SPITZER TURNS UP Man Who Was Sent to Prison for Sugar Frauds Appears as Witness at the Trial of Heike. IS PARDONED BY TAFT. In Order That He May Be Com petent to Testify. Shows the Court Just How Un derweighing Was Done. New York, May 23. The trump card in the prosecution of Charles R. Heike, tecretary of the American Sugar Refin ing company, wfs played at the sugar trust underweighing conspiracy trial today, when Prosecutor Stimson called as the government's first witness, Oli ver Spitzer, superitnendent of the WiHiansburg docks, who some months ago, was convicted of underweighing F.nd sentenced to two years In the fed eral penitentiary at Atlanta. When Spitzer took the ttand John B. Stanchfield for the defense, claimed Oat uader the federal statute Spitzer, a convicted man couid not testify. The sensation of the trial was then created by the declaration in court that Spitzer had been pardoned by President Taft. Heike is on trial in the United States district court with five former employes of the American Sugar Refining com pany on the charge of conspiring to de fraud the government by underweighins csreoes of sugar imports. Witnesses have testified to the dis covery of fraudulent devices on Ihe su gar docks at Williamsburg whereby, it was alleged, employes of the socailed tugar trust manipulated the scales so as to bring about underweights. On evi "tnce -if Ric.iard Parr, a government inspector who made a raid on the su gar docks in November, 1907, and oth ers, Spitzer, who was the dock superin tendent at the time and for some years previous, was convicted with four checkers employed under him of con nection with the conspiracy to perpe irate frauds whereby the government was cheated out of millions of dollars in sugar duties. The four checkers, Boyle, Coyle, Kohoe and Hcni.esEy, were sent to the Blackwell's Island penitentiary for a year. Spitzer got two years in Atlanta. He iprotested ignorance of. frauds on the cl ocks. The Man "Higher Up." Men "higher ur" were sought and Heike. the 'secretary of the trust, and Ernest F. Gerbracht, the refinery fcuperiniendent, were iniicled. With them ori trial now, besides four other former company chtekcrs is James F. Bentiernagel, the refinery cashier, who was tri3d with Spitzer and the others. The jury disagreed as to whether Ben t'emagol had a part in the conspiracy tind it was decided to retry hir.i. As Spitzer testified to the under weighing frauds on the docks it was developed that President Taft granted him an unconditional pardon on May 19. Spitzer went back to the years 1894 and 1895. when, he said, an investiga tion he made developed the fact that the checkers were affecting the weiarhts on raw sugar by placing small bags of lead on the beams of the scales, causing the recorded weignts to drop below the actual often as much as 40 pounds on each draft. In addition. Spitzer said it was also the practice to stuff paper underneath the floors of the scales for the same purpose. He said that when Deputy Surveyor of Customs Vail took office these devices were abandoned and the use of the steel spring was begun and continued. It was said before Spitzer got well into his testimony that he would make a clean breast of the frauds alleged to have been committed in the underweighing of raw sugar on the Williamsburg docks. Shows How It Worked. Spitzer demonstrated in court the use of the bags of lead. He walked over to the sample scale, which is one of the government's ex hibits in the case, and indicated on the beam the place where the bag was suspended. The jury and the defend ants and everybody in the court room followed his demonstration with the closest attention. Testifying regarding the use of the wire spring which superseded the bag of lead, Spitzer said two styles of spring were used, a heavy one first and then a spring con siderably lighter in weight. Spltzer's testimony regarding the weight lessening device of the news papers underneath the scale was a new development. Heike listened to Spltzer's testimony with t-nse interest. Spitzer talked freely about the frauds by which the government was robbed of millions of dollars. He said the use of the steel springs was stopped after the sugar trust had paid the rebate to the government as a re sult of the federal suit. "Did you arrange a system of signal lights in the scale house?" suddenly asked the prosecutor. "Yes, sir," replied Spitzer, who then related that the signals were used to warn the weighers of any sudden dan ger. "How were the lights worked?" "By a switch in my oPice," rvd Spitzer. who said that the switch was turned whenever a government official was seen to approach. Installed Red Lights. Spitzer said an electric light had been used in the scale houses for many years, but that he made a change in the signal system by installing red lights. In re rly to an interropation of the prosecu tion if he had ever reported the weigh ing frauds to any one Spitzer replied he had Informed a man named Leroy. v ho worked in the Wall street office of the susar trust. Spitzer told of conversations he had with former Cashier James F. Bender l i'gel and ex-Superintendent Frank W. Gerbracht. two of the defendants. The witness said whtn he wanted to raise Eny of the checkers' wages he was obliged to put the matter before Ben f.ernagel and Gerbracht. He also con firmed the testimony of other witnesses that the checkvrs of the government weighers were favorites over hose of the city weighers in the matter of wages. He said every effort possible mas made to conceal this from the oth er workers on the dock. Spitser said in the fall he received a iicj?hone message which caused a let- ting up in the frauds. He said he did not know who sent the message, which v.arned him to be careful of the wire springs as the government was watch ing the docks. Spitzer said following the raid in No Vf-mber. 1907, by the government he was informed by Mr. Gerbracht that the weighers and himself would be taken care cf. "When the six weighers were dis charged what happened?" "I paid them the same wages every week at my home," replied Mr. Spit zer, who said the money was given him f ach week by Mr. Gerbracht. who left it in a package at his garage. "When did this money cease'.'" "When I was sentenced last Febru ary." answered Mr. Spitzer. Spitzer said he knew Secretary Heike, but did not connect him in any way with knowledge of th? false weighing. Cross-examination of the witness was deferred. Prosecutor Stimson said Spitzer be came cens-cious stricken while in prison and desired to tell all he knew of the alleged frauds. THE FLYING MACHINES. To Be at Topeka on State Fair Grounds June 7, 8 and 9. People of the middle west must not overlook the enterprise of Topeka in being able to procure this great avia tion meet. Endless .expense is being involved and efforts for the comfort of the thousands who will attend are be ing looked after now. It is confidently expected that this aviation meet will be one of the greatest advertisements that Kansas ever had. It is a state wide affair. The Curtiss flying ma chines that will daily make flights are the tour and eight cylinder aeroplanes that won the prizes at Los Angeles during the international aviation meet there. They are wonderful pieces of mechanism. Your curiosity must be great, but your anxiety to get here greater, because you may never get such another opportunity to see at close range one of these flying ma chines, the coming mode of aerial navigation, in our time CHILDREN FACE DEATH. Caught on Trestle by Train Boy Saves Girl's Life. Plainfield, N. J.. May 23. Hazel Hendricks and Albert Hurling, two 8-year-old Plainfield children, owe their lives to the boy's quick presence of mind in an emergency today. The two were crossing a railroad trestle when a fast train approached. There was not time for them to escape from the bridge and young Hurling quickly threw his terrified girl companion prone on the ties, crouching down close beside her and holding her tight to the heavy cross pieces. One hun dred bystanders at the station, five hundred feet away, shuddered, fear ing the children would be killed, but after the train passed both jumped up unharmed. AN ECLIPSE TONIGHT. Moon Will Be Obscured From 9:30 to 1 A. M. There will be an eclipse of the moon tonight visible at 9:30 and continuing until 1 o'clock a. m. The shadow of the earth on the moon will begin to ap pear to the people of Topeka about 9:30 or 9:35 o'clock. By 10:40 o'clock the face of the lunar body will be covered entirely. By 1 o'clock the eclipse will have passed. The eclipse will be visible from about the center of the Atlantic ocean to the Hawaiian islands. POLITICALGOSSIP. Another Guess on First District Conditions. This One Claims Every County for Anthony. HIS MAJORITY AT 6,000 Nearly Three Thousand of This in Leavenworth. The Vote Two Tears Ago Used for Comparison. There is a Dan Anthony supporter here in Topeka who makes even stronger medicine than the McNeal traveling man who estimated a 1,200 McNeal majority last Friday. This Anthony man gets right up on his toes and claims 6,000 majority for the tall congressman next August. And more than this, he claims every county in ths first district for Anthony, including Shawnee, McNeal's home county, by 200 majority. In an interview given out today, this politician, who is well known over the district, says: "Anthony's majority over McNeal in the primary in August will be in the neighborhood of 6,000. I have travel ed over the district seven times in con gressional and national delegate con tests and am familiar with conditions in nearly all of the 226 voting pre cincts and I never found the Republi cans lined up so strongly as they are for the renomination of Anthony. "McNeal started bad with his cam paign in putting out a platform mak ing the surrender of the Philippine Islands his leading issue. His speeches finding fault with President Taft and criticising the national administration have proven very unpopular with Re publicans, many of whom look upon his course as a bid for support outside the party to control the congressional nomination. I have radically different estimates on majorities from those published from a 'well known travel ing man' in the Journal Friday even ing. A close poll in five counties with reliable information on the others shows that Anthony will carry all the eight counties of the district by ma jorities as follows: Atchison 1,000 Brown 300 Doniphan 800 Jackson 300 Jefferson 300 Nemaha 300 Shawnee 200 Leavenworth 2,800 Total t 6,000 "The First district Republicans are firm standpatters to start with. Neither Populists or Insurgents ever secured: a good hold in the" district. In the pri mary contest two years ago the highest Republican vote cast was 19,450 on gov ernor; when Leland received 10,825 and Stubbs 8.625: Leland carrying the dis trict by 2,200 majority. "At the same primary election Mc Neal, running for state printer, re ceived 8,091 votes; 534 less than Stubbs and away short of half the full Repub lican vote of 19.450 cast in the district. McNeal received a plurality, but not a majority vote over his opponents for state printer in the district, the total of which amounted to 16,208 votes, or 3,12 less than the number of Republicans who voted for governor. "The official records show that An thony Is a vote getter. In the same primary, with no congressional contest on or attempt to get a big vote for Anthony 15,156 Republicans cast their ballots for him while only 3,438 votes were cast for Pearl, the Democratic COUNTING- THEIR MAJORITIES. The Most Popular Outdoor Sport In candidate. At this primary election Anthony received the votes of 7,065 more Republicans than McNeal, who made an active canvass and claimed everything as he does now. "The vote for Anthony and McNeal by counties in the First district two years ago, showing their standing with Republicans, was as follows: Anthony. McNeal. Atchison 1,536 586 Brown 1,464 772 Doniphan 1.200 429 Jackson 1,547 912 Jefferson 1.334 706 Leavenworth 2,536 682 Nemaha 981 417 Shawnee 4,558 3,587 Totals 15,156 8,091 "The vote on governor in the eight counties of the First district was as follows: Leland. Stubbs. Atchison 1,371 536 Brown 857 895 Doniphan 1,119 477 Jackson 780 1,054 Jefferson 492 1,044 Leavenworth 2,569 720 Nemaha 653 427 Shownee 2,984 3.472 Totals 10,825 8,625 Additional testimony is given in favor of Anthony and in protest against the McNeal figure of last week .by A. D. Jones of Mayetta. Jackson county. Mr. Jones writts as follows regarding what he calls the absurdity of the McNeal claims for his county: "Being amused at the prophecies of a certain traveling man in Friday's State Journal as to McNeal's majori ties in the First district. I can not re frain from commenting on the condi tions here. As to the other counties, I can not say. but so far as Jackson is concerned McNeal is considered as a Joke. Instead of getting 200 majority here, he will be lucky if he gets 200 votes in the county. If cenditions are the same in other parts of the district as here, McNeal will not even carry Shawnee, his home county." Here is a Garden Citv view of Tom Wagstaff, who spent last week in Fin nev county, according to the Tele gram, published in that citv: "The universal verdict of those who were closely watching for Tom Wag staff here and wanted to see him make good is that h will do. "They are emphatic about this. Wagstaff is uch a clean, clearheaded, honest, aggressive, intelligent young fellow that ha just takes. There is nothing of slush or grandstand about Tom Wagstaff. He will do. "Garden City and Finney county liked this fine young fellow, and it will be surprising if he does -not get a splendid vote here. "The days of the reign of the Great Triumvirate are nearly at an end in Kansas. Garden City. Finney county, and the west end appreciate that fact. Keep your eye on this young chap, this clean young fellow from Mont gomery county, for he's; going to sur prise you." TRADING AT A LOW EBB. New 'Xibrk Stock Slarjset Has Very Dull Week. New Yerk. May 23. Dealings in stocks last week fell to the low est rate of activity touched since July of 1908. The interruption of mourning observances for the late king of England was one cause of dullness. Another was the doubts raised over the success of the former ly reported sales of American bonds to foreigners. These doubts and the large requirements on the London money market for payment of deferred British taxes carried foreign exchange rates upwards again towards the gold export point. Opinions have been hopeful over crop prospects and improved feeling will be reported over the iron and steel trade positions. the First Congressional Distri BOY SHOOTS BOY. Nine- ear-Old Arthur C. James Dies by Bullet. Is Shot Down by Peter Eopar, Twelve Years of Age. QUARRELED OVER HAT Lad Said to Have Confessed to Deed Held by Sheriff. Inquest at Rossville, Friday, Next Many Witnesses. Arthur C. James, the nine-year-old son of Robert James, a farmer, living six miles north of Rossville, was shot and "killed Sunday evening at 6 o'clock by Peter Kopar, a neighbor lad of -12 years, who when arrested admitted having fired the shot, and said he had quarreled with the James boy over a hat. The arrest of the Kopar boy was made by Sheriff J. D. Norton and Coroner H. H. Keith, who left for the scene of the tragedy at midnight Sun day night and began the investigation which was completed this morning. The dead boy's parents and neigh bors had only a story of mystery when the officers alighted at Rossville, having gotten authority to stop the Union Pacific train there. The lad was playing in the road they said. The father, who is a juror this term in the Shawnee district court, was home for the day. He was in the house when he heard a scream and running out found his boy lying in the road, bleed ing from the' left hand and with a bul let hole in his abdomen. The thumb had been partially torn off by the bullet. Dr. William Frisbey of Delia was called but death had come to the boy who never was able to give any in formation about the trouble. Shots had been heard in the timber throughout the day and it w-as the theory that th-3 bow had accidentally been shot by some careless hunter. When daylight came this morning, however, the officers started out for a thorough investigation. Locating the spot in the road where the boy was shot by blood stains, they found tracks of bare feet in the soft muddy ground and followed them to the home of young Kopar. The boy murderer, when confronted with the fact that his bare feet fitted the tracks in the muddy road, confessed to the killing, said he shot his victim with a .32 caliber rifle and gave as his cause for the deed, that he had quarreled with the James boy over a hat. Second Arrest Is Made. Another boy, Charles Mataya, and of the same ae as Kopar, is held by the sheriff. He is the son of a neighbor of James and has confessed to having fur nished the cartridge for young Kopar to do the shooting. Kopar owned his own rifle. At the latest advice from Sheriff Norton, he had not learned what the quarrel over the hat had been. The Mataya boy is said to have been mixed in the row as well as the other boys and will be implicated in the mur der for furnishing the cartridges with malicious intent. Both the Kopar and Mataya boys will be brought to Topeka this evening by Sheriff Norton and Dr. Keith, arriving here about 5 o'clock. The parents of the youths will accompany them and arrange for their bonds so they may take them home. The killing is said by Col. Norton to have caused no feud between the two families of James and Kopar, but that they consider it as only a youthful row among the boys which ended in a tragedy. The incident, nevertheless, has caused a great deal of excitement in the com munity where it had been thought to have been but an accidental shooting by some careless hunter. The officers have summoned a cor orner's Jury and subpoanaed a large number of witnesses to testify in the inquest which will be held Friday in Rossville. AT FAIR GROUNDS. Decided to Hold Aviation Meet There.. Fred Voiland, representing the North Topeka committee, today Informed the board of managers of the state fair, that the proposition made to hold the Aviation Meet In North Topeka on the Taylor tract had been withdrawn. The board of managers this afternoon accordingly at a meeting at which all the board were present, decided unani mously to hold the meeting at the state fair grounds on the daites selected, June'" One of the most serious obstacles in the way of the place for the fly ing machines on the North side was the transportation problem: the sin gle track of the street railway lines, the present repairs on the Melan arch bridge and the bridging of Soldier creek that would have been necesary. THEY WANT WESTON. Panama Walking Enthusiasts Trying to Get the Champion. New York, May 23. Walking en thusiasts among the Americans in Panama have invited Edward Payson Weston to come to the Isthmus for an attempt there at breaking the pedes trian record form the Atlantic to the Pacific and back again, a total distance of 96 miles. Weston has not indicated whether his response will be favorable. walking in the tropics is not so easy as in the temperate zone. Many of the young Americans in Panama have tried the transisthmian walk and have given it up after the first sixteen or twenty miles. Those who have suc cessfully completed it can be number ed on the fingers of one hand, it is said. The fastest time for the walk from Panama to Colon, a distance of 48 miles, was made on May g by Edward Sllvey of Colon, who covered the ground in ten hours and nineteen min utes, defeating J. P. L. Taylor of An con. The mayor of Panama started Silvey on his way from the American wharf to Colon at 5:15 su m., and Taylor at 6 a. m. The mayor of Colon met both men at the fire department wharf at Colon, Taylor's time being 12 houra and 20 minutes. SLIDE IN WHEAT. Decline Is Caused by Actnal Delivery of the Goods. Chicago, May 23. A determined drive at prices in the wheat pit today led by a prominent Chicago house smashed the quotations for the May option 4 cents to $1.06 a bushel. Heavy selling by foreigners through agents in this market had much to do with the big slide downward. Business, however, was chiefly in the September and othr new crop futures. The Chicago firm which was con spicuous on the selling side today has been popularly believed to be opposed to an Albany, N. Y., speculator who was credited with having a tight hold on the slide of the May deal here. The Chicago firm adopted the unusual course of bringing huge quantities of wheat here from Duluth and settling by delivering the actual grain rather than pay differences on prices fixed by comparatively light transactions In the pit on 'change. The stream of wheat by -water from the north continued uninterrupted to day, although somewhat delayed by an accident blocking the Neebish chan nel near Sault Ste. Mane. GOLD TROPHY PRIZE.

Wants Kansas Represented at Roose velt Reception. Washington, May 23. Senator J. L. Bristow of Kansas is anxious that his state should be well represented at the reception of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in New York June 18. "It is only DroDer." he said vesterdav. "that the reception of Theodore Roose velt on June 18, when he returns from a triumphant tour through Europe and a well earned vacation from the wilda of Africa should be the most cordial and tre mendous ever tendered to an American. I have not the slightest doubt that it will equal that accorded General Grant upon his return from his famous trip around the world more than thirty years ago and woum not oe surprised u it surpasses any ovation recorded In history. Roosevelt stood for big things and he fought for them. He was the one man we had been needing and his work is imperishable. "It Is ratifying to know that this is to be a non-partisan reception. Our only living ex-president and most distinguish ed private citizen is the common friend of us all. He has been feted and other wise honored by the kings and common ers of the Old World; he has been the dis tinguished lecturer at the leading uni versities of Europe and has done much to further the prestige of this country. I sincerely hope that the proper committees in the cities of my state will communicate with the Roosevelt reception committee in New York and see that she is as well represented as she should be."

Patrolman Holmes was standing In Main street early in the morning when Kline clad in white, loomed up out of the fog and passed him with the speed of the wind, shouting that he was being pursued by the tail of Halley's comet. Holmes called after him and the man stopped and began to pray. Kline is well known here as a churchman. He began his observations of the comet some time ago and after wards went through the negro colony warning his brethren to prepare for the end of the world on May 18. USE BLACK JEWELRY.

St. Joseph at Sioux City. Formerly of Topeka "Rip" Hager man was a pitcher against the locals Sunday. The big Z. Z. is back with Lincoln sure enough. If the big fel low ever gets to going like he went when with Cooley some batters over the Western league will echo former Ground Tender Danberry's cries of "Where's the ball?" The passing of "Z. Z." from the big leagues was not hailed with glad acclaim here. He has a lot of friends among the fans. It remained for Thomason to make the only error Sunday. But Thomason made a single to even up for it. And you know how Tommy tries to even up with something against which he has a grudge every time he swings at the ball. The team returns this week after the series with Lincoln and Thursday opens with St. Joseph for a series of four contests. This will be the first clash between the two teams this year and there should be a big crowd at RAILR0AD NEWS. How Orient Is Pushing Its Way to the Pacific Ocean. Will Be Shortest Line Missouri Kiver to Coast. T0W5S SPUING UP. Road Touches and Advances Prosperous Country. Other Items of General Interest in Kailroad World. Washington, May 23. A new trans continental railway is being quietlp built between Kansas City and Topolo bampo, Mexico, about 'which we see very little in the newspapers, says Wil liam C. Curtis. It is already threa fourths completed and two thirds of the distance is In operation. It will De the shortest line between the Missouri river and the Pacific ocean 518 miles shorter than the Union Pacific and 700 miles shorter than the Burlington or Rock Island routes, which are the shortest lines at present. The new Kansas city, Mexico orient rail road, as it is called, starting from Kan sas City, passes through the southeast ern corner of Kansas, touching Em poria, Wichita and Anthony, divides Oklahoma almost in half, bisects the western section of Texas, crosses the Rio Grande at Presidio del Norte, and then runs via Chihuahua to the port of Topolobampo, which is near the mouth of the Gulf ot California, a short dis tance above Mazatlan. Topolobampo has the most advan tageous and convenient harbor on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and indeed it is the only one that is well protected. All the other harbors are open to the western gales, and sometimes steamers are not able to discharge or receive cargoes on account of the weather. At Topolobampo vessels can lie up against a dock, entirely protected on all sides. Some years ago an American company started a socialist colony at that point, but it expired after a brief existence with disastrous results to those who participated in the movement. The Orient, as it familiarly known, runs through an entirely new country for a distance of 1,650 miles, and in stead of paralleling established roads, it will cross several important lines, with which its management can doubt less make traffic arrangements of mu tual value. At Emporia it crosses the Missouri Pacific; at Wichita and at Anthony it crosses the Santa Fe; the Fort Worth Denver at Chilicothe; the Texas Pacific at Sweetwater; a branch of the Santa Fe at San Angelo, and the Southern Pacific at Pisano Summit. In Mexico it crosses the Mex ican Central at Chihuahua; at San Bias the new Harriman road which runs south from Arizona, parallel with the Pacific, and the Chihuahua Pa cific at Mlnlaca. More tha,n thirty new towns with populations eiTX.660, to, 2,500 have sprung tip along the tracks in Oklahoma.- All of -rVterrr lare agricultural -settlements, and the population re practical farm ers. In Texas as many more new towns have started up on the virgin soil. Where a few years ago was open prai rie of doubtful agricultural possibili ties, with here and there a ranch houso and a herd of cattle, are .now fields of wheat, corn and" cotton, inclosed by fences, with farm houses, bams and shade trees on every quarter section. No part of the country has ever been settled so rapidly or by a better class of homesteaders than have taken up farms along the line of the Orient road In Oklahoma. They brought money with them. Very little human drift wood lodged along the right of way. This fact will be demonstrated when the census enumerators report upon th-3 development of a section of about 80C, 000 acres between Wichita, Kan., and Sweetwater, Tex., which is already un der plough and is supporting 32 enter prising towns. NEW SANTA FE BRIDGES. Road Lets Contract for Two New Mas sive Structures. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe has let a contract for two bridges on its Lometa extension, one over the Colorado river and the other over the San Saba river, near the town of San Saba, Tex. The Colorado river bridge will be constructed of concrete and steel.. There will be three concrete piers 64 feet in' height. The steel work will consist of One 200-foot truss, one 100-foot deck girder and one 60-foot deck girder. On the" west approach to the bridge there will be a trestle ap proach 1.000 feet in length. The San Saba bridge will also be of concrete and steel. There will be one concrete abutment and twp concrete piers. The steel work will consist of one 100-foot through girder and one 60-foot through girder. This bridge will have a trestle approach of 800 feet. SANTA I K CLOSING GAPS. Only Two Links Unfinished Between Denver and Gulf. The most recent folders cf the Santa Fe contain the dotted lines indicating the proposed right of way of' the new Denver to the Gulf main line of the Santa Fe. About three-fourths of the line between Denver and Galveston is already built, only two connecting links remaining to be built before the Santa Fe will have almost as direct a route between these two terminals, Denver and Galveston, as the Colorado Southern. These two links that are now to be completed within the next year extend between French and the opener. George Sharitt voiced the proper sentiments two weeks ago when he said that every fan should at tend the first 'game played by the lo cals when they return. Let's show the team that the town is for it, first, last and all the time. Burnum has been sold by the Des Moines club to 'the Freeport team of the Northern association. Burnum's days in the Western league class of ball seem to have- ended. The big fel low looks very much "all in." Cooley is expected home sometime today. According to a letter received last week it. was 'riot his intention to stay for the Lincoln series. Last year the team wow more games with Cooley away than it did with him on the bench. May the same good luck rtill follow. Just now would be a very nice time for the team to even up for the "jabs" they have received from the Lincoln News. If there is anything, mean the Lincoln News scribe has not said about Topeka and the team he must have overlooked it.

President of Argentine Republic Will Have Luxurj. A magnificent private car. said to he the most sumptuous railroad coach ever constructed, has been sent from England to South America for the use of the president of Argentine -Republic. The June number of Popular Mechanics contains a description .and illustrations of the car. It says: "The coach is 78 feet long and 10 Vi feet wide, and is constructed of steel. The exterior is painted in cream with gold and blue lining, the national. Ar gentine colors. At one end is the presi dent's day saloon, a compartment 17 feet 3 inches long, decorated in the Louis XVI style, with green silk pan els and carpet. At one end of this is a real fireplace with mirror above and means for ventilation. The roof is tastefully carved. Adjoining this com partment is a bedroom also fitted with green carpet and upholstery, and fur nished with a bedstead finished in old gold, with the Argentine coat-of-arms at the foot. The bedroom has three doors, one leading to the day saloon, one to the corridor which runs along the side, and one to the bath room. By locking anV one of these doors, all become locked. The bath room 1s provided with a 'needle bath,' and is finished in marble with silver-plated fittings. The upper panels are of enam eled metal, and the floor is covered with India rubber and cork mats. "The next compartment is a study or library, finished in mahogany, with red leather chairs and a red carpet. Next to the studv are two more bed rooms, upholstered with French gray silk panels, the general scheme being white, with green leather chairs and carpets. These two rooms have one bath room. A kitchen and attend ants' compartment take up the re maining space in this traveling palace." MANUAL OF IVDt'STRIALS. Capitalization of Railroads Shown to Be 9t 7,23 1,000.000.

No matter how slight the disorder they urge the use of the knife. They are giving their patients statements as facts about the "nonsense" of natural methods, yet they have never' investigated the subject, or perhaps never even talked to a person who had tried natural methods for the cure of diseases.

The erec tion of the new plan of the Standard Ice company near the K. C.

From the records it is shown that so far this season. up to yesterday, there have been 225 cars iced at the Pittsburg plant, or about 70 per week. Of these there are 75 which had their initial icing.

Washington, May 2.1. An unoffi cial estimate of the population of the var ious states of the Union has been given out and published by the director of the census.

Oklahoma and Pennsylvania the increase amounted to more than a million. Xew York heads the list with, an increase of L59k2S with Oklahoma next, showing L33.1S3 more citizens and Pennsylvania next, with -32 additions to the population. While no in the million ciaas.

FULL LEAf5ED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report or that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sola pur pose. A pertinent query from the Chicago Record-Herald: Is snow In Georgia In May to be taken as a sign of the breaking up of the solid south? And the tall of Mr. Halley's comet didn't even make a noise. At least, tha wireless telegraph experts were unable to pet next to one. That thirty horse power automo bile which can run for 23 .miles on A gallon of fuel will not be very pop ular with the Standard Oil trust. Halley's comet has also succeeded admirably in imitating many of the earthly affairs of the present era by falling to live up to the things prom ised of it. Assuredly the astronomers ought to think a long time before they join that galaxy of scientists who are wont to insist that all newspaper informa tion Is unreliable. A New York Importer has told a committee of the house of repre sentatives that the middleman makes 15 cents a pound on coffee. An ex planation from the middleman is in order. Gabriele d'AnnunzIo, the Italian exotic, is soon to deliver a series of lec tures In this country. Explanation: He needs the money as he is now in debt to the extent of 400,000 lire, or about $80,000. A mere bagatelle of J 100,000 has been offered by a New York syndicate for the moving picture privilege ofg the Johnson-Jeffries fight.- Evidently this privilege Is not held In exceeding ly high regard. Jenkins Lloyd Jones, a Chicago cler gyman, "calls President Taft's arma ment policy "fuss and feathers" and "tomfoolery." This is the kind of lady-like criticism that is supposed to come from mollycoddles. Mr. Bryan advocates the federal control of liquor and its shipment. Most people are probably of the opin ion that the federal government now has all the troubles it can comfortably shoulder, and possibly a few more. Maybe the railroads, which are now maintaining herds of cows to supply their dining cars with butter, cream and milk, also do this for tha purpose of giving the cow-catchers on the en gines a chance to earn their salt. Methuselah has probably turned over In his grave two or three times. Census officials at Washington, after an Investigation, find many stories of longevity are incorrect and they doubt whether any one ever lived to be 110 years old. In view of the decision of the Unit ed States circuit court of appeals in vetting aside the injunction issued by Judge Pollock against the enforce ment of the Kansas bank guaranty law. It is fair to assume that Governor Stubbs Is not now so strong in his be lief that the federal courts are entire ly Inadequate. From the many and varied mistakes the astronomers of the world have made In prognosticating the course of Halley's comet and the contact of Its tall with the earth, it is up to them to confess that the science which treats of the celestial bodies is Just a trifle too deep for them. Or perhaps they need to put in a few more hours of study on their elementary text books. The land parade which was being arranged as one of the Incidents to the reception at New York which Is going to mark the home-coming of Colonel Roosevelt has been eliminat ed. So many men wanted to partici pate In it that the procession would take a couple of days or more to pass a given point. It has been most prop erly considered that this would be al most too much of a good thing. Your guess about the comet, from whence It came and whither It is go ing, of what it is composed, and of what the tall Is made, if it has one, is just as good as anybody's. The as tronomers have now been forced to admit they don't know much about the erratic luminary which has been attracting so much attention of late. On one point, there can be general agreement. The comet has no designs on Injuring the earth. Members of the Socialist party hope to Interest the farmers with an amendment to their pledge which makes their party opposed, not to those of the "propertied classes," but to those of the "capitalist class." This new form of expression was an un fortunate choice on the part of the Socialists. For. as a matter of fact, most of the successful farmers have been in the pultocratlc and capitalistic class for some time. AN APPEAL FROM A DRINKER. A pathetic, tragic and suggestive let ter is published In the June American Magazine as follows:. "About seven years ago I had a wife and one child and held a civil service position which would have Insured me a good salary the rest of my days if I had not gone to drinking. I lost my position on account of drink, was eus- pended fr6m my lodge for misconduct while Intoxicated, and finally got to where I could not even get work aa a common laborer. I tried to reform, but found it Impossible If I stayed in my home town; I tried to persuade my wife to move somewhere else or to let me go and then come to me after I had become established somewhere else. She refused to leave or to let me do so, and finally I ran away from them in order to get away from the drink. I have been spending the past three years In the extreme 'backwoods' sec tions of this state (Florida), guarding prisoners on turpentine farms, and ab solutely away from all liquor yet when I had occasion to make a short trip to one of our larger cities a few weeks ago it .as one tremendous and con tinual struggle to keep out of the bar rooms, and I hope never to be obliged to spend another twenty-four hours in a 'wet" town. This Is the situation after a three years' trial at overcoming the liquor habit: My wife secured a divorce as soon after I left home as possible, and at thirty-five years of age I am obliged to stay away out in the woods, cut off from everything I consider makes life worth living, following an uncongenial occupation and afraid to go among the people I wag used to for fear of again falling. If you can, through your mag azine, create a sentiment that will make this country safe for those' of us who have fallen, It will certainly be ap preciated by me at any rate." If this letter Isn't a strong argument for prohibition, a prohibition enforced as it is in most every section of Kan sas and which has put the saloon and the Joint out of business, one cannot be presented. U. S. SHOULD LEAD FOR PEACE. Discussions of value in the real uni versal peace movement, not the kind which is concerned with the construc tion of monster battleships and the in creasing of all kinds of military arma ment, were Indulged in during the past week at the annual peace confer ence at Lake Mohonk, N. Y. And co- Incident with them comes a mighty voice from the grave, as it were, in the publication In pamphlet form of one of the more recent addresses of the late Justice David J. Brewer. It is entitled "The Mission of the United States of America in the Cause of Peace," and was delivered by the noted Kansan at a meeting of the New Jersey State Bar association. To lead in the cause of peace. said Justice Brewer among other things in this most illuminative and instructive address, "no one of the great nations Is so well circumstanced as the United States of America. We are remote in distance and separated by oceans from other nations, so that if one of them were to attack us It would be fighting at long range, and it Is obvious that such fighting Is most exhaustive and attended with the least probabilities of success. Of course, the same rule would obtain against us were we to undertake an aggressive war, but an aggressive war assumes no desire for peace. In a defensive war our location is a great defense. In the second place, our resources of men and material are such as to almost guarantee against any attack. What ever advantage might enure to any na tion by reason of its larger armament would be only temporary In its nature and would soon be exhausted by the enormous resources of this country. In the third place, no nation is in such a financial condition. Our debt, com pared with that of other great na tions, is email, and if we had not been foolish enough to squander money in ironclads and army we might now be a nation without a debt." And Justice Brewer believed that the United States will not fail event ually in fulfilling her great mission in this respect, notwithstanding the pres ent opposition to peace In this coun try which is fostered by those who have a pecuniary interest in the build ing of massive vessels of war and other engines of destruction. "She will heed the summons," he said, "to the lofty mission of peace. The blare of the bugles and the beating of the drum will give way to the song of the angels; and the brotherhood of man, which means peace be- tween the nations, will find Its loftiest expression in the unfoldlngs of our history. There are three great forces in our civilization, each of which, more potent here than elsewhere In I I'.ie world, voices for International peace, and government of and by the people will heed those voices." These forces Justice Brewer named as the business interests, which look askance at the prospect of war and dread the I destruction of property and business; the laborers, who see that war means waste and destruction of property and who know that the cost of armies and of navies is enormous and that cost is made good by taxes which they are compelled to pay; and, the women, who have become such a potent force In public life and whose voice Is and always will be potent for peace. "These are the great forces in the life of this nation," concluded Justice Brewer In a most notable peroration, "and as they unite in the effort for arbitration and international peace they will compel the public men of the day to heed their demands. "I believe In the promisee of Scrip ture, that His word shall not return unto Him void but shall accomplish that which He pleases and shall pros per in the thing whereto He hath sent it: that the time will come when the swords shall be beaten into plough shares and the spear into pruning hooks and when men shall war no more forever. "With the eye of faith I eee un rolled on the canvas of the future a glorious picture, in which shall be seen every laborer dwelling beneath his own vine and fig tree, receiving ever a living wage for his toll; every merchant and manufacturer pursuing his business and his industry without a thought of interruption by the rav ages of war; and men of science and wealth combining In the achievement of more and more gigantic results, add lng not merely to the necessities but also to the comforts and luxuries of life, taking possession of land and water and air and all the forces to be found In them and making them min Ister to human life. In the foreground will be seen that highest type of wom anhood, the Madonna, and across her bosom will be these words: 'Mary hath kept all these thiners. and hath pon dered them In her heart' while under neath will shine In letters of fadeless light, the United States of America has fulfilled its mission." JOURNAL ENTRIES It la also probable that love often re grets it laughed at locksmiths. Considerable charity begins at home, where It should, but It ends there. Any number of men have an idea that tney are exceedingly courageous until a real test comes. Take the mother's word for it and her baby is the prettiest and smartest child that ever saw the light of day. Many husbands fail to make good because of the exaggerated notion of their capabilities originally held by their wives. JAYHAWKER JOTS It Is supposed by the Emporia Ga zette that the man who insisted this would be a year of drouth Is hard at work taking in his sign. A girl In Fowler got tired of life in the rural district and has started out to see the gay world. It would be a safe bet to say that she wished she was home before the first day was ov er, thinks the Independence Reporter. It would be a relief if the female members of the English royal family would do up their hair in a civilized style. They all have their foretops frizzled up after the style invented by Queen Alexandria about a hundred years ago. One cannot contemplate pictures of the princesses without feeling that if they were men they would wear sldewhiskers. Emporia Gazette. Mrs. Myra Williams Jarrell, in the Holton Signal, writes: "A few weeks ago I heard a woman who leads an ultra-fashionable existence in another city, deploring the fact that a friend of hers had not progressed; had, in fact, been hibernating, more or less, ever since her marriage. This ultra fashionable woman would .have called herself progressive. She is the first woman In her community to adopt a new style of head-rigging and, dress; indeed she wears more of the hair eauiDment necessary to proclaim one as belonging than any other two of three women of her acquaintance. She never wears a gown of last year s build, and they say she can quote Bridge Authorities with the eloquence of a Socrates, and the confidence of a Bryan. The friend whose stagnation she deplores, stays at home and takes care of the children. She makes them happy, and she Is a fit helpmate for her husband, whose business keeps him much away from home.

Don't be encouraged by a fool's promise. So many people pay the expense of an education, and don't tret it. When a farmer loses a horse, he is very apt to exaggerate the value of it in telling the item to a reporter. Nearly every man tries to give the impression that had he met his enemy while his indignation was at its high est, he would have killed him. When a friend calls on you, and grumbles and growls, what he really desires is that you whip his enemies while he looks on from a safe dis tance.

Whereas every sensible man should know that, except Saturdays and cir cus days, it Is always quiet. Question to be discussed at the Lan caster Literary society: A man was unjustly convicted of horse stealing, and sent to the penitentiary for 15 years. At the end or nve years ms in nocence was established and he was pardoned. Was his pardon good luck? If it was. didn't his bad luck in being sent to the penitentiary offset it? To vou nasi a grumble on? A, so ciety is shortly to be organized for the purpose of overtaking the grumble be fore It has reacned me mira person and suppressing it. It was hoped to suppress it before it started, but this has proved lmpossiDie, since mere are those who are bound to grumble, but if the one to whom the grumble has been made will refuse to pass it, a great reform will have been accom plished. POINTED PAKAUKAfHS. From the Chicago News. Money doesn't talk long before It be gins to brag. The greatness of many a man is due to inherited money. Occasionally a man who Is open to conviction is shut up In Jail. But a divorce usually costs less than a suit for breach of promise. Some men think they are ambitious, when In reality they are only discon tented. In a musicians' strike, the wind-instrument players are not likely to come to blows. Just think of the clothes a man's wife eould buy with the money he squan ders for cigars. People look upon a six-footer who weighs over 200 pounds as a big man until he proves that he's little. When a favored young man attempts to kiss a girl she seldom carries resist ance to the point of actual success. The mothers of some girls must have short memories, or else they were so good when young that they didn't need watching. KANSAS COMMENT ARMY RATIONS ON NEW BASIS.

Admirable advice! But he might possibly have made it more admirable still by distinguishing between really "independent" thinking, the sort to which the added qualifications of 5uuuu ana caretul are naturallv applied, and what too frequently passes for "InrlpnenrloTit" U I. Independent" thinking to many peo ple consists principally in the sugges tion of what a great many other peo ple, geierally the majority, think. To think independently all thev have to do is to find out what the other man thinks. It Is then easy to do the rest. The merits of the question, logic facts these are largely beside the mark. It may be that the regular thinkers are right from the standpoint of reason and experience. To accept their view, however, would be fatal by the self respect of the "independent" thinker. It would be ordinary, characterless, en slaved, not "independent." thinking It is a great thing for most of our fell- styled "independent" thinkers ir. tho fields of (politics, relfgion. society, morals and science that regular or or dinary thinkers exist. Otherwise they would be sorely puzzled. They wouldn't know what to think. They would have nothing particular- to deny and would thus lack the chance to show their in dependence. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

The whole neighborhood held its breath when the three-room cottage. vacant for a year, was bought by one Reuben Farr. The place could not be rented because of the Jones family. Exery Jones In the house made trouble even Mr. Jones, two years In his quiet grave, for his widow used his name perpetually as a reason why a poor widow woman and her young ones had ought to be let alone." Mrs. Jones talked as fast as she worked, which speaks well for her in dustry, and defended her chicks im partially. Mame was really pretty, with the courage of that prettiness. and kept the girlhood of the little street in a ferment by her wholesale and conscienceless annexation of their beaux. Sophie, red-headed and gawky and eleven, teased smaller children and caused feuds and fights among them. George, eight, cried if anything or anybody looked at him, and ran to his mother, who forthwith sallied forth to protect her offspring. At such times rows were rife, and the probation officers, the police and the humane Bociety- had all been called upon to arbitrate during the two years since the demise of the husband and father. But the head and front of the neighborhood offendings had been Joseph Jones, aged twelve and one- half, the owner of pigeons and raD bits and guinea hens, all nuisances and trespassers. Worse than that, Joe kept chickens. That Is, the neighbors kept them. They were ostensibly kept in, and the widow was so neat and clean and industrious, so valiant a mother, that officers were Inclined to think the neighbors were simply "down on the tribe," and unwilling to condone an occasional accidental escape of a small boy's pets. Also, the widow had a fine eye and a plump red cheek, not to mention an Irish tongue in her head. The neighbors always came off second best, but they lived In hope of some day seeing joe Jones "get what was comln to him. The Jones family owned and had to live in- their place. When Reuben Farr bought the place next door, in spite of fears and hints, the public breath was held. How would he stand the Joneees especially Joe? The day the new householder took possession the neighbors were hidden behind curtains, or openly out In yards and porches. Reuben Farr was a year or two younger than Mrs, Jones, tall and silent and gaunt, a carpenter by trade, his own cook and housekeeper. He nodded to every body, said goodnight or morning when he met them, but talked with no one. He minded his own business. It was bleak March when he moved In, and at nights and odd free days he tinker ed about his little house and got his affairs in order. In April he appear ed one night with horse and plow and broke up his entire generous back yard. He was questioned. "Garden," was his laconic response. The next night he harrowed the ground. Then, he methodically made beds and planted things, vegetables and flowers, and set out bushes and little trees. A few ones tried to warn him of Joe's rabbits, his pigeons, nis guinea hens and, worst of all, his chickens. But gossip, aimed at him. seemed to die on the lip. The neigh bors finally decided to let him get his own experience. But they admired him. Moreover, he was rather fine ooking, and not a day older than 40. Mame Jones tried to rare mm into flirtation. But. to the Joy of the interested, she did not succeed. He was polite, that waa all As for Joe, he found no fault with the boy. But one fine morning in May when he found the pet rabbits had eaten the tender tops from his upgrowlng vege tables, he stood thoughtfully. That night he fenced his place in high and tight with chicken wire of the finest, closest variety. And the next morning a he went to work, after getting his own break fast, Joe. safe on his own porch, cat called at him and made a gesture of scorn. It was awful to be ignored. Used to raising trouble. Joe would have preferred an open row to silence and a fence. It was not lonsr thereafter that, in some indescribable manner, the Jones chickens got over the fence miracu lously, since they were clumsy, heavy fowls without power of flight. They unrooted several flower beds and gob bled eff the tops of the peas, now well above ground. Reuben irarr sowed more peas, and lifted the nens over the fence. That night he called on the widow. casually, as if in passing She wel comed him on the porch, and bade him smoke if he liked. He did not talk more than a word or two. but Mame came out. In white and impu dence, and inwardly much excited. She wished her mother could learn to know when she was not wanted. But Mrs. Jones stayed, rocking intermina bly. When he rose to go she stam meringly mentioned the matter of the chickens and the rabbits. It was a new thing to have a neighbor who did not resent things. She was so sorry, but It was accidental, and children must have pets, and so forth. After voluble discourse in her pleasant Irish voice. Mary Jones, nee Ryan, finished with her favorite bit of wis dom. "Boys," she said, "will be boys." 'Yes, 'Boys will be boys," he said, dryly. Then he went away uptown. The next evening he added an extra foot to the height of his fence. The neighbors grinned, knowing Joseph would simply consider himself chal- enged. Natural history tells us that the rabbit will bore its way under al most anything on earth. It also teaches us that, like most useless things. It multiplies very rapidly. There had been originally some seven or eight rabbits. Now there were, it seemed, dozens of them. One night they worked steadily.- having somehow escaped from their alleged hutches, and the morning found them In Reuben's garden. They were keen and hungry, and the young cabbages and cauliflowers suffered. The presumably irate, but outwardly calm gardener, let Mrs. Jones come over and. with the aid of her offspring. remove the offenders, still nibbling. She was flustered, and for once her volubll ity failed her. Something in the tall bachelor's attitude shamed her to a partial silence. She broke previous records by offering to pay for the dam age. She would buy new plants for mm. tie said it would be too late now and he would use the space for some thing else. Joe? was fascinated into decency for a week or two. He did not understand And now, every few evenings, Reuben would saunter over to the widow's perch and sit on the steps and smoke. He got to exchanging dry jokes with Mame, who was so excited about this wary new specimen, that she forgot to bereave Sade Dugan, four doom on, of her latest beau. It was Reuben Farr's custom each night to padlock his front gate also made of wire like the fence. One dawn, early In May. he arose to find the gate wide open. The Jones's Jersey was peacefully browsing on the last of the young sweet corn stalks; the Jones's hens were scratching in the beds, tho rabbits were busy with the clover planted to protect the newly sprung up lawn grass. It was pretty bad. Farr called Joe oyer and sternly helped him to get the creatures out. His eye was blazing, and his Hps close set. Old Dugan. who came along, said he heard the outraged gardener swear. Dut Dugan had a fine imagination. This time, Mrs. Jones dared not even apologize. To do her Justice, she was stiff with fear. And the mischief was not all intentional. Piaued bv the pad lock, Joe, like all boys, had tried all the keys which he could find. He had a large assortment. One of them did fit the padlock, which opened with diffi cultybut which would not lock again. He had shut the gate, but the cow. pulling up her stake, had pushed it wide. The boy was frie-htened. and Mm under-exercised conscience was work ing. He kept himself out of the way the following evening, being sure thit something would happen. it aio; Dut it was not the expected. Reuben Farr, after his sunper. rnmn over to the Jones's house dressed in ma oesi, newly shaven, and smiling. Mame began somethlne anil rnt tha surprise of her life. He simply asked xvxrs. junes ir sne would send the children away while he spoke to her a moment. Angry and surprised, thev went, standing out of earshot, but anxious as to what was going on. The man talked, and the widow, from a. showing of fear at first, began to pro test, then to laugh, and protest again. x- many ne snowed her a paper and Mame held her breath. Had it some thing to do with the law? Thev ran. tinued to talk. Then the widow went indoors. Mame followed, eagerlv. hut ent no word of an answer to her inquiries, save a command to help her mother get into her best dress. The girl had an idea mat her mother wished to make a good impression on some magistrate and did as she waa bidden. Joe had sneaked up behind the house, peeping around to see what had hap pened. It was still broad light when the widow and R'euben Farr went togeth er down the street. Sophie, at a safe distance, trailed them and came back to report that they had gone to the pastor's, a few blocks off. It seemed that the church was to inter vene! The whole neighborhood, in shirt sleeves and dressing sacks, came out on the porches, and into the yard. What had happened? Even Joe re gained his impudence, and In a half hour, or less, when in the first dusk the two came slowly back, he waited boldly In the front yard as one who stood on his native heath. As the boy's mother and Reuben Farr stepped into her yard, with the eye of the world upon them, young Joe Indulged in a gesture of defiance and contempt. Then Fate descended upon him. Reuben Farr caught the unsuspecting youth by the arm, sat down on the bottom step, laid him over his gaunt knees, and gave him the spanking of his lifetime. Joe yelled in rage and grief, but the pun ishment, proceeded until even the neighbors were fully satisfied. He kept on spanking and the mother did not interfere! "What right you got?" yelled the boy. And the answer was this: "The rights of a good, able-bodied stepfather, who knows that boys will be boys! Tomorrow we'll see about selling off some superfluous animals about this place." There was nothing more to be said. (Copyrighted 1910, by Asso ciated Literary Press.) Movement In Germany. An incident occurred during the past week In the German reichstag which has not received very much at tention, and which may well have no Immediate consequences of import ance, but Is. nevertheless, significant and unprecedented. On the motion of a socialist-democratic member a reso lution was passed by a small majority declaring that the chancellor was re sponsible for his acts, and for such acts of the emperor as require his sig nature, to tne reichstag. It has been an accepted principle of the constitution of the German em pire that the chancellor or prime min ister is responsible to the emperor alone, and that in the exercise of such discretion as is recognized by the con stitution the emperor himself can not be held responsible anywhere. When the celebrated incident of the em peror's statement to an English paper arose Prince von Buelow declared that It would be impossible for him or any other minister to conduct the affairs of the government if the emperor insisted on acting In entire independence and irresponsibility. The emperor yielded for the time being, but he was deeply nun, and tnere is mtie doubt that Buelow's fate was sealed from that time. Yet even the chancellor scrupu lously avoided any admission that he was himself responsible to the reich stag. Then came the failure of his finance bills and his resignation. Great care was taken to explain that he did not retire because of that misfortune, but because his health was not equal to the task of dealing with the reichstag, but he did retire, and his successor, Herr von Bethmann-Hollwegg, began by accepting the finance plan of the majority in the reichstag which Bue low had rejected. -A change of min isters had followed the loss of a ma jority and the policy of the majority had been imposed on the new minis ter. Precisely the process required by the British constitution had been fol lowed. The principle of ministerial re sponsibility had obviously, whether acknowledged or repudiated, been ap plied. Now the principle Is definitely adopted by a majority of the reichstag. The majority is small and may be a temporary one. It may be a long time before any attempt Is made to act on it. and the attempt, when made, may be defeated. But the adoption of the resolution remains a specific and con crete fact. The reichstas rests on uni versal suffrage, and this is a land mark in the advance of the German people to a more practical and imme diate control of their own affairs. New York Times. "Gulliver's Travels" (unexpurgater) contains an account of a cluster ot mutts on a floating island. "says Hondo Murphy. "These fellows were saturated with cne idea to such an extent that they were chased around by attendants to keep them from falling In the well or being run over by a street aweeper. The method used to awaken them from their scientific reveries, was to swat them on the ear with a dry bladder full of wind. "These wise astronomers who have been dreaming this Halley comet stuff, remind me of the old mathematlc bug3 on the Floating Island. And I think they should be awakened from their dreams in the same manner with a elight change In rule. I move, that in ('rawing up the order to waken them, 'dry bladder" ia stricken out, and e.n eel-skin full of shot' be substituted therefor." Instead of "Who hit Billy Patterson?" it should read: "What hit McCarty Ok lahoma?

Even that great National Weekly. Collier's, catches the wrong car occa sionally. In the editorial of the cur rent issue, a couple of sticks of space are devoted to the task of "bawling out" actors who assume euphonious titles.

But when Col lier's closes with, the startling Informa tion that Montgomery and Stone are really Hawkins and Henry C. Baxter, it is time to commence tossing dor nicks.

Heaven seems so much farther away from home than the other place. The foolisher a girl la when she Is engaged to a man the more she can make him show It all. A man's Idea of being patriotic is to act as If he-deserved a lot of credit for George Washington. There seems to be a lot more satis faction in winning a dollar on a horse race than In earning a hundred. What a woman likes about having a man make love to her Is It's even more exciting than If he meant It.

It has been a long time since a cam paign or movement has so generally In terested the public as the move on the part of the Topeka Anti-tuberculosis society in the direction of eradicating tuberculosis in the eapital city. This fact together with the advertising of a most excellent program of music and addresses drew an audience of nearly 3 5X people to the Atiditoriuin. Sunday afternoon. It was the desire of the society to give the public an. idea of the importance of the work which tt ts Intended to ac complish and interest, if possible, sev eral thousand people to a sufficient ex tent to induce them to become mem bers of the organization. Of course donations- will te cheerfully accepted but the people of Topeka will not be asked for funds. On Tuesday a whirlwind campaigT will be undertaken by the women's clubs of the city and a house to house canvass will be made, for the purpose, in view of obtaining additional mem bers for the new organization. As the membership fee is one dollar it is fuliy anticipated that a fund of coin will ae obtained large eaough to enable the Anti-tubercukisis society to maintain a fresh air camp on the North side in af approved and .scientific manner. Meetin f- Success. The meeting Sunday afternoon was a great success. Marshall's band played a number of selections to start the ball rolling-" Especially enjoyable were tne vocal numbers riven by Miss Mabel Hidenour who- san Brackett's "Eyes That Are Weary.

"The King of Love" by Shelly wus rendered by the choir of the First Presbyterian church, composed of Mrs. fitfu. W. Parkhurst. Mrs. Florence Thaeher.

"In the state there is one death "from tuberculosis every four hours, while in the entire- country a vic tim succumbs every twenty seconds," asserted the speaker. Robert Stone explained briefly the w.-k of the local society. A. A. Godard presided over the meeting and Dr. Charles M Sheldon offered a prayer. As a result of the gathering the membership ef the ergamteation was increased about 11 per cent and S40ft added to the avalla-ole funds.

If not. you are excused from further perusal ef my chat tonight because thafs what it's a bout la the Srst place, when you are gotu ta paper, consider which way your room faces. Never put a. cold color Eke gray or green on a north room. Yellow, golden brown, bronae and golden effects are the proper thing for a room with, a north expoeure.- For a west room something in a blue, rose or pink tone is pretty. For an east or south room gray or green, greenish blue or red. or any of the colors that need a good deal of light may W used. Far a room that you wish to lighten up. any of the colors recommended for a north room will be desirable, as they attract the light into the room, and yet do nit aosoro it as green or blue -r red dOL Woodwork is also a very important and very much nesr'ected considera tion. Do cot use light colors like gray or light green with a natural color woodwork. Dark browns and reds go best with that. With white woodwork the tight eoiors look best, although, the darker can be used, as white ia all right with anything. Be careful not to use stripes in a high studded room, nnles-s you creak the height by the use oil a plate raiL wainscoting or some sort of decorative effect. Take a piece of the carpet with you when you go paper hunting, but do not try to; match it. Be satisfied to get the color to harmonixe. A harmony is better than a match because the match can not oe perfect, as eoiors in cloth and paper ear not be exactly the same. Do not be attracted tsy flowers so lifelike that you feel you could pick them oft the rail wall. That is not artistic paper. The be papers are Cat rather than in relief, and are esa-veatianaiiaed- rather thaa lifelike de Signs.

Conditions in the Northwestern Coun ties Never Better, He Says. City to Spend $30,000 for Betterment of Streets Expect Howl. When the news gets out today that the city has authorized the grading, curbing and guttering of the Kenwood tract at a cost of about $30,000, there is going to be a big howl go up among the people of the city. Ever since the city commissioners decided that there should be no more paving in Topeka this year and refused to allow any of the large number of paving petitions sent in to the office of the city clerk, there has been a grow ing grumble. Finally, the city was besieged with petitions for paving that simply con nected up paved streets paving that wouldn't cost the city a cent.- except for grading. But these petitions have all been turned down and the grum ble grew" louder. Now, when it is known that the city has let out $30,000 worth of work and still refuses to grant paving that costs the ciy practically nothing-, the grum ble will sound like an approaching hail storm with the thunder and lightning accessories. Joel R. Burrow, optimist. That expresses it all, too. The conservative president of the Cen tral National bank was never during his long career more pleased with conditions in Kansas than he is at the present time. Mr. Burrow has just returned from a tour of inspection in the northwest part of the state and finds things moving along in great shape. Affairs in Norton, Smith, Thomas, Decatur and other coun ties, were never better, Mr. Burrow de clares. The people are happy, money is easy, crops are fine and that section of the Sunflower state is on the great high way of prosperity. "I find crop conditions in the northwest excellent." said Mr. Burrow this mnninir. "in fact they could hardly be better. The wheat crop will be large this year, and will bring the farmers thousands of dol lars. Corn is also doing well. The weath er is just the kind needed and grains of an Kiiius are i luunsning. "I never in my life saw better times. Monev is easv and the hanks re hnsv The farmers up there borrow the whole year round and invest their monev to ad vantage. Of course this sort of thing helps all classes of people. The Jobber and the retailer are thriving, and in some towns a land office business is carried on at certain times." Asked as to the political situation, the Danker said: "It looks as if Wagstaff is gaining ground rapidly. There is a strong Wagstaff sentiment in the northwest and this is growing stronger and stronger. The people think a great deal of President Taft, and the way he is conducting affairs pleases them. They want to see the president's legislative program carried out, and are doing all they can to this end. There is no doubt about the way the district is going in the congressional elec tions. The regular Republicans will nom inate and elect their candidate. Tom Wagstaff, candidate of the Republican party far governor, will run a strong race. Despite the appeal from every wo man's club organization In the city and the petitions from others interest ed, Topeka will have an open Fourth of July this year. It is the opinion of the city commissioners that the state laws and the existing conditions among the Topeka merchants make it impossible to place a muffler on the usual Fourth of July celebrations. It has been the intention of the city officials to introduce new firecracker regulations. The "Sane Fourth" sen timent has been so 'strong In the city that the commissioners planned to fol low up the wishes of the people. But it has been found that under the state laws it would be impossible to pass and enforce an ordinance prohibiting the sale of fire arms for Fourth of July purposes and the commissioners have dropped the scheme for this year. "We would like to have a quiet Fourth but I don't believe it would be the right thing to do at this time," said Commissioner Bone this morn ing. "I know one dealer who has or dered $2,000 worth of fireworks for this year and he says that they are on the way now it would be an injus tice to this man to pass a strictly pro hibitive ordinance at this time. I am in favor of waiting until next year." This seems to be the general senti ment among the city commissioners and it is probable that some time af ter the Fourth of July an ordinance will be passed including all of the bad features connected with the small boy and his pleasures. Women Have Petitioned. The women's clubs in the city have petitioned the commissioners asking that an ordinance be drawn up pro hibiting explosion of fire crackers, fire arms, etc., within the city limits and confining all celebrations to the day light. Now what the average small boy wants to know is how in thun der will they find any fun in shooting oft sky rockets and Roman candles in the day time? f Then the careful mammas ask that the city pass an ordinance prohibiting the "sale of dangerous explosives, can non fire crackers, toy. pistols and the like for the coming Fourth. But; from the expressions of the city officials at this time it would be running in oppo sition to state laws to pass an ordin ance of this kind and this petition will also be filed (to "file" an or dinance or comrnunication is a po lite term for -"killing" it.) According to the statements made by Mayor Billard this morning, the city will instruct the police officers to carry out the provisions of one or dinance that one relates to the. firing of explosives before or after the Fourth of July. This ordinance will be enforced, to the letter and will place a good ban on the "Can't Waits" and the "Couldn't Fire 'em Alls." There is one ordinance now in force in Topeka that will have its effect in the carrying out of the "Sane Fourth" proposition, however. This ordinance was passed in 1906 and regulates the noisy celebration, to. sucn an .extent that fireworks of certain kinds are not allowed withm the city limits. Old Ordinance In Effect. This ordinance reads: "It shall be unlawful for any per son to discharge any gun, revolver or pistol with or without blank cart ridges, toy cannon, blank cartridge pistols, or fire off cannons, anvils, cart ridges of any description, cartridge canes or any fire crackers more than six inches in length and one inch in diameter, or to throw or place any caps, cartridges, cannon fire crackers, torpedoes or other explosives on the tracks or rails of street railways or other railways within the city of To peka any person violating any of the ororisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than three dollars nor more than fifty dollars for each offense. This is Inclusive enough to carry out a part of the petitions of the wo men of the city and those Interested in the welfare of the small boy. Meanwhile a strong fight will be made in the next legislature to pass a law prohibiting the sale of fireworks then the small boy will nave to re content every Fourth of July with wearing a stiff collar and going with his mother to the park to look at the "pretty fishies.

One of the big fights of the Southern Presby terian assembly was inauguarated to day when the committee on marriage and divorce was called upon to report' So divergent were the views of its members that attempts to procure a majority report was abandoned. Dr. W. T. Boggs, Atlanta. Ga., the last moderator, and Dr. W. Joplin, Red Springs. N. C, submitted a report rec ommending radical changes in the con fession of faith. Dr. Russell Cecil, Richmond, "Va.. and Dr. H. Fleming submitted a substitute report, recom mending that no changes be made. Dr. Boggs wanted to bar polygamists from baptism and the Lord's Supper. Dr. Cecil was in favor of missionaries exercising discretion in extending mem bership to heathen polygamists, claim inK that great hardships would result from requiring heathens to desert all but one wife. Dr. Boggs met this with the statement that it was the duty nf the church to care for those cast off. Dr. Boggs opposed the church con tinuing to allow "wilful desertion" as a cause of divorce. At the same time he recommended an amendment of the confession so as to allow the guilty party in .adultery divorces upon fur nishing satisfactory evidence of re pentance to the church, to remarry. He -claimed there' was nothing in the scriptures to' forbid this. Dr. Cecil op posed DOtn recommendations. TRIMORJRIMMED' Citj Commissioners Are Ser ious in the Trimming Plea. Ordinance Requiring Quick Ac tion Passed This Morning. UNDER SUPERVISION. Commissioners Holm an and Mil ler to Conduct All Work. Other Actions Before City Board of Commissioners Today. cus and blows were exchanged. On May 3 they met In a formal encounter with swords In th Pare Des Princes, the scene of today's duel. De Poligny is lame and after a round of sword play during which neither was Injured, the seconds called a halt. Subsequent ly pistols were substituted for the swords and six shots wer exchanged. None of the bullets found its mark and the antagonists left the field without a reconciliation. IN GOOD CONDITION. Jeffries and Johnson Give Good Ac count of Themselves. If you don't grab a" knife and saw and trim your trees at once you will tie subject to a fine of from $3 to $25. This is an advance warning and if ta ken in due time will save lots of trou ble. This morning beore the board of city commissioners, Commissioner Hol- man introduced an ordinance of this kind. But this ordinance will take at least three days to travel through the commission and then it is printed in the official city paiper, the State Journal. After that it is a law. Thus, the people of Topeka have un til the latter part of this week to trim their trees and get them in good order before they are required to do so by the law and an edict from the police court. This tree trimming, proposition has been aired through these columns for such a length of time that it Is un necessary to state just why the city commissioners have introduced an or dinance of this kind. But in a few words it might be said that this order will come out both because it is an absolute necessity and because it is for the benefit of the beauty of the city. The constant trouble with the over hanging limbs on the mart of the elec tric light department has created a demand for an ordinance of this kind. With the trees in such condition as they are at this time the full benefit of the electric lights cannot be- secur ed. To make safe the electric light wires, give more range to the street arc lamps, to beautify the streets, and to carry on a systematic forestry system in Topeka is the plan of the city board of commissioners. The trimming of the treets will be under the i-upervision of Commissioners Miller and Holman. The ordinance in troduced this morning reads as follows: It is hereby made the duty of the owner of any premises abutting on any tree or avenue of this city to cut and trim all trees or shrubbery growing in the parkings between the sidewalks and driveways of the streets and avenues and all trees or shrubbery growing on any part of said premises and adjacent to the sidewalks, streets or avenues, in such manner .that the boughs or limbs tnereoi snail not Obstruct tree and con venient travel along the sidewalks, streets and avenues; and shall not ob struct the passage of light from the electric street lamp; and when said premises shall be occupied by some oth er person than the owner, it shall be the duty of the said occupant to cut and trim the tiees and shrubbery in the same manner hereintofore required. or me owner; saiu uuiung auu luiu ming shall be done under the super vision and direction and to the satis faction of the commissioner of water works and street lighting and the com missioner of parks and public improve ments. Any occupant or owner who shall refuse or neglect to cut and trim trees and shrubbery as hereintofore provided after receiving five days" no tice from ne city autnonties to ao so shali be deemed guilty of a misdemea nor and upon convlctim there--! nnetl not less than $3 and more than $25." The Kenwood matter came to an end this morning when the city commis sion decided to appoint a board of appraisers and begin the assessment against the Kenwood lots for tne curD ing and .guttering of this section of the city. The city council called for estimates and prepared plans on this work and then turned the matter over to the city commissioners. But the commission ers have been delaying the final ac tion fearing that the city should not spend $30,000 for its share in this work. It was decided at the meeting this morning that the work was for the benefit of the city and it was author ized. This means that the whole Ken wood tract will be graded, curbed and guttered an improvement amounting to thousands of dollars Kach commissioner was sent a box of cigars after the order passed. The famous street car ordinance fought over by the old city council was dug out and passed by the city commissioners this morning. This is the ordinance that has been heralded in the State Journal so many times as a final action to curb the loose man ner in which the street railway has lived up to the terms of its franchise. The ordinance passed today makes it a misdemeanor for tne street rail way to violate any of the sections of the franchise and will be a final deci sion on the continual trouble between the city and the railway over certain sections of the franchise. The hauling of freight cars through the streets, -the removal of unused tracks, the duties of conductors in calling out streets, the paving, exca vation and cleaning of the right of way, and several other valuable sec tions are included in the ordinance. The much talked of proposition to refund the existing outstanding bond ed indebtedness of the city- of about $50,000. which bore an interest of 5 per cent, due July 15. 1910, and then execute bonds Bearing a denomination of $1,000, due July 15, 1930, bearing an interest of 4 per cent, came up be fore the board of commissioners in the shape of an ordinance for its first reading this' morning It will be passed later. FRENCH COUNTS FIGHT. Ben Lomond, Cad., May 23. Promoter Jack Glcat-on. who paid his first visit yesterday to Jeffries' training carmp, here, returned to San Francisco last night extolling the condition in which he found the big fighter. "I was thunderstruck at the change 1 noted in Jeffries," Gleason declared. "I saw him stripped in Los Angeles a year ago and I think he must, have weighel fully 290 pounds at that time. Now he is clean of all surplus flesh, and he looks to be in as good shape as he ever was. Has improvement, I think, is marvelous. He told me he would like to take on Johnson In- two weeks, and T guess his friends would like nothing better than to advance the date of the big fight. The only thing that may possibly spoil him is over training." Promoter Tex Rlckard. who also wit nessed Jeffries' fast workouts, had a chat with the former champion about the referee matter. Rickard says he told Jeffries that he was now thorough ly anxious to preside over the contest and felt entirely fit to do so if the principals indorsed him. He was re assured by Jeffries, who said: "Ga ahead, Tex, and referee. I have every confidence in your ability and I'm tick led to have you on the job." San Francisco, May 23. Jack John son grinned a grin as big as a Georgia melon cut endwise following his gym nasium exhibition yesterday afternoon. He grinned because the big crowd that witnessed his workouts appeared so well pleased. "I tell you," he said to the newspaper men, "I'm mighty glad they liked the way I boxed. Applause means a lot to a fighter when he is training. Tou can't fool a big crowd. When the fans cheer, you know you're goin ahead. I must have done well, or they would not have applauded me as much as they did." The big negro's followers declared they noted much improvement in his footwork. According to the experts, slowness on his feet has been a weak- day he seemed to move about the ring faster than usual and he lost no oppor- t tunity to practice sidestepping. I Johnson expects to enter his fight with Jeffries weighing 208 pounds. To make tnat weight he will have to take off only a fraction over ten pounds be tween now and July 4. The fighter announced that he has lurchased a new racing automobile and expects to receive it from the east in about a week. The car will have a 70 horse power engine capable of develop ing a speed of 95 miles an hour. John son's supporters are not particularly pleased over this bit of news.

This is the beginning of a clean, up which the chief says win drag Topeka like a fine toothed comb and will not leave a single suspicious character. Also, it wul stop the bur glaries. There is a Ions list of names of those on the chiefs "blacklist." and these men will have to go. Officers this mornins were told to cleac up their beats of suspicious characters. Two negroes. Andrew Kel ley and Walter Frost, are in the lock up and more will be added to their number. Four other suspects were tak en to the police station last night and this morning and made to tell their business and prove that they were en gaged along legitimate lines. "We are going to clean up the town," said Chief Jenkins this morn ing. "We have got some crooks here and we have got to get rid of them. We have been working on suspect3 for some time, but have not had any luck. But we are going to get the fellows who are doing this robbing. We will get them. And every 'vag' and crook will have to go. Otherwise they will find themselves in the lockup. "Several suspects have been brought here and have proved to U3 that they did not do the work. Pet we'll get the fellows who did it "There has been a lot of burglary talk that there was nothing in. Others know that as well as I c?o. But now there really are some burglaries and we are going to get the fellows who are doing the work." One of the men arrested and exam ined is an alleged pnrfhaser of old jewelry. He proved to the police that he represented a St. Louis jewelry house and there was nothing to do but let him go. The plan of this man is to examine the old jewelry owned by the family on which he call?, and gives them prices on it. In this way the pelice beliaved he learned where valu ables were kept and either returned or tipped off the locations to confed erates who did the work.

Ask your grocer for Creation's Cleanest Creamery MISS CAVEHDER FOUND. Ctrl Supposed to Hare Been Murdered living at Berkeley. Hiding from her father because she i fears that he would have her recom mitted to an insane asylum. Miss Leona Cavender, whose father resides in North Topeka. lives at Berkeley. CaL. and the bones found last winter upon the bleak top of lit. Taaialpais. near San Francisco, are those of an other woman. Police officers in St. Joseph have learned this through a woman who corresponds with Miss Cavender. They refuse to make public the name of the correspondent. Officers in St. Joseph have sought the woman in -every city tn the west. Steamship companies' records have been searched, old hotel registers brought out and the pages eagerly scanned for her name. In every way possible has It been tried to locate the woman and the officers are only Just now successful. Last winter an aged and feeble man enfred the State Journal office and tearfully begged that an effort be made to learn if the woman whose bleached bones were found on top of Mount Tamalpais were those of his daughter. Jewelry and gold fillings of the teeth Indicated that it might be her. he said. She had left St. Joseph last summer with about $2.03 and had announced that she was going to become a mis sionary. So the missionary societies and officers in the western cities were included in the search but no trace could be found of the woman. Dispatches sent out from the State Journal resulted in examinations In San Francisco and it was proven that the woman who was probably lured to the mountain side and killed, was not Leona Cavender. But even then Cavender did not rest tn peace but feared as much as ever that the daughter was the victim of foul play because the dispatches had brought no trace of her. The old man mourned his daughter as dad. Previous to leaving St. Joseph. Miss Cavender had been adjudged insane and committed to the asylum. She was there several months. Then she was discharged and went west. Noth ing more wa heard of her where abouts until the St- Joseph police lo cated her last week. According to the story of friends of the family in St. Joseph last week Mrs. Cavender. who has been sepa rated from her husband nearly 31 years, knew where her daughter was all the time but did not make public this fact because she feared Cavender would follow up the woman and again place her in an asylum. Miss Caven der is believed not to have been In sane but is a woman of highly nervous temperament. Cavender could not be located to day. His residence was formerlv in North Topeka but it is not known if he has left here. COLOR LINE WIPED OUT. Booker Yartinzton Made Life Mem ber of S S. Association. Washington. May 23.

A campaign will be waged among the business men of the city for the pur pose of increasing the membership of rhe Topeka Anti-Tuberculosis society. This was decided this noon at a meet ing of men interested at the Commer cial club. Another meeting win be held at noon Tuesday, and at that time the date wilt be set for a whirlwind campaign, al though present indications point to Thursday as being the logical time for making the canvass of the business -men, as that would immediately follow the efforts in the residence districts, which the club women of the city about 2ZQ strong will make, to add new names to the list of members. It is probable rhat many of the busi ness men will "take out stock" in the crganiaation to the extent of paying 15 for an associate" membership card. Including those who were enlisted in the society at the Auditorium meeting Sunday the total membership has now reached the eXiO mark. On Wednesday evening Percy Hemus. a baritone singer of exceptional ability, and Miss Margaret Fowier. a well known violinist, both of Kansas City, will give a concert at the high school auditorium, for the benefit of the To peka Ami-Tuberculosis society.

BY MANIPULATION l'ensacola Has Lost Its Trade to Mobile. Fish Dealers File Complaint Against State Made Kates. "Washington, May 23. Regulation of railroad freight rates ordinarily Is a complicated question, involving intri cate matters of law; but it becomes even a more serious problem when two regulating authorities clash on a pro position of the reasonableness of rates. Thoughtful observers of freight rate regulation have anticipated that, soon er or later, a conflict of authority would arise between the interstate commerce commission and one or more of the Mate railroad commissions concerning the fixing of rates. Precisely such a conflict has develop d over a comparatively insignificant case that recently was brought before tiie interstate commorc: c immission. It was that of E. E. Saunders Co. of Pensacola, Fla., against the South ern Express company. The complainants ere fish dealers and shippers at Pensa cola. In the ordinary course of their business, they operate largely in the Mate of Alabama, shipping fish in quan tities from. Pensacola to paints of des tination in that state by express. Recently, the railroad commission of Alabama fixed an express rate on fish ;'rom Mobile, Ala., to other intrastate points that was far below the express rate from Pensacola to- the same points destination. This rate the express company was forced to put in effect, oithougn it protested against it. Mo bile fish shippers, by reason of this rate, were given an advantage over the fish s hippers of Pensacola to points within Alabama, although, in many instances, the distance from Pensacola to points of destination was less than from Mo bile. Refused Same Rates. The Southern Express company re fused to make the same rates from it'ensacola to points in Alabama as it was required to make from Mobile, its refusal resulting in a complaint filed fegainst it with the interstate commerce commission. The commission's opinion in the case was handed down today. It was pre pared by Commissioner Harlan and is the unanimous judgment of the com mission. It indicates clearly the lines of conflict between the national com mission and the various state commis sions, in the regulation of freight and express rates; and, in that sense, is cne of the most important decisions rendered by the commission for many jr.onths. While the case directly in volved may be considered as inconse quential, comparatively, the principle enunciated by the commission is "of country-wide application, as it opens, at once, the question whether the na tional, or the state, regulating authori ty is to be paramount in the fixing o lreight rates. The commission states its position in tnese terms: "Upon general principles of comity the action of a state commission in fixing rates on state traffic must be treated with all due respect, but this commission has never felt itself bound to accept a state-made rate as a nec essary measure of an interstate rate. "Without criticising the state commis sion rates from Mobile, this commis sion, in the light of the record and its own investigations, finds itself unable to accept the Alabama rates as a fair and reasonable basis for fixing the de fendant's rates to the same points from Pensacola." The Opinion. The situation and the testimony are discussed thoroughly in the opinion. In announcing that it would not close the record in the case until the defen dant had made further efforts to con test the order of the Alabama com mission, tha Interstate Commerce commission says: "The carriage of traffic by a com mon carrier for one community or one set of shippers at less than it carries the same traffic for a like distance, and under substantially similar trans portation conditions, for another com munity or another set of- shippers is not only in contravention of funda mental right and justice but is essen tially iniquitous. If such a discrim ination is practiced by a common car rier as between communities or dif ferent sets of shippers, within the same state and on traffic moving only within the state, redress, may usually be had under the state laws". On the other hand, if an interstate carrier is Kuilty of such a discrimination with respect to interstate traffic, redress may be had under the act to regulate commerce. "But when a carrier, as in this case, serves two communities similar ly situated, by hauling the same traf fic under similar conditions from a point of origin to destinations in the same state and also to the same des tinations from an interstate point of origin, it is not altogether clear that existing legislation affords redress against a discrimination, as between the two points, when resulting from an order by the state commission. But unless some such power is lodged somewhere under appropriate legisla tion, it is evident that state-made rates, if established in pursuance of a narrow or selfish local policy, may not only hinder and harm and burden in terstate traffic and interstate interests. rut may. if adjusted with that end In view, take from a point in another iitate a business that naturally belongs to that point or In which it is entitled at least to participate, on the basis of equal rates and equal opportunity. Fncts in the Cne. "Whateevr may be the explanation, whether it rests in the greater zeal, ac tivity and ability of the fishing inter ests at Pensacola or whether it is a natural advantage belonging to that port, the fact appears that for years Pensacola has enjoyed a larger busi ness in the distribution of fish throughout the state of Alabama than has Mobile. By a readjustment of the state rates out of Mobile whether so Intended or not, the process of taking from Pensacola, through lower state made transportation charges, what its superior zeal or its greater natural ad vantages have given to it has com menced and is now going on. ".On principle it is clear that a car rier operating through two or more states is but one vehicle of commerce, and all traffic moved bv it, whether state or interstate, ourht, when the general transportation conditions are the same, to bear its Just proportion Ol the cost of operation 3nd ought to yield no more and no less than its just proportion of the revenues of the car rier. "Any other theory is fundamentally inequitable, illogical and unreasonable. It may be, but on that point we ex press no opinion, that the congress may constitutionally protect interstate commerce, as well as the carriers that are engaged in interstate transporta tion, by requiring that ary state traf fic moved by such a carrier shall bear its just proportion of the cost of oper ation and yield its proper proportion of profit to the carrier; and that, with such an end in view it may authorize this commission to fix minimum rates, at least, for state traffic when moved by carriers engaged also in interstate transportation; or that it may provide that no carrier engaged in the inter state transportation of passengers or property may at the same time carry state traffic at rates that are less than the rates exacted by it for interstate carriage of like distance and under like transportation conditions. It has, however, not attempted ar.y such leg islation, and whether such' an enact ment would stand the-test of scrutiny by the courts under the constitution as it now stands, and if so, whether it would be desirable from the stand point of a broad public policy, are questions that must ultimately be de termined by the legislative power and therefore can not profitably be dis cussed by the commission in this pro ceeding." to trYwomanhrst. Case of the Doxeys, Charged With Murder, Comes to Trial. St. Louis, May 23. Mrs. Dora Eliza beth Doxey, who with her husband. Dr. Loren B. Doxey, is under indictment on the charge of murdering William J. Erder, whom it is alleged she married was placed on trial here today. The de fense asked a severance of the trials and the state elected to try the woman first. It is charged that while she was the wife of E'der and also that of Doxey, she poisoned Erder with arsenic. It developed at the coroner's inquest that Erder ate heartily of a blackberry pie shortly before his fatal illness. Erder died in convulsions July 10, 1909, and. shortly after it is charged Mrs. Doxey sent Erder's furniture to the home of Doxey in Columbus. Neb. Mrs. Doxey collected Erder's life insur ance. Mrs. Doxey, in aft interview last week admitted she married Erder while she was the wife of Doxey. She said she was no; responsible for her acts as she was under the influence of morphine, which her husband sent her. Since she has been in jail here she has been cured of the drug habit. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that Doxey had a "guilty knowledge" of Erd er's death. Last December the grand jury returned indictments. The defense will claim that Erder took patent medicines. Mrs. Doxey has announced she will not live with her husband again. "I will do nothing out of spite toward Dr. Doxey," Mrs. Doxey said, "but I expect to protect myself. He and I are quits forever, whatever is the outcome of this case." FLIES OVER CHANNEL. DeLesseps Expected to Return to lYance the Same Waj. Calais, France, May 23. .Count Jacques DeLesseps. the French aviator started at 3:30 Saturday afternoon on a double flight across the English channel. He reached the English side successfully and was expected to make the return trip at once. The weather was magnificent when the aeroplane rose from the ground for its daring trip, heretofore accom plished only by Louis Bleriot. Rising, the count took his machine in a wide circle over the cliffs and then headed straight for Dover. In 15 minutes he had disappeared from view. A torpedo boat, destroyer fol lowed the course of the aeroplane. De Lesseps used a 50 horse power monoplant called Scarbee. He as cended from the point at which Bler iot started on his cross channel flight last July and rose gradually to an Rltitude of 1.600 feet, at which height he was travelling when he was lost to view in a light haze. The torpedo boat destroyer Escopette followed in the wake of the flying craft. TO SAMUEL SPENCER. Bronze Statue Is Unveiled at Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta City, Ga., May 21.

ITS PAPER IS HELD In Large Quantities by Banks and Other Iuterests. Has Offices in Chicago, Albany, Buffalo and Boston. Albany, N. T., May 23. Through the alleged manipulation of warehouse re ceipts the firm of Durant Elmore, grain merchants, with offices in Albany, Chicago. Buffalo and Boston, has be come involved in a financial tangle, which promises sensational develop ments. The National Commercial bank of Albany holds the company's paper for $300,000; the First National bank has $77,500, and many thousands more are said to have been secured from out of town institutions. According to a statement by Vice President James H. Perkins, of the Na tional Commercial bank, the company is "hopolesely involved "We are informed," said Mr. Per kins, "that eight or nine banks hold the firm's paper, besides grain com mission brokers with whom the firm has dealt and a number of individ uals." The exact condition of the firm's affairs is not known, but an examina tion is under way. Gibson Oliver, treasurer of the company, had charge of the affairs of its Albany office, ac cording to members of the firm, but no statement from him as to the al leged shortage has been forthcoming. Edwin W. Elmore, a member of the firm, who was summoned from Chi cago, is assisting in the examination. The scheme 'by which the money is alleged to have been secured was a sim- iTle one. As soon as a carload of grain was shipped from Chicago tor the local firm the manager received a warehouse receipt. This was in the regular course of business. Later on the warehouse re ceipts are said to have been so mani pulated as to make possible the heavy loans from the banks on the bills as security. .The man whose duty is said to have been to take up the warehovise re ceipts when the grain was actually de livered by the railway company, it is alleged, did not do so, and hence the genuine bills were used again. SEYLER PUT OnIrIAL Charged With Responsibility for the Death of a Girl. Mays .Landing, N. J., May 23. Charged with having been responsible for the death of Jane Adams. 18 years old, at the million dollar ijier in Atlan tic City on the night of February 4, William Seyler was today called to face a jury in the Atlantic county court. The disappearance of Jane Adams and the finding of her body in the surf nine days later created a sensation in this section of New Jersey. Seyler, who is a young married man of At lantic City, accompanied Jane Adams to a moving picture show on the pier. They were accompanied by Seyler's brother, Orvis. ana Miss Adams sis ter, Alice, both younger than the prin cipals in the tragedy. Later in the evening Seyler,and Jane Adams went to the ocean end of the pier and the younger pair returned to their homes. Jane Adams never returned home and the following day the two Seylers dis appeared. On February 13 the body of Jane Adams was found in the surf at. Chelsea. Suspicion having been directed to the Seylers. search was made for them and a week later they were found in Petersburg, Va. William Seyler de nied all knowledge of the girl, but lat er confessed, declaring, it is alleged, that Jane Adams met her death acci dentally while with him rear the end of the pier. Reports of the alleged methods used in wringing a confession from William Seyler were such as to prompt a United States senator to introduce, a resolution in the senate inquiring into the "third degree" methods of police authorities throughout the country. No charges were preferred against Orvis Seyler. COL HARRISON IS DEAD. Wealthy and Prominent Citizen of Topeka Gone. After an illness of several months Col. Thomas W.

The Chicago Tribune, which is pub lishing a symposium of congressional views on the Republican situation, has the following from Kanras senators and representatives: Joseph Bri&tow I am styled an "in surgent Republican," I suppose, be cause I voted against the Payne-Al- drich tariff bill. I voted against that bill because it was framed more with a view of benefiting cc-ta'n manufac turing interests and monopolies than of contributing to the general welfare of the American people. I am op posed to all legislation of that charac ter, whether it be a railroad bill, a cur rency measure, or a tariff bill. Upon such legislation I usually disagree with Mr. Aldrich and a number of Re publican leaders of the senate, and therefore vote independently; that is, I endeavor to determine for myself, from my own investigation, how I ought to vote upon imnortant meas ures affecting the interests of my con stituents, instead of allowing some one else to determine that for me. I am a Republican, and am adhering faithful ly to the fundamental principles and policies of the party to which I belong, and I protest against that great party being made by any congressional oli garchy the handmaiden of the special interests of the country Because of this independence on the part of a. number of Republican senators they are styled "insurgents." Charles Curtis I was elected as a Republican. I believe in standing by the administration. It is proper to fight for amendments embodying one's views, but if the majority thinks dif ferent, it is time to yield. I don't be lieve in stabbing the partv In the back. D. R. Anthony. Jr. I am a regu lar Republican because I thoroughly believe in the principles of the Repub lican party. Ours is a government by political parties, thropgh which the majority of thejjcople give expression to their ideas ksto the way the gov ernment should be administered. The only manner in which th; expressions of the majority of the people can be put into force is by majority rule, and the Republican or Democrat who does not abide by the majc-itv rule of his party can not truthfully say he be lieves in the principles of either party, but is. in fact, a traitor to the party with which he pretends to affiliate. I am a regular Republican because I believe that my party !s the only party which has the capacity at the present day to solve satisfactorily every prob lem of government before the people of the United States. Charles F. Scott I am a Republi can because I am in accord with the principles and policies of that party as laid down in its national platforms and because I believe it better quali fied than any other party to conduct the government of the United States. I am a regular Republican because I believe that the only way the party can enact its pledges into law and thus keep faith with the people is through the harmonious co-operation of the president with the representatives of the party in the house and senate. P. P. Campbell Answering your question as to why I am a regular Re publican: Because I am a Republican; because I can do more to promote the general welfare by constant and regu lar action with men who work along the same general lines than by alter nating in action between men who work along different lines: because for half a century the Republican party has been the only party with a co hesive organization, capable of keep ing the laws abreast with the coun try's progress; because, by a majority rule in the house in the last seven years it has enacted 17.054 laws, in cluding the Roosevelt policies, and all so good that no party would repeal any of them but one; because I am not attracted to either a regular or ganization or a temporary coalition of mere fault finders. I do not look upon a man as a useful member who is en rolled in one church and teaches Sun day school class in another and is al ways in doubt as to which has the best festivals.

Figures on the Importation of Birds in 1909. Washington. May 25. Canaries constituted eighty per cent of the song birds imported last year, nearly 375, 000 of these pets singing their way in to American ports in 1909, according to a report by the biological survey. Of the remaining 100,000 birds, al most 60,000 were non-game while the rest were game birds. The greatest increase over the previous year's im portations was in game birds, which gained 100 per cent owing to a large number of English partridges of which 29.452 were imported in 1909 as against 10,000 the year before. DENOUNCE COLOR LINE. Public Criticism Heaped Cpon Sunday School Convention. Washington, May 23. Discussion is hot today in the world's sixth Sunday school convention over the criticisms which some of the British delegates publicly heaped on the Washington committee in the churches yesterday for barring the negro delegates of the District of Columbia from the mammoth parade last Friday. With two exceptions the criticizing sermons were made by white men and in addition to the English speakers, two American delegates, W. N. Harts horn, of Boston and Louis Stroiber of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, denounc ed tha drawing of the color line. The Rev. Dr. John Dube, a Sulu delegate got up at one of the meetings and declared that he had been ad mitted to hotels in London and New York, but not so in Washington. I he whole incident has stirred up varied feelings and it is not improb able that the question may be carried into the convention. The day's work began with eight simultaneous conferences, in which teachers assembled in divisions and discussed the special branches of work they follow, and then reassembled in convention hall, the results and re commendations of the conference were presented to the convention and discussed. Marian Lawrence of the North American section, was in charge of the big meeting. The Algerian mission band also had ,a. session today under the direction of its president, Mrs. v. B. G. Kawson. The afternoon session was divided into two simultaneous meetings at which reports from the field were pre sented. Cope's wagons or city market house. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, May 23. WHEAT Big selling by a leading bear operator here demoral ized wheat prices today. There was also much liquidation and simultaneously shorts were covering on a large scale. A decided break in values at Liverpool emphasized the bearish feeling. Prom inent bulls changed their attitude to the extent of admitting openly that hopes for an upturn were now based only on a be lief in a shortage of a winter crop with no reference to the product of the spring wheat country. The bears maintained that continued buying on a wide scale would be necessary to maintain and that in the end an export level would be in evitable. Rain west and southwest in creased the discomfiture of the bulls. The opening was both weak and irregular, ranging from c to 2c lower, the latter for the May delivery. September started ?ic to (Slc down at 98c to 98c, touched 9Sc and rallied to 9Sc. Under hammering by pit traders Sep tember again declined, going to 9Tc. Mav which hroke four cents, fluctuated rather wildly until local longs came to the rescue.

CORN Corn started easier on scattered commission and pit selling but later re ceived from support from the chief seller of wheat. September showed a loss of Vic to c in first transactions, selling at 60c to 60c. A rally to 61c followed. The market after touching 61c for Sep tember weakened with wheat. The close was steady at 60c, the same as me iinai OTS Oats were easier on general un loading by longs. September opened c oft at 38c and declined to 37c. PROVISIONS The provision market was a trifle weak early for lard and pork but firmer for ribs. Later a fair demand developed for the first named articles and there was a small net advance. -Open, ing prices for September were: Pork 522 60 to $22.65; lard, $12.42; ribs, $12.32 to $12 40.

Ill Tin Cans and Eubbiik to B EemoTed. Happy Familj-Cats and Dogs at Station No. 1. Ia the l-i'.l of the discussion this morn.n? ai t the place of holding the avia.;a rst! a cheering note of aa tithar t'-ase of optimism, was sound ed 02 th North s:de. This m the cat-re of a query: "Why not a band cr cr-hera composed of North side ieopie?"

In fact, tr questions brought out the fact that in addition to the Grant school orchestra there are a number of musicians on the North side, who u--i to be ider-t.ried with orsaniza- t o.us cf th: :nd. It wtU be remem bered th.it Marshall's band is a North side institution. Of this hand, several sti.i live in the First ward. Others n'r.j used to pUy with the organiza tion, are n't playing now. but would pro -ably renew the.r musical interest if others would push the proposition at the start. It was i3 proposed if a brass band is not formed, that with the Grant school orchestra as a nucleus a. First ward orchestra, including younz play ers and others miaht be brought To gether and trained into good shape. In this connection it was stated that th- Grin! school closed in a short frre and a movement toward a North side orchestra wouid kep up the in terest of the who"! musicians which ctherw.se m:ht siaok up while school was not in session. At present the matter i: "form or void." but it is not without iniikely from prcent indications that these who are interested in the proposition will e-.tuaily organize. an t ail rar'-aze you can. and an t."

Perhaps the fact that Harry whose appear ance sustrests his name is a rat ter ror and has an Inherited tendency to destroy rats is the great thin in com m n which he has with the cats.

A Topeka man's recent visit in Kan sas City ret-aiis his boyhood experience m thai city. He had always wisied to set into rwspaper work and eventally be came a printer's de-riL Then he be Tan to "chase items' for a country weekiy. When he had risen that far in the profession h chanced to visit in. Kan sas City. Just before leaving ha hap teaed to think that profcably now was th opportunity of his life. So he en tered a his- dingy office where one of the largest papers in the city is pub-tlsi-.e.. It was early in the evenirig The building- was fiiied with men busy with the rush of getting oat a moT-uns metropolitan paper. Confused by th bustle around him, the boy went cp the fcig stairs and :n ord his way to the reporter's room Timidly he ventured in and asked for the city editor. Ke knew that mach at least about a city daily). Then he approached the man who was pointed out to him. The city editor was working; at a Ion? desk with sev eral others. His head was Trent over sum "copy." The boy be?an to real ize how little he was qualified for the cmpktyniSLt he ;ousht. and he couldn't set up courage to speak. Finally one ot" the men at the desk looked np and took in the zreen country boy at a gianee. bu; perhaps the memory of his own firt entry into newspaper wora c&used him to say. not unkindly: "What is it b---y?"' The lad looked di His saze fe!I or. the neatly dressed man and then on his own ill-fitting country store clothes. He never had felt so uacomfortahis in his life. He felt his face growing hoc. And perhaps the man ax the desk knew what waj passing ia the youth's mind, for he asked aeain. shortly but not unpleasantly: "What can I do for yon, x.y boy?'" -o cochin.?." was the stammered reply. "I I 5-ues Im In the wrong p 'ace." Notes ami Persona Is. F R. Crouch has returned from a short visit in Kansas City.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL -MONDAY EVENING. MAY 23,1910. STUBBSTO STICH. Governor Pays Respects to Wag staff's Mauager. Says He Is a Standard Oil Satellite. SIX YEARS' HISTORY. Keyiews Reforms of Progressive Element of Party. Mentions Stanley and Fitzpat rick in Passing. Governor Stubbs has at last taken no tice of A. C. Stich, manager of the Wag staff campaign. This notice is not com plimentary, or anything like that, but then it is a notice, and the first one vouchsafed so far during the campaign. The governor reviews the political his tory of the state during the past six years and then proceeds to answer the 6-tich questions by hitching the Inde pendence banker up with the Standard Oil company. He al.so incidentally yokes Governor Stanley up with the Harves ter trust. The governor's latest state ment, -which is patterned after his re cent speeches in the west, is as follows: "During the past six years there has teen a constant struggle between the 'stand-pat' or regular Republicans and the progressive element of the Repub lican party in Kansas. The 'stand patters' have consistently and persis tently opposed the enactment of prac tically all the reform measures that liave been enacted into law during this time. They have been especially bitter In Their opposition to the primary elec tion law which takes political power from professional politicians and places it in the hands of the people; the anti pass law, which next to the primary flection law disorganized machine poli tics; the two-cent fare order and 1 ealthy railroad legislation which gives relief to shippers. They have also op posed all anti-trust and anti-monopoly regulation. "In the fight against these measures the leading machine politicians had trie support, financial and otherwise, of the railroads, breweries, and the big mon opolies and combines generally through cut the country. "The progressive element of the party initiated the above legislation and mado h strong and vigorous fight for its en actment into law. After the reform measures were written into the statute took every Republican convention pointed with pride to these laws. "There is now another contest, being waged in the Republican party be tween these two elements. The pro gressive Republicans are unanimously and aggressively in favor of the en actment of a public utilities law that will give to the state ample power to control all state-wide corporations, in cluling telephones, telegraphs, express, Pullman service and more than all others, railroad corporations, while the recognized professional leaders of the old machine are making a bitter fight against the enactment of this meas ure. "The progressive Republicans are unanimously, insofar as I know, in favor of adopting the Oregon system which provides for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people in November following the nomi nation in August in substantially the Of Course you want quality that will be satisfac tory then if you are a carefull buyer you will buy where you can buy the cheapest!

State Courts Before Federal Courts. "There is a strong sentiment throughout the state favoring the en actment of a law which will compel corporations to test the constitutional ity of state laws in the supreme court of our state before appealing to the federal court for injunctions to nullify the operation of such laws. The ma chine leaders are opposing this also. "The governor should have authority under proper restrictions to suspend from office, pending investigation, county officials charged with enforce ment of law, or else be exempted from criticism if the law is not properly en forced in their jurisdiction. The enactment of an employers' liability law which conforms in a gen eral way with the federal law, would give protection to labor that it de serves under the laws in this state. "Bootleggers and whiky peddlers should be sent to the penitentiary upon conviction of violating th- prohibitory law. This would permanently rid the state of a large number of undesir able citizens. "Everv employer of libor knows that it is necessary for him to have the power and authority to discharge an employe who does not render faith ful service. The same power and au thority should be vested in the people or Kansas who are. as a matter of fact, employers of all public officers. A law giving the right to the voters to recall the governor, congressman. Lnited States senator, state or county officers, who prove unfaithful or inef ficient would be of inestimable value to the public service. I am asking for renominatlon to the highest office within the gift of the people of Kansas on the proposition that I have faithfully and successfully fulfilled every pledge which I made before I was elected two years ago. I am asking this renomination on the further proposition that during the past six years together with an army or the best citizens of this state, re gardless of party. I have worked faith fully and earnestly to break down the old political machine that had abso lute control and domination of the state and county governments and were enjoying many special privileges like the state printer and state treas ury grafts, the free railrond pass, car rying on the payroll of the legislature an army of over four hundred em ployes and other grabs and grafts of less importance. "I challenge the men who are op posing my renomination to show one single law that I have ever supported that was not in the interest of the gen eral public and that was not calculat ed to give to the average voter more privileges and justice. "If the public utilities law and oth er measures which I have referred to are enacted at the next session of the legislature the men who are in favor of progressive methods in our state government will be obliged to take an active part in selecting candidates for the legislature who are at heart and in principle in favor of these meas ures. The time for becoming a can didate will expire within about thirty days from this date and every friend of good government in the state ought to take time to help secure the nom ination of men who are publicly pledged to progressive measures. A Mud Slinging Campaign. "The old machine leaders who are promoting and financing the opposi tion to me at this time are making a mud-slinging campaign which is cal culated to obscure from view the im portant measures tha; ought to be enacted into law by the next legisla ture. They are evidently doing every thing in their power to divert public attention away from the legislature and the importance of nominating competent men in sympathy with the prevailing public sentiment in this state until after the time for filling nomination papers expires, which is June 24th. "They are circulating sensational reports which have been told and re told by these same old politicians for many months and in some cases for several years, throughout the length and breadth of Kansas, to the effect that I am extravagant and wasteful in the management of public business; that I have increased the state taxes more than one million dollars in a year and numerous other false and absurd statements of this character. "I demand again that Mr. WagstafT specify the institution, department or items that are extravagant, or ac knowledge that the above statements are false or that he has been misin formed. Respects to Stk-h, Fitzgerald and Stanley. "They charge me with standing in with the Standard Oil company and a lot of nonsense of that sort which shows the desperate straits they are in for campaign material. Not that this charge needs any defense, but simply to show the ridiculous as well as the vicious tendency of these old politi cians who have been separated from their fat jobs by the primary election law, I desire to call your attention to the fact that alter l had put a lot or money into the oil business some years ago, while the price was $1 to $1.25 and $1.35 per barrel, the Standard Oil company, who has despotic control of prices of oil, forced prices down to 35 cents per barrel and at that ruin ous price they have been taking for the most of the time for the past three years all the way from no oil at all for a part of this time up to one fourth, one-third and one-half of our total product. If the Standard Oil company is so friendly to me why does ex-Governor Stanley, the chief counsel for that company and Harvester trust; Sam Fitzpatrick. the political man ager of the Standard Oil company, and Mr. Stich, the Kansas banker of the Standard Oil company, not support me instead of spending their valuable time and somebody's money to nomin ate Mr. Wagstaff As a matter of fact I have no doubt in my own mind that I could have secured the earnest sup port of the chief counsel, the political agent and the local banker of the Standard Oil company in Kansas if I had used my influences to prevent the ouster proceedings being prosecuted against this corporation for the viola tion of state laws as I have been ask ed many times to do by its representa tives during the last twelve months, and also have been asked the same fa vor by representatives of the Harves ter trust against whom the state has had ouster proceedings and secured a judgment of guilty of violation of state laws during the past year." DIES IN FIREMAN'S ARMS. Fire Victim Expires While Being Carried to Safety. New York, May 23. There were sensational rescues by firemen today in a blazing tenement on East Sev entieth street. Mrs. Mary Miller died in a fireman's arms from the effect of smoke Inhalation, after she had been dragged to the roof, while her hus band, clutching the eleven months old son of the couple, was rescued just in time by another fireman. Meanwhile tenants were being car- Tied down lad-ders and dropped into life nets. Fully 40 persons were tak en in this way from the burning struc ture, where members of sixteen fam ilies had been trapped. IS ALL JHE TALK. Interest in Aviation Growing Stronger as Days Pass. Will Be One of Greatest Events in History of Topeka. TO SOAR LIKE BIRDS. Airships Will Fly Over Soil of Kansas for First Time. Thousands Will Witness Big Do ings of Unman Eagles. "It's all the talk on the streets," said one of the state fair managers, today, in speaking of the coming aviation meet whih will be held June 7, 8 and 9, "although people seem hardly to realize what a big thing it will be." Newspapers throughout the state are giving the Topeka meet much space. Some of them are putting their stories of the great event on front page, and are using large headlines. This even ing, Eugene B. Stotts, in charge of newspaper publicity, is sending out to 300 papers in all parts of Kansas further dope about the flying contest. Twenty thousand flaring posters showing the execution of daring feats on the nart of aviators in midair will toon be distributed far and wide. All railway lines entering Topeka are preparing to run excursions into the capital city in order to accommodate the tens of thousands of people who will take advantage of their first op portunity to see the "bird men" oper ate their heavier-than-air machines. Money Talks. "Money talks with the aviation men," said T. A. Borman, of the state fair board of managers. "Mr. Sutton, the representative of Glenn H. Curtiss, -who was here in Topeka. says that before making a flight they gel the 'mon' in their hands usually in gold ana go over to where their wives are sitting, and turning the coin over to them bid them an affectionate farewell as though there were a chance that they would never be able to say goodby again. "Mr. Sutton says that the thrilling part of the flight of a bi-plane is the start as the machines make a noise like a battery of artillery.' At Los Angeles thousands of ranchmen, cowboys, ana townspeople in automobiles, turned out to see the flights. On the second day of the big international aviation meet at which Curtiss -won most of the hon ors, thousands paid their dollar to en ter the aviation field so that they could see the flights at close range and touch the machines. A Great Event. 'I tell you this meet is going to be the greatest thing that has happened in Topska for years. Rain needn't scare the crowd away, as it is only a high wind that will prevent the bi-planes from soaring. If Topeka hadn't secur ed this meet some other .Kansas town would have done so, and in fact were negotiating with Curtiss people. To peka ought to consider herself lucky to have secured tne nrst meet or tne Kina that has ever been held in the middle west. Associated Press to Handle It. 'Every day the Associated Press will send out reports of what the 'human birds are doing, and in this way the whole country will know that Topeka is a place where they do things." J. C. Mars and Charles sr. Wlllard are both expert operators. Mr. Sutton says that there is no reason in the world why a record should not oe broken. Big Crowds Expected. Between now and June 7 there will be a lot of hustling done in order to prepare for the great throngs of peo ple that are expected to attend tha meet. There will be a thousand and one details seen to which will crop up just at the last minute. The board cf managers of the state fair are busy men. Hotels Will Be Full. During "Aviation and Merchant? week" the hotels will be doing a rush business, and boarding and rooming houses will be taxed to their utmost capacity, and incidentally the stores will be doing a brisk business. Tuesday, the opening day, will be Topeka day" and according to the in terest which is being shown in the meet, homes will be deserted at that time, to a large extent, while the in mates see for the first time biplanes soaring over Kansas soil. Stores will be closed for the after noon, as will the Santa Fe offices and shops, according to a statement made by E. L. Copeland. Kansas avenue will present a gala aspect all bedecked with bunting. SCURLOCK TO SPEAK. Kansas City Realty Man Is to Address Ad Club. Lewis H. Scurlock, president of the Provident Land company of Kansas City, Mo., will be the speaker at the meetino- of the Topeka Ad club tomor row noon. Mr. Scurlock is the sort of a man who "takes on propositions."

Paper Currency Is Declared to Be Laden With Disease Germs. New York. May 23. Officers of the board of health here have again call ed attention to the perils that lurk in germ laden paper money. Soiled bills, they say, are found to contain an aver age of 142,000 bacteria each,, and al though some of these germs have lost their virulence, the money must re main an object of suspicion and an actual menace to the health of the community. Urging rapid withdrawal from cir culation of soiled bills, the health offi cers quote from a New York medical publication: "It has been ascertained that money can be infected by handling; it has also ben shown that the germs of diphtheria and tuberculosis may live on infected bills for several days. There is little doubt that disease is spread in ways that we know not even In these times of advanced research. If paper money does spread disease, though but to an extremely small ex tent, this is reason sufficient to insist upon quick renewal of dirty bills. ROBBED OF HER HAIR. Maiden Did Not Discover Her Loss for Some Hours. New York, May 23. The police here are looking for a thief whose act of petty larceny is without precedent in the records of the New York de tective bureau. Under cover of a crowd at an open air suffragette meet ing in Union Square a few days ago, he snipped off twelve inches of hair from the head of Miss Jeannette Lo plitz, a 16-year-old girl student in Columbia universitq. Her hair was worn in a long braid down her back, fastened with a ribbon at her neck. The end of the braid hung below her waist. She did not discover her loss until she was about to retire for the night. The police believe that the person who clipped her hair was either a joker with a perverted conception of humor or some one who wished to sell the hair. CHANDLER WINS CASE.
