TEAR UP RAILS
General Strike in Mexico Tests
Obregon's Strength.
Government Responds to YiO-
lence by Sending Troops.

Mexico City, Feb. ga general
railway strike threatened today to
test the strength of the new Obregon
government. President Obregon met
the threat of strike by stationing
troops in railway offices here and dis
patching others to take possession of
outlying stations. Much damage al
ready has been inflicted on railway
property.
Workers late yesterday tore up a
long section of the Colima road to the
west coast, scattering ties and rails
and effectively stopping traffic.
Several telegraph stations were en-
tered, instruments being destroyed
and the buildings damaged.
The general labor situation has been
disquieting for months and it was
brought to crisis durin gthe recent
Pan-American labor congress here
when radicals protested that Mexican
delegates did not represent Mexican
labor.
Reports have been current that the
radicals were being financed from the
outside. 1t was believed that a rail-
way strike would be followed quickly
by demonstrations in other lines of
work

HALF IS THEIR OWN CASH
University Students Arc Not Spending
/ Such an Awful Lot of Dads Money

Such an AWfui Lot OF Dads Money.
Lawrence. Kan, Feb. 23.-Approxi-
mately so per cent of the money spent
by University of Kansas students is
from their own earnings. This is
shown by the answers OF twelve hun
Idred students who replied to question
naires submitted by Registrar George
10. Foster. The money for their ex-
penses came from these sources: Per-
lsonal savings, 80 per cent; earned
while in school. II per cent; received
from parents, 3 per cent; borrowed, s
per cent.
Additional light on the self reliance
per cent of the K. U. students are en-
Itire1y self supporting and an addi-
Itiona1 % per cent are partially so.
Naturally more men than women are
able to earn their own way thru
school. Seventy per cent of the men
are either entirely or partially self
supporting.
Details of their expenditures were
given by the K. U. students. The aver
age amount paid for board is 1857 a
week. The natural hunger of youth
is seemingly proven bv an additional
s1.13 spent each week for extra meals
Average room rent is shown to be
1888 a month. The high cost of cloth
ing until recently is reflected by the
reported expenditure of S153-6S an
nNalIy for wearing apparel and shoes.
Hundreds Of students send their laun-
dry home. Those who have it done in
Lawrence average $2.S7 a month in
laundry expenditure.

TO TAKE BONDS
Wilson Would Accept German
Securities From Belgium.
Recommends Congress Pass
Laws Permitting Action.

Washington. Feb. 22.-Enactment
of legislation authorizing the treasury
department to accept German bonds in
full payment of Belgium's debt to the
United States. contracted before the
signing of the armistice, was recon-
mended to congress today by President
Wilson. The total OF this debt was
placed at $171, 100000, with interest
from April Is, 1919. Including sums
advanced since the armistice, however,
Belgium owes the United States ap-
proximately $343,445, 900.
In submitting his recommendation,
the president transmitted a COPY of
an agreement entered into with Bel
GUM by the British and French pre-
miers and himself to recommend to
their respective governments that spe-
cial German bonds to be delivered to
the reparations commission be ac-
cepted in an amount corresponding to
the sums which Belgium had bor-
rowed from the United States Britain
and France prior to the armistice.
This agreement was drawn and
signed at Paris on June 16, 1919, and
was addressed to NJ. Hymans, Belgian
minister for foreign affairs. The pres
ident said tat for various reasons
the agreement was not embodied in
the treaty of peace. The Preparations
commission, congress was informed,
has not as yet finally determined the
details of the issuance of the neces-
sary bonds by the German govern
ment, the president said, but that "in
view of the approaching termination
of my administration I have brought
this matter to your attention, hoping
that suitable action may be taken at
the approximate time

jected to Passage of Act.

The biggest division Ahich has &C.
Cured in the senate since the discus
sion of the bills for bringing the in,
dustrial welfare commission under the
management of the industrial court OF
the state, came in the war on the Tay-
Tor road bill staged Tuesday after
noon.
: The fight attracted the biggest
crowd of spectators which the senate
has seen, and uncorked more oratory
than has any other measure.
s Senator Taylor's bill, with the COM
mittee amendment which accompan-
led it, provides that whenever there is
to be built any road which is to cost
according to the estimate of the coun-
ty engineer, more than $4,000 a mile
the electors of the county shall have
a chance to decide, at a general OIL
special election, whether or not the
road is to be built.
Reno County in Protest.
Reno county, judging from the de-
bate in the senate, and the statements
OF Senator Taylor on the floor, has
been badly ''stung" on some road
building projects, and the people
want to handle the purse strings
themselves in the future. The sting
ing amounted to about $2,000.000 and
the Reno county senator is mostly
against anything which doesn't have
to go to the public for approval.
The opponents of his bill urged
that because he had vivid memories OF
crookedness and misfortune in his own
county he was trying to hamper the

RECOMMEND BANK BILLS
Senate Favors More Punishment fol
Robbing a Bank.


Senate Fayors More Punishment for
Robbing Bank.
The state senate has set out to make
it hard for the bank bandit who has
been hourishing entirely too much to
suit the committee on banks and bank
ing.
The senate in committee OF the
whole, has recommended the passage
of bills by the committee on banks
and banking which will make the
penalty for robbing bank or attempt
ing to do so, ten to fifty years at hard
labor.
Another committee bill which af-
fords a way in which the stock of a
share holder in a bank who happens
to owe the bank money may be sold
for the satisfaction of his obligation to
the institution, was recommended Tor
passage on third reading.
Still another committee bill which
provides that there shall be no more
days of grace for the payment OF
any note or other negotiable financial
instrument, was recommended for pas
sage by the senate committee OF. the
whole. The bill makes the notes pay
able on the day on which they come
due, or on the next following business
day If they mature on legal MONDAY.
The appropriations for the Girls

and the Education and Industrial IN
stitute for the colored people, at To-
peka, were presented to the senate
Tuesday afternoon, and an emergency
having been declared, were passed so
that they might go to the house. The
final pay bill for the legislators them
selves, and their employees, was also
given the same course.

Increased Activity of Railroad
Equipment Is Significant.

Hardin, Manchuria, Feb. 22.-Milf-
tary operations by the Russian Boil
sheviki against japanese forces in ST.
IBERIA are believed to be foreshadowed
by concentrations of soviet troops in
the eastern end of the country. There
were fifty thousand Bolsheviki SOL
diers in Chita recently and more are
said to be arriving at intervals.
Units are declared to be proceeding
to, points further east, assembling
principally in the Primorsky district
and along the Manchurian frontier.
While badly clothed and fed, these
soldiers are reported to be well armed
and under severe discipline.
Plenty Food Is Excuse.
Eighteen thousand troops have ar
rived at Verkhnie-Udins from Mos
COW. At Khabarovsk on the Amur
river about forty thousand Bolsheviki
troops are concentrated and these are
gradually being moved south to points
official reason given by the Bolsheviki
for dispatching troops to Khabaroysk
is that there are large supplies of
grain there, sufficient to maintain the
troops for a year.
On the other hand, reports from
there indicate that the supplies avail
able are sufficient for only about a
month. To increase the regular and
guerilla forces, the Bolsheviki author
tiles are said to be modifying the pop
ulation of the Russian far east
This step would have the double
purpose of increasing the military

Fear Future Jap Plans.
Troops are distributed along the
whole line of railway from China east
to the Manchurian frontier. At Man
chuli, on the border, Bolshevik or
CARNATIONS have been formed and are
asserted to be smuggling agents thru
into Manchuria for the work of pDopa-
ganda.
Activity is noticeable in the move
ment of locomotives and cars from the
Ussuri railway connecting Khabar-
ovsk and Nikolsk) to the Amur rail-
way, which forms the connecting link
with Transatlantic thru Russian ter
ritory. Food supplies are being moved
by rail from Vladivostok into the
Primorsk province and attempts have
been made to smuggle arms into these
regions. -,
The Bolsheviki fear, according to in
formation received here, that the jap
anese may create an opposition .buffer
state in the Primorsk region by
spring, in which event they might
make use of the Kahpel and Semenoff
troops. whose long experience in guer-
rilla warfare would be extremely valu-
able.
The appointment of the Japanese
General Tachibana to command troops
in Siberia is commented upon as sig
nificant.

rest of the counties in their road
building.
Some of the senators from the east
, ern end of the state objected strenu-
ously to the bill because Of the reluc-
lance of their counties to build roads
for one section of the county
Against Road Building.
Senator Coleman declared that the
bill originated from the faction which
has set its face like flint against road
building in this state, from the early
days of this session and the resolution
which was submitted in the other end
of the state house."
The hackers of the bill. several of
them, inferred that they believed the
ing o. the cement and brick manufac-
turers.
Senator Satterthwaite, who seem I'd
to be the spokesman for the roads
committee, since Senator Kyle, the
chairman of that committee, which
had recommended the bill for passage,
and had added the amendment which
the antagonists fought most heartily.
was in the chair of the committee ON
the whole. based his argument on the
assertion that $4,000 a mile was
enough to pay for the roads anyhow.
and if they could not be built at that
rate now they can be built at that fig
ure when the prices of labor and ma
terials return to normal again, as ne
is convinced they will.
Vote Was 23 to 16.
The vote on the amendment was %
to 16 in it's favor, and the final vote
on the recommendation of the bill for
passage as amended, was taken viva
voce. and not counted. There may be
another fight on the bill when it
comes W on third reading. If the adj
ministration forces, which were behind
the opposition to it. can rally them
selves and get five more votes, the bill
will be killed. 1t is not subject to
amendment or debate at the present
time.
Before the bill was finally recon-
mended for passage. Senator Coleman
submitted an amendment which would
nave placed the limit at $4,000 a mile
instead Of at $25 900 a mile, but the
amendment lost out.

Crop Failures
Drive Farmers

Houston, Tex, Feb. 23.-Bootlegging
Respected farmers are the chief
moonshiners. Some of the best citizens
are bootlegging. Those were the state
ments today of Prohibition Office:
Write, chief of the south Texas dis
trict.

the most common professions follow
ed" White said. Its the rarest thing in
the world for the federal agents TO
find a man, regardless of his station
in life, who will aid them in running
down the hootch violators."
Farmers are the chief moonshiners,
according to White. Two years of crop
failures, need of money and high prices
paid for anything producing intoxica-
ton, were given as causes for this con-
dition by White. -

HEYDLER DEFENDS lands
Baseball Magnate Declares Bribe In

New York; Feb. 23.-John A. Heyd-
Ter of the National league, defended
Judge Lands against the campaigns
being made against him in a statement
made public here today.
when public man makes state
men that baseball Is paying a big sal
airy to Judge Lands in the nature of a
bribe, then that mosl is either wilfully
misrepresenting the whole situation or
he is woefully ignorant of the facts"
he said.
The National league boss also drew
attention to the fact that the two big
baseball cases now in court are not
within the jurisdiction of Lands and
he expressed the opinion that he will
devote his entire time to baseball soon.
altho he regrets 'if, in seeking to
strengthen our national game, the
country should be deprived of a 5urist
of high character as Judge Lands"

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Feb. 3.-WHEAT-Strength de-
yeloped In the wheat market today owing
more or less to word that Greece had
bought 100000 bushels over the holiday.
Gossip that farm deliveries would decrease
after February tended also to encourage
bullish continent. 1t was said that assess
ing time would be past and that field work
would be occupying the attention OF farm
ers. Opening quotations, which varied from
unchanged figures to &c higher with
March $1.72A to s1.721k and May s162 to
$1.62h were followed by moderate gains
all around and then something of re-
action.
Later the market sagged. Predictions
were current that on account of decreased
consumption farm reserves would be larger
than expected. The close was easy, &c to
Ne net lower, with March $1.71A to $1.711a
and May $1.61h.
opening a shade to &c lower. including
May at 711sc to 719sc, the market scored
an upturn for all deliveries.
The market subsequently weakened be-
cause of assertions that the farm reserves
March I would be the largest on record.
Prices closed steady, &c to sc. to 15c net
lower with May 71A@71%c to 71ssc.
OATS-Oats were firmer as a result of
the advance in other cereals. The start
was unchanged to Ac higher, May Acc to
46H C and there were general gains later.
PROVISIONS-Higher quotations on
hogs helped to lift provisions.
