MAY START SOON
Not Later Than Spring Will
Theater Work Begin.
Uncertainty as to Site for New
100000 House.

Work will begin this fall or not
later than next spring on Topeka s
new 100000 theater to be built by
L. NJ. and Roy Crawford and by L.
NJ. Miller of Wichita, it was an
nounced today by the Crawfords.
The site will be selected in a few
days. The Crawfords own or have
option on several Kansas avenue loca-
tions but no action has been taken
toward the settlement until confer
ence can be held with Miller.
I'VE prefer Kansas avenue loca-
tion," Roy Crawford said today. But
it may be necessary to extend to a
side street. Under no circumstances
will a theater be built west of Jack
son or east of Quincy Streets"
The Crawfords are elated at the
prospect of bringing the Miller inter-
ests of Wichita into the Topeka fields.
81 never have seen better appointed
and better managed theaters than the
Miller houses" Roy Crawford said to-
day. Nothing in the country is bet
ter"
The new theater will be built pri-
marily for motion pictures, altho it will
have a stage larger than in any other
theater in Topeka. 1t will have a
seating capacity of 1900 persons.
Architects will be working on the
plans in a few days.

quarter in the Washburn-Baker grid
iron battle on Washburn field was
to o. Baker outplayed the Locals
during the entire period.
Washburn kicked off to Baker. Fol-
lowing an exchange of punts Baker
secured the ball in the middle of the
field and forced its way to Washburn's s
ten yard line on line plunges and long
end runs. The white and blue tenn
porarily stopped the onslaught and
then Baker carried the ball to Wash
burns two yard line. A tumble robbed
the visitors OF an immediate chance
to score
Washburn punted to its own fifteen
yard line and Baker renewed its at
tack for a touchdown.
Due to the strong wind from the
south and west the Methodists out
kicked the Ichabods by far. Oakes,
Washburn kicker, was unable to
overcome the disadvantage of the
wind. Thornily is doing the toe work
for Baker.

than SO per cent of the audience, esti-
mated at more than 5000, left the

When the governor directed his at
tack against the Klan he started by
saying that Undoubtedly there were
many good citizens in the order, but
that he would fight the Klan to the
limit and that it's death knell would
be sounded in Kansas within six
months.

Rev. ChristIer and Slayer Vic
tins of Insanity.
Officials Decide That Inquest Is
Unnecessary.
FINGER STILL ON TRIGGER
No Doubt Mrs. Carleton Killed
Pastor and Self.
Letters, Torn to Bits, Throw No
Light ON Case.

Havre, Mont, Oct 2S-The Rev.
Leonard Jacob Christler. rector of st.
Marks Church of the Incarnation
here, and widely known as the bishop
of all outdoors" and Mrs. Marguer-
ite Carleton, wife of a former Mon
tana district judge, who were found
shot to death yesterday in the clergy
mans home within a few feet of the
room occupied by Mrs. Christler were
the victims, of temporary insanity on
the part of Mrs. Carleton, local Off
cials believed today.
So sure are the officials the deaths
represent murder and a suicide, that
Coroner John Holland and the sher-
ifs office last night announced no
inquest would be held unless relatives
of the dead man and woman insist on
one. The theory of the officers re-
ceived@ confirmation from DR.. D. S.
Mackenzie, called immed -ately after
arrived the pistol was still grasped in
Mrs. Carleton's hand and her finger
was still on the trigger.
Unable to Find Motive.
In an unsuccessful effort to estab-
lish a motive for the shooting, Off
GERS yesterday pieced together a num-
ber of letters found torn to bits in the
hotel room Mrs. Carleton had occu-
pied. They declared, however, that
they could find no mention of the
dead clergyman in these letters, which
were from Mrs. Carleton'S mother,
daughter, and husband, former Judge
Frank Carleton, from whom she was
separated.
One of the letters from the hus-
band, officers said, mentioned that he
was sending her a sum of money.
Mrs. Christler said Mrs. Carleton
came to the Christler home late last
Thursday night and remained until
Friday morning talking to the Rev
erend and Mrs. Christler When she
! companied her toward the exit, the
widow said, and had just shut a door
between a small hall and the room
where Mrs. Christler was left, when
two shots rang out. Mrs. Christler
opened the door and found the bodies,
that of Mrs. Carleton fallen across the
minister's body.
All Were Well Known.
All of the principals in the tragedy
were well known. The Rev. Christler
was as years of age, and had held
pastorates in New York and New Jer-
sey. He came to Montana in 1907 as
missionary of the Milk river valley and
had developed his field into one of the
largest mission territories in the
United States.
Relatives Demand Inquest.
Great Falls, Mont, Oct. 2S.-Chief
of Police Moran, of Havre, informed
the Great Falls Leader that there
would be an inquest into the deaths of
the Rev. Leonard Christler and Mrs.
! Marguerite Carleton, as he upderstood
the relatives of the dead woman had
demanded it and that United States
Senator T. ]. Walsh had been retained
as attorney for Mrs. J. H. Pyle, mother
/ of Mrs. Carleton.
