It PLENTYJFWHEAT Secretary Wilson Declares the Supply of Grain At Normal Prices Is Sufficient for Country's Demands. CONSUMERS WILL PAY For the Present Manipulation of Prices, He Says. Defends Government Report Against Attack by Bulls. Washington. April 17. "There is suffi cient wheat in the country at normal prices to make bread for the Americans up to the time when the new crop comes in," declared Secretary of Agriculture Wilson today, "and those who attempt to keep prices up at present rates, ex pect to get their money out of the com mon people the consumers." Secretary Wilson's statement was made in reply to criticism of J. A. Pat ten of Chicago, of the crop reports of the department of agriculture. Mr. Patten not only discredited the depart ment's estimate of the wheat crop, but said that the supply of wheat was scarcer than the government's esti mates show. "The reporters of the department of agriculture are farmers living on farms, and know if anybody knows, and have knoweldge if anybody has knowledge of the facts," declared the secretary. "We can not whistle these men down the wind. If we seek an honest class of community and hesitate to take the words of the American farmers, we will not establish truth by going to the gamblers. "The large majority of wheat has left the hands of the farmers," continued the secretary. "A fictitious price has been created. The farmers are not ben eficiaries of such conditions, they will naturally plant wheat and next year's crop is likely to be abnormally large, when the gamblers will not be In the market and mischief will be done by disturbance of the crop system. Yop or 1908. "In the corner of 1898. when the price of wheat was run up to $1.85, the price was depressed the following year be low 80 cents, the result undoubtedly of the upsetting of the equilibrium of the normal demand and demand." To show that a scarcity of wheat in this country is not the cause for the present abnormal increases in prices, Secretary Wilson points out that the amount of wheat produced in the cal endar year 1908 was 665 million bushels as compared with 634 million bushels for- the crop year" 1907, mak ing 31 million bushels more for the last crop year than was found tne year previous. After calling attention to the de partment's report which indicated that the amount of wheat on farms on March 1, last, was about 143 million bushels in round numbers, the secre tary states that an analysis of the wheat movement after March 1 in past years indicates that the yearly estimate of the percentages of crop on farms at that time has been about 5 per cent below the actual percent age. He says that when wheat be comes dear, as it is now, as the result of the Chicago corner, people use more corn than they do when wheat is cheaper, and declares that the peo ple who are responsible for the cor ner will have to consider that less wheat will be used while it remains in an abnormally high price.

ROGERS IS NAMED Application for Receivership Made by Alton B. Parker. Nearly Two Million Dollars in Company's Bonds Outstanding. Iola, Kan., April 17. Upon applica tion of Alton B. Parker, acting on be half of the Trust Company of America trustees for the bondholders, J. O. Rog ers, was today appointed receiver for the Lanyon Zinc company, the larg est smelting firms In the world. Mr. Rogers i3 president of the Lan yon company. The petitioners declare that there are still outstanding $1,783,000 iii the company's bonds, on which there is defaulted interest amounting to $483. 000. No interest has been paid on the bonded debt, they declare, since 1905. The Lanyon company controls over 40 per cent of the entire zinc output of me worm, ine company holds stock in numerous other companies, including among the largest the Colorado Zinc Mining company. Pueblo, Col., April 17. P. B. F. Rhodes, superintendent of the zinc smelter of the American Smelting Kenning company In this city, said upon being told of the troubles of the Lanyon company by the Associated Press correspondent here today that he had looked for something of the sort among the smelters of the Kan sas and Missouri districts because of the fact that for some time past thev had been paying a greater price for zinc ore than smelters in the west be lieved was warranted by existing cir cumstances. He did not think that the receiver ship would do injury to the zinc indus try in .this state, but rather believed that it would clarify the atmosphere inasmuch as prices would be more set tled and the entire product of Color ado mines would be diverted to smelters in this section of the country. In the past a large quantity of zinc had been shipped to eastern smelters from the Leadville district which is the largest zinc producing camp in Colorado. Mr. Knoaes stated that he doubted whether the Lanyon company controls 40 per cent of the zinc output, aa has been alleged. He said that there had been a wide variance in the price of zinc at St. Louis, the average for the past 10 years being $5.10 per hundred pounds, but that the ore had rece.ntly risen to $5.15 and then slumped to $4.65. At present the price is showing a rising tendency and the latest quotation is $4.95. He did not think the troubles of the Lanyon company would have, a great effect in reducing this price which is for the bar metal, but that it would have a tendency to settle the ore prices, because of the less competition. STATE MUST KEEP OUT. Judge MePherson Claims Exclusive Jurisdiction in Rate Case. Kansas City, Mo., April 17. Judge Smith MePherson, in an amended de cree handed down in the United States district court here today re served exclusive jurisdiction in Mis souri's rate cases and in effect in structed the state courts to keep out of the case. The decree will dissolve the in junction against the railroads now pending in the state courts and started by the state officials to en join the 18 railroads operating in Missouri from putting the three cent rate into effect. "Today's decree." said Prank Ha german, representing the railroads, "means that the federal court retains absolute control of the rate situation in Missouri. It will prevent any fu ture interference on the part of the state courts." Judge MePherson after handing down the amended decree today, said he would file a supplementary decision within a few days. The attorneys for the railroads asked Judge MePherson to make certain changes in his origin al opinion of March 16. They desired to have stricken out his suggestion that a passenger rate of two and one half, cents would be compensatory The judge today did not say whether or not he would make the changes de sired. The Burlington and the Rock Is land railways had already announced a passenger rate of 2 cents, effective May 1. and today a third railway, the St. Louis San Francisco, announced its intention to follow suit. Railway officials here profess to believe that all railroads in Missouri will be forced to take similar action. The question of whether or not the railroads will return to the 3 cent rate will depend upon Judge McPherson's forthcoming supplementary decision which it is expected will pass definitely upon this latter point.

Madame Bartell was recently attacked by paralysis, and wishing to return to the United States, she insert ed an advertisement in the Paris pa pers offering her furniture for sale. Two men, pretending to be desirous of purchasing some of the articles, call ed at the apartments, and finding Madame Kartell and her maid alone. bound and gagged both and coolly searched all the rooms, taking all the portable valuables they could find. The two women were released by the con cierge. No trace of the robbers has been found, but their descriptions have oeen given to the police. Was Robbed Once Before. New York, April 17. William Bartell, the Chicago publisher, arrived here to day on the steamer La Savoie from Havre. He was much shocked at the news from Paris of the attack upon and robbery of Mrs. Bartell there. Mr. Bartell said that before he sailed for America, the Paris agent who had charge of renting the Bartell apartment had-received a letter from a man who asked the address of the apartment Mr. Bartell's suspicions were aroused by the wording of the letter and he is now convinced H. was written by a man who had something to do with the rob bery. Mrs. Bartell, he said, had only n few rings which could have been sto len and a little money. Mrs. Bartell was the victim of a robbery a year or more ago and was left bound with ropes. SHE POISONED A MAN. According to the Confession of a Toung Pennsylvania Woman. Pittsburg, Pa., April 17. After re lating a remarkable story and sur rendering to the local police. Miss Emma Baker, aged 28, of Northeast, Pa., will be examined for the purpose of determining her sanity. Miss Baker who is of refined ap pearance is under the impression that she caused the death of William Anderson of Northeast, ten months ago. At police headquarters the woman's appearance is rational. She said; "I poisoned a man .1 was in love with at Northeast, and I want to give myself up. The woman told a remarkable story. William Anderson, whom she alleges she loved became indifferent, she says, and in hope of getting back his love she put a love potion in a cup of coffee.

HE LIKES TO TRAVEL And Considers the Trip a Part of His Duty But Does Not Feel Able to Stand the Expense! Washington, April 17. President Taft, who believes that the chief mag istrate of the nation should keep in as close touch with the people as the du ties and requirements of the office ad mit, is planning a notable trip1 during the late summer and early autumn, provided congress decides to continue the annual appropriation of $25,000 for traveling expenses allowed during the closing years of the Roosevelt ad ministration. The president's plans for the sum mer as far into the heated term as August 15, have been completed. Mr. Taft will leave Washington as soon as he can arrange matters after the ad journment of congress and has been told that the extra session will end June 1. The president will go direct from the White House to his summer home at Woodbury Point, Beverly, Mass., and will spend two months or more there as quietly and as free from official worry as possible. Mr. Taft will devote most of his va cation to golfing, motoring and per haps will take short cruises along the northern coast. The reassembled At lantic fleet of sixteen "battleships will maneuver off the New England coast during the summer and the president undoubtedly will want to see some of the work of the Ironclads. The trip the president desires to make to the west during the late sum mer will be entirely too expensive to be paid for out of his own pocket. An outline of the proposed itinerary has been given to a high railroad official and an estimate requested. It is said the cost would be In the neighborhood of $15,000 to $17,000. If he goes west at all, the president will include Alaska in the journey, sailing from Seattle, probably on a vessel of the navy or revenue cutter service. No president has ever visited the far northern territory which for so long has been a part of the United States. The president has been invit ed to and Is particularly anxious to at tend the following gatherings: Where He Wants to Go. The annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, at Salt Lake City. -The -Trans-Mississippi congress at Denver. The National Irrigation congress at Seattle, and the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition at the same city. In addition to his proposed visit to the Rocky Mountain states, and to the Pacific coast, the president's tentative plans for the trip include a long swing through the southwest and the heart of the south itself. Many of the vessels of the Pai-lfln fleet, which includes eight fine armor ed cruisers of the type of the North Carolina and Montana, which Mr. Taft used on his recent trip to Panama will be stationed in and about Puget Sound during the exposition and the president undoubtedly would make the trin to Alaska on one of these. Returning from the north, he probably would land at &an Francisco to begin from there the journey along the southern border line. Mr. Taft has often spoken of an Alas kan trip, but It has not been known until now that he had decided to make it a part of any trip he may take to the Pacific coast. Mrs. Taft, who is as fond of travel as her husband, would accompany the presiaeni on ine tour. Many Favor the Trip. Western and southern senators and representatives are particularly anxious to have the president visit their sec tions and will do all In their power, to provide the necessary funds. They be lieve with the president that such n tour as he .proposes to make should be regarded as an essential factor in the universal desire to keep the people in ciose loucn ana sympatny with the cen tral government. They believe the president's trips through the country. and his addresses are as much of a benent to tne people as to himself president Tart makes no secret nf his ronaness tor travel. He believes it to be the only way of obtaining a pro per idea and perspective of such a. bio- country. Mr. Taft's stay at Beverly win ue uiicuuijicu vy a. lew snort trips to fill speaking engagements he has al ready made and others which he has Unucr i'uubiutriiuuu. Two splendid new motor cars, ordor ed sometime ago, have -just arrived at the wnite tiouse garage, making three machines in all now at the president's disposal. One of the cars he has been usms up iu una time was temporarily provided by the factory until the spec ial cars for the president could be com pleted. The president and Mrs. Taft both are looking forward with pleasure to motoring long distances over the splendid New England roads. NOT SURE HE WANTS IT An Oregon Editor Is Offered Ambassadorship to Mexico. Omaha, Neb., April 17.

That s what Harvey W. Scott. editor of the Portland Oregonian told the World-Herald last night Just after the Overland Limited pulied Into the Union station. "But it has not been formally offered to me yet." added Mr. Scott, "and how can I re fuse to accept a place 'under these conditions. I do not know just what I would do If it were offered, but I am inclined to think I would refuse." HUNDREDS KILLED Armenian Quarters of Adana Destroyed by Fire. They made a Good Fight, But Were Orerpowered. ATTACK CHRISTIANS. Mussulmans Burn Oyer Two of Their Tillayets. Massacre Feared at Beirut and Erzeroum. Constantinople, April 17.

The British vice consul at Mercina, Major Daughty Wylie, was wounded in the arm while endeavoring to quell hos tilities at Adana. It appears that the Armenians made a good fight and defended their quar ter of the town well against the fanati cal Mohammedans, but in spite of their brave resistance they were driven back and their opponents secured their homes. Three hundred Mohamme dans armed with rifles left Adena for Tarsus about 20 miles away. Since the departure of these men communication with Tarsus has been interrupted. Grave apprehen sions are felt regarding the situation there. The information in the fore going dispatches was received in con sular advices that have come in here this morning. Fire and Sword.

Omaha, April 17. Mr. E. A. Cuda hy, vice president and general man ager of the Cudahy packing company, gave the following statement to the Associated Press: "The dispute between the govern ment and ourselves is simply a ques tion of chemical analysis. For some time past we have been aware that the government officials have been taking samples of our butterlne all over the country wherever the goods have been on sale. These samples, they claim, show the infinitesimal use of artificial coloring matter. We have hal similar samples submitted to the leading chemical analysts of the Unit ed States and they have assured us that the butterine was not colored. Every man in our employ In our Kan sas City butterine factory the only place where we make butterine hav ing a knowledge of the manufacture of the goods has made affidavit that no coloring matter has been used. As the goods were sold both as uncolored goods and by our customers to the trade as such, there has been no at tempt on our part to defraud the gov ernment of revenue." Washington, April 17. Internal revenue officials expressed no surprise at the announcement that the Cudahy Packing company had been indicted at Topeka, Kan., for frauds against the internal revenue laws. It was admited that the oleomar garine business of the company had been under observation and investiga tion by treasury agents for three months or longer. It was stated that government agents have examined a very large number of samples of oleomargarine in many parts of the country sold by the Cudahy company and that while it would not be expedient to estimate the amount of taxes involved in the alleged frauds, it is known that the officials believe it will be in excess of $125,000 and possibly a much larger sum. The penalty provided for vio lation of the law is a fine from $500 to $1,000 and imprisonment from six months to three years for each of fense. Weather Is Sultry. Since 7 o'clock this morning, the temperature has jumped 37 degrees, and it was far from cold when it started. The temperature has not been below" 46 for 24 hours or more. Every weather station in Kansas re ports warm weather, 40 being the low est register at any point. On the fourth of this month the temperature reached 88 degrees, but that was later in the afternoon, and it may be dis tanced today. The wind is blowing- 20 miles an hour from the south. The hourly temperatures today: 7 o'clock 47111 o'clock 74 8 o'clock 6012 o'clock 78 9 o'clock .....57 1 o'clock ..,..81 10 o'clock'.. ...69 2 o'clock .....83 STUOBSONPARDON Gorernor Discusses His Most Serious Problem. Had to Refuse Mother Who Asks for Son's Release. HE DRAWS THE LINE Extend Clemency Only When Circumstances Warrant.' New Suggestion for Memorial Building Site. "The exercise of the pardoning power is the most serious problem in connection with the executive office," said Governor Stubbs during a lull in his audience hour this morning. There was no particular case in the gover nor's mind when he made the declara tion above, but there are a great many application for pardon and parole now before him for consideration and) something had brought the matter to his mind. Every new governor must dispose of the old appeals for pardon that fell on the deaf ears of his predecessor and then there are new ones every week. The governor slid down in his chair and looked thoughtfully out of the window with half closed eyes. When he spoke again it was in introspective fashion. "You know." he said, "that I have spent many years in charge of thou sands of the roughest men in the woria on rauroad grades and public works and I have seen fights that end ed in handshakes and others that ended in tragedies with prison bars often for the victor, who had struck harder than he intended in the heat of battle. Well, now, take a case of this kind, where some big hearted, bin fisted young fellow has been sent to state's prison for manslaughter and nis oia motner, who loves him more than ever, comes to me and begs for her boy's freedom. These dear old ladies with their shoulders bended by years of work and trouble, their tired eyes and the patient pleading in every word they utter; I tell you they get right next to me and I get busy and look up the cases of their boys with all the care in the world and try hard always to find enough in favor of the prisoner to warant giving him another chance by parole or pardon. "It is not very hard to refuse an applicant for a Job, or a dozen of them for that matter, although it is dis agreeable to have to deny a worthy man wicn gooa credentials a place, but it is very, very hard to refuse these mothers the liberty they ask for their boys. Tou can not argue with these women or point out the stern facts In the case to them. They can only see their boys' side of the story. "I think every man who has en tered prison through some slip of fate or sudden fit of rage should be given another, chance to do what is right. The parole plan as practiced in Kansas is a great thing. It Is a long step toward a pardon rather than a pardon.' If gives the convict a chance in the world. He is under the eye of the officials and can be yanked back 'without the formality of a trial if he drops back into his old ways again. One chance is enough for any of them. If they return to their old trade then there appears to be little hope that they will ever make good citizens again. But on the other hand if the ex-convict shows a dis position to do what Is right and tries hard to be honest and decent then I think that the man who signed his parole has done a bigger, better thing than can be compassed by any act of mere statesmanship. The people may forget the part he played in politics, but the old mother will sever forget the chance he gave her son. "I may grant few or many pardons, I cannot tell, but it is certain that I will weigh each application carefully and ma.e a full investigation in every case. "I can plunge ahead and make an appointment or decide on a course as it affects the business of the state andi let it go at that. I do the best I can and worry about it no longer after It has been done. But in this matter of paroles and pardons I walk slowly and fearfully, and am never entirely satisfied. I might be too lenient, or what is worse, I might be too stern." At this moment Charlie Gibbs, the governor's personal secretary, and) executive clerk came In with a paper for him to sign. Gov. Stubbs quickly affixed his signature to the document, writing with the paper resting on a book on his lap. It was a parole for a young man serving time for a petty crime. "I guess this is right," mur mured the governor, "anyway, I will give him a chance. "Charlie, you rascal, (this to the pleasant faced Mr. Gibbs who was waiting for the return of the paper) I believe you know I was talking about pardons and took this oppor tunity to catch me and thrust that paper into my hand Just' at the time when I would be sure to sign it." The governor smiled at his secretary, while Mr. Gibbs went away with an answering smile on his face. He ap peared like a man who was well satisfied with what he had done. A prominent citizen of Topeka, speak ing today about the failure of the com mission to secure a site ror tne pro posed memorial building, advanced the Idea that the new structure be built on capltol square rather than facing the square and gave logical reasons in sup port of his plan. The main objection to this Idea Is the fact that the commis sion has no powers in the matter not granted by the legislature and that body appropriated $15,000 for a site ana made no provision in the bill for its location on the capltol grounds. It is doubtful if the commission could use the state house square for this building without special permission rrom tne legislature. The Topeka man's views, however.- are worth printing and are as follows: Tears ago when Edward wilder se cured permission from the legislature to erect the public library on state house square, many Topeka people reg istered a kick, claiming that it would destroy the architectural effect of the capital building. When the building was erected this objection vanished ana if Mr. Wilder, with far-sighted vision. had not secured this location Topeka would have had no library. If a fins (Continued on Page Six.)

By taking advantage of the Joplln (Miners' frequent errors and landing on Mershon, a Topeka discard at oppor tune times, the Topeka team did not Jiava to extend itself to win yester- da-'s game, which was earned by a eoore of 6 to L And the one Joplln run came as a gift from Olson !n the ninth nnning after the team was ap parently shut out. But Olson is ex cusable, having been In practice but a Cew days. The boss sent a trio of pitchers te the Ibox and each one demeaned himself In a manner appropriate and entirely In accordance with the rules of baseball etiquette. Each one of the trio dis played a good assortment of merchan dise and the fan who saw the work are breathing somewhat easier. Burnum was the first to face the en emy. The big southsider was in fine condition, much more so than he had been at any previous time, and allow ed but two hits in the three innings In which he worked. Hendrix was un fortunate in having an extra Inning slipped in on him. The score board is out of commission for a few days while a new one is being installed, and the team forgot the inning. Consequently ha wnrkea four rounds. And he pitched some great ball in this time, allowing only one hit and that in tne lourtn in ning. The remainder of the battle was hurled by Killingsworth, the latest ad dition to the team. Killingsworth show ed his wares which consists of a split ter which is about as good as any ever seen In Topeka. Of course it is a little too early in the year to control a spit er and he had had but little box work. He emitted the only walk of the game, but showed some classy pitching. The general verdict was that he would ao. Mershon worked for the Baker cohorts. The former Topeka tryout iwith the long silvery locks and the radiant sandy complexion showed about the same form he displayed here last spring. He has a little speed, which he displays at Intervals, in an attempt to get the ball past the batter. In the pinches he laoked effectlvness as all of the extra base hits came oppor tunely. The locals played a great game in the fleld. In the very first inning the American Association. Clubs Won. Lost. Louisville 3 0 Minneapolis 3 0 Milwaukee 3 0 Indianapolis .2 1 Toledo 1 2 8t.

McKee was on first u.nd Landis hit a hard one which Dick stopped and held securely in his mlt and then politely touched first base with his left toe, completing the dou ble execution. Joplln's run in the ninth came on Topeka's only error a low throw by Olson. With one down, Mlsse drew a walk, McKee hit safe and Landis laid a bunt down the third base line. Olson made a nice pickup but threw the ball low and Misse scored. McKee fell into a trap and was chased around the dia mond by Cooley and finally thrown out near the plate. It took the locals one inning to size up things before starting the run get ting in the second. With one down, Kahl singled. Mershon made a quick effort to throw Kahl out napping at first but the ball lodged beneath the bleachers and allowed the completion of the circuit. In the third McManus singled and went to second on Burnum's out and scored on Ludes fumble. The real sport for the locals came In the sixth inning, when with ragged sup port and ineffectiveness, three runs were scored. With one out, Misse boot ed the ball allowing Geier a life. Ludes kicked Cooley' s grounder and two were one. Fenlon was out but both runners advanced a station. Kahl scored two with a double and later scored on a double by Cullen. The Joplln team looked well in spots. Misse is a pretty good inflelder, and Levine at third didn't pull oil any bad stunts. Ludes isn't so much at short and although Landis looks "bushy" at first, gets away pretty well, MCLUCKie looks best in the outfield. The two teams will compete in the Sunday per formance tomorrow. Both sides will use plenty of pitchers. Doc Pollard, a former TopeKa pitcn- er, did some fair work as umpire. The score: TOPEKA. Players AJB. R.

Battling Nelson, lightweight champion of the world, and Packy McFarland of Chicago were matched here last night to fight 45 rounds at James Coffroth's Mission street arena in San Francisco July 5. The articles were signed at a confer ence betwen the principals and Coff roth. The fight wll be held at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon and the men will be called upon to weigh in at 133 pounds at 8 o'clock in the morning. The men will fight for 60 per cent of the gross receipts and it will be divided 75 per cent to the winner and 25 percent to the loser. Nelson will receive the en tire receipts of the moving picture privilege. Nelson also will receive a bonus from coffroth. Each man post ed a forfeit of 85,000 and the sum will go as a side bet Both men agreed not to engage in any bout after June J. No Betting at Polo Grounds. New York, April 17. In en effort to prevent betting on baseball games forty police detectives have been as signed to duty in the grandstands at the Polo grounds. Three? men are held in $300 bail each in the Harlem police court on charges of gambling at .the New York-Brooklyn game. Jay Andrews is expected In town some time this afternoon or evening. At all eveijta the peppery Fat One will be In in time to participate in tne Hun- day confab between Topeka and J op lln. With Danberry. Andrews and the Joplin team, the attractions at the local ball park tomorrow aiternoon ougnt to be of more than usual interest. Pitcher Swift of the Pueblo team is not only laboring under a fast name but it Is said that he is a big man too. The Sioux City diamond will be sod ded next week, and then it is expected that the rain will take care of the re mainder, so that when the Packers re turn to Sioux City, May 12, the grounds will be in great shape. Jack Holland of Wichita has traded Pitcher Bailey, and Richter, the Den ver semipro inflelder, to Enid and se cured Pitcher McGill in return. Hol land is evidently up against it for pitchers. Wichita will probably sell Earl An dres, the Arkansas City southpaw, to Hutchinson, where Plank has already gone. Charles. Tonneman, a former member of the Topeka team, and who is now a catcher with the Nashville Southern league team, was married a few days ago. It was evidently a case of love at first sight, for Tonny had known her for but three weeks. Advices from Little Rock say that Nick Kahl, with Leavenworth in 1906 and a brother of hod js.ani oi me j-o-peka team, has been transferred to the Columbus team, by whom he was owned last season. The Pueblo team has adopted a cut of an Indian as a Billiken of good luck for the team this season. The cut goes by the name of Heap Crazy Fan. Reach's official guide which has been sent to the sporting editor of the State Journal, is one of the best things that publishing houses has produced In years. Every department of the great national game Is well handled, pictures galore and averages until you can't rest. Outfielder Mike Welday hurt a finger in an Omaha game and although he is retained by Comiskey, will not be able to play regularly for some time. Mike will undoubtedly be used to hit in pinches. J. F. Gunthrope has got in bad with the Denver newspaper writers because he didn't train the regular team out In the mountains in the snow and ice. Gunny however, shows he is a wise boy in that his club has good weather in Kansas and southern Missouri and in addition has picked up a lot of training money. It is likely the Denver club is in the best condition of any in the Western league. And that helps In getting a running start at the opening of the season. 1 Joplin Globe: Twelve men will make th Ht tn the Sunflower state to cross bats with Cooley's bunch of the West ern league. The games win prooaoiy be well contested exhibitions, as the Miners and the Cooleycrowa are in about the same class, although the Cooleyerows have recently Joined a higher league. Pueblo Star-Journal: Pueblo is not the only city in the Western league to be accused of handling an umpire roughly, an .unfair accusation at that June 21 last year, the Wichita team of the Western association, now in the Western league, became mixed in an argument with "Unrip." Shuster, and it took the combined efforts of twelve policemen to protect him from the en ranged fans. i i- Pueblo thinks that Catcher Wilbur Smith will become the property of the Chicago White Sox, as this is the only American league team which has re fused to waive on the former Pueblo catcher now with St. Louis. More Hard Luck for Pueblo. Ham ilton Patterson,- the popular ra&aagsr of last season's team, after dodging the St Louis Browns during the practice season, has finally been ordered to re port to St Louis. Patterson will leave in a few days much to the regret of Sunville. for "Ham" was very popu lar in the Rocky Mountain city.- This means that the veteran George Hog riever.will take up the burden of giv ing the Indian village a winning team. He certainly has a splendid opportunity with an the material, recently acquired. Beals Becker, a Western association product, is playing right field for the Boston Nationals. Jack Holland of Wichita is worried over the disappearance and nonreport ing of one Pitcher Weller, who was highly touted and who was depended upon to bear the brunt of the battle. Weller, In hia last letter over a month ago, said he would report on April 10. He also wanted a little advance money. And he got It The question now is. "Where Is weller?" Lee Quillen, formerly of the Des Moines team, says that he has received good offers from the Fresno team in the California Outlaw circuit and that he will report to that club, if he it sent to Des Moines. He claims to have been offered more money than he could re ceive in the Western league. Mc Luckie, who played left field for the Joplln Miners, played in the Hutch inson outfield for a couple of seasons. Mc just Joined the team a day or two ago, and yesterday was his first per formance. Misse, who plays the second sack foi Joplin, was with Wichita for a month last season but was canned because he couldn't hit the ball. Landis, the Joplin first baseman, came to Topeka one day and broke int the -aim as a catcher and did pretty well. A few days later he brought Cy Landreth in. Cy made good and Landis tost out Both are from the shortgrasi country. The Joplin team ought to be properly managed this time. Both Manager Vanderhill and President Baker are with the team. Vanderhill is the same noisy good natured catcher, that the Western association has known all life. He has a lot of pepper. "If you can't play, make a noise" seems to be the slogan of the Joplm players They are certainly a peppery and noisy lot and are always talking. It pays, keep It up, Tony. Manager Dressen of the Great Bend team is certainly setting a good ex ample for his proteges. A few days ago he cracked out two home runs in one game. The Great Bend Tribune calls it the Santa Fe league, for the Santa Fe will cop all the business. Thomas Goes and Glenn Mitchell, pitchers, and Bales and McLear, out fielders, have been released by Great Bend. Goes is a brother of Eddie Goes, while McLear is a brother of the well known Western association scrap per. Neither showed any of the fam ily baseball blood. Maxey, who was released by Cooley to Hutchinson, has reported to the salt marshes, and Bill Zink smiles a little more than usual. The directors of the Lyons club are -all well pleased with the work which Jay Andrews has done for the club. If Jay turns out a winning club, he certainly can return to Lyons and run for mayor next spring. Bob Bradley of Abilene, the new manager of the Strong City-Cotton-wood Falls combination, has reported and found a few players waiting for him. This is "Pap" Eyler's home and the players will have to go some to win the good graces of the fans. A new league was organized at Kiowa early in the week, which is known as the Border league, and com prises the following towns: Kiowa, Harper and Anthony in Kansas, Woodward, Waynoka and Cherokee in Oklahoma. Another Santa Fe league. Why doesn't the Rock Island have a league or two. Down at Wellington the team is working out daily and expects to make a good showing when the Kansas State league starts. John Meade is the club's manager. Wichita is scheduled to play at Wellington tomorrow and Monday. Carl Manda, a Hutchinson boy is putting up a game fight for the shortstop position on the Lyons team. Most of the Strong City-Cottonwood Falls players are youngsters and in this the directors are placing' their hopes of the pennant. Tony Smith and Hansford, the for mer a -shortstop, and the latter a catcher, both from Marcellne, Mo., are making god at Hutchinson, although Hansford will have a battle on hia hands to beat "Toronto Bill" Maxey. The chances are that Lefty Holmes, who once had a trial with the Pitts burg Nationals, will not play baseball this season. He works in a drug store In Hutchinson where he makes more money than he could playing in the Kansas State league where they have a salary limit of $800 per month. pitcner vaugn, who will throw them over for the Great Bend team, pro vided he makes good, has never play ed professional ball, but the prospects are bright that he will. Junction City leaguers will play practice games with the Fort Riley soldiers previous to the opening of the C. K. league season. According to Holland,' Jack Wright, who goes to Great Bend this year, will bear watching. He promises to play such ball that it will be impossible for Great Bend to keep him. Herbert Sommera, who has achieved a reputation as the "kid catcher," is being boomed for backstop on the Ellsworth team this year.

Anril 17 A new era in tne attitude of railroads in in vestigating accidents was inauo-urated here yesterday when the Southern p. cine put into effect the policy of giving iuu puDiicity to such in vestigations.

Newspaper men will not only be permitted to attend the In vestigations but will be notified of the sittings of the board. At the March meeting of the West ern Railway club in Chicago, W. L. Park, general superintendent of the Union Pacific at Omaha, read a paper earnestly advocating publicity for railroad accidents. This paper re sulted in the order of Mr. Knuttschnitt. General Superintendent Park said: As railroad men we must admit that the long list of appalling acci dents, accompanied with fatalities and personal injuries to passengers and employes, many of which were avoidable, is a blot on our escutcheon which must be wiped out before we can return to the full confidence of the greatest of all earthly judges public sentiment.

Distinguished Statesman and Philoso pher Died 119 Years Ago. Today we commemorate the death of one of America's greatest men, Benjamin Franklin. One hundred and nineteen years ago, word went out from his quiet home in Philadel phia that the able statesman and philosopher, who for over half a cen- ury had been one of the dominating factors in American life, was dead. Franklin once wrote a fanciful epi taph for himself, which was published in tne iew England courant and which, hidden within its homely sim iles, contained a world of thought and expressed his hopes and beliefs: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, printer, like the cover of an old book. its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding, lies here. food for worms. But the work shall not be lost for it will as he believes, appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the author." His life s work is well known for its many diplomatic missions, his efforts toward union of the colonies, his work as a writer and printer, as a philoso pher and as an inventor all these are familiar. He died just as the new government was being launched. It was as yet an experiment, but Benjamin Franklin believed in government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and signed his name to that epoch-making document. Franklin was always a leader. He possessed a brilliant mind hich was able to srrasD bevond hi time and the United States has much for which to thank Benjamin Franklin.

It appears that a bunch of girls that nave a speaking acquaintance with some rah-rah boys, and hence have ac quired a working knowledge of Greek letter organizations In the universities, organized a Chi Tau society. Its ses sions were conducted with much secrecy and mysticism and naturally all the other girls were just wild to join. Yesterday the bunch informed one candidate that she would be initiated, About 9 o'clock the candidate was walked blindfolded around the streets until her sense of direction had been properly confused and then led to Elm. wood cemetery, where half the girls were to don -white sheets and do the ghost stunt. As the girls neared the cemetery their courage began to ooze rapidly down through their shoes and by the time they had reached the center of the silent burial ground, with its great white monuments and oppressive still ness.' the entire lot was scared half silly and only the presence of the en tire bunch kept them from stampeding in pure horror. In scared whispers they placed the "ehosts" in conspicous spots which were mighty near the huddled crowd and prepared to untie tne Danaage from the candidate's eyes. As the lead er was fumbling with the knot, her fright-stiffened fingers refusing to find the loose ends easily a long drawn but shuddering groan which eent the cold chills chasing up and down thespinal columns of the shivering girls, was heard and a wierd ghostly form seen to rise perpendicularly from a nearby mound and with a wave or its arm resurrected an army of ghosts from behind tombstones and grassy mounds. The entire cemetery seemed to be "salted" with ghosts not on the pro gramme, and with one terrified shriek the Chi Taus precipitately fled, falling over mounds and monuments and leav ing their own ghostry raiment behind.

Zanditon Stand QUICK MILLIONS. Patten Makes Fortune in What in a Night. It Came With Announcement ot U. S. Crop Report. A LONG LOOK AHEAD. Six Months Ago He Said There Would Be a Shortage. People Laughed at Him, But Now They Know. Chicago. April 17. No more dra matic scene has been witnessed on the Chicago exchange than when the gov ernment report on wheat was chalked up. It sent May wheat to $1.30 within a few hours. It occurred at precisely 7 o'edock in the morning. A bit of yellow paper was hurriedly handed up to the man on the ladder. The strain was now intense. Millions were at stake. The man at the board traced a figure eight in the black space. Bears' hearts sank; they had hoped for a nine. Then the chalk started to trace the curving lines of a figure two. The traders waited for no more. One concentrated yell arose from the floor with the sharpness and suddenness of a thunder clap. They had read 82 per cent. What it meant was that the world is short of wheat. Meanwhile James A. Patton, the wheat king of the world, sat smiling across the street in his office. It was some six months ago that this wise prophet, who for years has been studying the wheat situation, walked into the board of trade when May wheat was selling at $1.05 and told them that wheat would go to $1.25. Some of them laughed at him; others followed his advice and bought. Those who were wise enough to buv are to day wealthier by many million dol lars. This prophecy is no guess work with James A. Patton. He merely antici pated the government report and the reports from foreign countries. The world is short of wheat this year and Patton knew It. Now that it is veri fied those who laughed at him are wondering how they could- have been such fools. Mr. Patton. this wheat king, really is a very ordinary looking man. He is quiet of nature and spends his even ings at home with his family, reading and smoking. Mr. Patton is a model husband and business man. His work ing day Is devoted to his business -solutely and his evenings are Just as devoted to his family circle and to rest. He does not drink, does not gamble or dissipate in any form. He retires to bed early in the evening, usually about 9 o'clock, and Is up early the following morning, wida awake and ready for his work. He never carries his busi ness troubles or cares home with him, leaving it all at he office to be atttack erf with renewed vigor the next morn ing. This Is why he is able to grasp situations better than some of the oth ers who have been "out with the boys" the night before. Mrs. Patton possesses a verv charm ing personality and is a great admirer oi ner nusband. air. patton seldom talks over business affairs with her be cause he leaves them all at the office. With all his work and business Mr. Patton is intensely human. He takes a great interest in the affairs of the people around him. He gives much to charity in a quiet way and has aided education by his handsome donations to the Northwestern university. Mr. Patton has been identified with the Chicago Board of Trade for many years. He very seldom appears on the floor, but he is in close touch with it through his representatives. It was only a few years ago that he was able tc make a like fortune out of corn, when he became known as the "corn ling." The price of $1.30 on May wheat is the highest attained by that product since Joe Leiter sent wheat skyward by the corner which broke him in 1908, when it reached $1.85. Only once be fore that eince the civil war has wheat been up to $1.30 and that was in 1888, when the so-called Hutchinson corner sent September wheat to $2. -It Is estimated that Mr. Patton has Basement Extra One counter large Plates in good ware, worth 12c, 15c and some few up to 25c per each plate, from 7:30 to 9:30 per set of 6 plates ut Limit 1 Set to a Customer Good Seasonable Merchandise at 50c on the Dollar.

As far as I know there has been no dispute between the packing company and the government for the representatives of the government have been quietly en gaged in collecting evidence for some time. "The indictments returned are on Just the number of samples on which the analysis has been completed and has proven satisfactory to the govern ment's representatives. We have 1 a strong case and it is my belief that the government will secure a con viction on every Indictment which has been returned. However, I prefer to try the cases in the courts rather than through the newspapers." HEARING IS WAIVED. In the Case of Boyle Woman Charged With Abduction. Mercer, April 17. Former Judge S. H. Miller today formally waived a hearing in the case of Mrs. James H. Boyle, on a charge of being implicated in the abduc tion of Willie Whitla. The Indictment of Boyle and his wife has been prepared and is ready for the action of the grand Jury next week. No decision has been reached as yet as to whether the cases will be presented sep. arately or jointly. WHAT SORT OF MAN IS THIS? Tried to Have Fire Pressure Shut Off Willie Catholic Church Burned.' While the fire at the Catholic church was at Its height last night some one, unknown to any of the city officials, call ed up the engineer at the waterworks and saying he was a fireman asked that the pressure be shut off. He stated to the engineer that Chief Wilmarh hail direct ed him to send this information out to the waterworks. The engineer of the, plant has always received his orders from Chief Wilmarth in person and suspecting some foul play he called up headquarters only to find that no such order had been given. It was clearly a case of malicious intent and the city officials with Chief Wilmarth will do all in their power to account for the order. Chief Wilmarth said this morning that his men -wrre so well dis ciplined that he would never suspect any thing of this kind among the firemen and he believed that the crime had been per formed by an outsider. "If I ever see the color of this man, he will suffer to the extent of the law," said Chief Wilmarth this morning. "A matter of this kind is very serious. W were In the midst of the fire and a receding of pressure would have given the fire a start we could hardly have been able to over- FTRE IX A SKIRT FACTORY. It Is Put Out Before Much Damage Is Done. At twentr-two minutes after ten last night, just before the fire at the Catholic church, an alarm came to neaaquarters from 317 Kansas avenue where the one story brick building occupied by the Na tional Skirt company waa reported burn ing. On arriving the companies found the center of the store room in flames and the fire rapidly spreading to the large number of skirts hanging in the room. A chemical stream extinguished the fire in short order. The cause is unknown. When the fire men broke into the front door they found the gas stove turned on under full force and the back door was unlocked. R- F. Beachum. the proprietor, says that he left the building early In the evening and turned the gas out before he lert. There were no electric wires to cause short cir cuiting. From the looks of things it miKht be said that the fire was one of an incendiary character. The loss on the building Is practically nothing but the stock loss will amout to $25.

Elaborate preparations are being made for the opening of the Com mercial club's new cafe next Monday noon. A. F. Colson, the well known steward of the Elks' club has con tracted with the secretaries of the club to take charge of the cafe, and this alone insures good service. 'A club luncheon will be served which will cost twenty-five cents.--The direc tors of the club will aim to make the luncheons a self supporting proposi tion, but it will not be operated for profits. It will be expected to pay for itself, and everything that is made' on the dining room, will be used In pro viding. Elon S. Clark, one of the club's secretaries, in talking of the matter this morning said: "We are depend ing on the loyalty of our members to make the cafe a success.' We do not want to make any profit, and every thine that Is taken in will be ex pended on the cafe. Mr. Colson's ability as a caterer is well known, and insures us the best there is for the money. We want -to make this a meeting time for all our committees and business men, for we can talk things over during the noon hour, that we can find time for at no other period of the day."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr-SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 17, 1909. BAD FIREJIIPPED Curch of the AssumptionThreat ened With Destruction. Great Work by Firemen Saves Structure. LOSS WILL BE 515,000 Started From Unknown Cause in Easement. Building to Be Repaired and Services Continued. The large brick Catholic Church of the- Assumption, situated on West Eighth avenue between Jackson and Van Buren streets was damaged to the extent of $15,000 last night from the hours of 11 to 12. Quick, effective, and fearless was the work of Chief Wllmarth and his com panies called to the scene from all over the city. Answering to an alarm that Tho ten thousand doUar pipe organ, at the Church of the Assumption which was practically ruined by the fire in the church last night. came when the whole structure ready to break out Into a blazing mass, the fire chief directed his men in such a manner that not a drop of water was wasted and not an extra draft of air watt allowed to fan the hot embers. The fire last night was not spectacu lar but from the firemen's point of view it was one of the hardest of the year. Starting In the basement near the furnace from some unknown cause and eating its way up through the floor un der the south end of the church just in front of the Eighth avenue entrance the fire broke out Into a series of light ning like flames licking up the wood work and ruining the mammoth pipe organ which stood directly overhead. Decorations and statuary an over the church were destroyed by the heat and smoke. The estimated loss varies. Chief Wll marth says that It will not reach over 110.000. The chief is an experienced judge of fire losses and he seldom misses the mark but last night there :were a number of articles not taken Unto consideration which were damaged i In the rear of the church by the emoke. 'The actual loss on the building will be small. A section of the floor 15 feet square was burned out and the rear row of pews burned. The beams and supports in this vicinity were also burned In such a manner that they will worthless. Woodwork around the (front door and In the front of the church was scorched and will have to I be replaced, i The furnace was put Into bad condition but not beyond repair. 'The big $10,000 pipe organ was badly damaged. FaXher V. M. Hayden estimates the iloss at $15,000. The whole church had been refrescoed and repainted but a few months before by a firm from St. Louis. This work was done at a cost (of $5,000. It was totally ruined and i will have to be put Into shape again at fO. larger cost. The big pipe organ !whJch hangs directly over the entrance to the church and was above the hot test part of the Are was damaged to an extent of about $5,000. The reeds are hnturht to be STKlled by the heat. This is an immense Item In the loss by heat and smoke. Combining these losses with the loss to the building, and the decorations and the statuary and It is hmia-ht that $15,000 can be reached easily. The loss Is fully covered by In surance. Fire Is Discovered. The fire was first discovered by Chief Eaton of the police force, Charles Thompson and Councilman H. B. How ard The men were Just returning from a meeting of the police committee at the city hall and while passing the church they smelled burning pine. It had that peculiar Are odor and the three men Investigated at once. On nearing the big church they saw emoke Issuing out of the windows, through the doors and rrom unaer u -turned In an alarm at once and then proceeded to break in the back door j..r,. tho location of the Are. Chief Eaton aroused Father Hayden from his bed but the latter refused to believe that the church was on Are at Sri Hiahome Is In direct connection Srtth the church and many toes peo- nle have mistaxen smutte v. pie u- the burnlni cnurch and a number of false alarms have been turned in from this lcan. However. Dean Hayden was soon aware S the Are and he dressed Quickly, arousing the family and the Sisters of he Catholic school nearby. Father Hayden rushed for the altar M soon as he had dresed. At this time fe Church was filled with smoke. The Vt was suffocating and unbreathable. Tiean Hayden was resolved to save the iW service, however, and he was only Strained by the efforts of Chief Eaton Tndrtends who would not allow him o tenter the building. Later when the firemen had located the exact situation f the fire and had a stream of water onto it Father Hayden and the Sisters Carried out many valuables from the altar and from the church. Probably Caused by Electric Wires. It started near the furnace in the south end of the basement. In this basement was found piles of empty fcoxes and excelsior which in itself is Gombustlble and liable at any time to originate a fire. However, from the lo cation of the fire It Is thought by Chief Wllmarth that defective wiring was the cause. There is one electric light at this point and no fire was In tho fur nace. The firemen were greatly helped In the fire by the electric lights In the church which burned- continually throughout the conflagration. The chandeliers over the church were turn ed on and through the thick smoke they gleamed as beacon lights to the firemen who were fighting the flames from the basement, from the front and back doors and through every window. Ten lines of hose were stretched to the building a -few minutes after the gen eral alarm had been turned In and the steamers were put Into action at once. The pressure was excellent. Chief Wll marth said last night that he could not have used another pint of water. How ever, not a drop was wasted and no damage can be collected from the mis use of water. After the firemen had found the exact location of the fire they fought It from all sides and from un derneath. One of the firemen said last night that at one time during the fire he was receiving the full benefit of three streams or water which played upon him from all sides. It was a fine piece of work, and a number of the Catholics and the officials are more than pleased with the effectiveness of Chief Wllmarth and his men. It was reported this morning that the church would be remodeled since the fire but this Is untrue. Work will com mence as soon as the Insurance is set tled, upon the repairing of the walls and the floor. It is thought that in the course of a few weeks everything will be as good as new and when the Cath olics undertake to do a thing they fin ish it. Services will be held In the church Sunday as usual and It is thought that enough work can be accomplished to day to make the church ready for wor ship at this time. SUNDAY SCHOOL HOSTS. large Gathering Expected at Annual State Convention in May. The forty-fourth annual state Sun day school convention will be held In Topeka at the Auditorium, May 5, 6 and 7. This is the largest convention of any kind held regularly in the state, and this year's convention should be a record breaker, because the convention is growing annually and because Topeka is the great con vention city of the state. Last year at Wichita the attendance was 2,200. It should be 2,600 this year In Topeka. A programme of great interest Is being arranged. Marion Lawrance of Chicago, doubtless the foremost Sun day school authority in the world, will be one of the speakers. It will be worth the while of every Sunday school teacher in Kansas to come -to Topeka to hear him. Every possible effort Is being made by the city and people of Topeka to provide for the comfort of visitors. The Commercial club is co-operating with the executive committee repre senting the local Sunday schools to make the convention a noteworthy one. This will be a splendid time to visit the beautiful capital city of Kansas. No city in the west is more beautiful In May than Topeka, Come and see the state capital, the library, the colleges, the parks, the churches, the beautiful residence streets and the stores of Topeka. And remember that "All roads lead to Topeka." Girl Married In Bed. Detroit. April 17. Miss Justin Mo ran, a prominent society girl of this city, was married today to Lieutenant Charles W.

INDUSTRY IS SPOTTED Though Activity Is Noted in Most 'Lines. Bank Clearings Show Increase All Along the Line. New York, April 17. Bradstreefs says: "Weather, crop and industrial reports are still very irregular, rendering gen eral characterization difficult. Taken as a whole, there Is, however, a slight ly larger business doing, this being particularly true of retail trade In sec tions where weather permits and in bookings for fall and winter delivery at wholesale. In portions of the south and in the east generally there is more confident purchasing, higher prices for cotton, aiding in the former instance, while the advance of the season helps trade along the Atlantic seaboard. "In the central west trade at retail Is expanding slowly and a rather bet ter business is reported with country merchants, but Jobbing activity is not so pronounced as it was some weeks ago. "Industry is in a rather spotted con dition. There is more doing in iron and steel, but largely, it is claimed, at the expense of prices. The improvement noted in the cotton goods industry is maintained. Prices of staple goods are firm. -There Is more doing in silk man ufacturing. Women's wear woolen goods are In good request and worsted goods and yarns are strong. While re ports of immense activity In the leath er market seems rather premature, it Is evident that manufacturers are buy ing more freely. Hides are, however, rather quiet.

(Continued from Page One.) memorial building should be built on one of the remaining corners of the square it would add to rather than de tract from the general effect. All agree that It Is of first import ance that the memorial building should be as near as possible to the capitol so that its contents can be eas ily examined for reference purposes. When acceslbility is considered, no place equals a corner as proposed. 'The fine Capper block does not in jure the effect of the state capitoL Then why would a similar building, only a few feet nearer on an opposite corner, work Injury? 'Rather than lose this building which will be of such vast importance to To peka for all time, let it be built on capitol square. Grouping of public buildings should be encouraged as it is in many large cities. John Atwood, Democratic national committeeman from Kansas and lead er of the Bourbons of this state, has removed from his home in Leaven worth to Kansas City, Mo., and set his shingle to the breeze in the Missouri metropolis. Mr. Atwood has ranked for years among the most brilliant public speakers and able attorneys in this state. His removal to Missouri leaves a big gap in the Democratic ranks and already there is consider able discussion of who shall take his place on the national" committee to represent Kansas. The Atwood man tle is a big one, but tnere are many available leaders who would look well In this style of a summer suit. Among them might be mentioned Charles Sawyer of Norton, Hugh Farrelly of Chanute, Barney Sheridan of Paola, Prank Jarrell of Holton, J. G. John son of peabody and last but never least. Colonel William Sapp of Galena. All of these gentlemen are being urged for the place by their friends and a lively fight is anticipated before At wood's successor is chosen. It Is reported that the Democrats are making great progress In the sale of stock for their proposed weekly paper in Topeka. The sum of $25,000 is to be raised for this venture for a party organ and Barney Sheridan is already spoken of for the place of editor of the proposed paper. During a recent debate in the Mis souri legislature over the passage of a certain block of bills by the omnibus system one of the representa tives objected to the scheme in vehement language. Cross of Clinton county in reply quoted Kansas as a criterion In the following language: "The gentlemen does not know what he is talking about, If he says simultaneous reading of bills is not legal," said Cross of Clinton. "I was in Kansas once and watched the legislature. There I saw twenty men at the desk reading twenty Dills at the same time, and in a few minutes they called twenty rolls, and the busi ness was dispatched in that expedi tious way. If they can stand that in Kansas, we can stand blocks of five in Missouri." The end of the row was a truce to give Representatives Droste and Ros enberger, a special committee, time to get an opinion from the attorney gen eral upon the legality of passing bills in blocks. BECAUSE HE WENT BACK. Joseph Snyder Arrested for Refusing to Stay Ejected. Because he went back. Joseph Snyder was arrested on a charge of destroying property. It appears from the complaint that Joseph Snyder was thrown out of-a room at 1006 North Kansas avenue for non-payment of rent. Marshal Tim Donovan per formed the operation, and likewise threw out Snyder's household effects. But Snyder returned, kicked in the locked door, and again occupied the room with his eoous and chattels. Wherefore Clarence Wlllits, owner of the property, caused his arrest. Weekly Bank Statement.

WHEAT "It was easy last night to find traders who were favorable to the buying side of wheat on the break because prices were higher. It is said that the local shorts have not cov ered and that a nervous markt can be ex pected today because of the usual week end evening up. It is the belief among a number of active speculators that the bull interests have absorbed the surplus of the Julv wheat and the deferred futures and with any Improvement In the outside buy ing that they might easily advance con siderable. It is predicted thct prices in every market in the country will ulti mately sell hiffher than Chicago and that all of the northwestern markets will be higher than Chicago Inside of two weeks. A large southwestern speculator predicts that St. Louis wheat will sell at a wider nremtum over Chicagro and that their Julv will sell higher than Chicago July. Shorts in May corn continue the liquidating. Every bull had a profit last night, the prices being 69c. the highest of the sea son. Traders said that the short interest had been greatly reduced by the advance of nearly two cents during the day and although the news was bullish and a great many are looKing ror ia cent corn they are a little timid about advising pur chases on the bulges' especially at the present level of prices. An awakening came to the oats trade yesterday. A num ber of reports telling of unfavorable crop conditions were received from Illinois and Indiana. It Is the gossip of the pit that Updike who has been the largest seller of the September option became scared and covered over half a million bushels, m ak in sr the high prices.

EA w TV int TUT E ini Sp ring Is the Great Tonic Season "Spring fever" is in the air. .We all have touches of it-all feel the need of a general "toning up." For this purpose nothing is better than the "orange habit." Eat "Sun kist" Oransrest at breakfast time. Eat them during the day, and at bed time. "Sunkist" Oranges are the finest grown. Doctors all agree that orange eating at thistime is one of the grandest of health boons. Great trainloads of "Sunkist" Oranges are now being distributed throughout this entire section. You'll find them on special sale at your dealer's all during Good Health Week. Physicians Recommend the Orange Habit In the old days physicians assumed a spjilnx-like attitude on all matters pertaining to health and disease unless specially ''called In." How we find them seemingly as deeply Interested In simple, every-day preventive meas ures, long walks, deep breathing, golf, and making dietary, recommendations of a nature to tempt the average man or woman to try them out. The wonderful health value of oranges is a matter on which the repre sentatives of all schools of medicine are agreed. They assert that orange juices are highly efficacious as an aid to digestion, and this opinion Is con firmed by the reports of the California Orange Growers, which show an in creasing demand for the rich, juicy, full-flavored oranges of that state. The American Optimist. Oranges for the Complexion Two years ago a club of twenty-five women was formed to make a test of the health-giving value of oranges. The best quality of oranges were in variably eaten and tbe results were uniformly beneficial. Tills was quite apparent in their improved complex ions. Some of them said that in addi tion to eating oranges they had made it a practice to squeeze the juice of a lemon into a tumbler of water and drink it the first thing in the morn ing. These women are uniformly en thusiastic over their experiment and are firmly convinced that by freely eating oranges and drinking lemon juice from time to time, the liver is kept in perfect condition and of course a perfect-functioning liver is the secret of a good complexion. Special Correspondent Health Advocate. Oranges for Grippe If people only half realized what an exceedingly valuable medicinal food they have in the orange, the crop of California, vast as it is, would all be consumed a the Pa cific Coast, leaving none for ship ment east of the Rocky Mountains. Any one who makes a practice of partaking freely of citric acid, eat- lng at least three oranges a day morning, noon and at night tak ing a little lemon juice in water be tween times, need fear no epidemic of grippe or other disease.

Served as Head of State Govern ment From 1864 to 1868. RESIGNED TI1E OFFICE' Gave Up His Position to Indians. Fight Troubles of the Young State to Pay Legislators. Texas Cattle Toted to Liquidate Salary Claim. Kx-uovernor Samuel J. Crawford is In the city this week on his way home to Baxter Springs from a long visit In Washington, and while here called at the state house to see Governor Stubbs, He is in good health and spirits and carries lightly his seventy-four years, most of them spent in active public life. "I celebrated my 74th birthday last Saturday," he said. "I am on my wav to my farm near Baxter Springs to look after corn planting and the gath ering together of a herd of Angora goats." Governor Crawford was willing to talk of crops as the most Interesting subject of the present time and of the battles of the old Second Kansas cav alry as the most pleasing recollection cf other days. The Second Kansas at Maysville. Col. Crawford was elected governor cf Kansas in 1864 and served until 1868. During the war he commanded the Sec ond Kansas cavalry, one of the state's crack regiments during that struggle. When this regiment was first formed it was as an infantry regiment, but after taking part in the battle of Wilson Creek in Missouri the regiment was re organized as a cavalry regiment, still retaining Its lucky number, the Second. Governor Crawford, while in Governor Ex-Governor Samuel 3. Crawford, Who Talked Ancient History While In Topeka Today. Ho Is Known as One of tile Grand Old Men of Kansas- The Great Family Liniment For Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sprains, Bruises, Sore Throat, Cold in Chest, Asthma, Bronchitis, Dim cult Breathing, Cold in Head and Catarrh. A- simple rubbing with Omega Oil is often all that is re quired to stop the went pain. Stubbs' office today, told the Interest-1 ing story of the part played by the Second Kansas cavalrv in the battle of Maysvllle, Ark. The Union army reach ed the battle ground after two days and nights of forced marching and the men and officers were worn out. At 2 o'clock in the morning the tired troops were ordered to advance and form in line of battle. Officers and men were sleeping on their arms and some of the regiments were tardy in responding to the call. The Second Kansas, however, commanded by- Col. Crawford, ad vanced promptly through the darkness and Just at daylight came in contact with the rebel skirmish line. When it got light enough to see the battle field Col. Crawford realized that his regi ment was alone, as the rest of the army had not yet come up. No one seemed to know where the lost troops were located. The rebels unlimbered a battery which soon begun to play havoc with Col. Crawford's men and horses. The men had dismounted and were engaging the enemy's pickets. Col. Crawford did not know how large a force was in front of him nor did he know how soon his supports would ar rive, but prompt action was necessary, so he ordered a charge. The Kansans advanced briskly and the rebel line crumpled up and fled, leaving their battery behind. Just at this moment the sun came up and revealed the six belated regiments of the- Union army advancing over the prairie at the double quick. They came Just In time to see the Second Kansas at Us best. Col. Crawford declared that it was the finest morning he ever saw. The Famous legislature of 1868. During Col. Crawford's second term as governor of this state the legisla ture of 1868 was convened, the most important legislative body in the his tory of Kansas, for at that session was enacted statutes which cover practically every subject of our civil policy. In fact, that legislature made the law of the land, so far as this state is concerned. The State Historical society has re cently published a book which con tains the address on the legislature of 18 68 delivered by John Dawson at Hill City in 1904 from which is taken the following Interesting facts: "At this session the law of married women was framed for the enlight ened age of the present, and nothing of the dead past when woman was a chattel is contained In its sacred sec tions. It bids fair to remain un touched while Kansas endures." Gov. Crawford is referred to by Daw son as the "grand old man" of Kansas and his second message to the legisla ture was a masterpiece of common sense and of sound and progressive suggestions. That body responded with a record breaking session at which the following multitude of vitally important laws were con sidered and enacted: "These were the .laws of the apprentices; assignment; attorneys at Ayefs Hair Vigor Stops Falling Hair Destroys Dandruff An Elegant Dressing Makes Hair Grow Does not Color the Hair law; bonds, notes and bills; bonds and warrants; commissioners to take depositions; contracts and promises; conveyances; corporations; county boundaries; counties and county of ficers; county seats; supreme district and probate courts; crimes and pun ishments; damages against cities; decents and distributions; elections; executors and administrators; ex emptions; fees and salaries; fences; ferries; frauds and perjuries; fugi tives from Justice; guardians and wards; illegitimate children; impeach ment; Jails and Jurors; landlords and tenants; laws and legislative Journals; lunatics and drunkards; married women and their rights; minors; mortgages; notaries public; oaths; pardons; partnerships; plats of cities and towns; procedure In mis demeanors before Justices; statutory construction; stock; town sites; town ships and township officers; trespass ers; wills." Had Hard Time? to Pay Board Bills. That legislature must have been a remarkable body. The state was poor then, the treasury empty and the mem bers themselves very hard up. Preston Plumb was chairman of the Judiciary committee of that body. But In spite of all their hard work the members found time for a little fun. Just- to show how tight the times were with the legislators, the following resolution offered by Horace Tucker of Douglas Is a case in point: "Whereas, The treasury of the state of Kansas is like the Widow McWhiz t.i's tub when the bottom fell out there is nothing in It; and "Whereas, The landlord and proprie tors of the boarding houses persistent ly refused to accommodate the members of this honorable legislature without ereenbaeks: and "Whereas, At the session last winter board was furnished free at the hotels by the candidates for the United States senator, with many pressing invitations to partake thereof; and "Whereas, A member could get cred it at the saloons for refreshments as long as his thousand dollars lasted; therefore. b it Resolved, That senatorial elections are a good thing. "Resolved, That if they are a good thing, Kansas needs as much of them as any state we know of. "Resolved, That for the relief of the landlord and landladies of Topeka, and in order that the charitable enterprises may prosper it is necessary that we should have a senatorial election every session. "Resolved, That the shepherd of the little flock' be called upon publicly to state, whether when said, 'little flock' comes into possession of the kingdom they will have senatorial elections ev ery session or not" Texas Cattle in Payment of Salaries. In explanation of the term "little flock" 'used in the above resolution it might be well to say that the state at that time had acquired a considerable number of Texas cattle, evidently strays,;' and the disposition of these cattle had been referred to a special committee,. which reported as follows: "Tour special committee to whom was referred the resolution to appoint a subcommittee to dispose of the state's Interest in Texas cattle have nad the matter under consideration and would respectfully recommend that as a large majority of the members of this house are farmers, that they be re quested to take, these Texas cattle as legal tender for all claims that they may have against the state for per diem and mileage. As regards the oth er members lawyers, doctors, etc., your committee can see no legal claims they can have against said cattle, but would recommend that they be consti tuted as a committee to draft a law restricting the state government from speculating in Texas cattle unless they have good reasons to believe the funds will be returned prior to the annual meeting of the state legislature." State Had 500 Miles of Railroad Then. In his message to the legislature of 1868 Governor Crawford called atten tion to the fact there was $56,276,000 on the tax rolls of the state. This sum is twelve millions less than that shown on the rolls of Shawnee county alone last year. The governor also noted with pride that there were 623 miles of railroad in the state. There are over 9,000 miles now. The expenses of the state government,- including everything, at that time, was $274,000. They are about three millions now. Resigned ns Governor to Fight Indians Gov. Crawford resigned his office as governor a few months before the end of his last term in order to or ganize and command a regiment to quell the disturbances that had arisen among the Five Tribes of Indians in this state at that time. Matters looked serious when the governor took the field; but he soon restored tranquil conditions as far as the Indians were concerned. The regiment he organized at that time was one of the most ef ficient in the history of this country, not excepting Roosevelt's famous Rough Riders. It was composed of veterans of the civil war young men then and dare devil fellows and of plainsmen, all dead shots and won derful horsemen. "I won't say that this regiment was as good as the old Second Cavalry," said Gov. Crawford, "for it was never tried by the stern test of a terrible war, but it was a fine body of men, capable of anything, and contained as many dead shots and fine horsemen as any regiment I know of." When asked about the Crazy Snake uprising In Oklahoma, Gov. Crawford smiled and refused to discuss the mat ter. To the old veteran who had tak en the field in 1868 against the Five Tribes thie Oklahoma affair looked like a Sunday school picnic with a female teacher and the leader of the village choir in charge.

The material is cement and gravel in the approved "proportions for the best class of work, and Is re inforced with steel through out. The method of manu facture produces an air-tight and waterproof vault of ex ceeding strength, grace and lightness. When we say waterproof, we mean it in the sense that a bathtub is waterproof. When we say lightness, we mean that It Is as light as is consistent with strength and material. This vault is handled, however, as easily as any of the steel vaults that are on the market. By our method, there are amalgamated with the concrete of the walls, bot tom and lid of the vault steel wires about three Inches apart. Those of the walls run lengthwise and those of the bottom and lid run both ways. Being a part of the nails and gripped by the concrete so tightly as to be one mass. It 1 easily seen that to break the vault In the middle, nearly every wire In both of the walls would have to be PULLED apart.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOFtttaI-SATUBDAY EVENING. APRIL 17, 1909. FALL BHAYSIDE Almost 300 Cards a Day Held at Postofftce. Insufficient Postage and Poor Addresses the Cause. 7,000 CARDS A DAY Topeka lias the Postcard Habit .Badly. Foreman J. J. Fritz Gives In teresting: Facts. Do the people of Topeka realize that almost 300 of their post' cards are held at the local postofflce every day because they do not conform with the Iron-clad postal laws Issued by the United States government? This is a fact nevertheless and according to Postmaster A. K. Rodgers it is a good time for the people to take due note cf the fact and reform their careless communications. In talking with J. J. Fritz, foreman of the mailing' division of the post office a State Journal reporter was surprised to obtain the above facts. There are an average of 275 post cards held for postage or sect to the dead letter office every day in the local building. During the Easter season the average climbed to almost 500 a day. The causes for this wholesale killing of messages, good, bad and otherwise are many and varied. They extend all the way from utter carelessness and negligence to the deepest of ignorance. And in some cases the ignorance is not the fault of the public. It might be interesting to explain a few of the laws concerning the send ing of post cards Mr. Fritz stated this morning that an explanation of this kind would cut down the dead let ter and hold over cards 60 per cent. There is a vast amount of trouble in connection with the tinsel post cards. In the first place a tinsel card cannot be sent through the mall un less It is enclosed in a transparent en velope or an envelope bearing a two-cent stamp. If a transparent en velope Is used it must be sealed and the stamp placed on the outside. Many people place the stamp on the Inside and it is necessary to remove the card to cancel the stamp. It isj through the removal of these cards that one nostal clerk lost his life, re ceiving a cut on the tinsel thus caus-' lng blood poison. Here is another rule that must be observed the envelopes must be sealed. This is partly the fault of the manufacturers of the en velopes. They do not place any muci lage on the envelope lapel and they do not print any rules concerning the use of the cards. Another ban has been placed upon the tinsel cards. It is all right to send the card sealed and nil with a one-cent stamp on the out side but if there Is any other com munication whatever on the card it must go as a two-cent fare. Nothing Tut the address of the consignee and the cor-signer are allowed. Summing all up: X tinsel card must be enclos ed in an envelope. The envelope must te sealed. The stamp on the outside end nothing but the two addresses. Otherwise it will be held in the office for postage or sent to the dead letter tffleo in Washington. For two cents anything legitimate can be written on the card but the envelope must be pealed and the stamp placed in the tame manner. There is a big rush at the present time on post cards with a little en velope attached on the off side. These little envelopes generally contain love messages and the like printed. These will go for one cent all right if the little envelope Is not sealed. If there Is any other writing inside it will again violate the one cent law. For two rents anything can be written in the little envelope and It can be sealed. This Is another mistake of the man ufacturers because they have placed the mucilage on the lapels and have printed no Instructions. In Topeka the post card salesmen are selling a large number of double cards with the littla wire clips. These cards In proper form will reach their destination for one cent. But If a message of any kind is written on the card 1 it means a two cent fare and tha person to whom the card is ad dressed will receive due notice of the came. This should make It embarras sing for the love lorn swain who makes it necessary for the sweetheart to pay for the delivery of the card. The leather cards have long been under the ban. They are losing their prestige since the ruling of the pos tal authorities and they are doomed to the sofa pillow and the wall cov ering. The leather post card does not conform with the post card laws in the least. It Is not the same texture as the official cards Issued by the government therefore It Is watched carefully. The leather card can be sent for one cent if it Is sent with no THE H.B.H0WARD TKADC OFFICIAL (LIGHT j-POWERl J SJJPPLYCO. YOUR LAWN will need cutting soon.

But even if the word "yes" or "no" is written in an obscure corner it will be threwn in the corner awaiting postage from the victim to whom It was sent." There are from 40 to 50 card held at the local postofflce, every day for a lack of postage. Mr. Fritz directs the usual cards to the consignee an J they must send these cards back in a sealed envelope with the required postage included. This means that a person must pay at least three cents for the privilege of receiving a card from a friend and It may not oe wcrth the trouble or money. Then there is the usual number Oi careless mistakes such as giving the name without an address, the town withe, ut a state, the state without a town, the address without a naie, and finally the card with -nothing but the stamp as a limit to the whole list a card with nothing on it whatever. Some people have a habit of slam ming the stamps on the back of the post card. Here is another unpardon able cr.me.- The postal emplorts are not allowed to deface th& back of a card In any manner and to cancel such a stamo would violate the rules issued by Uncle Sam. So here is an other case where the sender of a post card is left to wonder why he did not receive a reply. All holidays are big times for the handling of post cards. Christmas and Easter are the record breakers. This last Easter was the largest in the his tory of the office. However, Mr. Fritz states that the souvenir post card business In not increasing at the alarming rate of a few years ago. In terest in comics and tinsels Is waver ing and the photograph and scenic cards carry away the honors. Mr Fritz said this morning that the local post office handles over 7,000 post cards every day. OFFICERS TOO FRESH. Junction City Police Given Heavy Fines for False Imprisonment. It would have been a good thing for representative policemen all over the country to have heard the lecture given by Judge John C. Pollock at the leucrai v u u i i- mo. o named Samuel Sullivan was arrested by policemen in Junction ny sus pected of stealing diamonds. He car-Li-j i iQnv lmifA wViiob ri i H not rieu a i v i j.v. conform with the law by about an inch and' he was also cnargeu nu carrying concealed weapons. iu Sam Sullivan is a big hearted Irish man fresh from Dublin who proudly boasts in his petition that he is a sub ject of King Edward VII. He was thrown in jail In Junction City and several officers hinted to him that he could be released and leave town if he would "come across" with the diamond. All of these things hurt the pride of the wearer of the green and when he could talk through the bars he hired an attorney. The case was taken to the federal court and Judge-Pollock and the Jury agreed on giving the Junction City officers all they were entitled to in the fine. Mar shal E. J. Pritchett, Patrolmen Henry Folk and H. C. Church received a fine of $2,500 for false imprisonment. In his talk before the Jury Judge Pollock clearly defined the rights of an officer of the la and a lawabiding citizen, severely criticising a man who oversteps his rights and blocks the passage of one who is within bounds. The fine in the federal court will teach the policemen over the country a good lesson and open their eyes in promis cuous arrests. UNDER ONE NAME Chicago Charities Are Consolidated Under One Set of Officers. Chicago, April 17. The two prin cipal charitable organizations of Chi cago have been consolidated under the name of the United Charities of Chicago, a union of the Chicago Relief and Aid society and the Chicago Bu reau of Charities.

When Police Captain Robert Cutshaw arrest ed tw? men in the waiting room of the Santa Fe depot and escorted them to pulice station charged with vag rancy, he little realized that he would shortly be the object of a huge joke. ten minutes later. However, he dis covered that for once he had made a mistake and had taken Into custody not vagrants but two of the wealthiest stockmen of Nickerson. The ranchers, whose, names were not recorded in the police blotter, nearly caused the captain to have a fit of apoplexy when, upon being ques tioned at headquarters, as to how much money they had.- produced a letter of credit from a Nickerson bank for $5,000.

Two divorce suits were filed in dis trict court last evening. Adelia Mc Ayoy wants a divorce from Frank D. McAvoy, and a restraining order to prevent him from annoying her. Elizabeth B!Mfngs wants a divorce from J. A. .MlHngs because of non support. The county commissioners, who went to Rossville yesterday to in vestigate the Burbonla creek-bridge, have not decided upon a course of ac tion. The residents of that district want the bridge and approaches raised, on the grounds that high water invariably floods both ends of the structure. The case in city court against Edgar Harris and Thomas Collins, Richland boys who were charged with disturbing the peace, has been dis missed. Joe McLaughlin, the com plaining witness, has recovered from the grouch he contracted when the boys awakened him at a late hour by singing under his window. George Dusenberry. deputy sheriff, has been detailed to watch the Sar dou avenue bridge, and prevent hilarious farmers from racing their teams across the structure. People in the neighborhood have made com plaint, .but refuse to swear out war rants for the speeders. Dusenberry will "lay" for those who use the bridge for a quarter-stretch.

AN EXCITING WEEK. Wheat One of the Principal Factors of Uncertainty. New York, April 17. Prices of stocks have moved with some uncertainty and irregularity during the week. Specula tive profit taking was largely responsi ble for signs of weakness, and the sharp advance in special stocks were regard ed as being fostered to facilitate this liquidation. There was a perceptible growth of anxiety over the promise of grain crops. The excited speculation in the wheat market and reports of backward development of winter wheat and unfavorable weather for the plant ing of spring wheat were factors in this anxiety. Reports from the steel and copper trades were encouraging. In crease in idle freight cars in the last half of March made a bad Impression. The money market remained tranquil, but slightly firmer in tone. STUCK IN HIS TEETH. Policeman- Claims to Have Bought $150 Pearl In a 5 Cent Sandwich. New York, April 17.
