Condolences and Flowers Come From Many States. Serrices Conducted by Knights Templar and Local Lodge. The funeral of the late A. A. Hayes, freight auditor of the Santa Fe, who died from the effects of an accidental shooting, was held from the family home, 1101 Western avenue, this afternoon. Alore than fifty honorary pall bearers, otncials of the road, marched from the home to Sixth and Kansas avenue where cars were taken for the Topeka cemetery. Interment late this afternoon. The funeral -was most impressive unusually so because of the popularity of Mr. Hayes and owing to the fact that he died from the effects of blood poisoning following an accidental shooting in Belpre, Kansas, and he died while young, in excellent health and on the road to higher honors in the railroad world. Officials and friends were in Topeka to attend the funeral from all parts of the country. Representatives of the Santa Fe came from the Pacific coast and from Chicago. Flowers, telegrams and letters arrived from all over the United States. The services at the home were con ducted first by Dr. F. L. Loveland, pastor of the First Methodist church. The Knights Templar took charge here and marched with the body from the home to Sixth and Kansas avenue, fol lowed by fifty honorary pall bearers and the active bearers. At the grave in the Topeka ceme tery the Orient lodge of Masons con ducted the burial ceremony. Hundreds of employees of the Santa Fe and friends of Mr. Hayes in Topeka ac companied the body to its resting place. The active pall bearers were: 'W. E. Lawson, C. C. Henshaw. R. K. Wilson and R. C. Reed of the auditing de partment men who have worked with Mr. Hayes. From the Masons were Evan Davis, Allen Freeman, Charles Gardner and Charles Bailey. Among the honorary pall bearers were: C. W.

Thomas War wick C'Ton-mv) Johnson, famous quar terback of the Kansas university foot ball team, seasons 190S-10 and widely Unown in college ithletic circles throughout the Missouri valley as an all-around athlete, is dying of tuber culosis at the Kansas University hospi tal at Rosedale. a suburb here.

Johnson is 26 years old. His illness has been aggravated by an injury sus tained in a batketbail game with Ne braska university in St. Loais in 1909. Later he was seriously hurt in a col lege wrestU-.g match. When he was attending the Kansas university Johnson was to that insti tution what Poe was to Princeton and Eckersall was to Chicago. He was Kansas" ath:etic hero. During his four years in school Johnson was a member of every athletic team at the univer sity. He was a prominent frat" man and a leadtr in college dramatics. Tuesday Johnson seemed to be slight ly stronger, and he was given a copy of an atternoon newspaper to read. In lunr.in? through the football news he saw a story which said that he was not exper-tecl to live. The shock caused him to become much weaker. Weather Indications. Chicago, Nov. 23.

Washington, Nov. 23. Chief Justice White today refused to grant a stay in the trial of the Chicago beef packers hut referred the aftorneva irlrinp thA application to the entire bench with the statement tnat the matter was of too much importance for him to pass on it Individually. Attorney Miller announced that such an application to the entire court would be made at the first sitting, Decem ber 4. Attorneys for the packers indicated that efforts will be made to have Judge Carpontjr, of the ITnited States district court at Chicago, before whom the in dicted packers have been summoned for trial on Monday, grant a further postponement until the supreme court passes on the application for a stay. John S. Miller and Levy Mayer of counsel for the indicted beef p --kers in Chicago, arrived here today to begin the fight in the United States supreme court for a stay of the trial of the pack ers on charges of having criminally violated the Sherman anti-trust law. Their first move was to go to the clerk's office of the supreme court to docket the appeal from the order of Judge Kohl saat of the United States circuit court at Chicago, denying the release of the packers on habeas corpus proceedings at the clerk's office and appointment was made by Mr. Miller to lay the mat ter before Chief Justice White at his residence at once. The application before the court on December 4 will be for a "supersedeas," the technical term for a stay of pro ceedings in the lower court. Attorneys Miller and Mayer at once went to the clerk's office of the court and docketed the decorder of the habeas corpus pro ceedings before the United States cir cuit court in Chicago. In the proceed ings they had made an attempt to pro cure the re-lease of the packers from custody on the ground that the Sher man anti-trust law as a criminal meas ure was unconstitutional. The question was put to the attor neys as to what effect today's action would have on the triai before Judge Carpenter. The reply was that only Judge Carpenter could answer that. The attorneys then indicated they would make application to the judge for a stay until the supreme court passed on the application for the supersedeas. Attorneys Miller and Hayer returned to Chicago this afternoon. TOKANSANS.

J NEW MURDER GLUE Arrest Expected Soon in Ells worth killiiis Case. People Cancel Propose! Visits Fearing Fiend's Return. Ellsworth, Kan., Nov. 23. The reign of terror formerly existing here as a result of he Showman murders has become history here but the people of the town are reminded of it daily in more ways than one. For instance peo ple who had planned to visit friends and relatives here during the Thanks giving holidays are now canceling their appointments. They will not come for fear the murderer may return and burn the city or commit other murders. Peo ple outside Ellsworth are a great deal more frightened than those here. The reports that the officers made an arrest in the case Sunday night and that the culprit was spirited from town is denied by the officers. The lo cal authorities admit they are work ing on the elues afforded them but these are meagre and they profess to have very little faith in the result of their labors. Notwithstanding this, however, Ellsworth people expect some important development soon. The very air seems nervous and the affair is again getting on the nerves of. some people. "New" Evidence Is Old. The newly discovered evidence whteh the state officers and detectives told of recently and then declined to make pub lic is said to have been the tale toll by a medium visited by a brother of Showman during a recent stay in Wich ita. The spiritualist declared the mur derer was working on the Panama ca nal and going un.ier the name of Loon. This evider.ee has been in the hands of the county attorney for sometime but little value is placed on it. While the officers will not say any thing about their clues or intentions, the feeling here is that some action will be taken soon and that it involves local men rather than outsiders. There have been many reports of arrests of men who reti Je here in connection with the crime but these have been proved without foundation. But 'f any action is taken soon it is believed arrests will be made here rather than elsewhere. PREPAReTor" CHINA Army Officers at Manila Are Taking the Physical Test. Manila. Nov. 23. The American army officers stationed in the vicinity of Manila begin today the physical test which has been ordered by the military authorities. This is to pre pare them for a possible call for vol unteers for service in China, for which purpose it is intended to raise the Fifteenth infantry arriving here on December 1 to war strength. Divisional headquarters are very busy. The hospital corps and the en gine r corps are being fitted out with winter equipment. No information is given out but it is admitted that the Fifteenth regi ment is to be reinforced as a precau tionary measure and that the troops will be ready to start for China two days after their arrival here. Victims Try to Save Themselves by Clinging to Trees Are Quickly Washed Away by the Hushing Current. Samaur, France, Nov. 2 3. Sixty passengers, it is estimated, lost their lives through the plunging of a train Into the River Thouet this morning owing to the breakdown of a bridge on the State railway at Montreuil Bellay, in the department of the Maine-Et-Loire. The train, which had started from Angers, was traveling to Poitiers. It contained about 100 passengers. While Pretty Woman Who Is on Trial it was crossing the bridge over the Thouet the structure, which had been greatly weakened by recent tloods. broke, crashing with the whole of the cars into the swollen stream. Many ol the passengers who suc ceeded in getting out of the cars through the windows tried to save themselves by clinging to the tops of trees which showed above the sur face of the water. In most cases, however, they were quickly washed away by the rushing current. All the boats in the locality had been carried off by the inundation, so that it was impossible for the people of the neigh borhood to assist much in the work of rescue. No exact information is yet available as to the number of vic tims; or hs to those rescued. Ten corpses have been recovered from the river. Three of the cars were submerged but the roof of a fourth car is still visible above 'the surface. Kleven persons, including some chftdren are still clinging to this and thousands of people line the banks watching them but impotent to render aid. Several small boats made inef fectual attempts at rescue but the crews ran perilous risks and the boats were nearly swamped on several oc casion?. Saumur, Nov. 23. A total of twenty bodies have been taken from the river. As the exact number of passengers in the submerged cars was unknown. It was impossible officially to estimate the total number of Hi ad. Soldiers, engineers and firemen have been hurried to the scene to aid the rescue work. A merchant who tried to row out to the wreck in an effort to save a child, was drowned. DR. HYDE STILL SMILES When a Sparrow Flit and Dives About Ills Head. Kansas City, Nov. 23. The taking of testimony in the Hyde case began this morning. The state put on the stand James Craig, former city c!i:k of Independence, who told about ir. B. C. Hyde, accused of the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope, filing the d"atn certificate of Colonel Swope. Craig was followed by R. F,. Nutchell. who embalmed the body, and W. F. Stine, who had charge of the funeral. Their testimony was perfunctory and unim portant. If superstition were in the hearts of any of the spectators yesterday, they probably drew ill omen from the fact that, shortly before adjournment, a sparrow flitted about the court room and in its) mad dives in an effort to gain liberty soared time and again over the head of Dr. j.'yde. The doc tor merely smiled as the bird dipped over him. BOOI FOR LA FOLLETTE Campaign for Presidential Nomination to Start in California. San Francisco. Nov. 23. The Califor nia campaign for the nomination of Robert, M. LaFollette for president will be launched here Saturday afternoon when 200 supporters of the Wisconsin senator will meet for a formal confer ence. The call sent out by Secretary Detrick of the Republican state central committee has been signed by Gover nor Johnson, Lieutenant Governor Wal lace, Representative Kent and other.". President Frank R. Devlin, of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league in California, has been asked to preside. &EKTRW7EVV V Defendant Will Make a Plea of Temporary Insanity.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL CUPID ISNOT BUSY Noticeable Decrease in Marriage Licenses Here. Over Hundred Below Tear's Kecord. Last A B003I IN DIVORCES. Perceptiblelncrease for the Past Twelre Months. Officers Unable to Account for the Facts. Records issued today by Probate Judge Schoch show that the number of marriage licenses Issued in Shaw nee county are on the decline while records in the office of Richard L. Thomas, clerk of the district court, chow that in the last year there has been a boom in divorce business. In 1910 Judge Schoch disposed of ss-i marriage licenses. At closing time I Richmond.

There were no censes In Shawnee county in such a ligns of a breakdown this morning, the short space of time; and even opti- prisoner dressing with the same fastid mlstlc Judge Schoch seemed willing to 1 jOU3 C3LTe that he has taken ever since rive up the fight today as he looked at he entered the state penitentiary and the two rows of figures. Upstairs In the office of Richard L. Thomas, clerk of the court, there is a record of 358 applications for divorce In 12 months. This is a decided in crease over the divorce record of the previous year. To be sure, many applications for divorce are filed in the local courts and later dismissed. This record is hard to obtain without a careful-study of each individual case. On the other hand, the probate court often issues licenses on which returns are never made and the court has no way to determine whether the ceremony was ever performed. It is not an unusual case for a person to get a marriage license and not use It Sev eral such cases have come to light. But the prospective bridegroom keeps his sorrow within his own breast and never has the nerve to return and ask the court to refund his money. Come From Other Towns. The ord .or Issuance of marriage licenses includes the many coupler who come to Topeka from other towns to be married, and probably 20 per cent of the marriage license business in Shaw nee county is from foreign territory. But thiri would hardly be construed as an evidence for the Increase in the di vorce record. There are probably an equal number of disappointed husbands and wives who come to Topeka. gain t residence, and file their applications for a divorce decree. As Judge Schoch looked it his record today, he still held out one lone hope. Perhaps, ha said, the Thanksgiving and Christmas marriages would make up for the shortages. There are always many applications for licenses at this season of the year, the court declared, but even with this advantage he was not hope ful for en even break on the weddings. The clerks in the office were disap pointed. Try as they could, it was im possible to think of more local love af fairs than the town furnished a year ago. In the meantime the lawyers are busy with their divorce cases. The big grind of divorce decrees for tha present term, has already been well taken care of. Lawyers say that there may not be an other flood of petitions for several weeks. 3ut no one knows. Even the wise old lawyers can't tell when there will be an epidemic of domestic upris ings. Iney just sit down and wait for the business that Is sure to come, soon er or later. It's the same way with the probate tourt. You can't crowd a courtship, but if there are any Shawnee county love affairs that promise an early cul mination, it will be a personal favor to Judge Schoch if these people will buy their licenses early. In the meantime the county's divcrce and marriage rec ord does not balance right. OLD REBEL YELL It Is Heard Once More in the Good Roads Convention. Richmond, Va., Nov. 23. The advocates of federal appropriations for federal high way Improvement carried the good roads congress when the question came to a final vote. The yells of the southern dele gates who have led the fight for govern ment help, filled the auditorium when the report of the resolutions committee was adopted. The platform calls for federal aid to states which will join the move ment to contribute equally with the gov ernment. I he use of convict labor was unanimously endorsed. A movement to form an amalgamation of good roaas associations, pledged to work for national aid, was organized with the American Automobile association, the National Association for Highway Im provement, and some associations of man ufacturers of road building machinery and materials, the Inst named, it is claimed, representing $200,000,000 of capital. The American Automobile association has called a federal aid convention to meet in Washington, D. C-, on January 16, 1912. H. D. Hadley. of Plattsburg, N. Y., a delegate, made a strenuous effort to have the-- convention endorse President Taft's arbitration treaties on the ground that money now spent for war purposes could be diverted to good roads. The resolution for endorsement was lost in committee. A western city probably will be selected as the next meeting place. WHERE MARTIN STANDS Seventh District Republican Candidate Announces Platform, Judge Frank L. Martin, Republican candidate for congress for the Seventh Kansas district, has promulgated his platform. He is a Taft Republican and wants the tariff revised schedule by schedule. The Martin platform is as fol lows: In accepting the Republican nomination for congress In this district, I will define my position upon the matters which were the subject of discussion before the pri mary. I believe the result of the primary proves that the great mass of Republicans believe in all the important progressive principles declared for by all the candi dates. Without hesitation or reserve, I pledge myself to do all in my power to carry forward those principles, and to vote for laws to give the people what they want. I shall not put my Judgment up against what appears to be the honest desire an 1 wish of the people. The people who bear the burdens of the government are en titled to rule it- I have made no alliance or agreement with any Individual or faction. I shall not do so. -In considering the affairs of the party, I wish the advice and counsel of every voter. I will hold no private or secret meetings and no Republican need fear i-iat he will Interrupt a whispered con ference. I am for the revision of the tariff, one schedule at a time, upon the basis of nonpartisan information gathered by faithful public officers, and I believe that all monopolized and trust made goods should be put un the free list. I am against the proposal of the Dem ocrats of this district for a tariff for revenue only. In my opinion, such a tariff will leave the Kansas farmer with out protection for his products; will re duce prices below the cost of production; a stagnation jn business equal to, if not greater,, than in 1S93. I am for the election of United States senators by the people; trae appointment of federal judges by the president for limited terms; election of the president for one six year term; a reduction of of fices with increased responsibility for of ficeholders; the economical business ad ministration of all departments of the government: the conservation of natural resources; the physical valuation of rail roads and the adjustment and reduction of freight and express rates. HIS LAST DAY ON EARTH Breakdown. me ueiiui ceil. Rev. John J. Fix put In an appear ance early and probably will remain with Beattie during-the day. The elder Beattie, Douglass Beattie, brother of the convicted man, and the attorneys who defended him in the trial joined the minister soon afterward. Neither Beattie's attorneys nor his relatives be lieve he will confess.. His spiritual ad visers are of another opinion. They entertain the hope, amounting almost to conviction, that he will do so. "If he is guilty, I feel reasonably certain he will acknowledge all," said Rev. Dr. Fix. "To go to his death with a lie on his lips would be sacrilege and Beattie Is at peace with his maker." The fact remains, however, that through all the ordeal attending his trial and conviction, young Beattie has sought in every way to spare his aged father. The elder Beattie is said still to believe In the innocence of his son. It is a question whether the con demned man does not consider that he owes it to his father, to whom he has brought so much pain and so much disgrace, to go to his death with sealed Hps. Beulah Binford. the 17-year-old girl for love of whom Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., is alleged to have kiheu his wife, is said to have appeared here today. Denial is made by the police that this is so but several persons are said to have recognized her on the street. It is reported the Beattie family are afraid the girl will make a scene at the simple i'uneral. Search for her Is be ing made. A report that Beulah Binford, the 17-vear-old girl for love of whom Henrv Clay Beattie, jr., is alleged to have "killed his wife, had arrived here today, caused a distinct sensation. The police at once denied the story, but made a close search for the girl and their vigilance did not relax until word came from New York that the girl was still there and would make no attemept to come to Richmond. ALL ARE RESCUED Passengers Are Taken Oft! the Strand ed Steamer Prlnz Joachim. New York, Nov. 23. All the pas- sengersof the steamship FrinzJoachim ashore on Atwood Key, a remote island of the Bahamas, have been taken aboard the Ward line steamer Segur anca and are now on their way to Nas sau. This news reached the Ward line office here today in a wireless message from the Seguranca which had apparently been relayed by the steamer Vlgilancia now at Nassau. The message read: "Seguranca has all passengers from the Joachim. Bring to Nassau. Will arrive Will keep you Informed." Apparently the time when the pas sengers are expected to reach Nassau had been lost from the message, but at the Ward line office it was said the Seguranca probably would reach Nas sau between 2 and 3 o'clock this afternoon. The steamer vlgilancia Is waiting at Nassau. Those of the passengers who desire to continue their voyage will proceed southward on the Vlgilancia while those who wisn to return to New York will be brought here on the Seguranca. The Prlnz Joachim is believed to be In no particular danger at this time as tne last reports indicated that the weather was fine and only the linger's forward compartment had filled with water. Bryan Sends Aeroarram. Lincoln. Nov. 23. Charles W. Bryan received another wireless mes sage from W. J. Bryan today. It was relayed by the Vlgilancia to Key West and read: "Safe. Ward line steamer Segur anca will reach Cuba via Nassau. (Signed.) "BRYAN." Sighted at Nassau. Nassau, Nov. "3. The Ward line steamer Seguranca, bringing the 84 passengers and mail of the Prlnz Joachim has been sighted. WORKS IN SECTIONS Convention of Bankers Is Divided Into Four Parts. New Orleans. Nov. 23. Four different sections of the American Bankers' asso ciation had their meetings today and elected officers. The general convention was adjourned to permit these meet ings. The trust company section meeting was In charge of President Oliver Ful-i n r; I ler of Milwaukee. Officers of this sec tion, in presenting reports discussed banking conditions in their respective states. The feature of the meeting of the savings bank section was a symposium on savings bank auditing. This was conducted by A. B. Chapin of Boston The feature of the meeting of the I state secretaries section was an ad dress by Mrs. Helen M. Brown, secretary of the Michigan Bankers' association Mrs. Brown is the only woman dele gate iu the convention. W. J. Burns, the detective, told about the system of bank protection as prac ticed toiay. E. B. Faucher, of Cleve land, conducted the meeting of the clearing house section.

Strain's Story. George W. Strain told the Jury of events at Mrs. Patterson's bungalow on the Saturday night preceding the shooting. He had been in the habit of visiting at Mrs. Patterson's home, I he said, and admitted he went armed I upon this occasion, because Mrs. Pat I terson had warned him of her hus band's violent temper. Patterson and a friend appeared at the house un expectedly, he said, and Mrs. Patter son hurriedly went Into the house. Patterson ordered him from the prem ises In a threatening manner, the wit ness said, and he drew a gun and marched Patterson and his friend off at the point of the revolver. Strain told how Mrs. Patterson ran after her husband and they went away together and how, after her return, she upbraided him for jeopardizing the chances of success In her divorce ac tion. As he was leaving. Strain said Mrs. Patterson asked him to leave his revolver, which he did. He identified the weapon with which Patterson was killed as the one he had left with Mrs. Patterson. Witnesses were Introduced to show that Mrs. Patterson had called her husband on the telephone at the sanitarium on the morning that the killing took place and that he had waited at a spot near where the shoot ing took place; that when Patterson saw her he started to run away and that later they walked off together. Physicians who conducted the au topsy on Patterson's body testified that he had been shot twice in the back, one bullet entering just under the right shoulder blade and passing through his shoulder and the other en tering just under his left shoulder blade and passing through his heart. The second wound caused his death, they said. First Said Patterson Did It. Dr. Stephen D. Parsons was placed on the stand as the next witness. His testimony concerned itself with a newspaper clipping which he said he found near Patterson's body after the shooting, and which he stated he turn ed over to Police Sergeant Mclntyre. The latter, who followed Dr. Parsons in the witness chair, confirmed the doctor's statement, but he was pre sented to the defense for cross exam ination without the clipping's being read to the jury. The item is said to relate to the alienation suit which it Is said Pat terson purposed filing against a Chi cago millionaire. The sergeant testi fied that when he first asked Mrs. Patterson who did the shooting, she declared that Patterson did it. Later when he asked her how many shots she fired she replied that she did not know. Prosecution Is Hampered. A decided reversal of attitude on the part of one of the witnesses and the absence of, two others seriously ham pered the prosecution today in the Patterson murder case. Louis Schramm, a gardener em ployed at the Hendrie home, before which the shooting occurred, and by whom the stae expected to show a conversation between Mrs. fanerson and her husband just before the shots were fired, is in Chicago out of the iurisdiction of the court, it was said. and Norah Brown, a maid In the Hen drie home at the time of the snoot ing, and who, the state expected, would tell of Mrs. Patterson's state ment after she had shot Patterson, has M nA hv the sheriff den 5 t .it uties. The absence or tnese two wit nesses, it was apparent, seriously dis arranged the plans of Special Prose cutor Benson, who asked for a recess when these witnesses failed to respond to their names, shortly before the usual time for the noon recess. JURY HAS CASE (Continued from Page One.) The passing of the jury from the room did not diminish the crowd In the court room to any great extent. There is a feeling here that a verdict will be reached quickly, and the "regulars' do not want to miss it. Girl Uses Clark's Pencil. While Mr. Hawkes was speaking a bailiff brought a telegram Into the room for Mary Chamberlain. She had no pencil to sign the receipt and the bailiff, seeing Sherrill Clark holding a pencil in his hand borrowed it. Mary moved over within a few feet of Clark and signed the blank. Then she hand ed the pencil back to the bailiff and he passed it to Clark, but no thanks was tendered Clark by the girl. The jury and many of the spectators caught the incident and they observed it closely. Olark appeared somewhat flustrated by it and when the pencil was returned to him he gave close at tention to sharpening It carefully and at length. No attempt was made by any of the attorneys for the defense in their ad dresses to defend the crime. Every effort was directed toward proving i that the accused men had no hand In the planning or carrying out of the assault. Men Planned the Deed. Attorney Hawkes' address was a general summing up of the case and a strong defense of the story of Chester Anderson. "The motive in this case, according to the defense," said Attorney Hawkes. "was to get Mary Chamberlain out of Shady Bend. Does It stand to reason that the boys of Beverly had any in terest in getting her out of there? No. It was these men who desired to rid the town of her. "There is an old adage that it takes old men for counsel and young men for war- Compare the ages of these hnvs and these men. The Jury was instructed last night. so they were ready to begin delibera tions when the arguments closed. Both sides are confident of a speedy and favorable verdict. No one connected with the state Is more certain that there will be convictions than is Mary Chamberlain herself. She has studied the jury closely. Jury Pleases Girl. "They are thinkers," she said, after noting the manner in which they fol lowed the addresses of counsel for both sides, "and certainly thinking, right minded men can return but one verdict guilty. I am confident that these men were as much concerned as the ones who attacked me. They will be punished." But the defendants are fully as cer tain they will be released. Following the close of Attorney McCurdy's ad dress last night, A. N. Slmms. one of the defendants embraced the attorney and expressed a favorable opinion of the outlook. What Sentence for Leaders? Now that the cases of the three de fendants, Sherrill Clark, A. N. Slmms and John Schmidt, are virtually end ed, speculation Is rife regarding what sentences will be passed on Everett G. Clark, Jay PItzwater and Watson Scranton. who pleaded guilty to as- !?u" n? battery In connection with l"e lt" r'"s on iovemoer id. cen tence was deferred on them until after f.to.ii. .I hi i. j. ilia i i in v.i i n i- ends here Monday, so the men must be sentenced before that time. The general opinion is that worse punish ment than fines will be Inflicted upon them. All the convicted men are taking a philosophical .view of. the situation. They talk cheerfully and occasionally Joke about It. While passing the jail last night, a friend remarked to Ever ett Clark: Clarke Jokes of Jail. "Well, how does the building look?" "Oh, not so bad," he replied. "I have not looked it over, but I suppose they may fix it up a little later on." Among most of the accused men good feeling prevails, although some of them have been forced to testify against one another. On the jury's verdict in the case of the first three men to be tried on charge of com plicity in the "tar party" is expected to hinge the fate of the defendants in a case probably the most sensational ever tried In Kansas'. History of the Case. The victim was Miss Mary Chamber lain, a Beverly, Kan., school teacher, aged 26 years, who worked in a Shady Bend, Kan., general store during the summer months. She was attacked on August 7. Edward Rlcord, a Beverly barber, who decoyed Miss Chamberlain to the scene of the tarring was the first man arrested. He was sentenced from a Justice court to twelve months in Jail, and appealed the case. On November 15 he pleaded guilty before Circuit Judge Dallas Glover. Sentence was deferred. Everett G. Clark, president of a Shady Bend Milling company and wealth, accused of being the leader of the party; Jay Fitzwater, a. miller of Shady Bend, and Watson Scranton, one of Clark's employees, pleaded guilty to assault before Judge Glover on .November 16. Sentence, which may I amount to $500 fine and one year in jail, was postponed. Immediately following the pleas of guilty Sherrill Clark, a brother of the alleged ring leader; A. N. Slmms, for merly an employee In the Clark mill, and John Schmidt, a farmer of near Shady Bend, were placed on trial be fore Judge Grover. Awaiting trial on appeal from a Jus tice court sentence of ninety days are Chester Anderson and Delbert Kindel sparger, laborers, of Beverly. Harry Armstrong, Fenton Hall, Alfa Lindermuth, Benjamin Painter and Roscoe Anderson, laborers, of Beverly, saw the "tarring" from behind a hedge, and were fined $1 each In order that they might be used as witnesses in the case. He Blames the Boys. Attorney McCurdy centered his at tack on the testimony of Chester Anderson, the state's chief witness, who testified that he was approached by Simms and Clark regarding par ticipating in the assault. Anderson, alleged the attorney, was seeking by his testimony to shift the blame on the defendants and thus put his case, which will come up later In the cir cuit court on appeal, in a better light. General denial that It was the inten tion of the defendants to aid In the "tarring" was .also made by the speaker. Every move of the men on the night of the arsault indicated they were not unduly interested, he said. Even after the crowd that committed the crime had left the mill, he continued, the defend ants loitered around Shady Bend and did not rush to the scene, as they would have dene had they wanted to be active participates. The speaker also paid his respects to the newspapers by ac cusing tnem of injuring the community by carrying stories regarding the crime. Calls Newspaper Reports "Crazy." "You must not be led by the crazy report of newspapers which know nothing about the case." he said. Attorney Milliken followed Attorney McCurdy. He charged that James Booze was arrested in the hope that he might refuse to testify in this case for which the defence hid summoned him. and thus deprive the defendants of the assistance of h s story. The state, he said, had "grasped at straws" in getting testimony for the case. At the close of this address, court was adjourned until today. The Court's Instructions. Attorneys for the defense regard the Judge's instructions as highly favor able to" their clients. Prosecutor Mc Canles says he is satisfied with them, however. The instructions were that the defendants might be found guilty of aiding and abetting in the crime even though they were not present. If it could be proven, they said, that the attack was a direct result of counsel or advice given by the defendants, then they should be found guilty. But. fur ther, the mere fact that the defendants had talked with the assailants of Miss '"hnmberlain regarding the contempla ted assault, was not, In itself, sufficient ground upon which to base a conviction. This, however, might be taken into con sideration in making up the verdict, the court instructed. The fact that the men were seen walking toward the "tarring" was ordered considered likewise. Miss Chamberlain occupied a seat rear the Jury box where she had a full view of all the jurors. Her mother was with her. The three defendants. A. N. Simms, Sherrill Clark and John Schmidt also switched their chairs about so they faced the jury. Simms' wife sat by his side. Innocent Because Bareheaded. Ritchie followed the lead set by his colleague. Attorney McCurdy, last night by making a bitter attack on the "dirty dozen" of Beverly in gen eral and Chester Anderson in particu lar. "It was with this crowd that the plan had its Inception," he said. "These defendants did not originate it or take any part in the execution of it." Regarding the meeting at the mill, the speaker said that could not be taken as proof that the defendants in tended to partici plate in the assault. It was .pointed out that Schmidt and Simms were without their hats and returned to their home to get them before they started to the "party." Had they planned to join the band, in sisted the attorney, they would have worn their hats. Guarantee No Tarring In Texas. Miss Chamberlain's message came from Corrigan, Texas, and invited her to come there and make her future home. It was signed by F. M. Wagner, A. L. Cornell and several other citizens. Sympathy and respect was also tendered her. She was assured that Texas would WHEATUNSTEADY Prices Tary With the News From Producing Centers. Damage and Black Rust Re ported in the Argentine.

Except for the Southern Railway etocks in which farther advances were made the list was inclined to sag, al though losses wi e not large. The lower scale of prices In London exercised a de pressing effect at the opening and al though bear traders did not attempt ag gressive operations the demand was too limited to sustain the list. Prices generally hovered sllghtlv below yesterday's final figures and the pro nounced strength of the Southern group was without general effect. Heading and Lehigh Valley reflected a continuance or the recent pressure against them and there was little of interest in the move ment of the Copper stocks despite a fur ther advance in the price of metal. Trader reports stating that there had been an all around reduction of (1 a ton in finished steel products since last week were without much effect on United States Steel, although It showed Intervals of heaviness In common with other stocks.

"The M'sso-irians are exceedingly cor dial and horpitable," said the manager this afternoon. "The townspeople are doing everything in their power to make the squad comfortable. They are even talking of chartering a special train and going to Columbia Saturday to yell for Kansas." Manager Hamilton was called back to Lawrence to attend to business con rectcd with the game Saturday. He is being literally flooded with inquiries concerning the errangements for the big game. It is now definitely settled that at least one special train will leave Lawrence for Columbia and several special sleepers on another train. Special Coaches for Rooters. Several coaches have been chartered by a number of the young married peo ple in Lawrence. They will be attach ed to the evening Union Pacific train which leaves Lawrence in the evening.

U. to be benched during the Tiger game? Is Daniels, who is playing such an aggressive game, to replace Capt. Ammons at full? Football experts who have followed the arratic career of the Jayhawkers through an almost disastrous season, hold to the opinion that winning the Mis souri game depends entirely upon keep ing Delaney out of the scrimmage. Old grads will Journey to Moberly where the team is training this week to remonstrate against allowing De laney to jeopardize the chances of Kan sas and to plead with Sherwin to allow Heil to punt and replace Magill or Price at end. Mosse. who has witnessed the un satisfactory defense of Delaney at the end position against both Nebraska and Oklahoma will make a special trip tol PVpnin? and the time in Kansas City will be spent -aoing" tne piay nouses.

Sherwin, it is understood, is not satis fied with Delaney's work in the line but is retaining him as part of the Jayhawker machine because he regards his kicking as an essent'al factor in Kansas offense. Mosse will endeaver to convince Sherwin that Heil can boot almost equally well and there is no question at all regarding the superior ity of Price or Magill in the line.

Fairmount vs. Southwestern at Wich ita. Aggies vs. Ok. A. M. at Manhat tan. This is a liglit week in Kansas foot ball because the Kansas conference still countenances Thanksgiving day games and most of the teams are rest ing over this week in order to be in good condition on Turkey day. It has been well established that the teem which played the Saturday before Thanksgiving did not play up to form the following Thursaay. Most of the teams used to do it because of the shortness of the schedules, but they now prefer to cancel one of the big games. Little hard practice can be indulged Monday or even Tuesday after a Sat urday game and if the team is to play Thursday, hard work can not be done Wednesday on account of the likelihood of injuries. Fairmount and the Aegies, however, ire scheduled for Friday and Thanks giving, Fairmount playing Southwestern and the Aggies, the Ohianoma f armers tomorr w. These are n.'l evpect-rt to beh ard games and will not cripple the learns. Fairmount has lost to no one this season except the Aggies and are not expected to be bothered by the light Winfleld te.im which barely edged a 6 to 5 victory over Guigley's Ti ish. Fair mount plays Ottawa next Thursday. The Oklah- ma A. M. is an un known quantity in these fields but is not supposed to be in a class with the Farmers of the Sunflower state. It is not unlikely, however, that they will succeed in bruising the Kansans up enough to materially assist Washburn on Thanksgiving day. Washburn Practices Dally. The local collegians continue to snooze under the blanket of oblivion this week but are taking their daily practice and trying to remember their previous ex perience for use on Turkey afternoon. They have plenty of confidence and If ihe Aggies get battered up enough to morrow, the Blue will have them on the hip. Oomhuskers Played Michigan. History discloses that the Cornhusk ers played Michigan back in 1905 and failed to win. They did, however, hold the Yost Wolverines to no score in the first half. In the second division Michi gan ran up 3C and Nebraska continued not to score. The Cornhuskers hope this season to replay that first half and add another like it for the second. 15-round bout before the Southwest Athletic club. Clarke was the aggres sor in every round. Johnson demon strated his ability to assimilate punish ment when Clarke's repeated swings to the face and body sent him staggering. WOULD NOT HEAR DOLLEY COACH YOST STOPS TRAINING. that Coach Hammctt Fears Weaken Saturday. Chicago. Nov. 23. Fearing imke, the Northwestern university I'otball star, mav not be able to play through the entire game against Iowa -ext Saturday, Coach Hammett nas lecided to train Whiting, wno piayea left halfback at Urbana last Saturday, for Lamke's position at right half. Whiting made a good showing against Illinois when he went in after Captain Reese withdrew from the game. The under classmen were prepared to use Iowa formations against tne regulars and it was hoped in this way to better prepare for the Iowa players. Fears of Injuries Causes Him to Order Light Practice. Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 23. The Michi gan football eleven completed its season's work on Ferry field Wednesday after a double practice season which began early 1n the afternoon. The squad left today for Lincoln. Neb., for the game with' Ne braska Saturday, the last contest Michi gan plays this season. Fearing Nebraska and at the same time fearing new Michigan cripples. Tost did not sanction a fierce scrimmage today TO STOP PLAYER BROKERAGE. Tom Chivington Sees Reform In Or ganized Baseball. Chicago, Nov. 23. President Tom Chivington of the American associa tion has returned to Chicago from the San Antonio meeting of the National Assoc!ation of Professional Baseball leagues with the prophecy that there is to be a reform in the sport. The "player brokerage" system, termed by Chivington the greatest evil In baseball, is to be done away with. He says the magnates in both the ma jor and minor leagues are ready to place a limit on the number of players each club can hold under contract, both during the winter and playing seasons, and also to restrict the num ber of recruits each club may con tract for through draft and purchase. The pressing need for such a reform has impressed itself on the magnates during the last five years, according to Chivington, until now they are ready to consider such limitations, sucn con ditions were proposed several years aero bv President B. B. Johnson of the American league, but were cried down as being too radical. BOSTON TEAM FOR SALE. Death of Russell Will Put Doves on Market Again. New York, Nov. 23. The death of William Hepburn Russell, chief owner of the Boston National league base ball club, will probably throw the Doves on the market once more, where they have been off and on for two years. Just what disposition was made of the stock will not be known until Mr. r.ussell's will is offered for pro bate, but friends declare that the heirs will not care to assume the worries of handling the team, more particularly as it has not been strikingly success ful as an investment for two or three seasons. Mr. Russell bought the Boston Na tionals just before the season opened last spring, in conjunction with Fred Tenney, who held a minority interest and who acted as manager. The team started off fairly well, but soon struck a bad streak and lost game after game, finally winding up a bad last i tii a rapp for the nennant. t Mr. Russell made an effort to sell his interest in the team toward the close of the season, but the deal fell through. COACH SAYS "DROP WISCONSEV." Rule Prohibiting the Playing of Sum mer Baseball Attacked. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 23. An at tack on the rule of the conference which prohibits the playing of sum mer baseball and an argument that Minnesota stay in the conference but attempt to get Michigan to return, was the sentiment of the speech of Dr. H. L. Williams, coach of the Univer sity of Minnesota's football team at the mass meeting or stuaents nere toaay The Bank Suijervlsors Also Tabled His Resolution. New Orleans, Nov. 23. No indorse ment of the so called Aldrich plan for revision of the country's monetary sys tem was given by the National Associa tion of Supervisors of State Banks be fore their fourth annual convention of the association was adjourned. Con siderable discussion of the plan follow ed the introduction of a resolution by J. N. Dolley, Kansas commissioner of banking, providing for the election by he association of a eoi-imittee of seven members tc have been instructed to consult with the national monetary commission about tti3 proposed plan. Only Mr. Dolley, an hour later, voted against tabling this resolution. It was succeeded by another stating that the association under its constitution, was without power to name a committee such as suggested by Mr. Dolley. No effort was made to secure adoption of an indorsement of the Aldrich revised plan, though discussion developed that Mr. Dolley did not stand alone in his objection to it. Mr. Dolley wants congress to delay action until 1912. He tried to reply to wht he regarded as "unseemly and illadvised criticism" of those who do not indjrse the plan in its present form, but was ruled out of oider. Air. Dolley was plainly disappointed at the refusal of the convention to In dorse his committee plan and said he would personally address the 21,00(1 state banks of the United States and set them right cn what is contained in the Aldrich plan. It was when he digressed to say that a "powerful organization' is at work to secure the enactment by congress of the proposer! reform and warned the association that this, power would be felt after the passage of the bill, that he was called to order. A half dozen delegates were on their feet instantly to ask an explanation of Mr. Dolley's remarks He denied that he meant to convey the ld?a thut money la being spent in a questionable way to effect the passage of the bill. J. L. Mohundro. of Seattle. Wash., was elected president of the associa tion, and F. K. Roberts, of Des Moines, secretary-treasurer. D. M. Scammon, of New Hampshire. K. Royse of Omaha, Neb., and W. L. Young. Baton Rouge, La,, were elected vice presidents. F. E. Baxter, state superintendent of banks of Ohio, was chosen chairman of the executive committee.

Dr. Williams declared that the sum mer baseball rule was making many perjurers, and that if strictly obeyed, many of the universities could have no football teams.

Paul Block, manager. FXXL LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOC! A 1 t-D PRX.sa. The 8tate Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur-pose- Josef Smejkal, the latest European wrestler to arrive on these shores, Is surely evenly matched with Zbysko, as far as names are concerned. Young Beattie, the erstwhile smiling bravado, is on his knees in prayer as the day of his electrocution ap proaches. They all come to it. Ramon Caceres, who was assassin ated recently, must have been an un usual man. He was president of Santo Domingo for more than four years. New Tork city professes to be the mecea of civilization on this conti nent. And yet, the demand for cab bage there is considerably larger than the supply. Mayor Billard hasn't weakened his candidacy for the Democratic guber natorial nomination by his refusal to accept aid, financial or otherwise, from the Missouri breweries and other out side liquor interests. Secretary of the Navy Meyer is probably as popular in the department as any man who ever held the job. He thinks the clerks" salaries ought to be raised, and that pensions should be provided for them as well. Once a gentleman, always a gentle man. A larger proportion of the banker's colony at the federal peni tentiary at Leavenworth have good behavior records,, than is to be found among any other class of convicts. And the south is also taking time by the forelock in making the necessary preparations for a larger and more prosperous future. It is far and away ahead of the rest of the country In the matter of building good roads. Presumably the men around Shady Bend, who were mixed up in the das tardly assault on Miss Chamberlain, are among those more-righteous-than-thou Kansans who have held up their hands in holy horror at the lynching of negroes in the south. Isn't it queer what the men with a bug for statistics will investigate? Announcement comes that one of them has discovered that women buy 32 per cent of all the shirts and 54 per cent of all the underwear worn by men. Of what particular value are these statistics? Indications are not lacking, that there will be plenty of exciting con tests in the Shawnee county political arena next year. This is only more evi dence that the terms of county officers Should be extended to four years, and that they should not be eligible for of fice again at least until one term in tervenes. Although the delegates to the American Bankers' association's con vention are almost unanimous in fa vor of the Aldrich plan for the re vision of the banking and currency laws. Bank Commissioner Dolley of Kansas is opposed to it. One way to keep in the limelight is to oppose a popular measure. Governor Johnson of California has come out squarely for LaFollette. The man in high political station, or any other station for that matter, who has the courage of his convictions gets the admiration of even those who do not agree with him. Kansas doesn't seem to be overburdened these days with politicians of this stamp. Canadians are crying over spilled milk. They are sorry now, says Editor MacDonald of the Toronto Globe, that they voted down reciprocity. The an nexation bugaboo was to blame for it all. And Champ Clark, who worked like a Trojan for the adoption of the reciprocity pact by congress, gave life to this bugaboo in an idle moment. As time rolls on it will develop that the Cnited States can get along much bet ter without reciprocity than can Can ada. If a special session of the legisla ture is called and Governor Stubbs has his way, it is likely that impeachment proceedings will be brought against Judge Sapp of Cherokee county. This ought to relieve the legislative mo notony a trifle. Impeachment pro ceedings are t common. And per haps Governor Stubbs thinks his ad ministration will not be properly rounded out unless every possible governmental procedure has been put la motion during its existence. CIIAPTKR XXIX. I (Concerning Passes.) I When Beatrice Harraden wrote "Ships That Pass in the Night," it is not understood she had in mind the representatives of the ships of state who pasa not only in the night, not only on intra-state journeys, but also on inter-state journeys. The book was written when passes were a symbol of aristocrasy, the holder of which was not then, as now, under suspicion unless he be a rail road man, or one of the excepted classes. Of course these minions of the law are supposed to "pass" or be passed only upon official business. The Interstate Commerce Law says that passes shall not be granted or used except to certain privileged per sons, who are, in the main, railroad employees. The law under which the Kansas utilities commission is organized, and passed by the last legislature, says: "Any member of said board while acting in the performance of his ofn eial duties, together with such attor ney for the board, secretary, stenog raphers, accountant, expert or other agent whose services said board may deem to be important in the discharge of their duties, shall have the right of passing at all times over all the roads and on all railroad trains or any part thereof in this state free of charge." Statutes of 1905, chapter 340. This law is rather specific in grant ing free transportation to the mem bers of the Board, their secretary and assistants "in this state free of charge." But what about this free transporta tion on an inter-state journey? Have the members of the Board, their secre tary, or assistants any right to use this free transportation, excepting to cover a journey entirely within the state? If they have not the right, why do they violate the law? Why can they violate a law with impunity, when the ordinary- citizen is not permitted to do so? Last week when the Transmississip pi congress met in Kansas City, Mo., at least two individuals who are con nected with this utilities commission used their passes so far as the Kansas state line. Then they hurriedly left the train and completed their inter state journey over another line. Is it right for these people to do this sort of thing? They are certain ly violating the spirit of the law and the State Journal believes they are violating the law itself. The members of this Commission above referred to left Topeka for the sole purpose, it is believed, of going to Kansas City, Missouri. They had no journey wholly within the state in contemplation. When they reached the last station on the railroad with in Kansas, they were somewhat con cerned. It is understood, as to whether they would have time to wait for the next train and get to the meeting in the convention hall in Kansas City, Missouri, in season for the opening ex ercises. Will Governor Stubbs take cogni zance If these questionable transac tions on the part of members of his administration William Allen White says: (Sea Chapter XXVIII, November 22.) "The governor sees the right so plainly, abhors the wrong in ques tionso violently, that he cannot see how men may take another view and maintain intellectual and moral in tegrity." (Chapter XXX tomorrow.) "XOI A THING TO WEAR!" Few college girls of today have best clothes. No, nothing is wrong with the crops. Bank accounts are doing very well, too, thank you. And girls wear prettier things now than ever, but ful ly one-half of the girls in any large college make little distinction In their dress for class rooms and for Sunday or dress-up occasions, says a girl who is a student in the Kansas State Agri cultural college, according to the Kan sas Industrialist. Too many girls, these days, lack a saving sense of the eternal fitness of things. Silk dresses, elaborate blouses made with low neck and short sleeves, picture hats with sweeping willow plumes, and velvet shoes are as out of place in the class room as in the kitch en. But some girls wear them, and their classmates with smaller means suffer envious heartburnings or wear cheap imitations of finery. Where cheap finery begins, neatness stops. Too often the velvet shoes are run down at the heels, the silk waists are soiled and spotted, and the lace ruffles are torn in several places. But the girl who wears them doesn't care. She has permitted her standards of dress to become as cheap and drag gled as her finery. No woman is really educated until she has learned the secret of good dressing. Simplicity of cut and trim ming, quiet, harmonizing colors, and absolute neatness in all details are the marks of dress by which real gentle women are known. The college where girls do not learn these things has fail ed in one purpose. CRIME'S BIG INCREASE. In the course of an argument before the American Prison association to the effect that the startling increase of crime in these United States is due to the facility with which criminals go unpunished. Judge C. A. De Courcy, of the superior court of Massachusetts presented some statistics that are little less than alarming. They show as ..e quoted President Taft as having so pointedly said that "the administration of criminal law in this country is a disgrace to civilization." During the year 1910 the homicides here increased nearly 900 over the ore vious year, reaching the staggering to tal of .975, and yet but one in 86 of this large number were capitally pun ished. For each million of the poou latipn of this country there were lis homicides, while In Italy there were less than 15; in Canada less than 13, in Great Britain less than 9; in Ger many less than 5. Surely these are some comparisons to ponder over. A sympathetic and a sensitive hu manity revolts at capital punishment The tendency In the several states of late years has been to break away from it. The thought of a possibly innocent man going to the gallows or the elec tric chair is the real reason,-in addi tion to the inhumanity of the prac tice. But it is also true that in sev eral states where the severest penalty for murder is life imprisonment, it is not unusual for persons who have been convicted of murder, and who have been guilty of the crime beyond any doubt, to get a parole or a pardon af ter a lapse of a few years. This is particularly true of youthful murder ers. Time softens the memory of their outrages. A kind-hearted governor must be adamant to withstand the pleas of parents, relatives and even society in general, that such a prisoner be given another chance. The instances are rare where such a pardoned mur derer commits the same kind of a crlnvi or any other .Time again. That's not the objection to pardons in such cases. It is that they may give encourage ment to the murderously inclined thai there is always a chance where .suh conditions prevail of eventual free dom long before death is at hand. It Is a difficult,' a hard, an almost cruel question to have to deciue as to wheth er the fit punishment for absolutely proven murder is life imprisonment or death. As Judge De Courcy says, though, the controlling reason for the terrible in crease in crime in this land is that so many criminals go unpunished entire ly. Every man charged with a crime is entitled to ample protection from the law. But so many safeguards for criminals have been permitted to creep into the statutes and the practice of odministering the criminal law, that one of the most difficult of tasks now adays is to obtain the conviction 01 any man no matter what the crime may l. which he is accused or hoiv irrefutable may be the evidence against him. "The defense of insanity, the limitation of the power of judges and the character of the testimony allow ed to be introduced in behalf of the defendant are some of the evils," well said Judge De Courcy, "which ought to be rectified." And isn't it about time that the legislatures and bar associa tions for lawyers take an oath on their admission to the bar that they will assist in the honest administra tion of all the laws were giving these matters the attention they deserve. POST-SCRIPT MORE BLACK HAND Mrs. Bliss Ordered to J lave Matlicny Vacate. The fourth letter in the Black Hand mystery in which Whit Matheny, the Topeka avenue cleaner, has figured, came this morning to Mrs. Mary L. Bliss, of 1.003 Topeka avenue, owner of the Bliss Hats and the property in which Matheny's shop is housed. In this letter Mrs. Bliss ia advised to order Matheny to vacate. Not tintil after two letters had been sent to Matheny ordering him to move, and a third letter to Fred Snow, or dering him to disconnect Matheny's telephone, dau Mrs. Bliss come into the limelight as a party to some mysterious procedure Her letter has betn turned over to the police, but Mrs. Bliss de nies that she feels the least worry in the matter or believes that harm will come to either herself of tenants. As Mrs. Bliss opened the morning mail today, she discovered a plain white envelope the same as went to Matheny and Snow. Not until she had read and reread the contents of the. note did she begin to realize that she had suddenly become a party to the trouble that sur rounds the humble clothes cleaner and his family on East Fifth street. "You Better Fire Your Renter, 1001 Topeka avenue." the note told Mrs. Bliss. Then she called the police station and turned the communication over to a plain clothes man. Until the arrival of the Bliss letter, police officers had been inclined to look upon the Matheny affair as a practical joke. Now there is a different aspect to the case. They admit that there must be some real trouble behind the movement that prompted the sending of the four letters. Most of the offi cers are of the opinion that the motive behind the letters is the jealousy of some competitor, but they admit that they have little information on which to work.

For a long time he sent out monthly "duns" urg ing prompt settlement, but little if any attention we a paid to them.

THE EVENING STORY Cornelia's Customer. (By Harriet Lummls Smith.) "It really isn't anything to get ex cited about, Aunt Nancy," Cornelia said soothingly. Cornelia herself was not at all ex cited. Her serenity was in most agree able contrast to Aunt Nancy's flutter ing perturbation. To be sure, it was Aunt Nancy's silver closet to which Cornelia had lost the key. "If it falls into the hands of a dis honest person," observed Aunt Nancy, on the point of tears, "then goodby to the silver, including the loving cup from which Gen. Washington drank and the tablespoon on which your Great-grandfather Bennett cut his teeth." "Dear Aunt Nancy," Cornelia rea soned kindly, "unless the dishonest person were a mind reader, too, he could not possibly know that this par ticular key fitted your silver closet." She was about to continue her argu ment along this line when Aunt Nan cy executed one of her illogical flops. "It will be necessary to cancel our invitations for Friday," remarked Aunt Nancy. "With the silver locked up and only half a dozen spoons and three forks available it is out of the question to entertain a dinner party." Cornelia looked at her watch. "I will get a locksmith at once," she re plied. "The key will be ready by to night, and Mary can clean the silver in the morning." She went to put on her street things, wondering that Aunt Nancy could not see how much better it was to be calm and philosophical in case of some trifling annoyance like losing the key of the silver closet. Cornelia is an observant young wo man. AVeeks before, when nothing was further from her expectation than the need of such services, she had noticed the sign "Locksmith" In a window of a little hardware store near where she w-as waiting to take the car. In the direction of this hardware store she now bent her steps. A bell clanged loudly as she opened the door, and a wizened, elderly person swooped out from a back room anH asked what she wanted. Cornelia explained. "I should like to have you see to the matter at once, if you please," she said, "for my aunt is in a great hurry for the key." "Can't do a thing before Saturday," snapped the locksmith, seemingly of fended because she had not wished to purchase a range for the kitchen. "But you must, you know," Cornelia answered him kindly. "I must have the key tonight. My aunt entertains at dinner tomorrow." "I won't have nobody to leave the store with before Saturday," persisted the locksmith obstinately. "Then my grandson'll be out of school, and, if he feels like it, he'll stay here while I get the impression of your lock. Them jobs is more trouble than they are worth." "Yes, but you see I can't wait for your grandson," Cornelia explained. "You will have to go at once. I will stay and take care of the things until you are back." She seated herself on a stool behind the counter as an evidence of good faith. "Anybody in charge of this here store has got to be on to the job," the owner explained. "Only last week a rake was stolen out front while I was waiting on a customer. There's an ice cream freezer by the steps now that's worth three-fifty. If somebody was to come along and snatch that 'Nobody will snatch anything while I'm here," said Cornelia. "The address is on this card, and please say to tne servant that you are the locksmith it or.-. CV,.. fnlAtiA her arms and gave her attention to a shelf of cooking utensils several feet above the locksmith's head. That in dividual, after several half-hearted at tempts to distract her attention, put on his coat and departed on his errand. The echo of his footsteps had hardly died away when the customer ap peared. At first view, Cornelia had no thought that he was a customer, for he seemed to be strolling along in a somewhat aimless fashion. "Good morning." said Cornelia ris ing. "Can I do anything for you to day?" Then with sudden dismay she realized that out of the stock in the hardware store, she knew the price of but one article. It happens, however, that Cornelia is a young woman of re sources. "Perhaps I can interest you in ice cream freezers," she said with her most businesslike air. Oddly enough, this was exactly what the young man' was looking for. "O, yes," he exclaimed, with seeming re lief, "I should like to look at some thing first class." Cornelia led the way to the door. "This is our best freezer." she said. Indicating by a gesture the article In question. "If you'll just set it aside, please it's quite heavy." "It's a trifle large for the average family, isn't it?" asked the young man. Cornelia took alarm. She would have had no objection to selling a smaller, freezer had she known the price of the others in stock. "I shouldn't advise you to get a smaller size," she said firmly. "It is much better to have a freezer large enough to meet an emergency. Your wife might wish to entertain several at luncheon, you know. And there is nothing to prevent making a small amount of cream in a large freezer." The young man was impressed. "That's a good idea," he exclaimed. "Perhaps a still larger one would be even better, in case we wanted to give a regular party." It was necessary to head him off again. "No," said Cornelia with de cision. "If you give a party you will need a caterer. A freezer larger than this would be in your way." "That's riirht." agreed the customer, who for tractabillty left nothing to be desired. "I'll, take It; what's' the price?" Cornelia had no idea that business success was so simple a matter. It oc curred to her that the ability of the men who had made fortunes had been greatly overestimated. Then a sudden startling thought broke in on her self- eongfatulation. In her efforts to en snare her customer, she had forgotten the. price the locksmith had made. "Thr-four and a half," she said uncer tainly. The customer made no protest. He drew a five dollar bill from his pocket and Cornelia made change from her own little purse. "Now, I'll have this sent, please," he was beginning. "Oh!"- Cornelia looked at him In blank dismay. "I'm afraid I can't send it. Not before Saturday, anyway," she added, remembering the grandson. "I suppose, t would be too heavy for you to carry, wouldn't it?" There was appeal in the gaze she lifted to his. She could not bear the thought of losing a sale for so trifling a reason. Luckily the customer was still accommodating. He protested hastily that the freezer was not at all heavy, and looked about him with the air of a man about to make purchases with a view to settling up housekeep ing. Cornelia felt It was time to as sume a distant manner and she did so with Immediate effect. The cus tomer left the store, carrying his single purchase In his hand. When the locksmith returned grum bling, Cornelia announced her sale, and he looked at her with reluctant admiration. "You done him out of a dollar," he observed. "That freezer wasn t worth but $3.50." His sudden accession of respect for Cornelia re ceived an Immediate check from the dismay with which she received the news. "Don't you think he will come back?" she asked anxiously. "He was such a polite young man. I can't bear to think I've cheated him out of a dollar." The locksmith grudgingly assented that the customer's return was pos sible. He added darkly. Twould have been a different thing if you'd sold it a dollar under price. We'd never see hide or hair of him again." The customer did return within a few days. He came In looking about him in the same undecided manner which had characterized him on his previous visit, and yet he did not look to be a young man lacking in deter mination. After he had purchased a screwdriver and a pound of nails he came to the point. "The young lady who waited on me before, your daughter, perhaps "She ain't no daughter of mine," said the locksmith. "Nor yet a clerk. She was asking about you this very day." he added calmly. The young man spun about. "What!" he shouted. "She lives with her aunt at the Rutherford apartments. She wanted a key made for a lock, and she, stayed in the store while I went to get the impression. She overcharged you a dollar for that freezer," explained the locksmith, reluctantly, opening his cash drawer, "and she asked if you had been back to complain." It seemed that the young man did not care about the dollar. "See here." the locksmith said. "The young woman came down this morn ing to bring the key. It stueii a little, you know. I've filed it off and It's ready to take back, if you'd like the job. I promised her I'd send my grand son when he came from school." The young man thought it would be a pity to trouble the grandson. He said, with feeling, that growing boys need all the playtime they could got. At the entrance of the Rutherford apartments he met Cornelia coming out. "Oh!" cried Cornelia, dropping her purse in her excitement. "Have you come about that dollar?" "I've come to bring your key," said the young man, and gave it to her. Explanations followed, and then came argument. Cornelia was not sure that selling an ice cream freezer to a stranger constituted an introduction. The young man. on the other hand, was positive about it. ;But your wife," Cornelia hinted, delicately. The young man blushed. "You in vented the wife and I held my tongue. I was afraid that If I explained that I was a bachelor you'd wonder, what I wanted with an ice cream freezer." "What did you want with it?" Cor nelia was indiscreet enough to ask. The young man's reply was not ver bal, but such as It was it was respon sible for a marked increase in his questioner's color. "Oh, well," said Cornelia, swinging the key on her forefinger, "it muy come in handy some time." It did. (Copyright. 1911, by Asso ciated Literary Press.) GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE.

The merchant of today realizes that th majority of advertising representatives of publications are earnest business men who are In close touch with conditions', and who study the needs of merchants In order to help them make a success of thlr business. To illustrate this point. I recite here an experience of one of my boys who re cently called on a specialty house and suggested to the head of that house the advisability of conducting n vigorous campaign to stimulate his Holiday trade. After the young man and the merchant had talked together for some time, ari.l after the merchant had explained that be w-as heartily In favor of advertising ao-1 appreciated the nerd of telling the pul.ll-! facts about his business, he took tbo young man Into his office and showed him his order book and the condition of the factory that supplied lilrn with the spe cialty article he sold. lie di.l riot try to sidetrack the young man he was very much In earnest about It and tried to convince him that he was telling hlin the truth about why he could not do any advertising between now and the holidays. As a matter of fact, his factory cannot, give him one-third of the merchandise lin actually needs for his normal Christmas trade, and he Isn't In a position to adver tise for more business because he could hot fill orders If he .,t th. in. Just by way of contrast to this experi ence, those of us who are older In the business can recall the time when 11 mer chant instead of bothering to give reason why he did not want to advertise, would simply dismiss us In 11 few curt words, and let It go at that.

Mr. Ripley can not speak above a -whisper, owing to a throat trouble. He said: "Due to the fact that there is no particular demand for bonds, the Santa Fe does not expect to do any great amount of work in California at present, al though part of the $10,0000,000 auth orized at the last meeting of the di rectors will be spent in this state. No particular plans have been made ex cept to continue the work of double tracking the road in the middle west. Xo radical changes of any kind and no unusual investments are contemplated." EXPRESS fX)MPAMES IIARD HIT Only a quarter circular foundation and white cement covered ground re mains ti is afternoon to mark the loca tion of the first roundhouse of the yre.ittst railway system ir the world Workmen beginning: Tuesday afternoon have completed the work of time and the walls of the first roundhouse on the Santa Fc "inve been leveled. This old roundhouse which has stood about 3u0 feet southeast of the pasen per station of the Santa Fe in Topeka. has been oi.e of the relics of the road. It is being removed that the space might be used for additional switching facilities in the yards. The old building was constructed in Topeka 41 years ago. After a new roundhouse was budt it was used for Ftoragc purposes. Then it was aban doned altogether and in the last years the front, the roof and part of tne side walls hive crumbled and fallen to the ground. It has taken only a day for workmen to level the walls and clear the site. Too Small for Vse. J Not long: ago one of the big freight locomotives of the Santa Fe was switched to one of the tracks near the old roundhouse. The engine stood on the west side of the building and from the ease side, the cab, the smokestack and the entire upper part of the boiler could be Eeen looming aoove the roof of the roundhouse. This was a good comparison of the size- of the iocomctives of today and of 40 years ago and the difference in the iinnnsions of the roundhouses at this time and then. Railroad men say that the old original structure would hardly aoiommcdaie a tender of the big en gines used r ow by the Santa Fe. Some of the engines are twice as long as the space allotted them in the old round house. They could not enter the doors the sides snd the top would touch.

It was reported Wednesday night on high authority that the conference which had lasted all day anions labor leaders of the Hock Island railroad system had resulted in an agree ment that it was the sense of the work men a strike should be called, but that action should lie deferred pending a Imal conference with the railroad officials.

Criticisms and remedial recommendations, ranging from mild to radical, were presented to the interstate commerce commis sion at the opening here of a series of hearings to be held throughout the country in investigation of the express business. The magnitude of this business was brought out by Attorney Frank Lyon, counsel for the commission, who said the combined express companies oper ate more than 270,000 miles of rail way and do business through 31.328 stations. He placed the cost of oper ating the express plants at J27.000.000 the operating net income at $10,000,- ooo, or a fraction over 38 per cent on plant valuation. Congressman David J. Lewis of Cumberland, Md.. one of the first wit nesses, declared that government own ership would ultimately prove to be the only logical solution of the express business. He had abandoned the idea, he said, that a parcels post would give the required relief. "Express rates are prohibitively high," he continued, "be ing sixteen times the freight rate J31.20 per ton for express and $1.90 for freight. Parcel post schemes, per se, impose a rate of 8 and 12 cents a pound. At 8 cents the cost would be $160 a ton, or five times the average express charge and eleven times the European parcels post. Above three pounds the express companies now give much lower rates than proposed by the parcels post, and below three pounds they give rates as good." Contending that there should be a more natural ratio of express to freight charges, Mr. Lewis declared there was a margin of profit made by the companies, he thought, on which the interstate commerce commission may operate to give relief to business interests without jeopardizing the in vestments and operations of the ex press business. To remedy some prevailing condi tions. Representative Lewis suggested, "Fast service is now provided by the railways. But the main need is an articulation of the country and sub urban points with the railways: which may be accomplished by rural deliv ery agency. Express railway contracts should be secured by the postal de partment to obtain low rail rates. Cheap capital and a public service mo tive, both of which the nation can certainlv provide, is necessary." William B. Jones. a commission merchant of Baltimore, said the Adams Express company had a mon opoly In that city and deliveries were so poor that commission men had to haul their own goods to protect them selves from loss.

Santa Fe Obtains Haskell County iJJnd for New Extension. Dodge City, Kan., Nov. 2 3. With the exception of right-of-way across the land of Steve Cave, all of the right for the new Santa Fe extension through Haskell county has been se cured. This will complete the securing of the right-of-way from Dodge City to the Grant county line. Santa Fe en gineers say the work of construction will soon start on the new line. The first construction work will be the division from Dodge City to Point of Rocks, ir. southwestern Morton county. When this is completed the branch line which is to run west from a point in Haskell county through Grant and Stanton counties, will be built. The junction point will be a new town to be started in southern Has kell, and to which it is expected the county seat town of Santa Fe will be moved. Although the new road has been chartered under the name of the Dodge City Cimarron Valley, the entire stock is owned by the Santa Fe. 35,994 shares being in the name of E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe and one share each in the name of six other general officers. The Santa Fe Development Co., which holds the real estate interests along the new line is also owned by the Santa Fe railway company. There Missouri Pacific Will Spend $1,500,000 for Air Brakes. Atchison, Kan., Nov. 2 3. Repre sentatives of the Westinghouse Air Brake company are in Atchison to check up the Missouri Pacific air brake equipment on passenger coaches and design high speed equipment, such as is used on eastern lines. This means an expenditure of probably $1,500,000 for the road. Trains that do not exceed more than forty miles an hour will be able to make sixty or better with the high speed equipment, providing the rails and other equip ment are standard. The Missouri Pacific freight cars are equipped with standard air brakes, but the passenger coaches have various kinds of equip ment. Forty new passenger coaches that have been built during President Bush's administration have the high speed air brakes, but it is impossible to use these cars with others of the low speed. Speaking of the Omaha line, now being modernized, one of the Westing house men said: "It is being made into one of the best lines in the west, and with the high speed air brakes trains will be able to make sixty or sixty-five miles an hour with perfect safety." AMUSEMENTS Gertrude Hoffman and her company of Russian dancers arrived this after noon from the west in a special train. They will be seen at the Grand tonight. Edwin N.

It was in the seventeenth century that danc ing masters were first brought into Russia by Tsar Michail Fiedoro'.vitz Romanoff. Up to that period the chief sports had been cock fighting and the national dances. The tsar, suddenly acquiring an interest in Italian paint ingrs. ordered that one hundred artists should be sent to Moscow, and it de veloped that about 40 per cent of these artists were not painters, but dancing masters. From that day to the pres ent time there has always been an im perial subsidized ballet in Russia A strong- cast has been assembled for the presentation of the "Girl and the Tramp, witn Mr. r. J.

Superintendent C. C. Starr of the Topeka schools recently made an in vestigation as to the attitude of labor organizations toward the co-operative or half-time course in other cities, in Topeka called the boys' industrial course. The superintendents of schools in cities having that course in connec tion with the high school were asked the following tiuestion: "Are the labor organizations of your city opposed to the co-operative or half-time course now in operation in your high school?" The replies from all of the cities are as follows: Beverly, Mass. "So far as I know, there has been no opposiifon at any time." Fitchburg, Mass. "I have not learned that any action whatever has ever been taken by the labor organi zations relative to the subject." Providence, R. I. "Xo, not the slightest opposition." Moline, 111. "At one time objection was made, but I have heard nothing from it recently." Cincinnati, O. "The labor organiza tions in Cincinnati have endorsed the part-time plan in use in our city schools. We have just established one for printers' apprentices with the full approval of the Allied Printing Trades; in fact, they have urged it upon our board. I have always been perfectly frank with labor organizations and I think there is a feeling of mutual good will between them and our board of education. They know that we would not do anything to injure them and are seeking only the good of the child. The Central Labor council of our city- has endorsed the part-time plan of our public schools. The Allied Print- Trades have done more than that; they have urged upon the board the apprentice school plan in which the children get their training in shops as apprentices and their schooling is con tinued, the board of education provid ing the equipment and the teachers." American Federation Not Opposed. In this connection, the attitude of the national organization, the Ameri can Federation of Labor, is interest ing. At its meeting at Denver in 190S a committee was appointed to make a complete investigation of the sub ject of industrial education. Invita tions were extended to leading edu cators, business men and publicists to appear before this committee, and as a result a report was made strongly favoring industrial education. The co operative or half-time plan carries out as completely as is practical the spirit of this report. An abstract of the con clusions of the committee is as fol lows: "If the American workman is to maintain the high standard of effi ciency the boys and girls of the coun try must have an opportunity to ac- A f rl '.4 J 1 v Jac MASCOT Or THE "U".

Many women in making their toilet for the theatre, dance or any social affair, bathe the face and hands in an astringent lotion having an immedi ate rejuvenating effect. An ounce of powdered saxolite dissolved in a half pint of witch-hazel, makes an ideal preparation for this purpose. It is wonderfully effective in promptly dis persing wrinkles and creases, as well as bagginess of cheeks or chin. En larged pores are reduced, the skin ap pears softer and finer-textured, and one seems to have suddenly lost sev eral years from her age. The results being so remarkable and coming so quickly, and the ingredi ents being obtainable at any drug store, this is a good formula to re member. The solution is entirely Harmless. SUFFERED AGONY WITH ITCHING And Burning. Sores Like Boils All Over Body. Parts of Flesh Raw, Could Scarcely Bear Clothes On. Nearly Worn Out When He Tried Cuticura Remedies and Was Cured. "About four years ago I broke out with sores on my arms like boils. After two months they were all over my body, some coming, and some going away. In about six months the boils quit, but my arms, neck and body broke out with an itching, burning rash. It would burn and itch, and come out in pimples like grains of wheat. I was in a terrible condition I could not sleep or rest. Parts of my flesh were raw, and I could scarcely bear my clothes on. I could not lie in bed in any position and rest. In about a year the sores extended down to my feet. Then I suf fered agony with the burning, itching sores. I could hardly walk and for a long time I could not put on socks. "All this time I was trying everything I could hear of, and had the skill of three doctors. They said it was eczema. I got no benefit from all this. I was nearly worn out, and had given up in despair of ever being cured when I was advised by a friend la try Cuticura Remedies. I purchased Cuticura Soap. Ointment, and Resolvent, and used exactly as directed. I used the Cuticura Remedies constantly for four months, and nothing else, and was perfectly cured. It is now a year, and I have not had the least bit since. I am ready to praise the Cuticura Remedies at any time." (Signed) E. L. Gate, Exie, Ky., Nov. 10, 1910.

"There is a strong reaction coming in general methods of education, and that growing feeling which is gaining rapidly in strength, that the human element must be recognized and can not be so disregarded as to make the future workers mere automatic ma chines. "The committee recommends that any technical education of the workers in trade and industry being a public ne cessity, it should not be a private but a public function, conducted by the public and the expense involved at pub lic cost. "We favor the establishment of schools in connection with the public school system at which pupils between the ages of 14 and lfi may te taught the principles of the trades, not neces sarily in separate buildings but in sep nratc s-hools adapted to this particu lar education and by competent and trainprl teachers. "The course of instruction in such a school should be English, mathemat ics, physics, chemistry, elementary me chanics and drawing; tlie shop instruc tion for particular trades and for each trade reoresented, the drawing, mathe matics, "mechanics, physical and bio logical science applicable to the trade, the history of that trade and a sound system of economics, including the em phasizing the philosophy of collective bargaining. This will serve to prepare the pupil for more advanced subjects and, in adcition to disclose his capac ity for a specific vocation. "In order to keep such schools in close touch with the trades, there should be local advisory boards, including repre sentatives of the industries, employers and organized labor. "Experierce has show a that manual training school teachers without actual trade experience do not and cannot successfully solve this great problem, and that progress will necessarily be slow, as new teachers must be provided, and a new set of textbooks will have to be written and the subjects taught in a sympathetic and systematic man ner. "We advocate the continuance of pro gressive development of supplemental trade education, as inaugurated by trade unions, and call special attention to the work undertaken by the Interna tional Typographical I'nion In the es tablishment of a school for the higher education of its members. The Topeka Resolutions. The Tooeka Industrial council has adoDted the following resolutions: Whereas, There is now being put into effect in the high schools of this citv a course of study, known as the co-operative trade-training course, the principal feature ot winch is tne placing of students out into factories and shops for alternating periods amounting to one-half of the school year, for the purpose of giving them actual practice in the industrial trades while keeping up their studies in school: and Whereas.

MOTHERS I made to apply to the smaller industrial concerns, where the best wording conditions prevail, but must apply al most exclusively to the Santa Fe rail road shops, where the employees have aosoiuteiy no voice in their own indus trial warfare, and where apprentices are not given an opportunity to obtain a thorough training in the trades, but ait; Kept at routine work in special lines, thus making of them expert ma chine tenders rather than skilled me chanics; and wnereas, Trade unions have for j-ears made a study of industrial sub jects and are especially qualified to deal with the apprentice question from inside, practical, everyday experience, and know the importance of thorough trade training under favorable work ing conditions; and Whereas, The promoters of the plan admit that they would have no control over the environment or conditions of employment of the students while at work in the shops; and Whereas, The working people of the city, by reason of having the greater number of pupils in the schools as well as by reason of havine- to nav the greater portion of the taxes for their support, have a corresponding interest in the educational methods which they are conducted; and j Whereas, The report of the state su- permtendent of public instruction shows that in the first-class cities of the state but 43 per cent, and in the city of Topeka only 40 per cent, of the pupils complete the eighth gr ide of the gram mar school; and as the children of the working class are the first to be forced out of school, it is apparent that omy in exceptional cases do they ever reach the high school at all, to say nothing of being able to fini&h any prescribed course; therefore, be it Resolved, by the Topeka Industrial Council, That in view cf the deplorable working conditions prevailing in the only industrial concern to which this so-called co-operative trade-training scheme could practically be made to ap ply, we take this occasion to enter our protest against it. as it is believed no substantial benefit would accrue to the students who take up the course, so far as the shop-practice feature is con cerned.

A Reasonable Plea For The Stomach If Your Stomach Is lacking' in Diges tive Power, Why Xot Ilelp the Stomach Io Its Work Espe cially When It Costs Aotliiiig to Try? Not with drugs, but with a rein forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these organs need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to contain nothing but natural digestives. Chemical Laboratory.

HIGH CLASS MUSIC Mormon Choir Delights Topeka Music LoTers. 150 Women's and Misse 3 Now She May Lose Iler Place as Teacher. Woo! Suits at Organization Well Trained and Soloists Capable. Olathe, Kan., Nov. 23. The trustees of Aubry township, in this county, are in a quandary as to what action to take in the case of Miss Iva Ernst, the pretty little teacher of the Aubry school who Saturday of last week eloped and was married in Kansas City to Robert Bart- lett. a wealthy young farmer of this community. The marriage was to have been kept a secret, and the young wo man intended to finish the school year. The school authorities, however, learn ed of the runaway marriage and now the bride, herself scarcely more than a child, may lose her position. "There is no law In this state pro hibiting a married woman from teach ing school," Mi;s Etntfa Skinner, coun ty superintendent, said today. "I had not heard directly of Miss Ernst's mar vriage and of course am not in a posi r tion to say what wul be done in the matter. Usually it depends upon the sentiment '.r. the particular school dis trict where the nuestion is raised." His Pleading Wins. Because she loved the boys and fr'.rls of her country school at West Aubry, and they in turn were devoted to the charming young teacher from Olathe. Miss Ernst for many weeks resisted tne pleadings of big, handsome Robert Bartlett. proprietor of Oak Grove farm, eoutheast of this city. "Oh, Robert," she pleaded, "if I could do just as you wish and still continue to teach those dear children, I wouldn't hesitate a minute. But the children love me, and I love them and the work, and so you see And right there a brilliant idea was conceived in the brain of the impatient lover. If the young couple could man age in some way to get married without any one else being the wiser, and then, what a lark it would be, at the con- I elusion of the school term to divulge tne secret. In this particular instance tne difficulty was minimized because Miss Ernst was b"arding at the home of Mr Bartlett's mother, near her school. Go to Kansas City. The girl consented to the plan, and last Saturday the couple drove to Olathe ostensibly to attend the county teachers' institute. Instead, however, they informed friends that they were coiner to Kansas City to attend the heater. Once in Kansas City, it was but the work or a lew minutes to nnu a minister. ne. n. o. nmwi formed the marriage ceremony in tne nil I Ilrl K t. The happy bride could not resist the temptation to tell "just one" girl friend and also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Z. Ernst. The girl "chum" told the "secret" to one particular young man and it was a "secret" no longer. The young woman appeared Monday morning to take charge of her school. That night a crowd of young people appeared with a variety of noise pro ducing Instruments at the Bartlett home and held an old fashioned chart- I vari. And, worst of all, the school au thorities heard of it. and there was some talk of a married woman not being permitted to teach school in that district. A telephone call elicited the follow ing from the bride: "Hello, yes this is Miss Ernest, er that is yes, I suppose so. Everybody appears to have found out about it. Was I really married Well. yes. but. vou see, I wanted to keep on teaching school and It was to be kept a secret, but somebody told, and so yes. you can talk to my to Mr. Bartlett: he ill tell you the whole story yes, gooa oy.

CITY OWN GAS PLANT Kansas City's Solution of Trouble Over Situation. Kansas City, Nov. 23. Prepare for municipal ownership of the city gas plant. If the city cannot raise the money to take it over by the time nat ural gas plays out. three years hence, tin n it will be prepared to go into court to show how cheaply artificial gas can be supplied by the gas company, as the franchise provides. The plan to lengthen the life of the natural gas supply by raising the price won't do. Such is the essence of a statement issued yesterday afternoon by the pub lic utilities commission after receiving the report cf Prof. Erasmus Haworth on the conditions in the gas fields. The commission's statement follows: The report of Prof. Erasmus Haworth has been received by the commission and it is a solendid piece of original research work with complete details. The con clusion that he arrives at. that natural gag will be available only lor two or three more winters, makes it incumbent upon the city to immediately begin to prepare for the time when artificial gas will have to be used. Professor Haworth believes, and the conimisKion agrees with him, that it would be idle to attempt to conserve the supply of natural gaa by raising the price, for the reason that the Kansas Natural Gas company, withi which we have the contract, does not control the natural gas fields, but there are a num ber nf other companies interested, so that in addition to the consent of tiik Kansas Natural Gas coupany a large number or other companies would also have to be in accord, for it will be useless for the Kan sas Natural Gas company to restrict the use of gas while other companies were usinar it for manufacturing purposes. Moreover, other cities in Kansas and in Missouri and Oklahoma would have an MAKE IT HURON PARK New Suggestion May Appease Wrrath of Conley Sisters. Kansas City, Nov. 23. Huron cemetery, the Wyandotte Indian burying ground in Kansas City. Kan., probably will be pur chased by the city and made a part of Huron park. Four of the five city com missioners expressed a desire that the city own the cemetery, at a conference yesterday afternoon with E. H. Brown, J. R. Robitallle and Henry Hicks, mem bers of the Wyandotte tribe in Okla homa, who have been selected by the tribe to hurry the sale of the burying plot. Tribe Favors It. The delegation of Indians were pre sented to the commissioners by W. A. Simpson, appomrpa by the federal court in 1H07 to dispose of the cemetery, and divide the proceeds among the members of the tribe. Mr. Simpson has been pre vented from selling the land by the ef forts of Ida. Lyda and Lena fnnlsv it.- scendants of Wyandotte Indians, who have fought every effort to disturb the graves of their forefathers. The three Indians told the commission ers that the tribe was unanimously in favor of selling the cemetery, but if pos sible, they desired the city to take it over for park purposes. vve hope that the city will purchase the tract, and then set acart a spotinn -if it, where all the bodies now in thn f,pm- i fin thA nroermm for eiery may be burled." E. H. Brown enairman of the business committee of the tribe, told the commissioners. "The tribe then would be glaa to erect a monu ment over the plot in memory of their dead." Would Cost About $100,000. Mayor Porter, and Commissioners An derson, Cable and Caton, each signified their willingness that the city purchase the ground. The cost of the ground is esumatea at Detween $75,000 and $100,000. i I It Is always hard to define the cause that contributes most to the. success, of an entertainment here success in the sense of pleasing the audience The con cert goers of Topeka are thought to be unusually fickle, sometimes are "pleased with a rattie, tickled with a straw," and at other times unresponsive to some of the most splendid efforts of the best musicians. However that may be. the Mormon choir which gave a concert last night at the Auditorium struck just the chord that awakened the sympathies of the hearers. It was partly due no doubt to the manner of the performers, who had a certain freedom from tne conventional air and lack of the blase, bored repo3e of tho professional con certizers. The conductor, Evan Stephens, is a man who commands attention, even be fore he raises the baton that controls 200 voices. Quick, keen, and alert, with a certain swing and rhythm in every motion, he at once attracts. He sings with his choir sings with all his might, which acei.is to make him one with them instead of -a. detached piece of mechanism a mechanome, for instance as is the case with so many leaders Horace S. Ensign, a baritone solo ist canir fivnav Sweetheart, from Her bert's Fortune Teller. The piece itself has a certain delicate individuality, and -it was given in a way that grips you somehow and lodges in the mem ory. Mr. Ensign's voice is sympa thetic and full of power. The chorus was taken up by the choir, and the soloist, singing against 200 voices, could be clearly understood. A selection from Coolridge Taylors Hiawatha, "The Death of Minnehaha," was noticeably good, and tne selections that have been approved of music lovers ever since they were written the Soldiers' Chorus from Faust and the Lucia Sextette were rendered creditably enough. The women of the choir sang a Christmas song composed by the con ductor, and the men's section of the choir sang Dixie, much to the delight of the audience, who Insisted on an encore, and instead of repeating a verse of Dixie, they sang "Away Out West in Utah" to the same tune. Willard Weihe, the violinist, played Fantaise Appassionata. He brought to tho work technical resources that rep resented a high standard of virtuosity and a command of tonal beauty that bespoke an imaginative musical con sciousness. The program was further varied by a harp solo, "Autumn," played by Miss T.-vrUji white. Aside from the pretty I picture presented by a graceful girl with yellow curls and a pink gown, the niece was not especially pleasing. It was rather too long, and a trifle insipid.

It is therefore apparent to us that It would be of little avail to Kansas City to raise the price in order to conserve the supply. The commission will begin to gather in formation for the use of Kansas City, so that when the time comes, in two or three years, when the price of artificial gas is to be fixed the city will be pre pared with the information necessary to determine whether or not the city should then take over the property within Kan sas Citv and itself furnish gas to its Inhabitants, or whethej it should permit the present company to furnish artificial gas at a price to be determined by the circuit court, as provided in the fran chise. "The report of the gas fields was or dered that the people of Kansas City might Know the conditions." Mayor Brown said yesterday, following the receipt of the report. "It is now up to them whether they want the franchise of the gas company revoked or not. I will do. for my part, whatever they de sire in this matter." KISS THEIR RINGS Clericals at Iiomf Receive the Ameri can Cardinals-Designate. Rome, Nov. 23. Cardinals-designate John M. Farley and Diomede Falconio arrived here today. Many ecclesiastics had assembled at the station before dawn, but the train containing the two American archbishops was late. Both the prelates looked well, notwithstand ing the fatigue of their long journey. The ecelesiasts present knelt and kiss ed the rings of the new cardinals-designate, while many trav s and other persons about the station joined In em phasizing the cordiality of the recep tion. A characteristic note was given to the occasion by some of the clerical suite carrying roiled American flags bound w ith white and yellow ribbons, the papal colors. The warmest congrat ulations and respectful greeting were then presented to the two cardinals designate by Mgr. Thomas F. Kennedy, rector of the American col!ere in Rome, Mgr. Dennis O'Connell, auxiliary Bish on of San Francisco: Dr. Bernard J.

During the usual papal audience Cardinal Merry Del Val communicated to the pope the arrivals of the two cardinals-designate and informed him of the-cordial reception that had been accorded to them. The pope was pleased and said he was looking for- j ward to receiving them soon. The! secret consistory will be held next i Monday and the public consistory will follow on Thursday.

Superintendent Pearse Does Not Agree With Bird S. Coler. Milwaukee, Nov. 23. Carroll G. Pearse, superintendent of Milwaukee schools and president of the National Educational association, does not agree with Bird S. Coler, the former New Tork City comptroller, who attributes the spread of socialism to the lack of religious teachings in the schools. "If the school were the only place where religion could be taught there might be some occasion for Mr. Coler's alarm," said Mr. Pearse, "but there remains the home and the church where children may obtain religious instruction." Cavaliera Rustleana, though by request he substituted excerpts from vv agner. A Mormon hymn, "O, My Father," and the encore "Though the Waters Rage," were intense and devotional, thoroughly characterized by the spirit of religious earnestness that has made these "Latter Day Saints" a peculiar people and has set them apart from all other Americans, supplying the real incentive for the accomplishment of their stupendous attainments, the re demption of the desert, the accumula tion of vast wealth, the erection of great buildings, and not least, the organization and training of their choir for the tabernacle service. The last number was the Irrigation Ode which was sung every day by the choir during the Irrigation Congress in New York, from which they are now returning. Mrs. Bessie Browning and Mr. David Reese sang the solo parts, and the chorus at its fullest strength supplemented them, making quite a thrilling climax to a program unique and interesting. BURGLARIZE A PAWN SHOP. "Careless or improper treatment of the scalp so often results in dull, brit tle, 'stringy' hair," says Mrs. Mae Martyn, in the Baltimore Leader. "This is so easy to correct," she con tinues, "that it is possible for every woman to have beautiful hair, and an abundance of it. "A teaspoonful of canthrox dis solved in a cup hot water is sufficient mixture for a thorough cleansing of scalp and hair, and shampooing with this is a positive delight.

rs THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL CONVICT TO HELP Al.Jennings May Defend Cravens in Murder Trial. Attempt Will Be Made to Blame Welty. KANSAS TVAXTS Conyiet May Go Free on Okla homa Murder Charge. His Pal Cannot Be Compelled to Testify. Leavenworth, Kan., Xov. 2 3. An ex-convict from the federal peniten tiary here. Al Jenningfs, will defend Ben Cravens, alias Charles Muast, who Is charged with murdering Alvin Bate Dian, postmaster at Red Rock, Okla. Irlson authorities, In keeping with their -olicy not to divulge any in formation In regard to ex-convicts, re fuse to confirm the report. Cravens' defense will be to contend that he is not Cravens and if that fails ho may attempt to place all the blame on Albert Welt". Five men were witnesses to the holdup at Red Rock, but two are dead. While the other three say they would be able to Identify Cravens they might fail if he were lined up with other men. xhe robbery occurred ten years ago. If their memory is poor Cravens may escape. State Wants Craven. Warden Codding said If the United States court in Oklahoma failed to convict that the state of Kansas would try him for escaping from the Lansing -penitentiary. Welty, Cravens' confederate at Red Rock, who is serving a life sentence In the federal penitentiary for the mur der of Bateman, may not testify against him. None of the prison offi cials has asked him yet whether he will turn against Cravens. The United States district attorney, who will pros ecute Cravens, probably will come here to interview Welty before the govern ment announces whether It will sum mon him. Congressman Bird Mc Gulre of Oklahoma says, however, that Welty confessed to him previous to his trial. If Welty refuses to go to the govern ment can not force him to. He did not confess in court to the murder and if he were called upon now to tell the story of the shooting h" would in criminate himself. may not wish to ao this. antly surprised when about thirty seven members of the lodge to which he belonged came driving into his yard about sunrise armed with husking pegs and wagons with the usual high sideboards.

Lawrence, Kan., Xov. 23. One of the most radical actions ever taken by a university organization here was the movement made by the members of the university council when that body turned all of its powers of discipline over to the student council which is made up entirely of members of the undergraduate body. The university council is composed of all the profes sors and heads of departments of the various schools of the university. Chancellor Strong is the president. In the future the student council will have charge of all student activi ties in the matter of resulating and enforcing discipline. It will be the duties of the council to enforce the rules preventing "cribbing," or cheat ing In examinations, and it will also be the duty of its members to repri mand any student violating rules laid down by the council or any student government rules. Although the pres ent action concerns only the male stu- ents of the university, it is expected that the women's student council will also be given the full reins of disci pline regulation and enforcement among the co-eds. In the future the men's student council will have the power of sus pending and expelling students pro vided their recommendations are met with approv.il by the chancellor and board of regents. When such recom mendation is made to the chancellor and no reply is received within 72 hours. It will be taken for granted that the action of the student organization le approved. The action of the uni versity council is considered a move ment towards the honor system and a step towards democracy in university activities.

OPEN EVENINGS The Kansas Real Estate Dealers' association has issued an attractive folder filled with cuts of prosperous farms and .Kansas products. The fore word has been written by F. D. Coburn and is an eloquent exposition of the advantages of Kansas. It follows: Kansas as a State. The United States Is an Imperial do main, unequaled elsewhere in all the world. Its center, core and pivotal state is Kansas. Look at the map and see! In size the state is 400 miles long from east to west "and 20 8 miles wide. This means 52,000,000 acres, practi cally all tillable, an area twice as large as Ohio, or equaling Pennsylvania and Indiana together. The soil ranges from the deep black loam of the limestone land, general in the eastern half or two-thirds, to the sandier formations further west, con taining large proportions of decaying vegetable matter, and hence Is very productive. Alluvial deposits in the valleys often exceed depths of 20 feet. While their depth of available fertility is not so great, the slopes and uplands 'n many instances yield nearly as abundantly, and for certain crops are preferred by some. The climate is mild, without either tropic heat or arctic cold, and every where healthful. The air is dry, in vigorating and wholesome, and espe cially beneficial to persons with a ten dency to lung and throat diseases. Weather extremes that occur are of short duration, and by far a majority of the days are fair and sunny. Owing to situation, the cold of long northern winters and the debilitating heat of the summers farther south are avoid ed. Some winters have almost no real ly severe weather. Both summers and winters are several degrees warmer in the south rn than in the northern portions of the state. The average velocity of Kansas w inds is about 8.5 miles per hour, and the government weather bureau is author ity for the statement that storms such as are denominated "blizzards," not withstanding a silly, common belief by strangers, seldom, if ever, occur in the state, and that cyclones are equal ly uncommon. The eastern part Is quite liberally provided with timber, the supply grad u llv decreasing to the westward. Ar tificial plantings are being constantly made. Throughout the state inexhaustible supplies of pure water are available from wells of varying depth, and drawn to the surface by pumps oper- ated by wind or other power. Numer 1 ous springs also furnish an exce'lent water supply. Because of their prac tical and unlimited availability, the so- called underflow waters are more or i less extensively used by means of wells and pumning for irrigating consider able gardens and even larger tracts in the western portion of the state. Irri gation i3 practiced quite extensively in the western end of the Arkansas River valley, the main source of supply being the Arkansas river. Artesian water flow has been developed and is util ized for irrigating and other purposes in Morton and in the northeastern nart of Meade county. The annual average precipitation, which includes the rainfall and water from melted snow, as shown by the official records for 20 years, has ben, for the whole state, about 28 Inches the average in the eastern third be ing 35 inches: in the central part, 27.6 inches: and In the western third, 20 inches. With such soil and climate, Kansas is pre-eminently .adapted to agricul ture, and this, including live stocK hus bandry, is the state's foremost indus try. The value of farm products In 1910 wa, about $3o3,000.000, and, with that of the live stock on hand added, aggregated $539,793,000. Kquallj ap portioned among he inhabitants this would amount to more than $318 each. Corn is the foremost crop, and Kan sas raises more wheat, Kafir corn and alfalfa than any other state or pro vince in the world, having of the latter approximately 1,000,000 acres. Other crops flourish In proportion, and it may be said, with no suggestion of boasting, that Kansas comes nearer yielding In abundance all the neces saries and more of the luxuries of life than almost any of the other states. The variety of production suggests her wide adaptability for profitable ag riculture. Besides leading in the Im portant crops already mentioned, the state is prominent in hay. oats, rye. barley, broomcorn. sorghum, sugar beets, potatoes, cotton, flax, timothy, clover, bluegiass and, among others, the various large and small fruits al ways command a place In her annual output. From the nature of her prin cipal crops, Kansas provides a never ending banquet for her live stock, and the economical making of meat and milk Is everywhere possible. Lead, zinc, natural gas. coal salt, cement and gypsum are in unlimited supply in their different territories. No other state Is more noted for the high order of its citizenship or the school, college and church facilities its citizens so munificently support Ninety-Six Exceptional Bargains m Wo men s Tailored Suits 11 r A' f 9 r.'VV' T I mm COME EARLY FOR BEST CHOICE if.

Burns, the detective, in an address today before the state secretaries section of the Amer ican Bankers' association. Mr. Burns arraigned Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Eugene V.

Carney, representative from Cloud county In the last legislature, and one of the Democratic floor leaders, is opposed to an extra session. Carney can see no sense in calling such a ses sion. It is a political play, he declares, and there is no need sufficient to warrant the expenditure. He stated that the presidential primary bill was defeated at the regular session for the simple and practical reason that it would have re quired two state wide primary elections in one year. Mr. Carney while in Topeka expressed himself as follows on the spe cial session in an interview: I am most emphatically opposed to a special session, he said. In the first place a legislature should not be used as a place to settle factional political quarrels end there would be no other object m calling a special session excepting fur thering political fortunes.

"The conditions are 133 pounds at 3 o'clock," said Jones. "Wolgast is offered a lump sum for his end." Jones, however, declined to say how much the "lump sum" was. Wells Is supposed to be in England but Jones said he was expected to be In New York In time to condition himself for the fight. London, Nov. 23. Mrs, Pethick Lawrence, the head and front of Tues day's suffragette riots, was today the central figure of the trial of those ar rested during the demonstration. Standing unconcernedly in the pris oners' enclosure at Bow Street police court, she listened to the evidence in support of the charge of assaulting the police and obstructing them in the performance of their duty. When the magistrate sentenced her to a month's imprisonment she did not flinch. Ac cording to the evidence Mrs. Lawrence at the head of 30 women, stormed the police time and again. She struck a policeman in the face twice and strug gled for fifteen minutea when she was arrested and taken away. Mrs. Lawrence made a statement in court with reference to the poster produced yesterday calling on women to assemble and "see fair play and protect women from being brutally victimized by the police in uniform and plain clothes, aa they were on Black Friday 1910, when, aa the re sult of ill usage one woman died and many were seriously injured." She said "I am glad to state that, as far as the police in my vicinity were con cerned, there was no repetition on Tuesday of the brutal hreta of wn- 30 i men. I am inclined to think that what happened on the former occasion was done on the instructions of the government." The others of the accused almost with out exception took their sentences with indifference, choosing jail in preference to the payment of fines. Mrs. Kathleen Robwell managed to de liver a brief speech in spite of the pro tests of the magistrate. She had broken a big plate glass window on the Strand. "It Is out of my great love for human ity and particularly my devotion to wo men and children that I did this," she said. "Sex disqualification Is the root of all social evils and I am prepared to do anything the militant branch of the suf fragettes dictates in order to gain the vote for women." Mrs, Robwell was committed for trial at the sessions. She refused the offer of bail in the interval, saying she preferred to remain in jail until the trial. Los Angeles, Nov. 23.

F, B. Hanawalt, a retired wholesale grocer, was excused today at the sug gestion of the Judge Walter Bordwell, without the formality of challenge.

QUR GAS IS GOING In Three Years There Will Be None, Havvorth Says. Kansas City, Nov. 23. In three years Topeka and the surrounding ter ritory will have exhausted the natural gas supply of Kansas and Oklahoma gas wells and will be forced to re turn to the high priced artificial heat. This is the substance of a report sub mitted to the public utilities commis sion here today by Prof. Erasmus Ha wrth, state geologist of Kansas, who has just completed a three months' in vestigation of the fields for the com mission. Conditions in the Mid-Continent field, from 'which Kansas City, east ern Kansas and southwest Missouri draw their supply, are much worse than he expected to find them, says Professor Haworth. The only hope is that gas fo- factory use be cut off en tirely throughout the territory sup plied. If this is done, the supply may be prolonged a few years longer. Accompanying the reports are fig ures on rock pressure and volume, showing a tremendous rate of deteri oration in gas pools In the "districts of Kansas and Oklahoma.

Jurtgro Dana Gives Baker School Chris man Money. Judge A. W. Dana today decided that Baker university was .entitled to the residue from the Eliza Chrisman estate and sustained decision of the Kansas Conference of Methodist churches, which last spring gave the property to the Baldwin pchool under the terms of the will. The decision today will probably end the long liti gation over the Chrisman nroperty. as it is not believed that the other schools will appeal from the decision of the Shawnea county court. When Eliza Chrisman died she left an estate valued at $75,000. Her will provided that the property should be used in the establishment of a new Methodist college in Topeka provid ed, that an equal amount of money be raised by subscription in 10 years after her death. This money was nev er raised and in accordance -with the provisions of the will, the Kansas conference of M. E. churches, named a school which should receive the benefits of the estate. The conference designated Baker University. Then the Palina Wesleyan Univer sity brought suit in the Shawnee coun ty probate court to recover a share of the property. Judge Schoch decided against them and the case was appeal ed to the district court. After wrest ling with the legal questions involved, Judge Dana today gave the Chrisman money to the Baldwin school.
