Topeka, Kan.,, April 16.—Does the preaching of a sermon on the Sabbath for pay, the singing in a church for compensation and the playing of the church organ for money on the Lord’s day constitute a breaking of Topeka’s Sunday anti-labor law? Mayor Billard says these things are Just as much an Infringement of the ordinance as the working of actors and stage hands, who are now prohib- ited from following their vocations Sunday. Mayor Billard also calls attention to the operation of the street cars on the Sabbath and to open drug stores, cigar stores, peanut stands and soda fountains. The plain inference is that he expects to make Topeka the “tight- est” blue law town in Christendom unless the people repeal the present Sunday anti-labor law. Mayor Billard does not believe in the closing of the- aters Sunday. Double Vote Offer Closes 10:30 p. m. Saturday April 234, March 16, 1 Mrs. A. Foster, 47502 | Nina Hazen, 45718 Hilda M.

REPLIES TO CRITICISHS Witness Contradicts Evidence Given by Director Newell and Chief Engi- neer Davis of the Reclamation Serv- ice Regarding “Garfield Currency.” Says Ballinger Acted in Good Faith “in Matter of Cunningham Claims. ‘Washington, April 18 —Edward C. Finney, assistant to the secretary of the interior, continued his testimony before the Ballinger-Pinchot investi- gating committee. He was questioned further about official acts of Mr. Bal- linger and insisted that the secretary had acted in good faith in turning over the Cunningham claims to As- sistant Secretary Pierce. There was a full attendance of the committee, as an important question was to be decided. Attorney Brandeis had requested that he be allowed to defer cross-examination of Mr. Pierce and other subordinates of Mr. Ballin- ger until after he had an opportunity to examine the secretary himself. The committee appeared to be divided on the question, so action on it was post- Doned. Attorney Vertrees examined Mr. Finney as to various matters which had been discussed by witnesses for the prosecution. It has been claimed that Secretary Ballinger modified a contract with power companies using water from Lake Tahoe, in California and Nevada, so as to give the com- pany better terms. Mr. Finney said that every contract relating to Lake Tahoe water was prepared by the reclamation service. Finney Defends Ballinger. Mr. Finney also replied to the criti- cisms of Secretary Ballinger by Direc- tor Newell and Chief Engineer Davis have promises. would be made. 810 of the reclamation service. These witnesses contended that Attorney General Wickersham held the “co- operative certificates,” or “Garfleld currency,” to be illegal because he had been led to believe that there were no funds in the reclamation fund, where- as some $2,000,000 was available. Mr., Finney said that when the matter first was presented to the attorney general both Messrs. Newell and Davis were writing that there was no money on hand for new projects of any sort. He said also that after the opinion had been rendered Newell complained that the statement of facts to the attorney general was not a fair one and he believed that if the recla- mation service had been allowed to present the matter the opinlon would have been different. “It was agreed then that a new case should be presented to the attor- ney general,” continued the witness, “and so a complete statement pre- pared by Mr. Newell was included in the papers on which a second opinion was asked. The second opinion con- firmed the first one.” DELAY IN HYDE MURDER CASE lliness of an Important Witness the Cause. Kansas City, April 18.—On account of Dr. G. T .Twyman, state witness, being stricken with appendicitis and it being impossible to tell his exact condition, the Hyde trial was con- tinued for two days. Pending a more detailed statement of the physician’s illness the jury is held without being sworn. In the event of Dr. Twyman’s death the case would go to trial im- mediately. If, however, his illness is not fatal, but lingering, the state may ask that the jury be dismissed and the case continued indefinitely. Such a course will be opposed by the attor- neys for Dr. Hyde, as they are desir- ous of their client being given an im- mediate trial. CONFINED TO A FEW WOMEN Duke of Manchester Ridicules Suf- frage Movement in England. St. Louis, April 18.—Woman suf- frage in England is not the burning question Americans have been led to believe it to be, according to the Duke of Manchester, who, with the duchess, formerly Miss Helen Zimmerman of Cincinnati, and Miss Margaret Shonts, passed through here en route to New York from Mexico. The Top Notchers Today Bertha Benson......... Address al Subscripions and Communicationsfo “Outside of 200 or 400 women,” de- clared the duke, “I don’t think any one cares much about the suffrage ques- tion. T don’t think the movement as a whole amounts to much or ever will,” on President Taft’s experience with the suffragettes in Washington. Drowns in Two Feet of Water. Tacoma, Wash., April 18.—Margaret Brennan, a nurse, twenty-two years old, was drowned in two feet of water in Muck creek, nineteen miles from Tacoma, being pinioned under an au- tomobile that went over a bridge. Virginia Town Wiped Out. Graham, Va., April 18.—The town of Cleveland, in Russell county, this state, was practically wiped off the map by fire, the loss. heing $100,000. DATE AND PLACE LEFT OPEN Minnesota Democrats WIi| : One of Twin Clities. St. Paul, April 16.—The Democratic state central committee held a brief meeting at the Merchants’ hotel. Neither time nor place for holding the state convention of the party was set. St Paul and Minneapolis are both eager bidders for the meeting and the Commercial clubs of the two citles have extended invitations to the Dem- ocrats and offered them a meeting place. i In view of the length of time which will elapse before the state conven- tion is held it was thought wiser to postpone action on time and place for a month or two. As a result the power of making the choice of a meet- ing place and fixing a date was dele- gated to a committes of five to be appointed by the chairman, who will be a member ex-officio. Meet In First of the Season. Valley Spring, Minn., April 16.—A tornado swept through the country near here and destroyed a couple of barns. No other damage is reported. The weather has been cool and did not appear likely to bring such a storm. It is probably the first tornado that has struck Southern Minnesots this year. Funds for Tuberculosis Fight.

Reduce Prices. Newark, N. J.,- April 15.—That ev- ery butcher shop in ‘this city will be closed within twenty-four hours, to stay closed until the wholesale deal- ers lower the prices of meat, was the declaration of the butchers’ associa- tion’s president, commenting on the meat boycott movement which has swept over the city since the begin- ning of the week. Crowds throng Prince street, which is the center of the meat and grocer- les trade. Turbulent demands have been frequent during the last twenty- four hours and there is no indication of any let up. A mob of 5000 men, women and children marched down Prince street, defying the police to stop them. Many who attempted to hold open air meet- ings were stopped by the police, but some of the agitators got up in the second floors of the houses and harangued the crowds from the win- dows. Five persons are under arrest charged with inciting riot. The most serious demonstrations occurred when a mob of rioters cap- tured a butcher’s wagon, loaded with stock, and poured kerosene oil over the contents of the vehicle. Attempts were made to set fire to the wagon, but the prompt arrival of the police reserves prevented it. PROPERTY DAMAGE IS HEAVY Earthquakes Cause Costa Ricans to Abandon Homes. San Jose, Costa Rica, April 16.—A series of earthquakes, varying in in- tensity, has swept over Costa Rica during the last twenty-four hours, do- ing vast damage, the extent of which is now estimated at more than $1,- 000,000. So far there has been no re- port of loss of life, but the people in the cities are panic stricken and are abandoning their homes for the hill- sides.
