Magee. This is the eve of election and the end of the warmest and most bitter campaign In Topeka in years. Every candidate for every office under the commission form of government, sub ject to the will of the people, is straining- every effort to further the inter ests of his campaign and his election. Newspaper advertisements. huge sign board posters, smaller card board posters, cards, circulars and every 6ort of literature is flooding the city today in their last mission for the candidates they represent. And the candidates themselves are using all their personal influence and the influ ence of their friends to nail their elec tion to the city records. Mayor William Green is confident that he will be elected over J. B. Bil lard. "I feel that I will receive a flatter ing vote," said the mayor this after noon. "I feel that I will receive a ma jority of from one to two thousand over Mr. Billard. I think that there will be many more votes cast for the election tomorrow than at the pri maries last Monday and of all the new votes cast I believe that I will receive 75 per cent of them. With 75 per cent of the new vote, 75 per cent of the Kemper vote and a good support from North Topeka. I can not see how Billard can capture the position." Billard Says Wait. J. B. Billard would say nothing at first. When told that Mayor Green expected to be elected by a majority of about l.oOO votes. Billard laughed and said: "I think that Mayor Green had bet ter wait until tomorrow night before he makes any such statements. If he Is able to say that then -all right. But I don t believe he is making a very good guess when he says that now. Of course, I feel that I will be elected but as far as figures are concerned I will wait and talk about that tomor row." The fight on J. B. Billard for mayor has been most strenuous and is being conducted right up to the last minute. The ministers over the city preached sermons against his- character Sunday and this morning the Ministerial union held their final meeting, when the sub ject was brought up and discussed. The "wet" and "dry" bone has been gnawed clean ever since the primaries a week ago and with the election a mud slinging campaign of note will be ended. It was expected that Billard would be arraigned because he is pres ident of the Mutual Ice and Cold Stor age company, but this was overlooked. Polls Open at 6 A. M. The election commissioner has com pleted the arrangements for the elec tion tomorrow. The polls will be open at 6 o'clock in the morning and will stay open until 7 o'clock in the even ing. Everything has been put in readiness for the voting, which is ex pected to be much larger than the vote cast at the primaries. The candidates for commissioner are equally confident of their election. Here are a few expressions from them this afternoon: -C. E. ..ordan I expect to be elected by a splendid majority. John P. Rogers I feel that I deserve a good vote, and I feel that I will re ceive it. H. P. Miller The prospects look very pood to me and I hope to be elected. P. I. Bonebrake I am confident of election. W. G. Tandy I am well acquainted with the work that would fall upon a commissioner and I believe the people know it. Roy L. Bone I feel just as I did be fore the primaries I expect a good high vote. M. C. Holman I will win tomorrow. D. B. Fink I am In this race to win and I want the office which I expect to get. It will be seen that every candidate expects to win and they all have their reasons. For instance John P. Rogers Is the only civil engineer among the candidates. Mr. Rogers believes he should be elected for the head of this department of the city. W. G. Tandy says that he Is the only man on the ticket south of Eighth avenue. H. P. Miller is the only candidate on the east 6ide of the city. C. E. Jordan believes that his work in the city council should guarantee him a position on the commission as the North side candi date. D. B. Fink says he Is the wage earner of the list of candidates and wants their support. Roy Bone is the only candidate on the west side. M. C. Holman depends upon his excellent record as a citizen. And thus each man gives his various reasons for deserving a position as city commissioner. Concerning certain statements that have been made as to his beliefs in the Sunday theater law. H. P. Miller, can didate Tor commissioner, said this af ternoon: "I believe In enforcing all of the city ordinances and as a councilman and a citizen I have proved this belief. The law says no Sunday theaters and I will enforce it. Personally, I have no objection to moving pictures and the like on Sunday, but this has nothing to do with the city ordinances and tne state laws." There has been a disposition to line up the candidates for commissioners with the "wet" and "dry" elements, in spite of the fact that the commission form of government was drawn up for good solid business men and not for prohibition cranks. The attempt to stir up sentiment against certain strong candidates among .those running for commissioner and branding them as "wets" despite their ability to oversee and manage certain departments of the city, has aroused indignation over the cttv and has done more to help the can didates than any other move of the campaign. Mr. Holman Misrepresented. M. C. Holman, one of the candi dates for commissioner, is naturally aggrieved that the opposition to him should class him, as has been done, with the "wet" element. Mr. Holman has been wel! known here for over a score of years as standing for the pro hibitory law, for progress-and every thing for the welfare of Topeka. Noth ing can be gained by misrepresenting him. He sain tonay: "Anyone that has known me for 28 years, knows I have always stood and voted for the enforcement of the pro hibitory law, for the closing of thea ters on Sunday, for the suppression of vice in this city. I have always been active in support of any enterprise that would make Topeka s clean city and build it up. "Have stood for extension of our magnificent street car lines while oth ers have fought against it, simply that I wanted the city and its citizens to be benefited by it. "I have stood for progress, in place of standing ftill, or taking backward steps." The "insurgents" of the school board who have conducted a wide campaign and a successful one for the "bigger, better and broader" educa tion In the public schools o? Topeka have decided to run a "dark horse" against Judge Garver for a member of the school board tomorrow, after all but there is little hope of success. It has been decided to run Coun cilman L. E. Fraser of the Fourth ward against Garver. Garver was nominated In the primaries by a ma jority of 15 votes last Monday. Gar ver represents the "regulars" or those in power now on the city school board. The "insurgents" believe that they lost their fight too closely to give up, and they will run Fraser. It will be necessary for all who wish to vote against the "regulars" and for the "insurgents" to write in the name of Fraser instead of placing a cross after Garver. j L. E. Fraser is one of the most en thusiastic and popular councilman who ever represented the Fourth ward in the city. His energy and good Judgment in the council has made him a host of friends and a reputation as a good councilman. Mr. Fraser is a business man and a broad minded citi zen. He will stand for the beliefs and the betterment of the existing school conditions in Topeka. Talk of a Circular. It is reported around the city this afternoon that the law and order peo ple are getting out a circular which will uphold the candidacy of Mayor Green and four men for commission ers Jordan, Tandy, Bone and Bone brake. On tho other hand it is said that the circular will condemn J. B. Billard for mayor and will classify as wets the following candidates for commissioners John P. Rogers, H. P. Miller, D. B. Fink and M. C. Holman. When asked about the circular this afternoon Mayor Greer, admitted that the law and order forces had men tioned a circular to him but he did not think it would contain any literature against the alleged "wets." Other members of the law and order forces also admitted that the circular would be issued tonight and be distributed to morrow but they refused to give out the contents at this time. H. P. Miller, candidate for commis sioner and one who will receive a hard blow in the circular, ij enraged at the scheme. "I don't see why they should bring politics of this kind into this commis sion election." said Mr. Miller. "I have always understood that the com mission form excluded politics. The men who are elected should be good solid men and men who would serve the city. The mayor has charge of the police department. I think It is altogether an injustice to bring the candidates for commissioners into this fight. It is not the right thing to do and the people of the city are going to consider it thus. If the law and order people are so anxious to condemn men why don't they pay attention to one of their favorita candidates who, all day yesterday, worked men in his building at Seventh and Kansas avenue. Is this obeying the Sunday closing laws? I regret that the people should make such a weak issue as 'wets and "drys' with the commissioners, when they have have nothing to do with such a matter." Two men drove around the city Sun day with an express wagon in which there was a keg of beer. A banner on the wagon read "Vote for Billard." It was obviously an effort to impress upon the people that Mr. Billard is for an open town. Mayor Given had nothing tG do with the "object lesson" and was not responsible for it. Carriages Will Be Busy. The support behind Mayor Green will devote the entire time tomorrow in car rying the people to the polls. The mayor said this afternoon that he had received enough telephone calls and of fers of carriages and conveyances to carry everyone to the polling places. Then the committee behind the mayor has arranged for this work. Billard has also arranged to accommodate all who are not able to take the time and en ergy to walk to the polls. Tomorrow will be a busy day. As there are only two candidates for mayor ?.nd eight for commissioner to count, it is expected that the votes will be count ed before late in the evening. On the other hand the vote will be much larger than at the primaries. It is fully ex pected that 12.000 people will turn out to the polls If tomorrow Is a good day. Ill RETALIATION. Oklahoma Commission Orders Lower ing of Freight Rates. Guthrie, Okla., April 4. As part of a retaliatory program against the rail roads for their attack upon Oklaho ma's two cent passenger and state car load freight rates, the state corpora tion commission today Issued a pro posed general order making reductions of from 19 to 36 per cent in present freight rates. The proposed rates include all classi fied freight except live stock. A hear ing on the new schedule was set for April 28. f Chairman Love also announced that an order was being prepared cancel 1 the commodity rates on lumber, grain, coal, etc., enjoined by Jadge Hook. The board will issue a new scale differing from the old one enough to avoid conflict with the court's order. STARVESTO DEATH Mrs. D. E. Evans Passes Away at St. Francis Hospital. Will Answer Arson Charge Be fore a Higher Court. SHE WOULD NOT EAT. Unfortunate Woman Refused Food, Died by Inches. Would Not Take Medicine or Talk to Officers. Heart broken at her degradation Mrs. D. Evans, charged with arson in connection with the charges against G. V. Stamey, died this morning at the St. Francis hospital of starvation and bowel trouble. For the past 15 days she had refused to eat or take the medicine left for her at the jail. She was removed to the hospital Sunday morning. At that time It was stated that she could not live 48 hours. No funeral arrangements have as yet been made. Mrs. Evans' refusal to eat began when she entered the jail several weeks ago. At that time she lay three days and nights without food and seemed u be unconscious most o fthe time. Then she broke her fast for a day. This was her habit from that time until 15 days ago. Then she began a more sys tematic method of starving herself to death. Once each day she would eat sparingly of one portion of her food. She complained that she could not eat and thus hid her real Intentions from the jail authorities. Meanwhile her health grew worse. Choice viands to tempt her appetite were prepared by Mrs. Bayless, wife of the jailer. Old fashioned remedies for the ills she complained of were given ner but the woman refused to eat the food or take the medicine. Lr. Nicoll, the county physician, was called in and left medicine for the woman which she would not take. This condition continued until Friday when the condition of the woman be came such that she could no longer bring herself to refuse aid. She took the medicine left for her. Her mouth had grown so sore that she could not eat even the foods usually given a patient In such condition. It is believed she realized, dimly, her condition, how ever, and after a brief effort to relieve herself of the pain she must have suf fered, decided to carry out her attempt to escape trial and prison sentence. Lately her mouth and throat has been so sore that she could not talk. Even then her determination to die did not leave her and Saturday night when the physician who was called attempt ed give her medicine he was compelled to force her to swallow It. Father F. M. Hayden, of the Church of the Assumption, was called Saturday night when the county physician was notified and administered the last sac raments of the Roman Catholic church before the woman was taken to the hospital. He stated at that time he did not think she would live until morning. Doctors Said She Was Shamming. The beginning of the end came when Mrs. Evans was locked up. Her death was only a matter of time. Proud, al though wayward, her shame at being locked up was more than she could bear. For several days she was in a pemiconclous condition during which she muttered that she was innocent, that "Vic" had made a tool of her, that she was innocent of any wrong do;ng in connection with the fire. Then doctors said she was "sham ming.' Whether she was or not she ciied and is not shamming now. On doctors' recommendations water was thrown on her and every available means known used in trying to force 1 her to admit that such was true. Nothing remained undone, however, that could be done for the woman, when 11 was realized that the doctors were wrong In their statement that she was shamming. But the woman had allowed herself to become so weakened that medicine could not help her. Stamey Is Grieved. G. V. Stamey. alleged to be the prin cipal in the burning of the dwelling and goods for insurance, almost broke down this morning when talking of the woman and her death. "I don't know much to say about It," he said, his eyes filling with tears. "I'm sorry she is dead although I have al ways 'hought this would kill her. She could not stand it. I don't know what to think of the many things she has told men as I have found that some of them were not true. "Mrs. Evans told me. her husband, Elmer Evans, was dead and ad com mitted suicide four years agi In St. Louis. She showed me a death cer tificate purporting to be the one made out in connection wltn Ms death. Now I know that Evans wa salive and wrl ing to her last October. She showed me a certificate that she had secured a divorce from a man' named Crafts. don't know now whether this Is an other fake or not. "The last time I saw her before I was arrested she took her handker chief out of her purse and something dropped out. Of course. I wanted to find out all that I could and I picked it up when she looked away. It was a letter. I forgot about it until a couple of days afterward. Then I read It and learned that Evans was alive and waiting for her to come to him and bring the baby. Before I had a chance to speak to her about it I was arrested. Kxpected to Marry Her. "I expected to marry the woman, and took her into my home. She drove my children away and I fol lowed them. I'm sorry for any woman that dies and I'm sure if she had lived she would have helped my cause rather than hurt it." When all efforts to rouse Mrs. Evans had failed, Stamey was taken to her cell in the hope that he could get her to talk. But she could not or would not speak. Stamey saya this Is the only time he had an opportunity to talk to her after he found the letter showing that Evans was alive. Mrs. Evans was a woman wno preyed upon the heartsand passions of men for her own pront. She first met Stamev on her trip to Topeka for the purpose of marrying a tarmer near Silver Lake. Stamey, wno is tne oniy one now at hand who knows, says he believes the name was Blush. She se cured a rig at his barn. Their ac quaintance then begun, ripened into love, at least on Stamey's part, and afterward he installed her in his home, expecting to marry her. Trouble be tween the woman and Stamey's chil dren led to a separation. Mrs. Evans claimed that stamey was the father of her child, now said to be four years old. Where the child Is now no one knows. Stamey says he made a trip to St. Louis to ascertain if there was a child and was told by the people who knew her that she had no children. Yet the letter from Evans tells of a baby which Evans is anxious to see. The woman told the other prisoners in' her cell that she had a child now four- "years old. Punishment FoUowed. And if Mrs. Evans played with the affections of men her punishment fol-: lowed the offense. Four time she Is al leged to have married. But when her last illness came there was not a word of inquiry about her. The only ones interested In her fate, excepting, per haps, Stamey himself, were the county officers who wanted her to recover so that she could be punished for her crime. Nt a letter came to her, nor a word of cheer. Other prisoners were visited by love ones and friends but for the woman no one cared. Is, there any wonder that she sought death? Mrs. Evans was arrested about two months ago at Logan, West Virginia. Evans, her husband, was at Holden, a few miles distant, where, it is said, he was foreman in a coal mine. At the time of her arrest the woman was keep ing house In a couple of rented rooms. Mrs. Evans Is the first woman to die waiting for trial in the county jail be cause of Inactivity and refusal to eat. The woman was in a horrible condi-1 SOME ROUGH By a Whole Chorus of Mazeppas. VISITS THE KING. Col. Roosevelt Is Cordially Re celred by Italian Ruler With Whom He Spends Nearly an Hour in Priyate. HIS HUNTING STORIES And Exchange of Compliments Fill Up the Time. Pays Tribute to the Memory of Italy's Honored Dead. Rome, Aprii 4. King Victor Em manuel received Mr. Roosevelt at the Quirinal toda.. The occasion afforded opportunity for another exhibition of the admiration of the public for the former president and the popular in terest in his every movement. The hour of his reception being known, a considerable number of per sons gathered to greet him on his way from the hotel to the royal palace. As he was alighting from the car riage at the Quirinal the Cuirassiers forming the bodyguard of the king gave him a military salute. A footman in blue velvet knickerbockers and red coat covered with gold lace preceding, Mr. Roosevelt was escorted to the ante-chamber of his majesty, where he was received by Rear Admiral Garilli, aid on duty. Count Tozzonl and Duke Cito, masters of ceremonies. Immediately afterwards the distin guished guest was escorted to the door of the king's apartment, which when thrown, open revealed his majesty standing with arms outstretched and with a smile on his lips. His majesty wore the uniform of a general of the Italian army. His words of welcome spoken in excellent English, were cor dial. King victor and Mr. Roosevelt shook hands heartily, the monarch In viting the former president to sit at his side. Th door of the apartment was then closed and the two remained in private conversation for about three-quarters of an hour. "r. Roosevelt, it is said, expressed the pleasure that he felt in again meeting his majesty following tne short interview which they had a year ago at Messina on board the batleship Reumberto. Told Hunting Stories. The king, it is learned, said he had been waiting with great Interest the return of th ex-president, as he had desired to hear from his own lips the report of his African adventures which his majesty had followed as closely as possible. Mr. Roosevelt gave a brief account of his shooting experiences and later expressions of friendship on behalf of their respective countries were ex changed, the Italian sovereign reiter ating his admiration for America. Following the audience Mr. Roose velt said th-t the king had been so gracious and flattering both to him per sonally and to his country that he felt he should not make public anything concerning their conversation. The formalities of the reception concluded. King Victor personally conducted Mr. Roosevelt to the hall of the palace, where the American inspected the tion, when removed from the jail, be cause of her neglect of herself. And it is likely that another prisoner, Mrs. Mattie Troy, alias Mattie Thomas, in Jail on the charge of having poisoned her stepson for his life insurance, is in almost as bad a condition as Mrs. Evans. This was the opinion of Dr. Nicoll, who examined both women Sat urday night. She is reduced from an extremely heavy woman to a mere skeleton in size. She takes no exercise whatever, although she takes better care of herself than Mrs. Evans did.- RIDIXG. Y A hunting trophies- of the king's father and grandfather. When the time came to say good bye his majesty Invited Mr. Roosevelt to drive with him to morrow morning. The sovereign ex plained that though they would dine together at the court tonight he de sired to see and talk with his guest further alone. Drives to the Pantheon. From the Quirinal, Mr. Roosevelt drove to the Pantheon. Beyond the charm of Its ancient memories thls spot Is sacred as it contains the tombs of Raphael, King Victor Emmanuel JL "the father of his country," and King Humbert. At the entrance to the temple Mr. Roosevelt was saluted by the veterans of the wars of Italian In dependence who for 32 years have guarded night and day the tomb of their chief. The guest shook hands with each of the veterans, congratulating them on the honorable duty in which they were engaged and saying that he wished not leave Rome without paying a tribute of respect to the memory of the founder of United Italy. He brought two wreaths which were placed on the tombs of Victor Emmanuel II and Humbert. Mr. Roosevelt was received formally by Dr. C. Riccl. director general of tha fine arts, who represented the ministry of Instruction. Others present were Mgr. Beccaria, royal chaplain of the Pantheon; Commander Andrew T. Long, American naval attache; Prof. Jesse Carter, director of the American school of classical studies at Rome, and several other Americans. Rain was falling outside the Pan theon but a crowd had gathered and as Mr. Roosevelt left the place he was cheered. A pleasing Incident at the Pantheon was a chance meeting be tween Mr. Roosevelt and the Queen Dowager Margarita, who detained the former president In conversation for some moments. Plans at Brussels. Brussels, April 4. Tentative plans for the entertainment of Mr. Roose velt here have been completed. He will be given a dinner at the Ameri can legation by Minister Byron on April 28 and following the dinner will receive the members of the American colony. Next morning Mr. Roosevelt will have an Interview with M. Renken, minister for the colonies, regarding the situation in the Belgian Congo. On the same day he will have luncheon with King Albert at the palace and in the afternoon will drive with his majesty to the Laeken palace.

DUE TO METHODISTS. The Holy Father Objects Haying Any Tisitors to Who Hare Anything to Do With That Organization. Rome, April 4. The audience which It was believed ex-President Roosevelt would have with the pope on Tuesday will not take place, owing to conditions which the Vatican has Imposed, and which Mr. Roosevelt refused to accept. Although the definite negotiations relative to the audience ended before Mr. Roosevelt left Egypt, the an- nouncemer. was withheld until after Mr. Roosevelt reached Rome at the solicitation of his American Catholic friends here, who believed in the mean time the Vatican might change its at titude. One of the former president's American friends, who had been with him In Egypt, came to Rome without an authorization from Mr. Roosevelt and interceded with Cardinal Merry Dei Val, the papal secretary, in an en deavor to avoid a situation which, as It now stands, has caused a real sen sation In Rome, although it was not entirely unexpected. But his efforts were unavailing. While at Gondokoro in February last. Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Ambassador Leishman, saying that he would be glad of the honor of an audience with King Victor Emmanuel and the pope. The audience with the king was promptly arranged. Before an arrange ment could be reached relative to an audience with the pope, several tele grams were passed and the negotia tions were ended by Mr. Roosevelt's re fusal In any way to be limited as to his conduct, and announcing that an audience with the pope under the cir cumstances was now impossible. As a matter of fact, Mr. Roosevelt, while declining to accept any conditions In connection with his audience with the pope, had neither directly nor in directly before, during or after the negotiations, made or considered any engagements in Rome except those of an official character and he actually entered Rome last night with but two definite engagements, the audience with the king, and the dinner to bo given in his honor by the municipality. History of the Negotiations. The history of the negotiations la about as follows: While at Cairo, Mr. Roosevelt re ceived the following telegram from Ambassador Leishman, dated March 23: "Mgr. Kennedy, rector of the Ameri can Catholic college. In reply to an In quiry which I caused to be made, re quests that the following communica tion be transmitted to you: 'The Holy Father will be delighted to grant an audience to Mr. Roosevelt on April 5, and hopes that nothing will arise to prevent it such as the much regretted Incident which made the re ception of Mr. Fairbanks impossible.' Replying by cable to Ambassador Leishman on March 25, Mr. Roosevelt said: "Please present the following to Mgr. Kennedy: 'It will be a real pleasure to me to be presented to the Holy Father for whom 1 entertain high respect, both personally ana as tne nead of a great church. I fully recognize his entire right to receive or not receive whom soever he chooses, for any reason that seems good to him, and if he does not receive me I shall not for a moment question the propriety of his action. On the other hand, I In my turn de cline to make any stipulations or sub mit to any conditions which in any way would limit my freedom of conduct. I trust that on April 6 he will find It convenient to receive me.' On March 28, Mr. Roosevelt at Cairo received a cablegram from Ambassador Leishman giving the message from Mgr. Kennedy, which concluded by saying: "The audience can not take place ex cept on the understanding expressed in the former message." The following day Mr. Roosevelt sent another message to the American am bassador, saying: "The proposed presentation is, of course, now Impossible." Purely Personal. Mr.- Roosevelt particularly desired that the Incident shall be regarded by his friends, both Catholic and Protest ant, In America as personal, and that It shall not give rise to an acrimonious controversy. With this end In view he cabled the following statement to the Rev. Lyman Abbott, editor of tho Out look, at New York: "Through the Outlook I wish to make a statement to my fellow Americans re garding what has occurred in connec tion with the Vatican. I am sure the great majority of my fellow citizens. Catholics quite as much as Protestants, will feel that I acted In the only way posibl for an American to act, and because of this very fact I most earn estly hope that the incident win be treated In a matter of course way as merely personal, and above all, as not warranting the slightest exhibitions of rancor or bitterness. "Among my best and closest friends are many Catholics. The respect and regard of those of my fellow Ameri cans who are Catholics B.re aa dear to me as the respect and regard of those who are Protestants. On my Journey through Africa. I visited many Catho lic as well as many Protestant mis sions. As I look forward to telUng the people at home all that has been done by Protestants and Catholic alike s I Baw It in the field of missionary en deavor, it would cause me a real pang to have anything said or done that would hurt or give pain to my friends, whatever their religious belief. But any merely personal considerations are of to consequence In this matter. The im portant consideration is the avoidance of harsh and bitter comment such as may excite mistrust and anger between and among good men. Thankful He Is an American. "The more an American sees of oth er countries the more profound must be his feelings of gratitude that in his own land there is not merely complete (Continued on Page Eight.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 191 0. C. WAS EASY. Cooleysox Had No Trouble Trim ming the Bines. Harris Pitched Good Game and Had Fast Support. TWO HOME RUNS. Tlsitors Scored Their Tallies by Drives Oyer Fence. Kahl Hit Homer and Reilley and Kunkle Played Well. A fair sized Sunday crowd eaw Coo lev's team smother the Mike team of the Kansas City Blues. The locals played a vastly Improved game over their last Sunday's effort with St. Paul, only one error, a muffed fly by Miller, a recruit outfielder, marrlnsr their de fensive play. This error, by the way, was responsible for the first two runs scored by the visitors, as the side should have been retired before Holt hit It over the fence and the runner who was given life by the error pre ceded the slugging catcher home. Harris, the young pitcher of whom Cooley Is hoping great things, pitched the entire game for Topeka and made a nice showing. He had good con t trol, passing only one man. and he was as tight aa a miser exoeptlng for two hits that went over the fence and scored the only three runs the visit ors made. A. single in the fourth and another in the seventh made up the sum total of the hits made oft his de livery. Harris had no curves last year, but ne puts plenty of English on the ball now and with his burning speed and control he showed Sunday he should round out a strong pitching staff for Richard. Thomason had a good day. The little ex-pitcher played In left field nd he handled four flys in nice shape and batted .500. Reilley the great RelUey was on the job at short, and he played a fast, clean game. No Charley horse observable In Rellleys movements this year. Kunkle, too, was very fast and fielded cleanly and hit the ball on the nose. Cooley has a much stronger team now than he had at this time last year. If "S"oung shows up and pitches up to his reputation, Topeka rooters can pin their faith to a first division team. For the visitors the batting of Holt and Boles, who made home runs, was about the only feature. Boles played cleverly at short, too, and Holt caught a nice game. He caught one runner at second, but Wooley, Thomason and Kahl stole on him. Kahl. by the way, also played an impressive game for Topeka. He hit a triple, which slow fielding allowed him to stretch Into a home run. and he also made a single and had six assists without a bobble. Old Eagle Eye Beckley. who played first for the visitors, has not his eagle eye with him at this time, as he failed to hit. The old timer still cavorts in lively fashion around the first bag. The rest of the Mikes played very ordinary ball, both at bat and In the field, but then they are pitchers and catchers and not fielders or hitters. The first team of the Blues entertained the St. Louis Browns at home Sunday. Topeka started out with a rush. Wooley and Reilley singled. Thom ason flew out.

Des Moines Register and Leader: George S. Davis, the manager of the 1910 Des Moines team, arrived in the city. Mrs. Davis accompanied him. They came straight through from New York. The first thing that Manager Davis did when he arrived in Des Moines was to hike for the ball park. He found two of the faithful there, Catcher Bachant and Second Baseman 'am grlad to come to Des Moines," said Manager Davis. "I have heard a good deal of the city in the east and it has always been well, spoken of a; a hustling western Dlace. I hope that I will be successful in leading a team to the championship of the Western League, but I am not making any pre dictions at the present time. "I know two of the players of the rquad. only. Bader and Dalton. If the rest of the bunch is equal to these two the club ought to be right in the race all right. I do not know whether I will play much myself this yer. It depends a great deal on the circum stances. If it Is necessary, you may be certain that I will get into the game. I believe that a coach line manager can get more work out of them in many ways than a playing manager. The new manager Is one of the most affable and approachable Of managers in the country. He is also a. wonder fully keen student of men and baseball. He has a reputation extending from coast to coast as an inside ball player of the highest type. Everyone knows who George Davis is. and the Des Moines fans have been satisfied that the club will be well handled this year ever since President John V.

FIVE CARS A DAY Are Being Shipped East of Hutchinson. Out Egg Buyers Are Faying 15 Cents a Dozen at Present. Hutchinson, Kan., April 4. If you happen to find eggs a little scarce in the local market, or costing a little more than you think they ought, for this- time of year, blame the effete east. Nine hundred thousand eggs, on the average, are now being shipped from Hutchinson daily, back east, and as the eastern folks are willing to pay good money for hen-fruit, the buyers of the big shippers are scouring the coun try for eggs. The United States Packing Co. ship ped seven cars of eggs to Chicago since Friday, and has been averaging two cars a day for some time. Swift Co. have been shipping fully as many eggs, while the Underwood Viles Cold Storage Co., Carl Nelson, and other shippers of eggs have been doing a good' business. "It is a modest estimate to say that five cars of eggs are shipped from Hutchinson daily, on the average," de clared one egg shipper. "Some days it will run considerably more, others some less. Most of the eggs go from here to Chicago, although many cars are shipped to New York city." Something like 600 cases can be ship ped in a car, and as there are 30 dozen to the case, this means 15,000 dozen to the car, or 75,000 dozen eggs shipped on the average per day. This, as any school boy knows, is 900,000 eggs, close enough to be called a million a day. The eggs buyers aire now paying 15 cents a dozen for eggs, so the daily shipments mean 211,250 to the farmers who sell the eggs. Of course not all cf this quantity of eggs is bought from the farmers immediately adjacent to Hutchinson. The local shipments come here from all over this part of the state, and are re-shipped from here. The result of the heavy demand ror eggs in the east is that in the local market now, although eggs are abun dant at present, the retail price is 20 cents a dozen. "If it were not for the buyers get ting hold of the eggs for shipment east there would be plenty or eggs oreerea here at 10 cents a dozen," declared a local merchant. NEWTON HAS BIG BLAZE.

The Pommern. carrying Del Brueck, who was acting as pilot, a banker, Herr Sommelharddt. an architect, Herr Benduhn and a man named Hein, ascended early in the afternoon at the gas works. The wind at the timo was blowing a hurricane and the Pom mern broke away before she had been completely ballasted. A chapter of accidents began imme diately. The balloon collided with tele graph wires, which broke, almost over turning the basket. It then dashed into the roof of a neighboring factory. destroyed the smokestack. With the basket swaying wildly and half of its ropes cut, the balloon soared to a great altitude and disappeared in the clouds at a terrific speed.

Santa. Fe railway has taken uo with vigor the re inforccd concrete tie experiment and has witnerse-i the first signs of suc cess. In June. 1907. the Atchison. Topeka Santa. Fe placed 20 reinforced concrete ties in the main track' between. Lot Angeles, Cal.. and Redonda Junction In March, 1908. the inspector of tracU and roadway reported' that the ties (.bowed "no indication of deterioration or failure in any way," and in April, IfllO. they were reported to be "in nrst- class condition in every respecW The track on this line ia ballasted with gravel und the traffic is heavy. The McDonald tie is reinforced with horizontal steel rods bent up under the rail seats and tied together at inter vals with vertical rods, which serve also as web reinforcement. The rail is secured io the tie by spiking into sec tions of wrought iron pipe set in the concrete. The inside diameter or tne pipe used for this purpose is a little ess than the greatest aimension ot me 6pike, in order that the spike may cut the metal enough to Insure a nrm connection. The length of the section of pipe is made the same as the depth of the tie. and both ends are passed through tie plates and expanded, so as to hold the plates solidly in the surrace or tne con crete. This construction allows tne tie to be used with either face up. It is necessarv to use a spike with a head to formed that its under face will con form to the top of the rail base when the snike is partially rotated, for at each redriving the spike should be turn ed so that its edge3 will cut an unused rrfion of the nine and furnish a new Krmrt whf-n l he surface of the concrete crumbles under the tie plate or the ena of the tube becomes too bacliy worn to hold the spike, the tie may oe turnea over in the track, thus providing a new surface and an unusuod portion or pip-3 to mike into. The cost of the tie when made in .mall numberj is given by the inwntrr as about S1.30. and it is stated on the same authority that a railway by us ing company forces in the making of the ties could reduce this price by at least 25 cents. In addition to the installation on the Santa Fe, a slightly modified form of this tie has, been installed on all the lines of the Los Angeles Railway com Iiany, but no reports of its perform ance in this service are as yet avail able. The shortage of puiiahle timber for rsilroad ties and the constantly in creased expense of the same has led ir.ar.v railroad companies to make ex reriments costing thousands of do'lars 4- u-v 1 1 rr,ion r? i m nTf V1 n ST the tie iur Ul WJ-t- w o situation.

Mr. Ramey was attempting to walk on this and Just as the car was on me Dnage he lost his balance and fell. He struck the side of the bridge and then plnuged into the river. The water was only four feet deep where he fell, but the soft mud and mire prevented serious Injury. He was soon discovered by small Doys, wno summoned aid and the unfortunate man was taken from the river. He was badly chilled. The trainmen did not see the accident ana tne train went on without him. He was taken to Dr. Roberts for treatment. His scalp was cut open and his back and shoulders are bad ly injured. NEW KANSAS ELECTRIC LINE. Columbus, Galena, Baxter Springs and Miami to Be Connected. Columbus. Kan.. April 4. That the proposed electric line can be built is a fact. If the people of Columbus, Ga lena, Baxter Springs and Miami will do what will be asked of them work can be commenced on the road at a very early date, and it can all be com pleted by fall. The projectors of the enterprise plan to build from Galena to Miami, via Riverton, Baxter Springs, Lincoln ville, Hattenville. From the north side of Brush creek it is proposed to branch off and run a line to Columbus. The building of this road would con nect up the Rogers and Helm systems, one at Galena and the other at colum bus, and it would also be the means of being connected with the line which is going to be built from Cherryvale to Columbus. At Columbus, Oswego, and in the townships through which the road would pass from Cherryvale to Columbus bonds are going to be voted, but nothing of this kind will be asked for the proposed line. The four cities mentioned will be asked to sub scribe a moderate sum for stock in the company. The balance of the money will be secured in New York in fact, two houses have signified a willingness to take the bonds of the road, and one of the houses is partic ularly anxious to do so.

Sena tor Joe Bristow of Kansas declares that a good, first-class business man could administer the affairs of this government for very much less money than is now being annually expended and produce better results generally. He believes that the-" services of hun dreds of employes in the departments could be dispensed with, without an injury to the public service. The Kan san also thinks the senate and house of representatives could easily, be purged of many of their officials and employes at a considerable saving. "This government," said Senator Bristow, "is not conducted as a bust ness institution. It is a government of the people of the United States conducted In harmony with their wisnes. 'lhere is not an executive of ficer in any of the departments of the government but knows that, if he had me autnority, ne could, run the affairs of his department much more econom ically than they are run today. "1 had a little experience in a quiet way once in trying to reduce the ex pense of the carrier service in the city or rsew iorK wnen i was fourth assist ant postmaster general. I discovered upon inquiry that there were blocks of residences in New York where the mail was being delivered six times a day; carriers were going around those oiocks. calling at the residences and delivering -iail six times a day. I did not think it was necessary, and I recommended to the postmaster gen eral that he reduce the number of de liveries from six to four. He signed such an order, but within 30 days the order was revoked, because the mem ber of the house and the senators rep resenting that constituency demanded that it be revoked for the reason that, in their judgment, they were afraid it might injure the efficiency of the ser vice. It would not have done so, but they thought it would.TThat is simply a small illustration of the way that things are done. You can not commend it, but how are you going to correct it? I make the assertion here in the senato that every man familiar with the departments of this government known that there are hundreds of em ployes whose services could be dis pensed with without any in jury to the I public service. There are emnloves of the senate that could be dispensed with without any injury to the pub- i lie service., and the iame Is true. .in I the house of representatives and -in every state government of the United States; but they are not dispensed with. j. "That is true of the executive; it is true of the legislative: it is true of governments an a whole. They ought to be restrained and kept within cer tian bounds, but from my point of view, the proper authority to restrain ir. the president himself, and I think that he is making commendable ef forts to do so. "I concur in the statement of Sen ator Aldrich that he could administer the affairs of this government for very much less money than Is now expend ed for that purpose. Any business man could conduct the affairs of any government as a private Institution for- less money than such government spends. It has been that way from the beginning and it will be that way until the end." The Aiitliex&tic American TVaUrsi. i-. LA.

It has only been a few years since It was discovered that a surgical oper ation would cure appendicitis; in fact, it has been but a short time since the disease -was discovered and named. Whenever there- is an inflamed condi tion of the appendix, caused by impact ed faces in the small cavity opening into the intestine, you then have ap pendicitis. The older doctors used to call this inflammation of the bowels, and were puzzled to know the cause. Even now, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you whv we should have an ap pendix, why we find It where it is, or what are its functions, if it has any. The disease for which he operation is a cure Is usually caused by indiges tion, and in many cases follows a large end indigestible meal. Physicians have until recently recom mended an operation, but now. as it in known that it is caused by indigestion, or dyspepsia, a cure without an opera tion is assured. Where the patient is treated with Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets, the unhealthy conditions prevailing rapidly disap pear, the stomach and Intestines are placed back in their normal condition, every organ of the body operates as it rhould, and the Inflammation is reduced and the operation is avoided. Conscientious physicians, who are looking after the best interests of their patients, will always keep a supply of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy In their office, where In cases of sudden attacks of Indigestion they can relieve the patient at once. There is no record of a case of ap pendicitis where the stomach and bow els were In a healthy condition and pro perly digested the food from meal to meal. No better advice can be given' to any one who has attacks of indigestion, or who has been threatened with appendi citis, then to tell him to- go to the drug store, pay 60 cents, and take home a package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Whenever heartburn gas in stomach or bowels, heart disease or stomach troubles, sour eructations, acidity or fermentations are present, act at once. Take a dose of the Tablets and get relief as soon as possible. At all druggists 50 cents. Send us your name and address to day and we will a; once send you by mail a sample package free. Address F.

FCLL LEASED WIRE REPORT OP TIIK ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal is a member of th Associated Press and receives the full day ieierapn report of that great news or conization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. This Is the season, of the year when almost every team In each of the bas ball leagues has the pennant as good as won. Former Governor Bailey Is not so far off when he characterizes the Kansas Insurgents as being the victims of the microbe of unrest. it is to be presumed that the con testants for local Marathon honors among the boys will train on a diet of lemons and prunes. There is one "crime" of J. B. Billard. candidate foi mayor, that has been overlooked. He is president of the Mutual Ice and Cold Storage company. That Navy Relief society ball at the Washington navy yard the other night must have been something of a fizzle President Taft only participated in one dance. Score one at last for the poor, old. much-battered consumers. The big strike In the coal mines has come at a time when it won't cause much suffer ing among them. Federal officers at Pittsburg, Pa., have devoted three months to an ln vstigation of the "Window Glass trust. Surely that ought not to have been such a difficult thing to see through. "When Colonel Roosevelt sits down to write his name and annex to it all the LL. D.'s and Ph. D.'s and other hon orary degrees that have been conferred on him by the universities of the earth he will need to take a whole day to the task. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, ,jr., has entered the divorce mart in Nevada. But, really, there Is nothing unusual about this bit of news. Marriages among most of the millionaire fam ilies of the country merely seem to be the necessary stepping stones to di vorces. There can be little doubt about the prosperity prevailing in the country. The demand for tickets for the Johnson-Jeffries fight at from to $50 each Is so great that It is not believed the supply will be adequate. And when the "sports'" have money times are anything but bad. That row among the members of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating com mittee was pardonable. So uninterest ing and so free from sensation has been the bulk of the testimony pre sented for their consideration that they must have developed a distressing case of ennui, and therefore Just simply had to do something to stir things up. Is Topeka growing? For an answer ponder over these figures: The build ing permits Issued for the month of March represent an expenditure In new buildings of $133,424 which is a sum nearly $50,000 greater than the building record for March of a year ago, when the previous high record for that month In the history of Topeka was attained. Some pretty high caliber candidates are getting In the field now for Repub lican nominations for state offices. In this class Is W. E. Blackburn, of Har per county, editor of the Anthony Re publican and a member of the board of regents of the State Agricultural col lege. H announces his candidacy for one of the railroad commisslonershlps. On the front page of the current issue of Collier's Is the representation of a folded document labeled: Court of Public Morals. The American People Against Richard A. Ballinger. INDICT MENT. A True Bill. Uncle Sam, Foreman. But Its effectiveness seems t be destroyed by the fact that It Is tied up with a lengthy string of red tape. "Why this effort to erase from the congressional record the severe ar raignment and rebuke of the then President Roosevelt which was deliver ed more than a year ago by the special committee of the house of which the late Representative Perkins- was a member? Things like that never wor ried the doughty colonel very much, be cause he had the knack and the habit of paying back ten-fold everything In that line which was handed to him. In order to show that spitting on, sidewalks is dangerous to health, an investigation has been made by Dr. John Robertson, medical health officer of Birmingham, England, which shows that seven per cent of the "spits" col lected In public places contained con sumption germs. On the other hand the dust collected from the floors -f the cottages of the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium has been found to be free of tuberculosis germs, showing that a careful consumptive la not dangerous. AS THE CAMPAIGN CLOSES. The battle of ballots will take place tomorrow,. ..The decks have been cleared for action in, the first contest under the new plan of government. The Questions to be settled tomor row are of great importance to To peka. The selection of the right men Is paramount, for the success of the new plan of government depends large ly on the selection of the right kind of officials to initiate it. This is not a time fur hysteria. It should be the occasion of sober, careful thought. Which of the two men who are candi dates for mayor can best serve the city? That is the issue direct. Per sonalities have no place in tho cam paign, though, unfortunately, they have been dragged into it bv 'well meaning but misguided individuals. The State Journal believes that "Wm. Green is better Qualified to serve the municipality than Mr. Billard. He has had the experience necessary to a sue- I cessful executive. He has proven his ability to handle the city affairs suc cessfully. He appreciates the magni tude of the Questions which the com mission must solve, and there is no good reason why he should not have a vote of confidence he has earned it No one can ny that "Wm. Green has not been a good mayor. He has made such mistakes as any executive will make in handling the innumerable questions of public policy which come Deiore nim. it is doubtful if there is a man in Topeka who could have made a better record. Let the people think these things over when they go to vote. It s to be deplored that the first campaign under the commission form of government should have been re sponsible for the development of so much bitterness and personal villiflca tion among the candidates, and espe cially in the campaign for the may oralty. It's too bad that it could not have been fought out by the friends of both candidates without efforts to drag down the good name and besmirch the reputations of those who are running for office. It matters not. who started it. Both sides have been guilty of it and it has befogged the atmosphere to such an extent that the real issue of the campaign has been obscured the selection of a mayor and four other commissioners who will be able through their experience or business training to establish the new method. of municipal rule in Topeka in the best possible fashion. It would ap pear that altogether too much stress has been laid on the mayoralty con test Under the commission form of government, the position of mayor as the nominal, head of the police and fire departments is an important one. But it must be remembered that the head ot these departments can be directed in their management along general lines by a majority vote of the commission. And so, an ade quate all round commission one that can be trusted to take no back ward step in any of the Important matters that mean so much for the continued welfare of the city is the thing that the voters are called upon to select. They should use Just as much care in its choice as if they were hiring men to do personal work. As the campaign draws to its close nothing has been brought to light to militate In any way against the can didacy of Mayor Green for re-election. His record in public office has been as an open book. It is one of earnest and honest effort to administer the affairs of Topeka in the best possible way. It has been crowned with a large meas ure of success in many particulars. The experience Mr. Green has gained in the management of the city's many activities would be invaluable to the commission in formulating its lines for procedure. Mr. Green has been tried and tested and not found wanting. No possible mistake can be made bv the people if they retain him in office. There should not be much difficulty In the selection of four commissioners to carry on the important and respon sible work that will be placed in their hands. Among the eight candidates for these places are men of experi ence in civic affairs, men of technical and business training who will be able to do the things expected of them. There is no need of specifying here Just who these men are.

"The timehas arrived when it is possible to have something more sub stantial than mere affirmative and neg ative assertions concerning the merits of the new Payne-Aldrich tariff law," said the Des Moines Capital recently. When the discussion was limited to the declarations of Its friends that it is the best revenue measure -ver enact ed and that of its enemies that it Is l failure, it was not to be expected hat the public would be "given that degree of enlightenment which aids In the reafhir.g of sound conclusions. The new law is now a little more than seven months old. Facts are already available which show the trend of its operations. When President Taft spoke at Providence the other day he made bold to emphasize the following: 1 'First It is the best revenue getter we ever had. 'Second It has by the returns shown that it has the largest free list. 1 Third It has shown that the rates of the Dingley bill have been material ly reduced." "President Taft has, been vigorously at sailed in some Quarters because of these declarations, but now comes Ed- vard B. Ciark, the "Washington corres pondent of the Chicago Evening Post newspaper of notably insurgent ten dencies and makes it plain that the president knew exactly what he was talking about. Mr. Clark says that the president had authority from the bu reau of statistics In the treasury de- partmeat for every claim made at Prov idence. The bureau supplied him with information to the effect that the av erage rate of duty paid on all imports for the last six months was 21.00 per cent ad valorem and that the average rate for the same six months for the four preceding years under the Ding ley law was 24.08 ner cent. "The information "from the bureau of. statistics was accurate, and It shows J as far as figures can show when thus used that there has been a downward revision of the tariff. "From the treasury department it is also learned that in the six months from August 23- to Feb 5 last the cus toms receipts amounted to $166,092,856.64. "During the most nearly correspond ing period of last year for which the figures are available the receipts were ?139.003.076. "Now why should not President Taft be commended rather than censured for presenting the facts? Shall prejudice be permitted, to. so obscure the vision that truth cannot be welcomed? Or will the masses of the people prefer to know the exact' situation in order that they may not be blindly led- into the doing of that which shall result in disaster to commerce and industry throughout the nation? "We predict that the time is not far distant when instead of animadversion we shall -be hearing praise for Presi dent Taft because he had the courage to give the people the facts. "When that day arrives not only President Taft but the Republican majority in con gress will be vindicated." JOURNAL ENTRIES The wise man never puts himself In the hands of his friends.

A three weeks' trial was all that was necessary to convince the labor unions backing the strike of street car men in Philadelphia, that the sympathetic striKe is not the proper weapon with wfi-a 10 ngnt. There are alwavs three narties to strike: the strikers, the employers and me puDiic. The rights of. the public are the rights which generally fail of proper attention. It was the public which was getting tne worst of it in this sympathetic strike business. When President Roosevelt summon ed into conference the striking coal miners and the stubborn operators. and practically forced them, for the good of the Tiublic, ti get together on some basis of agreement which would protect the public from suffering for want or coal, he recognized the sound ness of the prtciple that the public has ngnts in tne settlement or a strike. It is true, no doubt, that if workmen desire to stop work they should be permited to do so. It is true that if a factory or a mine wants to lay off its hands, it should be allowed that privi lege. But if the time comes when through the quitting of men or the laying off of men, the public is suffer ing, the government should have the right to step In and supply the de mands of the public. This may be brought about by compulsory arbitra tion In some form: by a court through which a speedy and equitable hearing may oe tiaa. it is suggested oy some that the plan of requiring all labor dis putes to be arbitrated by sime disin terested tribunal before the strike be gins Is tho best. If the arbitration falls to bring about a satisfactory set tlement, then the dissatisfied particl pant may do as he pleases about start ing a strike or a lockout. But the public will then have the facts In the case, and the decision of the tribunal will be a powerful guide for public opinion. And public opinion can do a good deal to.vard settling any kind of a disagreement in this country. If the present system of strikes and lockouts is bad, then the sympathy strike, or tne sympatnv lockout, mere ly Intensifies the undesirable condition. Sauna Journal. MAPPING OUT THE AIR. Aeronautics have reached in France a stage In which national rules to con trol the navigation of the air are to be considered by the government. These proposed regulations take into account the rights of the public and property owners as well as sky pilots. Thev set a limit within which private premises may not be approached, forbid fighting in a fog, recommend the location of general routes, and prohibit the carry. ing of any explosives, except ammuni tion for hunting.

FROM OTHER PENS NO MONOPOLY. Most persons will find it difficult to appreciate the fine point of view which would shut out any explorer from searching for the South Pole by any route that he wished to follow. There has been some agitation, more or less violent, in Antarctic exploration circles lately as to the intents and purposes of the various expeditions which are planned or being planned" for far south ern journeys. It is, because of this ag itation that Lieutenant Flichner, of the German expedition, which is to make its start in 1911, hastens to assure other intending explorers that ho does not purpose poaching on their preserves. As a matter of fact, he is not going south to try to discover the South Pole. What he wants to know is whether the Antarctic continent consists of two is lands divided by frozen straits extend ing across the land from Weddell Sea to Ross Sea, Now that seems to be such a very modest object that really we don't see how the British or American explorers can make any objection. Further than that we really uo not see why if Lieu tenant Filchner wanted to make an at tempt on the pole itself he should be denied the privilege because someone eipe has the same thing in mind.

It would seem as mougn a single inswni s thought would show why this is im practicable. If the Rockefeller oil were sold without profit nobody else could live In the oil business. There would be many bankruptcies, and the genius which has cheapened oil by ceasing to make nroflts for itself would dry up one of the greatest sources for the cre ation of capital the world has ever wit nessed. The suggested boon would be a boomerang. The best use of wealth is an economic use. An nonest prone is a sign ui a. good use. a reward of merit, and not an extortion. j.ne squiumcnug wealth in an unconscious manner, even for well-meant but mistaken penevo- lence, is not a merit, compare tne use ot a fortune in a productive industry with the use of the same fortune in tne purchase of a diamond or a picture. Millions spent lor luxuries, even n ev ery penny can be "afforded" in the sense that it is not disbursed in excess of income, will have a-very different effect upon the country from the expenditure of a like sum in the purchase or steel rails or agricultral machinery.

They are infinitely worse than the worst red Indian of the past, and thev are as proud of the number of lives they have taken as the actual Apaches were of the scalps. These men usually do tneir aastara- ly work at nighttime, and tnejr nave nr fi-red haunts, but are to be rouna normhna in Paris.

This descriptive cognomen was eagerly seized upon by the Frencn people, wno are voiaaum readers of Indian stories. The word, by the wav. is pronounced "apash." The criminals themselves are proud of the description, and have ever since tried to live up to it, although each man la known by a particular name. it is to a great extent due to tne notoriety they have gained that the have become so active recent ly. Their crimes are now oi mmuoi tlailv occurrence, so that the police have had to call in to their aid special does, which are more dreaded tnan the. uniformed men. It is auite a common scene In pans now to notica a number of policemen surrounding a dead man. a man who has been done to death by these loath some assassins. It is very rare, how ever, to see an arrest, so well are af fairs managed bv the murderers. The result of these crimes is that the policemen always walk their beats in pairs, Dut even men notn men may fall victims together. This is where the value of the trained dogs comes In. Tho apaches have a somewhat dis tinctive dress. They are low-looking characters, with slouch hats on their heads, and knotted handkerchiefs round their necks.

The dimness, of the big drawing room was slightly-lessc-ned by the glow of the light through me perforations of the samovar. Evejyn Herrick was pouring the tea. "I had a letter from Christine this morning, ehj said as she handed cup to Bruca McKenzie. What did she say?" he asked eagerly. "Wait until these people go," she murmured, ".md then I will read It to 11 was an hour before the crowd melted away. ind even then thev were not alone, f r Philip Herrick lounged ine coucn in the corner. Evelyn read the note In an unaertone. I am coming homj, Evelyn. After au mese years of study my voice is a failure. Do you remember that I used to say that I would find my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and Bruce would tell nie that no one ever reaiiy round rainbow gold? All these years I have been seeking a thing mat aia not exist, and you have stay ed at home and have found hflnnlnfcs I often think of you and Bruce and of me inenusnip that has grown up be tween you. Something vou aaid In your last letter maken me feel that vou two are about to enter upon a dearer reiauonsnip than friendship, and Wish you hannlness. T whn bnvA mi ed happiness 'n my search for rainbow gold." Bruce and Evelyn looked at each otner. "You see, she knows," Evelyn Baia at last. From out of the shadows Philip Herrick asked. "Has she lost her voice 7" Yes," Evelyn told him. "her henn mui voice; md she gave up every thing for it." She did not sav. however, what was in the thoughts of each one of the three as they sat there in the dim room. They had all loved Christine, and she had been pnrpd tn nrnf but feeling the call of her genius, she lma cnosen a career ratner tnan mar riage. And now Evelyn and Bruce were engaged and Christine was com ing oack. Behind the samovar Evelyn whisper, ed to her lover, "I am afraid." "Of What?" he dpmnndort "That when she comes back von will find that you have not forgotten her." xie snook nis nead. "She did not love me. ana now I know that I did not love ner not in the way that I love you. Evelyn." Their voices after that sank into a murmured monotone. The darkness gathered, and the man on the couch, looking through the parted curtains could see the stars. He thought of the girl who was coming back. When she had gone away she had been radiant with hope and beauty. She had been courted by a dozen admirers. And she was coming back a failure; coming oacK to nna ner. lover ready to marry anomer woman. His heart ached for her as It had never acnea lor nimself. His own love had been hidden that she might not oe nun py seeing it, but through all the years there had been for him no other woman. And even as he thought of her she came, parting the curtains softly and standing there in the dimness before any or mem saw her. She laughed a little as she came to ward them, and thej'-, jumped to their feet In. startled amazement. You didn't expect me so soon?" she asked, and kissed Evelyn and gave her hands to Bruce and to Philip. She had lost some of her beauty. She was paler and thinner, and the light was gone from her eyes. She gave a little tired sigh as she dropped into the cnair tnat i'nnip nad placed in front or tne fire ror her. "How good it seems to be with you all again." she said; "the three dear people with whom I played as child." Presently she went on. "And now, Evelyn is going to marry Bruce, which is as it should be. I have come back to give you my blessing." The word was said lightly, but .fniiip, watenmg her. saw the trouble in her face. Did she still love Bruce? Would this marriage make her still more unhappy? "When I went away," she said after a silence. "I thought that mv return would be a triumphal entrv. Everv one would want to hear me sing and now no one will care to hear me." Philip sank down on the fur rug in rront or ner. "is it all gone, your voice ne asked sortly. "I still have a little voice she said, 'but no one cares to hear it." And again there was silence. There was constraint, too, in the atmosphere for Bruce and Evelyn had grown Into each other's lives and away from Christine's. Only in Philip's heart was tne real welcome tnat sne craved. She felt this Instinctively, and it was ner need of him, perhaps, that made her ask later, .when the four had talked of many things, "Will you ride back to the hotel with me, Philip? I know Evelyn has a dinner engagement and Bruce will want to say good-bye to her without us. Philip insisted upon a stop at a tea room, where they ordered ices as an excuse but ute nothing. They talked of Bruce and of Evelyn and of the coming marriage. "Evelyn chose the better part," Christine said. A woman is only a woman after all, and homekeeping hearts are happiest." He felt that she regretted the loss of Bruce and tried to comfort har. "I don't believe that you would have been happy with him. Christine." he said. She looked at him. startled, vwith whom?" she demanded. With Bruce, of course." he said. Oh!" she laughed a little. "Did you think why, Philip, I am glad I gave p Bruce, ir I nad loved nim I could ot have given him up. If I had loved him no career could have taken me away from him, and that was why went away to search ror my pot of gold." She stopped for a moment: then she went on with some hesitation: There was someone else that I loved. Philip, but I was not light enough or frivolous to turn from one man to an other. I felt that I must give up Bruce and test myself but the other man never told me. Philip, that he cared." Something In her voice made him look at her rtartled. "Would you have given up your car reer for that other man?" he de manded. "Yes," she said, softly. "I would have been glad to have used my voice for love songs and lullabies, Philip. I knew' that I was following a phantom, that my greatest happiness would not come from a career. .But I felt that I must go away because this other man was true to nis rrieno. and because I felt that I must be very sure of my self." "I could not tell you. You under stand?" he asked eagerly. "I did not dream that you cared, and I thought Bruce's life was bound up In you." "I knew It wasn't," she said. "But that had to be proved, and only mv going away could, prov? it. And I am" more than glad that I Went away, Philip, because I have learned now that love is tne greatest tnmg in the world. I saw so many women over there living their pitiful little Uvea women eaten up by Jealousies and am bitions and the craving for excitement, and I learned that nothing makes a woman happy but love and a home All the modern theories, all the ad vanced arguments can never make me believe anything else." And hen he knew that all his wait ing was to have its reward. He told her, then, of his dreams and of his desires. He wanted her in his life. It seemed to them both, as they went out that the world had chaneed: there was a radiance about the star-lighted evening that was a reflection of tne radiance within themselves. As he left ier at her hotel. Christine whispered. "I have found my pot of gold. Philip." "Where?" he demanded. "At the other end of the rainbow," she said. "At the end that was near est home, Philip." (Copyrighted, 1910, by Associated Literary Press. HVMOR OP THE DAY Reader Hello, Bill! How are you?

MILLS DRY GOODS GO. EXPANSION THE WORD. Topeka Milling Company Capital Stock. Increases In order that it may better take care of its increasing business, the board of directors of the Topeka Milling company, through the president, JVir. Herbert Hackney, announce an in crease in the capital stock of the com pany from $75,000 to $300,000, and that the dividends of the stock can be kept at home, the company is allowing local investors first opportunity 01 purchase. For the past sixteen years, during which time tne business has been un der the present management, the con cern has grown from a struggling in stitution to one of importance both in this country and abroad, their prod ucts being now sold in every state in the Union, and in many foreign coun tries. Last year the business done hovered right around the $750,000 mark. So rapid has been the growth of the business during the past few years that it has outgrown its original capi talization, and it is in order that they may still further increase their busi- ness that this new issue of stock has been decided upon. It is the ambition of the management that the business 1one during 1910 will reach the mil lion dollar mark, and from the pres ent outlook they win not be disap pointed. Just at this time when Topekans generally are interested in the adver tising of the city, it might be of con cern, to many to know that the Topeka Hilling company dops more advertising for the city than perhaps any other one institution, for in addition to the world vide sale of their products tney are conducting a national campaign of ad vertising in newspapers and other mediums to further the sale of this flour and Ralston Health Flours, every package of which bears some refer ence to Topeka. Although the new issue of stock of the company has Just been announced already over $100,000 of it has been snapped up by local people, and from the present indications the entire Issue will be purchased by Topeka investors. The Increasing of the capital stock of the Topeka Milling company is but one of the many enlargements which w ill be made by several Topeka insti tutions during the next few months, eac hone of which will mean a greater and better Topeka. the greater part of the time for this reason. Mrs. Fuaua was about six feet in breadth. She was unable to pass through a door without turning sideways. She was a little over five feet tall. Mrs. Fuqua had been abnormally heavy since she was a girl, but of late years she had been gaining weight rapidly. She was 39 years old at the time of her death. It took seven men to lift her on the cooling board last night. Delay in holding the funeral will be occasioned by the fact that a special casket will have to be ordered for Mrs. Fuqua, as there is no casket in. the city large enough to contain her body. C. B. Carter took her measurements and sent to Kansas City for a casket for her. WANT NIGHT SCHOOLS. Socialists Ask That School Board Pro vide Them. WEIGHED 450 POUNDS Mrs. Iaura Knqua Died in Jjeaven worth Saturday Night. Leavenworth, Kan., April 4. The heaviest woman in this city, Mrs. Laura Fuqua, colored, died at- 10 "clock Saturday night from heart dis ease. She tipped the scales at 450 rounds but a short time before her death. Mrs. Fuqur's weight was so great that she was inable to sit on an ordi nary chair. It would have broken under her. She was accustomed to using a strongly built lounge to rest upon. Despite her obesity, Mrs. Fuqua was active. Until she was takon ill she was seen upon the streets. Whenever Bhe appeared outside her home she was the center of all eyes, but she so disliked being stared at that she re mained in the seclusion of her house Is the Tuberculosis Crusade Losing Ground? Sanitaria Seemingly Fail to Check the Terrible White Plague. Enormous Sums Spent The recent report of the Penna. State Board of Health reveals the startling con dition that despite all the efforts being made by advocates of fresh air and egg snd-mllk-gorging treatments, the number of new cases nas not Deen noticeably de creased. This report applies to Sanitarium treat ment. It does not take into account the tubercular cases cured by Eckman's Al terative when the disease was in an "ad vanced as well as early state. The Sani tarium treatment has only benefited tem porarily, while Eckman's Alterative has cured. Write to any sanitarium and ask them to refer you to even five or ten cured cases not those temporarily benefited; but people who had tuberculosis and are today in perfect health. At the same time write to the Eckman Laboratory, 6th and Market Sts., Phlla., and ask them to refer you to Clergymen, Priests, men and women who took Eckman's Alterative and are today well and strong without a trace of tuberculosis pronounced so by physicians. Some of them took the Al terative 11 years ago when doctors said they would not live 11 weeks. Could anything be fairer to yourself and those who love you and would do any thing to restore you to health. If you are skeptical Investigate us, our medi cine, our advertised statements. Write, if you will, to those who have sent in affidavits and testimonials telling how Eckman's Alterative cured them. Eckman'B Alterative is good for Throat and Lung Trouble and Is on sale at Geo. W. Stansfleld's, 632 Kansas ave., and other druggists. Ask for Booklet of cured cases or write to the Eckman Laboratory, fiti and Market fits.. Phila., Pa. Rev. Thomas S.

During the meeting the following reso lutions were unanimously adopted and a committee elected to present them to the school board: 'Whereas, there are a large number of young people In the city who are de nied the advantages or an education because they have to make their living during regular school hours, and also many foreigners who today can not get even the rudiments of an English edu cation, and 'Whereas, it is to the interests of the working class and of the community as a whole to extend to all of these the opportunities of our schools, which would cost but little extra since the equipment would otherwise remain Idle.

A mother with simple-hearted faith gives her son to God. and arranges to have him trained up to holy works amid sacred sur roundings. He Is reverent and faithful and becomes a Judge and prophet of jehovah- He was a man of largo views, great meekness, patience and forbearance. Though practically re jected by his people who demanded a king, he prayed to God that they might be spared the penalties which their course of action would bring upon them. He devoted his life steadily to the highest good of the people, whom he had loved always, and for whom he was always glad to labor. Happy is the man who, like Samuel, is both patriotic and godly!" G.

Wilson Office Supply Co. 110 West 6th Street Both Phones 1818 He was nice to everyone, but ex- tragantly nice to old people. He never failed to buy liberally from da frutta woman," and often carried her basket down the stairs. When any eld man strayed into the office with some tale ol woe, no mat ter how busy "his man was, he still had time to listen with the profoundest courtesy, to do anything he could, and to usher him to the door and hold It open In his most deferential manner, no matter how ragged and disrepu table the petitioner. One day I praised Urn, and he an swered with almost snappy short 'I don't deserve anv credit at alL" 'Why?" I persisted, "I think you're just splendid. I never saw anyone al ways so good to old people." Do you want to know why? he asked. "Well,, it's just because I wasn't good when I should have been. m trying to make It up. "Why don't you write a letter some time. Miss Cameron, and tell people not to have anytntng like that to regret? Tell them you can be just as good as you know how to some one else's old people n.11 the rest of your life, but It doesn't make up If you weren't as kind and patient as you might have been to your own. "It was my grandfather, you know, and he was terribly exasperating at times, but hang it all, he was sick and lonesome, and I ought to have been so much more decent. "Tell them !t may be hard to be good at the time, but if you aren't It leaves Just about the worst taste In your month afterwards that you can have." "I will," I said; so I am. There Is nothing harder, nothing sadder, than to be a dependent In the home of another, no matter how much that other may owe you. The kindest treatment, the great-, est consideration, cannot make that position a perfectly happy one. And to show unkind ness to such a one is very much like kicking a lame dog or stealing pennies from a blind beggar's cap. I do not refer merely to old people, either. I have just as much sympathy for the old maid aunt whom circum stances have sent into the home of her married brother or sister. A woman wrote me the other day of an old maid whom she knew who lived with her married Bister. She is given enough to eat and a place to sleep, but she Is treated as a complete outsider. No, I take that back, not near so well as an outsider. Here are two or three sentences from the letter "She will bit all day In the house and no one will address a word to her or allow her to join in the conversa tion at all. If they do speak to her It is to correct her ia some way. If she dares to move anything in her room the way she would like to have it. It i at once put back and she is told 'This is our home. You have no right to movo anything. Now what would you do?" ends the letter, "If you were an old maid depending on relation:, and had tried every way to make them like you and found they last repulsed and snubbed you all the time would you go to a place in the river where you knew the water was good and deep, and end it all, or what would j-ou do?" I can tell you the tears came to my eyes over that letter. Not Just Zor that woman, but be cause I know there are so many others in the world like her who sometimes ask themselves that question. Those people would probably have said that thev treated her well, gave her what they ate themselves, and part of their shelter. And yet they left her hungry and cold. For there is no hunger worse than the hunger for love, and no suf fering worse than the cold of lone liness. Is there anyone in your home who ever for a moment feels the least bit as this woman does? I hope not. Huston Goe9 on Trial. Harrisburg. Pa.. April 4. Joseph M.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1910. The Continental Creamery Co. HE GOT THEM BOTH Convict Sharpley Took Schone's Wife and Money. Mrs. Schone Alleged to Hare Eloped With Bigamist. WENT TO QUAKER TOWN Affinity Spent Coin, Deserted Woman at Kansas City. Former Husband Now Wants Divorce and Settlement. Because he harbored and employed two paroled convicts at the entreaty of the Society of the Friendless, Fred H. Schone. a well to do farmer, whose farm is situated near Perry, is today suing for divorca from his wife, Mary L. Schone, whom he married in 1892. Harry Sharpley, one of the convicts who was sent to the penitentiary from Hutchinson convicted of bigamy is the corespondent in the suit. The district court room wa3 filled with farmers and their wives from the neigh borhood of Perry when Schone went upon the witness stand this morning. Hia examination brought out that his wife was the only woman he ever cared for and that he would now receive her fondly if that were possible. On January 5, 1909. after she had pleaded with him to came to an agree ment of separation and give her $1,500 cash, he finally agreed, and mortgaged his place to get her the ready money. But within a few days he learned she had gotten the money for the purpose of eloping with Harry Sharpley and that they had gone to Philadelphia, Jonathan Staley, superintendent of the Society for the Friendless, testi fied to aiding Sharpley to a place on the Schone farm shortly after his pa role in July, 1908. Schone discovered the friendship between his wife and Sharpley during the winter and imme diately sent the convict away. Sharp ley then came to Topeka to live. It is alleged that whenever Mrs. Schone came to Topeka she visited Sharpley. Witnesses will go on the stand to tes tify that shortly after Sharpley went away, Schone became ill and went to a hospital and that during his illness Sharpley went back to the farm with Mrs. Schone. Sharpley's final discharge from the penitentiary took effect Feb. 15. 1909, a month after Mrs. Schone had secured the separation from her husband and the $1,500. D. W. Dreisbach. a neighbor of Schone, testified to the time when Mrs. Schone left the farm to join Sharpley. He had promised her he would let her ride to town with him that day. Be fore he got ready to go, however, John Smith, brother-in-law of Mrs. Schone, telephoned to him to "cut ft out." as the woman was running away. Dreis bach replied that his word was good, but instead of riding to town with her. he let the woman have the rig while he rode behind on a pony to bring the rig back. Affinity Spent Money. Testimony will be put on this even ing which, it is alleged, will show that Mrs. Schone's affinity, after he had spent her $1,500, brought her back to Kansas City, took what money she had left, and departed while she came back to try to get some more. C. J. Evans, attorney for Schone, 'went upon the stand to tell o fthe agreement between the parties. Mr. Schone had spoken to him, he said, about the agreement his wife wanted, so he called Reliable Dentistry. Our success is due to high-grade workmanshir and best materials at reasonable prices.

When he asked her how much money she wanted she stated, $1,500." He re monstrated that upon a separation the wife usually got half the property but she said again she Just wanted $1,500 but wanted cash instead of a check. "Then," said Mr. Evans, "I tried to get her to simply take a vacation If she was tired of him and rest up but but she said 'No.' Mr. Schone was standing behind her with his hands on the arms of her chair. 'Mary, do that,' he urged. 'Please do that, Mary. I'll furnish you the money." Then when she would not listen to it, he broke down and cried. "After that he secured the amount she wanted on the separation by mortgaging his farm. We all went to the bank for her to deposit the amount and I shook hands with them both and left." Go Back to Texas. "Did you ask her during your talk with her what she would do upon separation?" Evans was asked. "Yes, she said she would go to Texas." There is evidence to be introduced which, it is alleged, will concern the friendship of Mrs. Schone and the other convict employed on the farm, whose name has not yet been mentioned. The defense, it is understood, will at tempt to show that the $1,600 taken by Mrs. Schone was but some vacation mon ey. Schone seeks a divorce because of irregular conduct of his wife, and full title to his farm of 160 acres and $3,000 in personal property beoause of his sep aration agreement with his wife concern ing which there are three duplicate con tracts in existence.

Admission 25 cents; CAUSE IT ALL The Yatican Issues a Statement Today. Cardinal Merry Del Val Explains Position. WANTED A PROMISE That Kooserelt Would Not Go to Methodists. Mr. Fairbanks Approves Former President's Stand. Rome, April 4. Now that Mr. Roosevelt has made public the docu ments which the Vatican had con sidered confidential. Cardinal Merry Del Val, papal secretary of state, wishes the entire history of the nego tiations for the audience which the former president sought of Pope Pius X to be taken. Cardinal Merry Del Val Is credited with the responsibility for the Vatican's part In the matter and the following may be accepted as his version: "Following the exchanges between Mgr. Kennedy and American Ambas sador Lelshman and Mr. Roosevelt's decision not to be received on the terms imposed, John Callahan O'Laughlin, assistant secretary of state in 1909 and a personal friend tf Mr. Roosevelt, called upon Cardinal Merry Del Val bearing an Introduc tion from Mgr. Falconl, apostolio dele gate to the United States. Mr. O'Laughlin said: "I do not come in the name of Mr. Roosevelt, but on my own account as an American Catholic." Cardinal Merry Del Val said: "Then what are we here for? It is useless to discuss the matter. If you do not represent Mr. Roosevelt you can not make any arrangement or speak for him." Mr. O Laughlin replied: "What I consider Important is to tell your eminence that If the two dis patches sent by Mgr. Kennedy are re tracted I can assure you that Mr. Roosevelt will accept an audience. Cardinal Merry Del Val said: "I will not discuss Mr. Roosevelt's right, but give me confidential assur ances that, de facto, Mr. Roosevelt will not go to the Methodists and the audience ill occur." Mr. O'Laughlin refused to give this assurance. The cardinal then said: "Mr. Roosevelt is free to go to the Methodists and do whatever he chooses, but the pontiff is certainly free not to receive, a man who would claim the riaht to insult him on the day after having been received by him or perhaps the same day as, accord ing to your statement, he may leave Rome on the same day of the papal audience, thus havlna only between noon and evening Tuesday in which to see the Methodists. It Is of little -consequence whether he Is a Catholic, Protestant. Israelite or Buddhist. Ail h religious persons merit the same esteem. The important thing Is to be honest and sincere. So far as the form of belief is concerned, I believe all honest people will be al ways on good terms with God." Cause of the Trouble. Washington, April 4. Sharply citiciz- lng the work of the Methodist church in Rome as "insulting agitation and offensive proselytism which constitute a real warfare against the pope and the Catholic religion," Mgr. Falconi, papal delegate to the United States, to day commented on the Roosevelt in cident with the Vatican. The papal delegate declared neither the pope nor the cardinal secretary of state was to blame for the situation which he described as "the Intolerable condition created for the holy see by rne Metnoaists m Rome." "So far I have received no communi cation from Rome," Mgr. Falconi said. and know only what appears in the public press. It is certain that the pope has the highest esteem for Colonel Roosevelt, both as a private Individual and as former president of the United States, also that he was looking for ward with pleasure to meeting him. "In the case of Colonel Roosevelt as Mr. Fairbanks, It was not at all a question of religion, but of the self re spect and dignity of the apostolio see. Colonel Roosevelt could have gone to any other Protestant church In Rome and even as would have appeared from reports, to the Methodists, after his re ception by the pope. "After all that has been said. It Is unnecessary to insist that their insult ing agitation and offensive proselytism constitute a real warfare against the holy father and the Catholic religion, and that in the very heart of his ancient and venerable seat. It must be remembered that the holy i father still considers himself as a sovereign ruler and as such Is recognized by other na tions. "Besides as the head of at least 250 million Catholics he has a right to special consideration and ought him self to be the best Judge of what that means. Every government has its etiquette of rules to protect the office and position of its ruler. The circum stance that in Rome the Methodists have organized themselves as an anti vatican party makes it impossible for the holv father to recognize them in any way, much less to strengthen them In the eyes or the catnollcs of Italy. "It Is extremely unpleasant to say the least that this violation should have become public on the occasion of the visit to Rome of distinguished American citizens. However, neither the holy father nor the cardinal secre tary of state is to blame for the in tolerable condition created for the Holy See by the Methodists In Rome." Fairbanks's View. Indianapolis. Ind., April 4. Former Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks, when asked today for an expression of his view of former President Roose velt's cancelling his appointment with the pope, said: "No one can question the absolute right of the pope to extend his hospi tality to or withhold it from whomso ever he likes. This Is a matter which lies wholly within his own discretion. If he prescribes impossible conditions an American may refuse to accept without affront. 'In fact, no American can accept an audience at the Vatican upon the condition that he shall not speak when, where and to whom he likes regardless of church or creed. The principles of religious liberty so dear to Americans must b upheld by us without faltering in the Interest of Catholics and Protestants alike. It goes without saying that I fully com mend Mr. Kooseveit s aecision. Mr. Fairbanks, while in Rome, re fused to cancel an engagement to ad-, dress the Methodist society m as a result the arrangements for his audi ence with the pope were cancelled. Criticizes the Methodists. St, Paul. Atril 4. Archbishop Ire land, after reading the report from Rome concerning the Roosevelt Vatican incident, made the following" statement to the-Associated Press: "Of one thing I am certain the Meth odist propaganda in Rome, is so wide, so calumnious in iti assaults on the Catholic faith, so dishonest in its meth ods to win proselytes that the Holy Father, supreme guardian of the faith. Is compelled by the vital prinsiples of his office to avert at all cost tne slight est movement on his part that might directly or Indirectly, be Interpreted as abettinv the propaganda or approving, even by implication, its purposes and tactics. "Since the Fairbanks Incident I have received from Rome most reliable data. that more than justify any statement I have heretofore made, or may at any other time be prepared to make with regard to this Methodist propaganda. "Indeed, the Methodist minister in Rome, Rev. Mr. Topple, in his address, the Sunday after the Fairbanks Inci dent, gave an all-sufficient indication of Us rancorous spirit and or tne egregi ous calumnies to which It resorts. "How far Cardinal Merry Del Val had reason to suspect from the move ments of the Methodists themselves or otherwise, that there was peril lest. Mr. Roosevelt might even unwittingly be entangled in their meshes, I am not In a position to say." WHO'S AFRAID, ANYHOW Tuft Knows What's Going on in the Roosevelt Camp. Washington, April 4. President Taft is in no doubt about the attitude of Theodore Roosevelt toward his admin istration. Mr. Roosevelt Is not depend ing upon chance meetings with Ameri cans, newspapers or others for infor mation as to the attitude of his suc cessor toward the problems besetting the executive. These two sentences comprise the substance of a report cur rent In Washington today. This report, to state it directly, was that while there may have been no recent direct communication between the two men President Taft and former President Roosevelt have been kept in touch with each other by means of mutual friends. Neither confirmation nor denial was to be had at the White House. It is known that Senator Root, who Is very close to Colonel Roosevelt, recently wrote to the former president at Khar toum a full story of political events during the time the distinguished hunt er was In the African jungles. It also Is known that William Loeb, Jr., who was President Roosevelt's sec retary, now collector of customs at New Tork, has maintained communi cation with Colonel Roosevelt both by letter and cablegram. Mr. Loeb has been a frequent visitor at the White House of late and has seemed to be on notably friendly terms with President Taft. These incidents, it Is believed, have been largely responsible for the story that is now current and for the statement that President Taft reads with complacency the report from abroad that he has "lost Mr. Roose velt's friendship" and that the former president would not be averse to hav ing his name used as a candidate against Mr. Taft. In fact it was said that the president Intimated to a caller today that he was In a position to know "a little of what is going on' in the Roosevelt party himself. JUDGE WILLIAMS DEAD.

TAFT WILL OPEN IT. President to Sound Keynote of Cam paign Saturday. Washington, April 4. The Taft ad ministration is about to defend Itself aggressively before the people of the United States. Convinced that the public mind has been Impressed by attacks upon the administration In many parts of the country and that the criticisms cannot be permitted to pass unanswered with out injury to Republican prestige, the party leaders have decided to "carry the war Into the enemy's country." President Taft Is now declared to be ready and anxious to assume the of fensive. The opening guns will be fired next Saturday in Washington by the presi dent in person and In Chicago by At torney General Wickersham. Mr. Taft will speak in this city on the subject of organization and he will be supported by other powerful orators of the Republican party. Attorn-y General Wlckersham's subject will be the policies of the administration. Other speakers on the platform with Mr. Taft will be Senator Lodge, Repre sentative McKlnley of Illinois, chair man of the Republican congressional committee. Representative Duncan Mc Klnlay of California and John Hays Hammond. Nothing has created so much interest among the Republican leaders in Washington since the inauguration of Mr. Taft as the plans now being formulated to defend the administra tion. Some facts are to be brought out about the operation of the Payne Aldrlch tariff bill and the enemies of that legislation will be called upon to answer the friends of the administra tion with some concrete evidence If this subject lo to continue as an issue within the party. The party, it is said, expects to close the session of congress with interstate commerce, statehood, postal savings.

In addition, it is hoped that a statement may be issued showing that a very great saving has been made In governmental expendi tures. Little Is being said by the party lead ers about the issue of "Cannonism" beyond the statement that this ques tion will take care of itself at the right time. The only explanation vouchsafed for this comment Is that Speaker Cannon Is expected to resign the speakership at the close of the present session of congress. Should the speaker resign at the close of the present session at a time when there would be no opportunity to choose his successor before next winter. It is argued that several mem bers of the D.resent house would an nounce themselves as candidates. No official statement on this subject is ex pected from the speaker. His friends believe that It would be inadvisable for him to weaken the organization of the house at this lime by disclosing his in tentions. They argued that in view of the recent battle In the house all the force that was retained by the Repub lican majority is needed If the admin istration legislative protective program is to succeed.

This organ was recently Installed in the Independence Boulevard Christian church by Rf. A. Long, a Kansas City capitalist.

Detroit, April 4. With a vote said to be the heaviest polled on this issue in Michigan, the fate of more than 1,335 saloons Is being decided today in 36 counties. Up to the last minute before the vot ing began the campaign was a strenu ous one and latest reports told of ef forts being made in Kent and Shiawas see counties by the "drys" to obtain arrests In the former county for fraud ulent registration and in the latter for alleged "colonization." The Kent county "drys" announced last night that they would ask for a grandjury Tuesday no matter what might be the outcome of today's strug gle. The Shiawassee county "drys" s.ald they will ask for the arrest before night of 15 persons in connection with the al leged "colonization."

WRIGHTS CAUSK TROUBLE. French Aviators Refuse to Fly in the United States. New York, April 4. The Aero Club of America finds itself the storm cen ter of an international dispute over the international aviation contest, which should be held somewhere in the Uni ted States this vear. The trophy was won by Glenn H. Curtiss. at Rheims, last August, and now it is Incumbent upon the European aviators to come to this country and endeavor to win it back. But leading French aviators deterred by the attitude of the Wrights and un willing to become involved in infringe ment iitieation. refuse to fly in the United States and are striving to have the contest transferred to France. Un der the terms of the contest the trophy. will go back to France by aeiauit in case tha race is not held here. Officers of the Aero Club of America expressad themselves today as opposed either to a default or to a transfer of the contest. "If the Frenchmen do not want :o come over here," said Alan R. Hawley, of the board of governors, "let us go ahead with the contest just the same. Even if there are no foreign contestants at all, let us hold the meet ing and keep the trophy here, until there ia skill and sporting blood enough in other countries to take it away from us." WAS "GREEN DAY' Serrices in Churches Devoted to Present Major. Lair and Order Forces Unite to Defeat Mr. Billard. IT IS CHRISTIAN DUTY. Sheldon Says Christ's People Should Tote Green. Preachers' Sermons Praise City's Chief Executive. Sunday was a busy day for those who are pushing the candidacy of Wil liam Green for mayor under commis sion administration. Sermons were preached in the majority of the churches on the political situation. It was "Green" day in the places of wor ship. During the afternoon at the First Congregational church seven "law and order" forces merged into what will be known as "The Topeka Law and Order league' with H. B. Howard as chairman. Mrs. J. A. Huron, vice chairman and W. J. Rlckenbacher, secretary. This organization was formed for the purpose of conducting campaigns in the city pertaining to law and order only, and not merely as a political combination. The individual organiza tions represented are: The Women's Municipal league, the Woman's Christian Temperance union, the Ministerial union, the Committee of 200, the Topeka Local union, the Young People's Society of the First and Central Congregational churches. The Local union has not officially joined the league, but the delegates present assured the officers that the union was in harmony with the pur poses of the league and would come in. Under the supervision of the newly formed league systematic work will be accomplished on Tuesday in the pre cincts in tno direction or getting- tne Green voters to the polls. They Praise Green. Tho following are extracts from some of the sermons: "Is Topeka ready to elect to the of fice of mayor a man who- hates the use of tha Bible In the schools, who would like to open the theaters on Sunday, and who is sworn as an officer of a liauor society to do all in his power to repeal our prohibitory law?" was a question asked yesterday by ur. Charles M. Sheldon. "The religious Question is the most serious or ail. It is, therefore, a Christian duty to oppose this man's election and at this time stand up loyally for those reli gious principles which more than any thing else have helped to make Kan sas and Topeka what they are. A gov ernment of the people, which is not founded on religious principles is a blunder in civilization. If we love our homes, our children, our schools, our churches, our civilization, .we must preserve them by putting under them the religion of Christ and the Word of God." "The city and the nation have al ways been saved in moments of crisis by the upright," said Dr. S. S. Estey in the course of a sermon. "A crisis hour is upon. Topeka once again, and it is the duty of her upright citizens to save the city. I urge you, not as a politician, but as a minister of Christ, to go to the polls on next Tuesday and vote for men who will try to enthrone Christian principles in the conduct of our city affairs. It is as much your duty not only to vote right yourself, but it is your duty to persuade as many others as you can to vote for men for offices of mayor and commis sioner who are known to be in favor of enforcing the prohibition and Sunday closing laws. un short, you may concede that Mr. Billard Is a good business man," said Robert Stone last night at the First Baptist church, "but his life, his energy, his capabilities have been all self-centered and not altruistic. Dur ing his long residence in the city he has never been prominently identified with a single project for the uplifting of man or the general welfare of the city. He is not a public spirited man." We should cultivate and develop the spirit of civic patriotism." was the advice of Dr. N. Lynch, given at the First M. E. church. "All the ordinances of the city should be in conformity with the laws of God. Elect men to the positions of honor and trust in the city who are In harmony with the laws which directly affect the moral tone of the community. Cast your vote for the men who are tried and have been prov en true. Any man who is in league with forces pledged to destroy these laws should not have your support." Rev. C. A. Finch, pastor of the First Christian church, said: 'The question confronting the citizens of Topeka is not one of men, but of principles. We are not concerned as to the candidates so much as we are for their platforms. Behind Mayor Green is the record of an administra tion which has ushered in an era of civic righteousness." "Vote for commissioners who have come out in the open and are not try ing to conceal their true sentiments in respect to law and order issues from the many of the voters." said Dr. F, L. Hayes, last night at the First Congre gational church. "There is one candi date for mayor and but four for com missioner who have freely given their platvorm. COGHILL MAY RECOVER.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1910. TAFT FORJNIONS. President Tells a Big Meeting of Railroad Employes That Organization of Laboring Men Is Necessary. TWO GOOD KEASONS. For the Passage of the Bill Regulating Injunctions. To Fulfill a Promise and Be cause It Is Right. Worcester, April 4. President Taft put in a busy Sunday with a visit to "Aunt Delia" Torre j- and the scenes of many boyhood reminiscences at Millbury and an address here In the afternoon before the Joint meeting of the brotherhoodr in train servic mass' meeting of nearly 2.000 railroad employes at Mechanic's hall. The president declared that he believ- ed In labor ofganiiafions. But'as chief magistrate of the nation, he added, he believed also in the right of every man to labor as he will. to earn the wages that he will and. if he chooses, to stay cut of labor organizations. The presi dent's first assertion was greeted with a wild outburst of applause." His second statement received only a scattering response. Later, however, the president again aroused the ra-Ilroad men to en thusiasm by saying he beiieved their organizations were necessary to deal with organizations of capital and by detailing his deep-interest In legiala tion looking to further requirement of safety appliances and the .'lability of tne employers. The president motored the six miles from Millbury to Worcester and it seemed as thoueh the entire city had turned out to bid him welcome. He rode at the head of a procession of some 50 or more machines that had been driven to Millbury to greet him. The route through the city was lined with many .thousands and the quiet of the Sabbath aiternoon was broken with ap plause. 1 he Sunday demonstration was unique in Mr. Taft's travels. Following his address before the Brotherhood of Trainmen the president- returned to Millbury for supper with "Aunt Delia' and left last night for Washington. Old Memories Revived. The president's visit to Millbury threw that quiet little community into an uproar of excitement. The lavish decorations hero in Worcester were ecarcely more imposing than those with "which Millburv bedecked itself. As a boy, the president used to spend his vacations at Millbury where his ma ternal grandmother, as well as "Aunt Dealia," now 84 vears old, and other relatives, long have lived. He used to swim in the Blackstone river that flows through the town. He used to play baseball on the field and trudge around barefooted in search of early adventures. All these memories were revived. "Aunt Delia," it is said, cooked some of the dainties that were spread before her nephew-president at midday dinner and at supper. Horace D. Taft, the president s brother, also was on hand at the family reunion. The president attended services at the Saond Congregational church at Millbury and listened to a sermon by Eev. Robert Dunbar. The selectmen of Millbury welcomed the president as he stepped from his private car. Then nearly the whole town wanted to see the car in which the president rode. They climbed upon the platform, walked into the observation parlor, sat in an ample chair which they believed to be the president's favorite, and want ed to be shown into every compart ment, kitchen, pantry and all. All day long the sightseeing keot up and the car Colonial will live long in the annals of Millbury life. Governor Draper and Mayor Logan of Worcester also met the president at Millbury and rode with him to Worces ter. Governor Draper at the labor meeting paid a high tribute to Mr. Taft. saying that he brought to the bur densome task of president great ability end fidelity and was "serving the people admirably and well." Cheers for Everybody. Governor Draper declared the critic was abroad in the land. "But I ask for Mr. Taft he con cluded, "what I know he will get de spite a few cheap cavilers, the grati tude and the thanks of the whole American people." This sentiment was enthusiastically cheered by the union men. They also cheered the mention of Theodore Roosevelt by Mr. Taft and they cheered the president when he said that despite the fact that he had been told the anti-injunction bill would cause him to be damned by both sides', he hoped and believed the measure I would pass, because he deemed it a solemn party promise and a measure that was right. The president again was cheered when he said he was not afraid to con sult railroad presidents when railroad legislation came up for consideration at Washington, despite the criticisms that had been made of his course. "If there is one thing I hate." he declared with emphasis, "it is sham, hypocrisy and fraud in representing a virtue when it does not exist. I be lieve in being fair to all." President W. C. Brown of the New Tork Central. President C. S. Mellen f the N. T. N. H. H. road and President Lucius Tuttle of the Boston Maine road all listened to Mr. Taft with interest. They also made brief speeches to the trainmen. Among other things. President Taft said: "When the opportunity was offered to me to come up here and meet the railway organizations of the United States I seized it. There was a time awhile ago when I thought a good deal about the train organizations of the United States and wondered a good deal what their members were going to do. I found in dealing with them that the best course is to talk right out, and if they don't agree with you they will at least, if you talk right out and tell them what you believe to be the truth, accord you the compli ment of sincerity and a desire to reach the truth. Believes In Unions. "I believe In labor organizations, and if I were skilled enough to be come a member. I should apply for membership. "The fact is. I believe I am an hon orary member of the steam shovelers' union. But in spite of that and in spite of my sympathy with organized labor, I put above them, above everything, the rht of every man to labor as he wifl, to earn the wages that he will, did, If he chooses, to stay out of labor organizations. That is the standpoint that the president of the United States must occupy in dealing equally to every citizen of the United States. "Now the reason why I an in favor of organized labor is that labor must organize to be on an equality with its employers, and the capital that its em ployers have. It has shown in the past that by such organization and Dy proper methods it can secure the wages to which it is entitled. It can secure an increase when the market is going up and earnings are increasing, and it can prevent the too hasty reduc tion when earnings are falling off and the business is becoming light. "It is at the hands of intelligent or ganization that the cause of labor is to triumph. It is when labor organiza tions are not guided by intelligence and conservatism that the cause of labor suffers, and with the suffering of labor suiters the entire community. "Now, I was proclaimed to you, gen tlemen, when I was nominated and afterward, as the 'father of injunc tions. Well, I am not so old a man The remedy by injunction, without re spect to labor disputes, is the remedy in equity that is the most valued one that I know in doing justice, because instead of attempting to compensate for injury, it prevents it being done. "I believe, and my predecessor. Theodore Roosevelt, believed, that the power to issue injunctions ought to be denned and limited in such a way that there was to be in future no danger of ill-advised issuing of such injunc tions. We have got a bill of that sort in congress. My friend and quondam enemy. Brother Gompers, says it is no good at all. My embarrassing friend Van Cleave, says it is very vicious. And they are at the two poles, which my dear friends,, is one of the best evl dences that I have that the bill is i good thing. "I don't know whether I am going to get mat Dili tnrough or not. We promised it in the Republican plat form, and that is the platform upon which I was elected. But I was talk ing to a gentleman yesterday about it, and he said: Two Good Reasons. 'What is the good of passing it? Tou will Just be damned by both sides. I said: 'The good of passing it seems to be this: that there are two small reasons for it; the first is that we promised it, the second is that it is right.' "Tou do not believe, neither do I in boycotting. Tou don't believe in the sympathetic strike; neither do I; because it is a blind movement that never accomplishes anything. Tou do believe in organization and stand ing together, and so do I. Tou have reached the conclusion that every thing that does injustice to the rail road that employs you, does inius- tice to you. I am not defending the railroads. There was a time, I hope it has passed, and I believe it has, when the system of rebates was so general that they were all lawbreak ers. It was a sad condition. But I believe that time has passed and the railroads of the country as a general thing are trying to obey the law, and to get laws which- they can reason ably obey. Kow I am trying to get through that is, 'l have followed my constitutional function of recommend ing to congress that the bill be put through; it Is not right for me to say that I am trying to get it through a bill amending the inter state commerce law, and one of the objections to my bill is that I con sulted six railroad presidents before I made my recommendation. I consulted shippers; I consulted the interstate commerce commission; I consulted everybody that had an interest; and then it occurred to me that possibly the railroad presidents knew something about interstate com merce, and so I consulted them, and to that some people damns the bill. Hates Hypocrisy. Now, gentlemen, if there is one thing that I hate, it is a sham: it is hypocrisy; it is fraud in representing a virtue when it does not exist. I believe in being fair to all. and I am not afraid to consult railroad au thorities in determining whether a law ought to be put on the statute books. They know about the railroad busi ness. I am not bound to follow what they recommend, but I am bound to give .them a hearing. Justice for Railroads. One of the things that is good to end a little of the demagogy about the railroads is to have the railroad men understand that In order to pro mote the public good and their good, it is right to do justice to railroads. And it does not help a community at all to compel a railroad to do busi ness at a loss. And it does not help the employes of that railroad, either. I hope I have judicial mind enough to occupy a position equally between the railroads and the men who serve them, but I am in favor of giving everybody a hearing, and then if the argument in favor- of the railroads appeals to my sense of jus tice I yield to It. "Why, one of the reasons for fighting my bill if I may call it so, with deference to those who object is that the railroads are not there fighting the bill. If the railroads do not fight a bill, then you can be sure that it must be corrupt and rotten. Now, gentlemen, that may have been so in times past, but the railroad authorities have learned lot within the last ten years and they know that it does not help their interest to fight a bill that is just. "One of the great things that your organization has done is to bring to the public mind the necessity for leg islation with respect to safety appli ances and with respect to the employ ers' liability act. Just apropos of this I have a tel egram which I am asked to read: The senate passed our amend ments to the employers' liability law yesterday. The house concurred 4n them this morning; now ready tor the president's signature. The newspaper men object that I do not announce my decisions in ad vance as much as I ought to, so as to enable them to make a 'scoop,' but I will let you into my confidence I will sign that bill. "This employers' liability act for Interstate commerce employes has now been amended in such a way as to leave to the jury the Question as to how far the man's fault entered into the accident and leave to It the amount that ought to be deducted by reason of negligence." LAUNDRY GIRLS HURT. Bursting of a Steam Pipe Results in a Panic. Chicago, April 4. A dozen girls were injured, several seriously, in a fire in the Central steam laundry today. Sev eral girls Jumped from windows and others were Injured In an explosion. Four are In a serious condition at a hospital. The panic was caused by the burst ing of a steam pipe in the mangle room on the second floor. When the clouds of steam filled the room seven gir's jumped from the windows.

DOLLEY A CANDIDATE Will Run for Representative Again in Wabaunsee. His Home Paper Booms Him for Governor. When Governor Stubbs was asked today to express himself in regard to the Wagstaff conference and statement of platform last Saturday, he had nothing to say. "At the proper time I will open my campaign for gov ernor," he said. "But right now have no statement to make." The governor did not appear to be worried over anything. Rather, he was in a most cheerful frame of mind and talked enthusiastically about the wealth of apple and peach blossoms on his grounds at Lawrence, where he spent Sunday. The governor will make an automobile trip of the southwest counties of the state the last of this month. But then that trip was planned before the Wagstaff conference of last Saturday. When the Wagstaff managers decid ed to call the Topeka conference of last Saturday they sent out about 2a letters of invitation to party leaders over the state to meet here. Forty politicians were present at the confer ence. So the attendance was larger than expected. And the confidence and enthusiasm just oozed out of these Wagstaff supporters. Their reports from their home counties indicated a landslide for Wagstaff. even after be ing discounted 40 to 60 per cent. But do these men represent their home districts? Are they in close touch with the mass of the voters at home? The politicians have, without excep tion, been poor guessers when Gov ernor Stubbs was concerned. He has beaten them with monotonous regular ity at every turn in his road to politi cal prestige. It Is a hard task and one rarely ac complished to beat a state official for second term. Even a weak man with no record to speak of behind him. And Stubbs is a strong man, and he has a fine record to show for his year in the governor's office. But on the other hand, certain square deal supporters and newspapers have been inclined to laugh at Wag staff and to treat his entrance upon the stage of state politics as a joke. These people are making the mistake of their lives and they are not real friends of Governor Stubbs. The Wag staff candidacy for governor is not a matter for levity. Any one who attend ed the conference at the National hotel Saturday could see the serious and the earnest side without any difficulty. Plans were laid at that meeting for a campaign to embrace every county in the state. All sections were represent ed. The men behind the Montgomery county lawyer are wise from experi ence and they know what a jest is worth when applied to a political scrap. They only hope that the square dealers will continue to consider the fight on Stubbs as a joke for a couple or three months longer. These Wagstaff "wag gers" talked and acted Saturday like men who had started out to lead a forlorn hope and found when they act ually arrived on the field that they had a fair chance to win. They had start ed out to command a skirmish line and they remained to discuss the plans of battle for their army. The sceptics pres ent became interested and the scoffers staid to cheer. Men who knew Wagstaff four or five years ago when he made the fight on the Montgomery Joints and delivered speech at the Kansas Day banquet came to the conclusion that the young man had developed rapidly. He made a short talk Saturday that sounded like the real thing. "Tom will put up an article of talk during the campaign worthy of the governor when they meet on the stump." said a Topeka mari pres ent who Is a nonpartisan so far as the factional fight Is concerned. "And Tom has a smile that is worth a million dollars to him in a campaign. Stubbs laughs out loud and wins votes, but Wagstaff just smiles and picks them off the bushes." The Indications Saturday looked good. But one can get a better line on the real thing when the Wagstaff campaign s opened in earnest the latter part oi this month. Wagstaff may do as well as Leland two years ago, and he may do better, but there is nothing sub stantial to indicate the latter guess as yet. The Alma Signal, published in J. N. Dolley's home county of Wabaunsee, an nounces tne candidacy or Mr. jjoney for re-election to the house of represen tatives. The Signal at this time sees in Mr. Dolley gubernatorial timber two vears hence. Mr. Dolley's record in state politics doubtless justifies the Sig nal's praise when it says: That Hon. J. JN. JJoiley will stand for re-election as representative from Wabaunsee county may be stated as a settled fact, lacking only the author ity of the formal announcement of Mr. Dolley himself. In other words, Mr. Dolley is willing to make the race if his friends think it the best thing for the party, and the sentiment of the party seems to De aiong tnat line. There is a point about the re-election f Mr. Dolley that should appeal to every waoaunseean, regaraiess oi party. Wabaunsee county never had a place on tne political map ox tne state until two years ago. This county nev er had furnished a state or district officer until Mr. Dolley entered state politics. His election as speaker of the house of representatives and chair man of the state central committee shows that the party in the state recog nizes in him a man of unusual strength, and place.3 this county sec ond in prominence only to Douglas county, the home of Governor Stubbs. To elect Mr. Dolley this year by an in creased majority places Wabaunsee county squarely in line to furnish the state her premier officer two years hence." Ex-Goveronr Hoch of Marion is strong for Wagstaff for governor. In a signed editorial In his Marion Rec ord, Governor Hoch says: "Mr. Thos. E. Wagstaff. who has an nounced his candidacy for governor, subject to the Republican primaries, is one of the ablest and strongest men in the state. As county attorney of Montgomery county, he vigorously en forced the prohibitory law when it was unpopular to do it. and when weaker officers were whining about it being impossible to enforce the law where local sentiment was against it. Tom Wagstaff made local sentiment by his courageous performance of duty. He is In the prime of middle manhood, a popular speaker, and in every way a fine fellow. When elected president of the Kansas Day club las? "January he assured old time Republican en thusiasm by announcing himself 'just a plain, plug Republican.' I love Tom Wagstaff." CLASH AT ROME (Continued from Page One.) federation but the heartiest good will and sympathy between sincere and nonest men of different faiths good will and sympathv ro rnmnlctn that in the innumerable daily relations of our American life Catholics and Protest ants meet together and work together without thought of the difference of creea oemg even present in their minds. This is a condition so vital to our national well being that nothing should oe permitted to jeopardize it. Bitter comment and criticism, acrimonious at tack and defense, are not only profit less, but harmful, and to seize upon such an incident as this as an occasion ror controversy would be whollv in defensible and should be frowned upon by Catholics and Protestants alike, and all good Americans." The failure to arrange an audience between ex-President Roosevelt and the pope, which was known only in certain circles, is expected to create a tremendous stir here as well as abroad, far overshadowing the import ance of the incident in which former ice President Fairbanks was the prin cipal. Although the negotiations were tech nically between Ambassador Lelshman and Monsignor Kennedy, it is well un derstood in Rome that Monsignor Ken' nedy was acting under the instructions or cardinal Merry Del Val. The tele- grams therefore were in reality between ex-President Roosevelt and the papal secretary of state. When the correspondent called at the Vatican, great surprise was expressed when It vas learned that Mr. Roose velt had given out the text of the messages exchanged by Mgr. Kennedy and the American ambassador, as they were regarded by the Vatican in the light of diplomatic documents, Mgr. Kennedy explained on March 21, John W. Garrett, first secretary of the em bassy. called upon him to "transmit" Mr. Roosevelt's reauest for an audi ence with the pontiff on April 5. He said that Mr. Garrett insisted upon the word transmit." Mgr. Kennedy in formed the secretary that he immedi ately would present the request to the proper Vatican authorities and promis ed a response as soon as possible. Merely a Hint. "The following day," said Mgr. Ken nedy, "I was authorized to send Mr. Roosevelt the first message, which is quoted in his statement. The refer ence to the Fairbanks incident in the message was intended only as a friend ly intimation. I notice that my second message is not ruiiy given, it ran tnus: His holiness will be much pleased to grant an audience tc Mr.Roosevelt, for whom he entertains great esteem. both personally and as president of the United States. His holiness quite recognizes M-". Roosevelt's entire right to freedom of conduct. On the other hand, in vler of the circumstances for which neither his holiness nor Mr. Roosevelt are responsible, an audience could not occur except on the under standing expressed in the former mes' sage.' j After this no -curtner communica tion reached me from Mr. Roosevelt. It further appears taht it was John Callan D'LoiighUrCywho was assistant secretary of he stare in 19 09 and a great personal friend of Mr. Roose velt, who attempted to intercede with Cardinal Merry Del Val. 'The follow ing semiofHcii! version of what tran spired at that interview has been fur nished to the Associated ress by a Vatican authority: "Cardinal Merry Dei Val said to Mr. O'Loughlin: 'Can you guarantee that Mr. Roosevelt will not visit the Methodists here?' "Mr. O'Loughlin replied: 'I can not. Indeed I believe that Mr. Roosevelt is just the man to go there. He will do as he pleases.' 'It is Indefensible.' said the papal secretary, 'for any person to be asked to be received by a great personage whose feelings he would be unwilling to respect.' In the course or turtner conversa tion the cardinal declared that no court in Europe granted unrestricted audi ences. Mr. Roosevelt himself, said the cardinal, "when he was president de clined to receive persons uncondition ally at the White House. Without giving the names of the persons the cardinal recalled a case where Presi dent Roosevelt, having been erroneous ly informed that a certain person was visiting him by the authority of the Vatican, immediately sent a cabinet officer to the apostolic delegate at Washington to inform the delegate that-he could not receive this person age, but he. meant no discourtesy to the pope by his refusal. The pontiff, when Informed of this, replied: 'I esteem President Roosevelt more than ever.' Applies Only to Methodists. Returning to the present incident, Cardinal Merry Del Val remarked: "It is not in any sense a question of religion. Mr. Roosevelt might have gone to an Fpiscopalian, a Presby terian or any other church except the Methodist and delivered an address there, and he would have been re ceived by the pope even on the same day. But he could not be received when It was suspected that after the audience he Intended to go to the Methodist church in Rome, which is carrying on a most offensive campaign of calumny and detraction against the pontiff." v The papal secretary even recognized Mr. Roosevelt's right to claim the priv ilege of visiting the Methodists the day after the audience on condition that he. Merrv Del Val. receive private as surances that he would not actually do so. The Vatican empnasizes me state ment that it did not receive from the American embassy any notification of Mr. Roosevelt's final message that an audience had become impossible. After being apprised of the contents of the Vatican's statement, it was ex plained on Mr. Roosevelt's behalf, that his final messasre had not been com municated to the Vatican because Mgr. Kennedy's second telegram was all of the matter so far as ne was con cerned, but that he wished to keep the door open, not for his own sake, but for the sake of the Catholic church in America. When Mr. O Loughlin came to Rome it was with the distinct un derstanding that he did not do so in Mr. Roosevelt's benair. out in Denair of his co-religionists in America, and that he did not carry any authoriza tion to subtract or add a word to Mr. Roosevelt's position as defined by his telegram to Mgr. Kennedy. METHODISTS ARE PLEASED. Wyoming Conference Sends a Cable gram to Colonel Roosevelt. Binghamton, N. T., April 4. For mer President Roosevelt s action m declining to meet the pope under any restrictions received the approval to day of the annual .session of the Wyo ming conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, when the following cablegram was sent to Colonel Roose velt in pursuance of a resolution intro duced by Rev. J. H. Race, president of Chattanooga university: "Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Rome. "Wyoming conference of the Metho dist Episcopal church in session at Binghamton, N. T.. April 4. 1910, heartily endorse the courteous, coura geous and eminently American spirit manifested toward the Vatican. as conveyed in the Associated Press cablegrams of this date, thus associ ating the names of 'Roosevelt and Fairbanks' as splendid samples of American courtesy, magnanimity and patriotism." CAUSES A SENSATION. Newspaper Comment Unfavorable to the Vatican. Rome, April 4. The determination of Mr. Roosevelt to forego an audience with Popo Pius X.. rather than sub scribe to the conditions imposed by the Vatican, has created a sensation This unfortunate and unexpected inci dent overshadows every other feature of the distinguished American's visit to the eternal city. The news that the former rjresiden had abandoned his proposed visit to tne Vatican reached the morning pa pers very late, but made a very deep impression. The Messagero, an anti clerical organ, alone comments edi torially on the matter. The paper says "When the news was spread it was received with Incredulity, many re garding- it as a malicious fabrication of the enemies of the Catholic church. but when confirmed It produced com ment disastrous to the Vatican. Men of every religion daily visit the pope without first giving the itinerary of the churches which they intend to visit. Why should the Vatican require Mr. Roosevelt to ignore the churches of his own religion during his short stay In Rome? The incident will not add to the diplomatic fame of the pope s advisers. "Mr. Roosevelt as the head of the great American republic, followed the principle enunciated by Premier Luz zattl, a free church, under a sovereign state." The Messagero places the responsl blllty ror what it terms a "blunder on the pope's entourage, continuing: "For it was a blunder to ask a cer tificate of acceptability from a man 11 lustrious everywhere for his intelli gence and nobleness of his life. The liberty which Mr. Roosevelt Is defend ing for all, he could not renounce for himself." After pointing out that a non-pos- eumus could have been given without the exchange of notes, the paper de clares that the whole incident fur nishes new proof of the "imperious ln- transigendism of Cardinal Merry Del al, and adds: "Could Mr. Roosevelt, a free citizen of his own country, renounce his lib erty in Rome for the sake of an audi ence with the pope? It is time the advisers of the pope should understand that a certain Imposition can not be exacted." TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, April 4. WHEAT Despite a predonderance of bearish news the wheat market developed moderate firm ness during early trading today owing to buying Inspired by continued dry weather in Kansas. An official forecast of clear weather in that state for the next 24 hours gave additional encour agement to the bulls.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 4,1910. ARE READY FOR OPENING State Fair Boosters Start Campaign for -Funds. Tomorrow. To the Men and Women Voters of Topeka: The eyes of the state and of the nation are on Topeka in this election. The people of this city are not going to elect as Mayor a man whose record has been uniformly against the enforcement of those laws and ordinances which have been the subject of discussion in this campaign, and who is pledged to do all he can for their repeal. The voters are not ignorant of the fact that the mayor and commissioners are not charged with the enforce ment of the laws and ordinances merely. It is understood that the mayor and commissioners constitute a law making body as well. They can repeal existing ordinances and make new ordinances. The record of my opponent, his present affiliations and his pledges, all make it certain that he would use his influence and his vote for the repeal of city ordinances which are believed by the majority of the people of this city to be of vital importance. If you, Mr. Voter, who believe in the prohibitory law and the city ordinances covering the sale of liquor, were a candidate for any office wTithin the gift of the pe ople, my opponent could riot vote for you. He is under pledge not to vote for you and to use his influence to accomplish your defeat. And yet he is asking for your vote at this election.. I cannot believe he will get it. Very respectfully, WILLIAM GR EEN .r--n.iilri Com-nencing tomorrow morning ami crminuing for three days the eampcign for the purpose of facing- SlGl'.OCG worth of Kansas State Frj- shares will be waged. A meetinsr c Ihe board of Ai- colors of the new enterprise wa he!d his noon to complete the d? tails of the smpaisn, and it wss the general onm ;u that the business men of the citv cnerally win become stockholders in he association as a business investment s well as to further the interests of Aansas and the capital city. Kere is a statement in regar'l to th proposition, authorized by J. W. Going, president, nrd H. L. Cook, secretary oi the Kansas Slate Fair association, :;;id T. A. Borman. -president, and Gen. S. Badders. secretary of the Topeka Loamerciai emo: x or several years we ha ve had a semblance of a state exposition in this slate but no real state fair. Last year the Topeka Commercial club; one of th-3 strongest" commercial organizations in the state, took hold of the proposition ?nd have reorganized the State Fair association, and this fall we expect to put on an agricultural and live stock exposition that will be a credit to the city of Topeka and the state of Kan sas. 'W e have organized with a capital ization of $200,000. and are offering for sale $100,000 worth of this stock. Large blocks of stock are being taken by Topeka- business men.

E. Myers and the local stock holders in the Topeka Railway com pany disposed of all of their holdings in the recent sale of tnat property, an nounced in the State Journal some days ago, to the McKinley Syndicate of Illinois. It is understood that the stockhold ers received 90 cents net a share, the consideration being 95 cents. The local stockholders who sold their interests are Joab Mulvane, John R. Mulvane, W. A. L. Thompson, M. A. Low, Thomas Page, J. E. Hur ley and C. S. Gleed. There will be a meeting of the di rectors of the company in Topeka tomorrow. I am surprised to see the morning paper place me in the list of those who are not supporters of lav and order, and by doing so attempt to poison the mind of the public. This is decidely unkind and un true. My replies to the morning paper's questions were very emphatic in favor of law and order, and the suppression of lawlessness and vice. Statements that I have asked any of our citizens to support Mr. Billard or Mr. Green, are false in every particular. I have refrained from taking sides with either candidate for mayor. I have always stood for building up Topeka in place of tearing it down or standing still and for the extension of our car lines while others have blocked the wheels of progress by opposing it. I want your vote because I stand for these prin ciples. J simply will not compromise my principles jor the sake of office. Very Truly Yours M. C. Holman LOCAL MENTION.

Brumitt, Mrs. George Brumitt and Master War ren Brumitt, As rapidly as possible the obstruc tions in the way of excavating for the south extension- of Melan bridge are be ing moved out of the way. The gas company's pipes have been set to the west side of the street, the poles of the Edison company have been set to the east. The waterworks mains which are laid through the center of Kansas avenue will be relaid a few feet fur ther east. A trench is being dug for that purpose. The street railway com pany are making preparations to get their tracks out of the way. It is like ly that they will be located a short distance further east and temporarily laid on sleepers. At present the excavating Is being done with hand shovels. In the near future a "clam shell" scoop shovel will be rigged up. This shovel will have the capacity of a cubic yard of earth. The south piers of the old iron "King" bridge, the successor of the pontoon bridge and predecessor of the Melan bridge, have been uncovered by the diggers. The abutments are about 90 feet back from the present bank. The land between has been filled in when the Melan was built. This was done in 1868-1870. The In crease of business called for a new structure in place of the pontoon. On November 20, 1868, the city council di rected the mayor to issue a proclama tion calling an election for December 11 of that year, to vote on issuing $100,000 worth of bonds for the construction :.f an iron bridge across the Kaw. How ever, it seems that the proclamation was not issued or an election held. About this time Joshua Knowles and Dr. D. W. Stormont and others, who had been interested in the old pontoon bridge, proposed to erect a new iron structure if the city would subscribe $25,000 capital stock or endorse the bridge company's bonds to that amount. The council declined but gav the men permission to build. Finally Mortimer Cook bought the bridge com pany's charter. He built a 900 foot iron bridge, practically completing it in 1869 but it was not opened for traffic until the spring of 1870. Toll was paid for its use until 1871. Then the city and county bought the bridge for $100,000, each naviner half. The iron bridge was superseded by the Melan bridge Which was consider able shorter at both ends than the other.

HAPPENED 40 YEARS AGO Justice Brewer's Experience With Vic tor Murdock Near Wicfilta. New York, April 4. Letter carriers here have begun an active camDaisrn in the interest of their movement for a day of rest each week, a reduction of Sunday work to a minimum and com pensatory time off during the week for those who must work on Sunday. New York preachers are. supporting the movement and the officers of the Na tional Lord's Day alliance announce that they will attempt to persuade the present congress to enact a law giv ing the carriers a day of rest. Beer Makers Strike. Rochester. N. Y., AdH1 4. Between 450 and 500 employes of the novpn breweries in this city went on strike today in an effort to enforce demands for higher wages, shorter hours and radical changes in working conditions. Washington, April 4. A story Is told at the capitol of the meeting of Justice Brewer and Representative Victor Mur- dock of Kansas, when Murdock first cp me to congress. Many years ago Jus tice Brewer was a county Judge in Kansas. Traveling one day in a stage coach, he met a man. accompanied by his wife and a red-haired -2-year-old boy. The judge became acquainted with the father and mother, and insisted that the boy was a fine chap who would surely n ake his mark in the world. The proud parents beamed appreciation, and the Judge reached for the infant and took him on his lap. Instantly there was insurrection: .The prodigy didn't propose to be Jollied. Ha kicked the Judge viciously, and finally, reaching out a very dtcnnincd little raw, sciatched the Judge's countenance. Three sharp little nails scraped off three furrows of skin, and there was great concern and a very small trille of real bloodshed. Years later at a White House recep tion Justice Brewer walked up to a young man and said: "I am Justice Brewer: mav I a.ik your name?" "I am Victor Murdock of your own state of Kansas and I am very glad to meet you, sir." replied the your.g man. Well." said the Judge. "I was sure you were the one. Yo rre the red head ed brat that scratched all the skin off my face in the fetage coach near Wich ita about 40 years ago. Young man you're in contempt of court, and if you ever get before me in due Judicial form 1 11 make you smart for it." AERO CLUB'S NEW RULE Spectators Must Keep 400 Yards Dis tant Krom Aeroplanes.

"When a Topeka audience will remain seated at the conclusion of a play at the Grand and applaud so vigorously that two final curtains must be run up in order to appease the appreciation, something out of the ordinary In the atricals has been presented. That was done at the Grand on Saturday night at the production of The Climax, which proved to be one of the theatrical treats of this and all other seasons. Nothing more delightful In the way of a play has ever been presented here. It was one of those satisfying things that come along once ever so seldom, and it is unfortunate for the host of lov ers of the drama In the city that more f them were not on hand to eee a clean, virile, thouaht-compelliug story presented by master workers in the the atrical profession. Unusual in many particulars, as the atrical productions go. telling a story of the unhackneyed type, strong in dra matic situation and a throb with hu man lrterest. The Climax is a play that Is going to live long and gain fame for its writer and producer, and es pecially as long as It is produced by such capable performers as now make up the company. Miss Leona Watson, Howard Lange, Walter Dale ar.d Thos. Fallon, who represent the only four characters in the piece, are credited with being the original ccst which pre sented the play with such tremendous success in New York and wherever it has appeared. It is almost impossible that this statement can be the vagary of a press agent. Anyhow, If it Is not the original cast, the original was not any better. And then, too, actors cap able of presenting this play are not to be found easily. Not only must two of them, those presenting the roles of Ade line von Hagen. and tne son of the old music master, be actors of extreme ability, especially as regards the fem inine character, but they must also be musicians of high capabilities. Miss rWatson. as Adeline, meets the demands Trade cn her It-, superb fashion. She Is not only an actress of distinction, skilled to a degree in the technique of her profession, but she has a magnifl-, cent oorano voice, and more than that, she knows how to sing. Walter Dale, interpreting the music master's son. is also a clever actor and really Bhines as a pianist. As for Howard Lunge, his delineation, of the character of the music master, is as fine a. piece of char acter work in a difficult role, as any one could present, not even excepting David Warfield. who presented a sim ilar character in the Music Master with such popular approval. There is a tnrauing situation in me eecond act when Adeline finds she has lost her marvellous voice through an operation that had been performed to perfect it and she and her friends be lieve the talent that was going to make her famous has been taken away for all time. At this point one of the v. omen in the audience at the Grand at the matinee fainted. Miss Watson said that this made the twenty-sixth woman who had thus fainted at that particular part of the play since the company left New York some three months ago.

Voters Cfcr f the me During the past week the friends of MAYOR GREEN have indulged in one of the most bitter and scur rilous tirades against the reputation of a citizen of Topeka who has seen fit to exercise his constitutional right to become a candidate for the highest office within the gift of the voters of Topeka, and a man who believed that when the friends of the COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT said at the time that they were seeking votes that we wanted to elect or hire, as it were, men to preside over the destinies of our City who were capable and honest business men; that we wanted to eliminate political parties and factions, and in fact, wanted to place our city government upon a purely business plane to be run by competent men just as any large corporation is run with a view to always secure the largest return with the least possible expense this man, believing these advocates of the Commission Form of Government sincere, and believing that he filled these requirements as did thousands of other voters including those who are denouncing him most, yet who do not find it possible to say aught against his honesty and integrity, decided to become a candidate for Mayor at the primaries, and when it was discovered on-last Tuesday morning that J. B. Billard had led both of his competitors by a tremendous majority in the primary, and that a business man was likely to succeed to the office of Mayor, the dead issue of "Wet and Dry" was immediately injected into the campaign. We deprecate the unfair and malicious attacks of the Daily Capital and their studied efforts to mislead and deceive the voters of Topeka, whose vote of confidence, so to speak, in Mr. Billard at the primary, indi cated by a large majority the preference of the people of this City. We feel that the Capital has misled and attempted to deceive the good women of this City by attempt ing to convince them by unfair representations that Mr. Billard, if elected, would immediately open up the joints, whereas under the existing laws and the Commission Form of Government, and the principles therein involved, the idea of such action is worse than absurd. In this connection the Topeka Daily State Journal in its issue of Tuesday evening, March 29th, 1910, editorially said "Mr. Billard has achieved distinction in the business world, and is a man of high attainments. His personal integrity is of the unquestioned sort. He is a respecter of law and order, and many individuals who have voted for him with the idea that his election will mean a wide-open town, liquorally speaking, are likely to get sadly fooled in the event of his elevation to the mayoralty. Nobody who knows Mr. Billard will believe that he will disregard any of 3 the laws, and then there is a state administration which has a habit of making it mighty uncomfortable for mayors who look lightly on the prohibitory statute. Nor must the fact be lost sight of that county officials are still on deck who have a mind to see that all the laws are enforced. If anybody has an idea that Topeka is soon going to be infested with openly run joints, no matter how the election of Tuesday comes out, he is counting his chickens before they are hatched." This true statement of the State Journal is worthy of the sincere consideration of every voter in the City of Topeka. We likewise feel that the action of the Ministerial Union has been brought about by the same method of deception on the part of the DAILY CAPITAL". "We do not question the sincerity of these gentlemenbut are convinced that a mole hill has been magnified into a mountain. The Daily Capital, by false and mis leading statements regarding Mr. Billard and his intentions have strenuously sought to prejudice the members of the Ministerial Union and hope through them to influence their congregations, thereby placing the Union in an unenviable position and perverting the purposes for which a Ministerial Union should stand. A very unkind and groundless assault upon Mr. Billard comes from a few members of an ancient organization known as the Committee of 200, who profess to be acting for all the people of the City of Topeka. A leading member has announced in the Capital for March 30th' that "The work of the committee of 200 is to act for the people in all campaigns or other issues in which the liquor question is in volved. The campaign of the committee will be made against Billard on that question." 4,174 citizens of this City, by voting for Mr. Billard at the primary have indicated, that they feel amply able to cast their ballot at the coming election without the aid of this self -constituted committee, and we certainly feel that the balance of the voters will do the same thing on election day. And now, VOTERS, in all the stories that have been printed and spoken during the past week, not one word has been said about the POWER OP RECALL, and you will remember that in the campaign for the adoption of the commission form of govememnt, great stress was laid on the point that if any officer elected under this law should prove faithless to his trust, that 25 per cent of the people would petition his recall. Which section of the law reads as follows: "The holder of any elective office may be removed at any time by the electors qualified to vote for a successor of such incumbent. The procedure to effect the removal of an incumbent of an elective office shall be as follows: A petition signed. by the electors entitled to vote for a successor to the incumbent sought to be removed equal in number to at least twenty-five percentum of the entire vote for all candidates for office of mayor at the last preceding general municipal elec tion, demanding an election of a successor of the person sought to be removed, shall be filed with the city clerk, which petition shall contain a general statement of the grounds for which the removal is sought." And now in conclusion, voters, do you believe that a man who has been resident of our city and county for over fifty years, who has always dealt with his fellow men fairly and honestly, who has conducted himself at all times in a dignified and upright man ner, and who believes and practices the Golden Rule to "Do unto others as you would be done by," will, in one short year, undo all that he has built up by years of righteous living, and with one fell stroke make himself a man to be despised by all lawabiding people? Respectfully submitted, BY IEKDS OF 1 BILLMD
