of the Grand river, which unites near

Thousands of acres of the finest

DYE CASE IS UP
Sale, of Hundreds of Patents by
Alien Property Man Probed.
Justice Department Makes 1t
Clear Fraud Not Sure.
tBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, July 12.-Investigation
by the special federal war frauds
grand jury of the sale of hum
dreds of German dye patents by the
alien property custodian in 1919 to
the Chemical Foundation, Inc, is ex-
pected to be carried on concurrently
with other important cases already
taken up. it was said today.
The dye patent sale cases. which
was opened yesterday with the appear
ance of Francis p. Garvan, custodian
when the sale was contaminated and
now president of the purchasing COM
pany. was declared authoritatively to
be the first step in a sweeping inquiry
into the entire history of the Gus
todian's office since its inception.
Mr.. Caravan, refusing to open the
records of the company to Assistant
Attorney General Grim, as representa-
tive of the department of justice. said
he had offered the entire record to the
grand jury. His charge that Ger
manic influence was behind the move
to force return of the patents to the
government, brought a formal denial
from Attorney General Daugherty and
a statement that every American In
terest would be protected.
The government was said today to
have practically completed presenta-
''old hickory case. followed by the
aviation contract cases. will be pre-
scented, according to present plans, as
soon as the lumber case is out OF the
way.
Determination to investigate al
acts of the alien property custodian:
office was said to have Deen reached
last week, and after the president
action Gas taken ordering Custodian
Miller to proceed against the chemi-
cal foundation for the return of the
former enemy owned patents
This decision was said to have beer
actuated by a desire on the part of ad-
ministration to have tine only quail
fled body''-a grand jury-to pass or
the subject of alien property as the
best means of clearing up the situa-
ton which has been a point of attack
from congress, the press and pub
lie"
The grand jury investigation does
not mean, it was emphasized, that the
department of justice has been con-
WINGED itself that fraud or criminality
has been disclosed.

been postponed. The United Brethren
team will play the Rock Island team
Thursday evening at Southwestern
League park.
All city Fairgrounds will be closed
on July IL on account of Capper's pic
mic. Each of the playground super
visors will be in charge of one of the

The attendance at the city play
grounds this week will probably be
the poorest of the entire season. L. P.
Dittemore. city playground director,

always decreases the attendance
greatly. Capper's picnic always takes
q great deal of interest from the play
grounds. too, he said.

BOLIN TO BEGIN PRISON TERM
Carm Hand Sentenced to From Ten
to Twenty-One Years.

James Bolin. farm hand. will be
taken to the state penitentiary at
Lansing by Sheriff Robert Miller to-
morrow to begin serving a term of
from ten to twenty-one years for
arson. He was convicted by a Jury
last fall and his motion for a new trial
was overruled in the district court in
April.
The charge against Bolin followed
the burning of the farm house of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Owens, near Berry
ton, the night OF February 20. 1891,
and the finding of their charred bodies
in the ashes. It was alleged that Bo-
lin set fire to the house after killing
the aged couple and robbing them.
nltho arson was the specific crime
with which the farm hand was
charged.
Bolin has always maintained his in
nocence and at the time his motion
for q new trial was overruled, de-
ciared he was going to serve time for
a crime he had never committed. He
still claims he was with Mrs. Kate
wiscombe in Topeka at the time of
the fire, but Mrs. Wiscombe denied
this at the time of the trial. An APP
peal to the supreme court, which was
talked of following Bolin's sentence.
failed to n1aterialize.

SHE TEACHES LIPREADIKG
Mrs. Verna o. Randall Starts School
in Topeka Y. w. G. A.

Can you imagine the joy of a per-
son who, thru deafness, has suffered
years of loneliness within walls of 81
lence, when he finds that the pleas
ures of conversational intercourse are
opened to him thru the study of lip
reading? Persons who have been deaf
for years and have become stolid,
lethargic and hopeless IN their iSola-
ton from mental contact with per-
sons about them, have been trans
formed into different beings thru the
medium of lip reading and find them
selves well able to transact business,
travel and carry on conversation as
alertly as tho they heard perfectly.
It is said that per cent of the
population of the United States are
almost totally deaf. The state of
Kansas has established schools for the
aid of deaf children but no provision
has been made for adults.
The work of teaching lip reading is
being carried on by Mrs. Verna Owen
Randall, who has a school in Kansas
City and who will spend several weeks
in Topeka. While here Mrs. Randall
is making her headquarters at the
