The Demo cratic national convention was again in session this afternoon trying to break the deadlock on the" nomination of a presidential candidate. Imme diately after convening the thirteenth ballot was taken. It seemed to be generally accepted that a choice under the two-thirds rule, was a long way off. It was reported Chairman James during the night, from the platform, advocated the abrogation of this rule. Senator Lea, floor leader of the pro gressives, asserted that a nomination would mean nothing unless made by two-thirds of the delegates and that It would require a two-thirds vote to purpehd the rules to permit a majority nomination. Chairman James, when asked about the report, said he had talked along the line indicated but that he felt sure a nomination would be given to Clark In view of the majority vote received by him. He said that if Wilson or any other man should at some time re ceive a majority and fail of nomina tion then it might be necessary to change the rules and that the conven tion had the power to do so. Under the guise of explaining a change of vote in the Nebraska delega tion. W. J. Bryan got another hearing in the Democratic national convention and again threw the delegates and spectators into a disorderly uproar. Bryan, who under primary instruction had been voting for Champ Clark, an nounced that he would not vote for him again while New York was in cluded in the Clark column. He changed his vote to Woodrow Wilson, but defiantly declared he would change ag.-.ia 11 Mr. Murphy and "the Ryan-Belmnr.t-Morgan" crowd should vote for Wilson. Bryan was assailed from the floor by many delegates who demanded that his speech be stopped and by others who demanded to know if he would support the nominee. Bryan said he "expected" to do so. but he also ex pected the convention to nominate a man without the suppori "of the In terests." Bryan Calls for a Poll. During the progress of the fourteenth roll call the most exciting feature of the day was enacted. When Nebraska was reached Bryan demanded a poll of the delegation. His vae the first name called. "I ask for an opportunity to explain ir.y vote," said Bryan amid a tumult of disorder. "Vote" shouted the delegates. Bryan standing on his chair with one hand resting on the Nebraska standard gaz?d over the crowd. He swung a big palm leaf fan as the tumult continued. "For what purpose does the gentle man rise?" demanded Sulzer from the ebair. "As long began Bryan and a wave of noise overwhelmed him. Senator Stone, of Missouri, made an effort to secure unanimous consent that Bryan be allowed to make a statement. mi WITH THE DEMOCRATS AT BALTIMORE. At the Top, Left to Right, Senator Gore, E. S. Johnson, Joseph E. Davies; at the Bottom, J. R. Smith and Clark Howell. Victor M. Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, has played a prominent part in the Democratic pow-wow at Baltimore. He is a thor oughgoing progressive. E. S. Johnson and Joseph E. Davies are Demo cratic national committeemen from South Dakota and Wisconsin, re spectively. J. R. Smith and Clark Howell are two leading Georgia Demo crats. The former was Gov. Joe Brown's campaign manager twice; the latter is national committeeman from his state and editor of the At lanta Constitution one of the most influential journals in the south.

Bryan made his way to the platform through the sweating mob in the aisles. A round of cheers greeted him as ne took the platform. Bryan read from a prepared state ment. He said Nebraska had always been a progressive state. In this con vention, he said, the progressive senti ment .was overwhelming and no can didate would have a chance if known not to be progressive. The resolution adopted against any candidate sub servient to Morgan, Ryan and Belmont showed the desires of the convention, Mr. Bryan said. The vo .e of New York represented the wishes of one man, Charles F. Murphy, declared Bryan, anil he represented the same Interests that sought to dominate the cnlcago convention. He and Ms as sociates of the Nebraska delegation, he said, were unwilling to accept the name of any man who was receiving the benefit of Mr. Murphy's leadership. Shonts of approval constantly inter rupted Bryan with occasional parlia mentary protests, but he pushed on. 5AT-8 "I shall not be a party." declared Mr. Bryan, "to the nomination of any man who will not be absolutely free to carry out the anti-Morgan. Ryan. Bel mont resolution and make his admin istration reflect government of, for and by the people. I shall withhold my vote from Mr. lark as long as New York votes for him." Governor MeCorkle .of West Vir ginia Interrupted to ask: "If the nomination of a Democrat candidate Is made with the vote of New York, will you then- support the candidate?" As Bryan began to answer a dele gate shouted, "Are you a Democrat?" This nettled the Commoner and he shouted "If that man will give me his name I will record It beside that of Messrs, Morgan. Belmont and Ryan." Answering MeCorkle, Mr. Bryan-1 said It was a different thing to op-' pose a man in convention and oppoan ill a. 148 141 140 136 141 121 129 130 127 31 29 29 29 29 29 117 111 114 112 119 135 1 23 123 1 2 2 117 118 123 115 113 110 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 30 30 30 30 30 2 2 14 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 him after a convention. Nothing he said would justify the supposition that he would not support the nomi nee. "Would you support Clark, Wilson, Harmon, Underwood, Marshall, Kern or Foss if one of them received a two thirds vote of this convention, includ ing the vote of New York?" asked Governor Brewer of Mississippi. "I deny the right of the gentleman to ask such a hypothetical question unless he puts into the question every material and relative element of the issue." Knox of Alabama was on his chair shouting protests against the arbitrary continuance of the Bryan speech. "Officers will seat that man," was shouted from the platform. As Knox vehemently shook his fist and contin ued his protest pandemonium reigned on the floor and in the galleries. Add ing to the confusion the police ejected an intruder who was mistaken by the crowd for a delegate. Waves of al ternate protests and approval fairly shook the building while Bryan still stood amid the storm motioning for quiet that he might proceed. "I expect to support the nominee of this convention," said Mr. Bryan. "I do not expect any man to be nominated here who would permit a partnership between Morgan, Ryan and Belmont and himself. But I am not called upon to give a bond to meet an issue before the conditions surrounding it are defi nitely formed." "Having' explained my position," said Bryan, "I now announce my vote for Another roar from the floor inter rupted him and former Governor Me Corkle, of West Virginia, secured the floor to ask Bryan a question. '"Does the gentleman mean that he will not support the nominee of this con tention if he Is nominated by the present' votes of the New York delega tion Bryan asserted his willingness to re ply. "This is," said Mr. Bryan, "a Demo cratic convention and we have a right to ask questions of each other and be frank. Hypocrisy has been certified to by 6,500,000 Democratis and I ask the secretary to enter a dissenting vote if he will give me his name, and I will put It beside the name of Belmont and others who were not Democrats when I was a Democrat." Bryan then returned to the question of Governor MeCorkle, "Nothing that I have said, here this morning would give any grounds for the conclusion." Mnch Feeling Asralnst Bryan. Bryan was pale and haggard as he stood on the platform facing the tu muli he had created on the floor. He swayed back and forth and from time to tim mopped the perspiration from his forehead. With one hand he held the iron railing in front of him and with the other nervously wielded a big palm leaf fan. When he .poke he had a defiant glare in his eyes. His voice was husky. Occasionally he would let go his hold of the railing to shake a wan-ing finger at the delegates. Bryan held the stage for nearly an hour. It was thought to be his last stand before the convention but he de clared that if the right man was nom inated he would introduce a resolution authorizing the candidate to appoint his campaign committee and not be handicapped by a national committee on which "the interests" were repre sented. Bryan's sensational move interrupt ed the fourteenth ballot. It created much feeling and seemed in the opin ion of the leaders to dispose of the Nebraskan as a possible candidate. The antagonism to him was intense. Bryan made his way back to the Ne braska section having thus added an other sensation to the proceedings. Bryan soon was involved again in a heated controversy as a question waa raised as to each Nebraska delegate choosing his own alternate. Amid the confusion Mr. Bryan on a chair could be faintly heard declaring that if New York and Virginia main tained their sovereign rights concern ing such delegates as sat with them (referring to Belmont and Ryan) Ne braska maintained her right to select her delegates and alternates in her cwn way.

Since 1868, w.hen it required twenty-two ballots to select a Democratic nominee for president, there has nev er been a deadlock to equal the situa tion at Baltimore. In 1896, Bryan, who, previous to the convention, was not regarded as a candidate, received the nomination after five ballots had been taken. Since then it has requir ed only one ballot to name the Demo cratic choice. Prior to 1868 deadlocks were the rule rather than the exception. As early as 1844, the second Democratic convention in history, the delegates failed to agree without a prolonged wrangle, finally naming James K. Polk of Tennessee on the ninth ballot. It required 4 9 ballots to select Frank lin Pierce of New Hampshire from the presidential aspirants who swarmed the convention of 1852 at Baltimore. Seventeen ballots were taken before James Buchanan was named by the Democratic convention at Philadel phia in 1856. The longest deadlock In history oc curred in the Democratic national convention at Charleston, South Caro lina, in 18 60. The first ballot gave the candidates the following standing: Douglas, 145; Hunter, 42; Guthrie, 45; Johnson, 12; Dickinson, 7; Lane, 6; Jefferson Davis, 1; Toucey, 1; Pierce, 1. When the fifty-seventh ballot was reached Douglas had 151; Guthrie, 65; Hunter, 16; Lane, 14; Dickinson, 4; Davis, 1. The convention adjourn ed to meet later in Baltimore, where Douglas was nominated on the first ballot. An anti-Douglas convention met in Baltimore and nominated Breckenridge without opposition. Asks Wilson to Withdraw. Seagirt, June 29. Gov. Wilson an nounced through his secretary he would make no reply to Senator Store's telegram urging him to with draw in favor of Clark. Stone Tries Underwood. Washington, June 29. Representa tive Underwood received Senator W. J. Stone's telegram urging him to withdraw in favor of Champ Clark. No answer will be sent. Underwood declined to discuss the telegram or any action he might take. CONTINUE HOUSE CASE Governor's Attempt to Make Him Ten Is Again Postponed. The Jay E. House habeas corpus proceedings in Judge Dana's court was today continued until the September term of the district court by a stipu lation filed by attorneys in the case. The proceedings in the district court resulted from the refusal of the news paper man to testify in a liquor in quisition before a Shawnee county justice of the peace. It was when the thermometer regis tered 20 below zero that House Btood pat and refused to testify as to the place he "bought beer over a bar." All of Justice McAfee's persistent urg ing didn t feaze House in the least and he was ordered committed to the county jail. Then habeas corpus pro ceedings were filed and this case was never heard. Many weeks have pass ed and the end of the alleged investi gation is not In sight. Neither has House suffered a change of heart and offered his testimony. The stipulation filed with the clerk of the district court, was signed by John S. Dawson, attorney general; and by Charles Blood Smith, who repre sented House. York, a Possible Dark Horse. BULLETINS. Chairman James called the eonven. tion to order at 1 :06 p. m. No break developed on the thir teenth ballot. Governor Foss of Massachusetts made liis appearance with two votes from Ohio. The thirteenth ballot, concluded at 1:40 p. m., found the Democratic con vention still deadlocked. The leading candidates stood:. Clark 554)4; Wil son 356, as again 549 for Clark and 354 for Wilson on the twelfth ballot. Bryan took the platform amid wild cheers as roll call closed. After whispered -conference with Chairman James, Bryan left the plat form waving to the crowd an ac knowledgment of their greeting. Nebraska asks to be polled during the fourteenth ballot. Bryan rose In his chair as poll of state was ordered. He was Interrupt ed with "Vote, vote" as h? asked to explain his vote. Bryan said: "As long as New York's votes are cast for Clark I withhold my vote from him." The convention was In an uproar. Bryan voted for Wilson. Oklahoma vote was challenged and a poll was ordered. On the fourteenth ballot the lead ers stood: Clark 550, Wilson 362, as against 551 for Clark and 356 for Wilson on the thirteenth. When the Oklahoma poll was taken delegates from that state demanded the same right accorded to Mr. Bryan to explain. This precipitated another controversy. Mr. Bryan apepaled for fair play, tue Oklahoma delegates at last being heard from the platform. BASEBALL TODAY. First Game. Wichita, Kan., June 29.

Foss of Massachusetts Is Giren Two Votes. BRYAN CAUSES A STIR Goes to Platform to Confer With Chairman. Cheered by Delegates From Time He Leaves Seat. Baltimore, June 29. The conven tion hall was again the center of In tense animation and expectancy as the hour for resuming the balloting drew near. The crush was not so great as on previous days. This was attributed to the intense heat and the fact that thousands of seatholders had remained in the hall until adjournment this morning and were tired out. "Look out for- something on the next roll call," was the word that passed around at coming from the Ne braska delegation. Mingled in the varying reports rtl that which has been circulating con stantly that New York's ninety vote would before long be cast for Oscar W. Underwood. Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mis sissippi delegates were unusually act ive on the floor before the gavel fell, spreading the Underwood boom. Chairman James called the conven tion to order at 1:06. The chaplain, the Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, then said the prayer. The hall w"as-ln confusion with dele gates crowding into the aisles. Order was finally secured at 1:15 and for the thirteenth time the clerk began the calling of the roll. Gossip about the floor was that the popular prejudice against the thir teenth roll call would prevept any material change in the vote on that ballot. Roll Call Benin. It also was said that the "unlucky Friday" superstition last night pre vented shifts that might have made a nomination possible. The roll call be gan with the same monotonous repe tition that marked last night's voting. The rumored shift In the vote of Ne braska did not Tnaterialize. the record remaining Clark 13; Wilson 3. There had .been some question about New York on the 13th, but Charles E. Murphy made his usual announcement of 90 for Clark. Wilson took one from Underwood in North Carolina and two from Clark In Ohio. The result of the 13th ballot was: Clark 554; Wilson 356: Underwood 11-6H: Harmon 29; Marshall 30; Foss 2, Bryan 1. This showed a gain of 5 for Clark. Wilson gained 2M and Underwood lost 7H. Fobs was put on the roll with two votes. Kern received no votes and Bryan was given one. Be fore the result of the 13th ballot was enounced Bryan appeared on the plat form. He talked to Chairman James for a moment and then resumed his seat In the Nebraska section. A cheer swept the hall from the time he left his seat until he returned to It. At 1:40 the roll call was begun for the 14th time. During the 14th bal lot. Chairman James surrendered the gavel to Wm. Sulaer of New York, and went to the floor. He conferred with Senator Ston of the Clark forces and then hurrie 1 about visiting the delegations. MAY BREAK A RECORD. Candidate With a Majority Always Has Been Nominated Before. Baltimore, June 29. Twelve bal lots for president had been taken with out a choice when the Democratic na tional convention re-assembled after the early morning adjournment to go on with the voting. Unless the conferences which pre ceded the afternoon session should prove to have been more productive of results than those which had gone he fore, the existing deadlock may be Indefinitely prolonged, causing the convention to remain In session over another week. But the delegates are nearly worn out and they are anxious to go home. In this fact lay the hope that the predicted break might occur early enough today to permit a nom ination for president to be mac with sufficient time left to name a vice president and adopt the platform be fore midnight. Never in the history of the Demo cratic party has a candidate for pres ident under the two-thirds rule who has received a majority of votes in the convention been denied the nomina tion. Champ Clark received a major ity on the tenth ballot last night when New York's solid ninety was thrown his way. Should he fall now to get the nomination, precedent will have been upset. It was expected before the reconven ing of the body that a crisis in the situation would be reached on the next two or three ballots. Leaders who profess to know have asserted that the speaker could not hold the New York vote much longer unless he should make substantial gains. Instead of going ahead, Mr. Clark has been slip ping back Inch by inch since the tenth ballot. Underwood was the next candidate it was reported, who would be given a chance at the New York vote, once Clark was abandoned. Wilson's friends maintained that eventually the tide of votes would turn In his favor and that the party would rally around the New Jersev governor as its stand ard bearer. The Wilson forces have held together well during all the bal loting. (Continued on Papa Tvo.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL JUNE 29, 1912 Oil THE LOOKOUT. (Continued from Page One.) There still exists the chance that a "dark horse" might break the dead lock. It appeared certain that any agreement between the Clark and Wilson managers was out of the ques tion, but it was doubtful whether these men could hold all their delegates once a break occurred. Little thought had been given to the vice presidency and the leaders felt that they could dispose of that ques tion in a very short time. The platform was expected to con sume very little of the conventions time. LOOK TO BRYAN. The Nebraskan Was Expected, to. Start Something Today. Baltimore, June 29. The uncertain situation over the naming of the pres idential ticket has given rise today to much speculation among the leaders as to what move will be made if any -w J Bryan, to break the deadlock, but in an interview today Mr. Bryan disclosed nothing. "Everybody says that vou are going to make a break, if so "will you tell us what it is, he was asked. "I have not thought It wise to issue bulletins." replied Mr. Bryan. "I find it better to make announce- mWelI. can you say that -you will make an announcement?" Whenever there is anything to be done, I will make ah announcement at the time when it Is to. be done, he reYou speak of purging the national committee when would that be d"I am not prepared to make, any statement as to the proper time," said Mr. Bryan. "Do you think nominations will be made today?" "I will not prophesy. "Will you give us your own private opinion in regard to the one presiden tial term?" "I can only say that beginning about 13 years ago when I tried to secure an amendment to the constitution. I have been an advocate of a single term and lu the three campaigns I announced that I would not, if elected, be a can didate for re-election." "And you have always been willing to accept one term?" "I would not want to put it that way. There are times when I would." "And you are still willing?" "We have not reached a point wher? that question is a pertinent one and I have not known a newspaper man who would be presumptuous enough to ask it." DEUX5ATES ARE WORN OUT. Were Slow in Arriving at Convention Hal!. Baltimore, June 29. Wearied with their second struggle lasting practically all night the leaders and main body of delegates were late in making their reappearance at the main centers of activity this morning and it was wel' toward noon before the work of con ference and caucus was in full swing. Early birds, which included Chairman James were again sanguine that a de cisive ballot would be reached today and that the convention would conclude its labors tonight. It was the general feeling that if Clark wins he must win quickly. A continued deadlock was the one thing which might destroy? the commanding lead he had already .-established. The problem before th Clark forces waj twofold, first to hold their present strength intact and second to add 1765s votes to his 549 shown on the twelfth ballot to give him the necessary two thirds majority. The first problem -was' not a menac ing one, but it had its difficulties. The 90 New York votes for Clark from the tenth to twelfth ballot were not re garded as dependable if the struggle was prolonged, as the New Yorkers still were feeling their way, ready to stand by Clark if his forces could show an ability to concentrate the field, but not to remain with him in definitely in a prolonged contest. Clark Forces Hold. Outside the New York acquisition the main body of Clark men were holding together well, although it -was said some of them who have formerly had strong Bryan affiliations might develop a ten dency to try Wilson if the contest was prolonged. These considerations led the Clark men to bend all their ener gies to finishing the contest quickly. The Underwood forces were regarded es playing an important part in the present critical stage of the balloting They were standing solidly, with no ev idence of wavering during the early hours. But their 123 votes on the twelfth ballot made them in a sense, the key to the Clark situation foi iwith them the Clark total would be augmented well along toward the neces sary two-thirds. At the Underwood headquarters, however, there was not thd.-slightest indication of directing the vote as a balance of power among the other candidates. The sole idea was to keep the Underwood force together In the belipf that it would gather strength from all quarters in case a break came from the candidates now in the lead. Something for Underwood. Reports are current that" If Under wood would step aside for Clark the Alabaman would be named for the speakership. Clark supporters would not say whether these reports had any basis but admitted that the Under wood people now held the key to the situation. Information was forthcom ing that one of the leaders of the movement for Mr. Underwood in one of the southern delegations vould urge that the time had come t- turn Mr. Underwood's vote over to Mr. Clark on he ground that the floor leader's chances were only slight at the best In the face of Mr. Bryan's opposition and that the logical nominee at this hour was SpeaV Clark. Whether the effort to swing .jie Underwood vote to Clark would be successful was a mat ter of grave doubt. There is authority for a statement bv a member of Tammac.- hall and concurred in by leaders of Speaker Clark's campaign that the New York vote never will go to Wilson and that Tammany hall would even, prefer Bryan to the New Jersey governor. Too Harmon strength, now reduced to 39 on the twelfth bal'.ot, also was looked upon as a possible acquisition to Clark, for w-hile the Ohio loyalty to Harmon is undoubted yet it was not expected to hold out indefinitely with the Harmon total rapidly falling off. One thing seemed to be generally conceded, that neither th Harmon or Underwood forces would go to Wilson. The Wilson strength appear to be con centrated in the progressive and rad ical elements already enlisted under his standard with prospects of eating into the more progressive branch of the Clark contingent if the latter be came restless with delay j New York Hurt Harmon. The statement of W. J. Bryan that 4 J N Xt IB Senator M ho la One of the Big the New York vote hurt Harmon's chances was d'soussed generally and it was urged By those opposing Speaker Clark that this might apply also to the Clark movement. National Committee man James Weatherly of Alabama, however, said: "This is the most unemotional con vention I have ever known. No candi date has a right to refuse New York's vote. The time for such transcendent alism has long passed." The prospect of a dark horse loomed up with increasing force in case the struggle was to be prolonged and the names of Kern and Gaynor were among those most mentioned. Thus far how ever there has been no organized move ment toward any of the men in the background. One of the reports of the morning was that a Clark and Gaynor ticket might be arranged. This was on the theory that Clark men could hold the 90 New York votes by conced ing to the New York delegation the naming of the vice president. On the delegation itself however there was little pronounced sentiment for Gaynor although it was not doubted the New Yorkers would feel honored in being accorded the second place on the ticket. Bankhead, of Alabama, chair man of the Underwood campaign com mittee, declared the Underwood forces would not go over to the Clark camp. "Why should we go to Clark?" asked Bandhead. "Our votes would not nomi nate Mr. Clark if we joined his forces. And I can say the same regarding Gov. Wilson's movement." W. J. Bryan slept late this morning end a card pinned on his door on which was written "Mr. Bryan is asleep. Please don't knock." turned away many visitors. Mr. Bryan declined to talk about probable nominations before he retired. VARDAMAN SAY'S ITS CLARK. Break in the Underwood Vote'Ts Ex pected. -Baltimore, June 2 9. "Mr. Clark will be the nominee of this convention He has received a majority of the votes cast and his defeat now would be outside of all precedent," said Senator-elect Vardaman of Mississippi, soon after arriving at Convention hall today. The Mississippi delegation is in- I structed for Underwood, but Varda- instructions had been sufficiently com plied with and confidently asserted there soon would be a change that would insure the acting of at least a majority of the vote of that delega tion of the Missourian. "You can quote me as saying that there will be an Increase in Mr. Clark's vote from Michigan," said Committeeman Wood of that state. "I think it will be about from 8 to 10; I have heard that Ohio will give 29 votes for Clark this afternoon." The delegates from North Carolina and from other southern states ex pressed similar views as to Mr. Clark's prospects. The fact that a majority of the convention has shown a prefer ence for him is having strong influtnee on many of the members and they said that unless exceptional ivasons can be Bhown against him they will add their j votes to his strength. Senator Bankhead of Alabama, Mr. Underwood's manager, would not con cede the growing popularity of the Clark boom, but on the other hand professed greater confidence in Mr. Underwood's chances than at any time since the convention began. He was confident that there would be a gen eral breaking up of alignments 3oon after the beginning of btUotlng today and that Alabama's candidate would become the beneficiary of the changed condition. Want Wilson to Come. Seagirt, June 29. Gov. Wilson was besieged throughout the day by dis patches from friends at Baltimore urg ing him to hurry to the convention. At 1:30 o'clock It was admitted at the Little White House that such a trip was under discussion but at that time if was said the governor was unde cided. Rumor had it that he might de part for Baltimore on a special train at any moment. PASSING OF WHISKERS There Are Few to Be Seen In Demo cratic Convention. Baltimore, June 29. Old conven tion goers declare that this is the most whiskerless convention that ever they have seen. It is remarked that with one or two notable exceptions, the men who are at the forefront of affairs here are bare of face. This is true of the leading candidates as well as of the men who have ap peared upon the platform to make speeches or preside over the conven tion. Senator Kern of Indiana' is the only one of the entire list of notables whose face is adorned with more than a mustache. The Indiana states man sports a carefully trimmed growth of chin whiskers that are turning gray. The counterfeit pre sentments of nearly all the candi dates which adorn the hotel lobbies and other places about the city ex hibit a paucity of whiskers indicat ing that the male of the species are I J Ik I zcxff 4 I 'I r r iv I 9 i 'I James O'Gorman.

The fact, however, that he was the only man in the crowd whose face was concealed behind a hedge of hair caused comment.

BY SARA. B. WORTS.' AS IT OFTEN IS. "Mabel, turn on the water. I want to take a bath."- "You want more waiting on than any one 1 know." "Pity you can't turn 'the" faucet, when you're right there! It'e not so mucn to ask." "Well, it's turned on." "One would think it had hurt you, to listen to you." "You never draw my bath I don't see wny 1 should yours." "Oh, keep still! I'll never ask you again. "I hope you won't. It's no great pleasure, I can assure you." "Neither is anything else that's done for my comfort." "As long as you got what you asked for, I think you'd better stop finding iauu. "Are there any bath towels in there? Last night there wasn't one. "I guess so. If there are none, call Norah. "Why can't you have the bathroom in order? 1 have just this monkey-and-parrot time every night when I'm ready to take my bath." "I guess the bathroom is as orderly as most people's! Anyway, after you get through it looks as though a cy clone had struck It." "What's a bathroom for if not for use, I'd like to know?" "It isn't necessary for you to throw your towels all over the place, leave the soap to soak away, and spatter things up generally." "Where are the towels?" "Why don't you call Norah?" "I'll get them myself, if you'll tell me where they are." "In the chiffonier drawer.

"Hurry! It's time you came back." "What's the matter?" "Hand me those towels! QUICK! What's the matter? Just use your eyes and you'll see! The ceiling will be ruined, turnine on the water and then leaving it to overflow! Nice trick. isn't it?" "As it happens, you turned that water on yourself." "Yes, at your request! Catch me doing anything for you again!" "I wouldn't if I were you. The idea of blaming me when you turned it on yourself! Why weren't you watching it while I was hunting towels?" "If you had stayed here and taken your bath instead of roaming around the house.it wouldn't have happened." "Of course not! And I could stand around taking cold while Norah took her time bringing the towels." "Well,' stop talking and get down here and help sop up this water before it ruins everything! That's the least you can do. "I don't see but that you are getting on all right with that job. There's no reason why I should butt in." "The idea! When YOU let it run over! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? One would think, to hear you talk, that I was the one that was going to take the bath, and that I am to blame." "You ARE! In the first place, if the towels had been where they belonged, I shouldn't have left the room. Then, after you had turned the water on you should have watched It." "Of all the reasoning! YOU want a bath YOU ask me to turn on the water YOU leave the room It over flows and you blame ME! Hereaf ter you draw your own baths!" AS IT MIGHT BE. "Mabel, be a good girl and turn on the water for me. I want to take a bath." "All right, you lazy boy! How you do like to be waited on!" "Did you ever see a man that did n't?" "No, I don't think I ever did. Dad just loved to have us all wait on him, and we did it, too." "I know you spoil me; so I can eas ily imagine how you were with him." "We all loved to wait on him." "Did you turn the. water on, Pet?" "Yes, dear." "Mabel, there are no bath towels here again tonight. You'll have to speak to Norah. It has happened sev eral times lately." "I'll call her, and tell her to bring them" "Never mind. She's eo slow, I'll get them myself." "Sure you don't mind?" "Dear, why can't Norah keep the bathroom in order? She is getting worse and worse." "I'm sorry you're annoyed, dear, I'll remind her in the morning that she must do better." '.'Well, here goes on a towel hunt!"

"Hurry up! Oh, Jack, hurry!" "What's the matter?" "Hand me those towels QUICK call Norah the bath tub has over flowed! I was so interested in my book that I forgot it. Oh ls there goes my dress! Get me a pin. please. Jack." "Get up. Puss, and give me the towels. I'll sop it up till Norah comes. You're spoiling your dress." "And Jack, dear, I'm so afraid the ceiling will be ruined." "I guess not. You got after it too quickly." "Here's Norah. dear. Let her come now and wipe it up thoroughly." "It may teach her a lesson. If I hadn't been obliged to go to the bed room to hunt towels, it wouldn t have happened." "It was my fault, dear. After I had turned it on I should have watched it." "Why, the idea of blaming yourself Puss! The only way you were at fault was In not seeing that the bathroom was properly attended to." "Do you know. Jack, I have an Idea that Norah thinks if she doesn't put so many towels in the room, you use less." "What difference does It make to her?" "A good deal. She does the laun dry, you know, and. Jack, you are cer- tainly extravagant with towels." "Yes. I know I am.. But Puss, even since I was a small boy I have always 1 thought 'that If I ever had a home of my own, I would use all the towels 1 1 wanted to. Mother was a bit old- j fashioned about it, and we had to be careful how many we soiled." j "What a funny idea for a hoy to have!" 1 "It's one reason men like hotels. They can have all the towels they want and can throw them down any old place when they rinisn tnem. it may sound childish, but we all like to do It." "You shall have all the towels you want after this even if Norah -does nothing but wash towels.'! Countess Szedienyi Is Back. New York, June 29. The Count and Countess Szechenyl, with their two children and a retinue of servants, ar rived on the Mauretania for a two months' visit to the Newport villa of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. The Szechenyls glowing from health were among the first to leave the ship and they were met at the pier by the countess' mother. COLONEL BUNKER. It Was Honor Before Politics With If im. "After the wah," said Colonel Bun ker as he finished his cocktail, "after the wah came reconstruction, and while I played my part in it, I might have done far mo" but for my engage ments on the field of houah. I could have been elected governor of this state by 50,000 majority except for having to nause and defend my honah. I had hosts of friends who hoped for my political advancement, and one day a party committee, headed by Judge Golden, appeared at my office, and the judge observed: 'Colonel Bunker, the people of this great and sovereign state love and admire yo', suh, and wish to make yo' governor. Yo" are a modest, retiring citizen, suh, as becomes a brave anu gallant man, but we trust yo' will please and gratify the whole people by accepting the nomination hereby ten dered to yo'.' "That's what the Judge said, suh. and, though his words were few, they brought, teahs in my eyes. It was a powerful surprise to me, and it was some time befo I could control my emotions. When I had succeeded I said to him: Judge Golden, I don't care for of fice. I am satisfied to rest on my rec ord as a soldier, but if the people of this state are calling for me, suh. I must obey. If I am elected to the high and honorable office I will do my best to retain the love and affec tion of those who honah me.' "That was the way it happened. suh," continued the colonel, "and it is needless to add that my tears mingled with the cocktail I drank with the judge befo' he departed. "A few days later my nomination followed, and the die was cast. Yes, suh, I was nominated by acclamation, and for a time the other party hesi tated about making a nomination in opposition. It was so clear that I had a walk-over and would ride in on the wave that they were reluctant to make a move. "However, they at length decided to put out a ticket, and after a great deal of persuasion as unknown person an unknown person way off in a swamp county was induced to sacrifice him self. While he was such a cipher, suh, that it wasn't deemed necessary for me to make a campaign, I deemed It best to prepare a few speeches and exhibit myself to the enthusiastic and adoring people. "I carried my speeches and I carried the people. It was said in the papers that I was the popular idol, and that my re marks were receved wth hurricanes ot applause nothing less than hurrlcanea. Alter some of the meetings the adoring populace lifted me up on their shoulders and bore me In triumph, suh in triumph. The opposition was silent until the cam paign fully opened, and then they blazed torth like a battery suddenly unmasked. There was falsehood and vituperation by the barrel, and for a moment I felt ap palled. "Not that they could truthfully asperse my record, suh, but they resorted to the basest lying and the grossest exaggera tion. Can yo' credit it, suh, that they tried to take from me the honah of lead ing my regiment in the desperate charge of Gettysburg? Yes. they did. suh they shorely did and they even went farther. One paper said t was fo'teen miles in the rear at the time, and another published a picture of me sitting on the fence while my brave boys were sweeping gallantly up the slopes to die for the cause. Gad, suh, but didn't my blood boil when T saw that picture! And they made charges, suh; charges tha I was a political schemer and a charlatan and dishonest to the core, and that my theories were the phantoms of an insane man. "I couldn't go ahead, suh I couldn't do it. My motives had been belied and my honah impunged, and with tile Bunkers from time Immemorial honah has always come first. I dropped the canvass to preserve and protect my honah. I began at the head of the op position. Perhaps yo' remember of read ing of the sudden demise of an editor named Gadsby In this state? I walked in on him and quietly said: "Suh, I am Colonel Bunker Colonel Bunker, suh. Will yo' kindly arrange to shoot at me at 10 paces?" "He said he would, suh, and he did, suh, and I must say that he died like a gentleman. I trusted that my prompt and vigorous action would have a salutary ef fect on his contemporaries, but they only made it the excuse to pour out other vials of vituperation and Insult. I was forced to call out and wound three in succession, and then I paid my attentions to a state senator who was seeking to couple my name with the scandal. I called him out, and he was on hand to the minute, and when he went down with a bullet in his shoulder he lay like a gentleman. It was an affair I like to remember for its urban ity and general good feeling. "And then came the affair with Judge Harper. The Judge had quqestloned my bravery as a soldier and my sincerity as a politician, and I waited upon him in the usual way. He received me as one gClUluiau 1 .1.1 .n ..iiuLiit.i, null ,j i w 3 J V. A 1. I. ...til. T I 1 .1 arms. It was with all due respect for his many attributes that I put a bullet through his leg and made him a cripple for life. "No less than three other affairs follow ed, and all were beautifully managed and strictly according to the code. That Is a thing I can pride myself on following the code to the very letter. "Some of my opponents were not so careful, however. Judge Thomas, for In stance, being challenged for doubting that I had the best Interests of our people at heart in accepting the nomination, select ed ax-handles as weapons and actually appeared on the field with one in his hands. I turned away rrom him, suh positively and unqualifiedly turned away and public sentiment bore me out In so doing. Later on, when the judge was dying of fever he tendered me a full apol ogy and removed the stain from bis char acter befo" passing away. "The time may come when gentlemen will seek the field of honah with ax handles or sled stakes for weapons, but not In my time, I hope not in my time, suh. 'As to the camDaiffD. suh as to the nam rial sm I couldn't travel and fight 1 duels and make speeches, too, and I therefore threw the campaign over my shoulder. Honah first office second. The unknown nominee on the other ticket took advantage of the occasion to stump the state and make all sorts of promises, and when the adorable and enthusiastic electors came to the polls they forgot me. If I rahiember right, suh and I think I do that unknown and unheard of per son's majority was something like 80,000. "I believe the matter was referred to as a landslide, and some of the pape' 3 were unkind enough to say that I was burled fo'teen feet deep. I was snowed under, suh, but I saved my honah as a gentleman should, ana now L a on 1 mino If I do remove this dryness from my throat. Thanks, suh.

The highest lire New York has even known burned for about ten minutes late last night on the forty-second floor of the Woolworth building, now in course" of construction at Broadway and Park Place. The blaze was about 60 feet, in the -air. Night Watchman William Cunyan Was making his rounds and discovered the flames creeping along some woodwork. Super intendent Frank Holmes of the Construc tion company was notified and had to climb the forty-two stories by the stairs. The two men Quickly put the .blase out with fire extinguishers. CHECKERS. It Was His Speech That Elected a Labor Candidate. "Checkers,"' says I to myself, one day when I came along to a highway crossing, "there's folks in trouble up the road, and it looks like a case of calling for your well-known kindness of heart." It was a buggy which had broken down on the highway and injured two men who had been riding in it. There' was a political campaign on, and both t the men were political speakers, who 1 were on their way to attend an open air meeting. I went to the nearest farm house for help, and after they had been assisted there one of the men said to me: "I am due at the meeting at 2 o'clock. I am down to SDeak on the J labor question. If you'll get on to the horse and ride into town and let it be I known that I can't show up, I'll give you $2. I've been two weeks prepar- ing my speech, and It's a corker, and it's too bad I'm knocked out like this." "Have you any notes with you?" I asked. "Of course." "How should it be if I should look them over and take your place?" "Say, man, are you a tramo or what?" he asked as he looked me j over. "Something of a tramp, but more of a hobo, sauntering over the country for the benefit of his health. I"ve made a political speech or two in my time, and I'm pretty well up on the labor question." 'By George. But it might do It might do! If you could get through j witn it, it would make a great hit. Look here, now, I'll give you the names of a' couple of my friends in town. You ride on and go to them. If they are satisfied that you can make a speech, and you carry it off all right, I'll guarantee you $10. Don't fool wit it, though."' He handed me the notes, and after glancing over them to see the line he had taken I told him I'd tackle a speech. The farmer hitched up a horse to drive me to town and fetch out a doctor, and I had 40 minutes to post up in as we drove along. The men I was told to see looked upon tho matter as a good joke and rushed me ahead. There was about 400 electors at the meeting. It was a laboring man run ning against a lawyer for a country office, and when I got up in my rags I represented labor to the ground. Everybody laughed and hooted for the first three or four minutes, but grad ually they gave me a show. I didn't 'make much use of the notes except statistics. I simply drew a pic ture of a breadwinner toiling from day light to dark to get on, with ambition to .better his condition, and I had 'em cheering me in less than 15 minutes. I held the crowd for an hour, and when I left the platform every mai: wanted to shake hands with me. 1 had a hundred invitations to take a week oft, and the two chaps who had put me up handed me $10 apiece; ant taken all around, it was what you might call a serious occasion. I got away as soon as I could and resum ed my Journey, and three weeks later, when I was in Indiana, I read in the papers that my labor candidate had come in under the wire a winner. I flattered myself that I had contributed somewhat to bring about the result, but I only did it to oblige, you know. It was the $20 I got out of that po litical picnic that got me into trouble a week later. One day when I struck a small town after a tramp of 20 miles the feeling came over me to get a shave and a haircut, and then to sit down to square meal and to sleep in a regular bed. It was a foolish Idea, and I should not have given way to it, but I went ahead and brought d is aster. I had got cleaned up and had my meal and was smoking a five-cent cigar on the hotel veranda, when the landlord sends word to the constable that he had a suspicious guest In his house. Up comes the constable with his silver star all burnished up for the occasion, and says: "Stranger. I'm on to your racket, and you must come with me. Don't resist If you do, I shall shoot you dead in your tracks!' t "What's my racket?" I asked. "Bank burglary. But I shall nip ii in the bud. I spotted you as you come Into town. Put your wrists into these handcuffs and come along!" It's no use arguing with a country sheriff or constable. They are always looking for fees, 'and always have a big thing on hand in their minds. I've been arrested a hundred times over on suspicion, and have found it a waste of breath to say a word. When we got to the lockup, he put Irons on my legs and sat outside the door all night and for a few hours he was the big gest man in the town. In addition to a big revolver he was armed with a shotgun, an ax and a crowbar, and every hour or two ho pounded on the door and informed me that he'd blow my head off at the slightest sign of attempted escape. Next morning I was arraigned before a justice of peace. He was fat and baldheaded and solemn, and he put me down as a desperate character. He started right in to land me in jail, but I handled my case and inside of 10 minutes had him all tangled up. I also had the constable guessing what damages I might get for false impris onment, and then I resumed my jour ney. My entry was very tame, but my departure was almost a triumphal procession. It might have been three months later, and 200 miles away, that I at tended a public meeting in a town one night. Tt had been called bv the tax- payers, and there were several hot de- i bates over contemplated improve- raents. The chairman wasn 1 as wen posted as he might have been, and when an amendment was offered to a resolution he insisted on putting the resolution to a vote first. A dozen voices cried out that he was wrong, and a doxen more that he was right, and they were having a nice old row over it when I got up and quoted Cushing's manual on the point. To say that my appearance and state ment created a sensation is drawing it mild. One faction wanted to throw me out of the window, and the other wanted more Cushing, and in the end I was provided with a suit of old clothes, two meals and a lodging, and when I left town next morning I was told that the opposing faction had been beautifully knocked out.

"Wichita, Kan., June. 29.- Hornsby couldn't hold Wichita. The Jobbers sot to him for five hits and four runs in the first inning. That gave them enough to win and to make sure they gathered a few. more scores, seven in all. The Kaws came back, hard and tried to make enough scores to win. but were unable 'to overcome the lead of the locals. They made three scores, but it was not enough. Patterson, the new Kaw shortstop, was in the game. He handled six chances had had one error. Added to this was a sacrifice and one sin gle. Ryan played third instead of short. He landed for one two-base hit. The teams play a double header today, the Wichita fans having put in two days boosting for the crowd to day in an effort to make up for the advantage the Booster day in To peka next Saturday will give the Witches.

The Minneapolis twirler was a bear at watching men on the bases and his fast peg to first was what real ly kept the Millers from scoring more than they did. TO put outs at imru for the visitors also contributed to that result but the Millers are in the first nlare for one frame at present at any rate and got there by defeating the team that pulled them out of first.

Lincoln News: The Topeka club really needs some valiant boosting. Despite the fact that an organization of business men owns the ball club and has invest ed upwards of $20,000 in order to keep the town on the baseball map and give it valuable advertising, the faintheart ed fans are cultivating the cold foot habit and staying away from, the ball games. The Topeka fan demands winner or he has no use for the na tional game. That habit is common to many towns, although it displays :i lack of devotion to and appreciation of the greatest of outdoor sports. The Lincoln management reports only 2,050 paid admissions for the first three days of the series, the dates including Saturday and Sunday, and the weather was perfect every day. The live business men of Topeka who have put their money into the baseball pro position deserve better returns than that. Let the fact be recorded that the To peka club is a tailender because it lacks the talent. Neither, can any nub dub about the umpires explain away the fact that our Antelopes need strengthening. The Lincoln club- was weak in comparison with its rivals when the campaign was started. It is stronger now and capable of playing some pretty good baseball, but some nign grade talent in one or two depart ments is necessary before the Antelopes can nope to nnish in the first division. Y i t t xcsiucul joues is aouniy anxious io grab the rag. Rube Oardner, the Kaws first sacker, didn't make the trip to Wichi ta witn the team. Instead he is at home nursing his injured forefinger back into fighting trim. The" finger was smashed by one of Healy's fast ones, tne only spitter he threw to oardner all day. "Rube" tried to bunt it ana tne ball broke and smashed his linger. It seems likely that Lincoln will ex ercise its option on Davy Lloyd, lately oi tne uenver team. Jcnes has 30 days to decide. Lloyd played a great game at second base for Denver last year. Ho always plays a great game, Ihis year Denver had a bad slump ana in oraer to appease the fans Hen dricks had to let some one go. He decided on Olmstead and Lloyd. If Hendricks wants a surprise he should try to trade French, who took Lloyd's piace, to juincoin ror uavlo. Perhaps if he can fire Jack Fugate often enough Gear can make a pitcher out of the Iowan after all. Every time it is aeciaea lie is to be released Jack goes in and, pitching hard, wins his game. Then when it is decided he Jias tne stun and will stick he biows up. The best plan now seems to be to fire Jack every week. With less than 200 points between the lowly Kaws and the leaders the Western contest still looks to be any body s race. No one seems to have a cinch on the rag or any position in the percentage column. Half a dozen wins will put the Kaws back into the run rung Considering the showing the team has made the drop taken wasn't a great way down. Also, once started. by the same showing. It seems that it should win consistently. There's the B. F. at Las Vegas, July a ourtn, put ropekans would a great deal rather see the Kaws grab two ends of the double header than see the fight. No prophecy, understand. Merely said they would rather see the Kaws do it. Meanwhile the Kaws have two chances at Wichita this afternoon and with any kind of luck at all should win one of them. A Baseball Fan Runner on second out. Man from third scores and bat ter ge:s a hit. Buy a Booster ticket and make baseball in Topeka a certainty this year and next. The fans in nearly every town in the Western League give the team a booster day. Topeka ought -to do it. No matter what the team does the men behind baseball here have done much to improve the game and make things better for the fans. They have spent a lot of money trying to give Topeka a winning team. They will spend more but they want help. Kick in with your dollar and help get players who'll come nearer doing what you want. If the two semi-pro players taken from the Topeka Midgets and Rock Island team stick with Fred Moore in the Manhattan club of the C. K. League it will be quite a boost for semi-pro stock in Topeka. It will mean that local teams are playing as good ball as they play in the organized game in the central part of the state; Topeka amateurs are playing good ball and the teams in nearoy towns are doing the same. People are see ing better ball outside League parK than they formerly did. Don't pay any attention to this talk of the C. K. league blowing. It isn't a blowing circuit, ine jr.. uuhcu will finish the season out without diffi culty. They are having one of the hottest fights m tne nistory or tne organization out in the central part of the state. The Newton team has been sold to R. C. Gafford, president of the league, and will play under the name of Minneapolis hereafter. But there's no chance for the C. K. to blow. George Alton, center fielder of the Manhattan team has been sold to a big league scout. Fred Moore is the first C. K. manager to get into the money with his players. There are two or three men in the C. K.. league who are due to be grabbed up soon. Paul Cobb laid off a few days to get married. "And thus," quoth Bill Dwyer. "I am robbed of the servics of a good outfielder for the rest of the year." Marriage seems to give players a licepse for an off season. No man ager expects anything else. Meanwhile we shall see if the hoodoo works on Cobb. The Kaws are home Sunday for an Interesting session with the Cubs of Hendricks. Then they will take on the Witches for a few rounds. It will be eight games In a. row. at home -for them and may produce results th?i will be greatly enjoyed by local fans. Let's start in by shoving out a good crowd for the Sunday opener.' The at tendance on Sunday should never fall telow 2,000 but it has once or twice lately. Let's give Hendricks a crowd to start on. Is Lincoln getting back at Denver tor those three straight games lost in the Bear town when -the season opened? Rather.' Lincoln's showing against Denver also show what kind of ball the Kaws played here when they took three out of four from the Dwyers. Bill didn't say whether Or not nis daughter, who has never seen her father lose a game of ball, went witn mm on this Denver trip, but he threatened to take her early last spring. If Lincoln would only lose when the Kaws win there might be a chance for the Kaws to get out of the mire. But it is pretty hard to climb when the other fellow wins every time you do and some when you don't. But the Gears are fighting hard anyhow and the battles they put on are worth seeing even when the Kaws lose. It always takes good baseball to beat them. A Western League scribe is giving this department a lot of advertising for which the writer is truly grateful. Meanwhile there is the belief that the writer knows as much about the lo cal situation as some of the fellows who are dishing up advice at long range. And after all the ball team doesn't belong to this department. Jimmy Walsh is still playing a good game around the middle station and batting up among the leading hitters on the Kaw team. He works well there with Ryan on the shortstop job. Ryan was homesick early this spring and worried until he was almost dis tracted because of the illness of Mrs. Ryan. He was released by Gear and sent home. On top of that the man ager purchased Ryan's ticket, some thing which doesn't usually happen when a player is released. And now to pay Gear back Ryan returned to Topeka at the first distress call, de spite the fact that he expected to play near home, in Ohio, this summer. Sometimes it is a pretty good plan to be good to a ball player. DE MAR PICKED TO WIN MARA 1'HON RACE Clarence A. De Mar.

4 THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL JUNE 29, 1912 Oil, WHAT FUN Hundreds of Children Are En joying Supervised Play. Six Playgrounds Under IV. L. Driver Are Great Success. FORMERLY WAS NOT A FAN ow Miss Johnston, Supervis or, Reads Sporting News. Elaborate Children's Enter tainment for July 4. "Indeed I do," was the reply of .1 little girl at the Central Park grounds when asked if she enjoys play under supervision. And her, eyes sparkled which emphasized the fact that she fully meant what she said. At that Children In Action at the Polk School Playgrounds. moment she was weaving a diminutive doll's rug. It was in one of the "rest periods." "The children enjoy the play so thoroughly," said Miss Clara Johnston, the supervisor of the Central Park and Chesney Park grounds, "that I can hardly get them to go home." This is the experience of the super visors at all six of the play grounds where perhaps as many as 800 or 1,000 .loront children have participated in the games and other diversions. They Listen to Stories. No mother need worry for fear that her child will become exhausted by long continued strenuous play. There are periods of rest at which time the children listen to interesting stories told by the supervisors. They are also taught to use their hands. Simple sewing, weaving, and paper cutting are features of the rest periods. Then there are sand piles that are the delight of the little tots and some that are not so very small. There Is no fund available to pay for the materials used in the "busy"' or in dustrial work, so necessarily the in structors are under a handicap. The youngsters who are taking ad vantage of the play under supervision range from little tots just learning to run about to those 16 years of age. Over in Chesney park the mothers enjoy the shade of the trees each afternoon while their little ones are having the time of their brief existence. There is no monotony about the play. A different game is tried almost every day. What They Pipy. Baseball played on the "indoor" plan is the popular sport among the older beys. Games are played between picked nines from the respective playgrounds in fact a playground league has been organized. Basket and volley ball are also enjoyed. Captain ball is all the "rage" among the older girls, and in this pastime MOTHERHOOD SUGGESTIONS Advice to Expectant Mothers The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Fol lowing right upon this comes the ner vous strain of caring for the child, and distinct change in the mother results. There Is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing la that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an un prepared condition, and with ample time In which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, a most valuable tonic and invig orator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong. If yon want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confi dential) Lynn, Mass. Tonr letter will he opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence. inter-playground matches have been arranged. The small children have not reached the. stage in their development when they can appreciate to any great ex tent the organized games. Ring and other games of a similar nature are what they most appreciate. They are taught folk dancing. Just now they are preparing for the entertainment that will be given the evening of July 4 at the fair grounds under the auspices of the playground and Boy Scout move ments. Heads Sporting News. The supervisors of the play pfflciate in the baseball and other games. Miss Clara Johnston of the Central park and Chesney park grounds admitted she wasn't much of a "fan" before she assumed her duties. "I have been reading the sporting news in the papers for tho first time in my life," she said. "I have to in order to keep up. Then I got an idea of the game through playing the card game of baseball that was invented by a Topeka man. "The children don't fuss about my decisions. They simply say, "Well, she says it is so.' and that is tha end of it. "The children have been fine about minding. Or.ly once h-ive I had to speak to a boy about swearing. Twice I have had to speak about smoking. "All classes of children take advant age of the playgrounds. Some of them are from the very best fnmilies in the city. They usually do not come from a distance of more than a quarter of a mile or ptrhaps a half-mile. This goes to show that play grounds in all parts of the city would be a good thing. Taught to Speak Correctly. "I try to correct the children in their use of words when I can do it without hurting their feelings. If I did not do it tactfully all the fun of the play would be spoiled for them They so often say 'I ehoosed,' or "I chosed." Some of the older boys have been taken to the swimming pool of the Central Y. M. C. A. for a splash by AV. L. Driver, general director of the planned"" Thfn "hikes" cre being The board of education is paying for the supervised play for a period of six weeks. Half of this time has already elapsea. The work of the supervisors nas been a great success and for this an elaborate program is being arranged for the evening of the Fourth of Julv at the Fair grounds. An ad mission price of 25 cents will be charged, m this manner it is hoped to raise enough money to continue the Play under supervision for another six weeks. Fourth or July Prop-am. The program which will start at 6 Tk J',11 delude folk dances and regular field day contests. Jsot only will the children of the six supervised playgrounds of the city compete in field day events, but the youngsters of all the Sunday schools or the city have been invited to parti cipate, and the members of the Boy Scout organizations likewise. In fact in the unlimited class even grown-ups will be allowed to compete, the entries must be in by July 1 Those who enter should see Mr. Driv- v ?r T3f" Woodard at the Central x M. C. A. There will be events for those weighing 70, 85, 100, lis. 135, in cluding dashes ranging in length from 50 yards to 220 yards, high and broad jump, and 440 and 880 yard relay races. The 880 yard relay race is for the 135 pound class. Then there is an unlimited class (over 135 pounds.) These larger ama teur athletes will Indulge in a 100 and a 220 yard dash, 440 and 880 yard and mile runs, high and broad jumps, l pound shotput and 880 yard relays. There will also be folk dances in con nection with the entertainment. The following te an extract of a let ter sent out to boy leaders by W. L Driver, supervisor of playgrounds: "Members of the Sunday schools will compete as individuals in every thing except the relays. In the relays the contests wil be between the Sun day schools only.- A boy wil be al lowed to represent his boy scout troop, his Sunday school and also his play ground if he chooses. Please read this letter to the boys and send vour en tries to me not later than "Monday. July 1, in order to get tickets for the meet." Buttons as Prizes. Attractive buttons together with appropriate ribbons will be given as first, second and third prizes. On the button will be inscribed the letter "P," standing for playgrounds. Miss Daisy Crawford has charge of the play at Grant school both morn ing and afternoon; Miss Lulu McKee at Parkdale; Miss Clara Johnston at Central Park school grounds in the morning and at Chesney park in the afternoon: Earl Fnantz at the Polk grounds, and Mr. Driver at Willow park afternoons. Supervisor W. L. Driver Explaining ON THEJNGREASE Building Activity in Topeka Is Jfow Marked. Scores of Substantial Dwellings Are Being Erected. HAVE SOLD TOO HOUSES Two Firms Have Disposed of That Many Dwellings. The 1912 Activity Will Con tinne Throughout Summer. Building activity in Topeka is on the increase. However, the trend is main ly In one direction home building. This week permits were Issued for the erection of a dozen new dwellings', and the total for the month is 32. Two realtv firms in the city have sold 100 dwellings this year. Some of these have already been constructed. while others are now building or about to be built. On one street in Elmhurst five resi dences were started this week. Among those for whom the houses are being built are George S. Badders, Harry Wolf, and Joseph Wahle. The house of the former will be especially well arranged, with large living room 13x25 feet, and provided with a fire place, and an enclosed sleeping porch. In cluding the land this will be about a $4,000 property. Some Interesting Figures. In speaking of building permits, the total amount in permits issued in the month now about to close is more than $130,000. This includes 32 dwellings which are listed in the permit book at an average cost of $60,000. In the past week permits have total ed nearly $50,000. This brings the aggregate for the year in permits to These figures speak for themselves. They are not conjecture or mere "hot air," and what is more indications are that the activity will continue through out the ummer months, although there is often a slump when the warm winds sweep over Kansas. One realty firm which has Just opened up a new tract expects to have this property dotted with dwellings before the close of the reason. The fact ol" the activity in home building is evidence of the prosperity of the capital city, and is furthermore significant, inasmuch as it shows that Topeka is expanding. The largest item in the list of per mits for this week gives permission to erect the new Missouri Pacific station at a cost of $18,000. Xew School Buildings. Next Monday night the board of education will probably authorize the clerk to advertise for bids for the erection of a four room school build ing in the Quinton Heights district, and for the rebuilding of one wing to tho Potwin school building. Although small the new Quinton building will embrace all the latest ideas in this clasp of construction. The material used will be a dark vitrified brick. The dimensions as planned by the architects Williamson and Gibb are 42x50 feet. On the second floor there will be two class rooms. These will be pro vided with a partition which may be thrown open to form one general as sembly room to be used on special oc casions. Over the entrance there will be a rest room for the use of the teachers. The plans include two class rooms on the first floor and one room in the basement which for the next year will be used for play purposes. The front entrance of the building will measure 12x12 feet. The accom panying cut gives the general exterior effect. It is estimated that exclusive of the heating equipment, the struc ture will not cost more than $9,000. It will be remembered that In May one wing of the Potwin building was condemned as not being safe for oc cupation. This wing will be rebuilt at a cost of not more than $14,000 according to the estimate of the archi tect, John F. Stanton. On the first floor will be an assem bly hall which may be transformed into two class rooms as there will be a movable partition provided. There will be three rooms on the second floor, and two manual training rooms in the basement. 'In the old portion of the building there are four class rooms and two small extra rooms.

SUFFRAGE NOTES, A most interesting visitor at suf frage headquarters this week was Dr. Alberta Corbin, associate professor of German at Kansas university. Dr. Corbin is chairman of the member ship extension work and a mqst ar dent suffragist. "Douglas county, especially Law rence, is exceedingly strong for the cause," Dr. Corbin declared. "The executive board has decided that at every meeting of importance this summer, Chautauquas, large picnics, etc., a suffrage speech is to be made. The university girls at K. U. are ex tremely interested in the work; they are carrying on a canvass and a com mittee of ten is seeking among stu dents and teachers for suffrage sym pathizers, and distributing literature broadcast. I wonder if you know that a vote at the normal school showed 66 to 38 for suffrage? But we are not satisfied with that, and are work ing to make the vote unanimous." Dr. Corbin was accompanied by Master Arthur Corbin, jr., and Mas ter Herbert Hale Corbin, two sunny little nephews, who announced that they .were "strong for suffrage." There is a new possession at suf frage headquarters a huge yellow banner inscribed "Equal Suffrage Is Democracy True to Itself." It was sent from headquarters in California, and is, Mrs. Johnston says, bringing good luck to headquarters in Topeka. "It is going to be our mascot," she declared. Mrs. W. A. Johnston has received an interesting letter from the Kiowa George Hall's Flying Commercial club, stating that the or ganization has set apart a day for suf frage in its fall carnival. It was Victor Hugo who said, "The nineteenth century's greatest discov ery is women." Miss Aurel Burtis of Garden City spent Wednesday at the suffrage headquarters. She is an exceedingly interesting young woman, having just been graduated frsm the Northwest ern university, where she specialized in music and oratory. She is ready to use her talent and her knowledge in behalf of suffrage. Miss Burtis is not only an entertaining speaker, but a singer of note: anyone desiring in formation concerning her should In quire at headquarters In Topeka. The Good Government club has is sued 40,000 circulars. The "Gee-Gee's Catechism," containing a series of pointed Queries and answers, should net be overlooked by anyone interested in "Votes for Women." Chivalry or the Ballot: Which?" by Mrs. Lee Monroe herself, is exception ally readable, and another leaflet. "Sister, are you totin' fair?" is most interesting, closing with the following convincing quotations: "I am for woman's suffrage because It is right." Mrs. W. R. Stubbs. "I am in favor of giving the fran chise to all citizens Irrespective of sex." Theodore Roosevelt. "In Colorado we owe to woman's suffrage more than any other cause the most advanced laws of any state in the Union for the protection of the home and the children." Judge Ben B. Lindsey. "Until we have the ballot we cannot accomplish the good for humanity we would. Jane Addams. "I will heartily support woman suf frage." Frank Strong, Chancellor of Kansas university. "I contribute my word in behalf of universal suffrage. Women are sub ject to all laws and yet have no right nor authority in their making, which is rank injustice." W. A. McKeever, Professor of Philosophy. K. S. A. C. "I have spent much time answering supposed reasons against woman's suf frage. There are no reasons, only prejudices." W. H. Carruth, vice chancellor, K.

Topeka Man Thinks He Has Solved Problem. George Hall Makes' Small Model of Airship. FROPELLDRS ARE GYROSCOPIC Blades, in Pairs, Revolve in Opposite Direction. Inventor Lacks Funds to Work Out Idea. A model flying machine may solve the problem of safe aerial navigation acooromg to inventor Geo. Hall of 830 Madison street, a mechanic in the in terior. car finishing department at the Santa Fe shops. The machine has four propellers, two in a set, in a parallel line. However each set is made in opposites and revolve in op poEites. That is the blade of each propeller curves downward to its "mate" in the set. This, reasons Mr Hall, will give the 'blades a purchase on the air, or a gyroscope motion, which will keep the airship balanced automatically, without need of warn ing the planes to offset unequal air pressure. Machine Model. The propellers are set in a frame work or cage shaped like a torpedo, or perhaps like a huge cigar. It re sembles the frame for the balloon of the Zeppelin airships. Another pe culiar feature of Mr. Hall's idea Is the rectangular planes on either side of the front and the triangular planes at either side of the rear of the frame. The front control and rear rudder are fashioned like those of the usual monoplane type. The model is about 44 inches long from the tip of the front control to the rear edge of the rudder. It is about two feet in diameter. The front planes are 8 4 x 12 inches. The tri angular planes have about a six inch base by an eleven inch altitude and about fourteen Inch hypotenuse. It weights about two pounds. Poplar wood is used in the framework. It has never been equipped with motive power and thus has never been tried out. Inventor Xeetls Backer. However, Mr. Hall is confident that he has the right idea for a safe air craft and if he had the means would build one capable of carrying at least one passenger, just to try his idea. "I have always thought that aerial navigation was simply a matter of evolution," said Mr. Hall thin, after noon. "However, so far, men have made only dirigibles or gliding ma chines with engines attached. These are at the mercy of the air currents. "The aviator strikes a contrary air current, and-- before he has time to warp or adjust his planes, it is too late, and his machine is headed for destruction to Itself and probably loss ot lire to mm. "With the gyroscopic principle upon which the propellers In this model are made, I believe that there would be such a purchase on the air that the airship would stay balanced in any kind of an air current. "These propellers, working in sets or two each would heed two motors. That is where the cost comes in. En gines adapted for aerial craft cost from 5500 to $1,S00, but I believe that if some one would back .me, we could produce a safe airship. "I would make some changes in a practical ship, as I think I can see where I could improve upon the mod el. However, the essential features would be the same. The shape, I be lieve, would give it more stability than if made after the; typical aeroplane type. "No, 1 can see no reason why my idea would not work out successfully.

"A luk Owing to the enthusiastic reception j.: corded Gatty Sellars, the organist of the Queen's hall London, England, concerts, this week at the Auditorium, he has been prevailed upon to return to Tcpeka Sunday. This will enable all lovers of music, rich or poor, to heal to the best advantage, the great organ in the city's Auditorium. The concert? of sacre.d music will take place al 4 p. m. and 8:15.

The afternoon re cital has been arranged at 4 p. m. 3C that all members of churches may at tend without interfering in any way wllh their regular church erviccs. When mentioning this, it is interesting to note that Mr. Sellars is the son and grandson of ministers of the Methodist church In England, so that his whole l.fc, apart from his recitals at the Qveen's Hall and Crystal Palace, hat been devoted to church recitals in dif ferent parts of the world.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL JUNE 29, 1912 RAILR0AD NEWS Startling Advance Report for Fiscal Year. Reduction in Net Revenue! Will Be $8,000,000. MANY CAUSES FOR LOSS Federal and State laws and Increase in Wages. Other Items of General Inter est in Traffic World. Railioad men In Topeka have bsen Siveu advance notice that for the fitcal year -which will end Sunday night,, the railways in this country will show a net loss of more than $8.000,0K in -avn-irigs. The increase in operating ex penses will advance more than Jf.0, 000,000. The gross earnings will gsin KTOund the $62,000,000 mark. I. is argued that the great' increase in operation has been caused by the severe winter, the flood losses in the Mississippi valley, the advarcs in wages, the state laws increasing trnin 4-rews and reducing working hours, the federal reduction of rates, the fctate commission reductions and th-j crop failures of last fall. There is another interesting phase to the present fiscal year, as the amount of additional capital whlc-i ha? been employed in earning aboi.t. S, 000,000 less returns than the year be fore will run above $200,000,000. Gross earnings per mile, which Is really the best indication of the volume or business carried, stood at $8,4Gt at the end of eight months, compared with $8,524 for the same period of last year, a difference of less than 1 per cent, despite the fact that average op erated mileage shows an increase of about 3.00 miles. Net earn ings per mile for the eight months of the present fiscal. year were $2,348, while for the same period of 1911 the earnings were $2,397, a difference of about 2 per cent. In April the gross earnings showed a slight gain of about i of 1 per cent, while net earnings, due principally to the floods, and the. coal strike, fell away about 12 per cent. It is probable that net earnings after taxes are deducted! per mile of road, for the entire year, will decline from 3 to 4 per cent, when compared with last vear. Ixissps by the Weather. "While the present year has been a record-breaker for weather deteriora tion of roadway, maintenance of way and structures will only exceed the cost of last year by about $1,000,000. There la a possibility that this ex pense will not be so large, if the roads curtailed expenditures of this kind dur ing the current year. At the end of February the maintenance of way ac count was $5,000,000 behind the previous year. Maintenance of equipment and trans portation accounts best show the re sults of a hard year for the carriers. I'pkeep of equipment will probably show an increase between J17.000.00C and $18,000,000. Though this amount is only 4 per cent more than last year, it is really a gain of 25 per cent in gross.

He will deliver the notable se ries of great lectures he has been giv ing on the lyceum and Chautauqua platformi. The deacons and trustees of the First Baptist church found that Dr. Dinger had one free week before his summer Chautauqua work begins and closed a contract with him that the children and others who do not often have the privilege of hearing Chau tauqua programs might have the ben efit of these entertaining lectures. On Sunday night, Dr. Dinger's sub ject will be, "The Man of Galilee," and on Monday evening, "The Nor' Wester." The "Nor' Wester," is a "gloom killer." Those who attend once will come again. This is not a money-raising scheme. There is no financial profit in it for the church or any other organization. A free will offering will be taken at the close of the week night lectures. There will be no urging for those who ordinarily cannot afford a fifty-cent admission fee. Those who do not contribute will be as welcome as others. MRS.

NO FAKES TO BE PERMITTED Everything Must Be First Class. Out of Town People Are Be coming Interested. The management of the Kansas State feir is working towards getting- to gether next September the greatest display of agricultural products ever teen in Kansas. An effort is being made to interest the promoters of Grange fairs to dis play in Topeka subsequent to the hold ing of their "pumpkin" shows. "By the co-operation of the county Granges in Shawnee county," said Sec retary Cook, "a splendid county dis play could be got together. Though debarred from competing for premiums against outside counties, Shawnee county would have the opportunity of receiving $2 for every point ;jco:ed iibove 60 points. Thus it will oe seen that a perfect score of 100 points would mean $80 for the display as a prize. "It is probable that the concerted action of the Granges can be enlisted in the work. Individual exhibits of larm products, the output of any sin gle farm, command liberal premiums also. Auburn- to Come. "The Auburn Grange is planning to excel their splendid fair of last Tear and already collections of products or' being made for the August fair at Grange hall. Osage county profited by the showing made by Auburn farmers in 1911 due to being located so near he county line, but had this d. splay hcei. put on at the state fair the whole bir.te would have benefited." The truck farmers of the state are censidered in the 1912 premium list of the Kansas State fair, and for the first time special prizes are offered tn's class of farmers. The truckers in the vicinity of Topeka are contemplating displays in this department, and are collecting some of their finest speci mens for the fair. The money premiums are liberal enough to stimulate lively competition, and the favorable crop year makes it comparatively easy to get some fine stuff together. The launch. Stands. It is well to inform the lunth stand, dining hall, and other concessionaires that nothing but the real goods will be tolerated on the grounds no imitations. No red lemonade made but of acid will be tolerated. The facts of the case are that Dr. S. J. Crumbine and the state board of health will see that violations of the state pure food laws are brought to time.

While some of the conditions last year were considered rather severe, the fair management Is also interested in as clean, wholesome and tidy an appearance on its conces sion streets as it is possible to havo, and will co-operate with the health officers to make the fair grounds not only a healthful but a pleasant place for the most exacting germtheorist to vir.it. Perfect sanitation of the grounds and buildings will be insisted upon, and the superintendent, Hugh A, Benner. will see to it that the laws laid down are enforced. Out of Town Work. A most important adjunct of any ftiir is its transportation superi.Uc.id er.t. This officer can make or unmafc a fair by his treatment of the cut cf own exhibitor. In securing J. A. Ixtt. who haa been retained in that capneity by the Kansas State Fair manage ment for this year an energetic ai.d experienced railroad freight man, the tig Topeka fair has been most ortu-r-ate. On the job from the time exhibit": begin to arrive until every car hue been loaded and switched out of the grounds, he last year made fviendt for the fair and won the esteem of ihe exhibitors and the railroads. Ke saved all the worry incident tu tree ing shipments, ordering cars switched seeing that everybody got what they -vanted from the transportation and transfer companies and got it when they wanted it. By his executive ability he ironed out the ruffled tempers, even in mud dy weather, and the exhibitors gave him credit for the zeal displayed in endeavors to make their reception and leavetaking pleasant under all circumstances. Ninety odd cars were switched into and out of the grounds during the week without a hitch or bobble. Nothing exasperates a shipper quite so much as to have delays or trouble in getting to and from a fair grounds. He has dates to fill and in many cases forfeits his rights to premiums if he does not make a fair on time. One of last year's exhibitors said of the transportation superintendent: That man Lott is a whole section, and I have seen lots of men who have cast their lots' along the same lines that would not measure up with him by several city lots."

The police court records for the month of June Indicate that persons, whose names are familiar to the rec ords, have been on their good behav ior during the month. The amount of fines collected by the police depart ment show a great reduction over last month and for the corresponding month in 1911. The police have been just as attentive and watched the city as much as usual but they have not located the usual amount of law viol ation. The total amount of money col lected in fines during the last month is $248.25 as compared with $308.16 during the month of May and with $354.25 during the corresponding month of 1911. The work book shows a great reduction In the amount of fines that have been worked out. Police Judge N. B.' Arnold was on a rampage Friday. John Patterson, who runs a drug store at 307 Kansas ave., was arrested on nisance charge Monday, June 24, and appeared for trial Friday. The result was that Mr. Patterson was sentenced to pay into the city treasury the sum of $200- and to spend 60 days in the city prison. He has a fine of $100 and a sentence of 30 days pending in the district court, which was appealed from the police court. On the occasion of the last raid .the police captured a case of whiskv before Mr. Patterson had opened It and the firewater is being held.

His place was raided last Monday aid the police found a quantity of liquor and some beer In his place. This is the first time that he has. appeared W police court, at least for a time, and he was given a fine of $100 and sentenc ed to 30 days in the city prison. W. J. Jamison made an effort to secure a parole or a stay of judgment but the police nor James Clark, the as sistant city attorney, would agree to the proposition. Mr. Jamison threat ens to appeal the case to the district court and the police are willing for him to do so as they think they have sufficient evidence to convict. Daniel McClafferty dared to be a Daniel. He entered the cage of the roaring lion and pleaded guilty to the charge of maintaining a nuisance, that two other men might secure their re lease. Mat Cave and John Allendorf were arrested in Peg Leg's place at 200 Kansas avenue a week ago. The police found 13 cases of beer and a number of empty cases. Daniel, whc dared, contended that the two defend ants did not belong in the place except as visitors and pleaded guilty to the charge on one count. He is sick at present and he will not be required tc begin serving his sentence in the city prison until his physical condition will permit. This is the first time that Mr McClafferty has appeared In police court for some time but even at that he ts a familiar character. At one time he was considered to be one of the most persistent violators in the city. Bruce Griffith, a negro chauffeur, is another who has been added to the list of jay drivers in the city of Topeka. He was arrested Friday night by Officer Wondcrly, who saw him cut the cor ners at the intersection of Sixth and Kansas avenue. Griffith did not think he had cut the corner and announced that he was from Missouri. Officer Wonderly happened to be from Texas and showed him. Griffith put up the usual $2 and went on his way. Walter Hughes was one of a num ber who crawled through a window or one of the many entrances of the Grand opera house building Friday morning to enjoy some laughing water. A number of other young men enter ed the building and the bunch had supply of liquor on hand which they disposed of by the way of the funnel route. The affair started early in the morning and operators in the office of the Bell telephone called Mr. Craw ford out of bed at 5 o'clock in the morning to tell him about it. The boy got a tip and disappeared before the police arrived there. A number of other arrests will likely result. Frank and Mollie Freeman and A. Matthews, all negroes, were arrested by Sergeant Sauls and Detective Sum mers and Officer Duncan Friday after noon. They are due to report at the police station this afternoon to answei to the charge of vagrancy. The police claim that the trio have been in the habit of "trimming" victims who arc coaxed to enter the rooms by the wo man and will make an effort to break up the practice. AN AUTO HITS POP-POP V.
