Passaic, N. J., Dec. 27.-Too poor
to marry. That was the reason that
impelled Thomas Brands. Is, and his
sweetheart, Matilda Rist, II, to take
their lives by poison here early to-
day, the boy told the police at the gen
eral hospital where. he died.
Thomas was employed as q clerk by
local mill, and the girl was a stenog-
rapher.
Found Need for Wedding.
The-boy and girl met about a year
ago and soon became fast friends. The
friendship developed and they were
together on every possible occasion.
Because of thier youth and the fact
that Thomas was just starting on his
career and was not making enough
money. they had not planned an early
marriage.
Last Saturday, however. the girl
confided to her sweetheart that she
felt they should marry soon They
talked it over and decided that this

ASH Pile HID RADIUM
Third of Valuable Metal Reeov-
cred From Furnace Waste of
Newton Hospital - Had Been
Burned With Patients Bandages.

Newton, Kan, Dec. 27.-Eastern
scientists to whom were shipped ashes
from the AXtell hospital here, in
which, it was believed a quantity of
radium would be found, report that
they have recovered about $1,000 or
about one-third of the radium lost,
from 800 pounds of ashes.
The radium disappeared about two
months ago. Investigation prompted
the theory that it had found its way
to the furnace in bandages removed
from patients
More ashes will be sent to the chem
lists in the hope of recovering prac-
tically all the precious substance that
disappeared.

INJURIES BOY. SPEEDS AWAY
Unknown Motorist Drags Bicycle Two
BIocks-WiIIard Garhart Hurt.

After running into Willard Garhart,
16, and dragging his bicycle for two
blocks, an unknown motorist this
morning threw the bicycle into the al
ley between Kansas avenue and Quincy
street on East Seventh street and
got away without his identity becom-
ing known.
The Garhart boy, who is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs Edison Garhart. 1928
Harrison street. sustained a bad scalp
wound extending from his ear to the
top of his head, in addition to severe
bruises about the body. The accident
occurred at Ninth street and Kansas
avenue about 1920 o'clock this morn
ing.
When the Buick roadster struck the
bicycle. Garhart was thrown to the
pavement. The biclcle caught under
the car, which the driver speeded up.
and was dragged to Seventh street.
Here the motorist turned west,
stopped at the alley, disengaged the
bicycle and sped on. The police were
called but the driver had made his
getaway and as no one had taken the
license number the officers have no
clue to work on. The side curtains
were on the car SO that it was diff
cult to get a good view of the driver
especially as it was still dark.
Garhart's condition is not grave, It
was said.

Alexander HoWat and August
DOrchy Want Freedom.
Application for Writ of Habeas
Corpus Filed Here.
CASE TO Be HEARD MONDAY
New Move Takes Case Out of
State Courts.
Petition States That Industrial
Law Violates Constitution.

Alexander Howat and August
Dorchy took their industrial court
fight into the United States district
court today when they sought release
from the Cherokee county Jail for vio-
lation of the labor court law. Appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus di-
recting release of the two men were
filed in Topeka today with Frank
Campbell clerk of the United States
district court
It is likely that the cases will be
presented to Judge John c. Pollock in
Kansas City, Kan, next Monday. No
returns have been made, but court Of
ficials today indicated that a prompt
hearing of the applications might be
expected. Entrance of Howat and
Dorchy into the federal court came as
a surprise to state officials and mem
bers of the industrial court. The move
takes the fight out of the hands OF
state courts and calls for an early set
tlement in the federal tribunal.
Petitions Filed I'm Federal Court.
Petitions were filed in the federal
court on the assertion that the Kansas
! industrial court law violates the
United States constitution and that
/ the two men are deprived of their lib
erty in violation of their constitutional
rights. Thru the actions today Howat
and Dorchy lay ground plans for an
other test of the state labor court law.
OF almost equal importance to the
new move to test validity of the act is
the fact that Howat and Dorchy have
wiggled out of state court jurisdiction
and found opportunity to test the state
law in federal courts removed from
state political issues.
Dorchy and Howat are now In the
Cherokee county jail at Columbus
where they are serving six months
sentences for violations of provisions
of the Industrial court law. Since
the men went to Jail thousands of
miners in the Crawford and Cherokee
county coal fields have been on a
! strike in protest against punishment Of
their leaders and enforcement of thu
Industrial court act International of
ricers of the mine workers union have
taken issue with Howat and his lieu
| tenants and they have been removed
from office because of their action in
violating contracts between the mine
workers union and the operators.
Mines Now in Operation.
Recently nearly 5000 wives daugh-
ters and sweethearts of mine workers
! patrolled the mines and effected clos
ing of practically every mine in the
district in this state. As a result of
conditions troops were sent into the
fields. Many of the mines are now
being operated.
Phil Gallery of Pittsburg and L. S.
Harvey of Kansas City, former as
sistant United States district attorney
under Fred Robertson, filed the pc
| tltions for Howat and Dorchy

Expect Big Sensation.
The Morning Posts correspondent

sensation before the Dali meets

Eamon de Valera intends to announce
withdrawal of his opposition in view
of the weight of opinion for the treaty.
The Times sent a special correspon-

the correspondent, the councils action

CUT GRAIN FREIGHT RATES
Reduced Charges Put Into Effect by
Two Kansas Roads.

Reduced freight rates on grain and
hay were put in effect today by the
Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads.
Other roads will establish new rates
ordered by the interstate comm erce
commission. Their tariffs will be pub
lished in a few days.
In addition to the reductions
ordered by the federal commission on
grain and hay and applicable to a
number of western and mid-western
states, a general 10 per cent reduc-
ton on freight rates will be made by
the roads. The rate is not in addition
to the average 16 per cent grain and
hay slash in states affected, but applies
to all other commodities. The 10 per
cent cut was made voluntarily by the
roads. The 16 per cent decrease
granted by the I. c. c. was equal to
one-half of the rate increase which the
roads made on the same commodities
more than a year ago.
Application of the 10 per cent gen
eral reduction is for a trial period Of
six months. Future freight rates will
be determined on the basis of show
ings made under the new tariffs.

Only City in Country Showing Gain in
Holiday Business.


With an increase of from Is to 20
per cent in holiday business over last
year, Topeka has been a bright spot
on the map of the American Railway
Express company this month, accord
ing to E. E. sBrayman, local manager,
who says that the company's business
here has been better than at any other
point in this part of the country.
From the reports 1 have received
Topeka is the only place where the
business this Christmas showed an in
crease over last year" said Brayman
today. ITO be real honest, the COM
pany, on account of the general con-
ditions, was not expecting a big busi-
ness this year and while this seems
to have been true at many other
places we got real surprise here. We
would have been satisfied with the
usual holiday business but we actually
showed an increase of from Is to 20
per cent"
Despite the increase, Brayman says
the business was handled easier and
with less congestion than ever before.
This was largely due, he says, to the
fact that the rush began early and
continued in a steady volume elimi-
rating entirely the usual last minute
jam. The peak days for outgoing
business were December 10 and 20
and final delivery of all Topeka pack
ages was made Sunday and Monday
forenoon

Brings Them on Market.

Moscow. Dec. 27-The economic
policy permitting free trade within
Russia has brought from their hiding
places a large number Of paintings,
some attributed to famous artists.
Among these are the works by VIM.
Hogarth, Jean Baptiste Greuze. Chris
tan Dietrich, Rosa DeTivoi and
others, the Italians and Dutch pre-
dominating.
Tho the prices these works are
bringing are ridiculously small. they
are genuine. A portrait OF a woman
attributed to Greuze was sold to for
eign buyer for $3.50. It was originally
owned by the Countess Sollohub. who
was stripped of her wealth and estate
in the Povroskaya district and impris-
oned by the Bolsheyiki. She. sold Il

Paintings by well known Russian
