CHEYENNE DONATES CORN
Northwest Kansas County Is First
to Start Car of Corn on Way TO
Relief of Suffering in Near East.

cheyenne county didn't say much
about what it was going to do for the
Near East relief fund. Cheyenne
county is in the extreme northwest
corner of the state, and reports from
that county to the state committee
were few and far between.
In fact, the first, report that was re-
ceived was a request that a car be
spotted at Bird City, where a carload
of corn, which had been given to the
Near East relief work by the farmers
of the county. was waiting to start on
it's journey to Europe.
That's the Kansas way" w. A.
Biby, chairman of the state commit
tee, said this morning. They said
nothing till the corn was ready to ship.
The car will start east Wednesday of
this week"
Cheyenne county is the first in the
state to start a carload of grain to the
east. The collection of the grain was
made by an organization which had
hitherto been unheard of around the
state headquarters in TOpeka-the
Bird City Equity Mercantile Exchange.
The manager of the exchange, Ed B.
Turner, made the report to the state
headquarters of the Near East relief
work.
Contributions received at national
Headquarters of the Near East Relief,
acknowledged during the past week
by Cleveland H. Dodge. treasurer of
the fund. The largest contribution,
which amounted to $4,000, was given
thru A. NJ. karagheusian and other
Armenian merchants of New York
City, whose previous contributions to-
tai more than a half million dollars.

IS CHIEF
Bank Examiner To Be Ap.
pointed by Mayor Corwine.
Announcement To Be Made at
City Hall Tomorrow.
CLEAN UP POLICE DEPARTMENT
Swallow Named to Conduct
Vigorous Protection Policy.
Experienced and Active Officers
To Be Hired Here.
CLEAN UP POLICE DEPARTMENT

Guy Swallow will be the new chief
of police of Topeka under the second
Corwine administration.
The announcement will be made to-
morrow by Mayor Corwine, it is un-
derstood on excellent authority this
afternoon. Z
Swallow, it is understood, will make
an immediate cleanup of the entire
police force. He will ask for the res
ignauons of men in the department
who have been responsible for much
of the criticism of the Corwine admin
istration. In their places he will hire
experienced officers and detectives
men who will place the city on the
criminal dodge list"
Swa!lo is an examiner for the state
bank department. He has had con-
siderable experience in criminal af-
fairs in jefferson county. He was
mentioned prominently as a candidate
for United States marshal OF this fed
eral district. He lives in Topeka.
Source of Speculation.
Mayor Corwine's appointment of a
new police chief has been the source
of considerable speculation in the city
since the mayor was reelected last
week. The opposition that developed
against the mayor in the primary and
in the election was based on the show
ing he had made with his police de-
partment. 1t was believed that under
his second term he would make a
strenuous effort to straighten out his
record with the public.
If the Swallow appointment is car
ried out with the intention of cleaning
up the department and hiring efficient
and active men, it will add greatly to
the mayors political and administra-
tive prestige, interested Topekans say
today
Frank Leech, present chief of po-
lice, was appointed to succeed George
Hannah following the discharge of the
latter when the department was under
public investigation 1t was at this
investigation that Mayor Corwine was
confronted with the conditions exist
ing in his police department.

KILLED BY BANDITS
Topeka Boy Slain When Gas
Station Raided.
Was Earning His Way Thru
Washington University.

st. Louis, April blood stained
money in a desk drawer today led po-
lice to believe that John Heating, %
years old, was shot and killed last
night while reaching for the money to
give to bandits who held up an oil
filling station of which Heating was
night manager. The robbers escaped
with SIS. Heating was a student at
Washington university here, taking a.
general technical course, and worked
at the oil station at night.
Several shots were dired, and one
bullet struck Keating below the right
collarbone. James Murry. who was
attracted to the station by the shots,
said he saw two men running from
the station Keating was seated in a
swivel chair, bleeding profusely, ac-
cording to Murray.
Keating was taken to the city hos
pital, where he was pronounced dead.
Ten dollars, covered with blood, was
in the desk drawer. A letter, signed
Miss Edith Pruitt of Topeka, was on
Keating's desk.
Mrs. A. C. Keating, 7O4 Clay street,
mother of the boy, said today that she
had talked with a friend of her sons
in st. Louis over long distance tele-
phone, and the friend expressed con-
fidence that John had not resisted the
robbers.
There had been several hold-ups in
that vicinity and John had told him,
the friend said, that if his station was
held up he would make no resistance.
1t was declared that no money had
been taken, but that the two men ap-
preached the filling station, which is
located on a well lighted thorofare.
shot Keating and fled.
A. C. Heating left this morning for
st. Louis. The body will be brought
to Topeka, for burial, Mrs. Keating
said.
John Heating was a graduate of the
Topeka high school and a former
Washburn student. He was well
known in Topeka. This was his first
year at Washington university, st
Louis. where he went to take an archi-
tectural course. working nights to de-
fray his expenses. His father, A. c.
Keating. is one of the proprietors of
the White Star laundry.
The youth is survived by his pa
rents and one sister. Miss Florence
Keating. and his grandmother, Mrs.
Alice M Miner, all of Topeka.

Many temporary men were en-
ployed without civil service examina-

Too Much Night Work.
The "unfavurable working condi-
tons referred to by George were ex-
planned as too much night work" He
declared that night work is unneces-
sary and could be eliminated to a
great extent if Postmaster General
Hayss early mailing campaign sue

McGrath said wor- ing conditions have
made practically impossible the re-
tention of civil service clerks.
Night work. he explained, "is the
chief reason men are not taking the

Under Hays's plan, business men are
urged to do the bulk of their mailing
in the morning instead of in the late
afternoon.
