THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1911. RAILR0AD NEWS. Railways New Ally of the West ern Farmers. Thousands for Scientific Agri culture Doctrines. HELPS KOADS IN END Freight Receipts Fattened by Better Products. Other Items of General Inter est In Traffic World. Kansas City, Mo., April 18. When the department of agriculture at Washing ton and the colleges of the middle west set out to teach scientific agri culture to the farmer, the hardest task they had to perform was to catch their pupil. The rural dweller was not par ticularly coy. but he was Indifferent, skeptical and scornful. Believing that he knew more about his business than anyone could tell him, he manifested a profound contempt for "book farming" and the theorists who taught it. That same attitude is discoverable In some sections of the country today, but for the most part the farmers have been brought to understand that they were cheating themselves when they turned a deaf ear to scientific Instruction and that Improved methods meant double and treble production from their land. And that change has been hastened ma terially by an ally to the scientists an enthusiastic publicity agent and an en ergetic distributor of knowledge. That ally is the railroad. It is the railroad that has carried the product of the scientists' labors to the farmer and proved to him by ocular demonstration that there was something worth while In "book farming" set before his eyes tetter grain and fruit than he ever grew and finer stock than he ever bred. And along with the products of the laboratory the railroad carried the sci entists themselves, who took the re luctant farmer pupil gently but firmly by the button hole and told him where he was away off. And the farmer saw and heard and was converted. The railroads of the middle west to day are spending tens of thousands of dollars annually in assisting in the work of spreading the doctrine of sci entific agriculture. They even have gone into the demonstration business on their own accounts and maintain bureaus of publicity, experiment sta tions, permanent displays of improved farm products. Each road, besides aiding the government and the state institutions, runs a little agricultural college of its own. This generous activity of the trans portation companies is not inspired by philanthropy it is plain, cold business. There's mighty little sentiment about a railroad corporation and mighty lit tle time for gratuitous missionary work. They reason thusly: We spend a dollar teaching-the farmer how bet ter to farm; as a result he grows larger crops, consequently has more grain and fruit and live stock to ship our dol lar, accompanied by several others, comes back to us In increased freight receipts. The most valuable aid given the agri cultural colleges by the railroads has been In supplying trains and traveling equipment for the demonstrators who carried messages to the farmers. These trains, which on occasion carry stock cars for exhibition farm animals, seed cars for grain, and Pullmans for the teachers, have proved so errective in spreading the doctrine of higher agri culture that many of the roads now keep them In service the greater part of the year, continuing the campaign ing on their own account when the coK leges are not sending out instructors. The railroads bear the cost of these ex cursions, which include seed specials, dairy specials and stock specials, and the expense .of operating one of those trains is a thousand dollars a week or more. The railroads, too, attend to ad vertising the coming of the agricul tural specials, and to bringing farmers to the stations along the route to hear lectures on seed selections, stock breed ing, fertilization and rotation of crops. In Colorado the railroads are giving the agricultural college of the state almost as much money as is appropriated by the state for college extension work, the amount of transportation supplied alone amounting to more than $4,000 a year. JTE.WV STEEIi OX SANTA FE. Laying Ninety Found Rails Between Cherrj-vale and Chanute. Cherryvale, Kan., April 18. The Santa Fe this morning began laying the 90-pound rails which have been lying along Its right of way between here and Chanute the past year. The work of laying this heavy steel north from Cherryvale began last summer, but the gang got only about a mile from town when a retrenchment order stopped them. The steel has been lying along the track, also the plates, spikes, etc., in readiness for nearly a year, but for reasons known only to the management of the road the new rails were allowed to lie along the right of way. When equipped with the heavier steel, the Santa Fe's track between Ottawa and Cherryvale. will be one of the best in the state. It was rock bal lasted five years ago, all the grades reduced and all bridges strengthened. When the track is equipped with the 80-pound rails, now being laid, the heaviest rolling stock on the system may com to Cherryvale, but it can't go south of here to Coffeyville nor west even so far as Independence. What does It all mean? One of two things. Either Cherryvale is to be made a freight division point with heavy trains into Cherryvale from the ast and about double as many lighter Ask your vi V scrofulous conditions, ulcers, "fever-sore," white swellings, etc., by taking Dr. Pierce's Diaeovery.

Even with a better track no locomotive can go west from Cherryvale over the flint hills with over half the load it hauled into Cherryvale because of the un avoidable grades west of this town. WHY THE LTJRE OF THE WEST? It's Easy Twenty Acres and Inde pendent Lire, Say Railroads. Kansas City, Mo., April 18. The fact that the railroads of the United States during the past season carried over 200,000 people west to build up new sections of the country was the subject of discussion when several lo cal passenger and railroad immigra tion officials chanced to meet In a hotel lobby. "What does it all mean?" one offi cial asked. "Of course there is a lot of land available for farming yet, but when this is gone and the population of the country keeps on increasing what will happen?" "Then they'll have to try Intenlsve farming," another responded. "That's right," a third piped. "The best farmers today, those most intel ligent in making the soil pay big divi dends, unite in declaring that the day of the large farm is passing." "People are changing their ideas about farming," one of the officials said. "It was believed formerly that it took considerable capital to start. It requires but little capital on the small farm and the young man or any man with limited capital can start now. Missouri soil, where the farmer can be close to good markets, ought to prove a good place for intensive farming. For Instance, land doesn't cost much In the Ozarks. and twenty acres is enough for any man. All he needs to do Is to plant it judiciously in proper proportion as to apples, peaches, strawberries and garden stuffs. With this start anyone almost can be Independent from the Etart and will attain a degree of comfort and in dependence he'could not hope to reach in the city or on larger farms under the most favorable circumstances. I believe that in a few years the Ozarks will come into their own, and I do not think the back to the soil movement will peter out." RECORD COLONIST NUMBERS. Tables Show 85,000 Have Gone West From Eastern Points. Chicago. 111.. April 18. Revised sta tistics compiled by officials of the Har riman lines and other railroads which handled colonist passenger business to the Pacific coast during the thirty-day period ending April 10. disclose that all records for that class of travel during the annual spring period were smashed this year. Tables compiled show, that 85,000 persons, traveled from hundreds of points 1n the east, north and south to cities on the west ern edge of the continent while the special rates offered by the various lines were in force.' This figure. It Is declared, exceeds by fully 15,000 the total of last spring, when colonist rates were offered throughout a pe riod of forty-five days. The travel this year was distributed as. follows: Southern Pacific Via Ogden, 15,320; via El Paso, 9.929; via Los Angeles, 868; via Portland, 3 761. Oregon Washington Railroad and Navigation company, 11,600; Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe, 20,000; Northwest route via Hll lines (estimated), 15.000; via other lines (estimated). 10.000. It is estimated that fully 50,000 of all those who traveled on colonist tick ets this- spring went to California and extreme western states other than those classified in the Pacific north west group. SANTA FE MAKES 17 PER CENT. Two Cent Fare Seems to Have Been Profitable. Oklahoma City, Ok., April 18. That the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway made 17.86 per cent profit while the 2-cent fare was In force, and the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe 18.51 per cent, is the showing made by figures compiled by Henry Wllmcr Ing, auditor of the Oklahoma corpor ation commission. The figures show that the total passenger train revenue of the Santa Fe for the year ending June 30, 1909, was $1,800,614.87; total operating expenses. 11,390,346.41; taxes, 159,126.66; credit by rents re ceivable, $21,181.57, making the total of all expenses, $1,525,290.60, and leaving a profit of $332,324.37. For the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe the to tal passenger train revenue was $338, 600.83; total operating expenses, $239,712.61; taxes, $27,378.05; rentals payable, $8,832.05, making the total of all expenses $275,992.71, and the profit $62,678.12. RAILWAY NOTES. The Santa Fe general officers ex pect to get into their new general of fice building about the first of May. Topeka passenger officials have re ceived notice that the Minnesota rail roads will re-establish 3-cent fares in that state June 1, under the decision handed down last Saturday by Judge Sanborn. This will result in the revis ion of a large percentage of the exist ing passenger tariffs. That the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad Is planning to take early steps In the construction or a line Into the united States for the purpose of securing di rect connection with Chicago, is the in dication of recurrent reports from the northwest. W. H. Bush, for many years com mercial agent for the Pacific Coast Steamship company at Nome. Alaska, and a brother of B. F. Bush of Balti more, president of the Western Mary land railway, died at his home in Se attle Sunday of tubercular, pneu monia. Mr. Bush was 47 years old. The Great Western limited, operated between Chicago and the Twin Cities, hereafter will have compartment-observation sleepers, in addition to a men's club car. The new car is to have eight sleeping compartments and an observation parlor for women.

M'GRATH SCORES RUN Crippled Pitcher Holds Locals to 6 flits. Wind Storm in Operation Throughout Game. David Starr Jordan, who has put the ban on basebaU at Leland Stanford be cause of what he termed "systematic muckerlsm," would have curdled up wore than that if had heard the Irish collegians at St. Marys yesterday. A league club usually eats that stuff up but they had nothing on the amateurs up the line. The professionals boarded the return train with the firm convlc .i i. Aa-a st v11eee was a UUU Hiefct. m..j plenty No such noise, rag chewing between spectators and players and players and players, or wordy thrusts ever reached the ears of Dave Jordan and it is a safe bet he never even guessed at it. Comiskey himself, in his old college town, could not have attracted half the crowd which followed Eddie Sabrie around after he got a chance to slip over a few of his choice ones. Oh, yes, the game. The score was 1 to 1. The affair lasted only seven in nings. Qulgley came around to say the uaw better leave at that point in or der to catch their train. Then they waited 40 minutes for the train. Not that Moore cared about the score, for Y13 took the men up just for a workout.. And then there Is no chance to win anyway. Nobody can beat St. Marys at home not if Frank Moss knows it. He has umpired for the St. Marys boys so long, he can't see any other club with a pair of field glasses. But that was only one of the reasons. The other was that Moore's Indiana could not hit the ball. Mahoney. young pitcher who Is handicapped with a crippled leg, held the Kaws to six bingles and those came one in an in ning. He walked only one. McGrath and Beecher worked on tha mound for the Kaws. Barney, because of his nationality, thought he would get a fair shake but later said he never saw so small a plate in his life. Ha grooved them straight into Hawkins mitt and still they would be balls. He whiffed nine in his five innings. These were counted out on their swings. McGrath scored Topeka's run in the third. He hit safely, moving up Haw kins who was on by error. Hafford walked and Moore hit Into KeUeys hands and Hawkins was out at the plate. McGrath advanced to third dur ing the excitement and counted a mo ment later on a passed ball. A strange coincidence gives Mahoney, the opposing pitcher, the St. Marys run. He got on through a fielder's, choice. Then his runner stole second and Ben nett drove a double Into the garden scoring him.

But the band was play ing an American rag and Eddie passed unnoticed until later. They do say G. Cohan is Irish, at that. Roy Beecher and Third Baseman Bennett had a lively tilt all through the game. Bennett opened up on Beecher when the latter got over into St. Marys' territory as related to the team benches. Beecher disliked the brogue and named Bennett "mush mouth." Later BennetJ got the only hit off Beecher. Barney McGrath covered the plate for a throw early in the game and was Just, about fitted for a Salome. A number of safety pins enabled him to go. on with the performance, but the runner 3 spike dug a quarter inch fur row a foot long down the inside of the pitcher's leg. A regular Scovllle 'crowd accom panied Sabrie from the ball diamond to the infirmary, where baths are fur nished. They slapped him on the back and stopped on his heels, jostling each other for a better view. A robd d- Standing of the Teams. NATIONAL, LEAGUE. Clubi Won. Lost.' Pet.

Sabrie told him the boys were trying to kid him. but that he could get along very well alone. At the club house door he called the huskiest and best dresred bruiser in the bunoh to one side and said confi dentially, "You know It's a shame. I've been here only an hour or two, but It almost breaks my heart to think of it to think that you, after spend ing seven years here in hard study, will have to go out and drive Casey's mule." Said college student is in love with Sabrie. When Moss called Katz out at home on so slim a preterf of evening up mistakes, Manager Moore gave up and dropped to his knees on the dia mond. His umps was so utterly hope less, Moore explained, that he just could not help the inclination. Some St. Marys neonla admit that Frank Moss is a rank homer and ex cuse him by saying that he has to be In order to live in the town. The trouble at St Marys is they have learned too much baseball and too lit tle sportsmanship. Quigley conceived the notion once that Sabrie would not be allowed to stand near the plate when the preced ing Daiter was up. Ed was having a lot of fun with Catcher Malone. The game was stopped while Qutg told Sabrie what his idea of the situation was, but Sabrie couldn't go back and sit down among the boys and cet jol lied, so he stuck it out and Quig gave up. When Sabrie got to the plate they offered him a cup of water. He stopped the game to drink it. Sabrie evidently will be one of the chief topics of conversation at the St. Marys dining hall for the next week or two. The boys took to him almost as soon as they saw him. The players; too, liked him and they all crowded around him at every opportunity. In truth, he almost lost his reputation as a kidder, but came off victor after a severe struggle. The young Irish Americans were permitted to crowd around the visitors' bench. And they poured a lot of hot soup out while there. They asked him if he was In clined to the belief that be would stick on the Kaw squad. Now, don t any of you boys get -tor fciddrrt me. This is the way I make "nty living," Sabrie began setlously. -("And, say, here's where I've got the best of you. You don't know how long I'll stick, but I know you wouldn't stick here a min ute if your daddies didn't pay your fare.

One Thousand Dollars Raised 1)J AVomen for Campaign Purposes Chicago, April 18. American col lege women were said to. be "nuns" in their attitude or lack of attitude toward modern social and industrial questions, at a mass meeting of col lege women in the assembly room, fine arts building. The meeting was held in the interest of the proposed amendment to the wo men's ten hour law. This amendment is designed to limit the hours of work to 54 a week -and to include virtually all classes of women workers in the state. More than 100 women, representing the alumnae of eleven colleges, attend ed the meeting. A fund of $1,000 was pledged for the campaign for the pro posed amendment. A resolution was adopted indorsing the proposed amendment, and a start was made to form a permanent organ ization to be known as the Illinois Wo- 'men s Industrial committee. Miss Marion MeShea, business agent of the Women's Straw and Felt Hat Makers' union, said further limitation of the hours will distribute the work in seasonal trades and elimiate "rush seasons." Mrs. Ira Nelson Morris, president of the College club, was present. X". S. TroopM for Douglas. Des Moines, April IS. The Sixth cavalry. Lieutenant Colonel Charlos O'Connor in command will leave Fort Dps Moines late today for Douglas, Aria. The troops are going in thrre txaina on the Rock Island. She Is in Indianapolis and Protected From Camera Men. Washington,- April 18. Canadian reciprocity again was the subject of debate in the house today, the third day of the discussion and originally planned to he the. r.nno.lnd-infir dav. It will not be, however, for when the house convened Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee de I clared so many appeals for more time have been made to him that the debate must be prolonged at least another day. "I do not believe we can con clude the debate before Thursday," said Mr. Underwood. "Mr. .McCall on the Republican side, to whom I have allotted five hours of my time has not yet spoken, nor have any of the Republican supporters of the bill. Their arguments alone will take up the greater part of a day, and Mr. Dalzell has not yet spoken. There are others on both sides who wish to speak and I will close the debate. I see no chance of getting the bill to a vote before Thursday at the earliest." Mr. McCall of Massachusetts was ready today to take up the debate, to answer some of the arguments made against the bill by his party colleagues. Representatives Hinds, Fordney, Len root and Crumpacker. The senate has adjourned until Thursday. Hill Opens Debate. Representative E. J. Hill of Con necticut, a Republican of the w ays and means committee, opened the debate on the Canadian reciprocity agreement when the house convened today. Mr. Hill declared that the agreement in no way threatened the policy of protec tion. He produced recent reports of the tariff board to show that prices in Canada were practically the same as in the United States on all products on which the reciprocity agreement re duces or wipes out the tariff duty. Mr. Hill declares that the attitude of some farming communities against th3 reciprocity bill was based on wrong information and presented figures to show that the average protection given the farmer was greater than that Eivpn the manufacturer. RfeDresenta- tive E. L. Hamilton, of Michigan, said the burden of the reciprocity agreement would fall in farming interests of the United States. He pointed to the fact that it was admitted that the flour millers would gain greatly by the new .treaty. The millers, brewers and packers win absorb all the benefits of the reciproc ity agreement he declared. Mr. Ham ilton charged the Republicans with be ing hypocrites if they went back on the things they had preached to the farmers for many years. "Whatever the American farmer plants from this time on, he must plant on shares with Canada, said Mr. Hamilton. "The quickest way to get low prices and hard times is to turn the management of our tarii( making over to the Democrats." Mr. Hamilton declared the extra session of congress would be known In history n the anti-farmer session and that the Democrats would be in the position of the man who drew an elephant in a raffle. STOCKS BREAK SHARPLY Indianapolis, April 18. Miss Helen Gould, with members of the New York delegation, arrived here at noon today for the third biennial national conven tion of the Young Women's Christiau association which opens here tomorrow.

Slocum of Colorado Springs, president of the last convention, will preside at the opening meeting tomorrow. CUT ARMY EXPENSES. Chairman Hay Would lengthen Term of Enlistment. T I 1.

Bear traders tooK aavamagn oi me Mexican situation to inaugurate the selling movement. Uneasiness on this score was the chief factor in deter mining th character of the market as prices crumbled. Various weak bull accounts were closed out and the downward movement was accelerated by uncovering of stop loss orders and liquidation by pools which recently have manipulated certain industrial stocks. WOMEN MADE VISITORS. Mrs. V. A. Johnston and Mrs. Gene vieve Cnalkley Named. Governor Stubbs has revived the board of visitation for the state charit able institutions. He has named Mrs. W. A. Johnston, wife of the chief jus tice of the supreme court, and Mrs. Genevieve Chalkley of Lawrence, a woman well known in charitable work, as the new board to visit the state in- I stitutions. When the board of control law was created a provision was made I that two women could be appointed. each to make frequent trips to the dif ferent institutions and make sugges tions to the board of control for the improvement of conditions at the differ ent institutions. Governor Hoch appointed one board. Mrs. W. E. Stanley and Mrs. Cora G. Lewis. After their terms expired no new board was named during Hoch's second term. Governor Stubbs did not make any appointments during- his first term. Mrs. Stubbs will go with the new board on some of its trips.

No Troops for Philippines. Washington. April 18. The departure of all troops now under orders for duty in the Philippines will be delayed six months. This is generally attributed to the situation in Mexico, the presi dent being unwilling to disturb the forces on duty in the south. At the war department it is explained the post ponement is due to a decision to make the tour of service in the Philippines two years" and a half instead of two as at present. This postponement long had been under consideration and the acute Mexican situation seems to have presented an opportunity for putting into effect. PRISONERS ARE ALIVE.

'I never in all my life asked a per son a mayor or councilman for a position." said Mr. Snyder. in tnis appointment for my office I have peti tioned no one and I will make no at tempts to obtain the place. "Instead, I believe t is up to me mayor and commissioners to look over my records and make their decision. I have the books, the pay rolls and the work to show what has been done since I have been street commissioner. This will bear me. up in all I deserve. "If I haven't done my duty as street commissioner, I want to leave the of fice I don't want to hold It any long er.

"Here is the payroll eighteen years ago when Hopkins was street com missioner," said Mr. Snyder. "This record shows that 105 men were employed then and that the city had a street commissioner and five foremen. And the payroll that year ran from $3,700 to $4,500 a month.

"I submit this record and this is the only claim that I have to the street commissionership. I make no demand." upon the mayor and commissioners I ask nothing from them.

One hundred years a church member is the. remarkable record achieved by Mrs. Marie E. Sturgeon of this city, who has Just observed her one hundred and fourth birthday anniversary. Mrs. Sturgeon's record is without a parallel in the United States, it is believed.

In spite of her extreme age, Mrs. Sturgeon is able to read without glasses and boasts that she never has required the services of a physician.

Civilization Surpassing Ancient Egypt Found in Guatemala. New York, April 18. Edgar L. Hewitt, director of the School of American Archaeology, has just re turned to New York from Quirigua, Guatemala, with a glowing report of the American researches there. The diggings at both Quihigua and Copan, he says, have laid bare ancient cities of surpassing splendor, which flourish ed long before the Christian era. The American archaeologists are in complete possession of the ruins of Quirigua. There they have found sculpture as beautiful as any that Egypt or Assyria ever 'boasted, and hieroglyphics even more interesting, but these can scarcely be read at all. Only the system of reckoning time has been deciphered, and the real history is carved on blocks which no man has yet been able to translate. Close study of the masterpieces of antique genus thus far unearthed seems to show a close cultural resem blance between this civilization and that of the races further north, but there is not enough resemblance to prove that there ever was any actual connection of North and South Amer ica before the fall of Rome.

The United States government probably will have to start a European hunt to apprehend several officers and members of the crew of the Greek steamship Athinia, who were arrested and indicted on February 2 5, charged with conspiracy in a widespread plot for smuggling un desirable aliens into this country. The men when arrested all gave bail a to tal of $45,000 for appearance on their ship's next voyage to this side. She is in her dock again today, but manned this time by an entirely new outfit of officers and men. The moment the ship tied up at her pier, a United States attorney went on board to take the indicted men to court. To his surprise, he found the vessel in charge of a completely new set of men. The court will be asked on Monday to declare their bail for feited. The offense is not one extra ditable from Greece, but as the men are all seafarers, the belief Is that they may be arrested as fugitives in some other country. According to the district attorney, some high steamship officials are in volved in the -plot, by which. It is charged, thousands of persons deport able under the law, were landed here. For months before making the first open move, government agents worked obtaining evidence. Some crossed the Atlantic on vessels under suspicion, and in one case an agent went back to Greece as a deported alien. ROBBERS SHOOT OFFICER. Seventeen Shots Exchanged In Battle With Yeggmen.

Police Judge Moved by Pathos From Othello. 1)1 KIT 110BO AN ACTOtt Laughter Stopped When He K peats Hamlet's Soliloquy. Topekau Played With Mansfield, Crosman and Stuart. Kansas City. Mo., April 18. Iago, in a police court. Hamlet charged with vagrancy. Cyrano le Bergerac, a prisoner for leeplng in a barn. Select company, this that appeared tefore Judge E. F. Halstead in the south municipal court, select yet down and out, withal; poorly clad and reek ing with the fumes of whiskv. The morning's docket was almost concluded when two policemen entered leading a shabbily dressed, gray-haired man with several days' growth of beard upon his face, his finger nails In deep mourning. The rusty clothes which had once been black had not seen the pressing iron for months, the linen was soiled, the shoes were worn, the gray hair matted and unkempt. Dissipation marked the man's face, but the eyes were strong and lustrous be tween their puffed and swollen lids. 'Vagrancy, your honor," one of the policemen said, laconically. "We found him sleeoing in a barn." What's your name?" Judge Halstead asked. r-OVBrien," replied the prisoner. "Har ry O'Brien." His hands trembled ner vously. He was evidently in a bad atate. He Was an Actor. "What's your business?" "I am that Is, I have been--an ac tor." A titter ran around the court room when the man added that be had Tlaved with Mansfield, with Henrietta Crosman. with John Griffith; that he bad played Romeo to May Stuart's Juliet. The titter Is because they all say that the hamphatts. They have been plaving with Mansfield since Booth and" Barrett have been so long dead. The prisoner understood and he re sented it. He lifted his head proudly. "I say I am an actor." he retorted. "Would you know when lines are well read if you heard them?" "I am willing to ascertain whether or not I can." Judge Halstead replied dryly. "Do you want to try me out?" With a proud gesture that ill as sorted with his dingy attire the man drew himself up to his, full height. Then he began to recite the famous oliloquy from "Hamlet." At the first words, the laughter died. People who expected to be amused forgot the fun as they craned their necks forward to catch a better glimpse of the speaker. The judge turned in his chair with a look of sur prise. The lawyers became intensely Interested. To sleep? Perchance to dream! Ay. there's the rub!" Mansfield himself never produced a finer effect with the lines. O'Brien had proved his case. But the prisoner did not stop there, His fine, resonant voice changed into the words of Cyrano, as he swaggered through a scene. The speaker forgot the courtroom and the judge. His eyes flashed. His bearing became a strut as he walked up and down be fore the desk. And when he had fin ished a spontaneous burst of applause Ereeted the effort. His Eloquence Won. In spite of themselves men felt their eyes filled with tears, as the derelict, with infinite pathos, repeated the words from' Othello: "Who steals my purse steals trash! 'Tis something; nothing. 'Twas mine; 'ti3 his And has been slave to thousands But he who filches from me my good name Hobs me of that which not enriches him. But makes me poor indeed;'.' "The prisoner is discharged," Judge Halstead said huskily. There was a clapping of hands and somebody passed a hat for a small collection. O'Brien's stage name was Bertrand. He was educated at Washburn college. In Topeka. Many years ago he went to Boston and became a member of the Boston Museum Stock company. Mansfield found him there. DAWSOfHN EARNEST. "Will See That tlie Prohibitory Law Is Enforced. John Dawson, attorney ge neral, and Governor Stubbs had a long confer ence on the liquor situation this morn ing. After the conference, the an nouncement was made that the pro hibitory law was going to be strictly enforced. Last week the governor sent telegrams to some of the counties where the lid had been piied up a lit tle and demanded to know what steps had been taken or were being taken to enforce the law. The governor has been receiving numerous explanations about the lid in these counties ever since. "There Is not going to be any trou ble about the prohibitory law," said the attorney general. "It U going to i MORROW Fresh Salted Peanuts 15c a pound WM. GREEN SON GROCERY CO. TO be enforced and right up to the min ute, too. If the county attorneys and sheriffs in the different counties do not enforce the law, we have an ouster law that is particularly applicable to Just such cases afid we will invoke its aid to getting ofticers who will enforce the law and obey their oaths of office. The governor and I are together on this proposition and we will give each other all the help possible from our offices to do the business. The gov ernor promised me all the help I needed and I assured him that no stone would be left unturned to enforce the laws." NEAR TO A FIGHT. (Continued fiom Page One.) vorce was sought and spent several days there immediately after the suit was filed. She said ths relations be tween Cooper and his wife were not always pleasant and tolri of the trou ble when someone is said to have tak en money from Mrs. Cooper's trunk. "Mrs. Cooper said," the witness testified, "that she would look in the face of the dead man who took the money and that before the New Tear." The witness also recalled a state ment by Mrs. Haley in .which she re gretted the marriage of her daughter to Cooper, as she felt responsible for the match. Mrs. Smith was again called to the stand. She related with emphasis her attempt to borrow $20 from Cooper "to complete the erection of a monument to her daughter." She recommended John as "a generous, kind old gentle man, and a dandy good friend." But Mrs. Smith had few endorsements for the plaintiff. The plaintiff was called to the stand in rebuttal shortly before noon an denied several statements made by the defendant. She was not in the best of humor this morning and told the court about the hardships she endured in the 14 months she lived as Mrs. John G. Cooper. Both sides rested shortly after noon and the remainder of the day will be devoted to arguments of counsel. Three Ante-Xuptlal Contracts. After John G. Cooper left the witness stand late Monday afternoon, the de fense spent much of its time establish ing facts to offset the claims of the plaintiff regarding the ante nuptial con tract and Cooper's parsimonious treat ment of his wife. W. S. Martin, an Overbrook attorney, testified that h drew the ante nuptial contract for Cooper and on cross-examination ad mitted that substantially the same con tract had been prepared when Cooper contemplated his marriage to the "countess." Martin told the court that before Miss Haley signed the contract, that both he and Cooper had explained to the wo man in detail just the property the de fendant owned. He Bald the woman seemed highly satisfied and very will ingly agreed to the terms. After the contracts were signed, he testified, one copy was given to Cooper, one to his wife and Martin kept a copy. He said the property was discussed freely in the Cooper home before the marriage and that Mrs. Haley, Cooper's mother-in-law, had expected to take charge of the Monroe street property as a hoarding house. "How did you happen to come to To peka?'' was asked on cross-examina tion. "Mr. Cooper had written me a week before to come," responded the witness. "When did he mention a contract of employment for Miss Haley?" I can t just say when. "How many of those has he used on other women?" "Two or three to my knowledge." "Hadn't you drawn an ante nuptial agreement for him for the 'countess?' asked McKeever. "I had." "Wasn't it substantially the same as this one?" "It was." "Now, why didn't you list the pro perties he owned in those agree ments?" "Well, it is sometimes done but isn't the best form." "Now, as a lawyer, don't you know it is the only fair way?" Counsel for Cooper objected to this, but Judge Whltcomb over-ruled the objections. Martin then said he con sidered one form as fair as another. "Didn't you fear that if you listed the Cooper properties that she would not sign the agreement?" "No, I didn't think of that." "You say Cooper told you to be fair?" "He did." "But you didn't draw this contract from the memorandum while Cora was present?" "No." "How many ante-nuptial contracts have you drawn for Cooper? "About three. I think." Mrs. A. M. Eldson was called after Martin left the stand. She said she attended the Cooper wedding with her husband. The night of the wedding, Mrs. Eidson testified. Mrs. Cooper worried for fear her brother would not attend the wedding. She told Mrs. Eidson that her brother didn't believe she was about to marry a rich old man and that she wanted to con vince him. Then one night Mrs. Eid son went to the Cooper home and Mrs. Cooper stayed in her room the entire evening and did not receive her. She never returned. Mrs. Florence Ferguson was a friend of Mrs. Haley and said she was sure Mrs. Cooper and John were in love when they were married. she went to the Cooper home the day af ter the baby was born. As she was on the porch, someone locked the door. Mrs. Ferguson went home never to return. O. M. Lyons was a frequent visitor at the home. He said Mrs. Cooper once told him over the telephone, "Ly ons, if I had hold of you I'd wring your neck." He thought Mrs. Cooper ob jected to her husband's dealing In Tex as land. On cross-examination he said John's Texas experience had been rath er expensive and that perhaps Mrs. Cooper was right. Several witnesses were called to show that Cooper allowed his wife to buy goods at the stores on his credit. These parties testified that Cooper extended this credit before leaving for Texas trips and that while John was in town, he usually bought the goods himself. The Coopers usually paid cash and Mrs. Cooper was loath to ask credit except when her husband was away from home. T?ational Academy of Science Meets. Washington, April 18.

DO NOTWANT IT. Western Towns Shy of State Tuberculosis Hospital. No Applications Have Yet Been Filed. SEEK THE OTHER ONE. Eleven Places in Contest for In sane Asylum. State Board of Control Is in a Quandary. Are the western Kansas towns afraid of the tuberculosis hospital? The indications are that the answer to this question is an affirmative one as not a single town has made a for mal request for the hospital or even indicated to the state officers that the location of the hospital near any town would be desired. There are eleven towns that want the new insane hos pital which the board of control ex pects to establish within a few weeks and all of these towns are now mak ing propositions to the board of con trol to secure the location of the hos pital. There promises to be a red hot fight with numerous attractive bids to get the insane hospital. The legis lature appropriated one hundred thousand dollars for the building and maintenance of the Insane hospital for the two fiscal years. The appropriation for the tuber culosis hospital is fifty thousand dol lars. It is believed that about thirty thousand dollars will be spent for the building and grounds. This amount would be sufficient to build a hospital large enough to meet the present needs but as soon as its value is estab lished additions will have to be made. Some time ago it was announced that Colby would be a candidate for this institution and that the citizens of that town had joined with the citizens of Hill City on a deal to get the tuber culosis hospital for Colby and the in sane hospital for Hill City. Since that news crept out nothing has been heard about the tuberculosis hospital. Must Be in Western Section. Under the law the tuberculosis in stitution must be located in the ex treme western part of the state. There are many points where the climatic conditions are excellent for this insti tution and where plenty of land could be secured and where there is good water in abundance. The institution is to treat tuberculosis patients and also to train nurses and others how to care for tuberculosis patients and to work out experiments for the best ways to care for patients and to pre vent the spread of the disease. The institution is to be located by a commission of physicians and the gov ernor and is then to be under the di rection of the board of control of state charitable institutions. The board of control must also give its consent to the location, but the physi cians to be appointed by the governor are to determine the best location for the institution. The bids for the location from the various towns are to be sent to the board of control and whenever Gov ernor Stubbs appoints the committee of physicians the bids will be taken up by the board and this commission and the different proposed sites visited. State officials are doing consider able wondering as to the reason why there isn't as much of a scramble for this institution as there is for the In sane hospital. Usually the Kansas towns work overtime to get new insti tutions of any kind and here is one which will become one of the largest and most Important In the state which is going begging for a site. The only strings to the location is that it must be in western Kansas and have good water and climatic condi tions. Any town west of Hutchinson can comply with the climatic condi tions and there are at least a dozen towns with sufficient railroad facili ties where good water can be obtained in large quantities to fulfill any con ditions which the commission and the board of control might require. EDDY SUIT GOES OVER. Action Postponed In Both Federal and Slain Courts. Concord, N. H., April 18. Litiga tion over the will of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church, has been postponed by action in both the state and the federal courts. In the United States circuit court. In the suit of Dr. E. J. Foster-Eddy, of Waterbury, Vt.. adopted son of Mrs. Eddy, attacking the validity of the residuary clause of the will, counsel for Executor Henry M. Baker and the other defendants filed a demurrer at tacking the complainant on several grounds. In the Merrimack county superior court counsel for George W. Glover, in his suit of a similar character, filed an amendment to their bill asserting that the residuary clause of the will should be declared invalid because it Is indefinite, their contention being that no one knows precisely what the Christian Science religion is. They also protested against the admission as parties to the case of persons, al leged relatives of Mrs. Eddy, who have asked leave to intervene. A new figure appeared in the litiga tion when counsel for George W. Glover's son. George W. Glover, jr.. notified Chief Justice Walace, of the superior court, that they would short ly file a motion for leave to Intervene in Glover's suit. They said they would base their action on the ground that George W. Glover, jr., was ft minor when the deeds of settlement were executed between' his father and Dr. Foster-Eddy and Mrs. Eddy, and that if the court should declare the resi duary clause of the will invalid, but bar Messrs. Glover and Eddy from a share in the residue because of this agreement, the property should go to George W. Glover, jr., as next of kin. Edward A. Mosley Dead. Washington. April 18. Edward A.

Daughter-in-Law of French Ex-President to Appear on American Stage. New York. A nHi if Am,-;..., i see under the glare of the footlights one of France's most widely known w-ornen, Madame Le Bargy. It was she who captured the dashing M. Cas-Imer-Perler, son of the most brilliant ex-president France has ever known. It was because at this marriage and the later domestic troubles that the ex-president was brought to a prema ture grave through worry. Right on the heels of "the announce ment that Llebler Co. are to bring oimone, as the former Mme. le Bargy now stvles horsoif hc try next season to plav in the English language, comes the important news that Henri Bernstein is to write a new play that is to serve to introduce the great Flench actress to American au diences, and that it is to be played here even before it is staged in France. Ever since Mme. Simone's stage debut, her career has been closely re lated to that of Bernstein. An inti mate friend of Mme. Bernhardt's, Mme. Simone took up theatrical work nine years aero hv ,?-i,. nf ya nirioi. actress. Herself absolutely unknown, she dared to present herself in one of Paris' leading theaters in a play by an unknown dramatist, Henri Bernstein. The morning after the first perform ance of Le Detour," an actress and a playwright awoke to find themselves famous. Naturally. Bernstein has ever since felt himself indebted to his discoverer. and his greatest plays have been de signed for her exploitation. It was for Mme. Simone that "The Thief was written, and the plays we know- as "The Whirlwind" and "The Re demption of Evelyn Vaudray." While it is not altogether impossible that arrangements may be made by which Mme. Simone may give some performances of "The Thief" in Eng lish, the new Bernstein play will be the piece de resistance of her reper toire. Presumably, Louis N. Parker, author of, "Pomander Walk," who has so frequently proved him.ielf the most adroit of adapters, will be entrusted with the work of preparing the new play for American audiences. i In connection with Mme. Simone s intention of playing in English, it may be mentioned that she has already done so with great success in London. The English critics declare that there was not a trace of the accent and false rhythm that have marred the English of other celebrated foreign actresses who have attempted this feat. More over, it is claimed for Mme. Simone that she can act in German with the same ease that she displays in Eng lish and her native tongue. When Mme. Simone comes to this country, M. Casimer-Perier, son of one of France's most brilliant ex-presidents will accompany her. CARTER HARRISON IS MAYOR. Xew Aldermen Also Installed in Chi cagoAll But One Democrats. Anrii IK Partpr TT.

STOCKS A hard drive at Missouri Pacific was the feature of the opening of the stock market today, the stock closing 1. A number of other railroad issues receded in sympathy with this movement although the losses were small. Interborough Metropolitan preferred lost 1. Traders attacked the fertilizer issues vigorously again and forced them down over a point. The persistent liquidation in this quarter and the lack of support to Missouri Pacific disturbed confidence to some extent and there was some show of weakness to the standard stocks. Prices fell steadily during the morning session, in which trading was the most active of any day for several weeks; bear traders, encouraged by the success of their drive against Missouri Pacific en larged their operations and forced reces sions throughout the list. Missouri Pa cific declined 2 to 45, the lowest of the year.- The latest news from Mexico was a. factor in today's operations, the selling movement being encouraged by belief that a serious crisis is imminent. Selling of Interborough Metropolitan was inspired by development indicating that the company may not be the successful bidder for the construction of new sub ways. Losses of a point or thereabouts were pretty general in the active list. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie and National Biscuit broke 3 points, American Cotton Oil 2, Virginia Caro lina Chemical 2 and Federal Sugar 2. The bond market was Irregular. Selling subsided for a while after 12 o'clock and the loss rallied a small frac tion and became very dull. Iater on the market relapsed to its low level.
