Presidential Party Arrives in Milwaukee This Morning. Begins Tour of the City at Eight O'clock. METB Y BIG COMMITTEE Outburst of Ent husiasm asPras ident Leaves Car. Informal Reception at the Chamber of Commerce. Milwaukee, Sept. 17, President Taft devoted his principal address in Milwaukee at the state fair today to the subject of postal savings banks, which he strongly endorsed before a large and enthusiastic gathering that overflowed the grandstand. President Taft said that the pos tal savings bank plan in the tie publican platform bound everybody who calls himself a Kepumii-ai.. "If they do not like a plank in a platform," said Mr. Taft. "or if they do not like the platform "self. they cease to be RepuDiicans ui yj -Republicans with an exception and that indicates a free and enlightened e T-i HiarTiTTlin atintr people. "But I am here to uphold the doctrine of he postal savings banks, because I believe they will All in this country a long felt want. In the first place it is said the postal savings bank is a very paternal Institution; inai n jm "7 lng towards socialism, state socialism, and that it proposes to take the bank ing business out of the hands of private persons and put it into the government. Now I am not a paternalist and I a.n not a socialist and I am not for having the government do anything that pri vate citizens can do as well or better, but there are conditions. We have passed beyond the tide of what thsy call the laissez faire school, which be lieved that the government ought to do nothing but run the police force; and we do recognize the necessity for ihe Interference of the government because it has great capital and great resources behind it and because it sometimes ca.i stand the lack of an immediate return on capital to help out. We did it in oar Pacific roads. We have done it in a. great many different ways and in this particular postal savings bank busine-s the government is especially fitted to ao what no system of private bankers can de. (Great applause.) "The great usefulness of the postal savings bank is the great encourage ment to thrift on the part of those who are Just wavering in the balance whether they shall save the money or use it, because they do not knowwhere they can put it safely. (Applause.) The president read a list of the countries that have postal savings tanks, citing Canada particularly. "Canada has the savings bank, pos tal savings bank," he said, "and what is the result along the border up in the northwest. You find Americans going up the border and making deposits in those savings banks. Why? Because they have got the guaranty of the Canadian government. President Taft said the government had issued upwards of $700,000,000 of 2 per cent bonds of the United States end floated them at par at 2 per cent or a little more. "We did it by getting the banks into a corner so they had to have under the law some government security and to they were obliged to buy those 2 per cent bonds," he said. In closing President Taft said, "we are looking forward, I hope with con fidence to a readjustment of our whole financial system and banking system; certainly it needs it and it has been suggested that the savings bank might well await that. I am bound to say that I do not see the necessity for uniting them together. It seems to me that one system can- stand by Itself, and if we adopt the saving bank they will easily be worked into a gen eral system of banking because those savings banks will furnish us five or six hundred millions of dollars and that is a very tidy pile to have around the government to use legitimately in order to carry on any financial sys tem." The president's train left for La crosse over the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway at 11:40. In the Land of Insurgents. Milwaukee. Wis., Sept. 17. Presi dent Taft swung up into the north west today and after spending the en tire forenoon here is proceeding to Lacrosse, where he will stop for 30 minutes late this afternoon, going thence to Winona, Minn., the home of Representative James A. Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations. The president has been receiving many queries as to when he would discuss the merits or demerits of the Payne tariff bill, and It is now said he will make his first utterance on this subject at WTinona tonight. Last night in Chicago, Mr. Taft devoted himself wholly to labor and the law's delay, but announced he would take up the tariff later in the trip. The president today is in the land of the congressional insurgents and there was much of interest he would have to say. On the original itinerary nun i uiiicu uummuiiiuuuun Detween nl"hf!r5r h.1V.e 11 thi5.th White House at Washington and morning in Madison, the home of Senator LaFollette, but the plans were changed and Milwaukee sub stituted. The president s train arrived here at 6 a. m., after a slow run of three hours from Chicago. Secretary of War Dickinson, who had some de partmental matters to take up with the president, was expected to come along, but after spending an hour and a half on the train in Chicago he had obtained action on all the matters he had in hand at midnight and decided not to make this portion of the trip. The secretary will Join the president at El Paso, Tex., October 16. Mr. Taft slept until 7 o'clock this morning and then breakfasted on his car. which had been placed in the yards at the foot of Wisconsin street. Crowd Gathered Early. The crowd had begun to gather in the vicinity of the train as early aa S o'clock and when the president ap peared three hours later he was cheered by a throng which extended for blocks. Entering automobiles, the president and his party were driven through .the city over streets lined with people. On the way to the state fair grounds where the president made a brief address to a big crowd there were five to ten minute stops at the Auditorium where a welcome was extended by the governing board; at the press club and the Chamber of Commerce. The ride lasted two hours, the president reaching the fair grounds at 10 o'clock. It was another day of ideal weather and the presi dent seemed but little fatigued from his strenuous day of constant moving in Chicago yesterday. After hi:i speech at the fair grounds, Mr. Taft did not return to the city, his train having been switch ed to the fair grounds and leaving from there direct for Lecrosse. Senator Stephenson. Governor Da vidson and Mayor Rose took part in the program of welcome to the presi dent. For Postal Banks. In his fair grounds speech the presi dent devoted most of his time to the subject of postal savings banks and aroused a quick response of applause from the crowd when he declared that he stood firm for a redemption of the rromis-3 of the Republican platform for the establishment of such a system of banks. As a preliminary to his more serious remarks, the president said he always felt at a loss in facing an audi ence of farmers. I am city bred," he went on, "and while the spirit may be willing. I must admit that I could not milk a cow." The president said he did not atagon ize the bankers, but he did not believe their opposition to postal banks was v ell founded in some parts of the coun try, especially New Kngland, where for every two citizens there is one savings bank account, Mr. Taft said the need of postal banks was not felt. In other sections where the savings accounts amounted to only one in 157 citizens th need of an encouragement to thrift was acute. Postal banks raying only 2 per cent interest would not attract depositors from public banks, who were paying 3 to 4 per cent, but they would attract the accounts of those people who were wavering in the balance as to whether or not They should spend their money for the want of knowledge ot a sale place to put it. The president dwelt at length upon the fact that the deposits of the alien population which is now sent to gov ernment banks abroad would be held in this country if there were postal banks with the government behind tns-m to resume the timid and Danickv depositors of foreign irth and affilia tion. The president pointed out the needs of the funds which would come to the government through postal banks to take care of the 2 per cent united States bonds issued some years ago and "forced as a sort of a bunco gams on the bankers at par or a little more, but which will be a drug on the mar ket." Not Success as a Reporter. The president's greeting at the new auditorium included a tribute from sev eral thousand school children who gave their school yells and three resounding cheers, when the automobiles of the president's party were driven direct into the big building. At the fres-- club, the president was introduced amid cheers as ar reporter who had attained to the highest office m the gift of the people. Mr. Taft in reply said his newspaper experience on the old Cincinnati Com mercial had expanded over only a yea. and a half of court reporting; that he was not much of a success and had no difficulty in separating himself from his position "without violence." At the chamber of commerce the president spoke briefly in appreciation of the welcome extended him and pleaded for charity toward all public officials, especially, he said, since he, the president, chanced to be one. The president made an impressive little talk to the veterans of the civil war at the Soldiers' home. He said he hoped they were enjoying all the com forts of life that a great, grateful coun try could place upon them. Talks to Old Soldiers. "We who were too young to have pai ticipated in the war," he said, "feel that we missed a great deal in not having been able to have defended our union but when we consider the sufferings, the death of comrades and the great grief of families, we are reconciled to the fact that we did not live in that generation., "Yesterday, in Chicago, I saw 150,000 school children and more thousands here today. "I could not help wondering as I looked, what fate awaited those bri&ht young eyes, and those flushed young cheeks of the boys and girls. I won dered if that generation would suffer what you endured in another war. "I pray God that they may not. But if they do, I know that the examrle which you set, will not be without its inspiring effect to place Old Glory oa still greater heights." At the fair grounds, the president's party, which already included United States Senator Isaac Stephenson, was joined by Senator Robert M. LaFolleUe. The greeting of the president to the senator was most cordial. The immense grandstand was filled to its capacity and as the presider.c'3 automobile drew up in front on the race Irack. there was a resounding cheer. Mr. Taft witnessed first a parade of the live stock exhibit at the fair he fore beginning his open air address. HOW IT IS DOXE. The Methods of Keeping In Touch With AVhite House. Washington, Sept. 17. One of the most difficult tasks in connection with the carrying out of a presidential tour is that of maintaining constantly un- mterrunted communication between the president wherever he may be. This responsibility rests largely with what is known as the telegraph and cipher bureau of the executive man sion in effect the nerve center of American officialdom. This "intelligence office" at the White House is never closed for a minute from one end of the year to the other, and on the two dozen tele graph wires that enter this communi cative bee hive a double wire is re served at all times for direct commu nication with the president wherever he may be. Expert telegraphers from the White House accompany the president's train and. the chief executive's messages can thus be sent back to Washington, if desired, in the president's private se cret code. The long distance telephone is used extensively when the president is ab sent from the capital, and during his coming voyage of 1,200 miles down the Mississippi river it has been plan ned to operate on the presidential craft a wireless telegraph station which will enable quick communica- C Continued on Page Eight. PIERS0NGH0SEN. Brooklyn Man President Nation al Bankers' Asseciation. Has for Many Years Taken an Important Part. LAST DAY OF MEETING Convention Closes With Session Today. the James Forgan of Chicago De livers an Address. Chicago, Sept. 17. Bankers represent ing every state in the Union met today :n a Closing session of the American Bankers' Association convention. An important feature of the day's program was an address by James For- g-an, president of the First National b&nk of Chicago, on "The efficiency and the limitations of bank supervision by examination, and the responsible source of bank management." Reports from the various sections and from the standing law and the fed eral legislative committees were pre sented. In the election of officers scheduled for late today there was no opposition to tewi3 i. Pierson of Brooklyn for president. Mr. Pierson, now the first vice president of the association, was unanimously nominated for president by the committee on selection of offi cers. liewls E.' Pierson, New President National Bankers' Association. He has for years been allied with the American Bankers association and has been active as the chairman of the committee on uniform bills of lading and of the executive committee. He was was born in 1870 in Metucken. N. J, Condemn Guaranty Law. Resolutions condemning in strong terms both guaranty deposits laws and the establishment of postal savings banks were adopted today by tlie American Bankers' association. In criticizing these two propositions Ar thur Reynolds of Des Moines, la,, chairman of the federal legislative committee, referring to the postal sav ings bank, declared that the "danger of the political use of such a power should cause all patriotic men to hesitate be fore adopting such a radical measure." He also took issue with President Taft On the question of the investment of the funds deposited in such savings bank. In this connection he declared that the legislative committee was op posed, should a postal savings bank hilt become a law, to the investing of such funds in either United States bonds or state and municipal bonds. "The investment of $600,000,000 or $700,000,000 in United States bonds as has been advocated recently by our chief executive," he said, "would be a serious mistake and menace our na tion's credit as it is to other countries where such investments are made." As a substitute for these plans the committee recommended state and fed eral supervision and the creation of separate savings departments in na tional banks. This resolution was re ferred to the currency commission of the association. Banker Gives Tea to Ladles. A feature of the bankers' convention was not on the programme and which, it was promised, would never be known to any but those present, was a tea partv given yesterday afternoon in the Japanese room of the Congress hotel to the women attending the meeting. The host, Wm. Cornwell, of the bank ing firm of J. S. Bache, New York, was the only man present. Mr. Cornwell, first president of the New York Bankers' association an.1 prominent author of financial publica tions, for years protested that the wo men who accompanied their husbands to the conventions did not figure prop erly in the festivities. Five years ago he ceased deploring these conditions and gave a tea party to all the women of the delegation, pledging them to secrecy. The custom has been followed yearly since. Last year, at Denver, the story leaked out. and Mr. Cornwell was exceptionally slv about the tea party of this meeting. The affair was a great success in the opinions of all those present.

Learned of the Killing When Body f Arn Was Found. Little River Woman Describe Incidents Relating to Murder. Lyons, Kan., Sept. 17. Interest in the Brewer murder trial reached its culmination, when Mrs. Myrtle Brewer, the defendant,;, charged with the murder of Fred Arn at Little River on the night of May 12, took the stand in her own defense. Mrs. Brewer's story followed closely the lines of the story of the tragedy printed at the time, except that she claims, if the shooting: was done by her, it was accidental. Mrs. Brewer Denies Murder Charge. Mrs. Brewer said that on the night of the killing- she had put her little daughter to bed and had gone down stairs. When she returned the little one met her at the head of the stairs and told her a man was looking in the window. Mrs. Brewer said this frightened her and she went to one of her boarders and borrowed a re volver telling him she was afraid to sleep in the room without a weapon Later she went down stairs again to lock the back door and was attracted by a noise in the yard. She stepped out, weapon in hand, and saw a man. "Who are you?" she asked. There was no response. She re peated the question, adding: "Go on awav or I will shoot." Revolver Exploded as She Fell. The man 'started to run toward her, she said. This frightened her and instead of shooting, she turned and ran toward the house. She stumbled, partly fell and the weapon was discharged, bns aldn t aim ana did not know whether the bullet hit anything or anybody. -.The man-ran away and next morning1 she heard of the death of Fritz Am. The body was found outside the yard of her home. Audience Smiles at Woman's Story. Persons from Little River smiled Incredulously at Mrs. "Brewer's story, but It forms a strong defense..

Sheriff "Wilson was instructed to meet the Santa Fe train, subpoena-Conduc tor Thompson and compel him. to come to court and testify. This is an unusual procedure and indicates that the con ductor's testimony is needed badly. It is said to be the intention of the stat-. to try to prove by him that it had been the custom of Mrs. Brewer and Arn o visit other towns together, with a vivv to showing an improper intimacy in their relations. It is believed the testimony is about concluded. The arguments of counsel will be heard Saturday, and the case is likely to go to the jury Saturday even ing or Monday morning. GOV. JOHNSON BETTER. Doctors Say There Is Now Promise of Speedy Recovery. Rochester,, Minn., Sept. 17. Gover nor Johnson's condition today is much more hopeful, and while the danger from pneumonia and other complica tions is by no means over, there is promise of a speedy recovery. It is said, however, that five days must elapse before a positive state ment of ultimate recovery can be made. It was said at the hospital today that the governor's pulse was steady. The first bulletin issued today Indi cated that the patient had passed a satisfactory night, sleeping five hours. His temperature was 98.5, pulse 105.

MR. TREATIS OUT Treasurer of United StatesGives Up His Place. Resignation to Take Effect Some Time in October. A LACK OF HARMONY. Relations With Officials in De partment Not Cordial. Addressed Bankers' Association in Toptka in 1907. Washington, Sept. 17. United States Treasurer Charles H. Treat has resigned from that office to take effect in October. No successor has yet been chosen so far as known. The announcement of the resigna tion was authorized by Mr. Treat. Mr. Treat said that his resignation will ake effect "some time in October." This means that he will await the appointment by the president of a suc cessor, it is said, will be announced Chas. H. Treat, Who Resigned Today shortly. Large and growing business interests and the death of some of his associates who have directed his pri vate business affairs, Mr. Treat said have made it imperative that he should give these matters his imme- ciate and exclusive attention. For some time the relations between Mr. Treat and some of the higher offi cials of the department have not been as cordial as during the receding ad ministration- and Mr. Treat did not participate in some of the conferences in which the treasury usually figures. He has been in close touch with some cf the leading banking interests in New York and is an intimate friend of Senator Aldrich who has frequently consulted with him on financial legis lation. Prominent in Politics. Charles Henry Trea'. is a native of aMine. His early education was secur ed at the Eastern Maine Conference Seminary at Buckspovt, Me. Later h-s attended Bates college at Lewiston and graduated from Dartmouth with the cegree of B. S. After he left college his father, who was a member of a firm controlling 28 trading vessels gave him employment in the business which in cluded commerce with the Wet Indies end South American- seaports. His first political venture was m 1876 when he stumped the state of Maine for Hayes and Wheeler, the Republi can national ticket leaders. He also n ode speeches in New York and New Jersey. In 1877 he removed to Dela ware and engaged in the manufactur ing business. In 1886 he broke into poli tics in this state. In 1888 he was dele gate at large from Delaware to the national Republican convention. Helped Nominate Harrison. The delegation, was divided, but Mr. Treat managed to solidify all the ele ments so that the entire delegation went for Benjamin Harrison. At this convention Mr. Treat sec onded the nomination of Levi P. Morton for vice president. This same year Mr. Treat was nominated for congres but was not elected. In 1888 he conducted the state Republican campaign and succeeded in landing a Republican majority in the state' leg islature for the first time in Dela ware's history. As a result of his work, the state was represented by her first Republican United States senator. He himself was the leading candidate for this honor but in the Republican caucus lost out by two votes. After this campaign Mr. Treat re moved to New York city. From 1892 he took a. great Interest in the local politics of his city and state. He re ceived the appointment of collector of internal revenue for the Second New York district in 1897, and held the position until he resigned June 30, 1905 to accept the position of treas urer of tire United States, to succeed Ellis H. Roberts. Is a Very Wealthy Man. Mr. Treat is generally regarded as a very wealthy man. Shortly after the close of the Spanish-American war, he organized the Manila Naviga tion company in which several capitalists are also represented. Of this company, Mr. Treat Is now president. He is also president of a number of manufacturing companies and is one of the trustees of the Grant monument. Mr. Treat was married shortly af ter his graduation from Dartmouth. He has a summer home at Orange, N. J. What a Change Means. A change In the treasurership of the United States Is a more elaborate Ui- dertaking than most persons Imagine, mvery dollars of the money in the van ous subtreasuries must be counted, and if there is a shortage of a cent the re tiring official must make It good out of his own pocket. When It is considered how widespread are the ramification of Uncle Sam s pecuniary operations and that the current business of the gov ernment must go on in the usual man ner while the count of funds is being made the magnitude of the task upon which accountants are now at work may be appreciated. Mr. Treat was in Topeka, May 21 1907, when he addressed the State Bankers' association wnieh was in session at that time. His address was well attended and enjoyed by large audience of Kansas bankers and Topeka people. BELIEVES IN COOK. M. Olivier, Belgian. Scientist. Com ments on Peary's Attacks. Dresden, Sept. 17. M. Olivier, a member of the executive committee of the Belgian Antarctic expedition In 1897. who is now in Dresden, to day expressed the opinion that Bel gian scientists generally had full con fidence in Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who, M. Olivier says, has won the es teem and admiration of the Belgian committee and the Belgian Antarctic expedition, of which he was a mem ber, by his quiet and aunassuming de meanor, his integrity and his de as Treasurer of the Cnlted States. termination. If obliged to judge be tween the narratives of Dr. Cook and Commander Peary,- M. Olivier said he would- place greater reliance on the former. Continuing M. Olivier said he was astonished at the dissimilarity between the two stories. Dr. Gook's state ment regarding the temperature at the pole was confirmed by previous observations. Peary s estimate was too low. M. Oliver said frankly that he dis believed Peary's statement that he had traveled 25 miles a day and he thinks the confession of the com mander that he took only one man to the pole with him because he wanted to have the honor of dis covering the pole all to himself sup plies a clew for his attacks on Dr. Cook. The 34 hours Peary spent at the pole was insufficient to take copious observations. M. Olivier who was 1 plainly much incensed at Commander Peary, said it would require more than abuse of Dr. Cook to win credit for Peary's story in Europe. Continuing, he declared Prof. Oberhummer, with whom he had talked did not reject Dr. Cook's re cital, but was merely awaiting his evidence. The professor had read part of Peary's narrative and found it even less convincing than Dr. Cook's. GRAIN NEN IN SESSION Over Four Hundred Delegates Visit Chicago Board of Trade. Chicago, Sept. 17. Grain men from all over the country and a few from Europe, In all more than 400, will be on the board of trade today. It will be the largest gathering of its kind that the grain trade has ever undertaken, and is for business end pleasure. Extensive decorations have been made in the ex change hall, and all is in readiness for the reception, which is to last two days. Importance Is attached to the busi ness meeting at which all the leading problems which confront the grain trade are to be discussed. BUILDING FALLS DOWN. Three Workmen Killed in Collapse at Chicago. Chicago, Set. 17. A three t story brick building nearing completion at North Sawyer and Milwaukee avenues, collapsed here today. Three workmen were killed, five are reported missing and 15 were injured. Two bodies were recovered. ROBBERS CRACK A SAFE Get Three Thousand Dollars From Neosho Falls Bank. Neosho Falls, Kan., Sept. 17. Three robbers early today entered the Neosho Falls State bank, dynamited the safe and escaped with $3,000 in cash.

President In Chicago Speech De. plores Laws Delays. Would Have National Commis sion to Consider Reforms. HIS TALKS OX UXI05. Would Himself Be a Union Labor 11 an. Congratulates Laboring Men on Opposition to Socialism. Chicago, Sept. 17. Speaking with great earnestness to a mass meeting in Orchestra hall last night President Taft declared that no question before the American people today Is more import ant than the Improvement of the ad ministration of Justice and announced his intention of recommending to con gress the appointment of a commission to take up the question of the laws delay in the federal courts. The presi dent said he hoped that the report of this commission when rendered, would serve as a guide to the states of the Union, in effecting remedial legislation. The president received an uproarous greeting when he reached Orchestra hall last night to make the only set speech of his stay in Chicago. Mr.. Taft devoted the entire first part of his speech to the subject of labor and said he intended to recommend to congress in his first message legislation to carry out the platform prom.se ana campaign pledges us to Injunctions that o injunctionorrestrainingorder should be issued without notice except whero irreparable injury would result from de lay, in which .case a speedy hearing should be granted. The president declared anew his be lief In organized labor and congratula ted the leaders of the movement that They have set their faces like flint against the doctrines of socialism." Taking up next the subject or tne courts, the president asserted -with an earnest emphasis that the admin- stration of criminal law today is a disgrace to American civilization. Ashamed of the fa.ct.as Americans mignt well be, he declared that the poor man. has not-now an eaual opportunity with the rich litigant and said it was his tmmose to do what he could to place the poor man on a more equal footing. The president frequently was inter rupted with cheers. President Taft's Speech. President Taft spoke at .Orchestra hall as follows: My Fellow Citizens of Chicago: It s lust about a year ago tonight that made a speecn in this nail to soma .00 members- of the railroad labor or ganizations in which I attempted to convince them that there, was nothing in my decisions as a circuit judge in labor injunction cases which ougnt to make :hem vote against me for the residency. You will remember perhaps that the head of the Federation of La bor, who had declared for my oppon ent, was anxious to carry the whole vrion labor vote against me and, as the ground for his action was my de cisions as a judge, I was put under the burden which I think no other candi date for the presidency ever had to bear of explainirg and defending in a. political contest-the decisions which I lad made as a judge upon tne Dencn. It was assumed by many who thought themselves 'familiar with the situation that I would lone a large part of the labor vote, which had heretofore been evenly divided between the Republicans and the Democrats. The result showed that this assumption was incorrect and. that labor men union labor as well as nonunion labor men thought for them selves, and declined to be delivered as a body to one party or the other. "In the discussions I asserted that I was as much Interested as anyone in maintaining the cause labor, when la bor, organized or unorganized, by proper methods sought to better Its condition by legislation or otherwise. I said that I expected to recommend to congress. If I were elected, that inter state railroads be required to adop any additional safety appliances. I aUo said that I favored the adoption of leg islation looking to a proper definition of the cases in which preliminary injunc tions might Issue without notice and defining the procedure In such matters. Stand on Injunction Legislation. "Now that the election has come and gone, I want to take this opportunity of saying that I have not forgotten iny own promises or those of the platfo.-m and I propose in the next session of congress to recommend the legislation on the subject of injunction which was promised in the Republican platform and to see whether by such legislation it is not possible to avoid even a few cases of abuses that can be cited, against the federal courts in the exer cise of their Jurisdiction. I know there is an element among employers of labor and Investors of capital which is ut terly opposed to the organization of la bor. I cannot sympathize with this ele ment in the slightest degree. I think It is a wise course for laborers to unite to defend their Interests. It Is a wleo course for them to provide a fund by which, should occasion arise and strikes or lockouts follow those wno lose their, places may be supported pending an adjustment of the difficul ties. I think the employer who declines to deal with organized labor and r. ognize It' as a proper element In the settlement of wage controversies Is be hind the times. There Is not the slightest doubt that if labor had malned unorganized wages would be very much lower. There Is a highr Standard of living among American la borers than In a any country in tlie world and, while there have doubtlef. been a good many other reasons for this certainly the effect of the rate of wages making such a standard of liv ing possible. Nothing I have said, or shall say, should be construed Into an attitude of criticism against, or u.i friendly, to the worklngmen who, for any reason, do not Join unions. Their right to labor for such wages as thy choose to accept Is sound and any law less, invasion of that right cannot be loo severely condemned. Would Be Union Stan.

Time of game 1:35. Pueblo 2-9, Denver 0-7. Denver, Colo.. Sept. 17. Denver took a still further drop here yester day when she dropped both games of St double header to the Pueblo team. Oalgano bested Adams in a pitchers' battle in the first game and in the second game Swift had the better of the argument with Knoll, the new Denver twirler from the Tri-State league. Darkness ended the second game in the seventh, inning. In the last of this inning when two Denverites were on bases, Chris Lindsay, who was batting was struck in the head by a pitched ball. It was feared for a. few minutes that he was tin conscious for he fell to the ground and did not regain consciousness for several minutes. He is thought to be seriously Injured. When play had been resumed Stankard hit for three If an old sore existed simply because th.4 fhah' nu 3taa&e4 that particular spot, it would ba an easy matter to apply somo remedy directly to the place that would kill the germs; or the diseased Ussb, might be removed by a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even return after being cut away, shows that back of them is a morbid cause which must be removed before a cure can result. Just as long as the pollution continues in the blood, the ulcer remains an open cesspool for the deposit of impurities which the circulation throws off. a. 9. s. m om annu v,,, ,if; v,i t M riAT" .v '1!TT iut uuiumugii, sua uua uuiuiMwieiy uues away Wltn tne cause.

The Western League season closes Sep tember 28. The Bears return to Den ver next Friday for a series of three games each with Pueblo, Wichita and Topeka. Generally speaking no money has been made by the Western League magnates. The good baseball towns of the circuit have had poor teams, and the cities where the patronage has been poor have the best players and teams In the league. Des Moines, per haps the poorest baseball town in the league, has a splendid team, one which has been fighting a neck and neck race with last year's champions for first place, and yet so meager has been the rubhe's support of the team that it has been sold to St. Joe. I doubt very seriously if tb.9 Denver club has made much this year, but it is certain that the club is not a loser.

I need not point" out the de plorable results in this country if iraues unionism oecame a synonym ror socialism. rneBe who are not in active control of the federation of labor and all the great railroad labor organizations have set their faces like flint against the propaganda of social istic principles. "Our friends of the ereat unions at times complain of our courts, more pernans because Of the decisions In injunction cases than for anything else, i nave already rererred to this particular phase, of litigation in which they nave an Interest but when the subject of courts is mentioned it suggests to me a large field for com plaint and reform in which all citi zens are Interested and have a right to be heard. Opposed to Law's Delays. There is no subject upon which I feel so deeply as upon the necessity for reform in the administration of both Civil and criminal law. To sum it all 'up In one phrase the dilficulty In both Is undue delay. It Is not too much to say that the administration of criminal law In this country is a disgrace to our civilization and the prevalence Of crime and fraud which here is greatly in excess of that in the European countries is due largely to the failure of law and its administrators to bring criminal to Justice. "I am sure that this failure is not due to corruption of officials. It is not due to their negligence or laziness though of course there may be both in some cases; Dut it is chiefly due to the Bystem against which it is impossible for an earnest prosecutor ahd an efficient judge to struggle. We inherited our syrtem of criminal prosecution and the con stitutional i provisions ior tno pro tection of the accused in his trial from England and her laws. We in herited from her. the Jury trial. All these limitations and the Jury system still are maintained in England but thev have not Interfered with an effective prosecution of criminals and their punishment. in this country mere seems to have been on the part of all state legislators a fear of the judge and not of the jury and the power which he exercises in an English court has by legislation been reduced from time to time, until now this is especially true In western states, he has hardly more power than the moderator in a religious assembly. The tendency of legislation Is to throw the reins on the back of the jury and to let them follow their own sweet will, in fluenced by all the arts of counsel for the defendant. These defects are emphasised in the delays which occur in the trials aeiays maae necessary because the trials take so great a time. The English Way. "It is true that in England they have enlarged the procedure to the point of allowing an appeal from adjournment In a criminal caS- to a court of appeals,' but counsel are not permitted to mouse tnrontn tne record to find errors that' in IU6 trial seemed of little account W the court of appeal. This is another defect ol our procedure. No criminal is con tent with a judgment of the court be low, and well may he not be becaiis tne record of reversals Is so great at to encourage it In every case and to hang important judgments In appellate proceedings sometimes for years. I do not know when the re forms are to be brought about in this country. Until our people shall become fully aware and in some con crete way be made to suffer from the escape of criminals from just judgment In this country the system may continue. One of the methods by which it could be remedied in some degree is to give Judges more power in the trial of criminal cases and enable them to aid the Jury in its consideration of facts and tc exercise more control over the argu ments that counsel see fit to advance. "Then It is undoubtedly true thai In England, lawyers in the conduct of their cases feel much more and respect much more their obligation to assist the court in administering Justice and restrain themselves from adopting desperate and extrem methods for which American law yers are. even applauded. Reform in Civil Code. But refor m!n our criminal nrr. cedure is not the only reform that w cught to have in our courts. On the eivii side of the courts trtre is un'.ie delay and this always w. sks for he oenenc or tne man :t;i the lonv?;t purse. It used to be thought that system by which cases involving small amounts could be carried to the snp-eme court through two or three courts of intermediate appeal was a rerfect system, because it gave the poor msn the same right to ao to tho supreme court as a rich man. Nothing is further from the truth. What the por man needs Is a prompt decision of his case, and, by limiting the ap peals in cases involving small amounts of money so that there shall bo a final decision in the lower court, an oppor tunity Is given to the poor rtigant to secure a Judgment in time to enjoy It and not after he has exhausted all his resources in litigating to the supreme court. "I a.n a lawyer and a?nit c, mv Pro fession, but I must admit tltat we have had too many lawyers in legislat ing on legal procedure and they have been prone to think that litigants were made for the purpose of furnishing business to courts and lawyers and not courts and lawyers for the benefit of the peiplo and litigants. More than thU, I am bound to say that in the "ef .5' Z!'?.?' tlon, and, indeed, the time of It, con gress and the federal court have not set a good example. It certainly in possible to introduce a simpler form of procedure both in suits In law and suits in equity. "I conceive that the situation is now ripe for the appointment of a commis sion by congress to take up the ques tion of the law's delays in the federal courts and to report a system which shall not only secure quick and cheap justice to the litigants, in the federal courts, but shall offer a model to the legislators and courts of the states by the use of which they can themselves Institute reforms. Abolish Fee System. "I would abolish altogether the sys tem of payment of court officers by fees, the fee system may be properly continued for the reimbursement of the public treasury by' litigants, spe cially interested, but the fees ought to be reduced to the lowest point and the motive for increasing the expense of litigation that arises from the r.ayment of the compensation out of fees to court offleers should be removed, t I dc not think that the delay in Justice are due to any niggardly on tho part of the public in appropriating to meet the expenses ot administration. The evil lies deeper In the system which I have referred to only in a most summary way. Of all tho ques tions that are before the America'i people I regard no one as more Im portant than this, to-wit: "The improvement of the adminis tration of Justice. We must make it io tr-e poor n.an will have as nearly c possible an opportunity in litigation as bc rich man and under i-ioent con ditionsj as ashamed as we may bo cf it, this is not the fact. "And now. mv friends. I have sub jected you to a rather solemn discus iion of a rather solemn subject. Carry Out Kooseveii itfiorms.

Mr. Grimes looked over property for himself and a number of business men of Topeka, and after a very thorough examination of San Diego in direct comparison with other points in Southern California was unqual ified in his approval both from standpoint of home and investment. He has purchased property there himself and on his report the others inter ested are purchasing. Mr. Grimes has consented to our using his name as a reference and others wishing to invest we will gladly refer to him or any other that knows the "San Diego of Today" and has been in and seen our display and consequently can understand our proposition as we pre sent it One of the Great Opportunities of the day.

The export report for the fiscal year 1909 indi cates that the trade of the g ulf ports is increasing more rapidly than the amount of business handled by the Atlantic ports. In the matter of import trade, the eulf ports also show a high rate of increase. The Mexican border ports teem to share this boom in export and Import traffic this progress being ap parently due to the development of the railroads. The gulf ports are the only group of trade centers showing an increase Jn exports during the past fiscal year as compared with 1908 the exports from the ports amounting to 41U--finn nnn o n inmusp of thirteen ana one-half millions. These figures are given in the statement of the bureau of statistics summarizing the,m" merce of the United States in 1909. Taking the figures for 20 years, the statement shows that the increase in exports from the Atlantic ports has been 87 per cent, while the increase nt the Gulf ports has been 28 per cent. The gain made by the Mexican border ports in outbound commerce was at the rate of 575 per cent. A greater percentage of grain in Imports is also shown by the Gulf, Mexican border and the Lake ports. The statement follows: "The principal articles in which the drift seems to be away from the At lantic porta and toward the southern and- northern border- ports, respective ly, are cotton, which has greatly in creased in the movement through Gal veston and New Orleans and other southern ports and in the case of northern ports, grain, flour and mis cellaneous merchandise.

LIVE LIKE KINGS. Secretary Wilson Says Western Farm ers Are Prosperous. Washington. Sept. 17. "The average laborer is today living better than Queen Elizabeth did In her time," said James Wilson, secretary of agriculture today upcr. his return from a. mouth's vacation on his Iowa farm. He was discussing the prosperous farmers of the west and the high wages of the working man in th-i east. "Take the meat bills of the laborers in Washington today." he continued, "You will find that they eat meat three times a day most of them and what is more, they are not content with any kind; they want the best cuts. They can artorct them. As a. result the price of meat is away up. While the farm ers are producing beef every year, they are not producing enough to meet the Increase in population. I do. not look for the prices to decrease materially soon. The secretary was asked if the west ern farmers were really investing such large sums of money in automobiles. "There is too much truth m those reports," he responded. "The farmer Is out of debt; he has paid for his farm, his fences and his machinery. He has money in his pockets and bie eroos continue to come on. He is afraid to invest in eastern securities lest a year might bring trouble there. As a result he puts his money in luxuries irstead of channels that might give a return. While farmers In the east do lot know what luxuries are, they must go west to nnd that out. "The rainier is still handlearmerf hv lack of labor. Too many have gone irom tne xarm to tne sidewalk.

Anticipated disorders failed to ma terialize and the strike was over. It is believed now that the trouble has been definitely settled. EATEN BY WILD BEASTS SANTOS DUJIOXT IS GENEROUS. His Models and Aeroplane Patents at Disposal of All Comers. Paris. Sept. 17. Santos Dumont has received in the last few days several orders for aeroplanes of the "Butter fly" model, the small machine on which he flew a few days ago with remarkable rapidity. He has said in reply that he is not building aero planes for money, but that his patents and models are held at the disposal of all comers with the sole object of advancing and popularizing the art of flying.

The fall maneuvers of the French army in which 60,000 men are engaged are at tracting particular attention on ac count of the work of the dirigible bal loon Republique, attached to the army of defense. Although the field of operation is hilly and wooded, the Re publique ascertained and disclosed to the defenders the plan of .he enemy's campaign and prevented the former from falling into a skilfully contrived trap.

TIFTORT OP TTTR A BSOCf ATKI PRFSa The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full dav telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for tne exclusive luerauun pnbllcatlon In Topeka. Ti m maws la ?vi In The tate Jour- nal building nvc wires for this sole pur- President Taft Is on his way but It is a mighty poor one because it does not include Kansas. Seantor La Follette certainly hates peace. He has dlbbed into the Bal- llnger-Plnchot controversy. The Boston Post has it all figured eut that Cod made the neck, man made the collar and the devil made the starch. Abdul Hamid. the deposed Sultan cf Turkey, is writing a history of his reign. Presumably, he Is using blood for ink. If there is any character around these parts who needs a good skin ning it is Mr. Jack Frost. The apple crop for this year worked out on a 15 per cent basis. Perhaps it is just as well that the government weather bureau has de cided not to deliver a verdict in the Peary-Cook controversy. Nobody would put any stock in it. Inasmuch as the name of the gen tleman who says he caught a 339 pound sword-fish off the Catalina Is lands is Conn, it is most reasonable to add considerable salt in taking this little fish story- President Taft says he is an "itiner ant preacher" aftd" as such' he' ought to be a gre'at drawer of crowds because nothing like' a collection plate is passed around when he stops to de liver a "sermon;' Score another one for the railroads running- through Kansas. They are anxious to have enforced the order re cently issued by the state board of railroad commissioners .against the "smashing" of baggage: It is really too bad that a few of those nice ings which are being said these days about the late E. H. Harriman could not have been spoken while he was alive. But, then, that has ever been the way of the world. It has remained for the Cleveland Leader to furnish the. best excuse for the omission of the Bible from the list of books which Dr. Eliot selected for his five-foot shelf. "That one," says the Leader, "ought never to be n the shelf." The St. Paul Pioneer Press hits the nail nearly on the head when it re marks that from the developments the tariff revision will be satisfactory to everybody except Republicans, Dem ocrats, Prohibitionists, Socialists, the Independents, and those who do not vote. Latest reports are to the effect that the dove of peace has spread its wings over the boundaries of Peru and Bo livia. The chances are, though, that this fair bird will soon flap those wings and fly away for it has never been Its habit to work on any one job in" South America for a continued period. A news dlsp'atch comes from "Wash ington every other day now to the effect that Dr. Duranti. the dlreector of the census, is taking all sorts of pre cautions to follow the desires of Presi Cent Taft to the end that census super visors and enumerators shall not par ticipate actively In politics. Consider able energy which is being expended In this wise might have been conserved if more dyed-in-the-wool politicians had not been named as census supervi sors. Canada now claims all the land dis covered by Cook and Peary in and around the vicinity of the North Pole. From the explorers' reports of it there is little chance that rhe United States will go to war with Canada for the possession of this land or even fight the matter out before an International tribunal of arbitration. Canada is quite welcome to it. No one would take it as a gift unless it might be a few en effect that Dr. Durand, the director of build ice forts and play with snow balls all the year round. According to the New York World that $29,000,000 fine once imposed on the Standard il company wiU look like a pigmy when compared with a fine which the federal department of Jus tice Is planning to have the courts as sess against certain railroads. They are to be accused of rebating to steam fehip lines on an immense scale and penalties are to be asked against them which will aggregate $49,000,000. Ro membering the outcome of the Stand ard Oil case it is likely that the rail-1 toads are not lying awake flights and! worrying over being forced into the hands of receivers or put out of bus! ness entirely by such a fine as thlsl GOV. STUBBS AND PARDONS. n.vmently the "sob squad" ia not going to have much success in secur ing pardons from- Governor Stubbs, ana particularly that portion of it which seeks to get out of prison those men who appropriated the money of others while they held positions of trust with fiduciary institutions. "I don't believe In going quite as far as they do in China when a man entrusted with other people's money steals it," said Governor Stubbs the other day when he announced his denial of an application for the par don of a convict banker, "but I do believe in keeping them in the penitentiary. You can say for me that not very many bankers will get out of the penitentiary during the next year and a half if I have any thing to do with it." This ia nothing but an exceedingly proper stand for a state's executive to take. There are no meaner or more dastardly thieves in the world than the bank officials who rob the money drawer and who accept de posits in banks that they know to be well on the way to insolvency. For the most part they are men above the average intelligence, men who oc cupied most prominent positions in their respective communities up until the time that their baseness becomes public, men who have many in fluential and powerful friends and ac quaintances who are beholden to them in time past for valuable favors. As soon as they go wrong all sorts of aid is rushed to them and fre quently they are able to dodge their just deserts. If they are convicted and sent to prison only a little time elapses before concerted efforts are undertaken to get their releases through pardons, and altogether too many of these have been granted in times past. Governor Stubbs is on the right track in the handling of these cases. The adequate punishment of bank wreckers by their detention in prison for the maximum terms they are sen tenced is a debt due society that should be discharzed in full. THE PASSION FOR ACHIEVEMENT 'What are the motives which keep men slaving after they have acqul-cd a competence?" 'Is ambition a seifish attitude?' These and similar questions have often been asked me," writes Owen Sewett Warden in "Success Magazine" for September. The passion for conquest, for power, the love of achievement, is one of the most dominant and perlstent charac teristics of human nature. With most men the bread-and-butter and housing problem, is only one, and often one of the least, of the motives for an active career. "We have an instinctive feeling that we have been set in motion by a highe -power; that there is an invisible spring within us the 'imperious must' wh'oh impels us to go onward, to weave the pattern given us in the Mount of Transfiguration of our highest moment, to make our life-vision real. A divine impulse constantly urges us to reach upward to our highest ideal. There is something back of our supreme am bition deeper than a mere personal gratification. We instinctively feel tr-at there is a vital conection between it and the great plan of creation, the pro gress, the final goal of the race. We are dimly conscious that we o-ve something to the world, and that it is our duty to pay the debt. There 13 something within us which protests against our living idle, purpose'ess lives; which tells us that our debt -to the race is a personal one; that it can not be paid by our acestors, by proxy. It tells us that our message to human ity is not transferable; that we must deliver it ourselves. No matter how much money we may have, we don't feel quite right really happy unless we are doing our part of the world's work. We feel that it is mean, con temptible, to be drones in the great hu man hive; to eat, drink, wear, and use what others earn by hard labor. e have a sneaking feeling that we are criminals; that it is unworthy of us to shirk a manly or womanly part In lire; it violates our sense of justice, of fairness. "These promptings of humanity and the yearning of every normal man and woman for a fuller, completer lifo; the craving for expansion, for growth; the desire to objectify our life-visions, to give birth to the children of our brain, to exercise our inventiveness. our Ingenuity, to express our artistic temperament, our talents, whatever they may be; the inherent, instinctive longing to become that which wo were Intended to be; to weave the life-pattern given us at birth these are the impelling motives for a creative ca reer." AN UNREASONABLE DEMAND. It ought to strike most persons that the petition, which has been filed -with the county attorney re questing him to begin proceedings to oust the commissioners of Shawnee county from office because of their action in disposing of the. bonds of the Kansas, Colorado Southern Railway company, a subsidiary of the Missouri Pacific, makes a demand which is decidedly unreasonable. These bonds were sold for a price which was considerably less than might have been secured, and for this the county commissioners have been Justly and severely criticized. Ttye sale of .the bonds was also question able as to its legality because It was effected through brokers who made for themselves a fat fee. But that is all there is to the proposition. There ia not the slightest reason to suppose, nor has the charge ever been made by any one who is familiar with the details of the tran saction that the county commission ers, collectively, or Individually, par ticipated ia anything in the connection with the sale of these bonds which has the slightest suspicion of being "crooked." Their gravest offense has been the making of an error of judg- ment. In view of the prices at which these bonds had been? previously selling they -no jJ,oUbt thought that they were doing a good thing 'by the county In making the trade they did. Nor has any question ever been raised that they purposely adopted an illegal method for selling the bonds. They thought that they had a perfect right to sell them the way they did. Per haps they did have the right for that question Is yet to be settled by the courts. If they did not, this and the other mistakes that they made in letting -the bonds go for the price that they sold are, p.s has been stated, nothing worse than errors of judgment. They are not sufficient excuses for their removal from of fice. The county commissioners are nothing more than human beings. They are quite as likely to make a mistake occasionally in the transac tion of public affairs as every man Is in the pursuits of private life. It .is unfortunate that they made such a serious blunder but a greater one would be made if they were retired from office because of It. There is not a scintilla of evidence that they were guilty .of any kind of wrong-doing in this bond transaction. If there had be'en the casa would have a different aspect. On the whole the present members of the county governing board have discharged their duties with the utmost care and to the satisfaction of the taxpayers of the county. They are walking in the same excellent steps that have been followed by all of the Shawnee coun ty commissioners for the past few years. To even attempt to turn them out of office for the making of a mistake, serious In a way though it was, would not speak very well for the intelligence of the people they have been serving so efficiently. JOURNAL ENTRIES Folks who are real exclusive miss a whole lot of the enjoyable things in life.

"Man wants but little here below," sang a bard and that is Just what most of them get. If it were not for hope of better things in the future more people would go via the suicide route.

Perhaps divorce would have no ter rors for the average man if that thing called alimony had not been invented. If a fellow has the right girl sitting along side him he can enjoy almost any old thing in the way of a theatri cal production. JAYHAWKER JOTS The Lawrence Journal could not re frain from suggesting that Dr. Cook did not find the pole-cat. The Chanute Tribune casually re marks that the season for pumpkin pie, "not the embalmed kind.", is here. A discovery has been made by the Parsons Sun that poison ivy adds nothing to the general Joy of a Sun day school picnic. "Don't be deceived by every man who pats you on the back," says the Hill City Republican. "Possibly he would prefer to punch your head." The 'Atchison Globe has started a department of "hog trough philos ophy" and the first thing the Globe knows some one of its men will be putting his foot in it. Commenting on the fact that a con ductor who worked on the Central Branch committed suicide, the Law rence World says: "The only wonder is that he held out that long."- We note with some degree of ner vousness that towns about here are having ordinances to punish men for swearing Inside the city limits. If this thing reaches Concordia we don't see how we are going to run the gasoline engine in the office, and we'll have to get rid of our automobile. Gomer Davies. "Lifting the Curse from Kansas," is the title of an article in a current magazine, dealing with the work which Secretary Coburn is doing and his success in bringing a deserved rep utation to our fair state, eays the Minneapolis Messenger and it con tinues: "The title is misleading. It should be 'Making the Knockers Bite Dust.' GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe, j We become so tired of the contro versies that go on. The Lord loves a cheerful giver, but where does He find one? When puppy love has its way, it is apt to lead to a dog's life a little later. We are willing to accept any law the legislature cares to adopt, if peo ple will quit quarreling about it. When a man starts to tell a funny story, and says, "I'll cut it short," it is a sign that he has himself been greatly boued by long stories. It sometimes happens that the wo man who works so hard she doesn't have much time for hair adornment on this earth, gets a highly decorated crown above. After a woman has married a man, and is where she has to make the best of it, there isn't any investment that will bring greater returns in peace of mind than to have faith in him. The smart women are wearing ankle bracelets. We hope the style will never reach Atchison. If an Atchison girl appeared with ankle bracelets everyone would say her gar ter had slipped down. Joe Schott, who returned from Eu rope Sunday, has not gone to work yet. Yesterday morning he started for his office, but at night found he had progressed only six blocks; there were so. many to tell his experiences to. Just at this time, when we are all wrought up over the Cook-Peary con troversy, we hope there will be no at tempt to revive the affair between the Duke of Atfruzzi and Katherine Elk ins. We couldn't stand so much ex citement at once. When the discovery was made that the stock of chlnaware at the home of Lysander John Appleton was get ting low, Daysey Mayme had a bright idea. "We will give a china wedding," she said. The Appletons have been married over twenty years (they do say Daysey Mayme is near 30), but they do need the china, so Daysey Mayme has taken a tuck in her skirts, let her hair down In a-braid, and the invitations will be issued next week. KANSASCOMMENT FOREST RESERVES IN KANSAS. 'Tn the agricultural appropriation act for the year 1910, which was ap proved May 23, 1908, the following was incorporated: "That hereafter twenty-five per centum of all money received from each forest reserve during the fiscal year, including.the year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eight, shall be paid at the end thereof by the secretary of the treasury to the state or territory in which the reserve i Biiuatea, to be expended as the state or territorial legislature may prescribe for the. benefit of the pub lic schools and public roads of the county or counties in which the for est reserve is situated: Provided, that when any forest reserve Is in more than one state or territory or county the distributive share to each from the proceeds of said reserve shall be proportional to its area therein." A great many people will be- sur prised to learn that Kansas has any forest reserves and still more surpris ed to learn that they have been a source of revenue. Of course Kansas is not a timber state and has never ranked as such but the department of agriculture reports that under the provisions of the foregoing paragraph the net receipts from the national fi esta in the state for the year ending June 80, 1908. amounted to $4,693.00, twenty-five per cent of which would be $1,173.25. Leavenworth Times. MERCY WITH JUSTICE. Nothing is gained by being hard and a good deal is gained by being merciful. It looks as if Mrs. Barclay was insane on the single point of the incubator baby. She has put herself in the criminal class but nothing is gained by following it up. She has done a terrible thing but she has suf fered. It always pays to be charitable. If she coes free, for her work she has had punishment enough. Lawrence Journal. THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS. John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain are making the rounds of the county fairs, giving sparring exhibitions and taking in comfortable sums of money. The two are merely reminiscences. yet they make a hit everywhere. They are cnerisnea as relics of the days when prize fighters fought in the ring, and not in the newspapers. Emporia Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS COUNTERFEIT MONEY. Not once in ten years does the aver age citizen discover he has a counter felt coin among his small change or a bad bill in his paper money. Coun terfeit money is constantly being ut tered, but it usually has a very re stricted circulation geographically. But the confidence that one may feel in the genuineness of the medium of exchange costs the government a high price in vigilance and treasure. According to the report for the last fiscal year made by "Chief Wilkie, of the United States secret service, 400 arrests were made, ts against 345 for the previous twelwroonth. The ser vice was compelled: to seek out and convict a large number of Sicilians, who brought bad money from abroad and who, after coming here, turned their hands to the Imitation of Amer ican money. It is Chief Wilkie's opin ion that these counterfeiters were closely related to the Black Hand gangs which have been operating so actively. More than $40,000 In counterfeit notes was seized and about half as much in bad gold and silver coins. Plates, dies and apparatus were dis covered and destroyed. A side issue of the service has been the arrest of revolutionists from South and Central America who have made counterfeit money in this country for purposes of promoting revolts in their own lands. Toledo Blade. CALING A HALT. For some time It has been obvious to thoughtful friends of advanced lib eral education that some of the larger universities are drifting, or, as thought by many, only apparently drifting from. their moorings and sailing in waters which, however pleasant they may seem, are still not fully chartered, and which conceal dangeroous rocks. The experiment of allowing freedom of individual thought and utterances to instructors has in some instances, been given full scope, and the Institutions with which these men are connected have either Justly or unjustly suffered in consequence. The president of at least one of the major Universities appears to realize the desirability of not ignoring the Chirstian church in the grand scheme of education. In an address before the graduates of the Hartford Theological seminary. President Woodrow Wilson cf Princeton university, said: "To my thinking, the Christian church stands at the center not only of philanthropy, but at the center of education, at the center of science, at the center of philosophy, at the center of politics; in short at the center of sentiment and thinking life. And the business" of the Christian church, of the Christian minister, is to show the spiritual relations of men to the great world processes, whether they be phys ical or spiritual. It is nothing less than to show th.e plan of life and men's relation to the plan of life." Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. AN EPIC POET BANKRUPT. Something of the grim humor that leaves- a surreptitious tear behind it attaches to the history of Stephen Phillips, epic poet, slated for examina tion in bankruptcy proceedings in Lon don, and unable to come because he has not the money to buy a ticket from Brighton. Phillips has never produced, and never will produce, a "Henriade," a "Paradise Lost," or an Aeneld." But his. purpose is serious; he is a real poet, and isolated passages from his pen are worthy of all the tribute taste can render. Evidently the writing of epic poetry is not a profitable vocation in this age of the world. It can, in the nature of things, never be an avocation for anyone. Phillips, son of a clergyman, made a fair living for years as. a faithful, though not a great actor. He success fully kept the wolf from the door as an army tutor for six years. Then he took up literature as a profession. It has been said with more or less truth that if a new Milton were to offer a ned "Paradise Lost," nowa days, instead of getting almost $25 cash for the manuscript he would have to pay fifty times as much to get it published. The twentieth century has ajB HttlA iira fnv nAatrv a f nr mratorv. and for the poetry of Milton or the I plate, saying as she did so, "Aha, Mr. oratory of Gladsone it can find no use J Devil, I fooied you, didn't I?"

The Inspecting officers of the army this vear in their examinations into military conditions at various posts have been instructed to give careful consideration to what is described as the avoidable waste of property. The records show a startling extravagance. it has been asserted, and it is desired by those in authority who are resnon- sible for economical disbursement of the army fund to have this excess kept under better control. The waste comes about by means of condemna tion of public property which has either shown misuse or has had to be destroyed because it is rendered un serviceable. One of the inspecting of- ricers nas reported to the war depart ment that, after considerable expert ence, gained In various branches of the army stationed in all parts of the country and the Philippines and in Cuba, he is convinced that "the avoid able waste of property in our services is considerable. It has been observed by the inspecting officer that there is little waste where there is good dis cipline and administration, and a cor respondingly greater waste where the opposite conditions prevail. Among the remedies suggested as a check is the elevation of the standard of dis cipline, which prescription is consid ered too indefinite, however, for ail practical purposes. The recommendation has been made by one inspecting officer, whose report has been received by Inspector General Garlington, that there be pub lished each year in circular firm list of companies, troops, and batter ies, showing the money value oi prop erty destroyed for each organization during the year by survey and inspec ting officers. This would be a sort of admonitory list, a modified form of reprimand, which shows the relative care exercised by commanding offi cers in protecting public property in trusted to their keeping or issued to the soldiers under their command. In this way. it is believed, the attention of commanding officers and inspectors would be called to cases wnere waste in government property is going on and commanding officers would be made to feel that they are under spe cial surveillance. Washington i-is-patch to New York Tribune. Live-Savins Dog a Patient. With all the care and attention bestowed upon human beings, San flow, the net St. Bernard dog of the Manhattan Beach life-saving squad. who has a record of seventeen rescues to his credit, and who has won the affection of thousands of bathers, is being treated in the Pasteur Institute, 36 West Twenty third street, in the hope of prevent ing any ill results from a bite from a Meantime, his owner. Harry J. Pe gorsch, one of the life savers, is so worried that he has not been able to look after ambitious swimmers who go too far beyond the lire lines. Sandow is housed in the New York veterinary hospital, 117 West Twenty- fifth street, but tnree times a ua.y ne is taken to. the Pasteur institute, where Dr. W. L. Wheeler attends him. The operation is exactly the samn as that undergone by human hsinrs in similar circumstances. Serum is injected into the dogs back by means of a hypodermic syringe; but while with a man the treatment is, spread over eighteen days at the rate of one operation a day, in the same amount of serum will be administered in five or civ" Hnve RV.r- two weeks after the last inoculation the issue will hang in the KoiQn Tf after that time no symptoms of rabies have developed it -0.-111 h safe to conclude, accord ing to Dr. Wheeler's experience, that the disease nas oeen utwsiuuj in sisted. Dr. Wheeler says that San jn is on ideal oatient. taking the inoculation calmly and with far less trouble than the average numan ue ing does. Pegorsch lives with his brother at 1036 Coney Island avenue, Brooklyn, and he and the dog are inseparable companions. A salesman gave San do wto him when the dog was only a few weeks old. "That was six years ago when Pegorsch was life guard at Ravenhall's baths, at Coney Island. When the dog was between 5 and 6 months old his master began to train him to the water, and soon he became an adept life saver. It is known that he has saved at least seventeen persons irom arewnms, and his antics on tne Deacn at lobcj Island won him the acquaintance of hosts of visitors to that resort New York Herald. The Japs and Suicide. The Japanese system of philosophy teaches that death is the easiest means of escaping from the troubles of life, and, from statistics published in a French economic Journal, it is seen that suicide is something appal ling so far as numbers are concerned, in the "Land of the Chrysanthemum." From 1890 to 1897 7,000 cases were recorded; from -1898 to 1902 there were 8,000. In 1903 the number ex ceeded 9,000 and in 1904 it was 10, 000. Sixty per cent of the victims were men and 40 per cent women. A com parison is made with other countries. From 1887 to 1901 Denmark showed 253 to the million of people; France, 218; Switzerland, 216; Prussia, 197; Japan, 184; Austria, 159; Belgium, 12 2- Sweden, 119; Bavaria, 118; Eng land, 80; Norway, 80; Holland, 58; Scotland, 56; Italy, 52, and Ireland. 24 In the majority of cases in Japan the age of the victim is 60 and over. The principal causes are mental breakdown, difficulties of life, and chronic ill health. -May and Septem ber show the highest number of these deaths. Dundee Advertiser. Fooled Him. Katie," who had been taught that the devil tempts little girls to disobey, was left alone in a room for a time one day with the admonition not to touch a particularly delicious plate of fruit that stood on the table. For a while she bravely withstood the temptation. Finally, however, her resolution wavered and she took a big red apple from the plate. She walked away with it, but before putting it to her lips her courage returned. ad she quickly replaced the apple on the THE EVENING STORY An Hypothetical Rival. (By Henry Walker.)

Suppose you were a young fellow of some twenty-six years, the average allotment of good looks and talents, and a broken collar bone; suppose you were shut up to recuper ate in a Vermont farmhouse without a relative or friend within eighty miles you must suppose glorious weather outside of that farmhouse, as you go.

Jean's fan lay quietly in her lap; the little upward curves of her mouth lent her smile a slightly strained look She gave an unconcerned shrug at his question. "Burlington!

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Being sorry for others is often a mild form of boasting. Free lunch is usually the most ex pensive kind of board. Charity Is never satisfactory. The best way is not to need it. A lazy man can't see why others should be foolish enough to work. We are a good deal happier be cause of a lot of things we don't know. Many a man who has the courage of his convictions makes a fool of himself. The charity that begins at horn doesn't make many acquaintances abroad. If we could see ourselves as others see us we wouldn't believe quite all we see. Our idea of a padded-cell candi date Is a woman who fondles a dog for the purpose of trying to arouse a man's Jealousy. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Isn't it suite to live in a flat? A pessimist Is a man who would chew a pill. A pretty girl ln a hammock is out for the rocks. If a man has sufficient cheek his face is his fortune. Even the fellow with a pull should have a little push about him. Even when they are perfectly fresh some fish are smelt. It's the bone of contention that causes a man to lead a dog's life. The butcher who sells spring Iamb shouldn't look so sheepish about It. The psychological moment is about the most elusive thing in the world. When a fellow thinks his best girl is a treasure he naturally feels like a treasurer. The people who tell you life Isn't worth living are generally the first to yell for help when they get ln a tight place. Nell "Mrs. Henpeckke says her husband is undecided where to go this summer." Belle "She can't make up his mind, eh?" "Man wants but little here below," quoted the Wise Guy. "That la, he wants but little below the average," added the Simple Mug. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. The easiest thing to see Is why a woman thinks she has pretty ankles. a man can get wildly excited over a political question, unless he under- stands it. Tf a man happens to know who wrote "Yankee Doodle" be thinks h'at musical. One good thing about a college ed ucation is a boy gets it before he is too old to mend. The reason girls always follow their mbther's advice about men la they say they do, especially when it Isn't true.

A letter signed in blank and sup posed to have been written by the PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When prominent men realize the In jurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their tes timony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools In North Carolina, says: "My mother, since her early child hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker and had been troubled with her heart fpr a number of years, and complain ed of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago, I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof fee, and asked him concerning It. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with It, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the. next meal. The whole family liked it so well, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condi tion, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use. and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us.

Dr. Crnmbine Goes to North west to Investigate. SIX CASES Rl PORTED Also Two Deaths in Norton and Decatur Counties. Report Will Be Made to Rocke feller Institute. That dread disease, infantile pi- ralysis, which has ravaged sections of the east for the past year, has found a footing in Kansas and already a half dozen cases, two of them fatal, have been reported to the board of health from Norton and Decatur counties. Dr. S. J. Crumblne will leave tonight for that section and expects to stay there and study the disease, its origin and effect, and send-his findings in to the Rockefeller institute at New York. For over a year this strange and ter rible disease has raged as an epidemic in sections of New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and in the city ol Brooklyn. The death rate has been a high as 96 per cent, higher than in the plague of the Black Death. The atten tion of the medical world was quickly drawn to this scourage and efforts are being made to check it, so far with but little success. The Rockefeller Institute has especially devoted all the energies and talent at its command to flndii; out something of this disease and a means of checking its course or saviri Its victims from certain death. Its ravages have been almost entirely confined to infants under the age of four years and it often; results fatally in twenty-four hours or two days. The child goes to sleep at night in a per fectly healthy state and wakes up !n the morning In the grip of this disease and death comes within a day after wards. It Is no wonder that men of medicine have been shocked and alarm ed at a sickness so strange, swift and terrible. There Is no doubt that It is infectious for the reason that it breaks out in certain communities like an epidemic. It first appears in the lower limbs and then gradually creeps up to the trunk and then results In death, or at tii6 best, leaves the victim a cripple for His. In Decatur county one adult has suc cumbed to the disease. Dr. Crumbine is cleepiy interested and concerned in this epidemic in his own state and intends to stay in Norton and Decatur counties until he has found cut something definite ainout this dis ease. The doctor stated that this Is the first case of the disease that has come to his attention in this state ex ctpting only three cases in Ford county aoout ten vears ago. One of these vie tims died and the other two were left cripples for life Infantile paralyses is in no way to bo confounded with the ordinary af fliction of paralysis. The latter is gent-rally brought! about from an injury, oi shock, or severe sickness or inheri ted from sick ..and. weakly parents.

A gang of professional pickpockets was given a setback last night when Patrolman England noticed a pair "rousting" an old man on a street car and arrested Frank Downing and Frank Moore of Kansas City at the Eighth avenue transfer station. .An other man suspected of being an ac complice visited them at the station; called Kansas City by telephone when he thought no one was about, talked to someone he called Sweetheart, and told her he had "two glass ones" here. An investigation of this man how ever revealed no cause to hold him. The two men held were "mugged" this morning and the pictures placed in the chief's rogues gallery. The pickpockets have evidently been tipped concerning the fourteen plain clothes men on the grounds of the fair and have been working tne crowded street cars.

This first move will be to raise the registry fee from eight cents to ten cents a raise of 'two cents over the old rate. The local officials at the federal building have not received official in formation as to the date and exact rule of this move but it is expected by them at any time as a result of a general order issued by Postmaster General Hitchcock a few days ago. It is fully expected that the change will take place the first of November and the proper alterations will be made at the local office for the purpose of meeting the change of these rates. The government is going to charge a person ten cents to register a piece of mail a gain of two cents but on the other hand Uncle Sam will make an accomplishment as Is proposed would clip 16 hours off the present schedule for the 2.200 miles.

The order increases the maximum idemnity paid to the owner of a lost or rifled registered letter from $25 to $50 thus doubling the department's liability for valuable articles in trusted to its registry branch. The additional insurance of $25 Is granted st a much lower rate than Is offered for a similar amount by any private concern. This is a good in vestment when taken from that standpoint and although it will come only once in a lite time u repp.ys tne postofHce patron for his larger ex pense In risk. When asked about the order this morning Postmaster A. K. Rodgcrs would sav nothing. When asked if the raise would take effect the first of November he said he did not know as the local office had received no such orders. But it is widely known that the effect will take place and within the next two months. There are several other changes that will take place in a very short time. .The registry system is run ning at a big loss and the govern ment is "making some radical plans for a remedy. This increase in price of the registrv fees Is No. 1. Next In order will probably be the establish ment of a postal parcel registration system with a five cent fee and a small Idemnity and also a preferred class of registered matter of high value with increase in the fee and idemnity up to twenty cents and $1.60. These are the limits fixed by law and they can't go higher. it is rented out that the parcel moot a Dublic demand for a cheap and safe means of transmitting Christmas packages and others of this character and that the graduating of the fea Is accordance wltn tne risK in volved and the amount of care neces sary to insure safe transmission Is in accord with sound business principles.

Thought to Be Bad Character of Note. Officers Joe Wonderly and Fribance of the police department made one o' the richest catches of the season when they took over Into custody a counter feiter of some note who is wanted a'l over the country and who was just putting the finishing touches on a big turn out of money to be used on UiC fair visitors and Topeka merchants during the busy week. He gives his name as James Taylor and when arested this morning was working on the asphaltic gang on the College avenue paving. Fourteenth and College avenue. His complete outfit of molds, plaster paris, clay, lead, balibii and monkey wrench was found behind the barn at his rooming place, 109 "West Tenth street. Taylor has been under suspicion for some time by the officers mentioned above. About a month ago Officer Wonderly started out on the case and he has been working night and diy ever since. The man was suspected on account or his strange actions and on account of his frequent changing of boarding places together with an tin common package which he frequently carried. His looks also represent the worst of criminals and as one of tin. officers said this morning: "We will take his mug with the shoot box and send it all over the country." The outfit captured by the police is crude but will do the business. Tae mold consisted of two pieces of harj firm wood wrenced together with, heavy bolts and irons. Just Inside the two pieces of wood was a beautiful repro duction of a silver dollar still powdevy with the last application of plaster paris. The marks on the dollar were as plain as day and if allowed a few more days the counterfeiter would have turned out hundreds of dollars. The rest of the outfit was done up in some old clothes. A package of plast;r paris of the finest variety was included. Also some new chunks of soldering lead and babbit. The clay for moldirg purposes was still with the outfit. Tne clothes worn in the manufacture of the model and the manufacturing of tne money were also in the bundle. Th; officers have not taken the trunk to the station out will do it some time this evening. Taylor was apparently a hard work ing man but by the looks of the clothes in his trunk he has some of the gayest rags imaginable. He works on paving gangs, in shops and around the streets for a blind but at his best he has some duds that would make the flashiest rah-rah open his eyes. No money of the home-make was found on him when he was captured. e naa very utile money with him and it was all good and legitimate. The officers had planned to wait un til he made some money but on ac count of an unknown detective who has been working around the vicinity of the paving gang it was thought that he should be taken up at once. It is known also that Taylor was aware of the detective and he was preparing to skip the country. He had taken his outfit away from his room and hid it behind the barn. A friend of the police, James Kioh, and a supposed friend of Taylor has also been working with the officers on the case and it was through this friend that the police found the mold and other appliances this morning. This friend has been in confidence with Taylor and can be used as an excel lent witness. Taylor has been changing rooming and boarding places for some time. He has been at a number of places and after being suspicioned by the landladies he made his get away. At one place he was caught with the mold under his arm makis for his room. The landlady thought that he was a bootlegger of some kind and made him leave tne place. She asked him at the time what was wrapped up in the paper but he re fused to tell her. Officer Wonderly has been up day and night watching his actions and all of them have been suspicious. It was hoped however that they would be able to wait until he had made some money. But be ing caught with such an outfit will serve as sufficient evidence to convict him. No one seems to know just where Taylor was a resident originally. It is the opinion of the police that he does not have any permanent place of resi dence and business. He hails to To peka from Oklahoma where he was wanted and where he has been under suspicion for some time. He is a hard looker and retuses to answer any of the questions of the police. He will be sent out over tne country on post cards at once and it is thought that there Is a big reward wajting for him somewhere. mmense Stoclcs in All Departments for Tomorrow's Selling Every offering is worthy of your absolute confidence and at prices that will mean money saved for you. 13.5 CLOTHING DEPARTMENT Special all-worsted fancy suits at Go where you will, look where you will, you'll not find a duplicate to our special $13.60 genuine all worsted Suits in new fancy colors for Kail and winter styles.

TALKS OF ESCAPADE. Wife Believes That Influences of Dexil Conquered Him. Sheriff Latimer Will Bring Er ring Couple Back to Kansas. Waukegan, 111.. Sept. IT. The Rev. Wallace M. Stuck ey of Williamsburg, Kan., and Miss Clara Lorena Suther land, both of whom occupy cells In the Lake county jail, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kansas offi cials to take them home to have mat ters straightened out. Neither will oppose extradition. In fact both are anxious to get back. For the first time the pair have broken their silence and made state ments about their predicament. Stuck- y-iaishall go back willingly to face any charge they make, for I can prove Innocence of having abducted Clara. I met her by chance In the Lnlon sta tion. Chicago, and because she was alone in a great city I felt I had to take care of her. She did not want to go home, and as I had known her In my Sunday school where she taught and as a member of my choir. I felt kindly interest in her case. As a Father to Ills Clilld. "I got two rooms for us and we stayed there until four weeks ago when I came to Waukegan. She re mained in Chicago where she worked In a restaurant for ten days and then came here. I cared for her as a fath er does his child. I have a son 17 years old and a daughter older, who Is married. I have four children. My wife and I have had trouble for ten years. It was a case of incompatabll Ity I tired of It and made up my mind to get out of it. I left my news paper in charge of my son and they have money In the bank on which to live. 'I came to Chicago and signed to play the cornet in the Harvey Stock company band. Then one day I was at the union station and met Clara. She wanted to stay with me, and as I had a kindly interest in her I did not want to send her away and lose her in the big city. Accordingly. I canceled my engagement with the show and got an other Job and provided a home for he. Was His Christian Duty. "I then came to Waukegan and she followed ten days later. I felt it my Christian duty to take care of the girl for she was far from home and witn out friends or funds. She says we lm-i improper relations. It is not true. We lived as father and daughter. I havo nothing to fear and will likely oniy face a trial for desertion of my family but we can compromise that for I left them a good newspaper business to care for themselves with. As to my ministerial matters, of course, this means the end of that, but from the way my family troubles came on that vocation was almost neating its end before this new trouble came up, for I could not stand it much longer." The girl maffe this statement: "I did j'Ot have prearranged plans to' meet Wallace In Chicago. I knew he was there, and he told me he would be near the Union station. Hence I knew if I Jiung about there. I would see him soon er or later. We lived as father and daughter, and he was very kind to me. We had two rooms at first in Chicago, tut the expense was so great that we fir-ally took one room, but it had two fceds. Followed Him to Waukegan. Then he decided to come to Wauke gan and I came with him. We contin ued to live as father and daughter. 1 knew Jie thought a good deal of me ibut, honestly, there was nothing wrong toetween us while we were in Williams burg. I sang in his choir and taught a class in his Sunday school. He al ways seemed to like me and then when (bis newspaper conducted a contest and 3 got the most subscribers I won the iprize of a diamond ring, and then he became better acquainted with me. "I used to fold papers for him twice a week. He was an awful hard worker. Sometimes he would be at nls newspaper omce as late as 2 o'clock In the morning, and some times I and other girls, worked there to midnight folding papers. He never went out with me at home. In fact I didn't know he liked me any better than any of the other girls. He always liked me, though, because I was happy when working, and the other girls used to be touchy, and he made the remark that I had a fine disposition and was always cheerful. After we came here I got homesick and told him that when I got enough monev I was going to go home for awhile. He said 'all right. We will save up and you can go back when you want to. Anxious to Get Bark. "I shall not fight extradition. I will ro right back for I want to get to school. I have parents and seven brothers and sisters. I don't see why they should prosecute Wallace, for met him accidentally. He did not know I was coming to Chicago, know his wife very well, in fact, used to go down and stay with her when he went away. She seemed to like me. She never seemed jealous of me at all and had no reason to be So far as I know ne never naa any thing to do with other girls in his church." stuckev spent the day trying to dis pose of his pawn tickets on a cornet and gold watch which he put up in Chicago recently. The cornet was valued at $55. he says. The girl is very pretty and graceful and appears fnllv 21. She has bleached her hair and admits she hoped in time to get n th stage. Now sne Deneves her chances are spoiled. She says sh has had enough of this experience and is anxious to get home to her folks. DEVIL TEMPTED HIM. WIFE SAYS Sirs. Stuckey Sees No Other Explana tlon of Her Husband's Actions. Ottawa, Kan., Sept. 17. Sheriff W. H Latimer who left Topeka lor wauite irnn TIL. .to secure the return here W. M. Stuckey, the Williamsburg mi3 sine editor-minister, and his girl com panion. Lorena Sutherland, bears witn him a tenderly written message rrun the girl's mother urging the daughter tturn-and nromisine forgiveness. "Mv dauehter didn't know; she i voune and inexperienced. I want her back home where we can love her and watch over her." said Mrs. Sutherland here as she conferred with the officers In reference to the case. The legal proceedings are for the leturn of Stuckey alone. Mrs. Stuckey, the deserted wife, mingles amazement with her grief as the realization has been forced home to her that her first charitable explanations of her hus band's absence, can no longer explain. And yet there are no bitter words In her comment, only the sorrow of a wronged wife and the amazement of a Christian woman that the man whom she trusted fully in both his relations of husband and minister could have done, thia thing. Mrs. Stuckey had re course to her religious faith as she sought. In conversation to find an ex planation for the moral fall of her h sband. Wife Believes Devil Tempted Him. "I believe the devil must have got the upper hand of him," she said; "I can't think of any other way to ex plain It.' And as the conversation proceeded ever the long story of her married life and her husband's ministry and his late great digression, she spoke often that theory from the primitive faith, to explain man's downfall. "I believe the devil got the upper hand of him." "He has always been a devoted Christian." declared Mrs. Stuckey. "a worker in the cause always, with more than the ordinary energy and zeal. I never had the slightest cause to doubt him in his' home relations or in his church work, and he had the utmost confidence of his church people. He held that confidence here, and now, to do this why. it can't seem pos sible." Believed Ho Had Been Killed. "Why, do you know," continued Mrs. Stuckey. "that when he was gone and no word came I believed he must have written me and that the letter had been lost. And then when there was time for him to have written again, I couldn't doubt but that he had some accident. I felt he must have been killed in Kansas City, And o nthe Saturday night before she her self went away, just two days before she left, Lorena Sutherland met me on the street and said, 'Oh, Mrs. Stuckey, you do look so bad and I'm so sorry for you,' and she stooped and kissed me. Oh, I cannot unaerstana it." It was suggested that Mr. stucKey might have a story to tell of how it all came about when he is brought erne. But Mrs. Stuckey s laith has been shaken. 'After they have done this," sne saia, a body wouldn't know what to be- eve. Has Been Married 29 Years. Mr. and Mrs. Stuckey were married 29 years ego in Texas, when Stuckey was a farmer. He was then a church worker, but had not entered the min istry. Hir ministerial work covers a period of j 5 years. He was successful in his revival work. Mrs. Stuckey said at there had lately been stories or revious d'gressions on the minister's rart. hut that none of them were true. There had been no family difficulty In ell their married experience, she said, or any suspicious circumstances in the inister's life. Once, about rour years ago, her husband had a nervous break down and was absent from home four days and then he wrote. That was his longest absence witnout wrn:ng. n ad been reported that ne tooK jorena Sutherland home from church on the Sunday night before he aisappeared. "That night," Mrs. stucKey saia, hj held one of the baby's hands and I the other, and we walked home irom church, talking of the service. "I don't believe he lovea tne gin. sne continued, "and yet why would a man. unless the devil ruled him, lure a youns girl away, even if he was tired of hi.i family and wanted to be free. Only a day or two ago I had a letter from Illi nois from a friend who Knew us in Kansas City. She had seen the newspaper- stories. 'It cannot be possible,' she wrote, 'that Brother Stuckey has done- this,'' and to me it doesn't seem possible." Mother Sends Tender Message. Sheriff Latimer carries missives in sharp contrast to the two absent ones. That to be served on the minister is the sharp summons of the law, that to be given Lorena Sutherland is a mother's letter of forgiveness for her wrong and a tender call to come home again. Mrs. Sutherland's note was nastily written as the sheriff was leaving. "I told mv daughter." said Mrs. Sutherland. "that while she had erred In part, she was still my daugh ter and I wanted her safe home." The letter read in part: "Tour father and I freely forgive you for your sin, for we know that you were led away by some one much older than you, and without knowing th magnitude of your offense. Your nlace in the home is sun vacant, readv for you to return, to occupy the same as before you left. We will welcome you home, and forget tne past.

ONE OF LARGEST DAYS Automobiles and Other Vehicles Throng Quarter Stretch. Good Time in Races All Won in Straight Heats. According to the clicks taken at the gates there were over 20,000 at the State Wide fair yesterday to witness the races. This is the largest atten dance since the opening of the grounds and the big grandstand, boxes and enclosures were filled to overflowing. In the grandstand peo Dle were twelve deep both at the top and bottom and the seats were jam med as close as possible. Some roost ed up in the rafters and others spent the whole afternoon standing In the boiling sun down on the front run. Out In the open conditions were the same the half mile track was sur rounded by one- mass of people from post to post and every fence, tree and resting place of any kind In the vicin ity of the track was utilized. Inside the track automobiles and carriages faced the whole course and the fences here were crowded to the edge of the track. It was one of the largest crowds that ever attended a middle-of-the-week race In the city. The races themselves aid not arag as those of the days previous. The 2:14 was rather slow In appearance but the heats were run together and plenty of time was aiiowea ior mo horses to rest. However, with the aid of a chariot race, some bronco riding, ride for a sweetheart, a puduc sue- tinr, a number OI Dana concerns aim some expert drumming the time was passed away in gooa manner. The leader of the day was Sultan who also took first honors Wednesday. The six furlong race was given as the last event and the big crowd waited through every event for its appear ance. Sultan, who is ownd by F. B. Fellows of Kansas City, went the six furlongs in 1:16, or just a half sec ond under the track record. He waa so far ahead of his fellow runners that the driver held him up under the wire or he would have undoubtedly smashed the records to smitherlnes. Contingent, tne mucn in.in.cii dark horse" appeared for first gaze at the races yesteraay. unuuscui was one of the three first moneys, but he failed to shove over any surprises with his unknown Identity. He is owned by A. B. Williams of Lincoln, Neb. Bob Curt, owned by A. C. Sharp of Baileyville, took second mon ey in a brilliant spurt In which he passed both Contingent and Miss Piatt. Miss nan ate iiw irai dust In the finish. This was the only running event of the .afternoon and caused much enthusiasm. .Sultan was picked as the winner rrom tne very ,f onri It Is thought that he will carry away some more money before the week Is over. The Harness Races. Thn first race of the afternoon, the 2:18 pace with a $400 atachment was won by Maude K. a mare owned by R. B. Finch of sartiesvnie. -ia. Moiho waa the favorite of the day but the sorrel mare failed to do anything better than fourth. Mauae won an three heats of the race and took well earned money, for In every heat the stretches were made In a bunch only widening out on the home stretch. The horses started good, thus saving oodles of time on tne start ana iey kept together all around the course making the result interesting. Tony W Preston, owned by the Bosquie Stock farm of Valley Mills, Texas, took second In all three heats and thus second money. Young Adlle. a bay mare owned by i. nena oi nan dall, showed great class in the first heat and led off from all of them. But she soon fell back and allowed Maude and Tony to go edging by. Young Adlie took third money taking two thirds ana a fifth in the three heats. 2:18 pace, $400. Maude K ..1 ..2 ..3 ..4 Tony W. Preston Young Adlle Fnntestar Time 2:17, 2:14, Z:16. Sam Goldstein, owned by W. A. Wll iiuma of Kansas City, and Grant Mc Gregor. owned by William Bradbury of Topeka', were the only two starters in the three-vear-oia z:au trot at a wv stake. It was fully expectea mat mere would be more entries for this race. Goldstein has been doped to win the race all the time and with his only rival he had little trouble. The race was run in two heats, Sam winning both. tt. t driver held him in throughout ana when rjassinsr under the wire It was al most impossible to break him down. It looked as though there were a number of drivers who were afraid of taking advantage of the track and getting into a higher class. The manner In which these horses were neia in ny tne anv ers made the matter of a joke in the grandstand and they lost Interest in the race. Three-year-old 2:30 trot, $500. Sam Goldstein 1 1 Grant McGregor 2 2 Time 2:33. 2:36. The three-year-old pace resulted in a clean run for Charmond who has also been doped as the winner. This was also a double header with Charmond, owned by John McQuaig of Tulaa. Oklahoma, and Mable Cox, owned by M. L. Cox of Dallas. The first heat wns easy money for Charmond and on the second half of the last mile Mabel flew her mane in Charmond's face. But thid spurt lasted only temporarily ami Charmond came under the wire almost walking. This was another one of the Joker races and drew much comment from the stand. The average spectator would like to see a. horse warm up in the race if nothing else Is desired but to have them come walking under the wire apparently afraid of a record and a higher class always "worms" on the crowds who pay their money some fast pacing.

I like a real contest between Buzz and I Lord Staley until Tattles, a beautiful" classy looking gray" gelding owned by Arch McDavid of Brookfleld, Mo., came prancing up to. the" wire just a-few inches and a fraction of a second be hind Buzz. This started the business for favorites -aad-.Tattles was ably sup ported In the' rest of the races but he fluked. On the first heat Black Ace started badly. He was -called back a number of times on the start and final ly when the "go" was given he was a number of lengths behind. t This drew considerable unfavorable comment from the crowd Black Ace owned by W. A. Stroud of Vermilion was a classy look irg black gelding and was a grand stand favorite. The second heat saw Tattles come In. under the wire Just behind Buzz again. This heat -was "the prettiest of the day. The whole set of starters stayed in a bunch throughout and not a speck of daylight was seen until the home stretch. Lor'd Staley came third again in this heat. The third heat settled the money for Buzz and although Tattles fell badly behind he took second money In the end and fourth in. the heat. This race as a whole was the prettiest of the day and satisfied the crowd. 2:14 pace, $400. Euzs 1 1 1 Tattles 2 2 4 Lord Staley 3 3 2 Banner Leaf 4 4 3 Black Ace dis. Time 2:14, 2:15. 2:15. BIG BELL MERGER. AU the New York Companies Are to lie Consolidated. Boston, Sept. 17. It has become known that the American Telephone and Telegraph company has acquired nearly $16,000,000 worth of New York Telephone company stock- owned by the VJStern Union Telegraph company. Pa pers covering the purchase were signed yesterday. The New York Telephone company is the largest and in some respects the most important of the subsidiaries of the American Bell Telephone Interests. Of its $50,000,000 stock. 64 per cent, or $32,000,000 Is owned by the American Telephone company. Of me $18,000,000 minority stock, about $16t00O.000 has for many years been the property of the Western Union and it is this stock which has at last been secured by the American company. TJn official statement as to price and methods by which the transaction will be- finished will be made at tnis time. Contrary to the general impression, the transaction Just concluded does not conclude any settlement of the long pending suit between the American "Tel ephone and Wettem Union, judgment in which was recently returned in fa vor of the Western Union for approxi mately $5,000,000. The telephone officials take the posi tion that this suit has been pending in t-r.c courts for 25 vears and must be iiofin 'As legal merits. Practical ly speaking, therefore. It will be fully two and a half years before the Ameri can Telephone comes into actual pos session of the entire- $16,000,000 New York Telephone stock. The importance of the new move that it insures in the near future the ct nsiUdation in a single huge telephone company of all-the Bell subsidiaries .rumtlTie in New York state.

BABY'S SUHLIER REMEDY FREE la a family where the children are still young few mothers experience the joy of passing a summer without the children becoming sick. As a rule the ailment is a trivial one, though it looks very serious. The trouble usually lies in the stomach or bowels, due to a summer cold or to unfit food, water or fruit the hot-weather dangers. Before becoming alarmed, however, give the child a dose of DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN when yon put it to bed. The direction sheel that comes with each bottle will tell you the quantity to give, according to the age, and as the remedy is pleasant to take and does not gripe, the child will not refuse it. By morning it will be much improved. and in another day entirely well. That is the US experience of thousands of mothers. Give it in Bf?, CALDWELL'S constipation, biliousness, summer complaint, loss e-Ta r- rCJa o of appetite or sleep, sick headache, peevishness, bTnUP PiEPSErJ etc Do not give salts or purgative waters, tablets, pills or sleep-producing remedies that always contain narcotics, for these are unpleasant to take gripe and do only temporary good. DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN is a vegetable compound, thoroughly tested in American homes for many years. Women, children and old people are among its stannchest friends.

Why Governor Marshall Declined In vitation to Waterways Excursion. St. Louis, Sept. 17. Because he dislikes to be separated from his wife, and she from him. Governor Mar shall of Indiana, declined the invita tion of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways association to be a mem ber of the governor's boat party to New Orleans. No provision can be made for the wives of governors on the steamer Alton, as there are only 35 staterooms and 31 governors are going. Governor Marshall said in his letter to W. K. Kavanaush: ''As Mrs. Marshall endured the ardu cus work of the campaign in order to be with me, and as I am not con vinced that 1 my presence is necessary to any public good to my state, I must lespectfully but gratefully decline the invitation." NO IRUSljSHOWS Klaw Erlanger Cut Topeka Off Their List. L. M. Crawford Declares for "th Open Door." V WOULDN'T BE BOSSED Was Ordered to Cancel Anti Trust Attractions. May Bring Suit to Force Syndi cate to Time. Hebrews May Attend Universities. St. "Petersburg, Sept. 17. The dispute regarding the percentage of Hebrew students to be admitted to the univer sities of Russia, has been settled by the cabinet in favor of the Hebrews. Of recent years the regulations have been enforced laxly, and the number of He brew students has been far above the legal proportion. The ministry of edu cation attempted to reduce the number of Hebrew freshmen altogether, but the cabinet decided the full percentage should be admitted. The Grand theater management has adopted the open door policy, which means that any show, whether a trust production or not, will be allowed the use of the theater. This means that Topeka theater goers will have the privilege of seeing not only the trust shows those that are booked by the Klaw Erlanger interests but also those that are booked by the Shuberts, who handle all the productions inde pendent of the trusts. This is the outgrowth of the big theatrical war which has been brew ing for several months between the Klaw Erlanger and the Shubert in terests. In past seasons, the trust which is headed by the Klaw Er langer company, had secured the booking privileges of a majority of the larger theaters in the United States. However, as there were not enough at tractions to fill the demands, the trust last year countenanced the booking of tho Shubert productions in their houses, a truce having been patched up between the two rivals in the theat rical world. Last spring, however, the war which had been' postponed broke out afresh. The Klaw Erlanger people refused to permit the use of their theaters for the Shubert produc tions. Last season after the war broke out between the two theatrical iterests. The Blue Mouse" and Mrs. Fiske in Salvation Nell." two Shubert attrac tions, were scheduled for Topeka. Klaw Erlanger wired L. M. Craw ford not to allow these productions to show in the Grand under penalty of being blacklisted by the trust. As is well known the engagements were not canceled by the Crawfords. Both en gagements were played here to good houses. But it put the Crawfords in bad odor with the trust. Cancels All Trust Shows. The result was: that the Klaw Erlanger agency canceled all of the engagements which had been contract ed in Topeka for this season. A num ber of contracts had previously been signed for this season, and Mr. Craw ford now has the contracts. He will make all legal efforts to secure the fulfillment of the-contracts, and in case they are not fulfilled, to secure dam ages. In other words he will test the legality of the contracts. One of these attractions, "The Third Degree," is booked for the Grand the latter part of September, but. Klaw Erlanger have sent word, iUat, the show wijjl not be here. By an ".open -door" policy is meant the use of the theater, for all produc tions irrespective; of booking agencies. It does not mean that anly Shubert productions will be allowed, or only Klaw Erlanger productions, but bothl This season it will likely mean that mostly Shubert productions will be seen, for the Klaw Erlanger pro ductions which have already been con tracted won't come unless they are forced to legally. The Shuberts are fully as strong as the Klaw Erlanger trust. This com pany is booking over one hundred leading attractions this season. A ma jority of these are their own enter prises, but added to these are a num ebr of other big attractions. Among the productions are Lew -Fields, Joe Weber, David Belasco, Harrison- Grey Fiske, Ray Comstock and William Faversham, as well as the long list of Liebler Co. The local booking from these Shu bert productions contains some of the test attractions in the theatrical his tory of the city. Within the next six weeks the booking for Topeka com prise Sousa's band. Lew Dockstader, Bertha Kalich, Marie Cahill, Jefferson de Angelis, John Mason, Henrietta Crosman, Eddie Foy and a number of other stars. There has never been such a list of attractions offered to Topeka within a given space of time in the city's history. The bookings for the remainder of the season are fully up to this standard. See Real Stars Now. "We do not wish to appear to be discriminating against the Klaw Erlanger people," said L. M. Crawford this morning, "but we have our pat rons to protect. The Shuberts have al ways delivered the goods for us. For cxsmple, take the cases of 'The Lion and the Mouse,' a Shubert production, and 'The Great John Ganton' at the Grand .'ast night. These plays are simi lar in their plots, both dealing with the great industrial problems of trust and consumer. 'Xije Lion and the Mouse' has been here two or three times, never with more than a second rate cast. 'The Great John Ganton' came here with George Fawcett, one of the Shubert stars. The K. E. people do not send their stars very far from New York. We have tried for years tc get Nat Goodwin here, try ing sometimes to book him as much as a year ahead, but we have always been turned down. On the other hand, we have yet to be stung on a Shubert at traction. Other Open Door Towns. The Grand is not alone in the open door policy in the west.

Miss Ruth Tomlinson of The Great John; Canton company, was a class mate in Hyde Park high school, Chi cago, sit Mr. Wallace Pettyjohn. Last nisht Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Petty John save an informal dinner in her honor before the play. A nervous man. who lives near the avenue, went to bed early last night tout he didn't sleep. Cause why? (1) the Novelty orchestra; (2) the tousy graphophone in front of the Olympic: (3) an amateur cornet player: (4) two pianos. "After I had been tossing and swearing for an hour and a half." says the nervous man, "a locust perched on the win dow screen at the head of my bed. Ton know how shrill a locust's song is; well, it was a positive relief, and listening to It, I fell asleep." Mr. Fred Parfitt and Mr. Holmes Meads are in charge of the arrange ments for a subscription dance for the college set to be given at Stein berg's tonight. Even people in a surry with a fat old family horse drive fast as they go away from the races. Hay fever victims who can't drive in the country at this delightful sea son are to be pitied for the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la, can not compare with the autumn blos soms. There are lots of things be sides golden rod and sunflowers, and of both of these there are many varieties and all gorgeously lovely now. The Michaelmas daisies star the woods, there are many kinds of gentians and wild asters and the bit tersweet is unusually luxuriant this year. Many people wait until after the frost to gather bittersweet, but it is even prettier now. with the leaves still green or only slightly touched with yellow. Since the re cent rains washed the world- clean from dust the country is exquisite. The summer foliage still lingers, but the air has all the stimulating qualities of autumn and the Indian summer haze which wraps the horizon lends the picture that touch of melancholy, mystery which is so subtle a part of the autumn's paignant charm.
