Tote After Long Discussion Was 23 to 15. 5 USE THE HEAVY GUNS Bill Bombarded From All Sides of the Room. Senator Price Points Out Pop ulistic Tendencies. With seven insurgent members rid ing in the band wagon, the stand pat forces this afternoon asain overrode the administration and minority com bination and shattered the hopes of a recall by a decisive vote of 23 to 3 5. As was evidenced in the I. and R. fight, the reform crowd was poorly or ganized and the reactionary orators bombarded from every position with their heavy artillery. Hamilton of Shawnee led the fight for the reform measure. His speech for the resolution brought applause, but Price of Clark attacked the To peka member with a flood of questions that caused the discussion to border on the edge of personal expression. Brew ster criticised th eadvaneed govern ment theories and pointed to the fact that he had twice been called upon to appeal from the oppression of the chair. No sooner had the clerk finished the reading of the resolution than the well oiled machinery of the opposition was set in motion and Brewster, Stew art and Price bombarded the bill from every conceivable source. They de clared that the bill was an echo of the vagaries of an unscruplous administra tion which hoped to inflame the public mind and ride into office on false is Hues. They attacked the plan as an effort to make puppets of real men who bore convictions and endeavored to administer the affairs of their of fice with the best ultimate results. Kvery amendment offered to the bill was voted down and for two hours the statesmen of the upper house shed oratory as a duck shed? water. At noon a motion to adjourn was voted down. With bitter determination the two factions went into the fight to win. They hurled their expressions at the individual members and stubbornly stayed on the job until the final roll call, a few minutes before 1 o'clock. Price sarcastically pointed to the Populistic tendencies of the reformers and declared that as usual the bill oc cupied too much space. He wanted a large slice removed from several sec tions, but it did not take. Then, aided by Stewart of Sedgwick, he offered to increase the size of the resolution. No results. With another amendment in his hand, the Clark county senator heaped denunciations on the men who had framed the bill. He declared that every man was entitled to a day in court; that a man charged of an of fense should receive due notice and be given a proper hearing. He said that the crowd which wore the cloak of true reform came to the senate with a well defined purpose of removing from a nhonest official every convic tion they possessed. He said the ad ministration's desire was not to make good officials, but to make cowards of the men who held the offices of public ;rust, that they behind the scenes might build up a powerful machine. Stewart was equally incensed. He wanted the district In which the recall was presented, to guarantee to the of ficial his expense in case the recall failed. He criticised the bill generally and dug up history to show that it was a bad thing. "If this act had been on our statute books the last 50 years," declared Stewart, "we would have recalled Lewellyn. Leedy, and Morrill. We would have not only recalled Edmund G. Ross for his vote in the United States senate, but we would have hanged him because of his vote for Andrew hnston. Honest, fearless public officials should be protected and this bill removes from them every de fense. FVr these reasons I am against the bill in its entirety." Robertson implied. He said the Stew art amendment would wave the red flag in the state and make the en forcement of law a laughing stock. He pleaded to give the people a chance t express their sentiments and argued for the passage of, the bill and the slaughter of the Stewart amendment. The amendment was defeated. Senator Hamilton declared that the fear of recall existed in the minds of the men who opposed the bill. He pointed to the situation in Topeka and declared that no recall was attempted, although the commission gave to the people the chance to remove Mayor BIHard if they so desired. Hamilton then showed the workings of the law in Seattle, where the mayor of the city removed by more than 4,000 majority. Hamilton believed that the mayor of Seattle was naturally op posed to the law, and likened the iandpat members to the Washington cfmcrltlon. "If this bill had been in force at the time of the battle of Bull Run," said Brewster, "President Lincoln would have been recalled and our country would have fallen. I want these moil to tell me where we are drifting. Here Is a party platform measure in which no man in this senate had a word in the making. It was built in advanc and shoved down the throats of the men who attended the meeting, regard less of the opposition to many of the platform policies." Brewster declared that he raised an objection on the floor of the rmmri but overruled and told he should have made his protests the previous day and before the resolutions were read. He appeateu iu rne insurgents to tell him if this was the policy of good govern ment by and for the people. Then 71 row- tter referred to the gag rule of the sena.ee anu asKeu it tfte administration endorsed it. It was at this stage of the wnro,i. ings that Price tapped the big vein of oratory oi ine session ana sent the reformers to rne repair shop. The Ash land lawyer waded into the enemy with a load of argument that brought heat ed retaliations from Hamilton and it reauired the attention of Richard Hop kins, president of the senate, to hold down the lid. "I am against these vagaries," de clared Price, "and I want to state right now that I would rather go down to defeat with a little party of my clan than to ride in the front seat of the band wagon driven by the men who de pend on inflaming public mind to se cure an office. I was in the party council. I saw Governor Stubbs reach in his vest pocket and say he had the resolution, which had not been chang ed for two weeks. I saw a United States senator ask the resognition of the chair and offer an amendment. I heard the chairman tell that senator that amendment and debate was out of order. I want my reform friends and neighbors to tell me if I am bound by those resolutions and the gag; rule s was applied by the reformers in that party council. If some of us lived in South America, we would start a rev olution in 15 minutes if we tried such tactics. Yet on the floor of the senate, these men ask in all sincerity and good faith that you increase the pressure and add a few more volts. "Do you want to know why I am opposed to this bill?" asked Price. "It is simply because you would place a full fledged demogogue at the head of any institution, enable him to stir up the people and use privileges that should belong to no man. The people look to this senate as a leader. They look to us to point the way. Are you afraid to do it," and Price pointed out a half dozen members as he asked the question, "are you too busy listening to the rabble tb give to Kansas the things it needs?" To these remarks Hamilton took keen exception. He abused the stand pats for neglect of duty and infidelity to their constituents. "I believe the people should tell the derelict officials where to get oft," said Hamilton, "and this bill will give them a chance to right the wrongs that have been imposed upon them. Too many officials owe their jobs to one man and not to the public. I want to see these men serve the public. Not that man. Four years ago I made a race on the recall theory. I won. But, I was opposed by the railroads and every corporate interest in Shawnee county. Why? Because that is not the kind of a law they want." Hamilton and Price then cross fired until Hopkins interferred. On the roll call, Avery, Brown, Fowler, Ganse, Harris, Hostrup and Smith, of the insurgent wing, voted against the bill. The roll call was as follows: For: Anderson, Brady, Cambern, Cooke, Denton. Hamilton, Hodges, Huffman, Milton, Murphy, Myers, Potter, Quincy, Robertson, Stannard. Total 15. Against: Avery, Brewster, Brown, Caldwell, Carey Fagerberg, Fowler, Ganse. Glenn. Harris. Hostrup, Hun ter, Lower, Milligan, Overfleld, Porter, Price, Reed, Smith, Stavley, Stewart, Stillings, Travis. Total 23. Not Voting: Bender, Chapman (ex cused.) Richard J. Hopkins, president of the senate, was given a chance this morn ing to vote. His vote came on a di vision of the senate as to whether that body should adjourn until 4 o'clock Monday afternoon or until 10 o'clock Saturday morning. The vote stood 18 to 18. Hopkins lined up for more work and declared that the senate would hold its first Saturday session this week. Immediately following the recall fight, the senate adjourned for the afternoon. Frank L. Travis' bill to prohibit members of the legislature holding state appointment, was killed this morning when placed on third reading. The bill was recommended for passage by the senate committee of the whole, but the administration fixed Its ma chinery and killed the Allen county senator s bill to cripple the power of the governor. Travis felt sure of the adoption of his bill after Its favorable consideration of Wednesday and the defeat this morning was not expected. The vote was 16 for to 20 against. Senator Brady this morning intro duced a bill to keep all state buildings open on Sunday afternoors where such buildings contain museums or other exhibits. The Brady bill provides for keeping the buildings open between the hours of 1:30 and 5 o'clock p. m. This bill will affect the State Historical society, Kansas university and State Agricultural college. Senator Ganse this morning intro duced a bill to compel express com panies in every town in which offices are maintained to deliver all express packages promptly and fixes a fine for violations of this act at from $5 to 100. Senator Clad Hamilton this morn ing introduced a bill providing a new salary scale for the officers of the court of Topeka. Under the terms of the bill which he presented the follow ing salaries will be allowed: Judge, $1,800 a year; clerk of the court, $1,200 a year: marshal of the court, $1,000 a year; deputy marshal, $900 a year. The new salary scale is to be come effective after its passage by both houses and publication in the of ficial state paper. By a vote of 26 to 9, the Hutchin son state fair bill passed the senate this morning when called on third reading. Many members left the sen ate chamber before the roll call and a call of the senate resulted. After fifteen minutes seven Hutchinson friends were found and they threw the victory to the salt town by a decisive vote. The roll call was as follows: For Anderson. Brridv. Brewster, Brown, Caldwell, Cambern, Carey, Fagerberg. Fowler, Glenn. Harris, Hos trup, Huffman, Hunter, Lower, Milli gan, Milton, Murphy, Myers, Over- field. Porter, Price, Reed, Robertson, Stillings, Travis. Total. 2 6. Against Avery, Cooke, Ganse, Hamilton, Potter. Quincy, Smith, Stavely, Stewart. Total. 9. Comic Valentine Out of It. New York. Feb. 10. The old fash ioned "comic" valentine which showed signs of passing a year ago will be al most completely missed on February 14 this year. Wholesale distributers here report a brisk business but say orders from all parts of the country are notable tor the tact that thev nrao tically eliminate the comic. The pest cara valentine, a comparatively mod ern conception, leads the fashion this year, with burnt wood and leather novelties next in demand. Little Change at Des Moines. Des Moines, Feb. 10.

Goyernment Forces Number 325; the lnsurrectos 200. Victory Costs Them the Loss of but One Man. Mulato, Feb. 9. Via Presidio, Feb. 10. Mexican forces under General Luque have sustained another defeat in the attack on insurrectos whom they have been fighting in this vicinity for the last week. Today the federals assaulted the Insurrecto forces en trenched about Mulato. They were re pulsed after a battle lasting five hours. Frequently during the assault Ameri can troops on the opposite side of the Rio Grande were under fire. Shells from field guns used by the federals crossed the river, bursting dangerously close to the men of troop H of the Third United States cavalry which pa trolled the river bank. It is declared by witnesses that frequently the fed erals, chagrined at the fruitlessness of their assault, deliberately turned th-2ir guns at groups of women and children who had sought refuge on the Ameri can side of the stream. One shell irom the federals' fire burst near Captain Williams of the cavalry, killing an Insurrecto who was watchinir the battle from the Ameri can side. The federals withdrew after fierce fighting. It Is expected that de spite their losses they will renew the attack tomorrow (Friday). The in surrectos had been warned that federal soldiers were coming. They took a position on a hill near the town. In tho adobe houses and behind the banks of an irrigation ditch. The federals ap proached in battle line with Infantry next to the river, cavalry on the right ide, and artillery in the center. After shelline the town at long range, the soldiers advanced and the insurrectos opened fire. Ihe nottest fte-ht took Dlace along the ditch. Twice the federals captured the ditch but each time were driven out by the rebels. In the last charge, the Insurrectos were led bv a Scot, F. S. McCombs, and an American. Seven Mauser rifles were captured in this charge. The fed erals numbered 325, according to their own announcement. The insurrectos had 200 men in Mulato. The Mexican soldiers were commanded by General T.iirme and Colonel Dorantes. me m- stirrectos by "JTorribo Ortega ani Emilio Salgado. It Is impossible to estimate the number of killed today. The bodies of eight coldiers have been stripped of their weapons but many more were carried off the field. Only one insur recto. Emilio Lopez, was killed. The Mexican soldiers withdrew a mile from their position and camped. Tonight the insurrectos are moving to a better position and there is frequent firing between outposts. Customs In spector Tom Perrine, and Lee Grigsby were fired upon by Mexican soldiers, and their pack horses were shot. Dur ing the fight Deputy Marshal Eugene Warren disarmed several refugees. Captain Williams has notified General Luque that there must be no more fir ing across the river. More Troops to the Border. El Paso, Feb. 10. Colonel Sharpe, commanding the United States troops, was advised this morning that addi tional troops would be sent here at once to guard the border. Moving Into Arizona. Nogales, Feb. 10. Ftmds in the Mexican banks in Nogales, Sonora, have been transferred to the bank here and all cars of freight on the Mexican side have been brought to the Arizona side. Sixty cavalrymen are now guard ing the border on the American side. Orozeo Is Still Waiting. El Paso, Feb. 10. Rain, rare here at this season, soaked the unprotected revolutionaries at Raneho Flores last night and today. Orozeo is awaiting developments. No news of fighting has been received since yesterday nor has new word of Navarro arrived. Orozeo is keeping his plans secret. Orozeo's Brother Was at Baker. Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 10. Former Baker students, who were in the uni versity four or five years ago, are tak ing more than a passing interest In the campaign waged by Pasqual Orozeo, the Mexican insurrecto, around Juarez. For students of '05 to 07 remember a tall, lithe, distinguished looking Mexi can who attended the university. He had a patrician face, and though he was reserved and mingled Httie witn his fellow students, what associations he had with the collegiate body re vealed a refinement which marked him as a member of some of the older senor families. The slender brown. Mexican was named Ezaqureo Orozeo and when he suddenly left school after two years attendance, ne was accom panied away by a less distinguished thoughtful looking man named Pas- qual Orozeo. While Orozeo is undoubtedly a com mon name in a country where every third inhabitant answers to the name of Jesus, yet there is little opportunity for confusion in both given names. In the minds of the students who remem bered Orozeo, with his abstracted air and several historical books on early republics always tucked under one arm, there is little doubt that he was a brother of the revolutionary leader, who with Jack London is inciting the Mexicans to rebel against the oppres sion of President Diaz. Wind Brings Up Temperature. A south wind blowing fifteen miles an hour from the south brought the temperature up 31 degrees from dawn to 2 o'clock. The temperature was 13 degrees higher at 2 o'clock than at the same time Thursday. Fair weather is forecasted for tonight and Saturday. Hourly temperatures: 7 o'clock 22!ll o'clock 40 8 o'clock 23112 o'clock .....48 9 o'clock .....29! 1 o'clock 50 10 o'clock .....36 2 o'clock 53 Wind Fifteen miles an hour from the south THREATJF: WAR. Chinese Students Issue an Ulti matum to GoTernment. They Are Opposed to Borrowing Money From Foreigners. LIVES OF MINISTERS Are Made the Object of the Same Hostility. People Seem Inclined to Play "Dog in the Manger." Peking, Feb. 10. Indications are not wanting In these days of the grow ing hostility throughout the country not only to the granting of foreign railway concessions but even to ob taining money from abroad for the construction of these lines which the government is anxious to build. The student body of the province of Sin Kiant has issued what amounts to a proclamation threatening the govern ment with war should further loans be arranged with foreigners.- Some time ago a man from- the- province of Hupeh appeared in the court yard of the bureau of communications and threatened In Chinese fashion to kill himself on the spot unless a railway concession were given him. The ruse was adopted of telling him to go back to his people and raise the necessary money by subscription, an impossible task and the fellow went away re joicing and declaring that he had ob tained his concession. Such incidents, and constant threats on the lives of ministers, are only indi cations of the present general hostility to what is considered the aggression of foreigners on the integrity of China, The members of the government ap pear to ba seriously hampered, though in the opinion of the diplomatists here a strong policy would dissipate or crush all absurd hostility. It is the declared policy of the gov ernment to proceed with the building of railroads, believing them to be es sential to the very, object which tha people desired, the,' strengthening of China. The government Is aware from frequent experience, that sufficient money to construct any given line I only obtainable within the country with the greatest difficulty and at higher rates of interest than it can be procured from abroad. The explanation is; the wealthy claos have no confidence, in Chinese admin istration while foreigners are in posi tion at all times to, press for the in terest and repayment of loans. The legations are pf the opinion that at the proper time the government will be pleased to receive a little pressure with regard to the llukuan and other claims now in abeyance as this pres sure can be made bthe government an excuse to the people for compliance with foreign demands. LOSES FORTUNE AT 107. Aged Indian Will Start Anew If He Can Not Recover Mine. Kansas City, Feb. 10. Unconcerned by the weight of 107 years, but greatly worried because he lost his title to a mining claim In Montana, Foster J. Foster, grandson of "Red Jacket," chief of the Seneca Indians in Nw York in Revolutionary times, is in Kansas City to take legal steps to recover the pro perty out of which he declares he was cheated. If he cannot do he says, 'he will select new business and start all over again. 'l don't know what nerves are. and I haven't an ache or a pain to worry me," he said last night at a Kansas City, K&n.. boarding house, "out it does worry me to lose the results of many years of work. The claim referred to is located on Clark's creek, near Helena, Mont., and Foster, who was one of the original prospeotors. received stock in the com pany in payment for the claim. Later, he says, the promoters got possession of sLock. claim and everything. "The claim was beyond 'Hangman's Tree.' he said, "and one time my partners and I had $50,000 worth of machinery and tools, when the Co manches and Apaches swooped down, burned up everything and drove us away. We finally got started anew, and now, at tills age, I am cleaned out again." Foster says he was born in 1804 on what now is Seneca street in Buffalo, N. Y., whiah then was an Indian vil lage. His father was Alpheus Foster, a Scotchman, and his mother was the daughter of "Red Jacket." He has visited nearly every part of the United States, has teen a scout, government secret service man, vender of herb3 and a gold miner. SIX WITNESSES HEARD. Humbert! Murder Hearing Has Not Reached Vital Point as Yet. Marysville, Kan., Feb. 10. Up to noon today only six witnesses had tes tified in the hearing of the Humberd murder case, four of them Thursday afternoon and two this morning. The evidence was practically the same as given at a previous trial and did not geb into the facta around which the killing centers. Humberd appears cheerful and hopeful and his wife and daughter, who are present at the trial have taken a keen Interest in the hearing. Twenty-five witnesses will be pre sented by the state and about sixty by the defense. Assistant Attorney Gen eral Shukers made the opening state ment of the ease. Members of the jury j:re John H Blair. Henrv Schafer, Oustav Oehm J. H. Herman, R. L. Barnes. Emil G-reiser, C. O. Minger, Fred Crome, Jo seph Bruna. P. J- Richaner, John Moser and R. L. Weeks.

ONE THAT IS FAV.OIIED Lets Out Husband or Wife and Raises Limit on Others. Party Lines Are Being Closely Drawn on Measure. The tax committee bill amending the present inheritance tax law occupied the house the greater part of the day and party lines, were pretty closely drawn in the votes on amendments of fered to this bill. The Democrats seek to repeal ihe inheritance tax law en tirely, while the Republicans are de fending the law. It is true, that some few of the dominant party members are against the bill and that some Demo crats favor it, but in the main the votes are drawn on party lines. itie btone amenament to the com mittee bill was passed this morning in committee of the whole and provides tor exemption on inheritances for hus band and wife up to J50.000, for chil dren up to $20,000. and for nephew. nieces, brother or sister up to $3,000. it appears to be sate to forecast at this time that this is to be the real amendment to the present inheritance tax law that will be made by the legis lature. Matson, Don Carlos, Davis of Kiowa and other Republican leaders who are defending the bill, agree with Stone on this amendment, to the law. Carney., of Cloud county, who has been presiding in committee of the whole while the tax measures are un der consideration, is another Democrat on the house roll who has class and force as a legislator. Keene of Bour bon, a Republican and chairman of the committee on assessment and taxation, has developed during the discussion of the tax laws this week. His speeches are unadorned by oratorical frills, but they have logic to commend them. The Goddard bill providing that the Soldiers' home vote shall be cast at the home precincts of the inmates is regarded he says as a meritorious measure In Leavenworth where the home is located. In support of his measure Dr. Goddard cites the fol lowing from the Leavenworth Post: Dr. Goddard's bill in the legisla ture to regulate the old soldier vote In Leavenworth county, meets with the approval of the people of Leaven worth, Petitions are being circulated and signed in the city and county ask ing the legislature to pass the bill. "The people of Leavenworth city and county know how the Soldiers' Home vote Is manipulated by the poli ticians, and they want to put a stop to this. The last election at the home was a disgrace and it was only a repe tition of the elections held before. The passage of the Goddard bill would protect the old veterans and also the taxpayers of Leavenworth county and it should pass." Attorney General John S. Dawson appeared before the railroad commit tee of the house this morning to con fer with the members and advise them in regard to the two-cent passenger fare bill now before the committee. The attorney general believed the bill ought to be amended if it is passed at all. He declared that if this bill is passed It ought to carry with it an appro priation of $100,000 to be used to fight the case through the courts and pro cure information for the state to show that the railroads do not haul pas sengers on the 2-cent basis at a loss. It will be remembered that the Kan sas railroad board made an agreement with the railroads some years ago that Kansas shall enjoy the 2-cent fare for such time as the cases involving this law are before the courts in the neigh boring state of Nebraska. The plan has worked well thus far and Kansas has had the two-cent fare up to this time without a lawsuit. The agreement has been in the na ture of an armistice, but the passage of a two-cent fare law would likely end the agreement and the state would have to fight to maintain the rate. The last legislature defeated the two-cent fare bill, preferring to let well enough alone. N. K. Herman of Chetopa, Labette county, called on the governor today. Mr. Herman has just returned from El Paso, Texas, which is just across the line from the Mexican town of Juarez (pronounced Warez) and he Is of the opinion that the insurrectos will capture the place and In the end unseat the Diaz dynasty. He declares that it is the general opinion down along the border that the cause of the rebels is good and that they will win in the long run. The house this morning granted the use of the hall of representatives next Thursday night for the Quindaro Glee club and a concert will be given the members by this organiaztion from 7 o'oclock to 8 o'clock. The Quindaro singers make fine music and the con cert will be well "worth while. The house passed the white slave bill by Brown of Kingman. This bill provides a penitentiary sentence for any person who shall entice young women into a house ot m tame and keep them there in a state of concu binage. The resolution by Davis of Kiowa providing for a four year term for state officers has been made a special order in the house tor tonight at 7:30. Thia resolution, if passed, will be a constitutional amendment. The committee on roads and high ways in the nouse nas Deen preparing. and yesterday introduced one of the principal road measures in this session. For weeks they have been sortine out, culling, rejecting and accepting the fragments of road legislation that have remained upon the statute books from the wreck and conflicts of legislative wars from the general statutes of 1868 to seven chapters of the session laws of 1909. The result of the committee's work was a code of road laws which are logically arranged and presented and an admirable advance in the direction of good roads. Representative John Gray, chairman of the committee, speaking of the bill, said: "We do not claim to have a perfect road law; but we have the best that can be secured at this time, and we are confident that our finished labor will prove a nucleus about which Kansas will build, in the near future, an excellent system of public high-; ways, w hich will render travel expedi ent, comfortable and convenient. The United States mail route carriers who have been with us are enthusiastic over the provisions of the law and congratulate us upon our work. "The strong features of our law. are the classification of the roads, the re tention of the highway commissioners and the making of the township trus tee the road overseer of the mail routes and township roads, the giving of the control of state and county roads to the county engineer; the drag law and its operation, the payment of road taxes in cash and the removal of obstructions and noxious weeds from the highway. We have classified the roads into state, county, mail routes and township roads. State, county, and mail route roads must b- kept in first class condition. -The cate and county roads in the same condition, while the township roads must be kept in 'as good a condition as the funds will allow." The township highway commissioners, made up of the town ship board of which the township trustee is the road overseer, looks after the mail routes and the town ship roads. With these roads the county engineer has nothing to do ex cept to prepare plans and estimates, when required, by the commissioners. The board of county commissioners with the county engineer as their road overseer have control over state and county roads. The county pays all the expenses of keeping up these two classes of roads, while the township pays all the expenses of building and keeping up the mail routes and other roads within the township. "The county engineer may be the county surveyor or, under certain con ditions, the board of county commis sioners may name some other person as such engineer. The county roads are such as are designated, by the board of county commissioners, with the proviso that the board may name roads connecting cities and market centers. The state roads are such as are laid out and defined by the state of Kansas. The mail route roads are, of course, the free rural delivery mall routes, while township roads are all roads within the township other than the mail routes. This combination of county roads and mail routes provides a valuable and well nigh perfect sys tem of roads. We have made no at tempt to Interfere with the state en gineer In any way. By the use of the drag system, taxes paid in cash and intelligent supervision, we have aimed to build up good roads with the town ship and the county at a. double unit or standard. I believe we have suc ceeded in securing economical and in telligent administration of the road laws and what is the highest consider ation good roads." PURIFY POLITICS. Root's Plan In IJeu of Direct Scna- torial Elections. Washington. Feb. 10. Opposing all suggestion looking to a change in the manner of electing United States Sen ator Mr. Root of New York today ad dressed the senate on the resolution providing for election by direct vote of the people. He said he would not have senators elected by direct vote nor, if they were to be so-elected, would he have con trol of such election transferred from congress to the various state legisla tures. For congress to abandon juris diction over senatorial elections would be equivalent he said, to the govern ment's surrendering Its power to maintain Itself. Mr. Root found in the main propo sition that of changing the method of electing senators an effort to shift re sponsibility in the matter of govern ment. Declaring that the principal reason given for the change to be the corruption of state legislatures he said that a more fundamental change should be made than Is proposed. He would go to the root of the trouble by so purifying politics as to obtain better material In the legislatures. If the people would look properly to the selection of legislative candidates he was sure there would be comparatively little complaint concerning the elec tion of senators by legislative action and he was sure in that event the agi tation for direct election would grad ually disappear. MEETS WITH FAVOR. Reciprocity Agreement Will Be Re ported Tomorrow. Washington, Feb. 10. The house committee on ways and means today postponed action on the Canadian reciprocity agreement until tomorrow morning when the committee prob ably will vote to report favorably to the house the measure embodying the agreement. Today's session of the committee was devoted largely to an explanation by Mr. Mann of Illinois of the effect of the wood pulp and print paper pro vision of the agreement. Mr. Mann during the last session of congress headed a special committee that in vestigated the paper conditions. IT IS ROOSEVELT DAY. Big Time Is Planned at Grand Rapids for Saturday.

Fifteen Are Missing as Result ol an Explosion. FIVE BODIES EOUm Nine Known Dead and Six Unac counted For. No Harrowing Scenes Around Pit Mouth as Is Usual. Trinidad, Col.. Feb. 10. To the list of nine known dead and six missing in the Cokedaie mine at the time of the explosion last night, this morning were added the names of E. A. Sutton, as sistant superintendent of the mine and Robert Meek, a Colorado Fuel and Iron volunteer rescuer who lost their lives while trying to reach the missing men. Sutton overestimated the amount ot oxygen in his helmet and fell a vic tim to the black damp. He was drag ged to within the air circuit by rescu ers who themselves almost succumbed where his helmet was removed. He was alive when carried out tut died while efforts were being made to resuscitate him with a pulmotor. Meek fell un-' conscious, after volunteering ahead of the air circuit and died a few minutes after being carried out. Five bodies were located this morn ing and will be brought out soon. Be fore the six missing can be reached It will be necessary to put up mora brattices and enlarge the air circuit." A number of the rescuers have been overcome by the black damp. The mine is being slowly cleared of the afterdamp but it may be several hours before all of the bodies can be taken out. Ftell Off High Trestle. Dr. T. J. Forham, of P--is, was ser iously injured, near the mouth of the mine early today when he fell off a, high trestle in the darkness. Hia shoulder was dislocated and it Is fear ed he sustained internal injuries. Franklin Guiterman. president and general manager of the Carbon Coal and Coke company, has assumed per sonal charge. Superintendent F. P. Bay liss had been in the mine almost con tinuously since reaching the scene soon after the explosion last night. Good order is maintained about the mouth of the mine ana m the camp avoiding the harrowing scene so frequently en acted about mines following disaster. Coroner Lake and a force of deputies are in charge of the bodies of the re--covered victims which have been placed in' the blacksmith shop. The force of the- explosion, which was distinctly felt at Trinidad, seems to have been greatest In the main slope. Timbers were blown 200 feet from the mouth of the slope, but the explosion seems to have been attended by no serious falls of rock. The explosion wrecked the fan house, but the fan was uninjured and is still working, although the air haa been "short circuited" by the blow ing out of battrices and doors. Other Rescuers to Scene. Trained rescue men are being rushed to Cokedaie from all over the district. The government mine rescue car in' charge of J. C. Roberts has been sum moned and the rescue car of the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company is on the way to the wrecked mine. There are five exits from the Coke dale mine and none but the main slope was injured. It is hoped that some of the men In the mine may make their way from one of these exits. The two shoz firers who 7ere rescued were working near the surface in No. 5 en try and while both were overcome wiUa gas. they were able to go to their homes without assistance. There were no nar--.'"--.'- scenc around the pit mouth, such as have been common at other coat mine disas ters. The miners on the surface are quiet and the majority are engaged in carrying supplies to the rescue party. The cause of the explosion is un known, but It seems most improbable' that it could have been an explosion of dust. Precautions against the accum ulation of dust were most strictly en forced at Cokedale. The mints was fur nished with water pipes throughout and a force of men was employed con stantly in sprinkling and removing dust. The Cokedaie mine has been opera ted for four years and the camp was known as the model coal camp of America. The property is owned by the American Smelting Refining com pany and supplies the Guggenheim smelters. It is said that more money has been expended in equipping the mine with safety appliances and mod ern methods than at any coal mine in America. LOGAN STILL HOPES. Ottawa Man Says That Real Murderer Will Be Found. Ottawa, Kan., Feb. 10. Henry C. Lo gan, the Ottawa man who was sent to the penitentiary for SO years from Rice county in December for the murder of Will Miller in a tc"' --ir Great Bend last July.

S. F. FOR FIFTY MILLIONS. Room for This Many Lower Cost of Liring. Other Items of General Inter est in Traffic World. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 10. That the American people themselves and not the railroads are responsible for the present high cost of living, is the opin ion voiced yesterday by Charles L. Seagravesr, general colonization-' agent of the Santa Fe. who was here from Chicago. Mr. Sagiaves is the official to whom the Santa Fe has intrusted the project of populating its vast west ern territory. "The railroads and railroad rates haven't anything to do with the high cost of living," Mr. Seagraves said. "It is all due to the tendency of the Amer ican "people cityward. As people flock to the city tie dependence increases and with fewer people raising the ne cessities of life the prices naturally soar. "The cost of living is an economic problem, and the only practical solution is the "back to the farm' idea. There isn't any great need for the people to pack the cities. West of the Mississippi river there is room for 50,000,000 people. iWithin a radius of 150 miles of Kan pas City 5,000,000 could make a com fortable living. And to fill up this vast area is the proposition on which all the great trunk lines of the west are working. West 3Vo linger Arid. "It used to be that the west was in the arid section, and rightly named it was in that time. But modern science Is making the west blossom out as the country's garden spot. Dry farming and irrigation have reclaimed greatest stretches of fertile land in the once Oreat American desert. New Mexico, the Panhandle, Pecos valley and Quit coast of Texas, and Arizona, where once only cactus and sagebrush grew, now in small farms are furnishing the means of livelihood for thousands of jjeople. who once thought that only the east and middle west were adapted to farming. Or one doesn't need to go that far. Western Kansas and Okla homa ore yet only in their infancy and have room for thousands of people. "The proposition of populating the west is one on which the railroads have been working for years. With the iirst homeseekers' excursions into the hither to arid regions, came the speculators, who took up the most valuable suctions of that time. Then, when the interests of farmers in other sections was arous ed, they found they were compelled to pay tribute to speculators. Specula tors didn't help us any, and in fact were not the class of pe- we want ed in the new sections. Fanners Are Wanted. "Finally farmers in other states be came prosperous and had money to in vest. They didn't think much of the west, but were curious and wanted to see the country. Many of them, find ing thev could double .v acreage, sold out and came west. These were the real pioneers, the kind of citizens we wanted. Since then the homeseek ers' movement has been usually heavy. Last year in round numbers the Santa Fe hauled west over 150,000 prospective homeseekers, nearly one third of which have moved into the Golden West. They are satisfied, and know that the agricultural and horti cultural possibilities of the west are greater than any other section. We would rather have one satisfied settler than a hundred speculators. Those who are living in the west and southwest now are proving magnets for others from the east and the middle west. "One factor that will help the west fri its "development"" is the Panama ex position in San Francisco, which was the only practical location for such an enterprise. That will bring more peo ple west than any -other one feature. It will bring more of the middle classes, and in that way they will see the coun try and dispel the 'desert idea' gained from the perusal of the school geo graphies of a decade or two ago." KIj PASO GATEWAY IS CLOSED. Tickets.; and .Waybills Are Marked "Subject to Delay." For some time little traffic freight or passenger to Texas will go via the El Paso gateway. Owing to the un settled conditions across the border, the railroads running to that section have issued orders to mark all tickets and waybills "subject to delay." No guarantee -of passage across the border through El Paso is guaranteed by the National Railways of Mexico, owned by the Mexican government. However, this will have little effect on Mexican traffic. The gateways of Eagle Pass1 and Laredo are still open, and will continue to be unless the in surrection reaches those sections. California traffic via El Paso, how ever, is not disturbed, as it is not nec essary to cross the border. HOMESEEKEU TRAVEL HEAVY. Lines in Topeka Report an Vnusual Big Volume.

Officials Say Work Will Be Completed In Three Years. Denver, Col., Feb. 10. "We expect to have the double tracking of the entire main line of the Unicn Pacific finished with three years,"' said A. L. Mohler, vice president of that company. Mr. Mohler's ttatenient means that the plans for double tracking the main 'ines of the Harriman roads, at a cost of $75,000,000, which were announced last week by President Robert S. Lovett, are to be rushed as far as the Union Pacifc is concerned. It will give work to thousands of Colorado labor ers. "The main line from Omaha to Og den, a distance of 1,000 miles, will be double tracked," continued Mr. Mohler. "Part of this work has already been done. When it is finished, and the improvements on the Southern Pacific are completed, it will, mean a double tracked route all the way across the American continent. The Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific portion of this route w-ill be from Omaha to Sa.n Francisco. The Chicago Northwest ern, which i-onneds with the Union Pacific at Omaha, has double tracks to Chicago- and ff run that pBBteat 4fce lines are already of that class of construction." RAILWAY NOTES. M. A. Low, general attorney of the Rock Island, is known as "The Silent Man talks less perhaps than any ether man in ihe state that is, any man who really nas tne giit oi speecn. The other day John R. Mulvane, the Topeka tanker, had some business with Mr. Low. He louna wws voice in a very husky condition. "What's th matter of your voice?" asked Mulvane. "I guess I talked too muen last night,'1 replied Low. Kansas City Journal. Union Pacific passenger officials re ceived word that the stretch of track on the San Pedro, Los Angeles Salt Lake line which was washed out be yond Acoma, Nev.. last Friday had beer, repaired and train service re established. The Union Pacific through service to Los Angeles is over this line. Thos. Mitchell and a force of Santa Fe carpenters are completing a hand some frame depot for Burns. The survey for the proposed Arizona Port Lobos railroad is finished and the contract for construction of tha line will soon be let. It is stated that the route selected for the road from Sasco, Ariz., to Port Lobos, on the Gulf of California, in the state of Sonora, follows a low grade grade. The directors of the Railway Spe cialty Co., Atchison. Kan., at a recent meeting, increased the capital stock of the company from $50,000 to $1,100,000. The comrany is now erecting new and larger buildings at Atchison, and will greatly Increase its force of workmen for the manufacture of power cars used by railway track men, gas an'l gasoline engines. The Kansas. Oklahoma Panama corupany, which was organized last year to build from Liberal, Kan., to a point in Oklahoma, has amended its charter. The company has a capital of $1,000,000 and office at Oklahoma- City, Okla. The plans call for building from Beaver. Okla.. southeast to Fred erick, near the Red river, thence into Texas, with a branch from Elk City, in Beckham county, Okla., east to Oklahoma City, in all, about 325 miles The estimated cost of construction is J30.000 a mile.

Ave .IbpeKa Ki ns. Ottawa, Kan., Feb. 10. There will be more suits to set aside and otherwise get hold of property to pay the judg ment of $10,000 recently awarded Miss Ethel McKee against Prof. Grant H. Crain. This information leaked out to day and came from Miss McKee's at torneys. Already a suit has been begun to nullify the transfer of the old home place to Mrs. Fannie Crain, Prof. Crain's mother, and the Finney county land, said to be a tract of 320 acres, probably will be the -next on in litiga tion.

St. Joseph Schedule Meeting Called for Sunday Next. M'Gill of Denver Scouting on the Way. The baseball players of the Topeka club will soon be sent their reporting dates. Manager Moore said today he intended to have his pitchers and catchers in Topeka on March 15. The fielders will be called in for March 20. five days later. If the present weather can be taken as anything of an indication, these dates will be none too early for bene ficial practice and Moore is anxious to look over hia material. Pitchers Fugate, Ovitz, Beecher, Mo Grath, Leak, Buchanan. Upton and perhaps Alderman are expected to be ready to report. Butch Kerns, Starna gte and Morris are the three catchers banked on by the managements to do the backstoppine. No new deals have been closed h the club in several weeks but several are pending by which it is hoped to add one or two infielders and one out fielder. Both Moore and v President Wood ward will go to St. Joseph to attend the schedule meeting of the Western League Sunday, February 12. Probably some deals will be pulled off there when the club owners get together. Then when the big league meeting is held in Chicago' the following Wednesday, there are expected to be some fine chances to get the gurplussage of ma terial. Besides the adoption of a schedule for the Western League, the St. Joseph meetinsr will be called upon to name the official league. Whether the Victor ball will be retained is not fnucft discussed.

Zbyszko Wins Decision From Hacken sclimidt In Handicap. New York, F(b. 10. In 90 minutes of wrestling. George Hackenschmidt, the Russian, failed to throw Stanislaus Zbyszko, the Pole, at Madison Square Garden last night ,and the match went to the Pole. Hackenschmidt had undertaken to throw Zbyszko twice within an hour and a half. Hackenschmidt was the aggressor ini the early part of the bout and the fas ter, cleaner workman of the two; but Zbyszko's great weight began to tell with every additional minute and at the finish he seemed the stronger of the two. The weights were given on the pro gram as Hackenschmidt 210 and Zbyszko 2.70. In spite of his huge bulk, Hackenschmidt twice heaved the Pole over his Shoulder and slammed him to the mat with all his force. The shock shook the Pole heavily but did not lessen his strength. For the most part Zbyszko chose a chancery hold and Hackenschmidt it. At other times the Pole tried Frank I Gotch's favorite toe hold, but Hacken- t schmidt with his tremendous strength, repeatedly broke it by driving his leg back like a piston. Whenever Hackenschmidt got a half Nelson. Zbyszko broke it by flipping a back sommersault. For perhaps half the period they were on the mat. Toward the close of the bout, Zbyszko, who had been of the defen sive, took the aggressive and contin ued to show stronger to the end. His work was rough and som times drew the disapproval of the crowd. He but ted with his head and punched with his elbow. No purse was announced, and there Abbott Hailed as a Mighty Trainer for the Brush Beasts. Lyons, Kan., Feb. 10. Spencer Ar thur Abbott, yclept by the fans "Old Ab," often first base for the Topeka "Cooleysox" team during past seasons, and soma times scouting manager of the Wellington.

He returned to Topeka. the same day. In obtaining Abbott as a manager, the Lyons management shows good beadwork "Ab is a ball player of the first water, and if he has a team which will mind him, he will win games with it. Abbott is a manager who makes his men keep training and "has it in" good and hard for the pastimers who loaf on the job or spend their nights trying to down "Old Johm Barleycorn." Last year he took the Dukelings when they were going to- rack and ruin and won so many games in succession that the directors called a special meeting. Later, he returned to Topeka. After his departure the team lost quite a bit of ginger. Abbott dies hard and will not give up until the last man is cut. He plays his position well and is a -ood hitter, although no phenom in the swat line. Abbott has a wide ac quaintance among ball players and should bs able to select some classy recruits to make up his 1911 bunch. In the meantime President Anawalt has not been idle. The following play ers are already under contract and will report for spring practice: Tom Clark, of Pueblo, outfielder, i-ie is a fast man and played with Raton, N. M., last year. Donahue, an infielder from Kansas City, who is highly recommended. Weeks, another infielder from Kan sas City, with fine recommendations. Geo. Carpenter, second baseman, from Kansas City.

The negroes furnished -the fastest battle seen here between heavy weights in years and the knockout came as the sensational close of a round in which Cotton apparently had Harris at his mercy. Harris had the better of the earlieT rounds a in the third put Cotton down for the count of nine with a right swing to the jaw. When Cotton clam bored to his feet he was groggy, but the bell saved him. He came back strong in the next round a-nd just be fore the knockout had Harris weak and covering up. In the last minute of the seventh, Cotton forced Harris hard, but out of a defensive crouch, suddenly Harris let fly a right swing. The blow caught Cottcn fairly over the heart and he crumpled up like a leaf. FLYING DUTCHMAN AS A JUROR. Honns AVagner May Not Get to Spring Practice. Pittsburg. Pa., Feb. M- John P.

An attempt by Depew to call-up the Porto-.Rican bill in the senate Thursday afternoon was de feated by Senator Bristow, who intimated that the amendments incorporated in the senate committee would have to be ex plained. The bill as passed by the house contained a provision limiting th amount ot land that could be acquired by cor porations interested in sugar production to five thousand acres. This was incor porated by Madison of Kansas, but when the bill was reported to the senat by Depew it was stricken out. Depew had rnade a motion to consider the bill over Bristow s objection, when senator smoot hurried to the JSew York senator's side for a whispered conference. When it was over Depew had changed his mind and withdrew hiis motion. Senator Bristow's way of blockinar bills that contain provisions he does not like is becoming very annoying to senators interested in pushing these measures. Wednesday Bristow held up Senator Hev- burn's bill to codify the federal laws and had struck out of it two amendments of fered by Senator Piles increasing the of United States judges. Mr. Bristow said he had been assured the bill con tained no new legislation and insisted that the amendments go out. mm tl li..)lla 1 206 East Fourth Si. 3 Stores jfjA Suffer Suffer Thaf s "What Thousands and Thou sands Are Doing' Daily "When Pyr amid pile Cure Would Give Instant Belief and a Permanent Cure.

A woman and little boy, as much Interested as the men. were in the crowd that watched the operations at the Melan bridge extension this morninsr. It is said that women often stand on the west side of the abutment pit and watch the work along with interested men. The sheeting has been laid for the north arch of the bridge. Over 3,000 feet of shiplap was used for this pur pose. The form work for the arch contains over 5,000 8x8 timbers. The arch when completed will be 75 feet wide and 35 feet of roadway. The next steD will be to erect the side walls and put in the steel re-in- forcing. Then the cement win De poured. About 250 cubic yards of cement will be used in the arch proper. The same amount will be used in the soufS abutment arch which is the same di mension as the north arch. And m the south abutment foundation pit 500 cubic yards of cement will be used for foundation. All but thirty of the piling lor this foundation have been driven. It is hoped that this work will be finished within a week, but at present the workmen are meeting with what is called "hard driving." Meanwhile, at almost any hour or the working day throngs of people line the west side of the work and watch proceedings.

The State Journal !s tt member f the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph5 report of that' great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication' lh Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. j A bird in the hand will be more ex pensive than., a thousand -intha.-bush, it Professor Dyche'a proposed game tawi is -plaeed -en-the- statute- books.

The pres ent anti-trust law appears to work out pretty well when an -earnest effort 'a made to enforce it. I Seattle is going to have a commis sion form of government, Inasmuch, though, as there are going to be nine men on the commission, it won't be rhuch of an improvement over the old qommon council plan. i Now that dentists have been provid ed for the U.

If they are of the same variety that usually make their ap pearance at this time of the year or a little later, the straw fart of them predominates in their flavor. r J. Pierpont Morgan has finally reached Naples.- The fact that he was going there had been known, so long It is likely the Neapolitans had all Iheir valuables safely under lock and isey many days before he got in their midst. 1 Even necessary things as well as the pood ones come slow. After consid ering the matter off and on for ten rears, the house of representatives has iassed a bill providing that the gov trnment shall furnish homes abroad for the members of its diplomatic corps. So many and differing pictures of Iady Decies, the erstwhile Vivien Gould, have been printed that nobody, with the possible exception, of the members of her family and Intimate friends, has much of an idea what she looks like, Little has-been heard of Reno, Nev., since. the Johnson-Jeffries fight was held there. But the calcium rays are tnrned on it again because Colonel Roosevelt intends to make a speech there on April 3. April 1 would have been a more appropriate date. A eon of a'Holland nobleman com mitted suicide in Chicago the other day because he was broke financially. That's worse than no reason at all in this wonderful land where there are so many heiresses who are more anx ious to exchange large hunks of gold for anything that savors of a title. Reports from various localities in the state are. to the effect that the Kansas peach crop for 1S11 has been killed already. But the chances are i would not have amounted to much anyway. Large peach crops seldom follow each other in successive years, and the crop last year Was of unusual volume. It now appears that President Taft has had a big stick carefully laid away for se whenever there was real oc casion for wielding it. He has let con gress know that if action is not taken Within the next three weeks on the Canadian reciprocity bill he will call a special session of the new congress tp consider this important proposition.

I rne remedy is to be found in provid ing horses with shoes that have serv lceable calks on them. A recent communication from the National Model License league of Louisville, Ky., says: "Public senti ment has turned against prohibition and the people are now demanding proper regulative laws as a means of solving the liquor problem. If the officials- of the National Model License league would make a trip to Kansas and make just a casual investigation they would find .that the public senti-. tnent in this prosperous and progres siva state is stronger in favor of pro- j J" vides the only means for tha best so lution of the liquor problem. WHEN THE WOMEN- VOTE. Seattle's people have been much, wrought" up for several months past over the alleged misconduct in office of Hiram C. Gill, who had been mayor of that city only since.last March.; He wa charged, as was the chief of police whom he had appointed, with having farmed out the vice privileges of the city to a syndicate, and had collected a large percentage of the receipts of the syndicate. Such general belief waj given to these charges that, sufficient voters or me city petitioned for an election o recall Gill from the mayor alty. The women of Washington have but recently been given the right universal' franchise. As many as 22,000 of them registered to participate in the recall election. That election was held the other day, and resulted in Mr. Gill being recalled from office by a major ity of about 4,000. It is said that a. large percentage Of the women who registered went, to the polls and voted. It is generally admitted that the wo men's vote was almost solidly against Gill, and that the'.wpmen were there fore responsible for bis recall. And isn't it a fine thing that the women of Seattle took advantage of iheir opportunities and voted this way? Where fhere Is much smoke there al ways is suro ,to be "considerable fira. The charges agairlst Gilt; would prob ably .i not have developed and been pres'sed 'as seriously as Jthey were if there had not been something to sub stantiate them. That made- Gill a de cidedly unfit man to be mayor of Seat tle or any other city. A man against whom there is even a suspicion that he Is willing to prostitute -the, chief execu-i tiveshlp of a eity by so much, as toler ating, lot alone reaping a profit from; a traffic in vice, is not entitled to hold .sucji an office a minute.-' -The women of Seattla realized this and they voted against Gill almost as a unit. The wo men of every other locality would real ize the same thing and act in the same way if they had a chance. In matters of this kind, women, with the right to vote, will always be found on the right side. Oh" questions that" affect tho moral welfare of a community, there is no doubt where the women, the mothers who re zealous lest their young daughters and young sons be ensnared in the pitfalls tlat abound wherever vice is permitted to flourish there is not the shadow of a doubt where they stand. And it is too bad that the women of every community in the country have not the power to as sert their stand in such, essentially im portant matters. It is1 to the credit of the present Kan sas legislature that It has finally rec ognized the Justice of woman's right to vote.- And if the f conference commit tee, that will have to determine at the close of the session which of the'propo sitions to amend the constitution are the more important, brushes 4- aside the woman's suffrage amendment, the first of the proposed constitutional amendments to pass the legislature, a serious injustice will be done to the women and to the commonwealth. The latter needs their votes to keep the ship of state well trimmed and on a clean and even keel. This woman's suffrage amendment ought to take I -!cedence over any other proposed amendments to the constitution which the legislature may act on favorably, because it has been up for considera tion for 'a much longer time. -v. RETAIL COST OF MEATS. During the past six weeks or two months there have been several an nouncements of reductions in the wholesale prices of all kinds of meat. Except as to pork and its by-products there has been no appreciably propor tionate reduction in the retail prices of meats. Naturally the people have wondered. What may be considered as something in the nature' of an ex pert opinion in the premises is an editorial which appeared in a recent issue of the Chicago Daily Farmers' and Drovers' Journal, which ,has a reputation of being one of the' great' farm dailies of the world. That edi torial follows: "When we see, written all over the live stock trade, bad wholesale mar ket reports, it matters not what the live stock costs the packer or eastern shipper, he seldom wants much of it for the reason that a lot of cheap priced meat hung up in the chillroom soon runs up in cost when the carry I ing charges are figured. There must be a iree movement of meats through wholesale channels andl into the retail markets bef6re the packers and eastern shippers will buy freely. Naturally, the effect-upon live stock markets is bearish when there is a poor retail demand for meats, and the- situation works just the opposite when the consumers' call is sufficiently brisk to afford active clearance of chillroom supplies., "The margin of packers' profit -is not materially greater when live stock is cheap than when it is high in cost. Live stock prices usually regulate meat prices and occasionally have a strong bearing on the retail cost, al though this occurs only spasmodically. When the consumers demand a lower if I i" IvT cost of meats it is slow in coming; and t 1J cs,aauua a oujuw-ut. aicaic vj. aikmi 9 i the retail markets, and the butcher is compelled to cut prices in order to move his product.- "The butcher, like the packer, has Ms fixed charges of operation, and, once getting a high price for his meats, he ,is always reluctant to. trim down the cost to the consumer.. With.. the packer. however, it is a different proposition. The packer, despite his heavy working capital, demands free use of it, and- must -cut wholesale prices freely when the situation de mands a cut in order that the meats be worked freeiy into wholesale chan nels, and that he get his first cost,, to gether with a fair profit eut of them. "This is the situation affecting the meat trade now. Wholesale prices are marked down to a relative basis with first cost of live stock, but the butcher, still applying; his old prices,- is retard ing the movement of meats into the ultimate channels. A mild winter has had a depressing effect on meats de mand, largely" because of the fact that Retail prices have not come down in proportion to declines for the stuff at wholesale,, and .were the butcher to make proportionate reductions in prices there would be freer general trading, both in live stock and in me&ts over the counter.' Margin of profit distributed among meat handlers would be fairly liberal, too. The feeder is the only one liable to miss a profit, since his first cost was too high, and the conditions affecting his mar ket for the finished product fail to show, a. relative situation.". JOURNAL ENTRIES The smaller the amount of taxes a man has to pay the more he fusses about the size of the, tax rate4 i; m,

Theoretically speaking, 'everybody believes that the majority should rule, but in practice the minority always tries to tell it how. V. r r There's no doubt about cut glas be ing wonderfully popular these days. Many of -the "diamonds" now worn give evidence of this. r v-J 'i No matter how homely a baby hap pens, to be, either of its parents feels highly -complimented to-be told that it is a perfect image of him or her, as the caSe may be.

If it were not for the old maids and the old bachelors, and the advice they are- so free, with, their' married rela tives would find it difficult to rear their children in the proper way. JAYHAWKER JOTS The Osborne Farmer has an idea that "reform will die out as soon as it ceases to be such splendid bait for votes." The Hill City Republican has discov ered that some people are too stingy to pay even a compliment when it's due. The Chanute Tribune is hunting for the old-fashioned mother who used to wash -the small boy's mouth with eoap when he said bad words. The announcement that the report of the engagement of another of the Gould family is a mistake, is good news for the Missouri Pacific stockholders, says the Hutchinson Gazette. "So there is still something to live for," remarked the ever-optimlsti-: Frankfort Index the other day when it heard the milliners' announcement that the "hobble hat" is coming. It is a mighty poor stick of a parent, says the Lawrence World, who does not enjoy a comfortable feeling when his young hopeful brings home a blue penciled paper marked "100, Good." by the teacher. Says the Stafford Republican: It doesn't pay to be always watching for the fellow whom you fear will hand you a double cross, and it's a blame poor policy to be everlastingly turn ing the other cheek, too I don't know how it is -in your church, says Deacon Walker In his OS borne Farmer, but in ours we are badly handicapped by the brethren who insist on paying two-thirds of their subscriptions in prayer. Kansas is boasting eat deal now of being the Real Thing in the civiliza tion line, says the Chanute Tribune, but with 50,000 more dogs than sheep to her credit on her fiftieth birthday there still seems room for improvement. Evidently Dr. Cook has conceived the idea of locating in Kansas and becom ing a member of the legislature, thinks the Coffeyville Herald. At least he seems to be doing the preliminary work as a sort of a test of his qualifications. He called Peary a liar.

FROM 07 HER PENS CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS. A New York leeturer in a recent ad dress undertook to demonstrate that some of the practices of immgrants in this country,- whic are troublesome- to the authorities, -nave their origin in the best intentions and may be easily corrected when the requirements" of the American environment are made clear to the arrivals. To illustrate his point he told an in teresting story. A certain immigrant mother of numerous offspring was sev eral times haled to court and fined for hurling her ashes into the city street on which she lived. With philosophic submission to arbitrary governmental tyranny she paid her fines and went her way. Finally a charitable person explained to her, in her own tongue, why she should not throw her ashes into the street. It then appeared that in the little Polish village whence she came she and her neighbors had been requested by a local authority to throw their ashes Into the road by way of impromptu street building. xnen he relates a contrasting anec dote as follows: I once heard one of the founders of the City club say that when he came of age he asked his excellent father to give him some idea of what might be his duties as a full fledged citizen of this great city. His father replied: "My son, as a gentleman and the son of a gentleman, all you need know of municipal procedure is that in order to have your ashes properly cared for you must bribe the asnman.

But just the same, it seems too bad that sweethearts should selfishly de sire to add to the work and worry of the postal employee. Washington Herald. TO PLEASE THE MEN. It is a fact that the impelling mo tive, of fashions of women's gowns, hats and other outer appurtenances is dictated by a purpose to arouse the admiration of men Such theory has been promulgated from time beyond the reckoning of statisticians. But how does it work when the latest dictum of fashion from Paris is announced According to that dictum, the fash ionable woman of the immediate fu ture will be "dressed like a Turk, a Spaniard, a Japanese, a grand dame of the first empire and a convict." Here is the combination: "Hat, Turr-kish- turban r jacket, Spanish bolero, but with Japanese kimono sleeves; skirt, high waisted emoire with 'loud, perpendicular convict stripes.' It is to be taken for granted, of course, that the women will continue their accus tomed practice of pleasing the men, somehow. But, how much will such a -combination aid in producing re sults?

Przhevalsky Horses. s Within the next few weeks there will arrive in this country from St. Peters burg the first Przhevalsky horses ever imported. The horses are natives of the Gobi Desert, south of Mongolia, in Asia, where they -were d-""vered in 1888 by Nikolai Przhevalsky, the Rus sian explorer, whose name was given to them. Major Gordon W. LHIie, who is importing two mares and a stallion, hopes to be able to cross them with the. mustangs on. his ranch at Pawnee, Okla. After Przhevalsky's discovery of the wild horses, which are believed to have been the last race, of horses living in a wild state with an unbroken wild an cestry; his story was-; doubted, for a lime,' but when the- brothers Grjimailo of Russia corroborated hint by return ing to Russia with -much Information regarding their habits, etc an expedi tion, to the desert- was undertaken in 1904 by the Russian government. This returned the next year with 40 of the animals, all that remained of 48 young5 ones, which had been captured alive. Except a few that were present ed to the Duke of Bedford, president of the- Zoological Society of London, and which are now on his estate In Bedfordshire, all of these still, are in Russia. Several died -as, a result of their trip: after reaching St., Peters burg; i. -t r When the wild horses were-shown in England they aroused much skeptic ism. English scientists were incurred to oelieve them to be V results of cross breeding' of asses and escaped Mongolian-ponies, ,f not-the offspring of the ponies themselves, with character istics altered by their life in the desert. No attempt was made by the English to classify the -new beasts. Major Lillie, who has succeeded in purchas ing the first of the Russian herd that has been told, now writes of them: "It has been proved beyond doubt by the Russians that the horse Is truly a wild horse, a species separate and dis tinct from the Mongolian pony and from the ass. This. I am told, has been established by hte study of the skele tons of, those which have died, com paring them with the bones of other kinds of animals. "In some ways the little horses, thy are only about 12 hands high when full grown, resemble the ass common in Asia and in China in particular, but by many characteristics, as, for instance, the tail, they can be seen at once to be true horses." Dealing with the habits of the anrai mais, a recent writer says that the Grjimailo brothers reported that the horses lived in open, level districts, keeping quiet by day. but seeking wa tering.places and the pasture lands by night, returning to the desert at day break. They said the animals traveled single file, and, ajs their habitat was very restricted, the region is criss trosRed withttrPks,,4ike buffalo trackf i on the western -plains. -'V i s -i i These characteristics of the animals and the similarity of the ranch lands of Oklahoma to the Desert of Gobi led Major Lillie,, who has-more than l.bOO acres of fenced land; to believe that they would thrive dn- Oklahoma.

Shivering, the stranger looked at the fire, but we formed such a solid line about it that he could not get near it. Finally one of the lawyers, in a spirit of frivolity, turned to him and said: 'My friend, are you a traveler?' 'I am, sir. I have been all over the world.' 'You don't say!

"I don't 'know' that I'd object to climb to the second gallery," replied the woman calmly. "I'm Annie Peck." And Mrs. Reynolds, remembering Miss Peck's mountain climbing rec ord, gave her the ticket. New York World- THE EVENING STORY Prince and Beggar Maid. (By Agnes G. Brogan.) The little governess had the child in her arms as they rocked to and fro in the firelight. "Dear," coaxed the child, "just one bedtime story, please, of a prince, a princess and a golden castle." The governess sighed and gazed musingly into the fire. "The story I would tell tonight," she said, "is of a prince and a beggar maid." "Was the beggar maid very beauti ful?" asked the child; A tender smile hovered above the girl's lips. "The prince has told me so," she said. "Then go on," urged the child, and nestled closer. "Once upon a time, in a- far coun try place, .this little beggar maid tied on her cloak, waved a last good-bye to the empty home and started out in the world to make her fortune. She had not gone very far when in the pathway there arose a high moun tain; she had traveled up the moun tain side before, but the father had been with her then, to carry her over the rough places and to point out the flowers which grew here and there, so she had not known how steep and wearisome was the way.. But now that the father had gone upon his long, long Journey, she knew that she must make the climb, alone, and she started very bravely. Just as evening bells were ring ing she reached the top, tired and hungry, for oh, so many things, and then she saw that she was- stand ing almost at the- gateway of a wonderful golden palace. Here lived the 'grandmother queen of the golden purse,' the mother who was like a beautiful butterfly, and, dearest of all the princess, Golden Hair. "Grandmother queen looked kindly upon the beggar maid as they met: 'Come, she said, 'you shall live with us and care for our princess Golden Hair.' "Now, the beautiful mother was loved by so many people that she was here, there ancLeverywhere, and the princess was a very lonely little girl until the beggar maid .came. Then all was changed; they had needed each other so much, these two, that now they were very happy together.. Grandmother queen was pleased, and the beggar maid thought that she would live on and on in the golden castle forever and then, one day, the prince came home. "The beggar maid was walking alone in the garden when they met by the old sun dial and it seemed that their hearts went flying out to each other, like little imprisoned birds that had been released. And as the days passed they spent many happy hours together, standing long beside the tinkling fountains, or riding, perhaps, in a fairy boat upon an en chanted river, and the prince had forgotten that he must marry a golden princess, and the beggar maid had forgotten that she was a beggar maid, until grandmother queen sent for her and told her all about it. "Oh, the queen was angry, Indeed, and she said to the maid: 'You must go very far away where our prince can never see you again, then he will wed a rich and wonder ful princess, who will help him to be all that we have planned. "But she would not go." the child cried sharply; "she could not go If she loved him. The governess smiled sadly. "It was because she loved him so very much more than herself that she agreed to go," she replied, "but her heart ached at the thought of parting from the Princess Golden Hair, and she could, not bear to say. good-bye, so she decided to wait until all was very still at night,' and the princess asleep in her little white bed,, then the beggar maid would go into tne room very softly and leave a kiss so light that Golden Hair would never know. Then she would steal down the stairway slowly, slowly, tie on her little old cloak and go out into the world once more alone." "Dear," asked the child, "why are you crying?" I believe." said the governess, witn an odd little catch in" her voice, "I be lieve that I am crying for the poor little beggar maid." ..-,-"Oh, Uncle Will,' called the child, suddenly as a man emerged from the shadows, "we thought you had gone to the charity ball." The man came ana stood behind tne chair, looking down into the face of the governess. "May I finish the story?" he asked. His voice was low and tender. The girl looked up with wide, startled eyes then she nodded dumbly. "Well," the man continued, "this poor sort of a prince knew nothing of a foolish golden queen's cnatter. so he wandered about the gardens or moped in the castle, looking always in- vain for a certain maid who hid herself in nurseries and out of the way corners, until sne almost drove the poor fellow distracted. He could not work, you see, or play, or do anything else in the world but think of this -one girl who alone could be his princess. And one, night the en chantment wmen naa Deen cast over him became so very great that It led him straight to her side just in time, I think. He intended to wait as pa tiently as he could until Golden Hair had been aeked into her little bed, then when his true princess came slowly down the stairs he would clasp her close never to let ner go again, and they would travel away together." "Where would they go?" the child asked drowsily. The governess laid her race against the child's as she carried her from the room, and the joy in her voice melted into a dream. "They will journey on and on," she said, "through sunshine and shadow, always together to the very end of the world." (Copyrighted 1911 by Associated Literary Press.) No Gamble for Miller. "Why, judge, my client would mur der a man who tried to gamble in his place," was the indignant defense for Harry Miller, poolroom keeper and cigar dealer, in the South side munici pal court. Miller's place was raided by the police, and 60 arrests were made. To Judge Halstead Miller ad mitted that poker was played daily and nightly at his place, but indig nantly denied that his customers gambled. "It's thic way," he explained. "The first player at the table to lose his chips has to buy trade checks from me at 5 cents apiece and pay a check to each person in the game." It was agreed .to put the facts in writing and submit them to Judge Latshaw of the criminal court. "If he says it Isn't gambling, I'll dismiss all these 60 cases," Judge Hal stead said. "If he says it is gambling, I'll fine each one of you." Kansas City Star. YOUNG LADY'S BIRTHDAY.

Kansas City, Feb. 10. Pleading at the bar where for twenty-one years he was iudee. John F. Philips, former United States judge, sitting on the bench in Topeka and Wichita many times, reopened the controversy dc tween the Jones Brothers' Dry Goods company and the Kentucky Realty coraoany. It was a spirited argument before Judge Smith McPherson, wno is sitting in the stead of Judge Van Valkenburgh, and Frank Hagerman, representing the Jones Brothers, found a foeman worthy of his steel in the former federal judge. The controversy concerns the heat ing plant and lavatories now being used by the Jones Brothers' Dry Goods companv. At one time the dry goods men held a leasehold interest in the rroperty at the northwest corner of Thirteenth and Walnut streets. An excavation was made and covered with a roof. In this basement were built the lavatories and the heating plant for the big store. When the company went into the hands of receivers one of the first things done was to dispose of the leasehold interest in the corner lot to the Kentucky Realty company. A four-story building was erected on the nlace. but the heating plant ana lava tories are in the basement of the new hnildinsr and are still being used by the Jones Brothers' Dry Goods com pany. GIRL GETS PRIZE FOR COKN. Twelve Year Old Frances Wilson Raises 40 Bushels to Acre. Wellsville. Kan., Feb. 10. When Frances Wilson, the 12-year-old daughter of J. D. Wilson, planted an acre of corn last spring she expected to be able to enter the contest con ducted by the Tri-City Farmers' insti tute, and. possibly, to win one of the prizes offered at the annual meeting in Edgerton. Later she learned that prizes had been offered only for the boys and was a very disappointed little girl when she found that her corn would not have a chance to win even favorable mention. The farmers of Wellsville. Gardner and Edgerton have been holding this institute for more tnan twenty years. and were among the first in the state to adopt the plan of offering prizes to the corn growers. But never before had they thought of offering a prize for girls who raise corn. At the insti tute last Saturday some one told of Miss Frances's pluck in planting and tending the corn and the members voted unanimously to give her the. same prize that was given boys of her age and will arrange for special prizes for girls, to be awarded at next win ter's meeting. Miss Frances already is planning to plant another crop and will go at the work in a scientific man ner this years by first writing to the Agricultural college for instructions.

LADY DECIES SMOKED OS. Crowd Cheered as Former Miss Gould Lighted a Cigarette. Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 10. When Lorl Decies and his bride, formerly Vivien Gould, reached here about npon over the Atlantic Coast Line, on their way to Jekyl island to spend their honey moon, Lady Decies furnished a sensa tion by puffing a cigarette in full view of several hundred persons gathered at the depot to get a look at the bridal couple. When the train arrived Lord and Lady Decies were at lunch, in, the din ing car. The people at the depot cheered as soon as the train stopped. When Lord and Lady Decies had fin ished luncheon, the bride took a seat at u winaow in view ot the crowd, took a cigarette from a jeweled case, lighted it and smoked. The crowd cheered as Lady Decies puffed the cigarette and she seemed to enjoy the applause. In a few minutes the couple left the car Atalanta and went ta the wharf, a distance of one hundred yards, between two lines of spectators. Lord Decies lifted his hat and Lady Decies smiled and bowed. As they stepped on the gangplank Lord Decies again lifted his hat and Lady Decies bowed. Instead of going into the waiting room they, took a seat in full view of the crowd. As th boat left the wharf they both waved goodby to the on lookers. Lord and Lady Decies go to Jekyl island at the invitation of Edwin siould, an uncle of the bride, whoss cottage has been prepared for tltem. and one of his yachts will be at their disposal.

HrsitoCall Halt on Anti Rait-,-: road Legislation. BAR TO' THE PROGRESS. Development Hampered by Lack of Railroads.- Hostile Legislation Prevents Extension of Lines. The published statement of Governor Colquitt of Texas that there is too. much anti-railroad legislation has at tracted attention over the middle west, especially, among railroad men.; In Kansas the' legislature has under consideration more than 70 bills for the. regulation of railroads. "Governor Co!- quitt, says a- railroad man, "is ths'; first executive to sound a warning that the continued agitation for more j law to regulate the common carriers may Interfere with the development of the resources of the comparatively new i sections of the country." Governor Colquitt was promoted to j his present position from the Texas railway commission, where ho served many years. As a commissioner ne was active in the enforcement of the laws, and the railroads regarded him as a radical. "Half of the great area of Texas is without transportation facilities, and little railroad building is in progress,' said J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe.Railvay company, yesterday, "but. wherever a new line is constructed, land value goes up from practically nothing to the prices which prevail in. developed territory generally through out the west. This has been demon strated fully in the Plainview and Coleman districts lately openc- up by the Santa Fe. The condition stated id cited by Governor Colquitt, and he ex presses himself as convinced that the railroads are ready and willing to do more building in Texas, if permitted to earn a reasonable .return on their in-, vestment. And Oklahoma, Too. "Oklahoma," Mr: Koontz continued, "is clamoring for additional transpor tation facilities to' develop the coun try, but the railway companies are hampered by adverse, legislation- to such an extent that thev canot afford to build new lines. Every i railroad operating in Oklahoma has planned ex tensions, but not a single building pro ject has been carried out for five years. "Western Kansas is similarly sit uated. With the exception of 28 miles of new road from Garden City t') Scott City, all railway extension in that part of the state has been heid up. The railroads contend that they are forced to keep close to the shore because of the constant agitation for more regulation. Every railroad official in Kansas authorized te talk says- his company is interested lilithe Ju.jrisiilding" Of Kan BM.' -T h- tnHpniiijt-.ijf one. be- -argues, means the prosperity of the oth er, and hard times for one means hard times for the other. One railroad com pany ths Santa Fe has .established a department whose' mission is to bring about a closer relationship between the corporation and the people with whom it does business. The Santa Fe, say the officials, through its new depart ment, has gone a long way toward the adjustment of differences with its pat rons without the aid of additional laws. Good for Kansas. The railroads are calling attention to the stand they take in favor of good roads, immigration, the introduction of new methods in agriculture and stock raising, and the establishment of new mercantile and manufacturing indus tries. "This is all good business for the railroads," said General Freight Agent Koontz, "but at the same time it is a good thing for Kansas. The public must see that the influence of the rail roads in this direction has enabled the state to make rapid strides along the lines indicated, and the railroads are ready and willing to keep at it. "The railroads insist that they are rot opposing regulation, but they .ask that they be not regulated unreason ably. They point out that with the federal law on one hand, and the con flicting laws of the several states on the other, they already are hampered in the performance of the duties they owe the public and their stockholders, end additional regulation, such as is contemplated by the 70 or more bills TaKe What Pill Why, a Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pill, of course.

SGOViLLE IS HERE. Will Take Charge of Auditorium Meetings Tonight. Dr. Charles Reign Scoville, with ftis wife, and the remaining members of the Scoville Evangelistic company ar rived today noon, to take up the work of the big meetings in the Auditorium. The Scoville company is composed of eight members, three having been in the city for the past week, prepar ing the way for Dr. Scoville. Rev. W. J. Minges preached to the audience his last sermon on Thursday evening and took for his text Mark 14-8. "She hath done what she could: She is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying." He spoke at length of the home of Simon .the Leper in Bethany, when the woman appeared with box of precious ointment and anointed the head of Jesus, and of the indignation of some that were present at such a waste and of the stand that Jesus took ior her-by saying. "Why treuhle ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have, the poor with ye always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good; but Me ye have not always." Rev. Minges likened the story to the people of today, say ing: "That no matter when, where or what a person, or persons do, (that it was true of every congregation on the face of the earth) kickers and faultfinders would appear. That it was a sad commentary on a preach er's life if he had received from every one that he was a good man, and had never in any way offended anyone. Such preachers are failures," said he. He impressed the audience with the thought that they should give their (lowers, say the kind words, and do their praising while a person is yet alive and" not wait until they are gone. He said that in the college days there was nothing that would make a ball player make a home run with speed or ease or run just a little faster as the cheers from the grandstand, and that there was nothing that would make a preacher preach better, noth ing that would inspire him to do bet ter as the amens from the congrega tion. In conclusion he said that his work to prepare for the great meeting was at a close, that he was not the evangelist but repeated the scripture, "He that cometh after me is greater than I." A large meeting was held today noon in the new mill of the Santa Fe shops where hundreds of men gathered to hear the sermon delivered by Mr. Minges.

Commissioner for Street and Public Improvements Candidate for Ke-Xomination for the Office of Commissioner of Topeka. In announcing mv candidacy for the renomination for city commission er, lirst, I desire to thank my friends and neighbors for their support in the past and their activity on my behalf in the coming campaign. I wish to recall the promise which i made to these friends a year ago when- I told them if elected commissioner of Topeka I would be on the Job, that I would do all in mv power to improve the streets and conditions of the city and to the extent "of the funds at the disposal of my department. This promise I have tried to fulfill. If my friends are satisfied with the efforts made and work accomplished I respectfully solicit their sup port again for the coming spring election. I wish to emphasize and renew that former promise. If given the second term as commissioner of Topeka I will be on the job and will do all in my power to make a success of the administration and for the- up building of Topeka. HAS FAITH IN AMERICA. Professor Tombo rinds Superiority of University Uutlisturued. New York, Feb. 10. Professor Ru dolph Tombo, sent by Columbia uni versity as exchange professor in Ber lin, has returned to America with his faith in American university life and its superiority undisturbed. "The German student isn't as healthy looking or as sound as the American college man," says Professor Tombo. "He has lew opportunities for exercise and little chance at healthy sports. In the matter of col lege spirit, the German is far behind the American student. Partly the fault lies with the German system of education. From his ninth to his 18th year the boy attends a -gymnasium.' The miscellaneous ages here, and the later habit of spending a semester or two at different universities spoils the chances of getting any real college spirit. "They have absolutely no use for 'co-eds' and whenever I referred to the.-higher education of women they expressed disapproval by shuffling their feet. When I mentioned that no woman could study law at Columbia, they stamped with enthusiasm.!. "German students arc much inter ested in everything American, but they consider our tuition fees extor tionate. Many would study in this country were it not for the expense. 'Your students must all be rich men,' said one of my hearers in Berlin. I told him that on the contrary, most of them were comparatively poor, but he could not understand."

Leahy came to this country from Ireland when a boy and shrewdly pur chased with his early savings exten sive plots of ground in suburban Long Island. Ten years ago he sold a part of his holdings for $350,000 and put the money into gilt-edged securities, the value of which has more than trebled since that time.

This is true because nature has provided a constituent to the circulation known as Plasma, which joins and holds the place to gether until the fibres and tissues can penuanently knit and interweave. Whenever the ulcer becomes chronic it is because this healing quality of the blood has been impaired by some impurity in the circulation, and the place remains open, infecting all sur rounding flesh, until the character of the circulation is changed. No sore can heal where the blood is bad be-, cause the morbid impurities on which it thrives are constantly deposited into it by the burdened circulation.

In an Address at the National, Corn Exposition. A CHANGE OE POLICY. Was Made Necessary by Combi- nations in Trade. Discusses, the Effect on Corn and Wheat Prices. Columbus, O., Feb. lft. Traveling in a special car. President! Taft arrived here at 1:45 this afternoon to deliver his address on the- Canadian reci procity treaty at the National Corn ex position. He was escorted through the city by troop B, Ohio national guard, and a provisional cavalry detachment made up of officers of the Second bri gade. This evening he will be the guest it a banquet given in his honor by the corn show officials and the faculty of the Ohio state university and later will attend the Lincoln ball of the Buckeye Republican club. "Reciprocity with Canada will bene fit the entire United States, farmer, i manufacturer, railroad company, mid-j die man and warehouse man." This i was the declaration made by the pre3i- dent in an address at the National Corn exposition. "All will be the gain er," he said. While the speech was devoted espe cially to showing that the farmer had nothing to fear, but much to gain, .har attempted to prove also that all the other interests of the country would be benefited by the proposed reciprocity. "We have with pioneer energy push ed on to the Pacific," the president said, "and taken up all the good land. We are now spending millions .to re claim the arid and semiarid lands of the great west desert. Should we not by taking down a useless and unneces sary tariff wall, bring within cur agri cultural resources the great plains of the northwest when they: cart bring t& us what we need and that without hurting' any of our own people." The president expressed the opinion that in addressing a corn exposition audience it would be particularly ap propriate for him to answer the criti cism which had been made of the agreement, "as an attack upon the farmer by depriving him of protec tion." "It is said to be a manufacturers' agreement," he continued, "that is in the interest of the manufacturing classes and adverse to the farmer. Protection Policy Stodlfled. "I am a Republican and the Repub lican party nas always aovocated and pursued a policy of protection to j American products and manufactures. For a long time the policy had little or j no limitation. It was thovght that tar- iffs on protected products could not be j too high, that if all foreign products I were excluded, competition would i stimulate production and reduce its cost and its price. "The'temptation to destroys compe tition by combinations became so great, however, that the party in its platform modified its policy and im posed the limitation that the tariff should be limited for purposes of pro tection to the difference between the cost of production in this country and the cost of production abroad, with an allowance for a reasonable profit to the American producer. "The principle of production thus stated takes away the justification for any tariff whatever by way of protec tion on articles imported from a coun try where the conditions as to labor and other circumstances are the same as in ours and thus makes the cost of production substantially the same. "Canada is our, neighbor on the north for three thousand miles. Her population is English, Scotch and French. Her soil is like ours. Her traditions are the same as ours. Her language is ours. Her climate is tem perate like ours, except that her grow ing seasons are shorter and she can not raise corn in any great quantities. "She has a free popular government with a wage earning class as intelli gent and as well paid as ours. It is difficult to see in what respect her farmers have any advantage over our own except a virgin soil in the far northwest." '"How is the farmer to be hurt?" he asked. Effect on Prices. He then took up the effect it would have on corn and wheat prices, on the value of farm lands in this country and on the milling industry in this country. He declared that "in respect to corn, the American farmer is king and will remain so, reciprocity or no recipro city." Taking up first the effect of the agreement on corn, he said: "The total production of corn in the United States in 1910 was 3,125,113, 000 bush&ls, of which we exported 44,072,209 bushels and used the rest in domestic consumption, chiefly in raising cattle and hogs, of which in live cattle and packing house products we 'exported In value $135,985,212. The Canadian product of corn was 18,726,000 bushels, or six-tenths of one per cent of the total production of the United States. We exported 6, 000,000 bushels to Canada. "Certainly in respect of corn the American farmer is king and will re main so, reciprocity or no recipro? city. Indeed, the change will greatly help him by increasing his supply of young and thin cattle, now very scarce for feeding with his corn and making good beef. "But it is said that the farm land In Ohio, Inidiana. Illinois, Iowa, Wiscon sin and other states is much more val uable than the land In Manitoba, Sas- Coffee ava Fine old crop Mandheling Java Coffee, blended with Ara bian Mocha, gaa toasted, full of fragrance.

Nothing could be further from the fact. The Canadian lands are far ther removed from the Minneapolis and Chicago markets than the lands of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa or Illinois, and proximity to market is a most im portant element in the value of farm land. "Then the natural change in farm ing in this country is from the raising of grain for export to the raising of &rain for farm consumption and de velopment of the secondary products in the form of cattle ana hogs. The live cattle are bought and -fattened. The hogs are raised and fed. It is farm ing of this kind that explains the high value of farm lands in Illinois and Iowa. Farm Values Compared. "If the argument as to the disastrous effect of admitting the crops of the Ca nadian northwest to cur markets upon the values of our faim land is correct, then the opening of lands "in Kansas, Nebraska and the two Dakotas in the two decacles from 1890 to 1910 should have had a similar effect upon the land of the older states. Now, what was the fact? What was the effect upon the farm lands of the older states of the competition of these neiwer states. The land in the older states became more devoted to corn and cattle and hogs, while the wheat and other cereals were left to the new Jands. The effect was that the values of the land of the older farming states were in most cases more thaa doubled. "The difference in the value of the acre between Manitoba and Minnesota is but little more than eight dollars, while the difference between Minne sota and Wisconsin is $6, between. Wisconsin anl Illinois is $52, between Wisconsin and Iowa is $40. between Michigan and Indiana is 31. These figures show incontestably that the fear of a reduction in farm land values of this country by letting in Canada s products is wholly unfounded. "The price of wheat, less transporta tion and other barges for warehouse and delivery, is fixed by what airthe wheat exporting countries, including the United States and Canada, can get for their surplus in Liverpool. Hence, the sending of any part of panada s surplus through our country Instead of through Canada to be milled orto be exported without; milling, will not Perceptibly or materially affect the Drice of wheat for our farmers. P "In other words, the advantage we give the Canadian farmer will not hurt our farmer; for the price will remain the same; but by patronizing our ele vators, our flour mills, our railroads he will secure admission to th.j world s market at a. fess cost to himself, while we will secure the advantage of In creased trade-for our elevators., our mills, our railroads and our commis sion men."

LOCAL HEISTlok The complimentary dinner to be given this evening at 6:30 o'clock by the Topeka Ad club in honor of Wil liam Galloway of Waterloo, la,, will be the biggest affair of the kind which the club has planned in some months. Senators Glenn and Brady and Repre sentatives Boyd and Turner, newspa per men of the legislature, will also be guests of the occasion. L.adies will not be excluded at this meeting. A meeting of fifty of the prominent business men of the city met this noon at the Commercial club in the inter ests of a great state -fair in Topeka. Plans fpr beautifying" the fair grounds and erecting buildings are "well under way. Many of the members of the legislature have expressed the desire to see the local grounds and the busi ness men are arranging to take them over in automobiles at their conveni ence. F. E. Whiteney, formerly v.lh the Smith Automobile company, is now connected with the firm of W. C. Stephenson Co. A meeting of the building commit tee of the First M. E. church was held this noon for the purpose of de ciding upon the plans for the new S30.000 Sunday school addition, but no action was taken. Several archi tects have drawn plans, and the work of raising the necessary funds is pro gressing in a satisfactory manner, Michael Brisstol and Frank Reese, the two jouths who entered the home of Benjamin Lawton, near Elmont, Wednesday and carried away $47 worth of clothing, jewelry and. firearms, waived their preliminary hearing in the court of Topeka this morning. They also have promised to enter pleas of guilty, to the district court tomor row. Both probably will draw re formatory sentences as they are under 23 years of age.

While the discussion was at its height, 30 members sat quietly and waited for the time to vote. Those votes went to Hutchinson. It was the hard work, the confidence and sincer ity of the Kejio county member- that won the battle. It is said that the Hutchinson -fair will find real rouble In the house. To peka and Wichita will asi. for a care ful consideration of their cause and they hope to get it. Topeka will ofler the same records that Hamilton pro duced Thursday afternoon and the dope points to a Topeka victory or no state fair. Hamflton and Stewart made a game fight, but it was Carey and not Hutchinson that won the decision. It ia said that there are tio Emerson Careys in the house and the hopes of the capital city enthusiasts are being revived.

Will Not Apply to Direct Heirs Hereafter. HOUSE 31 AK ES CHANGE tron of Butler Conducts Battle to Repeal the Law. Four Vear Assessment Bill Re ported Favorably. In committee of the whole Thurs day afternoon, the committee bill on assessment and taxation, a compromise on the four-year assessment bill was reported with little controversy. This bill is the result of one which was drawn for the purpose of extend ing the time between assessments to lour years. The committee bill makes vfcry little change in the present as sessment system, but concentrates the "several sections on this subject. It was when the committee bill on inheritance tax was called up that the storm broke. An argument of long duration was commenced. Represen tative Cron of Butler county, a Demo crat member, started the row by sub mitting a substitute of brief but de structive portent. His substitute was ,to strike out all after the enacting clause, and substittue a repeal for the existing law. Through the fight that followed Representative Cron was un usually active, and the argument on his substitute was not confined by party fences. One of the strongest pleas for the retention of the inherit ance tax was put up bv Representa tive Shearer, Democrat, of Marshall county. A number of Democrats an nounced that they were elected on a platform which called for the repeal of the inheritance tax. Feder of Barton offered an amerd-ni'.-nt exempting all dirfct heirs, and Don Carlos of Douglas offered as a substitute the exemption of "husband cr wife." Then Don Carlos substitute vs voted down, and thrn a division called for on the Feder amendment. The tellers could not risrree on the count in this standing vote, and a roll call resulted. The Feder amendment, exempting all direct heir; from inher itance tax was carried by a vote of 63 to 58, and party lines were lost in the vote. At the opening of the afternoon ses sion. Field of Reno moved to ditch a lot of taxation bills on general orders, by placing them at the foot of the calendar. His motion included 521, an act providing for registration fees; 522, In regard to assessment and taxation, and 634, another bill on the same sub ject. In the exchange of opinion that followed, the mortgage fee bill es caped and retained its place. Stone of Shawnee moved that the hour of 10 o'clock next Wednesday morning be set as a time for the con sideration of all bills involving plat form pledges of either party. The words, "either party," were included to mollify the Democrats, and the mo TOMORROW 2 DOZEN 2 Sweet Navel Oranges 25 Cents Wm.

Here are some of the bills which will be considered under general orders next Wednesday, as coming under the head of "party pledges": The Don Carlos resolution urging con gress to prohibit liquor shipments into prohibition states. The Kansas bill makin" all cases tri able first in the state courts. The Don Carlos and Cassia initiative and referendum bills. The minority recall. The Stone and minority Oregon plan bills.

A feature of the afternoon sessioi was the report of the elections commit tee upon the contest case of .Jewett versus Yates. This Lane county con test for a seat in the house was made upon the allegation that the election officials of Dighton threw out certain ballots which, if counted, would have given the Democrat, Jewett. the seat in the lower house. The argument re volved around seven alleged mutilated ballots from the Dighton precinct. The committee report was that Yates was entitled to retain his seat in the house, but a minority report was filed by thi; three Democratic members of the elec tions committee, and its adoption moved. About an hour w-as consumed in argument before a vote upon the adoption of the committee report was reached. The vote was drawn on exac: party lines, all Democrats voting against and all Republicans for. There fore Yates retains hi3 seat. SPIRITS AWAY CHILD. I "at her Departs and Wife Invokes Aid of tbe State. Ottawa, Kan., Feb. 10. Mrs. Ella Peed, wife of Nelson Peed of Po mona, has invoked the authority of the state of Kansas to recover posses sion of her little daughter Mary, aged three years. An order of district court was issued to Sheriff Latimer to get the girl and deliver her to the mother. Mary was presumably with her fathprat Pmnnnfl. Peed is a laborer. With his family he formerly lived In North Ottawa; he removed about two years ago. There are two children. Mary and a babe 14 months of age, that is with the mother. Three weeks ago the Peeds separated, the wife returning to the home of her father, Mr. Fulkerson .of Ottawa township. The little girl f e- mainea with ner rainer. Mrs. Peed has applied for a decree of divorce. She asked for and obtain ed an order restraining Peed from dis posing of the personal property, and requiring him to deliver possession of the girl Mary. At noon Under Sheriff Latimer, Deputy Sheriff Smith -Rogers and Mrs. .Peed left for Pomona to get the girl. On arrival at the Peed home the officers found Peed, but he declared the girl was not there. To Under Sheriff Latimer's demand to be told where she is Peed replied: "I'll die first.' edmieftiioe and Overcoats and Overcoats and Overcoats and Overcoats $18.50 for $23.00 19.50 for 27.50 22.50 for 30.00 21.50 for 35.O0 Nettleton's Shoes E W Shirts -Boys' Clothing and all Winter Underwear are reduced greatly for our Semi-Annual Clean up sale SLICE DYCHE BILL. The Senate Toys With Fish and Game Measure. Warden Is Compelled to See His Hobby Torn to Shreds. CUT IN THE SALARY. One Senator Thought That 1,000 Is Sufficient. Then Solons Listen Attentively to Prof. Dyche's Plea. For more than an hour Thursday night. Prof. L. L. Dyche's carefully prepared fish and game bill was in the hands of the senate sausage mill and the miracles performed on the docu ment will probably stand as a record of the year's business. Great slices of the bill were removed on the a ia. Francis Price method and the 24 page bill was rapidly reduced to few para grpphs and misleading, constructions. The fight on the bill preceded the speech of the fish and game warden and the Kansas fish scientist was given a reception that was not on the advance notices. Robertson called the senate's attention to the fact that tne bill did not carry an enacting clause. Price, who presided, said the commit tee could fix small details at a later date and passed the matter. Then there was trouble over the warden's salary.' The bill called for $3,000 a year, but Reed thought $1,000 sufficient. Travis-was for generosity in the office and wanted the amount increased to $1,500. After lengthy discussion, the salary amendments went over to the general amendment order. Anderson' and Carey complained most violently because the fish ward ens were allowed special privileges, ar.l they stripped the fringe from a long and carefully prepared section relating to fishing. Myers, chairman of the fish rnd game committee, refused to answer questions and declared that, he had not prepared the bill and Carey and Brewster, of the name committee, went on record as not having read the document. Hodges saw no reason why the bill should not be further reduced. He stood for brevity, he declared, and asked to remove an er.tire section. His suggestion was well taken and this en couraged Robertson to urge the scalp ing of another section. The senate was making great progress.' Three pages of the document had been reduced to one and the members saw economy in the printing of the 1911 ses-sions acts. Caldwell almost broke up the meet ing, when he asked if the bill was pre pared by the state university law stud ents brought ot Topeka by the gov ernor. His outbreak was followed by a half dozen suggestions of improvement in phraseology; and Price asked -that the bill be turned over to the high school grammarian for repairs. Brew ster took exception to this and recom mended that the entire bill be incor porated in the Reed resolutiori and submitted to the voters with the edu cational appropriation at the special election which the Smith Center sena tor demands. Robertson suggested a vacation and an extension of the privileges .of the floor to Prof. Dyche. Price appointed Myers and Stannard to escort the senatorial guest to the speaker's table. Dyche talked more than an hour. He told of the fish and game situa- Prescriptions A carefully put up pre scription made of good drugs insures your getting the full benefit of your doctor's ad vice. Ask your doctor. Both Phone 450. Free Delivery. Suits and Overcoats Suits and Overcoats Suits and Overcoats Suits and Overcoats venu4 tion and urged that the farmers be encouraged to build private ponds for their fish and the preservation of the great amount of water which the state lose3 each year. He urged a law al lowing the seining of larere fish, which he declared were a detriment to the streams on account of the thousands of small fish which they destroyed. The fish and game expert declared for a 15 days' open season on quail to substi tute for the present law and recom mended that the number of birds to be killed in one day by a hunter be reduced from 20 to 12. Then Dyohe talked about the skunk but he did not allude to his former statements that roast civit cat, brown gravy and baked sweet potatoes made a most excellent meal. Instead Dyche talked of the public duty to the meek eyed, humble skunk who is a law abid ing citizen and prefers to attend strict ly to its own business. He advocated legislation to protect the large, fat, striped skunk, even at the possible sac rifice of a few,.chickens and perhaps the banishment of the family Thomas cat. "A skunk may kill a chicken now and then," admitted Dyche.' "but so does the Ton- cat. It is far better though to shield the scunk and if necessary let the cat out of the accounting. A cat will kill more birds and chickens than a skunk and is not nearly as valuable an' animal to have on the premises." Dyche" -said the trouble with skunk hunting had been the tendency to kill the animal too early in the season when their furs were worth 25 cents to 50 cents, instead of waiting until later when the furs would bring $3.50 to $4. He pointed with regret to the neg lect of ambitious law makers to frame a bill to protect the song bird and said all of the eastern states were ahead of Kansas in this respect. A large crowd attended the night session and many women were in the galleries. The same township in Grant coun ty, Wisconsin, produced three mem bers of the 1911 senate and those members represent the three radical political faction which contend for recognition in the upper house. Just how the three members came from the same township, in the same county and state,- .landed in Kansas and at tained political prominence in three distinct districts at the same time, none of the tliree will explain. The three members are George H. Hodges, the minority leader and defeated Dem ocratic candidate for governor; J. H. Stavley, of the reactionary and stand pat faction of the Republican party; and Fred H. Quiney, an original advo cate of reform and advanced govern ment, who camps well within the fir ing lines of the administration. Regardless of this wide diversity of opinion, the sentiment of the Grant county memories or some inward con victions frequently bring these mem bers on an equal plane and they see things in the same political light. Thursday the three fighting factions harmonized in these men and all three voted for the initiative and referen dum. At home in Olathe, Hodges Is a mer chant and has laid away a good per cent of the profits from shingle nails and country butter. He knows every voter in his district by the first name and bears the confidence of his con stituents. Down in Osage City, Stavely is a member of the bar and a hard propo sition on the opposite side of a law suit. He deals in politics as a side is sue takes care of Osage county's in terests in the senate. i Quiney is a fat, good natured bank er in Salina and he plays politics be cause he likes it. He is one of the present landmarks in the upper house and replies to any member who ques tions the sincerity of the administra tion. When Hutchinson received the news Thursday night that the senate com mittee of the whole had gone on rec ord for that town- for the official state fair, it knew that Emerson Carey, the salt packer, street car magnate and senator, had turned the trick. The senate decision was not due to a pref erence for the Kansas salt town, but it was a kindly feeling for Carey and an appreciation of the four weeks of con sistent hard work which carried with it a reward. Topeka and Wichita threw into the fight every ardent friend it possessed in the upper house, but to no avail. Carey fought back at the remarks of Hamilton and Stewart. He met Stan nard on his own ground and downed him. The amendments which ques tioned the Hutchinson sincerity were received with a. smile. Once when Stannard's amendment called for a dollar for ollar reciprocation of state aid, the millionaire salt prsducer SURELY LOOKS GOOD. Dcscrpltive Book Published bv S. li. Itohrer Tells of lele of Pines. "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which can not fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance! That principle is CON i DEM NATION PRIOR TO INVESTI GATION." This is the preface in the pamphlet written by S. B. Rohrer about the Isle of Pines in which he leads his reader away from breezy, wheezj- states and the couchs and colds of a rigorous cli mate, down- to the island of fruits and flowers, of sunshine and health and wealth for all who seek them. Mr. Rohrer has compiled an interest ing description of the island of the tourists' delight and the settlers' par adise. He has reproduced plenty of photographs of views and these along with his. explanation of the conveni ences and commercial possibilities of the island, creates a genuine desire on the part of the., reader to see this gar lien spot in the Carribean Sea. The book is printed in three colors.' The covers show two of the most beautiful views on the island, one, a level solid public road as it winds through a mag nificent grove of Royal Palms, the oth er shows something of the topography of the isle with its forests of pine trees. Other cuts show citrus orchards, pine apple fields and beautiful drives and views. No wonder the Topeka people are leaving every week for the Isle of Pines to spend the remainder of the winer. "And they are going from all parts of the United States," explained Mr. Rohrer as he made preparations for the excursion to the island which leaves Topeka tomorrow. Mr. Rohrer will leave Tuesday and join the party in southern Florida. NOW HE'S AM AFRICAN. Wm. Harvey Brown Is Still Kond of Topeka, However. "Topeka has made a marvelous change since I used to come uj from K. U. to oratorical contests, more than twenty years age," said William Harvey Brown, who stopped in To peka a few hours Thursday on his way to England, and eventually to Salis bury, Rhodesia, South Africa, where he has become a naturalized citizen. Mr. Brown in 1889, not a great while after graduation at the state univer sity, became one of the pioneers to help place the British flag in what was then the frontier of South Africa. He is now one member of the law making body of the country. We used to come up here to To peka," he continued, "and. paint the town red until we became too noisy, when the police would interfere. In passing through the country, my im pression is that Kansas- has a general air of prosperity that the other states do not possess. I was greatly im pressed by the beauty of Denver, but I must say that'Topeka compares favor ably with any city tf its size I have seen in this country. I would not be surprised if Rho desia will become the next great coun try which will be affected by the on rush t)f civilization, but. the great handicap will be the largs negro popu lation, which will tend to keep the working class of people the backbone of any country away from the prov ince. "The gold mines promise to rival those of the Transvaal and then there are vast deposits of coal, iron and cop per ore. When America, can no longer supply Europe beef, the millions of acres of South African veld will fur nish grazing for cattle which will sup ply the European demand. Last year thousands of bushels of corn were shipped from Rhodesia to London, and the tobacco industry bids fair to be come a great factor in the develop ment of the country. "Then the Victoria Falls, the great est falls in the world, will in the fu ture furnish a vast amount of power for running the machinery at the mines. The railroads of the country are being extended rapidly. The so- called Cape to Cairo railroad has now reached 'The Star of the Congo copper mine in the southern part of the Congo country." WOlliDjrT WEAK A DRESS Sl'IT. So Buffalo Jones Didn't Attend Big New York Dinner. New Tork. Feb. 10. C. J. .T-i- '"Buf falo" Jones) of Topeka was to have been one of the honored guests at .the annual Minnehaha dinner of the Camp Fire club of America in New York city at the Hotel Astor, Monday evening. He was given a special invitation by the chairman of the dinner and came as a special favor of Governor and Mrs. Dix of New Tork. "Buffalo" Jones was to have sat at the toastmaster's table with many men of national fame. There was the governor of the state, Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot. August Belmont, Will Carieton. A. Ra,dclyfCe Dugmore, Sir Bache Cunard. A. Barton Hepburn, Bmerion McWillin, J. Allen Loring and Dr. C. C. Curtis, but still Jones didn't go. He refused to wear a dress suit. Nearly- 700 guests attended the din ner comprising all of the best society in New York city. Col. C. J. Jones is lecturing in the east and when first given an invita tion to the Camp Fire club dinner he could not arrange to come because of the dress euit. When the club was in formed of this they sent back the fol lowing telegram: "Col. C. J. Jones: Camp Fire club Burely-expecting you to dinner at the Hotel Astor Monday- night. Don't fail us.
