TWO CENTS DIAZ CABINET OUT Mexican Ministers Hand in Resignations in a Body. The President Has Not Yet Decided to Accept Them. THE WAR WILL GO ON. Insurgents Fear the Action Is Only a Ruse. Declare Head of the Republic Himself Must Go. Mexico CHy, March 25. The Diaz rabinet has resigned in a body at a special meeting. The president de ferred action upon the resignations. The reason given for the action in an official announcement is the belief that it will contribute to the re-establishment of peace and facilitate the reforms which are in contemplation. Enrique C. Creel, minister of for eign relations, presented the resigna tions in behalf of all of the ministers. General Diaz thanked the retiring members for their efficient and pa triotic co-operation in the past and announced he would postpone his ac- THE President Diaz and his official family.

The resignations included that of Ramon Corrall. as minister of the de partment of Gobernacion, correspond ing to the department of the interior in the United States, but not as vice president. Not one of the men who formed President Diaz's cabinet is less than 65 years old and several are much older With the exception of Enrique C Creel, minister of foreign affairs, all have been members for many j years, and this alone has been one of the griev-anoes of the revolutionists who have insisted that the chief exe cutive should surround himself with representatives of the younger gener ation, men more closely in touch with the affairs of the people. Following are those who resignation were received: Enrique C. Creel, minister of for eign affairs; Ramon Corral, minister of interior; Jose Yves Limantour, minister of finance: Olegario Molina, minister of fomento; Justo Sierra, minister of education: Manuel Gon zales Cosio, minister of war and ma rine: Leandro Fernandez, minister of public works and communications; Justino Fernandez, minister of justice. Rebels Are Not Satisfied. El Paso, March 25. Confident that the resignation of President Diaz's cab inet means the end of the present po litical regime of Mexico and the in stitution of great reforms, but still un certain as to the immediate results which may follow the selection of a new cabinet members of the insurrecto junta today insisted that the insur rection will proceed. The development at Mexico City are regarded as a direct result of Senor Limantour's conference with Insur recto agents in New York. Francisco I Madero, senior, and Gustavo A. Ma dero father and brother of the so-called provisional president, has been fully acquainted through the junta here of the terms upon which the revolu tionary leader would make peace and laid a plain statement of his demands before Senor Limatour at their con ference. In spite of the resignation of the Mexican cabinet, the junta here de clared to day that there would be no cessation of hostilities in the war zone. It Is declared Madero will continue to prevent railroad and telegraphic com munication throughout northern Mex ico and will endeavor to capture more towns as bases of supplies. The de mand that Diaz declare null his last election and agree to a new election for president will not be relinquished and the popular election of governors of states and jefes politico will be in sisted upon. The junta declares any negotiations must be conducted under an armed truce. Nevertheless the selection made by President Diaz for a new cabinet, it is thought will have an important bear ing on the insurrection. Miguel Ahu mada, now governor of the state of Chihuahua who has been looked upon as a possible minister of the interior is regarded by the insurrectos as a leader of the reform movement. Senor Jose Yves Limantour and Bernardo Reyes, former minister of war. now In Europe on a "military mission," are regarded as men who will figure prom inently in the new cabinet if the wish es of the insurrectos are considered. "It is impossible at present for us to draw definite conclusions from the cabinet resignations," said Senor Gon zales Garza, insurrecto secretary of state. "We are not yet certain that It is not a ruse intended to appease the revolu tionists without granting our demands. We will not lay down our arms until Diaz is out." Official Announcement. Washington, March 25. Official an nouncement of the resignation of the Diaz cabinet in Mexico reached Wash ington today in the form of a-dispatch from Enrique C. Creel, minister of foreign affairs of Mexico, to Senor De- La Barra, Mexican ambassador to the United States. The dispatch announced that yes terday the entire cabinet had present ed their resignations to President Diaz, who had received them with the dec laration that he reserved the right to accept them or refuse them, accord ing to his convenience. Senor Creel added that this action of the cabinet had been well received by the public as contributing to defin ite reforms and a lasting peace. The Maderos Go South. New York. March 25. Francisco Madero, sr.. and Gustavo, his son, left New York today for San Antonio, Tex., where they can be nearer Fran cisco I. Madero, the provisional presi dent of the insurrecto party. Before they left they showed the following tedegram from Alfonso Madero, whom they will join in San Antonio: "Chilapa, in the state of Guerrero, a town of 20,000, is in the hands of the insurrectos. Zahuaripa, in the state of Sonora; Culiacan, the capital of the state of Sinaloa, and Mazallan, the main port on the Pacific of the state of Sinaloa, are menaced by insurgents. Ojinaga, opposite Presidio, is besieged and short of provisions. We expect its MEXICAN CAB1X ET THAT HAS RESIGNED. (2gjf WJt." 11 V 3i surrender very soon. Good news from the rest of the republic." GAYNOR IS RELEASED. Ho Takes Pauper's Oath to Escape Payment of Fine. Atlanta, Ga., March 25, Broken in health, John F. Gaynor, who, with Benjamin D. Greene, was convicted of embezzlement from the government in connection with harbor improve ments at Savannah, took the pauper'3 oath and walked out a free man. The oath released Gaynor, as it did Greene, from any obligations to pay the $575,000 fine imposed on them in connection with their prison sentences. It also marked the end of the Greene Gaynor litigation in the United States courts, which has lasted more than 12 years. As Gaynor turned to leave the stand his attorney, T. B. Felder, asked him where he was going. "To get something to eat," was Gay nor's laconic answer. He spent the night at a hotel and will depart for his home at Syracuse, N. Y., today. HE AGREES WITH JURY. Senator Broderlck Is Acquitted of Bribery Charge. Springfield, 111., March 25. State Senator John J. Broderlck, of Chica go, who has been on trial in the cir cuit court here since last Monday on a charge of having bribed former State Senator D. W. Holstlaw. of Iuka, to vote for United States Sena tor Lorimer, was pronounced "not guilty" bj- the Jury which returned its verdict after having been out only 20 minutes. Within a few minutes after the jury had signified its readiness to announce its verdict, Judge Creighton was on the bench, called the jury and the clerk read the verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant, John J. Broderick, not guilty." When Broderick learned the verdict, he said: "I was not guilty of the crime charged against me."

Nearly three hun dred Kansas teachers are gathering at the university today to attend the annual conference. Every train is bringing more delegations, and Prof. Johnson expects last year's record breaking attendance to be exceeded. It is a state-wide conference, the teach ers coming from every corner of Kansas.

Russia Presents a Note Through Her Minister to China. Calls for a Complete Compliance With Her Demands. SITUATION IS GRAVE. A Refusal Will Be Followed by Forcible Measures. Quibbling Will Not Be Tolerated Any Longer. Peking, March 25. M. Korosto vetz, the Russian minister to China, today presented to the Chinese for eign board a note from his govern ment demanding a full and unequivo cal compliance with the Russian semi- ultimatum of rebruary 16. The situation is very grave. It is believed here unless China accepts the Russian views unconditionally within a Btated period rorcmie measures win follow. The "stated period" is not made known. 111 nil ui Liti 11 mm 11 111 ii.iii i' ii the Russian government reverts to the original demands concerning China's adherence to the terms of thetreaty of 1881. Since the first note was pre sented to the Chinese foreign board there has been a series of exchanges in which China has appeared as yield ing on every disputed point. The ne gotiations, however, have led nowhere owing, according to the St. Petersburg view, to quibbling on the-part of the Chinese. In the last few days there have been persistent rumors in the far east that Russian patience was ex hausted and that a declaration of war against China was imminent. It would appear now that Russia pro poses to enforce her first semi-ultimatum, which carried with It the threat of complete cessation of friendly re lations between the two governments. The note of February 16 contained six points with which Russia demanded compliance. They are as follows: 1. Russia's right to impose' import ana export an ties, unlimited except in the fifty verst zone, which is dutv free. 2. That the extra territorial rights of Russians in China shall not be in fringed; that legal suits involving Russians and Chinese shall be consid ered by a mixed jurisdiction. 3. That Russia shall enjoy special privileges or trade and duty free com merce with Mongolia and the extra wall provinces. 4. That Russian consulates can be immediately opened at Kobdo, Khami and Guchen. 5. Due respect of the local authori ties for Russian consuls. 6. Russians to enjoy the right to ac quire real estate and erect structures in Mongolia and the extra-wall prov inces. BRYAN RECORD USED As Basis for Argument in Harvester Trust Case. Jefferson City, Mo., March 25. In its brief filed in the supreme court to day in the case brought by the gov ernment to oust it from the state of Missouri, the International Harvester company complained that while Spe cial Commissioner Brace's report snowed the company had done no in jurious acts in the state, he neverthe less held it an illegal combination. Theodore Brace is special commission er appointed to investigate the affairs of the company. The brief stated that Brace reported the company had not charged unfair prices, nor restricted dealers, yet he decided the company's torm or organization is illegal. In the brief, the company presented evidence from seventy-three Missouri retailers to prove that competition in its line of business has not been re strained. The company further de manded credit for having invited the fullest investigation. William J. Bryan's trust speech as delivered to a phonograph for use in the presidential campaign of 1908 was made the basis of an argument. "In this speech," the brief said, "Mr. Bryan said the irresistible tendency of trusts is to raise selling prices, lower the prices of raw material, reduce the quality cf manufactured products and lessen wages. None of these results, Mr. Brace finds, followed the organiza tion of the International Harvester company." HELD FOB COUNTERFEITING. Frank Shively and T. B. Martin Ar raigned and Sent to Jail. Kansas City, March 25. -O n a charge of making $5 gold pieces of babbit metal Frank Shively and T. B. Martin were arraigned yesterday "be fore Roy Thompson, United States commissioner. They were unable to give the $2,000 bond reouired and were sent to the county jaiL Thomas Clifford, a horse trader arrested with them, was released on his promise to appear as a witness at the preliminary hearing next Wednesday. J. K. Mor rison, deputy United States marshal, seized a -ladle and some dies and metal at Martin's home, 1106 Kansas avenue, Rosedale. The coins said to have been passed by Martin and Shively in a Missouri avenue saloon Wednesday are of bab- dii ana are glided. They are lighter than the genuine gold piece. The United States secret esrvice officer be lieves there are several of the babbit coins in circulation in Kansas City and is looking for them. NOW SHEJS FREE. Mrs. Inez May Thompson Given a Divorce. Pretty Topeka Bride Afraid of Wild West Husband. Mrs. Inez May Thompson, the re markably beautiful daughter of Peter Heinz, ice cream manufacturer, again is Miss Heinz after an unsuccessful alliance of ten months' duration with Russell W.' Thompson. A decree of di vorce and the return of her maiden name was .granted after a hrief hear ing by. Judge A. W, Dana this morn ing.

A cartridge belt and a holstered gun completed the accoutre- cui. uere possiDie and a bottle on the hip was considered a touch of gen uine "blood." It was this bottle and gun which were complained of today. "He never could drink without be coming intoxicated," explained Mrs. Thompson. That is enough to prove he was no true westerner. "And he got into this condition at least twice a week," continued the hesitant wife. "And he always abused me when he was intoxicated. He would go and get his gun and threaten to kill me. Then he would threaten to kill himself." But while she usually ran to her mother's home on these occasions, she was forced to take the revolver away from him several times. It was under these reverses that he became dis couraged in his attempts to kill her and resolved temoi-afily to kill him self. "He bought me just one dress in all the time I lived with him," replied the witness when pressed for further testimony, -'and he never did support me." SHE TURNSTURTLE Sinks With 35 Passengers and Crew of Four. Ship Caught by Sudden Squall in Strait of Fuca. Victoria, March 25. The little wooden steamer Sechelt turned turtle off Beechey head in the Strait of Fuca, yesterday afternoon, and sank with all on board, 35 passengers and four of the crew Indians at Beechey bay saw the steamer capsize in a sudden squall at 5 o'clock WELCOME TO BALLINGER Former Secretary Receives Hearty Greeting From Seattle Citizens. Seattle. Wash., March 25. Richard A. Ballinger, former secretary of the interior, returned home from Wash ington last night and was given a rousing welcome by his fellow towns men. He was met at the train by a committe of citizens headed by Mayor George W. Dilling and a committee representing all the clubs and commer cial organiaztions of the city. As Judge Ballinger entered the main corridor of the King street sta tion he was confronted by a crowd of business and professional men who filled the hall. The gathering broke into cheers, followed with organized yells and songs. Mr. Ballinger was visibly arrectea Dy tne reception. At the gate he was met by his moth er and his little son. Judge Bal- linger's wife met him at Everett, 35 miles north of Seattle.

Jones S. R. Kutz A. V. Lindell With the time for final missionary work within a few hours of the close, every candidate for city office is at the highest nervous strain, every voter is watching for and making election dope that puts the situation exceedingly in doubt. Every candidate appears hope ful. The final appeal for support will be made this evening and persons in touch with the campaign believe that some telling work will be done before the polls open at 6 o'clock Monday morning. There is every indication that the vote will be large larger in fact than at any previous election held in To peka. It is expected 16,000 votes will be cast. The Women are expected to play a strong part in the result of the primaries. When the final count is made Monday evening, the female vote will be counted first. This plan should give the city a pretty thorough idea as to the result of the primaries at an early hour. Of course, there are al ways chances for flukes in an elec tion and even with the female vote counted say by lOO-there might be a change of heart among the men that would make the final result most doubtful. It is best to wait until all of the votes are counted. Statements this afternoon from can didates and their supporters are full of cheer. Perhaps somewhere there has been a change. Perhaps a candi date has an unknown strength. Per haps a candidate will lose some par ticular faction before the polls close Monday evening. There are eleven candidates for com missioner eight to nominate so three will be eliminated. All of the judges, clerks and super visors of the polls have been chosen and everything is in readiness for the conflict Monday. The election com missioner is wishing for a good day and as a result he expects the largest vote in the history of the city. The candidates for mayor are all positive that they will be nominated. Billard thinks he will be in first place on the ticket. McNeal thinks it will be he and Billard. Lux is figuring on being the next mayor of Topeka ana Hughes is happier than ever before. Mayor -Candidates Confident. Here are their sentiments: Tom McNeal's prognostication: "The situation looks exceedingly good from my standpoint, I believe I will be the leading man at Monday's primary and that Billard will be the next highest candidate. As to Hughes and Lux, I do not wish to express my oninion as to who is the strongest. Ap proximately 16,000 votes with almost the entire woman vote cast, i Deueve the winner will have between 6,500 and 7,000 votes." Here is what Sam Lux has to say: "I will be nominated Monday by the people of the city who believe in a city of the future and who believe that there is a great work here to be done in the upbuilding or Topeka. 1 nave made my canvass and I have tried to be fair to my opponents. I expect to be the next mayor ot M'opeKa." This from J. W. F. Hughes: "I am feeling fine never felt better in my life. I will be nominated at the primaries Monday. I don't know who will get the largest vote and I make Tin nredintions as to who will be the other man nominated. There is no question but what I wtil secure tne nomination and of course I feel that after I do that I win De eieciea. Mavor Billard said: T will know better what to say Mon dayafter the votes are counted. But I feel confident that I will be nomina ed Monday and I don't think that the other candidates will be able to take first place. I will be more than pleas ed if the people want me for mayor again and I will serve them better than beiore dui ij. mry miu. uiutrem ly I will have no disappointment." Ballots Are Small. The ballots are so small this year compared with tne lengtny ticket last year that Election Commissioner Ti tus is expecting to have the entire vntc. annroved ana cleaned up by Tues dav morning. And the State Journal should be able Monday night to give the crowds wno wm watch, tne elec tion returns the official vote and the nomination or -a.il canaiaaies. Kansas avenue will be a lively place tonieht. Both the Lux-lor-mayor com mittees and the McNeal-for-mayor supporters are planning on big street meetmgs. nanus ana motor cars will ho seen and heara on every corner. It is expected that the commissioner enthusiasts will be on the platforms also and the general winaup ot tne city primary campaign will be made. School Board Contest. The school board workers are mak ing the most noise today. They have formed themselves into three tickets (Continued on Page Two.) THE PRIMARY MONDAY. The primary election will be heW Monday. It will be the second non partisan primary held in the city under the commission form of government and the people should exercise care In making up their tickets. Topeka. is a clean city. It is famed far and wide as a place where vice is suppressed and where a majority of the people believe in high moral standards. It follows that it would be unjust to the municipality if the people do not express their true senti ments at the ballot boxes or if a great number do not vote, thereby permit ting a false expression of the will of the people to be recorded. The regis tration is much larger than ever be fore in the history of the city and the vote accordingly should be th largest. Don't stay at home. It will be too late on Tuesday to tell what should be done. There are four leading candidates for mayor all well known citizens of To peka, Their declarations show where they stand on all public questions. Three of them have been tried in pub lic office and the other is a well known business man whose energy in public matters has been of Incalculable value. It Is no more than fair to say that the interests of the city will not suf fer greatly, from a business -stand point, no matter which die is chosen. But there are other questions invoivea and the most important is which of these men most nearly represents the true sentiments of the people of the city on all the questions of public mor als. This is what each voter must decide for himself. The commissioner contest is limited to eleven men including the four men who have served the city in that ca pacity for a year. Eight will be chos en from this list as the candidates at the election a week hence. So far as the candidates themselves are con cerned the ticket is an especially strong one and fairly representative of the city. Still it must be conceded that all other things being equal the men who have served the city during the past year are entitled to an en dorsement by a re-election. The school board offers the greatest variety from which to choose, there being sixteen candidates. This is prob ably due to the fact that a new law has been enacted which makes the six persons chosen this spring the per manent board of education subject of course to regular elections as the size of the board has been reduced to six members. Not enough general Interest has been taken in school mat ters in Topeka in years past, but there has recently been an awakening and the effect will be salutary. The re. forms that have been instituted by the present board are reforms In the right direction.. The service of the mem bers has been of a high order, in which the welfare of the schools of the city only has been considered. The members of the old board who are seeking re-election are: Mrs. C. J. Evans of the Third ward, S. R. Kutz of the First ward, George H. Smith of the Second-ward and S. A. Swendson of the Sixth ward. An anonymous circular has been issued which is aim ed at the present members and the socalled insurgent or progressive movement in school matters. Its authorship is attributed to a man who was defeated a year ago and who con sequently has a personal grievance. DRONKARD KILLS TWO. He Shoots a Deputy Sheriff and a Saloon Keeper. Dcs Moines, March 25. Dr. H. B. Kelly, 30 years old, a physician of Council Bluffs, today shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Clarence Wollman, also of Council Bluffs, and then killed Ed ward Sterzing, a local saloon keeper. The Council Bluffs physician was being taken by the deputy sheriff to the inebriate hospital at K.noxviue The two men occupied the same room at the Kirkwood hotel during the night. Early this morning Kelly awakened, extracted a revolver from the pocket of the deputy sheriff and fired three shots into tne ooay oi tne latter as he lay asleep. Kelly then hastened down the street to a saloon at Third ana court streets. He demanded a drink. Sterzing re fused him. "You saloon keepers have made an inebriate of me and now you refuse me a drink," Kelly said as he shot the saloon man. Kelly was arrested. In his cell in the city jail 4.eny aemanaea wnisny and cigarettes. "I know I'h a drunkard, but that makes no difference to you, he said to a newspaper man. "Can't you give me a cigarette?" Kelly is under the influence of liquor and does not realize what he has done. TOPEKA IN FINISH. Will Decide Basketball Championship With Lawrence Tonight. Iawrence, March 25.

Attorneys for A. A. Truskett, the agedt Caney, Kan., business man on trial for. killing J. D. S. Neeley, a millionaire oil man of Lima, O., said today Truskett would take the stand either late this afternoon or Monday to testify in his own behalf.

The defense then began the in- troductlon of witnesses. His Mind Affected. The testimony of the witnesses in-' troduced by the defense indicated that Truskett's attorneys would attempt te prove their client was not in his right' mind immediately prior to Neeiey's death. James A. Veasey, an attorney of Bartlesvllle, Okla., testified that he knew of a disagreement between Truskett and Neeley over an oil land' lease. He said Truskett, concerning the lease matter, had talked and acted as though his mind were affected. J. D.

Not long ago the State Journal printed rumors referring to the re ported resignation of C. M. Buck, superintendent of motive power of the Santa Fe, and H. M.

Despite the fact that the ru mor has been prevalent ?n railroad cir cles for weeks, as soon as it broke into print a wail went up from all quarters and a series or denials Drone loose from the coast to Chicago. The denials have been so authorita tive that railroad men have given up the idea that Mr. Buck and Mr. Jacobs will leave the Santa Fe. But with the Kendrick rumor, the average official believes right down in his heart that Vice President Storey will remain in his new position and Mr. Kendrick will not come back as neaa or tne operating department.

It is trulv wonderful that a woman can maintain her supremacy as the leading soprano of this great country of nearly 100 millions for more than a quarter of a century. Such seems to be undoubtedly the ca with Mme. Nordica. when the musical critics of the four leading Washington, D. C. newspapers can accord her this post tion. This is what they said about her this season: Washington Herald: "The greatest soprano yet on the American stage is Mme. Nordica. who was heard in con cert at the Columbia theater yesterday afternoon. She was- greeted by an au dience which filled every seat and every inch of standing room, not only on the first floor, but in both galleries. Sev eral rows of chairs had been added where the orchestra belongs, and peo ple were seated above the upper boxes and hung eagerly over to catch every sound and glimpse of the prima donna Mme. Nordica. the great Brunnhilde, was never in better voice throughout her wonderful career than she was yesterday She received an ova tion at the finish, and the audience stood and shouted to her until, with her arms full of flowers she returned after many recalls, and sang the most exquisite number. Titania s Cradle of Liza Lehmann. Her trill and her dainty shading and toying with her voice were a revelation. Washington Star: "Laden with flow ers, her face wreathed in smiles. Mme. Nordica. after an afternoon of gracious response to repeated demands for en cores, was still forced to bow her ac knowledgment of the ovation tendered her at the Columbia theater yesterday afternoon by one of the largest audi ences that was ever crowded within its doors. It was well deserved, for the E-reat sone-stress had eriven her audi tors an afternoon of perfect musical enjoyment. Washington Post: "Mme. Nordica gave play to her fine dramatic powers as well as to her vocal gifts, and the effect was both inspiring and impres sive." Washington Times: "It was a fit ting tribute to this soloist, who finally compelled admiration and respectful consideration from Parisian audiences in the land to which America has so long been compelled to pay operatic tribute, that on her return from foreign shores Washington music lovers should buy all the available standing room to hear her, compelling the turning away of belated comers. The seat sale for the Nordica con cert in the Auditorium next Friday commences at Stansfleld's next- Tues day morning. People from out of town may have seats reserved by sending the price to George Stansfleld. BURT IS FAVORED. His Prison Sentence Will muted. Re Com Late Friday evening, Harry J. Bone, district attorney, received a telegram from George W. Wickersham, United States attorney general in which he stated that the sentence of Frank Burt, former Wichita chief of police had been commuted and that Burt would be required only to pay the Jl.OOO fine. Burt was sentenced to fif teen months in the penitentiary by Judge Pollock, to serve with Nafteger, Callahan and other members impli cated in the Wichita stamp stealing cases. It was Burt who furnished the evi dence that led to the conviction John Callahan, "the chief crook; L. S. Naftzger, the Wichita banker, and two of the real postofnee robbers. Im munity was promised, but Judge Pol lock over-rode the compromise and sentenced the former police head to a term in the federal penitentiary. .Then Harry J. Bone, district attorney, and William Mackey, United States mar shal, interceded with the attorney gen eral. In response to a recent telegram from Bone, Wickersham sent the fol lowing response, which was receive here late yesterday evening: "Bone. U. S. Attorney, Topeka, Kan. "Yours received. President will at once issue commutation of Burt's sen tence so as to relieve him of imprison ment, thus carrying out arrangements you made under my authority. "WICKERSHAM. IN OLSON CLASS. r Fred Moore Makes Hit With the Early Fans. Little Manager Is Fast as Light ning at Second. KAWS AT ST. MARTS. Just Sine Players Taken Up the Line. First Baseman Sabrie Shows Up Weil, Too. i 'He's the first real second baseman we've had slnceOlson was here," remark ed one of a bunch of dyed-in-the-wool fans at the ball park yesterday even ing. They were watching Fred Moore, the new manager, perform and every body concurred. Moore puts on a little more steam every day and is now going in a fair midseason form. He has a mighty pegging arm and a neat line of foot work. He was staging a line of hold-the-runner-on feints last night which were just a little cleverer than any seen around this yard to date. Eddie Sabrie, the Buffalo crack first sacker. was out for practice yesterday and gave the fans some chance to draw a line on him and on Whitney. There is a fine pair of them and either ought to be the best In the league. Larry Quinlan has forwarded his signed contract and notice that he was leaving New York last night for To peka. In the meanwhile Breitenstein is covering the short field and the in ner circle was working pretty enough last night. With Sabrie or Whitney at first, Moore at second, Quinlan at short and Hopke at third, Topeka can hardly see anything better to be asked for. With Thomason, Crompton and Breitenstein in the outfield, the outer circle can hold its own with the in field pace and. there really is nothing to do but feel good over the fielding proposition. Another catcher has been added to the backstopping department in Char lie Smith, who has played in the Amer ican Association and the Three-I League. Moore has practically given up Starnagle. This would leave Kerns, Morns, Harkins and Smith behind the bat. The pitching staff is letting out in the work at the ball park and looks ike a winner. Beecher, Fugate, Leak. Buchanan. Upton and Syfert are all working hard and McGrath is getting n form although he neglects to sign his contract. Alderman, who writes not a word, King, Snyder and Kauf man are yet to report. The first practice game Is being play ed this afternoon with the Irish at St. Marys. The bunch Moore took up includes, Beecher, Leak and Upton, pitchers; Morris, catcher; Whitney, first; Moore, second; Hopke, third; Breitenstein, short; Crompton, center; pitchers not working will fill the out field. Secretary Dossman accompanied the team. The remainder of the squad will work out at the ball park this evening. Ne gotiations for a Sunday game with the Kansas City Blues are under way and it is more than likely the game will be slated. Several loads of lumber were dumped at the ball yard yesterday for the be ginning of repairs on the stands. The management has decided first to construct a row of boxes the whole length of the grandstands. These will seat several hundred spectators. The exact number has not been determined as the management will not crowd the chairs but is rather inclined to spread tnem. giving the greatest comfort pos sible. The full extent of the repair or re construction has not been fully planned put .tne west bleachers will be rebuilt in part and new supports placed un der them. This west end of bleachers seemed, to be getting weak last season and the present company is not anxi ous for any damage suits. THREE I MUST CONTINUE.

Omaha, March 25. Bert Keeley, Blaine Durbin and Roy Fentress have appeared on the scene ready for prac tice, but at the same time comes word that Bert King, the fast little outfield er is a holdout. Think of Pa Rourke having a holdout. Pa and little King have been dick ering some time over the salary ques tion, but King was sent his transpor tation in spite of the fact that his con tract was unsigned. Bert is always a little cautious alout attaching his signature. Now the question has come down to brass tacks. King has got to report soon, whether at the figure Pa has of fered him or some other and the fans are awaiting the result. The arrival of Keeley, Fentress and Durbin leaves only Thompson. Pat ton, Rhodes and King to report and Pa's squad will have its full list of players. Practice at the park goes on steadily, throwing the ball, running, batting and catching, consisting the chief work. BIG POLK AND GERMAN -COMING Zbyszko and Koch to Wrestle In To peka April A.

Manager Crawford, after a long time secured these two celebrated wrestlers by guar anteeing them a good house for the bout. The two men are evenly match ed and have been anxious to get to gether for some time, as there has been an old grudge between the two before they came to this country. Zbyszko is well known. Hacken- schmidt states that if ever Gotch and Zbyszko meet again he is willing to wager that tne Polish champion will gain the decision over the American champion. This will be Zbyszko's first appearance in Kansas and in meeting such a celebrated wrestler as Koch in Topeka is a treat that seldom will be seen here. Both men weigh over 230 pounds and are in the pink of condi tion. JOE M'GINNITY BREAKS AN ARM Not Pitching, but Csanking Up His Automobile, Newark, N. J.. March 25.

That the alumni of tne University of Kansas are not by any means all "for" Gov ernor Stubbs is demonstrated striking ly today by an article in the last num ber of the Graduate Magazine, which apepared this morning. Apparently the alumni have declar ed war on Governor Stubbs as a menacing politician. The tone of the Alumni Magazine's editorial indicates that the state institution and the ad ministration virtually have reached a breaking point. It not only reveais the nnmolainine attitude of the old alumni, but reflects the sentiment of i the present student body. Apropos or the main suDject, tne eai- torial inquires: "Is the university to be lert at the mercy of some climber who knows as much about education as a cowoira knows about raising chickens.' One of the deans of the university applies the same epithet to the gov ernor that Attorney General Dawson recently applied to Congressman-elect Jackson. He did not exactly say that his ears should overton the state house, but it was a much shorter and uglier word of description. 'Are the men in Kansas whose god is expediency to have a free hand in dealing with the university? In these prosperous days the school has been set back $82,000 behind the preceding biennium. The medical school has been ordered to stand still. Student fees have been diverted from their present source and have become a tax levied against boys and girls. Nonrestdence necessarily is the policy of the univer sity, were it not so the state treasury might reasonably be attacked as to its constitutionalitv on the ground that it places a tax on minors something new in the history -or education. Manv other nertinent remarks are included in the article, which has caused considerable stir at the uni i versity. 3 c.

BLAMES THE OIL CO. Had Suffered Wrongs at the Hands of Neeley. Frightened, He Carried a Revol ver as Means of Protection. Independence. Kan.. March 2r Af ter devoting less than a court day to jiicociiuiib us testimony, the prosecu tion in the Truskett murder trial root ed its case last evening. Attorney Liicn uiiiae tne opening state ment for the defense, and the first witness for Truskett was being heard mien court adjourned. Chariton said the defense would prove that Truskett's mind had been affected by wrongs he had suffered at the hands of oil companies of which J. D. S. Neeley. the slain man, was me neau. aiso aid the attorney allege that Truskett's physical Infirmities are due, in the main, to his worrying over ilia oil Dusiness. Charges that Neeley was of a mean disposition were also made by Charl ton. He said that Neeley, when angry, had a habit of placing his right hand to his hip as if about to draw a gun. "Truskett did not meditate on shoot ing Neeley," said the attorney. "He had been frightened until he carried a revolver as a means of self-protection." Charlton then took up the shooting in detail, this marking the first time that Truskett's entire story of what happened in the toilet room, had been Iheard. "Truskett did not know Neeley was in that room when he entered." said Charlton. "When they met, Truskett spoke to him in a friendly manner and asked if they could not settle their troubles amicably. He closed by say ing he would see Neeley later. 'You can see me right now," cried INeeley. starting toward Truskett and moving his right hand to his hip pock et. "Truskett asked him three times to Etop. but when Neeley gave no heed in his warning, he fired. Neeley contin ued to advance, and Truskett fired again." The attorney devoted a considerable (part of his speech to the trouble be tween Neeley and Truskett over some oil land that both were trying to ob tain from Robert Goodman, an In dian boy. According to the attorney, Truskett and his nephew leased some land belonging to Goodman., paying $9,000 for it. Soon thereafter Neeley's companies, said Charlton, spirited Ooodman out of the state and kept Jiim away from Truskett until Goodman was of a legal age. Then they paid him $5,000 for a deed to the land. SIXTKKX LIVING COUSIN'S. Tojicka Woman Included as Heir in Spurgeon EKtate. Fort Scott, March 25.

Many apri cots died over Saline county lost Thursday night. A temperature of 24, eight degrees below the freezing point, accompanied with a heavy frost, was too much for the blossoms. The apricots began to come out ear ly in the week and by Wednesday many apricot trees were covered with blossoms. But it is more than prob able that 75 per cent of these blossoms were killed over night. "A temperature of 2 8 degrees with any kind of a frost with it," said a fruit man, "will cause much damage to blossoms. I do not see how any blossoms can escape a temperature of 24." So far as is known nothing but apri cots were damaged, for none of tho other fruit trees are blossoming. DOPE FIEND BROKE JAIL. He Also Took a $25 Overcoat Along With Him.

It is presumed that one of the policemen left the key in the lock, and if this was the case, it was easy for the man to unlock the door. TRAMPS ENTER CARS.

Llndsborg Doctors Will Not Appear Against John Hanson. Lindsborg. March 25. Lindsborg doc tors denied to John Hanson, arrested in McPherson Tuesday on an insanity charge, that they would appear as wit nesses against him when his case comes on for trial before Probate Judge J.

Smith, of Marquette, also named by my accusers, I do not think knows anything about it either. "The whole prosecution is a result of the enmity' of Axel Wallerstedt, the Lindsborg city marshal.

Increased Activity Reported In Nearly All Branches. PRONOUNCED, PON-YO mm ADE'i MARK -til jm New Tork, March 25. Dun's Re view says: Although reports from the leading trades and different sections vary con siderably, and statistical comparisons do not show uniform gains, conditions on the whole continue to indicate an advance. It is noticeable that retail trade is more satisfactory and many of the important centers make optim istic outlook. Activity in structural lines has be come more pronounced with the open ing of spring and conditions in iron and steel are promising, although there is some abatement in the de mand for pig iron. This is offset by an increase in the output of foundry and steel making grades while reports from leading centers indicate that stocks have been reduced within the current month. Construction work is being pushed with considerable vigor, especially in j the east, and there also is a good i volume of orders for material for the west, although individual contracts j are for a smaller tonnage. Activity in the wire trade continues unabated, the mills having run almost to capacity and manufacturers are expecting heavy consumption. Sharp revisions in the price of cer tain lines of domestic cotton goods led to hesitation in purchases, but re ductions did not follow, the changes being confined to a few standard lines. Renewed export trade with China was reported. In dress goods the men's wear values are favorable to the pur chaser and a fair volume of business is coming forward. Silk manufactur ers are growing more cautious because of the narrow margin of profit. Cur tailment of operations is noted in many textile producing centers where cotton cost is a factor. The footwear market shows no ma terial change. The hide markets are generally inactive. Trade in leather continues quiet and most tanners report business dull. Sales of sole leather are restricted on account of the fact that buyers are mostly stocked up with supplies con tracted for in January and also owing to the question, of discounts." Bank Clearings.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 191L part:ngof ways Breach Hetween Governor and Attorney General Widens. Dawson Offers Stnbbs' Enemy a Place as Assistant. FEELING IS BITTER. Governor Deprives the Attorney General of Yaluable Assistant. Some of Questions That Brought About Bupture. Talk about rubbing the fur the wrong way or putting salt Into an open sore, John S. Dawson, attorney general Is the chap who Is doing this very thing. John has joined the "in bad" club and is now classified with the regulars, reactionaries and ma chine politicians as listed In the ad ministration catalogue. What is more, Dawson does not appear to feel very bad about It and seems to glory In do ing things to rllg the peaceful chief executive of Kansas. The governor and John Dawson have had a row. It is doubtful If they are on good speaking terms. Dawson does not go to the governor's office very often now and the governor does not seek counsel with Dawson either. Friday evening the governor took away from the attorney general one of his most valued assistants, Chas. D. Shukers, and made this assistant a member of the board of control, thereby raising his salary some eight hundred good simoleons a year, be sides making said assistant a real boss instead of a helper. Whether or not that caused Dawson to snort a few loud snorts or just talk some In Gaelic Is not known. But after he had a good dinner last night Dawson came down town and cogitat ed something that is not calculated to please the governor a little bit. He sent a telegram to Senator S. M. Brewster of Doniphan county, offering to give him the place to be vacated by Charles Shukers, special assistant attorney general. Now if there is one single person in the entire state senate that Governor Stubbs would not consider as a pos sible appointee it Is Senator Brewster. Brewster has always been and still is an ardent and cheerful opponent of the governor and the administration and all things connected therewith. If Brewster can make the administration squirm he will go without at least one meal and might go for a whole day without eating. Brewster is persona non grata in the governor's office and the governor is not particularly an xious to have him around the state house too much and here John Daw son has invited the Doniphan senator, who may be a candidate for governor to come down and plant his feet un- IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE A New Gas and Electric Fixture House For Topeka. This new store is the outgrowth of the gas business of the Central Cycle Supply Co. begun ten years ago. The above firm has grown to such pro portions that it has become necessary to separate the gas fixtures and appli ances from the bicycle and motorcycle part of the business, and in order to properly care for the fixture business, the room at 816 Kansas avenue has been divided and a modern fixture dis play room installed. Few people realize the large num ber of bicycles there are ridden In To peka and the Central Cycle Co., has made ample provision for the demand for new wheels, carrying in stock about 100 bicycles of all kinds and de scriptions, being the largest stock ever carried In Topeka. In view of the above change in the business Mr. D. B. Simpson and Mr. F. M. Welton have dissolved partner ship and will conduct the business as two separate firms. Mr. Simpson doing business under the firm name of the Simpson Gas Appliance Co., and Mr. Welton retining the firm name of the Central Cycle Co.

Work called for any where in the city. Both Phones 153 Topeka Laundry Co. Main Office and Works. Up own Office, 2nd and Qulncy Street lia w. B.n st. der a state desk and eat from the state trough. Governor Stubbs Is also a great stickler for the proposition, "A dollar's worth of work for a dollar's worth of pay," and the attorney general forgot all about this. Whether or not the oversight was ltnentional or not re mains to be seen. Just notice what Dawson said In his telegram to Brew ster. Here it is: "Shukers resigns, effective April 15. I offer you the position, and will give you time to attend terms of Doniphan county district court and the more im portant cases of your private practice. Salary small, but will give you fine opportunity to serve the state and identify yourself with its affairs." Now how is Brewster going to give the statehls full time if he is going to gall vant around attending to his private prac tice ana II sixteen nunnred dollars a year does not demand full time a lot of people would like to know It? Charles Shukers put In fourteen hours a day handling that job and If Brewster takes It he will have time to attend to a lot of private practice. too, as the attorney general will give him the time off. And It might be mentioned that Brewster is some lawyer up around Troy and he has considerable business. He was county attorney of Doniphan county for ten years and became famous as a prosecutor. Parting of the Ways. John Dawson was onca the governor's private secretary. Then the governor found a place where John could practice more law than he could as a private sec retary and a p -ce where the salary was larger so the governor moved Dawson up to attorney for the board of railroad com missioners. Dawson was also a candidate for attorney general and during the pri mary campaign he hobnobbed with somo of the regular forces a good deal and took considerable Interest in their affairs and that did not please the governor a little bit, as the governor does not believe In being friendly with the enemy. During the legislature Dawson and Stubbs had a real row about the public utility bill. Stubbs wanted the senate bill, and got it. But Dawson helped to write the house bill and he knew It would hold water and he was not so sure about the senate bill, although good lawyers had told him It was all right. One day DawBon was In the governor's office and they talked about the two utility bills. The governor jumped onto the house bill with both feet and thought it ought to be put into the waste basket without further consideration. Dawson argued that the house bill was a pretty good affair. "John, did you ever read the "senate bill?" asked the governor. John admitted that he had read most of it. "Now, John, did you ever read that make-believe bill that the house judiciary committee introduced?" John admitted that he had read that measure prettv thoroughly and in fact had written a part of It. "Now, governor," said John, "have you ever read that house bill?" The governor admitted that he had not perused it thoroughly but his Information was O. K. on that it was a bum bill. Dawson and Stubbs fussed a good deal right then and the official scorekeeper at the state house reports that Dawson has not visited the governor's office since that day. The Governor's Veto. A few days later the governor vetoed the bill increasing the salary of the at torney general and his assistants on the advice of an attorney who told the chief executive that the bill would repeal the law allowing the appointment as assist ant attorneys general to enforce the pro hibitory law. That lawyer happened to be Fred S. Jackson, former attorney general and now a progressive Republican con gressman. The veto of the bill caused John Dawson to send up a loud wail and he also re-narked, before he knew who it was, that the lawyer who advised the governor to veto the bill was an ass whose ears reached above the state house. The governor then found a few bills checked uo to htm that he did not like so he just didn't sign them or veto them but let them die by constitutional limitation. He vetoed the inheritance tax bill and then Dawson took the salary bill and the mneritance tax mil and all the measures that the go-'ernor had let die into the su-prerr.- court to get them alive again be cause he believed that the governor, not having a good lawyer to advise him had slipped a cog and had not killed the bills within the constitutional limit. AH of these things have joined to cause a mild declaration of war In the south wing of the state house and within a few days, especially if Brewster takes the job and attends to his private practice at the same time, there will be a dead line drawn down the south corridor of the state house and anyone who crosses the line and goes Into the door on the west side will be treated coldly If he enters the portals on the east side of the building and the same to those who enter the eastern gates first. PRISON SENTENCE COMMITTED. Frank S. Burt Will Only Have to Pay a Fine of $1,000. Wichita, Kan., March 25. Frank S. Burt, former chief of police, who pleaded guilty to trafficking In stolen stamps, was informed yesterday by United States Marshal W. H.

SI10TEI1DS HIS LIFE Edward Hummer Commits Sui cide at the Manspeaker. Quarreled With His Fifteen-Tear Old Bride. HE ASKED FOR PRATER Also Asked Bystanders to Keep Wife Away. Told the Physician He Was Tired of Life. Jealous of his 15-year-old bride and despondent because of financial re verses, Edward Hummer committed suicide shortly before 6 o'clock Friday evening at the Manspeaker house. Tenth avenue and Harrison street. The Hummers had quarreled and as the husband left the room in which his wife was sitting, he drew a- revolver from his pocket, pressed it to his left breast and fired. He died three hours later. Less than three months ago Hum mer was married to Lillie Caskey, of 1332 North Jackson street. The girl was but 15 years old. Following the wedding the couple went to Wichita and remained there several weeks. Most of their time was spent at a rooming house and Hummer's bank ac count didn't Increase as it should. Then things went wrong domestically. Hum mer s bride took exception to tnings and Hummer Is said to have been jealous of gentlemen friends of the family. Sometimes these objections caused a family uprising. This week Hummer and his wife de cided to come to Topeka and talk matters over with the elder Caskeys. When they arrived at 1:30 they went to the Manspeaker. Here they engag ed rooms on the third floor. Hummer paid a week's room and board rent for the two. Then the couple left the building and were absent about two hours. When they returned they went immediately to their rooms. The next knowledge Mrs. Anna G. Overholt. proprietor, received of the presence of her new roomers was when she heard a shot followed a few minutes later by screams for help from Mrs. Hummer. The woman's screams attracted the attention of Bliss Hill and Noble Fos ter, who were passing the house. They ran in the house and carried Hummer to his room. Hummer was conscious. He asked Hill to pray for him. But Hill replied, "I don't know how." Mrs. Hummer wanted to talk to her hus band, but he refused to see her. The dying man pleaded for someone to pray for him. Then Mrs. Hummer begged permis sion to stand at her husband's bed side, but the husband forbade the two men to allow her to come near him. Tears flowed down the girl's face and she wrung, her hands and paced the floor in the excitement. "I want to kiss him good-bye," she told the men, "won't you please let me kiss him?" Then Dr. Keith and a nurse arrived. The two men and the girl bride left the room. First Said' It Was Accident. 1 For an hour last nigh'. Mrs. "Hum mer declared that her husband's shooting had been accidental. But be fore he died. Hummer regained con sciousness and stated that he was tired of living and wanted to end it all. "I did it." he told Dr. H. H. Keith, county coroner. "I've had a lot of trouble and I am tired of it all." When confronted with her husband's statements, Mrs. Hummer said her husband had been jealous, that some times they had misunderstandings and to fruther his trouble Hummer had suffered several financial reverses. She would not admit, however, that her husband had intended to kill himself. "Ed must have been out of his head. the 15-year-old bride declared, "and I don't think he really intended to do it. Certainly he didn't know what he was about." The report that there was objections on the part of the Caskeys to the mar riaee of Lillie to Hummer was strong- lv denied. Three months ago when it was agreed that the couple were to marry, the girl's parents went with Hummer to the office of the probate judge and gave their consent to the issuance or a license, x ne coupie was married at the Caskey home. Hummer was a member of the firm of Hummer Brothers, nurserymen, of Grantville. He was also a nephew of L, R. Taylor, who owns extensive nursery Interests in the Grantville dis trict. Somehow Ed Hummer appear ed to be the black sheep of the flock. He paid little attention to the business affairs of the firm and devoted his time largely to hunting the easy side of life. At times he lost control of his temper and it is presumed that it TAXI, All Good Carriages, All Good was while in such a rage that he ended his life. r The body was taken to Shellebar ger's undertaking parlors. Funeral ar rangements had not been announced at noon today. QAMMOSSI? Jl?; i "J TLififml-d, Items for the Oakland column may be telephoned to Ind. phnna 1751.

It is the one machine that restores the original colors to your floor covering by gently raising the nap to its original position. The Ik ectac weeper is the only air-cleaning machine that combines a revolving brush with suction. A rapidly-revolving soft bristle brush loosens the caked-in dirt and stands the nap up and brightens it just as it was when new.

BETTS, Manager. t) ei Everybody reads the State Journal. Unless all signs fail, the production of crude oil in the Kansas oil field this year will be the largest the state has ever known. It is expected to at least equal, if it does not exceed, the production of oil during the boom days of five or six years ago. The oil country in southern Kansas is just re covering from the boom and going ahead with substantia- companies working the fields for all they are worth. "More new wells are going in down in the oil country this year than since the days of the boom," said Joseph Longshore, state oil inspector, today. "New wells are going in everywhere and the well are producing lots of oil and every gallon is being taken. There is a very active demand from the re fineries and from the crude oil deal ers and shippers. No well owner needs to hold any oil at all. It is all being (taken as fast as he can get it to the top of the ground. "There are fourteen new wells either just brought in or being drilled around Chanuie. Other towns in the same section show a large number of new wells being drilled. I think more wells are being drilled this season than in any year except the biggest of the bcom years and I am not sure but that the record of hew wells this year will not exceed the biggest year the field ever had. "It is the fuel oil business that is increasing the oil production in Kan sas. So many of the big industrial plants and hundreds of little plants have adopted the fuel oil that there is a demand for every gallon of on tnat can be produced. The coal strike last summer helped the oil business a great deal. For a long time the managers of the big manufacturing plants were unable to tell how long they could run, as there was no certainty of the fuel suudIv. On account of this and the cheapness and ease of handling hundreds of steam plants, including packers, millers, all kinds of manu facturing plants and many electric light and water companies and numer ous city owned plants changed to fuel oil. The oil is almost as cheap as coal to start with. It is so much easier to handle, It requires fewer men and less space for storage and makes better and more heat and is so much less dirty than coal that it will not be long until the clouds of smoke and soot coming from industrial plants will be changed to just little films of smoke on account of the use of oil instead of coal. The oil is almost entirely con sumed and there is nothing like the waste fuel in it that there is in coal, so there Is not much smoke to go out of the chimneys." Within the last year there have been half a dozen new fuel oil companies organized in Kansas. The demand for the fuel oil, either the crude product as it comes from the wells or the par tially refined product has become so great that the older companies had all the business they could handle and the new companies are growing rapidly. Many of the oil companies organized to operate in the Kansas field are-devoting all their attention to the pro duction of crude oil for fuel pur poses.! Whipping Post In Jail. Dalton. Ga., March 2 5. Following a night of sleeplessness resulting from the hilarious behavior of one of their mates, prisoners confined in the local jail today organized a court. The of fending one was arraigned with all ceremony, then tried and convicted of intoxication and disorderly conduct. He was fined 25 cents and sentenced to the whipping post where he was forced to strip his back to 25 lashes. fireIWept island. Overturned Lamp Caused Quite a Dis aster in Barren Island. New York. March 25. Fire which started from an overturned lamp in a workman's cottage swept across Bar ren Island in Jamaica Bay early to day, and every man, woman and child among the 1.000 population assisted for three hours in fighting the flames with improvised apparatus. A fire boat from New York was sent to help, but on account of the1 shoals could not get within range. Then the aid of a tugboat with shallower draft was enlisted. The tug steamed un close to land and sent a hawser ashore in a rowboat. This was fastened to one building after another in the path of the flames and the tug pulled these structures down, thus finally staying the blaze On Barren island are located the big converting plants where the waste and refuse of New York city are cared for.

Washington, March 25. An addi tion which is regarded by officials of the bureau of ethnology of the Smith sonian institution as "one of their choicest treasures," has been made to their collection in the form of four sacred bundles, or packs, of the Osage Indians. They were secured for the institution by Francis Laflische. an educated Omaha Indian, employed by the bureau of ethnology, from an In dian in Oklahoma to whose care they had been entrusted. The sacred bundles represent the holiest fetish of a tribe and are gen erally guarded by a special priest or medicine man. They are opened at certain times and the contents wor shipped amid most elaborate cere monies. One of the bundles has been opened by Dr. Walter Hough, a curator ol the Smithsonian institution. The out side wrapping or sack, was made of it rare Indian fabric, woven of silky brown hair from the buffalo. It was bound with buckskin, decorated with human scalps and the legs of an eagle. Inside was a buckskin bag which con tained a haversack in which was a pipe decorated with scalps, a tobacco bag, a braided cord made of woolen fabric and a bundle of buffalo blad ders with a thong ornamented with a scalp, and one other bundle which represented the "holy of holies." HEROES OF SAN MARCOS A Cat and a Cock Withstood the Hail of Shots and Shells. Washington. March 25. The heroes of the San Marcos were a cat and a cock. Like those of the Merrimac, those of the old vattleship that now rests upon the bottom of Chesapeake Bay withstood a hail of shot and shell. Their conduct under fire will probably give them chief place among navy mascots so long as they live to tread the deck of a battleship. With others of their kind the cat, yclept Henry V, and the rooster, dub bed Robinson Cruso, were placed upon the San Marcos to demonstrate for the naval experts when the trial was held a few days ago. whether the fire of the battleship New Hampshire would snuff out the Jives: of living .creatures while reducing the old battleship to junk. When the shooting was over, Secretary of the :Navy Meyer went aboard the hulk, t Emerging from a mass of wreckage and an experience that must have made back fence ad ventures of the past, with bootjacks and beer bottles whrezing around him. seem tame indeed, Henry V purred his way along and rubbed against the sec retary s leg. Perched on the upper works was Robinson. He and Henry were the survivors. Discovery was made that t shell had taken off one of Robin son's legs. He was taken to the flag ship stretched out in the cockpit, treated to a proper amputation and fitted out with a wooden leg. At last reports he was in a. fair way toward recovery. Nothing Omlttea.

Cleveland Plain Dealer. Unable to Work for Six Months The man who first said "Time is money" should bavn added that thin applied only to people who were physically able to use this time. Hun dreds of people who are sick see the days passing by, one after another, ana yet tney are unable to employ this time to produce a single dollar's worth of exchangeable commodity. Such a man Is Mr. E. N. Chapin, of To peka, Having been sick so that he was unable to do a day's work for over six months, he found that this time didn't mean money to him, and Instead of earning four dollars a day during this time, lie has had to dig Into the surplus fund for his actual living expenses. At four dollars a day, this has been a salary loss of $642; to say nothing of the pain and suffering he has been compelled to endure. He has been under the United Doctors' treatment just two weeks, and has been able to put In a full day's work for the last four days, and onco again finds that time Is money. His statement Is as follows: "I had been a sufferer for several years from stomach trou ble; finally got so bad that I had to give up my work as a carpenter, and the pain was In my stom ach almost all the time. Nothing I could get to eat seemed to agree with me. The surgeons said I had a tumor in the stomach, and wanted me to go to the hospital and have it cut out, but I didn't relish the prospects of being operated on and de cided to go and see the United Doctors. At this time I had not been able to do a day's work In over six months. I have been under the United Doc tors treatment just two weeks today, and I am getting along remarkably well. The pain in my stomach Is gone, digestion greatly Improved, and I have done a full day's work every day for the last four days, and I am standing the work very well, and at night, instead of having to sleep on my back all the time as I did before starting the United Doctors' treat ment, I can sleep with perfect comfort on either side; bowels acting per fectly, and altogetlter I am wonderfully pleased with the treatment I have received. "E. N. Cliapin, 475 Sumner St." If you are sick and would like to be able to say once again that "time is money" to yon, It will pay you to do as Mr. Chapin did, go to those, mas ter medical specialists known as tlie United Doctors and see what they have to say about your case. They make no charge for examination, and they will tell you frankly just what you may expect from their treatment. They occupy the entire 2nd and 3rd floors at 610 Kansas Ave., and you are always welcome there If you are sick.

Yours for law and order GEORGE HANLEY. WILL GO TO "WAR." Three Officers of K. N". G. Assigned to I'roiitier. C. I. Martin, adjutant general, has an nounced the appointments of the national guard officers who will go to San Antonio, Tex., to take part in the regular army maneuvers there. They are: Captain Dennis J. Sheedy, company E. First in fantry, Fredonla; Captain Fred L. Lcm mon, company E, Second infantry, Hutch inson; Captain Harry G. Menkemeyer, company I, Second infantry, Wichita. The orders of the war department in viting the state to send three officers of the guard to San Antonio to take part and watch the maneuvers were received this morning. The orders specified that only company commanders of infantry should be designated. The government will pay the traveling, expenses and give the of ficers regular army pay for the time they are out. The officers are to remain four teen days at the camp. Then they return and the government has announced that three others will be sent until the funds for this purpose are exhausted nr until the maneuver camp Is abandoned. The of ficers are to go fully equipped for active service, taking their own bedding and mess kit. The officers will be given quar ters, tentR and sustenance by the com mander of the camp. The officers are' re quired to report at San Antonio before April 5. The officers selected by the adjutant general are those who are up In all the work required by the department, and whose companies have been inspected this year. The fourteen days are to be spent entirely at the camp and the time con sumed in travel to and from the camp, while paid for by the government, will not be counted as a part of the participa tion in the maneuvers. DECEPTION CHARGED. Another Bill In Equity Filed" Against the fkldy Trustees. Concord. March 25. An additional bill in equity filed today in the superior court in behalf of George W. Glover of Lead, S. D., against the trustees of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, makes the direct allegation that Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Chris tian Scientist church, was "sytematical ly deceived and led to bequeath nearly the whole of her property to said church in ignorance of the fact that so great a bequest was forbidden by the laws of New Hampshire and Massachusetts." It is further alleged that the plaintiff in the case now before the courts, George W. Glover, was also deceived and entered into an agreement not to contest the will of his mother, Mary Baker G. Eddy, with out suspecting that an illegal disposition of the property was in contemplation. It is stated that Glover agreed not to ques tion any lawful bequests that his mother might make but it is further declared that he would never have agreed to an illegal distribution of the property and did not so agree. Further the bill declares that the de fendants well knew that Mr. Glover would not have entered into an agreement which would bind him to acquiesce in an evasion of the law and he was therefore carefully kept from any knowledge of the purpose of the defendants. Another allegation is that the plaintiff was estranged from his mother through the "machinations of the directors of the First Church, her mind having been poisoned by false statements." It is also charged that she was under the influence of "malicious animal magnetism," which has so many times been mentioned in the Eddy suits. OUTWIT THE CONVICT. Two Farmer Boys Capture Jail Break er After Hounds Lose, Trail. Belleville, Kan., March 23. Arthur J. Hansen, who made a sensational escape Monday night from the county jail by locking Under Sheriff Armstrong in the cell room as the officer was serving sup per to the prisoners, was outwitted by a couple of farmer boys after bloodhounds and a posse had lost the scent. The boys, determined to win the $25 re ward offered, fell in with Hansen as fel low tramps and continued in his company night and day until they got an opportun ity to cover him with -revolvers. The trail led from Belleville through Republic coun ty to Scandia, to Superior, Neb., and to Bostwick, a little town near there. Then for a moment Hansen relaxed his vigil ance, having by that time perfect confi dence in his companions. "You are our prisoner." said the oldest of the two boys, presenting his revolver. The other reached into his pocket and produced a pair of handcuffs. The pris oner was taken to Bostwick. where Sheriff Huntington of Belleville, who had dropped out of the chase, bloodhounds and all, was notified of the capture. Hansen was wanted here on a charge of burglary and army desertion, and now for jail break ing. The boys will receive the reward. HIS PROCLAMATION DIDN'T SUIT Dave Leahy's Arbor Day Pliillipic Failed to Satisfy Governor. Dave Leahy, private secretary to Gov ernor Stubbs, wrote an Arbor day procla mation today and submitted it to the governor. The governor apparently was feeling rather facetious when he read the proclamation. He discovered that Dave had remarked that when the pioneers oi Kansas came thev found a treeless waste and now more than a billion trees were growing in the state. When did you count tnose trees, uave asked the governor. "Oh, the assessors mount them every year. There are heaps more than a bil lion trees in Kansas now but a billion is about enough for human comprehension. so I set it at that figure, repnen uave. "You don't say anything about the beau ty of the noble trees," said the governor. "No." replied Dave. "Last year I wrote a fine flowerv proclamation and the peo ple kept writing in here for copies of it until it cost the state ten dollars and thirty-eight cents for postage besides a lot of trouble, so this year I thought I would make just a plain simple statement of facts." "Well. Dave, you don't say anything about the birds having a place to make their nests. Hadn't you better say some thing about the birds and the nests for their little ones?" "No. There isn't anything new to write about Arbor day proclamations so the simplest one I could get out I thought wa the best." "Mavbe we better put something about the birds and the noble trees of the forest in this. Dave," said the governor. The governor then laid the proclamation aside. "I guess." he said, "we will wait until this afternoon and add a little to this before it goes out." Neuralgia pains stop when you use LIMIME1T Prices, as.. SOc, antt St.OO. SLOAM'S "-Si I- f T 3 BELL BACK IN JAIL Latest Offense Is stealing Clothes From Fellow Prisoner. James F. Bell, the notorious forger who was out on bond, was arrested again last evening for a fresh offense or two or more and turned into the county jail. His re-arrest caused a discovery of theft as unusual as it was despicable. Bell, before being released on his bond, heard a fellow prisoner, J. W. Lynch, a federal suspect, arrange to have a fine suit of clothes sent to the cleaners to be cleaned and pressed. Lynch is supposed to be a postoffice robber and has money and good clothes. He tied the suit in a bundle and laid them outside the door. Bell, taken out of the cell room and into the office to be released, told Bayliss how beautiful and upright a life he was going to lead. Bayliss says he almost cried as Bell recited his resolution to him. Once outside however Bell rounded up a pair or urchins, instructed them how to go and ask for the suit of clothes for the cleaners, and waited their return.

One year, just closing, as commissioner cf streets and public improvements with full control of every piece of new work or repair work done on Topeka streets and walks.

The city engineer and his force are familiar with every detail of the work to be done. Why make changes now? Is it business-like to do so? If Tandy is re-elected street commisisoner, he states tha Mr". Young; the present city en gineer will be retained. This statement is made to definitely settle this question. Will You Compare Conditions of Streets Now and Year Ago? Every fairminded person who drives over Topeka's streets knows that improvements and repairs have been made promptly and as much new work has been done as was possible with the funds available. Two Thousand Loyal Friends and Supporters Voice Their Approval By signing Tandy's nomination petitions two thousand friends recommend Tandy for the position which he has filled during the past year. By their actions they respectfully submit his candidacy to their friends for favorable consideration. W. G.

Harris I Paper Hanging and Painting 213 AV. 4th St. Ind. Phone 284 See Hoover Ad. On Page 5 FOSTER ON THE CAMPAIGN Discusses Mayor Situation and Tells Why He Is for Hughes. It will be readily understood by most people who have lived in Topeka for the last five years or more that I would be supporting cither Colonel Hughes or Tom McNeal in this cam paign. I could support either one with enthusiasm on personal grounds. The fact that Mayor Billard has al lowed misleading and absolutely false statements of his to be used broadcast in other states concerning the success in Kansas of the prohibitory law, which statements were undoubtedly made at the solicitation of the brew ers and liquor dealers with his knowl edge, the office Billard h'-lds makes it incumbent, it seems to me, upon every person who has any interest or pride in the great victory we have won in Kansas for sobriety and decency, to see to it that the office of mayor is not again used to malign the fair name of Kansas'. These statements would be of no value to the enemies of prohibi tion were it not for the exalted office we permit Mr. Billard to hold. To me, and I think to all who have worked with me, the battle we have fought and so completely won, makes the para mount issue. "Who is the most avail able man to make a successful fight against Mr. Billard?" I think that man Is Hughes, because there is not a single reason why every McNeal sup porter can not vote for Hughes if he Is nominated and there are political or other reasons why hundreds who are supporting Hughes will not vote for McNeal. I have no sympathy witn these reasons, but they are sufficient to influence hundreds of votes and this is a condition that must be met with wisdom and not sentiment. Further, I think Hughes Is the most available man because of his record for law enforcement. He was com pletely satisfactory on this question to all who supported him on this plat form. He has had more than ten years of actual experience in the ad ministration of municipal affairs and his work has been above any just criti cism. While he was mayor of our city for about a year, we found that he has never had an equal in the fidelity with which he devotes himself to the interest of all the people. In present ing him we are indulging in no ex periment. I think that the law and order people are under the strongest kind of obligation to support Colonel Hughes for the splendid fight he made for us in the hour of our extremity at the time of the Parker campaign. Hughes sacrificed many hundreds of dollars more than his salary to uphold that fight in court costs and attorney fees to keep the administration of the city out of the control of the wets. I think it Is base ingratitude for the good government people to bring out a candidate against him after his hav ing made this fight for us when we were so anxious to have hfm do so. One of the most retarding influences against the progress of moral reforms is the seeming ingratitude of those identified with a good cause toward those individuals who sacrifice most for the ends striven for. FRANK H. FOSTER. ;v v i'tf i. I i I I i jf.. -i. .v;vy v;I s R.oy L. Bone V Present Commissioner of Finance and Revenue Is a Candidate for Re-election He has successfully handled the city's finances during the first year under the new form of government, made up the budget covering the ex penditures of each department for 1911, and knows exactly how every dol lar must be used in order to keep within the levy. The past year's exper ience, together with his knowledge of the city's various funds, is at this particular time of special value to every voter. He has made no promises or declarations whatever relative to ap pointments, and all reports to the contrary are without foundation. He is a conservative man, and has carefully guarded the interests of every taxpayer, and will continue along the same lines If re-elected. He is deserving of and will appreciate your support and the support of your friends.

Madam, let me Inform you that the Bowser club is to be organized tonight, and of course I shall be elected president." "And what is the object of the club?" "Reform, madam reform." "Reform among yourselves, of course? It ia a good idea.. I suppose you will all quit smoking, swearing, drinking, playing poker?" "Mrs. Bowser, you are talking to your husband!" "Oh, but you don't need to be re formed. You, as president of the club will reform the rest. You are always seeking to do good, Mr. Bowser." "Just another word in thai strain and you hear nothing further about it! It has got so that you can't even speak of heaven without sarcasm." "But isn't a reform club organized to reform?" she protested. "Certainly, but any woman with brains would understand where the reform comes in. You have read that there is graft everywhere. We propose to reform that." "Yea, I see." "Our taxes are too high. We pro7 pose to work a reform there." "Yes." "We propose to see the Panama ca nal finished In an honest manner." "But won't the government eee to that?" "We feel that we can't trust the government. We are going to demand that certain United States senators resign." "And they -will do so at once, of course!" "They'll do it, or the Bowser club will know the reason why, and don't you forget it, madam!" shouted the reformer. "How about the railroads?" that Mr. Rockefeller gives half a mil lion dollars at once." "But he is at the head of the big gest trust In the world! Is he going to pay you to fight -him?" 4. "Perhaps my informant meant Car negie!" "And he's in the steel trust!" "Woman, you don't understand! No woman can understand. It's all use less to make explanations to you. We are down on the trusts and going to down them, and that's enough." "That's good news. Shall you go for the cold storage houses as well?" "We shall wipe them right off the face of the earth. Mrs. Bowser, and the owners will be lucky to escape state prison sentences. The Bowser club will show no mercy. I shall have to be going along now. I expect the hall will be crowded to the doors, and that I shall be kept there until midnight. The ball of reform that is to roll around the earth will be set going tonight." "Well, I'll go to bed when I get ready, and I hope things will go right with you." Mr. Bowser did not find the hall crowded to the doors. It wasn't crowd ed at all with the four men awaiting hir" Three of them irose and shook hands with him and said that the other 2,000 reformers would be present ly. The fourth man did not know him, and presently inquired in a general way: "Who is to be president of this club?" "Mr. Bowser is." was whispered in his ear. "Then why isn't the old shell-back hero to buy five drinks of beer and start us out right?" No one answered. "We want reform, but we want beer," continued the man. "In fact, as any fool knows, reform is based on beer all the beer you can drink." No one denied it, but Bowser's face went red. "We are going to reform the drink ers. How? Why. by drinking up all the beer, so's nobody can buy any. Old Bowser understands that, and yet he ain't here to begin the good work. He's a nice old specimen of a reform er!" "I am the man you are talking of!" said Mr. Bowser. "Oh, you are. Have you asked us yet what we would take?" x 1--CVRS& ANO ENTHUSIASTIC AOOlEhKTE "They shall be reformed.", "And the coal barons?" "Reform. Reform." v "And politics?" "Reform, again. M tell you', Mrs. Bowser, we'll have reform if we have to bust up the present form of gov ernment! We have stood it and stood it until we can stand it no longer. The country must have reform or there'll be a revolution which will fill the gut ters with blood!" "You speak feelingly, Mr. Bowser. How long have you had this reform business on your mind?" "From the day I was born!" he hot ly exclaimed. "No wonder, then, you want a change. Will your Bowser club do anything to the trusts?" "Will it! Will it! You wait and see! We will crush them as you crush a worm beneath your heel! Not one will be left in the country in a year from this date!" "Is your club, then, to be so trem endously powerful?" "The people are the people, Mrs. Bowser, and with the Bowser .club to lead them they can accomplish any thing and everything. I tell you that a mighty change is at hand. There has been a demand for reform these 20 years, and it has grown so loud that all America must hear. You watch things from thia time on." "But how did you come to go into this thing just now?" asked Mrs. Bow ser. "The downtrodden public appealed to me in a way I could not withstand. They declared I was the only Moses that could lead them out of the wild erness." "How much is it going to cost you to play the role of Moses?" "Not a blamed cent.

"Then reform be hanged! I won't go into it! I won't have anything to do with it! I'll join the beer trust and make you fellers look sick! Bowser? Who is old Bowser?" The man withdrew and left the three reformers. Half an hour later a fourth man entered the hall, but said he was looking for his dog instead of reform. A quarter of an hour later another man entered. He sat down and asked whose funeral it was. and when set right he rose u,p and left. He said he preferred funerals to reform meetings. At 9 o'clock the three men still com prised the large and enthusiastic audience. WOMAN VOW DON T At half-past 9 one reformer said he had got to go home, as he left a sick child. He went downstairs into the saloon and called for whisky and pro nounced Mr. Bowser an old dub. He said that a man who'd sit around for two hours and not ask another man if he had a sore throat was meaner than any trust in the country. Soon after he left the hall Mr. Bowser asked of the one who remained: "Could the down-trodden people have made a mistake as to where this meet ing was to be held?" "Dunno," was the weary reply. "To what do you attribute their ab sence?" "Nothing." "But you and I can't organize a Club?" r "No." "Then then "Then we'd better go home," finish ed the other as he rose up. "Why, you got back early," said Mrs. Bowser as the reformer entered the house. "Not a word, Mrs. Bowser not a word," he replied. "I see your hand in this, and early tomorrow morning we'll see our respective lawyers! You have driven me to the wall at last!" (Copyrighted, 1911, by Associated Liter ary Press).

His personal habits are consistent with his public de clarations. It has not always been popular to stand against law breakers and To peka should have a mayor who will obey his official oath regardless of the ebb and flow of public opinion. Mc. McNeal will keep the City clean because his heart will be in the work. 2. He has had extensive and varied experience in business. The public recT ords demonstrate his capacity and efficiency as a business man. In six years, as state printer, he has done business aggregating $554,000 or $92,000 a year. The State Printing Plant under his management has saved the state $300,000 over pre vious administrations, for the same work a saving to the tax payers of Kansas of $135.00 every day, for six years. An officer who has done that for the state, can be trusted to spend the City's money 3. "With pen and tongue he has been a safe and sane booster for Topeka for 17 years. He will not indulge in bluster, or bravado, but will foster and encourage every legitimate enterprise that will contribute to our industrial development. He does not believe that a mayor can, by virtue of his office, compel new industries to come here. Every concern that located in Topeka, with a brass band and a bonus, has gone to the scrap pile, while those that started on their own merits, are still here; our mills and elevators, Thompson, Wolff, Davis, Pugh, McCord-Kistler, Schick, Mclntyre, Crane, Hall, "Adams, MacLennan, Capper, T:The Continental Creamery and others none of these started in response to a mayor's proclamation, and they are all prosperous.; 5 j J V Mr. McNeal, within the limits of a mayor's powers, will go after meritorious new things, but will especially encourage those that have already given us our commercial prestige. V ,V1:J 1. 4. Mr. McNeal 's profession (that of an editor) will enable him to devote prac tically all of his time to the City's business. By giving time. to his administrative duties, and to boosting Topeka, he can do more for the City, than a mayor whose time and energy are required to run his private affairs. 5. He will be an honor and credit to the City upon the numerous public occa sions, where the mayor is expected" to appear. Strangers measure a City, in some' degree, by its mayor. .As a public speaker, Mr. McNeal is incomparable, and thou-' sands of visitors wil go from Topeka, singing its praises, because of the cordial and appropriate greetings extended by Mayor McNeal. 6.-7r-We; solicit your votes for Mr. McNeal because he Advocates and practices temperance. Stands for the rigid and impartial enforcement of all laws. Is a rational booster for the City. Will give his whole time to the duties of the office. Is an accomplished orator. Has made good as a public servant and saved the tax payers of the state $135.00 every day for six years, and Combines, in a rare degree, all of the requisites of a mayor of a clean, cultured and prosperous City.

Isiif IP lit K1I1 The manufacturers of Royal Bak ing Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality. Royal Baking Powder is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the high est class baking powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is more economical at its price than any other leavening agent, because of the superlative quality and absolute wholesomeness of the food it makes. Mixtures made in imitation of baking powders, but containing alum, are frequently distributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food. In England, France, Germany and some sections of the United States their sale is prohibited by Izw. Alum is a dangerous mineral acid, and all physicians condemn baking powders containing it. The label of alum baking powders must show the Ingredients READTHE LABEL MM;afEj San Francisco, March 25. Following upon an announcement made a few days ago that the Southern Pacific company had named a price for the sale of its controlling interest in the Asso ciated Oil company to an eastern syn dicate, a report appears in tne cnroni cle today that it is the Standard Oil company that has secured the option of purchase. The Chronicle says that Standard Oil "is in a position through this con tract to assume practical control of the entire oil output of the California- fields. "Only yesterday," the report adds "it was learned from an authoritative j source that the Standard was the prospective purchaser and that the deal involved the practical combina tion in control of -all the pipe lines of the coast. "The Associated Oil company is re ported to be handling 80 per cent of the oil marketed from California fields at the present time." FILLED WITHRAGE. Camorrists Are Wrought XTp Over Testimony of Informer.- 1 Viterbo, March 25. The attorneys for the defense flocked to the Santa Maria today to consult with their clients on the counter attack to be made on the informer Gennaro Abbatemaggio when the trial of the 36 Camorrists is re sumed next Tuesday. With a fine show of indignation the accused declared that when permitted to speak they would refute their for mer associates' "inventions." During the recital, they said they had composed themselves with great discretion in order not to disturb the serenity of the court which certainly must eventually acknowledge their in nocence. Abbatemaggio's cleverness in telling his story yesterday filled the Camorrists with rage. Posing as a penitent, prepared if need be to give his life in expiation of his crimes, the informer made a deep im-pression and the lawyers for the defense today de cided on a long list of questions to be put to him on cross-examination in the hope of discrediting his tsetimony. The priest Ciro Vitozzi. during the conference with his lawyers, delivered I to the latter, the memoirs, which he i has been occupied in preparing during his confinement. The memoirs contain a repetition of matters already known an attack on the jaillers at Naples who are described as "worse than those of the inquisition," and wind up with an eulogy of the author. His whole life he says has been dovoted to "re claiming lost lambs to the fold." HEARD FDR 4,900 MILES. DAWSON BOWS TO WILL Not Resist Governor's Veto of Attor. ney General BilL John S. Dawson, attorney general, has announced that there would be no fight in the supreme court on the veto of the bill to increase the salaries of the attorney general and his assistants. This was one of the bills vetoed by the governor, which the -attorney general has taken into the supreme court on the ground that the veto power was not exercised in the time required by law. The atorney general has brought mandamus proceedings to compel the, secretary of state to publish in the statute book the inheritance tax bill and the salary bill. No effort will be made to force the salary bill and the attorney general will make his fiKht entirely on the inheritance tax bill. The legal question on this bill depends on the interpretation put by the su preme court as to how to count days. The governor received the bill on March 10 and vetoed it March 14. If the day on which he received the bill Is counted as one day the veto was not exercised in time and the bill becomes a law. If this day is not counted then the governor exercised his veto power In time. F. H. Cron, Democratic representa tive from Butler county, is very much wrought up over the veto of the in heritance tax bill by the governor. The governor has said that he thought th eld Inheritance tax law vicious and the new one worthless, and Mr. Cron can not understand why the governor should prefer the vicious to the worth less bill. In his message to the leg islature the governor urged that the law be amended to exempt direct heirs up to $25,000 inheritances. The law at present makes the exemption $5,000 and the bill which the governor vetoed exempts direct heirs entirely. In an interview at ElDorado yester day Mr. Cron said: "In his messages Stubbs says: 'I am earnestly in favor of exempting from the provisions of this bill, direct heirs of all persons of small estates. up to $25,000. I am also in favor of the state refunding to the small es tates the inheritance tax money that has already been collected on accounts below that exemption.' "And yet he leaves this law on the statute books which puts the exemp tion at only $5,000, and which will make the state continue to collect what he says should not be collected. He also would collect amounts which he says should be refunded. "If, as he says, the new law would work an injustice to the small estates which have paid, when some of the large estates have not paid and would not have to pay under the new law, then why not cease collecting from these small estates and when the leg islature meets again, pass a bill re funding the moneyunjustly collected? "Because a wrong has been com mitted is no excuse for the continu ance of that wrong. I firmly beileve that if Governor Stubbs had vetoed the bill while the legislature was in session and all members present, it would have been carried over his veto."

Chicago, March 25. A letter from a mother to her son caused Judge K. M. Landis in tha United States district court to extend unusual clemency to the young man yesterday. The case was that of Glenn Koss, 2 2 years old, who was charged with having enlisted in the United States army in Chicago and embezzled the passage money fur nished him by the army officers to take him to Jefferson barracks. He admitted he drank on the train and went through to Memphis where he gave himself up to the recruiting offi cers in charge of that district and was sent back to Chicago. The mother's letter read: "The trouble that you are in Is al most more than I can bear. Tour trouble is serious, and I know it was drink. But you must be honest with the court that tries you and must take your punishment like a man. You must be true to your country even though you have to go to prison. I would rather have you in jail than in a saloon. If you will only brace up and be a man and stop drinking we shall be glad to have you come home when you have served your punish ment, whatever it may be. Tour father will give you work if you do not dTink. I will pray for you every night as I always have done, and that you will come home to us and be true to yourself and your country." After reading the letter, which was dated Memphis,. Judge Landis turned to the young man before him. "Glenn, a boy who has a mother like that can't be totally bad," he said. "If you'll promise me that you'll stop drinking and try to be a credit to your people, I'll try to help you. Your mother says you can get a good job at home. Go home and take it. Tou are here on a serious charge. As a sentence I will fine you $50 and will hold the prison penalty in abeyance. Go home and get that job and you may send my clerk $8 a week until your fine is paid. Will you do it and stop drinking?" "I will try to do it, judge and I'll go home," said Koss. "I guess I didn't realize what I was doing. I'll try to be a man." "And, mind you, I have means of learning about you," warned Judge Landis. "But I don't want to use them. I want you to write me every once in a while as to how you are get ting on. And I want to hear that you aren't getting Jrunk. Remember that." blovTto auto races. President Briscoe Declares Against Racing in General. New York, March 25.

"I wish to let you know of a couple of recent cures which I have made by tha usa of the Cuticura Remedies. Last August, Mr. of this city came to my office, troubled with a sever skin eruption. At first I could not understand the nature of the case until I had made a careful examination. I finally traced it to his occupation as he was a painter and decorator. It was dermatitis in Its worst form. It started with a slight erup tion and would affect most parts of his body thighs, elbows, chest, back and abdomen and would terminate In little pustules. The itching and burning was dreadful and he would almost tear his skin apart, trying to get relief. I recommended all the various treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollars on prescriptions but nothing seemed to help him. "In the meantime my wife who was con tinually suffering- with a -slight skin trouble and who had been trying different prescrip tions and methods with my assistance, told me she was groiner to eet some of the Cuticura Remedies and give them a fair trial. But as I did not know much about Cuticura at that time I was doubtful whether it would help her. Her skin would thicken, break and bleed, especially on the fingers, wrists and arms. I could do nothing to relieve her permanently. When she first applied the warm baths of Cuticura Soap and applications of Cuticura Ointment she saw a decided im provement and in a few days he was com pletely cured. "I lost no time In recommending tne Cuti cura Remedies to Mr. and this was two months age. I told him to wash with warm baths of the Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuticura Ointment generously. Believe me, from the very first day's use of the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly relieved and to-day he is completely cured through their use. I have great faith In the Cuticur Remedies and shall always have a good word for them now that I am convinced of their wonderful merits." (Signed) B. L.

Presi dent Benjamin Briscoe declares against racing in general and an nounces that the decision applies not only to his company, but to all of the eleven affiliated companies. The ocmpany's action is unqualified and unalterable. In withdrawing its support the officers of the company gave due consideration to every ad vantage and disadvantage accruing from participation in the big national and local race meets. Even the or ganization of a grand circuit, while a stroke of economy and system, does not change the attitude of the com pany in the least. Despite the most liberal views of the whole situation, the arguments favoring complete abandonment of the racing field, they say, are overwhelming. "Races are practically meaning less," says Mr. Briscoe. "When we participated we had two purposes in view. One was a demonstration to those who might be interested In the purchase of automobiles, and the oth er was to reveal points or features of our product that might be improved upon. No one will doubt that we gave racing a thorough trial. Now we are convinced that there is not a vestige of value upon which to justify our continuing. Races teach nothing to a man who buys a motor car for util ity or for pleasure. They fail to fur nish the test which manufacturers desire." BLOCKED TO TRAFFIC.

By noon today every cable will be in place and every bolt tightened, for one error in the handling of the big double tubes of steel and concrete may mean a loss of more than $100,000. Being in the shape of the barrel of a double barreled shotgun, with a length of 278 feet, a width of 45 feet and a height of 25 feet, the long bore must be low ered to its bed as gently as though it were filled with eggs worth 40 cents a dozen. The contractors have arranged to have the water gates at I,oekport closed at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. By 10 o'clock it is estimated that the back water will have reached the mouth of the river and from its mouth to the Lockport dam the Chicago river will be at a standstill. As soon as the tunnel is firmly in place the gates will be opened. A FREE DEMONSTRATION -OF, THE- WMite (MS' A New and Scientific In vention for the Home.

Sot for Many Tears Has Shift Been So General. MEN WITH RECORDS. Boutell and Hull Give Way to Democrats. Tawney and Gen. Keifer Have Retired to Private Life. Washington, D. G, March 25. The Sixty-second congress, soon to be con vened in extra session, will be remark able on account of the many new men who will take the places of representa tives whose faces have become familiar after long service. Not since the Fifty-fourth Congress has there been such a change. In the election of 1894 the Democrats met with great reverses, and when congress assembled it looked like a new body. The same was true of the Fifty-second Congress, when the Republicans, as a result of the election of 1890. had but 88 members in the House. Following the election of 1894, the Republicans have been successful in every campaign until last year, and the changes have not been. particularly noticeable. Here and there have been new men. but for the most part it seemed that the same men and the same leaders have assembled and been eworn in every two years. While the Republicans have a much larger number of members, even In proportion to the size of the House, than they had in the Fifty-second Con. gress, or the Democrats had in the Fifty-fourth Congress, yet the changes are more noticeable, because, in many cases, men long In the service were de feated by progressives in their own party. In such an election as occurred last fall it always happens that many young men are chosen. Often such men are nominated as a compliment to them, without any idea that they will be elected, because of the strength of the opposition, and they are carried in on the tidal wave. Another Interesting feature found in, the sketches of many of the new men Is the fact that their success tells the story which is familiar to all who can remember their first readers. Boys without anything upon which to begin life, who had to work hard in shop factory, or on the farm who had to support widowed mothers and younger brothers and sisters, nave woricea tneir way onward and upward until they have achieved the goal of their ambl tion. The story of many of the newly elected members is that of the possi bilities in America for the hard-work Ing, sober and ambitious boy, the story of Lincoln and many others of lesser note. It is also noticeable that, as usual, the lawyers predominate among the new list of lawmakers in the House. Even those with other avocations have nought admission to the bar, and as the larger portion of the old membership was lawyers, that profession, as usual, will have an overwhelming preponder ance in the House for the next two years. Passing of BouteU. Few men will be more missed in the House than Henry S. Boutell, Repub lican, Ninth Iillinois, who is succeeded by Lynden Evans, a lawyer of Chicago. Boutell was a close friend of Speaker Cannon, and besides making compli mentary speeches about Uncle Joe in the House, he placed him in nomina tion for the presidency in 190 8 at Chi cago. F-vans is 53 year? olcl, a native of Illinois and a graduate of Knox col lege. He has been practicing law In Chicago for twenty-five years, and, while a member of several civic or ganizations, has never before held a public office. Claude U. Stone. Sixteenth Illinois, the Democratic successor of J. V. Oroff. Republican, Is only 31 years old and will be among the youngest mem bers of the House. Although admitted to the practice of law, he has devoted most of his mature years to education al work, first teaching in order to ob tain money to get through college and Do you think you sion or trade tite. and lay ',SS m lingering cough, bronchitis, er bleeding at the lungs, it will bring about a cure in 98 per cent, of all cases.

Finley H. Gray. Democrat. Sixth In diana, is the only new man elected in Indiana, and succeeds W. O. Barnard in the Watson district. He is a lawyer who began at the bottom of the ladder working on a farm and giving his spare time to study. He finally worked nis way through high school and se cured a college education, was ad mitted to the bar, and after several years of practice came to the front as a Democratic politician. The only office he has ever held was mayor of Con nersville, his home. Hull Gives Way to Prouty. S. F. Prouty, Republican, Seventh Iowa, defeated John A. T. Hull, chair man of the military committee, after he had represented the Des Moines district for twenty years. A mother less boy, one of a large family, arrived in Iowa from Ohio back in 1852. In 1889 that boy became a judge of an important court and last year he was elected to Congress. He belongs to trie insurgent or Cummins wing of the Republican party. Three times before he contested in the primaries for Hull's seat, but it was not until last year that he succeeded. Judge Prcuty has gone through all the hardships of a poor boy from the fronties, but managed to graduate from the Central University and secure a legal education. He was a member of the state legislature at 24 and since that time has had a success ful law practice. Alexander C. Mitchell defeated Charles F. Scott, chairman of the com mittee on agriculture, in the Second Kansas district, in the primary. He la an insurgent and Scott is a regular. Mitchell is a native of Cincinnati, 50 yeare old, but a resident of Kansas since he was 7. He graduated from the law department of the Kansas Uni versity and has been county attorney of Douglas county, member of the legis lature, and member of the State Board of Law Examiners. H. Garland Dupre, Democrat, Sec ond Louisiana, was born the year that Uncle Joe Canon first came to con gress, 1873. As his name implies, he is of French descent, as are the ma jority of the members from Louisiana He is a graduate of Tulane University and a lawyer. He has been assistant city attorney of New Orleans and speaker of the Louisiana house of rep resentatives. Asher Hinds on the Floor. Asher C. Hinds will be better known than any new man In the House, and as well known as any of the older members. He is a Republican and succeeds Amos L. Allen, who did not seek a renomination. Mr. Hinds is best known as a parliamentarian, is the author of Hinds' Precedents, a book that is everywhere accepted as giving the best information to bo obtained concerning the procedure of parlia mentary bodies. For sixteen years he has been the man "at the speaker's el bow," and has guided that officer right in making rulings and untangling knotty parliamentary points. Not only has he been the assistant of the speak er, but of the chairmen presiding over the committee of the whole. Mr. Hinds came here with Speaker Reed, and he now represents the old Reed district, the First Maine. Daniel J. McGillicuddy, Democrat, successor of J. P. Swasey. Republican, is an. orator who is expected to some day electrify the House. He comes from the district long represented by Nelson Dingley and afterward by Charles E. Littlefield. He has been mayor of Lewiston three times and a delegate to the national convention. When he left college he entered the law office of which Senator Frye was a partner. He will find in Congress a classmate and fraternity man in F. C. Stevens of Minnesota, as both are graduates of Bowden College. David J. Lewis, Democrat, Sixth Maryland, who succeeds George A. Pear.-e, Republican, is a man who worked his way from the bottom to the top. He is from the mines, al though now a lawyer. As a boy he conceived the idea of becoming a con gressman, and has kept it in mind un til success crowned his efforts. He is the first Democrat to represent the Sixth Maryland in many years. John Alden Thayer, Democrat, Third Massachusetts, is the successor of Charles G. Washburn Republican. Fifty years ago his father, Eli .Thayer, represented the same district, and it was in 1857. while Eli Thayer was serving his first term that John Alden Thayer was born. The elder Thayer was one of the founders of the Repub lican party, but the impeachment of AndTew Johnson turned him from the party. John Alden Thayer is described Do You Feel This Way? feel all tired out?

He practices in the circuit courts and before the Supreme court. Anderson in Tawney's Seat. Sydney Anderson, First Minnesota, is the man who defeated James A Tawney, chairman of the House com mittee on appropriations.

He is a lawyer, and has been practicing at his home in Lanesboro for five years. As his name implies, he Is of Scandinavian origin, but a na tive of Minnesota. Anderson is an in surgent Republican.

Richard E. Connell, Democrat, who succeeds Hamilton Fish, Republican, in the Twenty-first New York district, is one of the several newspapermen elected to the new House.

Grant, Republican, is one of the men who can "come back." He was a member of congress in the Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth terms. He is a native of North Carolina and a lawyer. The Fourth Ohio district keeps up its reputation for odd names. William Tqu Velle is succeeded by J. Henry Goeke of Wapakoneta. Both are Democrats. Like nearly all the men elected to congress, Mr. Goeke is a lawyer. He has been city solicitor and prosecuting attorney of Auglaize coun ty. Ex-Speaker Keifer Retires. The man who succeed. General J. Warren Keifer, in the Seventh Ohio district, is J. D. Post. He is Demo PAST WEEK AS DEPICTED BY PARSONS WEDNESDAY. Police try to deliver a murder suspect to the county authorities. crat and the former speaker a Repub lican. Post's election was entirely un expected by the Republicans, as it was believed that General Keifer had a life lease on the seat. Keifer was one of the most picturesque figures in, con gress one of the men who returned after twenty years of private life. Mr. Post is another man with a record of hardship in early youth, a struggle from the farm, paying for his educa tion as he went along by teaching school. He is a college graduate, a lawyer and a farmer. Frank B. Willis Republican, Eighth Ohio, was elected to the seat of Ralph D. Cole, having defeated Cole in the primary.

Ten years ago he went to Akron, and has been a manu facturer and real estate dealer there ever since. One of the young men of the new congress is Robert J. Bulkley, Demo crat, elected to succeed J. H. Cassidy, in the Twenty-first Ohio. He has had no public career and only graduated from Harvard in 1902. In 1905 he en gaged in the practice of law at Cleve land.

Miller in the Fourth district, and Young, in surgent, to succeed Judge William A. Calderhead in the Fifth district. Mil ler, Reeder and Calderhead, like Scott, are regulars. The defeated members served over ten years in the House. One of the several insurgents from the far west is A. W. Lafferty, Repub lican, Second Oregon, who defeated W. R. Ellis in the primaries. He was six years in the state, and is no doubt con sidered a carpet-bagger by many old timers of Oregon.

The Railroads Arc Spending Much Coin in Topeka. Opening of New Mills Building Will Occur Thursday. The prosperity which Topeka has ben enjoying in the last three years Is beginning to have its effects. There was a time when outsiders took occa sion to knock on the capital town at every opportunity. Now they are boosting. "There never was a time In the his tory of the city when the feeling out side of Topeka was as favorable to wards the city as now," said a real es tate man today. "Out in the little vil lages and In the competing cities To peka has more boosters than ever be fore. One meets people on the trains now who say Topeka is coming to the front. "For example William Harrison, a large farm owner and banker from Whiting, Kan., attended the Berkowitz meeting at the Commercial club .the other night and afterwards remarked: 'What a bunch of live wires you have here in Topeka. I'm gclng to carry home some of the enthusiasm to my home. 'When I got on the train to come to Topeka a lady sat down beside me. She asked me where I was going and I told her Topeka. She said she was going there too, and for the last time, as she expected to make the city her home. I told her that I was going to live in Topeka too later on as I liked the place.' "Mr. Harrison told me that he had heard more favorable comments In re gard to Topeka as a place to live and make money than ever before, and he has lived in Kansas forty-five years. Many New Dwellings. The., prospects are particularly bright for' a season of great activity, especially in the building of residences. "I don't believe the outlook has ever been better," remarked L. W. Wilson of the firm of Wilson and Nelswanger. "There are many coming to Topeka, and in all the time I have lived in To peka I have never seen a period when there were so few available houses to rent of a comfortable type of course one can always find undesirable houses." One real estate firm finds that there is such a demand for the purchase of new and attractive homes that the company is unable to build such dwell ings fast enough to meet the demand. The finishing touches are now being put on the new- Mills building, which has been erected at a cost or ;Z50,00U and is the best structure of the kind in Kansas. The date of the opening has been set for Thursday of next week. Half of the work of decorating the show windows in readiness for the opening day has been completed. Goods are being put in place on the first third, fourth and fifth floors of the building. An Independent telephone system has been installed, and the cash vacuum system is now In working order. An Interesting Cash System. This cash system is something new in Topeka and is said to be the quick est means of "making" change in ex istence at the present time. It was in stalled by the Lamson Consolidated Store Service company. The machin ery which creates the vacuum is self regulating and the proper amount of pressure is maintained constantly, as is shown by the gage. A felt padded cartridge makes the trip from the fifth story of the build ing to the basement, where the change is made, and a return in eight seconds. The reporter who saw the system in operation timed one of these money boxes from the time it left the first floor to the time It shot out of the tube after making the trip to the basement, and the trick was done in six seconds and no special effort was made by the operator in the basement to make time. There are twenty-five lines in con nection with this system considerably more than a mile of tubing. Six hundred feet of the tubing is of solid brass material, and 5,200 of steel. There will be three operators in the basement who will handle the cash. When there is a charge to be made a cartridge padded with red instead of black felt is used, and this is shot by the basement operators to the main office for approval. Four men have been, at the window washing job on the building for a pe riod of two and one-half weeks, and still the task Is not completed. This shows the magnitude of the glass sur face on the exterior of the building. Railroads Make Improvements. Work of remodeling the general of fice building of the Rock Island has been completed. In round numbers $5,000 was spent in the improvements. The general appearance of the build ing has been improved a hundred per cent as the structure has been refin ished throughout. All the offices are crowded and, it FRIDAY. Three bold K. N. G. officers are Bent away to war maneuvers. will probably be but a matter of a short time before it will be absolutely necessary to put on an addition to the building. The addition will likely be shot upwards Instead of enlarging the ground floor dimensions. The Rock Island is spending some thing like $85,000 in raising the bridge across the Kaw. and its yards In To peka. This means that many men will be given employment, which, of course is good for the city. In the future there will not be the danger of a ravaging fire such as de stroyed half a million dollazs worth of freight cars in the Santa Fe yards. The Santa Fe is Installing a high pres sure fire protection system which will safeguard the yards. The cost of the improvements will aggregate about (50,00. All available funds for the construc tion of Grace Cathedral have v been used, and up to this time nearly $90,000 has been expended. The members oi the congregation are building the structure by degrees, the policy being to pay for the work as It progresses. The building will be completed as fast as the necessary funds come in. At the present time arrangements are being made to clear away the debris and sod the grounds so that tney wm make a good showing next summer. The church edifice will be the hand somest building of the kind In the city, and will cost when completed about $125,000. It Is now a matter of but a short time before construction work will be gin on the $30,000 Sunday school ad dition to the First Methodist church. This will be the most costly and up-to- date Sunday cshool plant In Kansas, and no pains are being spared In get- tine the-latest ideas in cnurcn duhq in. J. C.

Tells French Court of His Invention of the Aeroplane. Paris. March 25. Wilbur Wright a witness today before the civil tribunal of the Seine which is hearing the suit brought by the French owners of the Wright Brothers' aeroplane patents against Far man, Blerlot and others for Infringement. The American had been especially summoned to relate the history of the inventions brought out by his brother Orville and himself with a particular reference to the warping wing principle which it is claimed, has been illegally adopted by French constructors. Mr. Wright traced the efforts of the brothers, first with kites and then with planes until finally they Invented the mobile-vertical tail and forward rudder, "aftr which," said Mr. Wright, "the problem of equilibrium was solved and the epoch of human flight arrived." These principles, the witness said, were patented In 1903 and were not di vulged as the-defense contends, before the patents were granted. The case was adjourned until March 30, when arguments will be made. HXGERS GROUND IX. S HELLER- Marquette Man Gets HisJLeft Hand Badly Mangled! Marquette, Kan., March 25. While shelling corn for C.

A man don't die but -once, nohow, and when my time comes, don't take no chances. A week's none too soon to plant a man." In the thirty-two years Dupree lived in Topeka he made a record. In the years that come a person can go to the court house and find the history of the things George Dupree did. George wasn't naturally bad, but years ago he formed a persistent habit of violating the prohibitory law. The habit was never broken, although Dupree spent long, tedious days in jail and spent hundreds of dollars in real money to atone for his infringements. It was away back in the days of Chief Stahl that Dupree made a long distance record for running a Joint. In those days Dupree conducaed a lit tle hole-in-the-wall establishment and dispensed the liquid refreshments with astounding regularity.

When the district court convened the bar docket was literally decorated with Dupree's name. Sometimes he won a major number ot his cases. Sometimes he lost. But Dupree was usually cheerful. Ha made few comments and returned to the old trade with a regularity that was worthy of mention. Andrew Dupree, a brother, -was sometimes caught in the dragnet when the officers made a successful haul.

Once they arraigned Andrew in front of the bar of justice, when the warrant plainly specified that George had com-, mitted the offense against the law. Andrew pleaded not guilty. The trial had almost concluded before the of-, fleers learned that Andrew had beenj substituted for the real prisoner. In the last few years George Dm pree's trips to the police station wera few and of lengthy intervals! One day last fall Dupree was taken to the po lice court for maintaining a nuisance! at his restaurant 1007)6 Kansas avi enue. He was fined, an la the custom) of the court, and an appeal bottd fur nished. But Dupree's case was never settled. It is' still on the dockets ot the district court.

Dupree cared little for society after that. He devoted much of his time to persistent violations of the prohibitory law and for fifteen years caused the officers no small amount of trouble.
