THINKS HE'S FLYER
Aged TOpekan Insists ON Drying
Clothes After Flight.

Harry Hawker hasn't anything on
George Sholes, an aged Topeka man.
who. in his own mind, has done more
spiral glides. tail spins, nose dives and
other little awaiting stunts than any
king of the air in the world. A sanity
commission sitting in the probate
court heard of this mans mental ex-
ploits today.
Sholes, 50 the commission was in
formed. believes that he has just fin
ished patrolling the front line trenches
for his captain and has returned from
a wild ride thru the wet French
zephyrs. This ride he imagines. ac-
cording to the commissions under
standing. has left him literally soaked
and with only one uniform on and it
behooves him to take off these clothes
to dry.
Fearing that while he was in the
probate court room Sholes would dis
cover he needed to dry his clothes and
despite the dictates of modesty would
insist on appearing like Adam before
the fig trees began growing, they kept
him in the county Jail where he could
dry his clothes to his hearts content
without embarrassment to the COM
mission, ct al, in the court room. The
commission found him insane, Judge
Ralph d. Cav announced.

King, armed with McDougalIs adver-
tisements to the effect that dogs talk
ing too much interest in state house
flowers and shrubs would be placed in
the other world, appeared at the court
house today.
We want to show this fellow from
out in the state that Topeka dogs have
their rights" said Kilmaurs King as
he disappeared in the office of Hugh
Fisher. county attorney. to get that
officials opinion of the rights of the
new custodian from the shortgras IS
county. King stated that he had con-
suited numerous attorneys regarding
the affair, all of whom. King claims,
denied the right of McDougall to kill
the dogs.
Can Put Up Fences.
Let him put up a fence or some
thing" said King. but he better not
kill the dogs
King claims that when he took the
matter up with the Sumner county
man, recently appointed custodian.
that official claimed the state had a
right to handle it's own affairs in its
own way. King took the opposite
view of affairs. claiming that the state
had no right to treat Topeka's dogs
any differently than the city and coun-
ty and that the things McDougall OBJ
jects to on the part of the dog would
not constitute a death sentence in any
court in the land.
Dozens of frightened dog owners
who have seen McDougalTs advertise
ments have called us in an endeavor
to protect the life of their pets" said
King.

So far, according to King. Nc
Dougall mas refused to back up on
his declaration of the divine right of
state officials to handle city dogs on
state property in anyway they deem
fit. Following is a copy of the adver-
tisement McDougall has inserted in
Topeka papers:

DODGE The QUARANTINE
Family With Chickenpox Falls To
Make Report to City.

This morning, Nella NJ. Woods, city
contaeion nurse, reported the finding
of three children recovering from
chickenpox None OF these cases had
ever been reported to the public
health department in accordance with
the ordinance. No physician had been
employed. There is every chance that
the negligence of the parents of these
children in complying with the health
ordinance may have started an cpl
demic of the disease in their neigh
borhood.
DIR. Earl G. Brown, city health Off
Ger. stated this morning that he in
tended to start in letting few viola
tors of the regulations OF the conta-
gious disease ordinance in for a taste
of the maximum penalty possible I'M
der the law unless conditions show a

that in cases where families employ

dodge the quarantine. thus becoming

HAVE BOULEVARD
Topeka Avenue Will Be the
First in the City.
City Commissioners Working
on Necessary Ordinances.

That Topeka avenue is to be made
boulevard and be the first street in
the system of boulevards contemplated
for the city. is now an assured fact.
upon report presented to the city
commissioners this morning by Com
missioner w. S. Hancock and George
Hayden. city attorney recommending
tnat an ordinance making Topeka
avenue a boulevard be drawn I'D and
that other ordinances be written pro-
viding for control of traffic upon the
boulevard, the commissioners voted to
adopt the report. Hancock and Hav-
den found that the petition presented
several days ago had been signed by
more than 81 per cent of the property
owners within the affected district
running from Third street to Seven
teenth street. According to a law
passed by the state legislature, a petit
ton signed by 81 per cent of the prop
erty owners is sufficient toslegally pro-
vide for boulevard being made out
of street. 70
AT the same time the report on the
petition was adopted an ordinance was
presented for first reading providing
the proper legal formula for making
a boulevard of Topeka avenue. The
title of another ordinance intended to
make the necessary provisions for con-
trolling traffic upon the boulevard was
also presented for first reading. This

FIX SALARY SCALE
That May Be Demand of
County superintendent.
Meeting Held Today in Office of
Miss Wooster.

Minimum salary schedules for Kan
sas teachers is a proposal which will
probably receive the unanimous en-
dorsement of county uperintendents
of public instruction, who are here to-
day from more than seventy-five coun-
ties to discuss school problems.
Health, sanitation, school terms, and
last. but not least-the tobacco and
paint ban urged by Miss Lorraine E.
Wooster, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction-are being considered
by county school heads.
The conference in the state house
today was called by Miss Wooster. All
manner of problems confronting the
teachers of the state are being dis
cussed. A number of reforms will be
urged and if necessary the teachers
propose to go to the legislature in 1921
with positive program for new state
laws.
Wants NO-Paint Law.
No tobacco in any form and no paint
or rouge for boys and girls in the
schools of Kansas is one of the pro-
posals which may later be enacted into
law if Miss Wooster's proposals are
carried out. Miss Wooster has already
decreed that teachers in the public
schools shall not use tobacco or rouge.
The decree is to be made effective re-
legislature will be asked to broaden
the present law.
Women superintendent were in the
majority at today's conference. Miss
Wooster is positive they will get be-
hind her anti-tobacco program and
will endorse her paint and rouge cru
sade.
so far as the teachers are con-
cerned," Miss Wooster declared to-
day, the teachers don't use rouge or
paint, anyway"
Demand Minimum Salary.
That the superintendent will de-
mand a minimum salary schedule for
teachers was clearly asserted at the
tically every county in the state is
confronted by teacher shortage. The
trouble seems to lie in the fact that
teachers can earn more money in
other work. The incentive to teach
has been withdrawn, 1t is asserted,
because of the ridiculously low salary
schedule III almost every county.
Under minimum salary system 1t
is believed that a higher standard of
efficiency can be built up. One com
plant under the present loose system
of fixing salaries lies in the fact that
In many towns and counties home
teachers are the victims of the low
est possible schedules. Nonresident
teachers are employed to fill vacan-
cles at salaries higher than those re-
ceived by persons living in the COM
munity. In short, the home teacher
is penaliZed for living in the district

A MAN OF Guns
Ed j. Bayzer Carried Water and
Lead Shooters.
Drew Water Pistol on Harvey
House Waitress.
REAL GUN SAVED FOR COPS
Order Given for Coffee Taken
Without Hesitation.
Well Known Carpenter Taken
to Jail by Police.
REAL GUN SAVED FOR COPS

81 wanta cup O. coffee and want it
quick"
Thus in the early hours of the morn
ing did Ed ]. Bayzer, a well known
Topeka carpenter. address a girl wait
ress at the Harvey House. Accent or
the display of a gun, one of those
water shooting pistols with which the
small boy has the time of his young
life.
But the frightened queen of the
culinary didn't take time to discover
or not. The harmless water squirting
instrument elected as much speed
from her as would one of the kaiser's
big Berthas had it been trained on the
Santa Fe station.
Lived Up to Motto.
Good service is the Harvey House
motto, and she was living up to the
very letter of the motto. That is, she
attempted to live up to it. But when
she reached the kitchen the, girl dis
covered her legs were as tickle as a
vampires heart and couldn't be
trusted to carry the steaming coffee to
the customer. Friends in the kitchen
came to her rescue and the police were
notified.
Bayzer was placed under arrest. On
his way to the station he drew a real
.3s caiiber revolver on one of the
officers, according to a statement
made at police headquarters this
morning. He was disarmed and taken
to the county Jail. It is probable in
sanity proceedings will be Instituted
against him, police officers stated to-
day. II
Worked at Police Station.
Bayzer's peculiar actions have at
tracted attention for several days, ae-
cording to the police. He volunta rily
went into the police station a few days
ago, SO the story goes. and worked
with vigor on the wash bowls and law
atories, making them shine like a SOL
dier's rifle before inspection. Later,
he notified the police he wished to
impress upon their minds the effect
iveness of cleaning fluid he claimed
to be selling. fM
Two days ago the police were sum-
moned to his home on lower Van
Buren, street to straighten out trouble
which proved to be only imaginary, SO
the police say. Bayzer was well known,
and well liked and he was permitted
TO run at large until he placed his sen
satlonal order at the Harvey House
this morning.
Bayzer was a prominent union man
and has been a member of the local
carpenters union for many years, At
the time of his arrest he wore an en-
blem which indicated he had been a
of the Odd Fellows lodge for
twenty-five years

SHE NEVER CAME IN
HI. p. Hanson Met Trains That Wife
Was Never On.

Making a train to meet a wife who
never came back is the experience de-
scribed today by H. P. Hanson in his
petition for a divorce from Iva May
Hanson filed with Mrs. Mary Chaplin,
clerk of the district court. Hanson
states in the petition that they moved
to t-Lnd Rapids, Mich, and later he
returned to Topeka with the under
standing, that in a short time his
spouse was to return upon the re-
ceipt of the necessary cash
The cash, he claimed, went to his
wife. But his wife never returned to
him. One train after another pulled
into Topeka's widely separated sta
tons with the husband scanning the
alighting passengers for his returning
wife. This continued for two weeks,
SO the petition recites, ending with a
receipt of letter in which, he says,
she informed him that there would
be no return. Now, he tells the court,
he doesn't know where in the United
States she is located.
Also in his petition Hanson com
planned of getting his own breakfast
while his wife remained in bed. They
were married in January, 1917.
