IN SUGAR WARNING
Fair Price Head Ordered to
Check Up Jobbers.
Dealers Must Not Charge Re-
placement Price, @. S. Ruling.

w. L. Kemper. chairman of the
Shawnee county fair price committee,
has received notice from Ed T. Hack
ney, state fair price commissioner, re-
questing that he examine the sugar
accounts of wholesalers to ascertain II
they are making more than the one
cent a pound profit allowed under the
ruling Of the United States attorney
general.
Hackney says that contrary TO this
rule it appears that many wholesalers
are charging replacement cost for su-
gar. The department of justice insists
that this practice must cease, he says
County committees are asked to re-
quest dealers for an affidavit showing
the amount of sugar purchased, the
cost, and amount received for it, in
case there is any doubt about the mar
gin. The committee is also asked to
investigate boarding.
THE large commercial canneries,
said Hackney, "are assisting in the
conservation of sugar at this time be
cause of shortage due to drouth and
war conditions, by canning in solid
pack and without sugar. It is very
necessary that all sugar be conserved
in order that the price may be held
as reasonable as possible and that the
supply may be sufficient to meet the
pressing needs"
The state agricultural college and
the department of agriculture will fur
nish free all necessary information IN
reference to canning products without
sugar or svrup. Hackney said.

Capper Repeats Demands.
Continuing his demands for action
by the government to improve the
sugar situation, Senator Capper today
issued a statement declaring this
years importation of sugar will exceed
last years by two billion pounds.
Therefore, he doubted that an ac-
tual shortage existed. He reiterated
his suggestion that sugar stocks
should be seized by the government
and rationed thru the postoffice if no
better way can be found.
"It is a government GUY when or
ganized nationwide plunder is going
on to step between the plunderers and
the people," said Capper. To-day or
ganized plunder, blind to the common
good has this land by the throat and

Brother and
Sister Welded

Another Since Infancy-Two Chill
dren Born to Them.

Milwaukee. May 15.-The strange
marriage of Edna Cooper to her own
brother, Richard, and the birth of two
children to them were revealed here
today when Judge Halsey ordered an
annulment.
Edna and her brother had been sep
arated since infants. They were both
wards of the state. They became ac-
quainted when Richard, under the
name of Arthur Lehman, came from
Omaha to Milwaukee and boarded at
the house where Edna stayed.
They were married August IT, 1917,
at Waukegan, ILL.,, not knowing they
were related.
Discovery that they were brother
and sister was made recently when
state authorities completed an investi-
cation of the marriage made because
Edna was under state care as an or
pfan. Richard was sentenced to serve
seven years in the state penitentiary,
under a state law. Edna was released
on probation.
Edna later attempted to gain the
freedom of her brother-husband by
filing an affidavit. claiming she was
the only child of an aged couple. She
was sentenced to the county Jail for
violation of her probation.
The children now are at the home
for dependent children. They are well
and normal officials saw.

against an army.
So closely did he watch all ap-

a few days ago he had been seen by
no one except his wife and a brother
in-law. Military authorities had
abandoned the search for Amerine.
Three weeks ago an attorney friend
OF the family became interested and
implored the wife to have her husband
return and give himself up. She
steadfastly held that her husband
would be shot if captured and refused
to have him return.

P. Improvement Program.

The F. B. Simms residence property
at 51S North Kansas avenue may be-
come the site of a new modern hotel
as the result of negotiations between
the owner and Kansas City interests.

The Kansas City men, according to
Simms, asked him to hold the deal in
allegiance for two weeks. which was
promised under certain conditions. 1t
is said the hotel men regard the
Simms property as a good hotel site
provided the Improvements are made
by the Union Pacific.
The Simms house now has eleven
large living rooms. These probably
will be added to in event the property
is purchased; the porches will be re-
moved and other improvements made.

Organized Labor in Kansas to
Root for Gompers.
Delegation to New York to Of
set Allen Special.
IROUSES INTEREST IN CASE
Supporters of Governor More
Anxious for Crowd.
GOmpers Wins Privilege The
Opening Closing Arguments.

Organized labor interests in this
state will send a delegation to New
York to root for Samuel Gompers in
his debate with Governor Allen. Kan
sas federation officials hope to offset
effects of the special train of Allen
boosters by sending a crowd of union
men who will support the head of the
American Federation of Labor. 1t is
not believed the labor interests will
seek to charter a special train.
Announcement today of plans of la
Dor union leaders to send a crowd to
New York favorable to Gompers, is
expected to kindle a new spirit behind
the movement for a special train for
Kansas friends of the industrial court
act. Gompers and the Kansas gov
ernor will debate the issues of the new
labor court law in this state. Friends
of the law and admirers of Governor
Allen will attend the debate. They
May 26. The arguments will be staged
IN Carnegie hall, New York City, Fri
day evening. May 28.
1t is probable that at least $50 per-
sons will go to New York on the KAN
sas special. Many of the friends of
York to Chicago to join in the milling
preceding opening of the Republican
national convention. A few friends
may accompany Governor Allen to
washington, Wnere ne Will appear be-
fore the senate labor committee. The
governor will tell the senate commit
tee of operations of the new Kansas
law.
Reports today were to the effect
that the State Federation of Labor
would back the move for a crowd of
Gompers rooters from Kansas. In
event the labor interests fail to char
ter a special train. they will probably
travel to New York on one or two
special Pullman sleepers.
Gompers Wins First Point.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, today
won the technical first round of the
Compensation debate when he drew
the privilege of opening and closing
the arguments in New York. Com
pers and Governor Allen, thru repre-
sontatives in New York. drew straws
for the privilege of opening and clos
ing the debate.
Under the present arrangement,
Governor Allen will be allowed a few
minutes for a summing up of the
Gompers argument following the labor
chiefs closing remarks. No agree
ment has as yet been reached con-
cerning the pronouncement of the sub
ject of discussion. The general de-
bate will cover the Kansas labor court
law and its operation.
J. H. Lee. president of the Kansas
Day club, stated today that more than

close reservations next week. The
train leaves Topeka Wednesday after
