Mr. Palmer denies that the agree ments were in restraint of trade or that they tended to monopolize com merce but on the other hand were in tended to benefit producers and con sumers, inasmuch as they sought to regulate to a "reasonable extent only" production and price. "The iron and steel business," Mr. Palmer says in his answer, "depends on the law of supply and demand in the United States and abroad and is 'largely' regulated by this law." He further says that the parties to these agreemens acted as regulators preventing "excessively low, ruinous prices and excessively high prices." The answer concludes by denying all allegations of unlawful combina tion and confederacy and asks that the bill of complaint be dismissed. IN LINEJOR TAFT So Longer Room for Doubt Re garding the Situation, Says Mr. Hilles, Secretary to the President. Kansas state bank deposits have increased more than three millions of dollars since last August. Bank Commissioner Dolley made public today the official call of Decem ber 27 and the figures show deposits totaling $99,914,290. This is close to the 100 million mark. Mr. Dolley is pleased with the showing of Kansas etate banks at this time and with crop and business conditions for the state. Accompanying the statement of the combined 897 state banks he attached the following statement of his optim istic views on conditions for the new year: "The result of the official call of December 27, 1911, of the state banks of Kansas, is quite satisfactory. It shows the banks to be in a strong position, with an increase of deposits since August 28, 1911, of 1 3.03 1 .4 89.13. "Banking and business conditions in Kansas for January. 1912, exceeded expectations. Bank deposits have in creased. Money has been in strong demand at reasonable rates for legiti mate business purposes. The retail and general trade has been normal with the usual quiet pulse of the first month of the year. "The conditions of the 1912 wheat crop are most flattering and one of the most promising in the history of the state. Whatever may be the finish, we have in sight todav a wheat crop of from 100,000.000 to 125.000,000 bushels. The crop prospects for the current year are very pleasing. The farmers are beginning to talk and get readj' for spring work. Ranker the Best Judge. "The Kansas banker has become quite inquisitive in his relationship with the borrowers of the funds of the banks, requiring much information as to what the borrower intends to In- TAFT ISPLEASED The President Starts on Return Trip to Washington. Confident That lie Has Gained Strength in Ohio. Pittsburg, Feb. 1. Confident that his three days' Ohio visit was successful and that through it he strengthened the Republican party In his own state, President Taft passed through here on his way east today. "I have besn much gratified," said Mr. Taft today, "by the cordiality of the reception accorded me by my fellow citizens of Ohio. The visit I was en abled to make to my nat.ve state seems to have aroused strong Republican sen timent and to have dispelled erroneous impressions that had gone abroad. I enjoyed the hospitality of the people of Cleveland, Columbus and Akron and extend to them my thanks for giving m; the opportunity to address them on the broad questions of government in which we are all so deeply interested." The president's car started east from Pittsburg as a special and the rail road officials intended to run Jt special to Harrisburg. Mr. Taft is due in Washington about 5 o'clock tonight. Talks on the Tariff Board. Akron, Ohio. Feb. 1. President Taft brought his three-days' trip through northern and central Ohio to an end here with a reception and a dinner given in his honor by the Akron Cham ber of Commerce.

The banker is often a tetter judge than the borrower, as to whether he is borrowing money for a probabie successful venture. And often the banker is as deeply interest ed, and possibly more so, as to the wisdom and success of his customer's undertaking. The banker Is loaning funds that do not belong to him. They are sacred, or trust funds, so as to speak, of his depositors, and he should in every loan eliminate as far as pos sible, th-.- loss of those fun. is. and dis courage in every way recklessness and bad business, and reduce it to the low est possible minimum. He is the keep er in trust of his brother's purse, and under the statute takes sclenin pledge that he will keep that trust most sa cred. "I congratulate the Kansas bankers upon their being allowed the privilege to do a. banking business in Kansas. No state in the Union offers the pos sibilities and rich future for banking and all other lines of business, as dots Kansas. If you cannot succeed in Kansas, do not blame Providence and your luck, because I do not believe you would succeed anywhere. Gives Out the Figures. Return of official call December 27: BESOl'RCES.

L. Vorys, and L. C. Laylin, one of the managers of the Taft forces in the state. The crowds that came to the stations to greet him were large and their greetings were friendly, although much of the trip was through territory that went Democratic at the congressional election in 1910. In leading up to a discussion of the tariff board, the president spoke of the relations of the federal government to business. He made it clear that his administration intends to enforce the anti-trust law, but said he favored the enactment of a federal incorporation act to enable great corporations to operate under the "shield of a national charter." "But," said the president, "whether we have a national incorpor ation law or not, we have an anti trust law on the statute books. That law isn't going to be repealed." The president said his hearers had doubtless heard 25 lectures with 25 different laws to replace the Sherman act. "All different" and none better than that law. "Probably the best thin" to do," said Mr. Taft, "is to take this law that has stood the test more than 20 years and do our best with it. The president concluded with an en dorsement of the plan for currency re form proposed by the national mone tary commission and with a plea for the arbitration treaties. Washington, Feb. 1. In the first authorized statement he has issued in connection with the Taft campaign Charles D. Hilles, secretary to the president, predicted today President Taft would be nominated and elected. "President Taft's nomination in June is as certain as anything could be," said Mr. Hilles in his statement. "I am confident there will be little opposition to him in the national con vention and when the nomination is made, the Republicans of the country will rally to the party standard and win a great victory in November. "I would not make this prediction did I not feel that my information from all parts of the country warrants me in doing so. It is easy to make big claims and to try to deceive people and I think that a man who does so without facts and figures to justify it is guilty of deception. "A month ago, before I had gotten in touch with Republicans in all the states, I would not have said this much. "In that month I have seen the lines drawn closer and closer. In the last week the situation has cleared wonderfully with Republicans in all directions falling into line for the president and manifesting a determin ation to bring about his nomination. It is useless to speak in general terms or to undertake at short notice to go into conditions in each state, but de velopments in three of the big states within a few days ought to point con clusively to the trend." Mr. Hilles goes on to review condi tions in New York, Ohio and Indiana, claiming that President Taft has re ceived endorsements in those states which indicate they will give their del egates to him in the convention. "There has been lots of noise in Ohio," said Mr. Hillis, "but the sub stantial Republicans in every congres sional district are determined that the president shall have the delegates and j he will get them too. i "I have a telegram from Indiana- polis saying that every single member of the Republican st?-te cnmaiiit'-'e elected in thirteen congressional dis- i tricts yesterday is for Mr. Taft. That is a big change from a committee whose chairman Mr. Lee went around Washington in December, proclaiming that Indiana was hostile to the pres- j ident." IIAWLEVJS DEAD Country's Leading Railroad Magnate Dies in 3fev York. Nervous Indigestion and Heart Failure Brought End. WAS HEAD OF MANY RAILROADS Edwin Hawley Has Built and Controlled Many Lines. Kept in Touch With Business Affairs to the Last. New York, Feb. 1. Edwin Hawley, president of the Minneapolis St, Louis railroad and one of the leading railroad magnates in this country, died at his home here today after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Hawley had been a sufferer from nervous indigestion for some time and for the last few weeks had I been confined to his house at 19 East j Sixtieth street. Frequent reports that his condition was serious were denied and only yesterday Mr. Hawley said he hoped to be down town within a week or so. His death came at 4 o'clock this morning. Early in the winter Mr. Hawley had an attack of grip and returned to work betore he had sufficiently recovered As a result he suffered a relapse and his physicians told him that he would have to take a long rest. Since then Mr. Hawley has been confined to the house and recently he began to suf fer from indigestion. Early this morn ing Mr. Hawley was seized with heart failure and death followed. No ar rangements have as yet been made for the funeral. Notwithstanding his ill ness Mr. Hawley kept in constant touch with his business affairs. (Continued on Page Two.)

Feb. 1. With a filing to day of the answer of the United States Steel corporation its subsidiaries and individual defendants named in the government's suit to dissolve the big corporation because of alleged viola tions of the anti-trust laws, all the defendants concerned in the case have been heard from. The next move is for the government to file a replica tion, after which the United States court will appoint an examiner to take evidence. Besides the Steel corporation its subsidiaries and some of its directors the following also filed their answer today: Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rocke feller, sr., John D. Rockefeller, jr., Edmond C. Converse and Wm. P. Palmer. The answers are a general denial of the government's allegations. Mr. Palmer in his answer says he was president of the American Steel and Wire company when he sold all his stock in the company to the United States Steel corporation in 1901. He admits that the sales department of the American Steel and Wire company in July. 1908. entered into agreements with the wire rope association, the rubber covered wire association. the horsrfhoe manufacturers association ond four other manufacturers' associa tions named in the government peti-J tion. He states that he was told by attorneys' that the agreements were I A. T.

The annual in come of New York city from all sources has almost reached the half billion mark, according to the report j of the city chamberlain for the year I 1911. The year's receipts amounted to $464,200,000. The income for 1912 will exceed half a billion. Albert L. Morris, an old employee of the Santa Fe was found dead in bed by his son, Walter G., at their home at 333 Klein street Wednesday at noon. Mr. Morris and his son Walter,had been keeping bacbwlor hall at this place for some -time. The father has been sick for several weeks' but his condition was not considered serious. Walter G. Morris is employed at a stenographer in the oflice of John Pur cell, superintendent of the shops. He went home to dinner and not seeing his father, went to his bed room and found him dead in bed. Mr. Morris' had been dead from four to ten hours- according to the opinion of H. W. Bomgardner, the coroner The body had become cold and rigid, and being covered with the usual amount of bed clothing, the body would not become in this condition m less time than that. Mr. Morris has been sick for several weeks and has not been at w-ork. Wal ter, his son, rarely saw him in the morning before going to work, as it was custcmary for the elder Mr. Mor ris to sleep late. However, the junior Mr. Morris frequently noticed some kind of a move by the elder which was sufficient to cause him to believee he was all risrht. He did not notice this move hpfnro going to work Wednesday itiornir? but gave this no attention Mr Mnrc. Sr.. was and old em ployee of the car department at the.

The body will be buried in the Topeka cemetery. El Paso, Tex., Feb. 1. The mutineers who seized Juarez last night and in drunken frenzy looted the town, were split into small bands today, each rec ognizing only its individual leader. Eight persons are known to have been killed, and nine wounded in the overturning of the municipal govern ment and in the promiscuous firing which continued throughout the night. Others wounded are believed to be se creted in private houses. Further trouble is believed to be in evitable, as the malcontents, having de clared themselves adherents of Emil iano Zapata, who is in revolt against President Madero assert that they will fight any force sent to recapture the town. In line with this purpose, several railroad bridges south of the city were destroyed to check the advance of troop trains, and scouting parties were sent out to note the approach of gov ernment soldiers. The leaders, however, declare that they have little fear of an attack, and they claim to have been informed that the garrisoi.s at Torreon and Chihua hua also revolted last night. As all wires leading south have been cut it is impossible to verify these reports. Races Called Off. Matt Winn, manager of the Juarez ace track, formally announced that owing to the fact that Americans are not allowed to cross to the Mexican !ide there will be no racing today. He dded that today's entries will stand "or tomorrow if it is possible to resume the sport then. Colonel Estrada, de nosed commander of the garrison and hief of Police Callo, who were thrown !nto jail when the mutineers seized the own and released other prisoners, were themselves released today. The Ketelsen and Degetmu ware house, which was burned during the ignt, was set on fire when looters stp- on matches while takins- their zero mark. "The barometer is going up like the price of eggs on the market," said "Sunny" Flora today, "and that means a change in temperature." The mercury is still well above tha zero mark. At 9 o'clock the reading was 28 degrees. The shippers' forecast reads: "Pro tect 36 hour shipments north against temperature of zero; west and east against 10 degrees; .south 15 degrees." It is a bright but disagreeably windy today. At 11:50 the northwest breeze attained to the velocity of 40 miles an hour. It had the tendency to start the cold shivers running down the loiterer's back. It will be colder, but more pleasant tomorrow, is the pre diction of the weatherman.

The transfer tax appraisal of the estate of Consuelo (Y-naya), dowager duchess of Man chester, who died in London in 1909, shows she left an estate of $3,000,000, largely in American securities. The duchess directed that her jew els, including her necklace of fifty three oriental pearls, be held in trust with the understanding that the pres ent duchess, who was Miss Zimmer man, may wear them if she complies with strict conditions. The jewels, especially the necklace, must be pro tected at all times by burglary and fire insurance and the duchess of Manchester must pay the insurance if she uses the jewels. II OLD INDIAN DIES.

President Taft His Just Completed a Strenuous Campaign in Ohio. Baseball directors and a committee of stockholders will make a canvass Friday to sell at least a portion of the stock Issued by the Baseball associa tion at a recent meeting. It is hoped that between 17,000 and $8,000 or the $10,000 issued can be sold tomorrow. The stock to be sold tomorrow was voted at the meeting held about a month ago. The money raised by the sale of stock will be used in financing the team this spring and there will be enough of it to insure easy sailing for the club. It is possible that the team could get along without the is suance of the additional stock, but the management would be more or less hampered by lack of funds. With the additional stock disposed of there will be plenty of money on hand to start the season without the fear of run ning short before the cash begins to flow in at the box office. Already the directors have subscribed $2,500 of the amount required, dividing the stock among th-smselves. This leaves between $5,000 and $6,000 of the stock to be disposed of and the re mainder will be carried as treasury stock. Dividends will likely b-3 paid on the baseball stock this year as the new manager has proven himself a business man as well as a manager and the di rectors dream of a nice return on thair money. Because of the brighter out look the directors believe it will be easier to dispose of the stock than it was two years ago when Topeka men subscribed money to keep the team here. Leak Signs His Contract. Al Leak, "Sim" Bear's pitcher who seemed possessed with a desire to throw the ball through the catcher's glove last season, has attached his name to a 1912 contract and will re port early. Leak is possessed of a world of speed and Gear watched his work with Galveston last summer. He likes the soldier twirler. Gear will take up his residence here two weeks from today and will be here most ot the time until the team starts south in March. Danberry will also arrive about that time and will begin work on getting the diamond into shape. The club house will be built and the outfield graded and a lot of otner work done. WEATHER RECORD.

Governor Woodrow Wilson, -or th friendly propaganda which is directing hla presidential politics, is to have other accusations and attacks to moot and overcome, if possible, as soon as the Colonel Harvey incident has served the purpose for which it was made public. The violence and persistence of these assaults upon Governor Wil son's candidacy are spoken of by poli ticians in this city and are regarded by able politicians at Washington as sufficient proof of the strength of the popular support of Governor Wil son. He is called by these politicians the most conspicuous and possibly th most available of the men of Demo cratic faith whom the national Demo cratic convention will be asked to nominate. But veteran politicians speak of this very prominence as something which contains the gravest danger which Governor Wilson's managers will be compelled to meet. Kxceptinr in the case of a great soldier like Grant or of a president who has gained the confidence of the people in his first term, it has frequently happened that the most conspicuous of the candi dates for presidential nomination since presidents were nominated bv party conventions hnve, by reason of the opportunity to attack them and to make combinations against them, fall ed to gain the nomimttlnn.

I THE TOPEKA DAILY ST TO JOTTR2TAE FEBBTJABY 1, 1912 LSILK IS BETTER Publicity Through State Jour nal Aroused Dairymen. Customers Demanded Cleaner 31ilk and They Got It. GOOD REPORT FOR JANUARY Yery Little Sediment Is Found in Tests by Dr. Babb. City Milk Inspector Makes Statement of Conditions. The milk dealers and dairymen in Topeka and vicinity have adopted a general "clean-up" in their methods of dealing out milk to the patrons in this city. This has been due to the publicity given the condition of their milk through the office of Dr. G. F. 1 Babb, city" milk inspector, in the State Journal the first of every month. The first report given out a few months ago caused consternation in the ranks of the dairymen. They com plained that the State Journal in mak ing public the rating of their milk had lost them scores of customers. One dairyman alone lost nearly one hun dred patrons because of an unfavor able report given of his milk through the columns of the. State Journal. Today Dr. Babb gives out the re port for January. It is the best re port since the plan was started a few months ago. Dr. Babb is not back ward in declaring that it Is through the publicity given the dairies that the milk has improved. The public has demanded better milk and the dairymen and dealers know that unless they keep their milk in good condition it wili be made pub lic through the State Journal and their customers will seek other dealers. Dr. Babb has done a wonderful work In cleaning up. The dairies are as clean as can be found in the country. Dr. Babb's Report. Dr. Babb's report for the first month in 1912 follows: "It Is with considerable satisfaction that the following report for the month of January, 1912, is offered to the pub lie by the city milk and dairy inspec tor of Topeka. The satisfaction arises from a comparison with previous re ports with regard to the item of clean liness. It is believed that the general improvement shown in this respect in the samples taken this month, is due in very large measure to the publicity given through these reports. "Many dairymen have complained to me that they have lost customers be cause of unfavorable rating, but the only answer that could be given was claen up,' and they have evidently done so. It is only when the public becomes interested and demands clean milk that the best results can be se cured. "A slight change in the classification for cleanliness has been made so that now there will be recognized three grades: 1, clean; 2, slight sediment; 3j dirtv. There should be none in class 3 and there will be none if the public insists on it. Alfalfa Glen Dairy :..3.8 1 V. Bendeler ......4. 5 2 W. X.

(Continued from Page 1.) Tactics of this kind which were suc cessful with Blaine in 1876 and 1880 are now being directed with great ability against the candidacy of Gov ernor Wilson. In this city there is today much doubt whether the Har vey incident, followed, as it was, by Colonel Watterson's explanation, is likely seriously to affect Governor "Wilson's candidacy for the nomination. The adroit utilization of the name of Thomas F. Ryan, whose contribution to the Wilson campaign fund, which was tentatively offered by Colonel Watterson, was spurned, will, it is thought, greatly strengthen Governor Wilson's candidacy in many parts of the country, for the people will be easily persuaded that if Governor Wil ton's managers were suspicious lest Colonel Harvev's earlier relations with Thomas F. Ryan might caught great I embarrassment to the Wilson presi- dential nomination campaign, then j Governor Wilson would do nothing i else than say to Colonel Harvey that the support given to him bv Haroer's Weekly, of which Colonel Harvey is the editor, was an embarrassment. Three Attacks to Come. As soon as this attack upon Governor Wilson has spent its force, at least three others are to follow, not in one broadisde, but in sequence. There are intimations that either letters or ver bal communications or something in the writings of Governor Wilson can be easily construed into a sentiment of suspicion or of dislike respecting the alleged influence which the Roman Catholics of the United States are gain ing in politics and in the administration of public affairs. There are at present no details obtainable "-expecting this contemplated attack upon Governor Wilson. If this attack be made, plenty of time will be given for the full effect of It to be felt upon that portion of the Ameri can people which is of the Roman Cath olic faith. Then, when thi3 assault has had its day, a second one is to be made, presumably the choice between the two remaining ones being the disclosure of the relations which the late Grover Cleveland had with Governor Wilson when Wilson was president of Prince tion and Cleveland was a trustee of the institution. Mr. Cleveland always felt that he was in some measure responsible for the election of Professor Wilson, as he then was, to the presidency of Prince ton. Not until after Mr. Cleveland and President Wilson were brought into close official relations at Princeton did friction begin. There is no doubt that serious friction characterized their re lations as -long as Mr. Cleveland lived. Many reports have been in circulation which profess to tell what Mr. Cleve land's later estimate of the intellectual and temperamental character of Gov ernor Wilson was. Probably if the sec ond of these coming attacks is made it will be based upon authoritative dis closures of something Mr. Cleveland said or wrote about the president ot Princeton, opinions which, according to report, were not very complimentary. The Cleveland Contingent. It has been observed that the mors intimate of Mr. Cleveland's political and personal friends in this city and this state are earnestly opposed to the nomination of Governor Wilson. Some of them go so far as to say that tney would not vote for him If he were nominated. Presumably an effort will be made to bring these loyal supporters of Cleveland into active antagonism to the Wilson presidential nomination propaganda, Tha third of the attacks is, in its nature, kept secret. But that three assaults of this kind are now in contemplation Is said by those who should know, and especially by some who have recently been In Washington, to be certain. That Colonel George Harvey and i Thomas F. Ryan are or were, at least, until recently very warn- personal i friends is beyond any question, xnose. who are familiar with tire manner in which the relations between Colonel Harvey and Mr. Ryar were established say that Colonel Harvey would be an ingrate if he did not maintain :tir nis life the most cordial friendship for Mr. Ryan. Colonel Harvey, In the days of the highest activities of William C. Whit ney and Thomas F. Ryan, was made a sort of Junior member at least of on; branch of their great business family. Much of the success of Mr. Whit ney was due to the accuracy with which he measured young men and judged of their ability to render him faithful, even brilliant, service. He was a most generous benefactor. At one time he offered Elihu Root a regular retainer of one hundred thousand dol lars a year to serve in professional ca pacity the great interests which Mr. Whitney, with Mr. Ryan, wa building up. Mr. Root, however, chose to ac cept the offer of President McKinley to become secretary of war. It was about this time that Mr. Whitney and Mr. Ryan took Colonel Harvey into th?ir business family as ten years earlier they had taken into intimate business relations the late Colonel Daniel S. La mont. Just aftr Colonel Lamont retired from his service as secretary of Presi dent Cleveland, in 1SS9. Those things that were expected of Colonel Harvey w?re satisfactorily and even brilliantly achieved. The young man gained a good reputation as an executive of energy, the best of k-sen business judgment and with an un usual gift for handling men and mar shaling them to business purposes. The Harpers' Embarrassment. A few years later the great publishing house of Harper Brothers was found to be In financial embarrassment." Thu chief creditor of the house was J. P. Morgan. The debt represented large loans which Mr. Morgan had made to the publishing house. With the consent of Mr. Morgan, as the chief creditor. Har per Brothers asked S. S. McClure, then proprietor of McClure's Magazine, to un dertake to bring the property back upon a sound financial footing. Mr. McCluxe was elected president of the corporation, the representatives of the Harpers serv ing as directors. A thorough investiga tion satisfied Mr. McClure that the house was insolvent. He reported this to Mr." Morgan's counsel and it was de cided that a receivership was inevitable. The legal papers necessary in insolvency proceedings were in preparation and Mr. McClure was to be named as 'receiver. On the very day the first draft of thesa papers was completed the leading repre sentatives of Harper Brothers were taking luncheon at the Down Town club on Pine street. At a nearby table Colonel Harvey sat and after he recognized the Harpers he went over to their table and had a chat with them. They afterward reported that Colonel Harvey said to them that their house could be easily lifted from its embarrassment and that a receivership was unnecessary; where upon he was asked if he would undertake the work of saving the house and putting it upon its feet. He replied that he would, and the next day Mr. McClure was notified that different arrangements had been made and that a young, active, energetic man. thoroughly trained in business had taken charge of Harper Brothers Colonel Harvey. That is the history of Colonel Harvey's connection with this house and of his control of Harper's Weekly. Neither Mr. Morgan nor Mr. Ryan had in any way in fluenced the choice of Colonel Harvey to this post, although as the largest creditor of Harper Brothers it was necessary to ask Mr. Morgan if he had any objec tion to the employment of Colonel Har vey in this relation. From this history It will be seen that the suspicion that Wall street influences, either those identified by Mr. Ryan or by Mr. Mor gan's name, control the Harper publica tions is without foundation; so that the influence in this city is that either some malicious or some ill-informed person grievously misled Governor Wilson. HOLLAND. HOBOES IN CONVENTION They Sleet in Cincinnati for a Four Days' Session. Cincinnati Feb. 1. The, "hoboes" of the United States opened a four days' con vention here today, the order for the ar rest of the delegates should they assem ble having been withdrawn by Mayor Hunt. Mayor Hunt, In withdrawing the order, said he would allow the men to assemble but that they must hold their meetings in an orderly manner. The convention is under the auspices of the Unskilled. Migratory and Casual Workers' association as the official name of the "hoboes' organization Is called. According to the officers of the associa tion the purpose of the convention is to wake up the public to the needs of the people out of employment. Jsmes Eads How of St. Louis, the "millionaire hobo," was named as tem porary chairman. Casius C. Smith, form erly secretary and treasurer of the Un employed Protective association, acted a"i vice chairman: Alexander Thler of Port land. Ore., secretary, and Mrs. Cora D. Harvey of Oklahoma City, Okla., alter nate secretary. DIDN'T USE HISRAZOR. So A. IT. Arnold, "Patron of "Lady" Shops. Is Sued for Divoree. Chicago, Feb. 1. Too much lady bar ber was the principal charge made in a suit for divorce filed here by Mrs. Alvan H. Arnold against her husband, a wealthy manufacturer. Arnold was in the chair of his favor ite lady barber being massaged when he was served with the divorce papers, which had been drawn by Mrs. Arnold's counsel. Several women barbers w?re men tioned in the suit among them being Mrs. Daisy Mullen, who it was averred had been given a "tip" of J800 to buy a shop of her own and a "Juliet" who was said to have been given an Euro pean trip by Arnold. Suit was started once before by Mrs. Arnold on the same ground, but a re conciliation 'was effected when Arnold purchased a safety razor and promised to shave himself. ON THE WIRELESS Topeka May IlaTe a Station of Its Own. Geo. E. Stoker Is Here to For ward the Plan. REACH ACROSS THE CONTINENT This City May Be on Transcon tinental Route. Says He Has Been Authorized to Establish One. Topeka may have a wireless telegraph station. At least there is a move in that direction and a number of influ ential business men in the city have become interested in the proposition. George E. Stoker, attorney for the Federal Telegraph company organized under the laws of California, and who was formerly for 12 years a well known lawyer in Topeka, is here in the in terests of the company which he rep resents. "I am here to get a station established in Topeka provided enough business men are interested," said, Mr. Stoker today. "Under ordinary condi tions Topeka wouldn't get a station at this time, for we are installing the stations in the larger cities. However, when I was in Topeka recently several business men became interested in the plan and when I returned to San Fran cisoo the company authorized me to n. v.,. installation of a sta- n i m tion provided that certain conaitions are complied with. "The Federal Telegraph company controls the Poulsen patent rights cov ering wireless telegraphy for the Uni ted States and its aependencies. in cluding Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha waii and the Philippine Islands. These rights are the inventions of Valdemir Pouisen of Copenhagen, Denmark. Poulsen is renown as the 'Danish Edi son,' and has made many noted dis coveries in electricity aside from his perfection of the system of wireless telegraphy. His method of producing the wireless wave is by what is known as an arc in hydrogen, as distinguished from the spark methed employed by other wirelets companies. The Poulsen wave is far superior to any other, as is demonstraed by the ability tc send it over land as well as over water, and in the daytime as well as at night. Other wireless companies can do neither of these things to the extent of making their system a com mercial success. "The Federal Telegraph company now has a line of stations extending from Seattle to Chicago, and is doing an active commercial business in compe tition with the two wire companies, between these points, at all times of the day and night. The service is just as reliable and accurate as that given by the wira companies, and is much faster. "The comi.any commenced its com mercial activity on the Pacific coast, and at the present time most of it cufetomers are located in", the cities of Portland, San Francisco. Los Angeles and Sau Diego, although recently the business has grown rapidly at Phoenix. ElPaso, Ft. Worth, Dallas and Kansas City. "You may be interested to know what same of our customers say of the service iho company gives. For in stance the Bank of Calilornia, the larg est financial institution west of Chi cago, says: 'The service rendered by your company has been uniformly satisfactory to us, and we have given your office a large share of our busi ness to points reached by your system. "The following from Duncan Campoell Co wholesale fruit and produce brokers of San Francisco: 'The service is complete; in fact better than given by either of the old line companies. "And this from the California Fruit Growers" Exchange: 'We have been us ing the Federal Telegraph service ex clusively since last July, and find that we have received a faster, more ac curate and better service at less mon ey than when we were using either or the competitive companies.' "I could give similar reports from hundreds of other firms, brokers and barkers, showing that the system is not an experiment, but an actual com mercial success. "Unlike other wireless companies tre Federal comrany was not promoted as a stock jobbing proposition. It nas been unanced from the beginning by a few very wealthy men of San Fran cisco, 'i have up to the present time expended over $400,000 in estab lishing and extending the service. Not until the present time has a share of stock been offered for sale to the public- but now that the system has been proven a success a limited amount of stock will be sold in each town in which a station is established in order to se cure interested friends in as many com munities iaspossJble1 HAWLEY IS DEAD (Continued From Page One.) The constructive work of Mr. Hawley in the railroad field has onen uee.i compared to that of the late Edward H Harriman. With his associates Mr. I Hawley controlled the Chesapeake Ohio, the Iowa Central, the Minneapo lis St. Louis, the M., K. T., the. Hocking Valley, the Toledo, St. Louis Western, and other lines. Quite re- cently he was asked to undertake the r-padjustment ot we aua.ua ul Wabash railroad. The stock market was not affected by the news of Mr. Hawley's death. C. O. went off two po'nts. Was a Clerk on Erie. He was 61 years old and his earliest railroad service began in 1867 as a clerk on the Erie railroad. His im portant work was done between 1890 and 1902 in the service of the South ern Pacific, where he was the right hand man of the late Collis P. Hunt ington. The socalled Hawley system of railroad has been built up within the last fifteen years. Mr. Hawley was a bachelor and the only relative with him when he died was his nephew, Walter S. Crandell, a mem ber of the Hawley firm. Mr. Hawley had just finished prepa rations for a trip to Palm Beach, where he expected to spend the rest of the winter. Edwin Hawley was one of the great est railroad men the country has ever known. He was a railroad magnate who has built and controlled thousands of miles of railroad and has been an ad visor in many of the largest railway undertakings in the history of the United States. His death does not come as a sur prise to railway men who have been acquainted with Mr. Hawley's physical condition in the last few months. He has been suffering from a nervous in digestion and in an interview with the Associated Press yesterday, Mr. Haw ley said the reports of his condition "were greatly exaggerated." He said this in answer to a question from a reporter who asked him if he had heard the report that he was dying. Hawley's answer was like the answer given by Mark Twain when he was in terviewed before his death. Edwin Haw ley was only 62 years old at the time of his death. He .was born in Chatham. New York, in 1850. Mr. Hawley was connected with va rious railway systems over the United States. He was resident of the Min neapolis St. Louis railway. President of the Iowa Central. President of the Iowa Central Western road. He was president also of the Des Moines Fort Dodge railroad and the Great Western Power company. Mr. Hawley was a director of the Colorado Southern railway; the Colorado Springs Cripple Creek road; the Toledo, St. Louis Western railway; the Western Pacific railway; the Newport News Shipbuilding Dry Dock company; the Colorado Fuel Iron- company; the American Ex change National bank, and the Guar anty Trust company. HOLD THE TOWN (Continued from Page l. The mutineers have established a guard at the Mexican ends of the In ternational bridges and are refusing permission for Americans to cross. De tachments of the 4th U. S. cavalry are guarding the American approaches of the bridges. The mutineers are in ab solute possession of every public build ing In the town and have destroyed many public records. Cause of the Mutiny. Various reasons' are given for the mutiny. Some say they mutinied be cause some of their fellow soldiers had been ordered discharged; some declare they rebelled because Madero has not brought about the reforms he promis ed. Some say that Pasqual Orozco, their former chief and still the idol of the former rebels in northern Mex ico is" going to join the Zapata cause and that they are with him. None of them seems to kn whom they want for president but they all insist that "Madero must resign." The train due from the south over the Mexican national line this morn ing did not arrive, presumably being held at Chihuahua, although all wires are down between Jaurez and Chihua hua. No attempt has yet been made at Juarez to molest the Mexican North western railroad, which also runs to Chihuahua, but its wires are down 100 miles south of Juarez. Jail Is Wide Open. The Juarez jail is standing wide open, not a prisoner in it. The muti neers are using the military barracks for any prisoners they are holding. There are no field pieces or artillery of any kind in Juarez so the mutineers have only rifles, pistols and dynamite bombs for defending themselves in case of an attack should they resist, as they threaten. No damage has been done to the racing plants of the Juarez Jockey club and all horses are safe. No street cars are operating between Juarez and El Paso. By noon nearly all the resident of Juarez had fled to El Paso and many poor families are camping in the open country on the American bank of the river. The weather ia sunshiny to day, although there was ice last night, and the campers suffered considerably before daybreak. Loot and Burn. Col. Edgar Z. Steever, with two troops of the Fourth cavalry, patrolled the American side of the Rio Grande and de clined to permit Americans to cross to the Mexican shore. The garrison of Juarez, El Paso's Mexi can neighbor across the river, rose in re volt at 6:30 o'clock last night and in half an hour were in possession of the city. Looting and promiscuous shooting- pre vailed for hours. Shortly after midnight an Italian sur geon holding a commission in the Mexi can army, who has just arrived in El Paso from Juarez, declared that he had counted 15 dead, including two Ameri cans a man and a boy 12 years old. The boy was lying in the street. He had been shot through the breast. Most of th3 dead, he said, were near the customs house. C. F. Davis, reporter for a Memphis newspaper, was in Colonel Estrada's headquarters telephoning when the upris ing took place, and he was placed under arrest. The guard who was placed over him was shot in the head. When an other soldier appeared Davis hit him over the head and escaped, running down an unlighted alley with bullets whizzing about him. He reported that a man whom he knew as "Levy" and another man whose name he did not know, were arrested with him. Commander Is Imprisoned. The commander of the garrison was thrown into prison and the chief of po lice locked in with him, while previous prisoners were released. American residents in Juarez and many Mexican officials and citizens fled to the American side. Two Americans, Gus Ruhnke and Fred L. Leyva, employed in a gambling report devoted to the favorite Mexican game of keno, were wounded when the building in which the game was in progress was riddled with bullets. Other gambling houses were fired upon. A passenger train about to depart over the Mexican Central for Chihuahua and the City of Mexico was detained by the malcontents. Four troops of cavalry from Fort Bliss were rushed to the American bank of the Rio Grande to protect citizens and pre serve neutrality. Guards were stationed at the street car and the railroad bridges and at the two bridges at the smelter, a mile west of El Paso. Refugees were as sisted across the bridges and the fordable places along the river. A-5 near as can be ascertained the up rising was due to a report, printed in a Chihuahua newspaper, stating that Ger eral Pascual Orozco. one of the leaders and idols of the Madero revolution, had rsiened his military position at Chihua hua and to the discharge of 110 men of Juarez garrison. The dismissal of these troops was taken as confirmation of the Orozco report. Only Three Killed. Only tixreu men were killed in Juarez during the night according to careful count this morning. One of the men was Cipriano Torres, an insurrecto. The other two have not been identified. The mutineers burned all the papers in the jail and the court 'adjoining, after free ing the prisoners last night. Col. Estrada, commandant of the troops at the time of the mutiny and Col. Gallo, chief of police who were imprisoned last night are now at lib erty Mariano Rodriguez, assistant chief of police until the mutiny is now locked in the military barracks charg ed with having killed Torres. Among the prisoners liberated when the jail was broken open was George Monroe, a negro Jur.t extradited from Ei Paso on the charge of having murdered Jess Burtchell at the Juarez, race track a year ezo.

Sheridan county, according to Mr. Schlieher, has 130,000 acres planted to wheat, many thousands more than the average area, and expects to ia.is3 two million bush els this year. The wheat is in fine shape, the heavy fall of snow doing a world of -good. There is six inches of snow now lying on the ground in Sheridan county. The Union Pacific railway helped in tha seed wheat business and so did many people. Some of the farmers had to leave the county but those who re mained expect double returns on every thing this year. Mr. Schlieher called at the governor's office today and he is an optimist from the headwaters of South Fork river. ALASKA IS SHAKEN, Earthquake the Severest Ever Felt in That Territory. Valdez, Alaska, Feb. 1. A violent earthquake shock was felt here at 10:12 Wednesday, continuing 50 sec onds. The movement was from north east to southwest, with an oscillation of six degrees. The earthquake was the severest ever experienced here. Three more shocks were felt at in tervals of about an hour. The second shock was of ten seconds' duration, and was strong, although not as vio lent as the first one. The others were light. The tremor was of sufficient vio lence to shake goods off the shelves in the stores and to stop clocks in all parts of the town. Caused Buildings to Rock. Cordova, Alaska, Feb. 1. Four shocks were felt at Cordova, the first and most severe coming at 11:12 o'clock in the morning. Three lighter shocks followed at intervals of about an hour. The first shock lasted ten seconds, and caused buildings to sway alarm ingly. Everyone rushed into the street for safety, but no damage was done. A wireless message from St. Paul island says all are well on the Priby loff islands. Two weeks ago com munication with the island was lost and it was feared a severe earth quake was responsible, but the mes sage said a severe gale wrecked the aerial at that time. Quake Caught at Lawrence. Lawrence, Kan.. Feb. 1. A violent earthquake shock supposed to have its center in the northern part of South America, was recorded on the seis mograph at the University of Kansas Wednesday afternoon. The disturb ance lasted one hour. The preliminary tremors began at 2:19:30 o'clock and lasted thirteen minutes. The most violent part of the disturbance lasted five and one-half minutes. The motion was stronger in the north and south than in the east and west. University officials esti mated the scene of the shock as being 2,700 miles away. LEE IS FOUND GUILTY.

The inquiry for stocks covering was sufficient to force up puotations considerably. The death of Edwin Hawley had no effect upon Hawley stocks. The Copper group was helped by the large decrease in the supply of copper abroad. Aggressive buying cease alter 11 o clock and there was a gradual decline which virtually wiped out the previous advances. Southern Pacific show ed especial weakness, falling well under yesterday's close to 106. Bonds were irregular. The lull in the selling occurred when the accumulation of supporting orders and the demand of the short Interest began to have an effect. Prices did not respond very vigorously and buying slackened on the rally. The leading stocks rose to a higher level at the opening today after yesterday's severe break. United States Steel rose Utah Copper rose 1, Union Pacific 1 and Lehigh Valley, Reading and Inter Metropolitan New York Central, St. Paul and American Sugar also were strong. Canadian Pacific lost 2 and C. and O 1. Some of the stocks with which Edwin Hawley was Identified weakened on the announcement of his death but the gen eral market was not affected. Chesapeake and Ohio declined about two points and Iowa Central and Kansas and Ohio 1. Realizing sales forced prices down tem porarily but the advance was soon re sumed and the important stocks reached a higher level than at the outset. United States Steel touched 60, Reading 154 and Union Pacific 162. Teh market closed strong. Room shorts were brough up with a quick turn In tha closing hour. Concerted buying caused a scramble to cover which oblitereted teh day's losses. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and United States Steel which had been the weak feature rallied to well above yesterday's close and they were exceptionally heavy buying of Reading which sent it up 2. St. Paul, American Smelting and New York Central also reg istered gains of about a point. New York Money Market. New York, Feb. 1.

A. E. Sweet and J. B. Smalley Stay at Head of Territory. TINSMAN'S WORK NOT KNOWN Xo Explanation as to His Dnty as Assistant to Mndge. Other Items of General Interest in the Traffic World. In making the wholesale changes In the operating department of the Rock Island Lines President Mudge and the board of directors did not disturb the close organization of the second dis trict with headquarters at Topeka. The first and third districts at. Chicago and El Reno were shifted and buiTeted about until the list of officials wvll look like a Etr&nge loster to the aver age railroad man. A. E. Sweet, general manager in To peka ana J. B. Smalley, general super intendent in thi3 city, will stay at their headquarters here. The superintendent of .the St. Louis division was the only man who was transferred from the second district organization. The rumors current in Topeka a shori time ago calling for the resignation of W. S. Tinsman as general manager of the first district, had it figured out that the headquarters of every district would tie changed. To the layman this would be the natural cause. To the railroad man it would be a foolish action to break up every district and shift offi cials from their organization. In the Hock Island shakeup enly the first and third districts suffered changes. Presi dent Mudge did not reach out into the second district for transfers. No one seems to know the character of the special duties that have been assigned to W. S. Tinsman. He is made assistant to the president assigned to special work. This in all probability will riot bo announced. Operating men will find it out later when Tinsman takes up his duties. In all the rush of ths late reports of the appointments Wednesday evening a number of errors were made in the spelling of names of officers and in their positions. T.4J correct report coming out today gives the appoint ments: A. C. Ridgway. formerly assistant to the second vice president at Chicago is made vice president to succeed F. O. llelch-er who was killed in an Illinois Central wreck a short time ago. W. S. Tinsman, formerly general manager of the first district at Chicago has been assigned to other duties and will be known as an assistant to President Mudge. W. M. Whitenton, formerly general manager of the third district at El Reno goes to Chicago as general manager of the first district to succeed W. S. Tins man. Charles W. Jones, who was gen eral superintendent of the first district at Davenport, la., is promoted to gen eral manager of the third district with headquarters at El Reno to succeed hitenton. Jones at one time was gen eral superintendent in Toptka. F. J. Easley, division superintendent of Rock Island, is promoted to the general superintendence' to succeed C. W. Jone3 at Davenport as general su perintendent of the first district. H. II. Hallock, superintendent at El Reno has resigned. He is succeeded bv J. McGIe of Fort Worth, Texas. Charles L. Ruppert, superintendent of the Amarillo division at Amarillo is transferred to Fort Worth to take the place vacated by McGie. M. J. Ken nellv. superintendent of the St. Louis division, is transferred to the superin tendency of the Missouri division with headquarters at Trenton. Mo. H. I Reed, who was superintendent of the Missouri division at Trenton, goes to Rock Island as superintendent of the Illinois division. A. E. Walker, who was trainmaster at El Reno. Okla., goes to Amarillo to succeed "uppeu as superintendent of the Amarillo division. ATTEMPTING TO RAISE RATES. Commerce Commission Stops a Well iMid Railway Selieme. Chicago, Feb. 1. Charges of bad faith and attempts to deceive were made against railroads by Clifford Thorne, state railroad commissioner of Iowa, during the hearing on the new rate schedule propos-ad to be put in effect in certain western states February 15, before George N. Brown, chief examin er for the interstate commission her3. The ra'Iroads are attempting to inau gurate a system of higher rates which were proposed by the interstate com merce commission in a decision in Feb ruary, 1911, said Mr. Thorne. Mr. Thorne spoke for nine state railroad commissioners who are involved in the hearing. The commissioner maintained that they should be given 120 days in which to examine th-3 proposed new schedules. A total number of 5,010 items or sub jects are affected by the new schedule. The following changes are provided for: Advances. 85S-16.88 per cent; re ductions, 54 3-10.83 per cent; new rates, 955-19.08. On the remaining 2.668 items or 53.21 per eent of the schedule the old rates will remain in force. Replying to Mr. Thome's statement Chief Examiner Brown said: "The railroads have expended $250,000 and three years time apparently to unify their western rates, but I assure you if the commission Snds that they are attempting to create a general ma terial increase in rates and -evade the previous ruling of the commission that the schedule will be suspended 112 days." RAILWAY NOTES. X. M. Rice, general storekeeper of the Santa Fe at Topeka, is making a tour of inspection of the coast lines of the road. He has a Pullman compartment car. M. IT. Haig, mechanical superintendent of the Santa Fe at Topeka, was with W. F. Buck on his last trip in the west. It was through Mr. Haig that the news of Mr. Buck's death was heard in this city. C. W. Kouns, general manager Of the Santa Fe at Topeka, will sail from New York for Europe February 3. Mr. Kouns left this city Tuesday evening. Recently a special train of four steel coaches made a run of J38 miles in 136 minutes on the Galena dU'ision of the Chicago Northwestern. Premiums aggregating $3,500 have been distributed among the section foremen of the Lackawanna. This month the supreme court of the Fnited States will hear the first argument in the matter of the appeal from the decis ion of the commerce court in the inter mountain cases. The giant turntables of the Katy rail road. designed and built for the shops at Waco, Tex., have been shipped from the eastern steel mills, together with oth er heavy apparatus needed. The assem bling of steel rails and ties will begin at once, it is understood, also active work Is expected to begin at any time. The road will expend about $500,000 on the terminals at Waco. The appraisal of the estate of John Rogers Maxwell, chairman of the execu tive board of the Central railway of New Jersey, and president of the Atlas Cement company, who died at his Brooklyn home a month ago. shows that his estate amounts to $2,200,000. Of this, the widow will get $700,000, and $500,000 apiece will go to each of his two sons. Mrs. Louise M. Whitney, the only daughter, gets $250,000. GUILTY OF MURDER. Jury Convicts MaeFarland on Cirsum stantial Evidence. Women s Secrets 4& T 7 3 There is one man in the TJnit4 States who has perhaps heard more women's secrets than my other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex pectations is proved by the fact that 98 per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierce or his able staff, have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a-mil-lion women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal. and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases. Every sick woman may consult ns by letter, absolutely without charge. AH replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without any print ing or advertising whatever, upon them. Write without fear as without fee, to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R. V. Pierce, President, 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. DR. PIERCE'S FATORITE PStESCStnPTIOJ 3Ttlx.e0 Wek. XTomoEi. troiis, ESioliL Women Well. Newark, N. J., Feb. 1. The jury in the case of Allison M. MaeFarland, on trial for the murder of his wife by cyanide poisoning, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree shortly be fore midnight. When the foreman pronounced the ver--ict the accused man seemed stunned for a moment, but he did not break down. He turned to Andrew MaeFarland, his 77-year-old uncle, who had been keeping him company in the wait for the verdict, and as they grasped hands the prisoner smiled coolly. "You have got to take life as it comes" the aged uncle said, but MaeFarland made no reply. The conviction of MaeFarland was mninlv on circumstantial evidence. His wife met death on the night of October 17, last, when MaeFarland was absent from home, by taking cyaniae of potas sium, which the state alleged MaeFar land had deliberately substituted for headache medicine which Mrs. MaeFar land was in the habit of taking. Mac Farland's declarations that he had told his wife about the cyanide and that if she took it by mistake that it was by her own carelessness, were greatly offset by more than seventy letters which passed between MaeFarland and his former stenographer in Philadelphia, Florence Bromley, in order to marry whom the state alleged that MaeFarland planned to get rid of his wife. INDIANA IS DIVIDED. Republican Sentiment Appears Large ly to Favor Taft. GEAR AGAINST IT Doesn't Want to Use Players Farmed Out. This Will Probably Keep Chap I man Away From Here. 'DENVER SCRIBES ARE WH0X8 O'Neil Is Xot Trying to Give Town Bad Deal. Two Good Story Tellers in Western League. Because the Western league meeting i3 to be held in Chicago instead of Denver as originally planned, the Denver scribes, and there are some clever, likable fellows among them, are jumping onto O'Neil with both feet. This is not fair to the Hon. Tip. O'Neil isn't in the business to hand anyone any bad deals. He is working for the good of his circuit. His Job is worth some money to Tipperary and he works to keep it and make the league stronger. It's only natural. And we fail to see any reason that he should want to cause Denver trouble. Denver is the best ball town in the league. Magnates do not usually go out of the way to make trouble for such towns. To be sure, many a ques tion is so decided as to give the weak er towns a chance at what looks to be the expense of the larger ones. It's a way baseball men have and it's a pretty good way. But to take the schedule meeting away from Denver, just to be doing it, looks unreasonable on the face of It. Magill is a square, fair sportsman and if he has a kick it would be listened to with respect by every writer in the league. But the Denver sport writers should jump onto O'Xeil for something else. He kept the meeting out of Colorado to avoid service should an injunction suit be brought by Puebloans in their ef fort to prevent the team being moved to Wichita. Be square with Prexy. In view of the suggestions of some of the men who get out dope on the Western circuit, that Comiskey is be coming the owner of the Western league, a statement of Dale Gear to the Topeka fans may not be amiss. Gear declares- he was against the farm idea in baseball. "If a player knows he doesn't belong to your club he will work for himself and not for the club," Gear declares. "It is the fellow who knows you have the say about him who tries. It's up to him to please you." Gear's sentiment is what will probably prevent Chapman from com ing back to Topeka in case he is not used by the Cubs this summer. Chap man is a good catcher but will likely not be available for the Cubs he pres ent season. Another summer of min or baseball will likely be meted out to him. The Topeka club has a contract that he will not be sent elsewhere un til this1 club has been given a chance at him. He will still remajn the prop erty of the Cubs and will be subject: according to this agreement, to recall by them. And Gear has said ro. No such deal foc him. His players, he announces, must be free from entan glements with other clubs. And so some one else will probably give Chap man his training this summer. Eddie Gagnier led the shortstops in all minor leagues last year, playing 156 games with a percentage of 957. The players signed by Gear are be ginning to cause some comment around the circuit. So also has his method of preparing for the season. While some of the scribes call attention to the heaviness on the youngster side of the team most of them acknowledge that, the new Kaw manager is likely to cause some trouble with those who hope for pennants. Contracts have been mailed to 18 Wichita players and the new manage ment is hopeful on the holdout propo sition. The officers feel that they have been as liberal with the salary propo sition as the condition of the club will warrant and say they have treated the players fairly in the matter of pay. Those who will receive contracts are: Al Shaw, Uhlrichville, Ohio: Danny Claire, Ludnigh, Mich.; B. M. Weller, Rochester, N. T.; Phil Koerner, Pueb lo, Colo.; Samuel Wright, Cesedo, w. Va.; Carlie Jackson, Scotsbluff, Neb.; Russell Routt. Omaha, Neb.; Ralph Craig. Trinidad. Colo.: "Tank" Davis, Neosho, Mo.: Clyde Middleton, Flat Rock, 111.; Ira Belden, Denver, Colo.; Paul Wacob. Pasadena, Cal.: W. E. Ellis, Piggot, Ark.; Jimmie Durham, Douglass. Ivan.; Gordon Harmon, Blackwell, Ok.; J. J. Bechtold, St. Louis, Mo. Anyhow, they ought to settle that Lin coln row in time to allow the fans there to become enthusiasic over the team this year. Lincoln supports a team so royal ly that tine bugs there do not deserve this sort of a squabble. May-be Wichita is behind the ball team. If you say anything mean enough about the town you can get a "Rise" occasion ally out of one of the sport scribes there. TTp at Des Moines the Register and Leader is running a daily dope story by Frank Isbell. Pretty good way to work up an Interest in the leader of the team and Isbell tells good stories. Beside that he is good for an unlimited supply. Jay Anderson is also breaking into print reg ularly in the Western league papers now and Jay plays a good second to Isbell m the Reminiscence stunt. The White Sox will play a couple of exhibition games in Des Moines this spring. Two men, Matticks and Benz who were former Des Moines players, will be with the squad. The Western league had five of the most industrius players in their positions in organized baseball last year, according to W. A. Phelon, who has made a study of the number of games participated in by Individuals. The Coast league with its 202-game schedule. Is excepted.

"In Calgary in the summer time it fre quently happens that two games of base ball are played after supper," said Ed ward Court of Traer, who frequently visits Canada. "It remains broad daylight until about lO o'clock at night so that it is very easy to play after supper. When there is a double header at night the game starts about 6 or 6:30. When there is one game, it frequently does not start till 9 o'clock in the evening.

It sounds encouraging to hear a man of Bill Rourke's experience in the Western league declare that Des Moines shows prospects of a great baseball year. There are none who know the Western league as does this same Rourke. He was one of its founders and is now the only man yet connected with it who had that honor. He has watched conditions in Des Moines for a quarter century and knows every phase of the situation here. Rourke was one of those who stuck tena ciously to Des Moines throughout all of the disheartening years of the Higgins regime and insisted that it would make good if given the opportunity. He has kept closely in touch with everything pertaining to baseball here in the months since Higgins retired from control, and watched the symptoms for a revival of interest with) the eye of an expert. His prediction concerning the season of 1912 was made after a close study of every angle and there seems no doubt now that Des Moines will make good.

Jimmy Ioyle, third baseman of the Chicago Cubs, is in a hospital here in a critical condition. Doyle was taken ill on Fri day and on Sunday he was hurried to the hospital, where he was operated on for appendicitis. With his usual gameness Doyle had not complained when first taken with the pains and the physicians found their task no easy one. While not out or danger, Doyle is doing very nicely. It is very doubtful if he will be able to report for the spring training of the Cubs. HOGAN -MCK PHY BOI7T DRAW. Murphy Excels at In-Fighting But Ilogan Hits Hard. Pan Francisco, Feb. 1. Harlem Tommy Murphy of New York, and "One Round" Hogan, of San Francisco fought 20 rounds to a draw here. The decision of the referee was well re ceived by the crowd. From the start. Murphy showed a desire for in-fighting and the referee was kept busy forcing the men apart. Murphy hit well in the clinches but refused to take any chances af distant fighting. Hogan's favorite blow was a stiff left which he landed nearly every time that Murphy came Into a clinch. In the eighth round Hogan sent Murphy to the ropes and the New Yorker seemed In a bad way. In the ninth Murphy was against the ropes when the bell rang. Murphy landed the greater number of blows and did the more telling work in the close fighting, but at no time wsi the local boy in any apparent danger. In the tenth Hogan caught Murphy a hard right on the eye and a second or so later was bleeding at the mouth from a hard left. The majority of the rounds were even and in the eigh teenth Murphy rushed matters and had all the better of the round. His punches carried a sting, while those of Hogan had lost their force. The last round found both men fighting hard. Murphy repeatedly rushing into clinches. He slowed up at the end, Hogan having landed sev eral hard rights while pushing Mur phy out of clinches. OH! OH!

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the foil day xeieirrann renort of that great news or ganisation Tor the exclusive afternoon publication in Toneka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur roe -Ltwn in Aiaoama there is an una- tumlty of opinion that Oscar W. Un derwood Is as good as nominated and elected president. And the list of the forty American Immortals as selected by the National Institute of Arts and Letters neither Includes the name of Senator La Fol lette nor that of Jeff Davis of Arkan sas. President Taft la warranted, Indeed, In expressing Impatience with his crit ics. They have been most unfair. He also has good reason to be proud of the accomplishments .of his adminis tration. EHeven of the New York Giants measure from six feet to six feet fowr Inches in height. This ought to make them pretty nifty on high and wild throws but correspondingly awkward on pick-upa. Every rose has its thorn. A reading of those letters exchanged between Woodrow "Wilson and Colonel Harvey shows both of them not only to be perfectly lovely characters, but also exceedingly clever in covering up the real causes that led to the rupture between them. So lax are the banking laws of Con necticut that not even a balance of the books of one of the banks there has been struck for years. But what might be expected of a state where nutmegs of the wooden variety have been developed Republican insurgents in the house of representatives divided about equal ly on the steel revision bill, twenty supporting it and fourteen voting against it. That explains one of the weaknesses of the insurgent cause. They cannot even agree among them selves on any proposition. Somebody will be sure to accuse the Democratic leaders of the house of representatives of being opposed to the promotion of universal peace in view of their decision not to provide any money this year for the continuance of the naval program of building two new monster battleships each year. It would appear that the list of the things that grow in the fields of Kan pas which will kill live stock, accord ing to the investigations of the' experts Rt the state agricultural college, is as Extensive as are the numbers given to the "foolish questions" which ap pear occasionally in this newspaper. So prompt was the denial from La Tollette headquarters that the little piant of Wisconsin and Colonel P.oose velt had entered into a combine to work together in gobbling up delegates to the Republican national convention that the Colonel was thereby saved the trouble of wielding the big stick bn such a silly canard. President Taft is quite right in pointing cut that the chances are bet ter for a larger prosperity in the coun try than in the cities. That explains why conditions have been fairly pros perous in the great central west dur ing the past couple of years while they Tnave been anything but that in the eastern section of the country where the great bulk of the population is congested in the cities. Governor Stubbs also appears to be a pretty good hand at keeping a se cret. To New York reporters he said, the other day: "I am convinced that Theodore Roosevelt will be the next president of the United States. I held this view even while he was in Africa." And it's a noticeable fact that Gov ernor Stubbs said nothing about this Idea of his until evidences began to multiply that the La Follette presiden tial boom was falling flat. If the city commissioners had raised the annual emergency fund of $25,000 that is provided for in the city commission law, there would have been no suggestion of trouble for them because some of the commissioners exceeded their budgets to meet re.al emergencies. Nor should any trouble le made for them on this score. Gov erning the city under the commission plan Is relatively new in Topeka. The mistakes the commissioners have made may well be charged to inexperience. They seem to have served the city well, and no one will deny the need that existed for some of them to run over their budgets to meet such emergen cies as developed. Only those people who. have never made mistakes are in a position to criticze the city commissioners. MAKE FARM HOMES ATTRACTIVE It would be strange, indeed, if the averag.j boys and girls, reared on the farms, did not look forward to the time when they would make their home in the city, says the Kansas In dustrialist, editorially, in its issue that was exclusively the work of the stu dents in industrial journalism at the K. S. A. C. The common aim of the farmer is to remain on the farm only until he has accumulated enough wealth to enable him to live in the city; the farm being considered only as a temporary place of abode, a mine as it were, where lie can go down and dig for a white, and come to the surface to live. If the children are t liiugni. iu iook upon Tnt iarm in uus light they, naturally, plan to leave it, and make their living elsewhere in the beginning. Why not build a good house on the farm? Have it heated by a furnace; have it equipped with plumbing, the pressure coming from an elevated tank. Hot and cold water may be had, with i bath, and all other conveniences en joyed by the city dweller. Make the house modern in every sense. Have a lawn, for there is plenty of room. Watering may be done by simply turning a tap from the tank. There should be a substantial and attractive lawn fence, so that the live stock and poultry can not get on the lawn. Shade trees should be planted densely enough to give plenty of shade. Not only should the house be well built, and have a neat appearance from without, but it should be well finished inside, and well furnished. Why doesn't the farmer have hard wood floors, oak finish; a piano, and a pianola, if he does not have the good fortune to have a musician In the family. Every member of the family should have a bedroom furnish ed in accordance with his own taste, and decorated as he or she likes, so that there may be something to call one's own, in which there is always a personal pride. If the home compares favorably with the best of the city homes, the children will take pleasure in entertaining friends from city or country. In general, prepare to live on the farm, not merely to exist there, and boys and girls will have a much bet ter opinion of the farm and farming. They will not be eager to leave. If they see some good reason for staying. LEGAIi AID WORK. A permanent national association of legal aid societies is to be the out growth of a convention held in Pitts burg. Although the New York Legal Aid Society has completed its thirty- fifth year, this Pittsburg meeting mark ed the first attempt to bring together representatives of all organizations do ing legal aid work. 'Fifteen delegates represented thirteen organizations, ranging from committees of associated charities to a municipal bureau. Only two organizations doing such work," says The Survey, "were not represented; viz th-e New Jersey Legal Aid Society, Newark, N. J., and the Los Angeles Legal Aid Society. "The West had the distinction of presenting the most interesting and progressive idea at the convention. Kansas City, in the person of C. J. Fleming, advanced the postulate ap parently a novel one to a majority of the delegates that legal aid to the poor should properly be a function of the city government. "Attorneys interested in the situation are reaching at least approximate agreement throughout the country upon the remedial measures necessary to protect the poor from loan sharks and ignorant foreigners from victimization which are the two chief problems of all legal aid work. "Mr. Blaxter and other Pittsburg speakers offered striking information as to methods used to victimize foreign ers. Delegates were told that Edgar Prochnic, Austro-Hungarian vice-consul In Pittsburg, estimated after an investigation that his people in the steel district were victimized in various ways to the extent of $1,000,000 in the year 1910. Gino C. Speranza, deputized by the Italian government to investi gate the victimizing of Italians in the Pittsburg district, was reported to have found conditions equally bad among his fellow-countrymen. He placed the prin cipal blame upon naturalized and English-speaking Italians who are ap pointed as constables and similar minor officials." Killing of Sitting Bull. "Twenty-one years ago tomorrow Col. W. F. Cody ('Buffalo Bill') start ed from Mandan, N. D., armed with an order signed by General Miles au thorizing him to treat with Sitting Bull, then engaged in ghost dancing at his home near Grand river, on the Standing Rock reservation, for the surrender of The redoubtable old chief and the few braves he had yith him." remarked John F. Hennessey of Rush ville. Neb., at the Willard recently. "Maj. James McLaughlin, then agent at Standing Rock, who had been in charge of Sitting Bull and the other Teton Sioux, who had surrendered a few years after the Custer massacre, knowing the temper of the Indians, made representations to the war de partment which resulted in the can cellation by General Schofield. acting secretary of war, of the order held by Buffalo Bill, and he was turned back when a few miles southwest of the military post at Standing Rock, and the major proceeded after his own fashion to bring about the sup pression of the ghost dancing that threatened to precipitate trouble. "Sitting Bull had about 150 of his people with him. The daily program of the old chief consisted of a Turk ish bath in a 'wickiup,' an air-tight compartment, in which red-hot stones were placed, the steam being generat ed by pouring cold water on the stones. After the bath the Indian would take a dip into cold water. Then the Indians would begin their dancing and continue it until one or more collapsed. "From keeping up this ghost danc ing. Sitting Bull and his men had be come so exhilarated that they refused to come into the agency, and the dan ger was Imminent that there would be an uprising. It was on Saturday even ing, December 14, that Major Mc Laughlin, co-operating with the com manding officer of the post, sent a de tail of Indian police, consisting of seven men, nearly all of them mem- bers of the Hunkipapa band, to which Sitting Bull belonged, with instructions to the old Sioux chief to surrender. "By some misunderstanding, the military support, which was to have been within reach when the civil au thorities, represented by the Indian police, made the arrest of Sitting Bull, had not come up when, at daylight in the morning, Bull Head, Hawk Man and other members of the detail aroused the old chief and told him he was under arrest. He was sleeping in one of the two log houses standing! close together on the banks of the Grand river, and in other houses scat tered about were other members of his immediate following. "When told that he must go to the agency, he appeared tractable enough, and having put on some clothing went as far as the door, when he asked that his horse, which had been pre sented to him by Buffalo Bill when Sitting Bull was a -show Indian, be sent to him. While waiting for the! per cent of the mu9ce of the perform horso his son and a number of other! arlcei and gets 20 cent of the ap excited savages gathered about and, plause. The guy who jumps on another taunted Sitting Bull, accusing him of,gets tne harm in a vaudeville act, as surrendering to policemen in blue well as in business, politics or anything coats. This enraged the old chief. He threw up his arms as though to re sist, and one of his followers promptly shot Bull Head through the body. Bull Head, who always hated Sitting Bull, raised his gun before he fell and shot Sitting Bull twice. A melee ensued, in w" ich several Indians were killed. An hour or so later the military ar rived and Sitting Bull's body and those of the other dead Indians were taken to the agency in a wagon." Mr. Hennessey, who was formerly a newspaper man, arrived at Standing Rock the day after Sitting Bull was killed. Washington Post. JOURNAL ENTRIES Homely girls should remember that money's popularity is not due to its looks, It takes the hardest kind of work to collect the living that the world owes you. A peaceful life can only be pur chased at a cost of considerable self respect. The success of divorces, from a woman's standpoint, is measured by the size of the alimony awarded. 4f Many an individual who gets into the social swim acts a good deal like a fish on dry land. The Formoso New Era begs to In quire why it is that barbers do not advertise: "Satisfaction, guaranteed or your whiskers back." Some fellows, says the Western Kan sas World, can aiways dig up a job of grinding when they meet a sucker who is willing to take hold of the wheel and turn it. According to a high school note in the Howard Courant, one of the senior girls in the physics class tried to get steam out of a tin can without having any water in the can. The man who gets mad at what the newspaper rays aoout him should re turn thanks three times a day, say 3 the Decatur County News, for what the newspaper knew about him and sup pressed. Here's another story told by the Pot ter Kansan: A Potter woman was in Atchison recently and saw some fancy looking grapes at a fruitstand. She in quired the price and the dealer toid her $1.50 a pound. "Give me a nickel's worth, said the woman, where upon the dealer squeezed the pulp out of one of them and handed her the skin. She has been wondering ever since if that is what they call a "skin-game." A prominent Beloit business man Is receiving considerable joking today as a result of an answer given to a ques tion asked by his little son's teacher in the Beloit city schools yesterday. The teacher was asking each of her juvenile pupils the nationality of their parents, and the answers were coming in, Irish German. Scotch. Scotch Ger man, etc., when it came little Johnnie's turn. He was radiant, and readily an swered: "Mamma is a Christian," then with a puzzled look, "but I don't know what papa is." Beloit Gazette. Evidently Editor Pearce. of the Has kell County Republican, hasn't a very high opinion of a contemporary whom he refers to as "Blondy." In paying his respects to "Blondy," Editoi Poarce writes: "When the Creator finished making the African, Indian and all varieties of peoples, snakes, monk eys in fact, everything that was made, he had a mixture left that he did riot know what to do with so he threw the whole thing together and made Blondy. The mixture is so complicated that no adjective in the English language could describe it and do it justice." The manager of an asbestos mill con ceived a novel idea for New Year's an nouncements. He had them printed on thin asbestos and enclosed them in en velopes of the same material. As he was uncertain of the correct addresses of some of the stockholders, he order ed his stenographer to write on each envelopo. "Please forward." The idea was clever, but one may appreciate the the feelings of the widow of one stock holder when she received an asbestos envelope auuressed to her late husband, with the inscription, "Please forward." beneath the address.

A preache.- who died in Bloomington, 111., "this week, held the record of his neighborhood as a trouble-maker. Dur ing his long life he performed 1,642 marriage ceremonies. Whether or not one may put over a tardy apology may be reckoned by the length of the notes of forgiveness. And one may note that, although the letters from Woodrow Wilson to Co!.

Maybe the reason poets make a prac tice of mailing their contributions in stead of delivering them in person, may be found in the recent inventions which enable an editor to purchase a pistol that will shoot two miles. "I have one thing to be proud of," says Hondo Murphy, "and that is that I aiways ate soup as it should be eaten, even before I mingled with the elect and found out that it was the right way. An injury to my shoulder during early youth, makes it inconvenient to shovel it into my face with a front entrance movement, so I nibble it from the side of the spoon. I don't break crackers in the soup because I despise; above any other edible, a drowned cracker." The ground hog is due to come up tomorrow, and, no other excuse at hand, the dealers will probably introduce the fact as an apology for raising the price of sausage. SAYS UNCLE GAV If you tread the path of sainthood because saints have gone before, you are quite likelv to walk the broad way unto destruction because others have gone to the devil. The led horse knoweth not whither it goeth, nor W There is no manhood and little vir tue in doing a good thing because others do it: Moral excellence lies within you not in the character of your leaders. No man was ever good by imitation. No man ever followed the procession to a state of righteous- You can't be good without convic tions and vou can't have convictions without thinking for yourself. There is no moral stamina in a weather vane. It is as easily turned north as east and he who affects virtue because his neighbors do is quite as easily led into vice. That virtue which makes for strong character is not the virtue of rules and habits. It is rather a virtue ui con science. Without principle there is no moral excellence. Better do a bad deed from a conscientious motive than a good one without motive. Imitators in morals are ships with out rudders. Which way they will drift depends entirely upon the strength of the waves and winds that strike them. The rudderless man Is at once the most pitiable and most despi cable object in creation. Today he grasps your hand because your neigh bor greets you warmly; tomorrow he blackens your name because an enemy has spoken evil concerning you. Don't drift. Stick to some standard of conduct, good or bad. Even if your standard is bad sooner or later you'll develop enough character to save something out of the moral wreck. The important thing is that you should act from conviction rather than along the line of least resistance. If vou be a person of convictions, shun the drifted as you would shun pestilence. He clouds with the sky and shines with the sun. For your pros perity he has an open purse but for your need the curse of dives upon Lazarus.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.. E. rFrom the Chicago News. And some men are sober only when money is tight. Anyway, the fool is apt to be generous with his folly. Jealousy is but another name for in grown self-esteem. Conservatism and rheumatism cause a man to make haste slowly. Probably a rose by any other name would have just as many slugs. Any man can darn socks, but it takes a clever woman to mend them. The woman who has occasion to forgive her husband never allows him to for get it. When a man is in love with a widow it's a sign she knew it long before he made the discovery. And there are people who never arrive at a conclusion until the undertaker is ready to take their measure. DAFFYDILS BY U. NOALU If a man is crooked can he see straight?

WHY DIDST WE THINK OF THAT? When we see a cheap contrivance. Like a trap for mouse or rat. Which brings to the shrewd inventor A fortune big and fat.

THE EVENING STORY Vagabond Jane. (By Dorothy Douglas.) Jane was poor as to purse; her bounty lay in a richness of spirit, an all abiding love for her fellow men. When she drew near the teenment that was her home, her heart con tracted painfully. A child, not more than ten, was huddled against the chilling pillar of the doorway, seek ing shelter from the biting November wind. The child had taken off her own rag of a coat and it lay cuddled over a still smaller form in her arms. The eyes of a hunted animal gleam ed forth from the small, pinched face when Jane stopped in front of her. "What is it, child? No, don't be afraid" for the child had made an involuntary movement as if to flee "give me the baby and come with me; you are cold through and through." "I dasn't go home till I get two dol lars," the child said mechanically, as she followed Jane into the tenement building and up the stone stairs. Through her apathy, brought on by numbness and hunger, the child re sponded to Jane sympathy. "I'd get beat if I went home without them two dollars, and I ain't got nothin' but coppers twenty-four of them." "Poor little dear," said Jane, and pondered the situation while she put the infant to sleep oh her own couch. She could not afford to make up the difference in money to tne cniia her own resources were limited, yet the monev must be found, and that before dusk set in. She went about preparing food for the children. Her knowledge as to correct feeding of an infant in arms was more or less vague. "Children of the poor can eat any thing and thrive." thought Jane, and a grim little smile played about her lips. The milk sne warmea seemea perfectly satisfactory, and when the infant was again asleep Jane spoke to the olaer child. "I am going out to find some more pennies for you. You must stay here until I retvrn." Jane's order was not repeated the girl was only grateful to have a shelter from the cold. Out in the street Jane's brow puck ered. How could she get the necessary money? A street singer's voice caught her at tention. There was an idea! Pennies were be'ng showered down upon the girl from the high windows, and Jane believed her own small voice equal in monetary value to that of the street singer. She walked several blocks in order to gain courage to lift up her voice in song. The neighborhood in which she found herself was rich: Jane knew that from the wonderful lace curtains in those hundreds of windows. She found her way timidly to the back court and there she began her strange mission. An. unusual emotion took hold of Jane when little bundles of pennies, or nickels or dimes, dropped down from surreptitiously opened windows. Before long Jane ha.d enough and to spare for the small children waiting for her re turn. Dusk was coming on slowly, but Jane made her way to one more building. She had read the word "studios" be tween the massive portals and her reason told her that there was a domi cile of great souls. The unusual strain had begun to tell in Jane's voice, and she was not a lit tle weary when a man came to the doorway and stood deliberately watch ing her. Jane's tones trembled and the hot color crept into her cheeks. When her song was finished she j turned to go. The man's voice stopped her; it was a gentle voice and full of persuasion. I will give you 25 if you will pose tor me tor an hour." the man said. The money consideration did not startle Jane, but the strangness of her experience brought the slow, whimsi cal smile to her eyes. While she was still studying the man's face he spoke again. "You will be doing me a great favor i must nave a model tonight. I have never posed but I believe I could sit still for an hour." Jane sighed and rather enjoyed the prospect or sitting quietly. She was more tired than she had realized. You will have a rest every fifteen minutes." the artist told her and mar veled at the refined, sweet charm of the street singer. He led the way to tne elevator and Jane followed. Her eyes gleamed at the soft luxury of Dana Villar's studio. She sank down upon a wide couch. "Villar stopped to admire the odd color scheme she presented. "You would make far more money as a model than you do as a street singer," he told her as he put a rough sketch on his easel. "I a mnot a street singer," Jane re marked casually. "What are you by profession?" Villar swung his model's platform into the fast fading light and placed a chair on it. Jane smiled slowly. "I'm just a vagabond." she said, and Villar turned in time to catch the unconscious pathos in Jane's eyes. He drew a quick breath; the girl was beautiful. "If you will come to the model stand now, please When he took Jane by the hand to assist her to the high stand a dull color swept the girl's face. While he draped a soft brown velvet over her shoulders an un dreamed of sensation kept her eyes from looking at him. Villar's eyes never left the perfect oval of her face: it was framed in rich masses of red-gold hair and the deli cate flush strayed up until it met the shadows beneath her soft gray eyes. "You are far too beautiful to be a! vagabond." Villar found it diffi cult to use the word in connection with his model. Jane's easy flow of speech came back to her when Villar had returned to his easel and she told him of the little children and their urgent need of money. The artist's hand stopped often during her story and It seemed to him that the entire warmth and glow of the setting sun had centered upon Jane. The radiance of a great soul had entered his studio and Villar wel comed its coming. He paused and looked at the girl who had brought these things into his life. His hand was still so long that Jane wondered THE HUMAN QUESTION MARK, at it. You- perhaps haven't seen any man "Am I not holding the pose?" she walking around that looked like a qucs- questioned tion murk to you but there is that very Villar did not startle her with the n "m,r midst every day I'onot universe in her hands.

A sentence uttered by a woman who has made a great success as an Interior """""f "as impressed me much. 1 was: -We not only try to furnish wit uul we try to fit the room to the person who is to occupy it, and make it a characteristic and desirable setting for me personality of the owner." now many rooms one enters, in which It is evident that no such effort to emho.lv the individuality of the occupant In the iurnisnmgs of the room, has been mad Millie arter touches, such as the pres y,.

Mission was in style when thi iiirmsnea, ana so the roon consists of so many set nieces of mission Circassian walnut was all the rage when ...n CTupie married, arhl therefore theii slender purse had to be stretched tn rur chase a few inferior and inartistic pieces inc cloning wood. The woman who blindly follows th aieiar.es or tashion in gowning herself, irn a complete indifference as to wheth er me particular style is becoming or not ijuiie generally censured. I believ that the woman who furnishes her horn for it usually Is the woman who has th most rime, uie most Interest, and hence the deciding voice in this matter with like devotion to fashion and indifference to individuality, is equally at fault. X here are becoming rooms as well as necomrng gowns. A successful livln room Is an appropriate setting for th people who inhabit it. I refer especiall to the living room, because that is th center of the home the room in whic the largest proportion of its inhabitant waking time is apt to be spent, and the room where there is most opportunity fo individuality. The furnishings of a din ing room, a bedroom, a kitchen, must be to a certain extent conventional, i must contain certain stated articles of furniture, but there are absolutely no particular appointments which have to appear in a living room. Now, very few of us can afford to ploy interior deeorators, but we can al employ taste and Individuality In fur nishing our homes. -We can choose the color or colors which are to prevail in our rooms with reference to ourselves Lveryone, I believe, has a color whl peculiarly belongs to Mm. Again, we can choose the style of fur nishings Just as carefully. Don't sub scribe to mission, just because mission is the rage. Mission is just as unbecoming 10 certain people as tailored shirtwaists and stiff collars. Don't get mahogany just because mahogany is expensive. The exquisite graining and coloring of golden oak might be thought more beautifu than mahogany, If it had chanced to be more costly. Don't buy an oblong table and a davenport, just because these are the style, if In your heart you really like a round table and a couch better. Re member, that styles will come and Rtvle will go during the years you will probably live wirn tnat iurmture. Don't stock up with old fashioned fu niture. Just because vou know that Is considered artistic. There are people whom old fashioned furniture naturally belongs, and people to whom It does not. just as there are girls who look charm ing in quaint flowered muslins and fichus and other old time styles, and other girls on whom such styles look In congruous and Irrelevant. Don't try to get everything at once and lower your standard of quality in ordi to encompass quantity. Have the essen tials Just as you want them, and be will Ing to wait for the fill-Ins. Far better that your home should be a bit bare at first, than that it should be well stocke' with cheap and meaningless furniture. Don't try to furnish a bwmo in a week, or a year. Home building T don't mean house building should be the dream and labor of a lifetime. T wish our girls might ber taught the technique of home furnishing in the public schools, and from then on might each plan and dream about her home until the time to make the dream a reality should come. Some of the homes, of course, would never materialize. But think of the bene fit accruing to those which really did come true. And surely no beautiful dearming can ever be a loss even if the reality never follows the dream. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.! Tn politics it's the stump that counts, not the family tree. You generally know where to find your best friend by looking in the mirror. An ounce of silence is sometimes more eloquent than a pound of sermons. Financiers are men who take advantage of the parting of a fool and his money. A man acquires a certain amount of wisdom by merely realizing his own fool ishness. Can you blame a widow for marrying again when she realizes that black Is un becoming to her? Whv not pave the streets with paper? That might facilitate having them torn up so frequently. Perhaps the reason we don't think bet ter of some people is because they al ready think so well of themselves. Miss Gushington "l-iove is like a kit ten. Tt is born blind."

Tt is not long since there were recurrent attempts to excite the readers of sensa tional newspapers, and some more solid publications, over what was said to be th danger of German designs upon Southern Brazil. It was asserted that the Monroe Doctrine might have to be supported hr arms against the creation of a German state in that part of South America. This bugaboo has been made absurd bv recent statistics of Urazilfan immigration and of the various foreign elements in Brazil. Not Germany, but Portugal, Spain, even Russia and Turkey, are th chief sources of present immtKration. The Ooiian element In every part of Brazil is extremely small and it is grow ing less instead of greater. In fact, there is little emigration from Germany to any country. The German labor market is so strong that plenty of work is found at home and (Jornian pros perity is so great and so general that Germans are not driven to seek oppor tunities beyond the seas. Of all th scares' that has been attempted In this country German aecression in Brazil is about the most foolish and the last worthy of further a t ten tion.

Burns and Attorney Hanecy, Senator Lorimer's counsel, was renewed today when Burns continued under cross examina- tion before the senate committee in- vestigating Senator Lorimer's election. Burns had attacksd the credibility of Charles McGowan, a witness for Lcr- lmer, who had testified relative to al alleged conversations about the $100, 000 "jackpot fund to put Lorimer over." Hanecy and Burns got into a wran gle as soon as the examination began. This man has been Insulting me, began Burns, but Chairman Dilling ham requested him not to interfere in discussions between counsel. "You all stop him or I will stop him," retorted Burns. "I'll do just as I please." the chair man answered. "Can't the witness protect himself?'" flared Senator Kenyon, as he turned toward the chairman. "This man has been bully-ragging everybody who has been on the witness stand," -insisted Burns. Threatens to Tell. "I don't propose to be insulted. If he keeps on I'll tell something about his reputation." "Oh, I guess my reputation is all right," interposed Attorney Hanecy. The committee decided the attorneys must cease using language which could be regarded as insulting. Hanecy wanted to know if Burns had given the information on which an Associat ed Press dispatch on January 21. 1912, announcing his work on the case had been based. Burns said he had not. Senator Jones took exceptions to a statement in the dispatch that Burns had reported to the committee and that his services had been dispensed with only to be continued by the Chi cago Tribune. "I never heard about it," declared Senator Jones, "and as I understand it, counsel for the committee were never told by the Burns people that they had evidence aginst McGowan and then services were discontinued. Isn't that so? "No, we knew about it," replied Healy. "Then I am sorry to hear it," re turned Senator Jones. "By the way, Mr. Burns, you have boasted publicly since you have been in Washington that you lie to newspa per men and others," suggested At torney Hanecy. "We call it finessing or using sub terfuge," was the response. "The ordinary man would call it lyinfi." "You do it yourself," retorted Burns.

Developments in the proposed congressional inquiries into the "money trust," the shipping combine and other interests have sur rounded the future of those investi gations with uncertainty.

Mr. Henry who has not conferred with Democratic Leader Underwood for three weeks announced that he would insist on an investigation. He said he would not accept the chairmanship of the committee. Some of the Demo crats who are opposed to the "money trust" investigation -have charged that the persistent movement for its prose cution is instigated by Wm. J. Bryan. Mr. Henry promised that the in quiry would not be postponed until after the election. In communicating with Mr. Samuel Untermeyer, Mr. Henry's statement reads, "He informs me as follows: I happen to know something of the desperate efforts that are being made from New York through the local banks In every sec tion of the country to defeat this in vestigation or to send It to the com mittee on banking and currency. You have a big fight on your hands, but the game is well worth the candle. No more important or public spirited fight was ever made." TRIBUTE TO DEAD. Commercial Club Adopts Tribute to Major Anderson. The regret of the Commercial club was expressed this noon at a special meeting of the club ovr the loss of the former secretary of the club. Major T. J. Anderson. The appreciation of the club of the life and services of Major Anderson ware expressed in a memorial prepared by James A. Trout man. The tribute follows: "The Topeka Commercial club, at its first opportunity, expresses Its profound sorrow, at the death of its former sec retary, Major Thomas J. Anderson. From boyhood he has been a conspicu ous figure in the military and civil his tory of this state. For more than half a century, the material, moral and in tellectual development of Kansas has been accelerated tjy the commanding influence of his personality and power. The avenues of his activities and use fulness are too numerous to be given in detail. He was brave in war, wise in legislative halls, resourceful in the mayor's chair, efficient in this club, un swerving in patriotism, and constant in friendship. He leaves to this state, this city, this club, and his family, the legacy of an honorable and useful life. He had faults enough to make him hu man, and virtues enough to give him an abiding place in the hearts and af fections of all true men. "It would not be extravagant praise. to apply to Major Anderson the words of Mark Anthony, as he stood in mournful adoration over the lifeless body of his friend Brutus, 'This was the noblest Roman of them all." His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him. that nature mlsrhf stand up and say to all the world, 'This was a man. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Thfi fnn-nl r. r tlm T-1 r v,. xiiuiuaa j.

I used everything I thought might cure them, and used to spend over a dollar a week for stuff which would not cure. I had them for nearly a year, when one day I saw the Cutlcura advertisement and wrote fo amples. I used, them and bought more. I took a bath with Cuticura Soap every day, and after taking a bath I would use Cuticura Ointment. The Ointment dried the sores up, and I am cured now and glad of it. I am fine and dandy once more."

Then they tilled with water and itched something awful. She had it on her neck, bead, body and her face. She scratched them until they became sore and filled with corruption, and she got no sleep. We first noticed it when she was about two months old, and she had it until she was bIx months old. Nothing seemed to help but only made it worse. We used Cuticura Soap to bathe her all over, and then put the Cuticura Ointment on and in one month she was entirely rid of it. She has no mark from it at all."

Washington, Feb. 1. Former Con gressman Jeiry D. Botkin of Winfield, Kan., in a signed article to appear this week in the R. F. D. News published in Washington, goes after the postof fice department in a rough-shod fash ion in declaring the people are filched of their money by poor and expensive management of this branch of the pub lic service. Here is his statement: "As a member of the Fifty-fifth con gress in a speech in the house in March, 1S08, I discussed the pending Loud bill, whose ojtentible purpo.se was to provide for a $15,000,000 deficit in the postoffice department by increasing the rates on certain publications. In pointing out a better way to make both ends meet 1 showed fro:.i the records that we were paying tc the railroad corporations the enormous rental of J5.500 per year for each postal car in use. In addition to this we wer-i paying $31,000,000 per year for hauling these cars in their regular trains. "I suggested that if we cut out all of the graft involved in the railroad charges and pay them a legitimate sum for their services we should prevent deficits and be able to deliver mail every rurai home in the United States. "This was 14 years ago. Some years later Mr. Murdock of Kansas made a successful fight on the mail weighing graft and saved the government the neat sum of $5,000,000 per year. Two years ago when the postmaster general and the president so persistently urged an increase of postage on magazines and other periodicals as a means "f reducing the then deficit of $17,500,000, Senator LaFollette put a temporary quietus on this effort to lay a tax penalty on intelligence by showing that we were then paying a postal car ren tal of $4,200 per year, and the colossal sum of $46,010,000 for hauling them. Why Are They Blind to Graft? "Why can not the authorities see this tremendous graft? Why are they so determined to continue this graft by putting an extra tax upon the read ing public, and by depressing the al ready meagre salaries of the men who brave dangers and endure hardships to make the mail service efficient? General Hitchcock says: 'As a first step in the adjustment t-f the second-class rate on the basis of cost, the sug-gestion of the department is that the rate be increas ed now to 2 cents a pound, etc' "Why do the authorities waste all their energies in devising ways for filching from the people the money to meet the &reat expense of the mail service? Why do they not investigate the cause of this great expense? The evident reascn is that such investiga tion honestly and thoroughly made would turn the searchlight upon the railroad graft, which appears to be the one thing the administration would sa credly guard. "The time is certainly ripe for a raid on the chief cause of postal deficit, to the end that the men who do the work may receive adequate salaries." Brirrtow's Bill in Senate. Senator J. L. Bristow has intro duced a bill in the senate directing the secretary of the treasury to reim burse R. W. Branson, formerly post master at Cherokee, Kan., in the sum of $250, for damages suffered by him on account of the destruction caused by the blowing open of the safe in which was deposited postal funds, stamps, etc. Congressman Taggart has a measure in the house directing the secretary of the treasury to pay Thomas W. Dare the sum of $25.25, which the latter ex pended out of his own pocket in be half of the government for lighting and heating the building occupied by the postoffice at Gardner, Johnson county, Kan., and for rent of the build ing during the months of January and February, 1907. Mr. Dare was post master at Gardner for many years. Congressman Rees has presented a bill to convert the regimental army post at Fort Riley into a brigade post, and to enlarge it so as to accommo date a brigade of troops. To carry out this improvement $500,000 Is asked to be appropriated. Vliy Kansas Is Ktch. Why Kansas is rich, is explained in an editorial published In Munsey's Washington Times. Following the declaration that Kansas has the largest per capita of any state in the Union, the editorial continues: "What lies behind this spectacle? Two simple things the people of Kan- The Quickest, Simplest Cough Cure Eaallr and Cheaply Made at Home. Save Yon This recipe makes a pint of cough syrup enough to last a family a long time. You couldn't buv as much or as good cough syrup for $2.50. Simple as it is, it gives almost instant relief and usually stops the most obsti nate cough in 24 hours. This is partly due to the fact that it is slightly laxa tive, stimulates the appetite and has an excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to take children like it. An excellent rem edy, too, for whooping cough, croup, sore lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with 2 pint of warm water, 'and stir for 2 -.ninutes. Put 2 ounces of Pinex (fifty cents worth) m a pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. Pine is one of the oldest and best known remedial agents for the throat membranes. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all the other natural healing elements. Other preparations will not work in this formula. The prompt results from this recipe ;ave endeared it to thousands of house vives in the United States and Canada, Thich explains why the plan has been imitated often, but never successfully. A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this i recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will I ;j- T T i. 1 TKo Pinex Co, ft. Wayne, lad. sas are mentally alert as well as in dustrious, and there is team work among her public officials. "Dr. S. J. Crumbine started the 'swat the fly' campaign a movement now nation wide. Though living a thousand miles from the seacoast, he, was the first health officer to work j out the oyster problem, establishing a rigid censorship and regulations that -prevent the shipment of the popular mollusk in unhealthy receptacles. He is one of the fathers of the individual drinking cup, now obligatory in nearly every state. "No less capable, and more widely known, is the secretary of the state board of agriculture, the rugged and versatile F. B. Coburn, who once turn ed down a United States senatorship because he preferred to stick to his job of helping farmers. It was he who in troduced Kafir corn into the state, and wrote the epic of the helpful hen, which you can read in a dozen lan guages. It was he who backed the al-; falfa as a wealth-breeder when all Kansas was discouraged about it, and was about to abandon what is now a rich crop. Good Government Pays. "And so, again, with the state com missioner of education, who is spread ing the gospel of rural betterment that is keeping the Kansas boy on the farm. Tor must it be forgotten that the chief of all these men is a real governor of all the people, who has put public ben efit far above party prejudice. "The big fact that stands out In this cheering panorama of Kansas pros perity is that good, clean, effective gov ernment really pays." The following presidential Kansas postmaster appointments have been confirmed by the senate: Bdgar B. Dyke Macksville; A. M. Robinson, La Crosse; Albert L. Utterback, Caney; James J. Yapp, Esbon; George L. Robinson, Paola. Dykes and Utterback were reappointed. Yapp succeeded Thomas J. Wright: A. W. Robinson succeeded Charles L. O'Neal, and Geo. L. Robinson succeeded Alpheus Lane at Paola. TINSMAN WITH MUDGE Former R. I. General Manager Will Be Given Special Work. Reports from Chicago Wednesday afternoon state that W. S. Tinsman, who has been general manager of the first district of the Rock Island, will, be made assistant to the president, j This in addition to the article printed in the last edition of the State Journal I which stated that Mr. Tinsman had I resigned. He has resigned as general j manager but has been given a new, position as assistant to President j Mvidge and placed on his official staff, i Rock Island officers In Topeka un-j derstood late today that Mr. Tinsman would be on the Mudge staff. The rumors that Tinsman would be out of service on the Rock Island have been quieted for the present. He will have a position similar to the position held at one time by A. E. Sweet, general manager of Topeka. Mr. Sweet was regular assistant to the the president while Tinsman is in charge of special work. It is not known at this time what position will be given to Mr. Tinsman in the official lineup. His special work undoubtedly will be in the operating department but reports do not state In what capacity. BADDEN-POWELL HERE The Founder of the Boy Scouts Lands in New York. New York, Feb. 1. Lt.

Colonel Henry Watterson, en route to his winter home in Florida, Issued the follow ing statement on Wednesday on the Wilson-Harvey-Watterson contro versy: i "Touching the Harvey-Wilson letters given out yesterday I have to say from first to last I have been acting not only with Col. Harvey's full knowledge and approval but upon his insistence; that from the beginning he was most im patient of delay, sending a personal rep resentative to Atlanta the 24th of De cember, and again the same representa tive to Richmond the 31st of December, urging me to take the initiative; that he was unqualified in endorsing my state ment of the Manhattan club incident, wiring forthwith to declare it 'perfect' and he was with me at the New Willard in Washington up to last Sunday night, sharing all I did and had done. "The refusal of Governor Wilson to submit an issue of veracity recommended by himself to a tribunal having due re gard for the rights of the parties, which I proposed, should and I think will be re garded by fair minded people as a con fession that he dare not face the tact. "As to those Democrats who have made a hero of, Wilson because of his break with Harvey, how shall they square them selves with the eternal verities, now that they learn that Wilson and Harvey are weeping upon one another's bosom?" HEW PLAN IS GOOD, United States Saves Money and Men Make More. Washington, Feb. 1. Scientific man agement at the Watertown arsenal has resulted in a substantial saving of money for the government and increas ed pay for employees, and everybody concerned is well satisfied with the working of the new system, according to a statement prepared by General Crozier, chief of the army ordnance bureau, for the congressional commit tee investigating this subject. The statement covers the operation of the arsenal during December and shows that whUe-there has been no reduction in force, great economy has been ef fected and a large share of the saving has gone to the workmen in the shape of Increased wages. The machinists came in for the largest profit, some of them increasing their pay as much as $30 per month, and the general aver age increase of the men in the machine shops being 26 per cent. Seventy-five per cent of the molders were put to work in December under the new sys tem with the result that their average pay increased 22 per cent, some of the men adding $20 per month to their pay envelopes. The cost to the government of mold ing elevating arms for the six inch disappearing gun carriage was reduced from $42.35 to $24.87 each, a reduction of 41 per ceut. yet the molders in this work Increased their wages from $3.25 to $5 per day, or 42 per cent. An ex treme case was in the making of plugs for thehydraulic cylinders of the gun carriages, the cost of which was re duced from 61 cents each to nine cents. At the same time the man on this Job increased his pay from $2.80 to $4.18 per day. or 49 per cent. goihgTitOxile. Russian Priest Leaves St. Petersburg on Foot for Distant Monastery. St. Petersburg, Feb. 1. The re actionary priest Heliodorus the Abbott Tsaritsyn. who has been exiled to a remote monastery in the government of Vladimir for championing the cause of the recalitrant bishop Hermogenes, began today a pilgrimage on foot from St. Petersburg to the monastery of the Trinity of Saint Sergius, at Soigievsky Posad, in the government of Moscow. He started off dressed in a warm cos sock and cowl and carrying his famous crook carved with a clinched fist. Hundreds of sympathizers, mostly women accompanied him through the city while the populace followed in throngs. The police however, pre vented the people from singing psalms and drove them off the principal avenues. Bishop Hermogenes who has been ordered exiled to the Zhirovitsky mon astery near Slonim for persistent in subordination officiated at the service "Using' Tiz Grandma?" "Yes, Harold. It Makes Grandma's Feet Feel Just Like Yours Free From Tiredness, Aches and Corns!" "Your papa and mamma, your grandpa and your grandma all use TIZ, Harold. And you'll use it, too, when you get to be a man. Then your feet will never hurt, or get tired. That's why we all use TIZ." Most of us get old, feet first. The bunions get stale, more wearisome and painful. Corns get harder and more stubborn as the feet become more tender. At a time -whan old people need their feet most, they can use them less unless they use TIZ. If you have never used TIZ before, your first use of it will bring back some of your girlhood days. TIZ will make your feet feel young, strong and vigorous. They'll never be tender, never chafe or ache, never get blister ed or swollen, and your corns, bun ions and callouses will be no more. Nothing will do it or can do it like TIZ. Don't experiment with other things; other people have done that for you and they are all now using TIZ.

Standard Representative Says Prices Will Be Higher. New York, Feb. 1. Prices of oil have been going up steadily since the dis solution of ths oil trust by the decree of the United States Supreme court and a representative of the Standard Oil com pany said today that they probably would go higher. Three times this year the Standard Oil company of New Jersey has ad vanced the price which it pays for crude oil, and there have been corres ponding increases in the wholesale and retail quotations for kerosene, gasoline and others of the refined products. Gasoline has risen 2 cents a gallon in New York markets. Automobile deal ers estimate the advance means an in crease of more than $200,000 a month in the cost of running the automobiles in New York state. Since the first of the year there has been an advance of 2 cents a gallon in the price established by the Standard Oil company for petroleum delivered by wagon to customers in this city. Not only in New York but elsewhere through the country have prices b-aen raised. The increased cost of cnducting the three companies Into which the oil trust was divided as compared with the expenses of the compact organization which -existed under the old regime has been advanced as a reason fcr the rise in prices. According to J. 1. C. Clark, the mouth piece of the Standard Oil company, this theory is not correct. Mr. Clarke said that the higher prices were due to economic conditions. The Pennsylvania fields, he said supply the best crude oil and as the output Of that product re cently has been insuffic it the prie of Pennsylvania oil has been advanced to stimulate production. Mr. Clarke said that the auo"itions would be raised until they reached a point which restored the production m the Pennsylvania field to the required basis. I'S WHINE. Abe Says He Was Made the Goat Threatens to Quit. San Francisco, Feb. 1. Abe Attell, the featherweight champion, arrived here today filled with grievances against the New York state boxing commission and with the declaration that he was ready to quit the fighting game. But before his retirement, he said, he would like to meet Knockout Brown and John ny Coulon in San Francisco in addition to his 20 round contest with Johnny Kilbane scheduled in Los Angeles for Washington's birthday. After 14 years In the ring, Attell said he thought he had earned a rest and hoped to settle down here in business. In regard to his disbarment for six months by the New York commission he said: "There had to be a goat, and I was the goat. The commission could not prove I had stalled, yet because it want ed to make an example, it picked me out and Eald I had made misstate ments about the doctor who cocainized my sore hand and gave me an over dose ten minutes before I entered the rii g to meet Knockout Brown." Attell will leave for Los Angeles af ter a short visit here. BRUSH TEETH CP AND DOWN. Proper Method Will Clean Them and Not Injure the Gums. Unless one is taught how to prop erly use the tooth brush, he is almost certain to ufe it the wrong way, be cause it is the easiest way. The usual method has been to brush cross wise of the t i and if the food does not readily come out, to brush the harder. This is the wrong way, for in so do ing you not only fall to do the work well, but also this movement tends to force the gum away from the necks of the teeth, thereby leaving the roots exposed. The gum which lies between the teeth hi.s a very valuable use in protecting the teeth, and in prevent ing decayed food frorr lying between them. It is safe to say that in mouths where the gum has been forced away by improper brushing, or otherwise, the teeth are .aucti more apt to decay. The proper method of brushing the teeth is with an u" and uown or a rotttry motion. In this movement, the bristles of the brush should strike the gum above the upper teeth, and in passing down dislodge the particles of food between the teeth. With the lower teeth reverse the motion; that is, the brush should first touch the gum be low the teeth and then be carried up. In other words, the stkc should al ways be made towards the cutting edge of the tooth, thus forcing the gums on the teeth. The friction of the brush on the gums is very beneficial to them, but cften this will cause bleeding. In such cases if cold water is applied with the brush until the bleeding stops, and if this be done every day, the gums wi.i begin to harden, and the trouble will ease. If there should be any gum dis ease, or any deposits under the gum, such as tartar, it will be best to have the gums treated and the foreign mat ter removed. Parents should be careful to teach the child the use of the tooth brush at a very early age. and the habit once formed at that period is bound to be continued. When it is known that decay will never attack a perfectly clean tooth, we realize the importance of the tooth brush. We cannot hop3, tven with the brush, to have perfect cleanliness, but we know that good thorough brushing is a wonderful help. If the teeth are" brushed after each meal and just before going to bed it usually will be sufficient. The most im portant time is at bed time, for then the fluids of the mouth are not flow ing, and the food that lies between the teeth invites decay. The time when teeth decay the worst Is in childhood, and If parents omy knew the responsibility that was theirs to ree that the teeth of their children were kept citan, there would be fewer people going through the world with disfigured mouths and artificial substi tutes. Not only this but much of ihe ill health of the world, caused by the lack of proper chewing of food, would be eliminated. (Copyright, Western Newspaper Union- FOLK WON'T PLAY He Refuses to Participate In St. Louis Democratic Primaries. St. Louis, Feb. 1. Former Gover nor Joseph W. Folk refused finally to participate in the Democrat primary in St. Louis because he held that vir tually every member of the Democrat city committee under whose auspices the contest is to be held, was a mem ber of the Champ Clark delegation from his ward. In a letter to H. W. Fay. chairman of the committee, Leon Sanders, campaign maanger for Folk, declared a primary held under such conditions would be a political farce. The primary will be held February 12 to select 216 delegates to the Demo crat state convention to be held in Joplin February 20. The Joplin con vention will determine wnether Folk or Clark shall have the Missouri en I dorsement for president. The Clark delegates were filed in all wards of the city. Political leaders are of the opin ion that Governor Folk will contest the Clark St. Louis delegation in the state convention. ALFALFA PANCAKES Head of Beef Trust Says They Taste Proty Good. Chicago, Feb. 1. Edward Tilden. president of the National Banking company, surprised his fellow defend ants in the United States district court today by declaring that he had eaten a breakfast of alfalfa. "It tasted pret ty good, too," said the beef magnate. "It was served in the form of pan cakes green pancakes at that for the alfalfa flour keeps some of the flower of the plant. "There is a great future for alfalfa," he said. "I predict that in five years alfalfa flour will be so improved that it will be in common use. Four crops a year should make Its price reasoT able and the entire plant can be con verted into flour. There Is absolutely no waste. "It is a coming food and may be come a substitute for whaet. When it gets to that point wheat will sell for 50 cents a bushel." TO CHECK CONTESTS National Committeemen Will Attend Delegate Convention. Chicago, Feb 1. In the hope of relieving the contest commitee of the Republican national committe of a large amount of work several repre sentatives of the organization will be sent into the south this year to attend conventions held for the purpose of the selection of delegations, then should contests arise the convention would have first hand information re garding the merits of the claim of each side. The idea is that of William Hayward, secretary of the committee. Heretofore representatives of the contesting delegation have appeared personally before the contest commit te and presented their cases. Some times it has required several weeks to dispose of all the contests. Not all, but the greater number of the cases have arisen in the south. Postoffice Robber Caught.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FEBRUARY 1912 PICKINGTHE MEN Those Who 3Iay Go as Repub lican Delegates. Raines of Those Suggested in Various Districts. FRANK RYAN NOT WORRIED Believes Huffman's Entry for Governor Will Help. Got. Stubbs and His Visit to Washington. H. Lamb of of of The men most talked of by the Kan sas Day club members for the big four presidential delegates from Kansas were: C. E. Denton, former secretary of state; W. J. Bailey, former gover nor; E. W. Hoch, former governor, and State Chairman J. Dolley. The candidates for delegates from the various congressional districts who had supporters here present were: First district A. E. Crane of Hel ton, John D. Weltmer of Hiawatha. Second district Senator J. A. Milli gan of Garnett and J. K. Cubbison of Kansas City. Third district John Gllmore of Fredonia, geth Wells of Erie and Chas. "Welch of Coffeyville. Fourth district O Yates Center. Fifth district Charles Case of Abi lene, Senator J. B. Lower. Sixth district Dr. J. B. Dykes of Le banon, Ike Purcell of Wakeeney. Seventh district V. T. Morgan of Hutchinson, C. E. Lobdell of Great Bend, Ralph Faxon of Garden' City, Senator Frank Price of Ashland. Eighth district J. W. Graybill Xsewton, Judge Thomas Wilson Newton. All the candidates for delegate who were dlscusseed at all are regulars ex cept J. N. Dolley. Frank Ryan, Republican candidate for governor, is not worried over the announcement of Senator Huffman of Cherokee for the place. Frank will not withdraw nor consider such a proposition. He is in the race to stay and will stay until the votes are counted in August. He has his own friends in every county to help him and will see the fight through. Refer ring to the Huffman candidacy, Ryan said: "I welcome him in: the water is fine. The dark horse is more apt to win with three in the race than with two." The Kansas Republican committee may set the date of the Kansas con vention after that of the Ohio and New York conventions. Then Kansas can have the benefit of the choice of the people of the home states of Roosevelt and Taft on the presiden tial proposition. J. W. Foley, of Rice county, is not a candidate for delegate at large to the Democratic national convention, as reported, but is a candidate from the Seventh district for the place. There is a distinetior here with a difference. Foley is a Wilson man. j J. W. Russell, 2101 Kansas avenue, Topeka. took a poll of workingmen on the street here the other day on their choice for president and governor ana found that out of 20 men approached all were for Champ Clark but three. For governor, 16 voted for Billard. Charlie Finch's Lawrence Gazette de clares that State Senator J. L. Brady of Lawrence will again enter the race for the Republican nomination for con gress from the Second district. The Ga zette gives Brady a fine boost. Telegraph advices from Washington have it that Govenor Stubbs was enter tained by Senator Bristow and Con gressman Fred Jackson while in tho capital. That is fine. But what about Senator Curtis and Congressmen An thony and Campbell? What were they doing to show consideration for a visitor from the old home state, a constituent, one might say. And Rees and Young? both insurgents, or were, at one time. And Victor Murdock? It has always been claimed by the, Kansas delegation at Washington that no Kansan has been coldly received on the banks of the Potomac.I t has been their proud boast that every township committeeman and one-horse editor has ibeen taken by the hand and led through marble corridors and past palms to the seats of the mighty and introduced to all the great ones. Time and lime again a little Wash ington date line has appeared to tell nbout how Anthony and Campbell and Curtis had entertained some Kansan unknown before to fame. Now conies a. citizen of Lawrence, a man with red hair, residing temporarily at Topeka. and he stays In Washington two days and none to do him reverence except Senator Bristow and Congressman Jackson, two new members of the old delegation. Mr. Stubbs was doubtless hurt over this neglect. He will feel the slight for months to come. His skin is thin. To come to a cold reception after so long a Journey was hard to bear. The old adage that hospitality outweighs faction and every bitter drop of the beart has been destroyed. What was Senator Curt's thinking about? What a chance he missed when he left Stubbs to ivander alone on the streets of the big city. Curtis has been in Washington for many years. Other statesmen have wasted their time and talents in fads that had to do with art or books or dogs or pipes or stamps, but Curtis lias spent 20 years in bring ing en affable and entertaining presence to a state of perfect cultivation. Then with Mr. Stubbs there to receive and appreciate it all the Indian chief staid in his wigwam and wasted his oppor tunity. Maybe Stubbs will make another trip to Washington. Maybe. And the next time the Indian senator may be glad to ee him and show him around and tell him where to find a house and a seat and a shoeshining stand. Maybe. David Leahy reports that Governor Stubbs. who is now in the east, ha;; had manv invitations to speak in tho eastern cities. He is wanted ior i speech in Washington, isaitinioie, ru.. adelphia and Flint, Mich. If he ac cepts these invitations he will not be home umil the last of next week. Senator W. M. Glenn, of Scott coun tv7 who is a regular, reports that xns an,i section of the state is for Roosevelt for president, It a Primary i held the senator predicts that Tedd would carry the Sixth district without a struggle. -The senator came to at fend the Kansas Day club banquet and staid over for the State Bar association sessions.

A bull being driven with a herd through York road to tne cattle market today became frightened, ran into a flat building, up the stair way to the fifth floor and on to the roof where after frightening everybody who tried to capture mm, ne jumpeu m four adjoining roofs and was brought to death by a rifle shot only after thre-2 i,ra nf nlnttinsr. The incident was one which would have brought delight tn the American cowboy or those in terested in the handling of stock but it caused a bad three hours for a number r-f TnE-llshmen. The animal's dash up the stairs to the roof caused a large crowd to collect. Seventeen policemen and drovers who were bold -enousrh to follow tried to lasso the bull but failed to accomplish a job which could have been performed bv the American cowboy in the twink ling of an eye. The bull pulled the ropes away from his would be captors or broka them as last as tney could get them over his horns. Then there was a consultation while the bull stood defi antly in one corner of the roof watch ing developments with fire fiashin from his eyes. Finally one man procured a rabbit gun and taking refuge behind a chim ney began firing at the enraged bull. The bull did not care. He only became more enraged. Just as the last of the 11 shots was fired the bull charged over a fiva foot wall separating the flat building from the roof of the adjoining structure. Here he met a congregation of newspaper men. photographers and spectators who had come up to see the fun. There was a grand scramble for safety, each chimney being used as a protector by a photographer or reporter who were decidedlv uneasy over the situation some distanea from the ground. The bull did riot remain long on this roof but jumped to another adjoining so ou until he had reached the top of tne tilth building from where he start ed. Brought to bay by walls which could not well be surmounted the ani mal held the fort for nearly three hours. The police had by this time managed to secure a rifle with which a marksman manasred to dispatch the bull by two well directed shots from an adjoining building. The disposition of the carcass now confronted those interested in the case. The head was cut off and thrown to the street below and then apparently not realizing ths great weight of the ani mal the body was pushed, shoved and rolled over the edge of the building by about forty men. It fell with such force that it crushed three paving stones and sent particles flying in avery direction. The streets in the vicinity were blocked for a quarter of a mile. The London police carry no revolvers. Had such an incident occurred in any American city the bull would have been dispatched in five minutes. LIGHTSlFTpROWN. Independent System to Re Installed in Pinehurst. After the first of March it will be possible for those driving on the West Sixth avenue road adjacent to Pine hurst to read a newspaper as thev go along. At least this is the statement of N. B. Burge, and there is no rea son to doubt it as the new Pinehurst white way or lighting system has al ready been tried. The system consists of thirteen 2.000 candle power gas arc lights in stalled by the Pitman Light Co. of Chicago. Of this number rive are on West Sixth avenue, three on Washburn avenue and three on West Eighth ave nue, and two in the center of the tract. This is the first lighting system to be installed in any suburban residen tial district of Topeka. The lights are suspended from concrete pedestals. Miss Hauia Vyeno, Hie Only Girl in tbe Vycno Troupe. '"I started 15 years ago to do thU work as a profession," he said. Then he told how he made it a custom to play with his children when they were mere inrants teaching" them to do tumo ling and other tricks, so that when they were very small, indeed, they were capable of furnishing entertain ment for those who sought amusement at the theaters. The work is just play ior them. Five years ag.o he stated the troupe played in Topeka when Hatsu and Shiojiro, the little fellows now aged 11 and 12 years respectively, were al lowed to perform to the delight of the auaiences without the interference of state authorities. As previously stated the two youngsters since Monday have been barred from doing their stunts by State Labor Commissioner Doyle on ac count of the child labor law. "We like to work altogether," said Shionoshuke Uyeno today. The little boys are getting tired of playing all the time. "Can't we work tomorrow?" they keep asking. One of the difficult feats done by the head of the troupe is to balance a 2a foot pole cn his shoulder while Shin ichi. a IS year old son, climbs the pole eventually, stretching himself out hori zontally at a dizzy height with the end of the pole resting on his stomach. Chlyokichi is the strong men who can juggle almost anything with his feet. In the act he is now lifting and juggling a large tub which with a hu man occupant represents a weight o 245 pounds. Ishikawa is one of the best jugglers and balancers yet seen in Topeka. It took him eight years of hard training to master his art, but the manner in which he balances articles on his chin and the rapidity with which he can juggle makes a hit with the people. Elko s particular trick is to juggle one of the small bops but that part of the act has been cut out at the Audi torium. Miss Hama is a contortionist of no mean ability. She is 16 years of age. Prof. D. H. Seymour will continue his popular pipe organ concerts on Fri day and Saturday nights. LYMAN HOWE AGAIN.

And from an artistic standpoint, the natur ally tinted scenes in southern France, forming poems in blendings of color, were probably the best of their kind seen in Topeka. And many Topeka people who have been abroad were delighted at the mountain trolley ride in Switzerland which combined scenic grandeur and thrilling danger. FAMOUS SCHOOL BURNS SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS. February 11 there will be a big Lincoln meeting at the Auditorium. It will be wise to get out all the "great" coats. A cold wave is brewing.

The women have had a difficult time to open tna hca'y doors at tne commerce building. Some children who r.ave at tempted to enter the building have found It impossible to do so without assistance, and tlie same may be said of a few of the less muscular women. There was an increased demand for wood at the Provident association wood yard today, due to the chilliness of the atmosphere and the prospect of a cold wave tonight. This was rummage day at the Topeka Provident association. There was a big crowd present for the sale. The poor people were providing themselves with warm clothing for protection in the com ing cold wave. There were two or three church meet- ines at the Commercial club this noon. The Commercial club is becoming more and more the headquarters for church organizations at least as far as a place for holding their business meetings is concerned.

"I had a very pleasant forenoon at Lincoln." writes Secretary J. Will Kelley of the Commercial club from Sioux City. Iowa, "but I assure you that they do not possess any advantages over the Topeka Commercial club as I view it at any rate." Secretary Kelley went on to say that he expected to reach Davenport, la., yesterday and that he intended to go to Dubuque, la., Wednesday night. He will be in Chicago If his plans work out, P'rl day. The recent membership campaign of the Commercial club brought into the organ ization a younger element than had been known in the club previously. Young men who had never seen the inside of the Commercial club rooms joined to as sist In the building up of the city. It is expected that the young men will be able to do much effective work. In fact the "Fighting Twenty" team in the member ship campaign was composed almost en tirely of comparatively young men.

Smith and G. A. Smith, plasterers of Holton, were ar rested last night charged with dis orderly conduct. The men were in a drug store between Fifth and Sixth on Kansas' avenue when they saw two girls and started to follow them.

The Smiths continued their gum shoe stunt until Kerns enlisted the aid of Officers Walker, Summer and Rosander, who arrested them.

John Mull, aged 17, and Roy Parks, aged 16, were arrested by the police while carrying two tennis racquets, a knife and a number of other articles which are believed to have befen stol en. The boys live In Lawrence. The police at Lawrence don't know any thing about the matter. The boys were arrested by Officers Nash and England.

Bert Mills was arrested last night by Officers Otto Anderson and Summers on the charge of stealing a watch from J. O. Hubbard of 7 02 East Sev enth street. Mills, it is charged, stole the watch and sold it but he contends that Hubbard bought some whisky and got him drunk before. the watch was taken. Hubbard will swear to a complaint and a state warrant will be Issued for Mills sometime today. An effort will be made to send him to the reformatory at Hutchinson as the offi cers believe that he is one of the boys who has been snatching pocketbooks in Topeka for several weeks. Sergeant Dan Carden is real peeved because of leap year. Not so much that but because the month of February will have twenty-nine days and twenty-nine nights. He will be on night duty this month and contends that he will be required to work overtime on account of the twenty-ninth night.

Mr. Howe will present at the Grand this afternoon and tonight new won ders of the Grand River Canyon, Colo rado; an elaborate series entitled "Our Navy," showing the greatest fleet of battleships ever assembled un der the stars and stripes; the latest modes from Paris; the flight of a hydroplane through water and air; a pictorial tour revealing the shrines of art and history of Rome, Pisa and Florence: the marble quarries of Car rara; daring Italian horsemanship, and hunting by aeroplane are but a few of the many other scenes of vital in terest showing the very latest achieve ments of human endeavor. Klaw Erlanger's production of "The Round-Up" will be the attrac tion at the Grand for three nights, starting Monday. They will gie a popular matinee on Wednesday after noon. So much note has been made of the famous battle incident in "The Round-Up" and the no less realistic bucking bronchos and cowboy scene, giving the name of the play, that the impression may be conveyed that these incidents compose the drama. Far from it. They are only excep tionally picturesque and realistic situa tions in a comedy where every step of the plot holds attention closest captive. The atmosphere is thoroughly western, and the characters true to life In the same breezy locality. In sentimental and comedy fea tures, almost in an equal degree to its melodramatic details, "The Round Up" leaves nothing wanting. The company numbers 134 people and 20 horses.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FEBRUARY 1; 1912 10 SMITH MADE HAPPY Well Known Man's Indorsement Is Given to the Public. Former Victim of Nervous De bility States Facts. SCORES ARE AFFECTED Improvement Is Rapid AfterTak ing New Preparation Foreign Product Now Being Demonstrated in Topeka. QJOCIFTY Scores of Topeka people who have that common practical sense which Kuldes them In all thetr act3 and con clusions are coming out unreservedly with, statements regarding the new tonic. 'Tona Vita." the remarkable properties of which are being demon strated at the Arnold Drug Company. 623 Kansas Avenue, in a manner that Is causing general surprise in this city. iWell known among the recent en dorsers of thi3 new tonic is W. E. Smith. 126 Washington St., WichUa, elao known in Topeka. "T have been in poor health for some time, said Mr. Smith. "My condition erew gradually worse and during the last few months it has ben hard for me to get relief. I didn't eat or sleep well, and had no energy at all. My work as a conductor requires my stand ing a goodlv portion of the time, and often it seemed that my back would break. I had a sallow skin and had little life in me. My stomach was in bad shape and I suffered with intense nervousness. I would become startled at the slightest nois-? and my heart would beat rapid at the slightest ex ertion. "I heard of "Tona Vita. and thought if it was helping so many as they say !t was it would surely do me some good. It helped me in a few- doses and every day I have become stronger and better. My stomach trouble has dis appeared and I am no longer in that run down condition." The Arnold Drug Company 13 head quarters for this tonic and specialists are always on hand between the hours of 9 a. m. and 8 p. m., dally to explain the nature of th-3 remarkable remedy. These specialists claim that a large percentage of the population, especially among the city people, are affected by nervous debility. One of the specialists raid today in discussing the matter. "The symptoms of nervous debility ar5 unmistakable to those who know how prevalent this trouble is. A tired, drag ging feeling of the body, a sluggish mind and dull memory, depression of spirits, nervousness, stomach trouble, weak back, cold feet, headache and bowel trouble. These are sure indica tions of nervous debility. 'Tona Vita' will positively remove this condition. If it doesn't, the tri;il costs nothing, as it must do the work or w-? don't want the money for it. We believe we have a preparation that is "worth its wefeht in gold to the man or woman afflicted with nervous debility." Min- was the GRAND TODAY f; Prices NIeht 2re. 35c, 50c.

The affair was a Post finals jubilee dance, and the active and alumnae girl3 were hostesses. A stout woman of Topeka who has tried dieting and exercises, is discour aged. Before beginning to do without her breakfast, sugar in coffee, and be fore discarding bread and potatoes from her bill of fare, she went to get weighed. Two weeks later she thought she saw a marked difference in the fit of her dr?sses, and wishing to chow a fellow-sufferer what fasting had done for her, she took her fat friend to the grocery store with her to. see her weighed. Confident that she had lost at least twenty pounds, she stepped onto the scales and adjusted the weights. The register showed that she had gained five. She abused the proprietor for keeping false scales, but he assured her they were inspected and correct. She found no way to explain it and decided to go back to the old way of eating what she wanted and when she wanted it. and the fat sister who had gone with her on weigh day never told that she had kept her foot on the scales and bore down hard enough to counteract two weeks of starving. Mrs Ellen Humphries and Mr. George Gallon, of Toluca. Illinois, were quietly m -.rried this morning at -eleven o'clock, at Mrs. Humphries' home on Harrison street.
