WILL GOOH STAND Henry Clay Beattie, Accused of Murdering His Wife, Will Tell His Own Story to the Jury. CROSS EXAMINATION Of His Cousin Fails to Shake Previous Testimony. The First Effort Toward Cor roborative Evidence Fails. Chesterfield, Aug. 23. raul D. Beattie, cousin of Henry Clay Beat tie, Jr., indicted for wife murder, re mained unmoved today under a volley of questions from counsel for the de fense, w iio attempted to shake the witness' story of yesterday in which was introduced an alleged confession to him by the prisoner concerning the tragedy. Practically the entire cross-examina-tk.n by counsel for the defense was concentrated on the effort to show that Paul Beattie recited an entirely dif ferent story yesterday from the one which he related at the coroner's in quest and that he had on the first oc casion suppressed a part of his knowl edge of the case. The witness maintained that this was due to his nervous collapse at the coroner's inquest and he was excused without changing his startling testi mony of yesterday. John Sand iter, an intimate friend of the prisoner for several years who accompanied the latter to Harry M. Smith's home two nights after the murder follows Paul Beattie on the witness stand for the prosecution. He was expected to confirm the testimony that Hen.' C. Beattie, Jr., telephoned that night to Paul to ask the latter to carry a message to Beulah Binford. He did not do so and failed to give any light on the subject and became a witness for the defense. Sandfer tes tified that the relations of Henry C. Beattie. Jr., with his wife were pleas ant so far as he knew. He said he had visited Henry and members of his family since the murder and had ex pressed his sympathy for the accused. Wells Was With Him. Luther Wells, who w as best man at Henry Beattie's wedding- succeeded Sandit'er as a witness for the prosecu tion. He testified that he was with both Sandifer and the prisoner after leaving the home of Lawyer Smith on the night after the murder. "What did you all do when you left Mr. Smith's house?" asked Mr. Wen denberg. "Henry said he wanted to 'phone raul Beattie." "What did you say to him after he phoned?" "I asked him if he had got Paul, he said yes." "Ask him anything else?" "Yes, if he felt better." "Did you go home with him then?" "Yes." "Anyone else there?" "His father." "What was said?" "Henry told his father that Mr. Smith had all that 'the woman knew.' "What woman?' asked the father, and Henry said. 'The same." "Son, I'm sorry you are so indiscreet, said the father as he turned away." "What woman was meant?" "Beulah Binford." Court recessed at 11 o'clock. Accused Will Testify. Henry Clay Beattie, jr., is sure to go on the stand in his own defense. 'I his statement was made by Harry M. Smith, jr.. lawyer for the defense, out side the court room today. "It is much better, isn't it." said Mr. Smith, "for a man to give with his own lips an explanation of a thing which a half dozen other people have been tes tifying about. Everyone has observed Henry Clay Beattie, jr., and noticed that he is the kind of a man to want 10 reply to the many conversations al leged to have been had with him by Paul Beattie and others." Mr. Smith characterized Paul Beat tie's testimony of yesterday as "over done," declaring that it was a plain case of the w itness "lying to save his shirt" as it was axiomatic that if Henry Clay Beattie, jr.. were guilty, Taul was just as much so. It had not been determined as yet, fidded Mr. Smith, when the prisoner would testify. Court reconvened at 10:30 o'clock and Taul Beattie immediately resume! the witness chair for cross-examination by the defense. Sheriff Gill gave Taul a glass of water and the prisoner tyed the witness carefully as he sat in the nrm chair before the jury. Paul was chewing gum and appeared well composed. Cross-Ksanii nation. "Mr. Beattie." began Mr "did you work the Wednesday Smith, f olio w- iner the murder? "I think I did." "When did vou hear about the mur der?" "Tli? fel'owing da?-." "You are sure you did not hear pbout It before it happened?'' "No." "Did you work Thursday or go to bridge where you worked as a watch man?" "Don't know the man." "Did you meet anybody on the bridge the day following and talk with him about the murder?" "Mr. Booth." suggested counsel for the defense, "is a middle-aged man, smooth shaven." "No. I don't remember. Somebody brought me the papers and I read of the murder." "D id you work Thursday or go to the bridge?" "No. I did not go anywhere until that night, when I went to Uncle Henry's." "This man. Mr. E. W. Booth, that I have described, T understand discuss ed the murder with you and you said you did not believe ilenry committed the crime because he always was de voted to his wife. Did you make this statement to him or anyone else?" "No." "You say you bought the gun on Saturday?" "Yes." "Did, Henry say anything about keeping the matter of the gun secret that day?" "No. not until after the murder" "You did not tell a living soul about the gun though under no pledge of secrecy, from Saturday till Thursday night Did Not Tell Anyone. "No, I did not tell anyone until then." 'Then you have made two conflict ing statements in your previous testi mony, as you said you told your wife Wednesday night and also Thursday." "I never told her till Thursday night." "Weren't you in a right bad fix when Detective McMahon found out that you bought the gun?" "Sure. I was in a right bad fix." "You knew from the newspapers on Wednesday that the gun had been found "I did not and I don't remember much about that day. I was in a bad shape, especially when I learned that I had bought a gun for my own cous in." "You are beter now, aren't you?" "Yes, with that story off my mind." Mr. Smith directed a fusillade of questions against Paul, pointing to varying statements in his testimony before the coroner's jury, but the wit nes maintained that he was in poor mental condition when he testified there. "How did you know when the Beat tie store closed that Saturday when you met Henry and gave him the gun? Did you have a watch?" "No, I haven't got enough money to buy a watch." "How did you know?" "Henry said so?" "Another thing vou omitted yester day was the fact that you worked In a butcher shop near the pawnshop. Why did you do so?" "I thought I mentioned enough places that I worked." "But that was an important point to omit." The witness made no comment. "Had you ever been in that pawn shop before?" continued Mr. Smith. 'Yes, once, to borrow a dollar. 'You say that Henry Clay Beattie, jr., called you on the 'phone and ask ed you to buy the gun?" "Yes." Prisoner Did Not Visit Him. "Had Ilenry Clay Beattie. jr., ever called you on the 'phone since you were married a year ago? Had he ever since then visited you socially?" "Xo. But he xised to 'phone me be fore I was married." "When you were on the stand at the inquest, was it solicitude for Hen ry or Paul that made you testify as you did?" "I don't know what solicitude means. I never had much schooling, Mr. Smith. What does it means?" "Do you know what 'solicitous' means?" "No." "Well, we'll leave iU" said Mr. Smith, "but did you say anything at the coroner's inquest about going to McEvoy's and taking a drink? I want to test your memory." "I don't remember whether I said it or not. I to in a bad nervous state," reiterated the. witness. "How long had you known Beulah. Binford "I didn't know her except that I took shoes and things to her for Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., for four years." "Did you call her Beulah?" "No." "Did her mother live witfc her?" "I don't know anything about her mother. I do not mix up with those people," added Paul, resentfully. "Did you know- who Mrs. Fisher was when Clay Beattie, Jr., asked you to deliver messages?" He Recognized Her. "No, but I recognized her as Beulah when I saw her." "Then she did not know you except as a messenger?" "No." "You never ran around with her?" "No. I don't run around with such people." "Quite a safe position for a married man," commented counsel. Then followed suddenly the question "Mr. Beattie, are you an epileptic?" "What does that mean, crazy? No." The witness raised his voice and an swered emphatically: "When you bought the gun you paid for it with a ten dcSllar bill though Henry gav j you a two dollar bill?" "Yes, I wanted to change a ten dol lar bill I had." "Did you give an:- such reason at the coroner's inquest as to why you paid for the gun that way?" "I didn't know what I said." "You went out on the side porch of Henry's home on Thursday night after the murder?" asked counsel for the de fense. "I did." "He never asked you before Thurs day night to 'stick by him?' "He had no reason to because he did not tell me until Thursday that he did it." "But you said you would not sti: k by him and would tell all yet j'ou did not tell all at the coroner's inquest the next day?" "I hated o tell against my own flesh and blood and I hate it now." As the witness uttered these remarks he looked squarely at counsel for the defense and at the prisoner. "Did you tell your grandmother or grandfather at Henry's home after the murder what you knew about the gun?" Ho Felt Sorry for Them. ''I felt sorry for them and Uncle Henry, too." "You told your wife only about the gun. not the whole business?" "Yes." "Then you told her just enough to clear yourself?" "I wasn't trying to clear anybody." "When Henry called you on the tele phone and asked if you had been sum moned by the coroner lie chuckled?" "Yes, he laughed, 'ha, ha, ha. Cross-examination ended at 11:40 and Prosecutor Wendenberg took the wit ness on redirect examination. The man who sold the cartridges, the bartender who served Paul and Henry with drinks and others who saw the cousins together on the day following the purchase of the gun and prior to the murder have been sub poenaed by the prosecution for the purpose of corroborating the testi mony of yesterday. With this angle of proof completed the prosecution admitted early today it would be pre pared to rest its case, allowing the defense to begin its direct examina tion of some thirty witnesses sub poenaed by it. The prosecution has not called some of its important wit nesses including Beulah Binford. "the girl in the case." but will reserve them for the rebnttal.

TAFT IS UNGRATEFUL And Also Misstates the Facts, the Speaker Declares. Threatens to Cut Off Supplies of the Tariff Board. Quincy, 111., Aug. 29. Champ Clark, speaker of the national house of rep resentatives, before leaving here early today, replied emphatically to Presi dent Taft's speech delivered at Hamil ton, Mass., last Saturday. In a signed interview, the speaker accused the president of not stating facts. He said he did not reply for the insurgent Republicans who "no doubt will take up the cudgel in their own behalf. He declared among other things, that if the tariff board is to be used as a pretext for d;laying tariff revision downward the Democrats will cut off its supplies. "President Taft's speech at Hamil ton, Mass., last Saturday," said Speak er Clark, "can only be described as remarkable, w hen the history of the recent past is taken into consideration. He essayed the rather large stunt of running amuck on both the Democrats and the insurgent Republicans in con gress, singling out Mr. Chairman Un derwood and myself particularly as Democrat targets. T accept his on slaught as a badge of honor. "The president and I are personal friends. He has done me many kind nesses and I have tried to repay them so far as opportunity has served. He is as a rule a most amiable gentleman, but at the time he seems to have been in a bad temper; because he sees de feat staring him in the face. I would say nothing unkind about him. but I can not and will not permit his per sonal strictures and his bald misstate ment of historical facts to go unchal lenged. Taft Is Ungrateful. "The president's criticism of Mr. Un derwood and myself, which is essential ly a criticism of all Democrats in the hotise and senate is absolutely uncall ed for and is as ungrateful a perform ance as I can remember: for. if it had not been for the action of the Democrats in the house in both the Sixty-first and Sixty-second congresses in lining up almost unanimously in favor of re ciprocity with Canada, he wmiM have been the most thoroughly discredited and humiliated president since the days of Andrew Johnson. The president says, that we did not play polities about reciprocity but that we did play poli tics about the tariff. the only poli tics we played was to keep faith with tho people. If any politics was played on reciprocity the president himself iplaved it personal t that. "He seems to tnink we ought to havs adjourned as soo.i as reciprocity was disposed of that is. he seems to think congress is composed of a lot of fchool boys to be ordered by him as head teacher; but he was forewarned both by Mr. Underwood and myself that if he called the extraordinary session we wotild pass tariff bills and such ether bills as the Democrats deemed advis ahle. He will not deny that statement. "We made the best record of con structive statesmanship made by any congress in the same length of time in a generation and that fact is precisely what caused the president to assail the Democrats In congress. He had sa'd the rates of the wool schedule in "he Payne-Aldrich tariff bill were too libra and ought to be reduced. We reduced them. In the teeth of his W'nona speech and his other declarations to the effect that said rates were too high and ought to be reduced, he vetoed our wool bill, whioh largely reduced the rates and would have greatly reti.yjed the people by giving them much cheap er clothing and blankets. He vetoed it, thereby going over boots and breech3 to the standpatters. Accepts the Issue. "We cheerfully meet him on that issue." Mr. Clark asserts that the members of the tariff board, while well inform.jd men in a general way, are not tariff ex perts and are not as well qualified to furnish information on the tariSC, as are Mr. Underwood and himself, who have studied the question for many years. In reply to the criticism of the presi dent that the wool bill was rushed through congress without due consid eration Mr. (.'lark declared that the Democrats devoted just ten times as much time to a schedule as did "Brother Payne and his Republican coadjutors on ways and means." "Instead of being slapped hastily together w ithout due consideration, the wool bill was one of the most thoroughly and carefully considered tariff bills ever presented to any pres ident for his signature," said Mr, Clark. "In view of the foregoing facts it surely must be that the president in his zeal to reform the broken lines of the standpatters forgot that all men were entitled to a square deal when he tittered this monstrous and pre posterous sentence: 'The bills bear internal evidence of the fact that they are on a basis of not tariff for revenue only, but tariff for politics only.' "Really I do not see how he could find it in his heart to utter the fore going words for which there is no ba sis of the fact in the universe. The president rushed in to create an issue. We pick up the glove flung into our faces and the faces of the consumers of the land. We gladly accept his gage of battle." Weds Sixth Husband at 96. Troy. Mo., Aug. 2 9.

Homeward bound, Admiral Count Togo boarded the Jaipa nese liner Ta.inba Maru today and .started on the last leg of his tour aro.md the world. Americans and Jap anese crowded about the wharf in an effort to get a farewell glimpse of the nero. vv.ien Admiral Togo mounted the gangplank the crowd cheered him vo.-iferously and he turned and smil ingly bowed his acknowledgment. Admiral Togo fcaw for the first time the Pereherori stallion Togo, presented to him by Frud Jv. Keisel of Oeden, Utah, when he went aboard the ship ioau.y. i-ie was interested in the beau tiful animal and petted it and stroked its r.cck several minutes. Promptly at 10 o'clock a 2or.fr blast from the deep whistle of the Tamba Maru told that she was ready to slio into the stream. Hasty handshakes were exchanged with the American and Japanese committees that accompanied the admiral aboard, the visitors hurrying ashore. The demonstration at the wharf was insignificant compared with that given along the water front as the Tamba Maru, with Admiral Toga standing on the bridge beside her commander, moved slowly along through the har bor. Every vessel in the bay tooted its whistle and factories on the tide flats joined in the noise making. The steamship moved south along the water front three miles until she came op posite the heart of the city then turned westward, joined the waiting cruisers West Virginia flagship of Hear Admiral W. H. P. Sutherland, and Colorado, and proceeded toward the sea. In addition to the escort of the American warships, the Japanese organization of the city had chartered boats to follow the Tamba Maru until she had passed out of the sound and the procession was an imposing one. The West Virginia and Colorado .ac companied the Tamba Maru until she reached international waters, when the cruisers fired a parting salute and heading southward, oroeeeded to Pin. Francisco, while ijie Japanese liner with Admiral Togo aboard continued her journey across the Pacific. The Admiral Wires Taft. Beverly, Aug. 29. Admiral To.?o as he was about to sail for Xapan from Seattle, sent the following tele gram to President Taft: "Pray accept my heartfelt thanks for your kind farewell message. Al low me to express again Mr. President my deepest gratitude for the great i honor which you have done me and my highest appreciation of the most cordial and friendly welcome which your government and people have so kindly accorded me during my stay in this country. I only regret that my present visit has been so much limit ed. Wishing you good health and prosperity." RECALL WILL GO OUT. But Will Be Pat Back When Arizona Is a State. Safford, Ariz., Aug. 29. At a mass meeting of the chief Democrats of Gra ham county held today to decide on party action on the question of accept ing statehood and eliminating the re call of judiciary feature of the constitu tion it was unanimously decided to vote for striking out the recall provision and to pledge all candidates for every office and especially for the legislature to provide for immediate replacement of the measure after admission to the Union has been consummated. .11 mini e Ward Is Divorced. Chicago, Aug. 29. Mrs. Mary W. Ward, who caused the arrest of her husband, James W. Ward, during his participation in the international avia tion meet here has obtained a divorce from the aviator.

He will assume charge of his new position on September 1. His Professor George E. Myers. New Head of the Pittsburg, Kansas, Manual Training School. salary w ill be $3-500 a year, w hich is an increase of $1,000 over his present pay. Early this month a committee of the state board of regents of Kansas, of which Sheffield Ingalls. son of the late Senator John J. IngaJls, is president, came to Washington in the course of a tour of several cities in search of a man for the place, and interviewed Prof. Myers. At the conclusion of the interview the committee tendered him the position, which he has just accept ed. Later, upon the recommendation of Prof. W. M. Davidson, superintendent of the Washington schools, Charles P. Carey, state superintendent of schools of Wisconsin, came to Washington ana offered Prof. Myers a similar place in Wisconsin. In neither instance did Prof. Myers seek an outside position, but in both cases his prominence as head of the Washington school served to bring the offers to him. Prof. Myers came to Washington about five years ago. and has since been principal of the McKinley manual training school, which is one of the largest of its kind of institutions in the country. He was educated at Ot tava, Kan. Afterwards he took the degree of master of arts at Chicago university, and then took a position as teacher in the Colorado Springs high school, from which he was promoted to principal. He resigned that position to work for a Ph. D. degree at Clark university, Worcester. Mass., which was conferred upon him two years later, in 1906. It was just after being graduated with tho doctor's degree that he came to the national capital. Superintendent Davidson, of the Dis trict cf Columbia schools, in an inter view with the State Journal corres pondent, expressed his regret at the loss of Prof. Myers to the Washington schools, and said that his place would be difficult to fill owing to the scarcity of men trained for positions as heads of manual training schools. Dr. Davidson explained to the State Journal that the position to which Professor Myers goes to accept in Kan sas will give him especial prominence in educational cricles throughout the country. The normal training school in Kansas, he said, is the first school of its kind under state control, de signed for the training of manual training school teachers, and It is al ready attracting attention of the whole country. Dr. Davidson, who was only a few months ago appointed superintendent of the schools of the District of Colum bia, is a well known Kansas educator. Evidently some one is very busy in Rome, Italy, in the matter of sending out letters to officials of various cities in the United States. Similar letters to the one addressed recently to Mayor Billard of Topeka have been received in Washington and other cities. These letters are all the same in wording: "Vos es vester amicus et inimicus pereo ut mortis eternus." which translated means, "You and your friends and enemies shall perish in eternal death." They are signed "Josafat." Mr. Cuno Rudolph, one of the com missioners of the District of Columbia, received one of these letters today. Several mayors of cities in this coun try have been placed in receipt of simi lar communications. Evidently, some body in Home is planning a wholesale slaughter of American municipal ofii ciais. with a few Canadian officials thrown in for good mearure, as the mayor of Toronto, Canada, also has received one of the letters. A more threatening letter from the same source, it is understood, was receievd by Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, w-hile the same applies to' Mayor Smith of Hartford, of that state. Kansas postmasters appointed: Claude F. Reeves. Ogallah; John F. Resse, Yoeemento; Joseph R. Furthcy, Niotaze. THREE WIVES SUE. The Marital Bonds Best Heavily Upon Them. Three petitions for divorce were Sled in the district court late Monday after noon by wives whose soul mates were not as congenial as they should have been. For the second time in two years Clara E. Walton has asked for a di vorce from William W. Walton, for merly president of the Central Com mission company. This concern has recently gone out of business and AVsJ ton is now employed by a California fruit company. In 1909 Mrs. Walton asked a divorce from her husband on a general charge of penurious treatment. She said Wal ton nagged at her and made life un bearable and often threatened to leave her. When he finally made good his threat, she brought suit. She received the custot. of the child and J40 a month alimony. Later there was a re conciliation and in April, 1910, Wal ton and his wife were reunited. Now Mrs. Walton charges gross neglect of duty and asks custody of their eight-year-old son and permanent alimony in an amount to be determined by the court. Flora Elliott has asked for a di vorce from George W. Elliott on the grounds of non-support. She says her husband has contributed nothing toward her support for more than one year. Elliott lives at "15 Lake street and is employed as an installer by the Independent Telephone company. Because her husband refused to acknowledge her as his wife and did 'not provide for her support, M. M. Mc Cready seeks a decree from C. Samuel McCready. In her petition the woman says she was married to McCready in Kansas City in January. Her husband asked her to keep the marriage a sec ret for a few weeks. Then when the wife finally insisted that she should carry her husband's name. McCready is said to have become indignant and deserted her. Mrs. McCready wants a divorce and half of $2,000 worth of property which her husband owns. OTHER STAMPS BARRED. Letters May Bear Only Those of the Postal Service. Washington, Aug. 29. An order which will eliminate from the mails absolutely the Red Cross stamps and the MeNamara defense fund trtamps because on their faces they are called "stamps" has een issued by Post master General Hitchcock after con ferring with Third Assistant Britt. The use of such stamps on the ob verse side of letters was forbidden. Much inconvenience in handling the mails from particular localities has been experienced by the postal auth orities on account of the increasing use of adhesive stamps. In view of the trouble experienced from the use of the Red Cross stamps during the last Christmas holiday period. Postmaster General Hitchcock issued an order that no adhesive stamps except United States postage stamps should be attached to the ad dress side of a leter or package. Thousands of letters bearing stamps on the obverse side of the en velopes have been received at the dead letter office since the order. HE DROPS FROM CLOUDS Atwood Lands oil the Aviation Field Xear Boston. Boston. Aug. 29. Harry N. Atwood swept down out of rain-.soaked clouds upon the aviation field at Squantum late yesterday to receive the plaudits of thousands of his home people gather ed for the second day of the Harvard Boston aero meet. Atwood made the trip from the golf links at Woolaster, a few miles away. While the band played "Hail to the Chief," the automobile horns shrieked, brother aviators and friends rushed to greet the flier. Further evidence of appreciation was shown in the presentation of a bronze trophy and a cup from newspaper men of Boston. Another Perfect Day. This is another almost perfect day.

Dail and Emory Insert Punches When They Mean Runs. More Errors and Less Hits Fail to Hold Kaws. The Kaws celebrated their home coming by taking a closely contested game from the Grizzly Bears, 4 to 3. They did it with fewer hits and more errors and with more walks and more 'Etolen bases against them. The secret of the win was a pair of Dingles at the psychological moments. XJail and Emory served the punches, a, ii hrinains home two runs. It was an example of when a hit is timely and f the. finest exhibitions the Kaws mvc staired in that line this season. The Lyon's outfielder who is filling King's shoes delivered a tnree in the first inning, clearing two off the sacks. Rickert started the business, after Manning flew out, by rapping a singlo to left. Whitney hit down to Schreiber who assayed to cut Rickert off at second. The throw was hurried and Coffey dropped it. Mert was re tired a moment later at second, how ever on Emory's high fly to Beall, who dropped the ball but pegged to second Rickert went to third on the play and Emorv stole down to second. Then it was Dail drove his three base one out to center. Chapman struck out. lea ing the pinch hitler on. Barney Recovers Balance.

The visitors made a desperate effort to even it up in the seventh after two were gone. Beecher kept tnem from Betting an earlier start by starring a ,atch near the foul line for Lloyd and tiilmore whiffed for Danny. Beall drew mi the little port sider for a walk, however, and CassiJy clouted. xhey couldn't wait for Quillen to finish li s attempt and tried to elucidate a little on the bases.

Against these, the American league offers Charley street, Ira Thomas, Ed Sweeney, Ted Easterly, Jimmy Stev ens, Billy Sullivan, Bill Carrigan and Oscar Stanage, all good men but scarcely to be compared with the cracks of the National leaguf. In the way of promising catchers of the future, the American league seems to have a little the better of the argument.

The dean of the Western umpire staff paid Topeka his first visit of the season Monday and was the first offi cial wHo has tried to hurry the game along. He didn't have much luck be cause the other indicator handlers have let the players get fhe habit of two hour or longer games. Uraps Shoemaker trailed along with Haskell to call the' base decisions. The dean usually takes all the blame but Tip O'Neill has a lot of extras work ing out this season and Shoemaker needs some schooling. Despite his prowess, it was the lit tle lapses of Schreiber which lost the Bruins the game. They hit him when THE BASEBALL MIRROR. Grandstand to TeU How the Game Is the counters were ready to run up and he got the last pair ready by issuing two walks. Besides pitching a great game of baseball, Danny Durbin procured the bingle which paved the way to the breaking of the tie of the first two in nings. This young fellow Dail Is making a hit with Manager Rickert. He has not had a whole sack full of the hits but on the road and in Monday's game he clouted when the hit meant runs. Jack Hendricks says he lost two games to St. Joseph on their merits. That isn't what the St. Joe papers said he would say. They forecasted a Hol land esque storm. In the carnival of nations now rep resented in baseball, don't overlook Oabera, the new Boston short, pur chased from the New England league. He is a Guanche, a descendant of an cient Berber or Kabyle Arabs, who in vaded the Canary islands 3,000 years ago. before the Romans came, and gradually fell into the estate of abor igines themselves. He is 25 years old and looks 4 5. He is a wonderful short and a good batter. Add him to the Reds' Portuguese-Cuban-Indian-Irish- German- Swede- Scotch- Dutch French combination and you have a veritable carnival of breeds and mix tures. Denver Times: If one were picking the best umpire in the league to rule the game, it is a cinch that outside of Haskell, the dean of them all, Mc Dowell should be the selection. This late acquisition to the umpire staff is there with the real thing and watch if he isn't jerked by some bigger league next year. Eddie Manning looks like a lu :ky pickup for Rickert. The little fel ow was beating it back from the coast with his own agency when Rickert got next. He's a good waiter at the plate, handles himself well, can run the sacks and has a whole can of ginger. Rickert hooked onto another catcher while up north. The lad is Rex Smith of Tripp, S. D., who is said to be a big live youngster with a man's pegging arm. He wants to report at once ind perhaps Rickert will let him. Something unusual happened at the ball lot and that was the pilfering of a half dozen bases with Chapman be hind the plate. The big league recruit overshot second once and the ruimer took another bag. Secretary Dossman reports the Des Moines attendance at the Sunday game around 1,500 and week day games from 400 to 500. That's about the sam To peka enjoys and shows that the Hope fuls have regained the confidence of the fans. Topeka drew better than any other club in the Iowa capital, however, according to the secretary. Futhermore, Mr. Dossman, who has seen them all several times and watches the gate pretty closely, say3 that he would place only one tow-i in the league ahead of Topeka for attend ance if the Kaws were up in the race. His only exception is Denver. St. Joseph News-Press: In the sec ond inning, while Pueblo was at bat, it was discovered that the club house was on fire. The game was called off tem porarily while the Drummers went to rescue their clothes. The fire did hot amount to anything, however, and the game was quickly resumed. Denver News: Casey Hagerman, the crack Denver pitcher, sold to the Bos ton Red Sox for $5,000 by President James C. McGill, has been suspended indefinitely for failure to report to Bos ton, and, in addition, is facing a fine of $100 for playing against ineligible players. Some weeks ago President McGill, feeling that the Denver Grizzlies had a good enough lead in the Western League race, considering the Btrong staff of pitchers, to warrant him, noti fied President John I. Taylor of Bos ton that he could take Hagerman at any time. On his return from the east, how ever, Hagerman refused to report un less given a bonus. This McGill re fused and Casey carried out his threat. Later on receiving a good offer from Laramie, he consented to twirl for them in their series against the Chey enne Indians. According to authorita tive reports the catcher of Bidwell's organization is ireligible to play under the national agreement.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1911. RA1LR0AD NEWS. Four Years' Course in Railway Work on Sunset Ro&d. Student Goes Through Every Depa artment of the Line. A SALARY IS GIVEN As High as SSO a Jlonth a Steady Job. -Then Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. College Station, Tex., Aug. 29. A four years' course in railroad operation, iwith a defined curriculum. Just as is outlined by a well conducted university or college, for those who are enrolled H.B students, is maintained by the Sun-Set-Central lines in Texas, the system of railroads operated by the Harrinian interests In this state, Vhi!e preference in making appoint ments to a scholarship in this .-ailroai university is given to college or tech nical school graduates in the employ of the companies maintaining the system, yet it has long been realized that a joun man out of college Is just be ginning to learn; that his diploma means that he has applied himself dur ing the time he has been at college, yei there is a great deal of practical knowl edge for him to obtain before he is m a position to know how and wnat to do. Any young man between the ages of 1 and 30 years is eligible to appoint ment to a studentship. Other things feeing equal, preference will be given lo college or technical graduates in the employ of the company, first; to men with common school education, in the employ of the company, second, and to college or technical school graduate? not in the employ of the company, third. The fact, however, that a young man is appointed to a studentship does not carry any obligation on the part of the company to appoint him to an of ficial position on the completion of his course, but a student who has grad uated in this railroad university will be given preference in the filling of a vacancy, provided he is temperamentally fitted to meet the peculiar conditions of the position. Terms of Four Yeais Course. The four years' course is divided into what a college would call "terms," but which the Railroad t'niversity desig nates as "periods." There are eight periods, and it is interesting to note the class of work that is to be done. The student must serve six months in the first period and during that time his salary is $60 per month.

For two months the student will be in actual charge f a section gang, assume all responsibil ity ordinarily devolving on a section foreman and keep all records in con nection therewith. There will be a special course of reading outlined and emphasis is placed on tie renewals nd in requiring diligent study of method-? to be employed in emergencies, such as washouts, wrecks, slides, etc. He Is on a Salary. During the eight months of the third period the student receives a salary of S70 per month and is assigned to the office of the master mechanic. Here he first takes up the care and preparation of passenger cars and freisrht. inspec tion of cars from a safety and eco nomical stand point, etc. For five months during the fourth period he is a student bfakeman and conductor at a salary of JTO per month and during this time he must study carefully train signals, time tables, handling of way bills and every feature with which the brakeman and conduc tor must come in contact. Block Signal Work. Durirg the fifth period, which con sists of two months, and during wh'ch time the salary is $75 per month, the class work is in the signal engineer's office, where every feature of the block signal is taught him.

With one it manifests itself In the form of obstinate constipa USE DR, CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN weakens it and destroys appetite and energy. Piles, pimples, eruptions, itch, worms, etc., follow in the train until many a mother feels that her child is indeed very ill. But these are all troubles that can be easily cured The child needs a few doses of a remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the grand laxative and tonic. Parents can make no possible mistake by giving it Syrup Pepsin, as the chances are always in favor of the child needing a laxative.

Railroad gross earnings continue to be maintained in about the same vol- ume as a year ago, tne total ior an I roads reporting to date for the first week in August aggregating $7,751, 643, an increase of 0.9 per cent as compared with the earnings of the same roads for the corresponding pe riod last year. The most satisfactory exhibit is made by the roads in the south, almost all the leading systems in that section reporting more or less gain, among them being Chesapeake Ohio, Seaboard Air Line, Central of Georgia. Louisville Nashville, Mo bile Ohio and Southern. In the west and southwest the losses exceed the gains, the smaller earnings reported by International Great Northern, St. Louis Southwestern, Colorado Southern and Missouri Pacific being only partly offset by the Increased re turns of Denver Rio Grande, Min neapolis St. Louis, Missouri, Kansas Texas and Texas Pacific. Where losses occur, however, they are not as a rule especially pronounced, and in practically every instance show marked expansion as compared with two years ago. In other sections of the country similar irregularity pre vails, some roads reporting small losses, while others In adjacent terri tory show moderate gains. In the fol lowing table are given the earnings of all United States roads reporting to date for the first week in August and the gain aa compared with the earn ings of the same roads for the cor responding period a year ago; also for practically the same roads In two pre ceding months, together with the per centages of gain or loss as compared with last year; 1911.

St. Louis to Pacific Through All-Steel Train a Possibility. Ottawa, Kan., Aug. 29. There is a rumor that a new through train from St. Louis to the coast and return will be established witnm a montn. xnis new train will be a hummer, carrying ten or twelve all-steel coaches with full equipments for the ease and com fort of tourists crossing the country. Since the first report of the train, there have heen other rumors every few weeks regarding the train. Re cently the Missouri Pacific placed an order with a coach manufacturing company for a large supply of all steel coaches, many of which will be used over the western lines. This or der will not be filled until spring. "From all reports, it seems that a new train will probably be put on over this division and will run from St, Louis to the coast. It will probably be one of the all-steel trains, but I do not expect that it will be established until after the first of the year," was Local Agent John Scott's opinion when he was talking today. For several months extensive im provements have been made along the Missouri Pacific lines. The line run ning through Ottawa has been rebal lasted from Kansas City to Hoising ton and all old and defective ties have been removed and replaced by new ones. Workmen are now Improving the lines running west from Hoisfngton. The most important of the work is be ing done near Ransom, about 70 miles west of Hoisington. SANTA EE WORK AT ATCHISON. Extension of Yards and Enlargement of Freight Facilities. Atchison, Kan., Aug. 29. In the ex tension of its yards and the enlarge ment of its freight house the Santa Fe is now doing the first big work of this kind that has been done in Atchison, for twenty years. When the Santa Fe does things it does them right. Creo- soted ties and platform supports are being used, and the work on the ex tension to the freight house is of a heavy and substantial character. What the Santa Fe is doing it is up to the other roads to do. The Burlington is offering to expend $30,000 if damages to abutting property on account of its proposed switch are waived, and when the Missouri Pacific finally gets around to the Atchison yards with its plan of betterments a great deal of money will be expended. Railroads have put iff necessary yard improve ments here just as long as possible, because they were more urgent else where, but we are to be taken care of at last. No doubt the buildings of the hardware and drug buildings has awakened the railroads to the neces sity of looking into the future. These houses will add to Atchison's perma nency as a jobbing and manufacturing center, and the railroads are quick to realize it. tion, with another the very reverse diarrhea.

Following a plan for retrenchment railroads of the coun try in the last year have laid off Si,&70 men, effecting a net annual saving in "JftmL X?!"!? jLrl000' 7 XT' "S" "rf K"""'.'i,.f- This method of economy in operation has been adopted by 60 per cent of ah the roads and is rapidly spreading to the remaining lines. The decrease in expense of maintenance is said to be the result of the action of the interstate commerce commission which refused to allow the roads to put into effect a general increase of freight rates. The. largest reductions in the forces are found among the trackmen, shopmen and miscellaneous employees The report containing these figures may, it is said, have an important bearing on the widespread unrest ex isti'ng in the ranks of the shopmen on the Harnman lines. That the dispute with the shopmen on the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Illinois Central and other lines may ex tend to other railway systems wa-3 in dicated today when shopmen employed by the Chicago Northwestern road are reported to have given notice that with the expiration of the present wage agreement next month an increase rf pay would be demanded Officials of the Chicago Northwest ern road declined to discuss tin sub ject today After a day of secret conferences the executive board of Illinois Central ted erated workmen representing nin; trades have decided to leave the quea tion of calling a strike to the interna tional president of the different unions. This action is taken by some to mean a step in the direction of a peaceful set tlement of the dispute A letter has been forwarded to Vice President W. L. Park and Genera! Manager Folev of the Illinois Central railroad asking that a conference be arranged and a number of meetings were held by the labor men while awaiting a reply to this communica tion. It may take several days before the labor men conclude their negotia tions with the railroad officials. WOItKING OX MAIN LINE. Missouri Pacific Hiring Men to Widen Dangerous "Cuts." Salina, Kan., Aug. 29. Those one hundred men the Missouri Pacific wants will remove the "aangerous spots from tne Missouri x-acniu rail road in this vicinity. The section foreman already has employed nearly half the number and is expecting many more today. The Missouri Pacific has a number of cuts in this section which are often dangerous. Some of these are on the Salina loop between Salina and Gyp sum City. These cuts will be widened so that there will be no danger of washing banks of dirt down on the tracks when there is a flooding rain or of filling up with snow drifts. One of the worst of these places is between Gypsum and Carlton. It will be recalled that during one heavy snow storm last year this one cut blockaded traffic for three days, wrecking half a dozen trains which tried to plow through it. This is one of the spots to be widened and the source cf danger removed. WILL HOLD A PRIMARY. The Second District Committee "Takes It Back." Kansas City. Aug.' 29.

Jeanette Schos- zer, 20 years old, daughter of a wealthy lea.her merchant who lives in expen sive apartments on Fifth avenue, is under arrest today charged with burglary. The police claim that the girl gained access to a neighbor's apart ment by jumping across an airshaft four stories above the ground and stole jewelry valued at more than a hundred Upton Sinclair. dollars. The complaint against Miss Schoszer was drawn by Miss Katherine Silver, a young woman about the same age, who lives in the apartment adjoining the Schobzers in the next building. She asset ts that at 11 o'clock at night, after she had gone to bed she heard a noise in the dining room. She at once thought that the noise was made by a burglar and called her broth er who found that a number of articles of jewelry had been taken from a table near the window. He saw a slim girl leap back across the air shaft from the window ledge. WILL FILL UP THE DAM. Appropriation for liaising the Maine Wreck About Exhausted. Washington. Aug. 29. As much of the wrecked battleship Maine as the available funds will permit will be re moved or prepared for removal from Havana harbor and then the mam motn cotter dam surrounding the ruins will be refilled with water to await an additional appropriation by congress to finish the raising opera tions. Congress failed to act on the presi dent s request tor an additional ?250 uuo and the war department has mapped out its plans for the expendi ture of money on hand, which prob aoiy win be exhausted by the time congress convenes in December. Be cause of the lack of funds, even fun eral services over the recovered re mains ot the ciead and the erection in Arlington .National cemetery of the mast of the ill-fated vessel as a monu ment to them must be postponed. The remains and the mast will be sent to tne cemetery to be stored there until congress acts. The terribly wrecked forward part of the vessel, or about two-thirds of it, will be cut down to the levels al ready reached by the pumpage, then taken out and dumped into deep wa ter outside Havana harbor. A small cofferdam will be built inside the main coffer dam to a depth of about forty feet around the forward part In order to extricate the rest of it latr. One-third of the after portion of the vessel, it is believed, can be floated. It will be pumped out and bulkheaded, but not moved pending the appropri ation of more money. Major George L. Irwin of the quar termaster's department has been or dered to Havana to supervise the ship ment to the LTnited States of the re mains recovered from the Maine. He relieves Captain James D.

A house packed upstairs and down, nearly every seat taken, with the exception of the rear box seats, greeted it and applaud ed continuously. The union which had called out the show's scene shifters be cause of the employment of nonunion men at the theater did not interfere with the production. The ehor.u men and the Crawford men did the work and although the changes of scenery were new to both, the transformations were made with scarcely any lost; of time. For instance, the difficult change of scene at the end of the first act in which the stage is changed from a J'alm Beach Florida to the forest mythical Island of Lunitania was made in about two minutes or only a minutj longer than the usual time required. Henry Woodruff, who took the part of "Jim Southerland. the Princeof To night. was given an ovation at his entrance, and also had to do the i n core act several times. Playing vith Mr. Woodruff was Vera Stanley. She is a clever actress and has an excp tionally good voice. It is wonde fully clear enunciation. While the part of the old gardener, assumed by Lew Iawson. has comparatively few lines, it was we'd done and Mr. Lawsou i ad probably as realistic old man makeup as has been seen on a Topeka stase for sometime.

An Interview With Woodruff. "I am in comic opera because I can't sing. "I'm getting old. "In two more years I'll quit. These are almost unheard of state ments to come from an actor with a reputation like that of Henry Wood iuI'l', who appeared the second time in "The Prince of Tonight,'' at the Grand last night. The average actor will seldom admit that he can not do anvthing.- The average actor still less seldom will admit that he is get ting old. And not often that they ever intend to quit. But the matinee idol said it. He was just preparing to make up. robed in his dressing gown. (Now no interview with a theatrical star would lie com plete, without referring to the make up and dressing gown.) "No. you don't need to know how to act to be a success on the stage," continued the -M. I. between direction to his Japanese wardrobe man, who is as cute as any Jap on Japanese ehinaware. "What are the require ments? Personality, individuality and magnetism. These three and the greatest of these is magnetism. "And you don't need to sing to be in comic opera. The reason that I'm in. comic opera is because I can't sing. Xo, really, I'm no musician at all. Don't know one note from another. As to my acting well. I had two of the greatest actors and actresses in the world to teach me: Edwin Booth and Adelaide Xeilson. They taught me the way in which 1 should go. If there was anything characteristic about Booth it was his great benevo lence. Vou may know that he was a brother of Wilkes Booth, who assass- inated Lincoln at Washington. Ed win Booth never discussed the mat ter, but he would never accept a Washington engagement after that. "That was a long time ago. Well, I've been on the stage 36 years. First appearance? In the juvenile in 'Pin afore.'' In that same play was Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske. Julie Marlowe and Arthur Dunn, afterwards great actors and actresses. "Xo, none in our family except me was ever on the stage. My people had never seen a show and I had to run away to get to go on the stage. My grandmother was so shocked be eause I became an actor that she wouldn't speak to me for 20 years. "But people are getting over that, even the very religious ones. And in that connection, or rather letting religion out of the question, I believe in the closing of theaters on Sunday. We need at least one day of rest and Sunday suits me. "Any way I'm getting too old and am going to quit. I will take two more years and then well. I w ill just travel around. Went around the world in ISSti and had this serpent tatooed on my left arm in Japan. We all get foolish in Japan and Mr. Woodruff winked at his wardrobe man who then reminded him it was time to get ready for the show. The Novelty Bill. Perhans one of the hardest working women in the world, as one of the X'adje, who performs at the Novelty this week, the opening week of this season. Crowded houses were the or der at ail three performances Monday. Xadje is called "The Perfect Woman." Her form it is as divine as you could wish for and she works and her act is entertaining.

Recent heavy rains in Xebraska and northern Kansas have caused the Blue river to cut a new channel and change its course at this point, thus causing this city to lose one of its beautiful views. The river formerly flowed by this city, but its new course takes it three miles northeast of here. The new channel was started during the flood of V.V7, but the river retained its old channel until the recent heavy rains, when the new Chan el was cut deeper and became the per manent course of the stream.

Half of Boxes Are Sold (hit Many Dance Tickets. Pretty Announcements by Reid Hare Been Issued. An unknown popular Topeka man no one knows who it is will lead the grand march at the Semi-Centennial ball to be given at the Auditorium the night of the opening of the state fair and the fifty-year-old celebration. An unknown woman, either the wife. sweetheart or guest of this man will walk by his side and no one knows who "that will be. It possibly is a mistake to say that no one knows who will do this stunt. The committee in charge knows but as far as the public is concerned this committee is bound with iron chains and a huge padlock. borne have guessed that Mayor Bil- lard will be the leader. Others insist that it is Charlie Holliday. Still others lay claims to Major Anderson. But it is simply a guess. The announcement cf the plans for the Semi-Centennial ball ha.s swept over the state like wildfire. The voting women who will represent eleven cities, all are positive that they will be here to sit m the big box set aside tor them at the ball. And 500 Topeka young blcods are as positive that they will have the honor ot at least one nance -with one ot ti'.e,. visUing 60 Kansas beauties. J,. The news comes from the Kansas cities that will be represented Norton, Salina. Abilene. Lawrence. Junction City. Seneca. Iola. Chanute. Ga;neU. Osawatomie and Arkansas City that most of the prize beauties will have "escorts." This falls upon the Topefcc young men with stx thud, but they hae not given up hope. "Just for one good glance, for one dance and for a few whispered worls with a swaying queen at their side" that is all they ask of the visiting girls. After that, if they wish, they may spend the time with the escorts that are so faithful to them in their home towns. If they have other desires than to remain with the escorts a snap of the finger and a regiment of the best looking fellows in the capital city will jump over, play dead and act at their command. The tickets for the big ball are goin? fine. Ben Bear and "Pete" Heil, the ticket rustlers, are enthusiastic ov?r the sale. Fully one-half of the boxes are sold out. they say. and they plead that all who wish boxes call upon them at once.

NFTW mSTRIBVTTXG AGENCY. National Biscuit Company 0M?iir Establishment in This City. Quicker, more direct service in sup plying to consumers in this territory the famous goods of the Xational Bis cuit Company, is assured by the es tablishment by the company of a new distributing agency at X'o. 2n6 Kan sas ave., in charge of Mr. Hugo Kiene. The decision of the National Biscuit company to make this city a distrib uting point has been brought about by the rapid increase in the demand for its products in this territory. The policy of the company to carry its products from the oven to the con sumer with the least possible delay has long been recognized. It is this, together "with its absolute standard of baking and the purity, wholesomeness and attractiveness of its products that haj; resulted in the general use of the National Biscuit company's goods in millions of American homes. The new agency here is in all re spects up to the standard of the Xa tional Biscuit company. It has the latest methods for the protection and handling of goods. It will carry not only the package goods of the company, which include t'needa Biscuit, and Nabisco Sugar Wafers, but also the varieties sold from the well-known glass-front cans. The standard of absolute freshness, which has always been insisted upon by, the company makes necessary many special devices, in the way of shipping and handling facilities. The result is that such 'Establishments as that now opened here represent the very latest and beet in dispensing food products to the public. They mean that the time from the oven to the consumer is reduced to a mini mum, and that theneopie of this vic cinity will receive these famous food products In all their freshness and wholesomeness. fk.'jr' s 1 4 CITY WILL SHINE. Commissioners Mate Every Ef fort to Clean Up Topeka. For Big State Fair and Semi centennial Xext Week. TIN CAN DAY SOON, Alleys Must Be as Slick as Busi ness Streets. All Weeds Cut or City Will Charge to Taxes. Topeka city officials are planning to make Topeka the cleanest city in the world for fair week, the semi-centennial and the celebration of the Knights Karnival. The streets, the sidewalks, and even the alleys w ill be swept and washed until the best housewife in town will envy the work of the Com missioners in charge. E. B. Stotts, city commissioner of parks and public buildings, who has charge of the sanitation of the city, will see that every lot and allev in the residence district is rid of weeds. The street commissioner, Furman Baker, will inaugurate a "tin can day" soon when every person in town will be asked to throw their tin cans and trash in the alleys and the city will collect them free of charge. W. G. Tandy, city commissioner of streets and public improvements, will have two new compressed air street nushers on the business streets and the pavements will be kept as shiny as glass. An effort will be made to hurry up the clean up work on the Great White Way, that the streets may be relieved of the loose bricks, cement blocks and other materials that follow in the wake of the contractors on the Great White Way. Notices to property owners calling for the immediate cutting of all weeds on vacant lots, in parkings and alleys have been sent from the city hall. If the property owners fail to comply with these orders the city will cut the weeds and charge it up to the property taxes. "Tin can day" is a feature that will be repeated this year. Every year the city tries out this plan to give the peo ple a chance to rid their yards of trash, tin cans and old materials. Announcement will be given when the tin cans shall be thrown in piles in the alleys and city wagons will gather the trash and dump it in the outskirts. Mayor Billard is radically in favor of a general cleanup. "I don't believe I will put it in the form of a proclamation," said the mayor this afternoon, "but I would like to request the .reoplo of the city to get ready for the big State Fair and trie ser.n-centenniai. everyone car. help, in a proposition of this kind. Neat lawns and parkings will do wonders towards improving th appearance of what is consideied now the prettiest inland city in America. "The city will do its part in clanin up and the citizens may be a great help in keeping their property in tip top condition." OUT OF THE RACE.

The Karnival Knights say that un less the contractors clean up Kansas avenue in the wake of the Great Whit? Wav workers, thev will conic out "0 strong to ill the work themselves. A number of firms in Topeka would purchase motor trucks if the railroads would pave their entrances around the freight platforms. The Santa Fe is the only road with a paved truck way. Mayor Billard is wearing a K i r-n i al I Knight button on his sli-eve. He has chosen Miss Blanche Bates, his S"-cr- tarv as the carnival queen and ovry official in the city hall will vote for her. Students who expect to enter the high school from outlying towns anil country districts are requested by- Principal A. J. Stout to bring in thetr credits mornings in the next two weeks. The name of Dr. Eva Harding has been suggested for the Karnival Queen. The people of the city would do it only they are afraid the esteemed lady doctor would get out an injunc tion against the vote. The cable that will delay the Gi"-it White Way work is still on the e:st"rn railroads. The Santa Fc is waiting for it in Chicago and as soon as it is t lin ed over to this road there it w'il bt shipped by fast freight to Topeka.

TTio statement in Monday's issue of the State Journal that the Commercial club desires to have a list of all the neonle who are willing to entertain visitors during fair week at the regu lar prices has brought results. This mnminc the l hone at tne ouieo oi trie club was kept busy by the boarding house keepers and others. The ball game between the general managers and the general passenger agents of the Santa Fe at league park last Saturday resulted in a score of 35 to 1 in five innings. The general man agers under Bill Collin.i won the game. Bill Curtis who managed tile general passengfr agents has left for an ex tended visit in California. The Karnival Knights passed thi.- if s olution asking the city commissioners to hurry work on the white way: "Whereas, The finishing of the Great White Way on Kansas avenue will be of great advertising value to to city of Topeka during the festivities of .he month of September. Therefore, lie it Resolved. That we ask the city com missioners to hurry the construe on of the white way that the same may be completed by September 10." 3 and just think for a moment what a saving it means to you (men and young men) you can pick any $28, $25 or $22.50 spring or summer suit from the famous tailor shops of Hart, Schaffner&Marx at $15.

"We went on very prosperously, considering, as people say of a young Iadys' drawing, or a Frenchman's English, or a woman's tragedy, or of the poor little dwarf who works with out fingers, or the ingenious sailor who writes with his toes, or generally of any performance which is accomplish ed by means seemingly inadequate to its production." Miss Mitford. I wonder sometimes if that word "considering" doesn't do more harm than any word in the English lan guage. I have read somewhere that it takes a clever man to succeed, but twice as clever a man to explain why he didn't succeed. I don't think so. For there is always some explana tory circumstance which he can work up and hitching "considering'' to it. persuade himself, at least, that he really has done wonders, "consider ing." "Considering" is the excuse that half success always gives for not being complete success. ''Considering" is the screen of justi fication that tne soul w hich knows that it is not receiving what it deserves of itself puts up between itself and the truth. "Considering" is the coward's word and the sluggard's word. When you find yourself thinking that you have done anything pretty well "consider ing." look out. You are in a frame of mind that is fatal to progress. Ask yourself how well you have done, not "considering." not making allowances, and you will have a far better, if bit terer tonic for effort. If we could only drop the word con sidering and all its equivalents from our language, I think we would be bet ter off. But hold what am I saying? I for get. On the contrary that would be a calamity indeed, for I remember now there are other uses for the word Sweet and commendable uses. For I think" the really great man is ne who is "as tolerant of other peo ple's pins and weaknesses as he is in tolerant of his own." "Considering thai, she had no moth er, I think she is a very good girl." "Considering that he had no educa tion I think he has succeeded wonder fully." These are the proper uses of "con sidering." The more times we use it like that and the fewer time." we use it with the first person, the better for our soul's good.

Aug. 29 Many resi dents of this city are criticising the actions of more than a hundred of the guests at the fancy dress ball given by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard M. Thomas Saturday night. Around 3 o'clock the next morning the revelers formed a V procession led by Moicure Robertson, made -p as an Indian chief, and did a war dance, accompanied by playing band of 20 pieces, over the field. Mr. Thomas acted as a toreador and Mrs. Thomas, dressed as "Du Barry." Following them were Spanish dancing girl?, toreadors. Salomes, gypsies, sail ors, ladies of the harem, queens that have lived in history, Indians, Chinese mandarins, characters in fiction most ly from the French bandit queens, pir ates, flower girls and figures taken from the drama. About a dozen houses were visited where dancers, who had gone home, were asleep. They were serenaded, routed out of bed and compelled to like the innovation. When this was over, everybody declared that it was the greatest time in the last ten years of Newport's history. One of the features of the evening was the new dance to the strains of "Alexander's Ragtime Band," which was danced with a Spanish movement. It ris led by Mr3. Charles De L. Oelriclis, ii a costume which showed red silk stockings and shoes. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Mrs. Reggie Vanderbilt participated in it. The Grizzly Bear dance was consid ered a scream. It was done over and over and Mrs. Longworth viewed it for the first time. Miss Constance Warren heard a chauffeur ask another for a cigarette and she presented her handsome ci garette case and emptied its contents on the palm of the admiring chauffeur. This is regarded as another of Miss Wsrren's original stunts. Residents of Newport have been dis posed to allow the society folk to do as thev pieaseu, out. mcic ia a. imnuu thnt believes such actions have a tend ency to desecrate the Sabbath. Early Sunday morning parties are quite the rage now. SEES "THE PERFECT WOMAN.' Green Reporter Interviews Xatlje at the Novelty. A ereen reporter, a mere man, and a bashful, unmarried man at that, was assigned to interview Nadje, "ine fer feet Woman." who is doing toe danc ing, acrobatic and physical culture stunts at the Novelty this week. This is what he said about it: "Reallv, I was just Beared to death. T.ike Secretary Coburn in this re spect: I am afraid of women. (Coburn said that on a witness stand recently, v.-.-.i mav remember.) Yes. I am afraid of a woman. And I was told to talk to a woman who was an actress; no, no i mean that she appeared in public on the stage. I am so confused yet that T ran't talk straight. It is hard i PTinush for me to talk to an ordinary woman, as you may nave guesseu, uuu j a vaudeville woman, oh, my! I actual- i v Tr.mniea ui ctie uiuukul, to try any assign uci. i"" word 'assignment' sound important?) So when the boss told me to 'get a storv from Nadie I said: just as though I had been brought up nnri a w thp show. When 1 saw Nadje s act, un an us cievei ness. I stood in awe of her more than ever. However, I asked a slim man wearing glasses, who was said to be Mr. Crawford, the theatrical man of -uuu too' in ataee ntrarlce and ask for her and some one would take me to her dressing room. That was more em- barrassing than ever, as I supposed I would talk to her in the wings and not alone in the dressing room, ..However T followed dirt man named xewcomb too: directions and a man named NewconiD tooK me aown stairs and knocked at the door of one of the dressing rooms and said: 'Miss Nadje, here's a newspaper man.' "Then he left me as the door open ed. I have read a great many stories en seeing stage girls in rooms for the first time them read like this: enobie was seated on her trunk smoking a cigarette as Per cival entered.' or 'Fluffy Fluffles play fully kicked her visitor under the chin when he came in the door.' "But there was nothing like this. Nadje stood in the doorway and wore a becoming dressing gown. She said: 'Just come in and be seated.' Her voice was quite musical with a trace of English accent. 'You see. I'm used to newspaper men,' she continued, dropping as gracefully on the trunk as a snowflake would float down upon a lake. (Beauti ful, poetic thought, isn't it?) How ever, I wasn't used to vaudeville peo ple and she knew it, for she smiled sweetly and said: 'I suppose the ladies of Topeka would like to know what I eat. yes? Well, for breakfast a glass of half milk and half cream and dry toast; a light lunch at noon and my heaviest meal at 5 p. rn. "I made note of this and she went on: 'Now. I do not eat any meat, ex cept occasionally fish.' I felt relieved because I was sure ,,ne was poin to urge the use of some kind of disagreeable breakfast food, or going without any breakfast as an aid to physical culture. But no. She said that proper exercise was the thing. That she slept with windows wide open; took her own exercises as soon as she rose for about fifteen minutes and then a cold shower. I was so glad she told me those things as I had quite forgotten what I intended to ask her. 'You see what exercise will do. Just feel the muscles on my arm.' I hesitated, but she exclaimed. 'Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.' The muscles were iKe whipcord. 'Anyone could fllxve the same muscles by taking the same exercises I do. she went on. "She also told me something about her life. How she was born in Lon don, that her father was John Dile vant. a famous clown, how she had m;tde an engagement to pose for Whistler. the famous painter, but when she went to keep the engagement she met a coffin with his body in it being carried out of the door of his sttidio. He had made the engagement with her a month ahead and had taken sick and died in the meantime. Then she told of her being with the Pells-Floto circus: that she was once in Topeka with the show. "And to think that T was actually talking to a circus acrobat. I didn't

Iola Official Rcsixmsible for Slaugliter Gets Many Letters. Iola. Kan.. Aue. 29. Jurien T. Ti. T. Smeltzer of the municipal court is not the only official in Iola to draw the fire of criticism through an official act. Hard ly had the excitement over Judge Smelt zer's sentence of Mrs. Ella Reese to the rock pile died away when the wrath of the public was called down upon the head of Samuel Crumley, custodian of the county building. Many flocks of blackbirds, on their migratory flight, have stayed the last few nights in the trees in the courthouse park. The branches of the trees were black with them. They became so satisfied that Crumley invited the sportsmen of the city to turn out with their guns and slaughter them. The invitation was responded to Heartily and hundreds of the birds were killed. Now Crumley is receiving letters condemning him for his action. Mrs. Howe s letter follows: Dear Mr. Crumley: I read this morning that you are killing the blackbirds in your courthouse yard. I hope some good friend of the birds will rise up and save your town from such a disgrace. The black bird and the crow are two of our best insectivorous birds. For proof of this. read bulletin No. 12, U. S. department of agriculture. It is an offense against the scientific economy of your state to destroy them. If you do not need them 'shoo" them over into Missouri. AVe have to spray our fruit trees and we need them. Crows and blackbirds hold conventions with recognized leaders. Doubtless your town was honored as the meeting place for delegates chosen from all over the country. One hundred thousand black birds will catch more sandflies than men scientists on motor cycles. Chase away the murderer with the gun and spare the birds. The Creator gave us the birds. We must protect them. The robin, thrush blackbird and crow! Thank Him for the birds.
