DEATH ON SHIP
Explosion on Adriatic Kills
Two, Injuries Five.
Reports So Far Show That Pas.
sengers Are Safe.
tB, the Associated Prsss.l

New York, Aug. 1.-Two members
of the Adriatic crew were killed, five
were seriously injured and one Is
missing as the result of an explosion
of undetermined origin in her No. 8
hold, according to a wireless MESA ge
received today at the White Star line.
The message reported that the Ad-
riativ was proceeding to New York
at half speed. Coal was stored in the
No. hold, and officials of the line
in the absence of details, thought that
spontaneous combustion may have
caused the explosion. The men killed
were a fireman and a trimmer. Those
injured included an electrician and
other employees of the engine room.
First Call at 5 O'Clock.
Boston. Aug. 1.-THE steamship
Adriatic of the White Star line called
for assistance about o'clock this
morning in radio messages, to the
Charlestown navy yard. saying that
an explosion in hold No 3 had SO dam
aged the vesseI that it was able only
to proceed slowly. --
The first. message read:
Explosion in hold No. 8, endeavor-
ing to locate trouble. May need as
DAVID, commander
Soon after the naval authorities had
received the first radio call from the
commander of the, Adriatic, a second
arrived as follows:s-'-r
bad explosion. Am proceeding
slowly. Position now, latitude Alas
N; longitude 51.41 W.
The position of the Adriatic as given
in the second message would place
the ship about 1900 miles from New
York, and about 800 miles directly off
Portland, Me. o.
The Adriatic is carrying 800 first
class passengers, $50 second and 200

York on August 5.

partment, which has been in constant
with the Adriatic, on

SHOP WORKER IS MURDERED
Peter Hayart, Ready to Return to Mis-
souri, Pacific, Is Slain at X. c.

souri, Rao111c, Is slain at II. 4.
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 11.-Police
found the body of Peter. Havart, so
years old. believed to be a striking
Missouri Pacific shop man, on a bluff
near the east bottoms here today. He
had been beaten, then choked to death
with two belt straps fastened together
after which the slayers attempted to
make death appear a suicide.
The body had been dragged ten feet
to the side of the bluff. There one
end of the strap was looped over a de-
cayed tree limb. The body lay on the
ground, the limb being unequal to
holding the mans weight.
Police Lieutenant c. H. Vassar, in
charge of the police strike-riot squad,
said:
"Havart was about to return to
work in the Missouri Pacific shops"
Vassar said. He was dressed in over
alls and jumper. He carried a lunch
in his pocket. Letters found on him
indicate he had entered into negotia-

A revolver. found nearby, shows an
attempt had been made to shoot

oner, said. Two bullets showed they
had been struck by the hammer, but
failed to explode. The man had been
dead many days. A newspaper found
nearby was dated August T.

MORE SHOWERS TONIGHT
Clear and Cooler Weather Promised
for Saturday.
TODAY's TEMPERATURES.

A continuation of the light scat
tered showers tonight is the only pros
pect of unsettled weather in Topeka in
the next twenty-four hours, says Me-
teorologist Flora. Scattered showers
fell in Topeka today but were so light
that they failed to bring more than .0l
of an inch of moisture.
Saturday will be mostly clear and
sunshiny with more cool weather, says
the weather man. TopekanS are now
enjoying genuine Kansas weather.
Flora believes that Kansans who are
patrOnizing the summer resorts are
not getting their moneys worth as
cool, pleasant weather is general over
all the country east of the Rocky
Warmer nights are due
for Topekans.
The temperature will drop to about
72 degrees tonight and will rise TO
about S5 degrees Saturday.
Topeka received rain of .03 of an

U. S. CHOP SUEY BEST
China Loses Out on Its Once
Famous Dish, Says American
Returning From Peking.

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-There is
no chop suey in China, according to
Walter c. Whiffen. Associated Press
bureau chief at Peking. an American
whose official business has taken him
to many hooks and corners of that
country during the past few years and
who has prosecuted an unofficial
and fruitless search for the dish in
what was supposed to be its native
land.
What's more, and worse. from the
standpoint of those in the United
States who are devotees of the con-
coction, that bulks so large on the
culinary map of Bohemia, there has
never been any chop suey in China,
at least not that it could be noticed,
says Mr.. Whiffen.
To carry the sad story still farther,
he says he has tried chop suey as
served in America and thinks so much
of it that he is seriously considering
introducing it to official circles of the
Chinese capital when he returns to his
post there next month.

MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

The prevalence of motor car traffic
on improved roads has menaced
slower vehicle travel.
This produces no alibi for the
wagons and buggies. Motor cars
have them outnumbered and the ma
jority must prevail.
On hard surfaced roads persons rid
ing in horse drawn vehicles are in
constant danger. after dark. unless
they carry a light. And not one car
riage in ten carries a light on the
roads out of Topeka.
When two motor cars meet the
drivers are blinded temporarily by
the headlights. If they are travelling
at a speed of twenty-five or thirty
miles an hour and emerge from the
lights of a passing'car it IS almost i'm
possible to detect a vehicle just ahead
unless a tail light is visible.
For the safety of themselves and
families. persons riding in horse
drawn vehicles should hang lanterns
on their buggies. Certainly they
should not throw too much blame on
the motorist il an accident occurs.
Motorists are trained to watch for tail
lights and lighted obstacles in the
road. There are times when they
cannot avoid hitting a slowly moving
buggy.
When the ordinance requiring
ground glass lenses goes into effect
fully the range of vision will be short
ened.
Men and boys riding bicycles on
and country roads also should
make some effort either to keep on
the outside edge of the street or road
or carry tail light. Pedestrians on
roads out of Topeka also are careless
in their walking.
In most states laws requiring lights
are enforced rigidly. In Kansas there
seems to hang over the old fashioned
opinion that any one has a right to
the road and lights are not used gen.
orally. Now that motor cars outnum-
Der horse drawn conveyances at least
twenty-five to one on the roads the
tide has turned. The motor car now
has the accepted rights.
A smash between a motor car and
a buggy or a motor car and a bicycle
does little or no damage to the car.
But it will ruin the buggy or bicycle
and will cause death or injury. There
fore the bicycle riders and the horse
drivers should protect themselves.

EMBARGO GOES ON
New Strike flinders Shipments
Over the Santa Fe.
Feeling Prevails That Other
Outbreaks May Occur.

The Santa Fe, late this afternoon,
announced an embargo on livestock
and other perishable freight, and the
acceptance of other shipments subject
to delay. to points west of Seligman,
Ariz, due to the partial walkout of
members of the ''big four on it's lines
in that territory.
Earlier in the day, J. NJ. Conneli.
general passenger agent, announced
agents that tickets to points beyond or
west of Albuquerque. N. NJ, must be
sold subject to delay account of Ia
Dor trouble"
Otherwise, both Mr.. connelI and w
K. Etter, acting general manager of
the eastern lines, say tnat conditions
are normal in this territory. So far
all passenger trains are maintaining
their usual schedules but it is prob
able that some of them will be late to-
morrow when those from the strike
district will be due.
Santa Fe Is Concerned.
There is considerable apprehension
around the general offices here over
the feeling that the disturbance in the
west is a deliberate attempt upon the
part of the striking element to Grip
pie the Santa Fe, and further out
breaks would create little or no sur
prise to those in touch with the situ-
alton.
Ut several MSGhS II IDS DNtll o1-
mitted that so far as the Santa Fe was
concerned. the shop strike was prac-
tically broken. Local labor leaders
have admitted that the santa Fe was
not only handling all Of It's own bust
ness but claimed it was also hauling
freight for some of it's sister roads.
Probably no other western road has
met the strike so successfully as the
Santa Fe.
Needles a Radical "HOt Bed"
If the striking shop men have set
out to break up this situation on the
Santa Fe by enlisting the support of
members of the big four" it is ad
mitted by company officials that they
have started at the proper place, as
Needles is noted for its radical ten
denotes. Once successful there, how
ever, Santa Fe officials see the posi-
bilities of an attempt to cause similar
trouble at other points, altho to date
there has been no disturbance of any
kind on the Eastern lines.
Whatever part the Santa Fe is TAX
ing in the. New York conference, to-
day. at which President Harding's
second proposal to end the strike is
being considered, is being handled
solely by the Chicago office. officials
here say. AS a result no statement as
to the company's attitude toward re-
lection or acceptance of the plan is
forthcoming. 1t has been pointed out,
however. that the Santa Fe could join
with other western roads and vote for
acceptance in the belief that the labor
board will adjust the seniority ques-
ton favorably to the roads.

WILL RESTORE TRAIN SERVICE
Frisco to Reinstate Trains Which
Were Taken Off.

President Kurn of the Frisco rail-
road today notified the public utilities
commission that trains withdrawn
from service would be reinstated. The
Frisco officials will come to Topeka
Saturday or Monday for formal
hearing on their application to re-
move several trains now in operation
Six trains were removed from serv-
ice Thursday by the Frisco. Follow
ing this action application was made
to the supreme court for a writ OF
mandamus to compel the road to
maintain normal service except where
cancellation of service was approved
by the commission.
Trains which have been withdrawn
will be reinstated. The Frisco will
then present its claims to the state
commission. 1t is claimed that tenn
porary suspension of certain service
is made necessary by virtue of the fuel
shortage.

TROOPS MAY GO TO HORTON
Rock Island Officials Plan on Open
ing Shops Soon.

Several troops of national guards
may go to Horton instead of to Fort
Riley for the annual encampment.
Rock Island officials intend to reopen
the Horton shops in a few days, and
troops will be sent to the town if local
officials do not provide proper pro-
lection for the workers.
Members of the industrial court
held a conference with officials of
Horton and Brown county regarding
the strike situation. The officers
promised to make an earnest effort to
protect the workers. If their efforts
fail to produce results the state will
send troops to the town.

DISCOUNT RATES REDUCED
Action by Federal Reserve Banks VIII
Benefit Kansas Farmers.

Kansas City. Mo, Aug. 11.-Action
that is expected to materially assist
farmers of the middle west in a finan-
cia1 way was taken this afternoon by
the board of directors of the Tenth
federal reserve district, which an
nounced a reduction in discount rates
of from 5 to II per cent.
This is the lowest rate in several
years. Eleven hundred and fifty-two
hanks in Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa, Ok
lahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Col
orado are affected.
The cut in the discount rate would
enable farmers to more easily Equi-
date their loans, it was said.
Kansas farmer organiza tions, the
state board of agriculture and many
prominent land owners have been
making a strenuous campaign for
greater farmer aid thru reduction i'll
federal reserve discount rates. The
rate announced thru the Tenth re-
serve district board is the lowest since
pre-war conditions. Banks in this
state which have been interested in
the discount rate thru membership in
the reserve bank. will be greatly ben
