Representative Masons belonging to that branch of the order known as Knights Templar, including dis tinguished visitors from Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and Nebraska, are gathered here today in celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the found ing of Topeka Commandery No. 5, which organization is also celebrating STATE JOURNAL CROWDS As the final game in the great championship baseball series between the teams of Detroit and Pittsburg drew to a conclusion, the crowd which gathered around the State Journal of fice to hear the report of the game as it was told by Dick Cooley through a megaphone in each and every one of its stages, numbered more than a thousand. During the last few innings it was apparent that there was an eager ex pectancy in the crowd that Detroit would do something and as the report of each inning ended with the rather monotonous announcement of no runs" for Detroit, audible sighs of dis appointment went up. When the final score was announced the crowd did not cheer very much. Its members appeared to be satisfied that they had heard about a great ball game but they would have been better pleased, evidently, if it had re sulted differently. Interest in the crowd was also great in. the football games which were play ed all over the country. Announcements j were made through the megaphone of the football scores as fast as they were OFF TO THE RANCH!

In all, over 200 distinguished Knight Templar members are in To peka today, besides those connected with-the local organization. Masonic Charter a Necessity to Capital A commandery of Knights Templar which may be considered as one of the luxuries of the Tork rite, was not so regarded by the nine Sir Knights who petitioned the grand com mander of Kansas for a dispensation to form a commandery at Topeka it was believed to be a stern necessity, and that the Masonic dignity of the state capital could only be maintained by establishing, a commandery of Knihts Templar. The Charter Members. Accordingly a petition for dispensa tion was signed by the only Sir Knights then residents of Topeka, in the following order: Thomas J. An derson. Orrin T. Welch and T. B. Mills members of Ie Molay,. No. 4 of Law rence; Joel Huntoon of Leavenworth No. 1; M. J. Alkire. Crestline No. 8., Ohio: Bvron M. Emith og Bingham- ton. N, Y. William H. Peekham. Ivanhoe.

No. 4, of Lawrence, on April 14, 1869. "to open and hold a commandery of Knighta Templar and council of the appendant order of Knights of the Red Cross subordinate to the Grand Comman dery of Kansas." Thomas J. Anderson was designat ed as Eminent Commander, Orrin T. Welch as Generalissimo, and Joel Huntoon as captain general. Neither of the principal officers or any of the other petitioners knew a line of the work. They received instructions during the summer from Sir Knight John H. Brown of Leavenworth, and Sir Knight Owen A. -Bassett of Lawrence, hut no work was done. The eminent commander insisted that no attempt he made to: confer the orders until it could be done properly and with credit to the commandery. First State Meeting. The first annual commandery of the Grand Commandery of Kansas, convened in-Leavenworth on the ISth ttTontinued on Page Eight.) received in the office and many of the y,, It will be even more of a rest than the president had in the Yosemite and he expects it to put him in splendid condition for the remaining three weeks of his notable trip. As a matter of fact, however, Mr. Taft never felt better than he does to day. Railroad travel by day or night never tires him in the least and at each city he visits, he places himself en tirely in the hands of local committees and is ready to carry out any program suggested, no matter how strenuous. This willingness on the part of the president has led many of the com mittees to extend their program far beyond the original outline, and they keep the president pretty busy from the moment his train arrives until its de parture. After his hardest days, how ever, Mr. Taft :s icady to sit up late on the train talking with his guests on the trip. None of the latter attempts to keep pace with the president in all that he does or is called upon to do. The president was up early this morn ng to carry out the program arranged for in this, the first really southern city to entertain him on his present tour. lias Been There Before. Mr. Taft has been to San Antonio be fore as secretary of war and his act in that capacity in building Fort Sam Houston up to the present splendid mil itary station, has won him great favor from the city of the Alamo. Wherever he went today the president was greet ed by cheering throngs. His declara tion of the fact that he was not on a political mission and his visit was that solely of the president of the United States helped to add to the enthusiasm of his reception. Before 6 o clock this morning, auto mobiles were waiting for the president at the St. Anthony, hotel to convey him to Fort Sam Houston, where, with a simple ceremony he laid the Corner stone of the nearly completed post chapel building. This chapel, one of the handsomest buildings to be found in the jurisdiction of the war depart ment, was presented to the post by the citizens of San Antonio and was form ally accepted and dedicated by Presi dent Taft shortly after his arrival from El Paso last night. On his way to Fort Sam Houston this morning the president was driven through lanes of school children, 14,000 in number, who sang "America" as he passed. Arriving at the fort, he greeted all the troops stationed there before proceed inp; to the chapel where the simple ser vice of placing the cornerstone In the niche reserved for it was performed. Following the chapel ceremony the president held a reception from a grandstand erected on Alamo plaza. At noon the president's visit ended with an informal luncheon given by the citizens. Fred M. Nelson, Eminent Commander, Topeka Commandery. given out before the great baseball game was ended. These scores were afterwards tabu lated on the State Journal's bulletin windows and attracted passing crowds during the rest of the afternoon and evening up to 11 o'clock at night. By the time the report of the John-son-Ketchel fight began to come into the office and be announced through the megaphone a second crowd had gathered to hear it. It certainly was an interesting day for the sport-loving people in To peka and the State Journal was as pleased as they evidently were that it had the adequate facilities to give them comprehensive and prompt returns of the big sporting events as the j occur red. The extra edition issued by the State Journal at 6 o'clock contained the full report of the baseball game, deciding the world's championship, the K. U. Agricultural and other football scores, the Johnson-Ketchel fight, etc., was well received and sold many copies. pearytoppedThenson Washington, Oct. 18. A complaint of far reaching consequences was filed to day with the interstate commerce com mission inv dying ihsL reasonableness and lawfulness of ratea now charged by the railroads in the southwestern part of the country on shipments destined to interior middle western points. The petition was filed, by the- Southwestern Shippers' Traffic association, represent ing shippers In Texas, Oklahoma, Kan sas and Colorado against the Atchison, Topeka Saaata-Fe railway and 37 other interstate carriers It is alleged that the rates on traffic through the ports of Galveston, Port Arthur, Port Boiiver and Texas City, Texas, destined to points in Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado fixe unjust, un lawful, discriminatory and prejudicial to the interests of the points of desti nation, as compared with the rates to similarly located points from New Or leans and Memphis. Lower Bates for Des Moines. Washington, Oct. 18.---Reduction of the freight rates from eastern points to Des Moines, la., ordered by the inter state commerce commission will go into effect next Wednesday, the 20th instant, despite the protests of the railways in volved. On the 14th instant, the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railroad filed a suit in Chicago, seeking to enjoin the commission from putting into effect its order in what is known as the "Greater Des Moines case.". By that order the commission reduced the proportionate rate from Rock Is- and, 111., to Des Moines, on all traffic originating east of the Indiana-Illinois state line, from 42 cents a. hundred to 3 cents a hundred pounds on first class freight, the rates being propor tionately less on other classes of freight. Last week the Rock Island served no tice on the commission that-it would apply this week for a temporary in junction against the commission's or der. Later it cancelled that notice and announced that it would put in the rates ordered by the commission, but "under protest." f Petition la Denied. Washington.

The. case involves a judgment for $1, 107,000 against the Delaware Hudson company for rental of the Albany Susquehanna road under a lease made in 1870, and was regarded as one of great importance. The verdict was returned by the Uni ted States circuit court for th south ern district of New York, and was af firmed by the United States circuit court of appeals for the second circuit. The action of the supreme court had the effect sustaining the verdict of the low er courts. State Treasurer and Printer Reforms. State Governor Stubbs today rolled up his sleeves, girded up his loins and waded into the high' tax controversy with Senator Curtis in earnest. He made a base hit, an upper cut and a touch down. After a brief preface, in which he quoted one of Senator Curtis' charges, he submitted statements from the state printer and state treasurer show ing savings in the total sum of $6,000 per month in, these two departments alone as an offset in the shape of benefits to oppoEe to the talk of. the cost of reform. The Stubbs statement and exhibits follow; Benefits of Reform. "Senator Curtis in a 'personal' let ter to a Kansas man recently said: 'It is true that reform and betterment usually cost money, but I doubt if the governor, or his friends, can ever ex plain to the people why the cost has been so great in Kansas and so little benefit derived from the so-called changes.' "As an example of how much re form does cost in Kansas the actual results of 'the operation of the reform laws in putting the state printing plant and the state treasury on a busi ness basis will prove that In these two departments alone there has- been an actual saving of nearly $6,000, if not quite, per month during the past year, and these two propositions are only fair samples of what the reform laws that have been written in Kansas are worth to the people of this state In dollars and cents.

New York, Oct. 18. By mail from Naribori, British East Africa, Sept. 17. Friday. Mr. Crewell, a government engineer in the public works depart ment at Nyori, came into Naribori this afternoon and brought word that Mr. Roosevelt had a very narrow es cape when shooting his first bull ele phant. When shooting elephant it is often necessary to creep into the herd and shoot the selected bun at range of 15 to 30 yards.

Suddenly, before Mr. Roosevelt could reload, another elephant bull charged him at close range from the herd. Mr- Cunningham and Mr. Roosevelt got behind trees and Mr. Cunningham fired and turned the bull from Mr. Roosevelt just in time.

After procuring the policy Mr. Perkins fell off the top of his house, and the insurance peo ple contended that before falling he had administered to himself a dose-of poison with suicidal intent, but with the object of having it appear that his death had been caused by accident so arranged his body that it would fall.

Governor W. R. Stubbs: Replying to yours of October 12, in which you ask me to state the cost of the state printing during the four years that I have been state printer, and also an estimate of what the cost would have been under the old rate, and what will be saved to the state during the present biennial period, as compared with the cost under the old rate I would say First That if the same amount of printing had been done under the old system, as was done during the first four years of state ownership, the cost to the state of Kansas would have been $198,233.76 greater than it was. Second -Estimating the amount of printing that will be done during the biennial period ending June 30, 1911, by the amount done during the first three months of this period, the sav ing to the state for the two years, as compared with the cost of the same amount of printing under the old sys tem, will be at least $102,000. To substantiate the truth of these ftatements, I respectfully submit the following report: During the biennial period ending June 30, 1903, the state expended for state printing. as shown by tne auditor's re ports for the years 1901, 1902, and 1903. the sum of ..$192,171.99 For the biennial period ending June 30, 1905. the state ex pended, as shown by the aud itor's report, the sum of 196,015.02 Making the total expenditures under the old system for the last four years prior to state ownership ,.$388,187.01 During the first biennial period un der state ownership, namely, from July 1. 1905 to July L 1907. the state ex pended for- state printing the follow ing amounts: Stato printer's salary $2,500 per year... 5,000.00 Labor 30,000.00 Contingent fund 11,000.00 Paper and binding stock....... 45,000.00 Lots on which to erect the state printing plant 6.000.00 Building 20,000.00 Equipment of plant 32,000.00 was $338,187.01 Thus it will be seen that the actual cash saving to the state for the four vears under state ownership is $101,187.01 Doesn't Show Real Saving. This, however. doe3 not show the real saving to the state. Since taking charge of the office on July 1, 190a, practically the entire plant has been itnewed. Its physical efficiency has been increased bv putting in improv ed modern machinery at least 50 per cent. As the institutions of the state have grown and new departments have been created, there have necessarily been large increases in the amount of printing required. This will be shown by the statement of the number of requisitions filed during each fiscal year. The total number of requisitions for Mate printing was as follows: From July 1, 1905 to July 1, 1906 1,816 From July 1, 1906 to July 1, 1907 2,196 From July 1, 1907 to July 1, 1908 2.308 Horn July 1, 1308 to Julv 1. 1909 The number of requisitions allowed during the present fiscal year from July 1, to Oct. 1, is 679 During the first three months of the last fiscal year the number was 608 It will be noted by these that the number of requisitions for etate print ing during the last biennial period has increased a trifle more than 22 per cent, as compared with the number during the first biennial period. This, however, does not show the real in crease, because the state institutions on account of their growth require larger amounts of printing called for in the separate requisitions. As an illustration: The state board of health formerly printed 500 bulletins per month. The demand for these has increased until now the state board of health is print ing 5,000 per month. The university four years ago found 8,000 catalogues sufficient for its pur poses. It now requires 12,500. The Agricultural college catalogues have increased proportionately. Two new institutions have been added, one at Pittsburg, and one at Hays. I The extension of the work of the superintendent of instruction has been so great the printing for that depart ment has very nearly doubled. The same is true of the office of the attorney general. Capacity of Plant Increased. It is a conservative estimate to say the increase in printing for the last biennial period over the amount called for in th first biennial period under state ownership is 25 per cent. Mr. T. B. Brown, foreman of the com posing room, who has been with the plant under all the state printers for the past 15 or 16 years, says that the capacity of the plant is fully 50 per cent greater than it was under the old state printers, but that even then the state printers managed to put in at least 10 per cent of their time doing work outside of the state work. It is, therefore, certainly a very conserva tive estimate to say that the state dur ing the four years that it has owned the plant has done 25 per cent more work than was done during the four years prior to that time. I, therefore, feel perfectly eaf e in saying that if the same amount of printing had been done-- during" -th four years prior to state ownership (that has been- done during the first four years of state ownership) it would have cost the state $485,233.76 instead of $287,000.00, which was the actual "cost; making a saving for the four years of $198,233.76. Of the $137,986.00 appropriated by the last legislature for printing, $11,- 986.00 were appropriated for equip ment, leaving $126,000.00 for printer salary, labor, stock and Incidentals. It is only fair to say, however, that the legislature was too economical In its appropriations for state printing. To carry the plant through the biennial period will require an additional ap propriation of $22,000. This was the amount I asked for in addition to what I got, and I did not ask for a dollar more than was needed. This would make the total amount requir ed for state printing for the biennial period ending June 30, 1911, $148, 000.00. This plant can turn out more work within a given time than could have been turned out by the old plant, be fore state ownership, with the same number of employees. If it cost the state, as it did, $196,000.00 for work done the state during the two years prior to state ownership, and if the state printer put in only nine-tenths of his time on state work, it is safe to say that the amount of work that will be done during this biennial per iod at a cost to the state of $148,000 would have cost under the old system at least $250,000; so that the saving to the state for the biennial period ending June 30, 1911, as compared with what it would have cost the state under the old system at a con servative estimate, will be $102,000.

The Right Reverend Thomas F. Lillis, bishop of the diocese of Leavenworth, was the officiant, and Governor Stubbs was the principal speaker of the af ternoon. After the addresses of the two speakers, the building was blessed by the bishop and the public was ad mitted. A number of visiting clergymen were present at the ceremony and as sisted, .father DeSmedt of St. Mary's parish was -present with sixty of his parishioners. The clergy who- assisted In the services were: Father Hayden. Father Fitspatrlck, and Father Henry of Topeka; Father Aloyslus Breen, president of St. Marys college at St. Marys, Kan.: Father B. 8. Kelly, f ot Kansas City, Kan.; Father Downey, of Leavenworth; Father Coldmann of Nortonville, and Father J. F. Hill of at. Marys. A number, of visiting sisters were also present, among them being Mother Irene.' superior, and Sister Anthony, assistant mother, of the St. Joseph hospital, of Denver. Colo.; Mother Olive, superior, and Sister Berchmans, assistant mother, of Leavenworth community. Bishop Lillis Was Eloquent. Bishop Lillis said in part: "Paganism knew no compassion for the weak or heirless and those In dis tress were looked upon as a burden to be cast aside. "In the days of Roman grandeur one-fourth of the population was in poverty and want, still we find no record of an asylum being founded for the needy or any hospital for the sick. Poverty was considered a crime and charity a wanton waste. The Redeemer by his shining example of compassion and mercy, began to change this condition, and soon the Christian Idea prevailed. Hospitals for the infirm and aged cared for large numbers, as far back as the fourth century, and the early Chris tians had a custom of making a col lection among themselves, on Sun days, for the orphans, widows and all indigent. Down through- the ages these charity institutions have given evidence of the Christian faith and today every form of misery and suf fering Is cared for by and through Catholic religion. In the asylums for orphans and abandoned little ones, homes for the aged that are wrecks of misspent lives and houses for the young who have strayed from the path of virtue. "In many places there are Institutions like the one we are dedicating today and all of them are conducted by wo men who have turned from the pleas ures of the world, consecrating their lives to the temporal and spiritual wel fare of others. The Sisters of Charity are no strangers to the people of this great commonwealth. They came to this state when it was a barren waste and when there were comparatively few people to speak a word of welcome to them. Fifty-one years ago wnen they crossed the Missouri river to found a home near Leaven wort n, tne political situation of the nation was alarming. War clouds were thickening and border depredations were daily oc currences. They built their mother house and from It they have been going forth ever since to do the work of the One who had compassion on the multitudes. The people of Topeka will appreciate their presence and will not fail to en courage them in their undertaking. Th surgeons and physicians will soon wit ness their unselfishness and will heartily co-operate In the purposes for which Saint Francis hospital has been erected." Governor's Fine Talk. Governor Stubbs expressed his grati fication at the privilege of speaking on this occasion and said: 'Manv years of work in construction camps all over this country, from Vir ginia to the Pacific coast and from the Canada border to the Gulf, gave me many opportunities to come In con tact with that noble order, the Sisters of Charity, which has established and will maintain this hospital. In the far west, in the uttermost confines of civilization, they carry on their labor of love and service, and of the hun- Continued ft -Page Eight.

They were on their toes from the sound of the whistle, and it was not until Coach Koehler, satisfied with the way things were going, had begun to lever out his regulars, that the Sunflowers crossed the local goal line. When the show was over the Methodists had the Congregationalists ready to leave for home defeated but not disgraced, for they finished dead game and. playing better than on the start.- v-.;. The University of Denver put a team of football warriors on; the field Saturday afternoon that in brawn and performance would have surely given Carlisle or Chicago or any other team r merry chase for the honors of the day.- With Crowley, Volk, Brusse and Walker in the back field there was a team in itself. Then Duke Schroeder was in the line and Myers on an end. Pray, good fellow, what more could ye ask? The Ministers unquestionably have a better team than the Jayhawkers from Topeka. To anyone witnessing Saturday's contest this is an im pressingly evident fact. And it must have been that the Topeka fans were kept posted and some godly father of a Congregational flock got the score and uttered a prayer that was enswered within the last four minutes of play when on a cleverly executed delay pass Washburn circled Denver's left end, McCarroll making a beauti ful dash for a touchdown, turning a ripher into a figure 6. It had seemed that the Koehler brigade's goal line was to remain uncrossed until this Fudden turn of affairs. The goal post broke, the ball was kicked so hard, and Washburn got only her Ave points. D. Tj. played a good defensive grama as well as an exceptionally bril liant offensive game. Meyers in par ticular distinguished himself for his work in this department, getting the rnemy time after time and smashing through the interference with praise worthy accuracy. But the whole D. U. team played first class ball and it would be in justice to the others to say that the game was won by one or two. Volk and Meyers and Crowley were the star, though Walker. Hamill and "Large, what little time he was in, helped bring about the result with es pecial vigilance and execution. Smiley and McCarroll had very effective ideas of how to stop the nemy and get toward their goal. Titns at tackle for Washburn carried the ball considerable for nice gains. Robb and Larimer were brilliant in their defensive playing. Larimer in particular. He tore through the lo cals' interference several times and downed the man in his tracks. Lots of Squabbling. Squabbling in which coaches, players and officials were involved, character ised the game, which began to drag in general Interest before the first half was over. The game was handled welt, the gate keepers were courteous. Everything was done to make the affairs pleasant for the patrons so far as the manage ment was concerned. The side lines were kept clear and the newspaper men taken good care of as well as all oth ers. Washburn won the toss and kicked to D. U. McCarroll booted the ball to the Ministers' -10-yard line. Volk re turned it to the center of the field. D. U 60on brought the forward pass into use after a penalty of 10 yards. Volk tossed the pigskin to Meyers for a ga'n of 20 yards. De Grants was offside and Washburn was. penalised five yards. De Frants Jumped over the discrimi nating line on the eight-yard line and Invoked another penalty. Volk soon carried the ball over, Hamill kicked "an easy goal. Score: D. V.. 6; Wash- b,Mr!ii'rrolL for the. Blue and White. kicked off and the ball went over the line. From the 25-yard line, where the ball was brougnt to, uenver women across the field to Washburn's five-yard line. There was a cloud of dust and fmm th nila humanity shot Mc Carroll for one of the most sensational runs ever seen on a Colorado gridiron. The wearers of the crimsoa and gold took after him but he outdistanced them one by one. Washburn Rooters Had Spasms. All Washburn rooters nearly had spasms. McCarroll had picked the ball up while it was rolling on the ground. There can be no question about- this part of it. But Referee C. Henry Smith declared he had blown his whistle be fore the fumble and McCarroll had his run for nothing. Then there was a lot of rag-chewing, the visitors maintain ing that the ball was rolling on the ground and could not be called dead under the conditions. Smith was sup ported in his contentions by the Den verites, while the masses wondered what was going to happen. Washburn, however, will always contend they should have had this touchdown, while the Koehlerites will contend not. There is room for an all day argument and if there were a. national-commission In football here would be a case for them in all probability. The visitors' took a spiteful brace on their own two-yard ITne and McCarroll punted to the center of the field. Brusse made an elegant forward pass to Meyers for 20 yards., Crowley fum bled, recovered and gained nine yards. Here was another sauabble over dis tance gained. Crowley then skirted Washburn's right end in a glorious manner, making the score 11 to 0. Hamill kicked goal. Hamill then kicked off and the ball went back of the Denverites' goal line and hit the wire fence. Archie Brusse, not without fame, cunningly fell on the spheriod while some Washburn fellow was thinking about it. It would ordi narily have been a touchdown. It was then learned that a ground rule had been previously adopted mak ing a ball dead that hit either fence on a kick-off. This was settled after what seemed half an hour of calico Two Stalwarts at Tackle and Guard. masticating. After much fumbling on the part of both teams and some classy work by Volk and Crowley on the of fensive and McCarroll and Larimer, Crowley went over on a split buck from the two-yard line. Hamill kicked goal. Score 18 to 0. The half closed with the ball on Washburn's fifteen-yard lino in pos session of D. U. Washburn Took a Brace. Washburn seemed to take a brace in the second half and played much i better ball than in the first. Bernhart took Hardy's place. In the second half, Pruter got the ball and got away for a twenty-flve-yard run when he was downed. But he was called back because the ball had been declared dead. D. U. nosed up to the goal. Walker went through for five yards and Crowley went over. Hamill kicked another goal and made the score 24 to 0. Johnson replaced Benton and Large took Crowley's place. Large got into the game with a ven geance. After carrying the ball on a spectacular end run he was given the opportunity of further increasing the score, which he did. Hamfll's toe was again successful. Score, 30 to 0. Washburn finally got the ball on the Methodists' fifteen-yard line. Koons man, the star half from Lamar, re placed Volk and Herbert and Murray replaced Myers and Greene, respec tively. It was not up to Washburn to ac cept their most inviting opportunity of the day. On the four-yard line the Blue and White was shoved back to the six-yard line. With one more down, McCarroll got away on a de layed pass that worked to perfection and made the only score the Kansas Preachers got to tak. back with them. In kicking a goal, McCarroll sent the ball against one of the uprights, knocking it down as if a cannon ball had done the work. There were times when the game became extremely interesting. Spec tacular plays, including forward passes, onside kicks and long runs were not Infrequent. A few times Washburn took spurts and played better ball than D. U.. but these times were few. The Kansas aggregation gave Denver the most formidable offense they have had to deal with this year. Every D. U. man 'was in excellent condition and the Colorado Preachers showed much improvement in team work, especially in the back field on end runs. Opinions of the CoacSies. After the game. Coach Koehler said: "The result did not surprise me. As I stated, and as was stated In the Post. I said I wouldn't be surprised to see Denver win by a large score. I think our men have improved greatly within the last week. I feel that we have a bttter team than Washburn. That's all there is to it." Coach Weede of Washburn said: "The score should have been 18 to 12. I don't think D. U. has as much betttr team as the -score would indicate. The second touchdown should have been a touch down for us. because the ball was fum bled and w? plainly rolling on the ground when McCarroll got away for the 108 yard run. That would have tied the score and would have given our men luart. As It was, they lost heart under the conditions and with an outburst of speed D. U. had little trouble making cnother touchdown. Then they went right on with Our men feeling they were not getting all that was coming to them. "We hadto" give "Denver four downs in place of three one time. The referee claimed the distance should be meas ured with the ball in the position that it was when-in the man's arm. Now, the truth is. the" ball was flat on the ground, the man and many more on top of it." Denver, should have had three touchdowns and we should have had two. "With the exception of one we found no fault with the officials and luck played a hard part because had we beea in Denver's place and the possession of the ball reversed. D. U. might .have had to suffer Just as we did. I don t know. ."I am not offering excuses, begging Tor a pardon for defeat. Denver unl versity has a better. a larger and more tnowerful team than we have. We av erage only 161 pounds, and I would judge that D. U. will average 15 pounds more, anyhow. We played cur best. Two of our men were weakened and un able to play their best. "We have been cordially received by the University, of Denver managers, coaches and the college as a whole, and are returning with a- kindly feeling towardthe institution. Of course, when a fellow feels he didn't get all that was coming it Is doubly hard. Duke Schroeder was the only man hurt during the game. He was stunned, but recovered within a few minutes. He was removed from the game. The line up: Denver. Washburn. Hammil L. E Larimer Schroder .1 T Reazin Darden. Fike Xu G DeFrantz, Bishop. Greene c Whitney, Murray. Fruter R. G Benton, a-' Johnson.

TOPEKA HIGHS WON. Easily Defeated Ottawa in- Game on Washburn Field- The' Topeka-Ottawa high school football game resulted in a victory for the local team the score standing 18 to 5 as stated in the Saturday evening special of the State Journal. The battle was hard fought from start to finish. The Topeka appregation start ed the game and sent the oval spin ning for 40 yards into Ottawa's terri tory, but by straight line plunges the visitors marched down the field with the locals apparently powerless to block the onrush. A touchdown was made in 7 minutes play. Ottawa fail ing to kick goal. The tables were then turned and it was the local team that was making line plunges for good gains. The spectacular play of the game was made when Royce recovered the ball on a fumble and chased 55 yards down the field for a touchdown with the whole opposing team at his heels. The fighting blood of the locals was by this time thoroughly aroused and two more touchdowns followed in quick succession Van Dorp taking the pig skin over the line in both instances. The ball was in Ottawa's territory during the entire second half of the contest but Topeka was unable to score.' The forward pass used success fully once by the home team, but straight football was the general or der of the day. The lineup follows: Topeka Position Ottawa Crabb L. E Smith Bush L.

Fumbla Rrcararad Back of Gtal Lln Decided Basult. JOIOSOff WAS STAB. Kanntdy'g Quarterback Was the Best Ground Gainer. Bates' Field Goal Was tha Only Score, by Aggies. The slisht victory of Kansas univer sity over the Kansas State Agricultural college in their fiercely fought gridiron contest Saturday at Manhattan virtual ly settled the state championship upon K. U. and shows also the most ap proved tactics of two of Kansas' best coaches, Mike Ahem and Bert Ken nedy, assisted by Frank Mosse. That each team general uncovered his entire strategic slate during the contest is certain, still those different things con ceived of as nroducta. of erenius were rubbed off almost as- soon as exposed tney are beautiful exhibitions when an opponent is entirely outclassed but in this battle players dare not be graceful ana tne piay resolved very soon Into the old stylo of play in its utmost sim plicitythe team with the ball kept it on the ground when fighting against the wind, while the team with the wind at its back punted at rery- opportun ity. The greatest lesson taught in all the play of the 35 minute grilling halves is that on-side kick3 are being neglected to a decided loss by most of the teams of the state. The same old short quar terback kick booted a little high is bet ter than ever. It has the advantage over a forward pass of being quicker, sent from a set position without a tell tale formation, and carries no' penalty for striking the ground. The play was successful. Saturday, resulting in K. U.'s only touchdown, the only one of the game. The play showed to be not dangerous to its user by falling into opponents' hands and tried sparingly by both teams. When 25 yards from the college goal Johnson booted a high one which the wind carried out of Bates' reach and as he turned to get it bounding toward his goal line a fierce rush of players of both teams fought for the ball and piled up behind tai goal line. When the writhing mass was untangled by the referee .Johnson was found curled around the ball and K. U. had 'won. Johnson the K. TJ. Star. For Kansas University there was one star, Quarterback Tom Johnson. The rest of the team was little in evidence though they were fighting the fight of the season to stop the fierce onslaught of the Farmers and remain on the field. Johnson's punting was better than that of his opponent for the most part, whila he repeatedly made .long gains from position and sensational returns or punts. His return of punts averaged 20 yards as against less than ten by his opponent. As a whole the university team seem ed stale. Bond, in some games a star, was not going well and was relieved by Ammons. Pleasant-pfayed a steady game though not stellar, v Stevenson at fullback seemed in good form though replaced by Dahlene. But' the team work of Kansas was much better than that of the Aggies. A gaining play was a wide end run by the quarter, John son, protected by the halves and ends which was a better developed end at tack than the state has bad for years. On the other hand the K. S. A. C. attack was much quicker, fiercer and more determined. Still the man with the ball was continually thrown ahead without assistance. Gingery from left tackle starred, smashing through the left side -of the heavy K. U. line time after time. Ramming through the tackle and guard he would swerve in a semicircle back toward center,- which K. U. was playing open, and seldom failed to make good gains. Only once he failed tnd that at the opponents' goal when the play; was started before all the line was set with the result that the over-eagerness caused the loss of a touchdown. K. U. had made their touchdown go Ir g with the wind which blew in a west erly direction. Against that wind Bates at quarter had tried three times to get a drop, kick over the bar. After the touchdown with the wind in his favor he immediately tried again but failed. But the fifth attempt made two min utes before the end of the half passed squarely between the bars and the score was as it remained through the last half, 5 to 3. Loss of Bates Hurt Again. Chancing ends of the field at the second ha'.f. Marhattan again had the wind. Botes, however, was removed from the game for rough playing, which nearly put Johnson out on account of injuries, and Hunter was snirtea rrom fxillback which place was .filled by Parks. The strategic game of the last half was to keep K. U. in their own territory and get another field goal or a touchdown near the end of the half and although K. U. was held In her own territory throughout the entire half he purpose f ailed. Too mucn eagerness and excitement always resulted in a failure for touchdown. Hunter tried three times for a drop kick goal and Farks tried one all without success. It is quite probable that Bates, kicking with the wind in his favor, would have scored the necessary goal to win the game had he remained in. But a few years ago the scors would have been a tie as it was, but the field goal had won too many games with too much ease ana it was cui in vwue 10 fnnr Doints. and now this year to three and a player of a few years since can no longer recognize his oia love in tne scores of today. Five to three to him looks like the outcome of one of those ii f trior games called baseball. The bitterness or tne game iea to pealties. Sixty-five yards were record ed against the Aggies including half the distance to the goal line at the re- No Question as to the Superiority. of CALUMET Baking Powder Received Highest Award Werid't Pare Food Eipitio moval of Bates which happened about 25 yards from the goal line. One pen alty of 15 yards for holding is all taxed to K. U. In the punting department honors are about even though it seemed by watch ing the game that it was all in lavor of Johnson. Johnson averaged 3o yards in five punts with the wind in the first half. Parks and Hunter with the wind in the second half averaged 41 yards in nine punts, three of which went over the head of Johnson at safety and roll ed yards. Bates in the first half against the wind punted but once for 30 yards, preferring the onside kick and ground play when not forced. Johnson on the other hand when forced to kick punted repeatedly aver aging 25 yards against the wind in seven efforts. One play of a fake nature was at tempted by each team. Johnson for K. U. once Jumped back several yards from position with the ball making a quick onside kick which was success ful. The college tried a' delayed pass to -Gingery but the Interference got "balled up" spoiling the play. Two forward passes were tried by the Manhattan Aggies. One- was in the first half when a short on-side kick over the line was recovered by a farmer near the side line and Bates immediately threw the ball wide into the center of the field where an end 1 had hung out waiting. The end was tackled in his tracks. The second at tempt was in the last few minutes of play when they were desperately try ing to score. The attempt was a sim ple pass to left end and fell sadly short striking the ground. Aggies Outplayed K. 17. It is the opinion of most impartial witnesses of the game that K. U. was outplayed throughout the game. They were continually on the defen sive and backed way down into their own territory. The ever present K. U. luck was with the team in their time of greatest need and they recov ered the ball for their score. The far mers were also lucky, perhaps, in the recovery of three successive fumbles but that was in the center of the field and they were carrying the ball. A careful compilation or the gains or the respective teams shows a total gain for the university team of 257 yards while the college gained a total distance of 307 yards. An Innovation original with the Ag gies in this state and of untold bene fit to the players was a side line bul letin board carried by lines men and announcing in big figures the down and the distance to go. Before the game a crowd- of several hundred co-eds who have banded themselves into a rooting club vieing with that of the men marched onto the field with great demonstration and were cheered by the crowds. Dur ing the intermission between the halves the rooters s club surged on to the field in numbers reaching 4 00, and formed silently into a long line of march, the band played a funeral march and the leaders of the line started forth pulling a draped minia ture hearse bearing the red and blue of K. U. When the line had passed huge letters "K. U." were made by sprinkling confetti on the ground and the mob rapidly dispersed. The cheering and rooting was the loudest, best conducted and most prolonged of any game in the state. A crowd of 3,000 witnessed the contest and all joined in the cheering, the clubs using some new methods in de livering their yells. Manhattan Position Kansas .Caldwell R. Smith .V.

Grand Batting Ayeraga f Yt eran Beats Youngster's. IN HARNESS 13 YEARS Young Tiger Holds Supremacy in base Running. Tyrut in His Fourth Year FiN fers Eighty-One Sacks. New York. Oct.. 18.-Hans Wagner and Ty Cobb, both members of pennant winning teams, and who just engaged in a struggle for the world's champion ship, have landed the batting honors for their leagues for 1300, says the New York World. For the seventh time during his 13 years in the National league Hans Wag ner of the Pittsburg Pirates leads the batsmen of that organization with an average of .341 per cent, made in 137 games. Wagner took no part in the games played by the Pirates after they had the pennant cinched. Tyrus Cobb of the Detroit team leads the batsmen of the American league for the second time in his four years of service, with an average of .377 per cent, which is a high mark in thesa days of light hitting. To a close student of the game the comparison of the work of Wagner and Cobb is an interesting study. It shows how the remarkable work of a young player compares with that of ihe sea soned star, who Is considered by thou sands of fans the greatest player the game ever produced. It is in base running that Cobb has gained on Wagner. With 81 pilfers to his credit this season he leads all tho base runners. The young Tiger frequently has been accused of having a swelled head. To disprove this statement, in speaking of Hans Wagner in Pittsburg the other oay that the Flying Dutchman was the greatest man in the game, Cobb said, "I hone. I will some day be the player Wagner is." Following are the records of Wagner and Cobb since they have been in the big leagues: WAGNER'S BATTING RECORD. Position.

Jeffries Says Johnson Never Met a Good Fighter. Queenstown, Oct. 18. When James Jeffries, the American heavy weight, who is a passenger on the steamer Lusitania, bound for New York after a period of training in a suburb of Paris, heard of Jack John son's victory over Stanley Ketchel at San Francisco, he said this in no way would affect his plans, Ketchel, he added, was only a middleweight and not by any means the best of the mid dleweights. "Ketchel," continues Jeffries, "is trying to feed himself up to make the heavyweight class, but it will only weaken him. Johnson is not much of a fighter, and he never met a good man. His fight with Burns was no test. Burns is a newspaper fighter. I can only hope that Johnson will cover my money. I would not fight him if I did not think I could beat him One of Jeffries friends, who is traveling with him, remarked that the fight between Jeffries and Johnson would be a joke. Jeffries now weighs 230 pounds, and he says he will fight at 210 or 212 pounds. ST. YVES LOWERS RECORD. Knocks Eight Minutes Off World's Marathon Tune. Seattle, Oct. 18.

The result at Denver Saturday will occasion no surprise in football cir cles as Denver was really expected to take the long end of a score. A Kan sas team rarely ever makes a good showing In the Rockies. The reports indicate that Washburn fought game ly all the way through. The Blue al ways fights hard, and no matter how decisively defeated, the opposition always has to work for every point it makes. The result of the game will have no effect on Washburn's stand ing In Kansas, and the team still has a chance to win the state's champion ship. This honor is now up to Wash burn and Kansas. Washburn must defeat Kansas, and must also defeat the Aggies to make the title listen well 1n the camps of the enemy. The chances are that Washburn won't have a very hard fight at St. Mary's next Saturday. The Catholics are probably disorganized as a result of the William Jewell trouble last Saturday. The Catholics were all used up in the game, and Quigley had no available substitutes, and on that ac count forfeited the game. Unless the Catholics develop unexpected strength within the next few days, Washburn should carry off the plum Saturday. Kansas still has an undefeated rec ord, but the Aggies managed to throw more than an ordinary scare into them last Saturday afternoon. Kansas with a large amount of luck earned one lone touchdown. The Kansans came through the battle in good shape, and should easily rally for their game with Washburn a week from Saturday. Washburn's next home game is with the Kansas University team a week from Saturday. The Blue is still in the contest for the state cham pionship, and unless put out of the running by the Jayhawkers will be a formidable factor. But the chances are that the Jayhawkers will trim the Congregationalists. Washburn always puts up a hard fight against the Kan sans on the Washburn grounds, though the dope may be upset as is frequently the case. Nebraska won't get to figure in the Big Eight championship this season, as the Gophers managed to put the Cornhuskers out of the running Sat urday The Nebraska team does not bring 'the ttf-ror -to opposing teams which it once did when Lawyer Booth was doing the coaching. Nebraska was rarely defeated for several sea sons until 1906, when Ames managed to win a game, after which the club went to pieces and hasn't been a whirlwind affair since. Nebraska this season isn't as strong as it was a year ago, and it isn't likely the Kan sans will have any trouble. Missouri is still winning all her early season games, taking her last one from the Rollo "School of Mines Saturday. But the club hasn't shown very much yet. Missouri hasn't the material on hand which she did a year ago, and Coach Roper won't get away very good. The Washburn team returned from the Colorado trip this morning. All the players are in good condition and suffered nothing from the trip, save Robb and perhaps Hardy. Robb's el bow was Injured in the game, by ome spectacular flying tackles. Hardy was bumped in the back and had to be taken out. Robb'S injured cidow will keep him out of the game, per haps for the rest of the season. Har dy will be back Jn again soon. Coach Weede and all of the boys take their defeat in true sportsmanlike, style-,. They, however, admit that the scored should not have been so onesided. The Denver players fumbled the ball on tne wasnpurn nve-yara line eany in tne game. jwcijarrou graDDea it and took it to the other end of tho field. The referee brought it back say- Ing that the ball had been declared dead, although all the Washburn i nhven maintain that thA ball was still pretty lively for a dead one. The result was that Washburn did not get the touchdown and the Denverites made a touchdown two minutes later. This it can readily be seen made a difference of ten or twelve points in favor of the Denver team. Again on the third klckoff. the Washburn play ers got the ball on their own 25-yard line. Then a march down the field followed until the team had advanced the ball forty yards on straight line bucks. Then Denver took the ball. This was done throusrh the mere tech nicality of measuring when the ball was placed with its longest axis at right angles to the ground. Instead of the shorter axis as the rules provide. This also might have made a differ ence. Coach Weede says a score of IS to 12 in favor of Denver, would have about expressed the merits of the game. No one criticises any of the officials, save Referee Smith, who comes in for unanimous condemna tion at the hands of the Washburn players. Jimmy Coffroth. the promoter, an nounced the receipts of the Johnson Ketchel fight at $32,300. This is in excess of the seating ca pacity, but it is explained by rtie fact that 900 extra were crowded Into the bleachers section and that many standing room tickets were disposed of at $5 per head. The fighters took 60 per cent of the receipts, divided 65 per cent to the winner and 35 per cent to the loser. This made Johnson's end S12.480 end Ketchel's J6.720. As there was a $5. 000 side bet Johnson will receive over $17,000 for his day's work and Ketch el must be content with $1,720. as ho lost $5,000 on the bet. In addition the negro had a 40 per cent Interest in the moving pictures as against 30 per cent held by Coffroth. "That Is the most interesting ex hibit and the best investment proposi tion I have ever seen," was the re mark made by a prominent man, af ter being shown through the San Diego exhibit at the National hotel.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1909. i PITTSBURG IT IS. Pirates Win Baseball Champion ship 1909. Adams Pitches His ThirdTictory in Serifs. DONOVAN WAS WILD. Retired in Faror of Milin in Feurth. Pirates Bat Hard and Field In Superb Fashien. Detroit, Oct. 16. Pittsburg won the world's championship today by over whelming Detroit by the score of 8 to 0. in the seventh and decisive game of one of the hardest world's series ever fought. This was the third successive time Tetrolt has been defeated in the world's championship series and con sequently the third straight victory for he National league, the Chicago Na tionals having won the title In 1907 and 1908. Credit Goes to Adams. To Charles Adams, the young Pitts tiurg pitcher, belongs the major por tion of the credit for winning the series. This is the third victory for the youngster, as he won the first game at Pittsburg, 4 to 1, the fifth game, at Pittsburg. 8 to 4, and today's contest. He held the Tigers safely at all times and allowed only six hits, two of these coming in the fourth Inning, but the remainder being distributed, one to each session. Donovan Walked Sis Men. Donovan started the game for De troit and lived up to his title of "Wild Bill" by giving six bases on balls and hitting one batter in the first two inn ings. In the third he allowed a two bagger and a single and George Mul lin, the ironman of Detroit, succeeded him in the fourth inning. Batted Mullin Hard. It was a case of once too often for Mullin, as he has worked in four of the seven games of the series. The new world's champions hit hard in spots and scored four runs on him, three in the sixth and one in the eighth. Byrne Was Knocked Out. The first inning added two more ac cidents to the casualty list for the series. Byrne reached first base when he was hit by Donovan and went to second on Leach's sacrifice. Manager Clarke passed him a hit and run signal, but failed to hit and Byrne was caught off third after a desperate slide. Byrne sprained his ankle in the play and was carried from the field. Moriarlty remained in the game until he doubled in the second Inning and then his injured leg failed him and le was withdrawn, O'Leary succeeding him. Score by innings: Score by Innings: R.H.E.

Outboxtd .White Man at Stages of Fight. Ill Colma, Cal., Oct. 18. In the fight here Saturday evening Jack Johnson, he negro, retained his title as heavy weight champion of the world by knocking out Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight champioji, in the twlefth round of a fiercely contested fight. Ketchel made a good showing and was game as a pebble, but the negro was too clever and too strong for him. The following is the fight by rounds; Round 1 The men did not shake hands. Johnson towered above his CHAMPIONSHIP. TEAM. adversary by several Inches. The champion scored almost immed iately with a hard left to the stomach. "Make him lead." yelled the spectators to Ketchel. Ketchel apparently was determined to make the black lead and sparred 'or almost half a minute. Johnson, at long range, shot his left tc the face twice with lightning like rapidly. Ketchel forced the black againts the ropes, but the latter wrig Cled away without receiving a blow. The bell rang with the men In the center of the ring. Round 2 They ran to a clinch and Referee Welch pried them apart. On the break Johnson shot a straight left to the nose and soon thereafter re peated it. At every clinch Ketchel was playing with his short arm blows for the stomach blows. In a clinch Ketchel upper cut hard to the Jaw with his left. This angered the champion, who rushed in, landing left and right on the body and Ketchel slipped to the floor with con siderable force. He was up quickly and rushed in, but had great difficulty In getting under Johnson's long reach. Johnson merely toyed with Ketchel until bell ended the round. Ketchel's face showed grim determination as he took his seat. Round 3 They sparred perfunctor ily for a full thirty seconds and then closed in, swinging right and left at close range, Ketchel landing on the body once with his right. Ketchel drove. his right high on the negro's breast, and as they clinched Johnson upper cut twice with his right. The referee then separated the belliger ants. They again rushed in close. Johnson putting in short rights and left to the stomach. The white man upper cut with left to the fae aj they broke from a clinch. Just before the round ended Johnson swung his right to the jaw. Round 4. After a sparring-fest Johnson rushed in, forcing his man to the ropes adn placing his arms around Ketchel, fairly carried hmi to the cen ter of the ring. "Make him lead," came the repeated injunction from Willis Britt. Ketchell mised a terrific swin intended for the Jaw. It was a him abrely an Inch. Johnson steadily backed away as they sparred for a lead with Ketchel following. Johnson then sent a hard right to the jaw. Ketchel constantly kept teasing the big black in an effort to make him lead. It i I XX,

Jack Johnson, the Heavyweight Cham i was a tame round, characterized by a few bursts of speed. Ketcliel Improves. Round 6 Ketchel opened with left to the body, to which the cham pion replied with two weak lefts to the face. Johnson then sent Ketchel's head back with two straight lefts to the nose. Ketchel again essayed to force Johnson to lead, to which the champion failed to respond. Ketchel showed unexpected cleverness at blocking the negro's leads whenever Johnson chose to lead. Johnson flung his left twice to the face and the men sparred long range, Johnson working a left to the face. Neither man showed damages the rounded ended. Few leads marked the round, John son having a shade. Round 6 Each missed a left swing and then Ketchel landed a left to the body and followed with another left to the Jaw. Johnson countered with a left to the stomach. Johnson shot out bis left, catching Ketchel onboth hands as the latter threw up his guard and Ketchel sank to the floor. He was up smiling, however. Johnson gave him a warm reception. He uppercut with right to the Jaw. Ketchel continued to force the pace but was met with two lefts on the nose that started blood flowing. Ji-hnson had a good lead to the round and looked as though he was holding back. In every clinch during the fight Ketchel was bent back by the superior weight and strength of the negro. Round 7 Johnson swooped In with two lefts on the nose. Ketchel counter ing with a hard left hook to the body. Johnson shot another straight left to the nose, and Ketchel missed terrific left swing for the Jaw. As they closed. In Johnson upper cut with right to the Jaw and Ketchel used the negro's shoulder as a mat with which to wipe the flowing blood from his nostrils. At close quarters John son landed several times on tne nose and face. Suddenly Ketchel swung his left with terrific force and It caught the champion solidly on the Jaw rais ing a big lump that was perceptible to the spectators. It was by far the clean est and best blow of the fight and the immense crowd arose to It feet yelling gleefully. Round 8 Johnson's smile had van ished when he came up. He immedi ately closed In landing twice with his left on the face.. The fighters roughed it, shoulder to shoulder and Ketchel worked. in a bard uppercut to the jaw. The referee separated the men, Johnson landing left and right on the face as they broke Ketchel missed a terrific right swing and almost went through the ropes from the force of his effort. Johnson forced his opponent back gradually and landed a' left to the jaw. Ketchel again missed a hard right swing and again nearly went through the ropes from misdirected force.- -Ketchel ran to hU corner smiling, while the crowd cheered. Round 9 They closed In, each land ing short arm rights on the face. Welch was forced twice to break the men from clinches. The champion' sent in four stinging straight lefts to the face, but Ketchel did not break ground. On the contrary, he rushed In. hammering at the champion's stomach, but his blows were smothered. Ketchel planted his left over the ribs and Johnson coun tered with a short left to the jaw. Johnson again hooked his left to the Jaw and a clinch followed. Johnson broke it up with a nasty straight left to the face and the round ended In favor of the champion. Round 10 After a clinch Johnson sent two lefts to the stomach and quickly shifted to the Jaw, where he connected twice and started Ketchel spitting blood. Johnson wrestled Ketchel to the floor and then lifted him up and placed him in the center of the ring. In a midring rally John son sent three straight lefts to Stan ley's sore mouth and nose, starting the blood afresh. Johnson again wrestled and Ketchel almost .went off his bal ance. Johnson, getting Ketchel against the ropes, sent a right wallop o the stomach and Ketchel winced. Johnson patted Ketchel on the stom ach with his open hands as the bell clanged. Ketchel looked worried as he sat in his chair between rounds. Round 11 After some desultory sparring Ketchel whipped his left to :he kidneys and missed two hard rwings for the Jaw. It was noticeable that Johnson's right uppercuts, which he used with such good effect In his other fights, had little effect upon Ketchel. The Michigander started the great crowd cheering by landing a ter rific right almost on the jaw and the big black immediately clinched and reemed content to rest. Ketchel forced the fighting, seeking to follow the ad vantage, but could not further pene trate the negro's clever defense. Ketchel was vigorously cheered as he sought his corner. Ketchel's face was badly battered from the effects of the negro's constant left jabs. Round 12 Ketchel suddenly rush ing in, shot his right for the Jaw. It struck the champion on the arm and' the big negro fell fiat upon his back and seemed to have injured- himself. Ketchel rushed right at him, but the tricky champion was waiting for him. He swung a hard right to the Jaw and, quick as a flash, shot a left to the Johnson sent in another right to the face and the white man went to the mat as if shot, where he lay prone, with blood streaming from his mouth. He made a weak effort to rise, but fell back again and was counted out. plon Itoni a Kecent Photograph. t i i v7 I i

This being the case Senator flr! his npmocratic brethren should be among the last to worry about it. Motorcyclists in the city are to be surrounded by ordinances similar, in I effect and Just about as stringent as I those which prevail against the auto- I mnhlliato. This is decidedly reason-1 able. There may be room for dis- Mnetion between motorcycles and I automobiles but the difference be- tween them is not exceedingly great. This will settle it In the minds pf a I few. Colonel Roosevelt has con- gratulated Peary on his performance ef "one of the greatest feats of the age." But, perhaps, Bwana Tumbo refers to that remarkable accomplish- ment whereby Mr. Peary transformed himself from a gentleman or nign at- talnments to a donkey of the braying I type. mmmmmmmmm Saturday, October 23, is the last day on which the voters of this city can register and qualify to participate in the special election to be held on avember 2 for the purpose of de ciding whether or not the commis sion form of government shall be adopted for Topeka. And many of them still have this important civic duty to discharge. Robert Tj. Owens, one of Okla hitma'a TTnttftri Rtntes aenntnr.s Is nn. parently obsessed with the extreme modesty which prevails among the rank and file of the individuals in the new state. He is after something like a $7,000,000 fee for his services as a lawyer for the Mississippi Choctaw In- dians In connection with a claim of theirs against the government which was prosecuted successfully. Professor L. L.

Presumably, when he re- turns, Mr. Peary and his crowd will Insist that such things as Professor Dyche brings back are imitations, made of papier mache or some other stuff.

Now the most peculiar part about this affair is that a good rain followed the fire. In all likelihood, a bad precedent has been established.' The next time they make big fires for rain the prop erty damage will probably be more extensive and the rain will stay away. That's how such things generally work out. "To the girl who has been rightly trained," says the Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger, "whose essential charm is enhanced by innocent reserve, un affected candor, ardent enthusiasm for things that are beautiful and good. a manner unfailing1 courteous and an enunciation musically sweet to any maiden who unites these not" in compatible qualities, the doors of social and personal opportunity are (thrown wide open, and she is received I with pleasure anvwhere. as with pleasure anywhere, as likely to impart more 'sweetness and light' than she receives." But where, if the inquiry is not impertinent, is such a paragon of feminine perfection to be found outside of heaven? AFTER THE QUACKS. Encouragement should be given in every possible way to the crusade which is about to be started by the Kansas state board of medical regis I tration and examination to drive the magnetic healers and freak doctors of ever sort out or this state. Former Governor Hoch secured legislation mak ing this possible. Attorney General Jackson says this law Is constitutional in every particular. Its enforcement lies in the hands of the state board Of health, and this, of itself, means that it will be carried on vigorously and successfully. Almost every state in the Union has laws against alleged physicians and surgeons of this type. These laws are I generally enforced Perhaps that is the reason why they have flocked to Kan sas in such "reat numbers of late, for this state has apparently become a veri table dumping ground for .them. There is hardly a city or town of any size

PULIiMAJf KATES. Certainly, the effort which has been undertaken by the state board of rail- road commissioners for a reduction of the charees on the Pullman cars in this state will be a popular one with the traveling public. It has been their 1 opinion for some time now that these charges for the most part are exces sive. and in many instances unfair. Apparently they are arranged accord- ln(r to no system at all but just put in at random according to the will of the punman people. This is made evident by the fact that they are far from beine anything like uniform because different charges are made for the ,ame ana greater and less service in variOU3 sections of the state. For in- stance, the same rate for both day and night service applies from Topeka to reveral cities which are many, many miles from each other. Surely it is no more than Justice to tsk that these Pullman rates be made uniform and there is also justice in the plea that they be reduced. This is particularly true because of the fact that the Oklahoma authorities have been successful in negotiations with the Pullman officials whereby the par lor and sleeping car rates in that state are to be reduced materially. Under this agreement the maximum rate for berths in Oklahoma in the future-is to be Jl-50. and for the privilege of riding n ir-unman cars in me ud,nmo me rates are to De estaoiisnea on oasis of one-half a cent a mile with reason- aDje minimum maximum cnrg lor Pullman berth in Kansas now is $3 for fcPpruxmiiiLeiy me iuucoi naui .uj- sibie in the state. Between points of on anything approacning a so-mucn per mile basis. It is not unreasonable to assume that practically the same Pullman rates should apply in Kansas that prevail in Oklahoma. Conditions ol travel and distance are pretty much the same in ?he two states And if Oklahoma is Btlt,A1. to lower Pullman rates so is Kansas. Oklahoma secured her re- auced rates without much trouble and wl'hout any recourse to the courts. Kansas ought to be able to do the same thing and if the board of rail- road commissioners are successful in accompllshing it, they will be deserv- ,ng of great credit. IS ISIiAM READY TO YIELD? "The phenomenal political and social changes within recent months in the Mohammedan Orient, especially In Tur key and Persia, have in many circles aroused the hope that now Christianity will reconquer the wide domain of Christian lands In East and Northern Africa taken from it more than a thou sand years ago by the followers of the prophet of Mecca, and that Islam, as a religion and as a distinct and separate type of culture and civilization, will rapidly disintegrate before the forces of western and Christian ideas," says Cur rent Literature for October. "Turkey, it seems, was granted relig ious liberty through the constitution of the 24th of July, 1908. The overthrow of Abdul Hamid II on the 27th of April, during the present year, confirmed this constitution anew, and made freedom of conscience the law of the land. In the very first session of parliament un-' der the new sultan the question was seriously discussed whether Islam was still to be regarded as the official relig ion of the Turkish empire. The Toung Turks are extremely desirous that they should be considered by the rest of Europe as thoroughly modern men, and in their struggle with the Old Turks they have need of the help of the Christians and dare not offend them, But, notwithstanding all this, it re mains to be seen how the Mohamme dans will in practice take to religious freedom. Legally a Moslem at the present time can become a Christian without being condemned to death on this account, as was formerly the case, and the work of Christian missionaries among the Mohammedans can now no longer be suppressed legally. "An impression prevails that in Islam politics and religion are so intimately interwoven that the political disinte gration of the people of this faith, which is transpiring before our eyes in the Mediterranean lands, will bring with It also a religious disruption. But the actual history of Islam during the nineteenth century does not warrant any such conclusion." JOURNAL ENTRIES Brevity, generally pleasing, is often quite as unsatisfactory.

Wilson is to be congratulated for delivering a body blow upon that instrument ot Satan and appurtenance of Hades, the matrimonial bureau.

Judge Wilson's words were: "This court will not errant a divorce to a couple who have met thrr ugh the agency of a matrimonial bureau and nave later become dissatisfied after a legal marriage. This short, forceful sentence should be printed in large type and hung in a prominent place in every probate court in tne state of Kansas, and it will not hurt If the ministers included it in that part of the ritual which calls upon the mythical individual to come forth and protect or forever after hold his peace. The matter of hasty, ill-considered marriage, with the resultant flood of divorce suit3, littering the court dockets, consuming time with the de tails of petty incompatibilities and poisoning by their very presence, the air of society, is of far more concern in the life of the state, than occasion al germs in a drinking cup, a cake of camphor in a barber shop or a pmcn of benzoate of soda in the mustard None of the multitude of reformers in state legislatures seems to b- equal to the task involved in this problem Society has been reformed, in a tenta tive wav. alone almost all other lines.

It was only A very few years ago that President Roosevelt picked Mr. Shonts out of a lite-long oDscunty ana started him on the highway to fame. Mr. Shonts was then but a little known railrcad president of one of the sec ondary or tertiary systems of the coun try. He was made chairman of the Isthmian canal commission by the former president. "Soon after his wife went abroad and it was but a litt'e while until rumors percolated back about the engagement of one of the Shonts eirls to a" French duke. Mr. Shonts resigned his government posi tion to become president of the New York street railway trust and the mar riage of his -daughter' Theodora to tae Duke de Chafalnes'since deceased, took place seen afterwards. The Shontees were climbing. With a real, live duke in the family they could not be wholly Ignored and doors form erly closed against them swung out ward. The social progress of the fam ily continued. Nearer and nearer they, were approaching the goal of social ambition of American millionaires, but their triumph was- not complete. No scandal worse than the marriage of a daughter to a more or less worthless lord had added distinction to the fam ily name. But all this is changed now, and to the father of the family belongs the credit. Frederick Hipsh, the New York manager for a Kentucky distillery, has sued "Papa" Shonts on the charge of alienation of his wife's affections. Mr. Shonts claims it is a case of mistaken identity, that he has a double and the wicked double is responsible for the scandal, but the lady says she knows Mr. Shonts, though he has always treated her as a perfect gentleman should. Charitable people will accept Mr. Shonts' version of the matter, but the social prestige of the family ought now to be firmly established. Hutchin son News. FROM OTHER PENS GREATER SOUTH AMERICA. Chili Is one of the foremost three South American countries, and Its mili tary and naval efficiency is notably high. Early this year Chilllan army officers were taken to Colombia to reorganize the Colombia army. They have now thrown up the task and will return home, because the Colombia govern ment will not establish a modern sys tem of army supply and control. With out such a system they say that their work is useless. The idea of creating efficient national armies in South American countries, under the guidance of skilled South American officers. was a fine one. It would have cultivated a more patriotic general South American spirit, and perhaps indirectly have helped along the development of the continent. But the Colombian experiment has failed. Whether another attempt will bt made remains to be seen, nut ror tne pres ent, at least, the armies of the north' em nart of the 1 continent will evi dently remain what they have been.

Only a small fraction of the forest area of the country is in national forests, and if America is to be saved from the fate of desiccation, which has overtaken every spendthrift nation in the world's his tory, scientific forestry must be made the everyday practice of the people, and it must be recognized in the funda mental law of the states. Forestry Is a public duty which is be ginning to be recognized by the legisla tures of the various states, where there are thousands of square miles of hill side and upland, barren and waste land, fit only for tree-growing. A num ber of states have planned systematic reforestation, only to find that the tax laws stood in the 'way of success. It la but reasonable that growing trees should be exempt from taxation until they mature, and 'are ready to be cut and marketed.

When the Kiel canal was inaugur ated, in June, 1895, with such imposing festivities, the constructors imagined that they had provided a permanent highway by which battleships and mer chant vessels of the greatest size could pass from the North sea to the Baltic. The fourteen years that have passed since the opening of the canal have shown how shortsighted were the pro moters as regarded the dimensions which they gave to the canal. They had then to deal with vessels about 470 feet long and 72 feet In breadth, and, believing that these represented finality as regarded the size of ships, they gave to the locks a length of 487 feet, a width of 81 feet, and a depth of 32 feet. It was soon seen that these calcula tions were lamentably below the mark. Great Britain and Germany entered into a keen rivalry in the matter of ocean liners and the creation of a strong navy, and the progress of inven tion aided shipbuilders in the produc tion 01 vessels or ever-increasing ton nage. To take three typical vessels tne J.aiserin Auguste Victoria (Norc1 deutscher Lloyd) has a length of 728 feet and a breadth of 78 feet; the Mauretania (Cunard company) has a length of 785 feet and a breadth of 88 feet, while the Baltic (White Star Line) has a length Of 725 feet and a hreoih of 74 feet. For vessels of such a size the iriel canal Is useless, but an even more im portant consideration has influenced the government in deciding upon the enlargement of the waterway. The original object was to inia tv, ficiency of the German navy by provid ing it with the means of rapid transit aitic to the North sea but while armored cruisers nr ahn iium iuhh uan mane tne passage, practically nonexistent, and the strik. us uuwer or tne n'gh sea fleet Is pro portionately diminished.

When Philip Martin, of 43 Mission street, asked his wife Thursday what he had better do about a stray collie dog which took refuge with the couple three days ago, she advised him to ad vertise the animal to comply with the iaw. The dog hung its head and whin ed dismally, then crept up to the man and licked his hand, as if to say, "Please don't." When the man started for the door the collie laid down against it, so it wouldn't open. Mrs. Martin petted and coaxed It. but It -wouldn't budge, and finally Martin, who is kind hearted and really liked the dog- though he felt he had not right to harbor it. slipped out another door. In an hour he returned. "Well, did you put the 'ad' in the paper? asked his wife, "Yes," said Martin. With that the dog made a rush for the open door and disappeared in the direction of Bloom fleld. Martin went after it, but it was out of sight before he reached the cor ner. The Martins are wondering if the dog has committed suicide. When it came to the Martins it looked as if it had been maltreated. Montclair (N. J.) dispatch to New York Press. Pittsburg Too Profane.

"I am Barnes of Bloomington, to the silver vision in the chair. "It is a rather singular errand upon which I have come," said the lady with hesitation. "Kindly state it, madam," I said, for I am no waster of words. I drew a chair to the other side or my desk and sat down. As I did it. something soft flopped down on my foot. I looked and found that it was the tall of a dog He was a thorough bred from his head to his feet, and he looked up at me from under the desk with bright eager eyes. "Is that your dog?" I asked.

Her voice was .nnniiratinr: her face pleaded. "Please, dear Mr. Barnes, everybody knows that you like dogs that s the reason I want to trust Wellington to vnii." And so I became possessed of a r.irwded hull dud. At first I endured him for Mrs. Carter's sake, but gradu- e.ll-17 he wormed himseir into my auct tions, and in six months we were in separable. But he was still true to his first loves. When Dick Carter's red car rounded a corner Wellington would be after it like a nasn. ana 11 ws even entered the shopping district I would miss my dog, to find him comfortably curled up on the seat of the electric coupe of his former mistress. They were not a happy-looking pair these young people and It seemed a pity that they should not be getting out of life all there is in it. I said as much to Mrs. Carter as I rescued her one day from Wellington's caresses. "T,llfTi couldn't forgive him," she said. "Why not?" "He said I'd have to ask his pardon and I never begged any one's pardon in my life." "Hum was it your fault?" "Get in and I'll tell you." It was a sad little tale of a proud woman's rebellion against a man's masterfulness "Why shouldn't he concede things?" 'was her demand. It was a crisp October evening that the little drama was finally played out. Mrs. Carter called me up by telephone. "I want to borrow Wellington," she said. "It's my second girl's evening out and the cook's mother is ill, so I'll be alone and I thought Wellington might keep me from feeling afraid." I toolf the dog over and left them to gether by the roaring fire in the library. Mrs. Carter was looking especially at tractive in a clinging white gown with a bunch of violets in her belt. When I reached home again I was lonely. I missed Wellington and I missed more than that. I seemed to feel for the first time, my great need of a home of a wife of a woman like Mrs. Carter. But In spite of their separation she still belonged to Dick. I had gradually conceived a great affection for the young fellow who held his head so proudly and hid the pain of his heart. I decided to go to him for the evening. I found him in a mood for talking. And when I told him where 1 had iert well ington, he confided to me the story of his disagreement witn nis wire. "She was wrong," he said. "A man can't give in always." "But If he loves her," I said, "isn't it worth while? "I 1 did make a concession," he con fessed. "I wrote to her a day or two ago, and and I told her that if she would send me any token bunch of violets a ribbon anything I would accept it in lieu of a personal apology." "She is proud. She will never send you even a violet in apology. But even as I said it. there was a patter of steps in the hall, ar- a familiar whine at the door. "It's Wellington," Dick said. "Hello he began and stopped short, and I, turning in my chair to know the reason of his sudden silence, saw the big dog. his head held high, a bunch of vio lets held tightly in his Jaws. And even as I looked he dropped the flowers at his master's- feet. Dick snatched them up quickly. "Barnes," he cried, triumphantly, "she has sent them. Jean has sent them." Wellington barked as if he knew he was the carrier of good tidings. "I must go to her," Carter s3. and away he went, and I sat there with only Wellington for company and thought of :hf Ir happiness and of my lonely Ufa.
