ITS JUST A LITTLE 'sHENRY."
But FORD Car Was Subject of Hot
Suit Here Today.

The same Ford car which struck
and killed Mrs. Anna Donnelly at Fifth
and Kansas avenues last winter. was
the subject of a hotly contested law
suit in the court of Topeka today.
The Paramount Creamery company
OF Omaha, Neb., claimed the machine
was stolen in that city last fall. 1t
was owned by E. B. Kellam of Topeka.
Judge Rad NJ. Lee decided in favor of
obliged to return the car to the Fair
mount Creamery company.
Kellam testified he purchased the
car from Sergt William Kelly of the
police force. Kelly purchased the ma
chine from Elisha Scott, Topeka at
torney. Elisha Scott defended Walter
Monroe, owner and driver of the ma
chine when it struck and killed Mrs.
Donnelly. Monroe stood trial in dis
trict court on a charge of manslaugh-
ter. After. the trial Scott became
got the car is not known. Who will
finally pay for the car Kellam was
obliged to turn over is still another
unsolved problem.
There is another lawsuit for which
this Ford is responsible. The husband
of the late Mrs. Donnelly has filed a
suit in district court for $4,000
against the city of Topeka, the Topeka
Railway company and Walter Mon
roe. In the suit, Monroe is charged
with careless driving the night of the
accident; the Topeka Railway COM
pany is charged with careless piling
Kansas avenues. and. the city of To-
peka is charged with negligence in
not providing proper safeguards
around the bricks.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to judge of woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your
hair, remember that it is not advisab BILE
to wash the hair with any cleanser
made for all purposes, but always use
some good shampoo. You can enjoy
the very best by getting some can
throx from your druggist, dissolve a
teaspoonful in a cup OF hot water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid.
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead of just the top of the
head Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
our hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is It's
Iuster and softness WI also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

Soldiers Patrol City.

Leavenworth, Kan, April 90
Frank Connors, patroiman, has been
suspended at roll call at the Leaven-
worth police department, a provost
guard of soldiers from the Fort Leav-
enworth command was established in
this city and raids were conducted
right and left on gambling dens, all the
result of charges preferred by Maj.
Charles B. Stone, recreation and edu-
cation officer, who announced that
the Fort LeavenWorth military au-
thorities have decided to take drastic
steps in order that soldiers may come
to LeaVenworth without being enticed
into gambling places"
Connors's suspension came immedi-
ately after he was identified by Capt.
E. M. Landrun1, who had been de-
tailed to intelligence duty. The army
officer declared Connors, in full uni

enworth dive. The suspended patrol

The guard has been instructed to pa
troll the city under directions of the
Leavenworth police chief.
Thomas Hogan was the first man
placed under arrest following investi-
cations of Major Stones charges The
warrant for his arrest was sworn out
| by Captain Landrum, the officer to
whom Hogan admitted, it is alleged,
| that Sergt. Michael Lucas lost $500 in
| his place on the night previous to the
supply sergeant's suicide. An investi-
! eating board found that Sergeant Lu-
cas- committed suicide April 6, because
of shortage in company funds. Pro-
prietors of two alleged gambling re-
sorts in this city were also placed UNI
der arrest last night.
| Among others taken into custody
as the result of raids up on alleged
gambling resorts is Andrew Curry,
who until very recently was a MEM
Der of the Leavenworth police depart
ment. When Major Stone appeared at
police headquarters, both Mayor Davis
and the police chief, Lewis Young,
expressed a willingness to cooperate
with the military authorities.

OVERALL CRAZE SPREADS HERE
High School Boys Brave Faculty
Frowns and Wear I'm.

Enthusiasm for the blue denim gar
ments has broken out among high
school boys to the extent that more
than one hundred were wearing over
alls today. Altho the wearing of over
ais was not forbidden at the high
school, the movement was not encour-
aged by Principal Cook and faculty
members. who thought the purchase
of overalls by high school boys would
be more of an extravaganza than a
saving.
In the procession of students from
one of the high school buildings an
observer not understanding the overall
movement might have thought that a
number of the boys were wearing uni
forms in keeping with mechanical or
agricultural courses. Bingham dresses
are in evidence among the high school
girls. but springtime is the reason,
rather than economy. Fl ~
IT'S a cinch we're going to wear
overalls." one enthusiastic member of
/ the H. S. o. club said this morning.
Y on see we fellows most have to be-
cause we can't afford new clothes and
our old ones are wearing out. Then
any fellow enjoys being able to loaf
on the steps or other dusty places
without having to think of being care
full of clothes"
The manual training instructors, J.
Hoehner and A. H. Winters, are ultra
fashionable for they were easily the
first ones on the high school to be
noticed wearing overalls. In fact, they
have worn them at their work for sew
eral years. Fashion, practicability and
economy are happily combined for
them, they consider.
Attempts were being made today
to organize an overall CLUB in the Of
flee of the auditor of disbursements at
the Santa Fe. 1t was agreed that
when fifty signers had been obtained
the members will don the denim So
far eighteen names had been obtained.
The telegraph department is 100 per
cent denimized.
A member of the jury in Judge
George H. Whitcomb's division of the
district court appeared in overalls this
morning
