Cordons of troops, the most capable being cav airy equipped for a long and syste matic siege and search of the moun tains of Carroll and adjoining coun ties, seem today to be the only prac ticable method by which the mem bers of the Allen clansmen can be captured. Reports from Mount Airy. N. C. received late today, left serious doubt as to whether the outlaws had been surrounded at Squirrels Spur as had been reported last night. de tectives have searched the roads and houses in this vicinity within a radius of 15 miles and have been unable to find any clue of the Present hiding places of the fugitives. Without fa cilities for camping the posse has not dared to spend a night in the moun tains anywhere near the summit ot tne Blue Ridge where the Aliens are be lieved to be hiding. Four men of the posse who accompanied Deputy Fie d Agent Steve Faddis of the revenue rvice to Floyd Allen's home to con fiscate illicit stills and other para i iio wi-iii-Tiprl here today. iney brought with them four outfits and also about fifty gallons of moonshine Great quantities of the illicit whis ky was poured out on the ""J1 side.

It is known that Chief Tom Felts and at least a dozen of his men all of whom are familiar with the mountain section here, have secreted themselves on hills and among the roadways over which they believe the ..n aro traveling on foot. ine detectives said none of the hunted men had a hers when they leit nome. Tlionalit They Hart Them. Confident that they had located the rt.itiows the detectives stretched a cor don around the base of Squirrel's spur late last night ana guaraeu eveiy ap proach vigilantly a. they waited for a Burvey of the surroundings by day lignt before undertaking to close in. In the meantime a messenger had been sent to Mount Airy. 12 miles r.way call ing for volunteers to aid in storming the position of the fugitives. Interest shifted from the Devil's Den vicinity to Squirrel spur late yesterday when a large posse which had been scouring the mountains on the North Carolina side barely missed catching Wesley Edwards, a nephew of the older Allen, at his cabin eight miles east of Sidna Allen's home. Edwards escaped through a back door. His sister told the officers th... Sidna Allen, suffering from a severe wound, had been at the cabin Sunday and had told Wesley to meet him at Squirrel's spur last night. Taking Edwards' trail the posse fol lowed him to the rendezvous, arriving near the foot of the cliff about 10 o'clock. Not daring to do more in the darkness, the detectiv.es placed them selves to prevent the possibility of an escape. News that they had moved against the Aliens was expected mo mentarily this morning. They Slay Have Scattered. Here the belief is growing that the fugitives with a full day's start on their pursuers have escaped and scattered Into remote villages. They would rot be recognized after traveling 25 miles in any direction. If they have fled in pairs, perhaps to re-unite somewhere in N jrth Carolina, West Virginia or Ten nessee there would be no hope of imme diate capture. To determine this definitely. Captain H. W. Davint of the state militia, is be lieved to be anxious to surround the n.' untains with 200 men and peer into every nook and cranny, day after day, stationing guards on the principal high ways to cut off any food supplies. At the same time every effort is being made to circulate descriptions of the Aliens among the county authorities f all neighboring states. Faith of many people here, however, still is placed in the ability of the mountaineer detectives to locate the Aliens. It is believed y watching the activities of women members of the Allen clan they may intercept some communication Airs. Sidna Allen, at the home of j Steven Williams, expressed regret when I told that Floyd Allen still was alive. "I have no idea where Sidna went when he left me Thursday," she continued. "I only wish I did. I wish there never had been a gun made. I left our home the night this awful thing happened and my husband was still there. A3 I kissed him good bye he told me to do everything I could for our two little children and be kind to his dog and cat." Denial From Mount Airy. Charlotte, N. C, March 19. A corres pondent at Mt. Airy wires that officers positively deny the Aliens are sur rounded in the Squirrel Gap section. They say if the Aliens have been locat ed up to this time the officers on the Mount Airy side know nothing of it. Request for Re-enforcement. Mount Airy, N. C, March 19. Sev eral citizens left Mount Airy at day break today for Squirrel'sSpur 12 miles away in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, just across the state line, to aid in the capture of the Allen clans men, if the report that they have been located proves true. The men re sponded to a call from the head of the posse, who last night sent an ur gent request by messenger asking that every available man in town come to the scene of the supposed roundup. The men were armed heavily and car ried provisions for several days. At Squirrel's Spur they will join the 40 who left here two days ago to scour the country between here and the homes of the Aliens about Devil's den WAGON CRUSHES HIM. A. G. Woodcock Badly Injured When Team Runs Away. In the fourth runaway in which he has been the victim within four months A. G. Woodcock, aged 65 years, and living at 2213 Fillmore street, was seri ously if not fatally injured. The ac cident occurred at the corner of West Fifteenth street and Kansas avenue during the noon hour. There were many people on the street at the time. The team, which has come to be re garded as dangerous, took fright at something on the street and ran south, i At Fifteenth street it turned west aiid here it was that Woodcock was thrown I from the wagon.

The wagon- was re duced almost to kindling wood. NAT GOODWIN EXCITED Mucli Married Comedian Denver Editor. Will Sue New York, March 19. Nat C. Good win, America's greatest farceur, is a very angry person. So angry is he that he has sent his attorney, Herman I. Roth, to Denver to have the editor of a paper out here sued criminally and civilly and is anxious to send the editor to jail. "I don't remember his name and I don't remember the name of the paper," said Goodwin last night as he came off the stage after the performance ol Oliver Twist. "This isn't the first time he has done it and I mean that they shall stop kicking my private life around. "This fellow attacked me several months ago and I paid no attention to it. Then he kept it up and lately he wrote this piece that was sent to me through the mail. That is where he made the mistake. "I've sued him for $100,000 and I don't care if he has not a cent. I am going to try to put him where he belongs. "He said I was a robber of the fire side and home and a man who dragged defenseless women to the altar and later deserted them. As a man of the world you know and every one that knows me knows that is untrue. "I took that stuff to District Attorney Wise and he said it was libelous. I could have brought the suit here but it would cost the government a lot of money so I am bringing it in Den ver." JAPAN IS INSULTED. Member of the House Condemns Sena tor Dillingham's Bill. Toxio, March 19. Count Hattori, a member of the opposition, today in the Japanese house of representatives, con demned Senator Dillingham's bill amending the immigration laws of the United States as an insufferable insult to Japan. The Japan government's willingness to participate in the Pan ama exposition, he said was contra dictory to Japan's, honor and interest. No reply was made from the govern ment side. One of the members of the cabinet promised that a written response would be given later. Senator Dillingham's bill provides for the exclusion of laborers and ar tisans of races ineligible for Americai. naturalization. It was understood that this meant both Japanese and Chinese and later, on the suggestion of Sena tor Lodge, the cause was amended so that the Japanese would not be offend ed. TAFT TO SEE MITCHELL President Is Keeping in Touch With Strike Situation. Manchester, March 19. It became known today that while President Taft has not sought to interfere in the anthracite coal deadlock, he is keeping in close touch with both sides and will see John Mitchell this week. GERMANY JARRED Churchill's Speech in of Commons House Believed to Hare Caused Kaiser to Change Flans. Berlin, March 19. Emperor Wil liam haa most unexpectedly postponed his departure for Vienna, Venice and Corfu, which was scheduled for March 22. This announcement made this morning caused surprise. The reason officially assigned for the postpone ment is "difficulties in the sphere of internal politics." This explanation is so indefinite that it may refer to the coal strike, or, as is more probable to the conflict now going on in connection with the pro vision of finances to cover the increase in the army and navy recently decided upon and which caused the resignation of Adolf Wermuth, formerly secretary of the imperial treasury. There is a strong disposition here, however, to connect the emperor s action with tne speech delivered yesterday by Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the ad miralty in the British house or com mons. This view is strengtnenea uy the fact that the emperor in the course of the morning paid a long visit to Ad miral Albert von Tirpitz, secretary or the imperial navy, immediately after which leading officers of the admiral- tv staff assembled in conterence, tne object of which is not disclosed. The reason impelling the emperor to change the plans of his foreign trip must be quite important as it will in volve the embarrassment of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria and Kins Victor Emmanuel of Italy, whose ar rangements for the meeting have all hpen made. Public opinion of the speech of Winston Spencer Churchill has not yet crystallized, but his refer ences to Germany are regarded in many quarters as highly inopportune in view of the attempts being made to reach an understanding between the two countries. 1 The negotiations which followed on the trip to Berlin of Viscount liaiaane, t?i-)HoVi spnrptarv of state for war are being continued, but any big hopes of their success which may nave Deen en tertained are failing gradually. The negotiators would now be sat isfied in all probability if they could achieve no more than a simple re moval of the sources of misunder ctBnrtintr which hitherto have existed. The bourse was weak today, operators regarding Mr. Churchill s speecn as to noin extent unfriendly to Ger- ,ot.v oni th. iiostDonement of the Corfu visit of the emperor giving birth to many rumors in regard to the in ternal and foreign situation. Govern ment stocks were generally lower. Cologne Gazette Replies. Cologne, March 19. In replying today to the speech made yesterday by Winston Spencer Churchill in the British house of commons, the Cologne Gazette adopts an unusually sharp tone. It says in sub nee that Great Britain must decide from the stand point of her own interests what in crease of her fleet is necessary and that Germany must do the same thing. It continues: "Germany will hardly ever have a navy equal to that of Great Britain but if Germany's navy is to be destroyed the victory must cost the enemy so heavily that England will hardly have any resources left to de fend its great international interests." KNOX IS SATISFIED. The Secretary Tjeaves Guatemala for Venezuela. On Board the United States Cruiser Washington, at Sea, March 19. Secre tary of State Knox, who with his party came on board at Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, bound direct for La Guaira, Venezuela, is well satisfied with the re sult of his visit to Central American capitals. Weather Forecast. Chicago, March 19. Forecast for Kansas: Unsettled tonight and Wed nesday. Snow flurries accompanied by high northerly winds. Cold wave. COLD WAVE NEXT Tonight the Temperature Will Tumble to 20 Degrees. Snow Flurries and High Wind Is on Program. The last day of winter is to end with a cold wave, according to the warning which reached the local office of the weather bureau today at 10 o'clock.

The shippers' forecast is: "Protect perishable goods north against a tem perature of 6 to 10 degrees; west 15 degrees: south and east 22 degrees." This, according to "Sunny" Flora, the local observer, means a temperature of about 20 degrees for Topeka. blx years ago tomorrow the tem perature was 5 degrees above zero. It was the last farewell embrace of win ter and the visit of the frost monarch tonight is expected to be his farewell performance of the present season. spring arrives tomorrow night at 6 o'clock. The last few days have been merely rehearsals of the program to be put on after the return engagement of winter. It is not believed the snow fall will be heavy or the cold period or long duration. Weather Still Pleasant. The kind of weather that one would expect in April has been the order of things today. It has been decidedly pleasant and balmy. The wind is blowing from the north at the rate of 12 miles an hour mid before night a decided chilliness will be noted. The temperature today is averaging 12 de grees above normal.

I FOR WAR OR PEACE The Question Is to Be Decided at a Conference Between Coal Miners and Operators at Clereland. Cleveland, March 19. Whether there will be war or peace in the bitu minous fields at the expiration of the present contracts on March 31 will be known, it was said today, by the end of the first session of the conference of operators and miners of western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi nois here tomorrow. Three hundred and six thousand bituminous miners in the United States and Canada will abide by the resuH of the conference and if a strike is called nearly 500,000 men will quit work on April 1 when it is predicted the anthracite miners will walk out. Briefly stated the situation is this: The operators demand a wage de crease. The miners demand a wage increase. The best either party hopes for is a compromise. Representatives of the operators, eight from each of the four states, will meet here today in preliminary conferenc-3. If the agrtemint is not renewed work will stop automatically April 1, but any action of the miners' representatives must be favored in a referendum vote by the miners before it becomes legal. Strike Scare' Subsides. New York, March 19. There was a subsidence of the anthracite strike scare today, and in consequence there was a falling off in the pressing de mand for hard coal from frightened consumers. The belief is gaining ground that both sides will reach an agreement and that if there is a suspension of work April 1 it will not last long. The operators say they are ready to confer with the men on any reasonable proposition and consider the situation from all angles. There are also re ports from the hard coal region that the miners' officials are ready to meet the operators half way. The report from the west that Presi dent Taft may be asked to take a hand in the situation to avert a strike was read with interest but there was no comment made by the operators. Meanwhile the operators are said to be doing nothing toward preparing for a strike. Local hotels, hospitals and transit lines are all stocked with coal in preparation for a long strike. CARNEGIE SAID "NO." Was Asked by Roosevelt to Finance His Campaign. "New York, March 19. The Sun this morning prints the following un der a Washington date: "As long ago as November of last year. Colonel Roosevelt went to An drew Carnegie and appealed to .the philanthropist to help finance his campaign again. And Mr. Carnegie turned the colonel down. "When Mr. Carnegie was here to testify before the Stanley committee in the steel investigation he seemed to be convinced that Colonel Roose velt would be a candidate against Mr. Taft. When several of his close friends shook their heads doubtfully over that notion, Mr. Carnegie smiled dryly. He thought he knew better. A particularly good friend of Mr. Car negie pressed him, it is said, for his reason for believing that Colonel Roosevelt would get in the race. Then Mr. Carnegie told about the colonel's appeal for cash. "Colonel Roosevelt has recently been to see me,' said Mr. Carnegie, 'to ask me if I would assist him in financing his campaign again.' Mr. Carnegie, so the story goes, paused a little over the 'again' and gave a light smile. 'I told him, Mr. Carnegie con tinued, 'that I regarded a renomlna tion as Mr. Taft's due and that all my sympathies were with Mr. Taft's administration. "Not a word more would Mr. Car negie say about Roosevelt appealing. M GALLOWS HIS END Convict Morley, Saved by Of ficers, Will Hang. Soon to Be Tried for Murder of Warden. TELLS STORY OF THE FIGHT Once Prevented Dowd From Killing Self. Farmer Driver Was the First to Fall. Lincoln, March 19. Charles Mor ley, the living member of the trio of convicts who were overtaken after a four day hunt, yesterday and who kill ed three men in making their attempt to escape from the penitentiary prob ably will be given his preliminary "earing in the latter part of the week. The charge to be filed aginst him will be that of "conspiracy with intent to commit murder." 'We have filed an information against Morley, Dowd and Gray charging murder in the first degree," said Deputy County Attorney Hager today, "but we will be unable to rely on that as we have no proof as to which convict fired the fatal shots. The charge bf conspiracy with in tent to commit murder covers the same offense and meets with the same penalty as the first degree charge but the elements of the crime are different." (Continued on Page Two.) ARBOR DAY CALL. Governor Stubbs Issues His Proclama tion Today. Governor Stubbs' Arbor day proc lamation issued today and setting April 9 as the date for planting trees, is the shortest and at the same time the most concise proclamation ever issued from the executive department of this state. It covers all the ground of a more lengthy and flowery an nouncement yet "he expression of the need for mere trees and the duty of the citizens to plant them is made as strong as though the proclamation covered a printed page. The proclamation reads as follows: There are one million, seven hun dred thousand people in Kansas. If every citizen would plant one tree, or shrub, for each and every year of his life the treeless territory would be re claimed; natural resources would be conserved; by performing this sim ple duty., every person may provide a refuge and a retreat for the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, and become a blessing and benediction to the sons and as ughters of men. Therefore, I, Waltor R. Stubbs, gov ernor of Kansas, do hereby designate Tuesday, April 9, as Arbor Day, and I hope that all universities, colleges and public schools will have appro priate exercises in commemoration of the day and that all the inhabitants will join with them in planting trees and shrubbery, in order that Kansas may. as nearly as possible, attain this end. In testimony whereof, I have here unto subscribed my name and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Kansas. Done at the state capitol, in the city of Topeka. on this nine teenth day of March 1912. W. R. STUBBS. Governor. FIRST AT THE POLLS. LaFollette Men Out Early at North Dakota Primaries. Fargo, March 19. Heavy voting for Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin mark ed the opening of the first state pres idential preference primary today. Ap parently responding to Senator LaFol lette's personal appeal issued during his recent rapid trip across the state followers of the Wisconsin man were the first at the polls in many pre cincts. This particularly was true in Fargo, Grand Forks and other points in the eastern end of the state. Campaign managers for Theodore Roosevelt said reports received from Bismarck, Manda and other points in the western end of the state showed that Roosevelt had lost nothing; ae a result of Senator LaFollette's speech making tour. There has been no effort made by the national Taft committee to bring out votes for the president in the pri maries today. It is generally thought the fight lies between the LaFollette and Roosevelt men. Among the Democrats there is no contest in the matter of a presidential choice, as Governor John Burke's name appears alone on the ticket. From re liable sources it was learned today that many Democrats realizing that one pri mary vote for Burke would be as good as a thousand were casting ballots in favor of LaFollette believing a defeat for Roosevelt would widen the breach in the Republican party.

Xo Talk About Any Proceedings. Future St. Louis, March 19. The United States court of appeals today dismiss ed the appeal in the Aetna Building Loan association case from Topeka. confirming the ruling of Judge Pollock to seat the newly elected officers of the corporation. Arguments in the case were heard Monday by the court and the contend ing parties were represented by a half dozen Topeka lawyers, who reviewed the troubles of the loan association and the recent election under a mas ter appointed by the federal court.

It is believed that the troubles in tho camp of the Topeka corporation have been finally settled and no further liti gation over the affairs of the associa tion is anticipated. Since the first legal action was taken by the insurgent wing of the association more than two months ago, they have won every point. They contended for the appointment of a master to preside at the election and to pass on the validity of proxies voted by the opposing candidates for office. Judge Sluss, of Wichita, wa appointed by Judge Pollock and pre sided at the election. When the votes were counted two weeks ago, the new crowd won by a unanimous vote and over mild verba i protests of the opposition. The old of ficers then refused to surrender their Jobs and the matter was again taken before Judge Pollock. He confirmed the report of Judge Sluss and ordereu the immediate removal ot the old board and the formal seating of the newly elected officials. This was done by United States Marshal Harrison over more protests from the regulars. After eurrendering their offices undtr an order of the court, the old board appealed from the ruling of Judge Pol lock and the case was heard this wtvk in St. Louis. Today's order conflrmlrs the removal is considered final. IN ENEMY'S COUNTRY President Tart Invades the State of Governor Bass. Boston, March 19.

(Continued from Page One.) Morley's trial probably will be sec ond on the criminal docket in the April term of court, about April 29. The trial of Albert Prince for the murder of Deputy Warden Davis on February 11, comes up April 23, the first day. The authorities assert the men if convicted probably will hang together. Morley is in a solitary cell at the penitentiary next to that oc cupied by Prince. He was- very tired last night although willing to talk about the break for liberty. His only regret is for the death of Roy Blunt, the young farmer who was killed. Morley's Story of Fight. Lincoln, Neb.. March 19. Charles Morley, the convict who surrendered when his two companions were killed and was taken back to the penitenti ary, told the story of his escape, pur suit and the battle. He said the vol ley from the posse in the fight near Gretna first killed Roy Blunt, who was driving them across country. Convict Taylor was the next man hit and he died within a minute without saying a word. "Dowd," said Morley, "shot himself in the head when he saw escape was impossible. He attempted to do this earlier in the game, but I knocked his hand away and told him that we might as well fight it out. I fired six more shots with my revolver and then Jumped out of the wagon and raised my hands above my head and ran to ward the posse. "Deputy Sheriff Elkinberry caught me by the collar and he and Sheriff Hyers saved my life. The bunch who were in the lead in the buggy wanted to shoot me after I had given up. But the two men would not let them. "We spent Sunday night on the way from Prairie Home," said Morley, in recounting the experiences leading up to the battle. "We stopped at a rarm er's named Elmer Hall and there we ate. We left them tied up and also cut their telephone wires. Near there we stole a handcar. Sunday night we were headed for the rock quarries at Louisville, but changed our route. "We keDt on north until we reached Blunt's, about four miles north of the track. There we ate again and talked with the Blunt boys, Roy and Lloyd, and made them give up a team. We knew that the posse was then only about an hour behind us, so we took Roy Blunt as a hostage, and left a note to the posse telling of this. "From then on north, for ten miles, we kept out of sight of the posse, though we constantly met posses of farmers. These, however, were arm ed with shotguns and whenever they saw us they turned and drove the other way. About fourteen miles north of the tracks, the leading buggy of the sheriff's posse came within shoot ing distance of us. We fired first, but they promptly returned the fire and Rov Blunt and Taylor were killed ear ly in the fisht." Morley declared that the escape from the penitentiary had not been long planned. He did not know of it Thursday morning. The guns were given him and Dowd by Taylor, who also had the explosive. ".We had no trouble In leaving the shops at the penitentiary," said Mor ley. "We simply left in a bunch and walked across the prison yard. We entered the chapel .and Taylor went over to the deputy warden's office. There he shot the deputy warden. Deputy Warden Wagner was the gam est man we met. He drew his revol ver and tried to shoot Taylor, but was dying at the time. "When we made' bur escape we were armed with four revolvers, all 38 calibre. We also took along Pahl's gun, but we did not have very much ammunition. "After our escape from the peni tentiary we had a terrible time In the blizzard. We were almost exhausted when we reached shelter. All of us had our feet and hands frozen. "After the milk boy let us out in Lincoln we struck for some railroad sheds, but after staying there a while we went on to Havelock. There we spent the night in a barn and also stayed the next day. "After staying a night and a day in Havelock, we struck east. We stopped at the Hall residence, near Prairie Home, and stayed there part of Sun day night." The bodies of the tvo dead convicts were brought to the penitentiary. Morley was also taken there and re turned to a cell. The special Burlington train bear ing the sheriff and posse, the two dead convicts and Morley ran through Lin coln without stopping, direct to, the penitentiary, that course being deem ed advisable for fear of a possible demonstration against Morley from the crowd assembled at the Lincoln depot.

STOCKS Trading on the stock market in the early session was larger than in the same period yesterday and leading stocks were de cidedly more active. Reading and Lehigh Valley were helped by the more concilia tory attitude of the coal owners and American Smelting's rise was credited to Washington advices which absolved the company from wrong doing. Amalgamat ed Copper went to a high price for this movement of confirmation of another ad vance in metal quotation. Hill railway stocks did not share appreciably in the early gains of Great Northern Ore Certifi cates and United States Steel was the most backward of the speculative Issues. Further activity in American Canadian and Rock Island called renewed attention to the activities of an influential factor interested in those properties. Early gains were followed by the inevitable profit taking with resultant recessions of a point In various issues. Bonds were Irregular. Bull operations were conducted along conservative lines and prices marked up In a normal fashion. Some of the favor ite stocks were pushed up steadily. Includ ing Reading, Lehigh Valley and Amalga mated Copper but Union Pacific and Unit ed States Steel showed periods of hesita tion when the realizing sales outweighed the new buying. Various minor shares rose from 1 to 2 points with a marked partiality shown for the low priced is sues. Yesterday's late buying movement was lftsumed on a fairly large scale at the opening of today's stock market. Ad vances included one point in Reading, Illi nois. Central and American Canadian pre ferred.

FllKIGHT RCTEM E INCREASED. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Persons living- along the hundreds of miles of Santa Fe railroad in Kan sas are becoming accustomed to look to this road for their source of amuse ment, entertainment and instruction. The good roads train which Is travel Jng over the eastern parts of the stata this week is carrying out the instruc tion feature of the program in excel lent shape- Hundreds of farmers are driving for many miles to see the Santa Fe-K. A. C. good roads special. And the drives they have been having over the deep muddy highways this week art enough to make them listen with at tentive ear to all the agricultural col lege experts have to say about the im provement of their roads. This is one of the many trains of instruction that the Santa Fe has sent over its lines in Kansas and other southwestern states. Wheat and dry farming trains have pleased the farm ers. The townspeople have heard the officials of the Santa Fe speak in their halls, tell funny stories and listen to their complaints. This was the "har mony special." The demonstration train has interested the farmers, the city people and the children. There is no doubt but that the good roads train is one of the best features ever undertaken. A State Journal rep resentative accompanied the train on the first days' trip through northeast ern Kansas. At every station a big crowd was waiting for the arrival, of the train. The residents of the towns as well as the farmers attended the lectures on the cars and they were told how to enforce their town ordin ances and making it possible to have better streets. The high school students were toid the advantages of social relationship with good roads. The better travel in the towns, the closer intercourse from the country and the beauty of their little cities. After every lecture the speakers set aside five minutes for questions. many stations it was necessary in ordr to keep up the train schedule to stop the farmers from asking questions. All were interested. They wajited to know Tv hy their county officers were not do inar their duty and if the State Agri cultural college would send its engi neer to straighten out matters for them. They wanted to know how soor. a road should be dragged after it had rained and if it was advisable to grade 60-foot roads when 30-foot highways were -.vide enough to handle traffic. The speakers on the train were: AV. P. Gearhart. state higihway engineer; H. B. Walker, state drainage engi neer; J. H. Miller, superintendent ex tension service; A. R. Losh, assistant state highway engineer; H. L. Kent extension department; Charles J. Dil lon, industrial journalism department. The Santa Fe representatives were: F. S. Savage, advertising agesnt of To peka; J. F. Jarrell, publicity agent of Topeka and Joseph Bacon, assistant colonization agent, Chicago. Gain of 68.08 Per Cent in Last Seven teen years.

BASEBALL GAB AND GOSSIP. Members of New Mexico Legislature Are Held for Bribery. NEW KANSAS "PAPER"' ROAD. "Hutchinson Northern" AVould Slake N'ortb and South On toft. Application has been mane ror a charter ly the Hutchinson Northern Railway company, which is projected to build from Hutchinson to a connection with the r risco at BuxTtotn, and thence northerly through McPherson and Saline counties to the north line of the state. The incorporators of the company are five Hutchinson men. I.. A. Bunker, C. O. Hitchcock. Lincoln S. Davis, F. E. Fearl and Will S. Thompson. The company is incorporated with a. capital stock of $100,000. The men who are behind the movement are Hutchinson business men identified with the Com mercial club, and who have been long agitating the building of such a road to the northeast. The Immediate purpose is to connect Hutchinson up with the Frisco system, nd the first section of the road to be built will be the few mile3 between Hutchinson and Burrton. The intention is then to carry the road I Albuquerque, N. M., March 19. Four members of the New Mexico legislature have been arrested in Santa Fe, charg ed with accepting bribes to vote for certain candidates for United States senators, first vote on which will be taken by the legislature today. Bribes amounting to $500 each are said to have been paid them. The arrest of the legislators, all mem bers of the house of representatives, was effected by means of a ruse, and came as a dramatic climax to dicker- ings extending over several days, it is alleged. Those arrested were Representatives Julian Trujillo and J. P. Lucero of Rio, Arraba county; Manuel Cordova and Luis Montoya, of Taos county. They are alleged to have been caught vita the money in their possession. The ar rests were made Dy Territorial Mount ed Policeman A. A. Sena, in a room at the Palace hotel in Santa Fe, where the men met by appointment. Immediately after their arrest the four legislators were taken to the county jail. After their arrival there they wrote their resignations, which will be presented to the house when it meets today. According to the details obtainable the trap to catch the men was laid by Elfego Baca, of Albuquerque, one of the managers of Judge Albert B. Fall, one of the leading candidates for United States senator, State Chairman Venceslao Jaramillo, one of the Re publican central committee, also men tioned for a senatorship; Joseph O. Sena, clerk of the state supreme court, and A. A. Sena, of the mounted police. The men, it is said, had gone to Manager Baca earlier in the day and demanded $500 for their votes, agreeins so the story goes, to deliver them to Judge Fall. Immediately the proposal was placed before Judge Fall and plana were then laid to catch the men. The money was secured and the men were told to meet Baca in a room in a hotel at 9 o'clock. Officer Sena, Court Clerk Sena and Paramillo then secreted themselves in the bath room adjoining where they could see what took place. As soon as the legislators has been handed the money they burst into the room and the arrests followed. Feel Right Every Morning- and all day, by starting right. A cup of steaming hot Leo Dressen, one of the Cub re cruits, who is making a good eariy showing, is a Kansas boy. Abbott sold him to Cooley last year when the Lyons club broke up. The local man agement was after him but Cooley beat them to the youngster and sold him. Pitcher Rose, fresh from the Blue Ridge mountains, and nearly as high as some of them, is in camp, rie is six and a quarter feet tall. Leo Spahr, the Denver backstop, has already recovered from the attack of blood poisoning resulting from step ping on a nail last winter. This makes the catching staff for the Bears more like a full sized department. Denver scribes are boosting Coffey for the majors this fall and trying to find the reason Quillen doesn't get into faster company. The Mountain town dope sters will not admit that the Bears are less rapid than last year. Gus Soffel, an inflelder, secured from the Hartford club in the Connecticut State League has decided to quit base ball and Holland will hang mourning ribbon on the office door. He was de pended upon to take the place of Bar ney Reilly. The Drummer boss has wired Comiskey to save Rath or Berg hammer for him.

FULL LEASED WIRE REPORT OP THE ASSOCJATKO PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and reostvea the CuU day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is received fn The State Jour sal building over wires for this sale pur pose. Chances are excellent for the even tual capture of the Allen gang which wiped out that Virginia court the other day. Bloodhounds have not been placed on their trail. Isn't It a lucky thing that the groundhogs are dumb animals? Otherwise, the chorus of "I-toId-you-bo'b" that they would be shouting these days would be deafening. It Is also apparent that visitors to either the Republican or the Demo cratic national convention will get their money's worth in the way of interesting and exciting entertain ment. There Is nothing so strange in the fact that "the handsomest man of California" has mysteriously disap peared. A man burdened with such a characterization might be expected to get out of eight. Mayor "Lew" Shank of Indianap olis is certainly progressive enough to suit the most fastidious. He goes to the. Republican national convention from Indiana instructed to vote for the renomination of President Taft. It's unfortunate for the peace of mind of the superstitious fans of Topeka that the Kaws won the first game in which they participated this year. A good beginning makes a bad ending, you know; or so sayeth the soothsayers. Speaking of brave men, a medal for unusual bravery should be award ed to one Lathrop Colgate Harper, who has just married Mabel Herbert Urner, better known as the author of "Confessions of a Neglected Wife." And it may be that some of the Republicans of Idaho who are yelling "Hurrah for Borah" as a Republican presidential possibility are merely do ing so because that campaign cry has such an euphonious ring to It. That, surely, is as good a reason as any. Dun Kl Sui is the minister of war in the new Chinese caoinet that has just been formed by President Yuan Shi Kal. It would appear to have been more appropriate iiad Dun Ki 6ul been named as the new republic's bill collector, or minister of finance. Margaret Anglin is an actress blessed with wonderful sense. She insists that work, hard work, and more of it, has been responsible for her success. That kind of a formula will win success in any field of hu man endeavor. Another instance of the original ity of Colonel Roosevelt's ideas is to be found in his determination to make an active speech-making cam paign for the Republican presidential j nomination. To say the least, this ts an unusual attitude for a "receptive" candidate to assume. rTor is the Republican party the only one where sundry and various presidential booms have fallen by the wayside. What, for instance, has become of the boom of Governor Marshall of Indiana for the Demo cratic presidential nomination? Also the boomlet of Governor Foss of Massachusetts for the same honor? State officers, or some of them, with pads and pencils, are devoting their leisure moments to figuring out just how many acres there are in capitol square. The reasons for de termining the correct answer to this intricate problem have not been an nounced as yet. Perhaps it is for the purpose of making a specific claim that no similar acreage in the entire world can produce so many dande lions to the square inch. Those having an idea 'hat Senator Brlstow is the only Kansan who is still favorable to the candidacy of LaFolIette for the Republican presi dential nomination are badly mis taken. A presidential preferential poll of the pupils In the high school at Lyndon, Osage county, shows La Follette to be a favorite among them even over Roosevelt. In mis poll, the Lyndon high school pupils gave La Follette 24 Votes to Roosevelt's 21. When Colonel Roosevelt announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination he declared that he would abide by the decision of the national convention. From the activities and utterances of his cam paign managers, it begins to look as though they and their following were making all the necessary plans for a grand walkout from the national con vention aa soon as they ascertain for a certainty that their hopes of con trolling it are mere dreams of the sort that don't come true. AS TO TARIFF RECORDS. Doesn't it come with pretty poor grace for some of the enthusiastic sup porters of Colonel Roosevelt to criticize with severity the tariff record of Presi dent Taft? What sort of a tariff rec ord h&s their candidate that they can submit in comparison? As a matter oi fact Colonel Roosevelt and the tariff are as strangers. Except for one speech he delivered on his tour through the west just after his return from Africa, Colonel Roosevelt has been as silent on the tariff during the many years of his prominence in the public arena as ts the proverbial clam. That was a ref erence to the tariff along most general lilies. Certain it is that during hii two terms of incumbency in the presi dential office he ignored the tariff and its revision as though it were a pesti lence. During the last months of his second term, and after the election of Mr. Taft to the presidency, when Col. Roosevelt was urged to take some steps towards effecting a necessary and pro per revision of the tariff he caused tremendous laughter in the galleries by remarking: "Every man must skin his own skunks, and the tariff is Taft's skunk." As a matter of fact the tariff and its revision was just as much a Roose velt skunk as it was Taft's. In one of the last speeches he made before his assassination, the late President Mc Kinley. an ardent disciple of a high protective tariff, expressed the opinion that the time was drawing near when there should be something of a revis ion of the tanii. He urged that the time was at hand when the matter of arranging reciprocity trade treaties with foreign countries should be given serious consideration". Such reciprocity treaties are an ideal method of tariff revision in the right way. Every or.e knows of the solemn promise Mr. Roosevelt made on his assumption ot the presidency, to bend every energy to carry out the activities and the ideas of William McKinley in the administra tion of the affairs of the government. Surely Mr. McKinley's pronouncement on the need for reciprocity treaties and tariff revision was one of the legacies thus voluntarily accepted by Colontl Roosevelt. But what steps did he take during hU two terms in the presidential ofiice to carry out this policy projected by Mc Kinley just before he went to his un timely death? He didn't take a single one. His tariff record, while he wa. president, is as barren of any sort of action as is a Mexican hairless dog of fleas. If Colonel Roosevelt had done his full duty to the tariff while he was president, there would probably by this time have been something approaching a settlement of this important mas ter of tariff revision. Colonel Roose velt, however, dodged the tariff wit.' most successful agility when he was president. He seems to be dodging it yet. There was no mention of the tariff In his famous Columbus speech which is considered the platform on which he is campaigning for a third tenr. nominaticn. And yet the tariff isue promises to be the paramount one in the forthcoming presidential campaign. Almost every move that the Democrats are making in congress shows this to be so. President Taft's tariff record Is one of gigantic acccmplishment when com pared with the Roosevelt tariff record, that is, if it is possible to compare something with nothing. President Taft has never dodged the tariff issue for an instant. Every one knows just where he stands on it. He is for a tariff revision downward that shall be based on facts and figured procured through th- investigations of a tari.i. board or a tariff commission. All fair minded men, when they are not play ing politics, will admit that this is the only proper way to revise the tar.i, if there is to be a tariff at all. BASEBALL OX THE RACK. Poor old baseball! Its Ides of March seems to be in the not distant future. The reason is as simple as it is con clusive. The politicians are after it. Whatever they touch, it seems to with er or die, or else its usefulness is crippled to a serious extent. There may be one possible exception. That is the tax rate. Under the ministrations of the politicians it flourishes like the proverbial green bay tree. But almost everything else to which the politi cians give their wise attention is blighted and hampered. Look at Alaska. Look at the railroads. Look at business generally. It stagnates and knows not which way to turn while the politicians tinker away at the tariff, at trust laws, et cetera, .et cetera, and merely for the purpose of adding to their stock of political cap ital; for the sake of making "records" with which they hope to fool the credulous people Into keeping them at the public crib where the picking is fat and the living easy. That baseball has kept out of their clutches so long. Is something of a mystery. But they are after it now. Representative Gallagher of Illinois after much diligent inquiry, presum ably, has discovered a "baseball trust." He calls it the "most audacious and autocratic trust in the country." That sounds great, doesn't it? Surely it ought to make a hit with many of the unthinking. At least It has brought one Gallagher into the limelight. May be that Is all- that he has desired. It is so hard to shine these days in" the political arena. The self -constituted stars are so many. Some unusual stunt must be put on to make even a glimmer. Nothing but a probe into the ma chinations of the "baseball trust" will suit Gallagher. He wants a special congressional committee created to in sert this probe. Let "er go Gallagher! But be careful that you do not come a cropper. Baseball is the people's sport. It's the great national game And the people have always appeared willing to support it with their two- bits, their half-dollars and their dol lars under the methods and plans by which it has been developed and is now maintained. The people might not tolerate congressional interfer ence. Baseball is a clean game now. That's why it has such a hold on the rank and file of the people of these United States. Will it be as clean when the politicians get through with it? Not likely. They have such a hab it of soiling things. And incidentally if Mr. Gallagher is able to fool the house of representa tives into paying attention to his whim there will likely be a tremendous scramble for places on this special investigating committee. Its mem bers and their extensive retinue of stenographers, sergeants-at-arms and all the other hangers-on that are common to congressional investigating committees, will have free access to all the baseball games next season. That will be written in the bond. JOURNAL ENTRIES Any number of people look on an alarm clock as a necessary nuisance.

SAYS UNCLE GAV Whenever I find a man who has spent his life peddlin' smiles I just naturally think "For God so loved the world." Translate that meaning into any terms you like, according to your own religious convictions or the lack of 'em, and it's all the same. Say that tne Dest Dlessing of kindly nature is her tendency to produce men who radiate good cheer and make the world better and therefore happier. Or say that He so loved the world that He sent such men into, it and keeps them here a long time because they'll be badly missed when they go. For my part I can understand neith er religion nor success that can't be expressed in terms of Joy. I believe that anything that doesn't bring hap piness sooner or later Is an abomina tion, and I don't care whether you call it religion, morals, ethics, duty or what not. I also believe that any suc cess that Isn't happy Is a failure, and l aon t care how much of a success it seems to be. The best man in the world is the man who makes those around him happy. It doesn't make any difference whether he is preacher or peddler, teacher or tinker, evangelist or actor, reformer or rough neck. The essence of human service is to make the lots of yourself and others better the aim and result of goodness are happiness, and there you are. To create happiness Is the chief end of man, and you can substitute neither creed nor code for this service and get satisfactory results. it is more than likely that men you have called fools because they do not agree with you in secular matters are wiser than you because they know that the secret of altruistic success is to radiate joy; it is just as likely that men you call bad because they differ from you in religion are better than you are because they spread sunshine while you are constantly trying to take the sunshine away from those who can t see things as you see them. Pity the fellow who can't smile hard enough to pass it on to the next. It matters little what else he does or what he believes: real goodness is not in him and he's a sorry sort of failure.

THE EVENING STORY The Assistant Postmaster. (By Cora A. Thompson.) The Misses Chilton's school for girls was situated half a mile outside the village of Rockwell, and the num ber of pupils averaged forty. It was in part what is called a school of honor; the young ladies were permitted to take walks in the country and visit the postoffice and candy stores in the village with out being accompanied by a guard. It was understood that each pupil was on her honor not to flirt or elope. The eldest Miss Chilton was forty four years old, and her sister four years younger, and neither of them had ever been in love or expected to be. They were cut out for old maids and were very well satisfied. For eight long years not a single one of the many good-looking girls of the Chilton school had flirted or eloped. It had given the Chilton sisters a sense of security such as a police force could not have established. It is only fair to explain that the farm ers sons within two miles of the school were always too busy chopping wood or hoeing potatoes to flirt, and that the village was a staid old place never visited by drummers. Before putting the girls on their honor the Misses Chilton had care fully looked the field over. There were half a dozen young men, but they were lame and halt and homely. There was Deacon Bradshaaw. a wid ower, who dyed his hair and acted colty now and then, but the sisters figured that he would not dare go be yond certain bounds. No; the place was safe, and that was'why the shock came with such force when it did come. There was a shock one summer morning. One of Mr. Dupont's powder magazines didn't blow up and level the cornstalks for ten miles around, but the shock shook Chilton school from cellar to garret. Fanny, the elder sister, returned from the village one forenoone and fell in other sister's arms in hysterical mood. When she had been soothed and petted for five minutes she con trolled her emotions sufficiently to ex claim: "Flora, It is our ruin!" "What!" "There's there's a young man in the village!" "N-o-o-o!" "I have seen him with my own eyes!" 'Impossible, sister!'' "And have found out all about him!" "And he is an escaped convict?" "Not exactly that, but almost as bad. Oh. sister, we shall have to close our school within a month!" "But tell me." The postmastership at the village of Rockwell had been held by an old war veteran for many years. He was fail ing all the time, and had finally sent out West and brought on a nephew of his and made him assistant post master. This nephew was a young man named Clarence Sprague. and for smartness and good looks his like had never been seen in the village. He ar rived one evening and took up his duties next morning. When half a dozen girls from the Chiltcn school rushed in at 11 o'clock, giggling, laugh ing and cutting up, there was a new face at the general delivery window a new face and a good-looking one. The owner of that face smiled at them and flirted with them, and the bevy ran out with a great clatter and slapped each other on the back. Their day had come at last. It is not to be imagined that those girls returned to the school to give the news to the old maid sisters and plead for protection. They returned to tell other girls, but to swear them to sec recy. The "discovery" was to be kept inviolate as long as possible. It was two weeks before the blow fell. During that fortnight there was more flirtin in Rockwell than since the first log house was Dullt by the first pioneer. Then the elder Miss Chilton dropped into the postoffice and saw with her own eyes and almost fell over In a faint. There were those who told her about the flirting, and when she reached home she was in a hysterical condition. The first thing was an edict to pre vent the pupils from visiting the village without permission, -and there was dis satisfaction at once. There were even threats to leave the school. After three or four days of troubled minds the old maids solved the problem. They called on the postmaster and informed him that he must at once remove his nephew. "But why?" asked the old vet, who had heard nothing of the gossip. "Because he he flirts with our pu pils!" "Don't blame him a darned bit! If I was a young feller I'd do the same." "But he mustn't! You hear he mustn't! It will break up our school." "Nonsense! If you'd done a little flirting yourselves In days gone by you'd have been all the better for it. I want Clarence here, and here he will stay." "Sir, we shall appeal to the postmaster-general!" was the awful threat, as the old maids retired. And appeal they did, and right on the ground, too, that the assistant post master at Rockwell was a flirt and bringing discredit on ie department. It Isn't likely that the official read the letter or reply, but some clerk who sympathized with the assistant an swered: "Flirtations are not forbidden by the rules of this department unless they seriously interfere with the work of the official, and we do not think that Is the case in this instance." The Misses Chilton had been sure they could oust the young man and drive him back toward sunset, and the failure was a great disappointment. "I'll tell you what we must do," said the elder sister, as the case was talked over. "We must not forbid the young ladies eoing into town, but we must se lect the most steady and demure among them and have her act as chaperon for the rest. She can take up so much c that youne- man's time that he wJlj have none left for flirtations." These two old maids, brought up on oatmeal and the New Testament, and neither having ever been escorted home from prayer meeting by a man. thought they knew all about girl-nature! The "demure" girl they made chaperon was the biggest flirt in the school. She was a model chaperon while within sight of the school buildings, but once the vil lage wa3 reached it was: "Xow, girls, scatter and have a good time, but don't too many of you Jam into the postoffice at once." And as the days went past the Misses Chilton grew secure and com placent, and now and then the elder said: i "Sister Flora, you must give me credit for perspicacity In this case." "I do, sister Fanny," was the reply. "But for you our school would have been broken up by this time. Have there been any further reports of flirtations?" Not a one, sister." "How grand to be able to under stand human character!" Two weeks later and then the whole world seemed to be spinning around like a .top. One afternoon the "de mure" chaperon was missed. Search was made, even under the beds and In the bureau drawers. It was extended into the country, but in vain. No one had seen a demure young lady of steady appearance paddling along through the dust. There were two persons in the school that got no sleep that night. When morning came they went to the postoffice In the hope of striking a clew. They were not dis appointed. The old veteran was on duty, and at sight of them he rubbed his hands together and said: "Come right in, ladies; I have solved the problem!" "We are looking for Miss Blank," was the reply. "And you've come to the right place. I lent Clarence my horse and buggy yesterday to drive off and marry her, and now all your troubles are o'er. He can't flirt with any of the rest of the school!" (Copyrighted. 1912, by As sociated Literary Press.) EVENING CHAT BT RUTH CAMERON. "I wouldn't give much for a person who didn't have backbone enough to hate some one." I heard a girl say that the other day In justification of a statement which she had Just made about disliking one of the girls at her school. Her moth er had gently rebuked her for having such a feeling, and the above statement, accompanied by a toss of the head, was her way of taking the rebuke. It seems to me that this idea that It takes backbone to be an enemy, and that it is a sign of a high-strung and desirable temperament to hate, has a good deal of prevalence. People quote, in support of this view, the saying that a man who has no enemies has not done very much. They have the wrong idea. By a man's enemies, this saying means those who hate him, not those whom he hates. To be hated may sometimes be a sign of character; to hate never. I wish the folks who hold this peculiar idea would ns.ke a business some day of analyzing the causes and motives behind all the hatreds which they pride them selves on cherishing, and then see if they think hating is so fine a thing. If we hated people for being cruel, for causing suffering, or for being very wick ed in any direction, our hatred would not be an altogether shameful thing, although even then It would be better to hate the sin and pity the sinner he often needs it more than those whom he sins against. But can you honestly say that any of these people whom you allow yourself fi liate are really wicked? No, you know they are not, nor anything like that. One is a rather small-minded person who once said something unkind about you, which came to your ears. The other name for that particular hate is simply desire for revenge. Another has certain irritating little personal characteristics which are offensive to you. and you say you hate him. But surely that doesn't give you reason to call him wicked. No, the othr name for that hate Is simply antagonism. And probably, at least two or three of those whom you say you hate or dislike are people who have offended you in no more sinful way than by being more clever or more popular, or more success ful in some direction than yourself. And the other name of that hate is the ugly little word envy. Would you say that a man or woman who was too big. and too busy to bother with any of these mean and childish feel ings "wastn't worth much?" It is sometimes said In extenuation nay, more, In praise of hating, that peo ple who have strong likes also have strong dislikes. This may be true of peo ple at a certain stage of development but the biggest people are those who put so much of their energy into loving and liv ing, that they haven't any time for hat ing. ADVERTISING TALKS BT WILLIAM C. FREEMAN It looks as though the presidential cam paign this year will be a warm one. We wonder if the national committees this year will use newspaper advertising to educate voters, or will they continue to arrange for parades, banners, braos bands, distribution of pictures, cart-tail speakers, fireworks and big mass meet ings? Republican speakers address Republican audiences: Democratic speakers address Democratic audiences. Usually there is great enthusiasm, especially if the speak ers be good spellbinders. But they don't make votes. Suppose the Republican national com mittee should advertise in the Democratic newspapers all over the country and the Democratic national committee should advertise in all the Republican newspapers throughout the country what would hap pen? If the advertising done should deal with facts, not personalities if it should be so plainly written that all could understand the points brought out if it dealt with Important questions and explained care fully their meaning wouldn't voters get a better Idea of what they were voting for than by the employment of all the other clap-trap methods usually resorted to by political managers? The newspapers will continue to print news of the campaign and editors will use their pens to express their own views, but if the advertising appears regularly and If it be good, sensible, appealing ad vertising it will be read as thoroughly as will be the news and editorials, and ll will be a great influence in helping voteis to decide which way they will vote. About the cost: Half a million dollars will buy 90 fuil columns in each of 60) Republican news papers one column every day from early in August up to election time one every dav for 90 days. Half a million dollars will do the same thing In 500 Democratic newspapers Wouldn't it "be a good thing for each na tional committee to set apart half a mil lion dollars for this purpose? Why not try it out? Each national committee should employ a staff of the best advertisement writers In the country real business men who know how to prepare facts In a pleasing, argumentative and convincing way. It would probably cost each committee $2.50.j a week to maintain a staff of this charac ter, but it would be worth the money. (To be continued.)

KANSAS COMMENT REIGN OF THE SILO. The day is past when cheap politics and visionary harangue can distract the attention of the Kansas farmer from the things of real importance on the farm. The tiller of the soil in Sunny Kansas the lin Ytam !mo ven this winter has come to know i. r that 'here are convenience w hich work for time a iving and labor saving in the year's round-up of asset. Jhese things they learn from expcrl f.nc a"d from recommendations of thrifty and reliable neighbors. Th.-v learn them also from the state agricul tural experiment schools which everv farmer in the utate having access to the reports watches with interest. And one of the things which the u"10 ar" vifHln "1th pride U tho r-i- s" rr"ans more to this part of Kansas than the steam plow docs to the western Kansas wheat farmer. It means a saving of many dollars each winter. It means conservation of stork feed and an easier and quicker time to feed it during the cold winter weather. I he farmer has learned the value of time in dollars and cents. The silo is being described and recommended in farmers institutes in every part of Kansas this week. With the opening of weather many more are to be built by neighbors of the men who put them In last fall and who have found them mighty handy things. The Kansas farmer is away ahead of many other states in the art of con serving resources on the farm. It isn't how many acres are planted and sown that makes the good result of a year's farming; it Is the yield and the man ner in which it is handled, and the kind and quality of grain and stock raised. The silo Is one of the things that t bringing the records of the Kansas farmers up to the top. Ottawa Herald. HARD ROADS. In his talk to the crowd at the drain age special Tuesday afternoon, J. H. Miller, head of the extension depart ment of the Kansas State Agricultural college and a virile and broad-minded man said: "Emporia should have hard roads extending out from the town In every direction. These should be mad.i of rock, or macadam, or some other substantial material, but thev should be hard and serviceable for all kinds of weather. It is the best Investment this town, or any other town can make Why, I know of towns in Kansas that have such roads leading into them where farmers haul into town In on wagon on the hard roads what they have brought in two wagons over ordi nary country roads to the Improved" part of the highway. Such roads mak for better business. They insure a trade center. And they mean much to the families of farmers. Why, I have talked to hundreds of young men who come to our college, asking them of their aversion to farm life, when such is apparent, and almost without excep tion, they tell me it is because of the isolation. They cannot get away from the farms, cannot get Into touch with the life of the world, the pleasant social life, as exemplified in the towns and cities. Why? Because of !.;id roads.

The government has taken hold of the matter, and the result Is that successful experiments have just been completed by th department or agricul ture for supplying the country with lem ons during the summer months, whn the demand Is heaviest and the supply has heretofore been lightest. The pro cess consists In forcing the coloring of the fruit. It has been discovered by ex perts of the pomologlcal bureau that by subjecting the green lemons to a heating process for an hour a day for thrne or four days the coloring process takes place and the fruit Is ready for market. A Washington dispatch states that lemon growers are now using the new process and the department experts think tha. there win be plenty of lemons for cool drinks next summer Manchester Union. o THE RIGHT SPIRIT. A man can do very little good who Is not controlled by the right spirit. He must be under the Influence of a kind and generous disposition. You cannot convince him by despising him. As soon as one gets mad and cantankerous it's all up wilh his mission. There Is no suen thing as indoctrinating a man with a noble faith by going after him with a sharp stick. Sometimes we e men who think they are good doing things In an evil spirit getting mad because their own opinions are crossed at some point. We don't know any truer test of a man's real char acter than this. The idea of a Christian man or woman trying to achieve some good end In a malign spirit why. In the nature of thlncs It Is impossible. Th prayer of the Psalmist should be In all men's henrts all the time: "Create In me a clean heart. O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

BOY WINS MOST PRIZES Dances Ererything Anyone Eyer Saw on Stage. Judges Shut Their Eyes and Hand Out Awards. Before a crowd that packed the Audi torium from the big pipe organ to the outer r jors, 40 men last night fought for the rough and tumble fiddling cham pionship of Kansas. None of the best antics of the grey haired veterans were spared in their effort to win the grand prizes; and when the show was over the Judges shut both eyes and awarded premiums In a high handed and in discriminate manner. I. II. Ewing, the Kansas City Veteran. From the start the big prizes belong ed to the men who fiddled for the neigh borhood dances of 60 years ago. It wasn't the classics which the crowd heard that brought turbulent applause. It was the manner in which the old timers took half Nelsons and stran gle holds on the music box and sawed off melody with their hands, feet, body and head. Mixed with the assortment of modern and ancient fiddling was a collection of dancing and singing num bers that kept the big crowd in good humor and brought out the talent of nearly 100 men, women and children who were registered in the contest. In the fiddling contest was I. H. Swing of Kansas City, Kan., grey haired and feet 2 inches tall. He fid dled in the Kaw valley when Kansas City was a trading post and last night he put all the old hre into his ngnt for the prizes. C. Hamilton and "Dad" Clay, local contestants, were popular with the crowd. It was Clay who play ed, danced and sang at the same time and showed the crowd what was real music on the plantations a half cen tury ago. Hamilton exhibited a disdain for modern art and he clung close to the rules laid down by his fathers in the days before melody was so largely a commercial art. Shaggy, grey haired. M. W. Wandell. of Rosedale, was an other of the old school and Wandell fought gamely for all "the prizes he carried home.

Royce, aged 84 years, "was the oldest Youngster Wins Most Prizes. It was a young man clad in overalls, a jumper and shoes that were broken at the toes, who bartered with the ve'. eran bow and string artists for spot light favors. J. B. Rentch, who told the Judges he came from Kansas City, Reutch In Action. fought off all opposition in the dancing specialties and carried home a new suit of clothes, a brand new pair of shoes, two boxes of cigars, a pound of bon bons and a real hand painted cake. Rentch discouraged opposition right from the start. He walked away with the clog dancing prizes and when the buck and wing reatures were an nounced, Rentch climbed onto the stage with a sheepish grin and scratched a head of uncombed hair as he waited for the music. For 15 minutes the mys terious stranger kept the crowd in an uproar. He exhibited all the steps that have been seen on the vaudeville stage for 15 years and was in a class without competition. No one called time on the stranger and he was the only person on the program who occu pied the stage more than three min utes without trouble. In a list of accordion, banjo, mando lin and guitar solos, the competition was light. Neither was the running close on vocal selections, but it was late and the crowd didn't care. Then began the work of City Com missioner E. B. Stotts and H. P. Mil ler and A. L. Shultz, the Judges. Each modestly admitted they could not dis tinguish between an octave and a screw driver, but they were elected to give away some 150 prizes and man aged to find someone for each package. Then came the awarding of the grand prizes. The judges saw two names on the list and promptly awarded them the piano and organ. By this time the crowd had started for home. Ther was no danger of a riot and the judgee quietly slipped through the back door One of the Buck and Wing Contestants and mads a run for the last car home. The piano went to C.

"I am firm in the belief "that Dr. Cook as well as Rear Admiral Peary reached the north pole. I have known Dr. Cook for seventeen, years. I have lived at his house, and I knew him as a physician. I went with him to the arctic regions and T. never knew him to be other than truthful and cour ageous. Believes Cook. Found Pole. "Undoubtedly, he is one of the most learned students of arctic history and geography in the. world. His library of arctic literature Is; the most com plete -I have over known It comprises volumes in all of the languages. "My- expedition with Dr. Cook," continued Drof. Dyche, "was entirely satisfactory, and the following year, in 1895, I went in command 'of an ex pedition sent by Maurice K. Jesup, to collect specimens. It was on this ex pedition that we picked up, Lieut. Peary and brought him-back. "I think Dr. Cook has been a much misunderstood man. "If he is a fraud, then I am greatly mistaken in my judgment of men., He is learned, ad venturous, courageous and patient. I do not think he had a fair chance. He had not landed from his polar expedi tion before it had been chargad. that his claim of discovering the' pole was fraudulent. Harassed by these in cessant charges, wth a. naturally sen sitive nature, and not a single., man or newspaper of influence to defend him, it was not surprising that he left the vconnfcry., ;-I think a study of his bpbli on- "tha discovery of the north pole will disclose to any unprejudiced persons that,' Dr. Cook surely was there.", Tributes to lr.

Hia retirement comes as a personal loss to almost the entire many million of people the popula tion of the United States." Senator Bristow declared "Dr. Wil ey's resignation is a very great loss to the people of the United States. He was like a rock against poisonous r.dulteration of food, and it is a sad commentary on American administra tion affairs when a man of his.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STTi; JOTTENAX MAfecH 19, 1912 7 HE CALLS IT "BUNK." J. E. House Has Poor Opinion of Po litical Advertising. "AH political advertising Is bunk," was the statement of J. E. House (Dodd Gaston) In speaking on "How the Poli ticians Advertise," before 50 members of the Topeka Ad club today. The "Mysterious Unknown," who was ad vertised by President N. B. Burge as the man who would handle the subject in question proved to be no other per son than the same Dodd Gaston. "When a man decides to run for office," continued the speaker, "he fixes up a line of conversational salve and proceeds to anoint the voters. The difference is that one class pays for the salve and the other has it delivered free at the house, express prepaid. I know a Kansas man now holding office who is a crook. Everybody who lias been intimately associated with him knows he is a crook. "His moral obliquities have been for years the talk of the town in which he lives. It has been said- of him that he has more lady friends than any other married man in Kansas. But the news papers printed so much hot air about him when he ran for office that the great mass of voters who contributed to his election believe him to be an honest man and a hero. "I could name off-hand a dozen other Kansas officials holding office by grace of your votes and mine who are men tally and morally unfit. They were pro jected into the offices they now hold by political advertising. "If you want a political office do not make the mistake of buying news paper space in which to say so. They don't do that any more in the best cir cles. The method is quite passe, so to speak. Instead get out and stir things up. Talk a good deal about the pee-pul and their rights. Refer in scathing terms to the 'interests.' "Sprinkle your conversation with remarks about corporate greed and characterize every man who happens to disagree with your political and economic notions as a machine poli tician or the tool of one. Be brave. Any man who merely wants an office f can be brave. If you talk loud enough and courageous enough some newspa per anxious to increase its power orj add to its prestige will take you up and give you all the advertiing you want. Other newspapers will fall in line and contribute their columns to your cause. You will speedily become famous as a servant of the people and will be able to get any office you want. Don't fool away your time running for sheriff at a considerable expense. Talk hie- and go to congress for nothing." The club voted to ask the park commissioner to una a name ior me fair grounds., so that in advertising lit erature the grounds may be spoken of as a park. "The board of directors of the fair have been planning -improvements along the line of making a park out of the grounds and a playground also." said Secretary H. L. Cook, who was present at the meeting. "We are contemplating putting in cement walks this season, and have appointed an oflicial landscape gardener to beautify- the grounds." A committee composed of E. W. Rankin, W. J. Rickenbacher and Otto Barth was appointed by President N. B. Burge to plan a course of study for the club members to adopt for the en suing year.

Reports which came last week to some of the bankers of New York and which, as a whole, fairly well reflected conditions in the United States, seem to be more encouraging than at any time since the late winter and early spring of 1907. They are regarded as more substan tial than the reports which were re ceived in the spring of 1909. These seemed to show a too rapid recovery from the business depression and panic conditions that prevailed in the latter part of 1908 and the first month or two of the winter of 1909. That this recovery of 1909 was too rapid and far from healthful was demon- trated in the fall of that year by the collapse of the securities market and the relapse cf business into a condition from which it has not yet fully recovered. One of the reports received in tnis city in the past week came from that part of the west which is beyond the Missouri vallev. It told of the con templated purpose of the railway com panies now operating throughout tnat vast region to make immediate ar rangements to secure, if possible, money enough to enable them greatly to improve their roadbeds- and their equipment. One of the reports cur rent in that part of the west is that the ae.sreeate amount these railroad companies hone to raise and to pend in this manner within the next two years is eight hundred million dollars. This purpose has been quickened somewhat, by the promise of great success for the Panama-Pacific expo sition of 1915 at San Francisco. That promise explains in great measure the recent understanding entered into De tween the Chicago Northwestern and also the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railroad companies with the Union Pacific, whereby new. unbroken and fast trains will soon be operated between Chicago and the Pacific coast. Another of the reports brought to this city states that the railway mana gers of the far west believe that some of the timidity of capital will have been so overcome that a considerable portion of the needed money will be secured this year, swirt ana very great development of the remoter west, especially the southwest and the states of California and Oregon, has been one of the most gratifying of re is i 7?- i LUK HAS A PLAT Chinese Bandit Will Shell For eign Quarter at Canton In Order to Bring About Inter vention by Powers.

Its folly to suffer with coughs, colds or other throat and lung troubles now. Take the cure that's safest. Price 60 cents and Sl.00. Trial bottle free at Campbell Drug Co. Benjamin T. Welch, residing at 432 Taylor street, this city, makes the fol lowing statement in connection with Tona vita, tne new tonic tnat is now being introduced in Topeka. Mr. Welch said: "I have been greatly troubled with indigestion for the past six months and was getting worse daily. The food that I ate generally caused nausea, and frequently had headaches. My work became a burden and I would otten De compelled to sit down and rest. Life became an unbroken period of misery and I often felt I would be better otf dead. "I had about given up hope of ever recovering my health, but after read ing of the wonderful results the "Tona Vita' treatment accomptisnea in so many cases, I concluded the same would undoubtedly prove beneficial in my trouble. I at once decided to give 'Tona Vita' a trial and the effect was instantaneous. I began improving from the start and now feel thoroughly bene fited in every respect. In fact I feel like a new man, and I heartily recom mend it as a tonic of wonderful value." The specialists who are introducing 'Tona Vita' in Topeka, say that there is nothing unusual about Mr. Welch's case. "Why we are receiving hundreds of such testimonials from Topeka peo ple who have been benefited by our tonic," said one of these specialists. "The chief value of 'Tona Vita,' con tinued he. "lies in the fact that it is quick to respond to the needs of a bad ly debilitated body. It acts like a true specific in a remarkable short length of time. "A tired, dragging feeling of the body, a sluggish mind and dull memory, depression of spirits. Intense nervous ness, palpitation of the heart, weak back, cold feet, bowel trouble, consti pation, and headaches are among the many symptoms of a condition from which hundreds here in Topeka suf fer. This condition is more common in the large cities, where the peoplo are more apt to disregard the laws of nature. "Most of the so-called kidney trou ble, nearly all indigestion and fully half of the headaches in Topeka can be attributed solely to nervous de bility. 'Tona .Vita' will positively remove this condition toning one's nerves and giving new blood and new life." The specialists who have charge of the demonstration In Topeka can bq seen any day this week between th hours of 9 a. m. and 8 p. m., at the Arnold Drug company's store; 523 Kan sas avenue, where they are explaining the nature of the all-too-common ail ment, debility and demonstrating the merits of their wonderful tenia. cent business symptoms. It seems al most as if that prosperity to some ex tent is occasioning the revival of bus! ness activity which is observed in the midwest and which begins to be ob served in the east. The Promise of 1912. Unless some now unforeseen emer gency should arise, and unless the po litical activities of this presidential year should prove demoralizing to business, it is now felt that the prom ise of American business in the year 1912 is very good, although it is not expected that the burst of prosperity which everybody feels awaits us will come until after the inauguration of a nrpti li i ri i a vo:t r frnm tViia mnnth 1 Tt enn Ytpi ormfiripTitlv sairl that the I recent upward movement in the se curities market does not represent ex clusively manipulation. The advance has been too general and some fea tures of it seem to be in accord with the precedents established .in times when a general upward movement of securities prices began. A part of the impulse which is leading to renewed business activity is undoubtedly due to the certainty that the Panama canal will be completed and open for operation while the next presidential administration is still young. In many parts of the west and south business men seem to be not at all or at least very sli :htly interested in politics, but instead are greatly oc cupied with public works, particularly those which have the development of state or national resources in view. Not the least important of these works is the comprehensive' purpose of busi ness men of the west completely to reclaim the wet lands of the Missis sippi valley. This work is in sympa thy with and supplementary to the vast national irrigation work by means of which much of the arid land of the west will be made available to profit able agriculture. The wet lands are to 1 be drained. The arid lands are al-1 ready irrigated, or the works are in course of construction which will com plete that reclamation. The people of the north and east do not realize the magnitude of the areas of the reclaimable wet lands in the Mississippi valley. There are millions and millions of acres, of lands now submerged which require only skillful engineering endeavor to convert the Mississippi valley into an agricultural field as fertile and extensive almost as that of the irrigated valley of the Nile. Railway men of the west are taking very great interest in this subject. One of the vice presidents of the Illinois Central railroad, Mr. W. L. Park, in a statement recently made by him for publication in the Manufacturers- Rec ord of Baltimore, shows himself to he an enthusiastic and yet thoroughly businesslike advocate of the recapture of these wet landrj so that they may be made available to agriculture. It is thought here to be highly appro priate that the Illinois Central railroad company should, through its executive officers, take the lead in the agitation for the reclamation of the wet lands of the Mississippi valley, and to a great extent by the aid of the federal gov ernment. For it was due to the gen erosity of the federal government in great measure that it was possible to build this first of the great north and south trunk lines in the United States. The history of the Illinois Central is in considerable measure the history of the opening of virgin lands to agricul ture. And its managers years ago foresaw that while its northern ter minal was at Chicago it3 true strategic southern terminal would be at New Orleans. Vice President Park believes that if those Mississippi valley wet lands are to be reclaimed that work must he done by the federal government. He does not base that opinion exclusively upon the cost of the work. The state of Louisiana is now showing that state which possesses thousands of acrea of wet lands is willing and able to reclaim them, and the work of reclamation now in progress in Louis iana is not surpassed in importance by any public work done in other states. But to reclaim all of the lands which are soaked by the Mississippi and its tributaries involves almost as stupendous engineering work as did the construction of the Panama ca nal although, of -course, of a very different nature. The P nama canal triumph demonstrates that the federal government has engineers who are capable of meeting and solving many problems, no matter how original or vast. Properly to reclaim the Missis sippi wet lands there must be uni fied work, centralized direction and perfect harmony of plans along the whole distance or the Mississippi vat ley, An Incidental Point. :y Vice President Parks points but in cidentally a special advantage which the government will have after' the Panama canal is completed. For the government will be in possession of a large amount of machinery ana ap paratua of the kind necessary for wet land reclamation. With this machin ery and apparatus available, the re clamation could be completed in a much shorter time than would be tjos sible if new machinery and apparatus were to be constructed and, of course there would be a great saving in expense. One of the economic considerations which will justify this reclamation work if undertaken by the government is the fact that these lands, when made available for agriculture, will serve greatly to increase the food sup Ply of the United States. Already the mn, who are ramuiar with this subject are say nag tnat in the course of a few years; with re- Ielamation of wet lands not only along the lower Mississippi valley, but also in thon states which border the gulf, particularly Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, the United States will have a sufficient amount of land suitable for the cultivation of sugar cane to make it unnecessary to import any raw sugar, especially if the cultivation of sugar beet continues on the scale which hag characterized it in recent years. In mid-April there is to be held at New Orleans a meeting of the na tional drainage congress. It is the impression of members of that con gress that in its sessions a comprehen sive and thoroughly- adequate plan for the reclamation of the wet lands of the Mississippi valley will be decided upon. There will be in attendance at this congress several engineers of high reputation and a large number of ear nest and very active business men. And it will be one of the purposes of the congress so to perfect its plan as to make it certain -that no speculative advantage may be obtained by irre sponsible men. especially those of the kind which has served recently to throw suspicion upon some of the re clamation work which is being done in the Everglades region of Florida. HOLLAND. Hong Kong, March 19. A' flotilla of Chinese gunboats opened fire on the Bogue forts at Canton today. The forts have been in the hands of the followers of Luk, the brigand chief, for a week past since the soldiers mutinied and handed them over to the robbers The robbers replied vigorously to the bombardment of the gunboats. Luk yesterday declared that if his follow ers, whom he calls the p eople's army, failed to gain victory over the gov ernment they would shell the foreign quarter, in order to bring about foreign intervention. The forts -at Tuchu. Whampoa and Fu Mun, on the Canton river, recent ly captured by the bandit soldiers were retaken today by the government troops after a long cannonade. The bandits suffered severe losses. The government authorities bought up all the bread and canned meat in the stores in the city in order to starve the bandits into submission.

Diirinar the fighting here Saturday and Sun day shots fell on Kotchow island, where the Europeans reside. None was injured but there was considerable excitement and the Japanese landed a detachment of troops. One of the Japanese soldier's rifle went off acci dentally, which so alarmed the disor derly Chinese that they at once scat tered. The casualties among the local soldiers and the Cantonese troops ex ceeded 100. General Ling now is in control of the city. The remainder of the local troops have retreated to the north, whither they were being pur sued by the Cantonese soldiery. Conflict of Authority. Canton, March 19. A conflict of opinion has arisen between Leo Al len Bergholz, American consul general here, and the British consul general on the question of international ac tion. The senior naval officer of the United States gunboat Wilmington is in command of the foreign naval forces, while a British officer holds the foreign settlement of Shah Meen with a force consisting of four-fifths British and one-fifth French troops. The situation has become so serious that a telegram has been sent to Hong jts.ong asKing ior aavice and in re sponse Commodore Cresswell J. Eyres, the British naval officer in charge at tong js.ong, is on nis way there. KILLED AT CROSSING. Five Men in Surrey Hit by a Passen- get. Train. Ellettsville, Ind.. March 19. Five men in a surrey were killed outright oy a passenger train on the Chicago. Indianapolis and Louisville railroad at a crossing near here early today. They had spent last evening at a theater at Bloonungton and were driving to Spencer where they were employed as gas blowers. Among those killed was Kmmett Williams of Kansas City, Mo. The engine struck the surrey square ly and splintered it. Four of the men were thrown clear of the track, but tne Doay or one was caught by the pil ot or tne locomotive ana carried a mile and a half to this city. Trainmen went back to the crossing and found the torn bodies. The two horses hitched to the vehicle were not hurt. W. J. BRYAN IS 52.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL MARCH 19, 1912 0 TOWN TOO SMALL L. S. Smith Says Large Busi ness Wouldn't Do Here. Sot Freight Kates That Cause Failure. FREIGHT RATES CUT A FIGURE Win. Todd Says His Business Has Been Limited. Missouri River Wholesalers Are Testifying. Leon S. Smith, president of a Kan sas City wholesale mercantile house;, today testified before the representa tive of the Interstate commerce com mission that the Wichita wholesale and jobbing houses were more pros perous than those at the mouth of the Kaw and believed that freight rates for Kansas dealers were well regulated. Appearing as a witness for the Kansas City interveners in the freight rate hearing. Smith was this morning called to the stand. He admitted that freight rates were a big factor in the prosperity of wholesalers and jobbers. He also admitted that his firm did an extensive business in the local terri tory of Kansas shippers, but that the freight rates were just and equitaDie. Smith also related that in certain territories profits were absorbed in freight rates. He then told Examiner lUackley that the Wichita vholesalers were paying largrer dividends! than the Kansas City firms. This fact, he said, was due to the limited capital in operation and the ability to handle the trade in their respective terri tories. Smith was certain that a shaking up of the freight rates would not ma terially benefit the Kansas towns ask ing relief. He said a million dollar in stitution would not prosper in a town the size of Wichita or Topeka. This would be due. Smith testified, to the fact that the territory would not war rant the investment of such extensive capital, hence the location of the larger wholesalers in Kansas City. Following the testimony of Smith, which consumed the greater portion of the morning,- William Todd, a Leaven worth wholesale grocer was called. He appeared for the interveners in his town in behalf of the present rates. To the examiner. Todd said that S9 per cent of his firm's business was in Kansas. He said that the regulation of freight rates in recent years had limited the firm's territory to a radius of 150 miles, when they formerly sold to the four corners of Kansas. Todd denied that his house competed in the local territory of Emporia, Wichita, Hutch inson or Pittsburg. The leaving of this territory, the witness said, was due to present freight rates. He admitted that the firm shipped goods west to Emporia nnd competed in the local territory of Topeka. Lawrence and other towns. "Rates are a great factor in the business of any wholesale or jobbin house.'' Todd testified, "and their regu lation means the life or death of any business. These rates will determine tne Dusiness ot tne jobber in To per cent of cases, and are only overcome where the dealer is handling oeeials." A number of witnesses will used this afternoon by representatives from Kansas City. St. Joseph, Leavenworth, nnd Atchison, who are intervening in behalf of the defendant railroads to keep in force the old established freight rates. Beginning tomorrow morning, the railroads will introduce several wit nesses in an effort to show that the rates to Kansas points by Kansas man facturers are not excessive. ed in a deadlock, ators today. No election of sen THEY DECIDE TO FIGHT Night in Jail Causes Xcw Mexican Legislator to Grow Defiant. Santa Fe, March 19. The trap set oy tne Kepuoncan state central com mittee last nignt in which four mem bers of the house, Joseph P. Lucero and Julian C. Truebillo of Rio Araba county and Manuel Cordova and Luis R. Montoya of Taos county, were ar rested, charged with accepting bribes to vote for certain senators today, was declared by the accused men to have been set by themselves to catch the "higher-ups." After a night in jail the accused men assumed a defiant attitude to day. Their resignations prepared last night were presented to the house by State Chairman v. Jarmillo. A com munication from the prisoners was presented to the house, asserting that their resignations Jiaa ueen secured through coercion, that they would withdraw them and demand a thor ough investigation. Subsequently the house adopted a resolution authoriz ing the appointment of a' committee of fifteen to investigate the alleged bribery charges. District Attorney Read and his as sistant, E. P. Davies, today began col lecting evidence for informations, which they planned to file against the four men late today. As the hour for the senatorial bal lot approached the feeling in house tcresv more bitter. A resolution to ap point former Supreme Judge E. R. AVright counsel for the bribery investi gation committee adopted 26 to 12. An other resolution to remand the accus ed members to the custody of the ser-geant-at-arms. was offered and led to a verbal clash between Speaker Baca and Ropresetnative Toombs, because the speaker ordered the sergeant-at-arms to bring in all absent members before taking action on the resolution which was adopted unanimously and the four accused members were sus pended. Although the Democrats have less than one-third of the votes in the leg islature the two Democrat candidates led in today's balloting, the Republi cans casting complimentary votes for favorite sons. The ballot follows: Democrats iTelix Martinez 23; A. A. Jones 22. Republicans William J. Mills 21; A. B. Fall IT; W. H. Andrews 12; T. B. Catron 11; R. L. Baca 6; O. A. Lar razolo 6; W. D. Murray 4. Two votes each went to Venceslao Haramillo anil Nathan Jaffa; L. Bradford Prince, Pow ell stackhouse, Nemico Apodaca, Jose D. Sena, Solomon Luna, Samuel Bush man. Gregory Page, and Thomas D.. Burns each got one vote; Herbert J. Hagerman, progressive, four; George W. Pritchard, progressive, two. K. KS HOLD RALLY. Making Ready for Their Big Minstrel Show. One hundred men attended the Karnival Knights smoker held Mon day night in the parlors of the Com mercial club, the entertainment fea tures of which were the fascinating readings by E. W. Thompson in the French-Canadian dialect. Although Joe Bren of Kansas City, the director of the minstrel show which the men of the K. K. K. will present in the Auditorium April 18 and 19, telephoned the last minute that he would not be able to attend the meeting as contemplated, two let ters were read from him which had been received by President C. B. Burge and which told of his plans relative to the performance. The name suggested for the show was "The Karnival Knights Mammoth Minstrel Extravaganza." and this seemed to make a "hit" with the fel lows present. Short talks were made by Charles Mitchell and Albert Marshall, and a large number of new names were add ed to the list of club members. W. O. Rigby was given full charge of the ticket selling. "I am going to make this the great est show of its kind ever put on in your city," said Joe Bren in the latest letter received by Mr. Burge. "It will be elaborate in every detail and noth ing will be overlooked. When I tell you the show is going to be the great est ever given in Topeka, I mean it, and every word, of it. "In regard to the following items I note what you say, and will advise you in due time in regard to the same, viz: Mutt and Jeff, stage set ting, and specialties. Any suggestions you have, fire them In. I will keep in close touch with you right along, and am with you forty ways to make this one glorious success. Already the Karnival Knights have begun to plan for the big karnival parade next fall, the expenses of which will be defrayed b- the money taken in while the minstrel is In progress.

GO-Gent Package Free Thin people suffer a good deal of embar rassment and ridicule. As people poke fun at a bony horse, so are bony people the target for many humiliating "flings." Anxious and worried because of the reports of her husband's sickness, Mrs. Ward D. Speelman came to Topeka from Wakefield, Wednesday afternoon and spent four hours with the bank teller in his ward in Christ's hospital. She returned home on a late nignt train. Dressed in black and wearing a veil, Mrs. Speelman came to Topeka short ly after 3 o'clock. She was taken at once to the hospital and spent the re mainder of the afternoon with her husband. As she left the hospital short ly before dark, there were evidences of recent tears in the woman's eyes. She was visibly nervous and hurried t" a car line. The wife of the defaulting bank teller refused to mention matters discussed in her visit with Speelman. or to talk of their plans for the fu ture. "I haven't anything to say to the newspapers," declared the young wo man. "It's perfectly awful the things they have said. Too much has been printed already and I hope you cax. leave us alone." Then Mrs. Speelman boarded a car. Later in the evening she returned to Wakefield, where she is staying witi her parents. Dr. and Mrs. Pearson. It was the first time Mrs. Speelman has t-iKit-oil hpr hiisvhaTid in nearlv two months. Following her visit the week after Speelman's arrest, the woman arranged some business matters and returned to western Kansas. Speelman will probably remain in the hospital until the day of his sentence. Since his removal to the hospital, Speelman is showing signs of improve ment. He seemed more cheerful last night after the visit with his wife. LOOKING FOR JOBS. Two Hundred and Fifty Boys Who Want Another CJiance. Before After Protone Will Blak Ton Nice and Plamp.

Riley, an official of the state reformatory school at Hutchin son, has some two hundred and fifty boys for whom he is looking for jobs in the country and in small towns. Any farmer or merchant or editor or manufacturer who wants to give a boy a second chance to make good can get a boy by notifying Mr. Riley. It don't sound very good to offer a boy from the reform school for a po sition that requires steadiness and skill, but it is not as bad as it appears. They teach these boys trades at Hutchinson. They teach them to be patient and quiet and industrious and cleanly. Most of the boys at the in stitution are not vicious. They just went wrong for any one of a dozen causes that may beset any ordinary boy. Lots of them are hoping and praying for just one more chance. Mr. Riley keeps close tab on the boys. He points with pride to the record of making good that so many of them have achieved. He gives each boy a character when he gets him a Job and his estimate is based on actual facts gained from close observance of that boy for one or more years. He is responsible for the boys' future con duct and he is careful in placing his bovs. .Most of these boys tell Mr. Riley they would" ratner work in the country where they have less temptations. Thev want to work and keep busy and make up for lost opportunities. Mr. Riley was in Topeka conferring with Governor Stubbs about his work. The governor was deeply interested in Rilev's efforts to care for the boys after they leave the school and heard with pleasure the stories about how no many of them have made good af ter leaving the school. 4c Per Pound for Rags.

(Written at the request of the Rev. Robert Gordon. Read John XIX today.) The cross of Christ reveals at once God's love and man's character. Note how men and women declare and clas sif y themselves. The Roman soldiers joining with thoughtless, malicious mockery in the Jewish contempt for this unkingly king type of the indif ferent, ready to join a laugh or a wail readier for the laugh. Pilate, knowing his duty, but, entangled In his fears and hopes, daring not to do it; spiteful against those who thus force him to stultify his conscience and his man hood; bearing unwitting testimony to the sinlessness, kingship, universality of Christ. The Jewish leaders, refusing to see the moral beauty so clear to Pi late, rejecting repeated opportunities for consideration and mercy, pressing relentlessly on with their murderous "Crucify! CrucifyJ" Roman soldiers again, to whom tne cro.s is only a gainful incident' of their professional life, typifying whom? The disciples and the women, whose love has com pletely recovered from the awful first shock, and is with him at th bitterest hour. The hostility, murderous to the death, and beyond, which would break the bones of the Son of Man. The soldiers once more, professionally stolid, exact, or indolent, who will not fulfil the Jews' desire, but pierce the side in stead. Here also, thank God, is a once secret devotion which the shock of dis aster and disgrace brings out into open confession and service, in Nicodemus and Joseph. But most of all is revealed the Son of Man, beaten, mocked, but manifesting a dignity supreme; played with by human vacillation and hate, but ever master of the situation; cruci fied, satirized; ever mindful of hl3 own, sharing to the dregs our human an guish, supremely triumphant, supreme ly submissive, watched over by God's Providence, cared for by man's devo tion, in the tomb, but unholden by it.

Beauty Seekers Praise Canthrox "Since soap and many prepared shampoos have been found injurious to the hair," writes Mrs. Mae Martyn in the Boston News, "beauty seekers who are interested in having beautiful, abundant hair are taking rapidly to the use of a teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot water for shampooing. "No other shampoo seems to be so good, as the cleansing lather which canthrox makes removes dirt, dan druff and stops scalp Irritation im mediately, while it adds a luster and soft rlufiness to the hair. It will not cause fading, brittleness, streaking or dullness, but produces only beneficial and most pleasing results. This sim ple shampoo will prove a great boon, especially to the woman who does her own shampooing. It is also becoming decidedly popular with hair dressers."

C. Robb, editor of the Guar dian, Ottawa, was a guest at the meet- r at the Presbyterian church unurs- day night, and made an address. A fashion note from New Tork as follows, is the latest alarm in the way of new styles. The startling predictions about what women will wear never seem to come true, at least in this part of the world, but the wise ones say it is to be thus: 'The Paris dressmakers' most start ling contribution to milady's wardrobe this year is to be a new skirt, very nar row, with a slit at the side extending well above the knee. A trade announce ment says, that if the directoire stock ing, made with silken network with very large meshes, is to be worn with the dress as it is said, the effect will be striking."

Printing the engagement announce ments of local girls to out of town men is so often strenuously objected to by the girls, and their reason has been discovered; for it is an arrangement that works better for the men than for the girls. For example, a Topeka girl has persistently denied that she is engaged to an out of town man, even when everybody in town knows it ex cept one man. This one man who appears not to know that he is tres passing in the camp of a rival, is mad about the girl and believes that she shares the craze. Now in case the real situation became known,' the giri's quota of lovers would be cut down to one, the absentee's interests would be conserved, and the other man would yield his case as hopeless. It would ease the boys along but it would make times dull for the woman.
