ESCAPES FROM COURT HOUSE.
Negro Walks Out of County Attorneys
Office and Is Still Walking.

The desire for liberty was strong
within Fred Choteau, a negro charged
with forgery. this morning, and while
no one was looking he walked out OF
the county attorneys office.
Choteau had been in the county Jail
for several days. Two or three times
he had been brought to the court of
Topeka for a preliminary hearing,
which was continued for various rea
sons. This morning he was brought
into court of Marshal Frank Leech,
waived his preliminary hearing and
was taken downstairs.
Leach took him in the county attor-
ney's office and told him to wait a mo-
ment while he went to another part of
the building. While employees in the
office had their backs turned. Choteau
disappeared and is still among the
missing.

C. OF C. TO AID IN CENSUS.
Make Sure No One Is Overlooked II
Final Count, Is Aim.


Action to assist in. securing an abb
soIutely accurate census of Topeka was
taken today by the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce
In a brief talk, Ralph O'Neil. in
charge of the census work here,
pointed out that contrary to tie gem
era1 impression. the work here was not
completed Altho the time is up,
O'Neil stated, thru special arrange
ments the work would be continued
until all names had been listed. The
enumerators have not yet begun to
work in many neighborhoods from
which he is receiving calls. However,
it is best to be on the safe side If one
believes he has been missed from the
census. a record should be mailed to
O'Nein at 212 New England building,
or phone 4931.
A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce to assist O'Neil in any way
possible was appointed by Elmer F.
Strain, president. The committee fol-
lows: c. L. Mitchell. j. H. Bennett, F.
o. Morns. H. Fl. Lewis and G. L. Bybee.
1t is probable that much larger COM
mittee win be worked out on a pre-
cinct basis and then into smaller divi-
sions to effect the work.

DELAYS CAR CHANGE
Patton Blames Weatlier-Improve-
ments May Be Made Soon.

Severe winter weather has prevented
a re-routing of Topeka's street car
system, Albert NJ. Patten. assistant
general manager of the Illinois Trac-
ton Co. said today.
The extremely early winter, accord
ing to Patten, prevented the street car
company from making the necessary
changes. involving tearing up of streets
and laying of new tracks On Novem-
Der IS. following an ultimatum from
Mayor Herbert J. Corwine to the eff
feet that, unless the street car COM
pany ''came to time" the public utili-
ties commit ssion would be appealed to,
Patten promised to make some i'm
provements in service. Recruiting of
cars and relief for Oakland patrons
were chief among these.
Patten said the Country Club cars
would run to the Santa Fe station in
stead of to Gage Park, shortening this
long run" The County Club cars
still bump along out Gage Park way.
The re-routing program also included
running Washburn-D outhitt cars to
the State Hospital instead of to North
Topeka. The Shorey stub" line was

South Topeka line.
Patten said that the rerouting
changes will be made as soon as the
weather permits.

that could be run over that line were
the little, single truck cars; that. IN
fact, the traffic over this line at any
other than rush hours would not even
keep these busy.
get some new cars this year. None
came this way. last year. altho Wichita
got over thirty. Patten admitted that
some of the cars in Topeka were
pretty "shoddy'' but said they had too
much good material il them to be
iunked yet The traction manager
would not give out the new car pro-
gram, saying that it all hinged on the
Illinois Traction company's success
in getting loans
The traction business, Patten said,
is in a very critical condition all over
the country. 1t is being run entirely
on a credit basis, the revenues not
being sufficient to meet the operating
expenses, he asserted, Asked If the
six-cent fare had not smoothed out
this difficulty, Patten said that ex-
penses had increased CORRESPONDENCE
and that the company would not come
out any better this year than last,
which was a very bad year for trac-
ton interests, due to the influenza
epidemic and labor conditions.
Patten asserted that his company
was giving Topeka the best service

Bryan, in his fight to win control of

following tactics made famous by
Woodrow Wilson. The development
of his campaign was being watched
with ever growing interest by political
observers here today.
Being unable to make any impress

officials in his efforts to get the peace
treaty ratified and keep it out of the
campaign, Bryan is going direct TO the

Hard ON Spectators.
Spectators today are beginning to
experience the effects of a blow dealt
them by the government yesterday thru
the federal reserve board. When fed
eraI reserve banks opened this morn
ing in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia, the nations money centers,
very high rediscount rates were quoted
to other banks seeking loans. The re-
discount rates were marked up In an
order issued by the federal reserve
board here late yesterday. They rep
resent a general advance of nearly
fifty per cent over the rates in effect
six months ago.
These new high rates are intended
to discourage extensive borrowings
from federal reserve banks, board Of
ficials said. If they fail to produce
this effect soon the rates will be
marked up again. it was promised.
The high rates virtually marx the
end of artificial stimulation of the
financial markets by the government
as a part of its war policy, according
to officials. This stimulation was
blamed for high prices.
Unless bankers act today in Chi
oago, the effect of the governments
step in marking up discount rates will
be nullified. according to officials
here. Bankers can get money from
sources other than federal reserve
banks by marking up their own inter
egt ratas
