CHECKS
STOLEN IN CITY?
Bank of Topeka Messenger
Loses Valuable Satchel.
Payment Stopped and Bank
Suffers No Loss.
all CnVEREn pY IMeIIRANeE
ALL COVERED BY INSURANCE
Representatives of Companies
Here for Investigation.
Bank Officials Refuse to Give
Out Information.

The loss by the Bank of Topeka of
a satchel said to contain approx
mately $4,000 in checks became
known today. They are said to have
been stolen from messenger boy who
was taking them to the office of the
American Express company.
The theft will result in practically
no loss to the bank, it was indicated.
owing to the fact that a record of the
checks was in possession of the bank.
Payment on all the checks has been
stopped and the bank has called for
duplicates. Nearly all depositors are
responding promptly to the call for
duplicate checks, it was stated.
Give No Information.
Altho bank officials today refused to
give out any information concerning
the loss, it is understood that the
satchel disappeared when the messen-
ger boy placed it on the floor for a
moment while transacting some busi-
ness at the window of the Central
National bank. When he went to pick
up the satchel it was gone.
The loss was Immediately reported
to the police and postal authorities,
but no trace of the thief or thieves
has been found. At least a part of
the loss is understood to have been
covered by insurance and it was stated
that a representative of the insur-
ance company from Kansas City was
vote due late Saturday.

BLOCK PEACEPACT
American Demand Germany AS
sumo War Responsibility.
Chancellor Wirth Seeks to Side
step Clause.

Berlin, Aug. German-American
peace negotiations for a separate
treaty were reported today to have
reached a deadlock over the American
demand that Germany must recognize
responsibility for the world war.
Chancellor Wirth is consulting with
leaders of the various political fac
tions and if no satisfa ctory solution is
reached, the Wirth cabinet may pe-
sign, opening the way for creation of
a nationalist ministry.
The Wirth government is the object
of attacks from all quarters, not only
on account of the American peace de-
manded but because of the necessary
tax burden it is imposing upon the
country and because of the threatened
loss Of Upper Silesia.
Chancellor Wirth and his advisers
are trying to find a way to sidestep
the war responsibility clause of the
proposed American treaty, but so far
they have not found a way to do so.
Washington, Aug. IS. - There are
no serious obstacles in the way of
informal negotions for peace treaty
with Germany, which are now being
carried on in Berlin by American
Commissioner Dresel, the state depart
ment announced today.
Officials refuse to confirm or deny
Berlin reports that Germany is refus-
ing to accept responsibility for the
war, but expressed confidence that
the negotiations would proceed salts
factorily.

Both G.. o. P. and Demos .0p-
pose Disarmament.
Open Sessions of Conference To
Be Main Objective,
3ORAH MAY join DEMOS
Purpose and Results of Farley
to Start New Debate.
Underwood Thought May De-
cline Harding Appointment.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The demand
for open sessions of the coming con-
ference on disarmament and Far
Eastern questions is growing among
both Democratic and Republican SEN
ators today.
A hot fight is anticipated over the
proposal of Senator Harrison, Demo-
crat of Mississippi, for open sessions
which he offered as n amendment to
the bill carrying an APPROPRIATED of
$2OO,OOO to meet all the expense, of
American participation in the confer
ence.
Borah May Flop.
Senator Borah, Republican, of Ida
no, and johnson, Republican, of Cali
fornia, are among those on the Re
publican side who are expected to join
with Harrison and other Democratic
senators in insisting on the adoption
of the amendment.
If the threatened battle is protract-
ed. it may hold up the appropriation
and incidentally that for $4S, 100000
for the shipping board which the bill
also carries, until after the senate re-
cess which is to start on August "a.
May ProIong Debate.
The administration forces will
doubtless fight the amendment on the
ground that the administration should
not be tied by the act of the senate to
any policy governing or affecting the
conference.
But the fight is likely to provoke
another debate on the probable pur-
pose and results of the conference
which promise to occupy much of the
senate's attention up to and during the
time the conference is held.
Underwood May Decline.
The knowledge that the president is
considering the appointment of former
Secretary of State Elihu Root as one
of the American representatives at the
conference, is stirring up considerable
trouble from those senators whose
views on national and international
questions are widely divergent from
Roots.
Another development today was the
reported disinclination of Senator I'm
derwood, of Alabama, the Democratic
minority leader of the senate, toVae-
cept the presidents proffer of a place
at the conference table. Underwood
is absent from Washington, but some
Democratic senators closely associated
with him expressed the opinion that
he would refuse to serve as an Ameri-
can delegate to the conference.

Someone must have stolen Col.
Charles L. Mitchelrs uniform. Two
days and a night of desperate search
ing have failed to produce the gor-
geous state regalia. Desperate and
frenzied search has been made of the
Mitchell home. A frantic appeal has
been sent to Mrs. Mitchell who is
away UP in the lake country. This
afternoon the detected Colonel
Mitchell went to the official review
ing stand at the colored Knights of
Pythias' gathering on the fair grounds
in civ!es.
Late Wednesday afternoon Colonel
Mitchell, who holds the rank of chief
of staff to the governor, began pre-
liminary arrangements for official re-
views today and Friday of the worlds
convention of colored knights of
Pythias. Governor Allen was absent.
Emmett George. private secretary, was
to officiate in his stead. Response
bility weighed heavy on Colonel
of the governors secretary must be
offset by the pomp and dignity dis
played by the official staff. And
Colonel Mitchell planned nothing less
than a thoro cleaning, pressing and
renovation of the two pup tents which
had been sewed and pieced together
to provide him with a form fitting
uniform.
Fifteen minutes after the search be-
gan, Colonel Mitchell was perspiring
generously. At the end of an hour
the score showed wrecked clothes
closets, dozens of emptied drawers and
countless scattered linens that could
not be repacked without the careful
touch of the Mrs. But there was no
uniform.
Colonel Mitchell raced his car to the
office. The uniform was not there.

END CONFERENCE SATURDAY
Shop Crafts and Santa Fe Officials
Settling Questions.

The conference between representa-
tives of the six shop crafts and Santa
Fe officials for the purpose of franz
ing a new set of working rules for the
shop forces is still in session and will
continue until sometime next week,
altho 1t is expected that the principal
work of the conference will be con-
cluded by Saturday night.
]. F. McGrath, vice president of the
employees department of the American
Federation of Labor, and chairman Of
the shop crafts committee, said he
had nothing to give out for publica-
ton except that the conference was
making favorable progress.
Another member of the committee.
however, says that practically all of
the questions before the conference
will have been disposed of one way or
the other by Saturday night, but that
additional time will be required next
week for both sides to prepare their
arguments" on the questions that will
go to the United States labor board
for final decision. Checking up the
agreements that have been made and
agreeing to disagree on the other
questions is the principal work of the
conference this week, he said.

Montana Father Badly Scratched and
Bruised by Bird.

Butte, Mont, Aug 1S.-While pick
ing berries at a Sunday school picnic
south of Butte yesterday afternoon,
Albert Pierce fought with and killed
an eagle which attacked his ten
months old baby which he was hold

determined to have his prey, which in
the clash was dropped into the grass.
The father, after beating off the at
tack, first with a rock, seized a heavy
stick and killed the eagle after fight
lasting ten minutes. The baby was
uninjured, but the fathers face was
badly scratched and bruised The

Governors Chiefof
Staff Cannot Find
His Hashy Uniform
Two Days and Night of Desperate Searching Does Not
Reveal Hiding Place Planned by WifeCol Charles l..
Mitchell Must Review K of P Parade.

The garage was searched. Not a bit
of evidence for.the defense.
Early this morning the basement
was Invaded. Nothing doing. The at
tic has been combed and raked. No
uniform. There isn't a square foot of
space in the Mitchell home on Fill
more street that is just as Mrs. Mitch
ell left it.
Today a rush with expenses guar
anteed" telegram was sent to Mrs.
Mitchell. That message must be tele-
phoned from a small station in Wis
consin to another station ten miles
away. Then it must be relayed by
telephone to a farm house six miles
distant. There a messenger is ex-
pected to carry it over three miles of
where Mrs. Mitchell is enjoying a cool
August afternoon.
In the meantime the review at the
fair grounds has started. There is no
word from the far off northland.
Colonel Mitchell is reviewing plumed
knights in mere civies. A world con-
vention is denied inspection by Colonel
Mitchell in all his glory.
And unless Mrs. Mitchell solves the
problem and sends some word tonight,
Colonel Mitchell must repeat his per-
formanee Friday when the grand pa
rade passes the governors reviewing
stand in front of Memorial hall.
Any clue to that missing uniform
can be sold for good money if deliv-
cred before 10 O'Clock Friday morn
ing. If someone really burglared the
yards and yards of clothing-and the
uniform doesn't ft-the garments may
be returned at a profit.
Otherwise a special session of the
legislature may be necessary to make
a deficiency and emergency appropria-
ton to properly equip Colonel Mitchell
for future responsibilities.

EMBEzZLER is PARDONED
Former Aviation Service Man Freed
Too Ill to Leave Leavenworth.

Too Ill to Leave LeavenwOrth.
Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 1s.-Lloyd
Dill, former aviation corps lieutenant,
serving a term in Leavenworth prison
for embezzlement, has been pardoned,
but it was feared today that the par
don has come too late. When told this
morning that he was free, Dill was
unable to leave the prison hospital to
be fitted out in his freedom suit.
Dill is suffering from tuberculosis
and prison authorities today were puz-
zied to know what to do with him. 1t
is reported that his family has re-
nounced him.
The aviator was stationed at Fort
Sam Houston and had charge of
money belonging to Chinese, which he
was charged with having appropriated.
He was received in the prison June 10,
1920.
DilPs hope today was to gain enough
strength to permit returning to San
Antonio, but prison officials said that
his hope may never be realized, as he
is in a serious condition.

ITO Get STATE AID
Three Counties Take Advantage
of New 1921 Road Law.
Shawnee, SedgWick, Leaven-
worth Approve Nine Projects.

Three counties-Sedgwick, Shawnee
and Leavenworth-so far have taken
advantage of the state aid" law
passed by the 1921 legislature under
the good roads amendment. These
counties have approved nine projects
for state aid" totalling 17SA miles,
according to reports received by the
Kansas highway commission. In adj
dition, Wyandotte county proposes to
construct the final link in the Fort
to-Fort road. six miles, under state
aid"
The twenty-eight miles of Sedgwick
county roads to receive state aid'
are also receiving federal aid. Fed
eral aid projects in the state total
about $50 miles.
NJ. w. Watson, state highway en-
gineer, estimates that 100000 will
be available annually for road con-
struction under the increased automo-
BILE license tax which became effective
July l. Out of the total fee so cents
goes to cover cost of furnishing tags
and $3.50 goes to the road dragging
fund. The balance may be used by
the counties as the commissioners may
see fit. The maximum aid that may
be granted is rs per cent, but not to
exceed $4,000 a mile.
Road Work Is Slow.
In the first six months the new law
is in operation, Engineer Watson be-
lieves that not more than 10 per cent
of the counties will initiate road con-
struction with ''state aid" In the cal
endar year 1922 he believes that not
to exceed 25 per cent of the counties
will initiate road building work.
Members of the highway commits
sion and other good road advocates
were opposed to enactment of the
present law on the ground it is in
reality a county aid rather than a
state aid law and that under it no
centralized and unified system of state
highways can be developed

BOYS TELL OF KIDNAPPING.
Escaped From Captors Near Excelsior
Springs, They Tell Police.

Excelsior Springs, Mo, Aug. 1S.-4
Carl Howard, IL, and Leonard Clio.
IL, are being held here while invests
cation is made of a story of kidnap-
ing they told the police last night.
The boys, both of whom live in Kansas
City, say they were abducted yester-
day by three men in motor car
when they asked for ride.
They say they escaped about a mile
from here when the man who was
guarding them on the rear seat of the
car went into a store. The police. at
first skeptical, are now inclined to
believe their story
