PASS FORGED CHECKS?
1t Is Believed Raymond Merritt and
Claude Pool Are Implicated.

Have Claude Pool and Raymond
Merritt. who were arrested Tuesday
after Merritt had evaded pursuit for
ten months following the discovery of
a shortage at the Grove State bank.
been cashing forged checks in Topeka
since they have been in hiding here?
1t is believed, police officers say,
that the two men are the ones who
have presented and cashed checks
signed with the names of A. L. Stone
and the Jordan Electric company's
firm name, as we'll as others, recently.
One of the checks was cashed at To-
cal clothing store, and the other at a
billiard hall. The proprietor of the
clothing store identified Merritt this
morning as the man who cashed the
check at his place. and the pool hall
man was quite positive that Pool had
passed the check at his place. No
warrants have been issued late today
for the two men men on these latter
charges.
The checks which were cashed were
really works of art in that line, having
been put thru a check protector and
made to look good enough to get their
value in legal tender without question.
1t was said today that a warrant was
to be issued for Pool on the charge of
having aided and abetted Merritt in
evading pursuit but the warrant was
not issued late this afternoon.

Norton, Kan, Nov. 1o.-An unsuc-

Over Labor Troubles.

Contracts, He Says.
PREDICTS ACTION BY CONGRESS-
Federal Industrial Law Is Com

GOmpers VIII Bluff 1t Out Now,
Allen Believes.

Kansas need have no fear of an
open shop war, according to Governor
Allen. The governor believes the in
dustrial court act may be invoked in a
manner that will safeguard contracts
and protect both the industrial organ
izations and labor unions from serious
differences. He said today that the
present unrest would meet a solution
in ultimate passage of federal indus
trial court law.
The governor does not believe
threatened industrial troubles will oc-
casion serious unrest in the nation.
Many states. he said, would this win
ter seek relief thru passage OF a law
similar to the one written in Kansas
last winter. ltimately-pfobably in

Staying of Brother by Brother
Result of Quarrel.
Another Brother Died Under
Mysterious Circumstances.

Mcpherson, Kan, Nov. 10.-The
killing of Claude Young, Window,
Kan, farmer by his brother. Delbert,
on a lonely road last Sunday night,
said to have been the climax of long
recalls to Mcpherson county the fact
that another of the Young brothers,
John. died under mysterious circum-
stances three years ago. Now suspi-
cion for the death of John has turned
to Delbert.
In the fall of 1917, John Young.
the youngest of the brothers, was
found dead from a gunshot wound in
a pasture near the spot where Claude
Young, his brother, was killed by Del
bert Sunday night.
Admits Murder Charge.
AItho the coroner's jury in the first
case found that the shooting was eth
er accidental or that the youth had
committed suicide, the neighborhood
is not slow in taking up this case and
discussing it in connection with Claude
Young's death. The death of both
young men was caused by a shotgun.
Delbert Young, as calm as when he
gave himself up to county authorities,
remains in Jail today, having waived
his preliminary hearing. His case will
come up in the December term of the
district court. At his arraignment to-
day, he admitted having killed his
brother, but claimed self defense, en-
tering a formal plea of not guilty.
Young steadily maintains he shot
only after his brother had thrown a
hammer at him when the two men
met on a road near his home Sunday
night The feeling is running high in
the vicinity of Window, however.
All day yesterday and today groups
of men gathered here to discuss the
killing and view the body at a local
understanding esta ablishment. 1t was
apparent that only. the presence OF
mind of a few cool headed men pre-
vented the feeling from taking violent

Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 10.-The

the eleven new National league club
owners in a peace conference in Chi

George w. Miller. attorney for the
American league, accepting an invita-

effort to stretch the olive branch
across the breach separating the views
of big league owners.

voice that will restore sanity in heads
of baseball officials" Miller said. I'VE
still want peace and not war. and we

the Others" he said.
Are Against War.
Millers sentiment against another
baseball war was echoed by American
and National officials alike. Both said
they were willing to do anything in
reason to settle the differences.
Minors Indifferent.
Minor leaguers agreed to receive
representatives of the big leagues after
an unsuccessful attempt to vote
against siding with either group.
The stand was taken, however, that
the fight would not be permitted to
smirck the harmony of the smaller
leagues and unless the majors, differ
ences are settled, the minors probably
will not affiliate with either faction.
The expected split IN the minors
ranks over league offices failed to ma

Doubt Expressed if Any Action
Will Be Taken.

day as a result of the reported muir
der of Capt. Emmett fitzpatrick,

Led raiders near Salvado station.
A dispatch from Sebastopol, head
quarters of the anti -Bolsheviki leader,
Baron Won Wrangel. said that Kill
patrick and two other Red Cross men
had been slain by Cossacks, believed
to be part of the command of Gen
erai Budenny, which took such a
prominent part in the operations
against Poland. The killings were
ties.
There was considerable doubt here
as to what action if any, might be
taken by the United States govern
ment. The American government
never has recognized the soviet
regime, but at the present time it is
permitting its nationals to trade with
the Bolsheviki al their own risk.
The immediate result of the report
of the raid on fitzpatrick and his -om-
pantcns was fear that other Red Cross
workers along the Russian front
would be, imperilled. The Red Cross
