Executive Again Emphasizes
Value of Early Action.
Ratification of Treaty by Three
Nations Won't Create League.
DON'T GET HUN TERRITORY
Hun Remuneration Doesn't Con-
Yey Title to Allies.
Disposition of Land, However,
Put in Their Hands.

Washington. Aug. 21.-Presi-
dent Wilson has not the power to
declare peace by proclamation,
nor could he consent in any cir
cumstances to take such course
prior to the ratification of a
formal treaty of peace by the
senate.
The president so wrote Senator Fall
today in answer to one of the twenty
written questions the senator pre-
sented at the White House conference
Tuesday.
Three Won't Be n League"
Replying to another question. the
president said the provision OF the
treaty that 1t should come into force
after ratification by Germany and
three of the principal associated pow
ers operated merely to establish peace
between those ratifying powers and
that II was questionable whether Il
can be said that the league of nations
is. in any true sense, created by the
association of only three of the allied
and associated governments"
As to the question of when normal
conditions might be restored. the
president said he could only express
the confident opinion that "immedfate
ance of the covenant OF the League.
as written. would certainly wi sin the
near future reduce the cost OF living"
both in this country and abroad, thru
the restoration of production and
commerce to normal.
Merely Held i'm Trust
To Senator Falls question relating
to the disposition of Germany's pos
sessions. the president said the ar
rangement in the treaty conveyed no
title to the allies or associated powers,
but merely lin trusts disposition Of
the territory in question to their de-
cision."
Germany's renunciation in favor OF
the principal allied and associated
powers, the president continued. "of
her rights and titles to her overseas
possessions is meant similarly to oper-
ate as vesting in those powers n trus-
teeship with respect OF their final dis
position and government"

State Journals To Be Delivered

Lieutenant WebDer VIM Drop
Mail From Sky.

In line with its policy of First in

for the fifth time will send an edi-
ton by airplane. Lieut.. Thomas Web

hero of the Royal Flying corps. will
drop State Journals from the sky
upOn Horton, headquarters of the

edition was delivered to Eskridge.

there was a scramble for the copies of
the papers when Lieutenant Webber
lifted them from the cockpit of his
big Curtiss biplane.
other deliveries were made to Bald

This evening Webber and O'Brien
will fly to fulfill an engagement in Ne
braska They will make the trip in
their new plane-a ship that the two
flew into Topeka this morning from
Joplin, Mo.
No stop will be made at Horton but
the progressive residents of the city
have marked a field thatthe pilot may

height of 1000 feet or more and spir-

drop the State Journals.
There is no doubt of the future in
newspaper deliveries. Evening papers
can make cities in a radius of 100 to
200 miles and can make deliveries to
the towns from the air without MAX
ing a stop. 1t probably will take not
more than twenty minutes to fly to
Horton this evening.
In other deliveries the State Jour
nal has sent papers by~airplane when
stop was made. The delivery to
Horton this evening is the first direct
from-the-air distribution of the paper.
1t is by this method, over a marked
field. that the newspapers will be de-
Iivered when aerial transportation be-
comes practical.

Mexico City newspapers take the

and the United States. A manifesto
issued by the federation OF labor union

He Ate Hearty Breakfast Be-

Was Sleeping SOundly When
Officer Visited Cell.
SHAVED AND "SHINGLED" TOO
He Smoked Big Cigar as Miller
Led Him to Car.
Handouts Fit Him Like a
Made-tO-Order Bride.

Rufe King was sleeping like a baby
at 6 o'clock this morning when the
jailer at the Shawnee county jail
awakened him to prepare for his trip
to Eskridge.
This is the big day, King" said the
jailer as he shook the huge COW
puncher and accused murderer.
"- --, that's right" said
King as he sat up and rubbed his
eyes.
If there was any apprehension of
today being his last day on earth, it
was displayed more by officials who
took him to Eskridge than by the
man who would be the guest of honor
at the party.
King dressed with care. His sister.
Mrs. Matte Cooper. of Alma. obtained
permission to send a barber into his
cell late Tuesday afternoon when he
was shaved and his shock of heavy,
black hair was trimmed.
Ate Big Breakfast.
AS King finished dressing, break
fast was carried in to him. The ac-
cused murderer ate heartily. Then
he lighted a big cigar given to him the
day before and sat on a bench smok-
ing quietly.
In few minutes a big touring car
drove up in front of the jail. Bob
Miller, undersheriff of Shawnee county.
and Sheriff Baker, of Wabaunsee
county alighted from the car.
'All right, King. we're ready" said
Miller.
The jailer unlocked the door. King
smoking calmly walked. into the front
office.
Wen put cuffs on you. King" said
Miller, as he reached toward King with
pair of handouts
King extended his hands, cooked
his cigar at As degree angle to keep
the smoke from his eyes and waited
until the cuffs were fastened.
TOO tight?" Miller inquired.
Fit like bride made to order"
replied King.
IAN right, let's CO." said Miller.
Not n Bit Nervous.
The three men stepped into the
car where two other officers were
waiting. King continued to smoke as
he sat down between two officers in
the back seat.
Not for a second did the big fellow
display any nervousness as he left to
face the relatives and friends of the
three men he is accused of numbering
and at the same time returned to the
scenes of his childhood days, the
town where he wooed and won his
wife, whom he claims to love so much.
The nervousness is all on the part OF
the officials. on the surface, at least.

The next day GutshalPs father called
on Rufe King. Gutshall testified that
his father was told, by King that he
had been mistaken when he told him
that Reuben Gutshall was in Colorado.

stand. I'VE sent a special delivery
letter to the address given US by King

see county bank. King, Gutshall de-
clared, called at the house and threat
ened to turn his brother in to county
authorities unless the mortgage was
paid by the Gutshall family.
Bring In Bones.
At this point. an officer walked into
the opera house with a gunny sack
over his shoulder. As he reached the
stage he swung the big sack from his
shoulder, united the top of the sack
and grabbed the bottom. The bones of
human skeleton rolled out on the
floor of the opera house.
The skull, the trunk. the arms and
the legs were arranged in human fash
ion and then William Gutshall was
asked to walk over and examine them
in an effort to identify the skeleton
as that of his missing brother. Gut
shall declared he could identify the
skeleton thru the resemblance of the
head to that of his brother and be-
cause of the teeth.
On cross examination Senator c. E.
Carroll asked GutshalI If he ever ex-
amined his brothers teeth. Gutshall
admitted he had not.
Two Wabaunsee county physicians
testified that the bones found in
Kings shed were those of a man be-
tween the age of Is and "a years.
Reuben Gutshall at the time of his
disappearance was "a years of age.
Fred Banta was called to the stand.
He testified to finding the bones dis
