CAR TURNS OVER

Crowley-Mrs. Harry Spencer and
children had what might have been a
serious accident Saturday while on
their way to Ordway, when their
Dodge car turned over on its side.
The car was being driven at a slow
rate of speed and this no doubt saw
ed them from being seriously injur-

n cut on the face and the car dam
aged somewhat, one wheel being
broken badly and other damages.

Kansas Sunday Schools to
Aid in Censorirag Movies
Constructive Criticism VIII Be Considered by Gov Allen
in Letters From All Sections of kansas-Wants to
Know About Amy Objectionable Pictures.

Governor Allen has enlisted support
of the Kansas Sunday schools in re-
porting Objectionable movies and to
aid in meeting employment problems.
The governors plan was submitted to
the state Sunday school convention in
Hutchinson last week. 1t had its first
response in big bunch of letters from
Sunday school workers which greeted
the governor when he returned to his
office this morning.
To Help Unemployment Situation.
Constructive criticism-not blanket
denunciation-wi1l be considered by
the governor in letters solicited from
all sections of the state. 1t is prob
able that under his plan hundreds of
letters regarding the Kansas movies
will be sent to the state house every
week. In addition to reviews of the
film shows, the governor will seek to
relieve growing unemployment condi-
tions thru efforts of Sunday school
workers.
ut is my purpose" Governor Allen
told press representatives at today's
conference. ito gather constructive
and sensible criticism of the moving
pictures thru these Sunday school

WAIT WAGE
Railroads Must Delay Cuts
Pending Board Decision.
Cannot Estimate Expense Until
Pay Rolls Are Adjusted.

Washington, May Steps toward
a readjustment of railroad rates await
the decision of the railroad labor
board on the wages of employees, ac-
cording to belief of President Harding
and members of his cabinet today.
This was the conclusion reached fol-
lowing discussion of the railroad
problem at the last several cabinet
meetings.
With the question of wages decided,
railroads can estimate their operating
expenses more closely and the inter
state commerce commission can then
proceed to adjust rates with this in
mind.
While the labor board and the inter-
state commerce commission are look
ing into the rail difficulties, congress
will be conducting what promises to
be another long railroad investigation.
This investigation will start tomor-
row under authority of a resolution
recently proposed by Senator Cum
minis and adopted by the senate.
The investigation will seek to bring
out:
Not only what the needs of the rail-
roads are but what are the needs of
various industries which must be
served by the railroads to live.
Whether the railroads are running
as economically as prescribed by the
Esch-Cummins transportation act.
Whether the transportation act
must be changed and in what respects.

Fiye-Cent City Service Being
Organized in Topeka.
A $150.OOO Concern To Go Be-
fore Commission.

A motor bus line to operate on To-
peka streets with a franchise from
the city is a possibility that may come
before the city commission soon for
consideration, according to reliable
authority at the city hall today. Fare
on such a motor bus line probably
would be cents with an additional L
cent for transferring.
The adjustment of such a service
in Topeka has been contemplated for
several months. Should the motor
bus line receive the approval of the
city commission, it would be operated
under a company known as the To-
peka Motor Bus company, incorpor-
ated at not less than $150,0o0.
Conference Here Tuesday.
A. J. Shackleford of Kansas City,
Mo-, who is interested in promoting
the motor bus line in Topeka, VIII be
in the city Tuesday for conference
with Clay Hamilton, attorney for the
interests back of the plan. Whether
the matter will be presented to the
commission in the form of an ordi-
nance in a short time will be deter
mined within a few days.
The motor bus plan would have to
have local support, but the character
of the company to be organized, should
the plan be approved. has not been
divulged. 1t is probable that Topeka
money would not be needed for the
proposed company, as it is understood
that there is ample financial backing
for the project. Cities in many parts
of the country have adopted motor
bus lines that have proved satisfac-
tory.
Give Regular Service.
The motor cars to be operated under
such a, company would give daily serv-
ice from 6 o'clock in the morning to
10 o'clock at night. according to the
general plans of those interested. Dur
ing the rush hours of the day, the line
would give eight minute service and
at other times not less than twelve
minute service. The vehicles to be
used would be of large. modern con-
struction and standardized as to car
rying capacity.
City commissioners would not indi-
cate their attitude toward the motor
bus plan. as the matter has not been
presented in definite form to the COM
mission.

PRESSMEN WALK OUT


Thirty-three members of the press
mems union walked out of job shops
and book plants in Topeka Saturday,
joining the Typographical union and
bindery employees on strike for the
forty-four hour week.
The employees have left the press
rooms of all plants in Topeka except
those of the state printing plant, the
daily newspapers and the Capper pub
locations, an official of their union
said today.
Fifteen girls and boys who are not
members of the union are on strike as
synpathizers with the pressmen. and
there are some fifty pressmen still at
work, it was stated at the head
quarters of the union today.
There is no change in the status OF
the strike in general in Topeka today.
SO far as the binders and eompoSitors
are concerned. The strike has been
settled on a forty-four week basis with
a reduction in the scale of wages in
Chicago and an overlapping contract
in Kansas City is now the subject of
arbitration, with the probability of an
early settlement.
Notice was received by the officials
of Topeka Typographical union No
121 today that the international
Typographical union had raised the
strike benefit payments to men on
strike. from 81 for single men and $40
for married men, to $12 for single men,
and SIT for married men, per week.
The local union pays strike bene-
fits equal to those paid by the Inter-
national union, and will meet the in
crease.

But LITTLE KICK
Only One Reichstag Party
Against Accepting Allied Terms
President Ebert Cannot Find
Men for New Cabinet.
OLD MINISTERS may STAY
United States Wants Germany
to Give in on Pact.
Attitude Being Made Known in
Berlin UnOfficially.
OLD MINISTERS may STAY

Berlin, May 9.-Only the Volkspar-
tel wing of the German cabinet held
out today against accepting the allied
ultimatum. The cabinet was in ses-
sion thruout the afternoon. with indi-
cation that the last opposition might
be broken before adjournment.
Foreign Minister Simons was re-
ported to have convinced his col
leagues that there is small chance of
persuading the allies to propose softer
terms. Those members of the coali-
ton cabinet who still hold out against
acceptance of the terms were conf
dent the allies would not enjoy en-
forcement of the penalties and could
be persuaded to alter the reparations
conditions.
Cannot Find n New Cabinet.
The ultimatum assumed more i'm
portance today as the time of expira-
tion drew near. President Eberts lack
of success in finding man to form
a new cabinet threw the whole prob
lem on the only ministry which had
pledged to remain in office until a
new chancellor is found.
Meanwhile, the prime ministers of
all German states have been called
here. They not only will have a voice
in accepting the ultimatum as it ap-
plies to indemnity payments but they
will decide on other demands such as
disarmament. Bavaria as a state has
refused to obey the allied demand to
disband its armed forces.
e. S. Wants Berlin To Accept.
Washington, May 9.-The United
States government desires Germany
to accept the latest reparations de-
mand of the allies, it was learned on
high authority here today.
Officials would not say whether this
attitude of the United States has been
communicated to the German govern
ment but it was assumed it had been
made known to American Commis-
sioner Dresel in Berlin and by him
outlined 20 Germany.
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes are understood to feel
that acceptance by Germany of the
allied demands offers the best and
probably the only solution of the pres
ent crisis facing Europe in the repara-
tionS issue.
The latest allied demands for repa-
tions from Germany has been regard
ed as more lenient than the Paris de-
nands for 226, 900. 100000 gold marks.
which We're opposed by this govern
rnept as too drastic.
