Chicago. Jan. 20 Completed plans tor the White Stockings' training trip, announced by President Comiskey yes terday, discloses the fact the "Old Roman" is out to break all records in the matter of teritory covered and in the style in which the traveling will be dona. With California as the destination, a double header route has been worked out which will require two teams to ex ecute and which calls for playing sixty seven games and covering practically all the available territory on the coast and in the south and middle west. The small army of players which will be taken on this long Jaunt will travel as no training squad ever traveled be fore. A special train will be provided by the Rock Island system to transport the party to the coast. The equipment prescribed by the agreement with the railroad company includes two Pullman sleepers, a combination compartment, observation and buffet car, a dining car and a library and baggage car, all to be drawn by a "highly decorated" special engine. There will be over thirty play ers in the party and many of them will be accompanied by their wives. Comis key's own family and friends, added to the war correspondents, will raise the total company to over fifty, it is ex pected. The route of invasion will be by way of Kansas City and El Paso to Los Angeles, and the special train de luxe is scheduled to leave the La Salle street station at 9 p. m. on February 29. Those of the White Sox who do not live along the route will board the train here. Several will be picked up on the way, but by the time the train reaches To peka all will be aboard, it is expected. The schedule calls for their arrival in El Paso at 5 p. m. on March 2, and in Los Angeles at 7 p. m. on the following day. Except for this long journey the en tire squad will be" together only a little over one day. That will be on March 4 in Los Angeles, where a short breath ing spell will be allowed to get limbered up. On March 5 the players will be divided into two squads, to be designat ed as No. 1 and No. 2. Dates have been arranged for both teams in San Fran cisco, Los Angeles, and the intervening cities along the coast. Attell and Nell Matched. San Francisco, Jan. 20. Abe Attell and Frankie Neil were matched to fight 20 rounds on January 31 in this city. The weight will be 122 pounds ring side. The Pacific Athletic club, a new organization under the management of Luke Marisch, was granted the per mit for this month and will handle the match. Nelson and Friholz Matched. Los Angeles, Jan. 20. Battling Nel son and Rudolph Unholz, the South African light weight, have been match ed to fight ten rounds in this city be fore the Pacific Athletic club. The date has not definitely been set, but the fight probably will take place the first week in February. Nelson and Unholz will fight for 50 per cent of the gross re ceipts to be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. The weight is to be 138 pounds. A The Late Charles Emory Smith. CHARLES E. SMITH DEAD. JBYjrmerly Minister to Russia' and Fostmaster General. Philadelphia, Jan. 20. Charles Bmory Smith, editor of the Press, formerly United States minister to Russia, and former postmaster gen eral, died suddenly at his home here Sunday, aged 63 years. Death was caused by heart trouble. Mrs. Smith, returning from church, found her husband's lifeless form lying across his bed. For about a month "Mr. Smith had been in poor health, but his condition had not been regarded as serious. Following a din ner In New Tork, November 30, he Buffered an acute attack of lndiges- Watch Jewelry REPAIRING MOW that the holiday rush i9 over, we are again Prepared to devote our en tire attention to our Watch and Jewelry Repair Depart ment.

Shortly before Christmas he attended a dinner of the New England society in this city, though advised by his physician not to do so. He was toast master at the banquet, and laughingly referred to his illness and his em barrassment at finding himself seated almost opposite his physician at the affair. Before he had recovered from the efTects of his first attack Mr. Smith contracted the grip, which aggravated his heart trouble. One v.-eek ago he was ordered to Atlantic City to re cuperate. When he returned to his home here on Saturday night he ap peared to be bright and cheerful, ex cept that he felt somewhat fatigued by his journey. When found the body was partly clothed, and he had apparently been stricken while on his way to the bathroom, and had thrown himself on the bed. Mr. Smltn was twice married, his second wife being Miss Henrietta Nichols of New Tork, whom he married at the home of her mother, Mrs. Washington Romaine Nichols, at Elberon, N. J., on October last. Besides the widow he is sur vived by a brother and sister. HE READ DIME NOVELS. A Wellington Jury Found Farmer Arnold Guilty of Murder. S. FREIDBERG Jeweler 507 KANSAS AVE. Wellington, Kan., Jan. 20. The Jury in the Arnold murder case, which has been on trial in the district court here for over a week, Saturday night re turned a verdict of murder In the first degree. Arnold, who is a young tenant farm er residing near this city, September a, isiii. snot ana Kiuea Timothy Riggs, a horse trader who he alleged had cheated him in a sale of a team of mules. The slayer fled on a horse he had In readiness, but by the free use of the rural telephone was captured at 3 o'clock next morning- as he was driv ing into Perry, Ok. Arnold, who, the evidence showed, was addicted to dim novel reading and the immoderate ust of cigarettes, had told several persons the day of the shooting that he intend ed to kill Riggs but no credence was given to his threats. Both men leave families. Insanity was pleaded as a aeiense. WILL MAKE GLASS Coffeyrille Factory Starts Up Its Furnaces Again. Doors of the Window Glass Plant Closed for Eight Months. WILL EMPLOY 200 MEN The Wage Matter Not Entirelj Satisfactory to All. Mason Fruit Jar Plant Expected to Start This Week. Tin Mill Resumes. Newcastle, Pa., Jan. 20. Operations have been resumed In full at the Greer tin mill, giving employment to 1,500 men, who have been idle for tnree montns. Coffeyville, Kan., Jan. 20. The Coffeyville window glass factory has started to blow glass. After a period of inactivity extending over eight months, the Coffeyville plant is the second one to resume operations, the Kansas being the first. When the plant commenced opera tions there were nearly 170 men on hand to begin work. Most of the men were blowers and gather ers and the rest were laborers. The cutters and flatteners will not be taken on until the first of this week. When the flatteners and cutters be gin work, there will be over 200 men employed at the Coffeyville plant. All of the thirty-six odd pots were in use when the plant started to blow. The cutters and flatteners' contro versy is still unsettled, tut the men on both sides are of the opinion that the trouble will be patched up to the satisfaction of all. The Dlowers went to work under the amalgamated scale. The manufacturers are still holding out for the first agreement, and from all indications they will stand by the blowers for the amalgamated scale of wages. It is thought that a com promise will be reached by Monday, when the flatteners have been ordered to be ready for work. The cutters will probably not be taken on until Tuesday or Wednesday. Until that time arrives, both sides will endeavor to reach some sort of an agreement whereby they can all work. There are persistent rumors that the Mason fruit jar plant will begin work inside of a week or ten days. The fires have all been started, but as far as can be learned from the men, none have yet been engaged to work. Owing to the failure of the fruit crop this year in different parts of the country, the demand for fruit jars has been very light. This Is the only thing to hinder the plant here from starting, as the wage scale and otner affairs are settled to the lik ings of all concerned. CRUSHED TO DEATH. M. F. McOulloch Loses His Ufe at Waterville. Marysville, Kan.. Jan. 20. M. P. McCulloch was crushed to death in the Parker elevator at Waterville. He was at the elevator alone, and had a few minutes before the accident which caused his death started the engine lo elevate a Quantity of wheat. It is supposed he had gone to the elevator shaft to .fix some part- of- the machin ery, as the wheat was not elevating well, and became entangled In the ma chinery, which dragged him into the shaft. He was found at 1:15 o'clock by Henry Reboul of that city, who happened to call at the elevator. When found he was in the elevator shaft and it required the assistance of five men to get his mutilated body from the machinery, and in doing which they had to remove what few clothes remained upon the body. His neck was broken in two places, one leg was cut off below the knee, one arm broken in four places and many of the other bones in his body were also broken. COULDN'T SPELL. "PRAIRIE."

The most destructive Are in Manhattan for a good many years occurred here Sun day when the grocery store owned by John Purcell was almost totally de stroyed. Fire, the' origin of which is unknown, started in the basement in the rear of the hundred and fifty-foot building and simply burned out the place from one end to the other before the flames were discovered. The alarm was given at about 4 o'clock and the firemen did excellent work in confin ing the flames to the one building which was located between the large Wharton and Ulricb store buildings. The grocery stock, estimated at about 17,000, was nearly all covered by in surance. The damage to the building, amounting to about $3,000. was also covered by insurance. A large barn in the adjacent block was burned at an early hour Saturday morning. The origin of that fire was not known. SUES THE EDITORS FOR $10,000. An Arkansas City Man Wants Pay for an Alleged Libelous Article.. Arkansas City, Jan. 20. W. B. "Wal ton vs. H. B. Funk; F. C. Funk, L. C. Funk, is the title of a suit that was filed in the district court at Winfleld by Attorney John Parman and Atkinson Pollard. In this suit the plaintiff asks for damase in the sum of $10, 000 from the defendants for damages alleged to have been sustained by rea son of slanderous articles printed in the Daily X-Ray of Arkansas City. This is "the second suit for damages filed by "Walton against the paper. The first suit was postponed until the spring term of the district court. The last -suit is brought because of an arti cle which appeared about a year ago while "Walton was in "Virginia. The X-Ray took a shot at him and now he wants the publishers of that paper to pay for it. Leg Broken toy a Fall. Kingman, Kan.V Jan. 20. Louis Rail, son of Representative E. B.

Three Entombed Nevada Miners Have Been Released. t Ely, Nev.; Jan. 20 After having been entombed forty-six days in the Alpha shaft of the Giroux mine, A. D. Bailey, P. J. Brown and Fred McDonald, have been rescued. At 8:30 o'clock Saturday night Bailey was brought out. Fourteen minutes later McDonald came to the surface, while ten minutes afterward Brown was brought up. Whistles all over the district blew loudly, while crowds cheered In the streets of Ely and ev ery bell In the town was ringing. "Ah," this was the first exclamation of Bailey when he reached the outer air. Without another word he tottered forward into the arms of comrades who stood ready to assist him and was led to the change room of the--Alpha shaft, where, in a few mlnutfes-li recuperated. .'.'Is. that. you,. Artu,ur?" queried Fred McDonald, as his brf ther' stepped for ward and embraced fhim, after, nearly seven long weeks of separation. "By George, is certainly seems good to be out of that 'Hell-hole,' he said,' as he was led away, telling his brother in a pitched voice of his terrible experience. "Say, somebody give me a chew of tobacco, quick," said Brown, "I'm on the bum all right." With a happy laugh he was led off by a comrade to the change room. These expressions were characteristic of the temperament of the released men. All were supremely happy and relieved. One morning in December, when McDonald, Brown and Bailey and two Greeks were working in the bot tom of the three compartment shafts, 85 feet below the pump station and 1,085 feet below the surface, the cave in occurred. The cable used to haul the cage from the third compartment of the shaft snapped, and thousands of tons of rocks. debris and timbers fell down into the shaft. From the bot tom of the compartment in which the men were working to the pumping station, a distance of 85 feet, a series of rickety ladders offered the only means of escape. With falling rocks and timbers streaming down upon them the five men struggled up these ladders. Half way up falling timbers knocked the two Greeks from the ladder, killing them. Bailey, McDon ald and Brown managed to reach the pump station. Its well-timbered roof had withstood the rock and timber that came down the shaft and offered them shelter and safety. Here for the first day after the cave-in the men crouched, while at intervals they could hear the rocks and timbers crashing above them. At first it was thought that all the men had perished, but 24 hours after the cave-in -the three men who oc cupied the pumping station managed to make themselves heard by tapping on the six-inch water pipe that stretched from the pumping station to the surface. It was this pipe that was the means of saving the lives of the three men. When communica tion was once established with the world above, and the men of the mine made known the fact that they were still alive, food and drink were im mediately lowered through the. pipe. A large supply was sent down, as it was thought possible tne pipe com munication might be cut off before the rescuing party could reach the Imprisoned men, but throughout their long weeks of imprisonment this pipe has been in daily use. A portable telephone was lowered, and the men were able to talk with the people above. This telephone line has been in almost constant use, friends send ing them by its means the news of the outside woria and messages of cheer. Mob Lynches a Negro. Dothan, Ala.,. Jan. 20. Cleveland Franklin, a negro employed by a cot ton oil company, was lynched here early last night by a masked mob of two hundred angry citizens.

Much of this work consists of cut-offs and relocations which eliminate parts of the old line. It Is the practice of the Santa Fe to charge the cost of old lines re placed and abandoned to operating ex penses, and only the additional cost of the new and better line to construction account. For the time being such a method is hard on net earnings, but it avoids capitalizing the mistakes or lim itations of the original constructors and holds the book cost of the property down to what is actually expended for the permanently useful part. With the exception of the final in stallment of about $3,48(000 due from subscribing stockholedrs the. Sfanta Fe has received cash for all its $26,000,000 of convertible 6s, and the management considers that the road's needs have all been financed until after January, 1909. In this estimate of tho company's posi-, tion, account has been taken of the probable reduction In net earnings dur ing the ensuing year, the necessity of having on hand ample working capital and payments to be made on equip ment ordered in 1907 and not yet deliv ered. No further equipment orders are contemplated for this year. A FEW JEX OCT, Coffeyville" Roads Are Reducing Their Forces. Coffeyville, Kan..

Two men at the freight offices were cut off the salary list and also one at the general office. The Katy laid off its night man short time ago, but took him on within the next twelve hours. No other cuts in the list of employes is known to have been made. Since the Santa Fe laid off iu switching crew and yard engine a month ago, the list of employes has remained the same. However, the men in the office would not be sur prised to see one or two of their num ber dropped in a short time.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1908. 3 SAM CURED 150 HE BREAKS SILENCE. John R. Walsh at Last Discusses Caao Against Him. Chicago, Jan. 20. For the first time .since the downfall of his banks two years ago, John R.- Walsh has consent ed to discuss with a newspaper man the troubles which culminated last Sat urday when a federal court Jury ad Judged him guilty of violations of the national banking laws. Incidentally he spoke of the Jury's finding as "the so-called verdict." He is. confident the Jury's "alleged findings of fact" will not stand the test of review by the Jurists of the nation's highest courts, and that he will yet be exon erated from all charges made against him. Mr. Walsh spent the day at the Grand Central depot, transacting ar rears of business for the enterprises in which he is interested. "How to earn interest for depositors without working their money through investments Is a matter which, I be lieve, these Jurors from the country districts never took into considera tion," he said. "It is up to the president, as the chief executive of the modern big bank, to decide the merits and soundness of the available investments and securities. If the president makes a mistake. It is a matter of judgment-, his bad Judgment and he should not be accused of Intention to defraud unless there is no other way to explain his acts. "This was the crucial point in my case the question of my intent in mak ing the investments in the railroad se curities. There was nothing in the case to contradict my testimony that I made the larger Investments to save the Chi cago National bank from losses on the original small Investments. I made good in that effort and I can not un derstand how the Jury reached its strange conclusion that I intended to defraud the Chicago National bank. "I am not admitting that I violated the 10 ner cent limit or if I did, I cer tainly did not know it. The bank got the bonds for security and that they were good securities and not worthless has been proved by the fact that the leading banks of Chicago have pur chased them at par. It is well known, however, that the 10 per cent limit has never been enforced by action in the courts, and in practically all banking circles it was regarded as a dead letter. It may have been an ideal law at the time of its passage many years ago when banks and their transactions were small. However, I hold that the mem orandum bond transactions did not vio late this law." STORMED A CHURCH. Army of Unemployed Made a Demon stration in Boston. Boston. Jan. 20. An "Army of the Unemployed" numbering about 300, under the leadership of Morrison I. Swift, who last week presented peti tions for aid at the state house and city hall, assembled on Boston com mons Sunday and marched unexpec tedly to Trindty church in Copley square, where Rev. Alex Mann, the -eotor; was delivering a sermon be fore the usual aristocratic congrega tion. The men filed quitely into the church and were assigned to seats af ter the ushers had1 recovered from their surprise. Just before Dr. Mann was to begin his sermon a note was sent to him by one of the visitors, asking him to preach on "The duty of the state and city to the unemployed" and to have a collection taken up for the benefit of the unemployed of Boston. Pr. Mann read the communication aloud and stated, as the programme for the day's service had been .made In advance, he could not change it; also that the collection of the day was for the benefit of foreign missions. He said he was glad the men had come; that he would be willing to talk upon the topic desired next Sunday, and to take up such collection as was asked for. When the services were over. Swift Many coffee drinkers doctor for nervousness, whereas a change to well made (boiled 15 minutes) POSTUM is all they need." "There's a Reason" Energy for breakfast to start the day.

Proceeding to a vacant lot in the back yard, he succeeded in getting his resolutions before his followers and in having them adopted. They con demned in general, the governor for having, as they claimed, driven the unemployed from the steps of the state house by bis orders last week. The police broke up this meeting, and Swift was placed under arrest for holding a public meeting without a permit. Afterward at the station he promised the men would disperse, and he was released. A SIX DAY CYCLE RACE. Convention Hall, Kansas City, the Scene of the Contest. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20. Conven tion hall will this afternoon be the scene of the beginning of a six day bi cycle race, second only to the races only held in Madison Square Garden. Fourteen of the country's crack six day riders will participate. That there ex ists the keenest rivalry among the teams was evidenced by a number of exciting workouts during the late hours of last night an early today. The official entries: Root-Fogler, the Empire champions. Lawson-Moran, the Yankee flyers. Bardgett-Mitten, the eastern team. Monroe-Wilcox, the Dixie-Western team.

President of Bank Gave Combination to Robbers. Chicago, Jan. 20. A dispatch to the Tribune from Jackson, Miss., says: A unique confession was made to A. F. Thomason, president of the Na tional Bank of Hattiesburg, by James Harper and W. T. Smith, bank rob bers, brought back from Seattle, where they were caught after a long chase. Harper says the bank president walked in his sleep. He and Smith watched the bank for several nights, according to their confession, and frequently witnessed Thomason enter with the aid of his door key. They never dreamed that he was not in full possession of his senses until they saw him under an electric light wKh his eyes closed. Then the robbers say they conceiv ed a plan to enter the bank with Thomason and to gag him if he came out of his trance. They declare that Thomason gave them the combina tion to the safe, which they looted, and that they left, leaving Thomason asleep in the bank. HUNGRY FORIVORK. Unemployed Foreigners Parade the Streets of New Britain. New Britain, Conn., Jan. 20. Over 1, 000 unemployed workmen paraded through the streets of this city today, the leader carrying a banner bearing the inscription "Parade of hungry peo ple looking for work." It was explain ed by some of the leaders of the dem onstration that "hungry" in this case, meant that the men were hungry for something to do, not that they were suffering from the pangs of physical hunger. Poles, Germans, Lithuanians, French and Italians comprised the ma jority of the marchers. Thieves Work in Church. Detroit, Mich.. Jan. 20.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 20. The Bra zilian police have found an anarchist plot here having as its subject the a- struction of part of the Ameriran fleet now lying in the harbor. The con spiracy, while centering in Rio de Janeiro and Petropolis, has ramifica tion in Sao Paulo and Mlnas Geraes. A man named Jean Fedher, who lived in Petropolis, was the chief conspirator here, although foreign anarchists are deeply involved in the plot. Fedher Is believed to have fled to Sao Paulo and the police, who know him, have been sent to that place to arrest him. One of the detectives who was well acquainted with Fedher, hav ing served on the police force at Pe tropolls for some time, returned from that place today after having made in vestigations there and had a long con ference with the chief of police of Rio do Janeiro. The latter grave it to be understood later that the Sao Paulo police are on the track of the arch conspirator and expect to arrest him soon. In an official note which the chief of police sent to the correspond ent of the Associated Press he says: "Some time before the arrival of the American fleet at Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian government received from Washington and Paris news that an archists of different nationalities in tended to damage one or several of the ships of the American fleet. The names and addresses of the conspira tors were indicated by information which the police here had received previously from France and Germany. The police of this district are working with the police of Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes and I am sure every pre caution will be exercised and the most rigorous vigilance observed both on land and at sea to prevent any injury being done." The chief of police, after having made this official statement said that he did not feel he should go into any further details with regard to the con spiracy, but he authorized the state ment that the plot was organized by Fedher and he added that the people of the United States could rest easy as all of the conspirators had taken refuge in the interior. The affair has not yet been made public here. The impression which the exposure of this plot will create here will be a profound one, because It is the first anarchist conspiracy that has ever been known In Brazil. TO SEEHQW IT FELT.

He had wound a silk muffler around his neck and hanged himself to a gas bracket. The police theory is that young Schuyler committed suicide in a fit of despon dency. The grief stricken members of his family refuse to accept this view and his boy friends assert their belief that the young man came to his death In trying to discover exper imentally the sensations the victim of an execution by hanging might feel.

Men, as a rule, are first discovered by their enemies. Their antagonists turn on the searchlight, and the proof of merit will lie in being able to stand the flash. It was only in this way that Mr. White ever knew that dyspepsia was one of Mr. Black's worst enemies. Sit ting face to face at a two-by-four ta ble, he handed his afflicted friend the bill of fare: Oyster Cocktail. Stuffed Olives. Boston Clam Chowder. Strained Gumbo. Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms. Roast Beef Hash. Boiled Ox Tongue with Sauerkraut. Lobster a la Newburg. Baked Pork and Beans. Combination Crab Salad. -Hot Mince Pie. Pineapple Fritters. Mr. White ordered a "little of each My Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers and a glass of milk. "I had such a big breakfast this morning," he said "that I'll Just take a bite to keep you company." But Mr. White would not be deceived; "I am afraid you can't stand the gleam, Mr. Black. Why don't you say you have dyspepsia and be done with it? You'll always have that hungry look anyhow as long as you have dyspepsia. Now listen. My stomach was in Just as bad condition as yours at one" time. But now I can eat anything, at any time. For in stance, this clam chowder or sirloin steak or even the lobster would be Just as welcome to my stomach as your crackers and milk. You don't realize how this dyspepsia Dusiness is robbing you of your spirit, of your energy and ability to think quickly. I can't help notice it. You haven't the cheer and sociability you had three months ago. Now I'll tell you what to do," and thereat the cheer ful Mr. White took a vial from his pocket and extracted a wee tablet. "There, there is a tablet that contains an Ingredient, one grain of which di gests 3,000 grains of food. For even the worst dyspeptic it's the only thing that really gives relief. The reason is it relieves the stomach of nearly all the work it has to. do, digests every thing in the stomach and stimulates the gastric juice. I can't get along without them. They are Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. You can get them anywhere on earth for 50c a package. Yes, it is true, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets absolutely stop heartburn, nausea.

Stuart Co.. 160 Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich. bers of the present legislature and a meeting for this purpose was held in the capitol building this morning. The electrical lighting effect to be employed at the auditorium during the Midwinter exposition was tested last night and strangers who witness ed the display received the impression that the big show was opening a day early. John M. Wright, deputy county treasurer, who has been seriously ill at his home on Western avenue for several weeks, is able to be about though he will not attempt to resume his duties at the court house for a week or so. The t special car belonging to the Fi delity Immigration company of Kansas City, Mo., which was set out in the Santa Fe yards several days ago on ac count of an attachment, was released Saturday night and was taken east ward. The changes made by the new Santa Fe time card took effect at midnight last night but inasmucn as the time of the arrival and departure of To peka trains was not disturbed, the item is of little interest to residents of this city. With three vaudeville shows on East Eighth avenue and the Midwinter just around the corner there certainlyshould be plenty of amusement in That locality during the coming two weeks. Four vaudeville shows within a circumfer ence of one block. The basketball team of the Arctic Brotherhood of Nome, Alaska, was in Topeka Saturday afternoon on their way to Glasco, Kan., where they played last night.

William Henderson, who has passed the three score and ten mark, was operated on Saturday at Chirst's hospital for hernia and though the operation was a severe one, he rallied rapidly and the indications are that his recovery will be rapid. Some of these candidates for office who have already spent money on their campaigns rather wish now that they hadn't because the party primaries aro apt to be delayed several months and the campaign work will have to be done all over again at that time. A meeting of the Capital City Democratic club will be held at the office of Frank Thomas, 509 Kansas avenue this evening to which the Democratic members of the legislature have been invited1 as well as all others interested in the "Bryan for presi dent" movement. In all the seven years of the Midwin ter exposition, this is the first year In which the opening day was really a pleasant one. The Midwinter has al ways heretofore been synonymous with a cold wave. There seems to be a chance however that it will prove an exception this year. The seventh annual Midwinter ex position opened up in the Auditorium this afternoon at 1:30. Mr. Brigham, the manager, says that the exposition this winter will be better than ever and all that is needed to confirm his statement is a casual look into the par quet of the auditorium. It may or may not have been on account of the antipass law which is now in effect, but it was a notice able fact that a number of politicians who returned to their homes Satur day evening during last winter's ses sion and returned the following Mon day spent yesterday in Topeka. The big elevator in the. Santa Fe office building dropped several feet during the noon hour Saturday. Noth ing serious however happened as the elevator was stopped by the safety brakes. As it was it took thirty min utes for the twelve inmates to be re leased from the position in which they were caught between the first and sec ond floors. LEDEREB IS MARRIED.

Washington, Jan. 20. "Take him from every standpoint, but more espec ially the physical," said J. L. Bristow while In an analytical and reflective mood today, "and William H. Taft Is one of the most remarkable men I ever knew. "Just think of this," said the former fourth assistant postmaster general and enthusiastic Taft boomer. "Here is a sample of three days of last week that I happen to know personally concern ing: Mr. Taft worked all day Wednes day and Thursday in his office, attend ing to the multitude of things incident to the administration of his office, and receiving the stream of callers who came to see him. Then, each night, he worked at his residence until 3 a. m., with stenographers, clerks and others. After this had been repeated the second time, he arose after three hours' sleep to take a 7 o'clock train for New York City, where he was to make an address and attend to a lot of Important things. He returned to Washington that night, worked all day, and part of the night;, and departed again for New York to see about the Philippine railroad. "Secretary Taft has the most amaz ing mind I ever knew. Here is a con crete example: More than a year and a half ago I made a report on the con dition of affairs In the isthmus of Pan ama pertaining to transportation mat ters and the railroad and steamship lines, with their affect on transcon tinental rates. I made an exhaustive investigation, by direction of Secretary Taft and the president. I made my re port to the secretary in writing, and went over the most important of it with him personally. My commission for this work was renewed recently by the secretary, and I have Just about completed the work. When he asked me last fall while en route through Kansas on his way to the Philippines to renew this work, he astounded me by the perfect recollection he had of all the details of my prior investiga tion. Now to me, I having taken great interest and pride in the work, it was natural I should recall everything but think of the secretary doing so, with the multitude of things, of grave and weighty importance, with the incalcula bly numerous smaller matters, he has had up since then." What Mr. Bristow explains about is known to many of the secretary's close friends. All have not had it impressed upon them, or have realized it, to the extent that Mr. Bristow has; but Sec retary Taft is a constant revelation to those With whom he comes in intimate contact. He has an admirable mind, a legal mind, a Judicial mind, and is call ed the best posted man in public af fairs In Washington. He is optimistic, he does not worry, he has apparently no nerves. His body is big, and his mind is clear, and happy. Mr. Taft keeps a corps of secretaries, clerks and stenographers busy all the time. .He works all day at his office, barring twice a week cabinet meetings and occasional absences, or perhaps a short brisk walk or horseback ride. Then he works at night, as stated by Mr. Bristow, far Into the "ensuing grey a, m." If he takes the train, it is to work, in a drawing room, with pencil and pad, with stenographer, with secre tary, or with masses of pamphlets, doc uments and reports. Just think for a moment something the secretary Is doing these days: He is head of the greatest department in the government, with possibly the sin gle exception of the state portfolio. He has all the vast war department orig inal duties: Supervision of the army, the military posts, the engineering corps, which has control of all public works throughout the country, bridges, and the like, waterways, etc.; then there Is the colonial administration all in his hands, the Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico, and Hawaiian matters. Then there is the canal, the greatest work of any nation since time began to run. Then he is the man relied upon by the president for any sort of emer gency work. And last but not least he is running for president! No man ever did the work he is doing today, and very few could. Ixs Angeles, California.

With clothing aflame, the married daughter of the Widow Hudiberg. residing in the Peebler district northwest of town late in the evening ran from her mother's house across an 80-acre field toward the high banks of Elk river. Her husband who has for some time been confined to his bed from serious illness, from his room saw his wife de liberately set fire to her skirt. In a moment she enveloped In flame. With an outcry h"e arose from his bed and started toward her. Perceiving herself detected, the wife took to flight. In his weakened condition he was unable to follow. The alarm was sent to Curtis Roark, a neighbor who set out in pursuit of the fleeing woman. Young Krienhagen, a farmer boy residing in the neighbor hood, saw Roark running and inquired as to the cause. Hurried explanations led to his joining in pursuit. Seeing herself thus pursued, the woman di verted her course from the river bank and sought the woods. She was soon overtaken. Her clothing was almost en tirely burned from her body but her flight had prevented her choking by the flames. The woman is apparently of sound mind and no cause for this strange freak of desperation is known. Just previously she had left the room of her husband, but no evidence of a quarrel or misunderstanding between them were known. She is the mother of two small chil dren. It is thought that her purpose in running toward the river was, on reaching the high banks, to make a plunge in hope of drowning herself be fore her pursuers reached her. Her husband's outcry warned her that, if suicide were her purpose, she would be frustrated in the attempt to suffocate herself. BELASCO WITH FISKE. Theatrical Managers Join in Interest of Independent Stage. New York. Jan. 20. David Belasco and Harrison Grey Fiske have Joined hands, and, to all appearances, in the interest of an independent stage. By the terms of a contract signed Mrs. Fiske will find a permanent home at the Belasco theater, and on its stage her husband, Harrison Grey Flske, will present from time to time his various attractions. The news of the agreement between Mr. Belasco and Mr. Fiske was the subject of general discussion along Broadway and at the various theatrical clubs. It is significant. It brings Harrison Grey Fiske into greater prominence as a theatrical manager, and without doubt will strengthen Mr. Belasco's position as the greatest independent producer and writer of plays America has had. There is even mention that Mr. Belasco may take Mr. Fiske as a busi ness associate; the firm to be known as Belapco Fiske; but on that point Mr." Belasco would not touch, and Mr. Fiske thought it premature. GRIZZLY IX AX IXCTBATOR. Baby Bear Found Nearly Frozen In the Zoo. New York, Jan. 20. Two births and a death was the Bronx Zoo's Sunday con tribution to the city's vital statistics. Two new born grizzly bears were found in the morning in the cage occupied by a pair of the big animals. Engineer and Vira. as they are known by the keep ers. One of them had been frozen to death in the night. The other was barely breathing. The keepers and Physician Blair of the Zoo, decided that the survivor was in a bad way and would need careful nursing. Grizzlies born in captivity are rare and a special effort was made to save the youngster. Keeper Alexander Ferguson took it home and placed it in his wife's care. The combination of frequent feedings of milk through a dropper to the cub and the warmth of a kitchen oven are doing wonders for the ten-ounce bear bab:-. KEEP THE CHANGE. Thirty-two Counterfeit Half Dollars Found In CI lurch Collection. New York, Jan. 20. Orders .have been Issued in a number of Roman Catholic churches In Greater New York, direct ing ushers who take up collections to discontinue giving change to those who wish to contribute. It has been the habit to give change to those who ask ed for it on the ground that they did not have coins of the size they wished to put in the contribution box. It has been discovered that a large number of counterfeit half dollars found their way into the church collections in that man ner. The passers of the money would drop a lead half dollar into the box In that manner, and received 25 cents change. Many churches have been thus victimized, one church having found 32 of the counterfeit coins in one Sunday's collections.

One year ago it was the unanimous opinion of the assembled legislature that Topeka was no fit place in which to spend the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday. As one man the legislature packed) its tooth brush and spare collar and went home. Even the resident members spent the day in foreign parts, to wit. Missouri. Behold the change. The presence of 97 per cent of our legis lators during the whole of the Sab bath Just past. Indicates a wond'erful transformation. Then the town of fered no inducements to the makers of laws, puna and noises, as a Sunday resort now they are all with us. The Civic Improvement club, the present city administration, the weather man and the local hotel keeper, each is required to come for ward and claim responsiDility for an attractive Sunday TopeKa. Mean while, the anti-pass law will please shut up. ing to pin a tag on the sacred person ing to pin a tag o ntne sacred person of Mister Stubbs. The senate has dared to intimate, by means of its "split primary" bill, that one office might be enough at a time for Mister Stubbs. Mister Stubbs is bitterly opposed to the bill, and therefore it should be sewed up. The fact that he is bitter- Trying to Fix l"p the Split Primary. ly opposed should be reason enough for killing the bill, and legislators will please govern themselves accord ingly. In the meantime, persons who are onto Mister Stubbs and his idea of framing it to take his choice of two good Jobs, will please step over in this corner, and shout in unison: "Hurrah for Fitzpatrick, Duke of Sedian! May his eyesight never fail, nor his axe become dull. Go to it Fitz, you may lose, but we will have some fun in tho meantime." There are other important reasons why the "split primary" bill should be ditched. Uncle Cy Leland and lit tle Edgar Fisher are both opposed to it, and have voiced their displeasure. The displeasure of Uncle Cy and Little Edgar should have great weight in the senate, the (Displeasure of Little Edgar in particular. "They call me the kid of this house," said Little Edgar a year ago, as he rose to deliver his maiden speech. Just then th.? rrpeaker recog nized another member as having the floor, and the kid' member dropped- out of sight. But that was a year ago, and Little Edgar is no longer a kid. It is rumored that his vote is actually counted this winter. Therefore, senators, beware! Fisher is opposed to the split primary. Back up, while there Is yet time. It has been suggested that some -enterprising Kansas bard manufacture a song entitled, "See the Rabbits Run." This would make a hit, and prove one of the six best sellers, ex cept among the rabbits themselves. To properly handle this subject, however, it will be necessary to dig Into history. The largest rabbit cr"p There Are a Lot of Jackrabblts in Kansas. was not hatched this season, and a majority of the rabbit herd may be classed as yearlings. After a rabbit has acted the part for a sufficient length of time, he gets used to it, for gets his origin, and tries to make himself believe he is a wolf with a long tail. There are at this time, in the Kansas legislature, a number of rabbits, who, because they cannot change their- fur and ears, have eome to the conclusion that after all, a rab bit is under estimated, and Is really a wild ferocious beast. With a few exceptions, the rabbits vt 1908 were the rabbits of 1907. Beside the rabbit proper, we have two other classifica tions. There Is the foxy rabbit, who refuses to come out of his hole, and the rabbity fox, who runs before as certaining whether he is being chased by a rabOit or a wild cat. Some peopie are Under the impres sion that the rabbit is a worthless ani mal, and that his hide should be sus pended on a barb wire fence at the earliest opportunity. Not so, Augustine. The rabbit is useful in one particular: Were it not for the rabDit, we would have no litting comparison for eome of our legislators. In Pennsylvania this morning,-"the courts decided that the railroads could charge a fare of three cents per mile, and if thel pee-pul didn't like It they could ride In automobiles. This will be an awful Jolt to the anti railroad gang in Kansas, which has just decided that raUroadia may charge two cents per mile if they want to, and. get oft the earth if they do not. Owing to other pressing engagements, the gallery spectator was not per mitted to tote the glad tickings to Balie Waggener in person, and he was informed by telephone. In the words of the poet, "Every lit tle bit, added to another bit, makes two-bits," and this Pennsylvania de cision may assist the Kansas railroads in their wild effort to stay on the earth. It seems to be generally con ceded by the railroadis that the pas sage of a two-cent law at this session will materially aid in getting back to the three-cent basis. The passage of such a bill relieves the railroads of their end of an agreement made last winter, to charge two cents only pending a legal investigation of the case. Now that the state has violated its end of the contract, the railroads are bound by no moral obligation, and may at any time kick the legislature in -the jaw and proceed as in days of old. It should now be an easy matter for the railroads to make good their con tention that the two-cent rate is con fiscatory. For the last year the rail roads have teen without a cause of ac tion. They could not make a case stick, because the existing rate was by agreement, and not compulsory. the crry hikes lawyers. Loomis, in air Scandrett Will Help In Sewer Case.
