How They Were Found on Bur lington Train Saturday NighJ. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 23. After a. night of weeping because Mrs. J. J. Bleakley of Topeka, Kan., from whose home she was kidnaped Satur day was not permitted to remain with her last night, little Marian Bleakley, the incubator baby, today declared to newspaper reporters that she wanted to "go home with mamma." VThis is a bad place," she said and stretching out her arms imploringly to Mrs. Bleakley who visited the po lice station early today, asked "when will we go home, mamma? I want to go home." Mrs. Bleakley, while demurring at the pending court proceedings, de clared today, that she W'as confident of retaining possession of the child. "I am the baby's mother," she said, "and no honest judge will take her from me." Mrs. .lames G. Barclay of Buffalo, X. Y., who, in company with J. N. Gentry of Kansas City, is being held on a charge of kidnaping, would not talk today. She is ill in the police matron's room. The requisition papers issued at Jefferson City yesterday by Acting Governor Cimelieh. authorizing the return of Mrs. Barclay and Gentry to Kansas, had not reached here up to nood today. Kven, however, if they come they will be of no value until the hearing Wednesday of the writ of habeas corpus directed to prevent the prisoners removal to Topeka and also to prevent the child being regained by Mrs. Bleakley. Attorneys for Mrs. Barclay left here today for Jefferson City to endeavor to have the requisi tion writ recalled. They declare they desire to present arguments to Gov ernor Hadley showing their client is legally entitled to the child. The habeas corpus proceedings will come up In the criminal court here' n .Wednesday before Judge E. E. Portfield. Prominent firms of attorneys have been retained by both sides. Mrs". Bleakley is represented by Waters Waters of Topeka, Eugene Ware of Kansas City, Kan., and J. C. Pether l'ridge. John H. Atwood, T. A. J. Mast in and Clyde Taylor are repre senting Mrs. Barclay. Through a requisition on .the part of Governor Stubbs of Kansas to Acting Governor Gmelich of Missouri, little Marian Bleakley, the famous "Incubator Baby" of Topeka was turned over to the authorities of car.

N. town by two policemen. The officers Gentrv, Koxy Ross and Stella Bar- were placed there to detain the ab clav. The requisition was turned ductors but did not realize the identi over by Sheriff Norton of Shawnee flcation of the party until they had county. The little baby was re-: passed by. They telephoned over the captured bv the Topeka officials cltv for help at once but it was too shortlv after midnight Saturday night; 'ate- The kidnapers made a run for on a Burlington train as it was cross ing the Hannibal bridge in Kansas City. A wTit of habeas corpus was se cured by Mrs. Bleakley from Judge K. E. Porterfield and the case will come to a speedy end in the circuit court of Jackson county Wednesday. The order provides that Inspector Boyle shall bring the baby and the prisoners into the court at the stated lime. Mrs. Barclay and J. X. Gentry w ill appear in court at this time through the order of the habeas corpus proceedings. In the interval the police will look sfter the child and a detective will' bo in constant attendance. During the afternoon of the order it was a race between the attorneys' for the prisoners and the Kansas police to arrive at headquarters first with the official documents to secure control of the baby and prisoners. Mi-s. Barclay Is Serene. Mrs. Harclay is in the matron's cell at Kansas City and seems very calm and contented. It was her in tention to get the child over the bor der line and she succeeded. "I am very well satisfied with- your Missouri laws," remarked Mrs. Bar clay in a cell in the matron's room "I have spent J12.000 in what been a futile attempt to has so far gain possession of the child. This is positively me last time l snail try to regain her. It has to be settled one way or the other now." So far as her predicament is con cerned the woman refused to make any statement. The little girl does not realize the excitement she has caused and is ap parently contented with any one. "I don't know." is a favorite ex pression of the child, as if she did not want to commit herself. She said she wanted to come back to Topeka and was tired. She had very little sleep since the affair of Saturday. "I would rather be with Mamma," Khe said. Asked if she liked the woman and man who took her from Topeka. she said "no." "They did not give me any candy," she declared once while she was be ing a.ked how she had been treated. Mrs. Bleakley With .Marian. Mrs. Bleakley passed most of the day with her child at police head quarters. Inspector Boyle assigned a detective to guard the child. Inspector E. P. Boyle had the child guardad by Detective James Or ford, and the mother was not al lowed to remain with her after 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Deputv Sheriff Ben Judkins of Topeka, spent Sunday in Kansas City, awaiting the arrival of requisition papers from Jefferson City. The papers were igned at 3 o'clock yesterday after noon and started to Kansas City. MARIAN BLEAKLEY FUND A "Marian Bleakley" fund lias been started as a result of Saturday's Uid naping case.. The mother of the little girl is without funds to carry on the fight to regain possession of her little girl, and has nothing to depend upon but her salary as a stenographer, and cannot keep up her work and at the same time give her attention' to the case. Councilman Stanley started the fund this morning at the Prudential bank, where an account has been started for Mrs. Bleakley. Mr. Stan ley said today: "The cashier of the Prudential bank will receive contributions and turn them into the 'Marian Bleakley' account. People who sympathize with the mother in her trouble can render her substantial assistance by adding a dollar or two to the fund. This is a case in which Topeka is greatly interested, and sympathy js with the mother In her struggle to regain her -o.cn child. She must live while the case is being fought, and she must have money. It would be a shame for her to lose her baby for the want of a few dollars wliich a number of us could spare." r ..h r.pntrv- refused to Jli a. .a i ,i TV- torrlr rwi?

She ran afoul ere out of the way and not wen trav-iot pW until they arrived near vauey Falls. Here their machine broke down and in quick order they received an other car from a doctor of that town. This car took them to Rushville where they boarded a Burlington train for Kansas City and were afterwards cap tured bv the Topeka police on. the Hannibal bridge as the train was pass ing over. The original plan or tne khi napers was to take an eastern bound train at Atcnison dui me ureaiuun .i captain had formerly served betore the changed their plans. mast on a Gloucester fishing smack and After the abductors had succeeded in vsas boosted into the cabin windows leaving the dust of Topeka behind they 0f the Guaranty by the square deal made straight for Valley Falls in the boss of the shipyard.

Finally, in des- the party escaped from Garfield street, i the home of the baby and its mother. The first word heard from the escap ing kidnapers was from Meriden. It was 3 o'clock when the Oldsmobile passed through this town. They ar rived at Valley Falls a few minutes later and stopped for a light lunch. Then they proceeded on their journey, the occupants tired and dustv and the baby screaming. Two miles the other side of Valley Falls and the car broke down. Dr. Braden, a dentist of that little city, was telephoned and he took up the flight with his Buick touring the Kansas City train on the Santa Fe but the delay of the breakdown had spoiled their time. They then made run for the Burlington and caught the Kansas City train before the. Atchison coppers" could realize their duty. They were looking for the automobile and not the kidnapers. On being interviewed after the cap ture Gentry said: "As to what route we took after we returned to the motor car with the girl ou ,Tvav search mer- ne saiu. we Jus started east as fast as we could, Mrs. Barclay's idea was to get to Mis- though, that we didn't take to any of the roads usually used by. motorists. I was bump, bump, bump all the time. Finally, the car broke down somewhe noar Valley Falls. We employed a. Doc tor Braden there to drive us in his motor car to Atchison. There we took the train for Missouri." The capture at Kansas City by the Topeka officers and friends was as close as it was thrilling. A few. min utes delay would have lost the prize to the determined friends. Five men were waiting on the plat form of the Burlington depot at Ihe Hannibal bridge when train No. 2 steamed across the river structure at 11:30 o'clock at nieht. The ouintet quickly boarded the pari jr car of the train.' As thev walked down the alsb' of the coach, the five men peered closely into the countenance of every passenger. Finally, they stopped be side seats occupied by a man, a wo man and a little girl. Each of the trio showed fatigue. "Friends, you're up against it," C. T. Lewis, one of the five, a city detec tive, said. "All right." the man beside tha wo man said quietly. The woman said nothing scarcely looked interested. The captive child recognized a friend in the crowd of faces around the chair, and smiled. E. F. Stanley, a member of the city council of Topeka, who lives next door to the Bleakleys, reached down and Marian put her arms around bis neck and hugged tight. Her (yes were red from tears and a little 'white coat she w-ore over a blue dress was rumpled.... Hid Her Face on Ills Shoulder.. "Tell these men what your name is," Mr. Stanley said. "Marian," she whispered timidly. Then she hid her face on his choul der and refused to. be interviewed further. "I wish you wouldn't separate us," the woman told the officers. "She's my little girl and please don't let them take her back to Kansas." Stanley, the child and the, woman stayed close together.

Commander Dolley Hopes to Soon Float Her. Then a Calm, Pleasant Voyage Is Expected. The Kansas guaranty of deposits law has had a stormy voyage ever since it v "j nearly two months over the lines for tne good ships hull and whether it should be sloop or schooner rigged. It was believed at the time that the new law's troubles would be over if it could only be gotten out of the ship yard. But events have since shown that these sea 'sc propnets were ore in their reckon- 1 ir 1 The ship Guaranty has come to be a second Flying Dutchman. She sailed 1 ro" her legislative port last March with Captain Joe Dolley in charge, load- d with the political hos of the square dealers and it was expected that he would reach her destination in three months and dispose' of the cargo to the simple natives at handsome profits a government cutter the first week out of port and an unfeeling pirate by the name of Wickersham, who happen ed to be in charge of this vessel, looted her of part of her provisions and wa ter. Then she ran three days before the wind in a hurricane and lost her flying Jib and spanker boom. The tired crew rested on the fourth day while Capt. Dolley tried to get his latitude. But his instruments failed to -work and the ship drifted. This gallant peration, the captain ran her aground on a little island and she was careen ASD Captain Dolley ed while the crew worked "overitme to make her seaworthy again. In the meantime the owners and the friends and relatives of the crew were having an anxious time at home. No word had been heard of the Guaranty. She was long overdue and the cannon that had fired salutes the day'she was launched had grown rusty. One can not declare dividends on a ship that has turned Flying Dutchman and re fuses to make a port. The simple na tives still had their ivoryand hides and votes. -i The log book showed that the ship Guaranty was beached on that wood ed island for two weeks and that she ljft there on a summer's day with her prow pointed for Wie Cape of Good Hope. She ran onto a reef in the perilous passage of "the straits off the cape and for awhile it looked as though the breakers w ere going to roar above a sunken ship, but Captain Dolley sent a wireless to the big boss of his predicament and the shipyard men called a council and decided to send the ship Legislature to her re lief. In the midst of all this confu sion a boatswain on the Guaranty- by the name of Barnes hoisted the ship off the reef by means of a block and tackle and a few other marine subter fuges. The ship Legislature never sailed from port and the -people were ,glad to receive this small blessing. As for the ship Guaranty, it floundered on and i on. It sighted many ports but never .made the har bor. As often as its batting prow was turned toward the shore the fog bells rang a warning of breakers ahead and the lights in the towers gleamed a red warning of sunken rocks and a dangerous roadstead. Th last heard of this ill-fated ship it was sailing on a bowline off the Maylay peninsula. It had been boarded by feluccas and most of Its cargo carried away. Its crew were in a state of mutiny and the captain was worn to a shadow of his former self by work and worry. The national bankers submarine, carrying two torpedo tubes, follows close behind the bat tered hulk and threatens annihilation at any moment. The ship's only chance of safety lies in being able to slip away under cover of a dense fog conjured up by soiree tnenaiy power. And the worst ofi all is, that there is nn uneasiness ori even sneculation over the Guaranty'ii fate at home ex cept among the shipyard owners and the friends and relatives of the crew. But those last named interested parties mourn and refuse to be com forted over lost dividends from their political hopes now drifting in the hapless Guaranty. Another Hot Day. Seven o'clock tonight closes the eighteenth, rainless day in tnis locality. The same is true of the entire state. with the exception of a few little scat tered show-ers in the southwest, which were of no material benefit. The short let-up on hot weather is over.

Property Damaged to the Ex tent of Thousands. Street Cars Wrecked and Horses Killed in Streets. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 23. Following one of the most fatal and desperate strike riots experienced in Pittsburg for more than a score of years, a quiet, but tense situation prevailed at 8 o'clock this morning at McKee's Rocks, the scene scene last night of a terrorizing con flict between state, county and special police and employes of the Pressed Steel Car company. Following is a correct list of the known dead: HARRY EXLER. den-utv sheriff. GEORGE MILLHASZER, striker. JOHN L. WILLIAMS, trooper. ANTON GUEURNET, striker. JOHN C. SMITH. trooDer. TJNIDENTIFED WHITE MAN, be lieved to be a striker. Among the score injured. 10 are in a precarious condition and it is stated at the hospitals most of them will suc cumb before many hours. Property was damaged to the extent of thousands of dollars. Three street cars were wrecked, the streets littered with window glass, close to a hundred doors of houses broken and a half dozen horaes shot to death. Daylight changed conditions from a scene of lawlessness to one of tearful anxiety. Foreign women, who had fought with a ferocity unequalled by their husbands, pathetically implored information concerning missing rela tives probably either shot to death or mortally wounded. Shooting continued from various sec tions of the strike zone long after the main battle had been fought last night, but did not reach serious proportions and the troopers remained close to the plant. Gathering Evidence. Just as dawn was breaking the con stabulary mounted and heavily armed, rode to the scene of last night's carnage and gathered every particle of evi dence. Hats, collars, coats and other wearing apparel were found and taken to the company's office. Every effort will be made to locate the owners -with a view of arresting them in connection with the deaths of the officers. Special editions of the newspapers Having notified all greater Pittsburg of the riot,': thousands of the curious made their, way to McKee's Rocks today.- Their curiosity, however, was ur.sat- isfled as the authorities l:?pt them at a distance. Every, one within the strike district today is stopped by the police and thoroughly searched. The possession of a revolver caused detention in the box car Jails, while those, carrying large sized pen knives are relieved of them, and escorted outeide the strike zone. "Shot to KiU." Orders have been issued to the con stabulary, deputy sheriff r, and the po lice to shoot at the first sign of trouble. The practice of the last, several weeks of firing into the air has been abolished and from now on "Shoot to kill" is the order. An investigation by the Asso ciated Press shows last night's battle resulted from the fact that three new members of the state constabulary re fused to obey the commands of strikers when ordered from a car These troopers, on their way from Greensburg. Pa., to the plant were in citizens' clothes. For weeks the strik ers have been holding up street cars and ordering the occupants outi Here tofore all have obeyed. Last night, however, the three troopers and a dep uty sheriff resisted the order and fought. a battle ensued. It is apparent today that all the dead, and a majority of the injured fell in this battle. Later when reinforcements arrived. many more were clubbed and shot, but the first battle waged by only four men against a mob, was the fatal one. It is said the three new troopers had not yet joined the constabulary station ed at the plant. The force of state police, located at Funxsutawney, Pa., which recently took charge of the strike situation at the Standard Steel Car works, Butler, Pa., has been ordered here, and is expect ed to arrive during the day. The ques tion of ordering out the militia will be decided when a conference is held by the authorities today. Leniency Abandoned. Leniency heretofore displayed by the constabulary towards the strikers is absent today. Stringent measures are being used and the least JVc.rt net, committed by the strikers met with a riot stick or the hoofs of a police man's horse. Attempts were made this morning to prevent the holding of a mass meeting at the historic Indian mound, where up to this tim the meet ings of the idle men have ben heid daily. Thousands of strikers began their journey to the mound early to day, but many of them were forcibly and abruptly halted and started in au opposite direction. Owing to the sullen demeanor of the strikers the strength of th-. constabu lary is concentrated in the vicirity of the Indian mound. This point, it is be lieved, will be the scene of any further disorder. Sheriff Gumbert is besieged with complaints from large disinter ested corporations situated or having property within the strike zone. During the rioting last nigln, several street cars of the Pittsburg Railway' company were damaged, w-hile brlck3 from freight cars on a siding o ihe Pittsburg Lake Erie railroad w-re used as missiles by the rioLers and! scattered ovar a wide territory. Valu able property of other companies was destroyed, resulting in a demand being! made of Sheriff Gumbert for more ade quate protection. During the nieht the sheriff swore in 50 extra -deputies and as many more wjU.be added before to night. J If&.Up to the Sheriff. D. K. Gardner.' chief clerk fnv tho Pressed Steel Car company, was seen by the Associated Press at the com pany's plant today. Mr. Gardner said: "Speaking for the general superin tendent, I wish to say that the Pressed Steel Car company is taking absolute ly no official cognizance of the riots of last night. We have put the matter of personal and property protection di rectly up to the sheriff of the county and look to him to take care of the situation here. As far as the car com pany is concerned, we even deny a strike situation at the present time for our plant is in operation today and will continue so during the week." An evidence of the temoer of the constabulary tnis morning was an as sault on Dr. Hanover, one of the he roes in tne riot last night. After la boring for 12 hours dressing the in juries of many victims. Dr. Hanover was nit on tne head with a mace bv a uooper, wnue anting to a friend on George street this morning. He was rot seriously hurt. It is said the doc tor refused to keep on the move when ordered to do so. Martial law practically prevails in Shoenville. History of the Strike. Pittsburg, Aug. 23. Six weeks aeo 3.500 employes of the Pressed Steel Car company, mostly foreigners, walked out on strike. The men declared thev would not return to work until a dooI- ing system of wages, in force at the car plant at that time was abolished. By the pooling system the men declared the car company manazed to et mora work out of them for less money than under a straight day wage scale. Ihe pooling system involved a plan for paying the men as each piece of work was completed, each man working on the piece receiving a percentage of the cost of the completed Job. At the inception of the strike. Presi dent Frank Hoffstot. of the Pressed Steel Car company, made the formal statement that he would not treat with the men in any wav except as individ uals and to date has stood by his origi nal declaration. When the 3,d00 em ployes of the car plant walked out they had no organization nor were they pre pared to stand a long strike siege. How ever they got together and appointed committees and began the solicitation of a strike fund from which has been disbursed from time to time during their six weeks' idleness more than t20.000. The striking workmen through their attorneys have tried many unique ways to bring about either a peaceful settle ment of the strike by court interven tion, arbitration or by injuction. Laws long forgotten have been brought to the attention of Jurists, but' in each In stance the strikers have lost before the courts. The car company in explanation of its stand against it striking men declares that on account of the inability of the workingmen for the greater part to either read or write English it is im possible for the car company officials to convince them that a pooling sys tem whereby a man draws small wages one week and large wages the next, is reasonable. Hunting for Dynamite. Pittsburg," August 23. Information against 27 prisoners now detained in the boxcar jails charging them with aggravated assault and battery, carry ing concealed weapons and inciting a not were made today by the state con stabulary. Several score of others are In custody for participation in last night's disorder. A house to house canvass is in prog ress today. All weapons are being confiscated by the troopers.

The Kenard Sails Into the Field From Meaux. Second Day at Rheinis Opens Under Farorable Conditions. Rheims, Aug. 23. Glenn H. Cur tiss. the American aviator, made a record here today. He covered onn lap, a distance of 1-5 miles, in S minutes 35 3-5 seconds. This Is th official time. Sunshine and only a trace of wind made ideal conditions for this, th second day of aviation week at Rheima. Attracted by the sensational r.er- formances of yesterday when six aero planes were seen at the same tim winging their flight In hure circle over the plain of Betheny. thousand of spectators came down on the early ii urns irom i-aris and when the dir- igible balloon. Colonel Renard. ap peared over the field at 10 o'clock, hav ing come from Meaux, the fences lin ing the field already were black with people. The Renard. which is the first of the dirigible balloons to arrive, carried out a series of impressive evo lutions. Hubert Latham has been chosen a the third aviator to represent France in the contest for the international cup. the big event of the week, which will be run off next Saturday. Th others are M. Blerlot and Lefebvre. This de cision was reached by the judges this morning after careful consideration of the elimination contests held vester- day. Tlssandier. Paul Ham and Som- mer are alternates to Latham. Tih.an- dier, who uses a Wright biplane, thus. iar noins tne speed record. Only one. other Wright machine, that operated by Schreck, remains to compete in this event. The daring perforniances vesterdav of' Lefebvre have made him extremely popular, but Bleriot and Latham utiil remain the favorites' of the crowd. Cortland F. Bishop, representing the Aero club of America, today received cenmie assurances Irom Jacques Verne that he would send a small nortable dirigible balloon, the Zodiac, to appear at the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York, next month. The Zodiac' will compete in the race for dirigibles to be helu here. Today's Events. The- "events scheduled for today were the grand prlx de La Cham- pagne and of the city of Rheims, and continuations In the Prix Du Tur Do Piste and the Prix Des Aeroauts. The first event carries prizes amounting to $20,000. the first being $10,000. The money will be- given to the six aero planes traveling the greatest distance i without touching the ground or re plenishing their supplies of fuel and oil. No aviator can come within a cer tain specified distance of the ground. This event consequently is a test of endurance. Most of the sky pilots elected to postpone their efforts un til toward evening. During the morn- ing and early afternoon hours a few unofficial test flights were made. Glenn H. Curtiss has decided to take part In the Prix De La Champagne. but he will cover only one round for the lap and speed decisions. He w out early and made a satisfactory trial flight of two kilometers. Bleriot, with his 80-horse power; machine, astonished his competitor with the speed he developed. H- traveled eo swiftly that Curtiss's con fidence in his ability, to capture tlm international cup has ben somewhat shaken. This event Is the principal feature of the meeting. Curtiss Is Surprised. Mr. Curtiss today expressed great surprise at the decision of the Wright brothers to sue him personally. Hn insisted that the Wrights n"ver ha v specified completely wherein he has infringed upon their 'patents. Court-, land F. Bishop of the Harring-Curtis company maintains that the Wrights" claim for a basic patent is not good and that Mr. Curtiss does not employ the warping wing, which is a distinc tive feature of the Wright machine. The partisans of Mr. Curtiss are man:- festin considerable bitterness against the Wrights for bringing the suit at the moment when Mr. Curtiss is the sole representative of the United States in a flying contest, especially as they declined to enter this contest themselves and the Wright aeroplanes here are classed as French machines. It is understood that the Wright.' brothers always have insisted that most of the foreign types of flying ma chines were infringements upon their patents, but they purposely refrain from bringing suit until aviation weeic should have demonstrated the su periority of their machines. Such suit will then be brought. Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon Taul Ham was the only man to make a real effort for the Prix De LaChampaanu. He covered 49,500 metres in one hour including Lefebvre. who intend to com pete later in the week, simply crossed the starting line in order to qualify. THREE MORE DEAD.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATU JOUENAL MONDAY. EVENTM'', AUGUST 23, 1009. DIVIDEDJIONORS. Lincoln Won the First Game and Topeka Took the Last. Local Baftrs Found Young McGrath a Uard Proposition. REILLY'S HOME KUA Drore In Three Score? When Game Seemed Hopelessly Gone. Contest Went Ten Innings, the Locals Winning by Hitting. By displaying all the fifty-seven known varieties of baseball, and some heretofore unknown varieties, the To peka baseball team succeeded in even ing up with the Links in th double neaaer of yesterday, after having made a dismal failure of winning the first contest. The first game was won by the visitors by a score of 5 to during which time the locals were al- ways behind. The second gamo was a victory for the locals by a score of 11 to 10 in a ten-inning struggle. This was probably the most eccentric game of the season. The Links piled up enough runs to win an ordinary game In the first inning. Then Topeka in one inning took the lead. Again they were headed and then they tied it up. and again dropped behind only to bat out a victory In the final stages. To one Thomas Reilly, the greater portion or tne praise lor winning the second game is due. When the affair looked gone forever in the eighth this St. Louis boy pasted the ball over the left field fence driving in two runs ahead of him. tying the score and putting the locals in the running again. It was Wooley's pinch hit that won the second game. The reason Topeka didn't win the first game was McGrath of Carbon dale. Kan. This youngster was pick ed up by Jimmy Sullivan who saw him work in the Kansas State league a few weeks ago. He didn't use much, but a fast ball. but the Topecks Just couldn't solve the delivery at the psy chological times. With men on lases It seemed to be the invariable lule of the batters to pop up. In all eleven batters died on flies, enough to put any team out of the running. Topeka managed to slip one over Jn the third inning. Reilly beat out a hit to deep short and took second on Kaufman's sacrifice, .Kaufman be ing safe when Hogriever failed to cover first. Wooley hit a long fiy to left and while Jude threw to first to complete a double play on. Bolivar. Reilly scored. The only other 'un came in the eighth inning. Wooley doubled and stole third, scoring on K unkel's long fly to Davidson. Bolivar Kaufman was on the rub ber for the locals in the first game, and pitched pretty consistent balL But it took him an inning to get rtart ed. and in another inning was put to the bad temporairily, while he weak ened in the eighth inning. In the first inning he made the fatal mistake of hitting Monsieur de Oagnier, and this followed by singles on the part of Jude and Thomas pushed the Frenchman over the plate. In the sixth with one flown, this same jfTencnman wno is really a first class player beat out a hit to Reilly, who was playing deep. Then Just to be smart Jude laced out a twosacker to rightfield, scoring the Frenchman. But it was In the eighth that most of the bloodshed fell to his lot. After McGrath had popped up an easy one to Henry, the venerable Mr. Waldron walked and took third on Gagnier's etngle, scoring when Jude hit safe for the third time. Two runners were on when Jack Thomas hit to center for three bases driving in two runs. It was a great day for the young Sir. McGrath. Tho lad is well known among the mining inhabitants of Osage county and his supporters from his home community were well in evidence, about five hundred of them coming up on the &anta Fe special and soon trains. The Second Game. Cooley had to trot out four pitchers to work in the second game, and an other was sent in to bat, making five In aU. All the baseball talent on the local payroll was exposed to the fans in the two games with the exception of Anderson, and this versatile utility player was kept busy during the sec ond game keeping fresh pitchers warmed up, so that he really had no time to play. Kasty Wright started the first game and in the very first inning sought to rival the feats of Wilbur and Orville Who are from the same family tree and possess tho same cognomen. Waldron got his goat-right at the start with a single to left field. Car rier pushed one between Kahl and Abbott. Jude fanned, nut Rasty was n't right yet. Thomas laid down an easy grounder and a double play was made to order for Wright. But Rasty didn't see it. In fact he didn't see anything, but just shot the ball to Kerns after several moments of hesi tation during which time the bases became loaded. With affairs in this condition Davidson hit over Wooley's head for three bases. Rasty hit Ho griever in the head, and Thomason went in. An infield out pushed David Bon over the plate. With the handicap -of four runs, no one really expected to see much base ball during the afternoon. But young Farthing who started the game for the Links was really an easier nut to crack than Sir Rasty had proven to be. With Wooley out of the way. Oeier sir Tied and likewise Kunkel. Cy attempted thrice to bunt but failed and Kahl and Kerns doubled scoring three runs. Abbott's single put Butch in the run column, and Farthing was relieved by Mr. Michael MeCafferty. Hoffman's error and a double steal scored another run, mak ing five for the Inning. With the narrow margin of one run, Thomason worked until the fourth inning. In this round Mason singled. The Callow Master Hoffman essayed to sacrifice and laid down a nice bunt. Kerns threw it away and Mason scored "Toots" going to third but he was out through his failure to tramp on the second bag. Burnum succeeded Thomason, al though the latter pitched good ball. During his career the locals again took the lead. In. the fifth Captain Phil Geier led off with a single and took third when Mason erred on Kunkel. A long fly by Landreth sent Phil home. This lead lasted" until the seventh when the Links got even. Burnum had ii spasm of wildness and passed Wal.lron. Kahl dropped Gagnier's fly t get Waldron and the French man got a life. Jude went out, but STANDING. OF THK rEJUIA, Western League. Clubs Won.

Mason and Hoffman singled, and MeCafferty forced Mason at third. Waldron walked filling the bases, and Gagnier scored two with a single. Jude s fiy to Ueier sac rificed home another. It was in this condition that the local team found itself in the last of the eighth, and the fans were hope less. But Kerns doubled and Abbott got an infield hit. Reilly waited for a good one and then the corn field drive with the well, known result of three runs the consequence. The lo cals were again in the running with the score a tie. Darrah relieved Burnum and a hard fight was on. A double by Davidson and Kahl's muff of Mason's fly made it dangerous In the ninth but Darrah pulled himself out by two strikeouts. Topeka had no chance -in the ninth. In the tenth the Links pushed one over and hope again left the large bevy, of fans. Waldron doubled and scored when Jude hit through the infield. Abbott and Reilly both singled in the last half and Boles went in as pinch hitter, his grounder pushing Reilly to second. Abbott having taken third on Reilly's hit. Wooley hit a hard one safe to right field and the game was over. The double bill was viewed by thirty-five hundred fans from To peka and other nearDy towns, it was a great crowd and considering the handicap of losing the first game was an enthusiastic ana weu naturea crowd.'

The fans got enough for their money yesterday. Over four hours of baseball during which time they saw 28 runs, 47 hits, including 8 doubles. 2 triples, l home run, and 10 errors. The crowd threw cushions on the field after Reilly had completed the circuit on his home run. Doubtless Mr. Reilly would have appreciated a donation of legal tender much more.. He didn't get near the money that an event of this kind should have done with a Sunday crowd. Hogriever got a bad blow in. the. head from Wright. The veteran tried an in ning in the field and gave it up as a bad Job, Sullivan going In at first and Thomas shoving over towards second. This man Thomas doesn't make a bad second baseman either. He is one of the best first Backers in the league. Jude was shoved up in the batting order and the little Injun celebrated the day with four safe drives, all of them figuring in the Lincoln tabulation. This young Chippewa has been out of the game for a month with a bad ankle, Saturday being his first appearance. Cockman was expected in in time for the game, but the purchase from St. Paul failed to arrive-in time.-He may 1o!n the team sometime -today. Darrah had much- better control than he did on his previous appearance in the box. What is the matter with Wrastyright? Young Hoffman got over his fright of Saturday and put up a rattling good game in both contests. Landreth had the crowd going in the eleht innins: of the first game. With .Tnr-lr Thnmaa on third and two out, Cy muffed TTne-riever's flv but caught it when it came down again. Landreth still has a good deal of his comedy. The only pitchers who figure In the final reckoning of the second game are Darrah who is credited with the. vic tory and MeCafferty who stands respon sible for the defeat. MeCafferty went In with the score a tie and lost. Wright was behind when he was taken out and Thomason was one run ahead until the louth, when Burnum went in with the score a tie, and it was a tie when he was taken out and Darrah went in. The game was won after Darrah took the Job and consequently he takes the credit. An armless bicycle wonder perform ed a few stunts on the diamond in be tween the games, and took a collection from the crowd. He fared much better than Reilly, who didn't get over $10. The fans didn't show the -new player much gratitude. It was a hard day for the umpire, especially with the teams .fighting neck and neck in the second game, but Glen alvin did good work and satisfied both sides. Reilly has a bad charley horse in his left leg which interferes with his run ning. Sioux City 8, Wichita 7. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 23. Hassler. Wichita's new recruit from the State league tangled up with Chabek in a slugging match here yesterday, the Sioux City man coming out a winner.

James Me Guire has been appointed manager of the American league baseball team here to succeed Napoleon Lajoie, who recently resigned. McGuire was formerly manager of the Boston Americans. For the past year he has been doing scout work for the Cleveland team. McGuire will take charge of the team today in the last game of the present Philadelphia series. WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Minneapolis at Manhattan. Beloit at Clay Center. Ellsworth at Junction City. Salina at Abilene. Junction City threatens to Quit' the Central Kansas as a result of the charges against Umpire McKeo. whom the Junction City players accuse of being bribed. McKee probably isn't a very srood umpire, as they don't make good ones who will work at the salaries allowed in the central Kan sas. And it may ee mat a nine money would look good to any offi cial in that circuit. But It would bo a wise thing for President Horfmai to run down the charges and prove them baseless or well-founded. If he exDects his organization to withstand the petty quarrels wnich are bound to spring up Internally. Manager Camp bell and the Junction City directors should play the seauon out In order that the Salina and Ellsworth teams can sret an even fight for the pennant. Junction City could not change posi tion In the race now with only nine Barnes left on the schedule, while Sa lina-lias a chance to whip up and win. out. And Salina is the best baseball town on the circuit. To hand same thing unfair to Salina would deprive the circuit of Its best paying asset. Sa lina, however, in the event of the league's disruption would make a great town In the Kansas State league a much better circuit. This McGrath with Lincoln seems to be the best pitcher who has gone up from the Kansas State league. Mc Grath has made a good showing In two of the games which he has pitch ed. Patton with Omaha got ons ic- tory, but in the next game yesteraay, the Lowly Puebs got to him for elev en runs in one Inning. Hassler was hit hard at Wichita, Gallienne of the Junction City team is playing a great game. Against Sa lina Saturday, he made two great stops which helped materially In re ducing the score. "The Manhattan team doesn't seem to be worried much about the throw ing of games to Ellsworth. In fact the Manhattan players do not leave It to the umpires. They throw their, own games away. The Links have promised to loan Quigley a pitcher. Just who it will be Is not known. Anyhow, it won t be McGrath. Jimmy Sullivan takes a personal pride in this youngster who is one of his finds. It may be young Farthing. Farthing has the good?, but needs a little experience of this kind which will give tilm some con fidence. Old Newspapers Sc Bundle'.

MOST PUNCTUAL AND SAFEST. Public Service- Commission Gives First Place to Erie. A financial writer for an eastern pa per, in discussing the usefulness and accomplishments of public service and railroad commissions, calls atten tion to the many duties of such bodies. and incidentally comments upon the demands of the New York commission for punctuality records of passenger trains. "This innovation." continues the writer, "has brought about, some sur prises. It is perhaps invidious and un pleasant at times to make comparison, but in this case, a proper and honest credit should be given, because it has oeen nonesuy earnea. The writer con fesses that he has not always been favorably disposed toward the Erie, be ing unable at times to divorce capita!'. zation from operation, but a spirit of tairness compels the statement that the otnciai records give to the Erie undis puted first place for punctuality and sarery. mis statement to some may seem exaggerated, but it Is true nevertheless despite the jokes and iibes of the nast. Perhaps the humorist did not know the iacts. vine six months' record of the Erie, as shown by the reports, shows a total or 43.L4 passenger trains, of which So per oent reached terminals on time. The next best record is that of a competitor which operated 5,100 trains, with a punctuality record of 56 per cent. The Erie is one per cent be hind the other road, but operated eight unie mure trains. "But the most favorable and agree able statement that can be made about the Erie, is the fact that it has operated more than 600,000 passenger trains, without a single fatality to a passen ger. "Both records Impress the student of muroau operations ana finances with the fact that the working force is not only extremely competent and capable, but exceedingly careful, as well of the lives of the travelling public. The Erie has a most valuable asset in its suc cessful operation." TO BOOST FREIGHT RATES. Raise of Two Cents Per Hundred to Be Made at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 23. At a meeting of the railway presidents of Chicago lines it was practically decided to in crease by two cents per 100 pounds the freight rates on commodities de livered by the railroads by shippers having tunnel, lighterage or switch ing track connections with the rail roads. It is stated by the big ship pers, at whom the move is directed, that it will increase their expenses by at least X500.000 annually and that it win place Chicago In the unique position of being the only large city wnere certain allowances are not made to them. me railroads defend their action by the statement that "it is a move to equalize conditions as between the shippers having the facilities named and those who do. .not The shipper who is not located on the Illinois tun nel on the river or who does not have sidetrack' facilities, must pay the ex pense of teaming either to Uic rail road or to a public delivery station to the tunnel company. The big ship pers, however, compluln bitterly, and declare that it Is solely a move on the part of the railroad to squeeze more money out of them. Break Records for Pacific Traffic. Chicago, Aug. 23. All records for passenger travel to the Pacific coast have been shattered already this sea son. Between the dates of May 6 and August 5 the joint agencies of the Transcontinental Passenger associa tion validated 63,556 tickets for re turn as compared with 13,085 last year for the same period. Between these same dates in 1905 when the Portland exposition was In progress, 43,755 tickets were val idated, showing the relative popular ity of the Seattle fair. Summer tour ist tickets to the Pacific coast will be on sale up to September 30 with the return limit at October 21, so the foregoing figures cover but about half of the season.

MICH. r GLASCOALL RIGHT More Farmers Would Greatly Add to Prosperity of Cit y. Those Who Are There Are Fast Becoming Wealthy. MANY AUTOS OWNED. Corn Crop Badly Damaged by Lack of Precipitation. Failure However Falls Lightly on the Farming Community. Glasco, Kan..' Aug.. 23. One of the well known, citizens and business men of this town says: "The-territory trib utary to Glasco is capable of "support ing a town-of 2,500 and 3.000 people.' Davidson Co., the big hardware and implement dealers, have sold as a .side issue in the last nine months no less that 50 autos, many of them being purchased by farmers. They havo also contracted with .the manufactur ers for at least 50 moro. A few weeks ago the corn yield promised to be the largest ever grown in the vicinity of this Solomon valley town. Today it has shrunk to about one-half a crop from the effects of the hot and dry weather. -And- the people keep on buying autos and paying for them. Besides the two banks are carrying deposits at this time about 1400.000. The First National bank. the oldest, has deposits aggregating about S325.000. while the Farmers" State bank, about two years old, has about $80,000 on deposit. The two grain firms of Glasco fig ure on buying not less than 200,000 bushels of wheat of this year's pro duct. So far only about 60,000 bush els have been marketed. The far mers are not discouraged when they can afford the luxury of an auto. They are getting the wheat land,3 in shape for fall seeding. The defeat of the preliminary ef forts of the progressive citizens of Glasco to submit a waterworks propo sition is only temporary. Whenever a few frame shacks on her business street go up in flames then the ques tion will come up again and Glasco will be protected by a system of wat erworks. City Building Miles of Cement Walks. The city is putting in 16 new ce ment crossings besides building 5 or 6 miles of cement sidewalks. 'The alfalfa mill has temporarily closed down to make necessary repairs and increasing the capacity. The ad dition of a 60-horse power gasoline engine is one of the improvements. Chaa. Henning, jr.. s pleased with the outlook for his alfalfa mill. T. B.

He will erect a half-dozen tenement houses and Eell them on the installment, plan of pay ments. Land worth $225 per acre, which Mr. Hannon paid for this tract, is about as high price as was ever paid for land in the Solomon Valley. Ir. Charles Stein is a new comer to Glasco. He is a graduate of the medi cal department of the Nebraska State university, and he comes highly rec ommended. Dr. Stein is well satisfied with his location here, and the Glasco ites are pleased. Dr. J. II. Brierley, ex-member of the legislature from Cloud county, is an admirer of Senator Gore, but says he has not yet reached the stage to adopt the senator's views that "if you can't get what you want in the Re publican party one had better join the Democratic party," Dr. Brierley says: As long as we have Hoch, Stubbs, Calderhead. Rees, Curtis. Bristow, Murdock, Madison. Anthony and Mc- Neal, who could ask for a better class or a greater variety of good men to select from." Glasco Needs a Flour Mill Badly. J. M. Davidson, of the firm of David son Co.. is away on a trip to Califor nia. Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, and will return via Yellow stone Park. He is accompanied by Mrs. Davidson, Miss Retta Davidson and Miss Eva Noel. M. L. Hare, one of the old landmarks of Glasco, Is away on a visit to Idaho.

He is one of the early pioneers, and at alL times, has been one of the most progressive citizens of the town. One of the business enterprises which the town needs is a flouring mill. The country Is here to luild up such an enterprise, and the grain is raised here. And the town bids such 'an enterprise welcome. And there .would be a good financial welcome thrown in. UPLAND ALFALFA DOES WELL. (Experiments Made a Bird City Have Proven Successful. Bird City, Kani", Aug.. 23. Experi ments in growing alfalfa on the divide have been very successful here -the last two years. A. Weaver has been carrying on some experiments where the alfalfa was drilled in rows. This year the average height of the alfalfa seederi last -Till v was about twn feet. One-half of it was cut and .the other half was allowed to go for seed. The seed 'has' now ripened and from pres ent appearance-will make three bush els per acre. 4 3 The half that was eut made about a ton of hay to, the acreJ Unlike the alfalfa which is sown broadcast the drilled alfalfa was cultivated between the rows with a five -tooth cultivator and "then harrowed leVel. On the half of- the field-where th. first crop was cut. Mr. -Weaver will-allow the second crop to go to- seed. (At this, time the alfalfa in- that part of the field is from twelve to fifteen inches high.- This experimenting-is carried out to ascertain which crop of upland alfalfa is best for seed, the first or second. Another point about the experiment is the distance the rows are placed apart, some sixteen inches, some twenty inches and some thirty inches. The examination of. the fields shows that the thirty inch rows are doing the best. This year fifteen acres more was seeded in thirty -ineh rows. WANT CHEMIST FOR INSPECTOR. State Geologists Think Miners Would Be Better Protected. Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 23. For over a year the geology department of thz University of Kansas has been carry ing on the most thorough Investigation ever conducted in the United States for the purpose of determining the cause and a preventive for coal mine ex plosions. The work has been under the direction of Professor Erasmus Ha worth. state geologist, who has been assisted by Wallace Pratt and a num ber of other graduate students. The cause of mine explosions has been determined. They are produced by either coal dust, natural gas or mon oxide gas in a mine. Any or all of these gases may exist in a mine and not cause an explosion unless a certain quantity of air is present. The blast ing In mines causes monoxide gas to form. Natural gas exists in all mines to more or less extent. When the work Is finished Professor Ha worth will make a long report In regard" to discoveries and will recomr mend that many new laws be passed in Kansas to insure the safety of coal miners. Among other things he will advocate that the state mine inspector be a graduate of some mining school and that he be a chemist as well as an experienced miner. He says It is im possible for a mine inspector who does not have an extensive knowledge-of chemistry to tell when a mine Is un safe. LITTLE GIRL GORED BY BULL. Emma Miller of Goodland Has Narrow Escape From Death. Goodland. -Kan.. Aug. 23. Emma Miller, the twelve-year-old daughter,, of Henry Miller, living- ten miles south and west of here, suffered a very severe laceration ot the lett foot by being gored by an angry bull. Dr. Smith was called to dress the wound, and found it necessary to take five stitches to close the V shaped cut in the flesh Just above the base of the toes. The herd pony she was riding was badly, and perhaps fatally, gored in the left shoul der. The circumstances were as follows: The bull, was a young animal,-and never had shown any disposition to use his sharp horns. He had strayed away to the herd of a neighbor, and the little herder mounted her pony to drive him home. The animal was obstinate, and, after being turned and heade.d off a couple of times, lunged at the horse, burying one horn In the pony's left shoulder and pinning the girl's foot to the horse's side. The pony wheeled and kicked tho enraged brute, which ran back to the neighbor's herd, but" the little herde: was thrown to the ground and had to make her painful way home on the in jured foot. The horse, it is believed, had a lung punctured and is fatally nun. BOY'S DIVE PROVES FATAL,. Joseph Langer of Salina Succumbs to His Injuries. Salina, Kan., Aug. 23.

The young man had begun his vacation of a month, and was intending to leave for Seattle at 4 o'clock that afternoon. He took his fata dive at 3 o'clock. He dove from a high spring board, and the water was but four feet deep. He dashed through the water and struck his shoulders and back on the cement floor of the pool, fracturing the spine. An operation performed Tues day morning failed to give the hoped for relief. GENERAL. PROSPERITST HERE. Increasing Land Values and Bis Crops Making Farmers Rich. Atchison, Kan., Aug. 23. Prosper ity stories abound in northeastern Kansas. H. S. Oonnse has sold his 80 acre farm, east of Horton, for $10,000. Seven years ago he bought the land for $5,600. Since then he has made several thousand dollars each year from the crops of the soil. Fred Matthias, a farmer living near Lancaster, pays $7 a year for every acre he rents. Th corn produced on his farm during the last few years has yearly paid him $45.60 per acre. A 4 80-acre farm, north of Atchison, has just been sold for $115 an acre. Two years ago it was purchased for $90 an acre. Last year the farm pro duced $7,000 worth of oorn. Woman Aim istfd (or Selling Uqaor, Atchison, Kan., Ang. 23. Mrs. I. Nellls, proprietor of the Sit.

Then Central Kansas Farmers Will Commence Plowing for Wheat. Salina, Kan., Aug: 28. The first rain, in central Kansas will be a signal for .farmers to begin plowing their ground for the next crop of wheat. The wheat will' be sown the last of September or the first of October, about .a month later than usual. That Is the time the wheat was sown last year, and it proved successful as a means of killing off the fly, the green bug and -other pests. Their absence was attributed to the late seeding. The time -will be short to prepare the ground for the seed, and the farmer who has a large tract j of 'ground to'sow will have to work pretty hard to finish his Job, or em ploy a number of men and-teams, a feature of farm life i which-is at this time bordering on the impossible. "Bryce Mulr, a farmer north of the city, has decided that -he will not bother with hired men and teams, and he has equipped his farm with a gaso line engine and a six-disc- plow. This piece of machinery promises now to solve the labor problem 'and revolu tionize the work, of preparing wheat land In large tracts.- With this plow Mr. Mulr can turn thirteen to fifteen acres of ground in a day of ten hours, at less expense than employing men and teams. After the investment is made a gallon of gasoline to the acre and the time of I one man is about the only expense at tached to running this engine ana plow. The plow has six discs and each turns over a foot of ground from six to ten inches deep, according to the desire of the man doing the work. IS THE LID OFF TEMPORARILY. Wichita Residents Wonder If Open Policy Is Permanent. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 2S. Jointists and those favoring law enforcement are alike indulging in such speculation as to whether the numerous joints will be closed today, as has been promised by the mayor. The jointists-say they understand that they were to be allowed to sell near-beer- until" after the fall festival week, which ia the last week in Sep tember, and many of them have laid in their stock accordingly. It will be a great disappointment to them if they are required to quit. On the other hand, people favoring law enforcement insist that if the joints are not closed this week they will appeal to Attorney General F. S. Jackson to take a hand Jn the matter. The situation was discussed at the churches Sunday and it is certain that unless the city .authorities do more than simply Issue" the statement that Joints have been 'closed there will be a recall election. It was given out that the joints closed Saturday night at 12 o'clock would stay closed. This Is considered a "bluff" by some of the law enforcement people who know how hard it is to close .Joints after they have once been allowed to start and have shipped in fixtures and or dered the "wet goods." Manv more drunken men were seen in the crowds on the streets Saturday night than in one night for years. The police made about a dozen arrests but they did not bother the drunken men who were not aisturmng otner people. The fact that all of the Joints open ed at one time and that they had their orders in for "goods" some time ahead, is causing considerable talk This, coupled -with the fact that thirty two government licenses- many to. sell liquor in Wichita", were Issued recently by the internal revenue collector, shows that the jointists did not believe and do not believe that their business will be closed Monday. IiAWREXCE STUDENT DROWNS, Canoe Capsized IiOSt and William His Life. Jenney Lawrence. Kan., Aug. 23. William Jenney, a student in the University of Kansas, was drowned in the itaw river near Lawrence. A canoe in which he and a companion were boating capsized and the efforts of his companion to save him resulted In failure. He sank In Seven feet of water and the body was not recovered for an hour. Jenney was a student in the medical school. He had been here three years. He was the son of Dr. Jenney of Salina, Kan. His father was once a -member of the state board ,of health and is widely known in Kansas. Salina. Kan., Aug. 23. Dr. "Charles M. Jenney left here to take charge of the body of William Jenney, the State university student, who was drowned at Lawrence. Toung Jenney attended Leland Stanford university until two years ago, when, he went to Lawrence to finish his "education. PLANS ELABORATE OPENING. Reception Will Be Tendered at 'New Cudahy Packing Plant. Wichita. Kan., Aug. 23. The Cud ahy Packing company has Just com pleted its new $500,000 packing plant, and on next Saturday a big reception will be tendered to the live stock men and grain men of the southwest. The reception will be in the form of an opening, as the plant will be in full operation. Elaborate preparations have been made for the event and it is expected that 10.000 people will visit the plant between the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock. A luncheon will be prepared, which will be served to all the visitors in the new dining room in the plant. KANSAS GRASS CROP IS SHORT. Lack of Rainfall Sends Many Thin Cattle to Market. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 23. Because of the continued hot and dry weather the corn crop has not only been in jured, but the grass crop is a failure, and this may result in rushing to market many cattle which were being pastured in the southwest. If grass had remained good the cattle would have been kept on pas ture for at least six weeks longer, but with the grass gone and the corn high, it has been necessary for many cattlemen to hurry their thin steers and cows from ,the pasture to market. This will result in considerable loss to the cattle men. RAJf A WEED IX HIS CHEEK. Frisco Conductor Met WTith Peculiar Accident at Paoia. Paolav Kan., Aug. 23. W. C.

RICE MERCANTILE WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Lincoln at Topeka. Sioux City at Wichita. Des Moines at Denver. Omaha at Pueblo. As a consequence of yesterday's re sults the Sioux City team is once again on top, by a margin of four points. Holmes team has proven a wonderful road team all season and no surprise is entertained by them again taking the lead. Des Moines has proved a poor road combination all season. By the way, the State Journal gives you the only correct standing of the teams in the city. And the Journal's standing is correct ev ery day. Johnny' Jones, the schoolmaster pitcher is to join the Lincoln team here today. Prof. Jones has been sick during the greater part of the season and has taken a two weeks' vacation to get himself straightened out. He will pitch now until time for school to open after which he will quit the game and teach the young idea how to shoot Jimmy Sullivan, the Lincoln mana ger, spent two weeks scouting through the Kansas leagues for pitching tal ent. McGrath was the only one he saw whom he considered fast enough. Yesterday's results attest Sullivan's good Judgment of a pitcher. That Lincoln team has been doing pretty well here of late. Two out of five on the road isn't a bad showing for a Tailender. An even break was secured from Wichita, while there is a chance to do still better in Topeka. The Lincoln players claim .that Wichita looks like a bush organiza tion now with so many bushers on tha payroll. But at that Holland is doing the wise thing. His team is out of the running this season and is shot to pieces and by getting some young tal ent in line for next season everything will work, out all right in another season. Lincoln News: The Denver Griz zlies decline to admit that they are out of it as contenders for the pen nant. With better pitching they might, stand something of a chance. One thing is certain, a pennant win ner in Denver would be a big finan cial boost for every club in the leagues Rheumatism is duo to an excess of uric add, an irritating, inflammatory accumulation, which gets Into the circulation because of weaJc kidneys, constipation.

Denver has not had a pennant since 1900. The lar gest city In the "Tip" O'Neill circuit it is entitled to a pennant a bit oftsner than once in ten seasons. v' This Cole person of Wichita who went up to Chicago, celebrated his debut with the White Sox yesterdav by slamming out two doubles durini the game. And these were both off Tom Hughes, a former Topekan, who is now in the employ of the New York team, Thomason was taken out of yes terday's game, not because of any bad pitching, but because he had wrenched his side. Not a run off Thommy was due to his pitching. And it Is likely he would have won out had he been able to finish it. Wichita drops a step further be hind Topeka, as a result of yester day's games, while the margin be- tween Topeka and Denver remains the same. Two games will put us even with Denver. Jimmy Cockman of the St. Paul team hasn't Joined the Links yet. That Cockman Btory is getting to pretty old, and somehow or other it will not be generally believed until Cockman is seen in a uniform. Lincoln has secured a new first baseman. Dan Barry, who was signed to play first for the Highlanders when it was thought that Hal Chase- would n't be back this season. He is no re lation to our ground tender. Joe Locke of the Pueblo team has won four out of the last five games he pitched for the Indians, and In tha one he lost he was taken out. This isn't a bad record for a pucher who was picked up for nothing. "Toots' Hoffman, the young Lin- coin thirdbaseman, is a younger brother of Artie Hoffman of the Cubs., Toots is only 18 years of age, and shows some unfamlliarlty about the game. But he comes from good -baseball stock and in a year or two. may make Lincoln a valuable asset, Fenlon got a single, a double and a triple in the second game afc&inst Indianapolis yesterday. He did not hit in the first game. He also got a triple and a single Saturday. Baseball Phone. The State Journal has a special baseball telephone.

Advance payment is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping; expenses. Leading astronomers characterize the probable destruction of the earth by- comets aa "pure idiocy." This will be reassuring news for some folks. "The human face is the masterpiece of God." writes Elbert Hubbard in the New Tork American. But that's no good excuse for a man not to get a hair-cut occasionally. That there is no place like home, and especially when It Is in the United States, Is being pointed out again clearly by E H. Harriman who Is hurrying back, to the comforts of his own shanty which all of his money could not duplicate la the old world. Evidently Arkansas has plans to pu the sixty-five Are insurance companies operating within her confines out of business permanently. She brought suit recently to collect no less than $65,000,000 from these companies in pen alties for their alleged violations of the anti-trust laws of the commonwealth. !T Considerable prominence is being given to the fact that a young son of E. .H. Harriman is carrying a chain with a railroad surveying gang In Idaho. Any number of other promising young sters are doing the same thing and they are not getting $65 a month for their toil, either, as is the youthful Harriman. Whether or not the prohibition law is being enforced in Topeka and Shaw nee county is evidenced by the records of the federal internal revenue office for Kansas. Not a single government license to retail liquor has been issue J this year by that office to any one In Shawnee county. There were 70 such permits in this county during last year. Robert Chambers, the novelist, may be fjued for libel because of the similarity between the characters in his latest ;work. "The Danger Mark," and the ryouthful Hammersley children of New York city. Most of Chambers efforts must have been taken from life be cause they are so unusual as to be stranger than any fiction which has twr before been invented. When it comes to beating the tom toms for Kansas John Dawson, attor ney to the state railroad board at the present writing, is in a class by him self. His speech at St. Joseph the other day about the glories of the Sunflower state was a notable effort. A special stats position should, be created for him. He should be sent around Uie country to present with all of the ora torical flowers he is capable of mould ing the facts and figures which are dug tip by Mr. Cobura, the secretary of the state department of agriculture. in revisllng "the tariff the congress men put radium on the free list. This bas turned out to be a terrible mis take in view of the recent- find of pitch blende in California which will produce radium enough to supply the world with this valuable stuff for all time to come. Now here's, an Infant Industry that should be protected especially in view f the fact that this mineral which is Jjroduced abroad brings in only $8,000,000 a pound, Troy weight. Things ought to be fixed so the American product can be sold for twice that sum in this coun try. At least this is the theory upon which a good deal of the protective tar iff has been built. New Orleans to the fore. Her citi zens have decided that high hats and frock coats no longer constitute a prerequisite for service on the occasions of receptions to prominent- personages. So when Mr. Taft reaches that town he will be received by the gentlemen thare in their "plain clothes." But, as a mat ter of fact, this has been the order in Kansas ever since it was established. If frock coats and high hats should be demanded on Kansas reception com mitteemen, each reception committee doing business in the state would com prise one man, and a Democrat at that, Col. Bill Sapp of Galena. He's thi only man in Kansas who has such a costume at his beck and call. The publication of a new monthly Bagaeine called "The Editorial Review" has been undertaken by The Editorial Review company of New York city. In its announcement this new review states that it "does not aim at indis criminate dissemination. It is not am bitious to become a 'popular' magazine. It is distinctly a high-class journal of original thought and a medium for the selection and presentation of the most dominant editorials of the dally press, thus denoting the views of different sections of the country." There would seem, to be an excellent field for such a publication. And If the future num bers of the new magazine are as inter esting with such valuable matter as is the initial one. a fine success for it is assured. Hi-Ti IS HELD TOO CHEAPLY. That human life is too often held in little regard has been exemplified again by the roll of the dead and in jured among the participants in tho big automobile races which 'were held last week, on the new spe cial speedway for automobiles which has been built at Indianapolis. And what's the gain? Not much of anything that is of real worth. There is no need of demonstrations of the possible speed that can be se cured In the operation of automobiles. It is a settled question now that they can be built to travel aa fast as men will ever require them to be run eith sr for necessity or pleasure. Terrific speed contests between automobiles to prove that a car of one make can travel a mile, or ten miles or a hundred mile.i a little faster than a machine of an other make serve no good purpose. The manufacturer putting out the fastest car may get lots of free advertising for his wares but it is surely not of the kind that helps his business very much. Few automobilists of" the average tyre have any use for machines that can run a mile in less than a minute. There certainly could be no pleasure in such fast traveling as this even if the law permitted it on public highways. As a matter of fact the day for de veloping speed In automobiles has passed. What is needed now is the de velopment of machines that will have endurance; that can be operated day in and day out with a reasonable as surance to their owners that they will not break flown or get out of kilter in any way while, they are being operated. This being the case there is no need for the speed contests such' as were conducted last week at Indian apolis and which have been held from time to time in other sections of th-3 country and which are scheduled for future occurrence. Such contests are dangerous in the extreme to those en gaging in them and they should not be permitted. There is no excuse for them and the toll on human life which thej levy. VOTE FOR THE BONDS. A special election is to be held to morrow to vote on the"propositions to issue bonds for the extension of tad Melan; for the erection of a munici pal garbage disposal plant; and for the construction of a bridge across the Shunganunga at Fillmore street. And each of these proposals should receive the hearty support of the vot ers of this community. Experts have presented facts to show that one of the flood precautions that is necessary for the protection of Topeka is the widening of he channel of the Kaw. This can only be brought about by the extension of the Melan bridge and the railroad bridges which cross It. The Santa Fe has extended Its bridge already. The Rock Island announces that it will not undertake its share of this work if the city does not decide to extend the Melan bridge. An opinion has been delivered by the city attor ney that the city wilt be liable to damages from floods which .may be caused by a blocking of the Kaw channel by the Melan bridge. This, of Itself, should be an almost suffi cient reason for the undertaking of this work As for a garbage uis;-js;tl plant. It is one cf th- crying .leois -jf Topeka. Ihire is nc place now wituin a reas-o.-:i-'e Giotance of the rity wert g.vijasM and refuse can o !si?csed of In a proper manner. Neither is there any adequate system for the col lection of ,f rba.-.: throughout the city. Sucn df-sirable things can only bf brought nbout by the establish ment of a municipal garbas disposal plant. All of the up-to-date citie3 in the country have them. If one Is properly conducted It can come pret ty near supporting itself. Tbe erec tion of such a plant will re an excel lent thing for the city and its people. A vote for the bonds to make this possible will be a vote in the Interest and promotion of the public health. There is also an equal necessity for the construction of an adequate bridge across the Shunganunga at Fillmore street. This would be evident to any person who took the trouble to go to that locality and look She situation over. The voters of the city will not how themselves to be a vj y discerning lot if they do not cast their ballots to morrow by a large majority in favor of each of these three propositions. PURE FOOD LAWS. Nothing is more important to the people of this country than pure food. After years of persistent and untiring effort national legislation- has been framed and been in force for i some time now which demands that nothing but pure food shall be sold to its con sumers, or else that imitations of cer tain food products, which .may be harmless, shall be branded as such so that people may know just exactly what they are buying. Most of the states have legislation along the same line and the bulk of it is patterned after the national law, as it should be. For if uniform legislation is needed on any one subject It la this one. However, there has been some con certed effort during the past year or two to break down this desirable uni formity in such legislation. The Na tional Association of Food Commis sioners is back of this movement. They started it at the'r convention of a year ago which was held In Mackinac when a new "Model Uniform Pure Food Law" was prepared -which dif fers in many essential respects from the present national law on the sub ject and the similar ones which the states have adopted. This newly pro posed law was introduced Into the leg islatures of various of the states last winter but without much success. This association began its annual meeting for this year at Denver today and It is understood that a new campaign will be launched at it for the adoption by states of the new "model" law which varies so greatly from the present na tional and state laws on this impor tant subject. Such a campaign should not receive any support from the people. Indeed,- it Is difficult to figure out why it is being promulgated by the association in question. It is assuredly most in- advised and Ill-considered. The neces sity for uniformity between state and national pure food laws should be ap parent to every one. Such uniformity of law for the equal benefit of con sumers and producers is as imperative for sound articles of food as is the necessity for establishing uniformity for standards of weights and meas ures, of money, and the like. It is needed so that the food producers of every state may find their markets freely, untrammelled by trade barriers and discriminations from diversity of law among the several states. Perhaps the national pure food law, and its prototypes, the pure food laws which have been adopted by the vari ous states are not perfect. But if it is desirable to change them the changes should not be made by the states adopting different laws for themselves. The changes should first be made by congress in the federal law and then followed with similar changes in the state laws. JOURNAL ENTRIES Altogether too many people are satisfied with their lot. or rut, in life. Among other things, eating corn off a cob is quite a noisy proceeding with some folks. Stories, especially those about per sons, soon grow out of all semblance to their original forms. If there is one feminine stile more barbaric and unattractive than others it is the wearing of ear-rings. The individuals most impressed with the idea that they ars par ticularly wise aro generally the easiest to fool. 7 t i i i An army officer at Fort Riley has been ordered to report at Washington for duty as military aide to the presi dent. A military aide is supposed to chase after the golf balls when they go through a hole in the fence, says the Emporia Gazette. Three Pratt gentlement were off on a trip last week and they all found after getting away that they were short of the necessary dope to pay expenses. Each expected to borrow from the other, but found every one strapped. They were strangers in a strange land and couldn't get a check cashed. Fin ally one of them met a man he knew and borrowed enough money to bring them all back home. Pratt Union. We met a poor man today who is dependent on his relatives, and they don't like the enforced task of taking care of him. "Had I saved 10 cents a day during my younger years," he said. "I would have been independ ent. I might have saved a dollar a day during all my working career and not stinted myself in; the least." This old man's experience is worth think ing about. The trouble with Amer ican men is that they waste- dimes looking for a million dollars. More than half the people that die are buried by charity. Atchison Globe. Bert Walker of the Osborne Farmer would like to see the school of jour nalism at the state university become really helpful, and he make's this sug gestion: "We don't care to become a pest on any certain hobby, but we feel called upon once more to make a rea sonable demand. We have kept quiet for a year under trying circumstances. We insist that the class in Journalism at the Kansas university be taught how to do up single wraps. Too many ed itors get all the paste on the paper and none on the wrapper. -It takes too much time to run out and hunt up a corn sheller to separate the paper and the wrapper. The man who- can do up a paper in a neat single wrapper has conquered more than the .fellow who learns to write a flowery obituary about some old fossil who has wan dered on to the bourne from which no traveler returns." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. There are, a number of things, how ever, it is. best not to learn by ex perlence. Some men never settle down until the earth is r&refuhy tamped and sodded above them. From your effort of thinking of something to say. spare a little time to think what not to say. Here is a rule -that will not fail once in a hundred times: Be polite to a boy. and he'll be polite to you.- If you want to make trouble for the most envied person on earth, tell him he is seeing his happiest days now. A woman comes pretty .near being an ideal wife if her drygoods bills are never as large as the bills for eating. Nine in ten who telephone take this for granted: I do not have to tell who I am for everyone knows My "Voice." A new popular wedding' song is en titled "If I But Knew."; Heavens! that Is why the ceremony goes on; because neither one knows. There must be a lot bf discontented Shades roaming, or rather blowing, around In the nxt world: No souvenir postal cards there to send back! Thfr trouble a fool can make is sur prising. He will decide that a certain fool thing should be done, and bore half the people In town to "do their share." We have noticed that if we have a bad dream it is early In the night, and never interrupted, but that the pleas ant drearru; always begin at rising hour li. the morning. "Do thai and I'll reward you," and "Don't do that, or I will punish you" are common expressions heard by chil dren. Query: Which is addressed to girls, and which to boys? A certain woman has been sick sev eral months. When the late hot weath ei came on, her friends thought: "This will kill her. sure." But instead of killing her, the hot weather did her good, and she in now up and around. You can never tell what a woman will to. I I JAYHAWKER JOTS KANSAS COMMENT POWER OF THE RETAILER. The state of Kansas has demonstra ted that Jt Is not a success In the retail business, it may be able to do well in the line of manufactures, but when it comes to selling its product, It Is a failure. After tiyinsr fm. olpht vwra to sell 1. i A uiuuine i wine oJrect t- tne tarmers, and thus save the aforesaid farmer all intermediate profits, the state has come to the conclusion that tha farmers pre fer to pay more for. their twine, and buy it from the retail dealer. J.n the future, it is likely that the state will pur. out its solicitors, take orders from merchants, allow them a reasonable rroflt, and handle twine -in the same way that the harvester trust handles It. The idea of selling twine at cost to the farmers has resulted in the harvester trust selling eight times as much twine in Kansas as the state plant sells and in leaving the state plant with a mil lion and a half pounds of twine on hand at the end of one of the best wheat years the state ever had. The trouble is not with the twine, or with the theory of a state twine plant. Both of these are an right. But tbe state was trying to "buck" the re tail dealers of Kansas, and couldn't make much headwav. The state has never allowed the re tailers a profit on twine, and hence the retailers have not gone out of their way to encourage farmers to send to Lansing and buy their twine. In fact it is claimed that a good deal of promiscuous hammering has been done on the prison made twine, in spite of the fact that this twine seems to meet all the tests of good twine. .Next season It is promised that the state will offer its twine for sale through the regular channels of trade. State twine will be on hand In the retail stores In every town in Kansas, and it will be sold at cost, as before, but plus a reasonable profit for the retail er. And the farmer will pay this rea sonable profit gladly, because It re lieves him of the responsibility of or dering iwlne Jn advance, of paying for it tn cash, and of taking the risk of hav ing a surplus left over, or not having enough to run him through harvest. it might be that if the state was a mall order concern or a "cat" house, It could sell its twine direct to the farmer from the factory at Lansing, but the state doesn't seem to excel in that sort of business. This fact, however, is to be remem bered. Kansas has been offering cheap twine to the farmers and this enabled the farmers of Kansas to buy twine from the harvester trust several cents pound cheaper than twine Is sold in neighboring states where there is no competition. The state of Kansas has been saved many times the cost of the twine plant in this involuntary cut made by the twine trust. Salina Jour nal. THE WATER POWER SITES. It is evident that something must be done to prevent a clique of certain men in New York getting hold of the water power rights in the west. Presi dent Roosevelt pointed out that this clique was getting hold of the water power sites and he- took the proper steps to prevent it. Since his watch ful eye is no 'longer upon them It seems the clique has gone on with their work of getting- control of these sites. Governor Pardee of California awakened the National Irrigation Congress by his: speech in which he called attention to this and to the lack of performance of duty by Mr. Balllnger, secretary of the Interior, who appears to be- very friendly with this eastern clique. Governor Pardee pointed out that Secretary Garfield, under the instructions of Roosevelt, had withdrawn from public entry many tracts of land under the belief that the land should be held for the people, and said that Secretary Bal llnger had again put these tracts for entry; and that each tract had in its boundaries a water power site. Governor Pardee is right and the plea of Secretary Ballinger that irri gation is not a proposition for a poor man is a mighty poor plea and shows that he is hunting cover for his acts. It is evident that If tne people of the northwestern states do not Intend losing all that Roosevelt gained for them they will have to get busy. Wichita Eagle. FROM OTHER PENS CHANGES IN THE HUMAN FORM. The tailors and shoe dealers of Lon don have accumulated some Interesting statistics on the chane-e in the figures of men and women. According to the tailors, there are two new types of men; that is, as re"" -'Is their figures. One is the man who plays a great deal of golf, or indulges largely in other forms of outdoor sport: this man is growing taller and slimmer. On the other hand, the man who has given up walking and horseback riding for the motor car is becoming prosaically fat; during the last two years there has been such a waist development that the makers of ready made clothing have been forced to add an extra half inch to the waists of trousers. For the ath letic type of man the average chest measurement is 38 inches, with, waist of 34; while the motoring man. though shorter, demands a 36-inch waist. As for the ladies.' it is a delicate sub ject, but the dealers feel the truth must prevail and they reluctantlv admit that their customers' feet are much larger than they used to be. Two years ago the average was No. 4. and No. 2 was kept in stock; this latter size has now been given up and No. 8 has appeared, while the average has Increased to No 5. If this has been accomplished in two years who can guess the changes to come? Boston 'Globe. A CHANCE FOR THE HAGUE. The Hague international court of ar bitration is fooling away its time with rc thing to do, when a great lot of dis putes might satisfactorily o--cup its attention. There is the trouble between Bolivia and Peru, for instance, which c rtainly admits of settlement by arbi tration. Bolivia lifts r.o seacoast, and is anxious to reach the ocean. That country casts longing eyes on Peru's riparian boundary, and there be those who fear flat she seeks a pretext to go to war with that country and seize a maritime province, or else exact one as an indemnity. The attitude of Chill in this care is watched with solicitude for if thj lat'er country should lend art'stanee to Bo ivia. Peru would pro bably havo to submit. The only ground tor dispute at present appears to be al leged dissatisfaction of Bolivia over the Argentine award, which was favorable to Peru, but as this was the result of arbitration, it ij too small an affair to go to war about. Bolivia would lay her self open to severe condemnation if she began hostilities on a trjmped-up causs. but considerations of this character have not always deterred Spanish- American republics from seeking their own euds.

Somerville Journal. Loyal Irishmen. There was rather an Interesting lit tle thing in the Gould case the case of Mrs. Howard Gould suing her hus band for separation. Attention la called to the matter, curiously enough, by an Englishman, who writes to the ed lows Evening Journal, as fol- "Here is a funny thing. Every ser vant who testified against Mrs. Gould, their former mistress, was an English man. Every servant who stood by her was an Irishman. Is it possible that the lower class Englishman has developed into a white-livered cur altogether? Isn't it a fact that, while certain servants, such as the English, are pre ferred by society people, because of their willingness to prostrate them selves at the feet of their mistress, that sort of self-degradation is invariably accompanied by loss of manhood the kind of manhood that would induce a man to protect a mistress much as he would his own family? I guess most of the follies of the rich carry with them their own punishment." Very sensible letter indeed to come from an Englishman or anybody else, j And a very interesting fact this Eng lishman points out. We do not think that all English servants, or the lower class English man in general, represent "a white livered cur" nothing as bad as that. There are plenty of Englishmen as in dependent as any man that ever walk ed. Enough of them have con tn tha scaffold for a principle to prove that. But it does seem to be a fact that there is more Intense loyalty in the Irishman, the Celt, of whatever social or intellectual grade, than in the Eng lishman. It doesn't date from yester day, it is a peculiarity that goes far back into the early days, before the Irish -were ever in Ireland, when they were Celts roaming around in the Balkans, dashing down to Greece and adding blue-eyed babies to the popu lation, fighting in Spain, and generally making themselves actively obnoxious. rnose naif-savage chiefs that an- peared before- Alexander the Great were Celts, Irishmen, the same as the Irishmen today. When he asked them what they were- afraid of suDDosinr. of course, that they would say, "We are airaid or your awful majesty," they replied, "We are afraid that the sky will fall on us nothing else." some irisnmen have been slow to learn very much about astronomy, or about the fact that the sky couldn't fall, even to this day. They have also been slow to learn servility. The man who has an Irishman working for him may find a first class strike on his hands. He may even live to see nis lrisn employe rise ud and hit him on the head where a ques tion of dignity is Involved. But you won't find the Irish servant, or em ploye, or any other Irishman, as a rule, turning on those for whom they have professed friendship. New York .Evening journal. What Dreamers Eat. Hasheesh, that strange drug which has given our language Its word "as sassin" a man so frenzied by the drug that he accomplishes murder is used by the Persians. Turks, and Egyptians in a manner akin to the use of opium by the Chinese. It is the product of a plant grown in large quantities in the Peloponnesus (southern Greece), in the district about Trlpolitza. The plant grows to a height of about feet, and its branches are thickly covered with small leaves and studded with tiny seeds. The entire plant, stalk, and branches, is cut within a few inches of the root and laid out in the sun to dry. The branches are then rubbed to separate the seeds, and these in turn are ground into a fine powde-, which constitutes the drug. The drug has the power of inducing sleep and producing pleasant and fantastic dreams. Continued use of hasheesh renders its devotees reckless and re sults in a wreck of their mental and physical constitution. For this reason the Egyptian govern ment has prohibited the Importation of the drug, and recently entered into a convention with Greece to prevent its exportation from there to Egypt, whera the consumers of hasheesh are very numerous. The drug is practically never used in Greece, but is now ex ported to England, Austria. France, ana Italy, ana rrom there much, no doubt, xiltimately finds its way to Egypt. Philadelphia Inquirer. He Did Not Like the Tune. A poor foreign musician was dogged ly wrestling with his trombone outside a village inn. He knew that The Lost Chord" was somewhere in that instru ment, but the latter seemed loath to part with it. At length the landlord appeared at the door. The poor musi cian bowed, and, doffing his cap,' said, "Musig hath jarms," and smiled. The Innkeeper smiled also, and kindly. "Well, not always," he said. "But try that tune outside that red brick hous and I'll give you sixpense." Three minutes later the trombonist was back again, mud bespattered and forlorn. "You vos right," he said, slowly an-l sadly; "musig hath jarms not always no. A mad veilow out of dat house came und me mit a brigg he knocked down yes.

Dundee Adver tiser. REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. The way to make anything doubtful Is to bet on it for a sure thing. The people who most hate to begin an argument most hate to end it when they get into it. It's lucky for the dressmakers and hatmakers who fix styles up the way they do that women have no sense of humor. One reason a girl likes sitting in a hammock with a man under the moon is maybe it will go behind a cloud and make it darker. Whether a man tells his wife the truth or rot has nothing to do with whether she believes him; it's whether she wants to. THE EVENING STORY The Tattlctale. (By Temple Bailey.) Patricia and the professor were the last to leave the breakfast table. "So Mary Morris and Willis ton are engaged," the professor remarket. "Everybody is talking about it." Patricia looked up at him, startled. "Why, It's a secret." The professor shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing is a secret when it is one told and the news came from our landlady." "Mrs. Murdoch? Why I told Mrs. Murdoch." Patricia confessed. "She asked me such direct questions that I couldn't easily evade, but I never dreamed she would tell." "And Mary Morris never dreame.I that you would tell," the professor re marked. "That's the way all gossip begins 1 think," said Patricia flaming, "that you are very unpleasant to call It goa sip." "Do you know the name we have for little girls who talk too much?" he asked her, gravely. She shook her head. "Tattle-tale," he told her. "Oh," she flung out, "how rude you are!" Then her lip quivered. "You are horrid to make me so uncomfortable." When Patricia's lip quivered It waa time for a mere man to lay down his weapons, and the professor was begin ning hurriedly, "I didn't mean," when Mary Morris appeared at the door. "Oh, Patricia," she reproached, "did you tell Mrs. Murdoch?" "Yes." Patricia admitted, "I did but I didn't think she would repeat It, Mary." "And I didn't think you would." Mary condemned. "I thought you could keep a secret, Patricia." "Oh, Mary!" Patricia's tone was dis tressed. "I thought I could trust you, Pa tricia." And away she went, and Pa tricia delivered a passionate opinion tt the professor. "'Nobody seems to think that I should have had to lie to evade Mrs. Mur doch's questions. She just wormed is. out of me, and I can't evade like some people." The professor rose and came arounl to her. "You know I wouldn't hurt you for the world." "But you have hurt me," Patricia sobbed, "and I wish you'd go away. I don't want to speak to you any more to you or to Marv Morris or any body!" Then she fled from the dining room, and the professor had to take his pun ishment, for Patricia refused to make up. She did not stay for the after breakfast chat that had become so much to the professor. And after dinner she shut herself In her room and could not be coaxed down to sing the Irish melo dies that had been the delight of the boarders. "It's too bad," the professor said in a worried way to Mary Morris. "Yes," Mary agreed, "but I can't do anything with her. I went to her with tears in my eyes and begged pardon, but she said that you and I were Just alike, that we had Judged her and she would abide by our judgment." "Poor little Pat," said the professor, tenderly. He didn't like to say how- much he missed her, the little friend whom he had come to know in the big boarding house. On Saturday he sent her some flow ers pansies tied with pale purple rib bon, with a little card, "for thoughts." And Patricia had sent him- a -perfunc tory little note of thanks, and had hot worn tne pansies. How could he know that she had slept with them against her cheek, and had pressed two purple ones in her testament It was all very unpleasant and un happy, and it mignt have lasted longer, if it had not been for Mrs. Murdoch. The big landlady told one day a bit of scandal. It related to the husband of a meek little woman, who always ap peared at the breakfast table in a red tea gown. Mrs. Murdoch having breathed her precious bit of news into the ears of a half-dozen spinsters, rejoiced in the flurry of exciting comment. And ex citement lent to her cheeks, when she came in to the Sunday dinner, a red ness that was increased by the warmth of the day. This Sunday meal was a dinner to conjure with. The boarders ate and praised, and Mrs. Murdoch- was just leaning back in her chair, when the husband of the lady who wore the red tea gown burst upon the scene. He went straight up to Mrs. Mur doch, and thundered, "What have you been saying about me to my wife?" Mrs. Murdoch turned pale. Never before had her sins of gossip been brought home to her. "Nothing," she stammered. "You have told enough to make her unhappy. To make her accuse me me what right. had you?" Mrs. Murdoch took refuge in excuse of the weak. "Well, I told "Who told you?' his black swept the board. the was eyes The eyes of the six spinsters met his serenely, not from them had come the first telling of the taie. But Patricia flushed, as the inno cent will at times, with the memory of former sins upon them. The flush caught Mrs. Murdoch's desperate eye. "It seems to me that I heard it from Miss Patricia." she murmured. "Oh," Patricia gasped, but before she could say more, the professor was on his feet. "I think you must take that back, Mrs. Murdoch." His voice was stern. "Miss Patricia is incapable of such a thing. I think every one here will agree to that." "Well," Mrs. Murdoch evaded, "you know she told me about Mary Morris' engagement." "Because you wormed it out of her, and she was too truthful to be able to evade," the professor's tones cut like steel, "and I am sure that if this gentle man will investigate the stories he has heard, he will find that your source of information was outside of the house, but that within the tale has been spread by you, and you alone. "And now," he proceeded "I would suggest that you apologize to Miss Patricia at once, or t shall feel com pelled to give you notice, and I am sure that others will follow. One cannot afford to live where one is likely to be held up in this way." Mrs. Murdoch's tyes glanced warilj about the tabl, saw that popular opinion was with the professor, and surren dered. "Oh, of course," she said, "I was mis taken. It wasn't Miss Patricia." "Thank you," the professor said. gravely, "and now. as we have onlj our coffee to forego, I would suggeat that your boarders withdraw, while you satisfy this gentleman as to the source of your information. He stalked out at the head of a long line, consisting of Mary Morris, and Wllllston and the six spinsters, and, at the very end, Patricia. When they reached the hall there was a .little hubbub of comment and of laughter, under cover of which the professor said to Patricia, "I'd have knocked her down if she had been a man." Patricia's, eyes were shining. --"Oh." she said, "how good you were to de fend me Deiore an uiu "h1" "It wasn't entirely unselfish, the professor admitted. "I hoped I might win forgiveness." And Patricia accorded it. and they went for a walk together In the beauty .v.. ...t.imn twiHa-ht. and when they kuw come back they were engaged.

"Pellagra' Due to Bad Corn,- Say Hos pital Physicians. Washington, Aug. 23. The appearance of a disease, which has been diagnosed by the public health and marine hospital ser vice as "pellagra," Is being used as a basis for sensational articles attacking corn as food. Pellagra Is a disease com mon to European countries, where it is often caused by the use of moldy or otherwise spoiled, corn. The public health service seems to have demonstrated that the strange malady commonly regarded as a skin disease is in fact pellagra. The service Is not prepared to announce that the disease in every in stance is due to the use of moldy or spoil ed corn as food. In an asylum at Peoria, and at other places in Illinois the disease has been found. It causes a peeling of the skin, and while not contagious, is wasting, and unless cured will exhaust the patient in time. Should it be discovered that sufficient grounds exist to issue a general warning against the use of moldy or otherwise spoiled corn that will be done, and the de partment of agriculture will co-operate to the extent of compelling the destruction of corn unfit for human consumption. FARMER KILLED BY MGIITXIXG. Xaivashi, Aug. 23. Theodore Roosevelt and his party had not been expected to reach Saigai-Sai before the 20th instant, but having had success greater than tney anticipated in tne Sotik and Guaso Nyiro county, they decided to come to the lake and try for hippo with Captain Attenborough, R. N, retired, owner of the Saigal-Sal farm. The last few days the party had to make long marches over a practically waterless country and once when they reached a waterhole tney nad oeen making for, they found it was abso lutely dry. Therefore the party had to go Into camp without water. It was found here also that the food supply had almost given out and Europeans and natives alike had to go on helf rations. The party reached the farm on the morning of July 21, but found that Commander Attenborough had gone over to Naivasha for supplies. Mr. Roosevelt, however, was not disturbed by this and the scientists were soon busy- with their guns collecting birds and mammals. The camp was very sandy and dustv. On the 14th the correspondent rode 2." miles on a bicycle to the camp. Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit were out In a launch hippo shooting with. Com mander Attenborough, his brother and Mr. Cunningham. The following day Mr. Roosevelt. Kermit, the Atten boroughs and Mr. Cunningham went out in the launch after hippo. Mr. Roosevelt did fine shooting and bagged a large hippo in a most sportsmanlike manner, shooting It from a iran row boat at close quarters at the moment the beast was charging. The scientists have bagged some fine mammals, monkeys and birds, and Kermit also has secured his nippo. Saigai-Sai has conseqeuntly proved a very successful camping place. Mr. Tarlton rode into NaivashI by moonlight a few nights later and was followed for some miles Dy nve lions. The route around the lake is infested with Hons and there is every chance of the party having some sport when they come in. Mr. Tarlton has gone down to Nai robi to arrange for the expeditions "safari," out to Kenia and Nyeri. The party expects to be away six weeks. Place for His Trophies. Washington, Aug. 23.

The old fight over benzoate of soda is to be overshadowed by the question as to whether state or federal government ought to reg ulate rood laws, it is the contention of some delegates that the "Model state law" as framed by Commis sloner E.

"Twenty-five states have adoDted the federal law without material change." The way to get a model law is not to undo what has been done. but to change the federal laws where defects are found. George McCabe, solicitor of the de partment of agriculture, contends that to change the federal law for the Ladd "Model law would be unwise. The Ladd followers assert that the federal law is not suitable for the needs of all the states. THEY SET HIM CRAZY. Party of Tourists Cause Conductor to Lose His Mind.

The Duke of Xewcastle has arrived here with the intention of making a two months' tour of the United States," particularly visiting western cities. He has heavy mining and timber interests in the Northwest and Canada. He said that his stay here depended upon the budget which is now being considered In the house of commons. He is strongly opposed to the measure, be lieving it to be socialistic and if the house of commons passes it which he believes it will do, he will return to England to vote against it in the house of lords. Speaking of the woman's suffrage movement, which he declared to be a senseless one. he said "To be a good wife and mother is far greater an honor for a woman than to direct the affairs of the na tion. It is in this- sphere that she shines and it is true in every wav that the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that guides the world. But the hand cannot be on the affairs of state and rock the cradle too. She cannot fill both places and do it will. It Is not logical." KANSANS TO HAWAII.

GARBAGE CREMATORY People to Decide Whether City Is to 11 are One. Foils to Be Open From 6 A. M. to 7 P. M. Tomorrow is bond election day. The registration was light so it is hoped that those who are qualified will turn out in force to express an opinion at the polls in regard to the three propo sitions which will come before the voters. The ladies should not forget that they are entitled to vote that is those who have qualified. The propo sitions to be decided will come under Questions No. 1, 2 and 3, the extension of the Melan arch bridge, the mu nicipal garbage plant and the Shunga nunga bridge on Fillmore street re spectively. In connection with the extension of the Melan bridge the people of the North side are almost unanimous for it, and this in the face of the fact that they are already heavily assessed on account of the cost of the construction of the dyke. The estimated cost of extending the bridge south two spans, or 150 feet, is from $20,000 to $22,000. Thirty-nine thousand dollars in bonds are asked for, the balance being for the purpose of. widening the river from the Lakin land to a point below the fcridge and to clean out the waterway. The proposition is as important to the South side interests. The factories on the South side should have protection and as things stand the Parkdale dis trict is always in danger from floods. If the voters decide to extend the bridge, the Rock Island and Santa Fe will also extend their bridges. A Rock Island official recently made the re mark that it would be senseless for this line to extend their bridge unless the city first made a move in that di rection. For years it has been the opin ion that some drastic measure should be taken to relieve the flood situation. Councilman Stanley said this morn ing that what will help one section of the city is also for the best interests of the people at large, and the voters should all turn out to at least express an opinion on the propositions. 1 am strongly in favor of the bridge propo sitions," said the councilman. It was the opinion of the city fath ers when the matter came before them for consideration that a garbage plant is a much needed institution in. the city. The amount in bonds which will be reauired for the construction of such a plant is $17,700. There has been a great deal of complaint that lif has been at times almost unbear able in some of the poorer districts of the city on account of the fact that while the people were peaceiuny slum bering wagon loads of filth would be dumped in the alleys adjacent to their tiroiwrtv. Until this could be removed the odors arising therefrom were anything but pleasing or sanitary. Alter sucn a crematory Is put in thorough work insr order it should be practically a self supporting institution. These plants have been successfully run in other cities and there is no reason why the same would not be the case in ToDeka. The setimated cost of a bridge over The estimated cost of a bridge over is S4.101. The polls will be open at the places or designated in the legal notices as found elsewhere in this issue of the Ktatp Journal from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m. Election Commissioner Titus has had come difficulty In finding a sufficient r.umber of Judges and clerks to offici ate at the polls. The places which are still vacant tomorrow will be filled by voters present who will be sworn in fcv the supervisor. The following are the nlaees still vacant: Republican clerk In first precinct ?Firt ward. Republican clerk in second precinct, TMrst wari Democratic clerk In Third precinct of First ward. Republican clerk in sixth precinct Krrnn ward. Democratic judge and Democratic elerk in sixth precinct. Second ward. Democratic clerk in fifth precinct of the Second ward. Address From Taxpayers' Committee. To the Voters of Topeka The mayor and council have fixed upon next Tues day, August 24th. to vote, along with other questions of public utility, upon the question of issuing $39,000 worth of the bonds of the city, to enable them, by the use of as much thereof as may be necessary, to replace the present south earth approach to the Melan bridge by an open concrete arch ex tending back to the former soulh shor.; line of the Kaw river, increasing the free waterway of the channel the length of this arch. Congress has provided for the re moval of all encroachments on the Kaw river channel at Kansas City by re establishing the former harbor lines, meaning the old shore line of the former 734 foot waterway, and meaning further the assertion of the principle that such encroachments must he re linquished or damages paid for the. loss Of property resulting from such ob struction of the water. The president has directed the read justment of all bridges in harmony therewith and the United States courts are enforcing these requirements. The railroad companies, the stock yard companies and all like interests, are rearranging their properties to comply with these conditions. The United States engineers employed at Kansas City, our own engineers at TopcVa. including the city and eounty engineers, and those employed by th3 railroad companies, have agreed in the reckoning that a river current, a cross section of which would contain about 30,000 square feet would have conveyed the whole volume of water in the flood of 1903. They have also reckoned that if the filling in" of the river bed by the city, in building the south earth ap proach of the bridge, and extending: the north front of the city park, were taken out back to the old shore line, a river channel more than 1,000 feet wide would be restored, which, if carrying iM leet depth of water, would be ample provision against losses by a flood stage vi water like that or 1803. By placing the means necessary for the romoval of these encroachments on the former channel way of the river in the control of the mayor and council, through authorizing the is sue of enough bonds therefor, the city will simply reverse its own error in the former -well meant but unfor tunately mistaken policy of narrow ing the river bed at this point to les sen the cost of bridge construction: and at the same time relieve itself from the responsibility, as set out in the opinion of the city attorney, for the property losses following and con sequent upon the placing of these ob structions in the old channel way. While the estimated cost of this im- provement is $39,000, officials of the county in position to know, have enough information concerning actual prospective bids by the Topeka Bridge company and others, for the construction of this arch, to lead them to believe that the real cost in this case will not exceed $25,000, and that a levy of 50 cents on each thous and dollars of valuation on the tax roll? would pay the bill all off in one tax year. With the withdrawal of the im pediment of this earth approach to the Melan bridge will quickly go all other like encroachment by the other bridges, and an unobstructed water w-ay, 1,000 feet in width, will prevail from the Rock Island yards east- wardly to the Sardou avenue bridge, TAXPAYERS COMMITTEE.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE J OURlTAIf MONDAY EVENING-. AUGUST 23, 1909. 7 -VOTE FOR THE BONDS CREMATOR! AND HELP MAKE TOPEKA THE CLEANEST AND HEALTHIEST CITY IN THE STATE The voting of bonds with which .to build a Garbage Crematory will not add any burden to the taxpayers for the proceeds derived from the opera tion of such a plant will not only be sufficient to pay it's own way, but will also pay the interest and principal of these bonds, therefore when you vote these bonds you do not add to your taxes you merely provide the money with which to build the plant. If you vote for these. bonds you will help to stop the dumping of man ure and rubbish in the low places in the city, close to where the people live you will help to establish a regular, system of garbage collection and disposal. When the tin cans, bottles rubbish and manure piles which now deco rate our alleys and vacant lots are taken away, the breeding places of mos quitoes, flies and other disease breeding insects are removed. When the family garbage can is emptied regularly and often, a nuisance will be abated. All of this will be accomplished if these bonds are voted. The city will be thoroughly cleaned and will be kept clean. All of the garbage of the city will be gathered and disposed of in a san itary manner. '"The benefits that will accrue to this city if the bonds are voted are many and not the least among 'them will be the safeguarding of the public health. Do you want Topeka to be a clean, healthy city? If you do; then do not fail to vote for the Crematory bonds. Remember the Date Tuesday, August 24 VOTE FOR THE CREMATORY BONDS BOYS CRUELLY TREATED.

The requests of manufacturers of bleached flour that no further seizures of bleached flour be made until a test case should have been made were refused today following a conference between Wade Ellis, acting attorney general, and Dr. H. F. Dunlap of the pure food board of the agricultural department. The food experts of the department some time ago decided that bleached flour was in violation of the pure food laws, not so much on the ground of impurity but because of alleged misbranding and the agents of the department were instructed to make seizures of the flour. Counsel for the millers have been seeking to have the seizures discon tinued until a testase could .he, roade. and decided." Today H was determined that the seizures will be continued without regard to a test case. It is not known what percentage of flour now consumed in the country Is put through the bleaching methods. These two processes of bleaching, one by electricity and the other a chemical process, are used nearly altogether. The large millers of the northwest stopped bleaching flour on February 1.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JCTTBTAI.MONDAY EVENPTG, AUGUST 23, 1909. BACK IN TOPEKA. Party That Captured Kidnapers of Marlon Bleakley Return. Their Thrilling Experience in Auto Run to Kansas City. HAD A CLOSE CALL. Caught ths Train While It Was Moving. Great Smith Car Put to a Good Use. The kidnapers of little Marian Bleakley might never have been caught if it had not been for Bee Smith, who drove to Kansas City Sat urday evening with Councilman E. F. Stanley. Detective Hutton and Ser geant Ross of the ponce fores in a Great Smith automobile. The parti returned in the car last night worn ut but pretty well satisfied .vith the part they played in Mie capture of the kidnapers. The trip to Kansas City was at tended by all kinds of excitement in which an automobile party was held tip and the Topeka people were taken for highwaymen, a thrilling ride from Lawrence to Olathe attended by 7 he death of numerous chickens that per sisted in taking a dust bath 'n the road, a ride with a police inspector in which the speed laws of Kansas City were .shattered and the biff oar as given the right of way in the crowded streets and finally hauling the officers and their prisoners to the police station. Saturday afternoon the police de elded that the kidnapers "were head ed toward Kansas City. It was thn known that they had left Topekii in n automobile. Chief Eaton appealed. to Dr. L. Anton Smith, president of the Smith Automobile Company for a car. The only one available was the demonstrator, the car which is a dull gray as it was never paint'jd, ex cept for the priming coat. This was placed at thedisposal of the police and Bee Smith, son of Dr. Smith, was assigned the task of driving it to Kansas City. The car lert Topeka Just before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The run to Lawrence, 2B miles was made in a little over an hour. There the party stopped and communicated with Topeka and it was learned that an automobile with the kidnaped child had been seen on the 'oad be tween Topeka and Lawrence. The party climbed into the car after this delay of half an hour and started on the river road for Kansas City. The car had been seen by people along the Toad and it was supposed to be head lng toward Olathe so the Topeka party turned that way, but when they reached Olathe there was no trace of the car. Hold Up Auto Like Highwaymen Thev stopped for supper and then rtarted for Kansas City. Great was the excitement when a big black car was seen on the road ahead of them and the 3-oung driver opened the throttle of his car ana soon approaon rd near enough to see that there was a little girl in the car. accompanied by two men and a woman. Again the To peka driver speeded up the car and flashed by the party at- a 40-mile clip while the detectives kept their hands on their revolvers. After they had passed the suspicious car 200 yards the Topeka officers Jumped out. the Great. Smith was backed across the road and the detectives awaited the approach of the supposed kidnapers with revolvers and rifle in hand. At the cry of "half the frightened driver stopped his car and the officers approached with their weapons ready for action. As they approached the frightened oc cupants of the car were ready to de liver their money and valuables. They were badly scared for they supposed that they were being held up by high waymen. There was a little girl in the car sure enough but she was at least 12 years old. The party was made up of Kansas City tourists who had been spending the day in the country and they were greatly relieved when they were permitted to go on their way without having to stand and deliver their watches and money. The next stop was made at Ettweiri's garage In Kansas City where a supply of gasoline was se cured and the officers communicated with Topeka by telephone and were told that Under Sheriff Judkins had come down on a train and- wa wait ing at the-central police station. The run to the station was made without regard to the speed regulations and Judkins conveyed the information that the kidnapers were supposed to be on a Burlington train due in Kan sas City in a few minutes. Three Kansas City detectives detailed on the case and Judkins got into the car making eight in all and the driver was told to get to the Burlington bridge where the train would slow up as fast as his car would go. It was a run of about a mile, but notwith standing the heavy load the bridge was reached In two minutes and none too soon at that, for as they ap proached the bridge the headlight of the train was seen just coming onto the bridge. The officers and Mr. Stanley left the automobile and a-11 climbed onto the train although It was in motion and the search for the kidnapers was successful and they were placed under arrest before the train backed into the Union depot and Marian Bleakley was sobbing with her head on Mr. Stanley's shoul der. Meanwhile Bee Smith had been left with his automobile at the Burlington bridge and concluded that he was no longer wanted so he drove to the police station and reported. Chief of Detec tives G. Linus Phippen ordered the driver to go to the union depot in all possible haste. As they left the station the drivers at the market were cleaning up and obstructed the street. The in spector shouted curses and maledic iions upon them and they hurriedly cleared a path for the automobile. "Let her go." shouted the detective and the man needed no second command. As the big car flashed down the street two po licemen ran out and waved their arm to arrest the driver but the chief stood and shouted "Get out of the way" and at sight of his uniform they fell back. The union depot was reached in less time than it takes to tell the story and as the inspector entered the depot the prisoners were just coming through the gale in charge of the officers. Then tne whole crowd was crowded into the car. There were three Kansas City detec tives. Councilman Stanley. Officer Jud kins, Detective Hutton, Sergeant Ross, Chief Ph'ppen, Mrs. Barclay and J. N. Gentry, ."he prisoners and little Marian the kiSfc" .tped child, the driver, B. Smith and tv-' reporters who insisted on ac rompsliVing the party and who rode on ti-ip ringing boar'' making 14' in. a!'- Notwithstanding the load the car climbed the hills as If it had only an ordinary load and the party was land ed at the police station without a nw- nap or any kind. Councilman Stanley's Story. Councilman E. F. Stanley was seen at Ha home. 1031 Garfield avenue, next door to the Bleakley home, last night after his return from Kansas city. "It was the most exciting time I ever had in my life." said he, "and II it hadn't been for the Great Smith car I am confident Marian Bleakley would never have been recovered and we have Dr. Smith "to thank for the capture of the kidnapers and the recovery of the little girl. No matter how heavily the car was loaded It seemed to take the hills as if it was empty and we made time wnen we needed to make it. X naa about eiven ud finding little Marian al ter we had passed through the Burling ton train without finding her. She was with Gentry and Mrs. Barclay in one corner of the parlor car and was sleep ing. She was dressed in an entirely new outfit, including a big white hat and I passed her by when Hutton call ed my attention to the people and asked me if that wasn t the child. I then 100K ed closer and sure enough it was Mar ion and I sat down on the seat and said, Yes, Hutton. this is the little girl.' He then went for -the other detectives who has nassed on. "Neither Mrs. Barclay nor Gentry made any attempt to move but the wo man certainly looked aaggers at me. When the detectives came back they dared the man and woman under ar rest and Marian climbed onto my lap and put her arms around my neck. The man Gentry is the one who stole tne child and knocked Bellnap down witn Lis revolver. The same revolver was in a grip between the seats. The grip was open so that he could get at the gun easily but he made no attempt to use it, though he might nave secureu lr easily after I sat down. The woman seemed only anxious to know if she was in Missouri and made no protest or comment when Marian climbed into my 1hu In the triD up town in tne au tomobile which was loaded until no one else could have hung onto it the child t on mv laD in the front seat. She said nothing whatever on the trip to the police station and seemed entirely tired out. I am glad to be home and am prettv well tired out but happy." Hee Smith's Trying Experience. Bee Smith, who drove the car which enabled the police to capture the kidnapers, was exhausted when he reached Topeka last evening. The wracking drive and the night spent without sleep had proved al-H most too much for turn. When 1 was told that we had to get -to the bridge before the Burlington train reached there I let the car go and we made it by a hair's breadth. The Kansas City police said that the kid napers would undoubtedly hava icot away if we had not got to the bridge in time to get the tram. But the most exciting time of all was the drive from the police station to the Union depot with Chief of Detectives Phip pen. He looked after clearing the street and when he told me to let tjm car go I obeyed and we fairly flew .1 v. prnu-ditl streets. "It seemed like every one who could climbed on the car at the Union depot. There was a large crowd there around the car and I did not inquire who w as on when we started for the station. It was a great experience for me but I do not regret it, I assure you. I am giad that we were able to do some thing to help recover the child for her mother." f SHE HOLDS On. CContinued from Page One.) arresting party and; the prisoners boarded a motor car and were taken to police headquarter. Thpse in the party that made the arrest are J. K. Lyngar and C. T. Lewis, city detectives; Mr. Stanley, J. A. Ross, a police sergeant in To peka. and Ben Judkins, a deputy sheriff in Topeka. "The child is mine legally and all I want is a' chance to prove it' In the Missouri courts," Mrs. Barclay said while in the motor car from the depot tp police headquarters. "I have the adoption papers with me and other papers, too, to prove that I am the child's rightful mother. I love the baby and she "was stolen from me after the courts of Illinois, Missouri and Kansas had awarded her to me. At police headquarters Mrs. Barclay repeated her story to Inspector Boyle and asked him not to send the child back to Kansas. "The courts of Mis souri gave her to me," she said, "and I am sure they will protect me.'.' Gentry Paid by Month. Through a statement given out by Gentry it seems that the plans had been deep laid and the kidnapers had been working on the case .for some time. Gentry said: "I was employed in the case about three weeks ago," Gentry told Inspec tor Boyle.- "My salary was to be 1150 a month and expenses. My Job was to get the child into Missouri so that Mrs. Barclay could get the case into court in the state in which the baby origin ally was adopted. We succeeded when we crossed the state line and my work is now done. I examined the papers in the case before I was employed by r'rs. Barclay and I believe her to be in the right. t As to the other persons in the case I know none of them. We left the motor car in which there was a chauf feur about a dozen blocks from the kidnaping point. We drove In a buggy tne rest or tne distance to the house BACK AT HIS OLD TRICKS. Term In Penitentiary Failed to Re form H. S. Sharpley. Hutchinson. Kan.. Aug. 23. A five year's term in the penitentiary didn't cure Harry S. Sharpley, whose name is prominent in the criminal court record here from indulging in his old pastime of heart smashing for finance's sake Accordingly, he went to Shawnee coun ty. Ingratiated himself In the home of Fred H. Shone, a wealthy farmer, and proceeded to make love to Shone's wife. Mrs. Shone Induced her husband to place 11,500 in the bank in her name, which she drew and then eloped with Sharpley. Mr. Shone was in the city looking up Sharplev's record in the criminal court for the Duroose of gathering evidence to support a petition for divorce, which he has recently filed in snawnee coun ty. Sharplev was once arrested on the charge of bigamy here. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary in November, 1903. The additional charge of obtaining money under false pretenses was placed against him. Sharpley married Miss Delia Hous- inger, daughter or kick Housinger, Child Closely Watched. Gentry was questioned closely by the ivansas city officials regarding the details of the kidnaping but out side of the bare fact that he had help ed to take the baby from her home he would not divulge any facts that would lead to the arrest of anyone else. Inspector Boyle is of the -opin- on that a detective agency 'Of j this city was mixed up in the kidnaping. A revolver and a sandbag taken out of Mrs. Barclay's satchel is believed to belong to a private detective bu reau. That there were other men con nected with the kidnaping of the fa mous Marian Bleakley is not doubted by the police. Gentry Informed the inspector that ten or twelve men were pointed out to himby Mrs. Barclay p.s the persons who would assHrr. The men were shown to him at the Savoy hotel, he said. Most of those men Gentry said he saw near the house In Topeka. 1 He admitted that the motor car was arranged for in Kansas City and that he and Mrs. Barclay, with two chauf feurs, started in it to Toneka from in front of the Mexican Trust building in Kansas City. He denied that he made the arrangements for the car, but said Mrs. Barclay did. He would not say where the automobile belonged, but said it was an Oldsmobile. When Mrs. Barclay was asked if she made the ar rangements, she denied it. Gentry did all of that sort of work, she declared. She was known at the Savoy hotel as Mrs.' Armstrong and occupied room 434. Some time last week. It Is said, a man went to Kansas in the interest of Mrs. Barclay and endeavored to ar range for a settlement on a cash basis. In this mission. It is alleged, the envoy failed. In speaking of the desire for the little girl. Mrs. Barclay said yes terday that she had to save her home but that she was willing to sacrifice everything to gain the custody of Mar ian. The Topeka detectives were extremely fearful lest the baby would be again stolen and spent Saturday night and Sunday morning In an automobile which stood In front of the entrance to police headquarters. Inspector Boyle was also skeptical of leaving the child unguarded and -in refusing; to. allow the mother to spend the night at the station said he wanted to be sure that the child would be there when he re turned in the morning. Around the court house It is the in tention of the county officials to do nothing on the kidnaping case until after Wednesday when the habeas corpus is returnable. "We will lay low until that decision," said Assistant County Bollinger this morning. "There will be no action taken whatever until the habeas corpus matter is clearly out or the way. But the officials are excited over the case and it is the one topic of discus a wealthy farmer residing near Sylvia, in ty, i mnpnlnir T t I. tVi mmht that uctooer, iuis. Alter oorrowins m tne w-hole caso will be settled in Shaw from Mr. Housinger, he announced his intention of going to Wichita on a visit and disappeared. Soon after a woman appeared from St. Louis and proved that she was his first wife. A warrant was Issued for the arrest of Sharpley and he was caught soon after. Mr. Housinger vigorously prosecuted the man. Mr. Housinger's daughter applied for and secured a divorce. Sharpley is a man of more than aver age looks and presents a pleasing ap pearance. He represented himself as an employe of the St. Louis Street Railway company at a salary or iza a month at the time he ingratiated him self into the good graces of the Hous inger family. He said that his father was a wealthy resident of St. Louis. He borrowed the$100saying he was go ing to Wichita to draw J500 out of a bank there. The complaint alleged that everyone of these statements was false. Fred Shone filed suit in the district court here one month ago. He charged abandonment. His petition alleged that on request of his wife, he gave her 11,- 500 with the understanding that she re linquished all property rights in his estate. AUTO ACCIDENT MAY COST LIFE. E. E. Xenby of Garden City Perhaps Fatally Injured. Garden City. Kan.. Aug. 2 3. E. E. N'ewby, an agent for the Great West ern Land company, whose headquar ters are at Indianapolis, Ind., suffered a dislocation of the spinal column while on an automobile trip near here. Tne car stopped on a bridge north of Holcomb. and Mr. Newby got out to adjust a piank which was out of place. The car started as he stepped on the footboard and lurched off the bridge and a canopy support struck him in the back of the neck as he was climb ing in. Although the accident proved painful at the time. Mr. Newby did not notice that anything" serious had happened., and it was not until two hours later that the real nature of the Injury was known. A doctor was call ed to Holcomb and an examination made which revealed that -one of -the spinal bones in the neck was out of place.

"This is of as much interest as the Collins case and we are going to see it through," said one of the officials. Norton Is Disgusted.. Sheriff Norton was disgusted when interviewed this morning. "To think that a gang of thugs can come to To peka from Kansas City, arrange a hit and knockout deed, break into one of our private homes, assault and seri ously injure a visitor and steal from the very floor the baby it makes the blood of the average man grow hot with a fever to lay his hands on the wrongdoer. This" matter will be brought right to this court house and the guilty parties will suffer their penalties right from our judges." A little "dope" has been collected on the head of the kidnaper. J.' N. Gen try by Sheriff Norton. According to the career of this socalled thug as handed down down to the sheriff from the Kansas City officials yesterday. It is said at Kansas City that Gentry is the slickest and the most treacherous gambler and all around "sport" in Kansas City. He is a well known character to the police of that city and they were not surprised at the action performed Saturday. They stated to' the sheriff that he would put up a mighty strong fight in the coming case and it would take a good brigade of lawyers to put him behind the bars. He seems to have plenty of money and combines his wealth with a natural tendency to escape from the fangs of the law. WEIGHED POUND EIGHT OUNCES Marian BIrakley's Mother Was Told She had Died Following Birth. Mrs. Ora Thompson, mother of Mrs. Bleakley, told the following story con cerning the birth and experiences of the little girl: "Her life has been a remarkable one. When she was born she weighed only one pound and eight ounces. It was thought by the physician who attend ed her that she could not live. That was at the Merrifleld sanitarium in St Louis.- Marian was so tiny that the nurse said she could not live and whoa I arrived at the bedside of my daugh ter, I was told that the child was dead. Instead of that she had been given to the Incubator company at the World's fair. where she remained throughout the summer before we learned that she till lived. After we brought suit for possession and. won the case in the Illinois courts we found her with Mrs. James B.- Barclay at Moiine, 111. Mrs. Barclay was working at the fair grounds and took a great fancy to the child. My daughter was cruelly forced to sign her name to adoption papers and this device lost possession of Mar ian. When my daughter told me what had been done and at her Instigation we immediately brought action In ttae courts and the decision was In our favor. "Since that time life has hardly been worth living for any of us. Wo felt that Mrs. Barclay would give up then and be satisfied to have the child with its mother. But it seemed that the trouble only began with us then. Since that time we have been annoyed with secret service men, spies, kidnapers and we live in constant fear that something will happen to the child. No one will know what we have gone through. We are afraid, to live in a house unless there are others living there for fear of an attack." MRS. BLEAKLEY IN LAWRENCE. Was Married Near There While Teach big; School. Lawrence, Aug. 23. The kidnaping of the incubator baby is of the greatest interest in Lawrence, for the entire set ting of this most interesting and dra malic fight for the possession of the lit tle babe is centered around Lawrenc Mrs. Bleakley, then Miss Thompson was a teacher in a Leavenworth coun ty school Just north of Lawrence, hur mother living in the 900 block on In diana Etreet. There she met Joe Bleakley, a son of Commissioner Bleakley, of Leaven worth county. They were wedded, and but a few months after the ceremony Mrs. Bleakley went to St. Louis to work at. the fair. Here, in a private nospitai, she gave birth to the child the possession of which has been bit terly contested in the courts of two states. Mrs. Bleakley was told that her babe was dead, and left the hospital after a long sickness,- sorrowing and broken hearted. The child; so the Bleakleys claim, aid live and was placed in an incubator at the World's Fair. Here follows one of the strange stories of a woman s love, mysterious and inex plicable. Mrs. Stella Barclay, a wealthy wo man of Moiine, 111., e-oes to the fair aauyano watoned the little Daoy ngnt- ng for life in the incubator. She be comes greatly attached to it and flnallv gets permission of the hospital to adopt it. She comes to Mrs. Bleakley then at Leavenworth to get her to sign adoption papers in order to secure legal possession or the child but represent ing that Airs. Bleakley was not in reality the mother of the child. Mrs. Bleakley signs the papers, but then suspicions arise in her mind that maybe it really was her babe and that it had not died in the hospital, as re ported. With the love of a mother, who, deprived of the solace of a happy nome. sne pours out all her affection for this little child in a bitter fight in Illinois, secures it from Mrs. Bar clay, the court deciding that she was me legal motner. The scene now changes to Kansas. Mrs. Barclay, seem in el v stransrelv fascinated by this little one. blights the happy home of the mother and child here, by starting proceedings to recover the child. The case was heard in February of 1906, before Judge Smart here.. All Lawrence watched with in terest the battle for the little one and their hearts go out- to the real mother, Mrs. Bleakley. After a heart-rendin sensational trial. Judge Smart gives the child to Mrs. Barclay. the mother goes: wild with ETlef and to assuage this, Jndge Smart lets her take the child to-her -home tintil after 6 o'clock. When Sheriff Ruck Woodward went to the home to rob the mother of the little one, he found the mother and child gone. It developed later that some K. .U. boys, among them Senator Fred Dumont Smith's son, had helped the mother to. escape. She flees to Illinois where the court has decided in her favor, but finally comes back to Kansas on a compro mise. An ineffectual effort was made to kidnap the child at Sedan Kansas, last winter, but the mother fought bravely and saved it. Since then she has been living- in Kansas City and. Toneka. euardimr carefully the life of the little babe, who has grown into a beautiful child of six years. NIGHT OF RIOT. (Continued from Page One.) TAFT HAD A BUSY DAY. Could Not Find Time to Church Yesterday. Go to Beverly, Aug. 23. The cares of state weighed too heavily on Presi dent Taft Sunday to permit more than an hour's absence from the summer White House. Even church attendance was omitted in the interests of humanity, for during the. forenoon a long list of pardon cases were considered. In the afternoon Secretary MacVeagh and Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary the the Navv Mever r discussed for an hour or more the personnel of the new tariff board changes in the interstate commerce and anti-trust acts and some economic measures in the navy de partment- The makeup of the new. tariff board was -discussed in detail and a list of forty or more names for the three places was examined. The president paused over the name of J. B. Reynold, assistant secretary of the treasury, and it is thougnt prob able that the Massachusetts tariff rate expert may be further considered. Regarding the proposed changes in the interstate commerce act, it is stated that the administration will try to relieve the board from the work of investigating rates and alleged viola tions of the act and shift such labors to the department of commerce. After a long consideration of the Sherman anti-trust act and in the light of hundreds of decisions, the administration is firm in the convic tion that only the most carefully con sidered changes in even the wording of the different sections of the act can be suggested to congress, and that those suggestions should deal only with the application of cases which it is believed were never in contemplation by the framers of the orignal statute. The retrenchment plans wnicn Secretary Meyer has inaugurated in the navy department are expected to take definite shape before congress meets, through the report of the three boards which are making rigid Investigations along such lines. HAND TORN OFF BY A FAN. A rigid search Is being made for dyn- 'are quantity or. which is re ported to be in the possession of the strikers. A force of deputy coroners has been dispatched to McKee's Rocks with In structions to ascertain if possible the identity of the instigators of the trou ble. Practically tho entire county detec tive force has been sent into the strike zone for the first time since the In ception of the trouble. Fought In Her House. Pittsburg,- Pa., Aug. 23. Mrs. Michael Nestor of McKee's Rocks, reported-to Lieutenant Smith of the state constabulary today that last night during the rioting 15 members of the mob had forcibly entered her apartments while she .was on another noor visiting friends and the men had crawled under beds, into closets and hidden behind furniture. A snnari of state troopers pursuing the fleeing rioters entered the apartment and locked the doors behind- them. Mrs. Nestor said the troops then dragged the men from their hiding places and one by one beat them un mercifully with their three foot hick ory clubs, m the melee, beds were torn apart ana ripped up; mirrors were smashed and the furnishings of tne nai more or less demolished. The woman was informed that her only recourse was to sue the county of Allegheny for damages. Shortly before noon. Sheriff Gum bert stated he would not announce until late today whether he would ask the governor for additional armed forces. In going over the riot ground deputy sheriffs found two unex ploded bombs which had been thrown during the disorders. Two state troopers are dying in a hospital. It was first believed their wounds were not serious. Trooper Williams, who was killed, joined the constabulary from Monterev. Cal. He was a scout under General Law- ton. CluY-ago Grain Market.

Nobody Seems to Want the Responsi bility at McKee's Rocks. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 23.- With the ex ception of a clubbing of a physician. who loitered longer than the state troopers thought wise, there was no violence of any sort today at the plant of the Pressed Steel Car company in McKee's Rocks. The death list result ing from last, night's rioting remains at 6, but there are four men in hospi tals whose recovery Is doubtful. The streets of McKee s Rocks were deserted at noon today save for a few mounted state troopers who with car bines unslung, patrolled the streets on horseback to prevent strike sympathiz ers from congregating. McKee's Rocks presents a scene ana logous to a beleaguered city. No busi ess is being transacted. The quietness of the situation, however, indicates any thing but a spirit of peace. While the strike sympathizers are not being lowed to mobilize it is believed that be hind the closed doors of their homes they are but waiting for the cover of darkness again to resume their violent disorders of last night. Captain Marsh, commanding the state constabulary, and Addison C. Gumbert, sheriff of Allegheny county, communicated with Governor Stuart to day regarding the advisability of bring ing either companies of the. National Guard of eastern Pennsylvania or more state constabulary from the mining dis tricts into McKee s Rocks. The officers here believe they can control the situ ation if granted a few additional dep uty sheriffs and mounted troopers. The Pressed Steel Car company offi cially turned over its plant to the coun ty sheriff at noon today. The sheriff n turn has placed the responsibility for the protection of life and property in the hands of Captain Marsh of the state constabulary, who has under him 115 deputies and troopers.

Pour fingers were severed and the bones in the hand mangled so that amputation Was necessary. The fan was- demolished. Garden City, Kan., Aug. 23. J. M. Duncan may die as the result of a run away accident. Duncan left the Knox tarm on wnicn he is employed, driving a team of young mules. When he reached town the animals were covering ground at a lively clip. Soon they became unman ageable and he was unaoie to noia them. On Seventh street opposite the resl dence of W. M. Lowderman he was thrown violently off of the seat into the bed of the wagon. The lines were lost and he then attempted to climb out be hind. A sudden lurch of the team threw him headlong to the ground. Those who witnessed the accident quickly carried the unconscious form to Lowderman's lawn and a doctor was summoned. At first It appeared that he had been instantly killed but Investiga tion proved that his breath came in ir regular gasps. The right cheek bone was fractured and depressed, the forehead was badly lacerated and most serious of all was concussion of the brain which resulted from the fall. T0JL1'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, Aug. 23. WHEAT Lower ca bles and liberal receipts in the southwest caused weakness in the wheat market here today. Selling was general at the start and demand was scattered. Mod erate rains were reported in the north west, but they were not sufficiently gen eral to cause any apprehension.

The rise was extended among tne spec ialties and some of the railroads before the market became undermined by the heavv selllnsr of Reading and Union Pa cific. Previous advances were in many in stances wiped out and a good proportion of the list was forced below Saturday's final prices. Reading sold 2 points under last week's close. New York Central 1. United States Rubber 1. Union Pacific 1. Southern Pacific 1. and St. Paul, Kansas City Southern and Denver and Klo Grande 1.
