TWO CENTS. iTfi p a pi ii m a n ei HEART BALM HIGH Claude N. Ware Is Awarded 635,000 Today. Amount of Damages From Wealthy Chicago Man. STOLE AWAY HIS WIFE S. G. Worden Mad No Defense in Court. Verdict Largest of Kind Ever Given Here. The largest verdict ever returned in the Shawnee district court was brought in at 11:30 o'clock today, awarding Claude N. Ware, an express messenger, $35,000 damages against S. G. Worden. of the firm of De Bower Elliott, publishers, of 315 Dearborn street, Chicago, for the alienation of his wife's affections. The Jury was out but a few minutes. S. G. Worden made no appearance and sent no attorney. Only a few minutes were taken In arguing before the jury. The woman in the case was formerly Miss Elizabeth M. Bunce, one of the most beautiful girls of Topeka. She lived with her mother and stepfather, Chas. Thompson, at 117 West Seven teenth street. At the age of 18. on March 3, 1901, she married Claude N. Ware, who was employed by the Uni ted States Express company. He was 25.. They went to Kansas City where he was transferred and lived thereafter part of the time in Kansas City and part of the time in Topeka. She was described on the witness stand today as "a vivacious, voluptuous woman of wonderful beauty who would make any man's heart beat quicker." Such was her appearance when S. G. Worden, the near-millionaire of Chi cago, met her in Kansas City in 1W8. Her little girl, Irma. was 6 years old. The two were introduced by Mrs. Lance, a neighbor and friend of Mrs. Ware. Promises of diamonds, fine clothes, luxury and travel turned the beautiful woman's thoughts from her husband, her home and her little girl. Worden, with his wealth, bought her all these things and took her on a trip around the world. Ware Tells His Story. The first intimation Ware received was this knowledge that his wife had cast aside her home and all for the luxuries wealth could give her. On the stand this morning, he told of his dis covery. "It was i January 16, 1908, I return ed home from work and found my wife and her trunk gone. A neighbor said he had received a call from the Savoy hotiJ to meet Worden there. I went to the hotel and found his name on the register. I knew then my wife was in his room. The clerk called him down. I raved, of course, but they would not let me go to his room- so I had to go away." A few days later Ware received a letter from Minneapolis written by Worden, telling him that Bessie (Eliza beth, his wife) was perfectly happy. In June of 1909, Ware secured a di vorce and the custody of his child. During September following, Ware received a ten page letter from Worden written in Los Angeles. He wrote in part: "Bessie is very happy and contented. One reason i write you is to let you know she Is also respectable. We were married September 2, 1909, and she has everything she wants. I have sold my business here and we are off for a trip to the far east, China and Japan. All our relations have been honorable and I shall give my life and all to mako her future bright, honorable and re spectable. "While I did take Bessie from you. you will admit that I am a man in every sense of the word and will treat her with the highest affection. If you care to write to her you may address the letter to me and if its contents are of a kindly nature, she shall see It. Otherwise she will not. We are leav ing tonight for Vancouver, British Co lumbia, from whence we sail for Hon Kong. We will stop in Manila Decem ber 11, at the Orient hotel and a letter would reach us there. "Forgive us both and remember wu have nothing but kindest regards. "Sincerely, S. G. WORDEN." To this was added a short note from Mrs. Worden stating that every thing her husband wrote was true and that she wished him (Ware) every thing good, in life. There was no indication that Mrs. Worden ever thought or cared about her husband or her child until a let ter written by her followed the Los Angeles letter from Hong Kong. This was dated December 9, 1909. at the Astor house. The letter was forward ed from Topeka, Ware's residence at the time, to Clearwater, Florida, where his father had taken him in an attempt to brace him up. The note reids: "Arrived here the 6. We resume our trip around the world today. Will reach U. S. about March or April and I i.m coming to see Irma. I hope you wir. condescend to permit me to see her without hesitancy. "Trusting you and baby are well, I am, respectfully yours, "MRS. S. G. WORDEN." Father of .Ware Testifies. Claude Ware's father was one of the few witnesses placed on the stand to day. He is Dr. M. Ware of 228 Wa bash avenue, Oakland, now retired. Formerly he was the supreme medical director of the National Aid society and came to Topeka from South Da kota to take up that work. He testi fied that after his wife left him, his son became despondent and worked only at Intervals. He took him to Florida several times in an effort to get him to forget his loss and humilia tion. His son, he said, could always s-et his Job back when he wanted to work because the company knew his circumstances. Many times his boy would go to worn in tne morning but return to him before noon, he said. Further Dr. Ware cave testimony regarding a meeting with Worden in Topeka, the only time the Chicago millionaire ever visited the state. This was after the damage suit was instituted on July 18.1910 Mrs. Wor den. following her desire to see her daughter, came to Topeka. The girl was in the custody or Dr. Ware and he refused to allow her to see the child until he was satisfied that her husband was more of a man than he suspected. Mrs. Worden telegraphed for her husband and he came. On the stand the doctor told of this meet ing-with Mr. Worden in the office of Bishop Crumrine, who in the mean while had been retained as attorney by the Wordens to work in conneo tion with a Chicago attorney. 'I hope I shall find you a more gentlemanly fellow to deal with than I found your son at the Savoy hotel.' said Mr. Word erf to me and I replied: 'On that occasion I would certainly have met you as a true gentleman as a southern gentleman that is, I would have shot you dead on the spot.' Mrs. Worden has never seen her daughter since the day she left her in her father's home in Kansas City in 1908. She and her husband left the city. Since that time Attorney Crum rine has made unsuccessful attempts to reach Worden without avail and so withdrew from the case some time ago. The Judge's Instructions. In his instructions to the Jury, Judge Dana told them tha: any man had the right to the aid, comfort ard assistance of his wife and that any one who deprived a husband of his wife's affections and her services was liable for damages. He further de nned malice, which Ware had alleged, as not necessarily hatred for anyone but the wanton disregard fo another's rights. In his one effort to defend himself, Worden had an answer filed to the pe tition setting out that Mrs. Ware had had no affection for her husband and that therefore he could not deprive Ware of it. A number or witnesses who had known the family testified that the couple had been most affec tionate and Ware had provided a good home for his wife with his earnings. The Jury needed no more evidence. Attorneys Arraign AVorden. In the short argument to the jury W. E. Atchison, who with John Schenck and A. J. Bolinger, presented the case, dwelt strongly on the picture of a man of wealth prompted by evil designs throwing a net of bewilder ment around a beautiful woman, who by her beauty could demand luxuries a poor, but loving husband could not give her. "She was beautiful, vivacious and charming in her conversation. He was a wealthy man, one of those known as a heart breaker. She was dazzled by his offers of diamonds, fine clothes, and a trip around the world. Ware earned $80 or $90 a month. He could not buy her $100 hats. $1,000 gowns and jewels. Can you put your self In this man's place for a moment and Imagine the humiliation and men tal anguish he suffered? He loved her. He was as much enamoured by her beauty aa the thief Worden and she was his. I saw her when she was here to see her child. Her fingers were covered with diamonds and she was dressed in the finest clothes and she was beautiful." But now this grandeur of wealth has vanished if last reports obtained by Bishop Crumrine ar not faulty. Mr. Atchison knew wha' he argued when he called the defendant a heart breaker. The happiness of clothes and Jewels Is ended. The last chapter of the Ware domes tic tragedy shows Worden as he is. He now has deserted his neiutiful wife and, argued Mr. Atchison, "probably taking another trip around the world with another handsome woman." The advices have it that Mrs. Worden now is living with a sister, named Con nelly, In Hutchinson. Claude Ware Is working again for the United States Express company in Kansas City. He has the little girl, Irma, now 9 years old In the St. Agnes convent in that city. She never will see her mother, he says. The $35,000 award may and may not be collected as a balm to his out raged love. The whereabouts of Worden is unknown. The jury which gave the greatest award was compos ed of: Logan Spaulding, John Miller, Henry Mauney, A. T. Fulfort, James Partridge. C. L. Berkey, D. C. Har brough, W. H. Gilfillan, W. S. Kelley. William Elliot, D. E. Conrad and J. C. Marsh, foreman. The case was the last on the docket for the present term. JOKEPROVES DISASTROUS Brother's Prank May Cause the Death of His Sister. Greenwich, Conn., March 15. As the result of the prank of her brother. who placed percussion caps on the cellar floor, Mary Fitzbain of this town may die from blood poisoning. The brother, in sportive mood, placed a number of percussion cans on the con crete floor, so that they would be ex ploded by anyone walking on them. The girl was the first to enter the cel lar and when she stepped on one of the caps, it exploded with a loud de tonation and set fire to her dress. Be fore the flames could be extinguished, she was severely burned about the face and hands. It developed later that a fragment of the exploded cap had entered her ankle and blood poisoning developed soon afterward. JOE RAMSEY GETS GETS IT Awarded Contract for the Topeka 1911 Brick Pavinc. The contract for seventeen blocks of brick paving in Topeka was let to J. R. Ramsey of this city by the city commissioners this morning. The price for the work was $60,806.20.

Stubbs' Veto of Regents Consolidation Bill. Find That Educational Men Op pose Plan. BOARD IS TOO SMALL. Says Higher Salaries AlsoShould Be ProTided. Appoints a Commission to vestigate Situation. In- As was predicted Tuesday the gov ernor vetoed the board of regents bill, sending the message up to the legis lature at the 5 o'clock session. This measure provided for the consolida tion of the boards of all the state edu cational institutions Into one board of. three members. The governor, as soon aa the bill was passed, asked educa tional experts all over the country by wire for their opinion on such a plan. Most of them thought that good enough men could not be secured for the $2,500 salary offered. The fol lowing are the men to whom the gov ernor sent telegrams: A. Lawrence Powell, president of Harvard university: W. O. Thompson, University of Ohio; Wm. L. Bryan, president of. the University of Indi ana; James H. Baker, president of the University of Colorado; C. A. Duna way. president of Montana State uni versity; R. C. MacLaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology; E. E. Brown, commissioner of education for the United States. Ed ward F. Smith, president of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania; David Starr Jordan, Leland Stanford university; Harry Pratt Judson, president of the University of Chicago; Andrew S. Draper, state commissioner of Educa tion of New York; Charles W. Elliot, former president of Harvard; R. C. Slagle, South Dakota Agricultural col lege; Henry S. Prltchett, president of the Carnegie Foundation; Jacob Gould Schurman, president of Cornell uni versity; Chas. R. VanHiee, president of the University of Wisconsin; Cyrus Northrup, president of the University of Minnesota; F. W. Gunsaulus, pres ident of the Armour Institute of Tech nology; A. T. Ha.dley of Yale; Homer H. Seerley, president of the State Nor mal of Iowa; F. B. Gault. president of the University of South Dakota; Geo. E. McLean, president of the State Uni versity of Iowa. In reply to the telegram, A. L. Powell, president of Harvard, wired: "Proposed salary too small to pro cure good men. Better tn any case to have men of affairs like board of di rectors giving part time and not ex perts but acting through and consult ing expert executive heads of the In stitutions; in that case salary is suf ficient." Edward F. Smith, president of the University of Pennsylvania, wired: Think it would be unwise to place such grave responsibilities In the hands of but three Individuals. Jacob Gould Schurman. president of Cornell university, repl'ed as follows: "To prevent institutional rivalry, duplication of resources of men and work and unnecessary expenditure of public moneys I believe the principle of consolidating the management of your university, agricultural college and normal schools sound and desir able, but I would rather put the ad ministration in the hands of three able and large minded citizens without sal ary empowering them to employ busi ness experts and clerical assistance. You can not get big enough men to govern universities and colleges for twenty-five- hundred dollars and small men in authority will ruin all your ed ucational institutions." George E. McLean, president of the State university of Iowa, wires as fol lows: "In my opinion, bill should not be come law for following among other reasons: Wait to profit by Iowa ex periment with which already there is wide dissatisfaction. Disturbances in college of agriculture and university and decline in attendance. So far neither economy nor efficiency at tained. Twenty-five hundred dollar men should not be put over high sal aried educational experts like presi dent and head professor Co-ordination can be obtained by separate gov ernment by educational council con sisting of presidents an? representa tives of boards or by a standing legis lative commission. Compare pam phlet 'Educational Problem! in North Dakota' in joint conference of presi dents and members of boards January, 1910. Bill endangers individuality in stitutions and voluntary support of their constituents. Normals a differ ent type of institution. Should not be included. The unification of state's educational forces in interest of the whole public school system demands a larger plan like that of the New York state commission. Your bill a move ment away from the people with dan ger of politics." Governor Stubbs makes the follow ing observation: "After a most exhaustive Investiga tion of the whole subject of the man agement and control of state educa tional Institutions, I am convinced that the results which this bill seeks to accomplish are desirable, but I am also fully convinced that these results can be secured with greater certainty and more safety with a larger board than the number required under this bill. "Not only is the number of mem bers provided for too small, but the salaries are so low that it is Impos sible' to secure the services of vigor ous, earnest men in the prime of life, who are qualified by business and educational experience to assume such great responsibilities. "I have already Inquired of a large number of well-known men in thi9 state, possessed of the qualifications needed asking if they would accept service on this commission, without an affirmative reply from one man. "I regard this as the most Important measure that has passed both houses of the legislature at this session, and, therefore, have given it an unusual amount of most careful investigation and consideration. "I propose In the place of a board of three members on a salary of $2,- 500 per annum to organize the nine hold-over regents of the educational institutions Into a commission form of government for the common control and management of all our education al institutions. I shall recommend that these nine regents be subdivided Into three committees. Appoints a Commission. mtler vetoln& the board of regents bill the governor appointed a commis sion to Investigate this plan thorough ly and report findings to the next leg islature. The commission is composed as follows: A. M. Keene. Fort Scott, chairman; 3. H. Allen.. Topeka; Dr! L. H. Murlin, Baldwin; Dr C S Huffman, Columbna. SOME ONE BLUNDERED. Salary of Fish Warden Taken Out of General Fund. Attention has been called to tha fact that the legislature overlooked an im portant matter when it provided for the fish and game department of the state for the next two years, and one which the taxpayers are apt to grow peevish over when they think about it. The salary for. the warden for the next two years was appropriated from the general fund of the state instead of from the fish and game fund, as has always been done in the past. And not only this, but the salary of the warden for the past two years was also taken from the gereral fund in the state treasury instead of from the restored fish and game fund. .TUS the warden not only-has some $70,000 of the fish, and game fund at his disposal, with some $40,000 more to accrue from this fund the next two years, making a total of over a hun dred thousand dollars, but his salary must be paid from the general fund of the state instead, of from the fund created for this department by hunt ers' licenses. Why this was done, no one seems to know. The warden's salary the past two years was paid from the gover nor's contingent fund and this fund was reimbursed from th general fund, but the general fund was not re imbursed f om the fish and game fund. This latter fund had not been touched during the past two years because the legislature of 1909 had failed to make the formal appropriation making it available. The warden gets a salary of $2,000 a year. He has over a hundred thou sand from the fish and game fund at his disnra.1. vet ho mnut v,j i,t. salary from the general fund of the oiaie ana can spena an tne fish and game fund for maintenance and im provement of the hatchery, etc. Whether It was an. oversight or by de sign, the affair was badly handled from the standpoint of the taxpayers. CHINA WAKINGUP. Topeka Men Helping in Awakening, Says MrJjockwood. "Educationally, industrially," and po litically China- Is going through a marvellous awakening,'' was th state ment of R. B. Look wood, Y. M. C. A. secretary at Shanghai, China, who, to gether with E. T. Colton of New York, were the guests of Governor and Mrs. W. R. Stubbs at a reception last even ing. "There are now nearly a million students of modern learning in China, which is remarkable considering the fact that the modern education was not introduced by the government un til five years ago. "Mr. George Lerrigo is doing valu able work in the large cities of Bouth China In the way of organizing. He is doing an excellent work as head of the Y. M. C. A. at Hong Kong. Associated with him is F. M. Mohler, a Washburn graduate, and former Rhodes graduate at Oxford. We In China feel especially indebted to Topeka on account of the services which the men who have hail ei from here have rendered. "In Shanghai, we have a Y. M. C. A. with between three and four thousand members including four departments. The first of these departments includes European and American young men; the second is a live department organ ized and controlled by Japanese; the third is the college department which includes eight different associations in Institutions of modern learning; anl the fourth is the main department. "The city department Is made up of 1.500 members, largely made up of of ficials, and commercial and college graduates in the student class. Thi institution is self supporting. The city of Shanghai has a total population of 750,000 including 15,000 Europeans and Americans." KANSAS IN THE LEAD. Produced More Winter Wheat Than Any Other State Last Year. Washington, March 15. In the crop growing pennant race of 1910 Iowa wrested from Illinois first place in the production of oats, according to an an nouncement Just made bv the depart ment of agriculture. In the produc tion ofvwinter wheat, all wheat and corn in 1910, the lead'ng two states and the percentage of the total crops of the country grown by them were: Corn Illinois, 13.3; Iowa, 11.0. Winter wheat Kansas. 13.12; In diana, 8.0. All wheat Minnesota. 13.5; Kan sas, 8.9. DAMAGING THE ORGAN. Complaint Tiiat Evangelists Tramp Upon the Cabinet. "Utter disregard for bther people's property is inherent in some people," said Oscar Swayze. "As an instance, the beautiful hardwood 'finish of the organ cabinet at the Auditorium has b en ruined by the heels of the evan gelists holding forth there. They jump, dance and stamp their feet on this cabinet because it is a little high er than the platform. I would suggest that a cement floored platform be built temporarily over the organ cabinet for the dancers who condemn danc ing." I. and K. for California Cities. Sacramento, Cal., March 15. A bill providing for the initiative, referendum and recall for all municipalities has re ceived Governor Johnsonn's signature and will become a law at the expira tion of 60 days. MAY BRING PEACE

Mexican Factions Show Dispo sition to Get Together. Action of United States Has Created 'Much Alarm. MAKE COMMON CAUSE. Both Sides Say Intervention Would Mean War. Would Unite at Once to Fight Common Enemy. New York, March 15. Before Senor De La Barra. the Mexican ambassa dor, departed for Washington, he gave out here the proofs of an article which appears today in the Independent, on "the situation in Mexico," urging all his coutrymen, regardless of "all di visions of party, all differences be tween men" to recall the "sacred in terests of our country," and "to work together for the progress of true de mocracy and the best improvement of the motherland." The ambassador wrote this appeal after his conference with Senor Limantour, the Mexican minister of finance, and he considered it so im portant that at the very last moment he had it printed. Insurrecto leaders to whom the paragraph was shown said they con sidered it an invitation to come Into camp, and its issuance makes more noticeable a trend of events that has b en discovered for the last three days. After the first shock of surprise in the United States and of alarm and dis trust in Mexico caused by the dispatch of 20,000 American troops to the front ier, there began on the one side a series of formal diplomatic exchanges between the two powers and on the other a series of carefully weighed in terviews and authorized publications in the daily press. Underneath this cur rent ran a deeper tide of sympathy be tween countrymen who might be at odds but were still countrymen. "Intervention means war," said Se nor Limantour in so many words. "Intervention?" answered Dr. F. Vasquez Gomez, the insurrecto agent at Washington who has been here for the last three days. "The moment there Is intervention there will cease to be an insurrection. Both sides will make common cause against a common ene my." In short, it became plain that two streams of tendency were flowing to a junction. On one side there was a disposition on the part of the insur rectos to open negotiations with the representatives of the Mexican admin istration here; on the other there waa er growing -understanding between the Mexican government and the United States. Virtually Senor Limantour is willing to have it understood that if the United States will take care of smuggling, his government will take care of the insurrection. Diaz Discusses the Situation. Los Angeles, March 15. Charles A. Canfleld, the millionaire oil operator, returned from Mexico City yesterday and brought first hand- information concerning the health of President Diaz. Last Wednesday Mr. Canfield, ac companied by E. L. Doheny and Dr. Norman Bridge, prominent residents of this city, had an interview with Diaz in the palace at Mexico City and found him in excellent health. In the opinion of Dr. Bridge, the Mexican president is in better health now than at any previous time in the last few vears. In their conversation with Diaz Mr. Canfleld and his assistants, who have extensive holdings in Mexico, learned his attitude toward the revo lution. In commenting upon the sit uation, according to Mr. Canfield, President Diaz said: "I do not consider that the pres ent disturbance in Mexico is as seri ous or as widespread as other out breaks which have been noted in this country. In fact, I consider that it is not nearly as serious as some previous difficulties have been. "It is a fact that there are bands of brigands who have escaped arrest by making their way into the moun tains, but they will be suppressed. The fact that the disturbers have sought the recesses in the mountainous coun try has made the time required in quelling them seem a little longer. However, the federal government will prevail." While in Mexico City, Mr. Canfleld and his companions attended the avi ation meet there and saw President Diaz and his official family at the grounds. The Mexican party took keen interest in the spectacular flights. Rebels Burn -Two More Bridges. El Paso, March 15. Mail advices to the Herald state that the rebels burned two more bridges Sunday on the Mexican National road. The town of Topia, where the Stand dard Oil has heavy holdings, is sur rounded by insurgents Shooting Across the Line. Calexico, Cal., March 15. Firing from the American side of the inter national line, Mexican customs officers at Algodones today sent a volley into the insurrectos, the latter replying by firing across the line into the Ameri can town of Andrade. No one was wounded, so far as is known, v Smuggling Must Stop. El Paso, March 15. "Smuggling of arms and ammunition across the Mex ican frontier from El Paso must cease." This in substance is the order re ceived by federal officers here today. It is supposed to have emanated from Washington on the representation of the Mexican government that El Paso has been the chief point from which help has been sent to the insurrectos and the place in which the revolution has been planned and fostered. The new vigilance is believed to mean that any movement of any supplies gathered here will cause close scrutiny. The assertions of Minister Limantour that hereafter Americans caught fight ing with the insurgents will not be shown any special mercy has caused consternation here. Fifteen Americans captured at Casas Grandes are still in jail at that place according to report. The Mexican authorities say it is im possible that they were shot as bandits. The insurrecto Junta, however, still in sists that it has reports from Madero indicating that the men never will be heard from. Col. Samuel Garcia Cnellar. formerly chief of President Diaz's staff, is re ported dying at Casas Grandes. Cuel lar had an arm shot off at the battle of Casas Grandes and was otherwise badly wounded. Warships Leaving Mexican Waters. Washington, March 15. Carrying out the American government's an nounced intention of withdrawing naval vessels cruising In Mexican waters from the ports of that country as soon as they had coaled, the gun boat Tacoma has sailed from Puerto, Mexico, for Galveston, and the scout cruiser Chester has left Vera Cruz, Mexico, for Puerto Cortez, Honduras. The Chester arrived at Vera Cruz yes terday and left the same day. They Want a Fight. Mexican, Mexico, March 15. The rebel army of 200 men, headed by Gen erals Berthold and Leyvra, marched out of Mexi all last midnight In the direction of Ensenada with the inten tion of giving battle to any Mexican federals they might find. The rebels encamped today at La Guana, Salada, about 25 miles southwest of Mexican. General Berthold said he would promptly attack the force of federals said to be holding Ploahos Pass, the narrow mountain defile which com mands the only route to Ensenada. He expressed confidence in being able to defeat this detachment, but added that he -id not expect to get back alive. Reliable reports were received at Mexican last night that the Mexican government had started a force of 750 men from Ensenada with the purpose of giving baf'e to the rebels at the earliest opportunity. The rebels will be badly outnumbered in any encoun ter with the federal troops. The offensive movement of the rebels Is the result of the continued demands of the men under Berthold and Leyvra for action. They have been Impatient ly waiting In Mexican for develop ments and lately their demands for a fight have become insistent. Tia Juana Is Reinforced. San Diego, March 15. The arrival of Mexican federal reinforcements num bering 150 at Tia Juana, Mexico, is reported today. This gives Captain Nunez, in command, about 250 men for the defense of that place. The border is reported quiet from Campo to the ocean. Captain Evans, In command of the American side, has received reinforcements, company B of the Thirtieth infantry, having been sent by General Bliss from this place. The medical corps is vaccinating the men of General Bliss' command against typhoid. Easy to Fix It. Washington, March 15. The issue which has been raised between the United States and Mexico over the legality of the imprisonment of Blatt and Convers, who are being held at Juarez. Is susceptible of easy adjust ment, in the opinion of state depart ment officials, because the matter rests entirely on the place of their ar rest, a fact which it is believed can be determined without difficulty. Reports "from the consular officers and the Investigation agents of the de partment of justice declare that the men were seized on American soil, while, the Mexican authorities have uniformally maintained that they were captured within the Jurisdiction of Mexico. The Mexican embassy today forwarded the state department's ap plication for the release of the men to the Mexican government. WHAT UXCXK SAM WANTS. Col. Roosevelt Says Is Only Order, Justice and Independence. El Paso, March 15. "All that the United States demands of Mexico is order, justice and Independence," de clared Theodore Roosevelt this morn ing at breakfast, given in his honor by the Toltec club. The colonel's re marks were the only utterance he has made on the Mexican situation and came as a complete surprise to the members of his party. Col. Roosevelt led up to his obser vances on the Mexican trouble by saying that the prosperity of his neighbors was a condition of the prosperity of any man. He declared that honest dealing between man and man was the only certain foundation of prosperity. The same thing was true, he said, of the relations of com munities to each other. Pausing as though to select his words he then said that he thought he spoke for all Americans when he said that all the United States de manded of Mexico' was order, justice and independence. Continuing he de clared that this country wished to see all of its neighbors prosper, that his hearers who dwelt along the southern order knew from experience how the "turmoil" to the south had affected business. He said that this country only demanded of its neighbors that order should reign on their borders and that order should be established upon Justice. MERCURY BELOW ZERO. And a Sixty-Mile an Hour Wind in the North. St. Paul, Minn., March 15. One de gree above zero was the official tem perature here today.

Warden Coddings Annual Re port Made Public. Warden J, H. Codding has issued his biennial report on the state prison at Lansing, and a very interesting docu ment it is, going into every detail of the prison management and giving ex haustive descriptions and statistics concerning the prisoners. Warden Cod ding has been in charge of the prison nearly two years and has. according to general opinion, made the state a most valuable official. His reforms at the prison have been recounted in the papers and in speeches during the last campaign. The 80 pages of his report deal with every phase of the prison life and the management of the big plant. Not a dull page in this book, as the review ers say. Among the most interesting facts and figures of the report are the following: The prison Is situated on the ten acres of ground within whose walls are buildings, cell houses, electrical machin ery and the property necessary to car ry on a penitentiary, w"-ich are valued at 1 million dollars. This is exclu sive of the twine nlant. maintained for the manufacture of binding twine, of the value of $65,000. Just outside of the main wall, within a small enclosure are the mine shafts, engines and ma chinery of the best equipped coal mine in the state, which, with its coal rights now owned by the state, is worth a quarter of a million dollars. Here also is located the brick plant, which, with its brick kilns, is valued at $30,000. Ly ing to the east of the penitentiary pro per is a farm of TOO acres, good dairy barns, hog houses, farmer cottages, etc. worth $80,000. On this farm are a dairy herd of 50 cows, 400 hogs, 25 calves, 28 good mules, and 7 head of horses, comprising the live stock, which is valued at $13,400. Lying east of this tract of 700 acres, and in the Missouri river, is about i acres of land, known as the "Steiger Island." This land was purchased primarily for its underlying coal, but is furnishing all the timber ne y for mine props, and experiments are now being made to determine its usefulness for farm ing 'and pasturing. This island Is reached by a gasoline launch and a barge, which are used in ferrying men. teams and timber from the island to the mainland. The prison and farm are supplied with water for use and fire protection by a water system val ued at $18,000. Of the 890 inmates on June 30, 1910, only 161, or 18 per cent, were natives of Kansas. All were native Americans except 55, or 6.2 per cent. From Missouri wj get 128, or 14.5 per cent of our criminals. The three- oth er states which border on Kansas Oklahoma, Colorado and Nebraska give us 25 criminals, or less than 3 per cent. The following table gives tha details for. the foregoing: Where born. Number, per cent.

During the bi ennial period covered by this report the governor has issued 3 pardons, commuted 18 sentences and paroled 47 prisoners. There are 25 of the 105 counties of the state which have not sent a single prisoner to the penitentiary In tha past two years; there are 2 3 countiea which are not represented among the prisoners of the instiution, and IS counties have only one inmate each. There are 11 counties that have twen ty or more prisoners each. Eight of these counties are in the first two tiers on the state's eastern border. HIGH SCHOOL BOY KILLED Ivan Baker Thrown From Horse anil Skull Is Fractured. Jewell City, Kan., March 15. Ivan Baker, a Jewell high school boy of tha freshman class, 15 years old, waa buried Monday evening in the Wallace cemetery, the funeral services being held at the-Christian church of this place by tho boy's pastor, the Rev. Mr Scott of Mayview. The boy was killed last Friday evening as he was riding his horse home. He undertook to gal lop by a buggy ahead of him, evidently not turning out far enough, for tha horse's feet caught the buggy wheel, and the boy falling, crushed his skull so badly that he lay unconscious until death, which occurred Sunday night. No one knows Just exactly how the acci dent happened. The boy was picked up unconscious, with one foot still in tho stirrup. Young Ivan had no own parents, Samuel L. Baker, father of the boy. committed suicide by poisoning himself a year ago. Weather Is Colder. This has been a chilly day with a penetrating wind blowing from 20 to 33 miles an hour from the north.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1911. RAILRQAD,HEWS. Why Railway Facilities Develop Oar Communities. New Construction "Work Stimu lates Localities. PEOPLE BENEFITED. Tremendous National Wealth Still Lira Dormant. Other Items ol General Inter est in Traffic World. In a general way it- is understood how great an advantage adequate rail way facilities are to the development of communities and localities, says the Railway World. While there has Been a tremendous growth of railway con struction in the United States during the past half century, there are still vast tracts of land, involving millions of acres, which are still too far away from the nearest railway to make their development for anything but local pur poses practicable. Tremendous na tional wealth still lies dormant on this account, and it is to be hoped that this fact will be fully appreciated by those government officials who now practically have the authority to stimu late or deaden developments along these lines. i Not only Is this new construction work of importance, but the Improve ment of facilities already established must continue to influence, as it has in the past, the devolpment of com-1 mercial activities. For these improve ments, as well as for new construc tion, the railroads must largely pro-1 cure the additional capital necessary through the issuance of new securities. This can be accomplished only under a liberal policy on the part of regulative authorities. A striking illustration of the great impetus whioh is given to the develop ment of certain localities through im proved railway facilities is that of the effect which the opening of the Penn sylvania railroad's tunnels under the East river has had upon the rapid growth of building operations on Long island. Although these tunnels were not ready for use until September of last year the increase in the number of buildings during 1910 over 1909 shows a remarkable response on the part of homeseekers and manufacturers to the advantages of the improvements which puts every point on Long Island one half hour nearer New York. The record shows that during 1910, 7,068 dwellings, 803 stores. 42 factories and 604 miscellaneous structures were erected as against 6,542 dwellings. 694 stores, 40 factories, and 411 miscellan eous buildings built in the preceding year, showing a total gain of all classes of structures of 848. This is a remarkable showing, and Is significant of what an enlightened rail way policy can accomplish, and how soon the people are able to derive the benefits of the vast amount Of money which the railroad is compelled to spend in making these improvements. That the capital has been splendidly Invested and that it will bring a great er share of prosperity to the general public than to the railway, is fully ap preciated by those who understand the ultimate results of such improvements, and it is largely for these reasons that a certain prominent railroad official in commenting upon the attitude of the interstate commerce commission in connection with the advanced rate cases, affirmed that the general pub lic, in the long run, would suffer far greater loss from the enforcement of an unprogressive railway policy than would the carriers. PKXN. INCREASE CAPTTAIj STOCK Stockholders Change Finances From $500,000,000 to $600,000,000. Philadelphia. March 15. At the an nual meeting of the stockholders of tha Pennsylvania railroad the recom mendation In the annual report that the capital stock be increased from J500.000.000 to $600,000,000 was ap proved. This Increase will be made from time to time when in the judgment of the directors money may be required for the needs of the company. There Is at present outstanding $412,763,600 stock, the balance being reserved to provide for convertible- bonds. It is proposed to issue only $18,000,000 of the new stock this year, for the rea son that the company now has on hand 122,000,000 from a previous stock issue. THE OUTLOOK IS UNCERTAIN. Western and Eastern Roads to Prac tice Rigid Economy. For the time being the financial out look contains many elements of uncer tainty. Both the eastern and western roads have decided to abide by the commission's recommendations and to withdraw all advanced rate schedules which are subject to the commission's rulings, says the Railway World. TJn- oer the circumstances it may be fx pected that a policy of the most rigid economy will be adopted, and this is apparently the view which Is being taken at present by leaaing railroad men and bankers. What effect this will have upon the steel Industry and upon the railways supr.ly business is difficult to predict, but business activi ties may be expected to be governed by unusual conservatism fcr some time to come. While a number of roads assert that the improvements already planned for will be carried out, there are many indications that retrenchment has al ready set in and this may eventually lead to a considerable reduction in the employment of labor.

There is no doubt that the uncom promising attitude of the interstate commerce commission has cast a re-. vere gloom over the entire railway In dustry which it is hoped may be some-,' what dispelled by future developments. At the present, however, railroad ofn-; ciajs have never been in a more cau-! tious or conservative mood, and in general, little in the way of expendi-; tures may be expected from them ex-) cept tnose wnicn are aosoiuieiy nec essary to keep their properties main tained at their present standard.

Railway Extensions and Improvements in New State. Guthrie. Ok.. March 15.-Relative to the announced plan of the Fort Smith Western railroad to build southwest from El Reno, Ok to a connection with the Orient near the Texas boundary line, an official of the company says: "me extension is oe ing seriously considered. When we bought the St. Louis, El Reno West ern, between Guthrie and El Reno, four years ago, It was with this exten sion in view. The road at present ends nowhere particularly, and we need both a better outlet and a better inlet. The most direct route would be through Anadarko and Mountain Park to Altus." The Commercial club of Lawton will try to interest the com pany to route the extension from Ana darko via Lawton. A contract has been let by the American Central Railway company. chartered In Arizona last December, to the Central Construction company to build a line from Vernon, Tex., across Oklahoma and through Olustee and Mangum; thence across the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle country to Hoover, Tex., a distance of 165 miles. The line will also touch Wheeler, Tex. The company was chartered with 118,000,000 capital for the purpose of building from Aransa Pass, Tex., northward to Pierre, S. D. The work on the first line will begin at Vernon and progress north. Grading is progressing on the Cher- ryvale, Texas Oklahoma road south east from Caney, Kf.n to Siloam Springs, Ark., and has been completed from Caney south into Oklahoma and as far as Delaware in Nowata county. The men are now at work between California Creek and the City of No wata. This is the road promoted by State Senator Porter of Kansas. The Commercial club of Frederick has offered a bonus of $15,000 in cash and guaranteed the right of way in Frederick to secure an extension of the Rock Island railroad from Chat tanooga, Ok., a distance ot twenty-five miles. The Rock Island had a stub line from Lawton to Chattanooga, and this Frederick wants extended. Grand- field also wants the extension. The Grandfleld Commercial club has been asked to subscribe a bonus of $50,000 to secure the western exten sion of the Lawton-Ardmore line, which is being promoted by Jake L. Hamon of Lawton through the Cor poration Development company of Philadelphia. Hamon has the road financed from Lawton to Ardmore via Duncarf, but desires to extend it east to Sherman, Tex., and west through Grandfleld. INCREASE IN IDLE CARS. Unprecedented Condition Shown hy the Latest lie port. Chicago, 111., March 15. An un precedented condition continues to mark the trend of railroad traffic in the United States and Canada, as indi cated by reported totals of surplus ireignt equipment, in that a steady in crease in the aggregate of 'idle cars is taking place during the opening months of the year. The natural trend of railroad traffic is to fall off in vol ume as the close of the year ap proaches, and after the crest of the fall activity has been passed, and then with the opening of ttu new year and a resumption of trade activity, for the number of idle cars again to fall off. The present year shows the exact con trary. In that since the beginning of January the increase in number of sur plus cars which set in last October has been unchecked. Since two weeks ago the total re ported for all railroads has mounted 17.064 to an aggregate of 192,673 cars, as of March 1, as indicated in the re port of the American Railway associ ation, bringing data down to that date. The increase is practically all in the eastern and middle groups of states. and is made up almost entirely of coal and gondola cars. The number of box cars idle, on the other hand, has re mained stationary since the first of the year, with a slight decrease In this bulletin, which seems to bear out the theory that the difference between the surplus this year and last year is due largely to milder weather conditions existing during the present winter, coupled with the increase in available equipment, which amounts to practi cally 100,000 cars, as compared with a year ago. ROADS WANT MORE TIME. Western Lines Ask Postponement of Long and Short Haul. Chicago. March 15. Western rail roads are to ask for more time in which to meet the ruling on the long and short haul clause of the Inter state Commerce Commission. A com mittee has been appointed by the Western Passenger association to con fer with members of the commission at Washington, and its members will leave Chicago with their request with in a short time. This committee is composed of Ger- rit Fort, passenger traffic manager of the Union Pacific; John Francis, gen eral passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy; W. J. Can non, assistant general passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul and B. H. Payne, general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific RAILWAY MOVING PICTURES. Frisco Is Fought by Attorneys in a Novel Manner. St. Louis. Mo., March 15. Motion pictures of a half mile stretch of the Frisco railroad track, between Pacific and Eureka, Mo., were shown in court here Tuesday as evidence in a suit for damages brought by Mrs. Nannie C Powell, on account of the death of her husband, who was run down by a pas senger train while walking the track July 23. 1806. Her attorneys contend that the ac cident was caused by the man being obliged to walk the tracks on account of the rough nature of the country. To offset this, the railroad's attorneys had a motion picture film made to show that there are paths en both sides of the track where the accident occurred. MAIL DIVISION IN DENVER. Colorado Town Railway Headquarters for District 14. Denver, Colo.. March 15. Assur ances have been received by the Chamber of Commerce ficm Washing ton that Denver will be selected by the postofflce department as general headquarters for the 'onrteenth rail way mail division. An appropriation for the establishment of a new divi sion headquarters in the west was March 4. Chey enne and Omaha were competitors of Denver for the headquarters. The appropriation made by congress will be available by July 1. There is no railway mail division between .Chi cago and St. Louis on the east, San Francisco and Seattle on the west, St. Paul on the north and Fort Worth on the south. The new division head quarters will handle the railway mail business in all of that vast territory. It will mean the employment of sev eral hundred people by the govern ment here. While Denver's selection is practi cally assured, the Chamber of Com merce will not let up in its work until the formal announcement In made. A set of resolutions setting forth Den ver's advantages as to location, facili ties and climate will be prepared and Disced "in the hands of Assistant fosi- master General Stewart. It is learned by the unamoer oi Commerce that Denver win not se cure a orancn omce oi me munounc commerce commission. RAILWAY NOTES. R,n-PBt!nns. coverlrur about 800 items will be considered by the official classi fication committee when it. meets in New York In April. The purpose of these is to bring about uniformity In descriptions of articles and regulations governing such points, as minimum weights ana packing requirements. An electric company has recently de veloped a new line of telephone cords designed especially to meet the severe conditions common to railroad work. After a thorough test in the company's laboratory a number of these cords were placed In actual service In order to insure their meeting the necessary service conditions. These tests proved satisfactory and the cords are now giv ing excellent service. The committee on additions to the R. R. Y. M C. A. are getting out their plans. It may be possible in the near future to see the association feeding 400 to 500 men each noon and after lunch to give them an entertainment concert, moving pictures and lectures. R. F. Whalen, assistant superintend ent of the Santa Fe Topeka shops, has moved into the office formerly occu pied by Superintendent Purcell. Mr. Whalen has appointed W. E. Butler, formerly shop clerk in Mr. Purceli's of- I flee, as his chief clerk. Butler started In the superintendent's office as stenographer to Frank Cain. The efforts of the railroads to correct the destructive work of tramps have been largely offset by the leniency dis played by the courts in dealing with them. The damage done by tramps to railroad property every year is esti mated at $25,000,000. The damage to private property which the tramps reach by railroad is considered far greater. If It were not for ride steal ing, is the assertion of the men who have spent years studyingthe vagrancy problem, the "hobo' could be practical ly put out of business. Free transpor- j tatlon is an absolute necessity. C. W. Kouns, general manager of the Santa Fe, will give a practical talk I on "The Problem of the Employee," j Tuesday evening, March 2L at 8 o'clock, at the R. R. Y. M. C. A. All employees of the general offices, shops and yards should hear this important subject discussed. The Missouri Pacific has recently Is sued two unusually artistio booklets descriptive of the Hot Springs of Ar kansas and the interesting points in and around San Antonio, Tex. Persons in Topeka who are not fond of children would better keep their bedroom doors shut, for the naughty stork is making another round, says the current issue of the Banfa,Fe Em ployee's magazine. H. R. Jansen, of the Santa Fe Insur ance inspector for the eastern lines, has had his duties extended over the western lines, and he will hereafter re port to General Manager Fox at Ama rillo as well as to General Manager Kouns at Topeka. His duties consist of checking the insurance policy and general Insurance and fire protection matters so far as railroad properties are concerned. Statistics show that without question Chicago Is the greatest railroad center in the world, far ahead of New York, Kansas City or St. Louis. There are twenty-three trunk lines entering the city from all directions, and twelve belt lines In and around the city, on which more trains, both freight and passenger, leave and arrive daily than in any other city in the world. The American Locomotive company. New York, has Issued bulletin No. 1008, giving the classification analysis and comparative heating values of different grades of coal. This bulletin is a con densed report of tests by the United States geological survey at the fuel testing plant at St. Louis, Mo., and is compiled with the Jdea of making a handy reference for railways. Thirty-two miles of the extension of the Cotton Belt on its main line from Gatesville to Hamilton, Tex has been completed, and connection established with the Stephensville line of 43 miles recently acquired. Through train ser vice from Waco to Stephensville has been established. Colds Cause Headchae. Laxative Bromo Quinine, the world wide cold and grip remedy removes cause. Call for full name.

HALL 6th and Jackson Street Admission 35c GO TO FINISH Wrestlers Totnorrow Night Have J.-.- to Win Two Falls. 1 Two Matches of Highest Class Middleweights. GION MILLLR Clash in Catch as Catch Can Bout at Grand. Lennett and Doctor the Second Attraction. George Gion. Dr. Chas. Lennett and Jim Doctor, three of the principals in the wrestling bill for tomorrow night, are here now and training for their bouts. Jack Miller has not yet ar rived, but has wired h will be on hand In the best of condition. This is the second wrestling event offered for the fans In Topeka and was promoted solely because of the great success of the first, the Hacken-schmidt-Westergaard match the night of the 7th. That match proved that Topeka harbored a great number of wrestling fans and inspired the man agement of the Grand theater to se cure further bouts. The two principal matches for Thursday night are of a lighter weight class than the former match, where both men weighed over the 210 mark. The heaviest of the quartet which will wrestle tomorrow night are Gion and Doctor, each of whom weighs 180 pounds. The headline match is that of George Gion and Jack Miller. Gion is a Nebraska wrestler whose home is at Aurora. He is a powerful man ana nas wrestled all over his own state and throughout the west. Miller is a remarkably well developed ath lete of New York and weighs 176 pounds. He has command of most of the tricks of the game as well as strength, His great specialty is that of headspinning and probably has worked the trick to the highest effi clency of any wrestler. By this trick he can break the most powerful holds, flinging his feet into the air and whirl ing on his head. This match at nearly even weights ought to prcve a fast one and is a finish match of two falls. The second match will be little less in class, both of the men having al ready won considerable fame on the mat. Dr. Lennett, whose home is In Lincoln, but who has announced a de termination to make Topeka his fu ture headquarters, is eight pounds shy the weight of his adversary, Jim Doc tor, whose home is at Belleville. Doc tor has been wrestling in Illinois and is regarded as one of the best at his weight. Both are experienced in the mat game and are anxious to annex a victory. Lennett's hardest opponent to date has been Westergaard. The big Swede labored with him for 25 min utes and Anally pulled a shoulder out of place. That incident has kept Len nett off the mat for nearly a year. This bout la another finish match of two falls. Inasmuch as these matches are to go to. a finish, they will be more satis factory to the larger number of fans than was the higher class bout of last week. In the handicap events, one of the wrestlers need only be on the defensive to win the match and that was the game played by Westergaard. He won it and his followers were de lighted. But the admirers of the mighty Hackenschmidt were dissatis fied, as was Hack himself. After the time was called and he had failed to throw the giant Swede, the Russian Lion grew somewhat peeved and com plained that in a few more minutes he would have won. Since that date he has been getting finish matches only. Spencer Abbott, who refereed the Hackenschmidt bout, has agreed to of ficiate again. 4TH STATE LEAGUE FORMED. Will Be Called the Southeastern Kan sas Baseball League. Pittsburg, Kan.. March 15. The Southeastern Kansas Baseball league was organized. C. J. Ball of Fort Scott was elected -president and treasurer, and Charles Elliott of Mulberry, vice president and secretary. The Southeastern league is a four club affair and Pittsburg, Fort Scott, Mulberry, Mineral and Scammon hold the franchises. The latter two towns will control a team jointly. A sched ule calling for thirty games, starting May 7 and ending October 1, was adopted. Only Saturday, Sunday and holiday games are to be played. The owners of the franchises are: Pittsburg. Sam Holden and Oscar Ward; Fort Scott. Fred Ury; Mulber ry, Charles Elliott, and Mineral and Scammon, E. F. Renfrow, Johnny Beckman, of Frontenac, represented Pittsburg at the meeting. He is to manage the local club during the sea son. The Southeastern league is not to be affiliated with any of the other base ball associations and is to play inde pendent ball. The owner of each franchise posted a forfeit of $25 with the treasurer as a guarantee that he would finish the season. The pennant winning team will get the $100 at the close of the season. WATERLOO SAVED THIS TIME. President of Three I Leane Invites Them to Schedule Meeting. Chicago, March 15. The Waterloo, la., baseball club won the final round of Its fight to retain a place in the Three I league. Its victory was tacitly admitted when Al Tearney. president of the league, issued a call for a meeting here Wednesday, notifying Waterloo of the meeting and neglecting to in vite the Quincy, 111., club to send a representative. President Tearney al ready has received word from each of the eight clubs that representatives will attend. A playing schedule for 1911, with Waterloo given its full number of games, probably will be adopted, and the proposed appeal from an injunc tion which the Waterloo club has pending against Tearney and other club members will be discussed. WKSTKRZIL OUT FOR SEASON. Wichita Player Injured Knee In Tiger Training Camp. -Wichita, March 15. "Tex" Wester ail will not be able to play baseball this summer. Tex" hurt his knee in the first few "days of spring prac tice and was sent to his home in San Antonio to recover. The knee had to be placed in a cast and it will not be strong enough to stand any hard usage this summer. It was sure hard luck for "Tex" as he looked good to Jennings and it was thought that he would make a steady place with the Tigers. HAVE CHAMPION INFIELD. Cardinals Inner Circle Said to Be Best in National League. St. Louis, March 15. Roger Bres nahan will start the 1911 campaign with the best Infield in the National league. There was a time when the Chicago Cubs had the chamnion in field of major league baseball, but that day is past. "Steiny" and Chance are slipping back and Evers broke his leg last fall and may never "come back." The New York infield is the only combination in the National league mat compares favorably with the St, Louis quartet. And no wise baseball manager would trade Koney, Hug gins, Hauser and Mowrey for Merkle. Doyle, Bridwell and Devlin. Bridwell may be a more valuable ball player right now than Hauser, but on the other hand, Koney lays over Merkie like a stake horse compared with a selling plater. Huggins is the best second baseman in the National league for general value to his club on his 1910 form, but weMI admit-for the sake of argu ment that Doyle, is a better man than Huggins on account of his youth and superior hitting. Then comes Mowrey and Devlin. Here the shoe fits on the other foot. Devlin was the premier third baseman of baseball until 1910,, when Byrne and Mowrey gave-him a terrific tussle for the honors. Over in New York they still, swear by Devlin; down In Pittsburg they contend that Byrne is the king of them all; but in the other cities of the circuit they give the crown to Mike Mowrey. Mike will outhit Devlin and is a surer man on defense than Byrne. Then he is young, a comer, and will be playing major league ball which Devlin is through. A great many keen base ball men flamr. thjit MTlp-am Vi a j airtight Infield of the National league, j Dut compare the Giant combination with the Cardinal stone wall, man for man. and then ask yourself fairly and squarely, if Koney alone Isn't worth any two mert on the New York list? Manager Bresnahan and his troupe of Cardinals arrived home last night from West'Baden and will spend the remainder of the training season right here in St. Louis, performing twice daily,' weather' permitting, out at League park. M'FAKLAND WINS OVEH. MORAN Outpointed Englishman Throughout Their 10-Round Bout. New York. March 15. "Packy" Mc Farland, the Chicago lightweight, out pointed Owen Moran, claimant to. the English lightweight championship, at every stage of their 10-round fight be fore the Falrmount Athletic dub here last nia-ht. It was a clean, hard fought battle throughout,, in which the Chicago boy fully demonstrated his superiority in boxing over- the EngliFhman. Me Farland was always there .with a clean punch and when .Moran reached for him he found the Chicago boy most elusive. Both fighters were weighed in at 135 pounds at 5 o'clock, but those at the ringside gave the Chicago man a slight advantage in weight when the fight began. t. i McFarland depended chiefly on body blows, reaching Moran right and left below the heart. At close quar ters he had a distinct advantage over thd Englishman. Neither suffered much from punish ment until the seventh, when McFar land reached Moran with stiff body blows anj sent him reeling twice across the ring to the ropes; Follow ing this with two rights to the Jaw, he had Moran staggering and the crowd began to cheer the Chicago fighter. But Moran rallied and came back for more. Moran worked his wide left swing for all there was in it and did his most effective work after the manner of Knockout Brown. Occasionally Mc Farland got in a right to the head, but principally he kept hammering at Moran's body, right, left with vicious punches. Although outclassed, Moran put up a good fight and gave McFarland a stiff go, but could not land. McFar land time and again Jumped away from his punches with a smile of as surance. SOLUTION FOR WATERLOO ROW President Sexton of National Associa tion Would Save Three I League. .Rock Island, 111., March 15. A compromise by which the trouble threatening to disrupt the Three I league may be averted was proposed today by President M. H. Sexton of the National association, who suggest ed that Waterloo be kept In the circuit for 1911. but that the league disband at the end of the season. Mr. Sexton proposed that the fac tion showing the largest attendance during the coming season be allowed to retain the league name and organi zation. The league will hold a meet- Ths Girl With The Auburn Hair Always on Hand at George W. Stans field's, 682 Kansas Ave., and Scores of Intelligent Men and Women Know All About Her.

S .S. is so successful in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison is that this medicine strengthens and builds up the stomach and digestive members while it is purifying the blood. A great many of the medicines used in treating Contagious Blood Poison are composed largely of Mercury and Potash, and are recom mended to the sufferer because they are intended to dry up or remove the humiliating outward symptoms. But such treatment cannot cure the disease, and its continued use will often so weaken and disease the stomach as to make a nervous wreck of the patient. And too, when these mineral medicines are left off the smouldering poison takes on new life, and soon the old symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, brown scaly splotches, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc., return with increased virulence. Then the disease makes more rapid headway because the weakened system offers less resistance to its ravages. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison and it does so by purifying the blood and keeping the stomach and digestive members in perfect condition all the while by its fine tonic effects. S. S. S. Is a purely vegetable remedy, made from the extracts and juices taken from natural roots, herbs and barks it does not contain a particle of mineral in any form. S. S. S. cures on the principle that not only must the poison be removed from the blood, but the circulation must also be enriched and vitalized with nourishing powers. S. S. S. is known everywhere as the greatest of all blood purifiers. and a safe and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poison. When S.S. S. has cleansed the Diooa or tne virus, tne cure is complete and permanent; there are no dregs left smouldering in the system to break out in future years. The testimony of persons who have been cured of Con tagious Blood Poison by the use of S. S. S. is a far better adver tisement than anything we could write concerning the. merits of this well known blood medicine. What they say is founded on personal knowledge, and any sufferer from this trouble can be assured when he reads the state ments of these people that he is learning the truth about S. S. S. from those whose" only desire is to help others afflicted as they once were. -We know S. S. S; will cure Contagious Blood Poison because we have watched it successfully perform this work for more than forty years, but we want you to know what others say of S. S. S. In order that sufferers may fully inform themselves of the virtue of S. S, S. in curing the disease,' we hope everyone who reads this article will write for our free book on Contagious Blood Poison. This book contains the experience of many men and women who have used S. S. S. Read this book and we believe you will be convinced that S. S. S. is all we claim for It If you wish any special medical advice about your case write us and we will be glad to furnish it together with our. Home Treatment Book, free of charge.

DRIVER IS CHOSEN COACH. Athletic Director Win Direct the Blue Football Team and Others. Washburn has raised W. L. Driver, athletic director, to the position of coach for all athletics. The action came last evening when final terms were agreed upon. The stipulation Is for the present withheld. The engagement of Driver to coach all athletics Bettles first of all the mat ter of a football coach which has wor ried the college since the close of last season. Whether it is good for them or not, the college wants In the Mis souri "Valley conference and has sought to comply with provisions of a profes sor of all things athletic. Driver suits this requirement better than any one whom the authorities could get a line on. In the first place, he made a good football machine out of the scrub bunch last season and kept them together throughout the season, winning games. Next, beside conducting all men'j gymnasium work, he coached the Varsity basketball team and put the five in line for the state championship of colleges. It was this feat whlcii proved his ability to the board. Fur thermore, as manager of the season, he made It pay out. This is said to be the first time any athletic team paid expenses at the college. The football schedule he has arrangel is regard as the best Washburn has ever had. Driver is a graduate of Missouri uni versity where he was the crack end of the Tigers' football history. There he assisted In gymnasium Instruction and later had charge of the athletics at Central high school, Kansas City. Change Player Contract Date. Cincinnati, O., March 15.

Adjutant General Gardner W. Pearson of the Massa chusetts .militia, in a statement made at his home in Lowell, announced late lat nigtit that preparations have been made by the Massachusetts militia to respond to a call to duty in connection with the present maneuvers on th5 Mexican border. He said that the en tire state militia could be mobilized within 24 hours. Company commanders have been "unofficially" notified of the possibilities and have been told to weed out their dead wood and recruit each company to 63 men fit for field work. All militia regiments which are with out regularly constituted wagon trains have been directed to secure options on neavy wagons. General Pearson explained these preparations by declaring- that it is not unlikely tnat the state trooos will hold their annual tour of duty in Texa3 within a month. Inquiries as to the preparedness of the state militia were made from Washington recently, the general add ed. His reply was that the militia was ready to take the field instantly. MYSTERY IS CLEARED. Mrs. Feltdrappie Admits Killing Child Tried to Kill Self. Clinton, Conn., March 15. Mystery surrounding the burning or the home of Alfred Feltdrappie In Killingworth this week, and the disappearance of his wife and 3-year-old daughter has has been cleared by the finding of Mrs. Feltdrappie and her confession to the medical examiner that she "had wrung the neck of her daughter and locked her in the house." After killing her child, she savs she attempted to kill herself by pounding r head with a hammer and then tried to cut her throat, but the knife was too dull. Later she went to the Hammonasett river and jumped in, but could not stay in the cold water. She says she does not remember setting fire to the house. In the opinion of the medical exam iner, the woman is insane. Her body is terribly bruised by her attempts at suicide, and physicians say her condi- aition is serious. BROKE ALL RECORDS. Sixty-Two Ships Arrive in New York In 48 Hours. New York; March 15. The rxirt of New York has broken all records dur ing the past two days for the number of steamship arrivals within 48 hours. There has been what steamship men describe as almost a continuous pro cession of vessels passing in the Nar rows since Monday and the grand to- i tal net tonnage for the two days is more than 250,000 tons. Thirtv-one steamships arrived on Monday with a tonnage of 145,000, and thirty-three j on Tuesday with a tonnage of 115,000. I In this number there was not an ex- I press passenger steamship nor a single one of the giant ocean liners. The majority of the arrivals were freight! steamships from nearly every part of the globe and their cargoes were of the most miscellaneous character. JOIN U. S. SERVICE. Thousands of Young Men Enlist Now. Eager to New York, March 15. Statistics gathered at the army and Jiavy re cruiting stations In New York city and suburban towns show that thousand? of young men have suddenly developed an eagerness to Join Uncle Sam's ser vice. The daily number of applicants for enlistment has more than doubled since the orders were issued for the mobilization of 20,000 troops along the Mexican border. During the first ten days of March. more than 2,000 men applied in the city to Join the armv. This total is nearlv doubled by the applications received in j suburban towns. The applications for service in the navy are about half as numerous as those for the army. Conditions for entering both branches of the service are being maintained very strictly, however, and only about 10 per cent of the applicants are ac cepted. SLEPT ON COFFINS. Two Tramp Printers Lived in Vault at Cemetery. Nyack, N. Y., March 15. Two men, describing themselves as tramp print ers, are under arrest here, charged by the police with having made their home for the greater part of the win ter in a vault in the Rockland ceme tery. The men are said to have lived for nearly three months in the dark, damp room, measuring ten by twelve feet. Their improvised bed of straw and blankets was spread upon two coffins and funeral urns afforded a store house for their food. v CRUISER WASHINGTON IN N. Y. Made Record Run From Portsmouth on Way to Coa st. New Tork, March 15. The armored cruiser Washing-ton is in New York harbor today, after a record run from Portsmouth, M.

The Washington was undergoing re pairs at the Portsmouth navy yard when orders came for her trip south ward. The repairs -were rushed by working all the available men over time and as soon as her bunkers could be filled with coal, 'she started for New Tork.

Mr. S. S. Johnson, Greenville, 111., writes: ji "I was for five years troubled with catarrh. Two years ago I had one foot in the grave. I had tried seven doctors and also went to a catarrh specialist in St. Louis, and took several kinds of medicine a day. I could i not walk mora than a hundred yards without resting.

"Traveling from town to town throughout the country, and having to go into all kinds of badly heated stores and buildings, sometimes stand ing up for hours at a time while ply ing my trade as auctioneer, it is only natural that I had colds frequently; so when this would occur I paid little at tention to it, until last December, when I contracted a severe case, which, through neglect on my part, settled on my lungs.

The State Journal a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great newa or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news la received in The State Jour nal building ever wires for this sole pur pose. Good news for the lawyers: An ap-; pralsement of Mrs. Eddy's estate fixes Its value at $2,512,146. Of a truth does every dog have its nay. The peanut trade is brisker in the United States than ever before. It wouldn't be at .all surprising if a few of the over-patriotic citizens pro tasted against planting of specimens of foreign trees in the city parks. .Walter L. Fisher, having been sworn In as secretary of the Interior, has finally started on his troublous way. He'll soon find out how difficult it is for a public servant to please every body. Those "persons who say they never believe anything they see in the news papers will probably make an excep tion of the dispatches from Mexico which relate that President Diaz Is a very busy man these days. The common drinking cup has been abolished in hotels by an order of the state board of health. And there is no more reason why such utensils should be permitted in hotels than in rail road trains and stations. Already has the registration record for Topeka been broken. One more day is left, however, during whioh It can be smashed to smithereens. It's up to the qualified voters in town to do their full duty In the premises. Especially distinguished will be the services of John Hays Hammond as special ambassador from the United States to the coronation of King George of England. He has contracted to pay a rent of $10,000 a week for a London mansion while the festivities are in progress. The local campaign for the mayoralty nominations has reached the brass band stage, in competition perhaps with the evangelistic meetings and the accustomed activities of the Salvation Army. If music will help to save souls, there is no good reason why it should not help to make votes. Aa usual Kansas is forehanded in the preparations for possible military ac tivity by the state's national guard. The medical staff of the guard has re ceived orders to be prepared for ser vice. During a war sickness works more havoc among soldiers than does the enemy's bullets. Only three more days are left dur ing which the registration record for the city can be broken. There are plenty of men and women qualified to register who can break this record if they wiir only take the trouble to perform their public duty in this par ticular. Despite the laborious efforts of the foreign correspondents, it will be pret ty hard for most people in this coun try to get enthusiastic and excited over the trial now in progress in Italy of the 11 members of the Neapo litan Camorra who are accused of having terrorized Italy for many years. Prom the plans that have been made, it is apparent that the coming building season In Topeka will be one of unusual activity. As a matter of fact more building work has been un der way In this city during all of the winter months than was in progress during the summer months not so many years ago: That you can't keep a good man down Is accepted on all sides as being the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And the same is true of a good city. Sociological societies and public auth orities all over the country should Join in the crusade which has been begun in New Tork city against the display of moving pictures in darkened thea ters and halls. A system has been de vised whereby such pictures can be shown to Just as good, and even better advantage, in places that are as light as day or as light as Is the average theater during ordinary theatrical per formances. Evil lurks in dark places and many kinds of it flourish in the darkened moving picture houses. During the first few months of his tenure of office much criticism was lodged against Attorney General Wick ersham. He was styled as a corpora tion attorney and a close friend of "interests." But it has v..- gradually dawned on about every one in the country that Mr. Wlckersham is quite the moat successfully active attorney general that the United States has ever I had in his proceedings against the K.A that have a predilection for following anything but 1 i the straight and narrow path. The most recent instance of Mr. Wicker sham's insistence that he will not tern-! porize with offending corporations is developed which are at present un his insistence that there will be no known to the public; or our, govern compromise in the criminal proceedings which have been instituted against the officers of the "bath tub trust." If they have any rights they will have to fight for them. WASHBURN'S CAMPUS. Atralnst the assertion that it is no possible concern of the public if the trustees of Washburn college should decide to despoil the college property by selling a considerable strip off the eastern side of the beautiful campus, the fact may be set that the people of Topeka from time to time have been liberal and generous in donating funds for the support and development of the college. This money has been cheerfully, given to the college to be disposed of as it saw fit, but it cer tainly gives Topekans more than a passing interest in the affairs of the college. They consider Washburn col lege one of the great show places in the city and one of its best advertise ments. They have helped in their small way to make it so. And there fore, many of them may well be par doned for voicing protests against the dismemberment of the college prop erty. These protests are also coming in volumes from the alumni of this In stitution. Theirs is a voice that should have some weight. The progress and development of the college is dear to their hearts. For many sentimental reasons the part of the campus It Is proposed to get rid of is held in high regard. Without it Washburn would not be the Washburn of their mem ories. They would be more than apt to lose interest in their alma mater If a particular portion of it where they reveled in their pranks were cut off and turned over to real estate men and house builders. Nor i It possible that a string of back yards abutting in rather close proximity to the col lege buildings and the remaining cam pus would add anything to their at tractiveness. Some of the alumni have suggested they would much prefer to canvass their fellows for a subscription that would equal the price that the col lege would receive for the part of the campus Its trustees have been think ing of selling. And if such a plan. could be brought to a head the trus tees should hesitate about taking speedy action in the matter of the sale of this section of the campus. If i: I Washburn Is hard pressed for funds it does seem that they could be obtained from the wealthy people of the land who are giving so freely of their largesse for the development and sup port of higher educational Institu tions. Of course, money will not be received from such sources unless it is gone after. Washburn is quite as worthy an educational institution as there is In the entire country. Its field is a large one. That many peo pie of means would become interested In its welfare, if the possibilities and the needs of the institution were pre sented to them there can be no doubt. And this work does not properly be long to the president of the college. It should be carried on by a fiscal agent of high standing who should work under the direction of the board of trustees. BUSINESS PROSPECTS GOOD. All of the financial and trade ex perts of the country have reported j during the past week that the activity In the general business world is not as brisk Just now as it was during a cor responding period of last year. But they are also agreed that there is a better undertone and the prospects for the immediate future are bright, and this despite the possibility of tariff tinkering during the special session of congress, which is less than a month away. Henry Clews, the New Tork banker, discusses the business situation along these lines in his current week ly financial review as follows: "General business continues quiet and smaller in volume than a year ago. There is, however a perceptibly better undertone. Some hesitation is caused by prospects of an attempt to revise the tariff at the special session intended for the reciprocity bill. That session should confine its attention strictly to the object for which it was called, the passing of the Canadian re ciprocity bill, and any general stirring up of tariff agitation is to be thor oughly deprecated. Political condi tions, however, are unfavorable to any real or radical changes at least until after another presidential election.- It is understood that the woolen and cot ton schedules will be .attacked and possibly steel during the special ses sion, but it is doubtful if any very Im portant changes will be effected. There is, therefore, no reason for un due anxiety on account of tariff changes. The same amount of food and clothing and shelter will be re quired whether there be tariff agita tion or not- and such demands will ultimately, have to be satisfied. Any postponement of contracts made on account of the tariff will simply have to be made up later on. "There is more or less hesitation arising out of the somewhat spectac ular Mexican situation. At this writ ing there is no occasion for taking alarm. Should the Mexican govern ment show itself incapable of putting down the Insurrection, it may be nec essary to call upon American forces to restore order. Under such contin gencies it is pre-eminently our duty to undertake that task. Tt is also our duty to prevent aid to the insurrection from the United States. Mexico Is our near neighbor. American interests there are very Important, estimated at a billion, to a billion and a half of dol lars. Our Monroe doctrine imposes upon us certain obligations which it is fitting we should be prepared to carry out, especially as foreign countries might have to interfere if we did not. It follows that if we are unwilling to ee foreign powers protect their lnter- esta in Mexico by force, we must as- aume that responsibility ourselves. It is evident that some difficulties have ment would not have -undertaken to make auch an energetic, display of force as it has done during the past week. In all probability this presenta tion of a firm front will tend to solve the nroblem more oromntlv.

No matter what his Job may be al most every man has more or less complaint to make about it. Some girls who say they will get married as soon as Mr. Right comes their way wait so long they get left. It doesn't take much to gratify the ambition of many folk, especially when it concerns getting their pictures in the newspapers.

People who have voices that could easily be used for automobile horns are generally so unfortunate as not to have automobiles. JAYHAWKER JOTS It's a wonder that there are not more newspapers, says the Jamestown Op timist everybody knows how to run one. The Emporia Gazette calls attention to the fact that if Senator Bailey reads the newspapers he must be convinced that he failed to make a fait with his fake resignation. If the churches were run on the pay-as-you-enter plan, said a country parson to the Downs Times, I am afraid there would not be many strap hangers in the Zion cars. As the Lawrence Journal-World sizes It up: The Missouri Pacific had a leak at both ends. At the head the Goulds were pouring money into the rotten nobility; at the bottom the con ductors were knocking down fares. No wonder the president had to resign. The Independence Reporter Is partic ular to state that the wildcat which appeared near Humboldt recently and was captured, proved to be a lynx. Well, what's the difference?

I'll tell you, my friend, you could avoid a whole lot of worry if you would .nanage to keep busy, writes Deacon Walker in his Osborne Farmer. Busy people don't have time to worry. If you have nothing else to do. Just try minding your own business good and hard for a few days. That is enough to keep anybody busy. The busier you keep yourself the less you will worry. Incidentally, the busier you are the less other people will worry about you. Tou know there is an old saying that the devil always finds something for idle hands to do. Generally, too, when the old fellow puts anybody to work It is at sometfilng that finally gets them Into trouble. If you keep busy at hon est labor you won't have to scratch matches in every powder house you happen to walk through. Neither will you have time to pour kerosene out o a can onto a bonfire. But ll you are idle you will run across powder houses and" bonfires at every corner. The bad fellow puts them out as traps for idle fellows to run into. The more you loaf and look, the more traps you will find. That has been the history of every fellow who failed to keep busy and you are no smarter than those who have gone before. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Don't be a small potato. It never gets to the top of the heap. The gift of gab sometimes merely enables a fellow to give himself away. Any tramp will tell you that a dog in the manger is worth two in the front yard. A woman is apt to make counter charges against her husband when she goes shopping. Wlgg Bighedde thinks he is the whole thing. Wagg So does the mid dle part of a doughnut. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," quoted the Wise Guy. "So do presents," added the Simple- Mug. There Is nothing so fatal to our il lusions as to go behind the scenes in a theater, unless it is to go Into the kitchen of a cheap restaurant. Blobbs When Blgwad was a boy everybody predicted that he would wind up in Jail, and now he is a mem ber of the legislature. Slobbs Oh, well, give him time. Bigwad is a young man yet. "And why do you think," asked the president, "that you would be an or nament to the diplomatic corps?"

He Is a wise dentist who can quiet his wife's Jaw. Instead of hoping for the best, get busy and hustle for it Try discounting your burdens by counting your blessings Many a girl marries in haste and repents in the divorce court. He who does what he can may soon be able to do what he would. The successful speculator watches the corners and keeps out of them. And some men make a specialty of hunting for easy temptations to resist. Many a young lawyer falls to make good because he practices at the wrong bar. In going down the stream of life the average man tries to make a noise like a motor boat. The man who does nothing himself Is never at a loss when it comes to advising others what to do.

It -is charged with having attacked a horse, under a misunderstanding and the horse- Is In the hospital. Tha friends and asso ciates of the bulldog are greatly as tonished, for the animal is a family pet, and is .celebrated for his noble qualities of mind and heart. The Gazette has no personal ac quaintance with- the bulldog in ques tion, having little time for society, but It has no use for bulldogs of any de scription, and is firmly of the opinion that alt dogs of that breed should be expunged from the record. They are aa dangerous as rattlesnakes, and should never be permitted at large in any town where people have to walk the streets. The individual bulldog may go through life without giving his savage instincts free play; but the savage in stincts always are-there; no amount of petting and bluerlbboning can change his nature. His ancestors were used for bull-baiting and waded in gore from infancy to old age. He has an inherited passion for blood and strife, and when he once takes hold he never lets go. The bulldog that licks your hand today may fly at your throat tomorrow, in which case may God help you. The bulldog is a born pessimist. His nature never belies his ugly, brooding, malevolent visage. He may wag hia stump of a tall and cock up his misbegotten red eyes in a vain ef fort to convince the people that he is a humorist, but down in his sour, sat urnine soul he hates everything and everybody, and he hopes to kill some body before he dies. His temper is uncertain, his purposes and emotions inscrutable. Tou never know wheth er he is amused or angry. If hyenas or wolves roamed the streets of a town they would be-less dangerous than so many bulldogs. They are cowards, and will run if you turn upon them. The bulldog won't run; he doesn't have to. No man should be permitted to keep a bulldog In a civilized community, unless he keep a dead one. No man. living in a civilized com munity, needs a bulldog, any more than he needs a gatling gun on his front porch. The bulldog is an anachronism and should be suppressed. Emporia Ga zette. MORE ARMT ENGINEERS. It is pleasing to note that the river and harbor act of thL year provides for increases in the army corps of engineers. A total of sixty new offi cers is allowed, but the increase is to be distributed over a period of five years, so there will be only twelve new officers a year!, The total number to be named in the five-year period will include five colonels, six lieuten ant colonels, nineteen majors, seven teen captains and thirteen first lieu tenants. Civilians will take special inte?est in these increases for. the reason that, generally speaking, they are thrown into closer contact with the engineers than any other army officers. The en gineers are the men who take charge of the government work being done in all parts of the nation. Moreover, the work of the engineers, which, if any thing, is greater in times of peace than in war is invariably of a nature cal culated bjiogsona.wL.beneflts upon, the country ajUaJBrLeavenworth Times. FROM OTHER PENS TIME TO PROPOSE. The London papers wearying of pol itics, have fallen into a controversy as to the time at which a man should propose marriage. The briefest an swer so far given to the question is: "At the earliest opportunity." But there has come forward a certain Lady Troubridge with a suggestion more amplified as well as more orig inal than that. She would have men propose by daylight only, and at that preferably before breakfast, at the hour when the human being is sup posed to be at the worst. In making this suggestion Lady Troubridge does not feel that she Is advocating anything which will work against the ancient custom of marry ing and giving in marriage. She does not feel that the adoption of her idea would deplete the strength of the em pire. She feels, rather, that it would strengthen the social fabric. Lady Troubridge holds that among the causes of unhappy marriages there Is none more general than the pro posal by moonlight, or in the soft evening glow that illuminates the con servatory, that haven in which the loved and lover escape the crowded ballroom. In the unromantic day light, she believes, thousands of men who should not propose would hold their tongues,, for by daylight they look on life as it is, and the fear of consequences enters their hearts. Cleveland Plain Dealer. COLLEGE BRED WHEAT, ETC. A farmers' institute lecturer out west tells his brethren that they should plant no wheat unless it was "college bred." By the use of this seed, he says, the yield has increased from 40 to 60 bushels an acre. This is testimony to the good sense in studying the essentials of scientific farming. Learning is a good thing every where. It would help out our orchards amazingly and raise steadier and bet ter crops of apples. It would encour age the poultry yards to yield a better output of eggs, even through the win ter. "Nearly everything good, one can taste the brains in.

Ohio State Journal. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From--the New- Tork Press. There's a lot of gasoline wasted in family arguments. It seems as if women would rather be married than happy. The more people can talk about the weather the less they can think about useful things. A man who will describe others as not knowing enough' to come in out of the rain will himself, not have sense enough to quit speculating. What you like about a woman Is you never know what she is going to do; and what' you dont like about a man is sometimes you do know. j WHEN SPRING COMES..

(By Martha McCulloch Williams.) "I wish Dallas began, half turning away his eyes. "A woman sighs: 'I wish!' A man should say: 'I will.' Helen May quoted, mischievously yet with a faint flush. Dallas laughed uneasily. "If I could will, I would have no need to wish," he said. "Indeed! Can't you tell me the wonderful wish?" Helen asked. He shook his head, but irresolutely. "Tou wouldn't understand," he murmured, sighing faintly after the last word. "Wouldn't I? What a stupid I must be!" Helen laughed, pretending to pout afterward. Dallas got up and walked the length of the room. At the fireplace he said abruptly over his shoulder: "I wish I had never seen you or else could marry you." "Whether or no?" Helen countered, her eyes dancing. He turned short about. "Mock me! All you like!" he said. "Tou knew from the beginning I wasn't free to choose. Marcia's father made me but for him I should never have got a start. I've paid the money insisted on it the first minute I could. But gratitude! Heavens! All I am or ever shall be, won't begin to pay that. And he has set his heart on having me in the family Marcia herself acquiesces I doubt if she greatly cares." "Tou are wrong. She does care,' Helen said also arising. "Tou are as much an outward and visible sign of her father's wealth and consequence as her motor or her tiara." "And nothing more? Lord! If I thought so Dallas began. Helen put up her hand imperative ly for silence. "That was a horrid speech truth generally is," she said. "Forget it, please It makes no dif ference and remembering will only hurt." "Notwithstanding I shall remem ber," Dallas said, his voice low and hoarse. Helen went a pace toward him. "A wise man would marry Marcia out of hand," she said. "She is so handsome, her bridegroom cannot fail to be fond of her." "I am fond of her so fond I thought I loved her until you came into my life," Dallas said, a little -shake' W'hlsvierw. -4 Helen's- eyes met. his long gaze steadily. "Are you sure you know what love is? she asked clearly. '"If I loved, neither heights nor depths,- nor principalities nor powers, nor any earthly things could come be tween me and my beloved." "I see. you despise me as a coward," Dallas said,' half turning away. "No nothing more than a wise, a very wise person," she answered, a little bitterly. "Prove the wisdom by leaving me at once." Dallas could have caught her to his breast she pushed him away, point ing silently to the door. As it closed behind him she sank down, shaken with gusty sobs. She had hoped he would stay in spite of everything here as everywhere. Fate stood Marcia's friend. It was hard. Marcia was her cousin once removedbig, slow, splendid, phlegmatic. Helen herself was a bit of human quicksilver she had not meant to let herself really love Dallas. The affair had begun, indeed, in her determination to show that once, if no more. she could triumph over Marcia. Marcia had everything money, friends, the love of a real man, even though she was not going to mar ry him. And as the wife of Dallas she would have honors perhaps almost the highest in the land. Already men spoke of him as the darling of the gods. Things came to nim, unasxea, apparently, that other men sought through toilsome years, yet never found. He was rising, thirty-five if was part of the situation that, disre garding all temptations, he had waited to match himself with hl benefactor's daughter. He had played with her, a dimpled, rather heavy creature, had watched her grow into an ugly big girl, and later a magnificent woman. She had accepted him as part of the picture since she was ten she had said placidly to all talk of her future: "I am going to marry Eugene, so he can really belong to daddy." Then had come the episode of Doctor Ware the last man in the world one would have thought to go down before her. He was as big, as vital as she was moreover, quite as rich. Science had been his ruling passion until one day he woke sud denly to the fact of Marcia. There after, for three months, he had been her shadow she had made his world indeed. When It came to an end with her soft spoken "No,"- he had flung himself anew into work hos pital work, and hlghlv paid. He gave afc-ay,. though, each month more than thrice his salary. Thfrefeirft it was Into hin tinnria Dallas, almost mortally hurt, fell I within an hour from the time he quitted Helen. He was unconscious, barely breathing, his heart beats the merest ghost of pulsation. Doctor Ware grew nearly as pale hold him self as hard as ihe might, he could not quite push to' the back of his mind the thought of what might be possible if Eugene Dallas were thus removed from his path. Because of the thought he fought for Dallas' life as he had hardly ever fought before. Tet after three hours the issue was still so doubtful he felt constrained to send for Marcia. Marcia came with her father. She knelt beside the wounded man, her warm, vital fingers clasping his livid ones. But there was no wild grief in her eyes, though they- misted over whiles. "Poor Gene," she murmured softly, laying- her- scarlet lips against his cheek. "Dear Gene! Come back to us. We we can't spare you." She reached for his other hand, and drew it to her brea3t, then nes tled it softly in the hollow -of her throat. For the first time since he had come from under the anesthetic, Dallas stirred, moaning faintly. Doctor Ware stepped to Marcia's elbow. "Tou had better io eow," he whispered. "Tou can come back after a little when he is fully con scious." Marcia shook her head. She knelt, statute-like, now gripping both the wounded man's hands. It was as if she held him back from a chasm of destruction. Once or twice she spoke his name,- but so softly Ware alone heard it. "Tou had better go," he repeated at last seeing a faint flicker of the eyelids. Dallas muttered Inaudibly his lips had more color they began to be dry. Ware moistened them deli cately., Dallas turned his head the least bit, muttering again. Marcia spoke to him low but strongly, and so clearly it might have pierced the ear of death Itself. "Tou are coming back to us! To life," she said. Then in a thrilling voice. "Tell me what is it you want The flicker of the eyelids strength ened still they did not lift. Marcia bent closer so close she alone caught the murmured name "Helen." Still she knelt, still she held the languid hands, but now her eyes were not misty a radiance lit them that burned away the mists. Over her shoulder she whispered to Doctor Ware:. "Send for Helen Helen May. He will know her because lie loves her." Until Helen came a long, long hour she kept her place, soothing and strengthening Dallas. It seemed indeed she was saving him, pouring Into him her own superabundant life. And when Helen came she got up, pushed the other into her place, then flung herself impetuously upon Ware's breast, almost sobbing. "I tried so hard to do right it took almost death to show me that Instead I was doing wrong." (Copyright 1911 by Associated Literary Press.) Czar Now an Editor.

LOSS USUALLY SMALL. Forbes Bros. Mill Was One Ex-ceptlon. Other Items of Interest on 7 North Side. The first annual report made by the fire department under the commission form of government comprising the last nine months shows that the loss from fires on the North side for this time is $13,494.19, r nearly half of the total $28,408 loss for the whole city of Topeka. The total number of fires north of the river was 20, averaging over two fires a month. With the ex ception of the Forbes mills fire which the record shows was a loss of over $12,000, May 14, 1910, when the mill was destroyed, and when the James Dur kin residence at 125 West Railroad street burned October 26 at a loss of $214.19, and a few other instances, the damage from the fires has been small, from $3 to $10. In most instances the causes have been defective flues, and gasoline ex plosions. The records show no fires in August, September and December. November leads with seven cases of fire. This is probably due to the fact that in this month winter stoves are being put up and the making of fires for the first time since early spring reveals the weak places in the flues which have developed since these chimneys have been last used. In speaking of fires north of the river this morning Chief Wilmarth said that he hoped whoever sent in an alarm from that part of Topeka, in case the fire was on a street running north or south, the person would al ways prefix "North" before the street number so that there would be no confusion or delay by the department in getting to the scene. He said that it was not necessary to say that the fire was on Harrison street. North To peka, for Instance, but that North Harrison street" would be better.

Wellman, a North side man who lives at the Adams house, left to day for Cheyenne, Wyo., to settle a mining claim. His story follows: He and three others discovered a copper mine near Cheyenne by accident in 1901. They lacked capital to develop the find although it looked promising. A rich brother of one of the discoverers took hold of it, and made extensive operations in the field. Later after Wellman had returned to Topeka he was offered $1,200 for his share in the mine. About the same time he learned that $2,000 had been of fered for a share of another original discoverer of the property and went to Cheyenne to investigate before relin quishing his hold on the mine. Following the four men took the matter Into court. The "Certain Rich Man" finally compromised by giving his note for $7,500 to each of the share holders in the mine. But the notes were due January 2, 1910. but "Dives" died November 24, 1909. His estate was valued at $83,600, and Mr. Wellman's prospects looked good. But a New York firm, to whom it is claimed the deceased owed $500,000, immediately at tached all of the estate and the min ers claims have remained unsettled. Meanwhile two of the original dis coverers of the copper deposit have died and one has disappeared. Mr. Wellman has been notified tJ appear before the court at Cheyenne as the heir which the dead man left has become of age and it Is thought another- settlement Is pending to all of his father's- creditors. This morning Mr. Wellman's story of the discovery of the mine and the sub sequent events was like a Brete Hart romance. One afternoon in the fall of 1901 four men were sitting sear a railroad grade near Munson, Or "Tie Siding," not far from Cheyenne. They were employed on a grade for the Union Pacific but had knocked off work. Mr. Wellman was one of them. The others were named Jones, Smith and Bailey. Bailey was a professional prospector. Smith and Jones were soldiers of fortune. Wellman was idly pecking at the earth with his pocket knife. Suddenly he struck a hard substance about as big as- the end of his .thumb. He picked it up. Bailey glanced at it and exclaimed: "Copper. You've struck something." The men then all began to scoop up the barren soil and found quantities of native copper. When it became too dark to see Bailey said "Let's cover up the marks of our work and keep still about it. We can form a company among ourselves and develop this mine." This was agreed to and carried out It happened that the copper deposit was far enough removed from the grading camp that none but the four men suspected anything unusual. After the graders had moved on, the men giving various reasons for their action, stayed behind and sank a shaft six feet into the earth. Day after day they worked, against VOU can easily understand why these Hart, Schaffner Marx suits and overcoats are priced now so much below their value.

A vein of water threatened to flood the pit. For 20 days Wellman worked with water rushing about his knees. A small patch of light from the mouth of the shaft above was all ha could see of the sky. Finally the men came to the con clusion that they had better interest a capitalist in their operations. At this Jones proposed that they make the proposition to his brother in Cheyenne who was a rich mine owner. This was done. The near-millionaire started operations and the four men scattered. Wellman returned to Topeka. A few years ago when he was working with a team on the streets, a man approach ed him and asked: "Are you Mr. Wellman?" "Yes," was the reply. Wellman was then informed that the Cheyenne cap italist had offered "him $1,200 for his in terest in the mine to secure a quit claim deed. It appeared that the mine had become valuable but according to the Wyoming laws, the operator must se cure quit claim deeds before he could own it Mr. Wellman put the man off, saying that he was too busy to discuss the matter but would talk to him that evening. In the meantime he received a telegram from Bailey stating he had been offered $5,C00 for his share and not to sell but to come to Cheyenne. Wellman followed the advice. Then the matter was brought into the courts and dragged along until the last de velopment. Concerning it Mr. Wellman said this morning: "I am going to see what I can do, but it would not surprise if matters were not settled for 20 years. Of the four men only Bailey and I are avaO able. Bailey Is somewhere In the mountains of the west. Smith I do not know. Jones is dead." Notes and Personals. E. B. Cook, night foreman at the TT. P. tie treating plant.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOPBNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 151911. TRYNEWTHEORIES Officers in Piatt Murder Case Still Baffled. But Are Looking for Clues to ft als Friend. DISCUSS SUIT CASE. Kow lieiieve That It Was Only a Blind. Not a Tangle Clue Unearthed in Three Weeks. It is probable that Benjamin Piatt's Blayer was a false Intimate friend. Af ter the police have worked for three weeks on every possible theory, the only one that seems to command re spect is that the murderer of the aged Hebrew merchant was some person with whom the man held a close ac quaintance. For two weeks the police followed the theory that Piatt was murdered by a chance highwayman for his sup posed money. But slowly the bottom lell from the plot, the two weeks were gone and no results were obtained. Even today a few stubborn officers will insist that Piatt's supposed fat pock etbook attracted attention of a strang er who stealthily entered the store and pounced upon the man in an unguard ed moment. But these persons forgot to reckon with the situation. A strang er would have stolen the valuable Match and chain and two rings. They could have been easily melted and would have brought tnore money than the person took from the dead man's pockets. One day a week ago, some one found a suitcase filled with- underwear and cocks in a dry gooas box. It was be lieved the goods came from Piatt s store. There was a new pair of shoes. Immediately there was a clue that that promised quick reward. But im agine a murderer, who presumably killed for gain, taking $4 worth of clothing, carrying it away from the dead man's -store in broad daylight and "passing up" $200 worth of jewelry that might be dropped in a watch pocket. Imagine the real murderer stealing his way through the alley with a bungle some suit case filled with winter un derwear for his own use, when at any moment the grip itself might cause his undoing. Then ten days later im agine this same cunning slayer finding his way through an alley to the rear of a wholesale house, where he deposit ed his spoils. Yet for more than two weeks such were the clues obtained from the original setting of the crime. Officers were free to admit that such a. clever piece of work could baffle the entire police force. But Piatt was a clever Jewish mer chant. He was unusually suspicious. A chance customer always bore watch ing in the opinion of the little old man. He did not form friendships with undue haste. To be sure Piatt was on the alert to sell goods, but he did business with both eyes open. For seven months he did business at the same stand. Not a day in those seven months did he miss the same car to his store. Not a day did he fail to return promptly vt 7 o'clock. His habits were regular. "When he left the store for a moment, instinct told him it was wise to lock the shop. He cooked and ate In his little store. Each morning he brought his noon lunch when he came to work. His habits were easily studied. It was just 1 o'clock the afternoon of February 22. when Piatt was last seen alive by his fellow merchants. The sun shone and the weather was warm. As was Piatt's custom on such occa sions, he enjoyed a few minutes of fresh air before lunch. He- stood on the sidewalk in front of Henry's store and joked with Henry's clerks. He mentioned the brand of weather and said that his rheumatism performed better on such days than when the wind and snow came down from Gar" field park. Then the old man laughed and sauntered back to his store. Pro bably 30 minutes later he was mur dered. There is not one chance in one hun dred that a customer or stranger could enter the store in that time and not receive Piatt's undivided atten tion. He was never too hungry. to keep on the lookout. Sometimes peo ple moved things when one wasn't looking. This was a maxim Piatt nev 'T forgot. But a friend didn't bother Piatt in the least. He went quietly about his duties and let the friend make the most of it. There were not many such friendships, to be sure, but in the seven months Piatt had been located across the river, he formed several such relations with people with whom he was thrown In contact. Piatt had just drawn his chair up beside the goods box near the little gas stove. His hat was still on his head. With his back to the front door, he opened the little lunch which his daughter had prepared that morn ing. A' friend entered the store. He possibly joked Piatt about his late lunch and the little Hebrew grunted back his recognition. Between mouth ful. Piatt tried to be sociable. Then suddenly, almost before he was well under way with the lunch, something blunt and heavy caught Piatt at the base of the skull. The little old man grasped hin head, rose from the chair in a half conscious condition, and be fore he could make an outcry another blow struck just over the ear. He fell at full length on the floor. His eyes were closed, but Piatt was still breathing. He attempted to rise from the floor, although the blood gushed from the wounds on his head. Fran tically the assassin rained a dozen blows on the merchant's head. Piatt had ceased breathing. His muscles relaxed. Then the body was dragged behind the counter. The front door was locked. The slayer searched the pockets. He took the little chamois bag containing the com collection. Then he took the combination bill book and coin purse. After covering the body with clothing, he went to the back room, examined his spoils and dropped the chamois bag with the little gold coins. Like the watch and chain and two rings, they might cause trouble. Doubtless the murderer was disap pointed with his harvest. But the crime was committed and he walked through the low door at the rear of the store and disappeared down the alley. Seven hours later, when it was known that Piatt was murdered. 200 persons swarmed into the little store. There were a hundred chances to steal small articles and disappear. In the search someone probably found the bag of coins. They neglected to report their find. As days passed and the newspapers printed a descrip tion of the collection, the coins burn ed the finder's pockets. Then he re turned the money piecemeal. Just three weeks ago today, the crime was committed. Yet in all that time, not an officer has investigated the affairs of Piatt's more intimate friends or learned concerning their actions an Washington's birthday. Sullenly officers have clung .to the theory that the North Topeka mer chant was murdered for the price of a few pair of socks and a handful of odd gold coins that were worse than, worthless to the slayer.

It is not true. 'When you make one community prosperous you benefit the communities with which it does business. It is exactly the same among communities as it is among individuals. So it is among nations. "L believe that more and more of our people are growing to realize the funda mental error of the old out worn belief that a nation can permanently rise at the expense o its neighbors. Of course what I say now as a general rule is subject to certain. xceptions which -t 'need not lis cuss; but as a general rule" it helps any nation to have its neighbors prosperous. It is a help to the United States to have every other country in the western hemisphere a prosperous cduntrv vnu here who do business along the border know I don't have to tell you this; you know it yourselves far better than I do, that it is an interruption to your business, a check to your prosperity, to have tur moil and trouble in the adjacent republic.

"I am particularly pleased to see here this morning the mayor and the collector of customs of the Mexican City which is your immediate neighbor. I am sure I utter the sentiment of every Ameriean when I say that all the United States wishes to see in Mexico is prosperity; that we wish to see it have the prosperity that means material well being, industrial success, coupled with order,- justice and independence. Our interests, the interests of the American republic of the United States on this continent, are bound up with the welfare of all othier nations of the continent. We wish well to Canada; we wish well to Mexico: we wish well to every other country in the western hemi sphere, and we ask them to- do nothing for us excepting to do justice to themselves by securing their property; securing their independence through the practice of the great fundamental principles of civization, order and justice." WALLS FALL ON THEM. Near a Score of Workmen Buried Under Brick and Mortar. Nashville, Tenn., March 15. Betwee-i 15 and 20 workmen engaged in tearing down the old brick and stone skeleton of the J. H. Fall Co. building on Third avenue were caught by falling walls. Probably several of the workmen, who were mostly negroes, will not be brought out alive. Members of the rescuing party can hear the groans -of the imprisoned men. When the fire department arrived there were four men in the fourth and fifth story win dows of a section of a wall that- re mained standing. An aerial truck was used to bring these men to safety. Rescuers have brought out nine men, only ono being dead, although several were fatally hurt. EDDY IS COMING. Famous Organist Will Be In Topeka Monday.

The statement was made at a Mc Neal for mayor meeting held this af ternoon in Lincoln post hall, that the organized forces working for McNeal are now taking nearly 150 persons a day to the polls for registration. It was reported that Mrs. J. E. Wilson and Mrs. A. E. Malmberg, who are in charge of 15 workers over the city, have been responsible for the regis tration of 600 voters. Frank Stahl said: "I believe that the 'wet' element at the last election cast about their entire t'Ote that was 600 and as there are now 17,300 per sons registered it looks as though a 12,000 to 16,000 vote will be cast. This will mean that two to one of the, vot ers will prefer law and order to an archy and ruin." "I was pleased -with what the So cialist candidate said about the 'busi ness candidate' campaign," said E. W. Rankin. "You often find that the campaign run on that principle is a humburg.

Records of Juvenile Court Show Them to Be Best, Behaved. J. P. MORGAN'S NEW PARTNER Titos. W. Lamont Will Have Charge ot Publishing Department. Portland. Ore.. March" 15. Score one for the heathen Chinee. His children are the best behaved in America. At least this is shownby the records of the juvenile court of this city. Ameri can "kids" are holy terrors compared to the mild mannered young- Celestial and it is a rare occurrence when one of the latter is brought to book. Of all the races with which the juvenile court has to deal, the young Chinese show the least deviltry. This is true despite the fact that the Chinese live in the most closely con gested sections of the city, where juvenile delinquency is festered. The court reports show that the congested districts do not furnish so many cases for correction as more thinly popu lated parts of the city. Chief Probation Officer Teuscher accounts for the good behavior of the Chinese children because parental re straint is more common in Chinese families than with Americans and other races. He says it would be a good thing if many Americans learned a lesson from the Chinese in this re gard and allowed their children less opportunity to run wild He believes this would greatly reduce the work of the juvenile court. South Portland which has a large foreign population, contributes a gen erous share of cases to the court, but Young America must bear the odium of a large number of arrests. The Chinese, however, come off with fly lng'colors, the black marks against the race being very few. As a matter of fact, children shown in the picture and most of the other Chinese of the city are Americans, having been born in thi? county, and are accordingly entitled to all the rights of citizens as soon as they reach legal age. Chinese parents are very proud of their children and take great care in their training and education. New York, March 15. The admis sion to the, firm of J. Pierpont Morgan and Company of Thomas W.

Two Violate Rules at Bethany and Are Sent Home. Following a Monday evening lark two girl students at Bethany college were Tuesday publicly expelled from the institution and sent to their homes. Neither of the girls were residents of Topeka. It was a week ago Sunday night when the girls first broke the Iron clad rules of the school. They were ab sent several hours from the buildings and the following day were confront ed by Miss Meliora Hambleton, prin cipal of the college. For several days they denied the charge. But the ax fell. The girls' parents were notified of the expulsion and Tuesday was set as the date when they should leave the school. A few minutes before 8:30 Monday evening Miss Hambleton prepared to so to the girls' rooms and see that they had retired. She was delayed a few minutes. That delay gave the girls a chance to escape. But their trip was useless. One of the girls was caught on the campus. The other walked to the transfer station at Kighth and Kansas avenues, 'where she was met by a boy friend, who took her to the Kock Island depot In an automobile. But Miss Hambleton had notified the depots not to sell the girl a ticket and she was compelled to wait at the station and later return to the school. Tuesday both girls were expelled publicly. "It is the first serious violation of this rule in four years." declared Miss Hambleton this morning,' "and of course it was necessary to inflict the punishment. There is no alternative for girls who leave the building after 8:30, whether for a walk, joy ride or theater party. The first day the girls arrive the rules are laid down. This one is made prominent. It is the only way to maintain discipline and we have been unusually successful. A girl never violates the rule but once. I wish I could five the papers the names of the two girls and the boys, but I have promised the girls' parents to withhold the names. You know it sometimes means a preat deal to a girl's future to be expelled from a school of this character and I don't want to do them an injustice." Both girls are 16 years old. They came to Topeka last fall and entered Bethany when the September term op ened. Miss Hambleton denied the re port that the girls were met with au tomobiles, that one of the girls fainted when caught, or that they made their escape down the fire escapes. "The girls walked right through the halls and out the door," declared the .principal. "Our fire escapes extend only to the second floor roofs. We had just such escapades as this in mind when the fire escapes were installed and guarded against them. To be sure the fire marshal complained somewhat, but we succeeded in talking him out of it."

One More Necessary to Complete School Board Ticket. It is still not too late to become a candidate for a position on the board of education. The new state law which has gone into effect stipulates that, "The names of double the num ber of members of the board to be elected receiving the highest number of votes at the primary election shall be placed upon the ballot as candi dates for members of the board of education." There are now but eleven candidates in all, so according to law there must be at least one mre aspirant In the race. According to City Clerk Burge, candidates have until the evening of March 17, to fila their petitions. "Of the six members elected," reads the law,."the three receiving the high est number of votes shall serve for four years, the three receiving the next highest number of votes cast shall serve for a period of two years and thereafter three members shall be elected for a term of four yeans in each odd numbered years provided, that those members of the board of education at the time of the passage of this act whose term of office ex pires the first Monday in May, 1911, shall continue to serve as members of the board of education until August, 1911, and those members whose term of office does not expire on or before the first Monday in August. 1911 shall serve in connection with the board of education for the year ending on the first Jrtonday. In August, 1912, after which the board shall consist" of six members elected as provided In sec tion 1 of this act." There is some talk of one member of the board whose term of office has not yet expired running again with the object of getting a long term berth as school board member. STUBBS A BUSY MAN.

TAKE ITTO COURT John Ritchie Threatens IV ash- burn College Trustees. They Cannot Sell Campus Prop erty for City Lots. ALU3IN1 ARE EXCITED. Send in ProtestsAgainst Trustee Proposition. Mayor Billard, Class of Thinks It Is Wrong. '70 The board of trustees of Washburn college stirred up a hornet's nest when they made the announcement not long ago that they intended to sell a part of the east end of the campus for city lots. Now that the sentiment of the college alumni, faculty and stud ents has been so pronounced against the proposition it is doubtful If the sale will be made. Following the news of the sale print ed in the State Journal last week the college alumni have poured in their protests through the mail and over the telephone. The Washburn alumni in Topeka have organized against the trustee movement and friends of the college have frowned upon the dese cration of the campus. John Ritchie of Topeka, a son cf the man who donated 160 acres of land to Washburn college for college purposes, has scored the heaviest hit. Mr. Ritchie threatens to go to court as an heir, claiming the entire 160 acres, in case the trustees sell any portion. Not Legal, Says Ritchie. According to the statements of Mr. Ritchie the land was given to the col lege for "college purposes" and it is not considered a legitimate purpose for the college to sell part of it-for main tenance expenses. Many lawyers in Topeka claim that the trustees would find it impossible to sell. They insist that the land was not given to the college for that pur pose. It is conceded that the arguments against the sale are supported more or less with sentiment and tradition. Tak ing the practical side of the sale a smaller campus, less ground for build ing purposes and an intrusion of cos mopolitan surroundings these theories are considered sufficient to kill the pro. posals of the trustees. But the actual love of the old school, the pure sentiment against any change In its facial appearance and the tradi tional features of the old east campus are considered strong enough to offset the cold business arguments of the trustees. The current Issue of the Washburn Review, the weekly college newsaper, contains interviews and expressions from alumni members of the college from many different classes. Here are a few of the expressions that show the opinions of the college men and wo men: What Alumni Say. "Now, it seems to me that it will hurt the college more than it can pos sibly gain from the sale of so valuable part of the campus.". "Washburn surely can not be in such straits financially as to render such a course necessary. There is only one thing that could render 6uch a sacrifice excusable, that is that the very existence of the college was in peril and it was necessary to take such steps to carry it over great financial danger.',' "It has been a matter of comment for many years that the Washburn campus has, in its beautiful location, a site that might well be coveted by larger and older colleges." "Some of these days, it has been the hope of all WTashburn students, there will be more buildings on the campus. Will they get the choice loca tion with plenty of space for artistic arrangement or will they be shoved but of sight down in the present back yard?" "I do not think the trustees Intend to cripple the beauty or worth of the campus, but I think they have tram pled on unseen toes, unintentionally, when they decide to sell a part of the old campus for city lots." "I certainly am against selling any part of the campus and especially that east of Rice hall. It seems liite a snorr sighted policy and in the long run. will do the college more harm than good. I wish to condemn as strongly as pos sible the persons or persons respon sible for this outrage." "When we think of the struggle of Mc Vicar. Rice. Ritchie. Hannah and the others who struggles to get this campus and then think or selling a slice of it, it seems almost like dese cration." "If protest will save our beautiful campus, I think it is the duty of every student who has- ever attended Wash burn to register one. Our campus has always been considered the finest in the state and to cut off a block from the east side will ruin the prospect from Rice hall." Faculty Against It, Too. It is understood that the Washburn faculty is approving the action of the students, friends and alumni of the college in condemning the action of the board of trustees. Of course the faculty is not leading the fight against the sale their dignity and position forbida it but they are not backward in giving their personal opinions on the matter. Professor Harshbarger a Wash burn man who takes more pride in the campus and has done more for the campus than any other member of the faculty has allowed himself to be interviewed on the subject, profes sor Harshbarger says: "As I see the matter, the sale of part of the campus is a move in the wrong direction. It simply transfers value without adding to our wealth, beyond all question injures the campus. I fear the thought of how it will be regarded fifty years hence." J. B. Billard, mayor of Topeka, is the third man to graduate from Washburn college. Mayor Billard is a member of the class of 1870., Here is what the mayor says: "I haven't had time to look into tho matter fully, but I don't think it is. advisable to hinder the growth of Washburn in the future by selling part of the campus. For the time being this sale may look practical, but in the future the college will need this land for many purposes. Every col lege should have ample room for its grounds."

From Mr. Harrison. Mr. Hiram B. Harrison, financial agent of Washburn,, has written the following explanation for the State Journal: "Referring to t:.e discussion of the plan of Washburn college to sell twen ty acres of the college campus includ ing a strip some 340 feet wide along the east border,-your readers may bo interested in some considerations which moved the trustees to this ac tion. "First However hard pressed the college is for money, and the need is very great, the plan contemplated does not draw one dollar from the sale o this land for maintenance but places it all into the endowment fund the inter est only to be available. It is simply converting nonprodueing property into a permanent producing asset. "Second The trustees have studied the matter very carefully and from every standpoint. They conceive Wash burn to be in its infancy and are lay ing plans -for larga development. They have brought the college to its present standard of excellence. They are do ing their best to safeguard its splendid traditions and to meet its growing needs. One of the stern facts which perhaps weighs with them more than, with some others is an annual item of some $80,000 for maintenance whose un remitting proprtions they must meet month by month. "Thirds The endowment is lament ably small and less than that of any college of Washburn's class. Wash burn is doing twice the work meas ured in terms of students being edu cated of any college of her grade. "Fourth The terms of the deed for the campus leave wholly to the dis cretion of the trustees the disposition ofthe land for the benefit of the col lege and the trustees have ever been men mindful alike of their legal and moral obligation. "Fifth From eighty to one hundred acres, would be an ample campus for a college five' times as large as Wash burn is at present and if you multiply the Washburn of today by five you will f ullfil the dream perhaps of the most hercic men who have thought deeply upon the subject. "Sixth Just ordinary men who do things may be open to the indictment of the artist but such ordinary mortals with their feet on the ground and their heads within six feet of it may find something to be said in favor of the better dwellings which will face the campus from the new street and the better care of a campus which is not quite so far afield. "Seventh And finally It is gratify ing to me personally to find o many expressing themselves as vitally inter ested in the policy and welfare ot Washburn. During the brief period I have been seeking ways and means to meet the demanl for money for the growing work I have not always found the ready response which this present interest warrants. The pressing need of Washburn is for increased endow- meiii.' mo endowment snoula be a million and the plans of the trustees contemplate such an achievement. With a million dollars of endowment Washburn would ba unexcelled amon; the colleges of the United States. It may interest some one who sees theso lines to know that $30,000 given now would at once bring to, the college an additional $50,000 Offered by Mr. An drew Carnegie. 1 "Yours for greater Washburn.

He was not even a witness in the case. He was not connected with It in any way and not until he returned to Topeka did he hear of it. I call this an unfair and contemptible deal this posting of lies about a candidate. One of the opposing candidates is blamed for the work."

THE MILLS GO. CLARK III GAY MOOD. Coming Speaker Talks on Many Sub jects in Chicago. Chicago, March 15. Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri, the coming speaker of the national house of rep resentatives, has amended the famous saying of Horace Greeley: "Go west, young man; go west!" And made it to read: "Go south, my boy; go south!" The Missouri congressman headed fff newspaper men who sought to ask liim questions pertaining to other mat ters, and insisted that they "first learn something about the southland from Borne one who knows and wants every one else to know." Supplementing his amendment, Mr. Clark said: "The south is the place and my ad vice is to go there. You won't eat 8 8 much as you do here in the north. If you do, you'll die. Your clothing must be lighter and therefore less ex pensive. You won't have to buy fuel to speak of and you can allow your horses and cattle to graze out of doors th year around. "Believe me, the south is the poor man's land, and you'll live to see the clay when the south is going to be the richest part of the United States. "Why, say. I know a man who made $15,000 in one year off three acres of lettuce. Sounds fishy, doesn't 1t? True, though, for I took the pains to find out. It's a great country, boys, and it you want a good tip, follow my advice. That ia, go early to the south land and grow up with its progress." If any one doubts that Congressman Clark would make a good Democratic candidate for president at the next election they have his own word for it, given today. He "admitted" he would make a good candidate, saying: "Well, the Democratic party might go farther and fare worse and I think it will." The next speaker of the national house discussed any and all other subjects put to him except the Lori mer vote and woman's suffrage. Of the latter he said: "I know when to let well enough alone and I'm going to keep still." He prophesied victory for the re ciprocity measure and said of the tar iff. "We can get by Mr. Taft with a few schedules we hope, where we never could get past with a whole bill." Mr. Clark intimated that if Repub licans in the next house did not like committee appointments they could po hang for all the good it would do them, only he said it this way: "Those who don't like the appoint ments can take advantage of the great American privilege of 'cussin'." Congressman Clark lectured at a local church. He insisted on calling it a lecture, saying "a speech is where you talk for nothing; you get paid for a lecture." Rep. Williams at AVinona.

Williams is an able and ef fective speaker, and he gave a brief but comprehensive review of the work done by the recent legislature and his part therein. His remarks called forth much, applause, especially those apropos the suffrage amendment.

Finson. an employee of the city, who was killed in the gas explo sion in the Seventh street fire cistern December 14, 1909, was awarded $4,- 600 damages by a jury in the district court. The jury came in about 6 o'clock last evening after two hours deliberation. There was not a great deal of evi dence in the case. The fact of the death and its cause could not be dis puted. The only point contended was that of liability. One of the men who was in the cistern testified that Street Commissioner Frank Snyder struck a match to light a cigar and the widow said her husband had told "her so before he died. Mr. Snyder and three other men who were working in the cistern testified that no match had been struck, that there was no cigar and that Snyder had simply reached for his handkerchief to wipe his glasses. Hence the cause of the explosion remains in doubt but the jury found negligence on the part of the city in ordering the men into the hole. The men who descended into the cistern testified that they expected to find gas in it from the leaking mains of the Consumers' Gas company. Mr. Snyder had ordered them to re move the lid the first thing and allow time for any gas to escape. This was done by the men who arrived before him. The lid was off about an hour before the men descended. The Jury was of the opinion that the city was liable for damages in sending workmen into a hole which was supposed to be dangerous. Mrs. Finson has two chil dren under four years -of age. HEIL WITH HOWARD. Famous K. V. Quarterback Accepts position at Home.

Mr. Heil was employed in our establishment before he went to th9 university." H. M. Starr left this morning on a western trip for the company. Vncle Sam Counts His Stamps. Washington, March 15.

To Promote Sound Political Government the Object. TO BE NONPARTISAN. So Far as Existing Divisions Are Concerned. Commercial and Professional Men Are Behind It. San Francisco, March 15. An unique political organization, one of whose principles is that its men are not to seek public offices, has been formed in this city. Its object, ac cording to announcement, is .to pro mote sound municipal government by the selection of a non-partisan list of candidates for the mayoralty and the board of supervisors. Prominent professional and com mercial men initiated the movement. Under a recently adopted amendment of the city charter providing for non partisan ballots the new organization will have free scope. BRISTOW AT HOME. Believes Canadian Reciprocity Treaty Will Bo Adopted. Senator J. L. Bristow, while in Kan sas City en route to his home in Sa lina, gave out the following interview: "I expect to be in Washington all summer," the senator said. "The presi dent is calling the extra session to con sider Canadian reciprocity. But that can hardly be divorced from a general consideration of the tariff. "The progressives believe that the pledge of the Republican national plat form for tariff revision was not carried out in the Aldrich-Payne law. We are in favor of carrying it out as soon as possible. Our tariff relations with Canada require revision, but so do those with the rest of the world. "We progressives, I suspect, are like-, ly to be found on a middle ground be tween the standpatters. and the Demo crats. The Democrats may wish some more radical reductions than we be lieve are warranted. But I don't be lieve the Democrats can refuse to compromise on reductions that we will offer. I am hopefull of important re sults. "There is no disposition to disturb business. A complex and artificial in dustrial structure has been built up. Thia industrial life is not to be sud denly -endangered. We believe, how ever, that the tariff wall has been tak en advantage of by monopolistic in terests, to exact monopolistic prices. Thia ought not to continue. "But what we progressives do must depend to a great extent on what shape the action of the house takes. The tariff bills must originate there." The Kansas senator believes the Canadian reciprocity bill will be passed at the special session, but he expects it to receive amendments. "If we are to admit live stock free," he said, "I see no reason why we should give the packers protection on their dressed meats. They don't need it. If there is to be no duty on bar ley, why should we protect the brew ers on malt? "The bill provides for a reduction of duty on parts of motor cars ex cept rubber tires., Why exempt tires from the reduction? I don't believe Senator Aldrich's rubber tire trust needs to be protected." ONLY 14 INDICTMENTS. Danville, HI.. Grand Jury Found Ut- tlo Election Fraud. Danville, 111.. March 15.

A motor trip around the city followed, the colonel receiving many cheers as he passed along the streets. Then the party hastened to Cleveland square, where a big gather ing had collected to hear the former president speak. His stay in the city was but a short one. as he boarded a special car on the Santa Fe train at 10 o'clock to continue his journey to Albuquerque. At that point, Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel and Miss Langon, a friend of Miss Roosevelt, will join the party. The ladies have been staying at the home of Judge Cooley of the supreme court of New Mexico. The judge is an old time friend of Colonel Roose velt. BURT PLEADS GUILTY. KxChief of Police of Wichita Turns on .Naftzger. Wichita. Kan., March 15. Ex Chief of Police Frank Burt of Wich ita, pleaded guilty to the charge of selling stolen postage stamps -when arraigned in federal court Tuesday afternoon. He will turn state's evi dence against those implicated in the case with him. L. S. Nafteger, former president of the Fourth National bank, pleaded not guilty to the same charge, while John Callahan, convict ed bank robber, asked time to consult an attorney, saying he had been denied that opportunity while in Jail. He will be arraigned today. His attorney stated last night that Callahan would plead not guilty. Burt's action, together with the al legations made by two members of the September grand jury which in dicted the trio, that they had been ap proached by other members to use their influence against the indictment of Naftzger, strengthened the state's position in an unexpected manner. The charges of attempted corrup tion of the grand jury were made by Foreman Paul Rich and Jurors S. E. Wills and A. S. Mattson. They allege Grand Jurors Lewis Evans and George W. Smith approached them. Smith telling Rich there was "$10,000 in it for them." Attorneys for Naftzger declare Smith and Evans made over tures for bribes but that no efforts were made to corrupt the grand jury: Rich, Wills and Mattson reported the occurrence to District Attorney Bone, who caused warrants to be issued for Smith and Evans.

OPEN TONIGHT TILL 10 O'CLOCK EVENING CHAT BT RUTH CAMERON. I wonder if there is a person in my audience who owns any books at all. who has never in his life lost a book by loaning it to some one who com pletely omitted the little ceremony of returning it. I doubt it. I wonder also if there are very many peoole in my audience who could hold up their right hands and swear, "I haven't a book in my possession which I have keut longer than I should have." Again I am a doubter. The cheerful latitude which many people allow themselves on the subject of borrowed articles especially books is really almost amusing. I was at the home of a friend the other day when she was giving its an nual spring overhauling to her library. In the course of this upheaval she came upon a volume which she had borrowed 12 years ago. She was greatly astonished at find ing it. "To think I never took that book back," she said, "and Just think poor M. has been dead six years." (By-the-by, please excuse an irrele vant remark, but isn't it queer that despite our belief in a better and hap pier world we continually refer to peo ple who are dead as "poor So-and-Sc7") My friend dusted the book and put it back on the shelf with a sigh that was evidently more for poor M. than for her own culpability in the matter of the 12 years. And yet she is in most matters a very conscientious woman. Of course the man who has two or three books in his library which he borrowed so long ago that he actually doesn't know where they came from, or if he does know, has lost track of the owners, would be indignant if you told him he had stolen from his friends. And yet what is the difference be tween such prolonged borrowing and stealing? A difference in intent to be sure but not much in results. The borrower always has a comfor table feeling that "some day I must return that book." Some day is a very dangerous word, my friend. It is such a convenient curtain to hide your cutoabllity from yourself. Admit frankly to yourself, "I shall probably never return that book," and then perhaps you will feel such a sense of guilt that you will return it tomor row. Or better still today. TO SHOOT AT THE TEXAS The Old Battleship Will Be a Target Explosive Test. Norfolk, March 16. The battleship San Marcos, formerly the Texas, is ex pected to leave the navy yard this afternoon in tow of the tugs Mohawk and Pentucket for the Trail of the Horseshoe in lower Chesapeake bay, where she is to undergo experimental explosiva tests. Detailed plans for the tests are be ing guarded with considerable secrecy at the navy yard. It is known, how ever, that It is intended to maintain service conditions on the vessel 'as far as possible and her machinery and guns remain aboard. The crew, as she goes out, will consist only of enough men to man her boilers and pumps. The only living things to re main on board during the firing tests will be a dozen cats and a lot of chickens.

The young son of a Topeka bankar made the announcement yesterday to some of his playfellows that there were two babies at his house, one for mother and one for daddy, thinking, probably, as some older people do. that what he wished to be true, was true The report spread among the neigh bors, and the father of the young hope ful was constantly called to the 'phono a: 1 asked how the twins were getting along. At first it seemed like a harm less Joke, but when had repeated a dozen times that he didn't own any twins, the persistence of the inquiry "got on his nerves." What did the question portend, and was it a prophecy, or a simple conspiracy on the part of his neighbors to convince him that really misfortunes do not come singly. However, the next morn ing he learned that advance notices cannot always be trusted, when he was presented with a wee new daughter and was assured that there was only one of. It.

Morrison THIN FOLKS MADE FAT The Way Samose Works Its Wonders Guaranteed by Geo. W. Stansfleld. More than half the readers of the Topeka State Journal would give al most anything to be plump and rosy instead of thin and scrawny. Physicians and chemists for years have studied the problem of making a flesh forming food, but it is only within the last few months that a bright man discovered the prescrip tion that taken with the daily meals give a positive Increase in flesh. In fact it was so certain in its action that a guarantee was atached to each pack age stating that if weight did not in crease as a result of using it, the pur chase price would be refunded. This preparation is now put up in convenient form, for use under the name of Samose. George W. Stansfleld has secured the agency in Topeka for Samose and as the percentage of satisfactory re sults from the use of this prescription is so nearly one hundred per cent he feels there is no risk in offering to re fund the money if Samose does not do all that is claimed for it. Everybody that is thin and out of health should begin today the use of Samose with a guarantee like this. SPLENDIDLY RENDERED. Recital by Miss Walter's Pupil Reveals Remarkable Talent and Training. Miss Ethel Barnes, pupil of Miss Brunette Walter of the Bissing con servatory, gave her certificate recital Tuesday night at the First Baptist ohurch before a large and apprecia tive audience. The program began with an impressive German song, "The Grave," from the German, with the music written by Professor Bissing. who" played theviolin accompaniment. Miss Barnes, whose voice has a marked sympathetic quality, rendered the piece with taste and feeling. A group of short lyrics followed, show ing the range of the soloist's voice, from the low and middle-voice tones in "The Orphan" to the higher regis ter of tones n Schubert's serenade. The most difficult of the numbers sung was an aria from Lucia di Lammer moor. Thi3 famous aria, which is sung by the prima donnas of -the world, Is full of technical difficulties and its execution by a student whose performance is as creditable as that of Miss Barnes is a praiseworthy ac complishment. Two German songs, "Lehn Deine Wang" and "Liebes frage." the latter by Professor Bissing, and a- selection from the Italian "Ernani" constituted the foreign numbers-' of the program. Presentation of the certificate -was made by Mr. M. C. HoTman. Mifs Beulah Wentworth. a pupil of: Professor Bissing, played a violin concerto by DeBerlot. Miss Wentworth Is one of the advanced vio lin students of the conservatory. Her technique is excellent and she plays understanding as well. The last number on the program was the prison song from II Trovatore, by Miss Barnes and Mr. Frank' Robbins. The number was satisfactorily given, and the tenor part was especially strong. About three hundred people attended the concert. C. B. Hoffman at Lukens Opera House, 807 N.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OUEHAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1911. CI!AflCETO HELP. Family That Needs a Place to Breathe. May Save Life of a Little Mother. FATHER HAS WORK. But Dire Poverty Prevents a Necessary Change. Some Pieces of Furniture Are Needed. In a little upstairs room on Bast Eighth avenue a family of three are making their home. The little family is in destitute circumstances. The mother is sick. Almost the entire win ter the father has been out of employ ment. An 11-year-old son attends an East side school and works at odd jobs. The little family needs help. An ap peal for old furniture to enable them to move Into a small house brought no results. Two years ago, the mother's health failed. She suffered an abscess of the lungs and was taken to a Colorado sanitarium. The high altitude soon forced her to leave the state. A little five room home, the savings of a life time, went to pay the doctor bills. Tho father's health was uncertain. Some days he could not leave the room and frequently he was without work. A year ago the family came to To peka. They lived for several months on the West side. The husband and father is a painter. Work was good last summer and from the season's toil the man saved $50. Then the little woman's health broke again. Friends advised an overland trip. The little savings of the summer, a loan on the furniture and bedding, enabled the family to buy a horse and a light wagon. When the three reached a rmiall town in Missouri, the woman was unable to continue the journey. They reached the home of her sister. It was 25 miles from a railroad and in the midst of the Ozark country. For days her life was despaired of. Finally the return trip was made to Topeka. It was January 22, when the little family reached Topeka. They rented two small rooms on the second floor of an East side rooming house. But the husband was without money. ray after day he searched for employment, but none was found A nearby grocery etore learned of the case and has ex tended five weeks' credit for groceries. The landlord has carried the rent ac count on a piece of paper. Twelve days ago the m n went to work for the Santa Fe. Thi- week he will draw his first pay check. He receives $1.80 a day. From this amount the family must live, pay their little obligations and buy medicine. It is a serious problem. The house in which the family lives will probably be sold in a few days. This means the father, mother and son must move. Friends have told the wo man that a little cottage near the edge of town, where sh can enjoy the fresh air, look after a little garden and for get her troubles, will improve her health. The family wants to try it. But they have no money. There is no one who wants to trust them for the price of one or two months' rent. "If we just had a little three or four room house somewhere near the Santa Fe shops," said the little woman this morning, as she told of the family's condition, "we could get along ever so well, I know. We don't want to beg. We are honest and want to pay every penny. But If some one who owns a little house, would just let us move in "we could soon pay the rent. And then.' the woman added, as she wiped a stray tear from her eye, "you know it might save my life. I don't think I can stand It up here much longer." That is all the family wants. Just a little cottage somewhere with a fair chance to get a fresh grip on the world. The family needs a few pieces of furniture worn and cast off articles are good enough the woman said. The mother and son must have shoes. Not real brand new shoes, but some that will keep out the cold and protect the feet. Underwear is also a necessity. A few little miscellaneous articles that will make the unfortunate family feel that the big, busy world has a heart and that sympathy Is something ex cept a word buried In the dictionary. A few days ago Mrs. Charles B. Thomas visited the family. She has done marvels. She restored confidence in the little woman made her see things in a better light. This morning the little mother was cheerful and hopeful. The Provident association has offered assistance. But the little cot tage out somewhere in the Santa F" bop district is the thing that is most reeded at this time. Perhaps the home where the little family live may be Bold tomorrow. There is need for quick action. Somewhere in Topeka there is some one with a big, open heart who owns a little house that i not occupied. There is a chance to d some real good. The family does not want it for nothing. But Just at this time, a little credit is needed and thin little household of three wants the op- Piles Quickly Cured at Home Instant Relief.

Great Results and Good Work Continues ROOT JUICE HAS PROVED ITS GREAT MERIT TO MANX, Many people here, as elsewhere, are no longer Incredulous, they are simply amazed at the results obtained from Root Juice. When the remedy was first Introduced to this community and so many were being benefited by a few doses, it was generally thought that the medicine would only give tempor ary relief, bu. as the time passes and many that were ailing are no longer complaining, but are advising their sick friends to trv Root Juice, confi dence in the great medicine is becom ing positive. Root Juice makes so many remarkable cures by removing a few causes and giving nature a chance. It tones and heals the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys; it creates- a healthy appetite, and by its toning action on the blood-making and blood-filtering org ins, good, rich blood is made to nourish every weak part of the body.

"I think the Topeka street railway owes it to the people of the city to ex tend their lines to Gage park," said Commissioner Miller at the city hall this morning. "The number of people who found it necessary to walk to the park last Sunday would prove this." E. B. Stotts, a candidate for city commissioner, was at the office of City Clerk Burge the thirteenth of this month and was in the act of filing his petitions when he glanced at a calen dar near the desk. Throwing up his hands in horror he left the office and didn't file the petitions until the next day. R. V.

A HUNDRED PLR ACRE Barton Csnnty Young Men Have lieen Successful. Weal h Not All Due to Wheat and Other Crps. Great Bend, Kan., March 15. Not all the wealth of the farmer in this sec tion of the United States is due to wheat or other crops not yet in stock. A big portion of it has been the tre mendous Increase in the price of land. Twelve years ago the quarter of land in this vicinity which sold for $3,200 was an exceptional piece of land. Now it is a common thing for it to sell ot five times that price and there isn't much for sale then. It is wonderful the way the demand has increased the price of land and still more wonder ful how the land still pays good in terest on that sort of valuation. The man who doesn't study the mat ter is inclined to think that it is folly to pay over $100 an acre and expect to get good returns on the money but it takes only a few years to pay off such a debt and leave the land free of encumbrance. A few years ago Ernest Slentz of Great Bend went to Lewis where he farmed rented land. He finally bought for himself then sold out and went to the southern part of the state where he now owns a section of land that Is well improved, has a lot of stock and machinery and could cash in for a good deal more than $25,000. And he isn't 30 yet. either. Jim Ely. another Great Bend boy went out west and farmed for a few years and then commenced dealing in land and is now one of the wealthy men of western Kansas and he is around the 30 mark. It is the age of the young man. FARMERS BUY ELEVATOR. A Company Was Organized and Shares Sold. Clay Center, Kan.. March 15. A number of the farmers of the Morgan ville neighborhood have bought the A.

Dygert, a dealer in imported stallions, living in Crawfordville, Ind., is under arrest and in jail at this place under the charge of forging a pedigree and getting money under false pretenses. About a month ago Dygert brought a Percheron stallion here and sold him to Henr- Weber, of Reamsville. turn ing over at-the same time what he claimed was the animal's pedigree. The purchase price was $2,000. It was not long after Dygert's de parture that Mr. Weber discovered he had been duped. A little detective work and he discovered that his purchase was nothing more than a grade Per cheron that Dygert had bought for a small price in Hutchinson, and after keeping him on fancy feed for a month and giving him numerous c'urryings and docking his tail, had brought him here and sold him for an imported stallion. The pedigree, of course, was found to be a hoax.
