Asks For Apology
No.D He's In Jail
Woman's Escort Advised Leaving Dia-
monds at Home-wcre Found on
Him This Morning.

Chicago. Jan. 17.-Mrs. Katherine
l.. Gibbons of Cleveland attended the
theater Saturday night. Her escort.
John Burke. warned her not to wear
her diamond rings because SO many
footpads were abroad in Chicago. She
left them at the home of the friends
she is visiting. When she returned
the rings were gone
Reporting the robbery to the police
Mrs Gibbons mentioned casually that
her escort excused himself in the Sec
ond act and did not return until near
ly the close of the play. Burke was
arrested but discharged for lack of
evidence.
This morning Burke went to city
detective headquarters and demanded
an apology. Something in his sauve
anger aroused the suspicious of the
city's sleuths. They rearrested him
and. according to official records
found in his possession three diamond
rings which later were identified az
Mrs. Gibbons's. The jewelry was vai-
ued at $500.

Senators Have Many Bills To
Introduce This Session.
Three Days Best Gives Them
Much Pep For Job.
TWO AGRICULTURAL MEASURES
Senator Huey Green To Intro.
duce Livestock Bill.
Board of Trade Gambling Will
Also Be Stopped.

The present senate of the state has
almost established a record for slow
ness in getting under way. That rec
ord bids fair to be lost when the sem
ate convenes at 4 o'clock this after
noon, however. The senators are GO
ing to start with a good deal of pep
when they do start, and the three day
rest which they have allowed them
selves since the strenuous job of or
ganization has left them in the best of
condition. They are not overturned
or stale.
Nearly every senator who went
home or stayed in Topeka over the
week end will have bill to present.
Not all of the bills which are ready
can possibly be presented tonight be-
fore the senate adjourns. But the
reading clerk is going to need his
throat lozenges if he handles them as
rapidly as they are checked to him.
Many Agricultural Bills.
The outstanding feature of the pro-
gram so far is the strength and inter-
est which is being shown by the agri-
cultural members. Two of the most
important bills which will be handed
in tonight deal with the agricultural
point of the farmer himself. And
after the meeting of the joint confer
ence of farmer members Tuesday
morning there will be something else
to consider.
There has not yet been announced
any member of the committee on ag-
riculture of the senate. One of the
first things after the convening of
that body this afternoon will probably
be the announcement of the remain
der of the committees by Lieutenant
Governor Huffman. A great ueal of
interest centerS on the personnel of
the committee which is going to have
the legislation submitted by the agri-
culturists under it's direct considera-
ton.
To Introduce Livestock Bill.
ITS against the law for a farmer
to sell livestock which he doesn't own.
If he did he would be prosecuted on
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. Why is it less of a
crime to sell wheat which you haven't
gof?"
That is the question which Sem
Huey r. Green, of Moline, Elk county,
wants answered, and also which he

BOOZE HAULING FORFElTS CAR
Supreme Court Decision Hits Auto
mobile Men Hard Blow.

Washington, Jan. I7.-An 'inno-
cent owner of an automobile used to
transport liquor for illegal purposes
can be deprived of his property right
in. the machine in case its confiscation
is ordered by a court. the supreme
court today held.
The decision will hit automobile
men who sell cars on the installment
plan. 1t means that if car is sold to
bootlegger and the offender is
caught, the dealer is likely to lose the
amount of unpaid installments.
The case arose when j. G. Thomp-
son of Georgia a taxi operator, was
arrested on charge of transporting
liquor upon which the tax had not
been paid.
He and w. II. Lamb were buying
the car on an installment plan from
J. w. Goldsmith, Jr., a dealer who
was retaining the ownership title. A
Georgia district court ordered the for
feiture of the machine regardless OF
Goldsmith's alleged property right.

JOINS ANT|-REDS new HOUSING Law
Russian Ambassador at Wash
ingtOn En- Route to Paris.
Plans to Balk Attempt at U. s.
Soviet Recognition.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Boris Bakh-
meteff, Russian ambassador here,
will sail this week to join conferences
of Russian anti-Bolshevik factions
now in progress in Paris.
The Paris conferences are under the
leadership of Alexander Kerensky,
head of the Russian government.
which followed the fall of the czar and
preceded the Bolshevik regime. Bakh-
meteff was representative of that
regime in Washington and still the ac-
credited Russian representative here,
despite the fact his government has
fallen.
Bakhmeteffs mission will be a
double one, it is understood. First, he
will carry to the foes of Bolshevism
just what they may expect in the way
of moral aid from the Harding admin
istration.
Second, he will gather information
as to the present position of the Boil
shevik regime and the hopes and aims
of it's foes. This information he will
be ready to lay before the administra-
ton in an attempt to prevent any rec
ognition of Lenine. either thru trade
or diplomatic channels.

BIC FIGHT IS DUE
House Divided on Increase OF
Own Membership.
Majority Against Proposed
Change-Biggest in History.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE first big
fight in the house this session seems
certain to come when the bill raising
the membership from 435 to 4S3 on
basis of increased population shown in
the last census, is called up for con-
sideration. This may be tomorrow or
Wednesday.
Virtually all leaders of both parties
in the house are against the increase,
one of the greatest in history. The Re-
publican steering committee today let
it be known that it is unanimously op-
posed. Speaker Gillett and ex-Speak-
ers Clark and Cannon take the same
attitude.
Doubt is expressed just as, to how
the rank and file will split up" altho
a canvass made by Republican leaders
of virtually all members is said to show
a majority for keeping the house at
its present size.

Local Contractors.

There has been no move toward the
organization of a cooperative, gen.

union men as yet o. S. True, of the
Carpenters union, said this morning
'.At least, there is nothing for publ

True said there had not been seer
any need for such a firm by the car

.'There are a large number of union
men who do general contracting work
already, and they are liable to take
on more" he said. 'All they need is
a little encouragement. But as far as
a cooperative firm on large scale
there is nothing doing on that yet"
Contractors Favor Plan.
The sentiment of the contractors in

in Topeka, members of the building
trades unions, is distinctly favorable.
The contractors believe that if the
union men go into the contracting
business for themselves and find Out
some of the things which the contrac-
tors have to contend with. it will be
much easier to reach an understand

House Will Get Down To Hard
Labor Soon.
Many Important Measures
Looked For This Week.
TO CONVENE THIS AFTERNOON
Governor Allen Shaping Mes.
sage on Industrial Court.
Fighting Issues May Not Come
Up For Week.

The Kansas legislature will get down
to hard. serious work this week. This
afternoon the second week of the ses-
sion starts. Both mills will be grind
ing at near capacity by the end of the
week.
After its week end adjournment the
house convened this afternoon at
o'clock. The senate met for a short
session at 4 o'clock.
Many Important Bills This Week.
Many of the important bills of the
session will go to the hoppers this
, week. Several of the administration
measures are expected to be out OF
. the way and ready for introduction.
Governor Allen is now shaping his spe-
cal message covering his plan to di-
Vorce the court of industrial relations,
This message may be withheld, tho.
until the two houses are further un-
der way and their course is more Ger.
tain.
The senate will begin introduction
of bills this afternoon. During the
first week of the session upper house
members did not propose either a new
law or change in existing statutes
Members of both houses. however.
have shown tendency to limit intro
duction of bills to problems of inn
mediate concern. Existing business
! tend to limit the number of bills Of
fered rather than create a demand
for new and speculative legislation.
Only One Test Last Week.
Fighting issues before the session
may not be clearly defined for a week
or ten days. The house fight over the
| Lambertson resolution of the road
question was the only test last week.
Whether the following of the former
speaker and Governor Allen will con-
tinue along the lines shown by the
vote is uncertain at this time.
! Lambertson's leadership with the
farmers, his known opposition to sew
eral administration policies and the
fact that he won the speakership as
an Allen candidate in 1919. may tend
to Civ, him a logical leadership among
the house ants. In the senate there
has been no contest since the John
son-Knapp fight on which to draw a
line on the tendencies of individual
members. The secretaryship contest
was settled by ballot.
Cigaret Bill Soon.
| 1t is probable that the bill to repeal
the cigaret bill will get to the iegisla-
ture this week. Several bills drafted
under provisions of the new farm ten
antry amendment are expected to be
offered. The administration dormi-
tory bill and the compensation bill
may be ready for introduction before
the legislators go home this week.
Practically all of the legislative COM
mittees will be appointed by the mid
die Of the week. Several house bills
are due to return from the committee
| rooms this week and that body may
work in committee of the whole this
week. Bills covering appropriations
| for legislative expenses will doubtless
be passed Tuesday. These are the
| first bills passed by a legislative ses-
sion.
| Members of the workmen's compen-
sation committee appointed by Cover
nor Allen will meet Tuesday in the
hearing room of the industrial court in
an effort to agree on final draft OF
| the bill.

Mrs. Minnie Minnich Urges City
Home Building.
To Operate Farm Tenantry
Measure in Kansas Towns.

1t won't be necessary to move away
out into the country to gain benefits
of Governor Aliens farm home plan if
Mrs. Minnie ]. Minnich, representative
from Sumner county, has her way.
Mrs. Minnich has a bill authorizing
Kansas towns and cities to meet the
housing situation by voting bonds for
nome construction. The homes would
be sold to the town and city dwellers
on the long term payment plan.
To Relieve Home Shortage.
Placing of the tenantry plan in op-
GRAFTON in the cities will relieve the
home shortage trouble, the Sumner
county woman believes. She believes
that If home ownership makes for
good citizenship that it should be en-
couraged in the cities as well as in
the rural districts. Her bill makes
optional with Kansas towns the issu-
ance of bonds for home construction
projects.
! While providing town residents a
place to live the bill would also give
the city folks a chance to own Their
own homes and pay for them on a
monthly basis. Plans similar to those
followed by building and loan associa-
ton would be adopted in making the
Minnich. theory of city home owner
ship possible. If the bill passes at this
session of the legislature it is probable
That theAcity of Wellington will con.
slider bond issue for home building
at it's city election.
VIII Aid Town Residents.
The farm tenantry amendment was
drafted with a view of aiding farmers
only Now it seems that the first bill
to come before the legislature under
the new amendment will directly aid
town residents. Mrs. Minnich believes
the various cities would, be able to
work out their housing problems under
her bill. The measures which she pro-
poses. tho, is certain to encounter a
real fight among members who have
declared opposition to the use of pub
lie funds for competition with private
business.
Senator L. H. Finney of Sumner
county will introduce the housing bill
