Report That a Citizen Dropped a Pistol. Had Malaga. Spain, Jan. 7. What is be lleved by many to have been an at tempt on the life of King Alfonso took i place during his brief visit here Thurs- day and threw his attendants into a r wm i n i li Kins Alfonso XIII of Spain, Who panic. The facts became generally known for the first time today. The king accompanied by Premier Canale Jas. General Azpar, minister of war and Arias Mirands. minister of marine, had arrived here fro'm Madrid en route for Melilla for a week's stay in the vi cinity of the Spanish town in Morocco. At the railway station his majesty was acclaimed by a great throng that Joyously followed the carriage in which he drove with the mayor to the pal ace of the governor general. Arriving at the palace, the king stepped down from the carriage, turning for a mo ment again ackonwledged the salvos of applause and then entered the pal ace. As the door swung closed behind him an explosion in the crowd outside drowned the cheers. Before the alarm ed and stampeding mass fully realized Just what had happened, gendarmes had closed in about the spot from which the report arose. It was found that two persons had been slightly injured but no other harm done. An official account of the incident ays it was unimportant, a civilian dropped "a pistol enclosed in a box," no further details were made public. Yesterday the king and his party boarded the royal yacht Glralda and proceeded for Mellila. CLUB WILL HELP CUPID. Small Town Swains Slow and Girls Decide on Plan. Maize, Kan., Jan. 7. Socially, things are so pokey at Maize only an oc casional box social or a pie supper to break the tedium. It is hard for the girls to have a good time here, and harder still for them to meet any real ly nice young men. But the clever feminine heads have gotten together and hit upon a plan which is bringing them all kinds of fun and what is more to the point, the acquaintance of plenty of desir able young men. A correspondence club has been or ganized. The members 'who started It.live here and at Haven. Now when the club learns the name of a nice young man who lives in a town that is. not far distant from the parent chapter of the club, the girls write to him and get him into the club. The eligible young men of Wichita. Kingman. Newton, Halstead and Hutchinson are receiving letters from the fair members of the club. Here is a copy of the "first letter" that was received by a young man who is now a member of thvs club and who lives in Hutchinson. It is from the corresponding secretary of the club: "Dear Sir: Pardon me for writing to you in this way, but I and a num ber of other girls are trying to start a correspondence club, the object of which is to get acquainted with young folks in other towns, as there are so few here. "I cannot send you a full list of the club now, but one of our number who would like to correspond resides at a nearby town. Her name is E. P. Gilbert, Haen, Kan. All think this Is a nice plan to get acquainted, as they meet many nice roople that they would not otherwise, and one has time to write when they haven't time or Inclination to call. "As we generally notify one who lives near. I have written to you. I got your name from a friend in "Wich ita who is a memoer or tne ciud. "Hoping you will pardon the for wardness, I remain. "GERTRUDE HILL." Maize. Kan. In the later letters when the club members get better acquainted, of course, this formal mode of expression will not be carried out. According to the present plans of the club, pictures are to be exchanged and in the near future the business of permanent organization Is to be conducted by letter. When warm weather comes, a general meeting is to be called and the young men of the club are to behold their lair cor respondents' vis a vis. The club has all of the advantages of a matrimonial agency with none of the disadvantages. mysterTis unsolved. Coroner Falls to Fix Responsibility for Cyanide Poisoning. Cumberland, Md., Jan. 7. "Came to their deaths by means unknown to the Jurv-" A ins naa lih. tum.iuo'uii v v. j tne x2 men who for nearly five hours heard testimony regarding the deaths This was tne conclusion reacnea oy rs i an .i ii i K Escaped From Assassins. last Saturday of Grace Elosser and Charles T. Twigg, whose bodies were found by the mother of the dead girl, seated on a sofa in the parlor of the Elosser home. The tragedy occurred less than three hours prior to the time set for the marriage of the vic tims. One of the points brought out was that May Elosser, one of Grace's sis ters, had after helping their mother carry Grace's body from the parlor to a bed in a room in the rear, herself been seized with illness which showed symptoms of poisoning by hydro cyanic acid. No connection between this and the deaths of the others was made apparent by the questioning of the witnesses. There was abundant testimony that careful examinations of the bodies by medical men and chemists showed that cyanide of potassium caused the deaths of Twigg and, Grace Elosser. How the poison was brought into the house is still a mystery. Testimony showed that no recepta cle had been found in which the fatal cyanide could have been brought into the Elosser home, and that chemical examination has proven both candy and chewing gum found in the house was free from cyanide or other poison. Mrs. Elosser, the mother of the dead girl, who was brought from a sick bed to testify, said she saw Twigg arrive on Saturday, embrace Grace and give her the wedding ring before he sat down. The pair asked her to come into the parlor, but she declined, not wishing to disturb them. She said her daughter, May, was up stairs taking a bath when her sister and Twigg were found dead by Mrs. Elosser, who, she declared, she at first thought, upon going into the par lor, were asleep. She called Grace and tried to arouse her. Discovering -I'wigg to De in tne same condition, she placed her hand on his shoulder and said: "Charlie, Charlie, what have you done?" Asked if she saw anv bottles or glasses' in the room, she held up her nana ana saia, dramatically, "As God is my judge, I saw nothing." PUTS HIS 0. K.

Has Been Living With Girls "Striving for Purity." COLONY IN BASEMENT. Evelyn Authur See Says All Are to Be Perfect. Women Trust Daughters to Man Teaching Absolutism. Chicago, Jan. 7. Evelyn Arthur See, self declared apostle of a new life, in which all beings will be per fect, appeared in the municipal court today to answer to charges of dis orderly conduct, following police in vestigation of his apartments and his "absolute life" colony. Two girls, one 19 and the other 17 years old, who admitted in court they had for months been living with See unchaperoned, also appeared in court under the same charges. Mona Rees, the elder of the girls, was destined, according to the plan of See. to be the mother of the first "nearly perfect" child, she herself be ing almost perfect according to- the cult's teachings. The other girl, Mil dred Bridges, was striving to attain that state of purity, she declared, that would place her on a plane with the Rees girl. Mrs. Felicia Rees, mother of Mona, also was interested in the colony and spent much of her time teaching its principles. She told the police she approved her daughter's living with See, as all were "perfect" and hence sinless. See in court re fused services of an attorney, saying he had the counsel of God and would purify the court room. The hearing was postponed until January 12 and See refused bail.

Pollock in the United States circuit court in the "Leavenworth liquor cases.' Judge Pollock remanded the cases to the district court of Leaven worth county. At the same time he handed down an opinion to the effect that these and similar cases are not within the jurisdiction of the federal court, and that the place of bona fide purchase is the pertinent fact. If it is made within the state, the prohibitory law has been violated. If thse sale has been made in a state where there is no prohibitory law, delivery is author ized under the interstate commerce law, and no offense has been commit ed. It is the duty of the local district court to determine where the sale was made. Leavenworth Cases. The case taken from the Leaven worth court before Judge Pollock was that of the state of Kansas against the Monarch RnttHno- Stillings, in Platte county, Missouri, Just across the river from Leaven worth, and seven other similar cases.

It was also al leged that sales as well as deliveries woi iimuo irom tne wagons. Injunc tions were, secured by the state, and the comnamr romnvAii v i m j me it,i:iai court on the ground that the contro- vcioy involves tne construction of the constitution and laws of the United States. A motion to remand for want of jurisdiction was filed.- and it was granted. Judge Pollock's decision in this case disposes of all of a similar nature. Sales in Good Faith. "This proposition is so conclusively settled by controlling authority as to preclude justification of citation of authorities in its support." Judge Pol lock said. "If the sales were made in Missouri in good faith, and deliv eries upon them in Kansas were made from wagons, storehouses or other wise, the business was lawful, no mat ter what instrument of carriage was used to bring the liquor into the state." The present decision is without prejudice to either party to the suit in question. It remains only for the district court to determine where the sales were made. TO ANSWER SUMMONS. Chicago Citizens Will Not Be Arrested for Misdemeanors. Chicago, Jan. 7. The municipal court Judges of Chicago have- de manded a change in the form of ar rest for a misdemeanor. At a special meeting they signed an order that in the future all arrests for minor vio lations of a city ordinance shall be made by summons instead of by war rant. When this police reform is in augurated, as it will be as soon as the necessary blanks and books are printed the humiliation of being ar rested for some trivial offense will be removed. It means that a majority of persons who will be arrested in the city this year will escape the embar rassment of a patrol ride. Automoble speeders who are caught. instead of being taken to the station and forced to put up an appearance bond, will be handed a summons to appear in court the next day and al lowed to go their way. "More than 70,000 persons were ar rested in Chicago last year for mis demeanors," asserted Chief Justice Harry Olson. "If our ruling had been in effect in 1910, fully 60,000 of these would have escaped be'ng taken to the police station when they were ar rested." FIRE LOSS HEAVY. Total for 1910 Has Been Exceeded In But Three "fears. Chicago, Jan. 7. Statistics show that losses by fire in the United States and Canada in 1910 amounted to S234.470.6oO, or over $30,000,000 more than the losses in 1909. December losses were excep tionally heavy, aggregating $21,528,000. There were 36 fires during the year. which caused a damage of $500,000 or more, and In ten the loss exceeded $1. 000,000 each. In only three preceding years have the fire losses been heavier than in 1910, one being the year of the Chicaeo fire, the other -of the San Fran cisco fire. Federal and state officers agree the majority of these losses are preventable. In spite or tne lncreas- ine losses.' it is stated that the aver age rate of fire insurance shows a reduction In 1910. TRUST COCLOSED Carnegie Institution in Hands of Bank Superintendent. Capital $1,500,000 and Deposits of $10,000,000. HAD STORMY CAREER. Leslie M. Shaw Was One of Ear ly Presidents. Man Whose Name It Bears Not a Stockholder. New York, Jan. 7. The Carnegie Trust company was closed this morn ing by direction of State Superin tendent of Banks Cheney. It has a capital of $1,500,000 and deposits ag gregating about $10,000,000. The institution, was in serious trou ble In the panic of 1907 and has never fully recovered. Its late president, Mr. Dickinson, died last year under peculiar circumstanes. The institution was organized in 1907 and after the retirement of Leslie M. Shaw from the office of sec retary of the treasury he became its president. The name Carnegie applied to the institution attracted to it a great deal of attention but the adop tion of this name was without :"r. Carnegie's authority or approval. It is understood he was not a stockholder and not immediately identified with it. His connection with the bank ceased after a few months because of differ ence with the other officers of the institution. It is understood a year ago the institution was in more or less trouble growing out of the fact that one of its chief officers, in connection with a well known banker of Wall street had effected a very large loan from the Carnegie Trust company to enable him to buy out and consolidate with it another institution. This fall ing through left the Carnegie institu tion with a large amount of funds locked up. The Carnegie occupies handsome quarters on Broadway in the heart of the financial district. News of the suspension spread rapidly and hun dreds of depositors had assembled about the doors even before the usual hour of opening. The following no tice was pinned on the doors: "Pursuant to the provisions of sec tion 19 of the banking laws of the state of New York, I have this day taken possession of the Carnegie Trust company. O. H. Cheney, super intendent of. banking." This notice was posted shortly be fore 10 o'clock. The state officials had made their .plans earlier in the day and it was evident their action had been anticipated as a throng had al ready begun to gather. The doors of the Institution remained closed and no information concerning the condition of affairs was given out by the bank officials or state authorities. Mr. Cheney's Statement. The following statement was issued by Superintendent of Banks Cheney relative to the closing of the Trust company: "The superintendent of banks has taken possession oi tne property and business of the Carnegie Trust company, located at 115 Broad way, Borough of Manhattan. Examination of the affairs or the company has caused the superinten dent to conclude that it Is in an un sound condition to transact business and that it is not safe for it to con tinue. The examination is not com plete and no further statement can be made at the present time." The financial status of the Carnegie Trust company, according to its last statement, that of November 10, is: Loans, $4,962,500; stocks and bonds investments. $2,334,600; due from trust companies, banks and bankers. $1,517,300: cash available, $1,058,000: aggregate deposits, $8,895,700. The company had a capital or $1,500,000 and surplus and undivided profits of $737,500. The officers of the company are: President, J. T. Howell; vice presi dents, Robert L. Smith and James R. Curran; secretary, Robert E. More hold; assistant treasurer, W. L. Samp son: assistant .secreary. A. E. Chan dler. The directors are David H. A. Bates, W. J. Cummings, A. B. Chandler, M. J. Condon, G. W. Court, George D. Crabbs, John Cudahy, W. A. Keener, S. H. Kress, L. L. Lewis, E. F. O'Neill, J B. Reychmann. Charles M. Schwab, G. C. Smith, J. B. Stanchfleld and J. T. Howell. Though the notice of closing quick ly brought a crowd of depositors and others having business with the insti tution, it gradually melted away. The suspension caused selling on the stock exchange but the declines were not large. Important banking Interests render ed support wherever necessary. Offi cials of the trust company were loath to discuss the failure and it was stated that President Howell would not be down today. Mr. Howell succeeded J. B. Reich mann as president some months ago. He was .formerly president of the Fourth National bank of Nashville, Tenn. Paul T. Cravath and Edward M. Grout, former comptroller of this city, had a brief conference this morning with Superintendent Cheney.- It is believed they represent some special Interests connected with the company. History of the Concern. The organization of the Carnegie Trust company in 1907 by the late Charles C. Dickinson brings out some interesting modern financial history. Mr. Dickinson interested a number of prominent financiers in the company and Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, was made president. The name of Mr. Caregle was used by the organizers in order to lend strength to the undertaking, but Mr. Carnegie repudiated the use of his name. Mr. Dickinson, the organizer, became vice president of the com pany. After about a year Mr. Shaw resigned and Mr. Dickinson became president. Troubles of the company developed when Mr. Dickinson at tempted to form a chain of banks. with the Carnegie trust as a parent Institution. Control or the Van Nor den Trust company, the Nineteenth Ward bank and Twelfth Ward bank was sought. A syndicate had gained control of the Van Norden company and was heavily purchasing securities of the banks when the state banking department put a stop to the plan. During the Dickinson regime the Car negie trust became involved with the Fidelity Funding company which fail ed, causing many Catholic institutions throughout the country financial loss. Mr. Dickinson resigned and Joseph B. Reichmann temporarily took the pres idency. Mr. Reichmann retired several months ago and J. T. Howele, formerly of Nashville, became president. The city of Nly York had on deposit with the Carnegie trust at the close of busi ness yesterday $650,000. Not long after Mr. Dickinson had re tired he died in a hospital here and it was said that the cause of his death was the inhalation of poisonous gas in the laboratory of a chemist In Scran ton. The Carnegie Trust company occu pied banking quarters on the ground floor of No. 115 Broadway, which ex tended from Broadway to Trinity place. .Shaw Is Surprised. Philadelphia, Jan. 7. Leslie M. Shaw, former president of the Car negie Trust company, who is now a resident of this city, was surprised to learn that the company had closed its doors. He said he had no knowledge that the institution was in bad con dition. Mr. Shaw said the trust com pany's paper was all good when he re tired as president and that he had In side information that there had not been more than $2,000 loss on the pa per then held by the bank. GEORGE WALKEilEAD. Native of Lawrence. Kan., Got Start as Comedian When 14 Tears Old. New York, Jan. 7. George Walker, the negro comedian, for long associat ed with Bert Williams, died last night George Walker, Famous Kansas Negro Comedian, Who Died Last JMignu in a sanitarium in Long Island, after an illness of more than a year.

Later he went to California, where he got his professional start. His wife. Ada Overton Walker, is a soubrette and has been connected with the Williams and Walker minstrels from which Walker retired about a year and a half ago. When Walker retired it was said that he was to take a much needed rest. Following that time he returned to Lawrence for a while and was a visitor in Topeka. where he is well known. WOMEN MAY BEGUILE. No Crime to Pretend Affection and Accept Gifts; Court Holds. Kansas City, Jan. 7. Beguiling women, fair and false, may go as far as they like. Judge Latshaw of the criminal court holds It no crime to pretend affection for a man i:hat she doesn't love. John Dearing of 1220 Penn street was to blame for, the Wil ing which puts men at the mercy of designing women. He complained that a maid he loved beguiled him into making various expensive pres ents, pretending that she loved him. He was away from town and returned to find that she had married another man. "False pretenses must be of a ma terial and substantial nature," said Judge Latshaw. "They must be so ma terial as to move a person of calm and cold business Judgment to part with something of value. Affections are changeable, they have no actual value. It would be Impossible to show at what moment a woman ceased to love a man and her pretenses began. If there were no false pretenses in affection this would be a disappointing world. If a man lets a woman make him believe she loves him and his be lief leads him to part with presents of value he can not complain. It should, however, be a lesson to guide his fu ture actions with regard to the fair sex. He is entitled to some sympa thy the first time he is fooled. The second time shouldn't ever occur. Dearing left the criminal court after explaining there never would be a next time with him. IN HONOR OF STUBBS. Lawrence Business Men will Attend Inaugural of Governor, Lawrence. Kan., Jan. 7.

Taken to Independence in a Mo tor Car After Arrest. LITIGATION IS CAUSE Lawsuit Pending Between Trus kett and Wichita Company. Two Shots Fired, One Througl Heart of J. D. S. Neeley. Caney, Kan., Jan. 7. J. D. S. Nee ly, president of the Wichita Pipe Lin company, president of the Lima (O.) Trust company, and the head of sev- -eral large oil companies, was shot and killed at the Palace hotel here this morning by A. O. Truskett, a promi nent business man of Caney. The shooting was the result of litigation over an oil lease. Truskett surrend ered Immediately. Truskett was taken In a motor car to the county Jail In Independence, Kan. The shooting was at the rear of the hotel. x Mr. Neely had been sitting In the lobby reading a letter. Truskett sitting opposite, had been watching him closely when Mr. Neely got up and walked toward the rear of the hotel.- Truskett hurried around to the sample room. Neely passed the door of this room. Truskett fired at him twice as he passed. One bullet passed through Mr. Neely's heart and the other through his left arm. When employes of the hotel reached the prostrate man he was dead. President Neely arrived here Fri day on his regular monthly inspection or on ana gas interests and of his pumping plant recently erected here. The direct cause of the killing Is be lieved to have been a lawsuit now pending between Truskett and the Wichita Pipe Line company. Truskett Refuses Statement. Truskett refused to make a state ment. His friends say the lawsuit weighed heavily on his mind and that frequently advisors had told him he was being deceived by the corpora tion. Truskett's is one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Caney. His divorced wire lives in Wichita. The lease which led to the litiga tion between Truskett and the pipe line company was to a tract of oil land four miles south of Caney. Robert F. Goodman, a minor Indian, who owned the tract, leased it several years ago to Hugh Bronson,' an oil man, who later disposed of it to Winkler, Aner- fleld and Hicks, a local oil firm, f or $400. Truskett paid this firm $9,100 for the lease. Shortly afterward the Wichita Pipe Line company claimed the lease for the tract, saying it had come into possession of it through a lease by Goodman to Fred C. Losser and Herbert Scott, who were Interested in the Wichita company. The company asserted that the leasing to Truskett had been Illegally done. Owen's Nephew Is Mentioned. Owen Owen of Caney, a nephew of Senator Owen of Oklahoma, traveled with the Indian boy, Goodman, from the time the rival claims arose until the boy became of age, September 24, last. It was said Owen was in ine employ of the Wichita company. On the date Goodman became of age the Wichita company began action in the federal court to clear its lease to tne land. Litigation has been In progress ever since. Truskett asserted the pipe line company used undue Influence on the Indian boy, spirited him away, and finally bought from him the lease for $5,000. Pleads Self Defense. There were no witnesses to the Bhootinir. Soon after it occurred Truskett went direct to the home of his brother, E. W. Truskett. There he was found a little later by J. H. Mclnroy, city marshal. The, two men had known each other for twenty-five years. Truskett made no show of re sistance and to his old friend simply volunteered: "I surrender to you, Mclnroy, take me where you like." Mclnroy formally placed Truskett under arreBt. "Why did you do it. AV Mclnroy asked. "He attacked me was the reply, 'and I was forced to do it." Further than this Truskett declined to talk of the affair. A deputy sheriff soon placed Truskett in an automobile and started with him ror tne county Jail at Independence. In the meantime the boay or jseeiy was taken to an undertaker's rooms. A coroner's jury was selected and an inquest was begun. Following the inquest' it was decid ed to start with the body of Neely for Lima, Ohio, late in the day. Prominent Mason and Churchman. Lima, Ohio, Jan. 7. J. D. S. Neely, who was shot and killed at Caney, Kansas, today, came to Lima from the Pennsylvania oil fields in 1885, at the time of the great oil strike here.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1911. F.11AUR!NI$ OUT. The Atlanta Purchase for Out field Quits Baseball. Joins the Ranks of Winter Quit ters With Determination. WILL GET ANOTHER Moore Seems Handy at Finding Them Saves Worry. Manager Talks of His Club as It Now Looks. Ralph McLaurin, crack outfielder of the Atlanta club of the Southern league, whom Manager Fred Moore purchased for the Topeka team re cently, writes that he has quit base ball for good. Otherwise he wishes the Topeka club all the success In the .World. Moore was banking pretty heavily on McLaurin, whom he bought through the Brooklyn club at the rec ommendation of Larry Sutton, the fa mous scout. In his letter to Moore McLaurin gives no reason for quitting the game. He writes that he would be delighted to play here If he played anywhere and wishes Moore a merry season. He cost $400 and the check has been sent Atlanta. No bad faith la, charged on the part of the Atlanta management- and the money will be used at the other end of another line iwhen Moore recovers it. Perhaps McLaurin does not want to come north having read of the 10 be low weather and the gas shortage but he does not refer to that as any rea son he simply will not play ball any Tnore. The outfielder has been one cf the leaders in his league. 'His home la at McCall, South Carolina. Speaking of the reorganized club as. it will look on assembling In To peka, Moore said, "The club looks good to me right now. I am working en; a few more players but we could play some fine ball right now. "We've got Strangle, Kern3 and Gib Bon for catchers. I believe Strangle will be able to set the pace for any of them. You all know what Kerns can do and Gibson is mighty well recom mended as a youngster and a comer. Proud of Pitching Staff. j "And I'm proud of my pitching etaff. Frankly I think it is going to prove the best in the league. Mc Grath, Alderman and Fugate are well known here. Beecher, Ovitz, Leak, Buchanan, Upton and King are new ones. I know what Beecher can do and Ovitz Is a comer. Buchanan is a 'wise' pitcher and knoVs how to work on a batter. j ''On the outfield, Whitney is a real first baseman, and they are hard to find. If I can't earn my place at sec ond, then somebody else can have it. Quinlin is a fast and. heady short and will have to beat out another, man I am going to get. Hopke ought to have no trouble in showing the league how to play third base, "In the outfield, I -will have to get someone to take the place I had for McLaurin.'' If Tomason is as good as the people here tell me he is,, he will take care of. left ail right. Ritey, Persoh and Burns Is a-good layout for the remaining position: So we see we are pretty well lined -out right now." The contracts sent out by Moore Thursday ought to be .floating back soon with the necessary signatures. While the easterners and southerners may take some time to decide to be come westerners, there is no serious difficulty anticipated along that line. The enthusiasm of the fans grows es the season approaches and the out look is for a record season in Topeka. Numerous ambitious youths already are offering their service to Manager Moore for a try-out and likely he will he harassed to the limit by prospec tive ball players when the sun gets a little warmer. EASTERN KANSAS LEAGUE BUSY. president Curry Invites Leavenworth to Join His Circuit. Leavenworth, Jan. 7. A letter was received b J.the sporting editor of The Times from I. R.

Write today. the Eastern Kansas Baseball League announcing that a meeting of the league will be held January 9th In Hi awatha for the purpose of making plans for the coming season and of selecting cities for the circuit the com ing season. Curry .says that It Is said that Leavenworth would like to Join his organization and he wants some one interested In baseball to attend the meeting as Leavenworth would have a good chance of entering the league. The Eastern Kansas League had a good season last year. The league In cludes such town as Hiawatha, Blue Rapids, Marysville and Holton. If Leavenworth and Atchison would Join the organization the class of the league would be greatly improved. The Leavenworth fans should get together and send some good baseball man to the meeting and arrange to get a franchise in the league as it could be made to pay. The expense of a league team in this city would not be great as the salary limit is low and there are several suitable parks that could be used. Baseball will be patronized the coming season If Leav enworth gets in this league as there has been no league baseball In the city for a number of years. A number of local baseball men have said that they thought baseball could be made to pay In Leavenworth the coming season as the fans have had to content themselves with ama teur baseball for the past four years. These games as a rule do not Interest the fans as a league baseball game does. ROOM BETWEEN CLASSES. W. A. Phelon Believes Third League Will Find Betas. Cincinnati, Jan. 7. When that third league not the Fletcher ghost dance, but the real and actual article finally starts to transact business. It won't, be either a full fledged major organization, as its advocates assert, nor a struggling minor outfit attempt ing to swell up beyond Us caliber. It will hardly be an outlaw gang, for that matter. It won't be at war with organized baseball, and It won't be tied down to any of the smaller bod ies that now revolve in the armament of the National association. Critics and fans alike seem to over look the fact that circumstances and conditions are changing in baseball. Certain cities have grown so large that they have passed beyond the minor league class, and yet they have not grown to such a bulk that they can compete with the greater centers of the major leagues. The time is ripe for a new classification of at least two leagues, but It is not ripe for those same leagues to proclaim themselves the full equals of the National and American. The American association and the Eastern league can combine to pro mote a most powerful circuit, or, re maining separate, they can Justly ask a new classification that shall put- them where the present majors stood twenty years ago. Major-minors, or minor-majors you can call tnem either name, and it fits. There Is no valid reason why these people should not have a new combination, grading far above the rank and file ox the minors and there is no vana reason why they should attempt, at one bound, to claim equality with the big gest fish In the aquarium'. A third league or' two of them with some of the clubs located in the present major league cities, could not compete with .the present majors not for years" to- come and for per fectly comprehensible reasons. If the new leagues were formed peacefully and without any outlaw business, they could not get tne stars of the majors; and If" the' r.ew leagues butted In by force of arms, their bank rolls would naraiy stann me strain of battling in open market with the older outfits. In the course of a few years, the new minor-majors would develop stars of their own, but even then their salary "rolls would re main lighter than those Of the present majors. A third team in Chicago, for example, could hardly afford, even ten years from now, to pay what Murphy and Comlskey would be handing to their men. There is room for a new state league pair of leagues standing on a new level and wholly different from any present classification. All such questions as rights of draft and pur chase could be amicably settled, and the new. circuit could come into their own without delay or trouble. As things now stand there is too wide a space between the majors and the minors a new class of leagues should fill the vacuum. BOLES THINKS IT GOOD BUNCH. St. Joe Player of Topeka Says Ma terial Is Fine. Walter Boles, catcher and utility player of the St. Joseph club in the Western league and formerly with the Topeka team, is in the city expecting to land a legislative Job. His wife who has been in ill health for some time has recovered somewhat but will remain at home in Fort Worth, Texas, at least until the baseball season opens. Boles says the line-up secured for Topeka by Manager Moore looks good to him. Hopke, he says, should lead the league at third and Larry Quinlin prove a live one on short. In fact, it looks to Walter as If Topeka would be a flag contender next season. He himself expects to remain in Topeka until the season opens when he will report at Joetown. He had not heard of Jake Bauer's explosion and said it was just like the old town to frame that benefit for the injured player. DOUBLE HEADER TONIGHT. Sophomores-R, R. Y. M. C.

No Thanksgiving Games for Con ference Schools. Professional Coach Rule Is Ap proved No Summer Ball. While Washburn college was nof granted entrance into the Missouri val ley athletic conference at Des Moines Friday, the school will play under Mis souri valley rules the coming season. The Kansas Agricultural "college at Manhattan, which was confident of ad mission, probably will do the same. That was the popular student and team prediction last fall. Because she had met the Missouri valley requirements for the past two seasons, Washburn thought she should be permitted to compete for the con ference championship. It is the strict enforcement and high standard of the conference rules which make them sought as a regulation. There is wide spread confidence that a team playing under them tolerates no professional ism, remuneration or flunking in studies. They are hard to meet in entrance and scholarship requirements but the local college has been doing so for years past. Prof. I. D. Cardiff, faculty repre sentative on the Washburn athletic board and eligibility censor, attended the Des Moines meeting summoned by the valley conference. It was thought one school would be admitted and Washburn seemed to be the most like ly one. Before going to the meeting Pro fessor Cardiff said: "Whether Wash burn is taken into the conference or not, we will play under those rules. We have always met them in our game with Kansas university and have built our teams on that basis. That gave many smaller teams, who do and can not meet the requirements, an advant age over us on the gridiron. But we have contended that in the end it is a good sacrifice of strength for a time. Eventually we will be included in the conference,. I think, and that is the class the college is trying to main tain." "I believe Washburn ought to play under the Missouri valley rules," said W. L. Driver, physical director at the college, and a former famous Tiger end. "We meet the requirements and might as well be included in the con ference so that we could contest for the valley championship and play with conference officials and censored eligi bility lists." The most drastic action character ized the conference meeting. A sweep ing rule resulted on every question brought before the tribunal. Many had been thrashed out during the sea son and since. The present rules are given an O. K. There will be no more Thanksgiving games. Games will all be played on college grounds. No short term professional coaches. No summer baseball where admis sion is charged. Not a college was granted admis sion. The Thanksgiving game rule finally settles the question whether Missouri and Kansas will play in Kansas City. There are some exceptions to the rules as mentioned in the Des Moines report. It is not expected either Washburn or Manhattan would observe other than the eligibility and entrance rules, but will play on Thanksgiving and on any grounds selected. The Stand Pat Meeting. Des Moines, la., Jan. 7. "Standing pat" on the football reform rulel adopted by them one year ago, with one exception, and also upon the question of summer .baseball, with one exception, the members of the Mis souri "Valley Athletic conference con cluded their annual meeting here last evening. I. Ross Hill, president of Missouri university, was chosen chair man of the meeting which will be held at Lincoln next year. E. W. Stan ton of the Iowa Agricultural college was chosen secretary. As the result of the practical pass ing out of control to faculty repre sentatives today, football will be ta bood on Thanksgiving day in the Mis souri valley, with the exception of the game between Drake university of Des Moines and the Iowa State college at Ames, which schools are under con tract to play one more Thanksgiving day game. All college games in the future must be played upon college grounds, preventing the meeting of Kansas and Missouri universities at Kansas City. The University of Iowa was given a year's reprieve In the question of short term professional coaches, members of the board of education appearing be fore the conference and stating that a coach already had been employed for the coming fall. Faculty representatives also stood pat on the question of summer baseball, with the exception that it was agreed that a college man may play baseball in games to which no admission Is charged. The members of the conference also voted to incorporate the Missouri Val ley conference and to make changes in the eligibility blanks used in certi fying eligibility. The petitions of Kansas Agricultural college at Man hattan and Washburn college at To peka, for admission to the conference were discussed, but it was decided best to admit no other schools at the present time.

Pacific-Gulf Line Will Be Opened in August., INTO S. P. TERRITORY. Work in Progress for an Exten sion to New Orleans. Other Items of General Inter est in Traffic World. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 7. Los An geles and the Pacific will have a new short rail route to Galveston and the Gulf of Mexico by August 1 by the construction of a new cutoff between Texlco on the Belen line of the Santa Fe and Coleman on the Gulf line of the same road. The line between Tex ico and Coleman is nearly 300 miles long and the distance saved by its construction over the present Santa Fe route from Los Angeles to the Gulf is 609 miles. It was announced that this cv.toff would be built two years ago and the line was surveyed and part of it built. Then construction lagged. Now orders have been Issued to rush the comple tion of the line and have It ready for the operating department by August 1. The first step in tne sania t es pro gram for a line from the Pacific to the Gulf was the construction o' the Belen cutoff, a low grade line from Belen to Clovis. N. M.. 279 miles. This was the crowning achievement in the ca reer of the late James JS. uriey, gen eral manager of the Santa Fe. Then a line from Texico, 35 miles east from Clovis,. was planned. It was proposed to build this line to a connection with the Gulf line at Temple. Substantial progress was made dur ing the fiscal year ending June 80, last, 45 miles immediately southeast of Lubbock being completed and 155 miles of the remaining distance be tween Lubbock an'd Coleman being graded and made ready for track work. The line from Coleman to Temple already is built and in opera tion. Branch lines have been built, from Plainview to Lubbock, 46 miles, and from Plainview to Floydava, 25 miles. These lines are In operation. Other branches have been projected and now are in process of construction. Thn nresent route for traffic from T-ns Ansreles to Galveston over the Santa Fe is via the Coast Lines from T.OS Anareles to Albuquerque, thence over the Belen cutoff to Newton, Kan., and then south to Galveston. The miiatrn of the nresent route is 2,359 mllpsi while the new route will be nniv tuts miles long. wprstofnrs the only through line frnm Tia Ansreles to the Gulf has been Mm Southern Pacific 1,697 miles. The Santa Fe naturallv will furnish a com rmtltor for the Southern Pacific. The Santa Fe la 14 8 miles longer than the Southern Pacific, but this difference is partly overcome by reason of the Santa Fe'e lower grade. The Santa Fe also soon will prove a strong competitor to the southern Pacific into New Orleans. From a noint on the Gulf line between Temple and Galveston, Somerville, the Santa Fe is building east to New Orleans and expected to be in the Gulf metro- polls within two years.

Traffic Agreements Reached Between Two Roads. Denver, Jan. 7.- The Western Pa cific, the Pacific coast extension of the Denver Rio Grande railroad, has ef fected an entrance into the general tourist business of the west through agreements entered into with the Santa Fe system for the interchange of business. Heretofore it has been bot tled up at San Francisco on the rout ing of round trip tickets from eastern points and could sell theae tickets good only over Its two lines both ways. "We will in future be able to route business over the Western Pacific, one way and over the danta Fe in the op posite direction," said F. A. Wadleigh, general passenger agent ot the Den ver Rio Grande. "We will also reach Seattle, Port land and the northwest through ar rangements with the Pacific Steamship company. The arrangements with the Santa Fe and the steamship lines en ables us to give the tourists a variety of routes and a choice of destinations which were not possible under the old plan." Mr. Wadleigh would not commit himself on the effect of this agreement on the relations between the Western Pacific and the Harriman lines. It Is expected, however, that the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, which have held aloof from any arrangements for thj routing of round trip tourist busi ness over the Gould lines since the Western Pacific was placed in opera tion, will be forced to open the way for the new line to share in the bene fits of the Interchange principle.

ABOLISHES TRAIN AUDITOR. Baltimore Ohio Effects Saving Conductors Didn't Like It. Baltimpre, Md., Jan. 7. Following swiftly upon' the retirement from the Baltimore Ohio railroad of George L. Potter, as third vice president and general manager, has come the an nouncement that one of Mr. Potter's pet systems is being abolished, and that the company will be able to dis pense with the large force of men needed for it. It is the system of train auditing, which is to be ended so abrupty, and from fifty to sixty men known as train auditors will lose their positions. The order abolishing some of these posi tions was issued immediately upon Mr. Potter's retirement. This action, it is said, .will result in a saving of more than $60,000 a year In salaries. Train auditors were unknown on the Baltimore Ohio until they were in stalled by Mr. Potter about five or six years ago. The duties of the officials, it was then announced, would be to collect tickets and attend to the cleri cal work which formerly fell upon the conductors. The latter officials, it was explained, would be relieved of much of the detail of their positions and would have more time to give to the safety of the train and the passengers in their charge. Mr. Potter had been familiar with the work of these new officials In the west, where they were known as train inspectors. They were only assigned to the heavy through trains. They were well established in the west, but from the first they proved, it is stated, a constant source of irritation on the Baltimore Ohio. The conductors resented the pres ence of the new men, whom they re ferred to as "spotters and it was claimed that the system did not work smoothly and did not have the effect of relieving the conductor of any im portant duties. But Mr. Potter be lieved in the system, and as long as he remained with the road the system was continued. POSTAL CLERK FORCE CUT. Retrenchment Policy May Cause Re duction tn Number of Employees. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 7. Postal clerks all over the country are wondering Just how far the proposed retrenchment of the department may- affect the forces now employed In handling the mails on the railroads. Following the Christmas rush comes the word that the department must economize and that probably a rather drastic move toward reduction will be made. Joseph A.

He recommend ed the elimination of 636 railway mail clerks for the year beginning June 30, 1911. The statement of the assist ant postmaster general is made public through George H. Fair, president of the Railway Mail association, who wrote a letter to each of the trans portation offices o the service, in which he gives the comparative num ber of men for the years 1910, 1911 and 1912 and adds the significant sug gestion that the comparisons will be "interesting." For the year ending June SO, 1810, there were 17,120 clerks in the United States raUway mail service. For ,the year 1911, which will end June SO. there have been 18.056 clerks. In his recommendation, the assistant post master reduces the number to 17.420 clerks for his estimate. That will mean that the national legislature will make appropriation for that numoer. A U. P. A.

THE TOPEKA DAILY gf ATE JOTONAE SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1911. IT ulUSTBE GOOD. Supreme Court Lays Down Law to Stock Exchange. Holds Order Orer Its Head Like Sword of Damocles. PRACTICES ARE BAD. Boycott of Other Dealers Must Cease. Belief in Spiritualism Not Evi dence of Insanity. Some of the practices of the Trad ers' Live Stock Exchange, operating the stocker and feeder market in the Kansas City stock yards, are vicious and illegal, according to the Kansas supreme court. But the exchange will not be dissolved and if it continues to operate legally and to the best inter est of the people who have business with its members it will not be dis turbed. But if the exchange should take up again the boycotting of mem bers who traded outside the exchange the supreme court will take up the case again and administer the proper punishment. The supreme court affirmed the de "cision of Judge L. C. True of the dis trict court of Wyandotte county in the anti-trust case. But the order dis solving the Traders' Live Stock Ex change was stayed and the supreme court retains control of the case, in much the same manner that it retains control over the business of the In ternational Harvester company. The supreme court, in its decision, pays that the exchange has a good and lawful purpose and as long as it pur sued its. business it ought not to be disturbed. But the court continues: "The trouble is that these traders have never been able to resist the tempta tion to grasp the reins of the market and sit in the seat of monopoly. If the rules of the exchange were modi fled, particularly Rule 10, aijd the functions of the organization were con fined strictly within their legitimate field, there would be no occasion for a judgment of dissolution. If, how ever, it cannot operate without cur tailing the full free and fair diffusion of the benefits and opportunities of the Kansas City market, it ought to be dis solved." The supreme cour,t today held, in a case appealed from Riley county, that the fact that a person believed in spiritualism is not of itself a sufficient fact to warrant the supposition that that person is insane. The court held further that insanity in near relatives does not necessarily tend to establish Insanity in other relatives of such in sane persons. The case in question was appealed by Agnes M. Fish and Anna M. Phalen against B. A. Fore man and Jacob Heer, trustees for the estate of Millie R. Sherwood, deceased. The appellants claim, who are sisters of the late Mrs. Sherwood, that she deeded away her land while insane and unable to make a valid deed. The lower court held that the deed was valid inasmuch as Mrs. Sherwood was sane. The appellants in this suit in troduced evidence as follows to show the insanity of Mrs. Sherwood: That in 1886 she was sandbagged; in 1892 she was hurt in a street car accident, and before either of these misfortunes had occurred she had been struck by lightning. It was also shown that at the time she executed the deed in question she was suffering from an unusual severe pain in the bowels and headache and it was also alleged that she was a student of the doctrines of Spiritualism. The supreme court held that Mrs. Sherwood was sane in the face of all of these allegations, in spite of all of her misfortunes and notwith standing her belief in spiritualism. The supreme court today decided that old, old question, that a property owner must pay for the sidewalk con structed in front of his property by the city. This case was appealed from Greenwood county by H. W. Manning. Mr. Manning refused to build a side walk when ordered to do so by the city. The city had a sidewalk built in front of the Manning property and levied a s -:cial tax against the prop erty to pay for It. Manning appealed to the supreme court and the latter holds that a city has a right to levy a special tax to pay for such improve ments when it is ordered made by ordinance. The Kansas supreme court will not help in recovering excessive freight rates on interstate business. The Su perior Refining company shipped some oil from Bartlesville, Ok., to Long ton, Kan. The published tariff rate to points near Longton was seven cents per hundred pounds, but o Ijongton from Bartlesville the pub lished rate was 21 cents. The agent at Bartlesville misquoted the rate to Longton and the refining company made a shipment and paid the seven cent rate. After the oil got to Long ton the railroad company demanded the excess rate and the refining com pany refused to pay. The railroad brought suit to collect the excess fee, but the lower court and the supreme court both held that as it was an in terstate rate, the state court had no jurisdiction and that the railroad must suffer the loss or collect through the regular federal channels. If a merchant, desiring to shade his show windows, builds an awning that projects out over the sidewalk, it is necessary that the merchant keep a watchful eye on that awning and that it never becomes weak or loos ened. This is the" decision of the Kan sas supreme court in the suit of M. V. Potter against the Rorabaugh Wiley Dry Goods company from Reno county. Mrs. Potter was struck on the head by an iron bar from the awn ing in front of the store and in jured. She brought suit for damages and the lower court decided against her. On an appeal to the supreme court it was held that it devolved on the store to see that the awning C. did not injure anyone and that per sona were protected from injury. The supreme court today decided in an appeal from Franklin county against the board of education of Ot tawa that the word adjacent when applied to a piece of land means lying near and not necessarily touching the city limits of a town. The school board had attached under the law a piece of property lying near the city of Ottawa and added it to the mu nicipality for school purposes. The land in question did not touch the city Hmit3 proper. But the supreme court held that it touched the outlying bor der of the city's school district, that it was close enough to the city for the children t. conveniently attend school there and that the board had a right to attach the property to the -city for school purposes under the powers given it by the word adjacent as used in the law governing this case. The supreme court today held that a mechanics lien holds on a piece ot pro perty even though the deft for repairs for said property was contracted by a lessee instead of by the owner. This case was appealed from Allen county by D. C. Potter against P. J. Conley and the lower court was reversed in this matter. Conley is the owner of a theater building and he leased it to J. E. Faltys and George Gilliam for a period of three years. The lessee had the building repaired at a cost of $163. The owner of the building knew that the repairs were being made and the lessees left the country without pay ing for the repairs and the contractors filed a mechanics lien on the building for their pay and the lower court held that the lessees were responsible for the debt, but not the owner of the property. But the supreme court re versed this decision, holding that the property is liable for debts incurred in repairing, and therefore improving it. The sunreme court affirmed the judg ment of the Shawnee court in the case brought in the lower court by E. E. Hawk against his guardian for $658 alleged to be due him for services performed for his guardian. Hawk brought the suit against the IT. S. Fidelity and Trust com pany, the bonding company for the guar dian in question. The case was decided against Hawk on the basis that his suit was void under the statute of limitation. The supreme court upheld the lower court. The case is a technical one and was decided strictly on points of law. ED HOWE HERE. Atchison Ex-Editor About to Publish Xeiv Book. Ed Howe, formerly of the Atchison Globe, now of Smith's Quarterly, hap py as a clam, came over to Topeka today from Atchison with an armful of manuscripts, which he turned over to Crane Co. It is the material for a new book, to be called "Country Town Sayings," which will include many of the best paragraphs which have made the Globe famous. As Mr. Howe left home this morn ing a member of the Globe staff hand ed him a pocketful of subscriptions that had come in over night to his new magazine. The New York World recently print ed the following editorial about Mr. Howe: His full name is Edgar Watson Howe, but he is more commonly known as Ed Howe, and sometimes they call him Old Ed Howe, although he is only fifty-six. For thirty-three years he has edited the Daily Globe out in Atchison. Kan., and now he is rich, enough to quit work and loaf with his soul. According to New York standards, Atchison is not much of a town. Broad way would be bored to death there in fifteen minutes; but Ed Howe put Atchi son on the map and has kept it there year in and year out. He is the spoiled child of Kansas, for the people there have al lowed him to remain sane, presumably in the belief that this eccentricity of genius advertised the state. To show the extent to which this coddling has been carried, they even permitted him to dis cuss the Osawatomie speech rationally and intelligently. Out In Kansas they are mighty fond of Ed Howe, in spite of his incorrigible men tal maturity, and the readers of every American newspaper with a competent exchange editor knows about the Atchi son Globe. The World reprints some of the Globe paragraphs on its editorial page almost every day. But Ed Howe has literary claims, too, entirely apart from the hard day-labor of newspaper making. He wrote a story once entitled "The Story of a Country Town," and if the rewards of literature bore any relation to merit, a million copies of it would have been sold. We are glad Ed Howe is rich enough to quit work, but we hope he makes enough bad investments so that he will have to turn out an editorial or a para graph from time to time, for we shall miss him dreadfully. ALL CARS TIED UP. Street Railway Traffic Halted by a Broken W ire. On account of a broken lead wire at Fourth and Kansas avenue at 1:40 this afternoon the Topeka railway lines were tied up for twenty minutes. The break was a serious one and made it necessary tor every car in the city to remain still whether on a curve, across a street cross ing or at the end of the line. The result was that hundreds of patrons sat in their seats many blocks from their offices waiting, cussing and praying that the juice would come. Many a "boss" was approached by a tardy stenographer or clerk this afternoon and given an ex cusean excuse that will be substantiated by this article. All along Kansas avenue business men and out of town people sat on their suit cases and grips waiting for the cars to the railway stations where a number of afternoon trains go east to Kansas City and Chicago. The Rock Island and Union Pacific especially have many trains at this hour. PEACE IS DECLARED. Deadlock in Tennessee Legislature Comes to an End. Nashville. Jan. 7.

Board of Pardons iu Accord With Executive Action. Twenty of Number Were Under Sentence for Life. Montgomery, Ala.. Jan. 7. The oth er day Governor B. B. Comer, who likes poetry, picked up Lord Byron's works and read "The Prisoner of Chil lon." He was about to start on his annual tour of the state prison and the convict camps. The poem so deeply impressed him that after visiting the convicts he exercised wholesale clem ency, paroling 100 long term prisoners, forty of them convicted ot nomiciae and twenty being life convicts. These are the lines of Byron which so worked upon the governor's hu man sympathies that he sat down and wrote out the documents liberating the prisoners: "My hair is gray, but not with years, Nor grew it wnite In a sinclft Ti I J l t As men's have grown from sudden fears. My limbs are bowed, though not with toil, T,it mcta with n vile renose. For they have been a dungeon's spoil, ir, mine Vms heen the fate of those m v. CT-niHlv o rt h a.nrl air Are banned and barred forbidden fare." "I gave the matter careful consid eration," said the governor, and J. could find no good reason for keeping these men who have served so long and so disastrously to their own health and happiness. These paroles are issued only to prisoners who have good prison rec ords, and in practically every case nf thp hoard of pardons were heartily in accord with them. IMPROVE THE SERVICE. Mr. Ryan Says This Should Be Effort ot Railroad Board. Frank J. Ryan, member of the present board of railway commission ers, and who will on Monday next be sworn into office for a third term, talked to a State Journal representa tive yesterday about railway matters of general interest to the people of Kansas. Mr. Ryan said: "While the question of freight rates is an Impor tant one, and should by no means be lost sight of, there is another matter of great importance to the traveling public, and that is the problem of getting better service on the various railroads. Among the first things that I shall request of my new colleagues is an order directed to the railroads, requiring them to adopt the Michi gan plan of bulletining their trains. The present plan of posting the ar rival and departure of passenger trains would be all right if the railroads themselves would observe it, but in many places they absolutely ignore the order. Many times I have ar rived at a station and inquired about the arrival of a train, and was in formed that the train was, say, ten minutes late, when in fact it would be an hour, and some times three or four hours, before the train would ar rive. "The Michigan plan requires that the railroads post in a conspicuous place in their depots the time of ar rival and departure of all passenger trains and. if late, the time must shoxv on the board how late it was at thi station thirty or forty miles away. For instance, a man goes to the depot to take a train for Lawrence, and reads on the bulletin board 'No. 13 thirty mmutea late. row the natural ques tion is. Where' is the train? Is it thirty minutes late at Dodge City or thirty minutes Jate out of Osage City which is about thirty miles away from Topeka? The Michigan plan reads, for in stance. "No. 4 passed St. Marr's 40 minutes late, will arrive at Topeka 30 minutes late.' In that way a passen ger knows exactly when the train will tea tSfSsmv -A arrive, and this will result in not only an accommodation to the traveling public, but to the employes of the roads as well, who are usually bothered to death answering the telephone and queries of passengers at the station. If this plan is put into effect, and I intend to suggest that it be inaugu rated, it will prove of great conven ience. "In traveling over the state I find that the law with reference to riding on freight trains is being ignored gen erally. I know of one road who have abandoned all their regular trains on one division, and operates only extra freight trains, and in that way evades this law which, requires all regular freight trains except those carrying a majority of live stock, to carry passen gers. This is a good law, and if en forced will not bother the railroads, but, on the other hand, will result in a great convenience to the men who are required to drive from town to town in many sections of the state, in order to cover their territory. "I hope this legislature will also give serious consideration to a law giving the commission power to adjust claims of every description. I have in mind an instance of a man who now lives in Lawrence, who had a claim against the railroad for breaking his tool chest; the claim amounted to about $6. The man was poor and could not afford to bring suit against the company: he was put off by the claim department for over a year, finally bringing the matter to my attention, and I prevailed on the company to send the man his $6, as the claim was a just one. Many instances of this kind are re ceived in the mail by the board, but usually the applicant is informed that the board can do nothing, having no jurisdiction in the premises. It is not fair, because the man happens to be poor, and the claim small, that he should be deprived of his just dues. A law along these lines would result in great benefit to the citizens of Kan sas. "I have always been a stickler for service and accommodations for the traveling public, and am of the opin ion that the laws applicable to this subject are sufficient, and I mean to see to it during the next two vears that the people who patronize the rail roads in this state get good service. Many branch lines need the attention, also, of the board." Mr. Ryan has been active as a mem ber of the commission during the past four years, and is entitled to the credit for several rules and orders that have resulted in convenience to the travel ing public; the bulletining of the trains was through an order suggested by Ryan ana this has resulted in much good; recently, however the order has been allowed to lag and any new rule looking toward an improvement in this direction will be welcomed by the citi zens of Kansas who have already shown their confidence in Ryan by giv ing nim a great, Dig majority for a third term at the last election. He is an old-time telegrapher and a member of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, an organization comprising about 50,- 000 members in the united States, and. therefore, on account of his experience in telegraphic worK, would be quali fied to suggest rules for the movement of trains. AND BEN PROMISED. "Shorely" He Will Xever Sell Liquor Again. Ben Jordan has promised to quit peddling liquor for at least the fiftieth time. He's a great promiser is Ben. He has promised to go to the soldiers' home. He asked Judge Dana to dis miss the charges against him and promised never again to appear in court charged with a crime. Judge Dana looked solemnly at the prisoner a minute and granted the request. When Jordan entered the court room this morning his head was bandaged and he leaned heavily on his cane. Carefully the old negro felt his way along the corridors for old Ben Jor dan's eyes are not as strong as they used to be In the court room, John Schenck, retfring county attorney, told the court of Jordan's promise. "Old Ben was one of the first men I prosecuted when I came into the coun ty'attorney's office," said Schenck, "he has peddled booze as long as the old est residents can remember. He has no excuses to make. He says, how ever, if we will let him off this time, he will go to the soldiers' home and never return. That looks like a good bargain. If Ben makes good, it will save Shawnee county a lot of money. "Now. there's that welt on Ben's head. It shouldn't prejudice this court in the least. That welt is the result of a cele bration of Ben's eightieth birthday. This is a good time to close up an old account and I am in favor of it." "Jordan." said the court, "will you promise that if we let you oft this time, you will never, never come back?" "Hones' yer honur," said the old negro as he tried to look into Judge Dana's face, "I shorely promise." "'en this case is dismissed," said the court. The little crowd in the court room this morning smiled as old Ben Jordan walked out 01 -ne Dunaing. tie is a relic of the old days when liquor was easier to find. When prohibition law began to pro hibit and whisky was hard to buy. Jordan was one of the men who came boldly to j me iront ana neipea proviae a supply ot refreshments from over the line. He is an old soldier and a few days ago cele brated his eightieth birthday. This even ing Jordan promises to start for Leaven worth, where he will stay for keeps In the Soldiers' home.

4 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1911. OAPSTHESGHOOLS Judge Estelle l'oints Out Defects In System. Children Are All Thrown Into One Hopper. THE BASIC PRINCIPLE. Should Be Character Building Says Juyenile Judge. Tells Girls How They May HaTe a Good Time. "Boys and girls are picked up by our common school system," declared Judge Lee S. Estelle, of the juvenile court In Omaha, Neb., in the course of an address delivered before a large audience under the auspices of the So cial Service club of the First Methodist church, "and thrown into one hopper I don't say to root, hog or die but at anyrate are expected to come out just so "An education that hasn't character building as Its basic principle Is a men ace and a threat instead of a blessing. Our system sometimes tries to drive love out of a boy's brains and put mathemetics in its- place. However I do not want you to get the impression that I am a knocker." These remarks were made In com menting on a story told. One morning according to the speaker, a mother and a small boy entered his office, the moth er stating that she intended to send her ton to the reform school. "You just leave him here with me until you return at 4 o'clock," was the comment of Judge Estelle. "I've never yet got a boy to look me in the face," continued the speaker, "that I couldn't win. "Well, I had that boy with me al most all day without getting his atten tion. I showed him how to tie a rope and splice it, but couldn't interest him. Then I commenced singing him songs. That didn't affect him at all. Next I told him a story that happened in my own life that didn't phase him, al though I thought it was a pretty in teresting story. 'I cut designs in paper here the judge Bhowed his audience how he did it) and kept up that sort of a thing from 9:30 to 3 o'clock. I took him out for lunch. He wouldn't eat a bite. "When we got back to the office I just happened to put my hand on a ipencil, and that pencil solved the prob lem. I saw George had his eyes turn ed towards the sheet of paper. "He said, 'Which is the front of the mule. Oh, give me the pencil.' I asked him if he could draw the court house and he did so. putting in every little detail. He had been taken to an art exhibit at one time 1 learned after wards, and had stood for two hours en tranced with one picture not more than two feet square.

The fad for surgery appears to be dying the death that is the common late of all fads gradually going out of fashion. Surgery never was really popular with its victims. Jo one real ly wants to be cut to pieces: we would all much prefer to remain whole as nature made us, and if we are sick we would prefer to be cured by tho scientific use of various drugs and medicines that an all-wise Creator has provided for the curing of disease, Few men have ever submitted to the Burgeon's knife except when frightened into It by being told by tha Burgeon that It was tne only nope. An other reason that surgery is not popu lar is that the person who is operated upon is rarely well. If the original ail ment is "cut out," quite often a new one, as bad or worse, is brought on by the operation. Since it has been demonstrated time and again that the intelligent scientific application of medicines will cure many conditions which were formerly considered hopeless, the Topeka Insti tute of the United Doctors, on the second floor of 610 Kansas avenue, has become a court of last resort for those who are Bick with chronic diseases, Mr. Bert Skeeters. of Milford, 111., writes to the United Doctors, saying: "About four years ago I was taken with a pain in the abdomen. This pain came on suddenly and I was com polled to immediately take to my bed where I suffered the most excruciat ing pains for from two to six days. A doctor was always called in at these times and he invariably said that was suffering from appendicitis and that nothing would save me frofft- death but an operation, and that every time I had this trouble I was just that much nearer death. "Well, I decided that it I must die, I would, die without any operation and every time one of these attacks came -on I certainly did Buffer enough to carry- any. ordinary Individual oft of the earth. At one time when was very low I managed to get to the office of the United Doctors. The doctor In charge informed me that he could cure me without any opera tion if we could ward oft another acute attack for the next thirty days. "On his promises, I started in with their treatment, and I have now beet taking for six months and there has been no pain for four months and feel that I am cured of the diseased condition of my bowtfls, but am con tinuing the treatment, as the doctor savs I must for some time yet. "I would advise anyone suffering from the same trouble I had to go t them as they have certainly cured me when all others nd given up hopes, "J3RT SKEETER3." message from me girls tell mother, and mothers confide in your girls. "Any fellow who comes to see our daughter, Mary Lee. will have to have a certificate of physical condition. Mothers are you satisfied to see if the fellow who cornea to see your daugh ter has properly creased trousers or wears his diamond studd in just the right place? "Mothers you make them bring some kind of a certificate of moral and phys ical decency." The speaker gave Dr. Loveland credit for being an effective helper. Prior to the address by Dr. Estelle the members of the Social Service clb of the church about 100 men enjoyed a banquet. Dr. F. L. Loveland urged the men to see to it that the legislators are given a church-home while they are in Topeka; WEARS $2,000. COAT. Washington Society Girl Has Garment Made of Tiger Skin.

DENNIS IS FREE. Juds ;e Dana Paroles Man Who Says He Is Israel. Late Friday afternoon Judge Dana granted Alfred J. Dennis permission to furnish a $500 bond for good be havior and he will escape a penitentiary sentence,-it fie -avoids shady deals in tho future. The old man has gone to his home, where his wife is quite sick. Dennis has 'been in jail six' months. He was convicted in the September term of the district court on a charge f embezzlement, but sentence had not been pronounced. Judge Dana has made it possible for Dennis to live in peace and quiet in his reclining ears, but any "Israel" or chosen prophet deals will land him in the penitentiary. It was shown at the recent trial that Dennis persuaded William Klee to hand over $1,200 on a threat that the Klee's first born should perish if the currency was not forthcoming. Den nis was himself a cunning witness and on cross-examination made but one mistake. That was when he told J. J. Schenck, county attorney -that he "la bored" with Klee to provide funds for new tabernacle. The word "la bored" did not set well with the jury and Dennis was convicted. The heavy January docket was re lieved at the afternoon session when the state dismissed a number of an cient cases on the docket. Many of these cases have dragged through sev eral terms and possessed little or no merit. These cases were mainly against people' arrested on a 'charge of selling liquor, or for statutory crimes. Their dismissal will reduce the total state cases for trial at the January term to about sixty. E. R. Simon, county attorney-elect, has been reviewing the "live" cases and most of them will be disposed of at the January term, which convenes Mon day. REFUSE TO CAUCUS.

WHEAT Cheap Aus tralian and Argentine offers at Liverpool had a bearish effect today on the wheat market here. Local longs unloaded quite freely. Goad support, however, developed at a shade under a dollar. Considerable of the buying was for houses that had been sellers on the advance yesterday. Trade was of fairly large proportions. Prices opened c to c lower. May start ed at $100 to $1.00, a loss of c to c, touched 97cg.$1.00 and ralllied to $l.Q0i 1.00. Later the demand for wheat slackened and the pressure increased. The close, however, was firm with May at $1.00 a. net loss or 'tea'AC CORN Corn turned stronr after sin easy period at the outset. The reason for the change was a dispatch asserting that unless there was a rain at once in Ar gentine that country would not harvest half an ordinary crop.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1911. OUR YEAR TERMS Sentiment Appears to Such a Change. FaYor Daris of Kiowa Belieyes Question Beady for Submission. CLOSE IN LAST jSESSION Joint Resolution Had the Neces sary Majority. But It Failed to Get Necessary Two-Thirds in House. Commenting today on the discus sion revived recently regarding an amendment to the constitution to pro vide that state officers be elected for a term of four years, J. W. Davis, representative from Kiowa, expressed himself in favor of such an amend ment as follows: "The constitution should be amend ed so as to prescribe a four years term for state officers, and they should be ineligible to re-election, and inelig ible, also, to hold any other office dur ing the term for which they are elect ed. A concurrent resolution to that effect was offered in the house at the last session, and received the approval of a joint session of both the house and senate judiciary committees, but afterward failed to receive the neces sary two-thirds majority in the house. Some of the persons who opposed it and voted against it, and denounced It as an 'un-American' doctrine, are now in favor of it, and are even claim ing credit for the proposition. There are two sides to the question, but the weight of opinion is in favor of the amendment." It was Mr. Davis who introduced the resolution he speaks of and a minor ity report was made by the judiciary committee on the resolution. The ma jority report against it had only one majority. G. H. Buckman of Win field, chairman of the committee, signed the majority -report against the resolution. The minority report, as found in the last house journal, reads a.i follows: "The minority of the members of the committee attending the meeting believe that the resolution ought to be adopted by the house. A short time ago the judiciary committee of the house and senate met in a Joint ses sion and this proposed amendment was one of the three most favorably regarded by the meeting of the joint committee. Since that time one or two members of the house committee have apparently changed their views on that question, which leaves those fav oring the resolution in a minority of one. "This committee would respectfully urge that in its judgment the time has come in Kansas when state officers hould hold for a period of four years and be ineligible for re-election. Such a policy would give greater stability to our laws and enable state administra tions to more effectually carry out state if policies. The vast expense attending a primary election would be largely avoid ed. We also believe that the state ex ecutive officers should be ineligible to re-election and that the temptation and opportunity should be removed for the upbuilding of a great political machine .to further personal ambitions. We ex press the hope that the house will en tertain the soundness of these views and that the resolution will pass." The minority report was signed by Jay J. Buck, S. L. Ryan, T. F. Morri son, J. W. Davis, C. W. Eeeder. Frank J. Morrill. There is a fast growing sentiment over the state as expressed by news papers and politicians in favor of the four-year term for state officers. Such a plan would, in a measure, remove the state from the unrest and expense of a state election every other year, and would enable a state administra tion to stand on its own bottom from the first and not be busy during the first two years planning to hold office the next two years. The plan is suc cessful in Missouri. It is believed that a resolution to thus amend the consti tution will be presented early In the next session. J. J. Veatch. of Washington county, a veteran of the last house. Is here today. Mr.Veatch has some pronounced views on many Important matters and he says he will give them expression during the session. For instance, he is opposed to the building of the medical hospital at Kansas City, Kan., and will hew to the line on Auditor Nation's cut of the appropriations for the state Institutions. The proposed swimming pool for Manhattan made the Washing ton member snort in disgust. ."The farmer boys in my time used to wade knee deep in the mud to get in the creek," he said, "and now they want h cement bath tub to swim In." Mr. Veatch will also oppose the new ath letic field for K. TJ. He favors the con solidation of boards as proposed by Auditor Nation, and believes that the penal institutions should be placed un der the board of control. The following state senators are In the city today: J. A. Milligan of An derson, C. I Harris of Butler, A. F. Winter Winds Buffet in Vain Against Well Nurished Bodies. meets the body's requirements for those essentia! elements which provide true nourishment. It is the product of a food expert. "There's a Reason" Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Smith of Cowley, E. F. Porter of Craw ford, C. S. Huffman of Cherokee, L. S. Cambera of Neosho and H. W. Avery of Clay. H. T. Laidlaw of Tates Center, a new member of the legislature, will Introduce a bill providing that the three-fourths vote of a jury shall be sufficient to render a verdict In civil cases. It ia understood that the gov ernor will make some such recom mendation In his message to the legis lature. Robert Stone'of Shawnee, candidate for speaker of the next house, is con vinced that he has enough votes pledged him to receive the caucus nomination on the first ballot. He stated today that he had pledges from a majority of the members in all the congressional districts except the Third and Eighth. Buckman Is from the Third and Matson from the Eighth district. The Kansas City Journal, In an editorial, presents the Stone case with the Odd Fellows as follows: "As might have been expected, the opponents of Mr. Robert Stone, in his candidacy for the Kansas speakership, are trying to defeat him by calling to mind Mr. Stone's connection with the long litigation over the De Boissiere estate. The Journal has many times taken occasion to condemn the long series of attacks made on James A. Troutman and Robert Stone, formerly partners in law, for their connection with this litigation. Every step on their part was an absolutely proper one from every point of view. "A Frenchman named De Boissiere started a silk plantation in Franklin county, Kansas. In 1892 De Boissiere made a deed for over 3,000 acres to five trustees, or their successors, for ever, it being the duty of the trustees to handle the property as a home for the orphans of Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows, having no control of the prop erty as against the trustees, declined to accept the alleged gift and the property therefore reverted to the heirs of De Boissiere. Troutman and Stone represented the heirs and es tablished their right to the property. Subsequently they bought out their former clients. Then came a series of suits by the trustees who had lost their fat jobs, and by the Odd Fellows de siring to recover money they had paid to the trustees. Every form of attack that ingenious lawyers could make was made on the Troutman and Stone holding. Suits were brought in the name of every possible plaintiff. In cluding the state of Kansas. Every suit of every nature whatsoever was thoroughly tried and every time re sulted in the vindication of Troutman and Stone without qualification. The Journal watched every suit carefully, correctly foretelling the result in every case." There has been some talk of a reappor tionment of congressional as well as sen atorial districts at this session. The plan is to remove Shawnee from the First con gressional district to the Fourth district. Then Pottawatomie county could be taken from the Fourth and given to the First district. Toe First district as it Is now composed has more population than the Fourth. Leavenworth end Atchison, the two large cities of the district besides Topeka, are located on the Missouri river and their interests do not "jibe" very well with those of Topeka. It is believed that both Con gressman Anthony of the First and Con gressman Jackson of the Fourth district would be agreeable to the change. Ex-Senator Tom Noftzger has prepared a bill calculated to equalize tne work of the district judges of the state. The bill provides for a north and south judicial circuit and empowers the supreme court to call any judge in one circuit to hold court in any county in his circuit, depend ing on where he was needed most in the 4" ement of the court. In other words, if the judge of an eastern county was over whelmed with work the supreme court could call a judge from a less populous county to help him out. The bill will be submitted to the state bar association, which meets this month, before It is sent to the legislature. It divides the Judicial circuits as follows: Leavenworth, Atch ison, Shawnee, Douglas, Franklin, Ander son, Dickinson. Marion, -Geary, Morris, Cloud, Republic, Washington, Mitchell, Osborne, Jewell, Smith, Phillips. Norton, Decatur. Rawlins. Cheyenne, Riley, Mar shall, Clay. Doniphan. Brown. Nemaha, Russell. Ellis, Trego, Gove, Logan, Wal lace. Wyandotte. Ottawa. Saline, Ells worth, Lincoln. Rooks. Graham, Sheridan, Thomas. Sherman, Pottawatomie, Wa baunsee, Osage, Jackson and Jefferson. The south judicial circuit would be made up as follows: Coffey. Lyon. Chase, jiourbon. Linn, Wilson, Neosho, Reno. Harvev, McPherson. Johnson, Miami. Cherokee, Chautauqua. Elk, Greenwood, Butler. Montgomery, Labette, Sedgwick, Sumner, Cowlev, Rice. Barton, Stafford, Kingman. Pratt. Barber. Harper, Ford, Kiowa. Clark. Meade, Gray, Comanche, Seward, Stevpns. Morton, Haskell, Grant, Stan-on, Finney, Kearny, Hamilton, Rush, Ness. Lane. Scott, Wichita, Greeley, Pawnee, Edwards, Hodgeman, Woodson and Crawford. BOY SCARED TO DEATH. Dies From Acute Mania Following a Dog Bite. New Tork. Jan. 7. Richard Walsh, 8-years-old, is dead In his Brooklyn home of "nervous shock and acute mania due to a dog bite," according to the physician's certificate. The boy, a lad of exceedingly nerv ous tamperament, was bitten by a dog a week ago. The wound was slight and iprompt cauterization eliminated all danger, but fears of hydrophobia. In spired by playmates' assertions that he would "bark like a dog," literally scared him to death. The insane dread that he would have hydrophobia threw him into convulsions, which ended in his death. Battle Creek, Mich. ELKINS LAID TO REST. Ia the Cemetery of the Town That Bears His Name. Elkins, Jan. 7. Senator Stephen B. Elklns today is sleeping in the grave yard of this little mountain town. He was laid to rest within a brief time after the funeral train from Washing ton reached the station this morning bearing the bereaved family and rela tives and the friends, both in official life and out. Another special train arrived from Charleston, the state capital, at the same time. It brought Governor Glass cock, his cablnent, the justices of the supreme court and a score or more of state officials. The town to which the late senator had given his name was crowded with mourners who had thronged there from every direction. Many who could not come by rail drove over the mountain roads to pay a last tribute. All business was suspended, flags fluttered at half mast and windows were close curtained. The special train from Washington consisting of seven cars bore a distinguished com pany. Representing the senate were Senators Scott, Bacon, Kean, Bailey, Foster, Carter, Smith of Maryland and Root, The house delegation in cluded Representatives Hubbard, Hughes, Woodyard, Gaines and Stur gis of West Virginia, Andrews of New Mexico; Rucker of Missouri; Alexander of New York; Longworth of Ohio- Calderhead of Kansas and Lambe of Virginia. Mrs. Elkins was not of the party. Overcome by the shock, she was in suoh a condition that her physician forbade her leaving Washington. Of the immediate family there were Miss Katherine Elkins, Mrs. Sarah Elkins Oliphant, Davis Elkins, the oldest son of the senator, Stephen B. Elkins, jr., of New York, Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Elkins, former Senator Henry Gassa way Davis, father of Mrs. Elkins, and Richard Elkins of Philadelphia. The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. F. H. Barron in the Davis Memorial Presbyterian cnurcn. une ceremony was simple in the extreme. The burial was in Maplewood ceme tery, which Senator Elkins and former Senator Davis 20 years ago planned and land out. There were brief rites at the grave by the local lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of which Senator Elkins was a member. Immediately after the interment the congressional delegation and other distinguished members of the party returned on the special to the national capital. Miss Elkins and other members of the family were of the returning party, all of them being anxious to rejoin the stricken widow. FACE MIRROR IN DEATH. Two St. Louis Girls, Arms Inter twined, Drink Carbolic Acid. St. Louis, Jan. 7. Arms Intertwined and facing a mirror to watch their dy ing expressions, Mabel and Isabella Boisseau, sisters, and members of a orominent family, drank carbolic acid last night in a confectionary store here. Mabel died at the city hospital and her sister, Isabella, is not expected to live. Before taking the poison one of the girls requested the proprietor to call a policeman. Not until Mabel fell off her chair writhing in pain was any attention paid to the girls. The second sister dropped to the floor a second after Ma bel collapsed. "We are tired of living," waa the last message written by the partners in the suicide pact. The despondent girls drank the po tions from soda water glasses. ABRUZZI TO WED XENIA. Princess of Montenegro Has Sup planted Miss Elkins, says Report. Berlin. Jan. 7. If reports from au thoritative European sources are to be trusted, Princess Xema, daughter of the king of Montenegro, has healed the wound inflicted on the affections the Duke of the Abruzzl by Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of the late Senator Stephen B. Elkins. It is now said that the formal an nouncement of the engagement of the duke and the princess will be made soon. The young woman 13 described as beautiful, high-spirited and pos sessed of much charm. She was edu cated at the Russian court, is highly accomplished and has been sought In marriage by more than one potentate of Europe. The princess is one of the few women who have Jilted a king. This she did in 1899 when she abruptly broke the engagement that existed between her and King Alex ander of Servia. LIBEL AS MURDEFPLEA. Nevada Jurist Will Present Bill at Opening of Legislature. Carson, Nev., Jan. 7. Chief Justice James G. Sweeney of the state su preme court told the state board of pardons today that "if he lived until the opening of the incoming legisla ture" he would have a bill put before the lawmakers, "making criminal libel grounds for a plea of justifiable homi cide." This declaration by Justice Sweeney was made at the hearing by the board of the Shelor contempt case. Shelor, who was fined and sentenced by the late Judge Peck to Imprisonment for publication of a newspaper article, is asking a remittance of the fine by the pardoning board. CLERGY PLAN COLONIZATION. International Project Said to -Be Working Among Catholics. Chicago, Jan. 7. A colonization project, one of international scope and which will not only attempt to turn the tide of Immigration from the cities to the country, but in a measure to control Immigration to the United States, is being pushed quietly by an organization of the Catholic clergy, ac cording to a news article printed by the Tribune today. The organization is the Catholic Colonization of the United States of America, and its founder and first president is Rev. Julius E. De Vo& pastor of St. John Berchmann's church, Chicago. The object of the organization is three-fold: First, to search out the most available agricultural lands in the United States which are open to colonization, and direct immigrants to these lands; second, to check undesir able immigration to the United States through co-operation with the local clergy in those foreign countries from which the ffreat bulk of Immigrants come, and third, to establish a church ana a. srhonl in oank n i i VI t'UIUUltlS formed in order to give permanence to The first mnv nf tr tn be to send nhrnafl 1 onization" to interest the Catholic clergy of Europe in the project.

"My object is to inform the Ameri can golfers on the new rule, what it means and what has brought it about. What action may be taken at the com ing annual meeting rests with the dele gates, but I am determined that ev ery delegate may have an accurate ac count of what has been done by St. Andrews to guide his vote." Mr. MacDonald's monograph will be ready in a few days and copies will go to all the registered golf clubs of the country and to all delegates to the ap proaching meeting of the United States Golf association. DEATH BLOW IN KANSAS Jury Couldn't Decide Which Injury Jvuiea Murphy. Kansas City, Jan. 7. While wit nesses disagreed at the coroner's in quest as to whether the blow which killed James R. Murphy on New Year's Eve was struck on the Kansas side or the Missouri side of the state line, the coroner's Jury decided the blow which resulted in the death of Mur phy was struck on the Kansas Bide. The jury could not determine which of the three blows Murphy received on the head caused his death. After Murphy's death it was found three ieavy blows had been dealt him on the head, one of them fracturing the skull. Patrolman Owen T. Ward who testified that blood already was flowing from Murphy's head when he arrested him, admitted he struck one of the blows. A blow on the head with a piece of pipe in a barber shop ac counted for the other, but nobody knew wno struck Murphy the third blow. Murphy quarreled -with the state line crowd in his New Year's Eve cele bration, witnesses testified. He had a fight in the saloon, chased two men into a barber shop and finally van quished them. In the barber shop mix-up he received-the blow on the head with the piece o? pipe. Then he returned to the saloon, where Ward and Reynolds found him. When they tried to arrest him he ran across the state line Into Kansas. While they were fighting back and forth at the state line Ward struck the blow. The coroner's verdict ends the prob ability of a prosecution in Missouri, an assistant county prosecutor said after the Inquest. A transcript of the testi mony and the names of the witnesses Who testified will be furnished the board of police commissioners. WILFLEY ON MEXICO. Declares Revolutionary Movement Is of Small Importance. New York, Jan. 7. Judge Lebbeus R. Wilfley, who was the first Judge of the United States court in Shanghai, China, has just arrived in New York from Mexico, where he has been for a year studying mining conditions. Judge Wilfley declares that the revolutionary movement in Mexico is of small import ance. "It is a gross exaggeration to call this disturbance a revolution." said Judge Wilfley. "The uprising was with out organization and was promptly sup pressed by the clever head and strong hand of President Diaz. Nothing re mains now but a guerilla warfare In the mountains. But it is true that a spirit of uncertainty pervades all class es, which is chiefly- due to anxiety re garding President Dial's successor. Ramon Corral.- the vice president, is a very ill man and it is not believed he will regain his health. President Diaz is 80 years old and hence the question of choosing a successor is vi tal to the Mexicans, and also to the foiWgners who have Interests in the country. "The future president of Mexico must be able to control the army and also have the sympathy of the people. A factor that is helpingthe situation Is the policy of substituting younger and more progressive governors of provin ces for those who have been in office." Judge Wilfrey will depart next -week for his home in St. Louis. There are some things too awful to contemplate one is the giving of alcohol in the guise of medicine to boys. We believe Scott's Emulsion is the only preparation of Cod liver Oil that contains absolutely no alcohol, drug or harmful ingredient of any sort.

The raising of sn 1 historic cannon from "Big Hole" in Flat creek, four miles north of Cassville, Mo., was stopped by a deputy game warden, who feared the. use of dynamite migl.t kill the fish. Through the intervention Thursday of Governor Hadley, however, a special permit has been issued to E. F. Heisler of Kansas City, Kan., secretary of the Kansas Soldiers' Memorial asso ciation, and the work is to be resumed without delay. The cannon was captured by the Con federates from Col. George W. Veale's Kansas soldiers in 1864. It was thrown in the "Big Hole" by Gen. Sterling Price's men to prevent recapture. Col. William H. Ryus of Joplin is to direct the work of raising the cannon. Mr. Heisler said yesterday that it would be lifted to the surface of the water and then a big demonstration of Union and Confederate veterans Is to be held on the banks of Flat creek.

University Evolves Enameling Process and Beer Makers Write Thanks. Lawrence, Kan.. Jan. 7. Kansas al ways has been noted for Its attitude on prohibition. Kansas university as an integral part of the state has been closely aligned in this attitude. It has developed, however, within the last few days that the university uncon sciously has aided and abetted tne brewing Interests of certain localities. through falling in witn a scheme ot an eastern brewery. In fact, it seems that the school has had one "slipped over" on it. Two years ago the university accept ed two well endowed fellowships to discover an improved enamel which would resist the action of acids to a greater degree than enamels then in use. The university laboratories were so successful in Improvine the enamel process that they received high com mendation from the concern endowing Women's Secrets There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex pectations is proved by the fact that 98 per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Fierce or his able staff, have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than hali-a-rail-lion women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal. and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases.

A Distinctively Western Kan sas Institution. The Agricultural West. This" school is situated in the center of the great agricultural west, and is applying itself to the solution of the particular prob lems of that country. The inter ests of the western half of Kansas are in no sense hostile to those of the eastern part, but are different The interests of the western half must always be agricultural, and farming of a special tvpe is neces sary for success. The peculiar social and economic problems of the region must be studied and worked out by men on the ground and familiar with the needs of the people. Responsibility of the School. The Western State Normal School is aware of the extent of its responsibility, and has used its means fully to advance the inter ests of the country trioutary to it, One great need of the time is edu cational leadership, and the men and women who are to do things in the future must come from the schools. Rural Education. One of the questions pressing for solution is how to keep young men and women next to the soil. One of the principal means of reaching the end is to improve the rural school. The Western State Normal School has for four years maintained the only model district school in Kansas. This year the school has added the department of Educational Agri culture, not to compete in any way with the Agricultural Col lege, but to train teachers to be leaders in improved methods of farming. In every way the school is striving to aid in the development of all the resources of the great west. Increase in Population. It is to be noted that the great increase in population in Kansas has been in the region served by this school. The sixth and sev enth Congressional Districts, ac cording to the state censua taken last March, show a net increase of 36 in population in the last ten years. Courses of Study. The school offers strong courses in the practical subjects needed in the development of a new country: Manual Training, Do mestic Economy, Commerce and Agriculture, in addition to the usual courses in normal training. For full information address the principal, WILLIAM'S. PICKEN. 106 Eat 6th St. the fellowships. It now develops that the fellowship funds were supplied by an eastern brewery. Recently a fac ulty member received -a letter from the brewery head, thanking the uni versity for the valuable assistance it had rendered the brewing trade. Be fore the new Kansas enamel was dis covered, a brewer could make only 1, 000,000 barrels of liquor without re newing its vats. By usin-the new enamel, it now is possible to make 2, 000,000 barrels before the vats be come rusted through.

Former Convict Sought as Robber of Missouri Pacific Train.' St. Joseph, Mo., Jan.. 7. The lone bandit who held up and robbed the pas sengers and trainmen on the Missouri Paoificv between Leavenworth and Kan- J eas City two weeks ago. is believed by the police and Missouri Pacinc detec tives to be a former convict. The offi cers are keeping the telegraph wires hot In efforts to find him. He was traced from St. Joseph to a point in. Kansas where he discarded some cloth ins. The supposed robber is known as "Blackie," 'Murphy"jand "LaTrasse." His correct narne is William LaTrasse and his picture is in almost every rogue's gallery in the country. Togeth er with Henry Flaherty and Calvin Wheatley LaTrasse is said to have held ud three saloon 'men in St. Joseph three weeks ago. The saloon men and other persons who happened to be on hand at the time, after being robbed, were forced into ice boxes and the locks turned. The victims were rescued in time to prevent serious injury. All three robbers were traced to the Old Transit House in South St. Jos eph, where a battle was put up by the fugitives. Flaherty and Wheatley were captured but LaTrasse leaped from a third story window, notwithstanding an officer was shooting at him. He lost a cap worn on the night of the rob beries here and left this city bare headed. Missouri Pacific detectives know where he purchased another cap after he left St. Joseph. LaTrasse has been arrested in St. Joseph, St. Louis and Kansas City a number of times. Flaherty and Wheatley. in the coun ty Jail here, admit that they, with Trasse, held up many persons in the two Kansas Citys, just before the roo bery in St. Joseph. Their homes are in Armourdale. Chief Zimmer of Kan sas City. Kan., suspected the trio of crimes there. The two prisoners ad mit they did the viaduct holdup and other bold robberies there a month ago. Cruel Truth.

There was more affection than pie in the family of Alexander Harbach, hotelkeeper, 1212 Broadway. That caused Mrs. Harbach to leave her home in Kan sas City and return to farm life in Iowa, where Mr. Harbach's advertise ment for a wife first attracted her no tice and where he later went to marry her. "I didn't have a piece of pie from the day I married that man until I left him six months later," Mrs. Har bach, much in earnest, testified in Judge O. A. Lucas' division of the cir cuit court in the suit her husband brought against her for divorce. "That was a terrible thing, don't you think, judge," she turned to Judge Lucas to inquire. Judge Lucas ad mitted that he liked pie when it was made at home, but he failed to see, he said, why absence of pie should cause such an eruption in the family of Mr. Harbach. "Well, then, judge, he didn't even give me a piece of cake, either," Mrs. Harbach emphasized with a look which meant her words in that respect should carry conviction. Judge Lucas still looked a little skeptical. "On our wedding day that man, my husband, didn't even take me to a single meal at the restaurant with him," the Indignant wife continued. "I didn't even have a piece of pie on my wed ding day, judge. I cried my eyes out right there on the first day we were married. Think of a man treating his wife- that way on that day." Mrs. Harbach then told that tne amount of their grocery bill the first day "at home" at the Vermont hotel. 1212- Broadway, was just 4U cents. Many times after that, she said, the grocery bill for the two didn't exceed 25 cents a day. "'He didn't even give me car fare," she concluded. It developed In the testimony that before her marriage Mrs Harbach led a quiet life on the farm back- in Iowa. One day she- read an advertisement in a matrimonial publication in which Alexander Harbach of Kansas City said he wanted a wife "with some means." That was exactly what she possessed, she wrote him in the first letter. They married, lived together six months and then Mr. Harbach gave her railroad fare and told her to re turn to her father's roof in Iowa. Mr. Marbach sued for divorce. s "I can't see that either one of you is entitled to a divorce," Judge Lucas said after the testimony had been concluded. Boycott Two Newspapers. Grenoble, Jan. 7.

Willis Goes to Chicago Cubs. Chicago, Jan. 7. Pitcher "Vic" Wil lis of the St. Louis Nationals has been awarded to the Chicago Nationals. Word was received from President Lynch of the National league yester day that the Chicago club had won Willis away from Cincinnati by lot. Manager Griffith of the Cincinnati club refused to waive claim to the veteran pitcher when the St. Louis club sought to dispose of his services to the Balti more Eastern league. Knowing that Manager Chance thought well of WiU lis. President Murphy of the Chicago Nationals also interposed a claim for him. That made it necesasry to draw lots and the luck of the draw was with Chicago. The pitcher was obtained by Chicago at the waiver price of 1,500. "Did you get the raise in salary you demanded?"

Judas, the unspeakable; Judas, whose name has been a byword for cen turies; a mock for two thousand years; the most contemptible figure that his tory has ever revealed even Judas is not defenseless, says the New York Journal of Commerce in its Dramatic Reviews.

Her Judas gains little sympathy until by her own power, rather than the playwright s words, she reaches the hearts of her auditors in scenes which depict the sufferings of one who loves in vain. Aside that created by her own en deavors, the effect of the play is not such as the author, John de Kay, in tended. It is weighted with gloom throughout, Judas' sacrifice of the Saviour, even, is without benefit to the betrayer and the net result of the per formance is a wondering, "Why this at all?' the story of his Judas differing with that of the New Testament. He says: "t fin.t him too noble to be bought at any price except the supreme price of the world a woman's love and I find him losing what he loves, which again idealized Magdalene pure in heart at last and a Christian worker, wnom New Yorkers have seen at a theater within a few weeks.

Failing ith this, th2y promise him that Mary Magdalene will be restored to him through the exile of the Saviour. They swear it shall be exile only. The "nob'.e" Judas is thus bribed: h2nce the sophistry. Throwing loyalty and re ligion to the winds, as it were, and with them the whole world, here and hereafter, for all he cares, he shouts: "Follow me! He to whom I give the kiss of peace that will be He. Take find be accursed with me." These aw ful words, which have rung through the centuries in immortal disgrace, are the final v.ords of the play.

Larchmont, N. Y. "Well," Mrs. Foy replied, "since children and baseball are your two greatest pleasures in life, why don't you adopt three more boys old enough to play the game right away? You needn't lose a whole summer that poor widow down near the clubhouse has three of the finest boys I ever saw, and she is just dying for the want of some one to adopt them. You can adopt the widow, too, if you want- I don't care. We have money enough and our villa is big enough." "Fine," said Foy. "I'll do It the boys, I mean, not the widow. I don't need any more in the female line you're enough for me in that depart ment. Call the boys to bat at once." And so Foy was enabled to encour age the two main hobbies of his life children and baseball. At the Majestic. "The Other Girl" which will be the bill for the week beginning Monday at the Majestic, is from the pen pf Amer ica's popular author, Augustus Thomas.

NOTES OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS. Manager Crawford says he obtained a winner when he booked the big mus ical show. "The Newlvweds and Their fBaby." No attraction of a similar na ture has met with such favor. The idea is an entirely new one. The music is delightful and the costumes and scenery exquisite. Israel Zangwill, the author of "The Melting Pot," which comes to the Grand soon, believes that the sexual universal Said he: suffrage should be removed. be a woman." That remak of may account for the prominence not his of the tenor, recovered from their con-f'ss Jane Addams, of Chicago, among tne cnaner memDers or tne wnite side "The Melting Pot" boosting so ciety. "Madame X," the sensational Euro pean and American dramatic success, is one of the noteworthy attractions that Henry W. Savage will offer local theater-goers in the present season. The delightfully sentimental play, "Polly of the Circus," which Frederic Thomson ia to bring to the Grand, is one of the most massive productions on tour. Circus features of the show form a spectacular background. Fresh from its record breaking run in New York, Chicago and Boston, the comedy success of the past two sea sons, "The Traveling Salesman," is headed this way and will be the at traction at the Grand soon. It will rbe Interpreted here by a cast contain ing Mark Smith, Dallas Tyler, Mark Price, Dean Borup and Diana Hune ker in the principal parts.

In a Pose In the Hun garian Dance Two of the Most Striking Dances of Their "Ocular Opera." Mikail Mordkin, the Russian Apol lo, who came to America recently with Mile. Anna Pavlowa, is creating quite as much of a furore in "ocular opera" as his beautiful dancing partner. Eastern opera-goers. particularly among the fair sex. are ravin? over him as what they are pleased to term "a Greek statue come to life" Mordkin is shown in this Illustra tion in two characteristic poses. It was in the Arrow Dance that he jump ed into fame so far as America is concerned, in his brief engagement with the Metropolitan Opera company in New York last spring. He re turned to the United States this fall to fill an engagement of Eix weeks with that great organization, and to make a tour of the principal cities of the United States for a period of twenty weeks. Bare of limb, sturdy and muscular. lithe as an Indian and quick as' a cat, this visitor from Moscow, the ancient capital of Russia, suggests strongly the primitive man. Off the stage he is a very different creature, and were it not for his inability to speak English, might be mistaken for a young Amer ican student. Mail orders for reservations for the engagement at the Grand on Febru ary 3 will be given consideration pre vious to the line sale. .GRAND' FRIDAY, Jan. 13 Seats Wednesday Wm. A. Brady, Ltd.

LOCAL NEWS EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK AS DEPICTED BY SUXDAX. The New Tear Is blown In by a bliz sard of extremely low temperature LAND MEN READY Local Dealers Are Planning Royal Welcome for Yisitors. State Conyention of Realty Men Begins Tuesday. WANT SOME NEW LAWS Land Dispensers FaTor State Bureau of Immigration. The Eugene F. Ware Property Sold for 6,500. The all-absorbing topic of conver sation among the live realty men of Topeka is the convention of the Kan sas Association of Real Estate Agents which begins Tuesday morning at the Commercial club, and continuing throughout Wednesday. The meeting of land men will be of particular importance on account of the fact that the organization has had drafted by a competent lawyer several bills, which, if approved at the meet ing, will be presented before the mem bers of the legislature. Most important of the various bills which will be considered is one which advocates licensing all realty men do ing business in Kansas at $50 per an num, and the creation of a bureau of 'immigration to spend $100,000 which would be derived through the impo sition of such a fee, for the purpose of exploiting the state. The following explanation of the proposed legislation is being sent out by the secretary of the state organiza tion to 2,000 property dispensers in Kansas: The Immigration Bureau. "The Kansas Association of Real Estate Agents will ask the next leg islature to pass a law providing for an Immigration bureau of Kansas and to maintain the same through a license tax to be paid into the state treasury by every real estate agent selling real estate in Kansas. "The greatest good can come to the property owners of Kansas at the present time through a systematically organized immigration bureau. This bureau can be maintained without a cent of expense to the property own ers of the state, and their profits from the sale will be enormous. "After' making a careful investiga tion I find there are about 2,000 le gitimate real estate agents and firms doing business in this state. These agents each paying a license of $50 per annum would create a magnifi cent sum of $100,000. This would all come back to the agents and property owners by increased sales to the large Influx of population that would result from a systematic and extensive ad vertising campaign through the im migration bureau. I believe $100,000 Bpent judiciously for the next ten years would increase the population of Kansas at least half a miilion. "Real estate agents could not Charge $50 per annum to advertising to a better advantage. The secretary of the bureau would make a careful study of the methods of advertising and get the most possible results for the investment. The average real es tate agent is not an advertising spe cialist but spends his money for ad vertising where he is usually influ enced to do so by an advertising so licitor, and the result is he loses his money and if there is any benefit to the community in which agent lives from a general publicity standpoint, the other fallow benefits as much or more than the agent paying the bills. "The immigration bureau should be supervised by the Kansas Associa tion of Real Estate Agents in the manner as the state board of agricul- $3.50 Recipe Cures Weak Kidneys, Free flelleves Urinary and Kidney Trow, bles, Backache, Straining, Swelling, Etc Stops Fain in the Bladder, Kidneys and Back.

MONDAY. which chills Topeka. for another day and brings on gas shortage. ture, the state board of horticulture, the state board of labor and similar organizations. This would keep the bureau out of politics, thus giving it the greatest results possible from the money invested. The members of the Kansas Association of Real Estate Agents would elect the board of di rectors of the bureau and they in turn employ a secretary who would have general supervision of the ac tivities of the bureau. "In other words the association would be the Immigration bureau and every licensed agent would become a member of the association and bureau. The law must provide for a heavy fine and imprisonment for the agent who sells real estate on a commission or opens an office as a dealer before securing a state license through the immigration bureau. Thus, the busi ness would be elevated to the same level as the banking business, the practice of law, medicines or other professions. Members of the bureau would naturally be jealous of their rights and would promptly report vi olations to the secretary, who would at once begin prosecution and upon conviction of the guilty party would be fined or placed In' jail until such 'fine is paid. "As a matter of fact the real estate agent is a semi-public servant and the public should have some voice in per mitting him to do business the same as banks are permitted to operate by the state bank commissioner and by using the money that a large number of agents would concentrate under one head for properly advertising the state the general public would receive a large benefit that is now lost to them and by scrutinizing the reputa tion of the agents through a bureau the public would be relieved from a large amount of unnecessary litiga tion. "There are a number of laws that the real estate fraternity would like to see placed on our statutes but we can't get everything at once there will be another time. The legislature will be busy, and I believ i they will pass such a bill as I have outlined. What we want first, above anything, is that which will be of the most ben efit to the most people with the least possible cost and at the same time elevate our business to a higher level. There will be knockers, there al ways are. We can't all see a propo-' sition alike and the other fellow has his rights which we must respect but it is our duty to show him that our proposition is practical and will do him more good than present condi tions. "A competent lawyer has spent con siderable time In the state library thoroughly investigating court de cisions on this law as it has been drafted and finds that it has been passed on favorably by- the courts of several states." Want Other Laws. The real estate men will probably favor the repeal of the present tax law in respect to mortgages and the substitution of a law which requires a recording fee of one-half of one per cent on all mortgages. This would af fect those in Missouri or any other state who hold Kansas mortgages, and in the opinion of those who insti gated the framing of a bill, would be a more equitable system than the one in vogue at the present time. The bill which has been drawn up is entitled, "An act to provide for written contracts for the payment of the commission for the procuring by one person of a purchaser for the real estate of another." It is thought that such a law would prevent much litigation. Another bill has been framed which would authorize the execution of deeds of trust containing powers of sale to regulate the manner of mak- j ing sales under such power of sale. xne convention program follows: Tuesday, January 10. 9:30 a. m.

Burge, who is the chairman of the advertising committee of the association, and con nected with the Southwestern Land and Irrigation company, which Is now being formed. "Representatives of our company in traveling through Iowa, Illinois and other states," continued Mr. Burge, "find that tons upon tons of advertis ing literature has been received from Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Califor nia and the states in the northwest ex ploiting the advantages of buying property in these states. The result has been that prospective settlers have gone to these states, passing up Kan sas, and this means that the prices in the 'Sunflower state are low as a consequence. Kansas rust get In line with these other states." Sales of the Week. The Garlinghouse Realty company reports the following sales: A dwell ing at 1611 Clay street to L.

Hamilton Man Advances Theory to Explain Disturbances. Thinks Gas Pressure Cause of Ford County Scare. ONCE A PROSPECTOR. At That Time, T. W. Evans Noticed Peculiarities. Other Items of General Interest to Kansas Headers. Galena, Kan., Jan. 7. T. W. Evans, of Hamilton, Kan., who prospected In Central and Western Kansas years ago for gas, believes the recent erup tion, quake or shake in Ford county which cracked the earth to a great depth was due to underlying bodies of gas. Mr. Evans knows that country both above and below ground, hav ing been all over it and having drilled here and there over it for gas. He is one of the original drillers who struck salt in that section of the state. "I was much Interested in the ac count of that particular phenomenon that occurred in Ford county, near Dodge City," says Mr. Evans, "be cause I was prospecting for a local mining company of Little River as its geologist in the years of 1885 and 1886 through the central and west ern counties of the state. "We were looking for indications of coal, chiefly, but did not find any thing that indicated paying quanti ties. We located our drilling ma chine at Little River, because there were strong indication? of salt there, and possibly gas. Our machine start ed to bore the first hole In the great salt deposit of Kansas, enough salt to supply the world for 1,000 years. We got the salt all right, as everyone knows, from 90 to 300 feet thick in some places. "I frequently detected strong odors of gas when we uncapped the casing before starting the machine In the morning. But we thought the flow too weak to amount to anything. Af ter we went through the salt we were content and quit. We went down only 800 feet. Possibly if we had gone down deeper we might have struck a deeper flow of gas. "While I was in the central and western part of the state I did not have the proper facilities for making a geological survey. But subsequent years of observation and experience lead me to believe that there are local fields of gas throughout the central and western .portion of the state. But not to the extent that we have it in the southeastern part owing to the lack of large deposits of carbonated shale." SOLDIERS AT LEAVENWORTH. Thirteenth Infantry Will Sail in Light Order to Islands. Fort Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 7. When the Thirteenth Infantry leaves here for the Philippines in April the ten mules of the machine guns de tachment and the twenty horses for orderlies will be left behind for the Incoming regiment.

Some cheer ful idiot relieved himself recently of the opinion that race suicide will pro gress until this country will Import babies in the coming century and later even the foreign supply will be exhausted. This horrible prospect has reduced Herbert Cavaness, editor of the Chanute Tribune, to a state of hysteria. Which is the more remark able, Cavaness being a confirmed bachelor. From this rhapsody would you not Imagine him a species of Brigham Young? "No more babies no more moth er's lullabies, no more chubby arms around 'Dada's neck, no more wee THURSDAY.

Officials Appeals to State -for Unpaid Reimbursement Due. Lawrence, Kan., Jan. 7. The coun ty commissioners and J. C. Moore have completed an exhaustive search of the records since 1905 which prom ises to return nearly a thousand dol lars into the Douglas county treasury. Several weeks ago the commissioners discovered that Douglas county had received no compensation from the state for the maintenance of destitute insane since the year 1905. An investigation was ordered and it was found that tho state, was in debted to the county in the sum of $986. There is a provision in the statute allowing the counties return remuneration for the care of destitute Insane, who cannot be treated in the state asylums. Such claims held by any county should be filed with the state officers every three months. For some reason the practice was discon tinued here in 1905 and no county clerk since that time knew of such provision. The commissioners have communi cated with the state officers and have been promised that the claim of Douglas county will receive con sideration, despite the fact that it covers a period of several years. J. C Moore took the claim to Topeka and filed It with the auditor. ABILENE EXPECTS TROUBLE. Thinks Its Town Marshal Should Have Some Help. Abilene, Kan., Jan. 7. From the wave of crime sweeping over Central Kansas it is becoming more and more evident that Marshal Engle needs as sistance in his work. Bank robberies and burglaries are happening all around, and there is too much work for one man to handle In policing a city of Abilene's size. After work ing all night long at his duties It ls not unusual for the marshal to be called out of bed and summoned to the scene of some disturbance during the day. He overworked in the ex treme. Mr. Engle has made an efficient of ficer and ls fearless and capable. In a recent case he was badly beaten up while making an arrest. He called for aid but a large crowd stood about and let him get the worst of it. How ever he handled his man Abilene will be the scene of a ser ious crime some day and single hand ed the marshal will be unable to cope with the situation. Then the barn door will be closed and barred after the horse is stolen, probably. DEEDS HOME TO UN IVERSITY. Original Faculty Member Makes Gift to Ottawa Institution. Ottawa, Kan.. Jan. 7. Dr. M. L. Ward, for over forty years connected with the Ottawa university, has given that institution a deed in trust to his beautiful home In Ottawa. Dr. Ward contemplates this to be his last gift to the university with which he has la bored so long and so faithfully as the title will revert to It clear upon his death. Dr. Ward at present lies on a bed in his home suffering with an injured knee, sustained when a heavy limb fell on it about a week ago.

Kan., Jan. 7 Jack rabbits and prairie chickens, are greatly dam aging alfalfa fields in Hodgeman coun ty, according to reports brought in by farmers. Prairie chickens have been especially destructive to growing al falfa this season on account of their habit of feeding in large flocks in fields when the growth of the crop haa been retarded by the dry weather. The birds move in a body, keeping close together, literally cleaning the ground as they feed so close that the roots of young alfalfa are often pulled up with the stems as they proceed. The season is closed for the hunting for prairie chickens, but many farmers on the Pawnee bottoms have been frightening the birds from their fields by firing guns into the air and chasing them with dogs. For many years the law protecting grouse and prairie chickens in Hodge man county was little regarded, but two years ago, when the extermination of the birds was threatened, success ful efforts to enforce the law were made and now they are plentiful, as many as 200 chickens being often seen in a flock. In the open season this ran hunters came from Wichita, Hutchinson and other cities in the state and hundreds of the birds were shot. Although quails and prairie chick ens are so plentiful In tho county farm ers in whose fields the birds forage are quick to prosecute hunters who come into tho country in automobiles, shooting In violation of the law and attempting -.o escape in their machines.

Judge Pollock's Ruling Regarding Peddling of Beer in Kansas. Kansas City, Kan.. Jan. 7. Persons charged, with peddling beer in Kansas must be tried in the courts of this state. Judge John C. Pollock decided this in the United States district court here. According to Judge Pollock's decis ion, if beer is brought into Kansas from another state on a written order. then the agent can claim he is doing an interstate commerce business and not violating the Kansas prohibitory law. But if the beer is loaded in a state other than Kansas and then ped dled in the latter state, the law is vio lated. The case upon which the decision was given was that of a brewing com pany that has its warehouses at Still- ings. Mo., across tne .Missouri river bridge from Leavenworth. It ls al leged agents of the company sold beer In Kansas. WILLIAM O. McLAIX IS DEAD. Widely Known in Kansas Banking and Industrial Circles. Kansas City, Jan." 7.
