Court officers stated today that the
Dondsman was responsible in no way
for their conduct while they enjoyed
liberty on bond. If they left the city
and failed to appear sin court when
their case was called for trial then the
amount placed on their bond must be
paid by the bondsman.
Officers also stated that there was
no way under the law to have kept
these negroes in jail pending their
trial as the law states that no man,
excepting a man accused of murder,
can be denied BAIL pending trial

tective z. D. Glynn on suspicion of
robbihg the home of c. E. Tutwiler,

fled by Mrs. Tutwiler as the negro who

secretary of the Topeka club. in a re-
port on the last convention held at
Atlantic City, in August. which he
made before the Topeka club at their
first meeting of the year today noon

The British government is very
anxious for the Rota<:ans to come to
/ their country for a convention, and the
American Steamship company is going
to turn over to us the second largest
steamship on their lines. If that fsnt
big enough Wen hire two. Every
member of the Topeka club who in
tends to go to the 1921 convention will
be required to make a deposit of $40
for reservation aboard the steamer"
Howes spoke highly of the ovation
which greeted Judge w. L. Higgins
; of the Kansas industrial court when
he made his speech at the convention.
1T is the only time that 1 ever saw
a Rotary convention rise to it's feet
and cheer. whoop and holler. after a
speech. Higgins sure was the out
standing feature of the convention and
put Kansas on the map with his ad-
dress"
Frank Peers Talks.
Frank Peers, who returned recently
after a year and a half spent with the
relief work in Armenia. spoke to the
Rotarians concerning the sad plight in
which he found the refugees.
Even tho We did everything posi-
BILE for the women and children and
men whom we found destitute, both of
food and clothing, our work was so
little that it seemed rather futile with
the small force that we had. For three
months every member OF our force,
among whom was Mrs. Richard Mans
field, was under fire

LIBERAL CLOTHES GIFTS
But Topeka Churches Are Not Up to
Standard in Armenian Drive.

What you all want? or clothes?
All ain tgot no other kind, but you all
kin have some O. what all got" was
what an old colored woman told a
canvasser for the Near East Relief
fund.
If such spirit prevailed all over
Topeka there would be little difficulty
in piling up Topeka's quota of cloth
ing for the Armenians." r. c. Ellis,
chairman of the committee. said today.
Several months ago." Ellis said, "a
missionary from Africa spoke in To-
peka churches and told how the Mo-
hammedan faith was usurping the
Christian faith in the Near East
Church members. particularly of the
missionary societies. were much dis
turbed bs' the report. and moved that
something be done to help the Armen-
ians Now that the opportunity has
come to help only twenty eight of To-
peka's churches are lined up in this
campaign"
The churches that are at work are
helping in the campaign and doing
worth while service, Ellis said. The
First Methodist church. in addition to
many gifts of clothing, has contributed
$500 in cash.
Two large truckloads of clothing
have been collected and delivered at
the Majestic theater, which is being
used as a wareroom in the drive. But
a great deal more of clothing is needed
than has been contributed to date,
Ellis said.

Some interesting facts concern
ing the grain shipped to the allies
during the war by the Wheat Ex-
port Corporation, acting for the
government, have just been made
public. These show that of all
the ports in this country which
were used for this purpose, New
Orleans made the banner record,
a total Of 1861, 900 tons of grain
having been shipped from that
port. The greatest single achieve
ment credited to the port was the
shipping out Of q full cargoeS Of
grain, ranging from 100000 to
$4,000 bu., with less than %
hours for clearing each vessel
The public grain elevator Of
New Orleans was the greatest
contributing factor to the quick
turn-around of these vessels. This
elevator has a storage capacity of
1922, 900 bu., an unloading capac-
itv from cars of 100000 bu., and
from river barges of $4,000 bu. per
dav, with deliverey capacity 10
vessels of 100000 bu. an hour

was his unselfsh devotion to
duty, his answering loyalty and

New Iberia real boosters. Hon.

no better selection could have

his duties towards the cOmmun-

marks was President Lewald who
prefaced his words by introducing

he served the Order, and espec-

years ago he prepared from our
records the Masonic History Of
each member of Aurora from the
institution of the Lodge to that
time. This was undertaken by
him purely as a work Of love that
he might render service to a be-

is Of much value and is highly ap-

His career as a citizen was
given to the advancement Of the

Therefore, be it resolved that .
