RIVAL ARMIES OF 15,000 Pitted Against Each Other In Vicinity of Torreon.. Rebels Driren Back With Loss of Ninety Dead. El Paso, May lO.-The Mexican fed eral army has repulsed the rebel ad vance guard of General Orozco and sharp skirmishes are In progress today, preliminary to what is expected to oe the most decisive battle of the present revolution. Nearly 15,000 men are en gaged on each side and the objective point of the rebels is Torreon. the rail road gateway of northern Mexico. The federals are protecting the city from all sides. The government claims it drew nrst blood yesterday, killing 90 lnsurrectos and losing but seven men, aside from several wounded. In a telegraph office improvised In a boxcar on a desert, 50 miles north of Torreon General Victoriano Huerta, commander of the federal army of northern Mexico, transmitted today b telegraph to an Associated Press rep resentative here news of military de velopments of the last 24 hours. The boxcar stood a few miles from the tow n of Bermejillo. The wire had been set up direct to the federal camp being routed from El Paso via Laredo, Tex.. Monterey and Torreon. a roundabout circuit eastward of more than 1,000 miles. This was made necessary by the seizure of all telegraphic lines di rectly south of here by the rebels. From the improvised telegraph office General Huerta talked enthusiastically of the future battle. General iluerta's Report. 'Yesterday. Thursday, Gen. Rabago completely routed 1,000 rebels at Zara toza and Tlahualilo. both near Tor reon," said General Huerta. "The rebels lost 90 dead and many wounded, while our loss was seven ,i ami a fAw wounded. The rebels were driven back in hasty flight and were pursued by cavalry under Gen. Villa. "On Wednesdav we heard that a de tachment of 1.000 rebels were advanc ing on us and we organized a column which went by railroad under General Rabago. To cut oft retreat we sent over land volunteer and regular cavalry from the forces of Villa. They arriv ed about 6 o'clock Thursday morning and Immediately attacked the rebels. As the fight became more intense, Gen. Rabago arrived and flanked the reb- ala T T ii hart xvt t Vi Him n T-t i 1 1 r V and machine guns. The fight lasted six hours. We completely routed the ene my, and without exaggeration one can say they ran like rats. Our losses were seven wounded nad two killed." Communication was interrupted for a few minutes. "A telegram has just been brought to me from Gen. Trucy Aubert at Cuatro Ciengan which says the rebel chief Salazar was completely routed and is running away in the direction of Sierra Mojada," said Huerta. Couriers in the advance guard at this juncture arrived according to Huerta and informed him that the federal out posts were In possession of the Mexican Central railroad up to within 12 miles of Bermejillo. No communication was had here with the rebel front early today but the lib eral officials here concede they met stubborn resistance in the initial skir mishing. Today is the first anniversary of the surrender of Juarez to Madero and equally important developments in Mex ican history are said to be expected.

Scranton, Pa., May 10. Cayuga breaker of the Delaware, Lackawanna Western company In North Scran ton formed the background of a riot ous demonstration today. Foreign workers were leaders among the crowd of 2,000 men and boys that assembled near the breaker to keep away men who were going to do the necessary work. They were wild in their outcries and defied the squad of local police who an hour be fore had been hurried from every city station on notice from the mine offi cials that trouble was threatened. The idle workers broke through the police lines, rushed the fire rooms and dragged out men, turning them over to others, who beat them and threw them aside. State police on duty all night at the Leggett Creek mine, a mile away. hurried over, and their coming ral lied the local police and together the officers charged the mob. There were shots from the rioters. Bricks, stones and clubs were thrown and the off! cers drew their guns and began to force the crowd back. Some shots were fired by the police as Policeman Peter Marker and Louis Davis fell both with battered heads from cob ble stones. The state troops then rode into the crowd, firing revolvers. Mike Flacka and another foreigner dropped, the former shot through the abdomen and the latter In the leg. The crowd then broke and ran and the police combined to drive them on toward the houses. Two men and a half dozen women were arrested. William Littlejohn, going to fire duty at the Leggett Creek mine, was badly beaten by the women. Fight in Illinois. St. Louis, May 10.

GOOD RAIN FALLS. Xearly an Inch Is Recorded In Topeka. The weather has been pleasant today, but somewhat threatening. The fore low pressue. Itis a common mistake erally fair conditions Saturday. There was some apprehension on the part of some Topeka people today due to the fact that a head line in a To peka paper conveyed the Impression that a cyclone would strike Kansas. "Now 'cyclone,' said "Sunny" Flora this afternoon, "is" lust a term given by weather observers for an area of low pressure. It is a common mistke to call a tornado a cyclone." Rain began falling at 1:05 Thursday night and continued until 3:45 o'clock this morning. The total amount of pre cipitation was .91 of an Inch. Rain has been general in practically all parts of Kansas and western Mis souri since Thursday morning.

FAILED TO SIGN Taft Candidates for National Delegates In California If Elected Will Be Free to Vote as They Please. San FTancisco, May 10. The failure of the Taft delegates In California to sign tho preference and delegates pledges promises an exceedingly com plex situation. Roosevelt supporters already have planned to contest the rights of the delegates should they be elected. Both sides are agreed that the Taft delegates had a legal right to omit signing thu: pledges inasmuch as both pledges, under the law, are op tional but not obligatory. Roosevelt leaders declare the purpose of the ac tion was to save some straggling votes for Taft in the event that Roosevelt carried the majority of the districts. Had they signed the pledges, they would have been obliged to vote for Roosevelt as the delegates pledge binds them "to support that candidate who shall have received the highest number of votes cast throughout the state." From Roosevelt headquarters comes the Intimation that any attempt to seat delegates from scattering districts will be contested on the ground that the Taft men are not delegates from any particular district but delegates at large. John W. Stetson, a Roosevelt leader in California, said: "Their scheme is to take advantage of the provision in the call of the Republican national committee which provides that all presidential primaries must be by dis tricts. They cannot do it because the California law declares for the election of lis delegates by a state wide vote and the convention can not violate that law. "I suppose the Taft men will, if they lose the state, collect the vote by counties in any congressional districts they might carry and try to seat those two delegates at Chicago. But they have overlooked something. Officially there are no dele gates at large. If they choose to contest for the seats of any two Roosevelt men from one district, for Instance, .there is nothing to prevent declaring that those two delegates are delegates at large and not delegates from that particular dis trict." TO STOP INSANE GASES New Organization Will Look After Those Blalsely Accused. New Tork. May 10. The newest or ganization to apply for incorporation under the New York state laws is the "American Society for the Protection of the Alleged Insane," which aims to save sane folks from being held for insanity. The incorporators state that "many cases where sane persons were pronounced insane, committed to in stitutions and ultimately discharged tCopj-risbt: 1812: Br T.

Mrs. Margaret Evans Wright, gen eral secretary of the new society, was released from an asylum at Central Is Up, L. I., last month, after she had convinced the court of her sanity. "A case in point," says the president of the society, "is that of Mary Eliza beth Lewis, who was detained for 22 years in Bloomingdale before she was found to be sane. Another case was that of J. A.

Disease Likely to Be Added to Other Afflictions. New Roads, La., May 10. Flood waters from breaches in the Mississip pi levees that already have carried suf fering to thousands of persons of Louisiana continue to creep southward today and now this town, with its rich outlying country, is threatened. All people living in this territory have been warned to flee. Many, how ever, declare they will not abandon their homes. City, government and state relief officials are preparing for a hard campaign of rescue work. Boats are being gathered here and crews are being drilled. It seems only a matter of a few hours before this entire territory will be Inundated just as the country to the north has been. This means that the state and the government will have to care for thousands more homeless and that the people of Louisiana must bear great additional loss before the. flood waters have turned back. Most of the flood water is coming from the great break in the levee at Torras. This breach is 3,600 feet wide. Water pours through it with the speed of a mill race. This is the third calamity that the people of the Polnte Coupee country have been compelled to face. First came the boll weevil that destroyed the cotton crops. The people disheartened, turned to plant ing cane. Then an early freeze came last winter that destroyed thousands of ton of cane. Now the flood is spread over the entire parish. Crops cannot be planted this year. Prior to this series of disasters Point Coupee, then not under "intensive'' cul tivation, produced 64,000 bales of cotton and 3,000,000 pounds of sugar cane, be side large crops of rice and truck. A new menace showed today when It was discovered that carcasses of hun dreds of animals are floating in the back water between New Roads and Torras. They can neither be buried nor burned. The health authorities were afraid they will bring disease. GOESlMTPRISON Appellate Court Decides Unanimously Against Brandt. New York, May 10. Folke E. Brandt, former valet to Mortimer L.

At last TJncle Sam has been Induced to lend his aid in the Interests of flood pro tection at the mouth of the Kaw river and improve generally Its navigation. For the past several months Senator Curtis has been fighting to have con gress adopt the recommendation of the secretary of war and board of engi neers, which call for an appropriation of $29,000 for the first year, and a subsequent annual appropriation of 3,UUU. According to the recommendations. 11,000 should be expended on the re moval of two dikes at the mouth of the Kaw; $3,000 for the removal of debris and surveys in connection with bridge reconstruction and levee im provement: for additional work need ed in the r --moval of other obstructions in the interests of navigation, $25,000.

Newspapers were sold at a number of downtown corners today without guard for the first time since the beginning of the newspaper strike. The scene of the distribution of "the papers has gradually widened in the last few days until at present it in cludes nearly every section of the city. Following the action of President -J. J. Freel of the Stereotypers International union in revoking the charter of the Chicago union for rebelling against the laws of the organization, more striking stereotypers applied to the newspapers today for reinstatement. A few of the old men have been taken back but it is reported that most of the papers have full crews of stereo typers. BURTON MAY COME., Reported That He Will Be Member of Legislature. It is said that former U. S. Senator J. R. Burton will run tor the legisla ture from Saline county this year on the Democratic ticket. Burton, hav ing sounded all the depths and shoals of political honor and preference and finally reaching the United States senate, the highest place In the land next to president, now begins all over again by running for the legislature. He had won his former offices as a Republican. Now he is of the Demo cratic faith. If Burton comes to the next Kansas house as a Democrat the sessions of that body will not be less interesting than they have been in the past. With his experience and his natural gift of eloquence and the bitterness that is stored up in his soul he should play an important part in council and de bate GALLED IN DREAM. Fireman Sustained His First Accident While Asleep. Chicago, May 10. Hugh M. Top- met his first accident In the business ping, for many years a city fireman, last night while responding to a "dream alarm.". Answering fire alarms has become' purely mechanical with Topping and he declares that many times he has not awakened un til after reaching the scene of the blaze. Topping was sleeping peacefully in the headquarters of his company last night when he dreamed that an alarm had been sounded. He sprang from his bed and m. mo ment later for the brass pole used by the men to slide down to the main floor from the bunk room.

Rooserelt of Oyster Bay. SAYS SO HIMSELF IN LETTER Addressed to His Campaign Manager in Minnesota. Declares All the Big Bosses Are Against Him. New York, May 10. The Roosevelt committee today gave out the following copy of a letter from Col. Theodore Roosevelt to R. A. Caswell of Minne apolis: "New York, May 10, 1912: "Hon. R. A. Caswell, Chairman Roose velt Committee and Clerk of the Su preme Court, Minneapolis, Minn. "I wish it had been possible for me to go again to Minnesota. Unfortunately it is physically impossible. "Nine- states have now held presi dential primaries, or their equivalent- North Dakota. Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Nebraska. Oregon. New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Mary land. These states, the only ones In which there has been a free chance for the expression of the popular will, are to be represented by 256 Ttlegates in the Chicago convention. "Forty of these delegates are In structed for President Taft and 219 are against him. He has carried but two of the nine states New Hampshire and Massachusetts while in Massachusetts the Roosevelt delegates-at-large wer elected by over twice the majority wnicn Mr. Tart obtained on prefer ential vote. "In all the nine states, together about three out of every four Republicans who voted at the primaries were against Mr. Taft. If primaries could bo held in all the states there would un doubtedly be no substantial variation from these figures and Mr. Taft could by no possibility have 200 votes in the Chicago convention. Tart's Chances. "Mr. Taffs chance of lies solely In securing at Chicago dele gates who will misrepresent the will of the people. He can get these dele gates, not in the primary statea hul in the convention states, where dele gates are chosen under the old svstem: and even in these states he can only get iiiera wnere me state is ruled by a boss. "After a prolonged experience of me as president practically all of the big bosses in. the Republican party d&like me so heartily that they op posed Mr. Taft's nomination becauM I favored it. They were afraid that Mr. Taft would give them the soma kind of trouble that I nad given them. Alter tnree years and a half ex- perience of Mr. Taft since he hai been elected, these same men have turned around and heartily favor his re-election. They were ODnoaed to me four years ago and thev are od- posed to me now. They were opposed M. TV 1 had not tried him as president, and they heartily support him now. .These men include for instance. Mr. Gallinger. In New Hampshire, Mr. Aldrich In Rhode Island, Mr. Penrose in Pennsylvania, Mr. Kealine In In diana, Mr. Lorimer, in Illinois, Messrs. Guggenheim and JTvanii In Colorado; Mr. Calhoun and th Southern Pacific railway crowd In California and the Amalgamated cop per crowd in Montana: and in your own state they Include Mr. Smith and Mr. lawney. The fight is a nation wide fight of the plain people against the bosses. He Is the Only Man. "There is Just one candidate whom it Is possible to nominate against the bosses, and that is myself. Every vote for every other candidate from now on is in reality a vote for Mr. Man. "The fight is against the bosses In Minnesota, as it is everywhere else. A vote for Mr. Taft is a vote for the bosses; it is a vote for Lorimer, for Penrose, for Guggenheim, for Gal linger, and for all the rest of them: and it is a vote for these men wheth er it is cast in Minnesota or in Massa chusetts or in Ohio or New Jersey or California. "I became, a candidate only when I became convinced that no other pro gressive candidate could by any pos sibility be nominated against Mr. Taft. The contest has gone so far as to make it now evident that I certainly can be nominated against Mr. Taft and that either I shall be nominated or else a reactionary will be nominated. "It Is also evident that not only every progressive Republican but ev ery man who believes In decency and honesty in politics who Is against boss rule and ror the genuine rule of the people and Is for the elimination of special privileges and for efficient en deavor to secure special and industrial justice can achieve his purposes only by supporting my candidacy. My personal interest is of no con cern one way or the. other but it hap pens that at this time I typify and em body the great cause which can only be furthered by supporting me. Al most everywhere where I have been able to appear personally in this cam paign and fight the bosses we have beaten them and I ask that Minnesota stand beside Oregon and Illinois and Pennsylvania and Nebraska and Maine and Kansas and Maryland in this fight.

HILL WILL SELL ORE. Will Iiease No More Property to the Steel Trust. Duluth, Minn., May 10. After the ex piration of the United States Steel cor poration leases on the Hill ore proper ties in 1915, the Hill interests will mine their own ores and enter the market as independent producers, according to D. M? Philbin, manager of the Hill ore properties. When the first announcement by Louis W. Hill, "We will soon be in the mining business ourselves," made sev eral days ago, ore interests generally anticipated that some cheap ore would be thrown on the market after the steel leases expired. Mr. Philbin said today "There will be no cheap Hill ores in the market at any time. An organiza tion to develop the Hill iron lands and operate the mines, on somewhat the same plaji as the Oliver Iron Mining company operates for the steel corpor ation, will be effected. The Hill inter ests positively will grant no more leases to other interests. "By the time the steel corporations lease expires the Hill interests will be prepared to sell and deliver a large tonnage annually. The ner system doubtless will be more profitable to us per ton of ore than under the present lease." WEATHER RE00R0.

Cost Only Twenty-Eight Hun dred Dollars to Carry State. WILL BE -ONE BIG RACE Two Actiye Candidates for State Treasurer's Job. May Also Be a Scramble for Lieutenant Gorernor. Henry Allen, president of the Kan sas Roosevelt club, declares that the expense of the Roosevelt campaign in this state juet closed totaled only $2, 800. Most of this money was spent for postage, printing, telephone and telegraph and expense of speakers, ac cording to Mr. Allen. In his Beacon, Mr. Allen refers to the Roosevelt ex pense account as follows: "Charles F. Scott of the Iola Reg ister is demanding that the Roosevelt managers print a list of their cam paign expenses. It wouldn't take long to do it. The Roosevelt headquarters spent about $2,800, most of it for postage, telephone, printing and of fice rent. A few dollars went to pay traveling expenses of workers. "Of this $2,800 about $1,500 came from the Roosevelt national head quarters, $500 was contributed by wildly enthusiastic friends In Kansas and we owe $800 which will be con tributed "by other enthusiastic Kansas men, some of whom are pure patriots and some either have held or are now holding or hope at some future time to hold public office. "If Mr. Scott wishes to Join this class- and will. send us his check for $25 we will give him an itemized statement of how every penny was spent, and a .list ot 'all the donors to the little fund, and he can then print the entire nefarious statement in his paper and the cost of it will be cheap enough. The statement will be accompanied by as many oaths as he likes from Mr. Harris and his oth er assocates at the headquarters who handled the fund and an oath bound statement from the president of the Roosevelt club to the effect that he believes the office force is telling the truth about the matter. "If, as Mr. Scott indicates, there is a strong demand for this information the $25 we are asking is cheap enough for the sworn affidavit, and we sure do need the money. "We believe that if we had a mil lion dollars in a slush fund we couldn't have bought half the Taft men any way. Like Mr. Scott, they are set in their ways." Earl Akers has resigned ills place as executive clerk in the governor's office and is now at work getting up his peti tions for state treasurer and .will send them out over the state at once. Akers has decided to make the race. The race for the nomination for state, treasurer will be a warm one. Walter Payne, bond clerk in the treasurer's office for many years, is a candidate, and has been for a year past. Akers is just getting into the race. Akers has been editor and owner of the Stafford Republican for many years. He got into the political game a little more than a year ago when he won the race for clerk of the last house of repre sentatives. He made many friends in that position and later Governor Stubbs appointed him chief clerk in the office. Akers is a good mixer and is an active, competent young man. He will make a great race in the August primary and he has a strong man to beat. The other state office for which there will be a contest among Republicans at the August primary will- be that of state superintendent. Supt. Fairchild, who has held the office three terms with great credit, will not again be a candi date. Lee Harrison, D. W. Ro3s and Eli Payne are candidates. It is pot likely that there wHl be a "How did the Bird know that" Plain talk is the only way we believe in expressing the plain methods of our busi ness.

Senator Glenn .f Greeley, may also be a candidate and there is also talk of Joe Mercer. Charlie Sessions, secretary of state, and Will Davis, state auditor, will be pretty sure to be given second terms .n their records without a suggestion of opposition that is hnown at this time. Justices Johnson an! Burch of the su preme bench are asking for renomina tion this year. It had been thought that Judge Buckman of Winfield, speaker of the last house, would try for the bench this year, but he ha3 decidad not to make the race. The governorship fight has narrowed down to a contest between Arthur Cap per and Frank Ryan. Governor Stubbs will start his cam paign for U. S. senator in the next few days. He has been waiting until ths Roosevelt fight is settled. It has been reported that he will begin hostilities next week. Neither Stubbs nor Capper would agree to endorsement at the state convention even though they had a ma jority of the delegates on their side. They wanted to make it a strictly Roosevelt affair.

TO IMPROVE KAW. (Continued from Page One.) Senator Curtis offered an amend ment to the river and harbor bill in the senate providing for this improve ment in accordance with the recom mendations of the war department. He asked for the full appropriation of $29,000 as recommended." His amendment was hotly contested be cause the senate committee had made no provision for it in the bill. But this did not deter the- indomitable Curtis. He insisted that the time.had arrived when the government must render some substantial aid in protect ing life and property on the Kaw and improve its navigation make it a safe, commercial river. Gets Compromise Appropriation.- When it was found that the senate would not agree to carry out the rec ommendations of the board of engi neers in appropriating the total amount of $29,000, then Senator Cur tis urged an appropriation of $4,000 for the preliminary work. This prop osition the senate readily agreed to, and the Curtis amendment was adopt ed. The amendment provides for the removal of two dikes at the mouth of the river and surveys in connection with the removal of debris, bridge re construction and levee improvements. On the subject of improving tha Kansas river, the board of engineers has this to say: "The board believes that the Kansas river, from Argentine to the mouth, a distance of about five miles, is worthy of improvement by the gener al government to the extent of keep-' ing an open channel in the river, in forcing the removal of obstructions and the raising of the bridges, and the general supervision by the war de partment -as to encroachments on the harbor lines. "The work of necessary dredging and construction of special improve ments at the mouth he believes can best be estimated for and recom mendations made after the work of the Kaw Valley drainage district is further advanced. The division engi neer concurs in the recommendation of the district officer. "The commerce of the stream is lo cal in character, consisting- largely of sand dredged from the river and transported to the banks near by. It being apparent that the main purpose of the improvement is in the interests of flood protection, the board request-ed-that all persons known to be inter ested be invited to submit their views as to the probable resulting benefits to general coijHnerce and navigation. A number of replies have been re ceived and considered. "In view of tfce apparent responsi bility resting upon the bridge owners and local interests to remove the ob structions resulting from the flood wreckage of bridges, the board does not concur in the opinion that the United States should undertake any part of this removal, unless it be comes apparent hereafter that it can Bet be accomplished otherwise and is MIEATjeVOUS General Rains in Springand Hard Winter Territory Tend to Give Encouragement to the Bear Side. CORN GAINS SOME STRENGTH On Prospects of Further Delay to Planting. Provisions Are Weak Owing to Recent Poor Demand.. Chicago, May 10. WHEAT General rains all through the spring crop and hard winter territory had a tendency to day to ease off the price of wheat. Re ports of large sales of the cash grain here caused a temporary rally. Bears were encouraged to some extent by news of liberal arrivals at Liverpool and by ca bles telling of free offerings from India and Argentina. The opening was c lower, to a shade up. July started at LMHU4fi, varying from c off to a- sixteenth ad vance, declined to $1.141.144, ran up to $1.14g-1.14 and again fell back to $1.151.14. Assertions that North Dakota acreage would fall 30 to 40 per cent under last year brought a temporary upturn but re alizing sales carrier the market lower than before. Closing prices weer weak with July Jc net lower at $1.131.13. CORN Prospects of planting being fur ther delayed gave some strength to corn. The bearish tone of wheat, however, act ed as an offset. July opened He lower to a shade up at 78Vi78c to 78c, touched 7878c and then sagged to 78c. Prices hardeend for a time when wheat became firm. The close was steady at 78c for July, a net loss of Uc. OATS Buying on the part of a long house lifted the oats market at first. Prices receded though on profit taking July started c down to a like advance at 64e to 64c and declined to 64454c. PROVISIONS Provisions showed decid ed weakness, the result, it was said, of recent poor demand for consumers, nota bly in lard. First sales were 67c to 17 (&,20c lower with September delivery $19.52 to $19.60 for pork, $11.02 to $11.10 for lard and $10.6O&10.60 for ribs. RYE No. 2, 951,4c. BARLEY 78ca $.132.

Notes of the Game. Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip WHOA! To those who do not understand, we will explain that the bleacher fans have invented this method of venting their displeasure on Kissane as he walks around the diamond. Kissane doesn't seem to enjoy the attention particularly. Callahan drew two passes after he had pickled the first one pitched on his first trip to the plate yesterday. The pitchers seem to have considerable respect for the war club of the new short fielder. Tommy Mee was there on the third corner yesterday. He looks much bet ter there than at short. The young ster has played third before so the job isn't new to him. It will be remembered that some of the Topeka papers remarked that "Jack Holland had dumped Jim Dur ham back on Wichita," when the transfer was made early this spring. We didn't get sore at Jack then, and we still feel pretty cordial toward him as far as that deal is concerned. Middleton got three out of four, and came close to getting another. Lee juggled the ball just a fraction of a second and the Flat Rock kid had it beat. Phil Koerner will be back in the game by Sunday if his finger continues to improve. Stark H playing a good game at first, but hasn't got his batting eye into action to any extent as yet. l ne same teams again today at the usual hour, 3:30 p. m.

Umpire Gabe George.. fetruck outBy Logan. 13; by Grice, Dwyer's club is at home for the pur pose of resuming the argument with Denver. It is a safe bet that Bill will have his daughter at every game pos sible during the series. Bill's daughter has never seen him lose a game and he wants to get back at Denver for those three straight. Also he wants to boost his standing. Wichita and Des Moines are not so very far ahead. The Witches count upon the series -with the Kaws to boost their standing in the won and lost table. The Links made the going bad for Hughes and his crew. Which is not at all surprising. You will remember that a statement was recently made in this column con cerning the Links and their playing. The statement that if they continued to play as they had here they would win a lot of games. It still holds good. The club is being gradually strengthen ed and will continue, it is likely, to make going bad for the teams which run into it. Meanwhile it wouldn't be a bad idea for the Kaws to get in on the count at Wichita. Omaha, which has not been within sight for some time is now within speaking distance. They show ed the Joseys an awful time recently. But after the present series the Kaws and Rourke s hopes will mix. If the two teams keep their present positions there should be a battle royal on the Rourke lot beginning: Monday. De spain has purchased Planter, a pitcher, from the Kansas City team. St. Joseph has already begun to fight it out for the championship with Den ver. Meanwhile there are six other teams who figure that they still have a chance left. The donists there claim that neither the Bears nor the Drum mers have been playing at too fast a pace to be kept up all summer. But the next four months may develop a lot of baseball in the Western League, just the same as the past week has done. "Bill" Maxey, well known here, has been cast adrift by Kahl at Manhattan. Kahl is cutting and slashing at bis giant squad in the hope of getting it to the limit by May 29. Mee has been shifted to third at Wichita and is said to be getting away nicely. Meanwhile Callahan is putting away the short field Job with ease. The writers in the Windy Wonder are throw ing fits over his splendid playing. The Topeka Midgets and the Santa Fe team will open the season here Sat urday on the Santa Fe grounds. Before the game a parade will be given on Kansas avenue. The parade is to begin at 1 o'clock and the game will be called at 3 o'clock. The Santa Fe Apprentice band will play in the parade. Both team's are fast and a nice article of ball should be played. As the Kaws are away from home it might be a good idea to spend a Quarter with the boys and enjoy a tight, fast .amateur game of baseball. Kissane isn't any more popular in Wichita than in Topeka. The scribes there raise their voice in protest of some of his decisions. Kissane's repu tation, if we remember right, was made in Omaha. Outside Rourke's town he has never been, so far as we know. suspected of being an umpire. They are also prodding the crowds along in Wichita. If the attendance isn't bet ter when the team gets home we re going to take back a lot of things said about Wichita. Jack Haskell's first tumble from the waterwagon for the season has been chronicled. Is it a matter of news when Jack tumbles? Will the Denver sport writers please take time to explain Just how it hap pened 7 The Kaws will not be home for sometime and even then, may for get it. poorly but the batting of the visitors was timely.

FCXXi LEASED WIRE REPORT OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is 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 la received in The State Jour al building over wires for this sole pur pose. The appeal of the woman's suffrage workers in Kansas for funds to carry on their fight should not fall on deaf ears. Theirs is the worthiest of causes. Colonel Roosevelt seems to have won out in Maryland by the narrow major! ty of 80. votes. And this is styled by his friends as another "convincing" victory. If President Taft were just one-tenth as black as Colonel Roosevelt endeavors to paint him, congress would have in Etituted impeachment proceedings against him long ago. From the experience he is certain to get as a member of the Republican national committee. William Allen White should have no trouble in writ lng a novel entitled "A Certain Poor Politician." That the Rev. Mr. Richeson was once a Mormon is characterized as a lie by his attorney. But this attorney will surely have to admit that his client conducted himself as one In the plur ality of his love affairs. There will be no General Grants in the Methodist church from now on. Its quadrennial conference has decided to prohibit the election to any kind of an ofHcership. in the conference of any man who uses tobacco in any form. Surely nothing but good can come of the proposal of the Topeka Industrial council that there be a full and free discussion in the' nature of a debate on the proposition of the state print ing the textbooks for the public schools. In likening Mr. Roosevelt to "Wash ington in his speech as permanent chairman of the Republican state con vention. Governor Stubbs over looked the fact 1 Washington established the precedent against any man holding a third presidential term. These stories that Colonel Roosevelt (will bolt his party and head an inde pendent ticket if he fails to win at Chicago are exceedingly reasonable in view of his previous emphatic an nouncement that he would abide by the decision of the Republican national convention. Likerwisa, out in the progressive state of Washington Professor Wilson ob tained only a few crumbs from the pickings of Champ Clark's noun' dawg. There will' assuredly have to be a re vision of the famous Missouri song. No one seems to be disposed nowadays to kick that houn' around. Was Fred Stanley within the whole truth when he insisted in his speech as temporary chairman of the Kansas Republican state convention thaf. the Democrats were especially gifted as "knockers?" Any party would have to go some to have more "knockers" than those possessed by the Republican party of today. "When you hear me squeal because X"m being hit then you'll notice it," was the comment of Colonel Roosevelt on President Taft's assertion that he was toeing "hit below the belt." As a mat ter of fact, though, hasn't the colonel been squealing good and loud at the many blows that have reached his vulnerable parts? A recount of the votes in the Mas sachusetts primary shows that Presi dent Taft lost fully 15 per cent of the ballots undoubtedly intended for his delegates-at-ktrge through error on the part of the voters in marking their bal lots. A primary that is so Intricate that the voters are unable to express their will is worse than no primary at all. At the suggestion of Dr. Crumbine of the state board of health, the city commissioners are .considering the ad visability of adopting an ordinance that will compel Topekans to keep theii premises clean and sanitary and there by prevent flies from having breeding places in innumerable places about town. The ordinance should be passed. As rr. Crumbine points out, the most effective way to battle with the flies is to swat them before they arrive. Unless Mr. Bryan thinks that Gover nor Harmon is likely to be the com promise candidate that the Democratic national -convention will choose, why is he carrying on a vigorous campaign against him in his own state? Governor Harmon is one of the candidates for the Democratic presidential nomina tion who hasn't obtained a single dele gate as yet. Mr. Harmon would need 17 times as many delegates to land the nomination on the first ballot than he can get in his home state if he gets all of those. CALIFORNIA CP AGAINST IT. In her strenuous and voluminous ad vertising campaign for settlers of all sorts, California has evidently bitten off more than she can chew. Postcards are now coming from San Francisco and other points in that state warning laborers against corning there in searcn of employment. They state that there is not nearly enough work for the resl dents. And these cards are illustrated with pictures of actual suffering on the part of workers of all classes who have gone there, only to -discover that em ployment in their lines is far from be ing had for the asking. In other words, the possibility of uni versal prosperity that California ha3 been holding out to ail classes of men and women who might come thither ward, has been in the nature of a dream on the part of the California boosters. For the most part they are men who have land to sell. But In advertising their land which will grow citrus fruit, etc., if any one has large capita; to invest and is in a position to war a few years for something in the way of returns, the California real estate men have pictured their state as a ver itable mecca where ail men could get rich quick or obtain a good livelihood in the pursuit or practice of their trades or professions. On the strength of these advertise ments there has been a great rush to California during the past few years, and the postal cards mentioned, give visible evidence that many are sorely sorry they took their steps in that di rection. California Is a great state with wondrous possibilities in the way of the development of its agricultural and horticultural resources. But it is no more wondrous in this respect than is Kansas and other states on the way to the Pacific coast. In Kansas and other states hereabouts there is always a de mand for skilled workers in every trade, whether or not they have money to In vest in farm lands or orchards. And on the other hand, such investiments in Kansas land will bring a larger propor tionate return than they will in Cali fornia. You can grow as good and as much alfalfa, for instance, on a Kan sas acre that sells at from $75 to $lou as you can on an acre of California land that is held at $500. AS TO PCBLIC OWNERSHIP. Signs are not wanting that the grad ual decline in the personnel of the or dinary city council in Great Britain, if it was not caused by, has been con siderably hastened by, the plunge into public pwnership, writes Sydney Brooks, in the May number of The North American Review. Every ex tension of the duties undertaken by the local authorities means that they have so much the less time to devote to their primary functions of civic ad ministration and that additional la bor.- often complex and exacting, is thrown upon the elected representa tives. The busy and- prosperous mer chant or professional man, whose sa gacity and independence are essential to the proper discharge of municipal responsibilities, grows less and less willing to place his leisure and ex perience at the service of the com m unity when the work expected of him Is such as might well monopolize his whole time and attention. The consequence Is that a less efficient and less disinterested type of candidate is forthcoming in his place, that the composition of the local administra tlve bodies is liable to wide fluctua tions, that the average of business ca pacity is lowered, and that power is more and more deflected Into the hands of the permanent officials. Again, with every step taken to en large the area of municipal trading, the local authority adds to the risk of finding itself engaged in "the politics of labor" and exposed to disputes with or capture by the trades-unions. The greater the number of rate paid em ployees, the greater also Is the danger that the conditions of their employ ment will be made issues at the elec tions and that candidates will be voted for or against according as they prom ise or decline to support the demand for higher pay or shorter hours. Noth ing could well be more demoralizing than conditions' under which on the one side the vote is regarded mainly as an instrument of personal advantage and on the other weak-kneed candi dates are intimidated and conscien tious candidates repelled by the elec tioneering pressure of the municipal ity's own servants. The best men will not willingly enter civic life under such conditions, and if once the lead ing men of the neighborhood acquire a distaste' for municipal service Brit ish local government must decline. MORE TRADE WITH CANADA. Even without reciprocity this country continues to make remarkable gains In its trade with Canada. The Dominion is moving ahead at a great pace and the lion's Bhare of Canadian growth in foreign commerce falls to the Ameri can eagle. Great Britain is aided by preferential duties intended expressly to increase the share of the United Kingdom In the imports of the great country in North America which flies the Union Jack, but nevertheless the major part of the gains in Canada's Import trade go to the United States. This tendency was never more marked than it is now. The Cana dian market was never before so pro fitable to the manufacturers and mer chants of the United States. In the year ended with February the trade of the Dominion with the United Kingdom increased $18,342,000, or not quite 8 per cent, In the same period the Canadian trade with tbe United States was augmented by $63,582,240, or about 15 per cent. "The American gain was three and one-half times as large as the British. In that fiscal year the total imports of the Dominion Jncreased about $81, 820,000, and this country got all of the gain except S12.000.000. In the same time the total trade of Canada with the United States was over $453,000,000. With the British Isles it was $260,000,000, Nothing will stop this gradual com ing together of the two countries which have a frontier about 3,000 miles Ions and have much in common in their vital interests. Language, Institutions, prod ucts, methods of business, books and periodicals, unceasing travel across the boundary and other agencies drawing them into closer relations will prove much stronger than any possible inter ference in the form of legislation or politics. Nature has made it impossible for any other country to compete sue cessfullv with the United States for the foremost place in the trade of Can ada.

Harleth quoted with elab orate mock deference, his hand on his neart, as he bowed himself away from Mrs. Austell. She sent two looks after him though others were crowding round ner. in her way she was a person age, at least when she let herself be persuaded to give one of her Intimate xaiKS on lire and things. In some body's parlors. Critical folks said sfc. could die with a happy consciousness tnat she must have advocated the right things at least half her time. since she had a habit of believing ev- erytning and going about proclaim ing her belief of the time. Just now she was ardent for suf frage. Militancy seemed to her the finest thing in the world, a flame of pure martyr enthusiasm which was bound to lighten the world. Yet that pestilent Harleth had dared to laugh of her eulogies of window breaking instead of being converted to them. It was intolerable. She must somehow punish him, even she had to go to the length of capti vating him. He deserved no less. Then, too, might it not. be possible tnus to win him over to the cause Mentally she took stock of herself. She was still very beautiful, if a bit lull-blown; she had fortune, position tne prestige of family. .And thou she had openly vowed herself to the cause, if she could win It so eloquent an advocate by the sacrifice of her liberty, it was clearly her duty to do it. votes for women might look dif ferently to him through the vista of a wedding ring. And It should be yellow wedding. On that she decided Instantly with girl ushers and twenty bridesmaids at least. The parson would have to be masculine. He must at least be a bishop; and the odious masculine injustice kept wom en from that high dignity. Yet, on tne whole, she was quite reconciled to the bishop, he would give the needed accent of contrast and so enhance the distinction of it all. Certainly a strategist or diplomat of the first water was smothered in .her by petticoats. She had come to Highview, Harleth's aristocratic home suburb, to stay but a day and night. Yet she so managed matters that she appeared to be constrained again3t her will to stay there a week. .Every a ay ox tne week brought her- some touch with Harleth. Every day, also, In a manner deepened her determina tion to snatch him a brand from the burning of his unbelief. Too wise, too feminine, to thrust herself upon him too wily to bore him with her beliefs, she showed herself simply womanly charming, and so much so Harleth wondered no little how she could -jos-sibly want to be anything more. A seasoned celibate, he was in some ways even wiser and wilier than she. In others he was a child. a lamb ready for sacrifice. But he did not know he was ready. It is doubtful if he would ever have found out in time but for the other woman. The other woman was, on the face of things, an antagonist Mrs. Austell had no need to fear, being pale. plump, shortish, quite undistinguished as to feature, with snapping blue eyes, and a temper of her own. Harleth liked the temper better than anything else about her. They were cousins, distant ones, and he had tyrannized over her from the day of pigtails. But in one way she had a gift she could cook as few women can Moreover, she was proud,- not ashamed, of the gift, and delighted to exercise It. William Harleth dined with her once a week, whenever he was at home. In between he had a way of dropping in for five-minute calls, which ended commonly in some plun- derings of her pantry, or at least her cake box. Being thus a cook, heaven born, she was essential to all the functions of Mrs. Austell. Not in any paid capacity--she had money enough to live as she chose. It pleased her greatly to help out friends and neigh bors. In return for her cakes, they could do no less than invite her to every thing. More than half the time she stayed away, or rather went home after seeing everything was as good as it could be made. But to one af ternoon company rather' early in the game she stayed. What she saw de termined her to do several things. -She ordered in haste, from the city, two frocks quite eclipsing anything in Highview. Next she waved her hair, and after that she took her grandmother's silver and Jewelry out of the bank, filled her house with flowers, light and people, and gave a final party for the advocate of suf frage. "A blow out" was her ovn phrase for it, she being of the' sort that speaks straight as it thinks. All this meant, .of course, that she would be very busy. Mrs, Austell was charmed at the thought of coming. The other 'wo man's name was Vanmere, her home a true colonial house, full of antiques. Moreover, Edith "Vanmere herself had appeared very receptive- It would be only a less triumph for the cause to convert her than to take Harleth cap tive for life. It annoyed her a trifle to find that Miss Vanmere laid heavy commands On Harleth; also, that he obeyed them meekly,, even when obedience took him from her presence. "Ed thinks she owns me and I reckon she does come near it," he ex plained to the visitor, who did her best to mask discomfiture with an en gaging smile. The smile might have faded had she been able to read the' Vanmere mind. Edith had seen through her Edith would have none of her sort- In the family. Moreover, if William -Harleth was by .way of be ing a fool in some things, he was a gentleman, also helpless being a man; iMith must save him. She was pearly as much interested in doing it as In the-entirely new plum cake she was evolving for the party. Many schemes came to her. One by one she turned them over In her mind and dismissed them as Imprac tical. Then all in a flash the solu tion came so simple It made her blush to think she had overlooked It. Two bodies cannot occupy the same space, not even when the bodies are fingers, the space a wedding ring. The only real salvation for William Harleth, now that women were grown so bold, was a wedding ring, set fast by law and gospel upon the right fin gei. Harleth was bidden to dine with her before the party. Notwithstanding Its imminence, notwithstanding Edith's labors for it, the dinner was as perfect as a dinner could be. At tne end there were samples- of the delectable plum cake. The response it evoked from Harleth was a suffi cient reward. Later when the crowd had gathered, a crowd, that held the best of all Highview, It gasped a bit to see Edith In trailing cloth of silver, softened with Illusion and old lace, jewels gleaming upon a neck that was sin gularly smooth and white, and nod ding above hair, piled in wavy masses tiuove a smootn brow.. She looked what she was, a grande dame. But underneath the grandeur there was the same bubbling good humor, and sharp, clean-cut speech. Finery was no oar to her special ministrations wnen it came to serving supper. She made three of the richest men pres ent wait upon Mrs. Austell under her own direct supervision. When It came to the plum cake Mrs. Austell exclaimed: "This is not food nectar, or maybe ambrosia, rather! Dear Miss Vanmere, life owes you something for it. I feel you are going to be one of us. Pray, pray tell me, what we shall -demand for you when we come to our own in reward for anything so heavenly.' "Oh, nothing," Edith said, laugh ing softly. "Nothing!" Mrs. Ansrtell echoed. -xou are unjust to yourself. "I think not you see I have my rewara, n;a lth answered saucily, though her -color mounted. "You see, I told Billy Mr. Harleth tonight, I shouldn't ever make any more of this cake until I made it for my husband -and he proposed at once."

Taft was tho most honorable, capable and deserving man In the country; this year, he is the most dishonorable, the most Incapable, and the most undeserving. This has been politics as far back as history gives a record. Thousands of years ago, the. Insurgents won, and drove the stand pat king out of the country. Thereupon the insurgents ruled with so much insolence that in a few years the people revolted, and Invited the stand pat king to return from exile. Then the king used his authority to prosecute the insurgents, and this he kept up until the people rebelled again, and cut oft his head. When the insurgents were in power, they did nothing to remedy public wrong and extravagance; whea the king of the stand pats was recalled, he was equally bull-headed and dis honorable. The people were about equally divided, in factions, and In stead of striving for the common good, they tried to rob each other, incidental ly encouraging every bad trait in human nature. Occasionally we have Jumped from the fire into the frying pan, but progress has been dlscourag ingly slow in politics. Individuals have accomplished great results, and tha country has benefited by their energy and intelligence, but, enmasse, the' peo ple are almost as ineffective as they ever were. And although all. the coun try's greatness is Cue to the efforts of individuals who have learned the les sons of experience, today we are trying to throw business into the clumsy hands of politics, where a thing that should be done is placed on the table, ruled out of order, referred to a com mittee, or postponed in some other way. Not only are we trying to give politicians the management of business, but also we are trying to give them the management of our private lives, by means of socialism. The wisest men are all of the opinion that we have too many disturbing elections, and that elections should be less frequent. But Instead of adopting this suggestion, the people are now screaming for the re call, which means more political cam paigns than we have had. Ed. Howe In his Monthly Magazine for May.

It is esti mated that 100,000 persons have besn rendered homeless by the breaking of the levees. Parts of thirteen parishes have become inland lakes. There has been some loss of life In that region. as there was when the levee broke near Beulah, Miss., and rescue work has been undertaken with the help of a fleet of boats, many persons being re moved to places of safety from the roofs of their houses. Relief Is, of course, afforded to the scores of thous ands of refugees wherever possible. Food, shelter and clothing are somehow made available and the federal govern ment has given its aid in forwarding' and distributing supplies. Congress Is considering a Joint resolution to appro, priate $1,239,179 for the temporary relief or sufferers In the Mississippi and Ohla river valleys. A bill has been Intro duced In the house to appropriate $100. 000 for seed corn and other necessities for the farmers in the flooded sections. Prevention of future calamities of this sort should be a prime object with the federal- and state, governments. Col. Townsend of the Mississippi river com mission, an army engineer, will soon begin a comprehensive campaign to this end. The country affected Is per haps the richest in the world and its development as a section of Immense agricultural wealth Is held back mainly by the peril of floods. Chicago News. AS TO FRACTIONAL COINS. The withdrawal of the opposition of the treasury department to the coin age of additional denominations of money is expected to facilitate the passage of the bill Introduced by Rep resentative Buckley of Ohio providing for the coinage of 3-cent and V4-cent pieces, but serious opposition is likely to come from another quarter. The demand for the 3-cent coin comes from Cleveland, Ohio, where the cent carfare has beer, adopted. Trac tion companies in other cities fear that the coinage of a 3-cent piece will give rise to an agitation for the 3-cent fare in the communities they serve, and it is probable that they will exert all the Influence they are able to comma.,. against the passage of the Buckley bill Whether or not this will be sufficient to kill the bill remains to be seen. Aside from its use In Cleveland, or In any other city or cities that may adopt the 3-cent fare, there does not seem to be any demand for or need of the proposed 3-cent piece, and so far as the half -cent is concerned. In the pres ent range of prices of various com modities the one cent piece 1 m,-,m- clently small for all purposes.

IT MAY CHANGE RAGE. M et Weather Piles Vp Double Headers In Big Leagues. New Tork. May 10,-The wet weath has been un precedent in the history of baseball v have so many post- pon-ement, been necessary. Aside from affecting the gate receipts, which is an fmportant item, when discussing a baseball season, the wet weather may in the end change the appearance and result of the whole pennant tilt The series of double headers, which is bound to result, will benefit the teams with the strongest pitching starts, numerically speaking, and the ciubs which had proposed to attemp to stumble" through the schedule with two or three headline twirlers and the rest of the staff in dependable quali ties will be up again-t it when several double headers in succession are call ed for by the revised schedule. The wet weather and poor condi tion of the grounds have resulted in many athletes being Injured because of the uncertain footing, and this has broken up teams so mercilessly that many of the bright chances of clubs before the season opened are now very dull and tarnished. All these things have led to an agitation to start the season later, because the weather has been so consistently bad this spring. TO WASH DOG'S TEETH Each Bull Has His Own Privat Tooth Brash. San Francisco, May 10. Miss Jennie Crocker, heiress to some J10.000.CKX. who has gone east to purchase a trousseau, left behind orders that earn dog in hvr JlfiO.OOO kennels at Hillsborough should have its teeth brushed with its own brush twice daily and its nails manicured once a week. A weary kennel man who rame to town to forget about it. is cred ited with this information. The tooth brushing occurs when each dog wakes in the morning, and again at bedtime. Thi manicuring is said to be an after thought of a fight which occurred two weeks ago when a school boy drifted into the ken ned yard and unchained two prize bull dogs -at the same time. Individual beds, with appropriate linen for each dog. as provided by Miss Flor ence Hopkins of Menlo Park for her toy dogs, are said ot have proved imprac ticable in the Crocker kennels, because of the tendency of high bred bulldogs to chew up the sheets.

The bridge is 200 feet up stream from the Spokane falls and passengers saw his body rise to the urface and plunge over the falls into Um whirlpool below.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MAY ,10, 1912 IS IN A NEW ROLE i Secretary of State Writes Su preme Court Brief. oeto w, Ji will (Sive tee ft n 11 a Supports His Contention About Change of Venue.v Charles Sessions, secretary "of state, has filed his brief In the friendly suit brought by the attorney general in the supreme court to decide whether or not the amendment to the constitution passed by the legislature of 1903 can bo placed on the ballot this year for the people to vote upon. The amendment provides for change of venue by the tate in criminal cases. It is not often that a state officer not a lawyer writes his own brief in case of a lawsuit regarding state mat ters. He generally gets the attorney general to do this work. But in this case the attorney general is on the other side of the case. Sessions did not want to spend the money from his office fund for a lawyer, and besides, he said he could not afford it. So he wrote the brief himself. And he did a better job than most lawyers can do. Sessions used to be a newspaper man and he is versatile and competent In what he undertakes. His brief is a remarkable piece of work for a lay man. Law Is Common Sense. "In view of the opposite opinions held by the two attorney generals on this question, the only thing left for the secretary of state to do is to let the court settle the controversy. "If the court should hold that the resilution was legally adopted, then the defendant asks that, the writ be denied, because it is now too late to submit the amendment- to the people. "Law is common sense. Not only that, but it is supposed to be couched in common sense language so that it can be easily understood by the com mon people. The ordinary citizen is not expected to have a lawyer em ployed constantly to tell him what every new law means. The law is sup posed to mean what it says and say what it means. And state officers, like other common people, have a right to believe that it does mean what It says. ."The attorney general admits the weakness of: his "cause when he says that he 'does not approach this prob lem with that degree of assurance which he usually assumes in uphold ing his side of a lawsuit.' "The -only peg which the attorney general hangs any hope on in this case is that the time fixed in the amendment Itself is 'directory,' not mandatory. It seems to the defendant that the lawyers overwork old 'Direc tory.' Every time they get in a hole they call upon old 'Directory' to help them out. They should give old 'Di rectory a rest by doing things when the law says they should be done. "The defendant has always been led to believe by lawyers and judges that Judge Cooley la as great an authority on constitutional law as Dick Cooley Is on baseball. Shot at Dawson. "The plaintiff says in discussing this resolution: 'The governor could not stop It." That may be true, but the defend ant will not admit it. It has been de cided in the' past, that the governor could do a lot of things that the at torney general did not think he could do. and the defendant is making no prediction as to what the governor can or can not do. i "The applicant avers that the pro posed amendment is one of great im portance to the people of Kansas and that the lapse of time has lessened in no degree the wisdom, expediency and necessity for such a change. The de fendant aims to keep reasonably well posted as to what the people are de manding. He comes in touch with many men who claim to be close to the people, and he reads quite a num ber of newspapers, which are sup posed to be the palladium of the peo ple. And he confesses that he hna discovered no general uprising of the whole people for this amendment. The demand, so far as he is able to locate it, comes from the Hon. Attorney-general, Professor William E. HigginS and District Judge J. C. Rup penthal. The State Bar association may have an Incidental interest in the matter. Now, those three may be the voice of the entire people, but the de fendant is from Missouri and must be shown. "The fact is the present secretary of state has enough troubles of his own trying to administer the laws and business relating to his office, as he now finds them, without digging back Into the remote past trying to find something to do that h'is predecessors forgot or failed to do. He is ready and willing at all times to do his duty, but he will not reflect upon the judgment. In Buying a the eye and ear can judge the beauty of the case and tone, but you must look to the NAME for reliability of construction and the as surance of qualities that will endure.

The session was held in the secretary of states office and the Seabrook people saw to it that their side of the case was prop erly presented.

Witness Testifies Regarding Contract for the Culm Property. Washington, May 10.- William P. C. Boland and C. G. Boland of the Marion Coal company.Scranton, Pa., were sum moned today by the house judiciary committee to testify in the hearing of charges against Judge Robert W. Archbald of the commerce court. ,Wm. Boland is one of the accusers of the jurist- and furnished the department of justice with information relative to an option from the Erie railroad pro cured by Judge Archbald and Edward J. Williams on Culm bank property. Bolands will appear when the com mittee has concluded its examination of Williams who was recalled to the stand. Mr. Williams was asked by Chair man Clayton if on Wednesday he had said that Judge Archbald had offered to give bond to Vice President Conn of the Laurel line to protect him against damages that might be sought from the Eberhart estate on a claim against the Katydid Culm bank. "I didn't testify that there," sale Williams, "but I offered to give bond to protect the Culm bank- property against any claims." Did Judge Archbald know about it?" "Yes, I talked to him about it. We wanted to clear up the- title"' "Who drew the contract for sale of the Culm property to the Laurel line?" Archbald Drew It. "Judge Archbald drew It." "Who has that contract now?" "I suppose Mr. Conn's attorney has it.' The chairman asked Williams why Captain May of the Erie had refused to give an option to him when he first approached him, if the Culm was on the market. Williams said he had no idea. "Why," asked the chairman, "was it necessary for you to get a letter from Judge Archbald before Captain May would give you the option?" "Well, I thought It would not hurt me to have a letter from the judge. Judge Archbald and Captain May were well acquainted." "You knew Judge Archbald was a federal judge at the time and han dled railroad litigation in his court did not you?" "Ye." "And you knew Mr. May was a rail road man and a corporation man?" Ygg sir." "Then vou thought these circum stances would have an infuence in getting the option of the Culm proper ty from the Erie?" "Yes, I tnougnt so, William repucu. "Isn't it a fact that May declined to consummate this deal after he learned that the department of justice was in vestigating the transaction?" "I don't know." "When did you first learn of the In vestigation?" ."When I was called to Washington last February." "Did you tell Archibald that you had been called to Washington by the at torney general in this matter?" "Yes." "Did you and Judge Archibald dis cuss why the deal had not been con summated?" "Yes, we talked about It." "Wasn't the deal halted on account of the investigation and didn't you and Judge talk about that?" "I don't remember what all was said, but I remember that the Judge said it would be better not to try and sell the Culm. He thought it would be well to let the Culm stand and it would be worth more some other time." Archbald Got Excited. "The decision not to sell It then was after you learned the department of justice was investigating the transac tion "Yes, we decided that about three weeks ago." After Captain May had refused to consummate the transaction' Williams said he told Judge Archbald about it. May previously had agreed to make out a deed to the property and de clined to carry out the agreement after the government began inquiries into the case. The chairman referred to previous" testimony relating to Judge Archnala S' visit xo uenerar uounsei and Vice President Brownll of the Erie railroad after Captain May's first refusal to give an option to the Culm property. The chairman read from a statement given oy wmiams to As sistant General Wrisley Brown before This I Never Before a notary several weeks ago. There Williams was quoted as saying: "When I went to Judge Archbald and told him May had refused to give the option Judge Archbald got very much excited and said: 'I'll go and see Brow nell. I'm well acquainted with him and I might hurt May for refusing to give such a small thing.' Asked if lie had made that statement, Williams said he had. "Did Judge Archbald say anything else?" the chairman asked. "Well, we talked about the lighterage case that was before the court." "Did the judge tell you about more than oce case?" "He talked about cases that were before him. He had two briefs on his desk. I picked up the briefs myself while we were talking and he told me one of .them wasthe lighterage case' PLAY TO A THOUSAND Majestic Stock Company Draws Well Auditorium.

SURE WAY TO CURE CONSTIPATION Many apparently simple things are difficult of perfection, and only those who have suffered long from constipation know how hard it is to f ind a genuine cure. But it can be had. No matter how discouraging your experiences have been in the past, prom ise yourself to make another attempt at a cure. This time try DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIX. There must be genuine merit to a rem edy that thousands endorse as a positive cure for constipation, and thou sands in all parts of the country are endorsing DR. CALDWEIiS SYRUP PEPSIX. .One gentleman, as old as 87 asserts he has had no relief until he took this remedy. Buy a bottle of it yourself and see what it will do for you. You know by this time that salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters whether manufactured or natural, will at best only do temporary good. So why not try a scientific preparation T)H, CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIX is scientifically compounded, ft is de signed to act mildly and gradually so tW in time all medicines can be dispensed with and nature will again do Its work. It is a tonic laxative and has a strengthening effect on the stomach and bowels. You will- feel better in every way for taking it, and you will get the permanent relief that you have so long sought. This is not ari Idle assertion, hut Is based on th experiences of thousands of people who in the quarter of a cen tury that this remedy has been compounded, have voluntarily written the facts to Dr. Caldwell. It is the best remedy obtainable for constipation and all stomach, liver and bowel troubles. Because of Its pleasant taste, mildness and freedom from griping it is also the laxative best suited to the needs of children. Dr. Caldwell: Your remedy does all you say for It li has helped me. My stomach is in a better condition than it has been for a year and I feel like a different person altogether I have taken one 80c bottle and am going to get another today. 1 have recommended your rem edy to a lady and she says It is help ing her right along and I know it is doing the same for me. Mattle Little, 1508 La Fayette St., Kansas City. Kan. Dr. Caldwell: I have taken the sample bottle you sent me, and my husband and I have taken a 50c bottle and we are going to get another. I think it will help -both of us. The- more we think ot Syrup Pepsin the more we think it la the very medicine for constipation or sick headache. It has a pleasant taste and is very esy to take. .1 praise Syrup Pepsin to my friends. A. R. A Carrie Nlchol, Ashland, Kan. Anyone wishing to make a trial of tills remedy before buyinjr It In the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (fam ily size) can have a sample bottle sent to' the home free of charge by ttimply addressing Dr. W. li. Caldwell, 405 Washington St., on ti cello, 111. Your name and address on a postal card will do. MR. HIRAM SANDERS. Dr. Caldwell: I used the sample bottle of Syrup Pep sin you sent me and have used three 69c bottles and can truthfully say that it has done me more -good than all the doctors in the country. I can lie down and sleep, and that is something I have not done for five years until I commenced using Syrup Pepsin. I. have quit bloating after eating and I feel like a new man. I have taken about $100.00 worth of other medi cine and it did me no good. I am thank ful that I tried Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin. Hiram Sanders, Haaelton, Kansas. Dr. Caldwell: I took the free sample of Dr. Cald well's Byrup Pepsin and have taken two. EOc bottles and am on the third, and when that Is -gone I expect to get more,, aa I think it Is a grand medicine. Mrs. Ben McElroy. 436 Indiana Ave., Holton, Kan. "New YdrkY May 10. Were fortunes expressed in terms of yearly income In the United States, as is the custom in Great Britain, then it would be estima ted that the fortune of John Jacob As tor,1 the greater part of which passes to his son in due time, is between II million and 4 million dollars. A con siderable' portion of the Astor estate is In unimproved real property, al though the disposition of the great grandsons of John Jacob Astor to in vest speculatively in unimproved real property, expecting to reap; great pro fits through appreciation, was far less than was the case with the original Astor or with his son. The rapid growth of New York city, and es -peclally its enlargement in 1897, '"has made it less easy to purchase, specu latively real property within the boun daries of New York than was the case at a time when considerably, more than one-half of Manhattan island was given to agriculture. Although the city tax assessors ap praised the value of the real property held by John Jacob Astor at 80 millions, "yet that was the value only for taxa tion purposes. Some of the Astor rea. properties' return net incomes at about 6 per cent, although it has been the understanding that John Jacob Astor was content if his properties yielded him a net income of from iVa to 5 .per cent. Upon the assumption that the city assessments for taxation purposes were some 20 millions below the mar ket value of the properties. It is rea sonable to presume that Mr. Astor re ceived a net income of about 4 million dollars a year from his estate. Both he and his cousin. William Waldorf Astor, have been persuaded for some 15 years to make large investment in improved properties, especially hotels and apartment houses. Their ventures into this form- of. investment have .proved remunerative. For some time it has been the; rumor in real estate circles that John Jacob Astor contem plated the building of the greatest and the. most beautiful architecturally of New York hotels somewhere in the vi cinity of Central Park. The Small Bequests. It did not escape observation when some of the details of the will of John Jacob Astor were made public that a number of his personal friends receiv ed legacies, one for 30 thousand, three for 2 thousand and "one for 10 thou sand dollars. All of these are men of wealth,. James Roosevelt, Mr. Astor' .3 brother? ii-Iav;j together with Douglas Robinson and Nicholas Biddle, are ap pointed executors and-also trustees of the federal trust created by the will. With these- friends Mr: Astor's son, William Vincent Astor, will be associ ated as soon as he becomes 21 years of aire. Presumably these bequests are to be regarded in lieu of executors' fees The New York state law would permit the eltecutors to charge a fee vastly in ex cess' of the sum bequeathed to these executors. It has been, however, the custom With rich men to make specific bequests to those named in their wills as executors or administrators, with the statement sometimes added that these requests "are in lieu of fees. Cor nelius Vanderbilt left legacies of 50 thousand dollars to Chauncey M. De pew and also to the late E. V. W. Ros siter; both Mr. Depew and Mr. Ros siter were in the. closest personal and business relations with Mr. Vanderbilt. It would have been within their legal rights had they refused the legacies and, having qualified as executors, ex acted legal fees. These would have amounted to several hundred thousand dollars. But to qualify as executors after having refused a legacy be queathed in lieu of executor's fees would be both to invite and to receive very severe criticism. t The executors named by Mr. Astor are also to serve as trustees of the var ious trust funds. In all probability they will call' to their assistance one or more of the larger trust Institutions of New York. Trustees are entitled to receive payment for their services commonly fixed or confirmed by the courts. Whether the trustees named by Mr.- Astor will do that or not re mains to be disclosed. Yet as the ad ministration of-' great trust funds en tails caution and considerable labor, it is to be presumed that for services us trustees some .reasonable recompense will be" fixed by. the courts.' One of the trustees of .the estate of William Astor was- chiefly occupied professionally with the administration of the trusts. One of the responsibilities which will much occupy the trustees; and especial ly the principal heir, William Vincent Astor, will be such administration as will keep the real properties Intact and, will from time to time add to them, either by purchase of improved land or by investing in large Improvements, like those made by both William Wal dorf Astor and John Jacob Astor,- in some of the conspicuous hotels of New York. i .The: Astor tradition. maintained faithfully since the original Astor es tablished the precedent, not only called for the preservation intact of real 'prop erties and the adding to them, but for another peculiarity of which the public has had little knowledge. The reason why John Jacob Astor the first invested in real property in New York was, it has always been presumed, because he forecasted with unerring judgment the growth of New York city. His vision of the future was taken at a time when Baltimore was perhaps the leading commercial city of the United States, "losely pressed by Philadelphia and Boston. Almost all the business men of the country in the early years of the -iaet cent urjf; punted upon the great -ommercial and financial development of Baltimore and regarded Boston and Philadelphia aa likely to command much of the commerce carried on with other countries It was- not until after the Erie canar was built that the fore cast of Mr. Astor. was found to-be more than Justified. Yet when he. "made his first investment in New York land th-2 Erie canal was not thought of. Aside from the first Astor'a iudgmeat respecting the appreciation of real property upon the Island of Manhattan, another reason why he was tempted to make this his chief vocation was be cause he knew that he'neec. have no partners or business associates. After corporations began to be established, controlled by boards of directors, Mr. Astor and his sons and grandsons after him were persuaded .that their- theory was correct. To buy real estate Involved only the personal judgment of one man. To Invest money in a corporation or to take some one into partnership com pelled some bending or yielding to the judgment of other men. And while it is true that the first Astor did make soma investments in vocations in which part nerships were necessary and became a large stockholder In the New York city banks, nevertheless he looked upon these investments as comparatively trivial incidents. This tradition has been well main tained by the- great-grandsons. They found it expedient to invest some of their incomes in railway securities, Dut they took little or no share in the di rection of the properties in which they had placed some of their money. Both William Waldorf and John Jacob Astor have, on the whole, faithfully main tained the Astor tradition, that in the purchase and administration xf real property one man may be supreme, not being compelled to yield to the advice or to submit to the friction or compro mise which is sometimes entailed by partnership agreements or by corpora tion management. The Astors, from the founder of the family- to the present generation,, could not have been per suaded to take, any prominent part jn real estate syndicates of which the number in New York is now so many that the legal title of these corporations is frequentlythe name and number of a street.

The finger print system for the identification and the protection of depositors is being rap idly adopted by New York banks. The North side bank is the latest institu tion to adopt the finger print system, regarding which Secretary Arthur Ekirsch said today: "It is notvthe Bertillon system used by the police but was devised by an Englishman named P. A. Flack, who for fifteen years was employed by the British government at Singapore, In dia. Instead of thumb we take the imprint of three fingers of the right hand the tips of the index, middle and third finger. "We provide blanks for our deposi tors upon which they write their sig natures and leave their finger prints. These we keep on file,, to have in case of emergency, as when, for instance, the genuineness of a signature may be questioned.. We have yet to come across a depositor who objects to this."

The value of punctuality on the part Of th railroad eraolovee, not only as an asset in his relation with the com Danv. but in the relation of the rail road with the public, is the subject of an appeal to employees by the man n PAmwnf nf tho Illinois Central rail road through the current issue of the employees' magazine.

The results, however, go on indefinitely, and can not be controverted or remedied ever. "Amongthe essentials to a well con ducted and economically operated rail road is punctuality. In the parlance iof the rail, it means 'on time.' The train schedules are so- arranged that If all movements were made in strict accordance therewith an ideal condi tion would obtain. There would be little occasion for train orders; less work for train and enginemen, the station and track forces. The public would obtain better service, and e less inconvenienced. There would naturally follow a diminution in ac cidents, and a saving in time wasted by the railroad employees and the pa trons. "It Is perhaps impossible to bring about such an ideal condition. The nearest approach, however, that can be obtained should be sought after. The reputation of the road and its business grows in the ratio punctual ity is attained, both in the movement of passenger trains and the delivery of freight. The stage coach and steamboat were accommodating. It was found that the working of the railroad would not permit of a deviation from sched ule without discommoding many oth ers, and the railroads were sustained in punctuality by the' public until it became a habit.

Strike bal lots have been sent to 300,000 mem bers of the Federation of Federation to determine whether the shop men employed on' 47 railroads west and south of Chicago shall strike in sym pathy with the men now -out on the Harriman lines, according to an nouncement made here by J. A. Franklin, one of the committee of 12 international presidents. The strike vote is being taken in accord with a resolution passed by the Federation of. Federations- to take such action in case federal interven tion in the troubles of the striking Harriman shopmen was not forthcom ing. At the time the federation was formed at a meeting of the railroad crafts in this tity several weeks ago a message was sent to President Taft asking him to intervene. Tne federation officials announced that unless an answer was received from the president a strike would be taken, not in sympathy with the strikers, but because they, would be lieve that all requests for mediation in future disputes between employees and the railroads would be treated in the same manner. So reply was received to the mes sage to Mr. Taft but President Frank lin said that this had nothing to do W,J the sending out of the ballots. The result of the vote is not ex pected to be known for three weeks or more. "I understand she married her husband ?r? bim."
