At Ottawa lie "Wanted Candi dates to Follow Electors. Roosevelt Bide stepped and dodged Kansas issues while in Topeka Satur day night and William Allen While, his national committeeman, apologet ically explained tht the Chief Bull Moose knew the situation only as his advisers told him and suggested that perhaps statements of Kansas affairs should be made by jroxy. That was after the interview was terminated, however, and Roosevelt was busily ex plaining the Third party cause to the crowd at the Grand opera house. H-i had made this significant state ment, however, at Ottawa during the afternoon: 'If we can't get our ticket on the ballot without having Taffs name over it. I trust that every Progressive can didate will get oft the ballot and out from under the Taft heading." It was after the speech at the Audi torium Saturday night when Roosevelt was urged to discus? Kansas condi tions. He had just finished his speech to the 5,000 people in the Auditorium and had escaped from the crowd j through a side door and with White as a pilot, landed safely in Governor Stubbs' private car. Stubbs himself was tangled up in the crowd, lost his hat and was late in reaching the Grand. Two reporters found a place on the Stubbs car and rode with Roosevelt and White to the Grand. "Bully, glad to see you," exclaimed Roosevelt as he shook hands with his reliable left in order to save his regu lar handshaking attachment. "Yes, oh yes," the Bull Moose lead er declared in response to a question, "Kansas seems natural the same old progressive, active Kansas. And, oh yes, they still talk the Kansas lan guage out here, too." Ooesn't Know About "Situation." "Of course. Colonel Roosevelt, you are pleased with the situation out hern?" the reporter urged. "Really now, you know I haven't been here long enough to say any thing about conditions," said Roose velt as he pulled his overcoat collar around his neck. "I have only been In Kansas a day, you know." "But you naturally know the presi dential electoral situation here. What do you think of the plan to remove vour electors to the independent col umn?" "I hz'ten't anything to say about that at all and do not wish to give out n interview concerning it." was the em phatic c'ec!aratlon of the rough rider. It waj eiident that he did not desi-e to discuss Kansas politics. But the reporter tried again. "Weh, Col. Roosevelt," he persisto-l, "will the removel, of your electon fai lure your chances of carrying the state in the November election?" "My dear sir," said Roosevelt, uta two rows of pearly white teeth shone in the light of the white way. "I hp.ve told you three times I will not be in terviewed on this mater. I would break a policy to submit to you. Please do not persist." Then the car stopped at the Grand and Roosevelt was rushed to the stage. Back in the wings, William Allen Whi'e was sought. "What do-s Col. Roosevelt think of the situation in Kansas?" the Pro gressive committeeman was asked. "He says it is allright," declared White, "but he is taking our word for it. All he knows about the conditions out here is what we tell him. If we say it is good or bad, then he bases his judgment on our opinion." At his Ottawa meeting, Roosevelt discussed the Kansas situation briefly. He gave the ultimatum that his sup porters should follow him to the inde pendent column, and urged the Bull Moose candidates on the state ticke to accompany his electors to the inde pendent column. In his Ottawa speech, Roosevelt said In part: "From the beginning" he said, "our op position has attempted to defeat us through political trickery. :,erause it has known it was useless to try to do it otn er wise. ,f"H7" Kansas the Republicans fought it out fairly and by nearly a two to one yU e.'Lided I was the rightful eV rarty. The proper official of the Republican party instructed the Kft' wX, f,state o carry ouHts win informed that the secretarv of state, contrary to the expressed will of the voters, has decided that Ta'-N namt should go upon- the ballot. When that He cision was made, the onU- thing to oo whs what Mr. White did-take the Progressive electors off the ticket. But we don't want to take them off until we know we can get on again. "If we can't get our ticket on i'le bal lot without having Taft's nanp over it I trust that every Progressive candidate will get off the ballot and out from .Tn der the Taft heading. m un "Tn no proper sense of the word is Mr Taft the nominee of the party, but under the law in Pennsylvania, his na.ne nad to go at the head of the ticket. I a, urged to allow the electors who were in structed for me to stay on th-. tirket un der Taft's name. But I refused, and I held then and hold now that no supporter of mine, with my consent, shall Ko on the ticket under a sign which would' lead th voter to believe he was vofiitf against me." Roosevelt flayed Judge Th ocratic nominee for United States sena tor. He declared that statements by Thompson to the effect that his !!04 cam paign cost $16,000,000 were absolutely false. The Bull Moose chieftain also scalded J. Ralph Burton, who is this year a .Demo cratic nominee for the legislature. In his Salina paper. Burton had devoied two columns to ugly Questions propounded to Roosevelt but to these questions tne rousli rider raid not the least attention. urged his crowd to stay with the ship and assured them that the cause wa- ainini? strength and that New York and others of th big eastern states would come ln'.o the fold in November. SET RULING ASIDE Roosevelt Has Plan to Pay No Attention to Courts. People Should Run the Game, He Tells Kansans. Pittsburg, Kan., Sept. 23. A large crowd gathered in the public square to hear Col. Roosevelt speak today. Peo- ple who were unable to get close enough to the platform to hear him climbed trees and telephone poles, and a crowd of boys swarmed on top of a threshing machine. In the crush one woman fainted and Col. Roosevelt sent his physician to care for her. "Don't you want an umbrella, col onel," a woman called out. "The sun is mighty hot." "Oh. no," said the colonel, "you'll have to use a club to kill me." In his speech Colonel Roosevelt de fended the recall of judicial decisions, he also referred to his tilt last spring with Congressman P. P. Campbell af ter the congressman expressed the opin ion that the colonel was "appealing to the bleachers." "To invert language that has been given some fame in your own district." said Col. Roosevelt,- "we intend that the people shall not merely sit on the bleachers and look at the game. We intend that the people shall run the game. We believe it should not be a game between two gangs of profes sionals but that the people should have the say so as to who shall play. lr you don t put the people in charge of the government you'll mate it a government of the people by the boss- for the special interests. "If you decide with us on the prin ciples for which we stand, so far as I am concerned, I shall not rest con tent under any judicial rulings which nullify these decisions. In New York we have nominated for the court of ap peals two jurists who believe the peo ple have the right to pass such laws as these and who further believe that if the courts rule against them an ap peal should be due to the people after a reasonable time. "Our opponents criticize what I say about the courts. The New York court of appeals say? that we cannot have a workman's compensation act. Our opponents say Tley approve the liw but that we cannot have it because the courts won't let us. We say that if the courts make such a decision the people who made the constitution should have -he chance to say whPt they meant when they made it." The Colonel Is Fteling Fine. Pittsburg. Kan., Sept. 23. "I'm feeling bully." That was Colonel Roosevelt s re sponse this morning when asked how he is standing the strain of his four weeks swing around the circle. The cx -president looked refreshed after his rest at tem poria yesterday and his voice which showed symptoms of weakening o.i Sat urday, was strong again today. D".

Roose velt pursued his line of argument ol last Saturday in urging in his speech here this morning "Ex-Democrats and ex- Republicans, as he calls them, to alie.ii themselves with the Progressive part. "You people of Kansas are progressive and as sucb cannot tie yourselves to the old parties dominated by the bosses and the crooked corporation." said the colonel.

They Are Brilliant Orators Marshall's Band to Play. Topeka will tonight hear the first Taft speech of the campaign when J. Adam Bede, former congressman Loin Minnesota: and J. M. Harlan, of Chi cago, reply to Theodore Roosevelt ;.t the auditorium. Both of these men ire rated as eloquent speakers and the crcwd that goes to the auditorium to night will probably see an oratorical display that will exceed anything on aturdcy night's program. Bede and Harlan are following riiose velt en his western trip. In every town that Roosevelt speaks. Bede and Har lan make speeches. They will answer the call of the Bull Moose and invite tl-.e considerate voters to dodge fre.vsiBd politics and hang close to real and tangible issues. That Roosevelt will be toasted and flayed before tonight's crowd, is only a part of the program. Roosevelt's public record will be aired and displayed for individual inspection by the two men who are following the Bull Moose trail across the continent. This afternoon Bede and Harlan spoke at Ottawa. At 5:30 this evening they will speak in Lawrence and will arrive in Topeka at 6:40 this evening. A concert by Marshall's band will pre cede the meeting at the auditorium. HAS RIGHT TO KILL A Father May Protect His Daughter in Any Way And He Will Be Upheld by the Oklahoma Courts. Oklahoma City. Okla., Sept. 23. "The father who kills in defense of his daughter's honor will receive pro tection and not punishment in Okla homa," declared Chief Justice Furman of the criminal court of appeals when he reversed the five year sentence im posed upon C. M. Litchfield, who kill ed Bill Collins, a Democratic politi cian, for attacking his daughter. In reversing the sentence the chief justice said: "It matters not what the previous reputation of his daughter may be, the father has the right to defend her against an assault, and he may do this lmmeaiatety, with the most easy means at his command and if he kills ner assailant the law will hold him guilt'ess, even though it may after wards turns out that he might have pre vented the offense bv use of some oth er means, provided only that the fath er acts in good faith and upon reason able appearance of imminent danger to his daughter." The evidence in the case showed that Collins had misled the Litchfield girl under promises of securing a di vorce and marriage. On the point of attacking the girl's former reputation, the court became emphatic and assail ed vigorously the socalled "double standard" of morality. No Double Standard. "It would be unjust, said Judge Furman, "to have the veracity of a man called in question by proof of his reputation for morality. If this be true as to men, why should not the same rule apply to wom en? "We are not willing to establish a dou ble standard in Oklahoma in favor of men and against womanhood. This court will extend to the prodigal daughter every right and every protection which is af forded the prodigal son. It is a false and vicious standard of morals which opens every door and bids welcome to the prodigal son, but closes every ioor except that of the grave to the prodigal daugh ter. We believe that if any differences are made between men and women they should be in favor of womanhood. In 33 out of every 100 cases when a girl goes wrong, it is owing to the temptation and villainy of some man. and that too, in the sacred name of love. "To every true father, his daughter is the core of his heart, the pride, trie Joy and the inspiration of his Ufa He would willingly die a thousand deaths to save her from shame. Her dishonor permeates all of the sources of his happiness and renders life a burden, a nightmare a curse and a disgrace." The killing for which Litchfield was convicted occurred on July 19, 1910, and his conviction came later in the same year. ASEBALL PROGRAM. S:cux City at Omaha, clear.

K. of Present Status. Governor Stubbs is not inclined to believe that Theodore Roosevelt really intends that the Progressive candidate on the Republican state ticket shali accompany the Bull Moose electors to the Independent column and refuses to view the Roosevelt ultimatum in this light. While Governor Stubbs attended the Ottawa meeting and sat on the speaker's platform when Roosevelt dis cussed Kansas issues, he does not be lieve that the Progressive presidential nominee invited the state candidates in Kansas to follow his electors. The governor is sure that the colonel did not intend it to applir in Kansas. In his Ottawa speech, Roosevelt is quoted as making this statement: (Continued on Page 2.1 BRYAN'S DATES He Will Spend 'Three Days in State in Special Train. October 2, 3 and 4 on Route From Belleville to Wichita. Final arrangements have been made whereby William Jennings Bryan will spend three days in Kansas in a speak ing tour under the direction of the Democratic state central committee Three night addresses will be made in the state on October 2, 3and 4, and a schedule of speeches for various towns along the route is being worked out. Bryan will come into the state from aFirbury, Neb., the afternoon of Oc tober 2, speaking that night at Belle ville, Kan. He will remain over night at Belleville, leaving early the morn ing of October 3, and speaking at Con cordia, Morganville, Clay Center, Man hattan, Junction City, Abilene, Chap man and thence to Salina for the night address. The morning of October 4 the speaker will be taken by automobile to Mc pherson where another special will be awaiting him, going to Wichita for the night address hy way of ElDorado, Au gusta, Wellington and Winfield. Stops will be made at various other towns along the line. Bryan will make the trip by special train all the way. Leaving Wichita the night of October 4 on the Rock Island he will start back to Lincoln, Neb., where he is scheduled for the after noon of October, 5. The trip will be made in a hurry and probably will be the only visit of the Commoner dur ing the present campaign. He has been routed to reach the greatest possible number of people, and cover the most possible territory for the limited time he will be in the hands of the Kan sas committee. IT'S ONE MAN PARTY. Roosevelt Hardly Peoule's oOwn Can didate, Debs Says. Pittsburg, Kan., Sept. 2 3. Eugene V. Debs, Socialist candidate for presi dent, in an address here today answer ed Colonel Roosevelt's recent refer ence to him as a "will-o'-the-wisp," by charging that Roosevelt is the leader of a one man party." "Angered because defeated bv the Republican party," said Mr. Debs, "Roosevelt decided to have a prty of his own- So he called a convention at Chicago, went to Chicago, nomi nated himself by acclamation, accept ed the nomination and now is cam paigning as.

He says that rubber has been made from whisky for. weral years' at sev eral experimental laboratories In Ger many and that recently a set of auto mobile tires- from the alcoholic bever age were presented to Emperor Wil liam and that he is now using tfcem on one of his private automobiles- KANSAS MAN BREAKS RECORD Longest Interview of Long and Distinguished Career. Taft Campaign Is Gaining Strength and Steadiness. Chicago, Sept. 23. Director Mulvane, in charge of the western bureau of the Taft campaign, in reviewing the prog ress of the campaign during the week, said today: "Col. Roosevelt will run a bad third in the presidential race. "This is as certain as the fact that he is making speeches. He is the leader of a bolt, attacking Republi cans personally and denouncing the Re publican party. We know, and I re peat it with all possime empn'. ur,o, that he will not get as a bol ter and a party wrecker as large a vote on election day as he received at iu ,,,-hon he was a Republican. ready and willing to be the nominee of the party.

In Kansas where men who made loud pretensions of being virtuous were guilty of a high handed and piratical attempt to steal presidential electors, we are to have Taft electors under the Republican emblem upon the ballot. Col Roosevelt is quoted as saying that he 'does not want electors who desire to vote for him running in the Taft and Sherman column. If this is so. let us see what the porch-climbers in South Dakota will do. Will they be seized with a spasm of belated hon esty or will they continue in their effort to steal the electoral vote? The desperation of the Roosevelt cause is shown by the confession that it must resort to dishonest methods in order to make any showing at all. "We are more than satisfied with the situation as it stands today. Thirty rt nn nna w n 1 1 1 1 have said that wxy a .ip the Republican party had the ghost of a show in Minnesota, yet it was triumphant over the Third Termers this week. Every test which has been ap plied since President Taft was nomi nated has been adverse to the Roose velt movement.' There has been a turn in the tide and the wave of Taft sentiment will continue to increase un til he is re-elected on November 5." HIGH COST OF LIVING. Government Report on Rise in Prices in Ten Years. Washington, Sept. 23. The most marked upward trend of the cost of living is disclosed in the federal bureau of labor's report of an investigation of prices for the last ten years, conduct ed in the important industrial centers of 32 states. Fifteen important articles of goods, as well as coal, comprising two-thirds of a working man's needs, were in vestigated. In many cities the investi gators gathered statements of mer chants on the cost of living and -specimens of these are published in the re port. On June 15, 1912, the report shows 14 of the 15 articles of food were higher than a year before, and 10 had ad vanced in the last 10 years more than 50 per cent over the average price for the preceding ten years. During the last decade prices of po tatoes changed most and sugar the least. Their advances were 111.9 and 8.5 per cent, respectively. During the last year, bacon, which decreased just one-tenth of 1 per cent, was the only one of the 15 principal articles of food that- showed a decline, while, nine of the 15 advanced more than 2 per cent, varying from 2.4 per cent for milk, to 18.6 for round steak. Of the 15,. only eggs, butter, milk and sugar were lower, but the price of three of these four is normally lower in sum mer than in winter. SCHOOL BOARD BALKS, TOO Have No Faith in Attorney Fees and Court Costs. Illinois Life Trouble Starts City-County War. If the city officials carry out the threats they have been making for the last few days, a legal war involving several thousand dollars is due t(- break over the city hall and court house soon. The county in obeying a court order rebated $13,554 in taxes to the Illinois Life Insurance company of Chicago. County officials claim the city's share is $5,227 and the school board's portion is $4,978. The city hall is aroused over the demands anl officials declare they will pay only the original taxation amounting to $4 187. tContinued on Pae Two. HASlOTCHANGED Standard Oil Continues Its Old Time Business Methods. Assigns Sales Territory to Its Former Subsidiaries. New York, Sept. 23. The Standard Oil company of New Jersey is still as signing sales territory to oil refineries of its former subsidiaries outside of its own territory, according to testi mony given today at the hearing of the Waters-Pierce Standard Oil litiga tion, by Kenneth Adams, assignment clerk of the New Jersey company. Adams vas asked a series of ques tions by S. M. Fordyce of St. Louis, counsel for the Waters-Pierce com pany, in line with the latter's conten tion that there is no real competition among the various Standard Oil com panies. "Do you receive stock reports of ?.ny refinery other than refineries of the Standard Oil of New Jersey?" Adams was asked. "Not that I know of," was the reply. "Have you assigned stations or ter ritory to refineries outside of the ter ritory of the New Jersey company?" "Yes," said the witness. Untermeyer Sees Taft. Washington, Sept. 23. Samuel Un termeyer of New York, attorney for the house "money trust" Investigation committee and for the Waters-Pierce Oil company in its fight with the Standard, conferred with President Taft at the White House today. Re ports that the government was watch ing developments In the Waters-Pierce suit surrounded the conference with interest. Later it was said at the White House that Mr. Untermyer and Edgar H. Farrar, also of counsel for the "money trust" committee had asked President Taft to permit the "money trust" committee to draw upon -the-government departments for certatn information they want to use In con nection with the money trust investi gation. It was said Mr. Taft asked them to submit specific requests in writing and promised to decide soon if he could grant them. It was said that the Waters-Pierce oil litigation was not discussed. No engagement had been made for Mr. Untermyer, but he was admitted immediately to the president's office though Mr. Taft had refused many engagements because his time was so occupied. It has been reported that testimony developed in the Waters-Pierce case might be used by the government as a basis for investigation of how .he Standard Oil company is carrying out its decree of dissolution. Contempt of court proceedings have been re ported pending. It is known however, that Attorney General Wickersham has been receiv inga stenegraphic copy of testimony in the case and giving to it his per sonal attention. It has been under stood the government had been inves tigating specific complaints against the Standard Oil company but any purpose of reopening the big trust case was disclaimed by officials. COOL AND FINE. The weather is delightful today, al though still slightly cooler than nor mal. The forecast, however, calls for local rains tonight or Tuesday, but this does not necessarily mean that rain will strike Topeka. It has now been elevn days since the temperature were normal or above. The wiind is bliwing fifteen miles an hour from the south. The report of Section Director T. R. Jennings for the 4 8 hours ending at 7 o'clock this morning follows: "Light frost, with temperature rath er close to freezing, was reported in western Kansas Sunday morning, but temperatures Sunday night were not quite so low, though they have aver aged below normal at all stations. No rainfall has been reportea and the sky was clear at oil stations both this morning-and yesterday morning." The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 52111 o'clock 74 8 o'clock 5412 o'clock 76 9 o'clock 60! 1 o'clock 76 10 o'clock 701 2 o'clock 76 ALFONSO'S SISTER DIES Madrid Spain, Sept. 23. Princess Maria Teresa, sister of King Alfonso, dieu fcuu rienly today from the effects of an em bolism. The infanta, who was not unite 30 years old, was married six year ajo to Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria. The prince had become a naturalized Spaniard a year before, and is an officer in the j?pani-h army. He resides In Madrid. The infanta leaves three children, prince Luis Alfonso, Prince Jose Eugenio and a princess not yet a year old. War Proven Impossible if Air Craft Is Used. Monoplanes Fail Into Disfavor With British Army. Paris. Sept. 23. "A brilliant, but th most tragic, month in aviation slnca heavier-than-alr craft were discovered,' was the verdict of the Aero club sum ming up the events thus far In Sep tember. Since September 1 thirteen aviators have been killed, but three records have been made. Military men acknowledga that war perhaps has been made Im possible. Record of Fatalities. The record of deaths follows: September 6 -Capt. Patrick Hamil ton and Lieutenant Stewart killed by the fall at Stevenage during the Brit ish army maneuvers. Overturned by the wind. September 10 IJeut. C. A. Bettington and Lieut. K. Hotchkiss killed by fall at Wolvercote during the British army maneuvers. Due to a petrol explosion. Lieutenant Steger killed by the fall near Munich during Bavarian army ma neuvers. Caught in air pocket. September H Lieutenant Siebert kill ed near, Dresden during the Imperial German army maneuvers. Machln buckled in the wind. Paul Peck killed at Cicero Field, Chicago, by fall in an exhibition flight. M. Nikaramanlakis drowned by the fall of his hydroplane into the sea during a flight from Athens to Patras. September 14 Howard W. Gill killed in collision of aeroplane with Georga Mestach at Cicero Field. Chicago. September 20 Russell Blair killed by fall of aeroplane during an exhibition flight at Shenandoah. Ia. September 21 Lieutenant Berger and Lieutenant Junghans were killed by fall near Freiburg during cross country flight, Chemnitz to Berlin. J. D. Afrt ley killed by aeroplane fall at Belfast, Ireland. Toll for .year 78 Live. The Aero Club's records show that seventy-eight aviators have keen killed this year, as compared with seventy three for all of 1911. Since aviation be gan, 183 have been killed. The week has proven monoplanes loss reliable than -biplanes, so that the Brit ish war office has ordered the use of the former discontinued. In French military circles it is held that for war purposes the monoplane cannot be dis regarded, on account of Its speftd. At the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva it was voted, however, that the aeroplane be placed under the ban for military purposes. It is understood that, this applies to its use as a means of offence, and that air craft may still l.a uped for scouting. How successful the flying men hava been as scouts was revealed In the course of the week by the abandon ment of the British maneuvers because the aviators' reports to the rival com manders had made one another's move ments so plain that tactics were impos sible. Maneuvers wore not abandoned in France and Germany. An Aid to Win a Battle. In reporting a victory won ngainst the Turks In Tripoli, General Ragney of the Italian army said: "After we believed the battle near ly won, an aerial scout signaled that another column of Turks was advanc ing. Our reserves were accordingly called up and after a fierce fight w won." Early in the month R. G. Garros broke the altitude record by ascend ing 16,240 feet at Houlgate, Franco. Later George Legagneux broke It again at Villacoubray by ascending 18,732 feet. M. Fourney flew thirteen hours and eighteen minutes, covering 628 miles, at Etampes, breaking tb duration and distance records over a, closed circuit. Pierre lirland's aero plane dashed Into a crowd at Gray, France, September 8, and killed four persons. PLAII TAFT CAMPAIGN Kvcry Ik-publican County Candidate to Be Assisted by Committee. Plans for an active county carr paign by the Taft county central com mittee are being perfected including schoolhouse meetings In a number of the larger towns of the county. Th" plans of the committee embrace a small assessment to be levied against the county candidates. It is not nearly as large as has been the rule of the committee heretofore. "The committee is in rympathy wli every Republican nominee In Shawnee county," declared Fred H. Jewell, sec retary of the committee. "Our com mittee did not bolt. We merely di vorced ourselves from the committee after the committee had bolted th Republican ticket by refusing to en dorse President Taft." County Republican candidates wl'.l be invited to attend the various school house meetings to be held un der the auspices of the committee whether they contribute their assess ments or not. For the present the headquarters .-f the county committee will be the of fice of tJhalrman John T. Cheney on the fifth floor of the New England building. The work of the campaign will be managed from the office. Ev ery effort will be made to be fair and just to the Republican county candi dates, it is said, and every assistance possible will be given them in th present contest. Weather Forecast for Kansas.

Buffham was forced tc resign last week, and his wife who In never separated from him, announced !,er intention of ending her contract at the same time. "Miss Morton Is splendid," Mr. Craw ford declared, "but for many reasons it srtmed best that we should have a new Waging man: a younger man. for in stance. Personally, I am sorry to lose hem both." A new character woman has arrived, but the name of the leading man -s still unknown. Telegrams have been exhanged between Mr. Crawford' and his Chicago agent relative to a chap named Day who has been playing Juvenile parts in the largest stock com pany of the Great Gray City. Rehearsal?-, for the next week's bill. "Friends," begin tomorrow, when the new cast takes its first roles.

Colonel Roosevelt rested Sunday. William Al len White, in his newspaper had asked the people of Emporia to let the colonel have a full day of rest inti they did not run after him or bother Iiiin in any wiiy. At 9 o'clock in the morning White Crove his old family horse, Tom, and surrey to the depot, where Roosevelt had spent the night in his private car, and" the two jogged back through the quiet streets to White's home "Red Rocks," and stayed until churchgoing time at 11 o'clock. The first thing the colonel wanted, he said, was a bath, as he hadn't had a real bath for two weeks. Later he sat dewn and visited with the Whites, al though they tried to prevail on him to ;ro to his room and rest. But he said tu:i-. just getting away from the crowds v:il, the rest needed. He played with the White children and got acquainted with their fox terrior, Teddy, and about th middle of the forenoon, F. C. New man took him for an automobile ride. They visited the Country club and saw the places of interest. Roosevelt is a member of the Re formed Church of the United States, more widely known as the "Dutch Re formed church." There is a church of that denomination in this town and when its pastor, the Rev. T. F. Stauffer, learned that Roosevelt was to spend the day here he asked White to invite him to the morning services. Roosevelt said he would be glad to go and he asked that it be kept quiet so there would not be a crowd. It is a small church with a member ship of only 27 and they had a hard time keeping the secret. especially when the big Methodist congregation and the Presbyterians were each try ing to get Roosevelt to attend its ser vices, and so the heart of the dear old pastor was all aflutter as he stood on the doorstep of his church in the forenoon. He stroked his beard, which was white as snow, and glanced up and down the street. "I am so afraid it will get out and a crowd will come," he said. "If a crowd comes it will look as if we had broken faith with him." But no crowd came. When Roose velt and Mr. White, having walked from the White home, came up tie church steps, there were only 106 per sons there. The pew in which Roose velt was to sit was decorated with an American flag, and a sofa pillow, with a life size picture of the colonel on it, lay upon the organ top where all could see it. Jt was an old fashioned church, and the congregation sang the old fashion ed hymns in the old fashioned way, slowly and with great fervor. Fi-.t it sang "Holy, Holy, Holy," and then "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and "My Faith Looks Up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary." The colonel sang the hymns and re cited the apostle's creed, and then the pastor read the ninety-first Psalm and took as his1 text those two versea from Matthew "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all t'.iy soul, and with all thy mind. "And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." It was a good old fashioned sermon. Roosevelt told the pastor afterwards as he shook hands with him warmly that he was "dee-lighted" with it. Mr. Roosevelt put a dollar in the col lection basket and joined in the singing of "How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord." and after the oenefiictioi the congregation surrounded him and i. shook hands with each one of them, men. women and children. Many of those in the congiesation were surprised at the plain appearance of Roosevelt. They fancied that America's greatest citizen, who had been received by the kings of the earth, would come to church in a frock coat and a silk hat. But Roosevelt wore his soft black felt hat and the same business suit of grav that he wears on weekdays. It needed pressing and the left coat pocket sagged from nis hahit of thrusting his hand in there often while he is speaking. Following the service. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. White spent a half hour at the Gazette office, where Mr. Roosevelt dic tated a letter to Mrs. Roosevelt, and then they went to the WWte home to a fried chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet potato and apple pie dinner. And the way the colonel ate delighted the soul of Mrs. White, who had prepared a real home dinner for her distinguished guest. After dinner, and after Mr. Roosevelt had gone in the kitchen and thanked the girls there for their part in the excellent dinner, "Old Tom" was called into requi sition again and the colonel and Mr. White went to the Whitely hotel, where Mr. Roosevelt dictated a speech. After a drive back to the White home and an hour or two spent in visiting Mr. and Mrs. White, the colonel went to the Ga zette office and to the Santa Fe station behind "old Tom." Only one criticism of the day was heard and that was that "Bill." as they all call William Allen White in Emporia, per sisted in driving the colonel around be hind his old family horse. They said fie ought to have upheld the enterprise and dignity of the town by taking him in a motor car. T6 this Mr. White replied. "He told me himself that he wa de lighted with my horse and sur-ey. It fitted into the scheme of a day of com plete rest." The newspaper correspondents traveling with Colonel Roosevelt were treateu To a watermelon feast by residents of Em poria.

Moving Pictures of Parade to Advertise Topeka. Five hundred automobiles and one hundred pop-pop machines together with Marshall's and the Second Keri ment band constituted the big parade, held on Kansas avenue at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon- A stranger might have surmised that Jt was circus day. us thousands of people lined Kansas avenue from Sixth to Ninth streets,, and so dense was the crowd at the in tersection of Eighth avenue that it was beyond the control of the police. A successful moving picture was taken of the cavalcade by the B?st Film company, the camera man being stationed on an elevated platform nep.r the transfer station. A portion of th3 film has been developed and is said to be up to expectations. The first division of the parade push ed the crowd hack to the sidewalks,, but the onlookers swarmed out into the thoroughfare like anta at Eighth avenue before the second division. headed by the .Second Regiment band had arrived, and nearly brought the machines to a dead stop, several times. First Division in Order. The first tier of eight cars each coming up the street in regular order was a pretty eight. Due to the fact that several engines went dead, the cars at the rear end of the first division were thrown out of line, and thereafter there was little order ob served. The procession divided at Eighth and Kansas avenue, one division going east on Eighth and the other contin uing to Ninth street before turning east and eventually stopping in frc nt of the Auditorium where Marshall's band, which led the parade, gave a concert. Professor D. H. Seymour played on the big pipe organ. There was a large out of town rep resentation in the procession. Among the towns included were Manhattan, St- George, Wamego. Rossville, Silver Lake, Atchison, Lawrence, Lyndon and Kansas' City. Kan. The picture of the parade will bo sent out to the "Animated Weekly' moving picture firm, and will probably be shown all over the country. It will be seen in the Auditorium in connec tion with a Commercial club show some time in October. The picture will advertise the first meeting of tr-e Kansas State Automobile association in the interest of good roads. W. W. Webb, president of the Shawnee Motor League, had charge or tne parage. SAW THE COLONEL. Cub Reporter Realised the Ambition of Years. A young and unsophisticated being, known to initiated as a cub reporter, met Colonel Teddy Roosevelt Saturday niaht. and realized the ambition of vears. Waiting for him at the audi torium the reporter removed a right rlove. Who. with gloved fingers, would shake the fist that has touched the hand of the King of England, Khedive of Egypt, Czar of Russia, Emreror of Germany, President of France, that has signed the Panama bill, pulled a trigger at San Juan, and shot hiDUODOtami in the Africaa woods? The colonel and the governor blew in on a breeze and plunged at onco into their speeches. No hope. The reporter waited for the supreme mo ment when the talk would be o er. and hummed "Patter Chorus of Newspaper Men," written long ago ay one Rerton Braley: "Things start to spin again, reil fights begin again. There's the old grin again, always the same. Hearts may grow lighter now, days will be brighter now, Here's the old fighter now back In the game. Prospects were black to us, news was a lack to us. Now he's come back to us, vivid and vernal. Things will be quicker now, stories grow thicker now. Life have new ichor now How-de-do. Colonel!'' Big applause, and the address "was over. The reporter noting that the cartoonists had exaggerated the glar ing glasses and jack-o'-lantern teeth, pushed to the front. The colonel bustled into his overcoat, grinned at evervone, grasped tne coat tans or William Allen White, sifted through the crowd and disappeared. "Can you stick to me?" cried the political man, who was kind to tlio littlest reporter, "we'll get him yet. Hang on to me." They elbowed through the mass of people, leaped over the ground, took a flying jump and landed where they wished to be. Roscoe, jr., sat on the front seat of the governor's car, William Allen White and Colonel Teddy sat behind, the political man and the cub report er, hand clasped In the ex-president's, hung to the running board. "I'm glad to see you," cried the hunter, politician, lion-tamer, fighter, reformer, rough rider, explorer, col onel, ex-president and "first private citizen in the world." And the heart of the cub reporter sang with joy. WHAT IS CIRCULATION? Department of Justice Asked hy Hitchcock to Define It. Washington, Sept. 23. Officials of the department of justice admit that Postmas ter General Hitchcock has asked the de partment, as have hundreds of other au thorities, to construe the rights of con gress to require newspapers and periodi cals to furnish information about copies which do not enter the mails but which circulate merely in a city or town by private carriers or newsboys. The question of the constitutionality of the law is also Involved. Early last week Mr. Hitchcock made Alfalfa Meal Also Alfalfa-Molasses feed. We now have the new crop. It is econom ical feed. D. O. Coe 119 East 6th St. MB public a statement In which he said that, although he was opposed to the law and did not want the .owners of magazines and newspapers to blame the postolfice department for It, he Intended to enforce it at once. The blanks for filling in by the newspapers and magazines were print ed and some of them were sent out, but suddenly these were recalled and the whole matter held in abeyance, while the law was referred to the department of justice for interpretation. One of the most Important problems pre sented by the curiously worded provision is that the average number of copies sold or distributed daily to "paid subscribers be filed with the postofliee department. These words have usually ueeu u the department to denote persons receive the papers through the mails by having contracted in advance with the publisher for them. One of the things Mr. Wickersham will have to determine will be whether in the case of dally newspa pers the average circulation is to include papers sold to purchasers on the street. WHAT IT MEANT. I Continued from Page If we can't get our ticket on the ballot without having Tan s it. I trust that every Progressive cau didate will get off the ballot and out from under the Taft heading. At his office BtM. ernor StuDDS was eerning the effect of that statement on the Kansas situation. "Do vou consider that an invitation or suggestion from Roosevelt for we Progressive candidates on the state ticket to get over into the depend ent column?" Governor Stubbs was asked. I don't know anything auouu statement at all," said StubDs. J know'whether he made it or not. there was any such thing bukv. didn't mention it to me. I think n is all right for the Taft fellows to have a chance to vote for Taft and for the Roosevelt electors to withdraw from under Taft's 'name." Didn't Col. Roosevelt mention ins matter to you? was askea. "Never a word. We.naa supoer together," said Stubbs, "but ne oian suggest any such plan." "Wasn't it mentioned to Mr. White, either?" "I don't think so. At least i n-i heard it. Col. Roosevelt spent Sun day with Mr. WTiitfe, of course, and 1 wasn't there. Now. the thing about this is that a lot of fellows are try ing to stir up something. The Pro gressives represent the spirit and po. icy of the Republican party, in .Kan sas and Roosevelt was the real hon est nominee of the Republican pary as expressed by the votes of the peo ple, but that nomination was stolen in the Chicago convention." William Allen White, national com mitteeman for the Progressive party, puts a new construction on Roose velt's statement and declares that Roosevelt does not insist on the with ,i,vai nf stubbs. CaPDer and other Progressives to the Independent tick et. Further. White insists, names of the Kansas Progressives cannot under any conditions appear under the names of the Roosevelt electors sinco petitions for them were not circuiaiaa with those of the Bull Moose electors, i in Mrant Electors Only. "What does Roosevelt mean by hi? statement that he hopes ail -rogre3- sive candidates will witnaraw irura nri Taft's name?" White was ask ed today over the long distance tele phone. -"He means electors only, declared White. "They are only candidates over whom he has any control. He leaves it entirely with the state caii-.- t n.hathpr thev will remain in the Republican column or not. W talked that matter over and under otonri oztr-u other imolicitly." "Hnnsprelt is willing, then, that his electors be alone in the Independent column?" was asked. "Certainly. He does not regard anything binding on the men who pro pose to vote for him except the elec tr. arA it would be deception for them to appear under Taft's name r- aa to the IndeDendent column get this straight. Names of Stubbs. Capper and others could not appear under the names of Roosevelt electors since their petitions were noi circu lated and filed with those of the Pro elnctors. Thev might go in tnmc other column, but not under names of Roosevelt electors." White Kxplalns Jt. White then explained that he con cirioroH there could be several Inde pendent columns on the ballot and that conflicting candidates could not have a place in the same column. "Will you insist on the placing of the names of Roosevelt and Johnson at the head of the Independent col umn?" White was asked. "We will make an effort to have them placed there," replied the Em poria publisher. In response to a question. White stated that the names and petitions of the ten Roosevelt electors will be cer tified to the secretary of state this week After they are properly certi fied, the names of the eight Roosevelt electors in the Republican column will be withdrawn. Earl Akers, Republican nominee for state treasurer, was asked concerning the Roosevelt statement. "I am a Republican and expect to remain in the Republican column," was Akers' answer to the question as to his attitude in the matter. "As for Mr. Roosevelt's statement. I have just read it and do not care to discuss it at this time." Arthur Capper, gubernatorial nomi nee, and others of the Progressive fol lowing are out of the city today and their sentiments concerning the Roosevelt ultimatum could not be ob tained. CITY WON'T PAY IT. Continued 1-om F&ge 1.) All of the commissioners at the city hall this afternoon favor holding back from the county the extra funds de manded by the Illinois Life Insurance company for attorney fees, court ex penses and interest. Only the exacc amount of taxes paid into the city treasury wilt be rebated, if the com missioners have anything to say about it. Here is the story: The county levied a tax on the de posits of the Illinois Life Insurance company amounting to $10,361- The insurance people contested the levy. It tumbled back and forth through the courts until a final order demanded that Shawnee county pay back the taxes plus attorney fees. Interest and court expense. The interest amounted to $1,870. The court costs $159. The attorney fees were $1,000. The entire rebate ordered by the courts was IS. 554 It i understood also that the school board will follow out the actions of the city commissioners.--and refuse to pay more than the original taxes that poured into their treasury. It is feared at the city hall that the county will make a polite .request for the alleged share of $5,227.

A writer in the Toronto "Mail says: "Baseball has some funny ireaks, but none ever beat one which a writer recalls happened in a game oack in Indiana on May 30, 1890, when tne Anderson club got three triples. double and two singles in one inning ana yet they didn't score. Ireland, the first batter, hit for a triple and tried to score on a short passed ball but was tagged out. Wiswell, the nsx'. batter hit for what looked like a home run, but was caught at the plate by a good return. Shumway, the next bat ter tripled. The next batter, Derby, bunted, and while the third baseman was waiting for the ball to go foul the batter made second, thus giving him two bases. Faatz also bunted, and was safe, m Shumwav on third was held R H E i from scoring. This made five hits, and me sixLn came wnen ear nit a. 11111-1 to right, the ball Hitting Faatz on the way to second, thus retiring the side. Manager Fred Clarke of Pittsburg failed to land his team a winner of the National League pennant this year, but the leader of the Pirates will win so many bets that he will have enough, neckties, shoes, hats and suits of clothing to stock a good sized sto:s. Last winter Clarke declared that he would not play ball this season. He jaid that he would not even go to bat in a rjinch. No one took him serlousiy All figured that Clark could not resist the temptation to gel into tne game. Clarke offered to wager that his name would not figure in a box score ail season. From all sides he was flooded with offers to bet that he would piaj in a game. Clarke took the wagers as fast as they were offered. In a tew weeks more Fred will begin to collect bis us in nine-. If all those wno cc with him make good Clarke will be the most dressed manager that basebal ever had. Winfield, Kan., Sept. 23.

The State Normal's first gam will be with Coop er college of Sterling, on Normal field Tuesday afternoon. Coach Fred Hon hart, who resigned this week, will stay with the team until after this game. The strength of men can only be guessed at, as most of them are green, only two members having been on the regular team last year. This team weighs less by ten pounds on an aver age than any Normal team in the past ten years, the average weight being 155 pounds. Kl Dorado, Kan., Sept. 23.

An indoor tennis tournament in midwinter is the plan now being boosted by tennis en thusiasts of Wichita. The matches would be played in the Wichita Forum and would prove decidedly popular, is tneir opinion. The arena of the Wichita forum. which is all of cement, would give room for four or five tennis courts. A party of local tennis cracks has taken up the matter with the city authorities and hopes to secure permission to lay off the courts and screen the galleries so the big tournament can be held. It would then be planned to keep in trim through the winter. The courts would In no way interfere w:t tie use of the building for f.n otn?r purposes.

The first college football game of the season this year will be played Tuesday af ternoon at Emporia between the Kansas -State Normal and Cooper col lege of Sterling. The normal team this year is composed almost wholly of new men but two of last year's team remaining. However, several of the new men give promise of good material.- The resignation of Fred Hon hart, athletic coach, is unfortunate at this time but eGorge Crispin, his suc cessor, has taken 'charge of the men and is rounding them into form. For the past few days the men have been put through light scrimmage work, and have been working out with the heavy Normal High school team which greauy outweighs the regulars.

They are now in the hands of their friends. Apparently nothing can stay the in creasing concentration of wealth. An aged Connecticut millionaire has mar ried a milliner. Isn't it pretty nearly time that Dave Leahy took out a few chips in the letter-writing: p:ame that is being played by Governor Stubbs and Sen ator Curtis? Some of the more enthusiastic of the prominent automobilists through out the country are now building a stone highway from New York to San Francisco on paper. Being a good Democrat, there were, of course, no sore spots on Governor Harmon over the outcome of the Democratic national convention. But he has just congratulated Governor "Wilson on walking away with the nomination. Surely there is nothing so remark able in the fact that Topeka can pro duce luscious strawberries in Septem ber. There are home-grown peaches of incomparable quality on the high ways and byways of Topeka all the year round. Of course, there is no such thing as a boss in the Bull Moose movement, and especially in Kansas. But .when William Allen White realized the sig nificance of the handwriting on the wall he told the Roosevelt electors to get off the Republican ticket. And they got. Oscar Straus, Colonel Roosevelt's candidate for the governorship of New York, has, at least, been sufficiently varied in his political affiliations to suit the most fastidious. He was a Cleve land Democrat. Then he was a Mc Kinley Republican and now he's a Bull Moose. For a few days, beginning October 7. the presidential candidates and their numerous ballyhooers might Just as well take to the woods and get a much needed rest, as well as giving the people one. The world's championship ball games will then be on the boards. Orocco's revolution is reported to lie getting weaker and weaker win each succeeding day. But if Presi dent Madero is successful in event ually stamping It out, it is certain that the revolution under the leader ship of Zapata will come to the front with much vigor. Judge Browning of Amarillo, Tv?x., seems to be on especially wise man. He has directed that persons with guns w-ill not be admitted to the court room during the proceedings against John B. Snead, who has settled his differences with the male members of the Boyee family by killing all of them. Governor Johnson says that Mr. Taft has practically been eliminated from the presidential contest, and will run a poor third. Not so many weeks ago and Mr. Johnson was among those who insisted that Mr. Taft would be eliminated by the Re publican national convention. So much for Governor Johnson as a po litical prophet. Colonel Roosevelt declares that the only way to reform Republicans of the type of Barnes and Penrose Is with a club. But he didn't happen to think of this method during the period that Mr. Barnes and other workers in the Republican party were helping him mount the ladder of political fame. And It was these men who placed him on the top rung. It is true that the Republican at mosphere in Kansas has cleared a lit tle since the Roosevelt electors were directed by Mr. White to retire from the Republican ticket. But it will probably continue to be a bit foggy as long as some of the avowed support ers of the Bull Moose, who are can didates for state office, Insist that they have a right to positions on the Republican ticket. BASEBALL. This is also the season of the year when the baseball magnates, the man agers of the big league teams the star players who syndicate their idea-- about the game and everything else under the sun to the four ends of the earth, and the sport writers of all de grees of fame, consume as much news paper space as they can with technical and more or less learned disserations to the effect that the results of the games for the world's championship will depend upon the condition and ef fectiveness of the opposing pitchers. What a profound deduction! Has there ever been a championship series. sirre they were instituted, which this was not so? As a matter of fact isn't it generally true of all major and lesser lciieuA ball Karnes that their results depend upon the condition and the effectiveness of the opposing pitchers. That seems to be a rule with rare ex ccptions. It is true that occasionally a team will make a few bobbles and go to pieces behind a twirler who Is pitch ing gilt-edged ball. Sometimes a chance hu at an opportune time wins a game But take it from the beginning to the end of a season In every league, and the pitchers are the players on whom falls the brunt of the contest. This hasn t been the case since baseball was first played, but it certainly has been so during the past decade and longer, and it seems to be becoming more so witn ench succeeding season. The pitcher is tht king of the nine. And he is usually- credited with either the defeat or I tht victory that perches on the banner of his team. There is much more to baseball be sides effective pitching, to-be sure. But or late years it has been emphasized above all the other departments of the game. And this may not be the very best thing for the future of baseball. People are apt to tire before long of being treated to little more than pitch ing duels between experts at that art. The winning or losing of games almost solely on the ability of one man on a tes.m to deliver the goods Is likely to became a trifle to monotonous to hold the attention of the sport-loving pub lic. And it might not be a bad plan for the experts who control the baseball situation throughout the nation to be gin to devise plans that will minimize the importance of pitchers to the suc cess of a team. Surely there must be a feasible and fair way to open up the game so that the pitchers will cease to be the whole show. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. Three countries in Europe are facing grave disorders on account of re stricted suffrage. There is a hint of revolution in the air. Hungary, Bel gium and Holland are filled with un rest, and violent outbreaks against the government are quite possible. These states are not like unhappy and incompetent Portugal. They are neither debt-swamped nor sinking f mm iinvpriv into deeper distress. All of them are filled with vital energy. They are rich in hope and in the achievements of a long period of pros perity and progress. Their disturbed and menacing condition is due to the gross injustice of their limited suf frage. In all of them the demand of men who would not stop short of revolution if they had the power to overcome the forces of the govern ment, is for equal rights for all citizens at the polls. America knows that this is a rea sonable and righteous request. In this country few men doubt that universal suffrage is the only sure foundation for any government. However they object to some consequences of equal right? at the polls they are sensible enough to realize that worse things might be expected to come from any form of restricted voting. There is no logical or practical stop ping place short of entire equality in the elective franchise. Experience has proved that nothing less will satisfy any nation. Hungary, Belgium and Hol land will all have to come to the broad foundation upon which government rests in the United States. They will travel by different roads and their journeys will be of unequal duration but they will get to the same goal in the end. WHAT IS HOME PROGRESS? We humans are all links of a great chain: each one is dependent upon the other, and nowhere is this so true as in the family relation, writes Edward Bok. in the September Home Progress Magazine. So, home progress if it means anything meana family unity. And that is what we are noticeably getting away from in our American life. Individuality is a sterling ele ment in the life and progress of any nation, but an individuality that makes distinct parts of a family, that breaks family unity, is the exact op posite of a healthy tendency. This does not mean that the child should become the echo of Its father or mother: a family is only interesting and progressively vital to each as the individualities of its members are al lowed the fullest play and develop ment. But back of the individual de velopment should exist a common bond: the strong tie of mutuality that stands for individual expression but always for family unity. The moth er's part in unity is, naturally, the most vital, for she is in the home the greater part of the time, but the fa ther's part, in his home time, is equal ly important. Effective parenthood is always that which works in unity: where the one supplements the work of the other. The mother may spin the cords that weave the child's men tal and moral training: it is the fa ther's place to tighten the cords. More evidence that detectives are generally successful in the pursuit of criminals if the inducements are large enough. J. Pierpont Morgan offered a reward of $5,000 for the arrest of the man who burglarized his New York home some eight months ago. And the detectives continued their quest until they were successful In landing the party the other day. JOURNAL ENTRIES People who think before they speak don't talk much. i Many piano players kill time In more ways than one. Most of .the men who are long on learning are short on money. And there are any number of self made men who haven't done a very good job at it. If weather forecasters received pay only when their predictions were cor rect, most of them would have to work at something else to make a living. JAYHAWKER JOTS Only two more days of summer and then you can get your snowshoes out, advises the Grainfield Cap Sheaf. Business is getting good, thinks the Osawatomie Graphic, when train rob bers begin to operate on the Mis souri Pacific. Ed Titus points out that the man who thinks parties will do what their platforms say would be a good one to sell mining stock to. "If you feel too cool these days," says Editor Mickel of the Soldier Clipper, "just think of two weeks ago." But what good will that do? "Ready Money" which is playing in Kansas City this week promises to play on every kerosene circuit and rural route in Kansas this winter, says the Salina Journal. One of the school-teaching snaps in Kansas: In the school at America City, Nemaha county, 42 pupils have enrolled. They have been assigned to 32 different classes to recite to one teacher, and more classes will be formed as soon as the necessary books can be obtained for the pupils. You can always tell a Sid, writes Bill Peyton in the Colony Free Press. Go to a picture show in a small town and when the reel breaks Sid says: "And they call this a picture show! I've been to K. C." and more like that. We've been to K. C, too, and reels break there as often as anywhere and that isn't all that gets broke. But a Sid never has a good time unless he can make disparaging remarks. Entomologist Kelley of the Toronto Republican thinks that fleas are few and far between in that part of Kan sas which is honored by his presence. "But when it comes to bedbugs," he writes, "the timbered part of Kansas is there with the goods. I'll bet my old hat I can go to any old jack-oak or turkey-oak in the woods, knock loose a pi-ece of the rough bark, and find enough bedbugs to furnish any new-married couple in the land a good start." GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISOM GLOBE. Laying off is easier than getting back to work. People talk when they know they ought to keep quiet. Everybody tries occasionally to sell some kind of "blue sky." Grammatically speaking, only a few are grammatically speaking. It never rains enough to suit a boy whj has a new pair of gum boots. A mummy gets blarrted little satisfac tion from winning the endurance prize. Any man who can husk a hundred bush els of corn a day has our permission. Some people get shocked so easily, it is suspected they look for opportunities o! that kind. A man has to work for himself to givo entire satisfaction, and even then he fails frequently Tempering the news to his own side in the controversy is an editorial trick thai no longer fools many people.

Of course, an actress thinks she Is a star whe.n she is praised to the skies. The woman who Is fond of shopping can always make a dollar look like 98 cents. Drinking is ant to give a man an un steady gait, but a nightcap naturally goes to his head. Every man's credit would be improved by paying his bills as promptly as he pays a grude. The fellow who gets religion seems to get a lot of satisfaction out of boasting about how bad he used to be. Muggins "Football is a deadly game." Buggins "But lust think how baseball kills off the grandmothers of office boys." "There are always two sides to an argu ment." quoted the Wise Guy. "Yes, but unfortunately there is only one end, added the Simple Mug. Blobbs "Mrs. Dashaway is a typical widow." Slobbs "What do you mean by a typical widow?" Blobbs "Oh, one who acts as though she had been born that way." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Details pay the steady, dividends.

Mr. Zebulion Hicks, the talented and vesauie superintendent and hired man o Mr. retina Han.r'. oDpinltlt.al M. i v. "....ivull. I CLll., had labored since sunrise the other day and When night i':tmp he wact vprv dtpii tu He had been scratching the earth with an uiu nire ana naa jabbed away with tni luijjieiueni or torture until every bone 1 nis body ached like the toothache. With tne setting of the sun he hastened to hi Doudior under the apex of the roof of me ancestral castle of Mr. Handy, glee fully shaking off the shackles of toil pair of blue overalls and leaped playfully imu oea. He did not crawl in as ordi nary mortals do. but JeaDed over the foot boaid, having taken a running jump. Mr. mens was not conversant with the rac that Mrs. Handv the cheerful and spick and helpmeet of the lord of the manor, had removed the vital oortions of said bed, even unto the springs and slats, for the purpose of airing them, and had for gotten to replace them. What Mr. Hicks t nought was a regular bed was only the frame of one and when ho leaped over the footboard, head first, he went clear through to the floor, shooting through the air like a meteor cast off the planet Mars. Mr. Hicks struck the floor with a thud that has been described as dull and sick ening. He broke a collar bone and ten commandments, and the old hoe knows his friendly graps no more. Mr. Hicks is recovering raDldlv and will be out in few da vs. Moral: Look before you leap. Mr. Rufus Doolittle has just completed an invention known as T.he Animate Work Harness and exDects to make fortune out of it. which he probably wil if it sells well. The harness works by electricity and when a button Is pressed it iumns off the harness hook and land: squarely on the back of the horse, said horse having been led out to the middle of the barn. The harness then proceeds to buckle itself on and hitches itself to the waeon when the horse has been backed into the thills. Mr. Doolittle claims that this is one of the most won derful inventions since the patent elestl sleeveholder, which came out In 1S94, an no doubt it is. Mr. Doolittle expects to try out his new device next week and sea how it will work. Why Suffer From Heat. There are so many ways to avoid it. For instance: Go for a long cruise on the ocean In a steam yacht. Travel up around Labrador and Iceland. Lie in a hammock all day beneath spreading apple tree with a tall pitcher of lemonade by your sicte. Have larire electric fans in every room in the house and stand beneath a cold shower seven or eight hours a day. Snenit the summer in the extreme northern part of Canada, where the only difference between summer ana winter ia that the selighlng is poor on the main street in the summer. Do not do any sort of work, but lu3t lie around in a cool, brezzy spot in your silk pajamas. Take an automobile trip to Alaska. It is generally nice and cool up in that neighborhood. Have a bungalow down by the sea where cool breezes sweept the front porch When you get tired of sitting on, tho porch take a dip in the sea or cruise down the coast in a yacht. The Worst Is Yet to Come. Now comes the campaign rator. How we should make a choice. The constitution, he explains So hard, to earn his pelf You'd think to listen his talk. He of the foghorn voice. Who tries to tell us poor galoots He wrote the thing himself. He charms the birdff out of the trees, He hypnotizes fojks And punctuates his 'sage remarks with comic-weekly jokes. He talks about George Washington And Lincoln without end. You'd think that each of them had been His lifelong bosom friend. At times he "view with great alarm," And then he "points with pride." He tells how the heroes of The Revolution died. The price of rubber in Peru, Or treaties with Japan. He can discuss with equal grace He is a wonderous man. He tells us about the stars That flicker in the sky He tells how the earch goes 'round The sun, and when and why. There's nothing he can't talk about To make us gasp and stare He's got to be, to hold his job. An expert in hot air. Of course, the things we want to kno He doesn't touch at all He'll talk all 'round the Issues that Are coming up this fall. v ith a lound and flowery eloquence He seeks to make us feel Excited, but he covers up The issues that are real. We've got to listen to Mm, though. It is the penalty Of living in a country that The world proclaims as free. Of course, we always go and vote The way that we think best, Regardless of the siren song Of this quadrennial pest. SAYS UNCLE GAV The man without emotion is a mon strosity, but he that lives by his emo tions alone is like a rudderless ship, tossed hither and thither, without compass, pilot or control. It is the function of the emotions to give to character mellowness, to soften the instinctive selfishness of the human animal and to socialize him. Sheer reasoning is invariably anti-social in its tendency; we have not yet evolved a man who can exist as a thinking machine and care greatly for his kind. When the emotions have tempered the purely intellectual faculties to the needs of social intercouse, they have performed their full duty. In oth. r words, there must be, if one would be Bane and successful, a balance of pow er between heart and brain. Witness what happens when the equilibrium is disturbed. The fren zied fanatics, i.he overly tearful or ov erly cheerful ne'er-do-w-ell, are alike victims of emotionalism run riot. Na poleon, who was a "combination of force and murder," who drenched Europe in blood under the thinly veiled pretext of serving France, was an almost purely intellectual monsfter, the Borgias were others and that Rus sian physician who took for money a score of lives was still another whn9! reasoning powers subdued and blighted his emotion. These are extreme cases, but be tween these poles lie innumerable vic tims of one-sided development. For instance, there is the ultra-religious person who professing righteousness, is guilty of aces that the ordinary good fellow would disown. The emotional ism of religious' fervor has with him. entirely usurped the functions of rea son and left him morally unreliable. On the other hand, the typical extor tioner, unmoved by emotion, grinds his victims with a heartlessness impos sible to the man of ordinary feelings. Safety and ranity lie in neither ex treme, but in that middle ground where emotions temper reason arid reason" holds the emotions in check. -(Copyright, 1912, by the McCluie Newspaper Syndicate.)

There had been no en gagement with another girl, he said. he was simpiy LL wu u' 11 hom he had hoped might care, but she would not live in the mountains. He felt that a minister should marry, and he had chosen Mary. There was notning oi auumuun of worship in his statement. Mary missed Jim's fervor. But she was flattered by the thought of the honor that he had paid her. She said "Yes." and wondered wny ner nean. n heavy. The marriage was to lane pia.ee soon as possible. Mary, a little in of her ruture nusoaiiu, icn a sense or Dewuuw mem. kht mauds upon her which she hardly knew how to meet. "I want you to study with me, ne saia, as uiey made their plans. "A minister's wife should be ready to teach and to pre side at meetings. You you are a dear girl, Mary, but you haven't had the advantages you are entitled to. You are not to blame.

Mary felt a sense or revolt, w asn t she good enough ior mm r nen there came to her suddenly, tne mem ory of similar things Bhe had said to Jim, dear Jim, who had loved her. On the minister's next visit he spoke somewhat hesitatingly about her wedding dress. "My people will be here," he said. "I wish you might have your gown made In the city first im pressions mean so muciv and these dressmakers here haven't an idea how to set off your beauty." So Mary went to the city to have her dresss made. And the first person she met on the platform was Jim. He stared at her, as one who sees a vision. "How in the world did you happen to come?" he said. "I rushed down to the station to send some things out to mother by one of the beys, but I guess it was fate, Mary, you're the loveliest thing I've seen for months. Come and have lunch with me. She went and confided to him the fact of her approaching marriage to the minister. he said, "but this day As they ate lunch she noticed that Jim had changed little. He had, it is true, taken on a certain easiness of manner, but the strength and ruggedness that had made him a noticeable figure on the mountains, made him conspicuous in the up-to-date dining room where he ordered soup and salad and ices with the air of one who knew. "Oh, Jim," Mary said. Impulsively, "it's so good of you. I I haven't been happy a minute since you left. Yet you are going to marry the minister. "He doesn't love me," Mary said dejectedly; "he thinks he does, but he so critical he he wants me to be different he doesn't like my ways, Dy clothes I sometimes won der if he isn't a bit ashamed of me jim Then the biggness of the man who loved her, showed itself Not once did Jim remind her that she, too, had "f-r i asnamea. "Do you love him, Mary?" he asked, abruptly. "I am not happy with him," she evaded. "And you could be with me?" "Oh, Jim yes." His face grew radient. "If he doesn't love you, it won't hurt to give you up it may hurt his pride, but his love isn't involved." .J1 can,'t to disappoint him." Mary said. He's so good and t hu,i have known my own mind, Jim." les. ier lover did not soften his arraignment. "A woman never knows wnat sne is doing when she trifles with the hearts of men. I think the best way will be to tell him the whole story, Mary." "Oh." she shrank from the trial. "Couldn't you?" "No it's your punishment." His words were stern, but his smile re deemed them. "You go right back home tonight, and tell him that you've changed your mind." But Fate intervened. The next day the minister came hurriedly into Mary's presence. "I am called to preach in Chicago a big church, a big salary. I must ask you to defer our wedding, Mary I shall have to get adjusted to the life there, to make a place for you. In the mean time, you can study and fit yourself for the position of the wife of a city clergyman." "Oh, please." begged little Mary, "I shall never be fit. Don't you think if you went to that girl you couldn't get to come up here that she'd take you now? And she knows all about the city and city ways I belong to my mountain; you can't transplant me." "Yes," said the minister softly, "you belong here. Do you mean it. Mary?" j. ,T cuiiiesseu, and there s somebody here that I love we ve both maae a mistake, dear friend. You have a great work before you. I could not be content amid the crowds and noise of a big town let us both be happy please." He took her hands in his. "You're l, wild flower, little girl," he said, and you are sending me to find a blossom which .shall fit into my cul tivated garden. I wonder 'Don't wonder," Mary advised; "go and get her, and put a hedge around her. She U like that, but I should die." In the spring Jim and Mary, six months married, received cards from the minister. "He has married the rose,' said Mary, "and they will live in a nice garden with hedges all around it but you and I Jim bent and picked a daisy and pulled its petals, one by one. "Loves me loves me not." he said softly. "It is such a dangerous -game, girl; but the flowers of the field can't be judged by the standards of formal gardens, can they? And you had to learn that the sheltered rose and the field daisy must each seek its own kind. You wanted to feel the buffetting of the winds, the beat of the storm, the glory of the sunshine. The woman he has married will be content to live in a hothouse. Each to his own. Each Jack to his Jill, each lover to his maid; the minister's Rose for him and my Mary for me. dear htart." (Copy right, 1912, by McClure'B Newspaper Syndicate.) EVENING CHAT T ROTH CAMBRON. There is a man in our town who is outrageously overbearing and disagree able to the most patient little wife that ever lived. People who know them both often say: "How can he be so disagreeable when she is so good? If she were sharp or cross, that would be another thing, but she is such an angel, I can't understand it." It seems to me that the very thing that puzzles them is a partial explanation of the trouble. Why shouldn't he be overbearing when she is always ready to lie down and let him walk over her? Why shouldn't he be disagreeable since he can always relieve his feelings that way without any fear ot a comeback? I am inclined to think that if she wer sharp and cross occasionaly, he'd be a little more careful how he picked on her. But if she Is always an angel of patience, why shouldn't he be a devil of unllvable ness when he feels like it? Angels make devils sometimes, 1 think, and goodness and badness are compi mentary to a greater degree than we realize. If you will look about you, you will s.:3 that the world is full of people who are cross ana ioiks wno let people be cross to them; children who are disorderly and mothers who patiently pick up them; hus bands who are overbearing and wives who are under spirited; wives who are outrageously extravagant and husbandJ who indulge them; folks who are eternally seuisn ana otner roiks who help them ti ue oy ineir sen enaeement. Now, do these sufferers deserve as much pity as they usually receive. si long as they help maintain the cause or their sufferings? Probably most of them wmilri tell vou that nothing they could do would have any effect on the offenders. I think they are mistaken. I think a great many of these people who impose on others in one wav or an other could be treated by homeopathl': ireaiment. Homeopathic 1 mean, as tar as concerns the character of the dose, not its size. That is: they should be given doses of their own medicine. Once upon a time there was a girl wno was very disorderly and untidy about her room. ier mother fretted and fumed but patiently picked up after her, and the girl grew worse instead of better. Finally she married a man who not only did not pick up after her, but was extremely disorder ly himself. The result of this dose of her own medicine was that she acquired ths lacking bump of order. Again a woman who was naturally ultra easy going married a man who was some degrees more so. In this case the cure was even more speedy. Now wasn't it too bad that the house mates of these people didn't apply this treatment years before? Of course, there are many chronic and aggravated cases of unlivableness that even the homeopathic treatment won't cure but I an sure that it would always help. I "I knew it, is ours."

The president has set his heart upon effecting a thoroughgoing reform in the government's fiscal administra tion, and he ia not .1 1 v... .1 ierence or opposition in congress, nor by the absorption of popular interest at this time in subjects offering more attraction to tne political imagination of the multitude.

Is, to us, decidedly refresh ing, if only as offering a bit of variety in the political landscape. It is a re minder, too, of the fact that in tho introduction of administrative econ omies, and in the curbing of the gen eral tendency to unlimited expendi ture, Mr. Taft has achieved a notable ilee-reft of success. We VAntnr th as sertion though, to be sure, with sorii'T' diffidence, for we recognize how bold a venture it is that even the Bull Moose chieftains have not declared the president's record in this one parti cular, to have been disgraceful to him and a humiliation to the nation. New York Evening Post. o WOMEN JURORS NEEDED. The recent acquittal of several wo men who were charged with murder has led Attorney J. E. W. Wayman, of Chicago, to assert that unless women are allowed to serve on juries when other women are on tr.'al for murdtr these crimes will never be avenged. He states that statistics show that murders by women are on the increase. Twenty years ago such crimes were extremely rare, but now they are m common that they pass almost without notice in the newspapers unless they are accompanied by some sensational features. In the opinion of Mr. Way maii. the reason for the increase in these crimes, especially those in which men are the victims, is the ten dency of Juries to allow women to es cape. All the women have to do is to tell some moving story and no cor roborative evidence is required. Few crimes of this sort are committed in a moment of rage, as are the crimes in which the man kills the woman. He believes that if women were allowed to try these cases they would consider the evidence as dispassionately as men weigh the evidence against other men. He concludes that men do not know women, and that women do, and unless 95 per cent of murderesses are to es cape women will have to replace men on the juries. New Orleans Picayune.

After a long period of stagnation they are experiencing a new life. The ban of Standard Oil has been lifted and the sun once more shines through the pall that has so long hung over the hills and valleys which formerly were dotted with derricks. Once more the snort of the engine and the clank, clank of the shackle rod is heard. Seven or eight years ago, when the price of crude went as high as $1.38 a barrel, the Kansas oil fields were thriving. Independence, Neodesha, Peru and F.artlesville could hardly find accommodations for visitors. A few miles out of Chanute was a forest of derricks. Neodesha was surround ed with them. There was scarcely a lot which had not on it an oil well. Independence was the central supply depot for the field and great piles of pipe lined the railway. An Era of High Prices. That was in the era of high prices, when the oil purchasing agency want ed the country developed. By and by it had more oil offered than it want ed and began to cut prices. Then the independent buyers and refiners got into the field. A fight began which became political and was taken into the state legislature. Restrictive laws were passed aimed at the Standard, producers lined up into "S. O." and independent camps, and the men in me ina-epenaent camps found them selves without a market. The price came tumbling. Light and heavy oil divisions were es tablished, and the independents said that a friend of the Standard would have light oil in one side of a road and on the other an anti-Standard man would have only heavy oil. In retaliation for adverse leg islation the Standard practicallv quit buy ins in the Kansas field and" companv after company went to the wall. Oil slumped as low as 26 cents. Profitable holdings were abandoned. Standard Buys Kansas Oil. That condition continued until a little more than a year ago when the price of crude oil began to advance slowly. The Standard's purchasing agency began to take all Kansas oil offered It. Now the Prairie Oil company is paying 70 cents and operators are looking for a further advance. There is not an idle rig in Mont gomery county, where .much oil territory is being redriiled; old welis. long aban doned, are being cleaned and put on the pumps, and new territory is being leased. In the field around Chanute drilling has been going forward steadily fo.- a year or more. Good wells are being developed in the Cherryvale field. Th old field just north and east of Coffeyville is being re vived, the Bolton field, southwest of In dependence, is being drilled again. Indications are that all over Ciiautau qua, Montgomery Wilson and Neosho counties will be found good pools. They will be good five, eight, ten and fifteen barrel welis which will pay nood interest on tbe investment. The Kansas oil field is coming into its own again. Boosters Beat Valley Kalis. Valley Falls, Kan., Sept. 23. In one of the most exciting games of the sea son the North Topeka Boosters defeat ed the Valley Falls team by a score of 8 to 5.

Mankato, Saturday September i. Belleville. BOY FOLLOWS CIRCUS, Earl Xason Missing Second Time in Six Weeks. Candidates for State Office Enter the Fight. Now J. S. Dean, president of the Re publican League, checks the issue squarely up to the Bull Moose candi dates on the state ticket and Insists I that they follow their leader's com mand and leave the Republican col umn. If they Insist on being for Roosevelt and not not "with" him In the Independent column, Dean ex plains in very emphatic language that a good many things may happen when the Republican voters go to the polls in November. In his utimatum issued to the Bull Moose candidates today. Dean explains the situation to Stubbs, Capper, Akers and others of the "Big Thirteen" in this language: "The ex-president issues a Macedon ian call for his followers to get over i into the Independent column with him. In his speech at Ottawa Saturday, ir. "Roosevelt said: 'If we can't get our ticket on the ballot without having Taf t s name over it, I trust that every Progressive can didate will get off the ballot and out from under the Taft heading. In no proper sense of the word is Mr. Taft the nominee of the party, but under the law in Pennsylvania, his name had to go at the head of the ticket. I was urged to allow the electors who were instructed for me to stay on tne xick et under Taft's name, but I refused, and I held then and hold now that no supporter of mine, with my consent, shall go on the ticket under a sign which would lead the voter to believe he was voting against me." "The Republican Party league will aid and assist a third party candidate by every means within its power to get his supports over into tne independ ent column with the Roosevelt eiec tors. By all means let 'every Progres sive candidate get off the ballot and out from under the Taft heading, air, Stubbs, Mr. Capper et al, why do you not follow your leader's can.' you have filled the state for months with loud claims to the effect that you are the 'Progressive candidates. Mr. Roosevelt recognizes you as his fol lowers. As you see, he has issued a strer.uous call for you to come over with him and vacate the false position in which you are now situated. Re member the wording of the Roosevelt battle cry: 'Follow, follow. We will follow Roosevelt, Anywhere he leads us. We will follow on.' "Besides, gentlemen, you not only havs the invitation of your adored ieader calling you to follow, but you have a unanimous invitation, amount ing practically to a command, from every Republican in the state of Kan sas to get out of their camp and make room for loyal and faithful Republi cans. "Again, it is not only the civil and decent thing for you to heed and obey the call of your leader, but, it is like wise the diDlomatic thing for you to do in order to avoid a multitude of swift kicks which the loyal Republi cans of Kansas will surely administer to you if you do not voluntarily get out of their camp." Following a meeting of the Repub lican state candidates, itineraries were announced for all of the candidates by J. N. Dolley, chairman of the state committee.

Governor Stubbs Tuesday September Earl Nason, the 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Nason, 1315 "West Fourteenth street, is again the cause of a good deal of worry on the part of his mother. The boy is missing for the second time in six weeks and as ne hasn't been seen since last Thursday, his mother fears he has joined the Sells-Floto circus. A little more than a month ago Mi-j. Nason reported to Sheriff Jonathan D Norton that the boy was missing and asked assistance in locating him. Hi; was found employed in a livery staole at Wakarusa, where he had gone ti earn some money. He returned home a lew pays ago to start to school. Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock he left with his school books under his arm, presumably for school. As he he has not been seen since his mother believes he may have joined the circus. Sheriff Norton one more has been asked to assist in locating the boy. He i? said to be of a nervous disposition, and to be eager to earn something for him self. This, it is believed, has led him to run away. WONDERAT VIRTUE Boys' Ruin Blamed Upon Fash ion by Dr. Loveland. Speaker Pleads for Welcome fo Strange Young People. HER FOOTCUT OFF Mary Perry Tried to Crawl Un der Freight Trani. It Started Suddenly -Narrow Escape From Death. "If you want to cross a track, don't crawl under the cars, that s the .id vice of Mrs. Mary Perry of North To peka who lost a foot Sunday afternoon by sliding undor a freight train Mrs. Perry, who lives on North Fill more, was hurrying across the west tracks in the Union Pacific yards l3te yesterday afternoon. She was en route for church, and a long freight train interfered with her progress. Glanc ing down the tracks she thought rle ascertained that no engine was at tached to the cars. She dropped on her knees, flattened her.elf on the ground, and started to crawl beneath a cattle car. When she was half way across, the long train creaked, jerked and began to move. With a terriiio wrench, Mrs. Perry pulled herself over the ground; she saved herself, but the heavy wheels ground over her foot. Her cries arrested the stoker, who raced back over the rails; and placed the woman in the coa.l car. He took her to the station, called an ambulance, and she was driven jn hot haste to Stormont hospital, where her foot was amputated. Dr. Munn, Dr. Wehe and Dr. Ernest were in the consultation, and think the woman's condition is not dangerous. Unless blood DOisoninz sets in, she is likely to recover. She is a widow, with one son, about 15 years old. SECOND THOUGHT. Judge Atherton Says Roosevelt Move ment Loses by It. Judge Otis L. Atherton of Russell is in Topeka today. Judge Atherton has been one of the leading Republi cans of Russell county for over thirty years, and is well posted on political conditions in his home county. The ex-sU-te senator and treasurer is fully satisfied that the Bull Moose move ment is losing strength in Kansas, as judged by his own county. "In Russell county," said Judge Atherton, "the change from Roosevelt to Taft has been rapid. A large num ber of Republicans who were carried away by the first wave of Roosevelt excitement have taken a second thought, and are now supporting the regular ticket. But a stiU larger number of Republicans are repudiat ing Stubbs on the grounds that he has no right to the support oi real rtepuD licans." Politics holds a small place in the concern of Judge Atherton at present. He i! worried over the ravages of the horse disease, which has killed about 35 per cent of the Russell county horses, and will seriously hamper the farmers in caring for one of the larg est crops of many seasons. VANDERBILT HEIR. Son Is Born to Wife of the Head of the House. "There are certain things at the theater and on the street in respect to dress, that are so indecent that the young men wonder at the virtue of their mothers and sisters," said Dr. F. L. Loveland in speaking Sunday night at the First Methodist church of the perils that confront young people who com into the city. "I would to God that some of you women wearing these new styles born in Paris would please remember that you are laying the foundation for the ruination of many a boy in your city. When I look at the hobble and the harem and the tube growing shorter at bcth ends and thinner everywhere, I wonder what the fashions are com ing to and what our women are think ing about." Dr. Loveland told how in the past ten years the population of the cities has increased out of proportion to that of the rural districts in the United States; how invention has made it possible to do more work on the farms with fewer men. Seventy-five thous and young people go to Chicago in a month, he said, and to Topeka this fall, according to conservative esti matet, two thousand young men and one thousand girls have come for educational purposes or have been drawn through the allurement of ma terial gain. "There is great opportunity for mental, material, and social Improve ment in Topeka," said the speaker, "but loneliness is the great peril that confronts many a young person. There is the danger of getting started wrong. Loss of ideals is another grave peril. "These young people who come to Topeka would rather have a warm handshake and a hearty welcome than anything else. In God's name, young people break up your social cliques long enough to extend a hand to that boy or girl from the country. "Would to God that I could have one hundred families in the Methodist church that every Sunday noon would put cn an extra plate and would invite some lonesome boy to go home with them."

Surrey, England, has been received today by Mrs. C Haziltone Basshor, mother of Mrs. Vanderbilt, who was formerly Miss Margaret Emerson. Mrs. Basshor's cable message was from Mr. Vander bilt. It was brief, simply stating that Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt were the parents of a fine boy and that both the mother and her child are doing well. The Vanderbilt infant will rank with the richest children in tne world and in all likelihood will become as fa mous as the celebrated McLean baby of Washington. It will be heir to not less than $50,000,000 and probably more. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt have been living in their houseboat on the Thames, quietly awaiting 'tne expected event which has been anticipated with keen anxiety by both families. Now that it is all over, there is great re joicing over the realization of the hopes that a son would be born to inherit the father's wealth. CANDIDATES MEET.

Card of 5 Curlers 25c LED BYAV0MAN Automobile Bandits Rob Jew elry Store in Xen York. Secure Loot Valued at $-3,000 in Broad Daylight. New York, Sept. 23. Led by a wo man, automobile bandits rivaling in boldness the taxicab robbers of Paris tnd the perpetrators of simlar crimes on the lower Bast side of New York secured $5,000 worth of loot in broad daylight from the jewelry store of George Richman, 111 Second avenue. Just across the street services were going- on in the Reformed Episcopal Dutch church and scores of people were passing up and down the thor oughfare, yet so rapidly was the rob bery committed that no one noticed anything unusual. Richman was in his shop stocking his window with a display of jewelry. The safe was open and a number of trays of diamond rings and jewelry left for repair were lying on a shelf just back of the counter. An automo bile bearing two men in the back seat and a woman who seemed to be di recting the chauffeur, with the dri ver on the front seat, stopped at a coor below Richman's store. A well dressed man entered and gave the jew eler a dirty watch chain to be cleaned. Richman went to a brush wheel in the back of the store to clean it. The stranger followed him and the jeweler bent over the wheel a revolver was jabbed into his ribs and he was order ed to "shut up and be quick about it." A towel was bound across his mouth, his hands and feet -were tied with j ieces of wire and with his own belt. Then he was laid helpless behind a counter while another man entered and the pair took $825 in cash and more than $4,000 worth of diamond rings and pendants, a number of which had been left for repair by their own ers. During the robbery the woman occu pant of the machine did not leave it, but kept up an animated conversation with the chauffeur. Mrs. Tobias, a Jewish actress, and Miss Yetta Simon, entered the store just as the robbers were leaving but thought nothing or them until they found Richman bound and gagged. The engine of the auto mobile had been kept running at full speed and the robbers escaped but Richman was able to give a good de scription of them. ELECTION TOMORROW Voters WU1 Pass on Plan to Spend $145,000 for Bridges. Tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock the polling places in Topeka will be open ed to the voters of the city who wish to register their views on the $145,000 bond issue for new bridges. In the evening at 7 o'clock me polls will close The voters should understand this I leature or the ballot tomorrow each bridge has two propositions printed on the ballots. In one square you vote on the proposition to build the bridges. In another you vote on the bond issue for this bridge. In other words, if you wish to vote favoring a bridge it is necessary to vote for both sections. The questions are numbered 1 to 28. If you vote for the first bridge you place your cross behind Nos. 1 and 2. The second bridge, numbers 3 and 4. And so on. Failure to vote for either question of a bridge counts agairst the bridge. The voting undoubtedly will be light. Very little interest is manifest ed in the citv. ROBBED IN THE STREET Man Is Held Ep by Bandits in a Tour Ing far New York, Sept. 23.

Four to Five and Some Seven to Ten Money Xow Offered. New York, Sept. 23. Heavy wagering or; the result of the coming worlds series between the New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox has begun 'n pf.rnest. Thousands of dollars have been posted already both here and in Boston, not to mention the other ma jor league citis and the indications are that before the teams clash in the first g&me, a sum of enormous proportions will hang in the balance. A canvass of leading betters at var ious? locations Saturday night revealed t:w- indisputable fact that the Red Sox are hot favirites and that the prevail ing odds offered by their supporters are five to four. Men who backed the Giants heavily liirt year, chiefly because the strength ano skill of the Athletics were under estimated, cannot figure McGraw's men in any way this year. Well known brokers and business men who make a Piactioe of betting on sporting events showed memoranda Saturday night covering strings of bets on the Red Sox as long as your arm. In each case those who backed the Giants secured five to four or ten to eight with a little ten to seven now and then. Prominent layers of odds, bookmak ers on the race tracks in former years, have also made the Red Sox odds-on favorites. A week ago these gamblers were laying four to five against the Boston Champions, but they got such a big play that yesterdaj- it was said that seven to ten would be on tap this week ani', perhaps three to five. In fact, bis speculators said that it would not be surprising if they quoted one to two against the Red Sox by the time the series begins. BKIDGK BOND ISSUE PLAX. East Side Man Discussed Cost of Im provements. Editor State Journal: I would like very much to have space in your valuable paper for this article as an interested tax payer :ii the city. A few years ago we discuss ed the question of taxing all property at its cash value. The argument was made in its favor that it would aot make taxes any higher. The result is that taxes went higher, and in many cases doubled. We cannot keep on piling up notes against our property upon which to pay interest, and re duce our taxes. The people who pay rent are as much interested in this bond proposition which will still add to our taxes, as the property owner; for higher taxes means higher rents. The renter now has about all he can stand along with his high cost of liv ing. We are all members of this mu nicipal family and equally interested, and we cannot eat our cake and have it. These bonds are notes for $145,000 against the property owners and rent ers of our city. The way our bonded indebtedness is now being managed, the interest and principal mav be $300,000 before they can be paid. If these bridges must be re-built, why not levy a V mill or 1 mill tax get the money first and save the interest, which will be about $7,000 annually. This would build one or two bridges annually and in a short time thev could all be built and paid for. Jf this can't be done now under the law vote these bonds down wait a littie while, and get a special act of tha legislature through to make this levy and pay as we go. These bridges are not in such bad condition. They may need some repairs like a pair of pants with a hole in them. What would the frugal man do, go in debt for a new pair or patch the hole? With three-quarters of billion of U. S. government bonds falling due within the next four to six years we may get "pinched" hard enough w-ithout $145,000 municipal bonds added to our already heavy bonded indebted ness. To get right down to "brass tacks," common sense tnd reason with those who continually live beyond their means go in debt, vote bonds, raise their own rents (unconsciously), and then complain of high taxes and the high cost of living. They are not entitled to much, if any, sympathy, if they lose their homes. I never heard any one yet claim that to place a mortgage on his property would en hance its value. Is it not a fact that it depreciates the value of property to have it mortgaged? These bonds will be a mortgage; they will increase our taxes and just in proportion to the increase of our taxes just in that pro portion we will deDreciate the value of our property. They are closely re lated to the high protective tariff, and the trust, and the trust drove me out of business in Topeka. Our taxes are now $17.00. or about that, on the thousand, and if we keep running them up. we will run ourselves out after awhile. J. A. DAVIS. CAUSE IS FOUND Electrolysis Costs Topekans Thousands Each Tear. City Water Pipes Damaged by Street Car Electricity. BOND THE MAINS AT ONCE Topefca Railway Company Will Pay Cost of Work. Mysterious Service Pipe De stroyer Is Discovered. After suffering an enormous loss in damages to water pipes for years, the city finally has decided to take action and arrange with the Topeka Railway company a bonding of the city mains. It is stated that the bonding process will almost entirely eliminati; the trouble with electrolysis a form of electricity that eats away wa-or service pipes. The details of the new plan will be formulated by Albert M. Patten, general superintendent of the railway company and H. P. Mille", city commissioner, some time this week. City Commissioner Miller said th'S afternoon that he hoped to be able to report the plan in full to the board of commissioners Friday morning. It is understood at the city hall that the entire expense of bonding the water mains and the street railway rails and poles will be borne by th street car company. The city will furnish a few copper caps costing only a few dollars. The railway will io the work and pay the costs under tho supervision of the city electric light and waterworks departments. Losses Have Been Enormous. For years the city of Topeka has beer, baffled by the short 'ife of water i service mains. Pipes laid in the ground j unclfr strict plumbing supervision and the best workmanship and with high class materials have been perforated and rotted in two years. Tt has been an endless cost to water consumers, it hps rrined city pavements and has allowed dangerous leaks to cripple the service. Commissioner Miller first believed it was poor plumbing. He put an or dinance through the city commission notching every plumbing detail. No threads in the joints were allowed to be exposed. All pipes were ordered pcinted. An inspection was placed on fvery piece of work. Still the leaks appeared. "We are positive that electrolysis is the oi-.use," Commissioner Miller saii this afternoon. "With the bonding of the n-ains and the street car rails and cables we will be able to do away with a large per cent of this trouble. I di not want to consumers to think, how ever, that this will guarantee them en tirely from water service leaks." Boiling down the technical explana tion the cause is this: Current from the street car rails in attempting to re- j turn to the negative current in the cables follows the water mains to the service pipes and then darts from these to the rails or cables of the track above. When the current leaves the pipes, th damage is done. It is called electrolysis. The mains will be connected with the 'current in such a manner that the juice win not ionow the service pipes. Instead it will leave the mains directlv to the tracks above. Work on the bonding will begin soon. PULSE BEATS BY WIRE Doctor, Miles Away, Can Note Heart Action by Phone. Cambridge. Mass., Sept. 23. That it t? now possible for a physician to note the heart beats of a patient who may be on the other side of the worid is the a.-srer-tion of Dr. Percy E. Brown of the Har vard Medical school. An lnstrun-enl that would make this possible is now installed j in the Harvard Medical school jjr. Drown says: "There is practically no limit to the dis tance by which, through this method, tl.e palpitations of the heart coul.l be seen. With the proper attachments the heart beats could be carried around the world. The only difference between transmitting the heart beats 100 miles and sending them around the world would be the de lay due to the longer distance. i "All the patient has to do is to place his or her hands in a solution of warm salt, water, the electric current from the hands which are the positive and negative poles, is carried by wires to the instrument which shows the heart beats."

O'Neill pro tested against Reynolds being award ed to Cincinnati in the recent draft on the ground that in the draft pa pers, the player's home club was given as Minneapolis. Kan., instead of To peka. The commission awarded Reynolds back to the Vestern League club. HE CAUGHT CROOK. Kossiler of Rock Island Landed Clever Short Chan&e Artist. What is considered one of the most clever catches of a thorough crook seen in Topeka in a long time was that accomplished by Chief Special Officer John Kossiter yesterday in capturing a man who. calls himself John Gardner, and who is believed to have worked a smooth "con" game on Louis F. Thoer ner, one of the managers of the new Hotel Paso del Norte at El Paso, Tex. Gardner and Thoerner both were pas sengers on Rock Island No. 3, the Golden State Limited, that reached To peka yesterday at noon. Thoerner was busy with some correspondence in the observation car when a man approach ed and declaring he had been told he had time to mail a letter at Topeka, asked if large bills in place of small ones could be furnished him. Thoerner, willing to oblige, asked what was wanted and was told $50 would do. He produced the fifty and was asked for $10 more, which he also produced. Gardner, or a man who is believed to have been Gardner, handed a bundle of small bills in return, slip ped the money he had received into a stamped envelope and sealed it up, slipping into his outside coat pocket as Thoerner counted the small bills. The package handed to Thoerner con tained only $32, whereupon the "con" man expressed surprise, declared his wife had given him the money and offered to go back and get enough, meantime handing Thoerner a sealed stamped envelope As the train was leaving Topeka Thoerner. mistrusting his companion. opened the envelope given him to find neatly folded tissue, paper in place, of his bills. The alarm was sent back from Valencia; and a few minutes later Rossiter, who had been watching around the depot, nabbed Gardner. The prisoner told a muddled story of hii whereabouts, his business, etc., and when searched was found to have $80 or $90 in money, including a $00 bill on his person. A warrant has been issued for him. THIS SHOULD Will. Suffragists Use Hair Tonic to Got Bald Headed Vote. The feminine vote chasers of Kan sas are swapping hair and hair tonic for votes. The women who are leading the Kansas equal suffrage battle are reaching out for the bald headed men. Lieten to what Mrs. Lilla Day Mon roe, foremost r.uffragist of Topeka, has to say about It. "If we can make hair grow on every bald head in Kansas1 before the fifth day of November," she declares, "wo will win this battle for the ballot and for justice." Mrs. Monroe wants to vole. Therefore she is willing to make and sell hair tonic to the man who is as hairless as a Mexican poodle. She wants this hairless person's gratitude, therefore she maneuvers through his gratitude for his vote. "We have tried every plan we could think of to get bald headed men In terested; now we are going after hi;n with the promise of hair.

T BE PUT OUT Preacher Uses Baseball to Show Religious Points. Bible Is the Spalding Rules for Life's Game. New York, Sept. 23. The Rev. Dr. Christian F. Reisner, pastor of Grace Methodist church, said in a baseball sermcn on "You're Cut" at last even ing's service, that the "Bible is the t;nt,i.--ir,o- K.v ruioa for the game of lire," and he was sure that St. Taul I wouk". have been a fan had tne game been played in his day. Dr Reisner went among baseball men to get material for his discourse and talked with forty players in the past two weeks. He also found time to read Matty's famous "Pitching in a Pinch." It was estimated that more than 1.200 persons, including a number of Dodgers, Pirates and Cardinals, heard his talk. He said: "Every baseball piayer l XTr must De carerui oi nis grittv player wants to be put out. That is why he wants to fight the umpire. Many get put out ot tne piaying manentlv when it might be avoided. That is equally true in life's game. St. Paul Would Be Fan. "St Paul was interested in all athle tic sports of his day, and used them a illustrations to carry truth. He fear ed that after preaching to otners ne might be a castaway. That is an out in the end. He played to win. That is what we must do. "Being put out," the clergyman said, "if: due to. over anxiety, under train ing and too little efficiency. The first letter of the three causes spells 'out.' He told of "baseball jinxes," and sain that many a fellow failed in the field or at the bat because of over anxiety. "Only full ability working every min ute, unclouded by worry, will bring the best results." he said. "God sim ply wants you to do your best. He Is net going to ask you to do more than you can. Do your best in playing the game of life. "They tell me that Meyers in order to keep in training while he had a sore fcot sat in a rocking chair and caught balls thrown by Matty for fifteen min utes. That's the kind of grit, isn't it? Husk Chance has been hit on the head forty times with a ball and. has never been scared yet." TOPEKA AD CLUB, Will Hold First Fall Meeting Next Tuesday. The Topeka advertising club will hold the first meeting of the fall season next week Tuesday when the members will arrange the details of a Topeka adver tising campaign.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 23, 1912 TWO BIG CROWDS HEAR ROOSEVELT SeTen Thousand Topekans Cheer Bull Moose Leader. Old Parties, Wilson, Archhold and Penrose Flayed. LAUDS KANSAS AS LEADER Progressives to Follow Stubbs Example, lie Says. Speaker's Voice Almost Fails in Spt eech at Grand. Theodore Raasevelt talked to more than 7,000 people'in his two speeches delivered Saturday night in Topekti Me confined himself strictly to natlona issues, made Woodrow Wilson, Demo cratlc nominee for president, his priii clpal subject of attack: and judiciously avoided a collision with Kansas issues Roosevelt's throat Is still causing tr"U ble and the progressive presidential nominee was in bad voice. For th: reason the oratorical display was per naps a disappointment to the hundrad; of curious ones who went to hear the Chief Bull Moose. One of the largest crowds that ever attended a meeting In the Auditorium heard Roosevelt's speech. At 7:30 tic convention hall was- packed. It was an hour later when Roosevelt, Stubbs, White, and other of the Progressive leaders entered the hall. A one min ute demonstration greeted Roosevelt It was the chief outbreak of the ening. The Moose SO Minutes Late. hue the crowd waited Datientl'i for the rough rider, cheer leaders who were turnished prominent places the stage and at the front of the ha'.i. tried to arouse enthusiasm. The he-a of the bull moose that overlooked the speakers stand, blinked its 16 candle power incandescent eyes and snorted tnrougn tup red electric bulbs in it.3 nostrils. This amused the crowd but did not create undue hilarity. A cheer leader advanced to the front of the stage and hip hoorayed for Tedly. But the crowd followed timidly and r.o furniture was broken. Men and wom en who could not find seats, began to complain of the delay, but once in th ha!l there was no escape. Then SO minutes late the Bull Moose leaders appeared. The crowd cheered respect fully, the che3r leaders' threw their hats in the air and made the only noise- or the evening that resembled a panic on the board of trade. Governor Stubbs introduced Roost-, velt. He consumed very little tim and as a consequence was welcomed almost as noisily as Roosevelt himself. The introduction was concluded almost before Colonel Roosevelt had removed his overcoat.. As he hurried to the front of the stage, he smiled the Roosevelt smile, the electrician did sme fast work with the little red and white bulbs in the eyes and nostrils of tne moose head and the crowd cheer ed again- Then it settled, back to watch the tanning of the political hides of a few Kansas politicians and was disappointed. The 5,000 people in the auditorium strained their ear drums to hear the colonel's opinion of the presidential electoral situation in Kansas and were again disappoint ed. Twice Roosevelt was interrupts d Each time the crowd yelled as the rough rider displayed his teeth Anl flayed his interrogator. He Tells of Old Parties. It was the two old parties the Re publicans and the Democrats who re ceived Roosevelt's greatest attentat; Next came his defense of Perkins- contrite of heart and penitent, who contributed to the Roosevelt campaign fund for the sake of moral uplift, And then the denunciation of Archibald and Penrose mean, little, low and vicious agents of a reactionary move ment who strove to manipulate the in terests nf BIk Business through the nartv to which the speaker once be longed. Overriding it all was the hog tvine and branding of Wilson for his free and unlimited dissemination of "inverted truth." For 15 minutes Roosevelt told his audience that he wanted to shed the Kansas wav of doing things abroad !n the land. He took for his text of the Kansas svstem the Stubbs encounter with the Harvester trust and shed un stinted praise on the auburn haired Kansas executive. To Follow Stubbs Example. "What Governor Stubbs has done to the Harvester trust in Kansas, we Pro gressives propose to do to the trusts In the nation, said Roosevelt in dis cussing the policies of the new party. "If Governor Wilson knew the life oi the American communities of today fts he knows the communities of th? past he would have spared himself some grave errors and spared me the neces sity of correcting him." Then Roosevelt devoted his time largely to a reply to Wilson's Detroit and Columbus speeches and urged that WHEN THE DANDRUFF BEGINS TO FALL You'll know there is something wrong.

And in speaking of Taft, the Bull Moose leader found occasion to flay Archbald and Penrose and these thrusts caused the cheer leaders in the front rows to bubble over afresh. Once a man yelled "Hurrah for Wilson," and someone responded with a yell to "put him out," but Roosevelt insisted the Democrat should stay. "Don't throw him out he's an ignorant creature shouted Roosevelt, "let him stay." Only on one other occasion was the speake interrupted. It was nearly the close cT the one hour and 30 minute speech.

HER NINTH FLAG Boston Has Had Eierht Pen nants in 24 Years. Tim Murnane Tells of Diamond Generals There. The veteran baseball editor of the Boston "Globe." Tim Murnane. while in reminiscent mood the other day, wrote: "In my 24 years on the 'Globe' have reported the games at home and have traveled with the teams on the road. In that time Boston ha3 had eight pennant winners. That means that just one-third of the time had the satisfaction of seeing the players go through all the disappoint ments and thrills of a rugged baseball campaign. 'The managers of the winners were: Mike Kelly, once; Frank Selee, five times, and James Collins, twice. Th3 captains, or the men who led the boys on the field, were: Mike Kelly, once: William Nash, three times; Hugh Duffy, twice; and James Collirs. twice. Of these, Hugh D-jffy alone of the successful gener als, is still in the game, as manager of he Milwaukee club. Mike Kelly had a free rein, as did James Collins. Both were managers as well as captains on he field, and were naturally in closo touch with their players. "Nash and Duffy were under the direction of Frank Selee. who made ittle pretence of knowing anything about inside baseball, but who did know a lot about human nature, and. besides, had the faculty of developing brotherly feeling among his men. Selee would keep no man on his team who failed to display a personal in terest In the success of the team.

Heralds McCrea Better Times Coming. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 23. Prosperity that will eclipse anything the nation has ever enjoyed is what James McCrea president of the Pennsylvania railroad.- sees in tne future. McOrea came into Pittsburg ms' night. Asked what he thought of the business situation, he said: "Prosperity why it is here! Everybody can see that. The pulse of the whole country is beating to the rhythm of hap pier times. And we are just entering the new era of prosperity." Of the prospect for a car shortage, Mc Crea sala: "So far as the outlook for the whole country is concerned, it would be impos sible to nredict. "This problem of car shortage, depends upon several factors. First, there is the question of the ability of the farmers to store their grain. When they are not com pelled by financial stress to realize upon it quickly there is not the element of rush that suddenly brings an acute situation in car distribution. "Farmers have not had such bumper crops in years. If tnere are storage fa cilities in their own bins or in their loca elevators for the bounteous crops and I think there are this year another factor in car shortage is removed. "Annther imnortant factor is the co operation of shipper and eonsUinee. The one can help by loading promptly and the other by unloading promptly. DIXCY IS AUDITOR OF FRISCO.

"That something of this sort may grow out of the present United States public health service there is reason to believe," continued the president. but it will need far greater appropri ations and a widening of its scope of duties before it shall have filled the place that the medical profession cf this country nas a right to expect lhe general government to create in the progress of hygiene and demography." Referring to the subiect of tropical hygiene. President Taft said: Our responsibilities m Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines and now "n the Isthmus of Panama have so en larged our knowledge of the posslbili- ies of successful sanitation under ths most burdensome conditions' and have so impressed both professional men and the laymon at all familiar with the conditions with the necessity for more rigid and comprehensive health laws and a stricter enforcement of them for the general public good that if the Spanish war resulted in nothing else, it was worth greatly more tnan its cost in this useful development ot one of the most important functions that modern government has to d.s charge as well as in making clear the need of an additional branch of general education in the mater of hygiene of the home and the individual. Record In the Tropics. "When we first went into the trop ics our purpose was to make that re gion habitable for white people. We have demonstrated that as a possibil ity. Now we have gone beyond the mere provision for those who come from the temperate zone and we are engaged in developing the tropical races into a strength of body and fr-ie-dom from disease that they have never had before. "I consider it a proud record of the American army that through its medi cal corps engaged in hygiene work in the tropics so many important discov eries as to the transmisison of diaeise and methods of stopping its spread have been given to the world, and ail of this is dated chiefly from the tin. of the Spanish war. "It is very certain that but for those discoveries the construction of the ca nal which now since 1904 has been go ing on with a;iant strides, and which will be completed within a year, would have been impossible. The possibili ties of improvement through govern mental hygiene of tropical countr'"? are so great that it makes one who has any conception of what they are, grow enthusiastic in the contemplation of what centuries may bring forth in this regard."

Break Hinges and Locks Drop to Freedom. Three boys who were held for a hearing in the Juvenile court, broke the hinges and locks on doors at the city prison Sunday night and escaped. Two of the boys, Daniel Lowry and Samuel Eowman, both fifteen yeirs old, were arrested about ten days ago for robbing Fred Voiland's store at Kiro. They are from Chicago. The other boy, Willard McLane, aged 13 years, was being held on the charge of incorrigibility. Sowman and Lowry were confined in a cell in the women's ward in the second story of the prison. They be gan operations by cutting the screen of heavy wire which' was on the win dow of their cell. Learning that es cape in this manner was impossible, they turned their attention to the doo and broke the hinges, parts of which extended from the casings Inside the cell. Then they swung the door around on its hasp which was held secure by the lock. This allowed tho two boys to enter the corridor to .loin McLane who was in an unlocked cell. The lock on the corridor door was old and the boys were successful in foic ing it by throwing their combined weight against it. The boys entered the detectives' room and they continued operations by cutting the screen on a window ;n the north side of the room. They crawled out on the ledge of the win dow, dropped to the ground and then climbed over the stone yard fence. Members of the family of Deputy Sheriff Josiah Ross saw the boys climb over the fence and notified Jail er Al Hopkins. Two In Trouble Before. Lowry and Bowman were arrested at Rossville. They were brought here for an investigation in the Juvenile court, but their hearing has been de layed on account of the absence of AV. P. Schoch, Judge of the court. Their home is in Chicago and they admitted to the officers that they had police records in the windy city and hnd been in juvenile courts on more than one occasion. McLane was arrested Saturday af ternoon for failing to attend school. Detective Frank Summers found him near the feed lots on Quincy street be tween Sixth and Seventh streets. Nothing has been heard of the boys who broke Jail Sunday night. The po lice searched 'he city Sunday night and again today but have been unable to hear anything concerning them x ceptir.g that they were seen in the vi cinity of the Rock Island passenger station about an hour after they cot out of the city prison. These boys were put in the women's ward upon the instruction of Chief of Police Morris Jenkins because he did not want them to mix up with the hardened characters in the main cor ridor of the prison. It is his policy t" put boys in the women's ward as r. protection of Ms kind. The women's ward is not escape proof. The cell doors are of wood, and in fact they could not be consid ered cells, but rooms. It was one of these doors that was torn off i'.s hinges when the boys made their es cape. AGGIES AREAT WORK.
