Interpretation of Esch-Cum-
minis Bill Is Asked.
Has /. C. C.. Jurisdiction Over
Short Railroad Lines!

Chicago, Oct 25.-The supreme
court may be asked to interpret the
Esch -Cummins transportation act as
a result of the lcertification to the rail-
way labor board of a number of wage
disputes involving employees of cleo
trio railroads. The board has been
hearing arguments for two weeks on
the question whether or not it has
Jurisdiction under the act over such
lines.
A decision is not expected before
next week. The board cannot assume
Jurisdiction over wage questions of
electric railroad employees unless the
roads involved are part of steam line
systems. Representatives of the men
in several cases now pending before
the board maintain that the electric
lines, as feeders of steam railroads a-e
part of the steam road systems
The board ha; begun hearing the
cases of employees of more than 100
short line" railroads not covered by
wage decisions already handed down.
Each of the roads has insisted on a
separate hearing. Unofficially, mem
bers of the board indicate that the
wage schedules laid down in the
$500, 100000 award last July to the
employees of the big railroads will be
applied to many of the short lines.

PRESS CLUB MEETING TUESDAY
Complete Arrangements for Winter
Shows and Stunts.

Topeka Press club members will
hold their regular meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce TucsGAy night.
Plans for a business session, entertain
ment and customary midnight lunch
con have been made by officers of the
club.
Arrangements will be completed for
the midwinter shows and stunts to be
staged by club members. 1t is prob
able that the club will present its
Court of Political Aspirations''-a
burlesque of the court of industrial re-
lations-some time in November.
Lines of the show will be revised and
brought up-to-date. The original
show was given in Hutchinson last
spring before members of the State
Editorial association. Much water has
gone under the bridge since that time.
In consequence the newspaper men
will drag many new features into their
gridfron stunt. Other shows involving
problems and activities of public in
terest will be given during the winter.

NO RIOTS FEARED
Slim Fein Congress Has Urged
People To Be Quiet.
Death of MacSwiney, However,
Causes Tenseness in Ireland.

Cork, Oct. 25.xFeverish interest in
possible development caused by the
death of Lord Mayor MacSwiney of
this city, which occurred in Brixton
prison. London. this morning, is min
gled with the grief in which his death
has plunged South Ireland.
Altho the people appear stirred to
the highest degree of bitterness. it is
regarded as extremely improbable that
there will be any outbreaks or diSord-
erly demonstrations in this city. 1t is
expected, however. there will be a con-
siderable extension and intensif1cation
of guerrilla warfare against the police
and military force which anticipating
reprisals, are doubling their vigilance,
especially in remote districts.
Cork Jail, where a number of hum
ger strikers are in a grave condition,
IS guarded inside and out by soldiers
equipped with machine guns. There
is an exceptionally large garrison here.
1t is equipped for any eventuality, has
number of tanks and armored cars
and is ready for instant service. Mill
tary forces are so strong that it is con-
sidered improbable that any attempt
at force will be made here.
1t is understood the Irish parliament
had been making appeals to all ele-
ments of the population to refrain
from violence. This is also believed
to be the policy of various influential
leaders of the Sim Fein movement,
Whether such counsels will be fol-
lowed by younger element or by mem
bers of the Irish republican brother
hood. one of~the most militant of Irish
secret societies, remains to be seen

Episcopal Bishop Declares Present
Campaign One of Undertaking
and Recriminatfon.

St Louis. Oct 25.-Bisnop Charles
H. Brent of the Episcopal diocese of
western New York, in a sermon yes
terday at Christopher church cathe-
dral, declared that the present politi-
cal ca mpaign lis conspicuous for its
sordidness. its undertaking and mutual

Bishop Brent was chaplain general
of the American Expeditionary forces.
He came to st. Louis to assist in con-
ferring honor medals upon chaplains
of the Disciples of Christ who served
in the war.
Referring to the need in these times
of Christian fidelity, the bishop de-
clared America is no longer a Chris

the department of commerce which
showed that in 1916 the total member
ship of the 202 different religious or
ganizations in the country was A.

ALLEN IN A GUESS
Harding in Kansas by 100000,
Governor States.
State Ticket VIII Run Close
Behind, He Believes.

Senator Warren G. Harding will
carry Kansas by more than 100, 600
and the Republican state ticket will be
but a shorts distance behind, according
to Governor Henry J. Allen, who is
spending the day in Topeka. The gov
ernor declined to estimate his own ma
jority. but asserted he would carry
Bourbon county-home of Jonathan
M. Davis. his opponent-by a large
vote.
The governor has campaigned in
every congressional district in Kansas.
Following his speech in Topeka to-
night he will leave for a final drive
for votes. He has not spoken in Craw-
ford county. home of Alexander How
at. No Allen meetings will be held in
the county during the campaign.
From such reports as / have gath
cred Senator Harding will defeat Gov
ernor Cox in Kansas by more than
100. .000," said the governor. Senator
Curtis and the Republican state ticket
will be but little behind"
Governor Allen expressed the belief
that he would probably finish behind
Harding in the state, but indicated
that he expected a majority of 5000
to 100000 for the entire ticket below
president He declined to make a def
mite forecast as to his individual can
didacy.

Topeka Cartoonist May
Help English Politics
Albert T. Reid Asked To Carcature Next Prediction
Campaign In England. His Work Gains Nation
Wide Interest.

Albert T. Reid. widely known To-
peka artist and cartoonist, may go to
England to caricature the next Eng
lish prediction campaign. He has
been urged by a. member of the British
nobility to go abroad as soon as the
presidential campaign closes and to
cartoon the issues confronting England
in her next general election
Reid's work for the Republican na-
tionaI committee during the last year
has attracted more than nationwide
interest. The originality and terrific
force of his cartoons have brought
thousands of favorable comments to
the national committee and a flood of
praise to the cartoonist himself.
An International interest in Reid's
work was shown when more than 25
English magazines reproduced the To-
pekan's cartoon of Columbia bidding
goodbye to the Prince of Wales. Since
that time persons active in English
politics have watched Reid's work.
Recently representatives of English
political organizations were sent to the
United States to gather close up ideas
on American political organizations
and activities. One of these repre-
sentatives recently called on Reid and
pressed the matter of his going over
seas to depict campaign activities with
his pen sketches.

TO LET OUT JUDGE WARK?
Democratic Charge That Allen VIII
Appoint Cecil Howes to Court.

Ashland, Kan, Oct. Ex-Governor
Allen is to displace Judge George w.
Wark as a judge of the court of in
dustrial relations, according to claims
by L. L. Taylor, of Dodge City. can
didate for state senator against SEN
ator Francis c. Price. Taylor asserted
that Governor Allen plans to remove
Judge Wark at the end of his first
year as a member of the new court
and to name in his stead Cecil Howes,
Topeka correspondent for the Kansas
City Star and Times. Taylor urged
that if the court is to be maintained
that at least majority OF the judges
should be lawyers.
Numerous reports have been cur
rent in state house and political cir
cles since the outbreak of the indus
trial court row. Judges Higgins and
Wark are known to have flatly re-
fused to follow Judge Reeds leader
ship in a number of matters. They
also broke with Governor Allen, Judge
Reed and Fred Trigg when they re-
fused to appoint Charles Holorook as
an investigator for the court. Hol-
brook was the Kansas City Stars can
didate for the legislature and was de-
feated in the wyandotte county pri-
maries.
That Judge Wark is to be displaced
next winter is the general impression
among persons IN touch with state
house affairs. Judge Wark served as
state senator from Montgomery coun-
ty and won medals for distinguished
service overseas.
Cecil Howes today denied any such
contemplated action vn the part of
Governor Allen so far as his appoint
ment was concerned.
''It is political bunk" he said.

IN SUPREME COURT BAN ON FUTURES
Governor VIII Ask Legislature
to Enact New Law.
He Directs Action Against Food
Speculation.

Trading in futures will be under the
ban in Kansas if the next legislature
enacts a law to be recommended in
January by Governor Allen. In carry
ing out his fight gainst the boards of
trade, the Kansas governor proposes
to direct action against food specuIa-
tions in his home state
II IS probable that Governor Allen

lature shortly after the election. Pas

would close bucket shops and boards
of trade in Topeka, Wichita, Hutchin-
son, Salina, Dodge City, Great Bend
and other market centers of the state
1t would make illegal speculation in
futures of necessities.
shall certainly ask the legislature
to pass law against gambling in f,l-
turFs in this state" Governor Allen
told newspaper representatives at a
conference in his office today "I will
ask for law, which will close the
bucket shops and other places of gam
bling in necessities in Kansas" The
governor said the proposed enactment
would also affect boards of trade in
this state
Until the measure is definitely out
lined, do not want to go into Details"
said the governor. He then added that
information is being secured showing
comparative records of trading in
grains.
When this information is COM
piled" Governor Allen continued, sit
will show that the recent slump in the
wheat pit was not due to legitimate
tradins-the actual buying and selling
OF grain-but was brought about by
ruthless spectators and manipulators.
This form of gambling has cost the
farmers of Kansas millions Of dollars" t"
Recently Governor Allen urged an
investigation of the board by Presi-
dent Wilson. The governor has de-
clared open war on the board-par-
ticularly in Chicago. If the govern
ment does not act, tho, Governor Al
len proposes to take the initiative in
Kansas. The effect of such action in
this state is problematical. Boards of
trade are now maintained in many of
the grain market centers and milling
points in Kansas. A move to drive
these boards out of business will
doubtless bring before the legislature
one of the biggest rows of the session.
i Farmers are apparently divided in
their support of the board. During
the recent conference with Herbert
Hoover many of the farmers in the
meeting expressed feeling that well
regulated trading center was needed
and that speculation in futures was
advisable. Governor Allen, however,
has Joined the opposition which urges
restriction of market activity to legiti-
mate trading

CAN'T GET OFF TICKET
CoffeyvilIe MayoraIty Candidate De-
nicd Right to Withdraw From Race.

nicd hfSht to Withdraw From Race.
1t isn't such an easy think TO get
into politics and get right out after
all. The supreme court has held that
George B. Smelling. nominee for
mayor of Coffeyville, coulden't with
draw from the ticket at this late date.
Smelling was a candidate for nomi-
nation in the mayoralty fight in
August. Coffeyville and several other
towns nominate a mayor in the genar-
al primaries and election is held in
November. Under the decision of
Coffeyville voters Smelling was select
ed to oppose Henry II. Deichler. re-
Gently ousted by the supreme court as
mayor of the town.
After his nomination Smelling sought
to withdraw from the ticket. The
Good Government club wanted to SUBJ
stitute the name of Ralph II. Brown
for mayor. Carl Potteck. city clerk,
refused TO change the name of the
nominee and the matter was checked
up to the supreme court.
In an order the court held there is
no provision under the law affecting
the mayoralty nominations in Cof-
feyville which would enable Smelling
TO withdraw. In consequence his namo
will go on the ballot whether he wants
the election or not. Under this de-
cision a candidate for mayor must de-
eide whether he wants the job before
he seeks the nomination.
