MAY ADVANCE CORNlNE CASE
Sheriff Teeters Custer Said To Be
Similar to Mayors Trial

Technical support of the states con-
tention in the custer suit against
Mayor Herbert J. Corwine of Topeka
is found by the attorney generals of
fIce in the order of the supreme court
ousting Sheriff C. r. Teeters OF Shrr-

the supreme court held that the law

the county attorney has not been re-
pealed.
The Shawnee county district court
found for Mayor Corwine on every is
sue in recent custer proceedings filed
by the attorney generals department
The state appealed to the supreme
court. Following the writ in the
Teeters -sase announcement has been
made that the state will ask the su-
preme court to advance the Corwine
appeal for early hearing.
Mayor Corwine admitted he had not
reported liquor cases to the county at
torney. He said he had been advised
by the city attorney that such a
course was not necessary and that
subsequent acts of the legislature had
by inference, at least, repealed the Old
statute. The district court upheld the
position of the mayor and found for
him on that issue as well as other
questions involved. One of tn >
charges against Sheriff Teeters was to
the effect that he had not reported
liquor investigations to the county at
torney of Sherman county

Theodore Osweiler. Jr., must re-

another trial on the charge of

today refused to grant a writ of

Several months ago Osweiler was
found guilty of murder and sentenced

BRITISH CRISIS NEAR HEAD
Stand of Carlton Club Towards Pre-
mier Regarded Important.
(Rv Tho Associated Pressl
Associated Press.l

London, Oct. 1.-THE meeting OF
unionists called for Thursday at the
Carlton club will be of great impor-
tance, as it is almost certain to bring
the political crisis to a head. Until
it's decision, whether to break up the
coalition or stand by Prime Minister
Lloyd George is known, the situation
is not expected to devolp materially
in any one direction.
While it is agreed everywhere the
meeting will lead to events of utmost
consequence. opinions are much di-
vided as to exactly what will happen on
Thursday. 1t is admitted as just con-
ceivable that a temporary truce may
be patched up, but nobody places
much faith in this outcome.
The alternative views are, first, that
Mr.. Chamberlains defense of the
coalition and his adhesion thereto,
backed as it will be by Lord Birken-
head and Sir Robert Horne and per-
haps other minister, will bring him a
vote of confidence by large majority
A second view is that the meeting
will declare against adherence to the
coalition, which would be equivalent
to vote of no confidence in Mr..
Chamberlain as unionist leader in the
commons.

CAR SHORTAGE RELIEVED
/ Eastern Railroads Are Sending
Freight Cars to Kansas.

Members of the Kansas public utili-
ties commission are beginning to see
relief from the present freight car
shortage. For the first time in sew
eral months members of the commits
sion state that eastern railroads are
beginning to send cars to western
lines.
Chairman NJ. J. Gormley of the car
service division of the American Rail-
way association has notified the Kan
sas commission that a considerable
movement of cars to western roads is
under way. The action is declared to
give western lines a balance in their
favor for the first time in number
of months.
Recently Kansas bankers COM
planned that serious financial trouble
would be encountered unless relief
should be given in the movement or
grain to market centers. Much of the
paper now carried in smaller town
western banks by wheat growers
would be cleaned up or loans reduced
if grain shipments were possible, ac-
cording to reports. The Gormley
statement is declared to indicate early
relief from the present situation.

stoned by the evacuation of the Greek
army.
The movement of such a large num-
ber of French troops into the capital
of Thrace is interpreted here as sig
nifying the allied command regard the
disturbed state of things as grave.
The dispatch of these troops, tho it
is outside the terms of Mudania con-
vention, was taken as a precaution in
the much agitated situation. The Mu-
DANA convention provided that al
lied missions take over the territory
after the evacuation of the Greek
army. The movement of French
troops to Adrianople may result in a
protest from the Greeks.
Serious, Say British.
Serious conditions exist in Thrace,
which the Mudania armistice agree
ment provided should be evacuated by
the Greeks within fifteen days, it is
revealed by a British official state
ment issued today.

Refugees Are Leaving.
(By the Associated Press.)
Adrianople, Oct. 17.-Thirty thou
sand Greeks and Armenians have
passed from this city to the west since
Saturday and the road between here
and the Martha river is an unbroken
line of men, women and children with
OK carts, cattle and camels.
Thru steady downpour of rain they
are ploddng doggedly toward their
unknown destinations, driven forward
by the nameless fear which has
gripped the whole populace of eastern
Thrace since. the governments bulle-
tins were posted on Saturday, an
nouncing the terms of the Mudania
armistice, which provides for occupa-
ton of the province by the Turks,
within As days.
The members of the allied missions
stationed here declare the extent of
the refugee exodus indicates that the
Turks, upon their entry will find east
ern Thrace almost uninhabited.
Rain Adds to Misery.
The procession has been orderly but
the misery of the refugees is already
extreme and pneumonia will claim
many victims if the present inclement
weather continues.
When on Saturday. the Greek civil
authorities attempted to reassure the
people by stating that the Turkish
gendarmerie would not arrive for fif-
teen days, the Christian Inhabitants
simply refused to believe them. Nearly
every Christian family in Adrianople
gathered up all they could carry.
either on their backs or on OK carts.
and as soon as possible were off.
Roads Jammcd With Humanity.
Meanwhile from the countryside a
similar exodus is under way and every
road LEADING to the Martha is jammed
with humanity. cattle and wagons.
This whole flood converges upon a
single road as 1t approaches the Kara
Catch bridge across the Martha.
The refugees believe that il they
can reach Kara Catch they will be safe
from the Turks. This small village,
which is just across the boundary. will
be in neutral territory until the peace
conference decides immediate fate.
