Eryan Supporters Would Have Delaware Man en Ticket. Chanler of New York Is Not Satisfactory. Goyernor Johnson's Headquar ters Are Opened. Denver. Col.. July 1. The princi pal event In connection with the forth- AAmlnir T"lemrternHn nntlnnAl Cnnven- k! f tlon today was the arrival of Frede- rick B. Lynch of Minnesota, as the l. f "tfrepreser five In chief of tne presi Jy-rT-Tz 1 Justice ficon;o t.ray of Delaware. W dential boom of Governor John A. Johnson of that state. A reservation of quarters at the Albany hotel was made several weeks ago by Mr. Lynch and a suite of rooms has been prepared for him and his staff. The announcement of Mr. Lynch's coming had the effect of causing a re newal of the discussion of the pos sibilities of the nomination of the gov- ernor for the vice presidency, rather than for the presidency. It was con ceded on all hands, privately even by the supporters of Governor John Bon. that his nomination for the first position was problematical: but his friends were staunch in their deter mination to have his name presented to the convention for the presidency, even in the face of the possibility of ms dereat, and most or them were quite as positive In the declaration that he would not accept the second place even if It should be tendered to him. The discussion of the Minne sota governor's chances for the vice presidency, while quite general among the uninformed, was not Indulged In seriously by those who were in ac cordance with the Inner Bryan circles. They did not accept his name with fa vor and it may be announced even thus far in advance of the meeting of the convention that the Minnesota man will not be Mr. Bryan's running mate In the event of the Nebraskan's nomination: Mr. Bryan's most intimate friends nd most steadfast supporters are quite determined on that point. While they do not openly criticize Mr. John son's candidacy they are very evenly displeased with the fact that he enter ed the race and it Is even Intimated tl that Mr. Bryan himself would not fa- orably consider the Johnson candi dacy for the vice presidency. Bryan Men Want Gray. On the other hand It Is known that Judge Gray, of Delaware would be in every way acceptable to Mr. Bryan as the candidate for the second place and the position Is generally conceded to Mm If he will accept It. His conser vatism Is not a bar, but rather a help to his candidacy. Mr. Bryan has at no time taken the position against a conservative associate, but has said to many of his friends, that he would not object to a running mate who does not go to the lengths that he does if In other respects the man were ac ceptable. Mr. Bryan's closest friends conceded the wisdom of selecting a candidate who would be in closer ac cord with eastern thought than Is Mr. Bryan himself and they point out that while Judge Gray meets this demand, that in many respects he would not be antagonistic to Mr. Bryan's especial npporters. It Is believed that his connection with the anthracite coal strike arbitration of a few years ago would immensely add to the popularity of the ticket among the laboring classes, and it is contended that during his long career In the United States senate and on the federal bench, he has never in any way antagonized the labor interest. It Is conceded that Judge Gray Is not a candidate for second place, but the contention is persistently made that If the nomination should be tendered him he would not refuse it. It is known that he found his work in the senate thoroughly congenial and those familiar j wun nis disposition say that he would prefer the vice presidency to his work on the bench. Chanler Will Not If the nomination does not go to judge iray. New York will probably claim it. and in that contingency the jsew lorKers who are on the ground assert that the position will be award ed to that state if the New York dele atlpa can unite upon a candidate. In other words, the situation with refer ence to the vice .presidency in the Den ver convention, now parallels the vice presidential situation in the Chicago convention previous to the nomination of Mr. Sherman. As in Chicago, the difficulty may be in uniting upon an available candidate. The developments of the day have already practically eliminated Lieutenant Governor Chan ler from the contest. Mr. Bryan's friends are not favorably inclined to him because they are doubtful as to whether his position on the tariff would place him in accordance with Mr. Bryan. In this connection It is made apparent that past public utter ances of Mr. Chanler on this subject have received close scrutiny, with the result that they are regarded as not ac curately representing the present posi tion of the dominant element in the party. With Mr. Chanler thus practically dis posed of, there has been discussion of the name of Representative Francis Burton Harrison, of New York and the name of Hon. John B. Stanchfleld. of Elmyra, N. Y., was also prominently mentioned today In connection with the office. The confidence manifested by the New Yorkers in speaking of Mr. Stanchfleld Is the best evidence of their belief that If he should be brought for ward as a candidate, he would not only unite the New York delegation, but would command the immediate support of Mr. Bryan's closest following. Mr. Stanchfleld is one of Mr. Bryan's old friends In the east, and while ranked as a conservative, he gave the Nebras kan his loyal support in his campaign of 1896. and 1900. His standing as a lio Is favored for Mce Ircsidcnc by Men. private citizen and his reputation as a public man are regarded as strong points in his favor, and it Is confident ly asserted that he would add greatly to the strength of the presidential tick et, not alone In New York, but in many other eastern states. There has also been mentioned the name of Mr. Nor man E. Mack of Buffalo, present na tional committeeman from New York, but Mr. Mack, who Is on the ground pooh poohs the suggestion. Glenn Is Mentioned. Among those of the south mentioned in connection with the vice presidential nomination is Governor Robert B. Glenn of North Carolina and Mr. Glenn is already represented In Denver by H. M. Holleman and other friends, who are working among the delegates as they arrive. They call attention to the fact that the governor won marked praise by his oratory at the recent gov ernor's assembly in Washington, and also point to his record in connection with railroad legislation in North Car olina, claiming that he would not only on account of his record but because of his capacity as a speech maker make an effective candidate. The headquarters of Judge George Gray of Delaware were thrown open today. Josiah Marvel of Wilmington, Del., and R. J. Beamish of Philadelphia, who are In charge of the Delaware man's campaign, had intended to open the headquarters and launch the Gray boom last night, but they were badly delayed in reaching the city and when they arrived at their rooms at the Sa voy hotel. It was decided to postpone tne opening until today. Even then the Gray people were the first to open regular headquarters. Yesterday they caused numerous litho graphs of their candidate o be placed around the leading hotels and they were early today the only pictures of any candidate to be seen in the city, except in the headquarters of the na tional committee, where pictures of all the presidential aspirants are display ed conspicuously. Mr. Marvel declared last night and reiterated today that Judge Gray is not a candidate for anything but the presidency. He was asked if the Judge would accept the nomination provided the convention adopted a platform con taining a radical anti-injunction plank. To this Mr. Marvel replied: "I do not think that such a condition will arise. From all I can gather the Denver platform will not contain any utterance on the anti-injunction pro position varying largely from the ex pressions contained in Democratic platforms for the last 12 years." Stress was laid by Mr. Marvel upon the fact that there are 400 uninstructed delegates in the convention and he be lieves that Judge Gray will be able to obtain many of them on the first bal lot, more' of them on the second ballot and will then-make inroads in the Bryan delegations that will eventually result In the nomination of the Dela ware candidate. It has been decided by the Delaware delegates that L. L. Layton shall rep resent that state on the committee on resolutions. He is expected to arrive In this city in company with a large number .of other Gray boomers on the evening of July 4. According to Mr. Marvel the Delaware delegation has some well developed ideas of what the anti-injunction plank should be, but will not make them public until they are offered by Mr. Layton when the platform committee meets. That these ideas are In harmony with the views expressed in the last three platforms of the Democratic party is admitted. No arrivals of Dolitical Imnortane were registered early today at any of gatich has, as yet, put in an appear- tContlnued on Page Eight) STRIKEIMSIGIIT Freight Handlers' Union in Chi cago Beady to Quit. Meeting Held Last Night and Action Endorsed. DEMAND IS MODEST. Ask Only for Assurance That Wages Won't Be Reduced. That, Says President Flannery, Is All That Is Wanted. Chicago, July 1. Railroad managers and officials of the freight handlers' union yesterday made active prepara tions for a strike. Hundreds of labor ers were hired at the various freight houses and are being held in readiness by the roads to pick up trucks should the union decide to walk out. The district council of freight hand lers met last night and Indorsed the action taken at the mass meeting Mon day night. The entire matter was placed in the hands of the International executive board with Instructions to take what ever action was necessary to force a written agreement that there shall be no reduction in wages for the next 12 months. President Flannery of the Interna tional union will endeavor to confer with the railroad managers today and get in writing the assurance that he says has been verbally given that there will be no wage reduction. That, he declared, was all that the union is ask ing for. FULTON IS RECEIVER. Topeka Man Takes Charge of Big Lumber Company In St. Louis. St. Louis, July 1. Robert M.

HAS ITS EVIDENCE ALL IX. The State Rests In the Carr Murder Case at Marion. Marlon. Kan.. July 1. The eighth day of the trial of William Carr was devoid or Interest except to tne prin cipals. The state has rested its case and the defense outlined Its prospec tive evidence. Carr has not yet been put on the stand. Engineer Bleler tes tified that he saw a man on the north side of the express car as No. 115 slowed up for the Missouri Pacific crossing, but could not distinguish his features. The man. he said, had on a short overcoat. Fireman Wood saw two men get off on the south side and run south. The case will probably be in the Jury's hands Thursday.- The first witness introduced by the defense was H. A. Osborn, Wells Fargo agent at Emporia. He was in the car when train No. 116 passed there but did not see the defendant. G. W. Patterson, operator for th Rock Island at Peabody. testified that shortly after the Santa Fe trains came in that morning, a tall man came car rying a grip and bundle and bought a ticket to Wichita. The man appeared to be very nervous and excited. W. H. Thomas, conductor on the early morning Rock Island train, testi fied that there was no passenger got on his train that morning at Peabody. IT. G. Wood of Argentine, fireman on train 115, saw two men get off at Newton and run south. He thought they got off of the baggage car. W. R. Beeler, engineer on the same train, said he saw two men get off and run north. In order to relieve the monotony the witnesses held a concert In the park Monday night. A collection was taken and the band hired. There were several selections by the band, sing ing by a quartette and a couple of ad dresses. Case to the Jury Today. A hung Jury is expected In the Carr case which will probably go to the Jury this afternoon. The defense this morn ing offered some pretty strong testi mony In "refutation of the prosecution's leading evidence. The' character of Purdum. the star witness for the pros ecution, was assailed by several wit nesses who proved beyond a doubt that Purdum was not a man liable to give very accurate testimony. His veracity was shown to be very poor. Purdum was the man who testified to seeing Carr come into the barber shop with the box and soiled overcoat The defense is surprising everyone concerned in the trial with the strong case which is being -made for Carr. Two or three witnesses remain yet to be placed upon the witness stand after which the pleas f the attor neys will be made and' the-judge de liver, his Instructions previous to sending the Jury out for a verdict. It is thought that all this will be done this afternoon. Tha case will go to the jury about supper time and a ver dict will probably not be returned for several hours. Kvery Indication now points to a hung Jury. A church af fair became mixed up m the case at the last moment which, makes it bet ter for Carr, It Is said.:, TAX MEN ARE BUSY.

NOT BLAME SOUTH Booker Washington Says Thej Hare Done Well by Negro, That Is, As Well as Could Be Ex pected Under Circumstances. NEED OF EDUCATION. Only Fifty Cents Spent on Each Negro Child. In North the Arerage is Fire Dollars. Cleveland, July 1. Booker T. Washington spoke before the National Educational association last night. He said: "One-fourth of the physical portion of the Union Is comprised In a territory in which the negro Is depended upon very largely as the chief laborer." The race in America now numbers not far from 10 million. Within a few years, perhaps in this generation the race will have increased to 15 million. I repeat that they are going to remain in this country for all times, and principally In the southern states. These millions of my race can be made useless or useful. They can be made to help or to hinder. They can be made to become criminals or law abiding citizens. They can be mad potent factors In our country or be conle a load of ignorance, dragging down our civilization. Which shall it be? "Some people are fond of asserting' that education as a force to uplift the negro is a failure. Education has never been tried among the rank and file of our people on scale large enough to warrant; any such Judg-' ment. The great bulk of our people have scarcely been touched by educa tion. According to official statistics two years ago, there were 1,400,000 children of my race of school age, who were not even enroled In the public schools, and a large portion of those i enrolled, especially In the country districts were in school only four or five months during, the year. Do you know' what it means to the good .name and future security of this country to' have in one part of It a million and a. .half pf children grow ing up each year wholly without, edu- cation T "An untrained horse or dog is use- less and non-effective; how much more Is this 'true of a human being?' "On the basis of school popula tion, each child In the northern states' had spent upon him last year for his education for teaching purposes about five dollars. "On the basis of school population, each negro child in the south had spent upon him for teaching purposes about 50 cents. At this rate it is im possible to. educate the children of 10 millions of people, sufficiently to make them useful and effective citi zens. I do not complain or criticize the south, but I simply state facts. The south out of its poverty has done well, and it deserves credit for what it has done. "What is the remedy? What Is the one great need of the race today? In my opinion it' la strong, unselfish. In telligent negro teachers and workers and by this I mean teachers such as we are trying to send out from Hampton, from Fisk, from Talladega and Tuskegee and a score of other educational centers in the south."

The completion of this work practically will give the road a new route from the Missouri river to the Kocky Mountains, made up of the hew Helen cutoff and the reconstructed Panhandle division. Over this all its transcontinental traffic, both passenger and freight,, will be handled. The prosecution of this work is the reason for the great increase in operat ing expenses during the current fiscal year, amounting to some W.5O0.0OO for the first ten months, as whenever there has been an abandonment of the old route for a new. the original cost of the old has been charged off to operating expenses. At one time it was hoped to have this reconstruction work completed by the end of the current flscal year, but this has been found to be Impossible. The present Intention is to open the new route to traffic gradually as It is finish ed, and now It is hoped that the whole wtll be under operation early in the fall. An actual saving of 60 miles in dis tance will be effected, and the maxi mum grade will be 1.25 per cent, and that only at one point, whereas the maximum on the old route was 3.5 per cent at least two points. When the division la completed the Santa Fe will have a route from Chicago across the Rocky Mountain range, the heaviest grade of which, except at the one point referred to, will be 0.6 per cent. This will enable the road, should it be so minded, to clip 24 hours off Its running time between Chicago and Ban Francisco. NEW SHOPS FOR KANSAS CITY. Expect to Employ About Seven Hun dred Men. Kansas City Is to have shops for the repairing and construction of railroad cara. A deal was closed today by which F. H. Niles. president and man ager of the Blue Island Car Equip ment company of Chicago leased 18.8 acres of ground from the Kansas City Belt Railway company. Shops will be built on the ground by a company to be known as the Sheffield Car Equipment company. The tract leased lies east of the Blue river and adjoins the Belt Line and the Kansas City Southern tracks. "We have found It necessary to ex pand," Mr. Niles said at the Kansas City club this afternoon. "We pur pose to put in shops here at once, em ploying from S00 to 400 men.

One of the most damaging reports that will be made to United States Judge Smith McPherson when, in October, he opens for a final trial the case of the eigh teen Missouri railways against the en forcement of the 2-cent passenger rate law. will be the report for June of the Union depot Joint ticket office. All offices are now keeping special records for use of the court. In fuller detail than the records ordinarily re quired by the company auditors. "It will snow, saia Lynn tsanKs. Joint ticket agent, "a falling off not less than 2. ana possmiy g. per cent. This means from 24 to 33 per cent per year, a loss that few enterprises can "withstand. The loss Is small In comparison, but it is not a fair com parison. My office ought to show a decided increase, though there might not be so many people travel. There Is now no saving in buying round trip tickets. The consequence Is nobody buys them, preferring to carry money, which they can handle, to a small ticket which may be lost or destroyed. This collapse of the round trip busi ness sends to the Joint ticket office the resident from Seda'ia, Marshall, Ne vada. Rich Hill and all the other towns, here for a few days, Increasing my receipts Just so much. In spite of this added new business, my receipts are falling off. It looks bad. The 2 cent fare did not promote travel as It was contended it would." This showing by the Joint ticket agent surprised uptown ticket agents, who thought the depot ticket office would show a marked and continued Increase. "Kvery office on the street ts run ning behind. said an uptown agent. "We had all been taking It for grant ed that the Union depot office was selling the return tickets. If Mr. Banks says he is not getting the busi ness. I predict that the summary re port will show a shrinkage of 25 per cent." FRISCO IMPROVEMENTS. Several New Projects Scheduled for Southwest Missouri. Springfield, Mo.. July 1. Three miles of track are being put In at the new Frisco shops for the purpose of storing bad order cars, there being about 700 of them at Springfield. This probably caused the rumor that work will soon begin on the new shops. Thirty foreigners are at work on the Bolivar line. It Is the Intention of the Frisco to keep this gang, in addi tion to the regular force of section men, most of the balance of the sum mer in order to do necessary work on all tracks in and about Springfield. The Frisco Is today placing chats on Mill street under the track to raise It to grade. It was lowered at the re quest of- the city council so that the track would be on a level with the grade of the street. There will be no night work done as rumored. It -will be impossible for the company to do anything toward paving the street un til the work of lowering and relaying the tracks Is completed. CLARK, GENERAL. MANAGER.

Toakum. chairman of the Rock Island-Frisco executive committee, said today that the July 1 interest on the Frisco bonds would be paid. "There has never been any doubt of that," he said. From an other source it was learned that the Frisco including the Chicago East ern Tllinnts n..li --I wi -i uuau piuuuuir snow earnings of $1,200,000 over fixed charges for the year. AP official of the Frisco last night i made this statement: "We have com- Ipleted arrangements for all the pay ments which we have to make at any time in the near future. The con tracts remove all uncertainty regard ing the financial condition of the Frisco road. It would appear that certain bear interests had information regarding the financing we had to do and seised the opportunity to depress the securities which we were prepar ing to sell, or upon which we might desire to borrow. Their efforts were not successful. however, and the Frisco is in a position to meet all its payments. The bear attack, neverthe less, made it more difficult to make the arrangements which we had to make." Among the payments which the Frisco has to make today are semi annual interest payments at 4 per cent a year on $64,000,000 of refunding mortgage bonds, and at 5 per cent on $7,500,000 of notes, and, in addition, interest on many smaller issues, in cluding interest and installment pay ments on equipment issues.

Men Say They Will Stay Until August. OFTEN STOE IN JUNE. Som of the Men Fled io the HiTTet for a Change. Those Who Stay Say the Fac tory Is the Coolest. Chanute, July 1. From present in dications the Chanute Window Glass plant will continue operations until the first of August. The company says that it will run as long as the men will work. Usually glass plants are shut down in June because of the heat. Al though there 'have been some exceed ingly warm days the past month the men are working the same as they do in cooler seasons, and there has been as much glass made as in the winter. The Chanute plant is the coolest one in the state. It la built so that the tank faces the south, from whence the prevailing summer breezes come, and plenty of ventilation is provided by the windows on the south side of the building. It is likely that the men will work as long as the company will keep the fire going, as the run was short last year, and the plant was very late in starting this season, so that the men have not had the chance to earn their usual annual income. It will be necessary to close down for a few weeks before starting on next year's fire, that repairs may be made. The shut down will be short, however, and the plant will probably start on the next season's fire early in September. Some of the men have gone to the western part of the state to work in the harvest fields. There has been no scarcity of help, though, as the Cha nute plant is the only one now run ning in the state, and the season was a short one everywhere, because of the controversy over the wage scale. The men who stayed at work here think thev will feel the heat no more in the factory than their fellows will in the harvest fields under the rays of the sun. A STEWART JURY SECURED.

If Plan for Proposed D ykes to Protect Farms. tection by planting willows. Right at the edge of the embank ment between the earth dike' and the stream the suggestion is to plant wil lows which grow quickly and thickly together and then to avoid undermin ing of the. bank firmly fasten logs at an angle. The one end of the log would rest on the edge of the bank and the other would be fastened at the bottom of the stream. Every other log would be securely wired to a staple driven into the embankment while ev ery tenth log in addition to being driv en into the bottom of the stream would be wired to a heavy stone. The logs would be placed twenty feet apart and secured together by stringing a heavy barbed wire six inches apart from log to log the. entire distance from the top of the embankment to the end which rests in the stream. The barbed wire besides giving rigidity to the whole would catch the drift In passing and cause the formation of a secondary embankment. Cottonwood logs are best, says the city engineer, for they would sprout out and become regular trees in themselves after a time. A plan of the scheme as proposed is shown in the accompanying sketch, Mound Ridge Depot Burned. McPherson, Kan., July X. The Mis souri depot at Mound Ridge was bro ken into by burglars.

DRIVES OUT o BLOOD HUMORS The skin is not simply an outer covering of the body, bat through its thousands of pores and glands it performs the great and necessary work of regulating' our temperatures, and also assists in disposing of the refuse and waste matters of the system by the constant evaporation that goes on through these little tubes. To perform these duties the tissues and fibres which connect and surround the pores and glands must be continually nourished by pure blood. When from any cause the circulation becomes infected with impurities and humors, it loses its strengthening powers and begins to disease and irritate the delicate tissues, and produces Eczema, Acne, Tetter, or some other itching, disfiguring skin trouble. S. S. S. cures skin diseases of every kind by going down into the circulation and neutralizing and removing the impurities and humors. It changes the quality of the blood to a cool ing, health-producing stream, which, instead of irritating and inflaming the skin, cures and nourishes it by its soothing, healthful qualities. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., may be nsed for any temporary comfort they afford, but skin diseases cannot be cured until S. S. S. has purified the blood.

It probably Is not generally known that the state of Kansas has the power to keep the militia companies of all other states from traveling through Kansas If. it so desires. Governor Hoch, as commander in chief, and J, W. F. Hughes, adjutant general, have just given out a general order which reads as follows: i-ermisston is hereby granted to organized militia of any state to pass miuuKu ine state or nansas, armed and equipped: en route to and fmm the Joint military maneuvers, for the regular army and the organized mili tia, during the months of July, August and September. 1908." It Is a constitutional provision that no militia of one. state can be taken into or through another state without permission. It would be possible for Kansas to keep out the militia that are to be sent to Fort Riley this sum mer ii it so aesired.

Tell a woman that she looks like another woman if you want her to dislike you and loathe the other woman the rest of her life. Kansas you can't keep her down! Kansas women are in tne limelight at the Boston biennial meeting of the General Federation of Women's clubs. Mrs. W. A. Johnston of Topeka, was yesterday re-elected a director of the federation. And the Boston Evening Journal in a column devoted to the prominent club women present, has the following to say of Mrs. H. O. Garvey: Another, a Kansas woman, who brought with her some of the endur ance typical of the western plains, the calm restfulness of a Kansas sun set, and the quick, ready mind and tact found In the highest type of west ern womanhood, rose nobly to the onerous duties of her committee. Born in the east and educated in the west is her honor and privilege. This honor and privilege Is a combination which brings out the staunch eastern qualities intensified by the broader education so peculiar to the land of the sunflower. Mrs. H. O. Garvey of Kansas Is loved and honored by the women of her city and state as one who is ever ready to respond to a call for help, in making better schools, better laws, or for civic health and righteousness. Her home city owes to her more than it can ever repay. For to her execu tive ability as chairman of the relief committee during the great flood of 1903. is dtie the splendid results in caring for the thousands made home less by the overflowing waters. Somehow all this reminds me of the sentiment from a greater pen than mine: "Of all the states, but three will live in story. Old Massachusetts with her Ply mouth Rock, Virginia with her noble stock. And Kansas with her woe and glory." Hear also what the Boston Tran Bcript said: Many of these who heard the brief sketch which the president of the Kansas federation gave at Thursday night's session may be glad to know a little more of the really important work which that state is doing in carrying out the "club idea." Mrs. Eustace Brown, the president of the Kansas federation, has been in office one the ternational scholarship fund and has made a rule by which it will pay ex penses of state presidents to biennials and expenses of the district presidents to annual state meetings. The Kan sas scholarship fund is being increased constantly and the federation has sub scribed money for the purpose of pre serving historic sites. Mrs. William A. Johnston, wife of the chief Justice of Kansas, is prominent in the club work. She was the founder of the Kansas traveling libraries which are now owned and operated by the state, a library which now ranks third among all the traveling libraries of the United States. Mrs. Johnston is a past president of the state federa tion and during her administration caused a manual training law to be placed upon the statutes. At the eighth biennial she was made a direc tor in the general federation. Some girls,' who are all right other wise, try too hard. The Tell club will meet with Mrs, George W. Snyder Friday morning. Miss Helen Taft, who will probably be the next daughter of the White House, rides cross saddle and one of her objections to life in the White House is that she will have to give up the cross saddle for the side saddle to conform to Washington customs. Miss Taft is 16 years old and has graduated from the Baldwin Preparatory school and won a scholarship to Bryn Mawr where she will enter in the fall. She is five feet five Inches tall, has blue eyes and sunshiny hair and doesn't wear a rat. A popular trimming for the midsum mer hats, according to eastern authori ties, is dotted swiss in white or colors. These are used on leghorns, white chips and the other summer braids. And why not? Cretonne has been used with such good effect all season and it naturally led up to the Introduction of other summer fabrics. Mrs. V. B.

Heretofore the summer session has been marked for the fact that it has been entirely without a social side. The main reason for tills was that those who attended summer school were here for work and nothing else. The majority of the students were teachers from out of town or students who were either trying to graduate in three years or trying to get both their master and bachelor degrees at the same time. This year the "frivolous set" has invaded K. U. A number of the students are here making up "flunks" and there are others who have cases here. This new spirit has added to the summer school year.

And Kigtitrcn Huniliftl Men in Santa Fe Shops Return to Work. The big Santa Fe hops whistle blew Its usual Ions blasts at the regular times this morning and at 8 o'clock eighteen hundred men who are em ployed in the different departments at the shops resumed work after being idle twelve days. June 19 all the de partments of the local shops shut down with the exception of the car repair sheds and the planing mills. At first the men were laid off for a week end later the time was extended until today, v It is not known definitely that the rhops will be running with the prvsent full quota of men for a very long period. It Is hoped by the officials of lh. road that the movement of the wheat crop will commence within a week or so and that this will be suffi cient to warrant running the shops with all the men. The closing which ended this morn ing extended all over the Santa Fe system and the gulf and coast lines. Over four thousand men were affected, all of whom returned to work this morning. The present working schedule of the shops will amount to nine and eight hours per day. Most of the shops will work on an eight hour schedule. This, however, is but temporary, and as soon as the volume of business will warrant it the time will be lengthened. The officials of the mechanical depart ment hope to be able to keep the shops running and Increase the time within a few weeks. In several of the shops there is a slight falling oft in the number of employes. Many of the workmen, tired with the uncertainties of rail road life, have gone to the harvest fields for a few weeks and are now as sisting in harvesting the crop-"which it Is thought will put the roads on their feet again.

THE TOPEKA "DAILYfBTAffi 1908. h TAYLOR TELLS IT Explains His Resignation From Topeka Southwestern. Stepped Aside for Good of the Project 11EAJ MEN ARE COMING Messrs. Herbert and Curnfck Here In Few Days. Says That Success of Project Is Assured. W. L. Taylor, former president of the Topeka Southwestern railroad, received word today that H. M. Her bert, president of the construction company which is to build the line, will be in Topeka early, this month in company with F. J. Curnick. The lo cal members of the company have been busy during the week in raising funds to pay for the remainder of the right of way to. the weat line of Shaw nee county and the indications, are that the work of constructing the line will commence-within a short time.- Much has been said pro and con since Mr. Taylor. was ousted from the presidency of the road and afterwards from the construction company and for the first time Mr. Taylor has stated his side of the proposition in an Inter-, view which follows. "I have been asked a great many Imes why I resigned from the presi dency of the Topeka Southwestern railroad company and afterwards rom the board of directors," said Mr. Taylor. "In the past I have refused to dis cuss the proposition, but I feel in jus tice to myself that I should say some thing at this time as it now seems that the success of the road Is assured. A number of men whom I considered my friends came to me during the past year and told me that Topeka inves tors were losing confidence in the proposition on account of my inability to finance it. These same men went to the members of the board of direc tors and prejudiced them against me to such an extent that I felt that I could aid the project more by resign ing than remaining in the company, "These men well knew that nothing could be accomplished towards build ing the road until the local company had complied with their contract and furnished the right of way. Stories were started to the effect that there was friction between .Mr. Curnick and myself. When these stories reached the ears of E. A. Austin, the local at torney for the company he wrote Mr. Curnick and asked for a frank state ment of the facta in the case. "Mr. Curnick wrote Mr. Austin the following letter which should set at rest these stories: 'Mr. A. E. Austin, replying to your letter in regard to Mr. Taylor will say: "I beg to take pleas ure in stating that there Is no friction worthy of word between this end and Topeka. Mr. Taylor undoubtedly has been unable to accomplish some things that he thought he could and may have handled some matters that might have been attempted In some other way but. I certainly feel Jie has done the best he conld find In good faith. No one Is to blame for not being able to do everything successfully that he sets out to do." "He closes this letter by saying, 'I sincerely hope that there is no friction in Topeka. but If there is that it can all be wiped out and confidence main tained to the highest degree.' "The contents of the above letter were read to the directors of the rail way company and the directors of the Commercial club as well. I could see that there was a certain clique whose whole aim was to get rid of me and would resort to any method in order to accomplish their end. The hard work of promoting the line had been done, that being the case they wanted me out of the way. "I went to New York and had a con ference with Mr. Curnick on the sub ject and told him that I would resign In order to promote peace and har mony here, for if I had made a fight or had permitted ray friends to do so, It would have caused the withdrawal of Lampreeht Bros. Co., and Messrs. Herbert and Curnick from the proposi tion which would have been the end of the Topeka Southwestern forever. I resigned about the 20th of February, and at that time the board of directors knew Just what was expected of them in order to get the railroad built. It was then the same as it was last Mon day. I had preached to our board of directors that we must furnish the right-of-way and when that was done work would begin, but my opposition y.had prejudiced the bond subscribers to such an extent that it was useless for me to urge them to pay up, therefore I stepped aside, the matter was turned over to a new management last Feb ruary at which time the Construction company was ready to go to work. Nothing had been done by. the railway company until last Monday at which time they paid the Trust company who trustee for the bonds. As soon as they did that the Construction com pany qualified under the Kansas law. This would have been done six months ago had the local company heeded my requests. "As I have stated I resigned last February, and up until last Thursday afternoon I took no part In the affairs of the company. On last Thursday member of the finance committee came into my office and solicited my assist ance in raising the necessary money to deposit with the county treasurer, I assured him that I was positive that the money could be raised in time if the proper course was pursued and all I asked was for htm to get the strong est business men of the city together and endorse what I have represented to the people for the past year con cerning the Southwestern proposition. If after they had carefully investigated my representations and found them to be correct all "I asked them to do was to so state to the people. I wrote an in terview for the papers giving the his tory of the promotion of- the South western together with a statement of what was needed and if the people would meet the need of the company what the result would be. When the strong business men of Topeka got up and verified my statement it made bond selling easy. I sent a $500 sub scription up to the meeting Friday and secured $3,000 more at the luncheon Saturday, all that was accomplished Saturday should have been done ten days after the commission, had filed their report with the county treasurer instead of waiting ninety. At the luncheon Saturday Mr. Robinson read from a letter written by Mr. Curnick wherein he stated that if this matter had been attended to long ago ten miles of the line would now be built, that Is a fact, the conditions of our agreements were the same Saturday as they were when I resigned and Mr. Curniekr and Mr. Herbert who own the construction company have not made one- concession but stood Arm 6"n the original proposition which was; .that the railway company should deliver the bonds to the fiscal agents; secure the right of way and the construction company-would commence at once to build a railroad according to the agreement. "I make these statements so those who are not familiar with the conditions pertaining to the Southwestern, will understand It fully, and that from now on they will give it their support. I knew, that right would prevail in the end. but as I have stated had I stood a fight it might have resulted In the' defeat of the whole proposition, so I waited in silence until such a time that a statement of facts would result in good for the enterprise. "As I stated in my interview Friday morning I am going to give all the help I can to the Southwestern, not withstanding the treatment received from some of those interested, I shall overlook it and say nothing more. Both Mr. Curnick and Mr. Herbert thor oughly investigated my administration as. president when they were here. They are both, honorable and upright busi ness' men' and 'they assured me. that I would come "out all right in the end. They found While here that I had made no misrepresentations to my directors, as every letter from these gentlemen to. the president was copied and sent to each member of the board; so that they were fully posted-as to what was going on at all times. Messrs. Herbert and Curnick are business nien of high standing in their respective communi ties and-.the business mehjof Topeka are making no mistake w.hen they en courage such men to help them In any enterprise that means so much for Topeka." STAYS IN AIR ALL DAY. Count von Zeppelin Shows Swiss How to Fly. Friedrichshafenr July 1. The Zeppelin airship reached Basle at half past 10 and Lucerne at "a quar ter past 12. It ia now, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, returning to Lake Con stance, via Zurich. A telephone message from Lucerne, Switzerland, says that Count von Zeppelin is maneuvering over the city and the lake of Lucerne in his steer able balloon. Tourists and the local population have gathered on the lake front and are cheering the- enormous airship as It circles over the lake, ap parently under the absolute control of its pilot. .It was Count von Zeppelin's inten tion to remain in the air all day. It is understood that the proposed voyage to Mayenee will be post poned for a week or two owing to the necessity of accumulating an adequate supply of gas. SUPREME COURT AT WORK Begins on July Docket to Clean Vp Cases. The supreme court began today hearing the cases set for the July term. Under the law the July ses sion of the court begins the first Tuesday in the month but the court has always held a short term in July of each year, only the most import. ant cases being taken up. Under the rules adopted by the court it was de cided" to have the July hearings to day and tomorrow as a part of the term of the court. The first session of the July term will- beiheld In Octo ber. .The July sitting of the-court is the time for cleaning up the docket of important cases and taking up criminal cases which must be heard as soon as presented to the court. All of the cases are set for hearing to day and tomorrow and it is probable that the decisions of the court will be given out tomorrow night as there will be no court Saturday. GIVES M'XEAJj A BOOST. Fort Scott Republican Says Nice Things About State Printer. y Tom McNeal is a candidate for re nomination and re-election to the of fice of state printer. He is entitled to what he is asking for and will no doubt get it. There are a great many reasons that stand out in favor of Tom Mc Neal. It might be said that he is ef ficient and capable and no- one could be found to dispute the charge. It might be said that he is honest but that is a patent fact. It might be said that he has. been a Republican who counted and his work as. an editor and as a speaker stands out to back up ucn a statement. tJut all these and many more that could be suggested may be tossed aside and another pro duced that is enough in itself to Tom McNeal's title clear to another term. This argument is the record that he has made in the responsible office dur ing the time he has been state printer. rne transition of the state printing from private to state ownership of the plant took place under Mr. McNeal's administration. There have naturally been a great many difficult problems presented but as the man in charge he has proved that he was equal to the task and as a result there ia ness, public or private, in the state of ivansas mat is better managed than the state printing plant. And it' is a money-making business for the state because it is a money savin business The saving to the state during the first two years of state ownership un der the careful management of Mr. McNeal as compared with the last two years or tne private ownership plan. amount to over 161,000. And this does not show the saving correctly because there has been a great increase in tne amount of printing that the state has found it necessary to do. Conservative estimates place the saving to the state at $34,000 per year for the last three years. Tom McNeal has not been entirely responsible for this saving because others had to do with making the change. But he has been the head of the institution and the saving could easily have been used up by a state printer who was less careful. The state printery has been run as Tom McNeal would run a business for him self. And the result has been the ex cellent record made. Kansas cannot afford to dispense with the services of such an able, hon est and efficient business manager and she knows It. Consequently the present popular state printer will succeed him self. Fort Scott Republican. Must Keep Windows Open. Washington, July 1. Orders have been given by the war department that during coast artillery service practice, all emplacement doors and 'windows of the. battery that is fired will be kept open. This Is stated to be simply a precautionary measure and intended to prevent the loosening of the door hinges and the breaking of window panes if these are closed. WHWfSn iiD MISCELiWS ADS.

City Engineer Rogers Thinks U Has It Fixed. '."'J "It would be quite a feather in ray cap if I could say that the drainage of Blddle creek has been finally settled while I was in the office of city engi neer," said John Rogers, city engineer, after the council had authorized the first work for handling the flood water from that troublesome stream.;' It is safe to say that the council feels that it will be the same sort of triumph for them when they finally; tie bowknot in the aspirations o.-tha-dlnkylittTe stream to become "a river- at -'-every spring freshet. t Plans and sDeciffr-nti fins n'APo nWlAra by the council for the Davlnar nf Locust street from Fourth to Eighth avenue ana tne repaving of East Sixth avenue from the ViadUCt to Locust streot Th. changing of the grades of Locust from Sixth avenue' to Eighth avenue and East Sixth avenue from tn Lake streets was ordered by resolu tion. Plans, and specifications were also ordered for. the; construction of drainage facilities for Biddle creek and a resolution declaring for this Improve ment secured the approval of the coun cil. -C The ordinance flxin-r. the hrm the benefit district which will meet this cost has not yet been submitted but it will be bounded in general bv all that part of the Second ward lying 'east of Lime street and south of the Shaiiga- uuuKit frees..

The changes In the grades- of the two streets to be paved is done' in order to divert the water down'.vLocust street instead of permitting it to spread all over at the intersection -of Sixth and Locust. By paving Locust 26 feet wide with a cement curb three feet-4-wide and of extra height it is .planned to throw the excess of 'water front Biddle creek and permit -it- ia' empty into the Shunganunga at Fourth street, con structing a- species of 'raceway. This wbrh will be done this ye 'not withstanding'; the-faofc that it will be impossible to; place 'the tax on the property this year for thi improve ment. Some of itie cost- will be carried bv the city .until -next year when- the property can be taxed while the eonV tractors agree to- carry the paving ;over at an extra charge of 5 per cent This arrangement permits the work- to ;bi done this year otherwise it would have to be postponed until next -year, some thing that is desired to be avoided on account of the annual spring' floods. A board of appraisers to appraise the damages and benefits arising from the change of grades was appointed last night by Acting Mayor C. w. Horn The appraisers who were in turn con firmed by the council consisted of R. A. Magaw, J. C. Bratton and R. A. Richards. Other boards will have to be appoint ed to appraise the property- liable for paving, also the property within the benefit district. Less one-half of the sidewalks' will be constructed this year as compared to last when about 72 blocks were au thorized by the council. --The -big re duction is due to the' -safeguards thrown about the circulation of side walk petitions by the city. Previously any old form of a. petition went. But this year a regular form of a petition drawn up under the supervision of the city-had to be submitted and all of the property owners liable for the im provement had to be consulted before it could be filed. Before this the enter prising contractors would get busy with petitions which they would cir culate with considerable Industry re sulting in- wholesale applications for sidewalks, many of which however did not have the entire consent of property owners. "Some of them, never knew until they commenced grading that a Mddr walk was going -to be put :-.down. in front of their property," said Council man Jordan. The 25th was the last day on which sidewalk petitions could be filed and acted on this year and. in accordance with this ruling- the city Clerk was in structed to advertise for bids for side walk construction. The bids will prob ably be ordered filed by 5 o'clock of July 6. The following petitions for sidewalk were the last-to receive, favorable ac tion: South side of Eleventh street from Fillmore to 'Clay streets; east side of Ash street front. State to Chase streets. A petition for a sidewalk on Stevena street from The Drive to t ai'.mi. was n1f ri rt file be cause it did not have a sufficient num ber of signatures. UXtON BRICKLATERS MAY QUIT.

At 62 1 cents per hour the union bricklayers make J 5. a day. -While un der the new scale asked- for, they would be earning close to. $6, o.60 to be exact.
