COPPER WHO SAW
HUBBY BEAT MAN
CALLED COWARD
Sirs. Lela Pressman Answers
Divorce Petition Today.
She Says Traffic Cop Watched
Pressman Hit Her.
'DENIES NEW YEAR'S KISS
Clerk's Wife Tells of Her Bui
fish Episode.
Husband Told Her To Get $25
From "Friend."
Mrs. Lela Pressman calls on Major
House to discharge George Brown, a
patrolman, for cowardice displayed by
the officer when he stood by and
watched her husband beat her and at
the same time administer a whipping
to a man by the name of Buifish. The
demand for Brown's dlscharite is made
in a cross petition filed by Mrs. Press
man in answer to a petition filed by
her husband. Charles Pressman.
In her petition. Mrs. Pressman al
leges that Brown stood by on New
Year's eve in a Kansas avenue room
ins house with a drawn revolver while
Pressman slruck her and gave Buifish
a beating. The officer, she states, had
'been employed by Pressman to pro
tect him.
"No American with red blood run
ning in his veins would stand by and
watch a man beat a defenseless wo
man in such a manner," reads the
cross petition.
Advice to Detective.'
Then. Mrs. Pressman points out to
the mayor that his detectives might
bettei employ themselves in chasing
d wn a bunch of poker players said
to be operating in Topeka than in
doing "shadow ' work for a jealous
husband. In h'er cross petition, Mrs.
Pressman states ;hat her 'husband is
a gambler, who belongs to a club of
poker players operating in the city.
The original charge made by Press
man that she came home with Buifish
on New Year's eve after going to a
roomin ; house with him is denied by
Mrs. Pressman. instea'1, she states,
that her husband went out to a dance
and lert her with instructions to en
tertain Buifish and, if possible, to get
J-'i from him c,ven if she had to dis
grace herself in so doing.
Mrs. Pressman says she didn't spend
the evening with Buifish but went to
a picture show instead, returning
home about 1 1 o'clock and it happen
ed,, that Buifish came up the stairs
shortly after she did. There they
found the husband and policeman
waiting.
Mrs. Pressman states' that Press
man was so jealous that he wasn't
cwntent to have detectives on her trail.
He disguised himself in a fur overcoat
and goggles and followed her to pic
ture shows to satisfy himself that she
was behaving, Mrs. Pressman alleges
ki her petition. Pressman is a clerk
he the Hub clothing store. Mrs. Press
man's parents live in Shorey.

CAR SHORTAGE SERIOUS, W. H. IMES, TOPEKA MOTOR CAR ' -
DEALER, RECEIVES DODGE CARS SHIPPED BY EXPRESS
For weeks the freight car shortage has been growing more and more critical. Unable fto get cars and with his j
customers demanding deliveries, W. H. Imes, a Topeka motor car dealer, wired the Dodge Bros, factory to send ;
along a car of automobiles by express. That was some time ago and since that time Imes has received several ex
press carloads of machines. .
Everything considered, it costs about 34 a car more to ship from the Dodge factory to Topeka by express. .The I
scene above was taken during the unloading of one of the express cars used at the Santa Fe depot.
Imes believes he has solved the car shortage problem insofar as he is concerned. Five more cars by express!
will be received by him in a few days. ' I

TAG YOUR SHOVEL
Wednesday, January 30, Is Des
ignated In Topeka.
People Asked To Aid , in Con-
' serving Fuel Then.
IT IS CHILDREN'S DRAFT DAY
i
Matter Is Taken Up Thru the
Schools of the City.
"Little Missionaries of Thrift''
Is Their Title New.
"Tag-your-shovel day January 30,"
it is the latest effor of the United
State3 fuel administration in its effort
to teach the people ol this country the
vital need for saving every possible bit
of fuel. There have been tag" days
and tag days but this tag day is to be
a day when the people will not be ask
ed to give anything at all,but will, on
the other hand, be urged to save.
Also, this tag-day campaign will be
strictly in the hands of the school chil
dren of Topeka, each one of whom is
expected on that day, January 30, to
tie to the handle of his home coal
shovet a manila tag fuvnished by the
United States fuel administration thru
he teachers inthe schools.
The idea is that when the family
coal shoveler starts to throw that ex
tra shovelful of coal into the furnace
he will be reminded of the need of
the nation lor fuel and will therefore
refrain Irom throwing ,the extra into
the maw of the furnace.
"Missionaries of Thrift."
In announcing the i4tag-your-shovel
day" the fuel administration says:
"Tag-your-shovel" day, January 30,
becomes the children's, draft day, the
day of their enlistment in the world
war in defense of childhood, the day 4
of their partnership in national ideals
and in national duties.
The government is placing a trust
in the handfe of the school boys and
the school girls. It is relying upon
them, as an arm of the service, to be
come little missionaries of thrift, to,
carry to their own homes the message
"save coal" and to be the consecrators
of the lamily coal shovel to the world
wide cause of humanity.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Having; discontinued the Automobile business, we take this opportunity of informing;
our mapy Friends and Patrons of the fact and, at the same time, thanking them for the
liberal patronage extended during all the years we have served them. In retiring from
the Automobile business we tried to do so in ta manner that would meet the approval of

letter notifying the Company of our intention and their reply : '
f OUR LETTER
Jan. 4th, 1918.
Mr. E. M. Lied. Branch Manager,
Willys-Overland Inc.:,
Kansas City, Mo.
Dear Sir: '
After due consideration have decided to not
ask you to renew my Overland contract for 1918
as I feel quite certain that the Agency will not
interest me under the new territory plan.
If it is your desire that we do so, we will take
care of the Overland repair business until such
time as your new Agent is prepared to do so.
We have quite a lot of Overland new parts on
hand, which, if satisfactory to you, we will in
voice and return for credit as soon as we are
through with the repair business, which we trust
will be soon as we have other matters on hand
which should have our undivided attention.
Another thing that would suit us would be a
prompt settlement with the Overland Company
of all unsettled business.
Our 'business relations with the Willys-Over-
land Inc., for the past nine years have been pleas
ant and it with some regret, of course, that we
part company with "Our first love in Automo
. biles."
Wishing you the compliments of the Season; a
Prosperous and a Happy New Year. I remain,
. Yours very truly.
Signed, J. S. WARNER.'

to all concerned. Let us extend to you our very
best wishes for your future success. With the
writer's personal regards, we remain,
. Very truly yours,
. ' Signed. E. M. LIED.
Branch Manager.
In this connection we wish to call the attention of our old friends and patrons and the general public
to the fact that we have not gone out of business: only dropped one line of goods to take up another. We
can still be found at our old stand, 819-821-823 Quincy Street or 121-123 North Kansas Avenue, ready to
serve you with Goodyear tires, where you are cordially invited to -come to be served. "'

a Divorce Today. -
A good looking wife with an eighty
acre farm added didn't make Olcott
W. Sage a happy man, his wife tola
Judge Whitcomb today prior to re
ceiving a divorce decree.
"My father deeded an eighty-acre
farm to him and put a house on it,"

ley and her parents are wealthy farm
er's living near Granlville. Sage is well
known in Topeka and. at one time

home', she testified, and ever since
their marriage until their separation
Sage and his wife had lived at the
Shirley hon,e. Shedid everything in

at the table without speaking a word
to her. '
"I've heard him say she wasn't the
kind of woman he admired," testified
Mrs. Shirley.
"He was a Queer man," commented
Judge Whitcomb. , .
"He's certainly not as good a man
as I've got," retorted Mrs Shirley. .
Shirley, who was seated in the court
room, blushed furiously. The Judge

TO BUY R. C. MATERIAL
Topeka Business Men Pledge Monthly ,
Sum to Cauac of Mercy. . J
t Petitions are now being circulated
'in the city, principally in the business
district, asking that the business men
of Topeka subscribe a certain amoant
for each of the next four months for
the purpose of furnishing work in the
Red Cross rooms for -women of the
city who are in dire straits for want of
remunerative labor. : i (-
This movement is distinctly not a
part of the Red Cross but is an inde
pendent movement among a number .
of prominent men of the city to relieve
in a small measure the home service
section of the Red Cross and the Prov
ident association of some of the in
numerable demands made upon them.
The treasurer of the new movement
is Judge L. S. Ferry, a prominent To
peka attorney.
Before the petitions were hardly
started a number of subscriptions have
been made in amounts arranging from
il for each of the four months to
112.60 for each month. The plan was
originated by Charles S. Locknane. of
416 New England building, because he
felt that the business men of Topeka
were more than willing to help the
poor women of Topeka and at the
same time boost along the work of
the Re I Cross.
