TELL OF ROTARY CONVENTION
Members of Topeka Club Told of
Meeting I'm Wichita.

The Topeka Rotary club meeting to-
day noon at the Chamber of Com
merce was given over to reports of the
district convention at Wichita, held
last week. Charles Elliott, Don Grin
dell and other members testified that
it was the greatest convention ever
held by Rotary clubs and those who
attended expressed their sympathy for
the ones who stayed at home.
Mrs. David Burr .Luckey. addressed
the club with a plea for financial aid
for the Kansas Navy club. Several
members signed pledges.
Mrs. Frank Britton, who was in
Wichita for the convention, told what
she thought of the convention and
gave a few incidents of the trip which
she took last summer in Europe.
Harry Bennett, who is the oldest
Civil war member of Rotary, and who
hasn't missed a district convention of
Rotary since he was a member, gave
an interesting talk on the Wichita en-
tertainment.
Bishop James Wise made the fea-
ture talk of the convention and his
address was highly pleasing to the
members of the club.
Gentlemen, if I said anything to
the crowd at Wichita that was worth
while, it was because I was inspired
by the men to whom I spoke" said
Bishop Wise. Outside of the church,
my chief interest lies in this associa-
tiOn form ed in Rotary

felt something hard under the lads
coat. Then he proceeded to remove
a Colts revolver and belt containing
fifty-one cartridges, which the boy
had strapped over his shoulder.

IFS" said Pendleton to the surprised
boys. They admitted that they had
run away from their homes in East
Hill, just east of Topeka, and were on
their way to the 101 ranch in Okla
homa. They gave their names as Lloyd
Johnson, IA; Alfred Cooper, 10, and
Russell Kidney, IL.
They were taken to the county jail
and. amid tears of protest, were
showed thru the institution, with in
structions that this would be their fu-
ture home if they ran away again.
The boys parents had telephoned the
sheriff's office that the boys had run
away and Carlson and Pendleton were
looking for them when they hailed the
sheriff's car for a, ride.

BIC BOOZE PROFIT
BO0tleggers Made Billion ViO-
lating Law Last Year.
Government Cheated Out of
Huge Excess Profits Tax.

Washington, April 14.-Bootleggers
made profits totaling nearly $1,000
100000 last year, it was estimated
here today on the basis of internal
revenue bureau reports showing that
approximately 30,0o0,o00 gallons of
liquor were withdrawn from bonded
warehouses last year.
Between $500, 100000 and $500, 000,-
600 of this should be paid to the gov
eminent in income and excess profits
taxes. So far as tax records show, no
profits earned by bootleggers were re-
ported Or paid in taxes. Tax officials
are looking longingly at the gross
profits of the bootleggers last year,
which was equal to the amount the
government paid in interest on the en-
tire war debt.
The new commissioner of the bu-
reau of internal revenue, it is sug-
gested. may discover a way to collect
the tax. Many officials regard the
possibility of collecting the bootleg
gers tax as really worth while. 9th
ers scott at the proposal.
Bootleggers who made a return,
even tho the returns were camou-
flaged. would be Immediately open to
prosecution for violating the Volstead
law, it is pointed out.

for a rest room for farmers wives and
children. They have been coming into
the city and time after time have
found no place to make their head
quarters comfortably while they did
their shopping and other errands.
Two rooms on the first floor of the
city hall may be used for the needed
rest room, if the city commission
agrees tomorrow to plan TO be pro-
posed by a committee from the Mer-
chants association and Mrs. ~Guy
Kiene, of the county farm bureau. On
the south side of the city hall entrance
are two large rooms, used as offices
for conventions. as precinct Young
places or for other uses. The rooms
are ideally located for the rest room
and could be equipped easily for the
purpose. The farmers usually park
their cars on Quincy street
Chas L. Mitchell, Orie lines and h.
H Crosby are among the members OF
the Merchants association committee
who will ask the city for the rest
room. The city has no fund to pro-
vide such a place. but with funds from
the Merchants association the city
probably will have no objection to
such use of the city building. The
rest room would not interfere with the
room being used during convention or
elections.

ious for the rest room to be provided
before May 20, when the big barbecue
and picnic for the farmers in this sec
ton of the state will be held in To-
peka. At that time continuous mo-
ton picture shows and Marshall's
band will be at the auditorium as a
part of the entertainment.
If the city gives the merchants
committee permission to establish the
rest room, the equipment for the room
will include several hospital beds,
baby cribs. comfortable chairs and an
electric grill so it will be possible for
the visitors to prepare hot lunches.
