L1ILLI0NJ YEAR What Proposed Rate Redaction Would Cost the Roads. S. H. Johnson of the Rock Island on Stand. SAYS CHARGES ARE TOO LOW Believes Some of the Rates Should Be Increased. Lively Time Over Manufactur ers' Handicap in Kansas. If the proposed new Kansas freight rates were put in operation, the change would cost western railroads a million dollars a year, according to S. H. Johnson, assistant freight traf fic manager of the Rock Island, who epent the entire day on the witness stand. As this amount would be less than one per cent of the gross earn ings, attorneys for the utilities com mission contended that on Johnson s own figures the reduction would not be excessive. Johnson was the last witness calletf by the railroads in defense of the pres ent schedules and rates in operation west of the Missouri river. He con tended when questioned by Examin er Mackley, that many of the present rates in Kansas are really too low, while others are not excessive. "If this reduction was put in oper ation," declared Johnson, "it would mean a loss of $1,000,000 a year in revenues to railroads operating west of the Mississippi and participating in the Kansas business." It was admitted by Johnson that the traffic rates on finished products ex ceed those on the raw materials and that the present rates are such that the Kansas shipper pays more tor the shipment of raw materials to Missouri river points than from the east to Kansas. Attorneys for the utilities commission then contended with Johnson that the rates are now so ad justed that it is impossible for Kan sas towns to engage in a general manufacturing business. This the lawyers endeavored to force from Johnson is due to the fact that Kan sas produces the raw materials which are shipped to the eastern manufac turer and the Kansas towns pay a heavier freight rate on the return of the finished product to the borders of the state. Johnson dodged many of these issues and epent the entire morning under a fire of cross exam ination. x Testimony in the case will be con cluded shortly after 4 o'clock this af ternoon. Johnson is the last witness to be called and will spend the great-r er part of the afternoon reviewing portions of his direct testimony. In an announcement made today by Examiner Mackley, oral, arguments and briefs will be presented at a second adjourned session of the case. This second session will be held in Topeka eometime in May. Then the matter will be taken under advisement. It is not believed that a final de cision in the ease will be given until October or November. Attorneys do not believe that a decision will b ready before the adjournment July I for the summer months. No sessions will then be held until October and a final disposition of the rates is not expected before that time. Mr. Koontz's Testimony. In concluding his testimony before Examiner Mackley, of the interstate commerce commission yesterday after noon, J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Atchison. Topeka Santa (Continued on Page Two.) FOUR STILL AT LARGE. No Further Arrests or Members of the Allen Ganj. Hillsville, March 2 3. Xo further captures had been reported early today by the posses endeavoring to round up the Allen fugitives. The arrest of Sid na Edwards yesterday left four of the wanted men at large Sidna Allen, the clan leader, who is supposed to have fired the shot that killed Judge Massie. and his nephews. Wesley Edwards and Friel and Claude Allen. The massing of the hundred or more searchers about the hills south of this place indicates that the officers bo lieve the outlaws are still secreted in that vicinity. Sidna Edwards insisl. that, he has not seen his uncle or cousins since the day of the court house tragedy. He says he had no part in the shooting; that he went to the court house and later took to the mountains only because he heard the posses intended to shoot on sight any member of his family. Worn by hunger, fatigue and the THREE RING LEADERS IN IRD riLTOAM H C 5TICK.LAND G v CK- pain of a scalded, foot, Edward slept last night in the Jail here with twc men standing guard. He will be taken to Roanoke today. There is much talk of the reported offer of Sidiia Allen and his nephews to surrender on condition they be al lowed to plead guilty to murder in the second degree in a court outside of Car roll county. Governor Mann says if such a proposition has been made t detectives he knows nothing of it. STUBBS IS ACTIVE. Says He Is Satisfied People. Want Fri- Besides the 100 insurgent leaders who came to Topeka Thursday to the Roosevelt State club conference. Gov ernor Stubbs has talked over the tele phone and telegraph wires to 200 hundred other local labor leaders. The governor said today that about 100 Roosevelt clubs had either been or ganized or were in process of organi zation in the counties. A Roosevelt club was organized last night at Kins ley with 400 members. "Al the word I have had from over the state," said the governor today, "is to the effect that people want pri maries by which they may express a choice for the presidential nominee. "I believe that a caucus to select delegates is purely and simply a means of robbing the people of their chance of expression for or against a party candidate. That's all there is to a caucus. The nomination of delegates in a caucus are made before the people get there and the whol thing Is dcided by two or three men generally before the majority of the citizens of the ward or precinct arrive. "Primary elections to select dele gates to the state convention have been called in the Fourth and Eighth congressional districts. I have heard from the people of the Fifth and Sixth districts. They want primary elections in these districts. To my certain knowledge a bunch of tele grams have been sent by the people of these districts to their congress men, Rees and Toung, asking them where they stand on this question. The people are entitled to an answer from these two men. They were both electd on progrssive platforms. They can dictate to their congressional dis tricts. They have not yet taken a ?tand on this most Important of all the issues at this stage in the 1912 campaign." SNOW FAR REACHING, General Over the State of Kansas, Say Railroads. Officials of the Santa Fe, Rock Isl and and Union Pacific in Topeka re port a general snow all over their lines in Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and down into the Panhandle country in Oklahoma. In southeastern Kansas the snow varies from two to four inches. In northeastern and north centra.1 Kan sas it is snowing with a depth of five inches reached this afternoon. In the western and southwestern parts of the state the snow averages five inches still coming down. In all sections of the country the snow is falling without any disturb ance of tha wind and as a result the railroads are having no trouble get ting their trains through the cuts. If the wind starts blowing before night the roads feel that nothing can keep the cuts open. The railroad men are praying for a quiet snow. BOY LOST ON TRAIN. Farmer Seeks Son But Finds No Trace of Him. Newton, Kan., March 23. A 16-year-old boy, son of E. C. Budlong, a retired farmer of Concordia, disappeared Wed nesday night from a Santa Fe train somewhere between Wichita and Strong City. The father is seeking him. The family had been in Wichita and lef Wednesday night for Concordia. They got off at Strong City, but the boy who had taken a seat in the rear of the car, didn't get off. Telegrams to towns all along the road and to the men on the train have failed to find him. FLOOD WARNING OUT. Kansas and Missouri Rivers to Be Bankful Soon. Kansas City, Mo., March 23. A flood warning for northwestern Mis souri, northeastern Kansas and south eastern Nebraska was issued by the lo cal weather bureau. Sudden thaws, the warning says, would cause the Mis souri and Kaw rivers to run bankful. All the smaller streams in the terri tory named have been near the flood mark for several days as the result of the melting of the snows of the past several weeks. HILLSVILLE SHOOTING VICTOR ALLLN LEAVES ITS BANKS Bad Floods Expected Along Mississippi This Week. Water, Already Pouring Over Levee River Rising. St. Louis, March 23. With the Mis sissippi river deluging the lowlands below Cairo. 111., and the water above the flood stage at that city, comes the prediction the river will be over the levee railroad tracks here by Mondaj. Rivermen are taking every precau tion to provide against flood conditions which they expect will prevail along the water front within a week. The river passed the 23-foot mark late last night and was still rising rapidly this morning. A large force of laborers started moving contents of levee ware houses shortly after daybreak. The weather bureau predicted the river would reach 28 feet by Monday At that height, the tide will be far over the levees at some points. This condition is in such marked contrast with the exceptionally low stage of the river, which has prevailed all winter, that the difficulties of keeping river craft and levee front property safe i.i tremendous. People Leave Homes. Grave concern is felt in the Tri Cities in Iillinois. A contractor mak ing an outlet for the Granite city sew er through the East side levee, ex pressed fear this morning that the in creasing water flow may Jeopardize the work and necessitate the tearing down of the work to permit the closing of the gap in the levee. With the river rising an inch an hour, the residents of McPike island near Alton, 111., packed their goods on the remaining dry land last night and moved into Alton. Large trees floating down the river bear witness of ravages of the water at points above here. Rising at the rate of two feet ev ery 24 hours, the Ohio river was stand ing at between 46 and 47 feet at Cairo, 111., this morning with a stage of more than 4S feet predicted. The lowlands outside the drainage district are flooded and farmers living in these sections have moved tO'high ground. There is no lmmeaiaie aanger flood on the Cairo side of the river ai.d 1 no great damage has been done where the river has overflowed its banks. The Kentucky side is under water for a distance of half a mile. The last flood here was in 1909 wher. the first floor of levee buildings were swamped. The highest mark reached at St. Louis was during the flood o? 1844 when the water reached 44 feet. BODY NOT FOUND, Still Hunting Remains of Man Drowned Tuesday AfternotHj. Somewhere under the icy water is the body of John Metty, engineer on the sand boat of the South West Sand Co., who was drowned in the Kaw Tuesday afternoon. Since then every effort has been made to find the body but without success. The rising wat ers have hindered the search. How ever, the attempt has not been given up and it is thought that the body may possibly be found when the riv er falls. A. V. Jessup who was on the boat at the time of the accident said that the man made no outcry when he fell and from this if is thoueht that he might have been seized wih an attack i of heart failure- THE NEVER HOLIES tCopyrlght, DARK WEEK END British Strike Situation Grows Worse and Worse. Large Part of the Population Is Near Starvation. London, March 23. England is spend ing one of the' gloomiest weekends in her history. In every town, village and hamlet throughout the country where skilled vorkmen usually are engaged in the great industries, unemployment is on the increase and the families of the workers who have been rendered idle by the strike of a million coal miners are in many cases facing star vation. Residents of the cities who usually spend Saturday afternoon and Sunday in the country are unable to leave town, as the railways pleading a shortage of coal, have cancelled trains by the hundreds. The railroads also have decided not to run special race trains for the opening of the flat racing season next week. The cotton mills at Nelson, Bolton and other centers in Lancashire are closing rapidly while most o. the fac tories in Leeds have either stopped en tirely or are running on half-time. Foundries everywhere have drawn their fires and this week-end a large number of factories and work shops in the south counties of England which heretofore have r.ot beei. affected have paid off their men. The navy, too is beginning to feel the effects of the strike. Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, in answer to a question in the house of commons an nounced the strike unquestionably would retard the progress of the work on new ships being built for the navy and on the naval bases under con struction. Boats Remain in Harbor. The steam trawlers at Hull, like those of Grimsby and other fishing por's, remain in harbor and their skippers i are distributing their stores among the hungry women and children whose j husbands and fathers are no longer able to provide them with food. J Throughout the country well to-dc women are taking charge of relief work. In northern Nottinghamshire the Duchess of Portland has under taken the work in the districts whe. e i the duke is the principal owner of the mineral rights. She motors an companied by her daughter from cot- j tage to cottage, leaving supplies for 1 the impoverished families. In Haniey. one of the most prosperous towns of the country 4,000 families representing one-third of the population, are re ceiving assistance from public funds All this unemployment means a tre mendous drain on the funds of the trades unions. Thus far the minors alone have received $2,900,000 in strike pay and today it is estimated that $600,000 was paid out as out of work benefit by other unions. The secretary of one of the largest unions said to day that their treasuries would be drained to the last penny before the trouble was over, a condition of af fairs which is causing much resent ment against the leaders of the min ers, who are accused of stubbornness. VICTORY TO REBELS. Six Hundred Killed in the Battle at Asuncion. Buenos Ayres, March 23. Six hun- dred were killed in the battle at Asun cion wnicn resulted in a complete vie- j tory for the revolutionary forces over the Paraguayan government troops.

Quotes Alleged Message of Col onel Sent by Gardner. Washington, March 23. That Theo dore Roosevelt's messages to Senator LaFollette were such as to convince the latter he would have Roosevelt's support is the substance of a letter by Walter L. Houser to Wilson Gard ner, given out at LaFollette headquar ters today as an answer to corres pondence made public by Gifford Pin chot. "The message you say you brought from Col. Roosevelt to Senator LaFol lette can be construed in no other way than as an inducement to Senator La Follette to become a candidate. You say 'he' (Roosevelt) said he would in the columns of The Outlook or other wise, do what he cculd to direct at tention to the work accomplished by Senator LaFollette in Wisconsin. if he had said no more that would jus tify what I have said that the mes sage brought by you to LaFollette from Roosevelt encouraged LaFollette to be come a candidate. "But you said more than this. You said that Roosevelt declared 'that he could not be a candidate; that h:s place in history was made; that ht could not afford to take defeat and that whoever made the fight was cer tain to be defeated for nomination or for election if nominated; that this was the Democratic year; that LaFol lette would not -be injured by a de feat; that there should be a candi date representing the progressive movement; that LaFollette was the logical man and that if he decided to make the fight he should announce his candidacy at once.' "That Roosevelt encouraged LaFol lette to become a candidate you can not deny." "Then 'Big Business,' said Mr. Herber, represented by Hanna, Mun sey, Perkins and others of higher and lesser note who have always opposed LaFollette entered the contest and in troduced Col. Roosevelt as a candi date and are still actively supporting him. The people will judge in the light of the facts whether or not Roosevelt has kept faith with LaFollette or is doing so with the real progressives of the country." TAFT IS LEADING. Indications That Indiana Win Instruct for Him. Indianapolis, Ind., March 23. Re publicans of Marion county have se lected delegates to the state conven tion which will name four delegates at large to the national convention and also nominate two electors.

New Machinery Purchased for Topeka Shops. It is announced in Topeka today that the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway has appropriated $22,700,000 for improvements in the year 1912. The detailed budget for this year has not been completed but it includes $5,700,000 for equipment, $2,000,000 for double tracking on the coast lines, $1,000,000 for Colorado terminals and $500,000 for an office building and sta tion at Galveston. Officials of the road in Topeka re fused today to give out any informa tion on the amount of money to be spent in Topeka and Kansas but it is known that the expenditures in this city and state will be smaller than they have been in the last few years. The vast amount of money spent In Topeka and Kansas since 1900 has placed the lines, equipment and facil ities in this state in standard condi tion. In Topeka a new ten story gen eral office building and several shop buildings have placed the road in good shape to handle all headquarters of fice and mechanical business. Most of the money et aside for this year will be spent on the lines in the west, the southwest and along the gulf. Improvements in track and equipment will constitute a large section of the program for 1912. Increase Shop Output. In Topeka the Santa Fe will pur- 1 nf.nalHor'jhlo mflcVlinprV fOT the v inii; i..i.Mui increased work In the company s big shops in this city. Machinery of the improved type and aaaitionai luoia onnaratiia tf bflTldle nCW W O T R will be installed. But no new build ings are contemplated, say onicers oi the company. In the new equipment orders for 1912 the Santa Fe will purchase 7o passenger coaches, nearly 3,000 freight and work cars and 75 locomo- uvea iiKvitiut, nearly eix million dollars. Most of ,i. r-ara will he of the mas- sive steel underframe type used by the Santa Fe. The locomotive order will include several of the monster Mallet type similar to the engines Bet up in "the Topeka shops. These lo comotives are considered the largest in the world. In double track work the Santa e will spend $2,000,000 on the coast lines. This will give the road upwards to 1,000 miles of double track. At this time the Santa Fe has nearly 750 miles of double track extending solidly from Chicago to Newton, Kan., and con necting various points in the coast line district. When the double track is completed throughout the coast lines the Santa Fe will have a complete double track svstem from Chicago to the Pacific. With the Colorado and Panhandle lines spreading out from Newton the road has a double track system from Kansas to the coast lines. The detailed budget for Topeka and Kansas and this western territory will be given out in detail soon. RIVER IS STILL HIGH. Persists in Staying Around Seventeen Feet. The forecaster says that there'll be more snow tonight or Sunday and makes no further comment. Up to 9 o'clock this morning the depth of snow for March thus far was 15 inches, which constitutes a record for this month in the past quarter of a century. If the snow continued to fall a few hours longer the previous record for a season will have to take a "back seat." The river fell .7 of a foot from 5 o'clock Friday evening to 8 o'clock this morning. The stage at the 8 o'clock reading was 17 feet. "There probably will not be more than a few degrees variation in the temperature tonight and Sunday," said "Sunny" Flora, the local weather ob server today. "The prospects are that Sunday will be a disagreeable day." Stage of River at Standstill. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the stage of the river was precisely the same as at the first reading today 8 o'clock. This was 17 feet. There seems to be a good deal of uneasiness on the part of some people who fear a flood, but "Sunny" Flora, the local weather ob server, says there is no immediate danger. The Blue river was reported to be over its banks two feet at Beatrice, Neb., and there were slight rises re corded today in respect to the Solomon and Republican rivers, tributaries of the Kaw. "There has not as yet enough snow fallen to cause apprehension," said Mr. Flora this afternoon, "but the riv er will bear watching." All day a comparatively light snow has been faaling. The measurement of snow which has fallen since Friday evening is 2.4 inches. This makes 3i inches of snow thus far this season. The previous record for an entire sea son is 39.7 inches. The snow of the past 24 hours when melted measured .24 of an Inch. The wind is blowing 12 miles an hour from the northeast.

Pomp and Solemnity Attended the Funeral Ceremony. XRE INTERRED AT ABLIOT Sixty-Four Bodies Are Flaced Beside Those of Comrades. AH Government Business Is Suspended in Washington. Washington, March 2 3. With all the pomp and solemnity that a mighty nation can pay its heroes of war the last of the dead of the Maine were laid away today in Arlington cemetery. Side by side with the bodies of those brought back from Havana harbor after the war with Spain, they were consigned to the earth of the Old Dominion, while a nation paid its last measure of honor to the "unidentified" of that great catastrophe that brought on a war, changed the map of the world and extended the empire of tha United States into the corners of tha earth. Seldom in the history of this coun try has there been planned a higher tribute to the memory of any man or men than that for the sixty-four dead of the Maine. Government business in Washington practically was sus pended by executive order. President Taft, most of the members of hts cabinet, the highest officers of the army, the navy and the marine corps, officials of the departments and the representatives of many foreign pow ers participated in the exercises. Over the government buildings flags hung t halfmast while congress adjourned for the day. The booming of minute guns and the tramp of soldiery added the touch of miltary pomp and circum stance. Elaborate preparations had been made for the ceremonies of burial, beginning with the removal of the dead from the U. S. S. Birmingham, which brought them up from Havana, and ending with the firing of three vol leys of musketry over the new made graves across the Potomac. The ceremony was designed to show all honor and respect to the martyrs .of the doomed ship. The escort for the slow march through the streets of the capital from the Birmingham to the state, war and navy building was picked from the Birmingham and oth er vessels now in Washington. The speakers who faced the crowd in the plaza behind the navy building were only three President Taft and Fath er Chidwick, chaplain of the Maine when the explosion of February 15. 1898, sent her to the bottom, and Chaplain Bayard. U. S. N. Order of the Irocession. The Marine band, the show band of Washington, was chosen to give the solemn music for the dead and an army battery stationed near the Washington monument was selected to fire the 21 gun salute as the ceremonies at the navy building ended and the quiet march to Arlington was begun. Conspicuous among the officials for whom reservations had been made Just behind President Taft on the steps of the big granite building were Rear Ad miral Charles D.

For Admiral Dewey and- Lieut. General Nelson A. Miles, the ranking officers of the navy and the army special places had been set a3ide. During the memorial exercises ar rangement had been made for the toll ing of the Paul Revere bell of All Soul's Unitarian church, which has been tolled at the funeral of presidents, ad mirals, generals and other prominent men. Winding slowly out from behind the navy building into Pennsylvania avenue the funeral procession found its way through the older part of Wash ington, across the Aqueduct bridge over the Potomac river and up the gray road to Arlington. Admiral 1'lsk In Command. To Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fisk had been assigned command of tl'e parade and behind him were placed firn an escort of police; a detachment of troops from Fort Myer; the marine band, a squadron of cavalry and the first battalion of engineers. The naval escort comprised a battalion of ma rines, two battalions of seamen; the naval band and the District of Colum bia naval militia. Just ahead of the 34 army caissons bearing the leaden caskets were placed Chaplain Bayard and Father Chidwick and Just behind the flag draped coffin the pallbearers from the navy, the honorary pallbear ers from the United Spanish war Vet erans and 48 body bean rs. The place at the head of the mourn ers was given to President Taft. in the White House automobile his sec retary, Charles D. Hilles, and his naval aide, Lieutenant Timmons, alo had seats. The personal escort was a troop of cavalry and the line behind his au tomobile included the secretary of war, the secretary of navy, the assistant secretary of navy, officers of the Maine, aides to the secretary of the nav, chiefs of bureaus of the navy depart ment and the major general command ant of the marine crops. Just behind these official places had been left for the distinguished persons, the United Spanish war veterans, ladies' auxiliary of the veterans, societies and citizens Over the graves in Arlington the sim ple exercises included burial services by Chaplain Bayard and Father Chid wick. With the firing of three volleys of musketry by a company of marine.' a national salute of 21 guns from an army battery in the cemetery and the sounding of the plaintive call o; taps the dead were given to the earth.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STTE JOTTRNAE MARCH 23, 1912 MILLION A YEAR. (Continued from Page' One.) Fe Hallway company, declared that as i result of investigations made by his department, the freight rate was not the factor which a great many people claimed it was with reference to the ultimate jnsumer. In support of his declaration he sub mitted an exhaustive array of figures covering 90 towns in Kansas where the prices, as ascertained as late as the 14th of th- present month, were the same at many of the points where the fluctations in freight rates were as much as 32 cents per hundred pounas In the course of Mr. Koontz s testi mony. (Commissioner White, as cross- examiner, injected an inquiry as to whether the articles which the wit ness was dealing with were not so called trust goods. Mr. Koontz very quickly replied by asking Commission er White if he considered, as nus-i cw ,ih nrtlnles as navy beans, canned goods, cheese, coffee and a half a dozen other standard articles entering intn ihe hoi-sphold consumption. Jur. White did not reply. The Trust Question. It was apparent that Mr. White was trying to have the witness admit that the uniformity of prices, witnout k gard to the freight rates, was on ac count of conditions created by so called trust goods regulation. The tes timnnv of the witness clearly indica ted that the prices to the consumer of standard brands of canned good throughout the state were approximate ly the same, whether the freight rate at one point was 40 per cent -higher than the freight rate at anomer vyiui.. 'The examiner," said Mr. Koontz, has tried to indicate that the goods in volved are of trust regulation, and it ia true that the prices, even on the goods referred to as trust gooda, are the same throughout the state. Apparently it is ndmitted bv the cross examiner s ques tions that there will be. as contended by me, no reduction so far as prices to the consumer are concerned. Then, why should the authorities of the state- be using their offices in the direction of pulling down the freight rates of the railroads which are Kansas institu tions, and which have built up the state, more than any other industry taking awa; their revenues ana giving them to parties beyond the confines of the state, who do not, as indicated by the cros3 examiner's questions, give the benefit of the reduction to the people for whom it is intended." Mr. Koontz was quite clear in saying that he did not feel there should have been injected into the hearing reference to so-called trust goods, as he felt that the manufacturers of such commodi ties, as might have been labeled by the cross examiner, as trust goods, were also doing a great work for the con sumer, having made it possible on ac count of economies to make standard prices lower than those which have ever heretofore prevailed. Mr. Koontz's testimony was in con firmation of the testimony of W. N. Todd, a wholesale grocer of Leaven worth, who has been in the business for over forty-five years. Mr. Todd stated that on at least 60 per cent of the commodities handled by his firm, by reason of the prices being the same without regard to point of delivery, the freight rate was not a factor. The tes timony of these two witnesses, one the general freight agent of a great rail road, the other an extensive jobber of commodities in general use. clearly made a record which is new in freight rate hearings. WAIT FOR SUNSHINE. Men Cannot Move Mountains of Snow on IT. P. Salina, Kan., March 23. "The sun will be the only snow plow employed by the Union Pacific on the west end for the present," said a Union Pacific official today. With snow plows, stall ed, ditched and broken and engines weakened and battered by jamming into the big drifts. Union Pacific rail road men say it is useless to attempt to remove the mountains of wet, pack ed snow that cover the line in the west. All passenger trains for Denver are detoured north at Oaklev to Colby and thence over the Rock "island tracks. The situation west of Plainville is as bad. Some towns on the Plainville branch west of the last named city have not seen a train since February 25th. TWO AVIATORS KILLED Their Biplane Is Overturned by a Gust of Wind. Sebastopo! March 23.

McCutcheon. FEES REPORTED John Sehenck Still Owes the County $25. E. R. Simon's Account Declared to Balance Evenly. Reports covering fees collected in the county attorney's office from January 1. 1907, to August 31, 1911, were shown Friday afternoon in a report fiied by special accountants employed by the county. According to the report, the county should receive from J. J. Sehenck, former county attorney $25, while the Simon account balances ac curately. From January 1, 1907, to January 1, 1911. J. J. Sehenck collected from the district court $3,471.55 in fees in addi tion to $1,411.84 received from the Court of Topeka. Of this total of $4,833.39. the county was entitled to $1,900.89, of which $1,875.89 was paid to the treasury, leaving an alleged deficit of $25. These fees are made up from three individual cases and a balance of $2.50 claimed to be due from the quarterly report o September, 1908. In the cases of State vs. Ring and State vs. Milan, $10 in each case is claimed, while $2.50 is claimed in the case of the State vs. Pears. The report covers but eight months of the Simon administration and shows that in that time Simon drew $850 in excess fees. Cases and payments sub sequent to August 31, last year, are not shown on the report. From the district court Simon col lected $887.50 in fees and $193. b0 from the court of Topeka. Of this total of $1,081.00 the county attorney retained $850 and paid into the county treas ury the remaining $231. According to the report, this $231 covers all monies paid by Simon into the county treas ury in eight months. An "annual statement" issued by Simon in Decem ber, last year, states that in 11 months he paid $2,075 into the treasury in fines in addition to $300 in forfeited bonds; or a total of $2,375. Compar- ng the auditor s report with Mr. Simon's statement and assuring that both are correct. It would be neces sary for Simon to have paid into the treasury in September, October and November of last year $2,144 in fines and forfeited bonds.

GIVEN TO EARTH. fContini-ed from Page One.) of the Maine, but that the tragedy was part of the causes which led up to the Spanish war no one familiar with the circumstances now can doubt. "That war every American can feel proud of because it was fought without a single selfish instinct and was prompted by the truest motives. Be ginning with a self denying ordinance with respect to Cuba, we were forced into the attitude of taking over the Philippines and our course in those is lands has reflected the highest credit on our purposes and civilization. "These, our honored dead, were hurled into eternity without the in spiration of anticipated battle or hoped-for victory. But they were on duty when they went down; they wore the uniforms of their beloved country, and they are to be classed well to the fore in that long list of naval heroes whose steadfastness and courage have given the Ameri can nation the high posiiton it oc cupies In history among the navies of the world. "It is well that we should halt the wheels of government and stay the hum of industry to take time to note by appropriate ceremony the debt we owe to those who gave up their lives for the nation. We raised the ship from the mud bottom of Havana har bor and gave her remains honorable burial in the blue waves of the ocean. We now consign to the sacred soil of Arlington the recovered bones of those who gave the Maine her per sonality and made her a living weapon for the protection of na tional honor and vital interests. We have given to those ceremonies all possible solemnity that are included in the honors of war and we shall fail if they do not express In unmistak able tone and sign the deep and last ing gratitude of a nation to her mar tyred defenders."

Dry goods and coal remain in the fore-ground as regards activity. In the dry goods line advances on several kinds of goods have been made by the mills, and in view of the fact that stocks are light, that labor demands higher wages and that production is still under normal, merchants recognize if they want goods they must not delay in olacins orders. Leather is not especially active but DrosDects bearing on the future are good and prices are expected to ad vance because supplies are decreasing. raw material is higher and uses for other articles than shoes are being ex tended.

The statement was DreDared in connection with the fight now be ing made in the senate by some south ern Democrats on omnibus pension bills, in which are combined many private pension bills. The statement shows that seven Democrats and one Republican have introduced no private pension bills since this congress began. In the number of pension bills in troduced it is shown that Senator Curtig of Kansas is sponsor for more than any other senator. He has in troduced 277 such bills. Kansas is known, to have between 20,000 and 30.000 Grand Army men in its popula tion. The statistics show that the Repub licans are much more liberal in intro ducing pension bills than the Demo crats, 695 having been put in by Democrats and 2.356 by Republicans. Under the caption of The Kansas Farmer, a Modern Man," the Wash ington Post editorially says: Old Farmer Is No More. "Reports from Salina, Kan., where at the evening functions of the con vention of the Farmers' Alliance all the farmers appeared in 'dress suits. now threaten to do away forever with the generic caricature of the aged gentleman with wispy whiskers stand lng in the middle of the road with a few chicKens at his feet and shaking his nst as an automobile whizzes Dy It used to be very comforting to think of the hard working farmer, the back bone of hla country, rising in the morning at 4 o'clock and plowing the field until 5. It was always refresh ing to consider his deadly hatred of automobiles end persons wno changed their shirts three times a week. Tne farmer was about all we had left of primitive days. And now even our old conception of the farmer is being swept away. "It is not easv to picture the farm er as he is described in the reports from Salina. The dapper, well propor tioned dandies, with their waxed mustaches, high hats and white bos omed evening clothes do not accord with the picture the country has al ways had in mind. Surely it cannot re possible that the stove in the coun try store Is no longer used as a cuspi "dor! Surelv it cannot be true that the feet that are placed on the soap box a.re now Incased in patent leather in stead of the old cowhide! It seems utterly Incredible, and yet we find one wealthy farmer quoted as saying: 'Farming has been reduced to a science. Whereas it used to be drudg ery, it has now become a pleasure, 'and the profits are more than satis factory. Two decades ago a farmer would size up a horse for Its breed; now the farmer, with the eye of an expert, sizes up an automobile for its power and general going qualities. "If this be true, then civilization has waved its fairy wand over the farmer of the country and he has been chaned into a prince of fashion virtually over night. The wispy whis kers have given way to the waxed mustache, the sagging pants have made way for carefully creased trou sers, and the old nag that formerly pulled the farmer to church on Sun days has been replaced" by the high power automobile. "If the change has actually taken place, as reported, we look forward to the day when the next farmer rep resentative comes to Washington. He probably will bring his valet along, and it will make him very impatient when he learns that the house office building is without a Turkish bath and manicure girls." Bristow Fights the Autos. Senator Joe Bristow of Kansas is unalterably set against Uncle Sam providing automobiles for officials and employees of the District of Columbia government. During the of New York, to abolish the San Fran cisco mint on the ground of economy, powerful organizations are uniting over the entire coast to save the mint for California. The committee stands firm in its determination to econo mize and will undoubtedly drop either the Denver or the San Francisco plants. Mayor James Rolph of San Francisco is actively following the campaign to hold the mint on the coast. Edward Sweeney is superin tendent of the mint. U HINT AT JOHH d TITZGrRAL-D xJUDGL EDWARD SWLEKE HARD TO DROP But Many Drop It. A young Calif, wife talks about coffee: "It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ills. (Tea contains caffeine the same drug found in cof fee and is equally harmful.) At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and I gave it up, but my condition remained unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for I was very fond of it. "About that time a friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. I ask ed him the reason. He replied, 'I have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago. till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drink ing Postum!' "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was Ave months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We Were convinced that coffee caused his suf fering, so he returned to Postum, con vinced that the coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more by insomnia "I, myself, have gained 8 pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit the old coffee that caused our aches and ails and take up Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a rea son." Ever read tlie above letter? A new one appears from time to time. Tliey are eonuine, true, and full of human interest, consideration of the annual appro priation for the district in the sen ate, Mr. Bristow pounced down on automobile items wherever he saw one, and made points of order against them. His contention failed, however, in every case except the one granting a machine to the superintendent of schools, Dr. Davidson, who is a for mer Kansan. Senator Gallinger, in charge of the bill, did not protest very strongly against Mr. Bristow in this item, and said if he insisted upon it the item might go out. In every item of this character the chairman of the committee said the automobile allowed was in the inter est of economy rather than of pro fligacy. But Senator Bristow couldn't see it "in that light and continued his war against furnishing free bus wagons for officials. Kansas postmasters appointed: Ed ward C. Hill, Burr Oak; Joseph A.

An drew Johnson of this city, one of Dodge City's early pioneers, is a very happy man. He is the owner of a large collection of fine Indian relics which he has collected from time to time since he first came to this part of the country. A number of relics were gathered by Johnson at 'Dobe Walls after the famous battle at that place in 1874. in which Bat Master son participated. Johnson placed the most prized portion or his collection in the Eagle club rooms and it was generally thought that it was destroy ed in the recent fire at this place. Af ter the insurance adjusters finished inspecting the ruins Johnson set about to look for the remnants of his collec tion and found it practically intact ex cept for the loss of some mounted horns and buffalo robes, which were destroyed entirely. The remainder of the relics are only slightly damaged. FINDS HUSBAND SAFE IN HOUSE. Wife Travels Ten Miles. Freezing Feet and Hands in Search. Cimarron, Kan., March 23. Mrs. S. P. Mundy froze both feet and hands while searching for her husband who was missing from home for 24 hours during one of the worst storms ever known to this part of the country. Mr. Mundy had gone to town for supplies and phoned to his wife when ready to start home. When he did not arrive his wife became alarmed and started in search of him. She was accompanied bv her aged father. They traveled for a distance of ten miles. There at a house they found the miss ing man alive and well. He had found that it vas imnossible to face the storm and had stopped. The daughter and father were barely able to reach the house. TO BOOST FOK KANSAS. Development Association to Meet at Wichita May 26. Garden City, Kan., March 23. More develooment. better business and intelligent effort are to be the keynotes of the regular quarterly con ference of the Kansas Development association at Wichita March 26 and 27. The organization is a merger ol the state commercial bodies of the state. One of the principal subjects to be considered, according to an announce ment made here, is a legislative pro gram that provides for a state immi gration commission. BAUGHMAN'S "PAIj" IS LOST. APPEAL TO REASON TO QUIT. Fred Warren Has Grown Wealthy Off Socialist Publication. Girard, Kan.. March 23. Tired of fighting, Fred D. Warren is to sus pend publication of the Appeal to Rea son, the Socialist paper issued here, he has announced. For nine years Warren has been in constant conflict with the United States authorities. He and his asso ciate editors, J. A. Wayland and C. L. Phifer, are now under indictment. Wrarren possibly may continue to pub lish the paper for another year, but now he is not looking beyond next summer when his trial on a charge of misusing the United States mails will be held. Ten years ago Warren was an ob scure country editor struggling against poverty in Rich Hill, Mo. He became a rebel against the social system, the system he said that gave the individ ual no chance. His virulent attacks on it brought him a name. The real founder of the Appeal to Reason is J. A. Wayland. He first published it in Kansas City but did not prosper. He sold Warren and Warren's broth er, Benjamin, a half interest for $2 5, 000. They moved to Girard and the money commenced pouring in. With the profits of the Appeal Wayland and Warren made investments that have been fortunate and made each inde pendently wealthy. The Appeal, always fighting against the interests and in behalf ot union labor, received a severe blow in the McNamara confession. It lost thou sands of subscribers and began to lose money. The tide has been stemmed but Warren and Wayland have a for tune each now, and they intend keep ing it. except from the windows of Pullman cars, upon which he frequently had oc casion' to ride, was received at the prison. It was in the spring, and, as practically all other departments "of the big institution were filled, he was assigned to field work. The young convict hesitated, but that made little difference, so he with several others, the majority of whom had worked on the farm before, went to work. After about a week of handling a plow and other implements common to the average farmer, this young con vict began developing into what is ex pected to be the best farmer at the prison. And it probably will be the making of him when he is released two years hence. He frequently says now that he was cut out for a farmer, and as soon as he gets out he intends to go to work immediately for a far mer, instead of back to the office of a railroad company, as he previously had been employed.

KANSAS METHODISTS UNITED. William Brinkley, Negro, Hidden in Mine Drifts. Leavenworth. Kan., March 23. William Brinkley, a chum of Rob ert Baughman, who escaped from the state prison at Lansing Friday, was missing at roll call that night. He had been working in the prison mines and is believed to have hidden in one of the many drifts. Brinkley was sentenced in Kansas City, Kan., to serve five to seven years for larceny. No trace has been found of Baugh man, according to the penitentiary officials. NOT Alibi GUILTY OF HAY .THEFTS. Overcomes Evidence Given by Wason Tracks. Lamed. Kan., March 23. The trial of Ed Peck, charged with grand lar ceny for stealing hay from the Lowrey ranch south of this place on February 13, was held before Judge B. F. Bru baker here yesterday and resulted in an acquittal. J. C. Young, foreman on the Lowrey ranch, was the prose cuting witness and testified that he traced wagon and horses' tracks from the ranch to Peck's home in the nonjji west part of town. Peck cleared himself by proving a perfect alibi. Lay Delegates Elected. Salina, Kan., March 23. Lay dele gates to the general conference at Minneapolis were elected here today North and South Divisions in Church Here Abolished. Kansas City, Mo., March 23. Methodist Episcopal churches of east ern Kansas will be combined through action taken by the Kansas confer ence in session in Kansas City, Kan., today. Resolutions bringing about the consolidation of the Southern Kansas conference and the Kansas conference were adopted. The breach in the Methodist ranks in eastern Kansas dates back to the Civil war. Feeling in Kansas ran high and resulted in the Methodists of southern Kansas declaring for the Confederacy and the other faction re maining with the union. The action which brought about the reunion was first taken at the meeting of the Southern Kansas conference, in Baldwin, Kan., last week. William Talley Had Been in Water Seventy-two Hours. Council Grove, Kan., March 23. A searching party found the body of William Talley, the 11 year old son of Jordon Talley, who was drowned here Monday. The body had been in the water 72 hours and was still on the bottom of the river and nearly a half mile frem where it flrst sank. Since the boy was drowned Monday hundreds of people have dragged the river but few hunted down as far as the body was found and not until after a raft had been constructed and slow ly floated down the river with a doz en men with hooks and poles was the body located. Owing to the coldness of the water the body was in good state of preser vation and was lying face upward when found. FUNNY BERNARD SHAW Says Theaters Depend for Patronage Upon Unhappy Homes. HE WILL BE A FARMER. Convict Can't See His Way to Return to Railroading. Leavenworth, Kan., March 23. Prison farm work at Lansing this year will start somewhat later than usual because of the backwardness of the season. It is the intention, however, to use every foot of ground for the raising of vegetables and other farm products which are used in maintain ing the big institution, and the crops are expected to be bigger than ever before. Last year not all of the farm was1 used, although most of it was. There will be more men employed on the ground after the weather breaks, and all those who were engaged in the farm work last year now are instruct ing "green hands" on what they will be expected to do. And thereby hangs a tale. Last year a young man who prob ably never had seen a farm in his life. Humphreys' Seventy-Seven Breaks up Colds and C J null S'.'-IWTSW K London, March 23. George Bernard Shaw has sent the following charac teristic reply to an invitation to be present at a luncheon today in con nection with the opening of the new Playgoers' club: "I shall most certainly do nothing to encourage the 'Playgoers' to move into new and comfortable premises. Thea ters depend on uncomfortable clubs and unhappy homes and my income depends on the theater. No sane man would spend an evening in a theater if he could find anywhere else to spend it without being bored or hen pecked. Women drag men to the theaters because they get so tired of housekeeping that, no matter how de lightful they make home, they desire nothing more than to escape from it as a cook desires to escape from the smell of roast fowl. But modern clubs provide a refuge from home life for both men and women and the more comfortable a club is, the sooner the members will cease to be playgoers. I know of course that members of your club have long ago settled down and that to meet one of them in theaters is almost as startling as to meet an actor in the Garrick club, but still there are a few left, and as I don't want those few to be lured away from the box office, I must decline to give my countenance to your inauguration luncheon. Besides I have another en gagement." CONTRACT FOR BRIDGE Vassar Creek Structure Will Have 40 Foot Abutment. Contract for the erection of the 40 foot abutment of the Vassar creek bridge was let by the county board late Friday to the Topeka Bridge com pany. The contract price for the work is $800. A half dozen firms bid for the Vas sar creek job, on the Shawnee-Wabaunsee county line. The Topeka Bridge company and the Leavenworth Bridge company each bid $800, while the remaining four bidders were high er. The board, after reviewing the bids, let the contract to the Topeka company.

The management of the Kansas State Fair association has already ar ranged amusement and race features that will assure a large attendance at the fair and exposition next Septem ber. The race offerings were an nounced today. They aggregate $12, 000. "The management is busy arranging for a great program for the fair next fall," said Secretary H. L. Cook to day. "To judge from present indica tions the entertainment features in cluding free acts will be equal or su perior to those 'of last September. No Longer Local. "The state fair at Topeka is no longer a local concern. The people of the state realize that it is a great stock and produce show. The success of the show in the past two years has demonstrated that the benefits of the fair are state-wide. We expect a greater attendance next fall than at anv time in the past. "The superintendents of departments who have been announcedare all men who possess special qualifications for their particular work, uney win neiy build the fair." The premium list will include of ferings aggregating more than $40,000, will be ready for distribution by the first portion of May. In appearance it will be the neatest publication of the kind ever put out in Topeka. Improvements on Grounds. Work on the broad cement side walks, which will make it possible to draw large crowds to the fair grounds even in muddy weather will be commenced as soon as the weath er becomes settled. A main walk will lead to the grandstand and there will be cement "paths," making it possi ble to reach each of the display build ings without soiling one's feet. E. F. A. Reinisch will co-operate with Secretary Cook in making plans for beautifying the grounds. It is the intention of the manage ment to make of the fair grounds a beautiful park and play grounds and a special name will be given to the park. The Race Offerings.

GAGNIER SORE AT COMISKEY Says lie lVas Neyer Given Chance With Majors. Scribes Want Harris to Learn to Use Spitter. Work will be begun early next week to make the opening day of the Western league season in Topeka this year the biggest affair of its kind in the history of the town. H. A. Auerbach, vice president of the club, will return Monday or Tuesday and with George Godfrey Moore he will work up a plan for the celebration of the opening of the season. Booster buttons which have been ordered will be placed on sale and a sum large enough to secure the ser vices of a number of bands will, it is expected, be secured. A program which will appeal to the fans will also be arranged. The .Boosters will sell a number of season tickets for the club, accord ing tp the announcement of Moore. The $10 books will be here Monday and with the Booster club selling them should not last long. Reports which the club officials receive from the south are' pleasing and the continuaice of the good weather which the kaws have so far cnioved is hoped for. Wikidals van nigans are in Texas now and Gear men will start for Cleburne as soon as a came with Uetroit is played to morrow. Gear is pleased with Shreveport weather, people and train ing facilities. He has also an nouncrd that if the club makes southern training trip next spring and he is manager Shreveport will be made headquarters. Work at the local park continues .intermittently.

Cliff Healey stated before he left for the spring practice work, that his control this year he expected to be the best of his career, and with the perfecting of his high jump ball, and the confidence he lias in his "spitter," will be able to start the season in as' good form, if not better, than he displayed at the finish last year. Healey is one of the pitchers that a good catcher likes to work with. He is never hot-headed and always tries to keep his backstop from break ing his neck trying to stop the wide ones. Spahr and Cliff, when they get to working together, ought to make an ideal battery, as Doth 01 tnem are ui the considerate kind, and do not believe in carrying a chip on their shoulders at all times. t-.

The car. which in appearance differs vastly from any others at present in use, is the notion of two offi cials of the company and is designed primarily with a view to ease and safety' in uoaraing ana alighting, the noor be ing only ten inches above the roadway. Outwardly the new car resembles a tor pedo, although the name the officials of the company attach to it is the "steplesa car." It is forty feet in length. The ex tremities are rounded and the wheels are incased, causing it apparently to slide along the tracks. The principal feature is the slight dis tance the passenger is required to step, either in boarding or alighting from the car, as entering is like stepping from the street to the curb. There is no front or rear platform, pas sengers entering and leaving through a side door. The conductor sits at one side, behind a miniature desk where he makes change and issues transfers. The doors are automatic and cannot be opened while the car is in motion. The seating capacity is fifty passengers and there is standing room for thirty more. The seats are placed as in a railway coach, except at the ends, where there is a semi-circular seat, like that in the end of a launch. The wheels, 'though invisible, are beneath the extremities of this seat, and the axle is situated just under the floor. The car is constructed wholly of steel.

Princeton. X. J.. March 23. Results of strength tests made among Prince ton, students since the opening of the college year have been made public by Joseph F. Raycroft, head of the new department of physical education in Princeton university. J. H. Jewett, 1914, is high man, with a record of 3.505 pounds. The next two strong men are II. R. Lawrence, 1912, 3,221 pounds, and D. C. Orbison 1912, 3.045 pounds. These records are taken among the three upper classes only and are the best among 108 students who underwent the test. None of these men is interested in football and Jewett's athletic career has been confined to rowing in his class crew in recent regattas. Law rence is intercollegiate champion in the fancy dive and rows number three n the Princeton varsity crew. Orbi son was for two years a member ol the gymnastic team. SLIPS MURPHY JOLT NO. II Dreyfus Gets Lefty Kellogg Sought by Sub-Leader. Pittsburg, Pa., March 23. President Barney Dreyfus, who secured $22,500 Martv O Toole while Charles Murphy was trying to annex him, has snatched another prize package from the grasp of the Cub mogul. The phenomen is Lefty Kellogg, the sensational left hander who has been making a remarkable record twirling or teams in Panama. A Pittsburg contract was forwarded to the hurler recently and he walked into the buc caneers camp today at Hot Springs. Kellogg formerly pitched for the Lexington club in the. Blue Grass league, but left that team and went to Panama, whereupon he was sus pended. Lexington gave permission to Pittsburg to negotiate with the twirler and reinstated him. Kellogg is the big gest man on the Pirate roster, weigh ing 205 pounds. CORNELL WINS MAT HONORS. Leads With 27 Points Princeton Second and Penn. Third. Xew York, March 23.

Princeton was second with 16 points; Pennsylvania third with 13, and Co lumbia last with 9. Only these four colleges were represented. London, March 23. The strangest visitor who has ever excited the mys tery and fascinated the throngs is a man standing 7 feet 2 inches in full and cavalry uniform, who goes around the country from place to place, traveling in a box 22 inches long, 16 inches deep and 12 inches wide. This seems1, of course, an ab solute impossibility, and yet the feat is being done daily. He is known asi the mysterious Yuma man, and while traveling on the railroad in the box, pays full fare the same as any other traveler, but requires no ticket. The above picture shows Yuma in Ger man uniform just before he does his spectacular act of changing this uni for to that of the costume of Mephistopheles, while suspended in mid-air. By his side is the diminu tive box in which he travels over the continent. London, March 23.

We are living in an era wherein the lawmakers, the press. thepubiic, the employer and employee of railway and industrial enterprises are giving much attention to the conservation of hu man lives, and the preservation of limbs and bodies of all people. "Self preservation is the first law of na ture." With the rush and bustle in the affairs of our lives we are prone to forget its preservation and the avoidance of unnecessary accidents. Much legislation and many laws have been enacted and placed upon our statute books looking forward to the safeguarding of machinery in shops and factories, as well as making the way. equipment and surroundings of our railways safe, not only to the public, but the employee, and these j laws have been obeyed. But, how lit- 11, V.OC, V. n rl. fliniiffr .:f eVi- r.n K. this human catastrophe. Stranw as ir mav seem at least 73 per cent of these accidents occur eith er from carelessness of the employee or his co-laoorer, or tnat or tne public. What then can be done to reduce this onslaught of carelessness. It ap pears our laws are not directed in such a way as to call the attention of the masses to the exercise of a higher de gree of care, either in the perform ance of labor, or the place where the person may be. so as to surround him self or herself with such precautionary acts as will avoid the happening of an accident. i The employee in the operation of machinery. conjunction with his employment, who fails to exercise his mental mnalitien as to w hether or not his method In j doing his work is of such a shiftless character that an injury. either to j himself or his fellow employees, is i likely to occur, is not doing hLs duty. I If he .does not keep his mind on his t work, his ears receptive o the sound, his eyes to sight, an injury is invaria bly the result of such wanton care j lessness. I The public are not free from this j vice of mental carelessness. One has t only, in our city, to stand on one cf j the street corners, by way of illustra j tion, and watch the careless movement of these users of the highway. Blindly I they proceed on the crossing, not for I a moment using their eyes or ears as to whether the way is clear with l heada down, and engaged many times in conversation. It is the least ot their thoughts to exercise their God given qualifications of looking and lis tening. When will the time ever be at hand when precautionary methods will te adopted. Care is the essence of pre servation. It is the manmaid of our existence. Naturally it should be the uppermost thoug'jt in our minds. The business of life should be armed wit t thoughts of care, and at no time shou'1 we lose sight of ourselves, but be in position to ward off "any act on our part that might be the means of dt- HOUSE.

A thought of care when at labor, on the streets or highways, at depots or on trains, would no doubt lengthen our existence and save many bodily injuries. We are all anxious to da.h through life by the most speedy and no doubt shortest route. Why can not we proceed in such a way as to make our course safe, and not act harshly or carelessly, when our business or pleasure, as the case may be. brings us to such places, and in contact with the exercise of thought, that would with care prevent an injury. Let us then brush up our thoughts, not only by acts for our own protec tion, but others as well. Study and exercise care. One will not only receive the thank3 of his own conscience, but that of the public. If we were all carc- j f ul. how few accidents would be re corded in our daily journals. Study care, exercise care, and your watch fulness no doubt will permeate the minds of your neighbors, who would be better off for your thoughtfulnes-?. The old adage "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." in practice will enshroud mankind with a degree of care, the result of which is the pre servation of our lives, limbs and bodies.

The contention ia the State Journal last evening that the railord ex penses have increased greatly follow ing the late period of storms is borne out bv the official returns for the month of January received by the in terstate commerce commission up to March H. covering about 93 per cent of the steam railway mileage of the country, compiled by che bureau of railway economics. The figures show that the total operating revenues for that month were ?233,143,11S. and the operating expenses $L5$,911.489. In comparison with January, 1911,' this is a decrease of $2,S?6,149 in operating revenues and an increase of M,205,a71 in operating expenses. Net operating revenue amounted tc J44.231.S29. which is less than for Jan uary, 1911, by J7.092.C20. This is ai average decrease of $34 per mile of line for the month, or 13 per cent; and an average decrease per mile for each day of the month of Jl.ll, the net op erating revenues averaging $6.26 per mile per day in January. 1912, as com pared with 7.37 for January, 19U. The decrease was most serious in the south, where it amounted to 19 4-10 per cent; almost as serious in the west, where it amounted to 17 7-10 per cent; in the east it was l' 7-19 per cent. These net operating revenues are gross pro fits, out of which must come taxes rentals, interest on bonds, appropria tions for betterments, and dividends. Taxes for January amounted to $9, 579.S37, an average of $42 per mile. These results for January summarize for all the railways per mile of line for the month as follows: Total operat ing revenues decreased 2.S per cent, j operating expenses increased 1.3 per cent; net operating revenues decreased j 15 per cent; taxes increased 11.7 per j cent. Net operating revenue per mile of line for January, 19U- was pi cent less than for January. 1S10. There fore, the average net operating revenue per mile of line for January, 1912, was over one-Sfth less than for January, 1910. NEW BACKERS IX)K MO. P. Kulm, Loeb Co.

Miller were elected directors, are well satisfied with the progress which has been made in the intervening months in tne rehabilitation of the property. The firm has genuine confidence in its fu ture and has been willing since be coming affiliated with it to advance considerably more money for its up building than it has done so far. The bankers realize that some little time yet will be required to carry out the improvement plans which have been decided upon. It is suggested that in spite of this fact the earnings are al ready reflecting to some extent the work that has been done since B. F. Bush assumed the duties of president and the bankers agreed to finance the company's needs. ASK EMPLOYEES FOR IOEAS. Southern Pacific send- Announcements to 45.000 Men. Recently the Southern Pacific sent out an announcement to its 43,000 em ployees, asking them to submit ideas and suggestions by which the service might be improved or economies ef fected. The same plan has been put into practice by the Pennsylvania rail road. The experiment is of too recent origin on the Southern Pacific for di rect results. To the Pennsylvania, after a couple of months' trial, it has brought gratifying returns. A fire man on the Pennsylvania observed that by standardizing the heights of coal gates on locomotive tenders, he could minimize the loss of fuel through vi bration. His suggestion was put into practice and a great saving ensued. He was well paid for the idea. A car inspector on the Pennsylvania devised a method for the effective cleansing and sterilization of drinking cups and other receptacles on the train. His idea was adopted and brought him a handsome reward. PEXX EMPLOYEES "WISE." Surprise Tests Failed to Catch Men Unawares. More than 200.000 efficiency tests were made in 1911 by the Pennsyl vania railroad, and the reports made public show that the employees have a record of 99.7 per cent perfect. Efficiency tests, at one time called sur prise tests, as conducted, cover a wide range of subjects, such as "conformity to speed regulations," "observation of all kinds of signals," "leaving or ar riving ahead of time," "car doors not properly closed." and many others of a similar nature, lests are conducted by division officials of the railroad, who at unusual times and places check up employees in their work, to see that all ruies and regulations are obeyed. Failure to observe any of the rules re garding the use of signals is immedi ately reported, and the offender is called before the proper official for discipline. JOIN" FIVE RAILWAY SYSTEMS.

6 THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL MARCH 23, 1912 TRADE BALANCE Shows Growth of Our Com merce Is Real. Organized Effort Must Be Made to Sell Goods. AGRICULTURE TRADE SAFE Europe Depends on Us for Foodstuff Supply. St. Taul to Spend 5 Million for Improvements. New Tork, March 23. Quite as im portant as any other development of the present week is the estimate which comes from Washington that the visi ble trade balance in favor of the Uni ted States for the fiscal year which ends on June 30 next will be in excess of 600 million dollars. If this forecast be justified by the event, then our for eign commerce for the calendar yer of 1911 will, instead of showing the high water mark, stand second to- the record made in the governmental year which is the 12 months from July 1, 1911. Should our visible favorable tra'le balance be found for the fiscal year to be in excess of 60u millions, then it may reasonably be assumed that the great international commerce which the United States began to gain aboi-t two years ago was not ephemeral or due to exceptional reasons, but is to be permanent. Unless political agita tions, unwise legislation or very un favorable conditions in other parts of the world have sway in the immediate future, the exports of American prod ucts should increase so rapidly that w ithin five years there can be no ques tion about the pre-eminence of the United States so far as world markei.3 are concerned. The total export from the United States in the year 1911 was 2 billions. 14 millions, in round num bers, and of these exports, manufac tured commodities were in money value only a little under one-half of the totdl amount. Our exports of cotton in the year 1911 made up more than one-half of the total exports of agricultural products. While our manufacturers are perfect ing highly skilled and expert depart ments occupied exclusively with the eale of our manufactured commodities in till marttfts nf thp wnT-Irl- thdro ti i-f no indications that anything of this kind is under way so far as export.; of agricultural products are concerned, ilurope and the rest of the world art buying the products of American fields, chiefly cotton, yellow corn and wheat, because these foreign' countries are in great measure dependent upon, us for these products. It is not necessary ihat there be thoroughly organized ana skilfully directed foreign selling de partments for American agricultural products. It has been recognized in this city for some time that if we are to main vain and increase our exports of man ufactured products it is vital that there be great selling agencies directed with masterly ability. For we are brought into severe competition with manufacturing nation across the sea, especially Great Britain and Germany. The department of commerce at Wasn ington is now in possession of authori tative figures which tend to shmv that not with Great Britain, but with Germany, must the United States wa her chief competitive battle for the markets of the world so far as Ameri can manufactured commodities are concerned. What They Base It On. The estimate of a favorable visible trade balance in excess of 600 millions in the international commerce of the United States for the fiscal year wbici ends on June 30 is in part based upon the record made by our commerce in the month of February. We sold to other nations in that month agricu' tural commodities nearly 8 per cent greater than the exports of like commo dities in the month of February. 1911 This, of itself, is a decided improve ment as compared with the exports of agricultural products in the early months of the current fiscal year. It caused some concern in the fall BOUND TO OVERTAKE HI! f 1 y ywW n jj SI COUPON FREE To every sufferer frdni Rheumatism Name Address.... This coupon when mailed to Magic Foot Iraft Co., Dept.

If you could see the thousands cf letters I get. telling of cures at every stage in the pro gress of this cruel torture called 'Rheuma tism, cures of old chronics who have suf fered 20, 30 and even 40 years, as well as all the milder stages, you would lay aside cago Northwestern with the Union of last year that there should be a falling off in our exports of agricul tural products as compared with like exports a year earlier. However, the money value ot the exports of agricul tural products, which showed a falling off in 1911, as compared with 1910, represented the very low price of cot ton. We were exporting a greater amount of cotton than we did a year earlier chiefly because we had a great er amount to export. But the total money receipts from the early fall of last year up to February this year for our cotton exports were less than the amount received a year earlier, not withstanding the fact that the quanti ty of cotton exported in the earlier year was much less. A striking change was observed, however, in February of this year. The amount of cotton exported was much larger than was the case in February, 1911. while the money received for this cotton was greater than was the case in February of a year ago. There is something very impressive to the careful student of our interna tional commerce in the reports which came from Washington on Wednesday of this week which showed that in the month of February we sola to foreign nations commodities so much greater than our imports that the apparent balance in our favor was sixty-four million dollars. Our foreign trade for the month of February then represent ed a favorable balance for the United States of a little over two million dol lars for every day of the month of February. That favorable balance was five millions greater than was the handsome balance reported for the month of January. There is no reason to apprehend any falling off in our foreign trade in the three and one-half months which remain of the present fiscal year. The chances are that it will be increased. These considerations constitute some of the factors upon which are based the estimate that our visible interna tional trade balance for the current fiscal year will be in excess of six hun dred million dollars. The Real Significance. Behind these figures are to be dis covered some of the reasons for the very gratifying feeling which now pre vails that we are on the eve of a busi ness revival. We did an enormous business last year in American manu factures. The statistical department at Washington, which bases its figures upon authoritative reports it has re ceived, has just stated that the money value of the commodities manufac tured In American factories in the year 1911 was approximately twenty billion dollars. That is just twice as much as the money vaiue of manu factured commodities ten years ago. Figures of that kind do tend to the belief that not a little ot tne com plaint of business depression is un justified. it is due in no small measure to our international trade that the United States now possesses an ascendency over any other nation so far as the world's money markets are concerned. We still continue to send gold to the Argentine republic, and we do that be cause our money market is the best in the world. We have sent out of the country about twenty millions in gold within a few months, a little more than one-half of which has been taken by Paris. Our bankers have been this week and will probably next w-eck be in negotiation with European bankers for the marketing of loans and, on the same day in which the estimates from Washington o?' ou. international trade balance for the current year were made, it was reported that American bankers had within a few hours sold a million and. a half .of the notes of ne of the smaller principalities of Europe, and it was also reported, ap parently authoritatively, that our bankers were in negotiation with the Chinese government for the purpose of furnishing the new republic instant ly with much needed money. The Jtailway Improvements. It was reported in this column a few days ago that information had been received from bankers of the far west that the railway managers of the Transmissouri district contemplate ex pending many millions for improve ments of roadbed, equipment, straight ening curves and lessening grades. Tending to confirm this report i3 the news just received from Minneapolis that the officers of the Chicago. Mil waukee St. Paul railroad contemn plate the expcndi'.ure of at least five millions immediately in improvements, a part of which is to be utilized in double tracking four hunderd miles of the division between Minneapolis and the Missouri river. The recent agree ment made by the officers of the Chi the American Sugar Refining company, which shows that today the company has a little over twenty thousand stock-holders. It never before had so many. A majority of these stockhold ers live in Xew England. While there was some nervousness felt by stock holders when it was announced that the government was to bring suit to dissovle this company, that apprehen sion has entirely disappeared. It is certain that the number of stockhold ers would not have increased had there been any fear that prosecution brought bv the government would impair the value of the company. HOLLAND. NEXT SHOW MONDAY Lairt Xiatht's Pictures Drew Large Crowd to Auditorium. The next show of the moving pic tures series at the auditorium will be given Monday evening by J. C. Elliott of the Aurora theater. The series will close Wednesday. Then the winner of the loving cup offered by the Com mercial club to the theater that puts on the best show, will give an enter tainment the later part of the week the entire proceeds of which will go towards the pipe organ fund. The show Friday night put on by Harry Anderson of the Princess thea ter of the North side pleased an au dience of nearly 2.500. The weather was threatening and a much larger crowd turned out for the entertain ment than was expected under the circumstances. The show represented plenty of va riety. The concert by W. F. Roehr, who officiated at the pipe organ was enjoyed. It goes without saying that the crowd entered into the s- ntrinf the "Houn' Dawg" song with enthu siasm. William Burnett of the Prin cess, and M. C. Holman, clerk of the school board were the leaders in this popular song. The motion picture subjects shown were: "Romeo and Juliet." a Than houser drama in two reels: "The Bar gain," 'The Land Baron of San Tee." and an Imy comedy that was good, "Beat at His Own Game." William Burnett sang "King of the Bungaloo." FAVORS THE OUSTER. Sheriff Martin of Cherokee Has Been Remiss, Sa ys Reeder. vour doubts.

The enormity of our foreign business, the large credits which we are building up across the sea, will, it is believed, serve to make it compara tively easy for the railroads to get money which they need for these im provements. One of the smaller developments of the week now ending is the report of C. W. Reeder, special commission.:.' appointed by the supreme court to tak'i testimony and make finding in the ouster suit against Sheriff Martin cZ Cherokee, has "reported in favor, of the ouster. The commissioner finds from the evidence that the sheriff did not do his duty in enforcing the prohibi tory law and sustains the ouster suil brought by the attorney general against him. Martin was suspended from office temporarily by the supreme court pending the suit and the governor ap pointed C. A. Bramlette to fill his place as sheriff. If the court accepts the findings of fact of the special com missioner the temporary suspension ol Martin will be made permanent.

No remedy is so truly a help to nature as Mother's Friend, and no expectant mother should fail to use It. It relieves the pain and discomfort caused by the strain on the ligaments, makes pliant and elas tic those fibres and muscles which nature is expanding, prevents numb ness of limbs, and soothes the inflam mation of breast glands. The system being thus prepared by Mother's Friend dispels the fear that the crisis may not be safely met.

Miss Pansy Dawe; chair man of finance, Mrs. E. W. Bowen, Manhattan: chairman of mem. ex., Miss Hannah Wetzig, Manhattan. One of the pleasantest features of the Fifth district convention waa the luncheon which was given in the din ing hall of the First Congregational church. More than two hundred wo men representing every part of the Fifth district which includes ten coun ties, were present. Besides these twelve or fifteen men sat at a table in an alcove of the hall which they called the "Court of the Gentile." Among these men were President Wat ers and a number of the faculty of the State Agricultural college repre senting the educational interests of the district, an ex-president of the State Grange representing the farmers, a member of the Commercial club rep resenting the busines interests, two or three ministers representing the churches of Manhattan, Mr. Kimball representing the press and these with other men representing different or ganizations all spoke for and pledged their support of the Women Suffrage amendment. Between courses of the luncheon the state officers and hon ored gtiests ma.de their addresses. Mrs. Jas. Humphrey who had just returned from California where she was during the whirlwind there acted as toastmis tress. Dr. Alberta Corbin made a speech on the financial needs of the campaign work and many pledges were made, several of them amounting to $10, other women pledged $1.00 each for their children and one bach elor woman pledged $1.00 each for her nephews. The evening meeting was held in the auditorium of the church. Dr. Helen Brewster Owens was the principal speaker and gave a most logical and convincing address. At the close of the lectures three county presidents came forth and wanted to engage her for campaign work in their counties. Mrs. Matie E. Kim ball, the president of the district is responsible for the success and en joyable features of this meeting which will give the right kind of impetus, not only to the work in the district, but to that of other districts throughout the state. The Oakland W. C. T. TJ.; of which Mrs. G. H. Ensign is president, had a meeting Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Taylor. The W. C T. U.. with its 10,000 members, is working this year for the suffrage amendment, and at the meeting Wednesday there was evidenced a strong sentiment in favor of suffrage. The affair was a com bined business and social meeting, and the decorations of the house were in keeping with the St. Patrick's day celi-bration. Shamrock leaves, tied with white ribbon, were given as fa vors. Mrs. Charles Spencer, Mrs. Lee Monroe. Mrs. B. B. Smythe and Mrs. J. D. McFarland were guests at the meeting from the West side. Mrs. Spencer made an excellent address on suffrage, and Mrs. Monroe also spoke on the same subject. Mrs. Smythe took to the meeting a package of cards that are being used by the suf frage organizations and circulated them among the guests, who signed them as sympathizers with the cause. Mrs. .E. F. Ware, who is spending the summer with her daughter, Mrs. Frederick Nies of New York, has sent a contribution to the suffrage head quarters. Alice Shamleffer of Douglass, But ler county, Kan., who is state superin tendent of medical and temperance denartment of the W. C. T. U.. and an ardent suffragist, has been elected delegate to the general conference of the Methodist church from the soutn west Kansas conference. Since this is a tribute to the worth of women's work in the church and a recognition of her equal standing with men mem bers, both the suffragists and the W. C. T. U. women are highly pleased at the appointment. Mrs. Lillian Mitehner. president of the W. C. T. IT., has repeatedly pledg ed the best efforts of the 10,000 wom en of her organization to the Equal Suffrage league, and Mrs. W. A. John ston, president of the state league, says that the W. C. T. U. women are making their president's pledge good by working shoulder to shoulder with the club women and the suffrage as sociation to carry the amendment next fall. Suffrage in Kansas Colleges. The interest taken and active work be ing done in the educational institutions of Kansas are going to have a strong in fluence for carrying the women suffrage amendment next November. Maude Wood Parks, representative of the National Col lege Equal Suffrage league, is spending a week in the state, organizing and visiting the colleges and universities of Kansas. The sentiment thus crystallized will bear rich fruit next summer when these stud ents, going to their homes in the many localities, are prepared to stand for and speak for this principle of justice. The constitutional convention of Otvlo has granted the request of the suffragists to submit the question to the voters to be settled by popular ballot in August. The Kentucky senate passed a bi". granting school suffrage to women. Tne state gave school suffrage in 1S3S to widows with children ot school age, bu': some years later a reactionary legislature abolished the right. It is now restored in an enlarged form, allowing all women to vote who have the qualifications required of men voters.

Gave it to promotion of industrial peace. New York, March 23. As holder of political offices, literary free lance, peace prize winner, not counting back book royalties and salary of "contrib uting editor," Theodore Roosevelt has made in fifteen years about one and a quarter million dollars. -o uesi sciier ever reacnea so enormous a figure. Lately one of the most successful authors admitted that with an outlay of $300. in paper and pencils he had made in eleven years $235,000. Colonel Roosevelt beat that. His "African Game Trails," which from the day he left America until he had accomplished his shoot ing trip and set foot in Europe on his return, occupied eleven months and ten days, has so far yielded about $634,000. His proofs were corrected while touring European cities. This is not icvAuuru ill a. HLt-iiii man at'iuai work; so Colonel Roosevelt, besides? having a bully time and a vacation, earned at the rate of near $57,636 a month. It was learned today that the prin- was ordered to print 1,000.000. "Not all of these have yet been dis posed of." it was said at Charles Seribner's Sons. "Probably not more than 900.000." What terms' had been made with him could not be disclosed. But for ordinary authors the royalty is 10 per cent and for "Best sellers" 15 per cent and upward. One edition de luxe of 1,000 sold at :o. One trade edition of 1,000 sold at 54. One "Elkhorn" edition of 1,250 sold St from $2.50 to $7.50. One subscription edition of 1.000. 000, of which 900.000 have been sold, was priced at from $3.75 to $6.75 a volume, according to binding.- Nothing in subscription book busi ness, it was declared, had approached this sale, "except sales of the Bible." The last sensational money maker was the "Meraoln: of General Grant." Pre vious to that the record was held by Stanley's "Darkest Africa" and Blaine's "Twenty Years in Congress." The distribution of 900,000 copies of a subscription book in so short a period Roosevelt returned to Ameri ca In June. 1910) is regarded by pub lishers as a marvel of the generalship In conducting a canvass. Practically every country in every state in the United States still has its rank and fil" of canvassers under" local com manders. These men have been paid shove $1,125,000. for they receive 25 per cent on their sales, whether of the $3.75 book or the $20 book. Some who made their own deliveries receiv ed 40 oer cent. Colonel Roosevelt's pleasure jaunt, therefore, put into circulation $4,500. "P00 to $5.000,-000 of money and caused the printing of 430 tons of paper. If the volumes sold were placed end to end they would make nn uninterrupt ed pathway of 1.375 miles. HE DENOUNCES MEN. Calls on People to See Girl's Slayers Are Pimisheil. Osage City, Kan., March 23. At the funeral of Carrie Younge, which was held today. Father Dcgan of the Catholic church here denounced the men charged with the ruin and death of the girl and called upon the people, the city and county; officers to see that a proper punishment was meted out to the meri who, he declared, were to blame. Despite the bad weather, the funeral drew a great crowd and there is more excitement here since the funeral than there was at the time of the arrest. Sentiment is divided here as to the guilt of the men, although probably ii majority of those who have ex pressed themselves do not favor the defendants. The state in the case against Dr. J. M. Heller and James Harris -depends entirely upon the dy ing statement of the girl, having no other evidence to offer. In case this is thrown out of court, the case will fall flat. PAINT WITHOUT OIL. That Can Be Bought for 75 Cents Per Gallon iu Use in Topeka. It is weather proof and fire proof and is called Fowdr-Faint. Powdr-paint has been used all over the IT. S. for the past 17 years and un der all conditions has proved the most remarkable all purpose paint made, as it does not crack, peel or become soft and chalky like many of the ready mixed paints do, and thousands of sat isfied customers from the most trying climates testify that this paint wears from 5 to 7 years for outside as well as for inside use. Surely a paint with all these good qualities and at a saving of $1.50 per gallon should cause every property owner to sit up and take notice. A free sample of this paint and full Information can be obtained by calling on or writing John L. White, Sales Agent, 720 Polk St., Topeka, Kansas. THE KISMET The latest fashion fad Is to be photographed In the mirror, and thus bring out all sides of an attractive hat. An Eastern play running in New York is responsible for this style. It has the turban effect, built high in front, with roses and the long stalks of the sprays of smaller flowers droop ing ver the back. BACK TO HOBOKEN. Mrs. I jetty Green, America's Richest Woman, Deserts New lork. New York. March 23. Longing for the friendship of her old neighbors has drawn Mrs. Hetty Green, richest wom an in America, back to her quiet little fiat in Hoboken from the splendid brown stone mansion in East Ninetieth street, where she has been living with her son, Colonel Edward H. R. Green. The explanation given by Colonel Green today was: "Mother never wanted to live in the city. I got her to come with me in the uptown house last August and at first she seemed happy and contented. But she soon grew lonesome for the old friends in Hoboken and all this winter she has been looking forward to the first clays of spring with the view of going back. "There is nothing in New York life to interest my mother. She prefers the simplicity of her apartment and loves to have the old neighbors around in the evening to sit and chat in the good old fashioned way." Mrs. Green's Hoboken home is a $40 fiat in which she entertains her old neighbors at tea two or three times a week and in the evening is either re ceiving callers or visiting at neighbor ing homes. In New York her life was terribly dull. .She never cared for the theater nor would she ever invade so ciety circles. RICHESON IS CHEERFUL Condemned Minister Observes Lent Out of Respect to Cook. Boston, March 23. Gaining weight steadily. Clarence V. T. Rkheson. the former minister who is in jail under sen tence of death for the murder of Avis Linnell. is in better condition both physi cally and mentally than at any time during his confinement. He has gained ten pounds recently. Mention of the date. May in. the beginning of the week during which he is scheduled to die. does not depress him in the least. These observations were made by John W. McGowan. who until recently acted as cook for Richeson and his colored attendant. Butts. "It is customary for Mr. Richeson to leave ti e selection of his food to Butts." said McGowan. "'At one time the min ister did not eat for two days but of late he has been eating well. On Wednesdays and Fridays during Lent he has eaten only eggs, out of regard for Butts who is a Catholic. Richeson has food especially cooked for him because he pays lor it. Much of the time he and Butts play checkers or walk up and down the room, arm in arm. in conversation. One nigl.t not long ago he sat up all night writing. He can send sealed letters out of the jail only to his counsel." The effort to prevent the fulfillment of the sentence of death upon the former minister, which will take the form of a plea for commutation, has the active sup port at present of Attorney William A. Morse and of Douglass Richeson of Chi cago, a brother. John L. Lee. the Vir ginia lawyer, is expected here within short time to assist in the appeal for clemency. This will be based on insanity, it is understood. ANOTHER SALE APRIL 15 Remaining Hoe Library Manuscripts Are of Less Value. New York, March 23. The sale of the third part of the Robert Hoe li brary will begin here on April 15 and twenty afternoon and evening sessions will be necessary to dispose of the books and manuscripts in this section of the collection. Part 1 of the library was sold in April and May, 1911, for $997,366, and the second part brought- $471,619 in January of this year. The third part is numerically equal to each of the other parts but is of somewhat smaller value. It includes thirty-eight manu scripts, mostly dating from the fif teenth century. Mr. Hoe's partiality for fine bindings is shown by more than 100 examples of the work of great binders. A binding by Derome was made fof Marie Antoinette; an other volume bears the arms of Mme. Pompadour, and a third those of Henry III of France. FAVORS WOMEN FANS They Need Not Go Into Saloons After Tickets. St. Louis, March 23.--Mrs. Helen H.

In order that women can buy baseball tickets in the business center, Mrs. Britton ar ranged for the sale of -tickets at a drug store instead of in a saloon as has been the practice. SPRING HAT. PACKERS MAKE 50 PER CENT In Seven Days $2,221 Makes Profit of $20. New York, March 23. That the annual profit of the hig meat com panies in New York City is fully 50 per cent on the capital invested in the purchase, slaughter and market ing of the cattle, is shown by tables submitted to the state food investi gating commission here by George J. Edwards, general manager of Swift and Company's local offices. The tables show, for example, that 29 cattle were bought by Swift and Company in South Omaha for $2,221. They were killed in the Swift stock yards and shipped immediately to this city, arriving December 7, and being sold the same day. The expenses of killing and preparing them was $75. But the hides and other by-products had been sold for $503, reducing the original cost of purchase and killing to $1,794. The meat was sold on ar riving here for $2,04 4. but from this had to be deducted $230 for freight and marketing expenses. The net re turns on the meat of the 29 cattle was thus $1184 and the entire profit of the company from the seven days' transaction and from the investment of the $2,221 was $20. When these figures were first sub mitted most of those who looked them over were inclined to think that Swift and Company- were taking a lot of trouble 1naf to mal.-e tn Rut I the chairman of the commission pointed out that the capital involved was tied up by the transaction for only seven days, and that as the cap ital was kept continually active in similar processes, all the year around, the return on the $2,221 was almost exactly 50 per cent a vear.

It was a free-for-all dance and in ma.iy instances was a free-for-all fight. The street cars found it impossible to make stops near the business dis trict of the city last night on account of the crowds that filled the cars.

According to the committee of the Central Congregational w hich is look ing around for a successor to Dr. Chas. M.

The county assessor's office is one of the busiest places in the court house just at this season of the year. A small army of deputy assessors are hunting a definite and substantial valu ation for Shawnee county property and have been delayed by the cold, wet weather this month. In the country precincts, little or no work has been done and it Is probable that all returns from the assessors will be late. In the Kansas state courts and legis lature, the warring legislators and at torneys apply the fighting word without qu'bbling or loss of breath. In fed eral procedure it i.i different. The ap proved method was demonstrated be fore the interstate commerce commis sion this week by J. R. Koontz.

In a recent fire alarm from the Wolff Packing company the fire departmei.t found that the city water department had allowed a big hydrant in the pack ing house territory to become partially out of immediate service on account of the dirt piled around the plugs.

We have told thm all that we had so satisfactory treatment for cancer for the reason that md!l scientists had as yet failed to find a cure for this terrible disease. We hav also promised these people that a. soon as anyone had a prove! successful treat ment for this dis ease we woulA have It as soon. as it was ob tainable. A few years ago we be gan to hear that radium had proven to be an absolute cure for certain forms of cancer, but a single grain of this remedy was worth many thousands of dollars, an none was obtainable except In Europe. As this price was prohibitive scientists began a search for a new element with similar properties which was ob tainable at a reasonble cost. One sci entists was successful in finding an element which was not radium, but was radioactive or had the same med ical properties as radium.

Motions in the Cope-Lott Mission ary society row will be heard next Tuesday in the second division of tho district court. It is probable that the motions will pave the way for the tak ing of considerable oral testimony con cerning the Cope cases now pending in the state and federal courts. Mrs. Carrie K. Cope, the principal In the church litigation, was herself in court today when preliminary argu ments were made in the Lott case. This action goes to the legality of the acts of the Cope missionary society in the handling of certain trust funds. It was from the bitter contentions over the merits of this case that charges and counter charges have been made and damage suits-aggregating $100,000 have been filed by the Topeka woman. Attorneys for both parties to the Cope-Lott case advised the court to day that they would be prepared to dispose of the action next Tuesday.

"I can't see th' clock f nT ELL, sir," said Mr. Dooley, if -there's A wan thing that St. Pathrick did f'r Ireland that I like betther thin anny thing else 'tis th' day he fixed f'r his birthday. He convarted th' haythen chiefs, 'tis thrue, an' he dhrove out th' snakes, an' a good job he made iv both, but he niver showed his saintly charackter betther thin whin he fixed on th' Sivin teenth iv March Fr his birthday.

I've got to fixa date f'r thim whin it won't be a hardship. It must be a big day that hrry wan'll look for'ard to with hope an' look back on with regret that it's past.' So, bein an injanyous man as well as holy an' well read in th' calendar, he named a day that was sure to fall somewheres in th' middle iv Lent. An' now about this time iv th' year I'm beginnin to get tired iv Lent.

BUILD -i-CONCRETE STAGE Students Will Prepare for Open Air Play in Fall. Annual Performance at Grand Friday, March 29. For the first time in the history of Washburn college dramatics, the student dramatic club will present a play in Topeka with a fair co-ed clad as a boy. In John M. Barrie's "Little Minister," Friday evening March 29, the college actors will feature Miss Carrie McKnight, who takes the part of Micah Don, son of Rob Don. The dramatic club has announced its play to the poker-backed members of the faculty and to all of the in structors along these lines on College hill, but no protest has been register ed and the collegians will stage their play. Miss McKnight is a well known and well liked girl in college, circles and her part promises to be the hit of the play. The performance to be given by the Washburn Dramatic club this spring will be the ninth in the history of the organization. Topeka theater goers and college friends have come to look upon the club's annual plays as one of the real entertainments oi tne theater season. Combined with the local interest the Washburn Dramatic club always has presented a high class and well acted play. Even in the former days of the Dramatic club when the members were chosen for their popularity in the college, the plays were excellently featured and presented. The ciud has adopted a new custom of making it necessary for all members to qual ify for membership by readings or speaking: before the head of the col leee dramatic department. In this manner the club picks the best talent from the college for the annual plays. Gift for the College. The Washburn Dramatic club is not a financial institution. luvery cent above the expenses of the annual per formances goes to the college. The club presents the college with a gift purchased from the earnings of the plays. The immense stone gates at the head of the College avenue were given to the college by the Dramatic club. With the nroceeds from the play the last of this month the club will build a concrete stage for the out of door performances of Shakespearean plays. Last fall the dramatic club gave "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the oDen air and the performance proved so popular that the club will give a similar play every fall. A concrete stage is the first move toward a per manent theater at the college. The annual dramatic club perform ances are looked forward to as one of. the leading social entertainments or spring college life at Washburn. The fraternities ana literary societies give line parties to the show. The faculty organizes for its protection and occu pies a seotion in tne nouse. me Grand is always crowded. The cast this year includes a num ber of well known college people. The cast follows: Cast of Plav. Garin Dishart Warren J. Crumbine Lord Rintorll Carl Hathaway Captan Hallowell Earl Bush Bob Don.

"The Daughters of Heaven," Title of New Celestial Offering. Modern China's first pretentious pre sentation on the stage is to be brought about by the Liebler Co., according to an announcement juat made by the head of the firm, George C. Tyler, who leaves this morning on the Mauretanla for Eng land and the continent. With the de parture of Mr. Tyler also comes official word of the immediate future of the Cen tury theater, the lease of which has been extended to him by the New theater di rectorate. "The Garden of Allah" will be continued at the Central Park West play house, for the rest of this season, and will make its entry into Chicago In the early part of the new theatrical year, playing the engagement at the Audi torium. "A famous foreign attraction will be staged at the Century for a limited time, starting with the new season," said Mr. Tyler, "and Immediately following tlva presidential election, we shall make our annual Century theater production, with what I consider the most remarkable combination of spectacular splendor an'l human interest I have ever read, 'The Daughter of Heaven,' by Pierre Loti and Judith Gautier, a granddaughter of Theo dore Gautler. 'The Daughter of Heaven," as the name suggests, is the empress of the Chinese, and the four acts of the play concern themselves with the conflict tlnat has been going on for so long between the Manchu and Ming dynasties. The title role will be played by an actress of international fame, but, for the present we have agreed to withhold announce ment of her name. "At the same time we are producing The Daughter of Heaven' at the Century, Sir Herbert Tree will be making a Lon don production of the same play at His Majesty's theater, and for this English presentation Miss Neilson Terry has been engaged far the role of the Empress. Tne English adaptation has been made for both countries by George Egerton. "The scenes are laid in and around Pe- j kin and in another section of China, and, to get the exact atmosphere or the lo cale, as described by M. Loti and Mile. Gautier, we are sending a representative of our firm .to Asia." MONEY MADE IN THIS GARDEN. Nearly $40,000 Receipts From "The Garden of Allah." The Liebler Co. recently issued a num ber of figures in connection with the business done at the Century theater dur ing the first 165 performances of "The Garden of Allah" at that playhouse.

These figures are obtained from the daily box office count up or statements. The fact that almost one-half of the total sales have been ef fected through the out-of-town mail order bureau, the box offices in Chicago, Phila delphia, Boston and Newark, seems to in dicate that ''The Garden of Allah" has been accepted as a national institution, and one of the sights of the city. The play has been seen by more people dur ing one uninterrupted engagement in a single theater than any other theatrical attraction in the. history of the stage. BUT HE PAID THE SPEED FINE Anecdote Told on Jack Barrymore, a Comedy Star. Back of the Jailing of Jack Barry more, the new star of "Half a Hus band," for denting the speed laws, lies an interesting commentary on the depths to which the sons of the great can and frequently do sink. After the actor had been arrested, he was questioned by the motor po liceman. "What is your name?" "My name is Barrymore." "What initials?" "J." "Standing for James?" "No, for John." "The actor?". "Yes." "Hum! Ask' for me when you come to Morrisania court tomorrow, and I'll have it made as light as pos sible. My name's Donovan." So Barrymore, in the morning, asked for Donovan, who greeted him with "Say! My old man gave me hell for pinching yeu. It seems he and your old man used to box together years ago." "Who is your old man?" asked Mr. Barrymore. "Mike Donovan, the sparring in structor. He was awful close to your old man." But they fined Barrymore $10 just the same. LET THE WOMEN DO THE WORK New Departure In Hurlbut's Play, "Half a Husband." In "Half a Husband," the new com edy In which the Liebler company will make an individual star of John Barrymore, the author, W. J. Hurl but, has made a notable departure in DRAMA IN KONSTANTI N Fraulein Leopoldine whose art and striking Konstantin, personality have fascinated two continents. The Relnhardt players, who are presenting in America the most novel drama of recent years, "Sumurun," have estab lished the fact that even on the stage actions may be made to speak louder than words. During the entire per A 3 J nR.t10WARXL GOULD that the women in the cast predomi nate. "Usually," said Mr. Hurlbut yester day, in discussing this phase of his latest work, "a cast is made up of about the proportion of seven men to three women, and always you will find a greater number of women than men crowding the theatrical agencies in search of jobs. I don't think this is the right idea at all, at least for posing a feminine -display as possible, comedies. We ought to have as im and this is distinctly up to the au thors. In 'Half a Husband' there are eleven of the attractive sex and only half a dozen males, and this is about the right proportion, to my way of thinking." The elect eleven engaged to sup port Mr. John Barrymore are Emily Stevens, Louise Closser Hale, Jessie Busley, Olive May, Katharine Harris, Maud Leslie, Louise Rial, Jean Ca dell, Molly McDono, Georgia Mai Fursman and Doreen Wilkin.

The men who are to take part in the minstrel to be given at the Grand next Thursday night by members of the colored T. M. C A., are rehears ing dally. The minstrel promises to be one of the best amateur shows ever given in Topeka. The first part includes songs by some of the best singers of the west. The olio, or sec ond part is full of wit and humor. The burlesque of Jack Johnson's training stunts will be one of the in teresting and amusing features. The Burtons, who will give a comedy sketch, have been on the stage for a number of years, appearing in the principal cities of the country. The Possum Hunt club will be seen hold ing one of its regular meetings. The PANTOMIME. formance not a word is spoken and yet the audiente is held in breathless wonder throughout the entire per formance. The play is being enacted' in America by the original cast of Ger man players, under the direction of Herr Reinhardt. The story is woven around a beautiful slave of fatal en chantment, which latter part is taken by Fraulein Leopoldine Konstantln. i Rumor has for several years cou pled the name of Howard Gould with Kathryn Hutchinson. They have been constantly together, although alwa j s accompanied by a chaperon. Miss Hutchinson is a tall, stately queenly blonde, conspicuous wherever she goea. It is said that Mr. Gould has tried to reconcile his wife to a divorce by offers of large sums of money, but money will not appease her bitterness toward her husband and she holds with determination not to give him his liberty. club is entertaining a distinguished guest, and many funny incidents oc cur.

A young lady assuming the role of a boy is a new experiment for the Washbur.1 Dramatic club and "is seldom done- in college productions. Miss McKnight has shown ability to carry her part with success.
