FROM OLDJO NEW Change In the Government of Mexico Is Accomplished. Without Any Disturbance and With Great Rejoicing. DIAZ IS MUCH BETTER. He Hopes to Sail for Europe by End of Month. New Administration Starts With 60,400,000 in Cash. Mexico City, May 26. Senor De La Barra, on the occasion of talcing the oath as provisional president of Mexi co today, was escorted from the na tional palace to the chamber of depu ties, where the oath of office was ad ministered by the members of the staff of former President Diaz. The staff of ficials had resigned days ago but had asked permission to escort the provis ional president to the scene of his in auguration. The new chief executive was accompanied by General E. Ras con who took the oath as minister of war earlier in the day. Most of the distinguished personages in the capital were present, including the diplomatic corps in full regalia headed by the American ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson, the dean of the corps. Owing to the fact that Mexica City was orderly throughout the night de spite the magnitude of the crowd which celebrated the change in administra tion, these men this morning prepared to resume their occupations on a nor mal basis. Shutters were removed from the win dows for the first time In two days and the morning sunlight, like a good omen, cast its rays through the open facings of the buildings, brightening considerably the appearance of the bus iness districts. A large crowd gathered about the chamber of deputies cheering for Senor De La Barra and General Madero, while the oath was being ad ministered. It is now regarded as cer tain that Alfredo Robles Dominguez, Madero' s representative here and who Is virtually the military commander of the federal district, win nut mm i essary to call in the revolutionary forces from the cities of Cuernavaca and Pachuca for the purpose of main taining order. The police and soldiers are acting under the direction of Senor Dominguez with as much readiness as If they had never known another su peri jt. Diaz Is Better. General Diaz's condition was report ed as improved this morning. The in flammation In his face is said to have subsided greatly and the fever to have disappeared. Members of the retired president's family expressed the belief that he will be able to sail for Europe from Vera Cruz by the last of the month. General Enrique Torroella, sub director of the military college, today was appointed chief of staff to Provis ional President De La Barra. Before resigning his office yesterday s minister of finance, Jose Yves Liman tour exhibited to Jaime Guerza. the new subsecretary of the treasury, $60, 400,000 in gold in the vaults of the treasury. Senor Liroantour turned over all the government funds in his pos session, taking Senor Guerza's receipt. The passing of President Diaz last night was one of the most dramatic events In the recent history of Mexico. The venerable ruler was still confined to his palace, which was hedged about with strong guards of mounted police and soldiers while across the Zocalo, machine guns were masked ready to deal with any further outbreaks such as that of the night before. Excitement Was Intense. Popular excitement was at a high pitch but was held in check by the patriotic appeals of Madero's personal representative. Senor Dominguez, for the maintenance of order and the dig nity of the cause. Crowds surged about the chamber of deputies waiting word of Diaz's final action. Inside the chamber there was an impressive scene as President Diaz's letter, finally and completely relinquishing the reins of power, was presented and accepted, followed by the presentation of and ac ceptance of Vice President Corral's resignation. Immediately word was carried to the waiting crowds outside, which broke Into wild demonstrations of en thusiasm accompanied by the clanging of the great bell In the cathedral and a salute of cannon. Surging masses of people paraded the streets carrying banners or emblems of Madero with wreaths of flowers and other symbols of the final success of the revolution. Here and there, there were scattered affrays but in the main the demonstra tion was one of approval and rejoicing. Francisco Leon De La Barra took up the reins of government in an open let ter addressed to the Mexican people, acknowledging his election as pro visional president and declaring his purpose not to be a candidate for either r resident or vice president when a gen eral election should be called. The en tire cabinet of President Diaz followed the action of Its chief in presenting their resignation. Thus was the riot ous demonstration of the night before followed quickly by the orderly and en thusiastic transition from the old Diaz regime to the new one. MADERO SMILES When lie Reads the Story of President Diaz's Resignation. Juarez, Mex., May 26. With a smile on his face. Ftancisco I. Madero jr., sat under a cottonwood tree beside an irrigation ditch that winds by his house and eagerly read the morning paper dispatches from Mexico City telling of the resignation of Diaz. He could not restrain a smile as he noted President Diaz's comment that he knew of no fact chargeable to him which should have caused the revul sion of feeling against him. To an Associated Press representative who was present he said he preferred not to comment on President Diaz's letter He gave the Impression he could not agree with its contents. As to Senor De La Barra's letter stating that he would not be a candi date for president or vice president the rebel leader was greatly pleased' ft n Horlarrl ht wm.U i- "u a mani festo later today commending Senor mv i-t i a. yjii ma puDllc Spirit. Senor Madero has great confidence in Senor De La Barra and to his callers today lauded the honesty and integrity of Mexico's acting president. Messages continued to pass between the two men today with respect to the prolongation of the present session of congress and the time for holding the general elections. It had been sug gested to Senor Madero that some time in November would be a suitable occasion, but the rebel chief favors a much earlier date, perhaps Septem ber, though many of his friends think It ought to be held within thirty days. Senor De La Barra, it is expected, will respect the wishes of Senor Madero in the matter, and it is not at ail unlikely that the point will not be decided until the latter reaches Mexico City. Plans for the Journey to Mexico City were begun in earnest 'today and the expectation is that Monday will be the day of departure. Reports of the re pairing of the railroad due south from here are not favorable and Senor Ma dero is loath to think he may be com pelled to leave Mexican territory to travel via San Antonio, Texas, and Laredo In reaching the national cap ital.

PLENTY OP TEACHERS TOW. Twelve Hnndred Men and Women Taking the Examinations. With 1,200 young men and women taking the examinations in the normal courses of the high schools this year the shortage of school teachers In Kan sas ought to be a thing of the past. There were 128 high schools In the state last winter with the normal course Some 30 schools have since been added to this list, for next year, so there ought to be plenty of teachers In the future. The legislative idea of placing the normal course in high schools ha3 been successful and has the endorsement of the citizens of the state generally. Members of the last legislature from the smaller counties were enthusiastic over the plan and declared that it had the endorsement of the folks at home as first on the list of legislative enact ments of the past ten years. FAST AUTO RIDE IN VAXV. Death Wins Race With Motor Car Al though Victim Lived Short Time. Wichita, Kan., May 26. A mid night ride in an automobile driven as fast as it would go over country roads between this city and Augusta did not save the life of Ernest Walker, 27 years old, of Augusta, who died at the Wichita hospital. Death was caused by peritonitis. A week ago Mr. Walker was stricken with acute appendicitis. His Illness became so serious that the attending physicians decided to take him to a hospital. The rupture of an abscess produced Peritonitis. The invalid was conscious until 30 minutes before he died. 'DROPPING THE PILOT." GUILTY OF HERESY. Rev. Dr. W. I. Grant Is Suspended From the Ministry. Atlantic City, May 26. The Rev. Dr. Wm. D. Grant of Northumberland, Pa., has been found erailtv'of heresv bv the commission "which heard the charges made against him. The commission re- I ported Its findings to the Presbyterian assembly this morning. The commis sion found that Dr. Grant "taught doc trines contrary to the word of God in the Bible and the Presbyterian confes sion of faith." He is held to be guilty under the rules of the Presbyterian book of discipline and the commission recommends that Dr. Grant be sus pended from exercising the functions of a minister of the Presbyterian church until such time as "he can convince his own Presbytery, that of Northumber land, that he has renounced the errors he has been found to hold and to sat isfy the Presbytery of his purpose to no longer teach them." A motion to adopt the report and confirm the Judgment of the commis sion was put to a vote In the assembly and was carried overwhelmingly with out debate. There were only a few scattered "noes." In sustaining the charge that Dr. Grant had In writing and sermons dis credited the deity of Christ, the com mission found that in his teachings Dr. Grant had failed to ascribe to the son of God all the attributes owing to him which could not belong to the holiest and wisest of men. Sustaining the charge that Dr. Grant had in writings and sermons discredited the doctrine of Christ's mediatorial office, the commission found that he had advanced Ideas tending to weaken and disparage faith in such a doctrine or the need for it The commission found that he had at various time impugned the veracity of the Bible's teachings and had made statements which tended to divest the words of holy writ of their authority. After stating that Dr. Grant was un doubtedly guilty of an offense under the rules of the book of discipline, the report said: "While the commission does not question the right of any man to in terpret the scriptures as he pleases, yet we do not think he should teach doc trines contrary to the confession of faith and yet remain In the Presby terian church." Though the decision was at first a crushing blow to friends of Dr. Grant the judgment which leaves It up to his own presbytery to. reinstate him, thai body having already acquitted him once and being obviously favorable to him, somewhat took the sting out of the apparent harshness of the verdict. It was pointed out by his friends that there is nothing to prevent Dr. Grant from appealing to his presbytery at its very next meeting and by making a statement recanting any views that might be taken to attack the basic doctrines of the church be reinstated within a short time. The word "here sy" was not used In the report of the commission either in the summing up or the final judgment. Dr. Grant was present when the re port of the committee was read. Be fore a vote was called for his chief counsel. Dr. J. Gray Bolton, of Phila delphia, asked to be allowed to read a statement for Dr. Grant. Dr. Bolton not being a member of the assembly his request was declared out of or der. The statement, which was in the na ture of an affirmation cf faith in the great doctrine of the church, follows: "Pew men have suffered as much for their beloved church as I have suffer ed, for the church of my fathers I reverently and lovingly bow to its de cision. I do now affirm as I have many times affirmed during these proceedings my unqualified faith In my blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in his diety, virgin birth, resurrection and media torial work and in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the Infalli ble rule of faith and life. I have never knowingly taught anything contrary to the above declarations. "Some of the statemer.ts I have made In my articles, I can now see, are sub ject to misconstruction, but if I cannot preach the great doctrines of grace, as given us In the New Testament In the Presbyterian church. I ought to leave her ministry. "But I trust-lt shall be my privilege and joy to continue to proclaim those doctrines as long as God shall give me strength to do so." HE MAY LOSE A LEG. J. W. Atkinson More Seriously Injured Than at First Thought. Denver, May 26. J. W. Atkinson, the wealthy contractor of Colorado Springs, who was accidentally shot Wednesday night when Harold Henwood turned his revolver loose In an effort to shoot S. L. Von Phul, .was more seriously in jured than at first thought The bullet that entered his leg shattered the bone, and amputation may be necessary al though this can not be determined at present. Torn photographs of Henwood, bear ing his autograph, and believed to have been given by him to a prominent Den ver matron, were found In Von Phul's pocket. It is the theory of the police that they were secretly removed from the woman's home by Von Phul and that their exhibition to Henwood by Von Phul started the row that resulted in Von Phul's death. It is known that the two men came to blows in Von Phul's room a day or two before the tragedy. THEY VISIT THE KING. Admiral Badger and His Captains Call on Danish Monarch. Copenhagen, May 26.

KISSED BY THE WOMEN He Is Showered With Roses Fol lowing His Arrival. The People Carry Him Away on Their Shoulders. Madrid, May 26. Pierre Vedrlne, the French aviator, arrived at the Span ish capital from Burgos at 8:06 this morning, being the first contestant to complete the third stage of the Paris Madrid aviation race. He covered the distance of 140 miles between Madrid and Burgos where he landed yesterday from St. Sebastian in two hours and 45 minutes. Gilbert and Garros are still stalled in the mountain fastnesses and It Is not probable they will be able to finish within the time limit Vedrine on landing at the Getare aerodrome jumped from his aeroplane and flung himself on the ground to rest A frantic crowd soon rushed up. however, and bore the victorious avia tor on their shoulders to the tribunal. On reaching the judges' platform he was showered with roses and kissed repeatedly by women. Later on complaining tnat ne was stui numb from his flight he was removed to an infirmary where he received med ical attention and a short but much needed rest On reappearing at the aerodrome the Frenchman smilingly delivered the messages which he hac brought with him from Paris and was congratulated on his magmnceni nigni by the civil governor of Madrid on be half of King Alfonso. Vedrlne left the suburbs of Burgos In idoal weather and flew over Aranda de Duero. 48 miles south of Burgos, at a good height and great speed. At Bocequlllas where the airman was greeted by a great crowd of wildly ahontlnr neasants. Vedrine buckled down to the task of crossing the dread ed Somo Sierra pass, whlcn is 4,uo iet high. Higher and higher he climbed until he had attained an altitude of 6,500 feet. The aviator then straight as an arrow flew over the crags and snow capped peaks until he reached the Immense plains of San Augustin. Having left the mountain ranges be hind him, Vedrine dropped closer to the earth and finally reached the aerodrome at Cetafe. where he alighted with the greatest ease, amid the plaudits of thousands cf enthusiastic spectators. Vedrine said he, like Gibert, also was attacked in midair by a large eagle. The Incident happened -while the- aeroplane was passing over the Sierra De Guadarrama, a chain of mountains In Castile, one of the peaks of which attains an elevation of 7,900 feet. The eagle, which was a huge creature, seemed furious against the man-bird, and swooped down again and again trying to reach the airman's face with Its powerful beak. Vedrlne's greatest fear was that his attention would be diverted, which would cause him to lose control of his machine. Finally the aviator outmaneuvered and lost his feathered foe by swiftly dipping and rising to new levels. The Parls-to-Madrid raco was be gun May 21 under the auspices of the Petit Parislen, which offered a prize of 320.000. In addition, the Spanisn Aero club gave prizes amounting to 10.000 and King Alfonso ottered a special prize for the fastest speed over the Spanish section. The jour ney was divided Into three stages, Paris to Angouieme, Angouieme to San Sebastian and San Sebastian to Madrid, a total distance of about 600 miles. Twenty machines were entered for the race, but as a result of the tragic accident when the start was made from the Issy-Les-Moulineaux aviation field, which resulted in the death of M. Berteaux. the French minister or war, and the serious injury to Pre mier Monis, all but three of the avi ators withdrew. Of these three Pierre Vedrlne, who reached the Spanish cap ital this morning, was the favorite. He covered the first stage of the contest 279 miles. In 3 hours and 39 minutes, breaking all records for a long dis tance country flight. On the second stage, between An gouieme and San Sebastian, Vedrine had a narrow escape from death. One nf the nlanes of his machine grazed the peak of a huge rock near the Spanish town or j-uenierr&Dia, Al though the plane was bent, Vedrine continued his flight and safely reached San Sebastian. The distance of the second leg of the contest was about 200 miles. The third stage of the journey, San Sebastian to Madrid, was the most dif ficult of the entire flight. The 266 miles of the route was almost entirely over desolate ranges, the cragi varying from 1.000 to 6.000 feet In height A fall meant certain death and it was practically impossible to make a rresn start in the mountainous country. SHOCK FELT 30 MILES. Giant Meteor Falls on a Mountain In California. Doyle, Cal., May 26. The fall of a giant meteor early this morning caused consternation throughout Lassen coun t The shock, when the blazing mis sile struck Tule mountain, was felt for thirty miles, causing the earth to tremble as though from an earth quake. CIRCUS RIDER WHIPS THH.FB. Death Defler Leaves Act to Whip Three Rowdies. Wellington, Kan., May 26. Diavalo, the Death Defying Dare Devil, who loops-the-loori each evening at the car nival put on an extra stunt when be gave an exhibition of Pugilistic Pul verizing that was not on the bills, much to the joy and entertainment of the sp3ctators. For some time before he made his loop-the-loop act Diavalo had stood the joshing and bantering of three fellows who were trying to pick a fuss with him. They dared him to come outside the rope, and made him all kinds of rough talk. Divalo went on about his business, giving them no heed until he got ready for them. Finally, Just be fore he was ready for his act, one of the fellows said,. "Come out hfcre, you dub. ana you 11 never loop any more loops." The words were hardly finished before Diavalo was out there, not only as a Death Defler. but also as a Death Dealer, and within the time mentioned three bruised and bleeding forms were being not too tenderly dragged outside the curtails of the tent. HE IS STILL HOPEFUL. La Follette Has Not Given Up the Fight on Lorimer. Washington. May 26. The Lorimer case, temporarily sidetracked in the senate but considered in Democratic caucus, promises to be threshed out on tne floor today. There is a strong im pression that the Martin Democrat resolution, perhaps modified in some of its details, will Anally be adopted. The regular Republicans, powerless to control the situation themselves, are said to prefer the Democrat proposi tion to that of Senator La Follette. Party lines will be split when the test comes, but a reinvestigation of Sena tor Lorlmer's election Is assured. Senator La Follette still hoped to day to secure the adoption of his reso lution providing for an investigation by a committee of new members of the senate. He had the floor privilege and purposed concluding the speech that he had been making in install ments for several days. There was no business of Impor tance for the house to consider today. Democratic leaders, after the disposi tion of some formal business matters, determined early in the day on an other recess until Tuesday. Thus again avoiding the discharge calen dar on Monday. This calendar Is heavily laden with motions to discharge committees on Im portant bills which the Democrats do not want to consider at this session. All the discharge motions have been placed on the calendar by Republicans. They may be called up on Monday, but thus far the Democrats have bridged over tne Mondays and avoided legisla tive measures not on their program. Next Tuesday there may be another adjournment until the following Fri day. LOST IN THE DESERT. A Girl Wanders Two Days Over the Sands of the Mojave. San Francisco. May 26.

May 26 "Knockout" Brown, the little East side lightweight, stopped Tommy Murphy, of Brooklyn, Thursday night In 40 seconds o the first round of a bout scheduled to go 10 rounds, before the Madison Athletic club. There was no preliminary -sparring. The men went together with a rush, tho awkward Brown letting loose and swinging his right hand for the ribs. Murphy poked out his long left and for a moment straightened up Brown. Knockout, however, carried the fight to Murphy, rushing him along the ropes 1 to a neutral corner. Both men clinched and exchanged rights and lefts to head and body. Breaking away, Brown again rushed and catching Murphy a wicked right in the stomach, brought him down almost to his knees. Quick as a flash Brown ripped In a wicked left uppercut fairly on the long protruding chin of Mur phy and down he went with a crash. Murphy fell like a plummet, but quickly rose to his feet, not waiting the referee's count. Brown was at onco upon him again, and with a terrlfio right to the head and another left up percut he again floored the Brooklyn man. There was no need now for the count. Murphy was out and Brown, a moment later, was on his way to his dressing room. KERNS SIGNS WITH HOLLAND. Backstop Released by Kaws Catches on With St. Joseph. "Butch" Kerns, the catcher released by the Kaws, went over to St. Joseph yesterday and last night accepted Hoi land's offer and signed his contract. Holland needed a backstop badly and Kerns most likely will make him a good man as long as the club goes good. "Butch" thinks it a crime to play on ii losing club and that a player is never given credit for his own good work as long as a club loses.

MARRIED FIFTY YEARS. Mr. and Sirs. C. G. Fox' Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary. Carbondale. Kan., May 26. Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Fox entertained at their golden wedding anniversary, six miles northeast of Carbondale. They are pioneers of Osage county, having lived there since 1861. This the second goldeu wedding celebrated in this house, that of his parents several years ago being the first. The singing by Miss Anna Noll, of Osage City, was very much en Joyed by all; also a recitation by Miss Gladys Ferryman, of Ponca City, Okla., and a reading of the family history by Rev. Dwlght H. Piatt, of Overbrook Congregational church. Two grand daughters served at the punch bowl. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served to about 75 friends and relatives. All reported It a very enjoyable affair. Many beautiful and valuable gifts were presented to these estimable people. Those present from out of the county were: Mr. and Mri H. E. Fox, of Albuquerque, N. M.; Mr. J. C. Fox, of Atchison, Kan.; Mr. E. H. Fox, of Des Moines, Ia. Mr. Harry "Fox, of Wichita, Kan.; Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Fox, of Oakland, CaL; Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Ferryman and daughters, Gladys, Hattie and Ollie, of Ponca City, Okla., Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Morrow and daugh ters, Helen and Ruth, and son. Charles, of Auburn, Kan., and Mrs. O. Shaul and daughter Pearl of Topeka. 'Twas in life's insy morning fifty years ago; That happy and hopeful, loving and loved, you took each other by the hand, and pledged to God; to kindred and to friends, that you would walk life's devious ways, as loyal help meets, loving together. To you, it only seems a little time since then. How like a passing day of shine and shadow. Since that sacred pledge was made. And yet! a half a century lies between that happy hour and this. How few, how very few, whose lives like hurrying streams unite, to flow as one, down through the vales of life. Enjoy such unison of grace divine as makes and marks this blessed hour. A half a hundred years of faithful min istry of each to each: of constant toil ing side by side, of heavy, tearful walk in sorrow's vale. Of happy trippings over hills of Joy. Has all the nearer and dearer, made you to each other. How well and faithfully you each have kept the sacred promises of fifty years ago is told by every circumstance which crowds and crowns, and sanctifies this golden anniversary. But friends beloved, your fifty years of voyaging o'er life's restless ocean have their changes many. You are nearing port, freighted with blessed memories, and strengthened by un wavering faith. The narrowing remnant of life's swift insetting tide will soon he passed. And you shall love and walk together in endless, fadeless life, as you have loved and walked through this. And so we wish you joy, constant. and unalloyed, as from this anniversary you wend your way through, sunset shadows, down the steeps of life, and toward the gate of the Immortal, we wish you joy. Fifty years of wedded life Faithful husband, faithful wife. May the years that still remain Know no sorrow, bring no pain. And when they shall all be told In that city paved with gold. In that house not made by hands By life's stream with silver sands May you still united be,- 2 Even through eternity.

New York, May 26. If there is an ex perienced aviator of American birth re siding in America or abroad who has an aeroplane speedy enough to put it in the international cup class, the Aero Club of America would like to hear from him. He will have an ex cellent chance of appointment to mem bership in the American team for the contest in England on July 1. Henry Weymann, who is now flying in France, has been formally offered a place on the team but declined. England's selection of July 1 as tha date for the race Is regarded by the Aero club officials as the underlying cause for the difficulty America has in getting a team. Most of the aviators in this country are too busy with summer exhibitions to go abroad for the event at this time. Had the race come in Oc tober as in the two previous years, it is believed that there would have been many candidates for the team. He's Paying Back the Money. Since C. J. Price, son of wealthy par ents, was arrested six weeks ago on a charge of passing bogus checks, the young man has been making restitution by repaying the money -with the salary received from his own labors. The case against young Price is still pending on the docket in the county court, but to day it was advanced to July 15. Since the action was brought. Price found a. position and has each week turned his money over to an attorney to offset money received on checks given to To peka merchants. When the checks were protested at a local bank Price was arrested for the first time in his life. He immediately promised to re pay the money and is making good tho promise with his own labors. New York, May 26. There were fat pickings for two professional ram blers who came over on the Lusltania, in today. One passenger reported that I in four days the (ramblers picked up 114,000 and that one of their victims lost $1,000 in an hour. "I've lived almost my life In parts of the west." said this passenger, "where gambling is wide open, but I never saw such quick action at poker. Play usually began in the smoking room at 11 o'clock at night and lasted until 3 or 4 in the morning. "The pigeons could evidently afford their plucking, and as it was none of my business, I did not interfere." The steamship officers keep a sharp lookout for professional gamblers, but occasionally an unknown chevalier of fortune makes a smashing coup. KINDNESS BRINGS RETURNS. Atchison Man Receives Checks Front Chicago Millionaire Atchison, Kan., May 26. In pay ment for a kindness forty years ago A. S. Trude. a Chicago millionaire, is making substantial gift of money to Charles Kroening, who conducts a small refreshment stand hera. Kroen ing was in the grocery business here for a number of years, but was a. poor man when he closed his business out some time ago. Forty-three years ago Kroening was in the retail business in Chicago. His partner was A. S. Trude. Shortly after that Kroening came to Atchison and has been here ever since. After he had closed out his grocery business, he was in Chicago and went to see Trude, who recognized him im mediately, and asked him (Kroening) how his finances were. Kroening re plied that they were not very good, and Trude wrote him a check for one hundred dollars and told him when ever he needed any more, to write. So, whenever Kroening needs money he writes to Trude and gets a check by return mail. Trude has written Kroen ing several letters, in which he tells his former partner to consider the checks a return for kindness shown when the two were partners. FORBES' FIELD IS PERFECT. No Home Runs Over Fence at Pirates Home Possible Now. Pittsburg, Pa., May 26. A needed im- t nrnvement anrl an innovation at Forbe's field, Pittburg's million dollar i baseball grounds, will greet fans today when the Pirates open a series of games at home. While the team was in the east the massive concrete walls In left field were dynamited and rebuilt 20 feet further out. Away in the out field an electrical score board-Jiaa been installed. From a seat in the grand stand behind the catcher, the operator will be abl3 to flash on the board ball1; and strike, number of the batter and sundry other details of the game. The extension to left field makes Forbes field well nigh perfect. Hits over the fence were frequent. Finally the club officers negotiated for a strip of Schenly park. As the park was given to the people of Pittsburg "for the benefit of the public and the useful endeavors of art and science," it was up to those interested to prove to the councilmanic committee that base ball was an art and science. This was apparently easy, as official approval to the sale of the necessary ground waa forthcoming. WOMEN STAND IN POST HOLE. Mother and Daughter Relieve Each Other in Pole Fight. New York, May 26. At dawn today. Mrs. Catherine Pelieger was standing, neck deep in a pot hole in front of the lawn of her mother's home at Union Course, Queensborough, while half a dozen laborers were waiting nearby for her to come out so that they might plant an electric light pole at the spot where she was standing. She had re lieved her mother, Mrs. Peter Schelreth at 7:30 o'clock last night. Mrs. Schelreth entered the post hole at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning shortly before the gang of workmen ar rived. She had protested against the erection of the pole but a permit had been granted notwithstanding her ob jections. She then declared that she and her daughter would stand in tha hole as long as necessary to prevent the erection of the pole. The chief of police was appealed to and announced that he would arrest the first person who attempted vio lence. Mrs. Schelreth fainted when she left the post hole last night. FORTUNE IN JEWELS FOUND. Solewsky Found Them Shortly After I They Were Lost, Detroit, Mich.. May 26. A black hand satchel containing $50,000 in diamonds and jewelry lost on Jefferson avenue on May 11, by Mrs. Waldo A. Avery, wife of a wealthy local business man, was restored to her husband by Anthony A. Selewsky, who says he found the jewels a short time after they were lost. Selewsky, a local bicycle dealer, 30 years of age, will receive a reward of $1,000. Private detectives were employed by Mr. Avery and it was not until this week that the loss was made public WHITE HOPE IS SOUGHT. Twenty-Three Heavyweights Meet to Decide Which Is "Possible."

The news la received In The State Jour nal building over wlrea for this aole pur. pose. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAT. Subscribers of the State Journal kway from home during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cents a month (by mail only). Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a dally letter from home. Advance payment Is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses, Think, of what a disaster it would have beeh if that wreck of a Buffalo Bill show train had twisted off Col. Cody'a goatee. "Susie" and "Baldy," two simians In the New York zoo. are not the only monkeys who have shaken hands with a president of the United States. Once more does evidence come to the front that there is nothing in a same. Mr. and Mrs. Love of White Plains, N. T., have Just been di vorced. Don't forget to subscribe your mite to the fund which is being raised for a big public Fourth of July celebra tion which will be of the safe and sane variety. Misery loves company. Says the Atchison Globe: Still, Wichita can take it from Atchison that It is pos sible to be a rattling good town with out a professional ball club. Oklahoma bank robbers are even niftier than, those who have operated in Kansas. Two of them recently tapped a bank safe at Albany, Okla., In broad daylight and got away with $2,000 in cash. It's a good thing for his reputation that Dave Leahy is known to be in Kansas. Else that story from Wyom ing of an enraged bull chasing a girl to the top of a narrow flight of stairs would surely be charged to his ac count.' Mr. Carnegie says he Is paying no attention to the steel business these days. Presumably the dividends on the $200,000,000 or $300,000,00 worth of stock and bonds of the steel com panies which Mr. Carnegie owns, are coming in with unerring regularity. What have Hobson and his jingo friends to say to this? Japan, it is stated on reliable authority, la anx ious and willing to participate In ne gotiations for a general treaty of ar bitration with the United States .sim ilar to those which are- being -nego tiated between the United States, and England, and the United States and" Prance. That the field for missionary work of the home variety is a large one is made evident by a report submitted to the general assembly of the Pres byterian church. It shows that in- the state of Colorado alone there are one hundred settlements having pop ulations all the way from 100 to 1,000 which are without Christian ministra tions of any kind, either Protestant or "Roman Catholic Similar condi tions prevail In a dozen other states. Now that peace has been declared In Mexico, there is more fighting and plundering than ever by many bands of revolutionists In several sections of the country. It Is Insisted that they are In such out of the way places that It has been Impossible to inform them of the peace pact. Still It doesn't seem to be difficult to get. news from them of their depredations. And it ought to be as easy to 'get word to them as it Is from them. But the chances are that easy plundering is more to their liking than peace. Jobbers are demanding a cut In the prioe of steel bars. And a report has it that representatives of the .United States Steel company and a number of the so-called "independent" manu facturers are to hold a conference soon to determine -whether er not such a reduction shall be made. Unless this report Is erroneous. It 'would seem to supply the government with some valuable evidence that there Is a combination among the manufac turers of steel bars which la an un reasonable restraint of trade and therefore illegal. All kinds of trouble is brewing be tween Spain, Germany and France be cause the latter has sent a huge army Into Morocco to quell a local revolution there.. The dispute in Morocco was a strife between rival factions In that country for th control of Its govern- ment It was analogous to the recent disturbance In Mexico. President Taft has acted wisely and well In this Mexi can situation. Suppose he had taken the same action in respect to the revo lution in Mexico that the government of France has taken in regard to the fra cas in Morocco? Well, there Is no tell ing Just what or how much trouble would have ensued. TAXXNO OARS AND POLES. There is nothing unreasonable iq the suggestion of the city commissioners to levy a special tax on the trolley cars and also on the poles of the tele phone, telegraph and electric light companies. It Is about time that To peka was getting something in the way of .revenue on the valuable fran chises under which' these concerns are doing business. A provision exists in the franchise of the street railway company compelling it to pay a certain per cent of its net earnings into the city. treasury. But the city has yet to receive any money under this pro vision. Since it haav been a part of the railway company's franchise the book of that concern, or Its financial report to the city, have failed to show t vthlng in the way of net earnings. It .was an error of Judgment for the city to attempt to levy this sort of a franchise tax in such a form. In other cities the tax of this character is fixed at a small per cent of the gross earnings of such corporations. Thus is a city assured of a fair reve nue from such a source. But it will be Impossible for Topeka to change the franchise of the street railway com pany In this respect until its life has expired, and that will not. be for some time yet. In the' meantime a tax of $25 on each street car in operation, as Is proposed, ought not to be burden some to the street railway company. And the revenue to the city, while not exceedingly large, would be worth while. Other cities tax street cars in this fashion and in some of them the tax is $50 per car. As to the suggested tax of 5 cents for each of the poles used in the city by the telegraph, telephone and elec tric light companies, the: e should not be much in the way of rrotest against it. Topeka is about the only city of any size In the country that does not levy a tax of this sort. The franchises that were given to these companies by Topeka contain no provisions for re compense to the city for the valuable privileges they enjoy. There is no suf ficient argument against the proposi tion that the city Is entitled to some revenue each year from ouch fran chises. The day when franchises of this sort were given away for nothing by municipalities is properly of the past. And it Is likely that Topeka will not make any mistakes of this sort in the future when the time comes for the renewal of these franchises. Taxing the poles of the telegraph and telephone and electric light com panies may also be the means of en couraging these concerns to put more of their wires underground, and es pecially in the business section of the city.- Thist would beA i.accompiisninB something that would reauy do worm more to the city than the 60-cent tax on each pole. RAILROAD STATION PARKS. Vinland, Kansas, Is not a very large town, nor is it on a very imponan. branch of the Atchison, uopeita Santa Fe system. Yet in the vicinity of the railroad station there is one of the prettiest parks on the entire Santa Fe system. It is a good sized, plot of ground covered with bluegrass. There are a number of evergreen trees in It that are abount twenty-five years old. It is a civic asset that any town would be proud to have. And the story of its establishment may contain some valuable suggestions to other cities of Kansas and their public-spirited citizens,, along- not only the lines of the Santa Fe but" of the other railroads that traverse the state. This plot of ground at Finland origin ally belonged to VW. E. Barnes, a nurseryman of that place). He got the good Idea that if it were-fixed up in a park the Santa Fe might be willing to provide for its maintenance. He sub mitted this idea to Division Superin tendent McLellan of the Santa Fe. Mr. McLellan, fell. in with it without the slightest urging. And so this park came into existence at the gateway of the little city of Vinland. Ib--Must' strike the' travelers along the?- line as an oasis In a desert- it must give them a fine impression of Vinland. And there is no good reason why the railroads and the people ir. most of the other cities of Kansas should not get together In beautifying the vicinity of the railroad stations with parks of this sort. They would help to make the trips of all travelers through' Kansas more memorable oc casions. They would be big advertise ments for every locality in the state that had one. With the railroads and the people of Kansas working together In this and all other particulars much more can be accomplished for the com monwealth than if they work at cross purposes with each other. ANOTHER TAFT TRIUMPH. One of the large accomplishments of President Taft's administration that has recently been endorsed by the su preme court of the United States, and to which the attention that it deserves has not been paid. Is the corporation tax. Its import and real significance is set forth in admirable fashion in an editorial which appears in the current issue of Human Life, as follows: "The decision of the supreme court whereby the constitutionality of the corporation tax was affirmed is a Taft triumph. Big business may no longer be conducted in secret. The" govern ment now has access to corporation books. It is a step toward that gov ernment supervision which will bring to an end the abuse of corporation power. The Payne tariff bill carried this tax as a rider. Republican lead ers were against it. Senator Aldrich prophesied that the law would be re pealed within three years. But, as the country knows. Senator Aldrich spoke only th desires of the Interests.' The people and their wishes have still to be reckoned with. And with the lat- stands the supreme court. 'One and God make a majority,' said some wise man. The DeoDle and the .supreme court hold the power now that the matter Is out -of -the hands of con gressmen. From, now on the govern ment may possess every financial se cret of big business. It may find out how the tariff laws operate, what necessarily exists for protection, ex actly how much profit has been made, the amount of water there may be in capital accounts, and whether there have been violations of the customs. the interstate commerce, and the anti trust laws. Competition regulates small business. Big business that hai stifled competition has no regulator exi cept the government.' The Corpora tlon tax, if the law is administered In justice and honesty, will regulate big business without harm to big business and with great benefit to that sacred and to-be-revered personage known as the -ultimate consumer." JOURNAL ENTRIES An instrument of torture a cornet in the hands of a novice. Any one who doesn't think it pays to be decent has never tried it.

Credit may often go where It is not deserved, but it doesn't stay there very long. Many people hope1 for ships to come in that they have never even tried to send out. All the wisdom in the world was never bottled up in one cranium re gardless of what some individuals seem to think.

He ordered a abavn and removing; his coat gave It to the boot black of the shop with a runp that it be cleanea. une Doy- took the coat and put in half an hour of hard work cleaning the garment after which he handed it back to the preacher, who said 'rnaiin-you. in r.-rt rin-o h. commercial man who had also come down the road past Jericho stepped into the same DarDer snop. no also had a mud-besplashed coat which he handed over to tTe boy to be clean ed The boy worKea ten miliums uu this coat and on returning it the drum mer handed him thirty-five cents In change.

Rome Deople's economy and conserva tion run largely to saving exertion. Something done today is better than half a dozen things planned for next week. The trouble is,- when you are cross and disagreeable you can't run away from yourself. There is this to say for the lightning liar: no one wants to put on a demon stration to prove that he is.

No, Clemintine, it isn't public spirit which prompts a man to try to make every other maVs business his own. Anyone can tell you how to keep cool in hot weather, but no one succeeds very well in applying this liberal ad vice. As a rule, the family horse will work more faithfully at swatting flies than It does at pulling the family surrey about. A farm hand's idea of a good man to work for is one who doesn't have a woodshed for him to work in on rainy days. You may have noticed that a horse man who is driving a colt he has just broken, seems rather proud of his ac complishment.

The. closing season of the public schools is .now at hand and hundreds of boys and girls are being turned- out to pass the summer vacation at some useful employment or Idleness and loafing. But the ones who will make the greatest success are those who will find some occupation during the sum mer, months. If the boy or girl does not acquire the habit of work In early life, the chances are they will not do so later. Part of the fault lies with the parents who permit their boys and girls to spend their valuable time in idleness. Tho days of serving annren- tlceships may have had their hard ships, but that was better, bqth for the Individual and Tor society, than spend ing the time in idleness, which is the mother of crime. And how about the graduates? About nine-tenths of them imagine that with the closing of comr mencement exercises they are equip ped to take up the most Important business positions or professions and mey waste tnelr time looking for snaps" instead of beginning at the bottom and -working themselves up. Don't loaf the days away; do some thing ana apply yourself honestly and faithfully to your work and you will in the long run be the srainer thereby. Linn County Republic KEEP A SCRAP BOOK.

FROM OTHER PENS A PROTEST DESERVED. The Court of Appeals of the Metho dist Church, sitting in Toronto, has decided on inquiry from British. Col umbia, that there shall be no woman delegates to the church conference. This kind of ruling is not new in many of th churches. Yet it appears to be absolutely without support in equity, no matter how strongly based it may be in ecclesiastical law. It is admitted we believe, that the body of the church membership is composed of women. They do the -work, they supply the enthusiasm, they have the most to do with keeping up the social side. If the church needs a new carpet the women are looked to to supply It; if the organ needs repairing, let the women find the funds. If there must be a donation party for the minister, the women manage it. If there must be a fair to raise funds for something or other, the women supply most of the work and nearly all of the supplies and sell whatever is sold. If there must be a 'church" supper to stir up general interest, the Vomen are quite competent to run thsrt But .they do not know enough to knew anything about ecclesiastical la w or theology or whatever it is necessary to know to en title one to sit with the male rulers of the church.- Buffalo Express. THE MODERN OFFENSE. Every day or so we see -an item in a paper telling of the trouble a man gets into by trying to kiss some girl he has no business to. Only last Tuesday a man In Chicago was arrested for abruptly kissing an 18-year-old dam sel, and was fined $20 and costs. The court-would have made the fine great er, but the man plead that he had an aged mother to support, and so could not stand a great fine. The Interesting oart about this mat ter is that only lately it has appeared as an offense. It didn't use to be that a fellow was arrested for disorderly conduct when he attempted to kiss girL Whether he didn't try then, or she was not so particular as now, it would be hard to discover. But, how ever that may be. this lesson is evolved, that the ancient and reversed rule still holds sway in human affairs that it takes two to make a bargain, and any act in defiance of that law is akin to piracy on the high seas. There is another Drancn oi mis mo mentous matter. In law there Is such an offense as an act to provide a breach of the peace, and it may be a Question how far the senoritas with their saucy hats and other fascinating adornments are responsible for the men's reckless Invasion of the regions of propriety.

It is not always easy to detect tax- dodgers, or. In any event, to bring them to Justice, but the Bavarian gov ernment appears to have provea, to its own satisfaction, at least, that where there's a will there's a way: and It is now investigating income-tax dodging a revealed in the wills of wealthy de cedents. As .an example of the cases which have come tar light is cited that of Chevalier von Klemm, a member of the Bavarian Relchsrath, who, at nis death, left J10.000.tt00. For 20 years. It is said, the returns made by him to the government accounted for property varying in value from t-a,uuu to nnn nnn.- nia neirs are now new m oe liable for J900.000 back taxes.

At any rate, it appears that th rnvernment of Bavaria has a way of looking after such things, and that w lies in the will. Manchester Union. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. IFrom the New York Press.

Man alive, his friend commented briskly, "you look as grave as a tomb stone.

Anyway." he promised himself, ir Dad is wrecked he and I will hang together and paddle through life some how on the wrecKage. The business with Mr. .Howells was auickly stated. Bennett wanted to set forth the extent of his own resources and to place them at the disposal of his father's creditors. Mr. Howells looked at him over kindly spectacles. "I lost a son years ago," he mused, gravely. "He -would have been about your buna now. should think, I'm wondering whether he would have done for me what you are doing for your father." Bennett could offer no opinion. The merchant looked -him over carefully and continued: However, you give yourself needless anxiety. Your rather Is our western agent The smash-up was an invest ment which he placed far us which he warned us against, too. We can afford to lose the money and learn our lesson.'' Bennett was ready to .kick up his heels with a wild Joy. His father's ab sence in Canada had nothing whatever to do with irregularity of business. Furthermore he had Just telegraphed Mr. Howells that In view of the dis aster he was well enough to try and start for home. Bennett had no need to make the trip. He accepted an In vitation to stay for dinner. A servant came in to tell the mer chant that his automobile was ready. Mr. Howells apologized for a hasty errand. He had come home from the office with a wrong paper and must rn for the right one In person. "You won't mind waiting for me?" he queried; and Bennett bowed. He didn't mind anything Just now. Be sides, some one was coming In to en tertain him meanwniie. JBuriea in reverie of pleasant relief, however, Bennett hardly noticed the entrance of the young woman. I "My 'daughter your "Jailer until return." the merchant introduced, with a smile, holding the curtain aside for a moment before he departed. Bennett looked up. She wore no hat; but the dress was still gray. It was the same tail figure, the fascinat ing mouth.

The 65 passengers On the -Atlantic Transport liner Minnewaska witnessed the thrilling rescue of a seaman. He was William "j.. Browning, 19 years old, of Whltstable, Kent where the famous English oyster grows. While the passengers were taking' afternoon tea in the. lounge on the up per promenade deck last Week there was a series of ehrieks on the ship's siren. The liner began to turn on her starboard helm and. presently every one was pointing to a man bobbing on the rollers astern. Chief Officer J. G. Hutchison rushed for the emergency nieooat .no. 2, beside which a half dosen able seamen stood waiting. it was Able Seaman Chadwlck who had rushed .up the bridge ladder" and informed Capt. Thomas F. Gates and Second Officer Simmons that Browning had fallen overboard. Chadwlck had hurled a life belt after Browning. An other life buoy was thrown from the bridge as the ship swung .around. There was a confused sea, on, with a heavy westerly swell. At times rollers hid the struggling sailor from view. Browning struck the water feet first after falling 65 feet. As he came up he noticed the life buoy Chadwlck had thrown. Then he' felt the suction of the ship's wave and he knew he would be sucked toward the veotel and chop ped to. pieces by the propellers unless he swam away. The lad kicked off one of his boots. He could see Chief Officer Hutchison and the men standing by the emergency-boat as the ship swung around. This gave him hope. Browning struck out for the life buoy, which was 50 feet away. As he approached it rollers carried the life ring farther away eluding his grasp. He struggled on and seized it at last I was nearly all in when I reached It" said the boy Afterward. Once in tho ring, he kicked oft the other boot and then took it "cool and easy," con tinuing to swim enough tor keep him self comfortable."- After tHV steamer, which had been going at a 15 -knot pace, had swung around to within- 800 yards of the sailor; Chief Officer "Hutchison's boat was cutaway.

Making Rubles to Order. Making big rubies out of little ones "while you wait" is a new Industry in troduced in Fifth avenue. In a laboratory at the' rear of a show room, a little crowd gathered to wit ness what was announced to be the first attempt in this country to produce artificial gems by fusion. A. J.- Van Exen, a- Belgian was the manager of the undertaking. j- First' of all .was shown a bottle or pink material said to be ruby powder, made by crushing small ruby particles. The process of manufacruret as dis played, was simple,- The apparatus, called a ohalumeau, is an adaptation Of the oxy-hydrogenr blow- pip. f There were two small, furnaces cap able of producing enormous heat, each of which contained a retort The pow der of natural stone was put into i metal cup at the top of the retort and by means of electric tapping -was forced through a tiny sieve and blown by oxygen down a. pipe, falling into a gas flame intensified to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit The molten particles drop ped through the flame-upon a point where they gradually build up a white hot glowln-g cone. When cooled this showed itself to-be what the manager called a "ruby n the rough." Mr. Van Exen said that it took about one hour to make a one' carat stone and four hours to build up one of six carats. A record stone of twenty-five carats required eighteen hours of continuous watching. There was also an exhibition of the manufacture of sapphires, but these. It was explained, were merely synthetic, composed, not of sapphire particles, but of the chemical constituents of the genuine stone, aluminum, oxide of Iron and oxide of titanium. Real sapphire particles when fused loe their color, but the "synthetic" stones became deep blue. New York Herald. Chivalrous Raphael.

THE TOPEKA DAILY- STATE JOURNAL PEIDAY EVENING. MAY 26, 1911. 9 SEES IN DREAMS Iola Plumber Says He Can Find Dorothy Arnold. Nothing of "Seer" or "Fortune Telling" About Man. HE KNOWS CRAVENS. Once Employed by Man Who Trained Animals. Tells of Chiding Employer for Bobbing Bank. Iola. Kan., May 26. That he cojld readily locate Miss Dorothy Arnold, end hb easily identify Ben Cravens, tne famous outlaw, said to be serving time in the Missouri state prison under the name of Maust, is the confident asser tion ef Charles Johnson, an Iola plu m ber, whose claim to the gitt of a won derful psychic power attracts more than passing attention because of the successful experience he has had in t Perlments along this line. Johnson worked for Cravens in Oklahoma in 1883, but never heard of the Arnolds until following Miss Arnold's mysteri ous disappearance, and the worid-wide search was besur. for her. Instead of being the superstitious fakir one might imagine him to be, Johnson is averse to notoriety and earnestly ambitious to master the sci nce of psychology as far as it is pos sible for him to do so. "I claim to be able to solve the most mysierious criminal casps through vis ions or dreams. I do not go into a trance although it is possible for me to do so and operate successfully. At times I am able to concentrate and control myself so absolutely that, hav ing been furnished the necessary oppor tunity to first study the crime, I can, with open eves, stand and see things that are so plain to me that I wonder what blinds the officers. "I have been called a clairvoyant, mind reader and seer but I am not to b9 classed with any of them. The power that I have has been with me from the days of my youth and it is as strange and inexplicable to me as it is to you. I know, however, that ipsycotherai y is a science and not a myth and my ambition is to master It as far as possible. "Ope of the earliest demonstrations of my power and one of the most con vincing ones came in 1883 when I was working for Ben Cravens on a ranch In the Choctaw nation in Oklahoma. One night, a bank and a postottice in the vicinity of El Eeno were robbed. In my breams the following night. I could see the work plainly done and Ben Cravens was in It. The next morning, passing me on the ranch. I met Ben. 'How are things coming?' he ask ed. 'Very well,' I answer, 'and they ought to be coming pretty well with you after the other night's work.' "Cravens eyed me sharply and de manded: "What do you know about it?' "Of couise I didn't know anything about it except what I had seen in my dreams and that without the evi ct ence was valueless. But now, by dreams and visions. I place the offi cers in a position to get the evidence. "If I could see the home of Dorothy Arnold; if she were described to me by those who know her intimately: if I could see her surroundings in tho magnificent home and if I could per sonally go over the ground she last trod before disappearing, I am certain I could locate her. I am Just as cer tain that I could Identify Ben Cravens if he is in the Missouri prison as they claim he is. He has probably chang ed a great deal since 1 last saw him; but had I never seen his face I should know it should I follow his crimes through dreams."

Officer Thacker found August Deitrick, who was so badly beaten up that he was hardly recognizable. In fact, Dei- trick looked as if he had been tangled up with a cyclone and had come out of it the worse for repairs. J. T. Murry, a Missouri Pacific con ductor, admitted that he was the one who had done the trimming. Mr. Murry says that for some time Deitrick has been molesting things about the Murry home,- such as cut ting down the flowers, and last night he had gone to the Murry home with a can of red paint and had painted the front door of the house a bright red. Mr. Murry says that this is only one of the things that the man has done to torment him and that he tracked the painter to the home of Deitrick by the paint on the weeds and grass where the man had wiped his hands and where the paint had slopped out from the can. It seems that at one time Deitrick had boarded at the Murry home, but had been ordered to leave. He threat ened then that he would fix him and has been trying to since, accordng to the story of Mr. Murry. THIEF WRITES SORRY LETTER But Jesse Moore Is Still $145 on the Minus Side. Hutchinson, Kan., May 26. Tou'd call it hard luck, wouldn't you, if some one swiped J145 from you? But would it help any if the thief, robber or pilferer was to write you a letter, telling you he was sorry he did it, but didn't re turn the money? Jessie Moore, clerk at the Chalmers, has received such a letter. It con cerned the loss of a sum of money stolen a little over a year ago from the Midland hotel cash register, when Moore was clerk at the Midland. Moore doesn't exactly know what to do about the letter. He is glad to know that the thief is repentant. Still that doesn't make up the missing money. But he figures that if the man hasn't any money it would be no value to catch him and, anyhow. It would be a breach of confidence. So he Is going to sit still and hold tight and pray that the man may prosper.

P. Ryan Then Throws Hat Into Lake to Show Disregard for Expense. Hutchinson, Kan., May 26. Mr. P. Ryan, tailor and society iluminate, may be an umpedee and umbaugh and a nofritz, but he isn't a piker. This much was demonstrated when the said Mr. P. Ryan, on a dare, threw his cap into the duck pond at Riverside park. Thereafter the cooling zephyrs whisked playfully among his raven locks. However, this is but a minor detail of a night of revelry and good cheer in dulged in last night by a number of young men who found ennui sticking around. The main event was the street car Joy ride. "Let's charter a street car," said one." "All right," said another. Forthwith the first boulevard steamer that hove in sight was boarded.

If the officer had waited a moment he might have confiscated the goods and made some sensational arrests, but he did not wait until a few of the cases were unloaded into the club house, which would have been necessary to prove a nuisance charge.

Gordon-Mann Case Again Keach- es This Stage. Mrs. Gordon Finishes the Intro duction of Evidence. ARE NO WQUOTING LAW Lawyers for Mrs. Mnnn Argning v Demur to Evidence. "Why Mrs. Gordon Rejected Pro posal for Compromise. An unexpected delay wai encoun tered this morning in the Gordon Munn case, when attorneys for the plaintiff suddenly announced the completion of their case and the de fense Interposed a tantalizing: demur to the evidence that promises to tie tin the proceedings for the remainder tt the week. Shortly after court opened at 9 o'clock this morning. the plaintiff fiaked for a short recess in which the lawyers might confer regarding' the evidence. Ten minutes later it was announced that the plaintiff had 'made her case. Then the defense .dragged a wheelbarrow load, of legal references to the court room and at tacked the case from' a half dozen an gles. But the plaintiff was equally well supplied wtih legal references end for two hours the lawyers hurled Tolnme after' volume of citations at the court, while the jury stood in the Jobby and discussed crop conditions, h At noon the half dozen lawyers were still going strong., The stack 'of books on the long table had in "cvensed 'several fold. Disinterested Jmrtiea tried in a dazed manner to prarp the fine points of the conten tion, but soon gave up and left the court room in despair., The supposed contents of the ante nuptial agree inent was causing much trouble, but for reasons which only the court and attorneys seemed to understand. Lawyers Stone, Hite and Troutman lor the Munn interests declared that the burden of disproof of the contents df thin contract were at the door of the plaintiff. To be sure the minds cf these lawyers were not real clear ma to just what that contract con tained: but they argued that this made little difference. They read from Mrs. Gordon's answer to Mrs. lunn's answer in which she admitted that an ante-nuptial contract had tieen made. For this reason the de Tense contended they could plead the contents of the contract even though they could not produce It and the attorneys for the little woman at the end of the long table were compelled to refute their statements. Then Attorneys Allen. Crane and tarimer told Mrs. Gordon's side. They ridiculed the Idea that they were Ibound by the burden of proof or dis proof of any of the defendant's theories. Further, they pleaded Ignorance as to the contents of the contract and de clared that Gordon himself had de stroyed the force of such an agree ment by violations of its alleged pro visions when he failed to transfer the property to the defendant which the contract Is presumed to have conveyed. Had the plaintiff not proven her legal marriage to the wealthy Topekan Has she not proven her right to in herit? Certainly, the plaintiff argued.

When the noon hour came Judge Whitcomb gathered his notations on legal authorities and promised to think it over. This afternoon court adjourned early in respect to the fun eral of Bert Lucas, former sheriff, and the final- decision in this argument may not be made until court convenes next Monday morning. Will Be No Compromise. While the lawyers are busy piling up legal stumbling blocks for the court and are raking the records for error on which to base a possible-necessary appeal, they are overlooking no op portunities for a prom.'sing compro mise. It was rumored at the court house today that the alleged glittering compromise which the Munn Interests offered Mrs. Gordon Thursday morn ing was not the genuine article which at first appeared on the surface. It is stated that the following figures complied Dy tne Munn interests show the proposed distribution of the prop erty: Mrs. Munn's interest 342 acres north of North Topeka.. J42.500 100 acres in Texas 2,000 8 city lots in Denver 4,000 1 lot on Kansas avenue, Topeka, near Copeland hotel Kite 5.000 tVi acres on Seward avenue 5.000 2 acres on Polk street 2,000 1 lot in North Topeka 1,000 Cash in hands administrator 16,000 Total .asked by Mrs. Munn $77,500 Mrs. Gordon's interest. 56 acres timber land west of North Topeka ...$12,000 Gordon home in Potwin 6,500 120 acres south of cemetery..; 12.000 Cash in hands administrator 17,000 Total offered Mrs. Gordon.. '..$47,500 This compromise stiil looks promis ing. But it Is reported that the plain tiff found -a bug under the chip. A comparison of the property rights shows- that Mrs. Gordon was to re ceive in the $47,500 budget relin nulshment of the contest over nearly $20,000 worth of property which was deeded to Mrs. Gordon- by Mr. Gordon before "his death. This battle is still pending m the supreme court. Mrs. Gordon holds deeds to this property and has won her contention in every contest.. By deducting this amount, Mrs. Gordon was left with less than $30,000 in the pending contest involv ing title to more than $110,000 of the Gordon estate. It is also stated that Mrs. Gordon asked for an arrangement that would give her title to part of the $42,500 farm north of North Topeka, but that this resquest was rejected by the de fense. Then It is claimed that Mrs. Gordon offered to settle for $50,000 cash, turning over her property tied up in the supreme court and the interests involved In the present hearing. She claims the widow's share of the state, a half interest. QUINCYlS OPPOSED. Doesn't Want Reciprocity of the Taft Brand. State 'Senator Fred S. Quincy, the Salina banker and progressive poli tician, is opposed to reciprocity of the brand President Taft is trying to get through this session of congress. He believes that it is free trade pure and simple and not related at till to the reciprocity urged by James G. Blaine in the good old days. Senator Quincy stbpped off in Tope ka today "On his way home from the state bankers' meeting in Kansas City. Asked about the Capper candidacy on a harmony platform, he said: "We must have harmony, even if we have to fight for it." Senator Quincy is a progressive of the progressives, but he was not pre pared to dispute Senator Long's pre diction of some days ago. that Kansas would be for Ta't for the Republican candidate in 1912. "There does not seem to be anyone else in the running up to this time," evasively replied the sen ator. "Kansas may not have a chance to choose a candidate to support." Senator Quincy said that when the reciprocity bill was first introduced in congress he was for it on, general prin ciples, but that after he read the meas ure carefully he quickly changed his mind. "You will remember," he said, "that a resolution was passed by the house during the last session of the legislature in favor of the Taft re ciprocity bill. I read the national measure carefully through during my trip home over Sunday and upon my return to xopeica tne next aionaay bitv ed notice on my friends among the Republican and Democratic senators that I would oppose the passage of the house resolution. I urged them to read the reciprocity bill. They did, and the house resolution diea in senate com mitt ap. "The principal of the Taft plan of reciprocity is wrong, and will, in my judgment, if enacted into law, endanger the party at the polls next year. The bill places all the raw product on the free list but does not remove the tariff on the manufactured product. This simply means that the American farmer will eet less for his product in compe tition with free grain and live stock from Canada, while the American man ufacturer makes bigger profits than ever. The American consumer will pay the same price as of yore. We do not hnv wheat, or cattle on the hoof or sawlogs. We buy flour at the miller's own sweet prices, aressea meat at me limit nrit-A the nackers dare to pile on. and lumber at a dollar a pound. For every raw product mentionea in tne ad ministration reciprocity bill the finish ed article should have been considered too. T helieve the American farmer will get up on his hind legs and roar like a walrus when the reciprocity treaty gets to going good." Asked for the second time if he was for Capper for governor, the portly banker-politician piacea ins nana nn the reporter's shoulder and said sol omniv "Youne man I am for harmony. You can quote me in this matter if you so desire. STATE TAKES A HAND. New Hampshire Looks After Its Share of tiie Eddy Estate. Concord, N. H., May 26. State Treas urer Solon A.

One Out of Every Seven in Lincoln School. One pupil out of every seven in the Lincoln school has some impairment in vision. This was discovered upon examination of the children of the school by a committee of eminent physicians appointed by the state board of health. The time is looked forward to when examination can be made of all the school children in the entire city. Cards have been prepared which will be signed by the teachers and sent to the parents of the children who are defective in sight, recommending that the children be taken to some special ist for treatment and adjustment of the impairment.

Simon, county attorney, the plans for the erection of the new Grantville bridge have been abandoned by the county commissioners and the new structure will not be built until the Jefferson county board unite in their support of the work. Simon holds that the county can rot declare itB intentions to construct a new bridge for several reasons. First, he eavs the new law does not apply to bridges to be built Jointly by two counties Second, he declares that any action on the part of the Shawnee county board while in Jefferson coun ty is illegal. Further than this, bi mon points to the opposition of certain members of the Jefferson county It is believed, however, that If the warring factionB on the Jefferson county board can agree, that a new bridge may be built at Grantville. But before a second effort is made the Shawnee county members will inves tigate the statutes. The board had ex pected today to declare their inten tion of calling for bids fo- the new bridge. This plan was abandoned when an opinion was received from the county attorney's office. "AN EARLY ELECTION. Mexico Is Planning on Voting for President In November. Mexico City, May 26.

Ave. When Edna Graham's husband call ed her "a big fat woman," Mrs. Gra ham was insulted and humiliated. She took her troubles to a lawyer. Now Robert Graham, the husband, is de fendant in a suit for divorce. But Mrs. Graham has other grievances. She was Graham's second wife. When the husband advised his children to abuse and mistreat her, she took her objections direct to the head of the household. Then, she says, Graham beat and kicked her. That was weeks ago and Mrs. Graham is still suffering from the injuries. There was mors trouble In the home, the petition says, when the husband falsely accused his wife of taking money from his pockets. Mrs. Graham says she never did. She claims she even loaned Graham J300 with which to make repairs on their little home at 937 College avenue. But Gra ham seemed unable to appreciate favors. He continued to abuse his wife and since their marriage in Sep tember, 1908, has bought his wife but one pair of shoes. He told the woman she was strong and could earn money with which to buy her clothing and refused to make an appropriation for this necessity, although the husband receives a generous income. Mrs. Graham's troubles cover two typewritten pages. Not only does she want a divorce, but she wants the re turn of the MOO which she loaned her husband shortly after their marriage. In order that there may be no Ques tion about the $300, she asks the court for a restraining order to prevent the husband disposing of the property. The offices at the court house were closed this afternoon under the terms of a resolution passed today by the county commissioners. The closing order was Issued in respect to the fam ily of Bert Lucas, former sheriff of Shawnee county, and to permit county officials to attend the funeral which was held at 3 o'clock this afternoon. JACKSON IS LET OFF EASILY.' Negro Who Killed Another Permitted to Plead Guilty. John Jackson, colored, charged with first degree murder for the killing of ueorge Sanders last January, was this morning permitted to plead guilty in Judge Danaa court to third degree manslaughter. The (Prisoner was sen tenced to an Indeterminate period of from one to three years in the state penitentiary. At a dance on East Eighteenth street last winter, Jackson and Sanders quar relled concerning a game of cards. Jackson had that nizht loaned a man $4 on a new revolver and the gun was in his pocket. He ordered Sanders to leave the house. Sanders left. But not until the furniture was badly damaged ana much lllfeeling was engendered. An hour later the man returned in company with his brother. In the house adjoining the Jackson home a dance was in full force. The dance stopped wniie jackson and Sanders renewed hostilities. In the trouble which en sued, Jack&on produced his newly aa quired revolver and shot Sanders through the heart. The defentant pleaded self-defense. But when the county attorney's office offered to com promise the charge of first degree mur der and accept a plea of third degree manslaughter, Jackson accepted. The prisoner will be taken to the penitentiary sometime next month. Concert Sunday afternoon and. even ing. Garfield. Washington, May 26. That the po liceman's lot' is not a happy one was evidenced again today wfcen the house passed a resolution by Representative Roddenbury of Georgia chopping off the official heads of thirty-five guar dians of the capitol. The policemen look to the senate to save them, and it is believed It will. The resolution precipitated a long wrangle In the house, in which personal grudges largely figured. Former Speaker Cannon and Rep resentative Sherwood of Ohio (Demo crat) clashed when Mr. Cannon de nounced what he called the obstruc tive tactics of the Democrats in pre venting the passage of Republican pension legislation. Mr. Sherwood promptly replied that when the Illi noisan was speaker e had' prevented consideration of the -Sherwood 11 a day pension measure. "The gentle man from Illinois shows a remarkable amount of gall," said Sherwood, with warmth, "in coming here now trying to gain credit for a measure that he would not let come up last session." The house today adjourned until Tuesday. As that Is Memorial day no business will be done and another ad journment will be taken until next Frl day when the wool tariff revision bill probably will be ready. The measure will be considered by the Democratic caucus Thursday. In response to a resolution asking for information on the subject Mr. Wicker sham today sent word to the house that the department of Justice has under taken no criminal prosecution of the officers of the Standard Oil company as result of the recent supreme court decision. It is understood Senator Pomerene, author of the original reso lution, will introduce another directing criminal prosecution against the Stand ard Oil and constituent companies. HAVE $200 TO START.

ACCEPTANCE PROMPT De La Barra Is Proclaimed Provisional President. Great Demonstration of Joy Follows the Announcement. Mexico City. May 26. President Diaz In a letter read by the president of the chamber of deputies jesterday after noon, resigned the presidency of the re public of Mexico and at 4:54 o'clock tho acceptance of the resignation by the deputies was announced. The following is the letter of Diaz to the president of the chamber of depu ties: "Sirs: The Mexican neople who gen erously have covered me with honors, who proclaimed me as their leader dur ing; a war, who patriotically assisted tnfi in all works undertaken to deveiop Industry and the commerce of the re public, establish its credit, gain for it the respect of the world and obtain for it an honorable position In the concert of nations; that same people.

J honored me, which I do with all the more reason since, in order to continue in office, it would be necessary to shed Mexican blood, endangering the credit of the country, dissipating its wealth, exhausting its resources and exposing its policy to international complica tions. "I hope, gentlemen, that when '.he passions which are inherent to all revo lutions have been calmed, a more con scientious and just study will bring out in the national mind a correct Judgment which, when I die. I may carry graven on my soul as a Just estimate of the life which I have devoted and will devote to my countrymen. "With aU respect, "POKFIRIO DIAZ." Everyone had expected an uproar and demonstration when the an nouncement should be made, but with in the chamber the words announcing the event were follower!, by silence. The deputies seemed awed by what had taken place. In the streets, however, black witn people, every street leading to the hall being blocked, news that Diaz was at last i:o more the president, was the signal for wild shouting ana manifes tations. There was no violence nor destruc tion of property. On the motion to accept the presi dent's resignation, 167 deputies voted aye. while two of them did not ex press themselves. They were Benito Juarez, a descendant of President Juarez, and Concepcion Del Valle. As their names were called other legisla tors arose and bowed their affirmative. In similar fashion the resignation of rVice President Ramon Corral, now in Prancer was unanimously accepted and similarly Francisco Leon De La Barra, late ambassador to Washington, was chosen provisional president. The lat ter took the oath of office at noon to day in the yellow parlor of the na tional palace. Of scarcely less Interest in the pop ular mind was the practical assump tion of military control of the federal district by Alfredo liobles Domin guez, Madero's personal representa tive. Personally Dominguer commands only a small body of local rebels, but the federal garrison is under orders to make no move whatsoever without securing his approval. Senor Domin- guez stated he can bring 5,000 organ ized rebel troops Into the city with in three hours. Their baggage and horses, are aboard trains furnished by the government at Cuernavaca, Pachu ca and Tlalnepantla. He stated that they will remain at their present sta tions until they should be needed in this city to control tne situation. Traffic Is Choked. Every entrance to the chamber and all street approaches were guarded-toy heavily armed mounted police. Only those who came hours ahead of the time got within this cordon. They were quiet and well behaved. Outside the wall of police the throngs cheered themselves hoarse, but gave the police no trouble. Street cars running near the chamber were compelled to stop bv the density of the crowd and their roofs soon swarmed with eager spec tators. Every car scheduled to go over these routes was commandeered- by the men ar.d boys, many blocks before the cen ter of interest was reached. While the motormen were working their way at a slow pace through the crowd the boys cheered and shouted and threw their hats in the air until the cars moved beyond where the chamber could be seen. The volunteer passengers thereupon would desert i ana run DacK to take possession of the I other cars. To the city generally the acceptance of the resignation of the president SEE OUR WIN, DOW No Such Values Anywhere 368-366 W. Madison St., Chicago was announced by the clang of the bells of the cathedral and two dis charges of a cannon. For many squares on every side of the chamber the streets were black with people. Great crowds were scat tered over the Zocalo when the ringing of the bells and the firing of the can non announced the triumph of the revolution. With one accord thpv rushed toward the chamber, but their progress was halted by the multitude ahead of them.

AH Business Suspended.' Practically all business was sus pended. Everywhere windows were shuttered, but the demonstrants of the previous night had become excited but narmless celebrants. On every balcony in the citv. and they are a feature of every house and office building, women and children ana those too infirm to be in the streets came out to witness the cele bration. Many of them tossed flow ers and confetti on, the marching thousands. A heavy guard of mounted police was maintained in front of the na tional palace, near which seven per sons were killed and 36 wounded when the mob was fired on Wednes day night. The guard moved in a long oval. It is the first time in 30 years that the people of Mexico have been given the opportunity to shout with impun ity the name of their choice for the presidency. Unused as they are to freedom from restraint, the elder men of the country regard it a-s remark able that the thousands who have been parading the streets almost continu ously for more than 24 hours have not been guilty of worse deeds of vio lence. Few acts of ruffianism were committed by them and yet the po lice and authorities endured certain desperate circumstances and not even when a young officer was pulled from his horse and struck in the face by an angry member of the mob did the officer in command of the troops order his men to shoot.

STOCKS The pressure against United States Steel or tne last two days appeared to have been, relaxed in the early trading on the stock market today. Transactions in the stoctc were not large and prices were un changed. Cessation of the selling move ment had a bracing effect on the market and prices were advanced moderately. General Electric gained I; Canadian Pa cific 1; Atchison and Westlnghouse Elec tric Reading Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper 1 The resignation of President Diaz caused an advance in Mexican securities. National Railways of Mexico second preferred gained Large buying orders were distributed in tbe Standard Railroad stocks and prices moved up smartly with Atchison, Union Pacifc, Reading and the Hill stocks the features. The gains in these and sev eral active specialties ran from 1 to 1 points. The trend of prices was downward in the early afternoon but the important stocks still cetained a large proportion of their earlier advances. The selling pressure which held stocks In check for several days was relieved this morning and a decided improvement in ten toe of the market resulted. Sub stantial advances were made in all classes of stocks and bear traders who had sold heavily, were obliged to cover. A number of minor industrial including the Electric stocks were especially strong. Atchison April report Increased the demand for that issue. Buying of Union Pacific was stimulated by the announcement that the new $25,000,000 Harriman bond issue had been over-subscribed. Prices held firm throughout the morning session although the demand abated at the higher level. Bonds were firm. Business slackened to almost nominal proportions and fluctuations were nar rowed. Operators restricted ventures ow ing to the prevalent belief that the su preme court would make a decision in the American Tobacco case on Monday. New York Money Market. New York, May 26.

9 BOY TAG AND HELP i i Tuberculosis Campaign Will Be Given Boost June 3. Yopsig Me iMei! And Comra fV City to Be Invaded in the Cause on That Bate. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING. MAY c26,1911, M des! Dili J1 H ii ."Won't you buy a tagV On Satur day, June 3. this will be a question that will be asked you before you have teally made a start for your place of business. On all the important street corners of the city will be stationed pretty girls who will have you tagged In the Interests of the Topeka Anti Tuberculosis association before you are aware of what has happened in other Words It will be "Tag Day." Heretofore the proceeds, of tag day have gone to aid in the work of the Provident association, but as that or ganization has a little money at the Present time and as the Topeka Anti Tuberculosis association has exhausted its funds in the splendid work which nas been done in the last year ai me Mbrth Side fresh air camp, the man agement of the former organization decided to turn over the money for this work of attempting to stamp out the "great white plague' in Topeka. "While we need the money that usu ally comes to us on 'Tag Day,' said Secretary Guy T. Justis of the Provi dent association, "the work of the To peka Anti-Tuberculosis association is omething that must be continued. We will have to plan carefully in the next year In order to do the most effective work with the least possible money, but we are relying on the friends of the association to be even more gener ous than in times past In the support of the Provident association. Many of the young peoples' societies are becoming interested in our work, and we expect some valuable aid in the way of per sonal service on the part of members of these organizations." The women of the city interested In charitable work are organizing and it Is planned to have fifty stations estab lished on Tag Day, each station to be managed by a married lady who will in turn have a half dozen pretty girls as helpers. The committee of women in direct charge of arrangement? is composed of the following well-known persons: Mrs. W. P. Hemphill. Mrs. A. H. Purdy, Mrs. D. E. Barton Mrs Charles Samson, Mrs. A. A. Godard, Mrs. E. J. Foster. BASEBALL DOPE AVD GOSSIP. Wli'-re Tliey Play Tomorrow. Topeka at St. Joseph. Denver at Sioux City. Pueblo at Omaha. Lincoln at Des Moines. Well, it is St. Joseph next asd let us hope that Holland's boys have not the jinx on us they have on the Griz zlies. The Kaws took two of the three with the Drummers here. The Kaws batted the Soos 5ust aa hard as they did Des Moines. It looks like they are equal to any of them, no matter what their station. Twelve In nings is a long time to run neck and neck with the league leaders and there was some sensational play along the Une. Thomason got his good left whip Into the game at a critical time Thursday, cutting a run oft at the plate andp;-o-longing the game another two innings. OcUl warhorse, Rickert continues to play his phenomenal gam. Three bin gles were his share, he stole three bases and he scored three- times, had three putouts and no errcrs. Leo Sage, the Minneapolis twlrler, did not make a great hit on his initial performance for the Champs. Tim Kaws got all their runs off him. Mil ler held them safe after the eighth. Moore keeps up his batting rally and looks now like one of the hard hitters of the league. The Sioux City papers hand it to him for a hard working manager and say he and Whitney have the infield class.

The engine tooted hoarsely, Uie conductor shouted "All aboard:"- and the boy from Christiania gave jne mirthful look at the 'wreck, waved goodby and swung on to the last coach of the train. Question: What does he think of the United States? Isbell's Pueblo bunch slipped ahead of Denver yesterday and maybe it will be the other Colorado town to flsht for the pennant. But the Smelters have had easy picking. They pounded three Booster pitchers for 18 bingles yes terday, made no trrors and got 17 runs. Patten, the Omaha twirler, Merriam, the El Paso boy who joined them, hei-e. and the chocolate cream. Hersche, were the three slab men pummelled. Des Moines Register and Leader: Umpire Shoemaker may not umpire the game this afternoon. He informed President Higgins after the game yes terday that he was going to his home, although he did not state where that home is. -He is a barber by occupation and feels much more at home with a razor in his hand than facing a team of wrathful ball players.

Denver Republican: Topeka and Des Moines need be considered only when they meet a prospective cham pion. The nines are away below the others in real strength Just the sort of teams that break up a winning streak by doing something unexpect ed. That is, neither of the teams can have hopes for doing anything more in the race than trailing the bonch. They can not win anything for themselves. but in a pinch may cause some other team to stumble. Sioux City Journal: Baseball like Topeka played yesterday deserves bet ter than next to the bottom. The Kaws will bear watching. Hopke robbed Wagner of a perfect hitting record. He is some shortstop. The way he handled Wagner's hot grounder on applause and hurt ma terially the Champs chances to even up the score. Pueblo Star-Journal: Frank Isbell, manager and owner of the Pueblo Western league team, who has no su perior in the league as a handler of men, says: "I have a fine bunch of boys. They are the best in the league and will win the pennant for Pueblo." St. Joseph Gazette: The Topeka Kaws, who are scheduled to make their first appearance here Friday, are fighting every club they meet. That victory over Sioux City yesterday was hard earned and -as a rule, any club that cleans the Packers on their home lot is playing ball. St. Joseph News-Press: If Butch Kerns does become a Drummer, may be some of the umpires in this league who have been slipping something over on the home boys will cut it out. Butch is some fighter. He would fight in a minute and, what's more, he knows how that said mixin' is done. Sporting News: An odd case of "in terference" came up recently in a game in the Southern league. Paul Sentell scored on a throw to the plate. He was safe and to spare, and as the ball came bounding in he "speared" It for a joke and tagged himself with it, thus pre venting the catcher taking the tardy throw. Umpire Carpenter called him out for interference, which was tech nically correct. Kansas City Journal: Joe Crisp, a. Kansas City boy, who formerly caught for the Blues, is likely to be idle thi3 year. Crisp is taking life easy In Kan sas City and does not care about catching for Topeka, Kan., to which club he belongs. Crisp was with New ark, N. J., last season and caught win ning ball. He was so well thought of there that the St. Louis Browns bought him in the fall. This year they turned Joe over to Topeka, under an optional agreement and Crisp stopped here on his way to the Kansas town. Crisp does not care to catch in the Western league as he believes he is fast enough for the A. A. or E. L. If not for the major leagues. Sioux City Journal: Whitney plays a great game at first for the Kaws. He is some slugger, too. This man Moore is a hard worker. He accepted some difficult chances. He failed to cover first base once and it cost the Kaw pitcher a hit. St. Joseph News-Press: Now that Wichita is out of the Western leagU' peka promises to make good this year. To date, most .of the visiting clubs at the Kansaj capital have reported fair attendance and PaRourke is high in his praise for the revival of pepper among the fans across the state line. Topeka has a good ball club in spite of the fact that their standing in the per centage column would hardly lead an outsider to reach such a conclusion. Manage Moore's boys have proven to every team in the league that they can fight for everything that is taken away from them. If Topeka has a success ful season every club owner in the cir cuit will be glad of the fact for it will be a good thing for the league. From that standpoint, all of the club owners would be more than glad should the Des Moines Boosters make a spurt, which would Increase the interest at Iowa's first city. SIoUx City Tribune: '-Marty" O'Toole was on the losing end of the second St. Paul game yesterday. Every time Marty gets his bumps a ray of hope comes this way. There would be a tickled bunch of fans here if the auburn-haired heaver would again don a Sioux City uniform. "Hippo" Hammond the portly heaver who helped the Packers with several ball games last season, wants to return to Sioux City. In a letter to Tom Fair weather he says that the Montgomery club, of the Southern association, to which he was sold by the Packer bosses, has turned him over to the Meridian club in the Cotton states league. At that place "Hippo" says the mosquitoes are the size of brickbats and the boiling sun is something fierce. In view of this, he Is willing to make concessions to get back with the Packers. If Falrweather and Towne will only take him back he de clares he will cut out the "Bud" or not ask a cent for his services. FORCED COMPETITION OUT. But Kansas Merchant Himself Is Now In Bankruptcy.
