CA|LLhUX SENTENCE 70 INCLUDE FIVE
 YEARS BAN!SKME:NT l
They Feared Me as Popular Corpse, Says Former
 Premier

Paris April 23.--Joseph Caillaux former premier of France, tonight in the Neuilly hospital listened to the reading of the sentence of the senate which, sitting as high court 'of justice, yesterday convicted him of "commerce and correspondence With the enemy"
 Three years imprisonment, five years forced resident in a town se- lected by the minister of the interior and ten years loss of political rights, the latter clause carrying with it in- ability to vote or to hold office, was the sentenced imposed.
 The document was read by a court officer sent to the hospital for the purpose, after it had been promul- gted before the senate tonight by Leonard Burgeois, the presiding of ficer. Caillax was not present in the senate chamber at the time.
 The prisoner made no comment af- ter the official made known the con- tents of the document, but his face showed signs of deep sadness. Ask ed by the newspaper men present whether he desired to make state ment, Caillaux replied:
 q shall be at your disposal tomor- row or the next day, when I am re- leased"
 The question when Caillaux is to be freed requires intricate figuring to decide, for allowance has to be made for the time that he has been under restraint in prison and at the hospital. The prisoner was in jail for twenty seven months and this time, added to the period he has been in the hospital, according to his par tisans, constitute the service of the full term of Imprisonment by the senate.
 The decision not to bring Caillaux before the senate tonight provoked rumors that he would be released during the night. Earlier in the day Caillaux had said his enemies "feared a live corpse"

HITCHCOCK YIELDS
 SENATE H0N0RS 10
 OSCAR UNDERWOOD
Withdrawal is Made as it Will C0nduce Towards Mar
 nlOny

Washington April 23-senator Hitchcock of Nebraska withdrew to- night from the race for democratic leader of the senate, thus virtually assuring the selection of Senator Underwood of Alabama at the demo- cratic conference called for Tues day night.
 Senator Hitchcock's s announcement was made in letter to senate dem- ocrats He said his withdrawal from the fight would conduce to democratic harmony and would ac- cord with his individual plans, which would not permit him during the re- mainder of the year to undertake the work of minority leader which de- volved upon him with the retirement from the senate of the late Senator Martin of Virginia.
 The withdrawal of the Nebraska senator breaks the deadlock which developed at the party conference January 15, when the first effort was made to select a successor to Sena- tor Martin.
 'l now desire to terminate this deadlock" wrote Senator Hitchcock, land hereby withdraw my name from
 
 democratic harmony and will accord with my individual plans which will not permit me, during the remainder of the year, to undertake such con- tinuous service in the senate as have had during the past 12 months" :"
 Senator Hitchcock's' friends ex- plained the presidential campaign would take the senator away from Washington at frequent intervals and that aside from this he would make freuuent visits to his summer home in Massachusetts and would not, con- sequently desire the responsibility minority leadership.
 Senator Hitchcock has been the democratic leader throughout the long treaty fight and it was explicitly stated at the white house and by Senator Underwood that irrespective of the outcome of the election for leadership he would continue as the administration spokesman should the treaty fight be renewed.

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1920-03-09

Spring moving in Topeka surely will
be accelerated when the women vot-
ers going to the city hall to register.
begin to take cognizance OF the wall
map which City Clerk CoVell has hung
in her office.
This map shows all the newborn
precincts as we'll as those which have
sprouted whiskers and each is beauti-
fully colored to keep it from getting
too familiar with its neighboring sub
division. These colors include teddy
pink, orange, pea green, orchid and
lack ra bbit brown.
AS one enters the door and walks
up to the counter. this beautiful SYM
postum of delicate shadings inspires
within one an eXhilaration that no
brand of 2.75 can produce. Most per-
sons. to the great dismay of the clerks,
seem possessed of an uncomfortable
desire to draw their fingers across the
map, and pull off the letters of the
streets neatly pasted thereon.
Women look up their own homes on
this map and if they are especially
fond of orchid and find themselves in
a precinct colored green there is
usually something doing in the other
wise quiet halls of the city building.
That's why it is probable there will be
more than the usual amount of spring
moving.
There is one part of the city where
a street does not form the dividing
line between precincts. The "Douthitt
line" is an imaginary line extending
from Jackson street to Western ave-
nue. between Fourteenth street and
Douthitt avenue. 1: divides the sixth
and seventh precinct of the Third
ward on the north from the sixth pre-
cinct of the Fifth ward on the south.
The line passes directly between house
numbers 1915 and 1417 on the north
and 1918 and 1919 on the sou-h on all
To 81
In one case the line PASSES directly
thru n house. so that the family eats
their meals in the Fifth ward and
sleeps in the Third.
