Gives Out Letters of Complaint About Tax Commission. One From Chairman Wyandotte County Commissioners. RAP JUDGE GLASS. Say That He and Crammer Favored Railroads. Give Specific Instances in Kan sas City Hearing. Governor Stubbs has added more fuel to the Are blazing around him on account of his dismissal of Judge W. S. Glass from the state tax commis lon. When Judge Glass and his friends severely criticised the gover nor for his action and accused the executive of deceit and being a slan derer and an attempted assassin of reputation, the governor replied that he removed Judge Glass and failed to reappoint S. C. Crummer because seri ous complaint had been made against both these men. The governor did not tell, at that time, what the complaints were or who made them. The governor gave out today two letters from Kansas City, Kan., In one of which Judge Glass and Mr. Crum mer are in effect referred to as the tools of the corporations. One letter is from A. J. Hoffman, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Wyandotte county, and the other is from Keplinger Trickett, attorneys employed by the board in fighting sev eral tax cases before the tax commis sion and through the courts. The letters all express pleasure at the dismissal of Judge Glass and Crummer. The Keplinger Trickett letter follows: Kansas City, Kan., March 21. 1911. Dear Governor: We note with sat isfaction that you did not reappoint two of the old members of the state tax commission. Having been of coun sel in many cases pending before that commission on appeal from Wyandotte county, it would possibly be improper for us to make comment upon specific acts, but permit us to say that actions and decisions of that board impressed us with the belief that at least two members thereof were in close sym pathy with the corporations and espe cially the railroads and packing houses. By reason of such belief we are glad indeed that change has been made. For Mr. Howe, the chairman of the state tax commission, we wish to say, however, that he was always courteous and fair towards us and we do not In clude him in any criticism made. Respectfully, KEPLINGER TRICKETT. Mr. Hoffman's Let Wr. Kansas City, Kan., March 21, 1911. Dear Governor: The members of the board of county commissioners of Wy andotte county are exceedingly pleased with your action In not reappointing two of the members of the state tax commission. For 15 years, the undersigned has had more or less connection with the assessment of property In this county and during the last three years as chairman of the board of county com missioners. We had great difficulty with reference to the assessment of railroad property and it was not until 1907 that anything like decent assess ment was made; that assessment was made by Attorney General F. S. Jack son, Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald and others composing the board of rail road commissioners. They increased the assessment of railroad properties to an extent that netted this county $34,600. after a full hearing as to val ues. After the making of that assess ment, a representative of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad company, said to the writer of this letter: "You won out this time but next year a state tax commission will right this wrong. You will find that the farmer has not been paying his share of the taxes." In 1908 the state tax commission did Just what the tax commissioner of the Santa Fe Railroad company threaten ed. For the year 1908. the assessors of Wyandotte county assessed all pro perty full value, which was a large increase over the percentage valuation of the preceding year but lo and be hold! The state tax commission reduc ed the assessment of the railroads to such an extent that this county receiv ed in taxes from the railroads $30,000 less than in 1907. The tax commission declined to review 1- work but prom ised a hearing in 1909. In 1909 we again appealed to the state tax commission, with reference to the assessment of railroad property and we were met with the statement: "We have made our findings and there Is no appeal therefrom." The assessment for 1909 was such as to lessen the income of this county by $10,000 over that even of 1908. In 1910 we again appeared be fore the state tax commission and in sisted upon the proper valuation of railroad property in Wyandotte coun ty We further insisted thit under the law all terminal facilities we.-e to be localized In the county. Judge Glass rpH the railroad ca.de as though he was their paid attorney and we were refused any relief. We requested that they make their findings in time so that the matter could be taken before the supreme court but instead of do ing so they withheld their report un til all taxes were extended and collec tions commenced, so that it was im possible tc ask the supreme court for a writ of mandamus against the state tax comnlssion, to compel a proper as sessment of the railroad property In this covinty. In the hearing for 1910 this county was represented by counsel who filed printed briefs and made a special re quest that the board announce their findings in time so that suit could be instituted. There was no excuse for the withholding of their findings dur ing the weeks and months following and it can be only accounted for on the ground that it was for the express pur pose of preventing such suit. Their action regarding packing houses and other corporations was equally flagrant. The board of equalization of this county raised the assessment rf the packers and appeal was taken to the state tax commission. At the hear ing before that body, Mr. Shukers, as sistant attorney general, appeared on behalf of our county until he was "frowned out." The writer, with an other member of the board of county commk rioners. Insisted upon a produc tion of the books until finally an ad journment was taken to the offices of t..e Armour Packing company in Kan sas City, Kan., for an examination of the books of the various packing com panies. The county then secured the services of Kep'.lnger Trickett and at the hearing before the state tax com mission, our county and its attorneys were trampled upon rough-shod. How ever, they insisted upon the inventories of the smoke house, etc., and it was then for the first time announced oy Judge Glass that the finished product of these' packing companies was ex empt, and Mr. Crummer chimed in with "Me, too." The attorneys for ths county asked the privilege of arguing this question and were then Informed that the packing companies had al ready presented authorities upon that question at some time and place un known to this board and to its attor neys'. The right to be heard was in sisted upon so strongly that Mr. Howe, the chairman of the state tax commis sion, suggested that a hearing ought t3 he granted and then Judge Glass sul lenly said, "Very well; we'll give them two days to file a brief." A brief was filed and as promptly overruled. Th attorneys for the county then insisted that if the state tax commission held that the finished product was not tax able and the packing companies con tended that the finished product includ ed because exempt, that there should be a specific finding of the fact. It was with great difficulty that such a finding was secured. Immediately upon the making of this finding, the attorneys for the board of county commissioners instituted proceedings to compel the listing and taxing of the finished pro duct of these packing companies. With this proceeding pending in the courts, the state tax commission sent out a let ter to the county assessors all over the state of Kansas saying that the fin ished product of manufacturing com panies was not taxable and to not as sess the same. This would have strick en from the tax rolls of the state of Kansas, more than $10,000,000 worth it property. In the meantime, however, by mandamus suit the question was taken to the supreme court of Kansas, which promptly ruled that the finished product was taxable and should oe listed and assessed. Thereupon an as tonishing thing occurred. The state tax commission sent a. second letter to the county assessors throughout the state, announcing that the finished product t as taxable and to assess it, and taking the credit for having procured a de cision of the supreme court to that ef fect. This In the face of the fact that the state tax commission and especial ly Mr. Glass had attempted at every turn of the road to prevent the taxing of the finished product of these cor porations. This decision of the su preme court netted Wyandotte county $118,000. When these proceedings were start ed Judge Glass took occasion to pre sent a brief to the attorney general to show that the finished product was not taxable. The board of county commissioners had retained Keplinger Trickett for th purpose of compelling the state tax commission by mandamus to assess railroad terminals at Kansas City, Kansas, according to the law, but the selection of a new commission will re quire the presentation of that question before them before suit Is instituted. In the numerous cases pending be fore the state tax commission from Wyandotte county, at all of which the writer was present by virtue of his of fice as chairman of the board of county commissioners. Judge Glass could not have been more energetically in favor of the corporations had he been their paid attorney, and Mr. Crummer on every occasion sided with Judge Glass. Mr. Howe, the president of the state tax commission, was the only member thereof that ever gave a decent hear ing or consideration to our request and evidence. All of these facts were stated to you verbally by ourselves and counsel, and we are exceedingly pleased with the belief that we had something to do with preventing the reappointment of Judge Glass and Mr. Crummer, and we therefore congratulate you upon the courage of your stand and rejoice with the people of the state of Kansas that the corporation control of the state tax commission has become "a thing of the past." Respectfully, A. J. HOFFMAN. STUBBS GIVES FIGURES. K. U. Increase In Students Hasn't Kept I 'act; With Appropriation. Governor Stubbs does not think that the University of Kansas needs to worry about not being able to accept all the students that demand admit tance to that institution. Dean Tem plin and several otl.ers or the univer sity faculty have remarked that owing o the decreased appropriations and that the governor himself cut forty thousand dollars from the maintenance funds the university might find it necessary to shut out some of the pros pective students. "I guess the university will be able to run all right," said the governor. "The figures show that in the last four years there has been an Increase of over three hundred thousand dollars in appropriations and an increase of two hundred students. This means that the expenses of the institution has been in creased fifteen hundred dollars for every additional student. This does not seem to be the proper proportion of cost." The university appropriation made by he 1907 legislature was $522,834 and the fees which the university collected, amounting to about fifty thousand dol lars. The enrollment for the school year 1908-1909 was 2,210. The 1909 ap propriation was $816,266 and the enroll ment was 2,303. The fees, aggregating some seventy thousand dol'.ars, were also appropriated to the university for this year. The 1911 legislature appro priated $928,370 for maintenance for the next two years but the fees collected are to be turned Into the state treas ury. In addition to this amount there Is an appropriation of fifty thousand dollars for the new wing of the admin istration building and $44,000 reappro prtated that was not used in finishing the wing already unuen construction Bright Cool Weather. This is a bright cool day with the prospects, according to the weather man. of increasing cloudiness tonight and Friday with the mercury hovering above the average for today. Last night the temperature went down slightly bejow the freezing point. The wind is blowing five miles an hour from the south. The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 33!ll o'clock 48 8 o'clock 3612 o'clock 49 9 o'clock 40' 1 o'clock .....B0 10 o'clock 441 2 o'clock 52 TROUBLE N ARER. Bullets From Mexican Rifles Fall Across the Line Among United States Soldiers Doing Guard Duty. XPLANATION ASKED. Report of the Incident to Be Sent to Washington. Garrison at Juarez Is Still Ex pecting an Attack. Presidio, Tex., March 23 (via Marfa) Shortly after the crossing of supplies from Presidio Intended for the Mexican troops' besieged in Ojinaga, directly across the Rio Grande, had been stop ped, bullets from federal rifles fell among a detachment of United States troops guarding the American side of the river. An explanation has been de manded of General Luque, m command of the Mexican troops. A report of the firing into the troops is being prepared by Lieutenant J. E. Taylor for transmission to Washing ton. The orders to prevent the cross ing of supplies came from United States customs officials. The ninth day of the siege shows the insurgent lines which surround the city unbroken. The insurrectos routed an outpost and took possession of the trenches 490 yards from the federal artillery escarpments. Reports from Ojinaga are that sup- piles are running low and besides the garrison of 500 soldiers, 1,000 noncom batants are suffering want of food. beveral persons have been wounded by bullets which crossed the liver. The latest victim, a Mexican youth, was shot through the thigh while watching a clash between the soldiers and the revolutionists from the American side. A Mauser bullet tore its way through a circus tent while a performance was in progress. '.'Viva," exclaimed a Mexican clown who was amusing his countrymen. The soldiers have at least one marks man who can hit a circus tent." F. S. McCombs, a Scotch soldier of fortune, has been made a captain in the Insui gent army in command of 25 vaqueros. Juarez Garrison Fears Attack. Juarez, March 23. via El Paso. The Mexican troops that garrison Juarez showed renewed activity today. More sandbags were piled along the edges of the flat roofs to be used as breast works in case of attack, special atten tion being given the municipal build ing on the plaza which now affords ample protection against anything ex cept artillery fire. Lookouts posted on the tower of the old mission constantly watch the mountains to the south and west for igns of .approach of the insurrectos. It is reported that bands of insur rectos have been seen from the house to pass and great uneasiness is felt in the town, which is defended by 850 artillerymen and a squadron of cav alry 150 strong. Noncombatants, however, will be fairly well sheltered in the adobe houses of the town In case of attack. The thick adobe walls are proof against rifle fire, but offer little protection against field guns. General Navarro sent out a troop of cavalry today to intercept a band of insurrectos reported to be crossing the river from the American side a few miles east of here. He Says Diaz Must Go New Orleans. March 23. "President Diaz must step down before peace can come to Mexico." This is the declara tion of Captain Sherborne J. Hopkins of Washington, attorney for the Ma dero insurrectionists who sailed from New Orleans, late yesterday for Guata mala City for a consultation which President Caberra on matters concern ing that government. Captain Hopkins emphatically denied the report which he said emanated from Mexican offi cial circles in Washington that Amer ican interests were financing the Mex ican revolution. "The Madero family alone is furnish ing the money for the revolution." said he. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended by Gustavo Ma dero and his brother, Francisco I. Madero already and they stand ready to impoverish themselves to bring about the fall of the Diaz ring in Mexico. Thev were wise enough to transfer their Immense fortune to foreign cor porations before they emDarkea in the revolution. "There is no question of the disrup tion of the Mexican government. Diaz has no power and his boasted army could hardly cope with a Central American force.7 "Counting all his forces, he has not 16;000 men that he can depend on. The army is honeycombed with sedition and there is no such thing as a volun teer force, on which he can call. He does not dare place arms In the hands of the common people because he knows how hostile they are to him and his ministry. They do not like Limantour any more than Diaz and It will be im possible for the minister of finance to try to bring about peace." FOUND DEAD BY TRACKS. Man Supposed to Be Tliomas Ebert of RusseU Killed by Train. A men supposed to be Thomas Ebert of Russell, Kan., was killed at Silver Lake by a Union Pacific train shortly after 2 o'clock this morning. The man's badly mangled body was found this morning a short distance from the depot. Dr. H. H. Keith, county coroner, was notified and viewed the body. In the man's pocket were two $340 drafts. Both were drawn on the Rus sell State bank. One of the drafts was dated March 4, the second March 9. Ebert's gold watch was stopped at 2:40, which is presumed to have been the time he was killed. From his ap pearance, Bbert was a farmer and stockman and had been to Kansas City with a shipment of stock. Possibly, when the Union Pacific train neared Silver Lake Ebert stepped on the plat form, lost his balance and was thrown under the wheels. Again, It is possible that he might have stepped from the train at Topeka and, being unable to enter a vestlbuled coach, rode on the steps until the train neared Silver Lake, when he lost his hold and fell. The body was dragged several rods and the man's hat was found more than 100 yards from the place where the body lay. Ebert was a man about 50 years old, smooth shaven and weighed 180 to 190 pounds. WHAT MEYER SAW. Effect of Shot and Shell. Fired at the San Marcos. Washington, March 23. These are some of the things Secretary Meyer saw when he boarded the San Marcos between volleys. The dummies representing sailors In the fighting top of the ship unscathed, in spite of the great number of vol leys fired at the ship. This was a tribute to the excellence of the gun pointer's work, as they were ordered to confine their fire to the hull and tur rets. A raging fire inside the ship caused by the explosive shells which pene trated the sides and made It impossible for the observers to go below the main deck to ascertain the damage. A shell somewhat broken inside the conning tower, whose nine-Inch steel wall It had pierced on one side. This was not an explosive shell. A number of holes clear through the hull from one sideto the other, the greatest damage being -done on the farthest side of the ship. None of these holes, however, was through the 11-inch armor belt. Some dead animals and chickens killed by the interior explosions. Some of the animals however,"-were unharmed. A cat walked quietly out of one of the turrets whose base had been smashed by a 12-inch shell. The further experiments to be made with the shipp will be confined to at tacks on the armer belt and turrets. No effort will be made to raise the San Marcos. It would cast several hundred thousand .dollars to float and restore her to her original condition. She is not considered worth it. NO RELEASE FOR HANSON Supreme Court Denies His Writ of Habeas Corpus. The supreme court has denied the application for a writ of habeas corpus asked for by John Hanson, the Linds borg attorney, now in Jail at McPher son, awaiting a hearing as ot his san ity. Hanson was arrested Tuesday evening. Yesterday morning the first mail brought the application to the supreme court for the writ of habeas corpus. The court took up the matter at Its afternoon consultating and de clined to act until after the probate court at McPherson had determined whether or not Hanson was sane. Weather Indications. Chicago, March 23. Forecast for Kansas: Increasing cloudiness tonight and Friday; warmer tonight. THE SPRING ALLEGORY (IMPROVED). GOES T0PRIS0N. L. S. Naftzger, Wealthy Wichita Banker, Sentenced. Must Spend Fifteen Months in Federal Penitentiary. BURT GETS THE SAME. Callahan and the Others Given Five Tears Each. All Fined From $5,000 to $100 in Addition. Wichita, Kan., March 23. All five defendants in the stolen postage stamp cases tried at the federal court here last week were at noon today sen tenced to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. Sentences were passed by Judge John C. Pollock, before whom the trials were held. The sentences fol low: L. S. Naftzger, 15 months In prison and a fine of $5,000. Frank' S. Burt, who turned govern ment witness and gave testimony for the government, 15 months in prison and a fine of $1,000. John Callahan, five years In prison and a fine of $1,000. Edward Earl and Ray Templeton, the men who robbed the postoffices, a fine of $100 each and five years each In the penitentiary. Naftzger and Callahan will appeal their cases. L. S. Naftzger formerly was presi dent of the Fourth National bank In this city, but was removed by the di rectors of that institution when ac cusations made by Frank S. Burt, at that time chief of police, exposed his dealings in stamps. The exposure of wholesale dealings in stolen postage stamps came last fall, when a Wichita physician who had bought stamps of Naftzger told a United States postoffice inspector of his purchases. During a few weeks previous to that time about a dozen postoffioes In the vicinity of Wichita had been robbed. Naftzger told the Inspector he had bought his stamps of Burt. Burt then exposed the whole case and told how Callahan, leader of the so-called Callahan gang of post office robbers, had for weeks been sell ing stolen stamps to him. On the stand Naftzger admitted buying about $2,000 worth of stamps from Burt, but said he did not know they were stolen, even though he was getting them at about 2'5 per cent discount. SARGENT GETS JUDGESHIP Dark Horse Is Appointed by Governor Stubbs at Wichita. Thorton W. Sargent has been ap pointed by Governor Stubbs as the judge of the second division of the dis trict court for Sedgwick county. This is the new division of the court created at the same time as the seconddlvts ion of the Shawnee county court. The governor did not intend to appoint either of the judges until the last of the week and to date their commissions from April 1 so that they would begin holding court at that time. But there has been so much business developed In both counties of an es pecially urgent nature that the gov ernor was asked to make the appoint ments at once. Judge Sargent went home today and he will take up a two million dollar lawsuit tomorrow morning. The Santa Fe railroad is planning a new union depot and some elevation of tracks at Wichita. Some of the prooerty owners have brought an injunction suit to stop the Improve ment and the present judge is dis qualified because he Is one of the in terested property owners. The case will be taken up tomorrow by Judge Sar gent, as the property owners and the railroad want an early decision so that they can go ahead with the work. Sargent was not an active candidate for the appointment. There were three candidates, W. P. CTiger Bill) Camp bell, -Judge H. C. Sluss and E. L. Foulks. When the law was passed Tom Blodgett urged the governor to ap point Sargent to the new place, making Sargent the first candidate.. But Sar gent never came to Tdpeka to urge his appointment and none of those who came urged that he be given the job except Tom Blodgett, Incidentally, Governor Stubbs'- secretary Dave Leahy, who is from Wichita, went down fighting for Judge Sluss. Thornton W. Sa Kent was born In Ohio 52 years ago. He Is a gradu ate of the University of Michigan ana the Columbian Law school at Wash ington, D. C. He came to Kansas in 1886 and has been practicing law in Wichita since the summer of that year. He is regarded as one of the best at torneys and is one of the most popu lar men of that city. MUST TRY IT OYER. Bids on Memorial Building Material All Too High. The contract for the marble or granite facing of the new Memorial hall will be determined probably at the meeting of the commission next Thursday at 10 o'clock. The commis sion was In session all day yesterday, examining samples of marble and granite offered and In discussing the bids offered by the six companies to do the work and furnish the material. The commission found that if it ac cepted any of the marble or granite facing bids that it would not be able to let the contract for the construc tion of the building walls, concrete floors or partitions or install the heat ing and plumbing and wiring fixtures. The. bids were all rejected and some new specifications, with some proposed marble and granite work, like the re taining wall and some of the carving taken out.' The firms which bid yes terday wer easked to submit the new bids under the new contract and sev eral other firms that want to offer bids, but did not have time to do so will submit propositions. No action was taken regarding the contracts for the brick and concrete work or the heating, plumbing and lighting contracts. After the commis sion determines the marble or granite contracts then It will decide whether to ask for new bids on the general construction work or let the old bids as offered over a year ago stand. CONTROL OF WIRELESS. Naval Experts Say It Is Necessary for Government in Time of War. Washington, March 23. The ex perience of Admiral Schroeder's bat tleship fleet Tuesday In trying to com municate to the navy department the results of the firing by the New Hamp shire upon the San Marcos, as the test progressed, may have the effect to re new the efforts of the army and navy officers to secure legislation by con gress to regulate the use of the wire less system of telegraphy. Not a message could be got through to Washington by Admiral Schroeder, although the air line distance from his fleet to the navy yard wireless re ceiving plant here is only about 60 or 70 miles. This was principally owing to the "interference" of the many private wireless outfits being operated by in dividuals in this vicinity. The incident demonstrates clearly to the minds of the naval experts the necessity for absolute government control over all such plants in time of war, for they can easily conceive of a naval battle being fought in Chesa peake bay of which the navy depart ment should be advised. AFTER PICTURE SHOWS. Inspectors Find Many Places a Men ace to Health and Safety. New York, March 23. As a result of an Investigation by Mayor Gaynor of the moving picture shows in New York, a new system of municipal regu lation for such amusement resorts has been recommended. The report of the mayors' inspectors v alleges that many of the 440 picture shows in the city are a menace to public health and safety. One of the discoveries of the inves tigators was that attendants in some places are provided with atomizers to spray perfume through the air to allay foul odors. Many of the auditoriums had no means of ventilation except the front doors. A large" proportion of the places visited were crowded to the danger point and twenty per cent were Inadequately protected against fire or panic. The new ordinances recommended will exactly define a motion picture show and provide for uniform licens ing, for supervision by fire officials, for regular police inspection and for the enforcing of the state law prohibiting the admission of children under 16 years of age. TO DESERT CHINATOWN. Chinese Merchants Unable to Pay the Heavy Rents in That District. Chicago. March 23. Unable longer to Day the heavy rents demanded by loop" property owners, the citizens ot Chicago's Chinatown decided yester day to abandon their South Clark street haunts. The action was- taken at a meeting of the On Leone Tong, the organization of celestial merchants, and according to their plans. South Clark street will be deserted by its present mnaoitanis within a year. In more modern build ings on the West or South side. China town shorn of many of its picturesque features, will be re-established. "Thirty-five years ago." said Frank Moy, a leader of the merchant body, "we could rent a store and basement for $40 a month. Now a store rents for $250 a month and a basement for about $70." CORONATTOX OF jKING GEORGE V British Consul General Here Making Arrangements for Services. New York. March 23. Plans are be. ing made by the British consul general here for a service at Old Trinity on the day of the coronation of King George V. in London. The American societies of St- George. St. Andrew, and St. David, will co-operate. The idea is to hold the service at exactly the same hour as the corona tion service in England. Ambassador Bryce will probably attend. A similar service was held when King Edward VTI was crowned and memorial ser vices of like character took place at the hours of the funerals or Queen Victoria and King Edward. VOfilANIN CASE.

Secretary MacVeagh has approved a new cus toms ruling which the treasury depart ment expects will do much to reduce the troubles of returning tourists from Europe and minimize attempts to smug gle personal belongings into the port of New York. Under the law each American returning from abroad is en titled to bring in free $100 worth of personal belongings. The customs rul ings heretofore have been susceptible of elastic interpretation and many trou- Diesome inciaents nave arisen. The new ruling makes specific announce ment of what articles a returning American may ,brlng In free to the value of Jioo as follows: Clothing, toilet article, jewelry, per sonal ornaments, cameras, fishing tac kle, golf sticks, guns, musical instru ments, steamer rugs, toys, valises and trunks. These things will be consid ered dutiable: Household goods books, pictures, ta bleware, table and bed Iitien and sim ilar articles unless used by the owner a year abroad. Goods in the piece will have to pay duty as will presents for other persons, or articles of any na ture for sale. Of socalled expatriated. Americans proof will be required that they have abandonee; tneir nomes in the united States and taken bonaflde residences abroad. Nonresidents of the United States, however, may bring in personal effects for their own use. comfort, or conveni ence, or articles of adornment without limit of value, under the usual regula tions.

RAILWAY NOTES. Telegraph and telephone companies doing an interstate business, being subject to the interstate commerce act. must make reports regularly to the in terstate commerce commission. The Baltimore Ohio and the Cin cinnati, Hamilton Dayton offices in Cincinnati will be merged as a meas ure of economy and Joint agents will be appointed. This results from con trol of the latter by the former com pany. By the general agreement it has come to be understood that the selling of Missouri Pacific has been by th-s eorge Gould interests. Their holdings before the annual meeting were about 0,0.000 shares of a total of 832.000 shares. It is reckoned that they have liquidated about half of this. It is not believed to be their intention to sell out entirely, as it is as much to their in terest as to any other that they should realize dividends and a gooa price tor their stock in orler to pay the cost of carrying it for several years when no dividends were declared. Although he positively- declined to make any statement in regard to the matter it Is generally understood in railroad circles that President A. A. --lien of the Missouri, Kansas Texas was asked last week in New York whether he would consider an offer to assume the presidency of the Missouri Pacific. The, Railway Signal association be gan a series of sessions in Chicago Monday to extend to Thursday night, during which topics of live interest to the railroads and the public alike, touching on problems of the day in the construction and operation of railroads, will be discussed by leading railway en gineers of the United States, Canada and Mexico. A lengthened refrigerator schedule between Davenport, la., and Minne apolis, was announced Wednesday by the Rock Island company and It was stated that similar schedules would be inaugurated throughout that system.

The pro moters plan a steam and electric rail road from Kansas City to Excelsior Springs and St. Joe. The amounts set aside annually for pension allowances for employees of the Pennsylvania and controlled lines east of Pittsburg and Erie now aggre gate more than $850,000. The number of employees entitled to pensions on December 81 was 2,505. George S. Wood, -commissioner of de velopment of the Midland Continental, states that it is to be an absolutely in dependent road, that no other company has a dollar of its stock, that the Hill interests have no identification with it, and that the project is one of the largest in transportation history. There are about 15 cars of ties in the Abilene, Kan., yards which will be used on the Salina branch of the Santa Fe. These will put about 200 new ties to the mile. As soon as the ties are laid the roadbed will be ballasted and repaired. HADLET'S MILL BURNED. Flour Plant of Missouri Governor De stroyed at De Soto Yesterday. De Soto, Kan., March 23.

Larry Qninlan, Holdout, Is on Way for a Look. Breitenstein, Sabrie, Beecher, Buchanan and Thomason In. Qulgley's foxy Irish lads of St. Marys get the first game with the Kaws Sun day. Moore received a letter from Quig last eveniner nffpHnp Althpr finnrtnv fir Monday and as soon as it was learned a game could be played In time to catch a return train, the date was scheduled. This game will trive the Kaws four straight as the Chicago White Sox play three games here commencing Mon day. A new pitcher has been added to the Topeka redskin list. He is A. A. Kauf man of Terra Haute, Ind., and is a dis covery of Zeke Moore, brother of the manager and formerly a scout for ma jor clubs. Zeke persuaded his brother the man was a comer and he was sent a contract. Mr. Kaufman seemed to be bent toward Zeke Moore's belief in himself and he wrote back that he was on his way with his wife. He is just that sure of making good. He is a big fellow, six feet and two Inches tall, whips them with his right wing and is said to have everything a slab artist could ask. By the end of the week all the In dians signed and moat of the holdouts ought to have arrived. Larry Quinlan is on his way to Topeka, though he has not signed and Kerns and Mc Grath are here looking over their pros pects of a higher stipulation. A new catcher. Harkins, from the New York State, has been engaged by the man agement and is on his way to work out while Starnagle and Kerns think, it over. Albert Thomason arrived today in the best of condition ready to burn up the league and leave it. The class iest bunch to arrive in one day came in yesterday and numbered Billy Breiten stein, Eddie Sabrie, Roy Beecher, and J. Buchanan. The apeparance of the two pitchers, Beecher and Buchanan, make the box staff show up to good advantage. Buchanan was out limber ing up yesterday but Beecher did not arrive in time. Sabrie Is Here. Sabrie has his first workout here this afternoon, though he has been training with he majors at Hot Springs. Mert Whitney, the other can didate for first base was .out yester day in a uniform and looked as big as a house. He clouts the ball most v vic iously of any of the reported players and is said, seldom' to play a game with a homer or two. Here is going to be a hard task for Little Mr. Moore. He has two mighty good men for first and he is going to have to say who gets it. The weather yesterday was almost too cold to whip up but many of the iplayers were snapping them across the diamond just like "July.- Hopke and Crompton are a pair of men who look good in their practice. They both are clean muscular men with whole lot of recommendations. Around the A. A. Hopke is known as a gingerly infleld er whom any club might give a berth to advantage and Crompton narrowly missed the big show by being hooked on by the Cincinnati Reds where no outfielder has a chance to break in. Soldier Leak and Barney McGrath let out their arms in spite of the weath er and were putting the stuff on them in the practice hitting. Buchanan lim bered up also and though he appears to have a lot of loosening up to do, the veteran shows he knows what a ball game is as far as he can scent one. He has a habit of stinging the ball too and others who knew him In his palmier days say he was one of the best when family sickness and hard luck overtook him, upsetting his nerve. Now; they say, he is back with a new lease of life and that there is no doubt Instant Relief for Sore Feet Boro Feet, Tender Feet and Swollen Feet Cured Every Time, TIT.

Ill, he will do some good work in "the Western. a Breitenstein failed to locate Moore upon his 'arrival -and so appeared at the ball "ark without a uniform. He and Moore literally fell into each oth ers' arms for old time's sake. It has been seven years, they explain, since they saw each other in the Cotton Belt league when Moore was with Mobile and Briet was with Natchez. They passed, a wonderful lot of bouquets about each other's playing in those old days and almost upset the tradition governing ball players' admissions of another's ability. Bdietenstein is out today in a uniform. A big crowd of anxious fins show up at the park each day to watch the practice. A large number of tryouts still hold on and the field is full ot players every day. ROtRKES TO USE "SWEATBOX." Pickering Constructed It With Crack er Box end Alcohol Lamp. Omaha, March' 23. Spring training has begun at the new Omaha baseball ipark, 14 of the squad being in line for practice. Throwing the ball and run ning constituted the first day's practice, "just to get the kinks out." Ollie Pickering spent a great part of a aay xn Duiiaing a 'swea.t box in the training quarters. The box is wooden four feet in height and only the head of the victim is let outside. An alcohol lamp is a part of the equipment, and a basin of water is the rest. The process is as simple as the box. Light the lamp, heat the water and have steam arising around the ball player. The steam escapes slowly and It Is surely hot inside, but Pickering says there is nothing in the world that will do nuite so much toward getting the stiffness out of Pa's ball players. Pa is laying the sod on the grounds now, and hopes before many weeks to have a very presentable lawn. GRIGGS SLATED FOR OUTFIELD. Will Have To Beat Graney to Nap. Left Garden. ..Alexandria, La., March 23. From now on. Art Griggs, ex-Brown, will be worked tn the outfield. On the exhibi tion trip of the second team, which starts at Little Rock today, Griggs will play left field, and Birmingham second base. Manager McGuire figures that Birmingham does not need the outfield practice, being about perfect in that Position, but does need the infield ex perience. On the other hand, Griggs appears to be far too good a right-hand batter to De warming the bench after the season starts, and he will be given every chance to show his value as an outfielder. Then it will be a battle be tween him and Graney for left field position. If Graney hits as well as he did the latter part of last season he has the Job cinched. Otherwise Griggs may get the job. IZZY WEEDING THEM OUT. Releases Harmon, Lambeth, O'Con nell, Underbill and Dean." Wichita, March 23. The weeding out process has commenced at the ball park. Izzy has released five of the youngsters and more will probably go In the near future. The youngsters released all show promise of being first class ball players but they all lacked experience that is necessary to stick in the Jobbers' class. Harmon, Lambeth, O'Connell, Un derbill and Dean were the ones that first were let go. Harmon left last night and It is thought that he will get a place with Wellington this sea eon in the Kansas State league. O'Connell and Lambeth are other pitchers that would make good in the state league. UhderhlU has been try ing out at secon and his work has shown that he has the goods and will make a classy ball player when he has had a little more experience. He would make a star second sacker in some of the" smaller leagues, Al Shaw finally arrived in camp and is looking as fit as a fiddle. He looks like he is ready to go right now and in fact says that he never felt better in his life. He Is down to condition right now and will have no extra weight to work off. Shoddy was hitting them to the infield this morn ing and the bunch sure looked good to him;. The work of Danny Claire at third was a surprise to him and he looks for Danny to play a great game on the hard corner this year. Gould continues to show Western league class and hits 'em like a major leaguer. CRIMSON RUNNERS HONOR YALE The Blue Relay Men Had Refused a Technical Victory. New Haven, Conn., Marh 23, Yale's sportsmanship has just received a graceful tribute from Harvard. Dur ing the indoor track season, the Yal and Harvard freshman track relay teams met in a dual race at Boston.

Miller. Transportation will be sent him at once and he will re-, port next week. The acquisition of Miller should greatly strengthen the pitching staff. He was with Brooklyn all last season, pitching six full games and breaking even. He also finished several games for jother pitchers. While President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club regards Miller as a good heaver, he believes he needs further seasoning. The Roches ter club of the Eastern League made a strong bid for him, but Sioux City's of fer was better. Miller is a southpaw.

AMUSEMENTS. Ever since Henri Bernstein's play, "Tho Thief" had its great success a few ye&rs ago, that very powerful dra matist and skilled technician has been held in high esteem in this country. Consequently, the new play from his pen "The Redemption of Evelyn Vau dray," to be presented by Olga Nether sole at the Grand tonight, is looked forward to with much pleasureable anticipation, particularly since the performance here will be one of the first in this country, "Le Bercail," the original French title of the play, was a great success at the Gymnase itt Paris, George C. Tyler, of Liebler Co., saw the play there and pounced upon its American rights at once. He turned it over to Louis N. Parker, author of "Rosemary," "Pomander Walk," and "Disraeli" and adapter of "Chantecler," "L'Alglon" and "Cyrano de Bergerac," to be Englished and preparedfor our stage. Coming to the Grand Saturday mat inee and night is that famous book play, "At the Mercy of Tiberius," an emotional drama In four acts to be presented by the "Vaughan Glaser Co. of players. Unlike its companion piece, "St. Elmo," written by the same auth or, Augusta Evans Wilson, Tiberius has been made strictly modern and the dialogue and situations have the terse crispness of the modern school of playwriting. Percy MacKaye, who wrote Henri etta Crosman's great success, "Anti Matrimony," which is to be seen here, is the son of the late Steele MacKaye, who in his time was considered the greatest writer of successes we had. One of his best known was "Hazel Klrke," a play that made a fortune for the Mallorys at the Madison Square theater and scored the longest run up to that time, of any play that had ever been seen in New York. So tho Young MacKaye comes very naturally by his talent. MacKaye is called by some a "high-brow," but he says he is simply writing as he thinks he should. "Anti-Matrimony" is the kind of literature that the schools and col leges take to, and while it is a funny and other ills, due to an inactive condi tion of the liver, Stomach and Bowel, may be obtained most pleasantly and most promptly ij using Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. It is not a new and untried remedy, but is used by millions of wen-informed families through out the world to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the system whenever a laxanVa remedy U needed. .When buying note tbe full narcel of tho Company California Fig Syrup J Co., printed on every package Of thai B genuine rtegular pnee SOper bot. one too only. 1 For sale by all leading druggUta. to-. a aiMv' a j sr sw -y w p 3 PVERYBODY CAN HAVE BEAUTIFUL t-t HAIR NOW, and they don't have to wait weeks and months for results either.

Dr. D. A. play it is' written in splendid English', and because it is well written does not mean that ft is not a good play or entertaining. Reducing the plot of "The-Mummy and. the Humming Bird" to a .few lines, it would seem to appear. that Isaac Henderson merely turned an old. dress inside out, and manufactured a "made-over' garment in his dramatic workshop. That is true and untrue at the same time.

Paul Gilmore will appear at the Grand Thursday, March 30th. WANT TO HEAR NORDICA Already Applications From Out of Town Being Received. Whatever may be the opinion of art critics, by the popular verdict that is rendered through crowded houses, Mme. Nordica continues the prime favorite of the American people. Her gracious manner, generous and lady like treatment of the public, coupled with an ability to sing what the people most like to hear and a voice of the first rank, enables her to secure bookings wherever she chooses to go. She has a warm heart for Topeka and Topeka always responds- with a record house. The prospects are that when she comes to the Auditorium a week from Friday, March 31, she will be greeted with the largest house of the season. Nordica not only draws Toneka people, but from the surround- ing towns. Already orders for seats are pouring in from outside, notwith- standing that the advertising so tar has net informed these- people from the outside how to secure seats. They can be obtained by writing George Stansfield, enclosing the price. FREIGHT MEX IX SESSIOX. Ten Railroads Entering Kansas City Are Represented. Kansas City, Mo., March 23.

People used to think that baldness was one of those things which are handed down from generation to gen eration, from rather to son just like a family heirloom. Science has shown the falseness of this belief by proving that baldness Itself is not a constitutional disease, but the result of a germ invasion of which only Herpicide can effectually na xne scalp. Washing only cleans the scalp of Jjanarun, its doesn't kill the germs. "Destroy the cause you remove the effect." Newbro's Herpicide will do this in every case. It is also a delightful dressing.

MORTGAGES ARE SAME. Does Not Mean That Farms Are No Kicher. Increasing Their Holdings and Placing Improvements on Land. Kansas makes a very favorable show ing in the agricultural statistics as just issued. The total value of farm lands increased three-fold in the decennlum from 1900 to 1910, or over one billion dollars. Owing to the increase in pop ulation and the advances in irrigation the farmed area increased during the year by 4 per cent. There are 4,000 more farmers in the state than ten years ago, more farms, more tenant farmers and more farm owners. The number of farm mortgages is about the same, which does not mean that the farmers are no richer than ten years ago, but on the contrary that they have been increasing their holdings and placing improvements on their farms. Perhaps a few farm mortgages may be due to autos, but the number is probably not large. During the ten years the number of smaller farms, with the exception of truck patches, have diminished. Over one-third of the farms of the state are 175 acres and over. The number of negro and Indian farmers is decreasing. The farmers of the state spent less for farm fertilizers in 1910 than in 1900, but this is probably due to better con servation of the fertility of their farms and the use of barnyard fertilizers. Statements relative to the acreage of crops and the yields will be made later by Census Director Durand as the tab ulation of this data has not been com pleted. Only One Decrease Shown. The principal rates of increases in Kansas in 1910 as compared to 1900 are: In the total value of all farm land alone, 1S8 per cent; in the average val ue per acre of farm land alone, 178 per cent; in the total value of farm land and buildings, 169 per cent; in the average value per acre of farm land and buildings. 159 per cent; In the total expenditures for labor, 90 per cent; in the total value of farm build ings alone, 79 per cent; in the total value of all farm implements and ma chinery, 64 per cent; in the total im proved farm acreage, 19 per cent; in the whole number of farms, 2 per cent; and in the average acres per farm, 1 per cent. The only decrease during the decade occurred in the total expenditures for fertilizers, 73 per cent. The statement shows in detail that the number of farms reported in 1910 was 177,299, as compared with 173,098 in 1900, an increase of 4,201, or 2 per cent. Farm "Values Have Trebled. The total value of farm lands and buildings was given in 1910 as 733,653,000, asagainst $643,653,000 in 1900, an Increase of $1,090,000,000, or 160 per cent. The total value of all farm land alone was reported in 1910 as $1,534, 552,000, as compared with $532,188,000, a gain of $1,002,364,000, or 188 per cent. DROWNED IX A MINE.

There will be much repining among certain men because they did not fl-id It before the new conservation move tment got under; way. The government owns -hundreds of billions of tons of coal on several sections of its domain In the western section of the country. State bounties for babies and. pre miums for large families to be paid y a tax levied on chronic bachelors la a plan which las been projected Jnto the Illinois legislature by one of that state's senators. Evidently all of the freak legislation is not born In Kansas. An Assyrian, who has been peddling shoestrings in New Tork, Is in cus tody and suspected of being insane be cause he happened to express a wish for a million dollars. If this was the test of insanity, almost everybody in the world, except the millionaires, would be in that sad plight. A ctuarter of a million Kansans have already seen the tuberculosis ex hibit that the state board of health has been displaying throughout the state, 'and the results of this educa tional campaign against the great white plague are certain to be large. This Is one of those state activities that is decidedly worth while. People, including the criminals, are -pretty much the same the world over. The Camorrists, who are on trial in Italy on. charges tt murder,, arson-and all other high crimes and misde meanors, insist that they are victims of a plot on the part of those7 en trusted with preserving order in that land. PEACE OFFICERS AT WAR. It has been -apparent for several days past that the officials of the city police department and the county peace of ficers have not been working in har mony on the solution of the Piatt mur der mystery. Indeed, the opposite has been the case. They have been, and are at s wordy points.' But this is no unsuai situation in Topeka and Shaw nee county. It's the-rule rather than the exception, and has been such for many years back. Whenever a serious .crime of baffling proportions has developed in this lo cality, the process of solving 'it and bringing the guilty parties to justice has never gone on very far before there has been a rupture; between the city police and the county officials.. It has often been the case that they have worked at cross-purposes from the very start of a criminal investigation of this sort. And this is one of the controll ing reasons why several crimes that have been committed in this vicinity have gone unpunished. It may be that Jealousy is the prin cipal reason for such actions on the part of the city and county peace of ficials. There can be no other good ex planation. And if that is the case it makes their attitude in this respect a ridiculous one. If there was less quar reling among city and county officials as to whose right it is to do this and do that in connection with a major crime and the handling of a major criminal, it is likely that much better progress would be made in bringing these cases to a head. To be sure the laws of Kansas are such that there is something of a con flict of authority between city and county officials, but that is not a suf ficient reason why these officials should not work together in all criminal cases. It is to the interests of the community that they do so, and when they do not they show themselves to be unfitted for the positions that have been entrusted to their hands. TRAIFF LEGISLATION. If the coming congress, with the Democrats in control of tha house of representatives, follows the suggestions of President Taft in the Important matter of tariff legislation. It will be to the advantage of the whole country. Nor should it harm the Democratic cause in any particular. Rather would It enhance it and show that the Demo crats are of a mind to serve the best interests of the whole people in the best possible way. Advices from Washington are to the effect that in his message to congress the president will devote his attention almost exclusively to tariff matters. Ha will strongly urge the passage of the Canadian reciprocity bill which is of such essential importance as the open ing wedge, of reciprocity agreements worth while with other countries. And insuch reciprocity treaties are to be found the best possible' solution', of many of the more vexing tariff prob lems. This bill passed the house in the last congress with the aid of the Dem ocrats, and inasmuch as they control the next house it is likely to be passed again by that body In short order. And the chances are good that it will go through the senate despite the opposi tion of Senators Cummins, Bristow and others of the insurgent Republicans who have heretofore insisted that they were the only true disciples of tarif reform. How they can reconcile their attitude on the Canadian reciprocity plan with their previous attitude on tariff matters is one of those mysteries, the solution of which will be interest ing, if nothing more. As to general tariff legislation Presi dent Taft is going to suggest that It be confined to the creation of a bona fide tariff commission to supersede the pres ent special tariff board. And he will prefer that congress defer any revision of the tariff until the regular session next December when the special tariff board will be able to report the result of its Investigations surrounding the woolen and other important schedules. It is pretty generally admitted now adays that tha nearest approach to a perfect tariff can only be attained through the medium of investigations ty a tariff commission. A committee of congress, no matter how faithful t may be, has not the time nor the facil ities to make the necessary investiga tions in this respect. The chance there fore is at hand for the new congre.-'S immediately to start the machinery in motion for a scientific revision of the tariff which can be begun when the regular session, of congress meets in December." This may not be agreeable to tha Democratic leaders in the houe who are' evidently planning to do more or less tariff tinkering at the coming session. But it is the right way for the handling of the tariff question; n6ne theless. GOVERNING A GERMAN CITY. The German city has no mayor, writes Frederic C. Howe In the April Scribner in an intensely Interesting ar ticle entitled: "The German and the American City." It has an Oberburger meister, who corresponds roughly to our mayor. His legal authority is far less than that enjoyed by the patri archal executives of New Tork, Balti more, or Boston. In desperation over our inability to watch a hundred men we decided to watch but one. In or der to escape from a troublesome coun cil we threw ourselves into the hands of an all-powerful executive. But we did not insist that the despot should be an enlightened one or should know anything more about the government of a city than the council t which we discarded. He need only be an active politician, an ambitious business man. r an aggressive leader. The head of the German city is an expert. Both the Oberburgermeister and the assistant Burgermeisters make a profession of their callings. Nobody knows to what party they belong. And nobody really cares. They are like, the managers of a great business concern and are employed by the city council for that purpose, -much as they .might be employed to manage a railroad. The present mayor of Berlin was a lawyer in Breslau. He 'was elected to the council of the latter city, became In terested In city administration, and de termined to make city administration a profession. He was chosen for a subordinate post and made such a suc cess that he was called to the mayor alty of Berlin, where he has been for many years. Dr. Adickes, the Ober burgermeister of Frankfort, has occu pied that post for a quarter of a -century. Few men in Germany can point to a life of more conspicuous achieve ment than his. He recently declined a post in the interior department of Prussia. Oberburgermeister Wilhelm Marx, of Dusseldorf, came to that city from a smaller town ZD years ago. He is a man of independent wealth. He rose to his present position and for 13 years has been mayor of the city. During these years he has builded as did Pericles in Athens and the Medici in Florence. And he has made Dussel dorf one of the most finished cities In the world. Tenure of office is permanent. If a mayor is re-elected, after his first term of 12 years, he holds office for life.

It seems that the queerer women's clothes are cut and made the more stylish they are considered. Never condemn a jealous wife too harshly. The majority of women are not inclined to jealousy of a husband without good cause. According to many of the patent med icine advertisements the most severe cold Is very easily broken.

J A YHA WKER JOTS The new hats for women fit so close ly over the head that the Cherrwale Journal thinks they will have to be put un wnn a snoe norn. The Spring Hill New Era has fieured it out that some people can't see tha error of their way because of the habit they have of looking at yours. The Lawrence Gazette thinks it is eo- ing to be up to the medical sharps very soon now to say whether the spring fever is contagious or epidemic. Says the Hutchinson News: "Since a foot or so has been taken off the outer edge of women's hats men will be able to go to church again and see the preacher, or the choir." The Downs News says there is a man In Downs bo dirty that when he moves from one locality to another the fac: should be chronicled in the local news papers under the head of "Real Estate Tranfers." Another story about the Central Branch: A traveling man at Water vllle was trying to get out of town, as he had seen his customers. He asked the station agent when there would be another train. "I don't know,'' replied the station agent, "but you might go ask old lady Smithers over there across the street as they do say she is sort of a fortune teller." Old Bill Shiftless has a new schema. Bill is sore at all the merchants In town, reports the Osborne Farmer. Before they got onto him Old Bill used to stand the merchants off for various amounts. He never paid and the mer chants now refuse to extend him any credit. Some qf them have talked pretty mean to him while dunning him. But a dun or a cussing never phases Old Bill. Bill now has a mail order house catalogue. He shows it to all his friends and tells them how much better they can do by sending away for their stuff. "I am for my home town," said Old Bill the other day, "but I want decent treatment. When I am a little hardup I have a right to ask for credit I will pay every cent I owe when I can get around to it. But I intend to make some of them sweat. The fellows who have dunned me to death will never get a cent. They made good money on the stuff thev .sold me, and my first duty is to my family. I will square it with the fellows who have been decent." Tt might be remarked that there isn't a merchant in town who has been decent with Bill, for all of them have dunned him to a frazzle.

KANSAS COMMENT DEFENSE OF THE HAREM, A great deal of feeling is being ex pressed by folks whom it doea not con cern over the approach of the harem skirt fashion, in the Illinois legis lature a statesman of the Kansas va riety has introduced a bill to prohibit the wearing of harem or even of hobble skirts. Leading newspapers have de voted columns of space to attacks on the Insidious skirt and doctors and di vines have declared it unhealthy and ungodly. Tha only question that should bother the male public is whether the harem skirt Is singular or plural. Is it in fact a. skirt like a meal sack with slits up the sides or is it a pair of pants sewed partially together? Should this new freak of fashion be called "it" or "they?" With this little doubt settled, seems to the ordinary citizen that if a lady wishes to wear a barmen skirt she should have the right to do so. Any thing which keeps below tho knees and is not contrary to the public safety U allowable to be worn. The old men and cynical critics who fuss around about the style of architecture of lady's wear ing apparel should go to the display windows of the dry goods stores during a. "white goods" sale, and thereafter hold their peace. Any man who can glance over the advertisements in the magazines for the toilet affairs, acces sories and deficiencies, will realize that the true Reformer will not waste time in an argument against an inoffensive harem skirt. The women won't like the harem skirts any more than they did the hobble, oe the freak before that. But the moralist should stop fooling with it or them, as the :case may be, and turn his attention to the horrors tha. are advertised and turn his head tha other way. Billy Morgan. FATE1 OF THE HOMELY GIRL. No man would have dared to think such a thing, much less to say it, but here comes Miss Imogens Kelly, of Brooklyn, herself a student, talking right out in meeting to this effect: "If the girls at Wellesley were more attractive they would be married and there would be less pressing need of college education for them." She qualifies the remark by saying that "there are many attractive girls there, of course," but repeats: "The majority possess; that quality of looks that warns them that it is better to prepare for self-support." So the homely girl is driven., to the necessity of getting a liberal education, while the pretty girl marries young and settles down to the care of a family, and not because she is competent, but simply because she is good to look upon. We are not at all sure but the gods are kinder to the plain girl than to the pretty one, even on this theory of col lege education. Knowledge is a good thing of itself, and capacity for self-support a very convenient thing to have on hand. In many cases it is an advantage, too, to be delivered from the perils of marry ing the first younar man that comes along. Besides, the accomplished wo man has some attractions, even from a matrimonial standpoint. On the Whole. tho fata nt th h girl might be worse: Wichita Beacon. FROM OTHER PENS WOMEN, AND CHINESE HAIR. The thousands of women who wear hair that is not their own in comDli- ance with the mandates of a few in dividuals who assume authority to de cide what is fashionable and what is not may find comfort in the assurance trom China that the hair of dead Chinese is not put on the market. Ac companying this statement is one that the hair used in the making of the unattractive displays seen at theaters and churches is from the combings saved by the attendants of Chinese women, and that the pigtails recently ordered cut off have not yet been shipped abroad in lots large enough to affect the hair market Perhaps the queues are being held back by the hair traders for the purpose of keep ing prices up and that there may be manipulation of the hair market is suggested by the value of exports from Honkong alone $700,000 in gold dur ing 1910 while the total value of ex ports was $1,500,000 last year. The price has dropped from $2 a pound to 98 cents for the "choicest grades" since the Chinese learned that for eigners were willing to wear the hair for which millions of the yellow race had no further use. But these facts do not appear to disturb American women who "follow- the fashions," whether or not they are in good taste. It is singular that the west Is willing to lake the refuse combings of Chi nese heads and utilize, them for "adornment." Providence Journal. PROFITABLE PATRIOTISM. A good many simple-minded Amerl cans marveled at the newspaper narra tive which declared the other day that a certain wen known American woman, now the wife of an Englishman, had re turned to this country to get an ad vance of a million dollars from her share of the family fortune for use during the approaching coronation. Recent dispatches from London indi cate that the lady will have plenty of ways to spend her money without strewing 5 notes before the royal car riage. It is stated that wealthy Amer icans, who have not already secured quarters for the coronation season, and who expect to entertain extensively on that occasion, are doing some lively blading ror tne more desirable houses When peers and high society people are already in the market for what they can make out of visitors, it is easy to guess what the hotel managers and shopkeepers will be doing later on. No one questions for a moment that the British people are genuinely devo ted to their new king, and are anxious. for purely sentimental reasons, to have his coronation fittingly observed. Still, it cannot be denied, in view of the mil lions, of money, that will be spent in connection with the event, that a coro nation is a highly profitable form of entertainment. Binghamton Press.

THE EVENING STOR Y A Purple Velvet Gown. By Frank Ashley Wells.) Arthur looked in perplexity from Angelica's dirt-streaked face and be draggled costume to the trembling and cowering Thomas Jefferson White. Thomas Jefferson's complexion, nor mally rich seal brown, had for the moment assumed the pleasing tint peculiar to an ash heap. "Get out of here and finish that work, and mind what you are about! Won't you please sit down?" The first portion of the remark was addressed to Thomas, who departed with commendable promptness; the latter, naturally in a more concilia tory tone,- to Angelica, who flung her self into the indicated chair. Arthur carefully surveyed Angelica and his heart sank until he imagined that ho heard it thump against the soles of his patent leathers. Angelica's purple velvet gown bore numerous huge blotches of black; her plume, recently nodding in its im maculate whiteness, dropped ashamed beneath a burden of sooty filth. There was also dirt upon Angelica's face and fire in Angelica's eye. Arthur realized that this was an oc casion calling for the exercise of the most delicate diplomacy. His inquiries, deftly put, at length elicited a fairly coherent recital of the events imme diately preceding the stormy advent or Angelica into nis sanctum euiu torum. The story was: Thomas Jefferson, in the discharge of one or nis numer ous duties as factotum of the gents' furnishing house of Burke Foster Arthur being the first named of the firm) had inadvertently swept a mass of filth, the basis of which was soot, from the top of the unrolled display window awning at tne identical m stajit that Angelica passed beneath, with disastrous results to both hat and gown. "What is the extent oi me dam age?" Arthur asked. "It's ruined," Angelica giowerea. "I er refer to the pecuniary loss," Arthur hastily interjected, discerning a resumption of the storm. Angelica s brow assumea a oeep frown and she cogitated for a mo ment.!"":. "I Daid $300 for my suit," she an nounced uncompromisingly. Arthur ruminated.- Even to his ex perienced eye the gown seemed ruin ed. Being unacquainted with mil linery fabrics, he was not so certain with respect to the hat. Obviously, it was Thomas Jefferson's fault. It was also as obvious that as Thomas Jeffer son received but eight dollars per week for his more or less valuable services, upon which he was engaged in the task of supporting a helpmeet and rearing numerous and hungry pro eenv. it was as possible to deduct the amount from his wages as to extract blood from a turnip. Arthur, as the visible representative of the firm, would have to do some thlntr. The easiest way. out of the matter would have been to write out a check for the amount without further ado. But it unfortunately nappenea that three hundred dollars was the ovnnt sum Arthur required to com plete the purchase price of a new motor car upon which he had set his heart, and he was not disposed to give up the car wltnout an eiron. "I'll tell you what I'll do," he an nounced hopefully. "If you will send me the hat and gown, I will have them cleaned." Angelica was not disposed to be un reasonable. "Very well," She answered in her most freezing tone, "I will give you a CtlELIlCGa She was on the point of sailing ma jestically from the office when she caught sight of her reflection in a mirror and hesitated. Arthur under stood and, springing gallantly across the room, with a deep bow flung open the door of a lavatory. At this evidence of thoughtfulness, Angelica thawed perceptibly, and it was with a little less than her queen-of-all-the-Russias air that she enter ed the lavatory and closed the door. Fifteen minutes later it was a dif ferent Angelica who emerged. Her face wore its usual aspect, and while the spots in the gown still looked big there was a vast improvement in the general appearance of the garment, and her hat, denuded of its plume, which she bore in her hand, was really presentable. Arthur looked at her as if she wer a butterfly. Angelica, furiously angrz, and with soiled face and garments, was scarcely prepossessing. Angelica, re lieved of the greater portion of the visi ble effects of Thomas Jefferson White's blunder, and restored to a state of par tial calm, was rather more than charming. Arthur was humbleness itself as he bowed her out; and Angelica was gra ciousness personified. After which Arthur sat. down and made an honest effort to clear away the mass of mail on his desk. But somehow Angelica's face as he had last seen it continu ously intruded itself between his eyes and his work until, noon arriving, he gave up in. despair and departed for lunch. Then he sought out his friend Mr. Samuel Hayes, of the Universal Dry Cleaning company. "Sam," said Arthur, depositing hi s glass upon the mahogany, "can you clean purple velvet?" Mr. Hayes frowned meditatively at the bit of twisted lemon peel at the bottom of his glass, and finally an swered confidently: "Show -me- anything I can't clean in the dry goods line and I'll blow you to a dinner." Arthur was delighted. Arrangements were completed on the spot for restor ing the purple velvet gown to its pris tine beauty, and Arthur hastened back to his office. I Two hours later the velvet ,gown, carefully wrapped by Arthur's own hands, was speeding via special mes senger to the nlant of tlio TTiiIdimi Dry Cleaning -company. ix Artnur imagined that his troubles were, over he was speedily disabused of the idea. The expressed confidence cf his friend Sam was not borne out In deed.- It-proved an easy task to re habilitate the hat, but the gown ah, the gown! ihe. Stains i-efiiaaA tn. tret Avan tin der the stimulus of a cash bonus whiou Mr. Hayes offered his cleaners. Meaa- wnue, Mr. Hayes learned to anathe matize his friend Arthur in a most wnoie-souled manner. Arthur, on hi part, thought evil things of Mr. Hayes and took a fiendish pleasure in exacting the penalty of the dinner, when that gentleman at last confessed himself beaten. Then began a carrmaiern anions: the cleaning establishments of the great city tne like of which was never seen before. Arthur scarcely ate or sleDt. Business was neglected. His face be came haggard. His eyes assumed a wild, unearthly light. By day and by night the gown was upon his mind when his thoughts were not occupied by the owner of the gown, whom he had seen several times, ostensibly iu regard to the progress he was making in the elimination of the spots. As far as Angelica herself was- con cerned, she had lost interest in the fate of the gown and her attention became rather forcibly centered in Arthur. Summer was passing by. The gown, like a frayed, and oft-rejected manu script, came back from the last of tha dry cleaners, the pile practically gone from it and the results of Thomas Jef ferson White's misguided efforts bigger and blacker than ever. Arthur called at the home of An gelica, bearing his personal check for three hundred dollars. Some hours later he left. The steps which led up to Angelica's front door may have been in their usual place, but as Arthur floated on air, he neither saw nor needed them. Also, the thr hun dred-dollar check reposed in his pock- CLDOOK. The following day, the stub bearing Angelica's name was marked "Can celed," and the next following display ed the name of a well-known jewelry firm. Autumn arrived. Thomas Jefferson White, resplendent in a new suit of black and distinguished bv his broad and happy grin, opened the door for an enaiess procession of guests at An gelica's home. As the harpers struck up the wed ding march and the bride elided into the large drawing room, a universal gasp of astonishment went up, when it was discovered that instead of tha conventional white she wore purple velvet.

Knapp, the representative of the department of agriculture, who nas nad in charge the work of the boys' corn clubs, tells some intertist ing stories Of the pluck and persever-, ance of the prize winners. In nine southern states last year there, were 4t,o contestants. It was no easy task in many instances to overcome paren tal inoinerence or even opposition. Dr. Knapp tells of one boy who was very anxious to raise some corn, but had no ground. So his father said. "Well, you can have an acre over there on the hillside if you will clear the stump3 ana logs off." The little fellow worked hard and cleared tha land, and then his father took it away from him. The little chap was not discouraged. When tne farm demonstrator came around the boy appealed to him, and he is turn apepaled to the father, who said: "Well,; I will let him have another :acre over there on the same hillside, pro vided he clears '.-.'-off-., the logs and stumps."

She is laid up for good because of old age and infirmities. The boat was built in 1868, in South Brooklyn, by James Leary, and missed scarcely a trip from the department of correction wharf, at East Twenty-sixth street, until 1905, when the craft was refitted with boilers, etc. at a cost of $14,000. Abe Hummel, the Polllon sisters, and other New Yorkers not unknown t fame of a sort have had free rides on the Minnahannoek.

"The Harem skirt has been brought into disrepute and subjected to ridi cule because some ill-bred women have worn on the streets only such garments of that style as are suitable for the drawing room." This is the opinion of Madame Saverie of the Wooltex company, who lectured at the Grand Wednesday afternoon on spring and summer fashions. The Harem walking skirt, as shown on one of Madame Savarie's models, is nothing but a divided skirt with panals on the front and back buttoned to within a few Inches of tne bottom of the skirt. It is not a garment that any one could criticize as being im modest, and it has all the advantages of a narrow skirt without the handi cap of hampering the movements of the wearer. The soft Turkish trousers with their slashed overskirts, are for the drawing room, and not for street, "and no well bred woman wishes to be conspicuous on the street, however much she expresses her individuality in dress in her own home or me homes of her friends." Madame S. Avarie is traveling with two good looking models who wore the gowns, cloaks, and hats that she used to illustrate her lecture. Some of the garments were from Paris; others were American made clothes duplicating the Paris creations. When the first model entered wearing" a lace and satin gown; three women on the front row jumped up to get a look at the nang of the skirt around the bottom, but someone back of them mistook their object and whispered to her neighbor. I thought they were going uy u-i it." Most of the women in tne nouse wished in their hearts they might go up after it: for the tentn arucie i the Mosaic Decologue is broken in div ers and sundry ways. Lace drapery is to be in vogue again after the fashion for ebroideries has begun to die out. The softest silks are to be worn for evening gowns, and petticoats are no longer tolerated, but in their place knickerbockers of soft materials will be used. A handsome gown or oiu blue, embroidered in small gold bugles, and an evening dress of white satin, rtrancil In irvale rose chiffon and finished with a wide band around the bottom of the skirt in deep rose color, were exquisite in material ana design. ,..icr n7-or to be worn at the thea ter or for a piazza shawl, was made of hand stamped net. yaras anu yojua of It, and edged with mara bou. It could be draped about the shoulders, thrown over the head, and still enough of it was left over to reach the hem of the gown. Coats for motoring and for Country club wear were shown, and in many cases their individuality would be marked by an extreme side fastening, by irregular lengths, or an odd way of belting, or In the shape and kind of buttons used. The jackets are short, usually, but should vary in length according to the figure of the wearer. "In America. Madame said, "the women are deter mined to have what they conceive to be the newest fashion, regardless of its suitability to their individual style. In France the women study ef fects, and attend to the detail of the design afterwards. A' stout woman in France would not wear the shortest jackets, but she would wear the length that gave the best lines. For the same reason women should dress to please men; for they consider ef fects in lines and coloring, without perhaps knowing how they were ob tained. But a man is pleased with a becoming costume regardless of the exact number of inches from the shoulder to the hem." Many of the short jackets were trimmed in con trasting colors on the shoulders,' and that was for the purpose of maintain ing the correct "balance" of the lines, when the hips are larger; or when the shoulders are too broad, to present the correct proportions, a trimming around the bottom of the jacket may be used. An especially smart jacket of light champagne color was trimmed in small rows of gun metal buttons. "America is the place to buy tailor ed clothes. Good looking ready made clothes can hardly be secured in Paris, except at exorbitant prices. It is no longer necessary in this country to go to the large cities to see the new est styles; for your western merchants have them, and they show them to you. In Paris one iB not shown the handsome new garments, unless one Is a regular buyer,.or signs a contract to purchase. That is one reason why there are so many more well dressed women in America than In European coun tries." It was noticeable that the skirts of the French street suits were longer than we are accustomed to seeing here and Madame Savarie accounted for it by the fact that French women do not have pretty feet. 'The French shoe. she said, "looks like a violin case-after an elephant has stepped on it, but more lately the French women have adopt ed the American made shoes, and are now willing to wear their dresses short er in accordance with the American notion of convenience. t "The men are the makers, of jokes on women's clothes, but let them re member that it has not been more than 150 years since men were wear ing more ridiculous clothes than wo men have ever worn, with their knee breeches and silk hose; their buckled high heeled shoes, their powdered, beribboned, false hair falling around their shoulders; their frills of lace in the sleeves, and cascades of It falling from their necks, etc. They have adopt ed common sense suits, and now let them not criticise us when we wish to do the same thing. Women's clothes were never so sensible as they are at present, and never more beautiful in line and color." Madam Savarie is a pleasing speak er, a thorough master of the technicali ties of her subject; her diction and voice entirely satisfactory, and better still, she tells you the things you go to a fashion show to hear. The house was well filled, and the audience thor oughly interested.

Judge Tells Sherlflf to Put Stop to Juggling of Commitments. There will be no more juggling of the processes of the law as regards liquor sentences and commitments after Judge A. W. Dana of the first division of the district court pro nounces the- sentence. Sheriff Norton and others of the sheriff's force ap peared before Judge Dana this morn ing to learn where they come in on the commitment business. He told them in forceful manner to take cus tody as soon as a sentence was pro nounced. This all follows the Bradford inci dent of yesterday. Fred Bradford, colored, who makes his home and his money over near the Sardou bridge in North Topeka, was sentenced on five counts yesterday. He entered a plea of guilty to this little quintette of charges which in the aggregate means a fine of $500 and five months in jail. But his lawyer had taken him up to receive the token and neglected to notify the sheriff. Bradford had entered his plea several weeks ago and his sentence was de ferred. His attorney, W. I. Jamison, arranged with. County Attorney Simon to have him sentenced. Judge Dana performed the ceremony but no officer took charge of Bradford, and he went on home. It is the duty of the clerk of the court to issue to the sheriff a commit ment to jail following these sentences. An examination of the record of the case shows that the words "Hold com mitment" had been written across the entry of yesterday. Clerk Thomas ex plained that this was done at the re quest of Mr. Simon, county attorney. Members of the sheriff's force were Informed that this action was taken in order to allow Bradford to get out and rustle up his attorney's fees and also that $25 per count which he must nay the successful prosecutor.

An effort will be made in the city to raise $1,000 in order that it will be pos sible to' retain the Topeka battery of the Kansas national guard.

Truskett, charged with the murder of J. D. S. Neeley of Lima, Ohio, was secured today. There are ten farmers, one carpenter and one workman on it. Prosecuting Attorney T. H.

He said the evidence will show that Trus kett, smarting under imagined wrongs, deliberately and premeditated ly lay in wait for Neeley, carefully in quired as to his movements, followed him to the Palace hotel and without provocation shot him down in cold blood. He said the examination of Neeley's clothes showed -he did not even have a pocketknlfe. Fred Neeley, son of the dead man, was called as first witness. Because of a technicality he was not allowed to testify at this time. George A. Per ry, proprietor of the Palace hotel, testified he saw Truskett and Neeley inthe hotel lobby before the shooting.

Now she complains that she was ill with typhoid fever in August, 1909, and was unable to care for her busi ness interests and while in this con dition her husband completed a trade of the city property for farm property. The trade "was made with Mr. and Mrs. William T. McLaughlin and so far as the trade itself is concerned the old lady has no complaint, but what she is sore about Is that her husband had his own name written into the deed along with hers, thereby gaining a half interest In the property traded for. When she asked him to see the deed, she says he told her he had left it with the register of dpeds. 'The next time she asked to see it, she says he said he could not possibly recall what he had done with it. Finally, how ever, she discovered it and there now is something going on in. the family circle. T. R. AT BERKELEY. The Colonel Delivers the Annual Charter Day Address. Cincinnati, March 23. George B.

The ferreting out of "loan sharks" in the several gov -ernment departments will follow ac tivity displayed by their chiefs as a re sult of the initiative taken by Director Ralph of the bureau of engraving and printing. The director has suspended 12 of his employees for alleged "loan shark" operations and suspensions or dismissals are said to be likely to en sue in other branches of the govern ment service where a practice has pre vailed among a number of capitalist employees of lending money to their more needy fellows at exhorbitant rates of interest. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, Postmaster General Hitchcock, Secre tary of Agriculture Wilson and Secre tary of Commerce and Labor Nagel have instituted investigations in their respective departments and promise to make the "loan shark" business a thing of the past.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUE1TAE THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1911. Commencing at S:30 Friday Morning V?. GIVEN A SHOCK. Kansas National Guardsmen Ex cited Over Examination. Many Questions Have Keference to Japan. PO WEU OF EXPLOSIVES This Also Is a Feature of the Quizzes. Adjutant General Martin Says There's No Reason for Alarm. Members of the Kansas National guard are becoming quite excited over the list of questions sent out to the officers for the spring examination. The questions take an entirely differ ent turn from any sent out formerly and much space is devoted to Japan and possibilities in the event of a war. The queries also take-up many ques tions about the force of various ex plosives and the power of different rifles. The state conducts a correspondence school for the members of the guard and the officers. A list of books is sent out and at stated periods a set of questions is sent to each man. The questions are based on the books .tid the ranking of the officers is fixed ac cording to the correctness of the an swers given.. Many of the officers and j men believe that the government and Btate military authorities have a deep er purpose in giving out the present question than the average person would not discover. The questions re late entirely to war subjects and not to any instructions or orders that usually are given out iii a time of peace. C. I. Martin, adjutant general of the K. N. G. said today that there should not be any undue excitement about these questions as it" just happened that this set should come out at this time when there was talk of a pos fcible war with Mexico and with Japan. One of the questions is: "How long is a bullet of the United States maga zine rifle in the air during its maxi mum flight?" Another wants to knovv the relative power of dynamite, nitro glycerine, nitro-gelatine and gun cot ton. Another wants to know the pene trating power" of the different rifles used by the government," Siege guns, artillery, navy rifles and the small magazine rifles carried by infantry men. Another question asks about the war strength of the United States and cf other countries, especially Japan and the territory of. the United States and the island posessions. Question 18 is, "What would be the probable number of transports, .largest size, re quired to transport an army of 200,000 men from Japan to the western coast of the United States?" The next question asks how long it would take this fleet to reach the United States. The last and most important questions of the set follows: "What opinion have you on the fol lowing hypothesis: Japan, without making any declaration of intention to attack any nation, commences to em bark a large army of, say. 20Q.000 men. on her transports at Yokohama and Nagasaki. What action would the United States take? The officers of the gu&rd are expect ed to make a full and complete an ewer and discussion of all the possi bllities that might arise should such a force be embarked.

WHITC0M3 IS NAMED. Appointed Judge of Second Division of District Court. It is Judge George H. Whitcomb, of the second division of the district court for Shawnee county now. Gover nor Stubbs, at 6 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, appointed the new judge and as soon as the court room can be arranged and Judge Whitcomb can ge his law practice out of the way the new division of the court will be in working order. The governor did not intend to name either of the two new judges until Saturday. That would give them sufficient time to get the court 500ms and all the necessary legal affairs straightened out so that the new di vision of the court could begin work April 1. But there are some urgent George H. Wliitcomb. .Judge of the New Topeka District Court. matters in Shawnee county to be taken up at once so the governor was urged to make thi appointment. Mr. Whitcomb was the only candi date for the place and there never has been any doubt of his appointment. The County Bar association endorsed Judge Whitcomb for the position. The governor and the judges of the su preme court knew much of Mr. Whit comb. He was one of the receivers in the suits which- drove the brewing companies out of the state. He is one of the best known attorneys practicing in Topeka and also one of the most popular ones. George H. Whitcomb was born in Stockbridge. Vt., in 1858. He was ed ucated in the common schools, at Til ton seminary, Dartmouth college and the Boston University Law school. He was admitted to the bar in 1S87 and came to Topeka in that year -to make this his home. For ten years the law firm was Fuller Whitcomb. Then Judge Whitcomb practiced alone until 1903 when the present partnership with Clad Hamilton was formed. Judge Whitcomb was married in 18SS at Ful ton, Mo., to Miss Jessie Wright, a tal ented woman who is also a lawyer and for a time had an office with her hus band. WINDOWS SHATTERED. Fifty Miles Gale Does Mtrch Damage in New York. New. York, March 23. A north westerly gale that blew away all touches of spring that have been lin gering in the air and at times reached a velocity of 50 miles an hour played curious pranks in this city during the night and early today. Plate glass windows were shattered, vessels In the harbor strained at their anchors and river craft had difficulty in navigating. Over at the docks in South Brooklyn the lighter Elizabeth Washburn, loaded with 700 hogshead of oil, was torn loose, turned over and sank. The two men on board jumped overboard and swam ashore. Newport, R. T., March 23. A heavy northwesterly gale drove the torpedo boat destroyer Burroughs from her berth in the Inner bay and landed the craft on the mud flats -at the foot of Cherry street early today. The Bur roughs was resting easy on an even keel and this morning was considered safe, although very near a rock ledge.

Eugene Smyth Sent to Arizona by Uncle Sain. Will Attempt to Find Methods to Eradicate Alfalfa Test. WOKKS IN THE WEST. Most Destructive in Region of Salt Lake. Rapid Rise of Topeka School Boy. High Eugene G. Smyth, a Topeka boy,' who is entomological assistant in the United States department of agricul ture, has gone to Arizona, where he will spend the summer studying the operations of the alfalfa weevil and other alfalfa insects. Mr. Smyth re cently returned from a trip to Smy- rna, where he spent five months fight ing the big worms. As soon as his work was completed, he was assigned to the Arizona task. Before leaving for Arizona, Mr. Smyth stopped in Topeka for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ber nard B. Smyth, of 106 East 12th street. While in Topeka Mr. Smyth stated that he believed a hard sum mer's crusade would put the alfalfa weevil out of business and save thou sands of dollars to western alfalfa raisers. "The alfalfa weevil has been parti cularly busy in the district surround ing Salt Lake City," said Mr. Smyth, "and its operations are extending rap idly. For this reason it is necessary for us to get on the ground as soon as possible. We have learned that the weevil has destroyed 90 per cent of the alfalfa crop in the district where it is now operating. Very little cs.n be done to benefit conditions in the infested district, but we hope to check the weevil's ravages in other territory and to eventually stamp out its work FRIDAY KRAUT -Long Shred Dry Pack Per Gallon lOc STEAKS Porterhouse or Loin Cuts, from Corrifed Beef Per Pound 15c TOMATOES Fresh, Ripe Fancy Fruit, Per Pound I MORNS MYERS GROCERY CO.

The sulphur butterfly is do ing the most damage in southern Cal ifornia and Arizona at the present time, but we can take care of it with out so much trouble. The butterfly is noticeable on Kansas alfalfa," con tinued the young man, "but the dam age has not been so great as in the far western territory. The weevil does not bother this district." When young Smyth was in Topeka high school, he studied entomology and made several trips to Arizona with Dr. F. H. Snow as early as 1903. He continued these visits each year until 1907. Then he attended Chicago University and later entered the gov ernment agricultural department as ar assistant entomologist. Reformed Fig Business. His first big assignment was th Smyrna trouble. For several year; there had been complaint concerning the import figs. Smyth was sent to New York to look into the case. He found a large per cent of the figs re ceived in this country were wormy and (lacked in a most unprofessional man ner and shipped from the foreign port in an unsanitary condition. Then came the Wilson ruling to the effect that figs received in United States ports which showed more than 34 per cent worm infested, should be rejected. This started trouble. The foreign dealers declared the ruling 'was in favor of the California dealers and was" an effort on the part of the gov ernment- to injure the Smyrna busi ness. For soTne'moirths the exchange of compliments was warm. Then Smyth was sent to Smyrna. For five months" "he investigated con ditions, suggested reforms and educat ed the dealers in modern methods of fig shipments. More than $50,000 worth of the Smyrna figs had been stopped in American porta and for a few weeks the Smyrna dealers did riot invite Smyth to attend their pink tea parties. But Smyth stayed right on the Job. He convinced the dealers that about 80 per cent of the trouble could be eliminated with a little labor and some expense. Still the Smyrna mer chants grumbled. An investigation showed that most of the trouble tsart ed in the fig depots of the interior and on the beds on which figs were dried. After three months Smyth convinc ed the Smyrna merchants of the error of their way. He showed them that the steam and hot air process put their figs in better shape, commanded a higher value and saved no end of trouble. Then the Topeka boy re turned home. His work made a hit with Uncle Sam's agricultural depart ment. Now Smyth lands some of the big jobs at the disposal of the gov ernment. The Arizona investigation is a knotty problem. It requires judg ment and research to get by with the situation, but young Smyth will camp on the Arizona soil until the alfalfa weevil concludes to hunt more prom ising territory. Then Smyth will probably follow him. Items for the Oakland column may telephoned to lnd. pbons 1751. Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Copeland have re turned from Perry, where they visited Mr. and Mrs. M. R.

Right now the live, sane, energetic, business men and citizens are working for suck enterprises If we succeed they will give employment and bring to the city 15,000 .to .20,000 more people. A SAME AS MOSQUITOES. Says Richardson About Capital ist's Favorite Argument. "Bleeds Sleeping Laborer by In direct Taxation" John C. Mahan, aged 64, died sud denly at his home. 830 North Qulncy street, about 6 o'clock last evening. Heart trouble was the cause. The funeral arrangements -will be an nounced later. Mr. Mahan has not been well for lorae time. However, he has been able to help about the house. He had been feeling unusually well the past few days and Wednesday afternoon had assisted the carpenter In building a porch and making other Improve ments to the house. He had helped nail laths; etc. About 8 o'clock he came Into the kitchen where Mrs. Mahan was pre paring supper and sat down. Sudden ly he fell over. A doctor was sent for at once, but before he arrived Mr. Mahan was dead. Mr. Mahan has lived in Topeka twenty years. He was born March 7, 1847, at Greencastle, Ind. He served in the Civil war in an Indiana regi ment. Since coming to Topeka, Mr. and Mrs. Mahan have kept boarders for several years. Besides his wife, -he leaves two sons, Royster Mahan and William Mahan. Their father was well known and well liked. "The capitalist argument, 'live and let live,' is the argument of the mos quito. The mosquito says, 'I must live. Jones, you have gallons of blood. One drop from you and your fellows will be enough for me. Stay asleep and let me tap you.' Likewise, the capitalist or approprlator says to the laborers or producers, 'Eight dollars out of the ten which you earn will be enough for me. Stay asleep and let me tap you.' And the laborer has stayed asleep while the capitalist has been tapping him." These statements were made by F. X. Richardson, a teacher of history and economics for the past- fifteen years and noted Socialist lecturer, in his talk at Lukens" opera house last night. His subject was, "The Basis of Industrial Problems." His speech was the second number on the Socialist lyceum. Only a small number heard him. Mr. Richardson stated that on an average the American wage earner produced each day commodities that sold retail for $10, that of this he re ceived on an average $2. He based these figures upon a government re port of factory statistics. Throughout his remarks he de clared that the bulk of the $8 was in vested by the capitalist in "watered Fellow Countrymen: We are farmer boys and want to meet you at our mar ket.

Lannan stock" and used by the idle rich a branch of the capitalistic class for luxuries and social follies, such as "monkey dinners," "dog suppers" and "horse teas." He declared that for this the labor ing class every day in the year was indirectly taxed, millions per day, but that it was done without giving an itemized statement showing for what the tax money was spent. According to the lecturer, if the laborer would get the full $10 in his pockets and was required to pay out the $8 for taxes, with an itemized statement showing for what he was taxed, the capitalistic system would be over thrown and Socialism would be estab lished. He repeatedly stated that if the plan outlined was practiced for thirty days, the facts in the division of the $8 would be laid bare as a result of the inquiry into the reason for this division, but under the present sys tem the laborer never xeceives the $8 into his pockets and was willing that It should go to the capitalist through indirect taxation because he was asleep to the method of its being taken away from him. Mr. Richardson asserted that capi talism was destroying homes at a rate never dreamed of because it did not guarantee laborers a job. and that every man who did not marry prevent ed one woman from marrying and es tablishing a home. He exclaimed: "In the faoe of these facts, how can any one have the effrontery to proclaim that Socialism destroys the home Why, he advocating a system which is destroying homes at a rate never dreamed of." His address, in part, follows: "The most important of these prob lems may be enumerated as follows: 1. The concentration of the owner ship of wealth. "2. Corruption in all walks of life official and non-official. "3. The unemployed masses of labor. "4. Intermittent periods of business drrpKKinn known as panics. "K. Thd Dractical enslavement of women and children in our industries. "6. Degeneracy among all classes from the palace to the slum. "7. Strikes, lockouts, boycots war between employers and employed. "8. International wars "9. The liquor traffic "Let us assume that the retail price of What is produced by an average day's labor in the industries of the nation is $10. "It is here meant to include among those who labor in the industries only those who do really needful labor. "In the industrial system that now obtains in all civilized countries and that is known as the capitalist system, that $10 worth of produce is divided into two parts. These parts have but one characteristic in common they each originate in productive labor. The $10 worth of goods is solely the result of productive activity; the pro duce is the embodiment of all useful, socially necessary labor. Otherwise these parts have nothing in common. "Again let us assume that the part that goes to the laborer (as his wage) is $2 worth. Then $8 worth goes else wjiere. "Sufficient must go to each, through the labor of the 'bread winner' or 'bread winners'-of his family, to pro vide food, clothing and shelter for a man and a woman and to enable them to rear to manhood and womanhood at least two children; and, of course, more than two, if there is to be an increase in population. A bachelor or a childless home, therefore, repre sents a deficit. Somebody must make up the deficiency, for certain it is this average must be maintained. Rear ing to manhood and womanhood im plies all expenses incident to training for life whether that training be moral, mental or physical; and it must be such training as is, on the average, required to meet the conditions im posed at the time and in the country where the children are reared. These constitute the minimum average re quirements of every man, and the ex pense they impose is the minimum average wage of the worker. "The rest of his day's product, the surplus part that we represent by the $8 worth, has a very different work to perform. "Out of this $8 worth, then, has been builded the railways, business blocks. factories, highways and mansions of the nation. Out of it is paid all divi dends, interest, profit and rent. It supports tens of thousands of whole sale and retail establishment that an economical organization of business and Industry would render useless. It sustains every wealthy idler in luxury and pays the princely salary of many a useless functionary. "Let us return to the consideration of our hypothetical plan of paying the productive laborers the full $10 and then assessing them directly for just what they now pay through Indirect methods. "Not a very exalted flight if imagi nation is required to picture labor's consternation at the first presentation of the itemized levy-lists. There would certainly be a scene that would fill the stage of our nation such as man has never yet witnessed. The capital John F. Stanton John Isaacson R. K. Hinkson Wm. Schick J. Will Kelley T C. A.

And why? Sole ly because the Injustice, the hideous ness of the thing would, at one stroke, be laid bare." Mr. Richardson says that he heard James G. Blaine speak here at the state fair grounds twenty years ago, or rath er he saw him speak, as eighty-five acres were so closely packed with hu manity that he could not get close enough to hear the distinguished man. He also says that he saw the first elec tric light he had ever seen when on a visit here. NOTICE.

Petro, druggist PASS SUFFRAGE BILL With Referendum Amendment Senate Will Act Upon It Today. Springfield, 111., March 23. The woman's suffrage bill with a referen dum amendment has been advanced to third reading and it Is practically certain that the bill in its present form Will pass the senate today. The referendum amendment applies the principle of local option to the suffrage proposition. It provides that each political district shall have local option on woman!s suffrage. If the city of Chicago for instance votes for it at a referendum the women there will have a vote on city officers. If a county Indorses It all women to "that county may vote for county officers. If the entire state approves It by a referendum vote they will have the right to ballot for state officers. The senate voted Tuesday, 21 to 20, to indefinitely postpone the bill. Then Mrs. Katherlne Waugh McCulloch, one of the leaders of the suffragists, agreed to accept the referendum amendment which had been rejected a few hours before. Following this concession, the senate steering committee called the bill up, the amendment was adopted and the measurse was advanced to third reading. The bill has not yet been considered by the house. t M"H-i III1IIIHHII I'M Most Effective Home Treatment of Rheumatism I I I H' III I Mil 1 If you are suffering from chronic rheu matism, or If you are just beginning to feel its dreadful twinges and pains you would do well to stop its ravages at once by having your druggist mix the fol lowing prescription, and persistently use it to rid the body of the poisons and morbid states which excite the dreadful disease.

Lawrence H. B. Howard C. W. Lawrence E. F. Grote F. A. Anton Chas. E. Joslin Frank M. Cope T. A. Borman Frank E. Parr CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE BOWMAN IS SATISFIED. Wanted to Co-Operate With Schools on Appropriations. The University of Kansas, or some of the deans; are doing a lot of .kick ing about the appropriations for the school for the next two fiscal years. The agricultural college and the nor mal school have not offered any ob jections to what the legislature did for them. The state board of control, which has nine charitable institutions under its charge, has not offered a single objection to the appropriations made to the different institutions un der ItB charge, although the appro priations were cut more for the char itable institutions than for the educa tional ones. H. C. Bowman, chairman of the board of control, was asked today if the board felt that it had been treated unfairly when the legislature reduced its appropriations. "No," he said. "We are managing these institutions the best we can with what the legislature gives us. The charitable institutions take care of the unfortunate people of this state. The educational institutions look after the needs of: the more for tunate ones. There ought to be some plan of co-operation -between the edu cational and the charitable Institutions to give, all of .theirUjust what, they need to do the best .work.- "Before the legislature began I of fered to make -the appropriation for the charitable Institutions the same as for 1907, if the educational institutions would do the same. Each class of in stitutions would retain the same basis as determined then. That would give enough money to keep the charitable institutions in first class shape at all times ar.d It was thought that the ap propriations of that year would take care of the needs of all the educa tional institutions also. "This was not done. The charitable institution appropriations were reduced again this year, while all ths educa tional institutions were increased over two years ago and four years ago. Last June I wrote to Chancellor Strong of the university urging co-operation between the different educational and the charitable institutions and explain ing to him why there was not an ab solutely fair diTtision of appropriations between the educational and the char itable institutions." The letter to Chancellor Strong fol lows: "Dear Mr. Strong: I thank you very much for your letter of the 20th instant, and will be glad to show the same to the different members of our board. We will be glad to co-operate with you and to assist you in every way we can in carrying out the object and purpose of the university, but at the same time we want you to "co-operate with the charitable Institutions. In the superintendent's report of the Boys' Industrial school for the biennial period- ending June 30, 1904,. which was: written one year, .before we took charge of the state, institutions,, is the following:. 'We have no fault to find with the generosity which has placed at the disposal of the various, educational in stitutions of the state hundreds of thousands of dollars. These institu tions' are worthy and deserving of every dollar that they have received, but they are for and patronized by the wealthy, the fortunate, and ambitious, for whose patronage scores of rival Institutions are bidding. The Boys' Industrial school is for the poor, the unfortunate, the wayward boys to whom fate, in the form or grinding poverty or unwholesome environment or the bonds of heredity, denies an equal chance with the more favored ones in the race of life. Notwith standing all this-, the- wealth of the state, and its generosity, and the fur ther fact that the school has been beg ging for assistance year by year, not a single square foot of land has been given to it since its foundation, and for twenty years not a cubic inch of floor space to the living apartments. The dormitory in the main building, never intended to be used as such, and repeatedly condemned as being utter lv unsult'ed for the purpose, will be uninhabitable before the expiration of another two years unless immediate steps be taken to make the necessary repairs. The buildings themselves are obsolete as well as out of repair, and additional room is imperative if the institution meets the demands -made upon it.. To give proper accommoda tion, two new cottages should be erect ed, wfth modern improvements, and sufficient money should be appro priated for repairs on the buildings now standing.' "The other institutions, felt the same way. The feeling became more intense 'when the legislature of 1905 failed to be as generous with what are called the state charitable institutions as they were with the state educational insti tutions. Then came along- the legis lature of 1907 which increased the ap propriations for current expenses to the three state educational institutions three times as much as the increase for to Booster T. B. Gatchell E. F. Strain James W. Gibbons E. P. Jordan W. C. Carswell John T. Chaney Sad Hodgins C. F. Riekenbacker W. Myers S. S. Rice current expenses to the nine- state charitable institutions. The legislature of 1907 also appropriated several hun dred thousand dollars more for special improvements and new buildings for the three educational institutions than for our nine institutions. Then to cap the cMmax, the legislature of 1909 re duced the appropriations to our nine state institutions $251,241.60 and in creased the appropriations to the State university $202,425 and to the State Ag ricultural college $127,800.

Our board makes out the bud get and then along comes the heads of the educational Institutions and their graduates and force an increased ap propriation and the blue pencil Is put to the Institutions which educate and treat and take care of the unfortunate, the wayward and the poor. "H. C. BOWMAN, "Chairman Board of Control." DID IT IN TEN DAYS. General Staff of the Army Is Proud of Mobilization Work. Washington, March 23. The general staff is proud of the degree of success attained in the effort to mobilize an army division in Texas and today made public the facts, as gathered by the army inspectors, on which the record was made. Instead of occupying sixty days, as had been predicted in some quarters, the entire movement was completed in ten days. Within eighteen hours after orders were received on March 6, the Tenth infantry was entrained at Fort enjamin Harrison. The Fourth field artillery was tha last to board the cars at Fort D; A. Russell, Wyo., but that was because of the inability of the roads to get the coaches to that point promptly. The Seventeenth infantry, from Fort Mc Pherson, Ga., was the first organiza tion to reach San Antonio, and it was in camp, under canvas, three and a half days after orders. The troops from Fort Myer, Va., had the greatest uistance to travel, 1,715 miles, and they averaged 28 miles an hour on the trip. he Taiw Seven. Twelve Persons Travel Two Miles on n Aeroplane. Douai, France, March 23. Aviator Breguet made a record performance to day when he carried eleven passengers, in his monoplane a distance of two miles. The flight was made at a height varying from 50 to 75 feet. The weight Of the twelve persqns was 1,315 pounds and the combined weight of the ma chine and its occupants was 2,602 pounds. The best previous performance of the kind was made by M. Le Martin, who on February 2 took up seven persons on a five minutes trip. THE NEW SCHOOIi BOARD. Some Facts About' New Plan by One Who Knows. Under the new law voters vote for six persons out of the list of candi dates for the school board. These six may be chosen without reference to wards. There are 16 candidates for places on the school board. No salary is allow ed for services. The office demands a great deal of time if it is properly- filled. Men who are already very busy will not be able to give it due atten tion. Under the new law among other weak points, it may be noted that six persons are- quired to do the work that 12 did formerly. The playground movement was be gun in Topeka by Dr. Eva Harding. She purchased and gave to the city the first children's playground. Then cer tain club women took the matter in hand. It was mainly through these women, with the practical gift of Dr. Harding, that Topeka people were edu cated to the value of the movement. S. A. Swendson has been one of the most efficient members of the school board. Under his direction as presi dent of the board the city schools have been put on a stronger .basis than they have ever been' before. He is shaping the schools for the city the parents. teachers and taxpayers,, to say nothing of the main, interest the children. Such -men are needed in of fice. -Mandy-Lee Incubators register both heat and moisture accurately. See them at Zimmerman' Seed Company, 623-25 Qulncy street. V.

EVENING CHAT BT BOTH CAMERON. The question came up as to whether a certain little mother was doing the right thing to allow her first baby to completely absorb her. to the extent of absolute neglect of and indifference to all other interests. "Margaret used to be so Interesting and progressive and alive, said her crit ic. "She read John's law books and took an interest in all his cases, and she used to read history with h younger sister who's teaching. She al ways read papers and magazines and took such an interest in current affairs that John said she was better to talk to than any man. And she was always ready with bright ideas for the club and church entertainments. And now she's absolutely different. Of cours? she was tied down when the baby was little, but now he is a year old and she has a splendid maid and she might leave him occasionally, but she just won't. Of course, she couldn't do as much a3 she did. but she might do something except hang over that baby. Why she never reads anything and sne goes about the house looking untidy half the time. "She worries over the baby so, that Che is getting to look old and care worn at 28, and she goes out so little that she's pale and listless. John never used to go to the club ar.d now my brother meets him there continually. 1 think she's very foolish." "And I think it's all right," promptlj protested the man-who-thinks. "Per haps it isn't much fun for John or for you girls who want her to be f-ioliag around with you, but it's great for the baby. And that's the way it should be She's devoting herself to bringing tin a -fine health. b ;y and if she does that, she'll be doing more for the world than all mm women who fuss ground with, ciiuioh. entertainments and WAMT 23) IHSCELLAHEQCS ADS REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

Then the lady-who-always-know"".-somehow took the floor. "Isn't there a middle course?" she inquired. "It may be good for the baby for Margaret to half kill herself over him. and lose all interest in any thing else, but how is it going to b. when the baby grows up? Doesn't she owe him something then? You all know little Mrs. Harrison. That's the way she brought up her five children jutt gave herself up to them, dropped all contact with the world and all intel lectual interests, made herself a slave to their clothes and their meals and their whims, and now they are growii up, what kind of a companion is she to them? None at all. "She's buried herself in the home so long that she can't understand the out side world that they are naturally in terested in. And so she's bewailing that her girls don't seem to need her any more and that her son would rath er confide in his aunt than in her. And the girls are saying that they wished their mother was like other girls' moth ers and the boy is saying that his mother somehow can't understand. That's what's going to happen to Mar garet some day, if she keeps on th.5 way she's started." Seems to me that the lady-who-al-ways-knows-somehow just about hit the nail on the head. Surely a mother does owe something to her grown up child as well as to her little baby. Surely there is some sane middle course between insane self extrava gance for the baby's sake and neglect. Someone has said: "The American mother is famous for her care of her baby and neglect of her child." It seems to me that is a well deserv ed criticism and one which the moth er who is inclined to spend herself reck lessly for the baby's sake to the det riment of the child's Interest, might do I well to keep in mind.

Gaynor. has just completed a four years' term In the federal prison here, for com plicity in the Savannah harbor im provement frauds several years ago, walked out of the federal building a free man for the first time in 12 years, bringing to a close so far as he is concerned, a legal battle that has com manded the attention of the public fox the past decade. Greene's application for leave to take the pauper's oath, in order to escape further liabilities, for the $575,000 fine imposed on the two men, when they were convicted, was granted by United States Commissioner Walter Colquitt. Greene will sail for Europe. He said he would Join Mrs. Greene In Paris and they probably would make that city their home. The government resisted the appli cation for the pauper's oath on the ground that Greene had assets con cealed which would enable him to pay off a considerable part of the $575,000 fine. The prisoner admitted having been possessed of property worth $700,000 several years ago. but claim ed he had lost all he had In fighting for his freedom and in speculation and the federal attorneys failed to produce the evidence necessary to overthrow this claim. John P. Gaynor, Jointly convicted with Greene, has completed his sen tence in the federal prison and also has filed application to take the pau per's oath. His application is pending. History of the Case. The case of the government against Benjamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor was one of the most important and unusual in the annals of Ameri can jurisprudence. More than a de cade ago these two were engaged in a contractual million dollar improve ment work in Savannah harbor under the supervision of Captain Oberlin M. Carter. Trouble began when Carter was giv en the highly prized appointment as military attache at the court of St. James. The army officer who succeed ed him, Captain Cassius E. Gillette, found evidences of fraud in the work which resulted in a three months court martial for Carter, a fine, a term in Leavenworth prison and ulti mately in confiscation by the govern ment of money he was alleged to have secured through the harbor frauds. Following Carter's court martial Greene and Gaynor were indicted in December, 1899. The case did not come to trial in Savannah until March 6, 1902. There was an immediate re cess of a few days, in which the de fendants went to New York and thence to Canada. The extradition laws did not apply to their case and for about three years they lived in Quebec until on the grounds of courtesy and friendship, the British government agreed to surrender the fugitives. Trial at Savannah began October 9, 1905. lasting until April 12, 1906, when they were convicted of embez blement and sentenced to four years" imprisonment each and jointly to the payment of the huge fine of $573, 749.90. Greene and Gaynor did not imme diately begin serving their sentences, but fought for more than a year long er, until the tJnited States circuit court of appeals at New Orleans and after that the supreme court, had act ed upon the case.

Roosevelt Endorses Recall of Judges In Golden State. Los Angeles, March 23. Colone Theo dore Roosevelt aroused an audience of 4,000 Californians at Temple auditorium to a high pitch of enthusiasm and call ed from them thunderous rounds of ap plause by his emphatic and unqualified declarations on four propositions. He commended the people of Cali fornia for their progressive govern ment, saying that it approximated his "governmental ideal;" he endorsed the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the recall of the Judiciary of California on the ground that there was no other alternative to assure jus tice and fair dealing for the courts, from the standpoint of the people in view of the conditions existing in the state; he denounced the United State-j senate for its vote in the seating of Senator Lorimer and commended the California state assembly for voting a criticism of the United States senate for its retention of Lorimer, and he strongly indorsed the move for a short er ballot. Colonel Roosevelt left at 6 o'clock Davenport Sues for Divorce. Salem, Ore., March 23. Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, has filed suit for divorce from Mrs. Daisy B. Davenport.

Marshall, Mich. last night for Berkeley and San Fran cisco, traveling in a private car at tached to a regular train over the San Joaquin Valley route. At Berkeley he will deliver the series of Earl lectures which was his original purpose in com ing to California. The colonel reiterated his statement made at Phoenix, in which he said that in his Judgment the recall of judges should not be adopted until by actual experience the people were driven to tt as a necessary but regrettable method of doing away with some even worse evil. "When I uttered those last sentences, I was thinking particularly of your condition here in California," declared the colonel. He said that conditions in California were such as to render it imperative to provid methods for re moving any judge when the people he came convinced that his retention on the bench was no longer in the interest of justice and fair dealing from the standpoint of the people. Colonel Roosevelt addressed the fac ulty and students at Occidental college on the aims and benefits of education. President Baer of Occidental college received the following telegram from President Taft which he read at the meeting: Washington, March 22,. 1911. Dr. John Wills Baer.
