THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 2,1908. RAILR0AD HEWS. Unusual Actiyity lu Construc tion In Washington. Jiorthwestern Lines Are Push ing Work in That State. SEATTLE THE CE5TEK Magnates Are in Keen RiTalry in This Section. Other Items of Interest in Bail way Circles. More miles of railway are now' out lined or under construction In Wash ington than In any other state in:tbe Vnlon. The total exceeds 2,500 miles for the one state alone. Oregon, Idaho, Montana and all the far western com monwealths are boasting of, their gains In trackage, while 4,000 miles of steel re to be laid in western Canada. Be cause of this activity the Northwest to a lesser degree than any other part of the country has felt the effect of disturbances in money centers. Most of the big undertakings were financed early in 1907. so the work was well under way when last winter's panic came. Seattle is the objective point whither most of the rail lines are hastening. From Chamberlain, S. D., the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul is hurrying across Montana. Idaho and Washing ton, more than 1.000 miles, to reach Puget Sound, and likewise the Harrrl man lines are building north from Portland to terminals in Seattle, the acquisition of which cost J15.000.000. In retaliation for the Great North ern's invasion of Canadian -soil; the Canadian Pacific is preparing to build a line across Washington from Spo kane to Puget Sound, thence northward to its present terminus at' Vancouver. The North Coast railway. -the enigma of the western railroad situation, is another line, with branches -and trunk amounting to 644 miles, building from 6pokane to Seattle. So secretive have been the construction officials of the north coast that the public does not know whether this Is the Canadian Pacific in disguise or the Chicago Northwestern, which already extends tar toward the Northwest, and which for the last. two or three years has shown signs of following the Milwau kee's lead. Other new lines of lesser prominence are projected or under way, notably the North Yakima and Valley, partly built from North Yakima in the central part of the state, to Tacoma. This is another unknown quantity. "But the Northern Pacific and Great Northern have not been passive. Together they are building the Spokane,' Portland Seattle, both the larger lines being un der the direction of Mr. Hill. This Jointly owned line, more than half com pleted down the north bank of the Col umbia river, provides a water level outlet from the great inland empire. Grain for tidewater will be brought down this new artery, and eventually much traffic of the two main lines will b '"routed that 'way. The timber.: of southwestern Washington will be haul ed southward by easy grades. The con struction of this line requires some of the most remarkable feats of modern railway engineering, and In parts is the most expensive on the American continent, so engineers affirm. The to tal length is 377 miles. In what is known as the boundary district, on each side of the interna tional boundary line. Mr. Hill has been busy. Eventually he will have still another line across the Rockies, from Winnipeg westward, and with exten rive terminals in Vancouver, B. C. This district had for years been looked upon by the Canadian Pacific as its own particular territory, and the action of the Great Northern magnate in delib erately invading it aroused the Cana dian-powers so that they immediately began the financing -of American ex tensions tha mean the expenditure of many-millions. For years Mr. Hill with two big lines has been the dominating figure In transportation in all the states that border western Canada. He has had mastery supreme, and while his rule was sometimes harsh, the name of a grest industrial builder as well as that of a transportation king will be his for all time. He developed the country as he built, for he knew his railway could not be supported without traffic for every mile. Dozens of branch feeder lines to the railway that bears his per sonal stamp, the Great Northern, at tests this fact. But this Immense district Is no long er to be the sole property of James J. Hill, for the Milwaukee, Harrlman, the Canadian and other Interests are fight ing for share and share. Washington, as the most rapidly de veloping of the northwest states, now has 1,125,000 people. Her wheat yield is worth $40,000,000 a year, and her timber $85,000,000. Her fish mean $15,000,000 an nually, her coal $1,000,000, and her Alaska commerce $21,000,000. Seattle, with 275.000 people, has a port com merce of $140,000,000. Puget Sound, nearer the far Orient by several hundred miles than the California ports, boasts a larger for eign trade than the Golden Gate. Alaska, with its area as big as the four largest states, must buy and trade and travel through Puget Sound. But to the railways the most attractive prize for Immediate profit Is the timber of the western slope. After the merchant able trees of every other port of the Vnited States fall, forests will stand on the North Pacific coast. Fast as Is the western timber dimlnishnig, scores of years must pass before it is gone. Mr Hill has remarked that an acre of tim ber at the first cutting produces mor freight than an acre of wheat cult! vated for forty years. President A. J. Earling of the Chi cago, Milwaukee St. Paul, has said that If he can haul over his new road to the coast, four train loads of lumber nay. tne entire operating expenses of the line will be paid. Under norma' conditions the lumbermen assert that iney more than pay for the operation oi tne .Northern Pacific, which now carries two-thirds of the eastern ship- This annilA.! lumhpr v-tM rf Wash. ington. Including the shingles that ajrs cut from the cedar trees, statisticians have estimated, would fill a train 1,035 miles In length enough to reach half me way from New York to Chicago, with a good many miles to spare. The :Jmber industry of Washington has jw.uwj men directly dependent upon It ii represents 624 per cent of the bus! ness.of the state.. it is this bonanza that has led the railroads to scramble for the Puget oouna region. The wonder is that James J. Hill has not been forced to divide the business with other roads Derore. KAIY TO KXTEXP. Will Enter Little Rock by Way of Hot Springs. -iNorman, OKia., Sept. 2. It is an nounced that the Missouri, Kansas Texas Railway companv.wlll extend Its Wilburton branch from that point to Lottie tock. Ark., by way of Hot Springs. The survey is complete and the contractor has announced that trains will be running into Little Rock within a year. Plans for an extension of the line to Memphis and Vicksburar are said to nave Deen considered feasible by tne company. It is stated unofficially that McAlesler is to "be made a division point of the present line. An interesting party has recently visited Lawton and towns between there and Ardmore, and submitted propositions for right of ways and bonuses in consideration of the exten sion of the Denison Denver protect, Tentative contracts have been made at Duncan and Loco and the party is awaiting the decision of the Lawton chamber of commerce. W. S. Baldwin of -St.. Louis is a. special representative of the railroad company. A surveying crew of the Oklahoma New Mexico, a new organization headed by W. L. McLaughlin of the MOTtnwestern. the Burlington and oth er trunk lines, is camped nearGuyman. Mr. McLaughlin states that the road will be built from the- coal fields of Oklahoma to those of New Mexico, and that It will pass through Oklahoma City,, Enid. Guyman and Boise City, In Oklahoma. A site has been surveyed for more extended shops for the Santa Fe at Shawnee, the terminal point of the Santa Fe, and the Gulf. Colorado Santa Fe. It is said that the yards will be enlarged, and that large shops and n large round house will be installed. Lawton claims to have a proposition from the Frisco for the establishment of a division headquarters, together with a round house and shops at that point. STVBBS A PROMOTER. Sqnare Deal Politician Would Become Railway Magnate-. Guthrie, Okla.. Sept.. 2. The report that the Cherryvale. Oklahoma Texas railroad, chartered a number of years ago by W. R. Stubbs. the Repub lican nominee for governor of Kansas, and State Senator S. M.' Porter, of Caney. Kan has been financed in Lon don, making its early construction cer tain, was -confirmed by Senator- Porter while visiting in Coffeyvllle. The first $500,000. he says, will be here this fall with which to commence the work. The other, will follow as the road Is built. The route has been changed completely, according to Senator Por ter, and instead of running from Cher ryvale southwest to Pawhuska and to Perry in Noble county, it is more lia ble to turn southward from Pawhuska. the capital of the Osage nation, and come to Guthrie, thence to Oklahoma City. It will run north of the ."Katy" on the way to Guthrie. The original Intention, too. was to build through Kingfisher and Geary Instead of Okla homa City. The total will be 215 miles. The Denison Northern building project, northeast from Denison, Tex., through the Chickasaw nation In Oklahoma. Is again being revived, this time by W. S. Baldwin of St. Louis, special representative of the company. An attempt Is being made to Interest the towns along the proposed line, and tentative contracts were made during the past week with Duncan. Loco and other towns In southern Oklahoma. A proposition was also made to the Law ton chamber of commerce. Right of way and cash bonus are being asked. The proposed Quanah Southwest ern railroad, giving Oklahoma a direct extension and outlet southwest toward El Paso, is of special Interest In this state. The survey was completed cur ing the week to the Pease river, and the committees named to secure right of way report but little trouble met with. The canyons this sjde of Pease river are causing the promoters of the road much worry, but a suitable route is believed to have been selected. TRAFFIC IS IMPROVING. iTlDl.c.wuniESO1 One package, 10 cents, makes pint of wholesome Fruit Jelly, flavors from trail" f ruita. one All South and West Contributing to Re turn of Prosperity. Railroad traffic is Improving, as a result of the movement of the crops In the south and west and also on ac count of the imise or still greater oroduction. In the next few months In agricultural territories. The crop ton nage is on the ascendant, and it means better business for the carriers. Improved business conditions also ae helping the railroads. The decid edly favorable Indications and pros pects from farms in the south and west are sltmulating trade, and at present considerable commercial traf fic Is moving. The freight tonnage Is now greater than at any time since last October. It is not yet as large as It should be, but the general expectation Is that within a few weeks it will be practically normal. The excellent crop and trade Indica tions In this part of the country are a pronounced relief to the railroads. For nearly, a year the expenses of the roads have been enormous, with extra ordinarily light earnings, and many very large systems have had a hard time, even with reduced forces, meet ing their financial obligations. The traffic probabilities have re stored confidence among railroad offi cials, and have brought satisfaction' to employes, who have been recalled to work. The effect of the heavier traf fic, which signifies increased earnings, will be beneficial In many ways. Only Four In Roosevelt Party. Oyster Bay; N. Y., Sept. 2. Denying the truth of a report that the Rev. W. S. Ralnesford, formerly rector of the St. George's Protestant Episcopal church in New York city,- who is now in Africa will Join President Roose velt, when he goes on his hunt, the president's secretary says that the president has arranged to take no one along with him on his hunting expedition except his son, Kermit, and tro naturalists.. i G8888SSS8$SS88S8SSS$ 8 P 8 cv O Q s 3 3 3 3 3 S Q 3 8 8 s Q 3 8 S S s 3 s 8 8 8 8 8

Will Take Charge of Y. M. C. A. Physical Work at Once. The gymnasium work of the Cen tral Y. M. C. A. will commence September 21. As In past years this department of the association work will receive much attention during the winter and this season more labor will be extended to improve the physical condition of the association members. The physical work of the associa tion this season will bo in charge of Willard B. Dye, the new physical director who arrived in Topeka dur ing the early part of the week to take up hia new duties. Mr. Dye is a very energetic and affable man and should have great success In his new -work.:- Although a comparatively young man, he has had wide exper ience in the work of physical culture. Previously to his coming to Topeka he was employed for three years in the association at Marion, Ind., and did excellent work at that place. In fact it was his fine record In the Hoosler town that secured his position in Topeka. Before going to Marion Mr. Dye spent a year at Marshalltown and another year in Chicago. Mr. Dye is eminently qualified for his work. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and special tied in physical training work at the Chicago Y. M. C. A. training school. In Minnesota Mr. Dye was a prom inent athlete. The new director will carry out the physical culture plans of the asso ciation on the well established systems which have been employed at the lo cal association in the past. The same arrangements In conducting the gym nasium classes will be employed. But thre will be many new features con nected with the work, which in the cm aa aa "The Top 0 The Morning' 5 is reached on a 0 Shredded Wheat O with hot milk or fruit and a cup cocoa.

Later in the season basket ball teams will be organized and will compete for a trophy. Other forms of athletic work will also be carried on in this way and competition in the various branches of athletic will be thus in creased. Before the opening of the gym nasium classes Mr. Dye has an innova tion which he will introduce. This is an aquatic game known as water baseball whiph is to be played in the swimming pool. The game is said to be as exciting as the national game of baseball. "I am well pleased with my new field of labor thus far," said Mr. Dye this morning, "and I am very en thusiastic for the work of the coming season. I find here the best equipped association for gymnasium work that 1 have ever seen, and in fact the To peka association is far ahead of asso ciations in many larger cities. I like the spirit I have found here aa every one seems cordial and friendly and it is always a pleasure to work among this class of men. Everything seems to point to a prosperous year's work." Mr. Dye has announced that he will be in the physical office of the asso ciation from 9 to 10:30 a. m., and from 7 to 8 p. m., and during these hours he will be pleased to meet all old and new members of the associa tion who desire to take work in any of the physical classes.

But Roosevelt Slakes It Known That He la for Hughes. New York. Sept. 2. National Com mitteeman Ward, who conferred yes terday with President Roosevelt, said today that the president in expressing his opinion to Silas McBee, editor of the Churchman, that Mr. Hughes should be renominated, did not in any way seek to convey the Impression that he was giving orders to the state leaders. Mr. Ward said: "I went to Oyster Bay yesterday to talk with the president about matters connected with the national campaign and quite naturally the situation in this state, came up. The president ex pressed his opinion, which I believe is generally .known- and he .talked-with. Mr. McBee over in one corner of the room. "I have no doubt that he told Mr. McBee that he could make public his opinion on the question of the renom lnation of Mr. Hughes, which as I un derstand he gave as a private citizen. I do not think the president seeks to convey any Impression that he is giv ing any orders to renominate Mr. Hughes. "Several candidates from what I hear from others will be presented on the floor for governor. The state com mittee will take no action on the gu bernatorial question previous to the convention." Mr. Ward expressed himself as greatly pleased with the result of the election in Vermont, saying that the national committee had not expected the plurality would exceed 25,000. Chairman Woodruff of the state Re publican committee, declined today to comment upon President Roosevelt's Hughes announcement. Mr. Woodruff said: "I have nothing to add to or take from the statement, which I made last Friday and shall make no comment upon the gubernatorial situation until the time announced in my statement has arrived, namely the convening of the convention." Postmaster General George "Von L.. Myer called at Republican headquar ters today and said that he came to this city to confer with A. B. Hep burn, who is chairman or the currency question of the American Bankers as sociation on the question of the gov ernment guarantee of bank deposits. NEW JlltV IS DRAWN.

Tincher, whom she had chareed with being the father of a child outside of the family. Tincher was not present to deny the charge, as he is now hiding out. Mary Charles, colored, was granted a divorce from George Charles, former deputy sheriff. The Charles's agreed to quit, ana tne complaint was incom patibility." Jennie Gabler got a divorce from Hetman Gabler, and also got a share of the property Ella vv ulis was am putated from Fred Willis and Louie Odell escaped the bonds which united -3 br to A ana Odell. HIS NAME IS HUDSPETH. Eastern Campaign Manager for Cryan Is Selected. New York. Sept. 2. Robert, F. Hudspeth, chairman of the Xew Jer sey state Democratic committee,, an nounced today that he has been ap pointed and has accepted the position of vice chairman of the national Democratic committee and that he will be eastern campaign manager for W. J. Bryan. National Chairman Mack has prac tically selected the full subcommittee which will manage the campaign of the Democrats on the Atlantic sea board. This committee, which will be known as the eastern campaign com mittee and the appointment of its chairman will be announced tonight. This committee will be composed of about 15 members, made up of na tional committeemen in the eastern states and other prominent Democrats. The vice chairman, Robert F. Huds peth, will make his headquarters dur ing the campaign in Chicago. Sen ator Culberson, chairman of the ad visory committee, will make his head quarters here. Chairman Mack and members of the national committee, expressed himself as pleased with the result of the election in Vermont yesterday. Mr. Mack said yesterday: "When you consider that the Democratic national committee made no campaign In Vermont, sent no money there and sent no national speakers, the result is most gratify ing to the Democrats. The Re publican national committee sent na tional speakers of prominence there and I understood it had plenty of money to make an effective campaign. We do not intend to make a special campaign In Maine, nor in any state which is surely Republican, but will devote all our resources to the so called doubtful states." Colonel J. Hamilton Lewis of Chi cago, visited headquarters today, en route to Maine, where he will make two or three addresses. FIVE TRAINS WRECKED. Canadian Pacific Sustains Ixss of Hundreds of Thousands.

In district court this afternoon Coun ty Attorney Schenck will move the dis missal of several appea' from justice courts and the court of Topeka. But he will rot tak snap judgment on the defendants, and notif.' tot-m so that they may be present to give other bet os. The reason for this move is thai SchencK thinks the bonis in these cases are worthless, a few of them be ing improperly drawn, or filled Into blanks prepared for other purposes. Others, appeals framl.be court of To peka, are approved by o Noil, the clerk. instead of by- the ju'i&s. These are worthless, says Schenck. 'x am not rtoinsr i.vs li. make ai.y trouble for the defendants," he said today, "but because T want bonds which will hold should the bona be forfeited." ENGINE BLEW UP.

NIGHT NURSE Kept in Perfect Trim by Right Food. Nursing the sick is often very bur densome to the nurse. Night nursing is liable to be even more exhausting from the fact that the demands of the system for sleep are more urgent during the night hours. A Va. lady, called on to act as night nurse in the family, found the greatest support from the use of Grape-Nuts food. She says: "Our acquaintance with Grape-Nuts began eight years ago. We bought the first package sold In this place, and al though we began as skeptics we be came converts to Its striking food value. "T used Grape-Nuts first, to sustain me when doing night nursing for a member of the ramiiy. i ate a tea spoonful at a time and by slowly chew ing it I was able to keep awake and felt no fatigue. "Soon I grew to like Grape-Nuts very much and after our patient recovered I was surprised to find that I was not at all "worn out" on account of bro ken rest. My nerves were strong and steady and my digestion fine. This was more surprising because I had al ways suffered with weak nerves and indigestion, say iKniwj wm bo bi ifftorv that other members of the family took up Grape-Nuts with like results."

Vernon Spencer, the 10-year-old boy who seems to have a mania for horse stealing was sent to the reform school today. This little boy has caused more trouble in his line than any full-grown larcenist who has infested the city for a long time. On numerous occasions he has stolen horses and driven them for hours while the officers were searching for him. About a week ago he made his final touch. His mother lay down her pocketbook for a few minutes while putting on her hat to go up town. The purse contained $10. When she returned, both little Vernon and the purse were absent, and the boy was next heard of in Wichita, where he had gone to spend the money. When the boy started for the school today, he carried a Bible, neatly wrap ped in a newspaper. He says that he is going to be good now, and break himself of the larceny habit. FAST MOTOR CAR RUN.

Cheap Baking Powder Trust Baking Powder Power CALUMET BAKING POWDER THAW IS NOT WANTED. Piihoii HiKnei-tnr Says His Presence in Jail Is Demoralizins. Albany, N. T., Sept. 2. A protest Is made in a report submitted to the state commission of prisons by Secretary Geo. McLaughlin against the further confinement in the Duchess county prison at Foughkeepsie of H. K. Thaw, acquitted of the charge of murder on the ground of insanity. Mr. McLaugh lin's report is on an inspection he made on August 24 last. The report says among other things that Thaw's pres ence in the jail demoralizes the dis cipline of the institution. The report says in part: "Mr. Thaw has been held in this jail for several months pending the out come of litigation which looks now as though it might be interminable. His presence in this jail is embarrassing to the sheriff and objectionable on many accounts. The sheriff has no room for him except in the padded cell. Even this he needs for temporary uses and it would be an entirely unfit place to confine a man for months. Having been adjudged insane with homicidal tendencies the sheriff would not be justified in confining him with other prisoners. He can not keep him in the quarters intended for boys. To do this would compel him to keep the boys with the adult prisoners which the law forbids. He can not keep him in the hospital room for two reasons first. It is not sufficiently secure; secondly, it can not be spared for the permanent occupancy of Mr. Thaw. The result is that the sheriff has to give him an en tire corridor with the 13 cells adjacent in the principal jail for men. He needs this room for his other prisoners. Ha consumed a large amount of the time of the jailer in escorting him to Ffsh kill Landing, White Plains and other places to attend hearings before the court and before referees, time the Jailer needs for his other duties. "There is a good deal of public talk that some of these hearings are on fake suits instituted by his friends to give him these outings. The jail is not the proper place for confinement of a lunatic. His presence here demoralizes the discipline of the institution. He sleeps in the corridor and not in a cell. He has all the fixtures and parapher nalia of a business office. He orders his fJod from the hotel, which has to be brought to him three times a day. Silly people send him bouquets of flow ers. He is allowed the use of the whole corridor constituting one-quarter of the entire jail for men while the other prisoners are crowded two in a cell frequently. "All these things are under the ob servation of the other prisoners and create dissatisfaction, a belief that men with money constitute a separate class even In prison. "These things produce an ugly feel ing of discontent and rebellion among the other prisoners. "The county law requires the board of supervisors to furnish Jails having separate places for different classes ot prisoners. This law does not require a Jail to have facilities for the care of insane people and this commission has no power to require the local authori ties to furnish such facilities. There are in this same county two state in stitutions for the care of the insane. It would seem that a person who had been adjudged Insane but who is now conducting proceedings for his dis charge on the ground of recovery should be detained in an Institution where he would be under the observa tion of experts who could note his change as It occurred. "Certainly neither the sheriff nor his jailer has any such expert training or knowledge as would qualify them for the proper care of the insane and this commission should protest against the further continuance of Mr. Thaw in this Jail." Separate Schools Unconstitutional. Guthrie, Okla.. Sept. 2. Judge A. H. Huston In the district court here has declared unconstitutional the Oklahoma separate school law pro viding separate school boards and separate schools for negroes and whites in the new state. Death of J. W. Martin. Chanute, Kan.. Sept .2. John W. Martin, Jr., a widely known lumber man, died at his home in this city Tuesday after a two months illness.

Daughter of "Texas" Johnson of Oklahoma. HAS THICK MARRIED. Husband Was Killed in With Officers. Fight Couple Will Probably Live Bride's Home. at Bartlesville, Okl Sept. 2. Of unusual interest throughout the southwest was the weding here last night of Ernmett Dalton and Mrs. Julia Lewis. Da Hon was portioned from the Kan sas penitentiary, where he was serving a life sentence for participating in the raid on the Coffeyville banks sixteei years ago last November. His bride is the widow of Ernest Lewis, who died in a bloody fight with United States Marshals Keeler and Williams in this city last November. Emniett Dalton. Who Wed the Swe Lewis killed Williams during the bat- i tie, in which more than twenty shots were fired in a small room. Lewis had served a term in the Col orado penitentiary for train robbery, and had worried the authorities of Kansas and Oklahoma by conducting a modern "Monte Carlo", on a narrow strip of ground which he declared was owned by neither state. It was over twenty years ago when Emmett Dalton first met his bride while he was work ing with his brothers, "Bob" and "Grat," then deputy United States marshals for Indian territory. Along the Kansas line lived a man named "Texas" Johnson, famed for a great entertainer. The Dalton boys often stopped with Mr. Johnson and Emmett, the younger, became very friendly with Miss Julia Johnson, a couple of months his junior. He took advantage of every oppor tunity to visit the Johnson home" after having once visited it. He and Miss Johnson soon became the best of friends, riding together, practicing marksmanship and attending danceo for miles around. Many a time Em mett Dalton rode a day and a night that he might get to dance with the pretty Johnson girl. Then came the famous Coffeyville raid, In which Emmett was captured because he went back to assist his mortally wounded brother. He was separated from his girl sweetheart, yet all the time he was in the penitentiary he kept in communication with Julia Johnson. She married twice because he was in prison supposedly for life. Among those who worked for his par don, however, none was more diligent and more earnest than his girl friend. She talked to those who opposed grant ing it and her efforts had much to do with the cessation of the opposition. She wrote to him frequently and spent a great deal of her time working to gain him a pardon. She visited those who opposed the pardon and persuaded them to give Emmett another chance. She did more than all others to wear out the opposition to her former sweet heart's riardon. Dalton is in business in Tulsa, but ex pects to make his home in the future in Bartlesville, where his bride has a large amount of property. The wedding was a quiet one, before a justice of the peace. Dalton and his bride refused to accede to the request of some of their friends that it be in the nature of a public affair. The bridal couple have refused to accept a lucrative offer to go on the stage, made by a Chicago showman who came here. "We have known each other for a long time." the blushing groom said, when cornered. "I have reached the age when it is time for me to marry. Any man who. from past unpleasant experiences must be more or less in the public eye. has a great deal to con tend with and when I found my boy hood sweetheart in Bartlesville and as she was willing I thought it well to set tle down." A VICTIM OF FOOTLIGHTS. John J. Hayes Winner of the Mara thon Race Takes to the Stajto. New York. Sept. 2. John J. Hayes, winner of the Marathon race at the London Olympic games, is the latest victim of the lure of the footlights, according to the announcement made by a local vaudeville agency. Hayes has signed a contract, it is said, to appear in vaudeville theaters through out tbe country, for a period of thirty weeks, beginning next Monday night. He" will tell the story of the Mara- thon race and will give an exhibition Jflk of his style of Tunning, using a tread mill for the purpose. He will carry with him for advertising purposes the large bronze trophy which was his prize. THREE BATTLERS. Contests Involving Championships Slated for California Next Week. San Francisco, Sept. 2. Three pugilistic contests each involving the championship of its respective class, will be decided in California next week. One of them is an international match betwee.n Owen Moran, the Eng lish champion, and Abe Attell, the holder of the featherweight title in America. The other two are between Stanley Ketchell and Billy Papke for the middleweight championship, and Battling Nelson and Joe Gans for the lightweight title. In every case the fights are what might be termed as return matches, as all have met their respective opponents in previous bat tits. Ketchell and Papke and Moran and Attell will fight on September 7, the former two at Los Angeles, and the latter at San Francisco, both contests taking place in the afternoon. Two days later September 9, Joe Gans and Battling Nelson will meet for the third time, this fight also taking place in the afternoon. Not since the fa mous boxing carnival at New Orleans in 1890. when Jim Corbett won the championship from John L. Sullivan, have so manv important ring engage ments been scheduled to come off ethcart of His Youth Last Night. within three days. The boxers -are all declared to be fit at this time and tickets have al ready been placed on sale in this city and Los Angeles for the two fights occurring or September 7, Labor day. Joe Gans, who lost the lightweight championship to Nelson on July 4, is now declared to be in much better physical condition than when he was doing his preparatory work for the last previous engagement.

New York, Sept. 2. Hypnotism and evidence secured by its means from Mrs. Charlotte Hitchcock, who is ac cused of shooting her husband on No vember 20, last, figures largely In the testimony before the lunacy commis sion. After a dispute among the mem bers of the commission, Doctors Mc Donald, Hamilton and Robertson and Albert J. Talley, counsel for Mrs. Hitchcock, Judge Foster decided that toe woman's mental condition at the present time be considered as well as ner state at the time of the shootine- Dr. I. T. Van Glee son testified that ne naa Hypnotized Hitchcock in a cell at the Tombs and obtained her nrst and and only story of the crime. He told, with the use of a small dose of formaldehyde he had reduced her to a state of sub-consciousness and then, while her head was tilted slight ly back and rested on a pillow, he had stood behind her while a stenographer took down her statements. "I went out to get a steak and cook it." Mrs. Hitchcock said, according to Dr. Van Gleason's testimony. 'Bob came in with some apples and arter eating the steak read a ma gazine. Then he said: 'I'm in a hole. There's only one way out. We must cross the river Jordan." He read to me out of the testament and then said: I have ruined our lives." He made me write on a piece of paper that I was to blame. He got a revolver and shot me three times. I ran into th kitchen. My waist was on fire. He helped me put out the fire. When I crawled back and tried to get the gun but it went off. Bob shot at me again. Then he stood up on the bed and shot himself three times. A dark man and a policeman came in and I told them I had shot Bob. I "did it because he had told me to take the blame." Dr. Van Gleason said he thought Mrs. Hitchcock was insane at the time of the shooting but was sane now. $5.00 SAVED WITH 25c Saving That fan Be Made in Any Topeka Home.

Senator Fred Qulncy Explains Bank Guaranty Flank. Not Like a Private Insurance Scheme. STATE TO SUPERVISE. Would Be Under Direction of Bank Coniniis"oner. Thinks Compulsory Law Would Not Be Legal. Senator Fred H. Quincy of Salina, author of the deposit guaranty plank in the Republican platform, has pre pared for the State Journal a state ment in which he sets forth the differ ence between the "deposit insurance" scheme, and the "deposit guaranty" proposition. Senator Quincy explains that the de posit guaranty plank of the Repub lican platform requires the state bank commissioner's department to super vise and control the funds contributed by the banks for mutual protection, while a "deposit insurance" company is merely a private institution like any insurance company, run for private gain. The statement follows: "The attempt that is being made in some quarters to interpret the bank guarantee plank in the Republican state platform to. mean a voluntary agreement among individual bankers to furnish a mutual guaranty such as they see fit to their depositors, is wholly erroneous. "The Republican plank pledges the legislature to pass an enabling act that will permit the state banks of Kansas to enter into a voluntary and binding obligation to the banking de partment, to contribute to a fund to mutually guarantee the depositors of the participating banks against loss through the failure of any of such banks so participating, the whole mat ter to be under the supervision of the state bank commissioner's department the state bank commissioner being the only state officer having full power and authority to administer and enforce the state banking laws. The act to be effective would necessarily be broad enough to take in every state bank, and by permission of the federal gov ernment or otherwise, every national bank in the state that was solvent and conducting its business strictly within the laws under which it was incorpor ated. The platform also declares for a federal law enabling the national banks of Kansas to participate in the state guarantee fund. "Some will ask: 'Why not make the law compulsory upon the banker?' To those I would answer, because it is ex tremely doubtful whether such an act would be constitutional either in this state or the United States, as applied to banks already doing business under a charter from the respective govern ments. No one would contend that an act of the legislature or congress com pelling banks to insure their buildings, their employes, or their funds against fire, defalcation or burglary would be constitutional. On the other hand, authorized by an act of the legislature to contribute to a fund for the protec tion of despositors by the voluntary act of its depositors and stockholders, such enabling act being equitable as between the banks, it would in fact be compusory on the banks which desire the confidence and business of their customers to avail themselves of the privilege. In so doing we would not have the whole matter hangin- on the decision of a court after it had b-Vn put in operation, as is the case in Oklahoma now, their law being com pulsory and the question of the con stitutionality of the same is before the courts, and if Oklahoma's act should be upheld by their courts it does not follow that such would be the case with a compusory act in Kansas or the United States, as even constitu tions and courts differ. "The whole question of guaranteed deposits is one that has been raised, ad vanced and advocated more by bank ers than by depositors and any at tempt to separate the interests of the banker and the depositor is a cheap effort of the political demagogue. While the benefits to be derived are more directly in the interests of the depositors, the banker who favors ana advocates the plan believes that equal benefits will accrue to him. The only Interest the depositor has In the mat ter is to know that his deposit is ulaced beyond the possibility of loss and beyond this he can afford to leavu the details to the legislature and the bankers who pay the freight. "The principal argument of those op posed to the plan is that it would have a tendency to encourage reckless bank ing, by offering inducements to deposi tors, and for men of doubtful charac ter to enter the banking field.. To my mind it would work in the opposite di rection by limiting the rates of inter est that could be paid by the guaran teed be2ks. and by strict enforcement of the banking laws it would drive the reckless banker (if such there be in Kansas), out of the business, and this contention Is clearly shown by the first case of failure under the Oklahoma law. The bank of Colgate was closed and its business liquidated, not because It was insolvent but because its officers were violating the banking law of the state by loaning to its officers con trary to law. No one suffered loss in the transaction except the stockholders and the officers of the bank, and with out the guarantee law and the influ ence of the conservative bankers par ticipating therein, to stimulate the bank commissioner to act. the reck lessness of the Colgate bank officers would undoubtedly have continued un til there would have been a serious fail ure, and loss to the depositors and ev ery business man in that community. "I believe a similar law in Kansas would compel every banker to rigidly live up to the banking laws, in which case there would be few, if any, fail ures, or if he persisted in violating the banking laws, require him to liquidate and retire from the business at no loss to the business interests of the com munity. If I did' not feel sure this would be the result I would not favor the measure. "Very respectfully. "FRED H. QUINCY." A Boy Drowned at Klnulale. Cottonwood Falls. Kan., Sept. 2.
