No School Next Tuesday and
Thursday Afternoons.
Heavy Enrolment a Problem
for School Board.

The Topeka schools, both the ele-
mentary and the high school, will be
dismissed the afternoons of Tuesday
and Thursday, next week, so that all
of the pupils will have an opportunity
of taking in the big Kansas Free Fair.
Final reports on the number of pu-
pills enrolled in both the high school
and the grades have not yet been re-
ceived by Supt. A. J. Stout.
The heaviest increase in enrolment
this year is in the schools of North
Topeka. The unusual additions to the
schools there have filled the buildings
TO capacity. A new class room was
built on the Quincy school building
last year, and a new room was added
to the Grant school at the same time.
One new teacher was installed jim each
of the schools then, but despite these
increased facilities the two schools
will be barely able to handle the heavy
enrolment this year.
Must Relieve Congestion.
There is a possibility that if the
crowded condition continues to in
crease in the North Topeka schools,
some plan to relieve the congestion
will be made by the school board, ac-
cording to Superintendent Stout. One
plan that has been suggested is the
building of portable class rooms.
This would simplify matters a great
deal, says superintendent Stout.
Many new plans are being made by
the faculty and student body of the
high school for the present term. The
English department under the direc-
ton of Miss Hunt. head of the jour-
nalism classes, will publish the first
issue of the High School World in the
next two or three weeks.
Plan Musical Program.
Miss Grace Wilson. director of
music in the city schools, has made
plans for one of the best musical pro-
grams that the schools have had in
several years. Miss Wilson will or
ganize a forty-five piece orchestra and
| a band of eighteen pieces among the
high school students Boys and girls
glee clubs will also feature the musical
program. All of these organiza tions
will commence practice next week for
the Kansas State Teachers conven-
ton, which will be held here Novem-
ber 3, 4 and 5.
The elementary schools will not be
neglected by the music director A
! Music Memory contest will be
started in the near future among the
grade schools by Miss Wilson. The
purpose of the memory contest is to
teach the children in the lower grades
| to know good music and to appreciate
| it. Special attention will be given to
orchestra music in the elementary
! schools. Orchestras will be organized
| in every school in which such an or
| ganiZation will receive the proper sup
| port and attention from the pupils.

Canada arlia1nent
for Reciprocity

Ottawa Although returns from
yesterdays general election were still
incomplete today, it was apparent that
for the first time in ten years Cana
da had elected parliament with a
majority favoring reciprocity with the
United States.
In the new house of commons W. L.
Mackenzie King, liberal, will have a
clear majority over all parties. He
will thus become prime minister. The
progressives, also favoring reciprocity
and low tariff, will rank second and
the high tariff party headed by Prem
Ter Meighen, third Mr. Meighen him
self was defeated in Portage La Prai-
RE, Manitoba, his home district.
The fall of the Meighen government
with it's high tariff platform was as
spectacular as the defeat of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's liberal administration 1911
on its policy of reciprocity with the
United States.

DIR. LORENZ QUITS
UNDER MEDICAL FIRE
Says a..;sastv b. sAseric: Medical
Fraternity Caused Him to End His
Work for Charity.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire. }


New York City - DR.. Adolph Lorenz
famous Austrian surgeon announced
today that in view of the opposition
to his professional activities in this
country from the medical profession,
he would discontinue further free
clinics and return to Vienna as soon
as possible.
He made the announcement at the
office of health commissioner Cope
land where he went to examine rs
crippled children.
DIR. Lorenz explained his decision
in the following statement:
an view of the widespread and
great opposition to my professional &C
tivity in this country from the ranks
of the medical profession which I had
hoped to conciliate, l feel must dis
continue all my plans and return to
my beloved Vienna.
81 harbor no malice against the
American profession, and hope they
will soon reconsider and accept the
proferrer hand of friendship with
their Austrian brethren. If once the
ice is broken the current will do the
rest and in the near future a recon
Citation must take place anyhow.
First, my great mission was to
thank the American people for all
they have done for the starving little
children of Vienna, 1 did not fail in
this, my endeavors to conciliate the
profession failed. I made superhu-
man efforts, I tried in vain, 1 am
sorry"
Dr. Lorenz however, did not dis
appoint the cripples who had gather
ed at DIR. Copeland's office seeking his
aid. He went through with the ex-
aminations, diagnosing and addressing
modes of treatment for the little un-
fortunates, which will be carried out
by American doctors.
One of the first examined was Mar
ion Bird, years old niece of Father
Francis Duffy, heroic chaplain of the
old Goth. regiment.
When he was asked to comment on
DR.. Lorenz's reception in this country,
Father Duffy said:
"a surgeon and chaplain have du-
ties that lie outside of the strange an
imosities of war"
When DR.. Lorenz stopped to rest and
sip some team, DR.. Copeland said to
him: eve have in America a type of
citizen we call damn fools; don't be
disturbed by them, go on with your
work. Take the rank and file of the
profession and l think you will find
they are keen about your work; don't
be fooled by the damn fools"
DR.. Copeland pleaded with the sur
geon to give up his decision to return
to Vienna A moment later when ask
ed whether he would change his mind
and continue working in this country,
DR.. Lorenz said: 81 might, might"

suit each other before going to war on

The agreement, American officials

it deal with any matters affecting

COURT ACTION AND
DISORDER IN iSTRInE
Packers Strike Goes Into Third Day
With Little Developing Toward
a Settlement.

(By Associated Press Leased Wirel
Chicago - Court action and sporadic
disorders none of which resulted seri-
ously marked the third day of the
packing house workers strike in live
stock centers of the middle west, while
both packers and union leaders an
nounced satisfaction over the situa-
ton.
Five companies of national guards
men were on duty at St. Paul to in
sure safety of employees going to work,
while the strikers were threatened
with call for troops at Kansas City,
Kans., if they disregarded the indus
trial court order against picketing. An
injunction at Forth Worth, Texas,
where numerous fist fights occurred
was in effect restraining strikers from
picketing or lettering in the vicinity of
the plants.
Independent packers in Chicago,
some of whom were forced to close
down were considering asking an in
junction to keep the strikers away, so
that they could put men to work with
out trouble. The larger plants in Chi
cage reported operations about 80 per
cent of normal, although Dennis Lane,
secretary of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen, esti-
mated 10000 men were out in the local
yards.
Lane also announced that many
workers had deserted their posts
Everywhere" but at St. Joseph, Mo-,
they were still at work despite efforts
of the strikers to pull them away.
Ten men arrested here for distub-
ances yesterday were granted jury
trials today.

BULLETIN.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Washington President Hard
ing, converting the annual meeting
of the American Red Cross today
told its members that ''they might
never be called upon again for
work" to relieve war suffering on
scale comparable to that of re-
cent years because "we are going
TO succeed beyond our fondest
hopes" in the armament confer
ence.
The president told the deIega-
ton he did not claim any special
merit for calling the conference,
but that ''my only thought was to
do my duty"
The delegation which was ac-
companied by a number of mem
bers of Congress, congratulated
Mr.. Harding upon the progress of
the conference and placed it's COM
plete support to the policies of
the American government as enun-
ciated in the conference.
Il don't claim any special merit
for calling the conference" the
president said to his callers when
they concluded .-jtheiE-..address.
"My only thought was to do my
duty. However, it is a happy
augury TO find not only agricul-
tural but also the makers of arms
and armaments-men who were
naturally expected to have a per-
sonal interest in the revenues de-
rived from warfare just as much
in favor of limitation as farmers.
II cannot speak of the confer
ence other than to say that l ex-
pect very gratifying results from
its deliberations. Moreover this
conference will demonstrate the
wisdom Of internationally coming
together - nations facing each
other and settling problems with
out resort to arms.
'Tt is exceedingly heartening
during all of the heavy duties
which devolve upon the chief
executive to have the assurance
of the farmers of the United
States, that they will give hearty
support to me in my effort to
limit ornaments"
