Darrow Jury Brings in a Ver diet of Not Guilty. Out 31 Minutes and Took but Three Ballots. TURNED INTO AN OVATION Trial Scene Becomes a Recep tion for the Defendant. Bailiffs Unable to Check tho Popular Demonstration. UNANIMOUS FROM THE FIRST Jury Wished to Axoid Any Ap pearance of Haste. First Ballot Was 8 to 4 for ot Guilty. Los Angeles, Au?. 17. Clarence S. Darrcw, the noted Chicago lawyer, was found not guilty today of the charge of bribery of a juror in the Mc- C?renc Namara case. The jury was out 34 minutes. Only three ballots were, taken by the jury and each juror voted not guilty. Although warned against any demon stration by the bailiffs, there was a spontaneous outburst of applause when Foreman M. R. Williams, in response to the court's query, stated that the jury had found a verdict of not guilty. There was a rush to the side of the defendant, which was stopped by the bailiffs, but it was renewed a few mo ments later after Judge Hutton thank ed and discharged the jury. Then ensued a remarkable scene. Darrow approached the Jurors still In the box to thank them and two of Them. Jurors Golding and Dunbar, threw their arms about him and pat ted his back. Other Jurors reached forward and clasped hands with the attorney. The scene gradually re solved itself into reception for Darrow and the Jurors, friends of the erstwhile defendant crowding up to congratulate him and shake hands with the jurors, while the flashlights of newspaper photographers boomed from every angle of the court room. Acquittal Was Expected. The final scene in the trial which lasted several days more than three months, was dramatic in the extreme. The crowd which filled the court room when the jury filed out at 9:25 o'clock was still intact when the electric bui eer in the room summoned the bailiff to that occupied by the jurors on the floor above. The waiting crowd, composed mostly of Dai-row's friends seemed confident the verdict would not be long in com ic;. The instructions of Judge Hutton convinced many of them that it would b. a verdict of acquittal, and the sound of the buszer, followed by sudden ac tivity among the bailiffs, electrified the spectators. When the Jurors filed into their seats, hundreds searched the faces of the men for some indication of the rrsult of their brief deliberations. Most of the faces were expressionless while one or two showed suppressed ex citement. What sounded like a long sigh and a few handclaps followed the announcement of foreman M. R. Wil lUms that the verdict was not guilty. Ati effort had clearly been made to obey the warning against a demonstration ajid the spontaneous outburst ended abruptly. With the formal thanking and dis charging of the jury the crowd rushed forward to congratulate the Chicago lawyer and his wife, who had sat at his side since the trial began; but with only a passing acknowledgment Dar row and his wife rushed over to the jury box and Golding and Dunbar threw their arms about the erstwhile defendant, patted him on the back and declared with smiles that it was the happiest day of their lives. Other Jurors reached out to grasp his hands and the crowd pushed in and swarmed over the Jury box. Judge Congratulates bim. Judge Hutton was one of the first officials to congratulate Darrow. "Hundreds of thousands of halle lujahs will go up from as many throats when they hear of this," said the judge as he grasped the hand of the vindicated lawyer. A reception in which the Darrows and members of the Jury were the central figures followed and lasted almost until noon. Although the members of the jury declared that they were always of one mind, three ballots were, taken, in or uer, as one of them said,' that no "un due haste" would be shown. The first ballot was 8 to 4 for ac quittal and the second 1C to 2; the third was unanimous for "not guilty." The result of the vote was received with applause and cheers by the Jurors, echoes of which were hearo. in the chambers below of Judge Hutton. Darrow dictated the following state ment to the Associated Press: "It has been a long, hard ordeal and of course I have great sense of relief at its, close. None of those who knew me ever believed that I was conupt and thier encouragement and faith has been my greatest help in this trial. The indictment and prosecution could not have happened except under the tense excitement and strain of the dramatic rlose of the McNamara case. "I shall spend the rest of my life as I have that which is past, in doing the best I can to serve the cause of the poor." Fredericks Talks. District Attorney Fredericks was not present when the verdict was an nounced. He was visibly perturbed wnen intormed of it. "I have nothing to say." he said "We gave the jury evidence which in our judgment was complet and con .vincing. I think the jury has taken into account what has been said by 'he defense s counsel more than they have the evidence. However, we do not quarrel with verdicts. It is our bus iness to present evidence, theirs to consider it. I imagine we will try the Bain case. I do not know cf any rea son why we should not. It is a far stronger case than this." Darrow. Associate Counsel H. H. Appel of the defense declared that it was the na ture of the evidence against Dan aw that brought about the verdict of ac quittal. "I have always felt," he said, "that no American Jury would countenance a scheme to allow so many criminals to go free in order to convict a de fendant." It is generally believed that Dar row will not be tried on the second In dictment charging him with the brib ery of Robert F. Bain, the first juror sworn to. try James B. McNamara. The case will be called for setting Monday before Judge Hutton. "We do not know what will happen after that," said Assistant District At torney Ford. "We are not making any annouvcements as to further action by the state." Mr. Darrow said that he had intend ed to return to Chicago as soon as pos- sinle. but he was undecided at pres ent. Mrs. Darrow collected the auto graphs of the twelve jurors- "They are twelve new inenas, sne m, "and I will keep them forever." As soon as the verdict became imnnrn nn the streets, an American flag was displayed from the flagpole on the Labor tempie. DINES WITH NEGROES. Ttoosevelt wipes Out the Color line at Providence. Providence, R. I., Aug 17. The olor line was obliterated when Uolonel Roosevelt sat down to a dinner at the Hotel Narragansett with workers in his Rhode Island campaign. At tho board were two women who have aligned themselves with the third par ty cause, one of them the daughter of ex-Governor Garvin. Also seated at the cable were Julius L. Mitchell, a lawyer of Providence, and Dr. Matthews of Newport, both negroes, who went to the third party convention as delegates. The negroes are in the Rhode Island ptate execu tive committee of seventeen. Roosevelt showed the most cordial interest in his negro supporters at the dinner, directing his conversation at times directly to them. The feast was a secret affair. GOES INTO THE DITCH.

Supreme Court Will Hold Inquisition Causes a Panic in the City's Underworld. MANY GAMBLERS LEAVE TOWN Price Paid for Police Protection During Past Year By Disorderly Houses Estimat ed at $1,000,000. New Tork, Aug. 17. A general inves tigation into police grafts in all its phases is to be undertaken by the ex traordinary session of the supreme court presided over by Justice Goff who has been designated by Governor Dix to sit in the trials of Police Lieut. Becker and others charged with the n.uruer or the gambler Herman Rosen thal. News that the supreme court would conduct a grand Jury inquisition with Justice Goff having full powers of com pelling testimony caused a panic in the underworld today and many gamblers and others hurriedly left the city, it has been supposed that the appoint ment of Justice Goff was only for the purpose of trying the Rosenthal mur der case, but it leaked out that th, supreme court would begin a John Doe inquiry that would delve into tho intermost relations between the police and keepers of gambling and disor derly houses. Unjer John Doe proceedings Jus tice Goff can call gamblers and keep ers of disorderly houses and force them to tell how much money was paid for police protection and to whom the money was paid. The aldermanic inquiry, it is expected, will co-operate with the work of the supreme court. Evidence is in the hands of District Attorney Whitman that dis orderly houses in the city paid more than $1,000,000 for police protection during the last year and that this mon ey went to certain police inspectors and others "higher up." The punish ment inflicted upon Inspector Hayes by reducing him to the rank of cap tain and then suspending him on the charge that he failed to keep his dis trict clean is believed to be a forerun ner of a general shake-up by Police Commissioner Waldo, who is now con vinced that the police have deceived him as to gambling and vice con ditions. Commissioner Waldo said: "There is proof now of laxity and bad work on the part of certain n spectors and policemen. If these men have been downright crooks the- truth will come out and they will be pun ished. If they have erred through stu pidity or carelessness, they will be re quired to change their ways or I shall fire them from the department."

ARE 3,000 DEAD Injured 6,000 by the Recent Earthquake. Whole Villages Are Heaps of Charred Debris. Constantinople. Aug. 17. An appalling story of suffering and damage caused by the recent earthquake in the region abou the sea of Marmora was told by the members of the expedition dis patched on August 14 to the stricken district on board the United States snnboat Scoroion. guardship at Con stantinople which returned here today. The number or Kiuea in sne various: towns and villages is placed at 3,000, .....4 Kivin Tt wns fminri imoos- sible to approach, several villages ow- ia! to tne odors arising irura me uuura buried among the ruins. Other vil lages were simply heaps of charred de bris. The plight of the survivors has been rendered worse because of diffi culty of obtaining building material. Earthquakes continue almost daily at many plaees along the coast. Six fhocks were felt yesterday and many damaged houses collapsed. In several villages visited by the expedition, some of the houses which apparently wera undamaged were found to consist ol empty sheils, the whole of the interior having collapsed. At Myrieophite the appearance of the town was deceptive because a number of houses standing on the sea front surrounded by gardens were intact, but immediately in the rear scarcely a stick or stone was left upright. Num erous fissures were observed in the ground but none of great size although the villagers reported that a cleft near ly 200 feet deep had opened in a hill side eight miles inland. People Seem Stunned. The people throughout the district .appeared stunned by the catastrophe and made no attempt to help them selves, sitting and brooding over their misfortunes and awaiting the arrival of relief. The Red Cross society and the Greek philanthropic societies are doing good work in the district, the Red Cross having dispatched missions to the interior to assist the sufferers. The Turkish transport Bezzm-y-Alem has been converted into a hospital' ship and anchored off the coast. The American medical mission after treating 300 patients and finding that its work was overlapping that of other missions handed over its supplies and medical stores to the vali of Adrianople who is superintending the work on the scene. The American Red Cross society con tinued to dispatch supplies to the suf ferers and the foreign colonies here purpose to collect subscriptions under the patronage of their respective lega tiens. The ecumenical patriarchate con templates making an appeal for aid to the Archbishop of Canterbury. GOOD-BYE TO WIGWAM Historic Training Headquarters WU1 Be Wrecked. San Francisco, Aug. 17. The "wig wam." famous in the annals of Fistiana is to be torn down. For 35 years world's champions have trained ther In the old wooden pavilion across the bay in Alameda, Jack Dempsey had his quarters when he was thought in vincible. Peter Jackson trained there for his battle with Jim Corbett. Joe Gans worked there for his last fight with Battling Nelson.

Cool- t er tonight POLITICAUJOSSiP Many Well Known Politicians Running for-Senate. Fitzpatrick, Price and Wagge ner May Come Back. OLD SENATORS TO TRY AGAIN Quincy, Bender and Vinton StiUings on the Way. Veatch of Washington and Carey of Eeno, Nominees. Many of the students in the old school of Kansas law making, will sit in the senate next winter. Judging from the returns from the state wido primaries. Among those men who wlU return to the legislature or try to are men who have for years been prominent in state politics and helped to create some of the best laws on the statute books. In fact the senate next year will probably include such old timers as Price, Waggoner, StiU ings, Porter, Stavley, Getty, Fitzpat rick, Troutman, Denton, Quincy, Car ey and a half dozen others. Among this old crowd are men who have helped in former elections of United States senators, men who went through some of the hottest fights ever witnessed in the Kansas legisla ture. In the crop of a score of new senators who will come to Topeka next winter, any of them will find willing leaders in any one of the doz en pioneers of the legislative halls. In a number of districts this year, the former members of the lower house were rewarded for their service by nominations to the senate. In other districts the parties selected men whose faces will be new In Kansas politics and in a Kansas law making body. Many of the state senatorial fights this year were hotly contested, and the fights for the party nomina tions in most districts will be carried to the November election. In the Brown-Doniphan district, W. P. Lambertson, a member of the house in 1911, was nominated by the Republicans in a three-cornered bat tle. W. E. Waupler was given the Democratic nomination without op position. Balie P. Waggener, of Atchison, is the Democratic nominee in the Sec ond district, which includes Atchison and Jackson counties. Waggener's name in the senate roll call next ses sion will add a familiar tone to the visitor of other days if he chances to watch the 1913 legislature work. It was Waggener who went through the stormy days when the old rv was in force, when reporters were ban ished and when the Atchison man's affiliation with the railway industry was recited at every opportunity.

"I used to be just like one of those fellows in the Rosenthal case, gamb ling, sneak-thieving, yegging and then bigger jobs," said Burke today. "I served seven years in the Massachu setts penitentiary; when I got out I came to Philadelphia and tried to be an honest man, but one of my old gang pals found me out and has been blackmailing me ever since.

She kept her professor and her audience both laughing by witty remarks in the intervals of the demonstration of her voice work, on which she has spent 18 months of hard study and practice. She gave a short address In Eng lish, which was followed by one In French at the request of Dr. E. J. Maure of Bordeaux. She then spoke in German and her enunciation and pronunciation were pronounced per fect in an tnree languages. Miss Keller was accompanied by Mrs. B. J. Macy and her presence went far toward demonstrating what a dumb person can do toward speak ing to the many scientists assembled there from aU over the world. The foreign members were much Im pressed by the way In which Miss Keller had mastered the difficulties of speech and pronounced this session of the congress the most profitable yet held. Miss Keller has been under In struction with Professor White of the Boston Conservatory of Music for more than a year. She will lecture this fall and In September will be gin the series at Schenectady, where she has been appointed on the public service commission of that city by Mayor Lunn.

SHEEP AND GOATS President Taft Divides Them in His First Speech Made Since He Accepted Ills Second Nomination. CANDIDATES ARE DISHONEST Who Stay on Republican Ticket and Vote Against It. He Puts Forth a 'Plea for a Fair Fight. Washington. Aug. 17. President Taft made his first political speech since the one .ha made when notified! of his renomlcatlon to the members of Maryland Republican Editorial asso- elation In the east room of the Whlt House. He declared bluntly that presidential electors were "dishonest men" if they let their names appear on the Republican ballot and Intended, to vote for the candidate of another party. He asserted that those wnor were not for the Republican party were e gainst It and should get out oft the way. "All we ask is a fair fight. A man cannot be in the Republican party and, in a third party at the same time, and' should be compelled to make his se- lection," said the president. "Regu- larity or feeling of regularity and re--' spect for the Republican party, for: what it has done, what it is capable of doing, Is going to bring over into the? Republican party many a man wbo-j has been doubtful, and it la going to' increase that number, in my Judgment,, as we approach, the election. It Jaw", therefore, essential that we make the cleavage as clear as it can be made, so that those who are Republicans' shall be Republicans, and those who are with the bolters shall bear their name and title and not be Republi cans and bolters, because they cannot be at least they ought not to be in all fairness- "We ought to have electors In each state bearing the emblem of the Re publican party, bearing the names of the candidates of that party for presi dent or vice president, at the head of the ticket, covering the electors who are going to vote for those names. If there are any men on that list who are not going to vote for the men at the head of that ticket, I don't hesi tate to say that they are dishor.fnt man, in that they are holding out to the people who are to vote for them an Implied promise that they will vote t -r the names on the ticket when they, in fact, intend to vote for somebody elf-e. I think that is just following tne plainest kind of principles of ordinary morals." To Force Issue In Maryland. Some of the editors told the presi dent that either the electors chosen for the Republican ticket in Maryland would declare their intention to sup port him or a new state convention would be held to make new selections. He said he felt sure Maryland would take long steps in the right direction. The president began his speech with a brief summary of what the Republi can party stands for. He said: "We are Republicans. That means that we believe in certain principles: that We believe in the constitution of the United States; that we believe la maintaining that constitution; thai, we believe in progress along the lines that constitution Indicates. We are pro tectionists and we are in favor of maintaining the present prosperity by maintaining a tariff system which, shall preserve business as it goes on now and shall secure as high wages as possible to the wage earners and a reasonable profit to those who invest their capital. Those two propositions cover a good deal of Republicanism. "Being a party, we are anxious to have the opinions that our party rep resents put into force in the operatic of the government. The only way wo can do that is by electing a congresa and a president who will carry them, out. Now, that means that we have to be a single party, and not a party of two carta I don't think we are unfair in asking that we be given a chance for a fair fight ana in counting those against us who are not with us. "To have a man on both sides of the fight when we are on one side is un comfortable, especially when he is be hind you. "Before the convention It Is all right that we should differ as to the men best qualified to represent us as Re publicans in carrying out the prin ciples of the party. But after the con vention eacn voter s innuence moaia carry its proper and proportionate weight in the election of the party's candidates." QUITS AIR FOR WIFE. Lieut.

The railroads serving Topeka have been generous in the way of furnishing wall maps, framed pictures, tariffs, i time tables, etc., for the use of the bureau. Rate Adjustments. Numerous rate adjustments have been made since the bureau began to operate. For example, there Is now a lower berry rate. Since July 1 the rate en berries, carloads, from southwest Missouri points to Topeka has been 54 cents per one hundred pounds while previous to that date the rates were 58 and 59 cents respectively. The less than carload rate (first class) is only 49 cents per one hundred pounds and is nine or ten "ents less than Topeka shippers have been paying in carload quantities. There is no item in the tariffs that seems to authorize the less than carload rate as a maximum for the- reason that a condition of that kind seldom arises. The question is being handled with the transportation lines and it is expected that the charges on past shipments will be reduced to the less than carload rate. There will probably be a change in the rate on molasses carloads. For merly a tank car of molasses weigh ing 80,000 pounds could be shipped to Kansas City and reshipped to Topeka at a saving of $16 per car. This fact was brought to light by the bureau, and the railroad companies have been re quested to re-adjust this- rate. Many cars of this commodity are handled in the course of a year by the Topeka shippers. "Returned Carrier" Rate. The bureau li attempting to arrange for a "return carrier" rate cn bagging and ties collected from bales of cotton linters, used In Topeka factories. With a low rate on this material it could be returned to point of origin of the cotton and used over again, but with the present rates on this com modity and the small .allowance made to the shippers it is unprofitable to handle It. About 5.000 pounds accum ulates monthly In Topeka. Topeka Traffic Truths Is the title of a new pub lication put out by the association for the members. Commissioner H. D.

CContl-iued from Page One.) a running mate, Waggener has A. J. White. It is war to the finish for Vinton Stillings and C. C. Goddard, who are opposing candidates for the senate in Leavenworth county. Goddard is a Democrat and made trouble for the Insurgents and the Republicans gen erally when he was in the house two years ago. As for Stillings his name is usually mentioned when people speak of Leavenworth. There is the Stillings rock road that is an ever lasting monument to the Leavenworth county patriot and then there are the fat appropriations for the Leaven worth county penai inaiiiutiuua auu score of other things that has made the Stillings name a household ar ticle in his home county. So Stillings and Goddard will fight it out on their home grounds this year. Sam Fltzpatrick Again. Another fight that is worth while will occur in Montgomery county when J. F. Overfield and Sam Fitzpatrick who was the head of the famous senate lodge. It was Fitzpatrick who smiled when hi-o enemies tied his interests with the interests of the Standard Oil com pany. Fitzpatrick is a most able lawyer and legislator. Then Overfield came on the scene four years ago. He sat quiet ly back In one corner, proved an atten tive listener, displayed a way of doing things without turning In a general fire alarm and went home with a good deal of legislation in the Interests of Montgomery county. Overfield himself is an oil magnate and the Standard Oil issue will probably not be raised in the campaign. Senator D. M. Bender, of Labette, may return. Bender Is something of a fixture. He owns a pleasant, soft pedal disposition and works overtime for the old soldier of whom he is one. Last session Bender wrote and offered the only resolution of the term concerning the Sulloway bill and Bender stayed by that resolution until it was either adopted or lost somewhere in a commit tee room. He also offered a measure concerning the killing of innocent birds. As for voting on the other fellow's measures, Bender exercised his own gcod Judgment and was never1 success fully classed with either faction. There is A. P. Elder, who came from Ottawa two years ago to help make laws in the house. So far as is known Elder never missed a roll call, voted for or against most of the bills under con sideration and made a record that pleased the Franklin county Democrats so well that they selected him for the vn cancy "Which Senator Ganse left when he moved to Emporia. Osage county was pleased with the work of J. H. Stavley In the four years ho was in the senate. So th Republi cans in that district have renominated him against H. G. Jumper a Demo crat. It was Stavley who two years ago devised the Idea of Cannonizing Lieutenant Governor Hopkns and Stav ley was chairman of the committee that named Mr. Hopkins' committee. Stav ley was also In the neighborhood when Hopkins' official rulings were twice overruled. The Ssage senator aUo voted against the I. and R against W. R. and the recall and the other choice remedies offered by the progres sives. Trontman for Shawnee. Shawnee county will this year present ex-Lieutenant Governor J. A. Troutman as a Repubican senatoral candidate, v.'hile the Democrats will offer Sam arDer well known and trusted by those who know him, but an entirely new and untried law maker. As for Troutman, he has been In the political game since away back In the Populist days and attained a wide reputation both as a lawyer and a. very wise man in politics. Washington county Republicans have nominated J. J. Veatch, a member of the 1911 legislature, while the Democrats will pin their faith on Samuel Clark editor of the Washington Palladium. The Chautauqua-Elk county Repub licans have renominated John T. Den ton, friend of the man with an over draft, and a stickler for the folks down on Deer creek. Aside from these things, the eentor from the Twenty-sixth dis trict, is a trusted, tried and true friend of everything that savors of progress and for four years conscientiously voted 1 Manaqua, United 6tates Marines Just landed, his sentiments whether anyone else liked it or not. Qnincy Coming Back. Senator Fred H. Quincy, of Saline, will probably return. Quincy has par ticipated In a good many law manu facturing sessions. He usually draws his accustomed seat two rows from the north and three seats back and begins operations. Being a banker himself, Quincy naturally feels that the Kansas bankers need a good bit of protection. So the chairmanship of the committee on banks and banking is his by right of early settlement and con stant possession. Lust session Quincy offered SO banking bills according to reports and 28 of them were unmer cifully murdered before the framer's horrified gaze. As a lawmaker, though. Quincy is regarded as one of the best men in the tenate and with the lone exception of Senator Porter knows more ways to revive an otherwise dead meas ure than any of the senators created in the last 20 yc-ars. Adjoining Quincy's district, 'lives A. B. Carney. Two years ago Carney gave satisfaction in the house. This year the Claud-Republic county Republi cans marked Carney for the senate and gave him the nomination without oppo sition. Emerson Carey In the Kingman -Pratt-Reno district was renominated without opposition. Carey is Hutchin son's millionaire salt packer, street railway manipulator and founder of most of the institutions of which the salt town is really proud.. Being rich, Carey plays politics because he likes it. For four years he did one of the best jobs of representing his district that has been accomplished In several sea Eons. It was Carey's zeal to land the state fair for himself and Hutchinson and to help the other fellow as he went along, that created the "pork barrel" scandal. Carey made himself unpopu lar in the governor's office early in his term and never strove to regain his standing. He voted against the pet things that the administration wanted the most and never apologized for thq fight he waged. AlthouKh Senator E. F. Porter was op posed for the renomination in Crawford countv. he won by nearly 1.000 votes in tho recent primaries. Porter is not only the dean of the Kansas senate, but Is rated as one of tho shrewdest and most cunning fighters the senate has encountered. AsiUo from his ability as a parliamentarian and a leader. Porter gets results. He gave Pittsburg its normal training school, he helped send the new school of mines ir.ii the coal belt and he put through the fight for the normal school divorce diu witn such spirit that all of the administration forces were called on to help squelch the fire that porter hunt under tne Bmpona normal heads. So Porter will probably come back in recognition of former ser vice. The Able Senator Price. Francis C. Price, true enemy of Stubbs, is renominated by the Republicans in the Thirty-seventh district. It was JrTice, who on the opening day of the 1911 session remarked in a fight for the organization. "Who knows but that tomorrow our lieu tenant governor may be our governoi and I would consider It no calamity it such were to happen." That was Price. He fought the same way all through the session, made some enemies and many friends. As chairman of the judiciary committee, he blocked more foolish legis lation than any one other man. After do ing all this Price stood with Brewster, Reed, Stavely, Carey, Stewart and other regulars in the general disorganization of the progressive forces. Away out in the short grass country the Thirty-eighth, district Mayor E. E. Frizell, of Lamed, wants to come to tne senate and has been nominated by the .Re publicans in the district which includes IS counties. Frizell as mayor of Larned made good. Outside of politics, Frizell deals in wheat and is a successful farmer. But the Frizell way of doing things while mayor appealed to the western Kansas voters and now they want him Jn the leg islature, r There are many other men who will be candidates for the senate in the November election and perhaps some of the new hopes will sidetrack a few of the men who In past years have made the Kansas senate famous as a place where things happen. Betting Odda on Presidency. New Tork, Aug. 17. Odds on Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson fdr president wldeted today when 2 54 to 1 was of fered that he will be the next chief executive of the nation. Wall street talked a great deal but most betters seemed to prefer to wait for a few more details before risking any money. An offer to place $2,500 to $1,0jD0 that Taf twill not be re-elected was reported from the Broad street curb and $3,000 to $1,000 against Roosevelt's election. and President Adolf Diaz. PEACH JB, WIFE Drummer Takes "Slant" at His Friend's "Baby Doll." Finds Her His Loving and Faithful Spouse Two Shows. Kansas City, Aug. 17. "Say, man, she's a peach!" And it developed that she was that. Two traveling salesmen, not the kind of the old days who told such weird yarns to the natives, but the modern Alfred Benjamin variety, fell in with each other In Ottawa, Kan. As they rode the Santa Fe into Kansas City they discussed everything from Bull Moose to metaphysics. Of course they wound up on the subject of woman. Traveling salesman No. 1 extolled the virtues of a "baby doll" he had met In Kansas City. She was going to a show with him that night. And then he said: "Say, man, she's a peach." "Slants" at the "Doll." The second traveling salesman was something of a Don Juan himself. In fact, he was coming back to the city a day ahead of time to keep an en gagement with somo of the fruit with a saccharine flavor. Next day his beautiful and faithful wife would see him enter the front door overjoyed at returning to his fireside and, of course, fatigued ..-ith several days' hard work cut In the provinces. "Old man," said salesman No. 1, "stroll down io the Blank theater this evening and I'll let you take a slant at my doll." Sure, No. 2 would stroll down. Strolling was his long suit. Previous to keeping his engagement No. 2 strolled down to the Blank the ater and waited. In a few minutes talesman No. 1 ca?ne along, bat, hully gee, nine rah's and a basket of cats, the bloomin' salesman No. 1 was with the wife of salesman No. 2. There were Two Shows. Should he create a scene? Should he emit a yell? Should he shoot his erst while friend? What should he do, anyhow? Ah, he bad it. He waited until salesman No. 1 bought his tickets, then he stepped up and said: "Let me see your tickets." Unsuspectingly traveler No. 1 handed out the tickets. "Thank you," said salesman No. 2. "This is my wife you have. I'll take her to the show on these tickets." And he did. They say the show at Blank theater was a good one last night. But the show staged in the home of salesman No. 2 will not be criticised by the the atrlcal editor. The divorce proctor will attend to thai. MARKET REPORT. Listless Movement Does Not Prevent Good Prices. New Tork, Aug. 17. Stocks moved narrowly and often listlessly in the course of the week, with occasional In dications of increased public interest. Advances were Invariably followed by realizing sales, with resultant setbacks which left quotations practically un changed. At best prices, however, the general average was the highest of the year.- IncideVally. a few of the more lm pcrtant issues, including United States Steel, attained their highest prices for that period, while Canadian Pacific made a new record in connection with the proposed stock Increase, which probably involves "rights." Louisville Nashville was strong on rumors of an impending "melon" with concurrent strength in Atlantic Coast Line. Hill and Harriman shares failed to make much upward progress despite favor able crop prospects, but grangers were generally better, with some demand for Eries and certain of the Gould group. Coppers were the mainstay of the in dustrial department, the belief prevail ing that another advance in the metal Is likely. Later equipment shares par ticipated moderately.

J O'DAY DREAMS. One night Sir Hennery O'Day or son-e- tima rudely known as Hank Dreamed that he lay in happy death, his soul one with the spectral rank; And where St. Peter holds the key, he stood beside the pearly gate And saw beyond where streets of gold and countless pennants lay in wait- St. Peter came. "Who knocks," he cried "and seeks admittance to our craft? What record stands against your name to show that you are worth the draft? What medals dangle from your breast as one among the brave and bold. To show that you have earned the right to play upon a harp of gold?" "For twenty years," Sir Hank replied, "1 wore the blue blouse of an ump Where Griffith sneered and Evers roarea and John McGraw was on the Jump: For twenty years, from fading youtn to middle arte I stood the test Until I thought the time had come to seek a respite and a rest. "And then?" St. Peter said. "And ther,' continued Hank, "I looked about Before I doffed the mask for good' and eased on from tne daily rout: For twenty years an ump, and now, wit a reason shattered and in shrftds- On top of that for seven months, I've been tne boss of Herrmann a Reds. The great key creaked within the lock, the gate of pearl swung deep and wide The chorus of a thousand harps came echoing in strumming tide; Until above the welcohie roar St. Peter's message broke the spell; "Come, enter in O blighted soul You've overstayed your time in hell." Grantland Rice. THIS PITCHER NOT TO QUIT PULPIT Richmond, Va., Aug. 17. Emmett Key Ferryman is not going to let the lure of success as a twirler in" the big league baseball interfere with his cler ical ambitions. Emmett Key Ferryman. Ferryman is the youngster who was imported into Virginia baseball circles from Georgia last season by the Dan ville club. This year he is playing with Kicnmona and if all goes well he will Join McGraw's Giants at the close of the Virginia season early in Septem ber. He was recently sold to that ag gregation for $1,000. He is a big, rangy chap, with worlds of speed and when given proper support usually wins ms game. Yes, I am going with McGraw." he said today, "but that won't keep me from finishing my course at Emory college, Oxford, Ga. I have already had two years there, and unless the unexpected happens I'll return to col lege in October and capture a Ph. B. next spring. Then, if McGraw thinks I am still worth something to him I'll be ready to accommodate him. However, I propose to teach a cou pie of years or so during the winter Reasons, and then I'll probably go over to Vanderbilt, at Nashville, to prepare myself for the Metnodist ministry. What will happen- after that, I can't say just now. I always did want to be a preacher, and I believe I'd make something of a go at the calling." ferryman is the son cf the late James L. Ferryman of Rockport, Ga., member of the North Georgia confer ence for many years. Since entering college, he has developed marked tal ents as an orator and debater and also as a student. Baseball has always been his favor ite sport, and when not twirling for the Emory aggregation he put in most of his spare time playing semi-profes sional ball In different parts of the Cracker state until he came to Vir ginia.. JONES BUYS THREE. Former Comiskey Players Are Paid for, Jones Says. Lincoln. Aug. 16. President Jones of the Lincoln ball club today an nounced the purchase of Catcher Thomas Carney, First Baseman Chas. Mullen and Shortstop Martin Berg hammer from the Chicago Americans. The men have been members of the Lincoln team this season, having been loaned to the club. SMALT BITS OF SPORT Hiawatha, Kan.. Aug. 16. Mink league results: At Shenandoah, Iowa Auburn 6; Hiawatha, 2.

Frpnk Campbell, of Waukee, la., won the Great Western handicap for amateu marksmen at the closing day of the Great Western interstate shoot here. Campbell broke 94 out of 100 targets. A gold watch and 1250 in cash wen; to the winner. W. H. Herr, professional, of Guth rie, was high gun for the three days' ehooting, with a score of 295 out of a possible 300. Chicago, Aug. 17. Motor boat own ers were busy today "tuning up" their entries for the American champion ship free-for-all for the 322,000 Wil liam Wrigley, jr., trophy and the con test for the 11,000 William Hale Thompson prize for the first boat that attains a speed of fifty miles an hour. Phillip Mayer, the come back kid, formerly of Topeka. is playing good ball for a semi pro team en the coast. His team is the K. T. O. aggregation. He plays first. Borton's recall by Chicago doesn't strengthen the position of the St. Jos eph club in the Western League race. The first sacker is easily the star Drummer. But that is the way when you hold players under an optional contract. Borton could have made good last spring according to big leaguers who watched him, had he tried to make good. Just what sort of ball player it is who wants to keep out of the big show is beyond us but Borton laid down. It got him in bad. Maybe an other' year will see him changed in his opinion of not wanting to go higher. Guess Gagnier was the Indianapolis detective who spied on the player who were not observing training rules. He has been sent to the Neward, In ternational League club. It doesn't take a long squint to see where the Links are to pass Wichita soon if both teams go on playing as they have. The writer would like tc see the Witches get somewhere. This one thing which we agree with the sport writers of the Windy Princess upon. But there seems to be little chance. Marty Berghammer, the nifty Lin coln shortstop, is back on the line again. Berghammer is not only a crack infielder but he is one of the few men who have nerve enough to wear a name like that on the diamond. Connie Mack blames the auto for the poor showing his team has made. For a man with a name like his the M. A. Low of baseball makes some foolish statements. If he will chaperone the auto parties given by his players he will And the gas cart Is not the cause. It's what goes in the cars with the players that causes the trouble. Just to help along the friendly feel ing between Rourke and Holmes, Ducky has secured a pitcher whom Rourke was angling for. Anent the big league stuff, you don't need very powerful glasses to sight Pittsburg in the offliig. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 and we'll see the rejuvenated Kaws in action. Let's all see them. There's a lot of talent new to local fans on the team. Let's slip the man agement a little silver encouragement for the trying, even if it does come late Wonder if the luck at Omaha har changed any since- the last time the Kaws were there. You feel sore over the showing of the ball team of course, but what if you lived In New York? 1 If it had rained in Chicago a lot of people would have felt better. Can't think of anything but Cubs-Giants thing so. let's quit. the Manager Hendricks of the Grizzlies is tossed a mighty nice bunch by W. A. Phelon, an eastern sport writer of re nown. Here is what Phelon has to say of the hustling manager of the Griz zlies: "When the Boston Red Sock took O'Brien and Hagerman, the Denver pitchers, it was figured that Denver would be down and out, and that Jack Hendricks wouldn't do much in the Western League this season. It will be noted, however, that John hovers at the tcp again, and is now the most lively candidate for the pennant honors that were his in 1911. Some manager, this mari. Toss him into any league, with any material, and up he comes from the ruck in speedy time. They are "dippy" about him in Denver and pay him a lot of money to sojourn otherwise, he might be winning battles in big league company. Sioux City Tribune: Harry Chapman, considered one of the best catchers in the Western League this year, who has been playing with Topeka until recent ly, today reported to the Sioux City club. Chapman is loaned to the Pack ers for the remainder of this year. He is owned by the Chicago Nationals.

Orndorff is a good man for the backstop position and will find little trouble in landing with some other minor league team. Chapman and Walter Cadman will finish the season together in the catch ing department. Topeka let Chapman go simply be cause the policy of the Kaws for the re mainder of this season is to cut down on expenses, which resulted in the re lease of several of the high salaried players. Chapman has been performing in good shape all this season and his services on the local team will add con siderable strength. Lincoln Star: Ducky Holmes has a hankering to pull off a Garrison finish and cop the pennant in the final dash to the wire. He has borrowed Catcher Chapman from Topeka and Is burning the wires with messages in quest of pitching strength, the lack of which has hampered the Sioux City Indians all season.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL AUGUST 17, 1912 PARTY JOUNCIL That August 27 Gathering of Republican Leaders. Building Platform May Be Like Another Tower of Babel. TUFT OB ROOSEVELT, WHICH? One or the Other Candidate Must Be Endorsed. Then the State Ticket's Safety Must Be Considered. There will be many embarrassing and complicated situations for the Republican party council to overcome when it meets in Topeka Tuesday, Au gust 27. It must repudiate the stand of the Kansas Republicans in the prl maries of August 6 and cling to the old principles of the party. Or, it must abandon the national policies of the Republican party, as written in the Chicago convention, and go before the people with a so-called Republi can ticket and a stamp of approval on every word in a third party platform and encouragement for third party candidates. Or it must endorse Roose velt Republican nominees. This situation is not causing a sea son of rest and thanksgiving among the politicians. They are worried and admit it. Neither the Progressives nor the Regulars have announced their plan of procedure in the party council. But both sides admit that it is almost Impossible for the two rad ical factions of the Republican party in Kansas to agree -on a- policy that will materially aid in a Republican victory in November. In the first place the Republicans of both factions are anxious to know if Congressman Jackson intends to carry out his recent threat. Jackson will sit in the meeting that will build a state Dlatform and Jackson will nave voice in the proceedings. Recently Jackson declared that he would urge the placing of the names of Roosevelt and Johnson at the head or me ite publican ticket in Kansas. Will he do it? Suppose Mr. Jackson should carry out this threat, would the party coun cil endorse Roosevelt and Johnson in their resolutions? If so, what would be said about Taft and Sherman? How would Stubbs and Jackson and White and Allen, who endorsed Taft and Sherman four years ago and said nice things about their candidacy, ex plain their failure-to mention this year the men who executed the policies they stood for in 1908? And again, will the platform adopt ed by the Republican convention in Chicago in June be adopted by the Kansas Republicans? Or. will the Kansas Republicans incorporate the new hopes to be found in the platform of the Progressive party? i Suppose the party council smiles fav orably on the Progressive platform and suppose it endorses Roosevelt and Johnson and votes to forget all about Taft and Sherman and the troubles of the national committee in Chicago last June? Which national committeeman from Kansas- will then be given a seat in the council? Wilf the council reverse itself and give a place in the meeting to Fred E. Stanley.' who from all out ward appearances is the Republican national committeeman from this state; or will the council consistently follow its progressive tendencies and give the scat to William Allen White, a Republi can and national committeeman for the Progressive party? And again, will William Allen White, who has followed the progressive teachings in his every day life, appear at the convention and assist in drafting the resolutions whether he is or is not alloted a place in the council? White wrote the reso lutions for the party council In 1910. Then, again, what will the Republi can regulars do and say if the Pro gressive theories are injected in the Kansas platform? Will the regulars, who have cried long and loud for a chance to vote for Taft and Sherman in the November election, quietly swal low the medicine? Or will these same regulars walk meekly but resolutely out of the convention and bolt every Pro gressive on the state ticket? And if this feeling of Taft-Sherman loyalty extends to the 56,000 or 57,000 Repub licans who voted for Curtis in the state wide primaries, will either the Taft Republicans or the Roosevelt electors eweep the state next fall? Will the regulars obediently walk to the polls and vote for Roosevelt who was once nominated by a Republican convention or will they make no uncertainty of the job and vote for Wilson? These are a few of the real conditions that are staring the leaders in Kansas politics squarely in the face. To yield to the Regulars and to re move the Roosevelt electors from the Republican column in November would be for the Progressives to deny their argument in the recent primaries when they convinced a majority of the Republicans who voted in the pri maries that the Tart nomination was stolen? And to leave the Roosevelt electors on the Republican ticket un der the Republican emblem, would the Taft Republicans vote for these candidates? So, there you are. It is entirely up to the men who sit in the party coun cil to decide these matters. It will likely be no small task and there will be some spicy remarks from the lead ers in the two factions. The council will be expected to find a nice, straight and narrow path that will promote harmony and insure success in the November election and add strength to the party organization in the state. To accomplish this pur pose, what course will the council pursue? EXPECTS WHIPPINGS. "IIe-s My Husband.. Isn't He?" She Demands of Judge. Oakland, Cal., Aug. 17. "He's my husband, Isn't he?

Driren to New Home Without Incident Joshua Happy. The herd of buffalo at Gage's park has been moved to new quarters. Fri day afternoon the buffalo were driven to the southwest corner of the park, where they hve a ten acre paddock, sl ade trees, tender grass, sweet clover, a cool wallow, and everything to delight their hearts. According to E. B. Stotts the buffalo held a special session last evening and offered a vote of thanks to the commissioners for their new quarters. The change was made In hail an hcur. Six men drove the eleven ani mals like a herd of cattle, and 'the march was accomplished with tease. One calf, loath to leave her old quarters, galloped back to the corral, but saw the error of her ways and rejoined her brothers. Upon reaching their glorious new home they broke ranks and started a tour of investigation. Old Joshua, head of the herd, and one of the largest ani mals in the United States, raced about the field, examined every cranny, and spotted the one weak stick in the fence. He butted hopefully, but the pole held, and he trotted dejectedly away to his wallow. The field is enclosed in a stout fence of woven wire six and one-half feet high. It has taken three weeks to com plete it. Topekans will breathe a sigh of satis faction now that the herd is comfort ably housed. There has been much com plaint about their old quarters. "Not large enough," worried the people, "and not enough shade." It really seems as if the buffalo should be given special attention. Kansas is one of their old favorite haunts, and it is not every city that can boast a herd of buffalo, for the king of the plains, as everyone knows, is fast disappearing. No one can complain of the new quarters for they meet expectations in every way. THE ST. MARYSlACES North Central Kansas Circuit Opens Next Week. St. Marys, Kan., Aug. 17.

SCORE BRASS BANDERS Suppression of Vice With Blare of Trumpets Held Impossible. Philadelphia, Aug. 17. Spectacular raids on haunts of vice by the police are severely criticised by the August grand, jury in its final presentment here. The jury.found that "this policy of suppression has been a failure, while it depreciates the value of nroperty in the district and is de structive to business." Hence there can be but one construction placed upon this primitive method for the eradication of the social evil, and that it is a valu able adjunct to the secret system ex isting between the underworld and the police establishment whereby the for mer is compelled to yield to the latter its tribute for protection, and thus MAD DOG CrS(rt l- p SL i-Z I II1T14.

The price of melons should take a slump in the next few days. The Shawnee Agency paid $25,700 for a portion of Broadmoor addition on the East side. The sale was re ported in the State Journal a week ago today, but the price was not stipulated. The price of beef is still soaring. Good porterhouse steak retails at 30 cents a pound. Mutton is the onJy meat that has not advanced in price, and consequently the j demand for sheep flesh is growing. Tomatoes have doubled in price In the past two weeks. They are now selling at 40 cents a basket. The dry weather of the first part of the month injured the plants. The recent rains will help the crop, however.. Commissioner Miller has received preliminary specifications for the new 45,ooo pump located three miles west of town. The pump belongs to the state plant, and has a caoacitv of s.uuu.uuu gallons of water a day. Down in a certain district in Okla homa the farmers are selling peaches at 15 cents a bushel, and some of them are even feeding the fruit to the hogs. In Topeka it is necessary to pay as nign as ?1.50 for the best grade of peaches. Who makes the profit is a question that might be asked. Topekans are depending largely on Colorado vegetables nowadays. There are some good local vegetables on the market, however. Egg plants are sell ing at 10 cents each. Sweet corn brings from 10 to 15 cents a dozen, according to quality. Tomatoes are not so plentiful as they were two weeks ago. The Commercial club has had print ed 5,000 envelopes that bear on the reverse side municipal information of a varied character. The publicity committee which is responsible for the envelopes will urge the local merchants to use the Topeka informa tion on the backs of the envelopes they send out to customers. C. H.

Peaches now range in price from 75 cents to $1.50 a. bushel. Home grown cantaloupes sell at 5 cents each and two for 15 cents. Next week the Colorado cantaloupes should be plentiful.

After completing: his apprenticeship he worked for some time in the same foundry, during- which time he con tinued to educate hlmseil Dy uena ing night schools and studying tech nical books with the aid of tutors who became interested in him. Mr. Jacobe displayed an aptituJe for mechanical matters at an early age, and, being of an ambitious and energetic temperament, he realize! that he could not secure the extensive education he desired while remain ing In one place, so, at the age of IS. he secured a position as machinist in the United States gunshop in Wash ington, D. C, and later he passed suc cessfully an examination permitting him to enter the engineering depart ment of the navy. This permitted him to secure an ex tensive education in the design, con struction and performance of marine engines, and for several years he was engaged in the testing of marine ma chinery. Leaving marine work, ho entered the service of the Sprague Electric company, and he later was with Crocker Wheeler, also electri cal manufacturers, which service gave him a valuable education with elec trical machinery. He next secured employment as tool designer with R. Hoe Co., of New York, manufacturers of printing .presses and general newspaper ma chinery. Having thus secured mechanical experience of an unusually wide range, which fitted him for a position In a supervising capacity, he became in 1899 general manager of the Vul can Engineering company of New York, engaged in general repair work! and the building of stationary and marine machinery. This position he was forced to give up on accout of his wife's ill health, and he left JSTew York for the purpose of finding a better climate. This change led him Into railroad work, and In 1900 he entered the ser vice of the Burlington railroad as a machinist. In this work his natural talent, as well as his thorough educa tion in mechanical matters, made it self evident and enabled him to ad vance rapidly. He successively filled the position of toolroom foreman at the Burlington shops in McCook,-Neb.. Sheridan, Wyo., and Hannibal. Mo., during which time he made e. study of railroad shop meth ods and practices. In 1903 he became shop demonstrator for the Union Pacific at Omaha, and a few months later he was appointed general shop demonstrator for the same road, having supervision over all shop methods and practices in the repair shops. In this work he was eminently successful and he ably demonstrated the fertility of the railway field for the introduction of improved tools and shop methods. In 1904 he was offered the positlo: of engineer of shop methods on the Santa Fe system, and his record in ihiit capacity was such that, ta De cember, 1906, he was appointed assist ant superintendent of motive power, in this capacity he was given entire su pervision over shop tools and machine' ry, shop methods and practices and the continuance of the differential wage payment system inaugurated by Har rlngton Emerson. Mr. Jacobs' wide range of experience, his thorough edu cation in mechanical matters, his un tiring energy, coupled with his pleas ing personality, enabled him to secure far greater results in this work than had been anticipated. Through his efforts the toolrooms in all the shops of the Santa ire were re organized and placed on a more satis factory basis. Standards for all tools were developed, and the manufacture of these tools was concentrated at one point for the purpose of securing high er efficiency and economy. He developed the efficiency system of wage payment and extended the sys tern to include many more branches than those originally intended. He also introduced many improve ments of far reaching value in the standardizing of locomotive parts and In the standardizing of shop methods and developed an efficient system of mechanical ard locomotive performance records. While these achievements are in themselves a remarkable record for man not yet 38 years of age, he has. attained honors in other fields. While devoting his time and' atten tion assiduously to his chosen vocation his views concerning the organization and operation of railway shops, em bodied in articles which appeared from time to time in various mechanical and technical lournels, earned for him a well merited reputation as an author. These papers, reflecting a fund of val uable information gleaned from obser vation and practical experience in me chanical matters, were published late in book form e.s "Betterment Briefs" by John Wiley Sons and have serv ed to place his name among the fore most writers on mechanical subjects. Not content with these attainments. Mr. Jacobs' prolific imagination and persistent investigation led him to produce a number of improved mechan ical devices, the most notable being t sectional nonexplosl m firebox, a gaso line track repair and inspection car and a locomotive superheater. He also has been foremost in the development of the oxyacetylene method of auto genous welding. At present he holds some 28 patents granted mm by ine United Slates and foreign governments Thus Is It seen that it Is up to the man himself today Just as In former times to makj of himself a success or a derelict, and the young man of todaj has the edge on his father and his grandfather in thla regard.

In the First State bank building In Norton there are three pictures hanging on the walls that tell the story of early times In Norton county. They are views of sod houses, built in the early '80's.

The owner has 640 acres of good. well improved lands; well stocked with norses, cattle and hogs. Another "soddy" was the" home of Alfred Smith. This picture was tak en Just as1 the lady of the house was preparing to hang out a washing. The third picture Is that of th Nor ton county pioneer, J. C. Brown. Th.s, too, seems to convey the thought that the days of the sod house in Nortn county brought forth more suns'hine than darkness. j They are few and scattered now, and in their places there have been erected more commodious frame, stone and: brick residences- BOOK NOTES.

THE TOPEXA DAILY STATE JOUENAL AUGUST 17, 1912 BIG ROVBEGINS State School Fund Commission Demands Legal Leyy. County Clerk Returns Leyy to Board of Education. HE WRITES SCORCHING LETTER Bad Faith and Ignorance Conditions Charged. of False Statements Declared to Hare Been Made. There will be no tax levy for the board of education extended on the tax rolls this year unless the board makes a levy "for general fund, building fund, interest fund and sink ing fund that will be legal in every respect," according to the ultimatum of County Clerk Samuel G. Zimmer man, issued today. The ultimatum was in the form of a letter to .he board of education, written by the clerk, with which the certification of the school levy, received by the cleik yesterday, was returned. Zimmerman declares that the levy for general pur poses maliciously plans a deficit, and that the same is true of the building fund levy, both of which he says are In violation of law. The sinking fund provided for in the board's levy is a misnomer, the clerk says, and means nothing at all. making no provision If or taking care of an immense bond s sue, part of which falls due nearly ev- iery year for the next 15 years, when line entire amount of over halt a mil lion dollars Is due, I In his letter to the board the coun- ity clerk refers to a conversation w.'th Judge W. E. Atchison, a member of -he board, and Clerk M- C. Holman of (Xlie board, had last night. In talking of the matter he declares the article from Holman that appeared In the State Journal yesterday afternoon, was tsrltten by Holman at the request of Judge Atchison. Holman naving toia ihim so last night. He declares he was willing to tnlco the reSDOnsibilitv for making the levy for a sinking fund if the board "lacked the moral courage to make It, but that now he will insist upon the levy being made in every way legal before it will be extended on the rolls. If the levy is not made legal, there will be no extension and no mon ey to pay the running expenses of the Topeka schools for the current year. He Tells the .Whole Story. In his letter Zimmerman goes over former conversations between himself and members of the board, and makes public in a copy of the letter given herewith many things that heretofore have only been hinted at. He charges the clerk of the board, Holman, with an attempt to "Justify and even popu larize its illegal conduct by the puDli rniinn n f false statements," when he declares Holman "frankly admits that he does not know" a number of things with which his statement had to deal, but "in fact has no interest whatso ever in the matter except that his statement was prepared at the re quest of Judge Atchison, a member of the board." Zimmerman's "plea for a number of years has been to provide a sinking fund for the payment of bonds. Last year, according to his own statement and that of members of the board, he urged that something ought to be done. But because- there was a big Increase in the city and county tax rate, making the total levy a record breaker, he says he did not feel like making the levy heavier. This year, with prosperity in the air and a ma terial reduction in the city and county levies, he insists that something be done. Even then he declares he was willing to take the responsibility of extending the levy for a sinking fund, but he declines to permit the board to levy an insufficient amount for other funds. Ready for Court Fights. "If they want to fight it out in the courts," Sam says, "they are weU come." The board has until August 25, or Just next week, in which to make the levy, or refuse to make it, to come .within the law. Zimmerman's letter follows: "To the Board of Education. "Gentlemen: On July 24th, 1912, In line with my duty as county clerk of Shawnee county, I called upon Prof. Starr, superintendent of the Bchools of the city of Topeka, to dis cuss the question of tax levy for the board of education for the year 1912, and suggest that the board must clear up the floating indebtedness warrants stamped 'Not paid for want Df funds' and drawing six per cent in terest) which had been created in di rect violation of law, contrary to the recommendations of the finance com mittee of the board, and over the per sonal and official protest which I en- tered at the time the board made its tax levy for the year 1911; also to in dicate to what extent the county clerk would insist upon the board taking care of its bonded indebtedness. "At that meeting Prof. Starr and myself went over the whole situation very carefully and we agreed per fectly upon this, that the levy for the general fund must be ample to pay the large deficit of the year 1911, and take care of the estimates for tha year 1912, after making due allow ance for uncollected taxes: also that the levy for building fund must be ample to pay the heavy deficit of the year 1911 and take care of the esti mates for new buildings to be erect?d during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913. after making due allowance for uncollected taxes. No Plan to Pay Debt. "On one point only did we disagree that of making a levy for sinking fund. I called attention to the fact that the present bonded indebtedness of the board is $529,661.00, more than one per cent of the total assessed val uation of the taxable property of t district; that all of this vast sum s payable within the next fifteen years: that to date absolutely no provision had been made for any part of" it; that the average annual levy now nec essary to raise this sum by the date of expiration of the last bond would be $35,311.00, and that this amount would increase proportionately every year that the board neglected, failed or refused to create a sinking fund. "I called particular attention to the fact that bonds aggregating $41,700 would be due and payable out of the 1912 taxes, and suggested that the board should take care of these bonds by making a levy of nine-tenths of I mill on the dollar for sinking fund. Prof. Starr offered no business solution of the problem and suggested no legal way to avoid extending such a tax. but Intimated that he would prefer to have the county clerk assume the responsi bility of making such a levy under a llatute which gives him that authority. FATALITIES AKD MISFOHTUHES PURSUE OCCUPANTS OF MISSOURI DWELLIG; SUPERSTITIOUS BLAME GYPSY'S RESTLESS SPIRIT isav sssw. ji- m Houm near St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 3. The restless spirit of a gypsy slain 20 years ago by a rival in a quarrel over the affections of a girl of the clan, is blamed by the superstitious of the neighborhood for a series of fatalities and misfortunes which have occurred to tho occupants ol a house near St. Joseph. Death after death has occurred there until the man who braves the "curse" which is supposed to haunt it and moves his family into the house is regarded with awe and shunned by the neigh bors. The latest of these tragedies is the death within a week of each other of the two little children of D. Noon- The county clerk ir.sisted that the statute plainly makes it -the imperative duty of the board to make such a levy but agreed that if the board lacked the moral and business courage to do its plain duty in the matter the county clerk would personally assume the re sponsibility of extending the sinking fund 'levy, providing that the board would take care of the floating indebt edness of the general fund and the building fund, but insisted that no levy would be extended that failed to make such provision. Within a few days after my long conference with Prof. Starr, I. had a long talk with Judge W. E. Atchison, then chairman of the finance commit tee of the board, along the same lines and with the same understanding, and we have discussed the subject at least half a dozen times since then. I have each time cited the fact that this is the opportune time to make such a levy inasmuch as the city levy and county levy are to b reduced this year, giving the board of education an opportunity to take care of some of its bonds with out materially Increasing the total tax levy of the city as compared with last year and in a year of business pros perity such as is not guaranteed for the future. Board Fears Responsibility, r. i "I supposed the board of educa'tio: end county clerk were working in per fect harmony, trying to handle a criti cal business situation with as little em barrassment as possible to all concern ed, and the county clerk even hoped that the board would do its full duty by making the levy suggested for sink ing fund. He certainly had a right to expect that the board would 'get in the clear" on its floating debt and at least allow the county clerk to assume the responsibility, unhampered, of mak ing the sinking fund levy which the board admits should and must be made but which it is afraid to assume the responsibility for. "After having a tacit understanding with the chairman of the finance com mittee of the board (who should have been able to speak with authority) that the tax levy for the year 1912 would be handled as outlined above, he county clerk was astonished to Pnd that the board boldly advertised the fact that it created a deficit in its general fund and its building fund during the year 1911 and deliberately proposes to continue those deficits for the year 1912, and even attempts to prevent the county clerk from protect ing the bonded indebtedness by resort ing to the thin subterfuge (absolutely unwarranted by law) of calling its in terest fund an interest and sinking fund. Knows IJttlo of Business. To add insult to injury, when the board finds itself justly criticised for its illegal and unbusinesslike way of handling the tax levy, it admits (by published interview of the former chairman of its finance committee) that the county clerk is justified in his every suggestion and insistence, and at the same time attempt" to justify rnd even popularize its illegal con duct by the publication of false state ments prepared by its clerk, who frankly admits that he does not know of his own knowledge what the an nual interest charge on bonds amounts to. cannot tell within $5,000 what nmount of unpaid warrants are out standing carrying 6 per cent interest, would not care to publish a statement showing the interest paid annually for a period of years on unpaid warrants :snd attempt to justify it as good busi ness, knows .very little about the law on the subject, and. in fact, has no interest whatsoever in the matter ex cept that his statement was prepared at the reauest of Judge Atchison, a member of the board. "The certriticate of levy is respectful ly returned herewith, with the request that the board make a levy for gen eral fund, building fund, interest fund, and sinking fund that will be legal in Vory respect, and certify the same to the county clerk not later than August 25, 1912. Very respectfully. "S. n. ZIMMERMAN. Co. Clerk." RABBIT DITCHES GAR, Party Thrown From Auto "Jack" Dies. When Dover, Colo, Aug., 17.

Sticher, editor of the Osage City Public Opinion, is the. first Pro gressive to endorse the plan to promote harmony among the-warring factiop in the Republican party. Sticher this week went on record favoring the plac ing of Taft electoral candidates on the Republican ballot In the November election. While in Topeka Sticher declared that he favored the placing of the Roose velt electoral candidates In the In dependent column and the giving of the right of way in the Republican column to the Taft followers. This plan would likely aid in promoting good will and fellowship among the political leaders who have been at war since the Chicago convention in June. It would also do awa with the action now pending in the United States su preme court and permit the Kansas voters to choose between Wilson, Roose velt or Taft in the November fight. As the situation now stands, unless the United States supreme court should order the names of the Roose velt electoral candidates removed from the Republican ballot- they would oc cupy this space, as they received the popular majority over the Taft candi dates in the state-wide primaries. Fail ure to order these names off the bal lot, it is claimed, would disfranchise thousands of Kansas Republicans whe desire to vote for the re-election of Taft. Now Stioher, appears with an JOM have oocurrwL and things turned out so badly that Hudnell killed himself. So did Charles Higby, although the motive has never become known. The next tenant and his hired hand met death under a train on their way to town. 111 luck has marked everj venture undertaken by those who have lived in the house. Broken legs, accidental gunshot wounds, paralysis, illness and poor crops have featured the residence of others. The house is vacant now because after spinal meningitis had claimed his two children, Noonan took the re-, mainder of his family and speedily moved out. olive branch and it is claimed that his proposal is being seriously considered. "The late primary has produced a very hard nut for some of the poli ticians to crack," said Sticher. "Before the primary the Roosevelt fellows were worrying how to stay on the primary ballot; now the Taft fellows are wor rying how to get back on the Novem ber ballot and stay there so that the Taft followers will have an opportunity to express themselves. I am frank tc say that I would be one Progressive who would be gla-i to give the Taft followers a chance to vote for their man. "I believe it would be a good plan tc let the Taft electors stay on the ticket and let the Roosevelt electors volun tarily take the independent column. No Republican cjuld tlwn say he had been disfranchised or be forced into a posi tion where he could not vote." THOSE ABSENT BALLOTS They Make a Flaw in the Machinery of the Election JLaw. The recent primary has brought to light several serious flaws in the law providing for ballots of absent voters which, it is believed, will have to be remedied or will make the law dangerous. One of tho worst flaws is that county clerks are ut terly unable to check up and verify the absent votes -returned to them where the voters claimed residence in the country precincts. In the city it is a comparatively simple matter. All the clerk has to do is to check up the names of the absent voters with the register in the office of the com missioner of elections to be sure that no body voted more than once, or that per sons did not vote who were not entitled to a franchise. But in the country districts it is different. In the last primary the votes of half a dozen absent voters who claimed resi dence in some rural precinct in Shawnea county were received. If the clerk dli not know the voters he had no way of ascertaining that they were genuine bal lots. It is pointed out that absent votes might be cast anywhere and everywhere over the state by men who claimed a rura: residence, and there would be no way to ascertain that the votes were genuit.e. And thus hundreds of bogus votes might be polled and counted without being de tected, or might make an endless amount of trouble to ascertain their validity. The counting of the votes of absent voters occasions a good deal of extra work at best, and is believed to amount to very little in the results of elections. But trie complications that have come to light are believed to make the law dan gerous in its application unless the flaws detected are remedied in some manner. foundIarTnason. Police Iiocated Lost Boy Through State Journal Story. Through an article that appeared in the State Journal Friday afternoon Sheriff Norton was able this morning to lecate Earl Nason, who left home in search of work Thursday. The boy, the sheriff learned, is working in a livery stable at Wakarusa, A restaurantkeeper there read the notice of the boy's dis appearance in the State Journal, and early this morning called Sheriff Nor ton to say the boy was working at Wakarusa. The boy, who is 13 yars old. Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Iason, 1315 West Fourteenth street. He had earned a little money once before by working on a farm, and started out Thursday to find work. His mother feared, when he did not return, that he had gone to the country in search of work, and was worried about him. She went today to Wakarusa to see him, and may allow him to remain at work until school opens. She was overjoyed at learning cf his whereabouts. LOCAL MENTION.

President Taft told callers today he intended to fight congress for the retention of the commerce court if it kept him in Washington all summer. He declared he would again veto the legislative executive and judicial appropriation bill if it came back to him containing the provision to abolish the court. Mr. Taft was aroused over reports that the Democratic house leaders planned to retaliate for his veto by refusing appropriation for the coun selor for the state department, the bu reau of trade relations and other ad juncts, of the department which the president considers of immense im portance to interests engaged in for eign trade. Two Republican senators, Smoot and Sanders, assured the president that the senate might pass the bill as reported to the house yesterday but they were confident it would not pass over a second veto- Those who talked with the president In the White Horse offices today quoted him as saying he could listen to no offers of compromise on the bill and must do his duty as he saw it. President Taft ha3 not decided wheth er hi will approve the Panama canal bill as agreed to by the senate and house conferees. The president told friends today that the free tolls pro vision of the bill might prove a serious embarrassment to the United States and that he was not sure he could sign the bill in that shape. Mr. Taft favors an amendment which in effect would permit other nations tc test the free tolls provision by suits in United States courts He was told by Senator Simmons today that it proba bly was too late to attach such an amendment to the bill. The house rules committee today made a special rule which prohibits the raiding of any poitit of order against the measure. The bill will be consia- ered and probably passed by the house before adjournment today. This drastic action was taken because of opposition of last night when Representatives Olmstead and Moore of Pennsylvania contended that the conferees had gone beyond their Jurisdiction in accepting several senate amendments. WOMAN OFFICER. Ullian King Takes Oath and Assumes Police Star in Topeka. "I solmenly swear that I will sup port the constitution of the United States, the laws of the state of Kan sas, and discharge the duties of a po lice officer to the best of my ability, said Lillian A. Kin? Friday afternoon in the mayor s office. She thereby be came the first woman officer in the city of Topeka, and the proud possessor of a six-point star bearing the inscrip tion Special Policeman. s Mrs. King is state secretary of the Temperance union and chairman of the rescue committee of the .Florence Crittenden Mission. It is in the latter capacity that she expects to employ her new badge. Representatives from the Crittenden home are among the police force in many cities. There is one in Kansas City. "Most of the girls that come to us are not hardened," explained Mrs. King, "but occasionally we have a wayward woman; there may be a lime when an arrest, made quietly and un ostentatiously, will be of the greatest service. I expect to use my authority simply In the discharge of my duties for the home. "Of course, I haven't had a chance to use it yet," she remarked, "but I'll let you know my first experience. I was editor and owner of the Plainville Gazette for thirteen years, end am still interested in newspaper work." LIKE THE MIRACLES. George GateclifTs Fifteen Tomato Vines Yielded a Carload. Friends of George Gatecllft, of Arter and Belmont avenues, claim that he is the champion amateur gardener of Shawnee county and Kansas. Mr. Gatecllft set out fifteen tomato plants this spring. He has forgotten the number of busnels he has picked from them. Anyhow he has a sup ply of canned tomatoes to last his family for several years and he has furnished all his friends and relatives with all of this fruit that they had any use for. But although his tomato plants were stripped time and time again, they continued to bear in such profusion that the tomatoes were beginning to crowd his house off its foundation, so the other day he found it necessary to dig the plants up. Mr. Gatecllff also has a pepper plant that has no less than 701 pods on it.' Charley Parker, on the way to Oakland, is au thority for this statement. And next year Mr. Gatecllft proposes to train Bis water melon vines up the side of the house, so that when he wants a melon all he will have to do is reach out of the window and pick it- LIKE THE PHILOSOPHERS David lieahy Will Retire to St. Marys a Week for Rest. Dave Leahy, secretary to th9 governor; also Irishman and philosopher, like Aris totle, or Mlrza, is retiring from the world for a week. It was the custom of the ancient philosophers to withdraw them selves for a few days to the devotion of peace, rest and profound meditation. Leahy is following these examples. Leahy is leaving political activity, fights, fac tions, the rise and fall of the parties, and has betaken himself to the quiet vil lage of St. Marys. St. Marys is a head quarters for all Catholics in the state of Kansas, a gathering place for the cardi nals, priests, acolytes and the secretary to the governor. For a quiet week there will be rest, informal talKs, plenty of sleep, and enjoyment of an annual oc currence. Leahy will be there for the week. Good luck to you, Dave Leahy. Only don't stay too long, for the state house without you is like a shell without a pearl, or a glass of lemonade without a stick in it. State School Fond Trustees Take Hand In a letter to State Superintendent E. T. Fairchild today, the state school furd commission directs the state superintend ent to order the placing of the TopeKa school bond situation in a more safe and legal condition. Superintendent Fairchild is directed to immediately open corre spondence with the Topeka school board of education with a view of adjusting the trouble. It is made quite clear by the state school fund commission that It does no? approve of the manner in which the bonded indebtedness of the Topeka di- trlet has been placed. In real simple terms, the school fund commission would welcome the receipt of the money cover ing bonds issued by the Topeka district. If this money is not forthcoming, Supr- lntendent Fairchild Is authorixed to sug gest' to the Topeka board that it ehouli hasten to re-issue its bonds. And in this respect. It is made clear that the interest rate will be 5 per cent and not 4 per cent. -which, was enjoyed under the old issue. If the board of education does not dealre 1 to accept either of these terms, there is a third course presented. The board must i create a sinking fund to protect this in- j debtedness. Replying to the statement of Mr. Hol man, wherein he claimed the bond diffi culties had been adjusted with the state school fund commission, this commission begs to differ with Mr. Holman and lr forms Mr. Fairchild that no action has ever been taken. Now the matter is checked directly up to the school boar,l with instructions that it must act hastily THREE COUNTIES OUT. Chautauqua. Trego and Idnn Not Re ported to Secretary of State. Not until the official returns are received from Chautauqua, Linn and Trego counties will the secretary of state's office be able to compile the returns of the state-wide primaries of August 6.

Hugh P. Farrelly, who had 68 districts another today when Jewell reported. He Is also conceded the Chautauqua and Linn county legislative district, while inompson claims the Trego county dis trict. Unless the re-checking of votes ia counties with more than one legisla tive district, should show some change in favor of the Chanute man, the final vote between Thompson and Farrelly will probably stand, Thompson, 76; Farrelly, 71. In the Laughlin-Waters Democratic state treasurership fight, Waters made good gains yesterday when Wyandotte and Shawnee reported. Laughlin, how ever, was not overtaken and his lead can hardly be overcome in the counties yet to report. Returns from the 102 counties which have reported, show the following total vote in the Republican and Democratic senatorial contests: Curtis 57 773 Stubb, 57,443; Allen, 10,128; Bond, 7612 Farrelly, 19,161; Thompson, 17,817. With these figures, it is clearly indicated th it both Stubbs and Thompson will win their party nominations for the United States senate and will fall short of the pcpular majority in the state. Reports from Chawnee, Jewell, Reno and Sedgwick counties show the follow ing vote on United States senator: Shawnee county Curtis 4 3'2 Stubbs. 2,393; Allen, 431; Bond, 185 Farrelly, 608; Thompson, 861.

Even the apparently simple matter of inquiring the names of places is not so easy as one would think. When the first party, went, up the Mimika to Parimau they pointed to the huts and asked what the village was called; the answer given was "Tupue," mean ing, I believe, the name of the family who lived in the huts pointed at. For several months we called the place Tupue. and the name appeared In va rious disguises in the English news papers. When I was at Parimau, in July, it occurred to me to doubt the name of Tupue, which we never heard the natives use, so I questioned a man elaborately. Pointing in the direction of Wakatimi, I said in his language, "Many houses, Wakatimi," TOPEKA ElS GROWING I Why Shouldn't It?
