BURGLARS ENTER
! SEAVEY'S STORE
BlO0dhOunds Lose Trail of Thief
Over $4,000 of Loot
Taken.

TIE Department Store of A. c..
Seavey & Sons was invaded during
MONDAY night by burglars who en-
tered through a f1re-proof window
they fhad broken through in the rear
of tie building. Small amounts of
monSy, taken from desks, and a
largo quantity of goods of a value
estimated at perhaps $500 was sto-
len.
TIE office was found in great dis
ordet Tuesday morning, every pos
siblel receptacle for money having
beensransacked.
Tte sound of breaking glass and
an automobile leaving the vicinity
at about two o'clock which have
been9reported lead to the belief that
the tolen goods were carried away
in machine.
Bob Cant and his famous blood
hounds were summoned from Crystal
Springs and readily took up the trail
but lost it in the street.
A similar burglary was reported
at the same store about a year ago,
the loss at that time having been
probably heavier, and the theory is
advanced that the same burglars are
responsible for the present loss.

 in rounding up alleged draft slackers in this city. Lists containing the names of men who are charged with evading the draft have been received at police headquarters, but the local authorities will not attempt to appre- hend the dodgers until further or ders are received.
 In view of the fact that no complete roll of service men is available in the city, the Times" has no way to make a complete check of the list. Nu- merous errors have been discovered in lists issued in other army corps areas, and it is only through wide publicity and publication of names that these mistakes can be corrected.
 A partial list of the names of men charge with evading the draft will be published daily, and immediate cor rection will gladly be made if ser vice man whose name appears, fur nishes documents to prove that he was member of the army, navy or marine corps during the war.

DR.. Einstein Declares Amy One Can Understand His
Theory of Relativity-If He Studies and Gives
Absolutely Clear Explanation"

Pittsburgh, Aug. 27.-Dr. Albert
Einstein, noted German scientist, de-
MES a widely circulated report attrib-
uted to him that only ten men in the
world are capable of comprehending
his theory of relativity. The denial is
made in a letter just received by
George H. Lepper, Pittsburgh attor-
ney and scientist.
Doctor Einstein's letter. written
from Wustrow, Germany, July 30s is a
reply to a challenge of the Pittsburgh
er to the soundness of Einstein's gem
eral theory of relativity and the cur
rent version of the Michaelson-M Nor
ley experiment, it's cornerstone.
Makes It Absolutely Clear
EVERY earnest student of theoreti-
cal physics is in position to COM
prehend it," says Doctor Einstein, dis
cussing his theory, and adds that it is
up to every student to either accept
Einsteins theory or Newton's as the
two are in conflict.
TN order to cause refraction effect
equal to that observed, a gaseous at
mosphere would be needed preceding
a density so great as to be, for other
reasons, wholly inadmissible," the let
ter says.
THE perihelial movement of mer-
curry is the only anomalous one in our
planetary system which has been suf-
ficiently attested. The complicated
motion of the moon has not been ac-
counted for between theory and OBJ
servation." says Einstein.

Censor Board Action Docs Not Stop
Show at Auditorium.

Preparations for showing the film,
1.-THE Contrast" at the city auditorium
this afternoon and evening were going
forward. The film will be shown in
spite of the condemnation of the pic
ture by the state movie censor board,
was the last word this afternoon.
H. L. Howard, of the executive
committee of the Typographical union,
said that between 5000 and 1000
tickets had been sold. The union be-
Iieves the censor board has over
stepped it's authority IN ruling the film
out, he said, and nothing short of an
order from the district court will in
terfere with its exhibition this after
noon and tonight.
If any arrests are made following
the show, Howard said, 1t is probable
that the case will be fought in the
courts. The show would not be
stopped upon any order from the in
dustrial court, however, Howard inti-
mated.
'.Of course" he said, at should be
understood that we are not doing this
as a defy to anyone. We merely
think the censor board has over
stepped its authority. as there is surely
nothing in the state law that would
prohibit this picture being shown.

may have had something to do with

FEAR NO STRIKE.
Too Many Idle Men Want Jobs,
Say Railroad Chiefs.
Union Heads Warming to Mem
bers Greatly Discounted.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Railroad execu-
tives here today were not inclined to
consider seriously the strike threat
contained in yesterdays announcement
by the railway employees department
of the American Federation of Labor
rejecting the recent overtime ruling of
the United States railway labor board.
Strike" said one official, they
won't strike with 100000 outsiders
looking in. There won't be any strike
under present conditions with traffic
light
The fact that 100000 railway
workers are reported to be idle, was
regarded by several executives as the
chief deterrent to a strike at the pres
ent time. The executives intimated.
however, that if a strike comes, the
present would be an opportune time,
from their viewpoint.
The most critical factor in the rail-
road labor situation today. it was de-
clared today by observers, is the de-
cision of the labor board on piece
work Should the board reinstate
piece work in the railway shops, it is
believed it would be difficult to pre-
vent the shopmen from striking.
1t was believed today no positive
action of any sort would be taken by
the unions until after the completion
of the strike vote being taken among
the membership of the big four.
This vote is to be completed by Sep

afternoon. Dali Eireann adjourned

Georges letter of yesterday.
Both the Sim Fein cabinet and Dali
Ffreann met in secret session TODAY to
discuss Premier Lloyd Georges COM

Permission has been given to the
members of Dali Eireann to return to
their homes late Friday, but it was

flashed from London that the premier
was making reply to the Sim Fein
note.
The Sim Fein cabinet discussed the

Great Britain would never tolerate
separation from the empire.
I'VE cannot countenance separa-
tion," said the premier. IF we have
severance, 1t will lead to the most
cruel and most savage war that Ire
land has ever seen. Help would be
raised from all over the world to as
sist the parties fighting the battle"
The premier indicated his determi-
nation to prevent an open break. He
said that England could not witness
civil war of that kind at her own door
which would involve the people of the
British empire and other countries as
we'll"
Solemn warning to the Irish people
to heed the admonitions of Premier
Lloyd Georges rejoinder to the Sim
Frein note rejecting the English peace
proposals was printed by British and
some Irish newspapers today.
"Irishmen now must decide that 1t
is useless to pretend that the British
governments terms will be changed

men are urged not to be misled by the
vain belief that the British govern
ment will make any further conces-
sions."

bitter anti-Sinn Fein organ, in its
comment upon the premier's letter.
said:
IF the British cabinet abides by the
terminology, it is an ultimatum to the
rebels. Unless they haul down the

Union Jack, steps will be taken to
compel them to do So"

TO STOP BOMGARDNER
Injunction Suit Against Undertaking
Move Filed by Residents.

A suit asking that H. w. Bomgard-
ner, local undertaken, be enjoined
from opening his new funeral home
on West Sixth avenue near Topeka
boulevard. was filed in the district
court today by five property owners
in that vicinity. They declared that
the institution would depreciate the
value of their property.
The plaintiffs in the case are: Dr.
w. E. Heatherly, Ala West Sixth ave-
nue.: ]. c. Rouch, 40s West Sixth
avenue; George Burghart, 406 West
Sixth avenue, and E. G. Foster and
Mrs. R. c. Werth, who own apart
ments on Topeka boulevard not far
from the proposed new funeral home.
The petitioners assert that the con-
duct of funerals and the taking of
dead bodies to and from the place in
such close proximity to the residences
in that neighborhood would have a de-
pressing effect upon persons living
there and that there would also be
danger Of catching infectious diseases.
This would depreciate property values,
they argue.

More Than 26O Motorists Sent
to Station Friday Night.

Scores of motorists were visiting
police headquarters today to have
their, motor car lights inspected.
Sixty-nine motorists were arrested
Friday night, booked for driving with
bright lights and required to put up
SO cash bonds. About 200 more
were sent to the station to have their
lights examined.
The roundup will be continued to-
night, according to Capt. Morris Leon
ard. Motorists driving with lights
which do not comply with the ordi-
nance are liable to fine of from IS to
$500.
The city ordinances provide that
motor headlights must be etched,
ground or clouded. Clear glass lenses,
or lenses only partly clouded do not
comply with the ordinance. The
lenses with the little squares which
are not shaded are also unlawful.
Dillon and Warner lenses will pass at
least for the time being, it was said.
Victory auxiliary lenses. which clamp
over the clear glass lenses. are permis-
sible and comply with the law in every

The surest way to tell whether your
lights comply with the law is to turn
them on, then walk some distance
ahead and look squarely at them. If
