THE REPORT IS DENIED He Is Just About Ready to Make a Noise. Had Good Reasons for Not Be ginning; Sooner. Chicago, Sept. 21. Stories to the ef fect that there has been a change or is to be a change In the management of the Republican national campaign appear to be without the slightest foundation. The Associated Press has caused inquiries to be made in every place that could be expected to supply reliable information on the subject and it is declared that the campaign is be ing conducted along the lines originally planned, and that the programme will continue without alteration. Apparent ly the story that there is to be a change in the management of the cam paign and that Chairman Hitchcock is to be subordinated in authority al though remaining nominally at tha head of the committee, originated from the announcement that Senator Crane will visit the western headquarters in this city and the fact that he had been in conference with Mr. Taft in Cincin nati. The truth of the case Is that Senator Crane arrived in Chicago because he was requested by Mr. Hitchcock to meet him here at this time. The real purpose of the senator's visit is the financial end of the campaign work. Senator Crane is a member of the ad visory committee, which was appoint ed by Chairman Hitchcock to consider ways and means. Funds for campaign purposes have been coming in slowly from the west and middle west region, and Senator Crane was asked to visit Chicago and confer with Fred Upham. the assistant treasurer of the national committee. At the same time Mr. Hitchcock desired to meet him in con ference as he has met him several times in the past, to consider phases of the campaign work. Chairman Hitchcock arrived in Chi cago at 8:30 o'clock today and went to the Auditorium Annex, where he met a number of men identified with the management of the western campaign. Ever since the campaign opened Mr. Hitchcock has been confronted with romplaints that there has not been suf ficient activity. These criticisms hav been difficult to meet for the reason, he says he could not take the public Into his' confidence concerning all mat ters being handled at national head quarters. It has been Mr. Hitchcock's belief that nothing could be accom plished by pouring Into a state am munition directed at the national cam paign, when there is conflict going on In the state over some local issue that entirelv overshadowed the national is sues. Practically all of Mr. Hitchcock's advisers agreed that it would be the proper policy to settle these state quar rels before opening the national cam paign and It so happened that it was in the states regarded as doubtful that these conflicts were being carried on. There will be plenty of noise in the campaign within another week to suit everybody, Mr. Hitchcock said today. He refuses to be ruffled by the criti cisms of his conduct of the campaign. He Suits Taft. Cincinnati. Sept. 21. The adjustment of the Foraker situation, the departure of Senator Crane last night for Chi cago, and the absence of any import ant political callers today leaves Can didate Taft an opportunity which he declared he should make the most of, to work further on his speeches for the forthcoming trip. He will spend little if any time at his office today. It was reiterated here today that the calling of the executive and the ad visory committees of the Republican national committee into greater activi ty meant simply that these commit tees would arise to the greater amount of work to be done and for which they were called into existence. Judge Taft has again emphasized what he has been free to state previous ly that he has no criticism to make of Mr. Hitchcock, but regards the work done by the national chairman as effi cient and effective. It has been stated positively here that no change is to be made either in Mr. Hitchcock's work or his status but that the increased duties of the various committees is demanded by the greater work required of the organization from this time on. CRANE MAKES STATEMENT. It Is Designed to Set at Rest Rumors Regarding Hitchcock. Chicago, Sept. 21. Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, today made a state ment which effectually disposed of the widely published story that his visit to western headquarters of the national Republican committee pre sages a reorganization and the sub ordination of Chairman Hitchcock's authority to that of other Republi can leaders. In order that there should be no misunderstanding con cerning his visit to Chicago at this time Senator Crane dictated the fol lowing: "I came here at the especial re quest of Chairman Hitchcock with whom I am. as a member of the ad visory committee associated and who wished to consult with me regarding the campaign. Mr. Taft whom I re cently met at Cincinnati, expressed himself as being thoroughly satisfied with Chairman Hitchcock's man agement of the campaign." To a representative of the Asso ciated Press Senator Crane charac terized the rumor that Mr. Taft is dis satisfied with the management of the campaign as being unworthy of notice. He said however, that in view of the various stories printed he anticipated being questioned by representatives of the press, and he had decided therefore to issue a brief formal statement. Senator Crane will return to his lvrne in Massachusetts tomorrow and CKairman Hitchcock will return to the .New York headquarters where he has a number of important engager ments for Wednesday. When Chair- MONDAY EVENING. cago he proceeded at once to his rooms at the auditorium annex, where he was met by Senator Crane. They had a brief conference there and then went to headquarters in the Harvester building and Senator Crane made the announcement quoted. It was stated in addition that Judge Nagel, of the executive committee would continue in charge of the western headquarters in the absence of Chairman Hitchcock Just as he has in the past. In relation to the general criticism that the Republican managers have been slow in getting the campaign started Chairman Hitchcock said that the plans being followed were agreed upon several weits ago, at which time ft was announced that the gen eral speaking campaign would not begin until October 1. He declared that all of the members of the execu tive committee in the west and east had agreed that this was a wise policy and that they had seen no rea son to change their minds. That there would be a period of im patience was foreseen by the Re publican managers said Mr. Hitch cock, and it created no surprise or consternation at this time. The chair man said the campaign would go on as originally planned. Elaborating upon the apparent inactivities of the .campaign, Mr. Hitchcock dealt with conditions in states which had late primaries or conventions. He called attention to the fact that Michigan has not had its convention and that there is a conference in West Virginia tonight between the opposing factions which named candidates for the governor ship to decide upon a candidate who will be acceptable to both sides. If consideration is given to these con ditions, he said, no fault will be found with the fact that the opening of the national campaign had been delayed. Colonel William G. Ransdell. of California, sergeant-at-arms of the senate, who will have charge of the Taft special train when the Re publican candidate speaks in the west, arrived here today to confer with Senator Dixon, director of the speakers' bureau. Col. Randsell ac companied Presidents Harrison and McKinley on a number or western trips, taking charge or the trains. It was announced at headquarters today that W. E. C. Brown, of Mis souri, had been appointed assistant director of the western speakers' bureau. It was decided today that Governor Hughes' Indiana speech would be made in South Bend, next Monday. TAFT WIRES HITCHCOCK. Says That the Chairman Is Secure In the Place. Cincinnati, Sept. 21 Judge Taft to dav sent the following telegram to Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican national committee at Chi' eaeo. and made it public here: "Do not be disturbed by publications with reference to your management of the campaign or statements of an in tention to supplant you in control. The presence of Senator Crane here gave rise to- Inferences which I attempted to deprecate. I have every connaence in you and in the success of your man agement and I welcome the assistance as you do of Senator Crane and of the ancillary committee, nut you are in supreme control. "W. H. TAFT." TO PURIFY CHICAGO. Hosts of Zion City to March on the Illinois Metropolis. Chicago, Sepl. 21. A visitation from the hosts of Zion City is to "purify Chicago," which was branded "rotten as hell," by the Zion leader yesterday. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, successor to John Alexander Dowie, came to town as one of the strangers into Sodom yesterday and announced that the militant host would march on Chicago the latter part of October. Voliva's proposed invasion of Chi cago will rival Dowe's famous visita tion of New York a few years ago. He plans to bring a host of 1,000 follow ers to the storming of Chicago's stronghold of vice. With banners streaming, bands playing sacred mu sic and hymns swelling from the long ranks, the "soldiers of the Lord" will march from Zion City to Chicago. By this missionary descent upon the city Voliva hopes to add several thousand members to the church of Zion. FORAKER DOWN AND OUT Eliminates Himself From Work of the Campaign. Cincinnati, O., Sept, 21. Senator J. B. Foraker has eliminated himself from participation with Mr. Taft in the political rally of the National League of Republican clubs to be held here tomorrow. His action was made known to Mr. Taft in the fol lowing letter addressed to the candi date and made public by the senator: Cincinnati, O., Sept. 21. "My Dear Judge: Having read in the news papers that some of your friends and vou are in doubt as to the propriety of my speaking with you at Music hall next Tuesday night, I have con cluded not to attend the meeting. I take this action not because I deem the answers I have made to Mr. Hearst's charges insufficient nor be cause of any lack of loyalty in your cause, but only because I do not wish to do anything that might injure the cause or embarrass you personally., Very truly yours, "J. B. FORAKER." To John Hays Hammond, president of the National League of Republican clubs, Mr. Foraker sent this letter which which he also made public: "I herewith inclose a self-explanatory letter that I have just sent to Judge Taft." Senator Foraker said on giving out the correspondence that his action was entirely voluntary, and that he had received no direct communica tion from Mr. Taft regarding the situation. Can't Stop Soldier's Pay. Washington, Sept. 21. The war de partment has declined to comply with a request that an enlisted man's pay be stopped for the purpose of paying his family alimony prescribed by the court. It is held that no responsibility such as is placed on officers under the sixty-first article of war, rests on enlisted men and there is no precedent under which the failure on the part of such persons to support his family may be made the basis of a charge. TAFT IfTKANSAS. Effort Being Made to Hare Itin erary Changed. Garden City Republicans Want to Hear Him. FIRST STOP AT DODGE. This May Be Changed by Com mittee. Parade Will Precede the Tope ka Meeting. William E. Hutchinson, of Garden City, and Justice Henry F. Mason, also of Garden City, called upon Chairman Dolley this morning at state headquar ters for the purpose of urging that the Taft special train be so scheduled that a stop can be made at Garden City on the morning of October 3. It is likely that this stop will be ar ranged, and that Taft's first speech will be at Garden City instead of at Dodge City. Judge Hutchinson came to Topeka especially to arrange for this stop over of the Taft train. He said this morning: "Taft will arrive in Garden City at 8 o'clock in the morning, under this provisional schedule which has been arranged. That is not too early for us. We could get up a big crowd even if it was an hour earlier. People out our way are very anxious to hear Taft. We could get a crowd in there from all the surrounding counties." Concerning general political conditions in his part of the state Mr. Hutchin son said: "There is no evidence in western Kansas, so far as I can see, of any political upheaval. The Democrats are doing a lot of talking, but I think it is mostly talk. I have talked with a good many different people who are well posted in political matters, and they say that the only 'converts' to' Bryan they know of have been Demo crats all the time. Of course Stubbs was not as popular in our part of the state as he was in others, but I believe that the Republicans will support him, and that Republican legislators will be elected in ample numbers to insure the usual Republican control of the legis lature, and the election of Bristow to the United States senate. There are a large number of new settlers in our part of the state and we can't tell what they will do, for no careful poll has yet been completed." The following provisional schedule has; been arranged for the Taft special train through Kansas, which leaves Denver at 11 o'clock on the night of October 2, and will travel across Kan sas over the Santa Fe the day follow ing at an average rate of 41 miles per hour, including stops: Arrive Dodge City 9 a. m., moun tain time. Leave Dodge City 10:15 a. m. cen tral time. Arrive Kinsley 11:05: stop 10 min utes. Arrive Lamed 11.50; stop 10 min utes. Arrive Great Bend 12:27; sicp 10 minutes. Arrive Sterling 1:22 p. in.; stop 10 minutes. Arrive Hutchinson 2:03; stop 13 minutes. Arrive Newton 3:05; stop 15 min utes. Arrive Florence 4:03; stop 10 min utes. Arrive Strong City 4:50; stop 5 minutes. Arrive Emporia 5:30; stop 15 min ute. Arrive Osage City 6:27; stop 10 minutes. Arrive Topeka 7:30; address at au ditorium at 8 o'clock. Arrangements are being made for a big parade in Topeka on the night of Oct. 3, just before the Taft meeting. Taft will be met at the train by the Flambeau club, several bands, a shot gun brigade, and a irarching club of Taft supporters, and escorted to the auditorium. It is possible that this schedule will be changed somewhat The Garden City people are trying hard to arrange for Taft to stop there at 8 o'clock in the morning and make a 10 minute speech. It is likely that this will be done if it can be arranged so vhat the special train can leave Denver at 10:30 the night before Instead of 11 o'clock. In that case, the entire schedule through Kansas would be moved up about 20 minute. LOOK OUT FOR CHOLERA. The Government Is Exercisins Extra ordinary Precautions. Washington, Sept. 21. With cholera increasing both in the Philippines and in Russia the government authorities here are watching the situation abroad with great interest. Extraordinary measures have been taken with a view to suppressing the outbreak in the Philippines as far as possible and to prevent the spread of the cholera out of the Russian ports from which im migrants leave for this country. Quarantine officials at United States ports have been put on their guard and consular officers at Russian ports are making careful inspection. The con sul general at St. Petersburg has been asked to advise the government promptly of the situation and the state department has cabled consuls at ports where Russians leave to detain immi grants there five days in accordance with the quarantine rules, before leav ing for this country. An officer has been selected to proceed to Libau to inspect vessels leaving that important port. Governor General Smith, in a dis patch to the insular bureau, says that up to 6 o'clock this afternoon there were 35 cases in Manila, and that cold rains today may result in more cases. England Buys American Beef. London, Sept. 21. The war office has placed with a Chicago firm another large contract for American beef and the admiralty is negotiating for a con tract for the navy. TOPEKA, KANSAS SEPTEMBER 21, 1908. QUARANTINE STOCK YARDS. Believed Ten Head of Cattle at Rosalia Infected AVith1 Texas Fever. Wichita, Sept. 21. No cattle was loaded at Rosalia, a station on the Missouri Pacific about forty miles east of Wichita, Saturday, as the stock yards there have been placed -undr quarantine. Ten head of cattle in the yards at that place are thought to have the Texas fever, and as there are 3,000 or 4,000 head in that vicinity ready for shipment no chances will be taken on allowing the disease to spread. J. B. Baker, state live stock in spector, has been sent for to investi gate the diseased stock. The yards were thoroughly disinfected and unless the disease proves J more widespread than Is thought they will be reopened today. WRIGHT'S OWN STORY. He Can Not Understand the Accident That Wrecked Ills Aeroplane. New York, Sept. 21. Orville Wright's own story of the tragic fate which be fell his aeroplane at the Ft. Myer test ing field resulting in the death of Lieu tenant Selfridge and dangerous injuries to Mr. Wright himself is told in a dis patch received in this city. According to the story he is at a loss to account for the real reason for the fatal termination of what had promised to be a record breaking flight. The immediate cause was plainly that one of the propellers struck a guy rope, he says, but he is unable even now, to understand how it could have hap pened. "I knew it was dangerous to have those propellers revolve so that they would be likely to hit anything," said he, "but we trie"d to make them hit be fore tried to force, them to hit. They would not. They held plenty of clear ance. I don't know how they hit that time how they came to get there. But they did. Somehow that propeller and the wire came together. The propeller hit the wire twice lightly, then hard. I heard it. I heard the crash. I did not look back. I did not know what was happening. Selfridge looked back I saw him. I don't know what he saw. I thought H was the transmis sion that had given way. I thought the propellers were ripping the ma chine to pieces, -p "Then we commnced to spin around. That was the unbroken propeller urg ing us onward. I. -cut off the propeller pulled the cord and we lost head way. The rudder was out of commis sion. It must have swung to one side useless as soon as the wire got loose from the tail. Wo can't stay up with out headway, so 'when the machine swung around in a circle and the rud der would not work and the engine was stopped I thought it was grinding us to pieces I could hot see we began to drop. 1 heard Selfridge say 'Oh, Oh.' I expected to r!gt the machine. Tt was falling edgewise. The only way to get headway was- id- fall we didn't fa".', far enough. It started to. right. Twen ty feet more-i-and It would have right ed. We did not have the twenty feet. That's all." i HAD LOST HIS MONEY. Alexander Starbuck Commits Suicide at Age of 83. Cincinnati, Sept. 21. Alexander Starbuck, aged 83 years, former presi dent of the Cuvier club of this city, and widely known as an advocate ot measures for the protection of game, shot himself fatally at the government building here today. Although once wealthy, he had lost his money, was in poor health and in fear of insanity. Stopping in the midst of his reading of an affectionate letter from a niece, Mrs. Richard Hoffman of Santa Mon ica. Cal., Mr. Starbuck took a new re volver from his pocket and fired into his brain the bullet that caused death. One of the notes left to friends was dated September 14, and read:. "To whom it may concern: Why old age, sickness, threatened insanity enough to make the tired soul seek the immortal dawn." MAKE NO EXCUSES. Comptroller Tells Bank Examiners to Resign Instead. Washington, Sept. 21. "I say to you emphatically that your work must be improved. Embezzlements have failed of discovery, defalcations and dishonesty have been concealed from you and in many cases you have fail ed to correctly or even approximately estimate the value of the paper and the securities held by the bank." This was the declaration made to day by Comptroller of the t Currency Lawrence O. Murray in addressing the conference of national bank examin ers representing practically all of the territory east of the Ohio. The con ference which is being held behind closed doors, is expected to continue several days and is the first under the comptroller's call of September 9, de signed to discuss the bank examiners work with a view to radical improve ment. Later Mr. Murray will hold a conference with the western examin ers, probably at Chicago. Today's discussion was along the lines of securing better methods. Mr. Murray in his speech said that some of their reports to him indicate that a few examiners do not realize the ob ligations of the office and indicate hurried work. He said examiners should call upon two or three mem bers of the board to go over the en tire discounts of the bank with the examiner; that the examiners must be ready to accept assignment anywhere in the United States and that if "you are unable to discover the true condi tion of a bank do not send excuses, simply send in your resignation and your commission for cancellation." Togo Will Receive the Fleet. Honolulu. Sept. 21. H. B. Miller, American consul general at Yokohama, arrived here today, on his way to the United States. He says that the At lantic battleship fleet wiir be received at Yokohama by-15. battleships under command of Admiral Togo. Weather Indications. Chicago, Sept. 21. Forecast for .Kan sas: Fair tonight and Tuesday.- Con tinued warm- TWO TOWNS BURN Gagen and Woodboro, Wis., De stroyed by Fire. It Started in the Woods and Ad ranced Rapidly. OVER 2,000 PEOPLE In Each Place Compelled to Flee for Life. Many of the Inhabitants Not Yet Accounted For. Rhinelander, Wis., Sept. 21. The towns of Gagen and Wnnrlhnm destroyed by forest fires yesterday. ine fire started in the woods vester- day morning and quickly reached those tOWns. Men. Women and phlMren fought valiantly to save their homes. but without avail. Gagen and Woodboro oach bad about 2,000 residents and nearly all are iiomeiess. Burned out of their homes the peo ple began fleeing from the fire which grew mdre dangerous with each min ute. Women carrying children in their -....o urea ana Doys witn packs on their backs ran toward Rhinelander, many falling prostrate in the heat, only to be helped on by the stronger refu gees. Nearly all of those burned out at Gagen reached Rhinelander last night and were cared for. But few of the Woodboro people are here and It is not known what has become of all of them. The fire is a fresh one and not a con tinuation of the fires which did' so much damage last week. When the blaze started the wind was from the west, and it was feared that Rhinelander, with its homes for 7,000 persons, was doomed also, but a change in the direction of the wind probably has saved the city. Citizens have decided to ask Gov ernor Davidson to order out the state militia to assist in fighting the flames, which because of the condition of the dry woods threatens to destroy the forest. It is feared the wind may again shift and the mayor and chief of police believe the danger to Rhine lander is not yet over, i Hundreds of men have gone out from the city to fight the flames, but reports received from those returning say they have made little progress.

Just a Trace of Rain Recorded on Sunday. A most acceptable change has occurred- in the temperatures of this section of the world and while it ia true that it is almost as hot today aa it has been for the past two weeks, the thermometers indicate that the mer cury is not quite as high.

Bryan Proposes to Offer Him as a Prize to Secure Votes. New York, Sept. 21. William J. Bryan has offered the mascot mule presented him by the Agricultural so ciety of Minnesota as a prize to the county showing the largest percentage of increase in the vote for Democratic electors over the average vote for electors'" in the last three campaigns. The offer is contained in a letter from the presidential candidate to Chairman Mack. The letter from Mr. Bryan reads as follows: "The Agricultural society of Minne sota presented me with a mule as a mascot for this campaign, and after a consultation with the newspaper repre sentatives sojourning at Lincoln he was named Major Minn A. Mascot Minn for Minnesota, 'A for Agricul tural society. The title of 'Major' was given to him in honor of a newspaper representative' who volunteered, to be the first to ride and who for a brief space of time was in close proximity to the mule. He has since been ridden and I think will be safe for riding by election day and is broken to work. "Desiring to make this mule valuable to the party I propose that he be of fered as a prize to the county showing the largest percentage of increase in the vote of electors over the average vote for electors in the last three cam paigns, on condition that the county shall turn the mule over to the pre cinct securing the largest gain, the Democrats of that precinct to vote th mule to the Democrat in the precinct who in their judgment, has con tributed most to the increase in the precinct. "If this plan is satisfactory to you please make the announcement and let the mule do his part in getting out the Democratic vote." HARD BLOW TO PARIS Business Prostrated by Burning of the Telephone Exchange. Paris, Sept. 2L Paris is practically prostrated commercially today as a re sult of the fire that last night de stroyed the central telephone building. In addition to the total interruption of the telephone service between Paris and the provinces and foreign points, the department of posts announced this afternoon that the flames had de stroyed a large number of the long distance telegraph wires which were strung under the telephone headquar ters. Consequently the telegraph ser vice to England, Belgium, Austria, th? northern part of France and the suburbs of Paris is seriously affected and it is impossible today to handle the business of the department. The department Is making herculean en deavors to arrange a temporary ser vice, especially for the stock market, the operations on which are greatly hampered by the lack of communica tion as well as for the great depart ment stores, hospitals, hotels, banks and newspaper offices, theaters and tha police and fire stations. It is trying also to re-establish the lines with for eign countries. The partial paralysis of these essen tial methods of communication is caus ing immeasurable damage to the multitudinous business activities in France itself and between France and foreign countries and the resultant financial loss will be tremendous. The 20,000 local circuits burned out un fortunately were located in the heart of the .city and their destruction has thrown confusion into the great ar teries of trade and commerce and placed a sudden demand upon ve hicular transportation which the cabs and omnibuses can not meet. RAVAGED BY CHOLERA. St. Petersburg Reports 155 Deaths in Twenty-four Honrs. St. Petersburg, Sept. 21. The cholera continues to increase rapidly in St. Petersburg. The efforts of the auth orities in stopping the sale of liquor between Saturday and Monday and the other preventive measures taken have had but little if any effect in checking the spread of the epidemic Between noon of Sunday and noon of today the municipal hospitals re ported 380 cases and 155 deaths, and the addition of the statistics from the military and suburban hospitals for this same period will swell this total to truly formidable proportions. There are 34 cases of policemen alone in the Saminoffsky military hospital. Dispatches received here from three provinces report 488 new cases and 201 deaths in 24 hours. The police here today summarily closed several restaurants that had vi olated the order against the sale of spirits. Freerks Makes a Speech. George W.. Freerks of Wichita, Democratic candidate for attorney general spoke to five hundred enthu siastic Democrats at Germania hall, 516 Kansas avenue Saturday even ing.

TWO CENTO. PLEA FOR TAFT. President Roosevelt Writes a Letter to McKinley. Urging Importance of Republi can Snccess in Norember. HIS OWN POLICIES Are the Issue In the Campaign lie Says. Continnatlon Thereof Depends Upon the Besnlt. Oyster Bay, Sept. 21.-President Roosevelt In a letter to William B. McKinley. chairman of the Republican congressional committee, Just mad public, appeals to disinterested cltlzana to Join with the national Republican committee and the congressional com mittee in a movement to elect W. H. tart as president and a Republican congress to support him. After review 8m 0t th6 lmPiant legislation or the past seven years the president declares that Mr. Taft and the Re publican candidates for congress seek election on a platform which specifi cally pledges the party to continue and develop the policies which have been acted upon for seven years past. All the aid that can be given to per petuate the policy of the government as now carried on, the president says, should be given by every good citizen as it is far more than a partisan mat ter. The letter is as follows: epTTisS!11, yster Bay- N- T- Iptw ia a Slr:TIoohaV8 eived your letter of August 28. I agree with all JJ?a Bay, as to the "mount of af firmative and constructive legislation lor the social and economic benefit of our people which has been accompllsh- IzJH S.n,eM auri"Sr the last seven years. The law establishing a national system of irrigation was of vital im portance, and stands In its line as sec ond only to the homestead law. The interstate commerce law has been amended so as to make it a new law. with three-fold the efficiency of the old law. The enactment of the pure food law was of almost or quite equal im portance. The creation of the depart ment of commerce and labor, together with the creation of a bureau of cor porations, which marks the beginning of federal control over the huge cor porations doing an interstate business, the employers' liability law, the safety appliance law. the law limiting the working hours of railway employes, the meat inspection law, the denatured al cohol law, the anti-rebate law, the laws increasing the powers of the depart ment of Justice in dealing with those, regardless of wealth and power, who infract' the law, the law making the government liable for injuries to lta employes, the laws under which the Panama canal was acquired and is be ing built, the Philippines administered. and the navy developed, the laws cre ating a permanent census bureau and reforming the consular service and the system of naturalization, the law for bidding child labor in the District of Columbia, the law providing a com mission under which our currency sys tem can be put on a thoroughly satis factory basis, the laws for the proper administration oi tne xorest service, the laws for the admission of Okla homa and the development of Alaska. the great appropriations for the devel opment or agriculture, the legal prohi bition of campaign contributions from corporations all these represent but a portion of what has been done by con gress, and form a record of substantial legislative achievement in harmony with the best and most progressive thought of our people. It is urgently necessary, from the standpoint of the public Interest, to elect Mr. Taft and a Republican con gress which will support him: and they seek election on a platform which specifically pledges the party. alike in its executive and legislative! branches, to continue and develop the policies which have been not merely professed but acted upon dating these seven years. These policies can be successfully carried through only by the hearty co-operation of the president and congres in both lta branches, and it is therefore peculiar ly important that there should obtain such harmony between them. To fail to elect Mr. Taft would be a calamity to the country; and it would be folly, while electing him, yet at the same time to elect a congress hostile to him. a congress which under the Influence of partisan leadership would be cer-. tain to thwart and baffle him on ev ery possible occasion. To elect Mr. Taft, and at the same time to elect a congress pledged to support him, ia the only way in which to perpetuate the policy of the government as now carried on. I feel that all the aid that can be given to this policy by every good citizen should be given; for this is far more than a merely partisan matter. Both your committee, and the na tional committee, of which Mr. Hitchcock is chairman, are endeavor ing to secure the active co-operation on the stump of senators and con gressmen, party leaders and indepen dent citizens generally. I most heart ily join in urging the importance of such co-operation. I hope that every disinterested private citizen, whose sole concern in politics is to have the right kind of man carry out the right kind of policy, will join in back ing up your committee as well as the national committee in this movement. No service is as effective, aa valuable, as the disinterested service given in such manner by men whose one con cern is for the triumph of the prin ciples in which they believe; and I ap peal with all the strength there is in me to such men to give such support.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1908. LAG TO TOPEKA. Cooley'd Men Win First Sunday Game and Settle It. Take the First of a. Penile Header at Hutchinson. WICHITA'S HAtfD LUCK Loses in a Fifteen Inning Con test to Webb City. Joplin Won From Oklahoma and Jllidgpta From Enid.. Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 21. The Topeka Cooleyso- celebrated thet ini vasion of Hutchinson Sunday by tak ing; the first game of a double header and cinching the Western association pepnant for 1908. The Topeka team has always been a favorite in Hutchin son and the fans of this city repeated ly cheered the visitors. Although the locals lost the first game, the fans found plenty of eonsolatlon n the fact that Tnpeka -had cinched1 the pen nant. Throughout the season, Cooley's team has put up a game fight under the most distressing olraumstances at times, and every Hutchinson fan has elalraed Topeka, aa his second choice fne the bunting. Two thousand fans aw the game, It fell to the lot of RipHagerman to pitch the first game. The tall ToT peka boy was never in better form than when he held the Hutchinson team ta a scratch infield hit. It was such a scratchy- hit that when the game was over the fans cheered him repeatedlv, as they thought he had pulled eft a no hit game. It was a fitting elima to his splendid work this season. Roland Atchison, who worked for the. F ackers arid whq w ill be a Kansas City Blue next season, opposed Hager mn and gave a good account of him self. Cnfil the aixth tnning neither Side tallied. It was a e-reat pitchers' battle, Atchison being touched up oc; casionally but always keeping; his hits scattered. But In the sixth Abbott drew a walk, stole second and scored when Eddie Brennan got a slashing ingle to center field. J Again in the seventh the Topeka team got a run across. Wooley. sinr sled and went to third on Travis in, gle scoring on Andrews' long fly to Thraiiklll. This was all the searing of the game. The feature of the first game was Wooley's hitting and Hagerr man's pitching. The Topeka team was too elated over winning the pennant ta offer much ef a defense in the second game and the Packers won finite handily by a scare of 3 to 1- Barber and Root were the opposing pitchers. Root was touched up with frequency, I. Olson and Hass each getting three safe ones. Pr. Jasor Andrews came In for a large share of the applause. Twice during the first game, he was presented with beautiful and expensive floral f-r ferings by the fans of Hutchinson. The doctor was too much surprised to make a speech, although there were repeated calls for him to erate. Efforts. It is understood, will be made to secure Andrews to manage the Hutchison team again et season. locally tne aeciaing games m season were watched with a great deal cr interest.

The locals had a hard row to hoe at the end as the team was crippled. It was a great fight throughout the seasop and th best team won. Topeka is the only team in the leaeue this season, that has failed to display a streak Of yellow. The Okla homa -City -team played the. baby act In Topeka, while the Jobbers have la4 down a great deal of the time on ac count of personal enmity for Holland. The attention of the sporting editor of the Wichita Eagle is called to the fact that the name of Topeka's right? fielder is Davis, not Wright, as he was repeatedly called in the Eagle's sport columns and box scores. It was a great game that Hagerman pitched Sunday against Hutchinson. But for a little scratch hit which was about as much of an error as a hit Rip would have closed his career In the Western with a no nit game. Rip has been the mainstay of the Topeka team this seasop and he has the honor of being the only pitcher to remain throughout the' season. It was a fit ting honor for hini to pitch the decid ing game. What, has become ol "the man who talked about Webb City throwing games to Wichita? -The Tripletts chased the Jobbers fpr fifteen innings Sunday and then won put, giving them a clear right to fifth place. Fifth place by the way is the only position in dis pute. Wonder how Jack Holland accounts for being whipped by-Cole. The Hutchinson News makes an at tack pn Outfielder McLear charging him with loafing and throwing games to other teams. And still McLear Is one of the best players on the Hutchin son, team. Selhy's arm is slowly coming back. He could have worked in the Hutchin son' eeries had it been necessary. Cooley, who is at Paxico. sent for him Sunday and he worked in an amateur game there with Doran on the receive ing line. It is almost unnecessary to say that the "following is" from the Oklahoma City Times: It is to be hoped that the Jobbers will beat Cooley out in the race for the pennant. Cooley did not eive the Mets or the Jobbers a so." are deal end it would be Just should Wich ita wrest the flag at the eleventh hour- Jay Andrews is still mighty popular in Hutchinson. Twice Sunday he was presented with floral pieces by the fans of Hutchinson. And Jay could get his old job back at most any time. A di-. rector of the Hutchinson team who way in Topeka Saturday talked quite freeiy of the situation in that town and of? fered to bet that Andrews would be managing again next season. And he further stated that his stock would be fo"sale if Hutchinson didn't employ the old physish. There is a moral connected with the cinching of the pennant Sunday. As you may infer, it presents a splendid opportunity for those who have sub scribed to the pennant fund to pay up. Moral: Send in the amount of your subscription tp the sportir- editor Pi either paper. PLAYERS IS A FIGHT, Holland and Miller Fail to Whip a Half Dozen Cooleyites at Wichita. Wichita, Kan'.. Sept. 21.-The enmity of the Topeka and Wichita players camo to a head here last Friday night when several of the ToDeka players encountered JacK Holland and Dusty Miller of the Wichita team. Arguments of various sorts were indulged in by the different players. Those who were in the crowd were Root, Cole, Wooley', Andrews, Roach, Abbott. Bren nan Hollasd and Miller. Holland made some disparaging remark regarding Root's ability as a pitcher. Root resented it and annlied' some derogatory remarks to Holland. Holland started for Root, and made an attempt to hit hini. Root dodged, but Cole came to the rescue, colt is but about half as big as Holland bm Kot one of his left punches in Holland eve and blooS flew qute freely from the wound This was all of the fight as Hol land seemed to have all ha wanted and the Topeka players were ready to quit. Andrews left the crowd as soon, as has? tiltties commenced and did not appear (n public again during the saries. Neither Holland. Cole nor Rppt were at fhe game Saturday. MOSSE TO HELP COACH.

It is further Intimated that the new suit will result in the property of the Wheeling Lake Erie passing out of the control of the Gould interests and Into the control of the Harriman Rockefeller group of rallwav finan ciers. But the understanding among ranroaa men is tnat Gould would re tain about a half interest in the Wheeling. This theory is based upon the fact that Messrs. Harriman and Rocke feller took up the $8,000,000 in notes of the company which fell due on August 1 last. These notes were se cured by a $12,000,000 bond issue, a part of the general authorized col lateral bond Issue of $35,000,000. It Is said that these bonds are now held by the Harriman-Rockefellerinterests. were negotiated through the Central Trust company, and that by virtue of the new court action the control of the railway will pass to the Harri-man-Rookefeller group. The Wheeling Lake Erie is an important link in the Wabash system. A MECHANICAL. MEETING. Lra dins Officials of Santa Fe In Session at Albuquerque. Albuquerque, N. M.t Sept. 21.

Robinson, chief train dispatcher of the Missouri Pacific railway at Atchison, Kan., was thrown from his capsizing car and fatally injured, dying befor he could be taken to a hospital. Robinson came here in a touring car to attend the anniversary celebration of Horton's founding. Motor car races were proposed as a feature not on the programme and Robinson and Samuel Farmer of Horton agreed to race. A crowd went to the Low farm where there is a one mile track. Farmer started with a short lead and the men circled the track three times. As they came around the fourth time both ma chines were going at fifty miles an hour, slowing slightly as they met the near turn. It was seen that Robinson was com ing too fast and that he would have to pass Farmer on the curve of the nar row track. Too late to Blow down, Rob inson saw that he would hit Farmer's, machine or a slight embankment on the outside. He turned out, ran the right wheels up the embankment and tugged furiously at the wheel to right himself. The attempt was fatal. Un der the force of the turn at high speed the wheels crumbled and the machine shot across the track turning turtle and throwing the driver some distance with violence. He struck head fore most and was picked up unconscious. Loaded into the other car a run was made for the Horton hospital, but Rob inson died on the way. An examination showed that not a bone had been broken, death being due to a concussion of the brain. J. L. Robinson had been dispatcher for the Missouri Pacific at Atchison for many years. He was 35 years old and leave a wife, who was in Atchison at the time of the accident. WANT AN ALUMNI BUILDING. K. or U. Graduates WiU Be Asked to Contribute for One. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 21.

WOMEN SUFFER NEEDLESS PAIN Every woman has so much pain, work and worry in life that any need less daily suffering from backache, headache, dizziness, languor or other kidney ills is unfortunate, indeed. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life, health and strength to thou sands of women afflicted in this way, by curing the kidneys. If you don't Just understand your condition, don't forget that it may be the kidneys. Women easily fall victim to kidney ills. The confining work a woman does, the tight, heavy clothing she wears, the constant bending, reaching and lifting of housework, the cares of bringing up children, are all trying. Any fever, cold, chill or strain may weaken the kidneys, and set up con gestion, with backache and disturb ances of the urine. Too many women have come to think that backache, pain through, the hips, headache, "blues," dizzy spells, sick headache, nervousness and swell ing of the ankles, wrists or limbs; are troubles peculiar to the sex. Don't make that mistake. Suspect your kid neys first. Men have similar aches when the kidneys are sick. It is a woman's duty to herself and DOAN'S KIDNEY Sold by all dealers. Wright of Kirkwood.

Toole, the well known colored lawyer of this city, has filed a suit in the district court that will test the Jim Crow law of Oklahoma so far as it relates to interstate travel. The com plainant is Anna L. Toole and the de fendant is the Missouri, Kansas Texas Railway company. She sues for $5,000 damages for being ejected from the southbound passenger train run ning out of this city May 11. 1908, be cause she refused to enter the Jim Crow car after it had crossed the Okla homa state line. Mrs. Toole was at that time Miss Anna L. Stratford. In company with her father, whose home is at Tulsa, and her brother, Cornelius, who the night before had graduated from the Coffeyviile high school, she started for the family .home at Tulsa. All three bought tickets in the Katy station here, thus making an interstate trip. All three entered the chair car with white people and refused to leave it when ordered to do so by the train auditor after the-train had entered Oklahoma a mile south of this city. In her petition Mrs. Toole says she took a seat in a chair car and the train auditor came through and took her ticket the same as other passen gers. Later he returned and asked her to take a seat in another car. This she refused to do and at Dewey she avers that officers came in the train and she was threatened and abused. She refused tp change her seat, how ever. When the train reached Bartlesville she was arrested and ejected from the car and turned over to the Bartlesville police. SENATOR DOLLEV HELPED HIM. One Reason Why John Hoefner Was Released From Lansing. Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 21. A gov ernor's pardon was received at the Kansas state penitentiary for John Hoefner, an aged German prisoner brought in 12 years ago from Wa baunsee county. State Senator J. N. Dolley is personally Interested in Hoef ner and he will be released soon as Sen ator Dolley finds employment for him. Hoefner was one of the early settlers of Wabaunsee county and was doing well on a farm when he had trouble with a neighbor. The neighbor's hogs broke into Hoefner's cornfield and he would not pen them up when asked to do so. Hoefner finally locked the hogs up In a pen at his home. Then the Common Sense And A Tablet Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stom ach Trouble and Make Meals a Pleasure. When your stomach goes on a strike and mass meetings of indigna tion are held all over your body, then it is that you should sit up and take notice. It is clearly and only a question of common sense is this thing called Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eating, excesses and high Jiving, the things which the stomach needs and you have dyspepsia and Indigestion; then other maladies follow these this is common sense. The stomach is willing enough but you won't let it do its work. Tou take away the materials which are so neeessary for it to use. Give back these materials and dys pepsia and indignation flee and the whole machinery of man begins slowly to move and do it work. What the stomach needs is nerve force, fluids for its digestive glands, nourisnment and power. All these necessities it takes from the blood. If dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood, the blood gives nothing to the stom ach. This is common sense also, pure, simple and unallowed. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are com mon sense pressed by high power into tablets. In these tablets are powerful essences which go into the stomach, digest food, stop gas making, prevent decaying of food, enrich the gastric juices, are absorbed by the blood and thus give it strength to furnish a bet ter fluid for digesting the next meal. Every physician knows what com prises these tablets: every druggist has the same knowledge also. They are natural common sense digesters which do the work for the stomach quickly and well.

More than 1,000,000 barrels of apples are now being converted into cider in the cen tral Kansas fruit belt. This is prac tically the entire apple crop. Never in the history of this fruit belt have the orchards produced a heavier crop of apples than this year. But the apples are defective. During the summer, when the apples were about the size of a walnut, a ter rific hailstorm passed over the entire fruit belt. So sturdy were the stems that comparatively few apples were knocked from the trees. But they were all pecked on one side by the hailstones, deforming them as they matured. One half of each apple is Just as fine as ever Brew, but the other half is gnarled, which completely destroys them for marketable purposes. The only use to which they can be put is in making vinegar and the ap ple growers are grinding them up by the wholesale. Nearly every owner of a big orchard has put in a cider mill of his own to work up his crop. Those who have not established mills are marketing their crop at the vinegar works. The ruling price for apples is 25 cents a hundred. This is equivalent to IZVt cents a bushel. What few per fect apples that are culled from the hail-beaten orchards are selling tor 75 cents a bushel. ANGRY MANHATTAN CITIZENS. Thought to Have Destroyed the Home of Crev'ston. Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 21. The house of M. A. Creviston, the fisher man who murdered John Coons, Jr., the K. S. A. C. student here last Tues day night, was burned to the ground shortly after midnight of Saturday. It was a total wreck Sunday, viewed by hundreds of spectators, who express the belief that it was set on fire by some one as an act of revenge for the shooting of Coons last week. No one knows how the fire was started, the roof having fallen in be fore the town fire company arrived. Bystanders who were at the fire say that it burned as if an inflammable had been poured on it. The ruins give no clew as to how the fire was started. Ever since the killing of Coons there has been an undercurrent of revenge ful feeling against Creviston and the supposition naturally is that the house was purposely destroyed. T- Free u Japanse Slayer. Leavenworth. Kan., Sept. 21. Word has been received at the federal peni tentiary that a conditional pardon had been granted to K. Yoshita, a Japanese prisoner. He is to be released provided he returns to Japan and the Japanese imperial legation officials in Washing ton are to look after this part of it.

Whitlow Loses His Point. Iola. Kan.. Sept. 21. It begins to ap pear as though the entire evidence in the Samuel Whitlow murder case will be reopened in the action aginst Whit low for perjury. The defense objected vigorously to the introduction oi evi to her family to detect the first signs of kidney weakness, and to give the kidneys prompt help. A special rem edy for weakened or diseased kidneys, for backache and urinary disorders, is Doan's Kidney Pills, a composition of vegetable ingredients that may be ta ken by strong or weak, or young or old, for the action is gentle, and only on the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills restore normal action of the kidneys, regulate the urine, drive out backache and languor, and cure kidney trouble permanently. TOPEKA PROOF Mrs. A. Von Wolf. 2032 Buchanan street, Topeka, Kan., says: "Backache in my case was brought on I believe, by overwork. At first I paid little at tention to the trouble, thinking It would disappear, but such was not the case. When I exerted myself or caught cold I was sure to suffer from pain in my back and at night after I retired. t was unable to sleep on account of this misery. I was also subject to dizzy spells and rheumatic pains through my shoulders. Coming to the conclusion that my kidneys were out of order and learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I be gan using the remedy. Before long I was cured and I have no hesitancy In telling of my experience for the benefit of other sufferers."

Two Hundred Colonic of Bees to Be Placed on the Lombard Ranch. Syracuse, Kan., Sept. 21. Captain J. H. Wing, the well known bee man of Carleton, Colo., is here at the re quest of the owners of the large Lombard ranch, to arrange for plac ing two hundred colonies of honey bees on their place. This ranch is owned by a branch of the great financial house of Lombard. It in cludes about one thousand acres of alfalfa. The owners intend to turn this into a seed raising proposition, exclusively. A lack of insects to fer tilize the early blossoms has here tofore been the cause of early seed crops being of small value. The wild bees multiply so fast that by the time the third .crop of alfalfa is in bloom there are sufficient insects to fertilize all the blossoms. It is for the benefit of the first crop that the honey bees are required. Capt. Wing formerly lived in Hamilton county, and has for years had a number of colonies of bees on the John Betts ranch near Syracuse. Thesfe have done well and proved profitable. The captain considers this section as well adapted to the pro duction of bees and honey as any place in the valley. There are not now enough bees here to anywhere near supply the local demand for honey. The establishment of these two hundred colonies means a re vival of Interest In bee culture which will add materially to the prosperity of western Kansas. THROWN FROM AN AUTO.

IT'LL LEASED WIHE REPORT Of TUE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received in The Stat Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, has had a real Job cut out for him. He's been selected by the Republican na tional campaign managers to make a trip from ocean to ocean to make po litical speeches in reply to those that Mr. Bryan is scheduled to, make. The New ;York state Democratic ticket ought to be eminently satisfac tory, to the Republicans of the Em pire state inasmuch as Mr. Chanler, who is the Democratic candidate for governor has in times past publicly expressed his approval of Governor Hughes. Maybe Governor Haskell, of Okla homa, is not authorized by precedent to nominate members for the National Ananias club. But he has certainly Klven the necessary endorsements to qualify William Randolph Hearst for a life membership in that distinguish ed organization. The news conveyed by the reports of the condition of affairs in the com mercial and financial worlds during the past week are of the cheering va riety. The improvement in business In all lines is general, and, as might be expected, the best reports eman ate from the west. The increase of 209 in the number of children enrolled in the schools this year over the enrollment cT a year ago Is only another Indication of the growth of Topeka. Evidences of this are to be found on every hand and especially in the remarkable activities In the building- line. Some more bad news for denizens of the forests of Africa comes from Oyster Bay. Mike Donovan, the boxer, was a caller at Sagamore Hill the other day. He looked the nation's chief executive over and found him to be In fine physical condition and in no need of any special training; for the great hunting trip. Democratic enthusiasts should not become unduly elated because of the mobs of thousands that turned out to greet and hear Mr. Bryan during his recent visit to New York city. The crowds were Just as big when Mr, Bryan went to New York city while he was making his first and second at tempts to land the presidency. According to the New York Tribune there is no senator on the rolls of the New York legislature who is named J. B. Davis. This is the gentleman who was in Topeka recently, posing as a state senator In New York, and who delivered himself of interviews to the effect that Mr. Bryan was showing great strength in that state. Travel ing men are ever noted for perpetrating en occasional Joke. A pertinent question these days is: Where did Mr. Hearst get the letters from the vice president of the Stan dard Oil company to Senator Foraker, and also other letters of a private character between other individuals which he is using with such effect on the Stump? It's not reasonable to sup pose that the men taking part in these correspondences gave up the letters voluntarily to him. There are many excellent provisions In the state pure food law but one of the best of them Is that which prohibits grocerymen from displaying fruits and vegetables In front of their places of business. In such places these articles are subject to all the filth of the streets. A rigid enforcement of this section of the law, which Dr. Crum bine, the secretary of the state board of health promises. Is most desirable. It will be remembered that Just be fore the Democratic national conven tion, Herman RIdder, the prominent New York German editor, was so con vinced that Mr. Bryan stood no show of being elected that he stoppedVoff at Lincoln, Neb., and strongly urged Mr. Bryan not to be a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Now Mr. RIdder is saying In his great paper, the New York Staats Zeitung, that Mr. Bryan's chances for election are wonderful. He has already prophe sied that Mr. Bryan will sweep the west and he thinks that he will carry New York, New Jersey and some New England states. The platform adopted by the New York Republicans in their recent state convention, when public opinion with the help of President Roosevelt forced the re-noml nation of Governor Hughes, Indorses the Hughes administration In language so cold that the delegates actually laughed when it was read to them. This platform was written by the leaders opposed to Hughes. But Governor Hughes is the kind of a man who does not need a platform to help him to success. And if he was only vindictive he could certainly make life miserable for the New York Republican bosses who held themselves up to ridi cule by their fight against Hughes. MORALITY AND EDUCATION. The problem of moral education concerning which there has been much discussion in theological as well as pedagogical circles for many years past, with little result, Is engaging at tention abroad. From September 25 to 29 the first international assem blage for the consideration of this im portant subject will hold sessions in England, at the University of London. The formal title of the gathering is the International Moral Education congress'. Chief among the countries participating, in addition to Great Britain and her principal colonies, will be the United States, France, Italy, Russia. Belgium, Spain and Japan. The topics underlined for discussion seem to cover the whole field of moral education in the schools. They in clude the following: The Principles of Moral Education; Alms, Means and Limitations of the Varying. Jypes of Schools; Character Building by Disci pline, .Influence and Opportunity; The Problems of Moral Instruction; Rela tion of Religious Education to Moral Education; Special Problems: System atic Moral Instruction; The Teaching of Special Moral Subjects; The Rela tion of Moral Education to Education Under Other Aspects; The Problem of Moral Education Under Varying Con ditions of Age and Opportunity; Biology and Moral Education. Many eminent authorities will con tribute papers, among them Professors Mackenzie and Mulrhead of Great Britain, Felix Adler of the United States, Cesare Lombroso of Italy and Madame Kovalevsky of Russia. Un doubtedly the holdinsr of the con will tend to organize thought upon its important subject and will stimulate discussion of the problems of moral education In every country repre sented. A GOOD STORY, BUT An intensely exciting story was printed in the New York Herald the other day about one Willie McKinnon, who, while engaged in the nnstime nt cultivating garden truck in his father's back yard, heard a rushing noise like the approach of a railroad train. As there is a railroad track not far from the McKinnon home. Willie surmised that the noise was indeed made by a train, and did not look up from his work. But Just then there was a con cussion evidently caused by the Impact of a heavy body upon the surface of the earth, and immediately thereafter a shower of dirt fell upon Willie. These happenings caused Willie to hasten to tne corciusion that the noise he had heard had not been caused bv a train and he looked up and proceeded to In vestigate. Glancing about, he per ceived that something had fallen" on the earth not far away. He went 'to see what it was and found so the story continues "a substance almost per fectly round and about ten Inches In diameter." It is added that "the sur face of the meteor was deeply scored with what resembled hieroglyphics." The story in the Herald goes no farther, but there are several things in connection with It which render it Incredible. For Instance, if a meteor had fallen, as alleged, and was only ten Inches In diameter it would have buried Itself so far In the earth that Willie would have been digging still if hi curiosity had been aroused and he wanted to see what is looked like Thn again, it Is pretty certain that if there naa Deen any hieroglyphics on the meteor when it started for wmie-a neighborhood they would have been meuea ore long before they reached what is called terra firma. On the whole the conclusion seems inevitable that the story is a good one but that it isn't true. JAPAN'S FINANCES. Perhaps the most Important inter national news item of last week was the announcement of the modification of the Japanese naval programme. A drastic cut has been made in the proposed military and naval outlay, and the much heralded plan of adding to the already burdensome war taxes by the building of numerous war ves sels and Increasing the efficiency of the navy In other particulars has collaps ed. The reduction In the proposed ex penditures for the next half a dozen years amounts to $100,000,000, of which three-fourths is taken from the esti mates for the army and the navy. The Japanese national expenses have grown rapidly in recent years, those for the army and navy since the recent war with Russia, amounting to $45,000,000 more per year than was spent in the year preceding the war. The annual interest on the public debt is $60,000,000 greater than ever before. To meet this expense heavy taxes have been re sorted to; and it was proposed to In crease the indebtedness for the purpose of making still greater expenditures upon the army and navy, principally the latter. The radical change of this programme is exceedingly fortunate for the people already burdened with a re cent heavy income tax, a land tax, an Inheritance tax, a general excise, and a variety of stamp taxes, in addition to what were called the extraordinary special taxes for the immediate needs of the war with Russia. When the people, in the midst of fin ancial reaction and depression, learned that these extraordinary burdens of war, which, had been cheerfully borne while they were actually needed for the national defense, were to be continued and even made greater in times of peace, their discontent became irre slstible and the military enthusiasts have been forced to yield to the con ditions of the people and to the pres sure of foreign creditors. These facts should serve to remove any apprehension that may have been felt by some people about a possible war between Japan and this country. At present, for that country, such a programme, if it ever were contempla- ted, is out of the Question. Thus an other war scare nds and Richmond Pearson Hobson will have to find some thing else to talk about. Because a man has more money than brains that's no sign he is wealthy. Among the real agonies of the world that women never tell about are tight shoes. When a man. marries a widow the chances are he has not acted volun tarily but has been drafted. With the true philosophers of the world should be classed the married men who do not wish they were not. The man who can demonstrate that two can live as cheaply as one Is en titled to a foremost place among finan ciers. JAYHAWKER JOTS Concert notes from" the Atchison Globe: Bugs of all sizes and descrip tions swarmed around the lights at the park and on the street cars last night. "I paid for a street car ride, but seem to be getting a buggy ride.," said one woman on a car When the band played Lohengrin's wedding march last night a brakeman remarked that it was also known as "The Maiden's Prayer." It took seven hundred watermelons to feed the Inmates of the prison La bor day: The melon feast was pre pared and served in the large dining room at 9:30 o'clock. A half melon was placed at each man's place and as soon as Captain Hardman tapped the bell their disappearance was be gun. The men were also allowed the freedom of the yard during the morn ing and passed the time with singing, dancing, ball playing and boxing. Some of the boxing contests .were very In teresting, both to the participants and onlookers. The boys will not be given the freedom of the yard again until Thanksgiving Day. Lansing News. "Some farmers are known to be somewhat slack in the matter of keep ing the weeds trimmed along the pub lic roads and in fence corners," says the Hiawatha World. "And this. In a measure, explains why the farmer can struggle every year with the weeds in his field, possibly, by tireless effort freeing it from weeds In the fall, but still finds the weeds apparently thick er than ever before the following spring. In these roadside weed patches the farmer maintains a nursery for the crop he fights in his fields. A little attention to this matter would not only improve the looks of the roads, but would make the work on the farm easier in the long run, for weeds are the source of about half the work on the farm. Realizing this, the state agricultural department of Iowa has sent out printed instructions to far mers, telling them how best to destroy the roadside weeds common in that state. Something of the kind might be helpful from the pen of Mr. Co burn, for the farmers believe in him, and even if they already know a good method of weed extermination would be more likely to act upon his sug gestion. .Perhaps the best way is to keep them mowed close and keep from seeding. Every weed that grows seeds the country for miles around bothers not only the farmer on whose land it grows, but the seeds also blow on farms miles away." GLOBE SIGHTS. tFrom the Atchison Globe. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who took a pie to a pic nic? Poor man! he is bored to death to buy tickets to amateur entertainments, and then bored to death when he at tends. There are a number of cases In Atch ison where the oldest daughter in the family has more trouble and responsi bility on her shoulders than her moth er. Such a daughter would be a good woman to steal. An Atchison woman had a baby to care for one morning recently, and the baby was teething: a big ironing, peaches to put up, catsup to make, dinner to prepare, and all the house work to do. and she had also, in ad dition to all this, Only One Pair of Hands. Every summer, somewhere inthe world, a woman puts up blackberries, strawberries, cherries, peaches, etc.. working from early to late. Then af ter she has done her share, the shelf fh the cellar falls, and everything is lost, all because her husband hasn't done his share. This is the tale of an old-fashioned woman. Her husband, who had ac cumulated wealth as the years went by, and had begun to take life easy- worried because his wife worked as hard as ever. He hired a cook, and within two weeks found his wife wait ing on the cook. Then he hired, a maid to wait on the cook, and a short time afterward found his wife wait ing on the maid. At one time he had hired four persons, a man, a cook, the maid and a scrub woman, and found that his wife worked as hard as ever. (This is an explanation of why a cer tain man sits on th& front porch and reads and smokes while his wife who has earned equal right to rest, is scrub blng in the kitchen. She is enjoying herself in her way, Just as much as he is in hl3.J The front yard of the average Amer lean house is very neat, as a rule, but in the alley back of the kitchen may be found many evidences of lack of neatness. In the average American home you will find a very neat parlor, but the kitchen and the sleeping rooms, where the people live, are not equally neat. It would be a remarkably good thing if people gave more attention to their cellars, which are often foul, and breed disease. The contagions which carry oft the children often originate In the cellars, and back yards. We would not advise less attention to the parlors, on the center tables Of which will usually be found handsomely bound copies of "Lucile," but more attention to the cellar, the kitchen, and the back yard.

Few and short were th6 prayers he said, and he breathed not a word of sorrow, as the restaurant "bouncer" seized him by the coat collar and kicked him so zealously that he looked like a high fly. He landed in the mid dle of the street, where the vitrified bricks were worn and rough, and cov ered him with bruises and contusions. It happened in St. Louis the other day. The victim had been trying to find work, and had no success; he had been turned but of his room, because he couldn't pay rent; he had eaten nothing for two days, and he was des perate. So he went into a cheap restaurant and called for liver and bacon and a cup of coffee. After eat ing these viands, and all the bread and pickles and ketchup on the table, he went to the cashier and explained that he had no money. "I was starving." said he; "if you will trust me until I get work. I'll bring the first money I earn to pay for this meal." The cashier held up one finger of his left hand, and crossed It with one finger of his right. It was the grand hailing sign to the bouncer. That functionary stepped blithely up, with the results outlined above. The moneyless man felt that a crime had been committed. He com plained to a nassine policeman, and insisted that Justice be done. The passing policeman invited him to flee from the wrath to come. "Chase yourself, or I'll run you .in," said the officer. Then he went to a lawyer, ana the lawyer was Interested until he confessed that he had no money, when the Janitor was summoned, and he went downstairs on his head. He re paired to the police headquarters, and his narrative made such an impres sion upon the desk sergeant that he was locked up on a charge or vagrancy and the next morning drew sixty days. This little true story is valuable only as showing how little chance the man who is down and out has against him; his misfortunes appeal to nobody: starving, he is grudged a meal, and after being kicked and mannanaiea for trving to save his own life.-the authorities assure him that he got nothing more than was coming to him. Still, as the poet says, meres a wel come above for the moneyless man. Emporia Gazette. RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONISTS. Nothing, perhaps, better illustrates the earnestness of those revolutionists, or patriots, of Russia, who are con tinually making trouble in that coun try, than the tact that even alter De ing sent to the Siberian prisons, ani released, or escaping, they return to their work of spreading tne revolu tionary propaganda with increased en thusiasm. A book, "Heroes and Heroines of Russia," has lately been written by Jaakoff Perlooker, a noted Russian author and lecturer, which deals with these revolutionists, and their thrilling adventures, particularly their service in and escapes trom Rus sian prisons of one kind or another. He tells of one prisoner who was sen tenced to death, the sentence later be ing communted to" life imprisonment. This man. was placed in a Russian prison, from which no prisoner ever escaped, -but he did coming out con cealed in a barrel of pickled cabbage. Atchison Globe. FROM OTHER PENS WHAT KIND OF CHILDREN? -A British ''argument against the' so cialistic legislation of parliament is that It tends to wipe out the middle class. The support 'of children .-by the state and the furnishing of free meals and clothes, coal and charitable em ployment tend to Increase the size oi the families of irresponsible parents and to diminish the number ot enil dren of the men who pay the taxes. This tendency has progressed further in the United States than in Great Britain. The children of college grad uates averages only one and a half, which means the gradual extinction of such families. Thousands of married couples with incomes of from $2,000 to $6,000 a year, who fill the family hotels and west side apartment nouses, aver age less than one child to the family. Any man can relieve himself of the support of his children by becoming a drunken loafer. The city will then bring up his children at a cost of $2.50 per week. How many worklngmen can afford to pay that much to feed and clothe their children? How many tene ment house homes have as well aired and lighted rooms, as wholesome a diet and such medical and sanitary supervision as the city and state in stitutions? New York World. REFORM OF THE LAW. Let there be less legislation, and no legislation that la not loyally regard ful of and coherent with the funda-: mental principles of Jurisprudence. In perhaps nine cases out of ten where a new law Is proposed it is superfluous because there, is already an old law, flawless and esablished, that amply meets the purpose.;." In some states a fever for legislating, coupled with pro found ignorance of the alphabet of legal principles in the legislatures, has cumbered the ground with statutory rubbish and a resulting Jungle of de cisions, making, of Jurisprudence "a climax of absurdities and a wreck of principles," Since law' Is, in the last analysis, a statement of rights; the consequences to society and individuals of a Juris prudence grown chaotic are easily conceivable. Those authoritative voices now raised against the descent to chaos and for a return to and a diligent study of first principles, are earnest and patriotic and bent on pub lic service.- What can be worse than an anarchy of laws a Jungle where the path to settled, fundamental, normal legal rights is obscured or lost? Milwaukee Sentinel. o BUENOS' AYRES -STILL GROWING. The statistics of the far southern metropolis of Buenos Ayres continue to demonstrate vigorous growth, and a notably low death rate. At the first of this year the population was 1.102, 000. and on June 30 it had risen to 1,146,865. The birth rate is high, 35.64 per 1.000, and the death rate only 15 per 1,000. This gives what is technical ly known as a "vegetative" increase, reinforced, so to say, by Immigration which Is continuous, and is derived from two healthy and productive races, the Italian and the Spanish. In Buenos Ayres, as in this city, the number of deaths of little children Is comparatively large, more than a quar ter part of the mortuary total, and this condition of things is ascribed to in Judicious feeding which is equally the case in this city, the carelessness or ignorance of mothers among the poorer classes being the prime cause. The remarkable healthfulness of the Argentine capital, is due in good part to the prevalence of invigorating winds continually renew the air of the city. This was noticed at the foundation of the city, and hence Its name. Mexico Herald. TIS A DINKY UTTLE WORLD. A-cashier ln a downtown bank. With a knack for manipulation.

New York is about to honor Its first governor as an American state, and the body of George Clinton, which had lain ln the Congressional cemetery, Washington, for ninety-six years, was exhumed last week to be removed to Kingston, where a tardy memorial to this buried merit is soon to be dedicated. George Clinton is not a familiar name to the people of today, but in his prime he was a power, and stood well up toward the head of American public men of the second class. He was a general in the Revolution at the same time that he was the governor of New York, whose capital was then Kingston. For almost twenty years he held the governorship, and was not only prominently mentioned for the presi dency, 'but received seven electoral votes for that office. He died In his second term as vice president, and was one of three men who have been twice elected to that place, the others being Daniel D. Tompkins, of New York, and Calhoun, of South Carolina. George Clinton, whose fame has been eclipsed by that of his brilliant nephew, De Witt Clinton, cannot be classed with Calhoun, who was a mighty Intellect, but he was superior to Tompkins, who was a common place politician. It is difficult to draw any con clusion as to the popular estimate of the vice presidency in the earlier days from the re-election of Clinton, Tompkins, and Calhoun, they were so different in character and abilities. Clinton was a powerful politician, who carried with him the prestige of his services to the patriot cause in the Revolution. Hence, it may be Inferred that many who voted for him thought him worthy of yet higher honors. Tompkins cannot, however, have been reckoned in his own time as the peer of Monroe, with whom he served. It is doubtful if Calhoun's powers impressed his contemporaries in 1825, when he first took the oath as vice president, to the same extent as they did a few years later, but .as suming that some fore-glimpse of them reached the electorate, we are still left to the conclusion that the popular estimate of the place oscil lated between regarding it as a solatium for disappointed ambitions and as an understudy for the presi dency. Boston Transcript. Bulldog Has Bank Account. "Bluff" is the richest bulldog in Chi cago. He Inherited a fortune of $1,000 yesterday, so Bluff will live in peace and comfort all the rest of his days. William E. Butts, a wealthy resident of the South Side, who owned "Bluff," died recently. In his will he provided that a piece of real estate which Mr. Butts valued at $1,000 be sold. He di rected that the proceeds of this sale be used to purchase a small grave stone to ;mark the resting place of himself and wire and the remainder be devoted to the maintenance of his pet bull terrier. Mr. Butts' will was admitted to pro bate before Judge Charles S. Cutting yesterday. As the result of the odd provision In the will one of the execu tor's first acts will be to auction off the real estate. Then, following out Mr. Butts' last testament, he will pur chase a modest grave stone, probably costing $50. The remainder he will place in bank to the name of "Bluff." So "Bluff" win be not only the wealthiest bulldog in the city, but, as far as is known, the only dog In the world with a bank account of its own. A little bank book will be issued in the name of "Bluff" and checks against the account will be signed "Bluff" by the administrator of the estate, who will look after "Bluff's" future. Bluff is ho longer young. He has reached the age dignity and embonpoint when he -wags his tail only after ma ture deliberation, and enjoys nothing so much as a good dinner and a quiet siesta ln the sun. If he rounds out the average life of a bulldog he may live five years yet. He will be able to spend about $200 a year before his fortune disappears. "Bluff" will live like a canine aristocrat until he dies. Chi cago Inter-Ocean, Snake and Squirrel In Mortal Combat A story from McComb this morn ing may cause President Roosevelt to cry "nature fake," but that will not detract from its truth. On the farm of Lewis Crew a tree snake,. 4 feet 6 Inches long, gave, battle to a squirrel, which was only ended by Farmer Crew shooting his snakeship with his trusty. Mr. Crew was sitting in the house behind -closed doors, when he heard his pet squirrel making a queer noise. He Immediately went to the spot whence the sound came and saw the snake and the squirrel doing fierce battle thirty feet from the ground. The squirrel was sitting on its haunches, and as the snake would strike the squirrel would strike back with Its paws. Findlay, O., dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer. The Hoop Snake. The universe is eager to hear what President Roosevelt has to say on any and all subjects. But is he really up on snakes? By nature he is down on them. What does he know of the hoop snake of the south? Thousands of men could be presented to him who would swear to the existence of such a creat ure. It forms Itself into a hoop, when offended, by taking its tail into its mouth, and chases its enemy by roll ing along the highway at terrific speed. If the enemy hides behind a tree this wonderful serpent, going too fast to turn aside, strikes the trunk with such force as to bury its spiked tall ln the bark. This anchorage renders it help less and the enemy either escapes or kills Mr. Hoople. New York Press. THE EVENING STORY Matchmaking Billy Judson.

From the Chicago News. A wagging tongue opens the way for a lot of trouble. Don't be a camel, always going around with your back up. Some people's only object In life seems to be to start, something. Many a man's ship doesn't come ln because he failed to start it. Appearances may be deceitful, but disappearances are more convincing. Most men start out with good Inten tions, but somebody hands them trans fers. Ever notice how the other fellow happens to have your umbrella when it rains? And many a man doesn't let his right hand know that what It gives is grab bed back by his left. If a woman hasn't anything else to worry about she proceeds to acquire an ailment of some kind. Occasionally a woman puts her best foot forward for the purpose of tread ing on some man's heels. When a man can't find something he wants around the house, he begins to accuse his wife of meddling with his affairs. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Don't count your chickens before they are in the pot. A man can wear a crash suit with out being a loud dresser. It isn't the law of gravitation that causes a clock to run down. The average woman is apt to tell all she knows, and then some. It is human nature to feel sorry for the people who don't like us. The Biblical injunction to spare the rod doesn't appeal to the fisherman. A man is sometimes away off when he claims that distance lends enchant ment to the view. This is not my long suit," remarked the whist playing woman as she put on her rainy day skirt. Hoax "The sailor always believe in calling a spade a spade." Joax "Then wny aoes ne can a snip a-noy T" No. Maude, dear; we have never heard that Wall street was so called because it has sent so many men to the wall.

It May Be Made a Permanent Nation al Military Reservation. Fort Sill. Ok., September 21. Indica tions point strongly to the establish ment at Fort Sill. Okla., of a perman ent national military reservation by the government. It is understood con gress will be asked to appropriate suf ficient funds at the coming session to materially increase the size oi! this brigade post, and that it will be made the central gathering place and train ing ground of the army. The fort is at present of the rank of brigade post, and has approximately 50,000 acres. It is beautifully located at the foot of the Wichita mountains, in tho midst a climatic condition which enables open air. drilling the year around. There was some question a-s to the availability of water supply, and the government is now testing out this to determine quality and quantity of water at hand. Fort Sill, which will become one of the greatest military reservations In the world. Is rich In historic interest. Fort Sill has been the center of things doing for more than a half century. As far back as the early '50s it was that a general campaign was ordered agaln.t the Indians in the southwest, tho Comanche?, Kiowa?, C'heyennes. Navajors and Arapahoes, the warring bands which were contin ually raiding the settlements of Texas, Kansas and Colorado. In the year 1850 the first detach ment of United States soldiers arrived to establish an army post. They pitch ed their tents on Otter creek near where is now located Snyder, where they remained several months, and the few citizens then inhabiting thin section of the country christened it Fort Radiminsky. At this point they erected a few log cabins and many years after the cabins had been de stroyed by age and fire the chimneys of the stone fire places pointed heav enward, to designate the spot where the old fort was situated. While this Xort was in its making the United Bird's Eye View of Fort S1U. Sill has always been looked upon with favor by the war department officials. During the transformation of the post from its village of a few houses to its present proportion Fort Cobb and Fort Arbuckles. in close range of Fort Sill, were abolished, and Fort Sill became the headquarters for the post merged and for the army of the southwest.

Mrs. Catha rine demons Gould: who is suing Howard Gould for divorce today ap plied to the court for an order for $120,00 a year alimony and $15,000 for her counsel fees. The argument was adjourned until October I. at From that time onward Fort the reauest of Cornelius Sullivan, States surveyors were at -work laying out the ground for the new Fort Sill, and the following summer the troops moved to Fort Sill. Four years later George B. McClellan, thon a United States surveyor, entered the country and made the first' survey of the sur rounding country. He directed the survey In person and established the meridians and township lines which unto this day are recognised through out this country. When General Sherman In the win ter of 1S69 directed his campaign against the Wichita Indians he moved his troops from Fort Reno to Fort Sill and quartered his soldiers here sev eral weeks. Interrupted bv the Civil war. Fort Sill dirt not advance in con struction work for nearly 20 years af ter its founding. With but a very few cabins to mark the spot where the post was located, it remained until the '70's, when it was designated by the government as a permanent army post. counsel for Mr. Gould. Mr. Sullivan declared that Mrs. Gould is undergo ing no hardships, and added: "Mrs. Gould is generously allowed for by her husband. In November, 1907, Mr. Gould started to provide for her at the rate of $25,000 a year. The plaintiff has no children. Furthermore, the plaintiff has pledged the defendant for articles purchased since the alleg ed separation to the extent of $100,000 or $150,000. She purchased Jewelry to the amount of $60,000 within six weeks of the time of the alleged abandon ment. Clarence J. Shearn. counsel for Mrs. Gould, replied that it was very neces spry that Mrs. Gould be provided for at once.

White Plains, N. Y., Sept. 21. Argu ment on Harry K. Thaw's application for a jury trial as his sanity in habeas corpus proceedings before Supreme Court Justice Mills was adjourned to day until next Saturday, at the request of District Attorney Terome, who has been unable as yet to prepare his re turn to the writ. In the meantime Thaw will remain in the White Plains jail. Justice Mills was impatient at the delay. He said after Mr. Jerome had made an explanation of the reasons why he was not ready to make the argument: "I have been giving constaeranie in vestigation to tlie law on the question whether', the -rela tor. Is- entitled to 'a jury trial, and am anxious to dispose of the matter. I had understood that at this time the question of a jury trial would be taken up and have supposed that the pleadings would set forth all the facts that need to be considered In this question." Judge Mills said he would render his decision speedily after the case is called before him. If he decides to deny the jury trial Thaw will have to return to Matteawan unless the bank ruptcy proceedings in Pittsburg should meanwhile take such a turn that Thaw would be transferred there under the authority of the United States court. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 21. Judge Arch bald was in court this afternoon await ing to hear arguments on the motion to declare Harry K. Thaw in contempt of court for failing to appear in the bank ruptcy proceedings at Pittsburg.

A SENSIBLE PLAH, Mr. Jordan Would Stop Cars "Near" Side of Street. on Councilman Jordan will introduce a resolution at the next regular council meetinir looking to the introduction of an ordinance regulating the stopping of street cars. The idea Is to have all cars stop at the near Instead of the far crossing at the street intersections. The death of Mr. Marple, who was struck by a car at the corner -of Laurent "and Kansas avenue, in North Topeka. last week was due to the fact that iwr Mamie, who came out of a grocery store at the corner and started across the street, did not see the ap proaching car. He passed behind a car going north which had stopped Just across the street The car going south, which struck the unfortunate man, -passed the car standing on the north side of the crossing and killed the pedestrian, when if it had been stopped at the near side of the cross ing such an accident would been im- nnnslble. Mr. Jordan's idea is to have the cars here observe the rule practiced in near ly all large cities, wnicn is to stop when approaching a street crossing in stead of crossing the street and then stopping. Street cars always -stop when approaching a railroad crossing. Why? To Insure that their cars shall extra September special men's pure wool worsted suits, in brown, olive, mode and gray shades, in narrow and wide stripe effects; also pure dye, fast color Diue serges and black thibets and blue pencil stripes.

Bryan Says Republican leaders Op pose Reforms He Proposes. Brockport, N. Y., Sept. 21. In a vigorous speech at this place today de livered to a big crowd from the rear platform of his special car, Mr. Bryan attacked the Republican party on its record of things accomplished.. Presi dent Roosevelt he said, was not satis fled with the ability of Mr. Taft to present the Republican cause and rep resent the Republican party and therefore he had given two endorse ments of his former war secretary. "But," he said, "It will require more endorsement then that from the presi dent to convince the people of this country either that the Republican party has done all that it should do or that Mr. Taft will do what ought to be done." Mr. Bryan declared that whatever Mr. Taffs inclination may be he must co-operate with the Republican lead ers in the senate and house and If he did not have influence enough to secure the kind of a platform he want ed at Chicago, If the Republican lead ers at Chicago were willing to defy him in the very presence of the cam paign if they were willing to reject popular proposals in the face of the voters are they likely to harmonize with him after election when It is not necessary to consult public opinion? Mr Bryan called attention to what he aid was- the conflict which has been going on for four years between the president and congress. "The president, himself," he said, "has not been able to seure from a Republican congress the legislation he specifically asked for and when he asks that Mr. Taft be elected to con tinue the work of reform he confesses that the work of reform has not been completed. And you must remember that the reformation he talks about is the reformation of Republican laws and abuses that have grown up under Republican administrations and If Mr. RoSsevelt has not been able to secure these things how do you expect Mr. Taf? to secure them, especially when the convention that nominated him has gone on record against several of the feforms for which Mr. Taft personally StlrS?Bryan declared that a Demo cratic victory "will do more to coerce Republicans in the than anv persuasion that Mr. Tart can bring to bear if you have a Re publican victory endorsing the record of the Republican party and the rec ord of the very men who stand out against reform. There is no popularity In the president." Mr. Bryan exclaimed, "that is not traceable to his endorse ment of a Democratic idea." Mr. Roosevelt, he said, had not endorsed all of the Democratic ideas and had not shown himself successful In handling the Democratic ideas he had endorsed, but he said It is un grateful to oppose the Democratic Dr. J.

Phone V COLBY'S BIG FIGHT. Decision Will Be Itt-ndercd by the Voters Tomorrow. Newark. X. J.. Sept. 21. State Senator Everett Colby, ..the. wealthy young lawyer of Orange, who for two years past has been a national political figure because of his aggres sive leadership of the "New Idea" element in the Republican party In this Mate, will see the hottest cam paign he has yet waged end to morrow, when New Jersey will try a new system of direct primaries for the first time. Colby, as is well known, fathered the "New Idea." the objects of which are to force certain legislative, concessions from corpora tions and the Republican organiza tion, such as a public utilities com mission and equal taxation and he has been the most prominent man in the legislature for some time. The new law owes itself to in dependent factions of both the Re publican and Democratic parties and the canvass in Essex county, has re united in such omplications that to day no one can be found who will venture to predict the outcome. The excise question has been the dominating issue tn the senatorial, the Shrievalty, the mayoralty, the ward and even the national sides of the campaign in Newark and Essex county. Practically everything else has been lost sight of. Senator Colby and Former Judge James L. Raymond are the aspirants for the Republican nomination for senator. Both have come out for the enforcement of the "Bishops" or the excise law, until the people can vote on whether they want it changed or not. But Senator Colby has been trying to persuade en-Judge Ray mond to make a public statement as n -V.nvA Via 1 1-n.l.i.n ters which are In the "New Idea" platform and are described as in the nature of reforms, but has not been able to elicit any response. Raymond will have the strongest possible backing of the regular Re publican organization at the pri maries. On the Democratic side, Absalom tBachman, a new comer In that field of active politics, whose home is in West Orange, is being given the sup port of the party organization. The two candidates opposing the organiza tion are Frank M. McDermttt and Harry V. Osborne. Senator Colby had Winston Churchill of New. Hampshire make several speeches for him. TOOPEH TONIGHT.

The fact that gives this re port more weight than ordinary ru mors is the statement of one of the officials to the effect that during the visit of President T. G. Shaughnessey of the Canadian Pacific railroad in SI. Paul last week an unlimited option on the Chicago Great Western was ob tained by President Shaughnessey and Horace G. Burt from the receivers of the Great Western. Further, it is stated that owing to the labor troubles which the Canadian Pacific system is having it is impossible for that system to take over the Great Western now, and for that reason the option was obtained from the receivers.

Sept. 21. The stock market started In unsettled today as a consequence of the weakness last week. Seiling orders from outside sources came into the market over Sunday and caused declines on the first transactions of 1 to 2 V, noints in the market leaders.

The recovery early invited renewed selling and acute weakness followed in the course, of the first hour, most of the active stocks falllne half to 2 y below Saturday's last prices. The turn taken by the political canvass towards increased prominence of the anti-corporation issue was not relished by the element active in stock speculation. McFarland Surrenders. Toronto, Ont..

The big shop is in Ijoliday dress from tho basement to the top floor and the decorations, the work of Mr. Harley Whitman, would do credit to any city.

The little pond, circular in shape, is filled with lilies and lily pads and bordered with grasses and there is a fountain in the middle. An orchestra of eight pieces under the directions of Mr. Ray Hall is nlavinsr all day and the shop will be open until nine-thirty tonight.

Sept. 21. Renew ing his campaign In New York state territory William j. Bryan denounced the record of trie Republican party, accused President Roosevelt of purloining- Democratic ideas and owing his popularity to them and charged Mr. Taft with being unable to effect any reforms, and declared that a Democratic victory would do more to coerce Republicans in congress than try persasion that Mr. Taft could bring to bear," if a Republican victory was achieved on that party's record. Having traveled all night from Albany a short stop was made in Rochester between trains. Proceed ing on to Buffalo, addresses were made at Erockport. Holley. Albion and at this place, where Mr. Bryan spoke from a platform In the school campus. It became evident from the outset thflt PrpsMpnt TlnRPvrlt and Mr. Taft were to be made the objects of Mr. Bryan's attack. At Holly the president was .criticized for not en forcing the antMrust law against many of the trusts.1" "This Is their record "and theycan not"fcslpe Troni it." Mr. "BrJ a'tf" said". At. Albion, the Democratic candi date made reference to Mr. Taft's lengthy absences from Washington, while ho was a member of the Roose velt cabinet and in that connection he spoke of the panic of last fall. Ac cording to their-own theory he main tained the Republicans could not es cape the responsibility for the panic because It must be charged to the president in power. "Not only did that panic come un der the Republican president, who picked out the Republican candidate now running, but that Republican candidate was in his cabinet at the time and was associated with the president all the time when he was away from Washington." Amid laughter Mr. Bryan said that the only way the Republicans would be able to get that panic off Mr. Taft's shoulders would be to argue "that the president allowed It to come when Mr. Taft was not there; that if Mr. Taft had been there he could have pre vented it." Mr. Bryan also spoke of "the old Republican campaign slogan of the full dinner pail." but said that that was no longer their slogan or em blem. "Their new slogan Is." he said, "It might have been worse." The speech here was along similar lines with some additional remarks in which he answered several questions put to him by the Chicago Tribune. STILL IN THE RACE. Foraker Has Xo Thought of Giving Vp Senatorial Fight. Akron. O.. Sept. 21. Senator Dick, who arrived home today from a con ference with Messrs.

Discharged Because He Was a Friend of Jcnkens, He Say. Referlng to his discharge from the city police force Saturday evening F. M. Duncan, who has been a member of the police force of Topeka for six years said: "My discharge was caused by my friendliness for Sergeant Jenkins who was discharged two or three weeks ago on statements made by two disre putable negro women. "I was on duty at the station at the time Jenkins alleged misconduct occurred and I know that the charges specified are untrue. I have repeated ly made this statement to the men working with me on the force and I suppose that Chief Eaton heard of my statement. I have stated from the first that I would tell the entire truth about the matter though It cost me my place as an omeer. "I do not believe that because a man Is a policemen that he should be asked to perjure, his soul by his superior., and while Eaton- has said nothing to me about this case I know what he did when Sergeant Jenkins refused to tes tify a he wanted him to in a case which came up a number of months ago.. "The men who are yet aa duty at the station feel as I do about this mat ter and It has. been freely discussed. I asked for the reason for my'discharge but was given none and I feel, as though I am being honored by being discharged because I will not perjure myself for any man. chief of police or otherwise. Eaton is a dangerous man and an officer cannot do his bid ding and keep his self-respect." Tom Costello, the new patrolman, employed in place of Duncan, is a citi zen of Topeka and has been for three years, and last worked in the Santa Fe shops here. He had the recommen dation of a councilman and several prominent citizens for the place. kernITcoming. Also J. Ham Lewis, Gore, the Blind Senator, and Other Spellbinders.

Each of the county chairmen In the state has been requested to send to state headquarters a list of all the first voters in his county, together with the probable politics of the voters .and the politics of his father. The county chair man will organize the first voters into Taft clubs, and see that they are sup plied with the right kind of Republi can reading matter from state head quarters. The state committee has se cured a large supply of special buttons for First Voters" Taft league, and these are being distributed through the county chairmen. Four years ago it is estimated that there were 60,000 first voters in Kansas, it is said. NEW WORLD'S RECORD. Is Made by Wilbur Wright at Lenians, France. Lemans, France, Sept. 21.

Subscriptions to Baseball Pennant Fund Now Due. This little paragraph is intended as gentle reminder to the Topeka feise ball public, that the subscriptions to the pennant fund are now due. Prompt payment of the same wiil be greatly appreciated by those who have the fund in charge. It is hoped that all the payments will be made by Sun day. It la planned to have a little pre sentation ceremony at this time. A double hader will be played with Omaha and the presentation will be made between the games. Remittances can be made in cash or tiy check or draft, postofflce money order, or in any manner, to the sporting editor of eith er the Capital or State Journal. The amount Is in the neighborhood of six hundred dollars. and while not as much as was desired, will still make a neat little bonus to the players. If there are any others who wish to make contributions to this fund now that the pennant Is won. subscriptions will be gratefully received. HOUSE CONTROL. Many Members Hold Seals by Narrow Marigns.

When it is remembered that the average poll in a congressional election will average at least 30,000 votes, it is easy to imagine the possi bility of the Democrats "obtaining the necessary 29 additional seats, which The Senate Is Resrard-Ml as Safe for Years. Washington, Sept. 21. So thoroughly has the country been engrossed in the presidential repartee between Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan that the congressional elections have been largely overlooked In the public eye. The fact remains that the congressional elections are be ing watched from Washington with even greater care and anxiety' than is the result of the presidential canvass. ':ai 1 Congressman Henry S. Caullield of St. IiOuis, Mo., Who Was Elected by a Majority of 38 Out of 28,000 Votes. Both Democrats and Republicans are operating congressional campaign bu reaus from this city, and the Work Is at its height. The impartial ob server is forced to believe that it is almost a physical Impossibility for Democrats to control the next house of representatives unless Bryan is elected president by such a landslide of votes that he can carry scores of doubtful congressional districts with him. Nevertheless, ever since their success two years ago in cutting the Republi can majority in the house from well over 100 down to 57, the Democrats have been steadily making the procla- J Congressman John C. Chancy of Sul livan, Incl.. Who Was Elected by 340 Majority Out of 45,000 Votes. mation that 'this year they would wrest control from the Republicans and re turn a majority of the representatives. There are now in the house 223 Re publicans and 165 Democrats, with two vacancies caused by death, one I :epub- lican and one Democrat. The filling of these vacancies will not alter the Re publican majority of 57. To control the next house the Democrats must hold their entire present strength r and change 29 districts from Republican-to Democratic. Even then their contro of the house would be but one vote and masterful leadership would be required to accomplish Democratic legislation. The question, then, is this: Can Democracy return Its 166 members who sat in the sixtieth 'congress, and can it defeat at least 29 Republicans who are also sitting in the sixtieth congress? f X I l "fZJk J v. sNl Congressman A: 'if. Sabath of Chicago, Who Was Elected by 911 Majority. would bring it tho controt Particul arly is the possibility-not -entirely un feasible when It is noted that the statea which contribute these close districts are principally Indiana, Mis souri and Kentucky, three states which admittedly are open battle grounds in the present campaign, and three states, in which a:;Bryan ma jority might easily bring, the much coveted congressional advantage. But it must be remem.be.red that while gaining these additional 29 Re publican seats -Democracy must hold its entire present strength of 166 votes. And there are even more dis tricts in.' .Which Democracs were seated two years ago by narrow mar gins than there are Republican. A change of 28 votes in the Ninth Ohio would seat a Republican, and what' are 22 votes in a total of 36,000? A. change of 200 votes in the Sixth Ken- i tucky. the Fifteenth Missouri, the Seventeenth Ohio. the Fifteenth Pennsylvania, the Eighth Tennessee or the Fifth- Virginia would unseat Democrats and thus mortgage the possibility of their congressional su premacy. A change of 300 votes would unseat Democrats In the Third Indiana, the Thirteenth Missouri, the Sixteenth Missouri and the Second Nebraska. A change of between 500 and 00 votes would send Republican successors to present Democratic congressmen from- the FifUn Illinois, the Thiri Maryland, -the Tenth North. CaJOlina, .the Second Okla homa, the Fourteenth Pennsylvania, the First Rhode-r island, the Second Minnesota, the Fourth Missouri, the Eighth North Carolina, the Fifth Ohio,, the Sixth Ohio-.and the Thira Wisconsin,, r Study of' these .figures is conducive to the belief that a Republican house of representatives is to continue, al though the figures are. sufficiently close to demonstrate that a landslide in either direction might win the much sought control. There are as many close districts now Democratic as Re publican, but the Democrats have this advantage in regard to the close places.

Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia, which normally are so heavi ly Democratic that the probability of loss is much less than in the doubtful states of Indiana, Ohio and the middle west, where most of the close Repub lican Cistricts are. The Republican congressional hopes are principally mortgaged by organized troubles. In such states as New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Colorado, Connec ticut and others, internal party trou bles have weakened party foundations. Nevertheless it will be a political mir acle if Democracy succeeds in securing its much desired congressional control. Both parties are buoyed up by hope however, and a strenuous battle is be ing waged. In the meantime ft is interesting to cast an eye into the- upper house of coneress. and to note that a Kepubli can majority will undoubtedly continue there for several years to come.

The above resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote at the meeting of the Shawnee county Republican central committee at its meeting in the West Sixth street quarters Satur day night, and was brought forth by the refusal of a certain of the county candidates to pay their assessment for campaign expenses. While no names were mentioned at the meeting, it w-as well understood that E. L. O Neill. candidate for county commissioner for the second district, and S. L. Zim merman, candidate for county clerk, were the delinquent candidates re ferred to, as they have not yet paid their assessment for the alleged rea son that Reese VanSant is chairman of the county committee. There Is a political fight between these can didates and Mr. VanSant that grew out of the old troubles between the machine and insurgent Republicans. The committee at this meeting ap nrnved of the levy made against the county candidates by the executive committee. This quarrel between county candidates and the county committee is likely to bring little profit to either side of the contro versy. The committee also adopted a resolution instructing the executive committee to make arrangement for the Taft meeting here October 3.

FOR YEARS Ills Best Work Was In Field of Entomology. the Credited With Discovering Cinch Bug Remedy. Lawrence, Sept. 21. Ex-Chancellor F. H. Snow died at Delafleld, Sun day morning at S o'clock. This word was received here by Chancellor Strong. Prof. Snow had gone to Wis consin for his health. it- i 1 1 r 'r. ir.u rt m (l Ex-Chancellor F. Snow. Who Died iu Wisconsin. During the past year Dr. Snow's health has been steadily failing, owing to advancing age. Nervous breakdown Is given as the immediate cause of death of the venerable ex-chancellor. Karller In the year he spent some tlm In the Bonner Springs sanitarium ami since then he has been in Michigan and Wisconsin for his health. During the greater part of this time Mrs. Snow and daughter Edith have been constant In attendance to Dr. Snow. With K. V. for Years. Dr. F. H. Snow has been connected with the University of Kansas from the entire period of Its history until the date of his breakdown. He has not only gained a reputation as a Kansas natural scientist, but parts of his work Is aa familiar to scholars in Europe as to Americans. What Dr. Snow has accomplished Is perhaps best summed up by Chancellor Frank Strong. Chancellor Strong said: "Dr. Snow was one of the original founders of the University of Kansas. His death cuts the last link w'h the first year of the Institution. He has come in contact with every one of 0.000 students that have been at the university during his time, hence he has had an opportunity of impressing himself on a large number of educated men and women. W hen He Was Chancellor. "Dr. Snow was a man of high ideals; he was noblest In his personal life; as a scientist he enjoyed a large reputa tion, having derived that distinction in the scientific field before being made chancellor. He was elected chancellor at a very critical time in the history of the Institution, and he Is in a large measure responsible for the growth and development of the university. "He reorganized the institution and really gave it the university caste. The state of Kansas therefore owes him a debt which it can never pay except by further promoting the growth and In fluence of that to which he gave life Professor Kphriam Miller, who was associated with Dr. Snow in his work said: With regard to his work in the university. It was mostly along scien tific lines. Especially In the last twenty-five years, his work was of Immense value to the state and the university. He was always engaged in the kind of work that would bring re sults, not only to the state but to the university and to science In general. Work In Entomology. He discovered some new species of Insect and his name was given to some of them, so his name is known to the scientific world not onlv in the United States but all over the world. He was a man Intensely engaged in Ms work and I think his mind was so occupied with It that it brought on the disease that caused his death. Dr. Snow will be remembered by many Kansas farmers as the discover er of a chinch bug exterminator. It was In the early 90s that Dr. Snow discovered how farmers could rid themselves of the chinch bugs. From all parts of the state the bug were ex pressed to Dr. Snow's laboratory. He Inoculated the bugs with a serum and sent them back to their respective starting places, where they were turn ed loose in the field. It is said that after these inoculated bugs were let at large In a field where the pest was thick it would only be several days be fore all the bugs in the field were killed. Kansas owes much to Francis H. Snow, former chancellor of the t'ni vtrslty of Kansas, who was professor i organic evolution, systematic en tomology and meteorology. He had been connected with the universitv eight days more than forty-two years, and through his activities as a scien tist, during those years, he gave Kan sas a name the world 'round. As a result of his labors he had col lected an exhibit of insects, the larg est of any educational Institution in the United States with the exception of Harvard. It is easily worth $50. 000. It has cost Kansas in ca.h out lay probably $5,000. Dr. Snow discov- Prescriptions FILLED ACCURATELY Red Cross Pharmacy M.

He served for eleven years as chancellor, during which the institu tion made tremendous strides; had conducted a weather observatory, and had taught In the institution. He was the oldest Instructor in point of ser vice in the university. Dr. Robinson Discovered Him. Dr. Snow's connection with Kansas dates back many decades. In the town of Fitchburg, Mass., where his parents uveu, mere usea to can hi wic taiimj home one Dr. Charles Robinson, who afterward became the first srovernor of the state of Kansas.

THINK THEY CAN FLY. Hundreds Write Letters to the Aero Club of America. New York. Sept. One of the results of the prominence attained by the Wright brothers with the aeroplanes has been the vastlv increased mail of the Aero club of America. The club rooms in East Fortv-srcond street have been deluged with letters containing drawings and prnvers for fiAanclal aid. With a unanim ity that is pathetic the writers say: "In my machine lies the only solution of the problem." or words to that effect. A great number of letters are from scientific men and various aeronautic so cieties indicating that the interest in the art hasbeen wonderfully accelerated among thinking men. A prisoner In the peniten tiary at Auburn writes that he can "an swer this riddle of the ages if permitted to go free." ministers who began their appeal for money with Biblical quotations, physicians who acknowledge that they have slightJd medicine for aero-dynamics; tramps from the Platte and seekers after gold In Alaska have all written that the club need investigate no further they havi thu solution. The secretary of the Aero club returnfcj from the south a few days ago and was informed that the mail had increased by leapt and bounds. "Splendid." he said beaming, "new ideas will be worked out. and who knows'.' a new genius may be born any minute." THE DEVIL KILLS HIS MATE. Fierce Family Fight in the Leopards' Cnge at the Zoo. New York. Sept. 21. Nigger, a black female leopard, has been killed by her cagemate. The Devil, after a desperate battle in the lion house of the Bronx menagerie. Hundreds of persons, in cluding women and children, watched the combat. The keepers made vigor ous efforts to separate the fighters, but could do nothing with the enraged animals. For a week or more the couple had not been on good terms and Nigger carefully kept to her corner of the cage, avoiding her angry spouse. Then, when the lion house was crowded with visitors, the female leop ard ambled across the cage to wher' her mate lay and began to scratch her back against the bars. The Devil in stantly resented this by lifting one of his paws and knocking her down. There was no further attempt at friendliness by Nigger. She leaped at him and they rolled over the floor of the cage, clawing and snarling. The clamor aroused the other animals and the roar of the Hons and tigers was soon shaking the building. George Engleholm, one of the keepers, pro cured an iron spike and tried to pry the animals apart. His efforts were of no avail and he was Joined by three other keepers, similarly armed, but their combined force was futile. For nearly twenty minutes the battle continued. Then The Devil by a deft flank movement, sank his fangs Into Nigger's throat and a minute later she fell over dead. CARS AT WELLINGTON. Kansas City Crowd Making Great Run With Only Two Antolsts Shy. Wellington, Kan., Sept. 21. Twenty-nine out of the thirty-one motor cars that started In the first annual endurance race for the Kan sas City Star cup arrived in Welling ton Sunday. Two cars dropped out of the race after leaving Emporia. So far there are 18 perfect scores. The motorists spent the night In Welling ton. Thirty-one cars started from Kansas City and twenty-nine arrived on time at Emporia, four lost points irom otner causes. When Mrs. H d. Kirkland nulled into the open space at the throttle of ner runabout the crowd cheered. She drove the entire distance from Kan sas City without assistance. The car needed no attention, she aid. Twelve miles out or Emporia a delegation of motorists were waiting when the official car arrived at that point. Each of the Emporia cars was nung with banners on wnicn were painted various signs extend ing welcome to the visiting motor ists. In the reception party were G. W. Newman, A. L. Guffler. F. C. New man, J. S. Watson. Marshall Wrarren J. R. Soden, D. W. Morris. E. A Ballweg, Frank Irwin. Dr. T. F. Fon cannon. Frank Foncannon, Peter Newton, Thomas Hurst, Frank Dale C V. Holmes and Louis Halleck. Dr. J. G. Northington was the official checker at this point. One of the first men to greet the motorists upon their arrival was W ll liam Allen White, editor of the Em poria Gazette. "All the hotels cannot take are In vited to my home," said Mr. White. As the first cars dashed into the main street of Emporia a band was playing, flags were flying and the crowd was hanked In solid masses on both sides. A block was reserved for the tourists. No persons except motorists and members of the local reception committee were permitted insiae tne curb lines of this block. The men in the touring partv were entertained at the Elks' clubrooms Saturday night with a reception handshaking and smoker. The women motorists were guests at a woman s club. Sunday was a day of hard going. There was not so much dust, but there was plenty of fine sand, which made the going heavy. At some points there were deep mud holes, into some of which the cars sank to the axles. No bad luck came to anybody but the No. 10 Overland, driven by Mrs, H. G. Kirkland. In trying to avoid a frightened horse in the morning, she went Into the ditch, bending the right nair of the rear axle. With a wheel five degrees out of line, she drove into Newton and then into Wellington without making re pairs. Thus at the night control she was penalized only 20 points for a sprung axle. One of the prettiest views was at Cottonwood Falls. There was a time for a look at the falls, and at men standing waist deep with rod and reel. Apples as big as melons of the smal ler sort, were tossed to the occupants of the cars on the way. Just west of Elmdale a bouquet of alfalfa blossoms and a souvenir pencil were thrust into each car, the donors were Blacksher Bros, of the Clover Cliff ranch. One of the party galloped behind one of the cars for a mil while the car was going at twenty-five miles an hour. Wichita, after having been given the cold shoulder, turned herself. The tourist ran up North Lawrence ave nue to West Douglass, and out of town by way of Seneca. And, shame on Wichita, while everybody was going right along at a fifteen miles pace, do ing nothing to nobody, right there in the road stood the majesty of the law, one copper, with upraised club, maybe they call it baton in Wichita. He stopped everyone and served no tice not to exceed the ten-mile pace under penalty of arrest. That was the only thing from Wichita, not one vol unteer to wave a welcome or goodby. There were no Incidents of excite ment during the day; everybody took the best sides of the worst roads and was glad to get into Wellington. A The Management of the Diseases of Children's Teeth By DR. H. R. PATRICK The pathology and therapeutics of the diseases common to childrens teeth can most easily be presented under three heads. 1. Those diseases incident to the process of teething'. 1 2. Those diseases of the dicidous and soft tissue before the permanent set are erupted. 3. The care of permanent teeth during childhood. Dentition may be defined aa the process of teething; it is the physiological process of supplying the Infant with tteth. The process may be said to begin when the crown of the tooth has formed an-d begins to pass through the bony covering in which it is held. What I want you to be most in terested In is the diseases associated with the process of dentition. While the process of tooth erupting Is physiological it is nearly always associated with disturbances which are pathological. the process by which the tissue over the erupting tooth are forced out of the way is one of resorption under pressure. The teeth cusps act as the Irritant, produces stimuls to the resorption procesr. and consequently the tissue must in themselves be tender and a source of considerable pain. A glance at the tissue will reveal the hypermic condition present. Which as the tooth presses through the gum tissue often becomes in flammatory. The pressure on the filaments must be a source of con siderable pain. The parts become hot, which shown by the infants de sire to bite on something cold. It is doubtless true that the desire to bite things is an effort of the child to re vive pressure irritation, and yet it seems to be a provision of nature by which the gums are forced out of the w-ay of the erupting teeth, and hence the value of the ivory or the silver ring, which can be kept clean, and affords a means by which the infant may aid nature. So long as the pro cess does not exceed the bounds of .a resonable physiological process very little disturbance results, but when from the density of the tissue or other complicating circumstances such as faulty nutrition the normal process Is interforred with, then we often have a train of consequences which may even seriously endanger the life of the infant. H. R. Patrick, 518 Kansas avenue, over Warren M. Crosby's. reception committee of the Commer cial club was on deck, headed by S. W. Andrews, the president, assisted by C. A. Gambrill. George T. Pitts, H. H. Buttrey, Joe Fetters and C. E. Hitch cock, who had- charge or arrange ments. The tourists were entertained at smoker at the Commercial club in the new city building at 7:30. As each car ran into Wellington, it passed up Washington avenue. There a block had been roped oft and at the far end of that block. In front of the Antlers hotel, the checkers had their stand.

CHALLENGES HEARST. Governor Haskell jDemands Tliat He Prove His Charges. Chicago; Sept. 21. 'Governor Has kell of Oklahoma has given out the following letter, which, he said, he had telegraphed to William R. Hearst: "William R. Hearst, care New York American, New York city: "Sir: You are statine- In speeches and press, in substance, that during the year 1899, when Attorney General Frank S. Monett of Ohio, had several cases pending in the supreme court of that state angainst the Standard Oil company, I sought to influence him to dismiss those suits. I have said and now reseat that your statement i.i ab solutely false and that I never had any relations of any kind or character with the Standard Oil company. Our con flicting statements prove nothing. You as a newspaper man may and should desire a reputation for truthfulness: I as a public official demand that those who accuse me stand forth and make their proof. "You know that a suit against you for civil damages or a criminal prose cution for libel means long delay and affords your character of journalism a chance to cover your expense before being called upon to settle. I do not want wour money; I simply desire to expose you to the public as a false ac cuser who has distorted public records and manufactured statements for base political purposes. "For the purpose of forever settling this infamous slander which you are circulating, in your newspapers and on the stump. I now propose that a com mittee of five, or any three of them, composed of the editors of the Spring field (Mass.) Republican, the Chicago Journal, the New York World, the In dianapolis News and the St. Louis Re public, be selected to hear you and me under oath and all other evidence they may desire as to the truth or falslty of your charges at the earliest possible moment and render their decision to the public in writing. Should this committee find your charges sustained. I shall withdraw from all connection with the present presidential cam paign. Should the verdict be against you. as I know It will, there need be no other oenaltv than the public con tempt due every assassin of character. (Signed.) "C. N. HASKELL." STANLEY IVIARPLEDEAD. Man Strnck by a Street Car Never Recovers Consciousness. Stanley Marple. 45 years of age, who was struck by a northbound street car at Gordon street and Kansas avenue Saturday morning, died Sunday after noon at Christ's hospital. No hopes for his recovery were entertained after the first examination by the surgeons, who found, beside severe injuries about the head, internal Injuries of the worst kind. Marple never recovered consciousness after being struck by the car.. An inquest has been ordered by Cor oner Keith, to be held at Willetts' un dertaking establishment in North To peka today.

Governor Hoke Smith has signed the convict lease bill, which hereafter prohibits the leasing of felons except by the consent of the governor and prison commission. CAR CREW BLAMELESS. Coroner s Jury Brings in Verdict In Stanley Marplc Case. In the coroner's inquest held today to investigate the death of Stanley Marple, who died as the result of be ng struck by a street car. the jury re lieved the car crew from any blame. However, It took the jury nearly an hour to arrive at this conclusion, on account of conflicting evidence. John Caldwell, motorman, and C. C. Millard, conductor of the car which struck Marple, both swore that the motorman made every possible efTort to prevent the accident, and that he rang his gong before striking the vic tim. The motorman said that he re versed his current, and stopped the car In a very short distance, but not quick enough to prevent the car from strik ing Marple. Another witness, who stood near the scene of the accident, said he heard a heavy jar from the car which he thought was caused by run ning over Marple, but found later was the sound caused by the reversal of the current in an attempt to ston the car. The damaging witnesses were Fred Morns, grocer, who was but a short distance away, in his store. He said that when he went out, he asked th motorman. "Why didn't you sound your gong?" and that the motorman replied. "I couldn't it was stuck.' Nate Marple, a cousin of the dead man, and Charles Straus another Wltnca corroborated Morns"' statement as to the question and reply. The motorman stoutly denied making any such as sertion. and added that the gong was In excellent condition. It was ex plained later by street car experts thai to use every effort in stopping the car, it was necessary for the motorman to take his foot from the gong to manlpu. late the brake mechanism. The motor- man and several other witnesses test! fled that he had shouted "look out" at Marple. The difference In testimony -was be ing discussed outside the undertaking establishment while the jury was out and a ear passed, sounding its gong. Superintendent Hixon, who was talk Ing to Coroner Kieth, said: Walk over to that buncn, ana ask them if that car sounded a bell." Dr. Keith approached the party, and asked the question. "No, it did not." said one or the crowd, and the others agreed with him. "We were talking about that feature of the case when this car passed." "That is the trouble with evidence about sounding of a car gong." said Hixon. "Three of us, who were watch ing and exDecting it. heard that car sound six strokes of the bell, not 20 feet from the front of this building Those men. who were discussing tho same thine, but not listening for a bell would have sworn on the stand tnat no bell sounded. Street car bells are too common to attract notice. Should the fire department make a run, under run noise down this street every seven minutes, it would cease to attract at tention in less than a month." HIS BODY CLAIMED.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1908. PUTS FOOT DOWN No Politico Will Be Discussed at Commercial Congress. President Case of Kansas Re Tlses Programme. AT SAN FRANCISCO. Will Be Held October Six to Fourteen. Many Interesting Subjects Be Discussed. to Fan Francisco, Sept. 21. Every state In the Union is vitally interested in the Transmississippi Commercial congress, which Is to be held here October 6 to 14. The object of this commercial congress is along the line of the meeting held last spring at the direction of President Roosevelt for all the governors of the various states. While this Is, strictly speaking, a western movement, every state is to bf represented. It is the free forum Mr. J. B, Case, President of the of the western states. Each state Is! entitled to representation as follows: The governor of each state and ter ritory may appoint ten delegates to represent the state. The mayor of each city one delegate and one addi tional delegate for each 6,000 inhabit ants, provided, however, that no city shall have more than ten delegates. Each county may appoint one delegate through its executive officer. Each business organization one delegate and one additional delegate for every fifty members, provided, however, that no such business organization shall have more than ten delegates. The meeting this year will be of ex ceptional interest because of the sub jects before the body to be discussed. These Include "Irrigation and Drain age," "River and Harbor Improve ments." "Statehood." "Parcels Post and Postal Banks," Transpacific Trade," "Closer Relations with the Latin Republics." "Public Ownership of Utilities," "Panama and the Canal," "Railway Interstate Commerce" and other equally Important subjects. A special committee has been ap pointed to thrash out the material dealing with the conservation of nat ural resources. Another committee deals with the inland waterways. The one topic absolute prohibited is politi cal questions. This being election year It was feared that politics might enter into thl3 to a considerable extent and the president. J. B. Case, has definitely put his foot down on any such move ment.

McConnell of Idaho. E. O. Standard of Mississippi, John Henry Smith of Utah and other equal ly prominent men.

Han Created Considerable Fric tion in Police Department. ANOTHER ONE LET OUT Officer Duncan Latest to Feel Official Axe, An Important Witness in the Jenkins Case. The Investigation of Maurice Jenken. for the past 18 years an officer and sergeant on the local police force, and suspended from service August 22 by Chief Eaton and later discharged by Acting Mayor Horn, will come up be fore the council in special session to night and the charges thoroughly weigned and gone through. The charges, counter-charges and de- Dial in this case do not make nice read ing. Indeed, the details are not fit to Irint. Briefly, ex-Sergeant Jenkins was dis charged from service on the charge of conduct unbecoming an -officer and a gentleman. It is alleged that on the night of August 21, or the early morn ing of August 22, he entered the wom en's quarters of the city prison and made Improper advances to two ne greases detained there. According to the affidavits of these women Jenkens' conduct in their quarters that night was unspeakable, and they alleged fur ther that he was partly intoxicated at least, if not drunken. The charges against Jenkens were first preferred by Mrs. Thorpe, the po lice matron, and not by Chief Eaton, as generally supposed. Mrs. Thorpe made the following statement to the State Journal reporter this morning: "On the day of August 22, one of these negro women confined in the cell of the women's ward of the city prison, Anna Ellis, by name, and a Topeka police character, told me she had something important to tell me and I brought her to my office and she told me I terrible story of Sergeant Jenkens' conduct in the women's ward the nieht before in which she and Mary Bayley. the other prisoner, were the victims. Now I have heard charges made by this class of women against officers before and pay little attention to them, and some of them have referred to Sergeant Jen kens, too, but in this case I could not overlook the matter, so after a half hour or thought I called Chief Eaton to my office and laid the matter before him. He appeared to be shocked and astounded at the story, and called 'Mr. jenkens up to my office for an investi gation. Mr. Howard, of the council'j police committee, was also present. Mr. Jenkens admitted enough at this inves tigation to make his offense a misde meanor at least.- He said he had gone to the women's ward that night and had acted in a familiar manner with these two women, and he also admit ted that, he had taken a drink that ev ening and had given each of the wo men some money. The Bayley woman was a stranger here, coming to this city from Atchison, and she was called upon to identify Jenkens as the man in their apartments that night. She identified Mr. Jenkens and told her story with tears running down her cheeks and it impressed me in spite of the wom an's character. Mr. Jenkens had the jailer s bunch of keys and they would give him access to the woman's de partment at any time. I have served on the police department of the city with Mr. Jenkens, off and on, for 16 years and had nothing in the worid against him personally except this matter of entering the women's ward. The charge is not the result of spite work at all. Chief Eaton told me that he especially hated to suspend Jen kens at this time as the latter was an excellent officer and was badly needed for state fair work. The chief told Jenkens in my presence that he would have to suspend him on his own admls sions alone, even if the awful story of the women was not true in the whole. Mayor Green said today: "I have known Maurice Jenkens for a great many years and I shall see to It that he has a fair trial and every chance in the world to clear himself of this ter rible charge. However, I shall not let my long friendship with him influence-" me in his favor, but shall allow the case to be decided In accordance with the evidence. I have always regarded him as a good officer and was sur i prised and pained at this charge to any of the four corners of this chart be our next president."

Journal. against him: 'I was out of the city at the time the matter came up and have only the accounts of the affair as told me by Chief Baton, Mr. Horn and Mr. Jenkens. I understand that many of the older officers on the force have It in for Chief Eaton for various causes I wish to say in this connection that it appears to me that the main cause for this action is the fact that the chief enforces a very strict discipline in the department. Now he is acting under my direct orders in this matter of discipline. I believe that the police department, which is semimilitary in Its nature, should be subject to seml miliary discipline. The more thorough and business like the methods em ployed the better, and the discipline should be rigid. I may be egotistical. but I cannot help but believe that we have the best police department at this time in point of effective and efficient service that we have ever had. To peka had more police on the pay roll when it was a city of 25,000 than it has today with nearly 60,000 population. I regard Chief Eaton as a good officer, efficient, and honest, and clean In his private and public life." In justice to ex-Sergeant Jenkens it should be stated that during his eight een years' service on' the force he has always borne the character of a most excellent officer and enjoyed a good reputation as a private citizen. His police record is something to be proud of. The old timers still tell ol nis cool ness and bravery in discharge of peril ous duty, one occasion In particular when he arrested aJdesperate, charac ter with r his-' .bare iands after -being shot in the shoulder standing out in relief. He has a. -trosf of warm per sonal friends among the- best and .most prominent men fpf ximr city who still believe firmly in his Innocence of this charge brought against" him by negro street walkers. Nearly all the old ana the very best men on the police force stand by- Jenkens in this matter and refuse to believe the charge against him. Said one of these officers, a man without reproach in his private life: have known Maurice Jenkens for many years and worked with him on the force and made trips to JK.ansas uity with him. and I have always regarded him as a clean man, even better than the average citiien in his talk and acts. I do not believe these charges against him." Patrolman Duncan, who was dis charged from the force Saturday with out given cause, also stands Dy Jen kens in this matter and declares that he saw him the night in question sev eral times and talked with him. and that he was not under the influence of liquor. Duncan said: "I believe I was dis charged solely because it was known that my evidence in the investigation to come off tonight would be favorable to Jenkins. Neither Chief Eaton or Mayor Green gave any cause today for the discharge of Duncan. It is unfortunate that there should be a faction in the police force, and it is hard to believe the truth of such unspeakable charges against an old and respected citizen and official. They do not appear reasonaole, and the character of the witnesses against him is very bad. On the other hand, if the charges are true, there was nothing to do but discharge the officer in ques tion. Chief Eaton has, according to the best evidence at hand, made a srood chief of police on the whole. And while making mistakes from inexperi ence, it can not be denied that he is energetic and honest in discharge of his duty ana employs aiscinime and businesslike methods at all times. He has some fine men on his force and it Is a pity that he can not get along with them. The chief has made many enemies since taking- his oath of office and has been accused of being dis arrepable and overbearing in discharging- the duties of his office. It is al leged that he is incompetent and lacks tact and that he has exceeded his powers in some cases and butted into the affairs of other officers over whom he had no Jurisdiction. It seems that Jenkens is more popular In police cir cles and has more, friends than the chief. But up to this time there is no direct evidence at hand to show that W. R. Eaton ha not always been a hard working, painstaking, honest offi cial, and that he has accomplished ef fective work in the enforcement of the prohlbitorv law and riddins; the city of crime and criminals. His methods and discipline have accomplished marked results this year. The council will thrash the whole affair out tonight and it Is hoped will settle it for good. It la reported that serious charges will be made against Eaton as well Jenkins, and that the latter has friends on the council who will stand by him. The vlleness of the charsres. the pood record and charac ter of the accused and the bad char acter of the witnesses for the prosecu tion all go to -make the trial tonight one of Interest to the city at large. It has also been reported that all police officers who testifv favorably to Jenkins tonight will be discharged. It Is to be honed that there is no foundation for this rumor. Horse Show t St. Joe.

Fourteen divorce cases were on the docket In the district court this morn inK when the bailiff opened court for the day. Attorney General Fred S. Jackson is In Kansas City today taking deposi tions in the International Harvester trust case. Owing t improvements which are being madv ji the Masonic building the Y. W. CV is sharing In the rooms of the MaoV bodies. Two ugly holes have been torn in the Kansas avenue pavement between Eighth and Sixth avenue. Leak in the water pipes is the cause. One professor at Washburn has more freshmen In his classes than there were freshmen in college last year. And still the registration Is going on. A special meeting of the council is called for this evening when the charges made by Chief of Police Eaton against Sergeant Jenkins will be In vestigated. Rev. John A. Bright, pastor of the Lutheran church at Campus, has re signed on account of ill health and with his family will move to Topeka about the 1st of November. The row which has been brewing at the polioe station for some time threatens to break out in a number of places .and a general shaking up in the force is likely to be the result. Mrs. N. H. Baldwin, formerly em ployed as traveling saleswoman by the Prouty-Bowler Soap Co., has returned from a four months' sojourn in Gold field. Nev., and Is registered at the National. "There is this to be said for the cornetist with the Salvation Army," said a merchant who has a store near the corner of Sixth and Kansas avenue, "you cannot hear the singers while he is playing." Mrs. Charles B. Thomas who spent last week in Omaha assisting in a "tag day" affair for the Provident Associa tion, has returned to her home and re- i S .fi 111111 i The only bigh-claa Baking Powder told at moderate price. ports that the proceeds of the day's work in the Nebraska city amounted to S7.30O.

Gerald Benton, the "Washburn stu dent who was bitten by a mad dog two weeks ago and who was taken to the Pasteur Institute at Chicago by his father for treatment, returned Sunday and is in perfect health. He says that he really enjoyed the Chicago trip. The center columns, the ceilings and part of the walls have received the finishing touches in the postofflce and the Inside will present a cleaner appearance when the regular cus tomers come to get their mail to morrow. The brick work on the Palace Clothing Co., building between Seventh and Eighth on Kansas ave nue has been finished and the scaffording which has been such an inconvenience to passersby has been removed. According to the schedule the first football game of the season will be played next Sunday afternoon between Washburn and Topeka High school. The managers, however, have inform ed the papers that it will be Saturday afternoon. "Now that there is no longer any doubt that the White Sox will win the pennant, it seems to me that some of the enthusiastic fans who have not subscribed to the $1,000 pennant fund should donate," suggested one whose name is on the list. Atchison Globe: A traveling man, whose home is in Topeka, was in Atchi son this morning, and wanted to bet that Topeka will go Democratic in the next election. Topeka Republicans have been cutting up so much for the last few years that such a thing might happen. Mrs. L. R. Bagby had an un fortunate experience at the Aurora moving picture show on Kansas ave nue Saturday night by which she lost a handsome new baby cab and has since found no trace of It. She left the cab out in the lobby of the show house about 8 o'clock and took the baby in to see the pictures. The cab was gone when she went out and there was no other buggy in the lobby. The missing buggy was a rather unusual one, being nickel plated all over, handles and all, with the top of brown leather. Mr. Bagby is a, linotype operator at the office of the Mall and Breeze. While carrying a special delivery letter on a motor cycle a special car rier in the employ of the postofflce de partment met with an accident at the corner of Kansas avenue and Eighth street yesterday which almost cost him his life. He was going at the usual high rate of speed that all motor cycle riders go in Topeka and a chain slip ped from the cogs on his machine. There was a mixup of chain, bicycle and letter carrier for awhile, but the rider landed safely in the middle of the car tracks. He picked up his hat, covered up his skinned elbows and sneaking down the alley near the transfer station refused to give his name, address or any of jsst history. SEES HILLAND PARKER. Bryan Visits Two of Xew York's Most Prominent Democrats. Albany, N. T., Sept 21.-Conferences bearing on the political situation, both national and state, were held Sunday by William J. Bryan, with Judge Alton B. Parker in Esdpus and with ex-Senator David B. Hill at Wolfert's Roost, near this city. These were preceded by a long consultation in the early morning between Mr. Bryan and the xemocratic national chairman, Nor man E. Mack, in New York city. When the train arrived in Pough keepsie Judge Parker was at the sta tion to meet his dintinguished guest. The only member of the candidate's party to accompany him was ex-Governor Jennings of Florida, a member of the national committee. The rest of the party went to Albany. Mr. Hill, who was at the station when Mr. Bryan arrived here from Esopus, greeted his guest very warmly, while the crowd cheered. Barry Murphy, Lieutenant Governor Chanler's secre tary, also was on hand. The drive to Mr. Hill's home was made by Mr Bryan and his host only. At Wolfert's Roost awaiting them was Judge D Cady Herrlck of this city and the three' while at dinner, discussed the business which brought them together. Not a word by the participants in the several conferences was disclosed re garding the subjects talked of or the conclusions reached, but it was ascer tained from one in a position to know that all the conferences had to do with the campaign In New York state. The fact that Mr. Bryan notified the mem bers of his party immediately upon his arrival here that he would leave for Buffalo at 3:15 o'clock this morning in stead of 7:30 o'clock, as planned, would indicate that important developments had taken place. All that Mr. Bryan would say con cerning the day's happenings was that he took a long motor car ride with Judge Parker, and that he had dined with Senator Hill. Arkansas C4ty S. Wlnfield 2.

Condemn the Men Who Used Their Names. J. G. Johnson Takes a Rosy Tiew of Democratic Campaign. Six of the men whom E. S. Water bury is trying to have nominated on the Hearst Independent ticket in Kansas, for various state offices, have signed a communication refusing to accept the nominations, even though Mr. Waterbury may be able to get the necessary 2,500 signatures on his petitions. The six men who have withdrawn from the "race" are: Price Sturgeon, for presidential elector. John S. Beecher, for lieutenant gov ernor. Jas. H. Stevenson, for secretary of state. Thaddeus Knox, for state treasurer. Samuel Talley, for superintendent of education. A. W. McVey, railroad commis sioner. The withdrawal of these six men, all of whom, it appears, live in Graham county, Kansas, leaves such a gaping hole in Mr. Waterbury's proposed ticket that it may put a quietus on the Hearst movement in Kansas. Each of the six men, with the ex ception of J. H. Stevsnson, has an nounced that he will support the Democratic ticket. Stevenson is a Republican. All six of the men were at one time in the Populist party. Just what MrJ Waterbury will do now is not known. He may try to have the names of those of his "nominees" who have not withdrawn placed on the ticket His petitions must be filed with the secretary of state by Wednesday. Five of the names selected were from Hill City where the men have lived for years and they protest that Inasmuch as wrong postofflce ad dresses were given in nearly every in stance that malicious mischief was intended. At any rate they insist that their names were placed on the ticket without authority and must be withdrawn immediately. The following letter signed by six of the nominees for places on the Independent ticket was received today and is self explanatory: "In the issue of the Topeka State Journal of September 7, we find our several names placed on the petition for nomination on the state ticket of the Independent Hearst .league for these offices: Price Sturgeon, presidential elector, Palco (he is now a resident of Graham county); John S. Beecher, lieu tenant governor, Grada, (whose post office has been Hill City for years); James H. Stevenson, secretary of state, Hill City; Thaddus Knox, state treas urer; Bogue, (whose postofflce has been Hill City; Thaddeus Knox, state treas state superintendent of public instruc tion, Happy, (this postofflce has been discontinued for nearly two years and Mr. Talley's postofflce has been Hill City ever since he has lived in the county); A. W. McVey, railroad com missioner, Wa-Keeney (Mr. McVey's postofflce until recently was also Hill City). "We do not approve of the movement, and condemn the leaders in the state for placing our names on the ticket of a party which has no recognized politr cal state organization. We believe that the suggestion of our names was wil ful and malicious, as the postofflce ad dresses of at least five of us is, and has been Hill City for years. "We have been Populists in the past and are proud of it. We. (except Mr. Stevenson) intend to vote for Mr. Bryan and Mr. Botkin this fall and we emphatically condemn the parties and the motives which prompted the sug gestion of our names as we believe that it was done to injure the cause of the Democratic party, especially in Gra ham county. Had we been consulted we would not have allowed our names to be used In connection with the new movement.' (Signed) "J. H. STEVENSON. "THADDEUS KNOX. "PRICE STURGEON. "JOHN S. BEECHER. "SAMUEL TALLEY. "A. W. M'VEY." J. G. Johnson, of Peabody, former Democratic national committeeman from Kansas, was in Topeka Sunday on his way home from Chicago, where he has been helping the national com mittee since August 1. Mr. Johnson is confident of Democratic success. Speaking of the situation in Kansas, Mr. Johnson says: "Guaranty of bank deposits is raDidlv becoming the dominant issue. We have more calls for light on that sublect than on any other. We have added to our large assortment a half million copies of the aoie aeiense or the Democratic view by Governor Hoch of our state. I see that the governor Insists that it is really a Re nubllcan issue, nurlolned by Mr. Bryan. He seems to forget that fifteen years ago it was urgea on a Republican legislature in Kansas by Populists, and only received one Re publican vote, and that Mr. Bryan proposed It in congress many years ago, and that even a Republican gov ernor in Kansas was not impressed with the issua until after a Demo cratic legislature in Oklahoma had adopted it, and that this same Re publican governor invited the Demo cratic governor of Oklahoma to come to Topeka to urge its adoption upon an -unwilling Republican legislature. "Our national committee feels absolutely sure that Kansas will give its electoral vote to Mr. Bryan. The tremendous change in political senti ment in the state is shown by the alarm of the Republicans who are hurrying their biggest guns into Kan sas, including their presidential can didate, and that in the face of a Re publican plurality of 126,000 four years ago. "We are confident also that the splendid state ticket, headed by Mr. Botkin, will be successful and that we will have a legislature that will give the people some legislative re forms and send Hugh Farrelly to the United States senate. This is a Democratic year." When Governor Hoch was informed that the Democrats would use his statements In favo- -of guaranty of bank deposits .as a campaign docu ment, he said: "Of course I can't help it if the Democrats circulate Kansas Re publican doctrine. In fact it may help to get the people of the country acquainted with a Kansas Republican idea which Bryan has stolen and is trying to make a paramount issue." The Democratic state central com mittee will have ten speakers out over the state this week, four of whom will be from outside the state. The out siders who will take part in this week's campaign are George F. Williams of Massachusetts, James B. Weaver of Iowa, the old time Populist: Congress man H. T. Rainey of Illinois and Roy C.

Taft at Kansas City, Kan., on the morning of Oct. 6. Taft will speak for 30 minutes at Huron park. W. R. Stubbs was in Kansas City yesterday, and in an interview at the Union depot said: "The election will be the same in November as if it were today. Kansas will be In the Republi can column, strong. There is really no fight in the state as far as Taft is concerned, and he will carry the state by a big majority." It has been figured out that four teen of the Republican nominees for the state senate are business men, seven are lawyers, seven are bankers, eight are farmers, two are doctors and two are newspaper men. The way they divide up as as follows: Business men Myers, Stilllngs, Gunn, Porter, Bender, Overfield, Trav is, Fagerberg, Brown, Avery, Hostrop, Hunter, Stewart and Carey. Lawyers Brewster.

OX THE WROXG TRACK. decided that the city of Topeka has no control whatever over the Kansas river. This river has been declared a navigable stream by the government and as a result the control of the river is in the hands of the state and the city can do nothing. If the river is being obstructed as the subscriber says, it is up to the state of Kansas to stop the matter. However, the obstruction itself is a puzzle. A State Journal reporter and the councllmen from North Topeka have walked up and down the river and nothing out of the ordinary could be found. The first puzzle is where is the obstruction and the second what can be done about it? KERN IN MARYLAND. Democrat Candidate Is Combining Business With Politics.
