PUSH HOTEL WORK
Seventy Men and Night Shifts
on 100000 "Kansan."
Heaters Arrive for Protection
During Cold Weather.

With working force of seventy
men on the job. night shifts are now
being used on the new 100000 Hotel
Kansan at Kansas avenue and Ninth
street. The first night shift went on
the job Wednesday night. 1t is the
plan of Jack Struthers, superinten-
dent of construction, to continue the
use of night forces and to increase the
number of workmen as soon as reserve
building supplies are increased.
The night forces are now being used
in building forms and preparing for
pouring of the last of the concrete in
first floor construction. It is probable
that all of the concrete on the first
floor will be poured before the end of
the week.
A force of carpenters today began
building forms for the main floor of
the hostelry- 1t is probable that a
in position before the end of the week.
Owing to the fact that numerous
shops, dining rooms and the hotel
lobby are located on the street floor
OF the building, construction work on
that floor will require more than the
average time.
Sufficient steel is on hand to com
p1ete work on the basement and
ground floors. additional shipments
are expected before forms are in po-
sition for the main floor.
Twenty-Five salamanders and sixty
large tarpaulins have been received
by the construction company. They
VIII be used in providing heat for the
forms and enclosing the general struc-
ture to insure continuation of opera
ton during cold weather.

MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

. The city should. by all means, rule
against heavy truck traffic on West
Eighth avenue following the resurfac-
ing of the streets paving.
This action will, in a measure, give
Topeka an east and west boulevard
and will furnish a traffic way to the
western part of the city. A boule-
ward controlled street to the west is
needed badly. Seventeenth is without
an entrance. Huntoon is tracked and
street CARED to discomfort. Sixth is
rough. Third is too far north. A
boulevard on West Eighth is the So
luton of the problem.
The city also should complete the
resurfacing of West Eleventh to Fill
more. This would relieve in a most
noticeable manner the motor car traf-
fic from Seventeenth, Huntoon, Eighth
and Sixth.
The real problem in motor car traf-
fic in Topeka today is the proper care
of the vehicles from Kansas avenue
west. The traffic ruling of West
Eighth and the resurfacing of West
Eleventh VIII solve the problem.

(By the Associated PressO

Constantinop1e, Nov 23.-American
and British interests are taking steps
to remove their property and person

pose of establishing peace in the near

The largest and oldest British busi-
ness house in Turkey began today to
transfer it's entire stocks, valued at
$1,5OO,00O, from the main street of the
city to the docks. American and Brit

from votes in 101 of the los counties
of the state. On estimates covering

for the compensation measure will

COURT LAW IS UP WAS IT MURDER? ?
Two Important Questions viii
Be Decided in X. C..
Pieketing Feature of Industrial
Act Under Discussion.

Kansas City, Kan. Nov. 23.-Two
important questions relative to en-
forcement of the Kansas Industrial
court law are to be determined in
district court here under the declara-
tory Judgment act. They are:
Is peaceful picketing' a violation
of law in Kansas?
Has the industrial court jurisdic-
ton in railway strikes?
The case originated with the arrest
of five strikers during the recent rail-
road shop strike. Judge F. D. Hutch
ins of the district court recently an
nounced that he will hear the argu-
ments in the case some time this
month or during the first two weeks
of the December term of court.
Roy r. Hubbard, representing the
attorney generals department, and j.
II. Brady, attorney for the five strik-
ers, have agreed to try the case under
the declaratory judgment act. Under
this procedure an agreed statement OIL
facts is submitted to the court and
argued. the only issue to be settled
being the question of law.
The industrial court has held that II
has jurisdiction in railway strikes.
The strikers contend that the law is
not operative in railway strikes be-
cause of the Interstate character of
railroads.
The Industrial court has ruled that
it does not recognize such a thing as
peaceful picketing'' in time of n
strike, and that all picketi is vio-
Iation of the industrial court act. The
strikers contend that peaceful picket-

Doctors Believe Poisoning of
Ohio Family Intentional.
Mother Acted Strangely Before
Tragedy Says Physician.
fBy the Associated Pregs.l

Lancaster, Ohio, Nov 23.-while
partial solution of the mystery sur
rounding the snuffing out of the lives
of the entire family of Irwin Hender-
son-father, mother and four small
children-was expected to come thru
examination of the vital organs of the
two adults at Columbus today, Off
cials here were basing their investiga-
ton of the tragedy on the supposition
that the family died from the effects
of poison intentionally administered.
81 Dr. r. w. Mondhank, who attended
them several days previous to their
deaths and yesterday performed an
autopsy expressed the opinion that all
had died from the effects of a quick
acting poison. The possibility that
responsibility for the deaths rested
within the family was foremost in the
minds of investigators today.
According to Doctor Mondhank,
Mrs Henderson had been in i'll health
for some time. and frequently had
conducted herself strangely in his
presence, especially during illness of
several members of the family which
preceded their deaths and which, it
was thought, might have been caused
by taking poison either in quantities
too large or too small to have fatal ef-
feet.

AROUSES A STORM
CIemenceau's Speech Is Dis
eussed by Z. s. Senators.
Tiger May Not Be Allowed to
Speak in Senate.

Washington, Nov 23.-The bold ac-
cusation by Georges Clemenceau in
the second speech of his American
tour that america left France in the
lurch" after the armistice aroused a
renewed storm of resentment today in
senatorial critics.
Senators without regard to party,
expressed the opinion either publicly
or privately that it is poor taste" to
say the least for the militant old
Tiger to come to this country as its
guest and then before the glamour of
his welcome has worn off, accuse
America of bad faith toward Europe
1t appeared probable today that
Clemenceau's remarks have let him
in for a verbal dressing down on the
of Senator Borah. Republican, of
Idaho, and other members of the old
irreconcilable group in the senate, IS
keen and the Tigers second speech
added fuel to the fire.
''Insolent' and ''impudent' were
some of the terms applied to Clemen-
ceau's remarks by senators of the old
irreconcilable group.
May Not Extend Courtesy.
1t is virtually certain that Clemen-
ceau will not be accorded the courtesy
of the senate floor when he reaches
Washington on his tour. Foreign
visitors of ClemenceaUs distinction
are usually invited to address the SEN
ate when they come TO the capital
both Joffre and Viviani did-but sena-
torial resentment has been so aroused
by the only two speeches he has made
on American soil that objection will
be made to the extension of this cour-
tesy to the Tiger
The extent of the senate's disap-
provaI of Clemenceau's course may be
Judged from the facts that friends
and foes of the League of Nations
alike Joined in condemning his utter
ances.
leaving France 'in the lurch" was at
tributed by senators today not to
Americas failure to join the League
of Nations. but to the senate's failure
to ratify the tri-partite treaty which
pledged America and Great Britain to
defend Frances frontiers in the fu-
ture.

he prepared to leave for Boston where
Friday he is to deliver the second set
address OF his American Itinerary He
felt. that his purpose in coming to
Am erica-the winning of America to
closer relationship with France al
ready was being accomplished.
He felt encouraged at the reception
accorded him in his New York ad-
dresses, in one of which he had de-
cIared bluntly that America had left
France in the lurch after the war.

Need More Money to Live.
1'It is becoming continually more
difficult for the railway employees to
maintain what has been recognized
as a comfortable standard of living, ="
Mr.. Fitzgerald declared.
Fitzgerald based the claim on the
fact that there has been material
reduction in the purchasing power of
the railway wages during the past four
years and that "a considerable in
crease" must be made to restore the
former living standard of the en-
ployes.

Two Decisions Rendered.
Brotherhood officials pointed out
that the labor board since its 1920
ruling has rendered two other deci-
sions which effected material reduc-
tons in the mems pay.
The present application is the third
made to the labor board since the end
of the shopmen's strike. The mainte-
