Ismay Sits and Draws Sketches of White Star Flag. Washington, April 22. Vice Presi dent P. A. S. Franklin, of the Interna tional Mercantile Marine company, told the senate investigation commit tee today how he had asked to have the earlier reports of the Titanic dis aster held up to avoid unnecessary alarm. He denied any knowledge of the message addressed to Representa tive Hughes o(Wca Virginia about the ship's being towed to Halifax, and gave other details. Senator Wm. Al don Smith of Michigan presided. After denying that officials of the White Star line had any knowledge of a misleading telegram to Mr. Hughes it waa acknowledged by Mr. Franklin that he had issued reassur ing statements when he had no facts on which to base them. The witness read from a great sheaf of wireless telegrams received Wednesday morn ing. Xone of them contained any in formation of value, but it was on these daia that the line issued its statement in an effort, said Mr. Franklin, to re assure inquirers. Later, when the news came, he said, he sent immediately for the reporters and proceeded to begin reading to them the long Mareonigrams from the Carpathia, giving the grewsome news in considerable detail. "I beeun to read: ''Titanic went down this morning st 2:20,' and then I looked up, said Mr. Franklin. "There was not a re porter in the room. They were all racing for telephones to get the news out to the world." Bit bv bit Mr. Franklin contributed to the ei-idence the senate is seeking to throw light on the catastrophe that sunk the Titanic, sent almost 1,600 persons to their death and plunged the world into mourning. In Xew Caucus Room. The inuuiry christened the luxuri ous caucus room of the senate,, regard ed as perhaps the handsomest legisla tive hearing room in the world. In its center sat the sub-committee with Wm. Allien Smith of Michigan presid ing: Jammed about the long table which the committee occupied were witnesses and spectators. Among them were senators and representa tives and their wives. Baron von Hen-gel-Muller, the Austrian ambassador, and other representatives of diplomat ic and official circles, and many wom en, mostly drawn from the national gathering of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Hours before the resumption of the inquiry crowds swarmed tc the senate office building and made a rush for the caucus room Hundreds were women, and as in the Titanic disaster, it was "women first" who were admitted to the hearing. Cap itol police admitted to the hearing. Cap and by 10 o'clock there were no avail able seats and standing room was ex hausted, even senators and representa tives who sought places of vantage for their families were unsuccessful. Wil liam Alden Smith, chairman of tin subcommittee, reached the building late and went into conference with Senators New-lands, Burton, Perkins j Simons and Fletcher. Ismay Not Recognized. J. Bruce Ismay arrived with P. A. S. Franklin and had difficulty getting in. He identified himself to a police officer and was ushered into seats re served for witnesses. By the time the senators were readj to proceed there was great confusion Many of the crowd turned away, went to the other rooms in the senate offlc building and climbed out on balconies. Then when the great French windows of the hearing room were opened they climbed to the railings to look over the heads of the crowd within. Mr. Ismay, as he fat talking to his attorney. C. C. Burlingame and Vict President Franklin, appeared wan anc" hagzard. After Senator Smith had cautioned the crowd against demonstration J. S. Foxhall. fourth oiheer of the Titanic and one of the four officers to survive the disaster, was called as the nisi witness. There had been a long delay before the first witness took the stand. Mr. Ismay seated at the end of the long table, chatted with J. P. Kierlein, one of the officials of the White Star line Incessantly he drew upon a sheet ol Taper he had taken from the press table. The sketch was always tht White Star flag, such a (lag as was flown at the peak of the Titanic. Mr. Franklin whs questioned closely regarding the efforts of the Whitt Star line to obtain definite news ol the Titanie's sinking. He said tha the following: wireless message flnall was received from the Olympic on April 15. Tlie First News. 'Parisian reports Carpathia in at tendance, picked up 20 boats with pas sengers and Baltic returning. Positioi not given. Haddock, Olympic' The reassuring statement sent oat by the line in the early hours of the disaster next were made the subject of inquiry. "Tell the committee on what you based those statements?'' directed Smith. "We based them on reports and ru mors received at Cape Race by indi viduals and by the newspapers. They were rumors and we could not place our finger on anything authentic." "Had you heard from the Carpathia at that time?" "Xo, sir." Mr. Franklin declared the Olympic was sent this message: 'Haddock, Olympic: Rumored here Titanic sunk. Can. not confirm here. Expect Virginian alongside. Frank nn "At 2:40 p. m. we wired Haddock to j endeavor to ascertain the whereabouts I of Mr. Ismay and to advise ua as soon as possible," continued Franklin. "We foUowed thls dispatch with another to j Haddock in which we urged: 'Do your utmost to ascertain condition of Ti tanic: advise us f ullv disDositlon Ti tanic's passengers and where they will j De lanaea More in oetall. "At 6:20 or 6:30 Monday evening Mr. irrankiin continued, a message was received telling the tateful new that the Carpathia reached the Titan ic and found nothing but boats an wreckage; that the Titanic had foun dered at 2:20 a. m. in 41.16 north 50.14 west; that the Carpathia pick ed up all the boats and had on board about 675 Titanie's survivors, passen gers and crew. This message was from Haddock also. "It was such a terrible shock that it took me several moments to think what to do. Then I telephoned two of our directors, Mr. Steel and Mr. P. Morgan, jr. Then I went down stairs to the reporters. I began to read the message, holding it high i my hand. I had read only to the sec ond line, which said that the Titanic had sunk when there was not a repor ter left. They were so anxious to get to the telephones. After that we got another message from Haddock stat ing mat -lamsi,' meaning ismay, was on the Carpathia." Mr. Franklin then explained how the company wired the Olympic to get the names of the survivors and to stand by and relay them from th Carpathia. "I want to say that during the en tire day on Monday after our first messages concerning the Titanic we considered the Titanic absolutely un sinkable. We never dreamed of such a thing and that there had been los of life never entered our minds until we got Haddock's awful message at 6:30 that evening." One by one Mr. Franklin read tele grams that had been sent through the air from shore to ships and from them back to the anxious ones on shore. When Hope Was Lost. All hope that some other vessel be sides the Carpathia had picked up some of the Titanie's survivors was dismissed when the Olympic flashed word that neither the Baltic nor the Tunisian had any of the Titanic peo pie aboard. Senator Smith then sought to discover who had been tarn pering with the wireless operators or had been responsible for the failure of the wireless to get the news to shore earlier. Air. Smith repeatedly asked the wit ness whether he had not had a con ference Monday morning with Mr. Marconi or Mr. Sam mis, chief en gineer for the Marconi company. "No, most emphatically," said the witness. "In no way did I attempt or cause to be attempted any censorship of the wireless." "When you went aboard the Carpathia when she docked Thursday night," suggested Senator Smith, "did you see either Mr. Marconi, Mr. Sammis or the wire less operators?" "Xo, I did not. I went directly to the captain's room and asked to be shown to Mr. Ismay's room. He took me there. I talked with no one else. Senator Smith inquired whether the witness was familiar with the work ings of the wireless on the ships line and if he knew what were the safety precautions on the same ships. "No," he said, "we really are only agents of the line in America." "Do you know of any chart or doc ument showing the equipment or safe ty appliances on the Titanic? "I know of none." Cost of the Titanic. Asked about insurance, Mr. Frank lin said the company always carried insurance on ships. "What was the cost of the Titanic?" "One million five hundred and some odd pounds," said Franklin. "Including all equipment? "Yes. Its tonnage capacity," he added, "was 46,328 gross, thelargest ever built." Senator Smith said he thought the data regarding the stability of the ship in loaded and damaged conditions should be furnished the committee and Mr. Franklin said he would try to get the figures. Senator Smith ask ed the witness what efforts were made to get the names of the third class passengers. "We made every effort to get them," said Mr. Franklin. "Did you receive at any time from any one a request that the Cedric be held at New York until the arrival of the Carpathia?" "Yes." "What time was it received?" "At 5:19," said the witness, who said the telegram asked that the Cedric be held because the sender con sidered it "most desirable" that the members of the crew be sent back on the Cedric and declaring his inten tion of sailing on that ship himself. The sender also asked clothing and shoes be brought to the dock for him when the Carpathia got in. "By whom was that signed?" asked Smith. "Yamsi." "Do you know who Yamsi is?" "Yes. sir; it's cipher for Mr. Ismay. I sent in replv the following: 'Yamsi, Carpathia: Have arranged forward crew- Lapland, sailing Saturday, call ing at Plymouth. All consider most unwise to delay Cedric considering circumstances. Franklin.' Mr. Franklin denied that the White Star company had any intention to spirit away from the country any Ti tanic officers or crews or that plans to return the survivors of the crew were prompted by any desire to sup press the facts. He said that nothing that the officers or crew could tell would affect what might be told by t-urvivine passengers. Many Bodies Unidentified. St. John, April 22 The work of pick ing up bodies of the rietims of the Ti tanic was continued today by the cable steamer Mackay-Bennett, according to wireless dispatches received here. Most of the bodies cannot be identi fied because clad only in sleeping gar ments. A number of bodies have been identified arid placed in coffins. GAMES POSTPONED.

Bride testified that Phillips, the chief wireless operator told the Frankfurt wireless man he was a fool nd had better keep out. ti, TP-5inkfiirt. he said, was first to answer the Titanie's signals of distress. The reason no details were given the German ship, Bride said, was that they believed her operator couia not uuuci- stand.

SHERIFFS GET BUSY. Hear That Sidna Allen and Edwards Are in Southern California. Los Angeles, April 22. Word that the fugitive leaders of the Allen gang from Carroll county, Virginia, were headed for Southern California, if not already here, has created much activity in the sheriffs' offices in this part of the state. The sheriffs recently received private advices that Sidna Allen -and Wesley Edwards were thought to have started several weeks ago for southern Califor nia, where they had friends. The police here believe they have arrived. Trial Begins Tomorrow Roanoke, April 22. Under strong guard the seven Hillsville prisoners who have been in jail here since their arrest for connection with the assas sination in the Carroll county court, started for Hillsville today. In the little court room where the shooting of Judge Massie, Attorney Forster, Sheriff Webb and Miss Betty Ayers took place, the men will be placed on trial tomorrow. Floyd Allen, the first man arrested, still is suffering from a broken leg, but was taken back to face the charges against him. With Victor Allen, Byrd Marion, Sidna Ed wards, Claude S. Allen and Friel Al len he is under indictment for mur der. John Moore, the seventh prisoner is under indictment for felony, the charge being that he assisted the Al iens to escape. Sidna Allen and Wes ley Edwards still are at large. BUD FISHER WEDS. Mutt and Jeff Artist Elopes Vaudeville Actress. Witli New York, April 22. It became known today that "Bud" Fisher, the cartoonist, had become a benedict. Despite the fact that he has for some time been fully aware of the marital troubles of a close friend of his, one MUTT, he deliberately embarked on the sea of matrimony via the elope ment route. The young woman with whom Mr. Fisher booked passage for the life trip was Miss Pauline Welch, a pretty little blonde vaudeville actress. The wed ding took place Friday night and while neither of the elopers told any body where they were going on their honeymoon, it is believed they are well on- their way to San Francisco now. The news of the wedding came as a surprise to Mr. Fisher's friends. He had apartments at 610 West One Hun dred and Sixteenth street where he was equipped to live the life of a con firmed bachelor. Mrs. Fisher lived at the Hotel Bristol with her mother. Mrs. Welch knew nothing of the plans of her daughter to wed and the news came as a shock to her. Through the vigilance of a very zealous and conscientious hotel clerk, no one was permitted to see her. She did talk to several persona over the telephone, however. The report of the marriage was confirmed. Mrs. Welch seemed greatly concerned about Mr. Fisher's first name. She said she did not believe it was "Bud" but she did not have any idea what it was.

2 THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOTONAE APRIL 22, 1912 POLITICAL GOSSIP Roosevelt Has the Lead Kansas delegates. in Leaders Now Claim They AVill Get 18 for Colonel. SAY THAT HiS TRIP HELPED Insurgent Leaders Believe It Clinched Three Districts. Got: Stubbs Goes to Marion to Make Speeches. With twenty-nine counties out of 105 heard from, Roosevelt only needs about 200 delegates to control the Kansas state convention at Independ ence next month. The colonel has car ried twenty-two out of twenty-nine counties and has 239 delegates while Taft has 117. County primaries and caucuses this week will settle it. The Roosevelt men are claiming eighteen out of the state's delegation of twenty to Chicago. The First district has al ready selected two Taft delegates. The follcwing is the lineup of the counties that have named delegates to Independence: For Roosevelt Allen. 14: Bourbon, 12; Brown. 12: Butler, 13; Doniphan, 10: Douglas, 14: Finney, 5; Franklin, 12; Gray. 3: Greenwood, 11: Jackson, 10- Jefferson, 10; Johnson. 10: Kearny, 1; Marshall. 14: Xcmaha, 13: Osage, 12; Pawnee. 5: Scott, 2; Wabaunsee, S; Washington, 12. Wyandotte, 36. Total. 239. For Taft Atchison. 14; Cowley, la: Crawford. 22: Dickinson. 13: Kearny, 2; Leavenworth. 20; Shawnee, 31. It is claimed by th Roosevelt mana gers that the colonel's trip through the state put Taft out of the running in the Fifth. Seventh and Eitrhth congres sional districts. T'le regulars will still fight for the Sixth and Third districts and hope to win in the Sixth and ex pect to win in the Third. Governor Ftubbs left this morning for Marion county where he will spend the dav making speeches. He leaves Tue.sdav for the west, opening with a speech in Reno couuty at a Roosevelt rally. Earl Akers. the governor's execu tive clerk, had an interesting experi ence in a Fifth district county the other day while making a campaign for Roosevelt. He got hold of a farm er and converted him to the Roosevelt doctrines and expected to use him as the foundation stone upon which to build up a township for T. R. But th man was too ambitious. He placed too high a valuation upon his services and ability. He wanted Akers to promise him that he should be one of the Big tour ueiegaies ai wise num Kansas to the Chicago convention. In a town in that same county Akers saw a beautiful scrap between two old soldiers of the Civil war. One of these men came to to n wearing a Roosevelt button. He met a comrade who was a Taft man. The Taft sup porter plucked the Roosevelt button from its buttonhole. The Roosevelt man smote the Taft man iff the eye with his clenched fist and the fight was on. The old warriors were sepa rated before they hurt each other very much. The Leavenworth Times is trying to make capital out of the campaign canard that Judge Stuart, who is An thonv's opponent for the Republican nomination for congress in the First district, tried to throw Roosevelt at the Atcijson convention. There is nothing to it. The State Journal rep resentative at the Atchison convention attended the Stuart caucuses and heard the Stuart plans for a conven tion fight. Stuart had five counties and he used them to fight the Anthony endorsement and vote against the Taft delegates. The State Journal was quot ed hv the Leavenworth Times to bear out "its assertions. It is only fair to state that Judge Stuart acted on the; square as a Roosevelt progressive ai the Atchison convention. In fact, Judge Stuart urged the caucus to vote for T. R. to a finish and never mind whether or not that action hurt his candidacy. OUTFORA RECORD. Continued from Pag One. The survivors who were taken to hos pitals or their arrival hrre on the Car pathia are now practically all recovered and many of them have left for their homes. Relief societies have gathered funds aggregating more than a quarter of a million dollars and the relief com- mittees have been swamped with cloth ing. Not only that but countless let ters were received, all offering assist ance of every sort. Lifeboats Only Half Filled. That many o'f the lifeboats of the Ti tanic were sent away only half filled and that if Captain fjmith's orders had been obeyed many more lives would have been saved, has been disclosed by Peter D. Daly, of Lima. Peru, a first cabin survivor. Daly states he saw tha captain rush to the railing after the boats had been put out of the sinking ship and call "brinrr those boats back, they are only half full." How many boats obeyed the captain's order to re turn. Mr. Daly was unable to tell. John Thompson, a fireman of the Ti tanic, suffering with a broken arm at St. Vincent's hospital, may be an im portant witness at the senatorial in vestigation Into the wreck. Thompson comes from Liverpool and he asserts that the Titanic was out "to beat all records on maiden trips." "From Queenstown out." Thompson is quoted as saying, "all the firemen had been talking of the orders we had to fire her up as hard as we poss;bly could. We were to make as quick pas sage as possible the orders ran. I heard that these orders came from the engin eering department. "We were carrying full pressure. From the time we left Queenstown un til the moment of the shock we never ceased to make from 75 to 77 revolu tions. During that whole Sunday we had been keeping up the 77." More Icebergs Seen. New York, April 22. The Anchor line steamer Cameronia, which ar rived early today from Glasgow, en countered large icebergs in latitude 41.27 longitude- 48.06 on April 18. Nothing was seen of the wreckage of the Titanic. Slessage From Cable 8 hi p. New York. April 22. The White Star line announced this afternoon that it had received the following wire less message from the cable ship Mackay-Bennett, which is on the scene of the Titanic disaster, searching for bodies: "Heavy southwest squall has inter fered with operations. Fifty bodies recovered. All not embalmed will be buried at sea at 8 p. m. with divine services. Can bring only emblamed bodies to port." WHY NEWS WAS HELD CP. It Was Done on Orders From the Marconi Oflice. New York, April 22. It is admitted at the offices of the Marconi Wireless company that T. W. Sam mis, chief engineer of the Marconi company of America, sent a wireless to the Car pathia as she was coming into port, telling the Marconi operators to hold the story of the Titanic disaster "for dollars in four figures." This message read: "Stop. Say nothing. Hold your story for dollars in four figures. Mr. Marconi agree ing. Will meet you at dock." The message was addressed to "Marconi Officer, the Carpathia and Titanic," and was signed by Mr. Sam mis, who added his official title. John V. Bottomley, president of the Marconi company defended the mes sage by saying it was a perfectly le gitimate transaction. He said it was not sent until Thursday night. He said he did not know anything about two or more messages said to have been sent to the wireless operators on the Carpathia, telling them tj "hold the story." The first message, unsigned, read: "Keep mouth shut. Hold story. Big money for you." The second message, likewise "Un signed, read: "If you are wise, hold story. The Marconi company will take care of you. Mr. Bottomley said that the New York office tried hard to obtain news of the disaster. "On Monday night," he said, "we wired the Carpathia to send five hun dred words of reliable news for the public, but it was never sent, because of the censorship of the Carpathia's captain. Mr. Bottomley said the only news received was the bare list of names. which was given out as fast as it came in. He was chagrined to think that the "Tumsl" messages ha.l been inter cepted. He seemed to think it was a breach of etiquette. NO OXE CLAIMS CHILDREN. Relatives May Be Found When Pas senger List Arrives. New York. April 22. No one has yet appeared who could identify the twe children saved from the Titanic by Miss Margaret Hays, but R. L. Neill, New York agent for the Children's Aid society, is reasonably sure their father was a Mr. Hoffman who lost his life in the disaster. The only passenger list Mr. Neill has been able to obtain there appears among the second cabin passengers the entry: "Mr. Hoffman and two children.' Mr. Neill hopes that the original list which probably will be received here on Tuesday, will give further information and solve the question of the identity of the little ones, who speak French and obviously are of foreign birth. Mr. Neill recalled the story told by some of the rescued passengers that in the midst of the excitement a man ran ur. to one of the lifeboats and started to lift the two children into it. He was warned that there was no room for him' and replied that he did not want to go but begged that the children be taken along. This man was Mr. Hoff man. Mr. Neill believes. The children, whose names are sup posed to be Lola and Louis, are still at the home of Frank K. Hays, where they were taken by Miss Hays. They seem not the least homesick. Home Ready, family Drowned. Pittsburg, Pa., April 22. With a new home furnished ready to receive his family, John Panula. a native of Fin land, living at Coal Center, near here has received news that his wife, five sons, and one daughter, had gone down with the Titanic.

Thomas Whiteley, one of the survivors of the Titanic's crew, who is now in St. Vin cent's hospital suffering from frozen and lacerated feet, has been placed in touch with a relative whom he counts upon to aid him in his present desti tute condition. Whiteley received a telegram from Providence last night asking him if he was the Thomas Whiteley of London who had an uncle in this country by the same name. Tt was signed "Thomas Whitely." The patient then recalled that he had an uncle by that name who came to America some years ago. and immediately replied: "Yes, come at once." TALKS BASEBALL.

TRACTS ARE IN Desire for Suburban Homes Be comes Greater Eyery Year. Parks Increase Value of Prop erty Almost 30 Per Cent. That several thousand dollars will be spent this year in the development of real estate in the west portion of Topeka and vicinity, that more real estate transfers are made in that por tion of the city, that more homes are built there than any other place in Topeka, is the candid and business like statement of one of the most suc cessful business men in Topeka, a man who has made money in this city by buying real estate In line with the city's development. Another gratifying feature of the investment in Topeka property to the west is. that many young people. Just starting out in life, teachers who must save their money carefully, ladies who have no one upon whom they may de pend, are making these investments. Probably the greatest activity to be found In Topeka this year is in the vicinity of Pinehurst. Four sales of estates in that place have been re ported just recently. Miss Caroline Morton, 1100 West street, a teacher in the North Quincy street school, To peka, has purchased Brentwood Es tate, located at the corner of Eighth and Medford road. Miss Morton's estate is already beautifully shaded by the magnificent elms growing along Pinehurst creek. Brentwood is one of the prettiest estates in Pine hurst. Harry Rehkopf, the youngest of the Rehkopf brothers, carriage manufac turers, closed the deal last week for Palisade Estate, one of the beautiful sloping tracts just west of Summit street on Eighth avenue. Mr. Reh kopf purchased the estate because of the splendid possibility o'f realising a handsome profit on the tract as de velopment Is pushed this year and next. Two business men who have recent ly purchased Pinehurst estates are Mr. David H. Freidman, who selected Maywood Estate on Kenova road, and Mr. R. W. Wilson of 634 Madison street, purchaser of Evron Estate. Maywood is a high and sightly estate between Seventh and Eighth avenue and one of the farthest west tracts. Mr. Wilson, who is connected with the Capital Iron Works, chose Evron Estate because of the fact that it faces Eight avenue and is just west of Sum mit street, practically up adjoining tne city. Many other persons are building and developing beautiful tracts in the im mediate vicinity of Pinehurst among mediate vicinity of Pinehurst. Among these is Dr. isva Harding, who will have one of the most exclusive and picturesque homes in the capital city complted on her splendid tract of ground joining Pinehurst on the west and south. The city has appropri ated money for the care and develop ment of Pinehurst park just south of Sixth street and east of Washburn avenue. Much trouble and moey is ex pended each year in the care of Gage's park lying to the west of Pinehurst and to which thousands go annually. Many private tracts between Sixth and Eighth avenues and west of Summit street are now being rapidly trans formed into veritable parks -yet beauti ful, comfortable, modern homes will be erected on them before the sum mer is ended. These park-like improvements add value to real estate In West Topeka and about Pinehurst. Small tracts outside of Pinehurst have been bought up and held at strong values, however none to high, considering the trend of development and the constant de mand for suburban property. TITANIC WAS ON FIRE. From Day She Sailed Cntil Slie Went Down. New York, April 22. The White Stai liner Titanic was on fire from the day it sailed from Southampton. Its offi cers and crew knew it, for they had fought the fire for days. This may ex plain in part the speed at which the doomed liner was rushing across the Atlantic. This story, told for the first time by the survivors of the crew, who were seen back to England on board the Red Star liner Lapland, was only one of the many thrilling tales of the first and last voyage of the Titanic. "The Titanic sailed from Southampton on Wednesday, April 10, at noon," said J. Dilley, fireman on the Titanic, who lives at 21 Milton road, Newlngton London, North, and who sailed with 15C other members of the Titanic's crew on the Lapland. "I was assigned to the Titanic from the Oceanic, where I had served as a fireman. From the day we sailed the Titanic was on fire, and my sole duty, together with eleven other men, had been to fight that fire. We had made no headway against it. "Of course, sir," he went on, "the passengers knew nothing of the fire. Do you think, sir, we'd let them know about It? No, sir. "The fire started in bunker No. 6. There were hundreds of tons of coal stored there. The coal on top of the bunker was wet, as all of the coal should have been, but down at the bottom of the bunker the coal was dry. The coal at the bottom of the bunker took fire, sir, and smoldered for days. The wet coal on top kept the flames from coming through, but down In the bottom of the bunker, sir, the flames were raging. "Two men from each watch of stok ers was tolled off, sir, to fight that fire. The stokers, you know, sir, work four hours at a time, so twelve of us was fighting the flames from the day we put out of Southampton till we hit the iceberg. "No, sir. we didn't get that fire out. And among the stokers there was talk. sir. that we'd have to emp ty the coal bunkers after we'd put out passengers off In New York and then call the fireboats there to help us put out the fire. "But we didn't need such help. It was right under bunker No. 6 that the Iceberg tore the biggest hole in the Titanic, and the flood that came through the Titanic put out the fire that our tons and tons of water hadn't been able to get rid of. "The stokers were beginning to get alarmed over it, but the officers told us to keep our mouths shut. They didn't want to alarm the passengers." Another fireman said that because of the fire the ship sank more rapidly than otherwise would have been the case. "It had been necessary to take the coal out of sections two and three on the starboard side forward," he said "and when the water came rushing in after the collision the bulkheads would not hold because they did not have the supporting weight or the coal. "Somebody reported to Chief Engi neer Bell that the forward bulkhead had given way and he replied: 'My God, we are lost.' WEATHER RECORD.

Wells of Williamsburg Fell From Car. Speed Had Tpt Been Slackened for Stop. A miraculous escape from death was the experience of B. M. Wells, of Wil liamsburg, when .he accidentally fell from the platform of a street car Sat urday night. The accident occurred near the corner of. Harrison and Tenth streets. The intention of the conductor being to stop the car at Harrison street. When Mr. Wells fell to the street the speed of the car had not yet been slackened tor the corner. Evidently the man stumbled, when coming out of the car upon the platform, and fell to the pavement, striking head fore most, and inflicting a more or less seri ous scalp wound, but fortunately the skull was not fractured. Mr. Wells caught a westbound street car, thinking it toi be a West Twelfth car, however, after learning of his mis take, decided to walk the distance from Tenth to Twelfth and Harrison streets where Mr. Stone' who is a son-in-law of the injured man, resides. It war but a few minutes after the accident occurred, that an ambulance arrived on the scene, taking the man to St. Fran cis hospital, where he received prompt medical attention. There seemed to be a goodly sup ply of "medicine men" on the scene at the time of the accident: Dr.'s J. G. Stewart, A. M. Dawson and L. V. Sams, all were standing on the back platform of the same car, from which Mr. Wells had fallen. Hence, as would be sup posed, the above named physicians im mediately got busy. Mr. Wells, who Is about 50 years of age, and weighing 215 pounds, was an unusually strong man, which fact will have much to do with his rapid recov ery. He was dismissed from the hos pital this morning, and returned to his home in Williamsburg. SHORTAGE OF PASTORS Presbyterians Have Fifty Kansas Churches Without Preachers. There Is a shortage of preachers in the Presbyterian churches in Kansas and in fact all over the country, ac cording to the statements made by the Rev. A. B. Marshall, president of the Omaha Theological seminary in speak ing at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning. "There are 50 Presbyterian churches in Kansas without a minister," he said. "The home board wants 1.000 more ministers to do its work. We see not where they are to be found for the great work In the home land. There is great need of more men to teach the people of our land the truths of the Christian religion. There are less than one-half of the people In our country that we thin!; of as a Christian nation who are not Christians." sixIreIeaTnow. Investigation Ordered After Death of Youngest Child.

The rovery had its origin in dispatches telling of a bullish outlook, as to -field conditions in Nebraska. Aban doned acreage was declared to be as bad as in Ohio and Indiana.

Cap tain Inman Sealby, who was com mander of the steamer Republic when she was rammed by the Florida, would make congress responsible for lives of travelers1 on the ocean. "I believe that by way of reducing the possibility of such tremendous disasters as that which overtook the Titanic," said Captain Sealby, "in creased lifeboat facilities should be added to the passenger steamers and that water tight bulkheads should be constructed as strong as the hull it self. "I would recommend, first, that the commanders of the North Atlantic steamers be ordered by their owners to go south of the ice track and al ways to travel slowly in a fog. Any infringement of this should be met with instant dismissal. "Second, the government should hold the owners of ships responsible in seeing that the orders are carried out to the letter at all times, any fail ure of which would result In the with drawal of their passenger carrying li cense. "Third, the people of the country should hold their representatives in congress resoonsible or liable for the ship owners carrying out these pro visions, failing which the representa tives themselves should be compelled to resign their seats. "The structural alteration of steam ers and carrying out of the require ments would mean additional cost to ship owners and this cost would have to be met by the public. A passage that can be bought today for $50, would cost $150." MASSACHUSETTS FIGHT The Week Promises to Be a Lively One In Politics. Boston. April 22.

New York, April 22 STOCKS Securities on the stock market went to a geenral level of lower prices in the forenoon today. The Titanic disaster and the more critical stage of the dispute be tween the railway managers and the en gineeers governed sentiment. Trading fell to unimportant proportions in the noon hour. Bonds were irregular. Narrow flucuations and increasing dull ness were the dominant features of the market in the noon hour. The undertone remained heavy especially in the Cop pers, and interest centered almost alto gether in the result of the conference of teh railway managers and their engineers. Pittsburg Coal preferred went up 3 and American Snuff 3 points. The threatened strike of the eastern lo comotive engineers was reflected in the irregular tendency of the stock market at the opening. Most of the active issues opened with declines, those being offset, however, by material advances in the specialties. One point gains were made in Pittsburg Coal preferred, Sear-Roebuck and Interborough-Metropolitan preferred. United States Steel, Union Pacific and the leading Copper stocks sold fractionally under Saturday's level. Dealings were moderate. Reading made a vigorous upward spurt late in the day, touching 165, or 2 points above its early lowest. Lehigh Valley also rallied to above last weeks closing figures, but there was little doing in the rest of the list. Buying of the coal stocks seem ed to be based on an asumption that soon there will be a favorable outcome of the negotiations with the miners. Xv York Produce Market. New York, April 22.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIi APRIL 22, 1912 KAWS TAKE BOTH Saturday and Sunday Contests lYon by Locals. Jlmmie Durham Made Gears lYork for It. CHANGES BATTING ORDER Hughes Shifts Lineup for Big Sunday Crowd. l uxate Makes Fire-Inning Bow to Topeka Fans. For Sunday's contest Manager Huphes shook up his batting order, tending Mee up first and making vari ous other changes. The new order of things didn't take any better than the old. in fact hardly as well. For the locals won handily by the score of 2 to 1. The hits were evenly divided iind the ocals played errorless baU while the Doggies annexed a brace of bad ones. Most of the way our friend and schoolmate, Jimmie "Bull" Durham, had us on his hip. It was well th locals opened strong. It is also wel.' they didn't allow the Witches to get in the lead. But they didn't and there bv hangs the joyful story. Rickert drew a single on the first deal. Gardner bet a two bagger ana llickert was home. He scored wher Hughes threw the ball into the first base paddock trying to get King on what looked to be an easy out. From that time until the last half of the eighth the Kaws didn't have much luck. Durham's slants were beaten into the ground or lifted gently to inflelders. But in the eighth the Gears decided another run should be added for the sake of safety. Frantz hit safely after Lee was down and King sent another double into the rec ord. Frantz counted. Despite the fact that they didn't rain the Jobber crew ciouaea up m of the innings. Fugate started and got away, with well timed assistance of his helpmates, until the end of the fifth In the sixth Gear sent Kuse. to the mound. He passed Koerner but got him a minute later at second, leav ing Claire on first via the fielder choice route. Hughes got on by a short single and Pettigrew walked. Then Clemmons hit to Emory who as Fited Chapman in killing Claire at the plate and doubled to Gardner, shut ting off demons. Then the grandstand breathed a very audible sigh of relief. The Witches had scored in the first when Middleton hit, went to second on Belden's out and scored when Koerner singled. It was well they did. For after that they were powerless. In the ninth Kusel issued a walk. Then he plunked Clemmons on the shirt. Craig was sent in to bat foi Durham and Gear called Cocreham tc the rescue. The lanky chap struck out Craig, hit Mee and Chapman aided in the rescue by running to the third biise bleachers after a high foul. The Sunday Story Tlavers AB. R. H.

A ninth inning rally In which Man figer Gear and Joe Rickert were the chief figures, won the Saturday game for Topeka. With the score tied in the last half of the closing inning the manager drew a base on wide ones He pilfered the only bag purloined b the locals that day.

When the blood is infected with acrid or unhealthy matter it cannot perform its natural work of nourishing the skin, regulating its tem perature and preserving its normal softness, pliability and healthfulness. Instead it irritates and inflames the delicate fibres and tissues around the pores and glands and produces some of the many forms of skin disease. The itching and stinging so often accompanying skin affections are produced by the deposit from the blood of the acrid humors with which it is filled, into the sensitive membranous flesh lying just beneath the outer covering, and surrounding the countless nerve3, pores and glands. This. explains why scratching the outer skin affords no relief from the itching and burning. S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases of every character by purifying the blood. It goes down into the circulation and removes the humors or acids which are causing the trouble, build3 up the weak, acrid blood, and permanently cures every variety of skin affection. Local applications can only soothe; they never cure because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes right into the circulation, reaches the trouble and cures it by removing the cause.

The third base bleachers were well filled despite the threatening weather. Lee's first two chances were difficult ones but he handled them nicely. He is lightning fast. In his first peg to second Chapman threw the runner out by ten feet. The crowd showed their appreciation by a vigorous shout of approval. Mee was hit by the pitcher the first two times at the plate. Looks as though Alderman had a grudge against the victim player. In the first half of the fifth Gear came in from the field and talked things over with Alderman. At that time there were three men on bases and two strikes and three balls had been called on Perry. The result was the putting in of Toung to pitch. Chapman tried hard to knock a home run in the last of the fifth. The ball fell a little short and beyond the foul line. Young did .great rescue work in the first of the fifth. He walked Per ry, Middleton flew out to left field. Belden struck out, and Davis propped out to Lee. In the last half of the sixth when Lee trippled to deep right the crowd went wild. Lee is proving some swat ter. Young walked tow men in the first of the seventh, but by striking out the last man to bat he got out of a bad hole. Chapman played a cracking good game. Up to the eighth he had thrown four players out at second. Sioux City Beats Omaha. Omaha, April 22. The gilt-edged pitching of Paul Brown and the time ly hitting of the Sioux City players won. For the first eight innings Brown did not allow any sort of a bit. but in the eighth the locals got three singles.

Gear doesn't hesitate to give his pitchers a baptism of fire. Kusel, who hasn't been rated as much of a twirlei by local fans, was sent in with the game still hanging in the balance. He got through his first inning without resorting to a curve or locating the plate. That fast double helped great ly. On his second appearance on tht mound, however, he displayed both s slant and a knowledge of where the platter was hidden. A walk and the hitting of a batter got him into trou ble in the ninth and when a heavy slugger was sent in by Hughes, Gear called Cocreham, who had been warm ing up all afternoon, to the hill. It was another nervous situation but the big fellow didn't' swallow once and held the Witches easily. Hardworking Jack Fugate got away nicely, thank you, and struck out six opposing batsmen. However, Gear thought it best to take no chance; of his tiring and relieved him in tht sixth to see how Kusel would act un der fire. It is hereby moved that both Kusel and Cocreham be made first class firemen and given medals for bravery. No stolen bases nor sacrifice hits in the Sunday exhibition. Hughes an chored too far off second in the sec ond inning and Chapman got his only chance to show the Severance delega tion how quickly he could get the ball down. As a result Hughes was soon on the bench talking it over with the rest of the fellows. Manager Gear is hunting for a large chunk of something heavy which can be inserted into a bat. The boss be lieves he is hitting too quickly. He says every stick in the clubhouse fe&U Try this tonight! Chew Wrigley's fZ22EZZ on your way home. Cleanse your mouth refresh it.

It costs less. :s less. fl Look for the spear The flavor lasts 3 light to him and he believes that is the reason he isn't sending them to the left field fence. He doesn't need to hit more than .110 if he can keep the team going the way it is now speeding up. The box score is a peculiar thing Keorner had 20 putouts in the Sunday contest which is going some for even a first sacker. Chapman had 11. That classy double by Emory, Chap man and Gardner helped considerably. By it Kusel was enabled to get out of a mighty tight place without a score being made. Cocreham again today if he's feeling; risht. Gear is puzzled about the catching situation. Chapman is going good and the team is working nicely. He would like to give Smith, the Indian, a chance to work and the fans a chance to sec him. Yet he hesitates to talte Chap man out. Rip Hagerman, an old Topeka fa vorite, is reported to be in the best condition of any of Dwyer's pitchers. Lincoln is agitating a Booster' club. They boost baseball and every thing else and concentrate a lot of en thusiasm where it will do the most good.

Corner Eighth and Kuui something up his sleev. to pull befor the season is over. From the lineupt of the different teams it looks as thougn the real race for the year of 1912 would be between Denver, St. Joseph, De Moines and Topeka, with the other clubs continually knocking at the dooi for admission to the flrft division. If the Witches finish In eighth plac. the Lincoln Star will bet there Is hundred points difference between the leaders and tailenders. The Sioux City infield, strengthened by Tony Smith, Is getting ready tor season of fast work, according to th northern scribes. The Drummers are playing with a crippled team. At that they don't make such a bad showing. Denver Is said to have opened to 4,000 people. Not a very S"ood show ing for the Beartown fans. Lincoln News: Those Topeka fans are there with the real boost this year. The general offices of the Santa Fe railroad are to suspend this after noon for the opening game with Wich ita, which means that 1,500 howling rooters will be turned loose at one fell swoop. To give a better Idea of the new Topeka spirit, one booster has disposed of an even hundred $10 tick et books. Some class to that style of hustling. Lincoln Star: Denver, in fact, should have an advantage over every team but Topeka and Wichita. The Kaws are a new squad, but they have ben playing games for nearly two months and should get off well, even If the early wor.k does send them stale In midseason. Wichita has tut one change in the infield and none in the outfield, while Its pitching staff Is nearly intact. The Jobbers should keep right near the top for a month. The Kaws have played nearly two months together, and will proiably be in better playing form than any other club. Their pitching staff, headed by men who have failed to make good in former years, doe not look good, but they have a fine outfield, and the new Infield Is said to be fast and clean fielding., while Gear believes that his cluo will pound the ball. The mana ger himself has a fine record behind him, and comes into the league with a strong presumption In his favor. 1

FULL LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is reoplved in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole purpose. Battling- Nelson is a most unusual prize fighter. He admits that V is out of tha question for him to come back. Violations of the Kansas game laws are rather expensive luxuries, that are scarcely worth while. Many Kansans have found this out to their sorrow. And some people might be mean enough to construe this as meaning that the colonel was hardly satisfied with the way Mr. Stubba has been conducting the Roosevelt campaign here. It's a fact that the governor's activities In this direction have not beenentirely successful. Colonel Roosevel. has been rigorous in times, past with excoriations on the lynching of negroes in the south. Yet that is nothing but a phase of the mob rule that he Is now so urgently sup porting. According to Harper's Weekly Presi dent Taft already has 337 delegates to the Republican national convention and Is sure of 2 32 more at least, mak ing a clear majority for him on the first ballot. As far as the recalling of decisions is concerned, Colonel Roosevelt certainly practices what he preaches. He re calls his own decisions on all important matters whenever it suits his own convenience. After the generally fine performance of the men on the Titanic, the women surely won't have any cause for alarm that they will not always be protected properly even if woman's suffrage is denied them. A report comes from Wasfiington that President Taft has decided to make pointed replies to much of the unfair criticism that Colonel Roosevelt has leveled at him. President Taft should have done this long ago. Man's creations are marvellous, but the loss of the Titanic again shows that nothing which man can build is able to combat the destructive forces of nature. The iceberg is to the deep what the tornado is to the plains. Clarence S. Darrow's trial on charges that he attempted to tamper with the McXamara Jury Is soon to be started. There is no indication, though, that Mr. Barrow will follow his advice tc the McNamaras and plead guilty. Peter D. Daly of New York, one of the surviving passengers on the Titan ic, must surely be entitled to all the championship medals for swimming. He swam around in the icy waters for six long hours before he was rescued. Strange things happen occasionally. For Instance, a Kansas Anti-Horse Thief association, located at Arkansas City, actually brought about the cap ture of a horse thief recently, and within a few hours from the time of the theft. Experts in the premises assert that when the Panama canal gets into op eration, it will stimulate materially the traffic on the rivers of this country. What the many people along these big rivers need more is some system that will protect them from floods. In mythological lore a hero is an Illustrious man supposed to be ex alted, after death, to a place among tha gods. And surely there is no place too high in the hereafter for the heroes on the Titanic who stood aside, that the women might be saved, and went down with the ship. This is a curious old world, Indeed. Not so many months ago Colonel Astor was being criticised and ridiculed by the big metropolitan newspapers for marrying a young girl so soon after being divorced from his first wife. Now these came papers are singing his praises aa being one of the heroes of all time. That part of Kansas through which Colonel Roosevelt passed gave him an enthusiastic welcome. But did any part of Kansas ever deny the same kind of a welcome to any prominent visitor? Less than a year ago Kansas gave as large and as hearty a-welcome to President Taft as it ever gave to any man. THE RECALL OF DECISIONS. In the current issue of The Era, El bert Hubbard devotes a little more space than usual to a discussion of the political questions of the hour. "With most enlightened argument and in his usual forceful and pointed manner Mr. Hubbard discusses the proposition for the recall of judicial decision. So far Mr. Roosevelt has said that he would only apply this plan "to decisions of state supreme courts which declare legislative acts to be unconstitutional, But it is the opinion of many that this is only a steppingstone in the program of the colonel to apply the same plan to decisions of the federal supreme court. Mr. Hubbard argues from that standpoint, but every point he makes Is equally applicable to the recall of the decisions of state supreme courts. What he has to say on this subject follows: The recall of incompetent public servants is no new thing. But the recall of judicial decisions by the people is a brand new proposi tion in civilization. It takes us back to the days of Pon tius Pilate when he washed his hands in innocency, allowed the mob to have its way, and gave them their Barab ba. Constitutions have one purpose, and that is stability. Civilized men have decided that there must be an end of quarrels somewhere, and the American constitution so pro vides. Oeorere Washington said its purpose was to prevent civil war. The business of the courts is to up hold the constitution. The proposition of Theodore Roose velt that the people have the power to overrule the constitution and the courts is distinctly in the line of revo lution and anarchy. In sober moments, after calm con sideration, the people decided to make the supreme court of the United Statps a court of last appeal. There the argument should end. Not so, says Theodore Roosevelt. The people shall have the right to recall and override a decision. If the court decides against you, call out the boys and shoot up the court! By the Rooseveltian method, dis putes would have no' end. Litigation would lead to endless feud. That the people are right when not swayed by passion and incited by hate and prejudice, we all admit. Our government had Its rise in the proposition that the people shall choose their rulers. That is to say, the people at the last are the masters. Our government has its basis in the consent of the governed. According to the plan suggested by Theodore Roosevelt, the people would no longer be supreme. If they had the right to override the United States supreme court, this would only be done when under stress of great excitement, when reason was dethroned and the hoarse roar of the mob heard In the land. tions. This is the very intent and purpose of the' constitution of the United States, and of the Judges that we elect and appoint to uphold It. JOURNAL ENTRIES Nobody ever kicks on a deal if he holds winning cards. A woman without a looking-glass would be like a ship without a rudder. People who are always telling what tney are going to do seldom do much The chances are that much more time is wasted than is used profitably, No matter how smart a man is there are plenty others who can give him valuable pointers. SAYS UNCLE GAV JAYHAWKER JOTS Great Joy in the Roosevelt camp. The Oregon delegation to the Chicago convention has been annexed. Oregon has eight votes in the convention. This "great" victory in Oregon was more than offset a day or so ago by the vic tory of President Taft in obtaining the delegation from Connecticut, which is fourteen strong. Colonel Roosevelt says his visit to Kirn At waa due to Governor Stubba. Popular verdicts are, in great de gree, brought about by the demagogue by boomerangs, flagrant untruths, lying innuendoes, hate and prejudice. Recognizing this fact, we devised the constitution, and selected the judges who are sworn to uphold this consti tution, and not the p-ssionate mob. This plan has but one purpose and that is to prevent the rule of the un fit. We want no War of the Roses. When hate, prejudice and fear com bine to sweep the land like a tornado, no recall of a decision Would be pos sible on the part of the people unless led by a demagogue. Every mob has Its leader. So, really, what Theodore Roosevelt suggests is to replace the supreme court of the United States by the un official, irresponsible leader of the mob. Theodore Roosevelt himself would question and has questioned court de cisions, denouncing them as "miscar riages of Justice." And thus, if he had had the power, he would have made himself the practical chief Jus tice of the United States and called on the Rough Riders for support. This means South American revolu tion, and puts us where Mexico now stands. In order that the people may con tinue their peaceful vocations of pro duction, transportation and distribu tion, we have agreed on a method of settling our disputes. This plan has worked to the ad vantage and benefit of the nation for over a hundred years, and under this rule has the United States grown into her present proud place among the na tions of the world. Now, Mr. Roosevelt wants this pol icy all changed. His desire is to make It possible for the people to interest themselves directly and override the will of their elected judges. This would, under certain conditions, lead straight to revolution, dissension and disturbance that would destroy and dissolve the United States of America as a people. For the quiet, calm, uninflamed, Ju dicial mind Mr. Roosevelt prefers the blatant ballyhoo and the irrepressible action of the many-headed, led by the Irresponsible. In case of a recall of a decision it is quite probable that the many con tinuing their tasks, each with his self appointed work to do, would leave the question to the mob. We would then be ruled by the minority, that Is to say, by the noisy, the idle, the Inflam ed, the discontented those who have nothing to lose. Coxey's army hasn't anything else to do but recall decisional And all Coxey's army lacks Is a leader. Roosevelt proposes to give this leader a legal status. The country should be saved from the danger of the mob rule and the disturbing effect of numerous elec- J. W. Hammer is one of the- boost ers at Osborne. The biggest fish gets away, there fore he never gets a weigh, explains tne potter Kansan. Such sharp ears has the Waldo Ad vocate that it heard some "wedding bells ringing" not so long ago. It occurs to the Potter Kansan that a Mr. Riley, a Kansas City liquor deal er, ought to spell his name Ryeley. One of Mack Cretcher's observa tions: The cream is usually on the top but so Is the foam. Don't get chesty xou may be the foam. As long as she carries her age well a woman isn't much of a burden to her self, thinks the Associate Editor of the Englewood Leader-Tribune. Ab Ad kins is quoted by the Atchison Globe as saying that if he ever joins tne socialist party, seeing a woman carry a white poodle around in an au tomobile probably will be the cause. As A. T. Random of the Herington Sun expresses it: The man whose tungsten light sensitiveness causes him to break at the slightest jar is not going to set the world afire with the radiance of iiis success. Lese majeste on the part of the Belleville Telescope: There are t good many Republicans who take ex ceptlons to the governor of this state going out over Kansas making cam paign speeches for a factional candi date for the' presidency. The conten tion is made that a governor is em ployed to look after the business and affairs of state. Talking about newspapers getting rich from country printing, says the Alma Signal, the Eskridge Tribune and the two Alma papers will pull down a pot of thirty cents count 'em thirty cents for the publication of the final tax notice now running m the three papers. And that thirty cents is to be divided among the three.

In a clever travesty on the reports appearing In outside papers about the dire straits that the people of Cim arron were placed in when the recent heavy snows cut that town off for a while from communication with its neighbors. Elmer Peterson of the Cimarron Jacksonian had this to say, among other things: "We cannot con ceal the fact any longer. The town ran out of its customary supply of bananas on Tuesday. Not a one could be bought for love or money from TiiBwdav night until Thursday. Fa thers wept copiously Into their shirt sleeves as they heard the pitiful moanlngs of their little children who had to go to bananaiess Deas. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. A pull mar get you somewhere, but it can't keep you there. Frequently a woman's helplessness Is a great weapon In fighting a man. Some men are so henpecked they run a boarding house for their wives' kin. The minute you gain a triumph some one sets out to capture your goat. While a stingy man may not have many friends, he is less likely to need them. Comfortable shoes represent the best time a man with corns can have. Nearly everyone would draw a fat sal ary If paid for what he thinks he knows. One naturally hates to be on the losing side, even if h knows that side is right. Post card philosophy: "Don't wear hob ble skirts, girls; leave something to im agination.' It doesn't interest us much when a rich man's son takes a Job for about what pa Is worth. A cowboy's notion of riotous living Is to buy a fifty dollar saddle and shoot the lights out. Don't kick your enemy. That weuld only convince him that you have taken notice of Mm. Men who carry it in a bottle, should use a pocket flask; the round quarts bulge one's coat out of shape.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Yoii'll never amount to anything un til you pry yourself loose from yes terday. The good old way was a Sue thing when it was new; it would be a fine thing today If the opposition hadn't found a way to beat it. Yesterday's successes would be all that could be desired, no doubt, if somebody hadn't won a bigger success today. And yes terday's woes might have been heart breaking if today's, light hadn't shown them to be small compared to the Im minent trouble of the hour. Yester day, after all, was a little day if you're growing and if you're not growing this Is not for you. Yesterday's achievements, yesterday's problems, and yesterday's hodgepodge of grief and joy have gone the way o ail the earth and you are no lohgei seriously interested in them. They were little things little, whether they were good or bad. This day is a big day events grow like weeds, overnight, and those men who succeed in the big sense grow with them. There Is no nourishment in the empty cupboard ol a day that is gone. Only the idle sentimentalist has time to give it thought. It is today that feeds you and makes you strong for the still bigger tasks of tomorrow. The wise man throws the 'closed day away like an empty husk and turnn with a keen appetite to the day that is Just at hand. Keep clear of the clutter of the past. Today Is your meat and it is mosi strong enough for the most exacting taste, needing neither the spice of for mer success nor the piquant sauce of old regrets. And if you would win, to your mutton, John Henry, to your mutton! (Copyright, 1912, by E.

THE EVENING STORY i u EVENING CHAT BT RUT 51 CAMERON. "It is only now and then that a man learns something, but he forgets the whole day long. Our memory is like a sieve that with time and use holds less and less." Schopenhauer. How long is it since you have "visit ed school?" I have always believed that it Is every mother's bounden duty to visit, at least once a term, the school where her children are spending almost half their jwaklng hours. Lately I nave been convinced that It wouia oe a mighty good thing if other mothers "visited school" onqe In a wnue. For what purpose, you ask f wen. nartlv for the pleasure of the memories and association which such an experi ment would arouse. But more for the interesting and instructive purpose or discovering- how little we really know after all, how much more than we, even the little pig-tailed and freckled faced boys and girls know. Perhaps you think I am overstating that. If you do, it is all the more rea son you should accept my invitation some day. Believe me, no group or college professors will make you more aware of your colossal ignorance than class of grammar school youngsters reciting their freshly learned lessons. Say the class is in geography and they are going Over the capltols and principal cities of the various countries. How often do you know the answer be fore it is given? Unles9 you are over fifty, and thus of the old school which really learned things like geography. you will probably be amazed to And how little you know. Not long ago I went to an evening party where the hostess surprised us by substituting a geographical game for the conventional entertainment. There were half a dozen questions to answer, such as the Capitals of all the coun try, questions which should have been comparatively simple to all of us, but I assure you that there was no trouble In selecting the priza winner. He was a man considerably over sixty who had learned those things In the good old fashioned way. The only difficult was to decide among1 the candidates for the consolation prize. Suppose the lesson is in history, and the dates of some of the big events In our history are called for, will you be any better off than you were in the geography class? Or suppose. the class in spelling holds the floor, do you think you would stand at the head of the class if you entered into competition with the youngsters? It Is only now and then that man learns something, but he forgets the whole day long." How much we have forgotten, and how very little we really know, after all. Truly It is a most humbling lesson which the little schol ars will turn teacher to teach us! Don't think this is all Just talk, but some day when you have a chance, try "visiting school." I am sure you'll learn quite as much as the scholars, and your lesson will be about that most Im portant of all subjects yourself. For Business Reasons. (By M. McCulloch-Williams.)

The report of a violent and disas trous volcanlo eruption In Panama need cause no axlety for the safety of the oanal works. The scene of tha outDreak is In the Cordillera of Chl riqui, which is a continuation of the mountain range of Costa Rica, and this particular peak is well toward the Costa Rican boundary and fully two hundred miles from the canal zone. That Cordillera, moreover, does not ex tend to the zone, but stops a hundred miles west of It, so that the ridge in which the eruption has occurred has no t'irect geological connection with the hills near the canal. It Is doubt ful If any shock or other symptom of tne eruption was perceptible in the zone. It is to be assumed that the peak In question is the well known Voloan de Chiriqui. Thl la a shapely cone 6,480 feet high and one of nearly a dozen extinct volcanoes in that part of the Cordillera. They have all been quite dead, to all appearances, as far back as history runs. Indeed, geo logical authorities have declared that not one has been active since the Plio cene Tertiary period. Yet the same range of mountains a little further west, In Costa Rica, Is dotted with vol canoes and solfataras of marked ac tivity. Turrialba had an eruption of great force in 1866, and the great peak of Foas had one of memorable vio lence in 18S4. There is nothing at all remarkable, therefore, In the breaking out of the Chiriqui volcano, which belongs to the same geological formation aa the active volcanoes of Costa Rica and is Indeed only a few miles distant from the nearest of them. The canal zone is fortunate in be longing to neither of the geological systems which He one at each side of It. It ia an independent formation, lying between the two and enjoying comparative immunity from the earth quake shocks and other phenomena which disturb them. In that particu lar it is well chosen aa the site of the canal, and that circumstance gives ground for hope that the great works which we are creating there will re main uninjured and undisturbed. New York Tribune. TOO MANY LAWS AN EVIL. It can almost be set down aa an la variable rule, confirmed by the history of the race, that the more laws a country has, the fewer laws it em forces. A Kansas city paper recently compiled a list of trivial enactments on the statute books of Kansas. Kan sas Is comparatively a young state, yet It has a larger coda than many of tha old states, or than nations like Eng land or France. In fact. It is the younger states, like Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma, for example, that have out stripped all other countries In their efforts to regulate every line of hu man conduct and every sort of human rights by legislation. Logically, on looks to these states for many failures to apply promptly; certainly and fairly the laws of great importance, the lawi which it is most difficult to enforce; and, quite naturally, the law-making habit, carried to ridiculous excess, hai led them to add a few "unwritten laws" to serve in saving men from the more serious offenses, as well aa mob law and lynch law, to enable the peo-' pie to express their contempt for fail ures of the courts. Where the laws are numerous it is difficult and some times impossible for the officials tc enforce them all; but that Is not the worst of, it. Where there are many laws that It 1s comparatively easy tc apply, the few which can hardly b enforced, like the statutes against murder and other felonlea, are sure tc be negelected, on the principle that it is pleasanter and safer to perform that part of one's duty which it is easy to perform. Excuses for a failure to pun ish felons promptly are found in a multitude of acts and ordinances against petty misdemeanors, vices and sins. Galveston News.

We exercise too little, eat little fruit, and our food is too fine too rich. We simply can't have our ten yards of bowels clogged up, liver choked with sour bile and stomach full of foul effete matter and feel well. It means that the food and waste re tained in the stomach and thirty feet of bowels ferments decays.

TALK TITANIC DISASTER Topeka Preachers Make That Theme for Sermon. the The Titanic disaster was comment ed upon by several of the Topeka ministers. "The disaster was caused by human greed and negligence," was the dec laration of Dr. Charles M. Sheldon in speaking at the Central Congrega tional church. Think of the jewelry. the money represented, yet how pow erless it was to overcome death. The disaster showed the absolute power- lessness of the almighty dollar. The money was nothing. "I knew William T. Stead," con tinued Dr. Sheldon. "His picture hangs in my study, ana upon It Is in scribed, 'In the services of those who suffer.' The things he was thinking of was not his own greatness. Wealth, fame, social distinction were swept away by the great waters. We learn to know God In disaster and death." "In the darkness the night there are stars we can not see," said the Rev. A. B. Marshall, president of the Omaha Theological seminary, in speaking Sunday morning at the First Presbyterian church. "In these days when men are not so thoughtful of women especially in public places they require them to stand up in street cars how firm, how true were the men on the occasion of the Titanic accident I'm not sure that I would not have fallen in the panic in the hour of danger, and jumped into the boats ahead of the others. There was great heroism displayed." "Never in all the glorious history of the world were higher tests of valor more nobly met," said the Rev. Robert Gordon in speaking Sunday morning on "A world of Sorrow. "In the tragedy Itself there are sources of comfort and inspiration. It was almost worth the awful cost that earth and skies might witness that glorious spectacle of nobility and heroism. "Who is responsible? A cartoon represented Neptune waistdeep in the sea, holding the Titanic transfixed on his trident and angrily saying. 'Care lessness and greed. "The mad race for material success seems to cloud the judgments of men benumb the conscience and harden the heart. Legislative enactments are necessary to compel reasonable re gard for the rights and lives of others." The Knights and Ladies of Secur ity band at a meeting held Sunday morning passed these resolutions rel ative to the heroism of the band of the fated Titanic: "Resolved, That the heroism dis played by the members of the band in their fidelity to duty in the face of certain death, should be noted on the records of every musical organization In the world as among the highest possible types of human sacrifice In which history gives us record; and be it further "Resolved, That we hereby express deep sympathy to the bereaved fam ilies."

Methodist Pastor in Storm in Midatlantic. NOT FAR FROM BIS DISASTER While Coming From England to America. Minister Relates Thrilling Ex perience to Congregation. The wreck of the steamship Titanic recalls to Rev. J. W. Waldron, pastor of the Kansas Avenue Methodist church, his experience in a storm on the Atlantic when he was making a trip from his home in England to America with his parents over thirty years ago. He described the storm in his sermon last night. He also re lated a touching incident about the captain of the vessel and his daughter. The ship crossed nearly in the same latitude as the Titanic. He told the story of the captain's daughter and recited an original poem based on the incident. Then he de scribed that how the band on the Ti tanic after playing all the songs the musicians knew finally played a cer tain one. At this point the choir of the church began to sing "Nearer My God to Thee. This was the air which the Titanic band played as the ship went down. Rev. Mr. Waldron's sermon in part follows: "I am here tonight not to praise the heroism of John Jacob Astor, who gave up his life on the Titanic for others, any more than I am to pay tribute to the sacrifice of the common people, the sailors and passengers in ordinary circumstances who gave up their places in the lifeboats to the women. Rev. Mr. Waldron In Atlantic Storm. "The story of the Titanic recalls an incident in my own life. Thirty-two years ago I was crossing the. Atlantic on a sailing vessel. I was leaving my home in England for America. We crossed the ocean not far out of the route taken by the ill-fated steamship. The voyages then were much longer than now in the modern ocean grey hounds. The vessels were much small er and not nearly so comfortable as those of the present day. But we crossed without a wreck. "However, just before reaching port we ran into a storm. We were afraid that the ship would be wrecked. Even the captain was afraid. While the storm was at its worst his little daugh ter was seen to run to him and heard to say: 'Papa, isn't God on the water just the same as He is on the land?' This remark seemed to give all of us cour age. Some how or other we did not feel afraid after that. "As to the Titantic disaster one thing impressed me greatly. The band on the steamer, it is said, had been playing airs to keep, up the spirits of the passengers. Finally this tune was heard floating out over the waters as tne snip, carrying the players with it, went down." At this point the choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee. The church was packed. The sermon with the appro priate music was unusually impressive. Notes and Personals.

From Wash ington there came this morning an au thoritative report telling of the pur pose of the banking and currency com mittee of the house of representatives in undertaking an investigation of money and banking conditions in the United States. This committee, ac cording to the report received here, has no idea of investigating money and banking conditions for purely par tisan politicai purposes. The mem bers of the committee know that if an investigation were not sincere the people would speedily discover that lact and would, therefore, in time pay no attention to anything brought out by the committee. The members of this Iiouse commit tee have learned that all over the United States thinking people, and es pecially business men, are very anx ious to get full and accurate informa tion which will enlighten them re specting banking and money condi tions. Meetings which are being held in the west under the auspices of the National Citizens' league show how great is this popular interest in these questions. In many parts of the coun try men of authority are now giving much time to public discussion, and they find that the people listen most attentively to their lectures and ad dresses. Mr. H. D. Money of Missis sippi, formerly United States senator from that state, and, in the adminis tration of President Arthur, chairman of the postofnee and post roads com mittee of the house of representatives, has begun a campaign of education in Mississippi. He will not confine his lectures to the people of that state. He is to speak during the summer and early fall in various places in Ala bama, Louisiana and probably in Ten nessee. It is a singularly appropriate name which the former senator bears in view of the agitation he is making for banking and monetary reform. His name, however, is the least of his qualifications for this work. In his long service in both houses or congress Mr. Money devoted himself to eco nomic and fiscal questions and gained a high repute for his ability to discuss them. In the state of Iowa many meetings have been held, the people displaying the utmost interest in these questions and eagerness to obtain accurate in formation. It has been learned that the people of Oklahoma are anxious to be informed respecting these mat ters and welcome, especially, men not identified with banking, but who have gained their reputations as thinkers upon economic subjects. Agitation in the West. Here in the east there is hardly any appreciation of the extent of the campaign of education which is In progress in many parts of the west. One of the most popular of the speak ers is Jacob Gould Schurman, presi dent of Cornell university, and there have been no more instructive ad dresses than those which have been de livered by the president of the uni versity of North Dakota, Frank L. McVey, and by Professor Lincoln Huley of the Stetson university of Florida. One effect of these meetings has been a better understanding on the part of the people of the fact that agi tation in favor o banking and money reform does not represent the exclu sive purposes of the American Bank ers' association or of the individual bankers of the United States. For a long time the impression prevailed in many parts of the country that the agitation in favor of banking and money reform represented nothing but the purpose of the money power still further to master the money re sources of the United States. The agi tation which has been carried on for the past year and a half by business men and by university scholars has made it clear to the people that this agitation does really reflect a pro found and earnest desire on the part of reputable and able men to make the American banking and currency system what it should be and to do that in furtherance of national pros perity. These facts have come to the atten tion of the house banking and cur rency committee. The members of the committee realize that they will be doing a great public service if they obtain abundant information, sufficient to serve as the base for a satisfactory and wholly adequate banking and cur rency reform system. The committee is now preparing a list of questions which will be submit ted to bankers throughout the United states. The officers of state banks will have opportunity to answer these ques tions, although the banking and cur rency committee o the house of rep resentatives cannot compel officers of the state banks to furnish informa tion. These questions are elaborate, some what detailed, and technical. Bank ers will be asked to answer questions which will serve to show the relations of their own banks with other banking institutions, and particularly their re lations with the great industrials and with all of the railway corporations. Apparently the house committee does not look upon the statistical reports made by the comptroller of the cur rency as containing all the informa tion which the committee desires to receive. The Story of Credit. One feature of our present banking and currency conditions about which the house committee will endeavor to gain complete information is the part credit plays in the financial operations of the country and the manner in which credit is concentrated in the chief financial centers of the United States. The committee feels that it is essential that the whole story of credit and its relations to our banking and money systems and to the financial affairs of the nation must be learned before there can be any decision as to whether or not the concentration of credit seriously menaces the public welfare. If the committee should learn that there is such danger, then it will be in position to recommend legislation which will put an end to the evil. If this committee occupies itself with the work it has undertaken as thoroughly as did the national mone tary commission with its investigation it will probably require at least two years to complete the work. The in formation which the committee pur poses to collate -involves as large an amount of statistics and as careful tracing of statistics ti their sources as does the preparation of a scientific tariff bill. One thing, it is learned, the committee is now satisfied will be its happy experience. The members of the committee are persuaded that the bankers of the United States will will ingly furnish all the information asked, for these bankers are now as sured that the committee does not purpose an investigation with intent to make political capital or to further any secretive speculative or moneymaking plans. Some of the statistics which the comptroller of the currency, Lawrence O. Murray, has recently collated and which he will furnish to the house committee on banking and currency contain figures almost beyond the power of the human mind thoroughly to appreciate. The statistics telling of the clearings of the New Tork clearing house in a single year, con siderably in excess of sixty billion dol lars, of themselves suggest the mag nitude of the work which the house committee has undertaken. The clear ings of the New York clearing house represent much of the barter or trade in which the people of the United States are engaged. Then, again, the committee will be informed that the banks of New York now carry loans approximating two billion dollars. Or, in other words, the banks of this city carry loans which are approximately one-fifth of the loans carried by the twenty-six thousand banks of the United States. The reason for this is something which the house committee must learn if its report is to be of any value. Then, again, the committee will learn speedily that the banks of New York have about four hundred and fifty millions in cash on hand.' This is nearly one-third of the reserves car ried by all the banks of the United States. Furthermore, it is about one seventh of all the lawful currency of the United States, if the national bank notes are excluded from the estimate. The committee will find that one of the reasons for this enormous amount of money in the vaults of the banks of New York is to be discovered in the fact that many of the banks of the United States deposit their own re serves with the banks of New York and Chicago and, to some extent, St. Louis, these being the central reserve cities of the country. Approximately one-half of the reserves of the banks doing business in reserve cities are re deposited with the banks of New York, Chicago and St. Louis. Un doubtedly the house committee will discover in this fact one reason why such a large amount of money is loaned out on call, chiefly for specu lative or stock purposes, by New York banks. HOLLAND. RAi.ir.1ED ITJ A FOG Steamer Denver Punches a Big Hole in 1 Sod. Nobody Is Hurt and Both Ves sels Make Port. Galveston, Tex., April 22. A costly but far from a disastrous collision be tween the incoming Mallory- liner Den ver, seven days out from New York, with 21 cabin passengers, and the out bound New York Morgan, line freighter El Sud, occurred In a dense fog Satur day night. Both boats reached Galveston under their own steam, the Denver discharg ing her passengers safely. According to Captain Staples, of the Denver, he was incoming at half speed slowed down and steered far to star board to avoid the outbound boat. El Sud, however, appeared to have put across her bow and was rammed In her port side near the forward hatch, more than half way through the vessel and from deck to keel. Some of the crew of El Sud jumped overboard and others put off in boats while for a time panic reigned on the Denver. All but one boat load of E' Sud's crew returned when they saw the vessel was seaworthy, the one being picked up by the Denver as she lay at anchor to give assistance. Captain Forbes, of El Sud, said h heard the Denver's whistles but they sounded to him on his port side until too late to get out of the way. El Sud was able to reach the Southern Pacific docks with the aid of two tugs ar.u the pilot boat Texas. She is now lyini about 30 feet in the water and the extent of damage to her has not been determined. Much of the cargo of cotton, lumber, mohair, hops and wine is damaged oi last. El Sud, built in 1899, is of 4,572 tons gross tonnage, while the gross tonnage of the Denver, built in 1901, is 4,519. GARDNER AFTER T.R. The Congressman Sends a Sizzling Telegram to the Colonel. Washington. April 22. Copies of a telegram from Representative Gard ner, Massachusetts, to Colonel Roose velt, sent in reply to the colonel's declination of Mr. Gardner's invitation to a joint debate have been given out here. Mr. Gardner calls upon both "Presi dent Taft and Colonel Roosevelt to make public certain correspondence between the colonel and the president bearing upon the Lorimer investiga tion, which, Mr. Gardner asserts, will entirely disprove the charge that Sen ator Lorimer had any assistance or support from Mr. Taft. A portion of Mr. Gardner's telegram is as follows: "You have told the public that President Taft has alienated your re spect by his subserviency to great in terests. I deny it. President Taft has instituted proceedings against all the great offenders. He has made no ex ceptions on account of expediency. Can you say as much? I charge you with making exceptions for your favorities, sometimes under the allegation of technicalities, sometimes lor reasons unknown. "I challenge you to produce the sup pressed report of your own commis sioner of corporations, Herbert Knox Smith, with regard to the Harvester trust. I assert that this report ex plicitly shows that the Morgan inter ests always favored your administra tion. In the interest of square deal ing, I demand that you produce copies of these suppressed papers. If no copies are in your possession, I de mand that the department of justice proceed at once to discover them." Strikes a Cemetery. Bloomtngton. 111., April 22.

LOOT A PULLMAf Bandits Bob Passengers on the Golden State Limited. Mr. and Sirs. Otis L. Benton Among the Victims. Chicago, April 22. Five persons were robbed of money or valuables or both by three masked men who went through the sleeper Nottingham of the Rock Island westbound Golden State Limited a few minutes after midnight Sunday morning at Shef field. 111., 50 miles east of Moline. After the robbers had finished their work they shot holes in the air sig nal tube connected with the engine, thus bringing the train to a standstill and quickly made their escape. Under cover of revolvers, the por ter was forced to point out to the out laws the berths that were occupied. As soon as the robbers entered the Pullman tliey forced the porter to lock the doors. Only the occupants of one car were disturbed. Those who were robbed: "W. L. LeBlanc, 149 Broadway, New York, $45 and railroad ticket. Mary Herron, 4908 Madison ave nue, Chicago, $96. Otis L. Benton, Oberlin, Kan., gold watch and diamond valued at $150 and $250 cash. D. A. MacFuller and wife, 921 West Main street. Fort. Wayne, Ind., $95 and two watches valued at $60. J. B. Gomand, Phoenix, Ariz., $85. Presence on the train of the three robbers has not been accounted for. It is thought the men boarded the limited at the crossing of the Chi cago, Burlington Quincy railroad near which a Burlington train was held up some time ago. After the desperadoes had taken their loot they commanded the por ter to pull the air tube as a signal for the engineer to stop the train. When the porter demurred, the men promptly punctured the tube with bul lets from their revolvers. The firing f the revolvers was the only noise con nected with the hold-up. It is said, at the general offices of the Rock Island here that a good descrip tion of the outlaws was obtained and t was further said there were hopes of running them down. Mr. and Mrs. Otis L Benton, who were among the victims of the Pullman robbery on the Golden State Limited, patsed through Topeka on their way to their home at Oberlin Sunday after noon. There were returning from a five weeks' trip at the time of the rob bery, and were carrying but little money. A gold watch and chain were taken from Mr. Benton, while Mrs. Benton removed a diamond ring from her finger and gave it to the robber who covered both her and her husband with a revolver and threatened to cut off the finger if she did not hand over the ring quickly. According to the story told yesterday by Mr. Benton, the robber who went through the car was armed with two revolvers. With one he covered the porter of the car, whom he compelled to do the robbing, and used the other to hold up his victims as he came to them. The passengers had retired, and after looting the berths each person robbed was told to button his curta'n and remain quiet. A bridal couple on their wedding trip were left penniless by the robber. valUesjrTIow Corporation Property Reports Under 1911 Assessment. Prairie Oil and Gas Company's Cut Is Largest. All the big corporations of the state have reported their property valua tions to the state tax commission. These valuations are just a wee mite low as compared with the assessment of property made against them last year by the commission. For instance, the Prairie Oil and Gas company of Independence returns on six millions of property when it was assessed twelve millions last year. The West ern Union Telegraph company reports more than a million less than it was assessed last year and so does the Bell Telephone company. The railroads all made returns of millions less than their assessments last year. The commission, of course, will make its own assessment on these properties, basing its figures on knowl edge of the plants and their valua tions. The Santa Fe. Rock Island and Union Pacific, the three big railroads of the state, in their returns did not recapitulate their figures so that totals can be given at this time.

Unless th government met these questions along the lines of progress and development Secretary Nagel foresaw a conflict with business. So pressing are the problems, the secretary declared, that if the governmental agencies did not find the solution the commercial and industrial forces would compel that solution in one form -or another. "The conflict is irrepressible," he ad ded. "If the government does not find and establish rules by which the de velopment may be intelligently and nor mally had, then ultimately the expan sion and the progress will be had in defiance of rules that do not fit. That has been the story and that will be the story of development everywhere. "In my Judgment much of the con- i fusion which now exists to discourage land to embarrass is to be attributed to the circumstances that Impartial, com prehensive, thoughtful advice has nol been afforded by those who are primar ily interested and whose experience is more essential to a correct under standing. Instead of depending upon advice or the demand of specialized interests we must have a common Judg ment of commerce and industry and tc get that common Judgment we must have a common representation. Thei is the meaning of the organization which is here proposed. In other coun tries the relation between the govern ment and the industries and the com merce is so close that the board of trade forms an immediate part of the government itself. This we may noi eral advices and intelligent direction with respect to proposed measures and the administration of existing laws." Mr. Nagel said he hoped to see the proposed organization ultimately cloth ed with a national charter "so as to give the right and the means to have the government and representativ commerce and industry touch elbows." IT WILL NOT DOWN. State Department Again Tries to Stop Intervention Talk. Washington, April 22. The state department endeavored today to put a stop to what It regards as Inflamma tory talk of the government's pur pose to intervene In Mexico, by declar ing that the reports of the American consular officers in that country re iterate that whereas there Is not one reason for military intervention there are countless strong reasons where there should be no interventloa. Manuel Calero, former minister of foreign affairs, left Mexico City Fri day night for Washington to assume his new post as amabssador here. Sec retary Knox said that while the presi dent had under consideration the question of dispatching a vessel to the west coast of Mexico to look into the safety of the American residents it did not necessarily mean that a warship would make the trip. He s-aid the principal object was to get news about these Americans who were in a country where great disorder pre vailed with no communication with the outside world. BUTT HAD NO MISSION He Merely Went to Enrope to Benefit His Health. Washington, April 22. In response to a letter from W. J. Oliver of Knox ville. Tenn., C. D. Hilles, secretary to President Taft, denied on behalf of the president that Major A. W. Butt had been sent abroad on a mission to Rome. The letter in part reads: "The president feels Major Butt's loss keenly and is only consoled by the knowledge that he gave up his life as a soldier and a man. "There is absolutely no truth in the report that Major Butt was on a mis sion to Rome. The sole object of his trip was the benefit of the long sea voyage and to add to the interest of his trip, the president gave him sev eral formal notes of introduction to personages in Rome, whom he knew. None of the letters contained more than a formal introduction." The White House was informed that the national guard of Wyoming, both officers and men, desired to contribute to a memorial to Major Butt. IS "COP" BURGLAR?

A gang of state penitentiary con victs may aid in the work of good road making In Shawnee county. This was the information received by I. D. Graham, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Commercial club, from State Engineer W. L. Gearhart. The letter reads in part: "I do not know Just what the nat ure of all of your work will be, but it Is possible that we could get 25 to 80 convicts from the state penitentiary to assist in this work. Sometime ago the warden, Mr. Codding, stated that if I could get a good place to try such a gang out he would be glad to make such an experiment this summer. "The only requirement he made was that the work be close enough so that the convicts could get back to the penitentiary at frequent intervals and that the work be done under my di rection. This system has been used in Colorado very extensively and has proven so entirely satisfactory that they feel that it is one of the biggest things they have inaugurated, not only for good roads, but also for the prisoners as well."

KEEPS THE HOUSE Board Refused to Pay School Building. for Sharpe Tried to Hold It Case in Supreme Court. The writ of habeas corpus applied for from the supreme court today by S. O. Sharp of Wallace county, pre sents strange and interesting features in court history. Sharp is in jail In Sherman county. He is charged with failure to keep his contract with school district No. 9 of that county and also with keeping the district from occupying its school house even to the point of offering violence to those who sought to enter the building and hold school. Sharp appealed to the supreme court to hear his side of the case and release him from the custody of the Sherman county sheriff. Sharp Is a carpenter and was hired ny tne trustees of district No. 9 to, build a school house. He entered into a contract to build the structure for j J600 and was to have it finished by September 1, 1911. The directors, act ing for the district, paid Sharp $200 on account. On September 1 Sharp-did not have the building completed as per con- j tract. But he went rhead and finish- ed the building later. The trustees of' the district refused to pav him the balance of the $600 on the contract. alleging that he had failed to fill his contract in regard to Hie date of com pletion of the school- house. Holds House as Pav. Sharp took possession of 'he build ing and refused to allow the trustees to open their school term in the build ing. The trustees had no other place in which to hold school, so they ap pealed to the district court of Sher man county for an injunction to com pel Sharp to give up possession of his building. Sharp, it is said, offered to do violence to any one who tried to enter the building, declaring that he had built it himself and that he had not been paid for it, and that, there fore, "it Was his property. The district judge granted the In junction and the sherif arrested Sharp and threw him in jail on April 6. He was released two days later and went to his home in Wallace coun ty. Another warrant was issued for 1 his arrest and the Sherman county sheriff went over into Wallace and grabbed Mr. Sharp and took him back to the Sherman Jail at Goodland. He is still there. The trustees of the district claimed that they could not make a settlement with Sharp and at the same time pro- j tect the interests of their district. They declared that he had violated his con- tract and that therefore the building he had built belonged to the district without the payment of the sum of $600 contracted for with the builder. 1 In asking the supreme court for re- lease. Sharp alleges, among other things, that he lives in Wallace coun- 1 ty, located outside of the judicial dis- trlct of the judge of the Sherman j county district court from which the j warrant was issued for his arrest. He wants pay for that school house that j he has built before district No. 9 opens school in the building. j The court has cited Sharp to appear j before it April 29 and has set May 6: as the- date for the- hearing of this case.

It might be a facility instead of a restraint on interstate commerce. TopographysJcal conditions at St. Louis. Justice Lurton said, made it im practicable for any railroad to reach St. Louis without using the terminal company across the Mississippi. The combination Of the three crossings owned by the terminal company, he said, gave control over competition.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL APRIL 22, 1912 SHE GETSJHE JOB Stotts Appoints Mrs. M. Gragg Assistant Superintendent. Her Duty to See That Parking Is Kept Up. E. B. Stotts. city commissioner of parks, has solved the 'small park" problem in Topeka. As a starter he has appointed a woman to supervise the cutting and maintenance of a cjity street intersection parking. Her salary and expense accounts must not run over Jl a month. The new plan originated this way: Persons living in the neighborhood of the Intersection of Kast Eighth and East Tenth avenues appealed to the city to beautify the small parking at tcis point. It is "off the beat" of the city park maintenances and Commis sioner Stotts was puzzled for a solution of the financial problem of improving the park. Mrs. Mortimer Orapg, who lives at 1401 East Tenth avenue, suggested to Commissioner Stotts one day she knew the boys In the vicinity would be glad to cut the grass and weeds if the city :wou!d plant seed In the tract. 'But who will see that it is done?" asked Stotts. "Why, I would be glad to do this," answered Mrs. Gragg. "Raise up your right hand," ordered the commissioner. TJp went the small white hand. I hereby appoint you assistant su perintendent of city parks, with super vision over this tract and with a salary to pay all expenses not to exceed one floilar a month." Mrs. Gragg accepted her appointment gracefully and now she is arranging 't'T program ror tne summer. Commis sioner Stotts figures that it is the most economical accident the city has met In years. HE PAINTED HORSE. Bat Artificial Coating Was Shefl and Adams Arrested. treatment at her husband's hands and. said that when she received letters from Rev. Mr. Buffom concerning the church work, that the communications were always signed by the minister and his wife. Then Cross is charged with wound ing his wife's feelings by frequent expressions of his own popularity with the opposite sex. He toid her, Mrs. Cross said, of his friendship with To peka women whom the wife knew not and that these messages caused her much anxiety and many sleepless nights. This is the fourth time that Cross and his wife have taken their family affairs to the divorce courts. On pre vious occasions the trouble has been settled out of court. The case today is contested and many people from the East side have been summoned to tell of the family difficulties. Cross is employed as night watchman for the Santa Fe. POLICE JOTTINGS. ART EXHIBIT READY. Well Known Topekans Put Their Work on Display. Charles Smith, alias H. J. Adams, Is being tried before a jury in Judge "VVhitcomb's court today for the theft of a horse belonging to J. J. King, a iorth Topeka lawyer. The trial of the case will occupy the entire day. King's horse was stolen last Janu ary. Witnesses told the jury of seeing the animal in the possession of the defendant. and of his efforts to sell or trade the horse. It is also claimed that in order to elude the officers, mith painted the animal another col or and that it had just begun to shed this new coat of paint when King found his horse in Linn county. The defendant was not represented by a lawyer when the case was called for trial and Attorney Graham was appointed by the court to represent 6mith in the trial of the case. FILE LOOMIS WILL. Ralph J. Loomis Named as Admin istrator of Wife's Estate. The will of Elizabeth A. Loomis was admitted to probate today by Judge Schoch, who appointed Ralph J. Loomis. the husband as adminis trator. Mrs. Loomis's estate is valued at J20.000. Among the property listed in the inventory is the business block at 716 Kansas avenue, which Mrs. Loomis owned at the time of her death. len der the provisions of her will, the estate will be divided among the wid ower and five minor children. Mr. I-oomis was named as guardian for the minor children and will look after the division of property rights. HATED THE PREACHER William Cross Told Wife He Was Popular With Girls. Troubles in the Cross family are being told today in Judge Dana's court in the fourth application of Mary A. Cross for a divorce from Wil liam A. Cross. For two hours the wife recountfd the abuses and htimili stion to which she was subjected in her home on the East side. Cross, the wife said, took especial exception to his wife's pastor. Rev. Herbert Buffom. He even threatened to kill the preacher. Mrs. Cross testi fied, if the man visited the home. Once when the minister was in a lo cal hospital Cross unbosomed himself to his wife, stating that he hoped the man would 'lie. There were other men, too. of whom Cross seemfd jealous, but the woman did not name all of them on the witness stand. She was certain that her conduct did not justify the The exhibition of pictures by To peka artists will be ready for public inspection at the city library Tuesday. Over a hundred specimens of the work of local artists are' suspended from the walls and cases of the read ing room, and others will be added this evening. Max Hagendorn, direc tor of the Topeka School of Art, and George M. Stone, the dean of Topeka artists, divide space and honors about even in oil paintings. Each have about 20 canvases on exhibition, arid the corners are well filled with the small er specimens of pen and ink, water color, wash drawing and commercial work of the lesser lights. Closely crowding the oil paintings in beauty and interest, is the pastel work of Miss Frances Mitchell, the only girl member of the art committee, and an artist of unusual ability. Miss Mitch ell studied pastel painting under Henri, in New York. L. L. Sargent, who has been for sev eral years associated with Albert T. Reid, and received most of his artis tic training from that well known ar tist, exhibits a number of wash and water-color studies. Win Fasel, head of the art department of the Capper publications, has several specimens of book illustration, wash drawing and commercial work. Probably the wid est range in art is exhibited by David Overmeyer, who exhibits oil paintings, wash drawings and decorative panels in several mediums. Mr. Overmeyer's oil portrait of a girl and his landscape. "On the Shunganunga," are particul arly attractive. Carl Bolmar has water color sketches made In the mountains of Colorado, and his exhib it of book illustration, "Leaves from Foster's History," is both interesting and instructive. Harve Parsons, of the State Journal, offered a few Jour nal cartoons and examples of repro duction work in the diferent stages between the drawing and the newspa per. The art committee took a look at one of Parsons' offerings, and de cided that hanging was too good for it, so it sits on the corner of the stage in solitary grandeur. Among the forty or more paintings exhibited by Mr. Stone and Mr. Hag endorn, it is hard to chose a few for special mention. Probably the most interesting of Mr. Stone's pictures to Topeka people are the large portraits of Rev. Charles M. Sheldon. Dr. John McClintock and Dr. S. G. Stewart. Among his outdoor paintings of Cali fornia scenes. "A Daughter of San Diego," the property of Mr. Thomas Page, and loaned for the exhibit, is his favorite, although the same beautiful light effects and Hfe-lik figures ap pear in half a dozen others. Prof. Kagendorn's landscapes occupy a ma jor portion of his wall space, but a few examples of his portrait worn prove his ability in that field. His wide range in art is shown by a num ber of specimens of design and decor ative work, ranging from original jewelry designs to book illuminations. One of the most admired paintings in his collection is a landscape with trees in the foreground, which he completed but a few days ago. The art exhibit will be open to the public all this week, beginning Tues day morning, and special arrange ments have been made to open it next Sundav. The exhibit is free. AMUSEMENTS.

With the assistance of the police department several boys were arrested and two were semem-Bu to the Boys' Industrial school by i Judge W. F. Schoch of the juvenile court last week. Morris Jenkins, the chief of police learned last ween tnai the boat was in the possession of Hen- HTil,nn,Arr,ar 1 I ,'flO In t V O fiTflt IJ .UlllUUL'ClfeCl, J j block north of the river on Harrison j street. tie notinea sir, usee w and sent the latter after the boat. In going after the boat. Ogee found Mil tonberger in possession of forty or fifty pounds of Insulated copper wire which was possibly taken off dynamos in the Home elevator in North Topeka. The elevator has been closed to busi naec f rr- mnro than sl vear and the copper wire was said to have been removed from tne dynamo oy uujo who crawled through a broken win dow. Moltonberger was trying to burn the insulation off the wire and had built a fire on the dike along the river. Mr. Ogee reported this to the police and returned, with Officer Nask and took possession of it. The wire is now be ing held at the police station and the police are trying to fli.d somebody who will Identify it. It is practically certain that the wire was taken off from the dynamos in the Home elevator, as the wire has been taken off the dynamos and it is the same size that was on them. Other information has been learned which will aid in establishing an Identifica tion. Roy Gohing started a quarrel and a fight on a street ear while returning from the baseball game Sunday after noon and was arrested. The cause of the quarrel has not been learned but it is reported that he raised a general disturbance and the conductor ordered him off the car. Hostilities continued when he refused and he will be given a chance to explain his conduct to Judge N. B. Arnold in police court at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. Bill Clark has been arrested again and on the same old charge. Bill lives at 116 East Fourth street and is often suspected of selling liquor and main taining a nuisance. Officers England and Woodward visited Clark's place Sunday evening and found a crowd holding a post mortem examination over several bottles of beer. Bill and the beer were taken to the police station Bill is chargd with selling and main taining and the beer is being held for evidence. His hearing is scheduled to begin at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. George Givens and a party of friends were enjoying a keg of beer at 1231 Jackson street Sunday after noon when the police interfered and tcok charge. Givens and his friends allege that it was one of those "chip in" kegs which are permitted by a recent decision of the supreme court. But George made a mistake. He did not attempt to collect the pro rata from each member of the party un til after the police took charge of the program. Officers Voiles, Goff and Lindsay made the arrest. Jailer Al Hopkins has returned to work, after having been off duty ten days and enjoying hi3 annual vaca tion. Detective Frank Summers, who has been working as jailer, has re turned to his usual duties with De tective Otto Anderson. To the Editor of the State Journal: It seems as though some people here in Topeka do not believe that I had $165 and was robbed, that I am not capable of earning that much when I was known as a common la borer by a few people, when I am a boilermaker by trade. I served my apprenticeship in the Santa Fe shops in Topeka, but I have not worked for that company since June, 1910. I went to work for the Union Pa cific Railway company February 3, 1912. in Kansas City, Mo. 1 was sent to Topeka on February 4 to work in the U. P. roundhouse for two weeks, then I returned to Kansas City and worked two weeks more nnrt was aont back to Topeka March 2. I worked here until April 4, when I went back to Kansas City to work. Now here is what bothered the police. They thought because I was sent to To l eka 1 wasn't working. As every one knows, roundhouse men work every day and are paid time and one hfclf for working overtime, and lor vcrking Sundays and holidays. I worked every day in March and worked hard for my money. After I got my expenses paid in Kansas City I had $166.70 and I came to Topeka en No. 17 on the Santa Fe to pay my bills here at home. The $165 "was all in bills in a black morocco billbook in the inside of my vest pocket, where it was stolen. Now I needed this money badly. I have six mouths to feed and now they and all my cred itors have to suffer. I never saw ncr heard my assail ant, but told the police all I could. It seems as though they never can get trace of criminals here in To peka. The article in Saturday's pa per stated perhaps I had the money and was robbed and perhaps I was t'Ot robbed. Perhaps if the police would do their duty this would not have happened. Hope this makes it plain to those who couldn't understand where I got my money.
