AN OPERHOUFFE Leahy Investigation Reaches Comic Opera Stage. Eeopened by Senate Today at His Request. SAYS HE WAS AFRAID. Prompted by Fear That Record Would Be False. Senators Are Interrogated by Govtrnor's Secretary. Allen White Declines to Testify. m. Another Installment of the Leahy drama is being given to the public to day and the senate will probably de vote the entire afternoon to a further investigation of the charges of the governor's private secretary. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, Leahy was still deploring the political conditions of the legislative halls as being unsanitary and subject to grave suspicion. Leahy sent to Richard J. Hopkins, president of the senate, a statement that the Tuesday records were being doctored and asked that a further hearing be held and an opportunity Eiven him to examine witnesses. No sooner had the Leahy letter been read than Stavely, of Osage, moved that the governor's-secretary be given a hearing at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Brewster substituted a motion to give Leahy an immediate opportunity to testify and the sergeant-at-arms made a hurried trip to the office of the chief executive to notify Leahy that his evi dence could be produced. Leahy's letter to the senate is as follows: February 16, 1911. Hon. Richard Hopkins, President of the Senate. My Dear Sir: I have absolute know ledge that false evidence is about to go into the record of the hearing taken under senate resolution No. 40 which record was provided for under a reso lution offered by Senator Stavely. I desire to be heard on this matter, either by way of a written statement, under oath, or by oral evidence sub mitted personally before your body, in order that the full facts may be made plain to the senate and the public. I have also heard it stated that I had opportunity to examine and, if j3cessary. to impeach interested wit nesses in the hearing, but I trust that you will remember that when I suggested I should have some witnesses to prove the statement in my interview and should have the right to cross-examine witnesses upon the stand. I was de nied that right. I now ask the honorable senate, through you, for the privilege of exam ining and cross-examining witnesses in support of the assertions I made be fore the bar of the senate in my di rect and closing evidence so that the record provided for under the Stavely resolution may be -urged of false evi dence and the full facts brought out. I prefer that the scope of this testi mony be extended to my interview in full, but if the senate should object to that I will be satisfied if it is confined to the paragraph of my interview in cluded in the Stewart resolution and upon which I was cited to the bar of the senate for contempt. I will promise in this connection, the interest of expedition of state business, to be very brief in the questions 1 shall propose to the witnesses. I hope and trust the senate will see in my request a duty we all. as citi zens, and officers of the state, owe to the people of Kansas and to the prin ciples of truth. Very sincerely, DAVID D. LEAHY, Secretary to the Governor. Leahy Again Appears. At 10:25 Leahy appeared on the floor of the senate with a typewritten paper and a clipping from the Wich ita Eagle in his hand. For two hours, the newspaper cor respondent struggled along with an al leged investigation. The only visible results was the steady fall of bricks upon the heads of the administration and a drubbing for the Wichita man that will burden the records with per sonal expressions. Leahy's first misstep was to back up on his feature charge that the records were fixed. He declared that Moore had testified falsely Tuesday afternoon, but though the statements went to the printer in the proper form. The gover nor's bosom official then introduced a few senators as witnesses, but their statements only put new tacks in the rubber tines of the Stubbs machine. Then a few witnesses were subDOe- naed by the alleged "crooked, corrupt and grafting" standpat senators. Will iam Allen White, editor of the Empor ia Gazette, an official reform publica tion, was subpoenaed. It was White who wrote the pork barrel editorials and his testimony is wanted to complete the new comedy drama. Although White was in the state house, he forthwith notified the senate that it could take its investigation and go to Europe, but as for him to appear as a witness hardly. Senator Carey declared that Stubbs io tte role of a reformer had received the persistent support of the Hutchin ion corporations and that the one do- litical mistake of his life had been to support the red haired Quaker in the 1910 campaign. J. T. Reed, senator from Smith coun ty, produced an anonymous letter, charged Leahy, Stubbs and the entire crowd with political Juggling and nna- deulterated cussedness. These were Leahy's witnesses. While the secretary was preparing a question, Keed filled In the intervals and fed the lobby with camipaign fodder. The testimony of Senator Stewart was of little value to the Stubbs forceo Immediately Reed of Smith county movea inai suopoenas ov issued for J N. Doney, DanK commissioner; Cliff Matson, representative from Sedgwick county; W. T. Watson, representative from Allen county and an assistant bank examiner; Joe Mercer, live stock commissioner, ana William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette. Leahy then stepped forward and moved that Emerson Carey, senator from Reno county, be called to the witness stand. Carey took the stand and Senator Price asked another read ing of the Leahy letter. After the clerk read the letter several times, Senator Stavely asked why his name was used as trying to fix the record of the hearing. Stavely was sore. He declared that Leahy himself should take the stand and tell about the charge against him. Then Leahy ex onerated the newspaper correspondent. Brewster precipitated trouble and declared that when Leahy said false charges were made that he himself should explain about the charges. Leahy then said that he would retract about corruption in the senate and Brewster asked if Leahy would stand, on his chare that an effort was being made to inject false evidence into the record. Leahy said he would certain ly stand on the charge. Price said if Leahy was to qualify the charge that he reduce it to writing. Leahy said he would prove his contention and that the senator from Clark need not become overheated. Then Stewart asked ouestions about the method of procedure and President Hopkins had a rough time preserving order. Stew art declared that Leahy should take the stand and make his case. "Do you want me to confine my self to this record," asked Leahy, "or do you want me on the stand half a day to prevent my making ray case?" Stewart said the one charge was all that was necessary. Leahy took the stand and Carey was temporarily excused. Stavely took ex ception to the oath administered by Hopkins and said he should be more explicit. Then Leahy said they could not make the oath too strong for him. In the ten minutes of squabble over procedure, the floor and galleries had been filled and rapidly the news was passed that the governor's secretary was again on the stand, and the door kepers were kept busy. Wanted to Be Questioned. Leahy wanted some one to ask ques tions. Brewster accommodated him. He asked for a copy of the Leahy let ter and waded into the newspaper scribe. Before the examination started Brewster read a letter from White in which he declared that the senate had no right to subpoena witnesses. A subpoena was then issued for the Em poria newspaper man. "What do you mean by your state ment that false records are being made?" asked Brewster. "Just what I said," declared Leahy. "What is your proof?" "Observation and the credibility of Dr. Moore as a witness, who sworn falsely," declared the governor's sec retary. "Then what you want is to challenge the integrity of Moore as a witness?" "No, Moore can take care of him self." "Then do you want to bring a wit ness to contradict Moore?" "Yes, I had no right to bring such I witnesses, as I understood it at" the time." Leahy then said that Dr. L T. Moore, editor of the Pittsburg Headlight, testified falsely when he said that Leahy and not Moore mentioned the substitution of Casey's name for that of Representative Cassin of Crawford county, who introduced the Pittsburg waterworks bill. The "witness said' he had no chance to explain matters on the stand and that- the motions of Price and Reed to adjourn, drove him off the stand. "Then you do not state, asked Stavely of Osage county, "that no at tempt is being made to put something into the record that was not produced on the stand?" 'Not at all," explained the mild Wichita man. Leahy then said that his letter was not intended to mean that false rec ords were being made of the evidence in the Tuesday hearing when Leahy declared that J. T. Moore of Pittsburg approached him in regard to fixing a Pittsburg waterworks bill pending in the house. When asked if standpat senators who voted against the in itiative and referendum were political crooks, Leah-tr refused to answer the question until Hopkins interpreted th3 word "crook." The bars were then let down and Leahy was given the privilege of mak ing any possible charges against mem bers of the legislature. Leahy balked and preferred to be asked question?. He then asked the privilege of a fish ing expedition and to put members on the stand in order that he might in vestigate the charges that existed in his mind. Reed charged that Leahy was grand standing and urged that Leahy keep a close tab on the testimony so that the wires of his mind not become crossed. Carey on Stand. Senator Emmerson Carey was called to the witness stand and the examina tion was conducted by Leahy, who ad justed his glasses, stood close to the press table and fired questions to tne winess. Asked about a conversation with E. B. Jewett. of Wichita. Carey said he talked with Jewett about the state fair Droposition and that he, Carey, urged Jewett to give up the fair plan and go after the proposed new asylum. Asuea about political scruples, Carey said he was opposed to the I. and R. and recall. Asked by Reed regarding political poli cies, Carey declared he would not be brow-beaten into voting against his con scientious scruples. He said his people were opposed to the measures. Carey then declared that Governor Stubbs had called him to his office and urged him to reconsider his position on the reform measures. Carey said he was mem ber of the party council, did not attend and that everyone he had talked to in his district, were opposed to the radical nroDositions. The governor's secretary was pulling for political positions and stayed away from graft and corruption charges. Reed asked Leahy if he was sent to the senate by the governor to bulldoze th mnmhers into votinir for the initia tive and referendum. Leahy said 'he was not. Stewart moved that Leahy be not referred to by the members as a gentleman but as the governor's private secretarj Leahy retaliated that the state house was not accustomed to gentlemen from Wichita. Hot shots were being taken at Leahy from every source, but his nimble Irish wit stood him in good stead and he urged upon Carey that he was not a good Repub lican. Carey sent back remarks to the effect that the rantings of the chief ex. ecutive were Populistic vagaries. Asked by Reed if there was a common rumor about the legislature that Stubbs and Leahy were offering political jobs, to men who would vote for the reform measures. Carey said he had heard such rumors. He further declared that in his district it was believed Leahy changed his political complexion in or der to land his Job in the state house. Asked by Reed if he had heard a ru mor that Leahy had promised Cliff Mat son a job on the bench in Wichita if CContinued on Page Eight. IT'S GOINGSLOWLY Redemption of Platform Pledges Dragging in House. Twenty-Two Still on Calendar Under Special Orders. ALLEN BILL PASSES. After Three Hours DebateLabor Measure Adopted. Members Enjoy Vacation and Applaud Qnindaro Singers. "Platform pledge day" has been con tinued to today. The house spent all of Wednesday on the pledges, killing one, passing two and did not finish discussion of the fourth, the initiative and referendum. The Wednesday night session was devoted to the third read ing of bills and further discussion of the I. and R. postponed to today. There is more opposition in the hou.3? to the I. and R. than to any other ad ministration measure. There are Z2 platform pledge bills still on the calen dar under special order for today. The labor union bill by Allen of Wyandotte, defining the liability of employers of labor in case of injury or death to their employees, was passed bv the house Wednesday afternoon after three hours of debate. The measure is regarded as a platform pledge to labor. It was opposed by some of the country members who had no labor unions to fear, but the mem bers from the larger towns fought for the bill like troopers. The bill is of great interest to all workingmen. It defines and fixes liability as follows: 'That every corporation and person and association owning or operating any mine or factory, workshop, pack ing house, or engaged in the erection or repair of buildings or bridges shall be liable to damages to any person suf fering injury while such person is em ployed by or working for such per sons or corporations, Or in case of death of such employee resulting in whole or in part from the negligence of the employer or its officers, agents or servants or other employees, or by reason of any defect or insufficiency in the wavs. works, machinery or otne: equipment of said employer, such cause of action may he maintainea in in manner by this law provided." ThMi the hill eoes on to proviae clear and exact means by which such an action can be begun and carried through successfully in the courts, pro vided the cause is just. Anlrln from the spectacular speecn Ir. favnr of the bill bv Mr. Allen, its author, the -thee (ssatures were the uttanra hv Hver of JoWiBOn ana Veatch of "Washington. However, there was but little opposition in tne nnai vote on the measure. wvoi- who has a little factory em ploying 63 men, declared that the bill would put him out of business and he declared that the measure was nothing more nor less than a scheme on the part of "a few two-by-four lawyers and the casualty companies who were looking for business and the profits that accrue therefrom. Orr of Atchison sprung a supreme court decision on the house to show that a law exempting factories where less than fifteen men were employed was unconstitutional, according to the decision of the supreme court. Stone of Shawnee took issue with tne at torney from Atchison and cited other cases to show that this decision did not arDlv generally. Two different mo tions were made to strike out the en acting clause of this bill, and they had manv suDDorters, out tney were Doin withdrawn without a vote being taken on the matter. Miller of Ford county, the youngest member of the house, was in the chair during the discussion of these bills, and he did exceedingly well in this place. The house started next on the much talked about initiative and- referen aanliit!nTi YiavTer two to consider at the same time one by Cassin, Dem ocrat, and the other by Don Carlos, Republican tne last nameo Demg me administration measure. Cassin took i nnr.w r,rat mnvlnff that bis bill be substituted for the administration measure, and ne maae a long speecn to support his contention, in which he declared that Governor Stubbs and winiam Alien White, authors of the administration measure, "were Just born to the I. and R. laitn. wniie j. am a veteran in that cause." He said v. c.iViHa .l'ti a AlocteH Hv Democratic votes, and he said further that his party was not divided on tne i. ana .te as was the Republican party, and more entitled to consideration by the house. After Cassin had finished his old enCAoVi fitrtrm ef fihawnpp moved that Frederick King of New York, an authority on tne i. ana xv., ue asiteu to address the house on the resolu tion, but the motion was defeated 55 to 54. The house did not want to hear Mr. King, but preferred to settle the matter among themselves. The house took a recess at 4:30 to hear the Quindaro Glee club and chor al singers. The initiative and refer endum resolution was under discussion at the time, but the tired, hard work ing members turned with a sigh of relief from the splitting of legal hairs to hear the melody of the old plan tation songs sung by trained voices. For nearly two hours these young ne groes sang for the legislators, the pro gram ranging from campmeeting songs to the selections from the great operas. It is doubtful if there has been a mu sical program given in Topeka this winter that was enjoyed so much by the audience generally as that given by the singers from the Western uni versity. The negro as a rule has a rich and melodious voice, but these singers had been trained for years by Prof. R. G. Jackson, the musical director of the college, and he has turned out the fin ished product. The chorus sang plantation melodies, plaintive airs, gospel hymns and national airs. There was a solo by Miss Grant, a slender young girl, who has a wonderful voice. Old Black Joe was sung by re quest, and Jamen Sanders, whose home is at Oswego, carried the air in a deep baritone. The tenors in the octette took un the second bent on the chorus and it sounded like an echo from across the Suwanee river. The hour's program of song was stretched to two hours by the demands of the large audience that packed the aisles and galleries of the house of repre sentatives. The senators came over as guests of the house, and the state of ficers and their families were present. Before the musical program was given President H. T. Kealine of th Quindaro school, delivered an address on the benefits of education to all classes of people.. Kansans present who had heard the eloquent Vernon, former president of the college, and therefore spoiled for anything but the highest class of oratory from a Quin daro president, were agreeably sur prised, py tne interesting and force ful speech of the new president. Pres ident Kealing had a hard task follow ing the most eloquent negro in the country today. Lacking the silver tongue and the rhetoric of Vernon he made up in his logic and learning. He was given close attention by his large audience during the entire address of some 30 minutes in length. The lecture and the musical pro gram were proof conclusive that the money spent by the state on Quindaro is well spent. No visitor at represen tative hall Wednesday afternoon, but will favor the Quindaro appropriation. ANOTHER GOOD RAIN. Heavy in Topeka, but Light in West ern Section.

Average Market Weight Has Declined in Recent Years. Washington, Feb. 16. Statistics to the department of agriculture indicate that hogs are getting thinner every year and that the razor back yet may be the porcine mode. The figures show that hogs market ed between 30 and 40 years ago aver aged one-fourth heavier than those marketed in recent years. In the de cade 1870-79, the average weight of hogs killed during the winter months in western packing centers was about 275 pounds; in the decade 1880-89 about 257 pounds in the decade 1890 99 about 239 pounds and in the past decade 1900-09 about 219 pounds. No theories are advanced by the de partment of agriculture as to the cause of this decrease in the weight of porkers. BANDIT IS FOILED. Attempt to Roh a New York Hotel Is FTustratea. New York.

EULA WILSON HERE Child That Once Yisited Heaven" in Christ's Hospital. Under Assumed Name She -Is Recovering From Illness. LOVE LETTERS FOUND Among Others Wichita Married Men Have Written. Girl W as Held at Beloit Schtol for Three Years. Wichita, Kan., Feb. 16. Eula Wilson, under the name of Katrina Anderson and an address of 712 North Waco ave nue, Wichita, is in a Topeka hospi tal. She is the girl who four years ago told Wichita eople she was trans ported to heaven and then returned to earth. Since that time she has spent three years in the state school for girls at Beloit, Kan., from which she was re leased upon intercession of friends. Now she is at the Christ's hospital, Topeka, where she is recovering from an ill ness. She has stirred Topekans with ojinpamy ior ner as "the wronged child of a cruel and indifferent par ent.' She told the hosnital authorities and people interested in her that her moth er died seven years ago leaving her at the age. of 11 years to fight the battles of life alone and that she was unnoticed by her wealthy and hard hearted father. Her father she declar ed, lives at 712 Waco avenue in this city. The residence of her parents, who are both living, is at 1712 North Waco avenue. They are not million aires but they are said to have been very kind to Eula when she was at norne. Planned to Take Action. Topeka authorities the Wilson girl the best of care, were preparing to place her in a private family and were planning to take some action against her supposedly hard hearted father. The authorities wrote to the Sedgwick Home in Wichita for miormation concerning the girl's fath er. The letter described the girl's con dition and told how she pleaded for protection. The Sedgwick Home auth orities became susipicious of the case on discovering that no Anderson lived on North Waco avenue and that no Anderson with the initials "W. E." lives in Wichita. They notified the Topeka authorities ahd M. W. Woods went to Topeka to call on the girl and if possible identify her. The girl's baggage was examined. Her trunk contained, among other things,' love ..letters from .two Wichita married men and 'a Fort Scott man. The names are withheld. A Bible "was round bearing on the fly-leaf the name Eula Wilson. First Denied Acquaintance. Mr. Woods went to see the girl at tho hospital. Eula when a child was in Mr. Wood's Sunday school class. He called her by name as he entered the room where she lay ill. She looked up with an innocent expression and calm ly informed him that she knew him not. Three times she denied any knowledge of him, each time with no flush or change of expression. Not un til after a cross-examination did she confess her identity. Mr. Wood says the girl is exceedingly clever at de ceiving. Her efforts at hysteria were perfect and deceived all. but a few of the nurses. .One of the nurses told Mr. Woods of a plan they used to prove Eula's de ception. When the girl was in one of her worst spells of imitation hysteria a number of the nurses gathered around the bed and one of them stropped a razor as she whispered to the others: "I fear she is going to die. The on'y thing that will save her is to shave her head." The nurse told Mr. Woods that the girl instantly got over her fit of hys teria. The future of the Wilson girl has not been determined. PAWNED HER JEWELS. Dorothy Arnold Left Property Worth $500 W ith Boston "Uncle." Boston, Feb., 16. Dorothy Arnold, the New York girl who has been miss ing since December 12, pawned her watch, rings, neck chain and bracelet, valued at more than $500, while she s on her week's visit to Boston in September. Miss Arnold took the arti cles to a Boston street pawn shop and received one-tenth their value, giving her full name and address. The articles were pledged on Sep tember 23 and the Arnold family were notified of the fact as soon as the an nouncement was made that the girl was missing. About the middle of December it was said Miss Arnold's brother. John W. Arnold, came to Boston, identified the articles as his sister's and ordered the storekeeper to refuse to redeem them when the checks were presented and to notify the police instead, holding any person who should present the checks. The articles are still in the pawn shop. WANTS TO GET BUSY. Congressman Bennett Offers Resolu tion Looking to Annexing Canada. Washington, Feb. 16. Representative Bennett of New York, one of the Re publicans who voted against Canadian reciprocity, today introduced in the house a resolution requesting the pres ident to enter into negotiations with the British government looking to the annexation of Canada by the United States. The resolution was referred to the committee on foreign affairs. Failure of the Canadian reciprocity agreement to pass tne senate will force President Taft to call an extra session of congress if the administration is determined to press the agreement. This declaration was made today by Senator Smoot -of Utah, following a conference with the. president. Senators Lodge and Root were present also. Senator Smoot announced that tha senate would be given all opportunity to discuss the reciprocity measure and that the McCall bill would not be smothered in committee nor delayed in any way. The senator entertained the belief that in the senate the bill would meet obstructive tactics that would pprevent a vote before the close of con gress, March 4. Senator Burrows, ranking member of the finance committee, said he would call a meeting of the committee either tomorrow or Saturday to con sider the bill. SWAP SHARP WORDS. Lively Row in Committee on Terri- tories Over Alaska. Washington, Feb. 16. Representa tive Lloyd of Missouri and Repre sentative Southwick of New York ex changed sharp words and Delegate Wickersham from Alaska and John N. Steele, attorney for the Guggenheim Morgan Alaska interests questioned each other's veracity, when the house committee on territories reopened the hearing on the bill to exempt the Copper River Northwestern railway from the payment of the Alaska rail road license tax. The control of the railroad by Guggenheim-and Morgan interests had been admitted by Mr. Steele. He Insisted, however, that the road was designed to be a common carrier and not simply an outlet for the Guggenheim-Morgan bonanza mines. "I think this committee ought to vote to postpone the bill," said Repre sentative Lloyd. "It is difficult to show the house that the Morgan or Guggenheim interests need any re lief." "It is a disgrace for any member of congress to urge such an argu ment," interjected Representative Southwick. "The gentleman from New York has never shown any interest in the session of the committee except on the statehood measures and this bill," retorted Representative Lloyd. The committee asked Delegate Wickersham if he wanted o cross examine Mr. Steele and the other law yers who have appeared in support of the railraods. "I certainly do," said Mr. Wicker sham. "I intend to present some proofs and say some things to this committee and Mr. Steele had best be here when I do it." "I don't need to be here," returned Mr. Steele; "you have said things to other committees about Alaska affairs that were not true." "That is not so," said Mr. Wicker sham. The committee decided to go to the bottom of the Alaskan matter. Dele gate Wickersham will have oppor tunity to cross examine the attorneys for the Guggenheim-Morgan interests next Monday.

Russia Notifies the Powers of a n Military Movement Which She Is About to Direct Against China. STKAINED RELATIONS.

Persistent Violation of Treaty of 1881 Is Alleged. Extent of the Demonstration Cannot Be Foretold. London, Feb. 16. The relations of Russia and China are strained to tha breaking point. Russia today notified the governments of Great Britain. France and Germany of her intention to make a military demonstration along the Russo-Chinese frontier owing to China's persistent violation of the St. Petersburg treaty of 1881. Russian troops will be sent forth with to the district of Hi. The extent of the demonstration, 11 Is added in the diplomatic note, will depend entirely on the attitude assumed by China. The vital questions involved aro free trade in Mongolia, the extra ter ritorial rights of Russians in China and the establishment of a Russian consulate at Keobdo, Mongolia. There have been rumors recently of an intention by Russia to bring pres sure to bear on China becaTuse of al leged violations of the Russo-Chinese treaty. That the situation was acute, however, has been denied both by the Chinese foreign board and the Rus sian legation at Peking. It has been admitted that there were differences in the interpretations of the international agreement as made at St. Petersburg and at Peking. The treaty, adopted in 1881 expires this month and it has been reported that China was unwilling to renew it, at least not until 'certain moderations had been made. The exchanges have already been closely guarded by both powers, and what stage the negotia tions have reached was not indicated until the St. Petesburg Gazette an nounced that an important confer ence had been held at the war minis try to consider "China's persistent flouting of treaty stipulations." The province of Hi, to which Rus sian troops will be sent, lies in the northern part of the Chinese empire. By a provision of the Russo-Chinese treaty of 1881, the western portion of Tit 1 t a in is incurporaiea wiin .ttussia m or der to serve as a place of establish ment ior me mnaDitants or Russia who having adopted Russian depend encies had to abandon the lands which thev possessed there. .u-ne frontier etween the posses sions of Russia and the Chinese prov-f ince of Hi is defined in the treaty. HE CALLS FOR FUNDS. President Taft Appeals for Aid for Starving Chinese. Washington, Feb. 16. President Taft has issued the following pro clamation calling for funds to aid the famine sufferers in China: "As president of the American Red Cross, I appeal to the people of this country to aid the unfortunate multi tudes who are dying of starvation be cause oi tamme in China, either by money contributions, which should bo sent to the local Red Cross treasurer or to the Red Cross, Washington, D. C, or by assisting in raising a cargo of flour and other suitable supplies to be sent to these people. "Congress has granted the use of an army transport to the Red Cross for this purpose. The Seattle Commer cial club of Seattle, Wash., is co operating with the Red Cross and will act as receiving and forwarding agent for all supplies. I trust that our peo ple will respond generously and that the transportation lines will aid in the delivery at Seattle. "WILLIAM H. TAFT." AFTER MANY YEARS. Appalachian Forest Reserve Bill Lack Only Taffs Signature. Washington, Feb. 16. After many years of delay, the bill for the creatioa of national forest reserves in the Whit mountains and the Southern Appala chians passed the senate late yester day, the vote standing 57 to 9. The negative vote was cast by Sena tors Bristow, Burton, Clark (Wyo.), Cullom. Gronna and McCumber. Re publicans, and Senators Davis. Payn ter and Shively, Democrats. The bill passed the house of repre sentatives last session and as it was accepted by the senate without change, it lacks only the signature of the presi dent to elevate it into a statute. While it is undestood the purpose of the bill is the acquisition of lands in the White mountains of New England and of the Appalachians in the south ern states, for the creation of forest reserves, it contains no specific men tion of such purpose. The authority for this proceeding is found in the general powers conferred by the bill. DEADLY HAT PHI. Wonnd From One Results In Ery sipelas and Finally Death. Boston, Feb. 18.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THIJBSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16,1911. uAILR0AD NEWS. Hore "Dope" on Removal of Horton Shops to Tope t a. Atchison Paper Gives Reasons for the Move. HORTON KOi WORRIED Town Believes Rock Island Thereto Stay. Is Other Items of General Inter est In Traffic World. "There la a rumor at Topeka that the Rock Island shops now at Horton will be moved to that city, and It Is being- talked stronger than ever now that M. A. Low, general western so licitor of the Rock Island, has sold his big farm near South Horton," says the Atchison Globe. "Should this move ever be made It will mean, it is believed, that the Rock Island will run its through business beftween St. Joe and Topeka by way of Atchison, using the Santa Fe from here west. It is argued that It would be just as cheap for the Rock Island to pay track rent to the Santa Fe as to pull freight and passengers over the longer route through Doniphan county via Horton. As time passes the mis take made in the buildingof the Rock Island westward from St. Joe, Instead of Atchison, is becoming more and more apparent. History has it that the Doniphan county and Horton line was spite work against Atchison for refusing to allow the Rock Island the use of Main street a quarter of a cen tury ago, when it began its extensions west of the Missouri river. Atchison was left out on the end of a limb, as far as the Rock Island is concerned, when that company built west from 6t. Joseph, but the company has al ways enjoyed a good business here. Atchison creates freight tonnage; it always has and it always will, and the amount la constantly on the increase. Right now the Rock Island is doing an unusually heavy business here, and should the Horton shops be removed, we may have even a better chance of getting them than Topeka. It is at least a matter that the Committee of Forty should Investigate without de lay." In answer to this story comes the Horton Headlight. It says: "What appeals to all Horton folks who know anything about the Rock Island, as especially funny in the article in the Globe, Is that the fact that M. A. Low has sold hia farm south of Horton Is given as a reason why the Horton shops may be moved elsewhere. The Horton shops were never located on Mr. Low's land, and even if Mr. Low had desired them there it would have been almost an impossibility, as his farm lies high, on rolling hills way above the level of the Rock Island tracks. By putting in a big grade the Rock Island might have been able to get tracks or shops up on top of the Low farm land. But Mr. Low wanted his land for a fine stock farm, and used it for that purpose for nearly 20 years. Race horses are a hobby of his, and he takes more pleasure in breeding and raising fine animals than In most anything else. Some of the horses raised on his farm south of Horton were bought by Senator Clark, the Montana millionaire, the late E. H. Harriman, and other equally prom inent men. at big prices. The.Btock was sold off over a year ago. The Low farm had as much to do with the Rock Island shops as the Atchison county poor farm. does. The Globe figure's that if the shops are moved to- Topeka or Atchison, it will be a great saving for the Rock Island to run its through business be tween Topeka and St. Joseph over the Santa Fe tracks. This would indeed be an intelligent saving when it is con sidered that the road has spent $700,000 or $800,000 In the last 18 months put ting down new steel and improving the track between Topeka and St. Joseph. What about the connections that the Rock Island now makes at Holton with the Northwestern and the L. K. W., and the Central Branch at Whiting. What about the Colorado and Nebraska connections made at Horton by the Fairbury line? And an other thing, we can't see any spite work in the Rock Island picking this part of Doniphan and Brown counties In preference to Atchison this section that is the richest in agriculture In Use TIZ Smaller Feet far Feat.

It was just good business sense. As for the Horton shops, it Is not probable that any of our generation will see their removal. They are ideal ly located for their purpose away from -a bie city ...not hampered, by ex orbltant taxation or main line traffic conditions which make it hard to move bad order or. newly repaired stuff. An other thing for the Instruction of the railroad reporter of the Globe; The Horton shops have for years been do ing ail sorts of car and locomotive re pairs cheaper than any other, shops on the system, and there have been leas labor troubles here than at other points. These are a few of the reasons whv shoo removal tain is noi.ning dui the height of foolishness. Let the Globe reporter try another brand of to bacco for his next "pipe." BIRTHDAYS FOR FEBRUARY.

The Erie Record: "The Santa Fe railroad, which is the biggest enter prise in Topeka, entertained the edi tors, their wives and other guests at a noonday luncheon that is simply past description. It was never sur nassed bv a similar 'function' in Kan sas, the west, or even the east for that matter. The Santa Fe never does anvthlnsr bv halves and they demon strated to the Kansas editors that they not only know how to run a railroad, but they likewise know how. to get up all the good things to eat, how to serve them and how to make their guests feel at home. The Santa Fe Is purely and simply a Kansas institu tion and is looked upon by the people of Kansas, with the exception of a few 'reformers,' as being one of the most important factors that has' made Kansas one of the foremost states in the Union. Long may the flag of the Santa Fe wave and may it not be long until the wild-eyed reformer in Kansas will bo looked upon as a greater pest to the state than grasshoppers and hot winds of long ago." BETTER SERVICE TO PUBLIC. Principal Reason for Reorganization of Rock Island. "The principal reason for the change in organization was the desire to furnish better service to the public," is the official announcement of the Rock Island on reorganization. "The first requirement is a decentralization of authority heretofore held in Chi cago. On each of the three districts the general manager will be supreme on the matters local to his district and with co-ordinate departments, will keep In touch with and meet service conditions promptly by frequent con ferences. In the operating depart ment, both the general superintendents and division superintendents will have on their staff the mectamcal and en gineering district or division represent atives. The plan is a divisional one wherein the superintendent Is respon sible for all operations on his territory, but the organization of the general superintendent's force differs from that of most roads having divisional organization. He will have a super intendent of motive power and an en gineer of maintenance of way report ing directly to him on all operating matters, and in this way the control of each general manager's district is centralized in the general superintend ent, who will be responsible only to his immediate superior, the general man ager. For purposes of maintaining uniform .practice and standard meth ods, the mechanical and engineering district representatives will be. advised by the system officers." RAILWAY NOTES. B. G. Krebbs of the ireneral super intendent's office of the Santa Fe has accepted the position of chief clerk to General Manager Fox at Amarillo. Pearl De Vaughn will take the posi tion vocated by Mr. Krebs In Superin tendent Parker's office. The recent good report Of earnings of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe is apparently being supplemented by figures showing increased car loading in January. The car loading report for the week ended January 28 showed an increase of 542 cars over the same week of last year and an advance of 2,443 cars over the corresponding pe riod of 1909. L. A.

Will Collinson, chief clerk in the of fice of C. W. Kouns, general manager of the Santa Fe, thinks the road should extend its lines to Lincoln, Neb. All of which goes to show that there is one big "attraction much gTeater than that which concerns the freight and passenger business. George McDonald has been appoint ed district car inspector of the Rock Island lines, with office at Armour- dale, Kan. The Rock Island's January car load ing was 111,495 cars, compared with 104.924 a year ago. The ttocK island olans an extension of about fifty miles from Des Moines, connecting with Kansas City line at Allertown, to ex nloit good bituminous section in Iowa. The Lake Shore's January car loading was 338.422 cars, or 50,795 increase. The Big Four, includ'ng the Peoria Eastern, reports 242,854 cars, or 3,600 Increase, and the Lake ISrie Western 51,685 cars, or 225 decrease. Santa Fe Employees' Magazine: w. H.

Only Three Conference Schools Will Attempt It. Sounds Like Last Wheeze Bnt Others Want In. acquis, Feb. "'16. The fact that iuy tour colleges are playing basket- ,5nd aU but three nave abandoned tne Idea of having a baseball team has ven rise to much speculation as to the statutes of the Missouri Valley con ference. All aruund the circuit the lovers of sport ara wondering and ask ing. Is the Missouri Valley conference showing signs of breaking up? The basketball representation in the young organization; this year is com posed of Missouri, Nebraska, Ames and Kansas. They are playing a series of three games each for fh. title nnri other schools Drake, Washington uni versity and Iowa are completely out me game. Ames, Kansas and Missouri are the only colleges that will have baseball teams this year. The others have as signed various reasons for abandoning the sport, but the reason given by Ne braska seems to be the best of all. The Cornhuskers, when the organiza tion was completed, objected to some of the eligibility rules, but decided to live up to them. They were promul gated under the leadership of Dr. Clark ,W. Hetherington, at that time in charge of athletics at Missouri, and are so strict that the Nebraska au thorities have decided that they cannot have a creditable baseball team and live up to them. The proviso that has caused most of the trouble Is that against summer baseball. The average college player, if he is at all skillful, can make enough money to carry him through the next year at school by playing with minor league teams. This.-under the rule, would make him ineligible for the col lege nine, and most of the players use assumed names. When he returns to college in the fall he fills out the eligibility blank with out a thought, and, although it is an open secret with his classmates, lies manfully about having accepted money for his services. Although the rule Is rather strict in some ways, it was Intended merely to keep colleges from hiring baseball players. The wording, though, is so strict that the player who accepts money, although he is going to college for an education and paying his own expenses,, is barred,,. This would take most of the good players away from the teams, and it. is for this reason that the colleges are abandoning the sport. Only Three Baseball Teams. Although there will be only three teams playing baseball this year, there are-not many. wb.p. believe that It. means the sport wilt not be revived. ft is taken to mean that the rules will merely be revised, so as to make it easier for the students. The only .reason that can be assigned for the giving up of basketball Is that it does not pay. Football is the only collegiate-, game that pays, and the money derived from this source pays for the other sports. By lopping off intercollegiate baseball and basketball the extension of the track schedules has become possible,, and it is probable that this reason will be given if the authorities are asked. While the other schools are quitting certain branches of snort, there. la no likelihood of -Missouri university drop ping any. The rivalry between the Tigers and Kansas ia so great that the two schools are always anxious to meet in any sport and will always do so. There have been chess and check er tourneys between the students of the two universities and It would not be surprising to see' a tldd-li-winks or ping-pong match. They have stuck to gether this season and will play four games of both basket ball and baseball. The relations between Kansas and Nebraska are much the same as be tween Kansas and Missouri. Nebraska and Missouri have not had athletio re lations for several years, but last week saw the resumption, when the Tigera won two games of basketball from the Cornhuskers. It would not be the unexpected should Iowa drop out of the competi tion completely, in all sport. The Hawkeyes have had several unsuccess ful seasons in every branch of sport and the teams are no longer good drawing cards, and the authorities find it harder every year to keep up the interest. Should Iowa drop out, there are eev-. eral strong schools knocking at the door of the conference. The foremost, and the one probably most favored, is St. Louis university. Kansas State Agricultural coliege is running the lo cal school a close second, and has a student body larger than most of the schools already parties to the agree ment. Oklahoma university has her boost ers and the Sooners have a good chance to ret In. They are living un der the same rules :as the conference and played games with Missouri and Kansas last year. Washburn college has been trying1 to get into the con- j ferehce ever since its organization, and the loss of any of the present mem bers would hardly be felt, as one of the four teams mentioned would make worthy successors. The only schools that there would be a chance of having to replace-would be Iowa. Drake or Washington. The three big state schools, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, have too; (many Tears oi traditional competition' back of them and they will undoubtedly -stick to gether. There has been the bitterest kind of competition between, the three and the relationship- -has usually been pleasant. No- matter who wine there is very little possibility -of. the three severing relations, v WOODWARD ON TRAINING TRIP Proxy Leaves for Sea Breeze, to Get In Shape.

New, York. Feb. 16 "Chic" Hart- man, one of the best ball players ever developed In the Bronx, has a griev ance and is a member of the "hold out" brigade. Last year "Chic" was a member of the Sioux City (Western league) team and created a sensation by his fast work at short field and his hard hitting. His batting average for the season was .308. Friends of Hartman expected to see him drafted by a big league club last year, but were disappointed. Now comes a story that the Buffalo, club of the Eastern league has its eyes on the Bronx boy, and through- "Jack" Hendricks, the Buffalo owner, made an offer of $1,000 to Sioux City for Hartman s release. Sioux City turned down the offer, claiming that if. Hartman showed as much improvement in 1911 as he aid in 1910 it would be able to sell Hart man's services to some big league club at a much larger figure. Hartman received his contract some time ago from Sioux City, but his sal ary was not increased over last year's mark. Hartman made a kick, but the owners refuse to raise his salary and Hartman thinks he is a victim of in justice. He wants to play in the -east, and although he has made many friends out west, he will not be satis fied until he secures a position with a club east of the MisslssiDPi. Hartman s rise in the baseball world has been rapid. He played one season with the Pottsville, Pa., club, then went to Forth Worth, Tex., for a year and has been two seasons In the West ern league, havinsc played with the Denver club for a season and a hair and with Sioux City since the middle of last summer, when he figured In a trade. KANSAS BIjOCKS THE TIGERS. Missouri Must Take Two to Win Championship. -Columbia, Mo., Feb. 16. The only way for the University of Missouri bas ketball team to win the Missouri val ley conference championship is to beat Kansas in both of the games to be played here this week. If only one game Is won Nebraska will have to be depended upon to beat Kansas at Lin coln if the Tigers get first place. Just sow Kansas stands first with a percentage of .883. Missouri is second with .667. Nebraska, third in the race, has a percentage of .375, and Ames is at the bottom with .250. If the Tigers win both games. Fri day and Saturday, from the Jayhawks, Missouri will reach first place with a percentage of .750, while Kansas will drop back to second place with .625. Missouri has six games yet to play.

For a bonus, said on good authority to be $500,000, the National League of professional baseball clubs, in session here made a 20-year contract with a leading sport ing goods firm to use a baseball of its manufacture for the official league ball. It is the same ball that has been used by the National League ie last 16 years and in readopting it the mag nates rejected an offer of a Cincin nati firm said to have been $320,000 in 20 annual installments of $16,250, of which-half was to be in cash and half In baseball supplies. Heretofore it has been commonly sup posed, even among the players, that the big leagues paid about 87 cents each for balls which sell at retail at $1.23. But the developments show they not -1: only, pay nothing, but receive all the balls they use free and very constd- erable cash besides. The ball in ques tion is made in Chicago and the con tract begins with the season of 1912. The league schedule was adopted without change and the schedule al ready prepared and sent out stands for the season. This shows that all of the clubs will travel 89,733 miles dur ing the season. Chicago gets the worst of the schedule, according to baseball tnen. The club must travel 14,579 miles and has nine conflicting dates. The club mileage for the season, ac cording to the schedule, will be as fol lows: Boston, 11,224 miles-: Brooklyn, 9,397 miles; New York. 10,574 miles; Phila delphia, 8,426 miles; Pittsburg, 13.590 miles; Cincinnati, 10,862 miles; Chicago, 14,597 miles, and St. Louis, 11,081 miles. In St. Louis all conflicts have been eliminated for the first time and each league has 13 Sundays to itself, or 50 per cent of the whole. Each club plays on 26 Saturdays out of a possible 26. Cincinnati and St. Louis play an extra Sunday, due to a poalble overnight Jump from the east to Cincinnati. The salary of President Thomas J Lynch was increased from $9,000 to $10,000 a year.

They Need Not Be Expensire But at Least Neat. Should Have Appearance That Gives Bight Impression. Manhattan Kan., Feb. 16. A girl can buy her outfit for college for $50 if she has some sort of a foundation to build her wardrobe upon. If she has to buy everything new, however, this amount will not half cover the expense. Clothes ure an important item in the college girl's career. This does not mean an elaborate outfit by which a girl tries to win her way. A few well fitting clothes add to everyone's happiness. Appearance is the first thing noied and usually it gives a lasting impression. Pretty girls, tastefully and still mod estly arrayed are cheerful features of the morning, noon and evening pa rades as the students of the Kansas State Agricultural college flock to and from their homes and lodgings. In degree of importance, street clothes come first. A suit is indispen sable. It does not have to be of ex pensive material... The cut is the thing. The best dressmaker in town cannot give the swing and style to a garment that is found in even a medium priced -leady-n.ade suit. It should he of some rough finished material, plainly tailor and of a color that will look well with different skirts. Gray and dark blue are good colors. Such a suit will cost $20 or $25. A hat is the next consideration. Five or six dollars will buy a simple felt trimmed in ribbon or velvet. Good. common-sense shoes and a pair of neu tral colored gloves complete an outfit in which any girl might feel well dressed. The college, girl is denied silk petti coats but one made at home of light weight mohair with a silk ruffle will prove very satisfactory. With only $50 to spend, she cannot hope to cope with dressmaker's bill, so shirtwaists and the underwear needed to supple ment that already on hand must be made at home. Four shirtwaists of natural colored linene or white nurse's linen will be a sufficient number. A nifty collar or tie with these waists, lends distinction to a girl's appear ance. A skirt or wool dress left over from the year before may seem past wear ing but if cleaned and pressed many months' wear may be found. A col lege girl should disdain nothing wear able. It is the way that even an old dress is worn that counts. Some sort of party dress is neces sary and It is here that a girl who has never been aw from home may make a grave mistake. It must be used for a variety of occasions. Many grils find an inexpensive foulard silk in a pretty shade very satisfactory. It does not need much trimming and if wanted for a strictly evening affair may be with a guimpe which Is left off on such occasions. A dress of some summer material which has perhaps done long service may be remodeled and made to serve again. The fashion of wearing a col ored slip with this kind of garment lends dressiness to the frock. The $50 is now exhausted but Miss Freshman at least has the things nec essary to be well dressed. Here is a list of the articles and their cost: Cloth suit $22.00 Hat 850 Shoes 3.50 Gloves 100 Material for shirtwaists 4.00 Material and trimming for under clothing 1.50 Silk dress 10.00 Silk skirt 2.50 Other accessories 2.00 $50.00 SCOTT TENDERED A BANQUET.

Said society starting from nothing- has progressed steadily until now it extends protection to the bene ficiaries of its more than 100,000 mem bers, with assets of, approximately, two million dollars, and Whereas. This organization has nev er asked nor received assistance of any kind from the city of Topeka, but has given the city a great business indus try; has, for years, heen among our heaviest taxpayers and depositors in the local banks, and now is deserving of something in return, in the way of endorsement for its movement to in crease its membership, .here in Topeka, by 1,000. within the next 60 days; be it Resolved.

You have heard of songs complimenting mother's hands, and the like. But what do thfey sav about father? Of the few songs written on this subject one of them you probably have heard is "Everybody Works but Father.' But I tell you that many a father's hands, strong, brave and true, are scarred from labor for his family, and although he may not be as tender as mother, and he may not caress his children so often, he deserves thsir love and reverence. This is one bouquet for father. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Miss Katie Weber, 26 year3 old. is dead at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kahler, 206 North Chandler street.

Immediately after the election last fall, there was a lot of talk to the ef fect that President Taft would be seri ously handicapped in his efforts to ac complish anything worth while during the last two years of his term of office because he would have a Democratic congress on his hands. But with Pres i e: ident Taft and Champ Clark, the lead er of the Democrats, standing squarely on the same platform in respect to eciprocity between the United States and other countries, it is reasonable to surmise that President Taft and the "Democrats will be able to get together on other questions of important con cern to the people.

THOSE LEAHY CHARGES. Nothing has f"Hen In Kansas in a long time with such dull, sickening thud as did the charges which Mr. David Leahy, private secretary to the governor, that he had all" kinds of information up his sleeve concern ing corrupt practices in the legislature, and his intimation that they prevail ed more generally in the senate and among the senators who are classified as standpatters. Mr. Leahy was given as large an op portunity as any man, who has made charges, could have to substantiate them. He was before the senate for several hours and had the chance to disclose anything he might know about legislative corruption in general and senatorial corruption- in. particu-r lar. He was pressed with all kinds of question to: bring out such knowl edge of improper legislative acts as were in his possession. And what did he disclose? On what did he turn his supposedly fierce searchlight of pub licity? He had information to the effect that an effort had been made to bribe one of the clerks in the house of repre sentatives to so alter the records that, a piece of legislation, and a very un important matter at that one which merely concerned a single locality in the state, not a measure of general im portancemight have easier sailing on Its way to becoming a law. Of course any such effort as this is quite reprer hensible. and it matters not whether it concerns an important or an unim portant piece of legislation. But there was nothing in this particular one to involve the integrity of any member of the legislature, and the man &p proached preserved his integrity Invio late. He was not susceptible to a bribe. Furthermore the affair happened in the house of representatives, and there was certainly nothing in it that would warrant Mr. Leahy in expressing his opinions that any or a majority of the senators were either corrupt or .crook ed, although it appears that Mr. Leahy's idea of the meaning of the word crooked is far different from that which has usually been given. As a matter of fact the Leahy charges petered out to nothing. Their prompt and rigorous handling by the senate ought to have a salutary effect. Too many people are altogether too prone to indulge in loose talk on the actions of the people's representatives in the legislature. Whenever these members take any action that is not acceptable to everybody, the disgruntled ones are too free with their cries of "fraud." He is a poor politician who plays the game and loses and then imputes dis honesty to those who have won. In 99 cases out of 100 such Imputations are no more reliable than were those made by Mr. Leahy. A SPECIAL SESSION FUTILE. It is difficult to figure out just how Governor Stubbs can obtain any dif ferent action at a special session of the legislature on the various measures in which he is particularly interested from that which has been or will be accordedto these pieces of legislation at the present session. There will be no change in the personnel of the leg islature at a special session from what it is now. It Is almost unreasonable to assume that the members of the legislature, who have gone on record as being opposed to the legislation which is designed to carry out certain of the planks in the last Republican platform, will go home after "the regu lar session, change their minds entire ly, return to a special session and vote directly opposite to the way they have at the regular session. s The situation is not analogous at all to that which haa developed at Wash ington, where President Taft has inti mated that he will call a special ses sion of congress in case definite ac tion is. not taken by the senate on the reciprocity plan with Canada which has already passed the house. If President Taft. should feel the neces sity of calling such a special session it would comprise a different congress from that now in session. The new house of representatives that was chosen at the last election and the ma terially changed senate that will result from the recent senatorial elections in the legislatures of several of the states would be the congTess that would con vene in special session. And being a different congress, there would be a chance of it taking different action on the reciprocity bill. Similar conditions do not prevail in Kansas, however, and it looks as though a calling of a special session of the legislature by Governor Stubbs, with the hopes that the samj men will take diametrically opposite positions from those they have assumed at the regular session, would be waste of time, energy and the state funds it would cost to pay its expenses. THE CARNEGIE PEACE FUND. The public is, of course, most in terested to know, what direction the action of a powerful agency like this will take, writes Paul S. Reinsch in The North American Review for February. Though, animated with a social purpose than which no higher can be conceived, this is. after all, a private organization. It may, there fore, be assumed, with safety, that it will abstain from interference in dip lomatic negotiations, prejudging in any way the responsible action of the government. Any other course might at times become exceedingly embar rassing to those in. whose hands the conduct of our foreign affairs is placed. They bear the responsibility; it is for them to choose the time and place for the urging of national policies even when the broadest questions of civili zation are involved. But. on the other hand, there can be no doubt of the advantage to be gained by our govern ment in informing itself through the results gained by this institution and, if need be, in co-operating with it -to brihg about great national purposes. Similar considerations apply with re spect to national legislation. It is es sential that in combating the condi tions which threaten humanity with wasteful war the world-wid character of these should be appreciated. Ad vance must rest upon the general im provement of the situation and upon a mutual understanding between Jhe great powers. While it is, therefore, a part of real patriotism to insist that our foreign policy shall be pervaded with a' spirit of justice, it would not be right to deny our government those instruments for supporting its action in International affairs which those whom we hold responsible for the suc cess or failure of our national policy may consider indispensable. But with in these limitations there still remains a wide field in which legislative action may be informed and influenced, and more still may be obtained by securing joint measures on the part of the prin cipal countries of the-world.

KANSAS COMMENT HIGH COST OF PRINTING.- Two Reno county, newspapers were sold at auction recently, and half a dozen Kansas weeklies are advertised for sale. The publishers of daily pa pers have to do tall figuring to make ends meet, even In brisk seasons, and in dull seasons there is a erood deal of tragedy in newspaper offices. jveryining mat a printer man buys has gone up in. price. Labor is more expensive than a few vears aero, and it is the same way with paper, and ink, and all his supplies. ine nutcher and the grocer and other business men can charge more for their goods as their expenses in crease, and the ultimate consumer has to stand for it, but the publisher can not raise his prices without causing a general howl. He gets the same subscription price that he got when it cost him half as much to issue his paper, and he can't raise his advertis ing rates without having the militia back of him. And in nine cases out of ten he has to fight against ruinous competition. Printers seem, to have less sense than the ordinary run of men, in that they are willing to work for nothing, rather than have nothing to do. As a consequence of this condition of affairs a good many Kansas papers are on the market, and among them are several which are old and which used to be prosperous. Emporia Ga zette.

Already the blue prophet is making his predictions of a short winter wheat crop as a consequence of the continued lack of moisture in this section of the country.

The constitutional amendment mak ing United States senators elective by popular vote instead of by legislatures is now the unfinished business before the senate. This gives the amendment a more advanced position than it ever reached before. It was placed there by persistent maneuvering, supported by a very small majority vote. If it were an- ordinary bill its passage at this session would be assured, but a two-thirds vote is needed for a con stitutional amendment. Unless It can secure more votes on its passage than it has had in the balloting which gain ed it the right, of way, It will be de feated for this session. It is possible that some of the votes withheld from the amendment in the preliminary skirmishing may be giv en In its support when senators are called to make a record for or against on the question of its passage. It is rash, therefore, to assume too posi tively that It cannot pass at this ses sion, though the indications are against It. Its status in the next con gress will be very different. A large number of the senators whose vote3 were recorded adversely to the amend ment on Friday are losing their sena torial careers, at least for the present. New senators will take their places whose antecedents favor the presump tion that they will support the amendment for the popular election Of senators. Philadelphia Press. PAROLING FEDERAL PRISONERS. There is no precedent for paroling federal prisoners, but that is no rea son why the practice, under conditions similar to those under which certain municipal and state prisoners are given another chance, should not be adopted. And it would not be the first time that states havi led the nation. v All things considered, the best time to extend clemency, if U can be ex tended then; is before a man or wom an is committed to prison. Mercy at that time is worth more man later, when the mark of the convict has been set upon the prisoner. The work of reforming criminals and reducing crime, of making men and women out those who are weak or mildly vicious, cannot be effectively carried forward without the parole system or its equiv alent. Some discretionary power must be left with the officers of the courts, and the necessity is just as great in the federal courts as in the state and city courts. The departure that Mr. Leslie J. Lyons, United States district attorney, proposes to make in this direction will be watched with interest and con fidence. The granting of indefinite continuances in certain cases and un der prescribed cpnditlons, amounting to a parole and ultimately leading to dismissal for good behavior, is a plain, nractical way to exercise helpful clem ency In the federal courts.

Artorio-Sclerosis. The newspapers record the death of Paul Morton from arterio-sclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, resulting in a rupture or apoplexy. This malady, which has become so common, Is a disease of the coats of the arteries in which they become thickened, brittle, and degenerated, and liable to rupture under unusual stress. Not infrequent ly thickening or thinning of the heart muscles and Bright's disease of the kidneys are associated with this dis ease. According to the best observers. It is thought that arterio-sclerosis is due to a soluble poison circulating in the blood. This poison may be elaborated within the system or Introduced from without in the food and drink. The contributing causes are overeating, ex cessive drinking of alcohol, and auto Infection from too much meat or eggs. Further, the living of a strenuous life with mental overstrain Is one of the principal causes. Some of the early symptoms are dyspepsia, headache, difficulty of breathing, nervous irritability, some times pain over the heart or in the left arm, and throbbing of the arteries in the neck or in the sides of the fore head. The pulse becomes full and hard, and high blood pressure prevails. The diagnosis may be verified by the use of the sphygmomanometer, or Diood pressure gauge. The normal blood pressure in man is from 125 to 140 millimeters. Arterio-sclerosis usually appears in persons more than SO years old, but in unusual cases it may be seen In persons as young as 38 or 40. In the treatment first get the diges tion right, eliminate all excesses, and prescribe the simplest food. For a time use partially digested foods, and little, of any, meats or eggs. A mod erate amount of exercise and massage is useful, bpt all mental and physical strain must be avoided. The mind should be kept occupied, but the emo tions must be suppressed. The D"Arsonval treatment by the use of high frequency electric currents is of great value in reducing the blood pres sure and keeping the arteries in a more elastic state. Iodide of potash and nitro-glycerin are also of. benefit in some cases. Dr. s. G. Tracy in the New York Tribune. Milnne Slapped Back.

Minnie is 29 years old and her own er says she is the largest elephant in captivity, and also the most docile. Her owner, Max Gruber. engaged Wil liam Dawson, an experienced trainer, to take the place of Hans because Minnie was getting too big for Hans to handle.

Sir Edmund Walker, who Is president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, which has between 230 and 240 branches, including one in New York, in Seattle, in Portland, Ore., in Mexico, and in Eng land, is at the Manhattan. Sir Edmund is recoenized as one of the foremost au thorities on banking in the Dominion. He does not think much of the idea of a central bank for the United States on the lines that have been discussed. "The ideal central bank for this coun try was the old United States Bank," said Sir Edmund, "and most of your ills in the banking business have been con sequent upon its abolishment. Such a central bank as I have heard outlined is really nothing but a gigantic clearing house. It would do a business not with the public, but with banks only. Most of its Dusiness wouia De oone ourmg uinta of financial stringency, and at other times it would be nracticallv idle.

The Bank of France will lend as small a sum as $10. Such a central bank as is proposed is not a place where one great concern might go upon necessity and borrow a million dol lars. That is what I think is needed hre. The Canadian idea of having branch banks simplifies bankinz as compared with the numerous independent institu tions you have in this country, wnere pvfrv one ia for itself. You have more than 15,000 banks fighting each other in a way, each with different interests. In Canada when any financial problem is to be considered we have less than 30 bank ers to get together.

Banking has changed here enormously since that time, but in riV fart of the country have there been such changes as in the south." New York PUB- THE EVENING STORY In Ancestral Halls. V By Francis A. Corey.) Pausing just outside the massive gateway, Leslie Graham gazed wist fully' at the picturesque old mansion and the lonely tangled garden. -sV The charming place should have been her home. It had been in the Graham family for 200 years. But her present abode was the hall bed room of a cheap lodging house;' "and her crochety old grandmother dwelt alone in the ancestral halls with a small retinue of servants. Thrice had Leslie written within six months making overtures toward a reconciliation. But her letters had been promptly returned with the two words, "Not wanted," indorsed upon the back. Leslie herself was not to blame for this unfortunate state of affairs. The trouble dated twenty years back before her day when Madame Graham s only son married a pretty actress and the proud old woman had disowned him. He was dead now; so was the pink doll for whose love he had sacrificed himself; but not even his daughter's poverty and friendliness had softened madame's obdurate heart. "I've half a mind to go and tell grandma I've come to stay," she said aloud to herself." The aristocratic old place drew her like a magnet. It would be like heaven to live there. She turned her back on the allur ing picture, and slowly wended her way to the dreary boarding house. As she gained the upper landing Amy Burton opened th? door of her own room, showing a litter or nau packed trunks and empty boxes. "Come in. Leslie," she said eagerly. "I'm in trouble, and you can help me out. I heard you say yesterday that you were out of a place. I applied to Madame Graham, of Overlook, for the position of companion. Word has Just come that x am to report ior auiy immediately, and here's a telegram from home saying mother is very ill and I'm wanted there." Amy crushed the yellow envelope nervously in her nana, paie wun emo tion. "What do you want me to do?" Les lie articulated faintly. "Go to Overlook and keep the place until I return to claim it." Leslie clutched .a chair to steady bArRBif. sh did not Believe in chance, but she did believe in Provi dence. For all she was a Graham, it was certain that Amy had never thought of this fact in connection witn the aristocratic mistress of Overlook. She did not take her friend into her confidence now. What she did say, af ter a moment's thinking was this: "Verv welL Amy. I'll go." An hour later she stood again at the Overlook gate, looking Into the love ly green tangle. This time the gate was closed. As she tugged at the nonderous latch a perfectly groomed young man in white flannels rose from a bench beside the drive and hurried forward. "Allow me," he said politely, and swune wlde the gate. A warm color leaped into the girl's face. She went up the shaded wain wondering who the stranger could be and what he was doing at ovenooK. She was shown into an old fashioned room where Madame Graham sat in a high backed chair. Never had Leslie seen her grandmother at such short range before. She looked curiously at the little, wrinkled old woman, think ing what a picturesque figure she was in her lusterless black silk and price less laces. "What's your name?" Madame shot the question at her like a bullet- "I have forgotten it if I was ever told. Simpkins engaged you." There was a moment's pause. Here was a difficulty at the outset. She could not give Amy Burton's name; neither would she take one to which she had no right. "Leslie." she answered recklessly. Madame started. Her keen blue eyes became suddenly two points of light. "That's my own name. Leslie Gra ham." She gave a short laugh. "My mother waa a Leslie. There were no boys in the family, so I was given a name that should Deiong to a Doy, just to keep it in daily use. But I guess it suits me. I hate feminine names. You're not a Westmoreland Leslie, of course?" The sharp eyes were focused on the girl's face. Leslie felt her heart in her throat. But she was spared the necessity of replying by the en trance of the man who had opened the gate for her. "Hugh Wentworth." paid madame, presenting him, "the grandson of my dearest friend. I nave asKea mm nere for two weeks that I may make up my mind whether he is to be my heir or not. Miss Leslie, Hugh." There was a look of genuine ad miration in the young man's eyes as he acknowledged the Introduction. "I've got money enough of my own. I don't covet madame's thousands," he declared with a boyish laugh. "They must go to those of her own blood." "Not a dollar to the daughter of a play acting woman, if that is what you mean," snapped madame. Leslie bit her lip. She let the slur pass, this once. But never again should her grandmother disparage her beautiful mother unrebuked. For a few days all went well. Les lie wrote madame's ietters. read to her, performed the duties of lady's maid. She would have welcomed any task that gave her the Joy of living in that charming house.- And then she began dimly to realize what a vivid part of the beautiful life for which she sighed Hugh Wentworth had already become. She fairly haunted the dear old garden. She knew Just where her father had loved to play when a boy, where he had walked and dreamed as a man. The sweet tangle with its hal lowed association had a charm of which she never tired. One late twilight she wandered un der the trees until the gold was quite gone from the sky. She had flung about her a wrap of oriertal silk, long and voluminous. It had been her mother's. She still had it on when she entered the quaint old library where her grandmother and Hugh sat in the lamplight. One look, and the old lady started voilently to her feet. "That cloak! How did you come by it?" she almost shrieked. Without waiting for a reply she crossed to her desk, fumbled in a secret drawer with trembling hands, and held a card photograph up to the light. Leslie gasped with dismay. Her mother's picture taken in this selfsame wrap. Madame glanced at it, then at the girl, white as the lace at her throat. "Now I know why you look like an actress! That dancing puppet of the footlights was your mother!" Leslie drew herself up '.'Yes, and I am proud of the fact," she said. "Who would not be proud of such a mother the best woman in the world and the most beautiful?" ing the arm of her chair with her fist. cried, her voice rising louder and sharner with each word. "Leave m house this Instant! Leslie turned with a wonderful ges ture that was a legacy from the. stage. On the threshold she paused an in stant. "Grandmother." she said, "I want you to forgive me for coming here like this. My poor father had told me so much about Overlook and the happy days of his boyhood I wanted to know more of the dear old place. And he always spoke so tenderly, for givingly of you.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1911. Hakes Homa Osklng Easy Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made front Roy ay Grape Cream of Tartar tJULs Topeka has seen "The Chocolate boi dler" and has decided unanimously that lie will do both individually and collec tively. This tuneful opera packed the Grand opera house because it had the official O. K. of the large cities, but there has not been a metropolitan success that has come athwart the Topeka horizon tor a Ions: time which has been so com pletely satisfying: as this. "The Chocolate Soldier" is founded on the George Bernard Shaw play, "Arms and Man," and it has a real plot, a plot so original and unique that it is difficult to understand why it was a failure as a play. It has been Invested with delight lul music by Oscar Straus which com ,1 phtes a combination that is irresistible even to those who might be called the cvnical theater goers. The scene is laid in Bulgaria and the inspiration comes from the Servian-Bulgarian war if it can be called a war of the SO's. A Servian soldier is captured and escapes from his guard and takes refuge in a voung Bulgarian woman's bed room, lie is an arrant coward and does not trv to conceal the fact but neverthe less the weakness of a woman for a uni form overcomes the repugnance of the girl for his cowardice and she cares for him and hides Mm while a party of soldiers makes a search of the room. The young woman is engaged to a Bulgarian major and this furnishes an excuse for the song hit of the opera "My Hero." The young Servian says things about her fiance which would indicate that the major is not exactly a hero but she adheres to her determination to marry him. The fond ness of her guest for chocolates causes the young woman to refer to him as "A Chocolate Soldier" and that is how the opera gets its name. The second act is after the "crool" war is over and the wedding is about to take place when the chocolate soldier appears to brins- back a house jacket which he had borrowed to facilitate his escape. Then complications, ensue. The major finds that his fiance has befriended the Chocolate Soldier and indignantly calls off the wedding and then what could the poor girl do but marry her chocolate sol dier and It is to be presumed they lived happily ever after. The comedy is a burlesque of the mili tary and the satire is. sharp and cutting.. The costumes were those of the Bulgar ians and were unusual as they were in teresting. The opera served to renew the ac quaintance of Topeka theater goers with some old favorites. First in the list was Forest Huff who has the part of the Chocolate Soldier. Mr. Huff was first seen here as a tenor with the W'ilbur Kirwin opera company and he was here a long time because the company couldn't get money enough to get out of town. He sang well then but his tenor has im proved and he has also become a clever actor. Then thore was Fred Mace as Colonel Popoff who was last seen in To peka in "The Umpire," in which he had the leading comedy role. John Dunsmore as Captain Massakroff was first seen in Topeka with the Bostonians long, long ago. He was also here with Francis Wil son in "lirminie." He has a bass voice which fairly jars the rafters -and he fit ted admirably into the part of the swag gering captain. The individual soloists were especially pleasing. Aside from Huff the tenor of Henry Coote as Major Alexius Spiridoft was a feature. Grace Drew was the Nadina Popoff who fell in love with the Chocolate Soldier, and her soprano is one of the btst ever heard in light opera in Topeka. The ensemble singing especially at the cloce of the second act was little short of wonderful, the clijorus being rare and well trained as well as possessing the ability to sing. An orchestra of 25 pieces assisted ably in making the Chocolate Soldier the most pleasing offering of the dramatic eaon in Topeka. Miss Grace Drew, the lovelorn "Nadina" of "The Chocolate Soldier," aired some of her views on matrimony between the acts of the Grand presentation last night. "Why i I told all my ideas on that subject it certainty wouia De a sensation," she began. er V You re not a cyme, are you?" was asked. "A cynic.' isever. Why there s nothing grander nor more noble than a real mar riage but don't you know they're scarce these days. Girls rush into it without the slightest idea of consequences; often do it just because their parents want them to. "That isn't love. That's a sham wee ding. It's a big proposition too big for most of us, but if you want me to tell you what I think, I'd say: 'Find the man you love, think twice, then don't do it.' But it's a toss up one way or the other. Most girls are happier with their work. xneir piano, infir oooks ana mew triends, than they would be with husbands." Miss Drew is a Missourian bv birth. In her early years, her parents moved to St. Louis from the southern part of thf state, after which she was schooled at jHonuceuo seminary, tier first appear ance on the stage was in Los Angeles, following which she was engaged for me Lana 01 iNoa. ssne was a pupil of Jean de Reszke for a year, then with Mme.

He can produce the squeal that is admitted. He Is actually suf fering for a chance to tell the senate what he thinks of it, and it Is no more than right that he should be given the chance. The pinkish not to say fattish, gentleman from Ernpory, is a pur veyor of popular fiction ranking sec ond only to Dave Leahy. We have se-n him, however, in attempting to make a set speech before an assembly of school teachers, shed great globules of perspiration, lose his place on the manuscript and finally fall like a pound of over-heated butter.'We were so deeply gratified over his effort upon that occasion, that we long to hear his plaintive squeak once more' A woman wrote "To Have and to Hold," a story of pirates ad lib and gore by the bucketful. Robert Louis Stevenson, a peaceful invalid, wrote "Master of Ballantrae" and other blood-curdlers, and Willie Allie White On the Senate Griddle. wrote that masterpiece, "Boyville," a stirring review of the early lives of real, live boys. In so doing, he follow ed the rule that a writer of fiction should follow his imagination rather than his experience, for, as Mary Johnson and Robert L. wrote of meat eating pirates, just so did Willie Allie White write of real live boys. We have it from a Topeka woman who knew the Empory person as a small boy, that Willie was what is known as a "weeper;" that even at that early age, he was prone to ."view with alarm" upon the slightest provocation, and that upon one occasion when he met a pig in his mother's door yard, he was frightened out of a year's ac cumulation of fat. This incident is undoubtedly responsible for his present- aversion, to pork Early, impres-. sions are sometimes hard to shake off. But. recurring to the original ques tion: Let not the senate overlook this chance of a lifetime. Let Mr. White be placed on the senate gTiddle. The result may be lard, and it may be milk toast, but in any instance. It would be worth coining several blocks to see. There ia yet another Democrat in the 1911 house of representatives who meets with the approval of this de partment. He is known in Marshall county as "Andy" Shearer. In To peka we call him "Mr. Shearer," or the "Gentleman from Marshall." A quiet, forceful man who is so blamed rights on every proposition that he is suspected of real thought and consid Representative Shearer. eration over legislative matters, he is not only ace-high with the Democrats, but more than a mere incident in the eyes of the Republican members. And what is more to the point of this mild eulogy of Mr. Shearer: we find, upon a perusal of our. private blacklist, that he was Tighter than a squirrel on the baseball vote. Once Mr. Shearer was a Populist and served In the senate. Even then he was recognized as a man with a mind. The best speech made in represen tative hall during this session, was made by a colored man. a professor at Quindaro university. He was at the head of a party of teachers and stu dents from that well known institution. and this department would like to suggest: That if that colored man and his party of students would spend the next two years in simply exhibiting themselves over the country. thev could do more toward eradicating race' prejudice than could all the speakers in the white race.

RYAN'S BODY ENTOMBED Funeral of the Archbishop One of the Greatest Ever Held. Philadelphia, Feb. 16. The body of the late Archbishop Patrick John Ryan was today entombed in the crypt be neath the high altar of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in this city following funeral services that were Imposing. It was one of the greatest funerals ever held in Philadelphia. Practically all the prominent figures in the hier archy of the Roman Catholic church in the United States participated in the service and hundreds of priests from all parts of the east also were present. The cathedral held 3,500 persons and surrounding the building was a great concourse of people who witnessed the procession from the church around Logan Square and back to the edifice. The weather was cloudy and raw. With the exception qf the heavy black draperies and a few large palms, there were no flowers. The body of the archbishop rested upon acatafalque in front of the high altar surrounded by lights and the guard of honor. It was dressed in full rich vestments of the office of archbishop including the mitre. The service began with the chanting of the divine office made up of excepts from the Scriptures. The antiphon arians who performed this office in cluded Cardinal Gibbons, clad in the scarlet of the sacred college and sur rounded by his assistants. With the end of the service the officiating clergymen retired to the sacristy where the procession for the pontifical mass of requiem was formed. Cardinal Gibbons presided at the mass. In the procession were Monsignor Falconi, the papal delegate to the United States, and Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis who preached the sermon. JUGGLING OF FIGURES. Is Charged at the Pan-American Com mercial Conference. Washington, Feb. 16.- Sensational charges were made at the Pan-Ameri can Commercial conference today that the government bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and la bor was issuing misleading statistics on the export trade of the United States. The charges were made by Francis J. Lowe of New York, who read an affidavit made by a former confidential clerk of the bureau. Mr. Lowe, representing a number of export merchants of New York, im mediately following a speech by O. P. Austin, chief of the bureau of statis tics, announced that the exporters of New York wanted to know whether the bureau still was issuing mislead ing statistics on export trade of the United States. He then read an affidavit made in 1907 by Charles S. Price, for three years the confidential cltrk of the bu reau, stating that instructions were issued in regard to the export of man ufactures which would tend to mislead and that the proof could be shown by referring to schedule E of the bureau, in which raw materials are described as "wholly or partly manufactured" and which wade a tremendous differ ence in the declared exports of manu factures wholly. 1 Mr. Austin denied the accusation. asserting the full summaries of the bureau gave accurate and detailed in formation. Chicago Fire Widows Pensioned. Chicago, Feb. 16. Nineteen widows and twenty-eight children wives and dependents of the firemen who died in the stockyards fire two months ago, including Mrs. Margaret Horan, widow of Fire Marshal Horan became pen sioners when their names were placed on the firemen's pension- roll. It will cost $860 a month to take care of the families. CATARRH OF THE STOMACH A Pleasant. Simple, But Safe and Ef fectual Cure For It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in-. curable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watefy risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, head aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the inter ior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed con dition. The cure for this common and ob stinate trouble is found in a treat ment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stom ach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use af ter each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aspetic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy ap petite and thorough digestion will fol low their regular use after meals. The plan of dieting is simply an other name for starvation, and the use of prepared foods and new f angled breakfast foods simply makes mat ters worse as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows. As Dr. Bennett says, the only reas on I can igamine why Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets are not universally used by everybody who is troubled in any way with poor digestion i3 because many people seem to think that be cause a medicine is advertised or is sold in drug stores or is protected by a trade mark it must be a humbug whereas as a matter of truth any druggist who is observant knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have cured more people of catarrh of the stom ach, indigestion, heartburn, heart trouble, nervous prostration and run down condition generally than all the patent medicines and doctors' pres criptions for stomach trouble com bined. Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the sim plest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

That's the Question. Regarding Grass or Trees on North Side Dikes. FOR MORE WATERWAY. Soldier Creek Santa Fe Bridge Lengthened. Bank Excavated to Widen Bed of stream. With the approach of spring the ques tion arises as to the advisability of planting anything more on the dikes for the purposes of better holding the earth together. All kinds of plants have been proposed from bird seed to trees. Cane has also been urged as well as Bermuda grass. The last, however, is regarded as unadapted to this climate. The proposition of planting some thing is broached .both from a practical and artistic standpoint. The idea of planting trees seems to meet with ap proval from both points of view. While in the summer the natural grass and weeds growing on the embankments when seen from a distance helr to beau tify the scene, it has been suggested that trees planted at regular intervals, would do more in this line than any thing else. The drainage board have considered these different ideas more or less seri ously and it is not improbable that something more might be done this spring. One North side man favored making an automobile driveway by graveling the surface of the dikes, but so far noth ing definite has been done toward that proposition. Mrs. J. R. Madison, assisted by the Union Bible class of Rochester Sunday school, entertained at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Madison, Tuesday evening for the of ficers, teachers and 'members of Mr. Hoover's class. Those of the class who stood in the receiving line were: Miss Hattie Campbell, Miss Eda McNoun, Miss Anna Anweiler the others in the class assisting in entertaining in the different rooms.

Concrete abutments are being in stalled at the Santa Fe bridge north east of Topeka. This is being done because of the widening of the creek bed at this point. The width has been increased about 80 feet by excavation of the bank. The bridge has been raised about eight inches. This work has been done to give more waterway in time of high water through an agreement between the railroad company and the drainage board. J. N. Stewart of the North Topeka drainage board has been delegated by the board to confer with A. L. Mohler, general manager of the Union Pacific, regarding the continuation of building dikes and jetties along the Kaw river bank. It is the present plan of the board to co-operate with the railroad, which has already built some jetties. Notes and Personals.

Hummer, formerly of Grant ville. who recently went to Wichita to work for a nursery, has decided to locate in Topeka.. He is moving to 1319 North Harrison street. A North side man, giving advice to a younger man about marriage, said this morning: 'If a girl says 'we' in chatting to neighbors, she is all right to marry, but if she says 'I' let her alone." L. O. Reed, who has been living southwest of Topeka, is moving to. 1335 North Harrison street. J. E. Bradley of Rossville is a North side visitor today. One of the most enjoyable events of the season was the social Riven bv the junior and intermediate depart- i ments of -the North side Baptist church at' the -church last night.)

A musical program from Mendelssohn will be ren dered by the choir. An interclass girls' basketball game was a feature at Washburn gymna sium last night. The freshmen girls won from the juniors 18 to 16. Now that" the legislative matter has been settled the management of the state fair .will begin to make extensive plans for a great exposition next fall. "Shoplifting is almost stamped out in Topeka," said Mayor Billa-d this afternoon. -"There were only three arrests for this offense in the year 1910." Both the First Congregational and the First Baptist churches are now looking for pastors. Dr. F. L. Hayes will remain in Topeka but two or three months longer. There are fair prospects for two spring seasons this year. If the rains and sunshine continue the first one will be out and over before the regu lar one arrives. The lawns in town are showing signs of growth and in many places the green blades of grass have erown almost an inch. The snow or frost will have little effect now on the growing prass. Tcpeka fans who think the ball club got the worst of it on the schedule should take consolation in the pack age handed Chicago.' The Cubs must travel nearly 15.000 .miles and have nine conflicting dates. A number of young business men of North Topeka have organized a "Loungers' club." Lounging is reserv ed for older business men or retired merchants no young business man should indulge in such an occupation. Dr. Charles Reign Scoville has con sented to speak at a large Christian Endeavor rally to be held in the Audi torium the first Monday in March. An effort will be made by the young peo ple's societies of the city to fill the hall. The "Chamber Of Commerce of the town of Pawhuska, Ok., has written to the secretary of the Topeka Commer cial club to find out if there is a man available in Topeka to take the secre taryship of the Oklahoma organization. There were only thirteen arrests in Topeka for cruelty to animals in the calendar year 1910. This compares most favorably with other years which leads the animal lovers to believe that teamsters and others are more civil ized. The street railway company main tains a landing at Washburn college which to all appearances and effects was designed as a revival of the tor ture racks of old. In slippery weather the wooden gutter-trap is especially dangerous. A large number of Topeka automo bile enthusiasts are in Kansas City this week attending the motor car show in that city. There are now in Topeka about 625 motor cars and the summer season will see at least 100 more added to the list. Spring work on new homes in the city has opened up to a certain extent and many men have been put to work thus reducing the number of idle m Topeka.

MAE Maid Marian: The only greaseless face cream I know of is an almozotn massage cream Jelly, which you can easily pre pare, 83 the ingredients are inexpensive and can be had at any drug store. Dis solve one ounce almozoin in half-pint cold water, then add two teaspoonfuls glycerine, stir well and let stand several liours. Massaging the skin nightly with this removes blackheads, reduces large pores and softens and tones the skin, giv ing it a healthy, ruddy glow. It also cor rects greasy and roughened skins and pre vents and arrests wrinkles. Madam X.: Be frank with your husband end do not try to conceal anything from him. For that scaly condition of the ace, I would suggest a spurmai lotion. This is superior to powder in many ways, easier to apply and dries Quickly, giving the skin a smooth, satiny feeling. You can prepare this lotion at little expense, by dissolving four ounces of spurmaoc in n half-pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Shake well; when cool it is ready. This makes the most reliable and satisfactory skin beautifier of which I know. You can get spurmax in any drug store. Phoebe M. The reason your hair is stringy and hard to manage is because the roots are in a starved condition. I m giving you a recipe for an inexpen sive hair tonic, which, if used regularly, according to simple directions, will cor rect this condition and promote a fine, healthv growth of hair. Get an ounce of nuihzoin from the drug store and dis solve in half-pint alcohol, then add th same quantity of water. Using this nightlv as a scalp massage strengthens the hair roots, and its continued use will give life and luster to the hair. Young Wife: Don't despair. I don't think your husband loves you less, but the condition of your face is jarring to the eye. Your pimply, muddy complexion Is c aused through impurities in the blood, and what you require is a good tonic and nvstem regulator. Get from your drug gist one ounce kardene; dissolve in one half pint alcohol, adding one-half cup sugar, then enough hot water to make full quart. Take a tablespoonful before meals, and you will find it will clear the skin and bring back the rosy blush of flu Advertisement. EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. I know of no better thing to do to day than to cease my own chatterings for once and give over my space to'the irreat man, the anniversary of whose birth was observed last Sunday. !A FEW SAYINGS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. "The way for a young man to rise Is to improve himself in every way he fan, never suspecting that anybody is "hindering him." "With malice toward rone; with Charity for all: with firmness in the right as God gives- us to see the right; let us strive on to finish the work we are in." "You can fool some of the people nil of the time, and al! of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." "Let us have faith thnt right makes might; and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it." "Get them to ploughing and gather ing in their own little crops, and eat ing popcorn at their own firesides, and you can't get them to shoulder a mus ket a cain for half a century", (dis cussing terms of peace). "I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today- than he was yester day." "When I am dead I want my. friends to remember that I always, plucked a thistle and iilanted a rose when in my power." "Broken eggs cannot b mended." (To a woman who came to him to ask a pardon for her brother:) "My THIS WILL QUICKLY MAKE A ROUGH PIMPLY SKIfT SMOOTH AND VELVETY How You Can Make a Pint of Fine Face Cream at Very Little Cost. Beauty experts -say rough, pimply ekins quickly yield to massaging with cerol, becfimlng clear and velvety, and as this costs little and Is easily pre pared, it should find a place on every woman's dresser.

With this use the almozoin massage cream, mentioned in another paragraph, as it removes black heads and other impurities from the pores and makes the skin soft and satiny. Typist: Your increasing weight is. no Just cause for alarm, but if you fear your form is losing its symmetrical lines, and want a fat dissolvent I would suggest the following, which can be had at any drug store and is not expensive: Dissolve four ounces parnotis in 1 pints hot water. Take a tablespoonful of this before each meal, and you will gradually regain your natural weight and contour of form. This parnotis treatment requires no violent ex excise nor dieting and is really quite harmless. Eva: My dear girl! The downy growth on your lip is not so serious a matter, and I would not shun society on that ac count, were I you. You can easily remove the fuzz if you follow these simple in structions: Get an ounce of delatone, and mix enough water with a little to make a thick paste. Cover offending hairs deep ly with this and let remain two or three minutes, then remove and wash the skin carefully. Any druggist can supply dela tone, and while it costs a dollar an ounce, it is worth it, as it does the work, and it is seldom necessary to apply it more than once. Jane: It is anonying to have an itchy scalp, but you can easily correct this and keep it sweet and clean, and in a healthy, vogorous condition if you use a canthrox shampoo. You can prepare this at trifling cost, and any druggist can supply it. One teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a teacup of hot water makes sufficient mix ture for one shampoo. Pouring a little at a time on the head and massaging the scalp vigorously, then rinsing thoroughly, removes dust and dandruff, and adds new life to the scalp and lustre to the hair. With this shampoo the hair dries quickly and is not stringy or hard to do up. Brown Eyes: (1) Before you buy eye glasses try the simple eye tonic I have suggested to others. This is easy to pre pare and quite inexpensive. Buy an ounce of crystOs at the drug store and dissolve in pint of warm water. Drop one or two drops in each eye with a medicine drop per. You will find this removes dust and small particles and soothes the tired, in flamed eye muscles, giving the eye a sparkle and brightness. (2) for a complex ion beautifier read answers to Madame X. Read Mrs. Martyn a Book, "Beauty, $5. poor girl; you have come here with no governor, senator or- member of con gress to. speak in your cause; you seem honest and truthful, and you don't wear hoops, and I'll be .whipped if I don't pardon him." "I have one vote and I shall al ways cast that against-wrong as long as I live." "No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those whotoil up from poverty." "I do not wish to die until the world is better for my having lived." "No man is good enough to govern another man without that other man's consent." "When you can't remove an obstacle plough around it." "A living dog is better than a. dead lion." "If we do right God will be with us. and-if God is with us we cannot ran." "Suspicion and jealousv never did help any man in any situation." Better give your path to the dog even killing the dog would not cure the bite." "This country with its institutions belongs to the people who Inhabit it." All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother." KILLED HIS PLAYMATE. Harrison Lenear Victim of Gun That Wasn't Loaded. Playing with an old armv Springfield rifle which had never been loaded and was out of fix anyway. Wm. Lee Ollie. a colored lad 17 years old, shot and killed his playmate, Harrison Lenear, last even ing. The accident, as it is supposed to have been, happened at the home of Ollie at 116 West Twelfth street. Two other colored boys, Clarence McDowell and Leslie O'Bryant, were in the house at the same time. According to the story of wiutr, mi iour were in ine Kiicnen playing meir mourn narps wnen. lie turned and picked up the gun. "We had always played with the old gun," said Ollie todav. "but I alwavs looked in it to see if it was loaded, "it never had been loaded since we had it and my father told me it would not even snap any more. We boys would pick up the gun and snap it at somebody and he would run. But this time when I pointed it at Harrison, it went off. I pulled the trigf.'er but did not think it would snan. "Ijist night my father told me foe had loaded it for someone he thought would eteai iqq cmcKens. Coroner Keith was not in the city when called to the scene so his partner. Dr. J. M.

Ollie was arrested and is held at the city prison, coroner Keith will call an inquest lor tomorrow morning at So clock. The party given Wednesday by Gov. and Mrs. W.. R. Stubbs, combining, a musical and .social evening, was one of the pleasantest of this season s enter tainments. The hero of the occasion of course, was Mr. Harold Henry of Chicago, who furnished, the program. He gave all the numbers himself, with an intermission of on.lv.a minute or two between them, anrl .at the end -of the program, .whose numbers were marked by technical difficulties, deptn and intensity, .he showed no signs of fatigue His technique, was wonderful and there .was much craning of necks and shifting of position among the au ditors that they might "'see his fuif gers, and they were well worth see ing, too, in action,, as' they had all the beauty of strength and efficiency. One of the most popular numbers of the program was an encore. The Wind, by Alkan. The velocity and perfect finish of the piece were amazing. The last number. also an ,encore, was ;a lullaby by strelenskl, and fss a piece that both the learned and unlearned in musical matters understood and liked. Mr. Henry's partiality to Brahms was attested by his- selection of: threes Brahma numbers for his program. He played all three mover ments of Beethoven's Sonata Op. 103; with technical brilliancy and beauty of tone. The entire program was classi cal and was made up chiefly of the work of the older masters, including Scarlatti,- Chopin and Liszt. Mr. Henry went to Lawrence after the Darty and will return to Topeka Fri day.

Stanley, one of his teachers when he was a boy, were among the guests. The distinc tion of being a much read and much discussed author brought to Mr. Will iam Allen White his share of notice, which Mrs. White shared with him. Mrs. White is attractive and young looking and was becomingly gowned last night in a rose eclored satin trimmed in a yoke of Venetian lace and made with low neck and short sleeves. Mrs. Ella Button Brown of Berkeley, Cal.. who is visiting Mrs., H. O. Garvev. was one of the guests.

A little boy who has been visiting his grandparents in Topeka is one of the busiest persons in the world, tak ing observations on everything in sight. His grandfather is deaf and wears an acoustic to supplement his defective hearing. He has also -been suffering from rheumatism and has had to walk on crutches. One morn ing the boy discovered that his grandfather had left the hearing ap paratus upstairs, and noticing that he had his crutches with him, the pre cocious child announced: "Grand father brought his legs down with him this morning, but he left his ears up stairs." Mrs. John E. Lord entertained the Fillmore Street Whist club this after noon at the Elks club. The June 11 class of Harrison school gave a valentine party at the Gilchrist home, 711 Quincy street. Those who attended were: Edith Switzer, Lillian Fish, Marguerite Ely, Theodora Smith, Edith Stark, Frances Jones, Jessie Gilchrist, Archie Mul linix, James Perry, Ralph Oman, Archibald McKeever, Ira Sturevant and Harry Aldrldge. They say that when a woman brushes the dandruff and lint off a man's coat, it is a sign he belongs to her, and a man who allows himself to be so brushed in a crowd, publicly acknowledges the ownership. It, therefore, behooves a woman to be very careful whose clothes she minis ters to. as she imay find herself in possession of mortgaged property- or perhaps a white elephant.

Water and the alkali found in many, soaps tend to make the hair coarse, brittle and matted. "Many heads are covered thinly with faded hair today because of too much moisture. "Dry shampooing is a common sense, satisfactory method of keeping the hair in condition. It can be done quickly before dressing the hair for any special occasion. Put four ounces of amotone in a jar and mix with it half a pound of corn meal, either white or yellow. Sprinkle a table spoonful of thig mixture on the head once or twice a week and brush thor oughly through the hair. This treat ment makes the hair long, soft and silky, for amotone is one of the best hair growers known, while corn meal removes every particle of dust, oil and dandruff." uiits Fine-thread Sevilla Tor chonsnot linen, but just as pretty as linen laces.

Restrictions Placed Upon Mem bers of Board Fatal. WAS RUSHED THROUGH Passee as the Committee Prepared It. Had Initiative and Referendum Will Probably Pass. HEYBURN BOILS OYER. lie Resents the Imputation of Cow ardice on Part of the Senate. Washington, Feb. 16. That the sen ate is sitting supine and disgracefully inresentf ul, while it is being accused of "crimes blacker than those which occupy the attention of, the criminal courts," was averted in that body to day by Senator Heyburn. The Idaho senator's resentment was aroused by the publication of an ar ticle in a local newspaper saying that only by making it plain tnat he would call an extra session of congress could the president compel the senate to pass the Canadian reciprocity bill. "A charge that any member of this body could be influenced by th crack of the whip is a charge of cowardice." said Mr. Heyburn. "Can we sit silent un der such charges affecting the dignity and honor of the senate." No other senator took up the matter. It now develops that the public utilities)' bill passed by the house so quickly and smoothly Tuesday morn ing of this week in the record break ing time of thirty minutes is not at all satisfactory to the administration. It is said that this house measure is re garded as a farce by the powers that be in administration circles. The re strictions in the way of qualiflcations placed on the members of the propos ed utilities commission are alone enough to invalidate the bill, it is said. The qualification joker is not the only one in the bill. It is declared that it has no teeth. The governor regards the bill as a farce. This news will come as a great sur prise to the administration members of the judiciary committee who en dorsed the bill and fought for its pas sage by the house this week. When Governor Stubbs today was asked about the bill he declined to be quoted. He did not appear,, however, to be particularly elated over the measure as passed by the house. It does not meet his approval. He was not inclined to blame the house mem bers who voted for the bill in good faith, as he said that they did not have time enough in which to consid er the bill and the jokers it contained. It was rushed through iust as the committee had prepared it. It was noted by the newspaper m?n at the time the bill was introduced that its qualification restrictions for members of the commission were ab surd and prohibitive when it came to the selection of a capable commission. But the administration members of the judiciary committee and the lead ers on the floor of the house never "peeped" about this qualification- sec tion and it -slipped through without any debate. The house utilities bill, now re ferred to as a farce by friends and advocates of a real utilities bill, I.as passed the house on third reading and is now beyond recall by that body un less the senate amends it and then gives the house a chance to alter it in conference committee. The status of the initiative and ref erendum resolution was established in the house this morning on a strict party vote when the administration measure by Don Carlos was considered over the motion by Cassin to substitute the minority measure. When the house adjourned at noon today the I. and R. was still under dis cussion. It is hardly rikely tht a vote will be held on this resolution before late in the afternoon session. Of the 71 Republicans in the house 70 voted for the Don Carlos bill,, and one was absent, Davis of Kiowa. Of the 53 Democrats in the house 53 voted for the Cassin resolution. One was ab sent. Lawson of Lincoln. Hines of Scott, Independent, voted with the Democrats. This test vote at the beginning of the struggle over the I. and R. indi cates plainly that the resolution will pass the house in its administration form with minor amendments. In this measure the initiative is fixed at 8 per cent petitions and the referendum at 5 per cent of the voters at last elec tion. In the debate over the Dor. Carlos bill the Democrats sought to amend it along the lines of the Cassin bill. Some few minor amendments in the nature of compromise were allowed by the majority party. The debate was lengthened throughout the morning session in the effort to agree on de tails. ,j The indications are that the I. and A E r,. -a. f-" V5 A 1 1 r. m fx 7.7. IhbiS to. L ff I?. x Tl 1 JX.

R. will pass the house on final roll call vote with little opposllon. the only difference of opinion in the house over the measure being; that between the two parties, each party desiring its own ideas m regard to details to prevail. The Democrats were solid for the Cassin bill and the Republicans for the Don Carlos bill, and there is no material difference between the two measures. The Quindaro glee club and. choral singers sang to some purpose before the legislature Wednesday. Their fund for maintenance was raised by the ways and means committee of the house today from $16,000 per year to $30,000 per year. This increase, how ever, was made necessary in order to increase the number of trades taught at the college, from the present num ber of six to twenty-five. The esti mate for a $28,000 dormitory for. the boys was turned down by the commit tee. Mike Frey of Geary county got his bill relating to garnishment proceed ings through the house today.

Following a dance hall Quarrel at Rossville Tuesday night, Norman White was stabbed nine times with a pocket knife by Ora Porter. After the moonlight fight Porter jumped on his horse and rode away. Warrants have been issued for his arrest on a charge of assault with intent to kill and Sheriff Norton's Rossville and Sliver Lake deputies are scouring the country for the assailant. Both young men are farmers of the Rossville vicinity. The quarrel, ac cording to the story brought to To peka by Preston White, brother of the Injured man, was occasioned by a Rossville girl, who it appears had ac cepted attentions from both men. The immediate cause for trouble came when the. girl unaccompanied left the Fritz dance hall shortly after 12 o'clock. Preston White relates that a number of men in the stairway call ed "Goodby after her repeatedly until she had disappeared. Whether this was an insult or not then became the topic of discussion. Preston White and young Porter's father en gaged in a heated altercation over the quality of the good night calls. Then Norman White and Ora Porter retired to the alley to settle the question. Porter threw his opponent and whipping out a knife, Is alleged to have stabbed and cut White nine times. Two gashes were mads on his head, four stabs in his right nhoulder and three more in his left shoulder. The bloody knife was found in the alley by Clarence McPherson. Josiah McRoberts saw the figrht and it is said several others were there and will be summoned as witnesses. Drs. H. B. and- H. Miller dressed White's wounds and say that he will recover. Porter is known to have spent the rest of Tuesday night at the farm house of Martin. Wharty,' near Silver Lake, but since that time has not been heard of. BUSINESS BLOCK-FLAT. 3 4 M.

New York Says Northern Pacific President Will Succeed Gould. New York, Feb. 16. Howard -Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific rail way, is to be the successor to George J. Gould as the head of the Missouri Pacific System, according to the best information obtainable In New York. It is said the place has been offered him and he will accept. Gould's successor to quote one of the new interests in the road, must "eat, drink and sleep on the job," which is one way of saying if Mr. Elliott becomes president he will be a very busy man." The mention of Mr.' Elliott as the probable successor of George J. Gould was regarded with the greater interest because of the fact which became! known today that when- Mr. Gould ap- predated that his control of the road j was about to be contested he went to James J. Hill and sought his help. Mr. i Hill is said to have considered taking a j hand in the affairs of the Missouri Pa- cific in order to help Mr. Gould, but meanwhile the Kuhn. Loeb Co.-Rock- efeller plans took definite form and Mr. j Hill assumed a neutra1! position, but at the same time approved the change which- has been effected in- the makeup of the Missouri Pacific board.

Thompson, a junk dealer of North Topeka, was arrested last night after a fight in which he is charged with slashing Frank Harris with a knife.

Minneapolis, Feb. 16 Radiant in a deep pir.k kimona of weird oriental design. Mrs. Albert Dundee, formerly Klizabeth Cochrane Seamn, a bride of three weeks, who sixteen years ago be came world famous as the globe trot ting Nellie Bly, vowed a vengeance akin to a Corsican oath in her apart ments at the Carleton hotel when In formed that her husband appeared to be already the husband of another. Dundee., who was a sort of sign painter, 48 years old, got into com munication with the former Nellie Bly through the agency of a matrimonial bureau. Repeated and insistent in clines bv mail as to whether she was possessed of funds brought the in formation that she was Together they came to Minneapolis, stayed a few days at the Hotel Rad tlison at her expense. and then moved to the Carleton. There, after a few days, Dundee, she says, began to pack up. Clandestinely. she asserts, he packed up her goods as well as his. A son in the Philippines had sent her numerous works of native Filipino and Japanese art, rare and costly. In cluded in them were beautifully carved ivory card cases, purses, etc. Moving day was Saturday, and it came without Dundee even saying good-bye. "he says. His trunk remained at-1022 Hawthorn avenue, where he explained, on paying his arrears in room rent with a check given him ty Mrs. Dun dee No. 2, that he was to engage in the moving picture business in St. Paul. "I was lonesome and was coming .to a time in my life when I felt the need of companionship," said Mrs. Dundee, In attempting to explain why she rushed headlong into the alliance. "He Is even illiterate, short of stature and not prepossessing in appearance in any way. He even talks ungrammatically. 1 have had experience with men and I am shocked at myself that I could lie cheated in this way. But I will follow him wherever he goes and see that he is punished. I told him that I had sufficient income for mv own needs and some besides. Part of it comes from my son in the Philip pines." BUILD UP THE ROAD. Si'W President of Missouri Pacific Will Be Progressive. New York, Feb. 16. Pressed by the Rockefeller and Kuhn-Loeb interests, George J. Gould Is shortly to relinquish the presidency of the Missouri Pacfic Railway company, a position in 'which his father. Jay Gould, placed him IS years ago. He will be succeeded by a railroad man. not yet publicly named, who, to ouote one of the new interests, will "eat, drink and sleep on the job." Mr. Gould himself announced his forth coming retirement which will take place Just as soon a-s his successor is chosen.

Commerce Building that new developments mark the passing of the Gould Influence, not onlv in Mis souri Pacific, but in other railroads with which the name of Gould has for so many years been identified. Rumors foreshadowing the change have been current for weeks and more recent developments indicated that a spirited contest was to be waged for control of the stock. Several conferences have been held and with their conclusion, at a time too late to have any effect on the current market, the Gould statement was Issued. It tells not only of George Gould's forthcoming resignation ag president but of the intended simultaneous retirements of the other members of the Gould fac tion and family in the directorate. This puts an end to all probability of a con test. Messrs. Warburg, Marston and Adams will take the places in the directorate now held by Howard Gould. B. C. Clarke and S. F.

Ground will be broken in New York this spring for a $750,000 hotel for sailors. The en terprise, fathered by t the Seamen's Church institute, is the first of its kind in the world. It has received the en dorsement of the Chamber of Com merce and various maritime organiza tions and nearly $500,000 O- the nec essary amount Is already in the hands of the trustees. John D. Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan each giving $50,000. As in most other seaport cities, ac commodations for sailors have been a source of scandal here for years. En actment of various federal statutes to protect the men from designing board ing house keepers has done much to improve their lot, but it is considered by those interested, in their welfare that much more should be done. The hotel will be managed along lines similar to those which have made the Mills hotels in this city self-supporting. HONORED BY BOY SCOUTS Taft and Roosevelt Are Given Compli mentary Positions.

GOES HOME ANGRY Mrs. Lucretia Campbell, Suf fragette, Is Miffed. Woman Oil Magnate Disagrees W ith Other Leaders. SHE WANTS TO QUIT. Thinks Presidental Bill Is Ask ing Too Much. Still Reposes in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Factional strife has sprung up among the equal suffrage advocates and the women have started a war of their own that may rival the David D. Leahy "exposures" before the legis lature adjourns. The trouble came Wednesday when the leaders could not agree on a policy and each faction has with due deliberation resolved to go it alone. Women who read the society col umn will note that Mrs. Lucretia Campbell was not a guest at the after noon tea parties. People who spend their idle hours in legislative halle will also recall that this same Mrs. Campbell is not in her accustomed place-in the lobby. She of the rabbit fur cap has returned to her native clime and will conduct a campaign after the teachings of her own heart. The trouble sprang up early this week when leaders of the suffrage movement discussed the propriety of an insistent plea for the passage of the Hamilton bill allowing women to vote for presidential electors. It was Mrs. Campbell, who suggested tnat when a woman gets enough, she should put on her bonnet, look pleasant and go home. This opinion did not coin cide with one possessed by Mrs. Mar shall, president of the organization; and Mrs. Huffman of Enterprise, Kan. who is also in Topeka in the interest of the suffrage movement. They de clared that if Mrs. Campbell enter tained any such notion, she should practice her doctrine and raturn to Humboldt. Mrs. Campbell returned. In the interval between the conver sation and the returning, Mrs. Camp bell meditated. She would write a letter. She wrote two letters. One was sent to Senator George H. Hodges, the other to Fred Robertson, Demo cratic leaders in the upper house. In these message, Mrs. Campbell stated the situation in no uncertain language. She was scandalized at the ungentle ma nlv action of the legislature and admitted it. Owing to the careful study which the senators have given the Leahy hearing, they have neg lected formalities and the. letters are unanswered. When Mrs. Campbell left Topeka, she withdrew her forces from the field of battle. The Humboldt woman re minded the officers of the association that thev might conduct the campaign according to their joint liking, but with her assistance never. It was when the campaign was in its infancy that Mrs. Lucretia Campbell, the oil magnate of the HumDoiat district, came to Topeka to help or ganize the forces. Reports from fin ancial circles are clear in their state ment that Mrs. Campbell's check on the home bank is good for five figures. The female crude oil manipulator brought her financial rating with her. Also she brought a well defined repu tation as a suffrage worker, that en abled her to enter the A class. She "Made Medicine." After a few preliminary hearings. Mrs. Campbell was assigned to real practice on the legislature. She went to work with a sincerity of purpose that helped land the plum. The Hum boldt woman carried a collection or nice, smooth, easy and convincing conversation that attracted attention even in the legislature where talk is selling below par. She possessed a habit of plucking obstreperous and busy $3 a day law makers from their duties and entertaining them on the sunny side of the suffrage boulder. Her work was not without reward. Sometimes a hardhearted legislator held out. But Mrs. Campbell came back. Perhaps the legislator held out again. If so. it was undoubtedly for as much conversation as might be se cured before the roll call was taken. Each day Mrs. Campbell came to the legislature. Of course, there were oth er women in the lobby and they also worked hard: but somehow Mrs. Campbell seemed to know Just what part of the stage was to receive the attention of the spot light. She made friends. They were not friends for Mrs. Campbell. She wanted votes for equal suffrage. Each week she paid her bill at the hotel from the outout of the oil wells and helped capitalize and float the general plan of operation. While Elizabeth Barr was busy with the editorial column of the Club Mem ber, Lucretia Campbell- was drilling the recruitB. There was no union la bor label on the Humboldt Woman's efforts. When a senator or green mem ber in the house was to be visited, Mrs. Campbell hunted him even, even though the landlady might be late with the dinner dishes as a result of the delay. Everything was running smoothly. The equal suffrage amendment was adopted. The glory was divided and Mrs. Campbell received a chunk as large a a slice of wedding cake. But the Hamilton bill was tied up in that horrid judiciary committee. Gradually some of the women lost their compos ure and made remarks. Mrs. Camp bell chided them. Still things were running nicely. Monday it rained. Somehow. Monday is always a dreary, lonesome and draggy old day when it rains. The suffragettes met as usual. The customary discussion. Remarks about the judiciary committee. Mrs. Campbell again protested. Then the storm. Then the Humboldt oil well owner returned to her home. It is said some hot, briney tears entered into the transaction. Announcement is made that the fight will be carried on. But Mrs. Lucretia Campbell, suffragette, lobbyist, and rich oil magnate is out of the game for keeps. An all afternoon fight was made on the Huffman military bill Wednesday and the lengthy document of the gen tleman from Cherokee county, was cause for some lively discussion. The bill covered a multitude of alleged sins of commission in the present manage ment and the document plugged the holes and put the Kansas militia on a proper equality with the soldiers of other states. Among the important matters which the bill regulated was the pay of com missioned officers, the qualifications of an adjutant general and the annual revenue to the several battalions, field artillery, signal corps and officials who travel afoot and horseback. There were a great many things in the bill to which Senator Cambern. of Neosho county, took keen exception. In fact the Chanute man opened the avenues of thought on the subject and the other members trod in his foot steps. It was in the discussion of this bill that Cambern gave his first public entertainment as a near orator and he plucked flowers from the bill and ana lized them before the awe stricken members and guests in the galleries. Cambern made some stunning speeches. He worked the soft edal for fair and within an hour aroused other mem bers to find fault with the bill. This situation did not please the sandy haired Mr. Huffman and Bald headed Frank Travir of Allen county, came to the rescue of the. bill.- The bill was under inspection nearly three hours and was finally adopted after Cambern and his friends had supervis ed the improvements. AN OPERA BOUFFE. (Continued from Page One.) he would oppose Robert Stone for speaker of the house, Carey said the information had not reached him. Carey is a rabid standpat. Through suggestions by Reed and Brewster, he poured hot shots, into the record, of the adnvnistration. Carey said he support ed Stubbs two years ago and that it was the only political action of his life for which he had been censured in his home district. Carey found an opening and made a speech in which he de clared that Stubbs had made little pro gress with his jobs to legislators, Leahy did not touch the pork barrel. After he had dismissed the witness. Brewster took up the Leahy-White al leged pork barrel. Carey said he knew of no such deal and denied be made a trade to push the Hutchinson fair deal through senate. This was the tone of Carey's testimony and he found many opportunities to drop bricks on the heads of the administration crowd. White Declines to Testify. While Carey was on the stand, the following communication was sent by W. A. White to Richard J. Hopkins, president of the senate: To the President of the Senate: I have the summons of your ser-geant-at-arms to appear before the senate and testify as to matters con tained in a printed statement made by me yesterday. I shall be glad to ap pear before your body when the Kan sas senate by joint or concurrent reso lution is given the authority to sum mon witnesses, take testimony under legal rules of evidence and enforce re plies corroborative of what I might say. But to appear in the guise of a mere conversationalist with no power to compel your members to take the stand, with no power to supply real testimony, might be highly diverting, but would have no real importance in the record of the senate. It occurs to me that the best way to demonstrate the errors, if any were made in my statement above mentioned, would be for the senate to get down to business and redeem the promises made by the Republican platform. W. A. WHITE. Reed Produces a Iietter. When Carey left the stand, the gov ernor's secretary was still in a pleas ant frame of. mind. He called that bald headed, radical reactionary, J. T. Reed, to the box and in the fifteen minutes the Smith Center lawyer was on the stand he spat fire. "You said there was a rumor cur rent in the legislature," asked Leahy, "that jobs were being offered by my self and Governor Stubbs in exchange for support?" "I certainly made that statement," replied Reed.: "Then I ask you to prove it." said Leahy. '5 "Well, bow,"" remarked Reed, "It may not be very good evidence, in fact the only thing I have in my possession Is an anonymous letter, but it is cer tainly no more unreliable than the ar ticles written by the governor's pri vate secretary and a trusted officer of the state." "Let" 9 see the letter," replied Leahy, as he walked to the press table and reached for the paper. Reed then read the following letter, which, he' said, had been received by him Wednesday, following the former Leahy hearing in the senate: Dear Reed: You scared Leahy to death almost when you were examining him in the senate and I don't think you knew it or would keep it up. He told me that night that Brewster and Glenn were like children compared to you and that if you had mentioned one man's name he would die of heart disease. That man. I have learned, is Clif Mat son. It appears that Dolley through Lahey and the Governor got Matson to fight Stone and that he would be made Judge of a new court at Wichita when the bill passed. Lahey person ally carried the promise of the Judge ship to Matson and delivered it to him in the present of Watson and Mercer of the House. When you asked Leahy if the Governor made anv promise of office to a member of the legislature he thought you had him sure. That is the reason he closed his evidence so hurriedly as he feared you would pin him down in the matter It is a pity you did not call Matson, Mercer and Watson. They all run with Lahey and are run by him. Cant you bring Mer cer into it some way. He is easily rat tled and you could break him down. Watson has a cooler head until you make him mad. Laheys dope is cut ting hard among the rabble and it ought to be broke down in some way. A word to the wise from a friend. "Do you mean,1' asked Leahy, as he stood on his toed and glared at Reed, "I say do you assume the atitude of libelling the governor of the state on the information contained in that let ter?" "Now, just you hold on," shouted Reed, "vou asked me to read that let ter. I did it at your own request. The senate can tak it for what it is worth. Now, I ask you to tell the senate if the things contained in tne letter are true?" Leahy replied that he did not know. To this reply, Reed took advantage of an opening and poured poison in the wounds of the administration with the rapidity of a rapid fire gun. "You stated you didn't know or have any suspicion," declared Reed. a he half rose o his feet, "of any member of this senate being guilty of corruotion. Then with a Drazeness, never before equalled in the history nf this state, vou worte that damna ble article blackening the character of everv member of this body, l want to ask "you what do you think of such tactics?" and shook a fat forefinger at the newspaper correspondent as he made the remark. Leahy did not flinch. Insistently the secretary to the gov ernor plied the witness with questions concerning the rumors he had heard. Just as evasively. the witnesses dodged them and pointed to Leahy's weak ness in answering certain questions. Reed said he diinot consider the let ter of great value, and would not ask to introduce it. He then started to put the missive in his pocket. "Here, what are you doing that for?" asked" Leahy; "we want that in evidence." "Oh, vou s hall .have it filed all right," said Reed, as he handed the leter to the stenographer, who mark ed the communication exhibit A. Brewster then asked Reed if he had ON BUYING SIDE.

Reed said he was not certain on the point and the Doniphan county mem ber noted the statement and prepared for the later testimony of Gleen on the subject of the distribution of patron age and pork barrel favors. Motions to adjourn went in the ditch and Senator Stewart was called to the stand by Leahy, who wished to estab lish the Sedgwick county member's connection with corporate interests, which he alleged had brought about a political change of heart. Stewart admitted that he was inter ested in, several corporations. Said he was interested In a railroad scheme still on paper and that for several thousands of dollars invested in the scheme, he would take 50 cents on the dollar. He told of a trip to London in the interest of the affair, but the crowd could not connect the trip with the charges of senatorial graft. Leahy pushed the political convictions of the Wichita senator, who declared that he had never had a change of heart an 3 was the same Republican he had al ways been. "I want to make this statement," declared Stewart, after a series of questions involving his Republicanism. "I was an ardent supporter of Stubbs two years ago. I came here believing the members could manage their own affairs. I found- instead that bills were introduced as party and platform pledges. I was asked to support them and when I. failed, the governor promptly had no use for me and since that time, I have never been an hon ored guest in his office. Men came tD the committee rooms and asked us to recommend favorably bills they had never read. Stubbs was trying to run the legislature and I concluded thac neither Mr. Stubbs nor any other man could control me." JOHN D. HAS A PLAN. May Give FiftT-fourth Street Home aa Site for Baptist Church, New York. Feb. 16. John D. Rockefeller has a plan under consideration for pre senting his Fifty-fourth street home and his adjoining realty holdings as a site for the hew home of the Fifth Avenue Bap tist church, according to the World to day. The trustees of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church have for three years been looking for a suitable site on which to build a church along modern institutional lines, but the committee in charge has failed to make a selection. Mr. Rockefeller has recently purchased a number of plots surrounding his home and it is believed that he is rounding out his holdings so that they may become available for the new church site if the trustees fail to find one more suitable. The Rockefeller house, though very large, is not strictly modern and the owner pre fers his Pocantico Hills estate. It is understood that he will give up his city residence If the church trustees accept certain offers he Is formulating. The plan of Mr. Rockefeller and of Dr. Aked, the pastor, is to make the new church the greatest and most Influential institution of its kind In the world. Bring Va Your BIOS.

AMUSEMENTS. Lyman H. Howe's exhibition at the prand Friday and Saturday is th'i embodiment of moving picture excel lence. It is styled a "Travel Festival" most aptly, because it has a way of transporting yru which leaves nothing to be desired. The new program con sists of magnificent specimens of the brilliantly interesting in itself, but t imparts the dignity of truth. Fur- 18rthermore, each Is interpreted intelli gently by the dialogue and mechanical effects of expert Imitators. "The Traveling Salesman" will be the attraction at the Grand next Mon- dav nieht TVi i i 1 f-r-oa,. 1 mmoilv hv .18cfjames Forbes, author of "The Chorus Ha ma ik u ana xne commuters, nas trd ohm 15Mbeen seen here before, and is pleas- Lady" and "The Commuters," has antiy remembered for the numerous healthy laughs and the charming bits of pathos and sentiment contained in its story. It is not generally known that Law. rence Barrett. James O'Neill. Alexan der Salvini and other distinguished actors sought the acting rights to Gen eral Lew Wallace's great romanci 'Ben-Hur," that they mijrht embody the noble and triumphant Prince of the House of Hur. but such is the fact. IGeneral Wallace refused his consent to the dramatization of his immortal work for many years and turned a Ideaf ear to the pleadings of play- w i isms, managers ana actors alike. But at last he gave permission for the Lromance to become a reality-of the theater and the result has far out stripped the wildest flight of fancy of La-ny of those who had sued in vain for tne Doon. "Ben-Hur" -will be seen at the Grand March 2, 3 and 4. A Iff tH2 mSCELLAHSGUS ABS WANTED SITUATIONS. WANTED Work In small family or tak ing care of sick by middle aged woman; can give reference.

Amount of Wages Paid to Em ployees Is 2,000,000. Other Interesting Facts Regard ing Topeka's Big Asset. A census just taken by the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway shows that at this time nearly 5,000 people, are employed in Topeka. On the entire system of 11,000 miles or railway al most 70,000. people are employed by the road. This shows that one-fourteenth of the entire payroll of the great Santa Fe is distributed in Topeka. The pay roll in Topeka amounts to nearly $270. 000 a month. These statistics have Just been com pleted by the road and they furnish most interestin- material for the stud ent of economy and the importance of the big western railroad to the states and cities through which It operates. The people of Topeka have known always that the Santa Fe was the leading- factor -in the growth and import ance of the city. When they realize that nearly 5,000 people are employed by the road here., that the payroll is almost $170,000 a month or more than. $2,000,000 a year? thaw the Santa Fe investment in this city reaches up Into the millions aud that improvements amounting to almost three-quarters of a million dollars were made here in the year 1910, the real 'ace of this big corporation in Topeka will be granted a place equaled by none.
