THE IMPIRESAnE0
BY DANIEL MULLER.

Last night for the first time In
years a good sized Topeka audience
enjoyed good comic opera. The cast
was very clever Each irnpersonator
played his part with the ear marks
of understanding his role. They por-
trayed cleverly their wholesome con
ception of nannerism and rather
elaborate witdcism which was perhaps
over-indulged in real life in the eigh-
teenth century as We see it now. 1t
is perhaps no common knowledge that
Mozart really had a number of love
affairs, all of them OstenSibly genuine
and when Thomas McGranahan, the
Mozart of last night made love to both
prlma donnas he portrayed cleverly
that which We know to have been
true in perhaps little altered form. 1t
is a historic fact THAI Mozart really
was in love with Madam Rofer who
during his absence made a brilliant
success in singing and when Mozart re-
turned disdained him, Whereupon he
Immediately became enamored with
her sister, whom he married
In my estimation the Madam Rofer
of last night was the only weak char
acter in the cast. Her acting was
clever but her singing was of forced
too-nasal color. Ordinarily it would
not be so noticeable but she was sur
rounded by others such as Percy
Hemus, who has few equals as a bari
lone singer, and McGranahan. who
would make an ideal conquerOr of
audiences who like a mellow, lyric
tenor voice without masculine force.

Kansas Concerned Over New
Freight Rate Schedules.
Gains in Grain Promise May Be
Sidetracked Now.
TO FIGHT MOVE OF CARRIERS
p. u. c. Does Not Want Rehear-
ing Grain Hay Case.
Would Mean Loss of Six Mil
lion Kansas Saving.

Kansas shippers felt genuine con-
Germ today when the state and the
middle west faced prospects of losing
the gains promised thru the freight
rate revisions on grain and hay. If
the program announced by the car
riers is carried out the shippers will
gain only in accordance with the gen
ieral rate decrease 1t will mean that
the heralded saving of thirty eight
million dollars to mid western states
six million for Kansas, it was claimed
will disa ppear and the shippers will
gain only thru the general 10 per cent
slash.
Members of the public utilities com
mission and shipper organization as
serted emphaticaily today that they
will fight the move of the carriers
FOR a rehearinE of the grain and hay
rate case. They are determined in
their stand and their protests have
already gone to Washington. In the
meantime various farmer organiza-
tons are receiving gentle tips to get
busy if they are to save the ground
gained in the recent order by the in
5kerstate commerce commission.
Rates Not in Effect.
While announcement OF the 16 per
cent cut in grain and hay rates was
smade some time ago. the rates have
never gone into effect. Neither have
the new tariffs been posted. Now the
grain and hay men face loss of much
of the ground gained and a concession
on rates in accordance merely with

Don't bother what upset your stomach
or which portion of the food did the
damage. If your stomach is sour,
gassy and upset. and what you just
ate has fermented into stubborn

you wonder what became of the in
digestion and distress. Millions of
men and women today know that it
is needless to have a bad stomach. A
little Diapepsin occasionally keeps this
delicate organ regulated and they eat
their favorite foods without fear. If
your stomach doesn't take care of your

food is a damage instead of a help,
remember the quickest, surest. most

the general freight reduction proposed
by the transportation companies.
To carry out the plan of the car
riers would mean to withdraw entirely
the glory of the victory which was
claimed thru the I. C. c. decision. 1t
would also mean that estimated saw
ings to shippers-using the public
utilities commissions own figures
would be lowered fifteen million dol
lars. From a strategic standpoint.
however, the glory of the reduction
would rest on the railroads for theiI
voluntary general cout order rather
than on the state commissioners and
the shipping organizations for their
fight in Washington.
There is another feature which the
shippers and utility commission mem
bers point to with much concern. That
is the claim that the promised rate de-
crease really doesn't mean much.
These authorities today asserted
that under the proposal for reduced
rates, exceptions are to be made in &C
cordance with reductions since Sep
TENDER 1. Under the terms OF this
plan. it is claimed, the extent of the
rnidwestern reduction would be de-
creased and the effect on eastern
roads would matter not at all II IS
pointed out that grain and hay reduc-
tons for eastern roads have already
been put in effect. IN view of the fact
that they averaged about IL per cent,
the new order would not concern the
eastern lines. But the pending 6 per
cent reduction would be cut to 10 per
cent if the general order went into
effect and rehearing of the midwest
ern case resulted in suspension of the
former decree.
Pooling the Public?
1T am not saying that there is a
well laid scheme TO fool the public in
this matter. mind you" explained
Clyde NJ. Reed, chairman of the Kan
sas public utilities commission, but
it might be done. You can bet we
will fight any move to deny us bene-
fits of the / per cent decree and VIII
oppose the application for a rehear-
ing"
Chairman Reed then sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Chairman c. c.
McChord of the interstate commerce
commission on behalf of the state
commissions:
Carriers have not filed schedules in ac-
cOrdance with decision in Docket one two

lions grain and hav less than found by
your commission to be just and reason

such adjustment and request commission
to issue order in view of conclusive find

will be issued if necessary. Application
for rehearing should not operate in any
manner to stay or postpone enforcement of

LOCAL POLICE IN MOVIES
Phtrolmen Assist Hero in Kansas
Avenue Scene This Noon.

Avenue Scene This Noon.
Lowering skies that resembled the
sunny glare of Hollywood as much as
Douglas county roads resemble high
ways, confronted Director Charles LIE
Witt and his corps of local talent ac-
tors, and his imported cameraman,
when they faced the task this noon
on Kansas avenue of shooting the ex-
citing scenes, wherein THE Girl From
Topeka" is carried away from her new
husband to the underworld haunts of
crime by John Bauerlein, who for this
weekonly is a deep dyed villain.
The scenes were shot, however, de-
spite the chill of the air and the dim
light. The abduction scene and that
of the Topeka police aiding our noble
hero in his pursuit, may now be shown
on the screen as actually taking place
at night. It all depends upon how
the laboratory men are able to turn
out the finished prints. A large crowd
turned out for this free exhibition of
picture making which is done in the
interest of the Topeka Provident asso-
citation by the Kiwanis club.
The scenes that are to be shown this
evening at the Grand will be the ones
in which the local talent puts on real
rough suff. The villain VIII will lure
the hero from his office, call the wife
TO the place and then with the aid of
his gang of thugs. carry her off to his
den. If the work is done as fast to-
night as some of the other scenes have
been shot, Director LIE Witt will also
be able to stage the big fight wherein
Henry Anton, (Our hero) Gefeats the
villain and his crew, rescues his wife
and makes his escape from the bandit
den. It is said that seven buckets of
blood are to be spilled In the fight
scene and that after the scene is to
be shot it will take a scoop shovel to
dig out the cops who have sunk in it
for the third time
Last nights scenes were all OF the
biggest and the largest attended we'd
ding Topeka has ever seen. In addt-
/ ton to the principals there were over
fifty flower girls and seventy-two
! bridesmaids. Over across the foot
lights there were more than 1900
spectators. Standing room was at a
premium and the laughter was a gale
that shook the lights, when Henry An
ton, the groom, raised his right hand
and solemnly swore 81 do" at that ia
tai moment when Mayor Herbert J.
/ Corwine mixed it up ana asked him
"Of course you understand that you
are not taking this woman to be your
lawfully welded wife" The mayor
was anxious that the fact of his be-
ing an ordained minister of the gos-
pei would in no way kick back le-
sally some time or other. At another
time the wedding was nearly broken
up when the choir, finding that its eff
| forts at singing america" were a
| failure, broke out riotously with
! Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here"
! while the bridal party was slowly pac-
ing toward the bell and the minister.
