Points to Violence.
Continuing, Judge Wilkerson said:
against acts of violence set out in the
injunctions of June 27, 1922, there be-
gan, thru the country a series of
depredadons WHICH rapidly developed
in some portions into veritable reign
of terror. Railroad bridges were dyna-
mited. spikes were removed from rails.
distractions were placed upon rail-
road tracks. bombs Were exploded on
tracks and in railroad yards and
hurled at moving trains. Notwith-
standing the admonitiOnS of the lead
ers of this combination to use a peace
full means only, the real situation at
most of the places where the strike
was in progress was that employees
were insu1ted, assaulted and otherwise
intimidated.
THE word of the peaceful picket
spoken in the vicinity of the shop was
by the club and pistol of the unknown
party Regardless Of the instruc-
tions that no injury must be inflicted
upon property, there was sabotage on
a large scale and in point of time and
place so connected with the admitted
conduct of the strike that it is impos-
sible on the record to view them in
any other light than as done in fur
therance of a common purpose and as
part of a. common plan.
During the hearing the defendants
have neither offered nor suggested a
scintilla or proof tending to establish
their pleas in their motion to dismiss
the governments bill 1t follows.
therefore, that the motion to dismiss
the bill must be denied"

MUCH WORK TO DO
! Boy Scout Organization in
Every Civilized Country.
Topeka Scouts Furnish Aid to
Many French Boys.

When the name Boy Scouts is men
toned in Topeka the average person
thinks of youths dressed in uniforms
performing civic duty such as direct
ing convention visitors. giving infor-

hiking In the rural districts OF Shaw
nee county. 1t is more than that. 1t
is more than a state and national or
ganization for its work extends into
an international scope. 1t has local
branches in practically every civilized
country IN the world.
The influence OF the Topeka scout
organization is felt outside of the
United States. The local troops sup
ported four French boy scouts in re-
habtlitation camps this summer. The
boys are said to be mentally bright
and alert but physically frail and I'M
derfed and some were injured in the
World war. They are regarded as the
Cornerstone for the foundation Of fu-
tue France.
French Excel In Artistic Work.

work, producing floral designs for

tents as wen as various interior dec

play periods to arrange creations OF

work of the different branches of
scouting, particularly in pioneering,
tower building. ridge building, camp

over the results obtained from them.

fapsed This Morning.
Sometime between o'clock and 8
o'clock this morning a section of brick
wall, two feet high and some twenty
feet long, over the fronts of the Vogel
Shoe Repair Shop and the E. W. Sal
ley Barber Shop at 9171z and 917
Kansas avenue, collapsed onto the
sidewalk in front of the building,
which is owned by Amos Rabe.
The falling brick struck and carried
to the sidewalk with it a large sign,
hanging at right angles over the side
walk in front of the shoe repair shop.
The sign was not anchored to the sec
ton of wall which fell, but to the
frame of the building beneath the

the front.
The section of wall which fell this
morning has been bulged and cracked
for more than a year, Walter Vogel

No one was injured when the wall

VISIONS REPORT.

Chicago Sept. 23.-war news eelipsed ev-
erything else in the wheat market this week
and prices went skyward. This morning,
compared with a week ago, wheat was up
5ac to 7ssc bushel, with corn showing a
gain of lie to 2Ac and oats 11s@IAc to
A@2Ac.
The net difference I'm provisions varied
from &c decline to a rise of 32c.
A1tho peace moves and absence of word
as to actual fighting led to subsequent
rapid fluctuations in the wheat market,
tension among traders grew more acute as
the week drew to an end, especially after
news came that the Turks had stolen a
march on the British and had apparently
gained control of the entrance Of the Darda-
nelles. Immense receipts of wheat at Win
nipeg, as well as other factors that have
been regarded of great Importance failed
to check the rise ii prices, the action of
the market proving a good deal similar to
wheat witnessed just previous to the
world war.
Corn and oats owed their gains nearly
altogether to the soaring of wheat Some
European buying, tho, of corn and oats was
noted
Demand for provisions was more active
than had been the rule of late. lard especial
