EVERYBODY EVERYBODY 12 PAGES NEEDS IT. 12 PAGES L LAST EDITION. FRIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, AUGUST 12, 1910. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. J READSIT. J WENDLIMLANDS. The Man Accused of Murdering Alma Kellner Is Back in Louisville, the Scene of the Crime. IS ALREADY INDICTED. Officers Have Covered 13,000 Miles in the Chase. No Attempt at Mob Tiolence on His Arrival. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 12. Joseph Wendling wanted here on the charge of jnurdering Alma Kellner, was placed in the city hall here this morning after a remarkable chase across the continent ar.d an almost equ.illy remarkade re turr. in charge of Captain John P. Car ney, chief of the Louisville detective department. Wendling had no sooner been ushered into the chief of police's loom than he took a position in one of the large windows and busied himself by whistling ai,d waving his hand to the crowd which had gathered in the street below. Hi3 everlasting smile was much in evidence. Wendling touched Kentucky soil shortly afier S o'clock this morning for the first time in many months. lie and his captor took a train at Bvansville, Ind., about 3 o'clock. Handcuffed to gether Captain Carney and his man occupied the drawing room on the Ev ansville sleeper. The train was an hour late when it pulled into the Union de pot. A large sized, but orderly, crowd was kept in boinds by plenty of po !ice nr.J when Wcndiing was hurried from the car to an automobile, there was no demonstration. It has not yet been announced when .Wendling will be presented in police court. In all probability there will be one or two continuances granted and he will likely be held to answer to the criminal court. He has already been indicted by the grand jury on a oharge cf murder. The bringing of Wendling to Louisville, marks the -end of one of the longest chases in detective history. The return trip from San Francisco to Louisville stretches the real hunt of about 11,000 milts to- a total of over 13, tiOO miles. Not until May "0. the date that the mutilated body of Alma Kellner was found In a cellar beneath St. John's parochial school was Wendling con nected with the disappearance of the child. It was believed that she hart been kidnaped. Numerous letters were re ceived by the Kellner family and Frank Fehr. a wealthy brewer and uncle of the girl, demanding ransom for her re turn. Four months previous to the dis covery of the body Wendling had left Louisville quietly, not even letting his wife know thnt he going away. When bloody clothing was found fn Wendllrg's rooms, he was charged with the murder and the wheels of the con tinuous search for Wendling were set in motion. THE SOCIALIST TICKET.

Austin Is Only a Few Votes Ahead of Brown. With the returns in from 103 coun ties Austin is leading for state printer by the narrow margin of 129 votes. The totals give Austin 39,302 and Brown. 39,173. The only counties not reporting are Reno, Cherokee and Pratt. It is known that Brown ran ahead of Austin in Reno, so the coun ties of Pratt and Cherokee will de cide the nomination. Speaking of Cherokee the secretary of state tele phoned the Cherokee clerk today for the returns and received a vague and indefinite reply. The Cherokee peo ple seem to labor under the delusion that all they have to do is to p-et the returns in to Topeka before th"e No vember election. As for Pratt and Reno, they have not yet made any ex cuses. Graves will win over Porter for su preme court by over 600 plurality. WeHt ran far ahead of Graves. No totals have been footed on the vote for governor, but it is understood that Stubbs' majority will be well over 3U.UU0. ine total Kepubllcan vote cast at the primary is not known yet but it probably will exceed 130.000 The vote at the last primary for gov ernor was 1-J.UUU.

New York, Aug. 12. "Barring acci dent. Mayor Gaynor's recovery is prac tically assured." This statement was made this after noon" by the mayor's son, Rufus Gay nor, who said that he had the attend ing physician's assurances to that ef fect. An additional assurance was contain ed in the bulletin given out by Secre tary .Adamson shortly after 1 o'clock. It was timed 1:30 p. m. and read: "The mayor passed a comfortable morning. He is taking nourishment well and is steadily improving. ,fW. J. ARLITZ. "CHART.ES N. DOWD." He Passed a Good Night. New York, Aug. 11. Expressions of encouragement on the part of all the watchers by Mayor William J. Gay nor's bedside, ushered in the fourth day of his fight for recovery. The fol lowing bulletin was issued this morn ing: "Mayor Gaynor passed a very good night. He Blent seven hours. He is comfortable this mornins and in ex cellent general condition. His tem perature is 100; pulse, 70; respiration, 16. "WILLIAM J. ARLITZ, M. D. "CHARLES M. DOWD. M. D." The physicians were not willing to supplement bulletins with even in formal statements as to the patient's condition, evidently assuming that the reassuring tenor of the official an nouncements would be all that was necessary to allay any fears that had found expression late yesterday and last night. It was commented, how ever, that the temperature, pulse and respiration given indicated a practi cally normal condition for the patient and the news brought from the may or's chambers by his lay attendants was of a decidedly cheerful nature. The mayor's secretary, Robert Adamson, coming down shortly after 8 o'clock, said that the mayor had eaten breakfast about 7:45 o'clock with his usual good appetite. Mrs. Gaynor. who had been near her hus band through the Tiight,- again pre pared his mormns coffee. There was no attempt today to leave a vague impression regarding the ra diograph examination made in the search for the bullet. Secretary Adamson commented on the interest the mayor displayed yesterday in the mechanism of the X-rav apparatus, which comment itself indicated clear ly enough that a second set of radio graphs had been taken. These show the presence of the bullet in the vault of the pharynx, or, in other words, in the wall of the throat just beyond the palate. It was generally believed to day that the physicians were in agree ment that there had been no splitting of the missile and that the apparent fragment shown by the first X-ray ex amirration to be separate from the main portion of the bullet was in fact probably a fragment of bone.

'FREE MAKIN'S' cigarette letters Bhould be svritten on IT GROWSjHGGER; McMurray Stood to Mate Nearly $5,000,000 If His Indian Contracts Had Gone Through. SCOTT SHEDS LIGHT. Says the Indians Hare the Ut most Confidence In Vice President Sherman and Senator Curtis. Sulphur, Ok.. Aug. 12. That J. F. Mc- Murray had contracts with the Indians, whioh in the sale of their lands he would receive not only $3,000,000 as at torneys' fees, but agreements calling for $l,50A,00O in other fees, was testified by George W. Scott, before the special congressional investigation committee today. Scott acted as agent for Mo- Scott was regarded as one of the most important witnesses in the in vestigation growing out of Senator Gore's charges that he had been offer ed a bribe to promote the anomval of me contracts in congress. ii an tr.e contracts McMurray held with the Indians were successful: v ex ecuted, Scott testified. McMcrrav would secure almost live million in fees. These were for the sale on a 10 ner cent fee basis of segregated coal and asphalt land valued at J2O.0O0.0C0. unallotted land valued at $10,000,000 and what is kni.wn as leased district land valued at $5,000, 000. All these lands Senator GorA con tends could be sold by the e-wern-m.nt without the employment of paid attor neys. Telling of his relations with McMur ray, Scott said he had visited many or tne Indians in 1909, and had urged them to sign the contracts. Scott him self, a Choctaw, said he had signed the contracts because he believed Mc Murray would have more influence at Washington than did the Oklahoma del. elation to congress. "Did you ever have anv official no- sitlon from which you were released liecause of your relations with McMur ray?" esked Chairman Burke. "Yes, I had been secretary to Green McCurtain. chief of the C-Moctaws and x was asked to resign." Scott testified a telegram had been sent last May to Richard Adams, at torney at Washington, in which Vice President Sherman and Senator Curtis of Kansas were referred to as under standing more than any one else what tne Indians wanted. "Both Mr. Sherman and Mr. Curtis.' said Scott, "long were identified with Indian affairs and we believed'" they know more about us than did one of our congressmen. "Was that the only reason for your referring to Mr. Sherman and Mr. Curtis? Scott was asked. "Yes, we had absolute confidence in their ability to deal with Indian af fairs." Scott denied he ever had received any financial aid from McMurray. He insisted that his interest in the con tracts was based only on his anxiety to get the land sold. He told of inducing the Indians to send telegrams to Washington, urg ing the prompt sale of the land in May last. McMurray was in Washington, urg ing the approval of his contracts and on May 3, three days before Senator Gore says the bribe was offered, Mc Murray telegraphed to Scott in Okla homa: "Looks better, we will win, I know.1 "Now what did you take that to mean?" Scott was asked. "Did you think McMurray was going to get his contracts approved soon?" "Well, it appeared he felt encour aged over the situation at Washing ton." Referring to the contracts, Scott said: "Out of these segregated coal and asphalt lands, the Indians thought they ought to get $50,000,000, but we didn't ask more than $20,000,000. The surplus unallotted land was worth about $15,000,000 and the leased dis trict land perhaps as much. McMur ray was to get 10 per cent of what- fine rice paper. ever, money he got out of it. We be lieved" .McMurray, was in a position to expedite the sale of these lands and that's why J signed the contracts and induced others to sign." ALDRICH SEES TAFT.

Rhode Island Senator Answers Bristow in Detail. A Sweeping Denial Accompanied by Explanations. WAS MADE BY REQUEST Change in Rates on Rubber to Help Collectors. Was of No Interest Whateyer to Him Personally. Washington, Aug. 12. Senator Nel son W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, enumerating the counts under which he was Indicted by Senator Jos. L. Bristow of Kansas in recent campaign speeches dealing with the tariff on rubber, In a letter made public, de nies the charges In the entirety. Incidentally, he pays respects in caustic language to Senator tsnstow and what he terms a "little group of men" which entertain opinions sim ilar to those of the Kansan. The let ter is addressed to W. B. McKinley of Illinois, chairman of the Republican congressional committee, and was sent to the headquarters of the com mittee in this city. The explanation of rubber duties and the denial of the charges made against him by Senator Bristow are based upon the fact that Senator Al drich was called upon by a Republi can candidate for congress to furnish the facts connected with the changes made in the recent tariff act. Referring to the charges made Dy Senator Bristow as "absurd misstate ments," Senator Aldrich said the per sistent reiteration of them impelled him to make a full statement. At the outset of his long letter the sena tor divided the speeches of Mr. Bris tow into five parts, each of which contained a peciflc charge. He then dealt with them in order. In the first place the senator de clared the increase from 30 to 35 per cent on a small number of articles of manufactured rubber articles was for the purpose of making the tariff uniform on kindred articles and facil itating the labors of the customs of ficers. In that connection he made public a letter to him from General Thad S. Sharretts, a members of the New York board of general apprais ers, asserting that the change was ad visable and had been agreed to unani mously by the senate and house com mittees and by the -conferees on the tariff bill at the earnest solicitation of the tariff experts of the treasury de partment. Laying particular stress upon this charge made by Mr. Bris tow, the chairman of the senate finance committee. said that neither he nor any member of his family ever has had any pecuniary interest as to whether the rates on manufactures of rubber were 30, 35 or 300 per cent, or whether crude rubber was on the free or dutiable list. Dealing then with charges that th Intercontinental Rubber company, of which he is adirector, is a trust, that it advanced the price of crude rub ber and controlled the world supply and that the company had paid enormous dividends, Mr. Aldrich treat ed each separately and at great length. Without' raising any issue concern ing the "progressives' campaign gen erally, Mr. Aldrich referred to Mr. Bristow and his immediate associ ates as follows: "In the tariff discussion of other days the advocates of the protective policy usually had been called to meet in debate men with convictions on the subject Democrats of character whose theories of government differed completely from those held by Repub lican protectionists men who had some regard for accuracy of their statements and some knowledge of the subject they discussed. Now attacks upon a president and Republican measures are led by men whose po litical existence depends upon their ca pacityand to this there seems to be ..w nmn iW "'isrepresentatton and ignorance or their adherent Strangely enough, this little group of t"7Tle7 .ffJ1 "umberhas ar- v.,.,v, i naeii me leaaershln of th progressives and its members prate about the treatment of the tariff as a moral question." s The Reply in Full. The letter follows: "Providence. R. I., Aug. 10 loin Hon. William B. McKinley chairman Republican Congressional Commit tee, Washington, D. C: oml"" "Dear Mr. McKinlev: T 1 asked by a Republican candidate for rAntmiaB 4 nn Tilt i k I u uuiraj aistnct to fur nish him the facts with reference to changes in the rubber duties in th tariff act of 1909. ln "The persistent reiteration of the ab surd misstatements of Senator Bristow with reference to the tariff on rubber furnishes such a characteristic Illus tration of the nature of the criticism and. the character of certain critics of the tariff act of 1909 that it seems to me desirable that a full statement cf the facts should be made in response to this inquiry. "Senator Bristow's statements were, as follows: "1 That the senate committee on finance, of which I was chairman, in creased the duty upon certain manu factures of rubber from 30 to 35 per cent. "2 That during the session, or Im mediately .after the adjournment of congress, I, in connection with others, had organized a gigantic rubber trust known as the International Rubber company., in which I was a large stockholder and director. -"3 That this huge rubber trust Im mediately advanced largely the pric of crude rubber, the supply of which it absolutely controls. "4 That this vast rubber monopoly, the Intercontinental Rubber company, was able on account of the changes Irt the tariff referred to to advance anil did rapidly advance the price ot every rubber product,-'from automobile tires to babies' rattles.'

Ensley, loaned by Wichita on the Wright deal, mounted the slab. He passed ten men, struck' out. seven and allowed only eight hits. Shea got into the game behind the bat for the first time, after Brown had almost finished it. In once to the platter he failed to deliver a hit. The Cooleysox left field presented another and yet different appearance at Omaha. Evidently Abbott could not hold the Job, maybe Kerns did not like it. or. perhaps Barber floes like it. Anyway, Barber was the man in the garden Thursday. Have to give it to those "Wichita slab men who handed it to tne ssioux In dians four times out of five.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Love for Indian Maiden Keeps Has keU Player in Kansas. Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 12. Ro mance is strong in the minds of the Indian boy and eirl students at Has kell institute, and romance is respon sible for the fact that the Haskell football team will go into its schedule this fall engineered by the heady lit tle "Gugu" Nevitt, last year's star quarterback. Nevitt had a flattering offer last week to play on the Carlisle team the coming season. it is said the only reason he refused to leave the Kansas school and take up with the eastern offer is the presence of an Indian maiden at Haskell whom, he particularly admires. "Pete" Hauser, a former star Has kell player years and years ago. Is the captain of the Carlisle eleven this year. Last week "Pete" came to Lawrence, ostensibly for a visit with his old friends. Hauser thought of Nevitt and came to Kansas to get him. What offer he made to Nevitt is not known but it was announced today that Nev itt has decided to stay in Kansas. His friends say that his romance Is all tnat saved him to Haskell. The Indian rooters are returning thanks that their school Is co-educational. Oklahoma City. Okla., Aug. 12.

Justice Porter Offers Service to State Committee. Captain Joseph G. Waters of Topeka will make the dedicatory address at Osawatomie August 30, the date of the anniversary of the famous battle. The next day Colonel Roosevelt will be present and deliver an address on that historic spot. The captain had dinner down town today with a party of friends and the talk naturally drifted to the Osawatomie celebration and the speech that the. captain was to make there. "Never mind my speech," said Capt. Waters, "let us discuss the talk that T. R. will make the day follow ing. I see from the dispatches that he has sent for Pinchot to post up on conservation and irrigation subjects." "Do you think, captain, that he will talk about these things in John Brown's town?" asked a guest. "Sure he will," replied the captain, "else why should he have Pinchot with him. He Is working on his speech today and I am working on mine. But. gentlemen, what will the people of Miami county say when th'i colonel begins to tell them about con servation of forests and minerals 'which the;- have not. and about the Irrigation problem when their fields re flooded every spring by the waters from three rivers?" The captain's remark furnishes food The clear-headed 'active man Weaves brains Into his daily work. This means daily waste Of brain tissue which must be Replaced by new material Prop:r food necessary For this replacement. This is life Tear down to build up better. Grape-Nuts food.contains The rebuilding elements of Wheat and barley, and At the same time requires Little effort on the part of The digestive organs To appropriate it.

The colonel, who always hits the nail on the head in his speeches from Egypt to Paris, and from Newfoundland to the Pacific slope, may meet his Waterloo at Osa watomie. Imagine his sonorous ac cents rising In the classic halls of the Sarbonne, while, he tells of the neces sity for conservation of resources anj the advantage of Irrigation. What will the farmers in his audi ence say when they think of the events of a few short months ago when their fat corn fields were covered by the turgid flood of the Marais des Cygnes, which had joined hands with the overflew. .from the Osage and the Pottawatomie rivers arid flowed re sistless to the sea? The toil they lost and the spoil they lost, and the work of their horses and hands. They will say that the colonel does not under stand and they will know that he never could understand when they hear him talk of dams and reservoirs and little ditches to be dug across waterless plains and arid fields. Some one ought to warn the colonel tr the danger that threatens his west ern trip in the beginning. He should talk of John Brown and John only while at Osawatomie. The colonel is a great historian and has won fame also as an orator and an author. He could conjure up from the past all the events of the battle of Osawatomie until his audience could fairly see the stern faced abolitionist and his tatter demalions while they won immortal fame that day with their old flintlocks and their dauntless courage. But no, he is sitting up with Pinchot and post ing himself in regard to conservation and irrigation. He is coming to a county of farms and orchards to tell the people about their natural re sources. He is coming to the land i.f floods to tell the people how to irrigate their farms. If the colonel will look from his car window as the train enters Miami county he will still be able to see the traces of the floods. The Marais des Cygnes left its mark on the fences on the high ground and drew a flood line half way up the side of the biggest barns. The Osage flowed miles wide to the gulf and its waters lapped the feet of the hills and carried away the farmers' corn and wheat and pigs and cows and chickens. The Pottawatomie left its channel and spent a week in the rich fields of the bottoms where the corn was estimated at 65 bushels to the acre. And a few months later along comes T. R. and speaks like an oracle about the needs of Irrigation. This will be a delightful bit of Irony to every one but the farmers who furnished food for the spring flootts. Who will save the day by telling the colonel about the overflow of the Nile in Miami county? Who will tell him about the absence of minerals and forests In this Kansas corn country? The thousands who will assemble at Osawatomie want to hear about the death of the first lion, the sensations at Napoleon's tomb, the story of John Brown over again, the status of the administration, the truth about the Payne tariff bill, the return from Elba, the attitude of the distinguished guest on the faction within his party. If T. R. digs an Irrigation ditch he will fall in his own trap. If he saves the forests he will get lost in their leafv shades. Wh will tell the colo nel that they build Noah's arks in the valley of the Cygnes. using all the cottonwood trees in sight for material, and that therefore conservation of trees is not practical, and irrigation ditches have already been dug across the land by the raging waters of three rivers? Some brave person is in line for a Carnegie medal. .Who will it be? The first thing that Justice Silas Por ter did when the election returns indi cated beyond a doubt that he had been beaten for a place on the ticket for re nomination was to go to J. N. Dolley, chairman of the state committee, and offer his services as a speaker in the fall campaign. As a judge, a. Repub lican and a citizen the judge ranks very high. With the returns 100 out of the 105 counties of the state totaled It Is rlain that West and Graves wit! be the nominees of the party for th4 su treme court and that Austin will be the candidate for state printer.

The secretary of state will not be able to flniBh up the tax tabulation of the vote before Saturday night. The statement of William Allen White made yesterday In reply to the charge that he was trying to get out ii independent candidate agair,3t Phil Campbell in the Third district,; will set at rest anv doubt as to where the square dealers stand on the stand pat candidates on the Repub'ican ticket next fall. They realize that there is only one thing to do, and that is to work for the entire Republican ticket. Anthony and Campbell will have the same support fr-ni St-.ihls and Dolley that Mitchell ard Jackson will have in the fall campaign, according to the talk around square deal headquarters this week. SHOWERS OF FIRE. Burning Limbs of Trees Falling in Towns of Idaho. Wallace. Idaho. Aug. 12. With cin ders, ashes and even the timber of trees falling in the towns of the Coeur d'Alene, citizens of Wallace, Mullan and Burke yesterday felt the first real apprehension of danger from forest fires. Two awnings caught fire in Wallace from cinders and the citizens generally are taking precaution to wet their roofs and the "exposed outbuild ings thoroughly. Mullan reports that Are from Rock Creek, three miles distant, under a strong wind, carried limbs of trees a foot and a half long and still burning. Into the town. The fire department was called out and all buildings drenched. The smoke was so dense that the electric lights had to be turn ed on at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The fire broke into the Placer Creek basin, three, and a half miles from Wallace, in the afternoon and the dense smoke floated into the valley bearing ashes and cinders. Many citizens went out last night to see the fire which is burning near the Hord ranch on the opposite side of the gulch. The flames are burning away from the direction of the city. HIS DAY IN DENVER. Program for Roosevelt's Visit to the Colorado Capital. Denver. Aug. 12. The program for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's visit to Den ver August 29. has been announced. Colonel Roosevelt will arrive at 10:30 a. m., Monday, August 29, on a special train from Cheyenne. He will be met at the union depot by representatives of the state and citv, the Live Stock association and the Spanish war veterans. Following a parade, the former president will be the guest of the Denver Press club at a cowbov luncheon at Overland park. At 2:30 o'clock he will address a public meeting under the auspices of the Colo rado Live Stock association at the audi- 'TtT'o'clock he will address the Spanish war veterans at the auditorium. At 6:30 o'clock he will be the guest of honor at a "round up" dinner at El Jebel Temple. Colonel Roosevelt will leave here for Kansas City the next morning. A $600 Pipe Seized. New York. Aug. 12. A meerschaum .pipe of marvelous proportions hiis been added to Uncle Sam's assortment of collection of customs seizures at tht appraiser's stoies here. It was seized by a vigilant watchman on a Brooklyn pier. He said in his report that he had detected a steamship employe at tempting to take it ashore under his coat. Tl-e nipe is about six feet long with a bowl a foot high. Experts declare that its value is about 00. The steamship employe told the customs men that he paid S3 for it. Se J.

PAKSONS .KNEW HIM. Salina Man Says Fighter Was Wounded. Movement on Foot to Have Veteran at Reunion. Mrs. Jennie Weber, 511 Tyler street, Topeka, this morning called attention to the fact that D. W. Collis, living at Santa Monica. Calif., claims to be a survivor of the John Brown ficht at osawatomie. She showed a cliDDiner from th. T.. Angeles Express, also letters bearing on nis claim. The newspaper clipping reads as follows: "No man knows the song that con cludes, 'While his soul goes marching on,' as does Daniel W. Collis of 844 Fifth street, who believes he is the sole survivor of the battle of Osawat omie, Kan., where John Brown was the moving spirit and derived the nick name 'Osawatomie Brown.' "It was in 1859 that the free soil and slave soil forces fought at Osawatomie. Mr. Collis, who is now 83 years old, was a neighbor of Brown and his com rade in hatred for slavery. His many years, a wound received at Osawatomie and later service in the civil war have still left Mr. Collis with surprising vig or.

While there I met Mr. Collis, an old soldier, whose acquaintance I first made in Washing ton some years ago. He told me of you and of having corresponded with you and I there conceived of the idea I now want to give to you., r As you know, he is one of the three survivors of the Osawatomie mas sacre and certainly he is one of the most interesting old men you ever met He will be 85 years old his next birth day, although he is very active.

William J. Gaynor's entire career has been one long battle for clean government. His reward is a bullet in the neck that may end his life. This Is a strange world. The "good" people will insist that the deluge which recently did consid erable damage at Reno, Nev., and the ynore recent fire there which destroyed a. big mining plant, are merely in stances of retributive Justice. Most of the talk indulged in by per sons is uncalled for. Take the recent remark of a California widow who is possessed of millions of dollars worth of property. She said she would not think of marrying for money. If the thousands of Punjabs, Mo hammedans and Sikhs, of India, who are on their way to this country, are admitted those classes of the yellow races of the Orient who are excluded will have more cause to complain than ever. Texas Democrats have endorsed United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 1912. A few words from Mr. Bryan are in order. Nor need they be expected to be mild cnes. Commenting on the learned editorial In the Richmond Times-Democrat on The Status of the Dog." the Chicago Tribune casually but pointedly re marks: "Probably not a dog in all the country realizes fully that it has a status. If the returns of the votes cast on .primary day do not come in a little more rapidly it will be necessary to postpone election day, so that ballots "with the names of the successful can didates for several nominations can be (printed. A reading of the testimony that is being given by the Indians before the congressional committee investigating Indian land affairs ought to convince every one that "Lo, the poor Indian," 4s indeed an appropriate expression. They have ever been easy picking for heir white brethren who have been 'so Interested" in their civilization. Another electric railroad line is be ing projected between Kansas City and fTopeka. So many of these roads have been put on paper that the number of them have been lost track of. The people along these proposed lines would be better pleased if one of the many companies in the field would be gin the active work of building a road. President McCrea, of the great Pennsylvania railroad system, is of the opinion that everything in the country Is in a pretty satisfactory condition and the prospects for fall business good. And an opinion of this sort from a man of Mr. McCrea's standing ought to counterbalance the pratings of all the pessimists on the other side of the question. Anybody who formed the idea that the Topeka ball team was going through the season without making an lnsurpassable record haa been badly fooled. No hits, no runs, only one man reaching first base and no errors all in one game is a record that it is go ing to be pretty difficult for any team to equal, even among the teams in the major leagues. As commander-in-chief of the army and navy of Kansas, Governor Stubbs, as is his wont In all things, has an or iginal Idea for the maintenance of military discipline. He has ordered that any officer or enlisted man, who Is found Intoxicated or using intoxi cating liquor at the Joint camp of In struction to be held at Port Riley, shall be sent home forthwith. Usually soldier or officer who becomes intoxi cated while on duty or who breaks camp rules by using intoxicating bev erages Is court-martialed and properly Dunlshed for conduct unbecoming an nicer. But Commander-in-Chief Stubbs thinks It would be better to send such an Individual borne to his mamma. So be it. DOWN WITH GUN TOTINV As a result of the attempted assas sination of Mayor Gaynor a movement is already under way for the adoption by the board of aldermen of New Tork city of an ordinance which will compel all persons owning or carry firearms to obtain a license. All deal ers, manufacturers and buyers of these death dealing weapons will be compelled to do the same. Nor would it be a bad plan if state legislatures or local "legislative bodies all over the country txk action along the same lines. Much of the crime and violence which is committed here can be traced to the easy access which the criminal and all other classes have to revolvers. Any man or woman, and even minors, can possess him or herself of a gun in any part of the country, if he has the price of one. The days when it was necessary to carry a gun, if they ever existed, are long since passed in this country. Most states and most com munities now have statutes against the carry!-- of concealed weapons. But they are dead letters because it is almost impossible to enforce them. What is needed is a control and regu lation by public authority of the sale and purchase of such weapons, and a sufficiently stringent regulation which will prevent them from getting Into tha hands of irreeponsibles. Some people go so far as to insist that the public sale and use of re volvers should be prohibited absolute ly. Judge George C. Holt, of the United States federal court In a New York Jurisdiction, is one of them. He thinks it would be entirely Justifiable for governments to prohibit the manu facture or sale of any pistols in this country except in national armories for the use of the military and the police. There is another lesson to be learned from the assault on Judge Gaynor and the ones which have gone before it on some of the most famous men that this country has produced. This is that the lax administration of crim inal Justice in this country is re sponsible for much of the crime which Is being perpetrated in most of its parts every day. The "rights" of criminals have been so ridiculously "safeguarded" in this land of liberty that the punishment for crime has be- come ineffectual and inefficient. This condition of affairs encourages the mentally deficient and those of crim- inal tendencies to follow their fancies, either in the pursuit of getting a liv ing by "fair" means or foul, or in at tempting to get revenge for real or fancied grievances with their own hands. It's about time that these sev eral United States waked up to the fact that society can only be properly protected by a prompt and efficacious punishment of its criminals, and it doesn't matter whether they be those on murder bent, or those "higher-up" v.ho are guilty of wrong-doing in the world of trade. COMMERCE AND THE LAW. "Modern business, organized in the large way, minimizing the waste of competition, using consolidated capital and employing armies of workmen, must be allowed to proceed upon its course, but It must be kept amenable to the authority of law and govern ment," writes Dr. Albert Shaw in the American Review of Reviews for Au gust. "Its operations are upon the na tional and international scale, and ought not to be hampered by the con flicting rules of fifty different states. Commerce is a national affair, and the spirit of the constitution is all against local restrictions upon transportation and the larger industry. The business of the country is awaiting the broad. full decisions that ought to be handed down in the determination of the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases. The Sherman anti-trust law, with all the curious meanings that the lower courts have read into it, is not a law of the Medes and Persians. If the supreme court finds that under that law almost every sort of business combination or agreement is criminal, then the business interests of the country will do what they can to secure the repeal or amendment of a mischievous law that is not in keeping with necessary busi ness progress. The inevitable trend is towards some kind of federal incor poration law, with the nation's over sight and protection of large indus trial enterprises. As regards transpor tation companies, the trend is shown in the new rate law, which increases the supervisory authority of the na tional government and which will eventually be followed by a frank legalizing of all agreements and com binations that will help to harmonize and perfect the working of the coun try's railroad system as a whole. In the process of working out the neces sary readjustments between the gov ernmental world and the business world, the supreme court has a very Important part to play. This process will require a number of years and the court will need the best brain and ef fort that such men as Governor Hughes can bring to it." PAVING AND DUST LAYING. So much attention is being properly devoted to the betterment of the roads In this country today that it ought to be interesting to learn of the activities in this line in other nations. A. M. Thackare, United States consul general at Berlin, furnishes the following in formation concerning recent t experi ments in Germany in street "id high way pavements: The best pavement for automobile traffic in cities is said to be the im pregnated wood-block pavement, be cause it does not wear out automobile tires so quickly, is much freer from dust, and much more susceptible to the influence of duet-binding and dust settling agents, which are also more permanent in the case of wo XI -block pavement. This class of pavement is, however, used only in the approaches to bridges and on the bridges them selves, to lessen the Jar and give better footing to horses. Asphalt is still con sidered the best all-around pavement for heavy traffic. Some of the more prominent country highways are con structed of a layer of heavier stones. on- top of which there is placed a nuosaio layer of small .tones ot about 3-inch cubic dimensions, which aro set into a layer of sand placed upon the larger stones. The a-lvantago of this highway is that it is not so dusty ana Is much more easily kept clean. It also stands the wear and tear of heavy traffic better than a macadamized rood, but it is also more expensive. Various experiments have been made in different parts of Germany with the tarring of roads to prevent d-.ist and to keep the road in better condition. An experimental contest between four prom inent German companies was held last August on the prominent Havel Chaus Ece to the southwest of Berlin, which is being watched and studied in expert and official circles here. The heated tar waa spread on the Chaussee by means of machines and also by labor ers, and then covered with a thin layer of sand. The laborers were protective ly clothed for this work. No official de cision or opinion has aa yet been given as to which system is the best, and the parts of the Chaussee tarred by the different companies are still mark ed off and open to inspection. In binding the dust on the street pave ments, experiments have been made in various parts of Berlin with a particu lar preparation, and according to offi cial report a sprinkling with a 1 to 100 solution of this preparation and water, by means of ordinary street sprinklers, successfully kept the dust bound, even in the streets with the largest traffic, for four to live weeks. The cost per square meter (1,196 yards) for six oil solution sprinklings a year was less than one-seventh of the average annual cost for sprinkling with water alone. One vital disadvantage of this prepara tion Is the fact that it is said to tend to make the pavements slippery, and thus caustj horses to fall and be in jured. JOURNAL ENTRIES Popular estimate of an individual is likely to be almost entirely wrong. The future is fraught with wonderful possibilities but a happy, well-spent past is a satisfying thing. Almost any kind of entertainment is exceedingly enjoyable if some one else is footing the bills for it. Were every man as smart as he thinks he is the genus homo would be a re markably brilliant aggregation. If a husband wants to get in the good graces of his wife let-him admit he is in the wrong after an argument has been under way for a short time. JAYUA WKER JOTS Noting that the proprietor of the Ladies Home Journal has been mar ried, the Hutchinson News thinks that in the future he will not be so sure he knows everything. "My wife and I compromised our quarrel this morning." reported Peter Doubt to the Minneapolis Messenger, the other day. "That is to say, I ca pitulated." A wise man is Pete. It occurs to the Independence Star that "when the weather is too hot to work. It is too hot to loaf; and a good way to forget the sultryness is to keep pegging away." But suppose you are not a shoemaker? Last evening, says the Globe, an Atchison young man went walking with a girl, and they sat down on the schoolhouse steps. A man who had been following them came up and stood within fifteen feet for an hour. Finally, the man' who had been sitting with the girl, went up to the- watcher, and said: "You are very patient; take my place I am going home." There once lived a woman, relates the Atchison Globe, who wanted to read and become Very Learned. But babies came, as they sometimes will, and, with their usual disregard for High Ambitions, they bothered their mother so that she couldn't read,- and. if she picked up a Deep Book when they were asleep, her mind wandered off to pinning blankets and colic rem edies. She decided that, she would become learned when they were grown, and this little story is told now because they are all grown and gone and she hasn't yet become Learned. She is so lonesome that she can't read. She picks up Learned books, and gets out a pencil, and chews off the point, not being able to find a knife, and Gets Ready to be Learned when the terrible silence of the house comes creeping up to her, and oppresses and overcomes her, and she throws down her Deep book, her notebook and chewed pencil, and flees. This explains, also, what becomes of the ambition of many women to whom babies come. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Ever remark how sheepish a man looks coming out of a doctor's offlce? It Is a mighty short distance between a winning hand and the discard. One of the easiest things on earth Is to lay all the blame on the other fel low. A broken down man trying In vain to "come back" is as sad a sight as a broken down tombstone. Every automobile owner loves to tell how he lately took a ride In a buggy, and how slow it seemed! Women like to say this: "The only thing a man.cannot forgive in his wife is her mental superiority." Nearly every woman looks at a strange man as if td say: "Don't you attempt to flirt with me, you wretch!" After a man gets about so old, this may frequently be heard: "Let me see. what became of him? Did he die?" If there should be a law to hang everyone who talked too much, there wouldn't be enough left to wash the dishes. A woman, who owns an aut-jmcbile. greatly enjoys taking her poor kin out, at first, but finally becomes mighty tired of it. There is one thing no iron or wo man ever realize: That a compliment ipaid to their good looks is true only six months, and not until death. The women go to a great deal ot trouble at tois time of the vear In mixing up a yellow sort of gravy to pour over the tomato, and spoil it. A town man's Idea, of a mean dis position la that of a farmer who ob jects to hunters coming on his place end shooting up his Holsteln calves. There is no more prospect of settling the row between employee and employ er than there is of settling the row be tween husbands and wives. "Is there as future life I don't Vnow. I can only act on my Judgment. And I may be wrong; I am wrong about most things."

Will the municipal laundry succeed Do not believe that it depends solely upon the municipality. Maybe the housewives of the North side will not resort to it. They will .undoubtedly. If they can wash their clothes in the public place and then carry them home to dry. But will they if they must hang their garments on the mu nicipal hickory limb for others who go near the water to view? Experi ence In other cities indicates that those who need the laundry equipment most will not use the municipal clothes line, however much they might wish to use the municipal tub.

Kansas City Star. FROM OTHER PENS THE INHERITANCE TAX. In these times of swollen fortunes it is possible for men to accumulate enor mous possessions arid enjoy, the pleas i res thereof wtthoutAcarrylng a fair share of the "tax b&rden. Real esiate cannot escape and certain other forms of property pay their lawful portion, but it is practicable for the owner of millions to receive their earnings throughout his life without contributing- directly either to the state or local revenues, and then to hand his for tvne down to somebodv else intact and untaxed. Meanwhile such a man has the benefits of peace and order, of safe ty and protection, and of all that civ ilized government implies. Of course, instances ot complete tax evasion are rare, and possibly in themselves not of sufficient importance to attack by leg islation, but the practice of dodging in Irt is scandalously common nnd no laws have yet been devised that will entirely overcome it. But such states as havs the direct inheritance tax eventually make every man or woman of means settle in some measure, since when estates are transferred after death there can be no evasion, and Ju&t to the extent that revenues are thus de rived may the general tax burden be lightened. Besides, a direct inheritance tax has a tendency to encourage the apportionment of unusually large es tates or fortunes here again, to be sure, to escape the tax gatherer and such a division works for the general good. Pittsburg Gazette-Times. CHINESE FINESSE. The general comment that the expres sion of Chinese agreement to the Russo Japanese treaty settles any dispute over the matter, is based on the bare statement that ti ch an assent has been conveyed. It has been for sometime the well-founded belief that what China wishes about Manchuria, of which she is the titular sovereign, makes no dif ference to the powers that have their grip on that territory. But the Chinese government in its reply exhibited the calm elusiveness which makes its acceptance of the ine vitable for the present- cover its res ervation of the rights that she may claim in the future. In other words, she accepts the treaty specifying that it reaffirms the provisions of the treaty of Portsmouth. When it is recalled that this treaty conformed to China "entire ly and completely the exclusive admin istration of ail parts of Manchuria." excepting the territory comprised with in the lease of the Liao-Tung penin sula, it is plain that this provision certainly cannot hamper China's right to occupy the territory and construct railroads thro-.igh the other parts of that country.

(By Clarissa Mackie.) Mrs. Moore packed the luncheon baskets with skilled rapidity. "Ready?" called her sister, Char lotte Owen, flying down the stairs. Yes, dear. Has Peter brought the car around?" "He's coming now, Ruth. I'll send him in for the baskets." Charlotte dropped her burden into the hands of the chauffeur on the veranda and Joined the party of young people assembled there. At the foot of the steps stood the large seven passenger car which would have to make two trips to con vey the party of a round dozen to Mosey Dell, ten miles distant. The first load bore Mr. and Mrs. Moore, the host and hostess of the occasion, her sister Charlotte and the other girls. Mr. Moore and the men waved a good-bye to the fluttering handker chiefs that disappeared down the long driveway. Dick Fletcher watched Charlotte's pale blue chiffon veil rather wistfully until the bending trees hid the car from view. Mosey Dell, cupped in the hollow of the deep hills, lay cool and shaded among the pines and chestnuts. A waterfall dropped musically from dripping rocks and gurgled away in a brown brook bordered by fragrant mint and wild forget-me-nots. The girls scattered among the trees while the automobile whirled back to Sunnybank for the men. Mrs. Moore busied herself with the tea basket, for the maids had been given a holiday and she had preferred to assume the preparation of the feast. Charlotte Joined her, unusually grave and silent for one so merry. Under a large nine the sisters made their kitchen, ar ranging spirit lamp and tea kettle in readiness for the meal. Charlotte had pulled out the tea caddy and sat dreamily regarding her own sweet reflection in its polished sliver service. Mrs. Moore watched her covertly. At last she spoke: "Were you surprised at Dick'a ar rival, Lotte?" The girl started. "Rather how did It happen, Ruth "Jack met him in town the other day he mentioned the picnic and in vited Dick; I hardly thought he'd come after the way you had treated him." Mrs. Moore's manner was re proachful. "Treated him!" echoed Charlotte, indignantly. "Why, Ruth, do you really believe it is -ill-using a man to refuse his offer of marriage If one doesn't care?" "I don't see how you can help car ing, Lotte Dick is one of the finest fellows in the world." "Yet you married Jack Moore how did you escape Dick Fletcher's fascinations?" she queried. Ruth emerged from the basket with wide opened eyes. "Of course Dick had no attraction for me, child I was in love with Jack! It is differ ent with you you don't care for any body else and "How do you know?" Interrupted Charlotte, quietly. "Lotte Owen are you still in love with that that yokel, Joel Crane? That tow-headed, awkward, freckly country bumpkin? I am surprised." Charlotte arose and leaned against the pine tree, looking very fair and young and slender in her pale blue gown with the sunshine turning her hair into a thousand tints of bronze and 'copper. The rose had faded from her face, leaving it white. What if I am?" she asked In re ply. "But, Lotte, you can't marry him! Would you spend your whole life down here buried on that little farm? When have you seen him? I sup posed you had forgotten all that rub bish about his saving your life years ago." "I haven't seen him for ten years," confessed Charlotte. Ruth Moore laughed. "You silly, romantic thing! He's probably mar ried long ago and forgotten all about you. We'll motor around by that little farm when we return and you shall see all the tow-headed children, chickens and pigs! I believe you're merely Joking, Lotte, after all! Who would 'look -at Joel Crane after know ing that Dick Fletcher, handsome, rich, charming wanted to marry one?" "Ruth, did you invite Dick down purposely?" demanded Charlotte. "I did, Lotte, and I think you're an ungrateful -goose not to take ad vantage of such an opportunity; Dick would buy the Cedars, that charming place next to Sunnyside and But. Charlotte- had vanished around the trunk of the tree and Ruth's in dignant glance followed her flitting among the brown pine trunks until the pale blue gown disappeared be yond the waterfall. Then she turned to welcome the coming automobile with its gay party, and vainly tried to think of some reasonable explanation of Charlotte's disappearance. Charlotte clambered up the steep rocks moist with spray from the fall ing water. Up here In the higher woods there flowed the deep, swift stream that dropped over the rocky brink to form the waterfall below. Charlotte went elong the brink until she came to a curve in the bank that formed a dark deep pool that seemed, apart from the hurrying stream. On a large, slippery rock above the pool Charlotte sat down, -dreamily watching the rippling brook. As she dreamed the wild rose flush .came back to her cheeks.. She saw another summer day In deed today was its anniversary. She was sixteen and she stole away from Sunnyside, which had been her fath er's house, and came to fieh in the dark pool for the monster trout. She had been an ardent fisherwoman then, and a skillful angler. Heart free, care-free, she had gone about her fishing that day; perched on the slippery rock she had cast her fly, the pole dipped and then straightened up as she wound the reel. The big trout dashed out Into the stream with startling suddenness;, in another instant the pole flew .from Charlotte's clinging' hands and she" slid swiftly down into the dark pool. She was conscious of sinking to some dreadful depth", there was a "drum ming in her ears and that was all. When she awoke she was lying on the mossy bank gasping .for breath, while over her leaned an awkward country youth, homely enough, but with" a world of anxiety in his big brown eyes. He was quite as wet; and dripping as she, and Charlotte did not have to guess that he had saved her life. He carried her home through the woods to Sunnyside; cutting across through devious ways and taking narrow woodland trails that reduced the ten miles to five. She recalled his angry flush -as he turned away from the money her father had thoughtlessly produced, and she was glad to remain -his debtor. Ruth had laughed at his country ways after the first fright was over. Afterward Charlotte had met- Joel Crane several times by the trout stream; their intimacy grew into friendship and love in the course of a few brief weeks. Then Mr. Owen had discovered it and Charlotte was hustled away to Europe. Charlotte had waited. Once each year she managed to get down to Sun nyside at this season and the anni versary of the day he had saved her life always found her at the rendez vous. No other man had attracted her, though Ruth had endeavored to secure for her sister a brilliant marriage. But the young girl, free now to choose where she would, still clung to her old love, though there was little to foster It save memories, for she had never seen or heard of Joel Crane since that distant day, yet the very memory of him thrilled her. She heard her name called by dif ferent members of the picnic party which she would gladly have avoided on this anniversary of hers, but Ruth had unluckily chosen the day for her picnic. Later she would go down and Join them now, she must dream awhile. A man came swiftly along the bank looking with eager eyes at the rock above the deep pool. Tall and strong, with the litheness of the panther in his step he was one of those who had been born to woodlands and forest solitudes. Under the soft felt hat his hair straggled flaxen In the sunshine. He wore a rough flannel suit and high boots;- in his hand was rod and reel. He paused and looked at the girl with tender eyes aglow; he saw the wistful smile that parted her Hps. With a slight exclamation he was be side her. "I have come back," he said ab ruptly. His hand reached out and caught Charlotte as. startled, she lost her balance and would have fallen into the pool. "The second time!" she cried ner vously as he helped her to the ground. "Were you waiting for me. Char lotte?" he asked after a little pause. She nodded, her eyes turned away from his. He drew nearer and spoke. He told her of his life in the West; of his success In his chosen work; how he was on the way to richs; now, he was well-to-do; he had come back to see if she was waiting for him. When he had concluded he had har in his arms and their waiting had its re ward. Later Charlotte, transformed with happiness, appeared. Ruth plucked at her sister's skirts as she passed and drew ner down. "Honey," she whispered, "I've made a horrible blunder! It seems Dick Fletcher haa been engaged to marry one of the Scott twins for several months: Bell, it is!" "I don't care if he marries 'em both." said Charlotte recklessly.- "But I feel like a fool, Lotte," said her Bister distressfully. "You see. I sort of hinted to some of the girls that Dick was er you know!" Charlotte looked thoughtfully down at a little ring woven of sweet grass that circled her engagement finger. "If it will afford you any comfort, Ruth," she whispered, "you 'may an nounce my engagement to Joel Crane who is growing to be a lumber mag nate! I hope that will satisfy your ambition for me!" (Copyrighted. 1910 by Associated Literary Press.) To Snap the Jaguar Fishing. Charles W. Fitzgerald, naturalist and explorer, who believes that the story of the Jaguar fishing with its tail is not a nature fake, sailed yesterday by the Royal Mall liner Atrato for Trinidad to prove his faith by moving pictures and photographs. He has two motorboats, painted green to corres pond in a measure with the Jungles that he expects to go through on the tropical Orinoco. He -will cover the smaller of these boats, a 16-footer of five horsepower, with brush and leaves and wait on the side of the stream where he knows the Jaguar will ap pear. He is accompanied by two stu dents, one from Boston and the other from this city, and they will help work the cameras. Mr. Fitzgerald says he has seen a Jaguar fish. It lets its tail drag In the water a bit and waits for a fish to ap pear. Then it wriggles the tall and the fish bites. The Jaguar turns swift ly and harpoons the fish with a claw. Mr. Fitzgerald says he will do no hunting with the rifle, but hie party will be equipped with several rifles, and will destroy life only for self-protection. He expects to get other good pictures of wild animal life on the Ori noco, including some of the marvel ous snakes and alligators .for which the river is famed in books. He would not be surprised If he got a snapshot or moving picture photographs of a combat between a 'gator and a boa constrictor like the famous one cele brated in blank verse by an American poet. New York Sun. Mrs. Roosevelt's Tact. People who followed the stories of the Roosevelt family's travels in Africa and Europe will have taken note of the modesty, the uniform ex cellent taste and good sense which marked Mrs. Roosevelt's part in the ceremonies of which her famous hus band was the center. Mrs. Roosevelt's name appeared little in the news papers; she attracted just as little at tention as possible to herself, and she succeeded In enlisting the sympathetic co-operation of the American corre spondents in keeping her in the back ground. Mrs. Roosevelt's social skill, never showed to better advantage than during this tour. She managed always to avoid either -the extreme self-effacement or any nndue assump tion that the distinctions showered upon Colonel Roosevelt were intended for anybody else than him. Success.

Chicago Aug. 12. Passengers travel' ivg over many of the leading railroad systems soon may be entertained", ta rout? by dissertations from the con ductors and other train employees on the advantages to be derived from al lowing the reads to advance freight rates if the advice of prominent rail way executives to their employees is followed. Strong efforts are being made to en list the efforts of the rank and file of railroad men in the rate propaganda. In a pamphlet just circulated among the 40,000 employees of the Illinois Central ty Vice President W. L. Park an ap peal was made to the employees to study the railroad question and discuss it among themselves until thev are thoroughly conversant with the actual conditions from the financial viewpoint. Having done this each employee was urged to try to convert during the tourse of a year three or four men who are now opposed to the railroads. Conductors Can Make Converts. "The cor duotor can make a friend quite frequently of an entire stranger by shewing him a little extra atten tion," Mr. Park declared, and he added that this was quite true also of the agent and station employees who daily come Into contact with the public. In addition to other such pamphlets circulated by the roads many railroad presidents are making use of the col umrs of the various employees' maga zines maintained by the larger railroad systems to convey their rate argu ments and the employees are urged to circulate the Ideas expressed. The latest argument of this kind is a brief article from the pen of B. L. Winchell, president of the Frisco sys tem, which occupies the first page of the Frisco Man for August, just Is sued. Mr. Winchell takes the position that If the roads increased their unit .prices for transportation they could employ more men. Incidentally, he criticises some cf the figures used by shippers. B. li. WlncheU's Argument. "Think this over," he urges. "It may interest the business men If you tell them that, the railroads had 169,000 fewer men on the pay roll in 1909 than In 1907. They surely want these 169, 000 men to earn and spend money. "Some of our friends do n-t use fig ures fairly, but most of them do not mean to be unfair; they don't know or don't think, v A good deal has been said about ne 'enormous Increase' in ''net earnings of the railroads for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1909. it is widely t'tated that the increase was over 93 million dollars, without any further facts. "Ask the next man who mentions this fact if he knows that the compari ton was made with the figures of the poverty stricken year 1908; ask him if he knows that compared with the year 1907, there was an actual decrease in net earnings of more than 13 millions, and that but for the actual retrench ment of expenses resulting in r.o work for some and In lesFened work for oth ers, clo-?irg of shops, decreased pur chase of rails and ballast, etc., the de crease, compared with 1907. would have been a great deal more serious. The operating expenses of the roads were, decreased 5133,000,000. Railroad Earnings Decrease. "That Is to say, the population and general development of the country in creased 18 or 20 per cent from 1907 to 1909. but railroad gross earnings fell off 1146,000,000, and net earnings decreased $13,000,000 during the same period, with a noticeable decrease in the physical condition of many roads. "The fair citizen," Mr. W'nchell con cludes, "will, when lie knows the facts, concede that the railroads need more money per unit of service given, and he is beginning to understand that the rate basis must be high enough to enabl-j the companies to keep up with the needs and growth of the country." CUT DOWN AIjIi SUPPLY ORDERS, Railroads Made Radical Retrenchment Curtailments. St. Louis, Aug. 12. Even before railroad managers learned that there was little or no probability of getting higher rates into effect during the summer, it was generally reported that they were pursuing a conservative policy with respect to the purchase of materials and supplies. It was gener ally understood, however, that this policy related particularly to steel rails, and that In other lines of manu factured steel their orders had not been notably curtailed. Most railroad executives admitted that they would be compelled to place good sized orders for cars whatever the outcome of the rate controversy might be. Apparently It has not been known that many of the railroads have been pursuing an ultra-conservative policy with respect to purchases of every kind,' except possibly new equipment, which they realize must be secured to handle the crops. It is learned that the officials of some of the southern roads some time ago adopted an ex tremely radical policy with regard to their purchasing department.. It Is understood that on one of these roads the policy calls for the president's per sonal approval for -every purchase that is made. It is unnecessary to say that It embraces a wide range of Industries. It is said that this policy of extreme conservatism with respect to new buy ing by the railroads will continue in effect as long as the present uncer tainty regarding the rate situation con tinues and until the possibility of a short corn crop no longer exists.

Santa Fe Awoke to Find Electric Lines With Hay Contracts. San Bernardino, Cal., Aug. 12. The Santa Fe awoke the other morning to find that the Pacific Electric had quietly entered the field in the Olinda country and secured contracts to move practically the entire hay crop. In an effort to retrieve itself, the steam company is now arranging to construct a 1,000 foot spur at mile post 2 on the Richfleld-Olinda branch. Hitherto It has been neces sary to stop cars on the main line, but since the Pacific Electric has entered the field the Santa Fe Is preparing to offer better service and regain the business it has lost to the electric line. Surveyors are now staking out the new track and work is to be pushed to get the spur in shape as soon as pos sible. When the Pacific Electric started business along the Santa Fe's second district it secured a large portion of the freight business, being able to If This is a Biscuit is ANSWER One the flat, sad. sicklv lookinp- one was halced with oonr halcinc rjowder: possibly the high price kind possibly the cheap, big can kind.

Calumet does not cost as much as the high price baking powder, but it is very much su perior in every way it is purer more reliable more healthful." Here are the reasons: All baking powders undergo a chemical change in the process of baking. You do not take Vt0 stmach n the same form as it is in the can. For example: When you use Cream of Tartar Baking Powder you get Rochelle Salts in your food, because the Cream of Tartar during this reaction tarns into Rochelle S3lts. This, as you know, is a drug, and should be taken only under doctor's orders. Calumet is so carefully and scientifically prepared, that the neutralization of the ingredients is Kusoiuteiy periect. That it is absolutely pure and of highest quality is proven by the fact that w POSLAM'S GREAT WORK IN CURING EXZEMA Uniform Success in the Treatment ot All Surface Skin Diseases.

ALUM mum pouseb Received highest award World's Pure Food Exposition, Chicago, 1907 Baking Valuable Edition as Beginning of Rail way Library. Beginnings of a library of current railway topics have Just been made by Slason Thompson of the bureau of rail way news and statistics of Chicago, who has compiled In book form, "to present In permanent and accessible form Information in regard to Ameri can railways worthy of more than the ephemeral life of newspaper or pam phlet publication," a number of the papers and addresses on transporta tion In its various phases which ap peared during the year 1909. Should the book meet its purpose It will be succeeded by annual volumes of like character and under the same title, "The Railway Library." Mr. Thompson has accompanied these "messages of today" with a brief glance at conditions on tne continent before the days of the railroad, using for this purpose two chapters of Cleve land and Powell's "Railroad Promo tion and Capitalization In the United States." which has lust appeared, and also the first report of the engineer of the Pennsylvania rain-oad, bringing out the small beginnings of this great system.

Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 12. For the first time since 1901, when the price of $28 per ton was established for stand ard steel rails, the United States Steel corporation, through its subsidiary, the Illinois Steel company, has cut that price. It leaked out that the Illinois Steel company has taken a contract within the past few days to furnish 20,000 tons of rails to a western rail road at $26.50 per ton, being forced to accept this price or lose the order to German and English manufacturers, who, aided by cheap water transporta tion In their own bottoms, could have laid their foreign product down on the San Francisco wharves at that figure, despite the tariff, and deliver them as cheaply to the buyer as the Illinois Steel company could. The question of freight from the South Chicago mills to western points was an important feature of the transaction. It is believed the cutting of prices by the Illinois Steel company on the twenty-thousand-ton lot was due to the fact that the Steel corporation re cently lost a big railroad order when European makers secured a contract to deliver 15,000 tons of rails to the National Railroad of Mexico. The or der went to a Belgian plant. The entry cf American steel makers Into foreign markets Is believed to be one cause of foreign makers seeking American contracts In retaliation. American steel makers have "dumped" their product on foreign markets dur ing periods ot depression at lower prices than they would accept at home. ST. LOUIS TO SAN FRANCISCO. Missouri Pacific to Inaugurate Through Trains to Coast. Salina, Kan.. Aug. 12. Persistent rumors are going the rounds in rail road circles to the effect that the Mis souri Pacific railroad system is making arrangements to establish a new and through passenger train. This train will run from St. Louis to San Fran cisco, probably without change of cars. The Western Pacific railroad, a new Gould system and which completes a transcontinental route for the Goulds, begins a passenger service August 22. The new train, according to rumor, is to be inaugurated soon after that date. But local trainmen are of the opin ion that the new train will go via the cutoff and thus avoid Salina.
