WILL BACK U. S.
French Premier Says France
VIII Assist America.
Use Every Means to Avert War
in Future.
WILL Be RADICALS AT PARLEY
Delegation Made No Secret of
Plans for Conference.
Talked Freely With Passengers
While Crossing Atlantic.
WILL Be RADICALS AT PARLEY

New York, Nov. France is ready
to join in every endeavor to avert
new wars, provided she has nothing
to fear for her own security, which
remains one of the most solid guaran-
tees of the peace Of the world" said
Premier Aristide BRAND in a message
to the American people upon his ar
rival today to attend the armament
conference at Washington.
Just because she had to suffer
from the war more than any other
nation" he added, "she is ready to
ence in the most favorable spirit for
the maintenance of peace.
No Room for Differences.
Between France and the United
States there is no room for any diff
ferences-however slight" BRAND
i said in a statement to the American
people. f'Both our countries endeavor
good will to peaceful and fruitful
work and to reduce more and more
the risks of war"
To-day the world which is in such
need of safety and rest, wants not only
soothing words but realities" said the
French premier. 81 earnestly trust
the Washington meeting will give US
an opportunity in this respect. France
and America, yet united on the battle
fields will thus continue to play their
beneficent part in deriving from their
common victory such results as will
conform with the idealism that has
ever animated them"
BRAND Avoids Ceremony.
Aside from the official welcoming
party which went down the bay in an
army tug to greet BRAND, only a small
knot of persons was at the pier to
meet him. This was in accordance
with his expressed wish that there be
no ceremonies of welcome when he
arrived here.
Accompanying BRAND was Rene
Viviani, also a member of the French
mer premier of France. BRAND
brought with him French documents
for use at Washington, together with
records of the Versailles peace confer
ence. The premier proceeded imme-
diately to the Pennsylvania railroad
station, wheer he took a train for
Washington
Be Radicals at Farley.
Fellow passengers of the French
premier said BRAND and Viviani made
no secret of the fact that the delega-
ton would probably prove to be the
radicals at the armament conference,
because France believes her wounds
are still bleeding, while other countries
that took part in the. war are rapidly
recovering.
These passengers also said BRAND
hoped the Washington deliberations
would be short. From conversations
with the members of the French dele
cation, they believed Frances program
would be willing to yield on a num-
Der Of points if she can accomplish
reduction of military and naval ex-
penditures, and still safeguard the
fruits of victory.

ULSTER IN BALK MINE is WRECKED
Burgess Coal Shaft Near Null
berry Is Destroyed.
Operated by Miner Owners
Despite HOWat Strike.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. THE small
mine of the Burgess Coal company.
one miles south of Mulberry, was COM
pletely wrecked by two explosions
about 2 o'clock this morning.
The tipple was totally destroyed and
the mouth of the slope caved in by the
explosions which were of terrific force.
I-otor and other electrical machinery
were ruined by the explosion.
The mine has been operated for sew
eral weeks in spite of the strike. Eight
men comprise the company, all of
of the work at the mine. Six of them
have been working regularly at the
mine, it was said this morning
The explosions rudely awakened the
people of Mulberry and caused vari-
Gus rumors which circulated hurriedly
thru the city. The location of the
explosions, however, was not deter
mined until several hours later when
the wrecked tipple was discovered by
persons passing along the road near
the plant.
On the morning of October 27, the
Grey Wolf mine, also a slope plant
and operated by a small company OF
miners. was blown up by dynamite,
but the damage was not so extensive
and the mine is again in operation.
Five cases of dynamite were stolen
from the magazine of the Sheridan
Coal company's No. Z mine at Breezy
Hill some time last night, it
was discovered this morning The
No. z, Sheridan is a few miles from
the Burgess mine and officers believe
that dynamite taken from the maga-
zine was used in the Burgess mine ex-
ploSion.

restored. She asserted that the Okla
homa charge was a ''frameup."
State officials declared today that
they did not know where Mrs. 1nman
was staying at the present time. Mrs.
Inman also appeared before Judge C.
W. Smih, Governor Aliens executive
clerk. He advised her that Inman's
case would not be taken up until the
regular hearing of the board.
Warden Codding left the prison last
spring. He is now living in Leaven-
worth. Inman is matchmaker and
worked in the jewelers. store. After
he went to prison he asked permission
to aid in religious work and was in
charge of a large Sunday school class.
He seemingly received every courtesy
and consideration which the warden
could extend convict. 1t was during
his service as chauffeur that he met
the warden's daughter and courtship
began which later resulted in the
secret marriage.
X. G. JeweIer Knew 1t.
Kansas City, Nov. &c. J. Koch.
a jeweler here, said today that he had
known of the marriage of Elmer In
man, paroled convict who is now again
in the Kansas state prison at Lansing,
and Miss Lavona Codding, daughter
of J. c. Codding, former warden at
Lansing for some time.
Inmap told him of the marriage
confidentially, Koch said, and asked
him to keep the information secret.
Koch added that, in his opinion In
man was square and honorable and
was sent to prison unjustly, as a re-
suit of circumstantial evidence and
over-zeal on the part of detectives.
Koch said that Miss Codding was
employed in the welfare department
of a large store here, and that Inman
used to drive her here from Lansing.
Inman is now in prison at Lansing, as
a result of alleged violation of pa
role. His wife, the former Miss Cod
ding, left Topeka Saturday after an
unsuccessfuI attempt to obtain a par
don for her husband. Her where
ab0uts today is not known.

NO ARMISTICE DAY CLOSING
Business Houses to Remain Open on
November II.

No arrangements have been made
by local merchants for closing on
Armistice day. The matter has been
thoroly discussed and it was decided
that the stores would remain open.
'It takes more than four days for
the big stores to arrange a closing
day." Milton Tabor, secretary of the
Merchants association said. ''The
presidential proclamation setting forth
Friday as a legal holiday was issued
this morning. There is no inclination
on the part of the business men to
shirk their duty, but 1t is believed that
such short notice is not enough to
give them a chance to make plans.'
A census of the stores shows that
the sentiment IS almost unanimous in
favor of remaining open. If Armistice
day become a permanent legal holiday
the Topeka merchants will fall in line
and observe the day as a matter of
course.

Tho there are now but seventy ac-
tive cases of diphtheria known to the
health authorities of the city-the
Smallest number in weeks-a cold
wave now may send the number up
again, according. to DR.. Earle G.
Brown, city health officer.
Nine cases of the disease were re-
ported today. Forty-nine cases of
diphtheria and twenty carriers were
reported last week, making the week
the fifth in number of cases reported
since August 6.
1.-THE diphtheria is on the decrease,
but that should not mean that people
should be too confident or should re-
lax any of the precautions which they
today. 'Diphtheria is pre- e-eminently
a winter disease, and have no doubt
that it will be with US the rest of the
winter.
'HThe warm weather has helped to
keep it down. A cold wave probably
means that there will be more diph-
iberia"
There were POI cases of the disease
during October. There have been SOB
cases since August 6, with less than 2
per cent of them fatal. 1.-THE old ia
tality was about rs or 80, per cent"
Doctor Brown said. "Of the cases re-
ported, Is per cent have been of
adults. 20 years of age or more. This
is unusually high"
One death from infantile paralysis
occurred Saturday night. There have
been six cases of the disease reported
since September l.
'Infantile paralysis is epidemic in
many portions Of the United States.
1t can almost be said to be epidemic
IN Topeka, when you only have one
or two cases" Doctor Brown said.

the Irish peace situation, precipitated
by the refusal of the Ulster unionists
to accept the proposed compromise
measure, appeared today to be work

Craig, premier of the Unionist govern
ment of Ulster, told the International

to an all Irish parliament at Dublin
which would have absolute control
over Ulster" said this informant.
Furthermore, he is unwilling to enter

thizers.

chief of the Irish republican army and
members of the Sim Fein peace dele
cation was scheduled to arrive from
Dublin this afternoon, altho it was
