V V lr I- r V I' i 1 TAGGARTAPPEARS Former Chairman of Democrat National Committee A Tolnntary Witness in the Gingles Larceny Case TO CLEAR HIS NAME Is His Explanation for His Presence at the Trial. He Swears He ver Saw the Girl in His Life. Chicago,' July 9 Thomas Taggart of French Lick Springs, Ind., former mem ber of the Democratic national com mittee, whose name was mentioned in the testimony given by Ella Gingles. the 18 year old Irish lace maker, took the witness stand today in Judge Bren tano's court for the purpose of clearing his name of any connection with the case. Mr." Taggart was completely exoner ated by U formal statement made by Attorney P. H. O'Donnell, counsel for the Gingles girl, and also by his own testimony. Mice i in trle stntpd while a witness that on the night of the first alleged attack on her she heard the name of Taggart mentioned. Later sne sam she had never seen Mr. Taggart. that he had never written to her nor had he harmed her in any way. She did declare, however, that her assailants had tried to force her to go to French Lick Springs where she would have plenty of money, fine dresses and r.othing to do." Mr. Taggart, in a recent interview cisclaimed all knowledge of Miss Gin gles, but admitted a business acquaint ance with Miss Agnes Barrette, accuser of Miss Gingles, at a time when Miss Barrette conducted a curio stand at French Lick. Mr. Taggart was an early caller at the office of State's Attorney Wayman. Yesterday his attorney, John W. Kern, who was a candidate for vice president on the Bryan ticket last year, paved the way for Mr. Taggart. Examination Is Brier. The interrogation of the witness as to Miss Gingles was exceedingly brief. "Do you know Miss Gingles?" asked Attorney Short. "I do not," answer Mr. Taggart with errmhasis. Miss Gingles' eyes were glued on the witness as ho spoke. She took in every detail of his light suit, his low snoes, and the uiamond which sparkled on his cravat. "Did you ever hear of Miss Gingles before this case?" continued Mr. Short. "Only some months ago -when some body brought me a paper containing the name of Miss Gingles and Misa Barrette." "You were not subpoenaed here by the state, -were you?" 'I was not subpoenaed by anybody. I heard that my name was being used and as a man of family came to clear my narna of any shadow which might have been thrown over it." At this point Attorney O'Donnell repeated with emphasis his state ment, -declaring that there was not a scintilla of evidence in his possession nor in that of his client justifying the use of Mr. Taggart's name. He de clared it had been brought into the case by the prosecution. "You don't know me, Mr. Taggart, Co you?" Mr. O'Donnell asked. "I do not." Gives His Record. As a preliminary to his testimony on the point, which brought him into court, Mr. Taggart stated that he had lived in Indiana for 35 years and that he was married and had been in the hotel business at French Lick Springs for a great many years. "I have been mayor of Indianapolis, chairman of the national Democratic committee, and president of a street railway company," the witness con tinued. "Do you know Miss Barrette, the compiainant in this case?" Yes." "How did you get acquainted?" "She worked as a manicure for a man by the name of Gibson, at French Lick. Ho sold out to her and I, of course, rerented to her, the apartments in one of my hotels." "Did you ever hear anything against her character?" This question started a wrangle between the attor neys, in the midst of which Attorney O'Donnell, addressing both the court and Mr. Taggart, made a formal state ment exonerating Mr. Taggart in ev ery particular, saying: "I want it distinctly understood that Mr. Taggart's name was brought into this case over my protest. We have proof that Miss Gingles wan never acquainted with Mr. Taggart and his name was mentioned only in directly to her. It might have been any one of ten thousand names of vealthy men, but it happened to be Mr. Taggart. and in this particular, Mr. Taggart is unfortunate." "And I don't know you either," said the defense's lawyer. "Oh, you are too busy trying to clear your own skirts," said Mr. Short, glancing sharply at Mr. O'Donnell. "Do you know of any branch of the "white slave' clique that has its headquarters at French Lick?" asked Mr. Short. Asks for Definition. "What is a white slave." Mr. Tag gart inquired with a perplexed look. The definition was given by Mr. Short, and then Mr. Tageart replied: "No. sir, I never knew of any such thing." Mr. O'Donnell again took the wit ness. "Mr. Taggart, who first injected your name in this case?" "I don't know." Mr. Short again interrupted, accus ing Mr. O'Donnell of having given out statements to the papers using Mr. Taggart's name. "I did not," replied Mr. O'Donnell, hotly. "I am not an assassin." Dr. H. W. Watson, house physician of the Wellington hotel, was then called to the stand. Dr. Watson was called to the Well ington hotel bath room when Miss Gingles was found there. "The door had already been opened when I reached it," said the physician, '"and I saw the girl lying on the floor. Her knees were tied to the bath tub and her hands -were bound together and Also to a leg of the tub. Her legs were tied with a stocking, and her hands with a string." "What was her condition?" "She was hysterical but not uncon scious. The pupils of her eyes showed that she -had not been drugged and she was conscious. I asked her her name and she told me and asked me to send for Mr. O'Donnell and Chief of De tectives O'Brien. Then she screamed: 'I won't go into that cab! I won't drink any more wine! They threw pepper into my eyes.' Only a Few Scratches. "I examined her. but found no evi dence of an attack save a few slight scratches." "Miss Gingles was removed to a room and shortly afterward Captain O'Brien and Mr. O'Donnell arrived." Dr. Watson said Mr. O'Donnell called her "Dearie" and attempted to soothe her. Miss Gingles, he said, threw her arms about the lawyer. "Her wounds were- slight and superficial, I believe she did not lose an ounce of blood." "You say there was but one cut on her leg?" Mr. O'Donnell asked on cross examination. "Yes Miss Gingles here bared her arm, exhibiting four scars but Dr. Watson said' he did not recollect seeing such wounds on her at the notel. Henry J. Cox, weather forecaster at Chicago, was called to impeach Miss Gingles' testimony. that .rain fell on the night of January 4. when the first attatt on her is alleged to have been made. Prof. Cox said it was cloudy but that no rain fell. Dr. Watson was then recalled to the stand to identify some strings which had been used to bind Miss Gingles. Miss Barrette laughed aloud when Mr. Short held up the twine which was about an eighth of an inch thick. "Would you say that was all the cordage that was found in the room?" asked' Mr. O'Donnell, on cross examination. "Yes." "You say that this is all that was used to bind her?" "Yes, except the stocking." The trial was then adjourned until Monday owing to Judge Brentano re ceiving word that a brother of one of the jurors had died. DEFENSE CLOSES. Miss Barrette Will Testify in Rebuttal in Gingles Case. Chicago. July 9. The defense in the trial of Ella Gingles has closed. Strong evidence both for and against, the young lace maker was given. The ses sion came to a close with P. H. O'Don nell, the girl's lawyer, and Captain P. D. O'Brien of the detective bureau, who investigated the girl's first story about being attacked in the Wellington hotel February 16, accusing each other of un derhanded motives in the case. Cap tain O'Brien testified that during a conversation he had with Attorney O'Donnell Wednesday night the lawyer said that he did not believe -nme parts of the girl's story. The testimony of the police captain and of nurses at the Frances Wlllard. hospital, where Miss Gingles was taken after the 'Wellington' hotel incidents, showed glaring discrepancies in the girl's various stories. With the re buttal testimony a new sensation is promised in the story of Agnes May Barrette. the young woman against whom Miss Gingles has directed the stain of her narratives. Miss Barrette wept loudly in court when Assistant State's Attorney B, J. Short said that justice would be done her. John Worth Kern, candidate for vice president on the Democratic ticket last fall, called upon State's Attorney Wayman. Mr. Kern has acted in several matters for Thomas Taggart, former chairman of the Democratic committee whose name has been brought into the record of this case repeatedly by Miss Gingles as the man who was involved in the plot to send her to French Lick, Indiana, as a "white slave." Mr. Kern said his visit had nothing to do with this case, explaining that he had come on a civil case. Miss Belle A. Carston, a boarding house friend of the Gingles girl, testi fied that on January 11 the girl told her of having a dream about being at tacked and locked in a room and sub jected to indignities. Miss Carsto: ad vised the girl not to go out after wrk. Miss A. Davis, superintendent of the Frances Willard hospital, said that when Ella Gingles was brought there she told a story about being attacked on the street, having pepper thrown into her eyes, being thrown into a cab and taken to a hotel room. Miss Gingles on the stand denied that she had made any statement-of this kind and made no reference to it in her storv of the attack. Dr. Marv A. Maxson, a trustee of the hospital, told of seeing the girl in bed at the hospital: hid behind the door," said Miss Maxson. "I heard the girl say: "I did not tell Mr. O'Donnell every thing. Don't cut me.' I asked her who had cut her and she said: 'Miss Barrette.' Captain O'Brien was then called to the stand. "I went to the hospital to see her after she was taken out of the hotel bath room." he said. "I was her friend and thought she had been mistreated. I asked her to tell me what had hap pened. "Then she told of being attacked by a man and two women at Goethe and Clark streets. She said Miss Barrette threw pepper into her eyes and the man struck her on the head and push ed her into a cab. She said another woman, whom she recognized as Mrs. Cecilia Kenyon, placed a damp cloth under her nose and she woke up in the hotel. I investigated her story and could not verify any part of it. I told her she was mistaken and she said, 'Yes, that was a lie I told about the cab.' "Then she told the other story about going to the hotel of her own free will." WOLFF IS SPREADING OCT. Topeka Packer Will Have Buyers at Wichita and. Oklahoma City. Wichita, Kan.. July 9. Charles Wolff, the Topeka packinghouse mag nate, was in the city yesterday and looking for a hog market at this point. Mr. Wolff was on his way to Okla homa City where he will establish an order buyer. Mr. Wolff said to a Beacon repre sentative: "You have a lively market here and livestock frcthe south west territory, both hogs and cattle, come in here by logical sequence. Our firm is after hogs and we look to the most logical market. We find it at Wichita. We will establish an agency in Oklahoma City. also, but we look to Wichita for the big end of our hog supply." BARI1ESJS READY Will Meet Bankers' Insurance Question When It Arises. Act on Advice of the Attorney General. SITUATION CHANGES. Now Hinted National Bankers Want Special Session. Now Believed Governor Will De cide Next Week. Insurance Commissioner Charles Barnes was at his desk today and when asked what he would do about regulating the national bankers' insurance company if that question was checked up to him, he replied that he would have to defer his answer to that question until the application for a, permit had been made to his department. By that time the question might have as sumed a different phase. The legal publication in connec tion with the bankers' insurance organization will not have been given public notice a sufficient time as by law provided for some days yet. Af ter that time the bankers will apply to the insurance commissioner for a permit to do business in this state. If he is satisfied with the wording of the charter he will grant the permit; if not he can hold it up and in vestigate and in the end deny the permit for reason. Then the bank ii hoi to resort to the courts to compel him to issue their permit Mr. Barnes stawu legal matters in connection with his -5. v.. i i nn,iltoH with the at- Omce lie Jieii vuuu.vv. torney general as the statute pro- vides that ne snaii u" nn j Vi i t riffirlal's advice. naa iuuucu He and Mr. Jackson, he said, had conferred on many matters n-i eral years in an official way and had never had any friction nor old he expect that they would have any trouble in the future.

National Bankers Anxious. j ,v,a Viaa nri4n another J3Ut WUOJ ureic phase of this vexatious question. It is intimated now mai mo ers themselves want a special session in order to have a special state law be hind their charter for protection as well as regulation. President Ames or A. 1 i- nmnanv 1 nT4 TRCOrd AS favoring a special session but the di rectors of the company mm about the matter and many of them believe that the national bankers should regulate their own affairs by means or tneir cnanci. -"'iJ iu. nicinn9 of this charter to suit themselves.

Stubbs Announces That would be a mere nothing in compari son to the loss to the state in the mat ter of business if the bankers got inio a war. Yet there has been to date no good reason advanced and maintained as to why there should be a special session at all. If the national bankers arewilling to be good; if the insurance missioner can reguiat ethem through their charter, why a special session? Again, it is reported from different sources by men who are in touch with some of the influential members of the last senate that that body will op pose the remedial legislation suggested by the administration. This controversy of the national and state banks over the guaranty ques tion and the spread of the guaranty idea throughout the west has set the big surety and insurance companies to thinking and the state insurance de partment is advised that the larger companies have about decided to add the system of guaranty of bank de posits to their surety program. In other words the fidelity companies would go" on a bank's bond just as they would on that of a public official and maku good all loss to the public If this plan is generally adopted the need of a national bankers' guaranty company -would be done away with. Some of the national bankers are a little afraid of their own charter for the reason that it does not limit the liability of their insurance company. Again it is stated that there is no state law at all under which this bankers' insurance company can do business and they would undergo the uncer tainty of threatened lawsuits facing them under a vague law. If some member of the national bankers' insurance company, acting under the state law in the role of a policy holder,, should appeal to the in surance commissioner for redress the absence of a specific law to cover the case might lead to unlooked for com plications. It is expected that "by the first of next week Governor Stubbs will de cide on the special session program. Most of the men close to the governor are predicting a spefial session, but there is a strong sentiment among men of influence in all walks of busi ness and political life against such an action fur the reason that it is un called for by the circumstances and unwarranted by the facts. The rem edy, they declare, can be found this side of that contingency". TAFTS FALL PLANS. Will Leave Beverly for Seattle Sep tember 15. Philadelphia, July 9. President Taft, on his way back to Washington, spent an hour reading the newspaper accounts of the final tariff fight in the senate. The president expressed himself as deeply ratified that the bill had got ten through the senate. President Taft announced today some of the tentative plans for his trip west in the fall. He also wrote to President Diaz of Mexico that he would be gla4 to meet- him at El Taso, probably' orw October 15. The president expects to start west on his fifty-second birtv day September 15. He will head from Beverly for Seattle, stopping1 at Den ver, Salt Lake and Spokane "'on the way. From Seattle the president will go to Portland, thence to San Fran cisco to Los Angeles, where he will visit his sister; to San Diego, to New Mexico and Arizona, to Texas where he. will spend several days on C. P. Taft's ranch near Corpus Christi; to Houston to. New Orleans, Jackson, Miss.; Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala.; Macon, Augusta, Savannah, Ga.; Wilmington, N. C. Richmond, Va. and then to Washington. IT IS HOT ONCE MORE. The Mercury Mounts to 90 Degrees This Afternoon. Judging from the weather report from the ten Kansas stations, the season of flood is over. A trace of rain at -Topeka was the only moisture reported from any government sta tion in the state for the 24 hours ending at 7 o'clock this morning. At 1:30 this afternoon, the Kaw river was standing at 16.1, and the rise expected this evening is not ex pected to do more than stop the pres ent fall for a few hours. The small streams of the state are rapidly draining off. The government forecast for to night and Saturday is, "Unsettled weather and probably showers." The same prediction for last night and today, failed to materialize. This afternoon the wind is blowing 12 miles an hour from the southeast, and the temperature is rising again to real July weather. The hourly temperatures: 7 o'clock 71 11 o'clock 84 12 o'clock 87 8 o'clock 76 9 o'clock SO 10 o'clock 82 1 o'clock 88 2 o'clock 90 HIS PRESS AGENT IS OUT AGATX. He "W ill Feed Employes of State j rioi f iik' t -rv Tv? e 1 lit NO-MORE DAINTIES Gov. Stubbs Lays Down Law to Heads of Institutions. State to Give Them Only Such Fare as Inmates Have. NEW EMPLOYEE RULE. Only Use Those Who Are Abso lutely Necessary. Revision of the Salary Schedule Is Suggested. The state board of control has sent out to the nine state charitable institu tions letters of instructions -which con tain new and rigid rules. Governor Stubbs, while a member of the legis lature, drew up the board of control law, and now that he is in the gov ernor's chair, he is deeply interested in the administration of these state insti tutions. Among the reforms contained in the new rules is one relating to the bill of fare. The superintendents and employes shall hereafter enjoy the same menu as that provided for the in mates. The governor also holds that it is not necessary to pay the maximum salary in every case to the employes. The budget for the institutions recent ly approved by the governor called for ?284,500 and his excellency frowned over this large amount for some time before placing his O. K. on the sheet. The letter sent to the institutions in part is as folio As: "First, the number of pro vided for by the schedules shall not be employed unless absolutely necessary for the proper carrying out of the ob ject and purpose of each institution. The full amount for each position or grade, as specified in the schedules, shall not "be paid unless it is necessary to do in order to get competent per sons. "Second, while the salaries to be paid in each grade of the service should be uniform in similar institutions, yet the services of different individuals In the various grades may be worth different values to the state. To illustrate, a flat scale of J16 or $18 and board and lodg ing for the laundry help -.-ould pay some persons more than they earn and would not pay rs as much as they earn and there would be no inducement cause a person to do his best service. This applies to every line of the ser vice. Each person is to receive pay ac cording to his or her service up to the maximum amount as fixed in the schedules." No 'one is to be entitled to the maximum amount-for any reason other than -as compensation for serr vices performed. "Third, the board of control law of 1905 provides that .officers appointed by the board may be permitted to re ceive food supplies for their families, but only from the supplies furnished for the patients and inmates of the in stitutions, the intention of the law be ing that the state institutions are sup ported bv the people of the state for the beneft of the patients and inmates and that out of the supplies furnished for this purpose you could be permit ted to receive supplies for your fami lies. Prior to the passage of the board of control law, fruits, delicacies and other supplies were purchased for the officers and employes that were not purchased for the 'patients and in mates, and the object and purpose of the board of control law was to pre vent this. Governor Stubbs being the author of this law; wishes it distinct ly understood that the same must re rigidly enforced. If the officers and employes want food supplies other than what is purchased for the pa tients and inmates of the state hos pitals for the insane and epileptic and feeble-minded institutions and the stu dents of the Children's home, the in dustrial schools and the schools for the blind and deaf, they will have to buy the same out of their own money." DELIVERED BY AIRSHIP. Vender Sends Vp Ice Cream In Bal loons to Balconies. Mexico City, July 9. While for tunes are being spent in other coun tries on the perfection of airship transportation for commercial pur poses, a comparatively modest manu facturer operating in Mexico City has a fully developed and perfected diri gible "balloon fleet with which he daily sends his wares to his customers. Diodoro Lopez manufactures and peddles ice cream, dr what at one time in the United States was called hoky poky, among a large group of clients in portions of the Fourth and Sixth wards. Arriving at the houses of his Institutions on Inmate Fare. zzz NKPirssa k- :i customers, he rings a bell and a ser vant or someone else comes out to his cart to take in the cream. Until re-centl'- persons living on second and third floors had first to rush to the front balcony and yell down for Dio doro to wait until they could go down stairs. This inconvenience has been overcome entirely, and now Diodoro, the only practical aerial navigator for commercial purposes known to be doing business on the continent, sends the cream up by airships. A few days ago he was seen doing his beat, and in addition to his usual outfit he carried a number of toy rub ber gas balloons. He arrived in front of the house of a second-story cus tomer, rang his bell, and when a member of the family appeared on the balcony he sent .up. a halloon by a line thread. When the customer had hold of the thread, he tied on a strong cord, which was then drawn up by means of the thread, and. in turn a small bucket containing the cream was drawn up by the cord. When the cream was taken out, Diodoro drew in the whole outfit by the string and proceeded to the next house. DOYN WITH THE FRATS. National Educational Association Takes Action Against Them. Denver, July 9. The election of Jaa. T. Joyner, superintendent of public in struction of North Carolina, as presi dent of the National Educational as sociation led up to a series of parlia mentary situations which threatened for a time to rend the inner circle of the association. Mr. Joyner was elect ed on the second ballot and his rise to the presidency was the cause for grati fication by the enemies of the so-called book trust. Mr. Joyner all along has been the avowed, candidate of the antl-eetopusites." and when his elec tion over Ben Blewitt. head of the St. Louis schools, and Dr. J. H. Phillips of Birmingham, Ala., was announced there was much rejoicing among the antls. Immediately afterwards the resolu tion committee appeared with a quiet enough arrangement of "resolves" and "thank yous." Innocent, indeed, ex cept in one essential and this referred to the Democracy of the schools. The clause dealing with the subject main tained that democracy is absolutely necessary. After setting forth elaborate ly the committee views, the resolution explained that to make this democracy stand out in the true light of Jeffer sonian simplicity, it would be the dis agreeable duty of the preceptors to smite the fraternity evil in the high schools of the land. After some commotion the anti-fra ternity clause went through without amendment. Henceforth, therefore, the fraterlty will meet with official oppo sition in the high school. The fraternity clause brought out more resolution. First of all, there was a clause about simplified spelling. It recited that this might not be a propitious occasion for the renewal of the Roosevelt-Mathews innovation, yet the matter might bear inspection and for that reason the res olution was. adopted. Protest against it brought forth the explanation that the resolution was merely tor the pur- cose of investigation and aid not bind the association to amputated English. DEFENDS DIVORCE. Fmer Justice Brown Replies to Cardinal Gibbons. Old Point Comfort,- Va., July 9. Describing as a "gruesome picture" that drawn by Cardinal Gibbons in his views upon divorce, Henry B. Brown, former Justice of the supreme court of the United States, spoke at the meeting of the Maryland State Bar association. "The law and its procedure in di vorce," was the subject discussed by Mr. Brown. He held that divorce fairly obtained and upon due and personal notice to the other side generally rebounds to the welfare of both sides and. proves a real bless ing. "The head of the Roman Catholic church in America, a man for whom I have profound respect." said Mr. Brown, "has painted divorce as 'A monster licensed by the laws of Christian states, to break hearts, to wreck homes and ruin souls.' This is certainly a gruesome picture. "No system of laws adopted by an idealist of a hundred years ago and taught by a following of pious and conscientious enthusiasts can main tain its authority forever, however exalted its origin, if it run counter to the traditions, customs and general moral standing of the people. "It is not proved why the partner ship created by marriage should so far dlfTer from a commercial partner ship that one may be dissolved at pleasure while the other is absolutely tndissolvable. "A proper regard for the interests of the state, as well as the preserva tion of domestic happiness. would seem to require that when the whole obligation of the matrimonial pact had been defeated by the habitual, persistent and uncontrollable conduct of either party and that relation which should represent the acme of human happiness is made to stand for all that is most repugnant to our desire and anticipations, a severance of the tie should be permitted. "The story of domestic un happiness Is only too famllar." DENOUNCES CHINESE. Bishop D. II.

Selee will be remembered as the winner of pennant aftef pennant for Boston in the old National league. He was man ager of the Boston team when Dick Cooley played in the outfield. Two years ago he took hold of the Pueblo team, hoping that he could still con tinue with the game,- while in the mountain atmosphere.

Watt is now with Omaha, and hasn't won a game, but it -would be Topeka's usual luck to have Watt in great form should he pitch in the present series. There is a letter at baseball head quarters for F. B.' Burnum. He can have it by calling. Claude Maxwell, Lincoln's new semi professional pitcher, has reported and looks good to Manager Billy Fox. He is now waiting for a suitable oppor tunity to get the youngster started in the game. The Lincoln News sizes up the situa tion from a Sioux City standpoint as follows: The town band met Ducky Holmes pennant-chasing outfit at the Sioux City depot last night and the fans made a heap of fuss over the re turn of their pets. Ducky's crew has been playing stunning ball on the road. Eighteen victories and only ten defeats is going some. A few misguided news paper prophets, disregarding the fine showing made by the Sioux on the road, have recently uttered the predic tion that the race for the flag this year will be between Omaha. Denver and Sioux City. Not a thing has transpired during the going to date to indicate that the Grizzlies or the Rourkes are in the same class with the Sioux, and unless Ducky takes a tumble- to the danger of making a runaway race and deliberately weakens his club, the shouting will all be over before Au gust 1. Ducky's club is at home for twenty games beginning today. Where is the ball club that can hope to stop him? Lincoln News: Harris, Topeka's young pitcher, who finished the Mon day afternoon game against Lincoln after the avalanche that buried Mr. McClintock, is a performer of rare promise. Under the guidance of a vet eran like Dick Cooley, Harris ought to develop into a sterling twiner. The new owners of the Lincoln club are moving picture magnates, who operate two picture theaters in Lincoln Here is a note of warning to the To peka and Wichita fans, which the local fans should profit by before it is too late: Joplin, Mo., has dropped out of the Western association, the switch of Wichita and Topeka to the Tip O'Neill league apparently having sounded the death knell of the Shively organiza tion. Meanwhile it is a fact that unless the two Kansas towns begin to show better class at the box office, the West ern league magnates will soon quit en thusing over the expansion of the cir cuit to eight clubs. Both towns have good ball clubs and the fault is with the public, which needs a speedy in jection of ginger before the situation becomes chronic. Another secret has leaked out. Block, the Minneapolis catcher, is playing un der an abbreviated name. His real name is Blockeweiz. The real name of Swift, the Pueblo catcher, however has them all beaten, not even excepting the name of Cornelius McCrilltcuddy, the leader of the Philadelphia Athletics, who is more commonly known as Con nie Mack.

Two promising youngsters of the Western league at the present time owe their start to the late Frank Selee. Two years ago Selee saw Corhan and Nle hoff playing with an Albuquerque hign school team and got them started in the professional game right away. Hla good judgment in finding these young sters has never been questioned by magnates or fans. Corhan is now una of the leading shortstops of the leagu, and is one of the most valuable men on the Pueblo team, while Nlehoff Is starring at the third corner for Des Moines. Another roast on the Topeka fans from the Sioux City Tribune: Topek Is also complaining about the attend ance. Yet Cooley is third in the race and has been in first division all sea son.

Mrs. Emma Lmse, 833 First St., Milwaukee, Wis. The above is only one of the thou sands of grateful letters which are constantly being received by the Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn, Mass., which prove beyond a doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, made from roots and herbs, actually does cure these obstinate dis eases of women after all other means have failed, and that every such suf ering woman owes it to herself to at least give Lydia E.

Edward Payson Weston arrived here shortly after midnight after a walk of 63 miles. After resting until 7 a. m. he left through the snow sheds toward the Sacramento valley." Weston was feeling- in the best of spirits and an nounced that he expected to reach Sacramento Saturday afternoon and San Francisco Tuesday. In his course down the slope of the Sierres he expects to follow the rail road most of the way. MIGHT PLAY A FAILURE. STRIKE 'AT TAFT HOME. Ended by Importation of a Strike breaker Prom Washington. Beverly, Mass., July 9. There has been a strike in the Taft household. It ended in a lockout and the Impor tation of a strikebreaker from Wash ington. Mrs. Jeffrey, the housekeep er, settled It with a quick show of determination. The good old cow Rosebud, brought down from Derry. N. H., to supply the president's family with fresh milk, was to blame for the trouble. Rose bud has a habit of supplying enough milk for a whole dairy. Consequently her milker hae .a wholesale job on his hands. Thomas J. Wallace, a Beverly lad 16 years old. who always was voted the best milker around these parts, had the job. He was filled with pride until he discovered the kind of a con tract he had taken. Then he struck for higher pay. Mrs. Jeffrey discharged Wallace forthwith. Then she telegraphed to Washington for Wm. Scott, official milker of the Taft household there, to come to Beverly. PRISONER IS INSANE. Slysterious Woman Voluntarily Spent Five Years In Jail. New York. July 9. Charlotte Cral tor, who has been a voluntary prison er in the Torkville police court prison for five years, is now insane in Belle vue hospital. When she first asked to be committed to the prison she adopt ed a little kitten which became her sole companion there. The cat died recently and the woman grieved over the matter until she lost her mind, the doctors say permanently. There has always been much mys tery about the woman. Of apparent refinement and superior education it was believed that she had sought the prison as a hiding place from the world, but why she did so she would never tell. She was first committed for six months on her own request as a vagrant and at the expiration of each such term she was recommitted. In the prison she was found useful as an assistant to the matron. The matron believed that she came from a well to do Indianapolis family and that she had prosperous relatives in Cleveland and Chicago, but every effort to draw her out on this matter proved unsuccessful. FINDS SULTAN'S CASH. A Wasliington Man Says He Knows Where It Is. Spectators Can 3fot Follow Play at Electric Lighted Ball Parks. Detroit. July 9. The attempt to pro mote night baseball here last night was not a. success. The novelty of the test drew an im mense crowd to the park, there being over 5.000 present. But in spite of searchlights and the numberous high lamps it was shown to be quite impossible to follow a By ball. Even the general location of the ball could not be told and the spectator never knew who to watch for such a play. CHEESE WEIGHS 1.950 POCXDS. Largest One Ever Made Is Shipped to Chicago. mica, N. Y., July 9. The largest cheese ever manufactured in the Mo hawk valley has been shipped to a Chicago firm by the local cold storage company. The cheese was built in the usual shape, but it measured 32 inches high and 45 inches in diameter and weighed 1.950 pounds. It took about ten tons of milk to produce it and it was pressed into shape by a specially constructed press in a cheese factory, where it was bought by a Chicago firm through a cold stor age company. MOTOR RACTVG AT BRIGHTOX Old Track Has Been Leased for New Features. AVashington. July 9. A resident of Washington, J. c, has informed the Turkish government according to ad vices from Vienna, that Abdul Hamid, the deposed sultan, has large sums on deposit with banks in this country. The "Washington informant expresses willingness to indicate these depositories and the Turkish gov ernment is said to have instructed the Turkish embassy at Washington to investigate. When Abdul Hamid was deposed following the mutiny of April 13, it was reported tnat ne naa many mll-i lions of dollars on deposit in the oanKS or foreign countries. Prom inent New York banks immediately announced that so far as known the ex-sultan had no money in this coun try. Deposits aggregating about 520.000.000 in the ex-sultan's name were found in the banks of Berlin and on them he has since drawn an order for $5,000,000 in favor of the new Turkish administration. TWO DEAD; TWO MISSING Canoe Containing Four Overturned in San Diego Bay. San Diego, Cal., July 9. Two per sons are believed to have been drown ed and two others were rescued almost exhausted by the overturning of a canoe on san JJlego bay at midnight last nignt. xne missing: William Bates, 24, an employe of tne city engineer s omce. Mrs. William Bates, his wife, a young Drzae. Charles Remondino, 21. and H. G. McCoy, 20, were rescued clinging to the piling or a wharf at the foot of Six teenth street. TIRED OF THE JAIL Woman Incarcerated for Debt Com promises and Gets Out. New York, July 9. The old Brighton Beach -race track has been leased by the Motor Racing associa tion who will convert it into a motor course and hold a series of tourna ments. The first meeting will be held on July 30 and 31 when a 24-hour race for European and American stock cars will be held, preceded by a number of shorter races. This will assure the preservation of the famous track for sporting events. It was proposed to cut the property up into building lots. Chicago, July 9. Mrs. Emma E. Kershaw, after spending 95 days of her six months self-imposed sentence in the county Jail, has canitulated bv paying $50 of the $195 debt which had caused her plight and thus se cured her release. Mrs. Belle McClelland, who was re sponsible for the woman's Incarcera tion on a Judgment obtained for slander, readily accepted the com promise settlement. Mrs. Kershaw's husband, who is wealthy, desired to pay the Judgment when it was rendered, but his wife forbade him, preferring to go to Jail rather than give the money to Mrs. McClelland. Babies Defy Heat Remedy FREE The summer is a very trying time for children.

Signora Puccini Sent to Jail for Charges Against Girl. Rome, July 9 Signora Puccini, wife of Giacomo Puccini, the composer of "Madame Butterfly." has been sen tenced to five months' imprisonment and a fine of $120, in addition to costs and damages, the latter to be fixed by a separate court. Some months ago Signora Puccini accused her husband and a maid in her employ of having improper relations. The girl protested her innocence and subsequently com mitted suicide. An autopsy proved that the charges against the girl were base less. The accusations of the wife, how ever, resulted in a "separation, and quickly after this the mother of the girl instituted suit against Signora Puccini.

Taking as a text a petition against an Immoral press forwarded by the Catholic women of Bergamo to the minister of the interior and bearing several thousand signatures, the Osservatore says: "We hope that competent authori ties will apply the law against these new augean stables and at the same time we cannot but deplore another danger to good morals which cornea to us from other countries and against which the women might well unite. "We refer to the fashions worn in the streets by the women of all ages and by young girls.

Surely there is little consolation for the people hereabouts In the fact that the summer of 1901 was hotter than this one. If Francis W. Cushman. the late rep resentative in congress from Tacoma, rWash.. who died in New York the other day, looked more like Lincoln than any other public man of recent years, his photographs fall to show it. It occurs to the Philadelphia Ledger that "there is something marvelous in the fact that a tree will tower for de cades unscathed of storm and get struck toy lightning the first time any one seeks ehelter under it from the rain." No news has come from the wilds of Africa for some time. There may be a variety of reasons for this and it is not at all Improbable that a good one Is that the supply of roaring lions, peaked-horned deers. etc., has run short. According to the Square Deal the state of Wurttemberg, Germany, spends yearly $2.05 an acre on Its forests, and secures a yearly net income of $6.60 an ecre. France spends 95 cents an acre and earns $1.75 an acre. The United States spends .0093 cents an acre and receives .00086 an acre. Such compari sons as these are too odious to be com iriented on extensively.

Labor organizations, fraternal bene ficiary societies and organizations ex clusively for religious, charitable or ed ucational purposes are to be exempted fmm the measure taxing the net In comes of corporations 2 per cent. But these concessions probably will not quiet the opposition to this legislation which iias become pretty general. Anyhow, It Is corporations other than the ones mentioned that have been howling the loudest about the Injustice of this tax. Tnr sometime now the public here .v.nnt Vihq been under the impression that the project to construct the much needed Topeka-Southwestern railway was as dead as a door nail. But along cornea the refreshing news that a rep ,.ma anil substantial firm of bank ers and railroad builders Is to take up the proposition and the promise Is mafia that the real work of con structing this line will be undertaken soon. It is to be hoped that these promises will come true. This railroad line will mean much to Topeka and the country it will tap. Seemingly It is an Impossibility for ny locality in Kansas situated on a creek or river to dodge a flood of some proportions during the course of a year. ti they don't come in the late spring ft arly summer when they might cat- urally be expected, they arrive at a later date. All of this suggests that the work of building dikes, straightening out streams and taking other precau tionary measures against floods should be carried on incessantly until the point is reached where the. gjossible damage that may be done by them will be re duced to a minimum. INSURANCE LIMITATIONS. During the famous insurance investi gation which was conducted by the au thorities of New Tork state in 1905, all kinds of evidence was adduced to show that many of the larger life Insurance companies were conducting their busi nesses with a more than lavish hand and that they were exceedingly ex travagant with their expenses. As a result, among the various pieces of leg islation which were subsequently adopted by the legislature of the Em pire state for the control and regula tion of the insurance organizations was a provision- which made rigid limita tions of the expense that might be in curred by these companies in tho transaction of their business. There was aftb another provision which lim ited the amount of new business that an insurance comiw.- might negotiate In any one year. These provisions of law have not worked out with anything like satisfac tion to several of the larger insurance companies. This was pointed out ef fectively by President Kingsley of the New York Life Insurance company to the board of trustees of that organiza tion at their annual meeting which was held a couple of months ago. In the case of his companv the limitation on new business is $150,000,000. In order not to transact any more new business than this it has been necessary for that company to materially reconstruct its methods of doing business. This hat. necessitated a reduction in the number of its employes on a large scale. But. distressing as is such a condition of affairs which throws hundreds of per sons out of employment, it is not the important point at issue. Mr. Kingsley told his directors that if the laws did not set a limitation on new business it would have been pos sible for the New York Life to have produced insurance to the amount of $175,000,000 during the year 1908 and still have kept its expenses within the limits prescribed by the statutes. Similar con ditions have likely developed among the other large insurance companies of world-wide scope which are amenable to the laws of New York. Mr. Kingiiey does not see why a company should be limited on the amount of new business it can do as long as it keeps within the limitations of expense which are pro vided by statute. Neither will many other fair-minded men. Discussing this subject some time ago the New York Evening Sun said: 'Experiment' was stamped all over the insurance legislation of 1906. If ex perience has shown, what common sense would have inferred, that the limitation of expense makes the limita tion of new business superfluous, it is time to modify the experiment. Mr. Kingsley's speech should be noted by our lawmakers for its bearings on that sound policy which encourages the am bitious endeavors of Americans to make their business grow." SWIMMING. All the way from the Hawaiian Islands comes an item of news that ought to impress upon the minds of all parents the necessity of seeing to it that their children, boys and girls alike, become proficient in the art of swimming. This Interesting bit of news tells of the wreck of a small power schooner in the sea a quarter of a mile from shore in which forty- two Sunday school children were en- Joying an outing. The aocident was such as to throw all of the occupants of the boat into the water. Most of these children were around the ages of ten and twelve years. And the only fatality that resulted from this serious wreck was the death of an aged Ha waiian woman who expired from ex haustion. Each of the children could swim and most of them easily made the shore, some four hundred yards away, while the others paddled around in the sea until they came across driftwood which helped to keep them afloat until boats came from the land to pick them up. Now if a sim ilar accident had happened to forty two American children the chances are that seventy-five per cent of them would have drowned before "help reached them, simply because they would have been unable to swim. There are few places in this coun try which are so far removed from water that their Inhabitants need not know how to swim. Not only is this art a most essential piece of equip ment with which everyone should be provided In case of an emergency which is apt to confront one at any time, and especially in the summer, but it is also a most healthful exer cise which should be regularly In dulged in. Then it is also the medium for all kinds of good fun and sport. And it is not a difficult proficiency to acquire. Confidence is Its main re quisite and this can only be obtained by continued efforts at swimming with practice of the necessary strokes of the arms and legs to keep the body afloat. There is nothing at all to the theory that a child comes as natural ly by swimming as does a dog or oth er dumb animal; and that all that it si necessary to do to teach a lad to swim is to toss him Into water over his head and depend upon his instinct to show him how to swim ashore. This foolish practice, which is occa sionally followed, usually makes a youngster deathly afraid of water for the rest of his natural life. Boys and girls who have an opportunity to play around water daily can pick up swim ming on their own hook, but the best way to impart it to children is for older folks who know how to get In the water with them and hold them afloat with a hand under the chest while they are learning the strokes. This Inspires the confidence that they need to keep themselves afloat. Sometimes an argument is heard against swimming because it Is fre quently the "best swimmers" who drown. But if honest investigations were made In these cases most of such drownine deaths would be found to be the result of carelessness or foolhardiness, or of remaining in cool water for such a long time that the body becomes numb and the mus cles cramp so that it is Impossible to make any of the variety of the swim ming motions. Many cramps are also due to persons going in for a swim immediately after hearty meals With a proper degree of caution, however, there is little danger in swimming and there is no telling when a child or a grown person, for that matter, will need to know how to swim in order to save his own life or the life of a friend.

In attempting to fix officially the status of dogs as travelers on rail roads the interstate commerce com mission obviously will have a task full of difficulties. Commissioner Prouty has possibly dropped a hint as to the attitude of the body by saying: "I am inclined to think the railway company is not obliged to distinguish between a small dog and a large, for the reason that It would be impossible to draw the line if any dogs were permitted in cars." This, of course, is with relation to the practice of some railways permitting "small dogs" to be given all the comforts of home in passenger coaches, to the greater or less disquietude of dogless passengers. The dog lover and the railway env ploye will rejoice to have the matter settled. It has caused unnumbered controversies in the past and will cause more in the future unless the fiat of the commission shall determine unmistakably the dog's conditions of railway travel. To the dog hater, of course, the solution of the problem is easy. It is to abolish the carrying of dogs on passenger trains. But hu man nature will never obey such a rule, even should the interstate com merce commission be so hard-hearted as to make it. Chicago Record-Herald. THE AERONAUTIC POET. Ah! poet, stay your pen!

Springfield Republican. v Burials in the Abbey. The question of the establishment of an independent authority to decide who is and who is not to be buried in West minster Abbey is larger than people suppose. The vesting of peculiar au thority in deans is of misty origin, and in no case is it less definite than in the case of the collegiate church of St. Peter Westminster. The relationship of a dean, with his peculiar authority, to the bishop of the diocese is very dif ficult to define. Certainly the dean of Westminster is entirely independent of ecclesiastical authority, save in respect to his personal character. Of course, the abbey haa become a Valhalla, but if a nonecclesiastical authority had th.i decision. In what way could it also make a decision as to the religious ser vice to be held? Curiously enough, that is the real question, though in our tolerant day it seems to be absurd. Nor will disestablishment release the singu lar authority of deans, unless cathe drals are taken from the church alto gether, which is not at all likely. It was no mean authority who said "Ah. yes bishops are essential to the exist ence of the church, and deans are only an accident: but you can't prevent ac cidents." The position is curiously Illustrated by the phrase, "Dean and Chapter." Who ever heard nowadays of a chapter having an Idea of its own? Dundee Advertiser. Out of the Mouths of Babe.

He was an artist, ordained by his Maker and indorsed by the Royal academy, but because one to whom he had made a plea had broken faith, he had drawn a brush of fresh paint across his last picture and lock ed his studio door. Then he had gone down to a little place In the valley. Here he planted fields of lilies, toiling from morning mist until the lowing cattle at twi light. Then he went Into the tiny, tumble-down cottage and sought his sea of dreams. He worked steadily in his f lewer fields, watching and wait ing for the fulfillment One morning he looked out upon a sea of lilies, white, purple and pink tin ted. "The only true pictures I ever made," he thought. Many persons rode down the little cross-road to see the wondrous field, and many a car honked brazenly at his door that imperious, dust-coated women might demand a purchase of lilies. "I love flowers too well to sell them," he always replied to such as these; but to the humble wayfarer, to the wistful-eyed children, he was a generous giver. One day a phaeton stoppea m tne roadway, and the occupant, a slender girl, came down the path. She did not ask the stereotyped question. "You have so many lilies," she said half-timidly. "Will you spare me a few?" He didn't answer for a moment. He was comparing the faint tints under neath her exquisite pallor with the shades of .his lilies. "Are they for some one who Is ill he asked gently. "For one who has been. Ill," she made answer. He understood. "Do you want the white ones?" "No; the pink, please, if I may." He cut ruthlessly of his fair est lillpa "I wish I could do more than thank you," she said, as they came back to the doorway. "If there is anything I can do for you Inside glancing within. "I keep it clean," he answered TllSAli. "Yes, but a man can't 'tidy.' you know." "And how do vou know," he asked "that I haven't a woman about to 'tidy' for me?" "Viii nnd vour lily fields are far- famed. I live ten miles from here, but I have heard of you as living here alone, and that you refuse lilies to people who asked for them. "And vet vou ventured?" T iiart driven Dast and had seen them. I knew that one who worked among such beautiful flowers must love them, and one w,o loved them would not reiuse me anu no nuc "T Txrnn id not have refused if you had asked me to give them to you for yourself," he repnea quicKiy. "T must bo." she said presently. "Is it far to to the place where vnn ore taklntf the lilies?" "Five miles from here. Half way to my home." "Anv time that you come, he said earnestly, "I shall cut the lilies for you. At twilight he walked to the ceme tery and searched Jealously for a grave decked with nis lines. xais heart gave a bound when he found that it'wasia-tiny mound. OS the second day he picked lavishly of his lilies and walked again to the cem etery, covering the little grave with the pink-white lilies. Two days Utter he saw her phaeton stopping before the house. "Oh, It was you!" she cried breath lessly. "You took fresh lilies." "Yes. it was I," he replied, "I shall be glad to take them again." "My little sister was blind, she said simply. "Light brings no happiness. And after a moment, he asked, "will 'you not come in and see my -little house?" She gave a little cry of pleasure at the simplicity and the few skillful touches of his artist hand. "It is beautiful," she said, "but do you never get lonely?" "I have the lilies," he reminded her "and memories." "Have you, too," she asked softly, "lost some one?" "Yes, but not in the best way not by death. It is a comfort, surely, to mourn for one who Is dead only dead." He looked into her startled eyes, and felt a sudden shock of knowledge. Had he really felt the loss of the one he mourned, or only the loss of something she had taken from him? He -was con scious of a sense of relief as if some thing had been lifted from him. "I am going to parade my culinary skill and offer you some light refresh ment. May 1. Miss "My name," she said, smiling, and adapting herself to his change of mood, "is Clare Wynthrop." She looked at him expectantly. "My name," he said slowly, "is Sherman." "Will you come to my home some day, Mr. Sherman." she asked naively after their luncheon of brown bread, cream and fruit. "I will come tomorrow," he replied. The following day he drove to her home, his cart filled with lilies. She lived in a rambling brown house with an oak park in front and an old fashioned garden at the back. Her mother was an invalid. The following days were passed In pilgrimages to the little grave. in visits to her hbme and drives in her phaeton. One day he read of a new kind of lily and he went to the near est city to buy the bulbs and learn how to nurture them. The florist was away. The artist waited a week for him. When he returned to his lit tle cottage he found a note under the door signed "Clare." The doctor had ordered an ocean voyage for her mother and they had gone abroad for Six months. He found no light in his lilies now. The next week some workmen came and put skylight in the roof of his tiny dwelling. The passersby con cluded he was making a greenhouse. When the work was completed he brought his studio appointments and began to work as unceasingly within as he had without. When his picture was finished he took it to the city Art critics stood silent before it. It was his masterpiece. On the day after her return he asked Clare to go with him to an art gallery. "Did my letter of the 2d reach you?" he asked. ."Yes; Just as we were about to sail." "And did you know what it was I aid you had restored to me?" "I think so," she said. He led her straight to a picture. She was strangely silent as she gazed upon the picture of a slender girl with trustful eyes. Her arms were full of liltee. j Finally ahe turned to her catalogue. I "The Light of the Lilies Sherman I Waldemar." I "Oh," she gasped. "Are rou Mr. Waldemar, the artist?" "I am. though I was much hapi'.ei as Sherman, the gardener. But vio you like the picture? Do you mied my having pamtea your it is ir myself for my own. It is th har vest of my lilies." "I know, now," the said in a low. sad tone, "what It was you meant I had restored to you. It was the desire to paint." "No!" he protested. "JNot tnat. you restored my faith. No, Clare, I love you, and you only.' (Copyrighted 1907, by Associated Literary .tress.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURUAL FRIDAY EVENING JULY 9, 1909. RAiLROADJJEWS. JfeTV Invention May EeTOlution ize Art of Boiler Making. 5 THE "GOOD CLDTHES'STQRE n V 0 .0 I V Va Work of H. W. Jacobs and F.W. Shupert of Santa Fe. COMES T EXCELS IN MAN I WAYS Is Being: Tested Between Needles and Selignian. MOW H BIG AND QUIC h 1 1

1 1 V. t 5 1 Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. An Invention that promises to revolutionize the art of boiler making is being tested by the Atchison. To peka Santa Fe Railroad company on the Arizona division from. Keedles to Seligman and on the coast lines, eays the Railway Record. It is the work o H. W. Jacobs, assistant su perintendent of motive power at To peka, Kan., and F. W. Shupert, boiler maker foreman at San Bernardino, Cal. The Jacobs-Shupert firebox is a radical departure from the usual form of locomotive boiler construc tion. The usual flat firebox sheets and outer shell are replaced by seta of channel sections securely riveted together and the usual form of troublesome staybolt is replaced by stay sheets, except at the rront ana door sheets. The Jacobs-Shupert firebox has been devised to obtain certain aen nite objects in the improvement of locomotive boilers and wniie me boiler, with the Jacobs-Shupert fire box applied, has been in service a comparatively short time, tne indica tions are most favorable. This fire- .r.v rr i.T-otrnrn I 4 vpars of careful in vestigation and study on the part of men in position to oDserve locomotive boiler operation and maintenance very closely, one of these men beinj a practical DonermaKer iortman. Dnrins: the Drocess of development. many capable mechanical men have passed judgment on the principles in volved and in a number of instances their ideas have been embodied in tne rlesljrn. Among the several advantages of the sectional form of construction, the principal are: An unusual ele ment of safety: provision for ex ransinn and contraction. due to variations in temperature; improved i-prtii-al circulation of water; ac- celpratton of scrubbing action of -water against the hot metal surface; increased heat transmission: greater evaporation per unit of heating sur face an! increased area of heating surface. In the sectional firebox a possible rupture is confined to a single sec tion and the destructive effects of an explosion would bo confined to the pimple escape of the contents of the boiler. It is the sudden tearing away of a large area in cases of failure in the ordinary crown sheet that causes violent explosions and consequent disastrous results. In the sectional firebox, the tearing away of a large area is impossible, as the rupture cannot extend from one section to the next. The arched sectional form of con struction provides for expansion and contraction due to variations in temperature. Each section is free to expand or contract without produc ing excessive local stresses or trans mitting undue stress to adjacent sec tions. The entire structure is flexible and while expansion and contrac tion occur, the form and construc tion of each section allows it to ex pand without straining the next sec tion, thus relieving any stresses in duced bv temperature variations. The holes for horizontal circula tion through the radial stay sheets are of ample area to replace the water evaporated. The enlarged space within the individual sections encourages rapid vertical circulation and the more rapid this circulation the greater the scouring action of the water against the hot metal. The corrugated surface of the fire box is effective in causing a turbulent motion among the hot gases, and this rotating, whirling motion brings successive portions of the gases in contact with the metal. Such a whirling scouring action of the gases produces highest efficiency in trans mitting heat from the gases In them selves as well as in breaking through the film of inert gases which tend to collect In thin layers along the sur face of the metal. It has long been recognized by authorities in heat transmission that by producing a turbulent, scrubbing action of the hot gases against the fire side of the metal and by accelerat ing the scrubbing action of the water against the hot surface, the evapora tive value of the heating surface is largely increased. MAKE FREIGHT REDUCTIONS. Nebraska State Board Issues Orders Cutting Tariffs. Omaha. July 9. At Lincoln the Ne braska railway commission issued an order in the classification of freight rates on railroads within this state. The rates will be submitted to the vari ous railroads and at the hearings, dates for which have been sent, the roads will be required to show cause why the rates should not go into effect. The rates proposed by the commis sion are reductions from the present rates fixed by the railroad companies from distributing points. The reduc tions are as follows: First class. 30: second. 25 to 30: tlilrd. 25: all other rates. 20 to 25 per cent reduction MAY DELAY NEW DEPOT. Renter Won't Give TTjt Iease on Santa Fe Wichita Property. Wichita, Kan.. July 9. After paying more than J125.00O for property on Tre mont street on which to build tracks and a fine new freight depot, it is pos sible that the Santa Fe Railway com pany may be balked in its plans. It all depends on the terms which it may be possible to make with one concern which occupies a pan of the ground purchased. This concern is the Callahan Trans fer company which has a lease on the building it now "occupies, for a period of two years, and no plan has as yet been suggested that has resulted in getting the company to get out of the way for the construction of the big depot.

Tariff Tinkerina Xow Going on at Washington. See J. THOMAS LDMBEB CO. for lumber and DEWET PORTLAND CE MENT. Warranted none better. TV. the -Rriitor of the State Journal: If the tariff tinkering now going on at Washington doesn't make a man swearing mad he is certainly a Chris tian. rtomniraii nutrht to have some bacK bone and declare for absolute free trade. "Let every tub set on its own bottom." "Infant industries" have ceased: the croup and cholera infan tum prevailed years ago. but we have been having genuine stomach trouble for 50 years. The American farmer ought to be "stood up" in a corner with a dunce cap on his head for selling his prod ucts in the open free market of the world and buying all his goods in a protected one; paying more for his machinery made here than the foreign er pays for it across the big pond. Infant industries are now all full grown trusts running the government by having the men in the senate and house who fix It up no matter what party they belong to. It ought to open their eyes. If it doesn't a guardian ought to be ap pointed to run their affairs; make 'em quit talking party business and get down to a little common horse sense and business. The idea of tariff a tax. on sugar. lumber, and like necessities is so ridiculously funny that Aldrich and Joe Bailey ought to take it off and put $10 a head on fools and the treasury would be overflowing. I Just simply refuse to be interviewed further on the subject. Furiously yours, G. W. COFFIX. Council Grove, Kan., July 7, 1909. Where They Play Tomorrow. KANSAS STATE LEAGUE. Great Bend at McPherson. Hutchinson at Strong City. Arkansas City at Lyons. Newton at Wellington. CENTRAL KANSAS LEAGUE. Junction Citv at Beloit. Clay Center at Ellsworth. Manhattan at Salina. Abilene at Minneapolis. La Rock, the Indian pitcher who has been expected to Join the Manhattan Mugwumps ever since the season start ed, has finally put in an appearance. He ascribed his delay to getting mar ried. Hamlin, one of Hoffman's umpires, made some bad decisions at Manhattan recently for which he was dubbed "fat and saucy" by one of the Manhattan sport writers. Boss Qu:gley, of the Salina team, has slumped nearly 100 points in his batting average in one week. He drop ped from .407 to .309. Junction City has a pitcher Lien who hasn't worked a game since the season started, and yet the papers of that vil lage refer to him as one of the best in the league. He is on the sick list. Junction City Union: Knocking, carping fault finding fans have cost Junction City one of her best baseball players. Dugan jumped the team to day, going to his home in Kansas City. He has not been released, but it is not probable that he will be induced to again don a Junction City uniform. Dugan has worked hard to win every day. He is a conscientious ball player. Little of the knocking which has been going on has been directed against him but he has felt it Just the same and says that he does not want to play here anymore. Here is a little dope about Billy Smith who is playing shortstop for the McPherson team, taken from the Lin coln (Neb.) Evening News: Billy Smith, the Lincoln midget, who played with Guy Green's Indians last season while under contract to the Lincoln club, is covering the short field this summer for the McPherson club in the Kansas State league. He is credited with playing wonderful ball for Mc Pherson, which club leads the league, tut the other day he slipped up on five chances, more than he makes or dinarily in a month. Billy has ap pealed to the national association for his release from Lincoln, claiming that the failure of the local management to use him in organized ball last sum mer, while he was under contract, en titles him to his walking papers. The case is now pending before the direc tors of the national association. Smith is an lnfielder of exceptional brilliance, but his inability to connect with good pitching threatens to keep him out of fast company. Junction City Sentinel: The ax brought the team within the salary limit yesterday evening. Edwards, Dail and Miller were all released and Mar tin also went into the discard. The release of the three first named has .been expected by most people who keep track of baseball. Martin's re lease may be a disappointment to many people, but it will be otherwise with everyone who follows the game closely. Martin is a keen fielder, so far as pick ing up ground hits and hurling the ball to first base is concerned. But he does not know the game and shortcomings above his shoulder line are apt to keen him from learning it- As a hitter, he is an absolute failure and on the bases he can pull off all the 57 varieties of boneheaded stunts. You have to give it to him though for spectacular pick Ing up of ground balls and slamming them to nrst. But when that is said. you have to quit saying nice things of Martin or quit speaking the truth. II VINS DELAY HARVESTING. Much of the Wheat Is Dead Ripe and Should Be Cut. Salina, Kan., July 9. The heavy rains which fell this week have stop ped harvesting for the time. The rain at times was heavy and again it fell slowly and steadily, making the ground very soft. As a result no machine can get into the fields. Much of the wheat is dead ripe and it must be cut at once. It is said that continued rains like those of a few weeks ago will cause a great loss. Harvest hands are in town waiting for sunshine to dry the fields and allow the work to proceed, but the close atmosphere and the falling barometer give little encouragement for anything like settled dry weather. Grain men stated that this rain would undoubtedly keep new wheat off the local markets this week at least. They had expected the wheat to commence coming in by Saturday, but now feel certain that none can come In before next week at the earliest. And continued wet weather might delay another week.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOHRITAL FRIDAY EVENING JULY 9, 1909. BACK TOHOUSE Tariff Bill as Amended by the Senate Is Returned. Has Grown Considerably During Its Absence. GOES TO CONFERENCE. ?alderhead of Kansas Is One of the Conferees. Mr. Mann Starts Insurrection Against Paper Schedule. declined to until official it necessary shingrton, July 9. When the house met today its members were in possession of copies of the tariff bill as it had been amended and passed Iy the. senate. Speaker Cannon was presented with a copy of the bill by Secretary Bennett before the house met. As presented the bill was a much more voluminous document than when it left the house. It contained 404 pages of print in addition to almost 60 pares of index. There were 847 amendments and they were all ac curately numbered, so that in every way the measure was found to be in proper shape for consideration by the conferees. The members of the house displayed an eagerness to get to work, in the hope of making an early dis position of the bill or out of mere curiosity, as one member suggested, to see just what the senate had done to it." Each member was soon supplied with a copy. The scene in the senate chamber was quite the opposite, of that in the house. There were, no mfrauei m the senate chamber much before 12 o'clock and even after th senate fnrrvMifid the attendance was com paratively slender. The galleries were deserted for the most promis ing house field. It was understood in the house that a ml. would be brought in very cnnn ftpr the nresentation of the rr.pj.si.ru there for the reference of tha hill to conference and the ap nnintment of conferees. but fearing that some other disposition might be attempted the speaker announce the conferees conditions should make for him to do so. The house at 3:18 p. m., agreed to the conference on ther tariff bill asked by the senate. 178 to 151. Speaker Cannon appointed the fol lowing members of the house com mittee on ways ar.d means to be the house conferees: Payne, New York; Dalze-ll. Penn sylvania; McCall, Massachusetts; Boutelle. Illinois: Calderhead. Kan sas: Fordney, Michigan: Clark, Mis souri; Underwood. Alabama: and Griggs. Georgia. During the discussion of the meas ure Representative Mann, of Illinois, declared he would vote against the bill on the conference report if the senate provision on wood pulp and print paper was retained. He was 1 a.J hAfh cilAC Representative Townsend of Mich igan, declared that in the senate de bate on the tariff bill, the house had been openly insulted. Rules Committee Sleets. There were rumors that there might be an effort to instruct the conferees and also that there would be a motion to accept the decreases of the senate. There was an especial movement to wards the acceptance of the hosiery and glove schedules. The house committee on rules met after the house took a recess and de cided to bring in an order for the re ference of the bill to a committee on conference as requested by the senate, the house meantime disagreeing to the senate amendments. The. committee also decided that there should be a de bate of an hour and a half on this or der. Following Is the text of the resolu tion decided upon by the committee: "That the house take from the speak er's table and nonconcur in gross in the senate amendments to the house tariff bill and agree to the conference as asked for by the senate on the dis agreeing votes of the two houses, and that a committee of conference be ap pointed forthwith, and said committee shall have authority to join with the senate committee in renumbering the paragraphs and sections of said bill when finally agreed upon." i The hour and a half debate. It was decided, should be equally divided be tween the two parties. When the recess, had expired Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, of the com mittee on rules, was at once recognized to offer the rule providing for noncon currence in all the amendments and agreeing to the conference requested by the senate. He supplemented the rule with a motion for one hour and a half for debate. This suggestion was not entirely ac ceptable to Mr. Townsend of Michigan, who wanted the time extended to three hours, but Mr. Dalzell's motion was adopted. After Mr. Dalzell declared his be lief that he voiced the sentiment of every member of the house on both sides and of the entire citizenship of the country when he said what was needed now, was a speedy disposition of the measure, Mr. Underwood. Ala., contended he did not believe that the country desires that the house dis pose of the bill without careful and fair consideration, one by one of the various items in it. Townsend Starts a Revolt. The bill as it came from the sen ate, was condemned by Mr. Town send, Michigan. As it left the house, he said, it complied for the most part with the Republican pledges, but now he declared, "you would hardly recognize it if you met it in the road." He did not believe it was ever intended that the senate should introduce brand new propositions, which the house had never discussed. Mr. Townsend created a stir when he declared that In the course of the debates in the senate, the house and the ways and means committee had been insulted. He insisted that the bill ought to be controlled by the house, subject to such recommenda tions as the senate rightfully could make, and not by a conference com mittee. The bill in the opinion of Mr. Fitz gerald, was about as bad a piece of legislation as it would be possible to make in any legislative body. He hoped there would be aroused through the country a resentment such as would make it impossible to put some of the senate amendments into effect. The first open evidence of an In tended revolt on the Republican side was made manifest when Mr. Mann (111.) protested vehemently against the amendments fixing the duties on wood pulp and print paper. There were but two states, which would ben efit by such a protection, declared Mr. Mar.n. Mmm Gives Notice. 'I give notice now," he exclaimed, amid Democratic and some Republi can applause, "that if these two states write the provision in the conference report on print paper and on wood pulp in the interests of their states and against the interests of the con sumers of paper and the manufactur ers of paper in the rest of nation, so far as I am concerned. I shall swal low my desire to stand with the or ganization of the house; my desire to prove that the Republicans are able to write a tariff bill and vote against th conference report." The ice having thus been broken, Messrs. Davidson, Wis., and Douglas. Ohio, two other Republicans, were, if anything even more outspoken in their opposition than Mr. Mann. Messrs. Randall Texas, Pou, North Carolina, and Henry, Texas, character ized the measure as breaking the Re publican pledges to the American peo ple. Their remarks aroused Mr. Smith, Iowa, who declared the American peo ple did not direct a Democratic re vision of the tariff.- Without- speelfleafiy "mentioning the senate, Mr. Smith. facir.g the" Demo cratic side, said that many Democrats, "elsewhere" than in the house, had .been largely instrumental in ""placing the increases in the bill. This asser tion elicited loud Republican applause. Answering the criticisms regarding the proposed method of sending the bill to conference, Mr. Smith said that If the members of the house were as talk ative as thore of the senate, it meant that 13 months would be consumed in the consideration of the bill by the house. the charge of manslaughter and re leased on bond. Major Long had an aversion to au tomobiles and two days ago declared: "If I had my way I would smash and burn every automobile in the District of Columbia.

Man Who Wanted to Smash Ttu Struck and Killed. ul IS Washington, July 8. Major J. W. Long, U. S. A., retired, was run down here today by an automobile, carried to the Russian embassy, and died three hours later. The automobile was dri ven by J. W. Lawrence, who was learn ing to operate the machine. Andrew T. Bradley, a Washington lawyer, and Galen Green, who were instructing Lawrence, were the other occupants. Green and Lawrence were arrested on Tired of a life in poverty and wearied with failing health, C. H. Lafferty, over seventy yearB of age, made an attempt to end his life this afternoon, in a dingy little two room hut, where he livd, in the rear of a large brick residence at 325 Jackson street. The attempt at suicide was made wit ha revolver. The aged man took but one shot, the bullet striking to the left of his heart, penetrating the body and coming out through his back just to the rear of the left groin. The wound is probably not fatal, as it failed to reach any of the vital or gans, but owing to his advanced age and helpless condition, it may prove fatal. The old man is a paralytic and has been practically helpless for two or three years. He has spent his last two years in a dingy little frame building, in the midst of poverty and squalor or the most pronounced type, Three weeks ago while walking through the alley in the rear of his room, he fell violently to the ground and from that time he has been prac tically helpless, the body from the waist line down being helpless, and he has not walked a step, since that time. He was picked up after this fall and taken to tho Provident asso ciation, but he rebelled and would be taken back to his little hut. He has been cared for in this place by the people in the neighborhood, several of the women taking a kindly and compassionate interest in the old man and calling around occasionally to administer to his wants. This afternoon one of the women in the neighborhood called in to see him, and he asked her to hand him a cigar box which contained some of his ef fects. After doing this the lady left, but she had gone but a few steps when she heard the report of the shot. The little revolver was In the cigar box, and the box fas lying open on the table, while the revolver was found on the floor. Blood Vas found rushing from the wounds and his breast was powder burned, showing that the revolver had been held close to his body. The alarm was spread and neigh bors notified Dr. H. H. Keith, county coroner, and Chief- of Police R. W. Eaton. Dr. Keith ordered an ambu lance and the old man was taken to Keith's hospital. A son, Ed Laffert", who works in the Wolff packing house. was notified and hastened to the bed side of his father. Lafferty never lost consciousness and to all his friends who nursed him after he had fired the shot, he bade goodbye, and said he hoped the end would come. He talke freely and ad mitted that he had tried to end his life, hoping that he would fare better In the next world than he had in this Lafferty has lived In Topeka for years. Twenty-three years ago hi3 wife, then a middle aged woman, se cured a divorce and the two have lived In Topeka ever since. Mrs. Laf ferty now lives in North Topeka.

To Automobile Drivers: The automobile board of examiners has issued 300 certificates to drivers. We have heard many expressions in regard to automobile legislation and believe the opinion is almost unani mous by the owners and drivers that the ordinance is liberal In its provis ions. There has been some reckless and careless driving by a very few and there are some who-insist on violating the speed limit. Such actions bring it-proach upon all and the innocent fcave to suffer condemnation as well as the guilty. Therefore, it is the duty of every owner and driver to help suppress these evils. If you will re port violations of the ordinance to the board we will look after the parties and will protect your name from pub licity.

A This Store Closes NORTH SIDE NEWS Farms Protected by Dikes Not Flooded. Dikes North of Menoken Make Good. OTHER LAND FLOODED IThen Soldier Creek Overflowed Near Menoken. Waters Hare Receded Other Items of Interest. The dikes which were built by the farmers north or Menoken were given a test yesterday morning when Soldier creek broke over its banks. The farms of T. Gordon. Harper Landis and Lane and others which vere thus protected were not flooded. The embankments held the water back. These earthworks ivere built by private parties. The dikes begin north of the Menoken bridge and ex tend northward as far as the end of the Landis farm. The embankments are from four to six feet high and from three to five feet across the top. However,, portions of the Mead place, the Pennick farm the Good win place and Mullen farm which were not protected were under water for several hours, yesterday. This is according to reports' from farmers of the neighborhood. This morning, however, the water Is said to have receded entirely from the fields. "Mother, I believe there are bur glars in the house," said a North side daughter to her mother about a. m. today. The man of the house was away and the two women were left alone. The girl had been awak ened by a noise and had left her own room. Hhe went to her mother's room and made the above statement "Just listen to that noise," she con tinued. A faint sound of something coming into contact with metal came from the rear of the house. By this time the mother was wide awake and lay straining her ears for a repetition of the sound. It came again. The two thought of the little safe which stood in the kitchen. It was very small, but it contained some money and valuable papers. "Some one is trying to open the safe." whispered the older woman in a sharp breath, and the girl agreed. At last she softly reached in the dresser drawer and seized a revolver. She started to leave the room. Her mother left the bed and followed close behind. Not a word was spoken. Quietly the two women stole to the kitchen and opened the door. However, as they looked toward the corner where the safe stood the dim starlight showed no figure of the ex pected man. The daughter raised the revolver in one hand, and with the other reached out and turned on the electric light which hung near by. The kitchen was empty. Likewise, the women a3 they tramped through the house, found all of the other rooms. Finally thoroughly tired and mysti fied, the women returned to bed and their slumbers were undisturbed. This morning while the women were out in the backyard they found that papers were strewn near the garbage can which was at the rear of the kitchen. As they looked at it a huge rat Jumped on the lid of the can and from there to the window sill near where the can rested. Then the creature leaped to the ground and disappeared. And the noise the rat made as it hopped from the can cover was identical with the noise the women heard last night. Notes and Personals.

Cashier Macferran of the State Sav ings Bank Becomes President. A. A. Godard, who for the past eleven years has been president of the State Savings bank, resigned this position at a meeting of the directors of the in stitution which was held late yester day afternoon, and William Macferran, who has been cashier of the bank since its organization, was elected to fill his place. Mr. Godard s resignation came as a surprise to most of the directors. He explained to them that the bank had arrived at such an important position that it would be necessary for the head of the institution to devote all his time to the business. Mr. Godard being an attorney with a large practice was un able to devote sufficient time to the growing needs of the institution. Mr. Godard is still connected with the bank however, as a director and large stock holder. Mr. Macferran who succeeds to the presidency organized the bank in Aug ust, 1S9S. and at the time the bank was capitalized at $23,000. July 1 of this year the stock was quadrupled and is now $100,000. It has teen one of the most successful institutions ever launched in Topeka, and is now one of the leading banks of the city. In talking of the growth of this banking house this morning one of the directors .said: "This has been a good institution for Topeka. In the last ten years we have Tald out to local de positors over $200,000 In interest and to the local stockholders over $100,000 dividends. We now have 6.800 ac counts, 99 per cent of which are ac counts of individuals. The bank ex aminer has checked the bank for ad mission to the state bank guarantee fund and the certificate of guarantee will be issued within a few days. The bank has also been a good thing for our school children, who de posit their pennies through the school teachers who in turn redeposit them the bank and transfer the same to the children in dollar accounts. "The bank's business is largely sav- r.gs, though it receives checking ac counts as .well, thus handling the ac counts f those wishing to pay bills' and other accounts. This feature has been instituted during the past six months. "Its stockholders are all local men and women, with the exception of a few who were Topeka people, but who have moved to other cities and still re tain their stock and interests in the bank as well as their property inter ests in the city. Most of the stock of the bank which was recently quadrupled was taken by tne stockholders, already owning blocks oi tne stock. A few new stockholders however, were admitted among those oeing: jonn Huntington, A. H, Purdy, H. L P. Hillyer. Mrs. J. L. Shellabarger, J. D. Walker, Miss Mary E. Walker, Mrs. R. N. Downie. Eliza beth K. Huntington. Frank A. Moss, Mrs. C. S. Elliott. Miss Lulu Elliott, John B. Prescott and F. T. Dolan. Among the directors who have made the banking house a success and who were at the yesterday afternoon's meet ing were: A. A. Godard. A. B. Whiting, F. M. Stahl, J. P. Griswold, Willard N. Hall, M. A. Low, Dr. S. G. Stewart Df. C. F; Mehninger, E. C. Arnold, L. Copeland. W. Macferran. The other two members of the board were absent on vacations, N. P. Garretson, spending the summer in Europe and T. F. Garver at Atlantic City. Mr. Macferran, the new president of the bank, when seen by a State Journal reporter this morning he said: "The out look for the State Savings bank is good. We have attained great success since our organization in 1898. It is as sound today as government bonds and we propose to keep so. "We feel deeply grateful to that very large percentage of our patrons who have never doubted the truth of this statement, and the guaranty cer tificate from the state that we will re ceive tomorrow will satisfy all. "The financial outlook, the country over is much brighter than It was a few months ago, and especially in the west. In the east the bank deposits are falling off while in the west they are showing an increase. In Topeka the showing is especially good. At the last call the banks of Topeka showed deposits of $9,000,000, while on the last previous call they aggregated only $8,200,000. which showed an in crease of $800,000. During the same time a selected number of 10 large eastern banks showed a falling Off from $340,000,000 to $318,000, 000. This shows that while these banks were showing a decrease of per cent in the deposits, the Topeka banks were showing an increase of 10 per cent, or nearly 17 per cent differ ence, In favor or tne looeka banks.

Fourth 1123 Kansas Ave. IIJDIANSCA'JDAL Superintendent Friedman of Carlisle Under Fire. Charged With Cruelty by Band master Wheelock. ON BREAD AND WATER Students Kept in Confinement and Then Discharged. Department of Interior Asked to Investigate. Carlisle, Pa., July 9. Moses Fried man, superintendent of the famous Carlisle Indian school, made a per emptory ieii!a today upon the dt partment of the interior at Washing ton to investigate the sensational charges formulat 3d SBUint the insti tution o- which .ie is the head by James Riley Wheelock, an alumnus, who is conducting a cornet band large ly made up of Carlisle graduates. After a long telephonic conference with Secretary Valentine of the bu reau of Indian affairs, to whom the matter was referred, Mr. Friedman announced that the investigation WJU'd fce promptly mih. Wheelock's charges have stirred up this village and are certain to result in a rigid investigation of the schoil. While Washington did not manifest an interest in the matter until today, it is now evident that an effort will be made to get at the bottom -t the whole affair and prove or disprove the rumors current since Mr. Friedman assumed control of the school in April, 1808. Stories without number aro told and denied and it is well nigh impos sible to get at the exact facts. Spencer Williams, the young Seneca Indian, and Carl Sylvester, the Gros Ventre, who were banished from thj school recently in disgrace because they joined Wheelock's band, were found by a reporter. After being fed on bread and water from June 31 to July 2, they were taken to the railroad station and shipped to Harrisburg. Williams, who was placed aboard the train at noon, went from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, where he found friends. Sylvester says that when he was told to leave town on the midnight train he was supplied with a ticket to Harrisburg. He arrived there with just enough cash to reach Philadel phia, where, weak and emaciated 'from imprisonment and lack of nourishment, he found acquaintances who provided him with food. Indians Ready to Testify. Both Indians are here to substan tiate the statements made by Whee lock. They are indignant at their al leged treatment. Men who saw Sylvester take tha train from the Carlisle depot declare he was so weak he could hardly stand. Mr. Friedman admits that he might not have thrived on bread and water, but asserts he was n good physical condition. The trouble precipitated by Whee lock had been brewing for months. Responsible citizens, -say that while Supt. Friedman is making an honest effort to upbuild the school and is managing the finances in a masterly way, he does not understand the In dian, and- the students are on the point o rebellion most of the time. They declare that he hedges in the young men end women with unnec essary tules: that his discipline is too strict, and that he fails to put them upon their honor, as did his prede cessor. Major William A. Mercer, a cavalry orTicer. now stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. Mr. Friedman, on the other hand, believes he has been misunderstood and that stringent rules and regula tions are necessary. He points out that the morale of the institution has been raised tndi.T his supervision and that the Indian was inspired to make the attack. He names as the co-con-siiirator a man whe some years ago was superintendent. That man, he says, was removed by Roosevelt and has since been anxious to return. He says he will not be made a 'goaf and that he will fight to the last ditch. The investigation he has demanded. he feels sure, will clear him of all blame. Wanted to Keep Tliem at School. Wheelock charges that Supt, Fried man refused to permit Williams, Syl vester and others to join his band be cause he wished to keep his own mu sical organization intact during the summer. It is true tnat Mr. Fried man refused his musicians permission to leave the reservation during the summer in compliance with the rules of the so-celled "outing system." He told them he would give them August, September and October, but they did not trust him. He wanted the band. he said, to play cuch evening at "Flag ceremony" that the students "might be taught patriotism." This ruling. of course, prevented the musicians from earning money elsewhere and they quickly manifested their dissatis faction. In the controversy these facts stand out: On June 22 the band struck and refuted to play a note. The members to a man were placed in the old guard house and kept there over night. The following morning a com mittee went to the superintendent and capitulated. Joe Northrup, a Chippewa, attempt ed in March to organize the students into a Eelf-governing body and ended by failing and shooting holes through a water bucket in one of the halls. He was expelled and sent to Harrisburg. A fev days later he returned and it was necessary to put him in irons and ship him to his home in Minnesota in charge of a white attendant. An in vestigation of his record shows that he was convicted of murder, pardoned and sent here. "The superintendent s rules are so strict the students give themselves free ein when they reach town," it was said at police headquarters. "We have been forced to make a good many ar rests and have been repeatedly notified to keep an eye out for deserters. It seemed to us that it did not raise the morals of the school to put the young fellows In calls and keep them there over night Just because they were off the reservation, and so we quit." In a statement to the World Mr. Friedman made a strong defens. He answered freely all questions put to him and seemed grieved, rather than disturbed, because trouble has come to him after his strenuous and faithful ef fort to advance the school. He is a light man, keen, quick and of a ner ous temperament, and seems to be a fighter. I banished V imams and Sylvester because they not only attempted to de sert, but they defied us," he said. "It the law that once a student signs he is under, our control until lie leaves. whether it be study or vacation time. I am glad to have both girls and boys earn money in the summer, but I per mit them to take only such positions as seem proper. We guard them in every way because they need guarding, and see to it that they receive the money due them. "I do not consider Wheelock a fit person to employ the students, although he is an alumnus, and I will not allow any of my boys to join Irs band. I am here to run this institution, and I will not permit Wheelock to usurp that duty." Mr. Friedman went on to say that he found it necessary to draw the strings after the great freedom permitted stu dents by Major Mercer. He asked that arrests be made and personally prose cuted saloonkeepers who sold intoxi cants to the boys. That was the rea son, he said, why the police had so much trouble. Under the old regime the boys were sent home when found drunk, and no one was the wiser. Short nations Charge Disproved. One of the principal complaints of the students who talked with a World representative had to do with alleged short rations and poorly cooked food. They said they were so ashamed of their fare they blushed to tell about it. A careful investigation, however, shows that they lived exceptionally well. The food provided by August Kenster, an old army quartermaster, is good and wholesome and well served The fact is that many of the students belong to the athletic association, which during the school year provides Its members with fancy rations. At the beginning of vacation, when these men are forced to sit at common mess, they find the difference far from their liking. There are 220 students out of over 1, 000 now at the school. They are given meat, bread, butter, milk, vegetables, coffee and eggs, and on the table scraps eighty hogs and twenty pigs are fatten ing in the school pens. The students will eat the center of a loaf of bread and throw the rest away, but constant ly complain that they do not get enough to eat. They are strong and ro bust and capable of the hardest work, both manual and mental. This summer 378 boys and 201 girls are earning money away from the school, all of which will be banked to their credit. From July 1, 1908, to July 1, 1909, those on vacation earned $22. 372.06. Of this $15,214.53 was banked by boys and $7,157.53 by girls. On July 3 last there was credited to their account in the school bank $39,067.86. This is drawn upon for luxuries and for citi zens' clothing, which the institution does not furnish. The girls spend their money liberally for prettv dresses and lingerie and the boys for stylish suits and entertain ment.

The men and boys of the United States will pay 120 million dollars more for their clothing in 1910 than they have paid this year as a result of the new tariff bill. This is the statement or the National Association of Clothiers produced in the senate by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin. The association includes 97 per cent of the leading clothing manu facturers of the United States, among them such firms as Stein-Block, Rog ers, Peet Co., and B. Kuppenheimer Co. Their business Is said to amount to 600 millions annually. The new tariff bill will merely re enact the Dingley law so far as the woolen schedule is concerned, but it contains stringent provisions on valua tion that are expected to boost rates and so become responsible for higher prices. The effect of the Dingley tariff on wool, the statement says, has been to reduce the qualities and diminish the weight of the goods used, thereby making clothing less durable. This state of affairs has resulted from the cumbersome provisions of the Dingley bill by which different grades of wool receive the most un equal protection, and by which compensatory duties that are highly excessive are allowed on woolen cloths. A certain duty, for instance, is levied on a pound of raw wool. The manufacturer allowed this duty plus an extra duty for his own pro tection. The compensatory duty is based on the assumption that it takes four pounds of raw wool to make a pound of cloth, while In fact not more than two pounds are needed in the finer grades of cloth. As a result of this system of compound rates t. duties run all the way from 100 to 200 per cent. Moreover, wool has become so expensive that under the Dingley law, the manufacturers say, there has been a deteriorating of fully 33 1-3 per cent in weight. It is pointed out further that combinations of manufacturers have been built under the shelter of the tariff. That the advances in the United States are not due entirely to the increase in the price of the raw material is shown by the fact that in England the advance has been much less. The clothing men continue: "These advanced prices on worsteds which have been announced, following the steady deterioration of fabrics in weight and quality, resulting from the operations of the Dingley bill, will add to the retail price approximately $2.50 on a $10 suit of clothes, $3 on a $15 suit and $5 on a $20 suit, or from 20 per cent to 25 per cent to the cost of the cloth ing to the wearer thereof. The aggre gate burden of the increased cost of men's and boys' clothing to the Ameri can people under the present advance alone will be 120 million dollars for the year 1910, which is twice the value of the annual domestic wool clip." These increased prices are attributed to the change in the basis of valuation by which rates will be raised material ly. The clothiers end by asking for a reduction of the duty on raw wool to 45 per cent and 65 per cent on woolen clothes. No such relief will be granted, however, for the senate already has voted down amendments proposed by Senator LaFolIette to effect the desired result. SPOILED HER BEAUTY Mary Ryan Identifies Anotlier Woman as Her Assailant. Lexington, Ky., July 9. Mrs. Kate Phipps was arrested today charged with disfiguring Mary Ryan, the young Irish girl, who was mysteriously at tacked in a stable at noon last Tues day. Mrs. PTiipps is a neighbor of the girl and during the latter's delirium has been a constant caller to inquire about the girl's condition. Today Miss Ryan was conscious when Mrs. Phipps called. On sight of her the girl screamed and it was necessary to hold her in bed. Miss Ryan says Mrs. Phipps- told her as she attacked her: "If I can't have rosy cheeks, you can't. Everybody likes you. Nobody likes me." and then she threw carbolic acid in her face and cut her with a knife on the face and hands. i "Watch Us Grow" (SALE) Is what 3-0U would expect to see if almost any other clothing firm than Robinson, Marshall Co., were enlarging to almost double its size You'll all admit that this would be a golden op portunity to "break out" with "A Stupendous Rebuilding: Sale" And take a few hundred $15 Suits mark them up to $20 and $25 and reduce them to $14.33 special but nothing of that kind is to happen.

The tarift bill passed the senate just after 11 o'clock last night by a vote of 45 to 84. Republicans voting in the nega tive were: Beveridge, Indiana; Br istow, Kan eas; Brown, Nebraska; Burkett, Ne braska; Clapp, Minnesota; Crawford, South Dakota; Cummins, Iowa; Dolli ver, Iowa; La Follette, Wisconsin; Iselson, Minnesota.

C.) Stone, Talliaferro, Taylor 34. Two or three days ago it was ex pected that only six Republicans iwould vote against the bill. But pro tests have been coming in from home, and several senators who had been voting occasionally with the commit tee decided to register their protest. Curtis of Kansas was paired for the JL,ill. Warner of Missouri voted "Aye." The failure of the senate to keep the promise made to the people by the Republican party respecting a re vision of the tariff downward was the theme of Senator Beveridge as the de bate on the pending bill was drawing to a close. "Our votes," he said, "shall be cast in harmony with our party's pledge as voiced by our party's leader and the nation s president." Suggesting that the "insurgents' would cast their votes on the final rassage of the bill in conformity with their previous action, Mr. Beveridge eaid they would do so as a notice to the conferees to bring back a bill in which there should be decreases of duties. Mr. Beveridge was answered by Mr. Aldrich, who said he had often seen men interpret their own judg ment as tne judgment of their party. The Republican party is a party of majorities," he added, "and the views of the majority in matters of legislation control party policies. "The senator from Indiana does not speak for the Republican party. He has no right to call here the name of the president of the United States in support of any suggestion which he has made." Mr. Aldrich declared the pending bill was a ful Ailment of the party's pledges. "If senators wish to vote against the bill," he said, "they should not at tempt to speak for their party." "I have listened with deep Interest to the tearful and rrophetic funeral oration," said Mr. Stone from the Democratic side of the chamber. He declared it reminded him of the old hymn. "Hark From the Tomb a Dole ful Sound." Upon motion of Mr. Aldrich the vice president announced the senate conferees as follows: Senators Aldrich. Burrows. Pen rose, Hale, Cullom, Republicans; Daniel, Money, and Bailey, Demo crats. Following the naming of the conferees the senate at 11:10 p. m adjourned. The senate sat continuously from 10 o'clock in the morning stopping neither for luncheon nor dinner, Most of the many speeches during the day and evening were brief and In the main the day was devoted to action upon amendments. The most interesting occurrences were the adoption of amendments by Senator Bradley or Kentucky and Senator Curtis of Kansas, the former exempting tobacco "In the hand from the internal revenue tax of six cents a pound, and the latter placing a countervailing duty on crude petroleum shipped from countries which Impose duty on oil importa tions from the United States. The action, on tobacco was a real sur prise. The senate has frequently re fused to remove the tax. There will be no delay in sending the tariff bill to conference after it reaches the house. It is expected the bill will be sent to that body by the ffenate today and in order that no time may be lost Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania of the rules com mittee obtained the adaption of an order by which the house will meet daily from now until the end of the session. As soon as the bill is received Mr. Dalzell Is expected to offer a resolu tion by which the house will disagree to the senate amendments in block and agree to a conference. Representative Payne. New Tork. probably will move the previous question on the resolution thereby shutting off discussion. When Mr. Dalell'a resolution is adopted the speaker will announce the list of con ferees. It is likely that the first thing agreed to in conference will be re ductions on necessaries of life and raw material made in the house bill by the senate. The increases made by the senate on certain luxuries will probably offer a temporary barrier to an. early agreement in conference be cause of the contention that these Increased rates will prove prohibitive, and will materially reduce the revenue. The Conferees. Immediately after the passage of the bill Senator Aldrich moved that a conference be called for and the 1-Jce president announced the con ferees. On account of Cullom's extreme nee. It was proposed to substitute Pmoot for him. But Lodge, who ranks Smoot, protested, so the conferees were taken in order of seniority. All the Republicans are extreme stand-! natters. McCumber, the only man of revisionist tendencies on. the commit tee, is not on the list. Any concessions to "revision down ward will come from such conferees only by compulsion as the house is ex pected to appoint its conferees. The following Republicans Payne, Dalzell, McCall, Calderhead and Fordney or Boutelle. The vote was preceded by a warn ing from LaFolIette and Beveridge against the violation of the campaign pleases of the party involved in re vision upward. The galleries were crowded and people leaned forward in eager attention under the unpleas ant yellow light that filtered through the ,-Iass roof or the chamber. There was a st'r as Aldrich arose to reply. He insisted that the party had fulfilled every pledge to the letter and that no senator who proposed to vote against thep arty could speak for It. The Republican party, he ex claimed, "is a party of majorities. His denunciatory words, however, did not deter the pro-ressives from regis tering their protest. Fulfills Pledges. Mr. Aldrich declared that the pend ing bill was a fulfillment of the party's pledges. If senators wished to vote against the bill, he said, they should not attempt to speak tor tneir party. I have listened with deep Interest to the tearful and prophetic funeral ora tion." said Mr. Stone from the Demo cratic side of the chamber. He de- clared it reminded him of the old hymn. "Hark. From the Tomb a Dole ful Sound." Mr. Crawford delivered a vigorous protest aeainst any attempt on the part of Chairman Aldrich to prevent JttepuD- lican senators from the exercise of their judgment. Am I not a good, loyal member or my party?" asked Mr. Crawford. He proposed to exercise his judgment and to follow his convictions in voting upon the bill. Senator Clapp also joined in the pro test against any effort on the part of the senator from Rhode Island to con trol his actions. I am neither stung, silenced nor en tombed by the words of the senator from Rhode Island, said he. it will take more than the senator from Rhode Island to read the state of Minnesota out of the Republican party," said Mr. Nelson, amid applause. which called down the gavel of th ice president with an announcement that such expressions were not per mitted. He said he did not care to be lectured by the senator from Rhode is land. As it comes from the senate, the bill s revision upwards. When the meas rue was reported to the upper house it increased rates on 15 per cent of the value of imports for 1907. It decreased them on 96 per cent and on loyx it leu them unchanged. Changes Chiefly Increases. With the aid of experts from the nreau of statistics. Senator LaFolIette showed on the floor that change made in the course of the senate debate have been chiefly increase. The finished bill increases duties on 18 per cent of the value of imports. It decreases then on 104 per cent. The increases apply to imports valued at 146 million dollars the decreases to a valuation of 93 mil lions. The senate has changed the duties so as to add 27 millions worth of imports to the total list of reductions reported by tne nnance committee, duc at the same time it has added more than 44 million dollars' worth to the list in increases, the additional in creases of duty thus being nearly twice as large as the additional reduc lions, measured by the value of the I TT-i T-.-1 r a rf 19 0 7 Early in the day Senator Aldrich. obtained consent that the hour of ad journment should be postponed in definitely. The last day's work con sisted inclearing uD the odds and inds of the bill. The only important amendments adopted were those on the tobacco schedule and levying duty crude olL Numerous others, including those by Bristow on sugar and LaFolIette on the tariff commis sion, were rejected. When all th-j amendments were out of the way Senator Gore got the floor. "We have been engaged in the old game of my boyhood," he said, "Simon says thumbs down. Simon says thumbs up. Simon says wig-wag. The chair man of the committee on finance has been playin the role of Simon and the majority has followed his lead. Mary had a little lamb that followed her to school one day. The chairman of the finance committee his fifty lambs and they follow him every day and everywhere." CSop to Farmers. The Oklahoma senator referred to the duties on wheat and corn as a sop to the farmers. Tou hight as well put duty on wa ter falls," he said, "to aid the develop ment of Niagara." In conclusion he called on the presi dent to veto the bill in accordance with the pledges in the campaign. A final effort by Senator Bristow to secure the adoption of his amendment striking out the duties and the color test of the sugar schedule, and impos ing on sugar chemically bleached the same rate of duty as that imposed upon the refined product, was unsuc cessful. Mr. Bristow stated that the only interest that would object to the amendment was the sugar trust. as it would not injure the beet sugar or cane sugar producers of this coun try. He appealed to the finance com mittee to accept the amendment, but Chairman Aldrich made a motion to lay it upon the table. Senator Dol li ver supported the amendment. Mr. Aldrich's motion was adopted with out division, as Senator Bristow was unable to get a roll call. An amend ment by Senator Gore, apparently in tended to decrease Asiatic immigra tion, was also rejected. It was offered as an amendment to an amendment by Senator Overman, imposing a tax of $10 tacit upon immigrants. Sena tor Gore pr-osed to exclude any im migrant who was unable to write fifty words of any European language.

It is re ported here that Raleigh Aitchison, one of the star left handers of the Wichita club has jumped and will be seen In an Izzy uniform no more this year. He was with the Wichita team when it pulled out of Kansas City late Monday night, but he has not been seen since and it is thought that he quit the team at some flag station.

The Fly Is a Deadly Danger Pest They breed and thrive in the filth and germ laden surroundings such as garbage cans, reeking manure piles unclean cuspidors and open outhouses. Their feet act as living swabs for carrying filth and germs from such places to the very food you eat. Keep them out of Your Home with the Proper Kind of Screens It's poor economy to save the price of the right kind of screens and run the risk of fevers and sickness from the invasion of these pests. Then there's your own comfort to be considered. Flies are an annoy ance as well as a disease carrying pest. Dependable Screen Doors $1.00 to $3.75 We have a very extensive line of ready made screen doors. They are the- best possible to buy at any price.

If ten per cent of her allegation is true, the plaintiff in the latest divorce suit ia --entitled to threap chances at the defendant with a shot gun.- Many divorce petitions are sensational, but the charges made aginst her husband by Mrs. Mary C. Oldham, of 312 Clay street, are worse than usual. Mrs. Oldham, widow of Samuel Oldham, married Francis M. Oldham, brother of her deceased husband, in 1S9. By her former marriage, she had three children, the youngest be ing a girl. Therefore, her second husband was not only the stepfather of these children, but an uncle and blood relative. For several years, the petitioner says, her husband has exhibited symptoms of moral degen eracy, and made a practice of telling the boys that immoral practices were right. As soon as the little girl ap proached the age of partial develop ment, he transferred his attentions to her, making improper suggestions. Mrs. Oldham alleges that the man has some Influence over the girl which re sembles hypnotism, and about a year ago, for the purpose of saving her daughter, she took the children and Ted to Maryland. Now she has come back to secure a divorce, and wants a restraining order to prevent the de fendant from coming near her or her little girl. The plaintiff owns her home at 312 Clay street. Oldham is employed by the Wolf! Packing company. Saw Rats Freight an Egg. After an Investigation covering two weeks, William Krohback of Fifth street has learned the reason he has been receiving only two or three eggs a dav from his flock of 60 hens, and incidentally found out something about the inventive capacity of rats. This morning he heard a noise in his chicken house, and, quietly making his way there, he saw two big rats in the act of making away with a newly laid egg. One of the rodents was lying fiat on Its back with the egg tightly clutched in its four paws, while the other rat was dragging it along by the tail. Krohbach was so impressed by the sight that he watch ed tbe rodents for three minutes, dur ing which time they carried the egg for 20 yards along the fence until they came to a hole in the ground, into which they took the egg. One of the rats became tired while carrying the egg and changed places with its fel low. Darby, Pa., dispatch to Phila delphia Record. USE MOTOR BOATS Search of Hirer For Body of David K. Thomas. Escaped From Topeka State Hospital Three Weeks Ago. NOT A TRACE FOUND. Relatives and Friends Believe That He Was Drowned. Once Swam the Kaw in Dead of Winter. A little squadron of motor boats commanded by former Detective Geyer of Emporia will venture out into the Kaw early tomorrow morning at a point opposite the state hospital for the Insane to begin a two days' search for the body of David R. Thomas, an escaped Inmate of the In stitution. Working down stream the boats will go slowly and carefully as possible on their sorrowful mission searching diligently the clumps of brush and the piles of debris washed up along the banks, or dragging the bottom with grappling hooks. Unless the body is found sooner the boats will spend to morrow and Sunday In a thorough search from Topeka to the dam at Lawrence which it is thought would hold the body should It have been washed, that far. Thomas escaped from the asylum nearly three weeks ago and though he has been hunted throughout Lyon county and Emporia and the police at Attica, Indiana, have looked for him, no trace has been found and his brother at Emporia has hired Detec tive Geyer to institute a diligent search, sparing no money in an at tempt to find the missing man dead or alive, and in addition a reward of $25 has been offered to anyone who can give any information leading to his whereabouts. At Attica, Indiana, live the man's wife and two children. It has been his constant cry at the hos pital to go to them. "I want to go to mv wife and babies," he repeated con tinually with tremulous voice. Thomas is the same man who, breaking from the institution March 18, swam the icy river in an attempt to get the train for Attica. .He es enped by wrenching an iron bar from the window casing and dropping to the ground from his second story window by the aid of a rope made from his bed sheets. Carrying the iron bar with him he held the attendant at bay for several hours in a clump of bushes on the river bank, threatening to kill the man if he came closer. The two had then stood glaring at each other for nearly an hour when Thomas ran out onto a sandbar, threw off his Jumper and with only an undershirt on swam across. A group of negroes dragged him al most frozen out of the river at the coal chutes and took him in by the engine to warm him. There be was placed in the police patrol wrapped in a horse blanket and hauled to the station. Asked what he was trying to do, the man seemed rational enough and replied: "I wanted to go to my wife an babies. I have not seen them for a long time. They live at Attica, Indiana, and I know the want to see me. I got a let ter from my wife a year ago the 20th of this month, my birthday, and she said she wanted to see me. Today is her birthday and I had to get there by tonight if I could." Thomas represent ed the Metropolitan Life Insurance company in Topeka about 1895 and as he rode along remarked about the im provements in the city and pointed out the old buildings he knew. Twice before he had tried to get back to Attica. Once he succeeded in boarding a Union Pacific train after getting across the river. He arrived safely In Kansas City but when he transferred to take the Wabash to St. Louis, he boarded another Union Pa ciflc train and returned to North To peka where an attendant happened to be looking for him. Another time he stood close behind the door of his ceil so that when the attendant not seeing him readily stepped into the room, he grabbed him from behind, shoved him across the room and leaping outside locked the door with the key left in the outside. Thomas fled into the country and disappeared for several days, being captured only when he turned up at a farm house begging food. The wife and babies of Thomas never came west with him and it is believed that family troubles deranged hi mind. It is nearly ten years since he was sent up from Lyon county and al ways his wail from that derangement has been either, "I want to go back to my w-ife and babies," or "I want to help men, women, and children. In business Thomas was a well known and well liked man and many business men of Emporia and Topeka doubtless remember him. A colored woman shoplifter captured operating in the John Rhodes curiosity shop at Tenth and Kansas avenues this morning is the first case of that pe cular brand of larceny to come before the nolice court in months. Mary Marshall or Mary Reed as she prefers to be called was caught sight of by Rhodes just as she was in act of 'startling an eight yard piece of blue gingham under her skirt.

The proprietor has seen small colored boys with sacks before and grew suspicious. Stepping to the tele phone he called "48." When he looked around the boy had disappeared, presumably knowing that "48" meant cops. Now there is only one way to get into the old curiosity shop and that is past the telephone where stood Mr. Rhodes, but after passing through that small passage way there are labyrinths of narrow al leys running in every direction among the hisrh walls of a million different kinds of junk seemingly for blocks. The boy did not come past Mr. Rhodes in his escape and will undoubt edly be found some time during the next few days hidden away in some far corner of the shop. But as for Mary. She had, during the brief space out of sight, disgorged her plunder and the proprietor found it lying on the floor. But he wanted her arrested as an ex ample. The "4S" line had been busy so Rhodes dashed madly out into the street, looking for a policeman and at the same time trying to keep a watch on the exit of his trap. Running side wise in order to watch both before and behind, Mr. Rhodes ran four blocks down to Sixth avenue before he over took Patrolman Parcels walking north on his beat. There the two were met by Chief Eaton and ail three went back to arrest Mary. Kight months without a trip to the police station is Mary's enviable record since her refjrroation so she was hauled in the closed Maria. After, an animated recital of her good behavior shr was headed off by the good Judge who let her off easily with a. $5 fine and Mary passed into the tenfler care" of the matron to serve her five days. In an uneventful raid last night upon the domicile of one Lucy Stevenson at 314 Crane street. Patrolmen England and Bryant gathered up Miss Lucy and six bottles of beer and six empty bot tles. Her company was out sudden iy and no other arrests were made. Lucy will be arraigned this evening for maintaining a nuisance. Because the lad in the hack fare case was not on hand at the time set for the trial this morning, being delayed by his mpther's slowness in getting ready to accompany him, the case was contin ued until tomorrow morning.

Denver, Colo., July 9. Football, Marathon running and such sports as tend to disable the American youth received a rough jolt in the depart ment of physical education of the Na tional Educational association this morning. The place of physical education in the field of hygiene was the subject of William V. Slocum, president of Colo rado college, Colorado Springs, Colo. Ira B. Fee, deputy superintendent of schools of Wyoming, made the prin cipal attack on what he termed the "rough" sports. He admitted that there is an element of virtue in foot ball but in the end it is far too rough. He said: "Football in the secondary schools is played by boys from 15 to 19 years of age boys who have not yet attain ed full age and development. The game in itself is exciting and abounds in opportunities for good team work. In many ways a great mental acumen can be "developed by the training th-it is given by this game. But 1 believe that the benefit derived is more than counterbalanced by the risk of phys ical injury and this is the almost unanimous verdict of physicians with whom I have talked concerning this branch of athletics. "The' long distance runs I unquali fiedly condemn for boys of a high hool age. The long and guclling contest is a painful tax on thj heart and lungs and cases have several times come under my own observa tions where boys competing in the dis tance runs have as a result become incurably afflicted with hfart troublp." Mr. Ft-e advocated a Kystem of ath letics which will help weak and xtrong alike In training, thus making it im possible to forget the weaklings fnr th! sturdy youths. Basket ball and handball he regarded aa the Ideal sports. Han on the "Ktil KihwIm." William S. Sutton of University of Texas Jr-d the disciiHsinn and he tnrt ed the ball rolling by urging that what he termed "the evil Hports," be placed under the ban of th BHHOcia tion. In the discussion that follow d it bfcatne evident that the trfnd is In ward a form of athletics which will cnab!" the weaker boys to partake In exercise which now is dominated by their more muscular brothers. During the morning the executive committee took up the matter of the next meeting place for the association. The board of directors last night bv an advisory votf, indicated San Francisco as their prefr-renco by an ov-r hr-lm-ln majority. Now, howevor, the Milwaukee "boosters" Insist the fisht Is not over and that they will continue to pull for Milwaukee. "The fight over this 1b hearir-d by farroll G. Pear, superintendent of Milwaukee n-hoo, who says the matter will not be de termined fina'ly before next January. Final meetings were held in nint departments today. Among them va a renewd discussion of the norma! department which heard extended re ports of work iti normal schools. The department of manual training held Its last session and this time th influence of industrial arts and s 1 encos upon the rural home was tak'n up. Crce T. Work of Denton. Texi. president of the college cf industrial arts, was the principal speaker. Mrs. Ellen H. Richards of Boston spoke on domestic sciences.

Schoch. chairman of the club house committee of the City Fed, announces a meeting of her committee Monday evening at 7 o'clock at her house, 510 Topeka avenue. A picnic party at Vine wood "Wed nesday evening included: Miss Ethel Fankey, Mr. Wilbur Condit. Dr. and Mrs. O. O. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. H. Hill, Mr. Louis Hill, Miss Jennie Bar ber and Mr. J. A. Garrison. Did you ever notice the difference between a band of ragged little pick aninnies and a group of white chil dren of a similar station of life? Drive through the neighborhoods where black and white children play together in the streets and you will notice that the black boys and girls are happy, healthy and well fed even it they are ragged and dirty. The white children, on the other hand, are thin, anaemic looking", ill nourished with old, worn faces. They seem tired and discouraged even' at play, but the little black imps are apparently full of the joy of life and at peace with the world. "Xegroes are happier and better fed, as a rule," says a Topeka man who has studied local sociological conditions, "than the poor .whites. They like to eat and they will have good food in preference to anything else. Kegro children are happier than many white children because they are better nourished and are surrounded by more love and care in their homes. You rarely hear of a little darky be ing beaten or abused by Its parents. And if the parents desert the child there is usually an oltf 'Tnanimj-, a grandmother, or kin ever farther re moved, who takes him in and shares her little all with him. The white boys who go to the reform school are usually sent on the request of their parents who, nine times out of ten, want to get rid of them. But the parents of the black boys fight against having them sent to the reformatory and beg the authorities to give them another chance, promising better be Jiaviour for them." The married Women say s that the mother-in-law joke is no joke but that it is the husband's mother who- makes the trouble. The wife's mother, they declare, is always devoted to her son-n-law and takes his part against her daughter in every argument or dis agreement that arises, but the hus band's mother is jealous of hw daugh-itcr-in-law and dislikes her on general principles from the start. The theory ;ls reasonable: mothers and daughters ;re not usually especially congenial and are no more devoted than any oth er two women; but a mother loves her son with a jealous affection and rarely feels kindly toward the woman who takes him from her. Front porch prohibition argument "Prohibition is not the solution of the problem. The thing to do is to make whisky more accessible. Take off the tax, and the tariff, remove the enor mous profits in its manufacture and the saloon with Its baleful social and political influence will disappear. Tou will buy your wines and whisky of your grocer, as you do your vinegar, and at the same price. With whisky at 15 cents a quart the laboring man's drink won't take much bread and meat out of the mouths of his children. He will drink at home and when there isn't money enough to buy meat and bread, the price of one drink, under present conditions, will buy enough whisky so the whole family may temporarily for get their hunger and want Drink will Injure a man physically and financially but it is doubtful if it hurts him morally. In other words, ii. often seems as if a man drinks too much because he is worthless, rather than that he is worthless because he drinks too much. It is often said that this man or the other would be a great success if he were not a drunk ard, but the chances are that he is a drunkard because he is lacking in moral fibre, anyway, that he had a congenital moral infirmity which made him succumb to the drink habit. Even if he couldn't get anything to drink the chances are he would not amount to much that he would be lazy, ir resolute, unreliable. Of course his de ficiency in will or judgment might be traced to a drinking ancestor. And there is no denying that a worthless drunkard is mora disagreeable and more dangerous than a worthless sober man. There are also many able and sucessf uJ men whodrintewhorrdght have achieved greater efficiency, done more for their own times and 'the ones who came after' if they had not wasted time and money and health on drink." A successful Kansas surgeon is trav eling in Europe this summer accom panied by his family, a party of nine in all, and is paying all the expenses or the trip.

Abilene, Kan., July 9. The farmers of southeast Dickinson have been cut ting wheat by night the past few day3 to avoid the intense heat. The harvest of the county is about half over and the prospect is for an average yield of twenty bushels per acre, making an average of $75 for every inhabitant of the county from this crop alone. The farmers are selling freely and are getting a level price of $1 a bushel for the first time at this season since July. 1881. With the promise of large corn crop they are happy and expect to see another rise in the price of land when 6ales begin next fall.

A carload of Q-Ban Hair Restorer aiiC Tonic was bought by one firm of retail druggists In Omaha City. Evi dently the gray heads and those peo ple possessing this straggly hair liv ing In Omaha City are commencing to realize that the advantage of preserv ing a youthful appearance is not to be lightly disregarded. Dr. Osier's theory may be wrong, but nevertheless, many men have failed to secure a position that otherwise they might have secured but for the gray hairs that announced the approach of loss of energy and youth. Who makes the best impres sion on the employer seeking help the man with gray hair, or the man with a youthful head of hair? The use of Q-Ban Hair Restorer can make some people look as if twenty years had been rolled back for them. One writer testifies to the fact that a two-weeks course restored the few gray hairs he had to the original col or. If Q-Ban Hair Restorer does not do the same for you after using six bottles, your money will be refunded by the druggist of whom you buy the preparation. We claim for the Hair Tonic that it will keep your scalp in a healthy condition and will increase the length of the hair at least three Inches per year until the limit of rrowth has been reached. If you are gray haired or becom ing gray, you can have the first fuil sized 50 cent package of Hair Restor er by simply mailing your address and 12 cents in postage to Hespig-EUis Drug Company, Memphis, Tenn., or call at either of Marshall Bros.' drug stores, 135 Kansas avenue, and 511 Kan-. sas avenue.

Scandals are not confined to the human race. "W. F. Hemphill, manager of the lo cal Independent Telephone company, has returned from Hutchinson where he attended a meeting of the In dependent telephone companies of the southwest district. The board of directors of Washburn college are planning to accommodate 1.000-students at tbe college this year. They claim that the new- administra tion and the eqpipment is receiving grand support over the state. It is time for the membership fees to be paid by the members of the Commercial club and the acting sec retary is busily engaged in sending out the notices. There are now 850 members of the Topeka Commercial club. If some people are contemplating a kick on the fact that the city will have to spend $50,000 to maintain the fire department next year, they should rememoer that at one dollar per capita this city is lower than any other city in the united States. Samuel K. Lux says the city motor ists are getting tired of the way the city council is dallying with the auto ordinance. If the Topeka motorists had left the ordinance alone originally there would have been no trouble whatever at the city hall. Miss MabeV Crotty, executive of the national board of the T. W. C. A., is spending the day in Topeka. The as sociations of Kansas are not at pres ent connected with the national board and Miss Crotty hope an affiliation will take place in the near future. A regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the T. W. C. A. was held yesterday afternoon when plans were discussed for the building campaign. These plans are being kept an intense secret and will be divulged in all probability in the early fall. Chief Eaton wants to be county sheriff. Judge Simon would like to be county attorney and thus the political machinery in Shawnee grinds slowly. These two men are conducting quite an active campaign despite the fact that the election is over a year away. The graders graded Mulvane street for the curbers. The curb men came to the street and the big rain had washed some of the embankment into their way. Both refuse to han dle the work. It looks as though it was up to nature to come back and fix up the damage. Warren Dunaway, formerly cap tain of the baseball team at Wash burn, a graduate of 1908 and a mem ber of the Delta Phi fraternity, is combining his banking work in Arkansas with a position as second base In the Newport team of the Arkansas state league. The quarterly and semi-annual state ments sent out yesterday to the mem bers ot the Commercial club are re ceiving prompt attention. The first man on the scene this morning to pay his dues was W. H. Cowles. He was on the spot before 8 o'clock to take his place in line had there been one. In speaking of the influence of Washburn college and Kansas univer sity where is the secret when the Lawrence high school beckons to a Washburn boy for principal and ath letic director when hundreds of K. U. graduates applied for the position and when Washburn has never had a gym nasium until this year? Without the aid of storm sewers the city sewer system carried off the sur plus water In fine style. Much of this is due to the tireless efforts of Street Commissioner Snyder in keeping the sewers clean and from "choke." Of course there were some places in the city where a river would not have been able to take care of the water. Notices have been received of the Qlidden tour which will pass through Topeka on July SO. Seventy-five automobiles will pass through this city at that time. The American Auto mobile association advises that people keep their chickens and children off from the streets. Topeka does not have chickens on her streets. All of the holes in the pavements over the city are being repaired as fast as possible and It is hoped that the first of August the city engineer can start out his paving records with a clean slate after the holes have once been repaired there will be no more on ac count of the new rules and regulations under which the excavators have to work. The fame of the Commercial club has reached Campus, Kan. A letter from Rev. John A. Bright, formerly of To peka, with enclosure for membership in the organization, was received today by Secretary George Badders. Mr. Bright says, "I am 'homesick' for Topeka, the best place on earth in which to live. He expects to return to Topeka to live about the first of October. A number of the members of the Commercial club will probably attend the Tranamississippi Commercial con gress to be held in Denver August 16 to 21 President Taft has promised to attend "the convention and the program will be of much practical value to commercial men. Mr. George Badders has received some literature on the convention from the Santa Fe. There will be special rates for the occasion. Secretaries Stoddard, Cowden and Montgomery are the only X. M. C. A. officers on deck at the Central Y. M. C. A. C. H. Fenchtermacher and W. B. Dye are at the boys' camp. Maple Hill, and W. O. Hunter is at his home at Lyons pitching hay.

KETCHEL MADE MISTAKE Eastern Sports Do Not Favor His Match With Hansford. New York, July 9. News that Stanley Ketchel had been signed to fight Sam Langford at Ely, Nev., on Labor day provided a big surprise to New York sporting men and a great disappointment to Ketchel's eastern friends. Although $20,000 guaranteed to the Montana pugilist, win, lose or draw, might be a great temptation to almost any fighter, it is argued that Ketchel's engagement to meet Jack Johnson for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world in October should have precluded such a fight as that planned with Langford.' Dismissing the very strong belief which has prevailed since the Papke fight last Monday that Langford can whip Ketchel the latter's friends be lieve that to stand any show with Johnson he must take a long rest in which he must put on much weight and then train actively for a few weeks before th-e Johnson fight. If Ketchel should whip Langford sport ing men doubt that after such a fight as Langford is sure to give him he will not be able to make any kind of a showing against Johnson. BIG LUMBER DEAL.

The railroad situation in Topeka and Kansas as a result of the recent high water is improving. The only trouble of any consequence is that of the Santa Fe on the cutoff at Ottawa. The reports received by the general offices from that place shows a fall of 16 inches during the night, and extra gangs of track men are now working fixing the tracks at Ottawa and Pomona, and it is expected the traffic can be resumed tonight. Today the trains from over the cutoff and southern Kansas lines are being run through Topeka, and many of the freights as well. The banta re ter minals in Topeka are badly crowded handling the extra trains and accom modating the passengers. The other railroads are doing nice ly. The soft places in the tracks are beins repaired and the trains on both the Rock Island and Union Pacific are more nearlv on time today than yes terday or at any time since the heavy rain of Tuesday night. The Santa Fe is having lots or trou ble in Missouri where there are a number of bad places in the track, and manv submerged stretches. None of the Santa Fe's trains are running over the main line, but are being detoured from Kansas City to Chicago via other lines. Card of Thanks.

SMiss Pankhurst Pleads Her Own Case in Police Court. London, July 9. Sir Albert "D Rutsen, chief magistrate of the Me tropolitan police court today decided against the suffragettes on the point raised by Miss Pankhurst regarding their right to present a petition to the premier, and the court sentenced Miss Pankhurst to pay a fine of $25 or go to prison for a month on the scharge of resisting the police. The constitutional question raised )ry Miss Pankhurst was argued at .great length and the magistrate be fore announcing his judgment said he anticipated that an appeal would be (made to a higher court. Miss Pank hurst who defended herself, declared .that her assault on Police Inspector IJarvis on the night of June 30, when ,116 suffragettes were arrested for try ing to force their way Into the house of commons, was ner "gage of bat tle to the government and defiance for its unconstitutional ways." "I was aware," continued Miss Pankhurst, "that when I started that deputation of eight helpless women, about whom men armed with opera glasses, congregated to watch as though it was a good show, it was 'tubuses J illy ear -Lost is 100 Gingham and i were Special for Choice of any Tub Special for Messaline Gowns Silk Your choice of dreses that sold up to or pecia Quality Tells T This Bank will continue along the same conservative lines which has marked the success of its manage ment long before there was any Banking Law in the State of Kansas.

As political of fenders, we will insist on being treat ed as such and not as ordinary crim inals, and in the last resort we will act as did Miss Dunlop." Miss Dunlop obtained her release by starving herself for 91 hours. Mrs. Haverfleld, daughter of Lord Abinger, was given the same sentence as Miss Pankhurst. Both the women notified the court of their intention to appeal from the judgment and they were released on promising to abstain from sending further deputations to the house of commons during the present session. The cases of all other suffragettes arrested with Miss Pankhurst were adjourned pending the outcome of the appeal. Followers of Mrs. DesPard, who have been acting as sentinels around the house of commons for the last week picketed Premier Asquith's residence in Downing street this af ternoon, but four of the women wera promptly arrested by the police.

14 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTJRirAIr FRIDAY EVENING JULY 9, 1909. LENORAjjHANGES. Transformed From a Desert Waste to Beauty Bower. Blue Grass Has Succeeded the Old Time Buffalo Sod. MANY SHADE Til EES. Hundreds of Modern Homes Take Place of Sod Houses. Fine Old Trees Furnish Shade to Home Owners and Visitor. Lenora, Kan., July 9. The Missouri Pacific (Central Branch) was completed to Lenora in lS8i. The changes have been wonderful in these years. Then the entire townsite was carpeted with buffalo grass, today the bluegrass has taken its place"; then there wasn't a tree in sight except along the banks of the river, today one can't see the town on account of the thousands of shade trees; then there were several sod houses on the townsite, todav there are large numbers of modern houses and attractive lawns; then there wasn't a sidewalk of any kind on the townsite. while today there are about 10 miles o cement walks; then the population was few, while today Lenora boasts of more than 500 population. Is Center of Thrifty Community. Lenora and tributary country sup port two roller water power flour mills. It is the terminus of the north Solomon railroad. Her people for years 'have been looking for a western exten sion, and when once pushed to Denver they believe it will be the best thing that has ever happened for good of town and country. The people of Le nora want a western railroad connec tion. The increase in school population necessitates the building of a more commodious school house, and during the summer and fall more school room will be provided. i One of the pioneer merchants of Le Ticrra is Jose-ih Barbo, who located here in 1879. He shi? -d his opening stock from Wakeeney. about 50 miles, by horse conveyance, and it took a good 48 hours. Mr. Barbo is doing business here, and believes Lenora is one of the best small towns in the state. He has grown over 100 now bearing cherry trees, and from his early crop he has realized more than $60. Many Handsome Trees Flourish. The shade trees growing in Lenora are the Carolina poplars, elm and box elders. A few years ago people com ing west for a long distance could see Lenora. Today one has to travel through iV, streo- the shade trees are so thick and grow so thriftily. Lenora supports two banks and two lumber yards. In the last two years it has made big gain in new '-tidings. It had been an even dozen years since the writer had visited this railroad terminus. To keep up with the pro cession in Lenora o" visit the town oftener. Beyond a Jew old timers the place had grown way beyond recollection. There is S. Larnick. R. A. Richmond. Joseph Barbo. A. Hendricks, and per haps a few more of the oldest settlers who are yet living and in business. Really the town didn't look if I had ever before seen it. the progress made has been so marvelous and nermanent. And all agree that the good crops now looking so promi'-iner will result in a greater business and buildin" pros perity than Lenora has ever before ex perienced. DO NOT UKE XEAV FRCTT LAW. Growers Claim Large Boxes Will Cause Contents to Spoil. Leavenworth, Kan., July 9. The fruit growers of this vicinity declare that the law passed by the state legis lature at the last session affecting the legality of certain packages for the packing of fruit is highly impractica ble. A particular grievance lies in the packing of the smaller berries. At the present each box of berries is supposed to contain seven-eighths quarts and thev are compelled to mark them so, although local grocers claim that they do not contain that amount. The law requires that a box shall contain one full quart. One half bushel of berries will be used in filling the crates. The farmers now say that the ber ries will not keep if they are placed in larger boxes, that they crush down upon each other and lose, not only their flavor but their quality. The grocers, on the other hand, are still more opposed to the new law in that they are forced to lose on all sides. After the farmer has packed the ber ries.' he holds them over night, the grocer must hold at least a portion of them over for still another day and the ultimate decomposition can not be avoided. The grocer also says, that if the box is larger, the price will be higher and many objections will be heard of this as the regulation size box is as much as a small family wants. One grocer in this city says that if corn, oats, wheat and other things which are weighed by the bushel have their standards of weight, has not the berry, and if so. what is it? HEAT KILLS MAXY HORSES. Many Animals Have Succumbed to High Temperatures. Salina, Kan., July 9. The intense heat of the past few days, according to veterinarians, is causing many farmers to lose valuable horses. Work ing hard in the fields, the horses be come prostrated before giving any evidences that the heat is affecting them. The local veterinarians are called out almost constantly to attend such cases. The worst feature or it an they say, is that the horses generally die before the doctors, can reach the rcene. No estimate has been made of the number of horses lost in this manner in the past week because many of them died almost instantly ana veier inarians were not called. But the doctors are having several cases each The number far exceeds- that- of previous years and it Is said that the average temperature has been higher this harvest than at any time for manv years. Even the rains do not seem to have the least cooling effect and the clouds give no relief. The temnerature has scarcely ventured be low 70 at night in a week and in the middle of the day it has hung close to the 100 mark. DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS YVROXG.

When you buy a cake of Galvanic Laundry. Soap of your grocer today price 5c- I'll buy for you a cake of Palmolive Soap a toilet and bath soap that you will delight in a soap never sold for less than 10c. Let it be my thanks to you for trying Galvanic Soap. I'm going to do this for a little time to introduce Gal vanic Soap to you housewives who now use a merely good soap. i I want you to know how much better a laundry soap I make and sell for 5c. I offer the cake of Palmolive to make the purchase of the first cake of Galvanic worth while, regardless of its cwn value. I Fori know you dislike trying different soaps. Will you j let me reciprocate, will you let me prove what you are missing by not using Galvanic Soap? One thing you're missing is cocoanut oil. Cocoanut oil is one reason why Galvanic Soap makes clothes cleaner and whiter why it goes twice as far as a yellow soap why you need rub only very soiled spots and need not boil the clothes. I go 10,349 miles to Ceylon to get cocoanut oil. That's what makes it expensive. That's why others won't tise it. They prefer to make merely good soap. But nothing's too good for those who use Galvanic Soap. 300,000 Housewives Converted I figure that 300,000 housewives now use Galvanic Soap every day use it for laundering and washing dishes. Why should you miss what they're getting? See what it is. Learn if the merely good soap you use now isn't a great deal less for 5c isn't far behind. Please take my word for the moment until you have tried the first cake. It's Honest Soap Galvanic cannot harm the clothes. I've 36 years' reputation dependent on Gal vanic Soap. I can't afford to make statements that my soap will not prove in a trial. Don't pay 5c for a merely good laundry soap soap not one-half so effective. Learn what you save and gain using Galvanic Soap.

RAISE A rrxn FOR WARREN. Socialists Donate $15,000 to Cause of Their Leader. Fort Scott, Kan., July 9. It is re liably stated that since the conviction and sentence of Fred Warren here in United States court, the sum of $15, 000 has been raised to be used as a fund for Warren to appeal his case It is understood that the case will be taken to the supreme court of the fnited States, which tribunal Mr. Warren so fearlessly attacked when he stood up to receive sentence at the hands of Judge Pollock the other day. Warren says he never meant to in duce anyone to break a law, but rather sought to call attention to the decision of the highest of courts .in the Hay wood kidnaping case. The Apneal to Reason has claimed all along that the government simply sought to pile up costs for the purpose of bankruDtinc the naDer. but in late editions appeals have been made for popular subscriptions, ana the tuna is saia to nave reacnea tne i,uuu mark. The attorneys in the case are being handsomely paid for their work. Dar row was paid $20,000 for his work in acquitting Haywood. It is said that he was given a retainer 01 ji.uuu when he took the Warren case. Gen eral Boyle and J. I. Sheppard. the other two lawyers representing War ren, will also receive a princely sum for their services. PAIN IN THE BUCK OFTEN MEANS RHEUMATISM LX THE BLOOD. GROCERS TO FIGHT BAKERS. Wichita Retail Merchants Unite to Build $25,000 Plant. Wichita. Kan., July 9. As a result of the fight between the grocers and bakers of this city over the price of bread, the grocers have decided to build a large bakery and warehouse ana make all the bread they nanaie. They expect to invest $25,000 in the plant, and will buy flour In large quantities and store it in the ware house. The bakers have been making twelve-ounce loaves which retail at 5 cents. As most of the bread is han dled by the grocers, thev get the com plaints from the people. The grocers contend that a sixteen-ounce loaf can be made and sold for 5 cents, even at the present high price of flour, and a fair profit can be made. If the grocers buy sixteen-ounce loaves from the bakers and sell them at 5 cents, they loser money. The re tail grocers' association is back of the matter, and the members will take all the stock. NEOSHO RIVER AGAIN NORMAL. Few Small Bridges Went Out But Damage to Crops Is Light. Council Grove. Kan., July 9. The government water gauge at this point shows 5 3-10 inches of rainfall and it is, said that much more rain fell east and south of here. The Neosho river is back to normal and aside from a few small bridges which were washed away little damage was done Slid corn which was under many feet of water is fast straightening up and unless again flooded will not be in jured. t The farmers claim that the corn stalks this year are exceptionally large and deep rooted and corn will reach if not exceed the average yield with no more rains. NEOSHO IS SLOWLY FALLING. Lowlands Still Flooded and Damage Will Be Extensive. Emporia. Kan., July 9. After rising within ten inches of the highest water mark on record, the Neosho river be gan falling slowly. The water was running sixteen. feet eight inches above low water mark when at its highest and over two feet of water stood in the waterworks pumping station. "The lowlands are flooded and crops will be damaged. The Cottonwood is only six feet above its normal stage. One of the severest electrical storms ever seen here accompanied the rain. Here Is a Treatment That Is Highly Recommended as a Permanent Cure. Most treatments for rheumatism aim to "keep down" the poison in the blood and enable nature to cure that particular attack. Then, when the system becomes run down from any cause the disease again gets the up per hand, and it all has to be done over. The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills has proved by nun dreds of cures that it builds up the blood to a point that enables it to cast out these poisons through the regular channels of excretion, the bowels, kidneys and the skin. When this is done the rheumatism is per manently cured and as the blood Is kept pure and rich the patient will be immune from attack of rheuma tism. Mrs. J. M. Nelson, of R. F. D. No If Daingerfleld, Texas, who was cured by this treatment, says: "The starting point of the rheu matism in my case was a cold. It became so much worse that I. was confined to the bed for a part of the time. For a month I didn't leave the house and for one week I couldn' sit up. The rheumatism attacked me in the back and the pains were very severe and constant. In bad weather the pains would also be in my limbs, Ms back was so painful that I could n't bend over. When I walked I had to use two walking sticks. couldn't eat anything that would agree with my stomach. My heart pained .me a lot and the doctors said this was due to indigestion. "I was treated for several weeks by the doctor but wasn't helped much Then an aunt, who had been benefit ed by Dr. Williams'-Pink Pills, urged me to try them. I did so and could see in a week that they were helping me. In a short time I was able to get up and walk around. I could bend over and pick things from the floor without hurting my back. From that time the rheumatism hasn't bothered me." Sufferers from rheumatism in any form, who have found their condition unrelieved or actually growing worse while using ordinary remedies, would do well to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by all druggists or direct by mail, postpaid, on re oeipt of price. 60c. per box; six boxes, $2.50. A helpful booklet will be sent free.

The thing, that is Editor of Appeal to Reason Attacks Federal Judge rouocu. Fort Scott. Kan., July 9. The Appeal to Reason very fearlessly re? ports the late -session of the federal iourt here, at which Judge Pollock pronounced sentence upon, the Apt peals editor. Fred D. warren. Tne report appears under a. deep lined heading .and warrens speecn, in Appeal cy, will live in revolutionary literatu.t the same as Patrick Henry's famous utterance of colonial times. The Appeal refers to Judge Pollock as Pilate and quotes from Holy writ that section treating- of Pilate s fa mous utterance. "I find no. fault in this man" when the Saviour was, without form of law dragged before the eourt which sentenced him to death. Willis Connor, who was foreman of the Warren jury, is bitterly de nounced in the paper as being a Re publican pensioner, and the other jurors are also attackea. tjierK White comes In for a share of the keen scathing, and the Appeal again refers to Postoffice Inspector Chance as a falsifier. The Appeal also makes an un dignified attack upon Connor, accus ing him, among other things, of be ing White's, "marked" man, and charging that he was under the in fluence of liquor when he was seen entering the federal building at the time of trial, and insinuates that John Watrous, the internal revenue col lector, could probably tell something of this- incident if he chose to talk. The Appeal's write-up is by far the most blistering that has yet ap peared, and it would not be surpris ing to see another suit instituted. BITTEN BY A TARANTULA.
