Manufacturers Send Man Here To
k. New Water Machinery.

An inspector from the Merkel Ma
chinery Co, of Kansas City. arrived
in Topeka today to inspect the in
staIlation of the two new low duty
centrifugal pumps at the city water

|MOCCASINS GO
DOWN NDEFEAT
0gIethorpe Runs Roughshod
Over Chattanooga In
Second Half.
FINAL SCORE IS 19 TO o

After holding Oglethorpe scoreless
for the first two periods Chattanooga
crumbled in the final half this after
noon and allowed the Petrels to pile
up three touchdowns. The final score
was Is to 0, two goals being missed.
Oglethorpe received the kickoff to
start the second half and marched
steadily up the field. On criss-cross
Chestnut ran to the ten-yard line
and Knox then went over.
Oglethorpe again received after the
score and quickly repeated her per-
formance, long runs by Knox. Chest
mutt and Sims quickly taking the
oval across. Sims was credited with
the second marker.
The third touchdown was a repeti-
ton of the first two, the Petrels re-
ceiving and marching straight up the
field. Knox scored the final counter
and Chestnut kicked goal.
The first half of the Oglethorpe-
University of Chattanooga fray was
marked by the exhibition of poor
running, and ineffective line -bucking;
neither team was able to amass any
points Not a single first down was
made by either team, and the game
resolved itself into a punting duel,
the punts being of mediocre length.
The first half ended with the ball in
Chattanooga's possession in the mid
die Of the field. Only about fifty peo-
pie were present

SHOTS FIRED AT
STATE WITNESS
Another Sensation Sprung in
W. H. Simonds Forgery
Case.
ASSAILANT IS KNOW N

A sensation was sprung in the case
of w. II. Simonds Friday afternoon
when it was learned that the princi-
pal witness who was to appear
against Simonds, under indictment
for forgery and connection with the
murder of O. j. Carlson, had been
followed to his home and twenty-five
shots fired into his house on Walden's
ridge.
The sheriff's office has definite in
formation as to who the party was
that fired the shots, but Saturday re-
fused to give out any information re-
garding the case. The witness stated
at the Jail and at the attorney gen
erals office that he had been in the
city Friday. When he went home a
strange man followed him. After he
had gone into his home twenty five
shots were fired into his residence
No one was struck. The witness said
he knew who the man was.
Simonds was first charged with
forging a deed to- O. J. CaIlsons
property in favor of himself Later
charged with and convicted of the
murder of Carlson, Simonds was
named as one of the principals in
Carlson's murder. The case is at the
present being investigated from ev-
cry angle and it is reported that some
valuable information corroborating
Washington's confession is being Sc
cured. The sheriff's office asserts it
will be able to convict the confed-
crates named by Washington.

BOLD DEED OF
TRAIN ROBBER
Express Car of Yazoo va-ey
Train Robbed of VaIu-
/ able Papers.
ROBBERS MAKE ESCAPE

Memphis, Oct. 11.-Five men, who
boarded southbound passenger train
No. 35 of the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley railroad as it was leaving the
Memphis yards early today, held up
the express messenger and his helper,
secured several packages and escaped
when the train was stopped at West
Junction in response to a telephone
message from yardmaster who saw
the men board the train.
When the train was stopped the
messenger and his assistant were
found lying on the floor bound. One
of the packages reported missing was
said to have been shipped by Mem
pf1is jewelry concern. Posses were
quickly organized and began a search
of the surrounding section.
West Junction is on the outskirts
of the city and about four miles from
the yards where the men boarded the
train.
A man who gave his name as A. j.
Gates, d switchman, was found
wounded in a swamp about a quar-
ter of a mile from the scene of the
holdup this afternoon. Gates denied
any knowledge of the robbery and
declared he was on his way to his
home when he was fired on and
wounded. He was brought TO hos,
pital here. His condition is reported
as critical.
Railroad watchmen reported they
fired several shots in the direction of
the men who leaped from tha train
when it stopped at the junction.

SUGAR Limit IS
NOW z POUNDS
Further Restriction on Trade
Placed by Many Lead
ing GroCers.


Further restrictions of the amount
of sugar allowed purchaser were
placed Saturday by many of the lead
ing grocers of the city when all pur-
chases were limited to two pounds.
A week ago four and half pounds
was the limit, but the shortage now
has grown so acute that grocers state
they are compelled to lower the
amount to customers in order to
make the present supply last.
Little hope for the immediate re-
lief of the sugar situation is expected
in the south soon, it is stated. The
consumption now has passed the
amount last year. According to % re-
port recently made on the situation,
there have been delivered to the
country this year at least 440,000,000
long tons more than in 1918, and 1t is
somewhat difficult to believe that all
of this sugar is actually being con-
sumed.
Two reasons are assigned for the
present situation. The Savannah re-
tinery entered into an agreement with
all other refiners and with the United
States sugar equalization board by
which they were to receive a certain
percentage of all the sugars pur-
chased or controlled by said board
They received the full amount that
they were entitled to, plus an arbi-
trary overallottment of 1000 tons.
Another reason, it is pointed out, is
the inordinate demand for such which
has developed in this country, largely
by the advent Of prohibition and in
anticipation of prospective higher
prices that are expected with the in
coming of the new West Indian crops
in the early part of next year.
BY the first of the year real sugar
famine will be facing the country. 1t
is not sugar shortage; instead it is a
sugar famine, say dealers.

PLANS TO ROUND
UP R RADlCALS
#s
BoISheviStS and AnarChistic
Agitators to Be SternIy
Dealt With.
PROBING INTO STRIKE

Gary, Ind, Oct. 11.-Bolshevists
and other radical agitators accused
of fomenting disorder among striking
steel workers in the Calumet district
are to be sternly dealth with by the
military authorities in control, it be-
came increasingly evident today.
Plans for a thorough and prolonged
campaign to stamp out anarchistic
elements in the strike have been
formed by the various government
agencies.
Following raids in which scores of
radicals have been arrested, measures
for the deportation of all against
whom evidence is found to warrant
such action are being considered by
federal authorities today. A stockade
is being built, in which the prisoners
will be housed, and many of those
arrested have been put to work
cleaning the streets.
Steel mills throughout the district
reported a continued increase in pro-
duction and declare that scores OF
men are returning to work daily.
Much Impressed.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 11.-impressed by
what they saw in their tour of the
big steel centers in the Pittsburgh dis
riot, the members of the senate COM
mittee investigating the strike of steel
workers today began the hearing of
witnesses in the federal building here.
The steel operators and the strike
leaders were notified that they would
be allowed only ten witnesses each.
The committee, however, issued sub
poenas for a number of persons whom
the members wished to examine. The
hearings will continue tomorrow and
the visit will end tomorrow night when
the committee will return< to Wash
ington. 1t was planned to go to
Youngstown, O., and Gary, Ind. But an
urgent call summoned the senators
back to the capitol.
While the senators would make no
formal statement as to what they
learned on their trip yesterday they
indicated that they were impressed by
two facts. One was that none of the
crippled and the others was that the
strikers knew what they were striking
for.
Invariably the three leading questions
put to the strikers regarded the wages
received, their living conditions and the
reasons they quit. Poor wages and
long hours were the principal COM
plants with many of them, and recog-
milton of the union.
Youngstown, o., Oct. 1.-THE first
iron manufactured in the Mahoning
valley since the steel strike began was
poured from a blast furnace at the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube company
early this morning, according to an
observer outside the plant who saw
the metal poured from the furnace,
Activity at practically all other plants
here indicates an attempt to manu-
facure iron Soon

panies in the Mahoning valley, the

mated.

pants had taken him to task for
blocking the street.
A public chauffeur and two other
men were passengers in the car with
Mrs. Perkinson when she was killed.
According to the passengers, the
shooting followed an argument with
the gatekeeper, who is being held on
the charge of murder.
