strikingly illustrated by cable
gram under date of March 8 from
Warsaw, Poland which read as
follows:
Census shows two and one
half million Jews in extreme des-
titution. Premature death partly
due to exposure and lack of cloth
ing. Present child food allow
ance one third normal daily re-
uuirements. Feeding three hun
dred thousand Jewish children
Reaches half of hungry. Expect
ed closing of this agency on &C.
count of exhaustion of funds
This will be great catastrophe
Seventy per cent are undermined
in health. Mortality increases
Undernourishment makes impos'
sible to combat typhus and other
diseases. Dreadful typhus epi
demic affecting ninety per cent o1
population. Must have immedi
ately ten thousand tons of f1oul
monthly and other food stuffs il

least one million"
The condition of the children il
pitiable. One writer says of them
almost million innocen
children in Eastern Europe hav'
been robbed of their birthright
Their childhood is awry. Eve
since prattling baby days the.
have known only War. Peace t.

orphaned. None have known

OBJECT TO DANCE
Topeka Ministers Say Present
Dances Are Improper.
"Suggestiye Method of Dress"
Is Also Discussed.

The Suggestive method of dress Of
Topeka girls and the increasing de-
generation of tyles of dancing" came
under a hot attack by the membars
of the Protestant Ministerial Alliance
of Topeka in the regular meeting of
that body this morning. A resolu-
ton condemning such alleged condi-
lions was passed unanimously by the
alliance and will be presented to the
board of education at the boards next
meeting, in order to convey the feeling
of the ministers to the school authori-
ties.
They Don't Favor Mixed Dancing.
MIXED dancing is looked upon
with much disfavor by members Of
the alliance. At previous meetings
of the alliance dancing among pub
lie school students has been under
discussion with the result that the
resolution was framed and presented
today
Resolutions Are Passed.
The resolution passed follows:
TN view of the present suggestive
methods of dress on the part of our
young women and the increasing de-
generation of the styles of dancing;
also that many of the teachers and
patrons of the public school system
are opposed to mixed dancing among
students, we are concerned about the
present social situation which main
tains at our high school functions and
therefore, we as members of the
Protestant Ministerial Alliance of the
churches of Topeka believe that it is
for the best moral influence of both
the youth and the community that
mixed dancing be eliminated from the
social functions of the schools by those
responsible for the educational leader
ship of our youth"
I'VE do not mean to go on record
against folk dancing" said the Rev.
A E. Gregory. pastor of the First
CONGREGATIONAL church and chairman
of the morals committee which pre-
scented the resolution. TT is mixed
dancing among the students that is
responsible for the deplorable condi-
ton" Members of the morals COM
Rev. NJ. G.. Mum, the Rev. Morris and
the Rev. Gregory.
Sunday movies will not be shown
in Topeka if the ministerial alliance
can prevent, according to the united
opinion of all who attended the meet
ing. A special committee from the
alliance will call upon Mayor Herbert
J. Corwine to protest against any
movement which may be made in
favor of motion pictures on Sunday.
Complaint was made, also. that num-
Der of uncensored motion pictures are
being shown in Kansas.
Investigation of certain amusements
carried on at the Kansas Free Fair
was made by a special Committee and
| a report by the chairman of the COM
| mittee, the Rev. Hobbs, showed that
all such amusementss which had been
understood to be as Illegal and of
gambling character. were permissible
under the law.

FILE BRIEF IN P.G.
 AND [. TEST CASE

The brief of the respondent in the case of the Pacific Gas and Electric company, appellant, versus the State of Arizona was filed yesterday, the action being one testing the electrical construction law. The brief was filed by W. J. K. Mcbride, assistant attorney general. in which he con- tends that both the legislature and the corporation commission have the right to make rules and regulations in such matters. He further holds that when the legislative act and the order of the commission conflict, the commis- sion must obey the act of the legisla- ture.
 His contentious are based upon the rulings of the supreme court in the Tucson Gas case and the Arizona East ern cases. in which the full crew laws were upheld.
 An initiative measure was adopted at the general election in November in 1914 and proclaimed by the gover- nor shortly afterward having to do with regulating the placing, erection, use and maintenance of electric poles, wires, cables and appliances, and pro viding for the punishment of any per son. firm or corporation violating the provisions of the statute.
 June 23, 1914, the Arizona corpora AlO0 CODlItllSSlOn dll OTUeF ing the standard specifications ap proved by the National Electric Light association for overhead line construc- ton work, as the rule to govern such construction in the state. The initia- tive measure did not, according to its provisions, become effective for 3 period of five years after it's adop tfon on any work that was to be reconstructed.
 The Pacific Gas and Electric com pany was convicted of violation oi the statute, at the experation Of the five year period, and appealed to the supreme court from the judgment claiming that the initiated law was unenostitutional as the constitution of the state had vested exclusive | power in the corporation commission | to make rules, regulations and order | for the convenience, comfort ant safety. and the preservation of tn health of the employees and patron of public service corporations. l Bullard and Jacobs, attorneys fo the electric company, based thei claim upon the decisoin of the su preme court of the state in the Tucsol
 Gas and Electric company case. The were ionied in their argument by ( w. Silverthorn, attorney for the Tow
 of Mesa City. The Salt River Valle
 Water Users association, also bein
 interested in the outcome of the cas'
 appeared through it's attorneys, Gus
 and Smith.
