HELD ON SLAVERY CHARGE
Elwood Parkinson Stayed With Effie
Moran of Dover.

Elwood Parkinson, 80, 430 Reno
avenue, Oakland, was arrested late
Friday afternoon by Hugh Larimer
sheriff and Bob Miller, undersheriff,
on a charge of white slavery preferred
against him by Miss Effie Moran of
Dover. Miss Moran bounced a 4-year-
old baby up and down on her knee in
the office of Hugh Fisher, county at
torney, as she told her story.
Miss Moran said she met Parkinson
at the Santa Fe station about two
weeks ago when he stalled her" and
it was only a short time after the
meeting until improper relations be-
gan. Miss Moran claimed that last
Saturday she and Parkinson went to
Burlingame and from there drove to
the Moran home near Dover: There
she stated, they announced that they
were married and stayed at the Moran
home.
Parkinson doesn't deny improper
relations with Miss Moran but says
she failed to object and, he claims,
she suggested the marriage story told
to her parents which aroused their
suspicious and ended with his arrest
Parkinson expressed a willingness
! to marry Miss Moran as soon as di-
vorce suit of his pending in district
court is disposed of by the judge.

Walkout in Sympathy With
Machinists Not Expected.
Think Trouble viii Be Settled
Thru Arbitration.
CLOSED SHOP ROW UNCHANGED
No Additional Machinists Out

Closed Shop Dispute Over

The closed shop controversy in To.
peka appeared to be about at a stand
still today. With the exception of the
Topeka Foundry and Iron Works.
where fifteen men walked ont Friday,
all machinists were reported at work.
Suggestions of a general strike in
sympathy with the mechanics were
not widely endorsed by either the en-
ployers or the men today. On the
contrary, the consensus of opinion
seemed to be that there will be no
general strike, unless perhaps the ma
chlnists eventually walk out in an eff
fort to make the employers sign the
new contracts, provided for a closed
shop and ten cents an hour increase in
wages.
The wage question does not seem to
concern the machinists as much as the
This leads to the general opinion that
the matter will be settled amicablv
and without resource to more than
arbitration. 1t is generally considered
by the saner element. which is greatly

ployers nor employees want big
strike in Topeka.
While it is very probable that in the
event of a walkout OF machinists other
organized crafts in the city would back
them morally and financially, a SYM
pathetic strike is regarded as most
improbable. AS long as the grievance
is not acute. 1t is pointed out. II Is as
much to the benefit of the employee to
remain a work as ii is to the employ
ers to have them.

Wheat Stacker
Schools Urged
ByJ G.. MohLer

Schools for wheat stackers were
urged today by J. c. Mohler, secretary
of the state board of agriculture. In
view of the fact that millions of
bushels of wheat will not be available
for market until transportation facili-
ties are improved. Mohler believes an
educational course in proper stacking
would mean the saving of large sums
to wheat growers.
II think it would be a splendid
PLAN" said Mohler, "if the older farm
ers who know how could be pressed
into service to teach the younger men
how to stack wheat
This is a period of uncertainty with
the wheat growers. They do not know
what the weather may be during the
harvest or whether the car shortage is
to continue. They do not know what
effect the big hang over of last year.
crop on account of the car shortage
will be, nor do they know what will
result from the com bined pool buying
by foreigners or the lack of a future
market.
1T is therefore only good business
judgment which would urge the farm
ers to be prepared for whatever may
happen and the proper storage of their
wheat, either in stacks or bins, is the
most obvious matter for present con-
sideration. Where possible, the grain
should be threshed and stored, but
there are so many cases where this is
J impracticable. that stacking offers the
only remaining solution.
ION the other hand. there is a great
dearth of able stackers among the
younger generation of farmers The
older generation numbered many men
who could build stacks that would
stand against the wind and thoroly
protect the grain against the rain. and
such stacks had the big advantage of
sweating the wheat and giving it a
better color and quality.
with the younger farmers this ex-
prience is not so common, and in the
present emergency, the older men

may be incapacitated for doing the
heavier work of the harvest. can do
yeomen service to both the wheat
raisers and the country at large. by

the matter. 1t is possible that in a

be one or more isolated pieces of mer-
chandise marked at higher price

has been our desire and intention to
comply with all government regula-
TONS"

Then Stella LYMAN pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to life Imprisonment at
Lansing.
Now three orphaned children are
to be cared for by the state as the re-
suit of the woman's crime. Myrtle
Bunch, aged 4 years; Mary, aged g.;
and Artie. aged II. are to go to the
state orphans home at Atchison. The
eldest of the nine Bunch children is
25 years old. None of the children
are financially able to care for the
younger orphans who are now to be
reared under state direction.
Applications for admission of the
three children to the Atchison home
came today from the Lincoln county

the war and the loss of the men who
support families, girls who had
without a chaperon are being forced
to seek employment. OF course they
cannot take a chaperon to work and
the French chaperon system is weak

Lucky to Marry Americans.
French girls who married Ameri-
can soldiers were considered awfully
lucky in France. For the American
soldiers did not expect the French
girls to have a marriage portion or
dowry. Every Frenchman expects the
girl he marries to have a generous
marriage portion. and after marriage
he has absolute legal control over the
