Chicago, June 19.-FoIks who desire
rejuvenation in the process of glandu-
lar transportation need not undergo
the ordeal of an operation. All they
have to do is to eat the glands.
This was the declaration of DR.. Roy
Upham of Brooklyn, president of the
American Institute of Homeopathy
which began its seventy-eighth annual
convention here today. His remarks
were made in connection with the dis
cussion of the gland transportation
operation recently performed upon
Harold F. Mccormick, Chicago mill
Iiona1re.
Results can be obtained" he de-
clared, by feeding glandular extracts
made from the pituitary, endocrine,
thyroid or superrenaI glands of the
hog or sheep.
DR.. Clarence Bartlett, president of
the Pennsylvania State Homeopathic
society was not SO sanguine. Such
an operation as that upon Mr.. Nc
Cormick," he said. may have to be
repeated at intervals in order to main
tain effective results and then the re-
suit is dubious"

HOTEL IS ASSURED
Topeka Hotel Company Ready
to Select a Lessee.
Stock Practically All Sub
scribed Says O. B. Cutler.

THE subscription of stock for the
Topeka Hotel company has progressed
far enough that we are ready to begin
negotiations to secure a lessee for the
property" o. B. Cutler, president of
the Topeka Hotel company stated
today. The hotel will be located at
Seventh and Jackson streets.
Cutler has called a meeting of the
directors of the hotel company to be

8 O'Clock, Wednesday evening" At
that meeting he will recommend to
the directors that they appoint a sub
committee empowered to negotiate
with various applicants for the lease
of the hotel, and to make their selec-
tion.
I'VE can't go ahead with plans and
specifications until we have arranged
with a tenant of the hotel. His ideas
and requirements will have to be taken
into account in planning the hotel"
Cutler stated today.
Stock Almost All Sold.
THE stock is practically all sub
scribed for at the present time

ton of the hotel a, sure thing"
Cutler stated that he would bring
up at the next meeting of the directors
a plan for the sale of the last remain

The attorney generals opinion is
to be rendered in the case of Mrs Lii
liam White, a teacher in the public
school at Eminence, FtnneyN county
Mrs. White tired of the drab life Of
the rural school and gave a dance in
the schoolhouse. The county super

Miss Wooster and the state superin-
tendent refused to sign her certificate e
when it expired some weeks ago. I'm

Eminence, Kan, June 19.-'There
will be a dance at the Eminence, Kan,
school house the night of July l, even
if the school board members are led
away to jail"
This is the note of defiance issued
by Earle Dixon, member of the board,
who has risen in defense of Mrs. Clara
White, school teacher, who has had
her certificate revoked because she
participated in a dance at the Emil
nence school house.
Now the state board of adTninistra-
ton and Richard j. Hopkins. attorney
general, are seeking a solution to the
legal question:
May dances be held in public
school buildings?"
Eminence, which is so named be-
cause of its elevation, is in Finney
county, thirty miles from a railroad.

of So.
Mrs. White, the center of the con-

Gently attended a dance with him in
the Eminence school house.
He is kind, good and very consid-

NO FIRECRACKERS
State Fire Marshal Won't Tilt
Lid on Fireworks.
Explosives Cannot Be Kept
Within 1000 Feet of Building.

With the Fourth of July less than
three weeks off, the younger set
thruout Kansas probably is wondering
if the state fire marshars department
is going to loosen up" and tilt the
lid that has kept the boys and girls
from having all the crackers they
want.
State Fire Marshal L. r. Hussey has
little to say about lifting the ban
which has been on the larger crackers
and fireworks for the past four years.
When asked if the regulations would
be made more moderate, he declared
that the orders which have been in
effect will again rule the activities on
independence Day.
This means, first of all, that the US
ing or keeping of any fireworks or
other explosives intended for celebra-
ton purposes within 1000 feet of any
building used for business or resi-
dence. or any barn or store house. any
stack of grain or feed, is forbidden.
This is the substance of the fire mar
shals order which governed last year
and which will again be in effect this
year.
Can't Use Big FIrecrackers.
But there is still some nope for
the boys and girls who are out for
big Fourth of July. Fire Marshal
Hussey said that only the larger and
highly explosive firecrackers will ac-
tualIy be banned. The smaller ones
known in boy language as racers
sparklers, pin wheels, chasers and
other fun-makers, considered harm
less. will still be within the state reg
ulations. Cannon crackers, the larger
sky rockets and torpedoes, are among
the forms that will be excluded.
ut Is only as a means of protecting
life and property that the regulations
are left in force" Mr.. Hussey said.
Before such regulations We're made
much property was usually lost and
many injuries sustained. 1t is for the
benefit of the boys and girls them
selves that the state prohibits the use
of some forms of fireworks"

the lower valley is augmented by the
fact that the San Juan river from
Monterey, Mex. and flowing into the
Rio Grande at Rio Grande City. is also
on a rampage.
At Eagle Pass. the international and
railway bridges were swept out.

will be sent to the supreme court N
the next day or two defining terms
of the agreement.
Under the compromise as an
nounced today Dewey pays $4,000 in
full and final settlement of the judg-
ments in civil damage suits brought
as a result of the old Dewey-Berry
feud. The judgment and interest
amounted to $4,000 or $4,000. The
settlements of the Berry claims were
on account of intervening petitions
filed in the receivership suit before
the supreme court.
Delinquent corporation tax fees
amounting to S625 are to be paid.
Claims amounting to $4,000 to $4,000
in penalties were urged by Attor-
ney General Hopkins in a recent hear
ing before the state charter board.
Dewey admitted claims due the state
for two years preceding suspension
of the corporations authority to do
business in Kansas. He made a ten
der of this amount.
Under the settlement plan as an
nounced today he will pay for the full
five year period since 1917. No pro-
vision is made for penalties. Cover
nor Allen sitting with the charter
board in the recent hearing stated he
would not veto any action by the

of the new party convention law.

of Clovet is contesting with two men
for the Democratic nomination for
United States senator, and Senator
Frank B. Kellogg, loyal supporter of
the national administration, has two
opponents in his race for renomina-

Party Has Endorsed Many.
Senator Kellogg, all present con-
gressmen except Charles F. Davis, and
ali state officers with the exception of
the clerk of the supreme court, have
the endorsement of Republican state
or district convention and by the
treatment accorded their opponents
today, political leaders will measure
the effectiveness of the convention law
passed by the 1921 legislature.
Under this law delegate to a
county convention of each party was
chosen in each election precinct and
the county conventions in turn elected
delegates to district and state conven-
tions which indorsed one candidate
for each elective office subject to
party designation.
Hallam Was His Opposition.
In the Republican state convention
in March opposition to Senator KEEL

the candidacy of Oscar Hailam, an
associate justice, but Kellogg carried
the convention decisively.

Leavenworth Man, Former Railroa
Commissioner, Files Today.

Frank J. Ryan of Leavenworth

TO PROTECT WHEAT FIELDS
State Will Take Precautions Against
Labor Disturbances.

The state will take precautions to
safeguard against labor disturbances
in the wheat fields. Governor Allen
today stated that he had sent notice
to all local and state peace officers
directing them to be alert as to 1. w.
W. activities or trouble by agitators.
Both the vagrancy act and the anti
syndicalism law are to be employed
in defending wheat growers against
action by radicals. Several reports
have come to state departments
regarding I. w. w. invasiop of wheat
counties. AS yet there have been no
serious disturbances. 1t is to protect
against either activity by agitators or
damage to wheat fields and harvest
machinery that the governor will d.
rect attention of peace officers.
In event a serious situation should
arise in any county the state depart
ments' will take action, the governor
state. He added, however, that moth
ing had arisen to indicate real trouble.
Just the same the state will be on the
alert and reports of conditions in all
sections of the state will be gathered
from peace officers and heads of en-
pIoyment bureaus.

ANSWER TO THIS IS SIMPLE.
Norwich Was Beaten Because-Whfsk.
away Was Too Fast!

New York, June 19.-Morvich, no
longer "the unbeaten," was expected
to leave today for Latonia. Ky. There,
in a special $4,000 race next Satur-
day against the cream of the 3-year-
oIds, he will seek to regain the pres
tige lost when he was beaten by Harry
Payne Whitney's Whiskaway in the
Carlton stakes at Aqueducr.
Whiskaway never was threatened
after taking the lead at the start and
won by eight lengths in 1886 3-5 for
the mile.
The explanation for Moryich's de-
feat is that Whiskaway was too fast
for him.
Norwich. after getting off to a poor
start, rallied and for a time kept with
in striking distance of the flying
Whiskaway but never closed the gap.
In the final sprint his rival drew rap
idly away.
