Convention of Kansas Municipal ities Opened Today. Searly One Hundred Officials From Over the State. WORK FOR PRESIDENT. JIayor Stewart of Parsons and Mayor Billard Mentioned. Kansas City and Parsons Out Bubbling- over with the spirit of their cities and boosting for its inter ests as well as the interests of the state, nearly 100 officials of Kansas towns and cities are meeting in To peka today in what is called the third annual convention of the League of Kansas Municipalities. Charles L. Davidson, Preside Mayors, commissioners, councilmen, city clerks and city attorneys are to gether for the purpose of improving municipal conditions. Koine of them admit that they are here not only to talk over civic matters but to get ac quainted with the officers of other c ities and when there is a lull to tell the reasons why their city is the great est place in the world to live and do business. Tne meeting this morning convened at 10:30. It was scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock but the officers of the association forgot to arrange for a minister to give the invocation. Shame on the Kansas city officials! Finally, Dr. F. 1. Lovelanii of Topeka stepped out of the elevator and the officers were given their needed blessing. Mayor Billard made the address of welcome, telling the Kansans that the gates of the city had been taken off from their hinges that the municipal officers might have free access. He extended an invitation to the visitors to inspect the Topeka municipal works and told them the plan of the enter tainment. The response was given by George W. Winans. commissioner of finance and revenue of Hutchinson. On the program Mayor Truesdale of Lyons was to make this acceptance of the city's hospitality, but the leader in the Lyons council was not able to attend the meeting. Commissioner Winans, taken by surprise, responded to Mayor Billard in the regulation "Hutchinson style." He thanked the city for its Invitations, spoke of what the conven tion would mean to the cities of the state and paid tribute to everything in general. Commissioner Winans is an educator and the well selected words and sentences flowed from his mouth like the trickling of a mountain stream. Following these preliminaries of every well regulated convention. C. L. Davidson, ex-mayor of Wichita and president of the League of Kansas Mu nicipalities, gave his president's ad dress. Mr. Davidson gave eight type written pages of sound advice to the city officials. This speech in part is renrod 1 iced in nnnrVmr cilnmn The annual report of the secretary treasurer was given by Prof. Richard K. Price of the University of Kansas. Professor Price is a student of mu nicipalities and he was instrumental in organizing the league that is meeting in Topeka today. Ever since the first cal' nearly two years ago Professor True has spent time and monev work ing out the plans of the association and interesting Kansas cities in the movement. Professor Price's report is given In another column. Mho Will Be Next President? A campaign for the president of the League of Kansas Municipalities has been launched. It is earlv in the meet ing to talk of officers and the location of the next meeting, but when it was known that Parsons was pushing their mayor. O. H. Stewart, for president and that they were attempting to make that city the next convention place a real campaign was on. Immediatelv after the Parsons announcement for the next convention, Kansas City got into the race. Then the movement to make Mayor Billard president of the convention was launched. Until late this afternoon no other candidates had been mentioned. From the outlook it is between Mayor Stewart of Parsons and Mavor Billard of Topeka for president. For the next convention place it lies be tween Parsons and Kansas City This Is the dope this afternoon. Before night and before end of the convention tomorrow evening several other can" didates may enter the field Mayor Billard is vice president of a W AV-A 7 the League of Kansas Municipalities at 'hThepreog-am for the meetings of the league include a motor ride over the city tomorrow afternoon, at which .time the suests will be shown what lopeKa consfdUeersSthe finest waterworks system municipally owned in nsa citv crematory the only one in Kan rwmb. inspected by the delegates.

Was Not Offered Money and Didn't Take Any. Chicago, Oct. 11. Former State Sen ator George M. McCormick of Alton, was the first witness called today. Mr. McCormick described his part in the 1909 deadlock at Springfield. He said that he changed his vote from Hopkins to Lorimer on the 95th ballot. Previous to changing his vote, he said, that he had told former Governor Richard Yates, Mr. Lorimer and sev eral other men that he would give h's vote to the first Republican that showed sufficient strength to break the deadlock. McCormick denied flatly the story told yesterday by John M. Jef fers, who said McCormick had been of fered $2,500 for his (McCormick's) vote. "I was offered nothing for my vot and was given nothing for it. I voted for Mr. Lorimer simply and solely to break the deadlock. I know of no cor ruption in that election," said McCor mick. State Representative Henry Terriil testified before the United States sen ate committee today that former Rep resentative John Griffin, a Democrat, told him (Terriil) that he could get $1,000 for Ten-ill's vote for Lorimer. Terriil testified John Griffin, then a member of the house from a Chicago district, met him in Springfield the day before Lorimer's election in 1909. "Griffin asked me to vote for Lori mer and told me there would be J1.000 in it for me." testified Terriil. Terriil further testified that at 9 o'clock the night befo-e Lorimer's election Lori mer sent for him. "David Shanahan came for me," said Terriil, "and took me to Mr. Lori mer. "Mr. Lorimer was in the speaker's room at the state house. The house was in session at this time." VII'" WOMEN DEFEATED Suffragists Lose California by a u Narrow Margin. This Is Indicated by the Late Returns. HEAVY VOTE WAS CAST San Francisco Majority Against Amendment Large. Recall and Referendum Over whelmingly Adopted. San Francisco, Oct. 11. Returns from 1,399 precincts, including San Francisco and Los Angeles complete, give: For woman's suffrage, 73,383; against, 82,296. Majority against, 9,913. Tlie figures represent a little more than one-half the precincts of tlie state. Figures at hand, however, in elude most of the more thickly popu lated districts. San rrancisco, Oct. 11. Apparently the fate of woman suffrage in Cali fornia depends upon the vote of San Francisco. With 1,257 out of 2.772 pre cincts in the state outside of San Fran cisco heard from woman suffrage has a clear majority of 5.195 votes, the vote being 50.567 for and 45,872 against. Outside of the counties around San Francisco bay the state apparently voted strongly in favor of granting the ballot to women, and later returns from the state at large may swell the majority now standing for woman suffrage. In San Francisco, however, the vote was heavily against equal suf frage. The registrar office up to 9 a. m. had not been able to tabulate the returns from the 23 constitutional amendments voted on but late returns last night indicated that the major! Vj against woman suffrage in San Fran cisco would not exceed five thousand and might drop below that figure. Emphatic on Recall. Caliornia voters expressed emphatic approval of the so-called progressive legislation fathered by the present state administration. Opposition to the recall of all elective officers, including the judiciary, was buried under an avalanche of favorable votes, and the amendment providing for the initiative and referendum rolled up a majority but little less than that for the recall proposition.. The amendments provid ing for the extension of the powers of the state railroad commission over ad public utilities and increasing its ra'.o making powers also were approved, as were the amendment providing for a divided session of the legislature, al lowing counties to have free holders" charters, fixing four years as the mini mum period for the use of public school text books, providing for the establishment of inferior courts, and making the clerk of the supreme court an appointive office. Aside from the suffrage amendment, only two provisions, both of lesser po litical importance, are in doubt. These are No. 19 relating to the issuance of railroad passes to public officials and No. 22, exempting certain property from taxation. Heavy Vote on Suffrage. On the ballots thus far counted, the suffrage amendment polled the great est number of votes, the count in 1,367 precincts out of 3,143 in the stat. showing 60.968 voter: for. and 63,589 against; the recall amendment polled 90.367 for and 28,728 against; the in itiative and referendum polled 85.746 for and 27,747 against; the amendment making the state railroad commission appointive and increasing its member ship from three to five received 67.671 for and 39.625 against. In these four amendments centered the greatest public interest, a large proportion of voters failing to mark their preference on any other of the questions on the ballot. One of the paradoxical features shown by the returns was that in San Francisco, where the suffragists have carried on an ardent and well managed campaign, a majority of 11,000 against was shown in the count of three fourths of the precincts. returns up to midnight indicated a majority of 20.000 against suffrage but from that hour returns from interior cities and from the southern part of th-v state steadily cut down the "antl" majority. MOST LAWYERS CROOKS That Is Opinion of Chaloner Who Is One Himself. Charlottesville. Va,, Oct. 11. Law yers and New York's lunacy laws were dealt with by John Armstrong Chaloner in his deposition before United States Commissioner Booth, in the suit for possession of his estate. Chaloner said he had registered an oath in 1902 to devote every dollar of his income and every year of his life "to overthrowing the tyrannical and barbarous lunacy laws of New York." Under these laws, he said, persons are tried in their absence and the way is opened for turning pure girls into white slaves and imprisoning wives whose husbands desire to be rid of them. "Most lawyers are crooks." said Chaloner. "I have been fighting them for 15 years, hence my pro nounced feeling about my own pro fession." SLEPT III POWDER HOUSE Harry Sutton Iidn"t Know It and Lighted Match May Recover. Kansas City. Oct. 11. Harry Sutton, 36 years old, a native of Manchester, England, in search of a place to sleep last night, entered a frame building containing about three tons of loose black powder at the Excelsior powder mill at Holmes park, just outside of Kansas City. Ignorant of his danger, he struck a match and an instant later the powder exploded and the building was transformed into a mass of fames. Sutton was rescued by an errployee of the powder company as he rushed from the building, his clothing on fire. He was taken to the general hospital and died soon afterward. WILSON IS THERE. Secretary of Agriculture Defies Public Sentiment. Arrives in Chicago to Attend Brewers Congress. BREWERY IX ACTIOS Miniature One tn Operation at Meeting. Elaborate Preparations Made to Entertain Delegates. Chicago, Oct. 11. Secretary James Wilson came to Chicago today to take part in the brewers' exposition and congress which opens tomorrow in the Coliseum. The brewers worked to such good purpose that the show, the biggest of Its kind ever held, was ready for the inspectidn of the public today. Ten million dollars' worth of brewing ma chinery was in place and half a million dollars' worth of ornamentation had been set up to show the machinery off. There are Norse pillars and posts and "trimmings" in the. Coliseum proper and a blerstube in the annex, showing true Norse architecture. The beer, lemonades, and sandwiches to be sold will be served only at tables in the bierstube. No whiskv, gin, wines cordials or mixed drinks will be found! According to the program the bierstube is to "show what the management of the exposition holds should be the ideal public house and garden of the future.'' Exhibits in the exposition come from the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Austria. Belgium and Den mark. Perhaps the most interesting of all the exhibits is a $15,000 miniature brew ery in which every process of brewing will be shown, colored water serving as the liquid. Rodgers Reaches Missouri City Before Noon. Nearly Half Way to Destination, 1,483 Miles. Kansas City, Oct. 11. C. P. Rodgers, sea to sea aviator, landed in Swope park here at 11:31 a. m., after flying 81 miles from Marshall, Mo., today. Reaching here lie had covered 1,483 miles since leaving Xeiv York and was within a few hours' flight from the half-way point in his cross continent journey. Blue Springs, Mo., Oct. 11. Aviator Rodgers landed a half mile south of here at 9:50 a. m. It is believed that he came to the ground to renew his supply of gasoline. Blue Springs is twenty miles east of Kansas City. Independence, Mo., Oct. 11. Flving at a height of 500 feet and going at a terrific rate, Aviator Rodgers passed here at 11:06 a. m. Four minutes later he crossed the Big Blue river, five miles west of here. Independence is ten miles east of Kansas City. Marshall. Mo.. Oct. 11. Fair skies and excellent flying weather today con fronted C. P. Rogers, the sea-to-sea aviator who planned to fly into Kan sas City 85 miles distant before noon. Despite the fact that last night he rested after one of the hardest days of flying since he left New York Rodg ers was up early this morning tinker ing with his machine. It was his plan to spend the night in Kansas City, 1,483 miles from his starting place and to morrow fly to Parsons, Kan., 137 miles west of Kansas City. The aviator then will be within a few hours' flight of the half way point in his crosscountiy journey. He will follow the southern route to the Pacific by way of Par sons, Kan., thu avoiding the moun tains. He reached this place last night. Marshall, Mo., Oct. 11. Aviator Rodg ers left the ground before a favorable wind at 8:24 a. m. It was his plan to circle several times over Higginsvilla. Mo., but he intended to make no stop before reaching Kansas City. HiggiiiSville, Mo., Oct. 11. Aviator Rogers passed over this city flying high at 9:10 a. m. Two thousand per sons gathered in the main business streets to see the cross-continent flight. He circled the city three times before continuing on his way to Kansas City. Rodgers Doesn't Get Prize. New York, Oct. 11. Galbraith Rodgers, the aviator, who broke the international cross-country record for aeroplanes flight yesterday, at the same time lost his last chance to win the $50,000 prize offered a year ago by William R. Hearst to the first avia tor crossing the continent between New York and San Francisco in thirty days. The conditions under which the prize was offered provided that it must be completed within a year. POPULAR SONG FREE. Special Announcement to School Teachers, Pupils, Mothers and Fathers.

FLIER IS IN K. C. FACE THE COURT. McNamara Brothers Placed on Trial for Murder. Accused of Causing Death of Nineteen Men. TRY ONE AT A TIME. James B. Designated as First to Be Tried. Priseners Brought Into Court Boom Handcuffed. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 11. James B. McNamara, of Indianapolis, was placed on trial for murder here today before Judge Bordwell in the superior court. Judge Bordwell's first action was as anticipated the denying the motion by counsel ior the defense for a change of judge, declaring that he was ni prejudiced in the case. At 10 o'clock both John J. Mc Namara and his brother, James B., entered the court room with Clarence Darrow, their chief counsel. Both men were smiling and shook hands wit a many attorneys at the bar. The brothers were handcuffed when they left the jail and during their walk across the street, through the court house and into the hall of records. Score3 of photographers took snap shots but few other persons gathered to see the men. They were accom panied by Jailer George Gallagher and an assistant and were followed by seven deputy sheriffs. Iemands Separate Trials. Clarence S. Darrow, chief coun3el for the defendants, announced that he wished to sever the case and imme diately District Attorney John Fred ericks chose James B. McNamara for tria 1. The prisoner is 29 years old and un married. He is charged with causing the death of 19 of the 21 men who wre killed in the explosion and fire which wrecked the Los Angeles Times plant. Not only did Fredericks elect to try- James rather than his brother John J., secretary of the Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, but he decided to go to trial on the indictment charging the prisoner with the death of Charles J. Hagerty, a ma chinist, whose body was found close to the spot at which the explosion is al leged to have occurred. The site or the old Times Dunaing lies almost within the shadow of the unfinished hall of records in which the trial is being held and the whistles of ensriners working on the foundation or the new Times building sounded from time to time through the open win dows of the court room. Counsel for the defense gathered about the prisoner, headed by Attorney Clarence S. Darrow or Chicago. As sociated with him sat Joseph Scott, Le Compete Davis and Job Harriman, all of Los Angeles. Mrs. Darrow sat r.ear her husband. District Attorney Fredericks han dled the prosecution aided by the as sistants regularly employed in his own office. Jurors to Re Locked Xp. A delav. seemingly interminable to eager spectators, occurred at the opening of court, while a procession of veniremen explained to Judge Bord well why they should not be asked to serve. This was the end of a preliminary hearing in which the judge rapidly weeded out over half the first venire of 125 men before the trial formally opened. The McNamaras were brought into court together ana remainea until James McNamara was selected 'or trial, when John J. was returned to his cell in the county jail. After a few minutes of parley. At torney Le Compte Davis for the de fense faced the waiting veniremen and made the first speech of the trial. "The cou.t suggests that I inform you that when you enter te jury box you will remain there or be locked up ntil the end or tne trial, ne saia. If vou want to see your wives or at tend to your business, you had better do so before this afternoon." Recess was taken at 11:10 o clock until 2 p. m. Missouri Nurses in Session. St. Louis. Oct. 11. The Missouri State Nurses' association began a three days' convention here today. Re ports and papers on subjects of interest to nurses will be read. Officers will be elected Friday. 1 i IIIHIMIIIIHIIIIIir' PTXDS SOX AFTER S5 YEARS. Mrs. Freeman Has Not Seen Him Since He Was 4 Years Old. Stoneham, Mass., Oct. 11. After a country-wide search lasting 35 years, Mrs. Nellie Freeman, 80 years old, has at last succeeded in her quest for her son, Joseph Corey, now a prosperous citizen of Boise, Idaho. Early today she left to join him there. Through correspondence with friends in the west, Mrs. Freeman learned that "John E. Rogers," principal of the Longfellow school in Boise, had been making a search for his mother, who was taken away from him when he was- 4 years old. Correspondence followed, proving that Rogers was undoubtedly the miss ing son of Mrs. Freeman, born when she was Mrs. Joseph E. Corey, and lived in Jahoka, Mo. In 1876 sha was taken ill and sent to a hospital for a long convalescence. When she recovered her eon had dis appeared. END OFJHE WAR. Reported That Armistice Has Been Agreed Upon. Italy Continues to Send Troops to Tripoli. Berlin, Oct. 11. It was declared from an authoritative source today that an armistice had been virtually agreed on by Turkey and Italy but had not been decided "officially." It was brought about chiefly through the efforts of Germany, aided by other powers. Italy continues to send troops to Tripoli, pending negotiations. Paris, Oct. 11. Communication with Tripoli having been re-established de tails of the situation there are pouring in. From today's advices it would ap pear that Munhir Pasha, the comman der of the Turkish garrison until the last moment expected reinforcements. When compelled to retreat before the Italian guns, his force went so hurried ly that of necessity many supplies were left behind. TAFT IS COMMENDED President's Peace Plans Approved by Canadian Conference. Toronto, Oct, 11. "The act of President Tuft in bringing forward the peace proposal between England and America is one of the most courageous and magnificent attempts ever made by any statesman in the history of world." Shortly after this statement had been made to the ecumenical Methodist conference by Alderman T. S. Nape, of Liverpool, Kngland, the delegates unanimously adopted a reso lution endorsing the proposed arbitra tion. Speaking on the subject. Dr. J. Scott Lidgett of London. Eng., editor of the "Methodist Times," said: "The time is coming when every thing which relates to the welfare of mankind will be considered by trib unals of peace and adjustment. Yet human nature must be transformed before we can have universal peace." Discussion during the afternoon de veloped that a number of delegates doubted the wisdom of the steps now being taken by the Canadian Metho dist church to form a union with Presbyterians and Congregationalists. A resolution urging international peace was adopted.

The revo lutionaries have won notable victory, gaining possession of tha city of ffu Chang after a battle with the loyal troops that began yesterday and con tinued well into tho night. The foreign residents had not been molested. The revolutionary commit tee issued a proclamation exhorting Its followers not to harm the citizens of other countries. The fact that tho wishes of the committee have bren re spected thus far while reassuring oth er nations, is in itself a sinister sign for the government at Peking, as It indicates that the rebellious movement is now more thoroughly organized. Karlier outbreaks have assumed tha character of rioting, In which the nmbs were soon out of the control of tlm intelligent leadership, thus making their defeat by the better directed gov ernment troops comparatively ev. The fear of the oltiriaU now is that the disaffection in the troops will spread to this city and every effort if being made to ward off this danger. Five gunboats am now In the river In readiness to protect Hankow should the necessity arise. Tlie foreign con suls have also telegraphed the'r gov ernment asking that warships be sent to the scene. American and Japnnfsn cruisers are expected here tonight, while several gunboats are hastening hither. As another measure of precaution the merchant vessels In the river arn keeping steam up and women and children will be permitted to go aboard thein tongiht. Protecting the Foreigner. Volunteers have surrounded the for eign quarter and will remain on duty during the night until the safety of ail foreigners is secured. It appears that the revolutionaries, defeated in Sze Chuen province where they for some time besieged tho capi tal Cheng Tu. transferred their chief activities to Hu Peh province with tho intention of making It the base for renewed operations in Szo Chuen. According to the ofRela.s an uprising in Wu Chang was planned for lnt Monday nieht. The plot wan discov ered early that evening and thirty-two arrests were made. Desiring to ter rorize the revolutionaries, four of tho prisoners were beheaded In th street before the viceroy's yamen yes terday. Government Troops Mutiny. The energetic action of the authori ties did not appear to have had th desired effect. Immediately nfter thn execution a portion of the government artillery forces within the city mu tinied and the uprising was precipi tated. The disafTectlon In the artillery spread to other forces and the revolu tionaries took advantages of the pulia tion. They started fires in many parti of the city and attacked such of tho troops as refused to join them. The force." that remained loyal wprn overcome. The Taotai appealed to tho foreign consuls to Instruct their war ships to guard tho harbor limits and bead off any reinforcements that might bo approaching the city from the river to strengthen the rebels. Tho viceroy sent a message to Peking urg ently requesting the Immediate dis patch of warships from Tien Tsln. Finally, seeing further resistance was useless, the viceroy fled the city and found refuge on a prlvnte yncht that was lying in the river. Kin head quarters and those of the provincial treasurer were burned. The military commander was assassinated. Among the foreigners known to have been In Wu Chang yesterday nrn twenty-five American mlssionnrlew. Communication with the city in al most completely broken and no word as to the fate of the American had been received at an early hour today. With the revolutionists In control nf a great and important capital It In hard to estimate how fast or far tho movement will spread. The omclald are making every effort to keep tlm disaffection out of Hankow. Five for eign gunboats are stationed at tho Yang Tz Kiang between the two rte and foreign volunteers nr patrolling the foreign quarter of Hankow. Wu Chang is the capital of the cen tral province of Wu Peh and a town of abotit 600.000 Inhabitants. It Is situated just across the Yang-Tze riv er from Hankow, and In a sense the two may be regarded as one city nf 1,500,000 souls. Hankow Is the great trading center for all central China, but Wu Chang takes precedence over it In political Importance. As the capi tal of the province and the seat of government of the viceroy.

The Topeka high school boys roughed the collegian around again last night but were not so successful as on former occasions The weather seemed to have a bad et feet on their pepper. This is Carnival week in Wichita and a large crowd is expected to see the Washburn-Fairmount game which will be played on the old Western league Dark. The abandonment of the college grounds there is good assurance of a crowd. The team will leave tomorrow night over the Hock Island about midnight. A special Pullman will be set out for them on the tracks and coach .Driver will put his squad to bed at 9 o'clock and keep them there until 8 o'clock the next morning when they will be in the Windy City. Washburn Is Outweighed. The Washburn crowd will be out weighed and outexperienced Friday and will be ud against some of the fastest forward pass plays in the state, Driver is coaching them particularly on defense for these passes and at the same time trying to give them a good vanetv of the same sort ot onense There is a lack of good end material to handle the passes, however, and few of them may be tried. It is probable the Blue will rely more upon end and line plays for at least an other week as the players have that class of football in better form. Mc Jntyre. Smiley and Burkhart behind the line give the Washburn team a fast attack on straight football whilj some good trick formations give them open field chances. Driver is seeking in vain for a lonj distance punter and goal kicker. Em mons has shown considerable drop kicking ability in practice and almost had a chance m Ottawa. In the last few minutes. Driver sent him at an advantageous position but a penalty was called on the down which threw the team too far away and Emmons was not called upon to make his try. iWhether he can kick goals in the rush of play is a question. RICKERT LAST TO IJCAVE. Dale Ci-par Has Gathered Five Young sters for Next Year. Joe Rickert, Kaw manager during the past season, is the last of the tribe to leave Topeka and may not go until the end of the week. Rickert is a close friend of Dale Gear, the new manager for next season, and says he is glad Gear has the job. While Joe may have had aspirations to manage the club again, he has known for months that there would be a. change and that Gear was the man, and he didn't whimper. The team got to going bad, was cut tip to save salaries and naturally could not win very often but Rickert stayed with his task and fought it out. win ning a trio of home games as late as October. He wanted a chance to build up a club and go after the rag next season but circumstances prevented and another boss nailed the place. Gear has been beating the bushes for the past month trying to scare out some pood looking youngsters and has bagged five. There most likely will be a pretty general cleanout of present players owned by the club. It is certain that no more sob stories will get by the owners as was the ease last season. No more may good able bodied, thick head ed players weep over a "broken" arm and get away to sell themselves to an other club. The stock company has passed by a silent vote to assume the upper hand and control their club in stead of leaving it to a motley crowd of players. And the day when the player names his salary is another thin? which has passed. In fact there are no more "grapes" in this pasture. Cardinals and Browns Today. St. Louis, Oct. 11.

New York, Oct. 11. It was news fandom today that Chrsty Mathewson was away from New York for a day or two last week on a secret scouting trip to Shlbe Park, the home of the Phila delphia team, which he hopes to defeat for the world's title. If "Matty" hoped to keep his little expedition a secret, he was foiled by two members of the New York Americans, who recognized him as he sat in sweater and golf cap in a grandstand seat directly behind the plate on Thursday and Friday. Every Philadelphian that came to bat was narrowly inspected by the Giants' pitcher. It was evident that he was making mental notes as to the men's weak points. Much of Mathewson's success in the ocal series last fall between the New York Nationals and Americans was at tributed to his observations on prior isits to the American league park. He seemed to have the key to every man on the team, judging from the way he puzzled them with his fade-away and perfectly controlled speed. After the series was over, he said one day: if you know how to tell the differ ence between the balls a fellow can hit and those he can't hit, you've got his measure." As to his inspection of the Philadel phia team, his deductions will remain ecret until he pitches against them In the big series. Then it will be made clear whether he has discovered any weak points or not. If he did, it is a sure thing he will make the most of them. THROW OUT ST. MARY'S SPY. K.

NOT AN EASY TASK Transfer of Power Is a Matter of Several Years. Other Items of General Interest of Traffic World. It. was a railroad authority no less than Chauncey Depew who predicted that electricity would soon succeed steam as a motor power, and that in side of ten. years a steam locomotive would be seen only in a museum, says the Railway Journal. That was over six years ago, and there are more steam locomotives in the country to day than there were in 1904, and they are more powerful, too. It is admitted also that there are more electric loco motives in railway service now than in 1604, but at the present rate which electric power is supplanting steam it will require at least a couple of gen erations before the steam locomotive will go out of use. With some there is a gTowing sen timent in favor of electricity as a power in railway service, but the tran sition from steam to electricity is not an easy one to make, even where sen timent prefers the latter. There are so many radical changes to be consid ered that the proposition of general change seems to be remote in practical application. A writer in Railroad Men (Lauris ton Bullard) takes the view that the time for the change is near at hand and that this proposed change "in the immediate future is as vast and vital a railroad problem as any which has taxed the abilities of experts in the whole history of the development of the transportation system of the United States. He quotes a railway presi dent as saying "Electricity is bound to come." Quoting from Mr. Bullard: Indeed, electrification is coming and it is coming fast. But the fact that various railways are employing various systems of electrification brings a danger and with the danger a prob lem a danger which the men in con trol of the roads must very soon con sider, and a problem which they must hand over to the very best engineers for solution. "There are in the world today about 1,300 miles of railroads upon which electricity is used for heavy service. Far the greater part of this mileage is in the United States. In addition, there are 435 miles of electric elevated and subway lines in the cities of Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York. But the systems of electrification which are used upon these lines are not uniform. 'For example, the New York, New Haven Hartford has twenty-one miles of its main lines, making 100 miles of single track, electrified by what is called the single-phase sys tem. But the New York Central has thirty-three miles of four-tracked line, or 132 miles of single track, elec trified by what is known as the con tinuous or direct current system. Now, these two roads use the same de pot in New York City. Practically all the New England railway service into New York CHy is over the four tracks of the New Haven line to a point twelve miles out from the Grand Cen tral station, where the trains pass at full speed to the tracks of the New York Central, over which they com plete their run to the terminal. For the twenty-one miles of the run on the New Haven tracks the trains are operated from overhead trolley wires by alternating current taken aboard the locomotive at 11,000 volts. For the twelve miles on th New York Central tracks they are operated from the third rail by direct current at 650 volts. When the New Haven decided to electrify that twenty-one miles of ita own lines it was face to face with the restriction imposed by those twelve miles of New York Central lines. Yet it decided in favor of the alternating current, in spite of the twelve miles over which it would have only the di rect current available. "The Erie railway has thirty-four miles of single-phase electrification. The Pennsylvania has seventy-five miles of the direct current system. The West Shore has 106 miles of continu ous current electrification; the Long sland railroad has 125 miles; the West Jersey Seashore, 150 miles, and the Baltimore Ohio, seven miles. On the other hand, the Grand Trunk has welve miles of the other system; the Colorado Southern, forty-six miles, and the Baltimore Annapolis Shortline, thirty miles. There is a greater diver sity in Europe." HAVE FAITH IX CUTOFF. Oklahoma Believes Northwest Line in State Will Be BaUt. Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 11.

Efforts to Close Shops in Colorado Seems Successful. Chicago, Oct. 11. Efforts directed by the railway ticket protective bu reau for suppression of ticket scalping in Denver and the state of Colorado, according to a statement just issued by the bureau in Chicago, are hearing success. The bureau eince its incep tion, it is stated, continuously and sys tematically has battled with the evil in this district, and in no section of the country has such determined, persist ent and tenacious opposition been met with. Although the state and city were ridden three times of scalpers, it is stated, they regularly, after brief periods, have reopened their shops and renewed their operations. The bureau recently secured the adoption of an anti-scalping law, which tentatively held the ticket scalp ing business throughout the state in abeyance. The scalpers, however, un der a referendum provision, undertook a petition to defeat the law. An in vestigation instituted by the bureau succeeded in disclosing that the peti tion included the names or several thousand persons either fictitious or not entitled to vote, and the petition was rejected. "At this writing," states tne nureau, "conditions are such in both city and state that we may reasonably assume, with enforcement of the legal meas ures now available, that a prolonged, obstinate and, at times, hopeless eon test will be decisively and finally con summated." NEW YORK CENTRAL CUTOFF. Shorter Line to Cleveland and to Balti more Next Sunday. Chicago, Oct. 11. An important cut off on the New York Central lines will be put in operation next Sunday, af fording the system a considerable im provement in its position with relation to the great iron and steel centers of Pennsylvania. On October 15 the line of the Lake Erie Pittsburg will De ODen for through traffic, thus furnish- ing the short line between Chicago and Mahoning and shenango valley trlcts and Pittsburg. Heretofore the Lake Shore has had to route business for that territory east to Ashtabula, Ohio, and thence southward. The new route takes a short cut from Cleveland to Youngs town, and thus will furnish a very nearly straight line from the west and put the system in a position to handle freight between Chicago and the Pitts burg and Youngstown districts on the most favorable schedules. This new route will assume even greater importance to the New York Central system in a month or two, I when the Connellsville-Cumberland line of the Western Maryland is com pleted. With the opening of this line the New York Central lines will have the short line from Chicago to Balti more, giving another outlet for busi ness requiring movement via the port of Baltimore. KOAIS FIGHT FOREST FIRES. Burlington, Moffat and Midland Lines Removing Timber. Denver, Oct. 11. Experiments that may remove some of the danger of fires in national forests are being car ried on by three railroads passing through forests in this district. The railroads are the Burlington, the Ten- ver. Northwestern Pacific and the Colorado Midland. The experiment work consists of removing all timber I from parts of the rights of way I through forests. I This work is the result of charges of i the forestry officials that many forest I fires are caused by sparks from loco 1 motives. The service has a suit pend ing in the South Dakota courts against the Burlington railroad for fire dam ages in the Black Hills forests in 1909. The Moffat road has cleared its right of way for five miles in the Arapahoe forest on the west side of the con tinental divide. All timber within 100 feet of the tracks has been cut down and either removed or burned off. The 1 Burlington has cleared a similaJ- stretch for ten miles in the Black hills. The operations of the Midland are on a smaller scale. RAILWAY NOTES.

Scarcely any of the splen did audience knew him except by pub licity, making his greeting all the more significant as to progressiveness. Judge Smart presided. He introduced Senator Bristow. Bristow for Guyer. "I am here," said Senator Bristow, "to help Mr. Guyer, because I believe he is a good man. I know he will stand for the right things. He is a man of unusual ability. If he is elected he will reflect the sentiment of this district by his votes in congress. He will be right on the tariff. This is important to you of this district, because the tariff wi!l be an acute subject in the next session of congress. You are doubtless desir ous to know what Mr. Guyer's attitude will be.

A tem porary injunction has been granted in the Lyon county district court re straining the Emporia board of edu cation from interfering with the "rights and principles" of any stu dents of Emporia high school or dis criminating against them, by reason of any connection with fraternities or sororities. The injunction followed the action of the school board at Monday's meet ing. After having given the students two weeks in which to sign a pledge that they would not connect them selves with fraternities or sororities, which are in defiance of the state law, the board took drastic action. The members of the secret organizations assert the societies are not connected with the high school, and that, there fore, the board has no jurisdiction.- There are three organizations in Emporia against which the school board is directing its attention. They are the Owls and the Lambda Alpha Lambda sororities and the Delta Omi- cron Omicron Fraternity. All the members of the Ow'ls had signed the pledge by noon. One member of each of the other societies had signed. The resolutions of the board which caused the injunction to be asked are: "Students of Emporia high school who are members of any secret or ganization and who have failed to sign the card aforesaid shall, alter rues- day, Xctober 10, 1911, be designated as unclassified students, having tne privilege of attending clases so long as their presence is not prejudicial to the work of the class and the school, but without grades." I ALLEN SAVES ASTQRS Car Men at Des Moines Didn't Quit After All. Des Moines, Oct. 11. The threat ened strike of street car employees did not materialize as had been planned. Instead, it was indefinitely postponed on order of the executive committee of the car men's union to give more time in which to locate G. S. Gilbert son. former state treasurer, who yes terday was appointed third member of the arbitration board. A diligent search for Mr. Gilbertson, who was in Min nesota City on private business, was kept up all day yesterday and all last night, but to no avail, just wnen an other order would be issued to strike or whether it would be issued at all, could not be ascertained this morning. FLOOD LOSS NOT SO HEAVY. Colonel and Bride in Danger of Being Drowned. Boston, Oct. 11. Fred Allen, a well known manufacturer of Lynn, Mass., is back from Bermuda with a story of how he rescued Col. John Jacob Astor and his bride, formerly Miss Madeline Force, when the pair were in peril in a disabled motor boat. Allen was making a cruise around the island. Some miles off the coast he sighted a power -boat in distress. He made toward the disabled craft and gave it a tow. The launch proved to be one of the boats from the Noma, owned by Colonel Astor and on which he is taking his honeymoon trip. The little launch is laboring badly in a heavy sea and might have been swamped but for the timely arrival of Allen. I'MiXWVNs;; pain, X I HX?CS?S not k 7VNX MRS. TRESSIE NELSON. headache.

Fewer Deaths and Less Property Loss Is Reported. Denver, Oct. 11. Communication with the principal towns in the flood swept districts of southwestern Colo rado and northwestern New Mexico was re-established today. It became apparent that the damage will not be as heavy as previously estimated. None of the principal tdwns reports serious loss and advices reaching them from outlying points minimize the de struction in the ranch country. The Rio Grande Southern railway has suf fered heavy damage, rough estimates placing the loss at approximately $1,000,000. Rumors of heavy loss of life were apparently set at rest today. The re port of the drowning of twenty Nav ajo Indians at Shiprock agency in New Mexico was officially denied today. WANT KOBBLXS IN MEXICO. Boston Man Charged With Embezzle ment to Get Him Back. Boston, Oct. 11. The case of the Mexi can government against George C. Robbins, a Boston man who was a prominent insurrecto. has been thrown out of the courts here. United States Commissioner Hayes declining to honor the extradition papers charging Robbins with embezzling $1,000, the pro perty of a Mrs. Howe of Mexico City. The commissioner after examining the documentary evidence submitted by the Mexican authorities, declared that there was nothing in any of the papers to show that Robbins had committed the crime alleged. Robbins declared that the charges were preferred against him in conse quence of his activity against certain government officials.

Battling Nelson, former lightweight champion, will appear in a New York ring to night. He is matched to box ten rounds with Willie Bereher, an east side professional, who has two vic tories over Knockout Brown to his credit. The bout will be decided in the big arena of the Madison Athletic club and it is expected that nearly 5,000 persons will want to see Nelson in action. Nelson lost the title to Wolgast a year ago last February. He is not trying to regain it and says he only wants to show that he is not wholly a back number. He has a handsome nest egg invested in real estate, but is anxious to increase it a bit more with his fistic skill. JOHN D. IS A WONDER. Oil King Gains In Weight Through Outdoor Exercises. Tarrytown, N. Y., Oct. 11. State ments about John D. Rockefeller's improved health are borne out by the announcement that he has gained twelve pounds during the past four months. Mr. Rockefeller is heavier now than he has ever been, weighing almost exactly 190 pounds, with indi cations that he may pass the 200 pound mark. He attributes all his good health to outdoor exercise. A friend here outlines his daily program as fol lows: "After breakfast Mr. Rockefeller surveys his estate, plays golf two or three hours, has luncheon and a little nap, followed by an hour's dictation with his secretary. Then he is out again taking exercise. Physically, he is a wonder for his age." GIRL'S RIBBON CAUSES DEATH. Autoist Fails to See Street When Big Bow Interferes. Chicago, Oct. 11. A girl's hair rib bon was responsible for the death of Mrs. William Kirkton of Evanston, who was run down Monday in Evanston by an electric runabout, driven by Miss Gertrude Morley. This evidence was brought out at the inquest in which Miss Morley tes tified that she did not see Mrs. Kirk ton at all until after she was run over, and that her vision was cut off by -a large hair ribbon worn by a girl friend, who sat directly in front of her. The jury found that Mrs. Kirkton's death was accidental, and Miss Morley, who has been held under $2,000 bonds earlier in the day, to await the action of the jury, was relieved of responsi ble for the accident. No Baseball for Fall River. Fall River. Mass., Oct. 11. Fall River will not be represented in the New England baseball league next sea son, the stockholders having voted to call for bids on the franchise. The team has been a losing venture for four years.

The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from In digestion, Dyspepsia out-of-order stom ach is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking some Diapepsin. If your stomach is lacking in digest ive power, why not help the stomach to do its work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach. People with weak stomachs should take a little Diapepsin occasionally, and there will be no more Indigestion, no feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, no heartburn, Sour risinga.

Postmaster General Hitchcock will ask for an ap propriation to establish the parcels post. The mere suggestion of a parcels post is sufficient to start trouble. It is said that some genius in the east has invented an electrical spank er. -This will call to mind the kick ing machine accredited to our depart ed fellow townsman. Captain Curtis. An exchange of messages for fifteen minutes between wireless operators at San Francisco and in Japan, a distance of six thousand miles, marks a great stride in the progress of communica tion. Now for a wireless message around the globe. President Jim Hill of the Great Northern says: "There is nothing the matter with the country save political ghost dancing. There is plenty of money in the banks, and it only re quirea complete resumption of confi dence before we shall have a period of prosperity never before excelled." Well, bring on your confidence. The municipal election in San Francisco in November will be con fined, it seems, to a very few minor officials owing to the election out right at the primaries, by majority votes, of a mayor, city attorney, coun ty clerk, assessor, tax collector, re corder, administrator, treasurer and two police judges. Now if they would make these minor offices appointive the expense of an extra election of ten might be saved. Canadian immigration reports show that during the month of August 17,- 019 Americans sought homes across the border, as compared with 10,490 for the same month last year. In de- featine reciprocity the Canadians may have killed the goose that lays the golden egg. The likelihood of the fulfillment of the reciprocity pact may be considered as one of the reasons for the large emigration of Americans two months ago. With the prospect of un hampered trade opportunities across the border Americans may have been tempted to get in "before the rush." Out of 2,484 cases which have come before Chicago's domestic court dur ing the first six months of its exist ence, 1,250 have been patched up and disposed of by the advice of the pre siding judge, rather than by the ap plication of law. Similar jurisdiction of a court of common sense would be beneficial in relieving dockets other than those of the divorce sessions. A considerable proportion of the litiga tion which clogs the courts of the country is unnecessary, and consists of petty disputes which could be set tied by a little impartial advice or suggestion. While we in the United States are talking and planning and holding good road conventions, our neighbors to the north of us are working. Fully 500 miles of road on Vancouver Island are now open to the public and can be used by automobiles. The provincial gov ernment, at a cost of nearly $200,000. has built a trunk road 75 miles long and 14 feet wide from Victoria to At berni; also a scenic 60-mile drive along the Saanich Peninsula. These, with the numerous intersecting roads leading to the different points on the island, have been patronized largely during the past summer by automobile parties from the United States. The peculiarity of roads and climate there is that traveling can be enjoyed all the year round. Collier's pays tribute to the memory of a distinguished Kansan now dead, as follows: "Madison of Kansas was the sort of man you would name in your will to be administrator of your estate, and take with you the comfort of the faith that your wife and children and their money would be well taken care of. If all the bankers and business men of the country could have known him, there would be less of the feeling that the insurgents are all right as rabble rousers, but that it would be un safe to put the country In their hands. In the lower house of congress, Madi son supplied weight and calm judg ment to balance the more ardent tem peraments of most of the other Insur gents; he was the best possible ex ample of that impressive and impor tant figure in contemporary American life, the country judge." PANAMA CANAL PROJECTS. In view of the expected opening of the Panama canal to traffic at the be ginning of 1915, shipping companies, both in England and in the United States, are already planning an exten sion of business. On the other side nu merous lines have been established to maintain services on both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with ports in the republic of Panama, and the Idea ap pears to be to have others In operation for the purpose of building up a set tled trade, so that every advantage may be taken of the waterway when completed. So far as European steamship enter prise is concerned, an agent of the Cunard company was recently on a visit to Vancouver seeking new trade openings on the Pacific coast, while the Hamburg-American Line is under stood to be in treaty for accommoda tion at San Francisco. The Royal Mail Steam Packet company, which already has warehouses at Colon, on the north ern side of the Isthmus, is having steamers built to cope with the expect ed increase in traffic to Chile and Peru. At present the company has vessels running down both side of the South American coast, and makes great use of the Panama and Transandean rail ways. The Harrison and Leyland Lines also contemplate developments in this direction. KANSAS COAL OUTPUT. The total coal production of Kansas in 1810, as compiled bv Edward. W. Parker of the United States geotogica survey, in co-operation with the state geological survey, amounted to 4,921, 451 tons, valued at 17,914,709. Kansas lost heavily in coal produc tion in 1910 by reason of the coal strike. In 1909, when industrial peace reigned throughout the coal mining states, Kansas produced 6,986,478 tons, and in the boom year 1907 the output amounted to 7,322.449 tons, the maximum for the state. In 1910, when 80 per cent of the men were on strike and the period of idleness exceeded that of activity, the production de creased to 4,921.431 tons. Compared with 1909 this shows a loss of 2,065, 027 tons, or 29.56 per cent. The value of the Kansas product decreased from S10.0S3.384 in 1909 to 57,914,709. in 1910, a loss of $2,168,765, or 21.5 per cent. The average price per ton advanced from $1.44 to $1.61. The number of men employed in the coal mines of Kansas In 1910 was 12.870, of whom 10,346 were idle dur ing the strike. The average number of days worked was 148 and the aver age number of days idle was 163. The total working time was 1.906,151 days and the total idleness was 1,578,017 days. The average production per man was 3S2 tons annually and 2.58 tons for each working day. In 1908, when 13.916 men were employed tor an average of 181 days in the produc tion of 6,245.508 tons, the average out put per man was 449 tons for the year and 2.4 8 tons for each working day. diversified farming. A new era in co-operation was in augurated yesterday when the Santa Fe's diversified farming special demon tration train pulled out of Hutchinson. The train is under the auspices of tho Kansas State Agricultural college, as sisted by the Arkansas Valley Com mercial association. The train consists of five cars, one for exhibits and four lecture cars. "More Wheat to the Acre," "More Trees," "More Alfalfa," "Better Homes" and "Better Schools" are some of the subjects to be discussed. The lectures will emphasize the importance of sev eral things, primarily, diversified farm ing and farm Improvement. The first car back of the exhibit car will be for children where lectures will be given by experts from the Agricul tural college, lectures that children will understand, lectures about soils, insects and trees. In the second car there wiil be two women speakers who will talk on various phases of home making, modern conveniences that may be had for small prices, better arrangement of the things in the house, canning of vegetables and suggestions for the im provement of the farm home for the benefit of the family. In the third car Dr. C. O. Townsend, of the Garden City sugar factory, and Professor C. A. Scott, state forester of Kansas, will lecture, one on the growing of sugar beets and the other on the planting of trees in western Kansas. In the fourth car Professor W. M. Jardine will talk of methods of grow ing farm crops either by dry land methods or by Irrigation, and Director E. H. Webster, of the Agricultural col lege, will talk on the necessity of more live stock and more dairying in west ern Kansas. The train will stop for fifty minutes, or possibly one hour, at different sta tions and the farmers are urged to go to the car where the lectures will be of most interest. There will be two lec tures given in each car at each stot, and then, there will be time given for everybody to go through the exhibit car. Every speaker will emphasize the importance of growing more than one crop, of growing several. In fact, so that in times of drouth the farmer will have something to provide an income. The tour should prove of great bene fit ultimately to all concerned, by aid in the farmers to increase the yield of their land which in turn will make more business for the railroads. "Things look bright," says Presi dent Brown, of the New York Central railroad. "It seems to me as If an era of prosperity were coming for every body." And Mr. James J. Hill has smoothed his dubious front, and now speaka cheerfully of the coming of "a period of prosperity" never before ex celled." He says there is "plenty of money in the banks" and "nothing is the matter with the country, save po litical ghost dancing." The opinion of experts like these should remove any lingering doubt that may exist re garding the future of business.

Crane, a brass manufacturer of Chicago published a book about a year ago with the avowed intention of show ing that colleges do not educate young people as they are supposed to do. The colleges apparently. weathered Mr. Crane's comment and are still doing business at the old stand. The fact that the institutions of learning which have been built up dur ing hundreds of years did not imme diately topple over and go out of busi ness because he does not like them, has brought forth another tirade from Mr. Crane. This time he lets the colleges go, and lands upon the college students and the high school students claiming that such young men are unusually im moral. As was the result of the first tirade, the second object of attack will proba bly weather Mr. Crane's comment. Youmj men's habits are not neces sarily changed suddenly whether the young men go to high school or wheth er they go to college, or whether they go to manual labor. Habits are not formed in a day and are not changed in a day. Nearly everybody. exceDt Mr. Crane knows, however, that it is the constant effort of the college and of the high school instructors to make of these ed ucational institutions an influence for good character and that there is a con stant effort put forth by the directors or tnese institutions to weed out im moral influences, and to inculcate in young men the principles of right living which are expected to last them through life. There is no question but what high schools and colleges are showing prog ress in turning out young men better equipped physically, morally and spirit ually to cope with the problems of life, than did such institutions years ago. Just why Mr. Crane has a fixed anti pathy towards educational institutions is not clear. The result of his writings proves his personal animosity, and little else. Wichita Eagle. LESSON OF THE SAND HILLS. Are there any "waste places" on earth? Or was it nature's scheme to create nothing that did not minister in one way or another to the needs of man? Ever since the first pathfinders cross ed the plains to the Rockies and be yond, the sand hills of Nebraska and the Dakotas have been shunned and derided as utterly worthless. Appar ently, they offered neither soil nor wa ter. Overland caravans oreaded them; railroads kept out of them; to this day, they are almost devoid even of wagon roads. And yet those desolate sand hills have now been tackled by the settler and are producing frOrn 30 to 50 bush els of corn per acre. There were hid den springs and there was vitality in the soil, though no one suspected it. The fact is, the Creator did a pretty ood job in making the earth, but man has been incredulous and slow m grasp ing his opportunity. We are learning, however. We take down our map, put line through the legend, "Barren Saad Hills," and write in its place: Productive Corn Region." So the the scheme of the universe unfolds be fore our unbelieving eyes.

A week or so ago many headline builders saw revolution, turmoil and chaos, ahead in every direction. AV.ir over Morocco was again "imminent;' Spain was in the throes of rebellion and anarchy; food riots and strikes were threatening the stability of the French republic; Austria was facing something worse than food riots per haps an anti-monarchical uprising: Russian terrorism was active once more and massacres were feared. I short, in Rosebery's phrase, the end of all thiags was almost in sight. Ti day we look out on a much more Dacific and pleasant world. Where is the Morocco war? Where Spanish rev olution? Where the Irish general strike? Where the Austrian revolu tion? Where the civil war over food prices in France? Where the Russian counter revolution and sanguinary c in fusion worse confounded?

STEPHENSON AND THE PRIMARIES The artless and ingenuous testimony given before the senate committee that is inquiring into the charge that Sena tor SteDhenson of Wisconsin procured his election to the United states sen ntp Ytv rorruDt means shows that :ie senator was prodigal; even careless with his money, but that his expendi tures were effective.

QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Dame Rumor is the mother of Mis fortune. Many a man puts up a bluff only to trip over it. Some people spend all their lives looking before they leap. The fellow who goes broke isn't shattering any traditions. In stealing second the ball player shouldn't be a backslider. When a sailor is arrested is he al ways arrested for a salt? The only reason for existence some people have Is to take up room. The good opinion of many a man isn't worth what it costs to get it. Charity begins at home, but it Is very apt to be out if anyone calls. It's easy enough to give advice about love affairs, if you have never been In love.

THE EVENING STORY The Newest Probationer. (By Annie Hinrichsen. The young physician looked at the girl with the htlpless exasperation in duced by long and unsuccessful argu ment. "Can you not realize the absolute slavery to which you are sentencing yourself?" he demanded. Miss Helm tilted her chin a trifle higher. "To me it will not be slavery. I have chosen my life work. I shall be very happy in it." "In a month you will be glad to give it up." "I am tired of hearing that," she flared. "Every friend I have has said the same thing that I shall give it up. I shall be a trained nurse and a successful one." "But I want you to marry me." "I prefer to spend my days with the sick and the suffering." "Don't do it, Janet, dear. Marry me and "I won't marry you, Lester," she said irritably, "and I want you to stop asking me." Dr. Melville's patients at St. Mary's received a great deal of his attention, especially the ones in the charity wards. In these wards the probation nurses worked. Hospital custom de crees that the newest probationer shall do the most menial tasks in the insti tution. Each mornii.g when Dr. Melville visited the charity wards he saw Janet Helm, the newest probationer, prac ticing the lessona the head nurse had taught her. She scoured brass and woodwork and bathtubs. She washed bottles, cleaned instruments and pol ished floors. One day he stopped be side ht.r as she knelt on the floor. Miss helm," he said with a mail cious emphasis, "how do you like nurs ing?" She shook out the oiled floor cloth she was using and smiled merrily up at him. I love it. I am perfectly happy. Go to your patients and don't disturb me. And be careful not to track dust over my clean floors. Several days later Dr. Melville found Janet sitting beside the bed of the hospital's oldest inhabitant "I have been promoted," she an nounced proudly. "I no longer scrub. I have a patient "Glory be," ejaculated the old lady. "It is sure a blessed saint they have given me for my nurse. Such tender ness and gentleness were never be lore in a woman s ringers as are in these lily hands." "Now, am I not a real nurse?" asked Janet, triumphantly. Her voice was lowered and the deaf old lady could not hear her words- "I am bringing happiness and comfort to this helpless old woman. Can there be a nobler task? What sweeter compensation can there be than the gratitude of this poor, unfortunate woman? As she spoke, the spoon with which she was feeding her patient slipped and the hot broth spilled on Mrs. O'Brien's neck. There was a yell of rage. Two skinny fists were shaken savagely at the girl. From the old woman's toothless mouth came oaths and fearful objurgations. Yes," said Dr. Melville, under the continued storm of Mrs. O'Brien's maledictions, "you will find no sweeter compensation than the gratitude of this helpless old lady." Three months after Janet had en tered the hospital sin and Dr. Mel ville were leaving the ward together one evening. "Miss Helm." said the head nurse of the ward, "Miss Sprague wishes to see yon in her ofhee. Janet's face whitened and a look of anxiety came into her eyes. Miss Sprague was the superintendent of the hospital. She held little personal com munication with her nurses. A nurse was never summoned to her office ex cept for an Important reason. She was the absolute dictator of the hospital, and her rule was a stern one. When Janet had gone, Leslie Mel ville walked up and down the long corridor. He was heartsick with anx iety for the girl who had been called to the superintendent's office. He knew well what Miss Sprague's summons had meant to many nurses as hard working and as faithful as Janet. He had seen them come from her office with white faces to leave the hospital, taking with them the stigma of ex pulsion. He knew the severity with which Miss Sprague's rigorous discip line was enforced. Breaches of hos pital etiquette, innocent breaking of rules, harmless lapses from the strict hospital standard had been charges so serious that a record of faithful ser vice had not prevailed against them. He knew that Miss Sprague held a prejudice against society girls as nurses. It was impossible that Janet, the petted, indulged. undisciplined child of a luxurious home, had been able to obey implicitly every rule of the institution. In half an hour Janet appeared. He hurried to meet her. She had been crying, and the tears still clung to tier lashes. He drew her to a window recess. "What was it?" he asked anxiously. 'Was it very serious?" "It was the most serious thing that ever happened to me." Tell me aoout it." he urged im patiently. "Janet, dear, tell me; do you leave the hospital?" Yes. 'I feared it. She is cruel and un reasonable and unjust. You do not de serve her treatment of you. It is an outrage." She is not unreasonable I have hoped you would tire of the work and leave the hospital. I wanted you to give it up and marry me. But, for your own sake. I did not want you to be expelled. Miss Sprague's cruel act will compel you to give up the pro fession, won't you marry me? I love you more than ever, Janet." You would marry a nurse who has been expelled, discarded?" I would marry you under any cir cumstances." Lester, why did you not ask me to marry you before I decided to become nurse? "Why why you knew I loved you. You did not say so. You did not ask me to marry you until I told you I expected to enter the hospital. I was too angry and hurt to accept you. 1 1 have proved that I can be a nurse. Silly, frightened boy; you thought Sprague had expelled me. Look at my head." On her hair rested the hospital cap. She had never worn one before. "My probation ended today. Miss Sprague sent for me to tell me that I had done so well as a probationer that I was entitled to the ranks of the pupil nurses with the honor of wearing the hospital cap. She was lovely; she is not a bit hard or un reasonable. She talked so beautifully to me that I cried and she kissed me and set the cap on my head." 1 "But you said you were to leave the hospital." "I am. leave to marry you. I have demonstrated my ability to en dure the hardest period of a nurse's life. I have learned how much you love me. I am ready to leave. I shall now demonstrate my ability to be a good wife." (Copyright, 1911. by As sociated Literary Press). The Sted Corporation. In the public statement made by the directors of the United States Steel corporation and signed by Mr. Morgan and Judge Gary, it is expressly denied that the competitors of the steel cor poration or the purchasers of its prod ucta have ever complained of its busi ness methods. If the conduct of th corporation toward Its competitors had been unfair and oppressive they would nave been loud in their complaints Assuredly the public would have heard something of it. If its prices have been extortionate, the buyers of its products would have complained, and the public would have heard of that. The state ment of the directors says: "The corporation was organized for business reasons, and purchased its va rious plants to promote such business and not to restrain trade or obtain a monopoly. In all its operations the company has scrupulously observed the law and recognized the just rights of its competitors and the consumers of its products. So far as its directors are aware, no complaint has ever been made against- it by either of these in terests. Competitors and purchasers having suffered no injury, there is still an other question to be answered. What injury have the people of the United States suffered at the hands of the steel corporation? If the attorney gen eral should bring e. suit to destroy the corporation, the real complainant in the case would be the people. What woulud be their ground of action un der the law? We may leave out of account th unsupported charges of professional assailants of corporations. No attorney general would put his name to a brief based upon the harangues of Mr. Bryan or of Jeff Davis of Arkansas. But what injury to the people capable of being set forth in the counts of an indictment can be charged against the steel cor poration? That is now the vital ques tion. If the attorney general has evi dence of such wrongs, if he has evi dence that the law has been violated, it will be his plain duty to begin a suit. Nobody can complain of that. But it is evident that the indictment will have to be made up of new matter. The directors deny that the existence or the methods of the corporation are in violation of law; they affirm that the operations of the company are of public benefit. The public is not at picsent advised of any facts on which these statements could be refuted. If the attorney general knows of any such facts he will, of course, not keep them j to himself. New York Times. Ventriloquists Swindle. Having been informed bv a taxirah chauffeur that the policemen at the Fast Fifty-first street station knew all about everything, including parrots, a citizen wno looked an though he knew all about distilling and brewing went tnere last night dragging bv the collar another person who looked as though ne naa seen Detter days. 1 have saved you the trouble of arresting this man," he cried, "and all you need give me is advice." Don t take another drink for a year," replied the lieutenant, prompt ly. 'My wife gave me better advice than that before I left home," said the visitor. "She said two years. Anyway, the advice I want now ia about parrots." Proceed." 'Thank you, I will. About a week ago I met a friend "Skip the intervening chapters and get to the end." "This morning I thought mv wife would appreciate it if I bought her a parrot. .She has wanted a Darrot a long time, so I went to this person's bird store Interval while the person alluded to explains he was not always a bird store proprietor, but was once an actor like Booth. and I says to him. 'Gimme a parrot; one that can talk.' And he says he has six fine parrots and that tney can all talk, but that the only thing they can say is 'Good morning, papa,' which is all he has had time to teach them, because he has only been in the bird business a little while. Then he walks along the row of parrots and makes a motion with a stick before each parrot, and each parrot says 'Good morning, papa.' and I fall for the cheapest parrot and pay him $15." "Well?" "When I got the parrot home, it turni out to be a parrot that can't say a word, and it was then my wife gave me the advice about the two years." "What do you want us to do?" "Lemme show you what kind of a motion he made when he wanted the parrots to say "Good morning, papa. It was just like this." As the visitor seizes a policeman's club and waves it every one except the bird store proprietor, who was once an actor, is startled, for the ex pression "Good morning, papa," ut tered in a sepulchral tone, rings through the station house, and no parrot is In sight. Tableau, as all realize that the ut terer is a ventriloquist, who is also so much an artist that he was unable to control his powers of subterranean utterance when he saw the club move. And as the complainant realizes it, he apologizes for ever having com plained at all. saying that the fact that all his money has been spent is all that prevents him from giving the bird store man a second $15 to put in his bank besides the first.

My friends have given me showers, and we've even picked out the house and hired it, and 've're beginning to talk about setting the actual date for the wedding. I've been afraid for two or three months that I didn't care enough but that was what made me realize Just how badly I did feel. Why, when we talked about actually being mar ried on this day or that it just seemed as if everything went back. I felt as if I were being sentenced to prison. Isn't that a perfectly awful way for a bride to feel? "But what can I do? How can I break it iff? What will people say? What will he say? Oh, Miss Cameron, sometimes when I wake up in the night and think it all over, I feel as if I were going crazy, or as if it must be all a terrible dream. But I can t pos sibly turn back. Can I?" I wonder what the other women wno have been in that same position and have gone on would say to "I can t possibly turn back. Can I?" I am afraid they would laugh ir tney heard it that terrible bitter melan choly laugh like the laugh of the girl that Dick painted in "The Light that Failed" which is the saddest sound in the world. "Tou think it takes more strength than you've got to stop now," they would say. "Now how much strength do you think it'd going to take to go on and live forty or fifty or sixty years with a man you don't love?" One mistake never corrects another. The bramble bush philosophy of our nursery rhyme doesn't work in real life. This girl has made one terrible mis take in getting engaged to a man she doesn't love. She certainly can t cor rect it by making the even more ter rible blunder of marrying him. Listen, my dear girl and any others who may be in a similar position first don't be swayed by any passing mood of resentment or overtried nerves in this matter. Be sure you know your ov.n mind this time. Give your feel ings a reasonable test of time. But once you are sure, don't let any con siderations of what people will say or what he will say have a feather's weight with you. Think how much worse things they would probably say at the divorce suit. Go ahead and do what you know Is right and befit, and you will find strength for all the recriminations and embarrassments and misery of broken habits that can possibly come. Go straight ahead and if discouraged moments come hold tight to your heart the comfort that six months of misery is better than sixty years. You feel as !f you were In a terrible dream. You are. And you can awak en yourself now if you will make th- effort. But marriage would convert your dream into a reality from which you could never awake.

The Taft special reached the capital of Washington on time. The president was driven with Governor Hay immediately to the capitol. Before making his principal address to several thousand persons, Mr. Taft stopped to exchange court esies with several hundred school children. He put several questions to the children, but there was only one apparently that they could not ans wer. '"Who is this with me?" inquir ed the president, turning to Gov. Hay. "We don't know, sir," answered a score of voices, and the crowd laugh ed. "WTell, he's your Governor Hay," continued Taft with a laugh. "Yes, sir," dutifully echoed the children. The president spoke on the eapjtol steps. He chose the tariff vetoes for his subject and explaining how the bills came before him, declared that reciprocity "is a dead issue at any rate a dead issue at present." "It's pretty hard nowadays to tell who is a Republican and who is a Democrat," said the president in be ginning his speech. The president congratulated Washington on the pro gressive legislation, that haa been adopted in the state, and said that he was especially interested in the work men's compensation act, a subject now being considered by a special commis sion appointed by congress.

Allendoerfer of the First National bank of Kansas Citv. who formerly uvea in ivansao, paid Topeka a nice compliment. "The city of TopeKa is aiwujs nuo pitable," he said. "Its population is known in this particular not only ovei the state, but in adjoining states. We thank you for the invitation to come here, and we are glad vve are nere. 'I am glad Mr. Sessions spoKe as ne did on legislation. I think there is no onestion that the adoption of currency reform will not be done well without a campaign of education. "I have always thougnt tne group meetings the best part of the Kansas Bankers' association, said J. R. Bur row, the chairman, -nere we can make personal acquaintances. Every banker should make the acquaintance of his correspondents. We disagree on a great many things, but we can meet here to have ia frank discussion of questions of importance." The report of the secretary, s. i-:. Cobb, showed that there are now til banks in Group 2 which represents 13 counties and a total membership of 117. There are 35 banks in the district that are not members. On the afternoon program D. R. An thony was slated to speak on "Doings in Congress of Interest to Bankers:" State Bank Commissioner J. N.

Otis Hungate. for the defense, quoted from decisions in the O'Shay case from Wichita and succeeded in removing all negative statements from Murphy's declaration and such matters as other persons might testify to. This resulted in the weakening of the statement to a considerable extent. Murphy, on his death bed, had denied that he had a club in his hand or con tinued to advance on Archer after the first shot was fired. This part of the statement was deftly removed by th court. Maggie Murphy, widow of the mur dered man, told of the killing. She had gone to her son-in-law's home to quell a row between Archer and his wife. Archer cursed her. she said, and Mur phy interfered. He was standing in his own yard, she testified, when the shots were fired. The state will close its direct case against Archer some time this after noon. Then the defense will probably occupy the greater part of a day with its testimony. The case may be sub mitted to the jury some time Friday. Harry Archer, the defendant, is 38 years old. He married Mrs. Murphy's illegitimate daughter 18 months ago The state rested the case at 2-30 o clock this afternoon. The defense will attempt to finish the evidence this afternoon.

The most enthusiastic meeting of real estate men and others who are interested in the development of To peka was held this noon at the Com mercial club that has been held in a lone time. Music was furnished by the Hawaiian orchestra from the Ma jestic theater, and aside from the re marks of the president of the Topeka Real Estate Dealers association, an address was delivered by Robert Stone. "If the real estate men would work with as much enthusiasm as do these musicians, we would soon build a great city," said Mr. Burge. "En thusiastic co-operation will be the so lution of accomplishing our end. If every one of the 100 members of this association and all the members of the Commercial club would solve the one question, 'What can I do for Topeka?' I tell you we would do wonders for this community. At our next meeting wo will discuss this question." "A knocker can not be a good real estate man and never has been," said Robert Stone in the course of his ad dress. "Wichita will tell of the faults of Topeka don't do it yourself. Cities grow because men of enterprise and vision build them." There seldom can be found any more becoming combination than that of a hat of black satin trimmed in white ostrich feathers. The hat shown is an example of this. It shows the new high-crown effect flaring slightly around the face to produce a fascinat ing semi-poke effect.

SCHOOL ROOM FTTMTGATET. Xcjsro Pupil nt Sunnier Develops Smallpox. One of the rooms in Sumner school, at Fourth and Western avenue, was fumigated by the city board of health last night. A case of smallpox orig inating in the Sawyer family at 410 Fillmore street was the cause. One of the boys of this family attended the Sumner school. The family is colored. The family has been taken to the city detention hospital with the excep tion of one member, who is confined under quarantine at the house on Fill more street. The city board of health is taking every means to curb the spread of the disease. "This compulsory vaccination order should appeal to the people more strongly now," said Commissioner Stotts this afternoon. "We will do all that is possible to Jeep the disease from spreading to the schools. It is the belief of the medical world that vaccination is the only real preventive of this disease." It has been reported to the city board of health also that the Madison school was in danger of the disease the first of the week. The janitor, a colored man by i.he name of Van Dyne, who lives at 10 Kaw avenue, discov ered that smallpox was in his family. Strict quarantine has been placed on the house and its occupants. The school is considered out of danger and no more cases have come near its doors. GRIFFITH MAY BUY LINKS. Despain Hasn't Disposed of Franchise But Wants To. Lincoln, Oct. 11.

Prevent Wilson Acting as Pres ident of Brewers. ESTEY MAKES KEPOllT. Condition of Cause of Missions Is Favorable. C. E. Contributions Have Been Decreasing. A resolution was sent to President Taft this morning by the Presbyterian synod of Kansas in annual session at the First Presbyterian church of this city, requesting him to use his influ ence in dissuading Secretary James Wilson from presiding over the meet ing of brewers and distillers, which will be held in Chicago beginning to day and continuing until October 22. The resolution reads: "To His Excellency, William H. Taft, President of the United States, Greetings: "The synod of Kansas of the Presby terian church, U. S. A., respectfully ask that you as president of the United States exert your influence and dis suade Secretary Wilson from presiding over the brewers and distillers' con vention to be held in Chicago October 11-22." Dr. Kstey's Report. Dr. S. S. Estey submitted a report on foreign missions which gave a sum mary of the conditions in the United States and in Kansas in the last year. "The offerings for the churches of the United States in the last year," said Dr. Estey, "were $82,000 larger than the previous year, and there was an increase In the Sunday school contribu tions of about $3,000, but we must la ment a decrease of about $1,300 in the young people's societies. During the last ten years the offerings from the churches to foreign missions have in creased 70 per cent. The increase in the American missionaries is only 40 per cent. "There were added to the church IS. 000 communicants and this is a gain of 12 per cent as compared with a probable gain of 1 per cent in the American churches. "Turning to our synod, we find that conditions give cause for both encour agement and disappointment. There has been an increase of about $1,600 in the offerings of the churches of Kan sas, but the number of churches con tributing has decreased from 221 to 216. The amount contributed by the Sunday schools has increased by $157, but the number of schools contribut ing has decreased from 77 to 70. "Many of the churches have been changing pastors in the last year. There has been a peculiar situation in this respect. "For the last six years the contribu tions on the part of the C. E. societies have been decreasing. I do not believe the C. E. is dead it may be dead un der that name." The morning session was devoted entirely to business, with the exception of a devotion-il service led by Dr. Wil liam Foulkes of Kansas City. The aft ernoon session was likewise devoted to business. At 5:30 o'clock a banquet will be tendered those present at the meeting by the College of IOmporia. The sermon at the opening meeting of the synod Tuesday night was preach ed by the Rev. John D. Hilton, of Con cordia. The Rev. Allen S. Davis, of Garden City, is moderator, and the Rev. George O. Nichols, of Wichita, assistant moderator.

How to Make Your Old Com plexions New Again. Women's Fortnightly Journal. The quickest and most natural way to renew an old complexion is to re move it. We all know that the outer skin should throw off the dead matter clogging the pores, of its own accord, but what with cosmetics, smoke, dirt, wind and all the other hardships we impose upon It. the outer skin becomes discouraged and only half performs its function of throwing off dead and dis figuring skin particles. The result is pimples, sallowness, liver spots, etc., etc. The only safe, as well as SURE, process to clear the complexion of these blemishes is to apply pure coleated balsam at night. Get an ounce and a half from your druggist, and you will be delighted to see that it wastes no time in beginning its work of clearing and actually remov- i ing all blemishes irora the skin. Your I complexion can be kept clear and love- J ly by using coleated balsam, which in- vigorates, whereas the majority of cold creams and lotions clog and re tard elimination of waste matter from the skin.. Cumbering Wrinkles and Double Chin Quickly Removed. The cause of wrinkles is well known to few outside the medical profession, and a real doctor, although he knows what causes wrinkles, does not prescribe for them. He is so absorbed with stomachs and livers and appendixes that a few wrinkles, more or less, make him say "Pooh!" But we women know how im portant wrinkles and enlarged pores and blackheads are to US. Why they are almost a matter of life and death to us, sometimes. Anyway, we are glad to find out that thermodized jelly will quickly and permanently remove them. Just get an ounce and a half from your druggist and rub half a teaspoonful into your face every day. It penetrates through the outer skin and reaches the fibrous tissue beneath, needing heart-energy and nour ishment. Pure thermodized jelly will very quickly bring about really marvelous results.

Later he was drawn to Kansas by the reported great mercan tile possibilities and opened a store at Clifton. His wife died at that place, leaving him a son, Harry Funnell. nov at Taylor, Wash., and a daughter. Katherine Funnell, who lives at 1219 Jackson street, and to be near whom he came to live in Topeka. Besides C. C. Funnell. another broth er.

THE TOFEXA DAILY STATE JOUENAE WEDNESDAY EVENING.OCTOBEE 1L 1911. INTO THE FOLD. Work o Foreign Missions Is Re Tiewed at Meeting1. Iter. James L. Barton, Secretary, Says Conditions Are Good. GAINS AKE MADE. This Is Shown in Number of Schools. Hospitals Doing Much to prove Conditions. Ini- Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 11. "The an nual survey of the missions" was pre sented at today's session of the Ameri can board of commissioners for foreign missions, which is holding its annua meeting here by Rev. James L. Bartcn U. D., of Boston, the foreign secretary of trie board. After referring to the eight honorc-3 missionaries of the board who have died during the pa-st year- Secretary Barton began his survey of the tie! 1 with a review of the outstanding ;jo litical events of the year; the revolu tion in Mexico; the difficulties of th: new regime in administering the Turk ish government; Chinas rapid step towards representative government an J the change to Republican government in Portuguese est Africa. All the.-' changes, he affirmed, have made con dttions for missionary work brighter. A larger religious liberty is looked for in Mexico with more emphasis put upon education. Libery of the press freedom of travel, and freedom of speech have been continued in Turkey though under some perhaps necessary limitations. The rapid suppression oi the opium trade and the advance other reforms in China augur well lor better conditions iu that empire. And if the statement of Portuguese officials can be relied upon, missionary work ,n Portuguese Africa will receive more liberal consideration in the future than in the past. The relations be tween the natives and the government in Natal have also been greatly im proved under the new government there. Readjustments in mission fields and in other management become neces sary from time to time, as in the case of all living and growing bodies. Dr. Patton's visit to several of the mission fields this year and the sending of a commission to Turkey next year for a conference of all Turkish missions to review their interests together and to decide upon new plans and policies are an indication that tne Doara is en deavoring to keep its work well ii hand, and adopted to new conditions as they arrive. In the interest ot mis sionary comity and efficiency certain transfers of missions have been made or are contemplated. The mission at Guam has been passed over to the general Baptist Foreign Missionary so city of Indiana; negotiations are in progress with the Methodist Kpiscopal church, north, with reference to pass ing over the American board's work in Spain to them, as that body is espe ciallv well equipped for work in Euro pean countries. Certain changes in the Micronesian islands and in some parts of Turkish missions looking to ward better co-operation with other missionary societies are still under consideration. The Work In China. As one looks over the fields to note the more conspicuous events of the year, attention is called to the decision to transfer the Par gsehwang station to Tecltou in north China, only eight miles away, but on the railroad and Grand canal, a wide awake and im portant location which offers a better center for missionary work. In West Africa, plans are maturing for the or--ganization of a training school for young men to provide preachers and teachers for the work of evangelization in that country. In the Madura mis sion the new plan of giving into the hands of the native churches, a large responsibility and control in general work of the mission while still in its infancy, promises a real advance. At Van and Mardin, in eastern Turkey, the call is becoming very urgent for enlarged educational work. The sta tion at Van is called upon to supply educated leaders for not only eastern Turkey, but southern Russia, and western Fersia, and feels the need of a school of college grade. Similarly Mardin, which touches Arabi peoples to the south, feels that need of an in stitution of grade that will enable it to train native preachers and teach ers. In stormy Albania, where the sky seems now brightening a little, the board has decided to make Elhasan its center of work. It plans to build a house on land already purchased, to be followed in time by hospital and school. Money for Education. I Secretary Barton then reviewed the educational advance of the year. The Bum of $1,000,000 has been received for the higher educational endowment fund, whose goal is set at $2.0O0,Q0O. The first institutions to receive its aid are those training young men for the ministry. The influence and power of education is deepening constantly throughout the east, especially in the training of girls. Industrial educa tion is not being over pressed, but in some countries, like Africa, is of large importance. The statistics of the year, while not a sufficient index of growth. show advance in many ways. The mission ary body remains about the same in number. The native laborers show an increase of more than 140. Churches and schools have made gains. The fig ures of medical work cover 2 7 hos pitals and 37 dispensaries, and show record service to over 35,000 patients last year, the total treatments in hos--pitals and dispensaries being 244,000. Native contributions amount to the fiOF.RO Fresh Cocoanut Shredded 15c Pound WM. GREEN SON GROCERY CO. it is? W TO Pi I I 1 substantial sum of $295,360. When the value of a dollar in many of these places Is considered, this gain is most significant. Moro Work Needed. Following the survey four mission aries, representing as many of the board missions, presented the chal lenge of progress in India, Turkey, Africa and China, and four others the challenge of need in these lands. Against the stir of the new am bitions in India the new liberty in Turkey the development of Africa and the natives part therein, and the as tonishing advances in China, were set the urgent needs of more workers, better equipment and more compelling power. The forenoon session closed with an address by Dr. Henry A. Stimson of New York, bearing on the annual survey. MUIRHEAD IS NAMED. Attorney General's Relative Alleged to Have Taken. Money. Concordia. Kan., Oct. 11. Dr. Beach, the county health officer, fumigated the Barons house, early last spring, while the owner, Charles Martin, was running the house. He presented a bill of something over a hundred dollars to Martin for the work, which Martin re fused to pay. Dr. Beach presented the claim to the county commissioners for payment, and they refused payment, on the grounds that Martin should pay it. M. Muirhead, Attorney General Daw son's brother-in-law. and the special representative of Governor Stubbs sent here to do this sleuth stunt for the governor, stopped at the Barons house while here, and Martin called his atten tion to the matter of the charge against him for fumigation. Muirhead told him that for a pay ment to him of twenty-five dollars he would guarantee that he would not have to pay the bill. Judge Rigby, whom Martin has retained as his at torney, since a suit has been brought against him by Dr. Beach for the bill, says that Martin paid the money, and that Muirhead gave him a receipt and written guarantee from harm from tha charge. Martin has notified Muirhead that he has been sued, and wants him to make good his guarantee. At the same time. Judge Rigby says that he has been retained to protect Mar tin's interest. Mr Muirhead says that he was sim plv retained as an attorney by Martin and stands ready to represent mm. we says that ne aid r.ui euaidnicc against a suit. BUILD HEW BAKERY To Be the Most Modern Plant in the State. The transfer was made today for the plot of ground seventy-five feet by one hundred and thirty, numbers 10i-9-ll Vest Tenth street, where the Royal bakery, Mose and Sam Alexander pro prietors, win erect a two siuij the entire structure to ue ananisra -1 equipped for the making of Thoro- Bread and other "oyai utiK.ery ti in ducts. The building will occupy the entire plot with two stories and basement. This will be the third move tor ire Roval bakery, each time to secure needed room to supply the increasing demand for their products. 'We began the bakery business at Kansas avenue about tour years ago and were making about 2,500 loaves a clay with an old style oven." said Mr. Alexander this morning. "Within six months we moved here, 617-619 Quincy street, where we erected three modern ovens and equipment as tne case ae- anded to keep up with the DaKery needs. Today we are making seven thousand loaves daily and in the new bakery we expect to construct four ovens, three continuous steam of the most modern type and one pastry oven which will give us a 20,000 loaf capacity daily if needed." The Royal bakery, when in its new home, will have practically alt new equipment if plans are followed. Speci fications for the new bakery building provides for abundance of light and air. Proofing rooms for tne raising ol bread dough will be finished so that an equal temperature may be maintained at all times, insuring uniformity and certainty of products. 'We are going in for a strictlv san itary shop," explained Mr. Alexander, 'plenty of light, plenty of room and strictly modern and new equipment whereby the entire operation of mak ing bread will be done by machinery and human hands will not come in con tact with the materials except in a very small degree." Construction on the new bakery building will be started within a few weeks, as soon as detailed plans are completed. The site purchased seems an extremely favorable location as it is within seventy-five feet of the ave nue and opposite the new Memorial building. The Royal bakery is one of the sub stantial and progressive manufacturing concerns of the city, at present employ in twenty-five men and a weekly pay roll of approximately $500. i A. A.

As the result of a conference between a committee from the Newark board of trade and the state commissioner of vehicles, automobilists taking part in the Glid den tour will be allowed to pass through New- Jersey next Saturday without taking out a New Jersey auto mobile license.

CROWE ADMITS IT Acknowledges Writing Objec tionable Letter. Declares Did It at Request of Dr. A. M. Winters. FOLEY CASE IS UP. Topeka Dentist Said lie Would Mail Naughty Missive. Stenographer Received Letters Not Fit for Mails. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 11. At least one of the letters which Miss Helen Foley, a Topeka stenographer, received and as a result of which Dr. A. M. Winters is on trial for sending objectionable matter through the mails was written by Will Crowe, a stenog rapher. He did it, however, he de clares, at Winters' request. The complaining witness in the case. Miss Helen Foley, is comely in ap pearance. She charged Dr. Winters with sending her several obscene let ters through the mail and he denies the charge. Their Contents Secret. It was explained that letters unfit for reading by any one had been ad dressed to Miss Foley and signed by Winters. There were several of these letters, all of which were offered as exhibits during the trial, but the con tents were not divulged openly. Miss Foley explained that she received all the missives through regular mail chan nels. Crowe recognized all the letters as they were handed to him, explained the circumstances under which they had been written and why he had written them because Winters had asked him to. When asked pointedly whether it had been he who composed, wrote and mail ed the letters, witness said emphatical ly "no!" He admitted that he had written at least one of ths letters, a typewritten one, and addressed at least one en velope with a pen. Admits Writing One. "Referring to exhibit No. 1," said Mr. Monroe, picking up the typewrit ten letter and showing it to the wit ness, "I'll ask you whether you did not write that." "Witness replied in the affirmative. "Didn't you know at the time that it was an unfit letter to be sent to any one?" "Well, yes." "Then what did you send it for?" "I didn't send it." "But you knew it was to be sent, didn't you?" "No, I didn't." "What did you suppose was going to be done with it?" "I didn't know." "Well, you know it wasn't a fit let ter to be sent to any one, didn't you?" Witness said he did. "Then why did you write it?" "Because I was asked to." Crowe said further that he had warned Winters against the mailing of letters, as he thought there was a probability of his having to answer to the government authorities. "Then what did Winters say?" he wag asked. "He said he would mail the letter if it killed him." Crowe still was on the stand under cross examination late this afternoon. CAMPAIGN IX NEWSPAPERS. Xorman E. Mack Would Spend 50 Per Cent in Advertising. New York, Oct. 11. "I can tell you gentlemen that the only way to promote a campaign nowadays- is to advertise in the newspapers." said Norman E Mack, chairman of the Democratic na tional committee, in an address last night at the banquet of the Sphynx club, an organization of advertising men. "I would spend 50 per cent of all the campaign fund for newspaper advertis ing," he continued. "Should I ever run a campaign again I would employ this method, for it is the only way. The eum shoe method is passed and newspaper advertising is the keynote of success." K. V. ORGAXIZES WILSOX CLVB. Democrats. Elect Officers Erom Among 150 Members. Lawrence. Kan., Oct. 11.

Chief Bender Chosen by Mack for Saturday Contest. BOTH TEAMS FIT. Regular Lineup Will Start in First Uig Game. SUrkle and Myers Declare They Are in Condition. New York, Oct. 11. "Managers have their troubles but the physical condi tion of the players probably will be the least of them in the world's series of 1911," remarked John McGraw, mana ger of the New York Nationals, as he dropped into the club's headquarters on Broadway today. "In this respect at least, the coming games between th-i Giants and Philadelphia Athletics will be unusual, for both teams expect to take the field with their regular HneuP3 in fine form." If the weather clears the Giants will play Brooklyn a double header today and the games will be nothing more than exercise for those whom McGraw wants to keep on edge. The New York club has no players who will be inca pacitated from crossing bats with the Athletics. "Charley Horse" and Staleness Gone. Fred Merkle, first baseman, sprang a "Charley Horse" last week but has about worked it off. He said he did not think it would slow him up much. The Indian Meyers grew stale toward the close of the National league season and McGraw gave him a rest. Meyers says he is fit. McGraw probably will announce the following batting order for the Giants on Saturday: Devore 1. f., Doyle 2b., Snod grass c. f., Murray r. f., Merkle lb., Herzog 3b., Fletcher s. s.. Meyers c, Mathewson p. Reports from the Athletics' camp in dicate that First Baseman "Stuffy" Mclnnes will be back on the bag when the team meets the Giants. Mclnnes received a severe welt on the wrlrt from a pitched ball in one of the recent Detroit games. Manager Mack's bat ting order probably will read as fol lows: Lord 1. f., Oldring c. f., Collins 2b Baker 3b.. Murphy r. f., Mclnnes lb., Barry s. s., Thomas c. Bender p. HAVE WU CHANG. (Continued from Page One.) government of the city and the prefec ture. The province of Hu Peh a name which may be translated "Northiake" is considerably larger than England and Wales put together and has a population of 35,000.000. Wu Chang and Hankow, as great trade-centers anrj ports for ocean steamers, have both felt to a consid erable extent the Influence of western civilization on ideas. Within the last five or six vears both cities have thrown their idols into the street or into the river, clearing many of their temples of priests and all em blems of worship to make room for public schools. The movement has not been a religious one. but has been purely materialistic. The leaders of it. stimulated by the example of Japan in adopting western methods of teach ing, have been seized with the idea thai education is the one thing needed to make China great. The outbreak of revolution in Wu Chang appears to have come with the suddenness of rain from clear skies, and it can only be taken as an indica tion of the widespread disaffection throughout China. The last previous outbreak of revolutionary activity was In the presence of Sze Chueun, five hundred miles up the river, and it ap peared at Cheng Tu, an interior town, 175 miles north of the river. It is noteworthy, however, that Cheng Tu alo is a provincial capital. Students of Chinese affairs have be lieved for a year or more that the signs pointed to a long series of out breaks which pessimistic observers be lieve will lead to the dismemberment of the empire. The struggle is said to be in its essence a test of strength be tween the great central government and the provincial baronies, in this way resembling the feudal wars of Europe In the middle ages. NEGRO HANGED AND SHOT. Officers Escaped With Willis Jackson But Car Broke Down. Greenville. S. C, Oct. 11. Willis Jackson, a 1 7-year-old negro, who as saulted an 11-year-old white girl at Honea Path, was hanged to a tele phone pole by one foot and his body shot to pieces by a mob. The lynching took place at 11:25 o'clock last night. Following a chase extending over 100 miles, a mob overpowered the sheriff and his deputies six miles north of Greenville yesterday afternoon and secured the negro. The negro after committing the crime was arrested by officers and spirited to Anderson by automobile. A mob followed, but on arriving at Anderson found that the negro had been taken to Greenville. Then followed a 37-mile race across country between an automobile, bear ing deputies In charge of the negro, and a score of machines filled by the mob. Fearful lest the jail here would not withstand an attack from a mob, the prisoner was hurried toward Spartan burg. The machine bearing the negro broke down after leaving here and the party concealed themselves in the woods. On returning here the chauffeur, who drove the party, was seized by the mob and forced to show them to the spot where the negro was concealed. PIAV LAST MIDWEEK GAMES.

Bulls Hav a Bad Time in Wheat Pie. Failure of Frosts Tend to Weak en Prices. LIVE STOCK THADE. Cattle Steady Natives Selling at $5.35 to $8.35. Hogs Are Quoted at Five Cents Ltmer. Chicago, Oct. 11. WHEAT Failure of frost to damage crops in the Argentine counted today against the bulls in wheat. Big receipts northwest had a similar effect ana there was additional discouragements in the fact that the European political situation was looked on as having an aspect more favorable to the bear side. Sentiment for lower prices was increased because of pit shorts having covered free ly and owing to the absence of outside demand. The opening was Vsc to Vitf'c down. December started at 98c to 98'Ac, a decline of &,a to Vt'&o and fell to 97c. The market most of the time was slug gish, owing to there being no session to morrow. Near the end though there was a rally owing to the evening up of trades. The close was firm with December HSsC net higher at $98c. CORN With arrivals expected to he larger owing to good weather corn turned weak. There was quite a general rusn to sell. December opened a shade to 4fX7fcc off at 64c to 6414c and sagged to 64 64c. Increase of countrv offerings acted as a drug but the market finally recovered with wheat. The close was steady at 64'g64;)4c for December, a net loss of c. OATS Oats were easy with wheat ana corn. Little pressure from bears could be noticed. December started the same as last night to a sixteenth lower at 47W8' 47c to 47c and descended to 47c.

Von Claussen, Who Sued Roose velt, Believed to Be Insane. New York, Oct. 11. Mrs. Ida Von Claussen, who once started suit for a million dollars damage against Theo dore Roosevelt and others because of an alleged conspiracy to keep her from being presented at the royal court of Sweden, and has gained notoriety in a variety of other ways, has been sent to the psychopathic ward of Bellevue hospital for a five days' observation as to her sanity. There was a scene in Tombs court when Magistrate Herbert announced his decision. Mrs. Von Claussen ap peared in the supreme court yesterday in her action for divorce from Dr. William F. Honan. Justice Green baum of the supreme court received a telegram Sunday, dated at Chicago, in which Mrs. Von Claussen said: "Justice and liberty is all I ask. If foul play marks your decision, God help you!" Justice Greenbaum believed that the woman's telegram indicated an un sound mind and he sent Mrs. Von Claussen to the Tombs court for ex amination. "What are you doing?" she exclaim ed, as the magistrate announced his decision. "You are taking away my reputation. If you commit me I will communicate with the German em peror. You will nna you are nancuing fire I have lived in Germany for four years and I have applied for citizen ship." HIGH SCHOOL NEWS. The high school students are very indignant over the fact that they do not get a holiday tomorrow. The stud ents were all sure that they woulJ surely get a vacation, but a notice on the bulletin board this morning scat tered their hoes. The football team scrimmage with Washburn again made a good show ing. Washburn still shows weakness in breaking up the forward pass, as the high school boys made repeated gains on it. Several of the high scnool regulars are out of the game tempor arily on account of injuries, but all expect to be able to play by Satur day. The K.E.Y.S., the girls organization of the subsenicr class, have chosen the emblem for their society. It is in the shape of a small key, and a number of them have been ordered througi a Topeka jeweler. It is probable that a game will be played with the Holton high school team, which recently defeated Topeka, at Topeka later In the season. Both teams seem to be anxious to play again.

STOCKS The demand for stocks today was con fined almost entirely to the limited re quirements of professional operators who did not wish to increase their commit ment in view of the holiday tomorow. Prices soon shaded off, and list became lifeless. Almost the only activity was in American Tobacco 4 per cent bonds. The Hill stocks were heavy following the pessimistic utterances of the head of the system. Speculation was steadier for a time in the second hour but the geenral recovery was hindered by persistent sell ing of Reading which went down to 135. There was a rise of 1 in United States Rubber and Southern Railway preferred,. Bonds were firm. When Reading began to manifest weak ness the whole list sold oft but the usual market leaders did not yield to much be low yesterday's closing. Reading gave way from 137 to 136. Trading became very dull around the low figures. Large purchases of American 'Tobacco four pt-t cent bonds advanced them 1 to 89. The 6 s were neglected but held firm. A fairly active demand for the leading stocks advanced prices in the lnital trans actions today. Changes were restricted to fractions except in the case of Western Maryland, which rose a point. American Smelting, Southern Pacific and Southern Railway preferred were in good demand at higher prices. Canadian Pacific show ed some heaviness. Whenever selling ceased and the market made some progress upwards, a fresh at tack on Reading sent it down to a lower level than before and the whole list re acted in sympathy. Reading yielded to" 135, the lowest of the week and only 1 above the low level of the year. Pressure against the market ceased af ter midday and there was a sharp frac tional rally in the railroad list. Union Pacific rose to a fraction above yester day's close and Reading also made up a good portion of its losses. New York Money Market. New York, Oct. 11.

Saw Willie Sells. -I was in Topeka 20 years ago for the first time with Al Field s minstrel show," said Mr. Hyams last night, -we traveled and slept in our ow n car had just a little cupboard underneath tnc bunk for all of our clothing by Uie -way but we ate at hotels. When m Topeka we stopped at the hotel con ducted bv Mr. Sells, the father of Wil lie Sells, who died recently. W hiie 1 do not recall the father plainly, I re member Willie. He was a dapper young man and exceptionally well dressed. I remember seeing him around the hotel and envying him. I thought he must be a prettv big person. "At that time I was just a song and dance man and played brass in the band at about twenty dollars a week. "I had my ups and downs. One time, early in the morning, while we -were passing through a station near Rock Island, the train stopped and I o-nt off in mv pajamas to get a sand wich The train started off without me and I chased that train clear to m. R1 a-g rick Island in my some nai scanty ,tire. "In that minstrel show was Harry Riding, now head man lor Henry Sav age. Former t iffar Man. I alwavs had a taste for theatricals. My parents bought a cigar store for me at my home. Troy, N. Y., but I an swered an ad for a song and dance man in the New York Clipper, and thus went into the show business, much to the horror of my parents who nearly disowned me. "Yes. I play golf; will play at St. Joe tomorrow with Reid Murray and Wal lace Evans from Kansas City." Here Harold Mclntyre, brother of Delia Mclntyre and leader of the chorus, came to borrow a towel. "Yes, you can have the towel, but mind you bring it back," said Miss Mc lntyre. "This is the third towel he has borrowed and he never brought the other two back," she added to the visitor. "My mother was musical," she re plied to a question. "She trained girls to sing for the stage in New York city and that is how I got into theatrical work. Like vaudeville? Yes. Vaude ville is a delightful thing, and has its pleasant features, but of course we do not play to the same class of people as we do in musical comedy. How ever, I was afraid at first the Quaker part would be too quiet for the aver age audience. "We certainly appreciate our large nd attentive audience we had tonight. "No. I never knew- Mr. Hyams until I was in theatrical life, although his home at Tro- was onlv thirty miles from my own at Bennington, Vt." Neither Mr. Hyams or Miss TUTn- tyre is the least infatuated with them selves as too often i sthe raso with stars of their magnitude.

Miss Mc lntyre has a wonderful conception of ml MLU7 Medders. theQuaker maid. Her acting was perfectly fit ting to the part of an innocent, sweet Quaker lass.

Her singing leaas a. peiauu tt predict great things for her. No hitcn in tne penormance. ti" nlot is full of interesting situations and delightful features.

The chorus as a whole was the prettiest and most ar tistically costumed of any seen on a Topeka stage for some time. It is a clean play. Mixed with much comedy and wit, much wholesome truth and philosophy. And after see ing the beautiful costumes, and hear ing the beautiful love story of the city bachelor and country Quaker maid, who nursed him and "became so fond of him," it leaves the memory as re freshed as a walk in a country lane just before sunrise, and a taste on the mond's palate as sweet as the odor of apple blossoms in the spring time. litems Car the Oakland column taajr telephoned to liid. phnn l.iLJ Mr. and Mrs. Will Breery. of Maple Hill, who bought the property at 361 Kellam avenue, moved in yesterday.

Kan., Oct. 11 Keplevi i papers have been served on Sheriff Larkin by Coroner James Davis, com manding him to turn over to Brandon and Beal liquors to the total value of $492.75. seized by the sheriff under or ders from the attorney general, John Dawson. t'nder the law he must hold it 24 hours. During that time the plaintiffs can put up a replevin bond for twice the value of the goods and get them back provided the attorney general doesn't put up a redelivery bond and restore the booze to the custody of the sheriff. The chances are that Brand in and Beal will be allowed to undertake the task of keeping the booe from spoil ing. It is not believed the attorney general will have the state of Kansas put up a redelivery bond. Should the task of keeping the booze from spoil and the replevin action be upheld by the courts, Governor Stubbs would find himself in the unique situation of hav ing to buy booze to replace that spoiled. The liquor was bottled here and ship ped outside the state. No retail busi ness was carried on here. MACHINE AGENT HER. VNCLK. Now Former Kansas Woman Wants Money He Promised. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 11.

Chapman. Randolph, and Soldier. Municipal Matrimony a Success. Des Moines, Oct. 11. That the mu nicipal matrimonial bureau organized here last week is proving a great suc cess is shown by the number of let ters received by C. E. Lytton, general manager of the bureau from all parts of the United States. Hutchinson, Kan., Oct.' 11. As a di rect result of the alleged swindling operations of Henry J. Martens, whose land schemes caused heavy loss to a good many Mennonite farmers of near Hutchinson, John P. Berg, a Mennon ite ranchman who moved from Kan sas to southern California, is now bankrupt. Mr. Berg was one of a number of farmers who were persuaded by Mar tens, it is alleged, to buy tracts of land, which later proved to belong to others. Mr. Berg invested all his property in the Martens scheme, and when the bubble burst he was left bankrupt. Martens was prosecuted for his al leged shady manipulations. He had an office in Hutchinson for a time. He was a member of the Mennonite brotherhood, and through that means was able to get a foothold for his deals among that usually cautious and wary class of citizens. In an account of his manipulations in California, the Los Angeles Times says: A little more than three years ago a man giving the name of Henry J Martens dropped into the Anaheim neighborhood. He joined the Anaheim church, sang bass in the choir, and was a constant attendant upon divine services. After he had sufficiently in gratiated himself into the good graces of the people he unfolded a Kern coun ty land scheme, it is alleged. So win ning were his ways that he induced a number of the ranchers in that section to purchase tracts which he represent ed to be worth from $50 to $75 an acre. "He dwelt at length upon the bar gain he was effering his friends and at last a dozen of the farmers bought on contract various pieces of real estate. Berg and his Wife executed three notes for $500, $500 and $120 re spectively, and gave them to Martens. It is said in several other instances the ranchers not only gave notes as part payment on contract but ad vanced money to Martens to bind the sale. There is a suit now pending in the federal court to prevent the col lection of a note for $3,500 given by an Anaheim .rancher in the same scheme. "After the real estate transactions were closed the notes given by Berg and his wife were transferred to the Topeka bank, and by that institution transferred to C. E. Gault, who ap pears in the case as an innocent pur chaser. Soon after the execution of the notes, and before anything in the shape of a provisional deed had passed from Martens to the various purchasers, the land was levied upon and sold under a blanket mortgage and the investors had nothing left to show for their money and evidence of indebtedness."

In order to stimulate business, spotters were sent out to hint around that the lid was off in this particular place, and that the booze could be bought here. Three times the police raided the place, but found no beer at any time. Only this amber-colored stuff that re sembled beer only in appearance was lound.

Hodgson, of southwest of Hutchinson, was one of the survivors of the siege in which a mere handful of union soldiers stood off an entire Confederate army. Mr. Hodgson was a color bearer in the Fourth Minnesota. For many days the little garrison at Allatoona Pass, Ga., held the post. Finally relief column was sent to help them. From one mountain peak to anoth- er the signal message was wig-wag ged: "Hold the fort. We're coming. And the Allatoona fort was held. When Gen. Sherman's army march ed in review up Pennsylvania avenue Wichita, Kan., Oct. 11. Champ Clark, speaker of the national house of rep resentatives, did not come to Wichita to talk politics and he steadfastly re fused to be drawn into a discussion of any political situation. Instead the distinguished Missourian devoted his leisure time to reminiscences of the year of 1875, when for a brief period he engaged in the practice of law in this city. For an hour or more Mr. Clark sat in the lobby of the Hamilton hot.-l and related incidents of pioneer days here. He had as his audience Thomas Blodgett, of the Cox-Blodgett Dry Goods company, and a newspaper re porter. It was on May 1, 1875, that Mr. Clark hung out his shingle in Wichita, which was little more than a hamlet then. He had just graduated from a law col lege at Cincinnati, O., and he argued his first case right here in Wichita. Mr. Clark was not pleased with hi3 showing in this part of the country and on the night of July 6 of the same year, he packed his grip and went tc Great Bend, Kan., where, after trying the Kansas game a while longer, he finally wended his way, somewhat dis couraged, to Louisiana, Mo., from which city he made his last move to Bowling Green, his present home. Had Just One Case. I had just one real good case whve in Wichita and it was some kind of a damage suit in which considerable money was involved," said Mr. Clark. The case was still pending when i. decided to go elsewhere and I turned my client over to H. G. Ruggles, wno paid me $10 as my share of the so to be earned from the case." At the time Mr. Clark cast his lot in in WnshiTHtnTi tha rlrs if ttiA war, the Fourth Minnesota was first this city, the outlook was not bright for in line, and Hodgson, now recovered 1 mis section 10 uevoiop mui:u &nu from the injury at Vicksburg. carried the first flag in the parade, as color bearer.

That the football team isn't getting all the ap plause at the Kansas Agricultural col lege was shown in student assembly when President Waters read a tele gram which said that the Aggie stock judging team had won first place in the judging contest at the American Royal Stock show in Kansas City. The auditorium rang with the cheers of the students. And immediately there was talk of meeting the team at the train and giving them a rousing reception. The students, esoecially the agricul tural students, had waited eagerly for the result of the contest. It was thought that the Aggie team would make a better showing than last year but there were few prophecies that they would land in first place. That the teams of both Missouri and Iowa were defeated was most gratifying for those two schools have furnished for years some of the best stock judging teams in the United States. give rrasox shows monthly. Convicts Put on Creditable Perform ance- for Outsiders. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 11. The prison troupe, which gave a vaude ville performance last Thursday for the prisoners at the federal peniten tiary, gave another show for the fed eral officers who are in attendance at another young man, like the ambitious Champ, branded the field as hopeless and went away to do battle wnn tng fates in more promising environments. 'When I was here. Wichita was as dead as a doornail." continued the speaker. "It has been dead twice: then and afterwards when the boom busted, but whether statesmen and prize fight ers can 'come back' or not Wichita has demonstrated conclusively that a citv can 'come back, tor she is one of 'the best cities of her size in Amer ica today." Recalls Early Day Incidents. Mr. Clark was able to vividly de scribe several incidents of the early day here and he retains an intimate acquaintance with many of the pioneer citizens, some of whom still reside here. Col. Marcellus Murdock was run ning the Eagle when I hit town and I always found him inclined to predict great things for this town's future. He was a great optimist and so am t. Former Governor Stanley was prose cuting attorney here then and William P. Campbell was circuit judge. Kos Harris and his father. Judge Hams, were partners in the law business and they were building up a une practice while Mr. Dyer and II. C. Moss already had a full practice. Balderson Hald- win were partners too ana were amon.5 'he prom nent attorneys or mat unw. John C. Fraker was running the prin cipal bank here then and H. o,.

He Remembers "Vie" as a Ivifl. At this juncture a broad smile spread over Speaker Clark's face. "Oh. yes, and I can distinctly re member 'Vic' Murdock. He was a lit- tln red-headed boy in knee Dreecnes. and a mighty bright and lively young ster too. If I had known what present day insurgency was then, 1 would have at once proclaimed 'Vic' the makings of an ideal insurgent." Randall X. Bordeaux, a sign writer who still is in business nere, pamiea the first sign Mr. Clark ever had. The sign read: "Champ Clark, Attorney- at-Law." Mr. Bordeaux was among hk first visitors Mr. Clark entertained at tha Hamilton hotel ana tne two men had a lively half-hour chat of the days bvgone. 'Mr. Clark declared that he had deliv ered at least 45 speeches and lectures in the state of Kansas since entering ,n life. Hut he was given his first opportunity of addressing the people of Wichita last night, when he dis coursed on "The United States f America in the Twentieth Century, at St. Paul's church.

Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 11. Attor ney General Dawson Interfered with the work of our district court and held it idle for nearly an hour. About fifteen minutes before 2 o'clock the attorney general sent all the deputy sheriffs he could find scurrying around to take positions at liquor houses and guard them to pre vent the transfer of the liquors. When 2 o'clock came Judge Wendorf an nounced that he was ready to pro ceed with the trial of cases, but there was nobody at the jail to bring the prisoners down. The court waited until nearly 3 o'clock and then Tom Brown, who was alone at the jail, found somebody to leave in charge there and brought two burglars into court. see the proof everywhere.
