MAKES SOME II E 31 AUKS FarotJ the Guarantee of posits by State Law. De- Hare Effect of Stopping All Rons ou Banks. While the politicians were howling bout the "panic" the information is given out from the office of Bank Commissioner John Royce that the deposits in the state banks of Kansas have reached 83 million of dollars, the highest mark in the whole history of. the state. National bank deposits in Kansas always run about the same as state banks, which would make the total money on deposit in Kansas about 1170.000,000. Bank Commissioner Royce. in Riv ing out this wonderful statement, takes occasion to make an argument in behalf of the guaranty of bank de posits, not on the ground that Kan sas banks are unsafe, but on the ground that such a law would insure confidence, encourage deposits, and stop all danger of "runs." Mr. Royce says: The statement which goes out from this office today shows the financial condition of the state banks of Kan ras at the close of business on Septem ber 1st, In comparison with their con dition at the date of the last call, on June 13th, and in many respects is the most remarkable statement ever Issued by the banking department of Kansas. This statement shows that within ten months from the stringency in the money market, caused by the wild speculations of Wall street brokers, sometimes Incorrectly dignified by the name of "panic," not oniy a return of the full amount of the deposits which were withdrawn by the more timid ones at vhat time, but that the de posits are higher now than were ever known in the history of the state. Deposits In our state hanks have in creased during the eighty days be tween the calls on June 13th and September 1st at the rate of one hun dred thousand per day. making a net Increase of eight million dollars for the period of less than three months. An equally large Increase has prob ably been made In the national banks of this state. This wonderful increase of deposits and the exceedingly healthy condition of our state banks aa shown by this statement. Indicates very clearly that people are not losing confidence in the security of their deposits by the agita tion of the question of public guaranty of deposits. At a time like this, when there is so much talk of the necessity for guaranteeing deposits In banks, it is perhaps wise that those who have surplus money to deposit in banks be made as well acquainted with the am ple protection which they now nave as possible. To secure the IS3.338.563.09 of deposits in our state banks on Septem ber 1st, the banks have of unquestion able assets 67.542,297.13; in addition to this they have In actual cash on hand 43 cents for every dollar which they have on deposit or $35,520,453.32. making a total of $103,062,750.65. Nor is this all, but In addition there is a stockholders' liability of $13,562,850, which when added to the total assests of the banks makes nearly two dollars of security for every dollar of deposit liability. The assets of these banks which stand as security for the payment of deposits Is carefully inspected, at least four times each year by the board of di rectors of the various banks and twice each year by the examining deputies of this department, so that I have no hesitancy in saying that every dollar of deposited money In the Kansas banks is as safe today as though each depositor had a government bond be hind his deposit of Its full value. The orator who seeks to gain advantage for bis party in the heat of a political cam- l me prfuciii uuie, uy me statement that It will be necessary for a ma jority of the votes to be cast for hl-s iarty In order that their bank deposit-! will be made secure, even though such orator be a candidate for the presi dency, makes a statement which the facts do not warrant. Deposits are se cure now and the safe security which the depositor has will not be disturbed by the present election whatever may be the result. I have for mor than three years been an earnest advocate of the pas sage of a law providing for the gathering of a fund to be placed in the hands of the state treasurer, to guarantee the prompi. and immediate j.avm-nt of the depositors in all closed banks in this state. The position Which I have taken is not in response to the demand of depositors, nor to Increase the security which they now have, but in my opinion such a fund, neld by the state treasurer and ad ministered by thf banking depart ment, will so inspire those who do not now deposit their money in banks with confidence that all of the surplus money of the country will be de-1 posited In the banks and by them put In circulation, thus increasing the cir culation medium of the country to the great advantage of the business in terests of all the people. All people will not deposit their money in banks, even when they now that their jecurlty is ample, for they argue that their money might be indefinitely with held by the clolng of the bank, but If such people could know that there was a ready fund in the hands of trsaenr.r nnd that tVi.-a the vn is wan a state law requiring the immediate .pavment of all deposits In a closed U rk. I confidently believe that the hoarding of money would stop en tirely, and all money come out of hid ing and perform the function for which it was created. The expense of the creation of such a fund would be verv small on the banks whose ftockhblders would receive a benefit that would more than compensate them for such small expense. Such a law. In my opinion, would atop runs upon banks for the reason that the depositor would feel as secure la time of money stringency as in he FRIDAY EVENING. most prosperous times and would not call upon the bank for his money when the trouble is on. knowing that he would receive it from the treasurer when the bank's doors are closed. A fear is expressed by some that such a provision would encourage unsafe banking and would require the safe and conservative banker to become respon sible for the losses of the unsafe and wreckers. This, I think, is a fear not well founded, for I believe such a law. when in operation, would not only tend to discourage, but would absolutely make speculative and unsound banking impossible and raise the standard of banking in our state. I have never favored a compulsory law on this subject for either the state or the nation, not so much on account of its constitutionality as because I do not believe any bank should be permit ted to contribute to such a fund and have its deposits guaranteed until it has made its application to come un der such a law and can show in such application and by a careful examina tion that there are no violations of law In such bank and that all of its assets are good beyond question, and the law should empower the bank commission er with authority to recall the permit to so participate or any nank mat would violate any section of the bank ing law after it had been so admit ted. Both political parties having de clared for such a law in this state, the people will demand such a measure from the legislature that will meet in this city next winter .and believing that the bankers should be counseled In the preparation of such a law, I have decided to call a meeting of the state bankers to meet soon after the election to take such action as may seem right and proper.

Senator Goro Says It Is Sweeping the Country. Ogden. Utah, Oct. 2. "I believe that Bryan and Kern will be elected. There Is a Bryan wave sweeping over the country from one end to the other, and I do not believe that it can be stopped." The above remarks were delivered by United States Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma, who spoke here last night to an audience at the four counties fair grounds. When asked for his views regarding the charges brought against Gover nor Haskell, former treasurer of the Democratic national campaign, the senator said: "That is a subject of which I am not informed except from news paper reports, which have been read i to me. Governor Haskell Is a very popular man in our state and I have I no doubt that he will be able to clear; himself of any charges reflecting on his character that may have been brought against him." CHEAP COMMCN LIAR. Taft Calls Him Who Misrepresents the Candidate. Table Rock, Neb., Oct. 2. Judge Wil liam H. Taft used this strong language here in his labor speech: "Now some ordinary cheap common liar has devoted himself to the business of running around the country and saying that I am in favor of paying a laboring man a dollar a day and that I have said that that is enough. I was at the head of the Panama canal for four years and we pay steam shovel men down there $250 a month. As I figure that out that makes a little more than one dollar a day. Anybody that says I ever made that remark is a liar and the man who be'leves him is h fool, for why under heaven I should say that I can not understand or wha: conne.-tion or under what circum stances." VERGE OF STARVATION. Has Been Reached by 10.000 Stiiool Children In Chicago. Chicago. Oct. 2. Ten thousand school children in Chicago are insuffi ciently nourished, some live constant ly on the verge of starvation and many are not sufficiently clad to keep them In a healthy condition according to a report made to the board of educa tion. Specific instances of poverty, noted in a house-to-house inspection, are given in the report, which is re garded as reflecting a social condition in Chicago. Many parents were found to sleep so late that their children went to schooi without breakfast. In one house where the father was out of work and the mother sick, five chil dren were found' to have lived three days on dry bread ard tea. K. V. and St. Marys Oct. 3. Lawrence. Oct. 2. The second foot ball game of th season will be played Saturday on McCook field between the 'varsity eleven and the team representing St. Marys college. This will be a fast and interesting game and will give a good line on the probable strength of the Kansas team for the season.

Boom of Cannon and Cheers Mingled. Great Water Parade Is Schedul ed for Tc morrow. Manila, Oct. 2. The Atlantic bat tleship fleet steamed slowly into Ma nila bay this afternoon and sailing majestically across the battlefield where Dewey and his men fought their historic fight with the Spanish fleet ten years ago, dropped anchor off the city. The fleet cleared the south channel shortly after noon and sailed up the center of the bay with dozens of launches and steamers sailing proudly aiong oesiae the monsters of the navy, sounding a discordant welcome with whistles, cheers and every other noise making device that could be con trived. The. ships presented a mag nificent appearance as thev moved slowly along and the sight of the long line evoked the wildest enthusiasm and admiration of the thousands that crowded every point of vantage. As the Connecticut led the line past Corregidor, the garrison there fired the admiral's salute. The passage of the channel was made In single col umn, but as soon as the last ship In the long line was safely through signals were hoisted for the double column formation and in this manner the ships steamed up the bay two abreast. The anchorage was reached at 3 o'clock and all along the shore line the crowds continued to Increase even after the last vessel had come to rest. As the ships anchored General Wes ton, military commander In this city, sent a wireless message conveying the greetings of himself, his officers and the men of the army to Admiral Sperry and his men. Admiral Sperry replied thanking him for his kind wel come. Governor General Smith witnessed the arrival of the fleet from his launch, where he entertained a large party of officials. He will probably pay his official visit to the Connecticut tomorrow morning. when Manila's welcome to the sailors will be tendered in the form of a great water parade. Afraid of the Tankers. 'Amoy, China, Oct. 2. Local agita tors have been circulating- a report to the "effect that the American battle ship fleet, which will visit this port the end of October, purposes to seize Amoy as a base of operations in a forthcoming war against Japan. The people became alarmed and began leaving the city. Then, to prevent a general exodus of the population the municipal authorities issued a pro-! clamation forbidding people going to the interior to take heavy baggage with them. Two of the agitators have been arrested and punished with se vere whippings. They were given 1, 500 blows each. CONDITION'S IMPROVED. Admiral Sperry Says Efficiency of the Fleet Has Increased. Manila. Oct. 2. Fresh from an en thusiastic welcome In Australian ports and with their cruise around the world two-thirds accomplished, the sixteen battleships of the American fleet, which started from Hampton Roads last December, are anchored In double column tonight off the break water close to the Luneta, whence a splendid view of the warships was ob tainable today. During the late afternoon and early evening after the fleet had come to anchor thousands of residents of the islands crowded every available spot commanding a view of the anchorage and the general air of expectancy and excitement expressed the eager Inter est that has attended the fleet's com ing. Soon after anchoring, the rear ad mirals commanding the divisions and the captains of the fifteen vessels as sembled on board the flagship Con necticut to pay their regards to Rear Admiral Sperry- The only salute marking the arrival of the fleet was fired in honor of Rear Admiral G. B. Harber, commanding the third division of the Pacific fleet, as he went over to the Connecticut to greet Admiral Sperry. Following a conference of some length It was announced that or ders had been Issued directing that nothing be taken on board from the shore pending further consideration of the epidemic of cholera In Manila. Shore leave will be granted the offi cers providing they return to ship by 10 p. m. A special permit must be secured to allow their remaining over night and. careful Instructions were is sued governing their conduct while ashore In order to guard against the remotest danger of bringing the con tagion aboard the vessels of the fleet. In discussing the long cruise from San Francisco with the correspondents who boarded the Connecticut this evening. Rear Admiral Sperr- declared that since the warships, had been thrown upon their own resources without the convenience and support of a navy yard, the efficiency of the ships had been greatly increased. This, he said, was particularly true of the engineering department, but the sym metrical development of the entire fleet had steadily Increased with the repetition of drills and with the addi tional experience of handling the ships under conditions of all kinds. The ad miral, reviewing that portion of the cruise since leaving San Francisco, ex pressed himself as well satisfied with the general results attained from the standpoints of discipline, seamanship and adaptability to circumstances. Crowds on the Luiieta. Thousands of persons tonight, throng ed the Luneta or public square, which was brilliantly illuminated. A band concert with a spirited pro gramme and selections by the bugle corps of the Ninth cavalry were feat ures of the entertainment provided for the crowds. From the harbor the long line of lights, marking the berths of the warships, twinkled response to tha blaze of electrical illumination on shore and aa it grew later, the bustle and hum of clattering crowds settled Into i TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCTOBER 2,1908. the stillness of the tronleal night. There were no- exchanges of formal calls with the shore this evening. After tne water parade ia the morning. In which all Manila will participate If t surncient number of vessels can be found. Governor General Smith will call upon Admiral Sperry who will later land and return the call, also pay ing his respects to Major General Weston, commanding the- troops sta tioned In Manila. Latest reports show that the cholera In this city is diminishing rapidly. It Is expected that the city will be clean In a few days. The fleet will sail for Japan on the evening of October 9. Voyage Prom Australia. The voyage of the fleet from Aus tralia to this port- was without special incident. All the battleships with the exception of the battleship Connecti cut left Albany on the evening of Sep tember 18. The flagship was delayed by coaling, but sailed on the morning of September 19, and overtook the rest of the fleet the next morning. The ships passed Fremantle at noon on September 20. several miles distant from the shore. A -number- of large steamers and many .small craft crowd ed with enthusiastic people witnessed the spectacle as the fleet passed in line of squadrons presenting a fine appear ance. The delay In leaving Albany was due to the tardy appearance' of the char tered colliers. The fleet experienced difficulty through the nonarrival or late arrival of chartered colliers at Auckland as well as at Albany. Six were expected at Auckland, but only three arrived. Sixteen tons, of coal were purchased In Australia so that the fleet might reach Albany without danger of running short of fuel. At Albany the colliers arrived late and two were on the overdue list. In con sequence the fleet was delayed for 36 hours and even then did not fill the bunkers completely but by the exercise of great economy and excellent servic on the part of engineers arrived only one day late at Manila. This, the officer declare shows the necessity of a navy owning Us own colliers as merchant colliers are us usally under foreign flags, uhdepend able in peace and much more so in war. The cruise from Albany to Manila was made under perfect mill pond con ditions, the sea being calm and pleas ant after leaving Java. Officers in Trouble. Lieutenant Frank Taylor Evans of the battleship Louisiana and Lieuten ant Charles Burt of the battleship Georgia will be tried before a special court martial board which will assem ble on the battleship Wisconsin Octo ber 6. The charge against Lieutenant Evans are being absent from his sta tion while acting as chief of the deck,- using profane and disrespectful lang uage to a. superior officer and intoxica tion. The charges against Lieutenant Burt are for "conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman." Rear Admiral Seton Schroeder of The battleship Wis consin, will act as president of the court. Midshipmen Richard Bernard of the bettlesnip Louisiana wan tried before- oturt martial board at Albany. Australiand sentence was dismissal from the service. Bernard was found guilty of being under the Influence of liquor while n parade in Melbourne. Midshipman Edward .H. Connor,- of the battleship Minnesota, wiji be tried on the chaTge of being undetv the in fluence of liquor while at Albany. Aus tralia. Captain Hugo Osterhaus, of the battleship Connecticut, acted a president of the court, which sentenced Midshipman Bernard. He's a Son of Fighting Bob. Washington, Oct. 2. Lieutenant Frank Taylor Evans, who according to a dispatch from Manila is to be court martialed on various charges, is the son of Admiral Robley D. Evans, who took the battleship fleet from Hampton Roads to the Pacific coast. No report of the charges affecting young Evans has reached the navy de partment. POLICE ON TAFT DAY. Chief Eaton Making Arrangements to Handle Crowds. Chief Eaton is making extensive preparations for the handling of the crowds and the protection of Judge Taft during Taft day. Several of the men on the night force will be shifted to day work to morrow and In this way the force will be almost doubled. There are a num ber of commissioned men in the city who receive no pay from the city but are employed as watchmen by large firms. These men have always done what they could to help the police force in times of crowds and big events and they will offer their assist ance and will be stationed during the day. The chief received a letter today from Chief Shippy. general superin tendent of the police of Chicago, in which he introduced the two men from the Chicago detective force Sergeant Berry and Joseph Mark ham. These two men have traveled with Judge Taft throughout the west and they will be received and given all the information possible by the Topeka force. All of the special trains coming into the city with Taft day crowds will carry 'special detectives from their respective cities, who will Join with the Topeka police in keeping order and keeping peace on the train. Judge Taft will enter the auditor ium by the waterworks entrance and the chief will station officers at this point. THEME IS WhISKY. In Today's Sleeting of Lengne of American Municipalities. Omaha. Oct. 2. The theme before the League of American Municipalities this forenoon was the liquor problem as it affected metropolitan cities. It was an interesting subject and was led by Mayor Rose of Milwaukee.. Among the cities represented in the discussion were Milwaukee. Atlanta, Dubuque. Near Orleans and St. Louis. No topic yet brought before the city officials has received closer attention and many of them did not hesitate to question the speakers. The afternoon was given over to a visit to Ft. Omaha, where the Sixth United States cavalry gave a special drill for the entertainment of the visitors. KNOCKS IT OUT. Judge Pollock Holds Jobbers' Bates Are Discriminatory. Therefore They Can Not Be Enforced by Law. IT IS FAR REACHING. May Affect All Jobbing Interest in Kansas. Grattan Says State Will Keep Up Fight. Judge J. C. Pollock, of the United States court, has rendered a decision in the Kansas freight rate case in which he holds that the "Jobbing rates" provided in the new freight schedules of the railway commission, are Invalid, because they are discriminatory. The opinion was rendered in the mo tion of the railway companies to strike out all of the state's defense of this class of rates. The effect, of this ruling is of the most sweeping nature. If it is sus tained by the higher courts, it may nave tne errect of invalidating the whole new freight schedule nronosed by the state railway commissioners. If the railway commissioners can not compel the railways to continue to give Jobbing rates to the Kansas wholesale houses, it may be impracticable to put in the proposed new distance tariffs. It has been the custom In Kansas, as In other states, for the railroad com panies to grant what are termed "com modity" or Jobbers' rates. These rates applied on shipments of merchandise made by wholesalers, and are consid erably lower than the rates on similar goods not shipped by jobbers. These low rates have been made by the rail road companies to protect Kansas job bers from similar low rates made to Kansas City, St. Joseph, and St. Louis jobbers. If the railroads did not grant low rates to the Kansas Jobbers, there would be no Kansas jobbers, because they would be driven out of business by the Missouri river Jobbers. Under the protection of the "jobbers' rates" Kansas has developed a thrifty and progressive wholesale business. When the Kansas railway- commis sion was making up its new "distance tariff" it decided to follow the lead of the railway companies and put in a "Jobbers rate, lower than the present jobbers' rate in proportion to the amount the "distance, tariff" is lower than the regular tariffs now In use. The railway- commission simply follow ed the plan of the railway companies, and made jobbing rates with appropri ate differentials to protect Topeka, North Topeka and Lawrence,, the same system which the railroad companies at present employ. But the rates which the railway commission proposed to give the Kansas Jobbers was consid erably lower than the rates which the railways are now giyfng them. One' of the first points which the rail ways attacked when they started their fight. on the new tariffs proposed by the board was to charge that the rail way commission could not "order" the railways to put in the new "Jobbing rates" and "differentials." The railways Admitted that they were at present giving such rates, but declared that they were undoubtedly a discrimi nation in favor of Jobbers, and were unlawful, and could be knocked out by anybody who desired to make a fight on them. The railways contended that as such rates were unlawful, the rail way commissioners had no right to compel them to do an unlawful thing. The attorneys for the railway com mission replied to this charge by say ing that the railways had of their own free will established the system of making such rates, and that by such system had built up a great jobbing business in Kansas towns which would be destroyed if the rates were with drawn, and the present low rates to Missouri river jobbers continued. The state held that since the railway com panies had voluntarily granted the "jobbi- rates" such rates were subject to review by the railway commission. Judge Pollock in the federal court sustains the railways' position in the matter, and says that the railway com missioners can not order the railways to make a change in the jobbing rate- The state is therefore in the peculiar position of having a series of railway rates in operation in the state which it can not amend, or even investigali with view of amending. The only thing it could lawfully do would be to wipe out such rates altogether, and this would be a death blow to Kansas wholesale houses. If the railway commission is oblige! to confine itself strictly to a distance tariff, to be applied alike to all ship pers under all circumstances, it is highly probable that the entire power of the state to make a workable freight rate system has vanished. The state would hardly care to put all its whole sale houses out of business by wiping out the Jobbing rates. Apparently the court's order will per mit the railways themselves to con tinue the granting of jobbing rates on such terms as they please, but will not permit the state to step in and lower these Jobbing rates, as the state want ed to do. The present Jobbing rates, however, would not be equitable In case the rest of the new freight tariff pre pared by the state railway commission, should be declared valid. It is possible that under the ruling of Judge Pollock the railway .companies may refuse to continue longer to ex tend to Kansas jobbing houses the Job bing rates now In effect. The policy of the railways on this proposition has not been announced. Mr. Grattan's Opinion. G. F. Grattan, attorney for the state railway commission, says that the state will yet win its fight, and that the contention of the state that the Jobbers rates are not dis criminatory will be sustained by the courts. This indicates that the state will appeal from Judge Pollock's de cision, to the United States court of appeals.; Mr. Grattan said this morning: "In the several cases brought by the railroads against the board of railroad-commissioners to enjoin the en forcement of the freight rate order of the board, it is the claim of the rail roads that the statute of the state Is such that jobbers' rates that have prevailed In Kansas for many years, and now are discriminative as against persons and places, and the board has FRIDAY EVENING. denied specifically In its answer that there was any such claimed dls crimination. But among other things In Its answer the state has said that even were the supposed claim true, which is made by the railroads, that the law under which the order is made is discriminatory, the railroads were in no position to protect them selves in rates that they have vol untarily put in force. "And on a motion to strike out a part of the answer which alleges that the roads have for years past granted what are called Jobbers rates and that the board recognized such Job bers' rates and extended them to more cities than the railroads are extend ing them to, the court says, that if such were the real facts, it could not avail the state, for if the railroads were already doing an unlawful act, the state could not by law require the railroads to continue such unlawful act of granting jobbers' rates. "But the board of railroad com missioners specifically deny that there is any such discrimination in the or der or In the law under which the or der is made, and still contends that the laws of the state of Kansas are not in such particulars discriminative, and that the law is valid, and also the order made under the law is also valid, and if the rates fixed by the board are compensatory that said or der will be put in force by the courts. The state contends that the laws passed by the legislature are valid, and that the rates fixed in its freight rate order are reasonable and. are sufficient pay to the railroads for the services rendered, and that on the final hearing of the merits of the ac tion that such order will be sustained and put in force." BIG SMUGGLING PLOT. Widespread Corruption Discovered In Immigration Department. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 2. The Chronicle today publishes a statement to the effect that the recent changes In the Immigration department in this state were the result of an investiga tion disclosing widespread corruption in the sen-ice along the Mexican border by which hundreds of Chinese have gained illegal entrance to the United States during the past two years. The details of the plot, which is alleged to involve Chinese and Mexican residents of Mexico and southern Cali fornia, as well as Americans holding official positions are said to have been communicated by one of the govern ment agents who discovered the exist ence of the smuggling ring. It Is said that the prices paid were $275 for de livering a Chinaman at Los Angeles or J500 for landing him unmolested In New York. William L. Waller. who" was dis charged after acting as an inspector of immigration at Los Angeles, 18 months ago, is said to have first acquainted the authorities at Washington with the suspicious circumstances that resulted In tha visit of Prof.Jenks of Cornell university.. Later the department of commerce and labor sent B. F. Garland of Washington to continue the Investi gation and his reports are said to have induced a visit from Commissioner Wheeler and Solicitor Harrison Nesbit. In San Diego and Los Angeles, it Is de clared the representatives of the de partment found proof of the accusa tions made by earlier investigators. During all this time It is affirmed, small bands of Chinese in box cars ani on country roads were being arrested and deported. It Is now ascertalneo' that many of these were laborers from Mexico, who were desirous of being re turned to China without expense to themselves. It is alleged, according to the story made public today, on one occasion one of the government investigators was approached by an American who be lieved him to be in the smuggling ring and who proposed that the illicit trar flc be made easier by landing Chinese at night on an island off the southern California coast. Here, according to the accusation, the emigrants could pass as fishermen tn the daytime and at night could be instructed In such rudimentary English and geography as would enable them to travel alter be ing landed in the United States. The Chronicle's informant has dis closed the names of Chinese, Mexican" and Americans alleged to have com posed the ring. It is said that the gov ernment, after securing sufficient evi dence to warrant summary action, chose to dismiss for incompetency a number of the immigration officers on the border rather than bring criminal prosecutions. NONE COULD DO MORE. Yonng Girl Gives Vp Her life to Save Marquis Inonye. Victoria, B. C, October 2. Sacri ficing herself in the belief that by giv ing up her young life, that of Marquis Inouye, lying ill at Okitsu might be prolonged, Fukumore Takeho, a 17-year-old orphan girl at Osaka, stab bed herself to death, according to ad vices brought by the steamer Lyo Maru, just arrived from Yokohama. Before taking her life th3 girl sent a postcard marked with her blood to Marquis Inouye In which she declared her intention of offering up her life. "The Marquis's relatives and Prince Ito may be tranquil," the message read. "I am going to the eternal sleep in the place of the Genero. I am an orphan and there Is none to mourn for me. By the time this is received I will be on the wav to heaven." A similar suicide occurred when the present czar of Russia- was visiting Japan as the czarvitch. He was the victim of conspirators who attempted his life. A young girl. Yuklo, stabbed herself to death to atone for the deed and many novelists In Japan -have written romances concerning her deed. GIVEN A MELON. Taft Expresses Gratitude That It Is Xot a Lemon. Julesburg, Colo., Oct. 2. The labor speech which Mr. Taft made at North Platte today was well received by an audience largely composed of work Ingmen. Mr. Taft went after Mr. Gompers in rough shape, saying that the labor leader was responsible for the circulation of lies about himself. At Ogallala Mr. Taft was presented with a watermelon by a man who de clared himself to be a Democrat. "I thank you," said the candidate, "particularly that it is a melon and not a lemon." This place received the candidate with enthusiasm. TWO CENTS. LOADS OTPEOPLE Promises of Record Crowd In Topeka Tomorrow. Judge Taft Will Be Greeted by Many Thousands. MAKE TWO SPEECHES. One. at Anditorinm, Other at the Grand. Will First Be Seen in the Big Parade. Indications are that If the weather Is good, Topeka will have one of tha biggest crowds on its hands Saturday for the Taft day celebration that It has ever had. All reports received at Republican state headquarters indicate that tha in coming trains Saturday will be loaded with people who want to see the "next president," and participate' in the big Republican demonstration. In. the good old .days, all these guests would come on free passes furnished by the state cen tral committee. Now, however.' they must all pay their railway fare in real money, which Is considerable of a test of patriotism, or partisanism. In spite of the immensity of this an ticipated crowd. Chairman Dolley of the Republican committee announces that everybody will have a chance to see Taft, and hear him speak. "Taft will first be seen In the pa rade," says Mr. Dolley. "Then he will speak at the Auditorium, and then he will speak at the Grand opera house. If there are still people who want to hear him, he will speak on the streets, people don't need to stay away for fear of lack of opportunity to see the next president." The big overflow meeting which Is being arranged for 'the Grand will be addressed by Senator Dolliver of Iowa, one of the great orators of the country, and possibly by, other orators, i 1 More special trains are being an nounced, as the time for ithe meeting draws near. Word was received today that two special trains. one of 12 cars and one of 14, will be run by the- Rocki Island over the line from Herington to Topeka, arriving here late in the after noon, and returning after the meeting at night. All the towns along the line at which Taft will speak are arranging big meet ings, and special trains will be ran in to many of these towns. Robert Stone of Topeka will- eome in on the. Taft. special as far as Strong City.' and will stop off there and address the crowd after -Taft leaves. i:- Democrats Will Be Good. Chairman Dolley received a report Friday afternoon that' some of the lo cal Democrats were planning to start a "rough house" during the visit of; Taft. The story, was that the Demo-, crats would distribute' handbills through the trowd abusing' Taft, and1 would have a number of people load- ed to interrupt Taft's speeches- with Questions and remarks of an incom petent, irrelevant and impertinent nature.' 1 T Vi i e mriT-nincr TPrAnlr Thomas.-the treasurer of the Democratic state com mittee, and chairman of the shawnee county central committee,, called at Republican headquarters,: and asked to be shown copies of the circulars which it was alleged had been prepared for circulation. The only' one wnicn tne Reoublicans had was the leaflet en titled "What Taft said about General Grant." in which it Is made to appear that Taft accused Grant of being a mnlrBpil Tii M fv-ii inr iff onA th Democrats have been circulating for some time, and probably had no con-- nectlon with Tart s visit to u opeka. Mr. Thomas denied emphatically that the Democrats were planning to make any disturbance, and Mr. Dolley said he was pleased to near it. "I didn't think the Democrats would be so foolish as to try to start any trouble," said Mr. Dolley," "but I fear ed that some irresponsible enemies of Taft might try to make a disturbance which would not only be very embar rassing to' Taft and the state commit tee, but unpleasant for the city of To-' peka, I am sure that the Democratic state and county committees 'Will dis courage anything of that sort." The following announcements were given out this morning for publica tion: "All resident and visiting veterans are respectfully Invited and earnestly requested to report to J. M. Miller, commander of veteran division,- at Sixth and Quincy streets at 6 p. m.. Saturday to take part in the parade. "All visitors as well as residents are hereby earnestly requested to Join the Taft parade Saturday evening, and thereby show the greatest parade ever seen in the city of To peka. P.y order of "J. W.

Offers to Officiate at the Burns Johnson Bout for S5.00O. Los Angeles. Cal., Oct. 2. James J. JoffrieB. ex-champion of the world, probably will referee the Burns-Johnson fight for the heavy-weight cham pionship, to be fought in Sydney. Australia, some time in December. A cablegram was received by the big fellow last night asking him what be would charge to seferee the scrap, and he immediately replied that he would be pleased to officiate for $5,000 cash and his transportation paid. While at first blush $5,000 may ap pear a prohibitive sum for such a task as is asked of Jeffries, it does not appear excessive when it is con sidered that Jeff would need to be away from home three months. Local sports who know the management of the Australian club, believe Jeff's proposition will be accepted. The club is reported to have agreed to pay Burns and Johnson $50,000, and, if this is true, $5,000 would be a pro portionately small price to pay the champion of champions for crossing the Pacific ocean and exhibiting him self as referee. Jeffries expects a re ply within two days, .and if his terms are agreed to will start by the next boat sailing from Vancouver for Sydney. M. V. TIGERS HAPPY; Old Football Men Are Returning for the Season's Schedule. Columbia, Mo., Oct. 2. Slowly but surely the veterans of the 1907 Tiger team, are returning to the gridiron. "Buster" Carothers, who has seen two years of service on the varsity eleven, &will return to school Saturday. In a letter to Coach Monllaw, Carothers promises to be in Columbia Saturday in time to see the Missouri-Warrens-burg game. Carothers and Graves, who donned the moleskin the early part of this week, are two of last year's Tigers who had been given up as lost by Missouri rooters. With the advent of Carothers, an other heavy lineman is added to Moni law's already long list. There is a probability that Carothers may be played behind the line where Missouri is noticeably weak. Coach Monilaw realizes that the backfleld needs strengthening, and has spent the past week in coaching the back trio. In scrimmage work this afternoon, Graves was switched to fullback, where his weight was a help to his partners in the back field. JIMMY BUTTMATCHED. Wiltse, p McGInnity, p.

There have been several, val uable catches in the month of Sep tember, Including two or three check forgers and a gang of boy thieves who have been doing a flourishing business In the city. As usual the "drunks" took the first honors with ease. They were the best pay also and the ma jority of receipts from fines were col lected from the plain drunks and dis orderlies. During the whole month the police force made 21 arrests or 23. more than were made in the month of Au gust. The current fines collected fpr September were $446.25 or S9.C0 more than in the month of August. Back fines totaled S73.50 or I1S8.S5 less than those collected in August.

Rayfleld Susso, who occupied the house where the girl was found and Annie Carlo, who is charged by the girl with having aided In keeping her a prisoner, have been arrested. Susso is charged with ab duction and criminal assault. Annie Carlo is charged with aiding in kid naping the girl. Lena Thorn has told the police that she was grossly abused. She was dressed in rags, she said was frequent ly beaten, was not given sufficient food and was threatened with death if she sought to escape. The girl's appearance and physical condition to day seemed to sustain her story. People in the vicinity of the Susso house had reported that they heard a woman's screams coming from the place and this morning policemen sur rounded the house and burst through the front door. When Susso saw the police he turned on the girl and sent her to the floor with a crushing blow In the (ace and made a desperate ef fort to escape.

City Will Soon Have One That Will Stand the Test. The material has arrived at last and the new city scales are being installed today under the supervision of Street Commissioner Snyder. They are situ ated Just in front of the police station, on Jackson street, and the pit of the old wooden scales is being used. The new scales will be a great improve ment over the old ones. In the first place they will be constructed entirely of steel with the exception of the floor, which is necessarily wood. The old scales were rested 011 three beams of wood and as a result there was a poor balance and too much play. The steel scales will have four steel beams un der the floor to equalize the play and give the proper balance. The old scales were of the "12. 000" class and rt times the rate was much less than this. The new scales are of the "20,000" type and have the capacity of supporting a loaded railroad car. The. cost of these new scales Is less than the cost of. repairing the old ones and the city made the purchase. The order was sent in to a firm at Kansas City, Kan., a month ago. but the ma terial did not arrive until this week. The company sent expert along,. who is personally conductig the in stallment. In the words of the com pany, "He Is the best man in this lire In the United States today." He is probably a good workman, but at the rate he is working the scales will not be in until some time next summer. The new scales will be used, wlin finished, as a standard for all the scales in the city. Fall of Thirty Feet Killed Him. Kansas City, Oct. 2. In a balloon ascension at Garden City. Mo..

ALL KINDS OF TRAFFIC Increase in Business Affects Every Department. Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. Evidence of the steadily returning prosperity to the railroads of the country is constantly accumulating. Not only is the number of idle cars diminishing week by week, but the re ttfrps from earnings are enlarging at a rate that is driving away the blues from the most pessimistic and rapidly transforming them to optimists of the ardent kind. Thirty roads thus far have reported their gross earnings for the third week of September, and the figures they give show a decrease of only 3.44 per cent as compared with the gross earnings of these roads for the same week last year. Some months ago such a comparison would have shown a loss of between 20 and 30 per cent. The significance of this lies in thf fact that comparison is made with a time when every road in the country had far more business than it could handle. The period of depression did not set In until October, and It did not begin to affect the railroads until the close of the year. For three months after it was first felt the railroads had enough surplus tonnage to work off to keep them as busy as they possibly could be. Compared with the third week in September, 1906, the business done in that week this year is away ahead, and there is every reason to be lieve that before many more weeks run their course the figures of last year will have been reached again and left In the rear. Another cause for congratulation in these latest figures is that the improve, ment Is not confined to any particular line of traffic, but is common to every commodity handled by the roads. Of course, the enlarged volume of agricul tural products moving to market cuts a conspicuous figure, but the improve ment is by no means confined to that line. .Manufactured articles of all kinds re reported to be moving in much Sirger volume. Iron and steel products ahe contributing their full share to th enlarged tonnage. Building material is moving In larger quantities than they have done at any time in the last year. General merchandise also is going into consumption at a rate that speaks as nothing else could of the Increased pur chasing power of the people as a whoie, and of the easy circumstances in which they find themselves. Should things keep up at the present rate and railroad business go on in creasing as it has been doing for tha last few weeks. It will not be long until the roads again find themselves in thi condition they were in at this time last year, when the equipment then at their command was wholly inadequate to take care of the freight that had ac cumulated on their hands. Present in dications all point to a continuance of the present trend. This is it OLYM RR0W C O LIAR rants- for 16 Orntt Clnett. Peoody Co, Troy, TS. T. PCf OVER BILL OF LADING. Shippers Must Pay More for Xon Acceptance. Chicago, Oct. 2. Eastern railroads have raised a storm of protest from shippers by announcing that if the new uniform bill of lading is not used a 10 per cent higher freight rate will be charged. This announcement was made today through the medium of the Central Freight association, which issued a long circular addressed to the public and dealing with the subject of bills of lading. The National Industrial Traffic league has already gone on record at St. Louis in opposition to the new bill and the regulations which the rail roads propose putting In force in con nection with It. The new bill of lad ing goes Into effect In eastern territory on November 1, and it is the evident purpose of the railroads to try to force all shippers to sign it and abide by Its provisions. The announcement reads: "If the shippers elect not to accept the conditions of the new uniform bill of lading and shipping order the property so carried will be at carriers' liability, limited only as provided by common law and by the laws of the United States and'of the several states in so far as they apply, and the charge therefor will be 10 per cent higher than the rate charged for property shipped subject to all the terms and conditions of the uniform bill of lading."

The supreme court declared as unconstitutional the Wisconsin eight hour railroad telegra phers' law, which was enacted at the 1907 session of the legislature. The law is declared unconstitutional on the theory that it is in conflict with the provisions of the federal constitution, which endows congress with the power to regulate interstate commerce, and further on the theory that congress, having already provided a law fixing the hours of railway telegraphers from nine to 13, it is not within the power of the state to enact a law which would in effect change this law. In effect the decision is far-reaching, Is it prohibits the state from enacting laws relating to the hours of labor on interstate railroads as long as there Is a federal statute in force.

Only Hopes He Is Suffering as Much as She. GIVES A BITTEIi TALK; Following a Letter From Him at Independence Jail. Hill's Trial for Murder of Alex ander This Month. Coffeyville, Oct. 2. Mrs. William Hill, who was shot by her husband on Friday, August 7, while riding along the, public road west of this city, in company with David Alexander, who was killed by Hill, is still suffering from the results of the wounds receiv ed at that time. After attending the funeral of the victim of her husband's wrath. Mrs. Hill was taken to her bed again and was confined there for over a month. On account of her weakened condition occasioned by the- loss of blood and the shock of her nervous system, the thirty-four shots have not been remov ed and up to this time she still car ries all of them. It is these shots that give Mrs. Hill the trouble now. At times the pain apparently follows the course of the shots and in this way she feels that she can tell just where each shot Is. Mrs. Hill does not know just when the trial of her husband will come up but it will probably be early in the October term. She has not communi cated with her husband since he gave himself up on the day following the murder. A few days ago she received a letter from him asking her to come to Independence and visit him at the county jail. When asked what she intended doing she answered: "I have seen all of him that. I ever want to and I hope he has been having as bad a time in jail as I have had. I did not answer the letter. It came by special delivery." In speaking of the shots that have not been removed Mrs. Hill said that they were a constant source of pain to her and that the physicians had planned to remove them but that her condition had not allowed It. When asked if she was not afraid of blood poison from the shot she answered: "Well you can only die once and it would be just as well 'How as a little farther down the river.' When 'a per son has had as much trouble as I have, living don't amount to much anyway." Mrs. Hill is with her mother, Mrs, McFarland, at the boarding house near the Standard brick plant.

Declaring that "every disinterested voter knows that large contributions have been used to secure mortgages upon offi cials," W. J. Bryan last night issued at Fairview a statement criticising the adoption by W. H. Taft, his Republi can opponent for president, of Presi dent Roosevelt's announced view of the publicity of campaign contribu tions. "Mr. Taft," says Mr. Bryan, "makes the same charge the president does the astounding charge that the voters are so liable to be misled that the knowledge "as to the sources of cam paign contributions' must be kept from them." The Democrat nominee then adds: "I insist that this is an insult to the intelligence of the voter and it does little credit to Mr. Taft's Judgment of the men to whom he is making his appeal." After giving out the statement Mr. Bryan referred to Mr. Taft's statement that Thomas F. Ryan contributed $15,000 to the Nebraska campaign fund in 1904 and said: "This has been denied but I assume that he has taken the statements of some of his Republican advisers with out taking time to verify those state ments. Mr. Ryan did not contribute any money to the Nebraska campaign fund. The national committee con tributed $15,000 in 1904 and the mem bers of the national committee who had charge of the fund have stated that the contribution was made from the general fund of the committee and was not contributed to the committee by any one for the purpose of being sent to Nebraska."

Many Srtentlsts Attack His Theory Kcgardinjs Tuberculosis. Washington. Oct. 2. Pronounced op position to the theory advanced by Dr. Robert Koch, the eminent German scientist, who minimizes the danger of human infection from bovine tubercu losis, and who declares that the tuber cle bacilli of bovine tugerculosis, are different from those of human tubercu losis, again developed itself at today's session of the International Congress on Tuberculosis. The controversy, oc curred in the section on "The preval ence and economics on tuberculosis of animals," and the German scientist's theories were combatted by some o; the most prominent veterinarians ir, the United States. Leaders in opposi tion to the Koch theory were Dr. Otto a. Noxek, of Reading, Pa.; D. Arthu Hughes, of Cornell university: C. J Marshall of Philadelphia; H. N. Rey nolds of the University of Minnesota and Veranus A. Moore of Ithaca, New York. "The uniformity of the tugercle bacillus is recognized everywhere to day." said Dr. Noxek, "and even the Prussian government refuses Koch's heory." He also cited the statement if the English commission of 1907, that 'Man and beast can't Infect each other." Dr. Hughes declared that in America here is a general disagreement with he views of Koch. He emphasized the importance -of co-ordination in veteri nary legislation In the individual states against animal tuberculosis. Ideal Autumn Weather. There is not a cloud in the sky to day and the temperatures are a num ber of degrees higher than those of yesterday though the end of the pleas ant weather is in sight if the govern ment weather bureau has made no mistake. A 24 mile an hour wind has prevailed from the southwest since early morning and the air has il 'n filled with particles of dust, and aside from the temperatures, the day has been disagreeable. The weather man promises a fine day for the Taft dem onstration Saturday, providing the event does hot last until too lat in the evening. The forecast says: "Fair to night and Saturdav becoming unset tled in the eastern part of state Satur day evening with rising temperatures."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr-FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1908. 9 THE CLUByOMEN City Federation Begins Its Sea son's Work. Mrs. F. W. Watson Delirers In 4 teresting Address. DR. WILM SPEAKS. His Interesting Discussion of Modern Psychology. Mind Used to Be Regarded as a Luxury, He Says. People usually return from a vaca tion with renewed ambition and Iresh enthusiasm and iJrs. F. W. Watson, president of the federated clubs of To peka, Is no exception to -this rule. At th October meeting of the federation at 'Unity church Thursday Mrs. Wat eon gave a brief address inspired by her summer spent in California and at her summer home in Topinabee, Mich., and mentioned some of the things the federation ought to do and might do to rnake Topeka a better place for them selves and those who come after. Beau tiful Topeka was Mrs. Watson's "slo gan" (whatever that is) and although the idea is not a new one and the club women have done a good deal to advance it. she had some specific pro jects in mind which gave exceptional Interest to her talk. ."In Nlles. Mich." said Mrs. Watson, "the railways' right of way is laid out In a beautiful park ing with flower beds and every passen ger going through the town or arriv ing in it is given a flower. A more charming and effective way of adver tising the town could scarcely be imag ined and you might know it was a wo man's idea. It is safe to say no one who has ever visited or passed through will forget it. In Grand Rapids, the unsightly billboards were done away with through the efforts Of the federa ted clubs, the members of which pass ed a resolution and held to it, not to patronize any institution -using this means of advertising. This is of especial- Irtterest to the Topeka federation which started an anti-billboard move ment last winter but has so far accom plished nothing in this direction. The club women of California have the most artistic and attractive club houses I have ever seen and I did not know until "I spent a few weeks there last spring how much a club home could mean to club work and club Interests. "We must not give up our club house project in Topeka but must put new life into our efforts. to have a perman ent home for the- federation, a head quarters for women's interests. The Chicago, municipal play grounds inter ested me Immensely and brought to my mind another work our federation Is trying to do. We have made begin nings in all these things and if we can push them to, a successful; finish we will Indeed have accomplished something for our town. I wish every woman in the federation would appoint herself a committee of one to make Topeka a better town in every- way and to im press .visjtpr9' .with the advantage w tuth Tan posssase.-tz Dr. YVilm's Address. Mrs. Watson's' address was gitren in the short business session' which pre ceded the programme which was in charge- of the educational and library committees of the federation and the principal feature of which was an ad dress by Dr. E. C. Wllm. professor of mental philosophy at Washburn, Some Phases of Modern Psychology. Dr. Wilm compared modern conceptions of psychology with the ideas which for merly obtained and showed the effect of the change upon educational the ories and methods.- It was a brilliant and scholarly address of sustained in terest and wide appeal and his audi ence listened intently Xrom the begin ning to the end. "If one contrasts, said Dr. Wllm. "the psychology of to day with the discipline known by that name say a generation ago, he will be struck by at least four characteristics of the new psychology which are not only highly interesting from a strictly Montiflr. nolnt of view, but, which from the point of view of their appli cation are of commanding importance. These are (1) its tendency to think of mind not as a substance or entity, but as a process or group of processes dis covertable upon Introspection: Modern psychology is a positive natural sci ence; (2) Its tendency to regard these psychological processes as standing in the most Intimate connection with their bodily correlates or conditions: modern psychology Is physiological psychology; (3) its tendency to regard mind from a biological point of view, as an instru ment standing In the service of the life of the organism to which it belongs: modern psychology Is prevailingly func tional psychology; (4) its tendency to look upon mind as a growth, modern psychology In gentelc psychology. "Mind used to be regarded as a sort of luxury or ornament with which man had been specially favored and which distinguished him from the en tire brute creation. The point of view here Is also completely changed. Mind nowadays Is not regarded as a useless appendage to the organism, but as a highly useful biological Instrument or device, a sort of practical guide, in fact, its function being to adjust the organism- to Its environment. How mind aids In adjusting the organism to surrounding conditions can best be illustrated by comparing the purely re flex and Instinctive modes of behavior noted among the iower animal forms with the intelligent behavior foun.l among men and perhaps a few animals which stand closest to man In the scale Of mental development. "The bearing of all our new Ideas and discoveries in psychology upon our theory of education is a very important one and there is perhaps no view which has. affected educational theory and practice so extensively and profoundly as this biological view of the mind as an Instrument standing in the service of our purposive and practical life. This view will affect seriously the se lection of the materials used for educa tional purposes, the studies the student will be required to pursue. If knowl edge, or culture for its own sake, is re garded as the end of education any branch might conceivably have as much value as another. But if the practical aim of adjustment to one's physiological and social environment is adopted as our. aim in education then obviously studies may have very dif ferent values because contributing in different degrees to the attainment of this end. Our view will effect serious ly the Whole technic of teaching. If Impressions and ideas do not stand alone complete in themselves, as if ex pression and act were a kind of un essential after-effect quite apart from thought and additional to it, if expres sion and act are, on the contrary, part and parcel of the mental life, then no method of training is sufficient which SuiisbfE&etf Worth There, are too many good things in. our.

The mind Is not only receptive and retentive, it is responsive as well and no theory of education and no method of teaching can lay claim to adequacy which does not provide for training in motor responses of every character. We must not only have systematic provision for a regulation of play, gymnastics, athletics, manual, industrial, domestic, agricultural train ing, but the method of teaching the con ventional branches must be modern ized by Insistence upon comprehension rather than slavish memory work: on more written and research work; more note books, drawings, mountings, plans and maps, more measurements and laboratory experiment. The child's artistic and religious Impulses must be refined and strengthened by permitting free scope for their exercise. This aesthetic and religious culture is not complete if one has simply learned to admire the forms of beauty and the ob jects of the religious imagination. If art and religion, these finest fruits of our passionate and impulsive nature, are to be perpetuated, we must love and live them, giving passionate utter ance and expression to our artistic and religious sentiment in poetry, or musical measure. -with pencil, brush o chisel and in nobly active virtues of the religious life, faith, hope nd lov ing deed." v EAsnom Treasury Deficit.

Lota of New- York children may have to go without pickles this winter, owing to a fire that j occurred last night at Hicksville, L. I. At 8 o'clock flames were discovered in the big pickle factory of Albert Ma guire and despite the frantic efforts of the villagers the entire plant, said- to be one of the largest in the country, was destroyed. Forty tons of saurkraut was roasted to black cinders. Thirty tons of pickles, averaging-1,00,000 pickles to. the ton, or 30.000.000 pickles In all. were destroyed. Thet savory smell of hot saurkraut and pickles was diffused all over that part of Long island. The fire lighted up the sky for miles around. Half a dozen lawyers who were try ing a case before a magistrate at Hicksville rushed out of the court room and. aided by citizens', succeeded in pushing one whole oarload of pickles out of the factory shed and to a place of aafety. The loss was esti mated at 160,000, partly covered by insurance. Joakley He would never have become so addicted to drink if it hadn't been for the trouble he had.
