The ccre- DK SUM TAT 5EN The New President of Chinese Republic, niony was simple but dignified. It was attended by all the prominent men of the revolutiunaiy party. Dr. Sun, who is well known in America and Europe, after hia arrival in Shanghai some ten days ago, was elected president by the i national assembly of reformers repre senting the provinces of hina proper, then in session here by an almost un animous vute. His proposed cabinet co:iipi lses Li Huen Yens, Huang Sing ana Dr. Wu Ti.;g Fang, ail of whom are in the front rank of the reform movement. Nanking, Jan. 2. The first official act of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the president of the new Chinese republic, was to change the Chinese calendar. He made .New Year's day the first day of his presidency, thus marking the com mencement of a new era and making the Chinese year begin henceforth on the same day as the year begins in most other countries of the world. Ac companied by a numerous suite and protected by a strong body guard, Dr. Sun Yat Sen left Shanghai in a spe cial train for Nanking. The trip was made without incident except for the enthusiasm of the greeting accorded to the new president at all the prin cipal stations. Dr. Sun reached the new Chinese capital at half past 5 o'clock in the evening and was greeted with loud cheering. Many prominent men among the revolutionaries met him at the station and accompanied him to' the government house, the route to which was lined by 10.000 soldir The whole town was beflaeged the warships and merchant vessels along the river dressed ship and a presiden tial sa.ute was fired from the guns of all the lorts in the vicinitv The government house was reached at o clock.

The whole fiscal system would be readjusted, but he was sure the income of the country was sufficient to discharge its liabili ties and to defray ordinary expenses. After giving many details as to his program for the development of the resources of China, President Sun re ferred to the relations f China with foreign countries. He expressed on be half of the new republic the feeling of thankfulness that prevailed at the con sistent neutrality of the foreign nations. He said the anti foreign feeling which had previously existed would not appear in the new China. To Be a Popular Government. The government, he concluded, was responsive to the will of the people, and he was assured that unity would prevail among all the provinces in sup porting the central government of the republic. By doing its duty as a na tion he hoped the new republic would be recognized in the council of nations and he could promise that the foreign policy of his government would be con ducive to the peace of the world.

He may have to cancel both the Lansing and Owosso meetings scheduled for today. Owosso, Mich., Jan. 2. At 10:45 a. m. Senator LaFollette had not arrived on the Grand Trunk train on which he was expected. County Chairman Bigelow announced the meeting would have to be cancelled and the crowd dispersed.

Harriman Saw Splendid Futnre, Holland Says. South Has Built Many Miles of Railroads. New York, Jan. 2. Some of the ablest business and banking authori ties of the United States are now turn ing their eyes with prophetic vision toward the south and southwest, ex pecting that in those sections of the country there will be the highest rela tive and possibly absolute industrial and commercial activity enjoyed by the United States in the year 1912. And if their predictions are verified there will surely follow indirect or reflex in fluences of a most beneficial kind upon all industry and much of the agricul ture of the United States. By the southwest they include in a general way all of that part of the country beginning with the eastern boundary of Kansas and including that state, Oklahoma, northern and west ern Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. This is the southwest of which the late E. H. Harriman so often spoke in terms implying greater enthusiasm, even, and a larger expectation than were characteristic of his views re specting the great mid-zone which the main line of the Union and Southern Pacific railroads bisects. Harriman for Kansas. Mr. Harriman often spoke of the great southwest as a veritable empire. He was confident that with its high development, with sufficient transpor tation, with intelligent agriculture, that region would ultimately be found to be a producer of wealth both relative ly and absolutely greater than the production of any other part of the country. Mr. Harriman saw a great future for Kansas, and if he were liv ing he would rejoice over the recent reports from that state which tell of the per capita wealth of its inhabitants, wealth these citizens have themselves produced. The enthusiasm and expec tation with which Mr. Harriman often spoke of the southwest have always been shared by Mr. B. F. Yoakum, who sometimes speaks as though he felt that in other parts of the coun try, especially the thickly-settled and hishly-developed regions east of the Alleghany mountains, there is as yet little understanding of what the wealth-creating capacity of the great southwest is and how large a part the production of that wealth will play in the general prosperity of the country.

Ohio ProgressiveRepublicanCon ference Refuses Endorsement To the Presidential Candidacy of Senator LaFollette. ON PLEA OF HARMONY Resolution Favoring His Aspira tions Is Defeated 52 to 32. Plainly Declares Its Opposition to President Taft. Columbus, O., Jan. 2. Progressive Republicans of Ohio yesterday, form ed a permanent organization, adopted a declaration of progressive principles, but voted 52 to 32 not to give their en dorsement to United States Senator Robert M. LaFollette as a candidate for the presidential nomination. After refusing the endorsement of the league, the delegates voted 81 to 11 'n favor of a resolution as a personal ex pression of the delegates' naming Sena tor LaFollette as "the living embodi ment of the principles of the progres sive movement and the logical candi date to carry them to successful frui tion." The vote came after three hours' de bate on the -floor of the convention and was on the adoption of an amendment to the report of the resolutions commit tee, which had been unanimously in favor of not naming a candidate. Gifford Pinchot, who declared that he spoke only for himself, and in no way for Colonel Roosevelt, and former Sec retary of the Interior Garfield, were the leaders in the debate against giving any candidate an endorsement. Senator Works, of California, and later Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, were vigorous in urging that the Ohio progressives con centrate their efforts in working for the election of Senator LaFollette. Nearly every delegate expressed himself re peatedly in the debate. The vote was taken immediately after an appeal by Common Pleas Judge R. M. Wanamaker, of Akron, who declared he made the first anti-Taft sneech in the state, and who appealed to the Del egates not to go into the presidential campaign by going against the advice of such leaders of the National Pro gressive league as Pinchot and Walter Houser, secretary of the National league, and manager of the LaFollette campaign. The resolution, which was adopted and which had been submitted to the resolutions committee by Pinchot, (Continued on Page Two.) BANK DOORS CLOSED Institution at Albion, Mich., in Hands of Controller. Albion, Mich., Jan. 2. The Albion Na tional bank was closed today. A notice posted on the door says that the bank is in the hands of the controller of the currency.

TUESDAY EVENING. is up irriiE air Conflicting Reports About Ap pointment of Hook. One Is That Protests Came Too Late. IS TALK OF NAGEL. Believed He Will Get Place if Hook Fails. Kansas Utilities Commission Is Asked to Join Protesters. Washington, Jan. 2. The chances of Judge Hook's appointment to the supreme court bench has already gone a glimmering. At least that is the strong belief of his friends here. Viewing with alarm the protests from governors and others of four great states, Kentucky, Nebraska. Iowa and Minnesota, as well as from a number of senators and representa tives in congress against the selection of Hook, the president has decided to hold up the appointment until the re turn from Panama of Attorney Gen eral Wlekersham. After being re ceived personally by the president the protests will be closely scrutinized by the attorney general. The main object in the minds of those immediately around the presi dent is that having delivered an opin ion favorable to the railroads in the Minnesota case, which is now before the supreme court for review. Judge Hook would not, if appointed, be eligi ble to sit in that case. In such case Judge Hook would be in the position of having prejudged it. The president had decided last week to appoint Hook and intended sending his nomination to the senate tomor row. Frankfort, Ky Jan. 2. The Ken tucky railroad commission has enter ed a protest against the appointment of Judge Hook of Kansas to the va cancy on the United States supreme court bench. Lawrence Finn, chair man of the Kentucky railroad com mission and chairman of the executive committee of the National Railroad commissioners' association, sent the following message to President Taft: "Our information is that you con template appointing Judge Hook on the suprem e bench an d we enter our Continued on Page 5,) FIRES FROM AUTO Gamblers War Said to Be Cause of Killing. Two Other Men Found Lying Fatally Wounded. New York, Jan. 2. A gray automo bile rolled up the Bowery at a snail's pace early today and came almost to a stop at the corner of Delancey street, while one of the five passengers leaned over the door of the car and waved a revolver. Singling out one of a crowd of belated merrymakers he took care ful aim and fired motally wounding his man, Joseph Harris, a clerk. Harris declined to make any state ment regarding the affair and the police declare that it was a part of a gambling war which has been blamed for several serious fights recently. There is no clue to the identity of the assailants or the machine. Another probably fatal shooting affair occurred an hour later on the upper West Side. No witnesses of this fight were found by the police, although sev eral nearby apartment house dwellers admitted they had heard a fusillade of shots. Two men were found lying on the sidewalk, both so seriously wounded that death appears likely. Again the police declare the gambling war re sponsible. NEW PENSION BILL Senate Apparently Is Opposed to the Sherwood Measure. Washington, Jan. 2. The senate pen sion committee will not attempt to amend the Sherwood pension bill which was passed in the house. An entirely ne bill will be reported and Senator McCumber probably will offer it as an amendment to the McCumber law of 1907. which recognizes the age of 62 years as total disability and makes cer tain recognition of veterans entitled to its benefits. The senate committee's experts have compiled figures from the treasury de partment and the pension bureau to show that the Sherwood bill would in crease the present rolls 66 per cent. The senate bill would carry an annual ex penditure of not more than $30,000,000. A poll of the senate on the Sherwood bill is said to show not mora than 10 Democrats and about 12 Republicans ready to vote for it. TAKING HEAVY TOLL Russians Are Tlaneine: Persians in Bunches. Tabriz, Jan. 2. Eight Persians were hanged yesterday by order of the Rus sian court martial and another eight were executed this afternoon in con nection with the recent attack on the Russian troop;. The Russlt.r. cot;t martial is exact ing a heavy toll for the acasualties suffered by the Russian troops. The prisoners are tried in batches and in nearly every ease are hanged sum marily. Their bodies are displayed throughout the day In the public square. Among those hanged were Shegat dislma, the head of one of the reli gious sects and the chief member of the local assembly, Seik Salem. Weather Indications. Chicago, Jan. 2.

Osborn of Michigan lVanti Taft and LaFollette To Retire in Favor of Beveridgt or Roosevelt. IS FOR THE INCUMBENT And Does Not Believe the Sena tor Can Be Elected. Mingles Severe Criticism With Mild Sort of Praise. Lansing, Jan. 2. Governor t'hw E. Osborn in a statement here today proposes that President Taft and Sen ator LaFollette both withdraw ai presidential candidates In favor of Theodore Roosevelt or Albert J. Bev eridge. The governor had prepared a speech to this effect to be delivered in Introducing Senator LaFollette. In view of the fact that the senator miss ed his train this morning. Governor Osborn authorized the une of th speech as a statement of his views. Governor Osborn added: "As between Taft and LaFollette, I am for Taft." Governor Osborn criticised Senator LaFollette as having "taken up thoua things which mijfht be termed popular that contained the least danger to himself," and frankly ssid that he did not believe Senator LaFollette can ha nominated for the presidency or elect ed if nominated. Governor Osborn further said: "The Senator LaFollette style of campaign tends to arouse the pasilon of the people and make for a conil tlon of public intolerance which lb al ways worse than personal or Individual intolerance because It has so much more might as a force. "In Senator LaFollette's speech and writings and in this connection let me say that I have taken and en joyed 'LaFollette's Weekly' and I nm a subscriber to It now I do not think he distinguishes between honest men In big business and dishonest men. "We have got to have big buslneM in this country if we are to compete in the manufactures and transactions of the world. But big business should not be permitted to oppress the peo ple. Ills Work in Wisconsin. "I have noticed also that while Sen ator LaFollette did great work in rid ding Wisconsin of corruption nn1 railroad domination, he has never said anything against brewery domination in that state. Really, as between the two I should prefer railroad domina tion. However, It was rood politics to fight the railroads In Wisconsin, but It would not hi-ve gotten Senator LnFol lette anywhere probably if he had fought the brewery-owned saloons. "What I wish to make clear about this statement Is that the senator has taken up those ihlngs which might be termed popular and that contained th least danger to himself. Now this may be entirely unfair, but I have thought it and do think It still and I wish to say it to you and to him face vo face.'' In beginning his remarks Governor Os born said: "I have known Senator LaFoIletta and of him for 30 years, or ever since he made his fight for district attorney of Dane county against the machine of Boss Keyes. I have followed his ca reer always with Interest and with varying degrees of admiration and ap proval. "Right here let me state so that there can be no mlsunrterstandtng about it that if he Is nominated for presi dent fwhlch at this moment I hope bo -a-lll not be) I will give him my earnest and active support ani will request my friends everywhere to sup port him with earnestness and devo tion."

But Senator Sawyer was never prosecuted for bribery or cited for contempt oT court and nothing was don except to make political capital 'or Senator La Follette so far as I have ben able to understand. "Mv ldpa of this matter Is that Sen ator LaFollette should have prosecut-1 and punished Senator Sawyer for the criminal act that he alleged, or ele he should have accepted It as a mlkr growing out of the blunted sensibilities of a man who had never had the pollh of education or an ethical development. "Senator Isaac S'terhenson pursuant to this agreement with Senator LaFol lette started newspapers and olhcrwtw in Senator LaFollette's Interest spent hundreds of thnusnnds of dollars. H mav be said to Senator LaFollette s credit or otherwise that he broke with Senator Stephenson as soon as be landed in the senate.

"I have always believed that he clin to make a profession of politics. I have always believed that he had hH interests primarily at heart.

TllE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTJKWAL JANUAEY 1912 SEARGHJN VAIN. J. B. Snead Spends Fortune to Find His Wife. Then Told by Her She Will Stay With Affinity. Winnipeg-, Jan. 2. The story of how J. B. Snead, millionaire Texas banker, after tracking his wife a thousand miles and spending $23,000 in the search, over came all obstacles in international di plomacy, was revealed tjday when it wa3 announced his wife and her ad mirer, Albert G. Boyce of Seattle, son of the cattle king of the southwest, would be deported from Canada as un desirable parties. According to Boyce, the charge of grand larceny is one trumped up to extradite him and he claims that it could never be proved. The Texas authorities, it is said, con tend that Boyce persuaded the woman to give him her jewelry, valued at $20, 000, but no trace of the jewels eould be found here and both prisoners, who were guests. at a fashionable hotel re fuse to state what became of them. Boyce says after he had been indict ed by a grand jury in Texas on the charge of abduction and grand larceny, political pressure was brought to bear on the Texas authorities to procure hi3 return to that state. Counsel for the defense, acting on allegations made by the authorities that the woman was weak mentally, had her examined by two noted Canadian alienists, who de clared that she was sane. It is claim ed by the prosecution that owing to her enfeebled mind Boyce wielded great influence over her and forced her to follow him. It la on these grounds that charges are laid. '.Final action in the case will be op ened in Minneapolis Wednesday when the wife will be confronted by her two children, her mother and her sister. Yesterday the husband held an in terview with Mrs. Snead, but it is said Fhe declared she would not return with Mim. Snead said he wanted to take h:s wife back with him. regardless of the past. The woman claims that she was in carcerated in an asylum and that Snead did not give her a chance to explain. She says that she wants her chil dren, bnt that her love for Boyce is so great that she is willing to give them tip for him. It is believed by the auth orities that the two have engaged coun sel in Minneapolis to fight their extra dition from Minnesota. In their cells, however, they refuse to converse about their affairs and ap pear to he greatly downcast over their failure to stay in Canada. TblackIye. (Continued from Page One.) Houser and John T.

We hereby declare Jit to be the determined purpose of the Ohio Progressive Republican league to I work h harmony and unison to nomi Inate a progressive Republican for President, recognizing as fellow pro gressives all who hold the principles for w hich we stand, whether they be for .e presidential nomination of Robert .I. LaFollette or Theodore Roosevelt, or iuny other progressive Republican: j "We assert the essential unity of the 'progressive movement throughout the lentire state and nation. I "We favor the election of delegates who will favor the nomination of a can didate who will fully represent the pro igressive principle." t A declaration of principles adopted unanimously was substantially the one prepared by a committee appointed at -a meeting of progressives of the west ern reserve. On the question of national policies, it followed the line of the plat form adopted by the progressive con ference in Chicago. 1 It declared for a substantial and equitable revision of the tariff schedule -y schedule "preserving the protective tariff principle, the measure of which i hall be the difference in wages and raw material at home and abroad. i To thin end, a nonpartisan tariff ioard with full power to compel testi nony end to report to congress was ad vocated. i A revision ot the Sherman law was -utrgested In the second paragraph: For the cure of corporate and trust vil, we favor legislation that shall ef etively regulate and control in the Bbiic interests the great instrumeritali-it-s of modern business; such legislation .clearly to define and provide against recognized wrongs; such as the ex ploitation of humanity for profit, stock watering, organizing companies with Sut substantial assets, agreements to ontrol production, market prices and he like; all designed to protect the ."nest and punish by imprisonment the dishonest business man."

I FKTiJL TO THE CO IN THY. nflated Capital Means Ruin in Time of Stress, Says LaFollette. Bay City, Mich.. Jan. 2. Senator lobert M. LaKollette in his address n the National Guard armory here, efined the progressive movement as landing for a representative govern ment, direct nomination of all offices rou TTnited States senators, and for "e initiative, referendum and recall. "The enormous interests of the mmtry," said the senator, "are a reat peril. The vast interests are "lded together with powerful trength. The inflated capital of bil or.s of dollars means ruin to the ountry in time of depression. Woe nto the honest business enterprises f the country in the time of a real orm. The serious penalties can not e averted. "What the country needs is a re ,?on of tariff, a new standard. The iriff should be based on the difference i the cost of production between this ountry and abroad. The tariff now is ased upon the cast of production plus ip enormous profits of the trusts." Senator LaFollette said that- with le Dingley tariff bill to look up to, iere was fine feeding for the trusts. The speaker said the entire business iterests of the country are today uitrolled by a mere handful of men. ss than 100, who have the power to 'ctate nrices. both purchasing and 'ling. He said he firmly believed 8 majority of the "standpatters" nuld soon "take the blinders off and neup with the progressives." i He made no reference either to 'resident Taft or to -Colonel Roose !t, or to his candidacy for the presl iiry. s How It Works in Wisconsin. I Flint, Mich., Jan. 2. "How Wiscon a Has Prospered Under Its Pro gressive Administration" was the sub ject of an address by Senator LaFol lette in this city yesterday. The speaker said that progressive legisla i tion in Wisconsin has not been de- etructive, as its enemies predicted. Instead," said he, "of driving capi tal out of the state, it has attracted capital more than other states. It has made investment safe for all, instead of speculative for a few. It has been conservative and constructive as well as progressive. Not one of these progressive laws has been overturned by the supreme court of the state and not one has been carried into the fed eral courts." Continuing. Senator LaFollette said: "The general business conditions in Wisconsin conclusively show that in stead of being retarded by progressive legislation, Wisconsin has advanced financially and commercially more rapidly than the country taken as a whole. "In ten years, of progressive legisla tion, the expenses of the state have in creased, but the burden of taxes upon the people has decreased. The prop erty of the state iB paying 21 per cent less taxes in proportion to its value than it did ten years ago." Going into details of the results ac complished, the speaker said: "Hav ing brought the steam railroads of Wis nsin under state control, we pro ceeded to extend the control of the railroad commission over all the other public utilities in the commonwealth. For the year 1910, compared with 1909. notwithstanding reductions in rates and improvement in services, the water utilities increased their net earnings 10.5 per cent, the telephone utilities 6.8 ppr cent, the gas utilities 7.7 per cent and electric utilities 27.5 per cent. Those utilities have even ex ceeded the railroads in the rate at which they have made cash invest ments in new construction. "All of this remarkable develop ment has gone steadily forward not withstanding the railroad commission has -dueed the rates charged in the state by public utilities million dol lars a year, and has required improve ments in the quality of the service, costing those public utilities $125,000 a total saving to the consumers of gas, water and electricity of $375,000 a year. And this is only the beginning. "One example will show the meth ods and results attained by the com mission in its control of public utili ties. In April, 1910, .following two years of careful investigation, the rail road commission, after improving the quality of service, reduced the maxi mum price of electricity in the citv o' Madison fronr-sixteen to fourteen cents per kilowat hour, and adjusted the other rates on a lower basis. The re sult was that the sales of electricity increased 16 per cent, the net earnings increased 24 per cent, the company in creased its investment 22 per cent and the savings to the consumers, compar ing the new rates with the old rates, was $18,308 a year. "In July, 1911, fifteen months later, after such an increase in profits fol lowing the reduction of rates, the company accepted without protest an other reduction to twelve cents; this made a reduction from sixteen to twelve cents per kilowat hour, or a reduction of 2 5 per cent in rates to consumers. "Thus the state commission is dem onstrating the value of its supervision and control, not only to the public, but to the business of the corporation, as well. Wisconsin is teaching the les son that both the people and the in vestors in public utilities may be bene fited by our system of regulation. Has Xotliins to Say. Saginaw, Mich., Jan. 2. After his address here. Senator LaFollette was told of the action taken by the pro gressive Republicans at Columbus. He declined to make any comment. As Pincliot Sees It. Delaware. O., Jan. 2. Gifford Pin chot addressed a large audience here last night. Mr. Pinchot declared that while Senator LaFollette, whose nomi nation he advocated, might not be nominated, he believed the progres sives had gained such ground that they would be a controlling factor In the coming national convention. TRUSTS m iO TO TARIFF. LaFollette Points Out Rapid Growth Since Dingley Law Passed. Saginaw, Mich., Jan. 2. Senator Rob ert M. LaFollette wound up his first day's campaign in Michigan in the in terests of his "progressive" candidacy for the Republican nomination for pres ident, with an address at the Masonic temple here. He discussed the trusts and their relation to the tariff, the money trust as the climax of all, and the necessity of returning the govern ment, as he said, to the hands of the people. He asked the support of all. Republicans and Democrats alike, in do ing this. The Dingley tariff law, he said, by raising the tariffs high enough to elimi nate foreign competition, opened the way for the trusts. In describing the rapid growth since 1897, when the Ding ley law was passed, the senator said trust capitalization had increased over 54 per cent during the four years of the preceding administration, despite the fact that a number of prosecutions had been begun. By that time they had become so strong that they defied pros ecution. "Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay and William McKinley," said Senator La Follette. "would never have spoken of the tariff as they did if there had been no competition. The standpatter to day is the worst enemy of the protec tive system." He declared that a few men in Wall street who have no politics, but who are interested only in business, control the affairs of the country, and that the big problem now is to return control to the people. "If I did not believe the Republican party was the best instrument for get ting control into the hands of the peo ple," he said, "I would leave it. If I believed the Democratic party was a better instrument I would join it. If I thought a new party would be more effective I would form it. But I think the Republican party is the best in strument there is. "There is quite a progressive senti ment all through the north. I do not know of any progressive sentiment or any progressive legislation in the south and the strength of the Democratic party is in the south. If the sentiment of the Democrats of the south were the same as that of the Democrats of the north. I think it would be as good an instrument as the Republican party. "A true American believes in demo cracy. He believes men and women are equal and entitled to an eoual chance. But the Democratic party of the south is not by inheritance that sort of an organization. All the strength of the party in the south is the aristo cracy. The southern Democrat de spises alike the poor white and the negro, and that is not the sentiment that makes for popular government." I. C. C. Issues an Order. Washington, Jan. 2. Interstate carriers must conform to the long and short haul provision of the law in all Instances where their freight tariffs provide for higher rates to intermediate points that are not consuming or producing points of the commodities shipped. General orders were issued by the interstate commerce commission today granting the carriers time until May 1, 1913, to enable them to comply with this requirement. j ADD TO OFFICES. (Continued from Page One.) present building. This was built 25 years ago when immense thick stone walls meant nothing to the contractors and builders. In order to carry out the style of architecture and the value of the building the Rock Island finds it necessary to make the addition sim ilar to the present structure. Need More Room. When the new extension to the of fice building is completed it means that Topeka will be the permanent home of the general headquarters of the second district of the road. At this time the offices of the general mana ger, general superintendent, general passenger agent and other district heads are crowded in the two upper stories of the depot building. In case it was necessary to add to the forces of these offices it would be necessary soon to transfer one of the offices to another city. Only a short time ago the Rock Is land divided the supervision of the general auditor in Topeka and sent his men around over the district to divi sion headquarters. One reason for this change was the fact that the au ditor's office was crowded in an ad joining hotel. Another reason, of course, because the officers wished to try out the more direct auditing in the offices' of the division superinten dents. It has been known for some time in Topeka that in case the forces of the general offices were increased the of fice of the master carpenter and pos sibly the signal supervisor would be shifted to another city. The offices do not have room to expand. With the ample room in the eighty-foot addi tion the officers' will feel that Topeka has twro advantages the logical oper ating situation and the office room and equipment. At this time the Rock Island main tains headquarters in Topeka for the general manager, general superinten dent, general passenger agent, general attorney, assistant general attorney, claim agent, district accountant, trav eling freight claim agent, superinten dent of motive power, engineer main tenance, signal supervisor, master car penter, special agent and minor of fices. Xew Building Across Street. Eventually and Rock Island men do not deny it a general office build ing, fireproof and strictly modern, will be built on the southeast corner of First and Kansas avenue, just across the street from the present building. The Rock Island owns this land and some day will use it for general office headquarters for this district. The plan inaugurated a year ago, dividing the Rock Island Lines into districts, the first, second and third, and establishing the headquarters of the second district in Topeka has proven successful from the start. The road never was so well and economi cally managed. With the meeting of the freight and passenger traffic in this city, the situation of the shops only a short distance from here, and the general accommodations and com fort in the natural center of the state, the Rock Island feels that it has an ideal location in Topeka. The road is growing every day. Al ready more than 8,000 miles of track are operated. It taps the rich south west and enters Chicago and St. Louis for eastern connections. Some day the Rock Island will mean much to To peka. fiOW BEVERIDGE (Continued Frofh Page One.) In conclusion, the governor said: "I hope Senator LuFollette may be retained in the United States senate during his entire life time. If he is made president his influence will be over in eight years, even if he is elect ed for a second term. If he stays in the senate he will be on the fighting line for a quarter of a century yet. I do not believe he can be nominated for the presidency. I do not believe that he can be elected if he is nominated. "If he is really interested in progres sive Republicanism and in the welfare of the Republican party, I propose that he withdraw as a candidate, join me in asking President Taft to with draw and then permit the party to set tle upon Albert J. Beveridge or Theo dore Roosevelt as a candidate for president. I will go with him to either man. This will calm the conditions in the party, supply a candidate who has the respect and confidence of the peo ple, insure an administration that will make for the highest welfare of the country and will present a front to the enemy that will be invincible. "Senator LaFollette, in my opinion, Is not as bad as his enemies say he Is nor as good as he says he is." Will Make No Comment. Holly, Mich., Jan. 2. Senator La Follette will make no comment on Governor Osborn's statement given out from Lansing. "Why should he?" said Secretary Hannan of Senator La Follette's staff this afternoon when asked if the senator would give out a statement. WRECK Ofl THE WABASH Eialit Coaches and the Station House Are Burned. St. Peters, Mo., Jan. 2. Wabash pas senger train No. 1, from St. Louis to Kansas City, left the track at the sta tion here at 11 o'clock last night and from 10 to 14 persons were injured. All but two coaches turned over and eight of them were burned. One of the sleepers crashed Into the little station and toppled it over. The wreckage caught fire and the station was burned. No one was in the place at the time and all passengers are said to have escaped from the coaches which turned over. The engineer and fireman are the most seriously hurt. The engineer was injured internally and the fireman suf fered a broken leg. Many of the pas sengers are said to have escaped seri ous injury miraculously. St. Peters Is 31 miles from St. Louis. Train No. 1 leaves St. Louis at 9:01 p. m. The cause of the accident has not been learned. TO TAKE AWAY POLICE Those at White House Will Be As. signed to Regular Duty. Washington, Jan. 2. Orders have been issued to the 22 policemen now doing inside work at the White House to report to their various precinct cap tains on Wednesday. This move, which came as a shock to the whole police department, is the result of a move ment in the house of representatives for economy. Chairman Burleson of the house committee on the District of Columbia called at the White House a few days ago and suggested o President Taft t that the inside police protection could be done away with. The president, who does not fuel that police protec tion is necessary, agreed. No one at the White House would discuss the order today aside from saying that new arrangeruents have been made for policing the executive mansion and offices after Wednesday. There are about twenty policemen t doing outside d-uty in the grounds sur rounding the White House and it is not improbable that they will also be removed shortly. It is also possible that a patrol of infantry or marines may take the place of the police guards. HOW THE POOL WORKED Packers Were Fined 40 Cents a Hun dred tor Overs hlpraents. Chicago, Jan. 2. Forty cents a hun dred pounds was the penalty assessed against members of the old packers i ,-..-v, m ifil tho'tr allotment l '1.1 nuu I I into any particular territory and the amount was distributed among the members discriminated against. The amounts were paid by check every week after the meetings at which the packers reviewed the shipments of the preceding week. This information regarding the inside workings of the old packers pool be tween 1S93 and 1896 was given y Henry Veeder when he resumed his testimony in the trial of the ten Chi cago packers before United States Dis trict Judge Carpenter today. "Who presided at the meeting of the combination in those days," asked Spe cial Counsel Butler. "Edward J. Marlin, of Arbour and company," was the reply. "What did you call these fines as sessed against members because of over-shipping?" "I referred to them as collections and. payments." "Who represented the packers at wapVIv moptinES?" "For Armour and company, E. J. Marlin and Arthur Meeker. W. D. Miles apepared most of the time for the Armour Packing company. For Cudahy and company there was Michael Cudahv and Robert Byrne. The G. H. Hammond company was represented by Jesse P. Lyman and E. A. Allen. Edward Morris and L. H. Heyman ap peared for Morris and company and Swift and company was represented by Gustavus F. Swift and F.

Swope was reached on the criminal court docket today, Judge Porterfield fixed May 7, 1912 as the date for the beginning of the physician's third trial.

The territory affected was said to aggregate 1,250,000 acres. Many of the fields were alleged to be in such wretched condition as not to be worth cutting.

Marty O'TooIe has written a letter here to the effect that his pitching arm is en tirely well arid that he expects to shine anions the top- notchers during 1912 after the disappointment of the season just closed. The $22,500 pitcher w-rites: "The statements in regard to my arm bein? sore or in bad condition are verv much exaggerated. It feels a free and strong as ever. Early this fall I bowled with a local team but decided to quit to give my arm all the rest possible.

At last the outlaw league seems to be a certainty as a competitor for popularity with the majors. It is expected that next season will see the new league successfully launched, with eight of the principal baseball cities included in the lineup. One of the first steps taken by the local outlaw manager, Billy Xiesen, came when he announced that he may be able to secure Pitcher Mordecai Brown, the famed twirler of the Cubs, as manager. This puts Brown in a particularly envious position, for he will drop into a soft berth either in the one league or the other, with plenty of money as the central attraction either way he jumps.

Joe Rivers of Los Angeles, knocked out Frankie Conley of Kenosha, Wis., in the eleventh round of their scheduled 20-round fight at Vernon. At no time did Conley have the least chance to win, and only once, in the first round when he put a stiff left to Rivers' jaw as the latter was backing away and sent him to the floor, did he land a blow that seriously interfered with Rivera. It was one of the fastest fights be tween featherweights ever seen in the Vernon ring. Rivers fought all around Conley. His favorite combination was a left jab and a vicious right to Con ley's face. In the seventh Rivers had Conley all but out, but could not land on a vital spot. Conley's face was a fearful sight by this time. His eves were nearly closed and he was bleeding- from a half dozen cuts, while Rivers bore but one mark, a slight cut on his nose. In the eleventh, after fighting for a few moments in the center of the ring, Rivers rushed and threw Conley a head back with a terrific right to the jaw. Rivers kept after him and landed left and right to body and face until Con ley fell limp over the ropes, head downward, and suffered, for the first time in his ring career, a clean knock out. Rivers is now in line for a match with the winner of the Attel-Kiibane ht. which occurs at Vernon Febru arv 6.

The indications are here regarded as very strong that the year 1912 will demonstrate, as none of the preced ing years has demonstrated, what the possibilities of the empire-like south west really are. The secretary of agri culture, James Wilson, is confident that its agricultural production may be vastly increased, that the magnifi cent harvest of cotton of which Okla homa shoyved herself capable may be aupncated m other parts of the south west and that there may be domesti cated there certain fruits- which hith erto have come almost exclusively to the United States from the far east or the Mediterranean region, as, for instance, dates. The cultivation of the spineless cactus is, we hear, to be at tempted upon a large scale in the southwest. And if that curious plant is found to possess the qualities claimed for it, not merely its food yielding elements for cattle, but its fiber and its juices with which a per fect waterproof paint can be manu factured, then there should be a very great cultivation of this hybridized plant artificially created by Luther Burbank, the plant wizard of Cali fornia. There are presumably to be consider able expansions of railway systems In the southwest. These are inevitable lf the region will flourish as it can be made to flourish. The state of Texas seems to have worked out a plan by which there may oe iiaimony, and no longer friction, between the railroads and the people of the state. The result of that will prob ably be demonstrated in the year 1912 oy the construction of some seven hundred miles of new railroad, mostly in western Texas, and it is regarded here as not at all Impossible that at least a thousand miles will have been completed, or at least well under way, by the end of this year. In the southwest there is at pres ent no need of additional great trunk lines. Wrhat is essential is the building of branch or feeder lines by means of which territory may be opened up to transporta tion. As these railway lines are con- stucted their handmaidens, the telegraph and telephone, will also accompany them, and it is expected that in the year 1912 there will be a g;'eat increase in the number of telephone plants established throughout the southwest. In the South. It will probably be discovered before the end of the year 1912 that the southern states, including Virginia, will have con structed this year more miles of railway than any of the other political divisions ot the United States. Recently mforma tion carr.e to this city from North Caro lina telling of a splendid awakening of tne people of tnat state to their unsur passed natural resources. The state is almost individual or exceptional in the opportunities tor the development or wealth it offers. There are, in the first place, those great stretches of lowlands swept by ocean breezes, the soil incon ceivably rich and peculiarly adapted to tne cultivation or vegetables and garden truck, for which the great cities of the north, with which this seotion had now been brought into rapid communication by means of a, larse Increase of railway facilities, furnisli an abundant and profit able maricet. There is only the vaguest understanding in the north of the magni tude of the development ot this coastal region of North Carolina. By and by, wnen perfected waterway cOTrvm.unica.tlci by means of the canal etretohini? from the sounds of North Carolina to deep water navigation at tyottouc is open to naviga tion, this section of North Cmrottna will be still further sttmtxla&ed. Then, m the next place,- there era tne crfKuida In mid North Carolina. Soma portions of them are suitable for cotton, -with the) turpen tine industry aeveiopea ana directed along sclenanc ana exrnornla Hues. A few years aaro the only transoorta. tion for the products of the turpentine lorests ox central ana lowfti .worth. Caro lina to the seacoast was by means of flat- boat, stern-wheel river communication from the head waters of the Cape Fear river at Fayettevllle to the mouth of that river. Capital was found with which to construct a railroad paralleling- this river and in this way the industry was (creatlv stimulated. Then, again. North Carolina offers to the capitalists investment m tne great mining:, forest and grazing oppor tunities of the western part of the state. Much timber will be cut In western North Carolina in 1913. and there is to be de velopment of water power converted into electric energy and involving an invest ment of some fifteen million dollars. North Carolina is to have some new rail way construction in 3912, but not as much as the state needs. The great growth of Florida is to be exemplified in 1912 by the construction of some four hundred miles of new railroad, and this peninsula, which was so long neglected, is. within the next five years, to be as thoroughly bisected and cobwebbed by railway systems as any state in the Union. Perhaps in the year 1912 the railway line which Mr. Flagler is constructing as a supplement to his wonderful coast line by means of which communication with Lake Okeechobee by rail may be secured will be completed. In addition to railway const ruction in the south, this year, there are to be very large iavestments of capi tal, much of it obtained from locjl sources, in new industrial and certain agricultural aeti vities exclusive of ti-c great staple of the south, cotton. HOLLAND. i RAILR0AD NEWS. A Pessimistic New Tear on the Bock Island. President Mudge Does Not Seem Encouraged. CUT DOWN SCHEDULES Running Time of Trains Re duced for Economy. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. It is evident from the publicly ex pressed ideas of President Mudge, of the Rock Island Lines, that very little additional funds will tie spent on im provements in the year 1912. In a statement to the Railway Age-Gazette both President Mudge and Vice Presi dent Melcher have expressed their views on the railroad situation lor tne coming year. Their views nave Deen mads public from the general head quarters in Topeka. They follow: H. U. Mudge: Tne railways musr. purchase an average amount of equip ment, first, to provide for replacement of obsolete and destroyed equipment, and second, to take care of the natural increase in traffic that we know must come. The large purchases made re cently are due to the very low prices, the reduction in the price on freight cars from that purchased last year be ing equal to about five years' interest on the money. With this in view, it is easily seen why the railways feel that they can afford to borrow money and purchase equipment, even though it is not needed at present. I do not think the railways will spend more money on maintenance, improvements, atten tions or on construction next year, be cause it does not appear that condi tions will be sufficiently settled to en able financing to be done for this pur pose. I do not regard the business out look for 1912 as being very encouraging. think we may possibly get through without further serious decreases in earnings, but I can see no reason iu expect any increases. Reduce Running Time. I can only see one possibility fot a very material increase in economy, and that is oy reducing the running time of both freight and passenger trains. There has been a considerable saving made on the western lines in this way, hut the tendency of some lines to break away makes it doubtful w hether it can be maintained. 1 do not tninK tins in sults in impairment of the service rendered to the public. I believe slower time freight trains with regular service is better than fast time with a percert age of trains off time." F. O. Melcher, second vice president of the Rock Island Lines, says: "It is essential that the regulation of inter state carriers be concentrated in the federal government rather than sub jected to the diverse views of -49 dif ferent governments. Can this be best done by means of legislation specifying federal incorporation or ny oiner mem-nric-? T do not know, but that the es tablishment of minimum requirements by congress of standard practices and the commitment of the interstate com merce commission to these require ments uttiuld seem to accomplish the ipurpose. T.et ns defer further legislation un til the present and existing laws are intelligently administered uy suvem mont officers. The ability of the in terstate commerce commission to ad minister our present multitude of laws is vet to be demonstratea. "There has been no increased effi niii-v on the part of labor of late years, except as developed by iinprov oi mccninerv installed at the cost of tory. As regards the part-singing, when we realize the turbulent and noisy sur roundings to which many of these rail way men are more or less accustomed surroundings which must, go far towards hindering musical talent, the artistic re sults which Mr. II. B. Dickin, the chorus master, has achieved are little short of astonishing. In their attempts to pro duce the humor which animates Sir Bridge's 'The Goslings' they were com pletely successful. Again, in Eisenhofer's canon 'He who trusts in ladies fair," the full sonorous volume of tone united to an excellently balanced ensemble was enoug-li proof as to the excellent training which they are receiving." HE CLIMBS LADDER Youngest Railroad President Is Former Stenographer. Associate Says. WOULD DISSOLVE ROCK ISIAND. Oklahoma Attorney General Trussed Over isale or Choctaw. Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 2. Charles J. West, attorney general, is planning a petition, to file with District Judge A. II. Huston of Guthrie, wherein he will seek to compel the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railway company to disgorge evidence, which West de clares the company has in its posses sion, and which pliows that the Rock Island company compelled the Choc taw, Oklahoma Gulf company to sell to the former company, several years ago, or else have its main line, from east to west through Arkansas and Oklahoma paralleled by the Rock Island system. "I am confident that the papers and records, that will show this forced sale of the Choctaw to the Rock Island, are on file in the Rock Island's offices somewhere," declared the at torney general, "but this far the com pany has dodged every effort made to produce that much wanted evidence. I expect to get it, however, through a court order." West wants this evidence in his case, pending in the district court here j now, to dissolve the Rock Island Rail- i way company and the Rock Island Coal company, which controls produc- i ing mines in the McAlester district. The original order, seeking the riisso- lution, was filed in September and is similar to that issued in Missouri, during the trial to separate the Stand ard and Wraters-Pierce Oil companies. The Rook Island is resisting the order. In this case West asks that all the records and books of the Rock Island system be brought into court here in order that he may get the evidence that he desires. The company's at torneys have filed an answer to the effect that to comply with the West demand would stop the Xew York stock exchange. West says, when he went to New York to- see the com pany's records, that they were switch ed on ahead of him from New York to Neyv Jersey, then into Delaware and back to New York.

Mrs. S. A. Kingman, widow of the late Justice Kingman, who fell on the sidewalk last Wednesday, died from the effect of the shock and injuries at her home at 635 Monroe street late Monday afternoon. She suffered a broken hip and with the shock she was unable to recover. Mrs. Kingman was one of the pio neers of the state and has witnessed the change from a territory to a state and all other progress of the common wealth. She was one of the few re maining women who came to Kansas during the days of the ruffians to make her home with her husband and fa-mily. She was well known over the entire state and her death will be a loss to a large number of people who have become acquainted with her during her life within the state. Mrs. Kingman was Miss Matiiaa Willis Hartman and she was born in Cattawisa, Pa., May 1, 1S22. She moved to Terra Haute, Ind., in 1SS6 and was married to Samuel A. King man on October 3 0, 184 4.

HE WRUNG HER NECK It was just fourteen years ago that he accepted a position as stenographer in the office of the Burlington and Quincy railroad. At the recent meet ing of the directors of the White Pass and Yukon railroad he was made president and given full poyver to de velop thia important transportation system in Alaska. Mr. Dickeson is in London on busi ness for the road and as yet has not learned of his election, but his friends in Chicago told yesterday why they had chosen him for the position. "Dickeson came to our road from the Burlington only a year ago," one of them said yesterday.

And he found out, too, for he is the most tenacious man I ever have seen." The White Pass Yukon Route lies between Skagway and White Horse, a distance of 150 miles.

Hob-n Rumball was found dead in the attic of her home near here last September. In the morn ine of the day of her death her step mother had whipped her and bound her to the studding of the p.ttic because of an alleged falsehood the rirl had told her. It was on& of the hottest days of the year in his vicinity and the con sequent heat m the attic was increased by an incubator in operation. The testimony was that Lewis came home in the evening and went to the attic where he berated the girl for her behavior and made fun of her position. Lewis admitted this but denied that he had used force on the girl. Medical ex amination showed, however, that the child's neck had been broken in two places and in such a manner that, ac cording to the physicians, it could not have been caused by hanging. Dennin?

I tried everything I erer heard of but nothing cured him. At last I snt for Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After four treatments his face began getting better and in three weeks' treatment he was cured.

The ointment softened the hard skin and it could be removed without pain. In a week's time my foot was much better, now it is entirely well. "For cuts and bruises I think washing them with Cuticura Soap and applying Cuti cura Ointment is the best thing on earth.

FTJLIi LEASED WIRE REPORT OF TiiX n'tATED PRESS. The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news r ganlxaUon for th-j exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received in The State Jcur nl buildine over wires for this sole pur pose. Natural gas undoubtedly is an ad mirable and dependable fuel for equa torial regions. The December that hag just passed into history-was the wettest one that Topeka has ever experienced, literal ly, not liquorally. speaking. Nor is Mr. Finchott taking advan tage of his speech-making opportuni ties in Ohio to apologize to the people for the way he tried to mislead them in the Controller Bay affair. It's appropriate that the scientists and historians of the world should have lield a joint convention, as they did re cently at Buffalo, N. Y. Both ore gropers after facts which they often miss. With the prices of shoes going after some of the aviation records for height, why doesn' some arbiter of fashion decree that going bare-footed is the proper thing to do in the summer time, of course. Poor ammunition for the "antis" is to be found in the fact that 112 of the prisoners in the federal penitentiary have been of "model" habits during thei. entire lives so far as abstinence from the use of tobacco or liquor is concerned. j And with severe weather over the most of the North American conti nent, not a single word comes from Medicine Hat. Again it is asked: What has become of the town that has made Canada, and its province of Alberta famous? Representative Underwood, the Democratic leader in the lower branch of congress, is suffering from an at tack of appendicitis, induced, perhaps, by his over-playing of politics in jam ming the Sherwood pension bill through the house. Kdifying: New Year's revelers in San Francisco were entertained by professionals who danced the Grizzly Bear and the Turkey- Trot. These were too tame for the New Yorkers. It took the Hula Hula dance of Hawaii to satisfy their cravings. Those New York suffragettes who wre too late with their suggestion to jjvernor Dix that he mention their cause in his annual message to the legislature were probably delayed through over-zealousnes on their part to get their hats on straight. Kansas reputation for occasionally doing things in the reverse of the usual order seems to be deserved. A club cf bachelors in the western part of the state is maKing plans to wage a partic ularly active campaign for wives for its members during the coming Leap Year. There will be no need for any furth er political wrangling in Kansas con cerning selections for two of the im portant offices. At their annual con vention, the chiropractors of the state endorsed Mr. Capper for governor and Mr. Stubbs for the United States sen ate. Everything is pointing to a most prosperous year for the people of the United States during 1912. Even the most rabid of the financial pessimists are pulling in their horns. And once again are the prospects good for smashing that bugaboo that a presi dential year is a bad one for business. Great stress is laid in insurgent quarters on the growing popularity of LaFollette because of the audiences he is drawing in Ohio. And yet these same insurgents insisted that the won derful crowds which greeted Presi dent Taft in Kansas last fall were without political significance whatso ever. Admiral Dewey is such an enthusiast for peace that he wants the United States to construct at least four new battleships a year so that peace may be maintained. It's a good thing that the seas are broad. Else they would soon be so filled with battleships that there wouldn't be room on them to han dle the commerce of the world. Champ Clark's pronunciamento that a precedent decrees against any man announcing his candidacy for the pres idency, may explain the silence of T. R. in this particular. Despite the opinions of some of the Wall street gamblers in the premises, however, it is still a good bet that the colonel has no intention of permitting some of his "Xriends" to force him into the race. CHAPTER LXIH. Politics. It looks as though we had a presi dent in the White House that is al most as strenuous as Roosevelt. Prob ably no president ever made such a remarkable record as a traveler and as an easy one who returns almost as fresh as when he leaves on a journey as President Taft. Now it is read that Taft shook hands Monday with 8,092 people against a previous showing of between 5,000 and e,000. The dispatches read: "The greatest throng that has passed the portals of the White House at any New Year reception in recent years greeted the President and Mrs. Taft Monday." That is certainly shaking some hands, and if the president was not weary and worn, as W. A. W. says he is, he certainly had reason to be. The insurgent papers are now print ing an editorial from Henry J. Allen of the Wichita Beacon wherein Mr. Allen demands that Theodore Roose velt come forward and save the coun try. Mr. A. is for almost anybody who can beat Taft. He is not for Our President. About two years ago he came out in a statement in which he said President Taft could not carry a Kansas township. Well, since that time the president has done many, many fine, brave progressive things and con tributed effectively and practically to many broad gauged and economic poli cies, advocated by this same Henry Allen, and yet Mr. Allen has nothing favorable to say of the president. Mr. Allen in many respects resem bles the typical insurgent; that is, this sort of a politician is for "any one who can beat Taft." Just why such are opposed to Taft, who has made a sane, sensible, progressive president, is hard to find out. The conduct and conver sation of these insurgents reminds one of the fable of the. wolf and the lamb: A wolf, hungry for mutton, tender or tough, and wanting some excuse to slaughter a friendly lamb which he saw standing in the water in the shal low ford below him, and desiring an excuse for the slaughter of the inno cent one, said "Why do you muddy the water so that I can scarcely drink it?" "How can I muddy the water for you to drink when I am down the stream?" "Well." replied the wolf, "your mother, Mrs. Ewe, made the water muddy once when I was trying to get a drink." So having no excuse handy, the wolf determined to attack the lamb on gen eral principles and try to be consistent with a wolfish instinct for gore and blood. Amid all the political disturbances in the air. Colonel Roosevelt seems to still pursue the sensible course he has followed for many months. The Colonel has certainly been plied with questions, many of them impertinent ones, and questions which sensible people should not ask him. The interview printed in this paper today from New York is in teresting and along the true Roose veltian lines. The colonel is a great man and a popular idol. There is no denying that. He uses the English language in an unmistakable manner. He has a splendid reputation for truth and veracity, and yet, some people who pretend to be his friend3 will not ap parently believe him when he says that he is not a candidate and does not wish his friends to complicate matters by trying to get delegates for him to the next Repubilican national convention. The great Ohio conference which was supposed to bring Robert LaFollette clearly out into the lime light and arena as the man to beat Taft has come and gone and what do you think? It did not even endorse LaFollette; in fact, the vote was overwhelmingly against endorsing him. Here is La Follette. the back bone and sinew, and, the pride and hope of the whole in surgent movement getting a black eye at a critical moment. The vote against him was 52 to 32. And to think of it! There was r-c lution presented at that Ohio meeting yesteraay reading as follows- tci,. etc., that LaFollette. who is the living emDomment ot the principles of the progressive movement and the logical candidate to carry them to successful fruition, etc." Even this resolution was voted down SI to 11. Governor Osborne of Michigan comes out today in favor of "Roose velt or Beveridge." It is related that the governor had prepared a speech to introduce LaFollette, but he missed his train and having missed it he now says, upon more mature deliberation and a sober second thought: "As between Taft and LaFollette I am for Taft. The LaFollette style of campaign tends to arouse the passions of the people and make for a condition of public intolerance which is always worse than personal or individual in tolerance because it has so much more might as a. force. "In Senator LaFollette s speeches and writing I do not think he distinguishes between honest men in big business and dishonest men. "We have got to have big business in this country if we are to compete in the manufactures and and transactions of the world. But big business should not be permitted to oppress the people." The interview, on the first page of thi paper, is well worth reading. Chapter LX1V tomorrow. Changed a Confederate Rill. David Kilpatrick, an employee of the department of public works, was walking along the street when a shab bily dressed man stopped him. "I've got a $50 bill here," said the strp.nger, taking one out of his pocket. "But I'm not acquainted in Yonkers. and I'm afraid they'd think I stole it if I went into a store or bank to get it changed. Could you break it for me? I'd give you $2." Ki'i patrick had only $5 in his pocket, but if the stranger would come home with him he would get the money and accommodate him. But they found Mrs. Kilpatrick had just paid the rent, and there was only to left in the house. "Well, let me have that and the other $5 and I'll leave the fifty," said the stranger. "I'll have some other money tonight, and I'll come around and we will straighten up." Kilpatrick still is waiting for the stranger to come around. And when he went into a Riverdale avenue deli catessen to do his shopping with1 the bill Jacob Abrahamson, the proprietor, looked at the bill and then looked at Kilpatrick. "I wouldn't give you 5 cents worth of sauerkraut for that; it's a Confed erate bill," he said. So it w as. Yonkers dispatch to New York Sun. JOVRNAL ENTRIES Not many folk have to try very hard to avoid doing any thinking. Some people use the obituary notice of a relative as a medium for telling of their own importance. A good pedestrian these days is not necessarily a strong walker. He is nimble at dodging autos and trolley cars. The man who is able to steal a mar ried woman's love from her husband doesn't get anything to brag of in the love line. Man's unreasonableness is also shown bv.the fact that not a few of them get angry at their typewriting machines for mispelling words.

Banker Morse has an obese chance of witnessing another revision of the calendar. A-side from the fact that he is a federal prisoner, he has a few lit tle side lines such as arterio-sclerosis, Bright's disease and heart disease. In fact, the chances that he will ever cast another vote against Taft are extreme ly remote. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont demands $200 per colyum for her suffrage in terviews; and, although she could mak- up a major portion of the col umn by signing her full name, she will save protest fees by drawing checks on her regular account, rather than upon the newspapers. In. other words, suffrage interviews are classed with "light comics" in the newspapers, and newspapers do not pay $200 per colyum for light comics. And, if Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont sticks to her New-years resolution, the read ing public will be annoyed but slightly with her interviews. A Chinese republic will result in a Chinese legislature. How, for the love of Mike, can a Chinaman move the previous question, a suspension of the rules or an adjournment without pre vious practice? It took Joe Doliey two sessions to get the fine points of the previous question. The gas pressure was so low Sunday that some of the churches suffered annoyance. So there is hope of a Re form in gas service. Hon. Doliey says, in his annual re port, that "money is in strong de mand." You have to give it to Hon. Doliey; some of his guesses are mighty nearly correct. When the British consul to Persia was annoyed by roughnecks, a thou sand British soldiers were fired into Persia ,by the nearest route; the fact that an American, with his wife and two babies, are fighting their way out of the infected district, has aroused a mild protest in some of the American newspapers.

SAYS UNCLE GAV Have faith in your fellows, but don't forget to set the time lock. A belief in the integrity of the other man doesn't necessarily mean that you are bound to lend him money without se curity. I am no pessimist. I believe that at bottom every man is decent, and that he has for every one of his shortcomings a fairly good working excuse that appears to him a reason. I believe that the average of honesty is getting higher because most of us are learning that honesty pays aivi dends. I believe that the day is com ing when we'll all be a little better than the best of us are today. But I don't believe that in order to be an optimist one has to be an easy mark, or that the virtue of faith in humanity should make one a victim. Usually, if you treat your neighbor well, he will treat you well, but there's always the chance that he won't un derstand the situation, and to elimin ate the risk of unpleasant conse quences, it behooves you to exercise caution. There isn't a thief at large who couldn't be dissuaded from his unlawful calling if the right thing were said to him at the right time. Never a murder would have been done if the brain directing the bloody hand could have been made to grasp the other side of the case. Decency, fair play, loyalty and a certain circumscribed honesty are the common, workable virtues that keep a world of men from each other's throats, and there never was a pick pocket or a cutthroat who did not find it necessary to excuse himself for do ing violence to one of these. This con dition speaks w-ith no uncertain voice for a better future, and he is a bilious pessimist, indeed, who can not see hope in such a situation. On the other hand, knowing that none is perfect, it is no less than folly to let yonr faith in humanity blind you to the fact that there are thieves and thugs abroad. You can't' expect top much of your fellows. You're doubtless a four-square sort of citizen yourself, but you must admit that there are times when you have your lapses. The leaven of righteousness exists in every one. but not in every one of this generation has it done its work. Have faith in your fellows, but don't forget to set the time lock.

It was the first snow of the season, and therefore not much of a snow just about enough to call out the cats and rabbits and encourage them to leave a. million tracks on the white blanket. When Miss Ida Benham looked from her window in the morning she uttered a long-drawn "O-h-h-h!" at the sight. When she got downstairs she "O-h-h-h-ed!" again, and encour aged by the smile of Aunt Betty's hired man she clasped ner nanus aiiu exclaimed: "Oh, this is what I was waiting tor: "Yes." "To go rabbit hunting!" "You'll get a million of "em." The first snow in the city is not like the first snow in the country. There is a difference in the whiteness, and when there are tracks in the backyard a citv man must admit that they were made by torn cats instead of rabbits. Miss Ida was eighteen, but Imd nev er seen a real raDDit tracK. .eunei had she ever met a hired man. bhe had seen dog tracks and met gruff policemen in Central park. "I shall put on my shortest skirt," she said to her aunt as they ate break fast, "and my thick shoes and that old hat I brought along, and I shall hunt down as many as six rabbits." Bless you, child!" was the reply. 'I may" hunt for five miles around." 'So you may." 'I may not get back till dark." 'But don't get all tired out." 'My soul!" exclaimed the girl, as she jumped up. "I haven't any gun and there isn t any time to write brother Ben to send one up!" "But you won't need one. dear. You take a club with you. You track a rabbit into a hollow log and stand by w-ith vour club raised to hit him on the head as he looks out to see who you are." Which information went to show that, providing there were enough rab bits and clubs and hollow logs and girls in the country, the shipments of dead bunnies to the city market would av erage five carloads per day. "Are they willing to be killed?" asked Miss Ida, as she thought of the terrific slaughter. "I believe they are." "And they don't fight back?" "Never." Half an hour later the short-skirted and old-hatted young huntress, -vho had been provided with a stout club by the hired man. started out on the trail. That is. she started out on a hundred trails, but after a time struck a single one and followed it across the fields and into a bit of w-oods. The rabbit had had his circus and was bound for his home in a hollow log. Yes, the trail led directly to a log with a cavity in the end, and now it was business. Miss Ida walked on tip-toes. She breathed hard. She almost bit her tongue. She gripped her club till her fingers ached. Straight into that hollow log led trail. She was sure of her quarry. That rabbit could no more escape her than the steel trust can escape Uncle Sam. He would hear and smell her. He would peck out and smash! Then the girl found her knees trem bling and her breath coming in gasps, and she turned and ran for the high way. It was too much for her. She felt that she must have help. The hunter that sights his first deer has the same panicky feeling. Mr. Brisbane Childs was being driven from the. railroad station to his mother's house. He had come down on the early morning train, so as to take advantage of the tracking snow. He had just entered a law firm as the junior' partner and his legal erudition told him that the best time to hunt wolves and panthers and rabbits was when there was snow on the ground. "Hey, you! Hey! Hey!" Mr. Childs had been looking straight ahead. He now looked to the right, and ordered the driver to halt. Run ning across the white field was a girl with a club in her hand and her hat joggled over on her ear. Was she flee ing for her life before some savage ani mal? Had she aroused a nest of tramps in the woods? "Say! Say! Say!" she gasped as she drew nearer. "Yes, yes." answered Mr. Childs as he leaped from his carriage with all his chivalry aroused. "I I've got a rabbit in a hollow log back there!" "Yes, yes." "He's a big one a monster. I don't want him to get away." "I see. You want help." Mr. Childs vaulted over the fence, extended his hand to Miss Ida and to gether they ran for the trees and the log. The spot was reached in three or four minutes, and not another word had passed between the two. The law yed noted the tracks of the rabbit, and then motioned the girl to be ready with her club. As soon as she was sta tioned he walked to the other end of leg. Then he sat down on it and be gan to laugh. He sr.t up and laughed. He bent, over and laughed. He slap ped his leg and laughed. "Sir!" He looked up through his tears at a girl standing very stiff and digni fied before him. "Sir!" He pointed to the far end of the log and chuckled and gurgled. Miss Ida moved along until she could see. The log was hollow from end tn end, and her .-bbit had entered at one end and passed out at the ether long be fore she had taken up his trail. As she turned again the young man was making heroic efforts to suppress his laughter. "Sir!" "I I be? your pardon, but it's so funny." "Oh, it is!" "You you thought he was in there!" "And lie was!" "But you see see "And you scared him out, and I don't thank you for it!" Mr. Childs sobered up and looked up penitently, and all at once the girl saw the humor of the situation and began to laugh, and finally said: "What a goose I've made of myself! I never thought to look at the other end of the log. You see, it's the first time I ever went rabbit hunting. I thank you for your kindness." When Miss Ida had reached home and told of her adventure her aunt asked: "What name did you say he gave?" "Why why, he didn't give aiy!" "But you gave your name?" "Never thought of that!" "I'm afraid your mother "She's got nothing to do with it. She knows nothing about rabbit-hunting. She doesn't know how excited one gets when one gets a rabbit into a hollow log." "But the young man?" "Oh, he was excited, too. When he wasn't excited he was laughing. I'm sure he is a nice young man. He'd have given me his card if he'd thought of it." "Well, I dunno!" sighed Aunt Betty. "Don't know what?" "Why, he'll call, and he'll admire you, and you'll both fall in love and be en gaged and married, and your mother will lay it all to me, and and But Miss Ida's mother didn't. It is said that she was quite satisfied with the match, and so was the rabbit. Copy righted, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. Can you work when you want to? Are you able, when troubles and anxie ties harass you, to fling yourself into work that must be done,, and th-us dull or even completely forget these harass ments? As long as you can say "yes" to these queries, my friend, I don't think you have any right to complain of your lot. One of the most wonderful lines that Elizabeth Stuart Phelps ever wrote was this: "Too useful to be lonely and too busy to be sad." Slie was writing of a woman who had many of the ordinary reasons for unliap piness, but who was not unhappy be cause she was "too useful to be lonely and too busy to be sad." I was quoting that line to an invalid friend the other day and she sighed. "No one knows better than 1 how true that is," she said. It's Just because 1 haven't the strength to keep off anxiety and discontent that way, because I can't banish loneliness by being useful, and sadness by being busy, that I am so un happy. I used to think my life wao pretty hard when I had to work all the time, but now I know how very fortunate I was then. No one who has the health and strength to work and keep off un happiness that way knows what real sadness is." To all who think their lives are sad be cause of sorrow or disappointment, be cause they can't have things as they once planned them, and because they have to work very hard, I bear her mes sage "No one who has the health and strength to work and keep off unhap piness that way knows what real sad ness is." Half of your grievance you see the necessity of working hard is your great est blessing. "Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not," says Charles Kingsley. "Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, ami a hundred virtues which the idle never know." Perhaps tin's morning you faced the routine of a busy, exacting day with re volt and discontent. Perhnps you said: "If I only didn't have to work." Y'ou will remember tomorrow morning, won't you, that in the necessity for meet ing the exactions of your day, you hnve the greatest antidote for worry and dis content and disappointment that the world has ever known, and that in the ability to meet these exactions you have a blessing which many thousands of your fellow beings envy you with all their hearts. Perhaps you axe of another class of those who are able to work, but are not obliged to. Then you are not so fortunate as those who have something they must do every day, whether they like it or not, but if you will, you may still be much more fortunate than those who cannot be busy, no matter how much tliey may wisli to be. For you, Mrs. Phelps' great line is not so much a reminder of your blessings, as a suggestion of the possibilities or your life. It tells you the good news that you need not be sad or lonely ever any more. If you do not wish to. It Is a bugle call to you to find the corner of the world's work which needs you and be "too useful to be lonely and too busy to be sad." Pox ill a Farmhouse. The Meadowbrook Hunt club gal loped off behind the pack at 8 o'clock from Piping Rock. The hounds were sniffing through a field when up jumped a large red fox. The pack made after h1m in full crv, and on came the men and women riders. The fox did not run well. It was evident that he had fed recently. After a run of a mile he was in full view of the pack, and the riders were not far behind. He headed toward East Norwich, and all the while hounds and horses wore gaining on him. Nearing the outskirts of East Nor wich the fox raced on the farm of Davis Weeks. Mr. Weeks recently sold his place and was packing up to move. Ha and his wife were on the fear porch when the fox leaped the porch banisters and dived through a lower window into the house. With a quick turn he bolted into the hall, ran up stairs, scampered across other rooms to the front hall, down the stairs and out of a front window. Then came the pack. The leader bounded through the window Just as the fox had done and followed his trail through" the house and out of the front window. The other dogs dashed through an open door and took up the scent in the house, racing through It and then out the front window The hunters now were all about the house For a few seconds they seemed to lose their bearings, but the bay of the dogs in the front again brought them galloping after the pack. The fox was fast losing ground. For a mile farther on he led the dogs. Then the leader overtook him. New York World. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Even the burglar is apt to be a quiet easy-going sort of fellow. Many a reputation has been blasted without the aid of high explosives. Many a man loses his health making money to go abroad and regain it. Time is money, and some fellows are hopeless spendthrifts with their time. A man is more apt to love a woman for what she is than for what she isn't. No woman is so economical as to want to make her wedding dress do twice.

St. Elmo LevVis addressed th Savings bank section of the American Bankers' association at its annual con vention In New Orleans. As usual his 'talk went right to th point viz., the duty owed to the public by the savings banks. and how thev should perform that duty by advertising and educating the people to the necessity of saving money. Mr. Lewis said: "The sa-vings be ik man has accepted the principle that he is a servant of tne public only as a theory. The public h;.s looked upon the savings bank idea us a good thing for those who need it, but haven't been able to see that they need it. "Properly managed, and realizing to the fullest extent its real object, the savim:' bank idea can prevent a percentage of pauperism, defer the day of old-age pen sions, etc. "The savings bank Is generally willing to fight for deposits, to carry on an ag gressive campaign of education among those who need it most, provided they do not hurt their dignity, sacrifice the ap proval of the conservative Idea of man agement which Is embalmed In the wiinJ int? sheet of sacred tradition." Mr. Lewis recommended the raising "f a fund for general publicity, every s.r. Ings bank contributing its share, which would represent only a few dollars er annum to each one. That Is a good ldn. Work that will Influence men not to invest money in wild cat schemes but to sae their savings will be good work. But before the national cnmpnlcn Idea is undertaken why not localize It? Why shouldn't the savings banks In each com munity unite in a campaign of education In their home newspapers, not once a month, but two or three times a week. Such a campaign would not cost a great deal of money, even If every newspaper in each community were used. In New York, where there are many newspapers, the cost of running one col umn once a week in every newspap-r would represent fi.Vl. or tWJ.iW a year. This would give a la.OoO-liiie contract In each newspaper and six and one-hiilf million people would be talked to week, and the cost to each savings bank in the city would not be very great. This plan can be worked out In everv community in the Vnlted States, nnd when it is. savings banks will Increase their deposits enormously and multiply their influence a hundred times.

The encouraging feature in the entire matter, so far as Judge Hook is con cerned, is that everybody, in discussing the aippointment, is going on the as sumption that Judge Hook's nomination is already settled within the president s mind. A telegram from the public utilities commission of Kansas City, addressed to the president of the United States, was received here. The telegram was in support of Judge W. C. Hook of the federal court for appointment by President Taft to the supreme bench. It Is indirectly an answer to the pro test of the Oklahoma railroad com missioners to President Taft. The telegram follows: We commend Judge V. C. Hook for appointment to the supreme court. His public acts and his judiciary rec ord, his high standing in this com munity, and his reputation for fairness and honesty have met with the ap probation of the community generally. The general opinion here seems to be that if appointed, he will nu tne posi tion with fairness and honesty. This is not based upon the approval or dis approval of any particular decision, but because it is generally thought that he is the kind of man who should be in that court. "THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMIS SION, By J. A. Harzfeld, president; F. E. Parker, C. A. Sumner, Clyde Taylor, counsel. KANSAS ASKED TO HELP. Minnesota and Oklahoma liequest Protest Against Hook. The Kansas utilities commission has been asked by the Minnesota and Ok lahoma railroad commissions to co operate in the protest against the ap pointment of Federal Judge Hook to a place on the United States supreme court bench by President Taft. Mem bers of the Kansas commission were not at their offices today, so it is not known what course they will take in the matter. The Kansas commission has co operated with the Oklahoma commis sion in railroad rate cases before the interstate commerce commission and now, has a two cent fare case con tingent to the Nebraska case in the courts. As the Judge Hook appoint ment is protested because of his ad verse decision in the Oklahoma two cent fare case, it is expected that the Kansas commission will be interested. The governor of Nebraska has pro tested against the Hook appointment, as has many reform statesmen and commissions in the west. Governor Stuhbs, when asked today if he would protest against the Hook appointment said he had not considered the matter as vet from that angle. It is known n,0't tv.o rrnvcrnor. at the time the last supreme court appointment was made by the president, favored a supreme court judge from his state for the place above any federal court judge. standTng oh the flag.

REVELRY COMES HIGH Cost of Xew Year Celebration Placed at $560,000 in New Vork. New fork, Jan. 2. Conservative estimates by leading hotel men of the cost of New Year's eve celebration in New York Sunday night: Number of persons dining in the big hotels and restaurants, 50.000. Diners at an average cost of 15 a plate. $250,000. Wines and liquors. $150,000. Tips to waiters, $25,000. Taxicabs and other vehicles, $75,000. Cloakroom and hat check tips, $10, 000. Total, $560,000. The record for stamp sales for the month of December of any year in the history of station "A," now known of ficially as "North Topeka station," was broken last month. The stamp sales for December, 1911. according to the report made out today by A. E. Robin son, postmaster, amounted to $1,243. 8. This is over $100 more than the stamp sales lor December, 1M10, and is great er than the sales for the same month of any previous year. The sales for December, 1910, were $1,138.16, or $10o.6i less than the sales for the past month. This means an increase of 9 per cent. This shows that people are having confidence in the North side. The en rollment in the First ward schools also breaks previous records. Real estate men say that the demand for houses, both as renting and investment has been greater the past year than ever be fore. So the sentiment on the North side today is that 1912 will be prosperous and happy for the First ward.

Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world, said last night he would sign an agree ment today to fight Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, at Windward, Nev., either in June or July. Johnson's end in the bout according to the agreement will be $20,000 and a third interest in the moving pictures. The champion has stood out for tan 000, win, lose or draw for his next nght. He realizes now that it is next to impossible to obtain this amount. Johnson believes the present ar rangement will amount to the same thing. Flynn Plans Many Fights. Flynn is rushing here to get himself into shape for several other matches he has in sight. Already he is signed to battle three different men and his manager is negotiating for several other matches. On January 15 in To ronto Flynn meets Al Xubiak. Feb ruary 22 he is billed to take on Al Palzer before Jimmy Coffroth's club in Frisco and two weeks late he is to get Bombardier Wells in New York. Tim O'Rourke is trying to swing Flynn to fight Palzer in the east. This Curley is giving serious consid ation, for while he feels very friendly to Coffroth, he believes Flynn and Palzer will draw a bigger gate in New York than in the west, especially since Palzer has made his reputr.tion in Gotham. New York is hailing Pal zer as the greatest white hope and if Flynn can trim him it will mean the support of the east in his fight with Johnson. n And vv Jest Started!

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOUENAL JANUARY 1912 FIGHT OVER CAT Meriden Takes Sides and Town Row Starts. McKinney Threw Dead Animal Out of Window. A It REST CAUSES ST1K. Justice Fines Him and Orders Feline Buried. Hank, Homes and Churches In vaded by Quarrel. Every country town ha? its trouble, tut Meriden. 14 miles northeast of To reka, has a real live contagious town war that has made the old weather (prophets neglect their early spring and record flood predictions and devote their time to the issues nearer tVu-ir own heart. It was just a homeless, frail and sickly kitten that started Me riden's contention. It threatens to dis- inrjltetrV iflVflllP tVlO POmC find the churches and promises to be an j jssue in the municipal election nei spring. No one particularly blames the poor homeless cat. Kven the opposition concede that C. C. McKinney. the tel ephone manager did a charitable act when he gave the kitten a bed under a warm stove. But when McKinney found the next day that the cat had died, he failed to bury the feline. Then trouble started. One cold day a sick kitten, shivering from cold and hunger, climbed the stairs to the office of the Meriden tele phone company: For an hour it cried nnd meowed for help. None came, but the cat never despaired. It continued its serenade through the long, dismal afternoon and its pleadings for help came right from the heart. Then Mc Kinney heard the wails and carried the cat to a place beside the warm stove. He bought the waif a bottle of milk and saw that it was provided with such comforts as the office afforded. As evidence of appreciation, the lonely lcitten made love to the telephone oper ators until long into the night. Then it returned to the warm stove and. the howl of milk. Near the stove the kit ten found a nice warm spot, curled up and went to sleep. Cat Dies. Trouble Starts. The next morning- the cat was dead. McKinney threw the body into the street, forgot the incident and an hour later was occupied with his own troubles. It was nearly noon when 'Lish" Taylor, the town marshal, rambled into the telephone office. In a voice that frightened the operators, he told McKinney he was under arrest. The telephone man wanted to debate the matter, but Taylor was backed by a badge as large as a dinner plate, the authority of the court and a wholesome resoect for law and order. McKinney went to the town police court. Here 'Squire Warner fir.ed the local hello magnate $2.40 for fracturing a. town ordinance against "throwing dead animals in streets, alleys and public highways." Then Judge Warner rapped gently on his own dome of thought and handed down a sunplemen tnry decree that should stand in favor able comparison with records of jurists from the days of Solomon to the record of Judge Land is. Fine Not J'uiii.-hmont Enough. "This prisoner," quoth his honor, solemnly feeling the dignity of his juu, "is herewith and hereoy ordered ana directed to bury the cat in one hour irom the issuance of this decree. Court is adjourned." Now, McKinney doesn't bury cats. That order from the court grated deeply on his sense of justice. Kph Wagner, cashier of the town bank, heard the court s order and believed that his friend and neighbor had been wronged. So Wagner signed McKin ney's bond and the telephone: man re fused to bury the homeless, friendless kitty. Then Judge Warner's friends were offended. They wanted to know what in tarnation was the good of making laws when people wouldn't obey them and this faction said unkind things about McKinney and his fol lowing. That was just the little cloud of dust that started a veritable tornado in the iuiet, easy going village. Around the family heating stoves that aight peo ple forgot the tariff agitation, the al leged LpFollette boom and the pro posed tariff reform. They discussed hut one subject. That was McKinney and the order of the highly respected and trustworthy police court. One man said it was unjust. The next day he ordered the telephone tak en from his home. The news spread and another hello box was canceled. McKinney's friends came to the res cue. Some of them had never owned a telephone, didn't want a telephone nd didn't need one. But their friend was being crucitied rignt before their eyes. So they ordered telephones in their homes. Rank Gets Into How. That wasn't all. Epli Wagner was having a hard time explaining his po sition to the board of directors of the Meriden State bank. The board was divided and the bank tellers and book keepers and collectors and ihe janitor took issue on the cat fight. It is said that one of the heavy stockholders up braided Wagner without stint or mercy, threatened to withdraw from the institution and establish a bark that would stand in wholesome re spect of the law and the courts To these remarks McKinney's friends re plied that the court's order was unjust anil no self respecting citizen would obey such an order. So it went. Former friends refused to speak as they met on the i-iroet. The t:wn newspaper, its editor dyed in the uncertainty of the game, evaded the issue in his columns. Right well did he know that his editorial opinion should he decide to have one would lose subscribers either way he jumped. But the war ..pt going. Each day new recruits were added to the righting forces and neither side refused to yield. McKinney would not bury the cat. Wag ner would not apologize to his board of directors. Judge Warner refused to re verse his own decision and ne'ther fac tion would yield one inch. But Where Is the Cat? There is only one hope. Next spring the town will hold an election for the selection of city officials. Both sides arc said to have slated men for the municipal jobs from mayor down to street commissioner and collector of dog tax. The dead kitten and its future renting place, is the one issue on which the belligerent citizenry will meet and fight it out for keeps. Both sides are hopeful. Their vindication lies in the sacred ballot. Every man and woman on the townsite will go to tlie polls elec tion day. rain or shine. Already they fcave established opinions concerning the disposition of the cat and the virtue of the court. And the results will be worth watching. POLITICAL GOSSIP There is talk of redisricting the con gressional districts of the state. The Third district has one hundred thousand more people than the Kighth and yet the Kighth is ten thousand larger than the i oiirth. These inequalities are unfair, argue the political economists. The Fourth. Fifth and Kighth are tne "short" districts. The I?tl0 census gives the population of the eight Kansas con gressional districts as follows: First district. -I8.'i:; Second district, 4.2Xj; Third district. i'tjI.14S; Kourtn dis trict. 10.S.12: Fifth district. lO.lSi; Sixtl. district.

Henry Allen, in his Wichita Beacon, comes out for Roosevelt as the choice and hope of the Republican party for this year's national campaign. He classes Da Fohette as a radical insurgent and Taft as an extreme regular. He declares that the insurgent and regular chief tains are "looking further ahead than the next na tional convention" and want to win at the polls in November. Therefore, he believes .i8t they will give the nomination to Roosevelt as the only Republican who can win. He says tiie people are for Teddy. He does not criticise Taft or the Wisconsin senator, but merely points to toe rough rider colonel as the only liv ing Moses. MAKE WAR REAL Plans Xow Arc to Make Men 1 Cat Without Tables. Washington, Jan. 2. Every year the battle practice in the American navy more closely approximates the condi tions of actual warfare. In the spring practice of the Atlantic fleet this year the, idea of ridding a ship as far as possible of combustible materials and woodwork that might cause splinters in action is to be carried out. The plans contemplate the removal of all wooden boats, the bunks and the wooden furniture. Not even the mess tables will Vie left and the blue jackets will have to eat their meals squatting tailor fashion on deck. More damage and loss of life has re sulted on shipboard in time of war from suffocating tires and flying splint ers than from shot and shell wounds, therefore it has been decided to de termine just how much woodwork can be dispensed with when a shaft clears to. action. The spring practice of the fleet in the West Indian waters, with Guanta namo as the base, w ill occupy ten days more than two months, beginning Jan uary 10. After that is completed the big ships will come north to the south ern drill grounds off the Chesapeake capes for the regular battle practice. To Increase Copper Production. Butte. Mont.. Jan. 2.

Cops Invade Sacred Precincts of Heinz Flats. New Year Celebrated as Usual in Police Court. Such an affair. Even the blood of the officers was stilled in their veins unpon discovering the tirst clue. Two of ilorris Jenkin s valuable assistants, one a blue coat and the other a gum shoe artist, while in the vicinity of Eighth and tjuincy streets heard her scream. They started in pursuit. L'pon reaching the alley at the Heinz ice cream factory they found traces of blood. Going back into the alley they found more. They went around behind the factory and lost all trace of the victim or the assasin. While continuing the search they saw a woman dart across the hafl in the third story of the flats and pursued her. They finally located her in com pany with other women and began ap plying the third degree. Naturally the ladies became indignant, frightened and called their husbands. The mys tery was still unsolved when Peter Heinz was called into the game to assist by permitting the sleuths to search his basement. Peter told the oliicers that he intended to eat goose for New Year's dinner and that it had been killed in the alley Sunday even ing. One of the employees of the ice cream factory did the killing and dragged the fowl around in the snow to allow the blood to drip be fore carrying it in the house. Exit Copper and back to the pink tea you ladies who live in the flat. P. S. Scream is still ..nexplained. If His Honor was attempting to abide by a resolution, his conduct in police court this morning forbodes a stormy year for the violators of the law. Bpt one accused faced him in court this morning and he answered to the charge of "plain, well done," but judge Arnold turned him over again when he announced a fine of $15 or the same number of days on the rock pile in the absence of the necessary mazuma. Sergeant Dan Carden and Officer England made the last arrest of the year by picking up Will Bigg, alias Maze, last night on the charge of be ing drunk, disorderly conduct and car rying dangerous weapons. He was drunk when he called on Phil Billard on Eighth and Monroe streets. A mo tor car which belonged to Grady Montgomery was standing' in the street and he asked to use it. Billard said that it did not belong to him but Maze insisted on using it. When Billard and Carl Anderson at tempted to prevent this, he slashed one of the casings with a knife. Bil lard and Anderson held the man at Sixth and Quincy streets, after a stormy session, until the police arriv ed. and took him to the city jail. Chief Jenkins and Officers Palmer and Sanders interrupted Maybelle Bridges and her better half while they were entertaining at their "den" at 123 West Railroad street, early Sun day morning. A rough house had been started, and to say a rough house is expressing it mildly, but that is about the limit of expression. All were in a high state of excitement when the officers came. George Bradshaw, H. Henderson, Tinnie Mitchell, W.Thomp son and Jessie Lewis were arrested. The hostess and her better half made their escape. Tobe Guy thought he was at the peace conference Saturday night and started a tight. Officers Woodward and Morgan interrupted him and land ed him in the joy wagon.

January 2. Following closely on the announcement by Dr. Orville W. Owen that his researches in English for proof that Francis Ba con wrote the plays" of WTilliam Shake speare, are fast Hearing completion, comes the admission of the doctor that Sir Francis was the inventor, or at least the designer of an airship. "We haven't discovered the airship," said the doctor yesterday, "but we have found descriptions of one in our excavations in the River Wye which are undoubtedly the work of the man whom many are certain was the au thor of the plays attributed to Shake spearv And he, of course, is Sir Francis Bacon." "When do you intend to make these plans or descriptions public?" the doc tor was asked. "Only when we find them in their entirety. Our real mission is to find the plays and the conclusive evidence of their authorship. When we have done that we may turn to the other matter. But at present it is only sec ondary to us, no matter what its sig nificance to the world of science may be." TIRES OF HISlOB Republican Mayor Sent 1,000 Mes sages to Council. Hoboken, N.

"The public in this civilized day tires of its entertainers, just as tyrants of ten or twenty cen turies ago used to tire of theirs, and Ihe effect, occasionally, may be the same, death to the entertainer." B. P. Backins, a professional clog dancer, made this remark to a friend yesterday. Today he shot himself through his right lung and is dying at a local hospital. In a note found in his room he declared that he killed himself because people no longer cared to see him dance. "Clog dancing is no longer the lu crative occupation that it was once," the note continues. "Newer dances and the infinite variety in modern vaudeville have caused a change in the fickle fancies of those who pay dimes and quarters for their amusement."

Q W W 11 rcial TYave UNDER STRONG GUARD McManigal Will lie Proteeted From All Clutnees of Harm. Iudianapolit.. Jan. 2. Both Oscar Law. lor, special government prosecutor in California and District Attorney John D. Fredericks of Los Angeles county, Cal.. are due to arrive here today. They will ollaborate with I'nited States Dis trict Attorney Miller in the inquiry into the alleged nation-wide dynamite con spiracy. The federal grand jury re sumes its inquiry today. While. Mr. Lawlor helped District Attonuy Fred ericks prepare his case before the .Vie Namaras confessed and Inter Mr. Fred ericks reciprocated by bringing over ev idence that is supposed to have enabled Mr. liwlor, as special government pros, center t draw the indictments, return ed on Saturday last by the federal grand jury at Los Angeles, both these men hrd planned to lend a hand today to Cnited States District Attorney Mil ler here in what is now conceded to h" the pivotal work of the government inquisitory ij.roceedings. Ortie E. McManigal arrival her within two or three days is taken to mein that the Callfornians will assist Mr. Miller in assembling the voluminous confessions of McManigal, which are supixjded t," have laid the foundations of the indictments returned by the fed eral grand jury in Tsoa Angeles la.t week against coast labor leaders. But MeMa meal's confessions, it is predict ed, will be of greater uo here than on he coast because of the numerous east erners whom he is thought to Implteat. When McManigal arrl.es he will b under special guard, not that the auth orities "ear his escat-. but the possi bility of foul play from those against whom he has been testifying. Though federal prisoners usual'y an kept in the county jail here arrange ments are being made to shelter Mc Manigal in the federal building Itself, where an armed guard will protect him. Recognizing that the statute of limita tions would prevent the Implication of some persons for causing explosives to be transported, which led to the de struction of property several years ago, the government prosecutors here will take advantage of recent decisions in the so-called sugar trust cases, w herein conspiracy offenses were held to be con tinuous.

Mordecai Brown, premier pitcher of the Cubs and one of the highest class players who ever participated in the national pastime, is through with baseball. Treatment on the part of the owner Murphy, which he considers was not in accordance with the measure of ef fort he gave to his work while a mem ber of the Cub team and the desire to graap the opportunity to earn more than was represented by the figures on the baseball contract tendered him were the -reasons assigned by. Brown for his decision to quit the game. "It is my intention to quit .baseball," said the three fingered star shortly af ter his arrival here from the coast. "I have given the game the best I had since I went into it and I figure that I might be able to hold up my end for three or four years more, Dut tne man ner in which I was treated while a member of the Cubs was not such as would make me anxious to continue. I have a chance here in Chicago to go into a business which will net me con siderably more than I possibly could make by continuing to play. "I do not want any one to construe my assertion that I am going to quit baseball into the usual 'holdout talk or a player whose contract has expired and who is looking for more money. If I were offered another Cub contract I should name a figure which I know would be prohibitive, for I have made up mv mind to quit and go into busi ness, the iii.ture of which I cannot divulge at the moment but will be in position to do so within a day or two." KOiSOR FOR REMINGTON. FIGHTING POVERTY IN 350 HOMES HUNGER, COLD, SICKNESS AND DESPAIR are prevalent this Winter among the poor in Topeka. Scores of people are out of employment. Our workers meet these condi tions daily and fight them persistently, systematically and aggressively. ON THE FIRING LINE OF T. P. A. are 6 relief visitors, and 3 visiting nurses. These are busy in the homes of the needy every working day in the year. They educate as well as relieve distress. Behind them are a trained staff of social workers and over "300 con tributors. TWO METHODS OF ATTACK are used by this Association. It provides immediate and temporary relief without red tape or formality. It investigates the needs of the poor in their homes, helping them to help themselves. VICTORY IS NECESSARY for the benefit of the neighborhood, the city, the country, the world. The battle involves a responsibility and an opportunity which should be mut ually shared by all who believe in improving the condition of the poor. Every family saved is a victory. THE SINEWS OF WAR must be provided if the battle is to be continued and waged successfully. Poverty's guerilla warfare is not easy to combat. It requires all the strategy seven years of experience in philanthropic work has taught us. Last year over $8,000 was spent for relief and ministration in saving over 300 families.

Josephine Le Fevre Company. Philadelphia, Pa. Sold by Arnold Drug Co. Brunt Drug Co. Leavenworth, Jan. 2. For broth ers, C. E. Uavis, awaiting at the coun ty jail transfer to Quincy, 111., to be tried for using the mails to defraud, and Arlington L. Davis, serving a term in the federal penitentiary for the ;-ame crime, do not resemble each oth er closely except in the quality of their voices. That is unfortunate for both, C E. Davis says. C. E. Davis completed a sentence of eighteen months at the federal peni tentiary last week upon conviction in the United States district court at Madison, Wis., of using the mails to defraud and as he left the gate Mar shal Harrison arrested him upon a warrant charging him with the same rime at Quincy. He left Davis in the county jail here. "I admit that I was guilty of the first offense," said Davis, "but I'm innocent of the second. My brother was guilty and he is serving time for that now. Arlington served a pre vious term in the federal penitentiary, but that was for my crime. He plead ed guilty then with the understanding that the indictment against me at Madison and the charges against him at Quincy would be dropped. Upon his release, however, he was tried at Quincy and sent here again." Got Butter for Xotliing. C. E. was a partner of Thomas E. Lees, a commission merchant, at Mad ison. They wrote letters to creamer ies throughout the west ordering one tub of butter from each. They paid for this, Davis says, but later they ordered larger shipments from each. Davis says he gave the second orders over long distance telephone, and the firm failed to pay for them. He thinks $1,200 would cover the creamery deal ers' losses. His brother conducted a similar business at Quincy. "Just before the exposure," said Davis. "I went to Camden, 3V. J., and my brother to Milwaukee. He was ar rested there and the creamery men from whom I had ordered butter over the phone identified him as me by his voice. Strangely the cashier of the bank at Madison, who knew me, also thought him to be me although we don't look alike. "Arlington pleaded guilty at Madi son and came here for eighteen months. When his sentence expired he was taken to Quincy and sentenced to a year and a day here for using the mails to defraud. I was arrested a year after Arlington was sent to pris on and followed him here for eighteen months. Learns of Second Charge. "I did not know there was an in dictment against me at Quincy until I applied for parole. The board recom mended me, but Attorney General Wickersham refused to grant my pa role because, he said, a second charge hung over me. That was the first I knew about it. "I have letters promising that the Quincy indictment will be dropped if I reveal the whereabouts of Lees, my partner at Madison. I don't know where he is. I also have affidavits to show that I was at Camden, N. J., when the last Indictment alleges I was in Quincy. Residents of Quincy, who have seen my photograph, say that I was there at that time." K.

The fireman escaped unhurt. The wreck occurred two miles west of Lindsborg, near the spot where a work train was wrecked a year ago, killing and crip pling several men. KEEP PENSION AGENCY Topeka Will Be One of Eive How M unlock Became an Orator. Washington, D. C, Jan. 2. Unlike his predecessors, Secretary Fisher of the interior department it is under stood on good authority, will not make a recommendation urging the consoli dation of the seventeen pension agen cies scattered throughout the country. His predecessors, both Ethan Allen Hitchcock and Richard A. Ballinger, worked hard for years to consolidate these agencies into one general pay ing office at Washington. The house has on a number of occasions voted to abolish the agencies, but the sen ate always forced the lower legislative body to agree to a restoration of the item making provision for their main tenance in the general pensions ap propriation bill. As has been stated heretofore in the State Journal, the house is ready to abolish the agencies1 and there is a growing sentiment in the senate look ing to at least some curtailment of the great expense of running these agen cies. Senator Curtis and other senators particularity interested in this legis lation are of the firm belief that ac tion will be taken at this session to reduce these agencies to five in num ber. In this event it is confidently ex pected that the Topeka agency will be retained. Congressman Vic Murdock is be coming an orator of "some pump kins," as it is being expressed about the capital. He has a line of talk as fiery as his hair and when he goes on a lecture tour he pulls applause out of his audience as easily as a magician pulls a rabbit out of a $4 derby. This is the tale of the friendly tip that showed "Vic" the way to becom ing an orator. Some years ago when he first be gan to make public speeches, young Murdock grew discouraged. No mat- ter how many good stories he told or how many appeals to patriotism he sprung, his audience was as cold and unresponsive as a dead whitefish. Ap plause was as scarce as the noonday sun in Pittsburg. "Vic" wondered why. He analyzed his speeches in manu script and they seemed mighty good, regardless of the way audiences took them. He asked his father to go over one of his speeches and see what ail ed it, and his father agreed that it was good. The mystery of the non-applauding aurtipn"c became greater than ever, and "Vic" began to woi.i If he was being plotted against. One night, after addressing a politi cal meeting, "Vic" was riding to the nearest railway station with the pro prietor of the local livery stable. People didn t applaud much, i thev." commented the driver. "No, not much," "Vic" was forced to admU. "You said some pretty good things, too," went on the driver. "Then why didn't they applaud?" asked young Vic Murdock, eagerly. "Well, for one thing," said the driv er, "you didn't give them time. I was ready to start the handclappin' there several times, but before I got a chance you went right on to some thing else." "You think I'd be all right If I'd just talk slower, then?" "No; twasn't just that. I'll tell you. I've listened to lots of these fellows that come here to speak, and I notice that when they spring any big names they put them in the hind part of their sentences. You start out to talk about Lincoln. Grant and James G. Blaire, and then you end up by telling what they did. If I was you I'd tell what happened, and then say: "These things were done by Lincoln, Grant and Jas. G. Blaine!' Holler it out real loud, y'know, and then stop for a min ute, and I bet you they'll clapp their hands." "Vic" slapped the man on the thigh, "I'll try your system," he said. And the next time he spoke he got all the applause he could handle. He's been getting it ever since. Obituary.

She was converted at the age of 17 years and died In full triumph of faith. Kansas City, Jan. 2. Charles K. Bow man, arrestea in connection with the Bernhardt farm murders in Johnson county, Kan., last winter, remains at the Silver avenue police station in Kan sas. City, Kan. The trip to Johnson county that the police intended to take with Bowman to learn whether he could corroborate the story he told as to how he first heard of the murders was post poned. The chief point against Bowman, which has been given out by Chief Zimmer or L h Cave, sheriff of John son county, who participated In his ar rest, is that he told persons in Indiana about the murder, describing it in de tail, early in January, 1911, and later insisted that he never heard of the crime until the summer of 1911. Bow man worked for the Bernhardts up to about the time of the murders In De cember, 1910. He returned to the home of his parents in Indiana January 3, 1911. Had Money When He Reached Home. Bowman had several hundred dollars when he reached home. Chief Zimmer paid immediately after he arrived there that he told at least a dozen personr all about the Bernhardt murders, de scribing how the four persons were killed, and telling some things which never have been in newspapers and which no one was supposed to know except the rolice. When Chief Zimmer and Sheriff Cave asked Bowman where he obtained the information about the crime, they said he replied that a man on horseback told him about it for the first time, in the summer of 1911, while he wan on the way to the Bernhardt farm to try to get work as a farm hand there again. Bowman told the police he knew where this man on horseback lives in Johnson county and that he could prove by him that they had the interview in the sum mer. The trip to Johnson county with Bowman will be to give him an oppor tunity to corroborate this statement. Not Worried, Apparently. Bowman did not get along well with his stepmother in Indiana. Chief Zim mer says she was afraid to live in the house when he was at home. At the time Bowman was arrested he was be ing sought by the federal authorities for sending a threatening letter to his stepmother. The Indiana authorities were searching for him also to Inquire into a letter which had been received by an Indiana banker following the robbery of his bank. Bowman has made no confession and no statement which implicates him in the murders. While being brought to Kansas City he insisted that all he knew about the crime was what he had learned from the man on horse back in the summer of 1911. and had heard afterwards. He had not been questioned since he arrived in Kansas City. MAKE Mill BROADER Great Thing Commercial Club Is Do ing for Topeka. The special publicity committe ap pointed to map out a campaign for exploiting the Commercial club in the next few months has held a meeting and decided to begin the campaign at once- iV. "We expect to tell the people of the benefits to be derived through belong ing to the club," said N. B. Burge, a member of the committee. "Why just the other day a man who had but for a short time been a member of the club, came around to me and said he had something to tell me. 'I am just begininng to broaden out,' he said. 'You know I wouldn't take $500 for what the Commercial club did to broaden me as a man. It has given me a better grip on things, and makes me as though life were more worth living.' "AVe want to impress upon the small salaried men," said Sol Berkson, "that we want them to come up here and rub shoulders with the rest of us, and that they will receive as good treat ment as the man with a million. We want to give these men something to do for the good of Topeka." Secretary J. Will Kelley has gath crnrl statistics relative to the manufac turing interests of the city and the information will be put in the form of a newspaper advertisement and will be presented to the people in this man ner. N. B. Burge has prepared some reading matter setting forth the bene fit of the Commercial club to the com munity. The members of the committee are: N. B. Burge, Luther Bailey, Sol Berk son, W. O. Rigby, E. B. Stotts, and Secretary J. Will Kelley. FOR THREE CENT FARE Ordinance Passed by Toledo Includes V niversal Transfers. Toledo. Jan. 2. The Toledo city council sitting in the first session of the new term passed a street railway franchise under suspension of the rules providing for a daily rental of $2 50 for the operation of cars over streets on which the franchises have expired and the inauguration of three-cent fares on every line in the city with universal transfers. The passage of the ordinance Is pre liminary to an action on the part of the city of Toledo to enjoin the com pany from the use of the streets on which th franchises expired in No vember, 1910. should the company re fuse to comply with the terms or tne franchise.

Delegates to the conference of Progressive Demo crats scheduled to open here today be gan to arrive this morning. Just what will be done is a matter that is causing much speculation even among those who called the conference. Tjhat the I doctrines advocated by Governor Jud i son Harmon will be condemned is the belief of former Congressman Lentz and others although they insist that Harmon will not be made an issue per sonally. No candidate will be endorsed for the Democratic nomination for president if the originators of the movement can avert such a proceeding. "Progressive planks in the Demo cratic platform is what this organiza tion will endeavor to obtain." said Mr. Lentz. "As soon as the permanent or ganization is formed and Ohio suffi ciently covered the movement will be carried throughout the Union. I 'It has been stated that we are at tacking Governor Harmon.

For the first time a local stock com pany put on musical comedy, when North Brothers played "Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway," at the Ma jestic Monday. The bill is the New j Tear's week offering. Aside from its music the play has unusual interest. Miss Genevieve Russell, who plays the part of "So Long- Mary" appears for her last time in Topeka this week. So I the part is especially appropriate. Miss i Russell has done the greater part of the rehearsals, and shows great apti the rehersals. and shows great apti tude for musical comedy in the render ing of her own part. Another charac ter of interest is Orval Spurrier with the Topeka company- last year, but now w-ith the Wichita branch who is here this week with his Billiken grin to rep resent Kid Burns. He was given hearty applause when he came on the stage. The men in the chorus are local people. The girls, with the exception of Miss North are from Wichita, where their regular work is in the orchestra of the North company. One of them. Miss Grace Biehl, led the Ne Vassa Ladies' band, which made such a hit at Kansas City last season and the girl is con sidered one of the finest cornetists. Her sister, Miss Leoan Biehl and Miss Gene Grace, also with the Wichita orchestra are clever and versatile musicians. A capacity house saw the performance. It is a production that a person would wish to see more than once and is staged and acted most creditably. Jack Truitt. manager of the theater, reports that seats are in great demand, but he wishes it distinctly understood that there will be seats for the patrons all week. He says that because people can not get the exact seats they wish, they give out an impression that the seats are all sold out for the week. Xovelty. Those to whom the "concord of sweet sounds" is a delight have a treat in store for them at the Novelty this week. Miss Verona Hefi Miko, a Hun garian girl, plays an instrument re sembling a dulcimer and is called a czymbalom. It looks like a piano, but is played with bambo sticks instead of keys. The tones are between those of a harp and piano. Miss Miko's act was encored Monday and because of the repeated encores delayed the show Monday afternoon. Her work includes the playing of popular melodies with the string of the instrument covered with a cloth. Her repertoire also in cludes four variations of Paganin's "Carnival Venize,"' Paderewski's "Min uet, the Intermezzo from Cava leria Rusticana," "The Traumerie" and other classical and popular selections. After European style she is introduced by her manager. Ie Noire and Daney, who make a hit with songs and jokes, have been in ToDeka before with musical comedy. De Noire was here with "The Isle of Spice," "The Show Girl" and "The Volunteer Organist." De Noire has a patent laugh all of his own invention, which, he says, he has spent several months in perfecting. Miss Daney is also clever in her work and the team made a distinct hit. Huntress, a female impersonator, shows the audience-how he transforms himself into a perfect lady and then gives several oriental dances with ap propriate music and settings, assisted by Dale Jones and Mr Borden. Fin and Ford offer something new in blackface and prove good funsmiths. D. Seymour and Robinson are good acrobats and with good comedy make their act worth while from start to fin ish.

Los Angeles, Jan. 2. A national record in low death rate and average longevity was established by Los An geles last year, according to statistics compiled by City Health Commissioner L. M.

Two Chicago min isters in disguise, who made a tour of Loop celebration centers New Tear's eve, were shocked at what they saw. The Rev. Melbourne F. Boynton of Lexington Avenue Baptist church was piloted by the Rev. Ernest A. Bell of the Midnight Mission, whose work gives him knowledge of Chicago s night life. Dr. Boynton was particularly severe in denouncing scenes in the Pompeiian room of the Congress hotel. "There was a combination of wanton ness, drunkenness and lewdness," he said. "A woman, said to be the wife of a lumberman, danced so indecently that her escort led her out. "I saw one woman kissed and fondled by six different men. One woman thrice danced the 'grizzly bear" before bein? suppressed. "Many old men were accompanied by Tf.men who looked young. But they may not have been young it might tiave been the make-up. "Two young men formerly in my Sunday school were there. L tried to persuade them to go home but their women would not let them. "It was worse than the Vrst ward balls, which I have seen. The women one sees at the First ward ball are al ready far on the road down but those in the gilded hotel restaurant were men and women just starting on the red way." the municipal night shelter for the homeless and the confiscation of the adulterated whisky found on his prem ises, no further poisonir g has been re ported in the city. The official total of the dead is 72 out of 162 cases reported to the authorities but these do not include some who died outside of the municipal institutions. About 26 persons are still seriously ill in various hospitals. The fact that a. great proportion of the deaths might have teen prevented if the cause had been more promptly established has ex cited much criticism. The authorities in replying to this assert both ptomaine and wood .Ucohol were responsible for the early cases, but these were un doubtedly' mostly caused by ptomaine poLsoning.

Since the arrest of the wholesale liquor dealer who had been in the habit of disposing i wood alco hol and groceries to the inmates of "Washington, Jan. 2. Substantial reductions in duties are looked for In the Democratic steel tariff schedule, which the house ways and means com mittee probably will have ready for submission about the middle of this month. It is stated that in many in stances the Payne low rates will be cut in half and that the highest rate of duty allowed on any product of steel or iron will not be more than 3 5 per cent advalorem. The greatest fight probably will be over the duty on tin plates, which, it is understood, is to be cut from $1.20 to 75 cents per hundred pounds. Iron ore is expected to go on the fre list along with all manufactures of steel and iron that were made duty free in the farmers free list of the extra ses sion.

Annual Report Shows Decrease in Arrests. IS LESS DRUNKENNESS Still the Leading Offense on Jail Records However. Total Number of Arrests for the Year Over Two Thousand. That the liquor situation in Topeka iu now being controlled more success fully than for a number of years is shown in the annual report of Chief of Police Morris Jenkins which is being compiled. Thia showing i9 made by the decrease in the number of arrests for drunkenness and also by the num ber of arrests that have been made on the charge of selling liquor. Othei- im portant statistics are shown in the re port which will give the people of the city some idea of the work that is be ing done. A total of 529 arrests were made during the year of 1911 on the charge of drunkenness as compared with 5 6 in 1910 and TOO in 1909. Going back further through the records the re ports show 4 2 arrests in 1906, 514 in 1307 and 823 in 1908. The reports also show that 104 ar rests for selling liquor were made dur ing the year of 1911, the same during the year of 1910 and but 93 during the year of 1909. Morris Jenkins has been chief of police during the last two years. The reports also show that there has been less gambling during the last vear than formerly. The report shows that 54 arrests were made on this charge during the last year, 91 during the year of 1910 and 85 in 1909. Five murderers were arrested dur ing the year of 1911 and 6 during the year of 1910 with none in 1909. Twenty-two arrests were made during the vear of persons operating and found in opium joints as compared with none in either of the two previous years. All of these persons arrested on this charge were negroes. The reports of tho last year show that 310 white and 149 negroes were arrested for being drunk, sixteen ne groes and no white for assault with intent to kill, forty-six white as com pared with 5 0 negroes on the charge of being inmates or found in disorder ly houses. Twenty-two arrests were made on the charge of running or be ing found in opium dens and all these wero negroes. A perusal of the tabulated reports show interesting data.

Inquiry Letters Show Others Are Interested. The workmen's compensation act went into effect today. Secretary of State Sessions stated that his mail lately has been heavy with applications to come in under the act or with questions in dicating that the writers would soon take advantage of its provisions. "I believe the law is going to be a success," said Mr. Sessions today, "and that the big corporations will accept it as the best solution of a vexing problem. Judging from the list of ap plications today I should judge that the tig corporations of Kansas City, Kan., have been advised by their attorneys to come in under the law." The first statement filed that filled all the requirements of the law was by Arthur Capper for his printing publi cations. Other statements received la ter in the day were: Labor Exchange No. 27Z of Osage City, a coal mining concern, the Griffen Wheel company of Kansas City. Swift Co. and Morris Co.. the Kansas City packers, the Lawrence laundry. Applications were received from the irrigation and sugar companies of Garden City, and the Lyons Milling company. Mr. Sessions is of the opinion that most of the milling companies of the state will come in under the act. He has 12 letters from corporations where in their intention is expressed to come in under the act. He has 25 applications for blanks from other corporations. BIG CIRCUS TONIGHT V- 31. C. A.

AMUSEMENTS "The Gamblers," Charles Klein's gripping play which holds the record for long runs among serious dramas of the season just passed, comes to the Grand tonight, under the direction of the Authors' Producing company, of which John Cort is president. The story of the play involves a debonaire young freebooter who has come into the management of his staid old father's bank, and who, in his effort to expand the business, resorts to various questionable practices. There is a woman in the case, the wife of the prosecuting attorney of the federal government, who w-as once the sweetheart of the young broker, and whose husband is given to posing as an infallible moralist, and he allows his unjust jealousy to override his sense of legal justice. Mr. Klein illus trates the axiom that there is no gain without risk. He shows that men and women can not make tremendous gains without making tremendous losses, and that success in fame and fortune does not always mean real success in life. "Rip "Van "Winkle." with Thomas Jefferson in the title role, will be the offering at the Grand Thursday mati nee and night. Cotton 31ills on Full Time. Providence, Jan. 2.

Garfield Park Will Be Turned Over by the City. REVENUES 15 PEll CENT City Will Be Given a Part of the Gross Receipts. Contract for Work Now in Hands of Commissioners. If daily conferences pending between the board of city commissioners and local promoters come to a satisfactory end, Topeka next summer will have one of the best amusement parks in the west. In addition to this promise, the nark will be at Garfield in iNorth To peka a down town location and a place accessible by a one way car rare. Then there is another feature the city of Topeka will receive 15 per cent of the gross receipts or tne amuse ments. It is figured by C. C. Matthews, who is at the head of the local pro moters, that in this arrangement the city will be given more than $4,000 a year revenue without one cent ot ex- oense. What the promoters are asking is a lease of the park rights for nve years If this Is secured and there is every reason to think that the city commis sioners will be in favor of the proposi tion a Philadelphia amusement park equipment concern will begin immedi ately to build the features and trans form Garfield park into a dazzler of f un it is planned by the Topeka men at the head of the contracts to cover the land just east and southeast of Gar field park with every kind of an at traction, found in modern joy parks. A figure eight, or a coaster and scenic railway will be built over this ground. It will be of the latest pattern and the track will guarantee patrons every va riety of sensations. The track will cover the entire territory. Carouseis, airdomes, moving picture screens and a score more attractions will De built. It is planned to make the entire park district a blaze of elec tricity at night. No admission will be charged to the park. The promoters promise the city that no damage will be done to the grounds.

Vine wood is conducted by the Topeka Rail way company and has been a popular P City commissioners declare that To peka needs an amusement park down town or at least a park that can be reached more easily by working men and their families. It is argued that the location of Garfield prak w"ould be of great benefit to everyone. Conferences between C. C. Matthews and the city commissioners have been progressing for some time. When the contract is agreed upon it will be signed and the Philadelphia concern will begin work on the park features. BURNS WILL DIVIDE. Expects to Collect $30,000 on tho Mo Xamara Job. Indianapolis, Jan. 2. William J. Burns arrived here today to testify before the federal grand jury in what is consid ered to be the final lap in the gov ernment investigation of the alleged nation wide dynamiting conspiracy. To night Mr. Burns expects to confer with United States District Attorney Charles W. Miller, Oscar Lawlor, special govern ment prosecutor in southern California and District Attorney John D. Fred ericks of Los Angeles county, Cal., the latter two being due to arrive here from the coast during the day. The announcement of rtie E. Mc Manigf.l's departure from Los Angeles for this city completes the gathering of the government's forces In building utp Its case against the alleged conspira tors. Mr. Burns declared he would not be surprised if by the end of the week a mass of indictments would be returned. While information as to the great ma jority of the persons against whom the investigation is aimed is already in possession of the authorities, an army of detectives still were at work in trac ing the movements and activities of big labor leaders in the last two years, he said. Asked as to the rewards which were offered in California for the ar rest of persons perpetrating the Los Angeles Times disaster, Mr. Burns ex pressed the belief that he would col lect upwards of $30,000. This sum, he added, however, he intenaed to divide among the many assistants who helped him run down the McNamaras. As to the reward of $7,500 offered bv Olaf Tveitmoe, secretary-treasurer of the state building trades council at the time of the Los Angeles Times ex nlosion and withdrawn when the Mc- Namaras were arresicu, he was quite confident that the Cali fornia labor leader would pay the re ward without any trouble.

KILLED LIST 287 One 31urder Every 34 Hours Xew York's Record. York. Jan. 2. One death by violence every 34 hours was the toll taken on life in New 1 ork city dur ing 1911 by the criminal element, the total for all of the broughs being 257 homicides. The total as compared with the population is not large; in ract, it is smaller than in most American cities. Only one New Yorker out of every 18,550 met an untimely end by murder. Generally speaking, the district at torney believes the statistics disclose improved conditions and indicate tnai New York City is growing better. WEIR CITY SUES Brings Action in Supreme Court Against Regents. Want School of Mines Located at Once. John M. Young of Weir City today filed mandamus proceedings in the su preme court to compel the board of regents of the state university to es tablish the state school of mines at Weir as provided by the last legisla ture. Mr. Young bases his suit on the proposition that he has sons whom he wants to take the technical course in mining at Weir and that they are un able to take advantage of this course because of the tardy tactics of trie board of regents in establishing the school. Nearly a year ago the legislature made an appropriation of $10,000 for a school of mines and located tne school at Weir City. About the time the legislature adjourned and the law went into effect a lot of trouble arose in Cherokee county about the non enforcement of the prohibitory law. Weir City was named in the southern Kansas reports as one of the places where the law violations were ire auent and hard to represg. The es tablishment of the school was delayed on this pretext from time to time. A few weeks ago the governor an nounced, that noDditions being better in Cherokee, the school would soon be established. But no steps have been taken to that effect, and the people are getting impatient, as is evidenced by this suit in the supreme court to compel the board of regents to act as directed by the law providing, for the school.

WHICH IS CORRECTS Records Do Not Agree With the County Attorney's Report. Three Convictions Out of 23 Larceny -Cases. VICTORIES AHE FEW. Compromise and Dismissal More Often on Docket. Touchers Show Simon Got Money From State. County Attorney Simon has issued an annual report, showing his record for the last year as public prosecutor. Stress is placed on the liquor prosecu tions in Shawnee county and the fact that Mr. Simon has "received" but x,zuv in tnese cases. ro ueniai is raaue of the records printed showing that the courts have allow-ed the county attor ney nearly $3,000 in liquor cases dis posed of in the last year. In his report, Mr. Simon claims 15 convictions in criminal cases exclusive of liquor prosecutions. A record com piled by the State Journal a few days ago, covering cases filed and disposed of eince January 1, 1911, shows some thing like the following condition: Ac tual convictions as charged, 3. Com promise verdicts by Jury, 5. Acquitals by Jury, 3. Pleas of guilty as charged, 11. Compromise pleas accepted by county attorney, 17. Cases dismissed by county attorney, 3. These are ill exclusive of the record in liquor cases. There were 105 liquor cases brought in the year and the record of these cases printed recently. Oonipromlwes Xot Mentioned. Mr. Simon in his record shows 39 pleas of guilty, but does not designate the number of cases in which he agreed on a compromise plea. He also cites 52 pleas in liquor cases, but overlooks a similar statement of affairs. Cases in which convictions were secured is charged in the complaint, were all in varying degrees of larceny and burg lary. In two murder cases, Simon lost one and in the second the defendant was convicted of third degree man slaughter the minimum of five mur der degrees. In a third murder case, the defendant was permitted by Simon to plead guilty to third degree man slaughter. Five cases were disposed of in which the defendant was charged with as sault with intent to kill. In none of these cases was the defendant con victed as charged in the information. One case was dismissed by the county attorney, three were Compromised by the lawyers and in two cases the Jury convicted for minor offenses. Three Out of Twenty-Three. The three convictions as charged In complaints in larceny cases were from a total of 23 similar cases. Kight de fendants pleaded guilty as charged, Simon personally compromised nine cases, secured r. minor conviction in one, conviction charged in three and the jury voted for acquittal in two. Of a total of four forgery cases, Simon compromised three and the de fendant pleaded guilty as charged In one. Simon disposed of one perjury case by dismissing it. In black faced type. Mr. Simon ex plains that the fees which he receives in liquor cases are "paid by the de fendants," a matter over which there was never the least dispute. Import ance is also placed on the fact that the governor and attorney general have never interfered in the Shawnee county liquor situation under the Si mon regime. No reference is made to the fact that the official state spotters have spent many weary, tedious hours in the local vineyard seeking evidence against violators of the prohibitory law and drawing weekly pay checks from the governor's and attorney gen eral's contingent funds. In mentioning the money he has spent in securing evidence and the fact that he himself has no contingent fund, Mr. Simon overlooked a point He did not men tion voucher No. 27,708 from Gover nor Stubbs' contingent fund in which he received $100 under the date of March 15. Read the language of the claim "To reimburse K. It. Simon for moneys expended in collecting and se curing evidence concerning violations of the prohibitory law in Topeka, Shawnee county, among the various hotels and resorts within said city. O. K. John Dawson, attorney gen eral." This item is from contingent fund No. 7, set aside for the enforcement of the prohibitory law. New York Stock List Last Pale. NeKw York, Jan. 2.

The supreme court last month de cided that Attorney General Dawson would have to subpoena J. E. House to tell about violations of the prohibitory law to a court of inquisition. Dawson bowed to the mandate of the court and asked the governor when he should bold the inquisition. The gov ernor required that he wait until t W. Trickett could conduct the inquis ition. Trickett was busy in federal -ourt and could not act then. The ilavs slipped by into weeks with noth ing done. Then Dawson applied to the supreme court for a rehearing in this case, alleging that the machinery of his office was clogged up by the far reaching decision. Of course House cannot be summon ed now pending the Dawson applica tion fur a rehearing for if" he was there would be nothing to litigate about. It is not likely now that House will be subpoenaed until after the supreme court takes a second whack at the case. Ten Days Granted for Filing of Both Sides' Kxceptions.

TT always seems a queer arrange-1 to give comfortable width for out of II ment of things that the folk with j door sports, and a loose, good looking ii habitations most worth dwelling j in, are the folk who are never in their habitations. Residence, after residence, along Fifth" Avenue and in the adjacent side streets, takes on with the beginning of January, that blank and unlived in look that be tokens a family flown to milder climes and a home left in the care of servants. The smart folk now stay in the country up to the last minute before Christmas and then, after a brief four or six weeks in town hie away once more to the happy free-and-easiness of a less exacting existence. Opera, balis and receptions soon bore the individual to whom they are no nov elty and by the time the enthusiastic debutante is just beginning to enjoy her first town season, her mamma and older sisters are ready for the less strenuous existence of Palm Beach, Hot Springs and Aiken. There, may be enjoyed, to a certain extent, the same pleasures which are in dulged in, in town, with the excep tion of opera; with the added ad vantage of a romantic setting and nerve-soothing quiet, or opportunity for out of door exercise during the off hours. Dances, dinners, bridge, formal luncheons and teas, musical mornings all these form the day's routine at Palm Beach, and the wom an who cannot live without shopping may Indulge this taste also to her heart's content provided her pocket book can stand the strain of the tremendous prices asked in the little Shops which cater to feminine vanity. There is much less formality among the villa colony at Palm Beach than there is at the hotels. The smart folk fly to the Southland to get away from irksome convention alities and to enjoy out-of-door pur suits; while to the great hotels come the World and his wife and his daughters and his dollars, all bent on making air impression on less im pressive others. The Sort of Wardrobe Required. What shall be taken to the South land in the way of apparel depends very much upon what one expects to j do while there. A dozen wardrobe trunks, filled to the brim, would scarcely contain enough clothes to fit one for taking part in every sort of sport and amusement the South ern resort offers. The average wom an planning a two weeks' sojourn at Palm Beach will take with her, be side the smart traveling costume in which she makes the journey, a well cut tailored suit of tan, gray or white worsted or white mohair, for morning wear with silk or linen blouses, and she will live in this suit most of the time before the afternoon tea hour. It will serve for walking, for golf, for tennis, for boating and for general out of door wear and it will, of course, be rather informal in cut and short enough to escape the ground, with flatly etitched pleats under panels or deep box pleats on the skirt J coat, preferably in the Norfolk style which is very fashionable just now for such use. White corduroy suits of this character are extremely mo dish, but if this fabric does not seem summery enough for the woman run ning away from winter, white mohair or white serge may be used with a collar of white corduroy and flat white pearl buttons. This trig, yet comfortable outing suit, will be ac companied by a hat of white felt or white panama and the morn artis tically slouchy and picturesque this hat the better white doeskin gloves and white boots of buckskin with buttoned tops. Very few pumps are being sold for Palm Beach this season, the dealers say, the trim high buttoned boot which makes the foot so slim and elegant being the tempo rary craze of Madame Mode. Besides this useful and practical tailored suit for runabout use there will be at least three formal dinner gowns with trains, a dainty frock or two of the lingerie order; a gown for bridge and tea invitations, the in evitable dancing frock and a bathing suit if one intends to disport in the tropical sea. Other costumes will be suggested by one's individual fads. Of course the woman who goes in for horseback riding will take her smart est habits to the South, and the ten nis enthusiast will be provided with appropriate shoes, skirts and blouses. Nothing "Home-Made" for Palm Beach. One essential qualification every costume taken to this mecca of the millionaires must possess. It must be perfect of Its kind. Its material and making must pass muster before the most critical inspection and the little woman who keeps her home dressmaker busy for a month, turn ing out frocks and frills for the fort night's visit in the South, will yery likely remain in her room or cover her inadequate finery -with a hastily purchased wrap when she finds how it looks beside the Paris inspired be longings of the women all about her. As soon as the last hour of Christ mas has slipped around the clock, the shops in the large cities are ready with lovely, summery things for Southland wear. Frocks, parasols, straw hats, dainty boots, even bath ing suits are displayed for the con venience of the woman planning a Southern Journey and the delectation and envy of those who must stay at home until summer comes to them. This year's parasols have inordinately long handles. One bright little deb utante, seeing them for the first time on a shopping tour preparatory to a Palm Beach outing, remarked that with a hook inserted in the end of the ferule one may, this season, help one's self to fruit on the upper branches of the trees without even stretching one's arm. It will be a great season for white, say the wise acres, and for cream and all the shades varying from cream to ecru. Natural pongee is to have an enor- THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE Allows J,..f-: A1:- i mous favor and all the laces, embroid eries and ihin fabrics in the creamy or pale tan tones. These ecru-tinted belongings will be worn in the after noons, in the unape of lace, lingerie and th'ri silk frocks, the -pure white appealing in tailred and athletic wear. Vory smart overcoats of white serge are being made by fashionable tailoru for southern wear. Women wear these coats over outing cos tumes used for tennis, golf or other sports, the loose, boxy coat with Its huge patch pockets, being slipped over the tailored serge or mohair suit after the exercise. The coats have a very mannish cut, but they arfc built for women and fit to per fection over the shoulders and arms, a thing no man's overcoat ever does when assumed by a woman. There is also slightly more flare at the bot tom than is the case with a man's coat. White Motor .Coats of Corduroy and Ratine. White motor togs promise to be as fashionable at Pali2 Beach this spring as they were last, though many women are taking down with them the good looking reversible clotJ coats used for motoring in the country up to Thanksgiving. For real winter weather, of course, no garment ex cept one of fur or leather will really keep one warm, but fur is at a dis count at Palm Beach and other southern resort3. One leaves the fur coat at home, or hides it at the bottom of a trunk, not to be brought out again until tlje first bleak nip of the March winds is felt on the re turn journey. For wear with white corduroy motor coats there are fetch ing little white chip motor bonnets trimmed at either side with cabuchons of violets in three shades of purple and long veils of pale violet chif fon. A rose colored straw bonnet of the same sort has" cabuchons of tiny pink satin roses and a pink chiffon veil. There are even motor .bonnets of yellow a most trying color, by the way, when one i crimson or pale from riding against the wind; but yellow is the fashionable color just now and every woman has at least one evening gown and one hat in the yellow shades. A: very beautiful wrap, designed for Palm Beach wear, and in these fashionable yellow tints, is illustrated. This wrap is built of the new crepe de chine sprawled over with Oriental figures, the ground ma terial being a warm burnt orange and the pattern in cream. The su perb lace scarf, draped in collar ef fect on the wrap is deep cream in tone and is mounted over gray chif fon. The satin bands at the edge of JOURNAL, Lace Frocks Stxp plant Xjiner"ie Models inT3Vor the wrap are also gray a color that relieves the vivid yellow very cleverly. With thi3 wrap is shown a hat of leghorn, faced with pale mauve satin and trimmed with one pale yellow plume wired to curve gracefully across the crown. Yellow the Shade of Shades This Year. Another gorgeous yellow creation is shown in the trailing gown accom panied by a plumed hat and reticule. The yellow tones are so subdued in this lovely frock which is by Callot Soeuss that the effect is not at all brilliant yet the gown is rich enough to attract attention anywhere. The foundation of very palo lemon yel low is veiled first wiln deep yellow chiffon and then with mauve, the em broideries of amethyst paillettes giv ing the chiffon tunics weight enough to make them hang limply around the figure in the approved "slinky" manner. The lower edges of the tunic, moreover, are caught together across the satin train with a festoon of velvet. This velvet is in a soft pale brown shade matching the vel vet sash, and the feathers on the hat are in shades of pale yellow, this soft brown and mauve. The embroid ered reticule is made of yallow satin richly embroidered with pearls and gold thread. This costume is intended for hotel dinner wear at Falm Beach, or for bridge and tea wear at one of the clubs. When Twilight Tea Is Served In the Cocoanut virove. "Sunset Teas," "Twilight Teas," "Moonrise Teas" they are all very much the fad at Palm Beach and they all take place at tha regulation tea hour, just at dusk, allowing one time to rest afterward and dress for dinner at one's leisure without any undue gnawings of hunger because of the long wait between luncheon and the formal evening repast. Tea in the Cocoanut Grove is an especial ly pleasant experience and usually at this hour a light wrap must be donned over the lace or lingerie frock in which one has spent the afternoon or perhaps all day, since a lazy ten o'clock breakfast. A charming new lace frock, typical of the models that are being ordered for Southern wear, Is pictured. This lovely frock combines embroidered net and fine bebe Irish crochet and the close fit ting cap is made of Valencienne lace over net, a pink ribbon being run be tween through a wi le casing. With this frock are shewn the French heeled slippers which have again come into fashion, even the buttoned boots designed for dressy wear hav- r v r -L I 't i t U fit its- maMmmmmmmM-:: mm ihy:; y U fM lliiiir w 'Mmmmi h m-l I -v t'p V lift wm mmmm J. Pinrvez3 Gcwn with. 5TT is more and more the custom Bto run away from the conven tionalities of town life, whenever one can, and enjoy the fun and freedom of the country. The big houses out on Long Island and in Westchester are ready to open at a moment's notice for a holiday or week-end party at any time during the winter, and most of the million aires now have their winter estates or camps in the Adirondacks as well as villas v at Palm .3each, so that within a few hours one may enjoy ice-boating and coasting, or sea bath ing on summer sands. All this craze for out of d or life in midwinter has had its effect on costume and where, formerly, any old thing was good enough for a day in the country in winter time, provided it was sufficiently warm to keep off the nip of Jack Frost, now adays there is in elaborate and care fully selected wardrobe for winter athlfct'.c use. And of course, first and foremost in this out-of-door winter wardrobe, come the jolly, informal, comfortable knitted togs. Who would wear a coat when custom permits a delightfully cosy, easy-fitting sweater? And who would endure the irritation of a hat with hatpins when a delight ful knitted bonnet or hood may be cuddled on over hair and ears? Even skirts are knitted to match sweaters now and these knitted suits, which originated in Switzerland at the win V m.

This mantle is made of flowered crepe in shades of pink and with it goes a straw hat with the tarn crown several shades deeper pink than the drooping brim, and a wreath of roses shading from pale Dinner1 'iviV; Plumed Hat SZ) of White Chip ter carnivals, are now worn here by women who skate, tramp or take part in other cold weather sports. The new sweaters are very different affairs from the loosely knitted af fairs that used to stretch out of shape after a few wearings. Winter sweat ers are knitted with a close stitch and color is often Introduced to give a jaunty, attractive effect. The white sweater will always remain the fa vorite, but many colored models are seen, a warm brown, a little darker than a mustard shade, being the favorite. With brown furs and a brown corduroy skirt a brown sweater looks very smart indeed, and of course wit!-, such a costume, tan "boots will be worn. Tust now the out-of-door color, par ,!xcellence, is white. For motoring there are snowy coats of white ratine. With the White Sweater Go White Hat, Gloves and Boots. white rabbit fur or white corduroy and the skating girl with her white sweater and cap, wears a short skirt of white corduroy, a big white fur muff and dainty white buckskin boots. If straps are used with the skates buttoned boots may not be worn and fashion must be sacrificed to convenience and comfort, for tightly drawn straps across boot but tons will make the skater's progress most uncomfortable. With the walk ing costume, however, or the motor ing costume the white buckskin boots with their dainty white pearl but tons are most attractive and these boots do not become soiled as easily as in the summer season when dust mermet to deep American Beauty color.

One of the il lustrations shows a pale tan sweater and hat with a brown corduroy skirt, the sweater having brown striped border trimmings. The gloves carried with this costume are of yellow cha mois. Doeskin gloves are also liked for out-of-door wear and these heavy gloves can be washed out and nun up to dry overnight. The hat pic tured with this tan and brown sweater i3 one of the knitted affairs built over a buckram frame, the brim rolling back from the face. These hats are Just as warm as the worsted caps, but the frame underneath gives them a trimmer, smarter appearance. The muff, scarf and cap of worsted seem particularly weH suited for country wear, though of course, such belongings would be Impossible in town. Even a conventional, tailored suit of dark sertfe or mixed worsted, worn with such Jolly knitted togs, loses its formality end becomes an unconventional costume to match the knitted belongings and its wearer's rosy cheeks and bright eyes. The knitted set illustrated is made of tan worsted with a border of dark blue and a large mother of pearl button with a silver rim adds a touch of brightness to. the tap.

It is an abridged Webster. 1L H." Somebody who has lately invested in a big new dictionary will send you his old one. Then you will inform us that the donation of your old lexicon Is no longer contingent upon an other's act, but a present fact. Wants to Send Magazines. I have a goodly supply of the best maga zines, which, having been read through by each member of my family, may be had for the asking. If you know where they are most needed will you let me have the privilege of doing them up and sending them, expressage paid, to those who will enjoy them as we have done?

She has a daughter who has been out of work six months. She is much in need of clothes: her feet are on the ground She n-eeds a winter coat and manv other things The woman has a little grandson, 6 months old a son's child she is raising who needs a high chair. There are many people In the city who have thing's stored away. It would do so much good if they would only think. She might be lucky enough to .get something from your Corner. Her address is Mrs. M A. C Chicago." At this season nobody with a :ive heart in his or her bosom will cnlde me for this second infraction of rules. I ought to cut out the portion of this appeal which pertains to the girl who has no warm clothing and whose feet are upon the cold, cold ground." After read ing to the end of the letter I shut my eyes ?o proprieties and hardened my heart to the pleadings of expediency and inserted that phrase along with the rest. Of course we cannot ask for castoff clothing," so I am not doing it now. But we receive wide open eyes and hands when What will we do with the above? Reading Matter on Hand. A few days ago some one asked for read ing matter. I have some to give away. Last spring I packed up the magazines I had saved for years and have been giving them away as I found those who -wanted them. "E. E. E." Do not give away any more until you have a chance to contribute theon to our circu lating library through the Corner. We have thousands of periodicals on the wing from one family to the other. Some one writes to us, as you have done, offering a set of maga zines or papers. Somebody els writes for the name and address of the benefactor who puts within her reach what she cannot afford to buV, and the occasional exchange settles into a regular order of transmission often into a friendly correspondence. In this way we have established what brings happiness and profit to hundreds 3f homes. Lend a hand, will you not? Abdominal Brace for Woman.

I take this for granted. From the tenor of your note, it Is evident that the blessing of the giver is no new experience to you. Flaw in Address.

If correspondents who are careful In sign ing their names in full, attaching to them the number, street, and town in which they live, are disposed to be impatient with my oft repeated admonitions on this head, I beg them to believe that the matter is yet more un pleasant to me. Letters signed with intitials alone, which yet ask for reply by mail or post cards demanding the seme. letters signed with the names in full that make no mention of street or number, and others that say "city." leaving us in doubt in what section of the land they live, mar the enjoyment of a service which I would make entirely serv ice "-able to those who consult me.

The following excerpt from a New York letter in a Kansas City paper refers to a former Topeka girl who was in the public library: A Kansas woman who has found in terior decoration as a profession for women full of fascination is Miss Lucene Mattoon. She has climbed to the top of the ladder and she says there is plenty of room there for others. Miss Lucene Mattoon ten years ago was as sistant librarian in the public library at Topeka. Now she has a. charming studio in Gramercy Park and superin tends the furnishing of many wealthy homes in and around New York, as well as undertaking similar commis sions in distant cities. Miss Mattoon was a pupil of George M. Stone and George E. Hopkins in To peka, and her work invariably feceived flattering- attention at the local art ex hibitions. "But it was always my idea, even then, to apply my art in a decorative way," she said. "I was not satisfied just to paint a picture to hang on the wall. It seemed infinitely better to me to be able to treat a wall so that it would have no need for pictures." Miss Mattoon's dream of coming to New York to make a study' of interior decoration came true when she was of fered a position as manager of the Art Workers' club. This was something tangible and helped to sol", e the finan cial problem without interfering with her study. But the best way to learn is the practical way, and it was not long before she was really doing things instead of reading about how they ought to be done. She was fortunate in being connected with several successful decorators, and was for several years with Mr. Albert Herter and Miss Alice Neale. While with the Herter Looms she assisted in the decoration of the E. H. Harriman home at Arden and the John D. Rocke feller, Jr., home at Pocantico Hills. After nearly nine years of valuable ex perience she has proven herself quite capable of walking alone, and a large and wealthy clientage has given her a conspicuous place on the list of artists in her chosen branch. She works often in collaboration with Albert Sterner, the well known decorative painter, and the furnishing of a large clubhouse is one of the important commissions which they are soon to do together. Two beautiful houses which she has lately finished in Chicago are the Avery Coon ley's and the Russell Tyson's. Her work even extends to Detroit and Ra cine, Wis., and as far west as Portland, Ore. Some of her most interesting work is shown in the bachelor apart ments furnished recently for some of the younger Standard Oil men. Here an authentic Jacobean dining room is an achievement of which she is very proud, for these old oak pieces are much more difficult to find than the colonial. Miss Mattoon js a member of the Woman's Cosmopolitan club, to which only women belong who have risen above mediocrity in art, music or lit erature. The club has luxurious quart ers in the Gibson Studio building. Great opportunities for the girl of ar tistic ability and taste lie in the field of interior decoration. Miss Mattoon thinks. A thorough art education is a valuable asset, but is by no means nec essary. Equipped with talent, brains, a capacity of art knowledge, if she can secure a place as apprentice to a work ing decorator her way is clear. In New York on every hand is a chance to learn in the public school lecture course, in the libraries, in the art gal leries, even in the shops without spending a lot of money, 'One of the best art schools has a course in ap plied design intensive, you might call It which covers in three months the ground which, would ordinarily require three years. It is conducted entirely on practical lines and decorative prob lems must be worked out in actual practice, not in theory. While as an apprentice a girl can earn no more than $12 a week her pav advances to $25 or $30, as her ability increases. But when she is able to start out for her self she is certain of a yearly income veii up m the thousands. Dr. and Mrs. E. S.
