Topekor, Finds
Secret Cellar
Under His Home

In these days of high rents and
scarce living accornm odations the
average Topekan has made the best
of the attics and store rooms But it
is up to Morris Milan, 3S4 Fillmore
street. to discover big room plastered
and in shape to use for storage pur-
pose. at least. beneath his home
Last night Milan crawIed under the
floor of his home hunting for the
course of a gas, pipe. The basement
was dug only Under one-half of the
bungalow. After he had crawled
about ten feet he fell headlong into
what seemed to him for the fraction
of a second, a bottomiess pit He
landed. on a smooth floor Lighting
matches he found that he was in a
plastered basement, dry and in a clean
and sanitary condition.
In one corner he found a bank pass

on the outside cover. He found sew
eral cfildren's playthings. a variety
of towels and a pair of shoes, in good
condition.
The house was built several years
ago and no one seems to know the
reason for the secret cellar.
At any rate in these days of home
brew and hootch and scarcity of room
it does not appear inopportune that
a stroke of luck should fall upon some

Inauguration of President Obregon.
"A wonderful trip into a wonderful

given out by Col. Charles L. Mitchell,
when, in company with william D.

at their home in Columbus.
The special train carrying represent
tatiyes of ten states, who had been
the guests of the Mexican government
during. the inaugural ceremonies, left
Mexico City Monday morning, and
Mitchell and Wolfe have been travel
ing ever since.
The train was not provided with
any military escort on the way to
Mexico City, nor as far as Monterey
on the return, but. it was evident from
the troops massed along the line that
1t was being closely waehed from Mon
terey to the American border where
the line runs thru very mountainous
country, and where a holdup by ban
dts, such as had been tipped Off to
the Mexican officials, could easily have
occurred.

courteous treatment from the Next
