SCIENTISTS CANNOT LOCATE
SPANISH INFLUENZA GERM
Professor Rivers Of Hopkins Uniyer-
sity says This Bacillus Flourishes
in Bodies OF Healthy Persons.

One of the most desperate muir
dererS in the history of the world is
at lGrcc. and scientists thus far have
been unable to locate him. according
TO a Boston dispatch. This terrible
truth was brought out by Professor
T. NJ. Rivers of John Hopkins Hos
pital, Baltimore. who addressed the
society of American bacteriologists in
annual convention al the Massachu-
sets Institute OF Technology.
This criminal is the germ respon-
sible for influenza, according TO Pro-
fessor Rivers.
According TO statistics presented by
Professor Rivers in 1908. certain
bacillus was identified and classified
as an influenza bacillus. but il has
been found that the germ 1ourishes
in the bodies of perfectly healthy In
dividuals. while others, stricken with
influenza. are not visited by the germ.
The theory now is that an organism
so small that eludes the most pow
erful microscope. is the real culprit,
and. furthermore. scientists declare
that the human eye Is so constructed
that Il will probably never see
through a microscope the actual gull
ty germ which has slain many thou
sands in influenza epidemics.

END CUSTER FRIDAY
II. ID. MoIlohan of Santa F'e, n. NJ,
Was Principal Witness Today.

Financial operations in connection
with the purchase of a ranch in New
Mexico by Felix Broeker, principal
stockholder in the defunct Kansas
state bank of Salina, were brought out
today in hearing of the custer suit in
the supreme court against Walter E.
Wilson. state bank commissioner.
H. d. MolIohan of Santa Rosa, n.
M. testified that Broeker paid him
$25, 900 for one-fifth interest in the
ranch, for which he received a GER
tificate of deposit in the Salina bank,
Wilson informed him at the time, MoIs
lohan testified, that the certificate was
good and that the bank could pay out
in liquidation.
The purpose of the prosecution ap-
parently was to show that Wilson
knew of the insolvency of the bank but
informed creditors that it was solvent
and delayed closing it's doors. The
defense contends that Wilson used his
discretionary powers and endeayored
to straighten out its affairs
Mollohan's certificate, with four
others. is now the subject of litigation
in the supreme court to determine
whether or not they constitute a valid
claim on the state bank guaranty fund.
Hearing will be resumed after the
holiday tomorrow and probably will be
ended Friday. ]. NJ. Chaflis. Atchison
attorney, who is sitting as commits
sioner in the case, said today.

any time if the Blues are as close as
thirty-five yards to the goal line.
The Aggies have the heaviest team
and this may prevent Wykoff, the
star of the Washburn backfield. from
tearing up the Farmer line like he has

Mr.. Harding has taken an interest

known to believe it to be one of the
outstanding national assets as regards
foreign commerce. During the debate
in congress relative to the canal, the
problem of tolls for American ships
received his particular attention. his
strong conviction for free passage for
American ships having been expressed
many times. both in congress and in

TOpeka's Telephone Additions
to Begin Immediately.
Building $15O,OOO and Equip
ment $S5O,OOO at Once.
GIVE ENTIRE new SERVICE
Entire Improvement to Take
Next Fourteen Months,
Business Has Increased 35 Per
Cent in Last Six Years.

Expenditure of a million dollars for
new building and plant equipment in
Topeka in the next fourteen months
was announced Immediately following
the granting of the telephone rate in
crease. r. j. Benzel, general manager
of the Southwestern Bell company in
Kansas, stated that contract for the
new plant building on Jackson street
between Eighth and Ninth would be
let at once. The new building will
cost $125, 600 to S150,00O. Equipment
Will cost $500, 0O0 to $S50,000.
Plans for the overhauling of the
Topeka phone system were announced
by Benzel SINE time ago. The COM
pany will continue to occupy its pres
ent three-story plant building on Jack
son street. An addition of the same
height, 5CX15O feet, will be constructed
Immediately. The new building will
have foundations adequate for addi-
tional stories which will ultimately
house the office department. This
organization with it's 200 workers is
bank building.
New Plant service.
An entire new plant service for To-
peka will be provided by the Bell COM
pany, Benzel stated. Grounds have
already been cleared for the building
and plans were drawn some weeks ago
Letting of a contract was held up,
however, pending decision of the in
dustrial court in the phone rate case
| In event the company had been denied
iincreased revenues, it had planned to
suspend its building and improvement
project.
Work on the new building will be-
gin this winter The new structure
will be completed in the spring or
early summer. A period of several
months will be required to install new
plant equipment. The entire pro-
gram will cover a period fourteen
months. The new building will con-
the entire floor space of the two
buildings used to house the new op-
Grating department.
Business Increases Here.
Rapid growth of Topeka as tele-
phone center forced overhauling OF
the present properties. In the six
years from 1914 to 1920, the business
of the company in Topeka has in
creased SO per cent.
''At present the Topeka telephone
business ranks eighteenth among the
cities of more than $4,000 in the
United States" said Benzel 'The
growth in six years has amounted to
36 per cent. 1t has forced the pres
ent big program of more space and
new plant equipment We will spend
approximately a million dollars here
in the next fourteen months. Con-
tracts for the new plant building will
be let at once. This work was held
up, tho, because of uncertainty as to
the ability of the company to secure
additional and needed revenues from
it's local business"
