SUCCESS OF CLEVELAND CLUB.
Topeka Woman's Club Hears About
Policy of Similar Institution.

Members of the Topeka Womans
club were greatly interested in hear
ing how Cleveland. Ohio, established
and conducts a woman's club house,
as explained by Mrs. Sidney S. Wilson.
a director of the Cleveland Woman's
club, who visited in Topeka the other
day. The Cleveland club is self sup
porting, made SO by renting seven
rooms on the second floor to young
business women, and by renting the
ballroom of the club house.
The constant demand for rentable
rooms keeps the club house rooms
full, Mrs. Wilson pointed out. Many
of the large social affairs of the city
are held in the club house. There
are 500 members in the Cleveland
Woman's club. and the annual dues
are $40. Dues of the local Woman
club are only $3.50.
The Cleveland club house Is a re
modelled building and has had to be
adapted to the needs of the club,
while the Topeka club will be new
and can be planned as best suited to
the club purposes. There are three
stories of the Cleveland club house.
A dining room and kitchen occupy the
first floor. the second floor accom-
modates the "roomers" and the third
floor is used for the ballroom. A
paid secretary manages the main Of
flee and business details of the club.
Club meetings are held on Saturday,
and Saturday evening dinners are en-
joyed by the club members and their
husbands

ton Block Today.
At Same Time Hearing Held ON
Court Injunction.
HEARST WOULD STOP SALE
All Ships Must Be Operated
Under American Flag.
Bids Are Received Subject to
Approval by Congress.

Washington, Feb. 416.-Despite the
efforts thru court jurisdiction proceed
ings to prevent the sale, Chairman
Payne of the shipping board today had
completed his plan for receiving auc-
ton bids for the thirty-four German
passenger ships taken over by the gov
eminent during the war.
President Wilson will inform the
senate emphatically that there is
mo asis" for the report of a secret
and the British interests for the sale
of the 80 former German passenger
liners, it was announced at the White
House.
Injunction Hearing Started.
Just before the White House an
nouncement was made the public auc-
ton at which bids for the ships were
received began at the shipping board
with representatives OF more than
score of shipping companies present.
Chairman Payne was unable to con-
duct the auction as he had been
summoned to appear in person in the
district supreme court in proceedings
brought by William Randolph Hearst,
of New York for an injunction to stop
the sale. Commissioner Thomas A.
Scott acted for him.
In opening the auction Mr.. Scott
read memorandum from Chairman
Payne, which said the highest bids
would have to be approved by the sem
ate commerce committee and the
house merchant marine committee and
that acceptance Of any bids would de-
pend upon the outcome of the in
junction proceedings in the district
court. The memorandum said these
proceedings were expected to be con-
cluded within two or three days, but
that in any event checks received with
the bids would be returned by Satur-
day if the sales were not consum-
mated.
All Must Fly O. S. Flag.
Commissioner Scott said the terms
of the sale would be arranged to suit
the convenience of the board and the
prospective purchasers, and all ships
sold must be operated under the
American flag.

SHY AT R. R. RATES
Kansas Court to Await Review
From /. C. G..
Rails a Big State Problem After
March 1.

Kansas industrial court members
may await filing of formal rate petit
lions or even action by the interstate
commerce commission before tackling
railroad rate problems. In offices of
the court today there is uncertainty as
to the course which the tribunal will
pursue in meeting transportation rate
issues. w L. Higgins of the court
is known ITO favor interstate COM
merce commission review of state de-
cisions in more important cases.
Under the present program the rail-
roads will returned to private owner
ship March 1. This plan means that
the rates-both freight and passenger
as fixed under government control,
will be subject to review. So many
complications and new problems have
arisen, however, that there is little
proba bility that the state will immedi-
ately seek to upset or readjust the sit
uation.
Immediately following the return of
the roads, it is known that application
will be made to the court for increases
in wages for maintenance of way
men. This hearing may open the en-
| tire question as to revenues and earn
ings of the railroads. Until this case
| is out of the way, at least, there is lit
tie probability that the industrial court
| Will seek to readjust or disturb exist
| ing rates and tariffs.
Federal supervision of rates thru
! either the Esch or Cummings bills
may also restrict state regulation. On
| several occasions Judge Higgins has
+. indicated his belief in the policy of
! interstate commerce commission re-
, view OF state orders in more impor-
| tant cases.
| Such practice, he feels, would safe
| guard discrimination against inter
state shippers 1t has been repeatedly
urged that where state rates are made
| lower than interstate rates that fur
Their boosts in interstate charges are
made necessary to absorb deficits
| thru non-compensatory state rates.
Because of these views of the trans
portation problem, it is quite probable
that Kansas will await congressional
action or the filing of a formal rate
application before taking up the rate
