Prescriptions Filled . After 7
O'clock Are uoierous. :
o Effort Will Be Made, How
ever, To Resist.
In the matter of the 7 o'clock clos
ing of the drug stores of the city, the
druggists seem to be about evenly di
vided on the question as to whether it
will be dangerous for the community
to have no place open where medi
cines and drugs can be obtained In
emergences. Some of the druggists
said this morning that the night busi
ness in medicines was not sufficient to
warrant the stores in keeping open.
whil others said that the prescrip
tions filled after 7 o'clock in the even
ing made up a fair percentage of the
day's drug business.
The majority of the druggists in
terviewed seemed to - think that it
would be better if the drug stores were
allowed to open at "noon or there
about and stay open . until late at
night, instead of opening at 9 o'clock
in the morning and closing; at 7
o'clock. None of the druggists, how
ever, showed any intention or inclina
tion to find fault with the drastic
order except that jt was felt that the
drug stores were as important to the
welfare of the community at large as
the pool halls that are allowed to stay
open until 10 o'clock at night.
Many Emergency Calls.
One druggist said this mocning that
hardly a night passes without 'one or
more calls from small town and coun
try doctors for anti-toxins and serums
for use in emergency cases. This
druggist was one of thpse-in favor of
the noon to 10 o'clock closing hours.
Most ot the prominent physicians
and surgeons of the city were of the
opinion that in cases of . sudden
emergency it would be possible to ob
tain the necessary aids in the same
way that emergency toxins and anti
toxins have been secured in the past
after midnight, that is get the drug
gist out of bed and take him to his
store. TSe doctors seemed to be of
the opinion that arrangements could
be- made with telepl.c w and telegraph
companies to deliver night messages
to the druggists homes. -
A6REE TO GU1LTYPLEA
Taylor Adams and Son Have Confessed
to Kidnaping Plot.
Springfield. Mo., Jan. 21. When the
cases of Taylor Adams and his son,
Cletus Adams, charged with conspiring
to kidnap C. A. Clement, a Spring
field jeweler, were called in the circuit
court at Marshfield today it was ex
pected that both defendants would
change their plea to guilty and accept
penitentiary sentences.
That prediction was based upon an
announcement last night by Prosecut
ing Attorney Paul O'Day that a ten
tative agreement as to such a course
had been reached by attorneys for the
defense and state. However, in the
event of a hitch in carrying out the
agreement the cases probably will go
to trial immediately, according to tne
prosecutor, who announced that a'
number of witnesses for the stat al
ready had arrived from Missouri, Kan
sas and Oklahoma.
Fifteen Years for Adams; Ten for Son.
Attorneys for Taylor Adams and his
son, Mr. O'Day said, had agreed tha a
prison sentence of fifteen years be im
posed upon the father and one of ten
years upon the son.
It also was expected the court would
be informed that Clauae Piersol, under
sentence of thirty-five years in the
penitentiary for kidnapping of Lloyd
Keet, had decided to drop his appeal
to the state supreme court. In that
event. Mr. O'Day has announced all
other charges in the Keet and Clement
cases pending against Piersol. except
thf, mrder charge in the Keet case,
will be dropped.
.Drop Case Against Woman.
By the agreement of the attorneys
the charges of kidnaping the Keet
baby and of conspiracy to kidnap
Clement asainst Mrs. Taylor Adams,
her son Maxie. and Sam McGinnis
will be dropped.

-Washington, Jan. 21. Establish

by Chairman Chamberlain. President
Wilson and Secretary Baker are con

The war cabinet, the Dill provides,
shall be appointed by the president
with the consent of the senate and is
to have the following jurisdiction au
thority: "To consider, devise and formulate
plans and policies, general and special,
for the effectual conduct and vigor
ous prosecution of the existing war
and to direct and procure the execu
tion of the same.
"To supervise, co-ordinate, direct
and "control the functions and activi

A provision limiting the life of the

War cabinet members would receive
512.000 annually, the same as mem

PLANNED TO ROB'
Two Men Caught Sneaking Up
to Drug Store. -.
Arley Owen, 19, Admits Plan To
Make Big Haul.
MANY STORES "BEEN ROBBED
Shirts, Xeekties and Other Arti
cles Have Been Taken.
Michigan Man Convinced To
peka n It Was Easy Living.
Ro$bery of the Arnold drug store.
523 Kansas aveaue, was averted by
Officer Joe Wonderly at an early hoty
this morning in the arrest of Arley
Owen, Ifi, 519 Jefferson street, and
J. M. Carney, of Detroit, Mich.
Wonderly caught the lads as they
were sneaking along Fifth street-between
Quincy street and Kansas
avenue at 3 o'clock this morning.
An improvised "jimmy" in the pos
session of Carney led to a suspicion
that a robbery was planned. Under a
gruelling questioning from Chief of
Police Harbaugh. Sergeant "Jumbo"
Sturm and Detectives Ransom and
Frost, -young Owen broke down at
noon and confessed that they had
planned to rob the Arnold drug store
of a quantity of drugs. In addition,
they planned to steal an automobile In
a garage in the rear of 410 Madison
street and make their escape.
Actual crime as well as contem
plated misdeeds has been perpetuated
by the pair. Owen admitted. For two
weeks they have been visiting Topeka
stores -and while Owen engaged the
clerks in conversation. Carney had
stolen quantities of neckties and other
articles, Owen confessed.
The Articles Stolen.
The articles Owen has confessed to
stealing are as follows:
One 15 electrical massage machine
from the H. P. Howard Electric eom-Par-"-
Ten of the most expensive silk neck
ties on display- by the Felix Clothing
company.
Three shirts from the Palace Cloth
ing company. (One shirt Is valued at
U0.) .
Twelve neckties from the ew Toggery-
,
One 55 vase from the Crosby Bros,
store.
Xearlv all the stolen property was
recovered by officers this morning in
Carney's room at 410 Madison street.
That was where the automqbile was
located the lads planed to steal. Owen
says It is owned by people who are
now in Oklahoma. He didn't know
their names.
Owen says he has been out of work
for several weeks and has a wife on
his handA One-day he met Carney
in the Mission pool hall and entered
into conversation with the fellow.
,Easy to Get By?
"He commenced telling me how easy
it was to eret bv. said Owen. ' I see
now I hadn't any brains. Finally, he
coaxed me to go into the stores with
him and talk to the clerks while he
took the stuff. I never got a thing
out of it, excepting some nice neck
ties. See, this is one I have on now.
Carney took it all to his room.
"We started out a half dozen times
to rob the Arnold store. I got cold
feet- every time. I read too much
about such fellows getting shot. 1 mus
tered up some courage last night and
we started out again. My nerve was
oozing out of me as we neared the
store, about the time Wonderly caught
us."
Owen's marriage to Theresa Aldaf
fer, formerly a pretty telephone oper
ator, was sensational. With his fath
er, he went to Junction City and ob
tained a license to marry the girl, giv
ing her age as 19 while her relatives
claimed she was only 1 years of age.
They were married in Topeka.
A few days later the bride went to
the home of her cousin, Mrs. David
Jones. 200 East Seventeenth street, to
get some clothes The cousin refused
to permit the girl to return to her hus-
band until she had obtained "permis
sion to marry Owen from her father,
who was living in Oklahoma. Owen
called an attorney and threatened to
bring habeas corpus proceedings in
order to get his bride. Finally. Mrs.
Jones was induced to releafee the girl.
