Battle With Blacks.
Negroes Resisted Arrest When
Dry Raid Made.

Orange, Va. Oct. 24-One hundred
armed militia men from Charlottes-
vile and picked police from several
nearby towns patrolled the streets of

the officers were brought into Orange
500 angry citizens, armed with rifles,
shotguns and revolvers, started on the
negroes trail. The negroes were
cornered in a barn a few>miles from

bullets but the pair of negroes appar-
emily escaped unScathed. Then a

cases were called in the federal court

have been overloaded. authorities ex-

with the American Express company
to carry excess parcel post in the eX-
press cars when there was available

the thefts occurred, it is claimed
Attorneys for the accused men
stated to the court that a man in the
employ of the express company had
given the packages to the men, tell
ing them to keep them and no one
would be the wiser" The attorneys
charged it was a scheme to catch the
men in thievery and that the plan had
been carried too far. When ART ested
one of the men was wearing a pair
of shoes and another carried watch

the parcel post. Investigation, au-

strengthening the home ties upon
which the strength of our nation de-

TOOL OF FRANCE
Germans Claim French in New
Domination Scheme"
Press of Berlin Unit That
Charles Is UntruStWOrthy.

Berlin, oct. 24.-Charles is the tool
OF France!
This is the watchword of the whole
German press today from the militar-
list junker newspapers to the organs Of
the communist and Independent So
ciallsts. F.
What the German monarchists
would have hailed as the greatest
boon to their cause if it had been un-
dertaken by anybody else, is bitterly
condemned because Charles is now re-
garded as the instrument OF France
in what is branded her scheme to
bring Austria Hungary under her
domination and create Catholic
south German state, including Ba
varia under HapsoUrg rule. Germany
has been hostile to Charles ever since
war days, when, in the midst Of he
conflict, he made oYertures for a sep
arate peace to the allies. The Ger
mans contend that he cannot be
trusted.
All eyes in Berlin are now turned
towards Bavaria, the stronghold Of
German royaIist reaction. However,
all has been quiet so far and there
have not even been any monarchist
demonstrations made.
Germany is looking to the future
anxiousIy, fearing that the monarch
ist coup in Hungary may be the fore
runner of graver events which will
give France the background for mill
tary demands at the Washington con-
ference.
The situation is further complicated
by the cabinet crisis over Upper 81
lesia and the political confusion
which has followed the resignation of
the Wirth ministry.
Charles's exploits, coming on the
heels of the French victory in the Up
per SiIesian decision. has aroused high
feeling. Germany is left rudderless in
the midst of a double crisis, political
and economical. 1t is realized that
the Austrian republic would be grave
ly menaced if sixty thousand well
armed royalist troops should march
upon Vienna.
Whether or not the allies or the
'1ittle entente" will send troops into
the old dual monarchy to give battle
to the royalists was an unanswered
question.

The old John R. Mulvane residence
at the southwest corner of Sixth ave-
nue. and Madison street soon will be
nothing more than a modern apart
ment house. Together with the $50
foot square plot of beautiful lawn sur
rounding. it has been sold to Mrs. A.
w. Winant, Topeka, who expects to
use it for investment purposes.
According to present plans the old
residence will be remodeled into an
apartment house-probably four or
five three-room sections. On the other
ground will erected small homes for
rental purposes.
An Old Landmark.
The MuIvane residence is one of the
old landmarks of the city and state.
In the early sixties it was but a two
room structure in what was then the
best residence section of the city. To-
peka itself in those days was but a
village. struggling hard to grow into
a town and shake the stigma of cross
roads from its shoulders. Also many
of the residences were what the present
generation would call shacks. But the
Mulvane two-room place was even
then a mansion"
AS time passed and Topeka's pre-
tensions toward citydom took form,
the owners of the old house added to
and built around the original struc-

TO REGULATE IT
Uniform Method for Motor Car
Traffic Is Urged.
Automobile Dealers to Back
New Move in State.

One OF the most needed additions
to the statutes of Kansas, arising from
the rapidly increasing use of motor
cars in recent years, is a uniform
statewide regulation of motor car
traffic, according to A. L. Oliger, gen
Jeral manager of the Automobile Trade
sociation of Kansas. Automobile
dealers and owners generally, OIiger
asserts, will back a movement to get
such a law thru the next legislature.
A state traffic law was passed by the
senate in the last legislature, but did
not get thru the house, due to its late
consideration, according to its spon-
sors.
Oliger receives numerous letters
from members of the association, COM
planning of Inconvenience suffered by
tourists and cross-country drivers be-
cause of the widely different traffic
regulations in different towns. One
complainant told of a man who was
met by an officer on the outskirts of
one of the larger cities of Kansas, ar
rested and fined because his lights
were too bright. The motorist claimed
that he had DINNERS and on the re-
turn trip he again was met by the
officer who arrested him a second
time because his lights were too dim.
Used Glaring Headlights.
''At the same time" the letter said,
ffthe officer was using glazing head
lights and he failed to throw on dim
rners as he approached
Some letters assert that police Off
Gals endeavor to specify what kind OF
lenses the motorist must use and Il
his car is not equipped accordingly, he
is subjected to fine. A number OF
towns have parking laws which are
unwittingly violated by many tourists
because of their lack of knowledge of
the ordinances peculiar to some par
ticular town, Also many find them
selves under arrest for violation OF
speed limits, which vary all the way
form six to thirty miles in various
municipalities. It is contended that
a statewide regulation of traffic prob
ably would decrease police court reve-
nue. in a lot of Kansas towns, but GER
tainly would operate to the protection
and convenience of the motor car

years ago it We'd with the old George
w. Veale home on Quincy street as
the entertainment place for all distin-
guished visitors. Presidential candi-
dates, governor, generals, and famous
men and women from all parts of the
world have had Topeka hospitality in
side its portals.
In later years it was the home of
one of Topeka's richest and most in
.fluential men. 1t was the place in
which he died two years ago, and in
which Don Mulvane, his adopted son,
died several months later.
Ever since the property became
part of the Mulvane estate, it has been
one of the beauty spots of the city.
John R. Mulvane was a great lover of
flowers and shrubs and the grounds
annually were a blaze of petals of one
sort and another. 1t was probably the
first private residence in Topeka on
whose grounds orchids were success

Construction on the new houses and
reconstruction of the old home into

PROGRAMS ARE IN CONFLICT
Opening of Arms Farley and Burial of
Unknown Yank Both for Nov. IL.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Officials in
charge of arrangements for the arna-
ment conference and those formulat-
ing the program for the American I'M
known dead exercises Armistice day
are somewhat perplexed as to how the
two events can be arranged without
having the programs conflict.
The military escort for the unknown
dead is scheduled to leave the capitol
with President Harding and cabinet
members at its head at $3.50 o'clock on
the morning of November II. The eX-
ercises in the amphitheater at Airing
ton as planned would continue well
into the afternoon and would be fol-
lowed by luncheon for the distin-
guished visitors.
While the opening session OF the
conference would in the opinion OF
some officials be more appropriately
held in the morning and adjournment
taken out of respect to the American
unknown dead and in recognltlon OF
Armistice day, it would seem lmpos-
sibie to meet before s a. m. in order
to avoid conflict with the other pro
gram. it was said. Consequently, II
was thought probable that the 1nltlal
meeting of the conferences might be
postponed until late on the afternoon
of Armistice day.
