THEY V7ANJ A REST Delegates to the Conservation Congress Are Growing Weary. Effort Will Be Made to End the Session Tonight. PLEA FOR THE BIRDS. Secretary of Audubon Society Asks for More Protection. Earages of Insects Cost the Country a Billion Yearly. St. Paul, Sept. 8. It Is possible that the national conservation congress which by the program should continue tomorrow will close tonight. President Baker said he would crowd the program as much as possible to this end and perhaps hold a night session. It has been a strenuous convention and dele gates and visitors want a rest. The presidency la expected to go to J. B. White, the present chairman of the executive committee. GifEord Pin chot, who Is president of the National Conservation association. told his friends that he would not be a candi date. Members of the resolutions commit tee met early to draft a platform. T. Oilbert Pearson, of North Carolina, sec retary of the National Association of Audubon societies, introduced a plank for the protection of wild birds. "The wild birds," he declared, "con stitute one of the most valuble natural assets in our country." He stated that the losses to the ag riculture and forestry interests of the United States annually amount to one billion dollars through the ravages of lnseuts and that this per cent in on the increase owine to the decreasing num bers of birds which constitute one of the chief natural enemies of injurious insects. The Audubon society interest ed Col. Roosevelt, while he was presi dent, in setting aside 61 national reser vations as bird refuges and these reser vations are today guarded by the ward ens of the Audubon society. It has also secured the enactment of laws in 37 state prohibiting the killing of insect eating birds. "The great stumbling block in secur ing better laws for the protection of certain moneyed interests in the coun try who have large sums invested in birds is the great influence wielded by the handling of game and in the sale of feathers for women's hats. We can never hope for the protection the birds rightly deserve until these great cor porate Interests, can be controlled by etatutory enactment," said Mr. Pear son. W. D. Simmons addressed the con gress as follows: i(f., Simmons' Address. We of this generation have develop ed a distinctly new type in our Ameri can citizenship one which has no pro totype in the history of any other peo ple one which has become a most potent and influential factor in our daily affairs our modern high-class commercial traveler. To this development, I attribute my having the honor of addressing you to day regarding our resources at the basis of our business, because the or ganization of which I am president em ploys probably the largest corps ot sucn representatives in the country, and has through them the best system of keep ing accurately informed regarding all matters that affect business. I take it therefore as a compliment not to myself alone, but to this new type among our citizens, and as an evi dent recognition of those admirable qualities which have raised this fra ternity from the old-time drummers of questionable methods, to men of high character who have earned the confi dence, respect and friendship of our merchants in every nook and corner of the land. Among the qualifications necessary to the Buccess of the commercial traveler Is that he must be resource-ful. From conclusions based largely upon the observations of the commercial travelers of this country, I will en deavor to outline to you what I believe to be the relationship between our bus iness interests and this question of nat ural resources, and I believe this phase of the question Is most vitally import ant to the people In whose interest you have gathered here from every state in the Union. The primary reason for that belief and the one on which all others hinge Is that we are a nation in trade a whole people engaged in business. Eighty odd per cent of our people are directly or indirectly dependent for their living on business conditions. The busi ness interest therefore is the greatest Interest collectively in the country. Anything which affects the living of the majority of our people is not only worthy of our most earnest attention, but should be approached with due consideration. We should be especially cautious about experimenting with leg islation that may interfere with the natural laws of trade. When this is more generally recognized and the peo ple begin to understand that their in dividual daily incomes are at stake, they will nut a stop to using the busi ness Interests of this country as a foot ball for politics. Not only does there appear to me to be a direct relation between our natural resources and our business, but as I view it, our resources are the founda tion of our business they constitute th capital upon which our business is done. I Get Rich Quick Schemes. In business we endeavor, by industri ous and intelligent use of our capital, to produce as the fruit of our efforts, an annual return without impairing the capital without touching the princioal or jeopardizing It in any manner, "in private enterprise, the man who as sumes the headship of a business or ganization in which the funds of oth ers are Invested as capital, and who then makes a show of prosperity by drawing on that capital to pay what he repre sents as dividends is charged with run ning a "get rich" scheme, and in most Mates is. by law, held personally liable ?lmend 1 your consideration the whlfr ?hCy f apP'ylnS t"at principle where there is involved the capital of all the people-the nation's resources If we are a people In trade, and mean to continue to be, and if our resources arc our capital, can there bo any doubt about tne wisdom of handling that eppi- i .i.".uu,s iu ine rules or good bust- I Tiess can there be any doubt where we 1 as a nation will land if we make an nual inroads upon that capital if we, in the management of the people's business follow methods which in pri vate affairs bring those responsible be fore the bar of justice? We as a nation take Just pride In our business successes we attribute them to the brains we put into our work to the thoroughness with which we study what we do and what others have done that we may profit by experience. I have frequently been asked by those who know our system of getting reliable Information, "How do people over the country feel in regard to con servation; are they in favor of it in ail Its aspects, or do they seem to be in terested only In certain features?" As that is a question that has direct bearing on the business of the country, we naturally had made careful Inquiry regarding it, and we had learned that the majority of the people do not un derstand enough about It to hold any real opinion. They have no adequate idea what conservation means as ap plied, for instance, by this organization to our natural resources. Object of Conservation. In spite of exhaustive reports issued by the departments in spite of scholarly and illuminative articles on the subject, the people generally do not yet understand the real object of con servation. A busy people In trade do not have time to read government re ports or long speeches on any subject, and of course no one can do Justice to even one element of this great subject in a short article. The net result is therefore that there is no general understanding of even the A. B, C of conservation such as should be given to the people such as they would be glad to have, and such as they must have before there Is war rant for feeline that the foundation stones of conservation are so firmly grounded that no transitory wave of agitation on-unimportant aeiaus can uj successfully used to dislodge them. The majority have not yet grasped the idea that one of the prime objects nf iMs conservation movement is to preserve fertility and productiveness of the soil, on which we all depend for our food suooly. They are not aware that already in manv parts of this country, where formerly any man wno rentea urai lands was entirely free to use them with Indifference to tneir ruture, ne is now T-poulred by the owners to enter into a written contract which provides just how the land is to be cultivated how the crops are to be rotated, and fertilizers used. The owners of these lands today require their tenants to practice conservation. When this nation of business people understands that conservation is sim ply another term for business manage nimt nf tbe neonle's capital, the pres' sure of public opinion will be so strong behind this movement as w uiuun. i. interference or delay in tne passage and enforcement of the laws needed to begin at once a business adminis tration. How to spread more widely a cor rect understanding of such facts is to day a most important problem. How shall we reach the people who have not yet been reached, and who in all probability will not be reached by any thing published In the usual way? I have a suggestion to make which I ask you to take to the governors who appointed you to attend this congress; that Is, that each one (I mean each governor) summon to his capitol, for consultation, say six of the leading business men of the state selecting those who in their own business have, by successful use of modern adver tising, demonstrated that they have learned from experience how to reach the individual how to tell him some thing they want him to know. Know ing how to do that is just as much a matter of education and experience ir fan education from experience as are the methods of the forester or of me pUULIiriilll UJ la a. at the game. Give the people of your state the benefit of this experience. It can be had for the asking. The business men can be depended on to help whenever called upon. They will be particularly ready in this matter which, in propor tion as it is successful will make for good trade and stable business condi tions. 'Will Help Business. The conservation of our natural re sources stands for more stable busi ness conditions year after year in that it tends to reduce the chances of de stroying our new wealth the crops, just when they seem to be practically assured. Ask such a group of successful ad vertisers to formulate a scheme of reaching the public generally with the kind of information they want, and should have about conservation. En list the co-operation of the army of commercial travelers within the state there are no more loyal American citizens anywhere none who can do more in such a campaign none who will more gladly lend a hand when once they are advised along proper lines, and know how great a factor the conservation of our natural resources can be in the upbuilding of business everywhere, and through it. the gen eral prosperity of our people. j Ask this business council to f ormu-! late ways of making known not only the facts about the forests and water supply, and the importance of these facte to every individual man, woman and child in the nation, but why we in the United States average 13 bushels of wheat per acre, instead of 23 Vi bushels, as they do In Germany, and 30 9-10 bushels in the United Kingdom of Great Britain; how this is making homestead lands scarce, and prices high, because we only get half the amount of crops we should get from the land we have under cultiva tion, and consequently the supply is getting less every year in proportion to the demand. When we find our production is less to the acre each suc ceeding year and more mouths to feed, it is time everybody knew why. Tell them in the simplest and most direct manner possible what is meant by the "pork barrel" in politics how it is being used to retard the proper development of our natural resources, and why, therefore, it stands in the way of the nation's progress. Let them know why we all have reason to thank God that we have in the White House a president who does not let politics silence his toneue on that sub ject or swerve him from his determin ation to stop this waste of the nation's funds. Write up a short story of what reclamation has done and can do in relieving the situation by opening up to us millions of acres of land which can and will add greatly to our food and meat supply; tell them what has already been accomplished, for in stance, in Florida, and the progress that is still being made by reclamation work, to the great benefit of the people of that state. Explain in a simple manner that hand In hand with the profitable de- Continued on Pag Eight.) NOT IN THE DARK. Chairman Dolley of Republican Committee Says let Light In. Political Parties Must Tell Where Money Comes From. ARE NO MORE FACTIONS Says He'll Recognize No Di vision in the Party. Regards Platform as Contract With the People. Chairman J. N. Dolley of the Re publican state committee this morning issued an instruction to political par tie sof Kansas to make public in full under oath a statement of all cam paign funds received and disbursed in the fall campaign. k "I believe In publicity of campaign funds before election." he said, "and am ready to enter into an agreement with those representing the other po litical parties in the state to publish such a statement in full under oath." Mr. Dolley said that reports com ing to the committee indicate that the factional fight in the party prior to the party council has subsided and that harmony will mark the campaign. He continued; "There seems to be satisfaction re garding the principles of the Republi can platform as adopted. The county committees are getting together and preparing to work for the election of the entire ticket, -regardless of regular or insurgent policies of individual can didates and the prospects never were brighter. "I expect to be chairman of the Re publican committee-in Kansas as a whole and not a factional chairman. I invite all Republicans to join us in ob taining one of the most complete vic tories by which Kansas ever was car ried." Returning to his remarks regarding the platform adopted at the recent party council, Mr. Dolley said that he looked upon it as equivalent to a con tract entered into by the Republican party and the people of Kansas. "That is the feeling under which the committee is working. The platform is equivalent to a promissory note or a contract or any other kind of binding agreement entered into. We look upon the platform as being as sacred as any business contract and intend to carry it out faithfully in every detail. "We will go into the campaign hon estly and fairly and will present all questions and policies to the people in a sincere and straightforward way. The books of the committee will be open to the public at any time. .This means that anyone will have full opportunity to examine any books, records, etc., and to examine the source of campaign con tributions and the expenditures of them. "I feel that the Republican party has no apologies to make for its present at titude and further feel that it has much to commend it." PROBING FOR GRAFT. Legislative Committee Traces $5,000 of Metropolitan Cash. New York, Sept 8. The effort to trace Metropolitan street railway cash through the brokerage firm of Elling wood Cunningham, to the accounts of various members of the legislature of 1900 was expected to engage for a considerable time today the attention of the legislative probers into alleged Sfe v. setter 'rvA Cv Mr x JseSv graft in connection -with legislation at Albany. When the committee adjourned yes terday the .examination of the witness considered to be the most important of the day, George Carpenter, former ly bookkeeper for the defunct broker age firm, had not been completed. Al ready, however, he had told the com mittee many interesting things. Among these was the. statement that H. P. Vreeland, president of the Metropoli ton Street Railway company, had on April 17, 1900, given the Arm his check for $5,000 of which amount, ac cording to Carpenter's reading from the Arm's books, the account of Louis Bedell, then chairman of the commit tee on railroads of the state assembly, had been credited with $2,375, while the balance had gone in nearly equal parts to the accounts of former Sena tor Goodsell and of G. TV Rogers. Various account books which the committee needs In Its probing were not available yesterday and efforts were being made today to have them produced. The committee has inti mated that it may take drastic meas ures if the documents in question are not promptly submitted to it. R. NAGEL'S VIEWS. He Says Alaska Needs Local and Self Government. Seattle. Wash., Sept. 8. Speaking at a smoker given in their honor last night by the Arctic club. Attorney General Wlckersham and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel referred humorously to the political events that have taken place tn their six weeks' absence in Alaska. Mt. Nagel hoped that none of the new Republican plat forms contained a declaration in favor of the free coinage of silver. Mr. Wickersham said that Alaska had not received proper consideration at the hands of congress. The ques tion of the development of Alaska's resources was not for him to decide, but for congress. The time for giving away national assets had passed, he said. Mr. Nagel spoke of the need of local self government in Alaska. He favor ed representatives with authority and discretion because In a. country so far removed long distance government was peculiarly dangerous and Ineffective. He would have officials who could say yes, or no, without asking Washington. After the smoker, Mr. Nagel and Mr. Wickersham departed for Port land, whence Mr. Wickersham will go to Butte and Mr. Nagel to San Fran cisco. HIGHWAYMAN WAS SHOT The Stone Hurled by Engineer Stewart Did Not Kill Him. Colorado Springs. Col., Sept. 8. That the lone highwayman who was killed while holding up Midland train No. 3, near Divide on theiiight of September 1, did not come to Wis. death as the re sult of a blow frtfm a stone in the hands of Engineer Frank Stewart, but rather from a gunshot -.wound received during the struggle, is -the finding of the coroner b jury. According to the report of the. jury, which was made at Cripple Creek, the shot was "fired by a hand unknown." It was found that the blow dealt by Engineer Stewart was serious, but not fatal. All attempts to identify the holdup have been unsuccessful. A Light Rain FaUs.

A committee of 16 members of the Hamilton club headed by John H. Bat ten, came to Freeport from Chicago in a special car and met Col. Roosevelt, who is here: to attend the county fair. They came to make arrangements for the dinner. The committee met him at the fair grounds and the colonel at once asked, who was to attend the din ner. "Is Speaker Cannon to be there?" he said. "Yes," Mr. Batten replied, "he' ac cepted the invitation." "How about Senator Lorimer?" he iasked. "Senator Lorimer is a member of the club," he was told. "He has accepted an invitation to the dinner." "Then I must decline to go," said the colonel He added that he would feel the same about the presence of Senator Lorimer as if members of the Illinois legislature who are involved in the graft Investigation should be present at the dinner. The members of the committee told the colonel they would go back to Chi cago and inform Senator Lorimer of his views.' v "No," C6I. Roosevelt replied,- "send him a telegram telling him I will not attend the dinner tonight if he is there." Great Preparations. Chicago, Sept.. .8. Extensive prepar ations have been made for the enter tainment of Col. Roosevelt upon his arrival in Chicago from Freeport, 111., late this afternoon.

Preceded by motorcycle police ana flanked by a sauad of mounted offi cers, Colonel Roosevelt will be taken to his hotel. The banouet Is set for 6 o'clock. Three of the large banquet halls at the hotel have been decorated for the occasion. Two of these will be used for the banquet proper and the third will be the scene of the reception fol lowing. This latter room has been transformed into a representation of a jungle. The African motif will be present in many details, ana among other things the chef of the hotel has constructed a candy piece four feet high representing Colonel Roosevelt seated on an elephant witn two negro gun bearers in the midst of palm trees.

Cardinal Varnutelli, the papal legate to the Eucharistic congress, announced this morning that he was considerably re freshed by the few hours" rest he had been able to get after the curtailment of the government's reception laat night on account of his indisposition. To the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press, the legate said today: "Please state that I am quite myself aealn.. No engagements will be can celled today. I really regret that fatigue prevented me from seeing the good people who conierred such honor upon' me. I hope to do better at the cirv's reception tonight. This morning the cardinal officiated at Dontlfical mass in the cathedral for members of religious orders. Mary were unable to get within a block of the structure. The legate gave tne nanal blessinz from the balcony. Mayor Guerin announced that the city hoped at tonight's receptions to prevent a repetition of the confusion that nrevailed at last night's affair. The reception will be held at the city hall and police lnsteaa or tne paptu fhamhorlains will be near the legate. Cardinal VannutelH is extremely sensitive in the matter of personal at tention. Several times he has firmly intimated to those about him that while he appreciated the motives he would prefer that they would be less solicitous about his physical condition. Weather Indications.

THE FIRST WITNESS Says They Are Similar to Those Worn by Belle Elmore. Chemist Testifies to the Pur- chase of llyoscin. London. Sept. 8. At the resumption today of the trial of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve for the murder of the former's wife. Pub lic Prosecutor Humphreys Introduced evidence to establish the claim of the crown that the parts of the mutilatr ea body found in the Crippen home once formed a part of the person of Belle Ellmore, the missing wife and to so strengthen what has been pop ularly regarded as the missing link in the chain of evidence against the ac-. cused. The first witness called was Mm Adeline Harrison, whose acquaintance j with Belle Ellmore had extended over 1 a period of It years. Mrs. Harrison i was asked to examine strands of hair rouna when the dismembered body was uncovered and having done so, she swore that she recognized the ex- j nibit as similar to that worn by Bella Ellmore. A torn bit of feminine underwear; also discovered by the searchers in thei cellar was next Introduced and the witness declared that she had seen Belle Ellmore clothed In under garments of a like texture. Testimony had been offer ed before, showing that the lower part of the body bore a scar, the result of an operation. Mrs. Harrison testified! that she had seen a similar scar on tiie body of her friend. The accused were seated in the dock within whispering distance and the doctor took advantage of the opportun ity to speak to the girl. Miss Leneve presented a woebegone appearance and did not seem anxious to converse. Crip pen, to whom his spectacles had been returned for the first time since his ar rest, appeared as the Crippen of early photographs. He spoke to the girt anxiously and she replied In monosyl lables. Evidence Is Weakened. On his cross examination of Mrs. Harrison,' F. Newton, representing Crippen, detracted from the strength Of thfl .vlH.np. a n lnntjnn,.ll I- Ji cated what is believed to be the line of aeiense. in reply to Newton's quess tions, the witness assented to the sug gestion that the hair, the portion of a' woman's vest and the curling iron found in the Crippen cellar were not only similar to those worn or used by the missing woman, but also "re sembled thousands of others." When Mrs. Harrison left the stand, the prosecution called the chemist who claims that he sold hyoscln, a deadly poison, to Crippen. The witness testi fied that the doctor purchased five grains of the drug on January 19, ex plaining that he required the poison for use in homeopathic preparations. As is required of purchasers of pois ons, he signed the registry book of file store, making this inscription "Mun yons, per H. H. Crippen." Inspector Dew, who arrested th fugitives and brought them back from Quebec, re-entered the witness box to day and read a lengthy statement signed by Crippen when the police first asked him to make an explanation of his disappearance from London after, suspicion had been directed against him. The gist of the statement had already been covered by Humphreys in his opening address.- Inspector Dew also testified regard ing the search of Crippen's house and told of finding there a loaded revolver, and a box of cartridges. The statement which Crippen mad to Inspector Dew concluded: Mir he II of la that m-m -oH- I,.- to Chicago to Join Bruce Miller." in cross examining tne inspector.

H. Crippen" in the chemist's registry book was shown to J. M. Munyon of thia city, by whom Crippen had been em ployed. Mr. Munyon stated that the deadly poison was never used by him in his preparations and that Crippen never put up any remedies for him. as all that work is done In Philadelphia. Mr. Munyon further said that Crip pen severed his connection with the Munyon Interests In December, 1909. He had been engaged only to answer medi cal correspondence for the ccmpany.

While it has been generally under stood that the Topeka franchise In the Western league would not Btay in this city after this year it has been a mat ter of conjecture what would be done with it. Evidently Manager Cooley has been simply waiting to see what would offer. It has been rumored that the franchise would go to Oklahoma City and Just at present the rumor seems to have some plausible founda tion. A report comes from Oklahoma City tn the effet that Cooley was in tho city this week to confer with President Abner Davis of the Oklahoma City club relative to the transfer to him of the Topeka club.

Now that Ty Cobb is down and out with a bad eye there Is a possibility that he will not go joy riding in that car offered by the Detroit manu facturing company for the country's lead ing batter for this season after all. Lajoie is close on his heels and is batting like a fiend. Cobb went to bat five times Monday in the two games with the Browns, and, strange to say, wasn't able to get a hit. Larry Lajoie of the Naps pelted the pellet safely four times In six times to bat against the White Sox, and he boosted his mark. Those two games in Brooklyn were rather disastrous for Mr. Frederick Snod grass of the Giants, for in the five times he waltzed to the plate he only got one hit, making an average of .300 for the day, and knocking two points off his percentage and causing his record to read .352. Tria Sneaker of the Red Sox. the former Little Rock star, is a player that bears a good deal of watobing now, and he Is making the above mentioned trio, Cobb Lajoie and Snodgrass, clutch their wagon tongues wltn renewea oeiermmwion. i lie following are the averages including only the Labor day games: A.B.

Cobb dirt not come here with the team for the four game series which opens today, but remained in juteiron to consult a specialist. Detroit, Sept. 8. According to Ty Cobb's physician the inflammation is but a trif ling matter, but the player has been or dered to take a rest. A few days are ex- itM-M to remove the trouble. An exam ination of Cobb's eyes disclosed that the famous batsman uses but one eye In bat- tine. His left eve is normal, but the right is near sighted and is partly closed when he stands at tne piate.

The case is of great Interest as it involves the construction and the possible con stitutionality of the state labor law. The law in Kansas in reference to child labor is as follows: "No child under 14 years of age shall at any time be employed, permitted or suffered to work in connection with any factory, workshop, not owned by the parent or parents of said child, theater, packing house, etc." Any person found guilty of this law shall be liable to a fine of not less than $2 nor more than $100 or by im prisonment in the county Jail not less than 30 nor more than 90 days.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8,1910. WILL BE A BIG ONE. State Teachers' Meeting In October Promises Well. "We will have the strongest and best speakers of national reputation on the program for the meeting of the State Teachers' association next month that ve have ever had," said E. T. Fairchild. state superintendent of pub lie instruction. The bia- gathering will be held Oc tober 20 and 21 and it is confidently expected that there will be a record breaking crowd present. Last Novem ber those who attended sessions num bered nearly 6,000. In 1909 the committee on arrange inents was able to handle the crowds paequateiy, prcviaing aii;uiiuuuuo""- ror me visitors, ana ii is uui cipu ht thero will be any difficulty in this respect next month, even should there be an increased attendance. The meeting of teachers immediate ly follows the New Century conven tion of the Christian church, which will probably bring 10,000 persons to the city, and the teachers' committee on nrmn fl-pmpnts will be able to utilize to a certain extent the list of rooming houses which is being made by the local entertainment committee of the Christian church. According to Superintendent Fair .hlid ttio mint Imhnrtnnt theme which will be discussed at the gathering of teachers will be "The selection or ine important and the elimination of the unimportant elements in our education al system." "The question will be ask ed," continued Mr. Fairchild, "if by in tensive work would it be possible to ac complish more than we accomplish in the schools at the present time. "It is generally recognized that in Germany more is accomplished in a given number of years than in the schools here. For example, we have eight years of arithmetic m the graae school, and the question will be dis cussed as to whether we cannot cut out some useless stuff and do the work in less time. "There will be one general meeting at the Auditorium which will be given over entirely to Kansas speakers and tODics certaining particularly to local conditions. This will be something of an innovation. Officers of the association are: Presi dent, Frank Strong, chancellor state university, Lawrence; first vice presi dent, Julia M. Stone, Hays; second vice president, J. R. Jewell, Emporia; third vice president, I. M. Allen. Wichita; secretary. Miss Anna Arnold, Cotton wood Falls. Dr. Frank Strong will arrange the general program, while the program for the department meetings will be made up by the vice presidents. There will not be several of the latter each after noon as has heretofore been the case. It has been decided to make the pro grams longer, but to have just one meeting each afternoon.

REGULAR SERVICE. The Pennsylvania Begins Operating Trains Through New Tunnel. New York. Sept. 8. Regular passen ger service through the new Pennsyl vsnia tunnels between New York city and Long Island began today. The oc casion is being celebrated as "tunnel day" all over Long Island., xne tun nel improvements bring suburban points throughout Long Island about 25 minutes nearer to the heart of Manhattan than heretofore. The first regular train through the new tubes left the big Pennsylvania terminal at Seventh avenue ana Thir-tv-second street exactly on schedule time 3:41 o'clock this morning. There were no special ceremonies connected with the departure of the train and it carried only about its usual number of passengers. The first incoming train to enter the new terminal arrived irom Jamaica, u. I., at 4:30 o'clock. The twelve mile trip from Jamaica was made in mine teen minutes. Yesterdav the trip would have taken a commutor about fifty minutes, allow ing for time spent on the ferry and on the cross town street car lines. CAUGHT IN KANSAS. Colorado Girl Was Beating Her Way In Male Attire. Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 8. Laura Bell Taylor, a 17 year old girl, who was believed to have been drugged and kidnaped last week from the home of her stepfather, Charles Palmer, a ranchman living east of here, was ar rested at Horace, Kan., last night as she stepped from a freight train on which she was beating her way with a male companion. The girl was dress. ed in boys clothing. Her companion made his escape. Mystery surrounded the disappear ance of the girl from her home. A bottle partly filled with chloroform. was found In the girl's room and there were evidences of a struggle. All of her clothing remained undisturbed. and apparently she had been carried away in her night dress. Posses spent several days scouring the surrounding country for her supposed abductors. The girl declares she left home of her own accord because her step father compelled her to work In the fields and to herd cattle. First Fair Senior What will your grad uation thesis be? S-nonr!

And Meanwhile His shortages Are Increasing. Abilene, Kan., Sept. 8. With two bonding companies interested in finding nim and with the state endeavoring to punish him for violation of the bank ing laws and defalcation it will take clever work for John A. Flack, the miss ing cashier of the Abilene State bank, to escape. Probate Judge Anderson completed his search of the court reenrds snil found that Flack was administrator for lour estates m which there is $5,000. In two of them the United States Fidel ity and Casualty company is his bonds man for $2,500. In the others for a like sum 1. S. Hallam. president of the hank. is bondsman. No new shortages besides this $5,000, which does not affect the bank, have come to light. A number or small deposit accounts, of which the books show no record, have been presented, but the aggregate is small. One of the directors said: "We believe that we are practically at the bottom of the matter and that our first estimate of $20,000 above the nron- erty turned in by Flack will cover our loss, we have possession of all his Known property and will be able to realize on it fully $40,000." This makes the total amount of the shortage not far from $60,000. The bank has done its usual business in the last two days, and all fear of trouble In that direction is past. President Hal lam, though 67 years old, is cheerful and says: "It gives me great satisfaction to know that the people of the town have such confidence and that we were able to make the bank's1 loss good." Many instances are related that indi cate that Flack was either money mad or that he was a rascal. He boasted of his large income, saying his western land was paying him more than he could spend. He bought a motor car with the remark: "I have more money than I know what to do with." He urged his wife to spend more because their Income was increasing so. fast, yet at the time he was manipulating the bank books to cover a growing shortage and had only three cheap quarters of western Kansas land. Local officers have small hope of finding him. The bonding companies with larger facilities may. In figuring up his shortage and his probable ex penditures $15,000 to $20,000 Is unac counted for. Whether he lost it in speculation or took it with him is not known. May lose His Arm. New York, Sept. 8. Frank Gasdey of Chatham, N.

Girl Singer at Moving Picture Show Has Experiences. It isn't hard to fool neoDle if one Just knows how. That is the spirit of fun-loving Raphaela Carlos, singer or the illustrated songs at the moving pic ture show in the Grand theater. Miss Carlos dresses as a boy, drops the- a of Raphaela and sings that's all, sings, though she sings wonderfully well. Miss Carlos has carried her pranks while dressed as a boy to an extent upon which she never reckoned. Some months ago she sang at an airdome in Kansas she doesn't like to have it known where for indeed Miss W I mean Carlos, is a timid little creature, and would blush for hours if her friends at home knew she wore trous ers and masqueraded in them.) Adopting a stage name, the little Kansas girl, who modestly admits she is twenty, though she looks more like sixteen (never kissed included), began singing. She sang at the Novelty theater last winter as a girl. In the spring she began singing in the air domes. Then she went, to L There she stayed for three months, applying for the position when dressed as a boy and remaining in the town three months without her secret be coming known. Only recently she returned to To peka, re-engaged with the Crawfords and will sing here in the winter. But her love for fun kept on impel ling her to other pranks. One Satur day night recently she walked down Kansas avenue dressed jauntily in her disguise. Such a sweet roly-poly lit tle girl as she chanced to meet never was known to have flirted before. Nevertheless, she did flirt, (Miss) Carlos of course beginning it. Then the youthful lovers went to Vinewood. They strolled about the park for a time, they tried the merry-go-round, they visited the swing and other amusements, finally seeking out a secluded nook as all lovers like to do. Loving, well, that is not to be told In the columns of a newspaper, but ask Miss Carlos and until this day the girl doesn't know she was taken In. Miss Carlos explains that her reason for dressing as a boy when singins is because as a girl her voice is not more than the ordinary, though as a boy her voice is phenomenal GREATEST STEEIr CITY IN WORLD Director of University of Cologne Talks About Gary, Ind.

Co. US1C PIANOS FATHER DID RIGHT. A. W. Bradshaw Acquitted of Assault on Youthful Don Juan. Disregarding the theory that all the world loves a lover. Judge S. S. Urmy decided in favor of the irate father Wednesday afternoon and said that he considered A. W. Bradshaw had done the right thing in the right place when he punished Ernest Woodward, who flrst tried to take Fairy Bradshaw from her stepfather and afterward tried to whip Bradshaw for prevent ing him. Fairy, who is 15 and pretty and knows it, was in court. She want ed to give friendly testimony for her young Sir Galahad, but had let slip one or two statements which served to ruin his case and her father's attorney, Otis Hungate, was winding up 'With a few questions concerning the true state of her feelings toward Woodward. "You knew your stepfather didn't want you to go with him, didn't you?" "Yes." "But you always intended to go with him anyway, didn't you?" "Dm-huh." "And you intend to keep right on going with him in the future, don't you?" "Yes, I do," declared she. and the young man who received this guaran tee of approval looked glad, while a titter went around the court room.' The fight took place last Friday aft ernoon on West Sixth street, not far from Bradshaw's Bon-Ton restaurant, at number 117. The girl and boy had met at the Aurora theater and the father, who had suspected the tryst, happened along in time to see them come out of the show house together. He started home with the girl. Wood ward tagging along and asserting his own right to accompany the girl home. Near the alley the altercation degen erated rapidly from a debate into a wrestling match and finally into a fist fight. Woodward-tried to tell the story so that the court could see the father as the aggressor, but the facts that he had followed after he had been warned to stay away, that he actually struck the first blow and that It was very doubtful if Bradshaw really struck with his fists at all, spoiled his charge of assault and battery against the older man. Bradshaw seized the boy, who is good-sized for his 16 years, and held him across a hitching rack until the "fight" died out of the lad's heart. The boy was taken to a hospital for repairs, but was discharged next day. "How badly 'did he hurt you?" asked the judge.

The State Journal Is a member ef i? Associated Press and receives the .full day teleeraph report of that great new" i or-a-anfration for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. Im, The news Is received In The State Jonr nsl building over vires for this sole pur Toe. Kansas now has 286 farmers' Insti tutes with more than 10,000 mem bers. Let the good work go on. This much can be said to the credit of the former Topeka baseball team. It comes within one or two runs of winning a game once in a while. Charles W. Morse, the. former New Tork banker, has also discovered that lie cannot do just as he pleases in the federal penitentiary at Augusta, Ga. Probably the sorest man on earth today is Mr. Walter Jeffries, of Lon don, England. His famous bulldog, Dick Stone, for which he refused $60, 000 a few weeks ago, died on Sun day. Bi er was the thing that first made Milwaukee famous, but, In the future. It will be known to fame as the Amer ican city which welcomed Colonel Roosevelt with addresses in four dif ferent languagos. From the price eggs are bringing It is apparent that the hens are out on another etrtke. And the distress ing feature of such a strike is that there Is absolutely no chance ror lis settlement through mediation and ar bitration. mmm Heed should be given to the pro clamation issued by Mayor Billard urging everybody in Topeka to close up shop at noon on Tuesday of next week, which is Topeka day at tne state fair. It should be made a gala occasion. "There is too much hysteria abroad in the land," says Charles Warren Fairbanks, the former vice president. And Mr. Fairbanks is not very far out of the way. As a matter of fact he hits the nail on the head, and it's a crooked nail, too. Governor Stubbs' activity In the limelight at St. Paul which has result ed in his being hailed by some of his admirers as "the man of the hour" Is bound to make him unpopular in certain quarters which it is not nec essary to mention specifically. John B. Moissant, the American aviator, has just completed his aero plane flight from Paris to London. It took him just three weeks to turn the trick. Therefore, when you hear of a cross country contest between a 4ortoise and an aeroplane, put your money on the tortoise. Two indictments have been found in Chicago charging women with a violation of what is known as the Mann "white slave" act which was passed by congress just before it ad journed. Still, there are some people who insist that there Is no such thing es "white slave traffic" In this coun try. It may not be out of place to re mark that the members of the Amer ican Numismatic association, now in cession In New York city, are he only class of people in this coun try who are not particularly Interest ed in the coin of the realm. They only delight in the coins of other and -antique ages. "There is much that makes me sor ry as I journey down, life's way," fines Ella Wheeler Wilcox. And the Chicago Record-Herald thinks "she must have neglected to get her coal wen the price was down, last spring." The Becord-Herald seems to forget that Ella has an unlimited supply of natural gas, otherwise class ified as "hot air." The International Harvester com pany has been branded as a trust by a special commissioner appointed by the supreme court of Missouri to take testimony in an ouster suit in stituted against the company in that etate. This Is about the steenth time the Harvester company has been branded as a trust during the past few years, but it has continued to do business at the same old stand. But, then, names never hurt any one or anything, anyhow. Either Mr. Dolley, the bank com missioner and major domo of the Kansas band of Insurgents, does not control the Wabaunsee Republican county committee, of which he is chairman, or else he Is more disposed io be fairer than his Insurgent breth ren. At any rate this committee pass ed resolutions endorsing President Taft as "an earnest and efficient pres ident, and an honest conscientious leader." Some sentiments like that would not have been out of place In tba Republican state platform. CURB THE SHUNGANCJfGA. Favorable action would appear to be the1 only kind the Shawnee county com missioners can take on the petitions to be presented to them for the establish ment of a drainage district on the east side of Topeka. Assuredly this Is need ed to cope with the flood situations which develop in that section every time the rain spills a little water Into Biddle fcreek and the fickle Shunga nunga. The people In that part of the town have been harassed long enough by the floods which almost overwhelm them two and three times a year. The time for action has. arrived. It will cost money, much of It proba bly, to make this part of the town flood-proof. It will be money well spent, however, and the property own ers, who will have to foot the biggest share of the bill, will have the value of their possessions enhanced most mater ially. The east side of Topeka would be quite as desirable a residential sec tion as any other part of the city If it were not subjected to a flood every once In a while. These floods only last a few hours to be sure, for when the waters of the Shunganunga become turbulent, they fall as rapidly as they rise. But when they are up they get high enough to fill the cellars of the homes with water and cover the ground floors of the cottages, not built on unusually high foundations, with water and mud. And the damages done by these floods to house-owners and renters are far from being Immaterial. Many people who would be glad to live on the east side of the city feel compelled to forego their desires in this particular just because of these condi tions. In the northern section of the east side Is by far the largest Industry In the city, the Santa Fe shops. It Is especially convenient for the shop men and their families to make their homes. In this section of the city. But many of them are compelled to give up this convenience because they don't like the idea of having to fight floods every whip-stitch. Many other people besides shop men make their homes In this ter ritory and more would if these treach erous floods could be averted. They can. The problem of straightening out the Shunganunga or fixing it up in some other way so that It can carry off the waters dumped Into It by heavy rains Is one that any competent engi neer or set of engineers can work out. And there should be no further delay In having it worked out. That the pro perty owners in this territory who are behind the petitions for a drainage dis trict, which forms the preliminary step for the eradication of this evil, are alive to their necessities, bespeaks of their good, sound sense." CHILDREN' OF THE DESTITUTE. Unintentional error was made in these columns recently in discussions of the problem concerning the care of the children of destitute parents in the broad statement that once a child of such a parent was admitted to the State Orphans' home It was impossible for the parent to recover the child again in case fortune smiled more kindly and the parent got In a position to care for his or her children. As has been pointed out by Commissioner Bowman of the state board of control in his admirable letter on this subject to the State Journal, the children ad mitted to this home whose parents are able to pay for a part of their keep can be taken out by their parents any time and children admitted to the home whose parent or parents are ab solutely destitute, and who are not adopted out by the home, can be re claimed by their parents when they get on their feet again. But the Important fact yet remains and this was the point aimed at In the previous discussions here, that if a destitute parent places children in the state home, signing away all rights t them as has to be done, and the chil dren are adopted out by the home, then It Is impossible for the parent ever to get the children back or find any trace of them unless through merest chance or accident. Such a condition of affairs ought not to pre vail. It seems Inhuman and not In line th the pretensions of civilization. There would appear to be but one remedy. That would be to prevent th. adoption out of any children admitted to the home who have a parent alive. and maintaining them as state charges until they are old enough to shift for themselves or help their parent keep up a home, in case the parent does not get in a position to take them from the home before that time.' Suggestions were made In these col umns that perhaps it would be a wise charity for the state to allow deserv ing destitute parents a sum for the support of each of their children not in excess of the amount it .would cosi the state each week to care for the children In the orphans' home. In this way, a worthy, but poverty-stricken mother could keep her little family to gether and do better by them than 't is possible to do in any Institution. Mr. Bowman calls attention to the fact that a Kansas law permits county commissioners to do this very thing, And Mr. Bowman says: "If the news papers would agitate this matter, th county commissioners' would wake up and become more humane and refuse to any longer- separate a worthy mother from her children." Why wouldn't it be a good plan for the Kansas newspapers to start such an agitation forthwith? They are pretty strong when It comes to agitat ing, and especially the cause of their political friends. But here is a matter which would appear to be more worth while, one which would bring im measurable happiness to many a moth er whom circumstances might other wise force to travel her sorrowful way through life without her loved ones. AFTER COST OF ACCIDENTS. Need for adequate employers' lia bility laws that will provide for liberal as well as automatic compensation in cases of death, and accident, but par ticularly of death Is pointed out em phatically in an article in the Survey for September. An excerpt showing the great and terrible after cost of work accidents, under present condi tions, follows: "The person injured or killed in an Industrial accident is always a worker, an income producer. No helpless chil dren, no feeble old men. no idle wom en perish ip these disasters. So nearly every. work accident leaves a problem of poverty behind. Of the 626 men killed in the year's accidents in Pitts burg. 258 or almost one-half, were married men regularly supporting their families (more than 470 children under sixteen were left fatherless by the fatalities of the year) of the sin gle men and boys killed, only 38 per cent were quit without dependents. "Among the families of married men killed, one-half got from the em ployer either no compensation what ever, or merely funeral expenses. Only one-fourth of these families got more than i&OO. Among the families or sina-le men with dependents, 65 perJ cent stood the whole loss and only 17 per cent got more than, $5 00- "The share of the burden borne by employers as a whole can be better un derstood from these figures: for the 189 cases of married men killed where we learned both the yearly wages and the compensation, the total compensa tion was $74,806: the total yearly wages 8109,263.

The first thing you ask of a man is what ticket does ne vote. Then you want to know the denomination of his church. After that you poke around into his basehall he llers, his idea of Jack Johnson and .Tim Jeffries and a thousand and one other tnings most of which are none of your business. You seem to think that be cause you are a Republican the other fellow has no right to be a Democrat. After you have experimented awhile you wm tumble to the fact that a man's politics ig no Indication of his hon esty.. If you trust him because he be longs to your church you will run against a sharp snag. The honesty and sincerity of this world is not con fined to any political creed.

With Portugal as well as Spain in the throes of political strife, the Iberian Peninsula is in a ferment more violent than common. While Portugal's trou bles are in a measure similar to those of Spain, the two cases are not exact ly parallel. It is true that there is some contest between church and state, and the. Conservative party is allied with the clericals in opposition to the existing Liberal ministry, but the real underlying causes of discontent In Portugal are excessive taxation, cor rupt government and the intense In difference of the great mass of thj peasant population to all public mat ters. The franchise in Portugal is exercised only by a small fraction of the popula tion. A voter must be able to read and write and pay a small tax. As a very large proportion of the total population is illiterate, the franchise is left to a comparatively small electorate. The landholders, nobility, big merchants and officeholders are divided between the two monarchial groups, while there is a strong so-called Republican group, composed of literary persons, small tradesmen, laborers and professional men- of advanced Ideas. Their Idea of republicanism is merely tho extinction of royalty. They know nothing of purely representative and free govern ment enjoyed by the whole people; in fact, the great mass of the Portuguese people are not fit for republican and representative government, hence It is probable that even if a republic were formed It would be short-lived and de generate speedily into a dictatorship. New Orleans Picayune. THE SPIRIT OF UNREST. Nearly every intelligent observer has noted the wide prevalence of the spirit of unrest manifesting itself in countless different ways. This spirit of unrest is not confined to any one country, or to any one class within the country. The spirit of unrest per meates the world of business as well as the world of politics; It is felt in religious fields and in social circles; it is general and elusive rather than well defined and" Of fixed purpose. The word unrest probably describes it as clearly and as sharply as it can be described. If this spirit of unrest is nebulous and intangible, yet really potent, to locate its origin and Identity, its mov ing causes, is a difficult. If not an Im possible task. Unrest is plainly a con comitant of human progress. It is like the eddy that follows in the wake of a moving boat. In his classical work on political economy John Stuart Mill devoted a chapter to the economies or the stationary state a chapter that belongs In the realm of fiction because no social organization can remain at an economic standstill. If .the con ditions Imagined by Mr. Mill were pos sible we might hope some day to ex tinguish completely the spirit of un rest, but with constant and never. ceasing changes in our mutual rela tions in all human activities, unrest is bound to be present and to vary from time to time only In degree.

The Germans, according to strange jokes and the humorous periodicals, are the greatest consumers of cheese. the taste for it beins embedded in the national digestion, as It were. But, so far as concerns one brand of cheese, Americans eat more than the Germans, indeed, more than the people of any other nationality. This is the Roque fort cheese, the making: of which in volves almost the entire population of Aveyron. France.

(By Nellie Gravey Gillmore.) The manager of the Brownville di vision of the C. R. closed the door of the outer office slowly and stood for a moment thinking intently be fore pressing the elevator bell. Then instead of pressing it, he turned and re-entered the room and spoke to the bookkeeper. "It seems to me, Hobson, that you're not looking as bright as usual. Any thing wrong? Possibly a little vaca tion might set you up" The other shook his head, express ing his appreciation in a quick, forced Bmlle. "I'm all right, Mr. Floyd; merely a touch of hot weather al ways goes against me at first." The manager nodded and abruptly left the office. He had done what he could, of course; the rest was with Hobson. But he liked the young fel low, and he didn't want to lose a val uable man. There was something about the bookkeeper's pale face that baffled him. Alone young Hobson closed the day book with a bang and sat for a re flective moment thrumming on the back of it with,, a nervous row of brown finger tips; At this juncture, the office boy whirled in with the afternoon mall and dumped it deferentially at his superior's elbow. The bookkeeper stifled a yawn and began wearily to Bort out the letters and papers. Suddenly his eyes wid ened contracted and the blood sninrsred hotlv to his temples. It was a run minute Deiore ne luuuu tuui&so to tear open the pale blue envelope, idtrnuii with a flourish in one never to be forgotten, eccentric little hand. Nonplussed, ne reaa: "New Torn, xnursaay. Dearest Bettye What will you tninir when I tell you tnat I nave been near to death's door, for, lo! these many weeks?

She still cared. Providence had interposed a helping hand. The whole thing was plain enough. She had accidentally placed the wrong letter in the envelope addressed to him, and no doubt at this very mo ment Miss Bettye Breckenrldge was perusing Clorlnda's last farewell to him!

That Is to say, unless, of course, there should be an unexpected change somewhere. "Let me hear from you as soon as Is convenient. "In haste. TEDDY M." The bookkeeper surveyed this mas terpiece of diplomacy with satisfied eyes. He deliberately sealed and ad dressed it to Miss Clorlnda Hallowell, New York City. I Fifteen minutes later, when the manager returned from luncheon, opened the door and entered, young Hobson cleared his throat and spoke to him somewhat sheepishly: "I've been thinking things over, Mr. Floyd, and as you've been so good as to offer me a vacation "Certainly, certainly, Hobson. Every man needs a rest at least once a year. Take a whole month if you like." The bookkeeper thought a fortnight sufficient. The following day Mr. Floyd handed him transportation to the Adlrondaoks. Hobson had never gone anywhere else for his vacation. The bookkeeper smiled his thanks as he slipped the pass into his pocket and figured the price of a ticket to Ken nebunkport. (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Literary Press.) Pawnbroking In France. There Is only one pawnbroker in France, the -Mont de Plete, concern ing which Consul General Mason writes: "Practically for more than a century, and absolutely for more than 50 years, the Mont de Plete has en joyed a complete monopoly of the pawnbroking business in France. By article 411 of the penal code, any per son lending money on pledge is liable to imprisonment, fifteen days to three months, and a fine of 100 to 1,000 francs (1 franc equals 19.3 cents). There are persons called ticket brokers (merchands des reconnaissances) who advance money (abut 20 per cent of the face value) on the Mont de Piete vouchers, and charge interest at the rate of 10 per cent a month. They keep within the law by making the contract a purchase redeemable in three months, but in practice there appears to be no time limit. "The sole rate of interest charged by the Mont, de Piete is 7 per cent. plus 1 per cent fixed, interest being charged by the half month, at the rate or 8 per cent per annum. The valua tion of pledges Is performed by a syn dlcate of auctioneers. Thev are sup posed to advance four-fifths of the value of Jewelry, etc.. and two-thirds of the value of apparel, etc., out, as they are -liaDle tor any loss on tne sale of unredeemed' pledges, tney sei dom err against themselves. "Nominally, the contract is for a year, but every effort Is made to give the pledger a chance to redeem his goods, and it is usually nineteen to twenty months before they come to the hammer. Facilities are accorded for paying off the money by install ments, at the option of the pledger, the money loaned and the interest charges thus diminishing until tne amount is repaid and the articles re deemed. The average loan is s i. adoui 100,000 unredeemed pledges are sold annually, at an average of $3.80 to $3.40 each. "It is doubtful wnetner private en ternrise could compete against the Mont de Piete, as it Dorrows tne money it requires at a very low rate of inter est, and could easily compete, against private pawnbrokers. Chicago jNews, Here's a Nice Little Bride. Mrs. A. M. Atwood, a wealthy wid ow of New York city, and R. H. Fos ter, of Dalton, Mass., who met for the first time a week ago Sunday at tne Metropole Hotel, in Oakland, made a hasty trip to San Karaei tnis morning, where thev were auietly married. The nuptial knot was tied after several weeks of courtship by correspondence and the newlv wedded couple, both of whom arevwell advanced in years, left for a honeymoon trip with Santa Cruz as the objective point. The correspondence that led the couple -to the altar began while Mrs, Atwood was in Los Angeles recently. She nlar-ed an advertisement for pro posals with a matrimonial agency of that city, ana I'ster s response came, together with 51 others. Mrs. Atwood declared that No. 58 from a man she had formerly known, was on its way when she accepted Foster's proposal and agreed to meet him here for the ceremony. She said she accepted Foster because he did not smoke. "I want a man who does not use tobacco or liquor," she said today, and strangely enough, Foster, who was about to buy a cigar from the hotel clerk, desisted. According to her own statement, Mrs. Atwood is worth about $100,000, Invested in real estate and stocks. Upon the couple's return from San Rafael a will was drawn up in which Mrs. Foster provided $30,000 for Fos ter in case xf her demise. The bal ance was distributed among relatives. She then paid the expenses of Fos ter's courtship, the hotel and sundry bills of both herself and Foster, pur chased him some newv clothes, and then said: "I wonder If the skeptical ones will still persist In declaring that marriage k, .nrrouTinnHpnnfi is a failure." The couple left the hotel with four tnmlfK and six suit cases, avowing their intention of traveling in style.- San Francisco Call. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. I From the Chicago News. A smooth man is apt to make it rough for others. A man with a long head is worth two with long faces. Fools, as a rule, attract more atten tion than wise men. Work kills worry, but it is so much easier to worry than work. The man who expects to fall in an undertaking is seldom disappointed. A soft answer may turn away wrath. but it won't turn a book agent down. With a mind of his own. a man should be able to mind his own busi ness. Women like to use the word "lin gerie" because "It makes a noise like silk. It takes a woman to be nice to a man she doesn't like and mean to one she does. It Is better to put your whole soul Into what you are doing than to put your foot in it. A wedding ring is larger than a dia mond ring, but it is much easier to pull a glove over. Many a truthful man develops Into a cheerful liar when his wife asks how he likes her new hat. We shouldn't always judge by ap pearances, but It's hard to make a pretty girl understand this. A wise man lets his wife think she Is having her own way in order to get her to do what he wants her to. The man who lets his mother pick out his wife or lets his wife pick out his cigars is entitled to a lot of sym pathy. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.

Farmers Did Not Worry While Shunganunga People Mored. KETUKN TO RUSSIA. Several East Gordon Street Peeple Are Going Back. Other Items of Interest in the First Ward. North sideri are congratulating themselves upon the good behavior of Soldier creek during the recent high water. While the neighborhood in the vicinity of the Shunganunga was flood ed and the people there were making a noise like "moving day," leaving their houses, or else marooned on porches, the Inhabitants of the country around Soldier creek were going about their farming the same as ever. They felt a comforting sense of security in the fact that a large portion of the stream had been diked. The rivulet had come up considerable and at places was threatening to leave its banks, but the farmers were not worried. They had taken time by the proverbial forelock and knew that the dikes along the stream would prevent the fields from being flooded by the rise of the stream. These artificial embankments along Soldier creek have doubtless paid for themselves several times since they were built. George Kreutz has sold his property on East Gordon street In "Little Rus sia" and will leave-Topeka September 1 for Pfeiffer, province of Sartow, Rus sia, his native home. He will remain there permanently. He has been in American for about six years. To re turn he will go to New York city and sail from there on the Holland-American line to Rotterdam, Holland. From there he will go by rail to Eydkuhuen. on the border between Germany and Russia and thence to Pfeiffer on the Russian railroad. A great many Russians, who have been here a short time are returning to their homes to stay. A larger num ber have done so this season than ever before. It is said. This may be be- cause that times are getting better in the old country. The climate of the place is said to be especially fine. Notes and Personals.

She was there at the time of the big storm which unroofed cottages and did other damage at Ludington, near there.

TOURISTS ON WAY. Auto Excursionists Leave a( 8 O'clock Tills Morning. With drivers, machines, wheels and luggage all massed into one chunk of mud, the eighteen cars remaining .n the Star Trophies Tour of Kansas City arrived in Topeka about 8 o'clock last, evening after 190 miles of good and bad roads between Wilson, Kan., and th',s city. This morning while the clock on the federal building; was hovering near the VIII mark the same tourists, minus the mud and tired look on their faces, raced from their headquarters at the National hotel to the city limits in North Topeka and commenced the last lap on their 1,684.9 mile trip to Kansas City. Shortly after noon the cars arrived at their checking point in Kansas City and a successful tour through Kansas and Colorado and through the greatest of motor car difficulties was completed. Thirty-seven cars left Kansas City to make the long trip and eighteen 3t them arrived in Topeka last evening. A large number of Kansas City mo tor car enthusiasts came to Topeka last night and his morning to encour age their favorites in the race and to brine them "refreshments" that would bolster up their spirits until they reached their destination. When the drivers and passengers left the National hotel this morning they were clean shaven, fresh from their baths, filled with a big "motor car breakfast" and cheered with the "refreshments" brought to this city by their Kansas City friends. A good night's rest and sleep gave them re newed energy for the final lap in the race to the goal posts today. The cars were backed against the curbing just south of the hotel for the night. Big mud covered sheets were thrown over them and all night a guard watched them watched that no outsiders disturb the cars and also that the drivers and cup chasers did not crawl under their frames and "tinker" in behalf of their scores. When the motor cars left for Kan sas City this mornins the Bulck led them all in score. It has been penal ized only 3 points in the entire trip of 1.500 miles this for a simple adjust ment on the road. The Buick was a four cylinder, 30 horse-pdSver machine, and beside some of the big cars on the run it looked too frail to stand the run. The Ford, the Case and the Reo are tied for second place all three cars being of the lower priced variety. The Ford, a little light wheeled and bodied machine, has been penalized but 6 points. This is a great reeord. The Great Western which has been holding a perfect score up until the run between Wilson and Topeka lost 81 points on account of a broken spring received while going through the mud. This reduces its standing in the list and spoils all chances of win ning the tour. It Is a noticeable fact that all of the leaders in 'the race are cheaper priced cars. The big cars couldn't stand the mud and wear and tear of such a long durability run and they have been forced to the background Jn the scores. After everything is checked up in Kansas City and the cars are examined thoroughly a different story may be told but when, the machines passed through Topeka the lower priced cars held the lead over all others. For instance three Bulcks started from Kansas City on the run. They are still with the cup chasers and they received a telegram in Topeka last night to "Keep coming if it takes you a week." Three other Bulcks from Colorado with private owners at the wheel are with the trophy hunt ers. "I am mighty glad we are near home," said one of the drivers Just before he left this morning.

"There ia all kinds of luck in a run of this kind and it isn't always the best car that makes the best soore- but' the eighteen machines represented here this morning are worthy cf the advertising they will get they are good makes and showed their quality when they stayed in the race. It is pretty hard to tell what will happen when we get home. Some of the machines with heavy penalties now may come out on top and those with almost perfect scores may have a hidden break or weakness that the inspectors will find and penalize to the limit. We are all carrying our rab bits feet with us in hopes of dodging the eyes of the inspectors and 'pulling our cars through as "near the top as possible. The makers of the machines take a great interest in these durabil ity runs." The scores of the ears to date are: No. Car.

To make the first real state fair a success means much for this city and not a knocker on the fair proposition can be found.

The State Journal used to get many thousand calls a day asking for the baseball score... Now very few people have the heart to ask how badly To peka was defeated. With a little win ning streak Topeka baseball support ers would come out en masse but oh, you winning streak! The big search light on top of the Crosby building had a lark spotting out motor cars and carriages on Kan sas avenue last night. The light was also turned on the Washburn campus and buildingsand many a college "couple"' was startled. This state fair search light will start the gossips 'go ing yet. The rnan-about-town wants to know the meaning of this: All Wednesday afternoon; two corsets (Sh!) hung in a front window in the third story of the Throop hotel. No one seems to know what-a sign of that kind means and as for the reason of such an action another mystery. Will some woman explain?

No more affini ties for Ferdinand Plnney Earle, the eccentric artist. He says he's cut them out. Declaring that he made mistakes in seeking happiness in a kaleidoscopic cnange or souimaies, ne has gone to Europe to ask his first wife to take him back. This was learned today from Alexander Harvey, associate editor of Current Literature and also a. close friend of the illustrious inaugurator of the affinity fashion. Earle sailed within the last few days under an assumed name and will go direct to Paris to meet Emily Fisch bacher, whom he sent away so that he and Miss Julia Kuttner of this city might live together at his luxurious home in Monroe, N. Y. He will ask his former wife to take their young child and rejoin him in domestic life. From Mr. Harvey it was learned that Earle would use the compelling argu ment with his wife that he had found affinityism had nothing on every day married life and that he had decided to cut out soulmates in the future. Mr. Harvey also communicated the fact that If Emily Fischbacher refuses to harken to the plea of the man who added a new and effective word to the colloquial vocabulary, Earle might search the cities of Europe for another soulmate. even though at the present time he feels he would like to eliminate the affinity station from his routine time table. o

The following note on dress is from a copy of the Maryland Journal, the original of which was printed August 20, 1773, and the ideas of "A Lover of Nature," as the writer signs him self, in those days would scarcely change at all. after more than 130 years: "That a plain dress is the best ornament of a beautiful woman, I had lately a most convincing proof. The neatness of a daughter of that reli gious sect called Quakers, in one of the public walks, caught my eye never was innocence and elegance more sweetly portrayed. But when T had an opportunity of beholding her face m- astonishment and delight were inexpressible. Her complexion was lovely, her eyes sparkling, her teeth and lips such as Reynolds only could imagine, l contemplated her person with a pleasure till then unknown, and should have pronounced her the most nnisned work of heaven, but that It occurred to me that many of my fair countrywomen appeared inferior to her from only not being satisfied with what heaven had made them tortur ed hair, a superfluity of ribands, idle Jems, etc., etc., were, though meant for so many additions, only so many dis advantages to them, by preventing the eye from Judging rightly of their charms, or indeed beholding them tnrougn tne happiest of all mediums the medium of simplicity. In fact, I am convinced that some deity in his wratn surrerea them to be betraved into tnis dressing folly, from which I most heartily wish that some sensible mortal would endeavor to reclaim them."

Dear Niece Joan: And so mv lit tle girl has decided that she wants to earn her bread and butter and a little cake to go with it instead of hav ing father supply it to her. now, Joan, if you hadn t as house wifely a little sister as ever took real pleasure In making beds and doing dishes I'd do mv best to discourage you. Right oft the reel I'd say, "Why not stay at home and help your moth er?" You see, I've seen so many girls In the business world who would be really earning just as much money and be much better off if they would stay right at home and help .their mothers and save the cost of a ser vant. The wages and board of a maid and what she wastes. I've been told by good authorities, amount to eight or ten dollars and sometimes more, -and there are a good many thousand busi ness girls who don't bring in any more than that. Of course, part of the trouble with that idea is that the girl who stays at home is seldom given any regular wages. When she wants anything, if he feels like it, father gives her the money, but she doesn't have the feel ing of Independence that a girl who gets a nice fat little envelope every Saturday noon enjoys. They had some- talk in the papers a little while ago about starting a movement to have men pay their wives regular salaries. I don't believe that would be possible because to pay a good many married women that l know half they earn as cook, house maid, waitress, seamstress, trained nurse and in half a dozen other ca pacities, their husbands would have to turn over their whole salary and then some. But I do wish that fathers would get the habit of paying the girl who stays at home and helps her mother, as regular a wage as he would the maid whose place she takes. I think it would keep a good many girls out of the business world who don't belong there. Well, niece, that's quite rar aneia from what I started- to say which was that as long as you had a sister who liked housework better than, you do and who could help your mother all that was necessary, I wouldn't forbid the banns with your new sweetheart a business career. Will I write you some advice from my store of experience? What a ridiculous request, niece. What is the one thing that every body likes to give and nobody wants to receive? You know, perfectly that you d have to disable my typewriter or put my arms out of commission to keep me from deluging you with it. And that wouldn't do any good De- cause then I'd take to dictating. Of course I lenow' you -only ask to flatter me and I'm glad of it, Joan. A good brain and a furid of common sense are the first, requisites for bus iness success but Ihe third is being able to manage people and I'm glad you evidently have that ability even if you do use it on. Your liuinoie uia Auni. P. S. On second thought I think I'll place the ability to manage peo ple second. P. P. S. Or maybe first. WILL ATTEND AERO MEET J. A. Drexel and Henry YVejman at Belmont Park. New York, Sept. 8. Two prominent American aviators. J. Armstrong Drexel and Henry Wevman, both of whom are now In Europe, have given notice to the committee In charge of the international flying meet that they will be on hand to compete in prac tically all the programmed events. The meet is to be held at Belmont park next month. Weyman, during the last year, has been making excellent records in vari ous parts of Europe. His most not able feat thus far was his attempt yes terday to win the $20,000 Mlchelin prize offered for a flight from Paris to the Puy-De-Dome, a distance of 260 miles. In six hours. He failed by a narrow margin on account of fog and bad weather. Weyman expects to come to America some time during the pres ent month and will be at Belmont park with his machine some time before the opening of the meeting. Drexel, who was a star performer at the Lanark meeting in Scotland and who until recently held the world's al titude record, will also come to this country some time during the present month. He will use a Bleriot mono plane. Other new entrants to the Interna tional meet are Wilfred A. Dunn of London, who will use a Teller mono plane: Adolph Warchalowski, an Aus trian who recently made a flight over the Imperial castle or luxemDOurg; Karl Illner. a nuoll of Henry Farman, and Alec Ogilvie, selected as the third British representative In England's in ternational team with James Radley and Claude Grahame-White. John B. Moissant, the former Chi cagoan, who this week completed his flight from Paris to London, will be a competitor for the International prizes if he is able to get a suitable aeroplane in time. He expects to secure a 100-horse power Bleriot in which Leblanc recent ly made 63 miles an hour. In an In terview cabled to this side, Moissant explains that he does not want to fly In his own country until ne is certain that he can make a good showing. The aeroplane on which he made his Paris-London flight is pretty badly damasred.- and it will take some time to repair it, besides which he does not think it powerrui enougn.

DRUGGISTS ARRESTED. Three Charged With Illegal Sales of Jamaica Ginger. Today there fell the blow upon the drug stores which the police, after their investigation of the Jamaica gin ger trade In Topeka, promised would be delivered, and three proprietors were booked at the police station be fore noon. Other arrests, it is predict ed, will follow. "I do not consider that I am mak ing an experiment," replied Chief of Trlin .Jenkins todav when the sugges tion was made tht the liquor selling ordinances of the city were not so drawn as to prohibit the sale of an ordinanry commodity like Jamaica ginger which has always been sold by druggists without restriction as a medicine. "Jamacia ginger is sold regularly In Topeka as an Intoxicant by a number of druggists. It is a far more harmful poison than the ordinary bad whisky handled by bootleggers. We have stopped the sale of Peruna and Hostetter's Bitters, both of which used formerly to be sold to evade the prohibitory law. and I believe we can stop the reckless sale of Jamaica gin ger. I am laying my hands on every druggist against whom I can get evi dence and I do not propose to be satis fled with trying a single case as a test of our power. We will take them all and if our evidence Is sufficient to satisfy the police court of a violation of the law we will stay with our cases as far as the druggists care to fight them. The selling of Jamaica ginger now in Question is a violation of -the spirit of the law if not of the letter." Some good detective work has been done in connection with the present cases, which are against the Chester field drug store, the Brown drug store at 404 Kansas avenue and the Wilson drug store at 414 East Fourth street. Patrolman G. W. Fribance worked up the cases and made the three arrests. The names booked are J. W. Brown, Ralph Lowry and W. H. Wilson. Ixwry is only a clerk at the Chester field, his name being taken in the ab sence of the real proprietor. FREDDIE GEBHARD DEAD. Was at One Time Reported Engaged to Lily Langtry. New York. Sept. 8.

Mother Is Dead and the Father Sues. IN A SISTERS' SCHOOL Head of St. Teresa Academy. Testifies in Court. Judge Dana Takts the Case Under Adriseruent. A suit for the custody of Marie Br j- j mlch, the 11-year-old granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bromlch and of Mrs. Sarah Butler, now awaiting de-; cision, in the Shawnee county district court, commands considerable interest among residents of the East side where the two families are well known. Its trial occupied most of the Wednesday, session of court. Marie Bromlch was born to the mar riage of Susie Butler and Walter Bro mlch, son of Joseph Bromlch who is proprietor of the Topeka Steam Boiler works and a wealthy man. While the child was yet small the parents were divorced and each remarried. Maris was awarded to her mother's custody but spent most of her time after com ing of school age in the St. Teresa academy at Kansas City. In vacation times she visited in Topeka with her mother and with both sets of grand parents. On July 23 of this year the mother, who for three years had been the wife of Gus Miller, a locomotive inspector for the Santa Fe, died. The action for possession of the child was then brought on the part of the father. Among those who appeared upon the witness stand were the father and step father of Marie Bromlch. Mrs. Sarah Butler, the maternal grandmother, and the two other grandparents, Mr. and Mrs Joseph Bromlch. Another witness was' Sister Evelyn, president of the St. Teresa academy. When the nun took her seat on the witness stand she explained her ..pres ence in Topeka as due to her school's Interest in the Insurance money to be paid by the Knights and Ladies of Se curity on a policy upon the life of Mrs. Gus Miller. It had been shown In other testimonv that Mrs. Miller had made the school a beneficiary in the sum of $1,000 in consideration of an agreement that Marie's education be continued there so far as the curriculum of tho academy went. Sister Evelyn testified regarding the general character of the school, which was shown to be a good one. and stated that special attention was being paid to the musical training of the little girl who had shown a great natural aptitude in that direction. There was no argument in the case, the point at Issue being merely the nnestion of the best interest of the child and the testimony covered the apparent ability and qualifications of the respective grandparents 10 care iur, the wishes of the dead mother and the child's own preference as to her own disposition. Mrs. Jjuner. a large, cap able appearing woman of middle age. is now in possession of Marie, who ex pressed her own content at making her home with her when not at school. Marie is anxious to continue at the regular terms of the school and Mrs. Butler expressed her own intention of keeping her there if awarded her cus tody.

As Mrs. Butler is in only modest cir cumstances, she has at various times worked for wages in laundries and is now keeping a boarding- house on East Crane street. Some small effort was made to assail her habits of language and two or three witnesses testified to having heard her employ emphatic and mildly profane expressions. That she had fallen short in any respect in her efforts to take the place of the little girl's mother, there was nothing to prove. That her award to the custody of Mr. and Mrs. Bromlch, the father's parents, would probably result In con siderable material benefit to her was pretty well established, as the elder Bromlch testified to his wish to pro vide for her In every detail until she should come of age and to keep the fcmall estate left by the mother intact until that time. The relations between them and the little girl, according to all the evidence, have always been af fectionate, so there was no reason ap parent for believing the child would suffer any disappointment if given to them, despite her own preference for the other grandmother. Nowhere in the case were the claims of the father, Walter Bromich, particu larly asserted. He Is employed in his father s factory and has contributed to the child's support, but his own claim for the little girl's possession was based upon the ability of his father and mother to look after, rather than upon his own. His second marriage re sulted in a divorce suit. MR. HOOD MOVES UP. Popular Santa Fe Man Goes to West ern Union. The Western Union Telegraph com pany has captured another Santa Fe prize. G. D. Hood, who for the last eight years has been with the Santa Fe telegraph department as wire chief and manager in charge of the depart ment and as chief clerk to L. M. Jones, superintendent of telegraph, has re signed his position in Topeka to tako up the work of district superintendent of traffic of the Western Union in Seattle. The appointment of Mr. Hood to this new high position with the Western Union takes effect September 15 and he will leave Topeka at once for his new home in the west. It was but a short time ago that the Santa Fe lost C. H. -"3aunt as superin tendent of telegraph to the Western Union. Mr. Gaunt accepted the place of general superintendent of the west ern district with headquarters in San Francisco. Mr. Hood becomes? district superintendent of traffic of the second district which includes the states of Washington and Oregon. Mr. Hood is well known in Topeka and was one of the most popular of Santa Fe men. He Is a young man, having been In the railroad work but 15 years. His eight years In the Sant Fe telegraph department in Topeka has made him many friends among the people of the city as well as In rail road circles. Mr. Hood commenced work on the Inter-Colonial railroad in Canada 5 years ago. He worked with the West ern Union as operator after that and then took a position with the Northern Pacific in Helena, Montana. He was in that city six years and then came to Topeka with the anta Fe. His successor as chief clerk to Mr. Jones, superintendent of telegraph of the Santa Fe, has not been named. It is probable that when an appointment is made an assistant to superintendent of telegraph will be" made also. Big: Prt- of the Town Burns. Watertown, S. D., Sept. 8.

Glimpses ot training for the feeble minded were given in the r paper of Miss Eva L. Eibbs, teacher in the in stitution at Winfield, Kan., in a paper read this morning before the sixth semi-annual conference of the state board of control. Dr. C. W. Jones of Olathe, treated upon, the diphtheria epidemic at the school for the deaf. Dr. A. I Skoog of the University of Kansas discussed prognosis in nervous diseases, and Dr. John Punton of the University Medical college, Kansas City, Mo., read a paper. In the after noon State Architect Charles H. Chan dler treated upon Institution Archi tecture. He was followed by Profes sor H. W. Charles of the Boys' In dustrial school, Topeka, who read a paper on Eugenics. Miss Ebbs in part said: "At this advanced age of modern educational methods, men and women are becoming awakened to the Im portance of training the backward child who is not considered defective, but who does not have the use of all his faculties. This strange backward ness of great masses of school child ren has caused deepest perplexity and concern among educators. "It is thought that their develop ment is arrested on account of physi cal defects, poverty and bad surround ings. Some wonderful transformations have been made under the new system of training. i "With this intellectual progress we are glad to note the tendency to give more special attention to the feeble minded. Along the lines of intellectual activity manual training has proved to be an important branch of education. Happily for the feeble-minded as the training of the hand promotes mental activity and produces real effects." Miss Ebs then refers to the State Home for Feeble Minded at Winfield. and the efficient management by Dr. I. W. Clark and his assistant. Dr. F. C. Cave. She continued: L "Three years ago while in conversa tion with one of the instructors. Dr. Clark made this remark: 'We intend to do something more than feed and. herd these children.' It was then that man ual training was introduced into this school. The first year's progress was slow but gave promise of better re sults. W ith renewed efforts and a lit tie more determination the design be came complete. "So step by step we have gradually improved. Manual training has had a refining influence over the children. Some who were almost unmanageable are easier controlled and are doing good work. Each year the work has .been exhibited at the winneia cnautau- pua assembly. It has been said by competent Judges that some of the work hardly can be excelled by normal stud ents. "We aim to place each child capable of Improvement where he can have ev ery aid. in attaining the power to-un derstand at least one thing well enough to produce it. We begin with the kin dergarten where first grade work, songs and games with the simpler forms of manual work are taught. In the preparatory manual department plain sewing, rug making, knitting, crochet ing, bead work, simple fancy work. clay modeling, drawing, crayon and water colors are taught successfully. "In the advanced manual training department instruction is given In ma chine sewing, Irish crochet, lace mak ing, embroidery of various kinds, fancy work m many iorms, clay modeling, wood carving, pyropraphy, pierced cod per and brass, raffia .work, reed and Indian basketry. "The grade department consists of grade work only. There is a regular progression from the lower to the high er grades and pupils are promoted as soon as they are qualified. As a class the feebleminded have dull perception feeble powers of attention, uncertain WZ41 Odd lot ladies' fancy oxfords, worth up to $4 Friday, 69c Sale Men's $5.00 Odd Coats' $1.00 memory and defective Judgment; there fore the instruction must be direct, sim ple and practical. Every effect is made to make this department interesting. "Many of the children are employed In the various departments of the in stitution. We hope the coming years will bring more room, with a fuller and better equipment. This will enable us to make a showing that will compare" favorably with older institutions. In the year many visitors have expressed tnemseives in pleasing terms of the" children's work." NEGRO MASONS HERE. King Solomon's Grand Lodge" Is In Session.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATS JOUBNAIr THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1910. WOMAfHH AIR. Mrs. Lillian S. Smith Takes Trip in Topeka Balloon. Ascent Is Made at 5:30 in the Afternoon. ABOVE THE CLOUDS. Altitude of Nearly a Mile Is Beached. Safe Landing Is Made Near Val ley Falls. The second time a gas balloon made a successful voyage in Kansas a wo man went on the trip. She is Mrs. Lillian Soule Smith of New York city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Jacobs of 231 Western avenue. Mr. Jacobs is president of the Western ero association. This association sent up its balloon the second time in Topeka last evening at 5:30 o'clock. Besides Mrs. Smith. E. S. Cole, secretary of the association, and H. E. Honeywell of St. Louis, pilot, made the ascent. Reaching an altitude of 4,600 feet the party landed two and one-half miles east of Valley Falls. They returned to Topeka over the Santa Fe, arriving here at 10:45 p. m. Another trip may be made this evening. Later an all night voyage will be undertaken. The Balloon Topeka as It Appeared in Midair. The balloon is forty-two feet In diameter and in the air is seventy-two feet from top to the basket. It holds 40,000 cubic feet of gas and has a lift ing power of 800 pounds. It is made of the best grade of cotton, treated with a special varnish. It has been pur chased by the Topeka Balloon club. On-2 of the most enthusiastic members is R. Kmerson. He recently returned from France, where he made a trip of six teen hours in a racing balloon at a special invitation on account of his membership in the American Aero club. The Topeka balloon was filled at the same place as when it made its first trip Tuesday evening, from the high pressure gas main in Westlawn park just south of West street and Tenth avenue. A long rubber nozzle was cor rected with the gas main and the bot tom of the balloon. The huge bag was spread out on a canvas and was cov ered by its net. To the meshes of the net were hooked bags of sand weigh ing about thirty pounds each. As the balloon was inflated and be fran to bulge up, these sacks were transferred mesh by mesh until when the huge bag was distended with gas. the sand flacks were hooked on the foot ropes, t end of the net which was to har.g just above the basket. Then the basket was made fast to the ropes and the netting. The sacks were slipped from the end meshes of the net end allowed to glide down the ropes which were attached to the edge of the car. "Three sacks to each rope," shouted Captain Honeywell. The members of the club and others guided the sacks to the edge of the bnsket and then they and others held the car to the ground. Towering above them the huge white bag swayed in the wind. At this juncture Mr. Honeywell demur r.J at the advisability of taking Mrs Smith up in the air on account of the wind, but finally decided to do so. When all of the party were In the basket a gang of men, gathering around the car. guided it to a space away from the trees. The basket rose in the air until on a level with the car riers' shoulders. Captain Honeywell threw out a little sand ballast and in tended to start, but did not until after several attempts and Just the right amount of ballast had been freed. The balloon is so delicately poised that Just enough sand must be let loose to make it rise easily and no more. As it left the ground it bore nearly due north. It was going about as fast as a slow trottinsr horse At 5:45 o'clock it crossed the Kan sas river. Then, according to the voy agers, they were at an altitude ol 3,300 feet, or 1.000 feet higher than the highest point attained on the first trip. At 5:55 the balloon was 4.600 feet above the earth and from Topeka ap peared as a tiny speck At 6:10 the party began to descend, landing at 7 o'clock in a field near Valley Falls. A farmer with a mule team and wason hauled the balloon and party to the Valley Falls depot. When they arrived in Topeka a rush was made for the depot dining room. In spite of a hearty lunch in midair thev were very hungry and also en thusiastic over their trip. The most enthusiastic was Mrs. Smith. She is an athletic woman, given to horseback riding, but votes ballooning tne great est sport of all. "This was my first balloon trip, but it will not be my last." she said. "The ascent was so smooth that I scarcely realized I was moving. When we were hih in the air I saw both Lawrence and Topeka at the same time. They looked from that distance like little toy towns. "I couldn't distinguish the trees.

(Continued from Pager One.) velopment of our natural resources must go the developement of our great waterways and railroads that there can be no general prosperity without railroad prosperity; that our railroads and waterways are the connecting links which make our resources avail able, and that the practical value of our natural resources depends largely upon the efficiency of our transporta tion service. The National Health. The conservation of- the national health deserves to be emphasized even when we have under consideration this general subject from purely a business standpoint. When we consider that tuberculosis alone costs the people of the state of New York over two hun dred million dollars per year, and that it is a preventable disease, and that that two hundred million annual ex pense can be practically all saved; that it might be used as capital to give to millions of people profitable and wholesome occupation the relation of the health moyement to the busi ness interests of the country is self- evident. You, of course, recognize that this suggestion is based upon entire confi dence in having the co-operation or the daily press I have no doubt about that whatever. Newspapers are not only most potent factors in spreading enlightenment, but they can always be depended on to take enthusiastic hold of any movement that is honestly and disinterestedly for the general good. This whole subject of conservation is fundamentally a business proposi tion a question of managing the peo ple's business with the same care and foresight that we put into private business a question of using the na tion's capital in a way that will pro duce a regular, steady and proper in come year after year, and at the same time so safeguard the principal that the people of these United States may go on as a nation In business indefin itely. History tells of the many peoples who have spent their capital and dis appeared from the face of the earth. Let us so organize this nation's busi ness that it may go down the cen turies as history's exception to the general rule of rise and fall. As we point with pride, honor and gratitude to the signers of our Declaration of Independence, and the makers of our constitution, so may the coming gen erations of Americans, having in mind the fates of other peoples, look back with gratitude to us, and have occa sion to exclaim. "See what would also have been our lot had it not been for the foresight and business judgment or our ancestors of the twentieth cen tury worthy successors of the great men who founded this government of the people, by the people 'and for the people, not only of their own time, but for all time." PINCHOTS ADDRESS. Former Chief Forester Recites the History of Conservation Movement. Gifford Pinchot addressed the con gress as follows: "Like nearly every great reform, conservation first passed through a period of agitation and general ap proval. During this period, it met with little opposition, for as yet it in terfered with no man's private profit. From the beginning of the world, the preaching of righteousness in general terms has been contemplated with en tire equanimity by the ;men who rise in violent protest the moment their own privilege, graft or advantage comes practically into question. That protest marks the second phase of the reform. "Within the last two years, conser vation has passed out of the realm of an unimpeachable general principle into that of a practical fighting at tempt to get things done. It has be gun to step on the toes of the bene ficiaries and the prospective benefi ciaries of unjust privilege, and the re sulting opposition, considering the quarters whence it comes, is one of the best of proofs that conservation is a live movement for the general good. "The people believe in conservation. Now when any great movement has established itself so firmly in the pub lic mind that a direct attack upon it will not pay, the regular method is to approve it in general terms, and then condemn its methods and its men. So now the demand from the opponents of conservation is not at all that we shall abandon the principle of the greatest good of us all for the longest time in using our natural resources. The soft pedal conservationists merely ask that conservation as applied shall be what they call rational, safe, and sane. Safe and sane legislation, as that expression is used by the men who use it most, means legislation not unfriendly to the continued control of our public affairs by the special inter ests. Safe and sane conservation, as that expression is used by these same men. means conservation so carefully sterilized that it will do the special in terests no harm and the people no good. The One Great Obstacle. ."When the conservation movement began to tell, it developed without de lay that the one great obstacle to prac tical progress lay in the political pow er or tne special interests. Every ef fort to conserve any natural resource for the general welfare was met by the legislative agents of the men who wanted to exploit it for their private profit. The effort to get things done in conservation taught us clearly, un mistakably, and with little delay, that so long as the political domination of the great business Interests endures, their corrupt control of legislation will carry with it the monopolistic control of the natural resources also This is what we face today in the ef fort to apply conservation. "The fundamental principles of con servation are few and simple. One of the first is that the natural resources and natural advantages belong to all the people, and should be developed. protected, and perpetuated directly for the benefit of all the people, and not mainly for the iroflt of a few. "Another is that the natural re sources still owned bv the people which are necessaries of life, like coal and water power, should remain in public ownership and should be dis posed of only under lease for limited periods, and with fair compensation to the public for the rights granted. "As to our waters: "1. Every stream should be made useful for every purpose In which it can be made to serve the public. The preparation of a broad plan is needed without delay for the development of our waterways for navigation, domes tic supply, irrigation, drainage and power. "2. Every power site now in state or federal control should be held so, and should be disposed of only under lease for a limited time and with fair com pensation to the public. "3. In the development of our wa terways, the co-operation of the states with the nation is essential for the general welfare. Forests. "As to our forests: "1. All forests necessarv for the pub lic welfare should be in the public ownership, such as the national forests already in existence, the proposed Ap palachian and White mountain na tional forests and the state forests of New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and other states. "2. The protection of forests against fire is the first duty in forestry of states and nation alike. The way to stop fires is to get men to them as soon as they begin. The maintenance and. extension of forest fire patrol by the nation, the states and their subdi visions, and by associations or private citizens who own timber lands, is ab solutely necessary. "3. The protection of existing forests by wise use is the first step in for estry. Reforestration is the second. "4. Land bearing forests should be taxed annually on the land value alone and the timber crop should be taxed when it is cut, so that private forestry may be encouraged. "5. The private ownership of forest land is a public trust, and the people have both the right and the duty to regulate the use of such lands in the general interest. Lands. "As to lands: "1. Every acre of land should be put to whatever use will make it most use ful to all the people. "2. The fundamental object of our land policy should be the making and maintenance of permanent prosperous homes. Land monopoly and excessive holdings must not be tolerated. "3. Settlement must be encouraged by every legitimate means on all land that will support homes Thus the tillable land in public ownership with in and without the national forests should be disposed of in fee simple to actual home makers, but not to specu lators. "4. The first and most needy thing to do for our cultivated lands is to preserve their fertility by preventing erosion. "5. The non-irrigable arid public grazing lands should be administered by the government in the interest of the small stockmen and the home maker until they can pass directly into the hands of actual settlers. "6. Rights to the surface of the pub lic land should be separated from rights to the forests upon it, and the minerals beneath it, and each should be held subject to separate disposal. The timber and stone act should be repealed. Minerals. "As to our minerals: "1. Those still remaining in govern ment ownership should not be sold, but should be leased upon terms favorable for their development up to the full requirements of our people. Until leg islation to this effect can be enacted, temporary withdrawals of land contain ing coal, oil, -as, and phosphate rock, are required in order to prevent spec ulation and monopoly. "2. It is the clear duty of the fed eral government, as well as that of the states In their sphere, to provide, through investigation, legislation, and regulation against loss of life and waste of mineral resources in mining. "With regard to national efficiency: "1. The maintenance of national and state conservation commissions is nec essary to ascertain and make public the facts as to our natural resources. Such commissions supply the funda mental basis for co-operation between the nation and the states for the de velopment and protection of the foun dation of our prosperity. "2. A national health service is need ed to act in co-operation with similar agencies within the states for the. pur pose of lengthening life, decreasing suf fering, and promoting a vigor and ef ficiency "of our people." "In the effort to conserve our nat ural resources, we recognize that com binations against the public welfare which extend beyond tates lines, can be met effectively only by agencies equally capable of operating across such boundar ies. It is clear that the control of in terstate commercial power is possible only by the use of interstate federal power. We are opposed to the exten sion of state Jurisdiction at the expense of refil control by the people over mon opoly as in the case of waterpower. "While I do not believe that the state alone can carry out the conservation program in the face of interstate at tacks upon it, I do not fail to recog nize the Teat and useful part which the states must play In this great move ment for the permanent welfare of all our people. Also, I appreciate that in much of the work ahead co-operation between the states and the nation is an essential condition of success. But when I see the special interests at tempting to take refuge behind the doctrine of state's rights. I propose to say so. "It is not possible in a speech like this to give the details of propositions covering so wide a neia as the conser vation question to which I have re ferred. To carry out this program In the coming and future sessions of con gress and of the state legislature, the friends of conservation will devote themselves with ever increasing energy and ever increasing prospects Of suc cess, as conservation more and more generally wins not only the belief, which it has already, but the determin ed fighting support of our people."

HE REFUSES THE BEElt Addresses Two Big Audiences in the ETening. Classes Himself as a Politician and a Writer. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 8. Colonel Roosevelt ;ut in the scheduled nouns of his visit here by roaming about the city at will, making his own program as he went. He inspected the city trades schools, attended two luncheons and a dinner, took an automobile ride to White Fish bay, a summer resort on the lake shore near Milwaukee, and addressed two huge audiences last night. Late in the evening he went to his, car to start early this morning for Freeport, 111., where ha is to speak, and for Chicago, which he is to visit later in the day. At the boys' trades school where the youths of Milwaukee are taught useful occupations, chiefly mechanical the colonel spent nearly an hour in questioning the instructors and stu dents about their work. He' refused absolutely to give any advice. "I'm here to learn, not to teach," he said. "What work does your father do?" he asked a boy of 14, who is learning to be a pattern maker. "He is a pattern maker," the boy replied. "Fine," exclaimed the colonel. -He was told that many mechanics send their sons to the school. He went through the place questioning the boys who were learning plumbing, carpentering and engine making. "It is important that each man should do a little more than pull his own weight in the world," he said as the boys on the second floor gath ered around him. "And it is of vital consequence to him to have him trained so that he can begin early in stead of leaving him to be trained in a haphazard way.: That is what this school is doing." The cplonel shook hands with all the boys. Then the colonel went to the West side to the girls' school. He saw the girls at work there learning to sew and cook. Around the walls of the sewing room were exhibits of the work done there from simple aprons which almost any one can make, to some thin and hand embroidered things to manufacture which, the col onel was told, it takes a long course of training. "I don't think a girl has really been educated unless she can do this work," said the colonel as he gazed on the samples held up for his opinion. The colonel was led to the kitchen and as soon as hir arrived there he asked if he mightjihave some of the potato soup which "had been prepared for the girls' "lunch. He ate his soup while the crowd looked on, and said he never had tasted better. Then Colonel Roosevelt said he wanted to go to the Deutscher club. The members of the club had been notified that he was coming and were waiting for him. As he mounted the steps of the club house the Germans gathered around him and half carried him inside. They sans "Hoch Soli er Leben" through several times before they stopped to talk. "I wish I cculd pose as your invited guest," said the colonel. "I found out last night that no arrangement had been made for a visit to the Deutscher club and I said I was going there anv- way. When I was in Berlin I told the emperor that I should visit this club again in the near future and that I would bring his regard? ine Germans sang "Hoch Soil er Leben" again, and raised their tall green glasses, filled with German wine, to drink to the colonel's health. Emil Von Schleinitz. who is an old friend of Colonel Roosevelt, said: "The Germans- are glad to have you back here again. This is a German city, as you know. We permit the pub lication of English newspapers here, but otherwise we don't encourage the use of foreign language." After the speeches were over they shouted "Prosit" and drank to the colonel again. They sang some Ger man songs and gave the colonel a Ger man luncheon. From the club the colonel went to another luncheon at his hotel, after which he held a reception there. Then he was driven to White Fish bay and SAWDUST BOX AT SQUASH CENTER. met more Germans. They brought him a stein of beer, but the colonel de clined with thanks. The dinner was served at the Press club, where there were German and American news paper men and a German dinner. Then the colonel went out to make his speech. He was scheduled origin ally to speak in the auditorium, but the building would hold only a part of the crowd and another was engaged for an overflow meeting. Colonel Roosevelt spoke at the overflow meet ing first and then went to the audi torium. The American government, declared the colonel, was bound to be the most successful form of government on earth. "I am aware that we need cer tain changes In the law." continued Colonel Roosevelt. "Take, for Instance, our corpora tions; a corporation is a necessary in strument of modern business. Steam, electricity and the growth of cities, of communication and the means of transmitting news, all combined in bringing into effect a new type of business organization. But corpora tions are necessary. I would protect them absolutely in their rights. Re member friends, that it is a very dif ficult thing to get honest treatment from any one unless you give honest treatment yourself. "I would not ask the corporations to behave well as a factor. I would tell them that they had to behave well because If they did not, we would make them. "The corporation is entitled to its rights'. It should be protected in its rights, but it is not entitled to vote and it is not entitled to own any man In public life or to send any man into public life." Leaving the hippodrome, the col onel re-entered his automobile and was hurled along densely crowded streets to the auditorium, where for several minutes after his appearance upon the platform he was cheered. Speaking especially to the newspa per men. Col. Roosevelt talked to them of the Importance of their work and declared that in some ways their profession ranked above all others. The editor and publisher and writer who honestly and truly placed facts before the public, he said, rendered an important public service and, in fact, was practically holding a public office. "If a newspaperman is neu tral In the performance of his work, does neither good nor evil but Insists upon being neutral on all moral ques tions, he simply is filling a position with which you can not say much in blame and not much in the way of praise," said the colonel. "He must have high ideals, and he must b able to get those ideals adopted by a reasonable proportion of his fellows If his profession is to rank as high aa it ought to." A newspaper, he insisted, should tell the truth, and the whole truth, and should carefully refrain from scandalizing the character of good men, although it should be fearless in exposing corruption wherever it might be found. "The politician I am a politician and the writer for periodicals and the press again, I am one of them should always bear In mind that the eighth and ninth commandments are equally binding: "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.' The colonel concluded his address by picturing the American republic as the hope of the democracy of the world. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago. Sept.. S. WHEAT .Although expectation of a bearish crop report this afternoon by the government made wheat a little scarcer at the opening today, rest in commission orders to buy about a rally. A quite general idea was that their report would raise the condition of spring wheat rrom Mc last month to 64c or 65c.

Edwards, a former Washington correspondent, in an article on the late Senator P. B. Plumb in the New York Mail, relates this story: "I had occasion to call upon Senator Plumb one evening at his rooms. When I opened the door in response to a loud and hearty summons to enter, I at first saw no one. But I had never before tseen such a collection of newspapers and unbound documents as the room contained, not even in the office of a newspaper exchange editor. "They were scattered about every where, the floor was literally carpeted with them and they were stacked up in the corners and on shelves placed against the walls. For a few moments I gazed about me in silent wonder. Then hearing a rustling in an alcove of the room, as of someone turning over a newspaper, I discovered Senator Plumb all but hidden behind an opened news paper and dashing through it at break neck speed, seemingly taking in an en tire column at a single glance. 'Well, senator,' I said in my sur prise, 'this is somewhat unusual.' "He smiled. 'This is where and how I keep in touch with my state,' he said. 'I have every newspaper published in Kansas, daily or weekly, sent to me here. I read every one of them faith fully. I do not look at the Associated Press reports or at the reprint matter, but I read carefully the local news. 'I also read the editorials very care fully. I am especially careful to read the editorials of the Democratic papers. In this way I am able to keep abreast of the latest twist in Kansas thought, just as from the local news columns and the letters of the country corres pondents I learn of the latest happen ings to and the views of John Smith and John Jones. 'They say in the senate, I believe, that I know everything worth knowing about Kansas. Well, I try to learn all about it that is worth knowing: and it is only by taking and reading thorough ly the papers of the state that I have been able to keep in touch with it, Its people and its prevailing opinions. But it's a Job. It keeps me busy evening after evening. It turns my quarters into an old newspaper scrap heap.' And the Junior senator from the Sunflower state looked ruefully at the mass of discarded papers hiding the carpet com pletely." !ILLIONAlRES IN DANGER. Half Bushel of Stones Fell In Rocke feller's Backyard Yesterday. New York, Sept. 8. John D. Rocke feller's New York home is now in the danger zone. A half bushel of stones, some of them as big as paving- blocks, rained into the backyard where he has his conservatory late last night, hurled by a powerful blast of dynamite from fip excavation nearby. Rockefeller's caretaker, Nicholas Staunton, who was alarmed by tjie "I have not allowed my children to vy iu me oacayara tor over a month because of the danser from nearby blasting."

Comparison Between Canadian and American Roads. Prosperity for ETeryone Who Work With Them. MAKE FARMERS RICH. Canadians Hare Odd Ideas of This Country. Cther I terns of General Inter est in Traffic World. Coming in the midst of the contro versy in this country over the ques tion of the proposed raise in railway rate, the interview at Washington re cently w ith Chief Railway Commis sioner Mabee of Canada has attracted widespread attention and comment in business and commercial circles from one end of the country to the other. In this interview, which followed a conference with United States Inter state Commerce Commissioner Knapp, the Canadian official made the declara tion that the railway construction in Canada this year would be larger even than last year, when 1.500 miles of road were built, and that Canada's present activity in railroad construc tion had never been equaled in any country. Taking this fact, compared with the shrinking condition of railway build ing in the United States, as a subject, and emphasizing the point that the gov ernment Jurisdiction over railroads is greater in Canada than in the United States, the New York Times, in an oditorial entitled "Canada's Square Deal to the Railroads," says: Passes to Chosen I'ew. "Passenger rates are 3 cents a mile uniformly. Indiscriminate issue of passes is forbidden, but it is specifical ly allowed in the cases of editors and legislators, which may be significant of much regarding the difference between the states of public opinion and legisla tion on the respective sides of the bor der. It is not to be denied that there is another side to this engaging side of the picture which Commissioner Mabee did not enlarge upon. Readers of the Canadian journals are aware that there are scandals of both construction and operation, and that these are moot points between the parties. But the fact that such topics are matters of political differences itself is in sharp contrast with rivalry between all Amer ican parties in 'soaking' the railways. "There are points on the record of the Canadian commission which are in equally sharp contrast with the policy of our own commission. At the pres ent time our commission is semioffi cially prejudging subjects which must come before it for decision. The com panies are seeking to raise their rates, and the inspired statement is made that the companies are cooking their accounts for the purpose of making out their case. This may or may not he right, but such treatment is not sympathetic, at least. Selecting topics on which both commissions have made decisions it is apparent that the Cana dian commission gives the companies as well as the shippers a 'square deal.' AH Given a Square. Deal. "The Canadian practice Is to estab lish standard rates neither maximum nor minimum and not to be over solicitous regarding special or com modity rates, or competitive rates, so long as they are lower than the stand ard rates. Much of the friction be tween our roads and our commission springs from the attempts of the com mission to supervise minutely an en tire class of subjects of the most con tentious character. This class of sub jects the Canadian commission leaves to the conditions or competition, sub ject only to the most general oversight regarding the reasonableness of the action taken. "Generally speaking the explana tion of these differences seems to be that Canada is still in the condition we were in some years ago. In Can ada railways are still appreciated as creators of wealth, and more are wanted, which are being supplied ex actly as we got ours, by subsidies and land grants and allowance of profits which In a few year will be thought exorDuant. "In Canada it is still thought that the railways make the farmers rich. Here it is thought that the farmers make the railways rich, and that the railways rob the farmers, and all oth er shippers. although every shipper makes a profit or he would not ship. In Canada they are seeking by fair treatment and generous inducements to get results which we are trying to get by big stick methods. In the old, bad ways we throve as never country throve before, although Canada is rivaling us now. It remains to be seen what w ill be the result of the road we have taken lately." SENDS ANOTHER AT CUMMINS. President Ripley of Santa Fe Answers Last letter. Chicago, Sept. 8. President K. P. Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad has sent to Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa a reply to the senator's letter of August 17 to Mr. Ripley concerning the capitalization and valuation of railroads for rate making purposes. The letter defends at length the railroads against the charges made by Senator Cummins in his Chautauqua speecnes. i Riplev makes me iuuuin6 points: 1.

SOME EPIGRAMS BY HTXiIi. Railroad Man Gives Thoughts on Late Conservation Plans. St. Paul, Sept. 8. With, the dazzling nresidential and ex-presidential lumi naries shedding their powerful rays elsewhere, the light of the National Conservation congress became visible Wednesday. The two sessions addressed by James J. Hill, Senator Beveridge, Sec retary Wilson and others were well at tended and enthusiastic. Mr. Hill let fall showers of epigrams at the expense of the national govern ment and was applauded Mr. Hill spoke with a vigor of ges ture that gave the lie to his gray beard. The following excerpts stood out from his address: "The need of the hour is to conserve conservation." "The time is ripe to distinguish be tween real and fanciful conservation." "The national machine is too big and too distant, slow, cumbrous and costly." "Irrigation would have been more cheaply done if turned over to private enterprises or committed to the sev eral states." "Coal mining must be carried on upon a large scale to be commercially possible." "The use of water within a state is the property of the state and ean not be taken from it." "The worst scandals of state land misappropriation are insignificant when compared with the record of the national." "The soil is the ultimate employer f all industry and the greater source f all wealth." "In 1908 the excess of American ex ports over imports was $666,000,000; jBjftllgyJs Erery woman's heart thrills at th cooing and prattling of a baby, and motherhood is her highest and purest Joy.

"Spendthrift man and spendthrift nation must face at last the same law and the same penalty." OXY-ACBTSLESE IX TOPEKA. Santa Fe Shops Here First to Use Tills New Force. G. H. Emerson, now assistant to the general manager of the Great North ern, and H. W. Jacobs, assistant super intendent of motive power of the Santa Fe in Topeka, were among the first to experiment with and extensively adopt oxy-acetylene for welding and cutting purposes in railway shops. Both the Great Northern shops at St. Paul, Minn., and the Santa Fe shops at Topeka, are equipped with central generating plants for the oxygen, and acetylene, which are piped to the dif ferent departments in. which they are used. That the value of oxy-acetylene for use in railway shops is becoming quite generally recognized is evident. The. use of a portable plant on wrecking cars for cutting the draw bars between derailed engines and ten ders ana ror other purposes of this kind would seem to possess great nos- sibilities. A most Important feature of the use of oxy-acetylene. which has developed gradually, is the reclaiming of various parts of locomotive and car equipment which have become badly worn, cracked or broken. While the saving in the value of the material amounts to considerable, the greatest saving is often in the shorter time the equipment is held out of service while the necessary repairs are being made.

Kansas City, Sept. 8. The will of Mrs. Fannie E. Vrooman, who died Au gust 3 of a bullet wound, self-inflicted, at her home, 504 Woodland avenue, has been filed in the probate court. In the will, which schedules an estate of J50.000, Mrs. "Vrooman cuts off her husband with a bequest of $5, and stip ulates that any beneficiary contesting the will shall receive nothing. The husband is Carl Vrooman, a wealthy broker and builder with offices in the Commerce building. The will bequeaths the remainder of the estate, after minor gifts have been paid, to Mrs. Vrooman's mother, Mrs. Josephine Grasselli of Eureka, Kan. But Howard Vrooman, Carl Vrooman's brother, says the will is worthless be cause his sister-in-law possessed noth ing at the time of her death. Frederick Griffith, a lawyer with offices in the Scarritt building, filed the will for pro bate. He was named executor by Mrs. Vrooman. At the time Mrs. Vrooman shot her self it was generally believed she did it accidentally. She herself said so. She said that at 6 o'clock in the evening of August 3 she had gone to her room to dress for dinner. Her husband's re volver was on the dresser. She picked it up to examine it. Afterward she said: "I didn't mean to do it, Carl. You told me the revolver was rusty and wouldn't shoot. I don't want to die. I want to live. If I die, bury me by the side of my little baby." This babe, her only chilld," had died a short while before, and she had grieved for it unceasingly. The bullet fired by Mrs. Vrooman entered her breast. Death followed within a few hours. WHAT IS A NEGRO? U. S. Supreme Court Probably Will Be Called Upon to Decide. Washington, Sept. 8. Just what constitutes a negro in the United States may be a question which the United States supreme court will be asked to settle in the near future. One-sixteenth negro blood in an indiv idual classiflps him as a negro in the District of Columbia, according to a decision by Justice Danial T. Wright of the district supreme court In the case of Isabel I. Walt, an eight year old child, who recently was barred from a white public school because the principal had information that she was of negro parentage. The father of the girl j ttempted to force the board of education to rein state the child, but failed Justice Wright deciding she was a negro. The case was appealed to the district court of appeals. If the appellate court af firms Justice Wright's decision an ef fort will be made immediately to have the United States supreme court pass on the question.
