The greatest demand for furs was
found in Hudson seal, mole, Alaska
seal, mink, muskrat, stone marten,
cases small supplies served to increase
the demand, 1t was said.
On the whole the outlook is far
ahead of that of last year, when the
skin trade was in state of utter
collapse. The market for the raw ma
terials apparently has reached bottom
and turned upward. Old firms bought
freely where cash was available and
steadied the decline. Other factors
tending to help included the vogue for
small furs and tho widespread use of
fur trimming.
Stocks Believed Small
At present the stock of raw furs is
greatly depleted, according to general
opinion. Tie market is described as
strong and healthy. with rising ten
dency noted in prices.
Fall offerings can be readily alb.
sorbed, it is declared, as it is believed
unlikely that prices will advance too
swiftly in view of the fact that it will
not be long before the new catches
reach the distributing centers.
Retail buying has been extremely
conservative, it is said, as many were
inclined to await signs that the bottom
had been reached. Moreover, credit had
been strained in some cases. A re-
sumption of buying in this part of the
trade is becoming more gradual, ac-
cording to wholesalers.
1t is believed that the total of manu-
featured furs on the market and in
retailers hands is not large and that
merchandise on the racks cannot be
replaced at prices even approximating
present levels. There is no reason to
believe that changes will not be for
the better, it is declared.
In the import and export trade finan-
cial conditions of an international
character play such an important part
that it has been found difficult to get
accurate views. The general opinion
seems to be that the outlook for i'm
ports is fairly good, but that export
business is doubtful because Of small
supplies.

BANK SMASH IS SERIOUS
Coffeyville Failure May Mean Loss to
Many Patrons.

Failure of the Peoples State bank
of Coffeyville may prove one of the
biggest bank smashes in Kansas in
several years, according to rumors to-
day in the state house. Appointment
of a receiver to take over affairs of
the .defunct bank may be made in a
few days, it was reported.
Several thousand patrons of the
Coffeyville bank are due for losses, ac-
cording to statements. There is also a
report that several large corporations
which borrowed heavily from the
banks funds, may encounter embar-
rassment in meeting their obligations.
No definite statement regarding de-
tailed conditions of the Coffeyville in
stitution has been made thru the state
banking department.
Walter E. Wilson state bank COM
missioner, spent the weekend in To-
peka. He returned to Coffeyville to-
day. The bank has been closed and
is in charge of the state department.

Eirst Step in Treatment Is a

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-

fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new. nau-
sealess calomel tablet called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style
calomel. Doctors also point out the
fact that an active liver may go a long
way towards preventing influenza and
is one of the most important factors in
enabling the patient to successfully

He FILES CROSS PETITION
George X. Louis Asks That He Be
Given Divorce From Wife.

Charging that she has been keeping
company with other men and that she
refuses to let him have custody of his
three minor children even tho she is
trying to get rid of them, George *
Louis, of Youngstown, o., today filed
a cross petition in the district court
asking that he be given the divorce
instead of his wife, Florine Louis. who
filed suit against him few weeks ago.
Mrs. Louis charged her husband with
neglect and abandonment, which he
stoutly denies.
Louis claims his wife left him
against his wishes when their youngest
child was two months old and that he
did not know her whereabouts for
some time. He alleges that she has
been keeping company with other
men; that men come to her room and
that some of her practices are ''un-
mentionable."
He claims she placed the youngest
child in the care of an immoral
woman, where she allowed it to re-
main for nine months; that she lives
apart from the children, leaving them
in the care of strangers. She also re-
fuses to support them. and he is now
paying $50 a month for their food
and lodging. he says.
Louis saws he has to live in Youngs-
town because he cannot get work in
his profession elsewhere. He charges
that his wife has been seen in an in
toxicated condition and that she uses
cigaretS.

FREIGHT RATES TOO HIGH
Kansas Livestock ASSN Protests to
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Kansas Livestock Assn Protests to
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Present freight rates on live stock
and farm products are too high and
should be reduced to correspond to
the lower market values: This is the
argument in petition which has been
filed with the interstate commerce
commission by the Kansas Live Stock
association and similar organizations
in other states.
The petition alleges that the recent
advances granted the carriers are I'M
just, excessive and discriminatory.
In the western district alone, it is
claimed, these rates will bring to the
carriers a revenue of $3.50, 100000 in
excess of the amount needed to pro-
duce the per cent net income. The
valuation upon which the present rates
were based was unreasonably high.
and in many cases the rates upon live
stock are confiscatory, the petitioners
charge:
Setting forth the reasons for filing
complaint at this time, the petition
says in part:
THE financial conditions of the
country are such that it is impossible
to secure loans whereby the grain and
feed crops can be fed to the live stock
of the country, and as a result they are
being rapidly moved to market in
liquidation of Indebtedness secured by
mortgages upon live stock. upon the
grain, cotton and other products that
are stored. thus requiring rapid ship
ment of such products to the markets
upon the enormously high rates now
prevailing, and when these products
reach the market they are selling for
| less than pre-war prices, and paying
from rs to $50 per cent greater freight
rates.
Enormous quantities of well Sc
cured paper of municipal govern
ments, railroads, public utilities ana
industrial concerns, and the notes,
bonds and obligations of foreign gov
ernments are offered at. high rates OF
interest, and thus it is that the demand
for money is so great that it IS mn
possible for the country to supply IT.

Vice President Says He'll Not
r. Pay Her a Salary.
PUBLICATION FAILS TO APPEAR
And Miss CASTOR Promised Sub
scriberS the Periodical.
Meanwhile Iowa Will Not En-
terrain Crusader.

II Irlctlon causes IRE, there should
be enough fire in the anti-cigaret
forces to light all the cigarets in the
world.
That friction exists is plain from
statements made today by leaders in
the work.
The report published about me was
an absolute falsehood," Miss Lucy
Page Castor, the Carrie Nation of to-
bacco, said today. AN official report
will be made by the board of directors
OF the anti-cigaret league of Kansas
that will prove the story false"
I'VE were never under contract to
pay Miss CASTOR a salary and Miss
Castor does not have our backing"
the Rev. NJ. w. Baker, one of the vice
presidents of the league declared to-
day, when asked of the disagreement
the Kansas league is said to have had
with Miss CASTOR.
AT a meeting of the board of direc-
tors Saturday night Miss CASTOR said
that she put in bill for half the
amount of salary she had expected
and for expenses of small chara cter
she had incurred Baker said that
the Kansas anti-cigaret league had
never contracted to pay Miss CASTOR
any salary and that as far al he knew
there had been no money in the treas
ury until Saturday night. Miss CASTOR
said that Baker was the only one who
voted against paying her what she
stated was due to her from the league.
Miss CASTOR said that she did not
intend to go to Iowa, but that she
would stay in Kansas and continue
her work.
Miss Castor said that the league had
agreed to pay her SIS a week when she
urst came to the state. She also said
when, she first came to Topeka that
she was sent as representative of the
International Anti-Cigaret league, with
salary of $50 a week.
"Coffin Nails"
The intended publication of a peri
odical to be known as THE Smokeless
DAY" or Coffin Nails" is understood
to have caused nearly as much friction
as did the matter of Miss CASTOR
salary.
We have had some difference of
opinion over the publication of the
magazine" Miss CASTOR said. When
We were not able financially to pub
lish The Smokeless Day as had been
intended, L thought it would be eff
fective to publish a four-page circular
to be called Coffin Nails We could
not agree over whether or not to pub
lish the paper"
Miss CASTOR told us she was going
ahead and publish paper on her own
responsibility as propaganda for the
league" Baker said. I'VE did not
want to have any such paper"
Miss CASTOR admitted that the inter-
national board at Chicago advised
against the publication of any paper
at present. Miss CASTOR said it should
be. done to keep faith with members
who had paid their dollar membership
with the understanding that they
would be given a subscription to 1.-The
SmokeleSs Day.
Miss CASTOR declared that DR.. D. w.
Kurtz of Mcpherson college, president
of the Kansas anti-cigaret organiza-
ton. and other leaders had agreed that
MISS Gaston's salary and bills should
be paid.
II even offered to raise the money
by solicitation, which I could do, for
have scarcely done any soliciting in
Topeka" Miss CASTOR said.

NEGROES ADMIT A ROBBERY
Ernest Arnold and Sam Holt Held Up
Four Persons on West Side.

Ernest Arnold and Sam Holt,
negroes. who officers say. have con-
fessed to holding up at least four per-
sons on the west side recently, are
under arrest today. They had been
living at 1911 Lane street, the home
of J. W. (CannonbalD Williams, who
served time in the penitentiary for
shooting near the Nolan bridge in
1909, the police say.
Holt was arrested Saturday In con-
nection with a worthless check in
vestigation. but the police failed to
connect him with the crime and re-
leased him. In the meantime he had
Arnold arrived Sunday morning at the
Jail an hour after Holt had left. The
variance between his story and Holt 8
caused the police to lock him up.
In the meantime, Holt had taken
the alarm and fled south. Near Wa
karusa he stopped to shoot at rabbit.
The crew of a passing freight train,
thinking they were the intended vic
tins, reported to Sheriff Robert Miller,
who telephoned to Wakarusa, where
Holt was caught.
In the meantime Arnold had con-
fessed to three robberies and impli-
Gated Holt. Holt then signed a writ

Among his victims are Howard Chal-
mers. 1867 West street; Frank Will

at once recognized that Arnold was
one of the men wanted when he came
to the station. A short time later
they had his confession.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS MEET.
Boys and Girls Basket Ball Teams
i'm Spirited Games.

The lovers of good basketball
were given rare treat last Wednes-
day evening when the high school
girls and boys teams FLASHED with
former high school stars in the an
nual alumni basketball games. The
Alumni girls defeated the high
school girls in regulation time by
the score of Is to l3, and the alumni
boys managed to pull out victory
after playing one extra period, by
the score of q to 26. Both games
We're fast and holly contested thru
out, and at no time was there a
difference of more than 4 points in
the scores of the two teams.
The alumni girls had better team
work than the high school girls but
their score was held down by the
stellar defensive work of Alice Tracy
and Hester Cutting, at guards for
the high school. Clara Soland, Anna
Glesne and Carrie Mcintosh played
a strong game for the alumni.
Weiser, Schrubbe and Evans were
the outstanding stars of the alumni
boys team, and it was Weiser's
throwing of free throws that really
won the game for the alumni. He
made 8 successful shots out of IL
attempts. The high school team
showed we'll developed team work
but were a little weak on basket
shooting. 1t was a good workout for
the boys, however, and gave Coach
Rath a good chapce to try out his
men, practically every member of
the squad getting chance on the
floor.
The lineup was as follows:
