CRUISE TO SUPREME COURT
Friend of Late Kathleen Foley in
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.


Habeas corpus proceedings to secure
release under a charge of wife muir
der were filed in the supreme court
today by George w. Cruise of Wichita.
Cruise was recently held to trial in the
Sedgwick county district court under
$4,000 bond.
Cruise was under fire in connection
with the recent death of Miss Kath-
leen Foley of Topeka. who died sud
denly and under mysterious circum-
stances after she had been summoned
as a witness in the Cruise case. She
had kept company With Cruise and had
corresponded with him frequently.
In the petition filed in the supreme
court today it is urged that insuffi-
cient evidence was produced in the
preliminary hearing to establish com
mission of a crime or to connect Cruise
with the death of his wife. His petit
ton asks that the order of the justice
court holding him to trial in the dis
trict court be set aside. The case was
set for hearing next Thursday and
will be submitted on brief.

MEXICO 0PENS.ITS
 FIRST B|G EXHIBIT
Was Designed to Appeal to the Prospective Investor in
 Mexico and Is Complete
By Associated Press

Los Angeles, July 23.-The Mexican government has opened here it's, first permanent agricultural exhibit in the United States.
 It consists of display of Mexican products gathered from all sections of the republic and fills an entire floor of a downtown office building.
 The exhibit was designed to appeal to the prospective investor in Mex ico. Connected with the display, which is similar to the exhibits of a chamber of commerce, are officials to furnish information to those com templating strating business with or in Mexico The exhibit was put in through Samuel c. Vazquez, with the Mexican department of agriculture and development
 The move is announced as an evidence of Mexico's determination to redeem herself as great produc- tive nation and as one of the first steps in,the Obregon administration $ programme to branch out into com mercial centers of the United States and to call attention to Mexico as land of commercial opportunities and promise.

settlement is provisionally made with Sim Fein, Ulster may then come into the conference on terms enabling her, while retaining her present status, to discuss those matters of common concern which Craig has in mind.
 Sir James might prefer to dic- cuss these matters with the represen- tatives of southern Ireland alone, and l believe that would also be De- Naleras preference, but he could not well decline to discuss them with or in the presence of the prime minister if asked to do so. Since reaching Belfast, Sir James has ex- pressed willingness to return to Lon don if summoned. This sums up the Ulster position. While not very helpful it cannot be said to be ob- structive. It is in accordance with the outstanding facts in the situation.
 How about the other side? The hope ful feature at the moment is that the conversations have continued and from this it may be inferred some. progress has been made toward an agreement. While the separate republic idea has disappeared from the. negotiations, the further idea of Ulster subordnation to the south- ern authorities is of great 2noment not being pressed and real, practi- cal issues have been reached
 Room for Settlement
 In that region of reality there is room for settlement by men honestly seeking it. Sir James Craig with hIs offer to matters of common concern really has opened the door. The next move is with DeValera and those he represents. They are out for prac. tical politics. settlement is possi ble. The true line of statesmanship would seem to be just of accommc dalton, It is quite possible to get a large measure of self government for southern Ireland which will leave the door open for wide cooperation with the north if, or when there s mutual willingness for cooperation on matters of common concern"
 A united Ireland would then cono as time, with healing in it's wings obliterated past events and brought new interests and common tasks in the regeneration of the unfortunate country.
 Meantime. it is worthy of note that the truce with Sim Fein has been scrupulously kept on both sides There has been no vestige of trouble On the contrary, there has been fra termination of Imperial and Sim Fem forces in south and west Ireland This proves two things. It shows on the part of Sim Fein very com. plete control or very efficient con- trol
 But it shows something better, for it indicates a willingness on bott sides to bury the past and live n amity. Lloyd George and Devalera should be able to abide on the bet ter feeling. Indeed they must, foi to go back to intensified conflict is unthinkable.
 The acceptances by the other al lied countries of President Harding's invitation to the Washington dis. armament conference have been noted with satisfaction, and great hopes are centered on the coming confer. ence.
 It is interesting to record that al the league conference the committes on disarmament organized laboi spoke with no uncertain voice. Thu. it is clear that labor has almost reached the turning point tin it's at titude toward the government hay ing huge expenses in maintaining armies and navies. The Washington conference, therefore, must accom-. plish something.

RADIO COMPASS
 IS VERY VALUABLE

Washington, July 23.--A remark time value of the radio compass, a war development. was furnished during the recent passage of Battle ship Division Five of the Atlantic fleet from Hampton Roads to Bos- ton, according to an announcement at the navy department. The entire voyage was made in heavy fog and navigation all the way was accom- plished by shore raido compass sta- tions. Submarine bells and soundings, not light or fixed aid to navigation being sighted on the trip.
 From the time departure was taken until Boston lightship was picked up not a light vessel or lighthouse was seen" says re- port from Vice Admiral Fl. r. Jones, commanding the battleship force. .'The fog was so dense that during tern of the division flagship were invisible" Had it not been for the radio compass situation the arrival of Battleship Division Five would have been greatly delayed. The praticaI demonstration of radio di- rection finding is a clear indication of the military value of radio conn pass stations and of the necessity for continued development along this line. Radio compass stations heve now been established along the coasts so that vessels at sea in foggy weather can communicate with the stations and in few minutes es- tablish their correct position, Abou, I2,500 ships now receive the service each month, it was announced.

 London, July 23.-(Special. )-The Irish settlement still hangs fire, but in as much as the conversations are continuing there is reason to believe a favorable outcome is possible.
 However. there can be no anal gama tion of north and south Ireland until the people of north and south Ireland desire it of its own free will and accord. The idea of separate Irish republic has gone by the boards.
 Any settlement which is reached will have to be based for the time being on separate authorities for the two hearts of the Emerald Isle. This would not keep the people of the two sections apart if there should come

a real desire to get together, but in the absence of that desire artificial cooperation would be futile.
 DeNalera, the representative of Sim Fein, has, of course. demanded recognition of the traditional claims of Irish nationalism. He is against Ulster having a large degree of au- thority, but has claimed that this autonomy should be derived from an authority representing all of Ireland.
 Ulster on the other hand, has been no less clear. Sir James Craig has said that Ulster wants to be left alone, and in any case to be un- der allegiance only to the imperial authority. At the same time he would put no obstacles in the way of settlement between Lloyd George, the prime minister and De- Valera, and in the event of a settle- ment he would cordially cooperate with southern Ireland in matters of common concern"
 No Real Defiance

For Good of the
 Community

THE general who stopped his column to wait on wounded soldier would lose the bat tie. The law of accomplishment is submerge- ment of the individual in the good of the mass. Leaders who look no further than personal ties and considerations fail to reach the goal
 Queen Elizabeth took off the head of Essex, of whom she was personally fond, but she listened all during her reign to the sage counsels of Bur leigh. Vain and frivolous in her personal atti- tude she saw the state only in affairs of state.
 Noman lived lonelier than Lincoln. None was less understood by his associates. Lincoln hewed at principle while others aimed at that immediately before their face. Greatness of soul cannot explain itself always to those whose vision is circumscribed by environment.
 Christ marched on to death when compromise with the Pharisees and custom would have saved Him. He looked into the forward centuries and died for them The golden rule was His funeral pyre, but out of it's ashes emerged a world in which men hoped.
 Times were when Washington was forced to incur the enmity of some of his most gallant young generals for the sake of the discipline of the continental army. A storm ragged about his head when he advanced the Frenchman Lafay- cite over Americans longer in the service.
 Lafayette represented powerful ally. In advancing him Washington was serving the cause of his country. Great men hew to the line that points to attainment They do not pause to consider the plaudt of the moment.
 Men who court personal popularity enjoy the same fame as actors. It is much the same line of work The actor applies himself to win applause and is successful in the measure of that which is accorded The orator who speaks to hear the wild yells of his hearers seldom leads them be- yond the yes.
 Birmingham had a big man who hitched his car to big work He mapped out plan and visioned structure. Many times in the course of it's building critics arose to Hay him because the plan was his ideal and individuals were sec ond to the plan. The structure finally arose. His memory is cherished by those who now realize the beauty and symmetry of what he builded, because he could rise above the per sonal.
 Henry Ford is still dubbed "a clever adver- tiser" by those who envy his remarkable career. 1t nevertheless remains that he has made new record in American industry by stubborn devo- tion to the principles of efficiency, making all else subservient to that.
 The quality of being all things to all men is one that should be carefully approached and ginger ly considered It should be taken along with that other exhortation that bids man be true to himself. Only he is safe in his own estimation who does what he himself approves None other may supply lost sef-esteem.
 A man not constructed for personal popular ity should not make mountebank of himself seeking it., If he does what is right whether he has that quality which wins love or has it not, he
