PROBE IS ORDERED
Allen Does Not Believe Wheat
Growers Suffering, Tho.
Santa Fe to Get 1000 More
Cars, Judge Reed Told.

The legal department of the court
of industrial relations has been in
structed to make an investigation of
the charges that grain men are tax
ing advantage of the farmers who have
to sell their wheat now and also of
the charges that the elevators are be-
ing given preference over the farmers
in the matter of furnishing cars.
This was the announcement made at
the office of Governor Allen today and
it was said that, If there was any step
the state could take to better condi-
tions and stop alleged abuses. it would
be taken at once.
Governor Allen, however. was in
clined to discount the reports to the
effect that farmers were suffering to
any great extent because they were be-
ing forced to sell their grain and were
not being offered fair prices for it. He
said he believed most of the farmers
were well able to take care of them
selves and hold their wheat il they
wanted to do so.
"A few complaints have been re-
ceived at this office" he said, but
they have not been numerous and in
my trips over the wheat belts of the
state l have not found many Oom-
plants from the farmers along these
lines"
Prospect for improvement.
Prospects for an improvement in the
car situation were seen today in re-
ports received by Judge Clyde NJ. Reed
from the railroads. The Santa Fe no.
titled Judge Reed today that since his
appearance before the interstate COM
merce commission and the car service
commission at Washington, the road
had been notified that l. 500 additional
cars have been ordered turned over to
it by the eastern lines. The Santa Fe
report also stated that cars are now
being received at the rate of about 200
day, which is much better than has
been reported at any time recently
The Katy also reported to Judge
Reed this morning that it had received
$50 cars this week, a larger number
than it has had in some time. The
Katy has been having a harder time
getting cars than any other road IN
Kansas and the fact that it is getting
relief of this kind indicates that there
is hope that Reeds visit to Washing
ton and his straight-from-the-s
talk. backed up by facts and figures.
will be of real benefit to the farmers
and grain men of the state.

FINEST DAY OF The YEAR
That's FIora's Promise for Sunday
Two New Kansas Records.

Kansas established two low tempe-a-
ture records today. Hays City re-
ported a temperature of - at o'clock
this morning, 10 degrees above freez-
ing. and the lowest temperature in the
United States on this date. The low
mark here last night was 81. the low
est ever recorded in Topeka on this
date
sunday will be the finest day of the
year. according to the prophets The
temperature will go between IS and
go, with no chance for rain, and he
roads are in good shape for the motor
lists.
The only drawback on this kind of
weather is that Kansas corn cannot
grow in Colorado climate. But then,
it's fine growing weather for human
life.
The temperature at 10 o'clock this
morning was 6S and will not go higher
than S5 this afternoon. The low mark
tonight will be 65-
Kansas las had no rain in the last
twenty-four hours. The highest tenn
perature in Kansas in the last twenty
the highest in the United States 1O2 at
Phoenix, Ariz. The summer of 1920
is the first summer since. 1915 that the
temperature has not gone to 100 in
Kansas. The highest this summer was
SO, and in 1915 the high mark was
SO. Kansas has had nine summers in
her history that the 100 mark was not
reached. At II o'clock noon the wind
was blowing six miles an hour from
the northwest. Extremes for this
date were 100 in 1900 and 81 in 1920.

Kansas, Fighting Ground
OF Republican Campaign
Restore State to c. O. P Column Is the Battle Cry-To
Hear Practically All of "Star" Orators.

confident the state is to be restored to
the Republican column.
Just the same" Mulvane told Sena-
tor. Harry New. I'VE don't want any
lican and I am confident we are cpm-
ing thru with record majority for
Harding and Coolidge. But there
won't be any of the easy day idea in
the campaign"
Therein the national headquarters
received notice that any quiet sleep
which may be taken in Kansas will
be after the votes are counted in No
vember and not before the campaign
ends. Mulvane will personally direct
the fight in the congressional districts
and will work with State Chairman
Motter in the state wide campaign for
national and state tickets. The fact
that Mulvane has been on the firing
line for the national committee during
many previous campaigns has given
to the Kansan a recognition as an or
ganiZer. In consequence his stay In
Chicago was a busy one and he was
in frequent conference with heads of
the various departments
Await Party Councils.
No move is to be made TO conduct
an active national campaign in Kan
sas until after the party councils
August 81. Until that time there will
be no opportunity for organization of
the new state committee. AS soon as
the committee is ready to work. ar
rangements will be completed for the
campaign in the state. In the mean
time the national committee is max
ing selections from its list of $4,000
available orators and promises which
have gone to Mulvane, insure to the
state some of the best talent on the
list
It is the fact that Kansas lined up
in the Democrat column in 1912 and
again in 1916 that now inspires a
fighting spirit which may make the
state a battle scene rivalled only by
Ohio, New York and Indiana.

Both Parties Will Have Coun-
ellis in Topeka.
VIII Adopt State Platforms for
the Campaign.
IMPORTANT SPEAKERS COMING
Republicans Trying to Get Gov.
Edwin Morrow, Kentucky.
Democrats Lease Auditorium
for Night Mass Meeting.

Tuesday. August 81. will be big
politician day for Kansas and Kansas
politicians. BotR the Democratic and
Republican parties will hold their
party councils here on that day and
will elect chairmen and perfect their
state organizations. Also. they will
adopt their state platforms for the
coming campaign.
But the big attractions that will
bring political workers to Topeka
from all over the state will be the
after business sessions that will be
held. 1t has been announced from
Republican headquarters that an eff
fort will be made to bring Governor
Edwin Morrow. of Kentucky, here for
a speech. and c. J. Peterson, secretary
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee. announced today that the Dem
rats had leased the auditorium for the
night of the thirty-first and will put
on one of the biggest Democratic ral-
lies ever seen in Kansas.
DR.. Burris Jenkins, of Kansas City,
has agreed to come as the principal
speaker for the Democrats, and on the
program there also will be Col. Sam
r. Amidon. national committeeman;
Jonathan NJ. Davis. candidate for gov
ernor; and Ralph T. O'Neil. candi-
date for attorney general. A band
also has been engaged for the even
ing, Peterson said.
= Chairmen To Be Reelected.
It is believed that both H. H. Mot
ter. Republican chairman, and Forest
Luther. Democratic chairman. will be
reelected without opposition. Both
men have devoted much of their time
to the state organization work and are
in better position to direct the cam
paign than any other men who could
be put in their plaes. it is argued.
c. J. Peterson, who has acted as
secretary of the Democratic organiza-
tion for the last two years, has indi-
Gated that he does not desire a re-
election. but his friends are going to
insist that he consent to serve another
term.
The Party Platforms.
It is generally understood that the
Republican platform will contain an
endorsement of the new industrial
court and also will seek to have the
party line up behind the three consti-
tutional amendments, passage of
which Governor Allen is urging. On
the other hand. the Democrats are ex-
pected to particularly condemn the eff
fort of Governor Allen to have a farm
tenantry amendment adopted. and
there is a strong probability that d
slap will be taken at the industrial
court legislation.

day as a result of the interest taken in
them by the Foster Humane society

The society investigated cases of
cruelty toward or neglect of the 26l

condition of the children greatly i'm
proved. Fifty of the children were
colored and eighteen of them Mexi-
cans Twenty-Five of the cases involv-
ing forty-seven children were brought
before the judge of the Juvenile court.
More than a hundred sick and in
firm persons were helped by the So

maurs King. agent. Nearly twenty
five cases of cruelty to animals were
handled by the society. Beating, over
work and neglect of horses, mistreat-
ment of dogs, cats and chickens were
Investigated and reported by the work
ers in the society. One man was fined
$40 for beating his horse with ham,
mer.
Thru the Foster Humane society
seven men were brought into court for
criminal relations with girls.

Financial Wizard and Three
Imitators Without Bonds.
Ponzi Told Wife "Out of Town
for the Week End"
BONDSMAR CHANGED MIND
Ii He Arranges Bond He'll Face
an Additional Charge.
Home, Blue Auto and Clothes
All Left of His Fortune.

Boston. Aug. 14,-The financial
ship that has been piloted by Charles
Ponzi was high and dry on the rocks
! today and federal and state officials
made determined efforts to salvage
the cargo of millions of dollars en-
trusted to Ponzi by thousands of in
vestors in his 80 per cent in three
months"
This morning Ponzi ate his break
fast in the Middlesex county Jail in
United States government in default
of $4,000 bonds.
Spent Night in Jail.
Ponzi. acclaimed as a financial
genius a week ago, today could not
find a friend to go on his bond.
Ponzi spent last night in Jail. : 1t
was no new experience for him. He
was behind the bars for twenty
months in a Montreal prison and spent
two years more at Atlanta federal
penitentiary.
His Bond Withdrawn.
His arrest followed withdrawal of
the security placed by bondsmen. In
case Ponzi should raise sufficient
money to meet his bail, he would face
immediate rearrest on additional
charges of larceny and an additional
large sum would be required for Sc
curity.
Ponzi's wife did not know he was in
Jail. When he left his home he told
her he was going out of town for the
weekend.
Three Others In, Too.
In other cells in the same Jail with
PonZi, three men alleged imitators of
the Ponzi method, spent the night
, They were heads of the Old Colony
Foreign Exchanges company, which
was started when officials closed the
doors of Ponzis- business. They were
unable to put up the $4,000 bail de-
manded.
The men held were: Charles NJ.
Brightwell, president; Raymond c.
| Myers. trcsurer. and Frederick Myers,
manager.
Extra Strong Guard.
An extra strong guard was being
kept around the jail in order to pro-
tect Ponzi from threats of mob vio-
lence from persons who invested in
| his get-rich-quick scheme.
The only property he retained from
the crash was his famous blue auto
