But Men He Wounded Say He's the Man. Crime Boldest, Bloodiest in Wa baunsee County History. Alma, Kan.. March 10. Nearly 12 years after killing one man, wounding another so that he died four years after ward, slightly wounding a girl with whom he was in love, and painfully wounding a man who tried to prevent the shooting. man identified as John Thomas, or ".".fissouri John," is in jail at Alma. The shootir.g occurred on the Fowler ranch, near Maple Hill. He was returned yesterday by Sheriff H. C. Ericsson after being arrested in Fort Worth, Texas. The prisoner de nies he is the man wanted or that he was ever in Kansas, but because of the i i": f tlio nrlcnnep as Thomas, Ericsson believes he is the man. An eflort to secure a further Identification will be made today. John Thomas. Wabaunsee County Murderer. Captured After Eluding Officers 12 Years. When arrs.ted Thomas was going by- the name of C. G. Kienningham, said to be his real name. Thomas is charged with the killing of Edwin Fransen, and assault aith intent to kill on Gus Carlson, Carl Kinstrom, Lens Anderson and Nellie Brand. The shoot ing occurred at Maple Hill, Mav 4, 1898. Tom Gristy, one of the men who worked with Thomas and into whose bed Thomas fired five shots on the night of the shooting, was called to Texas to identify the suspect and he declared the man was Thomas. H. Lee Smith of Wichita also identified the suspect at Wichita and Wednesday afternoon when Sheriff Ericsson and his prisoner left the train Henry Bute fish, who boarded the train, said, "Hello, Thomas," when he saw the suspect. "You go to was the cheerful greeting of the prisoner. "I'm not Thomas." Several of the men who knew and worked with Thomas will go to Alma today from Maple Hill, and will try to identify him as the man who did the shooting. There have been a dozen arrests made 'n the last 12 years but in each case it was quickly proven that the suspect was not the man wanted. All of the witnesses to the shooting have left Maple Hill and this section of the country and it will likely be a difficult matter to prove that there was such a shooting so far as eye wit nesses are concerned. It is not be lieved there is one witr.ess in Wabaun see who saw the man who did the shooting at the time it was done. All About a Girl. The shooting for which Thomas is wanted grew out of his love for a rretty Scotch girl, Nellie Brand. Thomas was employed on the Fowler ranch, near Maple Hill. The Brand girl was employed as a maid by Mrs. W. J. Tod, and the ranch boarding house is near the Tod residence. Soon after the girl entered the em ploy of Mrs. Tod. Thomas made her acquaintance and they were together nearly every evening. Their meetings were always clandestine because of the rules of the ranch that the men and maids should not "mix." Two dozen men are employed at the ranch and they soon learned of the "case" of Thomas and the girl. Thomas was unmercifully twitted about the girl. Added to this. Thomas was. with perhaps one exception, the only Ameri can working on the ranch. The rest of the employes were Swedish or Scotch. The majority of them were Swedes. At last the girl and Thomas had trouble and shortly afterward the ranch superintendent. learning of what had occurred, discharged Thomas and the girl was also discharged. The girl went to what is known as the West Fowler ranch, where her sister was employed, and Thomas, swearing he would kill every Swede on the ranch, went to Kansas City. A few days afterward Thomas re turned to Maple Hill. That night he secured a horse, rode to the West ranch boarding house and called for Nellie Brand. She came to the door and he asked her to come outside and talk to him. She declined. Drawing his revolver, Thomas fired at her head. The bullet inflicted an ugly scalp wound on the too of her head and the girl fell as if she were dead. Then Thomas began firing into the room, in which sat a number of men. Edward Fransen, who was to have sailed for Sweden within a week, was shot in the stomach. Carl Kirstrom attempted to shut the door and a shot aimed at his stomach struck him in the arm, and this fact probably saved his life. At last someone in the room extinguished the light; those who were not wounded found hiding places and Thomas, after firing several more shots, left the place. Telephones were not so plentiful then as they are now and Thomas, M7 knowing that no one would leave the West ranch until daylight, turned his face to the east, prepared for further revenge for real or fancied insults. Raids East Ranch. Too. Going to the boarding house on the East ranch. Thomas called for the foreman who had notified him of his discharge. When Carlson opened the door, he said: "Gus, you're a pretty good fellow, but you turned me in, so take that." "That" was a shot from the revolver which struck Carlson in the stomach. Carlson caught Thoma3' hand In the door and had not the other occupants cf the room been frightened until they could not move Thomas career could have been stopped there. But they rendered po asristance and Thomas finally freed himself. He then fired several shots toward the bed in which lay Lens Anderson, but his intended victim was not injured. Thomas then turned to the room in which Tom Gristy. as fate would have it the first man to identify him when his arrest came 12 years later, usually fclept, and fired several shots through the be-1. Gristy slept in the Maple Hill boarding house from which .Thomas had started that night and to this fact probably owes his life. A rather humorous feature of the shooting is told in connection, with the man who ran the boarding house. He is David Scott, a Scotchman of the old school, and when he heard the shooting inside the house his first thought was that some of the rarch boys were cele brating without just provocation. Rais ing the window to his bedroom which was just over the door in which Thomas stood he leaned out of the window and shouted in a stern tone: "What 'the de'il is the matter down there?" For answer Thomas fired twice at the window and it is recorded thatrthe win dow sill was badly strained and wrench ed where Scott's head struck it on the return Journey. After the shooting Thomas remained in Wabaunsee county nearly two weeks. Various efforts were made to find him by a lot of people who did not expect to find him and in some cases were not particularly anxious to do so. Thirleen days after the shooting he was seen near Templin. He stayed with John Olson, a prosperous Swedish farmer near Alta Vista a couple of days, shav ing off Lis mustache while there. He turned the horse he rode the night of the shooting into the Matthews pasture, near Halifax, and hid the saddle in a clump of bushes. May 16 he was seen at Volland, Alta Vista, and Dwight. He was last seen in Herington. Mrs. Anna Carlson and her three children live in Maple Hill today. She is the widow of one of Thomas' vic tims. After the shooting she and Carlson were married and they lived happily for 4 years. Then Carlson, who had been in bad health since the shooting died. The capture of Thomas, if it proves to be him, reflects credit upon sheriff Ericsson. Since he was first elected sheriff of Wrabaunsee county, now nearly 6 years ago, Ericsson has de clared he would capture Thomas. Ev ery six months since that time he has flooded the country with circulars containing a description and photo of the wanted man. There is a $300 reward for Thomas now. This reward was $500 shortly after the kill ing, but $200 of it has been with drawn. Recently the marshal of Stephen ville, Texas, saw a man who resem bled the picture of Thomas and wired Sheriff Ericsson. That official went to Stephenville. Thomas had gone to Ft. Worth but the officer followed, without the slightest clue as to where he would locate his man. He told the sheriff at Ft. Worth of the case and two clever deputies were detail ed to assist the Wabaunsee county of ficer. Thomas was finally arrested on one of the business streets. He was taken so quickly that he had no time to offer resistance. The journey to Alma was made without incident. TONIGHT'S MEETING. In Connection With Street Railway Improvements. The Topeka Railway company cer tainly has its troubles. It wants to extend its lines, give service to por tions of the city now without service and connect up its tracks to give still better service, and yet many residents along the streets proposed to be used object. They are willing the company should build on other streets, but not on their own. The company being a "street" railway must build, if it builds at all, on some street and there you are. It seems hard to please the gen eral public and individuals, too. The company will explain its desires and the service it believes the growth of the city demands at the council chamber tonight. A big city map ten feet square will be used in the demon stration. The public is asked to at tend. TO DECIDE HIS FATE. Case of Catcher Kling W ill Be Closed Soon. Chicago, March 10. Final disposi tion of the case of John Kling, catch er for the Chicago Nationals who seeks to be reinstated will be made immediately following the return of President Johnson of the American league from his trip to the Pacific coast. This was announced today and a meeting will be held at Cincinnati for the purpose of passing on the case. It was originally intended to reach a settlement by a mall vote, but a great number of other cases have arisen since that time and it will be necessary for the members of the national commission to gather at Cin cinnati. Johnson is not expected bark from the coast before next Tuesday. BIG FIRE AT FAIRVIEW. Kansas City A Orient Shops Valued at $100,000 Destroyed. Wichita. Kan.. March 10. The Kan sas. City. Mexico Orient railway car repair shops at Fairview. Ok., valued at $100,000, were burned last night. They will be rebuilt. GIVESJIGURES. Philadelphia Strike Committee Backs Up Its Claim That There Are Orer 125,000 Men in the Banks. IS MUCH ENCOURAGED By Success in Breaking into the Baldwin Works. Other Big Open Shop Plants Will Be Attacked. Philadelphia, March 10. Encour aged by the success which met their efforts yesterday in breaking into the ranks of unorganized labor and per suading several thousand workers in this city to join the general strike movement, union labor leaders con tinued their campaign today to swell the army of sympathizing strikers. Baldwin's locomotive works where 2,000 men quit yesterday and which was considered almost impregnable against the attacks of unionism was again the object of much attention by the union men and their hope to add to their ranks of idle men before the close of the day. The success in penetrating the Bald win works is likely to lead to a cam paign against other large industrial plants which are considered "open shop" places. The committee of ten of the Central Labor union which is conducting the general strike has given out figures to support its claim that between 125. 000 and 150,000 persons are idle. It announced that the total number of men, women, boys and girls on strike up to last night was 139,571. The com mittee gave out the following approx- 1 imaia ngures. Building trades 40,000; metal trades 20,000; textile trades 30,000; garment workers men's wear 10,000; garment workers women's wear 9,000. Miscellaneous Workers. Asbestos workers 105; cloth hat and cap workers 210; cigar makers 2,000; shirt waist and laundry work ers 1,000; piano movers 151; bakers and confectioners 341; paviors and rammers 468; suspender makers 211; electrical workers 365; waiters 410; upholsterers 142; street hackmen 11 0; chauffeurs 150; street car men 6,200; hatters 972. According to the labor committee the following unaffiliated workers are on strike: Lawn mower makers 300; glaziers 178; American hoe and shovel com pany ,161; National Cutlery company 84; butchers 300; sheet metal workers 500; worsted weavers 1,700; stone masons 650; laborers 250; wood carv ers 125; mast carpet mills 400; Ger mania carpet mills 300; rolling spring works 200; Wallace Wilson hosiery company 600: Baldwin Locomotive works 6.000; Bement Miles Co., 900; Harrington Machine company 125; Newton Machine shop 320; lace cur tain operators 600; Cramps ship yards, heater boys 150. Figures Are Disputed. Some of the above figures are dis puted by the city authorities and large employers. The Baldwin Locomotive works declare that only one-third of the number of men, the union claims are on strike, quit work yesterday. Aided by recruits secured by its of ficials from many other cities, the Rapid Transit company today operated more cars than on any day since the strike was declared. The few attacks made on the new crews were not serious during the early hours and were confined to the outlying sections of the city where nearly all disturbances since the strike began have occurred. Trouble, however, may come today if the police and labor leaders clash over the proposed demonstration of strike sympathizers at the grounds of the Philadelphia National league baseball club. To the director of public safety's de cision that the proposed meeting would not be allowed to take place because it was in conflict with the proclamation, issued by the mayor forbidding all gatherings on the streets, the strikers' attorney replied that the police powir could not abolish the constitutional rights of citizens to peacefully assem ble for a lawful purpose. The baseball club is enlarging the seating capacity of the park and work on the Improvements was stopped when the general strike was inaugu rated. The management asked the union leaders to permit the contractor to continue his work and the permis sion was granted on condition that the club would let the strikers use the grounds for a mass meeting today. This was quickly agreed to and when the city authorities heard of it they de clared the meeting would not be per mitted to go on. Counsel for the strik ers insists that the ball park is the same as a hall as its grounds are in closed and the authorities have no right to stop the meeting. Break In the Ranks. The baseball management, realizing that the city authorities were in earn est in the declaration that the open air mass meeting would not be permitted today, decided not to give the strikers the use of the grounds unless permit ted by the police department. The call for a mass meeting has gone out, how ever, and a crowd of strikers and oth ers is expected to gather at the grounds which are at Broad street and Lehigh avenue, nr rly three miles from the center of the city. The general strike leaders declared today that 800 additional men have quit at the Baldwin Locomotive works. This, as usual, is disputed by the su perintendent of the works, who said that only 400 failed to report for work today. There was a big break in the ranks of the taxicab chauffeurs, who went out in sympathy with the trolley men. The three taxicab companies reported today that 115 out of a total of about 275 taxicab drivers have returned to work. The companies are making no attempts to fill the places of the strik ing chauffeurs. Action on State Wide Strike. Newcastle, Pa., March' 10. The committee appointed yesterday to de vise means of carrying into effect the resolution cal.ing for state and pos sibly country wide labor strike in the event that arbitration fails in the labor situation at Philadelphia, reported to the convention of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor here today. President Greenawalt of the state organization was authorized to call upon President Taft, Senator Penrose, Senator Oliver and Governor Stuart to use their best efforts to compel an arbitration of the carmen's strike with in ten days. The committee announced it had Is sued a request to all state local union organizations to call special sessions to vote on the question, of a state wide strike within 15 days and report the results by wire to President Green-await. STRIKERS TCRXED BACK. AVere Not Allowed to Assemble In the BaU Park. Philadelphia, Pa.. March 10. A crowd estimated at 10,000 persons went to the National league baseball park this afternoon despite the an nouncement to the effect that a mass meeting called by the general strike committee would not be permitted. There was no disorder of consequence in the vicinity of the park, the gates of which were kept closed. Trouble threatened, however, when it became definitely known that there was to be no meeting and the masses began to congregate on Broad street for the return towards the center of the city. At 1 o'clock the crowd filled Broad street for six blocks, north from Col umbia avenue. Just at that time C. O. Pratt, the leader of the striking carmen, with other leaders of the general strike rode up Broad street in an automobile. Way was made for the automobile and the crowd, cheering, fell in behind and marched to the park. There the marchers encountered a strong force of police, who began turning them back. Pratt and the carmen's counsel got as far as the ball' park gates in their machine and formally demanded ad mittance. When this was refused they entered a protest with the police and returned to the city followed by the crowd. BEST PLACE TO LIVE Food Prices Have Been Going Down Steadily in Panama. Washington, March 10. Just what can be done by the elimination of the middle-man in supplying the public with food is strikingly shown by the commissary price list, just published in the Canal Record. While the work on the Panama canal is progressing, the United States government is supply ing the laborers and the clerical forces on the isthmus with food purchased in the United States and distributed through the agency of the -canal com mission. The goods are bought in the open market in this country and are sold to the canal employes at cost price, plus the transportation charges and the expenses of distribution. Yet, in the face of rising markets in this country, the record shows a reduction in the price -of Jliirt of 73 kinds of grades of meat, pouttry and game. The reduction in the. prices of meat has been gradual, but consistent in the past year and porterhouse steak, which cost 29 cents a year ago, was reduced to 21 cents on February 1 of this year. The Americans on the isthmus, outside of the negroes and foreigners who are doing the laborers' work consume eggs of twice the value of their meat, and the price of these eggs, brought to the isthmus in cold storage and kept so, has declined from 50 cents in De cember 1908. to 36 cents in the middle of February of this year. BURIED UNDER BRICK. Five Killed and Seven Injured by Falling Walls. Pittsburg, Pa., March 10. A fifty foot brick wall, left standing in the ruins of a fire collapsed today, bury ing twenty workmen, killing five and probably fatally injuring seven more. Most of the victims were foreigners. Injured and dying men were dragged from under scantling and piles of brick and mortar. An hour dfter the accident two workmen were found Hlive but crush ed in a crevice between timbers and brick piles. Directing the efforts of the rescue party, one of the buried men asked for a chew of tobacco, which was handed to him between a crack in the piled up timbers. TAFT GOING AGAIN President Is Billed for Two Speeches In New York This Month. New York, March 10. President Taft will make his third visit in five weeks to this city on March 22, when he will come to make two addresses. The first will be before the American Peace and Arbitration league on I "Naval armament in its relation to tne preservation of peace."

Other speak ers at the political banquet will be Senator Depew, Representatives Par sons and Bennett and Collector of the Port Loeb. On May 9, President Taft will be at Passaic, N. J., where he is to make a speech. WAR ON A CORN TRUST. Mexican States Are Trying to Break TTp a Corner. Guadalajara. Mexico, March 10. War on the socalled haciendados corn trust is now being waged by the Guan ajaulo and Jalisco state governments which have ordered 1.300 bushels of American com shipped at once from the Pacific port of Manzanillo. This corn will be sold to the poor at cost by the state governments. In an ef fort to secure a higher price for the Mexican product the commission men and haciendados have secured a prac tical corner on the-market which the government is now trying to break. Seattle -Votes "Wet." Seattle, Wash., March 10. The ma jority of Hiram C. Gill, Republican candidate for mayor on a "wide-open town" platform, will probably be less than 2,000 over William H. Moore, Democrat. Gill swept the down town wards, but ran badly in the resident districts. HE OPPOSES BONDS Garfield Says Proposed $30, 000,000 Issue To Complete Irrigation Pro jects Is Unnecessary. THEY WERE CHUMMY. Letters Exchanged Between Ballinger and Himself Addressed "My Dear Jim" and "My Dear Dick." Washington, March 10. "I do not be lieve the $30,000,000 bond issue, recom mended by President Taft to congress is necessary for the proper forwarding of irrigation work In the west." This statement by James R. Garfield, former secretary of the interior. In tes tifying before the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating committee today greatly enlivened the hearing. Mr. Garfield said this in defense of the co-operative agreements he entered into with water power users' associations and Of the reclamation certificates he issued in evidence of work performed and which have come to be known as "Garfield currency." Mr. Garfield declared it was evident Attorney General Wickersham and President Taft did not have the prop;r facts before them when they reached opinions adverse to the legality of the reclamation certificates. The witness implied that Mr. Ballinger might have been responsible in this connection but he did not make an outright statement to that effect. Mr. Garfield took issue with Mr. Bal linger as to certain statements made by the latter in his report to President Taft regarding the various charges made against him. He said he could not recall any conference with Mr. Bal linger regarding the Cunningham coal claims, although Mr. Ballinger said he had immediately conferred with Mr. Garfield after Glavis' protest against the clear listing of the Alaskan claims. Makes an Admission. Mr. Garfield admitted that in urging general coal legislation by congress early in 1908, he had made the state ment that he was willing to condone fraudulent entries in Alaska provided the entrymen were compelled to pay an increased price for the land to the government. The examination of Mr. Garfield was taken up at the point where it was left off when the committee adjourned last Saturday. Mr. Garfield had just begun a detailed explanation of the four coal land bills which were introduced in congress during his term as secretary. He continued .his explanation at the opening of the session today. On these, bills Mr. Garfield said he and Mr. Ballinger, who then was com missioner of the land office, differed on the question as to whether proposed future- classification of coal lands in Alaska and an increase of price over $10, an acre should apply to locations already made and entered. The witness said Mr. Ballinger thought lands already entered should be allowed patent at the $10 an acre provided by the old law. This would have allowed the Cunningham claims to be paid for at that price. Questioned by Senator Sutherland, Mr. Garfield said he believed himself that as to locations "made in good faith the entrymen should have the right to the $10 price." Garfield Reads Letters. Mr. Garfield then read an exchange of letters between himself and Mr. Ballinger, after the latter had left the land office in April, 1908, and while the coal bills were still pending. Mr. Ballinger addressed Mr. Gar field as "My dear Jim" and the latter replied, "My dear Dick." Mr. Ballinger's letter was evidently called out by some criticism of his course before the committees of con gress and he detailed his position at some length, concluding with the statement that before leaving Wash ington he had talked with President Roosevelt about the whole matter and that the president had commend ed his action. In his reply to Mr. Ballinger, Sec retary Garfield urged him not to be disturbed about his position on the coal bills; that he had always under stood it and had told newspaper men there never had been any misunder standing. Mr. Garfield said he had never read Mr. Ballinger's testimony before the congressional committees however, until he had gone out of office. Senator Nelson questioned the wit ness closely as to a statement that Ballinger had been in error in stating Mr. Garfield's position as to the Alaska coal bills. Mr. Garfield said his recommendations cited by Mr. Ballinger applied to a general coal bill and not to the Alaska measure. "But as a matter of fact didn't you say you were willing to condone fraud if the fraudulent claimants paid a higher price based on the classification of the coal," asked Senator Nelson. Willing to Condone Fraud. "The effect of the section which I recommend was that if the govern ment adopted a new policy as to coal deposits, there should be a validation of all entries at a new classified price. Up to 2,560 acres I was willing that claims should be consolidated and was willing to condone prior fraud." Mr. Garfield said the difference in the old price of $10 an acre and a classified price might prove to be a difference of between $25,000 and $500,000. Attorney Pepper read to the witness a portion of Secretary Ballinger's reply to the president concerning the charges against him, wherein Mr. Ballinger de clared that Mr. Garfield, who had written President Taft himself, had made no real effort tj learn the facts or to understand his position. He also said that Mr. Garfield had highly com mended his course while in the gov ernment servce and that he could only explain his change of spirit to the fact that his mind had been poisoned against him by misstatements. "Mr. Ballinger was in error," said Mr. Garfield. "I mad 3 every effort to obtain the facts before writing to the president." "Arkl Park" at La Junta. Attorney Pspper also read into the record an exchange of letters between Secretary BaUinger and Assistant Sec- retary Pierce In August last. It ap peared from these that Senator Gug genheim had asked to have certain lands at La Junta, Colo., set apart as an "arid park," the withdrawal to be made under the supervisory power as with water power sites. Mr. Ballinger directed that the withdrawal be made. "What is an 'arid park?' asked Senator Root. "I don't know." "Maybe it is the same as a dry town," suggested Representative Olm stead. Mr. Garfield next waa examined as to the plan he adopted of co-operating with water users' associations as to reclamation projects and the issuance by him of reclamation certificates which came to be known as "Garfield currency." The certificates were given as evi dences of work done on projects, the certificates to be turned in in pay ment of water charges when water was delivered on the land. Secretary Ballinger, acting under an opinion of Attorney General Wicker sham, stopped this practice. Opposed to Bond Issue. Mr. Garfield charged that neither Mr. Wickersham nor President Taft had the facts and complete informa tion before them on which to base a proper decision as to the certificates. The witness was asked If the $30,000,- 000 issue of bonds recommended by President Taft was not made necessary to relieve hardships growing out of the co-operative plan. He declared the proposed issue of bonds would cover a much wider field of reclamation than that begun under his administration of the Interior department. "In fact," declared Mr. Garnela, much to the surprise of the commit tee, "I don't believe it is necessary to Issue any bonds at all. "But aren t there hardships growing out of the present status of the pro ject?" asked Senator Sutherland. "In individual cases, yes: They re sult from failure on the part of entry men to appreciate the difficulties of developing irrigated lands and from their going on the land long before the projects could be completed and wa ter turned on. They were constantly warned against doing this and went at their own hazard. The government is not responsible for their plight." Mr. Garfield said he was not certain that a bond issue, as now proposed. would hurry up the projects to proper completion any faster than would be possible under the old way of raising funds by the sale of public lands. "Many of the projects are experi mental," said the witness, "and it is a serious question as to whether it would be wise to go faster than the sale or land allows. Physically, the projects could be completed at a much earlier date by a bond issue, but I doubt if it would decrease the cost." CITY RAILWAY PLANS. Question of Franchise Extension Vp Tonight. The street railway ordinance grant ing this company certain rights comes up before the city council tonight for consideration. For the benefit of the people who go and who might sit in the galleries and wonder what the council ia talking about without knowing sufficiently to discuss the matter, the following points will serve as a key to the situation: The ordinance asked for by the To peka Railway company asks: First That the company have the right to build tracks on Clay street between Tenth and Fourth avenues. Second To build on Buchanan street between Seventeenth and Twen ty-first street. Third To build on Fifteenth street between College avenue and Clay street. Fourth To build from North To peka to Shorey. Fifth To build switches and loops around the Federal building, the Un ion Pacific and the. Rock Island sta tions. The street railway people have ad vertised in the papers for a crowd to watch the results tonight. They ask that "the citizens of Topeka attend the council meeting to discuss the pending ordinance granting the com pany authority to extend and better its service and come and get the facts as set forth in the ordinance."

But Not Enough to Stop a Bank Run in Cleveland. Cleveland, O.. March 10. A run on the Society for Savings, which began yesterday was renewed this morning. Hundreds of depositors, while waiting to withdraw their savings, were held in a block-long line by a squad of po licemen. Thousands of persons, at tracted by the report of a run, throng ed the public square. When the bank opened today, the of ficers announced that there was on hand and ready for the depositors $6,539,606 in currency. Depositors are being paid oft as rap idly as they present their books. In addition to the available cash the bank has government and other bonds as security for loans to the value of $30,000,000 and it holds real estate se curity for loans amounting to $10,000. 000. The run was started by rumors origi nating in the oteign section of the city fc far its the officials are able to learn. Another theory was that, like a run on a Chicago bank it was started by thieves who expected to reap a rich harvest In the excited throng. HOGS UP 30 CENTS.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1910. BASEBALLGOSSIP. Isbell Will Play Wherever He Is Needed. May Take Pettlgrew's Place in the Field. HAS A GOOD START. Only One Holdout in the Whole Lineup. Catching Department Is Re garded as Strong. Isbell will play whatever position i left open on his team, according to .Wichita dope. If the Infield needs a man he may try it there and if the out field is lacking Pettigrew, who Js threatened with holdoutus, the old man will cavort in the gardens. Here is a sketch of the Wichita team written in IWichita, and it shows, more or less, how they feel in the Peerless Princess: Wichita Beacon: Not counting 'him eelf, Isbell's records show that he has a etroner on the following men for 1910: Pitchers Elder, Shackelford, Ensley, Hassler, Shaner. Caruthers, Langley, Fretter, Locke, Jarnigan and Boone, all of whom have signed contracts, and !Aitchison, Bohannon and Weller who have not registered. Catchers Shaw, Jokerst and Allen. Inflelders Miller, Hughes. White, IWesterzil, Reddiek, Rich and Reilley. Outfielders Middleton, Belden, Petti Brew and Stalb. Utility Knight. All but an even half dozen of these either have signed their contracts or agreed upon terms. Weller probably never will be seen in Wichita. Not a !word has been heard from him this spring. Bohannon and Pettigrew have sent back their contracts unsigned for the second time. Hughes is quibbling over transportation, but in all probability will be here at reporting time. Altch Ison has not answered since his con tract last was sent to him and Stalb lias asked that he be allowed to remain Jn the east another year. He has been ordered to show up by March 21 and to forward his contract at once. That is the lineup, with "Izzy" to play whatever position is found to be vacant. He may be found in the in field, or, should Pettigrew insist upon remaining out of the fold, the big boss may go to the outfield. The catching department is strong enough, and the chances are that there will be one man to sell there. In the pitching squad, Shackelford, Hassler, Aitchison, Shaner and Bohannon are men of known ability. All, with the exception possibly of Bohannon, should be better this year than they were last, for all are youngsters. The others are tryouts, but some of them come with exceptionally good recommendations. Jamigan is expected to make a place for himself in the regular lineup, while Langley, Elder, Caruthers and several of the others have been touted as com ers who are ready for the professional ranks. When it is remembered that "Red" Shackelford Jumped from the brush into the Western league at the close of the season and made good, one cannot tell what to expect from half a dozen youngsters as strongly recom mended as was he. A trade may yet be made which will give 'Izzy" another experienced pitcher. In the infield, there still is a place to be filled, at least until Reilley reports in June. Westerzil is reasonably sure of his job, though Miller, who will fight for the place, is said to be a promising youngster. White, in all probability. will be sold or traded. Hughes ;s counted upon for his old job at second and Isbell expects to play first. Red dick or Rich miv break into one of the infield positions, but they will have to show exceptional form, especially to re main after the big collegian reports. Still there always is a chance, and Hughes hasn't signed his contract yet. In the outfield, everything is satis factory. There are but four men on the list, and two of them are holding out. but there is littlf doubt but one of them will come through. Whichever one does, will fill out a pretty nifty outerworks, with Belden and Middle ton working on either side of him. There is no danger of weakness in that department. That is the prospect, and it doesn't look at all bad. "Izzy" isn't making Don't Wear A Truss Uter Thirty Tears Experience I Hm Produced an Appliance for Men. Women or Children Tbat Cures Rupture.

Old Timers Laugh at New Santa Fe Schedules. Say That Old Time Was Better Than the New. TRAINS ARE HEAVY New Equipment and Congested Traffic Hurt Speed. Other Items of General Interest in Railroad Circles. "Speaking about speed," said a Santa Fe railroad man the other day, "why, if the California Limited, with its present schedule, had been carded eight or nine years ago. nearly every thing on the road would have run around it." says a San Bernardino pa per And from the figures cited such would have been the case, according to the old timers. Santa Fe men during the past few weeks, since the announcement that the time of the limited was to be cut three hours and a half, have been much interested In the speed question and records of a decade back have been dug up and quoted by the old timers. Santa Fe men laugh at the published statement m a. Los Angeles raper that the Southern Pacific claim ed the former road couldn't make the time. In the days a decade back it was a common thing, say the veterans, for passenger trains to make the run over the division, from Barstow to Los An geles, in four hours. The schedule time of the limited is now five hours and it Is indeed a rare occurrence when the four-hour mark is reached. Freight trains, in years past, have been known to make the run from Los Angeles to San Bernardino In an hour and a quarter. Despite the monster locomotives that have been built of recent years, the statement is made that the motive pow er has not kept pace with the advance of other equipment. The trains are now vastly heavier, due to steel fram ed cars and increase in size, than those of eight or ten years ago. The modern locomotives are greatly more powerful than the engines of former days, "out the trains of the past, pulled by engines that now resemble "tea pots" along the side the present giants I'-ade better time than the palatial trains of today, it is alleged. The effcrts of the mechanical de partment to establish records in keep ing engines out of the shop for as long a time as possible has been at a sacrifice of speed, it is claimed. The engineers, anxious to conform with the demands from the mechanical depart ment will not work their engines to make speed at a damage to the engine. The man in a cab or an engine is i nder two fires.

The Judgment of the circuit court or Kanawha county en tered by Judge Burdett in June, 1908 declaring the law unconstitutional and confiscatory and restraining the attor ney general and others from enforc ing the provisions of the law against the Coal and Coke railway is reversed in so far as it declares the law un constitutional on the face and modi- fled and affirmed in so far as it de c!ares the law confiscatory as to the Coal and Coke. Judge Williams dissented, holding tne law unconstitutional on its face. Judge Brannon dissented as to the penalty clause of-the statute, holding the penalty so great as to be in con flict with the state and federal consti tutions. TWO-CENT FARE BIAHES MONEY Gain of $440,356 Over Last Tear in State of Iowa. Des Moines. March 10. Despite the operations of the two-cent fare law, the net earnings of the railroads in Iowa gained a total of $440,356 In 19U9 over the net earnings during the year 1908. These figures are shown by tne annual report of the state railroad commission, which is now in course of preparation. In 1909 the net earn ings of the railroads were $18,697, 607.70, while in 1908 the net earnings amounted to $18,257,251.62. In 1909 it cost the railroads of Iowa $1,182,850 more to operate their rail roads than it did the year previous. but the revenues for 1909 were $1,608,- 809.14 more than they were the pre vious year. The increased expense is due to the fact that more equipment was reeoea to handle the business in 1909 than in 1908. and this additional easiness was sufficient to make the in crease in revenues proportionately larger than the increase in expenses. in tnis connection it should be borne in mind that the cost of steel and oilier materialised in the building of the equipment increased somewhat during the year, so that all the facts taken together show that there was a very material increase in the volume of railroad business. done In Iowa dur- !r.g ths year 1909."-.

Yes, there was a time when I could hardly bear to look at myself in the glass," said a well known society beauty. "I was hideous and I knew it and my friends knew it, even if they said noth ing to me. "I don't care whether it's just a few stray hairs or a full fledged mustache, hair on a woman's face will spoil her beauty. That's all there Is to that. I know. Of course I tried the electric needle and all the other remedies I ever heard of. And, of course, the hair came back. It always will with such remedies. They don't kill the hair. They just burn it off the surface and stimulate the roots. Sometimes I just couldn't bear to face anybody with that horrible growth on my face and arms. I was about to give up in despair, when some friend sent me a bot tle of Electro-la. I hadn't faith in the remedy before I used It, but it took just one treatment to convince me. The way that hair came off was a marvel and no matter how long I left the remedy on It would not burn or smart. That's the se cret of its success. You can leave it on long enough to reach the roots and kill the hair and a cure with Elec-tro-la is a cure that lasts. See, my face is as soft and smooth as a little child's and it's been months since I cured myself. If you don't believe this, just try Elec-tro-la and see."

Eminent Eastern Soloists From New York and Chicago. Chorus Consists of 565 Voices Directed by Earl Roenburg. The complete program for the com ing renditions of the "Messiah" or, what is more commonly known as Messiah" week at Lindsborg, March 0 to 27, has been published. Never be fore in the history of the college, has such an elaborate program been at tempted. This year the seventy-sixth, seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth renditions of Handel's famous oratorio w ill be given. During the week there will be nine teen miscellaneous concerts and re citals. The soloists secured are artists of national reputation. In addition, the nineteen music teachers take part. They are assisted by the oratorio chorus, children's chorus and chapel choir. The soloists engaged are Mme. Ragna Linne, soprano, Chicago; Mme Frieda Iagendorff of New York, contralto; Mr. Garnett Hedge, Chicago, tenor; Mr. Henry Edward Mallory of Lindsborg, baritone. The chorus this year consists of 565 voices and is directed by Earl Rosen berg. The orchestra consists of fifty pieces and is directed by Mr. Malloy. Hagbard Brase is organist and Mabel Woodbury concertmeister. Hjalmar "Wettstrom is in charge of the band. Miss Frances Agrelius, a soprano of Bethany, will assist at the concerts. The oratorio of the Messiah divided into three parts, as follows: Part 1: The longing of the world for the Messiah, the universal Savior, prophesies His coming and announces His birth. Part 2: Devoted to the sufferings, death and exaltation of Christ, and develops the spread and ultimate triumph of the gospel.

Items of Interest Gathered by State Journal Correspondent. Jennings. Kan., March 10. The Jennings Echo is always saying good things for the town. Here is his la test: "Traveling men that come to Jennings remark that we have a very pretty town. Yes. we have a pretty town, and by the number of traveling men that come here regularly we know we have a business town. But this, is not the only indication. Every thing is on the move. Many things attest the prosperity of our town. With her trade, her churches, scnools ana cultured population we have a first class town in which to live." A Cawker City man resigned his place as cashier of a bank and has gone into the auto business. He claims there is more money selling autos than in banking. The traveling man can always find a good live, progressive town. The Hays City Free Press says: With the coming of spring our town is overrun with traveling men representing most everything under the sun. Besides a public meeting has been called to or ganize a Commercial club. Ed Kerns of Oakley, former mem ber of the legislature from Logan county, believes he sees a bonanza in the newspaper world, and will start the second paper in his town. There isn't room for two papers in Oakley, and the Graphic is so thoroughly en trenched that it seems only starvation for a second newspaper. The Graphic has been publishing a splendid jour nal for Oakley and Logan county. Cheyenne county voted bonds to aid the Gulf Northwestern $2,000 a mile to build through the county by a majority of 138. Total vote was 882, or 510 for, 372 against. It is said that Geo. L. Hudkins, the. Cawker City automobile man, is a" better advertiser in the papers in his section of the state than are the poli ticians. One thing about Hudkins the printers like is that he gives them libera advertising patronage, and al ways encloses good pay for the space. Stockton is expected to entertain 5.000 Modern Woodmen, April 6, as the semi-annual meeting of all the M. W. A. camps of Rooks county will be held there. Head Consul Talbott of Nebraska, and E. E. Murphy of Leavenworth, one of the head nation al directors, will be present. The semi-annual reunion of Mitch ell county old soldiers will be held in Beloit, April 30. It isn't known for certain how many Republicans in Rooks county want office this year. So far only 14 have announced their candidacy in the Plainville Gazette and several others will later on. TRAVELING MAN'S IMPRESSION. Says There Is Nothing on Earth the Matter With Wheat. Lawrence. Kan., March 10. In these days of constant depressing talk about the high cost of living and the many rumors heard.. about the -wheat being ruined, it sounds good to hear a real optimist talk and one who knows what he is talking about. Bert Brown, a well known traveling man, said this morning: "There is nothing on earth the mat ter with the wheat. All this talk about all kinds of bugs, the chinch bug and all that, is rot, for the wheat hasn't been affected. I have been in at least a dozen fields myself and pulled up the wheat to see if it were affected at all. but it isn't. The wheat is all right and these stories don't amount to a thing." Certainly that Is good news and as Mr. Brown travels almost constantly he should know whereof he speaks. The wheat is all right and that means much, it means a great deal for Kan sas. DAIRY FARM AT BELLEVILLE. C. F. Daggett Is Getting Pointers and Ideas From Manhattan. Belleville, Kan., March 10. Belle ville is to have a dairy farm made un der the plans and directions of the col lege. C. F. Daggett of that place has been in Manhattan the past few days getting pointers and ideas from the college for the farm which he intends to operate, says the Manhattan Na tionalist. Mr. Daggett owns the creamery at Belleville and has recent ly purchased some land next to the creamery which he intends to divert Stops Neuralgia Pains HERE'S THE PROOF. into a dairy farm. Mr. Daggett has made arrangements with the college for the latter to furnish all of the plans ror tne buildings and to advise him an through the work. The college will also test his herd of cattle for tuber culosis. The herd numbers about fifty head. NO DOUBT ABOUT HIS DEATH. Charles Kathary on Tug Nina Given Up for Lost. Salina, Kan., March 10. That Chas. Kathary, quartermaster of the United States naval tug Nina is dead, is prac tically certain now. Charles Kathary is a brother of George Kathary, pro prietor of Kathary's restaurant on North Ninth street. The tug was first reported missing three weeks ago. It was at that time long over due. A score of vessels searched the seas for weeks, but noth ing of the missing Nina was ever learned. Thirty-two were drowned. Charles Kathary lived at Hutchin son. His father, C. J. Kathary, is a shoemaker there. His brother, George Kathary came to Salina half a dozen years ago. And now it is believed that Charles Kathary lost his life because of a de lay in the arrival of W. G. Gehardt, the real quartermaster of the Nina. Kathary held that position aboard the Franklin but was taking Gehardt's place temporarily. Gehardt had been off the tug on shore leave and fell asleep in a ferry boat. When he awoke, he rushed to the training ship, but she had gone with Kathary taking Gehardt's place. Kathary had been called from the Franklin when it was found that Ge hardt was not in readiness. The day before the ship sailed, Ge hardt had notified the commander that the Nina was unseaworthy, but the commander replied haughtily: "Go about your business; I'm running this ship." While in a prison, awaiting punish ment for being late, Gehardt learned that the Nina had gone down. He cried like a baby at the thought that tnrougn his fault, another had gone to the bottom of the sea. That other was Charles Kathary. That was three long weeks ago and nothing has yet been heard of the Nina. The navy department long ago aDanaonea the search. HIGHWAY ROBBER IN DRESDEN. Decatur County Boasts of a Champion Corn Husker. Dresden, Kan., March 10.

His name is Bert Vernon, and he lives in Kanona. He claims that he averaged 106 bushels of corn a day for six days. Sheridan cour.ty has been claiming the championship for a number of years, but the medal will hpve.to go to the Decatur county corn shucker. The Oberliri Times tr.rows this Drettv bouquet at one of Decatur county's citizens: "Our long time friend, C. A, McCartney, was in our city last week, Carlisle is an old timer in Decatur county and stood by the guns when the chinch bug. grasshopper and drouth were invading the county. He is a hustler at anything he undertakes, and the best thing that can be said of man can be said of him. He is always loyal and true as a friend at all times and under all circumstances. Several residences are under way In Quinter. There is a scarcity of houses for her Increasing population. ICE FACTORY FOR LINDSBORG. Contract Has Been Let for Complete 10-Ton Plant. Lindsborg. Kan.. March 10. The Lindsborg Alfalfa Milling company let a contract Tuesday for a complete 10 ton ice plant to the Creamery Pack age Manufacturing company of De Kalb, 111. The contract calls for a complete equipment, including a new engine. At first It was intended to use the power now being used for the mill for the ice plant also, but this idea did not meet with general approval. The machinery is to be here by April 1 and the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible. The ice plant is something this town has needed for a long time and now that it is here it should be given all possible support. AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY. Will Take Over Union Pacific Business, Succeeding Pacific Express. Salina, Kan.. March 10.

R. YOUNG WANTS POSTOFFICE. Business Men of Logan Will Organize Commercial Club. Oakley. Kan., March 10. J. R. Young of the' Graphic thinks that he has printed so much good stuff for Oakley that lie deserves better than keeping his nose in the space box for ever, and he has asked for the ap pointment of postmaster of his town. The business men of Logan will or ganize a commercial club. There is every reason why the town should have a club. The neople of Logan have al ways been doing things. It is the only town that has had s trotting steer which gave Logan fame all over the country. It has a modern opera house, a modern hotel, and her business men occupy substantial brick and cement buildings. The town has a flouring mill, a city hall, several churches, a fine school house, besides It Is the home of a congressman. It has elevators, two newspapers and two banks. Logan can't afford to be without a live, rust ling commercial club. THE FARMER'S BIG PROFIT. Got $100 for Two Hogs Record Price a In Kansas for Butchering. Horton, Kan., March 10. The Hor ton Commercial tells of a Kansas farm er vvho sold two hogs to the butcher for an even $100, what was once con sidered a fair price for an average team of horses. The hogs in question weighed a fraction over 1,282 pounds, or an average of 641 Dounds each. The butcher paid $7.80 a hundred for them, so that the farmer received a check for S100. This is, perhaps, the high est price ever paid in Kansas for two hogs for butchering purposes. Fine pedigreed stuff may have brought more for breeding purposes, but the two hogs in question were sold for meat and not for breeding. The two hogs were brood sows, of the Red Duroc breed uid were four years old. The farmer who owned them had raised six litters of pigs from each of them before he had taken them to the market, two litters each for three years. Some idea of the profit in hog raising can be had from the experience of this Kansai farmer A good aver age horse will not bring more than $100 today, and it has not been many years since a team could be purchased for that sum. In line with this hog story is the report of a carload of steers sold on the Chicago market for more than $160 a nead. PUSHING SANTA FE TRAIL. Kinsley Visitors Taken Over Sand Hills in Motor Cars. Kinsley, Kan., March 10. The ex ecutive and publicity committees of the new Santa e Trail association are in session here. Each committee is fully represented and the members are en thusiastic. President Faxon's address showed that the work of the trail association is attracting widespread attention and that the work is being pushed in the counties traversed by the trail. Re ports showing what has already been accomplished and what is planned for the future were made. In many cases it was reported the people living along the trail are doing the road building at their own expense. After luncheon the visitors were taken in'motcrs over the famous sand hills hard roads built of gypsum clay and sand at an expense of only $300 a mile. These roads have been in use about eighteen years and are main tained at very little cost. They are as hard and smooth as Kansas City boule vards. After Inspecting these roads the members met again at the theater and listened to Mr. Gearhart, the state highway engineer, who gave an in structive talk on road building in this part of Kansas.

The rural route carrier has proved a stronger feature for better roads in this vicinity than any good roads con vention. Within the last week at least three Atchison rural carriers have is sued ultimatums that the service would be discontinued unless the roads were Good Time Now to see what a good staying' breakfast can be made without high-priced Meat Try A Little Fruit, Saucer of Grape Nuts and Cream, A Sof t-Boiled Egg, Some Nice, Crisp Toast, Cup of well-made Postum.

MORE ARRESTS MADE. Gus Thomas Confesses Details of Bork Killing Near Frontenac. Leavenworth, Kan., March 10. Gus Thomas, alias Young, the negro who recently confessed to several murders in the Pittsburg, Kansas, district and was rushed to the state prison here after a night trial, late yesterday add- ea details to his narrative of crimes. In his confession yesterday, made to (jrawrord county officials at the prison, Xhomas denied killine William Bork, wife and child to which crime he once confessed.

Charles is now in Jail at Fort Scott, Kansas, havins been hurried around for safe keeping at the time of Thomas arrest. Upon the advice of officials Park3 was arrested in Pitts burg last night. "I met Fred Parks the morning after the killing, November 6, 1909," said Thomas. "He said he and Charles were drunk the night before and he had killed the 3orks. They had my gun;' just as soon as they got close to tne buggy in which the Borks rode they shot twice at the occupants. They snot Bork until his body fell out of the buggy. They did not know there was a baby in the rig until they found the child dead. I heard nc details regard ing the shooting of the woman. Charles said they go $36 from the man, but Parks denied this, averring they ob tained but a little change. I had noth ing whatever to do with the shooting." Thomas repeated hio story of the killing of a negro named Jim White near Pittsburg. He said Ed Charles aided him in this. Thomas also named Riley Bradshaw, a Pittsburg negro, in telling of some minor crimes. Officers at Pittsburg are holding Bradshaw. TO AVENGE ATTEMPTED ASSAULT High School Students Join Sheriffs Fosse to Find Negro. Kansas City, Kan., March 10. De termined to avenge an attempted as sault made on Miss Cora Downs, 17 years old, by ah unidentified negro yesterday in "Kansas City, Kansas, fifty high school students, classmates of the girl, joined a sheriff's posse in a search for the fugitive last night. Many of the students are armed. They declare they will deal summarily with the negro if he is caught. Miss Downs is a member of a prominent family. Her grandmother is Mrs. Cora M. Stockton, a noted Kansas writer, who assisted Mrs. Potter Palmer in conducting the women's department at the Chicago World's fair in 1896. Mrs. Stockton is seriously ill at a hospital and it is thought the shock caused by hearing of her grandchild's experience may prove fatal. Miss Downs was returning home from school through a cut recently when she was attacked. The negro threw her to the ground and tore her clothing. She screamed, frightening him away before he had injured her. He dropped his overcoat which may prove a clue to his identity. Miss Downs gave the alarm and a band of citizens soon began searching for the assailant. A negro was cap tured and brought before Miss Downs. She could not identify him, so he was released. Rewards are offered for the assailant's arrest. HOGS UP S3 SINCE JANUARY 1. Bidding Was a ScramMo Double Prk-e of a Year Ago. Kansas City, March 10.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is received In The State Jour' rial building; over wires for this sole pur pose. If Kansas City, Mo., keeps up its present gait it frill soon be showing the dust even to Pittsburg. Pa. Strange thing happen occasionally. The Missouri Pacific has really begun the work of improving its lines In Kansas. That bill before congress which seeks to give) further protection to miners against waste and danger ought to pass with the unanimous vote) of botb houses. Harry Thaw has finally won a vie tory In the courts. But it only is to the extent of one of his omnivorous lawyers being enjoined from suing to collect a fee of some $60,000. The unreliability of the Or o rlvop is agala emphasized by the fact (hat one of the big steamboats which has been accustomed to Ply it has made a comfortable landing in a cornfield. It is the idea of the New Tork World that Cincinnati, with flood water twenty feet higher than ef fete Paris boasted, might well be pardoned for claiming to be the art center of the New World. Wichitans certainly did themselves proud in the entertainment they ac corded to the members of the Kansas State Editorial association. But that's a habit the people of Wichita have. They shine on all occasions. All those who believe that spirits from another world got away with the $2,000 that a couple of gullible doctors of Hutchinson placed on table during a seance should be com pelled to stand on their left ears for a week. Thirty-fceven persons were the vic tims of thin ice on the lakes and riv ers of New England during the past winter. That's a bigger death roll for merely one section of the country than the football field has rolled up for the whole country In two years. Why not abolish skating and oth-er ice sports? In all likelihood the women guests will la few and far between at the banquet whicn is to be given to President Taft in Chicago oi- March 17, by the Irish Fellowship club. An dlct has b en issued by tb3 comm't tee in charge of the affair that the women attending will not be permit ted to wear hats. It was almost unnecessary for J. Eads Hew. the millionaire hobo, to announce that the "unemployed" are affiliated with the labor unions to the extent that they will not apply for places made vacant by strikers. The unemployed of the hobo type won't apply for work under' any' and ell circumstances. Building work has started oft with such a rush in Topeka that it won't lie a great while now before there will be a scarcity of labor among skilled workers in the building trades. There are few cities in the country where the opportunities for many more ekilled laborers are greater than in Topeka. There are places for hundreds such in the Santa Fe shops right now. The supreme court of the United States has lately annulled two import ant orders promulgated by the inter state commerce commission, on the ground that it exceeded its authority in issuing them. Perhaps if the plans of President Taft for strengthening tha interstate commerce law are act ed upon favorably by congress, this commission will have the requisite authority to do something worth While before long. The general estimate of Boston ians will have to be revised. It ap pears that they spend millions of dol lars annually in the theaters of that city. And a considerable portion of the sum goes to the cheaper thea trical productions and moving picture shows. Many people have Had the idea that it took a production of a Shakespearian play without any stage settings, or something of that sort, to rouse enthusiasm among the cultured eaters of beans. The populace of Monaco, said to be the only absolute monarchy remain ing on the face of the globe, have- pe titioned their ruler- for the establish ment of a constitutional government. If their request is granted it will be difficult to creat such a government unless some folk from the outside are called in. The population of Monaco la only a trifle over 3,000 and that would not provide enough able-bodied men to fill half the office in a new and modern system of government. THE REAL ESTATE 51EX. From the size of the attendance and the fine enthusiasm manifested at the organizing convention of the Kansas Real Estate Dealers' association, now in session in this city, it is safe to predict that this new organization will develop the proportions it should and soon become one of the potent factors in furthering the interests of Kansas in a variety of ways. There was a time in the history of this state when its real estate dealers were not held in ex ceedingly high regard. They were at the bottom of those booms which proved so disastrous to the pocket- books of so many people. But that time is distinctly of the past. Today the real estate men of the state are among the most substantial and reli able citizens. In their several com munities there is no class of men who stand higher in, the esteem of their fellow men, and this despite the fact that the role of landlord or real estate agent is a difficult one to fill. There is a great opportunity, too, for the real estate men in this organiza tion thev have formed to do a monu mental work in the development of the state. Among other things, they propose to carry on a systematic cam paign of advertising the advantages of Kansas as an agricultural community and as a place where there are count less excellent cities for men to live and do business in. That is what Kansas has needed for a long time. States to the south and to the west of the land of the sunflower, through their real estate dealers have been carrying on active campaigns for the past few years now which have attracted thou- i sands of homeseekers to them. None of these states have anything of value j as agricultural centers or in other fields which Kansas has not. Indeed, Kansas has many advantages which would cause some of these other states to throw spasms of delight if they were only blessed with them. But be cause of the activity of the real estate dealers in these other states, many are the homeseekers which have passed Kansas by for no better reason than they were not acquainted with the fa cilities of this state. But all that will be changed before long. The real estate men are the ones to do the trick, and from the way they have started out with the new organization they have formed it is apparent they are going to accomplish their purposes. More power to their arms. Topeka has been the scone of several prominent conventions of late. None of them, however, have been more deserving of attention and hos pitality than this one of the real estate men. It is thrice welcome and the movement which it has started should be given all kinds of encouragement in every section of the state. EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES. Prompt and favorable attention should be given by the law makers of the state to the suggestion which will be made to them at the next session of the legislature urging legislation that will place fake employment agen cies under the ban. The state bureau of labor and industry is back of this project and it is a worthy one in every particular. In the annual report of this bureau nhich is now being com piled, W. A. L. Johnson, the commis sioner, has this to say on the subject: "The absence of any law governing or regulating' the operation of private employment agencies has resulted in the victimizing of a large number of laboring men both within and without the state by the misrepresentation of facts and illegal and dishonest collec tion of agency fees for alleged situa tions. This bureau has been impor tuned many times during the last year to intercede or to prosecute certain fake employment agencies. "The only recourse was for each in dividual sufferer to institute a civil suit for damages, which in their usual penniless condition they were unable to do. In the city of Topeka one in stance was noted where nearly two hundred men surrounded a socalled employcment agency clamoring for cither a situation or a return of a two' dollar fee, which they had paid. In vestigation developed that the tran sient employment agent had rented desk room and after advertising ex tensively and receiving his fees from the misguided men, had suddenly de camped." Instances of this kind have been all too common in Topeka and in other sections of the state. Honestly con ducted employment bureaus fill a much needed want In every community of any considerable size. Unfortunately, the number of honest ones Is out of all proportion to those which are dishon est and which are established from time to time for no other pufpose. A few of them are veritable dens of in iquity whose proprietors make a prac tice of luring girls and women to houses of evil resort under pretences of getting tlm decent places to work in. A law that will give either .state or local authorities the necessary pow er to deal with dishonest employment agencies should have a place among the Kansas statutes. EDUCATIONAL REFORM. That the agitation which has been started in Topeka for a reform of ed ucational methods in the public schools is not a local one is apparent to any one who has the opportunity of looking over the newspapers pub lished in various sections of the country. It is rather unusual to pick up one of them these days which does not devote some space to the ideas of prominent educators or editorial com ment on the subject. The charge seems to be pretty general through out the land that the elementary schools, the high schools included, are falling far short of desired standards in equipping their graduates with a thorough schooling in the rudimen tary branches of study. And that is cne of the chief complaints against the schools of Topeka. Under a caption "Need for Educa- tiona Reform" the Christian' Scieneo Monitor, the daily newspaper publish- ed in Boston under the auspices of the Christian Science church, discuss ed this subject editorially the other day as follows "The attention of President Taft was called recently to the failure of the applicants for admission to West Point and Annapolis by Represen tative Champ Clark of Missouri, who said the young men had been lack lag in information on rudimentary subjects, in an address the president referred to this and expressed the be lief that the ambition of school su perintendenta throughout the coun try, who have charge of primary and secondary education, has led us into a neglect of thoroughness that we ought to reform. He said it was true that applicants for admission to West Point and Annapolis had fallen short in many instances on subjects that ev ery schoolboy ought to know. They could not spell and wers deficient in other rudimentary branches. "Lack of thoroughness in elemen tary Instruction handicaps a pupil in all succeeding studies and courses. Nothing 1b more important than that a good foundation should be laid In the early undertakings. Then a, strong structure may bo built up. ons whose walls will not crumble when the tests come later. Trouble often originates in tha attempts of school boards to introduce too many subjects. Time enough for perfection cannot be giv en by the pupils to the subjects that are most important. Consequently, the pupils pass along without any fix ed or definite knowledge of facts or principles involved. They stumble ov er what follows, whereas, had they been thoroughly instructed, their way would have been rendered smooth and easily pursued. Conscientious educa tors cannot fail to recognize that fact that it is essential to pay closer at tention to the simple but important elementary branches, to the end that they shall be really, mastered JOVRNAl ENTRIES The unt'ndtet cuts of all generally come from friends.

FROM OTHER PENS GYROSCOPE CLAIMS. After a careful consideration of both tho advantages and the disadvantages incidental to the use on a single-rail line of gyroscopic cars. The Scientific American comes to the conclusion that, ingenious and scientifically sound as the system is, its success as a substitute for that by which freight and passen gers are moved will probably be at best a limited one. What the new cars. It says, would save as to weight by decreased num ber of wheels they would lose by the enforced tarrying of the gyroscope it self, and as the latter would have to be extremely well made, the cost of the cars would not be decreased. There would be a saving by the eli mination of one line of rails, but the one remaining would probably be as expensive as two are now, and it would necessitate expensive changes in road bed and bridges by the concentration of train weight that is now divided. So far as the passengers were concerned, their comfort, especially in going around curves, would be much in creased by the change to the gyroscope cars, but that present speeds could be doubled with safety and economy. The Scientific American much doubts. The only Immediate utility of the monorail, gyroscope railroad seen by this au thority is for pioneer lines through un developed country, especially in moun tainous and hilly regions, where many and sharp curves were necessary.

Recently the suggestion has been made that the Vatican is desirous ot establishin- formal diplomatic relations with this country. Impossible as such a thing must be the very suggestion of it may be entirely Irresponsible it is none the less expressive of the cordial and frank spirit that exists between administrative heads of the Catholic church and this government. To what is this spirit a,ttibutable if not to men like Cardinal Satolii and President Taft? So far as the Catholic church is concerned, it is not improbably due to Cardinal Satolii the first apostolic delegate to the United State more than to any other man. Cardinal Satolii improved bis oppor tunities to create a sentiment of friend iiness between this country and the church. Sortie things that he let drop would indicate that this was not en tirely diplomacy on his part that he had a r- affection for many Amen cans and a genuine admiration for their institutions.

A recent statement reported to have been made by him would indicate that this was tm case, m any case ne mus have suggested to many a native-born American priest and prelate how the church and the state could be served through the same ministrations. It is because the Catholic hierarchy has ptudied carefully the spirit of certain American institutions that without subscribing to all of them notably to the public schools it is accounted in many parts of this country one of the strongest bulwarks of order and good government, while its communicants are regardd as among the very best Citizens.

There are grave difficulties in the way of that, he admits, and he does not expect it to come in our day. if ever.

New York Times, Collectors of Specimens for Naturalists Students of tho Crustacea often nna the cod a useful assistant collector. Thus the circular crab seems to be a favorite food of cods and rays and it was chiefly from the stomachs of these nsh that some or tne oiaer nat uralists obtained specimens. Another hunting ground of the nat uralist is the sailing ship which has been in foreign ports. In this way Dr. Clark has been able to add a tiny Chilian crab to the Cornish Crustacea. It was obtained by Vallentin on the sides of a bark from Patagonia in a coating of seaweed and barnacles. The crab itself may become a col lector of specimens for the zoologist, for it is often covered with various species of sponges, hydroids, and bry ozoa. Sometimes the species found thus are such as are not easily ob tainable otherwise. One species of crab, indeed (mala squinado), is re garded in Cornwall as the provider of material for the naturalist. The Zoologist. How He Knew.

The mercury registered zero. An arctic wind drove lances of snow, fine and stinging as sand, before it. Detectives Mooney and McGill, of the Central station, with overcoat collars turned up, stood guard on the Cush way home with what patience- they could muster; Mooney watohed the front of the house; McGill tramped through a foot of snow in the alley in rear. Both cursed with great fluency and persistence, anathematizing Cushway, Hammond and the Rev. M. Monckton Impartially. Except for a few hours' respite during the previous night they had been on watch constantly for more than thirty hours. Neither Hammond nor. Monckton had attempted to visit the Cushway home: nor. in fact, had any one else, McGill found it livelier in the alley. especially the second day. Delivery wagons plowed their way through the drifts. An olive-Bkinned peddler. with a huge pack of fabrics which he earnestly and untruthfully declared to have been smuggled from Persia, went from back door to back door tempting the maids with his gaudy display. The gasman was the first to enter Cushway's by way of the alley that af ternoon. He was followed presently by a plumber with his kit of tools, a smudge of grease and four days, growth of beard adorning his face. A broad-shouldered grocer a boy, muf fled to the eyes, puffed in with a basket- The plumber, as usual, had for gotten important tools, and went back to his shop for them. He borrowed a match from McGill on his way out. Returning presently, he paused for few moments to chat with the watcher. Hungry for human compan ionship. McGill guardedly explained his vigil. Also he ventured the as sertion tnat "old man Cushway must have a pull like a four-horse team, or the chief wouldn't be standing for such monkey business aa this." Shortly after 4 o'clock Cushway's carriage drew up to the house. He grinned with satisfaction at sight of the watchers, for their presence proved Hammond had not -entured to call. On being dismissed with a generous tip. they left. The man servant took Cushway' bag. and the magnate walked spring-, ily up tho steps. At the" door of tha library he stopped, paralyzed; for there, awaiting his coming, were hirf placid wife and pretty daughter, hi -itow mo you two get in nt! ut- mandea cushway, "Walked in, sir; Mr. Monckton and I were strong for theatricals In college, and we thought we could disguise our selves and fool tho detectives. He made up as ths grocer's man, and I posed as the plumber. And here wo are, sir." Mr. Cushway was noted for his vio lent and uncertain temper. But now he showed that he bad a sense of th fitness of things as well. He realized, under the extraordinary circumstance, the utter inadequacy of flying into a rage. "I suppose you are married?" ho asked, quite mildly. "No sir," replied Hammond, "not yet. We wanted to show thit wo could outwit detectives. But wo wouldn't take any unfair advantage of you. So we waited." His employer fixed him with a hostile eye. "I can't order you out," he grum bled, "for I've Just gotten control of Perkins' company, and I need you worse than ever." His glanee traveled over the expectant group. "Well," lie cried irascibly, "what's the use of sit ting around, staring like lunatics? Go ahead and get married, hang it!"

It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna can hope to get its beneficial effects, and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy, the full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package, and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substi tute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establish ment, where tney do not recommend, nor sell j iaise uiauus, uui iuuikiuuu iciueuies. i us genu- r.1; Ivm o-fila maw Ka Hiiio-hfr rf all rAlioKlo ?nirr gists everywhere;-one size only. price 50 cents per bottle.

A special to the Tribune from Washington says: American diplomats, army and navy officers, and other officials will not be al lowed to accept decorations from foreign frovernments so long as Senator Shelby Cullom of Illinois remains chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs, lie has called a halt on what he believes Is a desire to prefer foreign to domestic approval of their deeds. The foreign affairs committee decided that it will disapprove of all applications for authority to accept foreign decorations. It will approve the acceptance of gifts, provided they are trifles made by foreign potentates. A sub-committee, of which Senator Root is chairman, investigated the circumtances mirrounding requests made by more than 2iio officials for authority to accept for eign gifts and decorations; At the state department there are 'wagon loads of these mementoes which have been forwarded by foreign powers end are being held pending a grant of congressional authority to accept them. A bill will be introduced authorizing the acceptance of the gifts but the decora tions will be returned to the donors. Ouring the seven years that Senator Cullom has been chairman of the foreign relations committee, only two decorations have escaped him: One was the order of the Red Eagle, given by Emperor Wil liam of Germany to Rear Admiral Mc Calla for his conspicuous services In lead ing the allied troops to Pekin during the boxer trouble. The other was the Order of the Academy, awarded by France to C DeWitt Wilcox In recognition of a book he wrote on military science. The officials thus foiled In obtaining the foreign decorations may accept them after they have retired to private life. LIVE IRISH PAPER. 0rk Examiner Will Print Large Edi tion for Chicago. Chicago.

BLACK AVENGERS RULE Columbia Faculty Would Break Reign of Student Order. New York, March 10. The Black Avengers, a mysterious secret society, which has played an important part in undergraduate life at Columbia univer sity for more than 100 years, is In danger of being disbanded by the faculty. From time immemorial the Avengers have made life wellnigh un bearable for offending freshmen. The members of the society are sophomores elected by vote of the class at the begining of the college year. Their names are set down after gradu ation. The faculty has asked the stu dent board of control to take the mat ter of disciplining the avengers under consideration but it is not certain that the board will be able to deal with the case. It is thought by some that the Avengers may treat the student board members in a fairly sophomoric man ner if they attempt to exterminate the society. HOTELS IN BATTLE.

Sixteen-year-old Katherine Sexton of Madi son street, was walking one chilly day last month through Corlears Hook park ion the New York water front. The wind was blowing half a gale and Miss Sexton had difficulty in keeping her new large picture hat in place. Then came a stronger gust than usual and the filmy creation went sailing out of the park and landed in the East river. Arthur Monshan, a young mechan ic, was crossing the park at the psy chological moment. He gave a glance at the tearful girl and then at the floating headgear and discard ed his coat. Diving into the icy wat er he swam to the hat, rescued it and returned it to Miss Sexton. They were married today. OMR'S JHEE A LINIMENT FOR EXTERNAL USE.

Men Who Would Govern Sing Praises of Selves. EACH "JUAN OF HOUR." They Tell Toters of Many Re forms Stood For. Eaton Not a Press Agent Mayor Green Declares. Before an audience of about forty people, the majority of the candidates for office on the proposed city com mission made their first speeches of the campaign under the auspices of the committee of fifty at Lukens opera house on the North side last night. The addresses were limited to six minutes each. These were given by Mayor Green, who Is running for mayor on the commission form,- W. H. Kem per, who seeks the same office, and George A. Huron, Walter J. Arnold, O. D. Olden (colored), H. P. Miller, W. G. Tandy. John A. Alexander, T. X. Jones, E. P. Stanley, Roy L. Bone, A. A. Gra ham, Eugene B. Stotts, C. E. Jordan, D. B. Fink, J. J. Carter and Fred Roundtree, a negro, who are commis sionership candidates. These men will meet tonight at the city council cham ber with the subcommittee of the com mittee of fifty to outline a campaign to extend from now on until the election primaries are held March 28. Frank Curry, who acted as chairman, called the speakers In the order in which their names were drawn from a hat. By chance the name of Mr. Kem per, candidate for mayor, was first drawn. Mr. Green's name was drawn next. Kemper Optimistic. Mr. Kemper said in part: "Coming events cast their shadow before. As my name was drawn first, I hope it may be first when, the ballots are counted. I "If I am elected mayor I will try1 to secure a reduction of street car fare. In Atchison six fares are sold for 25 cents or 25 fares for $1. I understand from Kelley that a large number of people are riding on passes, besides the police and fire department. These de partment men are allowed to do so by the ordinance. I believe that by elimi nating all passes except those given the departments mentioned we may se cure the reduction in fares mentioned." Mr. Kemper also told how $20 was charged for a train to Garfield park or to Vinewood park, although the former place is not as far away from the city as the latter and said that the parks inside of the city should be given preference. In addition he promised that if elected he would make no dis tinction in dealing with North or South Topeka, saying that there were no two separate cities and there should be no dividing line between sections. Green Stands by Eaton. Mayctr Green reviewed his career, among other things defending Chief Eaton of the police department, saying that nnHir the latter's rule the police department was stricter disciplined and that the laws were Detxer eniurc than ever before; that Eaton had not v. io a ane-l'il figure or cress agent but had done the work for which he had been hired. Mr. ireen aiso ioiu that traps had often been set for Eaton v... hi.afl fnr tYt THirnnsfl. but he had proved faithful to his duties. He also mentioned me annum repui us -"-expenditure by the different city de nartmt which was one of the things he had inp igurated. As to the paving contracts he aeciarea mai wie wea.i.iii had been against the contracts. Mr. -iAAn aiOA tnii How Vi c wa.t a target for criticism no matter what was done. Judge Huron Talks. George Hufn said that he expected 1 nnmmfRslrtnPrl WOUld have their hands full and that he expected to devote all or nis lime 10 me uuura office, if elected; that he would get rid of his law business afterwards as .soon as possible. John A. Alexander promised to put ir all of his time in the duties of his office if elected and would make no dis tinction as to locality in dealing with public needs. For Park Extensions. T X. Jones said that Mr. Farnsworth who was getting old. had proposed do nating his 12 acre tract west of the Con tinental creamery for a city park ex tension. Mr. Jones also proposed tak ing in the Lakin and Ward tract for he same purpose. He said he would work day and night to keep his office l. .nnarji "Ha also nranosed a boulevard from the Melan bridge to the Rock Island Dnage aious me side dike. After the meeting he said that M. A. Low, general attorney for the Ro:k Island, had told him he would ste that piling was placed on the south side of the Kansas river along the city nark to the Rock Island bridge, if trash would bo dumped there, in order to make now ground for park exten- "e! F. Stanley said that the great bus iness of the commission would be to "nick up loose ends." and his policy would be to do this. He also proposed another slogan for the North side: "Watch Ward One Win. Walter J. Arnold called attention to Us several jars' experience as a municipal engineer, said he would like a place as engineer on the commission and that he would give all of his time to that duty if elected. An TTncaught Goat. Eugene B. Stotts said that If elected he would look squarely at every proposition- that the commissioners would have duties to perform which would be new to every one and on that account he would make no promises. He also aid that he saw no reason why "Stotts shouldn't run." that "Stotts" was all right and would make as good a com missioner as anv of them, and that he wasn't going to sing any song of praise (v.- atntts ah to his record, he referred peopie to his acquaintances among the Topeka business men and also told that he belongs to the great army of "uncaught goats." Answered City's Advertisement. T o I 1 t Vl irlpa that no JU. 1 1 the city of Topeka. a business corpora tion had advertised tor five men to run its business. He was answering that advertisement and if he got the job he would attend to it like he would his own business.' A -A. Graham mentioned his study of finance and said he felt qualified to attend to the duties of finance and revenue commissioner. C E. Jordan favored a rigid inspec tion of the public improvements so that people might know for what their money was being spent. He also said that the commissioner would have no "soft cushion jobs" and that people would know all of tha time what was done and not done. Feared an' Aristocracy. D. B.- Fink said that he had been criticised for running after he, had op posed the commission' form. He. told that he had voted against it because he had feared that it would take the power from the hand? of the common people; for that very reason he thought tnat some laboring man should be on the commission, so that it wouldn't run to aristocracy. If he is elected he declared that he would work early and late and not stand on the street corners. He also said he had done all he could to further the extension of Melan bridge. J. J. Carter said that he would try if elected to run the city on a business basis and favored good wages for city employes, but that the latter should earn their money. H. P. Miller referred to his record as councilman and said that he would endeavor to continue tt do his duty if eiectea commissioner. W. G. Tandy said that to Dave 65 block in one summer was going too last ana tnat tne amount should be cut down. Two Xegro Candidates. Fred Roundtree, a negro, began by saying that he was the "dark horse of the campaign, but- he hoped the "dark horse" would win the race. He advocates pure citv water, extension of the fire protection system and other reforms. G. D. Alden, a negrot said that he was probably "the nigger in the wood' pile." He took as his slogan, "No taxation without representation." SVOPES FALL OUT. Wife of Dr. Hyde Refuses to See Her Mother. Kansas City, Mo March 10.

DOUBLE BACK SOMERSAULT. It Is Accomplished by Two New York Boys. New Tork, March 10. The feat of turning a double back somersault, which attracted considerable attention when accomplished a few days ago by a Kansas City circus man, has been repeated here by two high school boys in the Columbia gymnasium. The first boy to try the stunt was Albert Quinn, 16 years old, who comes from the Jersey City high school. He is five feet tall and weighs 135 pounds. He Cid the trick two or three times with a leather safety belt and other ap paratus and then succeeded in accom plishing the feat unaided. The other boy who did the trick equally well is Edward Mills of Pratt Institute, Brook lyn. Teachers' Lecture Course.

The lluggins Suggestion Has Been Dropped. CAUSE OF BKEACH. Said to Be Dawson's Attitude at Kansas Day Club. Effort Still Being Made to Find a Candidate. While all the square deal leaders hasten to emphatically deny the story of the plan to bring out William Hug gins for attorney general against John Dawson, yet it is a fact, nevertheless, that .these leaders have been figuring on some candidate for that place and Huggins was considered at one time. They dropped Huggins like a hot shot when they found that he was the Santa Fe attorney at Emporia. The report of the Huggins candidacy had reached John Dawson several days ago and while on his way to Wichita this week to the meeting of the editors John asked Huggins about the matter. The latter denied the allegation. William Allen White denies it, too, and so does Governor Stubbs and At torney General Jackson. But none of these distinguished gentlemen go so far as to declare that there is no rupture between the governor and Mr. Dawson. The origin, of this trouble is not known for certain, but it is reported that the governor did not like the idea of Daw son having friends in both factions of the party. His excellency thought that John was a little lukewarm on the day of the Kansas Day battle and defeat. Jackson acted the part of Marshal Ney at this Waterloo, and the governor thought that John should have played the part of Cambronne. But John, like Blucher, took no part in the battle. The trouble between Dawson and George Neeley had nothing to do with the rupture between John and the gov ernor. The governor is not taking sides in this squabble, but will let the, dis putants fight It out. While It may be true that the Hug gins candidacy for attorney general against Dawson has been dropped, yet it is a fact that square deal leaders have not yet abandoned the plan of bringing out a candidate against Daw son. The plan may fail from lack of available material to successfully cope with the Scotchman, but such a plan has been considered. Again it may be that the governor and John Dawson may settle their differences and smoke the pipe of peace as of yore. This last alternative would be the best for all parties concerned. Carr Taylor of Hutchinson has been suggested. J. C. Ruppenthal of Russell county, judge of the Twenty-third Judicial dis trict, has announced his candidacy for re-election. Judge Ruppenthal is a Democrat, but was elected four -years ago to his present office. He has made a fine record and -will make a strong race on that foundation. In making his announcement the judge speaks of the relation between partisan politics and the courts as follows; ''The judsresM--is an office which the best minds in all ages have sought to remove f rr-m party strife. But the con ditions detailed, force me, in a way, to become a partisan candidate. On al most every important matter of nation al, state or local concern, I have had strong convictions since boyhood. It would be both a duty and a pleasure to voice these with earnestness were I candidate for legislative or high execu tive place. But an honest man must perform the duties of judge wholly with regard to what the law is. In this he must not in the least consider what he would like the law to be. Abstract jus tice, apart from established law in statute and decision. It is rarely. If eVer. in his power to administer. Hence the work and success of a Judge can never iproperly depend on any political creed or party affiliation, but must rest rather upon his integrity, his industry and his ability. No ruling or judgment of mine, among the thousands made since Janu ary, 1907, would have been made dif ferent had I been a Republican or oth er than a Democrat politically." The resolution at Wichita endorsing President Taft and his administration was adopted unanimously by the Kan sas Republican Editorial association, which was formed upon a call announc ed at the regular meeting of the Kan sas Editorial association, which being a nonpartisan body composed of newspa per men of all (political parties, could not takeup suchresolution.AboutfjOdally and weekly newspaper men were repre sented at this first meeting of the Re publican editors. The officers elected for the new organization were: John S. Gil more, of the Fredonla Citisen, presi dent, and William Townsley of the Great Bend Tribune, secretary and treasurer. The vice presidents were elected one from each congressional dis trict as follows: First district. Charles Brown, Horton; Second district, W. D. Gleason, Paola: Third district, Clyde Knox. Sedan:. Fourth district, Homer Hoch, Marion: Fifth district. Charles Harger. Abilene: Sixth district, B. P. Walker, Osborne; Seventh district, Clark Conkling, Lyons: Eighth district. A. H. Sheldon.

PORPOISE GOOD TO EAT. Said to Be a Substitute for Sirloin of Beef. New Tork, March 10.

The Topeka Edison company has begun a large number of Improvements on their plant, between Seventh and Eighth on Van Buren, the cost of rahich will amount to ever $100,000. Probably the large&t amount of money will be spent iii the altering of the fuel. In past years the Edison people have oeen burning coal. They are now placing in the ground Just north of the plant, two mammoth storage tank?, holding 25,000 gallons of crude oil. Crude oil will be burned in the future instead of coal. L. E. Myers, president of the Edison company, sai1 this afternoon that the company didn't expect to save any money by their change from coal to crude oil, but in adopting the new method it would save them the trouble of storing coal. Companies using a large amount of coal have to figure on a coal strike about every two years and they find it necessary to :tore coal in case such a strike would happen. The Edison peo ple have 2,000 tons ot coal stored at this time. They use about 100 tons a day in their furnaces. Mr. Myers stated that they could never tell when the coal supply would run out. Crude oil was more dependable. "The street cars, the electric lighting, find the motor service as well as con siderable heat over the city depends upon our service at the plant," said Mr. Myers. "If oir coal should run short thousands of people would be incon venienced and we can't afford to place the city in danger." In making this big change it is nec essary for the company to take out all of the expensive automatic stokers and chain grates that have been in opera tion here. Under this system it was TIZ For Sore Feet tired, Aching, Swollen, Smelly, Sweaty Feet? Corns, Callouses or Bunions? Use TIZ. It's Sore. Quick And Certain. toa Will Ealoj UtlRf TIZ.

J possible for a wagon to unload coal In the alley behind the plant and it would not have to be handled until it came out In ashes and cinders in the same alleys. The automatic stokers did away with firemen and extra handling of coal. It is estimated by the officials of the company that it costs about $45,000 to make this change. The old system cost $30,000 and the new crude oil grates will cost about $15 000. The Edison people are also replacing considerable belt machinery in the plant with an up-to-date 1.250 horse power turbine. This Improvement, together with the extension of the lines over the city is estimated as an expenditure of over $100,000. SEEK FUNDS FOR ROAD. Golf Northwestern Wants Right to Issue Bonds.

WIDOW SAYS SHE WAS ROBBED Mrs. Sharp Charges Two Girls With Taking Household Goods. SAVED INDIAN'S LIFE. John Oudahy Was Hero in Ponca Tribe Two Years Ago. Guthrie, Okla., March 10. John Cudahy of Kansas City, in the limelight because of his trouble with J. S. Lillis, was the hero of a thrilling episode on the 101 ranch in Oklahoma two years ago, when he saved the life of Chief Horse Eagle of the Ponca Indian tribe. Following this he was In bed several days with tw-i ribs fractured and his face and scalp lacerated. For his re covery the Poncas performed a dance appealing to the Great Father. The Indians lighted fires and the tribal medicine men led the dance. Cudahy went to the 101 ranch late in January, two years ago, to spend sev eral weeks He spent most of the time on horseback, and it was while on a gallop that he rescued the chief of the Poncas. A coat of ice covered the streams for several miles. He followed the Salt Fork, a tributary to the Ar kansas river, when a turn brought him upon Chief Horse Eagle and his pony, struggling In a gap of open water, the ice having broken under the weight as they were attempting to cross. Cudahy sprang from his horse and hastened to Horse Eagle's assistance. Mrs. Adelina May Sharp, widow of David Sharp, a farmer who became in sane and killed himself in the padded ceil or the county jail a month ago. today preferred charges of larceny against Homer and Myrtle Cunning ham, who she alleges stole household articles from her home. Following the death of her hus band, Mrs. Sharp, with her four small children, rented a house st 119 Crane street from the defendants and moved to the city. While she was out at work she alleges the owners of the house carried away four lace curtains, two bed spreads, two pot covers, six pans, five plates, three saucers, two skillets, a meat grinder and other articles. The widow appeared at the court house this afternoon to make her com plaint carrying a baby In her arms.

It has been feared for some time that in the commission campaign, the candidates would have something to say about other candidates in addition to what they claim for themselves. As announced in the State Journal last week, the formation of several "com' binations" classed several aspirants to gether and they boosted for each other. But this week, the candidates are not only boosting, but they are knock ing. Tne matter has not reacnett tne "mud slinging stage," but in some cases the candidates have almost lapped over the edges of this danger ous condition. Strange to say. but easy to see practically all of the mud slinging is directed against the administration and the candidates who are running In the so-called administration crowd and who have been connected with city affairs before. 4 Mayor Green, as usual, is the "goat. Against his massive form have been directed a large majority of the an tagonistic campaign talk and litera ture. In some of the most successful mud-shots the forces against the mayor made a mistake and a mistake that should be corrected simply as ad vice to the public. A large number of the Billard forces have brought out the argument that It was unfair to re-elect William Green mayor. "It Arould be giving him a 'third term and we don't want any third term 'hogs'." they say. As a matter of Information, it might be mentioned that Mayor Green is run ning for the last half of his unfinished term. He was elected mayor last spring by the people to serve two years. Then ther commission form of government came up and cut his term of office in two. In running for mayor this spring he is-venning for a position that will last but ne year and will fin ish out his unexpired term according to the election last spring. Not only have the enemies of the ad ministration brought out this point but they are hollering for a "clean aweep." This talk ha.i been mentioned before through these columns but the senti ment vas never so strong as at this time. It is claimed, that what Topeka needs is a clean sweep and a new broom" and they are campaigning along these lines. In defense f.f this sentiment the ad ministration crowd claim that this Idea of a "clean sweep" Is foolish. They maintain that the men who have been connected with the city affairs before are acquainted with the work and the conditions and their value to the city under the commission form would be appreciated by the people. They do not believe that an entirely new set of offi cials would make a good commission leader under the nsw form of govern ment. Then the Melan bridge proposition is stirring up trouble on the north side of the river. Candidate Fink makes this bridge matter his campaign talk and is continually telling the people that' ho has done all in his ipower to rush it through the council. In his talk before the political meeting last night he repeated this and was contradicted In a number of statements by Candidate Jordan. The fight between these two men for the melon in the First ward is going to be one of the prettiest on the program. Between this time and the primaries the candidates will snend most of their time among the people and fulfilling their speaking engagements which have been arrangtd by the "committee of Ave." It was thought by students of the situation that before this time a few of the candidates would see the handwrit ing on the wall and would drop from the race. But no ono has withdrawn on account of "cold feet." In fact ev ery candidate declares that ne wm win. This is one of the features of the campaign each man thinks he has the best chance. And it is a positive fact that only eight out of the SO will have this chance. It is still a hard matter to make any guess as to who will be winners. A State Journal reporter made a canvass a few weeks ago and printed a list of the stronger men at that time but it would be folly to attempt a thing at this time. It is simply a case of Jump ing from one stronghold Into another and a person has no chance to Judge the strength of the candidate by the talk he hears.. The returns on election night will be alive with surprises and will- attract thousands of people down town to witness' the reeult. Each man out of the 30 candidates has a host of friends and with a series of political organizations like this in the field the city will go through one of the prettiest political battles in years. wanTs his salary. get $200 more. He alleges he has re ceived but $526 of his salary and asks the balance, with interest from Nov. 25, 1909. That the former coach intends to collect is shown by his garnishee of the Merchants' National bank, where he believes the association has some money. He also garnishees Prof. F. H. Land, treasurer of the Students' Enterprise fund, a fund collected from students along with tuition. He is backed by a surety company in making the affidavit to garnishee. THEY ARE ORGANIZED. Real Estate Men Adopt Name Constitution. and Those attending the meeting of the real estate men of the state are hav ing much difficulty to decide upon the exact wording of the constitution and bylaws of the new state organization. It is possible that it will be necessary to hold an evening session in order to complete all business. Flection of officers will take place as soon as the constitution and bylaws are formally adopted. Talk among the realty men has it that Charles I. Zirkle of Garden City, who was the originator of the movement towards a state organization, will be elected as the first president and W. J. Ricken bacher of Topeka, as secretary. The first and second articles of the constitution as adopted are: Article 1. The name of this asso ciation shall be the Kansas Real Es tate Agents association. Article 2. The purpose of this as sociation shall be to secure a closer union between the real estate agents of Kansas; to protect their rights; to encourage uniform fees; to discour age dishonest dealings; to improve the services rendered by-the mem bers; to cultivate a higher standard of sociability among its members; to eli minate divisions of commissions with those not regularly in the business; and to more thoroughly advertise the resources of the great state of Kansas. Likes Topeka. "When I go out of business I'm com ing to Topeka to make the city my home," raid one of the delegates to the State Real Fstate convention in an out burst of enthusiasm subsequent to the return to Commerce building of the cavalcade of 20 automobiles. The visi tors generally expressed themselves as being well pleased with the appearance of the city and delighted over the man ner in -which they have been entertain ed by the local land dispensers. Automobile Parade. The automobiles got off within 10 minutes of the scheduled houir 10 o'clock ai.'d in excellent order, running at a brisk pace west on Sixth street. Potwin was visited, and the next point scheduled was Washburn college, but unfortunately eight of the machines, owing to a misunderstanding, went di rect to the Country club, later being joined bv the 12 machines which pass ed the college campus. The 20 machines were halted on the south side of the capitol building and a panoramic photograph taken. Farkdale people stood out on their porches to watch the procession of machines as It sped along on its way to the shops district, and later as the autos traversed the main thorough fare of the North side the good people on the street etopped and gazed with surprise upon the unusual spectacle of so many machines in a single line. During the course of the tour there were;a number-of narrow escapes from dangerous predicaments. There were some amusing features likewise. A certain doctor cut in ahead of a ma chine driven by a colored chauffeur. Shortly afterward the negro called out to the doctor asking him what was the matter with his front wheel. The lat ter stopped his machine to investigate, and the colored man took the oppor tunity to forge ahead with his ma chine! The Topeka Real Estate Dealers' as sociation met this noon and passed a resolution asking the mayor and coun cil to pass the street railway ordinance so that it will be possible for the To peka Railway company to go ahead with the contemplated work of extend ing tlfe lines.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAI-THUBSDAY EVENIITG, MARCH 10, 1910. OUT IN THE GOLD

Aotice Served on Insurgent Candidates for Congress That They Can Expect Ko Help -From the Machine. ALL TO BE REGULAR Literature to Be Circulated Will Be of Kight Kind. Will Include Speeches by Taft 4 and Uncle Joe. Washington, D. C, March 10. President Taft has given his approval to plans that have Just been perfected by the Republican leaders, under which the Republican campaign to be conducted next fall for the control of the house of representatives in the new congress shall be waged along lines of strict regularity. In other words, all the literature that is prepared for circulation in the coming campaign by the Republican congressional committee, and all the speeches delivered under the auspices of thai organization, will preach straignt Republican doctrine, as die tingulshed from that advocated by the Republican insurgents in the state and In the house. The plan of campaign to be fought by the Kepublican congressional com mittee was submitted to the president in oetaii df congressman McKinley, of Illinois, chairman of that organiza tion. No Republican nominee will be opposed at the polls by the Republican congressional committee. However, notice will be served on the insurgents by the leaders that all the campaign literature will be "regular: and that all the speakers that take the stump under the direction of Chairman Mc Kinley will talk along lines approved by the Republican leadership in con gress. As a practical proposition, this means that In large measure the dyed-in-the-wool insurgents who opposed the passage of the tariff bill and who have denounced Cannonisih can ex pect little or no help from the con gressional committee in their cam paign for re-election. Taft's Winona Speech. For example. President Taffs speech on the tariff, delivered at Win ona. Minn., in Spntpmhpr '.ct ;a o cepted by the Republican congression al committee as orthodox party doc trine. It declares the Aldrich-Payne act to be the "best tariff law" ever passed by congress. Millions of cop ies of this speech will be circulated in the coming campaign. The speech of Joseph G. Cannon, defending Can nonism, delivered before the Knife and Fork club of Kansas City some weeks ago, has also been approved as a campaign document. The insurgents may take these speeches and others of a like nature for use in their dis tricts or let them alone, Just as they see fit. President Taft has expressed satis faction with the style tot'--campaign, and if he follows the advice of cer tain leaders he will start the ball roll ing in one of the speeches tht he is 10 make on his forthcoming western trip, ii is generally understood that Mr. Taft is prepared to say some pretty harsh things about the insurgent Re- publican movement. Chairman McKinley says the cam paign to be waged this year will be the most vigorous ever conducted by the Republicans. The battleground will be the middle west, and an army of spellbinders will be sent into that sec tion as soon as congress adjourns and kept In action until the polls close in k November. To Invade Chautauqua Belt. The Chautauqua belt, around which Senators Iolliver, Cummins and La Kollette and other insurgents traveled for years,, will be Invaded by regular Republicans. There is a strong prob- .umLy uuh opeaaer cannon may be induced to appear on the Chautauqua circuit. He has under consideration an invitation to make a series of speeches from platforms that have been adorned by Senator LaFollette. The Republican congressional com mittee has booked twenty regular ora tors for 125 speeches in Chautauquas m wiuurc wesi auring July ana August. Bookings will also be made in the same section for regular Repub lican sneakers for SpntemW or, tober. Never in any previous campaign have the Republicans made such am bitions plans to tell their side of the story in document form. In the four months prior to the national election committee sent out 11,000,000 pieces of literature. That was the high wa ter mark: up to that time. It Is planned to circulate approxi mately 85,000,000 pieces of literature uus jcm. mm iremenaous volume or paper will be projected toward the middle west and in certain states in other sections where things are be lieved to be a -little "shaky" for the Republicans. Just how much of this matter will go Into districts represent- .rti uy uisuiguiiis win aepena upon the insurgent candidates themselves. PRIZES ARE AWARDED. Junction City Union. Neatest Paper, Says Wichita Committee. Wichita, Kan.. March 10. The committee which was called upon to award the various prizes offered for print shop" products, found that it had been given a hard Job. The com mittee was composed of five master printers living in Wichita, as follows: 5. M. Booth, H. A. Hahn, A. G. Mc Oormick, C. H. Armstrong and Frank Morrison. So close was the competition that in many instances it took the odd vote to decide to which the prize should be given. "There has been a big. improve ment in the appearance of Kansas pa pers in the last few years." said A. G. McCormick. a member of the com mittee. "They don't look like they did a few years ago. They are a cred it to any state from a mechanical standpoint Just as they always have been editorially." The prizes went as follows: For the neatest letter head, to the Anthony Republican: for neatest ap pearing paper, to the Junction "City Union; for best display advertising columns to the Junction City Union; for best single display advertisement, to Lamed Chronoscope;- for neatest adi'-print paper to .Sterling Journal; for best illustrated edition, to the Southern Kansas Tribune: and for the best general .makeup, to the Junc tion City .Union. There were about 15 entries in. each class. The prizes for the best illustrated edition--went to Editor .Peterson of the Cimarron Jackson ian. TO !EET ROOSEVELT. Big Party ViU Go Up the Nile From Khartum. Denver, March 10. A cable to the Post from Khartum, Egypt, says: Although ex-President Roosevelt is not expected to reach here until March 17, the entire settlement, in both na tive and Earopean quarters, is already in excitement over his visit. The noisl est and most enthusiastic reception ac corded an American is planned for the lormer president. The country or the lower .Nile lias been drained for novel ties and ..European and native musi cians, aided by hundreds of tourists, will raise a din that will resound over the desert. Roosevelt's reception will be that of a.hero and his Journey to Cairo will be at every- stage that of a conqueror. A battalion of newspaper correspondents, chartering every kind of craft, has proceeded up the river, each aiming to be the first to greet Colonel Roose velt. The principal question they have to ask is: "Will you run again for president?" Parties- have chartered a steamer to proceed up the river and escort Colonel Roosevelt to this historical outpost of civilization. It is expected the boat that will bring the Roosevelt party will be ac companied by one of the largest fleets eer seen in this part or Africa. Welcome to Ireland. Dublin, March 10. The lord mayor of Dublin has received a public let ter suggesting that Dublin grant to Theodore Roosevelt the freedom of the city, as the letter says: He has done more for the Irish people and the Catholics in America than all his predecessors put together JEW HEATING SYSTEM. Plans Drawn for Warming and Venti' lating Senate Chamber. Architect Chandler stated today that the plans for the new heating and ven tilation system for the senate chamber in the state house were about comple' ted ana that thev would be presented to the executive council at its next meeting for approval. An appropriation of $1,600 was made by the last legisla ture for this improvement. Representa tive hall was equipped with- modern heating and ventilation apparatus dur ing the summer before the iast session and the system gave splendid satisfac tion and saved a lot of sickness that had occurred heretofore every session. The new ventilation system to be ln- talled in the senate will be along the same lines as the one now in use in Representative hall. The room will be heated with radiators and cooled at the ame time by fresh air forced up into the room through registers. Ventila- on is secured bv means of an outlet in the dome in the ceiling of the room. By this plan the room cannot become verheated nor the air allowed to be- -me close and foul. Colds and pneu monia were unknown among the house members during the last session, as a esult of the new ventilation system used then for the first time in that hall: Mr. Chandler states that the report that the workmen engaged in the exca vation for the new memorial building ad struck quicksand was hardly true. This quicksand had been struck by the workman on the Santa Fe building next to the memorial building site, much to the surprise of the architects in charge, as they had counted on the same earth formation as that found in digging for the foundation for the Mills building in the same block. The Santa Fe build ing engineers will dig to solid rock 20 feet below the level of the street upon which to rest the foundation for the new building. While it is possible that this quick sand may be struck in the excavation for the memorial building, which is only separated from the Santa Fe's new structure by the space of 20 feet, yet so far the workmen have found none at all. Mr. Chandler said that if no sand is struck he will rest the foundation upon the clay soil at the depth origi nally intended when the work was be gun. GAYNOR IN LIMELIGHT. Receives Many Suggestions Since Tak ing Offlee of Mayor. New Tork, March 10. ;Since Mayor Gaynor took office on January 1, he has received -suggestions of various subjects from almost every corner of the globe. His correspondents touch upon almost every conceivable subject, from religion or Roosevelt to the man agement of the Rockefeller foundation or the proper care of the trees in the city parks. Today the mayor has a letter from a man in New Augusta, Miss., who has a large gray eagle, seven and one-half feet in spread of wings, which he thinks the mayor might like, possibly as part of his insignia of office. He wants to know what Mr. Gaynor is willing to give for the bird. POOR HOUSE BURNS. One Inmate loses His Life, While Many Leap From Windows. New Tork, March 10. The poor house at Hempstead, L. I., was destroyed by fire early today. One aged inmate was burned tor death, though a young wo man nurse risked her life to save him. Five other inmates were seriouslv burned and taken to a hospital. There was a panic when the flames were dis covered and nearly 40 of the poor leaped from the windows of the blaz ing structure. Flames destroyed a big factory building on West Forty-fifth street, today, entailing a loss of $100,000. First Bank Failure This Year. Jefferson City, Mo., March 10. Bank Commissioner Swanger has taken charge of the affairs of the Bank of Mercer in Mercer couity, upon the rec ommendation of a state bank inspector, who -examined the bank and reported yesterday insufficient cash resources to meet immediate demands. No arrests have been made. This is the first Missouri bank to become involved in 1910. Riots Cease in Bogota. Bogota, Colombia, March 10. The anti-American rioting ceased practicai ly last night. All of the Americans here are safe. The ending of the dis order was due chiefly to the firmness and tact of Elliott Northcott, the United States minister to Colombia- SETS ASIDE A DAY April 24 Has Been' Chosen as "Tuberculosis Sunday." Mayor Green Will Issue Procla mation to This Effect. CHURCH SERMONS. Ministers Will Preach of Cause, Cure and Prevention. Literature on Subject Pistrib uted at Church Door. April 24 will be "Tuberculosis Sun day." Some time about the first of April Mayor Green will issue a proclamation or a request asking that all ministers in the city set aside a part of the day or all of the day for sermons concern ing the study and prevention of tuber culosis. The mayor makes this announcement following a letter from the National Association for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis in which they ask that this course be taken. It is ex pected that all of the cities of the United States will have the same day set aside for instruction from the pul pit. Mayor Green stated this afternoon that he would write a personal letter to all of the ministers in the city before he issued the proclamation. If the matter appeals to them and satisfactory ar rangements can be made the Sunday will be set aside for this purpose. Topeka is especially fortunate in the study of tuberculosis. The state head quarters for the Kansas campaign is in this city; there are a number of local societies devoted to the work; the char itable associations make extra efforts to stamp out the disease in the poorer sections of the city and camps have been arranged for. Now that April 4 has been set aside for the study of the disease and an appeal from the pulpit has been solicited there will be little excuse for an unhealthy city this sum mer. Distribute literature. The ministers will not only preach sermons on the subject but after the services there will be considerable literature distributed to the church goers. This literature win contain val uable information concerning the cause and the cure of the disease that has killed thousands in its ravages over the country. The following letter was received ny the mayor: The National Association for tne Studv and Prevention of Tuberculosis has inaugrated a movement for a Na tional Tuberculosis Sunday to be held this year upon April 24. This plan is to secure the co-operation of as many churches as possible in all parts of the United States to devote a portion of at least one service on that day to the consideration of tuberculosis and its prevention. We are particularly desirous or od- taining your aid in furthering this movement in your city. If you can sea your way clear to issue a proclamation Shaw socialist, and his views are ex or otherwise to call the attention of 1 ploited on every age; Sti 1 the play or otherwise to call the attention your citizens to'the -fact that April 84 should be observed as 'Tuberculosis Sunday," it will do more than any other agency to bring the iplan to a success ful issue." The following information was also received by the mayor in connection with the proposed "Tuberculosis Sun- Day": The National Association ror tne Studv and Prevention of Tuberculosis announces that on April 24 a national tuberculosis Sunday will lie held in all the churches In the United States. Following campaigns against con sumption that have been carried on in the churches or nunareas or cities ana sermons on tuberculosis that have been preached before thousands of congre gations during the past year a move ment has been started to establish a permanent tuberculosis Sunday on which It is hoped that every one of the 3.000.000 church-gcers in the United States will hear the- gospel of health. 'It is planned to enlist the active co operation of anti-tuberculosis organiza tions, labor unions, fraternal orgamza- tions, and other bodies- together with the churches In the movement. Tha aid of the leading churches in many of the principal denominations has already been offered. All of the large interde nominational bodies, such as the V. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., the Kings Daugh ters and Sons, and various young peo ples' societies are also in sympathy with the anti-tuberculosis campaign. "It fs planned that on April 24 tuber culosis sermons shall be preached in all the churches of the country. -Literature will be distributed to members of the congregations and in every way an ef fort will be made to teach that tubercu losis is a dangerous disease and that it can be prevented and cured. "Clergymen who desire to obtain ad ditional information in regard to tuberculosis will be able to secure liter ature from state and local anti-tubercu-iosis and board3 of health as well as from the National Association." NEAR-WEARY IN JAIL Is Charged Witli Stealing Pair of Shoes From Farmer. Harry Hea?tz. a near-tramp, is in the countv iail in default of a'JSOO bond charged with stealing a pair of shoes worth fl from George Wear, a bachelor farmer of near Silver Lake. He was brought down last night. Wear first discovered the weary son of rest in his hav loft when he stuck a" pitchfork into him. Heartz was very snugly curled ud under the hay taking a long morning snooze yesterday when the proprietor thought to teea nis horse and mounted the ladder to the second story of his barn which "Weary will" had taken for a boudoir. xne first Jab into the hay caused a "com motion and a yell and Wear, was. Kick ing his visitor out. But Heartz was onto his business or getting all that was lying loose so hung around the place until Wear started to his day s work. When he had gone. the tramp is said to have gone to the house, removed a window trom its casing, alighted inside in a bedroom. and finding the -door locked kicked it off its hinges. Once in the kitchen, it is claimed, he prepared himself a gooa full sized meal, smoked a pipe by the stove and then looked for clothes. He left his shoes but a few rods from the house and remained in the village until arrested. CLARK GIVES READING. The Servant in the House" at High School. Professor S. H. Clark, of the Chicago university, gave a reading last night at the high school of "The Servant in the House." He read the entire play with explanations of changes of scene and of the entrance and exit of the characters. His rendering of the cock- iev speech of the drain man, the super cilious nobbi8hness of the bishop, and the masterful dignity of the servant, was so gocd that the audience scarcely missed the staging and costumes that belong to its presentation. The pro fessor prefaced his reading with a brief account of the play in which he said: It is a play attended by clergymen and endorsed by churches; it has taken treniencous hold on the popular mind, and yet its whole tone is social ism pure and simple. Its author is a superlative, dved-in-the-wool, Bernard keens its hold andgrows in. favor." Professor Clarkwill give a reading tonight from'Les Miserables, and will lecture at o'clock tomorrow after noon, i S j NEW USE FOR MONEY. Italian AVants .Tolin D.'s Foundation for Dissemination. New York, March 10. One of the worth iest uses te which the proposed Rockefel fer foundation could be put, thinks Joseph N. Francolini. an Italian banker of the East Side, would be to aid in the dis semination of immigrants and those who live in congested city districts. In a letter made public tonight, Mr. Francolini suggests that the foundation buy land adjacent to large cities, lay It out in complete farms, under the direc tion of an expert and then transport set tlers thither at the company's expense, to gether with provisions for their support a specified time. At the end of a year or more the farm- .MORE INCUBATION. er would begin to repay by installments the advance made him, until his full in debtedness should be discharged.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1910. LET HER ALONE. Moore Flashed Rerolver on Street Car Man. Conductor Gibbs Mnst Forget His Fair Daughter. NEEDS NO SON-IN-LAW. Pretty Esther Likes tad Who Collects Sickels. Papa Lores Them Not and Says Security Order Head Will In "Cease." troduce His Evidence Today. GOES T0JURY. Court Refuses to Dismiss Case Against Kirkpatrick. Objections of Defense in Tilford Suit Overruled. WATERS HACKS HIJI, Attorney Declares Defendant Had Hatred in His Heart. Armed with a revolver and threat ening to kill employes of the TopeKa Hallway company if they did not cease paving attention to his pretty agh ter, John Moore, who lives at the end of the Asylum street car line, caused a stir at the car barns Tuesday n.ght. Hi action followed reading the ac count of the shooting or conductor, U H. Daniels, by Mrs. Mary Vollstedt. f,t The particular cause for Moore s fit of anger, if such it should be called, was the fact that his daughter failed to meet him on a street corner as he ex pected, together with the fact that when last seen she was riding on the car of a conductor who had called at her house. Bsther Moore, a 17-year-old girl, works down town. Some time ago she became acquainted with Thomas Gibbs, a young man who wears the uniform of a street car conductor and earns his livelihood grabbing nickels and paying, "step lively, please," on one of the big pay-as-you-enter cars. Recently he has called upon her and on a few occasions has taken her to Then father began to object. It his his earnest desire, it seems, that young men buuu nut on Fair Esther. Tuesday night Miss Moore rode a Kerth Topeka car to the Bock Island depot, where she expected to meet rel atives on an incoming train. The rel atives, failed to arrive and in com pany with her father she took a West Tenth car, upon which young Gibbs was conductor, and rode up town. Her father left the car at the corner of Sixth street and Kansas avenue, ine Kirl rode on to the Eighth street sta tion and there met a friend with whom she talked for some time, missing the Asylum car whieh she was to take home. Papa Grows Angry. Her father boarded the car at Sixth street and-the fact that his daughter was not on it moved him to anger. He returned to the Eighth street station and his daughter, knowing that her father would be angry, probably hunt her up and make a scene, had walked with a friend to Harrison and Sixth streets and had taken the car there. He did not find her. Then it was that he decided to give the employes of the street railway company "fair warning." and he did to. The manner in which he gave the warning caused a sensation at the car haras. The irate old man finally left, however, without doing serious dam age to anyone and despite his threat to kill off about everyone connected with the street railway, the matters -was not reported to the police. QUICK FIRE DRILL. Took High School Pupils Only 2 Minutes for Exit, In a fire drill at the manual training building of the Topeka high school this morning, 600 students left the big four story building in perfect order in the short time of 2H minutes. Chief Wilmarth of the fire depart ment had sent a letter to superintend ent Whtttemore of the Topeka schools reminding him that the state law re quired that a fire drill be held in every school building in the city once a month. As a test of the efficiency of the students at the high school, the super intendent and the chief arranged to turn in an alarm at the manual training huilding at 9:30 this morning. The students were not warned of the alarm and they fell in fire drill line thinking that there was a fire in the building and their lives were in danger. According to Chief Wilmarth there was very little nervousness, no disor der and the whole line of 500 students left the building in two and a half min utes. This is an excellent showing of the effects of the drill in the Topeka schools. At Uia closing of the plaintiff's evi dence in the Tilford-Kirkpatrick libel suit, counsel for the defendant president of the Knights and Ladies of Security, demurred to the evidence of libsl, wag ing a lengthy argument to prevent the case going before the Jury. The attorneys for Kirkpatrick argued the law of privilege, claiming that Mr. Kirkpatrick was privileged to at tack the moral character of Dr. War ner as a member Of the sama secret or der, stated that there were thousands of Just such reports made in the lodge and likened the privilege of such re ports to tho privilege of either Dunn or Bradstreet in making reports of tho moral as well as financial standing of firms in the business world. In th-3 specific instance of Buffman asking to see the photograph of the Ho tel Welland regitter. they argued Kirk patrick was privileged to show it. The evidence shows that J. J. Buffman. when he asked to see this photograph, carried one in his pocket which he had gotten for D.-. Warner. Judge Dana questioned whether a person with a li- Deious article In his pocket going to an other to ask him to show him Just such an article thereby making himself a party to the transaction, could use that occasion as a basis for an action for libel. The defense further argued that the mere .rjiotograph was not a libel. Counsel tor the plaintiff recalled the testimony of the witnesses who had said that Kirkpatriek had stated that he knew positively that Dr. Warner and Miss Tilford occupied tha same room and that he would prove it. Judgo Dana stated the Kansas lav; on privilege in this wise: "In a secret or der or an order of this kind, it is a privilege to bring the moral reputation of a member under consideration, un der the law of Kansas." Things were apparently breaking bad for the plaintiff when Captain Waters, indignant that it was even presumed that there' had been no malice on the pert of Kirkpatrick. arose to bitterly attack the defendant and enlarge upon the opportunity of 20 months' time be tween 'the Montreal congress and the Philadelphia meeting to verify his statements. Waters Racks Him. "He did not know whether Dr. War ner and Miss Tilford had remained in the hotel a night, an hour, or a minute, he did not know what had been paid for their stay, he had no way of know ing anything of the truth without ask ing 'questions. Did he ask them? Did he ask to see tha cash book or the ledger or verify his charges? Not one. He never asked a question. It would I t have served his purpose. He was tfraid he would learn the truth and thwart his attack upon this man and innocent girl. "It would have been far better had some one gone before a meeting of the trustees of that lodge and told of this leprous heart than for him to drag in the name o; this faultless girl. "Take your own daughter or mine and think of her in graduating robes, sweet, virtuous, beautiful, and Jutt budding into womanhood. Suppose some one had registered her there in the hotel. She would have had no way to know. This girl did not know. Mr. Kirkpatrick knew very well the sig nature of Dr. Warner and he knew the handwriting of both names was Identical. I tell you it is absurd to say that that man did not have hatred in his heart. "Are the names of good girls as they trot innocently along the street, to be dragged under this law of privilege? It were better that all great orders should perish than that one daughter of the state of Kansas should have her fair name ruined. "The attitude of Mr. Kirkpatrick here in the court room is 'Yes, I made that publication. But I stand here immune. I draw the sacred circle of my order about me and defy Your Honor to ap proach.'

THE MILLS DRY GOODS COMPANY backbone of an American in him after he had known the truth he would havo retracted his false accusations against this girl and made reparation but ie stands here arrogantly claiming im munity. Never has he uttered one word of apology to this girl for ruin ing her fair name. 'I have done it for a purpose and it has served its pur pose,' he says." The demurrer was overruled as to three counts and sustained as to one the one based upon the slanderous re marks made by Kirkpatrick to 3. J. Huffman. Defense Has Turn. Counsel for the defense then "began the introduction of evidence which would tend to show that Mr. Kirkpat rick had had numerous conversations with others which would lead him to believe what he said about Dr. Warner to be true. They have witnesses and depositions to show questionable con duct of the two in various places. The turn came as a surprise to the plaintiff's counsel who immediately ob jected on the ground that such evi dence had never been mentioned 'n their answer to the plaintiff's petition. Judge Dana held that the attorneys could not introduce such evidence as had not been indicated in their answer. They then asked time to amend their answer. They have already filed three answers to the petition and had in none set out what they were setting about to show. Besides asking time to file an amend ed answer, the defending attorneys de manded that the plaintiff's counsel state what charge they would stand on, libel, or slander. Will Sue for Ubel. Without a moment's hesitation and ignoring his associates tugging at his coat tails, Capt. Waters, who is con ducting the case, said, "Libel," and may have torn a rent In his strong full sails. The only libel shown in the evidence seems to be the photographs and copies. The slander comprises- all the conversations of Kirkpatrick in ex plaining the meaning of those two names on the hotel register. But more than that an associate is now walking the floor cursing the luck and saying, "Never in a hundred years has an at torney been required to specify which of the two charges he would stand on. The Judge would not have asked it." After the two hours of argument this morning fraught with explosions and cross firing across the attorneys' table. Judge Dana granted the defending at torneys three hours' time in which to prepare an amended answer. Many women of the crowd which has filled the court room since. the begin ning of the trial brought their lunches today and ate them in the court room during the noon intermission. Attorneys for the defense this after noon asked for more time in which to file their answer to plaintiffs demurrer and further consideration of this case was postponed until tomorrow morn ing.

Melan Bridge Extension Is Tied Up. Bidders Say That Estimate Is Too Low. WILL TRY IT AGAIN. Contractors to Be Given Another Chance. Talk of Defacing Structure by Destroying Uniformity. The Melan bridge extension propo sition before the city council has struck a stumbling block that is liable to hold back the active construction until flood time at least- The city offi cials are unable to make any promises whatever and it is feared that it will be impossible to do any active work on the bridge before the opening of sum mer. Since the rejection of the bids at the last council meeting and the addition al delay caused by this action, the peo ple of North Topeka who are directly affected by the extension of the bridge, have girded up their loins and have Clergyman's Son's Testimo nial of Tuberculosis Cure To neglect a cold, bronchitis, lung trouble or Consumption is dangerous. We all know how prone people are to deny they have Consumption. It is a flattering disease, and the sufferer is filled with bright hopes of improvement. Call Consumption by its own dread name and then take Eckman's Alter ative, because it is effective in Tuber culosis. No one need doubt about it there is plenty of evidence from live witnesses. Investigate the following: Amenia.. N. T.. July 9. 1909. Gentlemen: Prior to Feb.. 1908, I was located in Rochester. N. T., suffering wdth LaGrippe. which developed into Tuberculosis. My physician gave me one month to live. I was having terri ble night sweats and mid-day chills and losing flesh rapidly, having gone from 155 to 135 lbs. I coughed and rais ed continually and became so weak that walking a few feet exhausted me. On my return home,- my regular phy frician gave me little encouragement. My father. who" is a clergyman, heard of Eckman's Alternative and induced me to take it.' The night sweats and chills disappeared. mv' cough became easier nd gradually diminished and in a few days I developed an appetite, the first in months. I am now in perfect health, back to iojp'fhav''.' I feel certain that I owe my Jife o Eckman's "Alter ative. (Signed) ,-Bra'cowLES.

To have this 150-foot extension on the south side of the bridge, widen the channel of the Kaw river, give ad ditional waterway to the spring fresh ets and protect their property is the object of the people of North Topeka who have had years of experience with the treacherous river. The bridge situation at the city hall is in a mixed up condition. Every loop hole has a trap hanging over the entrance ready to fall at any time and kill the whole proposition. There are a number of exits for the city to take but all of them have poor fire escapes. Bids Exceeded Estimate. At this time the city is readvertising for bids on the plans and specifications submitted by the city engineer some time ago. The first ad for bids brought out a number of answers and these were opened at the council meet ing Monday night. It was found that all of them were far above the estimate submitted by City Engineer Fulton. This means that the contract could not be let. To let a contract over the esti mate of the city engineer would in validate the bond issues, and the city could not sell the bonds. According to the bridge men there will be no bids under the estimate made by the city engineer. They say that the estimate is too low and if the city waits for bids on these plans they will never have the bridge built. And it is impossible for the city engineer to make new estimates because he swore to those he made originally. It would look as though he didn't know what he was talking about if he with drew his original estimate and made new ones. It was the plan of the city officials to make the new bridge extension along the same lines as the present bridge. It is of the Melan plan and is one of the most beautiful as well as most substantial, in the country. The bridge companies handling the Melan patent say, however, that there is no way to build the extension for the esti mate made by City Engineer Fulton which was about 132,000. The city officials have found one loop hole, but it is liable to cause con siderable unfavorable comment from the people over the city, and should not be adopted. The officials believe that they can build the bridge under other plans than the Melan. It would make the extension of. concrete and steel but the arches would not be as heavy and massive as they are at this time. This would mean that the gen eral appearance of the bridge would not be unified. The main part of the bridge would be of the heavy Melan variety and the 150-foot extension of a different pattern. The original bond issue was $39,000 This was voted by the people. In making his estimates for $32,000 the city engineer figured that it would cost $7,000 to remove the dirt. He figured that the county commissioners would use the dirt on the-proposed south side dikes. Originally it was figured that it would cost about $15,000 to remove this dirt from the locality. The dike matter is tied up in the 'courts and another problem faces- the officials, i Then there is still another hitch in the affairs. The north side extension of the Melan bridge was built for $24, 000. It was the. same as the one to be built on this side. Still some of the bids for the work on this side were as high as. $56,000, Or twice as much as the old extension. The old extension was built two years ago when cement was higher than it is at this time. Where's the "joker?" That is what the city officials are trying to discover, j It is a perplexing situation and the only answer that can be found is that It is pretty hard to find a scheme whereby the city can build the bridge before flood times.. This is what the people want. WILL GOE ABROAD. Leader of Equal Suffrage Society on Verge of Breakdown. New York, March 10. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, on the verge of physical breakdown from overwork In the cause of suffrage, will leave this city early in April for England, where she will join her daughter, the Duchess of Marlborough, and go to some quiet place for absolute rest. Only a sudden change of plans prevented her sailing last Wednesday on the Mauretania. Mrs. Belmont herself made this an nouncement today, and it was imme diately followed by a statement from one of the members of Mrs. Belmont's political equality association to the ef fect that one of the causes of Mrs. Belmont's breakdown was her belief that Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, presi dent of the Equal Franchise society, was trying to stir up trouble for her. The woman who gave out the state ment, criticising Mrs. Mackay further, said "Mrs. Mackay is too strenuous in her work, although I admit her organ ization has done much for the suffrage cause. Her actions seem to us to show that she is extremely jealous of Mrs. Belmont- "Mrs. Mackay is looked upon as a child by Mrs. Belmont, and her actions during the last ten days prove that she is Just a babv. "Mrs. Belmont ha? been for six months the hardest working person in New York city, but she had an iron constitution and stooc' the strain -until the startling criticisms, which we believe are traceable to Mrs. Mackay'8 headquarters, began .e appear. "Mrs. Belmont laughed at them at first, but they became too much for any person to endure and her physi cian advised her to go abroad for a long rest."

If there is one brand of foolishness in a man that is more egregious than any other I think it is the foolishness of the man who doesn't tell the one girl that he loves her because he thinks she must know it by intuition. There is no doubt but that women have a remarkable intuition, but when it's a question of marriage most wo men are building their plans for the future on some sounder foundation than intuition. I have often heard it stated that when a man gets to the point of pro posing the woman has long known that he intended to. Perhaps she does know, but I fancy she also knows he is going to some times when he doesn t do it. Maybe a woman does have an intui tion as to a man's feeling for her, but I guess it's apt to be an intuition that shows up better in the recollection af ter he has told her those feelings than it does at any other time. The joke mongers are always pok ing fun at the woman who says, "This is so sudden," but I fancy there are plenty of women who could say fn all seriousness, "This is so sudden; I had a pretty good idea you felt that way, but I had about given up expecting you a say so. And, furthermore, I have no sort of use for the man who absorbs a large part of a woman's time, pays her con tinual attention, gives her every chance and reason to fall in love with him, but doesn't speak because he isn t in a position to marry her yet. That's all very well. He needn't marry her yet. If she cares for him and is any sort of a women she will be willing to wait But surely it will do no harm to anyone for her to know while she is waiting that he cares ror tier. There was a girl in our town who grew thin and wan and actually aged just twice as fast as she naturally wouia nave, wondering and Question ing herself and having an intuition that he did and then feeling sure he didn't, while the man she -loved was serving up one of those silent court ships. Of course he must have suffered some doubt too, but he always knew tnat lr his doubts became unendur able, or if a rival appeared he could speak while she had no such consola tion. And. any way, I don't believe men have the doubts women do. To the average man it appears quite probable and natural that the right girl should fall in love with him. To the aver age woman that the right man should love her appears more in the light of a possibility. As Elinor Glynn says, "It does not matter what the size of a man is, his vanity is Just the same. A shrimp of nve loot is unable to understand why a lovely goddess does not drop like a ripe peach into his mouth." But to return to the girl who grew thin. One day after the courtship naa enaea in tne proper wav to everv- body's relief she was telling me about it. Jim wouldn t say a word about caring for me until he could give me the right kind of a home," she said. "Wasn't he splendid?" Of course I said he was, but I didn't think so. Quite the contrary. At least not in that matter. Nor any if his ilk that expect women, To know by intuition when they are loved. "AH Is over between us." said the emo tional youtn. "She despises me." "Ha she sent back your letters?" "Yes "Then cheer up. If she really despised you she would hold on to your letters to be read in court or used for the amuse ment or ner friends. Washington Star.

The fraternity has been a part of the national Kappa Sigma for just one year, and for three years previous it existed as a local fraternity under the name of Kappa Theta.

The waist line is slightly high and is marked by three rows of shirring, the cashmere lending itself admirably to this purpose. The shirring is repeated at the knees, appears at the heading of the little vest and down the outer portion of the s,leeve. Across the shoulders are wide scarfs of gray liberty ribbon, which hang from eiiher side of the vest in long ends and are caught together at the center of the back by a pearl buckle and hanging' from thence in long ends. Heavy lace in self-tone fin ishes the neck and sleeves. Mrs., S. C. Crummer gave a 1 o'clock luncheon Wednesday at her home, 915 Fillmore street, in compliment to her guest, Mrs. D. D.

The boys at the college have done their utmost to engage her in conversation: they have been un commonly friendly and frisky; but their most civil questions were re ceived with a silent snub, and their witticisms called out no retort but a sad, sweet smile. She has not even been permitted to answer the saluta tions of the grave and dignified eld ers. It Is to be hoped that such op pression will not continue more than one day, or the result when the priv ilege of free speech was restored. would be worse than the sizzling after drawing ihe cork from a bottle of Red Raven.

Bat All Depends Upon Passage of Ordinance. The Shorey extension will probably be made before any of the other street car extensions, all depending upon the passage of the ordinance permitting the street railway company to use certain streets for laying Its tracks, which will' be taken up by the city council as a committee of the whole tonight. If the ordinance is passed, work on this ex tension will likely be begun as soon as material arrives. This will require about 60 days. These statements wera made this morning by Frank G. Kelley, secretary and treasurer of the street railway company. "It is our idea to build the Shorey extension first," said Mr. Kelley, "as this is the easiest line to build. We will not have paving to deal with and the soil along the route is sandy. This line will go west on Morse street from Kansas avenue to Topeka avenue, north on Topeka avenue to St. John street, west on St. John street to Tyler and north on Tyler to the city limits. Further than this we have not fully decided the route as we have not gone over it thoroughly, but If we extend to Shorey, we will probably stop at the Shorey postofflce, as this seems to the center of the population of the suburb. "However, the extension depends upon the passage of the ordinace which is before the city council's committee of the whole tonight. If it passes we will begin work on the extension as soon as the material arrives, which will require about 60 days' time. "We do not know just what kind of car service will be established but will probablv install a 15 minute service be tween Shorey and the North side." In addition to the Douthitt track the streets on which the company is asking to use for track lying purposes on the south side are Clay street from Tenth to Fourth avenues; Buchanan from Seventeenth to Twenty-first ave nues, and on Fifteenth street from Clay street to College avenue. Some protest is being made against the company's intended action by the resi dents in the territory described. The matter will be decided by the council tonight. J. R. Spetter and F. B. Simms will have charge of the North side school children, who are to visit the moving picture shows Saturday as the guests of the Civic club. C. M. Morrow, prin cipal of the Grant school and E. F. Stanley, principal of the Quincy school will aid them. Flags and ban ners bearing the North side 'slogan, "Notice North Topeka Now," will be carried by the pupils. John P. Rogers is having his 150 acre tract northeast of Garfield park surveyed with the idea of offering it to the State Fair association as a site for the new fair grounds. The Civic club is working with Mr. Rogers on the proposition. Mr. Rogers says he will offer his land at a very reason able price and the Civic club will probably be willing to get the ground into shape for buildings if. the offer is accepted.

This evening a free exhibition game of basketball will be played at the gymnasium of the Central Y. M. C. A. between the local association team and the Havensville high school five which is on its way to Lawrence to compete for the state championship. The following Is copied from a Law rence paper: "Mr. W. E. Brelsford. who was a clerk in R. D. Mason's shoe tore in Lawrence 15 years ago, is now one of the majorty stockholders in the J. C. Payne Shoe company of Topeka. Billy Brelsford was one of the most popular clerks In. town while in Law rence and has a large number of friends here." Basket ball teams of the Central Y. M. C. A. and Topeka high school, which hold the first and second places, respectively, in the city league, will play three games for the championship in the near future. The association team has a clean record, but as the high school team has been gaining in peea, the former will have no easy time in gaining first honors. AN ORDER FOU 10,100 CARS.

Relief in Five Minutes With a Little Dia pepsin As there is often some one n your family who sniffers an attack of Indi gestion of some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Dia pepstn In the house handy? This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a our, gassy Stomach five minutes aftr. Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 60-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why It makes Indi gestion Sour Stomach. Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as Belch ing of Gas. Eructations of sour undi gested food, Nausea. Headaches. Dia-

zlness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the common every-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of this Stomach or Cancer. This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Tour real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poison, which putrefy In the digestive tract and intestines, and, besides, poi son the breath with nauseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough di gestion, and without the slightest dis comfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as yox decide to try Pape's Diapepsin. Real estate men of Kansas will com plete their organization at a meeting this afternoon. Last night at the Commercial club about 130 realty men from all parts of the state banqueted and listened to addresses pertaining to the organiza tion of a state wide association, with the view of securing a closer relation ship of the land dispensers and for conducting an advertising campaign which will bring homeseekers to the Sunflower commonwealth. Real estate men generally have the reputation of being antagonistic to wards one another but at the gather ing last night a most jovial spirit pre vailed and the enthusiasm exhibited in the speeches indicated that the men mean business. The toastmaster for the evening was H. M. Poe, of Norton. Aside from the speakers on the pro gram remarks were made by others present including the following: W. J. Rickenbacher of Topeka, J. H. Little of La Crosse, W. M. Gillette of Council Grove, J. E. Hoaglln of Holton, W. A. Neiswanger of Topeka, H. C. Lathrop of Blue Rapids, W. J. Rickenbacher of Topeka, temporary secretary of the as sociation: C. P. Bolmar of Topeka, W. H. Maxwell of Topeka, Mr. Shaw of Eureka and Frank Chase of Hoyt. Bonnan Speaks. T. A. Borman, president of the Com mercial club, who gave the address of welcome, said in part: "I assure you that Topeka with her 60,000 people is glad to entertain you at this time. The Commercial club with her 900 members is glad to have fur nished the birth chamber for the state organization. 'Seems to me the real estate man is closer to the farm and grass roots than anyone else aside from the farm er himself. It has been my theory that aside from keeping the wolf from the door and providing for old age a man ought to do something for his com munity. It seems to me the real estate dealer can do this especially easily, as the man especially who sells farm lands has an opportunity to exert more influence over the farmers than any other class of men. He is the man who ought to be the biggest booster for im proved produce in this state. "Wo have many good farms in Kan sas, but it is very seldom you And a man who farms scientifically." The speaker went on to enumerate the ways In which the land dealers may be of service in bettering the conditions of the farms. Blakely Makes Talk. C. G. Blakely, president of the local real estate association, spoke on the "Benefits of the Local Organization." "Our local body has been highly profit able," said Mr. Blakely. "We have been enabled to know each other bet ter. It has caused us to have more re spect for our fellow dealer, and hold a much more kindly feeling toward him. "We have here what we feel to be a good beginning for a great city and we believe that the association of real estate dealers in close bond will do a great deal towards making the city more desirable, and we feel that what we do for Topeka will benefit the state, as we look up to the capital of the state as an example." Charles I. Zirkle of Garden City, who started the movement for a state asso ciation, told of the advantages of or ganization. Should Organize. "We, as business men of Kansas," said Mr. Zirkle, "with the interest of the whole state at heart, as well as that of our immediate localities, and our personal interests, should organize and then maintain the best association in the state. The real estate dealers can do it and the real estate dealers will do it. "Almost every other class of busi ness in the state and many of them of vastly less importance than the real estate business are organized. Bank ers, merchants, lawyers, mechanics, newspaper men and farmers, all have their own organizations, each of which is affording substantial assistance to its members to build up their business and to put it on a higher plane. The real estate business really needs or ganizing more than any of these, be cause of its vast importance to our state. "I want to mention to you some of the substantial advantages that I know will accrue to you as members of this proposed association: "It is going to stimulate a most valu able feeling of co-operation. It is going to established a recip rocal feeling that will enable us to help each other. "It is going to assist us in building up and fostering the local organiza tions, which will eliminate the 'curb stoner, always a thorn in our sides. "It is going to assist us in secur ing better transportation facilities and better rates, a point that is essential for us to aim at if we are going to develop our business to the maximum extent. "The fact that this association will serve to stimulate a feeling of co-oper ation, among its members is a point which alone is of ample importance to Justify its organization, because we are now wasting too much effort. We turn down a customer because you can not sell him, or I can not sell him. but we lose sight of the fact that with a very slight additional effort some other member of this association can sell him. In this way we are throwing away our opportunities to develop our businesses. We are discouraging buy ers in place of making customers out of them. In short, we are indirectly disparaging our own proposition in place of encouraging It. "All members of this association should prefer each other to outsiders. If a client tells me that he wants to locate in a certain locality where I have no regular agent. I will take, or lefer him to some member -f our asso ciation, if there is a member there. It will give us all better acauaintance over the state. We have failed to make sev eral sales in the last year, by not hav ing a litt, or co-operation in some parts of easu-rn Kansas, where some of our clients went and bought land. Foster Ijocal Associations. "Then we want to foster local organi zations in every county in the state. and actually muzzle the 'curb stoners, or 'bootleggers,' who are ordinarily ir responsible, they pay no -taxes, no oc cupation, tax. they maintain no office, they spend no money to advertise their country. They, are eriviieged characters, who watch for your clients and mine, and they say mean malicious things about us and. we have no remedy, be cause they ara irresponsible. "Several letters received by us in an swer to our circular letter, contained the statement, that there should be legislation against the 'curb stoner,' in which movement we would heartily con cur. Every man to engage in the real ettate business, should be required to n aintain an officer in a dignified way &nd advertise his country. For the good of our ;jtate, this should be accomplish ed, to say nothing of the benefits to our fraternity. "We need a good strong transporta tion committee. A great deal can be done by securinc rates' and proper con cessions from railroads. One of the pro moters of the Topeka association, has advised us that since the organization of youi local association, you have se cured stopover privileges at Topeka on excursion tickets, which privilege had not been enjoyed for 20 years. "Legislation is also very important to be looked after by our association. If we had been organized at the time of the last session of the legislature, we who are active in immigration work, would have v superior advantages to those we have today in the way of transportation. 'Westward the course of Empire takes her way,' and "Go west young mac and grow up with the country,' are two timelv nroverhs which are still proving the truth and wisdom expressed in them. People of the east are emi grating west today to a greater extent than for years, and we want this, tne greatest agricultural state in the Un ion, to profit by the excellent popula tion that has the energy and ambition, to leave the old homestead, father and mother, brothers and sisters, t secure tetter opportunities and advantages for themselves and their bovs and girls. Just think of it: Rhode Island and oth er New England states, have a popula tion of over 470 for every square mile. Kansas has a population of only 20 for every square mile. What, as it were, a boundlers area we have yet to popu late. A wonderful opportunity for the setive real estate people of Kansas. Now is the time to unite and formulate means nnd melhod.s liv which the great est good can bo accomplished to us all and to Ihe state in general. Morrow'? Address. "State Wide Advertising" was dis cussed by Marco Morrow, an advertis ing man. He said, in part: "You are real estate men, I am an advertising man. I know that you are the most progressive, the most intelli gent, the most wide-awake, the most enterprising, the most up and doing real estate men in your respective nnmrniinlHaO "I know this, as more than a dozen j of you have confessed as much. "Well, I will say that it is only myl i msati' wVlrH vppns me from 1 laiai hivj v v. i telling you what a whale of an adver tising man I am. (Laughter.) "We are both inclined to look on the dark side of things; it is difficult for us to look, into a rosy future; we ar pessimistic; we never can see a pros pective rise in, value; we just hate to become enthusiastic. "Advertising is simply one of the tools of salesmanship, and you have to have a man behind the tool. Adver tising has a. two-fold function; the first, to find a .buyer and seller, and the second is to, create a buyer and seller. "You are a passing medium through which the exchange takes place. You are a live wire- instead of a lump of mud. Kansas must not be a trailer and simply take, the crumbs that fall from the other .state's tables. What's the matter with Kansas? You know what is the matter. There is no or ganized effort worthy the name to se cure homeseekers for the state. "I don't know how possible it is to persuade the powers that be in the state of Kansas to make a state ap propriate for advertising. But I do know it is impossible without a strong public sentiment in its tavor, ana tnai sentiment will never exist until it is called into being by such an organiza tion as you gentlemen will perfect here at this convention. "You will need, first of all, a secre tary paid a sufficient salary to enable him to devote all his time to the work. He must be, as all real estate men are, a hustler, and a live one. Every mem ber of the association must bind him self to pay $5 or $10 a month and must pay it into your advertising fund." Yesterday afternoon an informal business session was held, during which the proposed by-laws of the new organization were read for the first time. This morning the men again met at 8:30 for further consideration of the by-laws.
