SOAKING RAINS IN KANSAS
From Two TO Five Inches of RAIN
fall Reported in Eastern Third of
State-Wheat Is Making Good
Growtil-Wet Weather Delays
Corn Planting.
By S. d. Flora, Meteorological.

Soaking rains that totalled from
two to five inches fell in the eastern
third of Kansas this week and Tapped
over into several of the central coun-
ties, but most of the western half
had only light or moderate showers
that frightened up crops but sufficed
only for present needs, according to
the reports of the correspondents of
the weather bureau from the different
counties of the state. Temperatures
were below normal, except on one or
two of the closing days and the week S
sunshine was deficient.
Wheat in general is making a salts
factory growth and looking well. 1t
has practically all jointed in the east
ern third of the state and the south
central counties and half jointed else
where, except the northwest portion,
where it is aust entering this stage.
Much of it is in the boot in the south
ern part, but it will require one or
two weeks before it is that far along
in the northeast portion and still more
time in the northwest counties. In
the eastern part of the state wheat
wodld be benefited by dry weather
and sunshine and s getting to be
rather rank, but the central counties
could generally stand more moisture
without detrimental effects. Many
important wheat growing counties
near the middle of the state report
that wheat still lacks vigor and a
healthy color, due to the freezes of
April. Rust is extensively reported
from the southern counties. 1t is of
the red or leaf rust variety.
Oats are backward and in rather
poor condition. Generally they are
not more than three to four inches
high. Barley in the northwest is late
and only two or three inches high.
Corn planting has been delayed by
the wet weather and is only from SO
to rs per cent planted in the eastern
half and just beginning in the north
west counties. 1t is not coming up
yet. except in the southern counties,
and the stands there are mostly poor.
Pastures are doing fine, especially
in the eastern half. The green bug
pest in alfalfa has abated. at least in
localities. and conditions favor a salts
factory growth of the crop. Potatoes
were rather badly frosted in the Kaw
valley the opening days of the week,
but are beginning to outgrow the eff

KEEP CHINA'S GOOD WILL.
Barclay Atchison Speaks Here in In
terest of Chinese Relief Work,

Barclay Atchison of New York. rep
resentative of the national organiza-
ton for Chinese relief, spoke before
the Kansas Children's Home society
at the Central Y. NJ. C. A. at noon to-
day. Atchison has spent two years in
Turkey, has visited China and is aware
of the destitute condition of the Chi
nese.
81 like to come out west in this
work, out here where they do things
without SO many gyrations and with
out so much red tape" Atchison said.
He told how 81 will save a Chinese
life, and how China had been gen.
erous in helping this country when
funds were needed to give our men in
service comforts they would not have
had otherwise. He said that much
depended upon obtaining the good will
of China, as the Pacific ocean was to
carry the heavy commerce of the
world in the future.

Charges by brotherhood Head Will Be
Investigated, Report Says.

investigated, report says.
Charges made by NJ. A. Moore,
general chairman OF the Brotherhood
of Railway clerks at Topeka, that Of
ficials of the auditing department at
Topeka had made unfair efforts to
secure the appointment of a COM
Ilittee of unorganized employees who
would accept reduction in pay, may
be taken up by the general officers OF
the union, Moore said Tuesday night
Moore attended a meeting of the Of
ficials of the organization called to
consider the charges.
Moore says the charges will prob
ably be taken before the federal la
Dor board by the union.
Denial of the charges has been
made by w w Strickland, freight
auditor, who asserted today that
neither he nor any other officials of
the department had encouraged the
circulation of the petitions for the ap-
pointment of Representatives COM
PLEASANT with the will of the officials
in the reduction of wages. The pc
tition referred to-. Strickland said,
was only for the purpose of asking
the right of the organized employees
to be represented before the labor
board, just as the organized employees
are represented. Strickland said that
while he had concurred in the circu-
lation of the petition, neither he nor
any other officials had encouraged
it.
Suggestions have been made in dis
cussions among officials that in re-
adjusting the wage scale more
equitable difference could be made
between the wages of skilled and UNI
skilled service" Strickland a d,
since the wages were increased dur
ing the war to make both classes
draw nearly the same"

WILL BUILD BRIDGE SATURDAY.
Members of Builders Club Plan Work
at DaIesford Farm

The members of the Topeka Build
ers' club will construct a bridge over
a fifty foot gully adjoining their three.
acres of land near Auburn, on the
Dalesford farm, Saturday afternoon
according to plans laid at their meet
ing today noon at the Chamber OF
Commerce.
Some months ago, the Builders club
which is composed of sixty-three con-
tractors, architects, and construction
engineers of Topeka, obtained a lease
on this tract of land. They intended
to use it for camping purposes, but the
gully interfered with their plans.
I'VE expect to have the entire mem
bership of the club out for this Satur-
day afternoon recreation" said Glenn
Bybee, a member of the club. 1.-THE
bridge is necessary for convenient APP
proach to the camping grounds, and
only members of the club will be al
lowed to work on it,

TO CUT The SOUTH
Hays Lays New G. O. p. Plan
Before Harding.
Reduce Convention Represen-
tatiOn in Proportion to Votes.

Washington, May 1.-THE question
of revising representation of southern
states in future Republican national
conventions was laid before President
Harding by Postmaster General Hays,
Clarence D. Miller. secretary of the
Republican national committee, and
Representative Slemp of Virginia.
The three party leaders are acting
as a subcommittee for committees ap-
pointed at the last national conven-
ton and by the national convention.
The plan proposed is to reduce the
number of delegates to a figure more
proportionate to the number of vot-
erS in southern states.
A new angle in the situation is wo-
man suffrage and suggestions have
been made that in some states casting
heavy Republican votes additional del
egates should be allowed to compen-
safe for the increase.

'FAVORS DANCE REGULATION
Proprietor of Local Academy Invites
inspection by Police.

Contrary to expectations, the ordi-
nance proposed by Mayor Corwine to
regulate public dance halls has met
with the approval of at least one
dance hall proprietor. Chas. Stein
berg, proprietor of Steinberg's Dane
ing academy, declared today that he
was in favor of such regulation.
81 am strongly in favor of it," Stein
berg said when questioned about the
ordinance. There's only one thing
wrong with it. The license zee is too
low. Instead of $25 or $50 for the
license, the city should charge at
least 500.
1--WE do not mind if policemen in
spect our dance hall" Steinberg said.
"Often the officers come up there and
have had nothing to complain of. We
do not allow young people under 16
years old in our hall, and we have al
ways closed at 1880 o'clock.
1.-THE higher the license fee the
sooner the rough public dance hall will
be eliminated" he said. This ordi-
nance should have been suggested
long ago"

OBJECTS TO WOMAN JUROR
james I.arimer Loses No Time il
Using Peremptory Challenges.

James Larimer, attorney for the j.
o. Patterson company. defendant in a
suit brought by Curt Bergman to re-
cover $500, is not classed exactly as a
woman hater, altho he is a bachelor.
But he doesn't want a woman on any
jury trying a case of his.
When the jury was called for trial
of the case in Judge James Mcclure
division of the district court today, the
personnel included Mrs. c. L. thinner
man. Larimer lost no time in using
one of his peremptory challenges in
getting her excused. Then he used up
all his other challenges in getting
twelve men to suit him.
And when the last man had been
excused on Larimer's very last chal-
lenge, he discovered that the name of
Mrs. Mary Brown was next But it
was too late. Mrs. Brown passed the
examinations by the plaintiffs attor-
neys and Larimer could not ask for
her removal. So now he is trying a
case with woman on the jury, after

trict superintendent of the organiza
ton from various parts of Kansas,
were present at the business meeting
and luncheon today.

number of children who came to us as
wards Shirk said. but in the assist
ance given to unfortunate parents in
order to enable them to retain their
children and keep the home intact. In
the earlier days this was mere Incl
dent of the work. Today we are max
ing it prominent part" Because of
this assistance in the past year more
than sixty children are now living
with their parents, rather than in or
phan asylums or in unsuitable homes,
Shirk said.
