Demand for payment of a board bill by Mrs. Frank Muga started a fight among twenty men last night at Benbow City, 111., a settlement north of here, that resulted in a crushed skull for Steven Nermit and an arm of Charles Gunlck being almost severed by a cleaver. When Mrs. Muga demanded that Ner mit pay a bill of four weeks' standing the two got into a struggle. Her hus band went to Mrs. Muga's assistance and a general melee followed.

Employers Find a New Cause for Apprehension. Associated Press Rejects All Orertures From Union. Chicago, Aug. 22. With conditions daily approaching a more normal stage In the business of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies In ternatlonal officers of the Commercial Telegraphers union have begun to speak of the possibility of the strike terminat ing In a manner not altogether satisfac tory to the union. President Sylvester J. Small, after ad vising telegraphers to go out west and work In the harvest fields, for the first time admitted the possibility of defeat. He found encouragement In speaking to an audience of determined strikers at Brand's hall, in the fact that no matter how the struggle terminated 5,000 union telegraphers still would be in the pos session of good Jobs, in brokers' offices and newspaper offices, where the closed shop principle would be maintained. The union never could die, he believed, with these men as a reserve force. Railway Telegraphers Watching. Employers found new cause for appre hension when they learned that thirty or forty officers of various locals of the Order of Railway Telegraphers were in Chicago to watch developments in the strike. "They are here," said G. Dal Jones', chief telegrapher of the O. R. T., "be cause they are unable to get any au thentic Information of the strike by tel egraph. So many forged telegraph mes sages have been sent out that they don't know what to believe." Mr. Jones was asked If fhe presence of the officers of the organization indicat ed a general strike among the railroad telegraphers, something the general offi cers have been most anxious to avoid. "There always is that possibility," said he. Advices were received at union head quarters that the cable operators had struck at Canso, Nova Scotia, and North Sidney, Newfoundland, ten or twelve men. Western Union officials said there had been no Interruption In the cable service. Col. C. S. Diehl, assistant manager of the Associated Press, paid that so far us lhat Institution was concerned the- con tinuation of the strike gave -no anxiety whatever. He said that out of 460 op erators employed under normal condi tions over the country 250 were working and that the average amount of press matter fcr each day during the last six days was 40,000 words, or about all the wires could carry. Brand's Hall Meeting. Brand's hall was a little more than half filled when President Small be gan speaking. He said: "Our men, especially those young and footloose, are leaving every day to take Jobs as harvest hands in the west. I am glad to see it. It will be a good vacation for them. I wish more would go. They'll come back brown and strong and with no suspicion of telegraphers' cramp. They are being paid from $3 to J 5 a day, and that's more than they can make as teleg raphers." After the meeting Small had to give a good many inquiring telegraphers more explicit Information about the harvest fields and how to get there. Speaking about the possible duration of the strike, he said: "If it last more than two months it will not pass beyond our ability to finance it. We have enough money to keep you from actual want, or will have It before it is needed. Two thirds of my hearers are on the black list of the companies, and If you don't win it means years of suffering for you. "One hundred and" fifty closed shop contracts have been signed since the strike began. Five thousand of our men are working in brokers' offices or on the leased wires of newspapers. and even if the big companies do de feat us we still will have a big union. The railroads are short of operators. and every day more of our men are going to work for them. Hear From Associated Press. Officers of the union are not san guine over securing any concessions from the Associated Press, though they take considerable satisfaction In reports reaching headquarters that few it any of the old operators are re turning to work. 1 Private advices received at head quarters from a New York union source-told of the failure of negotia tions with Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press. One of a committee which held a confer ence with Mr. Stone a day or two ago wrote: Th committee had a lengthy con ference with Mr. Stone and all we could learn was this: Mr. Stone refuses to consider the union In any way, and w-111 have nothing to do with the strik ers However, he says he will meet at any time a committee of his (present) employes, and do all possible to adjust the matter. He remains firm that we held him up in a highwayman like manner, and will positively refuse to treat with us. "He seems exceedingly bitter against Small personally, and some of the men in the south, especially on the Texas circuit, and says they will never again work for the Associated Press, Postal, or Western Union." Without knowing anything about this communication Col Diehl said that It looked as if as far as the Associated Press was concerned, the strike had ceased to be a cause for atixiety. Press Circuits Resuming Work. "Sneaking of the general situation," said Col. Diehl, "the Associated Press, employing under normal conditions, 400 operators, has 250 at work. Everybody is working in New England and In New York state. In the district ex tending from Pittsburg and Salt Lake City out of 142 operators 9T are at work. Outside of the Texas circuit and from Salt Lake to Seattle all the wires are in full operation, but the wires to-the Pacific slope are not holding up. Dur ing the last six days we have handled 40,000 words daily, which is about all the wires will stand even under normal conditions." While CoL Diehl was making this statement a letter was received at un ion headquarters, signed by Associated Press telegraphers at j Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis. St. Joseph, Denver, Salt Lake San Francisco, and Interme diate points saying: "We will never return to work unless we get all we asked for.. .Then we wipe out all scores, pledge ourselves to live up to our contract, help rebuild the greatest news gathering association on earth, and devote .our energies to the best interests of our union and our em ployes. Settle it now for all time; otherwise there will be dissatisfaction. This is the final word from us." It was announced at .national union headquarters that telegraph operators employed by the American Telephone and Telegraph company had secured an agreement providing for an Increase in wages amounting tola per cent and an eight hour day. This, ends the tele phone controversy; which might have extended to 300 operators, seriously in terfering with the long distance sys tem. CHASE A "SPOTTER." Police Called at Leavenworth to Pro tect a Spy .on Saloonlsts. Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 22. C. D. Shukers, assistant attorney general, left for Topeka after getting out war rants for eight more Joint keepers Wednesday, making twenty-one in all. It is said that he has testimony against eighty more and that be will return next week when the county attorney will be called upon to assist in closing places. A. F. Sheridan, a. veteran about 66 years old, who gathered most of the evidence against the joint keepers, was released from the city Jail late Wednesday afternoon on a bond of $100, signed by Mr. Shukers and Floyd Harper, deputy county attor ney. After Sheridan was .released from the city Jail he walked to the electric depot to go home in Kansas City. He was pointed out as a spotter and a small crowd followed. Sev eral hundred gathered on the outside of the depot room while he was wait ing for a car. The police were tele phoned for and Marshal Cranston ana two officers came quickly and pro tected the old man while they es corted him to the electric car. Two Joint keepers tried to kick Sheridan and were prevented from doing so. Nineteen out of every twenty in the crowd gathered from curiosity and a few joint keepers were .the only ones who were hostile" and they made a demonstration mainly to frighten Sheridan from coming back. All the places where warrants were sworn out for the joint keepers are closed and have not attempted to reopen. Joints on side streets are operating as usual. The hearing of the applications for permanent injunctions will be heard by Judge Gillpatrick late in Septem ber. He is now in Europe. For Is suing the temporary injunctions Judge Johnson will receive a. fee of $3 -An each ease, or 6 6- 1 together. The ac tion of the attorney generaK means a rich harvest for a number of tire coun ty officials. COMER BACKS DOWN; Alabama Governor Grants the Rail roads More Time. Chicago. Aug. 22. A dispatch to the Tribune from Montgomery, Ala., says: Governor Comer in a statement Is sued here last night, said he would give the railroad companies until Oc tober "stto comply with the recently enacted rate la w. If they do not com ply by that time Tie says he will call a special session of the legislature and urge the enactment of even more dras tic laws. Governor Comer's statement was the result of Instructions given to the federal grand Jury yesterday. Judge Thomas C. Jones urged fhe Indictment of any county or state of ficer who interferes in any way with the injunctions Issued by his court nul lifying the cheap rate law recently passed by the Legislature. Judge Jones's charge in an answer to the threat of Governor Comer that ho would order state officials to enforce the law despite the federal injunc tion. Judge Jones calls the situation "abominable, uncalled for, and detri mental to the welfare of Alabama." SEATTLE SELECTED. Will Be Next Meetinjr Place or Knights of Khorassan. Colorado Springs. Col..

A Trusted Treasurer Makes Away With $20,000. Chicago, Aug. 22. Through the de defalcation of a trusted secretary-treasurer the .Milk Wagon Drivers' union one of the strongest labor organizations in Chicago has, it is alleged, been plunged from affluence to temporary poverty- By means of duplicate books and Juggling the various accounts, the official it is charged has secured in the course of a year possession of all the union's funds, something over $20,000. Where the money has gone, whether it has been spent or invested in such a manner that all or part of it my be re turned, the 1,700 members of the union are hoping to learn. A special meeting of the union has been called to consider what action to take in the emergency. GOING TOO FAST. Jacob H. Schiff Says That Is AH That Ails Business. Declares No Blame Attaches to the Administration. WAS BOUND TO COME As Result of Past Decade of Commercial Development. Hastened by Japanese War and Frisco Earthquake. New York, Aug. 22. Jacob H. Schiff, the banker, who is at Bar Harbor.Maine, is ouoted in a published interview on the financial and business outlook as saying: "To blame the federal adminis tration for the difficulties in which we find ourselves is both thoughtless and unjust. Even if the excesses which the great prosperity of recent years has had in Its wake had been permitted to con tinue 'Unchecked, before long a situa tion would have developed probably far more difficult and serious than the crisis through which we are now passing. In the first instance, it Is a result of the tremendous railroad, industrial and com mercial development of the last ten years, which has brought about capital requirements largely in excess of the ability of the country to supply. Europe finding itself In a similar position, has been unable to extend us any credit or place at our disposal surplus funds, such as has been Its wont to invest so largely in American securities in times of de pression. "Moreover, it has been to a great ex tent overlooked that the Russian-Japanese war and the San Francisco earth quake have destroyed an enormous amount of wealth which sooner or later had to make itself felt. Nor has the fact that both Japan and China have now entered into competition for the surplus capital of the world been given sufficient attention. "No other remedy for this state of affairs appears to be possible than at least a temporary reduction in our ac tivities until the country's capital and credit facilities again have reached a point sufficient for its volume of busi ness." SOUND AND SATISFACTORY. Not a Disturbing Factor Found In the Business Situation. Chicago, Aug. 22. "The over whelming preponderance of evidence is that the business situation is sound and satisfactory," says a summary of 30,000 opinions of bankers and manu facturers issued by the' Commercial iTational Bank of Chicago. "Our reports are unanimous In say ing that the prosperity In every line of business during' the last year has been superlative. The vital question which everyone is asking has to do with the future. Is the wave of prosperity still rising or have we reached the crest and begun the descent to more mod erate conditions? The answer to this question is bound up in the factors which enter into. the credit operations of the people. "The reports we have received indi cate that by all the tests we have men tioned the credit situation on which all else finally depends Is sound. Less Rapid Pace Welcomed. "Not one of the thousands of re plies negatives this conclusion In definite terms. That there has been a marked easing down from the ten sion of the spring and winter months of the year is generally admitted, but it is admitted without a trace of re gret or misgiving. The country had been rushing "ahead at a whirlwind pace until the tax on credit and capi tal accumulations compelled a respite The demand for goods has been un precedented. The result is too familiar to all men of affairs to need exposi tion. The strain on the money cen ters of the world has been very great. There is no easy money in the civil ized world today. "The consensus of opinion Is that the demand of legitimate business will continue to absorb all available funds for some time to come and there Is nothing in our review to suggest any recession in rates, at least not before the year end liquidation. Diminished Speculation. "To suggest an Idea of the urgency of the demand for capital to expand and equip the productive capacity of industry so that it may be on a par with the fast increasing consumptive demand for the things of modern life, we call attention to the world phe nomenon of stagnation In the purely speculative department of affairs. "Recently we have seen a record low price for the British consolidated debt 'consols' indicating that the rewards of capital in industry are so attractive as to prompt withdrawal of funds even from the acknowledged chief of Invest ment securities. The same phenomenon In Its application to the funded loans of all governments except our own and for this there Is a special and artificial reason and in Its application to the bonds and shares of the exchanges, is a further light on the tension which is everywhere felt in money affairs. "It Is a curious and striking fact that In all the thousands of replies which enter Into the picture of the business situation before us there is hardly a reference to the speculative lethargy which contributes so large a part of the 'news' from day to day. And yet it is a truism familiar beyond need of mention that the security markets ex ist merely as governors of the supply of mobile capital. Of necessity their ac tivity must decline when economic forces drain from their stocks of stag nant capital. When the mobile capital of the world Is needed In productive enterprise or In distributive service it must necessarily desert the stock ex change, and security speculation must inevitably wane before the necessities and overstepping importance of in dustrial activity. Raising the Standard of Living. ."The high cost of materials and la bor, and especially a certain inefficiency of labor, are noted by some of our in formants as unfavorable factors In the situation. The worldwide struggle of all classes to appropriate more of the comforts of advancing civilization and to share more generously In the satis factions of living have brought about important changes In the labor situation and the temper of workers everywhere. The demand for hteher wages and shorter hours of labor has been in sistent and generally successful, result ing In increased cost of producing raw materials and finished products and naturally enhancing distributive prices, except so far as economies of organi zation and the use of perfected ma chinery may have offset the cost Items. "The love of comfort and luxury which has permeated society from the lowest to the highest stratum has made Im perative demands which formerly were only occasional and this new and urgent demand has solidified into a habit which no temporary change in the commodity index can check-" Satisfactory Crop Conditions. The reports show satisfactory crop conditions as a whole. The grasses are an unusually rich crop, making sure of continued prosperity of the arimal In dustry. The wheat crop Is estimated at 640 million bushels, with a surplus of 60 million bushels carried over. The ex cess above home needs Is certain to meet with a strong foreign demand ow ing to the shortage of 350 million bush els or more in the world's wheat crops. Oats are short 100 to 150 million bushel! from last year's crop. The corn yield promises 2,500 million bushels or more. Cotton production will be 1 to 1 mil lion bales less than last year, but will sell for as much money as last year's crop brought. The surprising fact Is shown that haif the banks in the country are buyers of commercial paper. In other words their surplus of funds above what Is required to supply their home customers has en abled them to buy the notes of high grade merchants and manufacturers in other communities, though this has en tailed no hardship on home borrowers. The reports show an indifference among bankers and schemes of cur rency reform. Only a tenth over half the bankers of the country favor a prop erly regulated credit currency- MORGAN WOH'AALK. But He Is Deeply Interested In the Financial Situation. New York, Aug. 22. After a four months' search of the art shops and galleries of Europe, picking up treas ures for his private galleries, J. Pier pont Morgan returned home on the White Star steamship Oceanic. Mr. Morgan displayed keen interest in the financial situation but declined to make any statement at this time, say ing that after he had made a full in vestigation of the present monetary conditions he might have something to say. "Mv knowledge of the situation." said Mr. Morgan, "is preliminary, and until I can look into the matter I will say nothing. I never make statements until I can talk facts. I will not talk about art either. I have not read President Roosevelt's speech." Sir Casper Purdon Clarke, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said that Mr. Morgan had not talked of art with him and gave no intima tion as to what gifts Mr. Morgan might make to the museum. He said Mr. Morgan was deeply interested in the financial situation "at this time. CAR STRIKE TO END." Men Will Return to Work and No Questions Asked. San Francisco, Aug. 22. The Post The street car strike will be de clared off by the general strike com mittee before many hours. The ways and means committee of the strikers has arranged with representatives of the United railroads to call off the strike. The carmen will return to work as individuals. No questions relative to membership in the union will be asked. All difference pertain ing to wages and hours will be arbi trated. The settlement would give 35,000 members of .building trades unions and their families permission to ride on the cars despite any action the carmen's union may take. Presi dent Cornelius of the carmen's union says national officers will maintain that the strike is stil! on and con fusion is expected to result. TAFT IN KENTUCKY. He Will Open the Campaign for the Republicans. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 22. Secretary Taft arrived at Elmendorf last night and is being entertained by former Postmaster C. H. Berryman. He will open the Republican campaign here todav and will deal with national problems in his speech. Secretary Taft was given a hearty welcome at each station between Cincinnati and Lexington. BACK AT OYSTER BAY. The President's Return Trio Was Delayed by Fog. Oyster' Bay, Aug. 22. The naval yacht Mayflower with President Roose velt and. party on board dropped an chor In Oyster Bay at 5 o'clock yester day afternoon. It required five hours longer to make the return from Pro vincetown, Mass., than was anticipated owing to the heavy fog which prevail ed during the early morning hours and practically all day. Oyster Bay was reached during a heavy shower. The rain did not last long and the presi dent and party were put ashore short ly after the Mayflower came to anchor. The torpedo boats Worden and Hop kins escorted the Mayflower on the re turn voyage. STEAMER RATE WAR. Cunard and German Lines Make Cuts In Cabin Fare. Berlin. Aug. 22. A rate war involving cabin passengers has broken out between the Cunard and the German lines in the North Atlantic service. The Cunard line having offered a minimum first cabin passenger from Hamburg to New York for $127.50. Including a free ticket to Liv erpool and expenses there, the Hamburg American line announces a reduction of rates from $130 to $1.07.50 and the North German Lloyd line a reduction from $130 to $117.50. This was brought about after prolonged negotiations on the part of German lines with the Cunard line for the purpose of reaching an agreement to maintain common rates. UNDER THE DOME. Gorernor Hoch Appoints Finley Judge as Expected. Though Young New Official Has Made Phenomenal Success. KANSAS MEN DO WELL. State Rifle Team Making Good Record in East. Executive Asked to Name Dele gates to Taxation Congress. The i appointment of J. W. Finle of Chanute to the position of judge of the Seventh judicial district was announced late Wednesday afternoon by Governor E. W. Hoch. Judge Finley will succeed Judge Leander Stillwell, who refused to withdraw his resignation. Judge Finley is a young man, having practiced law only four years. Ha came to Neosho count-- about 12 years ago, but since engaging in the law business his success has been phenomenal. He la a partner of John J. Jones, and the firm of Jones Finley has done a larga por tion of the law business of that part of the state. Mr. Jones is Kansas attorney for the Kansas Natural Gas company, and this fact has injured Mr. Flnley's chances for appointment to the bench. Governor Hoch notified Mr. Finley Wednesday by telephone of his ap pointment, and Mr. Finley accepted the appointment. Judge Stillwell's letter refusing to withdraw his resignation arrived only a few minutes before Mr. Finley's ap pointment was announced. A letter has been received from Ad jutant General J. W. F. Hughes stating that the Kansas rifle team Is doing some wonderful shooting in the prelim inary events at Camp Perry, Ohio, and that some of the Kansas experts will likely bring home with them a collection of medals In addition to their ranking In the great national competition. Rodney J. Kessler, battalion adjutant. Second Infantry, made a score of 96 out of 100 at 600 yards, and secured a silver medal offered by the National Rifle as sociation. Lieutenant Frank Parmley, Co. C. First infantry, and Corporal Walden, Co. D, Second infantry, made 'each 40 out of 50, and secured a bronze medal apiece. Ail these honors were won on Monday, the first day of the preliminary shoots, after the Kansas shooters had just ar rived, having ridden 1,000 miles. In a letter Adjutant General Hughes says: "I want to advertise the fact that our boys are shooters. We are going to crowd some of the older states this year. I am proud of the Kansas team." Governor Charles Harris of Ohio ha, asked Governor Hoch to appoint thret delegates to the national taxation con gress to meet In Columbus on November 12.

GOMPERS DEFIANT. Would Violate Injunction if It Inter fered With His Rights. Washington. Aug. 22. Following a meeting of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor. President Gompers said that most probably the federation would bring a counter suit against the National Man ufacturers' association, charging thas body with conspiracy. He stated that the association recently met in New York with the object of devising means for the injury of organized la bor and that it has been made evi dent that there Is to be concerted ac tion against that interest. Mr. Gompers charged that the re cent Vancleave injunction proceedings against boycotts and publication of unfair lists were instigated by the manufacturers' association which, he says, recently decided to raise $1,500. 000 to crush organized labor. Mr. Gompers added: "The executive council of the Ameri can Federation of Labor decided that the case to be met in the courts shalr take on the broadest scope. The ex ercise of our rights sought to bs en joined are not illegal or unlawful, and we will continue to assert them. "We know we are within our lg-nl rights and we propose to exercise them regardless of personal consequence. "So far as I am concerned, I wish to state this, when It comes to a choic between surrendering my rights, n a free American citizen or violating tho injunction of the courts, I do not hesi tate to say that I shall txercise my rights as between the two."

Peter Pan and Sir Huon, two of the most taiiceri.nr nurs.es in me east, nave been retired for the season and there is a chance that neither will ever be put in trainine again. Peter Pan is the star of the James R. Keene barn, among the older division of horses, although Colin, the undefeated 2-year-old, is really the cream of the stable. Peter Pan has won most of Mr. Keene's fortune on the turf this season. He took the Advance stakes at Sheepshead Bay, which were worth $11,750. He won the Tidal stakes, worth 815,050. Then he took the Brooklyn handicap, worth $10,475. Next he grab bed the Standard stakes at Oravesend, which was worth $5,300, and his big win nings came in the Belmont stakes.worth $21,765. His winnings on turf aggregate $112,390. of which $85,240 was earned this year. Shortly after the Belmont stakes the speedy son of Commando-Cinderella pulled up lame and, try as he could. Trainer Rowe has been unable to get the colt to the post and yesterday Mr. Keene's orders to ship Peter Pan to the Castleton farm in Kentucky were car ried out, and Peter Pan Is now nearly at the end of his journey and will not be seen- in colors again this season. "Peter Pan's case is not altogether hopeless, but he will not stand training any more this season, but he may come back to the races next year," said Train er Rowe after the champion 3-year-old of the eastern turf had been sent on his Journey home. "He needs a rest, after which the lame leg may grow strong and permit his training next year. Of course, he might have eventually recovered this fall, but again he might have broken down hope lessly and he is too valuable a horse to take a chance with and rest is the surer course to pursue." Sir Huron, which one time was looked upon as the best 3-year-old in the west and which on one or two occasions raced Sysonby almost to his limit, has also been retired by Trainer Coyne. He says the colt 4-year-old son of Falsetto has such a bad leg that he has been unable to get him to the post this year and therefore has concluded to retire him for the season and horsemen who have watched Trainer Coyne work with him do not believe the colt will ever race a train. It is said that William Garth, his owner, once wanted to match Sir Huon against Sysonby for $10,000. That was before the Keene horse reany De came the great horse that he turned out to. be. On form Sir Huon would never have had a chance with the big son of Melton-Optime. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Pittsburg 4. Boston 7. Boston. Aug. 22.

WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW: Hutchinson at Topeka. Webb City at Oklahoma City. Springfield at Wichita. Leavenworth at Joplin. Jack Forrester, the former Topeka twirler, came back to Topeka last night and will probably be given a chance in one of the games today. Jack has been playing with Johnstown until a few days ago. Forrester still belongs to De troit and was probably sent here to work with Mike Erwin who also belongs to the Tigers. Oklahoma Times-Journal: Billy White is fast recovering his cunning of old and his work during the past few weeks has easily placed him among the top notchers in this league. When White joined the team he was suffering from an attack of malaria. Yesterday he scored three runs in the second game and has a batting average of .500 out of four times at bat during both games. He stole to second and third bases with comparative ease. The Springfield team is due to have a new pitcher report here for duty today and if he arrives in time he may be used in one of the games this afternoon. He is Pitcher Westmoreland and he was one of the best pitchers on the staff of the Fort Smith team in the O. A. K. league prior to the disbanding of the team a few weeks ago. He comes here from his home in Brownfleld Texas. President Shinn of the Springfield team has disposed of First Baseman Tom Reed for $500. He will go to Shreve port. La., in the Southern league at the close of the present season. With the sale of Reed and Olmstead Shinn will realize quite a neat little sum. President Shively has- six regular um pires on his staff. As there are only three other games scheduled in the as sociation at the present time, the other three umpires must be having a great time while Topeka Is fighting to win games with amateurs to do the work. Oklahoma Times-Journal: Woods is slated for the major league when ever he can reach that time when he can steady himself in tight places. The Hutchinson lad has a swift ball that is puzzline- to the batsmen but he can not maintain his great speed throughout the game. Just now the question which is wor rying Captain Abbott Is where to get an outfielder, to take the place of Hurl burt who has left the team. It la doubtful whether Wooley will return this season. Not a word has been heard from him and it Is supposed that his brother is still too sick to leave. It is not unlikely that Landreth will aeain loin the team. Landreth is still the property of the local team al though he has Deen playing wren otner teams. The fans would be glad to see him perform in the outer gardens again. Dailv Oklahoman: Umpire O'Con- nell. who reached here in time to work In Sunday's game, is better than the average sent here by President Shive ly this year. O'Connell is firm in his rulings and brooks no back talk, but he has handed the .home team some bad ones in the three games ne nas taken Dart in. He was off on- balls and strikes yesterday and put Jack Pendry to the bad in the second game wnn two strikes that were away above his head. Almost every player on the team suffered aa a result of his decisions. Catcher Brennan of the Springfield team makes a promising showing be hind the bat. He handles himself well, makes a good receiver and has a good whip when it comes to shooting them to second. He also Knows now to hit the ball and although he failed to hit safely yesterday mets tne ban finuare. He is owned by tne fepring field team and In a few years they will be able to make some money oft his sale. Dailv Oklahoman: That Jack Love Is an improvement over Gus Wisser at second base becomes more evident. He is a surer fielder, as fast on hit balls and better at taking the throw at sec ond. Then his hitting is of untold value to the club at this stage. His strong shoulders land on the ball with terrific force and he is seldom fanned out. He fits into a hole that looked threatening for a time. TOOK BOTH OF 'EM Topeka Wins t Doable Header From Springfield. Second Goes Eleven" Innings Before Score Is Made. ABBOTT IS THE HERO. His Batling. Feature of Both Contests. Whole Team" Gingers Up and Plays Good Ball. Captain Spencer Arthur Abbott took charge of the Champs yesterday. The showing made is all that could be de sired and the-Topeka team with Cap tain Abbott at the-helm Is once again running high in the' popularity of the local fans. K: A WSMS-ST: ATE5 EXPOSITION CO. "Fatty" Clark Officiating as Umpire. By playing a great article of base ball and showing plenty of spice and ginger the rejuvenated Champions took both ends of the double header from the Midgets yesterday afternoon the second went eleven innings. The fact that the Midgets are in seventh place does not lessen the performance of the Champs a bit as the Midgets right now are playing a great game and putting up a game fight for every contest. Tne new acquisitions and management of the team have done wonders for the Midgets. The first contest was won by score of 3 to 2. It was a pretty game and stirred up the latent enthusiasm of the fans, which came to a climax In the second game which went eleven innings before it was definitely de cided in favor of the locals. The Champs had just completed the losing of three games to Webb City and Springfield and a few of the fans were a little bit leary that the Midgets would take the games yesterday. But they are now satisfied that Topeka has a god team. We aie now only about six games behind Oklahoma City for second place and wjth the team play ing like they did Mr Abbott yesterday there is no doubt that the-. team will finish well and net fall beow third place at the lowest.' Jack Halla was on the: '.rubber for the locals in the- opening game. Jack pitched his usual good game. His con trol was fine, not a man walked during the wnoie game; with but. two excep tions ho kept ms ruts well scattered, although the score'was close, he won his game with greater ease than is in dicated in the tabulation.

Both sides had men on bases in differ ent innings but: could not negotiate them around until the locals broke through the? Ice in the eleventh inning. Davis started the finish by a double to left center. Olson was able to pull off a neat sacri fice, sending Davis to third, and Cap tain Abbott brought in the tally by a nice hit to right field. The result of the two games has con vinced the fans of the wisdom in chang ing the management and there seems to be satisfaction all around. Abbott took hold of the team in great shape and the team played a peppery game all the way through. Abbott himself played a great game. In the first game he se cured two hits, each of which counted One of the Springfield players who seems to be making a great showing on this trip to Topeka is Clarence Cole, the former Topeka outfielder who played with the locals ror inree years. Cole is playing a great game in left field and in the opening game of the series he made a sensational catch and saved the game. He is hit ting well In every game and is play ing as good a game as any player on the Springfield team. Fattv Clark, the old Washburn player who umpired the second game vpsterdav has handed In his resigna tion to President Shively. It was all that Fattv could be persuaaea to ao to keep from resigning In the middle of the game. Who will umpire today is not yet known. Manager Shinn of Springfield has twr farms, one at nom ana tne otner a few miles from Oklahoma City. He has Just completed a big flat at Springfield. A year ago yesterday Topeka took double header from the Midgets on the Springfield grounds. The first rum a wes won oy a score or 3 to I and the second game, which was only a five Inning contest, was won by a score of 1 to 1. Jack Forrestor pitched both games. Joplin News-Herald: In sliding to second base yesterday in the seventh inning Fillman strained himself badly and was forced to retire from the game after he had plucklly endeav ored to continue playing. He may be out of the game for a number -of days. Persh was taken from left and put in Fillman's garden, while- Army trotted nut from th player's bench and took the place of Persh.

He kept his hits scattered more than the Republican vote in Mississip pi and the plate was never in any great danger of being crossed. He got away minium, nis usual dose or Dad luck in tne nnal innines and won his came. Umpire Ed Heck threw un his 1ob so that the crowds had to be treated to a dose of amateurish nerformanoes. Fatty Clark, the old Washburn foot ball player, and SheeD Lvtle worked in the first game and Clark worked bv himself in the second game. In the early stages of the game his judgment was woefully deficient, but towards the ena ot tne game his eyes got better on balls and strikes. He made a couple of rank decisions In which Cole was the victim. Once Cole was caught napping on of second by an umpirical decision when Stevie Ragan said there was enough room between himself and Cole to drive a hayrack. Another time Cole was caught off first. Springfield started out to the good in the first game, getting a run across in the second inning. With two down Murray singled and tole second, after which he crossed the rubber on Smith's single to center field. In the fifth the locals forged ahead. Bunton drew a walk with no one down and went to second on Halla's sacrifice. Davis doubled and Bunton trotted home. Olson went out but Abbott doubled and oeni uavis nome. The visitors managed to pun together enough to tie the score in the eighth. Murray singled and went to second on Smith's sacrifice. A double by Steven son sent Murray home. The game was won In the last half of the eighth. Abbott again pulled off a hit and reached second on Erwin's sacrifice. After Runkel flew out to Cole, Ragan saved the day with a single WJJ.n scoreJ Captain Abbott. The second game was one of the most exciting games pulled off on the local pounds in many a day. Several times I both teams seemed to be about to win j the game but Jones and Kaufmann who Runkle Makes a Stinging Bare Handed Stop. in the run getting and in the second game he pulled off three safe ones and the last one decided the game. Runkel won lots of applause in the first game by making a long running catch of a foul in his bare hand. In the second games Jones pulled off the best stunt in thfl fipldinBT line. In the nintn inning Cuthbert started off with a life on Ol son's error. Risley was trying to pull nff anmethine- and hit a liner right at Jones. Peewee handled it with ease and caught Cuthbert off first completing a double. Tonneman. the visiting catcher. In the first game was hurt by running into the grandstand but pluckily continued in the game. Another double contest is on this ar- ternoon.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1907. RAILR0AD NEWS. Missouri Pacific Iron Moun tain Extensive Improvements. Six Hundred Miles of Track Itelaid in Two Years. SEVERAL EXTENSIONS. New .Freight Cars Received for the Autumn Traffic. Other Items of Interest Railway People. to St. Louis, Aug. 22. The Missouri Pacific and Iron .Mountain system used 40.000 tons of eighty-five pound steel rails in reconstruction work la the year ended on June 30, 1906, and the same quantity in the previous year. In the present fiscal year at least as much new rail will be put down on the various lines comprising the system. Tho rail used in a year, 40,000 tons, is sufficient to relay 300 track miles, or to build a road from St. Louis to Kansas City. In two years 600 miles of track have been relaid. .The company used 2,600.000 new ties last year, and contracted for the delivery of 2.700.000 new ties this year, making a total of 5. 300, 000 in two years. Half of the ties ordered this year have been delivered, and the remaining part is being received week after week. The delay in getting the ties was due to rain in Arkansas, where the white oak Is obtained. As fast as they are delivered the management will make additional improvements. The reconstruction work also Includ ed the setting of 100 miles of new track joints. For handling the autumn traffic the system has received 9,000 new freight cars and 35 new locomotives. The Gould connecting lines in the southwest and the west, the Texas Pacific, and the Denver Rio Grande, have in commission 7,000 new freight cars and 135 new locomotives. Most of the new cars and locomotives are in service, and all will be in com mission by the middle of September. The system has done considerable work in the last twelve months on new lines and extensions. Probably the most important operations have been in the southern Illinois coal min ing district. The Coal Belt Electric has been ex tended from Herrin, a distance or 4.395 feet to a connection with the Herrin railway. The Herrin John son City has been completed from Herrin to Johnson City, a distance of 4.5 miles. The Marion Harrlsburg has been extended from the Coal Belt Electric to Harrisburg. a distance of 1.95 mile. The Marion Johnson-City, a con tinuation of the Marion Harris burg. has been extended from Marion 5.8 7 miles, toward Johnson City. As has been stated In The Repub lic, the Missouri Pacific" Iron.Mourr; tain will haul 3,000.000 to 5,000.00(J tons of coal a year from the Cartar vllle district in Illinois to points In the southwest, the west and the north west. The Wabash Southern has been extended from Ziegler to Benton. In order to increase the facilities for moving trains and handling freight attention ha.i been given to passing track and sidings. Between Little Rock and Bald Knob and between Bald Knob and Wynne grading for five passing sidings has been finished. Between Hoisington and Pueblo grad ing has been finished for nineteen passing sidings, each 3.500 feet long. At Dupo yards, opposite South St. Louis. 21.61 miles of new track has been laid. These yards will, when completed, have tracks covering an area of two miles wide and four miles long. In the yards 14.87 miles of track were ballasted. Besides grad ing work and the establishment of a drainage system, a coaling station.- an eighteen-stall engine house, a power house and a hotel for employes have been completed this year at Dupo. The Gurdon Fort Smith has been completed from Antoine, on the Ar kansas Southwestern, 39.57 miles to a point near Black Springs, through Pike and Montgomery counfies. The Eudora and Gilbert branch has been completed from Eudora to Calvit, La., a distance of 37.47 miles. The gauge of the Natchez West ern has been changed from narrow to standard. A new brick car repair shop. 72x501 feet, has been completed at .Baring Cross. On the Springfield Southwestern, the White river divi sion and other lines ballasting is be ing done. New yards and stations have been constructed at several places. COMPLICATION'S ARISE. Big Lines Have Not Sent Representa tives to Confer With Trainmen. Den-er, Aug. 22.

SHOW NO RATE RESULTS. Interstate Commission In Dark as to wnat was Been Accomplished. Washington. Aug. 22. Whether the nepourn iniereiaie commerce act, in WY year, nas re suited in a general reduction i. crease in transportation rates on rail roads, seems beyond the power of the iiiiersiau! tuiiinicrce commission's clerical lorce iu determine. The national or interstate nmnn.i tion is naturally a. greater problem to handle, especially since 500 to 600 tariffs may be filed in a sins-le rtnv covering 2,000 to 3,000 commodities eacn. At the headquarters of the commis sion it was learned today that nothing but the mere entry of the fact that a larin is n.'J. is made or record there, and that, therefore, it would be im possible to figure out an average as between reductions and increases of freight rates. The commission, therefore, after al most a year's operation of the new law. are almost as much in the dark as to general results, though, of cour:V there are the numerous decisions. handed out almost daily, when the members of the commission are here and in session decisions either lower ing or approving or increasing a rate. CITS OUT ELEVATOR CHARGE. Missouri Pacific Takes Important Step on Reconsigned Grain Shipments. Wichita, Kan.. Aug. 2 2. On and after September 10 the Missouri Pa- cin railway will receive shipments of grain for Wichita that may be recon- signed to other points without going inrougn tne elevator. In other words. it means that there will be no elevator charges on grain reconsisrned at Wich ita. There is no doubt but that the Other roads will act promptly on this new rate and make a similar reduc tion. This new rate will have consid erable effect on grain shipments in tended for export, and it is probable that it is the manner in which the rail ways are interpreting the decision of the interstate commerce commission in the suit brought by Attorneys A. E. Helm and S. S. Ashbaugh of this city against the Santa Fe and Rock Island railways. What effect this new rate will have on the local elevators Is only a matter or surmise, itie local grain merchants are large buyers and shippers of ex port grain by way of Texas coast points and it is very likely they have connections with elevators at those points. FROM DEXVER TO COAST. Prominent Kansans Interested In New Big Railroad Project, Denver, Aug. 22. A syndicate of Denver and Colorado capitalists is be ing iormea nere to build an air line from Denver to the Pacific coast, with Seattle as the terminus, with a capital or iz,uu.uuu oacK or tne enterprise Such a line would bring Denver within 48 hours of that great Occidental ship ping point, Seattle. It will also link Denver with New Orleans and Galves ton. Wall street is not to be asked to assist in financing tile enterprise. More than a million of the capital has al ready been pledged. Judge John D. Milliken, of McPher fon. Kan.; ex-Senator W. A. Harris of Kansas, and Sidney J. Kent of Lincoln. Neb., are prominent in the enterprise. as is tne Denver, Larimer North western Railroad company, of which C. S. Johnson, of New York, is president This line has an almost completed right of way from Denver to Seattle. R. H. Dwyer, formerly of the Mis souri Pacific and Illinois Central, has already been named as general man ager. COMMISSION'S WIDE POWER. Reorganized Georgia Body Given Full Control Over Railroads. Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 22. Governor Smith will reorganize the state railroad commission. Two new members will be named, and it is reported that Pope Brown will be made chairman of the reorganized body. Powers added to the commission by the recently passed public utility bill clothe the body with authority not only to regulate passenger and freight rates upon steam railroads, but the rates on street car lines, the business of cotton compresses, telegraph and telephone bills, express rates and busi ness, charges for steam heating in cities like Atlanta: in fact, the com mission will hold sway over every pub lic utility corporation doing business in the state. Its orders are final. Cor porations can not go into the courts over the head of the commission, heavy penalties being fixed for such at tempts. Minor Washington Notes. Washington, Aug. 22. Dr. J. T.

Buys Out the Independent Re finery at Paola THEN CLOSES UP SHOP. Refuses to Tate Products From the Field Wells. Leases Are Rendered Worthless as There Is No Market. Paola, Kan., Aug. 22. The Stand ard Oil company is said to be up to its old tricks in Kansas, and Paola is the field upon which it has used its meth ods this time. Recently the inde pendent refinery in this town was bought out by a new firm, and since then the local oil from the field has been reduced from the independent price to that paid by the Standard In other Kansas towns, and the pumping station on the Sugar creek pipe line located at Paola has been abolisnea. The greatest comDlaint made by local oil producers is that the new oil company refuses to buv the crude oil In a hundred tanks in the Paola field the oil is standing ready to be deliv ered to the refinery. Since the market has been abolished the leases are worthless. The Standard, it is said has caused a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Investors who put their money into the de velopment of this field. Three years ago when the Stand ard Oil company was paying $1.32 per barrel for Kansas oil and causing the territory to be developed, the Paola field entered into the list of the high grade oil producing centers. The town had on a general boom, caused by the incoming investors. Derricks dotted every farm In Bull creek val ley. The Sugar creek pipe line passed through the city of Paola, carrying its 40,000 barrels of Kansas oil every day to the Kansas City refinery. A pump ing station was erected to receive the oil from the local leases. It was claimed that this field produced the highest grade of oil in ths state. Attracted bv the state laws protect ing independent refineries, one of these independent industries was built at Paola. A number of gentlemen put their money into the concern, and they paid ten cents more per barrel than the Standard ror tne local on Several of the producers sold their en tire output of oil to the Independent refinery, and the rest sold tneirs to the Standard pumping station. Then the prices or crude on were reduced by the Standard. The Paola field suffered like every other com munity of producers in the state. These conditions continued tne same until this sprine- when the Paola independent refinery was sold to new parties. The new owners came rrom Whitinsr. Ind. The laborers came from Whiting, Ind., and the man agers and chemists-came from Whit inc. Ind. The Standard's largest on rennery Is at Whitine. Ind. Immediately following the purchase of the independent refinery, the Standard Oil company took ita pump ine station away from Paola. This left no market for the local oil field except at the refinery. Then the re finery refused to take the oil. Coon nearly every lease in tne neia everv tank is full of oil. The wells continued to pump until the supply of tanks ran out, and then they stopped. It ruins an oil well to stop pumping, even for a week, and that is what has haDDened to this field. It Is ruined. Following tne cnange in tne owner ship of the refinery stock, a great many improvements were made in the equipment. These are nearly com nlfited. and they will make a refinery of four times tne capacity oi me um one. The refinery Is located within twenty-five feet of the great Standard pipe line, and it is said that in a rew weeks this will be tapped, and it will be refining oil from southern Kansas and Oklahoma. The capacity of the Snrar creek refinery has been over taxed lately. Meanwhile the Paola re finery has been supplied with oil from the southern Kansas field shipped in tank cars. It has been refined and then barreled. The local oil producers in the Paola field can do nothing except take the result created by the Standard They complain that the Standard has ruined the field, and tnat tne Hun dreds of thousands of dollars which were spent in developing It, Is a loss. No cause is given for the action of the oil trust. FOR A PRODUCE EXCHAXGE. Independence to Hare a Market That Will ray Casn. 1 a A ia nr"ftiort at o tori t r a O LIS.

The manufacturers of Grape-Nuts keep in thi3 food the valuable phosphate of potash which unites with albumen and water in the human digestive organs, and directly feeds the delicate brain and nerve centres. White bread lacks this important elment, for the phosphate of potash in the brown sells of the wheat berry, and the white flour miller must throw it out, because it will not make white bread. Then, too, all the starch in Grape-Nuts is changed in its manufacture to a form of sugar, which is very easy of digestion. This delicate food needs no cooking. It is ready for instant use, and makes a crisp, toothsome dish of decidedly unique flavour. It possesses high value as a strength-making food, wel come alike to athlete, brain-worker, and invalid.

United States District At torney Elstner has filed suit at Sh revs port against the Kansas City Southern railroad to collect $1,300 for 13 aliased violations of the safety appliance acts. It is charged that on Interstate ship ments the railroad operated cars with hand-irons missing, while on others the coupling apparatus was out of repair. Railroad men believe that the company will have to pay the $100 fine In each case, as it will likely be impossible-to produce evidence showing that the Urol was not violated. PRICES ARE HIGHER, But the Quality of Cavalry Horses urows l oorcr. Washington. Aug. 22. General A. W.

Uncle Joe Cannon not only wants the country to stand pat. but ho also- wants It to stand TJnole Joe. It may be true that Attorney General Bonaparte Is to resign, but he evidently has not heard the news. Neither is there any longer room for dispute as to where Secretary Taft etands on tariff revision. A "general" of Coxey's army Is dead, but it Is not announced that he will be buried with military honors. Now watch the standpatters who wih a seat in the Taft band wagon, begin to hedge concerning tariff revision. If Taft Is nominated for president, the Republican party will stand commit ted to Immediate tariff revision. There is every reason to suspect that if Carr Taylor were now state railroad attorney, there would be something do ing along the two-cent fare line. President Roosevelt is in favor of re ducing swollen "fortunes. Judge Landis thinks he knows a good way to make a start towards reducing them. There was a heavy frost all over the northwest Tuesday night. Now watch those farmers who were misled into go ing to Canada, trail back to Kansas. Mr. Harrlman denies that he said to a reporter: "All the railroads in the country would be mine if I could get control of them." Perhaps the reporter vas a mind reader. A southern editor points out that a good way for the Standard to avoid paying big fines is to quit violating the law. But where would the Standard get any fun out of that? Still, there are several million peo ple who are not in the least affected by the telegraph strike. They never eent a telegram in their lives and pro bably will never want to. This idea of putting trust magnates in Jail for violating the law is by no means new. Kansas did it successfully months ago. Let the federal govern ment follow the example of Kansas. Colonel Watterson sorrowfully an nounces that Kentucky "is the worst governed state in the Union." Why not have the colonel debate that ques tion -with Judge Ben Lindsey, who has Ideas of his own on that subject. A funny thing about this primary fight is how many politicians who have always opposed a direct primary, are now in favor of one, "if it is properly safeguarded." But you can't properly safeguard it enough to suit them. It appears that Mr. Bryan has also been practicing the clothes-swiping business, concerning which he makes charges against President Roosevelt. Taft says "Jimmie" Garfield originated the federal license idea, which Colonel Bryan is now advocating. Those Kansas gentlemen who noted with pleasure that La Follette Is not cutting as much ice in Kansas this year as he did last, evidently overlooked the fact that a big crowd stayed four hours and ten minutes through his speech at Lincoln Park and were sorry when he stopped- James Monroe Miller dodged when he was asked if he would support Taft for president. "It Is a long time," he ob served, "until we will select a man to take charge of the affairs of the coun try." Is Congressman Miller also seek ing a committee chairmanship at the hands of Uncle Joe Cannon? Wall Street is having a terrible tlm& about the shortage of money, but the rest of the country isn't. As a matter of tact, the legitimate business of the coun try is using its money for legitimate purposes and Wall Street cannot get hold of It to speculate with. And Wall Street la feeling extremely blue as a rasnit. SOME TARIFF FALLACIES. In tha current issue of American industries, a New Tork art director advocates the removal of the tariff from works of art, and the establish ment of a high protective tariff on automobiles. He asserts that the automobile industry needs protec tion and that a tariff of 100 to 200 per cent on the machines would raise revenue' enough to offset: the admis sion of art treasures free. The editor of American Industries approves this idea, but he unwitting ly explodes It in the succeeding para graph. He asserts that "with a pro hibitive tariff on foreign machines the wealthy Americans would soon turn to their home manufacturers, and then it would be but a step to European trade." A "prohibitive tariff" brings in no revenue to the government whatever. It effectually shuts out all foreign goods so that none are imported, and hence no duties are paid. But does tha automobile industry really need "protecting"? It is gen erally understood that American au tomobile factories are having hard work keeping up with their orders, As a matter of fact, this country ex ports more automobiles than it irn porta. Next to France, It exports more automobiles than any other country in the world. This specific question, however, is one that does not especially concern the average citizen, who is too poor to afford an automobile. It is simply a question whether one set of well-to-do citizens shall be aided by the govern ment in making a tremendous profit off of other well-to-do citizens, but it illustrates the principle. The demand for automobiles has thus far enabled the manufacturers to make a good profit, tariff or no tariff. The subject of watches, however, is one that Interests most Americans. "In Switzerland, the home of the watch," says this same art director, I found an American watch concern doing a business of vast proportions. The watches have stood the test and are giving satisfaction and the company finds its foreign trade very profitable." And yet representatives of the watch trust insist on keeping a high tariff on watches for the purpose of keeping out Swiss time-pieces. This same watch trust pays the cost of ex porting its watches abroad and sells them in competition with Swiss watches right where the latter are made. But a high tariff enables it to hold up the American people for a price far higher than it sells the same watches for in Switzerland. "Articles of domestic manufacture," says American Industries, "are cheap er and better than the European." Why then should the trusts be given tariffs to enable them to rob the American people? THE MARCH OF REFORM. This movement to take the means of government out of the hands of corporations and machines and give it again to the people themselves has swept across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Oregon has made distinct progress along that line, and now California is preparing for a mighty effort to throw off the South ern Pacific yoke. For many years the Southern Pa cific's political machine has dominated California politics. With the aid of Abe Ruef and other politicians, it con trolled the last Republican state con vention. A mighty protest went up, however, that resulted in a vastly de creased majority for the Republican nominee for governor. Now Califronia Is to be redeemed. A Lincoln Roosevelt Republican League has been formed to break tha hold which the Southern Pacific has on California politics, and this league is sweeping the state. Its avowed ob jects are: The emancipation of the Republican party in California from domination by the political bureau of the Southern Pacific Railroad company and allied interests, and the reorganization of the state committee to that end. The selection of delegates to the next Republican convention, pledged to work for the nomination of a candi date known to be truly committed to and Identified with President Roose velt's policies.. and to oppose the nom ination of any reactionary styled "safe and sane" candidate by the great cor porate interests. The election of a free, honest and capable legislature, truly representa tive of the common interests of the people of California. The pledging of all delegates to con ventions against the iniquitous prac tice of "trading" whereby political bosses effect nominations by bargain and sale and the enactment of legisla-. uon penalizing such practices. The enactment by the next legisla ture of such laws as will give voters an advisory voice in the election of United States senators until such time as an amendment to the national con stitution shall make that voice abso lute, which amendment we favor. The pledging of candidates for the legislature to the enactment of such a primary election law as shall afford the party voter a direct voice in the selection of party candidates. Leading Republicans assert that If the party expects. to be" successful in the next two state campaigns it must adopt a platform along these lines and carry out Its purposes. In practically every state of tho Union there is either a movement of this kind on foot, or else it has been successful as in Wisconsin. THE OTHER 25 PER CENT. Railroad' Commissioner Kanavel Is quoted as saying that 75 per cent of the traveling public of Kansas is al ready getting the two cent fare by means of the mileage books. It is a well known fact that the long distance travel has for some time been carried at a low rate. Therefore only a small portion of the traffic pays three cents a mile, but it is the class that can least afford to do it. If the flat rate were reduced it is doubtless true that many people who do not travel at all now, would get the traveling habit to a certain extent. And If 75 per cent of the local traffic and most of the through traffic is already going for two cents. It will certainly not affect the revenues of the railroads greatly to give the poorer people who travel little the benefit of the two cent rate also. The railroad ara cartainly entitled to .fair treatment in this matter, but the public would like some facts and figures concerning It. No complaint Is made that the mileage book haa cut down the railroads' profits although the mileage book makes much add! tional work and if 75 -per cent' of the traveling public in Kansas is now us ing them, certainly giving the other 25 per cent of the local .traffic the benefit of the reduced rate will not break the railroads. .Missouri and Nebraska, as well as numerous other states, are now enjoy ing the two cent rate as an experiment. If it is a success in Nebraska there will be no possible excuse why Kansas should not have it also, but it may be a long time before any decision is reached in Nebraska. And it is barelv possmie tnat the two cent rate would be all right in Kansas even if it is not in Nebraska. At any rate, why should not the Kansas railroad board determine the matter for Itself? The legislature last winter was told that the board had this power, and this was one reason why a flat two cent fare law was not insisted on. One would suppose that a wide-awake railroad commissioner would make it a point to get in forma tlon along this line as a matter of course in the discharge of his duties. i JOURNAL ENTRIES W hile this department knows nothing of the issues involved in the late con test between the Evening Muck Rake ami me Morning .Lickspittle, belonging, as n ooes, to tne Muck Rake party, it rejoices that the high and mighty prin ciples for which the latter has been fighting, have won a ge-lorious victory over the groveling and unworthy ideas auvaiiceu Dy me Lickspittle. vvniie tne statement made by the spirit of L.

At South Haven where the mail order business is booming a citizen consulted the Scars-Roebuck catalogue which oc cupies the place formerly reserved on the parlor table for the family Bible or the red plush photograph album and sent for some canned tomatoes. When they came they were rotten. He took them to a leading grocer of the town and tried to exchange tfiem for fresh goods. The story got out on him. A few days later he fell down while walking on South Haven's pavement which is sadly in need of repair. To a woman passer-by ho opened up on the condition of things municipal. She answered short and sharp: "No wonder things are bad with men like you doing nothing for the town except find fault. If you want a new pavement why don't you order one from Sears-Roebuck?"

THE TRUSTOX GORED. Some of our exchanges are sheddinsr tears over what they term the exces sive and unreasonable fine Judge Lan dis imposed on the Standard Oil. Let us see how this is. According to the evidence the Standard distributes an nually about $80,000,000 in dividends, from 30 to 40 per cent on the invest ment. The fine assessed against the Standard will take only about one third of the net earnings for a year. leaving a clear profit of from fifty to sixty millions, from 20 to 30 per cent on the investment. Now a short time ago we heard of a laborer who opened anotner man's letter; the letter had no money in it. yet the opener was ar rested and fined $100 and costs, amounting in all to $150. This man naa no income but the product of his labor which amounted to less than $400 per year. The fine took from him more than one-third of his small earnings, and left him a bare pittance to live on, yet we never saw a line in any of the organs of the trusts con demning the Judge for imposing an ex cessive fine. It seems to make all the difference in the .world whether the animal gored is a corporation animal or just a plain scrub. Holton Re corder. WEBB McNALL.

The new attorney to the railroad board, Frank Grattan, may be able to make a good record In office, but in advising the board not to inaugurate a two-cent fare he chose a mighty un popular way of beginning. Lawrence World. FROM OTHER PENS SAFER AND. BETTER WAY. It is encouraging to learn that the president and his attorney general are entirely agreed that the most ef fective way to make the corporations obey the laws is to punish the head officials by terms in the penitentiary and not merely assess fines upon the corporations." Such a policy would be far better for the business of the country, and would be likely to secure a more wholesome respect for the laws than that which has thus far been pursued. with the main result of creating a financial situation closely bordering on a panic. Not only would the moral effect be better, but the material effect would be less damaging. What happens when a rich corporation is fined? Usually an appeal, with prolonged de lay and an uncertain issue. At the best, when a fine is paid. It comes out of innocent stockholders in equal pro portion with guilty officials. And it is often recouped from the public by in creased charges or advanced prices. Bo3ton Hera:d. BEAUTY FOR CITIES. A city is not built In a day, nor in a hundred years. The great sight places of Europe have been slowly and la boriously wrought out by far-sighted men, and are admirable only after many centuries. But American cities have money and tho experience of Europe to guide them, and now, with the awakened instinct of civic beauty urging them on, they may accomplish the wonders of Paris and Berlin and Vienna possibly even of Florence and Rome in a period short in com parison with the term of a city's life.

It is the true story of the early idfe of Francis J.. Heney, who prosecuted Schmitz and Ruef in San Francisco and the land thieves in Oregon and elsewhere. Heney is a fighter who has fought, not only for his life but for his principles. Mr. Steffens' first article might therefore be called the awakening of a physically courageous man into a morally courageous man. No reader of this first article by Mr. Steffens can doubt that Heney un auoui as mucn pnysical "nerve" as any man could have. Story after i set aown snowing the man s grit.

At the conclusion of nr Handy waited outside for Heney and with his friends about him, muttered insulting things. One day he threat ened the Judge himself in the street; but he didn't shoot.

"And the very thing we needed those de canters and the old-fashioned plates and the brass candlesticks and the electrolier, and "Yes, yes," admitted her father, hastily. "We certainly couldn't get along without them." The twinkle in his eyes escaped Camilla. "But what have you found so remarkable this morning?" "A samovar, daddy. And so cheap! Here 'tis! Listen!

"Not till this evenin', miss," replied the genial blue-overalled Pat. "Will ye call agin later?" "Oh, no," gasped Camilla. "I don't want to see him at all. I just wanted to be sure he was out. Will you show I me tho things?" "Sur-re, miss. Come r-rlght along. Up wan flight, miss." Once inside the long, spacious studio Camilla gave a little cry of delight.

Such a wealth of soft, rich rugs, such rows and rows of exquisitely bound books, such beautiful pictures, and finally keeping guard over the fire place, such a queer fat little ivory god! Camilla laughed aloud at his funny wrinkled face. "Who tied this green ribbon round his neck?" she asked, turning suddenly to Pat. "Th wife," he replied glibly. "Th wife!" echoed Camilla. "Why, I thought the owner was a bachelor?" Pat slapped his knee and then put a restraining hand over his mouth. "Excuse me, miss, 'twas me own wife I was m'anin'." "Oh," said Camilla. "I see."

Camilla, doubtful as to whether It was the graven image or the bachelor that claimed "the wife's" solicitude, hastened to change the subject. "I must be hurrying," she an nounced. "Where is the samovar that was advertised? That's what I came specially to see." "The copper tay-pot? I'll fetch It fer ye." Pat brought It forth from a cornet and placed It in all its shining glory on the large center table for Camilla's inspection. "Oh, what a beauty!" she exclaimed. "How much does fie want for It?" "Will, he mintloned quite a high pr-rlce fer it this marnin', but I r-reckon he'd let you 'ave It at yer own flgger." "Would he sell it for $16, do you think?" "Shure, an' be a lucky mon at that Where will ye have it sint?" While Camilla was hunting In her purse for a card, a click in the lock of the outside aoor maae ner jump. The bachelor! What should she do? "Shur-re, sir-r," said Pat, "ye'r home airl tonight. Here's a lady customer. I've been sellin' her th sim over," and with that the sly one slid out of the door, closing it firmly be hind him. "Pat showed you how the samovar works. I suppose?" asked the bache lor, courteously. He wasn't at all sure that he knew himself, but he must find some excuse for detaining this radiant apparition a moment. "Yes, no! I mean, I musn't stay any longer," stammered Camilla. "Pat's a dolt!" sputtered the bache lor. "I told him If he sold the, samo var to be sure to tell the purchaser how to use st. I'll "Oh, don't scold him, please," inter rupted camina. "He's really very nice. He was awrully kind about the samovar. He said you wanted quite a high price for it, but he let me have It for $15. I hope It's all right" The bachelor swallowed hard. "Of course it's all right," he an swered cheerfully. "I'm glad to hear that some one has got the be.t of Pat once. He needs all the beating down that's coming to him." Then the while the bachelor deftly filled the little pipe of the samovar with charcoal, to himself he kept re peating, "I'll make her stay as long as I can. Isn't she bewitching? I'll make her stay as long as I can. l u make her Camilla broke In upon tnis snent chant of adoration. "I shouldn't think you coma Dear to nor. -aiUn it" she saia. giving tne samovar an appreciative little pat "Well. I don't exactly line to, ne admitted. "It's a sort of Companion when you're all alone. But I'm tired Of living alone goin to srive n up. "But your wife vrill certainly love f have it?" ventured Camilla, pretend ing to be absorbed in the charcoal de monstration. My wife:" th bachelor rainy i shouted. "Pardon me, ,I'm not so lucky. I'm just going back to my old home for a change." "And leave this beautiful studio and sell all these wonderful things?" com mented Camilla. "I think you're crazy. I'd just adore to live In a place like this." The bachelor watched her flushed cheeks and her sparkling eyes. He had an inspiration. "Oh, by the way," he suggested, with well-assumed carelessness, "I suppose you told Pat where to send the samovar?" Camilla laughed a bit shyly. "Well, no, I didn't. You see, I, was Just hunting for a card, when I heard you unlocking the door. That scared me so that I forgot all about the card. Here it is." The bachelor glanced at it politely then looked at it again more closely. Could he believe his eyes? "Camilla Sheldon!" he exclaimed. "Why, I know your father! Let's shake hands. I'm Robert Demarest." "Oh, yeu can't be!" gasped Ca milla. "Why, he's a stupid old bache lor, uaaay s going to onng mm noma to dinner with him tonight." "I'm the man," affirmed Robert laughing. "You've sized me up all right." Camilla covered her burning cheeks with her little white gloved hands. "Oh, how can I look you in the face again?" she cried. "That's the question for me to ask." Robert retorted. Camilla lowered her hands, but her eyes were still downcast. "You won't tell father, will you, Mr. Demarest?" "All right," assented Bob. "Mum's the word, if you usav so. Miss Ca milla." When the door had closed after her Robert stood looking down thought fully at the samovar. "No going back home for you, old man," he solilo quized. "She'd 'adore i.c live In a place like this!' Think of it!" He rang the bell for Pat. "See here. Pat."- he directed, "1 want'you to wrap up this teapot and take it around to this address, tso quick about it." He handed Pat Camilla's card, ana at the same time slipped a coin into his hand. The astonished Fat allowed no grass to grow under his feet. w m m w At the first opportunity after din ner Camilla cornered Robert Demar est. "It was most thoughtful of you to send the samovar over tonight," she began hurriedly. "But I forgot to tell you this afternoon that I hadn't paid Pat for It, and now that I've thought It over, Mr. Demarest, I don't see how I can take It from you at any price." "Then let me give It to you, begged Rob, "Sh! There comes daddy. No, I'm going to confess everything to him af ter you're gone. And then you two can settle the matter between you." It was several months after the dis covery of the samovar "ad" that Ca milla, seated on a low divan in front of an open fire in her father's big rambling library, looked up at Bob suddenly and asked. "Which got the best of the bargain. Rob, you or dad? Aren't you ever going to tell me?" I've asked you and asked you." "I'm going to tell you right now," Rob declared. His tone was so serious that Camilla was almost frightened. "Your father said I might give the samovar to you on one condition," he announced. "Well, of all things," protested Ca milla. "Without even asking me if a, "Wait a minuter interrupted -Rob. "That was Just the condition. If, when I asked you, you would have me. Ca milla, will you marry me? You know you once said you would adore to live Camilla burled her face In a sofa cushion. "You dirt say so, Camilla," he re peated. "Won't you say so again, dear?" "I suppose that means," said Ca milla, lifting her mischievous face, "no Robert, no samovar." Robert didn't even smile, but looked into Camilla's eyes searchlngly. "Well." she sighed, "I guess you've gilt the best of the bargain, Rob. Pat will be pleased." Whereupon Rob stopped her saucy mouth with kisses. (Copyrighted, 1907, by Jessie Morgan.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THUESD AY EVENING,, -AUGUST 22, 1907. S ONE OF THEIR OWN Kansas Trust Busters Hold Conference Today. John Dawson Delivers the"Key note" Address. 1VIIY THEY ARE HERE. Study Needs and Wants of the State. County Attorneys Will Receive Necessary Instructions. "Let us commune together as do the counsel for the lawless free-booting combinations which violate the laws of the state. Let uss compel obedience to law by each and every one of the biggest trusts that evr gambled In the products of human employ. The time has come when the law officers of the ?t;te must as profoundly study its needs, want-, cares, rights, interests, prerogatives, remedies and sovereignty as do the wiz ard Jurists who employ their time and talents to circumvent its law and flout its government." The above extract from the paper of John S. Dawson, assistant attorney general of Kansas, is the "keynote" of the conference of the co-.inty attorneys of Kp.rsas which is in progress today behind clored doors in the supreme court room. The morning session commenced at 10 o'clock, and about 50 county attorneys were in attendance. Later in the day the attendance was materially increased by late arrivals. The object of the conference is, in a general way. to instruct ihe county at torneys in the extent of their powers i:i the enforcement of the antitrust and prohibitory llqv.or laws of the state Most of ths time or the session is being devoted to a general discussion nf th-i existing conditions, End the remedies which the county attorneys have au thority to employ. The State's Prerogative Writs. One of the papers presented to the conference was written by John Dawson, on the subject of "The State's Prerogative Writs." In this paper Mr. Dawson discussed the remedies which ere opened to law officers under the old common law of England, which is In corporated as a part of the statutes of Kansas so far as it Is applicable. Mr. Dawson said in part: "The great prerogative writs issuabl at the instance of the state's attorney Kansas are quo warranto, mandamus, habeas corpus, injunction and the in quisitorial subpoena. Habeas corpus needs no consideration here for by Eng lish statutes and Kansas statutes that writ has been so much broadened and Improved since common law times, i3su able as it is at the Instance of a private relator that the cases are rare where the law officers of the state need con corn themselves with it. Indeed, I fanc that because these latter days have seen rersonal liberty so much broadened through modern modifications of the writ of habeas corpus, that that fact 'has given us-a complacent conceit that the wisdom of the old law could assist us but little in the problems of twen tieth century government. "This is a great mistake. The student of government, and every law officer of the state must be such, can nna striking parallel between the struggles of the Plantaeenets and Tudors for kingly supremacy over the feudal barons, the multitude of misnamed re ligious orders and unwarranted usurpa tions of local corporate entities, with the corporate barons, and commercial -com' binations with which modern state sov ereignties are called upon to deal. "While Plantagenet and Tudor strug gled for kingly aggrandizement, they achieved a principle of government highly applicable to modern conditions although the sceptre has passed from their hands to the sovereign body of our citizenship at large. Ana the preroga tive writs remain, although they issue In the name of kingless commonwealths cf which the Tudor lawyers never h"?ard, The lawless baron of England, the manorial lord, the myrid of ecclesiastical orders all of whom, more or less, set government at defiance, -were the out growth of the laxity or insufficiency of the government of that time. And our law-defying, franchise-usurping free booters are the outgrowth of the laxity or Insufficiency of the government of our time. Vast Power of County Attorneys. Perhaps it Is carrying coals to Newcastle for me to sav to this body The Fanner's "Wife Is very careful about her churn. She scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives It a sun bath to sweeten It. She knows that If her churn Is sour it will taint the butter that Is made In it. The stomach is churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes .foul all which is put into it? iV The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting cle ment. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any consider able number of thorn, indicate that you aro suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy liver with the usual accompanying indi gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant derangements. rhft bcgf, agent known ti mtat .r, an J conditions. arattegteJifrYTr g all the severalscliouls of med ic-al n7wfc Lave been skillLulla. ami h rnnTf? cjaiixaedUa'rJli.ri-f'S iinlfWq lrau5u, of lawyers that every county attorney has the same authority, as full, ade quate and complete, to -invoke the state's prerogative writs that is vested In the attorney general. Within his Jurisdiction the county attorney is the state's attorney, Ua law officer, and wherever the state Is interested he needs neither permission nor consent of any ulterior authority to prosecute or defend. There is no ulterior au thority. True, the attorney general may also institute or defend such a suit, and in certain cases, he must do so. Don't worry about lack of au thority. It is limitless. Aside from the decisions which are numerous, I happen to know the personal opinion of at least one member of the supreme court the Sage of Ottawa that the attorney general has all the powers of such officer at common law, and that means that the county attorneys of Kansas have like authority within their counties. The county attorney is the principal law officer of his court, and as courts have reserved with Jeal ous care their own common law pow ers, they will no more limit their law officers' powers than they will that of their bailiff or special marshal, lilts AH Corporations. "The more secretive and insidious encroachments upon the state's sover eignty, such as corporate usurpations, combinations in restraint of trade, and laws which reflect what Mr. Jerome characterizes as merely 'the moral yearnings of the rural communities.' i have received practically no attention at all. I do not refer to the railroads and Standard Oil. for the state's law officers, lawmakers, and. the sovereign citizenship have now for soma time been looking in their direction, and a developing solution of those particu lar matters is likely to transpire; but to the ten thousand other corporations, combinations and conditions which live, act and exist without the law, in defiance of it. and are conducted as if the law of the land were a mean and presumptuous thing, only to be tolerated for the occasional prosecu tion of a forger, a burglar or a horse thief these are the matters wnicn need our concern. I protest against this perennial spawning of corporations from the loins of the state. this raiding ana harrying and usurping of the state's franchises and privileges with not so much as by your leave to the com monwealth. Aside from banks, rail roads, insurance, and loan and trust companies, which are more or less sue cessfullv supervised by public officers, what visitation of corporations is exer cised by any public agency. The stae charter board Issues to any five men who apply and who pay in some nominal fees, hundreds of charters fvcrv vear. erantine the state's fran chises. liberties and privileges; ana turns loose these soulless, fictitious cornorate entities to prey upon the people without any supervision or visitation by any public officer or agency." The Inoulsitorlal Writs. Speaking of the inquisitorial law en acted at the last session of the legis lature, Mr. Dawson said: "The last of the state's prerogative writs which I will mention is the in nulsitorial subpoena issuable abso lutely at the demand of the state's at torney, and which summons before the judge of any court of general juris diction whoever the prosecuting attor ney hai reason to believe has knowl edge of the violation of the anti-trust laws of the state. It runs throughout the state and the humblest county at torney of the remotest county of the state may compel tne Diggesx trust magnate in the commonwealth to ap pear and produce any books or paper9 which"! do "or' may contain- evidence of the machinations of trusts or combines in his jurisdiction. This Inquisitorial subpoena is distinctly a modern Inven tion, although its prototype is readily recognized in the writs of star cham ber and in the grand jury systems of the older states. In its use and the investigations held under it, the trusts may have their attorneys present at the inquistion before the Judge; but tho examination is purely ex parte, and to use a colloquial figure of speech, such attorneys 'have no chips in the game.' The judge and h:s ministerial officers, the state's attor ney and the fellow on the witness stand aro the whole show. Gnvo an Immunity Bath. "Just a word of caution about the fellow on the witness stand, however. When you examine him, he is immune. I regret to say that I have had an unfortunate experience of this sort. I have had one pernicious trust promo ter, one of their most persistent hire lings, on tho witness stand, and thus gave him immunity; when, later, other and better evidence of the same gen eral character developed which would have been sufficient to send him to jail for forty years. But one male factor in jail mora or less is not st Important as the development of evi dence sufficient to tie up one trust with a perpetual injunction. Another important feature of the use of this prerogative of the state is that the investigation itself is often likely to break up the trust. The mere fact that it Is under official examina tion, and the consequent notoriety aria exposiure even if not sufficient to warrant a prosecution has a demor alizing effect upon the combine. The county attorney of one county a year or two ago issued inquisitorial sub poenas to investigate a millers' com bine of more or less gravity, and the upshot of the matter was a hasty dissipation of the combination. I would strongly urge the use of this state prerogative in dealing with local trusts m the different counties of the state. MRS. NATION'S NEW TURN Kansas Joint Smasher Opens War on the Masons. Mrs. Carrie Nation was In town last night and until 11 o'clock this morning when she left on the Santa Fe for oth er Kansas points where she will speak. She has Just concluded a five months' speaking tour of Missouri. Mrs. Nation was In a very happy frame of mina when seen by the State Journal man this morning and when asked what she thought of Kansas, said: "I am more than pleased. I have walked up and down the streets thanking God for the change that has come. The siege has been a long one. It has taken time for the seed which was planted several years ago, to grow, but it has at last born fruit." Mrs. Nation has started a new cru sade, this time, against the Masons. "The Masonic lodge Is the greatest en emy to the government that we have today," said she. "The oaths taken by every member foster treason and hos tility to the Christian religion." The work against Masonry is being carried on in The Hatchet whose columns are open to replies from Masonic circles. Mrs-. Nation offers $50 to any Mason who will make affidavit to a denial of her charges. After Mrs. Nation finishes her work at Delphos and Burlington, she is go ing back east to -attend to her enter prises there. She said: "My most im portant work back there at present is a hosrutal for curing drunkards, to be located in Washington, D. C. The hos pital will be equipped as soon as pos sible and all poor drunkards will be cured free of charge." In conclusion, she said: "The people of Kansas must keep at work with the hammer and the hatchet and destroy the great liauor evil if they wish to have a happy and prosperous state. Mrs. Nation Is in excellent health and as full of energy as ever. She car ries her years lightly, though her hair is considerably grayer than when she left Kansas. She is confident of the final triumph of prohibition throughout the country.

Nebraska Shippers Would Not Stand for an Advance. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 22. Just thirty minutes after Secretary .Whitten of the Commercial club had filed a pro test with the state railway commis sion against an advance from 25 cents to 40 cents in minimum charges on small shipments on the Burlington railroad he was informed by Secre tary Perkins of the commission that the rates had been nut back. The ad vance was made effective August 19 but news of it only reached the club today.

Great weeping and wailing prevails among the ranks of the main politi cians of the literary societies at Wash burn this fall. The faculty has issued an edict that there are to be no open ing receptions for new members. This will of course leave many homesick new students to wander unnoticed on the campus during the first few days, for not only has the reception been abolished but also no pressure is to be used to persuade the new student to place his or her heart with either so ciety. So that, where heretofore the little freshie has been made to feel at least until he has joined, that he is the most wonderful person in the world only it took the wisdom of the coller-e students to find out what his stupid home folks had overlooked, now he may roam the campus, homesick and neglected until the days arrive when the societies may solicit his membership.

Mrs. Catron has not been liv ing at home, alleging that she could not stand the mistreatment of her husband, but yesterday, while he was away, she got the children and brought them before the officers. County Attorney Schenck was called in to hear the story as told by Mrs. Catron and the girl, and while he was present Catron came in to demand his children. Before the investigation was closed Catron, seeing that things were going against him, slipped out ot Mrs. Thorpe's office and escaped, al- DownUll To the very bottom f price (Jutting t Bring the Child Ml boys' and child- J ren's oxfords Cut So Deep that no parent can af- J ford to over look these BARGAINS i S5'00 0xfr(i n0r $3.75 J $4.00 Oxford, now $2.75 715 Kansas Ave. MILITARY ACADEMY Oldest and Largest in the Middle West Patronage from J 7 States and Two Foreign Countries.

Sheriff Wilker son thought Catron was still in th jail building when it was decided to arrest him, but the suspect had flown. This morning Sergeant Ross caught Catron after trailing him all over town, as the man was trying to dis pose of a pick and shovel at a second hand store. Chief Eaton was also after Catron, on information given by telephone, and the officers landed him together. A state warrant was issued Tor Catron last night, and he was thrown into the county Jail as soon as captured this morning.

CONGERS ARE SUED. Sensational Charges Against Widow and Son of Deceased Manufactuurcr. Akroh, Ohio., Aug. 22. Sensational charges of fraud and plots to defeat creditors of the late Colonel A. L. Con ger, former national Republican com mitteeman and wealthy manufacturer, are made against Mr?. Emily B. Con ger, widow of Colonel Conger, of Irv-ing-on-the-Hudscn, New York, and her ron, Kenyon B. Conger, a prominent engineer of Xew York, in a pleading filed in common pleas court by A. S. Mottlnger, administrator of Colonel Conger's estate. Mottinger avers that since his appointment as administrator de bonis non in March, 1906, after the resignation of the former administra tor. H. C. R. Wall, no assets or pro perty of any kind belonging to Colonel Conger's estate have come into his pos session. That Mrs. Conger and her son. K. B. Conger, have taken posses sion of stocks and property of Colonel Conger and unlawfully and fraudu lently converted them to their own use, is one of the allegations made by Mot tinger. Colonel Conger s total indebted neps at the time of his death, Mottlnger alleges, was $500,000. The Sequestered Property. The value of the stocks and property taken by them, Mottinger avers, is much greater than the total indebted ness of the estate. By their acts, Mot tinger says, Mrs. Conger and K. B. onger have caused the indebtedness to wholly unpaid. Mottinger alleges that at the time of Colonel Conger s death he was the owner of stock in the Pittsburg Plate Glass company worth S100.000. One share in the Mathews Tract Syndicate, dealing In real estate in West Pullman. 111., worth $10,000, 85 shares of Whitman Barnes Man ufacturing company stock worth $28, 00; 100 shares in the Gilson Asphaltum company worth $100 per e-hare, and Ftock in the Klwood Land company, of Elwood. Ind., worth several thousand dollars. In April, 1S97, as a part of their plan to7 defraud creditors. Mottinger alleges, the stock in the Mathews Tract Syn dicate was transferred without consid eration to A. H. Pashley, an architect at 315 Dearborn .street, Chicago. The following October, Mottinger claims, K. B. Conger organized the Irving Invest ment company at Jersey City, N. J., with a capital stock of $1,000. and that afterward Pashley transferred the stock to the company. Alleges Specific Purposes. He alleges that the Irving Investment company was organized by Conger for the express purpose of holding and canceling the assets of Colonel Con ger. The stock in the Elwood Lumber company, Mottinger claims, was trans ferred to R. C. Merony. of New York, without consideration. Merony. it is claimed, is a clerk in Conger's employ, and it is said that, owing to some trouble between the two, Merony has riivulged the information alleged in Mottinger's petition. Mottinger says that the Whitman Barnes company stock was transferred without consid eration to Chas. L. Brookheim, of New York, and then to Adolf Prince, and af ter transferring the s-tock in the Gilson Asphaltum company to Merony. Merony sold the stock for $85 per share and de livered the proceeds to K. B. Conger and Mrs. Conger, Mottinger claims as damages $100,000. for which he asks Judgment. TO DINE WITH MIIS. FISH.

Aug. 22. Great interest Is taken here in the speeches delivered: by President Roosevelt In Province town, Mass., and by Secretary Taft In Columbus, O. The newspapers print extensive extracts from both. The Journal des Debats, after sketch ing the powerful corporations the president is fighting, expresses fear that his methods are dangerous. It says "The role of the archangel killing the financial dragon presents dangers which a man less wedded to his pur pose would perceive. The president already has contributed largely to the depression from which the New York stock exchange is suffering. Capital is hypersensitive and may be danger ously paralyzed by the most virtuous intentions. The president's theory of central control runs the risk of sub stituting for the plutocracy a dema gogic socialization. "President Roosevelt, who above everything else is an honest man, has, perhaps, failed to realize what prey he Is throwing at the feet of less dis interested politicians. The leveling idea from which he does not shrink, may impregnate the American masses, who, with the foreign Influx, are rap idly losing their old, liberal Ameri can spirit. An evil like the trust evil should be handled skilfully, so as not to ruin the country. In following President Roosevelt's attack on the trustp, it is impossible not to fear that he may overshoot the mark and jus tify those who regard the president as John the Baptist of American dema gogism. It already can be foreseen that the politicians will surpass his honest intentions and Republicans and Democrats alike will now consider It to be their duty to assail the trusts in the coming presidential campaign." SIGNED BY SPRINGFIELD. Forrester. Popular ex-Topeka Twlrler, Back in His Old Haunts. Manager J. B. Shinn, of the Spring field team, this morning announced that he had signed Pitcher Jack Forrester, formerly of the Toneka team and that Forrester would pitch in one of the games this- afternoon. Forrester drift ed into Topeka last night, and It was thought that he would again be with the locals. Forrester was released by Detroit who has owned him ever since his purchase from Topeka a year ago. He was loaned to Johnstown shortly before coming to Topeka and upon be ing released from Detroit refused to stay with Johnstown. Court Saves His Neck. Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 22.

Many Excellent Horses Hare Been Entered. STALLS FILLING UP. Track Is Being Put in Good Shape. Horses That Hare Been Put on the Books. The race meet which will be held this year under the auspices of the Kansas State Exposition company commencing September 10 and lasting four days irromiRes to be a feature event In the racing world never before equalled in this city. It was a most fortunate In cident which gave to the association the elates the second week in September aft it will bring a number of strings of ex cellent horses to the city. Many of the fairs for the southern and eastern part of the state will be over by that time as well as several of the larger fairs in Nebraska and Iowa. The meeting in this city will be followed by the Interstate at Elmrldge near Kansas City which will be one of the largest fentToVnH6 WS8t and has hel the At tention of horsemen in the west since the season opened. Many horses which ?i lnJhi8 meet wm be shipped directly to Topeka and entered here prior to this event. i-Jlff5 t',1 of the 8ta1'9 ,n three of the largest stables at the fair grounds have been reserved and the nominations do not close until the 9th of September The consolation closes the evening before the race and the derby on the 29th of the present month. The race track has never been In as good shape as it is at the present time and it is more than likely that several records may be made when the track conditions as well as the strings of horses which will participate in the races are considered. A deep trench has been dug about the track and arrange ments made for an almost perfect drain age in case that the weatherman should apportion a rain to this part of the state during the week of the meeting. J. M. Connell, general passenger agent for the Santa Fe, this morning informed the secretary of the association that a special rate of one and one-third fare nas been made for the meeting for a radius of 150 miles from Topeka in the state and that Kansas City and St. Joseph has been favored with the same rate. The buildings. rences and stables at the fair grounds have been treated to a fresh coat of whitewash in anticipa tion of the event and workmen will commence renovating the grand stand the first of next week. The derby, which promises to be one of the feat ures of the meet will be held Tues day, the 10th, and the entries and In quiries already received indicate that there will, be anywhere from a dozen to twenty entries in the event. Harry Loper,-.who in starting at the Wichita meet, has been engaged as the official starter. Arrangements are being made for a special attraction but as the deal has not as yet been closed the an nouncement will not be made until later, though it is practically settled that it will be a trotter c-f the guide less wonder ariety.

Farrisworth Property Is Again Turned Over. A second trust deed for the purpose of conserving, according to their wishes, the large estate of John W. Farnsworth and his wife, Nancy Farnsworth, .which is estimated to be worth In the neigh borhood df $200,000 and probably more, was filed today with Sadlier J. Hodgins, the register of deeds. It provides for an entirely different disposition of the estate in the hands of a trustee than did the former trust deed which was filed on July 19 last and which was set aside by Judge Dana of the district court yesterday afternoon, in a friendly pro ceeding brought by Mr. and Mrs. Farns worth to have this original deed set aside on the ground that it was not What they intended it should be. Under the terms of the original trust deed all of the Farnsworth property was turned over to H. C. Ashby, of Tulsa, Ok., a son-in-law, who was to hold all the property in trust for twenty years and then see to its equal division be tween the children and grandchildren of the grantors of the trust. This twen ty year trust covered all the property, real and personal, with the exception of a specific bequest of $5,000 to be used for the education of a grandson,- Franklin Ashby, who is now fourteen years, and lars which was to be given to him after he was twenty-one years old and when he shall by his own personal efforts. labor and taleftts, unaided by anyone make, save and accumulate the sum of $1,000- In the proceedings before Judge Dana yesterday Charles Blood Smith was ap pointed guardian ad litem of Franklin Ashby, who is now fourteen years, nad Mr. Smith was one of the witnesses, with Leonard Ferry as the other, to th3 new trust deed which was executed by the Farnsworths today. And in the new deed is the same specific provisions for the setting aside of this money to the grandson as were in. the old deed. This new trust deed conveys all of the property of the Farnsworths, with the ex ception of their residence at No. 627 To peka avenue, to H. CJ. Ashby, who was named trustee in the first deed. He Is to have absolute control of the property and is to receive $500 a year for his services as trustee as well as reasonable expenses. The deed provides that on March 1 of each year the trustee shall make an ac counting of his stewardship and on the fifteenth day of each month he is requir ed to pay over to the grantors of the deed the income from the estate above the expenses of its management. It is provided further that when the trustees sells any of the real estate 50 per cent of the proceeds is to be divided equally between Julia F. Soper and Ruth F. Ashby, daughters of the Farnsworths, and the other 50 per cent is to be rein vested in property, real or personal, for the benefit of the estate. I According to the terms oi tne oia aeea Mr Ashby was to hold the entire estate in trust for years. Under the new deed the trust as regards to the personal prop erty is to terminate immediately on the death of the Farnsworths and is to be di vided equally between their daugh ters. On the death of the grant ors the daughters can terminate the trust at will on making an ap plication in writing of their desire to this effect. On such application being received the trustee is directed to dispose of the estate equally between the two daughters, oi" if either of them should die, their share is to go to their heirs. A concluding paragraph of the deed ex presses the desire of Mr. and Mrs. Farns worth that their property be eventually equally divided between their daughters and according to the terms of the trust deed. Thin Is a far different nrovisirm from that in the origipal trust deed, which pro Tided that at the end of theiO-years trustee ship the property was to be divided equal ly between the children and the grandchil dren of the grantors of the deed.

Shay, one of the most famous criminal lawyers in the United States, and father of Mrs .Rose Cecilia Fredericks, the well known opera singer, w hose stage name is Rose Cecilia Shay. Shay died in the flat of his former stenographer, Mrs. Ada Taylor. The efforts of Police Surgeon Miner and the woman to smuggle Shay's body away from her apartments and the handling of a roll of money wnicn Shay had on his person were revealed at the coroner's inquest. Mrs. Taylor said Shay was stricken with apoplexy after partaking of a lunch she had prepared. She called the colored janitor and then sent for Dr. Miner. Shay was dead when the doctor arrived. In order to keep secret the fact that the attorney had died at her rooms, she and Dr. Miner had the janitor en gage another negro to help him move the body, which was taken to an un dertaking establishment before the coroner was notified. The negroes were given $50 a piece to keep quiet, the money being taken from the dead man's clothing. It was then given out that Shay had dropped dead in the street. HOFFMAN CASE IS APPEALED.

A portly, well dressed man of almost patriarchal age, boarded a ferryboat at Hoboken yesterday proudly escorting a good looking young woman In white. He teemed at peace with the world and prepared for a pleasant outing. The couple were chatting cordially when a handsome, richly attired matron wearing diamonds stalked up to them The boat by that time was half way to New York. The cabin thronared. "So this is you. is It?" the matron demanded, halting in front of the pa triarch and his companion and survey in them with disdain. The man ducked his head, the young woman shrank from the other. "This is mv husband. William M. Abbott the good Deacon Abbott." tali! th woman with diamonds, point ing out the man to those around. Everybody at once sat up and took notice. "Please go away and let me alone, pleaded the "deacon." "No, sir; I'm going to follow you and your friend around all day and see where you go." returned Mrs. Abbott. She Kept on the Job. By the time the boat reached Twenty-third street it was noised all about the cabin that the good Deacon Abbott was aboard with a woman and that his wife was on the trail. As the crowd filed off the ferry everybody took a good look at the stout old gentleman. Abbott and the young woman with him hurried off the pier, closely fol lowed by Mrs. Abbott. They Jumped on a car. So did she. and away all lhr went 11 nto wn on the Belt line Mrs. Abbott explaining the situation to the passengers, who took a aeep in t&raul In the situation.

Ahhntt unrfnted riarht behind There was quite a throng on the pier and Abbott and his companion tried to lose themselves in it. but could not shake off their pursuer. During the half hour wait for the boat Mrs. Ab bott took her stand near her husband and freelv circulated a lot or lnrorma tion about him. so that people began to walk around and around the vener- nhl o-pntleman. eveing him curiously, At Atlantic Highlands the deacon's tour resolved itself into a chase flown the nler. and then a chase up the pier, and finally a chase to the next boat hack. On the return trip Mrs. Abbott kept her eagle eye fixed on tne coupie. 10 a man who asked him wnat tne trou ble was.

We have had plenty or rain all the season, and hay and pastures are looking splendidly. For a while in the early part of the season, com was very backward, and did not look well. It was so backward that in stead of laying it by after the wheat harvest, we put our team to work at once cultivating the corn some more. This work is showing now in the splendid corn conditions.

Sanitary Officer John Coyne, of the "Foorth wa'ar'rd." went blithlev forth this morning to cut weeds, with one city prisoner and one scythe. At 9 o'clock he came back with the scythe. His entire weed cutting gang, consisting of one $5 plain drunk, had deserted. The plain one, whose other name is Fred Johnson, was fined five and had worked three days.

Connaway, clerk of Ford county, writes the Btate board of agriculture that his county will sow about 160.000 acres of winter wheat this fall, and dou ble its corn acreage next spring. He also says that the biggest and finest combined mill and elevator in Kansas west of Topeka is nearlng completion at Dodge City, and that if practical west ern mill men have faith enough in the country to put $200,000 in buildings and machinery the farmers there will surely do the rest. "We need three hundred farmers this fall to take care of the surplus land now ready for seeding, or which will be ready for fall and spring planting. I predict that within five years Ford will be the banner wheat county of Kansas If we can get the necessary men to do the planting and harvesting." Suggestive of the great increase in the winter wheat acreage of Ford county, which is on the one hundredth meridian. and how the more western counties are coming to be found adopted to the fam ous Kansas cereal, are the figures of the past five years, as follows: 1903 60.021 acres 1904 72.560 acres 1905 86,814 acres 190f 105,853 acres 1907 142,732 acres This is an Increase of nearly 138 per cent within the half decade. The total area sown to spring wheat In Ford county in the same five years has been 5,453 acres, of which 169 acres was of the much vaunted "macaroni" variety. There is as yet little to indi cate that the farmers of western Kansas have been swept off their feet by the agitation of the "experts" in behalf of spring wheat, whether of the macaroni or any other variety. fairly well fixed, and the chanee didn't do him good. The best he could do here, before his brother-in-law got to be chief of police, was to work on a street car. Keller has not been very popular on tne police force, but he seems to be a good fellow, and it is to be hoped that his lunch foundry will make good. Chicago, Aug. 22. Every telegraph operator who went on strike two weeks ago must make individual application for reinstatement before he will be ta ken back. This policy has been an nounced by the companies and means not only that there will be no union recognition but that even a committee from the ranks of the strikers will not be treated with. The Postal company has prepared a form of contract which every applicant is required to sign be fore he is given employment. The Western Union company has not adopt ed any form of contract but is requir ing each operator to make application for work as an individual. The con tract of the Postal company reads: "I hereby agree if given employment by the Postal Telegraph and Cable company to render full and faithful service at all times, refraining from all agitation and interference with the company's business, and I further agree that I will work carefully and well with every operator be he or she union or nonunion." President Small of the Telegraphers' union announced today that he would be in New York Saturday. No Law on the Case. Buffalo, Aug. 22. It is not illegal to send telegrams through the mall. That is the statement made today by United States Attorney Lyman M. Barr. Ef forts were made by the striking tele graphers to bring the managements of the Western union and Postal tele graph companies into court for receiv ing messages at the ordinary telegraph rates and sending them by mail. Mr. Barr says that there Is no federal law on the case, therefore no prosecution could be brought in the federal courts. Messenger Boys Organize. New York. Aug. 22. There have been no Important developments in the strike of the commercial telegraphers In the east. Both strikers and telegraph companies- remain firm and both claim to be entirely satisfied with conditions. As far as the movement of press dis patches throughout the east is con cerned the strike has lost all signifi cance. The messenger boys of the Western Union and Postal telegraph companies met last night and took steps toward organizing a union. They are promised a charter from the American Federation of Labor. The boys were addressed by several of the officers of the tele graphers' union and promised encour aeement. The telegraphers will attempt to or ganize the clerks employed by the com panies and If they succeed will have all branches of the employes of the com panies represented in the ranks of or ganized la Dor. A largely attended meeting of the strikers was held yesterday afternoon at which addresses were made by mem bers of the union and by M. Pierson vice president of the Order of Railway Telegraphers.

Ivlns' Probe Brings to Light Sensation al Financiering. New York. Aug. 2 2. Revelations as to the financial methods employed by August Belmont Co.. similar to those which caused the great insurance scandal, were made at the public utilities Investigation Jnto the Inter borough Metropolitan'system. It was testified that the firm had claimed a discount of $450,000 on subwav bonds sold and then charged the amount to the construction account. The hearing was held in the city hall. The most Important witness of the day was E. P. Bryan, president of the Interborough company, who was questioned by William M."lvins. Mr. Ivlns brought out the Belmont trans action and the fact that the firm also charged a commission of three-quarters of 1 per cent on the sale. This also went to the construction account. In questioning Mr. Bryan regarding the transaction Mr. Ivlns asked: "The city Is to purchase the rrfid some day?" "It is so stipulated," said the wit ness. "And that $450,000 and that com mission would have to be paid by the citv as a part of the erst?" I believe it was a legitimate part of the cost of construction." Mr. Ivlns read various figures from the reports submitted to the old rapid transit board. These showed a total cost of something more than 38 mil lion dollars ror the first three months of 1907. The profits given were $1,312,629. Portland. Ore., Aug. 22. The Oregon Trust and Savings bank of this city did not open for business today, notice hav lng been posted by order of the board of directors announcing inability of the bank to realize on its securities. An other notice stated that the bank was closed by order of the circuit court for Multonomah county, Thomas C. Devlin formerly county .auditor, having been appointed receiver.

That the directors of the institution, of which W. H. Moore is president and E. E. Lytle vice president, knew of the impending crash several days ago, leak ed out by an announcement today that a meeting of the bankers of the city had been held last night to consider the sit uatlon. The other banks called upon for support did not respond to the ap peal. The conference or banks adjourn ed at 2 o'clock this morning. In an Interview, Vice President Lytle placed the responsibility of the failure upon the shoulders of vv. cooper Mor ris, the cashier. Lytle asserted that with out authority of the board of directors Morris bought securities for hundreda of thousands of dollars and sold the securities for large sums, and last Thursday, without authority. Morris took home bonds of a telephone com pany amounting to $1,300,000. and went to New York to dispose of them, evi dently with the Idea of obtaining other funds to place the bank on a better financial basis. While Lytle is severe in his condemna tion of the business methods of Cashier Morris, friends of Morris say he acted within his rights, and had the bank been aiinweri to do business for a few more days Morris would have placed it upon its feet. It is known that the bank own ed valuable real estate and other securities. MANSFIELD GOES HOME. Ho Has Abandoned All Intentions of Acting This Season. HARRIMAN CATCHES A FISH.

Both died within a few minutes. Emily Hertor lived in Germany with her parents and when she first met Teich, who was a silk weaver. Teich fell in love with the girl and wanted her to marry him. But he was pos sessed of a violent temper and Emily feared him. Her parents also objected to the marriage. But Teich was in sistent so the girl left Germany secret ly to escape him, and came to America. This was five years ago. For two years Teich searched Germany for her, but failed to find her. Then her par ents admitted to him that she was in America, but refused to tell him where. Nothing daunted, the young man came to America and renewed his search. He htnted New York four months but failed to find her. Then he went to Minneapolis, St. Louis, Philadelphia and Scranton, where he thought the girl had friends, but without result. He returned to New York a few months ago and accidentally met Emily on the street. She was living here with an aunt and in spite of her aunt's objec tion Emily finally consented to marry the man who had been so faithful in his search for her. They were mar ried two months ago. Neighbors in the apartment house say that there was a quarrel in the Teich apartments this morning because Emily refused to get up to partake of the breakfast Julius had prepared. There were sharp words and a pistol shot. Then pleading words for forgiveness from Julius followed by another shot. Then the police broke in the door and hurried the unconscious victims to a hospital, where 'bo'th died." GOMPERS AMD HEARST. They Will Speak From Same Platform on Labor Day. Norfolk, Va.. Aug. 22.

The statement is made here that no immediate re sults will follow the negotiations that Secretary Root has been conducting with Ambassador Jusserand of France, in the direction of placing the latter country on, the same basis as Germany in the matter of tariff. In formation received here, said to be from responsible quarters, is to the effect that Sjcretary Root is anxious to have an opportunity of testing the temper of congress as to the German agreement before going further, and It is understood that France is quite ready to grant a delay In that respect. The proposed trip abroad of the special tariff commission headed by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury James B Reynolds is regarded as a part of the programme of delay. The other members of the commission consist of President DeVrles of the board of United States general ap praisers, and Judge Waite. an active member of the board. The commis sion wiu leave about tne middle of September and will make a special in vestigation In England. France and Germany of the conditions governing export market value and declarations to invoice. It is probable that Assistant Secre tary Reynolds and his associates will make a report which will have an im portant bearing on the negotiations now proceeding between the united States and France. Lisbon. Portugal. Aug. 22. The ex plosion of a bomb here, which killed two persons and fatally injured two, brought to light a plot by republican conspirators to assassinate King Carlos and Premier Franco and to seize the government of Portugal. The police say that the head of the conspiracy is Jesse Bettencourt. a medical student. In searching his apartments they found letters and papers which re suited in the arrest of thirty republi can leaders. They have been placed on ships. Bettencourt lives in the tenement district of the city, and his rooms have been a headquarters for republic agi tators and conspirators. The explosion occurred in Bettencourt's room, and the men killed and those injured were conspirators against the government. When the police rushed in they found the room a wreck. They found docu ments telling of the conspiracy against the king and premier. Many arrests are expected as a re sult of the accidental explosion. Those arrested will be tried in secret. They will be either put to death or exiled. The revolutionary movement has beeji growing in .Portugal ever since the king decided to rule without a parlia ment. The Readvllle Races.
