Are Stirred by Reports of Al.
 leed Liquor Parties

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 23 F-Stirred by published chages that members of the Kansas legislature had been staging liquor parties here. the house yesterday delivered a rebuke to Rep resentative J. R. Burton. Kansas City. Kas.. for a newspaper inter- view he gave concerning Topeka law enforcement conditions.
 A resolution adopted without . dissenting vote declared the house Hooked with disfavor" on the inter- view in which Burton was quoted as saying he had seen more "drunks" in Topeka in the last two weeks than he had seen in his own county in two years.
 Ut is a reflection upon ourselves and our families to have member say there are card parties at which liquor is served and young girls be- come so intoxicated they have to be carried out of the hotels" said Rep resentative Donald Muir in com- mehting on Burton's interview. we have sworn to uphold the constitu- ton and laws of the state. and this is not doing it.'
 Views Different The resolution adopted disagreed with Burton's views on the law en- forcement conditions and held that such statements as he made public tended to break down enforcement and respect for the law.
 Under his constitutional rights as legislator. Burton ignored a sub poena issued by County Attorney J. c. Logan for his appearance before the grand jury to tell what he knew about liquor violations. Burton said he might present information to the grand jury after the legislature ad- journs.
 Meanwhile the house adopted and sent to the senate bill appropriat- ing a special fund of $40.000, re- quested by Governor M. Reed fol drying up Kansas which was re- ferred to in a recent magazine arti' cle as the beer state"
 Before taking office early in the month, Governor Reed declared il was we'll known that liquor had
 flowed freely at previous sessions ol the legislature and he warned that such situation would not be per mitted at the present session. He blamed corporation lobbyists" fol plying the law makers with drinks.

 StOpped in Kabul

London. Jan. 23 R - Advices reaching here yesterday said fighting had ceased In Kabul. Afghanistan. but there was no indication that Habibulah Khan had made any at- tempt to form a government. It ap- pears as though some tribes are not anxious to give him unqualified sup port. The footing in the capital has been on a small scale but the influx of refugees from the surrounding county has complicated the situation from the viewpoints of food supply and maintenance of order.
 Reports concerning former King Amanullah at Kanda ar are contra dictory. Some say he intends to march on Kabul with the tribesmen he has gathered together while others assert he contemplates fleeing into Turkey.

DASHES PINT OF
ACID over WIFE
Man ConfeSses Assault on
Mate to Priest.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-With his
acid-burned and sightless wife in
critical condition at the Knicker-
booker hospital today, Frank Van
De Kuylen, alleged to have thrown
a pint of acid over her, awaited ar
raignment on a charge of felonlous
assault.
Van De Kuylen was arrested after
police had been summoned by a
priest to whom he confessed.
The defendant went to the home
where his second wife, from whom
he has been estranged for six
months, had a position as nurse
maid. When she answered the door
she told him that she didn't want
to see him, although he had begged
her to come back to him. Then he
drew pint bottle of Sulphuric acid
from his pocket and drenched the
upper part of her body with it.
After being treated for slight
burns received from the acid splash
ing on him, Van De Kuylen decided
that he should go to confession. He
went to the Belgian Roman Catholic
church of ST. Agnes, where he had
married his first wife. When the
priest heard what he wanted to con-
TESS, he called the police.
Mrs. Van Der Kuylen still is alive
in Knickerbocker hospital, but she
is sightless, and burned over her
entire face, neck and shoulders.

Debtors Case Dismissed by
Special Judge at
Fl. Wayne.

BIZ United Press
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 27.-An
act of the 1925 legislature provid-
ing for garnishment of any amount
up to 10 per cent of a debtors wages
or income, was declared unconstitu-
tional by Special Judge John Nor
riS, in Allen superior court.
Judge Morris sustained a defense
motion to quash the affidavit and
dismiss the action in the case of the
First National bank of Fl. Wayne
against Richard Willscher and the
New York, Chicago & st. Louis Rail-
road Company.
The bank previously had obtained
a judgment against Willscher, an
employe of the railroad company,
and brought action to garnishee his
wages.
The Judge quoted Section rs of
the bill of rights, which provides
that "the general assembly shall not
grant to any citizens or class of citi-
zens, privileges or immunities which,
upon the same terms, shall not
equally belong to all citizens" He
then said that in his opinion the
act of 1925 clearly violates the last
quoted section of our Constitution.

Trial at Kokomo.

KOKOMO, Ind, Nov. civil
liam H. Arnold, originally accused
in ten indictments in connection
with failure of the American Trust
Company bank here, will have only
five of them to contend with, when
he faces trial, attorneys announce
after looking over the records of
the case. After successfully resist
ing efforts to return him to Indiana
from Florida for trial. covering
nearly two years, Arnold returned
here and surrendered.
Three Of the indictments now ex-
tinct accused Arnold and his SON.
in-law. Frank S. Owens, who fol-
lowed him as president of the bank,
with conspiracy to commit a felony.
These were dismissed after Owens
had been acquitted on a charge of
bankers embezzlement. AS the in
dictmentS named the two jointly,
dismissal as to one ended the case
for the other.
In another indictment, now in
valid, Arnold was accused with r.
H. Leavitt and Lewis Kirtley of con-
spring to commit a felony. This
was dismissed June 81, 1923.
The fifth Indictment believed at
an end, accused Arnold and his son,
Glenwood, of a felony conspiracy.
It is said the statute of limitations
has run against it.
Still remaining are four charges
of borrowing money from the bank
without consent of the board of
directors, and an indictment for
embezzlement and grand larceny.
However, with the five charges
out of the way, Arnold is likely to
face a strong fight, as during the
trial which resulted in Owens &C
quittal, much blame was thrown on
Arnold in connection with the
banks failure, and evidence which
authorities hold will be damaging
to him was taken and can be used
when he faces the court. No date
for trial has yet been set.
