By seating the four delegates-at-large and the dele gates from the First district of Ken tucky all credited to President Taft.the Republican national committee to day added six votes to the temporary roil call of the convention in favor of the president and foreshadowed ac tion which would add ten more con tested seats from the state to Mr. Taft. Only two of the seats at large were contested and the committee was pre paring this afternoon to vote on the contests in the 2nd and 4th districts In" the First district the vote was 46 to 0 against the contestants. With these three districts and the delegates at large decided In the president s favor the number of contested seats determined for him since the com mittee began its deliberations reaches ninety-two. After arguments -re included in the First. Second and Fourth Ken tucky districts there remained to De considered contests in the SevenHi. Eighth. Tenth and Eleventhdistricts. Francis J. Heney of San Francisco leaped into the heat of the Pl'cal fray today and strenuously endeavor ed to inject pepper into the Row xj nhnrnrterized the con- dition in Kentucky chaotic political conditions in call fornia. and when he referred to some Kentuckv political acts as comparable to acts of Abe Rueff of San Francisco Mr. Heney drew a sharp protest from Senator Penrose.

Judge O'Rear declared he would ti, to show there was a "deliberate plan to carry Kentucky for the president against the wishes of the people ard that this plan was participated in by the party leaders and the Republican state committee. Federal officeholders t.aid Judge O'Rear. "were at the bot tom of the trouble." Most of it occurred, he said, in coun ties where federal officeholders were ..kot-moT, Thev sat In judg- ment. he said, upon the credentials and rights of all delegates. In Breathitt county he said the Republicans had proceeded under the regular call The county chairman would not call it together so each side put up a char man Judge O'Rear declared hundreds of Ohio and West Virginia men had come into Kentucky to take part n the Boyd county convention. He saia In other counties nonresidents had come in to participate in the convenon. Judge O' Rear s argument covered not only the state convention but the pri maries and conventions throughout the state He declared conditions through out Kentucky were such that few d's tricts selected their delegates in accord ance with popular opinion. In the state convetion, presided over by Senator W. C. Bradley, he declared the control by the Taft forces had boen procured by seating contested delega tions. Took Snap Judgment. "The total vote we claim was taken from Col. Roosevelt in the First dis trict was about 620," said Judge O'Rear. "In the Second district the Taft forces saw in advance they were outnumbered in the Daviess county convention anc hurried to the hall and elected 'Taft rlelRB-ates before any one else had a chance to come in." Judge O'Rear said he was opposed to "bolting." but that if they had bolt ed in the Kentucky districts it would have been of no avail, because the conventions were being conducted by the regular party organization. Judge O'Rear again stated that the Roosevelt delegates had no credentials to pre sent to the committee. "I don't think that matters." said Committeeman Kellogg of Minnesota. "We are not bound to seat any dele gates, if it is shown their seats were obtained by fraud." Judge O'Rear had not completed his argument when the allotted half hour expired. The committee extended his time and he ottered some affidavits that had not before been given the committee. No objection was made in the committee and those bearing on the alleged fraud in the primaries and county conventions were admitted. Former Senator Scott of "West Vir- Enta objected to Judge O'Rear's state ent that West Virginia voters had en imported into Bovd county to Ote for Taft. They Wore Taft Badges. "How do you know those alleged non-residents did not vote for the Roosevelt delegates," he added, turn ing to Judge O'Rear. "Most of them had Taft badges on," replied the Kentuckian. Judge O'Rear declared that if the committee did rot give fair consider ation to flie Kentucky case "our only chance will be to appeal to the na tional convention and its committee on credentials." (Continued on Pag-3 Two.) TAFT LEADERS ARE HAPP Over the Result of Contests Decided Up to Date. The Kentucky Cases, Including 18 Delegates, Come' Next. Chicago, June 11. William Barnes, jr., chairman, of the New York state committee andt delegate at large to the convention, arrived today and imme diately went into conference with Sen ator Crane of Massachusetts, Senator Sanders of Tennessee, Lafayette Glea son and other Taft leaders. Mr. Barnes is looked upon -as th probable Taft floor leader in the con vention. There is said to be llkeli hood, too, that he will take part In the deliberation of the national committee on the contested delegates. The New York leader declared his principal business at this time was to aid in the confirmation of Senator Root of New York as temporary chairman of the national convention. "Practically all the ninety New York delegates will vote for Root," said Mr. Barnes, "and I have no doubt he will be elected. Mr. Barnes took posses sion of a suite on the floor below the national Taft headquarters. Governor Hadley of Missouri ar rived today and at once went to the Roosevelt headquarters. He is to argue the Missouri contests before th national committee. Should the Roose velt forces control the convention, he is believed to be their choice for tern porary chairman and the position of noor leader for the Roosevelt men may be accorded him. In the hotel lobbies and the rival headquarters there was discussion o possible candidates for vice president and Senator Borah of Idaho was men tioned in that connection. Senator Borah, however, emphatically refused to oe considered. Borah Declines. Lnaer no conceivable circum stances or conditions would I accept the nomination for vice president,"' he said. "I have assumed that it would not be necessary for me to make this statement, but in view of the discus sion of the matter, I want to put an end to it once for all. And this ends it, for under no circumstances would i accept tne nomination if It were ten dered me." Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who found it not necessary to go to Washington as he had expected, said Iowans .were coming m on e very train eager to help the presidential boom of Senator Cum mins. The Cummins headquarters will be ready for the crowds who are ex pected there later in the day and the Hawkeye club is prepared to direct the enthusiasm of the Cummins men so that it will have the greatest effect. Roosevelt members of the commit tee declined to make any advance com ment upon the Kentucky cases, which were expected to arouse as much if not more debate than the Indiana case. Committeeman Pearl Wight was pre pared for the presentation of the Lou isiana cases, if they were reached to day. The Louisiana Contest. Practically all of the Louisiana del egates are contested. The Louisiana case presented a com plication similar to that of Florida three delegates appearing before the committee to contest for the seats. committeeman wight s support was with the "Suthon delegation" instruct ed for Roosevelt. The Kentucky Roose velt contestants for the places of dele gates at large were only two in num ber although the state Is entitled to four seats at large in the national convention. The Taft faction hd named a set of delegates but the nanes of E. C. O'Rear and Leslie Combs were all that appeared on the roll as Roose velt contestants. At 15 minutes after the hour for con vening, 10 o'clock, the committee room was not more than half full. Cal.3 were sent out through the adjoining rooms for the absent members and Chairman Rosewater decided not to wait longer. A telegram from Senator Bradley at Washington one of the coni -sted Taft delegates was read by Secretary Hay ward. Senator Bradley declared the Roosevelt contest should not be con sidered by the committee because the notice of contest and the Roosevelt credentials had not been filed within the allotted time. Secretary Hayward informed the committee the Bradley credentials had been filed May 2, and the O'Rear or Roosevelt notice of con test was filed May 29 the last permis sible day. The committee decided the contestants were entitled to a hearing. Judge O'Rear heading the contesting Roosevelt delegation began the argu ments. Taft People Are Happy. The Taft forces were in Jovial spirits today following their victorious fight in the committee yesterday which re sulted in seating of the contested dele gates in Indiana for the president. Only optimistic forecasts of the result of fu ture contests were heard among the Taft forces. The Roosevelt camp welcomed the coming of Governor Hadley. As one of the original seven governors who ursed the former president to make race and one whose name has been mentioned frequently as a possible running mate of Roosevelt his counsel was in de mand. Supporters of Roosevelt held a conference last night which lasted intc the early hours of this morning. But what was discussed none of the con ferees would tell. Senator Borah and other national committeemen who yes terday voted to seat Taft delegates in Indiana participated in the meeting. The time consumed in the presenta tion of the Indiana contests before the national committee yesterday made it a question this morning whether more than the Kentucky contests could b-" finished today. Unless the Kentucky and Louisiana cases can be cleared up (Continued on Paso Two.) 44 V. 'GATORS ON WAY Two Monster Animals From Florida Tomorrow. Gifts From O. E. Walker in Gage Park Lake. Two slit-faced alligators, eight feet long and weighing 200 pounds each will arrive in Topeka tomorrow morning. This evening workmen will complete their new Kansas home at Gage park. Sunday it will be up to the park lovers of Topeka to go to the Gage zoo and christen the new arrivals the city officials insist on only one name and that is "Walker. The other gator, a lady animal, can be called whatever the public de sires. The new attractions for Gage park have been purchased by O. E. Walk er of Topeka a man who has spent the last few years in working for To peka parks. Mr. Walker personally picked out the two alligators that are on their way to the Topeka zoo. He bought them at St. Augustine, Fla., at the South Beach Alligator Farm and Museum of Marine Curiosities. One of the Gage park alligators is a lady 'gator and the other a gentle man 'gator. mey are many years old Mr. Walker does not have their birth certificates. But they are eight feet long and weigh 200 pounds each therefore they are out of their teens. Mr. Walker gives his personal as surance that the new squirmers are not dangerous. "They have been 60 many years in captivity that they will not bite," he says. But the city placed an iron railing around a big cement pond and parking at the Gage zoo. No chances on observers losing their legs and arms will be taken by the commissioners. City Park Commissioner Stotts says his budget is too small the way 11 is he has no money to pay for alligator in juries. The new pona is jocatea in rne an gle of the greenhouse in Gage park. The cement tank is 20 feet long and feet wide. A sandy beach sur rounds it. The alligators will be fed sh; scraps and anything that specta tors wish to give them. They love Panamas and parasols. The alligators are not tne oniy new attractions scheduled for Gage park soon. Mr. Walker has sent to New York for 25 monkeys. The cage is being built. When it is completed the monkeys will be shipped at once. Then there Is another little surprise at Gaee park. Probably It isn't prop er to let out the news Mrs. Deer may ot like it. Most of the city nail men know it anyway, so here goes. This is the secret Bh-h-h only a whis ner. olease six little deer will open their eyes for the first time in Gage park soon already tnere are tour. They will make a totr.l of 26 deer in the reserve. Of course you have Heard an out tne buffalo born about one weeK ago one a male and one a female. Don't fail to visit Gage pane sun- day. A reception at the alligator lake to welcome the visitors from Flori da to our dear city. PLAN TRADE TRIP. Merchants Will Spend" Vacation Drumming Up Trade. Present indications are that the Commercial club will conduct a trade extension tour some time in the course of the summer. The promotion com mittee of the club under J. C. Witt, which met at the noon hour today is in favor of steam'' transportation as against automobile. Plans for the excursion will be worked out in the next week by a 1 xar wmmmmmik-. subcommittee composed of J. Gerst ley, Clyde Lawrence and S. C. Petltt. Next Tuesday noon a meeting of the entire committee will be held at which time the report of the special committee will be submitted and de finite action taken. It is the opinion of a good many of the local business men that a trade extension tour would kill two birds with one stone that is it would serve as a vacation for ffiem, and at the same time would tend towards bring ing them in more business, at least indirectly. If the plan is adopted the merchants -who take advantage of the trip, will take along much literature relating to their respective places of business and to the city of Topeka in general. HAVANA IS QUIET. American Force In Cuba Is Now Re garded as Sufficient. Washington, June 11. The absence of any fresh outbreaks in Havana has encouraged the state department in' the belief that the measures taken to show the purpose of this govern ment to maintain order in Cuba have been sufficient. It has been decided that there shall be no additions to the naval force now in Cuban waters unless unexpected developments make them necessary. Admiral Fisk, the ranking officer at Key West, will remain there for the present with the battleships New Jersey and Nebraska. By wireless the navy department will keep in constant touch with the first division of the Atlantic fleet after it leaves Hampton Roads with the midshipmen aboard, and it is expected that plans for exercises for that portion of the fleet which were interrupted by the threatening aspect of Cuban affairs soon will be resumed. The American marine force has oeen distributed as follows: Captain F. L. Bradman, with 100 men, on the Prairie, at Manzallio; Captain L. M. Gulick, two junior of ficers and 100 marines, at El Cobre; Captain E. B. Manwaring, two junior officers and 128 men, at EI Cuero; Lieutenant Colonel Lejune, district commander; Captain H. J. Boarse, Captain F. L. Lelano, two junior of ficers and 143 marines at Sinoby and vicinity. The expeditionary force in Guantanamo district is distributed as follows: Lieut. Col. L. C.

Bloody Pick Found. Under Paola Restaurant. Paola, Kan., June 11. The bloody pick used to murder Rollin Hudson and wife the night of June 5 wu found under a restaurant this morn ing by Charles S. Gibson, a retired and wealthy farmer, who owns the ground on which the restaurant build ing stands. The building stands about four feet above the ground, and the pick was about 12 feet from the side walk. There was no handle in the pick, the imprint of fingers showing where the murderer grasped the weapon around the center. The restaurant where the pick was found is a block west of the Joseph Longmeyer home where the kimonp was found the day following the dis covery or tne bodies of Hudson and wife. The Longmeyer home is three doors west of the Hudson cottage. GiDson was painting the restaurant building last Thursday and saw the pick under the building, but thought little of it. Saturday he went down and took a look at it. He didn't no tice the blood and put it back under the building. Sunday W. M. Gibson a Kansas City detective and brother of Charles, came down to Paola. Charles told him about the pick. The two made an examination and noticed the blood. They took it to the sheriff's office. It is a tamping pick such as is used on railroad con struction work and was stolen a block and a half from the Hudson home. The sheriff had ordered the weeds and grass about the Longmeyer home cut this morning in the hope that the weapon might be found. It was only a few minutes after the order was is sued that Gibson made his discovery. The order will be carried out in the hope that other discoveries may be made. The Akron, O., man sought, accord ing to those questioned, was tall, un gainly, wore a dark blue suit of clothes and a straw hat. This is the same man seen to go up to the porch where the Hudsons were sitting that fatal Wednesday night, talk a minute and go into the house with them. He Saw a Man Run. W. M. Dugan, an operator at the Frisco signal tower, saw a man run ning south on the railroad track at 12:30 a. m. last Thursday. Dugan saw him stumble over a switching rod near the tower and fall. The man wore a dark suit and straw hat. He was tall and ungainly. The last Dugan saw of the man he was still running south. A southbound passenger or freight train probably took him out of the city a few minutes later. When this man went to the Hudson home he spoke to the couple, accord ing to neighbors, and then said: "Come into the house, I want a word with both of you." That was the last seen of the mys terious stranger. It was the last seen of the Hudsons until their bodies were found in bed Thursday. On the table when the officers arrived after the crime letters, postcards, pictures and several relics were found. Apparently three persons gathered around that table the night before and went over these letters, some of them yellowed with age. What they were hunting, whether it was found, why the stranger should go over these treasures with the couple may never be known but. the police believe that therein lies the clue to the midnight murder. Weather Forecast. Chicago, June 11. Forecast for Kati sos: Unsettled tonight and Wednes day. Cooler tonight. j THOMAS ASKS FOB ACTION Wants Courts to Pass on Amount That Is Due. Changes in Books Charged by Special Accountants. The second report on the office of clerk of the district court, was made by the special accountants today to the county commissioners. This report la in full .up to and including the data of Richard L. Thomas' resignation and charges that $17,758.50 is now due the county. For the collection of this sum, the commissioners will Immediately file a civil action In the district court. In the audit up to and including Aug ust 31, 1911, it was claimed that Thorn as' obligations to the county amount ed to $21,692.71. From that date until March 31, this year, the fees amounted to $7,688.09, or a grand total of $20,- 380.80. From this amount is deducted salaries, clerk hire, postage, lapsed fees and $6,683.40, which Thomas paid to the county subsequent to the August re port. This leaves a balance due of $16,964.77, to which the commissioners ordered the accountants to add $794.73 as interest. (Continued on Page Two.) GIRL RAVES IN CELL. Alta Howard Insane as Result of Wit nessing George Murder. Denver, Col., June 11. Oscar Georg j. who killed his brother, sits quietly In his cell at the county Jail here, refas ing to discuss the killing or even ad mlt there was one. He replies to all questions with the statement that he has nothing to say. Oscar George, Who Killed His Brother. Meanwhile Alta Howard, in the fight over whom the slaying occurred, raves wildly in her cell near the office of the matron. Nothing takes her mind off the awful deed she witnessed. The police say that when they tried to question the slayer he declared "it was done in the heat of the fight." SPRING A SURPRISE. Harrow's Attorneys Decline to Cross Examine Oooney. Los Angeles, June 11. The defense in the trial of Clarence S. Darrow for alleged Jury bribery sprang a surprise when court sat today by declining to cross examine Patrick J. Cooney, the McNamara defense "investigator." Cooney's place on the witness stand was taken by Keene Fitzpatrick,' an other former employee of the McNa mara defense. Fitzpatrick testified to having ac companied Bert H. Franklin on one of the latter's visits to the home of Geo. N. Lockwood, the prospective iuror for the alleged bribery of whom the Chicago attorney is on trial. The wit ness told of an automobile trip on November 26, 1911, in company with Cooney when. they went to surrounding towns, he said, to warn certain pros pective Jurors so that they could avoid service. The direct examination of Fitzpat rick waa concluded within ten minutes and Chief Counsel Rogers of the de fense took the witness for cross ex amination. Only a few questions con cerning Fitzpatrick's relations with Franklin were asked by Rogers before the witness was excused. TODAY IN CONGRESS. Impeachment Resolution Prepared Against Judge Hanford.

IT IS LIKE ELLSWORTH CASE Coal Oil Lamp Left Burning in House of Death. Mother of Dead Girls in Seri ous Condition. VlUisco, la., June 11. No positive clew seems to have been brought to light as a result of the work of detec tives in Sunday night's murder case wherein Joseph Moore and family and two visitors met death. The theory upon which the authori ties are working now involves two men, relatives of the murdered family, both of whom are said to have held deop grudges against Moore and his wife as a result of domestic trouble. One of these men, it is said, is known to have been in Villisca recently and it Is ru mored that the other also has been here. The bloodhounds which followed a trail from the Moore home to the river yesterday, losing it soon afterward, again were used today. A detective working on this case also helped fh the Investigation of a mys terious wholesale murder at Ellsworth, Kan. He notes several points of similarity in the two cases. One of these is the use of a kerosene lamp. In each case one was found burning In the room where the crime was com mitted. Bloody finger prints of the Ellsworth murderer have been preserv ed and will be compared by experts with those of Villisca assassin. It was planned to hold the funeral of the eight victims of the trageoy this afternoon. Mrs. Stillihger, mother of the two murdered girls, is still in a serious con dition from shock. Clerk geeks Cause of Delay. The first intimation of the crime was secured when a clerk in the implement house of Mr. Moore went to the Moore home to ascertain the cause of Mr. Moore's delay in reaching business. The dead people, with on exception. were found in- their beds in natural at titudes of sleeping." Mr. and Mrs. Moore were in one bed. the clothing of which was not the least disturbed. In. another bed were two of the boys, the sister occupied the third bed and the youngest boy was alone in a smaller bed. In neith er instance was the bedding of the children disarranged. The Misses Stillinger occupied a room in another part of the house. On of the girls had a cut on an arm and was in such a position as to indicate she had awakened before the attack and that there was a short struggle. The tragedy is one of the most mys terious the officials of Iowa have ever had to deal with. There is absolutely no clue upon which to warrant an ar rest, and the utter absence of a pos sible motive has left the authorities in a maze of perplexity and doubt. Blood stains, which will require the work of experts to handle in relation with the crime, including fingerprints of the murderer are absolutely the only clue the officers have to work upon. Blood stains were on the front door near the knob and fingerprints were found in the house. Oil Lamp Is Found. A feature of the tragedy which Indi cates that possibly the murderer left the house quickly, was the finding of a lighted lamp upon the floor of the Moore bedroom. All the blinds of the house were closely drawn, the doors were all locked and all the windows locked but two opening from the room which the Stillinger girls occupied. Feeling is. high and few persons slpt in Villisca Monday night. News of the crime traveled fast and hundreds of country people soon came to the vil lage. One puzzling feature of the crime which serves to heighten the mystery surrounding it is the apparent deliber ation which the murderer displayed In committing the crime. Bloodhounds arrived here on a late evening train and were Immediately taken to the Moore home. Within ten minutes they found a scent which took them over a circuitous route to the edge of the town and thence to the banks of the Nodaway river. They were followed closely by their keepers. Entering a deep woods along the river, the hounds led their followers over several miles o." rough timber land in the, Nodaway bottoms. Because a company of militia have kept the crowds from going within several hundred feet of the Moore home, it v.-as hoped the hounds might bu able to accomplish much, as the ground had not been troddei over by the people. Bloody Handkerchief Fonnd. The only thing found by the blood hounds this morning was a bloody handkerchief. While interesting the officers do not regard the find as valu able in the work of unraveling the mystery. The county attorney has sent for Warden McClaughry of the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, who is a fingerprint expert. He is expected today. Word comes from Newmarket, about 15 miles southeast of here, that two strange men who were there when the news of the tragedy reached that place, left hurriedly in the direction of Claringa. Orders for their arrest have been sent to the latter place but nothing further has been heard. Expert After Ilngerprints. Leavenworth. Kan., June 11. Wil liam McClaughry, Bertillon expert at tht federal prison, left here late last evening for Villisca. Ia., where he was called to examine bloody finger prints left on window glass that are supposed to have been made by the assassin who s!ew Joseph Moore and his entire fam ily. The prints are said to be in excel lent condition

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL JUNE 11, 1912 BIG ONES GOME. (Continued from Page One:)- It is probable the committee will be forced into night sessions to dispjse of the many contests before the con vention meets a week from today.

Second, Fourth, Seventh Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh were con cerned in the contests which, were tc be heard during the day's session. The Taft delegation at large was headed by Senator' W. O. Bradley.

Vorys or Ohio tells this story of "Dave Mulvane of Kansas: "Just before I left home a friead wanted to know about all these steam roller charges. I told him they were all bunk, and that the members of the committee decided all cases absolutely on their judgment and upon their con science. 'Well, I guess perhaps you do,' he said, 'but isn't Dave Mulvane on that committee? I said that he was. WeH." he answered, 'I have known Dave 20 years, and I suppose he has a conscience like other men but he has it under excellent con trol.' City Officials After Roller. And now It is the city of Chicago that is after the steam roller, as if Colonel Roosevelt had not tried hard enough to sift sand in its gear boxes. But the city seems really eager to see that it is kept in good condition, and that there will be no "blow up" for Colonel Harry S.

Bound to Vote for T. R. Mobile. Ala., June 11. "I'm going to vote for Roosevelt if they chop my Vionrt riff." declared Postmaster Byron Trammel of Dothan, a member of the Alabama Republican delegation. He is one of the two delegates to the Chicago convention from this state who say tho-ir will rnti for Roosevelt. The oth er is Postmaster J. B. Daugherty of Geneva, both being from the Third district. Trammel says that Roosevelt announced he would be a candidate after the delegates from the Third were elected and that his entrance into the race changed the entire ponucai complexion. Under such circum stances, he says, he has a right to sup port the colonel if he chooses to da so, notwltnstanaing ne Taft delegate. THE COLONEli IS BITTER. He Continues to Cry JYaiHl Regarding Committee Action. New York. June 11. Theodore Roose velt discussed present conditions at rhiram in an article entitled "A Naked Issue of Right and Wrong.' made public and to appear in the cur rent issue of the Outlook. Mr. Roose velt sava in nart: "The contest for the Republican nomination has now narrowed down to a naked issue of right and wrong: for the issue Is simply whether or not we shall permit a system or naaea iraua, of naked theft from the people, to triumph. ProDerlv speaking. tne naxionai committee's only function is honestly to judge what delegates have prima facie the right to a seat and to suggest thf, name of a temporary chairman, who shall call the convention to order. Practically-the attempt Is being made by the Taft managers to use the pres ent national committee for the purpose of unseating honestly elected delegates and .of seating enough fraudulently elected delegates, especially from the states where there is no real Republi can party, to secure the nomination for Mr. Taft. I fail myself to see how an honest man can profit by or take part in such a piece of trickery as this Ohio state convention 'victory,' he says. "In the same way, I fail to see how an honest man can profit by or connive at or approve of the farcial New Tork county primaries. But the case was worse in Washington, in Indiana, In Michigan. In many of these cases the Taft delegates represent absolutely nothing but fraud as vulgar, as brazen and as cynically open as any ever committed by the Tweed regime in New Tork 40 odd years ago. "Mr. Taft cannot be i-ominated un less he gets the overwhelming majority of the rotten borough states which never cast a Republican electoral vote and in which the delegations represent only the officeholders. Even if he gets practically all the delegates from these states, he cannot be nominated unless by deliberate fraud, in such states as Indiana, Michigan and Washington, not to mention others, the -Republicans are defrauded of their right to express their preference as to who Is to get their votes. Under such circumstances his nomination would represent the overriding of the expressed will of the people by Messrs. Barnes.; Penrose, Guggenheim. Powell Clayton and the rest. "But I wish to call attention to the fact that it is Messrs. Barnes, Mc Kinley and their associates, on behalf of Mr. Taft. who are engaged In the effort to perpetrate the gravest wrong upon the Republican party and upon the people of the United States, and that in such action they stand, not as the representatives of the Republican party, but as individuals misrepresent ing that party, with no claim to loyalty frcm it and whom it is the bounden duty of that party to repudiate. I wish also to call the attention of the honest men who have hitherto support ed Mr. Taft that the issue is now one of naked right and wrong, and that they cannot support or acquiesce In the action of those who under the circum stances given above, are asking to nominate Mr. Taft without being false to the principles of good citizenship." Doesn't Know the Particulars. Oyster Bay. N. T., June 11. "I told Senator Dixon and the other Roose velt leaders in Chicago that I did not wish them to support any of the con lestea ttoosevelt delegates except wrere it was such a clear case that they would support them If they were iart delegates.' Colonel Roosevelt stated his position in regard to the contests before the Re publican national committee in these words. On the action of the committee in seating the four Taft delegates at large from Indiana, he would not say a word except that he did not know the particulars of the case. The contest cemmittee over the California delega tion. Colonel Roosevelt said would hardly be decided against him as he believed the position of the Roosevelt delegates was plainly in the right since ne naa carried the state by about 60.000 majority. The national committee, he said, might, of course, rule against the delegates on a technicality. "But they can't get away with the swag," he added. Colonel Roosevelt said that in his opinion the convention would not be bound by the action of the national committeemen "whose terms expire next Tuesday." OOMIXG HOME TO ROOST. Some of the Colonel's Chickens Are Returning to the Perch. Chicago. June 11. Congressman William B. McKinlev. manaerer of the Taft bureau, issued the following state ment: "By the unanimous vote of the Re publican national committee, including the votes of such well known support- erg of Theodore Roosevelt as Senator W. E. Borah of Idaho, Frank B. Kel logg of Minnesota, George A. Knight of California. Colonel Cecil Lvon of Texas, William L. Ward of New Tork, Pearl Wight of Louisiana and others. the Taft delegates at large from, In- diana were ordered seated in the ing Republican national convention over the Roosevelt delegates at large who contested their right to their seats. "Following the action of the Indi ana Republican state convention in se lecting the Taft delegates which were seated by the unanimous vote o the Republican national committee, Theo dore Roosevelt, in a speech at tne Auditorium in Chicago, March said: 'As I have said, such a primary contest (New Tork) is not merely a farce, but a criminal farce. What was done In New Tork is substantially what was done in Indiana.' "On May 5, in a written statement issued -at Oyster Bay in reply to President Taft's speech in Baltimore, Theodore Roosevelt further said: 'In Kentucky, Indiana and in New Tork citv and elsewhere. Mr. Taft knows well that the delegates elected for him renresent bare-faced frauds. He stands guilty of connivance and condonation of these frauds. "'In all -these -m-imaries-and con ventions I have stood for absolute honesty and fair play. Mr. Taft has stood for crooked misrepresentation of th whnle neonle.' "This is a most appropriate illus tration of the unbridled manner in which Mr. Roosevelt, throughout this entire campaign has assailed the Re nnhUfnTi nurtv its nrinciDles. its pres- iHnt on Us leaders everywhere. If Mr. Roosevelt does not have his way ho rionnnnces everybody ana every thing in sight, .regardless of the merit of his couse and in -defiance of all square dealing. In this particular case his decision as to the Indiana contests has been repudiated by the unanimous vote of the Republican national com mittee. The Rbpolute bad iaitn oi mr, Roosevelt in .bringing contests such as these before the Republican national committee is again emphasized by unanimous decision against him. STUBBS CRIES "THIEF." Governor Charees National Commit tee With Highway KODDery. ChWe-n. Til.. June 11. Governor stiihhs. of Kansas has issued the fol lowing signed statement regarding the threat of the Taft men on the national committee to steal the delegations from Missouri, Washington, Texas, Indiana and Michigan: It is an absolutely unpossioie nrnnnsitlnn to nominate President Taft without stealing In broad day light, before the eyes of ninety minion American people, the delegates from Missouri, Washington, Texas, Indiana nnrt Michigan. Roosevelt nas no Heiecates in Texas that have as clear a title in this convention as any ueie gates that will sit in the convention hall. In Washington they had an overwhelming majority for Roosevelt in the nrimaries and an absolute ngnt and honest title to their seats in the convention and so In Missouri, Indiana and Michigan. If they could steal this whole bunch of states in the dark and rush it through the conven tion in one night, they might possibly succeed in stealing the nomination. Rut to steal it state by state, ana aay after day, for several days, in broad daylight, committing daily a crime that is blacker and more disgraceful than stealing horses and cattle, or any form of property, is simply impos sible. No human mind can conceive or 540 honest men from all over tnis nation approving such a theft in the national convention. If a majority of the national committee are desperate enough to perpetrate this sort of a crime, there is no possibility of the convention ever ratifying any such ac tion and sharing the ignominy and dis grace that will attach to the men who do that thing and. to their families. The stealing of a delegation In a ward or a county or in a municipal elec tion is a crime and a disgrace, and it absolutely fades into insignifi cance in comparison with an attempt to steal the nomination of a presi dent of the United States. Colonel Roosevelt didn't put it any too strong when he stated in regard to the Ninth Alabama district that this committee committed a greater wrong than those for which hundreds of men are now in the penitentiary. Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated by the convention on the first ballot. No set of dele gates will stand for such robbery as the national committee is perpetrat ing. He really has a majority of the delegates and they will repudiate the robbers In the party." FOR ROOT AND TAFT Almost the Entire New York Delcga Tion Claimed for Them. Chicago, June 11. Lafayette B. Glea son of Delhi, W." T., secretary Of the New Tork Republican central commit tee and selected for temporary secre tary of the convention by the subcom mittee on arrangements declared hers that he was confident that 85 of the 90 delegates to the convention would vote for Senator Elihu Root for temporary chairman. "I have received telegrams from 85 of the New Tork delegates" said Glea son, "and they will support Senator Root. I am Just as confident that from 81 to 85 of the delegates will vote for President Taft." PICK TEN RUNNERS. Tewaninn, Indian Speed Fiend, Among Olympla Men. New Tork, June 11.

The com- com-imi"ee reporting the orders of conductors, trainmen and brother hood of firemen and enginemen on the Pennsylvania railroad east of Pittsburg and Erie in the dispute over certain working arrangements today sent out a call for a referen dum vote on the question-of giving the committee the power to call a strike. About 25,000 men are said to be involved. SUIT NEXT STEP. Continued from Page Ore.) When, seen today Thomas stated that he was anxious to have the claims ad justed in court and welcomed any pro ceedings 'that would at once settle the question of his indebtedness. "In case the county does not bring suit, said Thomas, "I propose to bring an action myself loooking to a f.nal settlement of the controversy." "Just as soon as the county attorney can prepare a petition," said Frank B. Simms, chairman of the county board, "we will bring suit against Thomas de manding the payment of the entire amount." The report in part is as follows: "We have Included all costs collect ed by the clerk belonging to other persons, held subject to their reque-f, but not called for or disbursed within one year after the collection excluding the sum of 31,909.43. which Mr. Thomas paid to the county treasurer on his retirement as representing the amount or such lapsed costs as ascertained by him. All fines and Jurors' fees payable to the county at March 31, 1912, hive also been included. As formerly ir. structed by you, we have added sum of $794.73 representing, interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum o.: the quarterly balances from August 31, 1911, to March 31, 1912, due the county. The liabilities of the clerk of the district court as at March 31. 1912, in addition to the above sum due the county, were $11,278.81. These lia bilities represent costs collected and belonging to other persons, held sub ject to their request which has not been in his possession over one year and also for deposits reserved to meet his costs and for judgments collected. The funds in the hands of the clerk as at March 31, 1912, available to meet the liabilities stated in the foregoing paragraphs, aggregated $24,896.46, showing a deficiency of $4,141.85. These sums have since been reduced by the sum of $11,436.60 paid to Mr. Thomas' successor In office to meet the liabilities referred to in conclusion No. This payment, however, has conse quently reduced the liabilities by that amount and does not affect the deficiency. Charge Books Were Altered. "During the period under review, a new system of bookkeeping was in stalled and improved methods em ployed, greatly facilitated the audit. Our examination, however, disclosed the fact that many alterations had been made on the cash journals used as the basis of our examination for the period from January 14, 1907, to Au gust 31, 1911, after the completior of our work. "The numbers of the pases have been changed in mt:y instances and alterations ir. accounts are evident. In several instances, evidence is afforded bv Mr. Thomas' pencil notes that en tries on the Journals purporting to be payments of liabilities, were not actual Davments. In such cases, as Mr. Thomas had been credited with pay ments not actually made, we charged the me to his accourt In order to rectify these entries." Following the conclusions of the ac countants are several pages of exhibits showing the cases ana recounts under review. ARE WON RY TAFT. fContlmfed from Page One.) Frank B. Kellogg asked if there had been a primary in Jefferson countv in which Louisville is situated. The Taft delegates said there had been a primary-and that the Roose velt delegates and Taft delegates elected had agreed to divide the coun ty vote in the state convention. Charges against federal office holders said Mr. Cochran, on the ground they had been unfair had no foundation. Borah made a motion to admit as part of the evidence the O'Rear affidavits. previously offered. The committee was unanimous in accepting them. Regarding McCracken county Mr. Morrow asserted Judge O'Rear had not stated to the committee the Roosevelt delegation was seated. "The state convention considered tests for 449 seats, but the Roosevelt men now claim seven other counties should have been given them," said Morrow. Mr. Morrow read a telegram from George Winslow, chairman of the Carroll county convention stating it had been overwhelmingly for Taft and that contests or charges to the contrary were "malicious." Voted on Their Own Cases. Judge O'Rear declared contested del egations had been allowed to vote on their own cases in tne state conven tion in accepting the credentials com mittee report. Mr. Cochran presented a written agreement dividing equally the 272 votes of Jefferson county, which had been signed by the Taft and Roosevelt leaders. Committeeman McCoy of the Phil ippines moved to seat the Bradley or Taft delegates. Senator Borah said he would like to read the affidavits pre sented before votijng. "I believe these contesting delegations are not entitled to seats in the convention," he said. Francis J. Heney. of California, who was in the committee on the proxy of Thorson, of South Dakota broke Into protest against voting before they had been given time to examine the affi davits. Senator Crane proposed as a substitute for the delay asked by Borah that all of the affidavits be read to the committee. Borah insisted that a vote be put off until tomorrow. Chairman Rosewater said no delay could be granted unless the committee suspended its own rules. Cecil Lyon of Texas, said he wanted time to ex amine the evidence. The motion to seat the delegates was renewed. On a roll call, demanded by the Taft forces, the Taft delegates were seated, 38 to 11. Frank O. Lowden, Illinois: Cecil Lyon. Texas, and O. R. Burnam, Kentucky, declined to vote, the first two because they wanted to examine the affidavits. The negative votes were: Knierht. California: Dupont, Delaware; Borah, Idaho; Wight, Louisiana; Kellogg, Minnesota; Flanigan, Nevada; Ward, iew iorK; Thorsen, south Dakota; Monday, Tennessee: Loose, Utah, and Bieber, District of Columbia. The First Kentucky district case was then called. McHard and Judge O'Rear said their cases rested on their former ar guments and on affidavits that had been presented but not read. The committee asked O'Rear to give the substance of the affidavits. In Calloway county, he Bald, the con vention was set for 1 o'clock, but was called at 12:30 by Mr. Downs, a post master, and when the Roosevelt peo ple got there the conventio nwas over.

Senator Borah asked if the Roose velt people would have had a major ity of the Calloway county convention "if they had reached therein time." Judge O'Rear said he had no evidence on that. Other committee members asked whether the Roosevelt dele gates would have controlled the county convention if they had been there when it organised. Judge O'Rear said he had been unable to find out. "If you insist on pinning me down," added Judge O'Rear, "1 11 admit that we have a mighty slim case here, but slim cases are some times won." Judge O'Rear declared the credentials' committee had let the convention set tle the McCracken contest. Referring to alleged control by federal officehold ers, F. B. Brown declared a postmaster at the head of the Taft delegation from McCracken county had been turned down by the convention and Roosevelt delegates seated. The Taft delegates from the district were seated by the unanimous vote of the committee. A roll call on Senator Sanders' motion t-i seat them resulted 46 to nothing, Roose velt men supporting the motion. "Now It's Whites" You want them and we are ready to supply your wants.

Great Bend., Kan., June 11. Ear' Moore's rebuilt ball team took anoth er slap at our pallid heroes yesterday, beating them 3 to 0. Incidentally it was the first time in two seasons that the Millers had been shut out so that haag has some record behind him. In spite of the number of hits made off Stofler they were of no importance except in one inning and then Deil with twe etrikes on him got a hit Just inside the foul line which scored both men Stoffer was in several tight places and his fielding and that of his teiim mates was good with the exception of that inning. Dulin starred 4n fielding and batting, taking everything thot came towards third or short. Moore crabbed about as much in this game as Wilson of Lyons is in the habit of doing in every game The game was a fast one and the spec tators got a chance to see some spec tacular fielding.

Sioux City at Topeka. Des Moines at Denver. St. Joseph at Wichita, The Witches have grabbed two in a row from the Joseys. Not wishing Holland any bad luck, but a slump on the part of the Drummers now would make the race more interest ing. And it is only natural to expect some sort of popoff. The Drummers have been running away with it so far. Meanwhile we are curious to see what happens when Holland throws Johnson into the ring. Perhaps the two games postponed will be won by the Kaws later in the year. The shortfieid was "a sea of mud Monday A ball" iwhich struck the ground in that territory sprinkled mud ten feet in the air. The manage ment spent $500 draining the field before the season opened to provide for just such occasions as Monday, but when a slow, gentle rain drips on the ground for 24 hours it is bound to make it soft, all efforts to the con trary notwithstanding. Brown, one of Sioux City's pitchers, is a former Topekan. He is going nicely. Anyhow, we didn't lose a 15-inning game Monday. It's all right to save the crops, but the weather man needn't forget the ball team. It needs saving too. Let's have a little weather fit for playing.

Two more towns have been added to the circuit of the new United States baseball League. But what this league needs more is several nines of excel lent ball players. Doc C'cok surely overlooked a bet. Central Arabia which has been as un known to the white mapmakers as the polar regions, has just been traversed by a Danish explorer. Small boy enthusiasts for an insane Fourth of July probaby read, with feel ings of envy, about the explosion of 400,000 pounds of powder in Austria Hungary the other day. Those who think the bad feeling be tween the Taft and Roosevelt leaders at Chlcvso may result In clashes of the physical sort 'appear to have forgotten the fa:t that barking dogs seldom bite. All of the records of; the wild and woolly ntst for card games assuredly have been broken by the one in a Vir ginia mining town that resulted in a fight in which twenty-five men were killed. That Oregon quarryman who loaded a big blast with a lighted cigarette in his mouth was not only a "powder monkey" by profession but also in his actions. Congress is likely to consider seri ously th matter of an adjournment in the near future," regardless of any of the nation's business that might stand in the W)y. The thermometer in Wash ington rrcently registered 98. United States Senator Fall of .New Mexico seems to have a faculty of landing on both feet regardless of his name. He hat; just obtained a re election to the chamber of much trou. ble for a full term of r.ix years. Another calamity has resulted, inct dent to the Italian oper.-.tions in Trl poli. One of the war correspondents there died recently. And by no stretch of the imagination can his death be charged to over work. Nor Is the action of prominent na tional bankers in refusing to answer questions put to them ty congressional committee investigating the "monev trust" such as to inspire confidence in their operations on the part of the gen eral public. Although there will be general ap proval of his criticism, it may be bare ly possible that the Los Angeles clergy man who scored the eastern society women for giving t. swell chicken din ner to their pet dogs was just a trifle jealous. If clergymen have one fail lag, it is a fondness for chicken. Boston seems to have made a grave mistake Jn asking Dr. Wiley to be its health officer. K he should accept, he would undoubtedly issue orders forth with for a general cleansing of the bean-pofr. Then the historic flavor, that has made the baked beans of The Hub famous the world over, would be a thing cf the past. Kaiser Wilhelm has joined the back to the ftrm movement. Or perhaps It would be nearer right to say that he has purcnased a big farm in German South Africa -where some, of hie hired help will try their luck at raising sheep. If navies and armies could be grown on South African soil, the kaiser might be expected to take per sonal charge of his farm. Fond, but none the less cruel parents in New Jersey, have named their sev enth daughter in compliment to the Roosevelt family by combining the col onel's initials with the name of his eldest daughter. The result is Tralice. Children have to stand for a good deal from their parents, especially in re spect to the names that are forced- on them. BUSINESS IS IMPROVING. "Financial conditions are positively changing for the better," writes Henry Clews, the New York banker and bro ker, in his current weekly financial re view. "A more confident undertone prevails both here and at the interior. This new1 wave of cheerfulness blows In fiom the West where unrest for a long time has been deep seated. The basis for this change in tone is three-fold. First, our industrial and financial leaders seem to have decided by common con sent to cut loose from politics. It is felt that agitation has brought the worst to the surface, and that an es timate can be placed upon the worst that is likely to happen. It is felt also that the high tide of radicalism has been reached and that henceforth more rational and normal Judgment is likely to prevail. "A second and more practical reason for" business betterment is continued improvement in the crop outlook. Grain has progressed very satisfactorily for the last' three or four weeks. A big ray crop is practically' certain, and the fruit crop in many sections Is also ex ceedingly promising. At "present it looks as if the agricultural classes were going to have another year of excep- j tional prosperity. If this proves- true, it means a good business next fall and winter throughout the interior, and a consequent Increase of industrial ac tivity; especially after the hand-to-mouth policy which has been pursued for some months. Continued activity in the steel trade is also having a wide spread effect. Railroads have been hea vy buyers of many steel products, and It is now an old story that this industry has been running at nearly full capacity for the past two or three nonths.' Prices are steadily hardening, and though there Is a temporary lull in new orders, it Is confidently expect ed" that further large amounts of new business will be soon forthcoming. The requirements for steel are urgent and a large proportion of the new capital being raised by presont and prospect ive new security issues Is sure to find its way into the steel industry; and this means much to general business in the iron regions. The' steel outlook is certainly brighter than has been the case for several years. "The third important element in the situation is the better labor ovt:ook. In some cases wages have been ad vanced where such advances appeared justified. In other instances demands of labor have been withdrawn or modi fied where it has been found that such requests were ill-advised and injurious. In other cases trouble has been averted by compromise. Here and there a few occasional strikes may be expected, but there has been a decided modera tion in the feverish unrest of- labor, which promises to aid business re covery. As a result both labor and capital will certainly find more ready employment." Aliti HAIL! THE PIE. At last it has come. Some of us have been-buoyed up all along by the hope that pie would one day be vindica ted and take its rightful place-among the institutions of the country the hon oring of which is fully justified in the eyes of the world. And now that faith has amply been justified. America has from the first been the great pie-eating nation. But it has not been proud of the fact. While it has taken its wedges of mince, apple, pumpkin and rhubarb at the railroad lunch counter, the serve-self restau rant and other public places it has borne a look of guilt as well as of de fiance. It has meekly submitted to in numerable jests and jeers aimed at pis. It has recognized the fact that one of the most opprobrious epithets one man could hurl at another was "pie-fai.e." Yet it has kept right on eating pie, even though In a shame-faced, manner. But from now on America can hold up its head, also the pie. For that emi nent authority, the New York Medical Journal, has come out for pie. Not any particular pie, but all pies barring per haps the English pork pie, which rejlly isn't pie at all. The Journal says it is healthful and nutritious and that the only reason contumely has been visit ed upon it is that usually it is. eaten after the stomach has been filled with other food. So, fetch on the pie. It is not barred either from breakfast, luncheon or din ner, or even before bedtime. Straw berry pie is now in season. Go to it, looking all the world squarely and proudly in the face. And soon we shall have peach pie, warm and mantled over with thick, yellow cream. LABOR WARS AGAINST WAR. Here Babel, the leader of the radical wing of the German Socialists accord ing to The Survey, is reported to have said when the Socialist landslide In the German Reichstag was announced: "The peace of Europe is now as sured." In a recent sermon at the Church of the Messiah, New York, John Haynes Holmes interpreted the social signifi cance of the European working-class war against war. He said: I believe that war between the na tions of the world is every day becom ing more and more improbable for one reason if for no other. I refer to the great awakening upon this question which has come to the working classes of the world. It means something, does It not, when in the war between Russia -and Japan. Rus sian peasants had to be driven the resruiting stations at the point of the bayonet? It means something, does it not, when the attempt of the King of Spain to send his armies into Africa was met by the revolt of his subjects in Barcelona? And what shall we say of the great pectacle- which was witnessed in Ber lin, at the time when war was immi nent with France, when two hundred thousand Socialists gathered peaceably In the public squares, denounced the belligerent attitude of the government. and solemnly swore that they would never take up arms against their brothers 'In the republic of France? "Such events as these mean simply that the common people are realizing tbat there is no reason why they should be made 'food for powder," in order to satisfy the jealousies of kings and ad vance the commercial interests of trusts and corporations. They mean that the multitudes see at last that they have no quarrel with their fellow laborers across the border lines of na tions. The time is coming, if it is not already here, when some nation will some day declare a war against its neighbor, and discover to its amaze ment and disgust, that It has no sol diers to fill its regiments." JOURNAL ENTRIES A man filled with contentment sel dom achieves any large successes. Everybody Is usually solely to blame for such real troubles as he has. Another captain of finance is the salaried worker who lives within his Income. Agree with a man's opinions and he'll tell his acquaintances you are a mighty smart chap. Leading a dog's life, as a matter of fact, is a rather easy and comrortaDie sort of an existence. J A YHA WKER JOTS Tf v.il do not believe that everybody lives in a glass house, says the Abilene Reflecto'' just tnrown a stone. It's r e opinion of the Kanapolis Journal -hat all men hate to pay poll tax wore than women hate to wasn dishes. Don't expect too much of a boy or pup, urges Tom Thompson in his How ard Coi rant.

Bert Walker of the Osborne Farmer is on the hunt for the old fashioned boy who always referred to his pocket knife as kis "toad stabber. So marry men in this world are fail ures, thinks the Concordia Kansan, because ihey are like a gasoline en gine somebody else has to crank 'em up. A conclusion has been reached by the Yat-s Center News that "the surest bait to get a young man to church is done up in a nice attractive bunch of dress gr.oas. Advlco from the Jewell County Mon itor for certain lovelorn lads: If a eirl doosn't give you a chance to pro pose t3 her, make up your mind that it won t do any good to. Maybe Mack Crotcher has finally struck the right track. We have a no tion, he writes, to try cultivating our dandelions and see if that won't kill them. V7e have tried about everything else. Maybe they could be killed with kindness Attel-tlon is called by the Newton Kansan-Republican to the fact that re cently v, hlle the thermometer register ed about 86, the Sedgwick Pantagraph published a city ordinance providing punishment for the resident of that town who fails to shovel the snow off his walks. Thrown on the screen by the Linds- borg News Vitascope: Many a man who married because he wanted a handy woman around the house to darn his socks and sew on his buttons finds to his chagrin that It would have been cheaper to have hired some wom an to do the mending. "I think she is pretty as a picture," said a eirl in a squad of normalites. I turned and looked at the speaker she was pretty, herself. "Oh, I don't think she's a rit pretty!" said another girl. I looked at this girl and she was very plain. And I've noticed before that it is mostly the pretty girls who acknowl edge good looks in others. Tom Thompson in Howard Courant. Old Bill Shiftless can't figure out what tlie world is coming to, reports the Osborne Farmer. He says he be lieves in temperance, but a man ought to be acle to get a drink when he wants it. and it is nobody's business. Bill says the officers of the law are carrying things with a high hand. In explanation it might be said for Old Bill that he is a trifle sore over the fact that he went to certain people and offc-red to furnish evidence that would stick a fello r for selling a little beer. He said if he had the money he could get the goods and would then swear to it. He wanted five dollars for doUig it. The officers turned him down. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. Some people are not even god liars. There are times when a busy man gets lazy and envies the loafers. If members of a man's family love bim, they will brag on him a good deal. While a collar button la frequently evasive, a bet is the easiest thing to lose. This is the season of the year when artists are busy putting legs on bathing suits. Muck-rakes don't-seem to be digging quite so deep as they did a few years back. If a man works a good deal on his lawn, he can be a good citizen without working at the polls. It Is a little difficult to fathom the af fections of a man who kills a woman be cause he loves her so. While leaning to prudery not at all, we incline to the belief "that one wearing a bathing suit should bathe. In handing It to those who can't come back, remember the many who never ar rive, and you may not feel so bad about It. Those who sit up night to admire the Noble Red Man possibly have never been told how scarce are bathtubs on the reservation.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. CFrom the New York Press. A man needs two vacations to get over one. Gratitude always finds a place where It can hide itself from sight. The danger about having women vote Is they might get to understand all tne political questions men don't. The man who had a million to spend on his yacht could feel very bitter about the man who had two million to spend on his. A gh-1 will trust her love letters under her pillow at night, but for her rings She wants an absolutely safe place like an old shoe. BY THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSON. Notice to Kansas politicians who are expecting to "ride in on 'em" T. R.'s coat tails are growing shorter every day. The "former suitor" is always sus pected in a murder case, although the chancer are the former suitor spends most of ills time congratulating him self over his escape, rather than plot ting violent vengeance. Mothers have such logical ideas about the raising of other people's children, it might be a good idea for all mothers to swap kids. It requires some effort to appreci ate all the good things a man has done when you are one of them. The only time some people ever make a special effort is when the ef fort Is wasted. They are like the woman who turned on the full hy drant force in a wild effort to get the lawn watered before the impending rain storm could drive, her off the Job. TRULY, THE DAFFYDIL IS LIT TLE SHORT OF A CRIME. If Roosevelt is -on the Salt River packet's passenger list is Dix-on? (Toot-too. Cast off that bow line. you blinkety-blankety blink!)

Now that the crank dog ordinance has been kicked in the slats, the field Is open to the simp who wants to equip the cats with red tail lights and license numbers. This coiyum is getting so stale we may have to print some political ad vertising to liven it up. That would be a great improvement .as some of the political advertising is tunny enough to get. three or four good ha-ha's per line.,. SAYS UNCLE GAV Nobody gets fat on swallowed pride. Usually it means a surrender of man hood; he who prostitutes principle presently is prey to consciousness of veakness that needs no accuser tc in sure defeat. Courage is the' biggest of human as sets, and there are several kinds. The greatest of these is moral courage the strength that comes of a know ledge of rectitude and the further knowledge that," whatever its short comings, society prizes right-doing and rlght-thinfelng1 above all its gaudy baubles. One man with goodly pride in him self is wortlr ai;host of self-accused poltroons. He is an aggressive factor in all with which' he Is concerned, and must in the very mature of things pre vail over such as have let manhood slips to makey room for temporaril profitable cowardice. Thieves, traitors, dastards and all the unclean crew of criminals lack much of being the strong characters that we are sometimes wont to Imagine them." They are weaklings who cannot play the game according ty the rules, who have swallowed their pride, given over manhood and sunk to their places with the lees of humanity. Feeling no longer the prick of pride, they are fit for strata gems, spoils, treasons and all manner of crimes. Statutary law has little, after all, to do with the prevention of crime. There is seldom a murderer who does not count upon escape. Pride alone holds most of us within bounds, and keeps our fingers from the throats of our neighbors. Pride gene, theie is no punishment surej enough to give pause to criminal ln-i stinct, if punishment, indeed, still I holds terrors for those whd have lost the stamp of manhood. A tramp with pride holds still the possibilities of regeneration; a king without It is but a degenerate incum brance of the earth.. (Copyright, 1912, oy w. m. Williams.) QUAKER MEDITATIONS.

THE EVENING STORY A Shotgun Heroine.. (By Lawrence Alfred Clay.) When Colonel Gilder had been call ed to town that morning on business, leavine- his daughter Flov and the cook to care for, the house, he had said to the girl before leaving: "Daughter, remember .what I have told you many times over. A tramp may appear during my absence. You will be sitting here on the veranda. He will gruffly demand food or mon ey. You will order him away in your sternest tones." "But he won't go," she said. "He may or he may not. If he doesn't if he shows a disposition to hold his ground or attack, you are to retire within your fortifications. I refer to the house. You will find my loaded shotgun in the sitting room. The tramp will probably attack by the side door, as that cannot be seen from the highway. Face the door with the gun at your shoulder. If he appears in the doorway give him warning. If he does not heed the warning "Shoot him on the spot, papa,' fin ished the daughter. "Exactly That is, pepper his legs with the birdshot. That will demor alize him and result in a retreat. Do not pursue him, but hold your ground until reinforcements arrive. I will be the reinforcements. Do you clearly understand?" "I do, father." An hour later, as Miss Floy reclined in a rocker on the veranda, a burly big tramp turned in at the gate. He had a swagger to his shoulders and a bad face. As a first military move ment, the erlrl stood up. As a second, she assumed a very stern and uncom promising expression. "iuiss r-r.iiid I tret a bite to eat at the kitchen?" was gruffly asked. JNo, Sir. InO iranipa icu The man shrugged his shoulders and looked around in a leering way. He was about to observe that the rich were growing richer and the poor poorer, and that there was no longer a show for a hard working man, when Miss Flov retired withl ntne rortiiica- tinn tr secure the first advantage. The tramp took it that she had gone to call a man of some sort, or a fe male cook who could handle a broom stick with deftness and vigor, ana ne retreated on his reserves. As he reached the highway an auto came up and stopped and a young man alighted and opened the gate without' giving him more than a passing glance Meanwhile, wimin ine iui untauuno, tha cirl had armed herself wltn tne gun. She thought the attitude of the tramp defiant. Yes. he was ascending the front steps; now, he was ringing the bell; now, he was shuffling his feet: now. he was retiring to come around to the sidedoor. "Hnlt! Halt!" For a moment he halted; and then b?n form showed in the door. The gun was fairly pointed and then discharged. and n. fall and a shout ioliowea. inen the cook came rushing in to find a girl cowering on the floor and to exclaim For mercv sake, but has tne aear girl went and committed suicide! 'Out there! Out tnerc:" gaspea ine shooter as she pointed to the open door. And what's out there? Oh, Missy, but here's a dead man! Was it you that went and killed him?" It's a tramp that attacked the house. Papa told me to retire within the for tifications and defend them." "Tramp? If he's a tramp, then I m a lady! It's a young man, Missy a ycung man and well dressed, and upon my soul there's an otomobiley at the gate!". The colonel had not instructed his daughter what to do with any dead the retreating enemy might leave behind him, and for a moment the girl could only stand and wring her hands. She had made a mistake in her quarry. She braced up after a moment and ran through tne nouse ana aown xne pain to the gate and cried to the chauffeur, Who was nodding in drowsiness: "Quick quick! Half a mile down the road a doctor! I have shot your mas ter." "Shot him! What for?" "I don't know, but hurry hurry hurry! Maybe there's a chance to save his life." The auto whizzed away and Miss Floy returned to the house. The cook had straightened the legs of the victim, put a pillow under his head and was sprinkling water on his face. "Is he is he dead!" was tearfully asked. "Dunno, Missy, though I saw a leg twitch a moment ago." "If he's dead then -I'll he electro cuted." "For sure! You see, he's a beautiful young man and an innocent young man and it'll be cold-blooded murder. Yes, jou'll be 'lectrocnted, but I'll be there to hold your hand and cheer you to the last." At that moment the young man sighed. Then he opened his eyes. Then he rose upon his elbow. "Praise the saints!" piously observed-1 the cook. "I'm so glad!" whispered Miss Floy. "Can you tell me what has hap pened?" asked the young man as he raised himself still higher with a lit tle assistance. "Yes; I shot you. I thought you were a tramp. I have sent your auto after a doctor, and we will have you in bed soon. I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am." "You peppered my legs, and the nervous shock did the rest. Don't worry about it. This Is Mies Glider, I take It? I am Mr. Trainor. I was here to see your father. First time I was ever taken for a tramp or shot In the legs, but don't mention It." The doctor arrived, and with the aid of the cook and chauffeur, the victim was carried to the guest cham ber. About 20 bird shot had pepper ed his legs. The Job of picking them out lasted about two hours. During this operation the medico was gruff and uncommunicative, but when the last pellet had been laid on the sand he said: "Young man, you could get "up and ride away tomorrow, but you won't do it" "No "I "You'll stay here for a couple of weeks. You'll be up in two or three days, but don't forget to hobble to the last day." "Why hobble?" "To make it a cat i of remorse for that girl. Remorst admiration love! If' you are already engaged throw the girl overboard if you are not then you will be inside of -three monthst. What are a few bird shot In the legs compared to a girl like Miss Gilder?" This was a question Mr. Trainor had asked himself half a dozen times with the next two hours, and he was quite content to be a patient. Colonel Gilder heard of the shooting before reaching' home, and he came rushing Into the house to exclaim: "Egad, but there's nothing o beat military tactics! The enemy' ap peared in force; you retired within your fortifications; he advanced to storm them; you -drove him back and then sallied out and took him pris oner. All perfectly regular, daughter, and your father is proud of you. Where s the prisoner?" Three days later as Miss Floy hap pened to be alone on the veranda for a moment the same old tramn reap peared. There was a grin on his; face and nothing vocious about it this time. "And how about a bite to eat under tne present circumstances? "What circumstances?" "Young man shot in the legs shot by a girl lying upstairs girl sorry young man glad moonlight turtle doves bless you, my children bless you!" "You can go to the kitchen and ask the cook," replied the blushing young Jady, "but let me tell you that you are a-very impudent fellow'"- And" yet the tramp knew .human nature (Copyrighted. 1912 by the As sociated Literary Press.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON.- The Folks We Dread to Tell, In almost every family there is some person whom all' the others dread to tell when anything goes amiss. once in awhile it is the mother sometimes it is a domineering son or daughter; far more often it Is tne head of the house. A friend of mine fell and broke her arm. She was a middle-aged woman and was quite ill with the pain and shock. Her husband was absent at the time, and she decided not to let him know about the accident until his return. The day before he was to ar rive she became so frightened at the thought of telling him that her fever went up to a dangerous pitch, she ac tually became delirious and the nurse heard her murmur over and over again, "What will Harry say?" Of course, the fall was entirely an accident one does not break one's arm on purpose. And yet the thought of telling himself actually frighten ed the poor lady into a delirium mis case is extreme, but it Illus trates the queerest feature of the whole matter that it is not only the things for which they are to blame but even the most palpable accidents which the other members of the fam ily dread to tell to the fault-finding one. The expressman, in spite of all warnings, gouges a piece out of the hall paper; a neighbor s puppy digs up the newly planted flower-bed; the butcher sends up a bad piece of meat flllrplv for nnno t Vi n tbinpa 1st I the mistress of the hnusn culDable. land yet her dread of telling him about the unfortunate accident clouds over her whole day. Once upon a time there was a man who, although at heart a very kindly person, had gradually drifted, into this i attitude. One morning the housemaid broke an expensive vase, and as usual, his wife began to dread the terrible moment when she should have to tell HIM. She was not feeling very well and the dread wore on her nerves more than usual so that by night she was almost sick. As it hap pened, her husband was in a particu larly good humor that evening, and when she finally summoned up cour age to tell him, he said very pleas antly, "Well, dear, that's too bad. You always liked that vase. Do you sup pose I could find another one for you?" Thereupon, his wife, who had expected an entirely different re sponse, actually burst into tears from sheer relief. Explanations followed, during which the husband, being a man of unusual perception, realized the attitude he had been taking, and solemnly resolved to be more reason able In the future. I doubt if any of these dreaded folks realize how much happiness they spoil. Oftentimes they are led into this attitude by their women folks' readiness to apologize and cringe in regard to any unfortunate happening. Tyrants of any sort, as I have often said, are partly other folks' fault. Are you in the least degree such a tyrant Or are you doing anything to help make one Issued Note for a Penny. Once a Bank cf England note for one penny was ipsued by mistake. It got into circulation, and was a source of great annoyance to many persons when making up accounts. Search was made by the bank and at length it discovered the holder of the note. who returned it t them for a fancy price. This is the smallest amount for which an English note has ever been issued, for of course notes under 3 are never drawn up unless by mistake. On no account are notes issued twice from the hank, and they are al ways cancelled even If exchanged for cash immediately on their issue. About fifty thousand notes are presented for payment every day. and In one depart ment a large staff of clerks is em ployed entirely to count and Sort the notes that have been paid in on the previous day. The cancelled notes are burned five years after the year of presentation. More than ninety millions of old notes are stored away in the bank, and about every fortnight a large quantity of old notes is destroyed. Answers. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Some opponents of Champ Clark ara trying to make capital of the fact that Champ Clark went to bed with his boots on in a hotel in Florence, Kan., some years ago. It won't do. An at tempt of this sort will react. If it is a move by the Woodrow Wilson bunch It should fall of its own weight. In the first place a man has a right to go to bed with his boots on. Clark had hired the bed for the night. It Isn't as if he had gone to some other per son's bed and had worn his boots. He was in his right. In addition to this it is quite the style in Pike county, Mis souri, for statesmen to go to bed in their boots and a move on the part of the highbrows, as represented by Schoolmaster Wilson, to poke fun, will come back like a boomerang. Once tackle the old styles of the Missourians and the entire state Is up in arms, and should be. Once start the story of the boots on in bed after the noun' daw and the warmest posses that were ever is pursuit couldn't catch up with the vote-making possibilities of th new slogans Clark would have coined. It is all foolishness to Jump onto the hob ties of a statesman from Missouri, for that is the state where hobbles are hatched. The plan to put Champ Clark cut of .the running because he wore his boots, (his own boots, you understand.) In his bed, (his own bed, you know,) in a Kansas hotel during a Chautauqua tour, will react on the perpetrator. A man must have some sort of amuse ment on a chautaqua tour. Hutch inson News. WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS. A good baseball storv is alwava mail able but many a story that deals with the national game is marred by the ig norance of the sport exhibited by the writer. Heffernan is the name of-an alleged artist in short story writing who contributes a baseball sketch to the June number of McClure's Maga zine. It is a mascot story and the hero Is a small terror that abandons the Joys of rat catching to give luck to a team, presumablv the New Vnrir Giants, of the National Leas-im In this one short story, Mr. Heffernan commits three serious soleclsnis that condemn him as an ignoramus In base ball. He deliberately calls the Chicag.j team, the "Reds." Every fan who knows even the primer of baseball knows that the Cincinnati team has been the "Reds" ever since the Na tional League was organized. That team has failed to win the pennant as many years as it has played ball but it has never forfeited its right to be known as the Clnclrnatl Reds. To make matters worse, the writer has the visiting team go to bat in the last half of the ninth inning in a game tlat was to djcide the championship of the league. Now- every man who knows a base hit from a passed bail knows that it is the home team that goes to bat In the last half of tho ninth inning in about nine hundred and ninety-nine games out of a thousand. The third blunder of this ambitious writer who must have learned baseball in a young ladies' seminary is that the visiting team appeared on the field In white uniforms. The ignorance ct some people is simply dlscouragingly awful. Salina Union. raoM other pens MEMENTO THAT" BELONGS HERE.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL JUNE 11, 1912 TALKS 0T UNION John Mitchell Delivers an In teresting Address. Tells of Movement to Improve Conditions in America. WORK ON A HIGHER PLANE Tnrpose Is io Increase Effi ciency and Raise Standards. Auditorium Nearly Filled for the Meeting. "There can be no permanent pros perity to the wage earner, no real and lasting progress, no consecutive improvement in conditions until the principle is firmly and fully established that in industrial life, especially in enterprises of a large scale the settle ment of wages, hours of labor, and all conditions of work must be made be tween employers and workmen col lectively, and not between employers and workmen individually." So said John Mitchell in hfs lecture, "The Philosophy, Purpose and Ideals of the Trade Union Movement" at the Audi torium last night. An audience which filled the lower floor and part of the balcony of the Auditorium greeted John Mitchell, vice president of the American Federa tion of Labor on his first visit to To peka last night, air. Mitchell was brought to Topeka under the auspices of the Topeka Industrial council for the purpose of getting the members of the different unions to become, more interested in the history of trade unions. Mr. Mitchell was for many years the president of the United Mine "Workers of America and is considered one of the greatest exponents of labor in the country. He is a pleasing talk er and his powerful lecture kept his audience in a state of animation throughout the evening. KxpJalns Labor Movement. Mr. Mitchell said: "To understand the philosophy, the purposes and the ideals of the trade union movement, it is necessary that we first understand the history of the industrial develop ment, that we have a clear comprehen sion on the problems that characterize modern industrial life, and that we keep in mind the fact that the ideal of the trade union is not so much to secure the advancement of the excep tional man as to bring about the gen eral and gradual uplift of the great ma.ss of wage earners.- In early times the question of distribution was not a great factor in -determining the health or wealth or happiness of the human race. It was not until the-invention of machinery, the use of steam, the advent of the factory system, and the application of new processes that the question of distribution became the problem, the solution of which has taxed the ingenuity of the world's economists and statesmen. In early times the structure of society was sim ple, each family consumed the articles it produced. The family raised its I w Jt -urn- itTTTrrran i m Tint Jolin Mitchell, Vice President of American Federation of Labor, AYlio Deliv eretl an Address at the Auditorium Last Night. own food and it made its own clothes from the fleece of its own sheep, and there was little assistance given by one to the other and but little purchase and sale. Today, however, society is organized on the basis of a minute and complicated division of labor and an extended exchange and interchange of commodities. A man no longer con sumes more than the smallest fraction of articles he produces, and perhaps he consumes none at all. Through the agency of money, all producers are able to get the articles they wish to consume at the time and in the man ner desired, and we thus have in mod ern society the example of all. pro ducing for all. instead of each pro- aucing ior nimseii. New Order of Things. 'Xo one can understand the true nature of trade unionism without un derstanding the industrial revolution and what it has accomplished. The history of mankind has been more vitally affected by changes in its ma chines and its methods of doing busi ness, than by any action or council of statesmen or philosophers. What wo call the modern world with its huge population, its giant cities, its political democracy, its growing in tensity of life, its contrasts of wealth and poverty this great, whirling, rest less civilization with all its vexing problems is the offspring largely of changed conditions of producing wealth. Much that is good and much that is bad in the new order of things i& due to these changes. The rapid progress in art and sciences; the ad vance in technical processes; the change from wood to iron and from iron to steel; the girdling of the earth by the iron rail; the copper wire; the vivified air itself; the education of the people: the massing of the millions in the cities; the abject misery of the poor-: the whole change from a mo notonously simple to a complex and intricate life all this is a part and a consequence of the industrial revolu tion. "The idea of the trade union is to combine in one organization all the men employed at a given trade, and to demand and secure for each and all of them a uefinite and minimum standard of wages, hours of labor and conditions of work. By this it is not meant that the wages of all shall be the same, but merely that equal pay shall be given for equal work. In the pursuit of this ideal the workingmai has sought strength in union and has associated himself in labor federa tions through which he strives to se cure m What Labor Demands. "A minimum wage that shall en able men and women to live in i manner comfortable to American ptandardF, to educate the children ana to mane adequate provision against sicKness and old age.

Purposes of the Strike. ""There is no one phase of our in dustrial life so much discussed and so little understood by the average citizen as the strike. To understand the moral influence of a justifiable strike it is necessary to consider the ideals of the working people; and to understand the strike itself it is important that answer be made to some of the stereotyped criticisms di rected against the -strike. many of which are the outgrowth of prejudice or of unreliable information. It is often charged that trade unions desire strikes because, it is alleged, they are organized for that purpose. This, however, is not true. They are or ganized for the purpose of securing better conditions for life and labor for their members and usually, when unavoidable a strike" is resorted to as a means to that end, but it can no more be said mat trade unions desire strikes because they are equipped for them, than the United States government desires war be cause it has an army and navy. The prevalence of strikes, as of all dra matic occurrences, is grossly exagger ated. Tragic, dramatic or startling events are so impressed on the mind that we fail to realize that they are highly exceptional. While we read daily of the threatened outbreaks of strikes, of the threatened declaration of lockouts, the average workman en gaged in trades in which strikes oc cur, loses less tnan one any in eauii year in this manner. A strike lasts, generally speaking about twenty three davs. but the average employer peacefully carries on his business for thirty years without the interruption of strikes. I Little Violence. There has been disseminated al widespread impression that bloodshed and disorder, riot and lawlessness are invariable accompaniments of indus trial disputes. As a matter of fact, the amount of violence actually com mitted is greatly magnified. What ever there is should be visited with the strong disapproval of public opin ion. If I believed that the success of the trade union movement depend ed in any degree upon, the commission of illegal acts I should not hesitate for a single moment to sever my con nections with it. But the justifiable practices and the splendid principles of trade unionism should not be as sailed on account of the occasional violence or because of illegal acts committed in its name. The trade union movement lsneitn- er revolutionary nor destructive, it seeks not to disrupt society or the in stitutions of our country. Its purpi.w is constructive. Its work evolutionary, and it makes for the perfection of so ciety. It seeks- the ..wider and more equitable distributipnj.of .wealth in or der that all our people may deve op to their highest-and. best possibilities. Every man who becomes a member of trade unions subscriDes -substantially to the following- declaration: r Movement Is Upward. We are pledged to the emancipation of our class from poverty, ignorance, and selflshnesB; to be respectful m word and action to every woman; to be considerate to the widow and the or phan, the weak and defenseless ana never to discriminate against a fellow worker on account oi creea. romr w nationality; to defend freedom or thought whether expressed by tongue or oen: to educate ourselves and our fellow workers in the history of the la bor movement.

To determine the fool value to animals of sulphured oats, concerning which there has bee.1 much discussion for several years, the department of agriculture will make tests on horses and .cattle on one its experiment farms near here. After a conference Secretary Wilson, Repre sentative Moss, chairman of the house committee on agriculture, and several of department's bureau chiefs, it was decided that the bureaus of plant and animal industry jointly should conduct actual experiments to see whether the sulphuring of oats injures it as animil food.- The feeding will begin shorlly and will continue probably for two or three months. At the same time two aricds of corn, subjected to various degrees of heat ing, will be fed to cattle, sheep and hogs on the department's farm to fiid out whether heated and moldy corn is a. fit animal fQOd. ANTHONY FILES PAPERS His Nominating Petitions Contain Over 2,000 Names. The nomination" petitions for Con gressman D. R. Anthony, Jr., were filed with the secretary of state today by E. E. Brewster, chairman of the First district Republican congressional com mittee. They were filed from all the eight counties of the district. Under the primary election law the minimum number- of petitioners to place a con didate's name on the ballot in thj First district is 423 and the maxim'-ui 2,143. The Anthony petitions container over 2,000 names and covered nearly all the precincts in the district. "All the indications point to Con gressman Anthony's renomination by a large majority," said Mr. Brewster. 'Mr Anthony will be much stronger in Brown, Nemaha and Doniphan, tV:e three counties in the Twenty-second judicial district, than was at first an ticipated. "There is a big fight on Judge Stuart in Doniphan county and the vote wili be close between him and Mr. An thony. There is no ordinary factiorl division in Doniphan county, the same as in most other counties, and the line up is Leland and anti-Leiand. Judge Stuart is looked on as Mr. Leland's personal candidate and many believe that he would not be running this year had Mr. Leland been appointed pension agent in the fall of 1910. "Judge Stuart was a regular, and b't- terlv aeainst all insurgents in tne An thony-McNeal contest and now he finfs that many of his former political assi' ciates will not follow him in his sud den changes. Judge Stuart voucne. for Mr. Anthony being all right ar.d kindly accompanied him in a campaign tour over Doniphan county in the pri mary contest two years ago. "I have visited nearly all (parts of the district and find that Mr. Anthony is. much stronger in most of the coun ties than he was in the former cam paign. He will have a bigger vote .in Leavenworth, Jackson and Jeffer-ci counties and his majority up to Shaw nee county will be about the same as it was in the primary contest in 1910. Mr. Anthony came to Shawnee county with 3,312 majority two years ago. "There is no popular Topeka home candidate like Mr. McNeal running thi3 year and I am told on all sides that Mr. Anthony will carry Shawnee county by a good majority insuring him a big victory in the district." WHO IS THIS MAN? Alleged Topekan Wants to Bet $50,000 on Roosevelt in Chicago. Chicago, June 11. The corpulent man who looks like Taft, talks Roosevelt and exhibits money in peck measure lots is Major Thomas Dunphy of To peka, Kan. He arrived in Chicago today, took his stand in the middle of the Con gress hotel lobby and began offering to wager money on Roosevelt's chances of nomination. He wanted to bet any figure, from $1 up to $50,000. Major Dunphy isn't a delegate to the conven tion. He simply is a Roosevelt advo cate at large, 'I'd- like tov,het" this roll on Colonel Roosevelt's chances of being nominated and elected," said the major, exhibiting the interior of a pocket that might have been a seetion of a sub-treasury. The interviewer suggested that he might be prevailed upon to take a lit tle if the bet was broken up into car fare lots. "Say. that's no joking matter,"' said the indignant. Roosevelt man. "I came all the way from Topeka to lay a small wager on the colonel and I am goina to find some backer of the president with sand enough to take it." So ne stumped away in high dudgeon. The name of Thomas Dunphy isn't in the new Topeka city directory just issued. Auerbachg Guette CLOTHING CO YOU never had such an opportunity to get big clothes value at $20 as we're giving you now.

Burning and painful excretions from the bladder indicate the inflamed and congested condition of the bladder and the fact that the kidneys are in a similarly inflamed and congested condition, are overworked, are actually trying to throw off more poison from the system than they can possibly. The United Doctors will make careful microscopic and chemical examination of the secretions and if you have not already developed Brlght's Disease, they will cure you sound and well. The treatment will not keep you from business, will strengthen you immediately for more work and cure you in a reasonable time at a reasonable cost. If you are not cured you owe them nothing. As to Prostatic troubles, come in, let us explain this malady to you. Not one person In a hun dred know exactly the nature of prostatic disorders and do not realize the weakening, nerve wreck ing effect these have on the human body. TilckO Tne result of this affliction is a chronie constipated condition of the bowels, painful J: lieS. hours and a lifetime of them. One cannot do his best with constant torturing pains de tracting his mind from business. The United Doctors cure piles without cutting, without delay from work and with no pain. Their first treatments will give wonderful relief and a reasonable length of treatment will cure piles permanently. T j T;Qr. Are you aware of the fact that half of the physicians to whom you take JSIOOQ 1 OlSOIlt a case 0f this loathsome disease treat you for something else, especially if the trouble is long standing and there are no outward signs of poison in the blood? Don't think that It is necessary to have a' terrible running sore on the skin to have blood poison. Thousands of people contract this disease, are treated by some quick, quack cure, the poison is driven from the surface to the marrow of the bones, to the nervous centers of the body. There, blood poison will work and wreck lives and the ordinary physician will treat those cases for tuberculosis, rheuma tism neuralgia, etc.; and never knows what is the trouble. You are allowed to die with Locomotor Ataxia. If you will come to the United Doctors Institute as hundreds of other people have, with hope gone health gone, and confidence in the medical fraternity shattered, you will learn something, you will be convinced that that young man at the head of the United Doctors Institute, Dr. Franklin D. Walsworth, knows what-he is talking about and that he has a cure for you and will guarantee it. Don't wait if you are suffering from diseases. Don't depend too much on your system to throw off your malady. Thousands stronger than you have lost on Just this point. The United Doctors treat curable cases of Astham.

The William George at this address was reported to be a brother of Oscar in the State Journal Monday afternoon, but he says that he has no relatives in this section of the country, except his father, and he lives in To peka. Oscar George has a brother named "William who is in Topeka and is employed by the Mutual Laundry company, Chief of Police Morris Jenkins is in Atchison on a business trip today. Walter Shehi, aged twenty years, was arrested by Detectives Summers and Anderson this morning and is charged with forging the name of W. W. Gilmore, a contractor, to two j checks which aggregate about $19. The checks were drawn on the Bank of Topeka. One was drawn in favor of H. Shea for $9.35 and the other in favor of F. Magee for $9.47. The for-j mer check was passed on M. Scrinopski j and the other on Harry Nathanson, both pawn shop keepers. Mr. Nathan son has identified Shehi as the person who passed the check in his place but Scrinopski has been unable to identify him. The checks were dated June 1 and the detectives have been working passed. The checks were held ud at passed. The checks weer held up at the bank and returned because Mr. Ollmore did not have an account with the institution. John Small, the negro who it is al leged stole $140 out of the office of the Agard Planing Mill company, while he was employed at washing the win dows, is held for a hearing in the dis trict court. This negro, after being ar rested by the police, refused to admit committing the crime but offered to restore the money to the Agard com pany. Through the influence fo his law yer, he changed his mind and will now force Mr. Agard to present his evidence in court. Steve Prouty and Mary Miller, both negroes, were arrested by Officers England and Wyatt Monday night on the charge of being drunk and dis orderly. The young couple were walk ing in the middle of the street and taking lots of space when the officers accosted them. In addition to that, they wrere quarrelsome and wanted to fight, but the officers prevented this. Three persons who were called to the attention of the police this morn ing are thought to be habitual beg gars. The three persons are William Perkins and wife and sister. The sis ter, Susie Perkins, who is about 16 years old, called at the police station early in the morning and asked for assistance in getting back to her home in West Virginia. She said that she arrived in Topeka Monday night with her brother and his family. Accord ing to her story, they took rooms in a lodging house the wife and two children sleeping in one bed and she and her brother in another bed. Dur ing the night the three older persons engaged in a quarrel and she left the place. A short time later William Perkins, who admitted that he was her brother, called at the police sta tion and asserted that his family was at the Fifth Avenue hotel and that he. was out of money and. unable to buy breakfast for them. He stated that their home was in Lawrenceville, 111., but that they had left Peoria for Council Bluffs, Iowa. Later he said that he and his family and sister were on their way to Emporia. He had vis ited C. N. Bacon, the poor commis sioner, and got transportation to Bur lingame. The stories conflicted and when questioned closely on the sub ject he left the police station. His sister was found a short time later in the waiting room of the Rock Island depot, where she was seeking assistance. MAY GO TO M'PHERSON That Place Favored for Methodist Old People's Home.

s THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL JUNE 11, 1912 TO CONTROL FOOD Standard Oil Company Puts Money Into Restaurants. Independents Being Crushed Jjy Cheap Places. FUN NATION-WIDE CHAIN Keal Estate Business Also to Be Made to Pay Tribute. Bakers' Monopoly and Grocers Pay Capitalists ITell. rsew ork, June 11. For some weeks moderately worded circulars or statements have been exposed in prominent places setting forth brief jy tne plan of the corporation which operates a large number of restaur ants in Xew York and in other cities of combining certain real estate ac tivities with their business. The an nouncements are so worded as to con vey the impression that the promoters or -tnis plan nave confidence in its feasibility, certain that it will return a reasonable profit to those who make investment in this proposition. The plan amounts to no more than tnis: i ne restaurant company, in stead of leasing rooms or buildings for its business, purposes buying suit able structures upon which to build "minings adapted to that business The promoters figure that there will lie a large saving because the interest upon th investment in buildings and lands will be much less than the ren tal prices paid. These already amount yearly to very large sums. Many of those who have read these c.rculars have thought or said that this is an other expansion of the Stand, rd Oil company's business. The belief has widely prevailed that the Standard Oil company, as a company, has furnished much of the capital which has made the extension of this chain of restaur ants throughout Xew York and alfo in other cities of the country possible. One of the features developed by the business done by- this restaurant company is the complaint which many independent restaurant keepers have made. They have been saying that these restaurants again exemplify the disposition of the Standard Oil com pany to secure practical monopoly of various markets In which the Stand ard Oil company is interested. The reply which has been made to this ac cusation is this: These restaurants have prospered because literally hun dreds of thousands daily patronize them. These patrons are for the most part men and women whose incomes are small or who work for wages. They would not patronize the restaur ants if they were not satisfied with the food, the service and the prices. Perhaps in no more striking manner is the issue between those who control large capital which is put to use in various retail business and those small independent proprietors who insist that they are crushed by this large capital illustrated. The True Story. A few days ago one of the leading officers of the Standard Oil company of Xew Jersey admitted that what is often called Standard Oil money has been Invested in, this restaurant cor poration. Furthermore, additional Standard Oil money, so called, has se cured for the purpose of financing the company into that greatly enlarged field which it purposes to occupy namely, the establishment of a great real estate department and also a nation-wide chain of cheap restaurants. This, however, is Standard Oil mon ey only in the sense that men of capi tal who are prominent in the Standard Oil company have, as individuals, in vested Dnsiderable amounts in the restaurant company. It is plain, however, that the individual stock holders in the Standard Oil company must find some means of reinvest ing the money which they receive in the form of dividends or interest. Some of these men of capital have be?n disposed recently to make in vestment of this kind in various in dustrial companies. And it has ften been remarked that this disposition justifies? the belief that the men of .great affairs of the Standard Oil com-, pany are convinced that the industrial field offers as good, if not better, op- MBS. STEVENS RECOVERS After Years of Suffering. Tells How Her Health Was Regained. portunities for the investment of mon ey than do the railroads. The -question is often asked why men who have the wealth which these Standard Oil capitalists possess have been disposed to put some of their money into such a humble pro position as the chief victualling shop. But the fact is the attention of some of these men was called to the earlier management of this company. They discovered that these mana gers had, in a high degree, a gift of symmetrical, economical and efficient organization. That is a quality which has always appealed to Standard Oil men and particularly to John D. Rockefeller. A little investigation showed these Standard Oil capitalists that the successful management of a chain of restaurants involved quite as high organizing, constructive and business capacity as does the. manage ment of the department stores. It was for this reason the Standard Oil men were persuaded to invest a good deal of monev in this company. But they have never interfered with the management of the company; in fact, they have found it unnecessary to do that. This cheap restaurant corpora tion, in its management, is now es teemed one of the most highly suc cessful of American business enterprises. The management represents, in some respects, the principles upon which Frank A. Munsey has based a business of which the public knows but little, but which has been, rela tively speaking, as successful as has been his publishing business. Mr, Munsey is one of the leading grocers of the t'nited States. His chain of retail groceries, numbering some fifty stores in all, represents the principle of buying in very large amounts, paying cash for these purchases, re ceiving, therefore, not only the best wholesale price, but also a five per cent discount for cash. The grocer ies thus purchased in very large quantities are then offered for sale in he various retail grocery shops. There are no incidental expenses maintained in the management of these shops no delivery wagons, no mployees who are occupied in driving the wagons or in caring for the horses. The result is that Mr. Mun sey as a grocer is able to undersell every other grocer in the towns in which his shops are established. Some of these shops do a very large trade; but the customers have to car ry home the provisions which they buy. Independent grocers in the towns here Mr. Munsey has established his hops complain bitterly. They say hat Mr. Munsey, with his capital. hich is very large, is able to sain dvantages which thev With their small capital cannot secure. Some of them say that the only way they can eep their business going is by giving credit for from a month to six months to their customers. Xo customer can take any article from Mr. Munsey's store unless he has paid spot cash for The public supports these stores. ot giving much heed to the com- laints of the little independent grocer. Another Good Example. Many of the bakers of Xew York nd, in fact, of the entire metropoli tan district, are complaining now ve hemently of the advent of what they call a monopoly control of the bakery business. In some of the towns in which this so-called monopolistic bak ery has carried on its business the lit tle independent bakers have issued circulars. They have sent these to all the citizens in these towns. They urge these citizens not to support business carried on by means of the money of the rich monopolists, who, as the circulars say. maintain automo biles, pleasure yachts and overload themselves with diamonds. There is Standard Oil money in this so-called monopoly, and some of it is John D. Rockefeller's money. His at tention was called some years ago to the manner in which the proprietors ot a bakery in a western city had or ganized and were managing their business. Mr. Rockefeller discovered that these men possessed a gift of w hich he is a great admirer namely, the ability to organize a business upon symmetrical, economical and efficient lines. This was the demonstration which led Mr. Rockefeller to invest some of his money in this business. It has already grown to great propor tions. It has gained its triumph not because it is a partial, or even com plete, monopoly, but because great numbers of the plain people find that it is to their advantage to buy the pro ducts, while on the other hand the economies, the symmetry and the ef ficiency of the organization make it possible to market the products not at cut prices, but at the averages price charged by all bakers for these pro ducts, and at the same time make a reasonable and certain profit upon the investment. The Standard Oil company, as such, certainly since the dissolution, is not in any other busi ness than that associated with the min ing and manufacturing of oil and kin dred products, but vast amounts of money which the stockholders of this company have received in the form of dividends have been invested individ ually in various other occupations.

Plunkett and H. T. Plunkett were arrested by Marshal Bert Bogart of Bucklin. Wilhite stated in his confession that Paris K. Plunkett of Bucklin. assisted him in the purchase of a camera and in the photographing of a J 5 note. Wilhite also said that Plunkett made the trip to Wichita with him several weeks ago when they passed counter feit bills at the Colonial and Pastime theaters. After this visit Plunkett got "cold feet" and refused to put out any more of the bogus bills, says Wilhite. Paris K. Plunkett is stepfather of Wilhite' s wife. He is 40 years old. H. T. Plunkett, 4 5 years old, is P. K. Plunkett's brother. Both men have lived at Bucklin for years, where they were favorably known. H. T. Plunk ett is said to have passed a counterfeit J5 bill on a coal dealer at Bucklin. He told the authorities that he received the bogus note from his brother, p. K. Plunkett, in a leter and believed it to be good- i "I see from the press dispatches to day," said Morton Albaugh, former Republican leader of "Kansas, "that Governor Stubbs characterizes the ac tion of the national committee in seat- ing Taft delegates in every contest case so far as 'blacker than horse stealing.' Xow it may be all right for an honest man to object to that Ninth Alabama decision and the one from one of the Indiana districts, but it ill becomes Governor Stubbs to do so. It was Ptubbs who reintroduced political thievery in Kansas in 1904 after it had been abandoned for fourteen years." Mr. Albaugh was pressed for an ex planation of his words and ne con tinued as follows: "At the Wichita convention when Hoch was nominated the first time Governor Stubbs pulled off a deal of unseating regularly elect ed delegates rawer than the Alabama case. Stubbs was, as you remember, temporary and permanent chairman of that convention. Well, he appoint ed a credentials committee that un seated the delegates from Jackson and Miami and Wyandotte counties. It is true that only one-half of the Wyan dotte delegates were unseated, but the half remaining refused to sit unless their colleagues with equal rights were allowed their seats. The case of the Jackson county delegates was raw, and so was the Miami case, but the Wyan dotte case was the worst ever. The Wyandotte Steal. "The anti-Stubbs crowd had control of the Wyandotte convention by a big majority and elected thier delegates. Afterwards the Stubbs crowd got to gether and named delegates. It was like the case of the Missouri delegates at large who were named by Roosevelt men in control of- the Missouri state convention and then a few Taft men got together afterwards and named four Taft delegates. There are men that will have right to protest in case these Taft men are named from Mis- souri, but Governor Stubbs of Kansas is not one of them, for he did the same thing himself in Kansas in the cam paign of 1904. Albaugh sawed the air with his hands as he went into the details of the Stubbs act of 1904. He told how the regulars stood for it because they had to and how they voted for the state ticket that year to save the par ty. Albaugh refused to discuss the rights and wrongs of the national com mittee contests at this time beyond ad mitting that the Roosevelt delegates from Missouri were undoubtedly en titled to their seats. He would not pretend to predict the outcome of the present terrible struggle within the party. Albaugh is generally the most reticent of men, preferring to act rather than to talk. But the Stubbs outbreak against' the committee aroused the old state leader out of his calm and he told what Roosevelt would- call the "naked truth" about the way Stubbs handled contests in Kansas in what Dave Leahy would call the "palmy days of long ago." SOME GOOD SHOOTING vived the hail of hot ashes and stones are confronted with the serious prob lem of obtaining drinking water and food. AH'the crops were destroyed and the fish upon which many de pended for food were killed, resulting in the pollution of the water supply to such an extent there is great danger of pestilence. Steamers and tugs of every sort are hurrying to the island from the towns on the mainland to give relief. The destruction of the wireless sta tion at Kodiak and the inability of the Manning s wireless to communicate with the naval station at Cordova makes it difficult to get news to Se ward, the nearest cable office and it probably will be many days before de tails of the disaster are available. SCIENCE NOT USED So Many Couples Are Unhap' pily Married, Woman Says. Urges Marriage Councillors for All Big Towns. Reform School Club I.ed by Rayburn AVho Broke 44 Blue Rocks. Boston. June 11. Dr. Sarah X. Mer rick, a prominent woman pnysician oi Boston, says the old method of choosing a husband or wife because the contract ing parties think they love each other, has been discovered as the cause for unhappy marriages. It seems there is no science in it. and to marry happily one must choose one's mate scienfifi cally. She suggests that a marriage aid bureau be established at Wash ington to be conducted by the govern ment with councillors in different cities to help men and women in making sci entific marriages. 'Why people are unhappily married s the question that thousands are try ing to solve." says Dr. Merrick. "The answer is that the two persons don't use science. By science, I mean they don't compare their characters. By having councillors in Boston and other cities, mistakes could be pre vented. To begin with there are msiny young women who on perceiving that a certain young man is paying them attention, which is bound to result in a proposal, would like to procure th unbiased advice of a councillor, w nar would she do? She would simply go to the local counsellor and in a short time he would have a whole history of htr case." TOPEKA HIT HARD HeaVy Decrease in Value Out side the City.

The arrival of the tug Printer at Seward, Alaska, with dispatches from Kodiak gave the "first authentic details of the conditions on Kodiak and the adjoining islands which were buried under more than a foot of ashes from Katmai volcano. A message to the Associated Press from Captain Perry of the revenue cutter Manning, which afforded re fuge to the '500 inhabitants of Kodiak and the nearby villages of St. Paul and St. Meridan, said there was no loss of life at Kodiak but Captain Perry feared for the safety of those in the settlement near the volcano.

Dr. Ru pert Mackenzie in Popular Medicine. 1 Kansas City, June 11. Many a man walked to his work and home again after he had paid his carfare, as a re sult of an all-day skirmish betwe?n the Metropolitan Street Railway com pany. which operates the traction lines here and alleged employees of cigar dealers, over the enforcement of the company's "r.o smoking" rule. Twenty cars in different parts of the city were halted by the company, when the men aboard them began to smoke. The stop ping of these cars tied up. many lines throughout the city. Three arrests were made on account of encounters anions passengers. The differenced between the smokers and the Metropolitan began a year spo when the company issued an order pro hibiting smoking. A month ago the city council passed an ordinance per mitting smoking. The Metropolitan then, ordered its .trainmen to stop tbxit cars whenever a passenger began smoking. Since this order cars have been held while some persistent in dividual calmly puffed through his Havana and finally threw it out of the window. Monday an organized effort was made to best the company. A score of men boarded the cars with supplies of cigars which they passed out to all who would say they would smoke. Thf company declared all it could do was to shut off the "juice" until all the weed fires were snuffed out. The smok ers were firm and most of the passei. gers preferred to walk rather than take a chance on the time limit of a lover of tobacco. FLIES TO PATIENT. Doctor Answers a Hurry Call In an Aeroplane.

Dr. Alden communicated his predicament to the-Glenn Curtiss avi ation field and in five minutes was flying in an aeroplane at the side of Hugh Robinson, the aviator. The trip to Hammondsport was made in five minutes and the physi cian had attended to his patient and was back in Penn Yann in less than an hour. TWO POP POPS COLLIDE One Man Probably Fatally Hurt as a Result. Lawrence, Kan., June 11. Frank Helm, a Kansas university student, is unconscious as the result of a collis ion with a motor, cycle while riding his own machine. Stanley Skinner, the other rider, who was in the collision, escaped without injury. Helm was thrown from h's cycle and fell against the pavement, striking on his head. He was picked up unconscious. Jt is believed that his injuries are confiti ed to his head, but the extent of these is unknown. It is feared that there may be a serious concussion of i'ie brain. Because of alleged faulty assess ments in several townships, the valua tions of Shawnee county realty shows a depreciation of more than a quarter of a million dollars in the territory out side the city of Topeka. Only Topeka's remarkable gain of more tnan tno jhu a half million, leaves tne county creditable showing. Tn WilliamsDort township aions there is a shortage in real estate val uations of more than a half minion dollars as comDared with the 1910 re turns. Three other townships snow losses and the gains in other town ships fail to offset this loss by nearly $275,000. Xot until the valuations are adlnsted bv the board of review tM: week will the real conditions be shown and the actual increases in property values be shown. Fmm March 1910. until March, l'.'i.., Topeka citv showed a gain in rea.ty values of $2,582,785. Yet the county as a whole showed a gain of but $2,309,980. This left $277,905 to be taken from the showing of Tcpeka city. The trouble occurred when Auburn, Monmouta, Soldier and Williamsport townships re ported with shocking losses in valua tion. In these rour townsnips there was a decrease of $643,490 over the figures returned in 1910 and the gains made. in other townships lacked 921 t.- 905 of an amount equal to the showing of two years ago. In other words tht seven remaining townships made a gain in valuation of $365,58S, but their gains failed by more than a quar ter of a million in reaching the 19ii record. These figures have caused sorrow and distress to the county commis sioners, who have been sitting for a week as a board of review. They must now shake up the returns from the- several townships and adjust the land valuations in a way that will show some form of consistency. j The valuations in Topeka will prob ably stand without a change. Much of j the 'city's gain was due to Topeka, township's loss when the city annexed new territory. Yet in the face of these conditions, Topeka township showed a consistent gain. Bis IjOss in Williamsport. Williamsport township will be one of j the localities slated for a raise. Two years ago the board lowered the town shir's assessment and this year the re turns lowered the 1910 estimates of the rr-ard. So the harmonious feeling whicn exists between Assessor Pratt of Wil liamsport and members of the county beard is nothing to be proud of. Wil liamsport shows a loss in realty values in two years of just $518,405, or a loss of 33 per cent. Its report i.. 1910 of a valuation of $1,532,485 was this year hammered down to $1,014,080. Auburn township dropped from" $1, 256.000 in 1910 to $1,196,040 this year a loss of $59,960. In 1910 Monmouth township showed a valuation on realty of $1,540,725. This year it is but $1,503,490 a loss of $37, 235. Real estate in Soldier township was assessed on a valuation of $3,187,040 :n 1910. The 1912 valuation is reported at $3,159,150. This is a loss of $27,890. Real Value Is Greater. The real estate valuations are taken every two years under the Kansas law. It is argued that the value of the land in the county is, if anything, greater than two years ago. Hence, when the assessors went to the courthouse with figures that showed the farming dis trict had taken a slump, there was much sorrow. Now the board will try to adjust the trouble. According to the returns now filed. the valuation of Shawnee county realty in 191Q was $51,457,275, as against $53,- fei.ino this year. Topeka citv realtv Is this year shown at $32,751,250, as agauist a valuation of $30,268,465 in 910. 1 Children Cry for Fletcher's The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature I and has been made under his ner- rfSSVfc' sonal supervision since its infancy.

Eminent Physician Severly Ar raigns 20th Century Life. MANY PEOPLE FFECTED Public Does No Realize Symp toms of Ailment. New Tonic Being Introduced to Combat Nervous Debility. "The artificial environment of the city is killing us," said an eminent physician in an address to the South ern Indiana Teachers' Association, in tne new. Hygiene at Indianapolis re cently. "There is no doubt about it," continued the physician. "The world is slowly going mad. .If the denizens of the earth do not reverse utterly their mode of living within 250 years we will all be lunatics. Before he finished many of the teachers, particularly women, left the hall too nervous to hear the final shafts of his arraignment of life as it is lived in the twentieth century. The physician is undoubtedly cor rect," said one of the specialists who is introducing "Tona Vita," the re markable new tonic, recently. "The strain and excitement of metropoli tan life is entirely too much for the constitution of the average person," continued the specialist, '"and a most distressing condition in all large cities like Topeka results. The unnatural methods of living, which produces this artificial environment, dispos sesses the organic body of its char acteristic properties, completely un dermines the health and are directly responsible for that modern malady which is known to us as nervous, de bility. "Comparatively few realize what a tremendous number of people among those who live in the larger cities are afflicted with nervous debility in a more or less aggravated form. Nor does the public realize the symptoms of this- disease when they see them. Most of the so-called kidney trouble, nearly all indigestion and fully half of the headaches in Topeka can be attributed solely to nervous debility. "We are introducing for the first time in this country a preparation that will positively remove this condi tion. 'Tona Vita' will repair all or ganic weaknesses, whether man or woman, and build up and restore the body to a healthy, normal condition within an astonishingly short space of time. The value of Tona Vita' is being satisfactorily demonstrated in all of the big cities of the country today. There is no better evidence of merit then that which shown by the testimony of those who have actually tested a medicine and we are receiv ing Just cuch evidence from score of people who have found "Tona Vita' as represented.".

Sweet, general manager of the Rock Island Lines in Topeka, is in St. Louis on company business. There 'are several: automobiles in the city which are being, run around without a number attached.. The weekly public concert given by Marshall's band will be held in Gar field park this week on Friday evening. A large delegation of Topeka Chris tian Endeavor members left today for the annual state convention at Hutch inson. Large pineapples from the Isle of Pines are now being sold in Topeka. Florida pineapples will begin to come in next week. The dandelions in the state house grounds are receiving their second dose of gasoline, the first not being fatal to all the plants. The Eagle Rose Tints will play the Rossville ball team at Rossville Satur day and the Osage City team at Osage City on Sunday. The camp of the Central Y. M. C. A. at Maple Hill, which was nlanned for June, will not be held until later in tne season. The citizens of Meriden are planning a big Fourth of July celebration. A committee has been appointed to se cure suitable attractions. Texas peaches are now on the local market, but they are selling at 7 5 cents for a basket which contains about a quarter of a peck! The Topeka .Rebate association will return the railroad fare of those who purchase goods while in Topeka to at tend the State fair next fall. There is now an unusually good supply of excellent locally grown vege tables on the market. New cabbages have already made their appearance. "The mission of the Kansas state fair is to encourage better agriculture, horticulture, stock raising and manu facturing," was a recent statement of Secretary H. L. Cook- The management of the Kansas State Fair association will be glad to mail a premium list to any woman in- terestea in tne textile or art depart ments. A meeting of the executive com mittee of the Topeka Local union will be held at the .home -of the pres ident, Gilbert Fenton, Wednesday evening. The first few days of June have av eraged many degrees below the norma! heat but no one was kicking about it. What's the reason for this hot weather again? A soaking rain is reported to have occurred in northwestern Kansas in the past 24 hours, but there has been very little precipitation in the rest of the state. Plans for the addition to the Potwin school and the new Quinton Heights scnooi Duiiaing win De discussed at a Epecial meeting of the'poard of educa tion Wednesday night." "No news today,", said Mayor iiil- lard. "After our strenuous, dog ordi nance squall I feel that we are enti tled to a litttle rest. s The calm after the storm, you know.'; H. Clarkson called: a meetine- for tnis noon at tne Commercial club. The Commercial club is a popular piace ior meetings which do not per tain to the work of the club. The Commercial club still has on hand a large number of lists of "To peka made" goods which should be of interest to every housewife in the city. They may be had for the asking. Several autoists seem to think that Kansas avenue is a speedway for them after the traffic is off the street. One machine went down the avenue last "How did the Bird know It is neither fair to you nor to us to overlook the many advantages gained by purchasing here! "Two Souls with but a single thought.' Yours to wear good clothes. Ours to sell them. We do the very best, in fact. And for every occasion, whether for business outing for weddings or graduation. Superior tailoring choicest fabrics and colorings9 favored models moderate prices. These are the qualities that make Felix clothes worthy. Shirts Ties and all the "fix ins" that go with them. 629-631 Kansas Avenue night about 11 o'clock so fast that he would have done, credit- to an auto race. Two thousand entry blanks" have been sent out to the horsemen by the Kansas State Fair association in the past day or two. The entries for the horse races will close July 1. A year ago there was much talk about a "sane" July 4. Where are the advocates of a sane Fourth for 1912? -The youngsters would like to enjoy the old fashioned sort of a cele bration The Mitchell lecture Monday night was marred somewhat by a number of people getting up and leaving in the most interesting part, of the speech. This is one of the faults of a Topeka audience. There is considerable talk around the city hall about introducing aft ordi nance which would provide for the txing of cats. "Why shouldn't cats be taxed as much as dogs," said one man interested. Gage park should be filled to the gates Sunday. The 'two Walker alli gators will arrive tomorrow direct from their late home in Florida. And the two baby buffaloes are ready to re ceive company. Secretary H. L. Cook, who spent the greater part of last week in northeast ern Kansas, must have become be mired since the recent storm. At least he hasn't been heard from. He went out on the trip in his auto. The rooms of the Commercial club are in the process of being redecor ated. It is time that the work was done, as the rooms have been a dis grace for some months. The owners of the building have been slow about taking any action. The first real hot day when a base ball game is in progress on the West ern League grounds, the management of the Kansas State Fair association will distribute Jananese fans among the fans. This tfnould make a "hit with the lovers of the national pastime. For the benefit of the public the street railway company should publish a new street car schedule designating the routes of cars and the services. Since the many ehanges in the west end service hundreds of patrons have been puzzled. Within a short time the new Edison Co.'s reinforced concrete stack, which will be 250 feet in height, will be up so high that the progress will be notlcfe able by those who i-ass along the streets. Nearly 50 feet of construction work has been completed. Topeka housewives are indignant. The ice companies have decreed ihat their wagons shall travel only on the streets not in the alleys. This means that the women have to blotch their front porches with "nasty old signs." They don't like it a bit. The' Rev. H. L. Nelson will be the recipient of a handsome Oxford Bible from the members of the Business Men's Bible class of"the Central Y. M. C. A. which has closed its work for the season. Rev. Mr. Nelson was the instructor of the class. Currents are selling in the local gro cery stores at about $2.75 a crate. They are the local product. The cher ry season is now at its height, and the fruit is selling at $1.75 a crate. Those who are in a position to know say that the crop will not last much longer. One of the big features of the Kan sas State fair next fall will be the machinery exhibits. There were ma chines on the grounds last fall in great variety, but indications are that the exhibit will be even more extensive next fall.. There will be many ma chines in actual operation on the grounds. ...Papers over the state have begun to give the state fair at Topeka good publicity. The Corning Gazette has this to- say: "There are exhibits to interest all. classes of people, and it is well worth anyone's time and money to attend the fair. The fair this year is expected to be better than in any previous year." After August 1, there will be but six members of the board of education. This will neart that the remaining members --will have 'a good deal of ex tra work to do that was not thrust upon their shoulders this year. The old board will have just one more reg ular meeting the first Monday evening in July. Between 60 and 75 members of the Karnival Knights organization were present at the meeting of the club Monday night in the rooms of the Commercial club, when the members who had their clothes stolen while the minstrel show was in progress, were reimbursed for their losses at the rate of 50 cents on the dollar, i It is expected nowadays that as soon as school is over the teachers will be gin at once to "brush up" in readiness to do better work the next school sea son. There is much more required of a teacher than formerly. Some of the local teachers have been complaining recently because they claim they do not have a chance to take a needed est. The- supervised play .at the parks and other playgrounds under the directii.n of W. Lw Driver, is becoming more and more popular among the youngsters of the city. An entertainment will be given July 4, which will show the re sults of the work A baseball league has been formed by the older boys, and the players are having great sport. The Karnival Knights are not quite decided whether or not to hold a pa rade next fall. The stealing of the clothes of a number of the members while the minstrel show was In prog ress last spring, put a damper on the enthusiasm of the members. At any rate the funds were exhausted when Monday night the members were par tially reimbursed for their losses. The Provident association is having a house warming today. The general public was invited to inspect the quar ters of the association from 2 until 9 o'clock. Many improvements have re cently been made, and the manage ment desires to liave the people know what the association is doing. Miss Mary Vose is in charge of the work this summer. Secretary Guy T. Justis has left for Chicago. The committee which w.ill have as its object the procuring of larger quarters for the Commercial club has not been appointed by Secretary J. Will Kelley. However, the present rooms are not adequate to meet the needs of the organization, and a committee- will be appointed at a later date for the purpose mentioned. When the club is in its new home there will be special office rooms provided for the Topeka Traffic bu reau. "There are many classes of industries that can do business in Topeka suc cessfully," said Secretary J. Will Kelley of the Commercial club in speaking of the plan for aiding indus trial institutions in the city. "There is an especially good opportunity In Topeka for manufacturers of farm ma chinery, and of goods that would have a ready market' in this section of ter ritory. In my judgment we'll have in the next few years a good industrial city."- Early this morning a crowd of about thirty peoplj were waiting at Eighth and Kansas avenues for a special car to come from the street car barns to ALWAYS SHOWING-SOMETHING NEW Just Received Some Very Attractive Dresses in orasn Linen ana Pique 0 Specially Priced at S:L.9S and The Crash Linen Dresses are made in a perfectly plain-tailored style with splendid lines and high-class workmanship.

However, you can soon reduce them if you use an almozoin cream jelly, the recipe for which I give: Put 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine in H pint cold water, then add 1 ounce almozoin. When thoroughly dissolved it is ready to use. This almozoin cream-jelly should be ap plied plentifully and rubbed in well. After using the cream-jelly a while you will tind pimples and blackheads will have vanish ed and the skin once rough, oily and blotchy will be of a velvety softness, clear and beautiful. The almozoin cream-jelly is unfailing in protecting the skin from freckles, tan and sunburn. A. G. B.: Dieting is a cruel method of flesh reduction and a needless torture, be cause with a parnotis solution, made by dissolvine 4 ounces parnotis in 1H pints hot water,' you can reduce your weight without suffering or inconvenience. Tak ing a tablespoonful before each meal gently and gradually dissolves the fatty tissues without possible injury, and when your weight- is where you want it, the flesh will be firm and the skin free from wrinkles. D. O.: Those troublesome hairs can be made to disappear like magic by apply ing a paste made with powdered delatone and water. After 2 or 3 minutes it should be removed and the skin' washed, when it will be found that the hairs have com pletely vanished. No pain or discolora tion of the skin follows the use of dela tone. i Mrs. Max: Long, curly lashes add much to the expression of the eyes.

Dissolve a teaspoonful canthrox in a cup of hot water, then rub a little at a time on the scalp. You will be surprised on how quickly It entirely dissolve every atom of dust, dandruff and excess oil. After rinsing, the acalp will be clean and pliant, and the hair will dry ever bo quickly, with a rich sheen, and be soft, fluffy and easy to arrange. Anna G. You cannot expect to have a smooth, clear skin and youthful com plexion if you persist in the use of powder because the dust-like particles clog lno pores and cause a rough, pimply, blotchy and oily condition of the skin. Discard powder and try this inexpensive spurmax lotion and you will be delightfully sur prised with the result: Dissolve '4 ounces spurmax in H pint witch hazel (or hot water) and add 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. Apply this, sparingly to the skin and rub lightly until dry. The apurmax lotion im parts a velvety smoothness and exquisite tint to the skin and rids it of impurities and unnatural conditions. It is especially nice for hot weather use, as it does not spot nor streak from perspiration and is Invisible when on. Rena W.

By the Court. Smith, J. 1. Where, in the trial for an alleged fel ony, a witness is called by the state who has testified about the same facts at the preliminary examination, and the defense produces and offers in evidence a tran script of the court stenographer's notes taken at the preliminary examination, claiming a material -variance, such tran script should usually be admitted In evi dence. 2. Where In suoh case, however, on cross examination the questions and an swers have been read to the witness, from the' transcript, in the presencce of the court and jury and the witness has been interrogated in reference thereto and he has admitted, explained or denied the statements therein claimed to be at var iance with his testimony in court, no pre judice can result to the defendant from the refusal to the defendant to allow Buch transcript to be re-read. 3. On the trial of one charged with a felony the defense produced evidence tending to establish an alibi and the state produced evidence tending to prove that shortly prior to the commission of the crime the defendant and others planned and conspired the commission thereof. In such case it was not error for the court, after calling attention to such evidence, to further Instruct the Jury that if they believed beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant and others had entered into an agreement or conspiracy to do the criminal acts charged and that some one or more of those participating in the con spiracy did actually oommit the actsi charged, then it would make no difference whether the defendant was personally present or not; that each such con spirator would be equally guilty whether or not he was present at the commission of the criminal act All the Justices concurring.

Syllabus. By the Court. Porter, 3. 1. Article 13, chapter 25, General Stat utes of 1909, creating the office of county auditor in certain counties and conferring upon the district court the power of ap pointing a suitable person to such office is a valid exercise of legislative authority. 2. The legislature often uses the words "court" and "judge," "district court" and "district judge," without discrimination. "Court" will be construed to mean "Judge" and "judge" will be construed to mean "court" wherever either construc tion is necessary to carry into effect the obvious intent of the legislature. It is held, therefore, that by the words "dis trict court," as used in section one of the act in question (Gen. Stat. 1909, sec. 2282) the legislature meant to confer upon the judge of the district court in certain counties authority to appoint a county auditor. 3. Under the statute as amended by section one, chapter 67, Laws of 1876, and subsequent amendments thereto, con firmation by the board of county commis sioners of the appointment of a county auditor is not necessary. 4. Where the district court consists of two or more divisions the appointment of a county auditor, in order to be valid, must be made by the judges of the divi sions, or a majority thereof acting jointly.

Brewster, a Minor, Appellant vs. 1'he Missouri Pacific Railway Company, A Corporation, Appellee. Appeal from Chautauqua County. REVERSED. Syllabus. By the Court. Smith, J. 1. In making a statement of the case or of the defense and of the evidence ex pected to be produced at the commence ment of the trial of a civil action in ac cordance with section 285 of the coda, either party may make his statement as full and complete as he desires or may omit to make any statement at his dis cretion. 2. Such statements when made are not pleadings within the purview of article S of the code and are not vulnerable to at tack by demurrer. 3. After the parties to a civil action have, in proper time, by their pleadings framed issues of fact to be tried, it is not good practice to allow one party at the trial, without at least withdrawing Ma pleading, to orally demur to the suf ficiency of the pleading of the other party, and thus discard the issues of fact and raise new Issues of law.

The rule that a penal statute .will not be enforced outside the territorial jurisdiction of the legislature enacting It, applies only to such statutes as are entire ly penal, their sole purpose being to in flict punishment for the violation of a law. for the public benefit, and not to those which are in part compensatory, the violator being required to make good to an individual a possible loss having some connection with his default. 2. A statute requiring a corporation to file an annual statement showing it3 financial condition, and making its of ficers individually liable for Its debts in case of default, is not purely penal. 3. The enforceability of such a statute In another state Is not affected by the fact that the courts of the state enacting It have characterized it as penal in con nection with the rule of strict construc tion and with the applicatin of a statute of limitations upon actions to recover a penalty.

Albert Sarbach was grand treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Masons. He kept an account with a bank as grand treas urer. In payment of a personal debt he owed to her he gave defendant a check signed by him as "Grand Treas." Without any Inquiry of the bank she presented it for payment and received the money. The officers of the bank could have informed her that Sarbach was grand treasurer and that the check would be paid out of his account as treasurer. In an action by the grand lodge to recover the money the defendant answered that subsequent to the payment of the check Sarbach had ac counted to the grand lodge for all sums due from him as treasurer. Held, (1) that the burden was upon defendant to show that the grand lodge was reimbursed: (2) that it is no defense to the action to show that defendant had reasonable grounds for believing that the Check was payable out of moneys belonging to Sarbach person ally; (3) that, the words "Grand Treas.," following the signature to the check, were sufficient to put her upon inquiry as to the ownership of the fund out of which it was payable. 2.

The will directs the trustees to report to a circuit court of Illinois and purports to give that court control over the execution of the trusts except those providing for the division of lands in Kansas. None of the property Is situated in Illinois. Ono of the trustees, a benificiary in the trust, died before the death of the testator. The plaintiffs, the surviving trustees, are also beneficiaries. It is alleged that complica tions have arisen and that grave doubts exist as to -the duty of the trustees, and that they fear a multiplicity of suits. The trustees are also executors and are pro ceeding in that capacity also. It is held: (1) that a non-resident defendant who is a son of the testator and a beneficiary in the trust was properly served by publica tion; (2) that the district court has Juris diction of the subject of the action; anl (3) that the petition states a cause of ac tion, which should be made more definite and certain by amendment.

A traveler on a public street at a busy crossing is not necessarily negligent as a matter of law because lie fails to look in a direction from which harm comes when he has time and opportunity to do so. He is only held to the exercise of reasonable prudence under all the cir cumstances and this may frequently be a question for the jury. 2. The failure of a pedestrian on a pub lic street to take some particular precau tion for his safety, as, for example, to look across the end of a standing street car for vehicles approaching from the other side of the car, before passing be yond its fender, does not constitute con tributory negligence unless it contributed to his injury. 3. Under' the facts stated In the opin ion it is held that findings of the jury that the plaintiff, who was hurrying to catch a street car, was In the exercise of due care and could not have avoided a collision with a motorcycle although he could have seen it coming if he had looked, are sustained by the law and the evidence.

The school house on the site of the old town of Blakeman, In Rawlins county has been torn down, and will be built on some other location. This school house was the last building to be torn away on the site of this once prosperous end healthy town. Started by the Burlington road and the Lincoln, Neb. land company to pull the county seat away from Atwood and set it down In Blakeman it failed in its purpose. In 1887 and 1888 the fight waxed hot. Several Atwood business men moved their town, which was only about half a dozen miles away. At one time In the fipht it looked if blood would be shed before, but cooler heads averted trouble. The fight was taken into the courts, and the su preme court decided favorable to At wood. The Lincoln land company built this school house at a cost of about $10, 000. Brick was used in its construc tion. It was a two story building, and stood on an elevation which overlook ed the famous Beaver creek valley. The town site of Blakeman which had a population of several hundred in its best days, is now an alfalfa field, with here and there a hole in the Bround where a building stood. The stayers In Atwood made a heroic fight, and many of them remain here. KANSAS GOSSIP. Notes Held to Be Worthless. Hays City, Kan., June 11.
