Practically the Entire Force of 20,000 Under Orders Is Now En Route for Texas and California. IT IS LIKE CLOCKWORK Washington Is Highly Gratified "With .he MoTement. The Troops Are All Equipped With Ball Cartridges. Washington, March 8. Telegrams are pouring into the headquarters of the army showing that the movement cf troops to the southern frontier of the country is proceeding with the smoothness and regularity of clock work. More than one hundred telegrams nlreadv have been received and the c.leritv with which the orders have been carried out, it is said in military quarters would give the impression that the movement was an every day occurrence. Pranticallv the entire force of 20,000 men is now en route to the lower part of Texas and California. The troops are equipped with ball cartridges, al though it is the invariable practice to nimilv troons with blank ammunition for practice exercises or peaceful ma neuvers. jotwitnstanains mis, ever, official Washington still main tains that the movement is merely a plan of practice to determine the ef ficiency of the arms of the country in mobilizing on short notice. While this is held to be true, technically the gen eral impression prevails that the sud den and extensive military activity has a vital and direct relation to the rev olutionary movement in Mexico. The reticence of official of the state, war and navy department is accentuat ing this impression. The idea, which is generally accepted even in the face of the official pronouncement that no to-Tiiflfanfe should he attached to the movement is that the government of the United States is preparing lor an eventuality that may develop with the progress of the revolt against .rresi- The orders to the troops stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., have ae dieted that nost and the war depart ment today ordered one battalion of the second infantry at Fort Assinniboine, Mont., to Fort D. A. Russell, to care fnr that station. This was the only additional order for the movement of soldiers issued today by Uenerai leon nrd Wood, chief of staff of the army. The navy department continued its r.renaration for the dispatch of the fifth division of the Atlantic fleet and the large detachment of marines to Ouantanamo. Cuba. The four armored cruisers of the lifth fl'vislon, under Rear Admiral Staunton, are being supplied with their full complement of blue jackets. There were some vacancies in the personnel of the division when the orders were issued to the vessels, 48 hours ago. They are being filled promptly from the enli3ted force of the navy. First to Move. New York, March 8. All branches of the military and naval service in New York and vicinity today gave ample evidence that there would be speedy compliance with the mobiliza tion orders which reached them so un expectedly yesterday. First to re spond with an actual movement, per haps because of being first warned, a force of 200 marines was assembled at an early hour in the marine barracks at the Brooklyn navy yard ready for transfer to Jersey City and entrain ment for Philadelphia where they will Join the force of marines en route for Ouantanamo, Cuba. The transport Dixie got away from the navy yard shortly before 9 o'clock and started for League Island, where, it is expect ed, she will be utilized for the con veyance of part of the marine detach ment to southern waters. Down the bay, coal was still being niled at a great rate into the armored cruiser fleet, the Tennessee, Montana and the North Carolina, but it was hardlv expected they could complete the coaling operation in time to get awav betore tonignt. At the headquarters of the army Department ot the .fc-ast. on Gover nor's Island, from which department 2.500 coast artillerymen will be util ized as infantry in the Texas opera tions, it was said this morning that no marching orders had followed yes terday's instructions to have men in readiness for instant movement south. Preparations, however, are at an ad vanced stage and orders for a start in the mobilization movement were ex pected at any time. First of the naval detachment to get av ay was the range ship Lebanon, which put to sea early this forenoon. Other units of the fleet division which besides the armored cruisers are the supply ships Celtic and Culgoa, the hospital ship Solace, the repair ship Pnther and the naval tenders Patapsco, .Fatauxent and Yankton were expected to get away at any time. Marines to Cnba. Philadelphia, -March 8. Seven hun dred marines equipped for any ser vice will sail south from the Philadel phia navy yard late this afternoon on transport Prairie, and will be fol lowed by a like number tomorrow on the transport Dixie. The order from Washington com manding the marines to mobilize in this city gives the destination of the two transports as Guantanamo, Cuba, but many believe that these orders may be changed and that the marines may be landed at a Texas port and sent overland to the Mexican border to take part in the service practice eoon to be inaugurated there. If the marines go to Cuba they will arrive about the time the Atlantic fleet departs from Hampton Roads for spring practice. The marines who will gall on the Dixie tomorrow are arriving here to day from Norfolk, Annapolis, New York and other marine centers along the Atlantic coast. Nearly all of the detachment carried hy the Prairie will be from the Philadelphia navy yard. Denial in England. London. March 8. The mobilization of the American army at the Mexican frontier has excited great interest among London politicians and in commercial circles, but all are still in the dark as to whether the move ment is for political or purely mili tary reasons. The foreign office de nied that the British government sug gested the action taken by Wash ington but these officials speak in such diplomatic terms that their statements are not necessarily con vincing. There is little doubt expressed by the public and the newspapers that the po litical situation in Mexico caused Pres ident Taft's strong move but it is ques tioned whether this government had any share in the" matter. So far as any extension of the power of the Uni ted States on the American continent is concerned it is doubtful that such an outcome would be popular with the Jtmtisti public. The talk of the future annexation of Canada has created a prejudice on this side and this preju Qice is Just as strong against the po litical expansion of the. United States generally at the present moment. Dealing in American securities today Indicated that the stock exchange did not consider that the general security of the country was seriously threaten ed. Mexican bonds remained unchang ed as did Southern railway shares. Mexican railway securities ordinary fell points, first preferred 1 and second preferred 1. These always have been of a speculative character. Mexican National railway shares which dropped several points recently fell off today. Much Speculation In Wasj.Ligton. Washington. March 8. Whether or not the concentration of a fourth of the standing army of the United States along the Mexican border and the mov ing of a portion of the navy south ward along both sea coasts merely is an extensive maneuver, many persons here familiar with political conditions in Mexico regard the action of the United States at this particular time as likely to have an important bear ing on future events in Mexico Persistent reports have reached this city that a chunge in the cabinet of President Diaz soon will be made and the state department also has been so informed unofficially. In these changes the American government is keenly in terested. Apart from any moral effect on the treatment accorded American interests in the present disorders it is suggested that the military demon stration of the United States, whether so intended or not, may have a poten tial influence on the political crisis in Mexico City. Senor Limantour, Mexican minister of finance, who is now In New York is slated for the post of minister of foreign affairs. He has long been rec ognized as an advisor in whom Presi dent Diaz placed much reliance. Seno De La Barra, the Mexican ambassador, will confer with Senor Limantour in New York today.- The purpose of the conference has led to much speculation and it is believed the political turbu lence In Mexico, especially Senor Lim antour's plans for restoring the repub lic to civil as well as political tran quility, will be discussed. Senor De La Barra had intended to go to New York last night but changed his plans and left at 9 o'clock today. Before leaving here he declared that the mobilization of troops by the United States along the Mexican border was not interpreted bv his country as thiocerutiiier fHtepwen cion. tie declared -Mexico was able to cope with its local disorders. .tarty today three batteries of field artillery left Fort Myer, Va,. for San Antonio, Tex. Officers at the fort ad mitted the store of provisions and am munition taken along was larger than that carried on former maneuvers. Coast Artillery Starts. Mobile, March 8. With Major Bur gess in command three companies o? coast artillery from Fort Morgan de parted today for Galveston, Tex. The men were provided with full field equipment and ten days' rations. Two troops trains with the soldiers from Forts McPherson, Ga.; Oglethorpe, Ga., and Fort Moultre, S. C, passed through here today. Leavenworth Troops Are Ready. Leavenworth, Kan., March 8. All local preliminaries have been com pleted for the movement oZ the 1,200 men in the Thirteenth infantry and Third battalion of engineers, ordered to San Antonio. Tex., but command ing officers at Fort Leavenworth were unable to state this morning Just when the troops would entrain. It was expected, however, that the troops, with their equipment, would leave here late this afternoon. Annapolis Marines. Baltimore, March 8. A body of ma rines numbering 137, in command of Lieutenant B. B. Lee, left Annapolis this morning for Philadelphia, where they are under orders to board the transport Dixie for Cuba. At Forts Howard and McHenry, the artillery posts comprising the Balti more district, all is In readiness to dis patch troops to the south on short no tice. One company from each fort has prepared for the service. Cruiser Des Moines Ordered Out. Boston, March 8. Major Robert H. Rolfe, depot quartermaster for the United States army in New England received orders this forenoon to pro ceed at once to Texas and report to Major General Carter for service as chief quartermaster of one of the brig ades in the field. The cruiser Des Moines, which ar rived a few days ago at the Boston navy yards under orders to go out of commission, was today directed by the navy department to sail for southern waters on Friday. Limantour AVon't Talk. New York, March 8. Jose Ives Lim antour. Mexican nvnister of finance, who reached here last night from France, where he negotiated a $50,000, 000 Mexican bond sale, today sent word that he could not be seen, nor would he have anything to say. Senor De La Barrel, the Mexican am bassador aL Washington, is due here this afternoon and will Join in confer ence with Senor Limantour on the Mexican situation. Can't Get Cars. Indianapolis, March 8. With haver sacks packed and everything ready as If for war the Tenth infantry station ed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, is be ing delayed in its departure for Fort Sam Houston today by failure to get sufficient railroad transportation. It is not expected to get the last section away from the fort until this after noon. The Tenth, under Col. H. A. Green, was ready to start last night but when it was learned that transportation had not been had until today, many sol diers were given city leave and came to Indianapolis. Mexican Minister Is Annoyed. London, March 8. Miguel Covarru bias, Mexican minister to Great Britain, was deeply interested in the news of the American mobilization. (Continued on Page Eight.) LAST STEP TAKEN Kansas Will Hare a State Tuber culosis Hospital. Appropriation of Fifty Thousand Dollars Made. Y0TE 0SBILL ONE SIDED Only Eight Members of the House Opposed. Measure Had Previously Passed the Senate. Kansas is to have a state sanatorium for the care of tuberculosis patients and for the prevention of the spread of this dread disease. The action of the house today in passing the senate bill providing for this institution is the culmination of the campaign started in this state nearly three years ago against the white plague. The bill car ries with it an appropriation of $50,000. Dr. Goddard of- Leavenworth ex plained the bill to the house today and made a powerful argument in support of the measure. Thj doctor declared that tuberculosis had its origin in an cient times and that this germ was destined to never die. That it had caused more deaths and woe than wars and pestilence. "You can control it," he said, "in this state by the erection and support of this sanatorium. It has been demonstrated that 90 per cent of the incipient cases of tuberculosis can be absolutely cured by proper treat ment." Allen of Wyandotte also made an eloquent plea for the measure. A map showing the death rate in the state during 1908 and 1909 from tuberculosis by means of black-headed tacks stuck in the counties, a tack for every death. was on exhibition in the house today and the members crowded up to see it. The western members commented with satisfaction on the few tacks in th western counties. Many of the south western counties had no tacks at all. Wyandotte, Shawnee, Sedgwick and Montgomery led in the order named In number of tacks. On roll call the bill passed, 92 to 8. The bill provides that the sanatorium shall be under control of a board to be appointed by the governor consist ing of four physicians and one homeopathic physician and the secre tary of the board of health. This board shall select the location of the new institution. Fair, of Rice county, replying to Boyd in. regard to the latter's attack on the militia. anDronriation said: 'The revision of the military law or the state of Kansas, is needed for the reason that the war department, 1907, notified the adjutant general that un less the military code was changed to meet the requirements, Kansas would be barred from participating in the two million dollars appropriated an nually. Kansas receives from the gov ernment between sixty and seventy thousand dollars annually. It would be the height of folly for this legislature to fail to revise our present statutes, especially when the revision will create no new offices or make any serious changes in our present law. The change suggested, is to make the state law conform to the regulations now in ef fect in the war department." Fair asked Boyd if he received any extra salary than that provided by statutes, which is $900 per year, when he was assistant adjutant general un der Fox. Boyd said, "No." Fair then proceeded to prove that Boyd received an average yearly salary of $1,635.38, itemized list as follows: Extra work in state arsenal.. 438.59 Recruiting service. 721.78 Reorganizing companies 230.45 Typewriting rules and regula tions 112. uu Visiting and inspecting com panies 80.00 Salary for two years 1800.00 Total for two years $3270.76 Average yearly salary, $1,635.38. The bill providing for a school of mines and metallurgy for Weir, Cher okee county, and appropriating $25, 000 for the school, passed the house this morning by a vote of 66 to 44. The measure had already passed the senate and now only awaits the gov ernor's signature to become a law. The principal purpose of said school of mines shall be to teach such branches in mining and metallurgy, as will give a fair technical knowledge of mines and mining, and all sub jects pertaining thereto, including physics and mining, engineering, mathematics, chemistry, geology, min erology, metallurgy, the subject of shop work and drawing, the technical knowledge and properties of mine gases, assaying, surveying, drafting of maps and plans, and such other sub jects pertaining to mining engineering, as may add to the safety and econo mical operation of mines within this state. When the militia bill providing for appropriations for the adjutant gen eral's office and the national guard of the state, came before the house Tuesday night, there was a fight or ganized on the measure and that old veteran. Boyd of Republic, led the at tack. The bill was laid over and will come up under special orders tonight at 8 o'clock. Fair of Rice defended the bill. Boyd, in his speech, declared that the national guard waa composed of "tin soldiers." He pointed out the great increase in appropriations for the guard the past ten years and the increase In expenses in the adjutant's office since he had served there. Fair corrected Boyd's figures espec ially relating to the salary the old soldier had received while he was in the executive office. The Garden City and Concordia Normal members, smarting under the defeat of their bill earlier In the day, pointed to the $90,000 appropriation in the militia bill' and then sneered at the members who had preached economy vwhen the normal bills were up for considera tion. On the other hand the national guardsmen had friends on the floor of the house to present their side of the case and show the necessity for the state keeping its militia in a high state of efficiency. An interesting fight may be expected tonight when, the bill comes up for consideration. NOW IT IS A GO. House Also Accepts the Utilities Bill. Members Then Sing My Country Tis of Thee. The house this afternoon adopted the report of the conference committee on the utilities bill by the overwhelming vote of 100 to 15. The bill now goes to the governor for his signature. The changes in the bill as reported out of conference last Saturday were slight. Matson of Sedgwick, chairman of the house conference committee. took the floor and explained tha changes made in the bill in committee. Many questions were asked by the members and answered by the Wich ita lawyer. Davis of Kiowa, who had opposed the reconsideration of the bill by the house, declared himself as in favor of the bill in its present form, al though it did not come so nearly to meeting his views as did the original house bill. There was no debate over the meas ure. After the explanations by Matson and the short talk by Davis of Kiowa the roll was called on the bill, only Bentley, Brown of Butler, Burke, Cain, Davenport, Jackson, Kelley, Keraus, Mahuri'. Maloy, O'Connor, Schlichter, Stne of Sherman, Veatch, Wilson of Marshall voted in the nega tive. Some of the members explained their votes by declaring that there was a Bell telephone joker in the bill, in serted by the conference committee in regard to connections with centrals. Hines, Independent, declared that the bill fell only a little short of be ing no bill at all, but he said he voted for it such as it was. Mulroy voted yea, with the under standing that the Democratic legisla ture would mend the defects In the bill two years hence. Afer the adoption of the report 20 or 30 members gathered around the speaker's desk and, made the walls resound with "My Country "Tis of Thee." HANDS ONE TO STUBBS. Calderhead Wires Tiirt Reply to Gov ernor of Kansas. Washington, March 8.- An inter esting sequel to the recent fight in congress over the matter of increased postage on magazines and periodicals developed at the White House, when former Representative Calderhead of Kansas showed President Taft an ex change of telegrams between himself and Governor Stubbs of Kansas. Governor Stubbs telegraphed to Mr. Calderhead in part as follows: "I am advised upon excellent au thority that the proposed Increase in second class postage is aimed directly at progressive magazines and period icals; that the rates proposed are con fiscatory and will practically rum every popular periodical in the coun try and wil therefore deprive the peo ple of their only free press." Mr. Calderhead sent the following tart reply: "Dear Governor: Your message is at hand and as usual you are wrong. The congress of the United States Is not the enemy of the people and the freedom of the press is not in danger. I wish you would get some correct in formation. DOG CASE IS SETTLED. Grocer Agrees to Pay Heirs of Woman $1,000. The $12,000 damage suit brought for Martha L. Schmidt, who was bitten by a doe and died five months later, against A. C. Whittelsey, grocer and owner of the dog, was settled for $1,000 this morning. The trial of the case came to an abrurit end when the attorneys agreed upon a proposition. The lawyers had angled for some settlement throughout the trial but not until the defense had gotten down their line of evidence to their medical testimony, could one be effected. The plaintiff had proven that the doe bit Mrs. Schmidt but the defense. by hospital records and doctor's tes timony, were about to show that some thing a great deal more serious than a dog bite had caused the woman's death. The 10-year-old daughter of Mrs. Schmidt, Stella Schmidt, will receive the benefits of the settlement after the lawyers get their share. The defend ants pay the costs of the case. UNCLE JOE TOO BUSY. He Refuses an Offer- of $500 a Night to Lecture. Washington. March 8. "Five nun dred dollars a night for 100 nights' was an offer telegraphed from A- west ern lyceum bureau to Representative Cannon of Illinois, the retiring speaker nf tha house. "Too busy," was in substance the reply telegraphed back by Mr. Can non. The offer prescribed that Mr. Cannon could name his own speaking dates on the circuit. SOX iITnAMED AS GUARDIAN. Wm. M. May Found to Re an Habitual Drunkard. William M. May, owner of the Ohio house, was found to be an habitual drunkard and in need of a guardian bv a probate court jury Jast evening. Judee Schoch appointed Amos May, a son. as guardian.

Weather Indications. Chicago, March 8. Kansas Gen erally fair tonight and Thursday moderate temperatures. r SENATEJAKES IT. One Sided Tote on Acceptance of the Utilities Report. Members Said Was Best to Be Had Now. POINT OUT JOKERS. Senators Declare Provisions Are Unconstitutional. tTill Work Hardship on Mutual Telephone Companies. After a 45 minutes' argument, the senate this morning adopted the sec ond conference report on the public utilities bill. The vote was 35 to 8. Strenuous objection was made by Sen ator Carey to cutting out the physical valuation of utilities. Other members filed objections and many who voted for the adoption of the report, ex plained their position and set out the weakness of the measure. The report did not create enthusi asm even among the most ardent ad ministration members, who last Satur day fiercely objected to the adoption of the former conference renort and forced the house to meet them in the appointment ef a new committee. However, they preferred a nartial vic tory rather than nothine at all and they lined up solidily for the report or me new committee. Only Senators Lower, Milligan and Reed voted against the report. Carey voted against tne report, Dut changed from "no to yes and explained his position. It was Carey who attacked the re port and said that the state was doing a great injustice to innumerable mu tual telephone companies over the state, as under the provisions of the act, as now reported, that these com panies, each having from 300 to 500 subscribers, could not force a connec tion with the Bell Telephone company and destroyed the chances of building up their business and reaching the city patrons. He urged that the bill had been prepared in the interests of the lobby and that the measure was un fair and unjust. Senator Brewster, a member of the second conference committee defend ed the bill. He said it was not all the state should have or might ex pect, but that it was the best to be had at this time. He pointed out that the cutting out of the physical con nection clause referred only to com panies which were not under the su pervision of the utilities commission and that it was not fair to compel companies which were brought -under the provision or the acfto' meet the concerns which escaped the inspection of the board. He pointed to the large amount of work done by former com mittees and paid tribute to their ef forts. Brewster went into the history of the efforts to secure a good utilities bill and said that if there were sec tions of the bill which did not meet the approval of the supreme court, that it would be much easier to call the legislature together to fix these sections than to call a special session for the purpose of drafting an entirely new measure. Cambern and Stannard both en dorsed the bill and said it was the best thing possible at this session. They said there were several points which they might desire changed, but that they preferred to let the bill go through rather than endanger the final passage at this session of so important a measure. Senator Stavely declared that he would vote for the bill, although he believed that the original provisions should be retained in the document. He said that this provision affected more people in Kansas than did the previsions governing the regulation of the railroads and that tne former com mittee by a vote of 6 to 1, voted to keep it there. I consider this bill much weaker, declared Stavely, who has worked on the bill throughout the session, "than when it was reported on this floor last Saturday morning. I consider the new provisions of section 25 unconstitu tional. The administration made a mistake when it opposed the report last week, but I do not believe in mak ing a further mistake by refusing to pass a bill at this session." Then Stavely said he had tried to in ject the very sections In the bill which the administration demanded, but that he had been voted down by the house conferees. Since then he had found supreme court decisions which made unconstitutional any provision wmcn gave discriminatory power to an ad ministrative body. Many of the senators explained their votes when the roll was caned ana these were universally that the bill was weak and needed fixing. There was a verv general opinion that the adminis tration had not helped matters when it took the bill away from the former conference committee and injected matter according to its own liking and the dictation of the governor. Senator Price objected to cutting out the physical connection clause as he said it would weaken the bill and re sult disastrously to the mutual tele phone companies and beneficially to the Boll company as Its lobby had de sired and demanded. He said the con stitutional'ty of the bill waa stricken at when the committee placed arbitrary nower in the. hands of an administra tive body This, he believed, was not to the knowledge of many members who were voting for the MIL Then th .shland man injected his deep sarcasm and said he wanted the bill put away for at least two years, in order that 't would not be an issue in the campaign for the United States senatorship much, as he said, to the disappointment of the administration. Then Price voted for the bill. Robertson, of the minority, urged that the mutual telephone companies would criticise the legislature severely ior Its action. Stewart said the bill had been made much worse in the hands of the last conference committ" bv its unwarranted interference. He preferred to vote for the bill in prefer ence to having the administration do ing greater 'amage by again mixing in the affair. Every member of the senate except Lower. Milligan and Reed voted for the adoption of the report. Caldwell did not vote on the projjosition and Chapman is absent for the session. The house deferred action on the re port until it received news of the ac tion of the senate. The senate this mornina- slaughtered the bill by Representative Hyer pro viding for the removal of public offi cials in cities of the second class. There was little debate over the duj. which passed the house some days ago. Someone moved to strike out the enar-.tinir j-laiisn and this sentiment seemed to meet general approval. The bill provided for the ouster oi aereuci officials on the presentation of peti tions signed by 25 per cent of the total vote of tha last city election. According to a change made in the criminal laws this morning, persons charged with first degree murder are not admissible to baiL The old law nrnvirift1 that nnrannA rh&reed with capital offense should not be admitted to ball. This change is to prevent mis oonstruction of the statutes, which do not provide for capital punishment. The conference committee on the workmen's compensation act had been unable to agree at noon today. This committee seems doomed to about as much trouble as that which befell the recent conferees on the utilities .bill. The present committee Is the second appointed to adjust the provisions of the measure. Trouble started last week when Senator Reed offered a substitute for the entire bUl, providing that a commission should be ap pointed to take charge of the matter. make investigations and make a report at the 1913 session of tne legislature, Friends of the bill objected strenu- miKlv to this move and a compromise in the senate was effected whereby the bill passed the upper house witn an amendment calling for nine mem bers of a commission to Investigate the workings of the law in other states and foreign countries. This would not destroy the working of the act while the commission was busy looking up statistics. The house refused to con cur in the agreement. A conference committee was appointed. Again the house declined. The senate met them artu annolnted a second committee. Now the committee is tieo up wmi mo Job of making a bill that will De ac eptable to Dotn nouses. FISHER IS A GOLFER.

There were two thousand fewer "bad" boys and girls in New York City during the last year than in the previous twelve months, according to the annual report of the children's court. The decrease In the number of Juvenile delinquents is from 11,494 to 9,491. and includes a tailing ort in an varieties or juvenile crime. Only two per cent of all the trans gressors were girls.

DIDS'T CLEAR IT UP. Conference With Revenue Col lector Without Results. He Still Refuses to Mate Statement. On a train somewhere east of St. Louis, Miss Cloe Matteson Is today hur rying to Washington to lay before President William H. Taft her charges against Fremont Lejdy, Internal reve nue collector for Kansas. The senate postmistress left over the Rock Island Monday afternoon almost immediately following the consultation with Mr. Leidy. Attempts at reconciliation over the alleged existence of a marriage contract failed. Now the plucky little woman threatens to ruin the man whom she helped land a government appointment. For more than fifteen minutes the young woman sat in the waiting room at the depot. Her tears of the morn ing had cleared and there was nothing on the calendar but clear weather in dications. She discussed her troubles freely. She told of her past, her struggles for existence, her triumphs and her sorrows. Each time her con versation drifted back to the Leidy courtship how he made love, his promises and her dreams of a happy future. Then the eventful day when her lover told her that he had wed another. "You Just don't know what it means to me," exclaimed Miss Matteson, "you Just don't know. He seemed so aw fully good, so kind and considerate He didn't smoke, or chew, or drink and he was so refined. He had so many good characteristics that most men don't possess that a woman just had to like him. He was awfully good to me when he was in the sen ate two years ago, too, and we were together a great deal. Worked for Appointment. "Then after the session adjourned, he came to see me often. When he couldn't come regularly, he wrote. We made several trips together. Last April he proposed and I accepted. He was trying to get that appointment and asked me to help him. Mr. Bris-. tow was against him. But. I had some Influential friends, who endorsed Mr. Leidy and he was appointed, although I- am told that .Mr. Brfertow protested against the appointment. Now. he wants him ousted and I understand that Mr. Curtis isn't very, friendly either. Of course I am interested in the matter. I don't want to do Mr.. Leidy an injustice. Neither do I want to do myself a wrong. I believe my friends who were deceived in the" mat ter should be set right. That is why am making the trip." Here Miss Matteson told' of her preparations for the wedding. Of course we planned quite an elaborate affair," said the Kansas City woman, "and I had announced our en gagement In the Kansas City papers. l oougnt my wedding clothes. Soma of the lace cost as much as $25 a yard. It was real imported lace and I was, Oh, so proud and happy. Then Mr. Leidy received hi? appointment. He came to see me and we had a jolly time. Two weeks later he came back and told me that the engagement must be broken. He said that he had been married ten months. He asked me to give him $300 to 'fix' the wedding. I refused. That is the last I remember of the visit. I fainted f'ead away and was unconscious for seven days. "My health seemed almost broken after that and I went to a sanitarium.

Lost Life's Savings. Then the woman told of her efforts to help float an investment company in Kansas City, how it was attacked by the newspapers and she lost $3,500, her life's savings. "Newspapers are just the most heartless and wretched things there are," declared the little woman who vows she will have nothing to do with any publication, good, bad or Indiffer ent. "It as this publicity that ruined me several years ago. I don't know how I will bear this, but now it is printed. I want them to tell the truth." Miss Matteson leans to literary work, although she expresses a decided dis like to publicity of certain brands. Shfl claims she has written a book, which she will have p xblished and is going abroad for this purpose. Freemont Leidy, to whom the wo man claims to have been engaged, spent the day in Topeka. Throughout his visit he refused to make a statement for publication. He said ha did not know what steps the woman would take to stop the confirmation of his appointment. Aside from admitting having written the woman several "foolish" letters, he will not discuss any of the charges which she made to members of the state legislature and which have been furnished to United States Senators Charles Curtis and Joseph Bristow. It is generally under stood that Bristow would move heaven and earth to drop Leidy from the gov ernment pay rolL Until lately, it is said, that Curtis has upheld the for mer Butler county state senator, but that letters furnished him by Miss Mat teson have weakened his position and persons who are close to the, situation claim that the Topeka senator will not urge Leidy's confirmation.

Clemency was denied the slayer by the state supreme court. An opinion by Judge Kennish, concurred in by Judge Ferris and Judge Brown, affirms the judgment of the Jackson county criminal court.

Tersatility Imperatite Because of Batsmen's Tricks. A Powerful Arm lis Necessary for long Pegs. One of the oldest and most experi enced third basemen in the major league is Steinfeldt of the Chicago Cubs. Although he may not be a reg ular after this year, for the reason that he seemed to be losing his grip last fall In the world's series Steinreldt knows how to explain the intricacies of play at his corner of the diamond, and when asked recently to give his views he said: "The first thing a third baseman must have to be successful is a good pair of hands. By this I mean hands that can stop heavy line drives and hot ground balls. The drives on the ground from the batsmen down the third base line between the fielder and the bag are the most difficult ones to handle, while the liners always have an out ward curve and lots of momentum be cause the hitters usually meet a curved ball before the break or slam a slow one. "The third baseman must have nerve as well as powerful hands, together with a strong throwing arm. If his hands are soft soma of these solid smashes may go through and Injure him. He must be heavy enough and have sufficient stamina to get in the way of such drives and must be suf ficiently steady on his pins to prevent base runners rounding the bag from knocking him off his balance. Good Arm a Requisite. '"If he doesn't possess a powerful throwing arm he will not remain a regular for any great length of time, for the reason that he must knock down hot drives and get them over to first ahead of fast base runners. Tou oan't expect a third baseman to pick up cleanly as many drives as a second baseman, for he hasn't the same amount of time to get sat and is In a far different position. He Is much nearer the home plate nnd Is directly in the range of cannon shots that are pulled around toward him by the bats men's swing. "It is out of the question to fan back behind the base line unless a third baseman knows the hitter isn't going to bunt, something that cannot be an ticipated in a modern ball game. It is necessary to watch the batsman, baao runners and coaches very closely to get onto a signal before the ball leaves the pitchers hand. He must also keep "in eye on his own battery to know what kind of a ball is to be served to the batsman. The moment he sees a bunt ed ball rolling in his direction he must come in at top speed and field it' to first base as quickly as possible, in many instances he must make a hasty throw and trust to luck. "The ability of batsmen to either bunt or poke a ball toward left field has increased the difficulties of third base play. It Is seldom that a third baseman can stand back as far as 95 feet from the home plate and in a ma jority of plays hi must take a position at least 80 feet from the hitter, where he Is always taking desperate chances. This makes it hard for him to cover any great amount of ground, as he has little or no time to move In either di Worlds of Good at This Point ROOT JDTCE BEXNO PRAISED BY MANY. Root Juice has done much good in this locality and is doing worlds of good all over the country. Reports of cures are being circulated from every direction, and at the local agency many have testified to the great good which they have received from a few bottles of the health-promoting Juice. A well known lady said: "I used to bloat so at times I could hardly get my breath; sour gases would form in my stomach, and dull, heavy head aches were at times so bad I felt I would go crazy; my tongue coated and I always had a bad taste In my mouth. My hands and feet were cold at times and at other times thev would burn like fire, but, thank my good stars, lifter hearing so much good about Root Juloe, I went to the drug store in a bought a bottle of it, and after using the first bottle I went back and bought two more bottles I have used It all and don't think I will need any mors, as I feel as well as I ever did in my life." Root Juice is good for any trouble f the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, as it heals and tones those srgans to a healthy action.

'For this reason the study of bats men becomes an Important factor and all third basemen to be successful should watch the bittern and signals closely. My advice is to try to discover what kind of a ball the pitcher intends to deliver. Always keep an eye on the catcher when runners are on second or third, because a steal may draw a throw at any moment, and a third baseman who misses a thrown oau generally lets in a run. Never fail to cover the base when a runner slides into it and, if possible, keep the runner wide as he rounds the base, sometimes a slight bump by the baseman will make a runner go out of his path ana thereby lose enough ground to be caught at the plate wnen ne tries io score from second on a safe hit. 'I am not an advocate of foul tactics or rough ball, but I think it is legal to hold as much territory as the rules permit and to prevent a base runner from cutting across Inside of the bag." HOLLAND SELLING SURPLUS. Watson and Goodrich to Go Tierney Looks Good. St. Joseph, March 8. If a deal now hanging fire is closed between Mana ger Holland of the Drummers and the Oklahoma City club of the Texas league, Harry Watson, pitcher, and Henry Goodrich, outfielder, will be sold to that club under option. The fact that Holland is well stock ed with both pitchers and gardeners is responsible for this action in the case of both men. Watson is but a youngster and although he has the making of a good pitcher, Holland wants him to spend another season in Class B company. As for outfielders, the Drummers will have plenty of material just as soon as the infield positions are settled. Both Kelly and Lowthers, the players secured from the Joplin club of the Western asso ciation, have played the outfield and are said to be valuable men in the landscape district. With these two and Zwilllng, Powell and McChesney, all known quantities, the St. Joseph manager is sure of a fast trio of fly chasers. Dan M. Tierney, the infielder se cured by Manager Holland from New York city, is only a youngster but he comes to the Drummers with the rep utation of being a fast thinker and player. Tierney played last year with semi-professional clubs in and around New York city and has had a number of years experience in college ball. He wag a member of the all-star team that played against the Athletics in the practice series last fall. He is 22 years old and tips the scales at 175 pounds. He is a left handed hitter but uses his right meat hook to throw. CARDINALS "FIGHTING" WATER- A New Beverage But Bresnahan Says Take It. West Baden, Ind., March 8. With "Lengthy" Loudermilk, the human pennant pole, leading, Roger Bresna han and his cardinal squad invaded this place and at once began an attack on the water. From what was done today and what Chief Roger said this is the main object of the trip here, and warfare on the water is to be to the bitter end. In fact, the natives are beginning to entertain fears that what has made this place famous from one end of this country to the other, the health-giving water from the springs, will prove inadequate to sup ply Bresnahan's thirsty crowd with all that it can absorb. Bresnahan's orders today were for everyone in the party, including war correspondents, to begin getting the water inside, and he not only set a good example by disposing of a quantity somewhat lescs than a hogs head himself, but stayed around to see that the othera followed his example. Most of the men have been here be fore, and they showed that they were well broken in by downing the stuff as though they like it. The others tried to look cheerful, but made wry faces when the boss was not looking. Then they were consoled by the cheer ful information that they would get used to it before long, and consider the water as attractive as a beverage some of them are considerably more familiar with.

Bout Was Fierce and Fast and Exciting. 10WAN WAS FAVORED. Cheering Crowd Yelled When He Broke the Lion's Hold. Hackenschmidt Balks on liandi- icaps Wants to Finish. Jess Westergaard won his handicap wrestling match with George Hacken schmidt last night after an hour of nerce Dattle. Hackenschmidt, who naa agreed to gain two falls in i hour, failed even of one. j.ne most skeptical of those who had cried frame-up, after seeing the two tugging, sweat! nor rtnts writhn on the mat for an hour, could only cunuuue mat tney had been mistaken. Many times the Russian Lion crowded or pried Westergaard's back within a few Inches of the floor whon he would snap the hold or bridge his back while Hackenschmidt threw his 212 pounds upon him in a vain at tempt to break it down. Twice, wheeling suddenly when they were on their feet, the mighty Rus sian seized his adversary in a head lock and flipped him over his should er, but, with the quickness of a cat, Westergaard was un and hp ho. fore Hackenschmidt could claim his advantage. The early part of the bout Vent tha wrestlers on their feet uuie. as tney charsred. went to the mat and bounded up again during the early periods. WeBtertraarri was often on the aggressive. Later he was more contented tn defanri him self. The timekeeoer announced tVi eiapse or time every five minutes and eacn announcement spurred Hacken Schmidt to redoubled efforts. westergaard showed his from or, dous strength early by breaking the Russian's half Nelsons and by the strength of his neck withstanding the powerful attempts to push his head onto the floor. When forced to the defensive, Hackenschmidt in slashed Westergaard's holds and bar iocks witn a jerk of his head or limbs. -ine airrerent build of the two wrestlers served to increase the inter est in their work. Hackenschmidt, ciose-coupiea and weighing 212 pounds is only five feet, eis-hr an rr- half inches tall and probably the most powertuny developed man on earth. He was much stronger on th irrrmnri plan than Westergaard, who weighing i-iu puunas is six leet, one and one- half Inches tall. The advan nacKenscnmiat s stronger legs was not apparent last night.

H. Gavellas. Was- onger, Okla., as well as many others, telling about the wonderful results they have secured in the cure of their stomach and liver troubles by the use oi ur. uaiaweii's syrup Pepsin. This remedy, as all readers doubtless know, has been before the public for a generation and is now being more ex tensively used than any other remedy ior stomach, liver and bowel com plaints. According to reliable testi mony, it seems to be a very quick and lasting cure for constipation, indiges tion and dyspepsia, liver trouble, bil iousness, headaches, sour stomach, gas on the stomach, drowsiness after eating and similar disorders. It is a liquid with tonic effect, and so mild and gen tle in action that a child as well as h grown person can take it, in fact, it has no equal for children, women and old people. It arouses the flow of gastric juice, and by a peculiar action trains the stomach and bowel muscles to again do their work naturally, and in time medi cines of all kinds can be dispensed with. A free sample bottle can be had for trial by sending your address to the doctor, for in this way Mrs. Gas kins, Mr. Gavellas and many others first learned of the cure. Later, when satisfied It is the remedy you need, do as others are doing and buy it of your druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle.

The audience began to cheer and yell and ask in derision what. Gotch would do? By a quick catch, he got a firm half Nelson and was slowly prying Westergaard to the mat. Westergaard hrideed and Hack jumped upon him -but could not break nim down and the Iowan, loosening holds, flipped himself free while the crowd yelled exettedly. in ear the close of the first half hour. Hack in hoping to earn one fall before his time was half gone pushed the bout to a fast gait. He had his man near the mat again, but could not force him down, Westergaard saving nimseir Dy clamping Hack's head. When he escaped this call, the crowd went wild. In another tan minutes there was little light under-Westergaard's back and again he broke a terrific -hold and sprang to his feet. Waltzing each other around the. ring. Hack wheeled quickly, catching his man by the head and tossing him over his shoulder. Westergaard struck hard, but was up and away before Hack could nail him. ihe strain was telling on the young er man while Hackenschmidt was still going at a terrific rate. There was not a second of idle time. The Iowan was in danger repeatedly, but always got away by a concerted effort. When 5 5 minutes were called ana no fall had been gained there was pandemonium in the audience. Taunts about Gotch fired the Russian to fu rious attempts to tumble his oppon ent. Far the last four minutes of the match, Hackenschmidt held Wester gaard in a single position vainly try ing to force him over with a half Nelson and crotch. With a head and leg hold, Westergaard held his own. The two men clung to the last, Hack enschmidt hoping to outlast his op ponent in a steady test of strength and Westergaard knowing his success depended upon just a few more mo ments of grit and will. Westergaard Is Pleased. Westereaard was elated with his achievement and showed it with a wide and gladsome smile as he stepped out before the audience, which cneerea nim wildly. I want to say that Hackenschmidt is the best man I ever wrestled. He kept me on the defensive almost the whole of the time," he began. Can he throw Gotch?" yelled a cnorus. "Oh, I do not claim to be in Gotch s Class. no cuum ijul 11 n w v-a m"-. But what I would like to see would be a match between Hackenschmidt and Gotch." In his dressing room, the big Sweee sank down into a chair with a great sigh of relief. He rubbed his neck. That fellow's a bear. He gave my neck an awful hard night. And he's a hard worker. He don't give any time to breathe and he's stout as a bull, he said contentedly. 'But I thought I -ould stop mm. When I met him In Denver, I went risrht. out from Aberdeen. South Da kota, and zero weather, in uenver n was hot and the altitude got me. My stomach went back on me and I couldn't put up a fight. But Hack Is trettine better right along. I used to break his holds but I can't do it now He's the strongest man I ever met. Hackenschmidt Excited. Hackenschmidt was plainly agitated by the taunts of the audience concern-inn- notch.; On the mat he rushed matters in fury when they cried that Gotch would pin him in a minute. In his dressing room ne saia excited ly in his Russian accent: "Thev veil about Gotch. Why don't Gotch come out' and meet me. If he can throw me in sucn easy iasnion, why don't he come on. If he thought he could do it, he would run out in a hurry. But he don't, tie nas agreeu to meet me many times but he doesn't show un at the scratch. Why don't Vi n mpft me? "I didn't throw Westergaard. He is a good wrestler. He is as big a man as I am but I had him almost gone many times tonight. It takes time. If T rould finish my match I would put "I am not a scientific man. I could wear him out. I am not tired. I would .iii r-n.ther stav on the mat to a fin ish than leave in this way. It is not satisfactory. -Tist nierht I didn't sleep a wink ,tri nil nie'it from Chicago to Kan sas City. Today I tried to sleep but had an important engagement and could not. I didn't know until I got to Kansas City who I was to wrestle here. My manager maxes tnese maicu es without asking me. I want finish matches. This is not satisfactory. "If I come back here I want you to insist on a finish match. That is the right way." s The feature of the preliminary matches was the work of Roy Spear, a former K. U. football player, now employed as a civil engineer in a To peka factory, in his bout with Joe Wood, a wrestler of experience in the west. Spear won two successive falls, the first in 14 minutes and the second in minutes. The second match was more spec tacular. Referee Abbott introduced one of the men as Scott, late of England, and the second as Ed Trotty of Tope ka Trotty took the first fall in iVz minutes. Then the Englishman took two straights, both after some fast and exciting work. The first fall took 4 minutes and the second 5 minutes and 20 seconds. As a third preliminary and entertain ment the Great Southern quartette of three male and one female colored sing ers sang several selections. This fea ture made a hit with the spectators and brought repeated encores. Spencer Arthur Abbott, as referee, handled himself in so nimble a manner over the mat that not a muscle quiv er! hut what he saw it.

We believed this because we knew Rheuma tism to be a blood disease, and the ingredients and composition ofS.S.S. we knew made it an unequalled blood purifier. This claim was a wFr?Se&on ?r mi Today we say "S. S. S. ,.V tu'" "no accomplished; bone out by the unsought testimonials of thousands of persons who nave cure themselves ha don tor so many others ft recommend it to every Rheumatic Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, anCk while it is a disease which may be inherited, the great majority of cases are acquired as the result of irregularities of the system. The principal causes of the disease are constipation,- weak kidneys, and indigestion, or improper assimilation of food. These internal disturbances of the system prevent the proper removal of the bodily waste and refuse matter, which souring in the intestines forms a urate salt which passes into the blood. The fermented acid destroys a portion of the healthful properties of the circulation, and changes the blood from a rich, nour ishing stream to a thin, acrid fluid which deposits its sharp, uratic impurities into the joints, muscles and nerves, causing the pain and soreness of tendons and flesh which always comes with Rheumatism. T.he dan2ef of Rheumatism is in temporizing in the treatment, or in failing to realize the powerful nature of the trouble. If the blood is allowed to remain infected with the uric acid, Rheumatism soon becomes chronic, and then if not checked it sometimes makes complete physical wrecks of its victims by permanently stiffening the joints and seriously micuciiug wim me Doauy nerve force. An important thing to re member in the treatment of Rheumatism is, that while ex ternal applications will often relieve the acute pain of the trouble, such treatment cannot reach the blood. These meas ures should never be depended on alone to produce permanent good results. YOU CANNOT GET RID OF RHEUMATISM UNTIL YOU PURIFY YOUR BLOOD. S. S. S. goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by removing every particle of the uratic matter, and Duiiaing up the blood to a health ful condition, this medicine destroys the cause and cures Rheumatism permanently. When S. S.

Illinois paid $1,640,000 in the year for its com bined institution, with 30 more students than Kansas had in both institutions, and the taxpayers paid $194 a student to educate them. Ohio paid $932,000 last year for its combined university and agricultural college, but it educated only 3,275 stud ents, or 1,333 fewer than Kansas, al though the amount spent on the in stitutions in the two states was about the same. Briefly, it cost Ohio $191 to yducate a student, whereas Kansas tFP&id $138 a student. California, with its agricultural col lege and university combined, had 864 fewer students than Kansas. The cost of this education in California, for the combined institutions was $1,625,000, or nearly double the ens in Kansas, and It cost California $330 a student. The combined university and agri cultural college in Wisconsin cost that state $1,771,000, but it educated only 4.947 students, and they cost $311 a head.

This Question Bothers Officers of the Pullman Company. HAVE TO PAY FARE? But if Employees Work Only 16 Hours a' Day. Other Items of General Inter est in Traffic World. Denver, Colo., March 8. Within two weeks' time the Pullman Palace Car company will have to decide whether it will hereafter designate its conductors and porters as employees or passengers. That was the rumor that has reached Denver and caused the railroad operatives to do a lot of talking and speculating. It appears that the Interstate Com merce commission has given the sleeping car company two weeks in which to make answer in a suit now before them in which this demand has been made. An interesting bit of gossip is that some of the railroads are back of the prosecution. If the company elects to declare the con ductors and porters trainmen then they will come under the operation of the 16-hour law. That is. they will not have to work longer than 16 hours in any One day. If the company electa that the men are passengers, then the railroads will proceed to collect fares for them. This would be very painful to the great corporation that George Pullman built, one of the best dividend payers in the world. If it is decided that the men are employees, then the run will be cut down to divisions, just aa are the runs on railroads. At present the conduc tors and porters sometimes are on duty 36 hours at a time. A man who works that long is quite likely to be disagreeable, so the public at least will gain something by the decision, if it goes that way. If they elect to pay fares for the men, then it is like ly the old system will continue. It is probable that the company has enough efficiency" expert knowledge of the two systems to decide which will be the more profitable. E. E. Clark, a member of the Inter state commission, is a veteran railroad conductor. In fact, he was for years head of the Order of Railroad Con ductors, and largely responsible for its standing. Of his personal knowledge he probably knows of conditions among the Pullman employees or pp.ssengers whatever the gentlemen who always tell a lone man traveler that the lowers are all gone may here after be designated. FOR ROCK ISLAND EFFICIENCY Tlie Committee That Will Visit All Di vision Oflices. A committee has bei?h appointed to visit the division offifces of the Rock Island lines to conduct an investiga tion to develop suggestions and plans to attempt to recognize and eliminate unnecessary work and, in addition, look toward the standardization of of fice forces and methods and rearrange ment of quarters to permit concentra tion of heads of departments with a view to eliminating unnecessary cor respondence and other similar matters. The investigations are not to be in the way of criticisms, but of assistance. One of the important questions will be the determination of some satisfac tory plan of furnishing superintendents with prompt and necessary informa tion regarding their expenses. The committee will make several trips, probably covering a district on each trip. It is hoped in this way to get the best of all methods for the benefit of those who may not be using them. The committee appointed follows: LeRoy Kramer, assistant to second vice president, chairman; F. D. Reed, assistant to vice president; L. K. Luff, auditor disbursements; E. S. Gentle, district accountant; F. J. Easley, su perintendent. THE PERSONAL RECORD BUREAU Rock Island Will Look Up History of Men Employed by Lines. A personal record bureau has been established on the Rock Island lines in conjunction with the pension bureau. A former Cedar Rapids man, W. B. Ross, is secretary. The personal record bureau is a system by which the record of each man employed by the road In various departments will be kept to give the officials a thorough knowledge of the ability and capacity of each employee. It is of great benefit in determining promotions and putting the employees on a pension list. All the officials are required to keep a record of the character and length of service of those now in the employ or hereafter employed by the com pany. They are required to investigate the record of applicants for employ ment with foreign lines and system of fices and to report the information ob tained to the employing officer. They are required to concentrate the present record of such employees as are speci fied in the rules and regulations, re gardless of the number of times or at what point the individual has been in the service of the company. The co operation of employing officers and the heads of departments with the per sonal record bureau will enable the department to insure the most satis factory results in keeping the records of the men, making promotions and granting pensions. WICHITA TO HUTCHINSON ROAD Intemrban Line Will Follow Route of Santa Fe. Hutchinson. Kan.. March 8. Assur ance was given by officials of the Wichita Interurban Railway company that the line will be extended to Hutchinson, through Burrton, running along the south, side of the Santa Fe line. This announcement, the first definite official statement that the interurban company proposes to build to Hutch inson, was made by O. A. Boyle, gen eral manager of the company. They expect to cross the Santa Fe at a cut. just east of Mission. They will elevate their track to cross the Santa Fe twenty-three feet above the rails. This is the only crossing that they will make on the Santa Fe. The junction will be probably about one mile south of Mission. The road will run directly west from the junction to Halstead, thence west on the south side of the Santa Fe right of way to Hutchinson. They to run cars into Newton by BELL WONT STOP KXVGIXG. Block System Signal a Continual Jingle for Two weeks. Iola, March 8. At the junction of JNorth First street and the Missouri Pacific railway there is a post bearing one of the block system signal bells which railroads now use to give warn ingof an approaching train. A good many people who did not know the bell was there are painfully aware of the fact by this time. About two weeks ago it started to ring very suddenly. Pedestrians and others who had occasion to cross the track looked in every direction for an approaching train, but none appeared. Still the bell kept ringing. The people living in the neighborhood are now willing' to give written testimonials as to the efficiency of the block system. But it won't stop. Even now, -after two weeks, it still rings on. ELLIOTT REFUSES AT LAST. Settles All Controversy on Presidency of Missouri Pacific. St. Louis, March 8. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific rail road, has wired his refusal to accept the presidency of the Missouri Pacific railroad to a committee of New York men representing the controlling in terests in the roal. Since Sunday night he had been in consultation with leading St. Louis financiers, all of whom importuned him to avail himself of the new posi tion. Hotel Was Not Hisl Enough. R. S. Davis, a prominent Kansas City railroad man, who recently was in Chicago,' had occasion to learn about high hotel rates, says the Bill of Lad ing. Davis, so the story goes, went into one of the largest hotels of that city and put his name on the register. Then he inquired the price of rooms. "All up to the tenth floor," said the clerk, "are $12 per day from the tenth to the twentieth, $10, and from the twentieth to the twenty-fourth, $7.50." "Well, I guess I won't stay here," said Davis. "Why. are the" rates too high?" in quired the clerk. "No, but the hotel building isn't high enough," replied Davis. RAILWAY NOTES. The Santa Fe's report of earnings for January made another good show ing. The gross was $8,528,000, or an in crease of $344,000 over the gross in the corresponding month last year, while the operating expenses and taxes de creased by a small amount.

The Frisco has opened to the world a new section of Texas, and one which is the equal of almost any in the state for productiveness and diversity of products. The new territory lies in Mc Culloch and Menard counties and is watered by the San Saba river and other streams. The engine lent last week to the Pennsylvania railroad by the Norfolk Western for the purpose of testing its capacity has hauled a train of 85 loaded steel cars over the low grade of the middle division of the Pennsyl vania. This train was the heaviest ever hauled over the' Pennsylvania by one engine". It Is of mallet compound type. If continued tests prove as suc cessful the railroad expects to pur chase a number of engines of this class. Eugene Mack has been appointed general freight agent of the Midland Valley. The Sunset Western, a Santa Fe Cal ifornia extension, it is reported, has grading work under way on an exten sion from Fellows, Cal., north about two miles.. St. Joseph is planning to spend $1, 000.000 for a new union depot. Within a few days the Rock Island is planning to open its new freight house in Kansas City, which has been in process of construction for several months. The new building cost $100, 000. It fronts on Wyoming street, be tween Twelfth and Fourteenth streets. The building will be used for out bound freight and team tracks have been arranged to afford excellent dray age facilities. This structure will form an addition to a larger building to be erected during the summer at a cost of $750,000. As a result of negotiations lasting six weeks the Canadian Pacific rail way announces a wage increase to em ployees amounting to more than $1,- 000,000 a year. The employees princi pally affected are the passenger ana freight conduotors and brakemen. Telegraphers of the Illinois Central road are dissatisfied with the increase obtained by arbitration about 12 months ago and have asked for a fur ther increase. The Santa Fe has inaugurated- an other department, which promises to become not only popular, but a big saving to the company; and that Is me stationery department on wheels. In other words, a car loaded with sta tionery, and In charge of an expert, is to make a tour of the Santa Fe sys tem, dispensing stationery to the dif ferent offices, stations and other estab lishments of the company.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The' news la received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. April showers bring forth May flow ers. But what's the result when the April showers come along during the first part of March? Another sure sign of spring. The metropolitan newspapers have begun to insert their 'Ink. green and" other colored sporting pages. Some people will be sure to see a special significance in the winning' of a hammer contest at Oxford by a Rhodes scholar from Kansas. So Edward Payson Weston's walking trips across the continent are not to go unrewarded. Several prominent New Yorkers are going to give him a din ner on March 15. Now that Manuel, former king of Portugal, has been granted a rather magnificent allowance by his native land, he has become infatuated with another Parisian actress. William Jennings Bryan has an nounced emphatically that he will nev er again be a candidate for the presi dency. Still conditions might eo 6hape themselves, etc., etc. Tod Sloan, the American Jockey, who has been living in Europe for a num ber of years, ought to take to avia tion like a duck does to water. He's been a high-flier for years. A new "Men and Religion Move ment" has been started. Whafs be come of that laymen's missionary movement that was going to evange lize the whole world in a Jiffy? All of the pitchers in the major and minor baseball leagues are reported to be in wonderful physical condition and form these days when it isn't particu larly necessary that they should be. This is where Missouri has one on Kansas. The corncob pipe crop in the "show me" state was worth $450,418 in 1910. But, then, Kansas hasn't a crop of any kind that isn't worth more than that. An aged New York broker lost nego tiable securities of the value of $100,000 the other day. The fact that any man lias that much wealth to lose in a lump is what gives this Item of news come importance. How many clergymen or men in ether activities are there, who, like IDr. Aked of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church of New York city, would find their work disappointing when it car ried with it a salary of $12,000 a year? Bud Mars is different from moat of tho aviators who have stuck to the flying game for any lengthy period. He got a gold medal the other day.

Senator Lorlmer was given a most enthusiastic reception on his return to Chicago.

In asmuch, though, as they would proba bly substitute something much worse. it will probably be well to worry along with the senate for a little while yet. Recent reports from Mexico are to the effect that there has been severe fighting in the sections where the rey olution is rife.

Lady Tennessee Claflin Cook would open the churches and public halls to young men and girls for. the purposes of lovemaking. She blames the lack, of opportunity for young people to be come acquainted for most of the un happy niarriages. It is easy to see that Lady Cook is making a bid, for popularity with the young folk. Extensive preparations are being made by the Democratic members, who will have control of the next house of representatives, for the transaction of business In that branch of the national legislature. But before they get along very far they'll be sure to stumble up against the cold, hard fact that the gulf between fine theories and prac- j Uce is wide and deep. Still, their good intentions are worthy of commenda tion. BAIXJXGEK'S RESIGNATION. Well, the Ballinger controversy has been settled, and there is great re joicing, no doubt, among a few more or less distinguished patriots. Norm Hapgood, Gift Pinchot, Jimmy Gar field et al. Mr. Ballinger's resignation of the portfolio of secretary of the interior was scarcely unexpected. No man in public life has been so fiercely attack ed during the past quarter-century as he has been, and in the main more unjustly. It is small wonder that he Is in failing health. In' fact the crusade that has been waged against Ballinger is unparal leled in the history of this nation. Be cause he differed in opinion from sev eral of the more ardent of the con servationists as to the methods that should be pursued in conserving the natural resources of the nation; be cause he believed It Improper to go beyond existing laws in the adminis tration of the many important matters concerning the publio domain which came within his Jurisdiction, he was maligned, slandered and traduced in a most shameful fashion. In the long drawn out investigation of his con duct while in office there was not a particle of evidence produced to show that Mr. Ballinger had committed a wrong act while he was secretary of interior, even though some of the testimony at this investigation has been analysed as tending so to prove by those who were Interested in prov ing a case against Ballinger. His chief accuser, Gifford Pinchot, deliv ered himself of lengthy addresses as to what he was going to prove against Ballinger, but he never produced the proof. He never got beyond general izations. He and the rest of them in league with him against Ballinger seemed to have gotten it into their heads that Ballinger was a crdok be cause he was opposed to some of their peculiarly fine conservation theories, but their efforts to make a specific case out against him fell with a dull thud. The fact that President Taft stood firm and fast by Ballinger to the very end is a sufficient guarantee for most people that Ballinger was more sin ned against than sinning. No one be lieves that William Howard Taft would have been so loyal to Ballinger had the latter been guilty of any thing that savored of wrong-doing or malfeasance in office. And the presi dent's excoriation of the anti-Balling- er crowd Is no more than deserved. This Ballinger affair has been a re grettable episode in the Taft adminis tration. Regardless of its injustice, it has hurt the reputation of the ad ministration with that large class of people who are eager and willing to Jump at conclusions and believe every thing that is placed before their eyes by "reformers" little and big. But the whole thing is over now and the sooner it is forgotten the better. It has not been without its benefit, eith er. It has brought forcibly to the front how totally inadequate have been many of the existing laws rela tive to the exploitation of the valuable mineral lands, water power sites, et cetera, in the public domain, and has likely quickened the day when ade quate laws to deal in the best possible way with these problems will be placed on the statute books. -RATE DECISION WAS BEST. Even the big financial Interests in Wall street are now of the opinion that the decision of the interstate commerce commission in the freight rate cases was the best one that could have been delivered in the premises, even if it did knock down prices for the time being, at any rate, in the stock market. In a. further analysis of this decision. Henry -lews, the New York banker, who had been predicting all along that the de cision of the commerce commission would be favorable to the railroads, had this to say in his current weekly financial review: 'Time has been given for the finan cial community to recover its equilib rium after shock of the decision of the interstate commerce commission. Only railroad managers showed any serious perturbation. Our great bankers en tirely ignored this factor in the placing of their new flotations, thus proving that they did not regard the decision as in any degree affecting the credit ot the railroads. The truth is the rail roads failed to prove their case, and no injustice was done them by the com rission; since, if present conditions are proved to be unworkable, they will have full opportunity for a rehearing after further trial of present rates. Many of the railroads are reporting liberal gross earnings, and there is li'-tle doubt that by means of economy they will be able to continue satis factory net results. The stronger roads, which are in the majority, seem likely to go on as usual with projected im provements. Some of the weaker lines are already beginning to economize and defer improvements. The effect of the decision was certainly disappoint ing to managers and also to concerns hich furnish the railroads' supplies, but there is no doubt whatever that the decision of the commission will ultimately exert a wholesome and necessary restraint upon recent busi ness tendencies. Had the railroads succeeded in making their advances. Increased demands from labor would have followed, wholesalers and retailers would have been obliged to charge higher prices to meet increased freight bills, and the whole effect would have been to still further elevata prices and increase the cost of living. In other words, we would simply be continuing the ridiculous process of lifting our selves by means or our boot straps; a tendency that has much to do with re cent derangement ana came near creating a serious crisis by placing the United States upon a level dangerously higher than foreign countries. Of late the tendency has been for a reduced cost of living. Food products have especially declined and many other commodities, notably iron and steel, have been on the downward grade. Bradstreefs index figure dropped from 9.23 in January, 1910, to 8.07 in Feb ruary, 1911. This declining tendency seems likely to continue owing to quiet trade and restraint upon speculation. But had railroad rates been increased a movement in the other direction might have been expected, for we would certainly have had a temporary period of. increased activity which, however, would have proved more In the nature of an intoxicant than a genuine recovery."

I used to hang around where he worked Just to get to look at him, and asked nothing better than that he would occasionally speak to me, and he always did. This great man of my child ish. years has been gathered to his fathers these number of years, but I often think or him. I don't know what the other fellows who knew him think about it. but I have a steady faith in the idea that he now has a better berth than a lot of fellows who made it a practice to go to church Sunday and" get up at every revival and give in testimony.

KANSAS comment THE PROSPEROUS WEST. j Whatever -may be! the condition of business in the centers of trade and industry in this country and there are those who look upon the situation with some misgivings at times one section has a real prosperity. The country beween the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi river never had so solid a basis for its financial condi tion as it has today. The merest .in spection from c Pullman car window gives evidence that cannot be dis counted. Nearly every town is show ing evidence of improvement in new buildings, paved streets and an air of contentment. Much of the savings of the past decade has gone into permanent im provements. Indeed, this has been one of the reasons for the shortage of money in the western states. 'It should be remembered that when a new building is constructed practi cally all of the material is shipped in, the labor perhaps covers twenty five per cent of the cost and there is a profit on the material, but at least fifty per cent of the cost of every new structure in a new state has gone out into other communities to buy raw material itself. This in the aggregate means a tremendous amount of mon ey and the rapid improvements of farms and towns has resulted in an exceedingly large demand. Most of this has come out of the deposit accounts, or it has been bor rowed. In either event, the material for which it was spent ia on the ground and stands as a permanent in vestment that adds to the worth of western property and the appear ance of western communities. The boom spirit has broken out here and there, but In general it has been a steady and natural growth, with very little increase in population in all the older settled sections. This latter fact has a broad bearing upon the pros perity of western communities. The fact that wealth is Increasing so rapidly and population standing practically still, means that the per capita of property is steadily increas ing and the average citizen has more property as his portion than ever be fore in the west's history. The in come from the farms has been so di versified that there has been very lit tle variation one year from another regardless of the failure of some in dividual crop. This of itself has a strengthening effect and means that the western states will continue to make a regular progress and grad ually heap up a large surplus in their savings account. It is in every respect a real pros perity and one that impresses every visitor who crosses the prairie states. Abilene Reflector. GET OUT OF DOORS. There is nothing like the pure fresh air and sunlight to give vigor to body and mind. Many person make a great mistake in remaining indoors and broil ing themselves to death all winter be sides the redhot stove. They are mor tally afraid of catching a cold. The parents imagine that it is their duty to keep the children in the house con tinuously as soon as frost sears the leaves, and to see that the doors and windows are closed and next to air tight, day and night. The parents want healthy and robust children; but they employ entirely the wrong method. Let the children -and vervbody else, have all the Hf e-iyjng ozone of the outdoor air possible. The country ipeo ple have this -inestimable advantage over city people, and they ought to be wise enough to make the best use of it. The fresh air is Just as necessary in winter as it is In summer. Troy Chief. FROM 07 HER PENS THE HOG SERENE. Consider for a moment the hog. The hog is nature's sedative. He Is the antithesis of excitement and the anesthetic of worry. When frayed nerves cry out in protest, and the tired brain aches with a surfeit of care or pleasure, go then to the hum ble pig sty and learn a lesson or repose. What does the farmer do when the hired man gives notice,' or grasshoppers threaten to take the up per eighty? He heads for the hog lot; and, with his elbows on the top rail and one foot In an intermediate crack, he watches the swine at their evening meal till his soul finds peace. As a preventive of nervous prostra tion, a sanitarium, compared to a hog, is a riot and the seashore is an insurrection. His peaceful grunt is a lullaby to tortured ears, and his placid oblivion of the flight of time is a rebuke to the strenuous. As he pokes his nose into the moist earth never furiously, but with calm and quiet and upturns the succulent roots that he may add weight to his hams and breadth to his spare ribs, to the ultimate profit of the butcher. we are reminded of the futility of crying out against the fate for which we are being fattened and taught to bow the head in humility. Reach over the top of the fence and scratch his bristly back with a raspy cob and his legs, unable to support his excess burden of pleasure, crumble beneath him, and he sinks to sleep, singing song of contentment that rumbles forth from cavernous depths. His humble limitations have not made the hog a pessimist. On the contrary, he Is your true optimist. Kansas City Star. EDUCATED DOMESTIC SERVICE, The Housekeepers' Alliance at Washington has been studying the servant girl problem for two years, and now declares it has solved it. The alliance finds it is ignorance, not lazi ness, that is at the bottom of the ex isting troubles. It is, therefore, pro posed to give servants adequate train ing. and establish, a uniform wage scale and regular hours, and thus put these servants on the same basis with skilled workers. This Is., a sensible idea. Educated housekeeping or kitchen work is Just as necessary as educated engineering or law practice or military service, Trusting the Joys of home -to ignor ance is a deplorable policy. There is one thing in the way of this purpose, which may disappear when ignorance departs, and that is calling these household employees servants. There is no need to speculate upon this term. Everybody can understand the philosophy of the situation. Educa tion will remove it, or the "servant." There is another thing to be observ ed, and that is the beau business. We heard two women talking about it on the trolley the other day. One said she was much pestered by the beaux; that ever since Kate had one she- was only half account; but the other add ed, "Oh, the beau business doesn"t bother me at all I fix the fire, lock up the cake, go to bed. and let em court till they get tired." But that doesn't solve the difficulty. Ohio State Journal. THE NEW STENOGRAPHER.

This whole proceedine of manufac turing lurid tales of bloody battles and constant federal slaughters in' Mexico has been a continuing outrage on the Mexican government, which for many years has been one of the most order ly, economical, and progressive of tho western hemisphere. The government nas Deen singularly free from eraft: the modest federal revenues have been devoted to works of great public util ity, and there has been a persistent ef fort both to diversify and enlarge na tive industries and to Introduce new ones from abroad. It is a bold untruth to proclaim that there Is anw serious percentage of the people, outside of the old-time bandits and professional revolutionists whom President Diaz put out of business years ago, who are dissatisfied with the Diaz administration. The whole present petty disturbance is purely the result of the obsession of young Ma dero, a resident of the capital city, who became fired with the notion that he Was a bigger man than Diaz, but who mustered only a handful of votes, and hence resorted to the defunct remedy of stirring up two classes of disturbers of the peaces the one the survivors of tho old freebooting bands, and the other the illiterates, who accept what comes to them by word of mouth as a new gospel of adventure. You will note that throughout the 1,500 miles of Mexico's extension there is peace and good order, except on the United States border, where maraud ers, fugitives from justice, and Ameri can trouble breeders are alike inter ested and combined In the work of conducting a fake revolution by lurid press dispatches, 99 per cent subjective, built on a pinch of fact and report. This so-called revolution Is but a recrudescence of an old-time evil that of outlaws taking refuge in the moun tains and issuing thence in bands to prey upon the industrious. There Is this difference, that the leader has funds of his own and presumably those of men who hope to be rewarded by fat concessions, and while the handful of men "in the field" comprises abodt all the well known bandits and mur derers not previously captured, strict orders were issued against the stealing of even a box of matches, the men be ing notified that there was money to be distributed to pay for what was needed; so the movement has not yet reched the stage of a freebooters' campaign. We were, in the midst of the fighting force pretty poor fighters and they treated us like honest men, who, for the time at least, were not obliged to -live off the country. Since then the alleged fighting has been re ceding rapidly northward, until there Is nothing left of it except the Texas dis patches of frightful blood letting on the south side of the Rio Grande. Madero and his dupes are not en titled either to the sympathy of the American people or to the use of the transborder territory of the United States as a base for flea-biting the Diaz administration. The whole fool ish disturbance ought to come to an end forthwith.-G. W. Dithridge, in letter to New York Times. Ellis Island Divorces. There are now four women at Ellis Island who are threatened with depor tation because their husbands, who are tu this country, either have declined f receive them or have decided to aban don htem. This has inspired the legal defenders of some of the women to re mark on the advantages America of fers to husbands who want to get rid of their wives. Reno is not in it with Ellis Island. The case of Mrs.'Hedwig Bliesath, ordered deported by a board of special inquiry, whose husband is a carpenter and builder in Albany, and one of whose children, with their father, is American born, is likely to be decided against, her on appeal to Washington. A husband coming here to Join his wife. Walenty Sabun, a Pole, has been ordered debarred by one of the special boards. The wife, who is living with her brother and a child of Walenty at Mount Pleasant, this state, was at Ellis Island pleading for the release of her husband. Her brother gets $16 a week and she earns $10 a week, ana they said they thought he was not likely to become a public charge; also they" said they could get work for him and that he was strong and capable. They have appealed to Washington for a reversal of the decision of the board of innuiry. Mrs. Ludmilla Peretz, who has been at the island several weeks and came here to join her husband, who has a shifting address, was released in care of relatives who will neip ner to una him. Her 5-year-old daughter died at Hoffman Island several days ago of measles. The foreign husbands who desert their wives abroad, it was said, become Infatuated with Americanized women of their own nationality and marry them. That is why it was hard to find some of them when the real wives appear. New York Sun. "Hen-Minded Women" Proud. Professor J.

"Da-da!" gurgled Philip, suddenly seized with an idea. He was tired of looking out of the window, and the man in the next seat seemed so nice. The man. being a bachelor, natur ally did not consider himself ad dressed. The girl holding Philip dis missed the explanation as a newly discovered pastime. Not so Philip! Leaning over the back of his seat, he slapped Everett Martin's newspaper out of his hand. "Da-da!" he repeated, smiling Into that astonished gentleman's face. Catherine, without a backward glance, hid her head in the depths of the youngster's coat, as she quickly pulled him back. Philip screamed. The tram for Farmington was barely crawling, owing to delay ahead. The old ladles across the aisle hailed the slight diversion with delight. Martin stared. Philip strug gled and Catherine exerted all her strength to keep hold of him. The old ladies shrugged their shoulders. "Why doesn't he take the little chap?" said one. The people In front heard and turned. "Da-da!" screamed Philip. "My Da-da!" "Why doesn't he take him?" mur mured the whole car audibly. "This is perfectly ridiculous of you!" cried Catherine sternly, shak ing him roughly in her embarrass ment. "You know very well he isn't your "Da-da!' "Iss, too!" insisted Philip loudly. Martin rose to the emergency and leaned forward. "I haven't the slight est Idea on what grounds," he stam mered, "but, perhaps if I took him for a while Catherine turned sharply, recogniz ing the voice. "You!" cried Martin, amazed. At the same time he held out his arms to the child. But Catherine refused stiffly, hold ing Philip tight, at which the latter's protests leaped lortn anew. "Good heavens!" groaned a crotch ety old bachelor far down the aisle, "Why don't they give him what he wants anything to stop the infernal racket! Some people never remember there s anybody else around. "You'd better," urged Martin gen tly, as he watched the girl's burning face. "You know, they think we're "But we're not!" she retorted auicklv. "I know," sighed Martin. "We'll just have to pretend." I PhlliD. unnoticed for a r.oment, had tODoled over Into Martin's seat. His last sob melted into a gurgle. "Da- da!" he chuckled, removing Martin's hat with more sneed than skill. "All right," conceded tne gin weakly. Then she immaiateiy turnea her attention to the passing iana scant. The other passengers gradually set tled back to their respective maga zines, with occasional expressive grunts in Martin's direction. But Philip, once victorious, decided to test his cunning further. Having ex hausted the novelty of Martin's watch fob and scarfpin he twisted n round toward Catherine again. Snatching at the feather that drooped from her hat. he jerked her head violently backwards. Ou, too! ne aemanaea, ana nointed to the other half of Martin's seat, where his grip reposed. "Guess you'd better!" grinned Mar tin, sheepishly. "Here, take the win dow seat and I'll put the g-lp in your place." Catherine obeyed with resignation. "Hm! Very strange they didn't think of that in the beginning! Just like a man, though, when he finds a newspaper, even 11 tnere s noinins in it!" 4 "Perhaps a quarrel!" suggested the other old lady, with Just a tingle of regret in her -voice. "How did she guess?" whispered Martin in j girl's ear "Please," said Catherine, coldly, I prefer not to talk. I am very dis tressed, of course, that Philip's un accountable notion should have made it necessary "Wise little chap!" murmured Mar tin, with a tiny smile about the eyes, as he patted Philip's head. Philip, thinking it was a game, shook him off. Then he made a grab for Martin's hair. The man bent down to his reach and submitted gracefully to the remarkably vicious pulls. Catherine stared straight ahead. Finally, attracted by an unusual quiet, she turned. Martin laid a finger to his lips and then pointed to Philip, who was taking the well earned rest of a conqueror, curled up on Martin's iot, Th cvm nt the srirl and the man and Catherine stared at his rumpled hair, at the smile in his eyes, at the curve of his arm supporting Philip's head and something, rising straight from her toes to her thoat, al most choked her. In a Jumble she re viewed their bitter quarrel, their part ing, presumably forever, a few weeks back. In her confusion, she could not recall the details, but one thing she remembered distinctly she had been In the right, of course. Of course? Martin, reading her face, slipped his band over hers. For an instant she yielded to him; then in a last flash of mistaken pride she edged away to the extreme end of the seat. But Martin had sensed the slight re sponse to his pressure, and merely smiled, biding his time. "Farmington!" shouted the conduc tor suddenly. Catherine started to her feet and held out her arms for the child. Half way down the aisle, Philip awoke. "Da-da!" he shrieked. Martin, In a happy inspiration, seized his grip and dashed after them. "I was getting off at the next sta tion anyway for the week-end," "he announced, half deprecatingly, as if assuming the blame for the incident. Catherine refused his assistance from the steps. "You followed me!' she accused. "Not at all!" he denied airily, avoid ing her gaze. "I'm staying with the Torringtons, at Beachwood." "Oh!" said Catherine. Edith Tor rington, she remembered, was exceed ingly pretty. "Was any one going to meet you, or shall I caU a hack?" "A hack if you please," with dig nity. He helped her in. "I owe you many thanks and apolo gies," she began. Martin ignored both the words ana her outstretched hand. "By the way," he said to Philip, "don't you think I'd better come along?" "Da-da!" cried Philip, clapping his hands. I "That settles it!" agreed Martin, and Jumped in beside them "Tell me, do I look like his father?" he asked. Catherine laughed in spite of herself. "Not in the least," she confessed. "I don't see why i ,'l do," said Hartin quickly, and this time seised her hand boldly, on tho strength of her mirth. It was me first time she had smiled on him. him. pur- since that hateful night. "Whose is he. anyway," ne sued. "Not mine!" challenged Cathejj, anrected by his mood. "Oh, jsve rett! not here!"

"Why, so we had!" laughed Cath erine, "but can you remember what was it all about?". "Philip be praised!" murmured Everett, as he shook his head. Snatch ing the boy he tossed him high into the air.

Mamma Well, my dear, pray where is the satisfaction of being in the best society if you cannot snub those who are out of it? New York Call. Mark Twain's story of Horace Greeley's handwriting has a parallel in this, from-' a railroad conductor in Missouri to the president of the road: "A farmer has been riding on this pass for about a year. Do you want him to continue to use it?" The president put on his glasses and looked the poper over carefully. Then he wrote this to the conductor: "This Is not a pass. It is a receipt I gave the fellow for a load of wood a year ago." Colum bia eHrald. While one thing essential to a cultured lawyer is a thorough knowledge of Latin, it is not necessary that he should parade his classical knowledge, for he might be "taken down a peg," as was the young lawyer who displayed has learning before an Arkansas Jury. His opponent replied: "Gentlemen of the Jury, the young law yer who Just addressed you has roamed with Romulus, canted with Canthatides. ripped with Euripides, socked with Soc rates, but what does he know about the laws of Arkansas?" Argonaut. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Lot's wif at least earned her salt. A floating debt isn't a success as a life preserver. Anyway, -George Washington didn't use his little hammer. It's a waste of the other fellow's time when you talk foolish. A man doesn't have to be a detective in order to find fault. Laugh at a fool and he Imagines that you are laugning with him. Soma men will do more for a chean cigar man tney win xor a dollar. j.ne less conxiaence a man has In nimseii tne more ne seems to have in otners. Automobiles are a good deal like men. The cheaper they are the more noise they make. Don't be a pessimist. When pessi mists die they probably become ghosts and don't go to heaven. It's a poor brand of religion that makes a man pray for his neighbors one day in the week and try to cheat them tho other six days. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. As broad as it Is long A square meal. Handy with his talk-The deaf mute. The language of flowers Is not re stricted entirely to society buds. Tho Cynical Bachelor remarks that the marriageable age is bondage. Flattery doesn't have to bo sugar coated for most of us to swallow. When a man has a clear conscience he doesn't mind if people do see through him. No, Maude, dear; the floating popu lation Is not composed of those who use the Camden ferry boats. Hoax "Wasn't It Lot's wife who was turned into a pillar of salt?" Joax "Yes. Do you think she was worth it?" Hoax "Worth what Joax "Her salt." "What do you think of our Mint?" asked the Philadelphian. "Oh, very fair," replied the visitor from Ken tucky; "but your bartenders have a lot to lean about building a Julep." REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Trust a man if you have to. Stealing doesn't seem to be If it's enough. It's ever so much easier to shoot straight than to shoot fair. Women have a lot coming to them from angels for what they don't get from men. A man has a better memory about the sweet things he used to be able to say to the girls he didn't marry thaa to the on he did.

Was it any wonder that I saw the world indigo purple? Is it any wonder that any of the thousands of women who do that same thing get to, feeling "as if I would fly," and to nagging their husbands and scolding- their children, and hating their homes, and having little private crying spells every day Not a bit. It's only a wonder to me that they don't do worse things. Sometimes at the end of a spell of bad weather, a neighbor will run in to see mother, and will say. "I do declare. This i3 the first time I've been out in five days." Seems to me a woman ought to be a housemate of that woman the last two or three days. Seems to me a woman oupght to be as ashamed of not having been out and aired herself as of not having air ed her beds. There is no cure for household dis turbances like going out and getting into a fresh atmosphere, both mental and physical. The reason men do not take household disturbances and little quarrels so seriously as women is be cause they can get out into the air and see people and get fresher, saner perspective on the whole matter, while women stay at home and brood. I know a very bright and wise wom an who tries never to miss a day with out going out for a brtek walk and a chat with some congenial friend, and who paraphrases Paderewski's famous statement about his finger exercise this way: "If I miss my outing; one day I know it. "If I miss it two days my family knows it. "And if I miss it three days even the butcher boy knows it." If every woman went out and aired her lungs with outdoor ozone and her mind with the breath of sanity that comes from contact with other minds, this world would be a much happier place to live in. Of course, this daily airing takes time, but remember, it also saves time by increasing your efficiency to do your work, and probably gives you a balance on the credit side in the end. So don't say you can't afford to take the time. More likely you can't afford not to. E5IPORIA SALESMAN IS KILLED. Struck by Coal Car From Freight Train. Emporia, Kan., March 8.

Colds, grip and chills strain the kidneys and start backache, urinary disorders and uric acid troubles: You feel lame, weak and tired and have backache, headache, dizzy feelings, achy, muscles and joints besides too frequent, scanty and painful urinary passages, sedi ment in the urine, etc. Nearly every case of grip leaves the kidneys weak. And it is a good thing to use prevention, for by keeping the kidneys well, you can avoid colds and grip. The kidney filter the blood and so help to pass off the waste matters of cold congestion. Doan's Kid ney Pills are very useful in the raw months of winter and spring. They cure backache and urinary disorders, keep the kidneys well and prevent other colds from settling on the kidneys. After grip, they act as a fine tonic. Home testimony proves it. What better evidence could one ask?

Fifth Street, Topeka, Kan., says: "I .was troubled off and on by pains in my back for six months and I was afflicted with a kidney weakness. It was almost impossible for me to stoop and I was caused much annoyance by irregular passages of the kidney secre tions. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised. I procured a box at Rowley's Drug Store jind they acted Just as repre sented, giving me immediate relief. Doan's Kidney Pills deserve my hearty endorse ment." (Statement given November 12, 1908.) SO TROUBLE SINCE. On April 21, 1910. Mr. Waite was interviewed and he said: "I have had no need of a kidney medicine since I took Doan's Kidney Pills some years apo. I still value this remedy highly, however, and am glad to again endorse it." Mrs. J. F. Coyne, 412 Mon roe Street, Topeka, Kan., says: "I suffered off and on for two years from kidney trouble. There were severe pains across the small of my back and in my sides and I found it hard to stoop. I also had headaches and other dif ficulties which showed that my kidneys were disordered. Hearing Doan's Kidney Pills highly spoken of, I decided to try them and "procured a box at Rowley's Drug Store. This remedy gave me immediate relief and proved of benefit in every way."

My trouble was always aggra vated when I contracted a hard cold. The kidney se cretions were also irregular in passage and caused my annoyance. When I feel these attacks coming on,' I procure Doan's Kidney Pills at Rowley's Drug Store and it never takes more than a few doses to drive my trouble away." B. F. Collins, 624 Jefferson Street, Topeka, Kan., says: "For a number of years I worked on the railroad and the constant jarring brought on my kidney trouble. There was a dull pain across my kidneys and my back was weak. The passages of the kidney secretions were at times profuse then again scanty, plainly showing that my kidneys were not doing their work properly. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Rowley's Drug Store, brought me the first relief I had re ceived and I was thus given great 'confidence in them." (Statement given November 12, 1908.) COSTTBJIEP PROOF. On April 25, 1910, Mr. Collins said: "I can recommend Doan's Kidney Fills just as strongly today as I did in 1908.

6 THE" TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRNAE WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1911. COINS BURNED HIM Murderer of Benjamin Piatt Sends Back Money. Only Part of Gold Taken From Aged Man Returns. MARK NOT LEGIBLE. Game From Some Little Kansas Town. Postmasters Unable to Light on the Case. Shed New light haa been shed on the Piatt murder but the solution seems to be far off. Tuesday afternoon's mail brought Dr. H. H. Keith an old battered pock etbook containing part of the gold coins taken from Benjamin Piatt after he had been brutally murdered. There was no letter with the package. It was mailed at a Kansas postofflce but the yielding nature of the pocketbook made the postmark illegibile except the flate and state. The only letter in the name of the town which is decipher able is the first, a letter "S,' though it appears the last letter is "R." The postmark also indicates that it was mailed March 1, though the date on the mark is "Feb. 1." The postmaster had evidently forgotten to change the "Feb." to "March" in the stamp. Even if the package was mailed on March 1 at a little Kansas postoffice where has it been since that time? Samuel Freidberg, the jeweler, son-in-law of the murdered man, identified both the pocketbook and the coins as having belonged to Piatt. Only 21 gold coins were returne Those that could not be identified were retained. The postmark is an old fashioned, cheap one which indicates that the package was mailed in a small town. The pock etbook was placed in a plain white en velope -nd sealed. It bore two 2-cent stamps. There is a bloody finger print on the part of the pocketbook set apart for stamp. Postmasters Interrogated. The postmaster at Soldier. Silver Lake, St. Marys and Smith Center, when asked about the matter, could shed no light on the mystery. Bach said that he did not remember of such a package going through his office and he had changed the date of his stamp from February to March before March 1. Postmaster Mickle, at Soldier, talk ing over the telephone, said he has no recollection of a package such as that containing the Piatt pocketbook having been mailed there. He also says that the February postmark was moved up promptly. Postmaster Clarence Henry, at Sil ver Lake, stated that he also had changed his postmark from February to March before March 1 and did not remember of such a package as de scribed having gone through the mail. At St. Marys, Postmaster W. H. True when asked about the matter over the long distance phone said that his rec ords show that the date on his stamp had been changed from February to March, after the last mail on the ev ening of February 28, or the last day of that month. The postmaster at Smith Center this noon talking over the long distance phone said: "I am certain that I changed the date on my stamp from February to March the last day of February and know nothing of the package described passing through the mail here." Mailed in Topeka. Detective Goff. who used to be em ployed in the postofflce. thinks that the package could have been wrapped in an old envelope which had been ad dressed to Dr. Keith and dropped in the Topeka postofflce. He says that the clerks some times do not pay any attention to a package except to see what route it is on and may have not noticed the February date. Postmaster A. K. Rodgers says that had it been mailed here it would have a Topeka postmark which 13 not the case. Nevertheless, the package is regard ed as the best clue which has been found since the aged Benjamin Piatt was found dead with his skull crush ed. Until Tuesday afternoon, the po lice had nothing tangible to work on. The murderer left absolutely no trace of himself. Every clue followed and every investigation carried on resulted In nothing definite. This last development, however, furnishes at least the handwriting of some one who knows something about the murderer if not the murderer him self. The address is "Dr. Keith, To peka, Kans." in three lines with 'County Coroner" in the left' hand corner. The penmanship is small and regular. The writing of the words "County Coroner" resemble a child's handwriting. The package was wrap ped in an oblong paper, evidently an envelope.

For sale at all drug stores at 50c a package and be sure you get what you ask for. mm looks like they had spelled "March 1." The pocketbook when wrapped was about five by four inches. Two two cent stamps were used. It was a rather spongy package which was probably the cause of the blurring of the name of the town. It is hard to get a clear print with a postofflce stamp upon a package of this kind. However, it is hoped that this peculiarity will lead to the dis covery of another clue as to the whereabouts it was mailed, as a post master would likely remember of such a peculiar package having gone through his office. Why the guilty man or any one im plicated should have mailed this to the coroner and thus by his own hand furnish a clue to his identity is a mys tery,: and without parallel. .in. .the hsr tory of Shawnee county. A "theory is that the criminal wished to get it out of his possession and in sheer impu dence mailed it, or had it mailed to the- coroner who has been co-operating with the police and sheriff in hunting the guilty person. Another theory is that two persons may have been implicated in the crime and one of them for some rea son or other wished to put the author ities on the trail, either because of a falling out or for other causes. In that case he may have got possession of the pocketbook and mailed it or caused it to have been mailed. From the writing, it is not improb able that a child or some one who knew nothing of the murder may have been induced to address the package. It is significant that the rarest coins were in the package. The comparatively common ones, which could be passed without exciting suspicion, were not sent. The coins altogether have an in trinsic value of about $50, or half of the value of those still missing. The missing money includes six United States coins, two rare $2.50 gold pieces, one $5 piece of the 1909 mint bearing an Indian head upon it. and three $1 pieces. The other coin? were foreign, including a German gold mark. Those still missing are one $20 gold piece, two $10 pieces, two $5 pieces, 2 8 $1 pieces and four $2.50 pieces. This money, it is thought, must have been sent from a small town, on, ac count of the failure of the-postmaster to change the stamp. Postmasters in towns the names -f which begin with "S" will be notified of the latest development in the case nd will be asked if they know any thing about the matter. The pocketbook is of black leather, opening at the side and divided into five compartments. On the compart ment next to the flap is a stain whicn Chief Jenkins says may be' a bloody finger print. "This is the first real ;lue we have had to the murder," said Chief Jen kins this afternoon. "We are not go ing to let a stone unturned to find out. where the letter was manea ana io catch the mailer. "Even if the murderer did not send it himself, it is altogether likely that the one who did knows something about the guilty man.. "Just why any one implicated shoulrl furnish us a clue himself is beyond me, unless he did it for sheer impudence." List of Money Taken. The list of coins which Piatt had is as follows: One English guinea of 1797. One Russian five-ruble piece. Two Spanish coins. One German ten-mark piece. Old American money as follows: One $20 gold piece. Two $10 gold pieces. Two $5 gold pieces, 1834, 1835. Thirty-one $1 gold pieces. Six $2.50 gold pieces. VAXDERPOOIi GOES TO ASYLUM CALLED TO ORDER.

I Vanderpool, formerly connect ed with the city sanitary department. was adjudged insane by a lunacy commission appointed by Probate Judge Schoch last evening.

FOR THE THIN AND SCRAWNY Samose Will Make You Plump and Rosy Says Geo. W. Stansfield. If you a"re getting thin you are sick, although you may not know it. If you are loosing weight steadily, there is sometnihg wrong that needs looking after. If you have always been thin it doesn't follow that you are sick, but you may not be healthy. You cannot be strong if you are thin. Try then to be healthy and plump, it is not difficult if you know how. The only way to increase the weight and gain health and flesh is by using Samose, the standard Mesh forming food and tissue builder. It mingles with the food you eat and is assimi lated so that all the flesh forming and tissue building elements of the food are retained in the system. This explains the great value of Samose. Weigh yourself before you begin using Samose. It will not cost you a cent unless it increases your weight and restores your health. Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kansas Ave., Topeka.

"There. rare undesirable people here in Topeka. men and women --who have been run out of the city. What are they here for? These fellows are as wise as serpents. If we lose it will be because we don't use our opportun ity. If you will do your duty we will win hands down." The cry at the meeting was "Regis ter!" "Indications are." said D. H. Bran naman, who presided over the meet ing, "that the registration will be the heaviest ever recorded in Topeka. Urging the people to' register is our important business now. Wc must find a way of getting those who are not able to walk to the Auditorium." Ex-County Attorney John Schenck and Captain J. G. Waters, who were to have spoken at the meeting, found it impossible to attend, the former on account of court business, and the lat ter due to the fact that he was de tained in Leavenworth.

Lux, spoke to a big crowd of men and wom en of this part of the city. Candidate Lux confined his speech to his platform as a booster, for Topeka and had nothing to say reflecting'on other candidates.

NOW THE 'HAREM' SKIRT Fashionable Dressmakers of Paris Say All Women Will Wear Creations. Paris, March 8. Of course Mrs. Henpeck and women of her disposi tion "wear the trousers" in their household. But the interesting ques tion is, will all women be wearing soon the "harem skirt," the "breeches skirt" the "jupe culotte," as they call it in Paris? "They will," answer Worth, Paquln Doucet and all the most fashionable dressmakers in Paris, and, as every body knows, Paris sets the fashion for women all over the world. Besides, several leaders of fashion in Paris as sert that this skirt has come into ex istence through the demand of the women themselves. All the Paris dressmakers are ex hibiting the ekirt and assuring their customers that it will be popular and fashionable. Here are pictures of two young women wearing the harem skirt. It would make even Broadway sit up and take notice for nine days any how. No mere man would dare to attempt to describe the skirt; a wom an says this of it: "The creation of the breeches skirt is due to the desire to conserve the excellent lines of the so-called hobble skirt and at the same time allow the wearer to move and walk unhampered. "At first glance there is not much difference to be seen between the hob ble skirt and the breeches skirt. When the woman is standing still the new skirt falls in the same graceful lines as the old, but in the new there are really two skirts. The outer one is open on both sides. Under this, of the same material as the outer skirt, or of the material of which the waist is made, is another skirt which is di vided much after the fashion of the trousers worn by Turkish women."

Dr. Scoviile made known to the au dience that 327 ipersons had confessed Christ in the past eight days, making a total of 662 in the three weeks that the company has been in the city. The subject of Tuesday evening's ser mon was, "The Divine Stamp," and was introduced to the people by the song, "Oh What a Change," sung by Rockwell and Baird. "If God puts His stamp on a man, he's going through." said Dr. Scoviile. "When the government stamp is placed on a package or letter it will go through, no matter how difficult the road may be, it will finally reach the owner. So will God's stamp if it be placed on us, no matter how difficult the road,' it wfil finally takev us through to heaven. "God- has given us the promise, Lo, am with you always, even unto the end,' and he will be with us. 'Too many church members put too much faith in the songs, a sermon, and think that leaning on that faith, they will be carried through; not so, we have got to put our trust in God, and He will be with us always, even to the end."

SAYS DIAZ IS 0. K. Mexican Minister Denies Rumors Re garding the President. New Tork. March 8. What is re garded as perhaps the most important conference held nere in connection with the Mexican situation was begun this afternoon between Jose Ives Limantour, Mexican minister of finance, and Senor De La Barra, the Mexican ambassador at Washington, The conference began immediately on the ambassador's arrival from Wash ington. Just before the ambassador's arrival. Mr. Limantour, who had been Inaccessible earlier in the day. talked with considerable freedom on the situation. Ir. Limantour said in the first place that he was able to contradict alarmist rumors concerning tne conai. tlon of President Diaz of Mexico. The minister said he had received today a tel gram from President Diaz saying that the Mexican executive was in a perfectly normal state. He also denied another rumor, that he had received a summons from President Taft to a conference at Washington. "I have received no sucn telegram said the minister. Asked as to the re port that he was to become Mexico s minister of foreign affairs, Limantour said: "This is the first I have heard of such a report. I certainly hope it Is not true. I have ben all my life a man of affairs and prefer to remain such." Getting down more directly to the state of affairs in Mexico the finance minister kept to the attitude he as pumed on his arrival in disparaging the view that the situation was not as serious as many reports have pictured it. "The insurgents in Chihuahua con tinue to make themselves visible from time to time," was his brief comment on the situation in a state from which reports of most of the Berious aisturD ances have come. Mr. Limantour was asked if, to nis knowledge, notice had been served on Mexico by any European power or by the United States that intervention would follow unless the interests of suoh foreign government jeopardized by rebel activities were suitably protect ed. "No." replied the. minister, but he said he was somewhat out of touch with recent governmental affairs in the Mexican capital and would be better able to discuss them after his confer ence with Ambassador De La Barra. Mr Limantour. however, declared that according to his information there were constant violations of neutrality along the Mexican border. He compiainea that arms were being taken across the border all along the lines. RAILROADS DENY IT. Had Nothing to Do With Passage of Utilities Bill. Said a railroad official today: "The railroads did not interfere with the passage of a public utilities bill, and suggested only three amend ments to the measure. When the pub lic utilities proposition began to take shape, the railroads found provisions which prohibited them from holding stock in union depot companies, and from holding stock in otner rauroaa companies. "The last named provision, as orig inally written, would have forced the dismemberment or tne santa je ana Katy systems, for their lines in sev eral other states are organized as separate companies to meet the re- nuirement of state laws. xne rail roads called attention to these unjust provisions, and they were remedied b- unanimous vote ot tne committee. "The framers or the Din wanted to prohibit a railroad from owning stock in a competing line, and they did not hesitate to change the measure to that effect, thus enaDiing a company to own stock in a line that is a part of its system like tne case or me Santa Fe, and the case or tne Katy. "The onlv other suggestion made by th railroads was for a change in the stocks and bonds section in order that the railroads might not De hampered in obtaining funds for extensions. Ex cept in the three instances stated, the railroads orierea no suggestion re garding the utilities bill." CASTOR I A Por Infant! $nd Children.

Resolution Commending Him Adopted In the House. After their controversy Tuesday night over the ruling- on the roll call denied to the branch normal bill. Speaker Buckman and Davis of Kiowa burled the hatchet this afternoon. The anger of the man from Kiowa had cooled, and when Haslet of Sumner in troduced the following resolution, it t ts Mr. Davis who moved its adop tion: "Whereas, There has been charges made upon the floor of this house con cerning the rulings and conduct of our esteemed speaker, Hon. G. H. Buck man, and that such charges reflect upon his integrity, honesty, impartial ity and fairness, as a presiding officer of this house, and "Whereas, Such charges are unjust, unfair and wholly wtthout foundation, In fact, and "Whereas, The members of this house have Implicit confidence In the integrity, honesty, impartiality, fair ness and ability as a presiding officer in our beloved speaker and considering him a gentleman in every sense of the word and In order to express our ap preciation of his conduct as speaker during this session of the legislature of the state of Kansas, therefore "Be it resolved, That we, the mem bers of the house- of representatives, do hereby extend to our speaker the Hon.

The above resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote. UPSETS THE PLANS. Warships- Leave Los Angeles Harbor and Play Hob Witn Society. Los Angeles, March 8. The hurried and unexpected departure at noon to day of the vessels of the Pacific fleet from Los Angeles harbor for San Diego, in pursuance of the joint army and navy mobilization orders from Washington, seriously upset the joint program of the national convention of the navy league. Many social functions had been ar ranged for the next few days in con nection with the convention, in which Admiral Thomas and the other officers of the fleet were to have been promi nent participants. All this was changed by the orders of the navy department. The regular business "of the second day's session progressed, however, and addresses were delivered on "World Leadership of the Pacific." by Lincoln C. Cummins, honorary vice president of the league, Brookllne, Mass.; on "Naval Defense of the Pacific," by Judge Sydnev Ballou -of the supreme court of Honolulu,' Hawaii; on -"The significance of an Adequate Represen tatlon of Nanal Force on the Pacific," by Prof. W.

When he receiv ed the news of the heavy mobilization of United States troops along the Mex lean border, Simon Gerthold, the American socialist leader of the rebels in Mexican, exclaimed. "The United States is fast getting into a class with the Diaz government Is Just another case of might against right. The first of the additional American troops arrived at Calexico today and pitched camp. They were Company A, Eighth Infantry, from San Francisco, commanded by Captain J. H.

There will probably be no report from the conference committee on the workmen's compensation act until late this evening. The committee had planned a meeting for early this af ternoon, but were unable to get to gether. Another attempt will be made at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Senator Ganse, a member of the committee, is of the opinion that the conferees will be able to get a good measure and that it will be passed at this session. This is the second conference commit tee appointed on the compensation act since the bill was amended in the senate. The senate this afternoon passed the Watson bill relating to the desertion and non-support of wife by husband, or of children by either father or mother, and providing severe punish ment for violations of the act The bill is in many ways similar to the Travis ."affinity bill" which was pre sented early in the session. Senator E. F. Porter, president pro tem. was in the chair this morning when the noon hour arrived. The Pittsburg man was hungry. He arose and said: "The senator from Craw ford moves we take a, recess until 2 o'clock." Then Porter put his own motion, which carried unanimously. The senate this afternoon passed the bill providing for a rock road from Kansas City, Kan., to .Lansing to the entrance of the state penitentiary. Senator Carey amended the bill to se cure a rock road from Hutchinson to the entrance of the state reformatory. The work is to be done by convict labor and the material for the new roads is to be furnished by the coun ties through, which the road passes, Men's $12.00 Worsted Suits Special Thursday $g.00 These Suits cameT to us today by express picked up' by our New York buyer Stan ley August.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1911. THEY FIXJT UP. Conference Committees Agree on Utilities Bill. Only a Few Words Changed in Text. BUT TWO OF ONE PARTY Political Qualification of Mem bers Is Fixed. Garden City-Concordia Normals Are Beaten. The house and senate conference committees have reached an agree ment again on the utilities bill and re ported to their houses this morning. But little change was made in the con ference bill reported Saturday and ac cepted by the house and rejected by the senate. Section twenty-five, the enag relating to stack and bond Issues, Js scarcely changed at all by the re port, the only amendment agreed to being that after the standard has been set and acceded' to is that- the com mission must ascertain the facts before taking action. In other words, the old conference report set a high standard for stock and bond issues, while the new report requires the -commission to jro carefully, over the presentation of facts and figures and make proof of their findings. The other change 1s 1n' words only, and had to do with the political faith of the commissioners. The old report required that two should come from the party polling the largest vote at the last election and one from the party casting the next largest, vote. Speaker Buckman attacked this para graph as unconstitutional, as it barred members of the Socialist, Prohibition and Independent parties- from- eligibil ity to the commission. So. it was changed to read, two. members from one political party ana one from an other party, which comes to the same thing in the long run. One of the members of the house conference committee declared that the agreement was reached in a very short time and that the senate com mittee appeared to be anxious to meet the house more than half way in the matter. The actual changes made in the bill were slight when it is con sidered that the two bodies had a deadlock over them that threatened the death of the bill or a special ses sion. Had the western members stayed with Garden City and the Fifth dis trict members stayed with Concordia Tuesday afternoon, these towns would have won their normal schools. But a. roll call had been denied and the members were not on record, so they voted for economy. The friends of the bill made a gallant fight for the new normal schools and polled 48 votes on a division. They believe they -would have won on a roll call or had a very close vote. Carney, of Cloud. "-ade a brilliant speech for the normals, but made a bad break when he moved the previous question after opening the debate. The previous question was voted down. Meek, of Nemaha, moved that the bill be sent back to the ways and means committee and this was done by a standing vote. Then Speaker Buckman rebuked the house for cowardice in not settling the matter then and there out in the open and not burying the bill In a hostile committee. The house re considered and took the bill out of committee. Then Turner, of Neosho, moved that the enacting clause be stricken from the bill. Turner argued that the appropriations for the new nor mal schools would grow and advanced the strange proposition that it would be a bad thing for the state to estab lish new normals for the reason that they would get larger and cost the Btate more money. Wayman, of Lyon county, spoke against the bill and he was called good and hard by Davis of Kiowa, who declared that opposition to normal schools came with bad grace from a man representing a county that had asked and received from the state mil lions for a normal school. Davis de clared that the west had been given the worst of it from the east for 25 years in the matter of state institu tions; that the east was narrow and selfish in its viewpoint and he warned the east that the fast growing west would one day in the legislature return the debt with interest. Thomas, of Wyandotte, a Democrat, declared that the vote on this normal school bill was along political lines and called attention to the almost solid Re publican vote against the bill. It -was a hard fight to lose. The de nial by the speaker of a roll call in censed the friends of the bill, and Davis of Kiowa had words with the sneaker over what he termed arbitrary rule in- tne matter. It looked from the press desk as though 30 hands at least had been raised asking for a roll call. The speaker counted differently, however, and allowed only a standing vote. The bill's only chance was a roll call, as a lot of western members would then have hesitated on go on record as op posed to the establishment of a new western institution. It was a hard fight to lose. When the senate passed the appro priation bill for printing the statutes and the constitutional amendments it tacked on an amendment providing uni me amendments snould be print ed only in official county Darjers Sen retary of State Charles Sessions and Walter Johnson, secretary of the sen ate, ana rari AKers, clerk and N. H. Turner, sergeant-at-arms of the house all newspaper men, took the side of the mm Pork Loins, Chops or Roasts, per lb. lie WM. GREEN SON Grocery Co. ROW country editors and got a conference on this amended bill in which it was placed in its original form and pass ed. Thus a blow at the country editor struggling with the wolf at the door, was averted. The house passed twenty-eight sen ate bills on one bulk roll call Tues day afternoon and concurred on four amended bills. Most of the measures under discussion Tuesday in both houses were not of general importance but were of vital interest to the par ticular localities affected by the meas ures. Don Carlos tried to save the appro priation for the San Jose scale bill in the house but failed. The senate bill went through minus the wherewithal. Last session the house spent most of the first week trying to rush through an emergency appropriation to check the ravages of the scale in the fruit orchards of certain sections of the state. It is said that the bill of two years ago accomplished great things. This session the scale bill came up last, and was sent through without the sinews of offense, unless it is helped by a conference committee. Fair of Rice county, got his bee bill through in the closing hours of the house consideration of its own bills. This bill excited shafts of humor from many members and the newspaper boys, but Fair declares that it means a great deal to the bee keepers of the state, as only a few experts can be se cured to successfully treat the disease that often wipes out colonies of bees. The appropriation with the bill will enable the State Bee association to put these experts at work where they can do the most good. The apiaries of the state represent an investment of a half million dollars. Wettack of Montgomery county succeeded in killing the bill which was intended to make all county high schools in the state small colleges and require them to maintain many addi tional courses. The bill would have affected Wettack's home county in particular, as it would have required the county high trustees to maintain schools of manual training, domestic science and agriculture. It was upon motion by Wettack that the enacting clause, after considerable discussion. was stricken from the bill. Wettack is not the foe of the high school but he came to Topeka as the enemy of the county high school where it is maintained in county seats of counties containing other cities as large or larger than the county seat. In the case of such counties these larger cit ies have their own high schools and yet are compelled to help maintain county high schools. "Wettack is from Coffeyville and was elected on an anti county high school platform. The house voted Tuesday to appoint a committee to select a present for Speaker G. H. Buckman to be pre sented the last day of the session. The Cowley jurist by his bearing as speak er, has won the affection and respect of the house members of all parties and factions. Case of Dickinson, who arose to a question of personal priv ilege to make the motion, was named by the house as chairman of the com mittee, and Cron of Butler and Fair of Rice county compose the rest of i the committee. It is understood that the committee will select a watch as f present. CHAMP CLARK SCOLDS. lie Doesn't Approve the Course of Republican Newspapers. Pittsburg, March 8. A statement made here by Congressman Champ Clark, speaker of the next congress, arraigns Republicans and newspapers of the country who are alleged to be predicting a split in the Democratic party. In part the statement follows: "The strangest political phenomenon of our times is the persistence with which Republican newspapers try to create the impression that there is ar is about to be a great split among Democrats. They work at that fable as industriously as any rattle-pate ever work to discover perpetual mo tion. "Up to January 19 they predicted that in the caucus which we held that day we were dead sure to go all to pieces. Some of them denounced it in advance as a 'crazy performance;" but when we emerged from that caucus, cheerful, smiling and united, not one of them had the grace to admit that we presented a solid front. "When subsequently we were about to hold a caucus on the Canadian reci procity pact, they turned prophet of evil once more and predicted that wo would fight like the cats of Kilkenny; but when we came forth smiling and unified, they shook their empty heads and wagged their malicious tongues to the effect that we would split on some thing else. "Then when all the Democrats ex cept five voted for reciprocity and saved the day, the president promptly wrote an open letter to Congressman McCall congratulating him and the Re publicans on carrying the reciprocity bill, notwithstanding the fact that the president and McCall combined could not muster even a majority of the Re publicans for it. The president's letter to McCall was an absolutely preposter-o--s performance a slap in the face of the Democrats. "Certain Democratic senators votea that Senator Lorimer should retain hl.s seat; more of them voted that he should be ousted, whereupon the Re publican papers promptly headlined another 'Democratic split,' utterly re gardless of the fact that Republicans also divided on that odoriferous ques tion. "All of this hullaboo about Demo cratic splits is to hide the wide and irreconcilable splits among Repub licans. Democrats should pay no at tention to the malicious and misleading fables about 'Democratic splits.' Dem ocrats are united for victory in 1912 and afterward for many years to come." MAY REACH HIGH MARK. Registration Is Expected to Exceed Sixteen Thousand. C. H. Titus, city election commission er, has hopes of registering the larg est number of people this spring of any campaign in the history of the city. A few years ago more than 16,000 names were placed on the books but since then the number has dw-indled to 13.000. Today there are nearly 14,000 names registered for. the coming primaries. Seven days remain in which to increase this number by more than 2,000 in or der that the old record will be broken. At this time the names are coming in at a rate of 300 a day and it is the ambition of Captain Titus to make it at least 400 a day until March IS when the books close. EXIT THEJIEGENTS One Board of Three to Control All State Schools. Measure Now Awaits Signature of Governor. HAD A LIVELY FIGHT. Senators Once Before Refused to Pass Measure. New Board Required to Meet Once a Week. Late Tuesday afternoon the senate reversed its former decision and by a vote of 22 to 16, passed the Keene house bill providing for a unification of the boards of regents of all stale educational institutions. The passage of the bill was a hard jolt to the college town members and they made a despe rate fight for the defeat of the meas ure. A week ago when the Huffman bill was under consideration, the senate turied the document by a one sided vote. Since that date, the stand pat and minority members have been busy. They even borro ,-ea a few radical ad ministration senators for emergency use. These votes were timely, too. Member after member of the insurgent wing waded into the hobby of a single board for the administration of the af fairs of the educational institutions They pointed with horror and shamo to the Kansas college of tomorrow which the new board would establish. They declared the state could not em ploy competent men at the meager sal aries offered in the bill. But the friends of the bill stood hitched. They even made a few speeches in behalf of the new plan. It was Senator Cambern, the official grammarian of the senate, who abused the plan with his choicest collection of highly varnished English. When the Erie banker saw that argument wa3 not producing results, he offered a few amendments thai for a time puzzled the supporters of the bill to a consid erable extent. He injected the work men's compensation act plan into the voting. He wanted a commission ap pointed to investigate the advisability of an administrative board. This would delay the matter two years. But the senate voted him down. Then Cambern came back and asked to remove everything after the enact ing clause. For thirty minutes the heroes of the upper legislative division turned loose the best articles in the breeze department. Brady pleaded in behalf of good government and the high standard of education to leave matters Just where they were. George H. Hodges, or tne minority. took up the fight for a change in the government of the schools. He quoted an editorial from Senator Brady's pa per, which recently said that 49 per cent of the persons who attend Kansas university fail. Hodges declared that the new board would improve this con dition, that it could study-the situation in other schools and increase the ef ficiency and high standard of the Kan sas college. He stated that in his opinion the board would save the stale a quarter million dollars in appropria tions the first year ana sun give me state as much for its money as it re ceives at present. Raps Educational Lobby. Senator Carev nointed to the lobby of educational experts and members of boards of regents, who were in Topeka to land appropriations and defeat this bill. He said if any member of the senate wanted to see a member of a certain board, it was not necessary to go to the school town which they rep resented, but they would be found In the legislative halla as expert looby- ists. He said these men were receiv ing from $5,000 to $6,000 of the state's money for the purpose oi spenaing me winter in Topeka as lobbyists. Carey said the appropriations had been cut to the quick, yet the governor sent to the legislature a message deploring the expenditures. Then Senator Price asked now tne governor stood on the question. He said he wanted to vote at least once with the administration. Senator Potter closed the argument. He saw dire ruin in store for every Kansas institution if the legislature passed the bilL He lambasted the ap propriations for the new normals and urged the senate not to loss its sense of reasoning and pass this insane measure. Senator Carey voted against the bill. although two members of the boards of regents live in Hutchinson, his home town. Myers and Quincy of the ipsur- gents, votea lor tne Din. nunman ana Hodges led the fight for the measure, and it was much to their credit and that of Senator Carey that the meas ure passed.

The senate Tuesday afternoon passed the Laidlaw bill requiring rail roads to report to the board of rail road commissioners the cost of all equipment, tracks and station build ings and all sums paid to officials and certain persons and authorizing the railroad board to compel the produc tion of all records. A resolution which passed the sen ate Tuesday night provides for the appointment of five members from the legislature to investigate the advisabil ity of a state building at the Panama Canal exposition, to be held in San Francisco in 1915. Richard J. Hep- kins, lieutenant governor, and Senator J. T. Reed will represent the senate. iThe senate Tuesday' night con curred in the conference report on the State Agricultural college appropria tion. This committee agreed on an appropriation for the school of $970, 000, or about $100,000 in excess of the amount allowed by the 1909 leg islature. A bill providing for a soil survey of the state under the supervision of the State Agricultural college passed the senate Tuesday afternoon without op position. ALL UNDER WAY. (Continued from Page One.) He was also exceedingly annoyed over the reports that foreign intervention in Mexico was possible. Such an out come would be wholly unnecessary, he said-. "All Mexico is absolutely tranquil," said he, "except for a number of ma rauding bands which are making raids in the extreme north among inacces sible mountains and these the govern ment is holding in check "Any steps taken by the United states to patrol their own frontier will be welcomed as preventing insurrec tionary movements from the United States across the border. This can be the only object of that government, which is perfectly aware that the most of these movements originated in the United States, where Madero still car ries on his propaganda. "There can not be more than a half dozen British subjects in the region where the bandits are operating. There are many Americans there, but the authorities on the spot are able to take care of all foreigners. As a mat ter of fact, the revolutionary leaders in the United States are themselves most anxious that no foreign interests shall be endangered. Weetman Harold Miller Pearson, M. P.. head of the contracting firm of S. Pearson and Sons, limited, which is the British con cern having the greatest interests In volved in Mexico, said today that he did not regard conditions there as in anyway alarming. He said: "We are constantly in receipt of cables from Mexico which suggest that the disturbers are merely brigands. We have not heard direct from the affected area, but hear constantly from Mexico City, where all the news would be received at once." General Smith Leaves Today. Omaha, March 8. General Fred erick A. Smith, head of the Depart ment of the Missouri, who is to com mand one of the brigades near San Antonio, will leave this afternoon. He will be accompanied by Colonel D. E. McCarthy and Lieutenant Watson. Company D of the signal corps from Fort Omaha left shortly after midnight last night. The Fort Meade troops will come through Omaha. The Burlington railroad has sent twenty eight cars from Lincoln to Fort Mc Kenzie to carry the troops from there to Texas. They will be taken through Denver. M13XICO IS INDIGNANT. Issues Official Denial That Interven tion Has Been Sought. Washington, March 8. The Mexi can embassy today issued a statement branding as preposterous reports cur rent that the Mexican government was looking to the United States for aid in regulating Hs internal affairs. The statement follows: i. "The insensate rumor that Mexico had asked, or was going to ask Amer ican intervention to settle its own in ternal affairs -is ridiculous. The re public has the means and the power and is supported by public opinion to enable it to suppress the insurrection. This embassy affirms categorically that Blatt and Converse, were taken prisoners on Mexican territory and not on American soil as falsely has been represented by the press." The two prisoners referred to tn the statement are both Americans who joined the insurrectos operating along the Rio Grande. They were captured by Mexican federal troops and are now in prison. It has been stated that both men were taken after they crossed the boundary into the United States. Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, con fidential agent here for the Mexican revolutionary party today made reply to Jose Ives Limantour, who gave out an interview in New York yesterday. Dr. Gomez declares the minister of finance to be a part of the "system" of the Diaz government and as such his suggestions in reference to a cessa tion of hostilities are of little value. The revolutionists Dr. Gomez says will not lay down their arms until the Diaz regime is overthrown. "In regard to damages suffered by foreign interests." said Dr. Gomez in his statement, "the revolutionary par ty desires to be distinctly understood that when It shall have assumed con trol of the federal government it will hold itself strictly responsible in ac cordance with the requirements of in ternational law for full compensation for all such damages." CITY WILL OPERATE IT. Los Angeles Declines to Lease Distri bution of Electrical Power. Los Angeles, Cal., March 8. By a vote of 11,149 to 1.158, the people of Los Angeles have declared in favor of municipal distribution of the electrical power which will be generated by the great 250 mile Owens river aqueduct as against the proposal that it be leased to the existing power corpora tions.

Kansas City, March 8. WHEAT Cash: Market unchanged. No. 2 hard, S7OTc; TRAIN HORSES THERE. State Fair Grounds Ideal for That Purpose. The state fair grounds are to ba made a great training: spot for race horses. "We can have 150 horses next winter," was the declaration of Secre tary H. L. Cook. "We have the best track in the United States outside of the south, as it has sewer underneath and is well drained. "Plans are we'l underway for the erection of two large stables for train ing purposes which will cost about six thousand dollars to build, and work of improving the race track is in pro gress. The Horse Review, published in Chicago, the biggest paper of its kind in the country, speaks of the track facilities here in Topeka in a flatter ing manner. Here is what the paper says: 'The Kansas state fair grounds at Topeka, Kan., promise to be one of the most popular training places in the west. They are conveniently located, being only five minutes by car from tiie heart of the city, and possessing the best of shipping facilities, the Santa Fe railway having a switch on the grounds. 'With the knowledge that the fair offciala have of the demands for better tracks and stables for training pur poses, they are planning to build two new up to date stables of 22 stalls each, at a cost of J6.000. 'Work has already started on the track, and when it is completed the management hopes to have one of the fastest half mile tracks in the coun try. The cinder path around the out side of the track is being reconstruct ed, which will afford the trainers an excellent place to jog their horses in bad weather, and as the track is well drained, and dries quickly, training is hardly interrupted. If one does not care to train too much on the ground and track, he can use the country roads throughout the country to good advantage, as they are always kept in first class shape." "The premium list this year will be attractive and complete. It will fce embossed with the state seal and will be a splendid-edition throughout. Mer chants, are already availing themselves of the limited amount of space which the management has decided to use for advertising purposes. "Correspondence which is coming in from other state fairs indicates that Topeka is now looked upon as the natural state fair city. Last year the show was merly experimental but both exhibitors and fair management are firm In their belief that the state ex position of Kansas will continue to grow in magnitude and influence. "One of the features of the fair next fall upon which special stress will he put, is the boys corn contest, open to boys under 18 years of age. Prizes for those who enter the contest and grow the largest yield from one acre of land will be: First, $30; second, $20; third, $15; fourth, $12; fifth, $8; sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth, $5 each. "The contestants must send their names and addresses to this office not later than May 20, and the entire labor of preparing the ground, planting, cul tivating and harvesting this acre of corn must be performed by the boys. "The acre of ground must be meas ured, and the corn husked and weighed in the presence of two disinterested freeholders, residents of the county in which contestant .resides. Then tha contestant must file with me a full and detailed account of his method of per forming the work, telling what fertil izers were used, if any, and giving a description of the soil on which the corn wa? grown. Every detail must be Included." STOCK SHIPPERS To Insure Yourselres Best Results Consign to CLAY, ROBINSON CO. Live Stock Commission Merchants, Stock Yards, Kan.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OtTRNAII WEDNESDAY EVENING; MARCH' 8,1911. 9 MOVE US Bice county is represented this ie&' gon by the plutocrat of the middle west D. J. Fair, of Sterling. Mr. Fair is the pride of the house and the press table He may be spotted by a btranger within the portals, by the grand lump of ice in his necktie and his smooth appearance. Nothing Beema to ruffle this level-headed rent from Rice county, and some of his friends have expressed a desire to see him fall into the river, just to prove their theory that nothing could disturb either his even temper or his faultless attire. The diamond worn by Mr. Fair is suspected of being the inspiration which caused Hon. Wilhelm Feder to Intro duce his headlight bill, but, be that as it may, it is nothing against either the rock or its wearer. There are a number of reasons why Hon. Fair can wear diamonds and an air of contentment; one reason is the lumber yards at Sterling, and the oth er reasons are lumber yards at other points in that country. He is the owner of the visible lumber supply out there, and the wolf nor even the coyote has been known ot yap around his door. V JWkk tL, Fair Enough. In the legislature Mr. Fair is recog nized as an insurgent Republican and a friend of f- -ful. not to say grouchful, honey bee. He has succeed ed in passing a bill which provides for the medical attendance of such honey-makers as suffer from pip or other bee diseases. We take it that he did not intend that the outlaw bee of the humble variety shall participate in the advantages of this act. but the wording of the bill is not calculated to draw the color line. Last night the usually quiet Mr. Fair came to the front in defense of that downtrodden incident of Kansas poli tics, the Tin Soldier, for once though he tries to conceal the fact he him self was a tin soldier. He made the star speech in defense of the militia, and had a handful of figures and things to back his assertions. Last on the house roll call but first In the hearts of his countrymen and constituents is George Yoxall, of Rooks county. He is the gentleman who wears throat-warmer whiskers with both grace and dignity a difficult feat. Last on Roll Call. The people up in Rooks county seem nrettv well M.Hiaftori with fhia v. m" w- .wa i-iii. ouuoi.au 1. 1 1 l iJ1i. a utti icfiiuiaiui uiiu larmer, as tney nave sent him back for another term, and they have made no mistake. Although he is not a windjammer who speak upon the slightest provocation, his sound Judgment and quiet methods have made him a factor in legislation. He is held in the highest esteem by his fellow members, although the fact that he favors women's suffrage may not meet with the approval of all of them. Regular Dividend Reduced. New York, March 8. The directors of the New York Central today re duced tb quarterly dividend on the company's shares to 1 per cent ThU is a reduction of per cent from the previous quarter.

One of the chief objects of my re cent visit to the Isle of Pines was to see whether the island had developed as much as I thought it would when I was there eighteen months ago. When I was there before, there was one au- tomobile on the island. There are now seventy-two. The transportation facili ties have been increased about three fold. The hotel accommodations are about four times as good as they were be fore. I think the acreage now in citrus fruits is about double what it was eighteen months ago. I found many more people there than upon my former visit, but this is partially ac counted for by the fact that many peo ple go there to spend the winter. In this connection, it is interesting to note that the summer climate is really as attractive as the winter cli mate. Much money is being spent in developing the island. The most ex tensive and attractive improvement now in progress is that on the estate known as San Francisco where Mr. Swetlund, -a Cleveland capitalist is building a beautiful club house .laying out golf links and planting groves of citrus fruits. These groves are' being planted in tracts of 100 acres each on the estate, in each of which tracts, Mr. Swetlund has Interested a number of his friends. There are now four of these tracts In excellent condition, and two other tracts prepared for planting. He in tends to put out ten tracts of 100 acres each on the estate. The club house is surrounded by beautiful building sites. where the parties interested will build cottages. The San Francisco tract is immediately south of Cuchilla Alta, the tract in which Topeka parties are interested. One of the most attractive improve ments on the island is being installed by Mr. J. J. Conley for Air. S. B. Rohrer of this city. He is building a very handsome cottage and his grounds are very tastefully laid out. He has planted a small orchard cf grape fruit and a small plat of pine apples, which are looking very fine. A telephone plant is being installed so that in a short time all parts of the island will have telephone connections. Communication by wireless telegraphy has been established. While on the is land I received a message that my lit tle girl had the mumps. The message was sent from Topeka at 11 o'clock in the morning and I received it at Neuva Garona at 3 in the .afternoon. One of the things that impressed me very much was the development of the vegetable Industry. When I was in the Isle of Pines before, there were no vegetables grown there at all. Now all the vegetables used are home grown. I had at one meal new potatoes, fresh strawberries, string beans, grape fruit, pineapples, sliced tomatoes, head lettuce and cabbage, all home grown. They tell me there that vegetables grow in the open just as they would here in a hot house. It is now the dry season, but the roads are the finest I ever saw and there is very little dust. The set tlers seem to be prosperous and satis fied. There is a general feeling there, that the Isle of Pines will become a great winter resort and I see no rea son why it should not be one of the most attractive spots on earth for winter homes. I think the Cuchilla Alta estate in which Mr. S. B. Rohrer and myself are interested is really the choice of the island, both as to loca tion and lay of the land." The resi dents of the Isle of Pines say that if it were not for the influence that American rule would have in attract ing Americans to the island that they would be entirely satisfied with the government they are now under. To all intents and purposes, they govern themselves. The Isle of Pines has many advantages over Florida, as a winter" resort, on account of the scenery and uniform climate and a place to raise citrus fruits and vegetables. If the present development continues, the is land will be one of the most attractive spots on earth in a few years. MAY DISMISS MURDER CASE. Potterton- Wif e Murder Charge Prom ises New Developments. Arkansas City, Kan., March 8. When the motion to dismiss the Pot terton case in district court at Win field came up yesterday, the county attorney requested that the hearing on the attorney general's plea be put over till Monday. This was done. Th case is now put off in order to grant time for an Ohio attorney, who repre sents the Kimmell or Mrs. Potterson heirs, to come here. This row famous case promises some new developments in the near future. Louis W. Potterton is charged with poisoning his wife on January 1, 1910. First there was a coroner's inquest, which extended over several months. Following this was the preliminary examination, which was not completed for a month. After the preliminary examination, Potterson sought to se cure his discharge by a writ of habeas corpus and the court came very near discharging him because of the in sufficiency of the evidence, but aa there was some hope of securing ad ditional evidence, the court held Pot terton to answer to the charge at the November term. When court convened In November no material additional evidence had; been secured. County Attorney Flem ing then wrote the interested parties that unless they could secure addi tional evidence he thought it advisable to dismiss the case and be in position to start it again if sufficient evidence! thereafter should be obtained, rather than risk a trial on the evidence which the state then had, for, if the defendant should be acquitted it would be impossible to put him on trial again, no matter how much new evi dence the state might thereafter dis cover. Several days ago W. L. Cunning ham, attorney for Potterton, took the case up with the attorney general of the state, who filed the motion to dis miss without prejudice. Cunningham's partner, Albert Faulconer, is now county attorney, having been appoint ed to that office recently. FOR RENT 8 room modern house barn, close in. $25.00.

Four of the Five Who Kobbed Viola Bunk Caught. Viola, Kan., March 8. Four out of the five men who robbed the bank here yesterday and got away on a handcar were captured near here at an early hour this morning bv a posse of deputy sheriffs. Only one robber of the band is missing from the net thrown out to the south of here by the Sedgwick and Sumner county of ficials and it is expected that he will be caught some time today. The above brief but emphatic dis patch brought a grim satisfaction to Bank Commissioner Dolley who has been trying for months to break up tl organized gangs of bank robbers that have been operating in the north ern anr southern part of this state. Yesterday Mr. Dolley, upon receipt of the news that the Viola bank had been robbed, wired the Sedgwick offi cials to use every effort to capture the robbers. He urged that large posses of deputy sheriffs be organized at once and sent out in all directions. He wired the Anti-Horse thief association officials in the southwest part of the state to use every effort to capture these outlaws. There is a bill now before the legis lature authorizing a special reward for bank robbers. Mr. Dolley believes that the counties, with the powerful aid of the state in Influence and money, can break up these bank rob ber gangs. WEDDING DATES ADVANCED. Society Becomes Interested in Army Orders at Fort Ijeavenwortli. Fort Leavenworth, Kan., March S. Equipped for ten days' active field service, members of the Thirteenth infantry and the Third battalion of engineers are anxiously awaiting the arrival of trains that are expected to sstart from here today and convey them to San Antonio, Tex. Colonel R. H. R. Loughborough, commanding officer of the post, does not know just when the trains will start They will be moved under orders from Omaha headquar ters for the department of Missouri. "We are read to board the trains now," said Colonel Loughborough last night. This was pay day at the post, but the money remains unspent in the pockets of the soldiers. No men are absent from the fort on leave of ab sence. Every soldier on furlough was called in today. But the soldiers are satisfied: they desire to get into ac tion. The order reads that they be prepared for "field duty," much to the liking of the men. The sudden command to prepare to move wrecked the post's social calendar. One of the big events of the year, the marriage of Lieutenant Guy I. B. Rowe, of the Thirteenth in fantry, and Miss Katherine Chambers, who resides in 1 the post, was set for tonight. Immediately following the receipt of the order to proceed to the frontier, the wedding date was ad vaned one day. Last night the couple was married and today the groom will leave with his company. Married officers, are spending their evenings at home. This afternoon families played together on the lawns, while inside the houses maids packed equipment for the officers so that they might be ready when the start is made. None of the soldiers take seriously the explanation of the movement as given out at the White House. Many express the opinion that some action by Japan which has not been made public has something to do with the unexpected turn of affairs. At 11 o'clock last night a second advanced army wedding took place. Lieutenant Joseph Topham. of the Thirteenth infantry, and Miss Imogene Kirkham of Leavenworth, being mar ried.

DAWSON KNOWS FISHER Says New Secretary Is Too Broad to J so callert a X actionist. Attorney General John S. Dawson asked today about Walter I. Fisher, the new secretary of the interior, with whom he was associated during the trial of rate cases before the inter state commerce commission, said: "Walter I. Fisher, the new- secre tary of the interior, is one of the smartest lawyers I ever met. Mr. Fish er was one of my associates in the big cases against the railroads which were decided the other day. He was not with us all the time because he was serving on a committee appointed by the president to study the problem of regulating the issue of stocks and bonds of interstate carriers, but I saw a good deal of him. Last summer he developed the fact that officials of the Illinois Central had grafted their com pany about $600,000 in the car equip ment of the road. He is an investiga tor with a vengeance and the land sharks will never fool him. Mr. Fish er is too broad a man to be called a factionalist of any sort, but he is in accord with all that is best in Repub lican politics and has a fine record for being effectively on the right side of civic problems in Chicago and Illinois." Bryan Enjoys It. Boston, March 8.

SAVE WASHBURN CAMPUS Art Director Max Hagendorn Protests Against Proposed Action. A protest has been voiced by one of the members of Washburn faculty against the plan of the board of trus tees of the college to: plat, out and sell as lots a, strip off the east side of the campus. "Years ago this campus was ar ranged and laid out with a view to the growth of the college," said Prof. Max Hagendorn. "Loving hands set out those trees which now beautify the ground. It seems a shame to have those plans destroyed, that beauty marred by narrow-minded opinions. "Mr. H. B. Harrison sflvg in his ar ticle in the morning paper, a strip cut off the present campus would in no way injure either the looks or the value of the remainder. "As an artist I am opposed strictly to Mr. Harrison's opinion that the gen eral view and appearance will not be marred. Just this part, the most beau tiful portion can least stand, any re duction. From an artistic standpoint to lay out this particular portion' in city lots suggests great ignorance in considering the symmetry of the grounds. "It seems to me the advice of an artist should be sought when consider ing such important action. "If it is not necessary we have not the moral right to undo the work planned years ago when the future of tne college was being consiaerea anu without any consideration now of the college future. "Washburn college has now. In pro portion to its size, a very small In debtedness and the sale of a portion of the mampus is unjustified, it only shows the beginning of the end. Such action only Indicates the present un certain experimenting and brings up the campus is unjustified, it only trustees of the college have the sole right to. make such important changes. Should not the faculty have a right to be heard in this matter too? "The sale of this strip of campus will not have, the tendency to encour age the people to -'ve money for the support of the college. Its effect will be to the contrary. "Where is the fault? It is only in the unlucky occupation of Important college positions. This is not meant to reflect personally upon anyone but the principles involved. The college needs good organizers, strong men as leaders of any department and capable men to assist in the securing of finan cial aid. This duty of obtaining fin ances is one which the board of trus tees should perform as well as to sit around and criticise. "Instead of making changes in the official roster of the college it seems to me a shifting of duties is all that is necessary. To change officials means the decline of the school. These lines are written only as a warning that the future of the college should be consid ered not the cutting down of the cam pus or any of the departments of the institution. "It is best to warn before mistakes are made which cannot be righted with out enormous expense or possibly never restored." PATHFINDER'S SON DIES. Iff.. rftW72, 5 T II H I 5 I 1 l 1 Admiral John C.
