The New York Nationals defeated the Boston Red Sox by a ecore of 2 to 1 today, making the world's series contest so far stand: Boston one game and New York on game, and one tie contest. It was a pitchers' battle today in which the Jeft hander Marquard held the home club helpless until the last inning when they garnered a run on sharp hitting by Lewis and Gardner. An error of a thrown ball put a man on second and third for Boston but Devore by a nice running catch off Cady's bat saved the day for the Giants. The New Yorks' hitting was timely and effective.

It Was Battle Song of Famous 1903 Series. Fenway Park, Boston, Oct. 10. Twenty thousand spectators passed through the turnstiles of Fenway park today to watch the Boston American League champions engage in the third contest with the New York Nationals for the world's champion ship. All Boston paused to eaten us breath today. A reaction from the exhausting excitement of yesterday's 11 inning struggle was inevitable, tne Red Sox owners said, and pointed to many empty seats in the outfield stands as an evidence of this re action. The playing of a game today instead of tomorrow made it impossible for hundreds, unable to adjust their bus- ness engagements on such short no tice, to attend. The reserved seats having been sold previously, were well filled. Some ardent "fans" waited up all night for the gates to open. A warm sun and a gentle northerly breeze at noon dispelled the clouds that had threatened rain all the morn- insr. The smart showers during the night had little effect on the infield. O'Brien and carrigan lor .tsoston and Marquard and Meyers tor rvew York seemed the choice tor today s batteries. The Bostons were the nrst on tne field for batting practice. The Giants came on tne neia suou aiici American Leaguers. Rpnnrts that several players 01 both teams would insist that the team members share, not only in tne re Pints of yesterdays tie contest, dui n the next three games as well, which nlnrlinir the New York game last Tnesdav would make five games in all, were scouted by members of the national commission. Secretary John Heidler said that the players would share only in the first four games of the series and that yesterday s con test though a tie, would count as one nf the four games. A rule to cover the question of tie games was drafted some time ago by the national com mission. "Tessie" Is Boston Battle Song. The great bulk of the crowd came late. The "royal rooters" led by a brass band, playing "Tessie," the bat tle song of the famous Boston-Pittsburg series of 1903, marched across the field and took their seats in the stands behind left field. When the Bed Sox went out for field practice the home club fans groaned when they noticed that Tris Speaker, the Boston heavy hitter, limp ed perceptibly. Speaker wrenched his ankle slightly sliding to first in the third inning yesterday. The two teams put up a fast field ing practice and the stop and throws of the players were loudly cheered. Both Fletcher and Shafer practiced at shortstop and it looked as though Manager McGraw contemplated sup planting the regular shortstop, whose misplays yesterday were costly, with Shafer the young Californian. An automobile was presented to Speaker for being the most valuaoie player of his team of any player in the Arrerican League. "Buck" O'Brien Pitches for Boston. It was announced that the batteries for New York would be iiarquard and Meyers and for Boston O'Brien and Corrigan. D evore plays right field and Murray left field. The change was made as Murray usually plays a sun field. The crowd laughed when it was an nounced that if the ball hit any of the policemen stationed along the rear fences, the ball wouid be considered still in play. Umpire Evan went beaind tb.e bat; l"I-fH"l"I'I"I"!"H"l-l"I"H"I'4-"l"H"H- SECOND GAME FACTS. Official paid attendance, 30, 148. Total receipts, $58,369. Players' share, $31,519.26.

It is dark and chilly today, a mist mak ing things all the more disagreeable. The forecast for tonight and Friday is not encouraging. "It will be damp, chiliv, cold, and dreary," said "Sunny" Flori, the local observer. "And you can use all the other disagreeable adjectives you cxn think of," was the after-comment of tris gentleman.

Lincoln and Grant Said He Made Soldiers by Music. Chicago, Oct. 10. Jules Lumbard, who with his brother Frank, Charles M Smith, and John M. Hubbard, assistant postmaster of Chicago, organized in 1M0. a patriotic quartette that was credited ty Lincoln and Grant with having induced thousands of men to enter the federal army, died here at the age of 84 years. Lumbard and his brother toured tho northern states In 1S60. He sang tne "Battle Hymn of the Republic" the first time it was heard in Chicago. General Grant declared that the singing of tne Lumbard brothers brought 20,000 men to the army and President Lincoln, speak ing at a banquet, said: "Let me tell you that two men and they are not military men by their sing ing have got more men to enlist than fifty of our best recruiting officers evjr addressed. They are Jules and Frank Lumbard." Frank Lumbard died some years ago. Jules, after the war, made a fortune of several hundred thousand dollars in the Pennsylvania oil fields. He lost this Out later was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company and the old age pen Fion of $45 a month allowed him by the company was his sole support for several years. 'CHIEF' MEYERS' STORY Giants' Catcher Gives Version of Game for State Journal. By John (Chief) Meyers. We're just one day nearer the base bali championship of the world. I had my mouth all set half a dozen times Wednesday to say we were one game nearer, but unfortunately I have to wait till tonight now. That world's" series pennant is ours as sure as you're born. I regret as much as the most ardent Giant root er that we failed to win "Wednesday. But somehow I feel that we really achieved more than we would in vic tory. We tackled the Red Sox right in their own back yard, a spot we saw for the first time and we fought them to a standstill. We came back in the face of a three run disadvantage at the start and before the game was over drove two of their best pitchers to the woods. I am not trying to make any excuses for our failure to win. I really acknowledge that we tossed off victory on several occa sions when It had been sewed up tight for any sort of real Giant base ball. W"e overlooked opportunities time and again. But it was an ex perience that should do us a world of good. It takes the sort of stuff of which the Giants are made to come through as our team did. If after that first inning one man had shown the least faintheartedness, our cause would have been lost. I tell you we have a lot of faith in Mathewson and we simply could not see him beaten. Ex'ery fellow on the team was full of life and action every minute of the game. I know I never worked hard er in my life and I am sure each of my fellow players can say the same thing of himself. Mathewson should have work He did not lose. He will come back stronger in the next game just as Tesreau will come back stronger. McGraw, by keeping Matty-in the box throughout the entire eleven innings forced Jake Stahl to uncover his hand. Stahl has just one veteran pitcher we have not seen, his spit ball manipulator, Buck O'Brien. It is doubtful if this fellow will be sent against us. The rest we have met and liked. Collision on B. O. Chicago Junction. O., Oct. 10. Engine-jr Ranahan of Garrett. Ind., was killed and Fireman Leeland of the same place was fatally Injured in the collision here of Baltimore Ohio passenger train No. 14 and a string of freight cars left on the main track. Five mail clerks were hurt, none fatally. None, of the passengers was injured. Good Sized Crowd at Rock Island Depot to Hear. Meekins Once Loved the Col onel, but the Bolt Hurt. Probably 800 Topeka people went to the Rock Island depot late yesterday afternoon to hear the speeches of Senator Theodore Burton, of Ohio, and Isaac M. Meekins, of North Carolina, who are trailing Woodrow Wilson and flaying both the Democratic and Bull Moose presidential nominees in a search for Taft votes. Senator Bur ton was In bad voice and after a 15 minute speech, gave way to Meekins who flayed Roosevelt to the intense delight of the Taft supporters in the crowd. He branded Wilson as a free trader and urged that his policies were a menace to the country in gen eral. The tariff train on which Senator Burton and Meekins are the principal speakers, was in Topeka an hour. (Continued on page 3.) HURrEDjTFEET Motorcyclist Hits Street Car and Receives Fractured Knee. M. P. McDoffy Injured Near Entrance to Elmhurst. The Mulvane street speedway in the southwestern part of the city received its fi-st blotch of blood this morning when M. P. McDuffy, an employee of the Bell Telephone company, riding north on a motorcycle and an east bound street car collided at the cor ner of Mulvane street and Huntoon facing the Elmhurst entrance. McDuffy was thrown 15 feet from the car tracks to the parking and he receiv ed a fractured knee and sustained several bruises about the face and body. The accident, occurred at 8 o'clock. this morning. McDuffy was riding north down the Mulvane street motor thoroughfare at high speed. A Wash-burn-Huntoon street car in charge of Motorman Hubbard and Conductor Humston was picking up speed after leaving the switch at Huntoon and College avenue. The motorman and the motorcyclist saw each other too late. The street car man applied the brakes. McDuffy backpeddled and swung his machine around the corner in an attempt to slide up Huntoon street parallel with the car. The speed of the motorcycle could not be "choked," however, and as the front wheel edged over the car tracks the fender of the street car struck the motorcycle and McDuffy was hurled in the air striking on his back 15 feet from the point of collision. Carpenters, street car passengers and workmen picked up the motorcycl ist and Dr. C. B. VanHorn, who lives nearby, was called. McDuffy was ta ken to Christ's hospital in Dr. Van Horn's motor car. He is resting com fortably this afternoon. McDuffy lives at 122 West Sixth avenue. Observers stated after the ac cident that the blame could not be place either with the motorman or the driver of the motorcycle. The street car was stopped half way between Mulvane and Garfield streets. The fact that Mulvane street, newly paved, smooth, and an artery of southwestern thoroughfare is used freely by speed ing motors is the only cause that can be relied upon. To residents living near the corner of Mulvane and Hun toon streets it has appeared marvelous that more accidents have not occurred at this corner. It is not unusual to see motorists and motorcycle riders shoot along this avenue at a speed of 40 miles an hour. VOICE ALMOST GONE. Governor Woodrow Wilson Beaches Chicago Tired and Hoarse. Chicago, Oct. 10. Tired and hoarse. Governor Wilson reached Chicago at 10 o'clock today. His voice Is almost gone and the governor feared that he would be able to do no more than greet the crowds at some places where speeches had been scheduled. It was also a source of re gret to the nominee that he had found his trip swollen into twice the size orig inally planned. Speeches were Inserted by local committees and trains stopped sometimes without giving the governor any advance information so that he was compelled to appear unprepared. The gov ernor said today this probably would be hi3 last big trip of the campaign. "They don't want to hear me speak; they Just want to see tne," said the gov ernor today. "Somehow political meet ings at which speeches are expected, should be limited in attendance." CUBS-SOX GAME OFF. Rain Causes Postponement of Second in City Series. Chicago, Oct. 10. The s.cond game of the series for the city championship between the Cubs and Sox, scheduled for this afternoon, waa declared off on account of rain. RAIN AT DENVER. Denver, Oct. 10. Alinneapolis-Den-ver game postponed; rain. Next game Saturday. Will Oppose Effort of Receiver to Raise Price of Gas. Story of Gas Co. Formation and Its Present State Affairs. That the state of Kansas will keep a close watch on the receivership suit of the Kansas Natural Gas company was indicated today by Attorney Gen eral John S. Dawson, who urged the public utilities commission to order a transcript of the evidence to be ta ken in the hearing set for October 21. Dawson was not surprised when the Kansas Natural gas people, through a stockholder, sought the protection of a receiver and stated that he himself had only evaded an application for a receiver for the gras company In his recent suit, fearing that the corpora tion would consent and thereby burden the state with the heavy expense of carrying on the business. Last week the federal court appoint ed a commissioner to take testimony in an action looking to an investigation of the gas supply. This action was brought on behalf of a number of towns in which the Kansas Natural holds a franchise and Included such cities as Kansas City, Kan., Topeka, Leavenworth, Lawrence and other towns affected by the shortage in the supply. Then came the receivership suit in Which It was alleged that the big corporation Is unable to pay divi dends on the present rates based on the gas supply from the southern Kansas and Oklahoma fields. It also seeks to raise the rates to consumers. On that proposition of an Increase in the rates to consumers, Dawson declares that the courts have no power to order an increase in these rates and indicates that the state will pro bably contest any attempt to secure a change in the present prices. He urges that this la legislative power alone and that relief from the present rates cannot be given by the courts. Dawson Tells of Case. "The voluntary application of the Kansas Natural Gas company for a receiver does1 not surprise me," said Dawson. "I have had a dozen lawsuits against that company, and know some thing of its financial and other trou bles. In my suit against the company last week I was afraid to ask for a re ceiver for fear the company would concede it, and the state would have the burden of running its business and finding the money to do it, and find ing the gas to supply the people this winter. I thought Eugene Mackey, the president of the company, better able to wrestle with that problem than the state. Evidently Judge Pollock thinks so, too, for he has appointed President Mackey receiver. "I doubt if the court can give the company the relief it seeks. It wants to raie its rates to 50 cents per thou sand feet and asks the court to order the company to cease furnishing gaa to industries. I doubt the power of the court to do that. The making of rates is a legislative and not a Judi cial function. So, too, the disposi tion of the gas product. It might be good public policy to devote the gas exclusively to domestic uses; but courts cannot make public policy. That, too, is the exclusive province of the legislature, within the limits pre scribed by the people in their constl tions." Dawson himself expects to attend the hearing to investigate the gas sup ply. This investigation will be held in Independence and a number of towns in the gas field. It promises to b a lengthy affair and a transcript of the evidence from the hearing will be very expensive. But the- attorney general feals that a record of this tes timony will be of gTeat value to the state and will urge that a copy be provided for future use. It is also probable that the cities In which the Kansas Natural is now do ing business will be urged to send their local city attorney to attend at least a portion of tho hearing. Thus the interests and rights of the state and the affected cities will be pro tected and state kept in close touch with the progress of the commission er's investigations. About the Kansas Natural. John Kinny, of Pennsylvania, is bringing the complaint against the Kansas Natural Gas company. The company was incorporated April, 1904, under the laws of Dela ware, with a capital stock of JS,000,000. which was doubled the next month and divided into 120,000 shares of par value at $100 each. The gas mining lands were situated in several Kansas coun ties, aggregated over 165.000 acres and produced gas in paying quantities; though the rock pressure was low, the volume was enormous, and the drilled wells were believed to be capable of producing sufficient gas to supply western Missouri and eastern Kansas with light, fuel and heat. They were valued by experts at several million dollars and extended in a southwest erly direction from Anderson county to the state line between Kansas and Oklahoma. a In July. 1904, the Kansas Gas com pany purchased all oil and gas lands for the sum of $12,900,000, giving in payment capital stock amounting to $12,000,000, and 900 mortgage bonds. The gas company then piped the vol ume of gas to several cities in Mis souri and Kansas, including Kansas City, St. Joseph Joplln, Topeka, Law rence, Leavenworth and Atchison, and financed the scheme itself. Field a Disappointment. Soon after it was discovered that what had been supposed to be a gas field was in reality a series of contin uous pools; they produced gas In large quantities, but waned rapidly; com pressing stations were erected, and more gH9 companies were bought out.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL OCTOBER -10, 1912 TSIiRD OT SERIES Giants and Ked Sox" Play in Bean Town Today, O'Brien and Marquard Probable Opposing Pitchers. 1M TWO GAMES 65,878 FANS Receipts Show Good Gain Over Last Year's Games. 3Iathewson "All In" After Fierce Wednesday Battle. .Boston, Oct. 10. Following a night of rain, which extended into the early morning hours, the Giants and Red Sox were prepared today to play off the second game of their series for the world's baseball championship. Yesterday's nip and tuck struggle through eleven innings which was end ed in a tie at six to six as darkness fell, brought the contest again to Fenway park. The score of the series today stood: Red Sox one game won one ticdr Giants one game lest one tieJ. for three games, .numbered one. two and three. Yesterday check number one was punched. Today was caiiea game number two, and it was an nounced the next game in Boston would be game number three. Re garding the tickets sold in New York for the second game in that city wnicn was to have been played today, it wan f aid at the local offices that these tickets would be good tomorrow. r It f v Murray, the Giants outfielder, has batted like a fiend the first two games of the world's series. He made three hits Wednesday and batted in two runs Tuesday. He did not make a hit In the series a year ago. Prospects for playing today's game were dubious until an hour or two, after sunrise. Then the sun shone brightly on the rain drenched grounds. The rain failed to dampen the spirits of a small number of fans who, shel tered by boxes, boards and newspa pers kept their places at the bleacher gates through the night despite the occasional downpour. One man who saw yesterday's game said he had loeen away from the grounds in 36 hours only long enough to get shaved. The official forecaster predicted oc casional showers during the day but paid unofficially that he thought they (would not be heavy enough to make the field unfit for playing. Kither be cause of the rain or because the nov elty of world's series baseball had worn off, the crowd today was smaller and gathered more slowly than that of yesterday. f -r V 3 .,vl5,' ;.yj-r-:-5t v a I I yf- I i i -i' i i ',''-y -j i- V.' -.a-' f Charley MerzOg. Charley Heriojr, Aniose Batting for ,-v York Has Been a tatre of the nrst Two Games ot the World's Series. There was much uncertainty over the reserved seat tickets for today. The Boston club had said single tickets Tris Speaker, whose triple hi the tenth and daring base running tied the s-oro in Wednesday's world's series game. Speaker is living up to his reputation as the Star of the Boston team. Managers McGraw and Stahl, in common with nearly ail the players, were ready to greet the -announcement of a postponement with satis faction. Darkness ended yesterday an exhausting struggle and one par t'cularly hard on the pitchers. New York has two pitchers who need to lest. Tesreau, who was knocked out of the box in the opening game of the series in New York last Tuesday, and Mathewson, who finished yester day's game under a severe physical strain. "Matty" said today: "It was the hardest game I ever wetn through. I certainly felt 'all in' when it was over." Manager Stahl also had a pitching problem to solve. With one game tucked safely away Boston has used up four pitchers in two days, Collins, Hall and Bedient figuring successive ly in the box yesterday. Marquard was regarded a3 the best available pitcher for New York by baseball sharps, who were of the same opinion regarding "Buck" O'Brien of the Red Sox. These were the probable pitch 'ng selections for today. Each of these two men had been primed to pitch in the third game of the series, but It had been expected the game would be played in New York and it was MeGraw'a object to bring Marquard into the box before a home crowd. The Giant southpaw needs sympathetic surroundings to be at his best and some followers of the came thought McGraw would hold Siarquard for the next game In New York and send either Crandall or Wilts to the mound. The probable batting order was: Boston Hooper, right field; Yerkes, second base; Speaker, center field; Lewis, left field; Garaner, third case; Stahl, first base; Wagner, short stop: Carrigan, catcher; O'Brien, pitcher. New York Devore, left field; Doyle, second base; Snodgrass, center field; Murray, right field; Merkle, first base; Herzog, third base; Meyers, catcher; Fletcher, shortstop; Mar quard or Crandall, pitcher. The two world's series games this rear have set new total records. Al though the attendance at the game in New York fell 3,000 short of the figures for last year's opening game in the same city, the total for the two games of the present series is 7,311 greater than for last year's first two contests. Last year 58,567 per sons saw the first two games. This year 65,878 fans watched the first two tTames.

mm -4 j Council in That City. it ,7 r 'Jx '1T j ft 5 M Promoters Promise to Build 30 Days After Bond Issue. Electric Line May Take Course via Osage City. From Lawrence today comes the re port that the proposed interurban from Topeka to Kansas City is an assured undertaking. The plan outlined in the State Journal last evening has been taken up all along the route. Irom re Dorts received In Topeka today it is apparent that Lawrence favors issuing J50.000 in bonds to aid the intcruroaii. It is now up to the city commissioners and Commercial club of Topeka to an nounce their plan for a $100,000 bond issue. C. S. Magee, representing Kansas City bankers, appeared before the city council of Lawrence and submitud a proposition similar to the plan offer ed the Topeka commissioners. He stated that the interurban would event ually be extended from Topeka to Wichita. If Lawrence and Topeka re fused to vote bonds it was intimated that the interurban would take a southwesterly course to Wichita via Osage City. The report from Lawrence reads: C. S. Magee, of Kansas City, came 4r, r-onni-il meeting and said he had spent the day before the Commercial club in Topeka. and had there broach ed the proposition of a bond issue to insure the building of the interurban line. He had, he said, asked for $70,000 in bonds on the road and had been told that Topeka would gladly issue $100,000 in bonds if Lawrence would raise $50,000. What Mr. Magee wanted to know was would Lawrence raise the $50,000? And he wanted to know right away. "The parties I am representing wish to know by Thursday whether they will be able to count on these bonds' he said, "tor by mat nuie they wish to decide whether the Toute is to be to Wichita by way of Lawrence and Topeka, or whether it will go across to Osage City 17 miles couth of Lawrence. "We have already 17 miles of road constructed. We intend to build the road. We can raise the money either on paper or on the completed road. It on the former our stock will sell for 74; if we can get the money on the completed road we can sell it for Si. "We will guarantee the beginning of work on the road within 30 days after the bonds are issued," concluded Mr. Magee, and then he wanted to know right away whether the city of I.awrence would grant the bond issue Or TlQt- Finally Councilman Herman arose and said a few words in favor of the proposition. "I think we should in vestigate this matter and if there is a chance to get an interurban we should be willing to issue bonds for it," he paid. "I believe an interurban would be the best thing the town of Lawrence could possibly have. I be lieve It would have the result of bringing numerous small factories to Lawrence, away from the city where the cost of land and other expenses re greater, and that it would bring more people to town than it would take away." .1 1 x t- 4 .Sx fi,, vuurf ji 'rT,.

HIGH HOPES AT K, U. University Out for Missouri Valley Championship. Decisive Defeat of St. Marys Arouses Enthusiasm. AIRSHIP BLOWS UP. Explosion of Gas Iestros German Military Dirigible Balloon. Berlin, Oct. 10. Germany's aerial fleet suffered a severe loss today by the total wrecking by explosion of one of its im mense military dirigible balloons and or the hall In which it was stationed at Renickendorf, a suburb of Berlin. The dirigible which was of the semirigid typo with) air balloonets to preserve its shape invented by Major Gross of the Prussian army, was being refilled with hydrogen jras by soldiers of the flying corps. The gas, which is highly inflammabie, was beinjr passed into the envelope from metal cylinders when the friction of u,e fas itself filling the tube caused fire to start. A violent explosion ensued, com pletely destroying the dirigible and' blow ing the hall to splinters. None of the crew was injured. BULLETINS ON SHIPS. Flay by Play Reports to Men of At latic Fleet. New York, Oct. 10. There are few more eager baseball fans than the offi cers and men of the Atlantic fleet which is anchored in the Hudson river in pre paration for the big naval review. Many of the men will attend the world's Series games played in this city, and on the odd days watch the progress of the contests from bulletin boards which have been erected on the deck of each ship. Play by play reports of the games are received by wireless by the flag ship Conneticut and are passed down the line of the great fleet from that point. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 10. "Will we see a Missouri Valley championship team trot off McCook field after the closing battle with the Tigers Novem ber 23? is the question which Kan sans are asking themselves. Not only in Lawrence and at the state uni versity, but in all parts of the state the unprecedented score of 62 to 0 atrainst St. Marvs has turned the eyes of football enthusiasts and many who' have never taken an interest in the game, to another eleven the equal of the ever-victorious team of 1908. With Mosse, the former K. U. star, later a successful Kansas farmer and assistant Jayhawker coach, directing the squad, the students have placed their confidence in the team as did Missouri when the Tigers had Roper. And Leonard Frank, who never met a better man, while playing tackle at Minnesota, has demonstrated that he is the man to complete the great coaching combination at K. U. this fall. The overwhelming defeat of St. Marys last Saturday, can be explained by the one fact that the Catholics were completely outclassed in every depart ment. Several news stories said they were outweighed hopelessly, but the fact is that there was only a few pounds difference to the man. But Quiglev's men could not withstand the fierce attacks of the Jayhawker backfield, and the red and blue line crushed every play before it was started. Kansas went into the game with orders to fight for every inch and there will he no letup in any game this fall. There will be no holding tn "covr un" Coach Frank has been a wonderful distillery of "pep," and the players know that only fierce line smashing, sure tackling anu ginger all the time will keep them nff tht- sidp lines. The spirit in the entire squad is to run the opposing team off its feet, and when tne JA.an sans meet Nebraska in Lincoln, the rnmiinsitprs will find a different ene mv that thpv did last season. It will be Minnesota and Kansas both in one, to reach second base. Shulte got one base in the second inning on Rath's wide throw, but was caught napping a moment later. Only 28 men faced Walsh. He did not issue a base on balls and struck out seven men. Lav ender, who opposed Walsh, also pitched a masterly game. He held the White Sox to six scattered hits and received brilliant support. Although the attendance was kept down by rain and cold weather, 16,012 persons paid to witness the game, ac cording to figures of national com mission representatives. The receipts were $11,624.25, of which $6,888.43 will go to the players; 2,096.15 to each club owner and $1,164.25 to the na tional commission. The teams will play again tomorrow at Comiskey park.

When the train stopped Senator Bur ton appeared on the rear platform and addressed the crowd. But Burton show ed plainly the effects of the hard western trip. He was suffering from a severe cold and soon gave way to Meekins, a southerner with a sharp tongue and oratorical ability. Meekins seemed to appreciate the opportunity of flaying Roosevelt before a Kansas crowd and he hammered the Progres sive leader hard. He -charged Roose velt with insincerity and declared that he had been on both sides of every public issue in the last ten years. He said that he was for the Canadian reciprocity treaty until it kicked back at Taft, then hegot an the other side. MeeUias' Sjjeech. In his blistering -.arraignment of Roosevelt, Meekins said in part: "Since Col. Roosevelt is so much pleased to pin his faith to the ten commandments it seems to me' it would be well for him not only to memorize the eighth commandment Thou shalt not steal, but he would do well to assimilate the first com mandment. Thou shalt have no other God before me. It is barely possible that Mr. Roosevelt suspects, unless ho Is positively certain that the great Jewish law giver, Moses, had him in mind when he chiseled the stone. Col. Roosevelt says 'Thou shalt not steal.' I would suggest in that connection 'Ted dy, thou shalt not squeal." "I went to the Chicago convention," he continued, "as a delegate from the First congressional district of North Carolina uninstructed. I was then, as I am now, a part of Mr. Taft's ad ministration.

Confidently believing in the superb dash of his manhood and his unques tioned party loyalty and patriotism 1 was deeply disappointed and chagrined at his failure to succeed. However, if I had had the slightest idea that Roosevelt was capable of bolting his party I would have stayed in Chicago and fought his nomination until hades froze over and stood on tho ice until it thawed. Once Loved Roosevelt. "I went to Chicago, not only as an admirer of Roosevelt, but as one who loved him. I had seen the Republi can party make him governor of New York; I had seen the Republican party make him vice president of the United States and then president; I had seen the Republican party pamper and pet; fondle and spoil him for eight years, until in 1908, it allowed him to name his successor, a thinK that no great political party ever 'did save once when Andrew Jackson named his suc cessor in 1836. I felt that Roosevelt occupied a unique niche in the hall of fame. And he did. In 1904 Roosevelt said, 'Under no circum stances will I stand for or accept an other nomination.' When he made this statement the benches bended and the galleries galloped away with ap plause throughout the length and breadth of this country. In 1912 Roosevelt made the modest announce ment, 'I will accept this nomination provided it comes unsolicited,' after which he moved on to Chicago and in his rcom in the Congress hotel strode up and down the floor like the behemoths of old that splashedhe waters of a river and drank iTfTthe same, bellowing like the bull of Bashan, wailing for a third term. Standing on a platform which is a veritable omnium-gatherum of politi cal odds and ends, huddled together under the Bull Moose party blanket like household goods and barnyard refuse after a hurricane, I predict Roosevelt will go down in history po litically discredited, unhonored, un wept and unsung. Aesop's fly sat on the chariot wheel exclaim ing," Behold what a dust I do raise.' A purple Nebuchadnezzar verily feels himself king of this great Babylon which he has builded and tomorrow is a nondescript biped-quadruped on the eve of a seven years course of grazing. "Like a veritable weather cock Roosevelt the last few years has shift ed from every position which he has taken according as he scented the breeze of public clamor. The gyra tions of this political acrobat .would excite envy in the bosom of the most boneless man that ever adorned a dime museum or thrilled a .circus crowd. In the Language of Job. "Although prior to the convention in Chicago I had followed him to the point where I could almost exclaim with old Job, 'Though he slay me. yet will I trust,' I could not follow him out of the Republican party. When he sat about to disrupt and destroy the party that had made him great, I then and there quit him cold. The Republican party has accom plished too much in this nation for me to desert it and I think it has done too much for Mr. Roosevelt for him to turn on it. I think the scrip tures are right. Mischief is abroad. the devil has slipped his collar. But what is the use to talk about Roosevelt in this campaign. Taft was good enough for Roosevelt in 190S when he named him and is good enough for me in 1912. If he was good enough for Roosevelt in 1908 he ought to be good enough for Re publicans now. "Woodrow Wilson is the man Taft has to fight in this campaign and not Roosevelt. In dismissing Roosevelt I feel like saying that in truth there is unity of parts; in falsity and error there is damnable diversity. There fore let the poor man rest. Old Lu dovlcus Vivea has a story of a clown that killed his ass because it had drunk up the moon and he thought the world could ill spare that valu able luminary. The clown was well intentioned but unwise. The ass did not drink up the moon but only the reflection of the moon in the mud puddle. Let us not imitate the clown and slay so faithful an animal that has brought us thus far with safety, when too it may be, he was drinking from his own poor water pail with purposes most harmless." i i Get in Ordinary Bread If you will try Thoro-Bread for a week you will be convinced you need not take our word for it.

The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report or tnat great news r ranisaUon for the exclusive afternoon Publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur- Certalnly there can be no criticism because the brothers of President Taft have contributed liberally to his cam paign funds. Before long a sufficient number of political clubs will have been organized In Kansas so that every voter can have one for his exclusive use. Reports have been received in To i neka that the Kansas Natural Gas i company has contracted to get more j Sas. But the important question is, (Will it get enough? Great crowds turned out to hear Col. Roosevelt on his trip through Michi gan. Great crowds also turn out for the -world's championship baseball games, as well as circuses. Anyhow the cowboy who is riding from Idaho to Washington is getting his pictures in the newspapers. And in the minds of many that is one of the attainments most worth while. No wonder the players in the cham pionship baseball series are exerting themselves to the limit. The men on the winning team are likely to pull down $4,000 each as their share of the spoils. Surely the Wall street gamblers are getting a trifle careless with their money. They are offering to bet at the odds of 4 to 1 that Governor Wilson will be the next occupant of the White House. Senator LaFollette evidently did not get value received for his pre-con-vention campaign fund. It amounted to approximately $64,000, a tidy sum. And he went intd the Republican na tional convention with only 36 dele gates. An American society has just been formed to give aid to the cause of the pretenders to the Servian throne. Is there any activity in any nook or cor ner of the world which has not the support of some sort of an American society? One of Uncle Sam's boys in the con sular service reports that American musical instruments are popular in foreign countries, especially the phon ograph. And since when, pray tell, has the phonograph had a place in the company of musical instruments? Justice appears to be traveling in the right direction. A Kansas City diamond thief has been sent to prison for fourteen years. That sort of a sentence has usually been saved here tofore for the unfortunate who found it necessary to steal a loaf of bread. Governor Wilson seems to be able to hold his own with afl of the presi dential candidates in all particulars. While traveling through Kansas he rode In the engine cab for a consider able distance. And the train was then running at a speed of 80 miles an hour. William Allen White declares that the Progressives have all the votes they need to win a victory in Kansas. But they are liable to toss the victory to the winds by spoiling their ballots in marking them. This doesn't jibe with Bill's repeated insistence that the Progressives of Kansas represent the most intelligent force in the state. ers agvagonistic to them as "Triplets in Treason." Such boyishness must be a potent factor in winning votes for a political cause. A CASE OF CLOTHESPIXTTIS. It has come at last. Just as house broken, tenderhearted men have been prophesying and warning for years, They have pleaded and they have scolded; they have put the matter on hygienic and on emotional grounds but all to no avail. Woman, lovely woman, also strong and husky woman, has carried her penchant for stuffing clothespins in her mouth while hang ing out the family wash, too far. Of course she has defended it on the ground that It was easier, and. tak ing a tip from the very latest craze of the day, has declared that It has increased her efficiency many fold. That weLs all right as far as it went, but, as the sad case of Mrs. Martha Hunt of Chiselhurst, New Jersey, proves, it has gone too far. Mrs. Hunt put so many clothespins in her mouth that they got tangled up and In try ing to get them out she dislocated her jaw Her frightened family hur ried her off to the nearest hospital where the surgeon, after having her under an anesthetic for an hour, Anally succeeded in getting her jaw back to Its normal place. He said, however, it was the worst case of dislocation he had ever seen. Of course man will not be mean enough to say "I told you so!" That would be foreign to his nature. But still he is going to do the proper thing and use this incident as an argument against other feminine practices that amaze, when they do not affright him There is, for example, the custom of filling the mouth with hairpins when the coiffure is being made. The capacity of the feminine mouth for such storage has long amazed men. no less than woman's ability to carry on a long conversation and articulate just as distinctly as if speech had a clear track. That can be pointed out as dangerous now, and maybe some heed will be paid to masculine warnings. And certainly the universal custom of woman, when doing a little plain sewing at home, of putting pins in her mouth as a substitute for a pin cushion, cannot be called entirely safe after this accident from the far less deadly clothespin. Some truth as strange as fic tion. An unidentified woman of dis tinguished appearance and handsome ly gowned, jumped from her automo bile in New Tork the other day and saved a man's life by tearing up her petticoat and making a tourniquet which she applied to the man's leg from which his foot had been sev ered by a street car wheel. It is pretty difficult for an ordinary minded individual to figure out just what harm could come from using the school houses of Topeka during the evenings for woman's suffrage meet ing or for discussions of any other political questions. As a matter of fact the school houses should be turn ed over to the public for use as their forums for the discussion of all ques tions. A stranger in Kansas might be par doned for thinking that the political game here is being played by a bunch of kids. Oti side to one of the con- THE COXSTTTXTnOX. Beginning on Monday, October 7th, Philadelphia began to celebrate the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the framing ofthe Constitution un der which we live, says Leslie's Weekly. Not only in Philadelphia, which was the seat of government in 17S7, but in all other American centers, there should have been some recognition of the an niversary of the framing of the Ameri- troversies la progress refers to its op- I csn Constitution.

Mr. J. E. Pennybacker, jr., in the World's Work for October, comments rather bitterly on the extreme waste fulness of our system of road building. "A year or two ago a government engineer reported on a $70,000 road one of the southern states, built properly and with due regard to con- itions pravalling but allowed abso lutely to go 4.o ruin for lack of main tenance. This is one of many thou sand cases. American engineers are equal to any in the world. Our meth- ds of construction are abreast of the latest and best of any land, and in abor saving machinery and equipment for the construction of roads' Ameri ca leads the world. The rock crusher, which has supplanted the old laborious method of breaking rock with a ham mer, is the invention of an American. It is in our woeful lack of mainte nance that we lag behind every other civilized nation. Our county officials seem to think that a good road is everlasting and proof against the rav ages of traffic and the elements. France maintains1 her supremacy as a good roads nation by her tireless, watchful care of her roads. Every mile of her main roads is inspected daily and every defect repaired as soon as it occurs. What is needed in ev ery country 13 skillful supervising and a well trained road force which will make its whole object in life the care and betterment of the public roads. Systematic and continuous mainte nance is absolutely the key to a sys tem of good roads." WHY SOrE FARMERS FAIL. More than one-half the farmers who fall to make their farms pay, fail because they do not make a busi ness of their farming, says the Kan sas Industrialist. Running a farm is just as much a business as running a store, a bank, or a corporation. A man buys and farms a piece of land to make a living. Why should he not employ the same business meth ods as the grain merchant or shipper or miller who handles the same prod ucts? Most farmers count their own labor and that of their families as nothing when they figure up how much money they have made from their farms. Many a farmer thinks he is making a profit from his farm when in fact he is losing money. The agricultural college not only teaches boys how to be successful in producing better crops and better stock, but it gives them the business training which enables "them to man age their farms in a businesslike way and to know when they are making their business pay. They keep a rec ord of what they buy, what they spend, what labor costs them, includ ing their own, and at the end of the year or month they are able to show what they have done. The college trained man does not make mistakes, because he knows where he is, all the time. The mistakes of the aver age farmer are made unknowingly. I and they did it well. By its elasticity that charter has, with a few modifica tions, met the changed conditions due to an expansion of which nobody at the outset could have dreamed, has dealt with issues which could not have been foreseen, and has stood the strain of foreign and civil war. The little coun try of about 3,000,000 inhabitants which framed the Constitution has grown to over 100.000.000. Including its depend encie3, and the thin fringe of inhabl itnt siinno- the Atlantic coast have spread across a continent and have car ried their sway into the Caribbean and over the verge of Asia. Only one republic was In the world previous to the birth of the Unitel States, and that was Switzerland. Now the world contains twenty-seven re publics, twenty of which are in the Western Hemisphere. The charters or all of those on this continent have been modeled on that of the United States. Republics are found in Europe and Asia as well as in America. The latest of these, China, contains a quarter or the population of the whole globe. Not only has the United States given an im petus to the growth of republics in all quarters of the world, but it has been the radiating center of a wave of liber alism which has tempered the govern ment of every monarchy on earth.

One of the most extensive fruit growers in its vicinity said recently tc the Lansing News: "This year is Just a sample fruit crop of what we are going to have. Fruit crops run in cycles. We have the first good apple crop this year and now we will have six or seven more." It is said that apples may be kept two years by wrapping them in news papers so as to exclude the air, says the Jennings Echo. The papers, how ever, must be ones on which the sub scription has been paid in full, or the dampness resulting from the "due"wi'.l cause the fruit to spoil. An interesting, if indefinite item from the Hanover Herald: According to reports a farmer living southeast of Hanover some distance was look ing over his neighbor's chickens one night recently, without permission, when the owner of the chickens ap peared with shot gun and pumped a couple of loads of lead into the chick en speculator, who being too heavy to walk, was hauled home, when two doctors from Waterville were called to pick the shot out of his carcass. No arrests was made, and the people in that neighborhood do not seem to want to say much about it, so we have been unable to get all the particulars. However, they seem to think their chickens are safer now than before the shooting occurred. The government has about a hun dred cannons for sale cheap.

A drowning man might grasp at a straw, but it wouldn't amount to much as a life preserver. You may have observed that the veil on the veiled threat is thinner than those Salpme wears. There should be more of a general in clination to regard the marriage certifi cate as a peace treaty. Farmers have to take a good many chances, but they have the advantage of playing their own game.

The older I grow, the more I pro test against the accepted answer to that question. Women, to be sure, are very inconsistent about some things, but if anyone can point out a greater inconsistency in the feminine charac ter than the average male shows in the discrepancy between what he thinks he likes in a woman and what he actually likes, I shall be ashamed for my sex. Once upon a time there was a young woman who dressed her hair with a Puritan simplicity which was not be coming to her. She did this because her husband had always told her that he disliked anything in the nature of rats or puffs, that he could instantly ten wnen a woman had them on, and that he thought they were always dis figuring. Now one day a girl friend, who was visiting this woman, persuaded her hostess to let her do the latter's hair in Huffy ruffles style. The result was surprisingly becoming, but the hostess insisted that she must take it down before her husband came home as he would not approve. Finally, however. she was persuaded by the author of tne new neadclress not to change it. "I bet he'll like it," said the audacious one. "You don't know him." said his wife. But as It proved she knew him bet ter than he knew himself, for when he came home his greeting to his wife was "Why. how nice vou look dear. What have you been doing to your self? if it's that gown, I wish you'd wear it every night." A doctor's wife tells how shn meek ly adopted all her husband's sugges tions as to heelless shoes, boneless cor sets, shapeless id resses and ratless hair, and never suspected that shn wasn't delighting his eyes until she heard him enthuse over the wives of some new friends. She made an ef fort to meet the women, and found that without exception they typified the opposite of his suggestions to her. Again, men will almost invariably tell you that they dislike any sort of perfumery on a woman, and yet they cluster like bees about the attracitve woman whose affectation of some par ticular fragrance is one of her attrac tions. Nor is it Just in little matters like this that men do not know their own minds. Indeed no. Many a man will describe his ideal woman to you one day as a quiet mannered, simply gowned girl with some intelligence and character, and the next day will mrow nimseir at tne reet of some un derbred, overdressed creature with about as much intelligence in her head as in the puffs that cover it. Which really deserves to be called the inconsistent sex? I wonder. No, on second thought, I don't. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. BEHIND THE CLOSED EYE. I walk the old frequented ways That wind around the tangled braes. I live again the sunny days Ere I the city knew. And scenes of old again are born. The woodbine lassoing the thorn, And drooping Ruth-like in the corn The poppies weep the dew. Above me In their hundred schools The magpies bend their young to rules. And like an apron full of Jew'ls The dewy cobweb swings. And frisking In the stream below The troutlets make the circles flow, And the hungry crane doth watch them grow As a smoker does his rings. Above me smokes the little town With its whitewashed walls and roofs of brown And its octagon spire toned smoothly down As the holy minds within. And wonderous impudently sweet. Half of him passion, half conceit. The blackbird calls adown the street Like the piper of Hamelln. I hear him, and I feel the lure Drawing me homeward to the moor, I'll go, and close the mountain's door On the city's strife and din. F. E. Ledwldge, In the Saturday Review.

"Mille's mother looks dreadful." mumbled Agatha, with her mouth full of pins: "she just sits there waiting and waiting for some word." But even as sne spoke Mrs. ttarKer was welcoming her daughter.

Oh. mother, mother," soDDea iuh- le. ana tnrew nerseii into tne loving arms open to receive her, "I've come back, I ve come back. The mother's lips tightened. Where's William?" Millie sank down on the floor in a doleful heap. "I don't know. I haven t seen him since yesterday afternoon." What!" the" older woman gasped. We started out for the Point," Mil lie said, "and William insisted on stopping at Mrs. Stebbins's boarding house and getting her to put up some sandwiches. Didn't she tell you? And we expected to ride back by moon- ight. And when ge got to tne .Point we forgot about the tide, and we went cross the causeway to the Neck. Theri were lots of people over there, and we found a cozy place on the rocks, and sat and talked until we were hungry, and then we ate our sandwiches, and it grew darker and darker, and the moon didn t come up. and presently it began to sprinkle. And that made us start back to where we had left the automobile, and then we found that everybody had left the Neck, and that the tide had covered I the causeway and there we were, cut off from the mainland, and with no hope of getting oft till morning. And oh, mother, when we found what had happened. William turned to me, and he said, 'Little girl, I've got to make a try for it before the water Is any deeper over the causeway and he kissed me. and before I coutd ston him he was off in the automobile, splash ing through the water, putting on spead to beat the tide. And then oh, mother, when he reached the middle of the causeway tne automoDlle began to float, and the last I saw was the great headlight snining out over the water and Will iam, was shouting back to me not to be trigntened, that he'd swim for shore. And all night." Millie's excited voice rose, "I've been alone in the rain, and I was afraid to cross in the night when the tide was low, and so I had to wait until today, and, oh mothei, where is William "Why didn't you let me know you "Ere going on a picnic r "I left a note on the table." we am not nno any note but a nigh wind came up with the storm perhaps it was blown awav." With her daughter quieted at last, Mrs. Earker went to the barn to take counsel witn her husband. do you suppose William is drowned?" she asked. "We'd better send someDody out to look for himJ "He's probably been able to swim ashore," said Mr. Barker grimly, "but my automobile is at the bottom of th sea. ne is a thief and a scamn. Sarah that's what he is, and Millie's well rid oi mm, dead or alive." Mrs. Barker flared up at that.. "The cniid loves turn, Silas." she said, "and I never saw anything about him that wasn't polite and gentlemanlv." "Well, he's as poor as Job's turkey a-no a rortune nunter," said the thrifty farmer. "When he tried to steal Mil lie and my automobile together, that was enougn ror me. I sha'n't hunt him up." "Well, Millie's heart will be broken," said the mother sadly. "She won't get over this easily." All the next day Hilton talked about the runaways. Few of the gossips be lieved that Millie and William had merely started out to visit the Point. "They intended to elope," said the wise ones, "and when the tide caught them and William ran away from her, Millie wouldn't own up that they had planned to get married."

"that the vital subject to nurses in Kansas today is nurse registration, I decided to teli you something of its history, both in the past and present; If I am abie to convey to you any new thoughts along this line I shall feel well re paid for the small effort this paper has cost me. "The origin dates back more than a quarter of a century and was suggest ed by Sir Henry Ackland, of England, in 1S74. A few years later the better nurses of the kingdom banded together and asked the house of commons to pass a law whereby the nurses might be registered. To England belongs the distinction of having the first register ed nurses. "MLss Sophia Palmer was the first REPUBLICAN DATES. Stubbs, Bristow, McXeal and Capper to Speak. 39 Founds esi 30 Oafs

GO-Geot Packags Free "Opponents of registration claim that such a law forwards the interests of only a small per cent of the nurses. They forget that the only way this law could injure the inferior nurse is by comparison. "Another pet story of anti-registra-tionists is that when Kansas registers her nurses none but graduated nue will be allowed to care for the sick. Trie proposed law. however, provides most emphatically that in no way shall it be construed to interfere with anyone nurs ing either for hire, charity, or her own family. 'How is registration going to help me?' is a common question, but 'How will it help the profession?' is seldom asked. "Registration will benefit and elevato the whole profession and what benefits the -whole benefits the individual to get gold out. we nisr.t put gold in. "It is only a short time until our legis lature meets, and dujina that session our bill will either become a law or be con signed to the waste basket. V'e have been told that nursing con ditions were deplorable in Kansas, ai;d while we resented it. we admittd it. Now we are aroused to action, have an asso ciation, and are waging a battle for state registration; let js conduct ourselves in such a manner that the states having registration may look at us with ap proval, and the states without it may Oi moved to imitate us. We must work f jr it. and bear in mind that there is no palm without the dust of labor." KANSAS NATURAL. fCorttrred from Paje -"ne. Xtefore After JPratone Will Slabs Ton Nice and I'luaip.

Superintendent Will .Accept Offer of New Hampshire College. The fiftieth birthday of Secretary W. H. L. Pepperell of the Democratic state central committee, which oc curred yesterday, was remembered by the attaches of headquarters with a number of presents to the popular secretary. Among other things Pep perell was presented with a diamond set tie pin. a pair of engraved gold cuff links and several sacks of candy. "They were mighty nice to me," Pepperell said this morning. "They took me entirely by surprise. I ap preciate the kindness that prompted the gifts." Mr. Pepperell entertained a score of friends at nigHt Tyith a. supper. State Superintendent E. 1 Fairchild will accept the offer of the presidency of the New Hampshire college and on his return from Salt Lake City, Utah, will probably send his resigantion to will probably send his resignation to be effective November 10. Two hours after Mr. Fairchild left for Salt Lake City, the Associated Press reported that the Kansas man had been unani mously elected to the presidency of the big school in Durham, N. H. The presidency of New Hampshire college pays a $5,000 a year salary in addition to the provision of a presi dent's home and other benefits. Near ly a month ago it was announced that Mr. Fairchild was considered for the presidency of the New Hampshire school, but not until the meeting of the directors Wednesday afternoon was definite action taken. There were a number of candidates for the presi dency of the school, but Mr. Fairchild was sought and when he consented to the acceptance of the position, his election was made unanimous at a special meeting of the board. It is probable that Mr. Fairchild wil leave for Durham early next month and will at once assume the duties of his new position.- ON FORGED ORDERS. Prisoners Have Been Released From the Omaha Jail. That there is little question that the Shawnoe county Republican tick et will receive practically its usual majority is the belief of political wise acres who have been canvassing the situation. The split in the state and national tickets will not, it is believed, affect the county ticket. "I have talked to a hundred men in the last few days," one local politician said, "of all creeds and faiths polit ically. They are going to forget their differences on state and national mat ters and vote the ticket straight as far as the county ticket is concerned. Shawnee county has a normal Repub lican majority of about 3,000. The split this year may affect the majority a little, but I doubt very much If it will make a difference of 500 votes in the outcome." Democrats, it is asserted, are pre paring to support their ticket as us ual, and the two factions of the Re publican party will unite, the lead ers and politicians declare, on the countv ticket no matter what the at titude of ihe individual voter is on the state and national issues. "There is no disposition on the part o either factional organization to work h hardship on the county canci dates," is the assertion. "The county candidates are wisely keeping out of the fight. It isn't their place to 'butt in,' and their individual attitude makes no difference in their election. Every Republican candidate for of fice is a strong man, and there is no reason why every Republican should not support them all. The candidates all are clean and worthy of support, and that being the case the leaders do not see any reason for a slump from the normal. The lowest vote given a Republican county candidate two years ago was a majority or aDout l.&uu votes. ThiE majority was given County Clerk Samuel G. Zimmerman, who was running for a third term, and carried the general prejudice against a third term with his candi dacy. Other Republican candidates were given much stronger majorities. There is considerable speculation as to which of the candidates with seri ous opposition will lead the Repub lican ticket among the county candi dates. A good many are of the opin ion that L. L. Kiene, for sheriff, who made such an excellent showing at the primary, and who has a host of friends and admirers in both parties and all factions, will be among the leaders. Matt Weightman, who has made a good county treasurer, is also regarded as a leader, and although "Bob" Tasker, for re-election for reg ister of deeds, has dual opposition, a Democrat and an independent, he is expected to pile up a bij vote. There will be very little of the grueling wait on local returns this year, inasmuch as the voting machines are to be used in the city of Topeka. Practically definite returns' from lo cal candidacies are expected to be known within an hour after the polls close, and the returns from the coun ty are expected to come in compara tively early, the only hard job being the counting of votes for electors. And as the electoral vote is expected to be "straight" all the way through, this will not be a serious task. HODGES AT ATCHISON. Democratic Candidate Had Sleeting There. Good Omaha. Oct. 10. Discovery of forged orders for the release of prisoners in the county jail was announced today. Investigation as ot how many of these forged orders have been honored is now being made by the county officials. The first order brought to the atten tion of the authorities was one for the release of Emma Coin, sentenced to 30 days in jail. The release order was signed with a rubber stamp similar to the one used by Police Judge Fos ter. That magistrate today declared he had affixed his signature to no such order. The discovery has caused a sensa tion in police and county official circles. City Pays $4,759 Rebate Taxes. A voucher for $4,759.22, allowed by the city commission as the city's part of the Illinois Life Insurance company tax, which has been repaid, has been ordered returned to the city for cor rection by the board of county com missioners. The corrections asked in clude the addition of $403.85 alleged to be the city's share of attorneys' fees paid in defense of the case, and $64.44 said to be the city's share of the court costs. The city commission allowed the city's portion of the tax that the fed eral court found should be repaid, but declined to share in the payment of attorneys' fees and costs. The county refused to accept the voucher without the addition of the share of attorneys' fees or costs. Senator George H. Hodges, Demo cratic candidate for governor, with several other candidates for state of fices, are reported to have had an ex cellent meeting at Atchison last night. A big' crowd turned out to hear the speakers, and Democratic headquar ters here reports that many assurances of support were received from both Progressives and regulars among the Republicans. Arrangements are being made for a big crowd at Emporia tonight where Speaker Champ Clark, of the national house of representatives, is billed to speak. Clark was today in the Sev enth district, expecting to reach Em poria late this afternoon. He spoke at Hutchinson at 1:30 o'clock this af ternoon to a large crowd. He spoke at Garden City and Kinsley yesterday afternoon and evening to large audi ences. Ho is being accompanied in the Seventh district by George A. Neeley, Democratic candidate for re-election as congressman, and will be Joined at Emporia by Dudley Doolittle. Demo cratic candidate for congress from the Fourth district. COLUMBUS DAY. Governor's Proclamation Nemos Satur day, October 12. The Aetna Insurance company anti trust case was submitted to the su preme court today without argument by agreement of both the attorneys for the state and for the defendant corporation. This action, which was begun four years ago, is now in the hands of the supreme court and will probably be passed on some time this winter. It as in 1908 when Fred S. Jack son as attorney general filed an action before Judge Dana in the Shawnee county district court, claiming that the Aetna with other companies was uaing the Eldridge system in restraint of trade. It was charged that Charles E. Eldridge as a common agent for numerous companies compiled and supplied a certain rate book which was used by agents in violation of the Kansas statutes. In the trial of this case before the Shawnee county dis trict court, the state lost. Notice of an appeal to the supreme court was then served. Later Jackson discovered new evi dence in the vault of the insurance commissioner. This evidence showed that in -an investigation of insurance conditions under the administration of Governor Stanley, the companies virtually acknowledged they were act ing in common. With this evidence in his possession, Jackson asked the dis trict court for a new trial, but Judge Dana sustained a demurrer and the second case became an object for re view by the higher court. The first opse was held back to await a trans- script of the second case. Both rec ords are very lengthy and this morn ing attorneys in the two actions agreed that both cases should be sub mitted to the court without argument.
