TEACHER NOT A CRIMINAL
Mildred Ward, Who Sent Gun to
Lover in Prison, Is ParoIed.

Leavenwortfr. Kan. Nov. Mil
dred Ward, Fairbury, Neb., school
teacher, was sentenced to not more
than ten years at the Kansas ind
trial farm for women and Immediately
paroled when she pleaded guilty to
the charge of smuggling a revolver
into the Kansas state prison at Ian
sing, in district court here yesterday.
She was required to give bond of
$500 and to promise not to violate the
laws for period of two years.
County Attorney D. w. Hooper rec
commended that Miss Ward be granted
a bench parole, after he had conferred
with Warden NJ. F. Amrine, of the
state prison. and Judge ]. F. Wenior
granted the parole.
Miss Ward was arrested late in Au-
gust, when it was charged that she
had smuggled an automatic pistol,
baked into a cake, to DOC" Ward, an
inmate of the prison. to assist him to
escape. Ward gave the scheme away,
"squealing" to the prison authorities,
supposedly to secure a parole or par
don. The pistol was found and no
prison delivery resulted.
ct don't believe that Miss Ward is
naturally a criminal" said Warden
Amrine. but she was infatuated with
Doc Ward and was completely under
his influence
Miss Ward, who has been confined
in the Leavenworth county Jail, left
immedia tely for her home in Ne
braska after her release.

STILL LACK CARS
Transportation Difficulty Bar to
Good Trade for Mills.
Demand Is Better-Price Re-
mains Same as Week Ago.

Shortage of cars for the delivery of
the flour continues to be the chief
obstacle in the way of Topeka nlfers
enjoying a most satisfactory trade. A
steady increase is reported in the
volume of orders and Inquiries and
many of the mills booked a good bust
ness, but cars for innn1 e6iate shipYn ent
are seldom available, and most of the
mills have been closed down all or
part of the past week for lack of
ortatior~equipnle
Increased interest in flour has been
chiefly dc nestle, tho some foreign in
the required price than was formerly
the case. Canadian flour, however,
continues to sell for less in the United
Kingdom than the southwes
milIers can possibly place the goods
there.
Prices Remain Unchanged.
Prize remained practically the same
during the week. closing Saturday at
about the same level as that of last
Saturday.
Local millers are beginning to look
for a drop in cash wheat in the near
future. The hypothesis is advanced
that certain interests are bolstering
up the wheat market till after cleo
ton. Other millers advance statistics
to show that the production of wheat
of last year, and with European mar
kets practically closed, believe that
the laws of supply and demand will
operate to bring the price of cash
wheat down in the scale.
1t is believed by the latter aggre-
cation that the present shortage of
stocks in the hands of distributors
and of bakers is operating to main
tain a price higher than should be ex-
pected.

DISCUSSES and outlandish costumes

What motive have you established

What effort has been made and

shooting was done?
What effect has been made to re-

morning struck Miss Myrna Kuehnes
16-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Oscar Kuehne, 1871 woodward ave-
nue, speeded up and went on, leaving
her lying unconscious on the street

ward and Munson avenues
The girl was discovered a short time
later by the motorman and conductor
of a, Lowamn Hill street car They
picked her up and carried her into
a nearby house, from whence she was
removed to Christ's hospital She was
said to be resting easy this afternoon
but. -altho no bones were broken, it
is feared she may have sustained in
terna1 injuries.
Miss Kuehne attends high school,
and was on her way to school when
the accident occurred. Her father is
foreman of the Kuehne Brothers
plant in North Topeka.
The girl takes the car at Munson

Offering on Bill Tonight.

The members of the vaudeville
companies at the Novelty theater will
give their own kind of a Halloween
party this evening. Every member
of each act will take part in an extra
ensemble act for the first night show,
presenting their own version of
school Days." the vaudeville offer
ing that made Gus Edwards famous.
This announcement was made this
afternoon by George Clark, veteran
vaudeville manager, who has just
taken charge of the Novelty theater
for Schober and Payne, lesses of both
the Noveyt and Grand. The idea was
proposed by Tony Cortelli one of the
vaudeville actors on the bill the first
half of this week. Tony began life at
the age Of seven pushing a banana
cart about New York streets singing
the virtues of his wares. His voice
was recognized and he was given a
chance to cultivate it. Ever since his
vaudeville career started he has used
just the same amount of pep and
energy in the business and this Hal
loween party is just another evidence
of his interest in his profession.
