The Harriman Merger Suit Won by the Railroads. THE SPECIAL COUNSEL C. A. Severance Is Directed by General Wickersham To Prepare the Case as Quickly as Possible. Washington, July 29. The govern ment will appeal to the supreme court the Harriman merger suit, which was decided in favor of the railroads by the United States circuit court at St. Louis. Attorney General Wickersham today directed C. A. Severance, the govern ment's special counsel i: the case, to prepare the appeal and file it as quick ly as possible. Although the government has a year in which to perfect its action to the highest court, the department of jus tice intends to hurry the suit. Opinions have been expressed in some quarters that the government's appeal would be only routine matter to have the questions involved decid ed by the highest court. At the de partment of justice, however, it is said the government is appealing the case in the hope of winning u Mr. Sev erance has reported to the attorney general that he believes the govern ment has a good chance. It has been suggested to the de partment that the outcome of the Har riman merger suit migr' have some bearing on the great holding company which, it has been reported, is to be or ganized for the New York Central lines. Attorney Genera! Wickersham, however, said the proposed New York Central company had not been called to his attention and would express no opinion. BASEBALL WEATHER. Western League.

Excursion Train and a Regular Pas senger Collide in Maine. Grindstone, Me., July 29. Eight per sons were kill?d and 14 injured when an excursion train and a regular passen ger train on the Bangor Aroostook road collided at this station shortly af ter 9 o'clock last night. Five passengers of the excursion train were kiued. The engineer of the ex cursion train and two firemen were also among. the killed. The regular train was the heavier and plowed its way through the lighter excursion cars with comparatively lit tle injury to the regular passenger. The- accident is said to have been due to a misunderstanding of orders. The trains were to have passed at Grindstone, but the excursion train was about a minute late, and it is said the regular did not wait. In the smoking car of the excursion train, next to the tender, were the members of the Presque Isle band. Owing to the isolation of the place and the fact that the only telephone wire running into the town was put out of commission for a time by the storm which raged through northern Maine, details were hard to obtain.

The statement was printed here that President Bar ney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg Na tionals has purchased Cetcher William Kelly, battery mate of Pitcher Martin O'Toole of the St. Paul American As sociation team, who was sold to Pittsburg a few years ago for $22,500 and another pitcher. Dreyfus, it !s said, pa'd $7,500 in cash for Kelly and will gfv St. Paul a catcher worth $2,500. Kelly will re port to the Pittsburg club at the same time as O'Toole, which til: be some time in September. It is said announcement of the sale has not been made because the St. Paul and Pittsburg owners have not decided on the catcher to- take Kelly's place. THE TAFT CAMP.

1 VI Xo Visible Signs of Alarm. TOGO IS COMING Japanese Naval Hero Sails for the United States. Will Remain in This Country Until End of August. A POPULAR FAREWELL A Great Crowd Gathers at the London Railway Station To Witness the Departure of the Great Admiral. London, July 29. Admiral Count Heihachiro Togo was given a popular farewell at the railway station today as he left for Liverpool to sail on the Lusitania for New York. In the gieat crowd gathered for a final glimpse of the naval hero was a larg-i party of school boys and girls. The members of the Japanese embassy and repre sentatives of the British admiralty were there in their official capacities. Admiral Togo will remain in the United States until the end of August. His engagements there will depend on the plans of the government, whose guest he will be. Others sailing on the Lusitania were the Earl and Countess of Granard, Charles Haddon Chambers, the play wright, and Captain C. F. G. Sowerby, the British naval attache at Wash ington. SIMON READY TOQUIT. President of Haiti Is Growing; Discour aged Over Situation. Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, July 29. The revolutionists have surrounded the city but early today had not made an attempt to take possession. During the night fire started in the business district but there was little wind and the flames were checked when six small houses had bean de stroyed. The American gunboat Petrel re turned today from a cruise along the western districts and reported that re gion was in the hands of the revolu tionists but the overturn had been ac complished without bloodshed: The presence of the Haitien warship An toine Simon in those waters was with out effect on public sentiment, which is strongly against the government. The Haitien gunboat "17 Decembre" remains at Aux Cayes. the president's home town, which has not fallen as was previously reported. A few south ern coast towns remain loyal. It is strongly believed here that Simon would resign if he was assured that the rival factions would settle the mat ter of his successor peaceably. Pickpocket Returns Money. Sharon, Pa.. July 29.

SECY SESSIONS WARNS He Is Sending Word to All Delinquents. Will Be Auguit 10 Before En tire List Is Checked Up. More than 15,000 delinquent corpor ations in Kansas are in danger of los ing their charters on August 20, for failure to comply with the law by til ing their annual statements with the secretary of state. Many of these concerns are dead and gone already. But there are a few still doing business in total dis regard of the law which requires them to file such reports showing their fin ancial condition. This class must eith er fish or cut bait and do it mighty quickly. In order to clean up the state rec ords and enable the corporation de partment to have a complete list of all active corporations, the legislature last winter passed a law to wipe out all corporations which had been de linquent in filing such reports during the past three years. The time limit is up on August 20. Those which fail to get their reports in by that time will be declared dead, by action of law. While the law doesn't require it, Secretary of State Sessions is taking every means he can to advise the de linquent corporations of the fate that soon awaits them if they longer per sist in violating the law. In making up the list, it is barely possible that now and then a corpor ation may be included which has re ported. In handling over 25,000 char ters in a limited time an occasional error necessarily will creep in. How ever, it will be caught in the final check-up and the lawabidlng corpor ation will have its charter protected. Already three weeks' time has been spent in preparing the list of delin quent corporations. The secretary of state's office has only reached Reno county in its report and omitted Mont gomery county in the final checking. With the heavy report from Montgom ery, Reno, Shawnee. Sedgwick and Wyandotte counties yet to be compiled, it is hardly probable the entire re port will be finished befc-re August 10. TO AVERT A CRASH. More Testimony Kejrarrtiiijj Sale! of Tennessee Coal Iron. Xew York, July 29. E. W. Ogelbay of Cleveland tesrified today before the house of representatives committee of inquiry into the United States Steel corporation which continued its prob ing into the taking over in 1907 by the steel corporation of the Tennessee Coal Iron company. Mr. Oglebay, a practical steel man. was a member of the syndicate headed by Grant B. Schley, L. C. Hanna, John W. dates and others who took over the Tennessee's manufacturing and ore properties in 1905. He was induced, he said, to go into the syndicate by Mr. Hanna, his lifelong friend. Hi narrative of the syndicate operations of the property as a competitor of the United States Steel corporation for two years corroborated the story related yesterday by Mr. Hanna. At the time of the panic in 1907, when the Xew York brokerage firm of Moore Schley was in trouble because of excessive loans on Tennessee Cor.l Iron stock as collateral, Mr. Ogle bay was called to Xew York and par ticipated in conferences leading up to the absorption of the Tennessee com pany by the United States Steel corpor ation. He declared it his opinion that the sale was made to avert a financial crash. WILL SIGN NEXT WEEK. Two Arbitration Treaties Are Nearly Keady to Be Exchanged. Washington. July 29. The general arbitration treaties between the. United States and Great Britain and rue United States and France will be sign ed in Washington next week. An an nouncement to this effect was made today. After the signing of the treaties there will be a formal ex change between the governments con cerned. Secretary of State Knox will sign the treaty for the United States. Slight delays in the settlement of the exact verbiage of the two treaties have prevented the execution of the original purpose to conclude them this week and Secretary Knox is now binding nil of his efforts to have E 11 in readiness for the signatures of the plenipoten tiaries next week. THEY RAID A RANCH. Socialists Make IVIsoners of All In. eluding J-lve Americans. El Paso. Tex., July 29. A Sierra Blanca special id the Herald says: "Authentic telephone information was received here- today that 50 socialists raided the uervo ranch in Mexico, taking every one, including five Amer icans, pris-oners. The socialists were followed by 35 Maderista soldjers and fignting took place at the Carrizo ranch but the result is unknown. The Maderistas have a-ked for reinforce ments and Jose tie La Luz Blanco has the matter up with Madero by wire. The -Cuervo ranch, situated 75 miles Eouth of Sierra B'anca. is controlled by an American syndicate. Among the captured Americans are Ame Cressy, A. V. Mayes and James Ediionston. Grover Stephens, a cow boy, was also captured, but escaped and walked to the Love ranch on the American Eide of the river." BLACK HAND IDEA Frank Lindsay Brought Back Dynamite From Cherokee. Enough to Wreck One Wing of State House. FOUND IN A HOUSE Believed That Jointist Placed It There and Lighted Fuse. To Kill Informers They Were Saved When Fuse Was Cut. When Frank Lindsay returned t' Topeka today from the scene of aetivi-. ties in Cherokee and Crawford coun ties, in a cigar box he carried tinder his arm erough dynamite to blow tha south wing of the state house and ita occupants into eternity with slight op- -portunity to make preparations. Tha box full of triple strength dhnamite. the big detonating cap and the 50 feet of fuse was what had been in store fop a West Mineral man and woman sus pected of giving evidence against vio lators of the prohibitory law. Judge Lindsay and T. P. Burr were in the West Mineral district at tha time the execution of lS-year-old Mary Levesick was planned. The fuse at tached to the heavy charge of dyna mite was burning fiercely when a, boarder at the home of Jue and Mary Levesick discovered the plot and cut the fuse with a knife. Levesick, his lS-year-old bride an'l a boarder at the home had gone to West Mineral, a mile distance, to At tend a picture show. Jointists in the neighborhood had charged that Mary; Levesick had "peached" at a recent in quisition and given evidence against several jointists. Threats had then beou made against the family. As the three persons returned fronr town, they saw a man near the home. He disappeared they neared thej house. Then Mrs. Levesick rmellert somfthir.gr burning. It was the fuse. A search was made. The boarder found! the burnirg fuse and hastily cut the fuse several feet above the burning point. Then the party found the four heavy sticks of dynamite concealed in the chimney on the second floor off the home. It was wrapped in an oid. shirt and the charge of dynamite hal been so timed that it would have ex poied shortly after the three persons retired for the night. The following day Lindsay secured the coil of fuse. the four triple strength sticks of dynamite and the detonating cap and started for Topeka. via Kansas City. He arrived here this morning. "I am not a very exc'table man." explained Lindsay, after he had un wrapped the explosives i:i the attor ney general's office today, "but I want to tell you that the fifteen hours that stuff was in my possessk n was the most nerve wracking I ever spent. I was scared every minute that some jar would set the stuff off. I rode to Kan sas City, stayed there over night, then came to Topeka and rod-; to the stats house on a street car. This is the first good breath I have dnwn since I started on the trip." An effort is being male by the at torney general's office to locate the parties who put the dynamite in the Levesick home. Xo arrests have yet been made. "This stuff tells the sto-v of the con ditions in that country better than I can." said John Dawson, "and I want) to tell you that those fellows mean business They will stop at nothing. T have instructed every officer in that district that if anythinr arises that looks.like shooting to lie sure that they do the first shopting. If anyone thinks the Cherokee and Crawtcjrd count? conditions are a joke, thy- want to R down there, and try to en fore i the pro hibitory law." Then the officials in the youth wing of the state house conferred as to who should be delegated to take charge of the explosives. Weather Indication. Chicago. July 23. Forecast for Kan sas: Generally fair tonight and Sun day. j ADVERTISING TALKS WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEMAN The head of a Big Advertis ing Agency recently made a strenuous fight before a Board of Directors to get them to usa NEWSPAPERS TO BACK UP LOCAL DEALERS in several cities. He won. The advertising of the com pany had previously been placed almost wholly in magazines, but the agency man RECOGNIZES THE VALUE OF THE DAILY NEWSPAPER in helping the lo cal dealer to sell the produce of the manufacturer. The story he told me about this newspaper campaign illus trates in a most practical way why it is that newspapers do not get more national advertis ing. Here i shis story: "The advertising manager of the company whose business I have placed for several years wrote n the local agent in each city Inform ing him that a newspaper campaign had been decided upon and asked him to select the newspaper in his town which he thought should carry thu advertising. "The dealer replied, naming the papers, but suggested that he, the dealer, should be permitted to givo out the advertising BECAUSE HE COULD GET BETTER RATES than 1 could. (Continued on Page Three.)

S"iitl Was Kasier. The second game was more of a pity than a game. Blaine Durbln climbed the hill for Topeka and Ken worthy formed the central figure for the visitors. In the first spasm, Den ver scored two, thusly: Lloyd walked and advanced on two infield put-outs. On what should have been the third out, Emory threw Cassidy's roller wild and Lloyd came in. Advancing on a wild pitch, Cassidy also scored when Lindsay hit safe. But that was only a patching to the fifth fit in which the Kaws threw five Grizzlies over the pan. There were two hits and four errors In this epileptic stroke and Lloyd opened it with one of them. Quillen bunted to Durbin and Krepps took the throw at first muffing it, and Lloyd went all the way to third. Beall then inserted the other hit and Lloyd scored while Quil len went to second. Cassidy then bunted toward first and Whitney fielded the ball, tossing it to Krepps, who again muffed. There they were on second and third. Krepps had Just resumed his normal position when Lindsay rolled one down to him. He muffed again letting Quillen and Beall across. Collins snapped one at Dur bin and he caught it clean on the hop and shot it at Emory to cut down Cassidy. Elmory let the throw through and Cassidy and Lindsay, at his heela raced on over the rubber. Topeka Simply Couldn't. Durbin had allowed only five hits in the five innings and he went the next without any but the game was thrown in the well and Donovan fin ished it for him giving three hits and no runs. The Kaws had a chance just once against Kenworthy, a side-arm-movement jumplng-jack, and that came in the fourth stagger. Ken was about half out of control and Mert Whitney got some of that for a walk. Then he gathered in the ends and whiffed Gardner. Emory flew out. Crisp took a wild slow one on his back and went to first. A passed ball advanced the pair and Edmiston drew another walk filling the bags. Krepps stuck around awhile and he too drew a pass forcing Whitney in. That was all of it. Kenworthy recovered fully and whiffed Danny Dreamer closing for all time the Kaws chances of get ting into his repertory. Second Game. TOPEKA. Players AB. R. H. P. A. E.

Junction City, July 29. President Roy Gafford of the Central Kansas league today threw out Thursday's game at Concordia on Junction City's protest that the Travelers were using ineligible players. By winning the game Concordia made a clean sweep of the three games on their home grounds and had a big lead in the championship series, but the ruling of President Gafford changes the stand ing, making Concordia a winner of but two games and Junction City one. Friday's game in the pennant series was forfeited to Junction City, 9 to 0, in the seventh inning; because Man ager Harry Short of Crncordia re fused to leave the field when ordered to do so, following a decision on bases by Umpire Ludes. The score at that time was 7 to 0 in favor of Junction City. Haight had been hit hard, nine hits going for a total of fifteen bases. McGrew had allowed but three scat ing his speed.

St. Joseph Gazette: What a nice lit tle fellow the sporting editor of the Denver Times must be. He waits un til after the Drummers have been bluff ed out of three games by a mob of frenzied fans, armed with pop bottles, who are led to believe, by false reports, that the Grizzlies were mittreated here. arid then he corres out witn a state ment that the Denver ians just wurauw the Drummers and that they wouldi. for anything, even think of trying to intfmicate them, much less try to mob them. He probably thinks, since Den ver has treated the Drummers so poor lv that by applying a little salve, he can get good treatment for the Griz zlies here. The Santa Fe apprentices play the "O. J.

The first two of the games will be played on the appren tice diamond, corner of Branner and Seward streets, in shop yards. Satur day, August 5, and Sunday, August 6, 1911; the third game to be decided later. These two teams are the best on the system, and the games will de cide the championship of the system.

Pueblo Chieftain: Ralph Craig. Ip bell's new outfielder from Trinidad, arrived sesterday morning and was down at the park yesterday afternoon working out with Catcher Wacob, who waa left behind. Craig was a mem ber of the. Pueblo club once before but was forced to quit on account of ill health. He is now said to be in good condition and playing the game of his life. Craig is a mighty fast out fielder, can hit fairly good and can go down that first base line wfth the best of them. The Indians are woefully weak on the bases and Craig will coma in mighty handy to make them look better in this department. St. Joseph News-Press: Frank Tsbell didn't sell Jimmie Durham to the St. Joseph club because he believed Dur ham waa losing his grip, but simply because of circumstances broueht about by the knocking of Pueblo fans, who tore off a discordant tuna when Jimmie lost four games in a row. Durham became discouraged and quit. He refused to pitch for the Indians any more this season and he was like so much "dead stock" on Isbell's hands. When Holland offered to buy the pitcher, Isbell saw his chance to realize, and the deal waa made. There was a provision includ ed that Isn't generally known. Isbell told Holland he would sell Durham to St. Joseph providnlg Holland would promise not to pitch him against the Indians when the clubs play at Pueblo, and Holland promised. Evidently Isbell has all kinds of re spect for Durham' ability and does n't want to take chances of hearing the fans yelp if Durham should pitch against the Indians at Pueblo and give them a sound trimming. Pueblo Star Journal: That morn ing session held by Isbell certainly brought results and we would suggest that the local manager make them a permanent thing. In the game Tues day the team looked like a different aggregation from that of Monday. Isbell also changed his batting order and the chage seemed to work well. Roxie Middleton was taken from the. lead-off position and put in fourth place, the position of honor in tha batting order. And right here we want to say that Middleton will prove iiiiuaeu wormy or tno trust placed in him by his manager. No harder work er than this little fellow ever walked out upon the local diamond. Even when crippled so that he could hardly walk, the star outfielder has been giv ing his best to the local club. Middle ton haa been hitting well and many a run will be driven in by hia war club before the local season c'oses.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1911. RAILR0AD MEWS. New Santa Fe Cutoff Will 'Help Kansas. Southwestern Part of State Is Optimistic. ROAD BUYS ACHES Land Procured for New Eight of Way Work. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Dodge City, Kan.. July 29. This country and the southwest are greatly jtinfAH vf-or- thA n.tjsnraiK'e they now have of tne building of the Colmor cutoff from Jjotige uiy to wmm, M. parsing through Grav, Haskell, Seward. Sievens and Morton counties and on through practically an air line from Dodge City to Colmor. This of course cuts out all the heavy grades of the Glorietta mountains and Raton Pass and shortens the distance of the main Santa Fe route to California more than 100 miles. The grade on this line Is practically level and is very cheap to construct and when built, will make the short est line and the easiest grade of any ro?d to the west. The Sjnta Ke Investment company has purchased something like 2,300 quarter sections of land, starting at the southwest corner of Gray county and buying clear through to the west line of Morton county. The "reater part of this land has been placed on record in the various counties, and parties who are in po sition to know state that the money lias been provided for by the Santa Fe board of finance, and that nothing re mains now but a few preliminaries be fore actual construction will begin. Surveys, profiles and geographical maps have all been made, and nothing remains now for the construction de triment to do before beginning actual construction. With the building of this road tne people of southwestern Kansas will be put in touch with all the markets of the east. All the communities through which this line will run are very enthusiastic and are preparing to push their farms to a. high state of cultivation, and lands are booming; home seeliers and investors are seek ing investments along this line in crowds end in the course of a month or two' it is anticipated that large ex cursions will be run, both over the Santa P"2 and Rock Island for the peo ple who will take advantage of the building of this road to get in while the lands are cheap. Many of the most sanguine people n.tv,cr n ne lonrl that can now be bought for from $12.50 to $20 per acre advance to sou or ou buuh the road is in operation. The soil is deep and rich and will grow anything that will grow in any other similar climate, and using the Campbell system of dry farmins will make southwestern Kansas the banner portion of the state for the production of wheat and similar crops. VEED TO IjEAKN HOW TO SEIxLi. Frisco President Gives Advice to Texas Fanners. College, Tex., July 29. In an address before the Texas Farmers' congress at their annual meeting B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Frisco lines, advocated the co-operation of agriculturists in marketing their products. He cited that last year's products were worth nine billions of dollars to the farmers. He cited that the govern ment figures show that the farmer gets 46 cents for the products for -which the consumer pays one dollar. He said that the real problem is not the high cost of living, but the high cost of selling. "The cost of getting the year's products from producers to con sumers," said he, "amounted to the enormous sum of seven billion dollars." He illustrated how this cost of mar keting has been cut down by the peo ple of Denmark, and urged the upbuild ing of neighborhood marketing. "The neighborhood market house will become as important and popular in American life as the country school bouse. Popular education has been the strongest force in the development of America.

LARGER ENGINES FOR MO. P. New Track Calls for Test of More Motive Power. Wichita, Kan., July 29. To test out the track on the Wichita division of the Missouri Pacific that road has placed two new engines of larger type than heretofore used, in service be tween Wichita and Durand on extra freight runs. These engines are of lla tons weight and are capable of pulling 400 tons more than any engine former ly used. The Missouri Pacific track from Wichita to Fort Scott has been relaid with S.Vpound rails and new steel gir der bridges have been installed, in or der that these heavy engines may run on this part of the road. Freight trains of the Missouri Pacific railway between Wichita and Durand and that point and Fort Scott, are now pulled by engines which do not have i. drawing capacity of more than 750 tons each. These lighter engines will be supplanted by the heavier class. The Missouri Pacific officials are keeping account of the pulling power of these engines to determine what runs to place them on. About 20 of these engines w ill be placed in service on the Kansas divisions. They have eight drive and four truck wheels. READJUST NEW YORK CENTRAL. Plans to Consolidate Financial Man agement of Road. New York. July 29. Bankers con nected with the New York Central railroad interests have confirmed the report that plans are being consider ed for consolidating the financial man agement of the New York Central sys tem. It is expected that new consoli dation bonds will be it-sued to cover the outstanding obligations and pro vide means of financing for many years. Details of the plan are still under dis cussion. This is by far the largest readjust ment of railroad capitalization ever un dertaken involving several hundred million dollars of value and 18,000 miles of railroads. ADVERTISING TALKS. (Continued from Page One.) "I saw the newspaper representa tives, who told me that it was ab surd to think that the local dealer could buy advertising any cheaper than I could. "One representative told me that the rate of his paper was 22 cents a line that no better rate could be secured. Another representative told me that the rate in his paper was 12 cents a line that there was no lower rate. "Yet the 22-cents-a-line paner wrote to the advertising manager that the local dealer could buy ad vertising at 14 cents; and the 12-cents-a-llne paper wrote that the local dealer could buy advertising at 6 cents. "In neither case w a commis sion to be allowed to my agency if the lower rate was accepted. "This made me pretty hot under the collar, eo I Jumped on a train and visited the managers of these two newspapers, BOTH OF WHOM WITHDREW THEIR QUOTATION OF LOWER RATES and SUBSTI TUTED THE HIGHER RATES originally quoted by their repre sentatives. They did so that I might be paid a commission on the business. "That was not the purpose of my visit. What I wanted to get at was the reason for such a wide differ ence between the rates paid by the local dealer and the rates I. as an agent, was asked to pav for my client. "The explanation I got was that there was a marked difference be tween the rates paid by the local and the general advertiser. "There was nothing for me to do except to advise the advertising manager of the companv to let the dealer, wherever he could get a bet ter rate than I could, give out the advertising. "In my zeal to get the advertiser to use newspapers, I have punished myself to the extent of a loss in commissions amounting to upward oi $2,500. "Such a thing could not happen in. a magazine campaign. THEI RATES ARE THE SAME TO ALL. All agents in good standing receive Identically the same commission and cash discount. "Don't you think that the news papers should adopt a rate schedule that is open to all? If they wish to give discounts on the volume of business done by any advertiser, local or general, all right, but why not print the schedule so that we know where we are at- so that there 3 no deception? "Until all newspapers have a repu tation for STABILITY OF ADVER TISING RATES, it is going to be hard to get advertising agencies to work with enthusiasm for them, or to get national advertisers to have confidence in the integrity of their I rates." I Hardly necessary to say more, is it? But the sixty-five newspapers that are in the com- Jbmation printing these Adver- itising Talks will stand solid as a rock for UNIFORM AND STRAIGHT ADVERTISING i RATES.

BU11GLAK GETS AWAY Climbs Through Window With Alligator in Pursuit. Knows Owner From Strangers and Resents Intrusion. Pittsburg, Kan., July 29. George Hastings, owner of a meat market here, is the possessor of an alligator which serves the purpose of a "watch dog." The reptile has proven on numer oss occasions, that it may be relied upon to guard the shop at night. A snarling, hissing noise it mtikes is us ually enough to frighten th most in trepid and bold. It always tries to drive away danger in this way, but when this method fails, he springs upon the intruder and attacks him with its teeth. Recently an attempt was made to burglarize the Hastings butcher shop. Although it never has been positively known, it has always been the belief of Mr. Hastings that but one man, unaided made the attempt. A window in the iear of the shop was broken and the nocturnal visitor crawled through the opening. It was early in the evening, Mr. Hastings having closed the shop only a few minutes previous ly. He started home immediately af ter doing so, but after having gone but a few blocks, turned and retraced v,ia ccvia tho chrr to rvrocurft ft ills civpo 1 J x- package he had intended taking home that night.

The alligator was stand- six feet above the floor, with its mouth wide open ana its tongue projects At sight of its owner it ceased its hissing and at the command of Hast ings, left the window. It was on this occasion that Hast ings first learned that the animai would attack burglars. He turned on the lights and was looking about the place-to see if anything was missing wlien he found a pocket that had been torn from the burglar's coat. In the pocket was a glass cutter, which is supposed to have been used In remov ing the glass from the window.

Seventy-Four Warrants Issued to Col lect from Socialists. Fort Scott, Kan., July 29. Accord ing to Information received here by Attorney J. I. Sheppard, seventy-four warrants have been issued by the county attorney at Pittsburg for the arrest of persons who refused to pay poll tax, after hearing the decision of the justice of the peace before whom one such case was tried, with favorable results. Although seventy-four warrants have been issued, it is understood that the county will not attempt to prose cute every man arrested. One of the arguments advanced is that the law was passed in a bunch with numerous others. The statutes provide that each bill must be read separately, and Representative A. M. Keene was a witness at the past trial, where he testified that the law was not passed separately. However, he says one can not go behind the house jour nal, which proves in black and white what was done, and in this case proves that the hill was passed by a separate vote. WOMAN SCORES SCHOOL BOARD. Order Retnilring Peace Bond Sought in Quarrel Over Cattle. Fort Scott, Ivan., July 29. At the Instigation of the members of the Shiloh school board. Miss Ella Todd will appear in Justice Campbell's court today to be given a trial tp see wheth er she will be placed under a peace bond. Miss Todd is a real farmer, and she superintends the work on a large ranch all by herself. For years, it is said, she has been at war with the Thompson family. The present case arises from an argument over the disposition of stock. Miss Todd allowed cattle to run in the school house yard, according to the school board, and they served notice upon her to take them off. It is said that she took but part of them off. According to statements made to County Attorney Ramsey, she has said: "If anyone tries to put those cattle off they will find me there writh a shotgun ready to shoot." WRONG HERO GETS PRAISE.

Urfsafe to Tickle Anybody But Your self in Gridley Nowadays. Gridley, Kan., July 2 9. The town of Gridley called a special meeting of the city council and enacted an ordin ance against "tickling." The fact that it was enacted at a special meeting indicates that things -were critical in Gridley. The measure reads: AN ORDINANCE. Making it unlawful for any person to practice "tickling" another person, and fixing a penalty for same: Be it ordained by the Mayor and Council of the City of Gridley, Kan.; Section 1 That it shall be unlaw ful for any person to punch another person with thumb, finger, stick or other thing in the manner commonly known as "tickling." Section 2 Any person convicted of the violation of section 1 of this or dinance shall be fined in any sum not to exceed twenty-five dollars and shall stand committed to the city jail un til said fine and costs are paid. Passed by the council and approved by the mayor in special session, this 20th day of July,- 1911. J. R. ANSPAUGH, Mayor. C. E. PILCHER, City Clerk. A man from Burlington, the county seat of Coffy county, in which Grid ley is located, said the ordinance was passed because there was a bunch of young fellows in Gridley that annoyed older people and children very much, and there were some people so ner vous, even some women, that they were afraid to go up town. Members of the supreme court here are talking about the ordinance with interest, for they fear they may be called at some future period to pass upon its constitutionality. WOMAN MAKES CHICKS PAY. Mrs. Colwell of Clay Center Expects to Clear $100 Per Month. Smith Center, Kan., July 29. Mrs. Clara A. Colwell may be the cham pion individual chicken raiser of Kan sas. Since early last spring she has taken from her incubators and ship ped to different points in the United States more than nine thousand chick ens. She had the assistance of her young son. The chicks are shipped by express to purchasers when they are a day old and Mrs. Colwell has suffered very little loss by chicks dying while they were enroute, although one or two of her shipments went to Mexico. Some have also gone to Wyoming, but the majority of the shipments went to Oklahoma, Missouri, Colorado and this elate. She shipped three hundred chickens to Las Vegas. N. M., not long ago and upon their arrival there only two were dead. Mrs. Colwell has a 5-acre tract of land, but from this she derives a much greater profit from her chicken operations than do many farmers from a quarter section of land. She said her net profits this season have exceeded $100 a month, which includes eggs and chick ens sold on the local market. BTjTCHER CASHES BAD CHECK. Well Dressed Stranger Gets $19.75 and Leaves Town. Ottawa. Kan., July 29. Be careful about cashing checks for persons with whom you are not acquainted. A young man who looked to be about 20 years old went into the Baum meat market and said he wanted some meat but had no money except a check and that the banks were closed. Mr. Baum agreed to cash the check for him. The stranger bought 25 cents' worth of meat and tendered a check payable to Jesse Nappon and signed by W. T. Wood. Mr. Baum was told that Mayor Wood had just written the check" for Nappon after the closing of the banks. The butcher gave him $19.75 in change and the meat. He took the change and has not yet been located. Officers, how ever, are after him. EYE TORN FROM SOCKET. Flying Nail Cost Wellington Boy the Sight of One Eye. Wellington, Kan., July 29. To gst his left eye completely torn out by a flying nail, was the misfortune of Ru pert Rusk, the fifteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Rusk of rural route No. 6. The boy was driving nails into a j board. A glancing blow of the ham mer sent the nail he was driving, fly ing, and it struck his left eye. The eye was completely torn out- The boy ran into the house the blood stream ing from his face. He was immediate- ly brought to Wellington and received medical attention. The attending physician reports that they hope to be able to save the eye ball, but the sight will be lost. The other eye will probably not be affected. AND REGULATE PRICES? Washington. July 29. The step from an interstate commerce commis sion -which regulates freight charges to a commission which will regulate the prices of commodities handled or produced by business combinations is not a far cry. This movement, first suggested by Judg- Gary, the practical head of the Steel trust, was reiterated in different form by Attor ney General Wickersharr in a recent speech and criticised bv John E. Par sons, attorney for the Sugar trust be fore a government commission, all in the short space of two weeks. It shows that one of the great problems which the next congress will have to face will be the thrashing out of this important question. Those in favor of the suggestion believe that without hardship to the corporations, prices could be established and regulated so that there could not exist a trust so powerful that it would work contrary to the best interests of the people at large. On the other hand, those op posing the sentiment believe that this is a Socialistic teaching and that con gress should place no restriction on trade, leaving to competition the set tling of all prices. It is a new idea which is going to gain in momentum with discussion and there will un doubtedly be introduced in the next session of congress a bill looking to ward the regulation of prices of all business combinations. ITALIANS GOOD SPENDERS. Carelessness With Cash Wins Hearts of American Girls. Kansas City, July 29. It was the freedom with which Frank Collette, 19 years old, and Frank Badalle, 22 years old, Italian laborers in a cement plant at Chanute, Kan., spent their money for ice cream sodas, pop corn and tickets to moving picture shows that won the hearts of Nellie and Etta Meharry, 19 and 14 years old, daugh ters of J. R. Meharry of Chanute. "They treated us better than the American boys of the town," was the explanation of their infatuation for the dark skinned foreigners given the police by the girls when the four were arrested in a rooming house. The elopers had seen the story of their disappearance and their pictures and were packing their things to leave when arrested. At the station they made no secret of the fact that they had been passing as man and wife and the girls did not attempt to conceal their fondness for the Italians. "We never attempted to hide the fact that we liked Collette and Ba dalle at home," Nellie told Chief Grif fin, "and before we left I even told my father I was going away with Collette. He refused to believe me, however, acting like he thought I was iokinsr." The girls will be held until an an swer is received to a teigeram sent their father. The Italians probably w-ill be turned over to the prosecutor if Mr. Meharry desires to prosecute them. FAMILIES FLEE FROM FLOOD. West Moline Fnder Water Following Hard Rain. Grenola, Kan., July 29.

Dawson and Mayor Exchange Letters and Telegrams. Hutchinson, Kan., July 29. Mayor Vincent has received the following tele gram from Attorney General John S. Dawson "Unless your police will close tha joints in Hutchinson hotels and some resorts on the east side of town and keep them closed, the most disagree able consequences will fall upon you, and that in short order." Mayor Vincent was surprised at the threat of the attorney general and !s unable to understand why such a mes sage, which he deems insulting, was sent, as he says every effort is being made by the police to stop liquor sell ing in Hutchinson and he believes Hutchinson is drier now than at any time in twenty years. Mayor Vincent wrote a letter in which he informed Mr. Dawson that he was willing and able to look after the enforcement of law here, was do ing so and would resign and call on the attorney general's office for assist ance when the time arrived that it was impossible to enforce the law without such help.

Atchison, Kan., July 29.

Well do Kansans re member his spats fancy ;wetcut, monocle and all. Can an" (1 islde these-all theae-have been laid aside for heavy plow shoes coarse shir overalls and Jumper? It must be true since F. Dumont himself has given his word for the great transformation. H has gone out actually to shovel in the dirt with a section prang, and from choice, as will be seen. Mr. Smith is the editor of the Kansas Magazine, and he has set about to write real stories about the railroads of the state from a railroad mans standpoint. He is living tne life of a real railroad man. That is. he does the same things that the real rail road worker does when they will let Mm. He is not likely to do any coup ling of cars or testing airbrakes or anything like that, which requires ex perience, tut they let him look on The fireman mav let him try shoveling coal into the unsalable engine, or lie may shovel dirt and wield a crowbar with a track gang. At the IJallroads' Invitation. Mr. Smith carries credentials from four big western roads, the Union Pa cific the Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fe and tht Rock Island. These creden tials permit him to ride on any part of a train, either passenger or freight, ask any questions he sees tit of any employee, and it is required of the em ployee that answer bo. given. "The ordinary passenger knows little shout the operation of a train," Mr. Smith says. "Stories have been written about the locomotive engineer and the telegraph onerator. but few have un dertaken to weave romance about the life of a conductor, a fireman, brake man, section hand, train dispatcher and the men who hu.stle business for the road. 'A conductor meets with all sorts and conditions of men. He must know over a half-thousand rules by heart, know all the train connections at junc tions on his trip, and hear the com plaints of every known kind of a crank. A Ride on an Knuliic. "Kecentlv I rode In an engine from Hutchinson to Kinsley. It was that hot Sunday, and I marveled at the grit of the little fireman who shoveled tons vf ,-oal into the white hot furnace and then when he crawled to the cab win dow to get a breath of air was struck in the face by a baking wind. "Another time I rode in a locomotive flf'er night when the headlight went out and the hi? passenger engine thun dered down the track at almost a mile a minute clip. "Such incidents as these are real ro mances. They are worth telling about. "I am going out one of these days to watch a gang of Mexican track la borers r?pair a roadbed. I shall don e pair of overalls and live the life of p laborer for a day at least." DAD S FUNERAL WORTH $2,000. Western Vnion Handles Message Care lessly. Knight Charges. Wichita, Kan., July 29. Luthor Knight of Andover Is the first person In this part of the state to put a cash value on his father's funeral.

Preacher Returns $3 Paid for Praying for Legislature. Madison, Wis., July 2 9. Rev. A L. Tull, a retired Methodist minister, has lost faith in the Wiscorsin legislature and has returned the check for $3 which he was paid for delivering a prayer in the senate, with a letter to State Treasurer Dahl, reading as fol lows: "I received your check for $3 for delivering a prayer in the senate. I thank you and the senate for the courtesy, but return it. It would be purely commercialism to accept $3 from the senate for aski.ig the favor of the Lord. "Really, it seems as if tne $672 paid for prayers during this session was lost money. As the legislature did such 'rotten' business on all temperance measures, it indicates that not a single prayer reached the Lord for the pro motion of temperance, but that He favored the breweries and saloon keepers. How could praver for money fail? "I have been sunk in debt for six teen weeks and needed money worse than any of them, but not such money." MASS ACHVSETTS LAW UPHELD.

Filed 21 In 6 Months; Schenck Used 5 in 4 Years. WORTH $50 TO 200 PER The Cases of the Throop Hotel and Elks' Club. Case Where Fees Were Accepted and No Prosecution. For six months that perfectly legal fee graft the liquor injunction has been working overtime in Shawnee county. Since taking the oath of of fice in January, E. R. Simon, county attorney, has filed 21 injunction pro ceedings in the district court, as against a record of five injunction suits filed by his predecessor in four years. Of these 21 cases, the courts have passed on but nine. In these nine cases Simon received fees in the amount of $600. From parties who pleaded guilty or were convicted for violations of the prohibitory law at the April term of court. Simon received an additional $250. To this $850 is added $100 which feimon received from the governor's contingent fund, "for liquor investiga tions." This total of $950 must be ad ded to. $1,250, which shows Simon's in come for the first six months in office to be $2,200. In addition to the $2,200 which the office has paid in six months, is a realization of the fact that there are yet 12 of the 21 injunction suits from which fees will be collected. The Injunction a Gold Mine. According to a little paragraph in the Kansas statutes, the liquor in junction is a perfectly legal and harm less tool in the hands of a diligent pub lic prosecutor. But for some time that rather innocent little section has work ed overtime. That law provides that if a county attorney has cause to be lieve that liquor is sold, kept for sale, or drank on certain premises, that such action constitutes a nuisance and an injunction may be procured to prevent infractions of the law. For this ardu ous service that sometimes requires all of 15 minutes the county attorney may receive a fee of $100. This fee is paid by the party against whom the injunction is granted and the fee be comes a lfin noon the property. By certain public officials. It is said that the Inji notion act aids in the enforce ment of the prohibitory law in Kan sas. In Shawnee county the injunction sems not to have closed the joints. Injunctions have been granted against buildings, lawyer's fees collected and vi olators moved across the street and re newed operations in a perfectly sani tary building. Fees on Top of Fees. From another section of the session acts, the county attorney finds a sec ond clause thr.t provides that for each count on which a violator pleads guilty, or is convicted, the county attorney may collect $25 for his "services" from said jruilty party. Tn six months this clause wa3 worth $250. Perhaps never In the history of Shaw nee county has a public official impos ed on the spirit of a law more than was evidenced in the recent cases against the Throop hotel. That bit of Feemingly legal contortion is yet a puzzle in the minds of court attend ants. The Case or the Throop Hotel. In the complaint againtt the Throop, Simon charged 35 bona fide sales of liquor. Two negro porttrs who were arrested at. the time of the raid were permitted to plead guilt; on one count each. From these men Simon collect ed $50 as attorney fees for "prosecut ing" the case. Then the wonderful thing happened. Records show that the Throop propri etors admitted that perhaps liquor had been sold in the hotel by porters with out their knowledge. Everyone of these 35 counts, which Simon swore to personally. were dismissed. The next day Simon waived to the dis trict court room, where ho secured an order allowing him $200 for slapping an injunction on the hotel. day people ask strange questions why Simon did not prosecute- tne case li he was sincere and allov some of the money to go to the scho'.l fund. Attacked Ellis Club. Just a. few weeks ago the county at torney secured a temporary injunction against the Elks' club, without evi dence of a single sale. But the Elks have donned their fighting clothes and will contest any attempt to collect a fat attorney's fee at their expense. Watch for final returns or. the Elks in junction. Here is a bit nt court record tnat shows developments to date in Simon's campaign as a law enforcement offi cial: No. Title Case.

But in looking over the records the contribu tions from persons who were convicted or pleaded guilty to violations of the liquor law should not be passed. The cases cited above are taken from the civil appearance docket in docket ZZ. The criminal appearance docket, with suit numbers attached, shows amounts received from the violators. The Uttlo Fees.

While the liquor cases themselves seem to have brought in a fair reve nue for the initial six months, yet it was not all that was required to keep down the Shawnee county lid. From the governor' and attorney general's contingent funds were a few payments to Topeka jworkere, .which, was prob- ably necessary that law enforcement should prevail In the county. These vouchers were offered in the trial of a recent liquor case, but they never got to the jury. In the vouchers here ehown, only a few of the Clerin Zum walt revenue is revealed and but one payment each to Frank M. Stahl and E. R. Simon are given. Tlie State's Assistance.

TRADE IS HALTING. Business Is Checked by War Scare and Agitation of Reciprocity. New Tork, July 29. R. G. Dun Co. s review says: A variety of conflicting envelopments affect trade conditions, among them the passage of the Canadian recirroc ity bill, unsettlement over the outcome of the negotiations touching adjust ment of affairs in Morocco, and the decision by the interstate commerce commission in the Spokane rate case and similar cases. These influences however, are mainly of importance in their relations to the future. Moderate improvements mark con ditions in iron and steel, although in eastern territory pig iron buying is of restricted volume. The best showing is In finished steel products. There is further slight expansion in mill opera tions. The leading Interests are work ing at a little over 70 per cent of its ingot capacity, while blast furnace op erations are increasing three addition al furnaces having been in commis sion.

Hoffman ap peared to be deeply in ic.ve with the second wife and was dis cnsolate when she declined to re-marry him. SEAIj TREATY THREATENED. Already Japs and Russia Are Having Trouble Over It. "Washington, July 29. The issue be tween Japan and Russia over the seiz ure of a Japanese fishing and sealing vessel by the Russian authorities on the Siberian coast, may, it is feared, endanger consummation of the recent ly negotiated seal treaty. The Japanese assertion is that the vessel was seized far beyond the ma rine league distance from the Russian shore line, which marks territorial jurisdiction. It is understood here that the Rus sian government some months ago sought to extend its territorial rights to a distance of thirty miles from the shore line. The Japanese government refuses to recognize this extension. So far, no official notice of this Rus sian claim to jurisdiction over the high seas has been received in Washington and consequently the state department officials are unwilling to indicate what action they would take In the matter. It is recalled here, however, that the American claim to Jurisdiction over Bering sea was rejected by the Paris arbitration. Included in the American case was the ukase by the Russian em peror, claiming jurisdiction for 100 miles off the Alaskan coast, which also fell with the broader American claim. As this international arbitration ap parently settled affirmatively and for all time the binding force of the. old. IV-"- lr- WHEATJSVEAKER Week-End Profit Taking Counts Against Tallies.

WHEAT Week-end profit-taking in wheat today counted against values. The result was to cool down buying enthusiasm, notwithstand ing the bullish outlook for the spring crop in the northwest.

Money to Loan -ON- REAL ESTATE Capitol Building Loan Association 534 Kansas Ave. From reports received frorr. all over the state by J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Santa Fe, it is ev ident at this time that the corn crop in Kansas is in better shape than it was last year. Furthermore it is believed by Topeka railroad officials that the com yield will be large.- than it was in 1910. It is figured by General Freight Agent Koontz that 20 per cent of the total state acreage was planted in early corn. Of this 20 per cent corn acreage it is estimated that 85 per cent is badly damaged. This corn tasseled out in the dry weather of a few weeks ago. The remaining bO per cent of the corn ac reage Is in better condition than it was last year and hopes are entertained cheerfully that ti e yield will be larger. These estimates prepared by Mr. Koontz come from many sources. He sent out a circular letter this week to all of the cgents of the Santa Fe and to many grain and business men. The answers came back as conservative estimates and the conclusion drawn above is considered reliable. In order to show the condition of the corn in clirrerent localities in tne state reoorts from Santa Fe towns an.1 cities reveal the folowing: Strong City Corn filling out in fine snape. twos prospects ior a iuu crop.
