HORSE RACE PROGRAM AT GREAT FREE
FAIR TODAY TO BREAK ALL RECORDS:
HOLD THRILLING AUTO RACES FRIDAY
BAN ON GAMBLING!

The Free Fair association officers
and board of managers this afternoon
issued a statement in reference to the
enforcement of the anti-gambling law
among the concessions on the fair
grounds. The fair has gone to some
expense to keep officers in charge of
the overse eing of devices and the
statement today follows the arrest of
five men in charge of concessions
Wednesday, Two concessions were
closed Tuesday by the fair manage
ment because it was suspected that
they were in violation of the rules and
regulations.
The clean fair statement issued
by the officers and managers follows:
Arrests have been made and some
criticism has been heard following
the detection of alleged gambling
devices at the Free Fair.
The Fair association has detailed
two officers who have been watch
ing carefully. day and night, the
concessions on the grounds
These Officers cooperating with
the Fair management, closed two
concessions Tuesday and Wednesday
evening. acting with county and
state Officers, found three devices
running against the provisions of
the Fair management. These de-
vices were not authorized by the
Fair association. hut were run in"
without the permission or knowl-
edge of the management.
The Fair at all times has made
every effort to maintain clean con-
Cessions. Thousands of dollars in
concession rights have been refused
by the Officers of the Fair assOcia-
tion because the devices were sUs-
pccted. Other concessions have been
closed outright when it was discOv-
cred that gambling was i'll operation.
Last year. for instance. the Fair as
sociation cO-operated with the Fed
Grafton of Churches of Topeka in
preventing unlawful games on the
grounds

ling laws of the state and the estab-
lished rules of the Fair association

FRENCH GIRL DRIVER HERE
War Heroine VIII Enter Speed Con-
tests at Free Fair Tomorrow.

Mile. Belle Calvere, former lieuten-
ant in the French Red Cross Ambu-
lance corps in service overseas and
one of the first women to be sent to
the United States to instruct appli-
cants for chauffeurs' positions in the
American service. reached Topeka
Wednesday night and filed her entry
for the auto races to be held at the
Kansas Free Fair Friday afternoon.
Mile. Calvere remained in America
following the signing of the armistice
and has been making her home in
Detroit Mich. Her ability to drive
Automobiles has resulted in bringing
her into the professional class and for
the last several months she has been
entered in speed competitions thruout
the east.
Secretary Phil Eastman induced
the speed contests on Friday and Sat-
urday and arrangements have been
completed with the Essex Automobile
company to supply her with a spe-
cial built racing machine for the oc-
casion.
Since her advent into speed circles
| this year, Mile. Calvere has become
recognized as one of the greatest driv-
] ers that ever developed skill on cir
cular tracks in this country. Racing
! authorities predict that she will be a
sensation in the speed world before
| the close of this season and ii is pro-
| bable that steps will be taken to have
| her entered in the next Indianapolis
| sweepstakes classic.

doubt whether Leon Parks assisted
Church, despite a detailed confession
made by Parks.
He Confessed for'' Parks.
Officials pointed out that Parks
stoutly maintained his Innocence un-
til confronted by Church. who then
supplied most of the answers to ques-
tions put to Parks by the investi-
gators.
Mrs Church. who collapsed when
informed of Church's first confession
several days ago, sat apparently un-
moved today thruout her sons recital
of the details of the murders. At the
close of his story she shook her head
when asked if she had anything to
say. Later, she remarked:
IT cannot understand why Harvey
buried the man (Carl Ausmus) in the
garage. There is a vacant lot next
door where all the dead cats and dogs
in the neighborhood are buried. Why
did not he bury him there? Then
they never would have found him"
Church. in his first confession. said
he alone lured Daugherty and Ausmus
to his home, killed them and disposed
of the bodies to obtain possession of
an automobile. Later, he said he had
an accomplice and still later asserted
he had two accomplices.
Both Named Third Man.
Parks. one of the alleged accom-
plices, signed a written confession
telling in detail how he and Church
killed the two automobile salesmen,
threw Daughertys body in the river
and buried Ausmus's body in Church s
garage. Church and Parks both named
Wilder an associate, as the third man
involved.
Church. yesterday, is said to have
asserted he named Wilder because "he
knew Wilder could easily prove his
innocence" and said that the real
third man was Walker. Walker
like Wilder, was able to establish an
alibi apparently ironclad and Church
when brought face to face with him
is then said to have asserted that he
was not the walker who acted a<
third man"

ISSUES A WARNING
City Health Officer Alarmed
Over Two Epidemics.
Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever
on Increase Here.

The diphtheria and scarlet fever
epidemics have reached height
which DR.. Earle'G G. Brown. city health
officer, claims is the worst ever
lation, according to DR. Brown,
should watch every symptom and re-
port Immediately to a doctor for ex-
animation.
In the fifteen days of this month
j just past" said Brown, today, 1--WE
cases of diphtheria. We know of that
many. We are discovering new ones
every day. During the month of Au-
gust, only fifty cases were reported.
We are simply swamped with calls.
I am alarmed about the situation.
The medium of the press is the only
way we have of letting the people
know just the seriousness of things,
and if The State Journal will help US,
so much the better. Emphasize the
TACT that an anti-toxin, given early.
is the only possible chance for halting
the disease. Immediately notify
doctor if symptoms are prominent.
Every mother and father with a child
| infected with diphtheria germs should
insist on an anti-toxin. The diphthe-
/ ria germs, which permeate the entire
system, carry poison that is deadlier
than strychnine. If checked in time
the danger is minor, but too many
parents are inclined to lightly pass
over the disease. 1t should be con-
| sidered as one of the most serious of
| man."
! Five Deaths Reported.
During the epidemic. which started
August 6. five deaths have resulted
| Topeka has had nine deaths from
! diphtheria this year.
The scarlet fever epidemic has not
yet reached the dangerous mark
However, two scarlet fever deaths
have resulted this year A number of
| cases of the disease are on record at
| the board of health.
TT is a peculiar thing" said Doctor
Brown. but diphtheria and scarlet
fever are old run hing mates. Epi-
denies. like hard luck, never visit
alone-they are always in pairs For
instance, Wednesday we had reported
to us two cases. Upon examination
We found that the patients were dis
eased with both diphtheria and scar
let fever"
Doctor Brown is an enthusiastic be-
lever in the anti-toxin injection.
which was discovered in 1873, but not
actually put in use until 1894. If the
injection is used in time, Doctor
Brown says that it will materially aid
the fight against t. = disease.
IA person does not necessarily have
to be sick to have diphtheria," DIR.
Brown continued. Carriers of the
disease are not uncommon. Never
theless some of our cultures have
proven that positives were taken from
children, who complained of no all
ment in particular. Unless the anti
toxin is given early in the ailment, any
one of several after-effects might sci
in. We have had a few cases where
a form of throat muscle paralysis was
developed"
The disease, which has been con
fined to the north and east sides Of
the city, is rapidly spreading to the
west. and q number of cases have beer
found west of Kansas avenue Gases
are getting more serious daily, ac.
cording to DR.. Brown Altho a few case:
are still being reported that are not
of a serious nature, most of the cases
are serious and dangerous, he says.

KEEP ULSTER OUT
Lloyd George Refuses UniOnistS
Part in Conference.
Valera Note Accuses Britain of
"Rending" Ireland.

London, Sept. 15.-The Ulster I'm
ionists have requested representation
at the proposed Irish peace conference
at Inverness, but were refused by
Premier Lloyd George, it was learned
this afternoon.
The refusal was based upon the
premier's contention that the confer
ence with the Sim Feiners is but a
preliminary meeting and that later a
general parley will be held when all
Irish factions will be represented.
Dublin, Sept. 15.-The accusation
that the British government seeks to
rend the ancient nation of Ireland and
partition its territory" is made by
Eamonn de Valera in his latest note
to Premier Lloyd George. The con-
tents were made known this afternoon,
despite the fact that the premier re-
fused to accept it after he had read it.
De Valera said he hoped Irish peace
delegates will have reached Inverness
by September 20, the date proposed by
the premier for the opening of the
| parley.
The note goes into an Interpretation
of de Valera's favorite phrase. "a
| peace conference on the basis of the
consent of the governed" and con-
| cludea with the words: In reality, II
is your government that seeks to
rend our ancient nation and to par
| tition its territory"
Continuance of negotiations with
| the British. government with a view
| to establishing a basis for peace in
Ireland was believed here today to de-
pend largely upon the report sub
mitted to Eamonn de Valera and his
i colleagues by Harry Boland and Jo-
seph McGrath, the couriers sent tc
| Gairloch on Monday to confer with
| Prime Minister Lloyd George.
The two couriers were expected to
| lay before the Irish republican lead
ers the explanations given by the
prime minister of certain features OF
his latest note to Dublin plenipoten-
| tiaries to carry on the parleys with
Mr.. Lloyd George will go to Inverness
soon. There was a possibility, how
| ever, that the report of Boland and
McGrath would be such that there
! might be a break, at least for a time
| in the conversations that have beer
/ going on for the past two months.
| The prime minister was declared tc
| have tacitly admitted the republicans
| had a basis for some of their objec.
| tions to his offer of dominion status
/ to Ireland, as a basis for a settlement
| of the century-old controversy but ht
urged that these matters be brought

! cussed. Seemingly, the only hard anC
4 fast stipulations were that Ireland and
the British empire must not be di
vided

Won Distinction in Philippines.

During the Spanish-American war
Col. Hoisington won distinction in the
Philippines. During the world war he
sought rank with the fighting forces
overseas. Because of his age and
health he was denied a chance to go
into the fighting in France.
Col Hoisington first entered the
guard service in Michigan in 1875. He
served as an officer in the Kansas
guards during the late SOS and in 1895
was made a colonel. He has retained
his rank since that time and is pro-
badly the oldest man in point of serv-
ice in the Kansas guards at this time.
At present Col. Hoisington is in
command of the Fourth Kansas in
fantry. He was given the rank when
the new regiment was organized fol-
lowing the armistice and thus retain ed
his record for continuous service

merged with other troops when the
guards were federalized for war serv-
