Attorney General Wickersham Will Begin Proceedings To Stop the Proposed Increase in Freight Rates. WILL ASK L JUNCTION. Case Will Be Filed in Federal Conrt in St. Louis. Text of the Bill Has Gone For ward by Telegraph. Washington. May 31. A decision at a White House conference this morn ing between the pdesident and Attor ney Genera! Wickersham to institute at once injunction proceedings, prob ably at St. Louis, against the Western Traffic association to prevent a gen eral increase in freight rates tomor row, preceded by but half an hour the introduction In the senate of a resolution by Senator La Follette de claring it to be the sense of that body that such an injunction suit should be brought. None of the senators in the chamber when Mr. La Follette put in his resolution knew of the decision already reached. Senator Crane. Massachusetts, who saw the president at the conclusion of the conference w ith the attorney general was the first to tike the news to the capitol. Senator La Follette was prevented from maging a speech in support of his resolution by the determination of Senator Elkins to recall up railroad bill for immediate consideration. Attorney General Wickersham, after attending the sitting of the United States supreme court, had a serif s of conferences with senators and It was decided that Senator Curtis. Kansas. should make the reply to Sf-nator La Follette if the resolution should again be called up. The decision to institute injunction proceed inss followed a conference in this city yesterday between Attorney General Wickersham and a committee representing shippers, consumers and producers in the territory affected by the proposed increase in rates. This committee w as accompanied to the de- J partment of justice bv Senators Clapp. Minnesota: Cullum, Illinois, and War ner, Missouri, and Representatives Xye. Minnesota; Hitchcock and Xor ris, Nebraska; Hubbard, Iowa: Mad den. Illinois, and Stafford. Wisconsin. The committee protested vigorously against the proposed increases. The dtails of the legal proceedings telegrarhed to St. Louis to be filed in The details of the legal proceedings were left by the president entirely In the hands of Attorney General Wicker sham and the department of justice of ficials. Mr. Wickersham's conference with the president was a hurried one, but it is understood the matter was discussed at some length by the presi dent at the cabinet meeting this after noon. President Taft regards this situation as renewed evidence of the importance of the provision in the administration Mil now- pending in congress, which if enacted, will give the interstate com merce commission the right to suspenl for 60 days any proposed increase in railroad rates. In this period the com mission, it is proposed, shall institute an investigation to determine whether the increase is justified: If this pro vision were law the injunction proceed-in.-! authorized today would not be necessary. It is understood that the bill of In junction has been prepared for several fiays and that the text of it has been t'reraphed to Chicago to be filed in the United States court there. LA FOLLETTE-S PLAN. He Would Head Off Rate Increase by Joint Resolution. Washington. May 31. Senator La Follette today introduced a resolution declaring that the attorney general should institute a suit to enjoin the advancement of railways rates and sought to introduce a joint resolution declaring it to be unlawful to advance rates without the consent of the inter state commerce commission. The Wisconsin senator entered the senate chamber early in the day's ses sion. The morning business had not been concluded when he presented his first resolution, a mere declaration pur porting to give the views of the senate. It v.-"- in as a part of the routine business, but when he requested pres ent consideration for it objection was voiced by Senator Elkins. 'I want to get the railroad bill up. said Mr. Elkins, "and must object tc everything." The effect of Mr. Elkins" objection was to prevent consideration today. "It will take up less time now to dis Tf,se of the subject in ,the form of a resolution than later when it will be offered as an amendment to the rail road bill." protested Senator LaFollette. The resolution recited that the rail roads had announced a general ad vance in all class and commodities ratps and after presenting several oth er considerations by way of preamble Proceeded: "Resolved. That it is the sense of the senate that the attorney general should proceed at once to institute action en joining such advances as have been and may be filed with the interstate commerce commission and should also Institute prosecutions, of the railroadj filing such rates as being in violation of the act of congress approved July 2, l9n. entitled an act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful re straints and monopolies." When a few moments afterwards Mr. LaFolIeLte sought to present a Joint resolution requiring the action of both houses. Mr. Elkins met the move with a request that the railroad bill be ta ken up. Mr. LaFollette retaliated by suggesting the absence of a quorum. A quorum being shown by a roll call. Mr. Elkins moved the consideration of the railroad bill. Mr. LaFollette want ed to debate that motion but when in tormed under the rules It could not be discussed he took his seat declaring that he would be heard later. The Joint resolution would direct that tntil October 31. 1910. unless the inter vale commerce commission otherwise ordered, k shall be unlawful for any interstate railroad to collect a greater compensation than the charge fixed in ,relPut,lishl'd schedule of May 1- Uio. This would prevent the tak r.g effect of all the increases of which tie railroads recently gave notice. r The resolution would also direct that hereafter applications to advance rates shall be made to the interstate com merce commission. It would provide for reductions and would authorize the commission to grant applications if it was found that the proposed rate was reasonable, fair and Just. Senator LaFollette said he had in troduced his rate resolution because the increases to be made by railroads, rang ing, according to his estimates, from 5 to SO per cent, would impose intolerable burdens on the people. He declared that the excuse given that the increases were made because of advanced wages amounts to "mere pretense and that the higher rates would result in annual profits to the railways of from $400,000, 000 to J800 000,000." He believed that the notice that the rates would take effect tomorrow was "for the purpose of beating out the railroad bill with its probable prohibi tion against rates being advanced with out the approval of the interstate com merce commission." NEW YORK TO CHICAGO. A 825,000 Prize to Fly Distance of ,960 Miles. Chicago. May 31. Chicago aviators are enthusiastic over the proposed aero plane flight from New York to this city. Several have expressed their will ingness to rarse the balance of a $25,000 prize, for the feat, J2.000 of which al ready has been pledged by Charles K. Hamilton in New York, who suggested the undertaking. The distance from Chicago to New York is about 960 miles. Edward E. Herbert, president of the Illinois Aeroplane club, was delight ed with the protoral. "The money can be raised without any effort," he said. "I can promise w ith almost certainty that our club will come down with $500. If the club will ii-ot, I am willing to put up $500 for that kind of flight." James E. Plew. first president of the Aero club of Illinois, says there Is not the slightest doubt of Hamilton's pro posal for the great test going through. "It will be easy to raise, the money right here in Chicago without calling on New York at all." he said. "New York to Chicago is certainly the next big thins in aeronautics." WANT TO MOVE IT. Effort Being Made to Transfer Gas Suit to Federal Court. The defense of the Consumers' Light. Heat and Power company in the damage suit instituted against it in district court by Arthur Capper and 36 insurance companies for the gas ex plosion in the Capper building last winter has filed a petition in that court asking that the case be removed to the United States district court of the first division of Kansas for trial. Grounds for the removal are cited as the fact that the litigation is between parties of various states. The defense" claims also that Manager L. G. Treleaven of the local company has no interest whatever in the suit and alleges that the attorney for the plaintiffs made him a defendant for the sole purpose of preventing the litigation being brought before a federal court. The amount of damage asked by the plaintiffs is $2,000. The defense has furnished a gilt-edged bond of $500 with their petition for removal. AGE LIMIT 75. Champ Clark Says He Will Then Re tire From Public Life. Washington, May 31. Representative Champ Clark of Missouri, the minority leader of the house, has set for him self an approximate age limit in public life, at about 75 years of age. "The people may set my time of re tirement a little earlier than that." ne suggested laughingly when discussing political age limits with a newspaper man today. "So far as I know the only public man who set an age limit on his service and lived up to it was Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina, speaker and senator." said Mr. Clark. "When in- his prime he set the exact age at which he would retire. When that day arrived he was in the midd'e of a senatorial term, but kept his word and re-signed. He was one of the greatest men of that era." HIS TIRE BLEW OUT. On a Motorcycle Fred Huyck Was Going a 75 Mile Clip. Chicago. May 31. Fred Huyck, tlvs motor cycle rider, had a narrow escape from death yesterday at the Hawthorne trad, when his rear tire blew out, throwing him clear across the track. The spill came in the second lap of a, ten mile handicap race just as Huyck reached the turn at the foot of th.; home stretch, going at a rate of about 75 miles an hour. When he went down in a cloud of dust the spectators in the stands, among whom was his mother, started a rush for the scene of the ac-cidei-t. His mother was one of the first to rc.ch him after he got up. but he greeted her with n smile and assured her that nothing serious had resulted. Huyck established a new world's rec ord of 9:15 4-5 for ten miles on a dirt track. The former mark was 9:17. made bv him at Detroit. MAY USE GRAPE JUICE.

Rooserelt Glres Englishmen Some Pointed Ad rice Regarding Their" Duty to the African Dependencies. POINTS OUT ERRORS. Timidity and Sentimentality Worse Than Injustice. He Is Presented With the Free dom of London. London, May 31. Theodore Roosevelt was today presented with the freedom of the city of London, and he accepted the honor with a literalism that led him into a frankness of speech that created a sensation in old Guild hail As the former head of a country that once paid tribv e to Great Britain, the American statesman gave the mother land some bold advice as to her duty toward her most troublesome dependen cy in Africa. It was, Mr. Roosevelt said, either right or not right for Great Britain to be in Egypt and establish order there. If it was not right she should get out. Mr. Roosevelt eulogized British rule In Uganda and the Sudan. He also de clared that Great Britain had given l'SJ'Pt the best government that th.! country had had in 2.000 years, but in certain vital points it had erred. Tim- idity ard sentimentality, he sajd, nrlght cause more harm tnan violence ana in justice. "Sentimenality." he added, "is the most broken reed on which righteous ness can lean." Mr. Roosevelt denounced the Nation alist party of Egypt as neuher desirous ror capable of guaranteeing primary justice. It was trying to bring murder ous chaos on the land. Some nation, said the former presi cent, must govern Egypt. He hoped and believed that the English would decide that the duty was theirs. Gives Them a Thrill. As a whole he speech constituted the most forcible expression on foreign top ics thai the distinguished visitor has made during his European tour. He dwelt principally on the British policy in Egypt, which is today one of the m03t discussed .f Great Britain s colon ial questions. His outspoken views sent a thrill through the 1.000 auditors which is likely to be felt outside the walls of the ancient council hall. Guild hall has been the scene of many stirring events since Its erection early in the fifteenth century. It was there that the trials of Anne Askew, the Earl of Surrey and Lady Jane were held, but no audience of modern times has Us-ened more intently to the pro ceedings therein than did that which gathered today to hear the former president of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt was driven in state from Ambassador Reld's home to Guild hall, but the weather was not propi tious and comparatively few persons witnessed the procession. Rain fell throughout the morning and only a few hundred persons were gathered in the vicinity of Dorchester house to witness the departure or In King street, when Mr. Roosevelt arrived at the hall. He occupied the lord mayor's coach and this was followed by the coaches of the sheriffs, who wore their uniforms of office. In Gold Casket. The guests of the city government at Guild hall included many American and English business men besides the of ficials of the city. The latter were in uniform and occupied seats on the plat form to which Mr. Roosevelt was es corted. The parchment conveying to M-. Roosevelt the freedom of the city was contained in a beautiful gold casket, the presentation was made by Sir Joseph Cookfteld Dimsdale. the city chamberlain who, extending his hand to the city's guest spoke briefly. Sir Joseph dwelt particularly on Great Britain's friendship towards the United States. Following the exercises Sir John Knill. the lord mayor of London, entertained Mr. Roosevelt at a private luncheon at which many prominent personages wera present. The casket present"" to Mr. Roose velt was oblong in form, the front and reverse side being divided Into four panels bearing enamel painted views of Guild hall, the Mansion house. Si. Paul's cathedral and the Tower bridge. The center was occupied by the full blazon of the city arms in enamel with an ornamental shield below containing the inscription. At the four corners were enameled the arms of England, and the United States, the city shield and the union jack. The base was t f solid silver, having at one end a finelly mouidel American bison and at the other end a British lion. The base stood up on eight bold feet with a low er pedestal of oak and velvet. MUST BE SHOWN. Uncle Sam Not Ready to Recognize Eitler Faction in Nicaragua. Washington, May 31. There is no reasonable doubt that the United States will hold that the Estrada fac tion in Nicaragua Is entitled to collect the customs at Bluefields It is pointed out that the capture of the customs house building, several miles away from the city of Bluefields, should not be a controlling factor in the matter, inasmuch as the city of Bluefields is the customs port and that the bluff with the customs house build ing may be recaptured by the Estrada army within a short time. The fact is also recalled that when the Estrada army had penetrated the west coast to a point where it seemed for the time being that it would be in full control of the government machinery on that coast the United States authorities did not change their attitude with respect to the collection of the customs, but permited the Madriz faction to con tinue to make the collections. State department officials again de clare that the letter to Mr. Rodriguez several months ago, by which official relations with Nicaragua were severed, correctly stated the attitude of the United States. Neither faction will be recognized until it has demonstrated the fact that it is in full control of the state of Nicaragua and fully cap able of meeting all of Its governmental obligations.

United States and Mexico to Hern iate Aerial Flights. Washington, May 31 Aerial navi gation has made such rapid progress that Secretary of State Knox and the government of Mexico are negotiat ing an aviation treaty governing the passage of airships across the bor der line between these two countries. It will be the first treaty governing aviation between nations and is al ready on the road to completion. In formation from the state department is that Mr. Knox is only awaiting the text of Mexico's proposition in detail before taking final action on the terms which will govern the agree ment. Realizing the progress made in aer ial navigation the possibility of using airships to avoid customs regulations or even to bring In immigrants is al ready a question which the Mexican government feels must be given con sideration. The plan is to make compulsory the registration of airships which cross the border and to exact that opera tors of these machines be supplied with copies of the regulations which must not be violated. NEW WIRELESS FEAT. Boy Scoots Interest Signal Corps Of ficers In Work. New Tork, May 31. A new wire less feat which has been accomplish ed "under service conditions." by a bicycle squadron of boy scout militia In Brooklyn, has attracted the atten tion of army men at Governor's Is land and may be taken up by the United States signal corps. Two youthful members of the Brooklyn militia organization have perfected a wireless outfit which they attach to their bicycles and use for the trans mission of messages at distances up to two miles. The aerials are erected on the handlebars of the bicycles and extend ten feet in the air. Three wires are strung upon both machines and con nected -with induction, coils with a transmission power of 80,000 volts. The boy operators have become so familiar with the apparatus that they send and receive messages easily while riding and during rapid man euvers. FORGOT HIS KEYS. Senator Dolliver Breaks Into His Homo Through a Window. Washington, May 31. The spectacle of a United States senator breaking into his own house was witnessed by a few passersby on fashionable Massa chusetts avenue last night. The sen ator had been guilty of the trick that is common enough among those of more modest estate forgotten his keys. Senator Dolliver of Iowa, was the housebreaker. He had been with members of his family on a trip to Mount Vernon. On his return to his home he reached for his keys, only to find them missing left in another suit. The customary movements having been devoted to an expression of views upon the contretemps, a reviewal of the situation, a fruitless ringing of the bell and discussion of ways and means, the party repaired to the rear, where Senator Dolliver finally suc ceeded in jimmying open a window. Boosted by his young son. he man aged to get astride the sill and into the house. It was then an easy mat ter to admit the others of the party. KAISER IS IMPROVING. But He Misses the Annual Rev-lew for the First Time. Potsdam, May 31. The abscess on the right wrist of Emperor William is healing and his majesty's physicians appear to be satisfied with the results of their treatment. The emperor remains at the new palace where King Albert of Belgium, who arrived yesterday, is being enter tained. For the first time in his reign the emperor failed today to attend the an nual review of the garrison at Pots dam.

WAR INTHE AIR; Glenn Curtiss Is Enthusiastic Oyer Possibilities Of Aeroplanes for Fighting: Fu ture Battles. THEY COULD SNEAK UP And Destroy a City or a Fort, He Says. By Dropping Down Dynamite or Picric Acid. New Tork, May 31. The Curtiss flight from Albany to New York has started anew the discussion as to the possible availability of the aeroplane as a means of offense In time of war fare Glenn H. Curtiss i: an enthu siastic believer In the "aeroplane war ship" armed with dynamite and picric acid bombs for the destruction of hos tile fleets, fortifications and cities. "All the great battles of the future will be fought In the air," declared Curtiss. Army men are not so certain as to the use of the aeroplane in time of war. Most of the officers stationed at Governor's Island, while willing to admit that the aeroplane should be invaluable for scouting purposes, are skeptical as to its value in offensive warfare. In the opinion of Brigadier General Walter Howe, commanding the de partment of the east, the aeroplane could not be a dangerous factor in a hostile attack on New Tork. "Flying low, shrapnel would get it," he said, "while flying high, its bomb could do no harm. "We have made some experiments with balloons, and have found that with shrapnel we can wreck them at certain ranges. What results would be obtained were aeroplanes used Is another question. If they were oper ated as high and as fast as Curtiss flew, it is probable that nothing at all would happen to the aeroplane. and if the aeroplane tried to hurt us at Its dizzy altitude, we would prob ably escape unhurt, too." Curtiss, In a long statement given out here today, pictures the aeroplanes as a war menace and discusses the possibility of effecting the destruction of New Tork City or West Point by means of bombardment from a fleet of aeroplanes. "It would be perfectly practicable," he said, "to drop enough dynamite or picric acid down on a city like New Tork to destroy It utterly Of course, the speed of a flying machine can not be reduced below 45 or SO miles an hour, a speed necessary to keep it aloft.. So to hover over cities or forti fications you must circle around or swoop down from a great height and thus get near enough to the objective point to discharge your stores of explo sives. "Great execution could be done by low flights and stealthy approaches. With muffled motors there would be practically nothing heard. Half a dczen machines could sneak up, skim ming low down, at night, being guided by the lights and drop explosives with time fuses attached just long enough to allow you to get away. The result would be indescribable. "Then suppose we were attacking warships. We could dynamite their decks, blow them in even if we miss ed dropping the charges into smoke stacks and furnaces. Take my word for it. the days of the big warships are numbered. The fearful speed of the airship makes it something you can't- reckon with at present. It is only a question of a very short time when the sky will be full of flying machines making an average speed of 100 miles an hour." MEET MINER'S SCALE Illinois Operators to Investigate. Cause of State Strike. Chicago, May 31. Railroad man agers and manufacturers are to Inves tigate the causes of the continued coal strike in Illinois, as the miners and operators have come to an agreement in all the other states except in the southwest. The railroad managers will meet the Illinois Coal Operators' asso ciation today and the Illinois Manu facturers' association has called a spe cial meeting of its members for Thurs day, when the coal operators will be asked to explain their position. The operators say they have offered the miners the same increase in wages as was offered in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa and accepted by the men In those states. The operators say they still stand ready to pay the ad vance demanded by the miners in their national convention, but will not go beyond that, if they have to" keep the mines closed all summer. PRICE OF BUTTER SOARS Cost Highest Since Civil War Period Speculators Blamed. Xew Tork. May 31. Although to day's market reports show that butter receipts in May were larger than us ual, the prices of the bet grades are higher than they have been before at this time since the Civil war.

Bleached Flour Case Called in the Federal Court. It Is Neither a Criminal Nor a CiTil Action. THE ADMIRALTY LAW Has Been Inroted by the U. S. GoTernment. Statute Confers the Right to Seize Contraband Goods. Kansas City. Mo.. Mav si Acm.-. gralnmen and bakers from varlnna parts of the country were In the fed- erat court here today when the case of the government against certain mil lers charged with adulteration In bleaching flour and with misbranding flour In violation of the food and drug act of 1906. was called before Judge oinim aici-nerson, of Red Oak, la. The case is based upon the govern ments seizure of 625 sacks of flour in a grocery store at Castle, Mo., on April 11, 1910. The flour had been shipped by the Lexington Mill and Elevator company of Lexington, Neb. The case differs from that of either a criminal or civil action In that It is brought under the admiralty law which gives the government the right to seize contraband goods. Attorneys representing the Lex ington Mill and Elevator company last week filed a motion in the federal court here asking that the portion of the government's petition charging misbranding be stricken out. The ar gument on this motion first occupied the time of the court today. Pierce Butler, special United States attorney of St. Paul, assistant United States district attorney Leslie Lyons of this city and various officials of the department of justice and the depart ment of agriculture represented the government. On the side of the defense were Ed ward P. Smith, of Omaha, attorney for the Nebraska millers; Judge A. E. Helm, of Wichita, and Bruce S. El liott, of St. Louis, counsel for the millers defense committee and for the Alsop company, which is the princi pal concern manufacturing the bleach ing machinery. Among the expert witnesses that have been subpoenaed are Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, of the de partment of agriculture and Dr. Wal ter S. Haines of Chicago. The argument on the motion to strike out a portion of the govern ment's petition relating to the charge of misbranding was not finished at noon. Attorney Butler of St. Paul, arguing for the government, said this case was brought under the admiralty law which gives the government the right, to seize contraband goods... He. cited several decisions to prove it was proper to amend an original charee with subsequent charges in such cases. NEW SAFE FOR RADIUM. Vault Will Guard $5,000,000,000 Worth Has Novel Features. London, May 31. What Is declared to be the most ingenious safe ever constructed has been completed for the British radium corporation. The prob lem presented to the manufacturers was not only to construct a safe that would bid defiance to burglars, but which at the same time would prevent the escape of the radium. It is well known to scientists that radium emanations will pass through the thickest and hardest of steel. For this reason the inner coffer of the safe was made of lead, three inches thick, inclosed within a burglar proof steel shell. There are many other special features, including means of collect ing the radium emanations before tha coffer Is opened. This compartment safe Is designed to hold 100 pounds of ra.lium, valued at 35,000,000,000. The total weight of tne sale is one and a nail tons. WRECK AT OGALLAH. Three Passengers Injured When IT. P.

2 THE TOPEKA DA3J.Y STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1910. DROP ONEAT LAST Cooleysox Defeated by St. Joe In Comedy of Errors. Slippery Field Made Good Play- ing Impossible. AN UP HILL GAME. Topeka Players Do Well After 'Early Innings. Crowd of Six Thousand Sees the Contest. 8t. Joseph, Mo., May SI. The Drum mers finally took a game from. Topeka when they defeated the -visitors here Monday afternoon, 11 to 7. before a crowd of over 6,000 people In a, contest full of run a, hits and errors. This put St. Joe back In. first place as Lincoln lost. On account of rain the morning game was called oft and the afternoon- game Was delayed to al low the grounds to dry as much as pos sible. The field was heavy and was largely responsible for the many tnls playa during the early innings. In the latter part of the game both teams tightened up. Topeka's errors were costly and It seemed everything broke wrong for the Cooleysox. Jackson was hit for two singles and a double id the first inning which brought in two runs, but after that with good support he would probably have gone along all right. Fugate, who went in the box in the fourth, had bad luck in handling bunts which seemed to always go to a certain slippery spot on the diamond. Mixing this up with three hits and three errors gave St. Joseph six runs In the fourth and fifth innings. In the last three innings the locals could get only one hit off Fugate and in the eighth he fanned three men. Jackson did the same thing in the second inning, retiring the Drummers with three strikeouts. The Topeka team played a good up hill game, but the lead was too great. In the fourth inning the visitors made five hits, but on account of unfortunate base running scored only two runs. In the fifth the team batted clear around, Fugate starting the- inning with n Mngli anl ending it with a strikeout.! Jieilly and Kerns led in hitting, se curing three each. In the third inning McChesney hit to Kahl, but in taking a bad bound the ball caught him on the thumb of his left hand, tearing the nail loose. Boles took his place. Cy Landreth is still on the sick list and may not be able to play for several days. He was out to the park in the afternoon, but not m I uniform. Kunkel split the bone In his little finger in a game at Des Moines j in fielding a bunt. The finger is swollen badly and bothers him considerably. The score: TOPEKA. Players- AB. Jt. H. PO. A. E.

The fight was for a purse of 6,500 and a side bet of 81,000. MeFarland had much the better of the bout. He led all the way. knocking his oppon ent against the ropes repeatedly and forcing the fight in every round. The verdict of the referee was re ceived with much hostility. Welch was the favorite at the opening of the contest at 7 to 4 but before the fight was half over the sympathy of the crowd was wholly with the Ameri can. NEW RECORDS SET.

RAILR0AD NEWS. Watch Enforcement of the New Twenty-Eight Hour Law. Controversy Between Railroads in Regard to Space Used. TO BRING TEST CASES. Department of Agriculture to See Ahout! Stock Room. Other Items of General Interest in Railroad World. A controversy has arien between some of the railroads of the country nd the larger lire stock shippers in regard to the space in the cars which must be afforded animals in transit from one state to another in order to make unloading unnecessary and still comply with the 2S-hour law This law provides that when the ani mals are 'carried in ears "ih which they can and do have proper food, wa ter, space and opportunity to rest" they shall not be''req.Mired to be un loaded. The department ot agriculture has been appealed to by both railroads and shippers, and; today the position of the department is tentatively an nounced as follows: If cars are not loaded bevond the minimum weight fixed bv the tariffs. the department will not, for the pres ent, raise the question as to whether sufficient space is provided for the ani mals to rest; but railroad' which load beyond the minimum and do not un load for rest will have to take their chances of prosecution in the courts. It is the intention of the department to institute a number of test cases and secure rirtings from the federal courts as to what space must be afforded. It is claimed by the department that this is the only way open, since Tio power is given the secretary of agriculture by the law to make rullnrrs and regula tions regarding space to be afforded in cars. j In all cases where live stock is not unloaded en route "into properly equipped pens for rest, water and feed ing." the cars must be provided with facilities for feeding and water in transit, and live stock must, when so fed and watered, receive proper feed and water. TOTALLY ELECTRIC LIGHTED. New Burlington Train Said to Be One of Best in Country. Chicago, May 31. One of the most extensive and costly improvements of coach lighting ever undertaken will be made effective by the Burlington route on the 1st of June. On that date all of Its through trains will be electric lighted from locomotive headHght to observation platform. The most effi oient electric lighting system yet de vised has been adopted namely, the dynamo system. With this system there is installed in the baggage car of each train a high-power dynamo which sup plies the current for the entire train. Ordinarily, when the dynamo car is de tached, there is a distinct dimming of the lights, but under the dynamo sys tem not only ia enough current gen erated to light the train when it is in motion or standing still, hut enough surplus current is stored in each in dividual car to light it brilliantly for several hours without any direct cur rent from the dynamo. This in Itself is a big improvement over other systems of car hghting. To inaugurate this service it has been necessary to rc-equip entirely electrical ly 72 complete trains. This includes the Burlington's through trains not only to the cities of the middle west, but ftlso to the Pacific coast. In addition practically the entire passenger equip ment of the railroad, including locomo tives, baggage cars, mail cars, coaches, chair cars, dining cars, sleeping cars end observation cars, has also had to be entirely re-equipped for electric lighting, and at very large expense. EXTEND TELEPHONE SYSTEM. Frisco Substituting Receiver for the Ticker. The St. Louis San Francisco rail road, which has been active in the cam paign among the railroad systems of the country to supplant the use of the telegraph with the telephone for train dispatching, is now installing new tele phone circuits over about 500 miles ot its line. The circuits now in course of construction extend from St. Louis to Springfield, Mo., from Springfield to Thayer. Mo., and from Amory, Miss., to Birmingham, Ala. Trains on the Frisco are now being dispatched by telephone between Kan sas City, Mo., and Springfield on the iKtrthem division, and on the Lebanon division between Springfield and Mon ett Mo., a total distance of about 246 miles. This part of the Frisco is sin gle track, and the traffic between Kan- 1033 KANSAS AVENUE. TOPEKA. KANSAS. sas CSty and Fort Scott Is unusually heavy. The fact that the telephone dispatch ing circuit in this busy district has proved satisfactory to the operating offi cials through the service it has given influenced their decision to extend this form of dispatching over more terri tory. The equipment which is now in ser vice and that which is soon to be in stalled consists of telephone aipparatus and selectors purchased from the West ern Electric company. Message circuits, on which the commercial business is handled, parallel in every case the dis patching circuits, which are used ex clusively to direct train movements and traffic. AVAS ONCE AN OFFICE BOY. New Katy Assistant General Manager a Fort Scott Boy. Fort Scott, Kan., Mav 31. There has been sort of a shake-up in the general offices of the Katy at St. Louis and as a result there are men who have been promoted to good positions and some of the men are known here. All of them have influencein the work that goes on in this city and one of them goes to Texas, where he will be made assistant general manager of the Texas branch of the M K. T. He is A. E. Bethard, who for some time was assistant general manager at St. Louis. To fill the vacancy caused by this change there has been a young man promoted. One that has risen from the ranks in every rense of the word and who has come to fill an im portant position in railroad circles. That man is Arthur Durham, who is known to a great many of the Katy emplbyes here and who. worked, rwith Sherman Knox at Sedalia just 12 years ago. Sherman has Just heard of hjs promotion and he is ticKiea. tie al ways thought a great deal of the young man and predicted something good for him. Sherman Knox, day operator at the Katy in this city, was working in Se dalia during the year 1898 and he was watching things; pretty carefully. He became acquainted with a young man named Arthur Durham, who was an office boy and (was running errands here and there. He became intimate ly acquainted with him and. often talked with him about most anything. If the young man did not know some thing that was brought up he went out and looked it up. He rot to know 'his business and kept on climbing. Dur ing the 12 years that have elapsed Sherman had about lost track of him, but he has him placed now and can talk about "Art." for several hours at a time. MASY BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEMS. Total Mileage in United States at This Time, 65,758. Under the direction of the interstate commerce commission the block signal and train control board bas compiled and published a report regarding block signals m use on railroads or tne unit ed States on Jan. 1. 1910. The report includes also a table showing ihe ex tent of the nse of telephones in the transmission of train orders. The total length of road in the United States operated under the block system on Jan. 1, 1910, was 65.758 miles. Of this mileage 14,237 was automatic and 51. 520 was manual. Durinjr 1909 there was an increase of 2.047 miles In the length of road covered by the auto matic block system and an increase of 4,162 miles in the length of road cov ered by the manual block system, making a total increase in the miles of road covered br the block system of 6,209 miles. Ten roads which have not heretofore reported the use of block signals ap pears in this report, and 22 roads have made notable changes in their block signal installations. The telephone is used to a greater or less extent for the transmission of train orders on about 275 railroads; the aggregate mileage operated by these companies is 131,014 miles, and the telephone is used on 26,344 miles of road.

In any event im poverished blood and weak nerves result and the loss of appetite, gas on the Stomach, dizziness and other symptoms which follow are onlv some of the warn ing signs that the blood and nerves are failing to give the stomach sufficient etreiiirth for its work. To treat such a condition as this with rrhnulatine medicines, which only force the stomach to work bevond its strength, or with predizested foods and medicines, which require no work on the part of the stomach, not merely puts off the day for a cure but further increases the weak ness of the stomach. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the most direct cure for stomach trouble because they are a certain blood builder. Pure blood makes healthy nerves and strength-ens-the entire body. The weak stomach ppts plenty of healthy blood and nervous energy, and perfect digestion follows. Mrs. E. 5. Eeynolds, of Paris, Mo., "A lew years ago l negan to nave trouble with n:y stomach.

The United States department of agri culture is doing much towards assist ing the farmers of Kansas in various phases of the farming industry. The state agricultural college is giv ing tangible and very material aid 'to the husbandmen of the state, both practically and scientifically. Perhaps the most direct and substantial bene fit derived by the people of the state from the agricultural college is the result of the extension work conducted by the department of farmers insti tutes, through and by means of which the farmers receive expert advice as to the best methods of farm practice, which, under Kansas conditions of soil, climate, and both irrigated and non irrigated agriculture, means the advancement of the state's largest industry and most prolific source of future prosperity. Among the state's most dependable resources are the boys and girls that are being educated in the practical pursuits and professions of life at this most useful institution. The state is to receive a further im petus from the combined efforts of trie national government and the agricul tural college. The dairy industry has already profited by the close attention eiven to it by the United States depart ment of agriculture, and now. In co operation with the agricultural collega. another specialist in the subject is o be employed who will give his entire time to the investigation and improve ment of the Industry, with headquar ters at the agricultural college. The subject of road building is also to receive the aid and co-operation of the government and the agricultural college. A government expert in road building will make his headquarters at the college, upon the grounds of which a model stretch of road building will serve to encourage the construc tion of good roads. In conjunction with the college, this road advice and im provement will be extended to different portions of the state. The only expense that the state of Kansas will have to bear, in return for this proffered service, Is the small sum necessary for dairy ana milk testing apparatus, the few tools and the ma chinery required in road building be ing on hand at the agricultural college.

Emporia Postmaster Refuses to Make Him ay Letter Carrier. Emporia, Kan., May 31. The post master at this place has developed a bad case of colorphobia by refusing to appoint a young Afro-American as let ter carrier for no other reason than that he is colored and he did not hesi tate to tell him so. The young man's name is W. C. Phoenix. In the Emporia Gazette. Will White deplores the condition, but fails to see any fault in the postmaster who is solely responsible for it. Mr. White say?: "The young man's statement is most significant. It should be considered by our taxpayers. For if young men like him of the negro race are to find the door of hope closed to them in the higher grades of work under the government, we should close the door frankly, and not by stealth. "We should, first of all, close our high schools to negroes unless we are to give to negroes who finish our high school courses some position better than they can get without the higher education. It is folly as taxpayers to support high schools for boys and girls, and then force these young peo ple always to remain hewers of wood and drawers of water. "It is cruel to inspire hope and then mock it in them. It Is vicious to edu cate these people so that the world of spiritual things is open to them, and then to put them making bricks without straw. A colored mail -carrier certainly could give offense to no one, who, for instance, would employ a colored servant in the house. A colored mail carrier has no intimate relations with his patrons and his color should not bar him from that job. gineering and to learn""4 American methods, and expects to stav in America another year before begin ning tne worn ne nas mapped out for himself in the development of his own country.

A journey of nearly seventeen hundred miles by rail, and after that a ride of seventy-five miles in a stage coach or motor car, to marry the man of her choice, is more than the average city girl would care to undertake. But Miss Helen Reber, a Kansas girl, doesn't look at it taht way. Rather, she is an ticipating a joyous and somewhat ro mantic trip from Kansas City, Kansas, to Burns. Oregon, there to become the wife of Ralph Beery, a former Kansan, who is teaching school and holding down a government land claim nine teen miles from that place. Miss Reber is a daughter of Abram N.

Judge Pollock said to Colt, "and that you are of good family. Also that your wire s relatives, who are estlma ble persons, live here. I do not want to disgrace you by sending you to the penitentiary, so will give you a jail sentence. Previous to passing sentence Judge Pollock overruled motions for a new- trial and arrest of judgment- When he asked Colt if he had anything to sav why sentence should not be passed, Colt turned silently to his attorney, R R. Brewster. Mr. Brewster asked the court to consider that an affidavit showing Colt has at times lent out as much as two million dollars had not been introduced as evidence. Immediately after Colt was sen tenced Mr. Brewster filed a notice of appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals. Judge Pollock fixed Colt's bond at $5,000.

If by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of a day's work, it is worth while to know the kind of food that will pro duce this result. A school teacher out in Kans. says in this cannection: "I commenced the use of Grape Xuts food five months ago. At that time my health was so poor that I thought I would have to give up my work altogether. I was rapidly losing n weight, had little appetite, was ner vous and sleepless, and experienced, almost constantly, a feeling of exhaustion. "I tried various remedies without good results: then I determined to give particular attention to my food. and have learned something of the properties of Grape-Nuts for re building the brain and nerves. "I commenced nsing Grape-Nuts and have since made a constant and rapid improvement in health, in spite of the tact tnat an tnis time i nave been engaged in the most strenuous and exacting work. "I have gained twelve pounds in weight and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and I sleep sound. I have such strength and reserve force that I feel almost as strong and fresh at the close of a day's work as at the beginning. "Before using Grape-Nuts I was troubled much with weak eyes but as my vitality increased the eyes became stronger. "I never heard of food as nutritious and economical as Grape-Xuts."

Mrs- Joseph Wendling has been arrested on the charge -of being accessory to the murder of Alma Kellner, whose muti lated bodv was found in a cistern of the Parochial buildings at St. John's Catholic church. Confronted with a gold ring and a pin which had been found in her trunk and after the pin had been positively identified by the mother of the long missing child as one which Alma wore the dav she disappeared. Mrs. Wend ling maintained a stolid demeanor and casually vouchsafed the information that the ring and the pin had been given her by a boy who found them on the street. Mrs. Wendling also admitted that stains on some clothing which she washed for her husband a short time after the child disappeared were bloody. Her admission was made in advance of a chemical analysis of the garments which are in the possession of the police. She declared the blood stains came from a wound her hus band had accidentally suffered on his arm during the course of his work.- Further than this a three hours' "sweating." which ended shortly -before midnight, elicited little informa tion from the woman. In a sworn statement made before Captain Carney, chief of detectives. Mrs. Wendling admitted washing muddv clothes of her husband shortly after the disappearance of the little Kellner girl. The police have these clothes, trousers, shirt and hat, and declare there are still blood stains on them. A little more than a year ago, according to the police records, Wend ling was arrested and fined because of improper conduct wit ha young girl whom he had accosted on the streets. The discovery of the body was by accident. The janitor at St. John's church told Father Schuhman water was collecting under one of the parish buildings. Plumbers began to pump out the water.

All the riDs on the lett side were broken, he said. "It appears that the body was par tially burned," said Coroner Duncan, and I believe quicklime was used to aid in destroying the body, but further examination alone will develop these facts." Father Schuhman said he could re member nothing suspicious in Wend ling's actions after the disappearance of Alma Kellner. "Wendlme left tne cnurcn witnout saving he was going to quit and he said nothing to his wife. I thought at the time that possibly the fact that his wife was much older than ne caused him to leave. He often talked of returning to his old home in France, but his wife wrote his parents and they ahve heard nothing of him."

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telesrraph report of that frreat 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. Here's a new one from the south. The Birmingham Age-Herald explains that a Marathon Julep Is one that It pulled whole through a straw without taking breath. Work on the Rio Grande Irrigation faojeot, which will cost about 19,000,000, Is about to begin. This beats by several miles the expenditure of a similar or larrer sum of public funds for a ship f war. Eats off again to the turkeys. It has been discovered that they delight in the bugs which delight to eat up the potato plants. A flock of turkeys on every (arm where potatoes are raised will now b in order. The weather men are most fortu nately rituated In that their offices are not elective. They could never expect to get any part of the old soldier vote after the weather they served up for Memorial Day. The United States scores again. The two largest marble lions in the world are to be placed at the entrance to the new publlo library in New York city. Still, this la not a matter of very much importance at that. Commenting on the statement of Sen ator Lodge that the navy Is the last place the nation should begin to econo mize, the Cleveland Plain Dealer rightly says "the trouble is that In the opinion of men of the Lodge type there are no firsts." Evidence continues to pile up that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is a pretty wise young man. He is going to give his farewell, bachelor dinner a couple of weeks before the date set for his wedding. This ought to give him plenty of time in which to recover. A few of the yet undiscovered bacilli of the perniciously harmful sort are probably gleeful these days over the death of Dr. Koch. But he succeeded in pointing the way to fight many of these pests to a successful finish, and society owes his memory a debt it will be difficult to pay. Noting the fact that automobiles are now killing more people in this country than are the railroad trains, the Chi cago News makes the good point that the latter do not pursue a man if he keeps off the track. As the News sug gests it is almost well-nigh impossible for a man to keep out of the way of ran automobiles. Editor White, of Emporia Gazette, continues to tell his friends in the east that Kansas is insurgent. Other folk at home here are of the opinion that the present wave of insurgency in Kansas Is a reaction of large proportions against the original Kansas Insurgents who are opposed to Republicanism as it is inter preted by President TaJJt. It has taken the congressional insur gents qnite some time to dig up that story that Colonel Roosevelt was in tympathy with their plans and aspira tions whan he retired from the presi dency. But when It comes for Colonel Roosevelt to make a choice between these "insurgents" and President Taft. It is not difficult to figure out how he will make it. Much discernment was used by the National Association of Attorneys Gen eral of the United States in choosing Mr. Charles West, attorney general for Oklahoma, as its president. He is by far the most active attorney general that has ever come to the front in any state in the Union in all time. If he doesn't start one or more big suits on each day of the week he doesn't appear to be satisfied. If Senator Billy Lorimer speaks whereof he knows the usual order of things Is reversed in Illinois. He says that tho Chicago Tribune trumped up bribery charges in connection with his election to the United States senate be cause it is opposed to him for the rea Mn that he has never been willing to do its bidding in politics. In almost all other localities it's the politicians who try to make the newspapers do their bidding. These charges that Mr. Lorimer pur chased his seat in the United States senate are reminiscent of the experi ence of Alexander Caldwell who was once elected to the United States sen ate from Kansas. After he had been in ofltee for some time the charges were made th'it he had secured his elec tion by buying the necessary votes in the legislatura. And Mr. Caldwell made ro bones about acknowledging the corn. He got up in the senate and announoed that when he arrived in Topeka to fur ther bis senatorial aspirations he found that tho United States senatorahip was for sale at an upset price of $60,000. Having that much money to spare and wanting the Job he purchased it. He added lhat if this method of getting Into the most august assemblage in the world was not a satisfactory one, he would resign. And he did. KANSAS FARMERS IX RIGHT. Many farmers in Kansas who de voted much time and energy last fall to the sowing of acres and acres to wheat are going to get absolutely no returns from these efforts when harvest time rolls around in a few weeks. Their wheat prospects were killed by the unfavorable climatic conditions during the winter months. But are they down and out? Are they sitting around and moaning at a cruel fate which has overtaken them? Well, hardly. Many of them have plowed up their wheat lands and sowed them to corn, from which they expect to get a profitable crop. Even if these ex pectations should be unfulfilled, there are not many of them who will have cause to worry. The recent years of agricultural prosperity in Kansas have fattened their bank rolls to such an extent that they can well weather a storm of this kind. But that is not all. Experience has taught the Kansas farmer not to put all his eggs in one basket. With his wheat and his corn he has fields of alfalfa and other valuable crops. He has pens of pigs. He has herds of cows whose products never brought better prices than they do today. His wife has chickens and hens galore which add more than a mite to the family exchequer. In other words, the failure of one crop nowadays does not mean a spell of hard times for the farmer like it did not so many years ago, when his activities were devoted to the raising of Just one crop. Of course, there are farmers here and there who are not thus fortunately situated. Their experience of this year will mean the making of more up-to-date and better farmers of them. Al most any farmer, with soil like that of Kansas to work with, can make cer tain of an almost continued agricul tural prosperity If he will utilize his land Intelligently by planting a diver sity of crops. In some years all of them will do well and he will profit accordingly. In no one year is it scarcely possible that each and every crop will be a failure and those which are a success will be sufficient to keep the ball rolling with him in the right direction. V. S. TRADE WITH CANADA. That the avoidance of a tariff war with Canada was a great good thing for the business interests of this coun try Is made apparent by some recent statistics which have been gathered by the department of commerce and labor on the trade of the United States and Canada. These show that the exports from this country to the neighboring one on the north show a larger gain in the current fiscal year than those to any other of the important countries of the world. For the ten months ending with April, for which the bureau of statistics has Just prepared a detailed record of the commercial movements, the ex ports to Canada amount to 174H mil lion dollars, against 129 million in the corresponding months of last year, and for the month of April alone, 22 mil lion dollars, against 15 million in April of last year. The increase in exports for the ten months in question is thus 45 million dollars, while the total in crease in exports to all parts of the world during the same period is bu: 65 million, the figures in each case re lating to exports of domestic merchan dise. To France the export figures show for the period in question an In crease of 9 million dollars, to Germany 11 million, to Argentine 5 million, to Mexico tVi million, to Australia 2 mil lion and to Canada, as above indicated, 45 million dollars. This increase In exports to Canada occurs largely in manufactures. Coal shows an increase of about 2 million dollars; cotton, about 2 million; wheat, about li million; horses, about a half million; and furs and fur skins, about a half million; but aside from these the bulk of the Increase occurs in manu factured articles. Agricultural imple ments show an increase from 1 mil lion dollars to 2V million; automobiles, f- m 1 million to 3 million; cotton manufactures, from 1 million to 2 million; and lumber, from 2 million to nearly 4 million. During the same period scientific Instruments Increased 1 million; wire, over V, million; build ers' hardware, million; and books, maps and engravings, about Vz million; while many other manufactures show smaller increases, though in many cases the percentage of gain is large, .uieats show but slight increase and in some cases a decline in quantity. Min eral oils show in most cases a decline, though lubricating and heavy paraffin oils show a slight increase. DOMESTIC SERVICE FOR MEN. So much is heard these days about women crowding the men out of the many and varied positions in al branches of business that were here tofore looked upon as being In exis tence for the exclusive benefit of male sex, that any suggestion which con cerns the possibility of men entering women's spheres of work is interest ing. One such is given on the new Man's Page which has been Inserted in The Delineator. It is nothing less than that there is a fine field for men to take the place of servant girls. This Is at least an unconventional sugges tion for this country. Nor is there any likelihood that it will be popular ly received by men, even the unem ployed among them. However, In for eign countries, particularly in the Orient the great majority of house hold servants, even to the maids of all work, are men. It may be pos sible that similar conditions will pre vail in this land some day. At any rate, the suggestions in the Delinea tor, which come from Paul West, are worth reading. They follow: "There are today few occupations a young man can take up without fear of a woman's taking the bread out of his mouth. These are:, prize-fighting, ladies' tailoring, and do not sneer, young man! DOMESTIC SERVICE! Even prize-fighting may be; closed to men tomorrow, if some strong-armed Vassar graduate should decide to capture the championship belt. Ladies' tailoring may entice them at any time. But, as time goes on, it be comes more and more evident that one field will never again have a woman occupant. Go into general house work, solve the servant problem, and save the American home!. "There is no reason why young American men should not make ideal servant-girls, and yet preserve inde pendence. The bookkeeper work from eight till six. His meager wages must pay board and lodging and clothe him. What a life! But the general-housework girl in a small family what does she have to.do but cook a few meals, clean a few rooms, after a fashion, and collect thirty dollars a month? Not a penny for expenses, a nice room, plenty of clothes given her, and every Thursday and Sunday out! Toung man, it Is easy. What prepar ation Is needed? Nothing; anybody can learn to cook in a week. Capital? A trunk and a written reference from your last place, the latter readily ob tainable from the manager of any em ployment office. "And think of the happy lives you can make by your charming little cu linary surprises. Then; when the fam ily go away for the summer, they take you with them, or you have the whole flat to yourself, and everything free! Toung men, it is a vision of happiness! "Who knows, too, but that your em ployer's daughter may fall in love with you, and marry you, thus, when she goes into business for herself, making you happy and comfortable for life? "At all events, young men, domestic service is worth considering. It is an open field, and man can make his mark in it. Why not be a pioneer?" JOURNAL ENTRIES When a man Is on easy street the road without a turn is never too long. A woman's hat Is not "on straight" these days unless it sets decidedly askew. Many of the mind cures probably fail because of the paucity of material with which they have to work. Any number of individuals are given credit for being wise to all kinds of things concerning which they actually, know nothing. As a matter of fact, a girl thinks more of a single compliment on her looks or appearance from an elder brother than she does of hundreds of nice things that may be said of her by as many other fellows.

It seems, has been bragged about in the United States as the typical American. But he won the Europeans by being typical of them selves. The London newspapers say Roose velt is European, not American. "It seems to be the destiny of great rations," muses the London Post, "to fall under the sway, at least tempor arily, of leaders who lack a native stamp. England has had her Disraeli, the least English of rulers, and France tad her Napoleon, the typical Italian." The French summed him up as em phatically un-American, and resem bling. In most of his traits, the grand French gentleman of the Old Grand Days. This is the way the French writers put it: "He is un-American in his lack of practical business experi ence; un-American in not having been trained to any profession or trade; un American in being the father of so many children; un-American in the variety of his elegant accomplishments, euch as languages, fencing, familiarity with the polite literature of many na tions; un-American In his reverence for the marriage tie; un-American, for he has no sense of humor." Figaro, of Paris, says that Roose velt's great work has been to over throw tradesman's morality as the American ideal, and substitute gentle man's morality. To the sturdy newspapers of Ger many, the Rough Riders seemed so striking a Prussian that he might, pose as a descendant of Frederick the Great. The Home Tribuna was amazed by the Rough Rider's Garlbaldlan quali ties. The IQejjna Neue Frele Presse brushed all these things aside con temptuously, and said that Europe had simply been bewildered by the appear ance of an American who possessed all the remarkable qualities of an Aus tiian cavalry general. Atchison Globe. CONTROLLED NEWSPAPERS. The Atchison Globe says that no ad vertiser has ever tried to control its editorial policy, the remark being oc casioned by the charge often made nowadays;' that the big advertisers di rect the editorial policy of newspapers. The experience of the Globe is the ex perience of most newspapers. The merchant who does a great deal of ad vertising is more interested in the cir culation department of a newspaper than in the editorial department. If a daily paper goes to the homes of the people, and is read by them, he is sat isfied, and it may chase after any theory or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles of his own,- and he isn't try ing to shoulder those of the editorial brethren. There are newspapers controlled by people outside of the editorial room?, and a good many Of them, more's the pity; but the people exercising that control are not the business men who pay their money for advertising space. The newspapers which are established for political purposes are often con trolled by chronic offlceseekers, whoso first concern is their own interests. There are newspapers controlled by great corporations, and the voice of such newspapers Is always raised in protest against any genuine reform. The averagewestern newspaper usu ally Is controlled by Its owner, and he is supposed to be in duty bound to make all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of times. There are people who con sider it his duty to Insult his adver tisers, Just to show that he is free and independent. If he shows a decent re spect for his patrons, who pay him their money, and make it possible for him to carry on the business, he Is "subsidized" or "controlled." The newspaper owner Is a business man, like the dry goods man or the grocer. The merchants are expected to have consideration for their customers, and they are not supposed to be sub sidized by the man who spends five dollars with them, but the publishers is expected to demonstrate his courage by showing that he is ungrateful for the patronage of his friends. It is a funny combination, when you think it over. Emporia Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS WRONG POINT OF VIEW. A contributor to the Atlantic Month ly, who signs himself "Ex-Official," seems to strike a false note in his discussion of the government service in Washington. He admits the at tractiveness of employment in federal bureaus and departments to many thousands of young men and women all over the country. Washington Is a pleasant dwelling place, the work is easy, employment under civil ser vice rules is measurably secure, and the pay is good. But this writer is Inclined to dissuade young men from seeking employment in the govern ment service at Washington. He de clares that the man who feels he has something serious to do in the world is out of place there. This is bad advice. Of course, only a few, relatively speaking, can ever hope to get into the service even in the humblest capacities. Uncle Sam does not employ men and women for charity's sake. There is a great deal of useful work to be done in Washing ton, and it is generally well done. To be in the government service is to be honorably employed. All men can not be leaders, and most men every where work hard for moderate re muneration. An ambitious man is as likely to find an outlet for his am bition in the government service as in any other. New York Times. WATER FOR BEASTS AND BIRDS. A good Samaritan in Chicago has provided a thousand basins to be plac ed on sidewalks in front of residences and stores to supply water for dogs and birds. The basins will be sta tioned at points where merchants and residents will agree to keep them filled. Some of the largest of the de partment stores have volunteered to see that the basins are supplied with water. The physician who is the originator of the plan thinks it will prevent a good many "mad-dog" scares. Dogs grow frantic from thirst, he says, and run about in search of water, and this is the genesis of most of the "mad dog" excitement. The theory of the physician may or may not be correct, but he is doing a sensible and humane act in distributing his basins and they probably will be well patronized by the doga at least. In many of our American cities there is too little attention given to supplying water to slake the thirst of our animal friends. In fact, the hu man animal doesn't always find it an easy matter to get a drink of water when he chances to be "a stranger within the gates." Private philan thropy has supplied drinking foun tains in various cities where there has been public neglect to do so. Louis- villa Courier-Journal. THE QUESTIONER.

THE EVENING STORY A Red Tag Day. (By Clarissa Mackle.) When Evelyn Lane refused to marry him, Dan Kennett quietly pulled up stakes and got as far away from New York as his limited supply of money would take him. That is how he hap pened to be in charge of the survey of the government tract near Horse Lick Springs, Mont. He had worked off the first bitter sting of disappointment, but there still remained the heartache and the grow ing conviction that never could be an other girl in the world for him. In May the surveying party was within a stone's throw of the rail road whose shining rails flashed from east to west across the flat, gray prairie. Each day at noon the steel rails quivered under the thunder ing burden of the express train be hind whose plate glass windows there was a fleeting glimpse of faces before the train became a mere speck in the distance again. Dan Kennett had learned to long for Its coming; there was always the possibility a foolish and vain one, indeed that some day it might come flying out of the east bearing the girl he loved to some other destination; his dreams were always that he might catch a glance of her eye or see her face Just once. And yet it never had happened; but there was always the hope! All things are probable when one is thousands of miles from home and surrounded by flat stretches of gray prairie. But several weeks ago he had read in the society columns of a Sunday paper a paragraph about Evelyn Lane. She was preparing to go to California to be gone a year among friends. So Kennett had watched the trains now with some real hope that he might see her passing, and he had calculated to a pitiful nicety the chances that she might, after all, have a chair on the opposite side of the train. Today was hot and close: the sun shone mercilessly down on the little camp; the sagebrush cracked crisply under foot and a great and underlying thirst seized the whole crew. "We're going to give up for the rest of the day, Dan," said one of the boys about 10 o'clock; "it's too blamed hot to do another stroke of work!" "Very well," returned Dan listless ly; "I'm pretty well done up myself. Guess I.'ll turn in for awhile." "We're going to ride over to the Springs- and load in some water the casks are getting low, it's lots cooler fussing around the water than rus tling around here. Better come along." "Perhaps I'll ride over a little later." evaded Dan, turning into his t6rowning smiled skeptically. "Wait ing for the express, I'll bet a cookie! If you were a girl, Dan. I'd say you had a crush on the conductor of that train, the hungry way you look at It. "You'd be hungry looking, too. If you were looking for your rich uncle," retorted Dan coolly. "Get out!" sniffed Browning, strid ing off. "We'll expect you after your uncle arrives, eh?" Dan did not reply. He stood in the doorwav of the tent tingling with an anticipation that he could not under stand. Perhaps it was because Brown ing had put some of his thoughts into words or well, nothing would happen today. Probably Evelyn had gone by another route it would be Just his luck. As noon drew near he wandered about the deserted camp and along the railroad, with his watch in his hand. And then. Just on time, he heard the distant humming that an nounced the coming of the train. It grew louder and changed to a roar and then to thunder. He stepped back, the better to watch the windows when they should flash past, and then wonder of won ders as it approached the camp the train slowed down almost to a stand still. A man dropped down from the engine and ran to the forward driv ing wheels and the clank of a ham mer on metal rang though the noon stillness. Kennett walked eagerly along, look ing up at the windows where stranger faces peered curiously down at the tall, strong figure clad in khaki with a broad hat pulled over his forehead, so eagerly inspecting the passengers. When he reached the open door of the baggage car the engine was ut tering preliminary grunts and thick black smoke drifted back, half ob scuring the doorway. There was the barking of several dogs and among them a sharp insistent yelp that seemed vaguely familiar. The smoke swirled aside and he caught a glimpse of the interior of the car and several crates containing dogs in different degrees of content ment. They seemed Joined in protest against the liberty allowed a pretty fox terrier who danced delightedly at the end of a long chain held by a girl whose head was turned aside. The train plunged' forward, the fox terrier uttered one shrill bark and dashed through the doorway, striking Kennett fairly in the chest and knock ing him over backward. Then the ex press gathered speed and thundered away, leaving Kennett sitting dazedly beside the track while a crazy fox ter rier leaped upon him with velvet pink tongue and short, excited yaps of Joy. The chain dangling from the collar flapped in the sagebrush and from a ring in the collar hung a red tag. It was all over, and a miracle had happened!. Evelyn had been on that train. She was the girl who had stood in the baggage car and of whose face he had had a fleeting glimpse as the train dashed away! The crazy fox terrier, who had recognized in him a former master, was none other than Evelyn's dog. Flip. He gathered the wriggling little beast in his arms and rocked him lovingly. The red tag bore a number and a most precious name Evelyn's and the destination, Los Angeles. He stor ed It away in his pocket. He related the incident, shorn of its personal details, to the wondering party of water carriers when they came back to camp, and they accepted the addition of Flip with a hearty good will. Several days passed while Dan mar-1 veled that no inquiry had been put in motion by the railroad people for the absconding bit of baggage. Late one afternoon he rode over to the Springs; there was no mail at the postoffice. and when he had finished his business he mounted his horse and rode slowly out of the town back to the camp; Flip gamboled about the heels of the horse. The way led among sand dunes standing like hooded monks along the trail; he stopped once and, half turning in his saddle looked at the sunset. It reddened his bronzed face and glinted on the damp rings of hair on his forehead. He pushed back his hat from his head and listened. The steady beat, beat of hoofs grew nearer; some one was coming from the town perhaps one of the boys had been in but he had left all of them at camp. He waited for the rider to catch up with him. The horse was a strange one, and the rider did not re semble any of his friends. A broad hat flapped up and down. Dan Kennett's heart went up and down; up and down, as a girl's lovely face was revealed under the broad brim of the flapping hat; it stopped altogether when the rider resolved into Evelyn Lane herself,' coming toward him with tremulous smile and pleading eyes. Flip raced crazily toward her. "Dan!" she called, and it woke him from his stupor of surprise. In an lnstan he was on the ground and holding out his arms, and she slipped down from the saddle and into his embrace with the happiest sigh of con tent in the world. long period of bliss, she told him how Perched on a sand dune, after a she came to be there. She had loved him, but had doubted her own heart, and he had gone away so quickly. If he had waited a little! Then things had been very dull and she had decided to spend a year with an aunt in Los Angeles. She and Flip had started, and the day the train had stopped she had been visiting the ter rier in the baggage car. When the chain had slipped from her hand, she had caught an instant's glimpse of her lover. At the first stop she made use of the information gathered of the stopping place in the prairie; had taken a local train to the nearest point to reach Horse Lick Springs; had taken a stage to the Springs and from the hotel window had seen Dan Kennett- She had called for a horse and fol lowed him and here she was! Dan took her back to the Springs in the afterglow, and the next day he ac companied her to a railroad station where she could resume her Journey westward; he would Join her as soon as his work was done and then they could be married. Before they part ed, Dan solemnly tore the red tag In two pieces and gave one to his sweet heart. "If it hadn't been for that, Evelyn," he murmered, "this might not have happened." e Browning was relating a glimpse he had had of Dan's meeting with his sweetheart. "I say, fellows," he con cluded, "I never saw a chap so glad to see his rich uncle in my life!" (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Lit erary Press.) British Navy Changes. The new year promotions in the English fleet must constitute somewhat grim and pathetic reading to the hard working young officers of our own ser vice who linger so long at the sheer pole. Eleven commanders have at tained past ciptalns' rank, at an aver age of 37 years not of service, but of age, the oldest being at 41 and the youngest at 35. Think in these days of head winds and adverse currents of a captain of 35 in our navy! The other notable fact In this se lection is the recognition given to spe cialization. Seven of the new cap tains were either gunnery or torpedo officers, while only two were naviga tors, and but one sole and solitary nonspecialist appears ir. the list. Cap tain Lowther Crofton, pleasantly re membered here as flag commander to that fine sailor, Sir Edward Seymour, during the Hudson-Fulton ceremon ies, has attained his new grade at 36, thus Jumping over the heads of 32 seniors and, luckily favored by a fair tide, with a sure chance of securing flag rank at an early age. The promotions of lieutenants to the grade of commander are equally note worthy in the advancement of gun nery and of torpedo officers, a partic ular efficiency in battle practice evi dently constituting a strong claim to the remembrance of the admiralty. The "salt horse and weevilly biscuit" sub alterns have fared not nearly so well, and this to U3 seems a queer discrim ination. The oldest of new command ers is 35, the youngest 31, and "here," as the immortal Sqeers has it, "here is richness." The ages at which these command ranks are reached in the British and tie Japanese navies seem rather immature to us. But after all is said and done, and recognizing the new responsibilities, are they, on the whole, so very young? New York Herald. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.l To err Is human, but In baseball it counts against your average. Many a man growls about his meals who would resent being called a dog. The character of little Eva in "Un cle Tom's Cabin' is really no child's play. When a man falls to get an office out of either party he becomes a re former.

Below is a communication from the Topeka Teachers' club read before the board meeting: "We, the members of the Topeka Teachers' club, desire to thank you for your generous recognition of our serv ices, as shown by the recent Increase in salaries. "We feel a keen appreciation of the good business management of our board of education, which makes such an increase possible, in addition to all debts paid and to the building done in the past ten years. "This recognition of bur worth, we believe, will inspire each teacher to even greater effort in making our schools the best in the middle west." President J. D. Norton extended to the men recently elected to the school board whose terms of office will begin in August an invitation to attend all board meetings between now and that time.

And Neighborhood People Want Them Spared. Claude Heathergton Related to First Ward People. "Woodman spare that tree." This is the substance of the petition which the people of the Rochester neighborhood are presenting the coun ty commissioners. However, tt happens that there are more than one tree in question, a row of them in fact,, which bavfc stood in the road for over 40 years, even before the old ark of the Santa Fe junction depot was built. Lately the Rochester people heard that the commissioners contemplated removing the trees, of the maple vari ety, so as to make more room In the road. The trees are in the center of tne road, and extend about a block just north of Toaeka. About 30 feet of roadway lies on eith er side of the venerable maples. Never theless it seems that the west side of the highway is seldom used. Hence it is the wish of those interested that the road be reconstructed to run east, the extent of the tree line, and leave the tiees on the west. The maples were planted by the old settlers of the nighborhood, and have been landmarks and a beauty spot for over a generation. Accordingly the old residents and others are asking the county commissioners to not molest the trees. Among the former is E. H. Ten ant of 1527 Tyler street. He drew up a petition to the county commissioners. after talking to Ed O'Neil. county com missioner, about the matter. The eu- iion read as follows: "To the honorab'.a board of county commissioners: We, the undersigned, your petitioners, would pray and petition your honorable board, that the row of roaple trees standing on Rochester road just north of the city limits be allow ed to remain as a landmark and orna ment to the North side." Mr. Tenant is an old time newspaper man, and has owned papers in Kan sas. Oklahoma and Nebraska. "I heard that the county eommis- t loners contemplated removing the trees," he said. "I called up Mr. O'Neil, the eounty commissioner, and told him the sentiment of the neighborhood was opposed to such action. Mr. O'Neil told me to get up a petition and present it to the commissioners Friday. "The trees are oki landmarks, and people of Rochester do not wish them taken down. There are 30 feet of the road on either side, but as the west half Is seldom used. I do not see why the highway may not be so reconstructed as to run east of the trees, thus leav ing them on the west side." Arthur Morton, employed in the Shawnee State bank, will leave' tomor row for an extended visit at his home, Interlethen, Scotland. This town is noted for its "St. Ronan's well." which is referred to in one of Sir Walter Scott's works. The home of the author. Abbotsford.-ls ei?ht miles south of the city on the River Tweed. The well mentioned is a mineral spring, containing sulphur and a saline chemical. The water is bottled and sold for medical purposes. The woolen mill, the power for which is furnished by the River Tweed, is the chief industry of the town. Claude Hetherton, the private sol dier who died recently at Monterey, CaL, from wounds received by being presumably accidentally shot at target practice at the Presidio, is related to several North side people. He is also a son of Richard Hetherton of St. Marys, where the funeral was held this afternoon, the body having been brought there from Monterey. The dead man is a nephew of H. Williams of 709 West Gordon street. Mr. and Mrs. Williams and son. Clarence, are in St. Marys to attend the funeral. Besides these, other relatives who at tended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. James Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Clar ence Dixon, Mr. and Mrs John Booth, Albert B. Williams and Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Williams. Heatherton was well 'iked in St. Marys. He had beVn taking measure ments in the target range, and it was supposed that he was not seen by the men at target practice. He was too far away from them to be heard, it is said, and was shot full of holes. When found, his head was nearly shot off. He lived nearly two days afterwards. Since then the matter is being investi gated by the military authorities. The death was a great shock to people in St. Marys and on the North side. He is spoken well of by all who knew him. Community Comment. These are the days when people are saying, "What on earth shall I get her for a graduating present?" By the way, what has become of the interesting organization known as the "Spinsters' union?" The real excitement at a boarding house is when one of the girls there is discovered wearing a new ring. There-is this much for elopements: They do away with the tiresomeness of a. "church wedding." Speaking about slogans: What has become of the one donated by the old Commercial club, "75,000 by 1911?"

It is but a few years since one car load of pineapples was sufficient to swamp the market in Kansas City, and the fact that 14 cars have been sold in the last four days in Topeka alone simply shows what wonderful popu larity the pineapple has attained late ly. Its poularity is a very just one, as there is no other fruit so cheap and so easily put up, while at the same time there is no more delicious than th pineapplle when properly canned. Just now they are cheaper than at any time of the year. TWO BOYS ITl'DETt ARREST. Tliey Are Charged With "Cutting X"p" Algot Anderson.

The long contested order of the interstate commerce commission, reducing the freight rate between the Mississippi river and the Missouri river as a part of the through rate on through ship ments originating in the seaboard ter ritory, was today declared to be valid by the United States supreme court. The authority of the interstate commerce commission in issuing the order directing a reduction of the through freight rates from Chicago and St. Louis to Denver and the val idity of that order was also upheld. An attempt to have the court pass on the authority of common carriers, engaged in interstate commerce to make "Jim Crow" regulations met with failure, when the court dismissed the socalled Chiles appeal from its docket.

Edwin, Jr., Footsore and Broke Asks for Night's Lodging. New York, May 31. "Say, officer," began a lanky youth of 17 years who had blisters on his feet and dusty shoes, to Policeman Thomas W. Grace, on the "desk" at the New Britain, Conn., police station at 3 o'clock a. m., "say. officer. I'm all in. Will you let me sleep here? My name is Edwin Gould, jr..' and I'm a grandson of Jay Gould. My father could buy up this whole town and not go broke, but I have not a sou." Mr. Gould, so Grace says, elaborated his story and related that he was play ing "hookey" from school up at Pom fret Center, about fifty miles away; that he was tired of the whole "she bang" and that while a ball game was happening on Friday afternoon, last, he had climbed over the school yard fence and started out to "hike" back to New York over the turnpikes. "I had $2.50 when I started out on Friday," young Gould explained, "which was almost enough' to buy .i ticket to New York on a regular pas senger train. But I was afraid that, if I -ot on a train some of the school people or some of my own folks would see me and send me back to Pomfret school. "I'm a kid, maybe." Edwin said, "but I've seen a bit of Broadway; and I'm not blowing about it I'm just telling you. And so' father se"' me up here in the country to this school at Pom fret three weeks ago. There are about 125 boys there and it was ail right for a while, but it didn't take 1 lonr for the attractions of the conn- Are You Proud of try, even though it is spring, to wear off. So I quit. Was on the Blacklist. "The boys have a blacklist at the school, and for the last week I've been on it for some reason. So I got 'sore' and while the baseball game was on last Friday I slid over the fence during the third inning, with tny J2.50 and started for New York. I wish I had the $2.50 now." Policeman Grace personally saw to it that Edwin was assigned to a choice cell in the north tier of the police sta tion house. The boy was sound asleep about the time he struck the cell couch and he slept without moving until 11 o'clock. Before he got up Police Chief Rawlings of New Britain got in touch with members of the Gould family over the long distance telephone. George Campbell, secretary to Edwin Gould, sr., told the chief that he would come up to New Britain and take Edwin, jr.. back to New York. When the boy awakened he ate a po lice station breakfast in a way that a hired man couldn't have beaten. Then he came out to the desk and told the interested "cops" some more about his wanderings. He did not know at this time, however, that his grandmother, Mrs. George Shrady, and his father, were streaking across Connecticut in an automobile looking for the boy. NOT IN THE TRUST. The John Robinson Shows Coming on June 13. The only big cItcus and menagerie that has not joined the "circus trust" is the famous John Robinson's big shows, the oldest amusement institu tion in existence. With no less than 6 years of history behind it during which it has never changed its name or title, and never has been out of the Robin son hands, its growth has been of the kind that insures solidity. It carries a thousand people, 500 horses, hundreds of wild animals and requires four trains to transport it. An enormous array of high salaried arenic stars from Europe and America, including no less than 30 riders. 100 acrobats and gymnasts, 50 aerial artists, 50 clowns, etc., present a program so varied, ar tistic and exciting as. to defy comipe titlon.

No Decision In Central Park Band Concert Question. Commissioner Holman Sajs He Will Have to Investigate. "THERE IS A REASON." Quinton Tells Officials of -Sonie Dark Hidden Motive. Claims There Is Something Be hind Park Band Concerts. The accompaniment to the "swan song" of the Central park band stand war is still playing a lively tune and after a long stretch of oratory and dis cussion at the city hall this morning the sons failed to come to a satisfac tory end. A petition signed by 250 people living in the Central, park vicin ity was presented to the city board of commissioners and like brave war riors they unloaded the burden upon Commissioner Holman. The petition protested asaihst Commissioner Hol man's idea of- having band concerts in the park this summer. Commissioner Holman refused to take any stand on the concert or non concert question this morning. He stated that he would investigate the petition handed to the board of com missioners and make up his mind as to the. proper course later. He would not say that the band stand would be built on an island in one of the lakes or that it wouldn't be built. "I don't know what I will do about this matter," said Mr. Holman. "Some people want the concerts here, some want them in the park but not on the island and others don't want them in the park at all. There is consider able sentiment from all sources. "Not long ago Commissioners Tandy and Miller, H. B. Howard, Superin tendent Reinisch and I went out to the park and decided on this move. We thought then and there that it was the best thing to do and we went ahead to do it. "About the swans Superintendent Reinisch tells me that there is nothing to worry over in this connection. Mat ters can be adjusted very easily to ar range for a resting place for the swans. There Is no disposition to disturb them, as the people seem to think." Ralph Gaw presented the petition against the bandstand to the city com missioners this morning. He accom panied the presentation act with a neat little speech in which he explain ed the use of the park, the idea of its gardening, the habits of the swans and the arguments against the propo sition of placing a bandstand In this district. His talk was followed by another from A. B. Quinton, who was disposed to criticise and ridicule the action of Commissioner Holman in holding out against the peopleonthe matter of the park. K This spirit qfyandalism exhibited by someone in attempting to burn the bridge is a true picture of the senti ment of the people against, the action of the city jn placing a bandstand in this park," said Mr. Quinton. "It shows that the city is trying "to do something that the people rebel against. "I can t understand what the park commissioner means by saying that the people want music out there. The other day I asked him to give me just one name of a person who had said that he wanted the music out here and Mr. Holman very conveniently forgot all of them he couldn't re member a one. "It looks to me as though there was some reason for placing these band concerts in Central park. I can't fig ure out what that reason is but there is something behind all of this. I notice that the city council gave a few of the concerts and some of the con cert money to the Knights and Ladies of Security band. There may be some reason hid in this action." George Badders, secretary of the Commercial club, made the next im passioned plea. Mr. Badders said that the sentiment in this part of the city was undoubtedly against the band concert idea at Central park. "I have a suggestion to make, gen tlemen," said Mr. Badders. "I would suggest that these concerts be trans ferred to Chesney park, which is just two blocks south of Central park and really a better location for the band concerts. Here would be an excellent place to leave automobiles and car riages and it is off the street car line away from all annoyances. This, I believe would serve the people better than Central park." After the oratory had ceased the commissioners voted to refer the mat ter to Commissioner Holman for ac tion. The people near Chesney park say that if the park commissioner wishes to build a bandstand in Ches ney park, they will contribute out of their own pockets to duiiq tne stand. The famous tree trimming ordinance came before the city commissioners for the final action this morning and it was passed. It will be published in the State Journal, the official city paper, at once and then will be a law. This will mean that the people of the city will have to trim their trees properly or they will be fined hea-.ily and the work done charged against them. At the present time many people have seen the hand-writing on the wall and have trimmed their trees. Many streets in the city are filled with dead limbs. The territory in the west portion of Elmhurst, and west of Boswell avenue: thence south as far as Euclid avenue was taken into the city officially today. This is an immense rich piece of ter ritory and will be laid out in city lots at once much of 1t in this condition at this time. The "going west" habit has grown to such an extent in Tapeka that the city officials have to extend the city limits to catch the population. Now for Oakland and Highland Park. The contract for the grading, curbing and guttering of the Kenwood tract was lei to the contracting firm of Lutte johann Folk this morning. The amount reached aoout $31,000.

Closing exercises will be held tomorrow afternoon at the Topeka Industrial insti tute east of the city. There will be no graduates this year on account of the fact that' the standard of work has been raised, so no orations will be given. At 2:30 o'clock a band concert will be given by the institute band which will be followed by demonstrations of the work which has been accomplished during the industrial departments. The concluding ceremony will be a flag raising on the part of the Fort Pillow post of the G. A. R. IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. Bendernagle Goes on the Stand and Denies Everything, New York, May 31. With three de fendants eliminated but with the inter est in the proceedings heightened rath er than diminished by their withdrawal. the resumption today of the sugar con spiracy trial in the United States cir cuit court was accompanied by rumors mat tne government s long search -for men still "higher up" in the alleged conspiracy .might shortly be rewarded. ihe rumor arose chiefly out of develop ments said to have followed the arrest of James O. Brzezenski, the former special treasury agent, on a charge of perjury in connection with the sugar c&ses. As the result of pleas of guilty last Friday by the three government check ers, on trial, there remained the big man in the case, Charles R. Heike, sec retary of the American Sugar Refining company, and two of his former sub ordinates, Ernest W. Gerbracht, super intendent of the company s Williams burg refinery and James F. Benderna gel, the refinery cashier. Motions of their counsel to dismiss the indictments were denied by Judge Martin. When the government had rested, Harry F. Cochrane, attorney for Ben- dernagel, opened the case for the de fense, telling the jury it would be shown Bendernagel never had anything to do with sugar weights, false or true. Mr. Cochrane said nothing had been ad duced to show conspiracy between Bendernp.gel and the other defendants. Bendernagel was put on the stand as the first witness for the defense. He said he had been employed by the su gar company for 40 years and as cash ier had reecived $6,000 a year. He han dled about $4,000,000 a year. Bendernagel said he had never been in the company's scale houses and did hot go on the raw sugar docks more than twice a year. Oliver Spitzer, the dock superintendent, had entire control of the dock. Bendernagel said. He never looked at the men's time sheets and all ho had to do with the pay rolls was to requisition the Wall street's office for money to meet them. As to sugar weights, he never bothered with them and he had never seen one of the "little pink books" that have figured in the trial in the comparisons between government and refinery weights. Nor had he ever seen a gov ernment weighers' book. FINE OF ONE CENT. That Is What It Cost C. J. Iongers to Disturb Jesse Wood ring. A fine ef one cent was imposed by Judge Simon today against C J. Long ers, charged with disturbing the peace of Jesse Woodring. Both men are farmers of Topeka vicinity and the whole trouble came from the ravages of a Hock of chickens belonging to Longers. The evidence introduced showed that Woodring went to the Longers place to protest against the visitations of the hens and finding Longers not at home delivered his objections to the house wife. Longers, returning home, was advised of the visit of Woodring and, accompanied by his wife, went to the home of Woodring with a counter harangue so forceful that the subject felt his peace disturbed. Both parties were censured by Judge Simon, who taxed the costs of the case with the one cent fine to the defendant. At the Grand. Margaret Anglin, America's second greatest emotional actress, pleased a good sized audience at the Grand Mon day night, "with her latest success "The Awakening of Helena Ritchie." This play is one of the most uncommon on the stage today. It is strong in every character, and teaches many lessons. It presents ordinary life in a most un usual way. "Helena Ritchie" is a wo man of the world, who lives at Old Chester, on the bounty of her lover Prvor. Shfe seeks seclusion but society demands her company. The people of the town force their attentions upon her. Pryor is known as her brother, until a physician with a gossip for a wife discovers her secret. In the mean time she has been favored with the care of a little boy, by a minister. The physician declares1 he will unmask her, if she does not give up the chiid. Pryor now tells her that he wants to marry another woman. The child is taken away, and she is left alone. She would marry Pryor but he talks her out of the idea by asking the question "Can the mumbling of a few words by a preacher bring us closer together?" Her answer is "No." The play does a great work in hold ing up the narrow views of society, to public gaze. It snows now a woman once fallen is kept down forever. So ciety listens, to the words about the "first stone" which ministers delight to quote but it extends no helping hand to the woman. The piece shows very plainly how little good sermons do, is thev sro in one ear and out tne otner. But the greatest- lesson the play teaches is this: That the force called love makes marriages and not mar riages love. That the idea of having a preacher recite a lew woras, wnion are supposed to unite a couple is sim ply a custom of society and that love is the welding force, and not the mar riage ceremony. Miss Anglin is at her very best In this play. Her work' was flawless. The lines of the play are not very pointed or strong but she drives home their hidden meaning with terrible force. It is her work that makes the piece a sue cess. Miss Anglin's company is a strong one -and accords her excellent support- At the Majestic. Stage Director Robert Blaylock could hardly have picked a better ve hicle with which to please patrons of the Majestic theater than the one the North players are presenting this week.

D., mis sionary bishop of Wyoming, a son of the second bishop of Kansas, made the dedicatory address. "The work of the apostles was founded on a rock our Savior." said Bishop Thomas. "A finer feeUng came to exist in the church when the old custom of laying the corner stone un der the foundation was discontinued and the cornerstone placed above the foundation instead. "It is something to-be gazed upon and not hidden away. Christ is gazed upon in his glory a Savior upon whom we build. "This building in which one stone is related to another in order to make the whole is -like the church. We stand here at a fitting time with the build ing still incomplete, and certain parts of it yet to be adjusted. "I ..can.not be unmindful of those who nave made it possible to erect this fabric.

GUESS OH THE CENSUS. Rumor That It Will Give Topeka 45,000 Population. A rumor is being circulated that the 1910 census will give Topeka a population of 45,000. Supervisor Van Sant said today: "I have made no estimates whatever and con templated none. All schedules were for warded direct upon their return and I can not say what the final showing will be. My estimate would have to be a simple guess like anybody else and would be of no more value. "Two things are certain, however, and that is that our enumerators made an ex haustive campaign and that there was no padding of the census as has been report ed in other cities. "The reported interview that I was dis satisfied with the newspapers and the Commercial club for not assisting in get ting the census is misrepresented. The papers did everything in their power to aid in a correct census and the Com mercial club offered to hire an assistant for me to do special work In watching for pickups. I did say that the Kansas City and St. Joseph plan adopted by the Com mercial clubs of getting out a card index of the city before the enumerators went out was a good one but I also said It was too expensive to be attempted here.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1910. VOULOJAR IT. Congressman Anthony Makes an Effort in House To Prevent Purchases From Standard Oil Co. FOK SOLDIEJiS' HOMES. In Line With Government De partments Where Concerns Declared Unlawful by Federal Courts. Washington, May 28. By a ruling in -the house of representatives on a point of order made by Mr. Tawney of. Min nesota, Mr. Mann of Illinois saved the Standard Oil company from the ban of the government in the expenditure of appropriations for the national sol diers homes. On Friday Representative Anthony of Kansas offered an amendment to the sundry civil bill which "Provided, That no moneys appropriated by this act ehall be used for purchases of supplies, fuel, or material for national soldiers' homes on behalf of the government from any corporation which has been declared by the federal courts to be a party to an unlawful trust or mon opoly, nor from any middleman or agent of any such company or concern where it is known that such middle man or agent is acting for or selling the products of such unlawful concern." During the debate which followed Mr. Anthony said: "Mr. Chairman, I do not think the amendment is subject to a point of or der, for the precedents are full of pre vious occasions where limitations much wider than the one I have offered have been allowed to stand in regard to sol diers' home appropriations. I call at tention of the chair to paragraph 3942 of the precedents of the house of rep resentatives. 'While it is not in order to legislate as to qualifications of the recipients of an appropriation, the house may specify that no part of the appropria tion shall go to recipients lacking cer tain qualifications.'. "Now, in this amendment I do pro vide that no part of this appropriation shall go to certain corporations which do lack certain qualifications; that is, that lack the qualification of being an honest and legitimate business corpora tion under the law. In that same para graph it was held in order by the chair to insert a limitation, as follows: 'Provided. That no part of the ap propriation shall be available for the Agricultural college of Utah until the secretary of agriculture shall be satis fied,, and shall so certify to the secre tary of the treasury, that no trustee, officer, instructor; or employe of said college is engaged in the practice of j polygamy or polygamous relations." "Further on, while a bill was under discussion making appropriations for soldiers' homes, a limitation was offer ed in an amendment which provided that the appropriation should not "be used for any home where the canteen existed, and so broad a limitation as that was held in order by the chair, although the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Mann) debated the question with the chair at that time and held the contrary view. But I am quite su-e that, now being in the chair, the chair man would be inclined to look at the question in a different light." How Trust Is 'Favored. Nevertheless, the point of order was sustained by the chair, whereupon Mr. Anthony proceeded to show that the board of managers was favoring cor porations which had previously been declared unlawful by federal courts and where other government depart ments had prohibited purchases from such unlawful trusts. Anthony said on this subject: "Mr. Chairman, it Is exceedingly surprising to me that the board of managers of the soldiers' homes, which comprises in its membership the presi dent of the United States and the sec retary of war, should not take official notice of the rulings and regulations of the department of war. which gov erns the department In its purchase of supplies. All that I ask for in the lim itation which I offered a moment ago was none other than the recent order of the secretary of war in reference to the purchase of supplies for the war department. In that circular, which was issued by the war department, signed by Secretary Dickinson on De cember 11, 1909, it is said; War Department, Washington. December 11, 1909. The Standard Oil company of New Jer sey and the other companies named in faction 2 of the decree of the United States circuit court, eastern district of Missouri, entered November 20, 1909, hav ing been adjudicated parties to an unlaw ful trust, are hereby brought within the cope of the directions heretofore given that no purchase on behalf of the gov ernment be made directly from any cor poration which has been adjudicated to be a party to an unlawful trust and monop oly and to be carrying on business in vio lation of law, nor from any middleman or agent of any such company or concern where it is known that such middleman or agent is acting for such unlawful con cern. The other companies named in section I of the decree above referred to are as follows: Anglo-American Oil company (Limited), Atlantic Refining company. Buckeye Pipe Line companv. Borne Scrymser company, Chesebrousrh Manu facturing company (Consolidated!. Cum berland np iine company, colonial Oil ompany. Continental Oil companv. treseent Pipe IJne companv.

Swan Finch company. Union Tank Line company. Vacuum Oil company, Wash ington Oil company, Waters-Pierce Oil company. All officers or agents of the government in or 'under the war department will please be governed accordingly. J. M. DICKINSON. Secretary of War. Wants Coal Used- Instead of Oil "I believe if a regulation of that kind is wise for the guidance of the grca departments of the government it is aii the more necessary that the board of managers of the soldiers" homes should follow such a precedent as that. Now, the necessity for such-limitation for the observance of sach regulations lies in the fact that there haa come in re cent years from some source. -which T do not know, an effort to put fuel oil Into soldiers' homes for fuel, and in ev ery case representatives of the Standard Oil company offered to furnish fuel oil Just a little under the price of coal mined by miners trying to earn an hon est living, sometimes in the locality of the homes, and then, after changing the heating plant at great expense, coal is displaced and oil is used for fuel. It is true the board of managers has furnished figures which showed a slight difference in favor of the change of fuel at these homes. They are written for the purpose of bolstering up the state ment made in regard to the use of that oil. "As. a matter of fact, when you take into consideration the vast amount of money which has been expended in changing the heating and the radiation plants to make them conform to the use of oil, it will show that oil is really an expensive luxury. I had hoped that the chair would have ruled that limi tation which I offered in order, and I still believe that It Is in order; but I am In iioipes. however, that the mere offering of the amendment on the floor of this house and calling the attention of the board of managers to the ex istence of the circular issued by the war department in regard to the purchase of materials from corporations which have teen declared by federal courts to he Novel Scale-Cheating Device Discovered Inspector. The Arrow Indicates the unlawful trusts and combinations will be sufficient for the board of managers to seek no further to attempt to dis place honest business in its efforts to sell material to the United States gov ernment in favor of firms which have been declared by federal courts to be and unlawful corporations." VETERANS KEEP DAY. Major General J. C. Caldwell Speaks at Auditorium. Notwithstanding the precipitation of the morning, the afternoon of Memorial day was bright and the ceremonies which had been scheduled were. held. About 3,000 people attended the Audi torium meeting where General John C Caldwell, the only surviving major gen eral of the civil war. and who is 77 years of age. gave the address of the afternoon. "In my memory there hav3 been 18 wars," said General Caldwell. "Some of these were the bloodiest in the annals of human history. Were these in the time when civilization was checked and rations lived in barbarism? On the con trary, it was the golden age of litera ture and civilization. They say this is now a day when the disputes of nations will be settled by arbitration and war is no more. I wish I could say so, but the history of the past does not indicate it. Strife Is Law. "Will Germany submit to arbitration and decide the question of giving back Alsace, which was stolen? Will Italy give Rome back to the pope? Will Germany and Russia arbitrate the ques tion of the freedom of. Poland? win I England submit to arbitration, the free dom of Ireland? No. of course not. Alsace, Poland, Ireland should be free, but will those things be settled by ar bitration? No. Strife is the law of humanity and strife will always be the defense of nations. There is no such factor in the campaign for peace as the ability to make war. "The war of tomorrow will be a bat tle of machinery, not men," said the speaker. "There will be very few men seen on the field of action, and the old heroic charges of the division, the bat talion or the brigade will be a thing of the past. It will then bs the man tehind the machinery. Tribute to Labor. "The civil war not only perpetuated the integrity of the nation and wiped out the only blot on our beloved land, the enslavement of the black race, but it hastened the time when labor should s,tand pre-eminent in the minds of the neoDle. The time has now come when the sweat that distills on the hbnest tiow of labor is a more precious adorn -i lent than the tiara of princes and the horny hand of labor the truest badge Of nobility. Labor has covered the land with its trophies, whitened the seas with its commerce end has established a net work of communication throughout the civilized world, uniting by muscles of :ron and nerves of steel sections most remote and interests most diverse. This is the work of labor." Praises Waters. During the course of his address the speaker paid high tribute to Captain Joseph G. Waters of this city. "There is a man in this audience whom I saw as a boy in the battle at Franklin. Tenn.," said he. "It was one of the bloodiest battles of the war with the exception of Antietam. Our forces vtre beaten and we were out of ammu nition. This boy was sent for one load of ammunition through difficulties which I will not enumerate. He not cniy brought one load, but 20 and the Union army repulsed tho enemy. One load would have left us beaten, but 20 saved the day." C. N. Bacon was master of celemonies at the Auditorium gathering, reading at the opening of the exercises a poem on "Abraham Lincoln" by C. E. Eldridge. Lincoln's Gettysburg address was read by Capt. J. M. Miller. The invocation was delivered by Dr. F. N. Lynch, and the benediction also given by him. Miss Grace Bacon sang two patriotic aoios.

Grocers in Kansas City "Fixed" Scales Device Is Located. "It is certainly a clever device," said John A. Kleinhans, state food inspector, commenting in respect to the "scaifs fixing" device which he discovered in Kansas City, Kan. Kleinhans unearth ed In two of the largest grocery stores In that city a machine which falsifies weight on a counter scale, and it goes without saying that the scales were condemned. Before the enactment of the stringent laws in Kansas against scale frauds there were many kinds of scales which were designed to cheat the customer, but since the enactment" of the law goods dispensers have been more cau tious. "The scale can be made to cheat from a half ounce -to a half pound," said Kleinhans. "The regular scale sits on the falsifying device, and it is im possible to detect that anything is wrong unless tt is taken to pieces." In construction the machine is ex ceedingly simple. It consists of a by John A. Kleinhans, State Food Locution of the Contrivance. single board fashioned to fit tightly beneath the body of the scale. On this board, fastened to a long opening along its center, is a cylindrical drum through which projects a pin, bearing on one end an upright screw, and at the other a weight. When merchandise is being weighed on the scale the screw is turned up ward due to the weight on its other extreminty, and this push is directed against the balancing rod which con nects the two arms of the scale, be neath the base. The screw then main tains a continual tapping on the rod which causes the variation in the reg istration of the scales. ASK FOR INJUNCTION. Shippers Open Their Fight Against Increase in Freight Rates. Washington, May 31. Vigorous rep resentations have been made to Attor ney General Wickersham by interests representing territory on western traf fic lines asking that the government enjoin the railroads from putting into effect a general increase in freight rates on June 1, notice of which was given by the railroads a month ago. It was argued that the proposed in creases were unwarranted .and unjust and were the result of a combination or agreement among- the railroads in r Two Curtiss biplanes of racing type In contest on circular course. This form of aviation Is attended with greater danger than any other duo to the fact that the propellers of each machine set up a terrific draft which would upset the other in case it dropped into its path. contravention of law. The attorney general told his callers he would do the best he could for them, but he de clined to outline what 'Is course of procedure might be. The hearing was held in the attor ney general's office where a delegation of about forty, which included a Com mittee representing the meeting re cently held at Omaha, Neb., made up of the shippers, consumers and pro ducers, called to take action protesting against the advance. The committee was accompanied by senators and congressmen- in the territory affected. They were: Senators Clapp of Minne sota, Cullom of Illinois and. Warner of Missouri; and Representatives Nye of Minnesota, Hitchcock and Norris f Nebraska, Hubbard of Iowa, Madden of Illinois, and Stafford of Wisconsin. In a general way the case of the pro testants was first presented by Wm. D. Haynle, counsel of the Illinois Manu facturers' association... who presented a memorial prepared as a result of the Omaha meeting. It -asked that an -Injunction suit be brought to prevent the increased rates becoming operative until such time as the courts could de termine whether an illegal combination existed. The general burden that would !e Imposed by the proposed rates on man ufacturers, producers and consumers was too great, the memorial declared, and should be resisted. Old metho.i3 were too slow In stopping their becom ing effective, it was set forth, and the interests affected suggested that tho interposition of the Sherman anti-trust ac might be invoked. The expectation of the protestantn was that the- increase announced would be followed by further advance particularly in the lines leading to the seaboard. The memorialists vook tho ground that the action of the railroads in seeking to incrcare rates at this time was to forestall congressional legisla tion giving the interstate commerce commission authority to set aside pro posed rates in advance on complaint of a shipper it being admitted in re sponse to a suggestion of the attorney general that it would be easier to drop from a higher than to increase a low er rate. -rt t this point the attorney general told his hearers that he would give the matter careful attention. The sugges tion that the Sherman law be invoke; he said, was a novel one. Cope sells new potatoes 30 cents a peck. What do you pay?- FLY MEN ON WAY

J. C. Mars andC. F. Wlllard Will Be Here" Tomorrow. With Them Comes Latest I in proved Flying Machines. CAMP AT THE PARK. Tents Erected Near Grounds for the Machines. WTork Started Today on Soldier Creek Bridge. Two of America's foremost aviators, J. C. Mars, "the dauntless king of the air" and Chas. F, Willard, "the wizard of the air;" two Curtiss racing bi planes, and the material for a mon ster 8. cylinder racer; a large crew of expert aeronautic mechanics and a full machine shop will arrive in To peka tomorrow morning for the big aviation meet at Garfield park on June 7th, 8th and 9th. This information was brought here by Samuel E. Lux, one of the board of managers of the Fair association, who attended the flights at Joplin. Mo., and who returned accompanied by a representative of the Curtiss aeroplane company. Upon arriving in the city the car of aeroplanes an dparaphernalia will be transferred to. Garfield park, where an aviation camp will be established. Each machine will be assembled in a specially designed tent by a corps of mechanics who-have taken a course in the Curtiss aeroplane factory at Ham mondsport. N. Y. Preparations for the coming, meet were started Monday, when the board of managers inspected the big aviation field and decided upon the location for the erection of a grandstand large enough to seat 15,000 people. It was found necessary also to remove a line of dead telephone poles and take out several trees that obstructed the view of the grandstand. Work was also started on the erec tion of a new bridge across the creek in the rear of Garfield park, which will be the general admission gate to the field on the Taylor meadow. When Aviators Mars and Willard arrive tomorrow morning, thej- will be met by the managers of the Fair association who are bringing this big event to this city, and they will lay out a course for the aeroplane con tests of about a mile circumference for the path over which they will fly. The air crafts used in the meet here will be of the same type as that used by the Inventor and successful demon strator, Glenn H. Curtiss, in his won derful record flight from Albany to New York. These machines are the most efficient and practical heavier than air crafts that are known to the world today as shown by the of ficial world's records made and held by the Curtiss bipiano against all other successful types of aeroplanes known to the flying world. This machine holds the world's rec ord for speed, long distance flight, made by Mr. Curtiss In his flight Sun- day, quick starting, short starting, th5 slowest speed in circling a course' and accuracy in landing. This last record was made by Mr Willard at Los Angeles, Cal., last Jan uary in his four cylinder biplane when he made 100 per cent for rising from a twenty feet square and after circling the field stopped his machine and land ed in the identical spot he started from. He won this event against the most successful aviators of the world. J. C. Mars has won fame and recog nition for his daring and spectacular work in the air with which he has thrilled thousands of spectators since his debut in the aeroplane world. The Mars glide is a feature performed by no other aviator and is the most difficult stunt ever achieved by any rider of a flying machine. This stunt consists of ascending in the aeroplane until it reaches a height of 500 feet or more. At that dizzy dis tance from the earth, the aviator shut! off his engine and like a huge bird soars towards the ground with accumu lating momentum at every foot drop. To the uninitiated it appears as if the frail craft of bamboo, silk and rods with its-driver -would be crushed to a pulp when the ground and the aero plane collide, but such is not the case. When about twenty feet over the land ing spot, the driver suddenly raises the front control of the flying machine and it veers upward and settles as gent'y as a bird. HORTGN SHOPS CLOSED. Kock Island Cutting Down Expenses Tills Week. You can always tell when a railroad is preparing to declare dividends and the officials are making a "grand fin ale" in economy, in all departments. Men are laid off, supplies are cut down, and every possible means of re ducing the cost of operation is made. From what, is going on in Rock Island circles, it looks as though the dividend time is" near. The news has just reached Topeka that the. Horton shops have been' Closed down.

Mullinix. super intendent of motive power, who lives in this city, did not admit that the shops were closed today. "We are making an overhauling in the station ery department, cleaning boilers, etc.," said Mr. Mullinix. "We have a large force still working, but a majority of them are off until Monday, when ac tive work will resume." "Does this mean hard times?" was asked the superintendent "Oh. no, nothing like that," said Mr. Mullinix... The Kock Island is also cutting down other forces in Kansas. The Herington "rin-track." emnlovine about 200 men, was closed down last week and will remain closed for a time. Yes, dividend times are near but not ""hard times." ROOSEVELT AND ROOT. They Meet in London and Talk Over Home Affairs. London, May 31. Ex-President Roose velt has had an opportunity to hear something of affairs in the United States. By appointment he met Sena tor Elihu Root, who is passing through London on his way to The Hague. Mr. Roosevelt and his former secretary of state had a long talk at Ambassador Reid's residence. Asked later what in teresting subject kept them together for so long a time, Mr. Roosevelt laugh inkly replied: "This is one of the cases in which I must observe my usual reticence." Upon his arrival in Europe, Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Senator Root, ask ing the senator to meet him. Accept ance of this invitation came by- wire less from the steamer Lapland on which Mr. Root was traveling. Mr. Roosevelt made a call on Mrs. Humphrey Ward, with whom he took tea. He dined with Lord Charles Beresford, whose guests included many prominent people of the United States. Ambassador Reid also was present, as were Admiral Sir Edward Hobart Sey mour, Admiral Sir Gerrard Henry Noel. "Vice Admiral Sir Hedworth Lambton, Lord Roberts, Lord Alvertone and Lord Rothschold.

PIES REAL PIES It seems almost foolish and wasteful, to heat up your oven just to bake a pie or two, when you can get such good pies here. Of course we won't blame you for do ing it, if you have never tried our pies. Ordinary bakery pies are not at all satisfactory when compared with your's or our's; but its more economical to buy GOOD pies roady made than to bake them yourself. Our pies are thick and wide and are filled with the choic est fruits we can buy. Nearly ev ery kind of pie you ever heard of. can be had fresh each day. The price is fifteen cents each, but we're sure you'll say they're worth it and gladly. THE DELICATESSENS LABOR. SAVERS This is a different age for nearly everything. Why not household methods. There are too many wo men today, who spend too much time in the kitchen, simply because it is a matter of custom and is con sidered a "duty." Why not break away from the hard and fast rule Of slaving over the stove. It's more economical to buy the eat ables ready prepared. Just as you need them. Our delicatessen de-. partment is teeming with really delicious things to eat and the prices are reasonable, too. Investi gate tomorrow. THE MOST NECESSART ARTI CLE OF FOOD. Bread constitutes so large a part of our daily food, that there should be no substitution or second rate c.uality. Our thousands of steady customers who would rather go to a little extra trouble to get WEST OX BREAD proves that it has no equal among baker's loaves. It's only rival is the home baked loaf, the quality of which is so often a matter of chance. If you would be sure of the BEST bread always, demand WESTON Get WESTON' always. 26 ox. loaf 10c.

Miss Zella Zellers, will leave Friday for San Francisco. Cal., to spend the sum mer. One of the very newest and the most striking novelties of the Paris season n matter of headgear is pictured here. The hat, which is of black crin, has a narrow, irregular brim which turns back over a row of small white wings. arranged in an upstanding ring around the crown. The latter is high and soft, and does much to soften the se- vrre effect of the corontt of wings. The hat itself sets well down over the head, almost concealing the coif fure beneath. So. striking is the ef fect of this chapeau as to be almost startling, but the design has the two fold advantage of being direct from Paris, and being a departure in the matter of size from the many mon strosities one sees on every hand or rather on every head. EVENING CHAT BY CTH CAMERON. "I declare, I'm more tired than if I'd done a hard day's work," said my neighbor, sinking down on my door step and glaring at my beautiful pansy bed w ith an unseeing eye. "What's the trouble?" I queried. "That abominable meat man. I sim ply will not trade with him if I have to turn vegetarian. He will not send me what I ask for. I've talked and talked and talked, and doesn't do the least bit of good. Yesterday was the climax. I asked him to not send me more than four pounds of fore quarter of lamb and he sent six pounds of the hind quarter. I went down this morn ing to blow him up and tell -him we wo u Kin t trade there any longer, and he was so impertinent that I got ter ribly angry, and now I feel positively done up." Did it pay? Wouldn't it have been better to sim ply leave off trading with the man but omit the blowing up? Not for his sake, but for hers. Does it ever pay to get angry? Not from a moral but from a phys ical standpoint, I mean. I know a man who says he is done up for a week If he allows himself to get thoroughly angry, and although that is an extravagant case I don't be lieve it's a unique one. If people realized how much vitality they lose by bits of temper it seems to me they would be more careful how they gave way to them. No one who has much to do in the world can afford to be angry or to hate, because he needs his energy for other things. People fancy when they are tired out that their low vitality is all due to overwork, but I have no doubt but that hurry, worry and hate do more ravage to many people's vitality than any out put of honest energy. Never let a child say "I hate" nnre buked. Explain to him besides the moral objections, the utilitarian one that if he hates any one, he gives that person a power to move and wound him, and thereby exalts him. Every hate you harbor is a weak ness, a chain forged about yourself and the key given over to him you hate. Teach the child that indifferenee is a far -healthier, saner feeling than hate. Teach him to say, and try to teach him to feel, the negative "I don't like" instead of the positive "I hate." And while you are teaching him, suppose you also be your own pupil.

Many messages of congratulation came to Glenn H. Curtiss. Since making the J10.000 flight from Albany to New York he has re mained quietly at his hotei. Among those who wired their congratulations to Curtisa ,was George M. Meyers, presiderrt of the Aeronautic association of Kansas City. Curtiss had his machine carefully ex amined and a leak was discovered In the lubricating oil tank. This caused no mishap, but was a source of un known danger. The depletion of his supply of lubricating oil was given as his reason for stopping at the upper end of Manhattan before continuing the flight to Governor's Island. The fight v as resumed after he had replenished the supply. Mayor Gaynor will preside at a dinner in Curtiss' honor at the Ho tel Astor torrigh-t. which will be given by the New York World.

The arbitra tion tribunal before which will be tried the issue between the United States and Great Britain growing out of conflicting interpretations of the Newfoundland fisheries treaty of 1818 will hold its opening session at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The bone of contention now carried to The Hague is the intent of the pro visions of article 1 of the British American treaty of 1818, defining the fishing rights of Americans and Cana dian off the west coast of Newfound land. Newfoundland holds that the right to fish in these waters was grant ed to the inhabitants of the United States only. The United States con tends that its citizens may exercise this right by going there in their own vessels with crews of Swedes, Cana- jt 1 f I -i .1 -1- TV,n T T- I 1- further confines the right of fishing "'to the coast." The United States in terprets these words as including the 1. i it Viorhnra I n H f 1 n 1 L" t-- Newfoundland maintains that Amer icans may fish only outside the coast line proper. There are further sub sidiary points in dispute. Senator Root, who arrived in Lon don yesterday, is on his way to The Hague where he goes as one of the American commissioners before the tribunal. He is accompanied by sev eral lawyers of international experi ence. Waggoner's Annual PicnJc July 18. Atchison. Kan., May 31. B. P.

This Will Be the Defense of Mrs. Doxey on Trial for 3Iurder. St. Louis, Mo., May 31. That the relatives of Mrs. Dora E. Doxey, on trial for the murder of William P. Erder, realize the seriousness of the evidence against her, was indicated during this morning's session of Judge Grimm's court. -Frequent conferences were held -with the woman's attorneys by Mrs. Morris, a sister, and Jefferson Fuller, the aged father of the defend ant. The testimony introduced by the state was mainly corroborating of that pre sented yesterday. Judge Grimm, at the beginning of th3 session, enforced a ruling which bars children and young girls from the court room. Mrs. Dora E. Doxey will be a witness in her own behalf, probably tomorrow, according to her chief counsel, former Lieutenant Governor Charles P. John son. She wiil testify, said the attorney, that she was a slave to morphine, as the result of the administration of the drug to her by her husband, Dr. Leon B. Doxey She will further declare she knows nothing of the arsenic found 'in- the stomach of William J. Erder whom she is accused of having murdered by poison after bigamously marrying him for the purpose of collecting his J2,500 insurance. "Her testimony will show," said Johnson, "that she loved Erder. If Erder had only set his foot down when she first talked of going away and had forbidden her to go. things might have resulted very differently." Two doctors from Columbus, Neb., will testify for the defense as to Mrs. Doxey's subjection to the morphine habit. Doctor I shall have -to forbid you smok ing, drinking and staying out late nights. Patient Oh, doctor, be original. My wife's done that already. Boston Transcript. For Benefit of Women who Suffer from Female Ills Minneapolis, Minn.

Wagstaff Charges Gor. Stubbs With Extravagance. Quotes Figures to Prove He In herited No Deficit. EMPLOYES ARE LAX. Claims Two Members Board Con trol Give Only Part Time. Oil Inspector Longshore Uses Office for Campaigning. Thomas E. Wagstaff, candidate for governor, today makes reply to the open letter oi Governor Stubbs, printed about a week ago. It Is a fiat contra diction, of most of the statements made by the governor and goes deeply Mnto state issues In a sensational manner as follows: Honorable W. R. Stubbs, Topeka, Kan sas. My Dear Governor: I should have answered your open letter to me soon er, but have been out over the state and very busy in my campaign. This tax controversy has been before, the people of Kansas now for about seven months commencing September, 1909, During all of that time, you have been on the defensive and your defenses have each been inconsistent with the others. I desire to call your attention to some of these defenses. In a signed interview (published in the Topeka Cap ital on September 27, 1909, you stated that there had been no increase In the appropriations of the 1309 -legislature, and made yourself authority for the Etatement that the 1907 appropriations vere $7,989,009.89 and the 1909 appropri ations were $7,099,669. In'other words. your legislature of 1909, according to your statement had appropriated $889,- 000 less than the legislature of 1907. t As a matter of fact, the appropria tions for 1909 as compiled by the audi tor were $7,386,578.04 and those of 1907 vere $6,734,927.55. In other words, the legislature of 1909. instead of appropri ating $889,000 less than that of 1907, as you stated, appropriated $651,000 more. Here was a trifling misstatement of $1, 540,000. Did you make that statement knowingly, with the intent to deceive the people or did you know so little of the state's business as this would in dicate. On October 25, 1909, in another interview la the- Cawtal, you stated that your administration would save the peoalo of Kansas $80,000 a year over that of Hoch. No one having replied to this, on January 16. 1910, you became bclder and announced. In the Capital, hat the first year of your administr-iT tion had cost the people of Kansas $500,000 less than the last year of Hoch's administration. As a matter of fact, the auditor's books show that your ad ministration cost $322,000 mot. You missed that guess by $822,000. It will be observed that by this time you are improving somewhat in your guess work. You are not much over half as far out of the way this time as you were in your- first guess. That Hch Deficit. Permit me to cll your" attention to some other statements of yours. On October 4, 1909. and at different times before and since, you have declared that the Hoch administration left you a de ficit of $600,000 and that this wtfe the cause of the increased tax levy for this year. That there was no deficit from a previous administration is shown by the fact that on the 11th day of Jan uary, 1909, when you took your oath of office, there was in the general revenue fund, as shown -by the books of the state treasurer $119,132.44. with no un paid bills outstanding. JViU you kindly tell me how you figure that on that date when you entered office there was a deficit of $600,000. You will perceive, governor, that you have once more missed your guess. by $719,000. That this iy about the usual condition of the treasury on that date is shown by the fact that on the same day In January. 1J05, when Governor Hoch succeeded Governor Bailey there was in the gen eral revenue fund $131,000. No one has ever claimed that there was any defi cit in the Bailey administration, nor did the Hoch administration increase taxes. -Here- is another- peculiar fact: Toa inherited from the Hoch administration instead of a deficit of $600,000 a surplus of $119,000. On the 11th day of Jar.-. uary, 1910, notwithstanding the fact that you had received from the general government half a million dollars ana that the revenue of the state from fees, etc., had greatly increased and that your administration had raised the tax levy nearly a million dollars,, tne Dai ance in the general revenue fund on that date was only $34,000 or $85,000 less than you started housekeeping with, a year before. How do you ac- count for that? Now. Governor. I have called your attention to the fact that In the first authoritative statement you made re garding this tax matter, you were mis taken more than a million and a half dollars, that in your next carefully considered authoritative statement you were mistaken in the sum of $822,000 and that in your last carefully consid ered and authoritative statement, you were mistaken $719,000. How ao you expect the people of Kansas to put any confidence in your statements, when every one that you have issued is as far from the fact as this. If a banker made such a misstatement as this he would land in the penitentiary. If a merchant made such a mistake as this he would be a bankrupt, and yet you pretend to be a business men. lion to save aioney. You have asked me to be specific and tell you just where your administration has been extravagant and wherein I think that I, as governor, idould save money. That Is comparatively easy. I find that the legislature of 1907 appro priated for the purchase of land and additional buildings for our state insti tutions, a total of $1,500,000. Your leg islature of 1909 appropriated for the same purpose $954,000, being $546,000 less but where the legislature of 1907 only appropriated $3,455,000 for maintenance of all of these institutions, your legis lature of 1909 appropriated $4,104,000 or $658,000 more. The legislature of 1907 put $546,000 more into the increase of the state's property, additional build ings for the penal and charitable insti tutions and additional facilities for the educational institutions, adding so much to the state's assets. Your legis lature spent $659,000 more in main tenance, food, salaries, etc. In other words, under your administration, the cost of maintenance, was Increased .20 per cent. It strikes me that a cut couid be made there somewhere and I think I can show you where. The legislature of 1907 appropriated $422,000 for the maintenance of 1,250 inmates In the Denitentiary, your legislature of 1909 appropriated $379,000 for the mainteu anc of only 750 inmates, the Oklahoma prisoners havlnsr been removed. In- other words, the per capita cost of a convict In the penitentiary under Gov ernor Hoch's administration was $169 per year and under yours, $258. I find that for the. months of July, August, and September, 1908, under Governor Hoch's administration it cost $59,806.35 to keep 1,250 prisoners. In July, Au gust and September, 1909, It cost $59. 826.94 to keep 750 prisoners. For those three months under Hoch, the earnings of the penitentiary, were $21,418.18, for the same three months under your administration- the earnings were $1,600. Do you think that is good business? You say that you can neither Increase nor decrease appropriations, that not you but the legislature la responsible for the Increase which you first denied and then admit. You appointed tha present warden of the penitentiary. Do y u hot consider yourself responsible for this unparalleled extravagance? If you do not, the people of Kansas do. Schermorhom and longshore. Again, I call yjour attention to the fact, that the people of Kansas pay Mr. Schermerhorn $2,500 a year as a member of the board of control and the law specifically requires that he shall give all of his time to the duties of his office. Notwithstanding this rigid re quirement of law, last year Mr. Schermerhorn spent 124 days of that time paid for by the state In his home town at Galena attending to his. private business and the state paid his railroad fare and expenses in going to and from his home.- Mr. Bowman of Newton is another member of your board of con trol an I a leading supporter of yours. tie spent last year 125 days of his time that was paid for by the state In New ton attending to his own private busi ness and the state paid his railroad fare and expenses to and from Newton. One of your appointees is Mr. Longshore, Oil Inspector. Mr. Long shore finds oil to inspect wherever there is political business to attend to for you. He was at Independence when I opened my campaign there. He attended the meeting of the Edi torial association at Garden City. He was at Newton when Governor Stan ley spoke there in my interest, and at Hutchinson at the reunion. Where ever there is any political business going on, Joe is there with his oil tester in one hand and his expense account In the other. The same is true of Amrine, the man of many jobs; Mercer, and your other politi cal agents. Those men are supposed to be working for the state under your direction. Do they fill your idea of a 'business administration?. During the time you have been governor, you have been an active candidate for sen ator and have been absent from your office much of the time, leaving the conduct of the state's business- to your increased and unnecessary force of clerks and your Democratic private secretary. You have not attended one-third of the meetings of the exe cutive council of which the- law makes you a member. This continued absence has compelled unnecessary expense in paying others for the work for whieh you are paid by the state. Ona Hundred More Employees. Are you not aware that the state now has on its pay rolls over 100 more employes than Governor Hoch found necessary under his adminis tration? ,Do you not know that the state's pay roll for employees is near ly a million dollars higher now than it was under Stanley, under Bailey or under Hoch, and, if so, how and where? You were once a severe critic of useless employes. That was when you were out of, power. Now that you are in power and have the pat ronage, you have changed your mind. The people of Kansas believe in spite of your recent protestations, and it is a fact that a majority of the last legislature were friendly, to you, as shown by the fact that Joe Dolley, selected by you, was chosen speaker. We know that you dominated both houses. Can you cite one effort made by you to keep down appropriations, cut off useless employes and decrease taxes? On 'the contrary, did you not demand and receive a contingent fund two and one-half times greater than any governor had found necessary before? Was not this demand made first on the plea that it -was needed to repair the state house and when the false pretense of this was shown, the demand was renewed on the ground that it was needed to enforce the prohibitory law? Tell the people of Kansas just how much you have spent of that enormous contingent fund to enforce the prohibitory law and justify the Increase.' Is it not a fact that you favored certain bills, creating seven new boards, all to be appointed by yourself? That bills to that effect were introduced by your friends in the house, that the committee on ways and means estimated that these new boards of yours would have cost $953,000.00 a year, and but for the firmness of the legislature, driven to rebellion by this ex travagance, your patronage would have been so increased at the expense of the state. Is It not a fact that the election of a state board of railroad commission ers as against an appointive board was long favored by the shippers of Kansas and secured only after a bitter fight and is it not a fact that you proposed and now propose to abolish this elective board and substitute for it a board to be ap pointed bv vou? Is it not a fact that' the house in 1909 passed two bills, one of. which increased tne powers ot tne Doara of railroad commissioners, by giving them control of all pipe lines, telegraph lines, and long distance telephone lines, and the other giving: all cities the right to reg ulate and control their local public utili ties and that these bills were defeated in the senate by your friends, because you wanted a board appointed by yourself to control all these matters? Why were you opposed to the cities regulating their own public utilities? Why are you opposed to A Good Suit Well made, is an asset to a business, man nothing adds quite so much prestige.

It must be apparent to you by this time that a majority of the Republicans in Kansas are not in favor of your re nomination, but you expect to win -with Democratic votes. Tou have boasted openly that for every Republican vote you lost, you would get two Democrats. Are you not aware that the Kansas primary law forbids a Democrat to vote a Repub lican ticket at the primary and that the only way he can do so if challenged, is by committing perjury under the law? Are you inviting perjury at the polls to secure your nomination on the Republican ticket with Democratic votes?
