ltlT.I To Whom It U11 ronrcrn. THE ANNUAL PENTANGULAR TO WASHBURN DEBATERS THE THE IN LIVESTOCK Short Stories of 'Topeka Happenings REPORTS GIN MARKET Chicago, April 13. Fright over the dwindling of elevator stocks of wheat and because car scarcity rendered doubtful any timely increase of the amount of wheat In storage here carried wheat prices today to new high records, with May options up 7c to $2.26. Advances, however, were not well maintained, quotations closing unsettled at $2.21 to 12.21 for May and $1.88 to $1.89 for July, with the market as a whole ranging from ic net decline to a rise of as compared with yesterday's finish. Corn closed off to Ulc up, oats unchanged to lower and provisions down 25c to $1.25.

Sensational breaks in May wheat prices at Kansas City had much to do with unsettling sentiment here in the last half of the day and there was liberal profit-taking by holders. Nevertheless, much uneasiness continued as to the May option contract stocks in Chicago having already faded down to 1,500,000 bushels. Corn as well as wheat Jumped to new high records and then reacted. Oats were governed by the action of other grain. Selling ty pacKers caused scarp aecunes In the market.

The seventy-one men recruited in the last six days In Topeka for the. First Company of Engineers of Kansas, were muatered into the Kansas National I Guard at the Second Regiment band armory, 112 East Seventh street, last night by Adjt. Gen. Charles I.

Martin. Capt- G. L. McLane, who was in command of the supply "company of the Second Kansas Infantry last summer, was given command of the engineers, and Hugh T. Crawford, assistant city engineer of Lawrence, was made first lieutenant.

Those who enlisted yesterday and brought the company above the muster in strength were: Joseph H. Talbert. Theodore H. Reed, Howard M. Welch.

Allen T. Compton, Raymond A. Knight. Ernest L. Brown, Thomas A Stephan, William J- Stewarte, Seldon G.

Tomlinson. Vance V. Prowitt. Eldridge Gaston. Fred F.

Noma and Paul R. Shrader. The recruiting detail, composed mot Corporal Reed Morrison and Privates Harold Corbin and David Fleming, established a record for enlisting these men, but they will not close up their station. The detail expects to enroll as many more men as possible before being called out. In an effort to bring the company up to war strength, 109.

The recruiting office will be kept open day and night. Corporal Morrison said last night that those already enlisted probably would be given their clothing the first of next week. More than a third of the enlisted men are students from the engineering department of the Kansas, university, and a number are students from Washburn college. Less than a third -of them are residents of Topeka, Only one naval recruit was sent east from the local navy recruiting office yesterday. The lone recruit was George Albert Ammen, of Ozawkie, who enlisted as an apprentice seaman and left yesterday for Great Lakes, 111., to receive his preliminary training.

William Province, chief mechanic in charge of the local office, will make Topeka headquarters for the recruiting serrice in this district next week, and establish smaller stations in every town surrounding this city. Province has had the assurance of the Chamber of Commerce that he would receive the support of its members In conducting automobile campaigns, and he expects to take up the matter with the women's clubs of Topeka. The office is being kept open every night until 9 o'clock so that mechanics desiring information and advice regarding the of the men following their trade in the navy and the shipyards can be supplied. Province is well pleased with the type of men he is enlisting, but is not satisfied with their numbers. Of the forty young men examined this week, only two had to be turned down on account of physical disabilities.

Seven new soldiers were ent east from the regular army office. Only one of the dozen or so applicants who applied for the aviation corps wa.i accepted. This was Herman G. Arndt. an experienced motor mechanic.

He will go first to St. Louis, and then will be sent to either San Diego, Pensacola, or Newport, for training with an aero squadron. Homer A. Simkins and Elza W. Caton enlisted for infantry service; Hobart Smith, Harold L.

Smith and James H. Pollock, coast artillery corps, and Robert L. Taylor, cavalry. Recruiting for Battery A has slowed down In the last two days, only five or six being ejilisted on either day. This is due in a measure to the stringent examination the men are undergoing at the hands of Lieut.

C. C. Lull, physical examiner for the battery. The personnel is already within twenty of war strength, and in spite of the slowing up of recruiting, Capt. William P.

MacLean says he expects to have over 200 men in the ranks before they are called into service. None of the married men in Battery A will be given a discharge until the- organization is called to the field. Some of the older married men, who have been in the service more than one enlistment, are making strenuous objections, but these probably will have to be overruled.

"Bottoms testimony" and "Bootleggers loyalty," two rare and wonderful things, were displayed in the second division of the district court yesterday. Dan Young, who was caught with the wet-goods on him to the extent of forty-three pints. Tuesday evening, rather than inform on whoever the person was who sold him the booze or to whom it was destined, accepted a $300 fine and a ninety-day sentence. If he had testified he would have escaped with the minimum of $100 and thirty days. Young was found by Sheriff Hugh Larimer and Undersherlff Bob.Miler with a wagon load of booze, the wagon presumably belonging to Jess McDowell, elusive bottoms jointist.

According, to Sheriff Larimer, McDowell was the real consignee of the booze and it was endeavored to implicate him by getting Young's confession as to the ownership of the horse. "That horse was in McDowell's stable. Then wasn't It his horse?" Bob Garver, county attorney, demanded of Young on the witness stand. "Ah don't know whose horse it was." "Whose permission did you ask to take the horse?" "Jes took It," Young answered. "Where did you drive to get the boozer "I jes disremember." "Isn't that McDowell's horse "Don't know, euh." "Your honor." Elisha Scott, negro attorney objected.

"This-all ain't relevant or incompetent. My client, he's just trying to show that this here horse is a community horse. That's what It Is." "Community horse" ended the case. SPRING.

By again taking both ends of a debate on the minimum wage question in the final series of the Pentangular debate among Kansas colleges, Washburn last 'night came out victorious In the annual five-cornered word battle.

The decisions here against Baker and the one at Manhattan against the Aggies were both unanimous. The logomachy on the local platform at Washburn between the Icha-bods and the Methodist debaters was considered the hardest fought of the two. In the last series of the Pentangular Baker was the only other College of the five participating, except- Washburn, that emerged victori-rus in both ends of the debate. The negative team which overthrew Baker in debate here was composed of Albert Reed. Lowell Berry, and Arthur Beattie.

Homer Osterbout. Everett Hughes, and Reginald Thompson, were the Baker representatives In the debate against the Ichabods. Arvin Olin. of Kansas university; Dean Olin Temp-lln, of Kansas university; and W. H.

Corothers. of the Kansas State normal, acted as judges. The affirmative team, composed of Clifford Hope, Roscoe Graves, and John Mahaffey, caused the downfall of the Aggie trio at Manhattan. The negative Ottawa team defeated College of Emporia on the home platform. Clarence Peterson, Ernest Keller, and Harris Hilscher, represented College of Emporia.

The Ottawa team was composed of James Gasaway, Samuel Schrelmer, and Harry Percival. Ottawa won a unanimous decision over Baker at Baldwin. Baker lost both ends of the debate last night, and as a result dropped its chance of winning the Pentangular, which went to it last year. College of Emporia dropped a victory into the hands of the affirmative team from the Kansas State Agricultural college. The debaters for the Aggies were Fred Crap, W.

A. Wunsch, and b'red Hawkins. Donald White. Paul Culbertson. and Walter Clark composed the negative team of the Emporia college.

First nighter and white lighter, Brady was a picturesque figure in New Yqrk life, altho he "never drank a drop" and ate sparingly.

He was known as a prince of good fellows, an admirer of pretty women a walking showcase of jewels. Brady's jewels always outshone the footlights at first nights.

Column 1.) has captured 16S guns and other war material.

Northwest of St. Quentin, the British advanced on a line between Hargicourt and Metz-en-Couture, capturing two woods' the Sart farm and the village of Gouzeaucourt. This advance enlarged the salient in the German lines between St. Quentin and Cambral and outflanked the Havricourt wood on the south. French troops are engaged with the Germans south of St.

Quentin. The latest official statement from Paris says the battle continues in front of the positions captured by the French. The Germans resisted desperately, but the French carried several lines of trenches between the Somme river and the railway. TAXKS SAVE TIIE DAY. London.

April 14. Newspaper correspondents with the British armies in France describe at length the violent fighting which ended In the capture of Wancourt and Heninel, south of the Arras-Cambrai high road. Some of the attackers underwent a terrible ordeal, lying on the open slopes in deep snow and icy gale and swept by German machine gun fire from Guemappe. while the sky above them was flashing with the burst of shrapnel and high explosives. When the British soldiers fought their way into Wancourt they were faced by great uncut belts of wire and waves of bullets from machine guns.

The Daily Telegraph's correspondent, referring to this action, says: "The men were held tip by great stretches of wire and menaced most evilly by an enfilading fire-from machine guns. Two tanks came to the rescue and did- most daring They up in their elephantine way! and. most skillfully guided, climbed over rough ground cleaving thru snowdrifts and mudbanks and breasting their blunt noses above the old trenches and sand bag barricades- They made straight for the stretches of barbed wire and drove thru, leaving broad lines of broken strands. One cruised into Wancourt, followed from a distance by the cheers of the infantry. It trampled upon machine gun redoubts and fired into the German hiding places.

LIVESTOCK MARKET LETTER. Kansas City Stock Yards, April 13. (Special) Cattle receipts this week were 33,000 head, 8,000 less than last week, but 7.000 more than corresponding week last year. Prices were higher first of the week, but part of the advance was lost Wednesday. Hogs this week 39,000, 8,000 less than last week and 4,000 less than same week last year.

Advancing prices were halted for the week on Wednesday. Sheep this week 26.000, 5,000 less than last week, and 1,000 less than same week last year. Lambs are 50 to SO cents higher. Beef Cattle. Prime natives sold at $12.50 to $12.85 this week, the right kind worth $13 or a little better.

Medium to good natives sell at $10.25 to $12, light weight silage steers $9 to $10. About 125 carloads of pulp-fed steers arrived, most of them sold at $11 to $12.40, one drove of 8 cars at $12.85, 1.410 pounds average, from Gebhardt Sons, Swink, Colo. A few common pulp cattle sold at $9.95 to S10.75. Quarantine cattle arrived daily, steers mostly at $10.50 to $11.40, the latter highest price on record for quarantine cattle. Native cows sold up to $10.75, pulp-fed cows $10, quarantine cows $9.50.

Good heavy bulls sold at $8.75 to $10, veal calves up to $13. Stockers and Feeders. All of the break of last week was repaired first two days this week, and prices close equal to the high time, stock steers mostly at $8.25 to $9.85, a few around $10, feeders $9.50 and upwards, a few fleshy steers at $11 to $11.15, but comparatively few feeders going out. Breeding stock is in demand, at $6.50 to $9, stock calves $8 to $10, some freshy stock calves up to $12. Hogs.

Prime heavy hogs reached $16.30 Wednesday, but packers have been fighting the market since, and prices have eased off a little, top $16.20 today on the small supply of 2,500 head. Packers, have been determined in their demands for lower prices, but have not gotten very far with their bear campaign. Reports from Boston and New York this week advised of a big advance in all kinds of meats first of the week, but since the middle of the week the words "trade looking for cheaper grades" were included, with some dullnes in the general demand. There is doubtless a limit to the advance in price, but nobody believes we are near it yet. Sheep and Lambs.

Fed stock is getting scarce, the Texas crop is late, because of dry weather, and native spring lambs are being held back for a growth of wool, lack of a good pelt depriving them of their usual premium this year. Wooled lambs close the week worth $15.25 to $15.70. yearlings up to $14.35, wethers $13.35, ewes $13.10, feeding 'lambs $14, fat goats in fleece $9, clipped $8, clipped brusher Angoras this week $7 to $7.50, 64 to 79 pounds average. KANSAS CITY HORSE MARKET. Kansas City, April 13.
