EMPORIA CHALLENGE TO HAYS
Winner of NorInaI-C. of e. Turkey
Game Wants Newspaper State Title.

Emporia, Nov. 16.-Thru the En-
poria Chamber of Commerce the Kan
sas State Normal school here, and the
College of Emporia today sent chal-
lenge to Hays Normal, leader of the
Kansas conference, for a post-season
game, between Hays and the winner Of
the Thanksgiving day game between
the two local teams to determine the
undisputed football championship of
the state.
The game proposed would be played
for the newspaper decision since
the conference has abolished title
awards. Since Hays has played no
strong eastern Kansas towns, the EN-
poria schools believe her perfect rec
ord does not establish her as having
the best team in the conference.
The winner of the College
game on Thanksgiving day would hold
the undisputed championship of east
ern Kansas, supports of the Emporia
teams point out. The post-season
game will be played shortly after
Thanksgiving if the challenge is ac-
cepted. The local Chamber of Com
merce had guaranteed the financial
success of the game if played here.

senate Republican leaders were seek
ing to put the Ford-Newberry sena-
torial contest thru while the news
papers were "clogged," with news of
the armament conference and thus
keep the facts from the public were

before the senate without the for
mality of a motion. He declared the
move of the majority leaders amount
ed to tanning the resolution down the
threats of the Democrats who wanted
to lay the case before the people.

NO new TARIFFS FILED
Law Provides Publication Five Days
Before They Become Effective.

Cor Germ was expressed in the state
house today when it became known
that the railroads had not filed their
tariffs under the hay and grain rate
decree outlined by the interstate COM
merce commission. The Kansas law
provides that such tariffs shall be pub
lished five days before they are to
become effective. The new rates are
now overdue.
Members of the public utilities COM
mission have not received the new
rates. 1t is pointed out, however, that
the federal commission really did not
make a direct and formal rate order,
but indicated such an order would be
forthcoming if not put in effect. There
is a possibility that a request for the
formal order might be necessary.
Reports are to the effect that rail-
road officials are in conference in New
York today and that the western grain
and hay rate reduction is being taken
up. Plans for publishing the new
rates may be worked out at the down
east meeting.

PERCY HEMUS TONIGHT.
BY DANIEL MULLER.

A Topekan who comes back to US
today covered with laurels is Percy
Hemus, who takes the leading role in
the Impressario by Mozart. 1 presume
every intelligent man and woman is
proud of Topeka as a mighty fine city.
Topeka has given many of her sons
and daughters to the world as men
and women who have helped to ad-
vance art and culture to become a
more intimate part of our lives None
has made a greater success than Percy
Hemus, who made his own way by
having enough faith in his ability and
ultimate success. He worked without
regard to season or cost He became
famous as the Mccormack of baritones
of America.
He was man and true American
enough to start giving concerts in New
York with all-English programs. He
proved our language to be singable as
well as any He made Boots" famous
the world over when he travelled with
Sousa as baritone soloist. He taught
thousands of buddies to sing during
the war. In short, his place in our
national and musical life has always
been that of a man with vision and
great personal ability.
Now Percy Henaus comes at the
head of a Comic opera Company
which he helped create from its in
ception and to him is due the major
part of the success of what nearly all
America said could not be done.
Tonight Topeka will have a chance
to hear and see him in a role far
deeper and more exacting than that Of
singer only. He told me over the
phone from Hutchinson that he would
like very much to have his townsmen
hear him in his new role.
ut gives me greater scope and
more depth. It allows me to be truly
my artistic self and I can give my old
friends bore true enjoyment" he

WASHBURN PROCTORS CHOSEN
Girls Are Not Satisfied With Honor
System.


The girls in the dormitories at
Washburn college are seemingly not
satisfied with the honor system.
The less bold believe the more bold
might be sneaking a few privileges on
them in the way of reading after
hours-or maybe, sh-h-sneaking out
when forbidden to have dates. Or
maybe they are cooking dainty delec-
tables in their rooms.
So, like the dear old army and navy,
they have appointed their watch-dogs.
Rather, they have elected them.
Instead of calling them sleuths. NJ.
P.'s, kitchen police, Gyrenes, or other
nautical and military terms, the girls
have decided to name their watch
women simply "proctors."
The proctors of Hartford and Hol-
brook halls are: Miss Elizabeth Heck
elnkaemper of Topeka, chief proctor;
Miss Mildred Branine of Topeka, Miss
Mary Barrett of Pratt; Miss Clara
Hill of Kansas City. Mo, and Miss
Elizabeth Parker of Ottawa.

No Lack of Lo0e
Shown by Kisses
ForOther Women

Chicago, Nov. IA wife's pronis-
cuous kissing does not indicate a lack
of affection for her husband, Judge
Joseph B. David declared today after
dismissing a $4,000 alienation suit
brought by John L. Walter against
Samuel johnson. Walter divorced his
wife after finding her and johnson in
a kissing affair in Mrs. Walters bou-
doir. Mrs. Walter since has died.
1T is true they were too friendly
said Judge David, but you lawyers
would not contend that in the ro-
nance days of France husbands and
wives did not love each other because
they had amorous affairs outside the
home.''

If warship building is going to be
men who are now working in steel

done for these men. I will do some
thing for them if the powers will sell
me their warships. I will not only
