SAFEGUARD OF REPUBLIC

TT IS a popular impression that irreverence

Chief Executive in the annals Of the Republic

FIRE IN W. M. CROSBY STORE
Awning Blaze Thought to Have Been
Caused From Cigarct.

Six still arlarms were answered
Tuesday afternoon and night, by the
various companies of the Topeka fire
department. Three of the alarms Oc-
CURED as the result of dump fires
on jefferson and Tyler street. A blaz
of unknown origin occurred in the
kitchen of the National hotel, without
doing damage. A short circuit in an
automobile at the corner of Seward
and Scotland avenues inspired another
alarm, with no damage.
Shortly after midnight an awing in
front of the Warren NJ. Crosby de-
partment store on Kansas avenue.
caught fire as a result of cigaret
being thrown upon it, according to
the theory of the firemen.
The show window was filled with
art needlework women's clothing and
neckwear One of the sprinkler heads
in the window was sprung, and the
merchandise which was not smoked
was ruined by water A large hole
was broken in the corner-of the plate
glass window, which will have to be
replaced.

Los Angeles, Aug. 9-WilIiam S.
Hart, known to movie sfans as Big
Bill" hero of many wild west"
screen pictures, and his wife, formerly
Miss Winifred Westover, have sepa-
rated and divorce proceedings are in
contemplation on the part of the wife,
it became known today.
The separation, it was learned, took
place about three months ago when
Mrs. Hart left the Hart home in Hol-
lywood and move to Santa Monica,
where she is living with her mother,
Mrs. Clyde Westover, while awaiting
the coming of a child that is expected
in November.
The famous film star, it was au-
thoritatively stated, has submitted to
his wife and her attorney a property
settlem ent which is now under consid-
Grafton by them The settlement, it
was declared, makes provision not
only for Mrs. Hart, bur for their un-
born child.

Four TOpekans Apply for Char

G.. L. Hooper Will Be President
of $4,000 Concern Here.

/. Four Topeka men are stockholders
in THE National Theaters, Inc" a
corporation which applied today to
the state charter board for charter
in Kansas.
Garfield L. Hooper, of Topeka, who
recently purchased the sole interest
here, is the holder of a predominating
share in the stock of the corporation.
which is valued at $4,000. and will
be it's president.
The other members of the corpor-
alton are: Walter Wilson, formerly
Estate banking commissioner; Walter
Payne, formerly state treasurer; Dale
Burdick, formerly with the Woods
Motor company, and ]. Levy, of Kan
sas City.
Under the control of the new cor
poration are the leaseholds and equip
ment of the Isis and Orpheum thea
ters in Topeka, and the Grand theater
in Salina.
To Extend Theater Business.
1t is the purpose of the organiza- =
ton to extend their interests and to
secure leaseholds and theaters in other
towns of this territory. Levy and
Burdick will be active in the man
agement of the affairs of corporation,
along with Hooper. Hooper states to-
day that he had in mind several other
theaters in the state, but announce
ment as to their requirement would
be premature at this time.
Hooper last week purchased the in
terests of ]. E. Putter, of Tulsa. Okla.
and Joe Goldman, of st. Joseph Mo,
in the Orpheum and Isis at Topeka,
and became their sole owner.

CAN'T GURTAIL TRAIN SERVICE
Kansas p. Z. c. VIII Not Permit
Frisco To Cancel Trains.


The Kansas public utilities commits
sion today refused to permit the
Frisco railroad to curtail passenger
train service in Kansas on general
plea that conservation of fuel and
equipment were needed to insure
movement of perishable commodities.
Trains may be cancelled, the commits
sion stated, only on a showing of ne
cessity in each individual case. The
commission promised to give prompt
hearings on applications but refused
to permit withdrawal of any trains.
j. NJ. Kurn of St. Louis. president of
the Frisco, wired Governor Allen ask
ing that permission to curtail Kan
sas train service be granted. Kurn
emphasized the fact that trains were
being taken out of service only to in
sure movement of essential comm odi-
ties and that curtailment is only tenn
porary. Discontinuance of trains, he
said, was made necessary thru short
age of coal
In a wire sent to Chairman Reed
of the public utilities commission, it
was stated. that prompt hearing
would be given on each application
for permission to take trains out of
service. No authority will be granted.
tho. until a showing is made In fact
Reeds wire stated the Kansas statutes
would be invoked to maintain present
service. He asked that assurances be
given that no trains were being taken
off Kansas lines without commission
approval

was said, Mrs. Hart may bring an ac-
ton against Hart's sister. Mary, for
alienation of the affections of Big
Bill.' Mary Hart is in New York at
present, on business, the nature of
which is not disclosed.
In case, as is indicated, divorce pro-
ceedings are brought by Mrs. Hart,
extreme cruelty will be charged, ac-
cording to information obtained to-
day.

has been acting as an intermediary,
and while in Los Angeles recently at
tempted it was said, to bring about a
reconciliation. Failing that, he
turned his efforts to trying to effect
an samicable agreement OF separation
and is still working along that line,
with the result in doubt.

MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

Topeka has been shocked many
times this summer due to accidents on
the streets causing the death or per-
manent injury to children
Each accident has brought up the
question of the rights of children on
the streets-and the rights of motor
lists.
Motorists should realize fully that
children do have right in the streets
not by law or traffic but the right
Of unrestrained youth. Parents may
be negligent but there are times when
it is impossible to watch the young
sters every minute and freedom
breeds carelessness-
At any rate the children will run to
the streets and the burden is placed
on the shoulders of the man behind
the wheel.
The speed limit on residence streets
is eighteen miles an hour. If the mo-
torist has his car within this speed at
ALI times he need have little fear of
running over children At eighteen
miles an hour a motor car can be
brought to almost an immediate stop.
At least it can be swerved into a curb
ing without damage.
There are times when children run
out from behind ice cream wagons, ice
wagons or piles of building materials
in the streets. When u motorist is
passing a hazard of this kind he
should slow down until he sees that
all is safe. In the case OF ice wagons,
drivers have been instructed to pro-
tect children and they have been oh
served in this kindly and fatherly act
many times on the residence streets Of
the city.
There is no absolute solution to the
children problem. Parents must CO.
operate with motorists in exertins
care and watchfulness. Under any
circumstances the motorist assumes
the most responsibility.
If there is to be any speeding done
on Topeka's streets let it rest with
the fire department, the ambulances
and the police. The owner of private
motor cars and the truck drivers have
no rights

DEPUTIES TO co
Ex-SerVice Men Called to Duty
in OSawatomie.
Will Remain Until Railroad
Shop Strike Is Settled.

Capt. wint Smith was today or
dered by Governor Allen to enlist
twenty select ex-service men for
deputy sheriff duty at Osawa tonne.
The action followed a conference at
the state house Tuesday night when
the governor was visited by delega-
ton representing the Osawatomie
Chamber of Commerce and the
strikers. No national guard units will
be sent to Osawatomie at this time.
The Osawatomie Chamber of Com
merce wanted the governor to act as
buffer in handling a problem involv-
ing the merchants They asked for
troops on the theory that they would
prohibit discrimination in sale OF
sale of commodities. The merchants
wanted to show their loyalty to the
strikers but didn't want to turn away
good cash business from the men who
work. So the guard matter sounded
like a first class alibi.
Change Mind About Troops.
After Governor Allen explained that
the guardsmen would take charge of
the affairs of the town, there was a
sudden change in the desire for
troops. The strikers who wanted GER
tain districts patrolled and others un-
disturbed, also lost their enthusiasm.
Some bad reports have come out of
Osawatomie lately. So Governor AL
len decided to help relieve conditions
DN SenulnS d corps OIL Special deputy
sheriffs to the town. The men Sc
lected have seen overseas service and
are chosen from towns not affected by
the strike situation. They will be as
signed for service in Osawatomie un-
til the strike is settled.
The governor sent a special COM
mission to Ellis today to investigate
reports of trouble at that point. Con-
ditions in Pratt, Ottawa and Argen-
tine have improved, Governor Allen
stated.

ON ONE LETTER 800 STAMPS
In 1914 John Schmidt, of Topeka,
Would Have Received a $4,000
Piece of MaiI-OnIy 10 Cents
Now.

Eight years ago it cost 10 cents to
send letter from Russia to Topeka
Today, in the same coin, it costs
$4,000.
John Schmidt, 541 Scotland ave-
snue, car carpenter in the Santa Fe
shops, knows He has been receiving
letters from Russia for the last thirty
years. Today, pasted on an envelope
from his brother in Russia. were 500
stamps-just think of it. 500! Each
stamp was for ESQ rubles or at one
time about s125. In other words there
were stamps amounting to the 1919
price of $40, 900 on this one envelope.
The stamps covered the back of the
envelope and hung in long strips.
There were sixteen sheets of so stamps
each. 1t was one of the most unusual
letters ever delivered thru the Topeka
postoffice. The letter and sheets of
sta mps came thru without a tear.
There are no souvenir hunters in
United States postoffices.
When Mr.. Schmidt answers this
letter he will put 5 cents worth of
United States stamps on one little cor
ner of the envelope and it will go sail
ing back TO Russia with just as much
service, just as much concern. just
as much honor and respect as the let
ter today with it's 500 stickers.
Mr. Schmidt has been in this coun-
try 80 years He hears much from
Russia. He has been sending his rela-
tives money for food-that is all they
need at this time. one American SO
bill will buy 120 pounds of all kinds
of necessary foods in Russia. 1t would
take 120 pounds of Russian money to
buy $40 worth of food in the United
States
Mr. Schmidt will preserve his en-
velope to hand down to future genera
tons.
