEN, city attorney, discussed the
matter. Schenck contended that it
was unlawful to send the man to
Lansing, altho he said he might be
quarantined in his home.
City Ordinance Cited.
He called attention to the ordi-
nance passed by the city commission
ers as a war measure for the protec-
ton of soldiers, requiring all physi-
clans to report cases of this kind
which came under their supervision,
to the city health officer.
DR.. Clark stated that within the
last month about rs cases, all men,
have been reported to him. Since the
passing of the ordinance, eight men
have been sent to Lansing for treat
ment. The trial tomorrow morning
will be to test the law in finding out
how conviction can be pushed when
the defenda MT Is a man of means and
of some prominence in the commun-

number of women have been sent to
Lansing since the law became effec-

GET FINE WATER BED
New City Well Test Satisfactory at
Depth of 40 Feet.

According to Commissioner Wilbur
Stanfield, a we'll put down Saturday to
depth of forty-five feet contains
eighteen feet of the finest kind of
water bearing gravel. THE gravel is
found in regular boulders," he said.
pieces are as big as hens eggs. 1t
is the finest kind of a gravel bed"
Another well was completed on Fri
day but at a depth of forty-two feet
stratum of quicksand was run into
1t does no good, Stanfield said, to
place a well in quicksand, for the sand
fills up the well and packs down so
hard that the water cannot run thru it,
The second well was dug on Satur-
day within a hundred feet of the one
IN which the quicksand was found. A
stratum of gravel eighteen feet thick is
very good indication of water. Ac-
cording to Stanfield, a stratum even
half as thick would have been regarded
favorably. Stanfield has wired the
company making the pumps he intends
to buy to change the capacity of the
pump ordered from 1000 gallons a
minute to one capable of handling
2,400 gallons per minute.
There are sixteen feet of water above
bedrock that the present pumps will
not reach, Stanfield says. The pump
in the new we'll will be motor direct
drive set two feet above flood stage.
This pump will get into the sixteen
feet of untouched water.
Another well is still to be put down.
Drilling will continue until another
suitable stratum of gravel is struck.

ATTENTION, HOUSEWIVES
Are Your Children Punyo


If so, the proba bilities are that they
are not getting the proper food to
make them strong.
Is Your Husband FIabby?
Maybe he is not eating the victuals
that build brain and Drawn.
Is Your Own Energy and Strength
Below Normal?
Probably your nourishment satisfies
your appetite and maintains your
weight at normal. but does not sup
ply the elements that produce vigor.
When the architect starts in to build
house. or the engineer to span the
river with a bridge, he studies the
needs of the structure, the materials
that should go into it to make it serve
it's purpose.
Every housewife every day is re-
worlds greatest masterpiece, the hui
man body. She chooses the materials
which go into her own frame. that of
her husband, those of her children.
If she chooses wisely, understand
ingly. the buildings for which she is
responsible will be sturdy and endur-
ing. If not, they will be like houses
of straw built on sand.
The government has published a
book which tells the house wife just
what foods the human body needs. in
what proportions it needs them, how
much strength-building there is in
each, how to get most tissue material
for a dollar.

Carpenters and Master Builders
Reach an Agreement.
Contractors Have Met Demands
u of WOrkmen.
END BUILDING TIE-UP HERE
Work on Several Large Build
ings To Start at Once.
New Agreement Gives Carpen-
tiers IS Cents an Hour.

The trouble between the Master
Builders association and Local 1445,
Carpenters union. has been settled. by
the contractors agreeing to the de-
mands of the carpenters for rs cent
rate. According to the agreement
reached. the carpenters were to start
back to work this morning.
This agreement puts an end to the
strike that has tied up practically all
building in Topeka for about six
weeks. A government conciliator
came to Topeka. but had little success
in bringing the parties together.
Last week a committee of the Mas
ter Builders refused to accede to the
carpenters demands. and another
committee was formed. consisting of
Tom Kitchin, president of the associa-
ton, and George Senne. vice presi-
dent. 1t was this committee which
came to an agreement with the car
penters which raises the rates. but
leaves the remainder of the contracts
as they were last year.
Contractors All Give In.
A report that some of the contrac-
tors in Topeka would refuse to stand
by this raise was denied today by
Henry Bennett
THE entire association will have
to accede to the agreement" he said.
THAT rumor to the contrary prob
first committee could not come to an
agreement. We could have done so
by saying yes. but that was left to the
second committee"
The settlement will cause the be-
ginning of work on several large
buildings in Topeka, which have been
held up since the beginning of the
strike

Legislators Consider Future of U. S,
Training Service.

Washington, d. G., June 6-Much of
the discussion which is taking place on
Capitol Hill in Washington these days
centers around the future Of various ac-
Invites which were created during the
war to meet emergencies. The u. S.
training service is on of the new branches
of the department of labor which is
seeking to renewal Of appropriation on
the ground that there is permanent
need for its services.
1t is contended that industrial train
ing must become practically universal if
American workers are to have adequate
chances for self-improvement and il
American goods are to successfully meet
foreign competition. Recent reports re-
ceived by the U. S. training service show
that $50 concerns in this country, some
of them employing many thousands men,
have established training departments as
a permanent feature in their plants. Ex-
perienee during the war converted many
of these firms to the need of this new
feature in industrial management.
The task of this service has been to
supply all interested manufacturers with
especially prepared courses in training
methods, so that competent instructors
can have an approved guide in systemati-
cally teaching workers the best ways of
doing their assigned operations.
