GLEXX LEADS FIGHT. Western Senator Would Have Modified Measure. Accused by Stannard as Being Opposed to Bill. With scarcely any changes, the sen ate this morning in committee of the whole, adopted nearly all the sections of the anti-lobby bill as drafted and presented to the senato by the joint committee of both houses. A num ber of amendments were offered to various sections of the bill and consid erable debate was occasioned on the section prescribing who shall be term ed a lobbyist and be placed under the ban of that designation. Ail the senators evidenced an in clination to favor a bill regulating and controlling professional lobbyists and lobbying but many were disposed to Insert in the act provisions specifi- .,i.- 1 inff who might A W V J properly advocate or oppose any leg- f islation and upon whom the odium of oe.rs an(i the trainmen are authorized "lobbyist" should not be placed. How-;lr eject any intoxicated persons on ever, the majority of senators were of trains. thereby relieving the company the opinion that the act would not ap- f rom liability fcr damages based upon ply to persons who are really entitled ;ne ejectment. to approach legislators in regard to j t a brief meeting of the senate corn legislation and the only exemption !nljuee on elections next Monday even- specified was in the case of members l of the legislature. The committee of the wholj? arose just before noon, and will sit again thin afternoon to consider the remain der of the bill. It is believed that the committee of the whole will report the bill back to the senate with re commendation that it be passed sub ject to amendment and debate. A proposition offered by Senator Price, to exempt representatives of labor organization. churches and charitable associations from pro visions of the act, was defeated by a vote of 21 to 9. One of the bills of general interest Introduced in the senate this morning was offered by Senator Avery, provid ing for the establishment of a state fair, the location to be left to the de cision of the house and senate in joint session. Anti Ijobby IliU in Senato. Shortly after the senate convened this morning it resolved itself into a committee of the whole with Senator Huffman of Cherokee. in the chair. The proposed anti-lobby bill was im mediately taken up for consideration. Senator Brady offered an amend ment which was lopt. specifying that persons who approach members of the legislature "during sessions of the legislature," be designated as lobby ists. The bill provides "during the member's term of office." Senator Carey stated that he is the president of an electric lighting com pany and a street railway company and is interested in the public utilities bill. "I am in favor of that bill, all right." said Senator Carey, "but I don't want to be called a lobbyist if I speak to some member of the legisla ture in favor of its passage." It was explained by Senator Reed of the joint committee that drafted the bill, that the definition of a lobby ist applies only to persons who have a pecuniary interest in legislation as distinct from a public interest. An amendment to section 1 offered by Senator Glenn, provoked -considerable debate. The amendment specified that no person shall be deemed a lobbyist who shall talk or make an argument to a representative or senator from his district. "Such an amendment would nullify the purposes of this act." declared Senator Reed. "I think this matter should be con sidered very carefully and prayerful ly." said Senator Robertson. He argued in support of the position taken by Senator Reed. Senator Stannard declared that -he thought from the nature of the amendment tnat it was offered by one who was opposed to the bill and want- who ed t In to aestory it. replying to this charge Mr. Glenn aiu: "I emphatically deny the in sinuation of the senator from Lyon that I am opposed to the bill. I ani in favor of it. but I don't want mv con stituents, who are not lobbyists, "placed under the ban of this bill and termed as professional lobbyists." Senator Brewster argued that the provisions in section 1 would not be constitutional, holding it would pro hibit free speech on the part of the people. Senator Porter also question ed the constitutionality of the section. Senator Glenn's amendment was de feated, only five senators voting for it An amendment by Senator Hamilton that "no member of either house be deemed a lobbyist." was adopted and the section was agreed to. Sections 2 and 3 were adopted with out debate. But to section 4 Senator Glenn offered the following amend ment which caused a shout of laugh ter: "The secretary of state shall furnish all lobbyists with a metal badge, not less than two inches in diameter which the lobbyist shall wear in a conspicuous place at all times." "I suggest as an amendment to that that the badge be made a Kansas sun flower," said Senator Carey. The amendments w ere lost. Sec tions 5. 6 and 7 were agreed to as con tained in the original bill, with the ex ception that section 7 was amended so as to permit the presiding officers of the house and senate to invite lobbyists- to come on the floor during ses sions. Senator Quincy moved the elimin ation of sections 8 and 9. requiring lobbyists to file statements of thfir expenses and prescribing penalty for false statements. Senator Reed ad mitted that" personally he did not con sider the sections necessary, but thev were insisted upon by a large major ity of the joint committee. Senators Robertson and Glenn ar gued that the sections are necessarv in order that the people may have in formation as to how much money mav be expended to secure the passage or defeat of any legislation. X1 amendment was lost, and the FRIDAY EVENING. sections were adopted as originally dratted. By a vote of 21 to 14 the senators defeated Senator Carey's proposition to reduce the penalty for violations of the act, from $5,000 to $1,000 and sec tions 11 and 12 of the bill relating to persons exempted Xrom provisions of the act, were adopted as drafted. A new section, which was regarded with much interest by the senators, was proposed Just prior to adjourn ment by Senator Price, chairman of the judiciary committee. This pro posed new section was as follows: "The provisions of this act so far as applicable are hereby extended and made applicable to all lobbyists ap pearing before the executive branch of the state government. or any branch thereof including the board of railway commission, insurance de partment and state tax commission and school text book commission and board of control in or about any pro ceeding or measure therein pend ing." This amendment appeared to meet with favor and it will likely be adopt ed. The committee of the whole arose at 11:35 and will sit again this after noon. A bill introduced today by Senator Quincy proposes amending the exist ing marriage laws so that marriages may be performed by the proper per sons, in counties other than that in which the license is i.ssued. At present the law requires the ceremony to be performed in tne same county in license is issued. which the Senator Milligan presented a bill making it unlawful for any person to drink intoxicating liquor of any kind in any coach or vestibule of any rail way passenger train in this state. The penalty for violation of the act is fixed at not more than $100 fine or 90 days 'n jail. Conductors are given the right to arrest those who imbibe on trains thpm ovr thp ommtv jn was appointed as the date for hear- ing arguments on the motion of Judge p. Aikman for the dismissal of the contest proceedings brought against him by N. A. Yeager for the judgeship in the Thirteenth judicial district. The committee on cities of the sec ond and third class reported unfavor ably on Senator Lower's bill giving school boards authority to contract for teachers for a limited term of years.

Count Zip pelin is building another airship which will bear the name of Zeppelin III, and which he expects to be finished by the end of March. He is also constructing a floating tent for housing the new air ship. The count has introduced a new method for discharging from balloons. Heretofore the gas has been discharged within the cigar shaped covering, but with the new airship tubes will reach upward discharging it into the open air, thus minimizing danger from ex plosion.

GROWING SUSPICIOUS They Started Bonfire With Rec ords for Fuel. Federal Authorities Must Turn to Kail road Files. Chicago, Jan. 22. The Record-Herald today prints the following news ar ticle: Thousands of documents, some of w hich, it is said, would prove packing concerns guilty of rebating, have been burned by companies in the stock yards district since the government started its investigation into the af fairs .of Morris Co., according to word received bV the United States dis trict attorney. There was quick action on the part of the authorities. Secret service men were hurried to the stock yards to learn what employes had sorted the claims and bring the documents found in the files. It is proposed to subpoena them before the grand jury. The packers got woord less than a week ago that the government investigation was not to end with Morris Co.. and that there was to be an inquiry concerning sup posed rebates in other concerns. Al nst immediately the office force of concerns which the government con templated investigating got busy with old books and papers and there were several small bonfires. In spite of this attempt to block the investigation the federal authorities are planning to proceed with the in quiry. There still remain the files of the railroad companies which are available for the use of the federal grand Jury and which contain dupli cates of much of the correspondence on the matter of damage ciaims. There is no fear that the railroad companies will burn their records, for such action is forbidden by law. J. Ogden Armour ridiculed the Idea that any packing house of standing would resort todestroyingntsdecords be cause of a fear of prosecution, though he admitted he had heard a rumor to the effect that there had been a few "fires" at the stock yards. NO SHORTAGE OF GAS. The Elmdale Wells Not Giving Out as Has Been Report ext. Emporia, Kan., Jan. 22. Many ru mors have been afloat the past week about the gas, and especially about the wells at Elmdale, 30 miles west of here. The accident at one of the wells a few days ago in which the flow of gas was stopped, was the result of a leak in the pipe through which water percolated, causing a freeze and conse quent bursting. No trouble was ex perienced before this at any of the wells, and none has occurred since. The Elmdale gas is the dryest gas in the state, and water in the pipes comes from defective pipes. The Emporia gas situation remains as it has been for the past two weeks. The condition of the ground is a detri mental to the work, for the freeze ex tends but five or six inches in the ground. Work has been resumed in the south end, and the work will all be pushed as rapidly as possible. Gas is at the reducing station, and is ready to be turned into the city mains at any time. GUN FOR GUN. Shore Battery Answers the Salute of Admiral Sperry. Ville Franche, France, Jan. 22. All the ships in the harbor, including the T-lnKicV. nrtilear TTITVlrtnl T"l f t 1" T-"l"l ST- lish battleship Enchantress and many private yachts, were gaiiy aressea uu flags and bunting today in honor of the I Xanw tmirQl Q lUl T I" V- eOTTl- mander of the Atlantic battleship fleet. who reacnea nere at j l-iulk imo morning on board the Connecticut. His salute was answered gun for gun i i. httariAs nf the old citadel and by the guns of the Heimdal. The crews of the Minnesota, ine n.u Vermont manned the sides of their re spective ships while the band struck up the national anthem of the United States as the Connecticut passed into her moorings. INCREASED PENSION. Provided for in a Bill Offered in the House. Washington. Jan. 22. A bill provid ing pay for officers and enlisted men of the volunteer army who served in the Civil w-ar has been favorably re ported to the house by the committee on military affairs. Fifty dollars a month is provided for officers after they have reached the age of seventy, while privates are to receive $25 a month after that age. No pay will be allowed under the provisions of the bill if an officer or private is now re ceiving a pension in excess of the amount authorized. Neither will any pay be allowed under the terms of the bill if the applicant is employed by the federal government or by any state or municipality. STILLWILL bestill. Tennessee Legislature Prohibits Manu facture of Liquor. Nashville. Jan. 22. The lower house of the legislature by a vote of sixty to thirty-six has passed the bill to pro hibit the manufacture of intoxicants in Tennessee after January 1, 1910. The bill has already passed the senate and now goes to the governor who is ex pected to veto it, as he did the biil prohibiting the sale of liquor. It probably will pass over the veto as did the first. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JANUARY EASY TOfCOMPLY. Got. Hadley Says If Railroads Stop Discriminating Two Cent Rate Laws Will Cause No Trouble. RIGHT OF THE STATE To Regulate He Declares to Be Unquestioned. Law Involved In the Case Is Question of Fact. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 22. Gover nor Herbert S. Hadley made the prin cipal argument here today for the state in the Missouri rate cases and a great array or railway attorneys and others were on hand to hear him. Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, Mo., general solicitor of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy, made the leading argument of the day for the railways. Gardiner Lathrop for the Santa Fe will not address the court till Satur day. Governor Hadley asserted that the proposed freight rates were reasonable and that if the railways would stop discriminating they could easily compiy with the two cent law. Judge Spen cer declared that the laws under con sideration on their face refuted the legal presumption in their favor, that they were framed after due considera tion. The laws, he declared, came about as the result of political condi tions and not from any public demand or public necessity. Governor Hadley in his closing argu ment for the state in the two cent fare case said that the important question of law involved in this case is a ques tion of fact. The right of the state, he declared to regulate the freight and passenger rates Is unquestioned, if that regulation is exercised within the limitations of the constitution. Gov. Hadley review-ed the history rate legislation in Missouri, and continu ing he said the freight law of 1907 re duced freight rates thirty per cent upon certain commodities. He con tinued: "It has teen shown by the testimony in this case that the rates in the state of Iowa and Illinois, states similar in tonography and in the den sity of their population to the north half of the state of Missouri, are from 25 to 30 per cent lower than the rates that were being charged by the rail road companies hi this state. And, yet, according to the contention of the railroad companies, it would cost less to carry on the state freight business in those states than it does here, sim ply because the earning from that part of their traffic are lower. If you would increase rates In those states, according. v the railroads' theory of dividing expenses, you would increase expenses. "v "I assert that this theory of divid ing expenses between state and in terstate traffic in proportion to reve nue is devised for the purpose of liti gation: that it contradicts itself be cause it attacks the correctness of the measure by which it undertakes to determine the question at issue.v- In actual operation, the determinative test in railroad business is the ton mile, the theory contended for by the state in this litigation. If that theory is adopted, according to the figures of the railroad companies themselves, there is no road in the state of Mis souri, with possibly two or three ex ceptions, that is not making in excess of six per cent upon a liberal valua tion of its property. Figures Vpset Contention of Roads. "In the passenger business, the facts are equally strong and persuasive in favor of the contention of the state and the reasonableness of the two cent fare." Governor Hadley continued: "For ten years prior to the beginning of this suit, the railroads of the country had enjoy ed a condition of unexampled prosper ity, and the year 1907 w-itnessed the greatest returns to the railroads they had ever enjoyed since the beginning oi railroad construction. And with all of these so-called confiscatory laws, against which such a hue and cry has been raised by the railroads of the coun try, the earnings of the railroads in 1908 were second only to the earnings of the railroads in 1907. The railroads have demonstrated the falsity of their contention by their un questioned prosperity during the course of the last ten years. If their figures are correct in this litigation for the years 1907 and 1908, they are true for the years 1897 and 1898. And if they are true for these years and the years that lie between those dates.there wouldn't be a railroad in Missouri today but what would be in the hands of a receiver. The railroads have themselves demon strated the reasonableness of the two cent fare. 'If they would stop issuing passes. continued the governor, "and discrimi nating between those who are best able to pay as against those who are least able to do so, they could easily comply with the two cent law. If in ten years with an increase in passenger traffic of approximately 100 per cent and an in crease in equipment and mileage ot Due 22 per cent, the railroads are not abund antly able to comply with these laws reducing freight and passenger rates, then they have demonstrated that they are not nearly so efficient as operators as they are as witnesses." Charged to Polities. Judge Spencer said in part: "This is not a fight against Missouri but a fight for Missouri. The railroads have made Missouri the fifth state in the union and if let alone will help her go nearer the top of the list. "The maximum freight law under consideration came about as the re sult of political conditions and not from any public demand or public ne cessity. It followed, as such laws us ually do. the agitation of reform and the change in party power. It came into existence in Missouri about the time the mysterious stranger made its appearance in Missouri. For the first time in 30 years, the political parties changed power in this state. The new party cast around to see what action it might take to render itself popular with the people, and without cause or reason assailed the railroads with this maximum rate law, following this lat er with the two cent law." Weather Indications. Chicago. Jan. 22. Forecast for Kansas: Showers tonight and Satur day. Colder in west part of the state tonight. Colder here Saturday. 22,1909. NEW FIREBRAND. Brown of Kingman Throws One Into House. Wants General Investigation of Purchase of Furniture. RESOLUTION ADOPTED Republicans Dare Democrats to Do Worst. Refers to Use of Various Con tingent Funds. Brown of Kingman, that irrepres sible Democrat of the old school, threw a firebrand into the house this morning in the shape of the following resolution: "Whereas, it is currently reported on the streets of Topeka by reputable citizens of this- state and city, that in the purchase of furniture and other supplies moneys have been misappro priated and were taken from funds which were not accredited by the leg islature for that purpose. "Therefore, Be it resolved, by the house, the senate concurring therein, that a special committee consisting of three of the members of the house and two from the senate to be named by their presiding officer be appointed to investigate said charges and they be given power to send for persons and papers, administer oaths, and ful ly investigate said charges and report their findings back to their respective houses." Brown with the assistance of his Democratic colleagues seems to be able to have no end of fun with the Republican majority. He seems to have been able to keep them quarrel ing ever since the legislature convened. Mitchell of Douglas, Stone of Shaw nee, Foley of Rice, Brown of Kingman, Ryan of Brown and Dolley of Wa baunsee all spoke on the resolution, and on motion of Stone it was adopted without a dissenting vote. It is understood that this resolution is directed against the switching of state funds by certain state officials from the uses for which they were ap propriated to be used to buy office furniture. Attorney General Jackson. ex-Governor Hoch, ex-Bank Commis sioner Royce and ether state officials are alleged to have used money from their contingent funds to buy office furniture when the switch was made in state house offices a year ago when the tax commission was established. Brown, the author of the resolution, declared that he had vouchers and re ceipted bills with which to prove his assertions. The debate on this resolution be came acrimonious from the start. Mitchell was the first to speak on the resolution. He said the charges were nothing more or less than buncombe. Dollev appeared on the floor and in vehement tones declared that the Re publican party invited the most searching investigation of all public actions of- its state officials, all of whom had been re-elected by major ties of 40,000 last fall. He found the word "buncombe"- as used by Mr. Mitchell, most appropriate in describ ing the charges contained in the reso lution and used the word in his turn. Folev of Rice arose to defend tne minority of the "bunkum" charge. He said that the members of the majority were "hyper-sensitive to criticism honestly made and resting on a sub stantial foundation. Brown of Kingman declared that he was willing to apologize on the floor of the house if these charges were proved to be nothing but "bunkum." The Carpet and Furniture Bills. The house adjourned for the noon recess until 2 o'clock this afternoon when it took up the matter of pay ment of the Crosby Bros, bill of $6,000 for the new house carpets and desks. Several of the carpet and furniture dealers of Topeka, among them, the Mills Dry Goods company, Thompson Brothers and Emahizer Spielman deny the statements that have been made by members of the legislatrue, in the debate covering this bill, that "the executive council sent notices to all the furniture and carpet firms of the city asking them if they could be prepared to install carpet and desks and chairs at once should the members favor this new equipment." The above named firms say they received no such no tices. Hutchinson introduced a bill this morning which requires all minors to secure a license from the county clerks of their counties before they shall be allowed to enter any pool hall. The written application of parent or guardi THK TWO 15 ROTH K IIS OF PRESI Charles I. Taft. 3 I I jfl It is very evident that President-elect Taft is bound to be influenced in his career to a certain extent by his two brothers, Charles P. Taft and Henry Taft. Charles P. Taft has recently withdrawn from the race for senator in Ohio evidently in the interest of harmony at the behest of his brother. Henry W. Taft is a well known attorney in New York cityand is interested In law work with George W. Wlckersham, who has been offered the attorney generalship. Mr. Wickersham is a personal friend of the president-elect, but it is thought that it was largely through Henry Taft's influence that Mr. Wickersham was offered the appointment. Both brothers were very influential in. furthering President-elect Taft s presidential campaign. FRIDAY EVENING. an must be filed with tfhe county clerk before he can grant such license. A fine of $25 stares the pool hall keeper in the face who violates the provisions of this act. Boyd, Democrat, Republic, does not seem to like the new tax law. He has introduced a bill in the house that does away with the tax, commission entirely and creates a state board of equaliza tion to be composed of the lieutenant governor, secretary --of state, state treasurer, state auditor and attorney general. County assessors are again clothed with their old powers of as sessing property at discretion, or rath er at random. In fact this bill Is a direct return to the old state of af fairs. It is doubtful if even the mi nority members will support this meas ure solidly, even if they did attack the new tax law in the last campaign. Boyd has another bill, this one re lating to garnishee laws and proceed ings. The measure is long and ram bling and affords no particular protec tion to the plaintiff in a garnishee ease not- does it grant additional justice and equity to the unfortunate workingman who may fall into the clutches of the Philistines. Ravenscraft has introduced a bill which if passed marks the end of all fraternal and secret societies in the high schools and colleges of the state. The bill provides that the trustees, boards of education or boards of al! educational institutions in Kansas shall deny all students belonging to these fraternal societies the privileges of their schools or colleges. Failure to enforce this mandate is punishable by a fine of J100 to ?500 for each offense.' Buckman of Cowley introduced a bill in the house today amending the primary election law which he got through to third reading under the emergency clause and it was referred to the elections committee for report next Monday. The measure provides for an important change in the law. It would' abolish the enactive clause of the primary law as it applies to cities of 10.000 population and less-, enabling these cities to hold their city elections next spring under the old election law rather than the primary law for the reason that the expense is less, and convenience and practicabil ity are more applicable under the old law as the primary places these smaller cities on a partisan basis in city politics. Many people living in these cities all over the state will doubtless favor this amendment as the primary law works a hardship on these small towns when it comes to holding a municipal election. The tempest in a teapot of last Wed nesday over the number of house em ployes has simmered down to such an extent that the report of the committee on employes today to the effect that the number be increased to fifty-two instead of being cut from the original number of forty-four, was adopted without any comment whatever. The house is tired of the wrangle over em ployes and it might be said here that the public is also tired of the same subject. The Ravenscraft bill to abolish fra ternities and sororities, not only in the high schools, but in the state educa tional institutions, including the uni versity, has been introduced in the house and will make the students in the higher halls of learning "sit up and take notice." The bill is hardiy likely to become a law for the reason that it goes too far. There are many who believe that these organizations in the high schools of the state have caused legitimate criticism, but who will not look with favor upon a bill so drastic as the Ravenscraft measure. The fra ternal spirit in the universities and col leges is an important and valuable part of the college life when observed as it should be. It should not, of course, foster snobbery: and it does not when followed in the right spirit. By far the greater number of promi nent men, with college educations, have been members of fraternities. This is true of President Roosevelt and of President-elect Taft and hundreds of the prominent statesmen and men of affairs in this country. PAY ALL THEIR DEBTS. Chinese Begin New Year's Celebration in Usual Waj-. New York. Jan. 22. New Tork Chi nese began at midnight Thursday the celebration of the Celestial new year, which will last four days. Chinatown is gaily decorated, and following cus tom all debts have been paid in order that the new year may be started right.

GIFT FORHADLEY. large Picture of "Mysterious Stranger" by McCutcheon Is Presented to the Governor by Gardiner Lathrop. CHEERS D I JOKE OUT W hen the Sketch Was Exhibited in Court Room. Circumstance Is Followed by Appropriate Speeches. Kansas City, Mo.. Jan. 22. An inter esting incident took place in the Uni- tea btates district court here today when Gardiner Lathrop. general solid- tor of the Atchison, Topeka Santa re railway presented to Governor Her bert S. Hadley, a large sized Mctura of "the mysterious stranger." the gift of John T. McCutcheon, illustrator for the Chicago Tribune. The presentation was made just af- ter Governor Hadley had concluded Ma argument before Judge Smith McPher son of the cases of 18 Missouri rail roads tnat are flght'ng the enforce ment of the Missouri two cent and maximum ireignt rate laws. "The mysterious stranger." a erea- tlon of Mr. McCutcheon. made lis first appearance in print in 1904. when Mis souri for the first time in 30 vears cast its electoral vote for a Republican can didate for president. Governor Hadley, v no recently was inaugurated, is the first Republican governor in Missouri in 30 years. When Mr. Lathrop took the picture to the judge's bench and after show ing it to the court, turned it towards the over-crowded court room, cheers broke out and the spectators applauded for nearly a minute. Visibly affected. Governor Hadley arose and accepted the picture. He said: "It is the source of the greatest grati fication that after four years of service for the people as attorney general they thought I had made good enough to make me their governor. I may repre sent the party at whose, head stands the 'mjsterious stranger.' but my od ministration as governor will not be an administration for the 'mysterious stranger' but an administration for Missourians. Judge O. M. Spencer, of St. Joseph. Mo., followed Mr. Hadley. He Faid if there hud to be a "mysterious stranger" in the Missouri state house he was glad it was Herbert Hadley. "Did you vote for him?" inquired Judge McPherson. "I did not," answered Judge Spen cer. "Then you are like Andrew Carnegie and free trade," said the Judge. "You're for it after it no longer afreets you." "I want to say." concluded Judge Spencer, "that we'll take care ot the 'mysterious stranger" next time." SENATE FOR KAW HARBOR The Curtis Itewlution to Establish) 1 J lies Now Before the House. Washington, Jan. 22. Senator Cur tis' joint resolution empowering tha secretary of war to establish harbor lines for the Kaw river has passed tha senate. It now goes to the house. Captain K. H. Schultz says in Kaiw sas City that the work of establishing the harbor lines proposed in the Curtis resolution probably would cost the gov ernment close to $3,000 and that about six months" time would be consumed. No survey ever has been made of the Kaw. except at the month. The river has been declared a navigable stream between its mouth and a point west of Argentine and the harbor lines will embrace the whole navigable length. The harbor lines probably will follow closely the 734 foot channel lines laid down by the Kaw valley drainage board.

Probably Will Hear Testimony Charles P. Taft. New York. Jan. 22. Several fitnesses have appeard before the federal grand jury which is investigating the charge of criminal libel against tne jNew lorK World growing out of its criticisms of the Panama canal purchase.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING JANUARY 22, 1909 NEW 'MANAGERS. Four of the Major Baseball Teams Make Changes. Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Boston and St. Lonis the Ones. REDS LET GANZEL GO. Many Think Bowerman Is Not Aggressive Enough. Bresnahan Expected to Push Cardinals to the Front. New York, Jan. 22. When fans of four major league baseball teams trot out to the ball lot for the first games this spring: they will watch the work of new managers, for that num ber of magnates of the big league de cided that they needed new managers when the last season closed. The Bowerman Is a catcher of marked ability, but It remains to be seen what he can do in the managerial line. He has gotten much instruction- from Muggsy McGraw and it may be that sedate Boston will watch a really ag gressive National team. "Boston also had a'great part iri'the managerial position" of" another club, Brooklyn. Boston holds Bill Dahlen, who was badly wanted by Ebbetts as leader of the Dodgers, but Dovey wouldn't cut him loose, so the Brook lyn mantle falls on Harry Lumley, the star outfielder of the trolley dodgers. Lumley takes hold of a bunch of mis fits left, over by Patsy Donovan, who has been In charge for th.-ee years without getting Brooklyn back any where near the place that it held in the time of Ned Hanlon's regime. He is a veteran of the game and was a member of the great Pittsburg team of the nineties. As yet Donovan has not signed for the 'season of 1909. John McCloskey passes up the St. Louis leadership to Roger Bresnahan. Incidentally, the deal whereby the Giant catcher went to the Cardinals created a mild baseball sensation. It was not believed that McGraw would consent to pass up his great catcher, but some pressure was brought to bear that resulted in the deal going through and the Cardinals have a leader this season that ought to in ject more ginger than the St. Louis fans have seen in their National teams in recent years.

John Ganzel is the manager let out by Garry Herrmann at Cincinnati af ter one year's service. This is a deal that always did look rather queer. Herrmann admitted that the Reds un der Ganzel had made more money for "him than any previous team. He also made the statement that he was pleased with the players that he had gathered together for the next season, and John Ganzel did the gathering. Still Herrmann let the big first ba.se- m&n ti L Ami iiiok uh warn j i 1 1 LU II, formerly with the Highlanders as his leader. Ganzel has signed to manage Rochester of the Eastern league at a .big league salary. At Boston the rollers were placed under Joe Kelly, but at that Joe may continue to draw his salary. Dovey decided that Kelly had not done as well as he expected, and picked Prank Bowerman as his new manager de spite the fact that Kelly had a two years contract. This fact may lead Dovey into some trouble with the National commission, mm Kelly has entered a protest, and if ver a protest should be upheld it is this one. Dovey understood that To ronto was willing to get Kelly back and pay him as much, as Boston was offering. I. 8 Laxative for Women Free There la a great difference In the purposes to which a laxative should be pvt. Tablets and pills, salts, etc, ere usually violent purgatives 01 cathartics, and altogether too power ful for the average person. A woman at all times needs only a mild laxative in fact, none other is need ed by sajroBk weak or strong though they roay be, for the obleot Is simply to ancre ths bowels, and if a gentle laxative will do It. what is the use of a violent net Ir. Caldwell's fiyrup Pepsin has earned a well-deserved vogue among women and children and old folks people who must necessarily be careful of what they take. It Is a liquid laxative tonic and ad mittedly the greatest stomach, liver and bowel remedy Defore the American people. The price is only BO cents or Jl a bottle, as it comes In both sizes, and all drug gists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle action makes it an Ideal remedy for women Irt constipation, torpid liver, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn and such like digestive complaints. Its use for a short time will remove the trouble entirely so that future medication will be unecessary. Its tonic properties build up the stomach and intestinal muscles so that they act naturally again. That this la so is the experience of many heads of families, like Mrs. Brannan. of Alvarado, Va., Mrs. K. L. Stout, of Louisville. Kjr., and num erous others: in fact, way out in Wil liams. Cal.. as Mra J. B. Blackmore, of that Dlace. writes, the whole town seems to be using it. If the remedy is new to you and you want to make a trial of it before buying, send your name to the doctor's address below and a free test bottle will be sent you. Then, if results are satisfactory you can buy It of your druggist. If there Is anything about your ailment that you don't understand, or if you want any medical advice, rrite to the doctor, and he will answer you fully. There is no charge for this service.

Comlskey Thinks the While Sox Fielder Is Through. Chicago, Jan. 22. "It was my idea that they grew nothing but big trees out in Oregon, but I see that they pro duce some fine conversation there as well." This was the remark made by Presi dent Charles Comiskey. of the White Sox team, as he read the remarks credited to Fielder Jones, now in Port land. Jones is said to have remarked that he would not return to the South Side team as manaser unless he re ceived a salary of $30,000. "Jones may come back, but I wish to break the news to him a little gently about the salary talk," the "old Roman" continued, with a big smile. "Jones will not get any salary of that kind from me or anybody else that I know of. "Personally, I am beginning to be lieve that he will not return to us, but I have no direct news from him. and all I hear about him, is from a friend or something In the papers once in a while." SIICHIGAX SPOUT PAYS LESS. Receipts In 1908 Fall Sliort of Those of 1907 by About $5,000. Chicago, Jan. 22. That interest in Michigan athletics has taken a slump from a financial point of view is evident from the report of the finan cial secretary of the athletic associa tion for the year of 1908. Last year In all Michigan took in $27,664.02, against a total of over $33,000 for 1907. The discrepancy is especially evident In the football receipts. This year the fall sport netted only $20,198.67, while in the year preceding Director Baird took in $25,651.15. Corey to Run as a Yankee. Chicago. Jan. 22. Albert L. Corey will run against Dorando Friday night as a full-fledged citizen, making the race truly international. The im pending American will take out his naturalization papers today. When he won the I. A. C Marathon he w-ore the colors of France, and as a French man was suggested as a candidate for the London Marathon last summer. Corey has lived here six years. Des Moines Signs Players. Des Moines, Jan. 22. Owner John F. Higgins of the Des Moines Baseball club has signed Philip A. Kerner of the Colorado State league, a catcher, and William B. Kirwan. a pitcher hailing from the Central league. The latter is recommended by Witherup and Dwyer. two of the stars of the Des Moines aggregation last year. Friends 61, State Xornial 24. Wichita, Kan.. Jan. 22. The Friends university basketball team de feated the Kansas State Normal team of Emporia last night by a score of 61 to 24. The Xormal team was out classed in all points of the game. $3,500 a AVeelc for Jeff. New York. Jan. 22. Jim Jeffries, who will soon oren a season of ten weeks in New York, will receive the highest salary ever paid an attrac tion in vaudeville. He will receive $3,500 a week. Contracts have been signed. He will arrive here in three weeks. Syracuse, Kan., Jan. 22. Few peo ple realize the rapid development go ing on in the western part of the state. Those familiar with the plains assert that in a few more years the richest and most productive farms will be In western Kansas. The cause of the rapid development is the introduction into this section of soil culture or dry farming, as It Is commonly known. This consists in farming unfler Improved and scienti fic methods which conserve the mois ture and thus insure crops almost as certainly as does Irrigation. Can Bo Too Much Rainfall. It is an acknowledged fact among agricultural experts that seven inches of rainfall, if all conserved, will pro duce any kind of a. crop. The aver age rainfall from the Kansas-Colorado line to the 100th meridian is l mcnes. so this allows a margin of twelve inches for loss through evaporation with an ample remainder to produce a good crop of any kind of grain or alfalfa. Too much rainfall as is. usually the case east of the central portion of this state is a detriment to the farmer. It prevents him from cultivating his soil hen it most needs It ana getting it in that ideal condition necessary to produce a bountiful crop and again the excess rainfall will necessarily run through and drain off the land, and in so doing dissolves and washes away many of the mineral properties in the soil which are so vital to the growing crop. This fact explains why the lands in the semi-arid belt are far richer and more fertile than lands In the lo calities where the precipitation is heavy. The Principles of Dry Farming. The two important principles of dry farming are: First To place your soil in the prop er condition by the right kind of culti vation to absorb- all of the moisture that falls upon It. Second By cultivating at the prop er time and producing a soil mulch that will soon dry out as deep as cul tivated, protecting the moisture stored in the firm packed seed bed and sub soil below. Third By handling the soil in .this manner, during the average season one can drive moisture down as much as five or six feet which if the mulch is properly taken care of is sufficient to produce a good crop whether any more rain falls upon the land or not. For the benefit of those who are la boring under the delusion that it en tails a vast amount of labor It should be noted that any man with the aver age amount of gray matter can master it and with about $300 invested in the proper kind of machinery and four good horses he can handle 100 acres for wheat. By sowing a part of his quarter to alfalfa he can take care of 160 acres very nicely with this outlay and some additional machinery and his net pro fit will be larger than his brother in the middite west on a similar acreage where the rainfall is greater. Big Returns From Campbell System. Farming under the Campbell sys tem is but very little more expensive than the methods now used by the better class of farmers in the middle states. The returns are greater. This has been thoroughly demonstrated within the past decade by producing wheat throughout the semiarid belt that has yielded all the way from 35 to 67 bushels per acre. The oldest settlers have been in Ham- CURES CATARRH Fred A Snow's Drug Store Will Fur nish The Medicine Free in Every Where They Fail to Cure Catarrh. Neglect or pessimism we believe is the greatest enemy the public have to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practically every case of consumption might have been cured If hope had been main tained and proper treatment had been restored to at the first symptom of the disease. Vntil the advanced stage is reached, consumption is curable. Catarrh is responsible, we believe, for every case of consumption. It is about Catarrh we want to talk to you today, incidentally consumption, since the two or so closely allied. We have a medicine made from the prescription of one of the most suc cessful catarrh specialists known. This medicine has a record of 98 per cent of cures, and we believe it is positively without an equal. vWe are so- satisfied that we are right, that we will sup ply the medicine free in every in stance where it is used according to directions for a reasonable length of time and fails to cure and give satisfaction in every particular. We want everyone in Topeka to try this medicine at our risk. There are no conditions or formality attached to our offer. We put the user under no obligation to us whatever. The medicine we want you to try is Rexall Mucu-Tone. It is a catarrh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried by the blood to every part of the system. It seeks out and destroys the germs or parasites which cause Catarrh. It purifies and enriches the blood, tones up the muco-cells, soothes and heals the tissues that were ravaged by the catarrhal parasite, and brings about a condition of health and strength that prevents the germs of consumption from ever getting a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder. Its good effects are felt from the very first dose. It is one of the largest and most satisfactory selling medicines that we have ever had any thing to do with. We know so much of the great good that it has done that we personally back it up with our reputation and money, which fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy anybody. Rexai! Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50c and $1.00. We urge you to try it- Fred A. Snow's drug store, 523 Kansas avenue, Topeka- ilton county for almost 40 years and the season of 1908 has been pronounced by them as the driest In that time. This condition was true throughout the semi-arid west and yet on one farm in this district 7 hnh,i, nh. to rhe ?.e Las Produced last year. Oth- nave Deen reported ranging from 35 to 53 bushels per acre. Austin brothers, a couple of enter prising Toung farmers living south of this city raised 1,600 bushels of maize last season. Facts like these should convince the most skeptical that all it requires to produce results is the right isjiiu ui taoor done at the right time. A X urnber of Practical Examples. Hamilton county has some of the best farmers to be found in the west ern part of the state. A Mennonite colony is located in this county. Here is quite a large acreage of wheat and no doubt some large yields will be re ported there this season. The farmers here are organized and have a very active institute. A num ber of authorities have lectured to them on soil culture and including Prof. H. W. Campbell of Lincoln, Neb., who will address the farmers here again sometime next month. A great many of them take Prof. Camp bell's Scientific Farmer and have his manual on soil culture. George J. Downer, of this city, is about as well Informed on dry farming as anyone in the southwest part of the state, having made a careful study of it. Last summer he made a trip Into soutneastern Washington and north eastern Oregon for the purpose of in vestigating their methods. He found them farming lands that were inferior to those In western Kansas and which were yielding all the way from 30 to 60 bushels of wheat per acre; doing this on an average annual rainfall of 15 Inches, from 3 to 4 Inches less than falls in this section. These people are using Campbell's methods and their farms are actually selling at prices ranging from $60 to $100 per acre. Mr. Downer has a body of land con taining 3,360 acres lying near this city that he had been offering to sell at $12.50 per acre. Immediately upon his return from the west he notified the agents that his land was off of the market. He is now having 160 acres broken out which he intends having tilled under direction of Prof. Camp bell. It Is his intention to sow 80 acres of this land to alfalfa next July and the other 80 to wheat next fall. No one here has ever tried alfalfa upon the upland except in small patch es of two or three acres. This has done well where it has not been pastured too close. Mr. Downer told the State Jour nal correspondent that he was confi dent that it could be grown on the up land profitably for seed. Many others are of the same opinion. And thus it Is with western Kansas. These people are with the aid of such men as Campbell working out their own destiny. The', development will continue, population steadily increase. Finally the plow- will have turned over all of the virgin soil and these prairies will be one vast expanse- cov ered with alfalfa, wheat fields and dot ted with happy homes. EIGHT SALOONS ARE RAIDED. Were Injunctions on Several of the Properties. Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 22. Activity in the law enforcement campaign is re sumed by the city police force raiding eight places where liquor was alleged to have been sold in violation of the law. A number of the saloons raided are in properties on which there are now injunctions Issued by the district court. According Jtto the statement made at the memorable council of war held by Attorney General Jackson at the county court house several months ago, these cases will be certified over to Lee Bond, county attorney, for pros ecution by the state after the city has disposed of them. The warrants were issued on the fil ing of informations by W. H. Goff, the informer working in behalf of the city in the closing movement. He claims to have liquors which he bought at all of the places raided. The police con fiscated liquors at Horn s place, the first one raided, but were anticipated by the jointists' "grapevine" telegraph at the other places where nothing was found to be confiscated. LeMay's place was raided by Patrolmen Steve Cotter and Ross McClure, while the other sev en places were covered by Patrolman Joe Logan and C. W. Darling. Chief Taylor said that Gaff had no connection with the police depart ment and so far as he knew was act ing only because of his interest in the enforcement of the law. He said that he did not know whether or not Goff lived in Leavenworth and did not know the man. WITH T AIT TO PANAMA. Junction City Roy, Now a Noted Builder, Has Job on Isthmus. Junction City, Kan., Jan. 22. Among the six most eminent engineers of the country, who have been invited by the present executive to accompany Presi dent-elect Taft on his visit to the Pan ama canal zone, is an old Junction City boy, Arthur P. Davis, now chief engineer of the reclamation service at Washington. Mr. Davis was born and reared in this city, and is a graduate of the grade and high schools. He is one of the eight children of the late John Davis, who was a United States con gressman, and editor of the old Junc tion Tribune, now ;the Republic An other of the Davis boys, Charles, is in the government service, being high in the printing department at Washing ton. This work has taken him all over the country, and into Alaska, and he has performed many great engineering feats that have placed him near the top of his profession. GIVE A SIX MONTHS TRIAL. Idea of Uncle Sam to Prevent Deser tion Among New Recruits. Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 22. In a report from Major James B. Irwin, inspector general of the army, follow ing an investigation of desertions from Fort Leavenworth organization, re ceived here the recommendation is made that recruits be enlisted for six months trial before their final accep tance. It is suggested that at the end of this time the qualification of the re cruit could be determined and he could decide on the desirability of the service. In the event of acceptance the trial period would be applied to the term of enlistment. Brought Home for Burial. Marysville, Kan., Jan. 22. The. re mains of John H.

"Kansas permits negroes to attend its university, and if your instructor asks that you sit by one of the black race, either do so or take the alternative, leave school." To this the student replied that it wa?i both unhealthful and unpleas ant to sit near a colored person, es pecially one who was not cleanly.

Paid In Full," Eugene "Walter's great play of contemporary American life, which was presented at the Grand earlier in the season, has been seen here again with another cast, at the theater again last night and is the bill for tonight. The company which was here before was headed by Guv Bates Pnst and Miss Clara Blandick was the leading woman. It was undoubtedly superior to the present one in some respects, al- iiiuusu liiis one includes some excep tionally good players and the produc tion in every way is worthy and inter esting. If you have never seen "Paid In Full" don't put it oft any longer. No better play has ever been written by an American and this is not th opinion of one snip of a reporter in Topeka, Kansas, but the verdict of competent criticism throughout this country. The London production of "Paid In Full" was not a success. The British ers didn't like it and it was taken off after a short run. Its failure is unaccountable, for although the play begins in a Harlem flat and never gets away from the Harlem atmosphere, Its appeal would seem to be universal and one would think it might have equal application and relevancy In Blooms- Dury ana Aiayfair, ParkdaSe and tcninestone avenue. "Paid In Full is a picture from life, so vivid in its characterizations, so true in all its es sential details, its drama so unforced and its situations so convincing that it grips and thrills like a personal experi ence. The most jaded theater-goer has many moments in its four acts when he forgets that he is in a playhouse and this is surely the supreme test of play and actors. Mr. William L. Gibson, in the grace less role of Joseph Brooks, gives a strong delineation of the most master ly character of recent American drama. It must have been this typical grouch. Brooks, who made the managers shy at Mr. Walter's play the two or three years he was hawking it around among them unsuccessfully. Perhaps they thought it was no use trying to force this wholesome illustration of old fashioned and almost forgotten prin ciples, upon a public which had been "eating" the half-baked political and economical rantings of plays like The Lion and the Mouse and The Man of the Hour. And yet Brooks proved to be a master stroke and the popularity of "Paid In Full" has shown that we still believe, as a people, in the doc trine, undisputed in the early days of the Republic, that success in this land of the free and home of the brave, is largely a question of personal ability and endeavor and that, like happiness it is within us. Mr. Gibson Brooks is faithfully worked out to the last detail with a keen sense of its dramatic val ues and is a portrayal not soon to be forgotten. Mr. Walter does not believe in the lone-man play and "Paid In Full" one might almost say. has three leading I roles. That picturesque old brute, .Captain Williams, is as striking and powerful an imaginary projection as Brooks, and "Jimpsy" Smith is no saw dust hero, but a flesh and blood char acterization. Mr. Scott Siggins Is the Captain Williams of this company and brings to the role the repelling brutality and the compelling vigor, the rugged exterior and the fine flashes of splend id generosity and reverence which it demands. Mr. Albert Brown's Jimp sy is a delightful study, of many fine touches. Miss Sara Perry as Mrs. Brooks. Miss Rose Snvder as Mrs. 'Harris and Miss Pauline Darling as .Beth complete a cast of much strength and merit. A. F. J. CLEAN THE PHONE City May Install a System of Inspection. Claimed That Disease Is Spread by Telephone Mouthpieces. FOR NEW WATER MAIN Mayor Green's Plan for Bnsi- ness District FaTored. System Followed in "New York and Philadelphia. The city health department is in terested in the sanitary condition of the telephones over the city. In some cities it is required of everyone using telephones to cleanse the mouthpiece at least once a day with some dis infectant. It has been found that hydrogen. It has been found that many diseases have been spread by a telephone which is used by different people every day. The city officials think that it would be advisable for an inspector to make an examination of telephone mouthpieces in the of fices, especially, over the city and re port to what extent they harbor dis ease bacteria and whether they con stitute a danger to public health. It can be easily seen that the telephone can be a meaAs of spreading con tagion and the matter, though new, would be a profitable one for the city of Topeka to look into. Topeka is constantly "at home" to conventions and meetings of all kinds and in the last month there have been on an average of one convention here a day. This constant throng of people and the public use of the telephone forms anample chance for the gathering of the bacteria in the telephone mouth pieces. The telephones in the down town stores and on the larger offices especially would bear a strict exam ination by the city. Since the high pressure water mains suggested by Mayor Green have been discussed there has been considerable comment going over the city as to the advisability of the plan and every person interviewed has given an unanimous aye" to the proposition Not only have the local men been in terviewed but the conditions in other cities have been solicited. It has been found that New York city and Phlla delphta are conducting their fire pro tection in the business districts on the high pressure system. On the other hand Indianapolis has decided that they do not need it. In the Indiana city they have 110 pounds of pressure at the hydrant and they feel that this Is sufficient. Topeka can acquire a 110 pound pressure at the average hydrant but it takes a steamer to do anything with It. There are several cities in the country sending special representatives to the two high pres sure cities New York and Philadel phia and In a few years the high pressure system will be adopted all over the United States. Topeka has an excellent chance to build her new up town district water main at once cohsidering the location and ad vantages of the Harrison street sta tion and action should not be delayed. Mayor Green hit a responsive chord when he mentioned the high pressure water main and while the irons are hot It is time for the city to act. It is a well known fact that when the mem ory of the disastrous Copeland fire dies down the matter will receive lit tie attention from the general public and at the present time when the peo ple are heartily In favor of the plan is the time for the hammer to ian. iiere is an example of the work done this week by the fire department of New York city under the high pressure system: "Three fires on a cold night, with a wind blowing, demonstrated the efficiency of the high pressure fire sys tem. Seven of the ten pumps in the stations were brought into action at one time, throwing a volume of 21,000 gallons of water a minute, and over six hundred nremen were on auiy. Fortv-seven engines which responded seventeen at one fire, ten at another and twenty at a third, were or no use after the high pressure was turned on. The first fire alarm, on Hudson street, was turned in at 7:22, the sec ond, on the Bowery, at 7:45, and the third at 8:17. Chief Croker said that never in his twenty-five years' exper ience as a fireman had he known of such a severe test of the capacity or the department." in a fitv in Massachusetts the superintendent of the waterworks satisfied the angry mob of water users who claimed that tneir meters were running too fast by taking a meter apart and exhibiting the parts to the public and explaining the warking ac tions. Meters run all right on paper and in the factory but when they are placed down in the depths of the cel lar they have a peculiar tendency to run Just a little faster.

This would be a mighty good plan ror tne public health es pecially since the smallpox scare of a few weeks ago, when all of the con tagion over the eity came from the association of school children. The question Is shall the city pay for the fumigation or is it up to the school board to stand the expense? But this is a minor matter when the public health is concerned. The advisability of such a plan will undoubtedly go before the council at their next meet ing, on the first Monday in February.

When this surface map of Mr. Cline was manufactured, the gentleman was carefully perusing the anti-lob" bill line by line. A thin mark of disgust showed around the corner of his moustache, and he said nothing. Per haps the Gentleman from Montgomery thinks that one who is so blamed afraid of being "approached" by a lob byist that he must wall himself about with an anti-temptation bill, would better stav at home. The Gentleman from Montgomery is an Elk. He is also branded as a "good Indian," and that helps some. The reapportionment legislation now before the legislature, win go througn without a doubt. The persons who drew these bills, were clever enough to make the changes in only a few coun ties.

New York has never before witnessed such a spectacle as may be seen every day tA Broadway and Ninth street. It is here that T. Cooper, the Western stomac'iologist, whe claims that stom ach trouble is at the bottom of all chronic ill health, is meeting the pub lic. It "would be difficult to estimate Just how many people call to talk wUh Cooper during a single da The store where he is holding forth seems to have become the Mecca for ailing peo ple in New York, and the amount of medicine he is disposing is enormous. In addition to what he sells, hlms -T. druggists generally throughout New York are handling his preparations out In unlimited quantities. A leading druggist said recently: "The public seems to have lost its mind over this man Cooper. Personally. I ilon't know anything about his medicine. We -had nothing to do with his con.ing to New York and he has until recentiy sold his preparation entirely through one company. I suppose he thought New York was like one of his Western towns and everybody could be supplied from a corner drug store. He woke up about a week ago and put it on sale everywhere. Since then we have been selling it. I don't know how Ions this demand will last, but I have never be fore seen anything like it." In an interview Monday afternoon Cooper said: "I am not making any wild claims for my medicine.

TTLL LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. r The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole par rose. The Chicago News thinks that the irequent tannings received by Mr. Roosevelt should render his hide im pervious to the rays of the tropical sun It has now been discovered that the auditorium at the State Normal college at Emporia is- a fire trap. Evidently the Cope land hotel disaster was not In Vain. Mr. Castro does not appear to be Cuite as smart as he has been credited with being. He announces that he is going to return -to Venezuela. But then, maybe thia Is one of his bluffs. Prom the action of a few of the state legislators it would seem that they Iworlt on the theory that row that they have been elected they don't care a rap What the people may think about them or expect of them. Concerning the play which is soon to be staged In which John D. Rockefeller Is to be the central character the Chi cago Record-Herald supposes that the villain will be a representation of Archbold while the buffoon will be Chancellor Day thinly disguised. If all of the railroads that are being projected in Kansas on paper are finally built there will not be any need for many "good roads" for there won't be any room for them. There is hope in the situation, though, because his tory is replete with the failure of paper railroads to materialize. Such a profusion of legislation has been presented already for the consid eration of the members of the state legislature that a; task of herculean proportions has been' cut out for them. Doubtless there are a few who wish that they had sought other fields In which to display their peculiar talents. The people who are now crying the loudest for the-sun to shine again will be among the first to find fault with it when It soon gets busy with continuous activity. But what's the use of finding fault with the weather, anyhow? It win be what It Is, regardless of the wishes or machinations of any human being or any number of them. No candidate has come to the front to Oppose William Green for the Re publican nomination for mayor at the coming spring primaries. This Is as It ehould be. Mr. Green haa occupied the mayoralty chair with ability and dis tinction. It is such a public servant a ha has proved to bo that is entitled to renomlnation and a re-election. i The verdict of the coroner's jury Iwhlch Investigated the fire that de stroyed the Copeland hotel Is all right as far as it goes but it -will strike a good many persona that it did not go ,iaHe) far enough. Some one certainly was responsible that the rooms of this ihostelry were not equipped with rope ifire escapes as the law demanded that they should. The inclination, or the decision, or (Whatever it may be, of the senate (committee on employes to reduce the excessive number of the employes that .-were appointed haa developed into a farce that will hold the members of the committee and the rest of the senators tip to little less than ridicule. The re suits accomplished so far have been the lopping off of three persons appointed to positions but who have failed to accept them. A wonderful showing. this. A! majority of the members of, both branches of the Tennessee legislature have shown themselves to be men of the right progressive sort. They have passed a state wide prohibition law over the veto of the governor. This statute Is unique among the prohibitory laws in force In various of the states in that it practically accomplishes state wide prohibition by forbidding the es tablishment of a saloon and the sale of liquor within four miles of a school house. John D. Rockefeller has added an other million dollars to the endowment fund of the Chicago university. This makes his gifts to this Institution ag' gregate $24,809,666. And to think of It! Not a penny of this sum has been asked for by the college authorities, ac. cording to a recent statement of Mr. Rockefeller. It will not be well, though, for other people or Institutions to bank on the theory that they will be hand somely remembered by John D. because they have refrained from asking him for money. All nossible encouragement and sup- "port should be given to the national exhibition on tuberculosis which will be soon opened for display in this city. It should receive the attention or every one. Much can be accomplished in the way of preventing the spread of this dread disease through the education of the people along the lines of precau tionary measures that can be adopted. The exhibition In question will be the means of starting people on the way to acquiring much valuable information on this important subject. GREAT MEN OF 1809. The year of just a century ago, 180&, occupies a luminous page in history as a period when men were born who rose to a fame that still endures. It is doubtful if there is a single year in the recent centuries which can point to such a distinguished honor roll in this regard. In that year occurred the birth of several men who have left an Impress on a variety of the affairs of life that will In all likelihood prove to be immortal. First among these is Abraham Lin coln, the great emancipator, and the centenary of whose birth will be celebrated generally throughout this country and in other portions of the world on February 12. Another statesman of undying renown who was born in 1809 was William Ewart Gladstone, one of the greatest states men of England and of the world. That scientific philosopher and originator, Charles Darwin, was also born in that year. An unusually strong galaxy of writers of poetry and prose, whose works occupy prominent positions on the library shelves of today also add lustre to the year of 1809. Among them were Alfred Lord Tennyson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edgar Allen Poe, and Fitzgerald, the translator of Omar Khayyam. Two prominent fig ures in the world of music also saw the light of day for the first time in that great year, Mendelssohn and Chopin. Possibly the list of notables who make the year 1809 stand out so prom" inently in history because it was their birth year is more extensive, but enough of them have been mentioned to show that that year occupies a rather remarkable place in history as the birthday of so many distinguished individuals. SCOTCH CANAL SCHEME. There is a remarkable, though quite unnoticed, parallel between Great Britain and theUnited States in one im portant respect, says some special cor respondence from Glasgow, Scotland, to the Chicago Daily News. Each country has an eastern and a western seaboard, liable to attack by an enemy in a time of war; in each one of the national problems is how the safety of both sides is to be insured, and in each a canal enters into the calcula tions of the statesmen concerned. These remarks are inspired by replies given in the house of commons this week by the British prime minister and first lord of the admiralty to ques tions put to them as to the attitude of the government to the proposal that the present canal between the firths of Forth and Clyde should be so widened and deepened as to. make it capable of carrying the largest ships of war from east to west or from west to east. The proposal is an old one, and it crops up with great frequency. It is, however, being taken much more seriously at present than at any previous time. It is even said that there is "an influ ential syndicate" behind it, prepared to find the necessary capital should they obtain parliamentary powers to go on with the undertaking, and should It be found possible to buy over the present Forth and Clyde canal at a reasonable figure. WARSHIP SCARE. The "German scare" has, of course. emphasized very considerably the necessity for rapid warship connections between the east and west coasts. It is recognized thoroughly that the naval interests of Great Britain in the North sea are so great that a fleet must al ways be ready for operations there. It is, however, also recognized that in the event of war in the North sea easy access to the great shipbuilding estab lishments on the Clyde would be of immense national importance and that the time lost in taking disabled vessels round either the north of Scotland or the south of England might mean all the difference between victory and de feat. It is, on a smaller scale geo graphically at least the same prob lem which confronts the United States and which the Panama canal will do so much to solve. The distance3 on this side of the Atlantic are not so great, but that very fact crowds the possibility of sensational happenings into a smaller space and therefore Into a smaller time, so that the cases are, all things considered, very much on a level. If the Panama canal will save a United States fleet some day from the long voyage round Cape Horn to meet an enemy from the other side of the Pacific or of the Atlantic the Forth and Clyde warship canal wil' when it comes save a British fleet from the equally long voyage if ever a continental power threatens the east coast when the defending fleet hap pens to be on the west. Tied Dynamite to u Dog. Tom Buchanan's pet dog took sick the other day and Tom thought it would bo a humane act to relieve the animal of its suffering by killing it. So placing the dog in a basket he car ried It to a field on the outskirts of town and tied it to a tree. Then care fully tying a stick of dynamite closely to the dog's tail he lighted a long fuse and ran to await results from a safe distance. He had gone only a few yards when he heard a familiar bark close behind him. and turning, was horrified to find that his dog had broken loose and was now close at his heels. Tom gave a yell and set out to break all sprinting records, sso aid. tne oog. Apparently recovered he yelped with joy at the prospects of a race with his master. and as a sort of rudder to guide him his-stubby tail stuck straight out with the stick of dynamite still tied snugly to it. Buchanan hit only the high places but his dog continued to gain on him At the end of another 60 yards he glanced back again. The fuse was sputtering dangerously close to the dynamite. Suddenly there was a loud report and Buchanan felt himself hurled into the air. He doesn't re member when he came down, but he has a vivid recollection of awakening several hours later with a thumping headache and a number of painful cuts about his face and arms where rocks torn up by the explosion had hit him.

Another im portant point to take into considera tion in connection with taxu is fair and honest assessors. Men of Judgment should be selected for. assessing pro perty. Union township has indeed been favored with honest and capable assessors. In a certain townshin. Leavenworth county, the assessor has seen fit to value some nonresident land more than the owners ask for the iana. DTom the time the land changed from a resident owner to a nonresi dent owner the taxes have more than doubled and the increase is out of all proportion to the surrounding land. It might be misjudgment. If it is the assessor should be ousted from office on the grounds of incompetency. It might prove to be dishonesty taking the advantage of a person who ls not there to look after it. In the case at hand a widow woman, who has no other means of support, owns the land. An assessor who would wilfully betray a trust in such a manner by compari son of character would make a bank robber or a highwaymen look like a Sunday school superintendent. Mc Louth Times. A CHANGED ATTITUDE. President Roosevelt is now experi encing the most disagreeable part of his presidential term. The last three months of the president's incumbency of the White House marks the passing of a powerful ruler. Far more attention was paid to Secretary Taft in Washing ton than to President Roosevelt. This is a new experience with the president but it comes to every, occupant of the White House. The papers hailed Taffe visit to Washington as the "coming of a great man." For four years he will have innumerable favors to extend and hold in his hands a tremendous power over the fortunes of millions of people. while .President Roosevelt will have no more power than goes with the private citizen. Ambassador Bryce says, that the president of the United States Is the most powerful ruler of the earth during the period of his presidency. The man who is laying down this scepter and is shdrtly to become a private citizen as other men; who no longer has the power to extend favors or to deal punishment, Is not sought after as the man -who Is just coming into his power. The gradual change of the attitude which the multitude holds towards a retiring president com pared to that whirh existed a year pervious. Is the? saddest realization in the life of a president, and brings him his most uncomfortable experiences. It is also probably true that the an ticipation and hope- which fills the mind of the Incoming chief magistrate gives him the most supreme delight of any of the experiences in connection with holding the great office. The king is dead, long live the king, is an old maxim that is as true In this age as it was in the past. Salina Journal. FROM OTHER PENS SOCIAL REFORM AT WASHINGTON When President Roosevelt ad vocated an inquiry into the condition of living at Washington, especially among the less fortunate members of society, he was greeted with the usual number of jeers. The report of the commission appointed at his sugges tion proves now, however, to have much in it of value, not only to our congress when legislating for tho dis trict, but the persons interested in similar problems in other cities. The indirect method of remedying evils is the one in great part the com mission advances. For instance, with the evils of quackery, of nostrums and of adulterated foods, medicines and drinks one recommendation is that the postofflce department dis tribute bulletins along its route giving the facts about fraud orders and about prohibited, adulterations. Upon a showing of the amount of additional house room that could be provided almost one room to a family with the money now expended for tobacco and liquors, the commission recom mends the establishment of amuse ment centers and athletic fields which will, in rivalry to the saloon, tend to reduce the consumption of liquor. For the pawn shop evil, which ap parently is shown to be very serious in Washington, there might be sug gested on similar lines the establish ment of such a pawner's society as has produced beneficial results in Chicago, Chicago Record-Herald. newspaper" HONOR. Commenting upon the "feat" of a western newspaper that published, as a Washington dispatch, an advance summary of the president's recent message the Springfield Republican declares that: In view of the fact that copies of the president's message have been for some days committed to the honor of the press associations, there ls noth ing remarkable about the feat of the It is not a distinction to be coveted, however. It is to be hoped for the honor of American journalism, that the offending newspaper will be able, con vincingly, to explain its seeming dereliction. It is a singular tribute to the integrity of newspapers, so often criticized for questionable methods, that such a breach of faith should be so infrequent as to excite comment. For some years the expanding volume of public businuess and the de veloping of the newspaper field have caused the press associations to send out, far in advance, lengthy docu ments, or other matters of a public nature, for "release" at a specified date. Such a procedure is. of course, a display of the highest confidence on part of both author and distributer of such documents. A violation is viewed as one of the unpardonable sins of a newspaper's religion, and it is, hap pily, of rare occurrence. Atlanta Constitution. FOUND OUT.

Dr. Robert Simon, a distinguished French physician, member of the Therapeutical society of Paris and physician to the marine dispensaries of Paris, delivered an Illustrated lecture at Columbia university on the curative properties of sea water when used by subcutaneous injection. The use of sea water in this manner as a therapeutic agent is now general In France. The results obtained have been so gratify ing that Dr. Simon has come to Amer ica to explain to the faculties of the foremost medical colleges and to scien tific societies the method of nrocedure and the theoretical basis of Its employ ment, xie nas lectured at Harvard uni versity, and before the faculties and students of the medical colleges In Philadelphia. Although the sponsor for the sea wa ter cure does not assert that it is a specific for any ailment, he furnishes an extraordinary series of cases in which sea water either has cured the patients or modified their ailments. The cases treated and cured include a wiae range of skin diseases, the in testinal ailments of infants (with a re markable reduction in the death rate), as well as improvement in patients suffering from tuberculosis. Dr. Simon, as he explained in his lecture, is associated in his work with Pror. Quinton, the well known biologist. Quinton, it seems, is responsible for the theory which has resulted in the use of sea water as an active curative agent. Quinton is an exponent of the marine origin of life. He holds that the per fect medium of cell life existed in the sea, and has demonstrated the proof of this theory to his own satisfaction and that of other scientists. By experimentation. Dr. Simon says Prof. Quinton has proved the concen tration of life in fish as they exist in the ocean today. He maintains that the original condition of life persists In fish to a greater extent than in any other forms of animal life; that this is due to the fact that the fish live in wa ter, and that, therefore, sea water helps maintain good physiological conditions In man; in other words, there is a ten dency to maintain original marine con ditions. A remarkable feature of Prof. Quinton's experiments is that the same percentage of concentration of life was found In fish taken from fresh water as in those taken from the sea. The theory once established by Prof. Quinton, he and Dr. Simon began to in ject sea water in patients suffering from various diseases. New York Times. Great Naval Station. Information receH'ed here from Washington Is that Narragansett bay may become the greatest naval station on the Atlantic coast. The first act to ward this coming about was the order from Secretary of the Navy Newberry a few days ago consolidating the naval war college, naval training station, naval torpedo station, naval coaling station, naval hospital, and naval pay office in Newport under one- head, with Rear Admiral John P. Merrell, U. S. N.. as commandant, with the same of fice in connection with the second naval defense district. An immense naval dry dock will soon be finished in Narragansett bayt and with the dry dock there will come a large repair plant and other depart ments with it. Naval officers point with pride to the fact that Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, U. S. N., commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, could bring his en tire fleet into Narragansett bay tomor row, coal, water, and provision, and there would still be room enough in the bay for all the navies of the world to come in at any hour of the night or day. The fact is being called attention to that at the New York navy yard but one ship at a time may enter. The waters of Narragansett bay fur nish abundant room for important naval experiments of any character, and some of the most Important tests have been made here. Only a short time ago the war de partment sent a detail of officers to look over the lands about the bay, to ascertain if a larger camp for troops could be founded. After a week's work these officers have completed their task, and have forwarded a report to the department showing that there is ample room for camping 100,000 troops without the slightest difficulty, with excellent sites and abundant water from the numerous springs on both sides. of Narragansett bay. The members of the naval general board spent considerable time in secret meetings at the naval war college last summer, and the belief is that their mission had in part to do with the new and larger naval station In Narragan sett bay.

Amy -Sheldon, leaning idly over the steamer's rail, watched the crowd on the pier and wished, Just for a moment, that there had been an opportunity to get word to some of the people she could trust- This was all so different from her last sailing, and it brought more sharply to her memory the scene of two days be fore when she had given Dick Nesbit his ring and had declared that she hated the very sight of his face. She had last sailed in June, and the pier had been crowded, but until the very last she had seen Dick's smiling face framed in an indistinct blur of other faces. Now she would look in vain if, indeed, she looked at all. She had about decided to go to her stateroom until the boat should swing into the stream. She half turned to suggest- to her aunt that course of action, when she caught sight of Dick- making his way through the crowd about the gangway, and presently he came on board with a heavy suitcase that seemed to argue his determination to take passage on the Aurania. Amy half turned back to the rail, then she turned again and made her way to the lower deck, where she knew that the purser's office was located. Passing rapidly through the gangway she saw that it really was Dick, though he was in earnest conversation with a man in blue and brass, and he did not see her. He had his pocketbook in his hand, and, with flashing eyes, Amy made her way back to the upper deck, where her aunt still sat In the winter sunshine en joying the bustle that preceded the de parture. One of the most admirable things about Aunt Molly was her willingness to do what her tempestuous niece wished to do. but even the usually placid Aunt Molly demurred when Amy stormed up and demanded that they leave the ship at once. "But I've said- good-bye to the Brookes, and Mrs. Brookes is going to send all our mail In care of the London agent," protested the little old lady "We can't go back home after telling the Brookes that we were to be gone until fall. She will tell all her friends and "And that's Just the trouble," Inter rupted Amy with a stamp of her little foot. "Mrs. Brooke has been talking already. She must have gone to the telephone the moment we left last night and told everybody she ever knew." "But what will Dick think if you (Start and then turn back?" reminded Aunt Molly, determined not to give up i a spring !n the south of France with out exhausting every argument. "That's Just the trouble," explained Amy. "That horrid Mrs. Brooke must Illtt. V inncu HUH up labl 1115111. flLlCi promising that she would not tell a 1 II,.'.. 1, T V.

"You can buy tickets on board at the last moment. I suppose that Dick I mean Mr. Nesbit had to wait un til he could settle, about his practice being looked after; not that there is so much to the practice," she added spitefully. "I don't believe that he's been in court this month." "Is he altogether to blame for, that?" asked Aunt Molly, fencing for time in which to marshal other argu ments. "And suppose that I did let him waste a lot of time with me?" retorted Amy. "I've been' telling him for the last month that I was tired of seeing him about, and that our engagement was all a mistake." "Then I don't think that he Is fol lowing you," advanced Aunt Molly. "Dick is not the sort of man to fol low when he is not wanted. If he is on board, it is because he has to reach Europe by the first steamer, and he won't bother us in the least." "Because I shan't give him a chance," explained Amy promptly. "I am going down to the stateroom to have the steward take Our steamer trunks back to the dock. It is lucky that we arranged to have our other baggage follow. "But what will people say?" de manded Aunt Molly, as she rose ana prepared to follow her energetic niece. It was plainly to be seen that the trip was off, or at least postponed, and Aunt Molly knew the signs well enough to realize when resistance was useless. Amy, by dint of liberal tipping, managed to collect her things on the dock Just as the final warning sounded. For the moment It was use less to try and leave the dock. The port captain stood beside the remaining gangway ready to superin tend the, lowering of the last connec tion between the ship and the shore, and a line was stretched to keep back those who had not gone to the end of the pier to wave a last farewell. The sides of the ship were lined with eager faces, some smiling, some bedewed with tears. Aunt Molly stood guard over their belongings and looked wistfully at the fortunate ones on the decks. Just as the signal was given to hoist, Dick Nesbit appeared at the head of the gangplank and dashed down, his feet not touching the dock before the upper end of the plank was hoisted clear of the ship's side. He sprang lightly aside to escape the swaying edge of the chute, and In doing so almost bumped into Aunt Molly, who was making a brave en deavor not to look disappointed. The black bulk moved slowly past the open section of the shed, but Aunt Molly did not see it now. She was busy watching Amy and Dick. Nesbit, after a single glance at the frowning girl, devoted his conversa tion to Aunt Molly, with whom he was a favorite. "Did you get afraid of seasickness at the last moment?'.' he demanded gayly "I didn't even know that you were thinking of going abroad or I should have sent some flowers." Aunt Molly glanced triumphantly at Amy, but that crimson-cheeked young woman gave no sign that she had. heard the disclaimer. "I came precious close to taking the trip myself," continued Dick. "You know what a pest Fred Bentley al ways is when there is a wedding. He always wants to decorate the trunk and do all those things that aggra vate the bridal pair. "When it came to getting married himself, he was scared stiff, for he knew of a dozen chaps who had it in for him. He married Belle very quiet ly last night and came aboard this morning before daylight. Some re porter asked Ben Houghton about It, and we found that Fred was locked In his stateroom. "Trimmins. the purser on this ship, is a Jolly sort of chap. I've crossed with him three times, and I know him very well. The bovs got me to hustle down here with a lot of Junk in a suitcase. I gave Trimmins some money to tip Fred's cabin and saloon stewards, and Fred's going to get a dally hint from his vic-( AMUSEMENTS. At the Grand.

"I only wish that I could to see the fun," declared Dick with twinkling eyes. "If it hadn't been that I caught a big case last night I think I should have done so. I bet Fred's sorry by this time tomorrow that he ever heard of white ribbons and old shoes as decorations for trunks and hacks." Amy was watching the steamer swing ing into midstream with the aid of two bustling little tugs. Due irom tne corner of her eye Aunt Molly saw that the girl heard. "And speaking of hacks," ran on Dick. "Shall I get you one" Without waiting for an answer he tore off up the dock to retain one of the few waiting hacks, then hurried back to es cort Aunt Molly and the trunks. It was not until he had helped Aunt Molly Into the cab and had turned to show a similar courtesy to Amy that she spoke. i tnougnt tnat Mrs. urooKe toia you we were leaving on this steamer and that you were following me," she said hur riedly. "I am sorry that I was so silly, and yet I am glad, because I know now that it vras just because I was tired and silly that I broke the engagement.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUENAIr-FRIDAY HVENITO JANUARY 22,1909. STOODJYGUNS. Senate Kef uses to Change the Apportionment Bill. Effort to Amend Made on Behalf of Bourbon. LOSE A LEGISLATOR. At Same Time Allen County Gains One. The Pure Food Bill Has Easy Sailing. Two bills, one proposed by Senator Glenn, to reapportion the representa tive districts, and the other proposing amendments to the existing pure food law, prepared by the state board of health, were considered by the senate In committee of the whole late Thurs day afternoon. There was but little debate on pro visions of the bill during the afternoon session, with the exception of discus sion of a motion to reconsider the ac tion of the morning session, in taking away one representative from Bourbon county and giving it to Allen. This motion to reconsider was made by Senator Anderson of Bourbon county. He declared that according to the figures Allen county has only l.i34 greater norjulation than Bourbon county and he argued that Bourbon should not be deprived of a representa tive in order to swell the representa tion from Allen. Senator Travis, from Allen county, retorted that not onlv was Allen coun ty's population nearly 2,000 larger than that of Bourbon, but the assess ments in Allen county amounted to $28,000,000 annually, while the assess ments in Bourbon county amounted to about $14,000,000. To this state ment Senator Hodges took exceptions and drew the report of the secretary of state on the senator from Allen, which revealed that Allen county's assessments amounted to $2i, 2S2.0U0 and Bourbon county's assess ments amounted to a little over $25, 000.000. He urged that it was not a question of property, however, but a question of population. The motion to reconsider did not find much favor and was lost by a vote of 22 to 11. The remainder of the bill was con sidered -without any friction and at the close Senator Glenn moved that the bill be reported to the senate subject to debate only in respect to the dis tricts included in Shawnee county, and with the recommendation that the bill be passed. Senator Hodges' motion to strike out the enacting clause of the bill and Senator Hoffman's motion that the en tire bill be subject to general debate were lost and the motion of the sena tor from Greeley was adopted. As the bill left the committee of the whole It provides for taking away one representative each from Leaven worth, Jefferson, Brown, Osage, Franklin and Bourbon counties and adding one each to Seward. Haskell, Morton, Stanton, Greeley and Allen counties. The Pure Food Bill. There were scarcely any obstructions encountered in the consideration of the pure food bill in the committee of tbe whole. But a, little more than half an hour was taken up with debate on an amendment by Senator Anderson that the rules and regulations of the vari ous state and county health officers for carrying out the provisions of the act, be published in the official county pa pers as well as in the official state paper. After more than half the senators- had expressed their opinions on the question the amendment was final ly lost. This bill was also recommend ed for passage by the committee of the -whole. The committee started the consider- CHILD'S DREADFUL T SKIN ROUBLES Had Sixty Boils when but Six Months Old Was Annually Attacked by a Humor It Looked Red Like a Scald and Spread Over Half Her Head Both Troubles are Cured.

They cracked half way around and the humor spread up on to her head until, on several occasions, it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a ecald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every rear. I think it was toward the spring, always bathed it with warm water and Cutioura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out was when she-was six years old. It became bo bad that I was discouraged. Then I procured a bottle of Cuticura Resolv ent which Boon cleared it out of her blood. I continued the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment with the Resolvent until she was perfectly well. She is now about eight years old and has never been troubled in the last two years We also find Cuticura Resolvent a good spring medicine and we are just giving the children Cuticura Resolvent Pilii as a tonic.

MEMORIAL T0DRr WISE Oscar Straus and Jacob Scluff Speak at Dedication. Philadelphia, Jan. 22. The members of the union of the American Hebrew congregations have united In the dedi cation of a memorial window to the Jewish scholar, Rabbi Isaac M. Wise, at Temple Keneseth Israel. The win dow was designed by Sir Moses Ezekiel. Oscar S. Straus, secretary of commerce and labor, made the princi pal address and declared that Isaac Wise's influence upon American Juda ism was greater than that of any other man. Secretary Straus said: "Isaac M. Wise, derived his love for republican institutions from his study of the scriptures. His determined pur pose was in the words of Dr. Kraus kopff. one of his most brilliant and dis tinguished disciples, 'to educate a min istry for American needs a ministry not any less American, because Jewish and no less Jewish because American.' To carry out this purpose he founded the Hebrew union college at Cincin nati, to which he devoted nearly 50 years of his life until its very close Addresses on the life and influence of Dr. Wise were made by Dr. Jacob Schiff of New York and others. HUGHES PICKS A MAN. Nominates Frederick Wallis for Super intendent of Insurance. Albany, N. T., Jan. 22.

Secure Homes in the Territory of Road. Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. Another big- rush of homeseekers to western and southwestern parts of Its system is reported by the Santa Fe this week. In all seventy extra cars were used and nearly 3.200 people are spending- the week searching- for new homes along the Santa Fe. A remarkable feature of the home seeker passenger business Is the in crease which has been noticed since the favor of passes to immigrant agents and managers of land com panies has been abolished through the orders of the interstate commerce commission. On first thought this would seem to decrease the volume of business, but the reverse is true. How ever, the increase Is accounted for by the fact that the agents of land com panies now go after a higher class of business, those who are willing to pay their fares to the new country and are anxious for new homes. When the in discriminate use of passes was toler ated many would go just for the trip and the agents little carde whether they were carrying bona fide homeseekers or not. Three special trains were used to carry the homeseeking- passengers this week. The homeseekers come mainly from Iowa and Illinois territory and the country adjacent to these states. One of the specials was run in the in terests of the Associated Land com pany, which conducts large coloniza tion schemes for the Santa Fe terri tory. Another was under the direction of the George Paul Land company, a large real estate company dealing in Texas lands which has headquarters in Des Moines. The Soash company which has several offices in Illinois and Iowa was in charge of the other spe cial. Then in addition to these three trains four extra sections of No. 5 were run during the week, three through Topeka and the other over the cutoff. Fifty-two of the seventy extra cars needed for the homeseekers went to the Pecos Valley country, a majority of the passengers having Amarillo, Washburn, Texico, Carlsbad and-Ros-well as their destinations. Three carloads of homeseekers stop ped off at Garden City and other west ern Kansas points. There are exten sive tracts along the Santa Fe in the western part of the state which are still subject to homesteading and colonization. Nine cars went to Corpus Christi and the country along the south Texas coast. Six cars went to northern New Mexico via La Junta, where the Campbell system of dry farming is reclaiming some of the once arid territory. It has been estimated by a Santa Fe official, that forty per cent of the homeseekers eventually become resi dents of the Santa Fe territory to gether with their families. Taking this as a basis probably 1,280 of the homeseekers taken west this week will become residents of the western portions of the Santa Fe territory within a short time. The average family consists of four members, so that the results of this week's business will increase the population of this territory by nearly five thousand people. The Santa Fe today ran a special train through Topeka known as a Gates special, which carried seven cars of tourists, who are on a thirty days' trip through Old Mexico as far south as the City of Mexico. W. J. Curtis, traveling passenger agent and con ductor of excursions for the Santa Fe, accompanied the train as far as the Mexican border. FORT SCOTT SEES TIIIXGS. Frisco WU1 Probably Slake Improve ments In Tliat City. Fort Scott, Kan., Jan. 22. Em ployes of the Frisco over the entire system are rejoicing as orders aggre gating millions of dollars in improve ments and affecting every division of the road are ordered rushed to comple tion after a delay of over a year caused by the money stringency of a year ago. While the orders issued up to date have but little direct effect upon Fort Scott, it is expected that others will soon be issued, increasing the local force and again making the Frisco roundhouse and shops one of the prin cipal industries of the city. While no increase will be made at the present time at the roundhouse, the city will be greatly benefited in other ways, as a yearly contract was yesterday sign ed up between the Frisco officials and the management of the Eagle Foundry Machine company, a local institu tion, for all .of the moldings to be used at both Springfield and Kansas City, besides those used here. Before the financial panic these orders amounted to many thousands of dollars each month, at times going to $150 a day, but after the retrenchment but few orders were received. Thev are now to start again, and it will be necessary to increase the force at the foundry in order to handle them.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALS-FRIDAY EVENING JANUARY 22, 1909. HE CONCURS. President EooseTelt Sends Spe cial Message to Congress Endorsing Report of the Con f serration Commission. A CALL TO ACTION Is Made by Facts Set Forth in f the Report. It Is But the Beginning of Others He Says. 1 "Washington, Jan. 22. President Roosevelt today transmitted to con gress the report of the national con servation commission with a special message bearing thereon. The mes eaga follows: To the Senate and House of Repre eentatives: I transmit herewith a report of the national conservation commission, to gether with the accompanying papers. This report, which is the outgrowth of the conference of governors last May, was unanimously approved by the re cent joint conference held in this city between the national conservation commission and governors of states, state conservation commissions, and conservation committees of great or ganizations of citizens. It is therefore in a peculiar sense representative of the whole nation and all its parts. With the statements and conclu sions of this report I heartily concur, and I commend it to the thoughtful consideration both of the congress and of our people generally. It is one of the most fundamentally important documents ever laid before the Amer ican people. It contains the first In ventory of its natural resources ever made by any nation. In condensed form it presents a statement of our available capital In material resources, which are the means of progress, and calls attention to the essential condi tions upon which the perpetuity, safe ty, and welfare of this nation now rest and must always continue to rest. It deserves, and should have, the wid est possible distribution among the peo ple. The facts set forth in this report cbnstitute an imperative call to action, The situation they disclose demands that we, neglecting for a time, if need be, smaller and less vital questions. Khali concentrate an effective part of our attention upon the great material foundations of national existence, pro gress and prosperity. But the Beginning. The first inventory of natural re sources prepared by the national con servation commission is undoubtedly but the beginning of a series which will be indispensable for dealing in telligently with what we have. It sup plies as close an approximation to the actual facts as it was possible to pre pare with the knowledge and time available. The progress of our know ledge of this country will icontinually lead to more accurate information and better use of the sources of national strength. But we can not defer action until complete accuracy in the esti mates can be reached, because before that time many of our resources will be practically "gone. It is not necessary that this inventory should be exact in every minute detail. It is essential that it should correctly describe the general situation; and that the pres ent Inventory does. As it stands it is an irrefutable proof that the conserva tion of our resources is the fundamen tal question before this nation, and that our first and greatest task is to set our house in order and begin to live "Within our means. The first of all considerations ia the permanent welfare of our people; and true moral welfare, the highest form of welfare, can not permanently exist save on a firm and lasting foundation of material well-being. In this respect ur situation is far from satisfactory. After every possible allowance has fceen made, and when every hopeful Indication has been given its full weight, the facts still give reason for grave concern. It would be unworthy of our history and our intelligence, and disastrous to our future, to shut our eyes to these facta or attempt to laugh them out of court. The people ehould and will rightly demand that the great fundamental questions shall given attention by their representa--tives. I do not advise hasty or 111-con-eldered action on disputed points, but I do urge, where the facts are known, where the public Interest is clear, that neither indifference .and inertia nor adverse private interests shall be al lowed to stand in the way of the pub lio good. The great basic facts are already well known. We know that our population is now adding about one fifth to its numbers in ten years, and that by the middle of the present cen tury perhaps one hundred and fifty million Americans, and by its end very many millions more, must be fed and clothed from the products of our soil. With the steady growth in population and the still more rapid increase in consumption our people will hereafter make greater and not less demands per capita upon all the natural re sources for their livelihood, comfort, and convenience. It is high time to realize that our responsibility to the coming millions is like that of par- DRUG STORE OPEN ALL NIGHT Realizing the importance and need, in Topeka of an all night drug store, we have secured MR.

We know now that our rivers can and should be made to serve our neo- ple effectively in transportation, but mac me vast expenditures for our waterways have not resulted in main taining, much less in promoting, in land navigation. Therefore, let us take immediate steps to ascertain the reasons and to prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan for inland water way navigation that will result in giv ing the people the benefits for which they have paid but which they have not yet received. We know now that our forests are fast disappearing, that less than one-fifth of them are being conserved, and that no good purpose can be met by failing to provide the relatively small sums needed for the protection, use, and improvement of all forests still owned by the govern ment, and to enact laws to check the wasteful destruction of the forests in private hands. There are differences of opinion as to many public ques tions; but the American people stand nearly as a unit for waterway develop ment and for forest protection. We know now that our mineral re sources once exhausted are gone for ever, and that the "needless waste of them costs us hundreds of human lives and nearly $300,000,000 a year. Therefore, let us undertake without delay- the investigations necessary be fore our people will ne in position, through state action or otherwise, to p,ut an. end to this huge loss and waste. and conserve both our mineral re sources and the lives of the men who take them from the earth. I desire to make grateful acknow ledgment to the men, both in and out of the government service, who have prepared the first inventory'of our na tural resources. They have made It possible for. this nation to take a great step forward. Their work is helping us to see that the greatest questions Derore us are not partisan questions, but questions upon which men of all parties and all shades of opinion may be united for the common good. Among such questions, on the material side, the conservation of natural re sources stands first. It is the bottom round of the ladder on our upward progress toward a condition in which the nation as a whole, and Its citizens as individuals. will set national efficiency and the public welfare be fore personal profit. Typical of His Policy. The policy of conservation is per haps the most typical example of the general policies which this govern ment has made peculiarly its own dur ing the opening years of the present century. Uhe function of our govern ment is to insure to all Its citizens, now and thereafter, their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If we of this generation destroy the resources from which our children would otherwise derive their liveli hood, we reduce the capacity of our land to support a population, and so either degrade the standard of living or deprive the coming generations of their right to life on this continent. If we allow great industrial organiza tions to exercise unregulated control of themeans of production and the necessaries of life, we deprive the Americans of today and of the future of industrial liberty, a right no less precious and vital than political free dom. Industrial liberty was a fruit of political liberty, and in turn has become one of its chief supports, and exactly as we stand for political demo cracy so we must stand for the in dustrial democracy. The rights to life and liberty are fundamental, and like other funda mental necessities, when once acquir ed, they are little dwelt upon. The right to the pursuit of happiness is the right whose presence or absence Is most likely to be felt in daily life. In whatever it has accomplished, or fail ed to accomplish, the administration which is just drawing to a close has at least seen clearly the fundamental need of freedom of opportunity for every-citizen. We have realized that the right of every man to live his own life, provide for his family, and en deavor, according to his abilities, to secure for himself and for them a fair share of the good things of existence, should be subject to one limitation and to no other. The freedom of the in dividual should be limited only by the present and future rights, interests, and needs of the other individuals who make up the community. We should do all in our power to develop and protect individual liberty, individual initiative, but subject always to the need of preserving and promoting the general good. When necessary, the private right must yield, under due process of law and with proper com pensation, to the welfare of the com monwealth. The man who serves the community greatly should be greatly rewarded by the community; as there is great inequality of service so there must be great inequality of reward; but no man and. no set of men should be allowed to play the game of com petition with loaded dice. All this is simplv good common sense. The underlying principle of conservation has been described as the application of common sense to com mon problems for the common good. If the description, is correct, then con servation is the great fundamental basis for national efficiency. In this stage of the world's history to be fear less, to be Just, and to be efficient are the three great requirements of na tional life. National efficiency is the result of natural resources well han dled, of freedom of opportunity for every man, and of the inherent ca pacity, trained ability, knowledge and will, collectively and individually to use that opportunity. Some Tilings Achieved. This administration has achieved some things; it has sought, but has not been able, to achieve others; it has doubtless made mistakes; but all it has done or attempted has been in the sin gle, consistent effort to secure and enlarge the rights and opportunities of the men and women of the United. TTT. A I ve ait? irymg i o conserve what is good in our social system, and we are striving toward this end when we endeavor to do away with what is bad. Success may be made too hard for some if it is made too easy for others. The rewards of common in dustry and thrift may be too small if the rewards for other, and on the whole less valuable, qualities, are mad too large, and especially if the rewards for qualities which are really, from the public standpoint, undesirable, are per mitted to become too large. Our aim is so far as possible to provide such conditions that there shall be equality of opportunity where there is equality of energy, fidelity, and intelligence; when there is a reasonable equality of opportunity the distributon of rewards will take care of itself. The unchecked existence of monop oly is incompatible with equality of opportunity. The reason for the exer cise of government control over great monopolies is to equalize opportunity. We are fighting against privilege, it was made unlawful for corporations to contribute money for election expenses in order to abridge the power of spe cial privilege at the polls. .Railroad rate control is an attempt to secure an equality of opportunity for all men affected by rail transportation; and that means all of us. The great an thracite coal strike was settled, and the pressing danger of a coal famine averted, because we recognized that the control of a public necessity in volves a duty to the people, and that public intervention in the affairs of a public service corporation Is neither to be resented as usurpation nor per mitted as a privilege by the corpora tions, but on the contrary to be ac cepted as a duty and exercised as a right by the government in the interest of all the people. The efficiency of the army and the navy has been increased so that our people maV follow In peace the great work of making this country a better place for Americans to live in, and our navy was sent round the world for the same ultimate purpose. All the acts taken by the government during the last seven years, and all the policies now being pursued by the gov ernment, fit in as parts of .a consistent whole. Public Land Policy. Our public-land policy has for its aim the use of the public land so that it will promote development by the settlement of home makers; the policy we champion is to serve all the people legitimately and openly, instead of per mitting the lands to be converted, il legitimately and under cover, to the private benefit of a few. Our forest nolicv was established so that we mitrht use the DUblio forests for the permanent public good, instead of merely for. temporary private gain. The reclamation act, under which the desert parts of the public domain are converted to higher uses for tne -general benefit, was passed so that more Americans might have homes on the land. These policies were enacted Into law and have justified their enactment. Others have failed, so far, to reach the point of action. Among such is the at tempt to secure public control of the open range and thus to convert its benefits to the use of the small man, who Is the home maker, instead of al lowing it to be controlled by a few great cattle and sheep owners. The enactment of a pure food law was a recognition of the fact that tne public welfare outweighs the right to private gain, and that no man may poison the people for his private pro fit. The employers liability bin recog' nized the controlling fact that while the employer usually has at stake no more than his profit, the stake of the employe is a living for himself and his family. The Panama Canal. We are building the Panama canal; and this means that we are engaged in the giant engineering feat of all time. We are striving to add in all ways to the habitability and beauty of our country. We are striving to hold in the public hands the remaining sup ply of unappropriated coal, for the protection and benefit of all the peo ple. We have taken the first steps to ward the conservation of our natural resources, and the betterment of coun try life, and the improvement of our waterways. We stand for the right or every child to a childhood free from grinding toil, and to an education; for the civic responsibility and decency of every citizen; for prudent foresight in public matters, and for fair play in every relation of our national and ec onomic life. In international matters we apply a system of diplomacy which puts the obligations of international morality on a level with those that govern the actions of an honest gen tleman in dealing with his fellow-men. Within our own border we stand for truth and honesty in public and In pri vate life; and we war sternly against wrongdoers of every grade. All these efforts are integral parts of the same attempt, the attempt to enthrone jus tice and righteousness, to secure free dom of opportunity .to all of our citi zens, now and hereafter, and to set the ultimate Interest of all of us above the temporary interest of any individual, class or group. The nation, its government, and its resources exist, first of all, for the American citizen, whatever his creed, race, or birthplace, whether he be rich or poor, educated or ignorant, provided only that he Is a good citizen, recognizing his obligations to the na tion for the rights and opportunities which he owes to the nation. The obligations, and not the rights. of citizenship increase in proportion to the increase of a man's wealth or power. The time is coming when a man will be judged, not by what he has succeeded in getting for himself from the common store, but by how well he has done his duty as a citizen. and by what the ordinary citizen hasj gained in freedom of nnnnrtnn'tr r- cause of his service for. the common good. The highest value we know is that of the individual citizen, and the highest justice is to give him fair play in the effort to realize the best there is In him. The Nation's Tasks. The tasks this nation has to do' are great tasks. They can only be- done at all by our citizens -acting together, and they can be done best of all by the direct and simple application of homely common sense. Th application of common sense to common preblens for the common good, under the guid ance of the principles upon' which this republic was based, and by virtue of which It exists, spells perpetuity for the nation, civil and industrial liberty for its citizens, and freedom of oppor tunity In the pursuit of happiness for the- plain American, for whom this na tion was founded, by whom it was pre served, and through whom alone it can be perpetuated. Upon this platform larger than party differences, higher than class prejudice, broader than any question and loss there Is room for ev ery American who realizes that the common good stands first. The national conservation commis sion wisely confined its report to the statement of facts and principles, leav ing the executive to recommend the specific steps to which these facts and prinicples inevitably lead. According ly, I call your attention to some of the larger features of the situation dis closed by the report, and to the action thereby clearly demanded for the gen eral good. Control of the Waters, The report says: "Within recent months it has been recognized and demanded by the peo ple, through many thousand delegates from all states assembled In convention in different sections of the country, that the waterways should and must be Improved promptly and effectively as a means of maintaining national pros perity. "The first requisite for waterway im provement is the control of the wa ters in such manner as to reduce floods and regulate the regimen of the navi gable rivers. The second requisite is development of terminals and connec tions in such manner as to regulate commerce." Accordingly. I urge that the broad plan for the development of our water ways, recommended by the Inland wa terways commission, be put in effect without delay. It provides for a com prehensive system of waterway im provement extending to all the uses of the waters and benefits to be derived from their control. Including, naviga tion, the development of power, the ex tension of irrigation, the drainage of swamp and overflow lands, the preven tion of soil wash, and the purification of streams for water supply.

The work of waterway development should be undertaken without delay. Meritorious projects in known con formity with the general outlines or any comprehensive plan should proceed at once. The cost "of the whole work should be met by direct appropriation if possible, but if necessary by the Is sue of bonds in small denominations. It is especially important that the development .of -'Watejr power should be guarded with the utmost care both by the national government and bj .he states In order to protect the people against the upgrowth of monopoly and to Insure to them a fair share in the benefits which will follow the develop-ment-jOf this great asset which belongs to tlia people and should be controlled by them. Protection of Forests. I urge that provision be made for both protection and more rapid de velopment of the national forests. Otherwise, either the increasing use of these forests by the people must be checked or their protection against fire must be dangerously weakened. If we compare the actual fire damage on similar areas or private and na tional forest lands during the past year, the government fire patrol saved commercial timber worth as much as the total cost of caring for all national forests at the present rate for about n years. I especially commend to the con gress the facts presented by the com-: mission as to the relation between forests and stream flow in its bearing upon the importance of the forest lands in national ownership. Without an understanding of this intimate rela tion the conservation of both these natural resources must largely fail. The time has fully arrived for recognizing In the law the respon sibility to the community," the state, and the nation which rests upon the private owners of private lands. The ownership of forest! land Is a public trust. The man who would so handle his forest as" to cause 'erosion and to injure stream flow must be not only educated, but he must be controlled. The report of the national con servation commission says: "Forestsin private ownership can not be conserved unless they are pro tected from fire. We need good fire laws, well enforced. Fire control is impossible without an adequate force of men whose sole duty is fire patrol during the dangerous season." I hold as first among the tasks be fore the states and the nation in their respective shares in forest conserva tion the organization of efficient fire patrols and the enactment of good fire laws on the part of the states. The report says further: "Present tax laws prevent reforesta tion of cut-over land and the per petuation of existing forests by use. An annual tax upon the land itself, exclusive of the timber, and a tax upon the timber when cut is well adapted to actual conditions of forest investment and is practicable and cer tain. It is far better that forest land should pay a moderate tax per manently than that it should pay an excessive revenue temporarily and then cease to yield at all." Second only In importance to good fire laws well enforced is the enact ment of tax laws which will permit the perpetuation of existing forests by use. Lands for the People.' With our increasing population the tlms is not far distant when the problem of supplying our people with food will be come pressing. The possible additions to our arable area are not great, and it wlli become necessary to obtain much larger crops from the land,: as is now done In more densely settled countries. To do this, we need better farm practice and better strains of wheat, corn, and other crop plants, with a reduction in .losses of soil erosion and from insects, animals, and other enemies of agriculture. The United States department of agriculture Is doing excellent work in these directions and it should be liberally supported. The remaining public lands should be classified and the arable lands disposed of to home makers. In their interest the timber and stone act and the cons muta tion clause of the homestead act should be repealed, and the desert-land law should be modified in accordance with the recommendations of the public lands commission. The use of the public grazing lands should be regulated In such ways as to improve and conserve their value. Bights to the surface of the public land should be' separated from rights to forests upon it and to minerals beneath it. and these should be subject to sepa rate disposal. The coal, oil, gas, and phosphate rights still remaining with the government should be withdrawn from entry and leased under conditions favorable for economic development. Waste of Minerals. The accompanying reports show that the consumption of nearly all of our min eral products Is increasing more rapidly than our population. Our mineral waste is about one-sixth of our product, or nearly $1,000,000 for each working day in the year. The loss of structural ma terials throutrh fire is about another mil lion a day. The loss of life In the mines is appalling. The larger part of these losses of life and property can be avoided. Our mineral resources are limited in quantity and can not be increased or re produced. With the rapidly increasing rate of consumption the supply will be ex hausted while yet the nation is in its in fancy, unless better methods are devised or substitutes are found. Further investi gation is urgently needed In order to im prove metnoos ana to aevexop ana supply substitutes. It is of the utmost importance that a bureau of mines be established in accord ance with the pending bill to reduce the loss of life in- mines and the waste of min eral resources and to investigate the methods and substitutes for prolonging the duration of our mineral supplies. Both the need and the public demand for such a bureau are rapidly becoming more ur gent. It should co-operate with the states in supplying data to serve as a basis for the state mine regulations. The establish ment of this bureau will mean merely the transfer from other bureaus of work which it is agreed should be transferred and slightly enlarged and reorganized for these purposes. Conclusions Readied. The joint conference already mentioned adopted two resolutions to which I call your special attention. The first was in tended to promote co-operation between the state and the nation upon all of the great questions here discussed. It is as follows: Resolved, That a Joint committee be appointed by the chairman, to consist of six members of state conservation com missions and three members of the na tional conservation commission whose duty it shall be to prepare and present to the state and national commissions, and through them to the governors and the president, a plan for united action by all organizations concerned with the conser vation of natural resources. (On motion of Governor Noel, of Mississippi, the chairman and secretary of the conference were added to and constituted a part of this committee.)" The second resolution of the Joint con ference to which I refer calls upon the congress to provide the means for such co-operation. The principle of the com munity of interest among all our people in the great natural resources runs through the report of the national conser vation commission and the proceedings of the joint conference. These resources, which form the common basis of our wel fare, can be wisely developed, rightly used, and prudently conserved only by the common action of all the people, acting through their representatives in state and nation. Hence the fundamental necessity for co-operation. Without it we shall accomplish but little, and that little badly. The resolution follows: We also especially urge on the congress of the United States the high desirability of maintaining a national commission on the conservation of the resources of the country, empowered to co-operate with state commissions to the end that every sovereign commonwealth and every sec tion of the country may attain the high degree of prosperity and the sureness of perpetuity naturally arising in the abun dant resources and the vigor. Intelligence, and patriotism of our people. In this recommendation I most heartily concur, and I urge that an appropriation of at least $50,000 be made to cover the ex penses of the national conservation com mission for necessary rent, assistance, and traveling expenses. This is a very small sum. I know of no other way in which the appropriation of so small a sum would result in so large a benefit to the whole nation. THEODORE ROOSEVELT..

Playing Pool for Money Makes No End of Trouble Keeper Is Arrested for Run ning Gamhing House. FIGHT WAS STARTED. Man Who Had Lost Money Not a Good Loser. John Bodin Plays Hide and Seek With Officer. In a game of Kelley pool in which money got so- much action as to excite and infuriate the players at the Metropoli tan pool hall last night a row occurred and drew the attentions of Patrolman Leach who took charge of W. M. Craig and X. A. Gordon and called the station bringing Detective Sauls and Driver Palmer who arrested Chaa. Rener, the proprietor, and C. O. Shumate, an as sistant. Rener is charged with keeping a gambling house but the player's have claimed that he am not Know tne men were playing for money. Craig, Gordon and others were playing with Shumate at a rear table and Shumate seemed to have it all his way, getting some $15 to the good when Craig and Gordon began to win and had reduced the pile of Mr. Shumate to practically an en trance fee when he flew off. That last two-bits looked large and sound and the thought of his reversed fortunes as he saw the winning snot made, was tin controllable and he Jumped for the pocket with the money, defying the world to regain it. This seemed a cinch to the others fired by indignation and the demon stration had gotten into lively pro gress when the officer was attracted to the place. The Metropolitan pool hall is at 406 Kansas avenue, In the first floor of the building where there was trouble at the Metropolitan dance the other night, Shumate was first charged witn dis orderly conduct as were the other play ers but later a warrant was drawn which holds him for gambling. The trial of them all is set for the 25th of the month. John Bodin, whose unity of place as a badly shattered commodity in the mind of Patrolman England, was nevertheless rounded up into one cor ner and gathered in by that officer last night after several hours of the to and froness which nearly brought distraction to an otherwise serene soul. John was drunk In the several various ways, but cocaine and dollar five seemed to have the most marked effect, in fact his drunk was so mixed that he did not know whether to be vicious, to be friendly and make pres ents of his watch and clothing, to laugh and sing, grovel in the mud, or to break something. From his ap pearance he had tried them all but all the time he eluded the officer, until finally he decided he wanted in the Rock Island storehouse and stood beating on the door. When first heard from John was whooping it up for King Oscar or somebody else on the river side, but as England got near, the noise ceased and there was nothing to tell where it had gone. A little later, however, the same noise broke out up Kansas ave nue at the other end of England's beat and it was an exultant Viking who watched the approach of the. of ficer always drawing him on by a new hoot of owlish pleasure. But he was gone again and beating on a window down a block asking for cigars. This sudden coming out and disappearing got to be too much of a hide and seek affair, and rather harmless, but soon Bodin attacked the storehouse with evident displeasure and was there 15c Wing Collars, 5c L. M. Penwell Undertaker and Embalmer 511 Quiocy Street Both Phones 192 captured. Drunk and disturbing the peace hardly tell the fun he had but that is what he did and will answer for to the police judge. George Kaberllne, Jr., whose father instigated his "trow over" of a bottle neck to kill Anton Lamprccht in Little Russia several days ago, was brought to the police court on a warrant by Anton and fined S5 this morning. The father and son were both in the "trow ing," but the first warrant was for Just the old man. He was fined $9 which was such sweet revenge that the vie-' tims wished to further despoil the Kaberline treasury by helping the city to another $5 today.

In days of yore the famous Pie Jordan, then a lad with bare legs, rode old Cornelius to the water trough and dreamed of days to come when he hoped to be able to avoid such men as Chief Eaton. But Pie has been captured, is a guest of Warden Haskell and the horse of his father is in the desiccating works. A Bohemian from Cuba came into the police station this morning with sorrow for himself but no words to express It. He talks something which is different de cidedly but managed to disclose that Tie had lost money. The reporter motioned for his name and he reached for the pen cil and paper. What he put there is on exhibition. It sounded like Klishklash zellen. The amount lost was found to be 25 by means of figures which he rec nlzed. and It was lost between Sixth and Eighth avenues on Kansas avenue. That he was a farm hand was learned by husking imaginary corn, digging foolish ditches, and milking a brindle cow. Cuba is in Kansas.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING JANUARY 22, 1909 7 n I M 4 1 IT IS SERIOUS. Japanese Problem in California Excites Much Concern. Senator Knox Is Mating a Study of the Question. JAPANESE ARE THERE And More Coming All the Time Says Senator Flint. It Is a Matter That Must Be Settled Some Time. Washington, Jan. 22. "Is the situa tion in California as serious as would appear from the published dis patches and the activity of the ad ministration in endeavoring to sup press the anti-Japanese legislation?" Senator Flint of California, was asked today. "Yes and no," replied Senator Flint reflectively. "I don't think there is any danger of a break with Japan at the present time. Neither do I think that any hostile legislation will be passed now by our legislature, but the question is one that will have to be dealt with in the future. "There is no doubt that the Japanese are still coming to this country in large numbers. I know that many people are giving out figures to prove the contrary, but the Japanese are there and their number is growing. Senator Knox is concerning himself with the Japanese situation with a view to becoming thoroughly con versant with the subject. He regards the question as one of great mo ment requiring infinite delicacy and tact in approaching a solution. He considers the question one that can be disposed of at this time and one that is liable to come to the surface again and again as Japanese labor comes into conflict with American labor on the Pacific coast. NAVAL INCREASE ITEM. Stays In the Bill as Passed in Spite of Opposition. Washington, Jan. 82. When the house today resumed consideration of the naval appropriation bill the mem bers were primed for the usual fight over the increase in the naval estab lishment. Speaking In support of an amendment by Mr. Finley, (S. C), striking out the battleship provision, Mr. Bartholdt, (Mo.), declared that if there ever was a time when such an appropriation was unwise and un necessary it was now. "It is unneces sary," he said, "-because we are at peace with all the world." He would have congress provide for the necessities of the peaceful de velopment of the country. "There is," he declared, "something besides the big stick, which secures our na tional peace." Representative Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, vigorously attacked the programme for naval increase, attributing the present Japanese agitation to the desire to have the naval programme adopted. He declared there was no danger of trou ble between Japan and the United States and that without a naval base in the mid-Pacific. Japan could do lit tle damage to this country. He con tended that Japan could not impose a farthing more of tax without creat ing a revolution in that country. Mr. Tawney in his remarks predicted a deficit of J125.O0O.00O for the present fiscal year and of $143,000,000 for the next. Replying to Mr. Tawney, Mr. Hep burn, Iowa, found reason for the in crease of the navy in the warlike char acter of the American people. Kvery generation of Americans, he said, has had its war and probably the next gen eration would have its. The Finley amendment, was defeat ed, as was also an amendment by Mr. Burton, Ohio, to limit the naval in crease to one battleship. The house then sustained the com mittee provision of the naval bill call ing for two battleships and refused to strike out the provision for five tor pedo boat destroyers. RUTH BRYAN SUES. Files Petition for Divorce In Court at Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 22. Ruth Bryan Leavitt, daughter of William J. Bryan, today filed suit for divorce from Wil liam H. Leavitt. The petition was im mediately withdrawn. x. o. Alien, orocner-m-iaw oi Mr. Bryan, is the attorney for the plaintiff. V Leavitt is now in Paris. The reason given in the petition is alleged nonsupport. To minimize pub licity the attorney exercised a com mon privilege of taking back into his possession the documents in the case. The suit Is not withdrawn. SMALLPOX SCARE. Negro Janitor in House of Representa tives Has the Disease. The state officials and legislators had a big scare today when it was an nounced at noon that Joe White, one cf the -negro janitors of the state house, had been quarantined today for smallpox. The lower rooms of the state house were fumigated this afternoon. White performed his duties at the state house up to yesterday evening, hut was confined to his home today when his sickness was pronounced to be smallpox and he was quarantined. COPELAND INSURANCE. Adjusters Allow Kail Amount of Claim, $41,000. A. H. Chrisst, Milton Welsh and M. W. Van "Valkenburgh the insurance adjusters on the Copeland hotel loss, completed their work this afternoon. The full amount of insurance, $41, 000, held by twelve companies, was paid over to J. C. Gordon, proprietor. Originator of "Patent Insides" Dead. Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 22. Andrew J Aikens, aged 80 years, general manager and part owner of the Evening Wisconsin of this city, died today. He had been a newspaper man for about 65 years and connected with the Evening Wisconsin ot this city about 55 years. He was the originator to 1863 of "patent Insides" for newspapers; STATE FAIR BILL Jewett of Sedgwick Introduces Compromise Measure. Leaves Location to Be Settled at Later Date. SELECT BY BALLOT. Would Be Agreed Upon in a Joint Session. Commission Headed by Gorer nor as Managers. By agreement between Wichita and Topeka representatives, Jewett of Sedg- ick today presented In the house of representatives the state fair bill printed below. The bill was drawn by the state fair commission of this city and is an admirable document. The demand over the state Is for a state fair, one to be established and built up to the same class as that of all the other western states. This bill pro vides for such a fair and the selection of the place of holding the same is to be decided upon In joint session of the house and senate five days after this bill has been passed. Wichita and Topeka will favor this plan, while Hutchinson wants whole hog or noth ing, which is to say a state fair at Hutchinson or no state fair at all. The following comprise the Import ant points of the Topeka state fair bill introduced today: That for the purpose of exhibiting the agricultural, stock breeding, hor ticultural, dairy, mining, mechanical, industrial and other products and re sources of the state including, proper exhibits of the arts and sciences, a state fair to be known as "The Kansas State Fair." shall be held in the state of Kansas during the year 1909 and annually thereafter. That the Kansas Ktate Fair shaU be located at some convenient and suit able place within one mile of the cor porate limits of some county seat In the state of Kansas, by the 1909 leg islature or the state ot Kansas in the following manner: Both bodies thereof shall meet in joint session within five days after the passage and approval of this act, in representative hall and shall proceed to select a site for the location of said State Fair. If the said joint meeting shall be un able to select a site for the holding of said state fair upon the first day, it shall adjourn from day to" day until tne selection of the site for holding the Kansas State Fair has been, determined. That the Kansas state fair shall be managed by a commission to be styled "The Kansas State Fair commission." of which the governor of the state, the secretary of the state board of agricul ture and the president of the State Agricultural college shall be members ex-offlclo. Said commission shall be composed of nine other members to be appointed by the governor on or be fore the first day of April, 1909. of which commission three, members shall hold their offices for a term of one year, three for a term of two years, and three for a term of three years. ine memDers or the commission, for attending the meetings of the commis sion and for actual work pertaining to the holding of the state fair, shall be allowed tour dollars ($4) per day, and five cents per mile in going to and re turning from the place where the busi ness is transacted, the claims for which shall in all cases be verified and paid as provided for the payment of other DU13. Said commission shall purchase the tract of land selected by the legislature for the location of the state fair, and shall not pay therefor a sum to exceed one dollar ($1). The title to said land shall be approved by the attorney gen eral of the state of Kansas, before the same shall be accepted by the legisla ture. That there is hereby appropriated out of any money in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the erection and construction of buildings upon said fair grounds, and for the equipment thereof.. and for the improve ment of said grounds and buildings thereon, the sum of one hundred and forty thousand dollars ($140,000); for in surance on the buildings on the grounds the sum of $1,000; and for the payment of any deficit which may occur, if any, in the fund of the commission for ex penses and premiums for the year 1909, the sum of nine thousand dollars ($9, 000), or so much of said sums as shall be necessary; and the auditor of the state shall draw a warrant thereof upon the order of the commission, signed by the president and secretary thereof; it being provided, however, that no part of the sum of $9,000 appropriated herein to cover deficits shall be drawn by the commission unless the same is actually needed to cover a deficit which has act ually accrued on account of the ex penses incurred by the commission In holding said state fair.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING JANUARY 22, 1909. PULL TIGHT LINES Representatives Take Action on Anti Lobby Measure. Effort to Except Home Folks in the Bill Fails. SOME SLASHING DOXE. Sections Providing for Filing "Expense Account" Killed. Only Two Votes in Opposition at the End. The house spent practically all of the session of Thursday afternoon in de bate over the amending of the anti lobby bill. Nearly every third line in the bill was amended, but when it had passed through the cog wheels it was till a terror to lobbyists. Only two members voted against it on final roll call, and they were, Brighton of Mont gomery and Reeder of Doniphan. Neith r of these members would stand for the Section that classed their farmer and worklngmen constituents when they came to Topeka to boost for measures that were calculated to benefit their section of the state with the profes sional lobbyist. The bill as passed is calculated to keep all lobbyists away from the capi tol as effectually as would a yellow fever sign, the good and the bad alike. Not only are all wicked corporations barred from sending their agents to the legislators with invidious offers of sold and favor, but the farmers who want a good roads bill, the working men who want labor laws, the citizens who want local dispensations, the com mercial clubs that want state fairs and other blessings, all these must regis ter in the rogue's gallery in the office of the secretary of state. After they have qualified by the Bertillon sys tem and laid bare the secrets and Joys and sorrows of their lives they can proceed merrily to lobby the members by the wireless system and the dear mute language. The effort may cost them $1,000 each and a few years in Jail, but this is a small matter. In the meantime, while the honest citizens are having such a time in try ing to get the ear and attention of their representatives, the real, dangerous lob byists will take chances and ply their vocations as usual. One thing, while the representatives were building a fence round themselves warranted to be lobbyist high, tight and streng, while they were cutting out the agents of the corporations and the Importunities and advice of their own constituents at one stroke, they took care to pass a bill that did not prevent members themselves from lobbying for or against any measure. Foley of Rice, in the debate, said: "This bill is calculated to legalize lob bying by the members while It forbids such practice by outsiders." "That is it exactly," murmured a prominent Republican member who had tried in vain to get through an amend ment forbidding the members from lob bying. After the bill had passed, McCormick of Crawford, in commenting on it said: "The people refused to raise our sal ary at the election last fall when they voted down the amendments, so we have played even by conferring the privilege of lobbying upon ourselves alone hereafter." The bill as amended had several of the stingers in its original draft re moved. Lobbying is forbidden only during the sessions of the legislature and not the year 'round as at first pro posed in the bill. In registering in the "lobby docket" the provision requiring lobbyists to state the compensation they receive was stricken out. Only "certain" facts are to be written in this docket about the lobbyist's business af fairs, where "all the facts" were re quired before. The fine for violation of the law was cut from $5,000 to $1,000. The following two sections of the bill were cut out entirely: "Sec. 8. Within thirty days after the final adjournment of the legislature every legislative agent who shall have registered as provided by section 4 of this act, shall file with the secretary of Clearing SALE Cut prices and bargains on all small lots and clean-ups.

"Sec. 9. Any person who shall wil fully and knowingly make a false statement of any material fact In the verified statement provided for In sec tion 8 of this act, shall be deemed guilty of perjury in the third degree, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished as is by statute in such case made and provided." Brighton Makes a Point. Brie-hton of Montgomery introduced an amendment providing that the act not apply to any person or com mittee from home that came to To peka to confer or advise with their representative regarding legislation that affects their section. The Caney editor made a strong speech in sup Dort of his amendment. The debate on the motion continued for an hour and was led by Buckman and Mitchell on the side of the amendment and Cunningham and Stone of Shawnee as ooposed to it. Judge Buckman made an eloquent plea for his con stituents, while Mitchell of Douglas made the finest speech of the debate in his effort to dissuade the members from ruining an already effective anti lobby bill by barring the "home folks' from the right to confer with their representatives. "We had better stay here in Topeka." he said, "if we do not pass this amendment, for we will not be received well at home." The amendment was defeated. Ryan of Brown, Edwards of Green wood, Matson of Sedgwick, Cranston of Labette were among the other members who took an active part In the debate of the bill. Foley of Rice got through the last amendment as follows: No person other than a representative or sen ator shall, on the floor of the house or senate, attempt to influence legisla tion while the legislature Is In ses sion". The house did not adjourn until 6 o clock p. m. On motion by Ryan of Brown the bill on legislative apportionment was made a special order in the house for next Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 McCormick of Crawford, and not Cranston of Labette. Is the author of the initiative and referendum bill, as has been stated erroneously before. Boyd of Republic is an old timer for true, but he wears well. He served in the Kansas house twenty-two years ago, and by the way, occupied a seat then In the same place he has now. He was the only Greenbacker in the body then and there were only twelve Democrats on the floor at that time. Boyd was elected last fall in a county with 700 Republican majority. Speaker Dolley announced the fol lowing additional committee: Assessment and taxation Guilbert of Logan, Buckman of Cowley, Snyder of Leavenworth. Mercer of Chase, Carpen ter of Lyon, Fehr of Reno.

Fair at Huthinson Only. The first of the state fair bills was introduced in the house by Morgan of Reno on behalf of Hutchinson. The measure provides for the establishment of a state fair at or near the city of Hutchinson to be under the direction of the state board of agriculture. It provides that within sixty days after the passage of the bill the state board of agriculture shall meet in the city of Hutchinson and decide whether or not the proposition made by the Central Kansas Fair association, the Hutchin son Park association and the people of Reno county have complied with cer tain requirements and if so it shall take immediate possession of the fair grounds and improvements and hold a fair there in 1909. The Hutchinson proposition is as fol lows: The city will donate to the state 126 acres adjacent to the city Improve ments there. Then the bill asks for an appropriation of $90,000. the money to be turned over to the state agricultural board to be used in developing and im proving the grounds. For the year ending June 30, 1910, a total of $50,000 is asked for and $40,000 in 1911. Topeka and Wichita will present state fair bills this week, indeed the Topeka measure will likely be present ed today and it is a more patriotic and broader bill than that introduced by the Hutchinson representative. The Topeka bill provides for the establish ment of a state fair, the site to be de cided later in Joint session. If Topeka gets it well and good; if not, why there will still be a state fair. The Hutchin son bill is selfish. It calls for a fair at Hutchinson or none at all. Bills in the House. The following bills have been Intro duced in the house: H. B. No. 229.

Will Not Ask a Pardon and Do Not Want One. NOTHING TO RETRACT Seyerely Criticise the Action of the Court. At Risk of Again Being De clared in Contempt. Washington, Jan. 22. "We have not asked and will not ask for clemency, and we hope our friends will not urge us to pursue such a course. To ask pardon would render useless all the trial and sacrifice wnicn our men of labor and our friends in all walks of life have en dured that the rights and liberties of our people might be restored. Such a pardon would only leave the whole case in confusion and it would have to be fought over again from the be ginning." This is some of the language used in a statement signed bv GomDers. Mitchell and Morrison in the current number of the American Federation list in formal protest against the ac tion of Justice Wright in sentencing them to imprisonment for contemDt or court in tne Bucks stove and Range company case, December 23. 5 oamuei Gompers heads his state ment "Judge Wright's Denial of Free fepeech and Free Press" and he de Clares "We will not 'bate' a single word or take a letter back." Mr Gompers refers to the "intemperate and vindictive spirit displayed bv the Justice" and to "this tirade of judicial abuse and misrepresentation" In a separate statement but he joins with Messrs. Mitchell and Morrison in de daring that they would not "enter into competition with the honorable court in tne use of Invective, rancor or scathing denunciation," and that they should protect "against the court's unprecedented and unwar ranted flagellation of the cause and of the people we have the honor to represent. That the trio of labor leaders fully understand the responsibility they as sume in making their statement is shown by their declaration that even though they may be held in addition al contempt "we are willing to accept the consequences. It may be neces sary to the preservation of the lib erty of the people that a judge should be disobeyed. Judges sometimes usurp power and become tyrants. Diso bedience to a tyrant is obedience to law. When a Judge issues an inJunc tion like that in the Bucks Stove and Range case it is the Judge who defies the law and not the citizens who re fuse obedience to his injunction man dates which would deprive men of their constitutional rights." The statement enters into a close analysis of the famous case and it i asserted that Mr. Mitchell was not present at the labor meetings which directed the circular "letters attacking the Bucks stove and Range company: that he did not sign or have knowledge of Its circulation. It is asserted that Mr. Gompers removed -the name of the firm from the we don t" patronize" list as soon as the injunction became operative and had no intention to defy the order of the court by its discus sion. Finally, it said: "We are not disre spectful to the courts 'when we protest against -a wrong decision, rather are we helping the courts to maintain their proper dignity by pointing out when a judge steps from the path of digni ty and right and Justice." LIKE A PERFECT LADY. May Robson Testifies to Proper Con duct of Mrs. Gould. New Tork. Jan. 22. Another deposi tion in the case of Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould, who is suing How ard Gould for a separation on the ground of cruelty and nonsupport, has been filed. It was that of Mav Robson, the actress, and was taken before a referee appointed by the supreme court. Miss Robson deposed that she had known Mrs. Gould for five or six years and had been her guest at Castle Gould and at several luncheons. While in Philadelphia in October, 1908, she had attended a supper at the Bellevue Stratford given by Mrs. Gould. She had met there besides Mrs. Gould, Miss Selb, Miss Shackford and Dustin Far num, the actor. The witness was asked whether she had remained with Mrs. Gould that night but said she could not be positive although she recollected occupying a twin bed with Mrs. Gould on one occa sion. The day after the supper which was on Saturday she said she again saw Mrs. Gould and that night had some thing to eat with her. She did not re member whether Farnum was there that night, but thought he was. "Next day, she said, our party, in cluding Farnum, motored down to At lantic City and went to a hotel. Mrs. Gould had a headache and stayed in her rooms, while we went out on the Free, Free A large handsome Pic ture Frame given to each purchaser of one pound of our famous Baking Powder. See Window Display Grand Union Tea Go. 704 Kansas Avenue. board walk.' Triat night we all dined in jjirs. ouid-s rooms. I don't remem ber whether I slet with Mrs. Gould that night or not." "Did you witness any misconduct on the part of Mrs. Gould with Mr. Far num on any of these occasions?" asked Clarence j. Bhearn. counsel for Mrs. Gould. "Why," replied Miss Robson "I saw absolutely nothing that was not lady like and correct in every detail. They were just iriendly. We were all friend ly together."

STUBBS TELLS WHY. Can Not Compromise State by Accept ing New Freight Schedules. Governor W. R. Stubbs refuses to accept the freight rate compromise proposed by the railroads. He has given out the following statement: --Rererring to the press reports which state that the governor was op posed to a compromise through which there would be a reduction in- freight rates in Kansas from ten to fifty per cent on grain, live stock, lumber, coal, salt, etc., I will say that these reports may be more or less misleading to persons who do not know all the facts in the case. "The proposition made by the rail road companies did not Involve any substantial reduction in rates on any large volume of traffic, except cattle and lumber, and in return for this re duction this administration and the railroad board were to be tied hand and foot with reference to all future regulation of freight rates in Kansas until a permanent change in commer cial or traffic conditions occurred in this state. The following language was used in the proposition submitted to the governor: Prior to entering upon such a conference the railroad companies de sire to know that the freight rate ad justment thus arrived at will be recog nized by the board of railroad com missioners and yourself as satisfac tory, so far as local. Kansas distance tariff rates are concerned, and to be permanent until changed commercial or traffic conditions, warrant a furth er revision thereof.' "This provision precluding any pos sibility of the railroad board or the present state administration from making any further efforts looking toward freight reductions was a sac rifice of the rights of the state which could not be considered from my point of view."

COSTS $100,000 A DAY. Italy Is Caring for 200,000 Victims of Earthquake. Rome. Jan. 22.

Would Hare Permanent Grades All Oyer the State. LAY STONE IN COURSES Put Large Flat Ones in the Bottom.' Scouts the Suggestion of Auto mobiles Damaging Roads. Since the good roads movement has attracted so much attention in the I state City Engineer John P. Rogers of Topeka, has developed his ideas along this line and they are Ideas that have been enriched by years ot practical experience and study, in an Interview with a State Journal re porter this morning, Mr. Rogers told of the many Improvements that could be made In Kansas highways and the great advantages offered by the local conditions In this, state. City Engineer Rogers' first idea Is to establish a permanent grade for all road work In the state or at least In 1J. 5n the bwels of the earth that will resemble the great Roman roads transferred to Kansas. The fol lowing process will make the best road ever built in Kansas at the small cost and it is within the means of every interested person to follow out the plans: Rules for Good Roads. 1. Run levels over territory, make an active profile, ascertain watersheds, space requirements for good drainage, locate the natural drain,- establish a line of permanent grades and when all of these technical processes have been drawn up the next and the most im portant act is to file them with the register of deeds of the county. There they can be used as a regular refer ence and will be invaluable to coming overseers if the established grade line is to be followed and this Is necessary for good roads. 2. Prepare a roadbed by grading. Where excavations are necessary pre pare a receptacle for the material. Sides should be excavated out of firm earth either by back furrowing or re moval of surplus material from road bed or by firmly banking against the sjdes. Let this be followed by tamping and rolling. 3. The header course to be of firm earth and the edges of the road main tained as against travel. Give a good crowning slope of at least one-half inch to the foot. 4. The bottom course should con sist of heavy rock laid flat or coarser stone not less than four inches In thickness. This to be rolled, packed and allowed to dry before the second layer is spread. 5. The second course to be of broken stone or "gravel packed and rolled for the desired height of the road when finished. This laid directly upon the layer of flat stone. 6. Then comes the last course the finishing course composed of a sufii- As Mr. Rogers Would Build Them. AT THE BIG SHOW Three Thousand People Attend Midwinter Exposition. Equal to Record ot Early Days Last Year. GOOD BILL IX SIGHT. The Vaudeville for Next Week Promises Well. Four Acts Are at Manager Bainter's Call. The attendance at the Midwinter ex position last night numbered some thing over three thousand. This is not the record attendance of the exposi tion thus far, but it was sufficient to bring the attendance up to the same total for this time a year ago. This is a good showing and demonstrates that the Midwinter, is not losing in its pop ularity from year to year, but is on the other hand winning new friends with each year's exposition. The weather thus far has been against the management. Last year the first week was favored with especially fine weather.- and that the crowds are equal thus far this year when the weather has The Clown With Douglass Douglass at the Midwinter Next Week. BIG GUT IN PRICES On all Winter Goods a good time to buy Come and See The Toggery been so disagreeable is noteworthy. One feature of the Midwinter this season is the fact that there is no fric tion between the exhibitors and th3 management. Everything is running as smoothly as a canoe on a still lake. The exhibitors are reporting more in terest on the part of the patrons. They declare that they are receiving belter results, that the people take more or ders, and that they are deriving more nnanciai returns on their investments than ever before in the history of the Midwinter expositions, which extend over a period of eight years. The management has made a decid ed hit with those upon whom they de pend for patronage, by the steps which they have taken to preserve order. Rowdyism has been eliminated this year. The police have had little to do. There are no cases of disorderliness or pickpocketing, which has been fre quently carried on in large proportions. TO STOP GAMBLING.

Cragun of King man, vice chairman, and J. G. Strong of Marshall county, secretary. The committee is composed of the follow ing members: Judge P. B. Gillette of Kingman. William G. Gambill of Leav enworth, P. R. Nagle of Stafford, E. D. Stafford of Butler, H. A. Russell of Marshall and J. C. Barnes of Pratt. It is thought that if the trouble can be warded oft this year that condi tions will be adjusted so that there will be no difficulty in securing sufficient funds for maintaining the high schools in these counties in future years. The committee called on Governor Stubbs, and reported their mission to him. He was found to be in sympathy with their plans. Joe Letter Under Surgeon's Knife. Chicago, Jan. 22.

The purchaser is Mrs. Charlotte F. Wilder, of Topeka, the widow of the late Edward Wilder. XEW HIGH SCHOOL LAW. Plbn to Relieve Counties Which Have County Institutions. Representatives of the forty-seven counties which were recently affected by the supreme court's recent decision regarding the Barnes high school act, met. in me otnee ot E. T. Fairchild, state superintendent of public instruc tion, and took steps to draw up a law allowing the counties affected to col lect the money raised by the levy for the maintenance of high schools for the current year. A committee was Fancy Vest FREE WITH EVERY Suit 0R 0'Coat MADE TO ORDER NO i C NO MORE t) JL JP LESS As Long As They Last STEP IN AND LOOK The same as you pay your regular tailor $25 and $30 for (World's Largest Tailors) 532 Kansas Avenue 532 Harry Miller, Manager the districts. He said that the Irregu lar and corrugated condition of the grades was the cause of such a dilap idated and uneven condition of the roads of the state at the present time. One man will have charge of the roads and he will establish his grades and while in charge he will follow out more or less the grades he set. But when the next man comes to the helm he has ideas of his own and with hun dreds of dollars and more or less brains he changes the whole scheme and practically makes a new road. This continual change of road beds is the ruination of permanency in good highways and Mr. Rogers gave as his first rule for good roads "a competent overseer who will follow an establish ed competent grade." After a road is once constructed and the travelers watch it go to ruin they wonder what is the cause why such a vast amount of money spent for a road that crumbles away and is worthless in a few years? The whole trouble is that the average road is not constructed with an idea of perman ency. They are made for the time be ing and when the-itewness wears off and the natural decay commences the overseers and thea users gradually abandon It and leave it to the inevit able doom of a Toad'that Is unused. Mr. Rogers made an interesting statement today when he said that the more a road was used the better and the longer It would last. He eaid that nothing would ruin a road like abandonment. "This brings up the question of smoothness," said Mr. Rogers, "a smooth road will last for ever. As long as the surface can be kept in good level condition there is no fear for its misuse and its failure.'' The city engineer, gave out tne opin ion that as soon as roads are finished in this country they are left to work for themselves until they iau away nrA Kacrin h.Anmn perforated with small holes and miniature washouts. Then Is the time for the road over seer to grab his tools and make the repairs at once. The common mis take that people make in using roads over the country is to travel heavily on the dirt roads in the dry weather and then when the rains and wet weather sets in to transfer their traf fic to the macadam road.i and use them as an emergency only. This Is a very bad mistake. The more the road is used the smoother it will be worn and the harder the packing. A macadem road should be used every day in the year and to let it lie as a luxury will spoil it in the course of a few years. An asphalt pavement would crumble In ten years if there was no travel to keep it worked out and in good condition. Summing up some of the advan tages Mr. Rogers said that the life of a road depended upon four things the drainage, the material, the smoothness and the supervision. Drainage Is Important. The drainage is very important. The drainage is the seat of govern ment in a roadway it is the govern ment of the base. The first thing should be the condition of the side ditches. These waterways require the best of maintenance. Water should never be allowed to stand along the sides of the road as it softens the base and soaks into the foundations crum bling the sides and- weakening the strength. Then comes the impor tance of a sharp crown on the road way. This is the greatest means of drainage and safety to the condition of the road. The slope of the crown should be at least one half an inch for every foot. In a twelve foot roadway the crown would be six inches. And in this connection the city engineer mentioned the value of good bridges and culverts. He said that nothing was more valuable to a good road than a concrete or stone culvert and a bridge built likewise. Steel and wood bridges are more ex pensive than the best of concrete in the end. In 'fact the best of steel is worthless unless it is re-enforced ma terial. As a side ipsue Mr. Rogers said that the general road law In Kan sas was of no practical use to the road makers. The environments differ in such a degree that the general law has little value. In speaking of the material for a road the engineer said that native limestone and gravel was the best that Kansas could provide and it is as good as anything in the world. Cementing gravel is mighty good and is the only kind recommended by Mr. Rogers. He said that the free gravel was no good. It is too hard to pack and will always remain as regular cobble stones with no smoothness. It could be used with advantage together with an asphalt or tar filler but this would refer back to the big cost of a modern pavement. Taking up tne wnoie matter or con structing a good road. Mr. Rogers gave out a set of instructions mat should De cut out of this paper and stuck in every family Bible; These Instruc tions will represent a tonic or a pre serintion that can not be equaled until something new and more substantial cient quantity of crusher dust to fill out all voids.' This should be thor oughly sprinkled, then rolled and packed to the finished grade and the roads is completed. Special attention should be given the first three months to the smooth ness of the road. Mr. Rogers men tioned all through the interview the advantage of a smooth surface. In talking of the kind of travel on the average Kansas road, Mr. Rogers exploded one of the pet theories of the road makers over the state. There has been consistent talk of the treacherous work of the automobile in tearing up the roads of the state. Mr. Rogers said this morning that this was a fool ish idea. Nothing cuts up and ruins a road like the average narrow tired farm wagon and the heavily loaded spindle wheels of the buggies and. car riages. It is true that an automobile does more or less suction work, but if a road is built according to the above prescription and kept in good order there will be nothmg for the automo bile to destroy. Mr. Rogers made the suggestion this morning that if the legislature wished to improve the roads in Kansas they would take a great step toward the improvement by requiring wide tire wagons. This will do more to keep roads after they are made and make roads after they are kept than any other manner or means. The last rule that the efficient city engineer made was -do not spread a small amount of material over such a large.terrltory. This is a common and a. bad mistake. Mr. Rogers is an en thusiast over the good roads proposi tion and he is always ready to discuss the matter with any interested person.

Rich, red blood Is generally under stood to be necessary to health, but why rich, and why red? Healthful blood must be red be cause the blood is the carrier that conveys to the organs and tissues of the body all the nourishment that they receive. If it is weak in the ele ments they require, the tissues are starved and sickness results. Again, healthful blood must be red because that color indicates blood well charged with oxygen and oxy gen cleanses the blood of impurities. When the oxygen is used up the Blood nn a hlne tint ana is useless until its oxygen supply has been re newed. Thin, weak blood gives rise at once to many serious symptoms for it hin ders the working of every part of the body. Without pure blood the diges tion is imperfectly performed, dys pepsia follows, and consequently the tissues fail to receive their proper nourishment and become weak and unable to do their work. The wastes from the worn-out tissues are thrown into the blood which is unable to cleanse itself because of the lack of oxygen. The nerves become starved and extremely sensitive. Growth and development in the young are delay ed. The final result of impure blood is always a weak, run-down system poisoned by its own wastes and de fenceless against the attacks of dis ease. This condition leads to years of suffering unless the quality of the blood i3 built up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enable the blood to absorb oxygen, enrich and cleanse it of injurities. They are, there fore, the most direct cure for such blood diseases as anaemia, rheuma tism, general debility and the after effects of the grip and fevers. The nower of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to health throueh their blood- building property is well shown in the case of Mrs. G. B. Szink, or nn Jinn avenue. Altoona, Pa., who says: "I began to suffer with anaemia when I was seventeen years of age anrl was confined to bed for about nine months. My sickness came on in the spring and I think it was due to overwork for I had always been a healthv erirl until this trouble. I was so weak and exhausted that I fre auentlv fainted away. I was color less and had no appetite. My stom ach was very weak. I had pains in my stomach and through the back and was constipated. I was always chilly and could not seem to get warm. My heart pained me and I had smother ing spells when I had to be propped up in bed. My right side seemed to be paralyzed for I had no feeling in it. One day I got out of bed and In trvine to walk around the room raint ed awav. I had headaches that made me po sick to my stomach that I would feel like vomiting but was un able to do so. I often had dizzy spells when everything seemed to spin be fore me. I was feverish and out of my head part of the time. "The doctors' medicine did me no good although I was treated by a lo cal doctor and later by a specialist from Philadelphia. They said I would go into consumption. But one day mother found a booklet about Dr. Wiiliams' Pink Pills and wanted to give them to me but father was skep tical. We finally got him to buy a box and then another and while on the second box I began to feel better. I continued taking them until I was well." A helpful booklet, "Diseases of the Blood." giving more information about anaemia will be sent free upon request. If you are suffering from im poverished blood you cannot afford to wait another day before giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a thorough trial. They are for sale by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady. N.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUItN AL FRIDAY EVENING JANUARY 22,1909. 11 TO SAVETHE FISH Warden Curtis Wants Present law Amended. Would Hare Sale of Kansas Fish Prohibited. HARD TO GET PltOOF. Must See Man Use Spear Before He Can Be Arrested. Stringent Laws With Reference to Dynamite and Seines. If D. S. Curtis, deputy state game warden, has his way the "game hogs" of Kansas will have to bury their fishing spears, their nets, their blast ing outfits and their traps until they have decayed In the ground, and then If they refuse to make gentlemen of themselves they will bo sent to the penitentiary and serve out the maxi mum penalty. Mr. Curtis is In the city today talk ing to members of the legislature and he is here In the interests of the little and the large fish who are swimming under the ice in Kansas streams to day looking with suspicious eyes at the dark forms that sneak around ov er the roors of their domiciles. There Is something that appeals to the bet ter nature of mankind when a man of Mr. Curtis' ability spends his time day and night roaming around over the country, plodding all night along the winding rivers and damp creek beds looking for the beasts who call themselves human beings and who cut holes In the ice to drive the swarms of fish to a creek or river bend and then spear them with heartless hand. Heartless Fisherman Ways. Mr. Curtis has just returned from a week's hunt along the southern Kansas streams and he has found the cruel holes in the ice and he has found the game hogs with their fish speared and bleeding, but the law does not allow him to deal with the men when they do not have the tools in their possession. The manners and means of these "sportsmen" who spear fish in the winter time all over the state is enough to appeal to the legislature and cause some action to be taken by them for a remedy. The average fish erman of this kind works in far away places on the creeks and rivers over the state. Sometimes he works in the night time by torch light. He does anything to get away from the law and from the wardens who are always on the lookout but who are absolutely unable to cover the territory that the fishermen do. They start at a point In the river and pounding the ice they drive the fish in swarms up the river to the point where the slaughter takes place. When the swarms have been corralled and the fish have been cor nered these men drop their spears in to the water and as fast as they can extract them they pull the flopping struggling fish from the water and throw them into a sack in preparation for market. Then the spears are care-, fully hidden and the fish are piled in to wagons and taken to the towns for sale. There is not an ounce of sporting blood in this class of game- hog. They rob the Kansas streams of their In habitants for the pure purpose of mak ing money and the whole thing with them is a cold blooded money mak ing proposition. Like all evaders of the law they sneak and sk.lk dur ing their work and when they meet the wardens they falsify and do any thing to hide their guilt. It Is for the annihilation of such a class of men and for the protection of the fast dis appearing fish in Kansas that Mr. Cur tis Is working today and he has a thousand followers in the state whose idea. are mutual and who are aching for some law that will deal at once with these men who are taking an ad vantage of an opening in the law and exterminating the careful labors of the fish wardens. Wants Law Oianged. Mr. Curtis' idea is to have the law changed in such a way that it will not be necessary for the production of the tools and weapons of the "fish hogs" in order to make the evidence sufficient for conviction. His idea is to amend the present law by making it possible to convict a man who has speared fish, who has been caught With the fish upon him and who sells them at market. This resembles the regular game law and would require the same action on the part of the officials who are trying- to preserve the game in the state and keep it from utter extermination. He would have the sale of fish pro hibited entirely for five years. The present law reads that the only lawful way to fish is with a rod and Aline and fish hook, a hand line or a set T-Slne. But every year there are thou sands of pounds of fish caught in the state by men who patrol the streams with nets, traps, and dynamite. It is almost impossible for the small boy to bend a pin and dig up a worm to ob tain his fun like in the times when Whltcomb Riley was making history. And the average business man who de sires to stop his work and with the rod and reel spend a quiet day on the creek or river bank has given up his pursuits until he can travel to foreign streams and hook fish. This does not mean that the streams of Kansas are losing their stock of fish to such an alarm ing degree but the general influx of "fish hogs" who make it a business to catch the fish has spoiled the sport of the man who fishes because he likes it the man who feeds ten times as many fish as he catches and who throws them back in the stream before he goes home because he hates to clean them ad the fish are none the worse for the xperience. Fishing in Kansas has grown to be a business proposition and the recreative scent has been pushed to other lands. There are streams In Kan sas today that are alive with craw dads and water snakes while the fish cuddle under some protecting root 'waiting for the hourly passage of the deadly seine and the daily shock of the little brown jug filled with lime. But the fish of Kansas are going to have their defenders. This line of defense Is going to be under the charge of Dep uty Warden Curtis whose footsteps on the banks of Kansas streams are a signal for celebration and recreation among the citizens of Flnville. Sir. Curtis' Remedy. The FYiend of the Fish, in an inter view -with a. State Journal reporter to day, has some excellent Ideas stored away for the annual plea before the legislature and they are bound to re ceive a respectful attention from the law makers. His proposed rules for fishermen are as follows: From the passage of the law until the end of five years it would be a crime to sell any flBh to a market procured tfroxn local waters. It would be allow- WANTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ADS. OFFTCIAIj ANXOTT?TCErENTS. NATE B.

A sale of them would place a man in grave danger of convic tion. After this five years had passed there would be a limit on the amount of fish caught. No one man would be allowed to pull more than 25 pounds from the Kansas streams. Mr. Curtis suggested these laws in connection with the snear amendment which would pro vide for the right to arrest a man who had speared fish in his possession or who attempted to sell fish that had been killed or caught in this manner. The result of such amendments as suggested by the deputy fish warden can be readily seen, in nve years tne streams in Kansas would be completely restocked with fish and when the season opened again at the end of five years the oldest of weedy bank fishermen would laugh at their former tales of wonderful deeds performed with the rod and line. Fish develop very rapidly and in a few years without the continual drain from the "fish hogs'" and the cold blooded annihilation from the dealers they would fill the "holes" of the small est stream and make the small school boy and the tired out business man live in dreams and happiness. This fish situation In Kansas is no dream. The wardens are not spending their time these cold days and nights searching along the Kansas streams for fun. They are doing their best to cor rect the evil but when they attempt to enforce the law without the benefit of the law they have an Impossible duty to perform. Kansas streams are naturally the homes of the best good old-fashioned "gamy" fish in the world and a holiday on the bank of a Kansas stream is worth a hundred days in the cool hills of a summer resort. But without pro per legislation Kansas will lose her fish. lose her valuable streams, lose her sportsmanlike men and the water snakes and "craw-dads" will take pos session of the one time resort of the men who appreciate what the Maker has given.

Snattinger TO FIND THE POLE. Am Eskimo Thinks He Knows Just How to Io It. New York, Jan. 22. Not only will Mene Keeshoo. the young Eskimo who Is the sole survivor of a band brought here by Commander Peary in 1895, remain' in this city to study civil en gineering, but when he completes his education he intends to head a polar expedition himself. Being an Eskimo, Menee naturally thinks he is well fit ted lo endure the hardships of the far north. According to Harry W. Rad ford, an explorer, whose interest in Mene has resulted in the plan to give lilm an education, says that the boy talked of his hopes and the failure of white men to discover the pole. He is Quoted as follows: ""The explorers who are trying to find the North Pole now don't know how to do it. They fit out comfortable ships with a crew of fifty, carrying electric lights and things to make life pass pleasantly up there, where they know it will be lonesome. They stay in a comfortable harbor until spring and then make a dash to see how far they can go. When the summer is over they start back home, and when they return write books and magazine articles. "The North Pole will never be dis covered In such a way. The man who finds it will go as far as he can in one season and make a permanent camp there until the next season. Then he will continue on his journey, and in such a way he must 'succeed. That's what I want to do. Not only do I want to be the first man to find the pole, so that the honor will go to one of my own race, but I want to explore the vast unknown tracts of Greenland, which contains more country unknown to man than any other land. With what I know of my race, their lan guage, folksongs and customs, I want to study thier origin. I remember the stories of the mythology of my people, told me when I was seven years old, before I was brought to this country, and I am sure that if I have the op portunity I can write a history of the Eskimos- of Greenland that may show the relation between my own people and the other races better than it has ever been done." MAN FOR SALE. Advertisement Appears in Classified Column of Newspaper. New Tork, Jan. 22 The following ad vertisement appears this morning in the "For Sale" column of a metropolitan dally. "For sate A man. 43 years old, 6 feet 7 inches tall; weigh 160 pounds; Constipation Caused By Indigestion Is Cured by Helping the Stomach Do Its Work as It Should. All forms of constipation, bowel or Intestinal trouble owe most of their origin to the improper digestion of food. The bowels measure SO feet. The inside walls or surfaces are wound tightly about with millions of nerves. These nerves give life and control millions of little mouths or suckers which are supposed to take nourish ment from the food as it leaves the stomach and passes along this 30-foot human canal. When indigestion, dyspepsia or stomach trouble occurs, the food be ing undigested, passes over these mil lions of mouths, it is a fermented de caying mass and holds no nourishment as it should. The little mouths suck it up. im part these impurities to the blood, im pregnate the little nerves with poison and so the work of constipation and bowel trouble begins. A natural juice or secretion belongs normally in the little cells and glands along the mucous membrane of the 30-foot canal or bowel. When indiges tion occurs this juice is lacking and so the mass of waste matter can not pass alor.g as it should and is piled up and caked in the bowel thus bring ing pain and misery. After a while the nerves and nerve centers which give vigor and life to the bowel become paralyzed, thus forever prohibiting the bowel from performing Its natural duties. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, when taken after meals, digests the food properly even though the stomach is sick and it passes to the bowels nour ishment and juices, which help the in testines not only to do their work at once, but builds them up, restores vi tality to the nerves, brings new secre tion to the glands and cells, helps bowel action and enriches the blood. The stomach is the cause. Common sense and scienct are one on this point. You see it yourself. One little grain of Stuart's Dyspesia Tablets will per fectly digeEt 3,000 grains of food. The assimilation of a meal by one of these tablets is an easy matter and it keeps the stomach clean and sweet so that in a. brief time this organ is restored.

The bitter opposition of a large number of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' association now holding its annual meeting here, to the policy of the fed eral government on forest reserve, bids fair to disrupt the entire organization. It is probable that three of the largest horse and cattle growers' association of the state will withdraw from the main body today and it is likely that they will be joined by many others. The two factions locked horns to day over the preparation of a mem orial which is to be presented to the legislature and which commends the action of Governor Shafroth for his direction to the attorney general to prepare a bill that will allow suits to be brought to determine the exact powers of the federal government in the state. The memorial asks that these cases be carried to the United States supreme court and the matter settled finally. WANT OLD WAGES BACK United Hebrew Trade Unionists Are Planning a Strike. New Tork. Jan. 22. Members of the United Hebrew trades, numbering 150,- 000 workers in Greater New Tork, will hold a mass meeting on next Monday night to discuss means of bringing about a restoration of the wage scale that existed prior to the financial pan ic. If their demands are not granted a strike is contemplated. A statement by the secretary of the United Hebrew Trades said after issuing a call for the meeting: "The 60 trades represented have suf fered great reductions in wgaes. and the general revival in Industry which is now taking' place makes it impossi ble for all trades to take action toward restoring the normal wage scales. I believe that it will be necessary to or der strikes in all trades in which re ductions have taken place." HOBOES CONVENE. First National Assemblage Meets in St. Louis. St. Louis, Jan. 22.

Chicago, Jan. 22. Battling bravely against an adverse fate which seemed determined to prevent her marriage, Miss Isabelle Spartz of Kenosha coun ty, Wisconsin, has finally triumphed and is now Mrs. Phillip Neu. The couple was to have been married a week ago yesterday, but while mak ing arrangements for the marriage feast Neu was injured by a runaway horse. AVhen he regained conscious ness after five hours he found two of his ribs were broken. When .he re covered sufficiently to go to the church for the wedding, he drove over to the home of Miss Spartz. As Miss Spartz got into the carriage she said: "Do you think the wedding will be a go this time, or are you going to have another runaway accident?" Neu, still suffering from fractured ribs, assured her he was determined to be married if he had a walk to the church or be carried on a stretcher. Half an hour later the horse shied and upset the carriage, throwing the couple into a ditch. Fortunately neither of them was seriously injured. Leaving the runaway animal to de molish the buggy, they walked to the church. Bob Evans to Tell of Trip. Chicago, Jan. 22. Admiral "Fight ing Bob."

Callen, Editor of the Pittsburg Kansau, Attacks the Prohibition Law of the Sunflower State. FOISTS OUT SAUNA And His Own City as Horrible fixamples And Tells His Hearers That There Are Others. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 22. The second session of the second annual conven tion of the National Model License league, began today with addresses on the subject of regulation. Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee was one of the speakers. Dr. J. F. Callen, editor of the Pitts burg Kansan, took up the line of argu ment at the afternoon session, dealing with "Prohibition vs. Temperance." "The liquor question," the speaker said, "belongs in politics; it has the same right there that the tariff ques tion has; it is a national question, not a (iuestion that can be determined in a vested meeting, or even in one state legislature and it should be governed and regulated from the head of the nation. The United States owns every drop of liquor and beer in the country today. There is not a distiller in the state of Kentucky, or any other state, that dares to make me a present of a gal lon of whisky today, that cost him to make and store twenty-five cents, un less he first pays Uncle Sam SI. 10, and the state, or states, that set up laws to prohibit the sale of this product are in a measure boycotting, not only a product of the eovernment. but a product that paid in the forty years at ter the Civil war over fifty-seven per cent of the entire cost of the war, or in other words, eighty-three per cent of the combined cost of the navy and pension departments. "If the federal government needs the revenue it collects from liquor. It should lend its protection to the man who dispenses the product and who pays the government tax. "Prohibition Is not a temperance movement as applied to the sale and use of stimulants. Prohibition move ments seek to wipe out the legal sale of all alcholic stimulants and beverages that is. If we are to believe the advocates of the cause who are stumping the Country. But prohibition does not mean that, out in Kansas where I live. Prohibition out there moans graft. The prohibition law out there is the power that upholds graft and enables dishonest officials to play fast and loose with the 'jolntists.' "I believe state wide prohibition would never be mentioned if it were generally understood by our people, that prohibition is but the name for a law that takes the sale of liquors out of responsible, hands and places it in the hands -of men who are desper ate enough to defy the. law,, that instead of nrotectine the young from the temr- tation to drink, it brings the vilest decoctions to the' Very shadows of the home and that there is no way to pro tent the vouth from the influence of the boot-legger who is here today and there tomorrow -who has no responsi bility, and whose only aim like that of many of his more respectable Drotners, is money, only money. "If it should be more generally un derstood that the quantity of liquor consumed is as great or greater in a prohibition state than in others: that there is no regulation oi tne sales or of the quantity of the stuff sold, no revenue to the state rrom sucn sales, in prohibition states,' and that often the prosecutor becomes persecutor who al ternately protects and prosecutes. "Prohibition means not temperance but lawlessness, and the more power ful the movement becames and the more numerous its advocates, the near er we approach the reign of anarchy and outlawry." Dr. Callen discussed the effect of the anti-liquor law in Kansas, particular ly in Salina and Pittsburg. As a tem perance movement, he said, prohibi tion in Salina is a failure, both mor ally and financially, and the end is not yet. This was true of other cities in the state, he asserted. TO CONTROL AUTO RACING. A New Organization Launched of Foreign and American Firms. New York. Jan. 22. A new body to control automobile racing in this country was launched here yesterday at a meeting of seven foreign manu facturing firms and a number of prom inent American, manufacturers. Only temporary organization was perfected, but a committee was appointed to notify the manufacturers who will participate in the coming Chicago meeting and it is expected that the organization will soon be made per manent. Manufacturers have felt for some time the need of uniform racing ruleo. The Automobile Club of Amer ica will continue to be the governing body so far as racing is concerned but the club is limited in authority to sanctioning of internal events, which leaves open a field for another gov erning body. ROOSEVELT LET HIM OFF. So tiie Dntch Minister Attended Dinner of Holland Soeiety. New York, Jan. 22. John Kerr Louden, the minister of The Nether lands to this country, was one of the principal speakers at the annual din ner of the Holland society at the Waldorf-Astoria for which more than 400 descendants of the early Dutch settlers of New York assembled. Mr. Loudon said that he was able to be present at the dinner only through an incident typical of President Roosevelt. Ex plaining this, he said that being a diplomat he had been Invited to at tend a function at the White House, an invitation which he could hardly refuse without embarrassment. In his predicament he went to the president, and explained the situation. With characteristic emphasis, he said, the president struck one hand with his fist and replied: "A dinner of the Holland society by all means, go." Kansas City and Return $1.35.

VICTORIOUS WASHBURN. Opens Basketball Season by Defeating William Jewell. The Washburn college, basketball five celebrated the opening of the sea son in true Washburn style by taking the long end of a score of 36 to 18 in the contest with the William Jewell team of Liberty, Mo. The score of the game is somewhat deceptive for it aoesn t represent its fierceness. The first half was as closelv fouerht as the Missouri vote for lieutenant governor at the fall election, Washburn emerg ing with one point to spare. The score was 16 to 15. In the second half the Sons of Ichabod realized the seriousness of the occasion and proceeded to smother the Missourians. William Jewell did little better than nothing. Washburn, how ever, rallied as the game progressed and added twenty points in the final session. There was considerable wrangling at the game, due to tendency of Umpire Clark, who hails from Liberty, to atone ror tne deficiencies of the Wil liam Jewell five in his decisions. This was very naughty of Mr. Clark, but it didn t help the cause of the Mis sourians much. It didn't look very well to the spectators for it caused endless debates between Mr. Clark and Cap tain Hope of the local five, who knows as much about rules as any or them. Hope was the star of the game. His throwing of field goals and goals from free throws netted more points than the entire Missouri contingent. At center McCarroll, recently of Philadel phia, did creditable work, but only played in the first half. Foster, one of the new members, played a strong de fensive game at guard, while Spud Murphy, who played center in the sec ond half played the game well. Wal worth and Bishop also showed up strong as trouble producers for Wil liam Jewell. For the Liberty team, the two for wards, Gardner and Morley, did the best work. Both were dangerous men and required the undivided attention of certain of the Washburn players at all stages of the game. Johnson at center played a strong game. The next game on the Washburn schedule will be played at Lawrence next Saturday night against the Jay hawkers of the university; The game ought to be a close one. Kansas de feated William Jewell by a score of 33 to 15, while Washburn s score was 3 6 to 18, practically the same.

Glass Case Containing Model of Frigate Constitution Is Moved. Washington, Jan. 22. The large gla(ss case containing the model of the old frigate Constitution and the engrossed petition signed by over 30.000 patriotic citizens asking for the preservation of the old warship has been removed to the museum at the Washington navy yard. For the past three years it has oc cupied a conspicuous place in the big reception room of the secretary of the navy and proved of great interest to the visitors. The monster petition was the re sult of a general protest of people n New England against the sugges tion of Mr. Bonaparte, then secretary of the navy, that the old ship Constitu tion was not fit for further repair and ought to be destroyed. The movement for the preservation of "Old Ironside" resulted in the en actment of legislation for the repair anil preservation of the historic old relic. She is now at the navy yard, Boston. classed as- "unserviceable for war purposes." HE FOUND ELLEN STONE. Guide Wlio Conducted Rescuing Party is Dean. Roswell,, N. M., Jan. 22.
