ANSWER FIVE FIRE ALARMS
Today Was Busy One for Fire Depart
ment of Topeka

The city fire departments were busy
today, five fire alarms being answered
since z o'clock this morning. The
first one was at 1904 Buchanan street
at 1929 o'clock this morning when a
chimney fire caused an alarm. Little
damage was done.
Only slight damage was done to the
home of G. Carlson. occupied by
George Parne1l, 1919 Central avenue,
when an overheated furnace started a
blaze to a calendar. The department
extinguished the blaze.
The residence of c. E. Carpenter,
227 Clay street, was badly damaged by
fire at SOS a. m. when fire started in
the attic. About two-thirds of the
house was destroyed, it was reported.
Slight damage was zone to the resi-
dence of A. Burkholder, 1404 West
Sixth avenue, at 11:25 o'clock today.
A small hole was burned in the roof
and some of the rafters were damaged.
1t is believed the fire started from
sparks from the chimney.
A fire at the residence of A. K. Van
Hook, 127 Clay street, did about $4,000
worth of damage at 1850 O'Clock to-
day. The roof was burned off and 1t
is estimated it will take that amount
of money to fix it up properly. The
fire is believed to have started from
sparks from the chimney.

PLAYMATE may HAVE KILLED
Brooklyn Detectives Probe Death OF
1O-year-OId Girl

New York, Dec. 2S.-Brooklyn's s
keenest detectives, puzzled for solu-
ton of the mysterious shooting of The
resa Mccarthy, 10year-old school
girl. in her home Tuesday, took note
of the slightly upward course of the
% calibre bullet that pierced her
heart, disclosed by the autopsy. ana
today inclined more to the theory that
another child of similar age was re-
sponsibIe for the tragedy.
The deduction was that the bullet s
course would have been downward,
rather than upward had an older ana
taller person fired the shot, and in
this belief the search was continued
for one of Theresa's playmates, fright
ened into silence by the tragic conse-
quences-
The child's mother has been unable
to aid the police in identifying any
person she thinks may have entered
the house to see Theresa while she
was alone during the day Scores OF
mothers and children in the nelghoor-
hood have been questioned in an effort
to trace the owner of the % weapon.

each wanted to sing a different song.
The result was a discord. IglariO

Cruz with a butcher knife. but Cruz

LAUDER BEFORE ROTARIANS
Scotch Comedian To Be Entertained
Here January 10.

Here January 10.
Announcement was made at today
meeting of the Topeka Rotary club
that the annual visit of Sir Harry
Lauder to Topeka, at which time he
will be entertained at luncheon by the
club. will occur this year on January
TO-
The Rotarians will hold their an
nual Lauder luncheon at the Chamber
of Commerce at noon, with the fam
lilies of the Rotarians as their guests
on that occasion. Reservations are
now being made by. the members of
the club for the performance which is
to be given by the famous Scotch Ro-
tartan and comedian at the Grand
theater on the same evening.
The program today was in charge
of George w McClelland, who intro
duced Bishop James Wise as the first
speaker. Bishop Wise announced
that he is contemplating giving a
Rotary show during the winter and
wished to present his cast. Bishop
Wise introduced various members of
the club as members also of the cast
of his theatrical presentation, and
ended with the declaration that he
meant to call it 1.-The Gathering of the
Nuts He appealed to DR.. NJ L
Perry, superintendent of the state
hospital for the insane, to certify that
all the Rotarians he had collected
were ''nutty enough to be eligible for
the cast"
Fred l.. era abDe, superintendent Oh
the Kansas Anti-Saloon league, was
principal speaker on the program.
Grabbe opened his talk with the decla-
ration that prohibition is a dead issue,
and the saloon in the United States as
much an item of past history, as slav-
cry is. The agitation for the return
of beer and light wine is doomed to
failure, and there is as much chance
of the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment as there is of the return
of slavery to the United States, Crabbe
asserted.
He charged that the interests which
are seeking to evade or repeal the
eighteenth amendment are traitors
and should encounter the fate of
traitors.
He told the Rotarians of the eXperi-
ences which he has had in enforcing
the law, and the officers of the law
whom he has discovered to be in col
fusion with the violators of the law.
The attendance at the meeting today
was the largest ever recorded for
Topeka Rotary meeting.
