Coroner's Jury Holds Hack man for Morkinson Murder. Circumstances Look Bad for the Prisoner. WEB IS TIGHTENING. Mrs. Robinson Saw Hack Near Soldier Creek. Blood Stains Found on His Trousers L9gs. "We. the jury empaneled to hold an Inquest into the death of William Morkinson, etc.. find that the deceased met death from gun shot wounds in the right temple and by a blow of some blunt instrument in the hands of Wilburn Van Horn." This was the verdict reached by the coroner's jury shortly after the noon hour today after they had listened for three hours to a great variety of testi mony from a great variety of persons who had been called as witnesses for the inquest which was presided over by Dr. Keith, the coroner, and con ducted by J. J. Schenck, the county attorney. The inquest was held in the district court room in the court house, Th The men on the jury who returned this verdict were John Howe. Hiram Davis, B. Evans. Samuel Steele. James Campbell and K. B. MacMaster. Their deliberation over the verdict aid not consume fifteen minutes time. Van Horn, who was in the court room when the verdict was returned, met the specific charge of murder which the jury made against him with calmness and stolidity. As a matter of fact he did not act nearly as nervous when the verdict was read to him as he did during the hours of the inquest when damaging testimony was given against him. As soon as the coroner's Jury had completed its work J. J. Schenck. the county attorney, began the prepara tion of a formal complaint charging Van Horn with murder in the first degree. A warrant was issued during the afternoon and formally served on Van Horn. He was then regularly committed to Jail on the murder charge and will not be released on ball, even if he could furnish any amount, for the crime charged against him is a capital one. Evidence Is Circumstanlnl. There was no direct evidence pre- fented at the inquest to prove that Van Horn actually did commit the brutal murder wih which he is charged. But there was any quantity of the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence pre- Bonte.1 to connect him with the crime, In fact many a man has been hanged on evidence not half as strong, eircum stantiallv. as that which was presented to the coroner's Jury. And at that there is a lot of evidence in the pos resslon of J. M. Wilkerson, the sheriff, ard J. J. Schenck. the county attorney, nr. Keith, the coroner, end other peace officers, which was not presented. This is in the nature of admissions ana con tradictions made by Van Horn during the several examinations he has been put through by the officers since his arrest on yesterday morning. So strong was the case against Van Horn that lt was not dei-med necessary by the county authorities to put in all of the 'evidence In their possession. Perhaps the most damaging piece of evidence against Van Horn was the certain proof that the revolver which was found on the breast or Morkinson, with but one empty chamber, was a revolver that had belonged to Van Horn. In fact it was taken out of pawn by Van Horn at an early hour on the morning that th crime was committed. For a long time yesterday afternoon during an examination of Van Horn in the county jail, he strenuously insisted that he had never owned a revolver. He finally admitted taking one belonging to his brother out of pawn and told teveral stoiles ot how Morkinson got possession of it on the morning that he was killed. H. A. Dusenberry, a member of the police force, who went with Dr. Keith on Wednesday afternoon to the place where Morkinson's body was found, took the stand and told the Jurors of finding the body and the revolver .n Its breast. There was one empty chamber in it and the other chaoi bers contained loaded cartridges. II also told of finding another loaded cartridge on Morkinson's coat which had been rlaced und'ir the dead man's head for a pillow. Mr. Schenck produced an Iver Johnson thirty-eight caliber blue steel barreled revolver and Dusenberry ld"ntified it as the one that had been found on Morkinson's breast. Morris Lieberman, a clerk in Jacob eon's pawnshop at No. 500 Kansas avenue, was the next witness called. "Do you know Wilburn Van Horn?" askpd Mr. Schenck. "Yes. I've seen him several times," answered Lieberman. "Ever do any business with him?" 'Yes. hs pawned a revolver in the ttore on March 21." When did ha take it out of pawn?" Early on Wednesday morning. about twenty minutes after seven o'clock. It cost him $1.75 to got it ut of pawn." "What sort of a revolver was it?" "An lver-Johnson's, thirty-eight cal iber." "Is that the revolver?" asked Mr. Schenck, as he handed Lieberman the revolver which Dusenberry had pre viously Identified as having found on Morkinson s breast. Lieberman took the gun, examined it carefully and then stated very positively: "That's he very gun." "Did Van Horn buy anything else in the store that morning?" asked Mr. Schenck. "Yes." replied the witness, "I sold him eight thirty-eight caliber cart ridges for ten cents. He loaded the re volver with five of them before he left 'f the store. He put it in his hip pocket." ljieoerman iiieri ithuuctq me dook used in the store in which the records of articles pawned are kept. He point ed to the entry showing the pawning of the revolver on March 21. This en try was signed with Van Horn's name and Lieberman swore that it was the personal signature of Van Horn. He te stifled that Van Horn had pawned the same revolver there on a previous occasion. During the brief but most important I wnere one of the relatives got shaved, testimony given by Lieberman. Van I Horn acted most nervously.

Van Horn's Stories About Gun." Josiah Ross, the police sergeant, told on the witness stand about the con flicting stories Van Horn had told yes terday afternoon while being questioned in the county Jail by the authorities. According to the sergeant's testimony, Van Horn at first vigorously denied that he ever owned or carried a revolv er. After he made the denials as strong as he possibly could he was shown the revolver and asked If it was not a fact that he had taken it out of pawn at Jacobson's early on Wednesday morn ing. Van Horn weakened at this ques tion and admitted that he had but said that he had taken it out of pawn for his brother to whom it belonged. Then he declared that Morkinson had stolen it from him on the trip to North Topeka. First he said that he had given the gun to Morkinson at a 16 Kansas avenue, where he picked him up on the morning that the crime was committed. Then he said he gave it to Morkinson at Johnson's restaur ant where they stopped to get some whisky. Then he said that "Rabbit" (Morkinson) had stolen it out of his pocket on the way to North Topeka and had showed it to him when they reached the Bechtelheimer barn and then "run down the alley with it like a rabbit." Van Horn had insisted to the officers that this was the last time he had seen Morkinson alive. Sergeant Ros3 also testified about the stories told him by Van Horn yes terday in which he first denied that Morkinson had ridden over to North Topeka with him and then had finally admitted it. The last story told by Van Horn to Ross on this point was that Morkinson had gone only as far as the Union Pacific station with mm More Jmiortant Testimony. R. I. Wilkerson of Valencia, a brother of Sheriff Wilkerson, was an other important witness. He was standing on Kansas avenue early on Thursday morning when Van Horn drove up to him with a hack. "He asked me." said Mr. Wilkerson. "if I would drive over to the undertak ing shop in North Topeka where they had the man who had committed sui cide the day before. I told him I would and got on the hack with him. He wanted to know if he could see the body and I told him yes. He said that he might be able to identify him as he knew everybody in town. "When we reached the undertaking rooms." Mr. Wilkerson continued, "I held the horses while he went in and looked at the body. When he came out I asked him if he knew the man and he replied that he did. that it was his old chum 'The Rabbit.' He said he did not know the man's right name but that Jake Hartman and lots of other neonle did. We hunted up Hartman and he identified the man as being Morkinson. Mr. Wilkerson immediately notified the sheriff of Van Horn's proceedings and at the direction of the sheriff he held him in North Topeka until the sheriff arrived and placed him in cus tody. Blood Stains on Trousers. Sheriff Wilkerson took the witness stand and testified that he had found some stains on the legs of the gray trousers worn by Van Horn. He believed that these might be blood stains and Van Horn told him that if they were blood stains they got on the trousers on an occasion when one of Bechtelheimer's horses got his leg cut and that Becktelheimer. the hackman for whom he was working, wore the trousers on that occasion. Sheriff Wilk erson is to have an examination made of the stains on the trousers to find out for certain whether or not they are blood stains. Hack Seen Near Three Bridges. Mrs. Mary Robinson, who lives with her family on a place just this side of the t3ire' bridges near North Topeka and in the vicinity of which Morkin son's body was found, was a most im portant witness. She testified that on Wednesday morning she saw a hack being slowly driven along the Grant ville road and towards the city. It was an old hack. She could not fix the time exactly when she saw the hack but thought that it was around seven o'clock in the morning. She said that she believed that the man who was driving the hack wore gray trousers. She said that she had since ben taken to see the Betchslhelmer hack that Van Horn drove and she gave it as her opinion that the hack she saw on the road was the Bectelheimer hack. Van Horn Called to the Stand. Wilburn Van Horn, the accused, was called to the stand by Mr. Schenck and was first instructed by the county attorney that he did not have to answer any of the questions asked him if he believed that they would tend to Incriminate him. Van Horn took advantage of these instruc tions and did not answer any material questions, being Instructed by his at torneys, T. D. Humphrey and F. J. Lynch, that he was not to answer the questions. He said that he had lived in To peka for twenty-four years and was twenty-eight years old. He had been a hackman for eight or ten years. Some of the questions he declined to answer were: Were you driving a hack on Wednesday morning?" Did you know the man called Rabbit?" Did Rabbit ride over on the hack with you to North Topeka?" "Did you ever carry a revolver? "Did you ever see that revolver be fore?" and the weapon with which the crime was committed was shown to him. When the question was asked Van Horn if he ever carried a revolver he quickly replied no before he received instructions from his lawyers not to answer it. His examination occurred before the other testimony had been given proving that he ownd the re volver with 1 which Morkinson was killed. Beclitelheimer's Predicament. During the progress of the inquest Frank Bechtelheimer. the hackman. who employed Van Horn, was placed in a rather peculiar position. Bech telheimer told of Van Horn being in his employ but for a few days and said that the usual time for him to ret the hack back to the stable at 1218 North Monroe street was about 5 or 6:30 in the morning. Bechtelheimer said he left the house about 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning and went to a livery stame ana goi anotner rig which he drove around to some rela tives house. He got a couple of his relatives and then drove to Sheldon's barber shop on North Kansas avenue. AOKI WILL STAY. Japan Changes Her Mind About Recalling Him. Concludes He Is the Bight Man in the Right Place. RECEIVED SOME HINTS Other Powers Intimated That a Quarrel With America Would Leave Her to Fight It Out Alone. Washington, June 21. The formal an nouncement by Viscount Hayashi, the Japanese minister for foreign affairs in a Tokio dispatch published today that Ambassador Aokl is to be retained at Washington, is regarded here as clearly establishing the fact that the present Japanese ministry, headed by Marquis Saionji assured Itself of the support of both the unionist and conservative par ties in its present attitude toward Amer ica. For a time there was some doubt in Washington, even in the minds of the officials at the Japanese embassy as to the substitution for Aoki at Washington of a "strong" man, by which term it was understood he meant a Japanese committed in advance to the policy of demanding from America full rights of citizenship, of residence and of immi gration for Japanese. Aoki had realized early the impossi bility of securing all of these rights at this time, because of the inability of the natonal government to dominate state administration. His reports to his own government to that effect with the plain intimation that it was advisable to seek instead of unlimited rights, only those that might reasonably be expected to be conceded at this time an opportunist policy at first caused a disagreeable impression in Japan. The successful outcome of the recent war, with the natural inflation of Japanese pride, tended to make the ambassador's policy of doubtful popularity. It is quite certain that the Saionji ministry was for a time somewhat ta ken back at the ebullition of popular indignation evidenced in the publica tions In the opposition newspapers in Japan and it is even surmised that there was a slight weakening and a disposition to make some concessions. But soon after the agitation had reach ed its height, the Japanese business in terests began to feel a very strong pressure from abroad conveying a clear warning that a quarrel with American would .leave Japan friendless and -certainly would discourage the investment of foreign capital in Japanese enter prises. With this favorable influence, the Saionji ministry found little difficulty in securing the adhesion of the two great parties in Japan to its policy and the announcement made from Tokio through the Associated Press relative to Ambassador Aoki's tenure is regard ed as convincing evidence that Count Okuma's onslaught has failed and that the settled policy of Japan from now on will be to discountenance "jingo", agi tation as directed against America and to endeavor to strengthen the friendly relations between the two countries. Secretary Root left Washington to day for his summer home near Utica, N v.. and Ambassador Aoki intends to remain at Buena Vista, Md., during the heated term, so that it is not to be expected that there will be any im portant diplomatic exchanges between the governments at Tokio and Wash ington in the near future. Aoki Considered Unfit. Tokio. June 21. While there is a nnanlmitv of opinion here that Am bassador Aoki is unfitted for his present post at Washington, it is certain mat attempts have been made to remove him. he has a very powerful political support and moreover being the senior of Viscount wayasni, tne ioreign minis ter in the diplomatic service, it would be a very delicate matter for the latter to -recall him. Unless strong proof can be furnished that Ambassador Aoki is persona non grata at masninsiun u in not likely that Viscount Hayashi will take the initiative in removing him fmm the oosltion. There are rumors. however, to the effect that the Japanese ambassador is very unpopular nor. omy wth the Japanese, but among the Americans generally, and should this prove true his removal might be deemed necessary, despite the strong influences now supporting him here. LOOK FOR A FIGHT. Uqnor Dealers Expect Their Business to Become National Issue. Atlantic City, N. J., June 21. Injec ton of anti-saloon sentiments into the platforms of both great political par ties in the next rational campaign was predicted at last night's sessions of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Asosciatlon convention. Call was made for the federation of liquor interest in the United States, not only to meet the present sweep of prohibition agitation, but to prepare to check the movement In the presidential conventions of 1908. speakers declaring that growth of the crusades against liquor will force the party leaders to recognize the necessity of placing some "platform doctrine" dealing with the subject before the people at the coming election. Organi zation of a great campaign fund to meet the new conditions and big con tributions to this fund from every li ovor interest were urged. "Georga F. Diertle, Cincinnati, was elected president and other officers were named. HARVEST HANDS WANTED. Help Badly Needed in the Vicinity of Pawnee Rock. Barton Comity. Pawnee Rock, Kan., June 21. A hundred men could find employment in the vicinity of Pawnee Rock. Bar ton county, Kansas, in the harvest fields, if they come at once, at the good prices paid in few years past.

Railroads Not Satisfied With Mileage Book Plan. Make Much Extra Work for the Trainmen. AN ORDER COMING. State Board WiU Take Necessary Steps. the This Will Not Be Opposed by the Roads. An order for the establishment of a flat 2-cent passenger fare in the state of Kansas is about to be issued by the state board of railroad commissioners, regardless of the fate of the 2 cent fare laws in Nebraska, Missouri, Ark ansas, Iowa and other states. That such a policy has been decided upon was learned today from an authoritative source, but has not yet been publicly announced by the rail road commissioners themselves. For a time it was believed that the Kansas commissioners would wait to see how the 2 cent a nuie law in other states is succeeding before taking any action, but now the commissioners are said to have become convinced that rhe wisest thing to do, under the cir cumstances, is to order the 2 cent fare to be established. It is said that some of the Kansas commissioners have taken the matter up with the railroad officials, in an in formal manner, and that there is a strong possibility that the railroads will not fight the order. The railroads are said to be dissatisfied with the mileage book plan w hieh was accepted by them as a compromise for a 2 cent fare law at the last session of the leg islature. The mileage books are com ing into such genera' use that cn some of the heavy trains, on the main line it has become nece sary tor the rail roads to put on as-siscunt conductors to aid in tearing off the mileage, and making the necsssary records. It re quires considerable time to tear off the right amount of mileage and obtain the signature of tije passenger both on the back of the mileage strip and on the special slip provided for the pur pose. The additional expense of han dling traffic under the mileage book plan has had a tendency to convince the railroads that it would be about as cheap on the whole to make a general 2 cent a mile rate for everybody. From a political standpoint, it is re garded as important that the board of lailroad commisisoners should or der the 2-cent a mile rate put in. There is little doubt that unless the or der is made., the 2-rf-ent a mile bill will be one of the issuer in the campaign, and that whichever party controls the legislature, a 2-cent fare law will be passed. The-railroads realize that they are up against this and are not- in clined to be as stubborn as they were last winter when they forced the mem bers of the senate lodge to block the 2-cent bill. "It would be a very good thing," said one of the well known politicians of the state today, "to have this 2-cent a mile business settled now, and get it out of politics. There is no doubt that the board of railroad commissioners has authority to order the reduction." The section of the law which gives the board the right to reduce passen ger rates is as follows: Power and authority is nereoy ves ted in the board of railroad commis sioners, and it is hereby made its duty, to supervise all railroad freight and passenger schedules, rates, tariffs and classification. It shall be the duty of said board from time to time to alter, change, or amend any such schedule, classification, rate rule or regulation established by any railroad company.

It is understood that the disease referred to is an affection of the kidneys and that it has advanced to a serious stage. SMALL HAD NOT HEARD. President of Frisco Telegraphers' Union Was Too Quick. New York, June 21. Deputy President S. J. Konenkamp of the telegraphers' union, said today that there would be no strike of the teleg raphers in San .Francisco. Ha said that when President Small of thrt union, made the statement in San Francisco last night that a strike would be declared today, the union president had not been informed that a settlement of the difflcultios had been reached in this city through the gcod offices of Commissioner of Labor Neill. "I did not send the report of the settlement to President Small until midnight last night," said Deputy President Konenkamp today, "and when he had made the statement that there would be a strike in San Fran cisco, to be followed by a series of strikes in other cities, he had not re ceived my report."

Evidence of the Prosecution in Haywood Case All In. Handwriting Expert Is Among Last Witnesses Called. HAYWOOD IDENTIFIED By a Negro as a Party to Horse Trade in Denver. Dissenting Opinion in Habeas Corpus Case Ruled Out. Boise, Idaho, June 21. The state this morning made its last tender of evidence against William D. Haywood, on trial for the alleged murder of Frank Steunenberg and the lead is now with the defense, which will this afternoon ask for an instructed ver dict for the prisoner. Two important pieces of testimony were offered this morning. Charles S. Kingsley, a hand writing expert, testified that the writ ing on the wavers of identification on telegrams sent from Denver in the names of "J. Wolff" and "P. Bone" to 'H. Green" in San Francisco, was done by the same hand that penned Petti bone's letter to John L. Stearns. A stipulation by the defense admitting the fact that Haywood telegraphed money to Steve Adams in Ogden in 1903. and a ruling by the court deny ing the dissenting opinion .in the Moyer habeas corpus case in Colorado, clear ed the direct work by the prosecution and opened the way to the plea and the case of the defense. Proceedings in Detail. When the trial was resumed at 9:30 this morning not more than 100 peo ple occupied seats outside the bar, of these at least forty were witnesses. Haywood's mother sat on his imme diate right and she, with the prison er's sister, were the only members of his family present. Judge Wood first delivered a lono-thir opinion overruling a demurrer in one of the cases before the regular term of court. On being directed to nroeeed SenA- tor Borah announced that the state had received telegraphic information from the First National bank ver, fixing the date on one of the nrarts which have been introduced as evidence and upon which the date had been punched out by the file in the bank. This draft was for $100 and the bank wires that it bears the date of December 21, 3905. It was drawn in avor of J. L. Simnkins of TTa The letter produced in court from Pet tibone to Hogan or Orchard, received by Orchard while In Jail at Caldwell stated that "that" had been sent to "Jack." Orchard hald he had asked for $100'. The defense admitted Drima fnole that the date was December 21 anrt me uaie was recorded as evidence. w. v. McCartney, the former clerlr in tne teiegrapn ornce at Denver, tea. tified that he did not write the waiver or identity on tne back of the tele graphic money orders sent from Den ver to urcnard when on the Bradley mission in San Francisco. Hand Writing Expert Called. C. S. Kingsley, an attorney of Boise. was called. He qualified as an expert in handwriting. He was asked to compare Pettibone's signature on the letter replying to the insurance agent in Denver, who asked as to the charac ter of Orchard, with the signatures of Wolff and "P. Bone" on the back of the telegraphic money orders. Kings ley said that in his opinion the signa tures were written by one and the same person. He was not cross ex amined. Jim Seahorn, a colored horse dealer of Denver, the next witness, testified to the sale of a horse and buggy to Haywood in Denver. Orchard had testified as to the sale of the team to Haywood. He said that the outfit was needed to get about while at work in connection with their various under takings. Seahorn said that Orchard came to mm ana with him ha drove to Pettibone's place of business. Pettl bone came out and together they drove to the place he described, as the loca tion of the headquarters of the West ern Federation of Miners. "What happened then?" asked Mr. Hawley. "Orchard went upstairs and came down with another man." "Yes. what next?" The Other Man. "The other man got in the buggy and they said tney would oe back soon and drove off together." "Do you know this other man "Yes sir, I have seen him." "Would you know him now?'" "Yes." "Look around and see If you can see him here." The negro looked over the defense's side and pointed a finger at Haywood. "Yes sir, that's the man," he said. There was a pause and a silence brok en only by a stir among the spectators. It was the first direct connection of Haywood with Orchard and a strong corroboration of the Orchard story. "How much did you get for the out fit?" "$110." "Who paid you?" "Mr. Orchard." "You just got the money and gave Orchard a bill of sale?" "No sir. The bill of sale was made to Mr. Pettibone." k He described the horse as a little black mare and the vehicle as a top buggy. Seahorn was only briefly cross examined. He said he met Orchard at the penitentiary after coming to Boise. He said he was summoned by Pinkerton detectives and received his fare and ex penses from them in advance. Seahorn proved to be the last witness for the Etate. State Closes. Senator Borah stated that with the exception of proving the sending of a money order for $75 by the Western Union from Haywood in Denver to Steve Adams in Ogden, Utah, in 1903, the state's case was closed. Mr. Richardson, for the defense, said that they would agree that the state could file the telegrams as soon as they were received. Senator Borah said that the telegrams would be in Boise by this evening. "With this exception, then, your honor," said Senator Borah, "the state is ready to close its case." There was some wrangling over the reading of a long opinion delivered in the Colorado courts, and which the defense said should be read as it had been offered as evidence for the state. Judge Wood looked over the de cision and denied the motion that it be read to the Jury. This closed the state's case and at 10:25 the court ad journed until 1:30 r. m.. when the de fense will move that the court instruct the jury to render a verdict of not guilty. THERE WAS NO BOMB. Bradley Has Testified Twice to This Effect. San Francisco, Cal., June 21. It was announced today that Frederick W. Bradley, a mining engineer of this city, would appear before County Clerk Mul crevy, a special commissioner appointed by the state of Idaho, to take his tes timony in regard to the exDlosion of a bomb on November 17, 1904, which blew him into the street and which Harry urcnard has testified in the trial now going on at Boise, that he placed at Bradley's door with the intention of killing him. Bradley has already sworn, it is claimed, in an affidavit on October 16, of last year, that there had been no bomb in this case, but that he knew and was satisfied. It was an explosion of gas, a statement reiterated under oath on February 6th of this year. Another witness who will testify before the com mission in this case is Tracey Cum mlngs, who had come out of an adjoin ing flat shortly before Bradley was blown up and has claimed he saw no bomb, where Orchard says he put the explosive. TRAFFJCjJOUP. Yanderbilts Secured a Grip on Chicago's Business. Lease Outer Belt Line From Junction Railway. Chicago,' June 21. The Record- Herald today says: Final steps are being taken in New York to complete a $70,500,000 rail way coup which the Vanderbllts have engineered to secure the lion's share of th9 tremendous traffic which origi nates in Chicago and the surrounding territory as well as the great tonnage which passes through and around Chicago. The culminating financial transaction in this great traffic deal, which Wm. H. Newman, president of all New York Central lines, has been successfully playing in the interests of the Vanderbilts, is the leasing, with right to purchase, of the outer belt line from the Chicago Junction Rail way company. Supplementing this is the leasing for a term of 99 years of a part of the tracks of the Chicago. Terminal Trans fer Railway company which forms the connecting link in the complete inner belt railway system which the Vanderbllts are securing. President John A. Spoor of the Belt road yesterday confirmed the lease and declared that before the end of the year the outer belt line, which his company now owns and operates, would pass entirely into the posses sion of the New York Central lines. When these transactions shall have been completed the Vanderbllts will have two comprehensive belt line Sys tems encircling Chicago; an inner and an outer telt, nnd both bisected by every line of railway that enters Chi cago or cp.n enter it in the future. The outer belt Is the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, known as the "Three I's" road. Another integral part of this great traffic coup which the Vanderbilts have been quietly perfecting fcr the past five years, is the Chicago, Indiana Southern road, which they have built directly south from Chicago to Dan ville, where it connects with the Big Four road. It is a part of the compre hensive traffic compaign, which they have carefully planned and executed, to extend this system straight south to the gulf before the opening of the Panama canal. Accordingly, when the canal is open ed, the New York Central lines will, through the expenditure of at least $125,000,000 and possibly $150,000,000, have the whip hand over the greatest tonnage producing area in the world, MEATWILL BE HIGHER. Secretary Wilson Says Advance In Price Is Perfectly Natural. Chicago, June 21. A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington, says: In the opinion of Secretary Wilson, the recent Increase in the price of meats is entirely natural and even a further advance in prices may be expected. That the cost of meats Is greater to day than ever before is conceded but Secretary Wilson believes that Ameri can prosperity is at the bottom of the situation. The people are eating meat and the farmers are not raising so n any cattle as formerly. There is also an enormous export trade which cuts a great hole in tte supply. TAFT CAUGHT ON FLY. Festus J. Wade Talks Business to Him in St. Louis. St. Louis. Mo.. June 21. Secretary of War Taft arrived this morning from Kansas City en route to Wash ington. During his stay of two hours Festus J. Wade was in conference with him relative to the dispute be tween the Philippine government and th"? Jesuit Fathers, concerning the ownership of $8,000,000 worth of property In the Philippines. Festus J. Wade, who Is president of the Mercantile Trust company, rep resents Archbishop Harty of Manila, in endeavoring to secure settlement of the dispute.

ONLY ONE FAILED Embryo Lawyers Make Remark able Record. Fifty-Four Successfully Pass th Examination. THEY AHE SWOKN IN. Solon William Smith of Rooks Fails to Appear. Some of the Problems the Class Had to Solve. There are 53 more lawyers in the state of Kansas today than there were yes terday, and there might have been 54. but Solon William Smith, of Rook county, who was the 54th, failed to show up in the Supreme court room Thursday to be sworn in. The 64 young men who were admitted to the bar had all proved their worth by taking and passing the state bar examination which has been In progress at representative hall for the past three days. Only one of the persons who took the examination failed to pass. This is an unusual thing, for there are generally several who fail to "make the riffle" at the first trial, and have to come back and try again. The ceremony of swearing In the class of 53 new lawyers took place be fore the justices of the Supreme court. it was short and formal, and not at tended by speechmaking or fireworks. The great bulk of the examination consisted in a recital of th serious dif ficulties which seem to dog the foot steps of Mr. A and Mr. B. Mr. A seems to have been an armv of ficer, though the evidence on this point is a little conflicting. Mr. B was evi dently in public life to some extent, but both A and B had a terrible habit of going Into rash speculations and partici pating in deals of a most questionable nature. The history of A and B begins with an army scandal, in which A was evidently the guilty party. It seems that A tried to clear himself of odium by bringing a libel suit against the newspaper which printed a story about the affair. That is the way many guilty people seek to obtain whitewash and funds. The way the board of law examlnera stated the situation is as follows: 'The secretary of war appointed a commission to report upon the conduct of A. an army officer, who was charged with improper conduct. B and C, mem bers of the commission, reported that A's conduct had been dishonest. D. published the report in his paper head ing it "A Dishonest", and editorially ex pressed regret that A had been found guilty. The commissioners' report was false and based on evidence not reason ably pointing to A's guilt. The evidence did not appear in the record. What are A's rights against D?" As an example of how A tried to get even with B for this army investigation affair, after his libel suit fell through, the following incident is related in tho examination questions: "A stored a quantity of wool in a warehoupe owned by B, and paid the usual storage charges. One night B left the door of his warehouse open, and A entered secretly and removed the wool, lnt3nding to hold B liable for It and make him bear the loss. Could A be criminally prosecuted for taking the wool which belonged to himself?" And here was an example of an un pleasant situation In which the unfort unate Mr. A was continually finding himself: "A borrowed a horse from his neigh bor and rode to a town five miles dis tant, wh'are he tied it close to another horse, which kicked and severely in jured It. Is A liable In damages for the injury to the horse?" A seems to have been continually In hot water with his neighbors. Not only did A succeed in getting his neighbor's horse killed, but he also became in volved in the following difficulty with a neighbor probably the same neigh bor and the law students had to help them out: "In building the foundation for his house, A was obliged to blast rock, which damaged the building of his neighbor, who sued him for damages. Assuming that he used al reasonable care, is he liable?" Digging a little deeper Into the his tory of this man A, we find that he also had trouble with his wife. The examination questions say: "A desired to move to California from Kansas, but his wife refused to go. The husband left her and went to California alone. Was his removal an abandonment of the wife?" The correct answer to this question would be that A exercised poor Judg ment in going from Kansas to Califor i ia. However, A seems to have been a good deal of a sucker at other stages in his career. Here Is one of the scrape into which he got because of his Ignor ance: "A purchased a horse of B, who guar anteed it to be sound and perfect in every way. A gave a note in payment. As a matter of fact the horse was un sound, and worthless. B sold and as signed the note to W. W. commenced suit against A, who answered that the consideration had wholly failed. In that the horse was unsound and worthless. Is this a good defense?" This simply shows the lengths to which A would go to avoid the penalty for his ignorance. He had no business to be buying horses. He might have expected to get swindled. As a matter of fact, A deserves very little sympathy anyway, for one of the questions clearly shows that he was try ing to work a skin game on a cray man. Only the fact that A was always blundering prevented the accomplish ment of this unworthy object. This was the situation: "A, knowing B to be of unsound mind, made a contract with him which turned out greatly to B's advantage. A re pudiated It, and B's guardian sued for breach of contract. A answered that B was non compos mentis at the time the contract was made. Can the suit be maintained?" However, the last question in the ex amination shows that A got about all that was coming to him In the end. A building fell on him. This was the way it happened: "While A was passing along a publlo street, and without any fault on his part, a building fell and severely In jured him. He commenced a damagd suit against B, the owner, for negll- (Contlnued on Page Ten.)

Take Telegram From Topeka Stirred Up the Bow. Wichita. Kan., June 21. Pitcher Jones of the Topeka team was too much for the local hitters Thursday and the visit ore won a. loosely played game by the score of 4 to L Jones had the Jobbers at his mercy, allowing but six hits and striking; out ten batsmen. He pitched shut-out ball until the ninth Inning, allowing but one man to reach second base In that time. In the ninth Inning Hetling knocked a neat single to center field. Bayless fouled out and Speer struck out but Nichols knocked a three base drive to center field and Hetling scored. Becker also pitched winning ball with the exception of the fourth Inning but errors and "bone head" playing lost the game. In the last half of the second Inning Manager Holland of the local team assaulted Umpire Guthrie, after the latter had ordered him from the field for protesting a called strike. "With Holland out of the game and Catcher Weaver laid up with a sore fin. ger the locals played poor ball. Several hits of a scratch nature were made by the visitors. A telegram received yesterday morn ing from Topeka which read as follows caused the trouble between Umpire Guthrie and Holland: "Watch Umpire Guthrie. Hurlburt and Crow have fixed him." A bad decision, coming as It did in the ?arly stages of the game, made thing3 look suspicious. Holland lost his head and struck Guthrie several times but was held by the players and prevented from Injuring him. The umpire was taken from the grounds In an automobile after the game had ended. In the fourth inning Hurlburt slapped a pretty single Into right field. Abbott bunted and advanced his captain to eecond base. "Red" Davis followed with a long hit over the center field fence. In the following Inning Olson reached first on Becker's error; Tonneman bunt ed and beat it out; Jones bunted and Becker threw the ball to the right field Olson and Tonneman scoring and Jones reaching third base; Lawler struck out, Hurlburt knocked a grounder to second base and Jones was caught between third and home; Abbott ended the inn ing; by flying out. Olson and Kelley played star games In old sore or nicer la only a symptom, aa outlet for the impurities and poisons -which, are ja tJle blood, and as long as this vital fluid remains in this impure, contaminated state the place w ill never heal. The application of salves, washes, powders, etc., may cause the spot to scab over, but a fresh outpouring of diseased matter from the blood starts it again, and thus it goe3 on, gradually growing worse and slowly affecting the entire health of the sufferer. There are many ways in which the blood becomes contaminated and poisoned. A long spell of sickness breeds disease germs in the system, the failure of the elimmative members to remove the refuse and waste matter of the body, the excessive use of mineral medicines in certain diseases, all infect the blood with morbid matter and germs which sooner or later is man ifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Persons with inherited blood taint are very apt to be afflicted with sores and ulcers. The taint may lie dormant Curing young, vigorous life, but when middle age is reached or passed and the natural energies begin to grow weaker, the tissues in some weak point break down and a chronic sore is formed and kept open by the constant drainage of impure matter from the blood. If the cause is not removed the Bore will continue to grow worse by eating deeper into the flesh, festering discharging, and slowly undermining the constitution. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the very bottom of the trouble, driving out the Impurities and building up the entire circulation. When S. S. S. has removed the cause the blood becomes rich and healthy, the sore begins to heal, new flesh is formed, and soon the place is cured. Do not depend on external epplieations, which do not reach the blood, but begin the use of S. S. S. and remove of the cause, and then the sore must heal Book on Sores and Ulcers and medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA. GA. E. D.

Webb City at Springfield. Hutchinson at Leavenworth. After seeing that it is in the Topeka team to whip Wichita the fans will undoubtedly turn out In great numbers in Wichita next Sunday afternoon. The Santa Fe has completed arrangements for a special train which will leave To peka about 6 o'clock In the morning and will return about midnight. The train will teach Wichita shortly before dinner and return after supper. This will give the baseball fans all the op portunity they need to see their team play ball and will Klve the less arduous fans a chance to see the wonders of the western Kansas village. Jones will pitch for Topeka and Cyrus Young will twirl for the Rabbits. An electrical storm In Wichita yes terday Just before the game completely knocked out telegraph and telephone service between the ball grounds and the downtown offices and for this rea son the plan to give each play by wire at. the Novelty theater had to be given up, although more than 200 people were in attendance to near tne report, now ever, the wires were finally fixed up for the last two innings and enough was announced to prove that the plan Is a good one and will prove a distinct success. Elmer Meredith, as was reported in the State Journal a few days ago, has returned to Webb City. He celebrated his return yesterday by wolloping Springfield by a. score of 13 to 1. He held the Midgets to five hits. Red Davis got busy yesterday In the fourth inning and put the ball over the center field fence at Wichita. This is the first home run a visiting player has knocked on the Wichita grounds this Jones certainly must have been right yesterday. He allowed but five hits and In addition fanned ten men, which is going some. Captain Hurlburt started the fire works yesterday in the fourth inning by singling. Davis then knocked a homer and enough scores had been made to win the game. Rhody Hendrlx, the little Wichita pitcher, has been loaned to the Joplln team for the rest of the season. He Is a fair pitcher but on account of Wichita having so many pitchers he was transferred to Joplin. The papers over the circuit are allud ing to Dr. Jason Andrews as the "Beef Trust." Jay has cornered more beef than the average ball player. The fans who don't go to Wichita Sunday can witnss the game at the Novelty theater. Captain Hurlburt and even the morning lickspittle will always receive credit from the State Journal when they deserve credit. When Hurlburt acts the part of a rowdy he will be criticised by the State Journal just like any other mortal man. The part of licking his hand will be left to the morning lickspittle which has proven Its thorough qualification for the task. The action of Manager Jack Hol land of the Wichita Rabbits yesterday afternoon shows the attitude of the Wichita baseball public to a great ex tent. It has at various times been stated that the way Wichita won her home games was through bluffing the umpire and evidently that was what Holland was doing yesterday when he tried to knock a skylight out of Um pire Guthrie. A good sized fine and a suspension for an indefinite time would do much to correct the rowdy tactics of the Wichita team. Buck Weaver, the lofty catcher of the Wichita team, did not play yes terday on account of having a sore hand. They say that Buck Is about half of the team and hence his loss Is liable to be felt. The Topeka team would just as soon play with him in the game. Bill Dammann, of the White Sox early last season. Is now pitching for tho Evansville team in the Central league. Bill has pitched for several years and was at one time in the Cin cinnati team. He was pronounced dead to baseball several years ago but still hangs out with a tenacity that is remarkable.

HOW COLBY IS GROWING The Banner Crops In Thomas County Aiding the Town. Colby, June 21. The amount of building going on in Colby ought to convince every visitor that Thomas county is going to raise her banner crops. That the outlay of money being cipenuea on tne new Improvements In Colby this year will far surpass any year In all her history there is no doubt. And they are of such a sub stantial nature that It means that Col- Dy is rorging forward at as lively rate as Thomas county has grown in popu lation ana aeveiopment. The. new courtnouse, being constructed at cost of 350,000, will be completed about the 1st of September, and then all of Thomas county will point with pride to her magnificent capital build ing, which will be the handsomest courtnouse west of Mitchell county. IS or is this all: The hieh school building will cost not far from 120,- uuu ro complete ana furnish; then there is her opera house, which will cost $18,000; the cost of the I. O: O. F. building will be not far from $10, 000; the new Farmers and Merchants' btate bank building will necessitate an outlay of not less than $12,000; the farmers elevator with a capacity of ao.uuu Dusneis, win cost not less than 78,000; the new home of the Free rresa was erecte dat a cost of about $1,500; and the Catholic church will doubtless be erected this year at an expense of $5,000. These improve ments foot up close to $125,000, a good starter for this year 1907 In a town which has been dubbed bv eastern Kansas newspapers as situated In the short grass section of northwestern Kansas. joidv has two as solid banks as there are in the Sixth district. The deposits of the Farmers and Mer chants State bank aggregate $182,- uuu ana of the Thomas county bank, $230,000, or a total of more than $412,000. This don't sound as if Col by and the farmers who carry their ban kaccounts here, live in a short grass region. To see the plans of the new bank building of the Farmers and Mer chants State bank, now being built by a. iauteroach, its owner and presi dent, the visitor will scarcely believe he would erect such a structure if he thought he was living in the short grass region. He came from Nebras ka the Colby In 1886. He was Willing to try nis iuck nere, ana here he has made money from that day to this. His block is a double building, 50 feet front, by 80 feet deep. The bank room will be heated with steam, tile floor. plate glass front, new fixtures and fur niture, and modern and up-to-date In every respect. Crosby Son, the well known Kansas City contractors, who are building the new courthouse, are putting up the building. Eight automobiles are owned in Colby. Before the close of the year double this number will be In use. All of the Colby politicians are think ing of buying them, they will get over the county much faster than riding in horse vehicle, providing they are chasing after office. Colby is the banner wind mill town In the Sixth district having 168 to 152 claimed in Plalnvllle. To see these wind mills in operation watering the lovely shady lawns which Colby Is getting a goodly number of Is a pleasing sight to an visitors. Geo. Idzorek, the Polander. and one of Colby's real estate dealers, has suc ceeded .In locating about forty families on Thomas county lands. He has been here about two years. His people like this section of country and they make good farmers. Prof. J. E. Chamberlain, from La Cygne, succeeds Prof. W. E. Ray, who has been at the head of the high school for the last five years. The Thomas county school normal is in session, with a large attendance of teachers. The Colby editors. N. E. Turner, of the Tribune, and John Connelly, of the Free Press, who are, politically, as far apart as morning and night, are meeting with deserved prosperity. Each have fire-proof offices, whether hot winds are blowing or a fire is raging. Miles of cement sidewalks are being put down in Colby, and while the good work of building and making the town more attractive and permanent is going on, workmen are putting down walks of more substantial character. The Colby people could hardly be any other way than progressive in the mat ter of schools and churches. She is away ahead of many rival towns. The people appear to pull together better than in some northwestern Kansas towns. The writer has watched the pro gress of the building up of Colby before she got her first railroad, and at that time the hundreds of people in Thomas county were few and scattering. Now It is thickly populated with prosperous bank deposits, and the early sod homes have been succeeded by modern resi dences, many of them, while Colby, the county seat, has grown from frame buildings In the business portion to sub stantial brick blocks. If It is a little dry one will scarcely hear of anyone going away to better themselves. The Colby of today will grow as she grows older. Denver Boosters 5, Kinsley 1. Kinsley, Kan., June 21.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1907. M E N ADMIRE MISS EMMA RUNTZLER a pretty face, a good figure, but sooner or later learn that the healthy, happy, contented woman is most of all to be admired. Women troubled with fainting spells, irregularities, nervous irrita bility, backache, the "blues," and those dreadful dragging sensations, cannot hope to be happy or popular, and advancement in either home, business or social life is impossible. The cause of these troubles, how ever, yields quickly to Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs It acts at once upon the org-an afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effec tually all those distressing symp toms. No other medicine in the country has received such unqualified indorsement or has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Miss Emma Runtzler, of 631 State St., Schenectady, N. Y., writes: "For a long time I was troubled with a weakness which seemed to drain all my strength away. I had dull headaches, was nervous, irritable, and all worn out. Chancing to read one of your advertisements of a case similar to mine cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it and I cannot express my gratitude for the benefit received. I am entirely well and feel like a new person." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is the most successful remedy for all forms of Female Complaints, Weak Back, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulceration, and is invaluable in pre paring for childbirth and the Change of Life. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing: Invitation to Women Women enlfenng from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and always helpful. IS ODDJNDEED. More Arrests for Drunkenness Since Saloons Closed Ln Wichita, Than Trevious Month, With Joints Open. JUNE LIST A BIG ONE. Tolice Captured 251 Persons Found Violating Law. Officers Xow Say There Is No Place for Them to Hide. Wichita, June 21. The second month under the present city admin istration shows a decided increase in the number of arrests by the police over the first month, the total num ber being 251 as against 139 the first month. The charges against the per sons arrested, during the past month are as follows: Drunkenness, 120; immoral con duct, 39; disturbing the peace, 12: larceny, 3: vagrancy, 28: violation of bicycle ordinance, 11; assault, 4; gam bling, 2; leaving team unhitched. 3; crap shooting. 1, on warrant, 2; hold for investigation, 24. The first month the number of per sons arrested for being drunk was 6 9. The month previous to that it was 157, and during the month ending May 15, 1906. it was 115. I.ast year during the month from May IS to Junp 16 the total number or arrests was 2S2, for the following offenses: Drunkenness, 123; va grancy. 57: disturbing the peace, 16; immoral conduct, 22; larceny. 4; fight ing and assault, 11; ieaving team un hitched, 1; on warrants. 9; crap shoot ing. 3; insulting women. 2: hold for investigation, 34. The number of persons arrested for being drunk during the past month. at a time when the saloons have been closed, is almost as great as one year ago. when the saloons were open, but Chief of Police Wood says this is easily accounted for. His explanation Is that when a man gets drunk now unless he goes home he can find no place to keep out of the way of the officers whereas, a year ago. when the saloons were open, a great many men were permitted to lie in the rear rooms of the saloons until they sober ed ui. place of business. If all this is done we have nothing further to say on this subject. "A clean place" Is all good citizens demand of a mist joint. HIS WIFE DESERTED HIM. Troubles of ("berry vale Man Seems Greater '111 an Ho Deserves. Cherryvale, Kan., Jnue 21. Dan Dur niTs cup is running over, not. however, with blessing, as the psalmist's, but with sorrow. He left home a compara tive happy man but when he arrived at Coffeyville he received a Ieter from his wife, whom he thought, with the chil dren, was visiting relatives, stating that she had left him and that they would never return to him. While the letter does not so state Mr. Durnil says he has unmistakable evi dence that his wife has run away with another man. He does not believe she is in California as she states but thinks she is in Colorado. He says he has con vincing evidence that his wife left to join a y.T. Jones who had been direct ing his attentions to Mrs. Durnil for some time and from whom he believes she has secured a considerable sum of money at various times. Mr. Durnil tells a story of domestic infelicity and connubial unblissf ulness that will probably outrank any in this section of the country. Such stories if given the proper publicity would not have any great tendency to diminish the number of happy contented bache lors in this and surrounding cities. Mr. Durnil's domestic troubles are enough to make him care little for him self or his property, but his burden was not lessened when on returning home last night, he found his home reduced to ashes and that part of his furniture which was saved out in the yard. -Boston Americans Get Tlioney. Boston, Mass., June 21. Jack Thoney of the Toronto baseball club of the Eastern league, has been traded to the Bofton Americans in exchange for First Baseman Grimshaw and Sec ond Baseman Schlafly, the latter re cently purchased from Washington. The New Vork Americans wanted Thoney on their return from the west ern trip, but Danny Hoffman, who was doing poorly, returned to form again and Manager Griffith made no move to get Thoney. got me." So said Hugh M. Wood self-confessed deserter from the Unit ed States army at Ft. Reno, Oklaho ma, when Officer J. J. Creed walked up to him on West Madison street this afternoon and said, "I think you are tne man I want." KAN A THIEF FIVE MILES. The Long Distance Sprinting Record for Leavenworth County. Leavenworth, Kan., June 21. There was a foot race on the Kansas City road, starting at Richardson and end ing at Lewis Siler's barn, south of Lansing, a distance of five miles. Wed nesday, which for long distance sprint ing holds the record for Leavenworth county. The foot-racers were Sam Shepherd Jr., and Roy Priest. Priest,, who is about 16 years old, and whose home is in Kansas City, has been in Richardson lor about two weeks, apparently look ing for work. He got board at Sam Shepherd's house, from the son 15 years old, during the time the father is in the county jail. Shepherd made an agree ment that Priest was to pay $3 a week, When tho board was due Priest didn have the money so he gave Shepherd 1 is good suit of clothes as security. es terday morning Priest donned the suit, but Shepherd insisted that he take it off. Priest said he Just wanted to go to Jake Wiseman s for a loaf of bread Shepherd agreed. The next thing Shepherd heard was that Priest was sprinting down the Lansing road toward Kansas. City at rapid rate. Shepherd, who was not handicapped with shoes or coat, struck out after him. The two raced through Lansing and on south. Three miles be low Lansing Priest saw that he was followed by a relentless pursuer so took refuge in Lewis Slier s barn. Shepherd did not care to pursue him in there, fearing he would be hit in the head, so he appealed to Siler. Siler got a shotgun and went to the barn where he commanded Priest to come out and surrender. Priest saw that his five mile run had been for nothing so he did so. IS THERE MORE BURIED MOXEY? A "MIST" .TOIXT LICENSED. Finn at Pratt to Do Business by the Front Door Route. Pratt. Kan.. June 21. The Union says: Leepers have opened the mist Joint in the S. E. Watson building on the corner of Main and Second streets. The city fathers reconsidered their de termination to not license this busi ness and have again granted a license of $25 per month. The Leepers agree to run "a clean place" and do business through the front door. They also agree to keep drunks away from their Ball Players to Bed Earlier. Boston, Mass., June 21. Strict training rules have been issued to the White Stockings by Manager Fielder Jones. After yesterday's game the leader of the world's champions an nounced on the bench that every member of the team would have to be in bed by 11:30 o'clock every night hereafter until the championship flag was again within easy reaching dis tance of tne Chicago team. Some $3,000 Thought to Be Yet Hid on the Zlngrlch Farm. Fort Scoot, Jnue 21. It was stated to day from an official source that there is still missing $3,000 which was hoarded by the late Fred Zingrich. It is believ ed to have been buried on the Gross man farm where the other thousands were found. It was all In paper money and not in gold as the other sums were. The searching party which was piloted to the place where the other money was found, will this evening or in the morn ing make another tour and hope to find the missing treasures. There's no fear but that it won't be discovered. Mr. Grossman, upon whose farm the money was found, proved himself an honest old German by telling the persons interest ed where the money was buried. He and Mrs. Peter Zingrich, the deceased's aunt, both knew where the money had been hidden and sacredly kept the se cret, until the executor was appointed. Then the secret was divulged. Zingrich was a hard worker and saved almost all he drew from the railway company. On a nominal salary ne amassed quite a fortune during the sev enteen years he worked at the shops. Besides the $8,700 in cash he had a good farm. The only money he ever banked was the $2,500 which is reported deposited in a bank out at Eldorado. RAXCH OWXER BOUND OVER.

IOOSE-WlLES KANSAS CITY, USA. Said to Have Sold Ooyote Scalps Killed in Kiowa to Comanche. Coldwater, Kan., June 21. For the sum of $9, William Barlow, a wealthy ranchman of Comanche county, is fac ing a term in the state penitentiary on a charge of perjury and making false affidavits. It is charged that Mr. Barlow, who lives near the Kiowa county line, killed coyotes in Kiowa county and presented them for bounty in Comanche county, swearing that they were killed in the latter county. William Barlow is one of the wealth iest men in Comanche county. Among his holdings is a 20,000 acre ranch. At the preliminary hearing he was bound over for trial at the next term of the district court in Comanche county. The prosecution produced witnesses who said they saw Mr. Barlow kill the coy otes from which he took the scalps he presented for redemption by the coun ty. Witnesses said the coyotes were killed 150 feet over the line in Kiowa county. Judge Price, of As-hland, is of coun sel for the defense. Mr. Barlow is making a determined effort to clear him self of the charges against him, and the case will probably be taken to the Kansas supreme court. The penalty in the case of conviction for making false affidavits and perjury is a term or 6even years in the state penitentiary. ROB A CLOTHING STORE. EI Dorado Firm Suffers for the Third Time in Two Years. El Dorado, June 21. For the third time in little more than two years, the Taliaferro clothing stores were bur glarized Tuesday night. This means that A. G. Graner's store was included in this burglary as the one opens into the other. It seems the burglars are in posses sion of duplicate keys, or found some means of opening the front door. How much men's and boys' cloth ing and furnishings and shoes were taken is not yet determined but it was considerable. A pair of pants and some socks were found in a coal house where the thief tried and found them too small. RAILROAD NEWS Missouri Freight Rate Subject to Trial. Law Plans to Have Statute Tested Temporarily by Eoads. OUT OF STATE COURTS Question Is Now Left Entirely With Federal Tribunal. Other Items of Interest Railway People. to A 'PHONE BOYCOTT RAISED. Trouble Between the Bell Company arid Sabctha Citizens Ends. Sabetha, Kan.. June 21. Sabetha business men and citizens, after refus ing to use their Bell telephones since June 1, practically paralyzing tne plant, have raised the siege. A citi zens committee wnicn was sent to Bell representatives In May to object to an increase in rates felt that it had been treated coolly. Resenting this nearly the whole town quit using the Bell telephones. The company made apologies for the affront and offered better toll line connections. This was accepted by the town. He Killed a Weasel. Monday evening Dr. Gray found that a weasel had a home in his gar den and was feeding on his young chickens. He got his gun and sent a boy to pour water in the hole and he kept watch for game. Presently the little animal came up but turned back like a flash, yet not quick enough to escape the deadly discharge of Dr. Gray's gun. He is 70 years old but got that weasel on the fly. A Freak of a. Chicken. Jack Bourne brought to this office this morning a newly hatched chicken, which was dead, which had only one head but two sets of wings and two seta of legs. The legs were set oppo site each other that is, if the chicken were alive and able to use them, he would be both coming and going at the same time, like a modern politician out for an office. Concordia Kansas. i St. Louis, June 21. That the state of Missouri will make special efforts to have the maximum freight rate law of 1907 tried for a stipulated period, pos sibly of ninety days, appears to be certainty. A high officer of the com' monwealth said last night that Attor ney General Hadley hopes to induce the railroads to give the statute a fair test. The plan of the state wbuld be easier, this officer said, if the railroads and more of the citizens had con fidence in the railroad commission While, he stated, the integrity of the commission is not open to question. the commission has not been able to inspire adequate confidence as to its experience or familiarity with trans portation problems. The railroads could probably be in duced to put the maximum freight rate law into effect temporarily, he said, If they were assured of unbiased and nonpolitical regulation. Should the suit instituted by the railroads be withdrawn, supervision over the freight rates would devolve on the rail road commission. Attorney General Hadley departed from St. Louis last night for Jefferson City. After seeing a baseball game in the afternoon, he felt In condition to proceed vigorously with the state's cases in the federal court at Kansas City. Mr. Hadley, when asked wheth er attempts would be made to have the maximum freight rate law tried, said: That is a matter for future action I can not discuss it at this time. Next week I shall invite my associates to a conference on this subject, and then we shall determine our policy. I would not state now what our plans are in this reerard." Mr. Hadley has decided to withdraw the maximum freight cases from the circuit courts at St. Louis and Kansas City. However, he will not withdraw the 2-cent per mile passenger rate cases from the state courts. The freisrht and passenger rate cases in the state courts were instituted by Mr. Hadlev for the purpose of securing injunctions requiring the railroads to comply with the laws. The with drawal of the freight case means that the freight rate law will be fought out in the federal court. The continuation of the passenger rate case in the state courts signifies that Mr. Hadley still thinks that the question of Jurisdiction is not settled. Mr. Hadlev explained that, as tne maximum freight rate -case has been In progress in the Tederai court, tne wlthdrawel of the proceedings in the state courts will expedite the litigation. The freight rate controversy is now in the federal court solely. The attorney eeneral expressed sat isfaction with the arrangement to test the 2-cent per mile passenger rate. He was confident, he said, that the low rate will increase travel and win neip, rather than injure, the railroads. DENATURED AliCOHOL RATES.

Formal complaint has been drafted and is ready for signature and forwarding to the interstate commerce commis ion by the Oregon railroad commls- ion against the Chicago Alton Chicago Northwestern, Chicago, Great Western.

"As President Harmon was author ized yesterday, we are ready to do business. The general plan was worked out months ago, and while some minor details may be rear ranged, we are ready to start con demnation proceedings for the prop erty desired, immediately. "As for the story printed in the Chi cago newspapers, and I presume tele graphed to Kansas, that the rail roads would have to postpone action indefinitely because of the lack of necessary funds and the uncertain condition of the money market, that is O, well. Had not the financial plans for the new project been worked out to our satisfaction we would not be holding meetings taking such im portant action as to definitely approve the course of President Harmon in accepting on behalf of the railroad companies the new ordinance just passed by the Kansas City aldermen." TRANSCONTINENTAL RATES. New Be and Revised Tariffs Will Strictly Up-to-Date. Transcontinental roads have so far revised their freight tariffs that they are about ready for publication, at least so far as California rates are concerned. Rates to and from North Pacific coast points, including Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, are not ready, as it has not been decided just how to carry rates to Intermediate points be tween St. Paul and the Pacific coast states. Some of the members are ad vocating using a separate tariff. Nelth er has a full agreement been reached on commodity. As soon as the new tariffs are pub llshed the California roads claim they will have the most up-to-date set of rates in existence. In their compilation the greatest care has been taken to comply strictly with all the new regu latlons of the interstate commerce com mission. The tariffs cover rates from every point east of the Rocky Mountains to every point in California. They con tain a list of points on all roads to and from which the tariffs apply, and the rate basis each point takes, with the railroad on which the point is lo cated, so that to find a rate from any eastern point to California it is only necessary to look up that point in tne list, and reference will there be found to the rate that point takes. The tariffs are so arranged tnat any shipper may look up any rate he wants and inform himself regarding it with out anv reference whatever to the oi- flcials of the railroad. This is one of the new requirements of the interstate commerce commission. The Hepburn act requires every shipper to be sure the rate he accepts is tne legal one ana holds him equally responsible with the railroad. This joint responsibility is one of the things shippers are kicking aealnst vigorously at the present mo mpnt. but it would be impossible to carry out the underlying principle of the Hepburn act without insisting on It.

The jingoes who would force the United States and Japan Into a war would be the last to enlist if It came to actual fighting. There ought to be a fine lot of open ings in the drug store business over at Leavenworth unless those joint loca tions have already been occupied. Hereafter when some inquiring New Vnrk asks Richard Croker "where he got It," Mr. Croker can reply that he got a great deal of it at the English derby. A safe and sane Fourth of July does not appear to win much faster than did one Alton G. Parker when he ran for president as a safe and sane can didate. When you see something about "Uncle Sam" In the newspapers these days the chances are about even be tween Its being about the country and the oil company. Just now It looks as though there may be a foot race next year between the Kansas Democrats and Republi cans to see which shall file on the Square Deal platform first. As we understand it, Judge Mc Pherson decided to let the railroads really find out whether a two-cent fare is unremunerative before having them come into court to prove it. While Secretary Taft was able to iron out momentous differences be tween conflicting forces In the Philip pines, he did not undertake to settle the Sunday opening row at the Ottawa Chautauqua. Judging from the way the corpora tion organs are praising Governor Hughes for vetoing the two-cent fare bill in New York, they are liable to support him for president yet, if they cannot beat Taft with anyone else. Ordinarily a man Is permitted to buy what he pleases with his money, so long as he has the price, but some San Francisco corporation magnates are about to learn that they should not go around buying city officials. Texas not only tried to shove its green bus oft on to Kansas, but it even got Ohio to fasten the blame for the bug on to us by calling It "the Kansas green bug." We are a long-suffering people, Texas, but don't tempt us too far. How would it do for the state bank commissioner and the controller of the currency to call for a bank statement on March 1 next year, just to see what proportion of the bank deposits A Kansas escape taxation under the new law? The Ottawa Herald speaks of "the news that Mayor Schmltz has been proven guilty of grafting." But that wasn't news. Schmltz was proven guilty a good while ago. It was the fact that the jury said so that was news.

SWOLLEN FORTUNES. In response to a letter from one of Its readers at Wamego, Kan., the Chicago Inter-Ocean defends Its attack oh President Roosevelt's recommendation of an inheritance tax as a means of keeping down swollen fortunes. "What," It asks, "does Mr. Roosevelt mean by 'swollen fortunes'? What for tune is so 'swollen' as to be a menace to the state, demanding that special measures be taken to seize it?" And then it argues that Mr. Roosevelt's for tune appears as swollen to the poor man as that of the multl-mllllonalre appears to Mr. Roosevelt. It is true that the' "swollenness" of fortunes is relative. If everybody had at least a million dollars a hundred times that amount would not seem ex cessive. But when multitudes have practically nothing, a fortune of a hun dren million in the possession of one In dividual, to which millions more are added every year, seems upjust. The possessor ef it cannot use a tenth of It for himself or his family, and too fre quently its tremendous power is used simply and solely to pile up other use less millions, and for the oppression of poorer people. What is the use of allowing conditions that encourage the accumulation of such fortunes Why not remove the in centive for the piling up of excessive wealth? If the millionaire knew that the most of his gains above a certain point would revert to the people through the gov ernment at his death, the human na ture in him would lead him to dissemin ate the excess according to his own views as it accumulated. And even if he were so foolish as to pile up such tre- mendous wealth as John D. Rockefeller possesses, the excess would eventually revert to the people, from whom it was taken. Why would not that be just? The power to define a swollen, fortune rests in congress. Congress can fix the lines at which inheritances may be tax ed, and the percentages that they shall be taxed. These lines might vary as the years go by. A swollen fortune of fifty years ago or even thirty would not be considered excessive today. SOME LITERATURE. It Is evident that northern Kansas is the abiding place of "some mute, in glorious Milton," similar, perhaps, to the one referred to by the late Mr. Gray in his Justly celebrated "Elegy.' Not altogether mute, either, is this modern Milton, for had he been these lines would not have been penned. In a late issue of the local paper in his locality he gives voice to a poem enti tled "Slander." It Is unsigned and thus the author thereof remains in glorious. With the' true author's instinct, the writer begins this poetic gem in a way to immediately command the reader's attention and compel him to read fur ther. That Is the very essence of authorship. At the same time the op ening stanza contains a moral warning which runs through the entire poem of eleven verses. It reads: Have you heard the wicked slander If not Us just as well. The one who started it had better Repent or they win go to neu. In an outburst of horror at the wickedness of it, the author continues: Cruel gossip, wicked slander. Causing Slights we know not why Now we learn some one has told. A very wicked lie. Then follows one immediate result of this cruel story: My sister's girl came out to see me Tntpnriinz a while to stay. But she heard of the cruel slander And it, sent the girl away. Alas, that things should be as they are! Why could tney not nave oeen different? "Of all sad words," etc. The same poetic sentiment which welled up In Whittier's breast as he. penned the Immortal lay of "Maud Muller" is ap parently present in this: Why did not the dear girl tell me Uncle you should know. There are those who talk about you So back to Scandia 1 must go. Again some terrible results of the slander are given: have been a happy Christian Sweet nace once reigned within Slander made me very angry And caused me to s:n. God knows the wicked slander. Has nearly coat my lire. Wicked falsehoods, told to hinder Me from getting a good wire. For fear that some may ascribe wrong motives to the author he has tens to say: This Is not for an advertisement. Plea.se do not take it that way Still I hope that some one will read It And be careful what tney say. have got a letter now. To prove the slander Is not true Should I get an affidavit. For fear the letter will not ao. Having served notice that documen tary evidence concerning the matter is in existence, the warning to gossips in general is continued: We do not wish to harm no one Still people should control The tongue the unruly member Before the devil gets the soul. We are trying to forgive. But why did any one talk thus And then say do not tell him Or he will make an off ul fuss. It Is evident that the writer does not wish to do anything "offul" unless the composition of this poem could be thus described but the closing stanza dis closes that he is still in an uncertain state of mind concerning his course, although very certain as to others: To avoid a fuss should we keen still And let this matter drop, I hardly know but I know. Such talk had better stop. Such a production as this should cer tainly thwart the unworthy object of the gossips, as disclosed In the last line of the sixth stanza, and all those who have felt the fires that burn In the poet's soul will hope that this poet has so ridden his Pegasus as to at tain that end. Del Valentine makes this observa tion In the Clay Center Times, calling special attention to wasted oppor tunities: "Attorney General Jackson is receiving newspaper congratula- tions from all over the state touching the handling of the brewery cases' and the late sweeping decision of the su preme court which upholds him in every contention. Jackson will; soon be in the same class with Hadley of Missouri and other wide awake law yers who do not 'shirk responsibility but.reading the law, understand; understanding-the law, enforce it.

"Crawdads," It says, "have punched holes in the bottoms of tne lakes in the city park there and let all the water out. Why haven't the small boys caught all the craw dads, long ago?" Here is skepticism for vou: Conrad Voelker, the cabbage king, says the Atchison Globe, does not believe there is such a thing as a cabbage snake. He believes those things people call cabbage snakes are horse halra which get into the cabbage when the farmers cultivate it with team cultivators. When horse hair is put in water, it acts as though it were alive; when the horse hair gets into the cabbage, the moisture from the plant causes the hair to become alive. We' wonder if President Roosevelt, who la in the habit of striking at naturalists, will take up an argument with Mr. Voelker on the cabbage snake. Troy Chief: Tom Loyd who lives on the south side of the square, has number of bull snakes which he has made pets of. He handles them with out fear and they seem to know him and show no disposition to harm him Last Sunday he had one of them, which was over five feet long, with him on the street and gave several per sons quite a scare. No one objects to Tom having as many pet snakes as he wants, provided he keeps them where they will not scare people who are not partial to that kind of a pet. Ever since a serpent got into the Garden of Eden and raised cam, most men have an antipathy to snakes of all kinds and there is a general desire to destroy them wherever found. If the marshal had come along while Tom was exhib itlng his let, there would have been a snake killing time right there. Tom had better keep his snakes under his belt, or In some other place of conceal ment, hereafter, as several people who are mortally afraid of them have regis tered a kick. GLOBE SIGHTS.

His pessimistic wail is equivalent to this: The gov ernment has ruined the credit of the railroads, hence the railroads can not obtain money to enlarge their facili ties, the country's products can not be handled, the government may be com pelled to advance money to the rail roads, this may lead to government ownership, and, finally, government ownership would mark the end of .the republic, m other words, unless tne railroads are allowed to run things in their own way, everything must go to smash. The government must con tinue to grant the right of eminent do main to transportation companies, and allow' those companies to fleece the people without restraint, else there can be no extension of railroad facili ties. The railroads can not be con structed and operated on a basis of common equity that equity that pro tects the right of both parties to a contract to have a say In the terms of the contract. You can see the govern ment rushing to the aid of railroads while the railroads are paying divi dends on billions of watered stock. Kansas City Star. THE LADY BURGLAR.

"Although thousands of telegraph operators have been forced out of the profession through paralysis of their hands and fingers in the manipulation of the Morse key, it is only within the past two years that improvements in this, orude- instrument have begun to be made." So writes L. A- Hoskins in the Technical World Magazine for July. "Dynamos have: been substituted in place of the old chemical batteries in the making of the telegraphic currents, and with the coming of dynamos a greater study of mechanics on the part of telegraphers who were ambitious to become chiefs of staff. "With this study of mechanics came a realization of the waste of energy in the manipulation of the old fashioned Morse lever key. It was found that two motions of the hand were requir ed to make the single dot or the single dash and that the Morse letters, hav ing an average of four dot and dash characters, required an average of eight movements of the hand and arm in their formation. A rapid sender a sender who could average as good as thirty words per minute It was found, was requir ed to move his army up and down at the rate of 1,200 to 1.500 times per minute. Many men were compelled to continue this rapid springlike move ment Cor many hours at a stretch and when the figures were considered. electricians marvelled that the arms of fine operators held out as long as they did. Many of the first class men have been known to maintain a speed of fifty word3j minute for several consecutive hours. This means that they operated their arms like delicate ly poised springs at the rate of be tween 2,200 and 2,600 vibrations per minute, or nearly forty strokes in a single second. "Telegraphers throughout the coun try recognized the advantages of a de vice that eliminated the making of dots by hand. The rise of automatic sending machines was, therefore, rapid and the result has been that dozens of these inventions now are on the mar ket, all utilizing the old mechanical principle of a vibrator In some form or another." The Wily Arab of Tripoli. Down the street the faint intermit tent tinkling of a bell was heard. Burr-ro!" (Get out!) in warning rasped the high-pitched voice of a camel-driv er. I dodged quickly Into the shop of a silversmith and watched four lumber ing camels squdge softly by. To pre vent those behind the driver from be ing stolen, the halter rope of each Is tied to the tail of the one ahead, and on the tail of the last camel as he flips and flaps it from side to side tinkles a bell. A wily one of the Faithful, not being rich in this world's goods, turned co vetous eyes on a nomadic brother who passed through the town leading a string of six camels. "Allah! Allah ursel el Allah! could not the brother spare one of his jimal?" (camels). So, dusting the flies from his eyes and hood ing himself with his barracan he stealthily followed. He was aware that near the New Gate the street narowed and made a double turn. No sooner had the driver and head camel rounded the first corner than the wily one seized the bell attached to the hindmost camel. With a stroke of his knife he severed it from the tail of the animal, and keep ing it tinkling, he quickly fastened it to the tail of the next, cut loose the last beast, and "Allah wills" made off with his loot.

When this sort Of thing had pro ceeded further than counsel wished, he addressed his honor in this wise: "If you honor please, I am a good citizen, and as such, intend to obey the orders of the honorable court In this, as in all other instances. Now, your honor, it so happens that I have not about me the sum of $30, for which I have been mulcted for contempt. Therefore, I shall be compelled to borrow such sum from some friend; and I see no one present whose friend ship I have enjoyed so much as your honor's. So I make no .hesitation in approaching your honor for a loan to square the fine assessed against me." With Just the faintest smile about his lips, his honor looked first at counsel and then at the clerk. "Clerk," said he at last, "remit Mr. Mitchell's fines. The state Is better I able than I Weekly. to lose $30." Harper's I 1 THE EVENING STORY The Mouths of Babes. -(By Troy Allison.) "I'd like to come over there," said a small feminine voice somewhere from the neighborhood of the hedge row. Drayton, sitting on his garden bench with a newspaper and a cigar, turned toward the hedge that separated the two gardens, and located his visitor. She was evidently standing on some thing high enough to enable her to overlook the adjoining territory. Drayton went over to the hedge and looked down into some exceedingly blue eyes, surrounded by a fluff of yellow hair, surmounted by a still flur iier blue bow. "Hello!" he said, looking down from his six-foot height. "Where did you come from?" "I've been here often and peeped through," she confided. "Lift me over," she commanded in the tone of one ac customed to be obeyed, holding out her arms. He lifted her over to his side of the hedge and she ran directly to his rustic seat. "I'm not prepared to entertain la dies." He stood with his. hands in his pockets, and smiled into her upturned face. "What can I offer you, madam?" "I'll take chocolate, please." She settled her skirts over her chubby lit tle legs and smiled back ingratiating ly. Drayton looked dubious. "Er I'm sorry to say the chocolate Is all out wouldn't grapes do," he suggested. "Yes I dess dwapes will do very nicely, thank you," and Drayton imagined she was probably giving a very good imitation of her mother's manner. When he returned from the house with a bunch of grapes and a huge peach, he found that she had filled her lap with his choicest roses, and was hugging them to her face. "I'm doing to live here always I'm doing to marry you," she announced. Drayton, thirty-six and a bachelor. actually felt his face turn red. "Er when?" he asked feebly. "Just as soon as you can det the be dagement ring." "Of course of course anything you say. But what might be the name of my future wife?" "Louise it's mamma's name. too. "It would be lovely to have a wife named Louise, but you wouldn't like my house, little girl, u s full of pipe and things. "I could stay out in the dargen with the roses and you could bring an um brella and hold it over me when it rained," she suggested resourcefully "That would certainly be unique. I see you would be able to plan things like a real housewife should. But d you think you could stand the pipes? "You could keep all your pipes In one room and I could have a little blue and white room and not have any pipes, couldn't I I never have any pipes In my room." "That's the scheme we'll plan that blue and white room right away," he agreed heartily His housekeeper was surprised when the paperhangers came next day and did the south room In blue. She was still more surprised when the van drove up with all the furnishings for a dainty little bedroom. She felt hurt considering how long she had been in his service. It was a special slight fo Drayton not to tell her, first of all that he intended to be married. But Drayton, following a whim, was fitting up the room according to the child's fancy. Late one afternoon he strolled down the garden path, and found little Louise waiting for him to lift her over the hedge. "Your blue room Is all finished, lit tie wife," he said, tossing her In the air, to her great delight. "It's ready for you to look at. I told the house keeper a young lady was going to visit her this afternon." "Are there blue roses on the wall?" she asked eagerly. "Bushels of them and little white frilly curtains, and a dear little white bed and fairy tale pictures on the wall." "Oo 00 but I certainly do love you." she clung to his fingers as they walked towards tre house. "Did you det the Sleeping Beauty picture?" "Yes and Princess Goldilocks It's a grand room, all right." "Well I'll marry you the first thing tomorrow, and nurse can send over all my dolls and things. "Isn't this rather sudden? Perhaps vour mother would prefer your wait ing until you are a week or so older?" "No, Indeed," airily. "Mamma lets me do anything I want that Is most anything." "But she'll miss you and your papa will miss you. "Oh! didn't you know? I haven't had any favver for a long time most 'leven years, nearly." Drayton took in the five-year-old dignity of her in an amused glance "But I'm doing to bring her over here to live, too and nurse, and dog gie and my canary, and my white kit ty." "Jove! I'll have to add a wing to the house, sure as we re living! I'm afraid little one, we'll have to postpone our marriage until I can have a few more rooms built. You'll not mind, will you, sweetheart? "Not If you bring me some more caramels like the ones you brought me yesterday, seriously. She was silent a moment, evidently evolving a new thought. "I have such a lovely plan." she gurgled. "I've decided not to be your wife, I'd rather have a favver, It's been such a long time since I had any fav ver. Drayton caught her up In his arms. "Sweetheart you are the dearest little girl a father ever had," and his eyes were moist. When the room had been admired, and the picture of Princess Goldilocks kissed fervently, and the housekeeper had given her a cream puff, they went back to the garden. A slender girl in the other garden ran to the dividing hedge. "O Louise, mamma has been so very uneasy about you! Where have you been, dearie?" "I'm afraid it's my fault," Drayton said contritely. "I took her to look at some pictures, and we forgot the time." The child held on to his fingers im pulsively. "Oh mamma, this is my new papa. You are going to marry him at once and we are doing to live in his house. You know you said his garden was ever so much prettier than ours." The woman's face, vivid crimson, looked Into the embarrassed face of her neighbor. Finally a twinkle came Into her eyes, and a dimple wavered near the corner of her mouth. He saw the twinkle and thought It and the dimple the most fascinating combination he had ever seen. "I'd be glad to come over and ar range the details with you at your ear liest convenience." he suggested auda ciously. "Mamma do marrv him. please please do!" begged the child. "Mam- ma. he'll bring you lovely caramels." "Will you really?" the mother! laughed. "Pounds of "em!" emphatically.' "May I come over soon and get ac quainted?" he begged. She looked at his well-cut features and saw the frank admiration in his eyes. "I suppose it's proper Mr. Drayton you see I know your sister." "Then I'm coming over this even- ing and sit on your front porch. If :f you know my sister you'd be greatly lacking in hospitality if you didn't let me call." "I would hate to seem Inhospit able, there was a note of shyness In her voice. He reached over the hedge and put the child in her mother's arms. Sha put her plump little arms around his! neck in an overflow of affection. "Good by, favver," she said. "Good by, baby," he called after her, and as the mother went toward the house in the gathering twilight she was suddenly conscious of the loveli ness of the rose garden, and the scent of the roses in the air, and that in her heart there was a tiny new feeling, warm and tender.

A fellow sometimes feels that the white man's burden is a toss-up be tween taxes and life Insurance. That the average woman doesn't know her own mind Is shown by the way it keeps her guessing. Some people take so much interest In other people's affairs that they have very little time for their own. Blobbs "I can't possdbly lose on the races today. ssiodds -cjot a sure thing, eh?" Blobbs "Yes; I'm not go ing to make a bet." Nell "They say her birth Is shroud ed in mystery." Belle "Yes; she was born In a New York apartment house where were rules against children." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. It isn't easy to get a Job on Easy street. The thoughts of a music composer should be noteworthy. When the quiet man does make a I noise in tho world it counts. The average man's politics was an inheritance from his father. It takes as little to make some men laugh as it does to worry others. Our Idsa of a brave woman Is one who isn't afraid to talk back to the cook. It's easy for one man to get rich quick if ho meets a lot of others who want to. After one girl has broken a man's heart some other girl comes along and mends it. A wise man never makes a business" of writing poetry unless he can convert It into money. If there Is one thing we dislike mora than another it is to hear a man boast of what he is going to do. It's as difficult to start a modest man talking about himself as it Is to stop him after he once gets started. If a theatrical performance doesn't make a woman laugh or cry she thinks she isn't getting her money's worth. When a man finally does graduate from the school of experience the flow ers he receives are hauled to their des Unatlon by the undertaker. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Virtue is its own reward because not body else will give any. A woman's idea of political ambition is how you would have to dress for It. Marrying a woman Is a very useful thing to teach you how you don't un derstand her. A man would have to have a lot of brains not to try to make people think he had more. It takes a girl to pretend she think you are saying your catechism when you are Kissing her. 0 .J ,1 1 J H A t 1 J

5 REALROOFGARDEN Topeka Is to Hare One of Its Own. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAXr FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1907. Will Occupy Top of National Hotel Building. PLANS BEING MADE. Include Rebuilding of the En tire Block. Changes Will Cost Many Thous ands of Dollars. A real roof garden with all the con comitants of height, palms, cool breezes to-blow against the cheeks of the languid, and probably even the pres ence of orchestral music are within re alization cf Topeka when the National hotel building is reconstructed. The Knights and Ladies of Security, owners of the National hotel building have given Chandler Nielson, archi tects, carte blanche in the reconstruc tion of that hostelry. The improvements when completed will bring about such a marked change that the building will be practically to all purposes entirely new. The rear extension of three stories will be torn out and rebuilt entirely. At first it was simply contemplated to all on three more floors, bringing it up to a full six stories. This with another floor on the main building would give the whole building six stories, making It one of the largest buildings in the city. George Wilmarth. fire marshal, after spending several days of inspec tion recommended that the three story extension on West Seventh street be entirely torn down and reconstructed. This recommendation will be follow ed out. The first story will be constructed of one and the remaining five stories of pressed brick in conformity with the main portion of the building; a new cornice of terra cotta will add much to the attractiveness of the structure and give it a finished appearance such as it does not now possess. Alterations of a most elaborate na ture will take place on the interior. In the basement a new dining room for the cafe which is run in connection with the hotel will be one of the no ticeable features. On the first floor the lobby will be decorated In relief, the partition wall between the bank and the hotel lobby will be torn out and rebuilt, the elevator changed from its present location and placed over back of the place now occupied by the clerk and cashier's desks. Three private dining rooms and la dies' parlor, together with a main din ing room and kitchen will occupy the remaining portion of the first floor. At present the dining room and kitchen are on the third floor. The dining room will be given an elaborate decorative treatment. Something distinctively new In the way of a balcony will form a portion of the first floor reconstruction. A stairway will lead to the west of the elevator shaft to two private balconied dining rooms which overhang the main dining room and will also lead .to a waiting room which will overhang the lobby. A swell will be built for a major part of the length of the dining room pro jecting our on Seventh street and flood the dining room with light. Ample and numerous sample rooms, with reconstructed airy bed rooms fur nished with hot and cold water for ev ery room of the 140 which will form the capacity of the new hotel are other additional features which recommend themselves. The sixth floor will be largely taken up with sample rooms and an alcove sleeping room and bath. A new refrigeration plant will be in stalled making it possible for the notei management to manuracture us own in amsle Quantities and will also fur nish the basis of an artificial cooling system for maintaining the dining room at a cool temperature notwithstanding the most sultry weather conditions without. Fire escapes, not ladders but the ap proved stairway construction will make the National hotel as safe as It is possible to make It. Contracts for the work will probably be let within the next few days, just as soon as the plaDS and details of the improvements can be completed by the architects. No estimate is given as to the cost, though it will run well up in to the thousands. TRAMPS WRECK A TRAIX.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1807. IWflY GROWING GIRLS NEED A SAFE TONIC 'tDr. Williams Pink Pilis Particu larly Adapted to their Condi tion, Free From Opiates or Harmful Drugs and High ly Recommended by Those Who Have Tried Them. Growing girls who show weariness, want of strength, languor, are pale and perhaps short of breath, need a tonic. Not aU tonics are suited for their use at this critical time in their lives but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are. Taken when the girl is developing Into the woman they insure, as far as medicine can, the full flower of wo ir.anhood, robust, strong and healthy. Neglect of the health at this time means a life of misery and is often fol lowed by a short, dry cough which is the forerunner of consumption. Miss Louise AVestphal. of 233 Lo cust street, Dubuque, Iowa, says: "A few years ago I was in a very weak ened condition, one that is common to many growing girls. I was nervous most of the time, lost weight, had a poor complexion and no appetite. I was completely run down and had no ambition at all. For months I was urder a doctor's care but nothing helped me. My friends thought I was going into consumption and as my father died of that disease there seemed reason for the belief. "I had been pick about a year when Dr. Williams" Pink Pills were recom mended to me by a friend who knew of another girl who had been cured by them of a trouble similar to mine. After takinar three boxes I obtained relief and several more cured me. The sallow complexion disappeared. I had a good appetite once more and am still strong and healthy in every way. I think it only proper to make this tat?mei:t for the benefit of those who suffer because they do not know the real value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These pills are peculiarly adapted for diseases due ot impure blood and shattered nerves. They are invalua ble In anasmia, rheumatism, after effects of the grip and fevers and in tick headaches, dizziness, nervousness and neuralgia. A valuable booklet en titled "Plain Talks to Women" will be sent free. In a sealed envelope, upon request, to any romsn interested. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 50 cents per box. six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine. Company. Schenectady, N. T. DES MOINES PLAN WINS Government by Commission Adopted by Overwhelming Majority. Des Moines. June 21. By an over whelming majority the' citizens of Des Moines adopted what is known the Des Moines plan cf government, a mod ification of the commission form of government adopted some years ago in Galveston, Texas. The new plan pro vides for an elimination of the ward 6jstem and the election by the city as a whole of five commissioners, all of whom shall give their entire time to city affairs, one as mayor and the oth er four as head3 of departments. All other officers are made appointive. EXD OF THE OMNIBUS. The Business In Topeka Has Not Been Profitable. After fighting feebly for existence for the past ten years the omnibus business in Topeka is about to give up the ghost. There is no money in running an omnibus, the transfer men say, tnd they will retire from the field, and leave the business to the street cars and carriages. 1 here are very few people who care to pay 25 cents to ride in an omnibus as long as the street cars are running, and nearly everybody who comes in the early morning trains prefers to take a carriage. The teking off of the fast mail on the Santa Fe cut down on the possible sources of Income for the omnibus men. A good share of their business consisted of picking up passengers for this train in Topeka. and hauling them to the depot at 3 o'clock in the morning. A1EN OF AFFAIRS Need Proper rood to Supply Uie Brain A medical journal comments on the restless brain worker of our large cities and refers to the fact that he thinks he knows as much about the needs of the brain, when he is tired and shows brain fag, as a trained practitioner. He is inclined to spur up the tired organs by some stimulant or perhaps quiet his complaints with some narco tic and this plan goes on until sudden ly be collapses, for brain fag is a sure sign that tho elements that compose the brain are being more rapidly used up than replaced by the food. There is really a choice of but two pathways for an active brain worker a man of affairs when he shows symptoms of breaking down. Either he must quit work or he must have food that will replace the structure of brain and nerve centres as rapidly as they are used up each day. Chemical analysis of the particles thrown out through the pores of the body shows that after continued brain work, a large portion of .excreta con tains phosphate of potash. It is known that when this element is furnished by the food in proper quantities, the sys tem unites it with albumen and from that compound makes the gray mat ter that fills the nerve centres and the brain. This is an especial feature of the food known as drape-Nuts, a deli cious, ready-cooked and predigested breakfast food. A definite and well understood gain In brain power and physical strength will set in after Grape-Nuts has been used eight or ten days, and sustained and continued brain work can be car ried on if a reliance is placed upon this food In -connection with the or dinary food of the day.

There was no advance in wages in the sheet and tin mills of the country and no strike will fellow the refusal of the manufacturers to concede the increase from 6 to 16 per cent demanded at the annual convention of tho Amalga mated association in Toledo last month. Negotiations for the adoption of this scale have been carried on all week in this city between representa tives of the Amalgamated association of iron, steel and tin workers and the officers of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company and as a result of the conferences last year's scale will again obtain. After discussing the demands thor oughly President C. W. Bray of the American Sheet and Tin Plate com pany informed the workers" commit tee that tha present conditions of the tin market would not justify an ad vance and if it was insisted upon the plants would close down or be operat ed by nonunion men. The decision to accept last year's scale affects all the sheet and tin workers in the country, about 15,000 men, as the other manu facturers ucc-spt whatever settlement is made at this conference. GUERILLA WARFARE. Plan of tho Union of Commercial Telegraphers Outlined. San Francisco, Cal., June 21. Presi dent Samuel Small, of the Commercial Telegraphers' union, after a meeting of the local union last night, said: "Our plans are fully prepared and we will carry the fight to the halls of con gress before we are through. We do not intend to declare a general strike throughout the country, but we will carry on a guerilla warfare which will continue until we secure Justice and consideration. We will call a series of local strikes In the various cities of the country which will paralyze traffic. We intend to continue this fight until con gress meets when we propose to place the whole matter In the hands of tho lawmakers." It was announced last nieht that President Small stated that today the tcregrapn companies must make defin ite announcement of their decision. DOLCETTE CO. IS CHARTERED.

The council of administration of the Kansas Grand Army of the Republic has elected the following executive committee, which will handle all the business of the council with the ex ceptions of matters of great impor tance: A. R. Campbell of Hutchin son; W. A. Cormany of Fort Scott; Charles Harris of Emporia. It was also decided by the council of administration to use some of the $1,000 a year appropriated by the state for the "support of the museum" in the payment of salaries of officers. This fund is expended on vouchers ap proved by the executive committee of council above named.- There has been some question as to the authority of the council to use this fund of $1,000 for the payment of salaries of its offi cers. The bill making the appropria tion says the money is "to pay for storing and properly displaying such records, flags, banners and mementoes of the service of individuals and organ izations who fought in the late war of the rebellion, and of other individuals and military organizations as have now or may hereafter come into the possession of the Grand Army of the Republic, department of Kansas, or ?vhich shall, from time to time, come nto the possession of the Grand Army museum, and for the publication of the reports of the department com mander to the governor."

r t I Very Few Men Care to pay $25, $28 or $M for an outing suit just coat and trousers for summer wear. In fact there are but few manufacturers who offer suits intended to retail above fifteen dollars, and only about a year ago the recognized clothes makers of Chicago in one of their display advertisements complained that their retail customers over the country were trying to "do" the public by taking suits which wholesale at $10 to $10.50 and advertising and selling them at $18, $20 and $22.50. This year the situation, instead of being improved, is even more strained and retailers, each trying to out do the other fellow in price reductions, are advertising the same makes of suits as worth $25, $28 and $30. How can a suit costing $10 to $10.50 wholesale be a big bargain reduced from $28 or $30 to $18 or $20 special? Think about it, and see the Serges, Cheviots and Worsteds we are showing at $15. Watch Our Business Methods Win. OUT ATSTAHLS Twenty-Fourth Annual Picnic Is Held. Several Thousand People on the Grounds. HOW IT ALL STARTED Organized to Further Prohibi tion 28 Years Ago. One Hundred Topeka People Among the Guests. X 2 Watch Us Grow. Sl z HONOR FOR PAT WALSH. 'eteran Santa Fe Man Made President of Baggagemen's Association. Patrick Walsh, who has been general hassage agent for the Santa Fe since 1872, was elected president of the Amer ican General Baggage Agents' Associa tion, which is now in session at Port land, Maine. The association at the present meeting is celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of Its organi sation. Mr. Walsh was a charter mem ber of the organization and is one of the few of the older men who are still left in the association. This is a large or ganization being composed of general baggage agents of the different roads of the country which are almost number less. Mr. Walsh has for the past ten years been chairman of the Western Association of General Baggage agents which organization is composed of gen eral baggage agents of all lines west of Chicago and St. Louis. Mr. Walsh is sixty-four years of age having been born in Ireland in 1843. His parents moved to Canada when he was three years of age and two years later moved to the United States where he has since lived. From his home in Carbondale. Pa., he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1S62 and served with honor-in-this capacity until the close of the war. After the war he worked for the Delaware Hudson railroad at Carbondale for a year and then after succumbing to the "western fever" he came west as far as Missouri where he went to work for the Hannibal St. Joseph railroad. He worked as brakeman for a couple of years after which he entered the baggage depart ment and was appointed baggage agent at St. Joseph. In 1872 he was drafted by the Santa Fe and appointed to the posi tion of General Baggage Agent which he has held ever since. The Santa Fe was but three years old when he be- came a Vn It grow to its present great propor rfcns. Mr. Walsh has always been a IT The showers which were scattered about over this section of the state promiscuously yesterday may have had something to do with lessening the attendance at Stahl's picnic which for more than a quarter of a century has been the feature of the year In the southwest section of the county but at that there were between 3,500 and 4,000 people there. Yesterday's Dicnic was the twenty- eighth annual event of the kind which has been held In the grove west of the Stahl home in as many consecutive years and while not the largest was one or me most interesting of all. Early in the day farmers with their families began arriving at the grove ior tne event Is one of supreme im portance to the farmers in Wabaunsee, Osage and Shawnee counties. This locality is an esDeciallv netirh- I borly one and their gatherings at Lnrisimas time, a ourtn or July and other holidays are notable for the size and the good feeling which prevails. I Of all the gatherings of the year titani s picnic is tne one event looked forward to as the event of all events in southern Shawnee and Osage coun ties. There is an Interesting1 bit of his tory attached to the annual gathering which dates back more than half a I century when F. M. Stahl, the father of the organization, then a boy of 16, began work on a raw piece of land I which Is now a portion of the Stahl section one of the finest pieces of farm property in the southwestern portion of the county. Mr. Stahl's first realty holding In the county was the quarter section where the home is now located and I this was homesteaded by the present owner. By thrift and economy the three adjoining quarter sections were added to the holdings of Mr. Stahl un til he now owns a section in one body, In 1879 Mr. Stahl who had always been an advocate of prohibition con ceived the Idea of forming an organi zation of his farmer friends to aid the prohibitory movement which was then new and assist in having a pro hibitory constitutional amendment adopted. A meeting was called or a few of his neighbors and a picnic ar ranged for the following June to which all the farmers for miles around were invited. This was the first Stahl picnic ever held and the one yesterday was the twenty-eighth which has been held annually every since without a break. The movement was a success from the with seats which have done duty for years. Perhaps this structure should not be called a speaker's stand for It iras oeen provided with drop curtains, Jis, fiies, gasoline lights and other appliances which would entitle It to be known as a stage. At any rate here is where the cises of the day are held followed by a piiy wnicn commences just as soon as It Is dark enough for the gasoline lamp to become effective. On this stand dur ing the day drills are given, speeches made, songs sung and from its recesses Denow rorth the music of the band com posed of farmers' boys arrayed in their Sunday clothes In lieu of brass buttoned tinsel bedecked uniforms. Stahl's picnic is a sort of meeca to wnich the aspiring politicians make an annua pilgrimage and much medicine is made by the would be office holder and his farmer friends seated well back from the crowd on some rotten stump or lanen iree. Yesterday was no exception to the rule and at least two booms for political preferment were launched from anions tne ecnoes awakened by the notes of the band and the shrill whistle of the mer ry-go-round engine. CaDt Clad Hamilton who Is perfectly willing to serve as state senator to succeed J. B. Betts, confided this to some of his friends at the picnic yesterday, though no public announcement of the fact was made. It was whispered about that H. Ward Page who was in the aggregation would like to succeed R. F. Hayden as pro bate Judge, and he modestly admitted that such is his aspiration. J. F. Eby and J. A. Ramsey, who will be candidates for county superintendent to succeed John R. Carter, were on hand with pleasant smiles as was County Clerk Samuel Zimmerman who hopes that the people will see to It that he Is elected as his own successor for a second term. The program which commenced at 10 o'clock was Interrupted for a few mom ents shortly after the noon hour by a shower which lasted Just long enough to take the starch out of the white shirt waists and skirts. Lunch stands were scattered about the grounds for the benefit of those who did not bring baskets of food and they did a rushing business from noon until night.

Haskell, warden of the state penitentiary. Is In Topeka today. He has just returned from Minneapolis where he attended the National so ciety of charities and corrections, and visited the Stillwater penitentiary. Warden Haskell also brought the news that H. C. Bowman and Fred Knapp, of the Kansas board of control, had a narrow escape from being suf focated in a hotel fire. "We were all stopping at the same hotel in Minneapolis," said Mr. Haskell but Bowman and Knapp had back rooms, and Mrs. Haskell and I had a front room. It was about 5 o'clock in the morning when the fire broke out. The hotel employes came down the hall waking up the guests and telling them to get out, and I looked out and figured that we had plenty of time to dress. So we dressed and retreated In good order. But Bowman and Knapp were near where the fire started, and they had to be carried out of their rooms. They were about smothered and complained of severe pains In their lungs for some days. The fire originated in a grocery store next door. Asked concerning the binding twine situation. Mr. Haskell said: "We had orders for about 1,600,000 pounds, but owing to the crop shortage, causing cancellation of orders. I expect that we have not over 1.000,000 pounds still on the order books. I expect we will carry over half a million pounds. This is due In part to the fact that many more farmers will harvest with head ers this year. We would have sold half a million pounds of twine In Okla homa If the crop had not failed. We expect to sell some twine In Nebraska this year. I have sent out 20,000 cir culars to Mrmers advertising our twine." Our price is 8 cents in lots of over 6.000 pounds, and 9 cents in lots of less than 5,000 pounds. This is a little less than the prices of competi tors. The Minnesota penitentiary charges 8 cents a pound for Its twine. It has a plan by which it takes the notes of the farmers In payment for twine, a thing which we can not do. T expect It would be easier for us to sell If we could sell on notes. Many farmers prefer to pay the half cent txtra and buy twine from their dealer, rather than pay the cash. This is es pecially true of small buyers. "We have a better grade of binding twine on the market this year than we have ever manufactured before. The plant Is now shut down, and will not be opened again until September. If we had had a good crop this spring there would have been no difficulty In I disposing or tne twine." ROYCE SEES WAY OUT. Would Have Bailey as Compromise Candidate for Governor. John Q. Royce, state bank commis sioner, took with him to Ottawa and placed on exhibition there a boom for Willis J. Bailey as a compromise can didate for governor of Kansas.

The 40-acre grove in which the picnic was held yesterday was selected as ine an nual meeting place of the friends of nrohibition. The saplings oi nair century ago have grown to massive trees and the youths and maidens who attended the first meeting nave grown to gray headed men and women whose zeal in the cause which they espoused In their youth has grown with their years. In the aggregation yesterday were dozens of counles past tne meriaian of life who had attended tne "stani nicnic" as lovers years ago, just as their sons and daughters attended the meetings of the present day. as tney wandered through the deep woods beaten, and If the square dealers and machine crowd want to get together and agree upon a man, there is no one better than W. J. Bailey. I don't know whether Bailey would take It, but I am in favor of giving him a chance at It." There are three reasons behind Mr. Royce's move in bringing out Bailey as a candidate for the Republican nom ination for governor. Mr. Royce states mem a pout as ionows: T.ninteH out the exact spot where they had plighted their troth more than a quarter of a century ago. The grove is about 40 acres In size .111 -1 J nnri located on eimtr sine ui mo south branch of the Wakarusa creek n-ith hills arising abruptly HKe under sized mountains. Nature planted the trees which have grown old and e-narled but for some reason they seem just about the right distance apart for avlnrlnr hammocks and the low bouehs and verdant undergrowth has placed a natural screen about these incntlons which obscures the love malt ing maiden and her swain from the First To give the office to somebody I ,,rinni eves of the passing observers. for one term only, in order that gov- PerhaDS one hundred people from ciuui ttnu ciaiB viuL-rrs may au ue i Tnnr.lfn made tne drive or zu miles iti nominated for re-election at the same the nientc grounds yesterday for no time, and avoid a fight every two years. Second To give W. J. Bailey anoth er term as governor to which everybody believes him to be entitled. Third To reconcile the warring fac tions within the Republican party, and make them unite upon a candidate for governor as they have united upon a candidate lor the presidential nomina tion. "There were a number of well known men at Ottawa talking about the polit ical situation," said Mr. Royce today, "among them being Senator Fred Quincy of Salina, Senator Porter of Montgomery, and others, and Senator Quincy expressed the wish that the Republicans of the state might agree upon some good man for governor. Senator Porter said he had been hoping for the same sort of an outcome. I suggested that the opportunity was a fine one to give W. J. Bailey the sec ond term as governor which is due him, and the idea seems to be very well re ceived. It has been frequently sug gested that we should nominate some man for governor who would agree to take only one term. But you can't tie a man up to that sort of a pledge. If we want to nave an our state officers nominated the same year, we can do no better than to give the nomination to W. J. Bailey. Of course he would be In office for only one terms and I believe that he would be satisfactory as a com promise candidate. John j. Koyce was originally a friend of Bailey, and was opposed to any fight being made on him. He ad vised Hoch to stay out of. the scrim mage, and got Hoch to write the cele brated letter In which he declined to get into the race against Bailey. Mr. Royce claims that after that letter was written, some of Bailey's friends com menced to "bawl out" Hoch, and say he was afraid to run, and that this made Hoch mad and he had to go In and fight to pave his self respect. Royce supported Hoch, but he has never at tacked Bailey. other reason than that they have con tracted the habit which they are averse to break. Many of the journeys were made to the enchanting spot nl ti the nicnie was new witn tne sw-eetheartson horseback and some of th older members t'ftim that but one s-eed was necessary for tne couple. It is different now though the sons of the former farmer boys whisper the same old story into awaiting ears as seated In a rubber tired buggy they make the trip to and from the pic t,Ic grounds down shaded lanes, re turning by moonlight. There was a sprinkling of automobiles though in this as well as in nearly every other farming community the gasoline wagons are not looked upon with favor. Though an excellent programme hid been arranged for the older folks the rising generation was in no way neglected. A screeching, snorting little engine with a shrill whistle which awakened the echoes of the woods told only too plainly of a merry-go- round with its wooden horses and carved animals. It was around this device that the younger crowd con gregated awaiting their turn for a mad race around the circle astride their wooden steed. There was pink lemonade enough for a regiment and pop in all the colors of the rainbow; toy balloons, taffy In all degrees of softness, eat ings and drinkings or all kinds, both good and bad, but not a drop of in toxicating liquor of any kind. Down In p shaded corner a speller in front of a big tent announced the presence of a colony of Imported glass blowers, while diagonally across an improvised street glaring signs told of the cheap ness and beauty of photographs to be secured just inside. Just at the foot of a hill which avlses abruptly a speaker's stand has been erected, the Incline In front forming a natural amphitheater filled Garden City, Kan., June 21.-r"Big Bill" McArter, who brutally assaulted George B. Harrison, editor of the Ev ening Telegram on the 8th of the pres ent month, was fined J260 yesterday af ternoon by Judge W. H. Thompson of the district court. The case was tried before a jury which had but little trou ble in arriving at a verdict of guilty as- the assault was admitted. There has been considerable gamb ling going on In the city for some time and there have been a number of men hanging about whose sole oc cupation seems to be to inveigle the workers in the best fields into gamb ling games where they are robbed of their earnings. An attempt has been made to break up this gang from time to time but without success. Several weeks ago a young man of good standing in the community sat in one of these games and lost all of his money and then went out and rais ed money on a team of horses that did not belong to him. This he lost. In all about $200. He then took a dose of poison intending to commit suicide but was saved by the fact that he took an overdose -and 'ta prompt arrival -of a doctor. In handling the case for his paper Mr. Harrison referred to the gambling which has been going on about the city and mentioned several of the parties who have been engaged In the practice. McArter was one of the parties re ferred to and the assault followed. McArter has been in jail since the assault, being unable to give bond and the presumption Is that he will be compelled to lay out the time in the county jail. In the meantime there has been an exodus of gamblers and others are tak ing an enforced vacation. The city of ficials have decided to break up the gang which has existed in the city for years, many of them being boys who have heen raised here, and the action of Judge Thompson in assessing a $250 fine meets the approval or an except ing the gamblers themselves and their friends.

"We have been going ovef this for about four weeks row and from what we can determine about 1,090 yards of extra work which was hever put down was allowed con tractors last yea is It has been getting worse and worse from one year to the .'ext seemingly. Starting in with 1901 everything appears to be correct and 'from that date down to l90t the extra 'xrork increased.' said Mr, Drennlng. The city engineer In preparing estl- mates for paving, first prepares his plans, snowing tne aimensions, tiav fng this he computes the yardage from -the set of plans and bases the estimate upon the yardage. The contractor than ftuhmtts a bid based on the estl i mate. The contractor upon securing 'his contract commences paving. The nmount of the paving Is measured as the work progresses and upon the completion of the contract. The actual yardage often varies considerably from th estimate because of changes in plans and also in variation of actual conditions. When the plans are changed the ad rfttlonal paving If paid for under the 'head of extra work. The claim of graft Is based on the llast two conditions on a variation In ithe actual measurements and extra work.

Instances where excessive yardage Is purposed to exist are: 150 square yards at Lane and Eighth, 410 square yards at Twelfth and Clay. It Is claimed also that Western ave nue paving shows evidences of juggling. The paving on West Tenth avenue was checked up and found correct. The Intersection of Seventh and Jef ferson streets. is another place cited for irregularities. JUSTICE BREWER IS 70. Ho Celebrates Birthday Anniversary With a Family Dinner. Washington, June 21.

Lbor Delegates Say Boise Trial Has Cemented Bonds of Union. Denver. June 21. Duncan McDon old and Frank Farrington, messen gers from the United Mine Workers of Illinois, addressed the convention of the Western Federation of Miners to day. The opinion expressed by Mr. McDonald that the arraignment of the federation officials at Boise had done more to consolidate and organize the wage workers of the country than any combination of circumstances in times past was applauded. He stated that labor unions should establish great dallv papers and that unfair reports of the Boise trial will probably result In three Chicago papers being placed on the unfair list. A vote of thanks was given tho visitors by the conven tion. Injunction Suits Filed. Petitions for injunctions have been filed In district court against the prop erty of Robert Kneisler. on East First street, and Archie Bailey and Benja min Jordan on West B street In North Topeka. Jordan and Bailey are old of fenders, and Kneisler was recently ar rested and convicted In police court. The petitions were filed by County At torney J. J. Schenck. and are the first Injunctions of the kind to be asked for under this administration. UP TO VAN HORN. 'Continued from Page One.) While standing In front of the barber shop and this was about 7:30 o'clock In the morning he saw his hack at the watering trough north of the Union Pacific station. Van Horn was on the box and another man, whom Bechtel heimer did not recognize, was on the box with him. He drove from the oaroer shop to his home before driving out In the country with his relatives on a nine mile trip and said that when he got there Van Horo was standing In the doorway or the barn. He ask ed how much money he had taken In during the night and Van Horn replied that It was one dollar: Bechtelheimer told him to keep the money and have a new window light put In the hack. He said that this was all the conver sation he had had with Van Horn on that occasion and did not know wheth er or not there was anj1 one else In the barn with him at the times Replying to questions from Mr, Schenck, Mr, Bechtelheimer em phatically denied that he had been on the south side of the city on Wednes day morning, Frank Summers, a policeman, took the stand later on In the Inquiry and testified that he was on duty on lower Kansas avenue from 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, He said that he knew Van Horn. Rabbit Morkinson and Bechtelheimer, He declared that shortlv after T o'clock he saw Van Horn dlrvlng a hack north on the aveinue and that the Rabbit was on the box seat with him. He said that there was a man. bareheaded, wearing a blue shirt and smoking a cigar in side the hack and he was positive that this man was Bechtelheimer, whom he said he knew well. Bechtelheimer was recalled to the stand by one of the Jurors and he was questioned again. He insisted that the policeman must be mistaken because he could prove that he had not been on the south side of the city from Tuesday afternoon until yesterday. Henry Cowan's Story. Henry Cowan, for whom Morkinson worked as a peddler, told about the same story that he did yesterday but with some important additions. H-j testified to paying Morkinson 8, the money that was due him on Tuesday night when Morkinson told him that he was going away, He said it was Mork lnson's custom to carry a pocketbook and that a couple of weeks before, Van Horn drove up to him and Morkinson, who were Belling bananas on the corner of Sixth and Qulncy streets and told Morkinson that he knew where theie was a fresh one on tap. Morkinson pulled out his pocketbook, displayed a number of bills, probably $50 and said to Van Horn, "I've cut out drinking altogether and I've decided to work for Rabbit now." Van Horn then drove away. Cowan said that he started In to look for Morkinson to get him to go to work on Wednesday morning and had come across many persons who had seen him driving towards ..orth Topeka with Van Horn. Cowan's statement that It was always Morklnson's custom to carry a pocket book for his "soft" money Is important because no pocket book was found in Morkinson s clothes. John Wagner, a hackman, who rode over to North Topeka in the hack with Van Horn and Morkinson on Wednes day morning told his story Just the same as he did on yesterday. He got 1 in the hack in front of Dick Johnson's place and was let out near Jenkins' barn on North Qulncy street. He said that Van Horn and Morkinson continued to drive north and he supposed that they were going on to Bechtelhelmers barn. William Donovan, Elmer Krone, Frank King and others testified to seeing Morkinson and Van Horn on the back bound for North Topeka early on Wednesday morning. Each of them fix ed a different time between six and eight o'clock as to when they saw the hack going north- on the avenue. And It Is the opinion of the authorities that Van Horn and Morkinson possibly made two trips to North Topeka on that morning. Dr. O. A. Bandel. who performed the autopsy on Morklnson's body, describ ed the wounds he found in the head and Identified the two bullets he took from the head. He told of finding the frac ture in the skull posterior to the bul let wounds and believed that the blow which made it was delivered shortly before the shots were- fired Into the head. He expressed the opinion tnat Morkinson' death had been caused by one of the bullets which went straight through the brain. He did not think that the fracture of the skull would have caused instant death, although it probably would have produced uncon sciousness. Frank Norvllle. .Undertaker Conwell s assistant, told of going after the body and bringing It back to the undertaK lng rooms. Morklnson's Body Taken Home. William Morkinson, the father of the murdered man, arrived here early this morning from the family home at Hope, Dickinson county, Kan. He took his son's body back home on the 1:30 Rock Island train this afternoon. Mr. Morkinson was pretty well broken up over the unfortunate end of his son. He spoke In the highest terms of him and said that it was his custom to send his mother J5 a week from wherever he I was working. RAIN IN SPOTS. Peculiar Weather Conditions in This Vicinity. Peculiar weather conditions prevail over nearly the entire state at this time. In Topeka there have been nu merous showers during the past 24 hours, the total precipitation amount ing to .19 of an inch. Late last even ing this section was visited by a light shower and several times this morning drizzling showers have prevailed for a few moments. Just before noon a heavy fall of rain occurred In the central portion of the city. Clouds have prevailed all day and there has been but little sunshine and apparently showers have fallen over different parts of the county, though each separate shower has covered but a small area. The Indications are that fair and warmer weather will prevail Saturday and Sunday with the possi bilities of the occurrence of ferquent thunder showers. The following are the temperatures for today: 7 o'clock ..67111 o'clock' 70 8 o'clock 66112 o'clock 73 9 o'clock 67! 1 o'clock 73 10 o'clock 67 2 o'clock 73 Dr. McCllntock Is Better. The condition of Dr. J. C. McClln tock. who has been sick at his home, 1313 Fillmore 6treet, for a week past from a malarial trouble, is much Im proved today and hopes are enter tained for an Immediate recovery. He suffered a sinking spell yesterday and for some time serious complications were feared though he rallied during the evening and night until at the present time his condition is more favorable than it has been for several days. 1 OYER FIVE THOUSAND. Washburn Fund Gets Anotllef Big Boost Today;', The funds which have been sub scribed for the benefit of Washburn college now reach the high mark of $58,793. Of this amount $5,246 was received today and the prospects of getting $75,000 before July 1; how look better than ever. The physicians of the city have beguri to add their subscriptions to the Washburn fund which"iells why the fund was so largely increased yesterday: The movement to have the different stores of the city donate ten per cent of their receipts next Friday to the cause of Washburn is meeting with success. Already several merchants of the city have signified their inten tion of making next Friday a Wash burn Day: The firms which have so far agreed to give ten per Cent of their gross earnings to Washburn are as follows: Crosby Bros., Palace Clothing Co., Mills Dry" Goods Co., Warren M. Crosby, Robinson-Marshall Co., William Green Sons, O. M. Hill, F, W, Swearlngen, H: B. Howard, E. W, Hughes, Antiseptic Barber shop, L. S. Woolverton, Mrs. Hiram Hulse, Sim Drug Company, B. F. Abmes'er. These names do not rep resent all that will give ten per cent to the Washburn fund but are merely the names of a few who have been seen In a short time. Others will help the fund along as well as those whose names have been mentioned. Another movement which will bring results Is a movement among the women of the city headed by Mrs. Margart Hill McCarter. A number of the prominent women of the city met at the Copeland hotel this afternoon. where plans for an active canvass were discussed and several women are now among the canvassers for the fund. For next week additional canvassers from among the business men of the city will be secured! to help In the canvass. A little over eight een thousand dollars is all that remains to be Secured and several more canvassers should have no difficulty in making the required sum by next Saturday.

Is again in durance vile. There Is as strong belief that "Pie" will remain in dur ance for a time at least, as he wears the "jewelry," a chain fastened to his motive equipment by means of pad locks. When "Pie" escaped, bold policemen ran hither and thither, but "Pie" ran thitherward only, and soon distanced his pursuers. This morning he stole a five gallon can of gasoline from In front of the Staples grocery store. A few minutes later Officer Bryant saw "Pie" In the offlng. sneaked up and captured him. Before reaching the jail, however, "Pie" gave an exhibition of hot-foot, whereupon the officer fired three shots and pursued. Officer Summers heard the commotion, and assisted in heading "Pie" Into an alley. To add Insult to injury. "Pie" was taken Into police court and fined $50 for stealing the can of gasoline. He wept, and quoted law and scripture to the court. No Call of Docket.

Rice of St. Joseph, an outside V,' bidder, took away the paving contracts amounting to over $80,000 from un 4ierneath the noses of Topeka contrac- -it- last n n f hv An inside flmre which varied from 1 Vt cents to 6 cents per square yard lower than the next lowest bidder. The price which Rice made on the contract, $1.27 for paving in North Topeka and $1.23 for paving on the south side of the river was lower than anyone believed could be secured. The engineer's estimate for paving the North Topeka streets was $1.36 and streets south of the river at $1.30. The alleys were estimated by the city engineer at $1.40 while Rice entered a bid of $1.33 for this work. The total estimate for the paying let last evening amounted according to the engineer's figures to $88,356.54 for the twenty-five blocks. The city will save on this amount under the contract figures of last evening, $5, 265.05. Twelve out of the twenty-five blocks to be paved are located in North To peka. Incidentally the cost of paving has gone up Just exactly 14 cents per square yard within the last two years. This might interest some of the tax payers who are now paying more for paving than they have for a great many years. Advance in the cost of labor and the price of coal are given as the reason by the manufacturers of brick for the increased cost of brick which la the- important factor in high er paving charges. It is also claimed that a local brick combine had some thing to do with conditions. However, the big advance did not come this year, the contracts let May 7, 1906 were for $1.22 per square yard. It has been sometime since an out side person has secured any paving contracts In Topeka. In fact it is pret ty hard to remember when a contrac tor from another town ever did come to Topeka and land all of the paving. With two brick plants right in the city the local contractors got inside prices for brick from these local manufac turers which foreign bidders were un able to meet and knowing this they usually stayed away. But Rice is a manufacturer of brick himself. He is interested In the Phoenix brick com pany which it is said is one of the largest brick plants In their territory. The paving contracts let last night do not include the repaving of North Kansas avenue from the Melan arch bridge to Gordon street with brick, nor the repaving of West Tenth avenue from Jackson to Harrison streets with asphalt. Advertisements for bids for this work have been or dered, all bids to be In by July 1. The successful bids on the remain ing portions of work were: J. H.

Gilmore also secured the contracts for the construction of brick sidewalks. The council will meet this evening again to determine the amount of cement curbing that it wants to install and also the amount of blue sandstone. It's a merry fight to determine which shall go in. Th.5 city engineer recommends that a combined cement crb and gutter be placed in, in North Torjeka but leaves open the remain der of the paving. Cement has never been employed for a gutter construc tion in Topeka before. "Cement gutter Is all right. They are using it everywhere now and it is p-tving satisfaction. The price wa se cured is one cent 10v.'r than Kansas City got on its contracts," said John R- dgers. city engineer. The blue sandstone is giving satis faction in Topeka.. The grading con tract is just writhln the estimate by one cent, the rolling contract varie 3 from one-half cent under the estimate to Just equal "to tho estimate. Last year the grading contract was let for 26 cents, rolling- 2 cents, curb catch basins $16.65, and crossing plates $6. The curb catch basins and crossinK plates are $1.50 higher each this year.

F. G. Drenning threatened thri cil last night with a suit if thev vnted to pay out $414.64 for macadamizing a ui cjhsz aignm avenue. The county .had started i cademize a stretch of the street out side of the city limits and asked the council to- go half way with them on the cost. The county .went ahead with the work and' the city agreed to pay for its just proportion amounting to $414.64. The charter,-. at provides that tne city nas no.rignt tj appropriate any amount to exceed $100 "for Dublic im provement work without' first advertis ing for bids and letting the work to tne lowest bidder. The city .attorney contends that the city' failed to do this and therefore violated the provisions of tne city cnarter act. The city attorney was called on for his legal opinion last ftvening" as to the right of the council to pay the amount. He started in to tell the council what he thought when an interruption came from one of the couneilmen. "Don't make a stump speech." We want to know what the law is." "Yes, just give us 'the law and cut out the speech making," said the mayor. J'The trouble has been that these lit tle violations have cost the city thou sands of dollars," said Drenning. "As far as I am concerned I am will ing to assume the responsibility of pay- ing this bill," said Mr. Blakely. "We want right to prevail but we don't want technicalities. -i. "I haven't the time nor Inclination to languish behind the bars," said Coun cilman Montgomery. "I think the city attorney should suggest some way to pay for this legally."-.

Is Greeted With a Splendid Crowd at the Chautauqua. Politicians and Prominent Friends Bine With Him. Ottawa, Kan.. Juno 21. One of the greatest crowds in the history of the Ottawa Chautauqua assembly greeted William H. Taft, secretary of war, upon fcls appearance on the platform Thurs day afternoon, i Every seat In the great park tabernacle was filled, and crowds stood about the outer edges. While none of the State executive officers accompanied the Taft party, owing to the conflict of date with the battleship Kansas ceremony, most of the federal crowd were on hand. Sen ator Long assumed charge of the dis tinguished visitor, having accompanied him from Leavenworth with a number of the federal court officers. At Holll day Senator Curtis Joined the party and along the line a number of statesmen boarded the train. A local committee who met Mr. Taft at Kansas City con sisted of Judge Smart, F. M. Harrle and A. L. Miller. A committee headed by Judge Benson escorted the party and prominent men attended the meeting to the Elsmere boarding house, Ottawa being badly off for hotels, where they were the guests of the city at luncheon. At Secretary Taft's table were Senators Long and Curtis, Col. Jack Harris, National Com mitteeman Mulvane, Congressman Scott, W. R. Stubbs, J. L. Bristow, Rev. Bernard Kelly. W. T. Morgan and Hen ry J. Allen. Other prominent Kansans were Congressman Calderhead, Senators Kitzpatrick, Qulncy and Porter of Mont gomery, Representative Stockton of Woodson, State Bank Commissioner Royce. State Chairman Moore, Grant Hornaday, Railroad Commissioner Ry ker, H. J. Bone, F. P. MacLennan, U. S. Marshal Mackey, H. F. Mllliken of the Dodge City land office, S. S. Ashbaugh, C N. Price of Pittsburg, and others. It was a splendid demonstration, made all the more picturesque by the waving of bright colored fans and handkerchiefs by the women. Mr. Taft's voice, in spite of a severe cold, appeared to carry to all parts of the ha! I. "As I stand In this magnificent pres ence." he said. "I must apologize for coming to you with a voice which may fail to reach to the distant part of this great audience. My un fortunate voice is due to a bad cold and will prev-nt me giving expres sion as I should like. But when I make an excuse for a bad voice I'm reminded of a story told me by one of the Justices in Ireland. A defendant was before the court for manslaughter, having hit a Tipperary n.an on the head with a blackthorn stick, from which he died. The testi mony of the surgeo.ia showed that the nun had what is known as a "paper skull.' The man was found guilty and asked what he had to say why sen tence rhould not be pronouncd. 'Nothin' much.' he said, 'except PANAMA CANAL. The two torn and 1 1 rY6 jr Priced $15 to $25 Special: Genuine one-piece Panamas $5.00 KAN. AVE.

"And so I ask, what right has a man w.th a throat like mine in sucn a presence Aside from these opening words in his speech Secretary Taft confined him self strictly to his topic, but in these opening sentences he replied to the challenge from W. J. Bryan the day before. "The distinguished citizen of Nebraska who s caressed you yesterday with an anxiety for my welfare, which I very much appreciate," said Mr. Taft "named several subjects which he de sired me to speak to you about. I beg to remind the distinguished Nebraskan that I have discussed these questions of the trusts, tariff revision and railroad regulation on ptcper ocenstons. Mean time I reortsent an administration that is carrying out policies, and not mak lrg denunclatoiy and declaratory statements for campaign purposes. When the appropriate time comes to renew the discurMon of these questions I will state my opinions, which have not changed. Turning to th subject of the Pana ma Canal, Mr. Taft said the necessary ground work had been done, and that real results) were now being accom plished. There is no place in the spirit of this country said Mr. Taft, for the constitutional fault finder. Basing his conclusions on the reports of the en gineers Mr. Taft said the canal would be finished in seven years. The secretary's voice was husky from a recent cold, and he had some difficulty at firs in making himself heard. He persistently avoided refer ences to the presidency, further than to reiterate his statement concerning the story of his possible withdrawal from the contest. Many people greeted the secretary as the next president during the day. Mr. Taft received the salutation with a smile. The secretary, accompanied by W. T. Morgan. H. J. Allen and delega tions of statesmen left for the east at 4:15. Last night Congressman Scott, whose subject. The Panama Canal, had been borrowed by Secretary Taft. ad dressed a big audience on the subject of the Philippines, showing views of the islands. The congressman was In the crowd on the depot platform to greet Secretary Taft upon the party's arlval. "Hello. Scotty." said the secretary, slapping the congressman on the back. Battle With a Bie Fish. Chester Marcum, a farm hand near West Auton, is exhibiting many scars and a fifty-pound catfish to bolster up a story of a fierce hand-to-fln battle which he claims tooK place a lew days ago in the shallow shore waters of the Missouri river. According to Marcum's story, he was fishing in the Missouri with a 75-foot throw line, and when he had cast it out into the deep water for the seventh time he felt a mighty pull and began drawing his catch in toward the bank. After he had drawn the fish to the shallow water near shore the line broke. He promptly leaped into the pool and grasped the fish's fins. The "cat" couldn't swim with ease in that depth, but it struggled and threw Marcum down, submerging him. He rose undaunted and renewed the battle with bleeding hands. After fifteen minutes of fierce struggling he was victor. He dragged the fish to the bank, rested half an hour, and then took it to West Alton. St. Louis Dis patch to New Tork World.

D. Haywood Charged With Jlurder. PLAN OF THE DEFENSE Is to Ask the Court to Instruct the Jury to Acquit. This, of Course, Is Merely a Matter cf Form. Boise, Idaho. June 21. What is ex pected to be the last day of the direct evidence to "be produced by the state of Idaho against William D. Haywood will be occupied with the evidence filling In the gaps left open because of the absence of witnesses or docu ments. The defense will not attempt to deny or contradict Orchard's statements that he is many times a murderer or that he is guilty of the crimes of which he stands charged, but they maintain that their client Haywood had no connection with them. Today or tomorrow they will move that the charge against Haywood be dismissed becausp the state has failed to show his connection with any of the crimes of which Orchard has told or to con nect him with the specific crime of wihch he stands charged. If the action of the defense to dis msis is denied the defense will com mence its innings on Monday next. Clarence Darrow of Chicago will make the opening speech and will present the case for the defense. Then will follow the evidence. The defense will be conducted by Mr. Darrow and he intimates that there are surprises to come. The real struggle begins with the opening of the case for the defense and the outlining of its case. Thursday Afternoon. Boise, June 21. The reading of the Miners' magazines continued through a great part of Thursday in the Hay wood trial. Judge Wood naming each exhibit and announcing at the same time that an objection by the defense to its admission would be overruled and an exception noted. Senator Borah read each article as the exhibit was called. He made no attempt at declamation and in fact called out a protest from Clarence Darrow who at the close of one piece of graphic writing said Jokingly: "If you have any more like that. I wish you'd let us read them." The matter introduced cover ed a wide range from political com ment to extreme denunciation of Steunenberg. Peabody and Goddard coming In for the greater share of the more violent language. The dates ran from 1900 to the end of 1905, but Judge Wood ruled out all the matter offered from the magazines and ap pearing in the numbers issued after the death of Steunenberg. Ed Boyce, the former president of the Western Federation of Miners, now a wealthy mine owner of this state, was a constructive witness during the reading, although he was not actually on the stand. He had been introduced by the state to testify that the Miners' magazine was the official organ of the Western Federation of Miners. At the conclusion of the reading, the defense announced that there would be no cross examination of Mr. Boyce. Judge Wood here allowed the state to introduce a decision by the supreme court or tJolorado declaring unconsti tutional the eight hour law. Judge Goddard participated in the decision. The defense insisted that the de cision be read in entirety. Senator Borah being at the task for nearly an hour. Luncheon adjournment then was taken until 2 o'clock. State Nearly Tlirough. Senator Borah announced that the state would undoubtedly close today. After recess Senator Borah offered in evidence a decision of the supreme court of Florida in the case of Charles H. Mover, denying a writ of habeas corpus to the president of the Western Federation of Miners. The opinion was written by Chief Justice Gabbart and was identified for the purpose of showing alleged animus of the federa tion against the jurist, whose life was attempted by Harry Orchard. The reading of the decision of the court was dispensed with for the time being to enable the state to call to the stand James Kirwan, acting secretary of the Western Federation of Miners in the absence of Haywood. Kirwan detailed the duties of the of fice he now fills. He was asked about the membership of the executive board in different years, the object being to show that Jack Simpklns implicated by Orchard in the first attempt upon Gov ernor Steunenberg, was a member of the board in 1904, 1905 and 1906. Kir wan paid this was true. He said the president and recretary and treasurer are ex-officio members of the board. Money from the treasury of the or ganization-is paid out on order of the president and secretary end treasurer. This was all that was desired of Mr. Kirwan and he was released without cross-examination. Said He Ought to Be Killed. E. M. Stewart, a machinist of Ba ker City, Ore., formerly chief engineer of the Trade Dollar mine at Silver City, was called to testify as to a con versation he had with Haywood in 3S99. The defense objected to this tes timony on the ground that any critic ism of Steunenberg during the Coeur D'Alenes trouble could not have any thing to do with fixing the responsi bility for his death. It was also ar gued that in 1899, Haywood was but a working miner, holding no office what ever in the Western Federation of Miners. Judge Wood allowed the tes timony. Mr. Haywood said Governor Steunen berg was a tyrant and monster and ought to be killed I believe extermina ted, was the word he used," said the witness. Cross-examined by Richardson. Stew art said that criticism of Governor Steunenberg was common among the miners at Silver City, because 1,000 minera were in the "bull pen" at the time and were held without trial. Ask ed how it was he remembered what Haywood said, Stewart replied: I had always looked on Mr. Hay- wocd as a model citizen and was sur prised to hear him say what he did." Haywood made several such utter ances thereafter but so far as his con duct was concerned, he remained a model citizen. Stewart said several other men were present when Haywood made the state ment regarding Steunenberg. Hf could r.ot recall any of their names. He did not remember the names of any of the men working in the mine at that time. The next witness was W. V. Mc Cartney, who, in 1904, was cashier of me Postal Teleeranh company at Den er. He was handed-and he identified en application filed with him for the transfer of a sum of money. The iden tification cf the man to whom the mon ey was sent was waived by the sender. The papers indicated that the money was paid. The papers were then offred In evi dence. The first nroved to be an ap plication made bvJ. W. Wolff of 1725 Stout street, Denver, to have the com pany pay 197.50, to "Green carpenter, care Peter L. Huff, 211 Taylor street, San Francisco." Assumed Names. "J.W.Wolff" is alleged to have been the name taken by George A. Petti bone and 1725 Stout street was the address of Pettibone's store. Orchard testified on the stand that he had re ceived this money from Pettibone who had told him "Harry Green" was a good enough name for any one. The date of the money transfer was September 10, the time Orchard was in San Francisco, engaged in opera tions against Fred Bradley. The second paper showed the trans fer on October 15, 1904, of $48 to "H. M. Green" in San Francisco from "P. Bone." Denver. Orchard testified that the name "Pat Bone" was often used by Pettibone. The defense did not cross examine McCarty but moved unsuccessful to have all his testimony stricken out as it did not in any way connect the de fendant, Haywood, with the killing of ex-Governor Steunenberg. Senator Borah said this ended the state's case with the exception of some records from the Denver office of the Western Union Telegraph com pany which are expected today. If they arrive the state will close by noon. The senator then, as the last bit of work of the day. read the de cision denying the writ of habeas corpus to Charles H. Moyer. The defense insisted that a dissent ing opinion of the court should also be read. Judge Wood granted the at torneys for the defense permission to read the opinion, but said Senator Borah would not be required to do the task. It was finally agreed to let the reading go over until today at 9:30 a. m., to which time court adjourned. Attorney Darrow stated that after the close of the state's case the de fense would have an important mat ter to present as to the line of the de fense. This was the notification that the defense will move the court to in struct the jury to render a verdict of not guilty on the ground that the state has not sufficiently connected Hay wood with the death of Governor Steunenberg. If this motion is de nied the defense will ask for an ad journment until Monday when Mr. Darrow will make the opening state ment. H. H. Bear spent Thursday in Kan sas City.

What should be the de cision?" We are inclined to believe that in view of all the previous exploits of A, and the shady deals in which he was involved, the court would be justified in holding that A was in some way responsible for the fall of the building, and should sus tain the demurrer.

Street Commissioner Snyder Has Trouble In Finding Dumping Place. "Cans, cans, cans," said Frank Sny der, street commissioner today. "We have hauled 471 wagon loads of them already and there are about 120 more wagon loads of them still to be hauled. I never saw so many. The' last time we did clean up the alleys and try to get rid of the tin cans we hauled away some 300 loads. The greatest trouble comes in trying to dump them. Nobody wants them. If we find a big hole somewhere and try to dump them in the people all start to kick. There is nothing unsanitary about a tin can and I don't see why they want to ob ject o much. The tanks of the creeks, the draws and all of the vagrant gul lies with a radius of three miles of the city have been given a tin can lining." This Year". Ideal Vacation Trip.
