Asks Governor Hadley to Honor the Requisition. Says That Kidnapers Are in No Danger of, Mob. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 27. The hearing of the petition of the governor of Kansas for the return of Mrs. J. M Barclay and J. M. Gentry to Kansas for trial on the charge of kidnaping Marian Bleakley, the incubator baby, was held before Acting Governor Gmelich today The decision was taken under advise ment.

Attorneys for Mrs. Bleaklty charged that assault, kidnaping and burglary had been committed, and affidavits were introduced show-ing that a fair trial .v.ou!d be given in Kansas. The decision will be announced within a few days. Governor Stubbs' Appeal. Governor Stubbs today did n rather unusual thing when he telephoned to Governor Hadley at Jefferson City urg ing the Missouri governor to honor the Kansas requisition papers for the re. turn of "Irs. Barclay and Joe Gentry, the incubator baby kidnapers to this Hate for trial, but the circumstances 1n the case warranted the governor's action. Yesterday a representative of the Barclay interests sought to secure evi dence in Topeka to show that there was danger of mob violence against the ebductors if they were brought back to Kansas for trial. This evidence was to be used in Jefferson City today in the hearing before Governor Hadley in the matter of the requisition. Governor Stubbs told Governor Had ley today over the phone that there was not the slightest danger of mob violence here against the abductors of the incubator baby nor was there any Inflamed sentiment that would tend to influence the courts in the trial of the case. Gov Stubbs added that he hoped the Missouri governor would see fit to honor, his (Stubbs) requisition and send the prisoners back to Kan sas to answer for their crime against the law-s of this state; that, placed' in a similar position to Gov. Hadley in this matter, he would not hesitate to honor a Missouri requisition for criminals with such a plain case against them. The personal appeal by Governor Stubbs in this matter will likely have its influence in the requisition hear ing before Gov. Hadley today. The requisition question is being argued before Governor Hadley to day. Mrs. Barclay Is Free. Kansas City, Aug. 27. Mrs. Stella Barclay, held here on a charge of kid naping five-year-old Marian Bleakley at Topeka, Kansas, last Saturday, was released last night from custody on $3, 000 bail furnished by Stephen H. Velie, a Kansas City business man. The necessary papers were approved late last night "by Judge E. E. Porter field of the circuit court and Mrs. Bar clay was at once released from the matron's room at police headquarters where she had been held since her ar rest Saturday night. The woman and her husband, James G. Barclay, went at once to the unio i station, where they boarded a train for Jefferson City shortly before midnight. Their purpose in going to Jefferson City is to try to prevent the issuance of requisition papers for Mrs. Barclay's return to Topeka for trial. They will be present when a hearing on the ap plication for a requisition is held be fore Governor Hadley today. There was some argument over the amount of the bond but Judge Porter field finally yielded to the entreaties of the woman's counsel and fixed the amount at $3,000. B. F Peek, an attorney of Moline. Illinois, executor of the estate of John Ieere. the millionaire immplement man ufacturer, arived inKansasCIty to lead Mrs. Barclay's legal battle for posses sion of the child and against extra dition to Kansas. He has represented the woman in all of the numerous legal actions which have grown out of the controversy over the possession of the famous "incubator baby." The incubator baby has now been in litigation for more than five years and the records of the case, which are most ly court records, reveal one of the oddest of legal entanglements. The chronology of the case as gathered from Mr. Peek's data follows: April 22, 1904 The baby Is taken from the maternity hospital of a Mrs. Merri field in St. Louis and received as th first exhibit in the Baby Incubator Show at the St. Louis World's Fair. October. 1904 Mrs. Stella Barclay, whose husband is in charge of th John Deere exhibit at the World's' Fair, de cides to adopt the baby, after learning that it will become a public charge after the close of the World's Fair. Talks to her husband about adopting the baby and he agrees, stipulating, however, that she must ascertain the identity of the baby's parents and ob tain their consent. A few days later Mrs. Barclay con sults with the management of the In cubator Baby show and finds that the only clew to the identity of the baby's parentage is in a remark passed by a visitor, who said that It was a Mrs. Bleakley' s baby. During the last week of the World's fEir, Mrs. Barclay calls on Mrs. Mer rifleld and asks for the identity of the baby's parents. Mrs. Merrifleld, at first leluctant, finally tells Mrs. Barclay to go to Lawrence. Kan., and seek "the t'aughter of Ora Thompson. Karly in November. Mrs. Barclay en gaged an attorney to draw up papers of adoption an. with these sent a man to Lawrence and found that the daugh ter of Ora Thompson was Mrs. Ora Bleakley. Mrs. Bleakley then said that she l.ad been at the maternity hospital of Mrs. Merrifleld, but that her baby w as born dead. Mrs. Bleakley, who was livinjr apart from her husband, consulted her father in-law, and he advised her not to sign the papers. Letter the father-in-law- went to St. Louis, authorized to war rant the adoption of the baby, provided identity was established. The father-in-law turned over the papers of adop tion, but at the time, according to Mrs Barclay, did not express his opinion as to whether the baby belong to Mrs. Bleakley. In November several letters were ex changed between Mrs. Barclay and Mrs. Bleakley, the latter, it is asserted, ask ing Mrs. Barclay not. to file the adop tion, papers as she did not want the publicity of it. Mr. and Mrs. Barclay formally take possession of the baby and return to their home in Moline, 111. In June, 1905. Mrs. Barclay learns that Mrs. Bleakley is planning to reclaim the baby. Mrs. Bleakley goes to Moline and brings habeas corpus proceedings for the recovery of the -child, Mrs. Barc lay in the meantime having gone to St. Louis and recorded the adoption pa pers. The circuit court of Moline rules that the Barclays are not entitled to the child on the ground, first, that the adoption papers were not recorded in Missouri, as provided by law, and that a Missouri adoption was illegal in that the Bleakleys were residents of Kansas. Mrs. Bleakley recovers the child in July. 190 5, returns with it to Law rence, the Barclays appealing the case to the Illinois court of appeals. In January, 1906, while the Illinois case is pending, Mrs. Barclay brings habeas corpus proceedings in the dis I trict court at Lawrence. Mrs. Merri- fle,d and a Dr Curey who were present at the birth of the baby, testi- fied. and the Kansas court rendered a verdict in favor of Mrs. Barclay. Mrs. Bleakley, by a ruse, escapes with the baby on the same day that the district court decides the case against her. An appeal is taken and the Kansas supreme court sustains Mrs. Bleakley on the ground that the district court at Lawrence should have respected the decision of the Illinois lower court. A week after the Kansas snpreme court had made its ruling, the Illinois court of appeals reversed the case begun at Moline. ruling that the Barclays were legally entitled to custody of the -baby. Mrs. Barclay then begins a search for the baby, but is unable to locate it until last Saturday, when detectives. In her employ. traceJ the child and its mother to Topeka. Mrs. Barclay kid naped the baby and came to Kansas City, followed by Mrs. Bleakley. XEAR THE $300 MARK. Marian Bleakley Fund Is Continuing to Grow. It is expected that the Marian Bleakley fund will reach $300 before evening. It is now $295.00. Contribu tions are coming in from. around the state -where the news has just im pressed the people and it is thought that a large amount from this source will come in before the end of the week. The three little girls. Mohra Gat chell, Lillis Crummer and Helen Lu cas and the two little boys, Merrell Rutter and Lucian Plrrell, -who gave a' lawn social on Fillmore street last night for the benefit of the mother and the child who are in Kansas City awaitng their fate, cleared $35 with the event. People came from all over the city and the curb in front of the lawn was lined up with automobiles and car riages. Every bit of ice cream, cake, and punch was served out before the big part of the crowd had arrived. Several people gave neat little sums to the children and would not ac cept change.

The Zeppelin III, passed over Ulm at 6:45 this morn ing. The airship was flying low, and its screws were buzzing like monstrous hornets. A weighted en velope was dropped at the edge of the town, containing tne ioiiuwiuk message from Chief Engineer Duerr: "Everything is in good condition. Heidenheim. Aug. 27. The Zep pelin airship was sighted from here at 7:03 a. m. Voerdlinsren Aug. 27. The Zeppel in III, passed over Noerdlingen at S.ftO this rrrorning. traveling against a strong wind and the violent gusts shook it from end to end and carried it out of its course. Steerage, however, was recovered ultimately. Engineer Duerr threw out a telegram here addressed to En gineer Schwartz, giving notice of the intention to land at iNuremoers. From the observations of those be low, the massive craft appeared to be running smoothly. Nuremberg, Aug. 27. The Zeppeli-k airshirj landed at Ostheim, near tnis citv at 11:45 a. m. to take on water and ballanst and fit a new propeller. The airshio started again at 2:30 p. m. proceeding in the direction of Nuremberg.

It Is Believed They Will Stand No Chance in Speed Trial. Betheny Aviation Field, Rheims, Aug. 271 The aerial races now in progress here are daily arousing in- prftaspii interest and excitement r, it tt. .u i flocking hither from all parts or tne continent. The American contingent is large and many Americans traveling in other countries are abandoning their original plans in-order to witness some of the performances of this historic week.- Everybody is enthusiastic and the spectators declare the sight of the beautifully winged airships flying steadily for hours seems like a dream. The program-for today includes the finals in the grand Prix De La Cham pagne, or competition for the greatest distance covered without taking on fresh supplies of fuel and oil, which, carries the largest prize of the meet ing. The record is now .95.88 miles, made by Latham yesterday in 2 hours, 18 minutes, 9 3-5 seconds, and the con test today promises to be exciting. The sporting blood of the sky pilots is up. Louis Paulhan, whose record fell before Lathams performance of yesterday declared today he did not propose to allow Laxnam to carry oft the prize and the Wright managers have decided to mane a desperate ef fort to regain their lost prestige. Lat ham himself has announced he will try to beat his own record. Paulhan with a tank carrying 90 litres of gasoline, enough to last him for five hours, went up shortly Before 11 o'clock, but his oil feeder was not working well and he alighted for re pairs after having traveled a couple of miles. The contest tomorrow tor the interna tional cup known otherwise as the Gordon Bennett trophy, to go to the aviator who covers two laps, or 12.42 miles, in the shortest time, is regarded as the principal event of aviation week. Both the Wright and the English ma chines are considered too slow to stand ajiy chance, and the contest conse quently lies among Bleriot, Curtiss and Latham. Bleriot's big machine is being fitted up with new .wings and propellers, and the pilot announces he will try out his aeroplane thi3 afternoon. Both Bleriot and his engineer, arree that the motor was not damaged yesterday when the machine ran into a fence surrounding the tribunes. Cortlandt F. Bishop, president of tlw Aero Club of America, and Roger wal lace, president of the Aero Club of Great Britain, had a conference this morning on the decision of the commit tee to allow Bleriot to allow a machine in the race for the international cuo other than that with which he qualified. They decided that the issue raised con cerned the French flyers only, and if the other contestants were satisfied the foreigners had no reason to protest. Glenn H. Curtiss this morning filed a formal protest against his penalization of one-tenth of his time In the contest for the Prix De La Vitesse, on the ground that he was distinctly informed no penalty would be inflicted if he did not start Sunday. He is willing, how ever, to accept a penalization of one twentieth for his failure of Tuesday as most of his competitors received simi lar handicaps. While making his second start Paulhan had an accident, apparently due to his attempt to launch his ma chine Into the air before It had ac quired sufficient speed. The biplane left the ground In response to the horizontal rudder, but it encountered a strong puff on the beam, heeled over and was forced back to the earth. The planes on the left side crumnled ud like cardboard. Paul han explained thaj. the 'real cause of nis misnap was uetuur xie mttuc ,j avoid De LaGrange, 'who -was coming toward him.-- He said he expected to be able to make another start later In the day.

Low, a prominert Kansas attorney, was filed in the dis trict court by W. J. McNeil and E. H. Pearce. The suit is to set aside a deed to a piece of oil property located near Dewey.

Without uenver, coio., Aug. Z7. Taking a view differing from that the Remsen referee board, manufacturers before the convention of the state and na tional food and dairy departments to day argued that benzoate of soda is no longer necessary as a food pre servative. "In fact the manufacturers are coming to the belief that no pre servatives at all need be used," de clared one speaker. "The public seems to be arriving at the same conclusion. Why should we have chemicals in our food if by processes of sterilization and refrigeration they can be done with out? While the government through the referee board has been carrying out its experiments to show that benzoate is not harmful, a great many manufacturers have been ex perimenting to show that food can be put up without chemicals at all."

Wichita, Kan.. Aug. 27. Wichita. sports will be right at the door If an effort to null off the Jenfiea-Johiianni fight In Oklahoma is successful. Jon Miller of Miller's ranch has made ai great offer if his 101 ranch will bn designated by the contestants, and there is some probability that it will be. The offer made by the Millers is thn most liberal yet received, and it seems) almost certain that the great go will be pulled oft there. If the proposition is accepted, thn Miller boys will erect at the ranch ant- enormous auditorium with a seating; capacity of at least 100,000 for the- accommodation of the great crowd that Is expected to attend. The ranch is an ideal place for the contest, and there is no question that the matter will be handled with en tire satisfaction to all, should it be taken there. A special dispatch from Kalamaaon, Mich., to the New York Evening Sun says: The largest legitimate offer that has yet been made for the proposed Jef fries-Johnson glove fight- was- wired here by Joseph Miller, an Oklahoma. ranchman. Miller, in company with, his brothers, states that they would offer a purse of (76.000 cash for the big go. The rancher is reported to have prepared a certified check for S25.000 and to have declared his will ingness to place it in any bank named by the managers of the pugilists. This proposition was advanced by Miller as an evidence of good faith. The new bidder-In the Held also stated that he would deposit the 7E.- 000. if so reauested by the fighters. Ho desires to stage -the contest in Okla homa and plans to build a big audi torium and to prepare all the detail of a big contest. If the bout should be stopped for any reason, which Is highly Improbable, the entire 75,000. will be given to the fighters. In the event of his terms being acceptable to the men. It is Miller s- ambition to try to arrange the bout for the middle next April. In speaking of his offer, Mr. Mlller said: In the event of my bid appealing to Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson I will deposit the $76,000 purse in any bank that they may choose. It is my am bition to have the big fight come to. Oklahoma, and I will do everything In. my power to bring it about. I have, been considering the project for some time with my brothers, and we de cided to make our Intentions public. I can not see where any other western state could offer better facili ties for the bout than Oklahoma. We

Millers WUI Make a Fight on Bleached Flour Issue. St. Louis, Aug. 17. Millers of the country, who use patent devices for bleaching flour by means of nitrogen peroxide, have begun the' collection of a fund of $30,000 to be used in fighting the government In defense of miTlers who may be prosecuted for selling bleached flour. W. K. Castle, of Louis ville, Ky, president of the Millers' Na tional Federation, is chairman of the defense committee. The millers are raising their fund by taxing each user of the patented machinery, 25 cents a barrel. The company, which controls the patents, will add $50,000 to the mil lers' fund.

Rasty never had his wit Tea breaking in better fashion, and In the early stages of the game the Boosters were well nigh helpless. Not '.until th fourth inning was his de 'livery punctured for a hit. And not jntfl the eighth did he allow enough !for the gam to get dangerous. But ftbat kind of pitching he did yesterday Wlzcpty got on the nerves of the fans. Hasty was always in the hole with three balls and two strikes, and how Ihe managed to pile up eight strikes outa on this kind of pitching Is hard te ratnom, I Until the eighth inning the Boosters Iliad accumulated but three hits and jail of these were scattered through as bnany innings. In this Inning, Artie (Bader, with one down hit to center jfield for two bases. The ball bounded (away from Wooley or would have been (bat a single. Lang- singled and Bader 'was neia on tnird. Then to nil tne i bases Rasty walked Dalton after two strikes had been called. Colligan pasted a nice one to Kunkei who naii ld Bader at the plate. But Chink Mat tlck hadn't hit yet and the ball drop fped between Wooley, Landreth and 'Anderson and Lante and Dalton scored. Dwjer walked again, filling the bases. But Niehofr fanned and the trouble was over. Kerner opened the ninth with a. single and took sec ond on Williams' sacrifice, but the best Bader and McGregor could do was to popup to the infielders. Iron Man Lange opposed Sir Rasty and pitched a good game. Freak playing by his support contributed to the Topeka victory. He was hit harder than Wright but his hits were well scattered and he was decidedly effective in the pinches. For example take Butch Kerns. This slugging backstop scored three hits, but the only time he came up in a pinch he fanned. Kunkei was up in a pinch three times and failed to deliver. In fact the only pinch hltswere scratches by Anderson and Landreth. The first run was scored in the first inning. Wooley walked and Anderson hit one which taking a peculiar hop dribbled through Dwyer's underpin ning. Williams got over and fielded the ball. In attempting to cut Wooley oft at third the throw went wild and Lijah scored. With none out no one could bring Anderson to the counting station. Two men were on In the fourth with ,feut one out,- but Kerns fanned and Wright hit a grounder to Williams. In "the fifth Landreth hit a foul to Nle hoff with two on and two down. But the game was stored away In the eighth. Wooley beat out a bunt and took second on a passed ball and third on Anderson's sacrifice. Kunkei .-walked and stole second. Landreth's ihit bounced all over Dwyer and Wooley scored. Lange threw to catch (Wooley napping but Dwyer let the ball tsret away, Kunkei scoring what proved !to be the winning run. In the second Inning Catcher Frank McManus of the Des Moines team met with a serious accident which will eep him out of the game for several days right at the time when his ser vices are badly needed In the fight for ,the pennant. Kahl bit a foul tip .which caught McManus between the second and third fingers on his right mand, splitting it. This Is the second Injury to McManus hand in the same fplace this season. The Toneka fans who like McManus for all his faluts, and for all his many good qualities, were sympathetic and greatly regret ted the accident. Two more games with the Boosters and then the big double bill with Omaha Sunday. Boles is due to work itoday against either Miller or Mc hOregor. Darrah or Thomason may get Vl chance at the enemy tomorrow. The official score: TOPKKA. Players AB. R. H PO. A.

For effective ness in the pinches Lange was great yesterday. The victory of yesterday puts us in the first division by a margin or one run. Denver made twelve errors while the locals made none. Young McGrath won the game that put us in first place, if there is any consolation in that. There was a bit of ragged fielding in the eighth inning that put Wright to the bad more than he deserved, Each of the three hits could have been stopped with a little more gin gery work than was displayed. Spencer Arthur Abbott cut up around that first sack yesterday. Once by a prettv stoo he deprived Dwyer of a nit. .so player on tne -lopeica team Is playing a more consistent game than this venerable hard worker. Wooley made three good catches which with an average fielder would have been passed off as base hits. Lincoln 11. Denver 2. Denver, Colo., Aug. 27. Tester day's game between Lincoln and Den ver was a burlesaue on the part of the Grizzlies who made a new world's record for number of errors in a single game. Twelve errors was the portion for the day. Adams was taken out in the fourth inning for general ineffectiveness and Berger who relieved him was not much bet ter. Not a run scored by the Links was earned, an error figuring at some stage of its incubation. The work of GagnieiS in the field and at the bat was the feature of the game. The score DENVER.

Des Moines at Topeka. Omaha at Wichita Lincoln at Denver. Sioux City at Pueblo. Wichita seems to have the first base problem solved temporarily at least. Old Buck Weaver has re covered from his asthma sufficiently to perform at that corner for the Holland crew. Holland now has two other catchers in Jokerst and Arm strong. Wolf, who caught for the Topeka team -awhile in 1908. has been pur chased from the Macomb, 111., team by George Tebeau who will give him a spring workout at Kansas City. Omaha Bee: It is doubtful if any year of late has witnessed as many exchanges and purchases of players. There is evidence that the big league stock Is running low and the minors are rising. It is a question if the practice of publishing the names and prices of players so far in advance is a wise one. It has tendency to create dissatisfaction and lead to annpying complications. Jefferson Davis Clarke has won but one of the four games in which he has worked since joining the Holmes team. This makes Bill Dwyer feel exceptionally fine, for this is one pitcher he shoved over onto Ducky. The last time the Boosters were here it was as a sixth place team. There are hardly any changes in the line-up, only an additional pitcher or two, but the team is putting up an awful battle to retain possession of first place. Secretary Byrne of Des Moines has wired for Catcher Lewis to report, now that McManus has been hurt. There will be a double header with Omaha here Sunday. This event will doubtless draw a larger crowd than the one of last Sunday. The Santa Fe will put on the same train service from Emporia up, and will also hold the Atchison and St. Joseph train un til after the game. Des Moines Capital: Did you ever notice the placid attitude assumed even in the most hair-raising crises by "Peaceful Bill" Dwyer? The Des Moines manager is as rarely on the rampage as a day in June. Things move quietly around Bill, but the fans like that better. particularly since it is very noticeable that they move. Dwyer with his molasses style and "Ducky" with his bromo-seltzer form, make a curious pair of man agers, and in their methods they are as far apart as the poles, but in the results today they are three points apart. The Lincoln News assures its read ers that the new owners are still try ing to land Billy Smith, formerly of Atlanta, as manager. It is also re ported in the News columns that Lin coln will make an effort to get Hamil ton Patterson, the former Pueblo manager. Lincoln News: Walter Boles must be some pitcher. The way he scat tered those hits and held Davy from smashing even a single safety con vinces us that he has a bright future before him, even If not behind him. Des Moines Tribune The disease most dreaded in baseball, slumpltis, attended with the worst complication, no-hit-the-ball-ltis, has seized the Des Moines baseball team. It seems to be in the Colorado atmosphere and only a change of climate will do the team any good. The doctors are working heroically over the case, however, and it is possible that with in the next few hours a rapid change for the better may occur. Yes, a fine, larged sized slump seems to have struck the Des Moines camp amid sections and scattered every thing helter skelter. It has most cer tainly bumped theteam a flying off the top rung and given the proud position to the "Fisherman" Holmes. Holmes recently stated that the race was all over but the shouting for Sioux City and that he could go fish ing now. Des Moines and Omaha hope to be able to keep him from his favorite haunts for some time yet, however. What is the matter with Des Moines? The pitching, fielding and batting have all slumped a few points. The team went at breakneck speed for six long weeks; came up from sixth place to first without hesitating or breaking in the least. Why shouldn't there be a slight slump? Why shouldn't there be a re action for a time? It Is perfectly natural. But the boys will soon Jump into their stride again and settle down for the great fight that Is going to occur in the Western league pennant. It is not time to give up the good ship Des Moines yet. Indeed, not! Old Pop Eylar, a former Lincoln pitcher, and a resident of Strong City, Kan., is pitching for the Clumbus, Ga., team in the South At lantic league. Dick Rohn is now playing in the South Atlantic league, having been disposed of by the Atlanta manage ment. Dick's trouble is that he is too slow. He is all right when he hits the ball a mile but he can't run and his noodle is hardening with the years. Dicky Bayless is still with the Atlanta team and is playing a great game both with the stick and in the field. Lincoln News: House, the crack Indian outfielder, may yet wear a Lincoln uniform. He is now playing with the Sacramento club of the Pa cific coast league. House, who was signed by the local management in the spring of 1908, from the Bur lington team, of the Iowa State league, refused to report and went to the California outlaws. Since then he has been induced to play with the club named. A ruling of the national commission declared that the Pacific state organization could entice play ers from the "bandits" during the playing season, and when the contract was completed they would become the property of the club they jumped. Negotiations now on may lead to his coming here. Denver Post: "Tip" O'Nell, the popular president of the Western league, is still in our midst, and we hope to keep him here for several days longer. Tip is as enthusiastic as ever over the future of the Western league, and says that as each year rolls by the organiza tion will keep getting stronger and stronger. Attention was called to the fact that the rate at which the major leagues were gobbling up young ball players there would be nothing for the minors. O'Neil smVed and eald:. New HURRY! HURRY!

"Why the minors have a better chance than ever next year. The big leagues are overloaded with players, and it will give the minors a chance to get what is turned back. Some of the clubs have as many as forty men. They will cull them out, keeping what they believe to be tne Dest, ana tne balance will be turned loose. It is for that reason that I look for a higher class of baseball in the West ern league than ever before." O'Neil is delighted with his present staff of ummres. and says that witn tne com petent men he now has he is going to stand Denind tnem, ana lr tne Dan player who thinks he is mightier than tho man with the indicator win nna to his sorrow that some or his sal ary is missing at the next pay day.

"Cy" got disheartened some months ago while a member of the Louisville club, and made a run for his home in the west, where he was sold to the Topeka club Dy Louisvine.

Mallon hit for two bases with two men on when the game looked to be lost. Th Salina Journal says that since the departure of Gardner of the Abilene team that the only disrespectful per son on the club is Bechtold. Anthony is pulling for a berth in the Kansas State league. This town gave good support to the team which repre sented that town this season. The num ber of applications for admission will be large, however, now that the sea son has been a successful one. Many of the towns which knocked on the idea of a league last winter are now wanting in. Manhattan seems to have at least one pitcher' who is capable of winning an occasional game.

An other thing." continued Mr. Rush, Is that Beckley has played in fast com pany and company that is faster than any company our players could have niMTreA in anri for that reason the play ers would pay more attention to him. That was one of the troubles we had last year our manager tiaa not piayra ;n fo.t.i- nmnanv than his player and the players did not heed his advice, no matter how good it was." A great many of the fans are anxious for a baseball meeting and have the manager selected at once as many consider this the time of the year to get the bent players and not wait until the season opens and we are compelled to take players who have tried out elsewhere and have been released. prathers 11, Atchison 4.

"The most unique referendum that has come to my notice," said Charles Shukers, as sistant attorney general, "Is that ap parently adopted by the mayor and the chief of police of Wichita when the board of commissioners refused to adopt the so-called beer ordinance pre sented to the board by the mayor some time last week. "The first I knew of any trouble at Wichita consisted of newspaper dis patches which announced that the town was wide open, and that some saloons were employing as many as five bar tenders to take care of the trade. "I pon interrogating the mayor and chief of police as to the truth of thes dispatches, they replied that the board of commissioners had refused to enact an ordinance which would enable the police force to control the sale of near- beer, and that the venders of near-beer were thereby enabled to sell the real article. The chief apparently removed 11 restrictions and let the town run wide open. "The commissioners immediately heard from the people. The ordinance was passed on Friday afternoon and went into effect immediately upon it. publication in the official city paper. Since that time it is my understanding that Wichita is a Sahara, so far as the sule Of beer or near-beer is concerned This is the most unique, speedy and effective referendum that has come to my notice." Ordinance AVhlch Did the Work. The ordinance is: That it shall be unlawful for anv per son or persons to sell, barter or give away in the city of Wichita any malt, hop tea, hop tea tonic, 2 per cent, tin top. health tone, rosenbrew or any other nonintoxicating malt or other beverage in less quantities than one gallon at a sale or to permit or suffer any one of the above named beverages to be drunk on the premises where sold bartered or given away.

KATY AGEXT STOLE $454.50. Took Transportation With Hiiu and Hrs Not Been Located. Erie, Kan.. Aug. 27. After check ing up for two days the Katy travel ing auditor and the representative of the American Express Company found that the amount of money taken by Sears, when he decamped, was $454.50 in cash and two money or ders and a skeleton ticket, making the whole amount something near $500. Sears, since his disappearance, has never been heard of as he left no trace whatever. The skeleton ticket which he had with him is probably the cause of this, as he could fill it out for any destination he wanted to, routing it over any road or system of roads he desired. It is now thought that Sears has been operating in much the same manner all over this section of the United States. He would enter a rail road office as relief agent, collect all outstanding debts to the company and then disappear with the cash. The detectives of various roads are on his trail. were received about his head and neck. The rock which fell was a very heavy one with a sharp edge.

Here's a fine opportunity for To peka's efficient Commercial club to jet busy. Why wouldn't it be a good plan for that organization to help the Santa Fe secure the 200 additional carpenters and other workers it needs for Its local shop force? Captain Richmond Pearson Hob son, the yellow peril enthusiast, is likely out of sorts these days. An other fleet of United States war ves sels is to be sent on a tfip to far eastern waters but the fleet's mission Is to be a .peaceful one. If the Missouri courts permit Mrs. Barclay to walk away with little Marian Bleakley and also prevent the punishment of the kidnapers of the child by Kansas authorities, the reputation of Missouri justice will not be enhanced to any considerable ex tent. Evidently, San Francisco is going to be prepared to fight any fire that may come her way in the future. She has recently issued $5,000,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of provid ing; an emergency water supply for fire fighting. This Is municipal fore .feandedness of the right sort. "Life and accident insurance com panies have put the ban on aviators," ays the Washington Herald, and it points out one good and sufficient rea son, adding: "It was not so long ago that a number of the big companies krere up In ths air themselves, and they (new it Is a dangerous situation." How to keep the state fish and game department in working order iwitb. no money available for the pur pose la a question which vexes even uoh smart men as Governor Stubbs and Fish Commissioner Murdock. Why xtot ask the leaders in the last session of the legislature? They created this condition of affairs. Presumably the affairs of state are being; looked after by clerks. Almost H of the heads of the state depart ments and their deputies are out of the city. But then the clerks in the state house are a generally capable lot. So there is no need to worry that tlie ship of state will sail along on anything but an even keel. As a result of the deaths which occurred at the recent automobile races at Indianapolis, the managers of other race courses where similar contests are scheduled are remodel ling their tracks so as to make them safer. The proper proceeding in the premises would be to discontinue such races. If the promoters of them show no inclination to do this they should be 'mad to by the public authorities. Low hanging trees may shut oft some of the electric light along some of the streets at night as a couple of the city officials are pointing out. But they provide a recompense for this falling by shutting off a good deal of sunlight from the sidewalks in the day time and make it possible for people to go their way in a shade that is most desirable when: the tem perature is as vigorous as It has been during this summer. An expert in the federal depart ment of agriculture, after divers In-restigations,- announces that the value of the house cat has been greatly ixaggerated. Not only -are, the tab-1 Ue of little use when it comes to killing rats and mice but' they are also something of undesirable pests be cause of the millions of wild birds they kill each year. This expert might have gone further by stating that cats haver killed many a. good disposition by robbing its possessor of much needed sleep. And so, let the cats be swatted. THE FLTCRE'S BIG MEN. That the future captains of industry In these United-States will come from the toiling masses of today is the en couraging thought held out by the New York Evening Post in a brief editorial paragraph which it printed on this subject, as follows: "Our future captains of'- industry are probably to be found,' as were most of the present, in obscure posi tions. They are rodmen on the way to become heads of great engineering concerns: train dispatchers en route for railway presidents; clerks In coun try stores fitting themselves all uncon sciously to be financial leaders. The peculiar qualities which make them what they are can not be taught; they are partly the gift of nature, and part ly beaten out in the hard school of experience. These are words which ought to cheer up many young men who are struggling on their way in positions that are not exceedingly attractive. They'll all. lead up to better things if the most Is made of each and every opportunity. INDUSTRIAL COLLEGES. No better work has been undertaken by the National Civic Federation than the plans it is making for the estab lishment of adequate and purely. indus trial colleges in the various populous sections of the country. These schools are to be a part of the public educa tional systems and will be supported by the public. It is planned to make them distinct from the cultural schools, that is from the high schools. They will draw their pupils from the gradu ates of the grammar, or primary schools, when they have reached the ages of, say, 14 or 15 years. In the industrial institutions they will be given a thorough schooling in the trades which it will be possible for them to enter and take advantage of in their home localities. For Instance, it is proposed that in a place where the manufacturing of shoes Is the chief industry, there will be a shoe trade school. Where there are textile works there will be textile schools, and so on. mat great benefits should accrue from institutions of learning of this character there can be no doubt. This has been demonstrated by the' agri cultural colleges of the country. Most every one is familiar with the improve ment in the agricultural world that has been brought about by the agricultural colleges and the graduates they have turned out. It Is no more than reason able to assume that similarly excellent results can be achieved for other in dustries and the workers in them by schools which will be devoted entire ly to their purposes and needs. Mr. John Mitchell, the great labor leader and former president of the Uni ted Mine Workers of America, is one of the prime movers in the Civic Fed eration for the creation of these pub lie industrial institutions. This, or it self, is an almost certain assurance of the accomplishment of the project. PASSENGER FARES. Information comes from Chicago to the effect that the prominent officials of most of the leading western railroad systems are holding conferences these days for the purpose of entering into an agreement to bring about the aboli tion of all special and excursion rates which are lower than the two cents a mile rate in the territory where such a rate has been forced on the rail roads. This will mean a good ceal to the traveling public and especially that large portion of it which has been able to take advantage of the extremely low special rates of the summer time for their vacation trips. It will also be a case of the railroads chewing on their own noses. There is no doubt that the railroads make nice profits out of the greater portion of their excursion rates which are considerably less than two cents a mile, even if they do go into court and present figures to show that pas senger traffic is not reasonably re munerative unless it is conducted at a rate of 2.99 cents a mile, that is local traffic which is a large portion of the railroad passenger trade. Some railroad officials are honest enough to admit that there is money in hauling passengers at a rate of less than two cents a mile provided that the cars on each train where such rates are charged are filled. This is generally the case In the summer season when the special and excursion rates are sufficiently low to attract travelers In large numbers. It is the hauling of empty seats that makes a two cent care unremunerative, according to the railroad men. And so if the railroads decided to abolish the special and excursion rates, especially of the summer time, they will be depriving themselves of a considerable revenue. For there are lots of persons who will deny them selves the enjoyment of travel, some because they can not afford to do otherwise, even if they do not have to pay more than two cents a mile. Something of a hardship will also be done to this class of persons. But,' perhaps, such an agreement will not be kept for long even if it. is made. When two cent fares were in augurated a couple of years ago in this section of the country the railroads announced in their wrath that special and excursion rates would be things of the past in the two cent rate ter ritory; that they would see to it that the maximum rate of two cents a mile would be the minimum rate. They kept their promises to this end for a few months. Then one road broke away from the agreement with a spe- ciai rate or two, another followed suit and naturally .all of'them did .like wise. ,'Probably this same thing will happen again if the agreement In question is .entered into. Some rail- road, svstems are big and strong enough, not to need the extra monev they can pick up through excursion and special rates. Others are not in the same financial position and any kind of profits from any source look good to them. It is such! roads as the latter, that knock agreements of this kind to pieces-almost as fast as they are made. JOURNAL ENTRIES Some people seem to get pleasure out of causing trouble for other folks.

In the renort of the Phllinnlni-s health bureau for the first quarter of laua, wmcn nas just come to hand, a new project for the improvement of sanitary conditions in Manila is outlin ed. A committee was appointed a few months ago by the governor general to Inquire Into the extent of the swamps in that city and of the land subject to inundation in the season of floods. An estimate of the cost of draininsr these districts or of raising their level by lining is to De made by the commit tee, which has been instructed also to make recommendations for financing me woric, in case it snail be under taken. Whether the necessary outlay snouia be maae by tne property own ers or by the city government and whether in the second contingency a special tax would be advisable are questions regarding which suggestions are invited. Kelnlorced by the addition of two new members, the same com mittee is also to study the problem of securing better protection from chol era. One of the benefits sure to result from draining the swamps of Manila wouia De tne prevention to a consid erable degree ot malaria. That disease rarely terminates fatally, but in tropi cal oountries it: temporarily disables sucn a large proportion of the popu lation as materially to Interfere with Industry of almost every kind. For that reason, if for no other.' the adoption of the most efficient means of suppressing the malady making tne breeding of mosquitoes Impossible is exceedingly desirable. The insti tutme or an investigation into the feas ibility of applying the proper remedy and of increasing the value of dtod- erty In" Manila at the same time is a beneficent public service, the credit for wnicn is evidently due to General James F. Smith, whose administration has ended within the last two months. New York Times. Hungry Babies Hold Up Train Shortly after noon babies held up at a station 10 miles east of Rapid City, South Dakota, the Northwestern spe- ciat train returning to this city with 1 70o Black Hills excursionists. The holflrup was finally overcome by the 1 ni-itimr mnrt nf nnxiiinw -.v,o k of this city, who had charge of the train. The train left Rapid City in the morning carrying many men, women and children who live in this city and have been conducting a big Huron day restivai at Rapid City. There were eighteen mothers with Infant children aboard. The train had proceeded but a snort distance wnen lour or the infants heralded with appropriate sounds and gestures a shortage of milk. In a few minutes this disquiet ing feeling among the fourteen others became general and acute. Chambers, the conductor, a married man, pulled the bell cord and stopped the train. Seizing two train buckets, he sprinted for a pasture a mile away, where he began milking the cows. Neighboring farmers aroused from the monotony of their harvest, sighting the trainman plundering privileged cows, gave chase. The conductor sped over fences and ditches for his train. He boarded with two pails of rich milk and the watching engineer jerked open the throttle. It was a peaceful excur sion that bowled into Huron last night. Huron (S. Dak.) dispatch to the New York Press. Yankee Tars Amaze Neapolitans.. Some American sailors who had been indulging in liberal potations and had had rows with some of the many bad characters of Naples were con ducted by the police to the central po lice station yesterday. Tired of waiting in the courtyard, two of them noticed a column leading to an upper story, and climbed it like monkeys, while the astonished police ordered them to descend. Arrived at the upper story, the sailors climbed the balustrade and entered the town hall amid the lively curiosity of ush ers, clerks, and porters. Then they leisurely passed through the halls, and at last descended the central staircase, where they found their way to the street. In a few minutes they sauntered back into the courtyard, to the further surprise of the guard. All were then marched off to the police magistrate, who on hearing of the adventure and seeing the- laughing faces of the sail ors, liberated the whole batch. The sailors gayly thanked him. and the whole crowd went back to the ship thoroughly amused. Naples Cor respondence of the New York World Her Proper Place. Father-in-Law Where's your wife?

The mesa is a flame of red-gold poppies, the rosy mist of the apricot orchard slopes up to the gray-green of the olive wood, and Joyce, what is it?" "What is it. Joyce?" repeated Ron ald Strang, Carol's companion. it is not tne poetry our dear little brown-eyed maid has been talk ing. Carol, there is a telegram from your Uncle James." "A telegram!" cried both Carol and Roland in one breath. "A telegram, my children. I know it is from him, as he sent one to Harry, asking that, if you were ab sent from Los Olives It might be for warded to you. He must have sent it as soon as he received the letters telling of your engagement. Carol sank down upon one of the porch chairs. Her fingers trembled as they unwound' the mass of chiffon in which her head and neck had been swathed. No, Joyce," she cried, as her hostess turned away. "There is no use bringing the message. I know that it forbids my marriage to Ronald, so I will not read it." Ronald Strang straightened his broad shoulders. "Let us read the thing and have it over with. What if he does withhold his consent? Carol surely you will not give me up at the command- of an uncle and a guardian?" The girl threw out her hand wltn a despairing gesture. "When papa was- dying I promised him that l would never disobey Uncle James." "Tho old tyrant! What reason can he give for refusing us his blessing? I know I am not worthy of you; no man is. I am a decent sort, as men go. I love you to distraction, and I've plenty of money to give you everything you want." "You don't know Uncle James. For one thing he will say you are a Callfornian. Then I have known you only since my arrival here to visit Joyce, two months ago. He will de clare that I am too young and eilly. There is no use talking, Ronald; if I ever marry you, it must before I read the telegram. There was a moment's silence. The mind of each one of the trio was grappling with the same question. It was Ronald who spoke first. You blessed archangel! Do you mean tomorrow? You will never re gret it, Carol." "Tomorrow!" and Joyce Hunter threw back her head. "Tomorrow may be too late; the dragon uncle may arrive before then. It must be tonight. Here comes Harry, my own liee-e lord and master born.' and he is the best hand at arrangements." Carol began to sob. "Yes, I love you. Ronaia, DUt i -i want a. wi-u- diner. It may be my only chance." i Vmi nreefous lamD: jvirs. nun ter smoothed Carols disordered niinnv hair with one hand while she beckoned to her husband with the other. "You shall have a wedding, n. fiill-erown one. Let me see. it is a o'clock .and we can't nave tne wedding later than 9. Six hours is rather a short time, but things grow i-anldlv In California. And that teie mm shall not be read until the weddinir is over." That was a busy afternoon not only for the inmates of Los Olives, but also for all who lived in the other half dozen country houses near Dy. eie- nhnne.o and automobiles were pressed into service. Joyce asked her neigh bors to give her their flowers and their time, to lend her tneir servants ana contents of their refrigerators, and anv other thing that they might have which could be utilized for a wedding. The call was met gladly. It was not only that the colony had many things In common, out tne merry miie rani ern girl had won all hearts. It would be delightful to have her safely mar ried to one of their number. "Pray don't ask me to waste my breath telling you why," Joyce gasped. "Explanation will come in due time. A little lower, Carrie, please. Now Maurice, remember that you are to run into Los Angeles and bring out the Rev. Alexander Hunt, who is to perform the ceremony; ten yards of number seven White satin ribbon, a corkscrew and a freezer ful of ice cream." The arrangements were completed. Just as the clock in the hall struck 9 some one struck up a wedding march, and the bridal couple descended the stairs. The front parlor was a bower of white, golden-centered Cherokee roses. Long sprays or tnem maae an arch on that side of the room where the clergyman stood waiting, and the carpet was" strewn with snowy petals for Carol's white satin slippers to tread upon. The bride was arrayed in a dainty white frock that had come home from the dressmaker only the day before. She wore her mother's pearls on her neck and arms, orange blossoms in her belt and Mrs. Lankard's wedding veil. The girl's face was pale, but her eves were clear and steady, ine young couple had no attendants. Harry gave the bride away, and Joyce hov ered near, satisfaction and anxiety curiously blended upon his face. As soon as congratulations were over the wedding dinner was served The menu was not aloner the conven tional lines of wedding dinners, but Its excellency was surprising to tne mas culine part of the company. "The fish the Gardeners sent up from San Diearo for our Sunday dinner Is excellent. Is it not?" Mrs. Duke asked of her next door neighbor. "Indeed it is. Was it not rortuaate that both Carrie and I planed to have fruit salad for dinner tonight?" The dinner was hurried a Httl as the newly wedded pair were to motor into town. That would enable them to take a boat the next morning for Santa Catallna Island, where their honey moon was to be spent. While Carol and Ronald were upstairs changing their clothes the Hunters told the story of the telegram. Here, carol! You must read your uncle's message before you start, you really must, dear," Joyce cried as the bride descended the stairs, arrayed in her navy blue traveling suit. "very well, jsotning matters now," Carol said with a fond look at Ronald. She tore open the envelope and read aloud: "New York, April 4. My consent and blessing. Shall I come on there for the wedding? James White." (Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.) Comet Wine.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JQUIHTA'E FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1S09. Harriman Beliered to Be Plan nlng Big Ballwaj Merger. The Gould Line to Form Part of This Immense System. CAPITAL ONE BILLION W. C.

Los Angeles Salt Lake. 512 St. Joseph Grand Island Xw York Central lines roads also own considerable stock in many other large systems, such as the Santa Fe, the San Pedro road and the Baltimore Ohio. It is understood to be Harrtman'o purpose to create a billion dollar se curities holding company for all the New Tork Central lines, but it is not thought that he will try to include the securities of bis other roads. For some time the attorneys have been trying to work out a plan for the holding company which will be court proof, but many difficulties have been encountered. It is understood that the Vanderbilts are more or less un friendly to the plan, owing to the way the courts dealt with the North ern Securities company, and that this feeling hastened the purpose which Harriman had entertained for some time of eliminating the Vanderbilts by purchasing their stock. The con templated plan will also give him au thority over the Lake Shore, the Michigan Central, the Big Four and the smaller roads comprising the New York Central lines. W. C. Brown, whom Mr. Harriman placed in control of the New. Tork Central lines as soon as he became director on the board last year, will undoubtedly be made acting head of the entire Harriman system. The passing of the Vanderbilts Is the logical result of the entry of Harriman into the New York Cen tral board, as there can be but one power in a railroad board of which Trunk Line railway, which Is said to be backed by James J. iH. won its w test with the Deschutes Railway com pany, a Harriman subsidiary, in the federal court hem. The court forbade the Harriman road going upon the 60 miles of contested right of way up ins Deschutes Canyon, in Central Oregon. STICKXET TALKS OF REBATES. Favorite Method Is to Allow Claims for Overcharges. New Tork. Aug. 27. A. B. Stickney, long president of the Chicago Great Western, whose chare that the rail roads still are granting rebates, just as before the passage of the Hepburn rate law. is about to be investigated by the interstate commerce commission, out lined yesterday what he regards as the proper method to pursue to do away with the alleged abuses. The favorite way of granting rebates now, he said, is to allow claims for overcharges for damages presented by large shippers. Claims of this kind presented by large favored shippers, Stickney said, are promptly paid by the railroads. Discrimination In rates also Is prac ticed, he asserted, by putting obscure rates In the rate schedules. He In stanced in this connection the inclusion in the western roads tariffs of the rate on illuminating oil and another such lower rate on proaucts or petroleum. The attention of the favored shippers. he said, was called to the latter rate. Map Showing Dotted Line, Harriman Present Roads. E. H. Harriman. At Right W. C. Brown.

J 7. Now that B. H. Harriman has returned from Europe it is confidently predicted that the greatest railroad merger ever cen tered under one controlling head will be consummated. It is Just a year ago this month that Harriman first placed the enter ing wedge In the Gould lines, and during this interim the energetic railroad king has so played his cards that he has been in practical control of most of the Gould lines. This does not satisfy him, however, and he wishes to purchase outright the Gould Interests in the New York Cen tral. This will give Mr. Harriman practically three transcontinental lines, two in the central states and one in from the south by means of his steamship company. With the New York Central added to the Harriman fold, the lines under his control would have a capitaliza tion of more than a billion dollars and an earning capacity of nearly half a billion dollars. The principal roads which he now controls are: Southern Pacific, Union Pacific. Ore gon Short Line, Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co., Illinois Central and Central of Georgia. The .Harriman 1 Harriman Is a member, that power being Harriman himself. That Har riman rules every board of which he is a member Is a well recognized fact on Wall street, which often smiles when Harriman announces that a board has decided to do thus and so. The acquisition of the New York Cen tral by Harriman would give him a second transcontinental route and place in him such a power to make and to control the rates of transporta tion as was not dreamed of a few years ago. This power would extend to traffic east and west and also north and south by reason of his con trol of the Illinois Central road. With his steamship Ines, which give him a third transcontinental rail and water route. Harriman would doml nate the entire rate situation of the country. His new transcontinental routes would be formed by the old Central Pacific, now a portion of the Southern Pacific from San Francisco to Ogden, the Union Pacific from Ogden to Omaha, the Illinois Cen tral from Omaha to Chicago, and the New York Central from Chicago to New Tork. A second transcontinental route is formed by taking the same roads to Chicago, then using the II linois Central and the Central of Georgia to tidewater. From San Francisco to New Orleans and Gal veston the lines of the Southern Pa cific now extend, and from the gulf ports to New York and the other At lantic ports Harriman has a line of steamers, which places him In con trol of the rates by the southern route, As a remedy for rebate eils he sug gested as the first essential the simpli fication of rates, and as means to this end the adoption of a uniform classi fication. What ought to be done, he said, is to do away entirely with com modity rates and reduce all rates to class rates, at the same time increas ing the number of classes to a sufficient extent to permit an equitable adjust ment of rates between the various classes of merchandise.

Union Pacific to Strengthen Its Line Near Manhattan. Manhattan, Kan., Aug. 27. Among the recent railroad stories that is cup posed to have leaked out at the Union Pacific headquarters is one of great interest to residents of this city. It involves some rather radical changes in the present arrangements here but Is directly in line with the Harriman policies. Within the next three years the com pany intends, according to the story, to change Its right of way through Manhattan so that its line will ran straight from the Blue river bridge to the Wild Cat bridge across the town site, and then directly southwest via a tunnel through Stagg's hill. This would cut out several bad curves In cluding the "Horseshoe" and reduce the distance between here and Eureka Lake by three miles. It is said that plans for this change are already on file at headquarters ana tnat enough additional yard room would thereby to secured here to en able the company to locate its division point at Manhattan.

Interest In the proposed great international railway connecting North and South America is divided today by the reported purcase of the Pan-American railway by David E. Thompson, the American ambassador to Mexico, who is understood to have associated with him a coterie of St Iouis millionaires. Evidently the ne gotiations have been conducted with great secrecy as it can not be ascer tained that any information on the subject has come from any of th American diplomatic or consular of ficers in Mexico. The statements that extensive im provements to and extensions of the existin g road are to be made is received with hearty satisfaction In Washington where much attention haa been naid through official channels and other wise to the possibilities that will fol low a railroad connecting the two con tinents. In the absence of specific In formation on the subject the officials here are not Inclined to believe that Mr. Thompson's acquisition of the Panama railroad la an accomplished fact.

Characters in Book Bepresented by Kansas Orators. 1'arade From Train Precedes the Speechmaking. as the Kmporia. Aug. 27. The William Allen Whites returned to their own today and were as royally welcomed as any of the potentates of the countries they visited while abroad could have been in their own capital cities. The WThites arrived here on the 3 o'clock train th's afternoon. The reception committee, Second regiment band and a large crowd of citizens were assembled at the station to conduct the distinguished editor and his family to the bandstand In the center of the town where- th.2 homecoming exercises were held. The programme, consisting ot speeches and music, was filled by char acters from Mr. White's books, Victor Murdock and certain of Emporia's citi zens playing the parts. Mr. White himself, assigned to the part of Col. William Hucks. made a short response at the close of the programme. Then Mr. White's old horse Tom, hitched to the family surrey, newly painted an.l upholstered was brought around to the bandstand and the family driven to their residence while the band played "Home, Sweet Home." The following poem by FranK .Mc Cain, composed for the occasion, read during the programme ai bandstand: Home Cominji of Colonel Hucks. We are glad to see you back, Colonel Hucks; From the ocean's stormy track. Colonel Hucks: We have missed you, sure as pop! We'll be glad to have you drop In the same old harness shop, Colonel Hucks! Oft we've gathered there at eve, Colonel Hucks; Since last spring we saw you leave. Colonel Hucks; There we gathered, the old guard; Hendricks. Bemis, General Ward And we surely missed our pard, Colonel Hucks! Things are dull at Sycamore Ridge, Colonel Hucks; Tiresome as a game of bridge, Colonel Hucks; When you galivant away Off to Ireland or Cathay; After this you'll have to stay. Colonel Hucks! O we're glad to see you home. Colonel Hucks: From your junketing in Rome, Colonel Hucks; And I guess no more you'll prance Off to Germany or France. For you will not get th: chance, Colonel Hucks! The following program". was carried out to celebrate the home coming of Colonel Hucks.

President Johnson Protests Against Star Player's Taeties. Chicago, Aug. 27. One more attempt at spiking a fellow player may put a sudden quietus to the baseball career of Tyrus Cobb, star of the Detroit club. President Johnson last night declared himself against the tactics of Cobb, who is said to have maliciously driven his armored shoes against Third Base man Baker's arm during the series just closed between the Philadelphia and Detroits. All players look alike to Cobb when the latter gets on first base, and the opposing athlete who moves into the southerner's path is liable to meet al most any fate on the calendar. BasT running is a specialty with Tyrus, and he will advance at any cost. More than one infielder in the American league has been cut down by the deadly spikes fitted to Cobb's shoes. The latest vic tim. Baker, also may be the last, ac cording to President Johnson's edict. "There's been altogether too mucn ot this sort of game at Detroit," asserted Mr. Johnson last evening, "and some body is going to be made a shining ex ample if I hear of another such affray. Cobb seems to be the chief offender and a word of advice should go a long way. He must stop that sort of play ing or he will have to quit the game. Steps will be taken next winter to over come the possibilities of spikinj? play ers. Just what action will be taken I am unable to state, but chances are the players will be asked to wear short er spikes than before." Connie Mack has about decided to drop the case of Baker and Cobb. N-) official protest has reached President Johnson. According to reports last evening from Detroit the pitchers of the Philadelphia club will assist in the work of taming Cobb. What sort of procedure will follow is a dark secret. Ball players have their own methods of cleaning up scores and a few wild pitches may accidentally find lodgment against Cobb's head. Cobb Denies Charges. Detroit, Mich.. Aug. 27. "Ty" Cobb, the star outfielder of the local Ameri can league team, positively denied to day that he or any other member of the Detroit team have attempted to spike players on opposing teams. After reading- the statement of Presi dent Ban Johnson that he, Cobb, must stop spiking players or quit the game, Cobb said: "I have never attempted to spike another player. The base lines, by every rule of baseball, belong to the runner, and if the baseman chooses deliberately to get In the path and try to block the runner off, he does so at his own peril. I did not maliciously spike Third Baseman Baker of the Philadelphia team. I slid Into third base and he was on the line." BEER FLOATS IN. Ixing Drouth at Fort Slooiim Relieved in an Unusual Manner. New Tork. Aug. 21. Twenty-five kegs of beer defied the canteen law by floating into Fort Slocum yesterday and did much to relieve the pangs of homesickness among the recruits. The ship Mary Gordon, plying be tween this city and New Kochelle, bad a deck load of beer on board when she was caught by the wash of a big steamer off City Island. She rolled so far that she spilled about fifty kegs of beer into Long Island sound, and 2 5 of them went straight for Fort Slocum. TO HAVE "SWIMMTX HOLE.' C. K. G.

P Myrtle Russell, the 19-year-old show girl who accused J. P. Young, the young man in charge of the merry -go- I round at the City park of holding her trunk in order to gain her consent In marriage, has denied emphatically all of the charges made against her last night by J. C. Young, the father of the young man. Mr. Young had accused Myrtle of owing him board and wash ing bills, of being found in doubtful places and of being a far different girl than has been pictured in the State Journal. In an interview with a State Journal reporter today, Myrtle Russell denied everything said by the show manager and offered as a proof to telegraph to all of the places mentioned and verify everything said. Young accused the young girl of be ing expelled from a hotel in Sapulpa, Ok. In reference to this she said: This is a bad mistake. I was never in a hotel in Sapulpa In my life, changed cars there on my way to Kan sas City." It was also stated that Myrtle Rus-. sell would kill the young man if he did not marry her. She denies this and says that she has never thought of marriage to him. When asked about the matter at the Brunswick hotel this morning she was very emphatic about her alleged love affair with Young and stated that he had frequently mentioned marriage to her and before his par ents but she would not pay any atten- tron to it. "And besides, she said in a low bashful voice. "J am going to be married pretty soon and I would not be disloyal this way by allowing Mr. Young to make love to me." Mr. Young made many charges against the girl yesterday that were not printed in the Stale Journal. He had little regard rorf the reputation she bore and made- statements that would place a stigma "on the future life of the beautiful show girL The State Journal reporter repeated all of these charges to Miss Russell Jthis morning and in a straightforward honest man ner she denied all -of them and gave in cidences proving things to the contra ry. He made one charge of the girl being at the Fifth Avenue hotel and ever since she has been in the city she has stayed at the Brunswick. She looks and talks very-determinedly and has the appearance of being a hard working girl. She denied the story to the etrect that her parents were very comfortably fixed, however. Also that her father was dea-d. Mr". Young had stated that her. father was not living. Myrtle has pa pers on a claim in Oklahoma to show that he is living.- When en e tola tne etory of the hard existence or ner mother and father' she broke into tears and sobbed us if her neart wouia break. T have been doing all l can in tne world for them and have tried to keep them alive and the thought of my poor mother has made me sympathize with the Young family when they were in trouble I have given them money to help them out when tfiey were in trou ble and I have always felt sorry for Mrs. Young.

A voung woman who gave her name as Miss Mae Rogers, but whose real name is Mrs. Buck, was found over in Garfield park this morning by Chief Eaton. Mrs. Buck was despondent over failure to find work and when she started out for North Topeka ner friends feared that she would commit suicide and the chief of police was asked to find her and cheer her up. Chief Eaton went personally to me park and after wandering up ana down Soldier creek, the woman was found Iving down behind a tree. She was approached by the chief and told her story. It seems that Mrs. Buck nas Deen attending the Dougherty snortnana school in the hopes of learning short hand and typewriting in order tnat she might command good wages in an office in the city. But she has been unable to find work and this morning was told to vacate ner room ai i;m i-Tanaae avenue. She nao no place to go and was despondent to the last degree. Mrs. Buck has tried to com mit suicide two times before and it was feared that she would make the third and last attempt and become successful. If there is such a thing as a good reason to commit suicide Mrs. Buck has the reason. She has been mar ried twice and the children of her sec ond husband were kidnaped by her first husband according to her story. She has been hunting for them for the last few years but has heard noth ing. One of them is a girl, age 12, and the other a boy, aged 10. The con stant worry over their disappearance and the fear that thev were in danger and probably dead has kept her in constant despair. Her first two at temnts at suicide were unsuccessful on account of the interference of the neighbors. Mrs. Buck had a long talk -with thJ chief after which she took a car up town looking several years younger and starting out with a new spirit. She has succeeded with the aid of the chief in getting a position and with the worry of existence off of her hands she wll be able to continue her frantic hunt for her children.

"The moral effect of the Kansas prohibitory law and the enforcement of the same reaches clear to the state of Maine," writes the secretary of the Christian Civic league of that New England state to Attorney Gen eral Jackson. In this letter the secretary asks for forms of the briefs used by the Kansas officers In their actions at law against the violators of the prohibition statute. The letter goes on to praise the Kansas system of holding sheriffs and- county attorneys responsible for en forcement of the law in their localities and making them, subject to impeachment proceedings if they fail of their duty. Thus does "Maine"," the 'original prohi bition state, one of the thirteen colo nies, the rock-ribbed, hide-bound seat of New England pride and prejudice, call upon bleeding Kansas for aid and instruction in the enforcement of law TOO LATE TOCLASSirr.

Beverly. Aug. 27. President Taft had a two and a half hours talk with Senator Nelson W. Aldrlch, chairman of the monetary commission and Sec retary of the Treasury MacVeagh. Senator Aldrlch Is about to take up the adjustment of the monetary sys tem of the country and It was In this connection that he was called In conference by the president. Mr. Taft was anxious to ascertain whether or not the monetary com mission will be ready to report its recommendation this winter. It is understood a definite answer was not given, but the chances are that the commission will not be able to place Its conclusion before congress for sev eral months. There has been talk of calling congress in extra session in the fall of 1910 to begin consideration of legislation looking to the enact ment of such changes in the monetary system as the commission may deem expedient. Mr. Aldrich said after the con ference the matters had been dis cussed only in a general way. The senator went to New York and will sail for Europe Saturday to study the monetary systems of the leading European countries. Mr. Aldrich would not discuss the subject of postal savings banks. The monetary commission is con fronted by the problem of retiring the government two per Cent bonds or of maintaining their value. The latter is believed to be difficult if there Is to be a large issue of three per cent bonds. The question of bond issue authorized in the new tariff bill, came up for consideration this afternoon. The secretary of the treas ury was authorized by congress to is sue bonds for $40,000,000 to re imburse the general fund of the treasury for the Panama canal pur chase and also to issue bonds for the building of the canal, up to the amount of the estimated cost, some $400,000,000. Senator Aldrich is in. favor of withholding any bond issues for the time being In order that the monetary commission may have time to con sider this subject specifically and pos sibly to arrange for the placing of a government loan so far as funds may he Immediately needed In one lump sum. There Is no idea of issuing the Panama canal bonds any farther than th money may be in demand. A RAILWAY COLLEGE. IJAmionnced Innovation Made by the Union Pacific Employes. Omaha, Aug.. Aug. 27.

With a hear ing accorded to manufacturers on the progress being made toward the out put of purer food products, the annual convention of the association of tlvj state and national food and dairy de partments prepared for an early ad journment today. Secretary of Agri culture Wilson, who has been in daily attendance, will leave for a tour of the western states, with a view of investi gation public lands in Idaho as to their adaptability for agricultural purposes. The election of officers was the chief business before today's session. George L. Flanders, of Albany, N. T., wa3 talked of for president, and New Or leans was the place for the next an nual meeting. In a communication to the associa tion Nathan Strauss of New York city commended the fight carried on by Health Commissioner Evans of Chi cago for a purer milk supply for that city. About twenty other cities, Mr Strauss said, were following the ex ample. President Roosevelt's famous Remsen "referee board of consulting scientific experts" was indorsed by the conven. tlon of the association of state and na tional food and dairy departments: After a fight in which the term "medi cated garbage" was used, the associa tion approved of the use of benzoate of soda as a food preservative. The delegation from the Unite! States department of agriculture voted "Yes." Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson was an attentive spectator, but was not a delegate. "Voicing the sentiment of other op posing states, Dr. S. J. Crumbine of Topeka.

Senator Curtis, Governor Stubbs and Speaker Dolley There. INGALLS HEAHD FROM Makes Strong: Bid for the Atchi son Postoff ice. Henderson Martin Boomed for National Committeeman. The guaranty battle has been left undecided and can take care of itself while the square deal chieftains move on to Eskridge in Wabaunsee county to make war on another enemy. Esk ridge is only a little hamlet but it is in the public eye this week. They are holding a reunion and picnic there and Senator Curtis. Governor Stubbs and Bank Commissioner Dolley were all on hand to address the people. Such a gathering of Kreat leaders in such a small place to make war has not been witnessed since Napoleon and the emperors of Russia and Austria as sembled at Austerlltz. Wabaunsee county s only prior bid for fame lay in the fact that it had been chosen as a land locked haven by Dolley, the mighty sailor, to spend his declining: davs far away from the fishing grounds oft JNantucKet. xne fact that Dolley lives there makes it strance that the -auare aeaiers should and It necessary to move in rorce upon the county simply be cause senator Curtis was billed to speak there. Surely Wabaunsee is safe tor the cause. Sheffield Ingalls of Atchison, men tioned as a candidate for congress for the inrst district, has also been spoken of for the place of postmaster in his native town. And the Atchison Cham pion prints the following pungent para graph on politics in general and post rnastershipa in particular: It has been given out pretty straight that the next postmaster of Atchison will be a Republican. No trickster who has advanced his personal political for tunes by collusion and chicanery and double dealing and combinations that were vain and unholy, under the ban ner of Republicanism will be made postmaster of Atchison if the Repub licans of Atchison county are listened to by Congressman Anthony and they will be. The position of postmaster of Atchison is one of the important offices in the county and the m.n who fills it should be somebody of a representative character and not merely a political place hunter. It is too conspicuous a position to be occupied by a greedy politician who has no personal strength except that which he has acquired by a long and continuous sucking of the public teat." Anthony has too high a regard for the people of this com munity to appoint as postmaster any man who does not enjoy the confidence of this community as a citizen standing for something beside politics. The Minneapolis Better Way booms Henderson Martin for national Demo cratic committeeman in the following language: "The Democrats of Ottawa, county are for Henderson Martin for national committeeman if he wants the place. In case he will not accept, they would be for J. G. Johnson or W. F. Sapp." Mr. Martin is chairman of the Democratic state committee and one of the big men of his party in this state. The Florence Bulletin wants to see State Superintendent Fairchild elected for a third term. The Bulletin does not believe it will be an easy task for the partv to find a man as broad and capable ah Superintendent Fairchild who will take trie same interest in school work. Senator Bristow neds a press agent. Little or nothing has been heard of him since his reception on the occasion of his return to Salina. It is possible that the senator has been lost in the wilds of Iowa where he was supposed to have gone in the interest of some lvceum bureau. This is a bad state of affairs. Curtis, Stubbs and Dolley are at Eskridge. Why is not Senator Bristow there? Murdock is at Em poria. Where is Bristow? Miller is at Honolulu, but Bristow is hot there. Ball game, picnics, lawsuits, reunions, chautauquas, all are mentioned bv the Kansas press, and the names of her favorite sons always appear in con junction, but nowhere does the name of Bristow adorn tnese articles, tins tow, the man who voted against the Aldrich tariff bill, and thereby earned. or should have earned, tne lively ad miration of all Kansans. is unhonored nd unsunsr these piping summer days. Where is Bristow and what is he doing? j Old Newspapers 5c Bundle.: uvir the next few days the State Journal will sell old exchanges for five cents a bundle, regular price 10 cents bundle. MUNROE WANTS FIGHT, Former Friz Fighter Offers, Bid of $100,000 for Canadian Town. New -York, Aug. 27. Jack Munroe. former heavyc weight prize fighter and now mayor of Elk City, Ont., has tele graphed to a local sporting writer that the Elk City Athletic club had offered a purse of $100,000 for the Jeffries Johnson fight to take place in Canada, one year from date. Munroe does not state the exact location of the battle grounds, but says it is less than 361 miles from Chicago, New York and other eastern cities. After his quick defeat by Jim. Jeffries, several years ago, Munroe returned to mining and is said to own large silver claims at Elk City, Ont. STARTED AT AGE OF THIRTY. Career of McConnell of Boston a Unique One. Boston, Aug 27: -Never playing a professional baseball gam until he was 30 years of age, Second Baseman McConnell of the Boston Americans is one of the strongest members of the Second Baseman McConnell of Boston Americans. team that now threatens Detroit and Philadelphia for the American league lead.

WHEAT The feature of early wheat trading today was an ad vance of la in the price of September, due to urgent covering by shorts.

The Union admiral and navy vard at Pensacola. surrendered to Gen.

Singer, a director in the Carnegie Steel company and the Crucible Steel com pany, was seriously, and perhaps fatal ly, injured in an automobile accident at his summer home near Providence, R. I. Relatives of the injured mil lionaire hurried east to his bedside. One year ago the wealth of Mr. Singer was estimated at 30 million. He was approaching the age of three score and ten, and apparently he got a sudden premonition that he might meet with a fatal accident or die sud denly, thereby embarrassing his estate, perhaps, for his heirs.. He decided to provide against this contingency by disposing of the major part of his wealth to his children, four in num ber. Accordingly he sent out invita tions for the strangest family dinner party ever given in Pittsburg. One of the children came from Nor way to take part in the dinner. The one favor found by the plate of each of the children was a deed giving abso lute transfer of $4,000,000. Mr. Singer all his life has been one of the close friends and business associates of An drew Carnegie. OUT GOES HE. Mayor of Oskaloosa, Iowa, Is Relieved of His Office. Des Moines, la., Aug. 27.

These mea were selected from a general building committee to choose a new headquar ters for the lodge several months ago. Since then the men have examined several buildings and have been in con stant communication with North side rea 1 estate men. "We will make our selection with a view of adding a third story and maV ing the entire building modern," said Mr. Goodman this morning. "The store buildings to which a third story can be added will thus stand a better chance of being accepted.

"A North Side woman who is re markably strong minded and also strong of nerves pretenas to pe frightened when men are around at the least possible excuse. She says that she does it because men are al ways attracted to the "clinging vine while the "sturdy oak' is let alone," is the anecdote told by a Kansas av enue man.

"The die is cast!" exclaimed Caesar as he crossed the Rubicon. Then as he carefully wiped his feet In the grass on the opposite shore he re marked to his stenographer who had followed him close behind: 'Didst get that inspired utterance down?

In this way the immortal saying was pre served," is a hitherto unpublished anecdote related by a Jackson street historian.

Order Has Gone ("orth From the City Hall. Necessary in Order to "Hare the Lights Shine." NOTIFY CONTRACTORS. Will Be Granted No Extension n Pavings. Dirt Haulers May Be Fined for Carelessness. There has been some opposition to the proposal of Councilman H. B. How ard that the city should .furnish elec trical power dursng the day for com mercial enterprises in order to pay for the new plant, the contention being that the 900 intersections of the city should first be Illuminated. The 400 some odd lights which have been Installed since the erection of the new plant as it is. in many cases are not as efi ecuve as tney should be on account of the fact that the trees along numerous thorough fares have been allowed to grow at ran dom until the electric lights have been almost completely obscured. In cer tain portions of the city, in tact, it is imnossihle to drive without coming in contact with the low hanging branches of the trees. One of the councilmen is proposing to introduce a resolution which will compel property owners to correct this condition by getting busy with the. nmnine knife. There is, how ever, an ordinance which covers this noint. and if it were enforced a resolu tion would hardly be necessary, reads in nart: it "It is hereby made the duty of the nwnr of n n v nremises abutting on any street of this city, to cut and trim all trees or shruhherv erowing in the parkings between the sidewaiks and drivewavs of the streets, and all trees nr shrnhherv on anv part of said premises, and adiacent to the side walks and streets, in such manner that the boughs and limbs thereof shall not obstruct free and convenient travel u lrno the nirlewalks and streets. "Anv nceunant or owner who shall fail refuse or neKlect to cut and trim trees and shrubbery as herein before nrrwirteri. fitter receiving five days' no tice from the city authorities to do so. ahall he rieemeri ernlltV OI a nusue- 'mefinor and uuon conviction thereof fino.i nnt less than J3 nor more than $25; and each and every day that said owner or occupant shall fail, refuse or neglect to cut or trim said trees or shrubbery after the expiration of said five days' notice, shall ne a seiiai and distinct offense- punishable in the same manner as herein proviaeo. Citv Clerk Burge today presented the paving contractors with a polite but pointed note to the effect that no extension of time will be granted in case these gentlemen fail to complete their work by the dates stipulated in the contracts. The resolution which tha council passed on Monday au thorizing the crty :;clerk to send out such information has apparently al ready been condusive of results. Con tractor Gilfillin has two gangs of eight or nine men each hard at work lay ing- bricks. The contractors, however, say they are being retarded somewhat on account of their Inability to se cure competent bricklayers. Another drawback is that every day small miantitles of bricks are being con demned by the inspectors. The brick nomine in at the present is said to be a better quality than that for merly Teceived. In hauling away dirt from the ex cavation in connection with the new Mills building to the Shunganunga between Kansas and Topeka avenues and other places, the drivers have been careless about leaving their gates open and consequently a trail of sticky clay has been left behind. This has been flattened out over the pavements by the traffic-and has put the streets in bad condition. Three times during the last week has the street sweeper been at work on Kansas avenue, and Tenth avenue, cleaning up this trail of mud. Last night Street Commis sioner Snyder warned the drivers that they were violating a city ordinance, and if they continued in so doing It would be necessary for them to tell why in court. Violators of the or dinance are subject to a fine of not less than $3 nor more than $25. Haulers of rock for the various buildings which are going up in the city have been offenders of the law also recently on account of allow ing building stone to drop from their wagons without taking the trouble to pick them up. If they are not imme diately picked up they become a source of great danger to the auto mobilists especially to those who break the speed limit. Two Jones Players Win In Tennis. Kansas City. Mo..

The first annual picnic of the local chapter of the Kansas Anti-Horse Thief association was held yesterday at Burton's grove on Seward avenue in Oakland. Yesterday's ball game was one of those exhibitions where it is useless to purchase a cushion. The eye opener games are the ones that give the spirit to the team. The Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A. and the Commercial club are all reporting good attendance at noonday meals, but the Topeka restaurants report business never better. The contractors are still having much difficulty in getting in Iron material and progress in building in a number of instances has been seriously re tarded on this account. As a last Inducement to the rain clouds the baseball magnates gave out rain checks at the ball game yester day. This made the fans think of rain but they failed to feel it. The Santa Fe has made arrangements for holding all the late afternoon local trains Sunday, so as -to accommoda te the crowd which will be in Topeka fo the Topeka-Omaha double header Sun day afternoon. This reporter does not mean to be inquisitive but when a man takes a little trip to Kansas City on "business" and finds it necessary to take with him at least two big suit cases what does it all mean? A real estate dealer in Tooeka can look back upon the time when the site of the Mulvane building was a frog pond and the residents of the district were lulled to sleep by the bass notes of these husky, nocturnal warblers. The authorities at Washburn college are cutting the grass and trimming the grounds In preparation for the big opening which is scheduled to take place in about three weeks.

Brethour re ports himself in fine condition, and pre dicts a fine year for the varsity. Prac tice will be started a week or two earlier this season. A man in Topeka is aroused be cause he thinks that -his son who is 41 years of age Is lost. A son 41 years old should have been lost a long time time ago these old sons who stay around home so long are the direct cause of race suicide. j It is hoped that the many improve ments on Kansas avenue will be nnisn- ed before the state wide fair. The citizens of the city are glad to detour around construction and repair gangs when they have their materials out in the street but a host never. A large number of the graduates of Washburn, '08, are arriving in tne citv for a class reunion which will be held during the wedding of Reuben Markham and Mary Gall, both mem bers of that class.
