'it n PLANDOESN'TSUIT Ech em e of Supporting State In stitutions Unsatisfactory. Commission Suggests That Di rect Tax Be Levied. WORK OUT THE PLAX. Details Will Be Submitted at a Later Date. Also Make Effort to Stop Dupli cation of Work. One of the most Important proposi tions which 'will be submitted to the next legislature will be the question of a permanent tax for the support of the three state educational institu tions. The Kansas commission for higher education, organized yesterday by the regents of the state university, fcgrieultural college and normal school appointed a committee to investigate a plan to give the schools a perman ent fund for maintenance and im provements. Under the present plan the three schools are supported by' the appro priations made by the legislature. This necessitates appeals and trades and dickering by the different schools and their friends to persuade the economy-loving legislators to give suf ficient funds to keep the schools go ing. The schools have to play poli tics to a considerable extent. An effort is to be made to remove these schools from the political field as far as appropriations are concerned 'at least. It is planned to order a de finite tax to be- levied each year. Un der the present valuations of Kansas property a levy of one-half a mill will raise $2,752,000 for two years. The legislature appropriated $2,620,000 for the coming two fiscal years. This Fniall levy would raise $130,000 more for tho two coming years than is at present appropriated for these schools. It is planned to work out a scheme whereby the legislature will designate that a certain tax be levied each year, the same as is now levied for state purposes and the money received from this levy is to be set aside for the use of the three schools exclusively. The schools are to divide the money in cer tain proportions. As the state grew more money would be needed and more would be available. If new buildings were needed the regents would have to work out a plan to save enough money from the amount allotted to it in one or two years to pay for That building- and equipment, s The question was thoroughly dis cussed at the conference of the regents and Governor Stubbs, chairman of the 1 new commission, appointed Rodney El ward of the university, W. E. Black burn of the Agricultural college and J. E. Boyer of the normal school as a sSpeeial committee to work out the de tails of the plan. When the plan is finished it will be presented to the commission and then the board of the three institutions will endorse it and all go before the next legislature to secure its enactment into law. This will stop all the bickering and criticism of the legislature and state officers and the political activities of the schools in legislative matters. The regents of the three schools were In conference four hours yesterday afternoon and organized themselves into an educational commission to handle the business and administrative matters of the three schools. Th's commission is to adopt plans for the unification of the schools in general but still leave each school its own in itiative. The acts of the commission are not binding unless the boards of regents of each school adopt them. Three committees were named, be sides the tax committee. These com mittees are to have charge of certain features of the work of the three schools. The committee on business management is composed of L. a. Cam bern, university; M. M. Sherman, Agri cultural college; J. E. Junkin, normal school. The committee is to have com plete charge of the financial affairs of the three schools. It will see how the money Is expended, where there It waste and develop plans to get the mot-t good out of the cash available. The committee on efficiency is com posed of W. A. White, university; A. L. Spongier, Agricultural college, and Sheffield Ingalls, Normal school. This committee is to see that the three schools do the best possible work all the time. It is to determine whether or not all the departments and all the teachers are doing the best work pos sible for the students and if the ex periments carried on are bringing the greatest good possible to the state. The committee on co-ordination is composed of Scott Hopkins, university; Arthur Capper, Agricultural college, snd George E. Tucker, Normal school. This committee is to try to stop the duplication of work in the three schools as much as possible, it is to develop the plans for making the school work and experimental plans of the three schools dovetail as much as cossible to prevent duplication and competition and have the courses of study uniform and equal as far as possible. SHORTAGE OF $8,500. Chicago Posfoffioe Has Been Looted of Stamped Envelopes. Chicago. April 7. A shortage of $8,500 has been reported in the wholesale stamped envelope department of the Chicago postoffice. At the same time Postmaster Campbell said the head of the department, John J. Daly, had not appeared at the postofRce since the shortage was called to his attention last Monday. AFTER JUDGE'S SCALP. Tiger Bill Sues for the Wichita Judge ship. The ouster suit of W. P. Campbe! against Thorton W. .Sargent, the new judge of the second division of the dis trict court in Sedgwick county, was l ied in the supreme court today. Camp bell was an applicant for the place but did not get it. He is an old soldier and formerly was a judge in southern Kan sas. He based his application for the place on his soldier record, asserting that he was as fit mentally and phys ically as'ever in his life and fully quali fied to be the new judge. Governor Stubbs appointed Sargent, who is not an old soldier, and now Campbell is seeking to oust Sargent be cause the governor failed to name the old soldier applicant. The law says that when an old soldier is an applicant for a job he must be given the preference if he is as well qualified as the other candidates. VOTE WILL STAND Canvass Is Completed and Shows Little Change. Jones Crowds Voiland Off School Board. The board of canvassers of the city commission met this morning and can vassed the vote cast at the city elec tion. The only change of importance in the canvass returns is in the school board. Here L. M. Jones nosed Fred Voiland out of sixth place and out of the election. The cause for this big loss was the fact that the election judges in making the counts had mistaken the name "VanHorn" for "Voiland" and vice versa. As a result Voiland was given a big vote and the election. The board of canvassers found the mistake in their count today. The hopes of C. E. Jordan to ob tain the election as a commissioner from E. B. Stotts failed. Both Jordan and Stotts lost votes in the final count but their places remain unchanged. Mayor Billard lost four votes and Tom McNeal five votes. This settles all doubt as to the final mayoralty de cision. After the votes had been counted and the official figures sworn to, the five new commissioners were sworn in by the city attorney. Mayor Billard and Commissioners Bone, Tandy and Miller were re-elected to their offices and Stotts, the new successful candi date, was made a real comissioner. M. C. Holman stepped down and out. It is now "Commissioner Stotts" instead of "Mr. Stotts." The official results: MAYOR. Male. Female. Total. Billard 5.665 2.095 7.760 McNeal 3,690 3.S95 7,585 COMMISSIONERS. Male. Female. Total.

Nearly a Hundred Million Dollars in Kansas Banks. The Kansas state bank deposits have not reached the one hundred million mark yet, but the indications point to the deposits going above that mark this year. If the same increase in de posits is shown during the next three months that was shown between No vember 23 and March 16, the deposits will exceed the hundred million mark. J. N. Dolley, state bank commissioner has given out the statement of the condition of the 869 state banks at the close of business. March 16. It shows total deposits of $96,254,685.82, an increase of $4,493,449.21 since the statement of November 3. The total reserve at present is 35.8 per cent of the deposits and this shows an increase of four and eight-tenths points over the reserve report of November 23.

So Hutchinson Man Has Made Appli cation for Divorce. Hutchinson. Kan., April 7. Mrs. Betty Streeter has gone to Topeka. That is one of the reasons why Ben Streeter asked the district court today to grant him a divorce He also complains that his wife ob jected to his working nights, and kicked because his paycheck wasn't mgger, ana otnerwise made things un pleasant for him. FIRE WIPED IT OUT Record of Kansas' First Court Destroyed at Leavenworth. Judge LeCompte Would Have Had It That Way. HIS LIFE EMBITTERED Refused to Send His Picture to Historical Society. Secretary Martin Tried Inef fectually to Get Books. The records of the first territorial court in Kansas, probably the most valuable historical documents in Kan sas, were destroyed when the Leaven worth county court house was burned two or three weeks ago. At the time of the fire it was thought that these most valuable historical records had been saved, but it has since been found that practically every page of the court documents were destroyed. George W. Martin, secretary of the State Histori cal society, has been trying to get those records for years to keep in the archives of the society, which are re garded as fire-proof. Judge Samuel G. LeCompte .was the judge of the first territorial court and his life was filled with bitterness on account of the attacks made upon him and his court. It is probable that no court has ever been so severely criti cised since the days of the star cham ber practices in England and the se cret courts of the continental coun tries. There may have been good grounds for this criticism. It was in the border days when political and bellicose passions were rampant and the court is often said to have decided according to his own personal feelings rather than according to the law. The free state settlers were said to have been continually persecuted by Judge LeCompte and that there was hardly any possible form of persecu tion that the court did not attempt. The pro-slavery forces watched the de cision of the court in great glee and enjoyed the persecutions of the anti slavery men hugely. Judge LeCompte is the man who re fused to send his picture to the his torical society and in his refusal said that he would rather havj his name scratched for the records and his mem ory blotted out than to perpetuate it by a photograph in the halls of the his torical society. "Under an act of the legislature of 1905, establishing a department of archives for the preservation of official books, documents and correspondence, the state historical society made sev eral efforts to obtain the records of Judge Samuel D. Lecompte'e territorial court," said George Martin, secretary of the historical society. "The books were in the Leavenworth county court house, and they were destroyed in the burning of that building. They were of the utmost importance from a his torical viewpoint, and were frequently called for. Probably no court in this country was ever rendered more' ob noxious, by the political and bellicose passions of the hour, than the first territorial court of Kansas, presided over by Samuel D. Lecompte. Judge Lecompte, after statehood, became a Republican, was elected to the legisla ture from Leavenworth county as a Republican in 1867 and 1868, and in 1874 s rved as chairman of the Republican congressional committee of the First district. He grieved and lived in ex ceeding bitterness all his days because of the criticism of his record as a judge. Personally and socially he was such as to make the prejudice appear incredi ble. We have got so far away from that period that an injustice to a sin gle individual is today of no conse quence, but any wrong to Lecompte has been augmented and perpetuated by the careless loss- of these records. "Lecompte made a defense of himself in Sol Miller's Troy Chief, of February 4, 1875, and this was reproduced in volume 8, of the historical collections, 'as an act of historic justice.' Judge Adams, secretary of the society, ask ed Lecompte for his photograph as a contribution to the society. In a re sponse Judge Lecompte said: 'Coming in the form it does and for the purpose specified, while I nonetheless appreci ate your motive and return my heart felt thanks for the intended kindness, I feel obliged to every consideration of self-respect and in deference to long felt and profoundly impressed convic tions, to decline your suggestion. Here follow 12 pages of exceeding bitterness, closing with the following paragraph: 'Instead of contributing to its perpetu ation in archives, so abounding with manifold outrages, and where such a character holds, and so far as human prescience can forecast, is destined to hold a lofty preeminence, I should greatly prefer that my name should be crossed from every record and ob literated from every memory. I close with the assurance that I have no de sire that my photograph or picture should grace, as perhaps a score of my personal inenas mignt aeem, or disgrace, as the hosts who have con federated to by destruction would ad judge, the walls of the historical soci ety of the state." "There never was any sense in these records remaining in the Leavenworth court house. The purpose of the act of the legislature was to gather up such things in a place of safety, where pro per care and use could be given them. History is righting itself and modify ing many things every day, but the injustice, much or little, meted out to Lecompte. is practically perpetuated by the loss of his court records."

GREETEDJHE KING Count Zeppelin in His Dirigible, the New Deuschland, Leaves Friediehshafen for Stutt gart With Several Passengers. THE SILVER WEDDING Of William II of Wuerteniberg and Queen Charlotte. Airship Will Tisit Baden Baden and Dusseldorff. Friedrichshafen, Germany, April 7. In his dirigible balloon the new Deutschland, Zeppelin with a number of passengers set out at 8:25 o'clock this morning for Stuttgart to greet King William II of Wuertemberg and Queen Charlottee on the occasion to morrow of their silver wedding anni versary. From Stuttgart the airship will proceed to. Baden Baden and Duesseldorff. King William is an enthusiast in aerial navigation and in July, 1908, both he and the queen took a flight with Zeppelin over Lake Constance. It was the first time in history that a reigning king and queen dared such an adventure. He Drops a Bouquet. Stuttgurt, Wuertemberg, April 7. The Deutschland arrived here at 3 o'clock this afternoon and circled over the Royal palace while Count Zeppelin cropped a parachute bouquet with his greetings to the king and queen, A landing was made in the suburbs, where additional passengers were taken on. BRYAN CALLS ON TAFT. Spends an -Hour With the President and Meets the Cabinet. Washington. April 7. William Jen nings Bryan explained at the White House today that he was not opposed to the selection of Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia as minority leader of the senate, but that he personally would not vote for Senator Martin if he were a member- of the senate. "If I were a senator," said Mr. Bryan, "Mr. Martin would not be my first choice for minority leader." Mr. Bryan spent almost an hour with President Taft and before he left met practically every member of the cabinet. He refused to say what sub ject he had discussed with .the presi dent. Washington, Aprlft 7. William Jennings Bryan told the, committee sent here by the citizens ot Memphis to- invite him to make his home In that city, that he could not accept. Tae invitation was extended at a luncheon given Mr. Bryan by the committee. Judge James M. Greer, of Memphis, pre sented the Memphis idea. He was follow ed by Senators Lea and Taylor and Repre sentatives Sission, of Mississippi, and Kobinson, of Arkansas, and Cuke C, Bowers, of Memphis. They begged Mr. Bryan to come "where tne people. ioed him, where he would al ways find friends." Mr. Bowers said he felt sure that Memphis could easily raise $2,000,000 If that would be any- inducement to Mr. Bryan to live in his city. Mr. Bryan replied that it was not a money consideration and that if he look ed at it in that light he would not be worthy of such an Invitation. He said he knew he had friends in the south who would stand by him, and that was why they did not need him; they needed him more in the north. CHINESE HELD UP. Two Hundred of Them at Ensenada Suffering for Food. San Diego, April 7. With every foot of the Mexican boundary patrolled by United States troops, while a fleet of war craft of all kinds is operating out of San Diego harbor, the smuggling of Chinese across the boundary has been made a too hazardous undertaking as a result of the military and naval mobilization. Without hope of effecting an en trance to this country in the near fu ture, the Chinese now at Ensenada are in a sorry plight and are appeal ing to their countrymen in California for assistance. G. R. a MEN HELD. Agents of Rubber Company Charged With Misuse of Mails. Boston. April 7. On charges of usirg the United States mails to defraud the public of large sums of money Warren B. Wheeler and Stillman Shaw of the firm of Wheeler Shaw, incorporated, formerly fiscal agents for the North American Rubber company of this city and Hyde Park, were arrested at the federal building today after they had voluntarily surrendered to Deputy United States Marshal Ruhl. Mercury Down to Freezing. The mercury had reached the freez ing point by 7 o'clock this morning. but a warmer brand c weather is predicted for tomorrow, although un settled. There will likely be showers tonight or tomorrow, says S. D. Flora, the government weatner observer. There is a storm in progress in the vicinity of Denver, which is moving in an- easterly direction. The result will probably be that no fair weather will prevail in Topeka in the next day or so. The wma is mowing ten mues an hour from the east.

Walter John son, premier pitcher of the American League, will not play with Washington this season. News came from Atlanta last night that he would not sign up under the Washington team's terms of $6,500, but was holding out for $7,500. Manager McAleer finally told him to Quit. HARNESSTHEKAW H. von Schon Tells How It Can Be Done. Will Require the Expenditure of Million Dollars. PRO VIDECIIEAP POWER Amount Generated Would Be Six Thousand Horse. Selects Willard as the Available Site. Most H. von Sch electric engineer of Detroit, Mich, js of the opinion that an expenditure of a million dollars would build a dam and auxiliary steam nlant on tho Kaw at a point near Willard, which would provide cheap power for the use of Topekans to the extent of 6,000 horse power. The dam would cost $500,000 and the steam nlant with a rannnitv of producing 5,000 horsepower would necessitate the use of another half million dollars. The 75 business men who were present Thursday nie-ht for Mia K-KO Von Schon dinner at the Commercial club were enthusiastic over the propo sition, and the chairman, J. Will Kel ley, president of the Commercial club, was authorized to anooint a committee of five to raise the two or three thous and dollars required to pay an ex pert engineer to spend some weeks making a careful detailed report which will be required in case definite action is taken relative to the con struction of a power plant. Burge Will Take Hold. After the meeting N. B. Burere. who has been taking an unusual degree of inxerest in tne idea or harnessing the Kaw. told a State Journal reoorter that he and a friend were prepared to undertake the necessary steps to wards building a dam across the Kan sas river. "But," said he, "it will take four or five years to complete such an undertaking for the reasor. that it will take a year or more to get the right from congress to construct a dam, and then the execution of as large proposition is naturally not a rapid matter. Now there isn t any hot air about this I mean business. Why. two miles north of Manhattan on the Blue river at the place which was known as Rocky Ford, a half million dollars has been spent by Junction City men to get less than 3,000 horsepower. Samuel Brown of Chicago is con structing a hydro-electric nlant at the Grand river in northeastern Kansas paying one and a half million dollars to develop a little more than 3,000 horsepower to sell to mine operators." Plan to Raise Money. There were several methods sug gested for raising the money neces sary for paying for a complete report by an expert engineer. It was pro posed that a corporation capitalized at $5,000 to be formed for the purpose of exploitation, the stock to be sold over the city in small blocks so that as many persons as possible would have an interest in the proposition and the cost of defraying the expense would not fall upon a few individuals. A number ot those present including users of power and loyal citizens agreed to do their part towards pay ing an engineer for this work. Major T. J. Anderson, who was interested in damming the Kaw years ago, said that he could be depended upon at this time to do his part towards making it possible for Topeka to have cheap power. Must Be Above City. "I have spent two days in looking over the physical conditions," said Mr. von Schon. "No mortal being would be allowed to build a dam below your city. It would raise the water a foot and you would increase your flood stage. "The proposition of carrying a canal across the bend on the North side is not feasible as a power proposition, al though it would be a success as a means of eradicating the flood difficul ties. There is not the proper founda tion for a dam at thi point there is too much quicksand. "Near Willard, 17 miles wesj of To peka. is the first point where an ap parently continuous rock ledge crosses the river. One-half mile west of that is what is known as 'Rocky ford, which makes a rapid fall of two feet or more. This is the best location for a dam near Topeka. "At this point the river is 750 feet v ide; the south bank is 30 feet high and the north bank is 20 feet high with the land sloping upward. Tou can build a 10 foot dam the structure would be 15 feet high itself which would create a 10 foot fall. "This would give you a development of 6,000 horse power, and would cost a half million dollars. If you wanted 6,000 horse power throughout the entire year you would have to put In a steam plant which would have a capacity for 5.000 horse power and cost $500,000 to build. "If the members of this club will take a suggestion from me you will have storage facilities of the river ex amined, and if you can store water for io.OOO horse power, you could a steam plant one-half the size of the one men tioned. "By putting in the storage facilities t:.e flood damages would be reduced. You would be a public beneficiary, and would be regulating the force of the waters. "If you want double the horse pow er mentioned you could construct a canal from' the dam to the bend in the river near Valencia, a distance of four miles, at a cost of a million dollars. The canal would have to be lined throughout with concrete, and if such a canal were built it might be possible to eliminate the cost of an auxiliary steam plant. Use for the Power. "In Topeka there are soma 400 in dustries using power ten" thousand horse power is a rough estimate. You turn up 60,000 tons of coal in your shops, I should say, which is absolutely thrown away. The city waterworks, a good plant, could save $1,875 a year on "oal. And here is this city located on the shores of one of the great America a rivers. "You do not have to go into the proposition blindly. The government has kept a record of the flow of the Kaw at Lecompton for the last 15 years. This shows that the year 1903 was the dry est time on record in that period. In estimating the possibilities of the wa ter power of the Kaw you can figure on the lowest flow of this period. Four months of the year would not have pro vided the necessary power. That makes it necessary to build an auxil iary steam power plant or utilize reservoirs provided on the tributaries of the Kaw. "The estimated running expenses of the proposed plant, provided a steam auxiliary plant be erected, would be $235,000, after making the proper de ductions for deterioration of the ma chinery. The plant would produce 28, 000.000 kilowatt hours per year, which it sold at one cent per kilowatt hour would clear $280,000 annually. This would pay expenses, but if two cents were charged the earnings of the plant would be $560,000 per year, which would net a profit of 15 per cent to the stock holders." In this connection it might be mentioned that a number of those present at the meeting said they were pas-ing the Edison company 5 cents per kilowatt hour. Mr. von Schon told in an interesting manne. of the details of producing a hydro-electric plant, illustrating with lantern slides. IN BURNING MINE. More Than Half a Hundred Men Are Entombed. Little Chance of Escaping Death From Suffocation. Scran ton, Pa., April 7. Fifty to seventy-five men employed in the Pan cost mine of the Scranton Coal com pany at Throop are entombed in tho inner workings with all chance of es cape, it is believed, cut off. Fire is raging along an entire vein owing to an engine house having been set ablaze. The mine is equipped with two open ings but the location of the burning en gine room is such as to have cut off escape by these routes. Two men who escaped said there were fifty men shut in by the fire. This afternoon it was realized by employees and admitted by some of the officials that the situation was grave and that an almost hopeless task confronted tho rescuers in attempting to reach the en tombed men. The fire is in the working 750 feet be low the surface. Officials, scores of workmen, volun teer firemen and the Throop fire de partment are working to get to the men supposed to be in one part of the mine. The fire is reported to have started In an engine room at the end of the slope from an unknown cause. Three hundred men were in the mines when the alarm was given and owing to the great excitement it is impossible to learn just how many got out. Unless the men thought to be trapped are soon reached it is feared they will all die if they have not already been smoth ered by smoke. Karly this afternoon it was learned that it was impossible to reach the men for some time owing to the smoke and the great distance they are below the surface. The news of the fire stpread rapidly and hundreds flocked to the mouth of the shaft. Women were frantic and tore their hair and clothing in their despair anfl many had to be taken from the scene. An investigation showed the fire is so located as to cut off escape from both openings. When the seriousness of the situation dawned on the mining officials the rescue station at Wilkesbarre was Im mediately notified and the Delaware, Lacawanna Western emergency car was sent to Throop with the crew. Thay carried with them oxygen helmets and other equipments to fight the fire. BLOWN OFF' HIS STOOL Telephone Operator Stunned by Ex plosion in New York Street. New York, April 7. A heavy bomb was exploded ih front of the basement door at No. 131 West Forty-fifth street between Sixth avenue and Broadway in the very center of the ail night district at 5 o'clock this morn ing. The terrific report jarred the whole neighborhood for 15 blocks around and the force of the explosion blew in the basement door of the chop house and shattered all the windows. No one was hurt. In the hotel Lyzum nearby, the tele phone operator was blown from his stool and stunned by the fall and the guests came piling downstairs in a panic. From apartment houses near the scene scantily dressed crowds poured onto the pavements surveyed the damage done and went to bed again. MRS. BROOKS ACQUITTED She Killed Another Woman Who Stole Her Husband. Fort Worth, April 7. Mrs. T. M. Brooks, who has been on trial here for a week charged with the murder of Mrs. Mary Binford, on -January 16, was today declared not guilty by the Jury. Mrs. Brooks is the wife of a well known local attorney and during the rush hours of shopping went to a large department store, where Mrs. Binford was employed, and shot her to death. Mrs. Brooks claimed that Mrs. Bin ford had tried to alienate her hus band's affections. The verdict was rendered in her favor on the ground of insanity. Dur ing the trial Mrs. Brooks testified that for two years she set aside two hours each day for praying that Mrs. Bin ford would let her husband alone. Mercer Is Reappointed. Governor Stubbs has reappointed J. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitary commissioner. The term is for two years. Mercer was appointed live stock sanitary commissioner two years ago, Just after the legislature adjourned. Mercer has been a member of the legis lature for three sessions from Chaj, county. He was chairman of the house ways and means committee in the 1911 session. Mercer owns a big ranch in Chase county and is one of the best known stockmen in the state.

The magnitude of the task appears when it is remembered that it took eight hours to transfer the 800 passen gers of the sinking steamer Republic. No passengers will be risked in small boats at night. It seems likely there of w-,Lf,the weather permits the Prinz Wilhelm will take aboard all the passengers she can and leave the others on the stranded ship. There has been absolutely no fear for the safety of the passengers, who in ract, have shown no apprehension over their enforced stay on the shoals, borne of the ocean voyagers played bridge whist in the cabin while others attended the band concert. Neither did the steerage passengers show any fear. Captain George E. Goddard. of the Lone Hill life saving station, spent all last night aboard the Irene and came ashore this morning in the station surf boat. "I had a long talk with Captain Peterssen of the Irene," said Captain Goddard soon after he came ashore, and he was at a loss to explain how he ever sot ashore. He told me he had been sounding regularly and that the last sounding showed 18 fathoms, the next he knew the Irene was on the sand shoal." Fire Island, April 7. The sea was found to be running too high for the life boats with the passengers in transit to make the trip to the Prinze Wilhelm safely, consequently the life boat ran alongside the tug Timmons on the lee side of the Irene and put their passengers1 on board. The tug left the Irene with her first load at 2:19 o'clock. STRIKERS FIGHT POLICE. One Killed and Several Wounded When 400 Battle With Officers. Prince Rupert. B. C.

The thirty-second annual convention of the Topeka Presbyterian society, which began with a conference Wednesday evening, will come to a close tonight. The evening session will be in the nature of a young peo ple's mass meeting, with the members of the Christian Endeavor and other societies present in force. This afternoon Mrs. H. L. Weber, who spent several years in Afuler, Africa, engaged in missionary work, gave an interesting talk on "West Africa Missions." The morning session dealt largely with the work of the young people in the church. Perhaps the address which made those attending the sessions "sit up and take notice" more than anything was that of Dr. S. J. Crumbine, who, Thursday night, declared that "There is four times as much money spent in the United States each year for gum as there is spent for foreign missions. "In one year in this tountry $20, 000.000 is paid out for gum, as com pared with $5,000,000 given toward foreign missions,"

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 7, 1911. RAILR0A0 NEWS. Nearly 3 Billion In Transports, tion Revenues 1910. Operating Expenses Near the 2 Billion Mark. MILEAGE OF 337,332. Increase of 4,250 Miles of Track Last Year. Other Items of General Inter est in Traffic World. Chicago, April 7: The seventh annua report of the bureau of railway news and statistics contains much of inter est, following a year of many disputes between the railroads and the Interstate commerce commission. The following information Is taken from the report: For the fiscal year transportation revenues amounted to 2,787.2ti6,000; ope rating expenses to 1,847,189.000; taxes to $104,144,076, and Income from oper ation $801,642,879. An analysis of the business, according to the report, shows that instead of the railway paying $405,131,650 in dividends, as stated In Commissioner Lane's de cision, only $166,828,874 could have been paid out of transportation revenues, the difference being paid out of the lncom from other sources, such as Interest and dividends received from other rail ways. There were operated a total of 337,53.4 miles of track, of which 227,525 miles was main line road. This was an in crease of 4.250 miles for 1910. June 30, 1910. there were 1,684,238 em ployees on all the roads, receiving for the year Sl.137.016.508, or 42 per cent of the gross earnings. The average daily pay Increased during the past five years from $2.07 to $2.29. During the year railways carried 1, 760.J03.000 tons of freight, an average of 146 miles per ton, far in excess of the figure for 1909. Stress s laid on the few accidents on railways during the year. NO KICK FROM LOIBERMEX. Sew reversion Privilege Cancellation Is Not Felt. Lincoln, Neb., April 7. I lncoln whole sale lumber dealers say they have not Buffered from the effect of the cancella tion of the diversion privileges on lum ber shipped on the lines west of the Missouri. Diversion privileges were cancelled by an order of the railroad companies that went Into effect Decem ber 24 last. The only effect the order is having is that It compels buyers to put in their orders about two weeks earlier than they formerly had to. Formerly retail dealers throughout the st&te could order a car of lumber from the wholesale dealer who might have a train load of lumber in transit on the way from the mills to some point In the state. When the order from the retail er was received the wholesale dealer could wire the agent at the point to which the train load of lumber was billed and could there have one of .the cars diverted to the point from which the order came and rebilled oil a through rate. Under the new order the retailer must get his order in in suf ficient time thnt the car can be billed to him direct when it leaves the mills. The new order saves the agents at tn.i former diversion points a lot of work and confusion. If for any reason it is necessary to change the billing on the car the rate is increased. Billing wi'.l still be changed on the cars but the change of billing does not give the shipper the benefit of the through rate all the way. GOULD GILF" TERMINAL PROJECT Preliminary Work on Million' Dollar Scheme. Galveston. Tex., April 7. The con struction of a two-mile cutoff double track from a point about 12 miles north of Galveston Island, on the Galveston, Houston Henderson railroad, due east to Galveston Bay, is the first move in the million-dollar project for a new port of the Gould system, of which the International Great Northern is the pouth Texas arm. The plan is to build Its own docks with rail and water terminals on a section of land about a mile long on Galveston bay. The dredg ing of a short channel will give the ne docks a 25-foot channel by connecting with the Texas city channel emptying out through the jetties. With the construction of extensive fire proof docks, the Gould system will Reliable Laxative for Old People Given Free Life is so arranged that there is a close resemblance between Infancy and old age.

DECREASE MARCH CAR LOADING Traflice Over the Country Is on Decrease. Chicago, April 7. Lessened railroad traffic is reflected in the decreased car loading figures being reported. The car loading report of the Burlingto.i for March shows a decrease of 21,000 cars, as compared with the same month a year ago. The bulk of the loss is contained in a 13,000 decrease for coal, although the month, as a whole, fell short of last year, when conditions were more favorable. The Wabash car loading for March shows 200,362 cars, as compared with 217,156 cars for the same month of last year, a decrease of 16,794 cars. Considering the very favorale conditions that prevailed last year, the report for this year is regarded as mak ing a fairly good showing. GRAND VNION CHIEFS MEET.

Will "Spot" the Collfgians .Beecher and Buchanan. KAWS LOOK GOOD NOW The M. G. R. Is Pleased With His Aggregation. Baseball Bits From Here and There on Circuit. Manager Moore will loan the Wash- Burn college team fitcners ueecner am; Buchanan for the Kaw-Washburn game tomorrow afternoon and the collegi ate3 ought to show class enough to make it a good exhibition game. The college men have been training out doors as long as have the Kaws and with the assistance of league pitchers will have a good aggregation. Moore and his men disliked to com pete with the regular Washburn twir ler in the game because of his color tone and offered the loan of Beecher and Buchanan. This slant artist is Art Hardy, who also is some half back in the autumn. He is a crack box man for the college and is eligible among the schools where athletics are opened to all students. Moore is plenty pleased with the con dition of the Kaws. "They look good to me." he said today. "Now that we have the infield filled out, a big weight is lifted from my mind. The pitching staff i3 fine. I have much faith in Ald erman, who has Just signed up. Now, if I succeed in landing an outfielder I am after, all we have to do is to get ready for the big show." Alderman and the manager had a conference over the long distance yes terday and Tessie expressed himself as highly pleased that he would be with the new Topeka team. The whole bunch is hard working youngsters with everything to gain and they undoubt edly will fight hard all the way. The outfielder whom Moore has been trying to land for some time is Dalton, for merly with Des Moines but now owned by the Brooklyn Nationals. Moore him self, has tried to keep the identity of the man concealed until he either won or failed in the deal, but a stock com pany can't keep a secret. The Kaw outfield for tomorrow will be Thomaeon. left; Crompton, center; Katz and Breitenstein. right. The infield will be: Whitney and Sabrie, first; Moore, second; Hopke, short; and Haftord, third. Syfert, Fugate and Leak will pitch and Kerns and Hawkins catch. Washburn will send out McNeish, first; Stahl, second; McCambell, third; Ehman, short; Karns, left; Bowman, center; Bonner, right; Nichols, catch. An admission of 25 cents will be charged.

PLAYER WINS CONTENTION. B. H. James Ioes Not Belong to El He no Club. Cincinnati. April 7. In decisions promulgated here the National Base ball commission reinstated L. A. Brockett, listed as ineligible by the New Vork American league club, and set aside the award by the -national board of Player B. H. James to tne El Reno, Okla., club, declaring valid his contract to play with Galveston, in the Texas league. James showed that the i.1 Keno club, was in arrears to him when he signed with Galveston and his conten tion that he by that fact became a free agent, was upheld by the com mission. The commission declared that the action of the national board in November in permitting El Reno to retain title to Its players on payment of back salaries was against baseoan law and served notice that this con clusion would be made a precedent for future crfses.

This plasmic property is frequently destroyed by impure accumulations in the blood, and this vital fluid not only loses its power to heal, but becomes a source of irri tation to any wound or open sore or ulcer on the flesh. The blood contin ually discharges the impurities into the place and gradually the infection spreads and the sore enlarges. External applications cannot cure an old sore, because such treatment does not affect the blood the most that can be expected from plasters, washes, salves, etc., is a cleansing, soothing effect on the ulcer. S. S. S. heals old sores in a perfectly natural way. It goes down into the blood, and removes the impurities and morbid matters that are the means of keeping the ulcer open; then the sore is bound to heal. S. S.

Whether or not several cases tried in the district court before te destruc tion of the stenographic records in the court House fire will have to be tried again probably will be determined in a large measure by a decision which Judge William Dill will hand down Saturday. The destruction of the evidence has been used as an argument for the mo tion for a new trial of the damage suit for $10,000 brought against the Mis souri Kansas Telephone company and the .Leavenworth Light, Heat Power company by Mrs. Humphrey I .macue. The transcribed evidence of all the cases tried in the district court for forty years was kept in the court re- porter's room. There was no vault I there or other protection from Are. The transcribed reports of the cases I were taken from the stenographer's notes of each trial. Both shorthand notes and the typewritten reports were lost in the fire. In the damage suit of Mrs. Eiddle versus the Missouri Kansas Tele phone company and the Leavenworth Light, Heat and Power company. Mrt. Biddle sued for $5,000 from each of the defendants because of the death ,of her husband. He was killed while working as lineman for the telephone company, nearly two years ago. The jury gave her the entire amount. Another case which may be retried is the case of Anton Ozorkiewicz against the Carr Mining and Manufac turing company. Ozorkirwicz sued for $10,000 because of Injuries received while working in the Carr mine. He was awarded a judgment for $5,000. Frank Fitzwilliams and Stewart Brew ster were his attorneys.

The opening week of the spring term of the Western State Normal school witnesses a phe nomenally large increase in the en rollment as compared with the same week a year ago. The normal depart ment alone shows an increase of an even 20 per cent. Very nearly 48 per cent of the students in the normal department are enrolled in classes in agriculture while in the entire list of vocational subjects, manual training, domestic economy and agriculture, the unprecedented proportion of 78 per cent of the whole are taking work. The Western State Normal school is strictly a teachers' training school and while the State Agricultural college finds it difficult to interest its students and graduates in the teaching field practically the entire student body of the Western State Normal school will enter the teaching ranks. The wisdom of the last legislature in appropriating $40,000 for the establishment of an ag ricultural high school as a part of the means to prepare teachers in this young and thriving western normal school is demonstrated by the foregoing figures. EGGS FOR PRINCIPAL.. Head of Leavenworth High School Also Struck With Lemons. Leavenworth, Kan., April 7. A vol ley of stale eggs and lemons, thrown by several high school boys, greeted A. H. Mabley, principal, when he left the building and started down Chest nut street to the car line after the en tertainment at the high school shortly after 9 o'clock last night. The demonstration is said to be a climax of ill feeling which a number of pupils in the high school have to ward the principal. It first was evi dent following the disbanding of the high school literary societies by Ma- j bley early in the fall. I In a conversation carried on through a window by Mrs. Mabley and a re porter, Mr. Mabley said that he was uninjured by trie missiles. The re porter asked the questions of Mrs. Ma bley, who, in, turn, put them to he"r husband, who was in bed, and" con veyed his answers1 to the reporter. "Who were the boys who threw at Mr. Mabley?" "Mr. Mabley doesn't want to say who they are," Mrs. Mabley said. "Do you know why it was done?" "He does not care to say anything more about it. LM.

An annual Arbor day cross-country run has been instituted by Washburn college and the Topeka high school. The first race is being run this afternoon over a five mile course. Nearly a score of runners are entered in the race. This event each spring just preceding the track season is calculated to give the coaches a good line on their dis tance men for the track meets. In future runs a loving cup will be put up as a prize but owing to the sudden de cision on such an event lesser prizes will suffice today. lefroeo ife Insurance da OF NEW YORK JOHN R. HEGEMAN, President Insurance Superintendent's Report The New York Insurance Department has had the Company under examination, pursuant to law, for about fifteen months. After this examination the Superintendent of Insurance said: THOROUGHNESS. "It is thought that no Company of this character under the supervision of any Insurance Depart ment in the United States has ever been so thoroughly examined by such a Department" PAYMENT OF CLAIMS "The claims received aver aged from 600 to 800 each working day; the percentage of rejections is small, being in 1909 less than one-half of one per cent." CAREFUL INVESTMENTS. "On an investment of $100,000,000 in real estate mortgages this Company now holds through foreclosure but one piece of realty.' INDUSTRIAL POLICIES AT COST. "On this basis this Company, from all of its departments, added to its surplus in 1909, after setting aside in that year as a liability its dividends and bonuses for 1910, about $800,000; in other words, the volume of its business being considered, seems to have furnished insurance substantially at cost." PROGRESSIVE MANAGEMENT. The Department Report shows during the last five years: Reduction in the ratio of expense to premium income 7.13 Reduction in the ratio of lapse to issue 1036 Reduction of cancellations in first year of insurance. 8.92 Ordinary Department In 1910 the Company wrote a larger amount of Ordinary business in the United States and Canada than any other company, by TWENTY MILLIONS! In 19 lO the Company placed Ordinary Insurance up to the Limit of the Law and was obliged to hold back hundreds of thousands of dollars of insurance by reason of the New York statute limiting amount in any one year. MORAL: Get in early this year and avoid the rush at the end. Best plans; cheapest rates; all policies non-participating that is, the money is not collected on promise of repayment in dividends, but is left in the pockets of the insured by reduction of premium. Industrial Department OLD POLICIES. A bonus has been declared to Industrial policy-holders amounting to nearly SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS payable in 1911 on Whole Life and Increasing Life and Endowment policies issued prior to 1907, which bonuses give reduction of premiums varying, according to period of per sistence, from EIGHT TO ONE HUNDRED PER CENT. The Company added not one dollar to surplus at the end of 1910 out of income from Industrial policies. NEW POLICIES. The benefits on policies issued since January 1, 1907, are over TWENTY PER CENT. GREATER than the benefits promised by policies issued previously. In the last eighteen years it has declared TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in voluntary bonuses over and above all requirements of policies. Welfare Work for Policy-holders Extracts from the Report of the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York. "No summary of this examination of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company would be complete which omitted reference to certain agencies for social service which it has inaugurated and is now conducting." "CAMPAIGN AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS Among the activities of this Company begun since the Armstrong investigation is its participation in the nation-wide crusade against tuberculosis. As to policy-holders, its work has thus far been confined to the dissemination of the literature of prevention and instruction; a work which its great Agency force and close contact with the industrial classes makes easy, as well as effective. As a matter of mere business economics, the Company's activities in this direction entitle it to the approval of the Department." "NURSING SYSTEM. About two years ago this Company inaugurated a system whereby trained nurses would, upon request, be sent to the homes of sick or bedridden policy-holders in its Industrial Department. While this service has been but recently established, and while, therefore, the examiners are in some doubt as to its ultimate effectiveness either from the standpoint of saving the lives of policy-holders or minimizing unhealthy condi tions, no one can make a personal investigation into what has already been done without being profoundly impressed with, not only the economic, but, more, the beneficent value of the work. Numerous cases where lives have been saved are already on record. Many instances showing improve--ment in home conditions due to the visits of the nurses are known." Largest Company in the World The largest amount of insurance in force of any Company in the world $2,215,851,388, covering 1 1,288,054 policies. In 1910 the Company made the largest gain in insurance in force of any Company in the world. Paid to Policy-holders and Held for Their Assets Liabilities, Mulvane Building $313,988,334.00 285,246,250.36 Security, MR. C. C. DYER, Supt. 533 Kansas Ave. $605,394,613 Topeka, Kansas permit the holding of an open air dance in celebration of the completion of the first half mile of street paving and this incident cut considerable figure in the campaign.

Wellington. Kan.. April 7. Amos A. Belsley, newly elected mayor of this city, announces that he will give a public barbecue in compliment to his supporters in the recent election. Last summer Mayor Newbold, whom Belsley defeated for a- second term, refused to Corn, Baking and Sewing Contestants Will Receive Cash as Prizes. Dover, Kan., April 7. At a recent meeting of Dover grange, No. 1486, P. of H., it was voted to hold the sec ond annual fair on Thursday. Friday and Saturday, September 28. 29 and 30. Some committees were appointed and they will begin work at once to prepare premium lists and make other necessary arrangements. It was voted that George W. Cook should have charge of the horse department and John R. Tomson the cattle department. A premium of $5 will be offered for the best ten ears of corn placed on ex hibition, raised by any boy under 18 years of age, and a premium of $2.50 for the best apron made by a girl un der 18 years of age, and $2.50 for the best loaf of bread baked by a girl un der 18 years of age. These people expect to have the best fair ever held in this part of Kansas, outside of the regular county fairs. GAME BREAKS GIRL'S ARM. "Crack the Whip" Renlts in Hard Arm Breaking in Family. Salina. Kan.. April 7. Miss Opal Todd, aged 11 years, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. S.

The State Journal la a member of the 'Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great newa or ratilzation for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The newa la received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur froae. Advocates of International peace Should not forg-et, says the Chicago News, that the chief amusement of .many statesmen Is preparing for war. That cloudburst which did a million dollars' worth of damage in Kentucky the other day would have been some thing of a blessing if it had only drowned out the night-riders. The mills of the gods may grind lowly, but one Callahan, who helped to make Wichita infamous for a spell, Is now known as No. 7471 in the fed eral penitentiary at Leavenworth. Philosophy from ex-Senator Aldrich IBs reported by the Baltimore Ameri can. "Fishing beats politics all hol low. The man who stays r. long time In politics is sure to catch something, but. it isn't always something good." Higher education Seems to be pro gressing favorably at the state uni versity. The freshmen, who refuse to wear dinky, little skull caps as ordered fcy the upper classmen, are being pub licly paddled by the latter. Havlngbeen selected as the place from which will be started the next International balloon race. Kansas City, Mo., will have an excellent op portunity to get rid of some of the surplus of "hot air" of which she is possessed. A case of making hay while the rain pours. An applicant for a" di vorce at Reno Intends to devote her necessary period of residence In that city to the study of sociology and mod ern languages at the Nevada state uni versity. Had it been Hobson's choice that treaty between Japan and the United 6tates, which was formally signed the other day and which will make for friendlier feelings between the two countries, would have been a declar ation of war. This Is a great era in politics for the "Buffalo" boys. "Buffalo" Bill is a candidate for the United States senate from Arizona. "Buffalo" Jones Is a candidate 'or the same J"b from New Mexico. And "Buffalo" Bone has Just been re-elected to a city commlssloner Ehlp In Topeka. It beats all how the Gould family runs to alliances with anything and everything that savors of nobility. Jay Gould, the eldest son of George J. jGould, will be married in the near fu ture to Miss Annie Douglas Graham, in iwhose blood flows the strain of kings. Her mother was a princess in the erst iwhile royal family of Hawaii. Some one scattered sneeze powders Jn the New York Metropolitan opera Louse the other night and the "400" of that town put on a sneeze-fest iwhtch rivaled the grand opera In prog ress for strange sounds. And there ere not a few people, too, who would juet as soon listen to a chorus of femcezers as a grand opera production. Not so many days ago It was re ported that dust storms had practi cally ruined most of the prospective Hvheat crop In all of the western coun ties In the elate. More recent and authoritative reports are to the effect that tha wheat prospects are anything like poor In only two counties In the state. Thus, is that beast the "crop killer" nailed again. Dave Leahy, the governor's versatile private secretary, has been Informed that his family name Is a Gaelio word that means "fierce warrior." Who is there now to rise and say that there Is nothing In a name? Dave is also one eff those warriors who believes that the pen Is mightier than the sword. At least, that Is the weapon he seems to use the handiest. Those prominent citizens of Illinois who are testifying that a $100,000 slush fund was put up by interested parties for the election of Lorimer to the United States senate must be dreaming. Hasn't the senate of the United States "declared that the Lori mer election was free from taint? But. then, the United States senate has ever been noted for doing unusual and remarkable things. When the Democrats In the last con gress saw an opportunity to put, the Kepublican majority n the hole they worked with the Republican insur gents In changing the rules of the bouse. But the other day," When the Democrats, now in the majority, de cided to change the rules again, they did it to suit themselves. Suggestions from the Republican insurgents In the premises were greeted with nothing but merry laughter by their former allies In rules making. A CORRECTION", IF YOU PLEASE. A misstatement of facts with er roneous conclusions based thereon which do a grave injustice to the wo men of Topeka and the cause of wom an's suffrage, appeared as follows in last week's issue of the Llndsborg News: "How can you account for this? At the primary held In Topeka last Mon day to nominate candidates for mayor, the majority of the women who voted cast their ballots for J. B. Billard, the 'wet' candidate. The race now lies be tween Billard and Tom McNeal. Bil lard is the present Incumbent and was elected for his first term as a wet' candidate. Tom McNeal 'is avowedly dry.' If the ladles of Topeka want the suffrage amendment to carry in Kan sas this fall they better get busy and rectify their mistake and bend every effort to elect the dry candidate at their coming city election. If they do not the argument that woman suf frage will purify the moral conditions of cities will fall by the wavslde." Nothing like a majority of the wo men of Topeka voted for Mayor Bil lard either at the primary or on elec tion day. It was Just the other way. At the primary Mr. McNeal received 3.100 female votes while Mr. Billard received only 1,800 female votes. At the election a week later the vote of the women for McNeal totaled 3,900 votes while the female vote for Billard was only 2,100. In other words the vote given by the women to Mr. McNeal and to Mr. Billard at the primary and on election day was in about the same ratio of almost 2 to 1 In favor of Mc Neal. And another thing, the "wet" and "dry" issues did not figure exclusive ly or as largely in the ..Topeka mayor alty campaign as many people and newspaper editors outside of Topeka have seemed to think. Many of the staunchest temperance advocates and prohibitionists in the city, women as well as men. supported Mr. Billard because they believed he had been an efficient mayor and had. given the city a good enforcement of the prohibitory J law, despite his personal views in op position to the principles of prohibl-1 tion. For these reasons -they believed, he could be trusted to give the same sort of an administration of civic af fairs in the future and that he was therefore entitled to a second term. A CITY'S SONGS. "If Rochester seems to have been receiving more than its share of pub licity in recent months, the reason," says Charles Mulford Robinson in the Survey, "is found in the evidences of civic spirit and progressiveness which that city has been offering. "A novel and striking illustration of this is the publication of a Rochester Song Book.' In a foreword the Editors state the belief that this is the' 'first considerable attempt of its kind for any American city. Of the songs, which fill 175 pages, many of course have been published before and are familiar in Rochester. Others were written especially for the Song Book, They are assembled under the head ings Songs of the Genesee, Songs of Rochester, Patriotic and Fraternal Songs and School and College Songs. A professor of the university, Ken drick P. Shedd, is editor-in-chief with a representative board of associates. "In Rochester, where the public schools are used evenings by immense civic or neighborhood clubs, there Is perhaps a greater demand for this sort of book than in other cities of like size. The songs vary a good deal in musical and literary quality, but there can be no doubt that the compilation is calculated to increase local pride and affectation for the city. No one, for instance, can read the words of the Songs of the Genesee without be ing impressed by the part which Ro chester's river plays in the lives with out significance that these songs praise not the majesty or waterpower of the river, but its tranquil beauty and its attractiveness for canoeing." Madero Family Divided. A house divided against itself is the Madero family of Mexico. Francisco L., leader of the insurrectos, has brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins, and nondescript name-relatives sufficient to wipe out the governmental army of 25,000. could he unite them for his cause. The fact that he cannot is one of the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the Insurrec tion so far. There is no limit to the devotion of Francisco's brother Gustavo A. But in Mexico the rebel general has a father, Francisco, Sr.; a grandfather, Evaristo. and other relatives, near and far, who do not particularly relish his attempts to gain for them and the un-Maderist half of the population a government purporting to represent all instead of one man. Three of his eight brothers are with him to the bitter or pleasant end. Raul is in the field with him. and Alfonso is in San Antonio looking out for the interests of the revolutionists on the border. The Madero family Is prominent be cause of Its high standing and wealth, o wining euormous tracts of land. Eva risto, the grand father, has a large family, and all his sons received a col lege education In the United States and Europe, just as have those of Francis co. Sr. The interests of the Maderos are principally agricultural, but they are also heavy owners of lead and silver mining properties. In the smelting In dustry they control the large Torreon smelters. They are also engaged In banking. Ernesto Madero. an uncle of the insurrectionist leaders, being the president of the Banco de Nuevo Leon In Monterey. For some years past the lamiiy nas taken a prominent nart in the development of Mexican rubber from the guavule plant. The Madero hacienda a large property embracing a numoer oi rancnes in tne northern part of the state of Coahulla. consti- tues in many respects a remarkable institution. It embraces an area about to miles wide and 200 miles long. This property is devoted largely to grazing, and on it vast herds of cattle are raised. The stock consists chiefly of horned cattle and sheep. Certain members of the family are large wheat growers. The Maderos have extensive vineyards; in fact, the largest in mexico. xney nave in the town of Parras, not far from the line of the Mexican International railway, which is now a part of the National railways system of Mexico, flour, wine, and cotton factories. A highly mod ernized flour mill converts the wheat they raise into flour for export and domestic purposes. For making wine and liquors of their grapes they have an enormous establishment. 'Their cot ton mill the Maderos also own large cotton plantations la also a modern affair, where prints are made on a large scale, as well as the raw cotton being prepared, spun, and woven. The .power for these three manufacturing establishments was obtained by driving a number of tunnels under the moun tains near Parras. -This water power system is a costly work, showing great engineering skill Far from being the traditional rag" tag revolutionists, the Madero family is thus seen to be large and wealthy. For all that, they have no voice in the government of Mexico, they say. New York Evening Bun. JOURNAL ENTRIES More mistakes could be rectified if the proper efforts were made. Not a few people are good because they have had no opportunity to be otherwise. If most folk could live their lives over .again they'd be likely to make a worse mess of it. It's a poor Joke, indeed, that won't scare up something of a laugh so many people laugh without any cause. e No one has the slightest difficulty ignoring the flaws in himself that he has no trouble finding in others. JAYHAWKER JOTS Verd Napier has the notion that the recording angel will get most of his evidence from your day book rather than from the Sunday school report. In ten years the number of automo biles has increased from 35,000 to 400,000, remarks the Hutchinson News and it adds: "Accompanying increases are noted in chattel mortgages, profanity and gasoline." The Kansas City, Kan.. Gazette-Globe is wondering if more women would be more than disappointed if it rained on Easter Sabbath. It thinks that those who will not have new hats will at least welcome. a shower. As tha Dickinson County News ob serves: Notwithstanding the report that all telegraph connections are out in Mexico, most of the American news papers are-able to print a complete story of the battles the day before they happen. An authority advises, says the Minne apolis Messenger, against smoking be fore meals because it riders the buccal bucosa insensitive to alimentary stimu lation and neutralizes the olfacto-gas-tatory reflex. Besides, a cigar tastes better after dinner. What a cruel-hearted chap Is this r.alph Faxon, the editor of the Garden City Telegram. Listen to this which he inserted In a recent issue of his paper: "Dave Leahy, confirming the report that he will run for state senator next year, says If he can't beat Stewart be will 'Jump into the river.'

It takes a shaving brush too long to wear out after it begins to shed. A fat man can't look like a villain, but he can feel about as mean as any one. A man can know all about the lead ing brands of booze without knowing very much. The fact that your kin are school teachers isn't positive evidence of your superior wisdom. No girl should begin to buy or bor row hair until she is old enough to be her own boss. And there are men who don't go ahead very fast, even after they are sure they are right. You are a sure enough good fellow if you can enthuse when there isn't anything in it for you. Who started the cry that country cured ham is so much superior to the packing house product? What has become of the old-fashioned mother who worried a good deal for fear gypsies would kidnap her children? Regardless of the regulations of the pure food law, one continues to get about the usual amount of strawber ries for a quarter. Elver know a man who bought his cigars by the mail order method, de spite the numerous opportunities of fered in that line? There are various kinds of extrava gance, but the man who squanders his money on a lawsuit seems to get the least fun out of it. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Peace hath her victories after we fight for them. A woman can act natural if she had no object in view. There are no medals on the man who poses as his own hero. Silence may be golden, but silver will often close a man's mouth. By re-leasing a piece of property a man takes a fresh grip on it It's cheaper to be good than it is to hire a lawyer to keep you out of Jail. Gossips are never satisfied unless they can put two and two together and make five. Sometimes an old bachelor gets tired of one continued round of pleas ure, so he gets married. Often people lead a man to believe that they admire him, when, as a matter of fact, they are only trying to work: him. KANSAS COMMENT IS IT GAMBLING The law against gambling in this state Is very severe and It provides penalties for about everything that men indulge in in the way of games of Chance from Dlavin Tinker tn prahhin f in. a grab bag at a ehurch social. But now tne law is threatening the women. Last week there was a meeting of county attorneys at Topeka and they discussed long and seriously the ques tion: "Are the women gambling when they sit down at a card tablo and play bridge' whist, 'five hundred' or some other game for a prize to be awarded by the hostess?" The county attorneys had been dis cussing horse racing, betting and other Infractions of the law when one mem ber rose In his seat in the rear of the hall and put the question stated above. Assistant Attorney General S. N. Haw kins had. the floor and was submitting to questions on all sorts of leeal sub jects. I would say that it is not gamb ling," he said, right off the bat. "If that isn't gambling," put in Coun ty Attorney K. M. Geddes, of Butler county, "is it gambling for men to play cards for money?" "It is," said Mr. Hawkins. "Why?" "Because the woman who play at the kind of party. mentioned lias no chance to lose," was the reply. "Well," continued the Butler county man, "supposing a dozen men get to gether and play once a week, a differ ent man putting up a ten-dollar-bill each week, and the crowd playing for it. That is the same principle involved in the woman's card party. -Wouldn't that be gambling?'-; Then some gallan or discreet county attorney thought It best to change the subject and the matter wasn't settled. But suppose the question should be brought up In the courts.- In that case neither gallantry nor discretion would avail and it would have to be pushed to the end. It is sad. indeed to con template what that end might be. There is no telling how a Jury or a Judge might look at it. It might be decided that ft is- gambling. Leaven worth Times.

FROM OTHER PENS KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM. And now the blame is laid on the city girl who goes Into the country so teach school. There is something so bright and dainty about her that the hearts of the older boys get all splin tered np by the glint of -her eyes and the musie of her-voice.- Under her witcherythose boys lose all interest in cattle and corn, and aspire to go to the city to clerk and sell lace, and be where the glittering maidens are. This is the hint of a Chicago banker at a meeting last week to encourage the farm boys to stick to the farm. The hint should be given to the city girl herself, who could let it be under stood that she liked the farm and the farm boys, and she intended some day to settle down and be a farmer's wife, and milk the cow and tie the calf, and scoop up the hens' eggs and hew the country sausage, and feed the holly hocks, and do all those charming things that change the cheeks to roses and the voice to music. If this is attended to in the right way, the city girl will keep the boys on the farm, and save a large portion of the nation's glory. The country girls could do all this but there is the trouble, they seek the city, too. Ohio State Journal. WHITE IS FOR SIMPLICITY. Chief Justice White is a believer in old fashioned Jeffersoman simplicity, and he has directed that when the Judges of the highest tribunal in the land are announced as they file into the supreme court chamber in Wash ington it shall be as follows: "The supreme court of the United States." Formerly the salutation was: "The honorable, the chief Justice and the associate Justices of the supreme court of the United States." This mode of announcing obviously could stand edit ing, and Chief Justice White has used the blue pencil to advantage. In many state courts the entrance of those who sit on the bench is an nounced in this laconic fashion: "Court." It may be a superior court, a supreme court, or an appellate court, the salutation is the same. With the highest court in the land. It cer tainly is more dignified to designate the exact title. Chief Justice White and his associates will enjoy the respect of the country under the abbreviated title. It is a small but somewhat sig nificant sidelight on the character of Mr. White.

True to their reputation for grap pling with great problems of sociology and domestic life, Boston women have set up a code of requirements for the man who may be denominated the ideal husband. Some of the elements set forth In the Boston definition are: To be classed as an ideal husband, a man must "turn over to his wife 90 per cent of his income, eschew liquor and to bacco, stay at home nighu? and care fully guard' the hearthstone without imposing any restrictions on his wife." It may be taken for granted that the women who have agreed on this line of thought will appoint an in quiry committee to hunt up a speci men of the sort of man required. He should be placed on exhibition as a model for others.. But, where willh.e be found? Chicago Journal. OVER THE AS1TTATP cnt. O, sail with me o'er the asphalt sea.

(By Helen Welborn Stedman.) Old gentleman Stuffing looked pros perous mentally, physically and sarto rially. Madam Stuffins reflected the prosperous light that shone from her corpulent mate. Adjectives slightly modified In the negative quantity might be used in describing their one offspring, Maria Stuffins. known as Marie, with a few adjectives of quality, added to denote fluffy lightness of hair. pinky whiteness and eyes almost too blue. Lovers there were none. In vain they camped in a palatial home in their own town or staved in fashion able hotels of the three border states. In New York or San Francisco. New Orleans or Chicago it was the same. In vain they were whisked by six-cylinder, noiseless motors from watering place to watering place. .1,. fact, the Stufflnses seemed to be on a tour to prove American man wants more than money when taking a bride. And Father Stuffins, mentally aud orally to his spouse determined that only America could turn the trio into a quartet. The room was well but plainly fur nished after the fashion of hotels. It had been a whim of this prosperous two to have one room as they found it, and It was there they spent many hap py hours together talking over checks to be sent to charities and little helps here and there among acquaintances of days when they, too, struggled for bread. Thus they sat one bright April morn ing,: she clad in a neat white wrapper and he is a comfortable lounging suit. smoking. "I sometimes wonder why Marie Is without admirers and lovers, Jake. She Is so good and kind, and proficient in so many ways, and not a homely girl. "She has not the gift of gab and en trancing shift of glances which seem to. please mankind, both young and old." "Marie looks like me," said the wife, glancing into the mirror. "That's a fact well known, Jane." "Why did you love me?".. she asked, rather dreamily. The great man smiled as he rose and looked out of the window, mus ingly. "Jennie, he said, a twinkle in his eye. "I was acquainted with you ten years before I knew you. Then I was suddenly- introduced. You remember the ride you took one da:k, cold night to warn Jonesville of intended burg lary? You had heard a scrap of con versation between three suspicious Chaps in a railroad station, and thought it meant robbery, and think ing, acted." He stopped-. Mrs. Jacob Stuffins stood still in the center of the room, a slow, reminiscent light passing over the too full face and into the slightly faded eyes." "Jennie." he .continued, and Hi. hus band moved Involuntarily toward her, "when I heard of that foaming horse and plucky girl who saved the bank of uonesyme i mougnt ror the first time of you. Then came the reception given by the bankers' wives. You were a lit tle beyond the model thirty-six. You wore pale blue with White, soft fluffy lace, and your eyes shone.

A sound floated through the pines that was not a sigh of the t- es, which, as she galloped on, reached her ears in louder and louder and louder strains. It was a cry, a scream of anguish.

And she gave a loud clap of her hands which shut mouths and lachrymal glands instan taneously. "Now to work."

She shuah wants the doctah, the ole doctor, to come in auto; me too, and you all be quick!" The old doctor standing in the door of the hot, stuffy, ill-smelling cabin, took in the situation at a glance. The closed eyes of the form on the bed, the arm where blood had stopped its flow, the mammy weeping softly, the children huddled togethei, the groom standing helplessly at the foot of the bed, and the fair head of the girl bent over to catch the faint beat of the overworked heart. The young doctor following saw all this and more Two tours later they stood by the automobile. In the cabin all was quiet save the slow, regular breathing of the worn iorm on the bed. Outside the pickaninnies stood, their eyes shining with love and awe at the lady. The woodmen stood, hats off. Mammy had followed the lady down th little nath and stood looking up at the fair face mat had not a trace of color, only the halo of. a wealth of hair.- "Honey, youall shuah hi The lips trembled and the eyes filled with tears. The girl laid her hands on the wom an's shoulders. I am- glad I could help you, mam my. Mother will come this afternoon to bring you and the children all you need -until pap is well again. Good by now." The old doctor murmured some thing about nobleness, as his eyes were veiled by a suspicious moisture. The young doctor mentally regis tered, "By heaven,-what a girl! And you, Morris Barlow, have lived in the hotel with her a month1.' and., never knew." The lights blazed at Hotel "Beech- wood. The dance music filled not only the dancers, but those who listened with tingles and thrills. A stout ladv in velvet and diamonds and a very stout man in diamonds and black walked majestically across tne rotunda and down the steps to the Japanese garden. "Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Stuffins, many times millionaires," whispered a long stayer to a newcomer. They stopped among the palms at the railing to watch the dancers be low. One couple seemed to hold their attention, and as they stood watching tne light in their eyes deepened ana softened and glowed, and a great fat hand stole under the filmy scarf of the transfigured Mrs, Stuffins who, with a little smile slipped her hand, into the great palm. "Jennie." whispered the great man leaning over her, "Dr. Barlow loves Marie." The soft, tender eyes looked for a moment into those of her great lover's as she whispered softly: "And. Jacob. Marie- loves Dr. Bar low." (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Steel Trust Under Fire. The new rules committee, of which Henry of Texas, an anti-trust advocate. has been made chairman, will consider eany in tne extra session a resolution introduced in the last session by Rep resentative A. O. Stanley, of Kentucky, providing for an Investigation of the steel trust and its alleged commercial and financial affiliations. Stanley him. self Is a new member of the rules com mittee, and he will move for the report of his resolution, which the committee by a majority vote, will direct.-. The last investigation of the steel trust which amounted to anything was undertaken by Senator Tillman and former Senator William E. Chandler in 1896. That investigation in the senate was devoted to the one subject of ar mor plate, and resulted in a decrease In the cost of armor plate to the fed eral government from $650 a ton to MOO a ton. It Is estimated that $24, 000, 000 has been saved to the govern ment in the fifteen years Intervening as a direct result of that investigation. While Stanley, of Kentucky, will take tne lead in tne proposed investigation in the extra session, more potent in fluences and factors are behind the un dertaking. Charles M. Schwab, formerly presi dent of the steel trust and now presi dent of Andrew Carnegie's Bethlehem Steel company, which manufactures armor plate, has been In Washington seeking to ascertain if the Stanley res olution was likely to go through the house. The assurance can now ;be given on high authority that it will. and that reams of so-called damaging evidence against the steel trust has been prepared by unfriendly sources for presentation when the investigation begins. If there exists anywhere in the United States Independent steel-producing plants, the house investigators purpose to ascertain that fact, as wen as to show up those professed "inde pendents," which, it is alleged, are dominated completely by th? steel cor poration, such as the three big armor plate companies the Bethlehem Steel company. Carnegie Steel company, and the Mldvale Steel company. Al leged exorbitant prices charged for structural steel. Steel rails, nail and wire products, and the enormous profit alleged to accrue to the steel trust from all these sources also will be ven tilated. The house investiagting com mittee will be authorized to sit during the sessions of the house and in the recess before the regular session of congress next December, if necessary; to administer oaths to witresses, and to demand persons and papers. Coincident with this investigation. nine special investigating committees will be appointed by Speaker Champ Clark to probe each of the executive departments of the federal govern ment. Srjeaker Clark says he will try to get the .best men in the house to serve on these Investigating commit tees, as he believes the people want a careful accounting. Clark says he has a clean majority pledged to all the In vestigations, and he assumes. to have some startling information for the public. The probability is that presi dential politics and W. J. Bryan are behind this proposal. New York Press. A Senatorial Giant. An epoch is closing for the smallest state in the Union, Rhode Island's age of senatorial giants Is over. Nelson W.

A small state should be represented by its greatest men big men who are forces in their own time, and who will be re membered hereafter, and it is safe to say that the names we have mentioned will not be forgotten while Point Judith repulses the assaults of the At lantic and Prospect Hills looks down upon a city of homes.

Among other things he is taking me matier up witn oenauor crisiuw Washington in the hope that the de partment of tlie United States may be enlisted in his behalf. Seven years ago a brother of Karl Flitch, George C. Flitch, disappeared and since that time his relatives have ben unable to get hold of a clue that would lead to any knowledge of his lo cation or his condition. The last word fiat his relatives had from him was taat he was mining in. the state of fionora, in Mexico. Sonora is in the heart of the mining district -of Mexico nd is the home of the Yaqui Indians, who have given the Mexican govern ment trouble for years. Hundreds of foreigners have been killed in this dis trict but because it contains more min eral wealth than any other portion of the republic, there are still hundreds of others who will run the risk in order to make an attempt to secure a fortune. Mr. Flitch has made one trip to Mex ico trying to locate his brother, and his visit' to Salina was made to follow up another clue. Kdwin Parmenter, a son of E. C. Parmenter, of Salina, has been in Mexico, and Mr. Flitch had a talk w'th.him last night. As a result of this Interview he is inclined to believe that his- brother is in a Mexican prison at AgunK Calientas. In December of last year Edwin Parmenter was in that city and eav a man in Jail there whose description tallied so closely to that of the missing man that Mr. Flitch fears It may be his brother. Parrrenter had a talk with the man tn jail and from this talk and other Information he gained around the city, he is 'nclined to bfieve that the long confinement in prison has partially de stroyed the prisoner's reason. To Mr. l armmter he denied having any rela tives, but the description he gives is o cloe to that of George C. Flitch that his brother from Concordia feels certain that ie has a clue that is worth follow- 5nAOfording to the information which yotiig Parmenter gained in Mexico this Tjrismer who fits the description of the inlying George C. Flitch, was trans ferred from Aguas Calientas to Zaca teras on December 12. 1910. In Mexico t;ie common method of getting rid of Wisoners is to transfer them from one point to another. He is placed under ruard of a detachment of rurales and when they return they bring back the Information that the prisoner ho, trying to escape." This is another featurl of the case that worries Mr. Flitch, as he is afraid that even if he should be on the right track he w ,11 never be able to get any definite in formation. i BUILD MORE ROCK ROAD.

It took just one pretty girl, and not a militant suffrag ette, either, to check the tide of social ism at Gas City. She is Miss Myrtle Eastwood, assistant cashier of the Gas City bank and treasurer-elect of the town. Gas City is a factory town, and many of the workingmen there are socialists. Fearing that alone they would be un able to carry the town, the Republicans and Democrats of Gas City nominated a fusion ticket for the city election April 4. Miss Eastman was named for city treasurer, and she proved a "drawing card." She had cashed the checks for the smelter employees on many pay days and they liked her for the courteous treatment she had given them.

Judge Lectures Them for Not Obeying Court Injunction. Wichita, Kan., April 7. District Judge Wilson has held Mayor Charles Davison and the four local commis sioners in contempt of court and de clared unless the injunction of his court is obeyed by June he will send them all to jail. The contempt pro ceedings originated from the alleged negligence of the city officials to obey an injunction secured by Mrs. Martha Oourter January 6, preventing the alteration of a curb line in front of Mrs. Coulter's property. No action was taken by the city to remove the offending curb line, and the officials were called into court yesterday by Judge Wilson, who severely arraigned them, declaring that if It became necessary to punishm them he would make the penalty imprisonment in stead of fine.

G DODGE DIDN'T GO. Henry Miller, Pickpocket, Must Answer in Court. Had Been Turned Over to a Fake Officer. SET FREE IX CHICAGO. Special Effort Made to Prevent Return to Kansas. Officers of That City Interceded in Yain. i Harry Miller, professional pick pocket, was brought to Topeka Thurs day night from Chicago to answer a state charge in the Shawnee county district court, and developments In the case are causing all sorts of specula- tion at the court house. Not least among the theories is that Miller is a. member of a notorious gang of crooks who have been pledged immunity at the hands of the Chicago officials. It was in October that Miller was. arrested at the Santa Fe depot on a charge of attempting to pick the pockets of one F. A. Bliason. Two women saw Miller put his ha nil in Bllason's pocket Just as the latter was boarding an eastbound train. They screamed and a police officer caught Miller after a short chase. At the county jail the officers learn ed that Miller was a paroled prisoner from the Illinois reformatory, where he had been sent for a term of 1 years. It was after Miller waived his preliminary hearing and was bound over to the district court that things began to happen. One day a man appeared at the court house with al leged papers from the Illinois re formatory for Miller's return. The sheriff and county attorney consulted and finally agreed to turn the prisoner over to the Illinois authorities. j t Miller was taken to Chicago by the I supposed paroled officer. Here he j w as released and since the Topeka episode has never spent a day in the reformatory. When this fact was i learned by B. V. Wood, special Santa Fe agent, he began a tnorougn inves tigation of the matter. It was learned to Wood's satisfac tion and that of the Shawnee county officials that the man who took Miller to Chicago was an employee of "Bath house" John Coughlin, the Chicago alderman, and that Miller was also a member of a gang of clever crooks who had gained the protection of the rjolice. A requisition was then secured from the srovernor and the Shawnee county officials with the assistance of Wood made formal demands for Miller.- Ten days ago a Chicago police officer visit ed Topeka. He stated authoritatively that Miller was confined to his bed in Chicago and was expected to die at any hour from tuberculosis. The Chicago police department through this man recommended that the Kansas authori ties drop the case, as Miller would nev er be strong enough to be brought tc this state for trial. But the Kansas officials were begin ning to learn things. Wood made an other -trip to Chicagot H found whesej Miller stayed. A trip to the rooms found Miller In his bed. His clothes were scattered about the room. Then Wood went for an officer. When he re turned he mot Miller on the stairs. He was dressed and in apparently excellent health. The' Chicago police apologized and declared they had been deceived. Miller was brought to Topeka and ar rived here Thursday evening. The prisoner declares he does not know Hlnkey-Dink'" Kenna and "Bath-; house John" Coughlin, and that he is Just a downtrodden bit of humanity who has suffered unjustly. Miller's bond has been fixed at $1,000. He is now In the county jail awaiting his preliminary hearing, which will be held Saturday, April 15. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. S. W.

Prior to the holding of a big meeting at the Auditorium attended by hun dreds of members of the lodges of the city, and their friends, a parade com posed of nearly a thousand strong marched to the musio of Marshall's band. The cavalcade was headed by L, M. Fenwell, who acted as grand marshal. The. workmen, ia the parade .were, ar ranged in this order: Topeka lodge No. 11. Kaw Valley lodge No. 20. Capital lodge No. 3, carrying flam. beaux. Upchurch lodge No. 244, beaded by uniformed drill team, Shorey lodge No. 299. Irwin lodge No. 260. Judge J. G. Wood presided? oyer the meeting and the speakers were J. W Gray bill of Newton, Captain 3. G. Wa ters of Topeka. and Thomas Wagstaff, recent candidate for governor. "Our order holds the shield of pro tection over 25,000 homes in Kansas, but we are big enough and strong enough to furnish shield for 125,000 more homes in the state. "The world Is becoming kindlier to the human than it ever was before," said Captain J. G. Waters who follow ed him. "Its hide is becoming thin re n sitive to the touch of human broiuer hood. It is taking on a new religion and bidding goodby to Its miserable creeds. It is asserting with increasing voice that we must serve our fellows first, with a love for such service, be fore it will do a man any good to look for a God. When Christ said that we must serve our neighbors as ourselves and minister unto others instead of being ministered unto, he meant it as one of the full measures of our daily conduct. More than that these prin ciples were not directed to our neigh bors, but to ourselves. "There is not a fraternal order on the face of the globe that has been establshcd, regardless of how long it lived, but that if the funds were sacredly handled, has been an instru- moTit rf frnnA that lias iustifieri its liv ing. They are all built on the prmr dole of the brotherhood or mankina. All orders fashioned and purposed like the Ancient Order of United Workmen recognize this principle." "It is a splendid thing to be a Kan- san, said Thomas wagstan, -oecause of the splendid fraternal spirit that exists in, our state. We are working together for the benefit of man and I agree with Captain Waters who has said that the captains of industry are only the stewards of the wealth which they pretend to own. Some of them have realised the great responsibilities that rest upon their shoulders and have done great things for the people. However much they have done, they have not done as much for mankind as has the A. O. U. W. in the last thirty-five years since its organiza tion." HAXSON STILL ON DECK. Files Another Suit to Have Patient at Hospital Released. John Hanson, the Lindsborg attor ney, today filed mandamus proceedings in the district court against W, F. Sehoch, as probate judge, to compel him to liberate John Myers from the state asylum on his own bond. When Hanson's insanity cases were tried in the probate court. Judge Schoch refused to grant a Jury in the cases, except four practicing physi cians. Hanson objected strenuously to this position. Then when the court or dered that the complainants should be remanded to the asylum, Hanson an nounced an appeal in each case. The bonds were fixed at $200. Hanson said this was perfectly satisfactory and -offered the complainants as surety, aU though they held no property rights, The court refused the offer. In order to test the law, Hanson filed-' mandamus proceedings under a special section or the statute, which he de clares governs the issue. The case will ba tried this afternoon in the second division of the district court. Should Hanson win. he will be able to secure the release of all of his clients on their own bonds, Which' from a 'finan cial standpoint are admitted to be worthless. Further than this Hanson says ha will file a number of new ac tions to release inmates of the asylum. Ha has already succeeded in marring the celebration of "fashion week"- by the clerks in the probate court and his new actions will keep that- tribunal busy until sometime next summer.

The little city of Oakland is ever showered with compliments as to its beauty. A recent visitor, who has not been here during the past four years, paid a tribute to Oakland when he made the following remark: "I think Oakland is the finest spot In the coun try to purchase a home and locate. I always was an admirer of the smaller cities of the tropical states, but I think from what I have seen. Oakland out shines them all." The present condi tion of Oakland is certainly commend able. Never in history was real estate and business interests thriving like now. If the present growth is contin ued, Oakland will be twice its present size within the next three years. It is happiness to know that former resi dents, upon their return to Oakland, ran compliment our city as did the former; that "Oakland Our Home," tlae slogan. Is being carried out to its fullest extent. f Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Slayter were t filled to Arkansas City Wednesday by the serious illness of his father, Geo. p. Slayter, a former resident of Oak land.

Agua Prieta, Mexico, April 7. (Via Douglas, Ariz.) All the officials of Arizpe have left that city and fled to Cananea, according to a report re ceived here last night. Arizpe is prob ably now in the hands of the rebels un der Juan Cabral. The 500 federal vol unteers at Arizpe are not accounted for in the report. It has been reported, however, that there has been fighting in the vicinity of Arizpe during the last two days. Arizpe is the capital of the Arispe district. Insurrectos have also entered tha camp of Las Chispas, in the Arizpe dis trict, which is owned by Swiss. It is one of the richest camps in Sonora, and sends its gold bullion on burros over land to Nogales. Roosevelt's Off Day. Seattle, April 7. Theodore- Koose velt departed for Spokane earlv this morning over the Northern Pacific. Mr. Roosevelt said that he would do little talking today. El Paso, Tex., April 7. Eighty-three wounded and a number of prisoners taken by the federals at Casas Grandes were brought into Juarez today. The wounded lay prone in box cars but were well cared for by the escort, which numbered about 200. With the latter were two field pieces and two rapid fire guns. General Eguia Lis, recently ordered to proceed with his force from Casas Grandes to Chihuahua, is reported to have left for the latter place. Twenty-five "soldadas," or women camp followers, who had become sepa rated from their husbands in the fed eral ranks, arrived at Juarez tocray. They walked from Chihuahua, 150 miles away, pushing a hand car that bore their meager belongings. Where bridges were out they forded the streams, car rying the hand car. United States customs guards report a force of 400 insurrectos at San Ignacio, opposite Fort Hancock, east of EI Paso. The appearance of this force, which, it is believed, is awaiting rein forcements, has revived fears of an at tack on Juarez. Dispatches from Culiacan, the capital of Hinaloa, declare that two engags ments have taken place near Mojo'o arid that a number of wounded federals have been brought to Culiacan in ox carts. Couriers from Agua Jlto, near Mojolo, brought in reports of an engagement In which it was said 40 insurrectos were killed by the federal artillery. Only 150 troops are left to garrison Culiacan and Governor Redo has been directed to maintain a defensive attitude. TOPEKA POPULATION. Ward Figures ne'G4ven Out In WasU ington. Washington, April 7.

Three barns and one busi ness house were set fire this time. One barn was destroyed completely. Another was practically ruined. The tnira jost the roof and the business house was charred. The first evidence of the work of the firebug was. witnessed by firemen from headquarters' station at 1:36 this morn ing. One of the men noticed the flames from the north windows of the sleeping rooms. This fire was at 324 Quincy street in a barn owned by Henry Mar tin. When the fire companies arrived the barn was in flames from top to bottom and nothing could be saved. A mule and other property in the barn were burned. Before the downtown companies had pulled from the stations another alarm came in from 300 East Fourth street. Here a business house owned by W. G. Frazeur was burning. Companies were divided and additional companies Called out. Firemen got to this fire quick enough to save the building. While the companies were working on these two fires the third alarm came to the stations. Outlying companies were called and it was found that a barn at 316. Monroe was burning. Quick work on the part of the men saved the shell of this barn. It was owned by Josie Manter, night cashier at the Cremerie restaurant. When the three fires had been ex tinguished and the firemen were pre paring to crawl into bed the fourth alarm sounded. This time a fire in a barn at 518 Madison street. A quick run to this building saved everything but the roof. It was owned by J. H. Smart. No clues as to the cause of these in cendiary fires- can be found. This is the second time in the last month that barns in the city on the east side have been burned. GREAT WHITE WAY. Good Progress. Reported on .Avenue Illumination.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRHAE FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 7,1911. KEPT INCHAINS. Mulligan McN'nlty, Most Danger ous Man in Kansas. Justifies His Acts of Violence by Necessity. IN PRISON 3Q YEARS. Tells Court That He Was Al ways Unjustly Accused. Cut Deputy Warden's Throat Be cause He Feared for Life. When Judge Sehoch, of the probate court, returned Mulligan McNulty to the state asylum Thursday evening, it virtually meant that McNulty had breathed his last air of freedom and that the man will wear the chains and hackles until the day of his death. It was to obtain McNulty's release from the asylum, if possible, that the hearing was held in the probate court. ilcNulty's criminal record has placed him in the category of the asylum's homicidal paranoia patients. But on the witness stand McNulty underwent an examination to which few persons in probate court have ever been sub jected. Never once did McNulty hesi tate. He was never confused. Not once could he be induced to contradict a statement. For more than an hour he told his side of his criminal record. ."When V. W. Stan!, county attorney of Rice county, cross-examined Mc Nulty, the man met Stahl's questions in the same mariner in which they were ent. From under the heavy brown eyelashes he glared at the lawyer and declared that he held the enmity of no man in Rice county. The prisoner's ability to recall names, dates and incidents was almost remark able in comparison with the ordinary prson on trial for his sanity. McNulty went back 30 years when he served his first prison term. Gradually he brought that record down to date. Not once, in the four times he was sent to the penitentiary, did McNulty admit that he was guilty of an overt act. Not tear came to his face, as he told of the murder of a fellow prisoner at the Oteno county jail. His expression nev er rhanged as he told the court of incidents surrounding the attack on Deputy Warden Thompson, when he all tout added that man's life to his list of homicides. Sitting in tlv witness chair, McNulty frequently smiled as his attorney, John Hanson, questioned him concerning his nanity. Sometimes McNulty would rat tle the chains as he portrayed some event in hia past life. His feet played a, pit-a-pat on the velvet carpet; but otherwise McNulty was calm and pos sessed. The man is six feet tall, weighs 200 pounds and is of muscular build. With McNulty'3 past record handy, there was little question in the minds of the court loafers as to why the asy lum officials prefer to keep the prisoner in restraint. McNulty smiled when asked if he was a paranoic. Then he was asked regarding his disposition and declared that he was at peace with all the world. After this McNulty told of be ing sent to prison for grand larceny, how the deathbed confession of the real culprit later- secured his release. Then he told of a sentence ror horse stealing. He declared he was engaged to sell the horse for a person and when he had closed the deal, he couldn't rind the right party, but ran "smack dab into the sheriff." Ho denied any guilt in this offense. Not Sorry He Killed. It was when the second sentence terminated that McNulty was rearrest ed. While in the Reno county Jail, he killed a fellow prisoner. But McNulty Told Judge Schoch he was perfectly Justified. "See that scar there,'' asked McNulty, as he turned and faced the court, plac ing his hand to his forehead where a Jong ugly scar was visible, "well that's what I got from that fellow. He lammed me one there with a board and I just touched him up a bit with a knife." After a statement of the murder, Mc Nulty told of a term in the peniten tiary for stealing horse blankets, which had been blown away by the wind and were found after he received his sen -We Make SUITS That Fit $iT """"'J """v. We Are The Largest and Best $15 House In The World "With our system of $15 tailoring; wo have no compction, as our garments are made with better linings, and the workmanship is first class .just the same as other tailors are forced to charge you $35. Go to any store in Topeka and get samples of $35 Suits and we can duplicate them for $15. FIT GUARANTEED. 729 Kansas Avenue Jas. Miller, Cutter tence. The man declared that this brand of fortune had pursued him through life, but that his intentions had always been the best. Then McNulty reached the attack on Deputy warden Thompson. He deciar ed that he was justified in his actions and that prison ofllcials naa poisoned the only man who could give evidence in his behalf. "I had a racket with Thompson some time before this happened." said Mc Nulty, "and he put me down in the mines. I was sick and was suffering from inflammatory rheumatism. But this didn't help any. Each day they put me back. Ore day a man came to me and gave me a knife. He told mo to use it if necessary that Thompson meant to kill me. The man who gave me the knife was the same fellow who furnished Ben Cravens with a gun to force his way out of the penitentiary. "Well, one morning as we walked from the breakfast table, I saw Thomp son make for me. He had a heavy cluo in his hand. I knew he meant to kill me. I told him to stand back or he would get hurt. But he kept right un coming. As he reached me, I pulled out the knife and cut his throat. No, I didn't believe he intended to hurt me. I Ju?t knew that he intended to murder me. That was all. "Why. Thompson went to the shops and told Hans Heidrick to make a club for me. He says to Hans, 'Make that club big enough and heavy enough to kill Mulligan McNulty. Well, after this trouble Hans died. They poisoned him. One night Hans yells to the other boys, "Fellows, there's something the matter with this water. It's bitter.' The other boys tasted their water and said it was all right. But the next morning Haas was dead in his cell. They didn't want him to testify for me." Rice County People in Terror. When cross-examined by County At torney Stahl. McNulty denied that he held anything but the warmest friend ship for every man, woman and child in Rice county. He refused to admit that he threatened to kill ex-Sheriff Stoddard or his wife, whom he once de clared had fed him rotten eggs. But Stahl was sent to Topeka with a pur pose. The people of Rice county have not slept well since it was reported that McNulty might be freed. "Should tho man ever take the war path in Rice county, it Is safe to estimate that one half of th0 population would hunt a more moderate climate," declared Stahl. But McNulty would not admit theso things. He would not confess anything that reflected on his mental condition or might injure his chances for free dom. On the witness stand Dr. T. C. Bid die, superintendent of the asylum, said t was necessary to keep the man in restraint. His past record. Biddle de clared, warranted every precaution for the safety of attendants and inmates. Then Biddle told of numerous letters he had received in which he was instruct ed to telegraph these parties imme diately in case McNulty was released or escaped. The prisoner's dark brown eyes burned fire when Biddle declared he was "subject to false reasoning and a train of persecutory ideas." After hearing the evidence Judge Schoch decided that the wide, wide world was no place for McNulty and remanded him to the asylum. TO CUT M. W. A. SALARIES. Kansas Members Object to $50,000 a Year for Head Consul. Hutchinson, Kan., Apri ".There is a movement from the grass roots in Kansas to check some of the alleged extravagance in 'high places in the order of the Modern Woodmen of America. Incidentally, the movement has in mind the particularly trimming of the salary of the head consul, who draws $50,000 per year salary, and also the pay of some of the other high moguls. While the county convention of the Modern Woodmen of Reno county, held here, did not adopt any resolu tions, or take any formal action, it was evident from the tone of the speeches that Kansas Woodmen will demand some reforms in the head circles of the order. F. W. Ash of Haven proposed that resolutions be sent to the state camp, at Salina next month, instructing the national delegates from Kansas to de mand an investigation and inquiry in the matter of high salaries and1 un necessary expenses. J. L. Thompson of Nickerson and others talked along similar lines, and it was understood that the delegates elected to the state camp will take some such action.

Use for Both Religious and Grange Meetings. OVER 300 MEMBERS. "T... 4 1 l. mr T n After 11 Years. Comrades Were Separated When Mustered Out. The Presbyterian church at Pleasant Ridge, two miles northwest of Topeka, will be used for both the religion of the spirit and the religion of work. The people of the Pleasant Ridge grange have bought the building and will hold meetings of the society in it. Religious service will also be held in the church on Sundays. A meeting will be held at the church Saturday' r to complete ar rargements. The grange people had been planning on erecting a building of their own. However, the church was one of the most accessible buildings in the neigh borhood and it was understood that it could be bought reasonably. The cost would amount to much less than a new building, so the jivrefhasp has been practically made. The building will be remodeled to some extent. The Pleasant Hill grange was .organ ized last February. It now has over 300 members. Its meetings are devoted to subjects on the farm and farm home as well as topics of general interest. The principal officers of the grange are, J. A. Ostrand, master; Mrs. Tom Van Orsdal, secretary; Mrs. Tom Van Ors dal. treasurer; J. W. Cochran, Walter Coleman and William Harper, trustees. Prospects that the extension of the Melan bridge will be ready for traffic by the middle of May, as predicted, are still good. The concrete will be run on the south arch next week. About 300 yards will be required for each arch. Three days and three nights will be required for filling the mold of each arch. The concreting will be a continuous performance, day and night, after it is started until finished. This must be done so that it will set in a solid mold. Two shifts of twenty-five men will be employed. At present concrete is being poured for the "skewback." Now, some un enlightened, ignorant ignoramus of a layman may not know what a "skew back" Is. For the benefit of the same it must be said that it is the starting point of the arch which rests upon the foundation. By chance K. S. Barrett of 1045 Central avenue, who runs a shoe shop at 921 North Kansas avenue, a former "Twentieth Kansas" man, met a com rade this morning whom he had not seen since' the regiment was mustered out in San Francisco about eleven years ago. Barrett happened to walk down the avenue about 8 o'clock when he saw "Bill" Fox, also an ex-Twentieth man. The two had been great friends in the Philippines. Fox stay ed in the west after the regiment was mustered out and Barrett eventually came to Topeka. This morning he hailed his friend and a talk over old times followed. Fox lives in Oakland. He came in on the Union Pacific east bound at 6:10 a. m. and is on his way for a visit with relatives near Topeka. Notes and Personals. C. F.

The Washburn Glee club will sing at the First Christian church this even ing. The votes cast at the city election were canvassed today. That surely settles it. H. S. Montgomery, who has the finest peach orchard in Topeka. says his peaches have not been damaged. Hundreds of school children applied at the Warren M. Crosby store this morning for catalpa trees. The com pany had made the school board an offer to"" Supply "the youngsters witB trees on Arbor day. This is a holiday for the school chil dren of the city, and all of those who have not forgotten that they were once "kids' know that the little people of the grade schools especially, are hav ing a great time today.

T. and the state Gideons will hold a joint service at the First Baptist church at 2:30 o'clock. It will be a memorial service in honor of the late Charles B. Flagg, first supreme secretary of the U. C. T. and one of the founders of the order, and in memory of the de ceased members of the Topeka council No. 42 of the order. There are a good many people in Topeka just now who are asking for aid of citizens on the streets. One man who is fully able to talk and present his own proposition, has his plea writ ten out on a piece of paper. The state ment is to the effect that the man has lost one hand through blood poisoning and he wants enough money to enable him to buy a popcorn stand. A meeting of some of the workers in the "aeroplane"' Wichita-Topeka Y. M. C. A. membership contest was held thi noon preparatory to the opening of the campaign Monday. A large dinner will be held in Gemmell hall Monday even ing when as many of the 500 workers are asked to be present as possible. Dr. Frank Strong, of the state university, will be the speaker of the occasion. Several hundred boys took advantage of the offer of the management of the Y. M. C-.A.-. to give the youngsters of the city free use of the privileges of the association today. It was a highly hilarious bunch of "kids" that did stunts in the gymnasium this morning, and when A. B. Cowden, the boys' sec retary, asked them how many would like to be members of the association, there arose a mighty shout in the af firmative. This afternoon moving pic tures were shown.' CON CLVB BAXQtJET DRY. But Students Kecoveretl Six Quarts of Wine From Police. Lawrence, Kan.. April 7. It was dry at the Con club feed last night. Oh, so dry. The fluid that made Mil waukee famous, together with a choice assortment of similar beverages, had been Inopportunely seized by the hate ful police just at the banquet hour. The silver and glassware were glitter ing in tempting array and the place cards were just being laid, when Chief Herd and his squadron descended un expectedly and unceremoniously emp tied the refrigerator of at least eight quarts of Schlitz, six quarts of fine old wine and forty-eight quarts of Pearl Springs whisky. At least, that was the quantity with which they reached the police court. Before the banquet closed, some of the participants ripped the screening out of the vault window at headquarters and recovered the six quarts of wine. New York Sugar and Coffee Market. Jiew York.

April 6. STOCKS The only feature of the stock market at the opening today was a rise in Canadian Pacific of over a point following a gain of a similar amount in London. The rest of the list was virtually unchanged from yesterday's closing figures. A half dozen of the minor industrials responded to trading operations in a mod erate fashion but the great mass of stocks were inert. United States Rubber and the Pittsburg Coal stocks advanced one to one and a quarter, and American Canadian preferred and Colorado Fuel large fractions. American Steel foundries and National Biscuit lost 2. Speculative interest in the stock market dwindled steadily until there were pro longed intervals when the ticker did not even register a sale. None of the favorite stocks varied more than i from their in itial prices, and the obscure specialties furnished the only medium for scalping profits. There was a higher market for bonds with some large operations in Vir ginia deferred certificates. Seaboard AI5 Line Adjustment 6 s and Southern 4 s, Virginia certificates jumped 4 points to 63. Associated Oil gained 2 points. The report of the Copper Producers as sociation lor March which showed an In crease on hand of 5.370,164 pounds, caused some scattered liquidation in Amalgamat ed Copper, which went down nearlv a point. The rest of the active list was un altered from the midday level. Seaboard Air line adjustment continued to be heav ily bought and touched 78, a gain of 214. Wabash Terminal certificates were liqui dated freely meanwhile and fell 1. Stocks receded slightly in midaftemoon. Erie and Missouri Pacific went oft a con siderable fraction.

RIDGLEY'S Credit Parlors 114 West Eighth St. -'ir-TriY-tiTri ft A few years ago anxious fathers, mothers, friends and relatives shivered In their seats at the Grand as their eons, daughters and college chums went through their "parts" in the an nual Washburn play. Expecting any minute to see them break down and watching and listening for every ex pression from the audience, the play was a duty to them it was a doubtful pleasure. Kut it is different now. Hince the Washburn college dramatic club has boosted dramatic art to its "present standard, the plays given by the club are as well acted and as well Staged as the average play seen in the Grand. last night waa no exception. The dramatic club gave the Tojieka and college audiences just what they were expecting a good, clean, interesting show. But if "The Girl With the Green Eyes." written by Clyde Fitch, had not been presented it would have mede no difference. It isn't the play that attracts Topeka audiences to Washburn productions it is the treat of seeing on the stage naturally pretty college girls and college men in their every day spirit. Paint, powder and silk stockings go very well for maga zine stage beauties, but when Topeka theater eoers want to see real sure enough good looks, right from the campus, they attend the Washburn Dramatic club plays. The play last night was a good one. The dramatic club has never tried any thing o.uite so full of feeling and pas sion. It is a task for coliege men and girls to get right up before their friends and faculty and opera glasses and carry on love scenes mingled with hugs and kisses and "sich." And there was plenty of that last night. Many Bn envious college rah-rah boy whose "case" starred in the play sat in his anxious seat watching the fortunate members of the cast throwing their arms around her and planting yes, air, planting genuine kisses on her lips. The play was marred by a few lU-mannered students who gave way to mirth at inopportune times. .'.Topeka newspaper readers have been seeing a picture of Rebecca Welty in the daily editions for the last week. Even her picture showed that she 'wasn't a dry goods store window model it looked good enough for the price of the tickets. Last night they saw Miss Welty in action. And every one on leaving the theater agreed that Miss Rebecca is as talented as she is pretty and attractive. She was easily the star of the cast. In every act, in every scene and in every feature she drew the attention of the audience. She acted as naturally as if she was In the sorority house playing bridge. Playing opposite Miss Welty was Lee Johnson, a tall good looking chap, who read his lines like James K. Hackett. His part as a newly wed who is saddened by other troubles, is no easy task for an amateur. Miss Marie Vanderpool, as the wronged wife, and Miss Fannie Steves as the woman breaking into society, and Miss Laura Townsley aa the little sister, were favorites. Each showed ability of a high order. Playing op posite Miss Vanderpool was Mr. Arth ur Banta, whose duty as a bigamist always covered under with worry and trouble, waa difficult for any actor. Mr. Banta was? successf ul in shedding real tears and tearing real hairs out of his head, but then he has real hair, and real tears to spare. Opposite Miss Steves came Mr. David Neiswanger. Now despite the fact that Mr. Neis wanger's friends and relatives sat near the front of the house, he con tributed the real humor of the play j ana acrea nis part without a hitch. Among the pretty girls who contrib- uted valuable parts to the success of j the play were Miss Maud McManimie, Miss Bernice Emahizer, Miss Helen I Harrison, Miss 'Grace Gaines, Miss Helen Griffin arid Miss Mignon Logan. And special mention must be given to the part played by Mr. Groven Dunn, whose makeup and actions car- ried the crowd. Also to Mr. How-ard Searle as the ever obliging butler., and Mr. Ben Pratt. Miss Pearl L. Compte, who is connected with the department of oratory of the college directed the play and W. Roy George of the stu dent body managed the production. A HOPEFUL MESSAGE TO SCALP SUF1ERERS AND MEN WHOSE HAIR IS THINNING randruff now bald later. The same is true of scalp diseases. In fact bald ness is a scalp disease. The trouble With the greasy salves and lotions, the so-called dandruff and scalp cures you have tried so far is that they don't do anything but temporarily relieve the itching and cake the dandruff so it doesn't fall until its dried out again. "Nothing can cure really cure such troubles but a real scalp medicine that will kill the germs causing dandruff and scalp disease. Learning from leading fellow drug gists throughout America that they had found a whirlwind cure for dand ruff, eczema and all diseases of the skin and scalp the Arnold Drug Store on proving to the laboratories com pounding the treatment that it is the most prominent drug store in this city secured the agency for the remedy. This remedy is ZEMO, the clean, liquid reparation that kills the germ of dis ease and ZEMO SOAP to wash the scalp or -skin clear and clean of the dandruff or scale- and by its antiseptic nualities soothe and heal.

"Harsh' winds and changeable weather work havoc with complexions unless properly cared for," writes Madelene Maree in Home Beauty, "From experience I find a massage cream made by dissolving two ounces cerol in a scant pint boiling water and stirring well is best and does away with powder. "Massaging with cerol clears and tones the skin and frees it from black heads, oiliness or rimplsr rash.

Toteleck picked up an unframed bed ppring and handing one end of it to Jureck. remarked: "Let's pull this thing and see how far it will stretch." Jureck pulled and pulled. Finally the united strength of the tfco young men had the wire stretched almost taut. Then Toteleck conceived the no tion that it would be a fine joke to let his end go. The freed end of the spring flew back to Jureck with terrific force and struck him on the head. He fell like a log with a fractured skull. In Memoriani.

The hat was to be fashionable, becoming, dres sy, chic, and inexpensive. During the first twenty minutes all the hats in the store, except infants' hoods and imported patterns, were tried on. After that all the hats, each and severally, in all combinations and permutations were carried to the manager to learn the bedrock price on them. Then the selection narrowed down to five hats. The purchaser or, perhaps, I should say, the looker was partial to a cer tain straw with a long quill standing out at right angles to the backmost point of the turban. Undoubtedly, was an up-to-date creation, but the daughter didn't like it and advised her mother to try another one. because the feathered one made her nose look queer. The remaining "bunnits" of the selection were tried on in rotation, some five or six times, earnestly gazed at from all points of view, wrong side before, inside out and upside down and each of them pronounced Grand! Sweet! Dear! and Elegant. At last a decision was made in favor of the quilled hat, when suddenly it occurred to someone that it could never be Saturday our opening sale of Easter Footwear for the Little Ones and you mothers know how necessary it is that your child should wear the pret big shoe store is the child on Easter morn.

Take Elevators to Fourth Floor THE MILLS CO. Testerday I published some of the answers that my readers gave to the query, "What kind of man does a wo man like best?" and promised more today. Here goes. "You ask what kind of man woman likes. Let's put it, instead, 'Why does a woman love a man? and the answer is simply 'Because she believes he needs her.' Fully 15 per cent of wo man's love is mother love. When a woman feels that a man needs her own particular self' to round out his life, to watch over and guard him, to understand and help, she is going to love him, no matter Who lie is or who she is.' "What sort of a man does a woman like best The man who is in truth a gentle-man, honest, industrious, gen erous, simple in speech and manner, who treats his foes with the same kindly courtesy that he does his friends, who strives to be pure in thought and deed and who is a friend to the friendless. Ready wit, tact and personal charm are greatly to be de sired in a man but these must be com bined with a trustworthy character to win a woman's genuine liking and re spect." "The man I like best is manly and self assertive, no door mat for me. Also he must be polite and muscular. no woman likes a flabby, rude, nor a coarse man'.. He must not speak in a meek voice but be both masterful and polite." "What kind of men do I like best? Bi men. big in mind, body and soul: clean, clean in thought and word as well as morals. Successful men, well dressed, well groomed and smooth of face. A Christian man, courageous, tender and true, good to his mother, considerate of his sisters. A man you can look up to but that looks up to you and never jokes about, women or speaks lightly of thefE".ei "You aeked the great public what qualities- women like est In men. I am 24, not unattractive (so they tell me), but still looking for a man who possesses the following desirable qual ities: "1. Broadmindedness. "2. Honest ambition. "3. At least Ordinary-ability. "4. A kindly sense of humor. "5. Innate courtesy. "Tell me, Mies Cameron, is the search for such a man hopeless?" "Would you like to know the opin ion of one who is said to be a crank en this subject, one whom her family and friends say is not to be pleased with a mere human man, one who having met every kind and condition of the genus homo still remains heart whole and fancy free? Then observe my ideal which,; I've noticed, is by no means a unique one; -"A man who is first and foremost a man in every sense of the word, big physically as well as mentally, moral ly and spiritually. A man incapable of anything small or petty. One who is particular in little thin gs, little at tentions that mean so much to a wom an. Above all; man who has a sense of humor. Good looks are not essen tial, neither is-wealth, ad to be a man he must possessjfaalta. v But just a big, clean hearted crrap .with, a broad shoulder on, which to lay your,-tiead when things, go wrong-" "v.

AMERICANS LOOTING. SHE WILL FIGHT. Mrs. Wells Will Resist Suit of Kalb Heirs to Last. In a statement made today, Mrs. Julia A. Wells. 1624 Topeka avenue, de clared that never once in the time she knew Dr. J. C. Kalb has she obtained one dollar from him which was not Justly due her. The woman denied In ever detail the allegations that she had fraudulently obtained almost I25.0W) worth of Kalb's property under a prom ise of marriage. As a defense in the case, it is prob able that Mrs. Wells who was formerly Julia A. Melvin will try to establish the fact that Kalb came to live at the Melvin home because his own children had driven him from home and refused to provide the aged physician with the proper care and shelter. Further than this the defendants in the sensational suit will try to prove that at the time Kalb died he owed members of the Melvin household money for services which the estate has never paid. The Wellses live in a new J8.0OO home on Topeka avenue near the fa,r grounds. It is the property of Mrs. Wells, who bought the place some time after she became acquainted with Dr. Kalb. But the woman now claims that the McPherson man did not furnisn any of the money with which to make the purchase and that the money was earned by her in the sale of real estate. Mrs. Wells was for many years engaged in the real estate business in Topeka. She dealt almost entirely in Texas properties. Four sections of this land, it is claimed, were sold to Kalb at a ridiculously high price. The Wells household deny this statement, also. "When I met Dr. Kalb," said Mrs. Wells in discussing the incidents sur rounding the suit, "he was living in the Merchants' hotel at McPherson. He told me his children had driven him from home and would not care for him." i-e was in poor health and I cared for him a great deal. I was in McPherson several months that time. We all had to work very hard tfiat year, as the real estate business was not good and we had to keep up payments on som-. property which I had bought. But Dr. Kalb never helped me with the pay ments. Aside from giving me goods for a few dresses. Dr. Kalb never made me a present in his life. "After the children and I returned to Topeka, Dr. Kalb insisted on coming, too. He stayed at the house for some time and we nursed him and cared for him as best we could. Why. do you know, my son waited on him nights and lost sleep and was almost compelled to quit his work, but Dr. Kalb never gave him a dollar. "Then the children in McPherson be came jealous and we urged the doctor to return to them. He did so, but they soon drove him from their homes again and he returned to Topeka. He stayed several weeks the last time and went to Texas to look at some land he owned. While there he died. "This trouble is all a trumped up deal," declared Mrs. Wells, "and the rs MIDDAUGH Choose Your Easter Clothes From These Exceptional Values at $18.00 to $25 J The man who selects from this fine collection of new Spring apparel can rest assured that his clothes will be above criticism of his, fellow men. You will find after comparison you can not purchase garments possessing the same sterling features of merit elsewhere less than $5 to $10 more than the prices we ask.

D TAXI HE FAINTS IN COURT. Camorrist Priest Collapses as Result of Sell Imposed East. Viterbo, Italy, April 7. Again today the trial of -the Camorrists was inter rupted when Ciro Vitozzi, the accused priest, weakened by a self imposed fast, fainted. He was under interrogation and had worked himself into such state of mental and physical exhaustion that he tumbled against the steel bars of the prisoners' cage. Lawyers and carabineers rushed to his assistance and in the confusion Presi dent Bianchi declared the sitting sus pended. At the same time the court ordered Vitozzi to break his fast with the yolks of half a dozen eggs. The climax came opportunely for Vitozzi following his declaration that he had abstained from food for 48 hours. He had been telling a story of his al leged persecution in prison and the re cital was not without dramatic effect. "With me in my cell," said the priest, "I had a lock of hair from the head of that holy soul, my mother. This was taken from me on the order of a magis trate, who insisted that the hair was that of some woman companion of mine. What nonsense. Why it waa even gray. Can any one imagine a greater profanation." Here the accused man invoked the sou! of his mother In support of his statement and the recollection of what he described as the insults to her mem ory overwhelming him, he w-as seized with a fit of weeping. Between his sobs he cried out: "I have been fasting for 48 hours, supported during my whole Interroga tion by ilivine power," with the word. he collapsed. Giovanni Rapi was not present when the trial was resumed this morning. His physician certified that he was suf fering from a sore throat as a result of having "cried too much during his in terrogation." The proceedings opened with the re call of Vitozzi. The prisoner described attempts which he said had been madti to make him appear guilty of com plicity in the murder of Oennaro Cuoc- colo and his wife. While he was in prison he said he was confronted with a man who offered him $20 to denounce certain persons as guilty of the Cuon colo assassination, adding that if It was necessary he would send the priest to America as Erricone had been sent. Vitozzi said he did not know the man who approached him and whose name as given was fictitious. The prisoner told of the alleged abuse of him by the examining judges during his preliminary examination and whim he was in prison. Judge Detilla, ne said, had insulted him, calling him "a Camorrist pig." "This," said Vitozzi, "was cowardly, savage and inhuman, while the judge ought to represent honesty." AMUSEMENTS. All roads theatrical will lead to th-s Grand tomorrow, matinee and night, the date set for the first appearance in this city of that laughable and sensa tionally successful French importation, "The Girl in the Taxi," which comas with the enviable reputation of being one of the greatest entertainments con cocted for the purpose of enjoyment ever produced on t.ny stage. Paris and S t Bertie and Mlgnon In "The Girl in the Taxi" at the Grand Saturday. Berlin greeted it as the climax to all fun-making plays witnessed in those cities in years; New York and Chicago theater goers would not permit it to de part until it had broken all records for attendance and box office receipts known in those cities for farce produc ons. Boston praised it in the most flattering terms and turned out to ap plaud Its laughable situations for nearly six months. Actors of the best reputations as comedians of the first rank compose the company which will be seen when the piece makes its bow for local approval. The public is assured of one fact when spending their money to see a show by negroes. It has the snap and vim seldom if ever seen in a whita company. Negro entertainers have a style of their own that always amuses. The attraction at the Grand, Monday, April 10, consists of a large company of tringers, dancers and musical comedy stars, headed by J. Leubrie Hill in a new vehicle, "My Friend From Dixie." Miss Estelle Thebaud, handsome and florid as Carmen herself in most of her stage impersonations, has a role in which she is most happy and facile in "Madame Sherry," "Pepita" is the name of the character. "Pepita" is a Spanish girl, and with a Spanish girl's traditional privileges when in love is very much so. In "Madame Sherry" her sweetheart is fickle, and for some time the poor swain is kept busy keep ing free from "Pepita's" jealous ven geance. But jealous rage when sung In a musical piece isn't the fearsome thing it is melodrama, and report says Miss Thebaud arouses many a laugh v her satire. "Madame Sherry" re turns Tuesday at the Grand.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 7, 19111 NEURALGIA OF j charged with murder. THEjJTOMAGH A Kansas Woman Tells of the Knife-Like Pains She Suffered. After Eight Years of Treatment With out Result the Patient Tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and Was Quickly Cured. Neuralgia is irritation or inflamma tion of a nerve. When the nerves of the stomach are inflamed the term neu ralgia of the stomach ia used. The treatment is the same as for a: other form of neuralgia and consists of a proper tonic, nourishing food ana rest. Mrs. Mary E. Thorpe of lo. 1025 Riley street, Atchinson, Kans., whs cured of a long-standing case of neural gia of the stomach by Dr. Williams' Fink Pills. 8he says: "For more than twenty years I Buf fered from neuralgia of the etc. ach which was frequently so bad tht was confined to my bed for days at a time.

Dr. Morrison, who made an exami nation of the body a few hours after the tragedy, testified that he found the body ol Henry Knott lying on the floor of the barn on the Jackson farm. He said the examination revealed the fact that Knott had been shot twice, one bullet entering the left temple and lodging between the skin and skull above the right ear, the other enter ing the center of the back of the head at the base of the brain and lodging in the skin above the left eye. He gave it as his professional opinion that either of the wounds would have caused cieath. Charley Lammy. brotlier-in-law of the accused, was placed on the stand and testified that he was near the barn on the morning of the tragedy and saw Jackson and Knott enter the barn to gether, but had noticed nothing cut of the ordinary in the conduct of either of the men. A few moments later he heard two shots, after which Jackson came out and told him to go into the barn. This he did. finding there the lifeless body of Henry Knott, the face covered with blood Lammy also tes tified that the two men had appar ently been on the best of terms when both partook of the morning meal to gether. If there had ever been any trouble between the two men that fact was not brought out at the preliminary hearing. Jackson was bound over on a charge of murder in the first degree and remanded to jail without bond to await trial in the district court, which Is now in session. OWES I ER HEALTH To Lydia E.

Peter Hall, Whose Wife Has He-Married, Will Not Pay Alimony. Iola, Kan., April 7. "I'll pay the court costs and lawyers' fees, but I'll spend the rest of my life in jail rather than pay one cent of alimony." This was the statement made In the Allen county prison by Peter Ball, who has been incarcerated two years as a result of his contempt of court in re fusing to give $600 to his former wife as decreed in the divorce granted her at that time. Ball refused to make thj payments as ordered by the court, and now, after two years of legal controversy, he finds himself no nearer freedom than the day he entered prison. He asked the board of county com missioners to remit the costs. This was refused. Now his last pie., is to the court, offering to pay the court costs and attorneys' fees but "not one cent of alimony." The court has taken this proposition under advisement, but the chances are that Ball will lose here, too. At one time, it Is said, Ball showed signs of weakening and might have settled the case. But this is' looked upon as Improb able now, due to the fact that Mrs. Ball recently became the wife of the marshal of Bassett. Kan. Ball does not relish the idea of pay ing alimony to a woman who now is the wife of another. This plea for sympathy, however, has been answered by the statement that counsel for the former Mrs. Ball offered to deduct a sum from the stipulated alimony equal to the amount Ball was ordered to pay her monthly while the wife remained divorced. HAS DUG 2,000 GRAVES. 'Old lnn Jeffries" Has Been Sexton of Cemetery Since 1889. Columbus. Kan., April 7. There are probably 2,000 people In the city of Columbus. A man who had, with his own feeble hands, dug graves that would accommodate one for each of the entire population of the town has been taken to the Osawatomie asy lum. His name is A. L Jeffries, but no one in Columbus knows him by that name. There he was commonly known as "Old Man Jeffries." He was1 bent and enfeebled with age, being 82 years old, and for seventeen years had been sexton of the principal cemetery in fact, the onlv cemetery in Columbus. In that time he has dug 2,000 graves there. Old Man Jeffries' mind has weak ened under the influences of eighty two years and the little rooms above the Oscar Crane book store in which he has been living under the intermit tent watching of a neighbor roomer, Charles Reynolds, will be cleaned out and prepared for another and younger roomer. For Old Man Jeffries has lived in Columbus since back in 1888 or thereabouts and since about 1890 he has had entire care of the city cem etery. There are few families in Columbus for whom Jeffries has not dug a grave or set a stone at the cemetery. The keeping of the lot boundaries, the preservation of markers on new graves, the trimming of the grass around the edges of a tombstone, the filling of sunken graves, these are in cidents in the strange world in which Old Man Jeffries has lived there. Advarcing age compelled him to leave the cemetery last vear and the further encroachments of old age are! now taking him away from Columbus, with strange hallucinations in his mind to close his life in a state hospital.
