Topeka Police Use New Method of Dispensing Crowd of
Unruly Strikers Near Santa Fe Shops-Every-
one in Vicinity Wept

On the desk of the sergeant at po-
lice headquarters it was discovered
the tear gas bomb which dispersed a
crowd of unruly men at the Santa
Fe shops this week when threats and
argument from the police had failed
to accomplish anything except an

polished smooth, with a seam running
around its equator. But Jess Hill,
captain of detectives, handled it with
respect - almost with reverence -
when he took it from its box.

Immediately vaporized, looked like
heavy white smoke, and spreading

spot where it was dropped, rose into
the air and made everyone in the vi

been used in Topeka, than at any fu-

KANE WAS RIGHT.
Former TOpekan Demonstrates
Movie Fans Want Story First.
Leases Philadelphia Theater to
Show Classical Pictures.

Not to be outdone by Roy Crawford.
former Topeka theatrical man, Arthur
S. Kane, former Topeka newspaper
man and now president of Associated
Exhibitors, has for the last month
been a. theater manager, duplicating
Roy's stunt in New York of several
months ago. Kane leased for a month
of the hottest weather Philadelphia
could produce, the Aldine theater, and
produced there several of his own
films,
While Crawrord's stunt was ex-
ecuted to put over THE Isle of Zorda"
in Broadway house, Kane leased the
Philadelphia theater to show that if
properly handled pictures which lack
the names of great stars, yet which
have intense stories, can be offered
the public successfully. He picked the
summer time for his experiment, SO as
to stack the cards against himself as
much as possible, the summer months
the very worst in the year for the
show business.
He presented at the Aldine pictures
based on literary classics such as
Power Within, and THE Isle OF
Zorda". and packed his leased theater
for the whole month. Years ago, in
partnership with Roy Crawford, Mr..
Kane directed circuit of theaters in
the middle west, using Topeka as his
headquarters. He used the same
means of putting over his venture in
Philadelphia as he and his former
partner used in Kansas. Mr.. Crawford
is still associated with him and as
sisted in the experiment. He is now
vice president and treasurer of Asso-
ciated Exhibitors.

SYSTEM said Mr.. Kane in speaking of
his experiment at Philadelphia. IT
still believe in stars and the value of
their names in presenting a picture to
the public, but I argue that picture

ment has shown conclusively that

didn't know what had happened, ex-
cept that it was something very, very
sad. Ignorance wasn't bliss, either.
The less they knew, the harder they
wept. They didn't ask for any further
reason for weeping
TT reminds me of the story of the
two Irishmen/ who were eating
mustard for the first time. Neither
of them had ever tasted mustard be-
fore. The first one determined to try
it. He smeared half an inch of it on
his bread, and took a huge bite of

he wept, he passed the mustard to his
partner.
"'What are yez cryin' about?' the
second Irishman wanted to know, as
he in turn literally applied the
mustard to his bread.

satisfied and took as large hifR of

tears came to his eyes also.

"'Ye dirthy- spalpeen, Dim cryin'

They Wept and Moved On.
The police had been trying vainly
to break up the crowd at the shop
gates. The strikers refused to move
on, and showed a disposition to argue
the case with the officers, when the
of the law decided that

The police themselves wept, and
moved on" and there was no further
trouble that evening.

PLAN HONOR ROLL
Record VIII Be Made of Promi'
nent College Graduates.
VIII Take Place of Camps
AH-Star Team.

Walter Camps mythical a1l-Ameri-
can football eleven will be replaced
In the annual football guide this year
by a roll of honor containing the
names of noted football graduates of
the various schools, colleges and uni
versities of the country together with
a record of their achievements after
graduation.
The work of compiling the list Is
being completed at present, a task
which has taken much time. Each
institution is sending in its own
list, Harvard, for instance has for
warded 100 names of former players
which is considered by the authorities
of that university as being fairly rep
resentative of pigskin players. Many
other colleges are selecting their men
and are sending in their lists. How
ever, up to the present time Columbia

to send in their roll of honor. Morn
ingside university officers failed to
see how success in life after a football

versity.
Substitute for An-American.
At the last meeting of the inter
collegiate footb-4I coaches it was de-
cided to substitute the roll of honor
Tor the alI-Amerlcan eleven. @InG idea
of choosing the eleven was greatly
opposed and especially so by num-
Der of the western delegates. Their
particular reason for wanting the
change made was on account of the
fact that football spread over sd much
territory that it hardly seemed fair
to let any one individual make a selec<
ton. Walter Camp made no protest
to their decision but heartily agreed
to the proposition. He had been chos-
en- to edit the new honor roll.
It has been the custom for many
years for Mr.. Camp to pick his annual
mythical eleven and it is not known1
at present as to whether he will give
up this custom or not However it
seems that since there is so mucn
public interest in the selections made
by him that tlis alone will be suffi-
Gent to induce him to continue to
make the selections even If they are
not to be used in the official guide. 4

was discovered that she had j
voice, she taught herself, and, after
many rebuffs, Galli-Curci made her
debut in Rome at the Constant OPP
era house in "Rigoletto". 1t may
be interesting to note that for this
performance she received only
$6.25. Besides her interest in the
piano and in singing. Galli-Curci
made an ardent student of Ian
guages and literature. She took
highest honors as a Iinguist at the
International Institute of Lam
guages, Milan, and first prize in
literature. at the Liceo Alessandro
Manzoni. She sings in six Ian
guages, English, French, Italian,
Spanish, German and Russian.
Seldom does a great opera singer
excel in the concert field as well,
but GaIi-Curci has proved that she
is equally at home in either. II
beth coloratura and lyric roles she
has won success, and as a singer
of ballads she is second to none.
A great artist, a charming, Gull
tured Woman-Galli-Cur is the
wonder of her time.
