TWO CEXTa TESTS PRISONERS Dr. Crumbine Goes to Lansing to Examine Convicts. Presence of Consumption at the State Institution Alarming. Mil. CODDING'S litrOUT Says This Is Most Serious Prob lem at Prison. One Third of Deaths Due to Great White Plague. The state board of health has bought all the tuberculin that was to be had in Kansas City, Mo., and Dr. Crumbine, secretary or the board, will leave -o-T Ight for Lansing where he will test all the prisoners in the penitentiary tomorrow for symptoms of tuberculosis. It is stated on authority that one-third of the deaths in the prison every year are due to consumption. The crowded condition of the wards and cell houses and workshops are most favorable to the spread of this disease, and steps will be taken in the near future to prevent its spread in the penitentiary. J. K. Codding, the new warden, in Us report to the governor of his first week's work at the institution, has asked for a tuberculosis hospital. There Is room on the grounds for this build ing, most or tne material nreucu 'hand; and the skilled artisans to bulla it. After making the test on all the in mates of the penitentiary for tuber culosis rr. Crumbine will foe better able to pass upon the need of a hospital for tne special treatment 01 tnis uiseaac Governor Stubbs' idea is to make the Lansing institution a model of its kind in the west, so as the only request made so far by the new warden is for a tuberculosis hospital it is extremely likely that this improvement will be made in the near future. Warden Codding's report is of inter est and shows improvements already In many departments. The report fol lows: "For fear I will not get a chance to talk to you and give an account of mv stewardshiD here for the past week, let me say: We have put in the new dishes, a new cook; the screens to the dining room and kitchen are being made and will go on this week. The dog kennels have gone out of the brick yard; new screens are being put on for the hos pital. The greatest improvement noticeable to me is the better food and consequent better work from the prisoners. They are better contents and their condition is more in har mony with the Twentieth century ideas of orison management. We have commenced work on remodel ing the kitchen and will soon have it in pretty good shape, considering it is an old building: we will have the dining room ventilated, painted and conditions sanitary. "The most serious problem and the hardest one to solve is the tuber culosis question. We have a tent for our tuberculosis patients, but it is in the shade of a low, damp place and adjoining to the only open recreation grounds that I have for my prisoners on Sundays and holidays. Every cell house has tuberculosis men in it. There Is one working with the brick plant gang: I have one for a runner and these patients are so distributed among the men that the disease can not help being spread. My doctor in forms me than 30 per cent of the deaths in the penitentiary are from tuberculosis. I feel that we are doing a great injustice to those here who have the disease and full as great an injustice to the men who are sent here from over the state and com pelled bv our actions to come in con tact with this dread disease. I need a tuberculosis hospital. We have the room to put it up, the skilled artisans to build it and I wish you would take this matter up with Dr. Crumbine. "The cows have not yet been pur chased. We are asked 60 a head and find It difficult to get them. Am taking the matter up with ram who live in my county and other cow counties and hope to be able to find where I can get them. The condition of the prisoners, except tuberculosis patients is excellent. Only three in the hospital and none of them ser iously sick." Dr crumbine of the state board or health is sending out blanks in com pliance with the recent law which re quires that all cases of consumption in h. shall be recorded. The doc tor is of the opinion that when these statistics have been compiled that th-; number of cases of tuberculosis in the state will be surprisingly large. Recent statistics show that nearlv one million school children in the United States are infected with tuber culosis. In Boston a special commis sion which recently investigated the subject found that over 6.000 school children In that city alone had positive cases of tuberculosis. In New York a recent study showed over 25.000 tuber culosis children in th schools. It is claimed by the national associa tion that at least one-half of this sick ness and possibly three-fourths of i'. could be prevented if the municipal and state authorities would adopt better and more hygienic methods of con trolling and teaching the children and if the public in general were alive to the need of tuberculosis prevention. As a start in this work it is stated that 2.500,000 of the 17,000.000 school children enrolled In the United State3 have during the school year Just closed been systematically Instructed concern ing the dangers of consumption and the methods for its cure and preven tion. LAW PUZZLES THEM. New School Regulations Are Readily X'nderstood. Not The now law in regard to school district tax levies does not seem to percolate readily through the minds of the hundred and some school dis trict clerks of the county. The new law does away with a lot of red tape, and provides that on or before July 25 of each year, the clerk of each school district shall certify to the county clerk the aggregate amount determined by the school board of his district, to be necessary for school purposes during the next fiscal year. This done, the county clerk and the board of county commissioners makes a levy on the first Monday in August to cover the amount, and puts it on the tax rolls of the school district. Blanks have been furnished the school district clerks for this purpose, but dozens of them have written to the county officials for further in structions. All they have to do is to call a meeting of their respective school boards, and decide upon what they need, and then notify the county clerk on the blanks provided. SANTA FE GENEROUS. Took the Word of Pomona Wreck Victims for Amount of Loss. Ottawa. Kan., July 15. The Santa Fe railroad promptly assumed full responsibility for the Pomona wreck and has treated the passengers with great liberality. Four claim agents were on hand the day after the wreck and made prompt and satisfactory settlement for all losses. Passengers were asked to make a list ot what they had lost and checks were written without a moment's delay the word of the passenger being taken in every case as to the amount of loss. The company also announced its intention to pay the people of Po mona and vicinity for everything they did to aid the wreck-sufferers. Those who took the victims to their homes I were paid for the entertainment at hotel rates and all who aided in the rescue work were given checks in payment for their time. After settling with all who could be reached, the claim agents named a committee consisting of J. E. Reed, mayor of the town: S. V. Rice, justice of the peace, and the Rev. J. P. Clark, pastor of the Presbyterian church. This committee is to receive and audit all additional claims that may come in. All claims upon which the committee places its O. K. will be paid by the company the last of the week. The sums paid out will not be a total, loss to the Santa Fe as there will be considerable salvage. All day yesterday money, watches and jewelry were being found in the vicinitv of the wreck. Rolls of bills running from $25 to $200 were dis covered quietly nestling in women's satchels and men's pocket books. The watches will need cleaning, the monev has only to be dried out, but the satchels and clothing are of course pretty nearly a total loss. Everything found goes to the rail road company and its salvage in money, watches and jewelry will probably amount to several thousand dollars. COULD DO IT AGAIN. Weston Says It Was a Great Walk He Had. San Francisco, Cal.. July 15. When Edward Payson Weston handed to Postmaster Fiske the letter given him by Postmaster Morgan of New Tork city, on March 15, last, the little cer emony ended one of the most re markable feats of pedestrianism on record. Although Weston was behind the schedule he had set for himself, when he stepped off the Oakland ferry last night the old man was not downhearted. "It was a great walk," he said, "and but for unforeseen difficulties and hardships in the last three weeks of my joumev I would have been here on the hundredth day. Still I am feeling fine and could do it over again." PACKET IS OPENED. One Left by Sayler Said to Shed Light on His Murder. Crescent City, 111.. July 15. Con tents of the private packet left by the late banker, J. B. Sayler, opened today are said to be of a startling nature. According to W. R. Nightingale, who was present when the secret papers were read bv the brothers of the de cedent, the contents, which he refused to divulge, have a direct bearing on the killing of Mr. Sayler by Dr. W. L. Miller last Sunday as a result of alleged attachment of Mrs. Sayler and Dr. Miller. "We can't give what we found to the public, at least not now," said Mr. Nightingale. "I will say. however, that it is evidence which will prove of value to the prosecution of Dr. Miller, who is charged with murder, and of Mrs. Sayler, charged with being an accessory." As soon as the contents of the packet were learned by Thomas and I vviuis sayler. oroiners oi me late Danupr, ana air. -igniingaie, Mates Attorney Pallissard at Watzeka was notified by telephone. The state's at torney at once came to this village. ALL RIVERS TaLLING. Almost Normal Conditions Prevail in Flood Districts. Kansas City. Mo.. July 13. Almost normal conditions after two weeks of flood weather, were' resumed in west ern Missouri and in Kansas today. Trains were running almost on sched ule and all rivers were falling. A heavy rainfall, accompanied by a strong wind, prevailed in portions of Oklahoma and Arkansas early to day. At Muskogee. Okla.. a pre cipita tion of two inches was recorded and Fort Smith, Ark., reported 2.36 inches of rain. At the former point a heavy wind resulted in much minor damage. Another Pleasant Day. The Hood is really over. Today the river stands at 13.6. a fall of one foot during the night. Vers' little rain fell in the state last night, and practically none on the Kaw valley. The forecast is. "partly cloudy tonight and Friday. Cooler tonight in northeast part of the state." This afternoon the wind is blowing 10 miles an hour from the northeast, and will be of assistance to the high-brows of this office in their destruction of the strong-arm depart ment down stairs at baseball this af ternoon. The temperatures preceding a hot game were: 7 o'clock 73 Ml o'clock S2 8 o'clock 75 112 o'clock S4 9 o'clock 77 1 1 o'clock 84 10 o'clock 80 J 2 o'clock Si KANSASCITY O.K. Commission Form of Govern ment Is Adopted. Kesult of Special Election in Metropolis of Kansas. OVa RATI VE NEXT YEAR Next Step Will Be the Election of Commissioners. End of Slipshod Methods City Government. of Kansas City, July 15. By a majority of 1,489 in a total vote of 7,211, cast at a special election, held yesterday, Kan sas City. Kan., adopted the commission plan of government. .The new system is to become operative after commis sioners are chosen at the municipal election in April, next year. The commission plan failed of adop tion at a special election in June, 190.4, by a majority of 882. The Kansas law then was defective. It was amended at the last session of the legislature and the vote at the second trial yester day was S. reversal of the former ver diet. The total vote of 7.211 cast yesterday was a little more than 46 per cent of tne vote cast for the mayoralty candi dates at the regular city election last April. With no candidates running for ornce and no other municipal question at issue the vote is considered indi cative of the interest of the men and women of Kansas City, Kan., in the better government of their city. Many persons, it was evident from the returns, doubted the wisdom of a change in the form of municipal gov ernment, honestly believing it to be an experiment. The opposition to its adoption, however, was made up for the most part of politicians, office hold ers and persons connected with public service corporations) and it was from these that the hardest fight was made. Only Two Wards Against It. The returns were all in before 10 o'clock and were canvassed by the mayor and council. They showed majorities for the adoption of the commission form in the Second, Third. Fourth and Fifth wards, while the First and Sixth wards gave small majorities against it. The second campaign for the adop tion of the commission plan of mu nicipal government was launched early in May when petitions were put in circulation asking Mayor Guyer to call a special election. The peti tions were signed by 3,4 88 qualified voters. Upon the issuance of the call for the election a committee of one hundred men was organized to take charge of the campaign. With Willard Merriam, a real estate deal er, as chairman, the committee in cluded many business and profession al men of the city who were willing to cast aside their party affiliations in municipal matters to pull togeth er for their city's good. Aside from a host of efficient men and women workers there were many speakers who rode about the city making ad dresses from motor cars. Among those were ex-Mayor W. W. Rossi Mayor U. S. Guyer. H. E. Dean, Winfield Freeman, E. S. McAnany. James A. Cable and W. B. Sutton, Jr. "The adoption of commission govern ment Is the result of the new civic spirit that has been awakened in this city," said Willard Merriam, who was chair man of the commission form campaign committee. '"The people realized the importance of eliminating the kind of municipal government that accomplish ed nothing and handicapped the best development of the town. The vote to day was merely the expression of that opinion. The omcenoiaers wno joined hands with the special interests to de feat this fine public sentiment afforded the best illustration in the world as to the necessity for a municipal gov ernment that makes efficient public ser vice, rather than a political job, the first consideration of public officials. "Kansas City, Kan., has taken the most import---- step in its history, and the results will Justify the wisdom of the civic spirit which won the splendid victory." WANTED 20 TONS OF ICE Doctor Testifies Regarding Thaw's Fear of Typhoid Fever. White Plains. X. Y., July 15. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was ready to testify for the state, which is opposing her husband's release from the Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane, when the fifth dav of the hearing on Harry K. Thaw's mental condition was begun before Justice Mills in the supreme court her today. Dr. Otto Meyer of New York was the first witness. Dr. Meyer testified that he saw Thaw four times in the White Plains jail on October 8, 1908. and discussed with him the episodes included in a hypothetical question which the witness had prepared on which to base an opinion of the pris oner's sanity. On subsequent visits to the White Plains Jail and in the Mat teawan asylum, the physician talked freely with Thaw, he said, and got him to tell the story of his boyhood days. Dr. Meyer related a conversation when Thaw told him he feared he was going to have typhoid fever and suggested that his rooms at the jail should be cooled o with twenty tons of ice. TO RISE NO MORE. Another Submarine With Crew Goes to the Bottom to Stay. London. July 15. A wireless mes sage received at Portsmouth states that the submarine torpedo boat C 11 was in collision late last night with an unknown steamship near Iowest oft and was sunk with its crew of 16 men. Another submarine boat C 17 was also damaged in the collision but the crew was saved. It is understood that the crew of C 11 had no chance to escape: that they were locked inside the sub marine and went to the bottom with it. BIG HXD OP ASPHALT Starts a Stampede to the Shoshone Reservation. Cheyenne, Wyo., July 15. Immense quantities of asphaltum have been found on the Shoshone Indian reser vation. and a stampede from Lander to staKe out claims and secure land from the Indian department is taking place. AT THE OLD STAND. Taft's Position on Corporation Tax Is Unchanged. Washington, July 15. That Pres ident Taft "stands right where he stood all along," and will insist upon the adoption of the corporation tax amendment, is the substance of a re port made to the tariff conference to day by Senator Aid rich and Repre sentative Payne. The leasers of the senate and house were at the White House late last night, having been summoned by the president to explain a persistent rumor that the corpora tion tax proposition was in danger of being dropped in conference. It had been reported and not denied a ma jority of the conferees were opposed to the adoption of the measure pro viding for a 2 per cent tax on the net earnings of corporations organized for profit. The announcement that the ad ministration would be satisfied with a tax of one per cent and that the re draft of the amendment made by At torney General Wickersham would contain this change, did not remove the objections entertained by the con ference. The representatives of the house protested against the federal government; entering upon such a "new and radical method of raising revenues." Discouraging reports about the re ception planned for the proposition when it should be returned to the conferees determined the president to get at the bottom of the situation and learn if he could whether the senti ment against the amendment was strong enough to encompass its de feat. M'MAKUS IS SOLD. lies Moines Gets Catcher Burnum Suspension Raised. Frank McManus. the popular catcher of the Topeka team who has been under suspension for several days, has been sold to Des Moines and will leave tonight to join, the team of that city. Fred Burnum, a pitcher also under suspension has been ordered to report to the team at Sioux City tomorrow and will leave Topeka this evening, reporting there tomorrow when a double header will likely be played. This ends the suspension of the two players. It is thought by his many friends that Burnum will pitch much better ball from, now on. He will be given .every opportunity by Manager Cooley, and by. working in his regular turn he ought to be able to give a good account of himself. He is badly needed at the present time with the pitching staff in a condition none too good, and with sis games to be played at Sioux City. Burnum's fall from grace it is claimed was largely due to the influence of Mc Manus and it is likely he will do bet ter now that McManus has left the team. McManus when in condition is without a peer in the Western league. He ha3 many friends here, and all want to see him make good with the Des Moines team. Burnum is a good pitcher, and it is hoped that he will pitch as good ball as he has at different times thus far this season. REMEMBER IT RAINED. Witnesses for Ella Gingles Refute Testimony of Weather Man. Chicago, July 15. The defense to day began its final battle to free Ella Gingles, the Irish lacemaker, on trial in the criminal court charged with theft of lace from Miss Agnes Bar rette. Unless something of an unex pected nature should develop during the day's hearing all evidence will be before the jury before the close of the day. Attorneys for Miss Gingles were expected to produce a number of medical men who have examined the girl and will go on the witness stand and refute allegations made yesterday by the Canadian witnesses. The state, on the other hand, it was announced, was prepared to call a woman whose identity is a mystery to refute testimony of Miss Gingles should the young lacemaker be re called to the stand. J. P. Miller testified that it rained on the night of January 4. which is the night Miss Gingles says she was abused in the Wellington hotel. This contradicts testimony given for the state by Prof. Henry J. Cox. head of the local weather bureau. Mr. Miller said he sometimes entertained a par ty of friends at his home and recalled distinctly that it ra'ned while they smoked on the porch. S. F. Jenkins and wife who attend ed the party and Mrs. W. H. Peck, another guest, gave similar testi mony. MINERS STRIKE. More Than 1 1.000 Go out in the Pitts ourg District. Pittsburg. Pa., July 15.

He Tells Assessors to Double His Taxes This Year. ASKED THE CHANGE. He Did Not Remember What It Was Last Year. He Beckoned That Would Fix It About Bight. Chicago, July 15. James A. Pat ten, who is said by fellow members of the board of trade to have made a profit of $300,000 within 24 hours. yesterday found himself on top of the list of Evanston taxpayers, and his option on this distinction he purposes not to close out for some time. Mr. Patten was assessed this year on $500,000 of personal property, which is twice the amount levied last year. Mr. Patten himself asked the change. "How much personal property ought I to assess you on this year, Mr. Pat ten?" asked Mr. Milne, Evanston's assessor. "How much was it last year?" said Mr. Patten. "Something like $250,000," respond ed the assessor. "Never mind the figure," Mr. Pat ten interrupted. "Whatever it was then. Just double it now. Reckon that'll fix it about right." Fresh Spurt Upward. Chicago, July 15. Wheat for July delivery made a fresh spurt upward on the board of trade today when the price touched $1.29, compared with $1.261.26, the closing figures of the previous day. The new high rec ord mark for the season was establish ed on initial trades, opening quotations ranging from $1.27 to $1.29. The more distant deliveries, however, were inclined to be weak. The immediate cause cf the buying flurry, which resulted in the sensational advance, was rainfall in Kansas and Missouri, where tho new crop of wheat is now being harvested or is awaiting the visit of the thresher, and dispatch es from other harvesting and wheat shipping sections of the country tell ing of the damage to the new crop by excessive rains. Numerous reports were received from points in Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, which claimed that the whtat already harvested is sprouting in the shocks owing to the unfavorable weather. A large "sleeping" short interest has existed for some time in the July option ,and the action of the market Indicated that many of these traders had awakened to the serious aspect of the situation. Weather Favors Patten. Leading warehouse men and pro fessional traders are said to be the principal shorts. The elevator men have bought wheat "to arrive" from dealers in Kansas, Oklahoma and other winter wheat states and "hedged" against their country pur chases by selling July in this market. Since that time wet weather has in terfered with threshing operations and thus prevented quick delivery of the new crop in Chicago and the southwestern markets. There is practically no wheat suit able for delivery on contracts in this city at the present time, and what lit tle there is belongs to the Patten in terests.' The leader of this clique suc ceeded in merchandising the three mil lion bushels of wheat delivered to him during the closing days of the May corner, and he now demands the wheat sold to him for this month's delivery. When shorts went to him early with offers of settlement it is claimed they were told to buy the grain in the pit. The attempt to carry out this line ot action was the cause of the bulge. Patten predicted several weeks agi that July would be an "old crop month." His prediction would not have proven true if the weather had re mained clear, but the rains of the past two weeks have so delayed the move ment that the prospect now is for lit tle new wheat at the markets this month. As a result of the sharp advance in wheat prices flour was marked up ten to twenty cents 'or the best descrip tions of old wheat variety while new whes.t flour was advanced ten cents per barrel. The strength of the July delivery today was of short duration. Many of the smaller holders began to take profits early in the day, resulting in a gradual decline. Before the selling had been exhausted the price had dropped to $1.22,4. At tho close of trading the price for July was $1.23 Vs. BEATS HIS OWN RECORD Glenn Curtis Hies Nine Miles in 15 Minutes. New York, July 15. Glenn H. Curtis bettered his own record again today when he flew his aeroplane at Mlneola, L. I., nine miles in fifteen minutes. Curtis made two flights be tween 5 and 6 o'clock this morning. The first was stopped after two miles by the fog. It was the second that beat his per formance of yesterday, when he trav eled five miles in about seven minutes, and was compelled to descend by the loosening of two bolts in the pro peller. NORTON WON'T MOVE. Henry Baylies. New Vnder Sheriff, Will Oct-upy Jail Residence. Sheriff J. D. Norton today blasted the hopes of several aspirants who were circulating petitions to get the job of under sheriff, by taking the matter in his own hands and appoint ing Henry Bayliss, county jailer, as under sheriff. There were several reasons for CoL Norton's action, the principal one being that Henry Bay liss is competent. Another is that Sheriff Norton has no intention of moving his family into the county jail residence. He has decided to divide the work of the sheriff's office by having the under sheriff look after the jail and occupy the jail resi dence, feed the prisoners and pur chase the supplies, with one deputy, Lon Sauls. The sheriff himself, with one deputy, will attend to the other end of the business, and the under sheriff and the jail deputy will of course be ready to make arrests or do any other official business at any time. Either Henry Monroe or Charles Lytle, both colored, will be chosen as the other deputy. Ward and Wilkerson will not be deputies, and if Wilkerson has any hand in the official business, it will be as a detective hired for the purpose by Col. Norton. ENDS GAY CAREER. Toting Cuban Kills Himself When Money Gives Out. New York, July 15. Suicide today ended the gav career of a wealthy young Cuban, Juan Balsinde, who shot himself in his apartments at 211 .fc-ast Fourteenth street. Nearly 200 seat checks from theaters, some memoranda and a letter indicated that he had been infatuated with an actress and had followed her from place to place in Cuba and this country. He killed him self, it is believed because his money had given out and his love affair had lost its interest. Balsinde, who was 26 years of age, had been attending a school at Pough keepsie. He returned to this country from Cuba several months ago, follow ing the company in which the actress was playing. A letter, dated July Z. found in ms room was addressed "Dear Louisa." The letter said in part: "I am going away soon. I have had enough trouble with my people already. I am going back to Cuba to my mother who will forgive me for all my foolish acts. "I will be the same aristocratic young gentleman I was when I left Havana a year ago with the foolish purpose to follow an actress girl. Remember I said I came here to New York to see a friend and you have tried to stop rr.y friendship toward that one. You tell me she does not love me, but is only after my money. That is not so for she is a good girl and works. It is you that has been after my money. I love her and will see her when I come back. Good by. Signed) "JUAN." The clerk at the Hotel America told the police that Balsinde's father was a member of the firm of Balsinde Bros., owners of extenfive sugar plantations. Among the memoranda in the youth's room were notes showing that his ex penses from June 19 to July 4, had been $448. A letter apparently writ ten bv his mother, said that no more money would be sent him unless he returned to his school at Poughkeepie. The polica said they had learned that about a week ago Balsinde cabled to lis parents for money, but none had been forthcoming. No money was found among his effects. TAFT AND DIAZ. Plans for Meeting of the Presidents Are Going Forward. Washington. July 15. A meeting between President Taft and Presi dent Diaz of Mexico now being partly assured, the president and his cabinet are giving some attention to arrange ments for carrying out such an un usual and notable event. President Taft has never met his executive neighbor but long has cherished the hope of so doing. Exchanges are in progress between the two executives, Mr. Taft It was said today, having taken the Initiative in expressing a wish that the heads of the two republics of North America might come together. Various de tails of the meeting expected to take place at El Paso about the middle of October remain to De carriea out. Suggestions have been made that the two executives clasp hands under a canopy erected midway of the In ternational bridge at El Paso or that they in turn visit either shore and ex tend their well wishes at those places. RIVER FIVE MILES WIDE The Missouri Floods S5.000 Acres of Farm Land Near St. Charles. St. Louis. July 15. The Mississippi river during the night rose so that the gauge today read 35.3 feet. The weather bureau predicts a crest or hj.b reet to night. Manufacturing concerns across the river in Illinois are moving their stocks to higher ground fearing a storm will wash the waves over the levees which the citizens are counting on to protect them. Citizens ,of Cahokia. 111., worked last night strengthening the levees which will stand but a slight rise. Five thou sand acres of farm land were covered v. ith water early today by the Missouri, Kansas Texas embankment breaking at Cul-De-Sae, five miles north of bt. Charles, Mo. The Missouri river at St. Charles is five miles wide. Reports to the weather bureau show the Missouri river is falling at Her mann and Jefferson City. LAND RUSH IS ON. Applications for Registration Are Pouring Inton Coeur D'Alene. Spokane, Wash., July 13. From 20.000 to 30.000 red, white and blue envelopes are being dropped In the postoffices at Spokane, Coeur D'Alene, Missoula and Kalisplel today, address ed to "James W. Wilson, Coeur D'Alene, Idaho." Each blue envelope holds the ap plication of some man or woman who wants a farm in the Spokane Indian reservation the red and white en velopes call for land in the Coeur D'Alene or Flathead reserves. Every week day until August 5 this rush will continue. At midnight about thirty early en thusiasts, hoping to coax luck by be ing the very first, hurried to take the oath before the notaries and started the applications on their way. But the real rush began early this morn ing: and all day the crowds have kept coming rapidly. By night it is esti mated 7,000 will have registered in Spokane alone. Coeur D'Alene reports that 600 ap plicants registered there up to 1 o'clock, this morning filGIITJF RIOT. Thirty Persons Shot or Beaten at 3IcKees Bocks During Disorder Growing Out of Steel Workers' Strike. THOOPS CALLED OUT. They Subdue the Mob by Use of Heary Clubs. Crowd Boconies Demoralized and Buns Away. Pittsburg. Pa., July 15. The situa tion at the Pressed Steel Car company at McKee's Rocks, adjacent to this city, where 3,500 men are on strike. is quiet today, following a night of dis order in which thirty persons were shot or beaten. A detachment of the Pennsylvania state constabulary ar rived earlv todav and mn fter-rri the rioting stopped. wnen the police arrived they sta tioned their horses inside the uteri plant and then took up position out side. A moment later a brick struck one of the troops. Instantly the mill gate was thrown open, several troopers vaulted into tho saddle and dashed into a crowd of strikers and sympa- wnzers. As they galloped through the crowd, the state police struck right and left with heavy riot clubs. The crowd be came demoralized under the terrific assault and fled in all directions. That incident occurred at daybreak. Since that time the strikers have satis fied themsflves by congregating at the gates of the mill. STUIKK IS WTDKSPRKAD. Extends From Pennsylvania in Ohio and Went Virginia. Pittsburg. Pa., July 15. Between 25,000 and 30.000 workmen coal miners, tin and sheet plate workers and members of the various steel crafts are on strike today through out western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia. A majority of the idle men are in the Pittsburg district. Excepting the strike at tho Pressed Steel Car company works at McKees Rock, a borough. whore, rioting occurred last night and early today, resulting In the shooting and beating of 30 persons, the strikes are orderly. The situation today In the Pitts burg district Is unusual, treading as It does on the heels of an apparent wave of prosperity. Resumption have been ordered In all trades, and men who have been without work for many months are being afforded em ployment. In several instances the men claim their employers are offering them too low wages for thetr work. The officials assert condition do not war rant higher pay at this time. Other grievances Include the alleged violation of the eight hour work day and regulation of or ganized labor.

Pueblo at Omaha Eddie Zinram an old Western League favorite, is making good as manager of the Erie, Pa., team which he has been tunning since his release from the Den ver team. Zinram left Denver for his home in Erie and within three hours after he had landed in the peaceful lit tle Pennsylvania village he was waited upon by the owners of the club and given the management. The Des Moines Tribune says that Kahl allowed a couple of hits to go safe which He could have easily fielded had it not been for his bad knee which is still bothering him.' Pat Folbre is on the market. The youngster started out great with the Little Rock team this season, but ma laria struck him and he was sold to San Antonio, but refused to report. He is now in Little Rock, the sale having been countermanded. Walter Queisser. who was with the Memphis club in the Southern League has been sold to the San Antonio club in the Texas League. Queisser was at cne time rated as, the best pitcher in the Western Association. According to the Sioux City -Journal Harry Hatch, the Pueblo pitcher, has been released. The -Journal says Hatch wanted to cast his fortunes with the Champs but that he-and Ducky couldn't get together on terms. Sioux City Journal: That Herman Long, who years ago played in the Western League and who, as a mem ber of the famous teams managed by Frank Seloe was regarded as the ereatest shortstop in the game, is s'.owly succumbing lo the inroads of the great white plague, is the state ment of members of the Denver ball club, who are circulating a subscrip tion paper to raise funds for his sup port -in his last days.

Members of the Sioux City team yesterday made contributions to the fund. Lovers of the game who desire to help In the cause can do so by leaving whatever they desire to give with any player on the Denver team. Denver Post: If there is one man in the Denver baseball world that deserves a boost it is Charlie Jones of the Griz zlies. True, they lost to Sioux City yesterday, but at the same time he has got the boys giving the club all the best there is in them. It's the kind of ball that wins, and he is the first manager in five or six years that has got the work out of the team. From row on we expect the Denver team to do even better than It has of late. Whether the team comes In first or fifth, one fact can't be denied, and that Is they are playing the best ball they know how and if the other teams finish ahead of them in the race it will be because they were better ball play ers and not because they played harder ball than the Denver aggregation. When Jones took hold of this team he had all sorts of handicaps to overcome. He seem3 to have successfully mastered the situation and from now on we may expect the team to beeome a favorite with. the fans., and if Jones don't win the pennant this season it is because good hard work and plenty of hustling fails to bear fruit. It is not likely that Young Parson Farthing will be farmed out since he made such a good showing for the Lynx Monday. j Holland has announced the sale of Ad Brennan to the Cincinnati Nation al league club for $3,500. He was purchased by Jack McCarthy, the Reds' scout, who Is visiting at Omaha, Sioux City Tribune: Just as soon as they hit the road, the Denverites blow up. As for Topeka, which last time was the best road team on the circuit, prior to the recent rip of the Champs, gives evidence of a ten dency to explode. The pace is pret ty st in, Kansans. The Lincoln News denies that Pritchett haa been allowed to leave the Pueblo team and says that the little Hoosier will remain with the team as long as he likes. Jimmy Sullivan has a suit against Guy Green, the former owner of the Lynx. Sullivan says Green promised him his railroad fare from Frisco to Lincoln this spring, and Green denies the allegations. Consequently it is up to the courts, Manager Fox' of the Lincoln team is making a lot of poor throws in the present series on the Lincoln grounds. rne jews says it is due to a sore arm. The sore arm was probably the result of walking the floor nights with the new Lincoln second sacker in his arms. Mike Jacobs, the. young third sack er, who refused to report to Cooley at the beginning of the season has been sold to the Altoona club In the in-Biate league. jacoos carried a long string of recommendations but refused to venture out to the wild and woolly .west. Des Moines News: When the fans looked over Cooley's bunch Sunday afternoon at the East Side park, there was a look of expectancy on their faces. Something was missing. No one could tell what it was un til one of the standbys yelled, "Where is Doc Andrews?" and Im mediately they all understood. The old .familiar "Yee-aw" of the Chicago horse doctor with his world of pepper was missing at the third station. "We certainly do miss him." said Cooley in the press box during the game, "but I am glad to see him making good at Oklahoma City, where he is managing a team. In two weeks' time he led his team from seventh to second place in the league standing. "He won't need to look for a berth long next season if I am managing a team." concluded Cooley.

Wellington at Hutchinson. Lyons at Great Bend. Strong City at Newton.. McPherson at Arkansas City. CENTRAL KANSAS LEAGUE. Minneapolis at Junction City. Beloit at Abilene. Salina at Manhattan. Ellsworth at Clay Center. Hutchinson. Salina's third baseman, is said to be the best run getter in the Central Kansas league. His title, however, is disrmteri hv mnnv of the Central Kansas worthies. Only six men on the Salina team are hitting above the .200 mark. They were all hitting over .300 a few days ago. Salina Journal: Manhattan has a team that should not be in the cellar. And it will not be there very long, if they keep on playing ball as they did here Saturday. The terrible swatting bunch of Salinaites got one hit in the entire game, but won out. The Man hattan bunch felt rather blue Satur day night and they can not be blamed They play good ball, but luck is against them. It Is reported that "Dad" White of Smith Center has tied up with the juannattan team. Dad is a good player. Quigley is the poorest fielder on the Salina team according to the Salina journal averages. He Is fielding .868 Lee Gramley, the manager of the Clay Center team, is laid up with rheumatism but is playing just the same, simply because he hasn't a man to take nis place. Jepson, the crack left hander of the Junction City team, is out of the game on account of a light touch of malaria. Earl Bryant, who is scouting: In Kansas City, is on the trail of on Van Tappen, who la said to be a swell out fielder. Fisher, the big southpaw of the Wellington team, pitched a great game a few days ago when he let the Newton team down with one lone hit. Miller, the Newton right fielder, was the lucky swatter. The Arkansas City Traveler aays that Cooley did the right thing in re calling Harris. That ought to settle all disputes as to the wisdom of Mr Cooley. Umpire Cleary Is said to have recom mended Stanley of Hutchinson. Hass ler of Lyons and Kellar of Arkansas City as pitchers who are of major league caliber, some or tnem might look good in a Topeka uniform. Gill Plttman of the Newton team is said to have one of the best throwin arms in the Kansas State. The New ton Kansan-Republican says that Sec ond Baseman Stillwell of the Rail roaders has it on any other second sacker in the league. Wonder what our old friend Cecil Bankhead thinks of this.

It Is current ly, rumored in Santa Fe circles that contracts have been made for re-laying the Southern Kansas line from Ottawa to Cherryvale with ninety-pound steel rails, the work to begin at once. This grade of rails mentioned is the same as that recently laid on the main line and is intended for the heaviest traffic that goes over western roads. Al though the rumors of the improvement are not confirmed here, they come to ""iina tnrougn sources of such re liability as to give them strong credi bility. The Santa Fe is carrying on im provement campaigns of immense size for the equipment of its lines to meet the demands of many years to come and the reported change on the South ern Kansas is regarded as part of the general campaign In the west which began with the double tracking of the system from Chicago. It appears that there could be but one occasion for work of this magni tude on the Southern Kansas, and thai wouia De tne carrying out of the plan often discussed for sending the Cali i fornia traffic south over the Southern Kansas and west over the Panhandle me coast by way of the Belen cut V off. KATY SPEXMXG MOSEY. One Million Will Go for Improve ments on Track. Parsons, Kan.. July 15. While it has been mentioned that the Katy Is building a cut-off between Fallis and Luther, Okla., little has been said of the great benefit to be derived there from, nor the speed at which the work is going ahead, says the Denison Herald. The work is being done by the "W'alsh-Kahl Construction company, one of the biggest firms of railroad contractors in the country, with a force of over 700 men, working day and night, the night w"ork being done under the illumination of elec tric headlights. The company has seven engines and six steam shovels already at work on the job, and it is the intention of the construction company to have the cut-off finished by the end of September. The line between Fallis and Luther at pres ent runs along the low land near the river, but. the cut-off runs over the hills, a distance of twelve miles, and above the danger line. The Katy has appropriated more than a million dollars for improve ment of the track and other better ment in Oklahoma, and when this has been done, she will have one of the finest roadbeds In the new state, and with the withdrawal of the work trains, she can, undoubtedly, make an improvement on the already good record in freight traffic, while with the installation of the new pas senger trains in a few months, the Katy will be well equipped for all kinds of traffic.

He Reaches San Francisco Days Behind His Schedule. Five San Francisco, July 13. Vigorous as a man of half his 70 years and striding out like a soldier on parade despite the forty miles he tramped during the day, Edward Payson Weston, set foot in San Francisco at 10:50 o'clock last night with his 4.000 mile journey from Xew York to San Francisco completed. The actual distance covered was 3.925 miles by mile posts. The time consumed on the journey was 105, 5 hours and 41 minutes. Starting on March 15. his 70th birthday, from New York, Weston has maintained a gait of nearly forty miles a day all the way across the continent, pausing for rest only on Sunday.

Made by Postum Cereal Co., Lid., Battle Creek, Mich. DOINGS OUT WEST Fossibilities of Overland Mail Service Demonstrated. Star Route Drivers Cover 135 Miles in 11 Uours. SYRACUSE THE HUB. Automobiles Have Taken the Place of the Stage Coach. Southwestern Counties Promise a Bumper Broom Corn Yield. Syracuse, Kan., July 15. Tuesday evening the 13th witnessed the suc cessful completion of two trial trips with Uncle- Sam's mail which may mean much to be people of southwest Kansas and' southeast Colorado in the way of better mail service. Each successive trip, a total length of 135 miles was made between the hours of 7 o'clock in the morning and 6 in the afternoon a. total of eleven hours. On, each trip, eight postoffices, in cluding two county seats were served with mall, an average stop of fifteen minutes to each postoffice. A stop of forty minutes was made for dinner. Besides these forty short stops were made at free delivery boxes dis tributing and receiving mail for more than one hundred and fifty ranches and claim holders. Mail Carrier Now Uses an Automobile These round trips heretofore re quiring an outlay of three hacks a stock of eleven teams of horses and three drivers on the road all day, were made possible (with an ad ditional twenty-two iniics) in one day with one driver by the use of the new international high-wheeled auto mobile and the excellent pike road through the sand hills south of Syracuse. The route travelled passes through south and west Hamilton, through Stanton and Morton counties. Kansas and Baca county Colo., by way of Johnson City. Kan., Richfield, Kan., and Konantz, Colo. Broom Corn and Forage Crops Fine. Although on account of the dry spring weather wheat seen along the route will not make more than fifteen bushels per acre, corn, broom corn and maize are making great growth, and with the late rains are promising bumper crops. Recent wells drilled near the state line in Stanton and Morton counties and near Monon, Colo., promise the development of an artesian area that will rival the famous Meade county district. People of Syracuse and southwest counties will not be slow to see the advantage of the larger ter ritory served and time saved by tne automobile stage line, and will de mand of Uncle Sam a service equivalent to the one maintained on last Monday and Tuesday, as it will be at least three years before the prospective railroads will reach the rich territory southwest of and physically tributary to Syracuse. FOUND MANY BOGUS COINS. Counterfeit Money Believed to Have Been Made In Cherryvale. Cherryvale. Kan., July 15. There are more developments in the coun terfeit case. It has been learned that some time last fall a quantity of counterfeit quarters, half dollars and dollars, amounting to about $50 had been found by local parties in the basement of the Mahan building. They were cleaning out the basement for the skating rink and to avoid no toriety, it is said, threw the spurious coins into a corner with some rub bish and said nothing about them. However, after the discovery in the attic of the building today by Lee Hitchcock. Marshal Watson was told of the other find and made an inves tigation. He found the "queer" mon ey and also more moulds, and it is quite evident that there has in times past been considerable crooked work done in the basement. WAS SAVED BY NEWSPAPERS. Clever Expedient of Ottawa Woman Kept Flood From Her Home. Ottawa, Kan.. July 15. Mrs. S. G. Norris demonstrated anew last week that the press is a potent saving force in time of trouble. When the water rose and swirled around her home Mrs. Norris was compelled to leave the 5. indi,,, Corn. s. t'UimiUd premises. Knowing that the flood would rise above the level of her floor, Mrs. Norris in closing the doors made them tight with newspapers. Last week she left the house in boat and this week returned and found her floors were entirely dry. The house is built of stone with white pine floors. As the water reached the floors from beneath the boards swelled, closing all crevices, while the news paper chinking about the doors served the same purpose. Thus a new field of usefulness was found for the daily press. THE COYOTE SOUGHT REVENGE. Story Vouched for by W. E. Black burn of Anthony Republican. Anthony, Kan., July 15. Editor Blackburn of the Republican is re sponsible for the following: That a coyote will not attack a hu man being is an idea so fixed in the minds of the -western people that when a fake story was put on the wires re cently about their killing a Doy in Kingman county it was greeted with a laugh by the wise ones -who knew coy otes. But they will attack human beings, grown men at that, and ac companied by a dog, when actuated ov a spirit or revenge. And 11 a coyote knows enough to try to avenge an injury, might it not be argued -that it could also remember and requite a favor, say, a fat chicken left out for it on a winter nlgnt f Art Evans located a coyote den in an old straw stack on the Evans farm northwest of Anthony, recently and after trying to fork the old' straw out of. the way and get tne pups, iouna it Impossible to do so, so set fire to the loose, dry material to destroy tnem. In the work he was -helped by- Bert Strauser, and it is probable the moth er coyote watched the incineration from some convenient place. The next day tracks of the mother coyote were found in the ground around the ash heap and through it; a little forcing over of the ashes discov ered the roasted coyote pups, but not in such shape as to realize a dollar a scalp for them. The next day Strauser was driving along the road on the way to some work and Madam Coyote was met In the road. She evidently remembered him and waited. When the team came up to her she held her ground and he jumped off the wagon with a whip to try and knock ner in tne head; she leaped at his throat with a snarl but fell short, catching the left sleeve of his shirt with her teeth and tearinsr it as she fell back. Before she could jump again a shepherd dog that was with Strauser nipped tne coyote in the flank and she ran to some nearby trees. Guns were secured and a thor ough search was made for the mother who had tried to avenge the burning of her whelps, but she could not be found. RAINS THREATEN APPLE CROP. Leavenworth Grower Estimates Crop at 25 Per Cent. Leavenworth. Kan... July 15. Fran cis fioble. an apple grower, says if the orchards of the state yield 25 per cent of a crop the rains must stop ana everything from now on be favorable. He says the scab has made vast in roads into the crop already and no amount of spraying would have pre vented it. "We have had so much rain this spring," exclaimed Mr. Goble, "that spraying the trees was useless opera tion. We have never been bothered with the scab until last year and no one thought we would be bothered this year. The presence of the scab last year no doubt is responsible in a de gree for the condition of the fruit now but the early and continued rains are more the cause than anything else. "The Missouri Pippins and the Ben Davis varieties will produce between 2 3 and 25 per cent of a crop while the Jonathans will yield a trifle more; but the scab is affecting the crop badly. When we had a few days of bright weather and it stayed dry for a few davs the scab seemed to disappear but with the return of wet, damp rainy weather the scab began its work again. "Continuous and judicious pruning will have a tendency to overcome the fungus growth. The air. then has a better chance to dry out the boughs and the freedom to sway DacK ana forth without striking ana lnienenng with the fruit will help." TO A'OTE ON LIGHT BONDS. Mavor of Carbondale Issues Call for Election August 23. Carbondale, Kan., July 15. Mayor J. M. Patterson has issued a call for a special election to vote $8,000 bonds for an electric light plant. The elec tion is to be held August 23. The city council passed an ordinance Tuesday night authorizing the election. The bonds are to bear not more than 6 per cent an be payable in not less than ten nor more than twenty years. The Commercial club started the electric light project several weeks ago and brought influences to bear on the council to induce it to call a bond election. It is believed that if the bonds are voted it will be by only a small majority. LOCKJAW CAUSED DEATH. July Fourth Small Boy Toy Pistol Parents Mourning. Iola. Kan., July 15.

Beginning Fri day, the sixteenth day of the present montn, the new wage scale begins In the smelters of this district, In accord ance with the agreement made some time ago between the smelter operators and the workmen. It was agreed at the time the strike was settled that the old wage scale should be restored the latter half of this month for the future, it tne men would return to work. The raise asked and granted was ten per cent, which is a restoration of the wages paid before the panic of 1907. At that time the operators stated their case to the men and the men. appre ciating the crisis, accepted the cut cheerfully. While the spelter market has not yet attained the point the oper ators would like to see. being now quoted at $5.25 in St. Louis, they will increase tne pay. It Is hoped that be fore fall the price of spelter will have climbed high enough to bring about a full time operation of the plants in this country. BIG DAMAGE SUIT IS FILED.

A daughter of Osborne was stenographer for Hamble, who told her father that the lawyer had caused her ruin. On this belief Os borne secured a shotgun and killed Hamble. Osborne was tried for mur der and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. He served fifteen years without ever breaking the rules. He worked at the various state shops until his health failed and was then placed in the tubercular tent in the prison yard. osDorne s wife and dauehter both died while he was confined in the penitentiary. Frank Osborne, a son. is to take care of his father. FARMER KILLED HIMSELF. Ill Health and Death In Family Blamed for Rash Act. Chanute, Kan., July 15. Marion Beale, a farmer, 58 years old, killed himself at his home, 7 miles south east. He placed the muzzle of a rifle to his forehead, pulled the trigger and died instantly. No reason is known except that he had been sick and fear ed an attack of stomach trouble from which he had suffered much many years ago. He left a note telling how he wanted his property, which is considerable, divided. His wife has been dead 20 years and a daughter, who kept house for him, died a year ago. He and his son, Charles, lived together. Charles found the body when he came down stairs to get breakfast. FARMERS BOUGHT THE BONDS. Jewell County larmers Take Care of City Issue of $25,000. Jewell City. Kan.. July 15. Jewell City voted and Issued $25,000 worth of bonds a short time ago and brought them before the state school fund com missioners. The bonds bore but four per cent interest and because of the low rate the commission refused to pur chase them. The bonds were taken track to Jewel City and within a short time $25,000 had been subscribed to take up the bonds all by home people. Of this amount 20,500 was subscribed by farmers.

Advnnce payment is reanested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. If the Dcs Moines and Topeka teams do not stop using up so many runs in each game there may not be enough of these things left for the Western league to finish out the sea son with. The Kansas City Star thinks that "Tom" McXeal and "Dan" Anthony, who are accusing one another of be ing chronic officeholders, "ought not to fall out over a matter in which they may both be right." The New York authorities have decided that Elsie Sigel was given poison before she was strangled. It would be more to the point if they would discover the whereabouts of Leon Ling, her murderer. "Hereafter," says the Washington, D. C. Herald, "party conventions should adopt for platform purposes the motto the railroads invariably attach to the time table ads: 'Sub ject to change without notice.' The Wrisht brothers must be credited with having an unusual amount of sense. They'don't appear to be indulging in any thoughts of taking a little spin with, their aero plane in the direction of the North Pole. One of the perturbing questions of the day in Washington Is as to whether the tariff bill in Its final form will be known as the "Aldrich bill" or the "Payne bill." If it could only be called the latter with the Payne spelled "Pain" It would be most appropriately named. It's a good thing that Mr. Roose velt is in Africa these days, else that story about a half hundred canary birds singing at arecentchurch service in Cincinnati in perfect unison and fol lowing the choirmaster's baton with amazing precision would like be branded as a "nature fake." and then there would be trouble. James J. Hill is in an optimistic mood these days. This is because the crop yields are going to be good and there is no menace ahead to' the business world. But really, though, "Uncle Yim" always ought to be hi that frame of mind. There is no rea son for a man with a bank roll of the ,size of his to be otherwise. As James M. Nation, the state auditor points out, there are plenty of other needs for a special session of the legislature besides the possible necessity of straightening out the tangle in the banking world. The last legislature made many glaring errors in the framing of laws which should be corrected in order that various of the state's activities can be conducted in proper fashion. Reports come from Washington that the house conferees are to make trong fights for reductions in various important tariff schedules as they have been fixed up by the sen ate. Maybe so. But it is safe to as sume that they will be losing ones. For the history of tariff legislation during the past dozen and more years points out that the senate generally has its way in all tariff particulars. Still, there's nothing like hoping for the best Evidently a good deal of the dis satisfaction which is being expressed in newspapers over the state concern ing the local slogan "Topeka Kan. Topeka Will." and the state slogan which Topekans are going to use with their own: "And Kansas Is a Great State," is due to jealousy be cause they are so expressively excel lent and also because no help from the outside was asked for the fram ing of them. W"alt Mason recently concluded a sever diatribe in the Emporia Gazette against these slogans with the suggestion tViat the poets should be consulted whenever the making of a slogen is undertaken. William B. Hayward, secretary of the Republican, national committee, seems to be something more than a prominent politician. In fact, he is a moat distinguished gentleman. He had the first automobile in the state of Nebraska and he played the first game of golf In that state outside of Omaha. Such great honors as these would appear to be enough for one ordinary man. but not so with Mr. Hayward. He would gladly pay $500 for the privilege of taking a ride on the Wright brothers' aeroplane. Isn't it about time that Nebraska gave a state wide reception in honor of Mr. Hayward? Why, he pretty near eclipses Mr. Bryan. ASKING THE IMPOSSIBLE. Mr. Bryan's suggestion to President Taft that he urge upon congress the adoption of an amendment to the con- (itution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote s a good one in one respect, but an unreasonable one in another. He thinks the time is most pertinent for the prssing of such a constitutional amendment in view of the fact that congress has acted favorably on the proposal to amend the constitution so that the federal government may levy a direct tax on incomes. lnis must needs be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states. Mr. Bryan thinks, therefore, that it would be op portune to have an amendment to the constitution providing for the direct election of senators by the voters sub mitted to the state legislatures at the same time. Such a procedure would be excellent f it could bo brought about. But the t.ureasonableness of Mr. 'Bryan's sug gestion lies in the fact that there is not the slightest ghost of a chance that the senatorial amendment could be forced through congress as it is now constituted. And Mr. Taft would only be placing himself in something of a hole, if he should follow Mr. Bryan's suggestion and agitate the adoption of such an amendment. Mr. Taft has said that he personally is inclined to favor the direct election of United States enators. What sort of a show, though has such an amendment to receive the favorable consideration of the senate while that body is under the domina tion of Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Is land and his coterie of "me toos?" After the exhibition that Mr. Aldrich and his followers have given during the consideration of the tariff bill in mis itpresentiig the voters of this land, it should be apparent to every one that one of the crying necessities of the t;mes is the smashing to smithereens of this Aklrich clique. This could be brought about in no tetter or surer or quicker way than by- the adoption of a constitutional amendment for the election of United States senators by the direct votes of the people, if it were possible to adopt It. As Mr. Bryan says, if Mr. Taft could secure the adoption of such an amend ment to the federal constitution as a sort of a corollary to the amendment making possible a direct income tax, his administration would be a memor able oue. But Mr. Bryan is asking the impossible of Mr. Taft in this re- tpect Js he ought to know, if he does not. The time is far from being ripe for the pressing of the senatorial amendment in congress. And it proba bly never will be until more of the states in the Union have followed the plan of. Kansas and other states by devlsing primary systems for the nom ination of United States senatorial can didates by the votes of the people and so changing the complexion of senate that it will be amenable to the desires of the people. It will be a long time before the United States senate is so constituted that it will agree to an amendment to the constitution for the election of United States senators but that day should be hastened in every possible way. PASSENGER RATES. Although the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company carried 654.000 more passengers under a year's operation of two-cent fare rates in various states than it did during the preceding year when three-cent fares prevailed, it is able to present figures to show that its revenue from passen ger traffic was less by $297,000 dur ing the two-cent fare period. This, however, should not be con sidered as an argument against the equity of two-cent fares. The point is not as to whether or not the two-cent rate brings in as much money in the aggregate to the railroads as did the three-cent rate. It revolves around the question as to whether or not a two-cent rate is reasonably remunera tive to the railroads. Is it sufficient to pay the expenses of conducting the passenger service and giving the com pany a fair profit on that service? .Just because a railroad company takes in less money under the two cent rate than it. did under a three cent, rate, that, of itself, is no sufficient reason for the abolishment of the lesser rate. It might merely show that the higher rate was altogether too extortionate and one which should not be permitted to prevail. Of course, the railroads claim that a two-cent rate is not properly re- fmuneratlve for other reasons besides the one that it does not bring them in as much money as did the old rates. But that has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of everyone, even though there has been a decision favorable to the railroads on this point in the federal courts in Missouri. The railroads are voluntarily engaged at this season of the year in hauling all the people they can attract to their cars from one end of the United States to the other on rates that are con siderably less than two cents a mile. They may be doing this for the pur poses of advertising their lines or they may be philanthropically inclined to the extent of making it easy for the vacation takers to travel around their land and see the sights. But neither of these reasons sets very well. If the railroads did not make money out of their tremendous summer excursion business at rates that are less than two vents a mile, it is not reasonable to believe that they would keep them in force. Not long ago the interstate commerce commission decided that railroads could, no longer give each other preferential rates for hauling each other's freight. They must charge each other the same freight rates that they charge the public. If they continued to indulge in prefer ential rates with each other the com merce commissioners intimated that they would consider these rates to be reasonable ones and would order them put in force for the benefit of the pub lie. Similar conclusions might be reached in the instance of passenger rates. JOURNAL ENTRIES Excuses are unsatisfactory things even at their best. A man generally needs something more than sureness he is right before he can go ahead. Some people are unfortunate in hav ing places for everything but not the tnings to put in tnem. Tramps hae the advantage over ordinary travelers these days because they can catch a refrigerator car occa sionally. When the girls parade along in their summer furbelows each and every one of them is mighty good looking a: a distance. J A YHA WKER JOTS The Garden City Telegram has pe culiar ideas occasionally. It recently remarked that Dodge City had gone wrong because it decided for the municipal ownership of its water plant. Telling about the Fourth of July speech of J. N. Dolley, the bank com missioner, before the inmates of the state insane asylum, the Ottawa Her ald says that "when he touched with splendid eloquence on some of tha features of the bank guaranty law the audience wept and received him as a brother." "I am inclined to believe that kick ers live longer than other people, and it is from purely sanitary reasons," declared Bill Sincaller the other day. "It is this way. They kick so much that they get the necessary exerciso for long life. This is one time when healthful exercise is not a blessing." Vinland Vine. The daily papers have plenty of "scare head" articles for their sheets thes8 days. They print accounts of a new murder in one or two columns, they bury the victim of a murder of the preceding day in another and give the details of a nice juicy divorce suit in the remaining columns on the front page. The inside pages are giv en over to less important matters. Personally we would rather the base ball scores and a little political gossip on the front pages and the scandal in a less conspicuous place. Harper Sentinel. Now that the Chanute Tribune and Sun have consolidated, a most in teresting question arises as to what the advertising rate should be in tha new paper. The publishers think it should be based on the combined cir culation of the two papers, as claimed by each, prior to the consolidation. The Chanute merchants think that the present circulation should ba determined by adding together what each conceded the other to have. Needless to say that there 13 a wide difference in the results reached by the two plans of computation. Ot tawa Republic. Here is a little story told by the Sabetha correspondent of the Seneca Tribune: My father confided in ma that, one evening years ago, as he sat reading on the front porch of the old hotel, three little girls came out and sat on the steps. Listening, he heard one say: "That's a fine old man; ho Is to be my father-in-law." "Don't be so sure of that. I have my eye on him. too," said the little miss in the middle. The third glanced hastily around, caught his eye and smiled. oh. so sweetly. fc-ne never satd a word. Curious to know the third we insisted on her name. As he smiled meaningly my father said: "She is your wife." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A jre is no disgrace, if It doesn't bring bitterness with it. How soon patience with the faults of those we dislike edises to be a virtue! Our idea of a meek, low-spirited woman is one who will take kindly the scoldings of her husband's kin. Many a man advertises a poor arti cle of his own manufacture as "the old reliable," or "the only genuine." "If I finally go to the bad place," said a man recently, "it will be be cause of the 'tasting' I do at grocery stores." We have an idea that the double- deck crowns, kept under a special glass case in heaven, are intended for those men who are such good hus bands they please the neighbors. "I was worrying over crops this morning," said Church White, "when it suddenly occurred to me that I had been doing the same thing forty years, although I never owned an acre in my life. An Atchison man says: "As a young man, I was familiar with the doctrines of orthodoxy, my father be ing a Methodist preacher. Lately I talked with a noted Methodist preach er, and his liberality surprised me. The doctrine of my father was not the doctrine at least one Methodist preaches today. Still later, I talked with the head of a theological semi nary, and his liberality also surprised me. The mother of a large family fell ill and died, and the attending physi cian reported that she died of starva tion. It was Incredible, but he prov ed it: The woman had to get dinner and then spend the next two hours In waiting on the family, and getting the children to the table. It was never on record that she got all of them there at the same time. and they came straggling in all the way from potatoes to pie. By the time she had wiped the last face, her own hunger had left her, and she had no desire to eat Chickens, the doctor said, come running at feed time, but children don't. A hen has a better chance to eat than a mother. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. 1 The best luck is never to trust to it. Sweet sixteen sours very fast with out any beaux. The reason girls know so much they ought not to is their methers think they don't. A girl is so brave she'd rather a hammock broke down with two in it than not to with just herself alone. The average man's brains are chiefly useful to some other fellow who knows how to make use of them. KANSAS COMMENT WHAT Tvrn topt ttt r Just why the government should try to keep the public in the dark con cerning the Investigation of the East St. Louis packing house against which T '.;;1","en"- employe made charges, is difficult for the average person to Understand.

THE SCHOOLS AND THP1 ARMY xou prooably read more of the army and navy than of the niihlio scnoois, put our military service is a trine ootn in importance and num bers compared with our public school system. There are enrolled in the public schools of the country annrox- imately 17,000,000 pupils, or 19.82 per cent of the total population. To teach these young people the rudi ments of an education, more teachers are required than there are enlisted men in the army and navy, the total numoer or public school teachers in 1907 being 475.238. As would be ex pected, New York, with the greatest population, has the greatest number or pupils, 1,400,000. Pennsylvania is second, with 1,225,338. There are but two states with over a million pupils. Many states, however, have a larger percentage of the total pop ulation in tne scnoois than the two states leading in numbers. Idaho, which has but 67,000 pupils, has the highest per cent of enrollment, 31. As you might guess, the lowest per cent of enrollment Is in the southern state Louisiana, with 14.37. On the other hand, Mississippi, an adjoining state, has a high percentage of en rollment, 27.80. Kansas has 381,595 pupils enrolled, or 24.11 per cent of population. Nebraska, Idaho, Mis sissippi and Washington are the only states with better records of enroll ment than Kansas. Atchison Globe. FROM OTHER PENS AMERICAN CAPITAL IN CANADA. The intrinsic value of a protective tariff is conclusively shown in a Cana dian consular report just made public showing that $200,000,000 of American capital is invested in Canada by man ufacturers who also have plants in this country. These factories have been established in Canada to retain trade which is impossible to supply profitably from the home factories on account of the Canadian tariff. The best informa tion is there' are 175 of these firms ai.u the largest plant is that of the Inter national Harvester company, at Ham ilton, employing 4,000 men. Shoe man ufacturers are also largely represented. These institutions, if it were not for the Canadian tariff, could undoubtedly supply the trade from plants in the United States more economically than to erect new ones there. These facts have no bearing upon the justice or injustice of the particular schedules in our pending tariff bill, but have a bearing on the value of the pro tective principle. They demonstrate the fallacy of Democratic platform declarations and the shortsightedness of Democratic leaders who are de nouncing other Democrats in congress who have favored protective duties. Omaha Bee. o A LEGAL PROBLEM. If those European jurists do not tell us pretty soon how Justinian and Blackstone would have managed with airships our land will lapse into sum mer anarchy; which is to saw that baseball will no longer be played by rule. The balloon that spoiled the game out in Illinois yesterday raised first a row and then some hard ques tions. Its drag rope struck a player, caused him to muff a fly and let the ins score an extra run. At some ex pense this mishap might be prevented, say, with a wire netting over the field. But ballast sand offers insuperable difficulties. If a breeze is blowing where the balloon is, but not on earth, the balloon will be a mile or more away before the sand reaches center fielder's eye. How can the aggrieved partv prove, to the umpire's satisfac tion, that the grain which turned vic tory to defeat came from heaven and is, therefore, to be allowed for an act of Providence? CONFESSION AS EVIDENCE. A Jury in Judge Scanlan's court ac quitted two men indicted for a burg lary to which they had confessed while in police custody. The men go free, and jurymen were rebuked by the judge and the prosecuting attorneys complain of the character of men sent to the criminal courts by the Jury com missioners. Aside from the question of whether there was a failure of justice in this particular case, the acquittal serves to point to a dangerous police practice and to show the remedy. A confession obtained as the result of a rigorous, or. worse, of a brutal police quiz may not secure conviction if the prisoner repudiates it and alleges that it was extorted from him by mistreattment, even though that was not the case. The average juryman has some information and muhc information regarding po lice methods, and a confession can be robbed of value by a plea from the prisoner that he had to make it to get sleep or food or to escape maltreat ment.

To say they are im practicable would be rash, but they certainly cannot be built but at an ex pense infinitely beyound any advan tages they can offer. And what is more, if thev were already built, the city of New xork would find it a cheap bar gain to get them taken away for million dollars. Such being the facts it follows that the only tract of country which is easily and constantly accessi- Die is the county of Westchester." PTopnec;' is a dangerous business, Saturday New York formally celebra ted the opening of its third bridge across the East river, and within the next 12 months the Manhattan bridge should be ready for traffic. For passen ger service the subway tunnel from South Ferry may be counted as the equivalent of a bridge, and the Stein way tunnel, which Is completed and must eventually be put to use, stands for another. A century has elapsed since Gouverneur Morris assumed the iqle of a prophet, but 40 years have sufficed for the construction of these great public works. As a matter of fact, except the Brooklyn bridge, all have been built within a period of 15 years. So far as cost goes, the Brooklyn bridge, which was begun in 1870 and fin ished 13 years later, represents an out lay of about $22,000,000. The Williams burg bridge is estimated at $16,000,000, and tho Queensboro and Manhattan bridges will each probably cost about the same amount. To say that the four bridees. by the time the Manhattan bridere is completed, will have cost $75, 000,000, including terminals and other recessary real estate, is well within reason.

Henry Savage Landor, the famous exporer. has arrived m wnaon alter completing a thorough investigation of the work being done in the Manama Canal Zone. "I always had a very high idea of the American people's ability to ac complish a big task," said Mr. Ian dor to the Herald corespondent, "but this matter of building this canal, so gigantic is it that I am all admiration I was particularly impressed witn tne personnel of the staff, especially the engineers in charge of the various sec tions of the work. These young army men show ability and enthusiasm which, I believe, canot be equaled by any other body of men. Mr. Landor has added to his long list of honors by receiving a request from the royal institution to give a special lecture on the Panama Canal Friday, July 18. These special Fri day evenings have always been reserv ed for men of the highest scientific standing, and they have been placed at the disposal of only such scientists as Darwin, Huxley, Sir William Crooks and other leading men. Mr. Landor expressed much amuse ment at some of the reports regarding Dr. Sven Hedin's explorations in Tibet. I went over all that ground twelve years ago, he said, and the language used in these reports is exactly the same as I used in my reports. If the discoveries made were the same as mine, why was not new language used in reporting them?" and Mr. Landor chuckled with keen amusement. I don't know where I will eo next." he continued.

At the last meeting of the "Vienna Psychological and Neurological soc iety a 10-year-old Idiot boy was pre sented who knew the calendar from 1.000 to 2.000 in every detail. With out a moment's hesitation he would tell the day of the week of any date mentioned, also the name, day, and the date of the movable feasts in any year. He answered immediately and accurately such questions as, "What day was June 14. 1808?" "The name day?" "When Is 'Ash Wednesday, 1917. "How long is the carnival in 1924?" "When is Easter, 1929?" 'When is Ascension day, 1923?" His answers were given without hesitation and were invariably cor rect. Curiously enough, his range of memory was bounded sharply by the years A. D. 1000 and 2000. Before the first-named year or after the last he knew nothing of the calendar at all. Pall Mall Gazette. Packing With Ferns. It has recently been discovered that the leaves of the fern plant, which grows almost anywhere, is an excel lent preservative for packing articles of food, fruit, and even meat. It is said that on the Isle of Man .fresh herrings are packed in ferns and ar rive on the market in as fresh a con dition as when they were shipped. A number of experiments have demon strated that potatoes packed in ferns keep many months longer than those packed in straw. in fact, potatoes packed in fern leaves are as fresh in the springtime as when they were first dug in the fall.

I THE EVENING STORY Unimpressionable Harrington. By Richard Barker Shelton.) "You must be very nice to her, Ted," said Mrs. Wainwright, thoughtfully. "Indeed, you must monopolize her, while she's here." Ted Barrington blew out a cloud of smoke and smiled lazily. "Must I, now, Annette?" he said. "Whyfore and wherefore?" "She's dangerous," said Mrs. Wain wright, with the air of one imparting select and exclusive confidences. "She's a disturbing element. I rely on you to keep the peace of the house while she's here. Fact is, Teddy, dear, she's a most incorrigible and heartless flirt. The last time she was here she left in her train a cohort of heart-sick swains that was positively appalling. It's perfectly dreadful to have a Jolly little house party disrupted as that one was." Barrington squinted his eyes very thoughtfully as he looked away to the great blue bulk of the hills rising in the distance against a perfect sky, "And so, Annette. I am to be th sacrifice, as it were, am I?" he chuck led good naturedly. "Won't somebod else do? I'm lazy. I'm having th time or my life here lust being lazy. "I have come to you," said she with deep conviction, "because you are one or tne tew men I know whom I be lieve can remain heart whole under all circumstances. Oh, don't look so con ceited about it. The ghastly truth of tne matter is that you are much too indolent and self-satisfied to fall in love. Therefore, I make this appeal "Oh, if you put it that way now. Bald he In mock protest. "I do," said she. "You must, as say, monopolize her while she's here Make her think she has made a con quest. Take her sailing and motoring and riding, understand? Make he think your case is very, very desper ate." Oh, you women you scheming, far-sighted women!" he complained, "Set your fluttering heart at rest, An nette. For old sake's sake, I'll do my best. When is she coming?" "This afternoon. Hubbard has gone down in the trap to meet her. A rumble of wheels sounded in the roadway. A trap, drawn bv a smart cob turned into the drive. Mrs. Wain wright nodded meaningly towards it and withdrew, and Barrington, turning his lazy eyes towards the drive, saw in the approaching trap a vision of waw hair and pink cheeks and flowing veil that was not at ail unattractive. "Well, well," said the unimpression able Barrington, "it's not such an aw ful thing to be appointed sacrifice, af ter all. An hour later. Mrs. Wainwright was presenting him to the girl, and some thing in the older woman s eyes warn ed Barrington that his duties were to begin at once. Therefore he stepped noblv into the breach. "Oh. I say. Miss Gray." said he, "are vou fond of motoring? You are? Good Wainwright ha.s a little peach of a car in the garage. Suppose I get it out and show you how it can take the hills round here." "Oh. jolly." she declared. Thev motored until dinner time, and at the after dinner bridge Miss Gray was Barrington s partner. And the fol lowing days he followed out Mrs Wainwright's injunctions to the let ter. "Ted. you are perfectly splendid, she declared one evening as he sat smoking on the veranda. Always glad to oDiige, Annette,- he drawled. You do It so well, I almost think sometimes you re not at all averse to the role I assigned you," she said mu singly. I'm safe." ne said in ine same oncer voice. Mrs. Wainwright leaned anxiously towards him. "Ted, do be careful she warned him. "I didn't think for a minute "You are auite on the wrong tack. Annette," he said composedly. "Your suspicions are utterly without founda tion. Where on earth did you ever get. such childish ideas? Yet Mrs. Wainwrlgnt, once in ner own room, sat looking out inougnv fully. And at last, more perturbed than she cared to admit, she tapped on her husband's door.

He'll take care of himself." Mrs. Wainwright felt decidedly heartened; but when, two days later, Khn found Ted Barrington all alone by the old sundial in the gardens behind the house, his hands clenched and his face hard, a quick fear and an equally swift contrition gripped ner nean. He had not heard her noiseless ap-r.7-nacVi. She. hurried to his side. At the sound of her steps he looked up and grinned rather sheepishly. "Ted." she cried, "I know it now. There is no use denying it." 'Whv this commiseration spilled for unworthy me?" he said with an at tempt at nonchalance. "I saw your iace jusi now. "Oh, did you?" "You'd better confess," said she. It's my fault, anyway. Maybe I can help you." "You're quite right, Annette, he said quietly so quietly that it cut her to the quick. "The impossible has come to pass. Aiy case is aeBperaiB.

He was still sit ting there by the sundiaL "You're a brute," she announced flatly and uncompromisingly. Barrington stared at her. "Haven't you any eyes in your head?" she demanded almost angrily. Barrington frowned. "My dear An nette," said he, very much puzzled, "this is not at all like you." T.ono- and searchingly. and also dis- I approvingly, Mrs. Wainwright looked at him. "Well," she said at last, "I have Just seen Francesca, and If you are worth the tears she's wasting on you, I'm very much mistaken. She may have been heartless before, but if you had any eyes, as I said before "Huh?" Barrington interrupted her. "Say, where is she where is she, An nette? Down by the river, yon say?" A brown streak that might have been Ted Barrington went tearing across the lawn in the direction of the river. Mrs. Wainwright sat watching him with shining eyes.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1909. TIIOMASIS FOUND Insaue Man Believed to Be in River Located. Heard From Near His Old Home in Indiana. SEARCH OF THE RIVER Commenced Today Before Word Was Received. Two Motor Boats on the Way to Lawrence. A message was received by Chief of Police Eaton at the police station at 2 o'clock this afternoon that David R. Thomas is still alive and not drowned in the Kilw river or otherwise injured. The message came from VV. L. Thom as at Emporia who had Just received a telegram from Attica. Ind., which sta ted that a daghter- of the insane man had received a card from him that he was coining fo see her and that he would be there by this time. Attica, Ind.. is the place where Thomas left his wife and babies and it has been his cry for ten years, "I want to go to my wife and babies in Attica, Ind." Many times he has tried to get away and failed. Now he has succeeded. The police there had looked for the nan since nearly four weeks ago and getting no trace, the relatives at Em poria upon being advised of his non appearance at that point were con vinced he had been lost in the river i'tre. The motor boats had left for Lawrence when the message came and can not be reached until they arrive at Lawrence where they will be advised of the fruitlessness of the search. The search of the Kaw was begun this morning at 9:30 o'clock under the direction of D. A. Dryer. Until today the water was too high for the under taking but during the interval th; boats and crew were selected for the trip. Two boats. May Merritt II and Nancy Lee. were chosen to make the Journey. The May Merritt is a 22 foot er and capable of carrying fifteen pas senger. It is operated by Harry Bate, her owner, and B. V. Kelley, secretary of the Motor Boat club. The Nancy Lee is In charge of her owner, J. M Brunt, and carries Detective Dryer. Admiral Dryer took command of the ships early this morning, taking the Nancy Lee for his flagship and naming Mr. Brunt his Commodore. Rear Ad miral Kelley took command of May Merritt with Commodore Bates at the engine. The fleet was put into ship shape immediately and all were ready by nine bells. Chief of Police Eaton assisted in the first half day's work. The river is at a beautiful stage and the morning was cool on the water. With flag at half mast the flagship started across the river north to look along the shore, while the big boat weighing 2,800 pounds churned up the south bank with the chief of police scanning the de bris. Both sides of the river were carefully viewed, great piles of drift were probed into, rank growth of weeds tangled and matted by the rush of the water were pried into and the little jutties were examined for the drift they might be holding. As far as the asylum the boats stem med the current at the rate of about two miles an hour. The big boat iirve to around the point of the first big island for a scrutiny of the great mass of debris at its head. The weeds and drift on its top were examined with no result, while the Nancy Lee probed the north coast. Then a long sand bar upon which had struck and, buried in the sand logs and other drift was look ed over, but the body had not settled there. Far up the river opposite the hospital, where during March Thomas had fled out onto a sand bar and braved the current rather than be cap tured by his guard, at an island which would have probably caught him had he tried it the last time, both boats came together and anchored. A search ing party from the crews were sent to beat about the brush and returned with the report that there was no one Inhabiting the island and no trace of any dead people. Pushing off the motors began a swift return to the club house land ing running In single file at full speed for the speed of the current is too fast for profitable search running with it. Arriving at the landing the boats put up for dinner. At near two o'clock both set out again for Lawrence where they ex pect to arrive before 6 o'clock and there spend the night. Tomorrow' the real search was to begin driving against the current at a slow rate of speed. However, now the trip will be made as fast as possible. Ike Sairfoam, an insane con sumptive, escaped from the asylum night before last and has not been lo cated as yet. The man weighed but 9 5 pounds having wasted from his disease. There is a possibility that the boats may locate a newer victim of the waters. PARADE 2 MILES LONG. Los Angeles Gathering of Elks Biggest in History of the Order. Los Angeles. Cal.. July 15. A long bewildering line of brilliant colors. formed by the gorgeous decorations of many floats and flashing uniforms of scores of marching Elks' clubs and drill corps, all moving to the strains of music of innumerable brass bands, wended Its way today through principal streets of Los Angeles. The parade was viewed by the largest and most enthusiastic crowd that ever gathered here. The city's down town streets for miles were a mass of packed hu manity. The marchers passed beneath a bower of flags and bunting and fra ternal decorations that fronted all the business houses and swung across the thoroughfares. The grand pageant was over two miles in length. The parade began to move at 10 o'clock. At the head of each of the 12 divisions was a band, and inter spersed were the floats representing the lodges of California, and special fea tures of the parade. Arizona lodges, which were in division 12. at the last of the parade, had at their head a band of Indian musicians from the Indian schools of Arizona. Spokane lodge members In divisions .were costumed to represent soldiers of the Continental army of George Wash ington, and behind them they dragged old-fashioned cannon, used by Wash ington's army in the revolution. The lodges of Riverside. Pomona. San Bernardino and Redlands marched to gether and in their orange colored un iforms, formed the orange belt. San Pedro, Cal.. had a full rigged ship manned by sailors in uniform, typify ing the harbor city. The division in w hicH the Montana lodges marched was led by the Boston and Montana band composed of miners. I PLAN WORKED OUT City Engineer's Solution of the Flood Problems.

The state board of health depart ment today received a protest from a worthy citizen of the town of Falun in which that individual sets forth the alarming fact that he had found a hog hair lit a can of meat and he wants the scalp of the packer who sent out that can. The hog hair was sent with the letter as a piece of tangible evidence. Another citizen of the great state of Kansas sent in today a piece of cheese sold him for food which was the abiding place of several lively skippers. And so the war goes on.

Follow out the drawn cuts, the cut out bends and the widened channel this will tell In full the result of many days' figuring by the efficient city engineer who is al ways ready to invent some plan for the betterment of the city and the economy of the people. Mr. Rogers proposes to start opera tions on the Shunganunga out near the Baughman ice cream establishment near the country club. Kxcavation would begin near the would be inter section of Twenty-f.fth and Lane streets and extend 1,000 feet over to the creek bed again at Twenty-second street. This cut wculd save in itself at least 1.000 feet of waterway aid a waterway of the most treacherous sort. Cut No. 2 would commence at Twenty-first and Fillmore streets. This is just southwest of the fair grounds and the territory Is not thickly settled. Thi3 short cut would extend to the bridge on Topeka avenue or in all a straight channel of 2,500 feet. Everyone knows how the Shunganunga winds around the fair grounds like a snake and how valuable the land between the bends is for garden truck and growing ma terial of all kinds. The water only has to raise a few hours for this whole territory to be one big lake. By this cutoff, a mile of creek bed would be saved and the water would wash aloni in a straight line without cutting the banks in the least. This is a ver;r valuable change. Cut No. 3 shoots through the Daniels addition from Van Buren street to the bridge on Kansas ave nue. This cut is short but sweet. No. 4 commences just across Kan sas avenue and the Santa Fe tracks in South Topeka a short distance from Reid street. Here the creek would be straightened out in a north easterly direction until it met the original bed at Adams street where Nineteenth street would intersect if extended. This is another very im portant cut off. The original bed forms a triple curve clear up into the city near Euclid avenue and at high water times the damage in this dis trict is great. The cut would only make an excavation of 1.800 feet and would save at least a mile of the old waterway. No 5 cuts about 300 feet across from Euclid avenue, north to the old stream again. This curve is also a menace to the flow. No 6 is one of the worst bends in the creek. This is out northwest of the ball park Just northeast of where the street car line crosses the stream. Here is where the last flood broke through and swept over the east por tion of the city. It broke through in such a manner that if the Rogers idea does not prevail there are more floods to follow. A new bed of about 600 feet would remedy the whole evil and the creek would flow a3 peace fully as a canal. The present loop makes two right angles and the water cuts the banks continually. The new plan would save about 500 feet of worthless bed. From this point to the next cut. No. 7. at the Fourth street bridge there is' nothing to do. Both banks of the creek are thickly settled end there are six bridges overhanging the stream. The people living along here are careless with their use of the other good plan for the doing away of overflows and damage to private dwel lings. No. 8 would be a small cut to Di vision street extending about 800 feet. Here No. 9 would take up the good work and place a straight line from No. 8 to the beginning of No. 10 near the alley between Division and Swy gart south of Second street. No. 10 extends to the bridge at the intersection of Third and Burr streets and is one of the best arguments in favor of the new Rogers plan. The creek makes a wide swath clear down to Fourth and Gray streets and during the high water the damage in great very great. All this territory is valu able and the value decreases as the water rises. With the new Rogers idea the water will never get out of its banks, being in one straight line with out a detriment of any kind. No. 11 and No. 12. shoot through the territory encircles by the old creek between Burr and High streets near Second. The last cut, No. 13, is the largest and the one that will cost the most money and do the greatest good. This begins at the alley between Golden and High streets, goes straight east across the Alkire tract and meets Deer creek just south of Mulvane's subdivision. The Shunganunga as she now stands takes a northerly course up into Oakland bordering the Walnut park addition. Then it squirms around, eating out the soil for miles through the Dawson, Parr, Welton. Butler. MeCarter, Evans, Bat man and other farms. All through this territory the creek places a low value on the lands and covers them with water without the least provoca tion. In som- places it has destroyed hundreds of dollars worth of crops and stock this year. "There is only one way to solve the whele problem." said Mr. Rogers this morning, "and that is to cut the Shunga nunga across east to Deer creek, widen Deeer eree' until its channel is larger than the two combined at this time and the water will take care of itself." And this seems to be the only and th best wav to do. The Shunganunga. now shoots Into Deer creek this side of Te cumseh. Instead flow them together Just about a mile east of the city limits. The Deer creek channel would be widened to 2M feet, according to tne Rogers plan and the water could never get out of its banks. One side of Deer creek is a high rock bank. The other side could be dug out easily. Some of the people along Deer creek say that this would make an overflow for them. But they were not in formed that the channel would be cleaned out and widened. The cost of all this work would not be great. Mr. Rogers' plan is to make a benefit district out of tne whole territory and conduct the levee under the state drainage act. This would place the mat ter in the hands of a board with a con trolling ownership and thus the whole creek throughout the district would be patrolled and watched at all times both as to the flood conditions and sanitary conditions. The levy would be very light comparatively, and when the work was done the trouble with the Shunganunga which has been bothering the citizens for years would be ended forever. Mr. Rogers has taken time and trouble to work out the solution the people should now play the game. Philadelphia St. IjouIs 4. Philadelphia, July 15. National. First game Score: R.H.E.

Thaw's mental condition. Mrs. Thaw appeared as a witness for the state, which is oppos ing the release of her husband from the Matteawan insane asylum. Justice Mills ruled that Mrs. Thaw could answer the questions the state desired to ask her regarding- an al leged threat to kill her made by Harry Thaw during a conversation at Mat teawan. Mrs. Thaw asked if she could not claim a privilege in refusing to answer on the ground that to reply would tend to incriminate her. The court ruled she could not and Mrs. Thaw when atked if Thaw had made such a threat said: "Yes. he did." The qestion Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was requested to answer was: "Did Harry K. Thaw say this to you, or this in substance, 'I Khali have to kill you when I get out of here?' Turning to ihe court with tears In her eyes, Mrs. Thaw said: "I don't want to answer that ques tion; it places me in a terrible posi tion. My husband will refuse to sup port me the minute I answer it and I will incur his everlasting enmity. I know it. I am very much afraid to answer it. "I don't care how he has treated mi'," she continued."! am Mill married to him and I do not want to answer it." Justice Mills quietly instructed the witness to answer and she said w-ith long drawn sigh: "Yes, he did." Mr. Clark asked her to give Mr. Thaw's exact words. He said: I suppose I sail have to kill you w hen I get out of here." she replied Mrs. Thaw further testified that dur ing the same conversation Harry Thaw told her he was not crazy on the night he shot Staniord white. "I only missed him by- a minute on the night before, the witness said her husband told ner.

Tariff Recommendations of Justice to Newspapers. Washington, July 15. When the United States senate at Washington returned to the house of representa tives the socalled Payne bill with 847 amendments, a resolution was offered that the house do not concur and that a committee be appointed to confer with a similar committee of the sen ate upon the points of difference. Speaking upon that resolution. Con gressman James R. Mann of Illinois, who had been chairman of the select committee of the house of representa tives, of which Hon. J. M. Miller of Kansas was an active member, and which committee had spent ten months in a study of the paper industry,- said "Mr. Speaker, it seems to me the only thing we can do is to adopt the resolution and send the bill to confer ence. It Is out of the question to be lieve that we will remain here and give calm and cool discussion to the senate amendments. But in saying this I desire to add a word in refer ence to certain amendments of the senate. Without any desire on my part, I was placed in a position where, with other members of the house, we were compelled to make an investiga tion in reference to certain items con tained in the tariff bill which at least took more time than the Investigation upon ail the other Items combined. The committee that investigated the subject of wood pulp and print paper will properly not be represented upon the conference committee. "The house passed a bill which upon these items would reduce the tariff on print paper, to the benefit of the consumer probaDiy, ana at mo same time would give to the manufar- turer of print paper tnat tree raw ma terial from Canada which is absolutely essential to the continued prosperity of that business. "The house bill made th tariff $3 per tan on print paper Instead of $8: but by so doing we would secure pulp wood from Canada without restriction of exportation. "The senate amendment on the con tarry, will raise the tariff On print pa per from J6. the present rate, to JS. and in effect will stop the exportation of pulp wood from Canada. I have stated what will be the effect of the two propositions, note merely what they nominally propose. There are two states In the Union which would be benefited by the adoption of the proposition of the senate; two states which have two-thirds of the spruce wood in the United States, which can be used in the manufacture of newe print paper. I give notice now that if those two states write the provision in the conference report on news print paper and on wood pulp. In the Inter est of their states and against the In terest of the consumer of paper and the manufacture of paper in the rest of the Union, so far as I am concerned I shall swallow my desire to stand with the organization of the house, rny rii sire to prove that the Republicans are able to write a tariff bill, and vote against the conference report."

A persistent rumor is that the Union Pacific railroad in the near future will construct a retaining .wall along Cal houn bluffs, about three miles north of town. The idea is to prevent the earth from washing down on the tracks in a hard rain storm. While the local of ficials Tiere will not discuss the matter, the rumor obviously has a foundation Nearly every hard rain washes con iderable of the earth along this part of the bluffs upon the track which run Darallel with the embankments. The extent of the bluffs which are thus affected is about 200 feet. The last hard rain washed earth and stone sev eral feet deep upon the track next to the bluff for about 200 feet. The bluffs are on the route of the double, track between here and Kansas City. The track furthest from the bluff was not obstructed so the trains used that roadway. However, it is feared by the railroad officials and others that Sandslide which could come from the bluffs may cause a wreck. It is ad iritted among Union Pacific railroad circles that such a plan of preventing accidents has been discussed. how ever, the matter is being agitated by the people of the North side and it is probable that the Civic club will take eteps to bring tne suoject Derore tne bighest railroad officials.

The let.er mailed at Madrid, Spain, purports to come from a prisoner in the bastile at Lomberto, a suburb of Madrid.

This golden opportunity to become suacenly rich and great produced an un expected effect on the humble chili maker at 1009 Kansas avenue and he hurried to the chief of police in fear or a biacK nana plot.

During the storm at about 2 o'clock yesterday morning lightning struck two stacks of wheat belonging to Peter Esten- berg. living three miles from town. The stacks burned up with consider able loss. The electrical storm in this vicinity was one of the worst in years. The rainfall was but .08 of an inch. Ben Johnson, who was severely beat en in the sheriff's office last Fiiday night, and has been confined to hi& home for several days in consequence, has issued a statement, in which he tells his side of the story. In most of the details up to the time of the fight or assault, his statement slightly resem bles that made by Wilkerson and Ward, but there the similarity ceases. Johnson declares that he was struck 1 senseless without warning, and did nol recover consciousness until the nex morning. He says: "I met John Wilkerson and George Ward Friday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock, in front of the Palace Clothing store. They shook hands with me. Wilkerson wanted to know where I had been keeping myself and why I had not been down to see him. He appeared very friendly. "He said he did not like the hat I had on and insisted that he buy me a new one. The three of us went into the Palace and Wilkerson bought Ward and I each a new hat. "We returned to the street, and Wilk erson Invited me to get into his buggy and go down to the court house. He was driving Poor Commissioner Hale's horse and buggy. On our arrival at the court house we went to the county surveyor's office in the basement. "Poor Commissioner Hale. County Surveyor Crawford, John Branner and Charles Thompson were there. Wilk erson asked Ward for "that bottle, and Ward left the room, returning v.'ith a quart bottle, half-filled with whisky. A drink was taken all around, and this emptied the bottle. Wilkerson gave Ward some money and told him to go and get another bottle of whisky. About this time a storm came up and I telephoned my sister I would not be home until after the weather cleared up. After a while we went into the poor commissioners office. After a long wait Ward returned with a quart of Gibson whisky. A drink was taken ou of this, and the members of the party, except Wilkerson Ward and myself, left. The three of us went upstairs to the sheriff's office. I called up my mother again to let her know that I was about ready to start for home. My sister, Mrs. Baue; answered tne call, and while I was talking, John Wilkerson asked me to let him have the phone, which I did. In his conversation with her, he started by saying be was not well ac quainted with her, but that he haJ met her older sister. He said he wish ed to meet her and that he was the sheriff of Shawnee county. He told her not to be too hard on him and Ben, and that if she would come down he would givp her anything she might want. "Thinking his talk too rank, and fearing lest he should say something stronger, I told mm to cut it out and reached for the receiver. I have no recollection of anything that happen ed from this point. The next morning on returning to consciousness, I found I had a deep cut on my left temple, th am still doing business at the old stand. Watch for my ad every Thursday.

There were many- wounds and bruises on my body and limbs, but not one on my face or the front of my body, except the one over my lert temple, which could not have been inflicted by a Wnw from a fist. "I am informed that after being in vited to his office by John Wilkerson, after drinking his liquor, after being beaten to unconsciousness in his office, he sent for the police instead of taking me home. I was given all tha publicity possible by being taken to the pojee station. "I have not wanted to try this mat ter in the newspapers. After stating all the above facts. County Attorney fccnenck has refused to issue a com plaint for Wilkerson. I made no state ment for publication until this refusal of the county attorney to grant me a complaint, arter he had been fully ad vised as to the facts. Not only has he refused me a complaint but knowing the insult to my sister, the cause of the fight, he has seen fit to certify to the unblemished character of John Wilker son as a. brave and worthy man. Now when Wilkerson certifies to Schenck'r fine qualifications as a prosecuting of ficer, the whole job will have been completed." Mrs. Marie Bauer, Johnson's sister, gave out the following statement: "About 8 o'clock on the evening on which my brother, Ben C. Johnson, was assaulted and beaten at the office of Sheriff Wilkerson, my mother's phone rang ana 1 answered the calL I found that the person who had called was my brother Ben. He asked' if his wife was upstairs. I told him she waa not Ben told me to tell her that he would be home in a short time. I asked him where he was and he answered that he was at the sheriff's office. I was pro voked at him for being there and told mm that he had better stay there. At this point another voice came over the phone and the substance of the conver satlon was about as follows: "The party talking said he knew m sister, but never knew me and that h would like to get better acquainted. asked him who was talking and he said, 'John Wilkerson, sheriff of Shaw nee county.' "I replied, 'Shawnee county ought to De proua or its sneriff." inen tne voice came back. Oh, you must not De too nard on me. If you ever want anything let me know and you can have anything I have.' "The voice ceased abruptly, but I did not hear the click which occurs when a receiver is hung up. I was angry and did not wait to hear any more, but hung up my receiver and shortly after mis, 1 can not give the exact time, bu would say about half an hour.

Easiness Improtes on Prospect For New Law. New Drill. Hall Is Planned For FortKiley. BONDS ARE SOLD. Kelly Kelly Dispose or County's Old Missouri Pacific Securities. The firm of Kelly Kelly bond brokers, did Shawnee county a favor and at the same time made a snug profit bv. handling the old Missouri Pacific stock owned by the county. In early days this stock was distributed all over the state, and during the past rears buyers, working presumably for the Missouri Pacific .company, qalefly bought them up for 20 per cent of their face value. When the buyers quoted this price to Shawnee county the commissioners demurred and held out. Kelly Kelly looked into the. matter, and as result the county received 4 0 per cent, or just twice the sum offered by the company buyer. Shawnee countv bad 750 shares with a face value of $100 each. On them $22,500 was realized. Kelly Kelly received as commission 50 per cent of sll over $15,000 they could secure for the stock, and their commission amounted to $7,500. It is generally understood that the Missouri Pacific company had to call in these old hold ings at any price, as it was intended to float a new issue. BIG AUTO TRUST. The construction of the dam resulted in the flooding of Bothwell's rsneh :md he had to move out or drown. The government appraisers placed a valuation of $190,000 on the ranch. This Bothwell refused and appealed to the United States district court which upheld the appraisers and gave the reclamation service posses sion of the ranch in order to pre vent the stoppage of work of the reservoir. The Pathfinder dam was constructed for the reclamation of Nebraska lands. UNDER 15 FATHOMS. Further Details of the Sinkins of Submarine C 11.

The British submarine, designated as C 11. which was sunk last night by the cargo steamer Eddystone. went down at a point 4a milen northwest of the Haisborough lightship. Thirteen members of the vessel's crew went to the bottom with her, and only three were saved. Lieuten ants Broderie and Watkins are among the survivors. The third man prob- abl- was a sailor. The cruiser Bonaventure with a flotilla of eieht submarines was pro ceeding in a southerly direction when the Eddystone ran in among the ves sels and collided with C 11. The sub marine was stove in and went down immediately. The submarines C 16 and I 17 in endeavoring to avoid a collision with the freighter, ran into each other. C 17 was damaged but there were no fatalities on board either craft. Battleships and cruisers with ample salvage ..appliances were signalled for and reached the scene in the course of the morning. C 11 lies in 15 fath oms of water. Wire hawsers have been passed under her and it is hoped that she can be raised at once. WRECKAGE 30 FEET HIGH. SUGAR FACTORIES. Briitow Offered Several to Abandon Dutch Standard Fight. Building Collapses Killing a Number of People. Philadelphia, July lu". Several persons were killed and about a score injured by the collapse this afternoon of a portion of a five story brick building at the northwest vomer of Eleventh and Market streets. The wreekaee is piled 30 feet high and the number of killed will not be definitely known until the debris is cleared away. The building is an old fashioned one and was being remodeled. Rescuers dragged 8 persons from the ruins. They were five men, two women and a boy. The following is from the Omaha World-Herald: A low and un worthy suspicion has gone abroad concerning Senator Burkett's beet sugar factory for the North Platte valley. It will be recalled that the senator voted against taking away the irrnft of the sucar trust represented in the Dutch Standard provision of the sugar schedule, on the ground that it might injure the beet sugar in flnstrv. Soon after that the senator announced that he had inside in formation, that a beet sugar factory, to cost $1,500,000, was to be erected at or near Seottsbluff in the North Platte irrigation district, and that it was oin to do great things ior mat r.art of the state. Recently efforts n-pr( made to induce the Nebraskan to change his mind and vote, against the trust protection when tne sugar schedule gets final consideration, but it has heen a failure. "They've promised Burkett. a $1. snn nnn heet suear factory. you Vnow-' exnlained a man who was dis ,.iiair,r the situation. with Senator "Only one?" demanded the Kansas man.

The Outlook issued today has an article by Theo dore Roosevelt entitled: "Give me neither poverty nor riches." It 8aya in part: "It is to be wished that some of those who preach and practice a gospel of mere materialism and greed and who speak as if the heaping up of wealth by the community or by the individual was in itself the be all and end-all of life, would learn from the most widely read and oldest of books that true wisdom which teaches that it is well to have neith er great poverty nor great riches. "The movement which has be come so strong during the past few years to secure on behalf of the na tion both an adequate supervision of and an effective taxation- of vast for tunes, so far as their business use i3 concerned, is a healthy movement. It aims to replace sullen discontent, "restless pessimism and evil prepara tion for revolution, by an aggressive, healthy, determination to get to the bottom of our troubles and remedy them. ""The multimillionaire is not per se a healthy development in this coun try. If his fortune rests on a basis of wrong doing, he is a far more dan gerous criminal than the ordinary types of criminals can possibly be. If his fortune is the result of great service rendered, well and good; ha deserves respect and reward for such service although we must re member to pay our homage to the Bervice itself and not to "the fortune which is the mere reward of the service but when his fortune is passed on to some one else, who has not rendered the service, then the nation should impose a heavily graded progressive inheritance tax, a singularly wise and unobjection able kind of tax. It should be a particularly good thing if the tax bore heaviest on absentees." REVISION IS UPWARD. Average Tariff Increase by the Aid rich Bill Is 5.65 Per Cent. Washington. July 15. Through Renator LaFollette the bureau of statistics of the department of com merce and labor has presented to congress an analysis of the increases and decreases of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. Summarizing this analysis, Mr. La lYillette says: "According to the figures supplied by the bureau, the bill as passed by the senate, on the basis of the im portations of 1907. leaves unchanged the duties on imports of the value of S45O.106.037 or 64.65 per cent. Duties are increased on imports of the value of $149,716,619 or 21.51 per cent, while the decreases affect imports of the value of t96.369.619 or 13.84 per cent. The average increases of the entire bill is 5.65 per cent." Senator LaFollette declared that "unless the rates of the bill are greatly reduced in conference the bill should be vetoed." MAXWELL FOUND GUILTY Topeka Man, and Mary Byers Convict ed on Criminal Charge. St. Joseph. Mo., July 15. John H. Maxwell and Mary Byers, both of To peka. after a trial in Justice Meis' court on a charge preferred by Max well's wife, were fined $30 and costs. Through their attorneys. B. J. Casteel and John D. Mcleeley, they gave notice of appeal. Both the wife of Manwell and the husband of Mary Byers were in court, arrayed on the side of the state. Hat tie M. Maxwell, prosecuting witness, testified that Mont Byers, the injured husband, is in the stone contracting business at Topeka, and that her hus band. Maxwell, worked for him in the capacity of foreman. The families were on friendly terms, she said, and frequently visited at each other's homes. There was evidence tending to show that Maxwell, before leaving Topeka, converted practically all his property Into cash. Bart M. Lockwood, assist ant prosecuting attorney, estimated that he came to St. Joseph with ap proximately $10,000 in his pocket. Max well is wanted in Topeka on a con tempt of court charge.

"As soon as the tariff is out of the way" said James J. Hill, the railroad magnate, who was one of President Taf t's callers. "This country will enjoy a prosperity which will at least equal if it does not sur pass that wnich it Knew unaer tne McKinley p.drr.ir.istration. "Last month I traveled extensively through the west and I never saw such activity amoi;g the farmers. Every where I made inquiry and learned and saw that the crons were abundant and the farmers were satisfied. Signs of the panic of 1907 are fast fading. Wheat cars will be at a premium within a few weeks. We of tho railroad world judge the prosperity of the nation as much by the number of idle cars as anything else. Throughout the last year there have been thousands of cars idle but they will soon be rolling about the coun try filled with freight." LABORERS FOUND BODY. Buried for a Year But Been Missed. Had Never New York. July 15. An illustration of how a man may lose his life in New York city and never be missed has been disclosed by the finding of the body of an unidentified man, buried 50 feet under the earth's surface in the excava'on for a trunk sewer in the upper part of the city. This man was probably employed a year or more ago in the construction work on this sewer and buried under one of the frequent avalanches of tha sliding sand. His shovel was found under the body. There is no record of a man having been lost there although the police are satisfied that he was one of the gang of workmen employed in building the sewer. REDS BUY BRENNAN.

By 7:20 all the cars were on the road. Dai Lewis, the official pathfinder of the tourists, scattered confetti at the dangerous turns and crossings and pre ceded the other cars by two hours. He is scheduled to arrive in La Crosse at 12:30. All the cars left in perfect condition. As the weary tourists awoke this morning a shower fell, just enough to lay the dust.

July 15. Religious "re vivals" were classed with hypnotic seances and scored for their "un natural and weird" results by Prof. Edward Scribner Ames of the Uni versity of Chicago in a lecture on "The development of the personal re ligious experience" at the university. Professor Ames declared that re vival converts were likely to become undesirable additions to the church. "In no respect is there grrter agreement among the phsychologfets of religion than that the methods of revivals are essentially' methods of hypnotism" said the speaker. "The fixing of attention, the manipulation of the subjects through a series of suggestions, the final mandatory ex hortation to surrender and to indi cate it by a simple motor response. all these are the well known methods of hypnotism."

Jones Paint Co. STOP OVER. Open the Gates, and They POLITICALGOSSIP "Joedolley" at Last Pleases Garden City Editor. Appoints a Satisfactory Man as Bank Examiner. POLL ABOUT READY Legislators Faror Putting the Banks on Equal Footing. Evidently Most Members Oppose a Special Session. It is a long lane that has no turn ing. After offending Ralph Faxon of the Garden City Telegram bv every official word and act every day in this year, at last Bank Commissioner J. N. Dolley has done a thing that has won Faxon's commendation, yes, more than that, enthusiastic and fervid endorse ment, would be the more fitting ex pression to describe the feelings of the Garden City editor in this matter. The turning poin in the long chap ter of Faxon criticism was reached this week when Mr. Dolley appointed Robert W. Lynn of Garden City to the office of bank examiner, thus finishing his list of the ten examiners allowed him by law. Dick Hopkins of Garden City, speaker pro tern of the last house of representatives, secured the place tor his ieliow townsman. axon declares that Lynn is "one of the most active and deserving young men of his town or county." Think of that, coming from Faxon and spoken of a Dolley appointee. It may be ex pected hereafter that Faxon will use capital letters when he prints that pet name of JoeNapDolley he has given to tne honorable bank commissioner. The result of the poll of the legis lature regarding a special session has been given out by the governor as standing 108 to 12 in favor of the pro posed law to place the banks on an even footing in the matter of interest payments on deposits. But nearly every legislator also expressed himself in his reply to the governor's telegram as either for or against the calling of the special session. Their opinions on this subject had not been solicited, but they gave it anyway. The poll of these opinions is not obtainable from the governor's office, but to judge from the printed expressions in their local papers, it is reasonable to sup pose that most of the members of the legislature oppose a special session. Not one voice has been raised in favor of the plan, while here are a few negative opinions: Hutchinson, Kan., July 12. Con sider special session unnecessary and not called for. But if you call one I will gladly help make it as short as possible. W. Y. Morgan. Iola. Kan., July 12. In common with people of district I am opposed to special session, be lieving it unnecessary expense on taxpayers. Only thing to be con sidered is bank guaranty, and that has degenerated in,to row between na tional and state"' banks and I don't believe the people, should. pay expense of settling business quarrels. Am opposed to using -power of state to coerce one business interest in favor of another. I arrr not in favor of legislation that will deprive the peo ple of right to secure highest rate of interest possible on their deposits. Favor short session least expense. FRANK L. TRAVIS. The Chanute Tribune quotes Sen ator Cambern as follows: Senator L. S. Cambern of Neo sho county is strongly opposed to a special session of the legislature. He told Governor Stubbs so yesterday when the latter wired him for his opinion on the matter. "I told Governor Stubbs." said Senator Cambern today, "that I was strongly opposed to a special session, and that if he deemed it necessary to convene the legislature, that I would favor only attending" to those matters which the session will be called to attend to." Senator Cam bern means by this that he wants to stay in Topeka only a few days and that the bank matter alone should receive attention. Senator Cambern is chairman of the senate committee on banks and banking, and it was this committee, acting in conjunction with the house committee, that shaped the guaranty law. It was Senator' Cambern who led the fight for the bill on the floor of the senate when it came up for final passage. His passage at. arms with Senator Quincy of Saline courf ty. who fathered a proposed law in the preceding session, but who was left out in the cold when the bill put through the last session was con structed, was one ot the most inter esting of the session last winter. Senator Cambern declines to give Will Do the Rest. the present controversy between tne Dankers much weight. He say: that the state bankers are not mix ing up m the controversy. SUIT FOR A CONVENT. Action to Secure Cloud County Institu tlon in Supreme Court. A peculiar case was filed in the su preme court today in the shape of a appeal from Cloud rauntT in mhih plumbing and heating firm have filed a lien on the Nazareth convent" and academy of Concordia, for 4 xnrt sllee-ed to be due them and unpaid for their labor and material in equipping the institution for lighting and heating pur poses. The McCullough Bateman Plumb ing .company had, so their petition al leges, been engaged bv the Havde Con- trading COmoanv to install the heatinc- "iiu uKuxing apparatus in this academy for the contract price of $8,300. They claim that after the work had been done they were able to collect nnlv ij.euu oi tnis sum, and after re-eated efforts to collect the same were com pelled to file a mechanic's lien on the new convent, and nrav for a court or der for permission to advertise and sell tne academy at public sale to the. hie-h est bidder in order to get their money out of the job of work they had done as per contract I he academy won their suit in the lower court and the- Hayde Contract ing company appealed to the .supreme court. Barnes Detained at Home. insurance Commissioner Barnes had not returned at' noon today, being detained at his home on account of the high water, so nothing new was developed in the matter of a snecial session or a settlement of the trouble Detween the state and national bank ers. Governor Stubbs will take no ac tion in regard to a special Session until after he has held a conference with the insurance commissioner and the attorney general. This conference will be held as soon as Mr. Barnes returns to tne state capitol. TODAY'S MARKET KEPOKTS Chicago. July 15.

The lose was weak with Julv off CaAic. at CORN Corn was weak on eeneral sell ing, a large part of which was based on increased offerings from the country. Favorable crop reports also had a bear ish effect. Prices at the opening were a shade higher to c lower, July being at 71c to 72c. Later July sold off to 71e. The low point for Julv was reached at 71c. The market was weak all day and t tne close July was down c at 71c.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JC TAL THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1909. 9 tgjt 2X.

i J v G!TY IIALL flEWS. Are Many Complaints cn Short Weight Ice in Topeka. Vf. and M. Inspector Adyises Purchase of Spring Scales. FATING IN DANGER. West Tenth Parement Is Crum bling Already. Otherc Items of Interest From City Building. Tf Vi nfnnlc of Tnneka who are al ways complaining about 'short weights and the like will purchase a cheap pair onrlnr cnloa nd weieh their ice, their groceries and anything they may purchase, there find the shortage anu report the matter to the city inspector of weights and measures. C. B. Hamil tion, the matter will be investigated and they will receive the reward of 10 together with the right weight. People are always complaining of short weights but they do all of their complaining by. telephone instead of taking up the matter In a systematic and well rroved way, thus bringing it to the attention of the inspector. As Mr. Hamilton said to a State Journal reporter this afternoon: "I do not nave the time to go arcund with every de livery wagon in the city and if I could find absolute proof that all of these complaints I receive were well found ed I. could place the blame and remedy the evil at once." For instance a number of residents over the city are complaining that Old Sol is doing away with most of their .ce and they do not receive as much as i hey are paying for. Mr. Hamilton tooK 'his matter up with the two big ice .antifacturms concerns in the city at 'nee and they said that it would cost them an enormous amount of money to place scales on the wagons and hire extra men to do the weighing- Jfcstf very Uttle to' manufacture ice but tne amount paid out for delivery is enor mous. Both ice companies were square about the shortage problem, however, and they stated that if anyone would take time and trouble to see if their Ice was short they would be glad to reimburse them with enough ice to cov erThe short weight. They stated to the irspector that they would do all in their power to defeat Old Sol in the wagon melting proposition and the wuki be watched more carefully In the fu ture. Cities all over the country are having the same trouble with their ice companies but rone of them nave re ceived such courteous treatment as has been accorded the customers by the Topeka ice- firms. The tee companies are not the on people who are under the short weight complaint series. Orocerymen and all delivery firm come under the same heading and the list of complaints be n fl"fd at the office of the city in spector of weights and measures would startle t onie of the more cautious. How ever, as Mr. Hamilton has sa.d-it is impossible, to trace-down fell. o these kicks and If the people of the city will rvai themselves of the opportunities afforded by the new laws they will not only receive fair treatment but they will receive the liberal reward of $10. Small spring scales with accurate weighing features can be purchased at a very small price and they are rec ommended by the city inspector. When the deliverymen and produce firms, re alize that the people over the city are waiting for their goods with outhang ivg scales they will govern themselves accordingly and watch their end of the delivery with more caution and with more accuracy. The city attorney from Kansas City, Kan was a city hall visitor not ions ago and he gave to the Topeka officials some of the most startling Information concerning the Kansas City plans of oily government that has been heard of for some time. In speaking to a lit tle gathering in the office; of City At torney Ralston the Kansns City attor ney gave out enough practical argu ments in favor of the commission form of government to satisfy the most doubtful reformer. For instance, in Kansas City there -was a fight as soon as the mayor start ed to make his appointments. In the first pl-Ci the-fight centered on the 'Vanltarv rergeant. Each councilman wanted" his man in the place and they finally decided the matter by abolish ing the office and appointing a deputy Military sergeant, lor each councilman at a great salary expense to the city. The fight on street commissioner ended vp the same way. The councilmcn all had aspirants to the position and there are now six deputv street commissioners in the city, of, Kansas City another extra expense to the city. The fight for policemen was about as bad. This finally ended up in the reappointment of a new chief of po lice everv so often giving the Job to enough men who were favored by the aldermen. The patrolmen them selves were all pledged to the politi cal gangs and they o on the force at turns simply to satisfy the constit uency of the councilmcn from the different ward's. The men who work on the streets are a Joke to- the city. Practically 430XE P all of them are old soldiers drawing pensions. The street force is shifted and scattered around among tha friends of the politicians in the same manner as the officers on the police force. One gang will work so long, lay off and then the other" gang takes the shovel all of them receiving pay from the abused taxpayers. All In all the situation In Kansas City is in bad straits, says the city attorney. The rawness of the work of the politicians and the crudeness of their tactics should hand to them the. commission form of goverjiment But, the people and the taxpayers are fooled by the slick manner of covering up the extra help and the city poses as an example of excel lent munjclpal control. Topeka is not worried with con ditions of this kind In fact the pol itics of the street men and the police men are not known. A fight between a councilman and the street com missioner in cpen council not long ago displayed the real issue of this administration clean, straightfor ward and honest. But this does not prove that lopeka could not be af fected by such conditions and this is the reason that the people want the commission t'orm of government to forestall any missing links that might drop from the chain at any time. No wonder Kansas City voted for commission fovernmnet. "W.hat Topeka needs is inspectors who know Just as much about the inspection of brick and asphalt as our citv engineer. Mr. Rogers," said Councilman C. E. Jordan, in speak ing of the brick and asphalt inspec tion on the paving which is going down in Topeka this summer. At the present time the Inspectors for this work receive very small pay even though their salaries were rais ed by the council a few weeks ago. The maintenance bond has been re moved from the Topeka paving and the work of the inspectors decides once and for all the quality of the paving that the taxpayers are receiv ing. time of the poor work done by cheap paving- inspectors. A little trip over the new Tenth street paving this morning revealed to the city officials numerous places where the brick blocks were crumbling away and in the course of a very short time they will be worthless. It will be hard to make the taxpayers believe this when they have paid out such good motiev for this pretty stretch of pav ing, but such is the case. Topeka is facing a problem at the present time and it is a problem that will mean a whole lot in years to come. When the citv places all the responsibility of its thousands of dollars of paving upon a "fifteen-a-week" paving in spector, it means that there is a risk too great for the people to endure. It is an undisputed fact that the city needs high class inspectors for the work this summer and now is the time for the reform. To place cheap inspectors on expensive paving means a good many "slips'.' in favor of the contractors. It takes a good honest high paid man to condemn hundreds of dollars worth of brick right in the face of a contractor who is ready at any moment to throw him across the street. And then there is great room for an extra salary on the part of the contractor this is not an uncommon occurrence for the contractor to buv oft the inspector and thus re duce the stringency of the inspection. Topeka needs high class inspectors and needs them Ut-once. Mavor Green has a table of ex pensesthe cost of running Topeka 10 years aeo and the year 1908. He uses them to show that the difference in cost is very little despite the growth and prosperity of Topeka since 1908. The expenditures are compared as follows: lO.O. J." -J General revenue fund.

Kansas City, Kan., has adopted the commission form of government. If Topeka doesn't hurry she will be on the rear steps of the band wagon in stead of on the seat. One thing in which Topeka is lack ing is amusements. Outside of Vine wood park, the Airdome and a few moving picture theaters, there is abso lutely nothing in the city. A In rue percentage of the business men of the city are still sweeping their sidewalks after 8 o'clock in the. morn ing, much to the disgust of early morning shoppers and pedestrians.

Ilarmers Complain That Hot Winds Are Burning Up Their Crops New Tork. July 15. Unless rain comes to this section of the east in B. very few days, farmers will face disaster. There has not been suf ficient rain in nearly three weeks to water the crops and they are Eaid to be burning- up. As a result prices for all kinds of farm products are as- j tending rapidly, and the quality is aid to be inferior. In suburban towns and interior cities, the drought Is burning up fine lawns and hedges and thousands of trees are turning yellow. The dust on country roads is sev eral inches deep and in many sec tions, the withering vegetable plants ere buried under the covering of dust. Several towns have issued orders against bonfires, it being feared that fire will spread rapidly because every thing is so dry. The official weather forecast gives no promise of rain for the next two days. TO SAVE HORNED TOADS King.

King denied that the brick struck him and said that his son had picked up the missile and thrown it back into the street, and that he himself did not know there was a subpoena attached to it. The court has ordered a better service on King. BATTLED FOR LIFF. Governor of Texas Will Be Asked to Call Special Session. Life Savers Finally Ijand With Crew of Wrecked Boat. Waco, Tex., July 15.
