Who Died Suddenly Today in Wichita. in the Wichita club here this afternoon. He recently moved to Wichita from To peka. He formerly lived at Attica, Kansas. Mr. Denton was born in Peoria, 111.. 54 years ago. He came to Kansas in 1SS4 and settled in Harper county close to the site of the present village of Attica. He first engaged in the busi ness of farming and later went into the mercantile business in Attica. Then he became associated with A. C." Jobes in the banking business in Attica. He kept his residence at the little town of his first Kansas residence clear up to a few months ago when he moved to Wichita and he was always proud of his little town and his old friends there and his early political and business successes in Harper county.., Mr. Denton was elected secretary of state in 1906 and again in 1908, sur rendering the office in 1910 to Mr. Ses sions, present incumbent. He was talked of that year as a candidate for governor but decided not to make the race. Mr. Denton had business interests in Wichita, being associated with his brother-in-law, Mr. Richardson, in the American State bank there. He only (Continued on Page Six.) A CLE AN SLATE. The House Disposed of All Its Thousand Bills. First Time for Years This Has Been Done. At 11:56 just four minutes before the time set in the provisions of the joint resolution t house finished the con sideration and vote on the last origi nal bill on the calendar. It Is the first time in many years when the house has not adjourned under a resolution and let die many of its own bills. Only a protest by Hendricks, of Raw lins, blocked an adjournment right on time. After all house bills had been disposed of, Hendricks tied up the ses sion for nearly an hour in forcing a verification of a vote on two corpora tion bills by Gordon of Wyandotte. With the clock hidden behind a heavy curtain. Speaker Brown ruled that the house was not violating the rules of the resolution by a verification of a vote on the Gordon .neasure. Much confusion marked the closing hour of the session for the considera tion of original bills. Bills were piled into the omnibus and herded through the house like cattle through a chute. The final bulk roll call carried eleven bills the final cleanup of the house calendar and at just four minutes be fore the noon hour the house had con cluded the transaction of its own bus- Then came a protest from Hendricks which delayed the noon recess nearly an hour. The Hendricks- fight aroused feeling and one of the warmest par liamentary fights of the session. It was because of the announcement that house bills Noa. 653 and 654. compan ion corporation bills offered by Gordon of Wyandotte, that Hendricks raised an objection and declared that the vote mid been tampered with. To this charge, Gordon replied that the state ment was false and that the Rawlins county member knew it was false. In this discussion the brief four min utes of the session for consideration of original bills had slipped away. Hendricks fought for a verification of the vote and won. The formal an nouncement showed that 64 votes had been ciist for the bil.. A verification showed errors in the tally and reduced the vote to 62 one short of a consti tutional majority. On this tally, the vote of Mahurin of Coffey was still lacking. He was not in the hall and a recess was taken until 2 o'clock when he might set clear his vote, which meant the life or death of the two bills. Gordon's measures which precipita ted a row in the closing minutes of the session today, permitted corporations to increase their capital stock to three (Continued on Pass Two.) GARRISON HAD 32,000 MEN. Fierce Bombardment Preceded the Capitulation. Greek Commanders Execute Re markable Military Feat. Athens, Greece, March 6. The Turk ish fortress of Janina, the key to the possession of the province of Epirus, with its garrison of 32,000 men, sur rendered to the Greek army today af ter a defense which forms one of the most brilliant episodes of the Balkan war. The surrender was preceded by a fierce bombardment lasting without cessation for two days and two nights. Every available gun, including a num ber of heavy howitzers lent by the Servian artillery, was brought to bear on the forts defending the beleaguered city. No fewer than 30,000 shells were fired by the Greek guns during the first day's cannonade. Gradually the Turkish batteries a Bizani, Manoliara, Eakni and else where were silenced. Greeks Make Keint. The Greek commanders by a feint led the Turks to believe their attack would be made from the right. As soon as the attention of the defenders had been distracted, the Greeks hurled large bodies of infantry onto the Turk ish left. The Ottoman troops, utterly surprised, fell back in disorder. The batteries on the heights of Bizani, the mainstay of the defense, had been un able to stand the peiting of the shells and were reduced to complete silence at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The Greeks pushed their forward movement during the afternoon and occupied the Turkish batteries on the j Sakni and Elas hills, capturing all the i guns and 110 artillerymen. Then the j Greek battalions gradually deployed on to the plain in front of the city itself. The. Turkish flight immediate ly became general, despite all the ef forts of the. Ottoman officers to rally their men. Whole detachments suc i cumbed to panic and joined in a mad race into the city. The Greek troops followed in hot pursuit almost to the walls. Flag of Truce. With all the defending batteries in the hands of the attackers and the Hellenic soldiers at the very gates of the city, Essaad Pasha, the Turkish commander, at 6 o'clock this morning sent messenger under a flag of truce to Crown Prince Constantine of Greece announcing the surrender of the city and all the troops under his command. The fall of Janina was announced by the crown prince to the Greek war office in the following dispatch: "Enimaga, (Greek headquarters) 6 a. m. The Greek army having oc cupied the entire left front of the city of Janina and also Bizani and Cas tritza having been surrounded by our troops. Essaad Pasha has just inform ed me that his troops surrender as prisoners of war. "I will send you shortly details of the great victory of oiy gallant army." Greeks Are Jubilant. Wild enthusiasm reigned in the streets of Athens on the announce ments of the news and all the houses were decorated with flags. Excited peo ple thronged the thoroughfares singing the Greek national anthem, while joyous peals rang out from every church steeple in the capital. The Greek advance on Janina began late in October. The Turks retired rapidly before their opponents and operations round the fortress opened about the be ginning of December. The advance ing the period of the armistice, with which the Greek never formally agreed. Several of the outlying forts fell be fore the Greek assaults and the attack on the principal fortifications was grad ually pressed home. The Turkish garrison possessed 150 guns, distributed among the forts at Bizani, to the south, Buruti, to the southwest, Sadovitz. to the west, and Gardinkl. to the northwest. It was not known until today how t many i urKisn troops were in Tne city. Estimates heretofore varied from 18,000 to 30,000. The population numbered 22.000. mostly Greeks. The fortifications, which had at one time been considered strong, were antiquated and could not resist mod ern cannon. Provisions throughout the siege had been plentiful, as Janina is a center of the grain trade. Sink Three Ships. Vienna, March 6. The Turkish crui ser Hamidieh today sunk three Greek transports loaded with Servian troops on the way to Scutari, according to a Constantinople dispatch to the Neue Ereie Presse. The attack on the transports oc curred, it is said, near the peninsula of Hagion Oros, in the Aegean sea. From this it would appear that transports were proceeding not to Scutari but to Gallipoli, where it was proposed some time ago by the Balkan allies to make a flank attack on the Turkish troops defending the Dardanelles. The con voy of Greek transports was a large one, consisting of 24 vessels, which carried 34 guns. They were encountered by the Har-idieh shortly after they j had left tne coast. j Suffer From Cold. j London. March 6.

Senate Worked Till 1 O'clock This Morning. Shortly after noon today the senate ceased the consideration of ail bills originating in the upper house of the legislature. With the completion of this 50 days of debate and oratory, the senate does away with its calendar which included 146 measures of local and state wide importance. Up to date the senate has passed bills in the neighborhood of ZOO. When the senate calendar was washed clean of senate bills today 20 measures on third reading died a po lite death. On general orders 126 bills took the last breath of life. Among these 146 acts were measures of im portance and bills that have consti tuted a large part of the legislative interest this year. Here is a list of the more important measures which are killed on account of lack of time for consideration: Revision of railroad pass rules by Trott. '.'Pure paint" bill by Wilson of Jef ferson. County officers' fee and salary bill, by committee.: Daily passenger service on all rail roads by Davis. Incorporation of good roads asso ciation by Waggener. Grain threshers' reports by McMU- Stock protecting sheds by Meek. Semi-monthly pay day by commit- tBState life insurance company by Davis. Good roads fund from sale of river sand by Malone. Weights and measures regulations by Simpson. Small debtors' court by Davis. Municipal club rooms for children by Howe. Care of state house grounds ana mansion by Huffman. State fraternal benefit association by Davis. State printing of blanks and records for townships by Stavely. Bill posting regulations by Stavely. Bank, guaranty law by Josephs Penitentiary island bill by commit tee Exemption of manufacturing prop erty from taxation by Milton. County aid to first settlers by Davis. Reorganization of Agricultural so ciety by Howe. Repeal of college fraternity tax ex emption law by Bowman. The senate did not waste time in tne cessation of bills this noon. The clock was stopped for a few minutes to allow a message from the governor to be read. Then the session opened, a motion for adjournment was Placed, it prevailed and in one crack of the gavel 14 6 bills that have occupied hours of time and work, died for the 1913 session. The senate worked all morning on j i Hiiio Nineteen meas- imru icrtuiB ures were passed on separate roil call and reading. The members objected to bulk rolls and omniDus readings, muic still on general or- tnan iw ders were not advanced. The authors of the bills did not oojeci, nuwevci. They were glad to abandon the grind and allow their measures to rest until two years hence. Beginning tnis aiwunwn took up house bills that have been i ,.f. tn tVi a east wing of the state house. More than 3o0 of these bills will be jammra miu me calendar for consideration in the next three or four days. It means all night sessions next week and a dark thick curtain over the placid face of the sen ate clock. rr--- nTKHriaT-ntinn Of hOUSe blllS i 1 1 tr ceases the middle of next week. The senate has recommended the nassage of the resolution calling for an investigation of the poultry industry in Klnsir It is stated that this state does $30,000,000 annually in eggs and poultry and that there is a preventable loss of $5,000,000 each year. The last chance to bring out an ad ministration inheritance tax bill on the calendar failed in the senate this morning when a motion by Wilson, of Jefferson county, to reconsider the vote of yesterday was voted down by the enemies of the legacy measure. At noon today the consideration of all senate bills by the senate ceased and It was the plan of the inheritance tax supporters to make one more frantic effort to place the law on the statute books. Ten senators failed to vote. On the first call in favor of the motion. 14 senators arose to their feet. The op position brought 16 votes up and the final efforts were futile. It is known positively around the senate chamber that Governor Hodges favors some kind of a legacy tax. In fact he had instructed his lieutenants to try and bring about a successful reconsideration of the vote taken Wed nesday afternoon when the measure was killed by Senator Waggener and his followers. The attempt this morn ing lacked the support that was found yesterday and the doom of the inherit ance tax law for the next two years was recorded. Undoubtedly Kansas needed some kind of an inheritance tax. The reve nue to be derived from foreign lega cies alone would have maintained one or more- of the big state institutions. The governor's message favoring an unqualified repeal of the old law was construed by the enemies of the law to mean nothing less than wiping the measure from the statute books and they clung to this belief. The last remnant of a bulk sales bill was thrown in the waste basket this morning when the Judiciary committee TO MEETJODAY. First Official Gathering of New Cabinet. President Wilson Receives Am bassador From Japan. Washington, March 6. President Wilson's second day In the White House found a long engagement list awaiting his attention. Baron Chinda, ambassador from Japan to the United States, the first representative of a foreign power to be received formally, was among the first. Baron Chinda bore the congrat ulations of the Japan emperor to Mr. Wilson. The reception was in the Blue room with the ceremony that accom panies the visit of an ambassador to a president. Ambassador Bryce, of Great Britain, met President Wilson informally yesterday. Augustus Thomas and Frederick C Penfield, who are being mentioned aa likely to become ambassadors to Euro pean courts, had engagements at the White House later in the day President Wilson's cabinet was scheduled to meet formally today for the fl,rst time. The conference yester day was held before the nominations were sent to the senate and the meet ing had no official standing. No provision had been made today for Vice President Marshall, although President Wilson had been quoted as saying that he saw no reason why the vice president should not sit'with the official family. Attorney General McReynoids, Sec retary McAdoo of the treasury depart ment, and Secretary Red field of the department of commerce, took oaths of office early today. ASKS FOT UNITY.

Democrats of the senate today resumed their caucus to determine upon a plan of reorganization of the senate and the reshaping of committees that are to have charge of legislation in the new congress. Senator Kern of Indiana, chosen caucus chairman and majority leader in yesterday's session of the caucus, had a long conference last night with President Wilson and was prepared today to discuss in some de tail with his colleagues the policies and plans of the administration. Chairman Kern presented the fol lowing names of senators who are to compose the steering committee to make up Democratic committee as signments, and they were unanimous ly approved: Senators Kern, Martin, Clarke (Ark.). Chamberlain, Owens, O'Gorman, Smith (Ga.), Lea and Thomas (Colo.). .Democratic leaders regard these se lections as carrying a majority repre senting the progressive -Democratic element of the senate. The commit tee assignments they make will be presented later to the Democratic caucus for ratification. WHAT DID HE MEAN? Bryan's Strange Words to Office Force When He Took Charge. Washington. March 6. W. J. Bryan, in addressing the assistant secretaries and heads of the various bureaus o the state department, declared: "I am not prepared to discuss tenure in office. My own tenure is as I was about to say, brief, but my tenure has not even begun. I am sure your tenure is there fire not more uncertain than mine. I have not had time to learn from the pres ident the general policy that will be im pressed on the various departments but it is not necessary for us t0 discuss the length of service. It is sufficient at this time to make each other's acquaintance and I hope that when the time comes, for me to reassemble you to introduce you to my successor I can look back upon as delightful associations as the retiring sec retary does." Ir. Bryan's words caused surprise but he followed them with no explanation. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Fair and warmer tonight and Friday. Dr. Friedrlchv Franz Friedniann Is Having His Troubles With Both Patients and Health Authorities Over His Tuberculosis Cure. STORMEDBY SICK. Dr. Friedmann Forced to Ieavo New York Hotel. German Scientist Has Fled to Parts Unknown. New Tork, March 6. Harassed be yond endurance both by victims of the white plague and by newspaper report ers. Dr. Friedmann, the German scien tist who claims to have discovered a specific cure for tuberculosis has fled from his luxurious suite in the Waldorf to parts unknown. The management had given him to understand several days ago that it would be agreeable to them if he would open headquarters some other place. The reason of this was that men, women and children, buoyed at the hope of promise held out by his claims, slipped into the hotel at all hours of the day and night despite the efforts of the vigilant hotel de tectives and porters to keep them out. The Waldorf management attempted to make it clear today that the sole reason it was desired for Dr. Friedmann to leave the hotel was the practical im possibility of keping crowds of sufferers away from the premises as long as he was there. What was declared by represen tatives of Dr. Friedmann to be "encouraging progress" was made in his determined efforts to have his serum subjected to the tests required by the laws of the state and the rules of the local medical societies. Dr. Ernest J. Lederle, commissioner of the department of health, received from the German scientist samples of his serum for analysis. The chief purpose of this official analysis, so it was stated by Dr. Lederle, would be to determine definitely whether or not the serum is harmful. If it shall prove to be of no possible -"anger to the health of persons upon whom it may be tried, the board of health will issue a permit to Dr. Friedmann to proceed with his ap plication of the "cure" here. The commissioner of health suggested two hospitals in which the Friedmann "cure" might be tried the Riverside hospital, on North Brother island, and the Otisville hospital, in Orange county. Each of these institutions is caring for many tuberculosis patients. But until the Lederle tests have been made and approved. Dr. Friedmann cannot hope to administer his treatment here with out running the imminent risk of of fending the constituted authorities. Commissioner Lederle let it be un derstood that his department is not trying to hamper Dr. Friedmann in any way, but on the contrary It desired to give him every opportunity to prove the merits he claims for his discovery. It is generally understood, that should the health department's analysis show the Friedmann serum to be harmless, the German physician will immediately open a dispensary at a central point in the city for the treatment of pa tients. Woman Found Murdered New Tork, March 6. Mrs. Kather ine Godfrey, a young widow, was found murdered early today In her flat. Her head and face had been horribly battered, presumably with a club. The police attribute the crime to gangsters. Three men who report ed the killing to the police were de tained as material witnesses. They said they called to see the young 1 woman and found her dead. j J 9 NEW APPOINTEES. Hodges Names Important Boards Today. Ex-Gov. Hoch on ,the New Educational Commission.

A. Doerr, Larned. Governor Hodges today sent this long list of appointments to the sen ate for confirmation. In these appoint ments recognition was given many of the men and women who have been prominent in the public affairs of Kansas. The most important appointments of today were the three members of the new educational administration board, each of whom will receive a salary of $3,&00 a year. Two Demo crats Ed Hackney of Winfleld and Cora G. Lewis of Kinsley were named. Former Governor E. W. Hoch of Marion is the Republican member of the board. All of these members are prominent and widely known in Kansas affairs, while Hoch's record as a Chautauqua speaker is nation wide. Many legislative members were recognized in the appointments. Jas per Kincaid, Democratic member of the house from Olathe, Governor Hodges' home town, and former coun ty clerk of Johnson county, was named as state accountant to succeed J. C Gafford. The appointment was a sur prise to Kincaid, who had neither so licited nor expected the place. Another legislative member to be re membered was Senator William M. Price of Madison, who was named as one of the six regents of the State Agricultural col lege. A. A. Doerr, member of the house from Pawnee county, was named as one of the governor's aids and Frank Cron, Democratic member of the house from sutler county in 1911, was selected as one of the State Normal regents. Thomas W. Morgan, editor of the Ot tawa Republic, heads the new board of correction, with Speaker W. L. (Ironjaw) Brown second on the list. Charles M.

John MacDonald, To peka, beads the board FOR STATE DEPARTMENTS. Attorney General to Have $8,000 a Year. But General Reduction of Con tingent Funds. The house ways and means commit tee today announced It recommenda tions for appropriations for the state executive and Judiciary department, when a bill was introduced by J. N. He it. of Barber county, aa "chairman of the committee, in which were urgeu appropriation totalling 1.2W,M7.42. Numerous changes hav been made in the appropriations since the first re ports came from the commltt two weeks ago. One of the largest In creases was in the allowance by the committee of an 18,000 contingent fund for the attorney general's office after the committee had virtually agreed to reduce the fund from J10.000 to $5,000 a year. These appropriations cover every de partment in the state house from the governor's office to the historical soci ety, from district Judges and court re porters to rupreme court Justices. Tha figures on each department received the official O. K. of the senate committee and it is probable that all of these appropriation items will be approved by the legislature with slight, if any change. One of the big item In the appro priation bills Is the contingent funds for the various state departments, al though they have been materially re duced over the amounts allowed two years ago. Several improvement Items are included In the bill. Among these la $14,000 for upkeep and repairs for the state house grounds, $4,226 for re paving Jackson street between Ninth and Tenth street, and $10,000 for a new tunnel from the state heating plant to the state house and memorial hall. The bill does not include the appropriation for the completion of Memorial hall, which is covered In a separate bill from the ways and means commit tee. Amounts recommended for the vari ous state executive and Judiciary de partments for the next two years are: Recommended tnr Department 1914-13.

After having had the matter under consideration more than a month, the house ways and means committee has recommended an appropriation of $175,000 for the completion of Me morial hall, dedicated to the veteran of the Civil and Spanish-American wars. When completed the new build ing at Tenth avenue and Jackson street will have cost the state ap proximately $500,000. This building was started nearly four years ago, after the site had been donated by the city of Topeka. The 1909 appropriation, however, was barely sufficient for excavation pur poses and a $250,000 appropriation was allowed in 1911, bringing the coat of the building up to this time to about $300,000. This year it was ru mored that the appropriation to com plete the beautiful new marble and granite structure would be reduced. The Btate auditor, acting on the sug gestion of the state architect, esti mated that it would cost $200,000 to complete the building in keeping with the work already started. An appro priation of $175,000 has been arreed upon by both the senate and house committees and was recommended In a bill Introduced by the house ways and means committee. It now seems probable that but one constitutional amendment the recall will be submitted to the voters in the 1914 election. The house by a vote of 59 to 54 voted to wipe all con stitutional amendments from the cal endar, following a five hour fight over the adoption of the Orr resolution for the repeal of that section of the con stitution which forbid internal Im provement by the state. In his sweeping motion to remove constitu tional amendments from the calendar, however, Orr overlooked the Keene measure for a three-fourths Jury ver dict; but the Atchison man has served notice that he will lead a fight to kill that resolution also if the Bourbon county member attempts to force a consideration of the amendment at thai session of the legislature. 'The Tannahill bill, which would coin pel nonresident students In Kansas col leges to pay a tuition equal to the actual cost of the education of that student has passed the house over the vigorous protest of many of the ho"se (Continued on Page Two.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAE THURSDAY EVENING MARCH 6, 1913. IN SENATF'MILL," Boll Moosers Gain Recognition From Upper House. tt t,i Kinkel's Primary Amendment Recelres No Opposition. RELATIVES CAN HOLD OFFICE. JVagener "Blood and Mar riage" Measure Killed. Sidelights on ..Personalities of Members of the Senate. .The Bull' Moosers have been recog nized In Kansas at last. Their efforts of the last few months have rot been fruitless, because the state senate, com posed of rock ribbed Republicans and Democrats has voted to allow the Pro gressive ticket on the ballots without further trouble Jid legal complication. The measure introduced early in the cession by Senator Kinkel, of Morris county, the chief Mooser of the legls latureproviding for all the necessities of entering the sacred Kansas I -llot, has been favored wtihout concentrated opposition. Under the primary law now fn ef fect the Progressive party could not get its ticket on the ballot In the last lection and primary because it was i..,i i-n k. .v. mary. The Kinkel bill does away with the formal preparations and legal pro cedure. The Kinkel measure provides that a new party either organized or in the molds of organization can place Its candidates on the ticket by ob taining the signatures of two per cent of the voters of ten counties on the l.asls of the vote for the secretary of state at the last election. One requirement of the Kinkel bill Is that the new party must put up candidates for a majority of the offices Included in the election. A party ticket must enroll candidates for a good part of the state offices. Senator Kinkel is a satisfied legisla tor now that his Bull Moose bill has passed the senate. Despite the over whelming majority of good old fash ioned hard shelled Republicans and Democrats who harbor fear in their Tiearts for the coming new party in Kansas, the senate was in sympathy with the polite request of the senator from Morris county and they recog nized his party, fairly and squarely. The Progressives will have no com plaint to make of the manner they have been treated vby the Kansas Benate of the 1913 vintage. The Carney bill calling for the reor ganization of the normal training work" in the high schools of the state was passed late last night by the senate. Incidentally Senator Carney revealed to the members of the senate some of the practices of the state in the Inspection of high schools and the amount of mon ey wasted annually in what was termed a useless procedure.

The members also objected to the probable construction of the "In direct relationship." fearing that It might cause endless turmoil in public appointments. The Malone bill providing for the selection of official county papers by popular election was aeteatea in ni- teen seC0nds by the senate last night. popular election was defeated In fit- Senator Shouso moved that, the en acting clause be stricken out and the motion was carried. Malone looked on and laughed. Admonished by Carney of Cloud county to go home and preach the doc- trines of purity and anti-pool halls; and refrain from bringing their local troubles to the senate chamber, the members of the upper house last night killed the Davis pool hall regulation bill by a vote of 19 to 16. Not i til the body had spent two valuable hours of quickly diminishing legislative time, however, was the measure killed. The bill provided for a petition of half the residents of a ward and a li cense of $500 before a pool hall could be opened. The Troutman county jail matron bill has been approved by the senate and undoubtedly vwill be enacted Into law. Senatorial Sidelights. Wyandotte county is running a close second to Shawnee in the race for the worst hated county in Kansas. Prac "cally all of Senator Milton's bills of local nature i have been torn Into shreds by the senate with very little other reason than that they come from Wyandotte and Kansas City. The con centrated objection against Wyandotte measures has made this an unprofit able session for Senator Milton, Senator Trott of Geary county, a here the senate, presided over the commit- j a-va. U'Vk suiu wi w r top lilv a wa tee of the whole last night and han dled the final night session on consid eration of senate bills like a veteran. He 1 ept order with an iron hand and recognized speakers without fear or favor. The upper house is expecting much from Loring Trott next year, v In the last seven days Senator Nighswonger of Sedgwick has devel oped into one of the most satirical and convincing fighters of the body of forty. No one realized what was penned up in his pensive and medita tive nature until a few days ago when he was aroused on a few Wyandotte bills then his flood gates of stinging rebuke, were opened and since then he has been a leading fighter of the sen ate. Ben S. Paulen of Wil son county, the senator with dreamy eyes, is a standpat Republican, mayor of Fredonia, and a merchant whose statesmanship honors were thrust upon him. He has curbed his oratori cal emergencies this season. "I am just a new green member," he ex plains. But he has forwarded many ideas that have been considered seri ously and thoughtfully by the upper house. END GAME SWIFTLY. c. r. Kerr, Hock Island Trainmaster, Died of Indigestion. C. I.

St. Joseph, Mo., March 6. The first an nual interstate agricultural and indus trial congress opened a three-day Besslon here today with many prominent agri culturists and ecientifc men in attend ance. Dr. A. Ross Hill, president of the Uni versity of Missouri, and president of uie congress, made the opening address. Four states are represented on today's Dro- gram and in addition to the agricultural J Fe. Iron Mountain and Burlington rail roads, the federal department of agri culture Is represented by three experLs. Governor Morehead of Nebraska is vice president of the congress and high of ficials of several railroads will deliver ad dresses. All features of farming, fruit growing, stock raising and dairying are to be treat ed in the addresses. Many of tiiern will be Illustrated. Several noted women speakers are to discuss Improved meth ods for the housewife and the farmer. Mrs. Cora Wellhouse Buliard, of Tonga noxle, Kan., was the first woman speaker. WOULD CHANGE SYSTEM Plan Advanced to Hold Klections on Fourth of July. Chicago, March 6. A plan to make the Fourth of July an election day for the entire nation and Memorial day a countrywide primary day, was pro posed Dy Samuel Aiscnuier, a lorraer Democratic nominee for governor of Illinois yesterday, in an address before the Association of Commerce. "We must do something to stir up the voters of this nation," Mr. Ai scnuier said. "They must be aroused to a sense of their duties. At some judicial elections, hardly any one turns out. Too little interest is taken In elections and primaries. "We should have our primaries on Decoration day and election day on the Fourth of July real holidays, not merely days when the saloons, banks and public offices are closed. We have separate ballots for the judiciary, the state, the nation and the city. Let us devote as much of those days as possible to voting. No holiday would be more patriotically or more ad vantageously spent." CONTINUE WORK'. Recommend&tion Made Chairman McComhs. Democratic Committee Should Keep Active. "Washington, March e. The cratic national committee, in Demo session here yesterday, took cognizance of the senatorial deadlock in Illinois and New Hampshire and adopted a resolu tion expressing the hope that Demo crats be elected to the senate to fill the vacancies In those states. The resolution, introduced by Clark Howell, of Georgia, directed Chairman McCombs to take such action as he deems necessary to assure the election of two Democratic senators in Illinois and one Democrat In New Hampshire. In Illinois James Hamilton Lewis and Charles Boeschenstein, the national committeemen, are the Democratic candidates. In New Hampshire Henry P. Hollis has come within a few votes of election, though several Democrats refrained from voting for him. Despite the fact that Mr. McCombs has been offered the ambassadorship to France and the belief of his friends t. has not yet "e- a?' J? haa., ?f iT linquished the chairmanship of the na tional committee and in his address he gave Indications that he expected to direct the work of party organiza tion for some time. In response to a resolution of thanks for his work In the last campaign, Mr. Mccomps declared he believed In a broader scope of activities for the na tlonal committee and that It would be a delight to him to carry on the work as far as he could. "I don't believe," said Mr. McCombs, "after an election or an attempted election of president a committee should be dormant until a few months before another election. I believe we should be In thorough co-operation all of the time. I don't myself know how to get along wltnout organization, My mind runs in those channels. With reference to the organization which we now have, I think we have the best fighting body of Democrats in this country. If It had not been you would not be here. Organization Necessary. "I believe that In order to assure a continuation of what w have accom plished we have got to be an organized army and unless we do organize as an, army we are going to meet an or ganized army on the other side and there may be danger. "Two years from now when we are going to meet strong opposition, we can maintain ourselves In congress and can organize ourselves for the grc it battle four years from now." The committee elected Homer S. Cummings, of Connecticut, as vice chairman, Rolla Wells, of Missouri, treasurer and voted to establish head quarters in Washington to be in charge of Thomas J. Pence. During the session the committee was addressed by Miss Mary B. Foy, of Los Angeles, president of the Cali fornia Women s Democratic league, who declared that the Democratic women of California had much to do in splitting the electoral vote in that state in the last election. Last night the members of the committm were rn- ceived in the east room of the White House by President Wilson. .The'e the president was presented by National committeeman Moore, of Ohio, with a large rolled silver sheet, bearing the engraved names of 100 Ohio Democrats, nnrtrn.itn nf the nrogir?rt an t7i, president and a picture of the a picture of the Ohio state house. It is said to be the largest piece of sheet silver ever rolled. Before visiting the White House, the committee witnessed the swearing in of Josephus Daniels, one of its members, as secretary of the navy and visited Secretary of State Bryan, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Secretary of War Garrison. The committee ad journed subject to call of the chairman. A GLEAN SLATE. (Continued from Page One.) times the present issue and to issue preferrei stock. The bills aroused stubborn opposition in the' house, but were crowded into the bulk roll calls in the final rush to complete consider ation of original measures. The house has passed a brand new garnishment bill, introduced by Mike Frey of Geary. On the passage of the former bill Governor Hodges refused to sign the measure and declared that it was unfair and unjust and diS not afford proper protection for the la borer In view of the present high cost of living. When the bill was sent back to the legislature with the recommendation that it be repaired, a new bill was in troduced which is expected to meet the aproval of the administration. Freys new bill provides for a 10 per cent, a month garnishment instead of 25 per cent, as was provided for in the old bill. It also provides that be fore a garnishment order can be is sued, that the creditors must secure judgment in some court of equity and that tho debtor must secure judgment in some court of equity and that the dbtor be given a day in court. J. JC. Herr as chairman of the house ways and means committee, to day introduced the appropriation bills for the soldiers' home at Fort Dodge and for the Mother Bickerdyke home at Ellsworth. The appropriations for these two institutions for the years 1914-15 aggregate $277,060. For the soldiers' home, the ways and means committee recommends appropriations aggregating $241,300. To the Mother Bickedyke home, the committee would make appropriations in the amount of $35,700 tor the two years. The bills, which were advanced to third reading will be considered the latter part of the week. It is probable that the educational appropriation bills, introduced in the senate several days ago, will be con sidered in the house either Saturday or Monday. These measures will be among the last bills to receive the con sideration of the legislative members and it is generally believed that the ap propriations will be allowed in prac tically the same amounts as recom mended by the ways and means com mittees of the two houses. House members believe that they will be able to dispose of the bills from the senate in ample time to allow them to adjourn next Tuesday without per mitting any measures to die on the cal endar. In the last two weeks the house has been going at a -record pace anI has put through scores of measures. This afternoon the bouse started on the first bunch of senate bills and will stay on the Job -until the task is com pleted. The 1913 body has established a record by cleaning up its own bills promptly -on time and will now try to dispose of the senate calendar in order that It may adjourn at the hour set by the provisions of the resolution adopted several days ago by both branches of the legislature. APPROPRIATIONS. (Continued from Page One. members. No such law has ever been enacted by any of the adjoining states and it is claimed that the passage of the bill will be a direct slap at the schools of other states and probably result in the enactment of a law which will compel Kansas students in Mis souri. Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and other state schools to pay a tuition for their education. On the face of the bill, Tannahill's measure looks perfectly harmless and inoffensive. But it is loaded with poison for the college men and women and some of the college members of the legislature jumped on the bill with both feet, Schlicher, of Saerldan coun ty, led a fight to kill the measure, but the farmer members of the house thought the measure would be a grand good thing and voted for lta adoption. An effort will now be made to defeat the bill when it is considered in the senate the latter part of the week. Under the Tannahill bill, a student in any Kansas educational Institution who is a nonresident of the state would be compelled to pay the actual cost of his education in that school. In comparison with such a law, is the broad policy of free education extend ed by other state schools. Adjoining states admit Kansas students to their schools without pay. The students pay their board in the town in which the school Is located, buy their clothing and spend more or less incidental money and ultimately become boost- J ers for both the state and school In I which they received their education. sui xannaniu proposes to put me eu ucational advancement in Kansas' on a cold blooded business basis and to close the doors to students from other states. And in his effort he has been assisted by a majority of the house members. George G. Bunger, of Kskridge, was elected by members of the house of representatives as a member of the Memorial hall building commission to succeed J. W. Burke of Salina. Bunger, who is a Democrat, and member of the house from Wabaunsee county, was elected by acclamation. He will serve as a member of the building commis sion until the new half-million dollar structure is completed. In 1910 Bunger attained his first recognition in state wide politics when he was elected to the legislature In a campaign in which he defeated Bank Commissioner J. N. Dolley, who was at that time a can didate for the office and the nominee of the Republican party. ASKS FOR UNITY. (Continued from Page One. coin Dixon, Indiana; Cordell Hull, Tennessee; W. S.

The Democratic members of the ways and means committee will com mence the final committee revision of the tariff next Friday, taking up the work where the Democrats constitut ing the majority of the committee in the last session of congress left it as a "tentative basis." There will be a tariff caucus when the extra session convenes, to pass upon the report. Party Program Outlined. Speaker Clark's speech in acknowl edgment of his renomination dealt with the party's program and future. He urged the carrying out of the party promises and said the only way to achieve this was for every Democrat In official position to "give the best there is in him and subordinate indi vidual ambition to the public weal." "It is a thing incredible,' he de clared, "that any man fit for official station would let his personal likes or dislikes interfere with his co-operating with any other Democrat In unifying the party in its herculean and multi farious tasks to redeem our pledges." This utterance was cheered. "The suggestion of any such a state of affairs comes from faint-hearted Democrats, who are forever seeing ghosts," the speaker continued, "or from malignant marplots, who, though masquerading as Democrats, are not Democrats at all but wolves in sheep's clothing. Certain of these venomous eleventh-hour Democrats are loud mouthed in proclaiming trouble where none exists and in laying down a rule of conduct for real Democrats. "Genuine Democrats, who have the good of the party and the country at heart, would do well to give no heed to these self-styled Democrats, whose chief business is to stir up strife by foully slandering any Democrat who has earned their enmity by being a Democrat at all times, under all cir cumstances and at all places." The speaker said the house Demo crats had been together since March 19, 1910, "when for the first time in seventeen years the Democrats in the house electrified the country by voting together not a man missing in a great struggle." "I predict," he concluded, "that they will in the Sixty-t lird congress act in unison, not only with themselves, but with President Wilson." WOULD HELP TURNER. Kansas City, March 6.

For the first time in years childish prattle and laughter are heard in the White House: The baby daughter of Mrs. Perin Cothran, the president's niece, and the little daughter of Mrs. J. Wilson Howe, another niece of the president, have taken possession of the long terrace opening off the east room. The Cothran baby still is in the per ambulator stage. She already has taken a strong liking for the great guttering chandelier in the east room. with its thousands of crystal pendents. As a result, the youngest of the presi dent's relatives is satisfied only with a position In the center of the nation s greatest state chamber, where Bhe may lie on her back and- feast her baby eyes on the sparkling wonder above her. WILL ISSUE EDICT. League President Johnson Disfavors Player-Scribes. Chicago, March 6. President B. B. Johnson of the American League is said to have a bomb ready for hurling into the ranks of ballplayer-scribes in his organization. It was learned here last night that the league's ex ecutive was about to issue an edict which would either stop ball players from writing expert opinion for news- papers, or stop their salaries. i "It is not the intention to Infringe on the rights of the players," Johnson said, "but alleged expert criticism and baseball playing do not mix. I would not mind so much if the players them selves wrote the stuff which appears in the papers throughout the land, but j in a great majority of cases the play- ers never see the stories to which their names are appended until after they nave Deen printed. ACCEPT NEW JOBS. Former Government Officials Go to Express Companies. Washington, March 6. Charles G. Thompson, chief clerk of the postoffice department, who did much of the execu tive work of organizing the parcel post, resigned today to become general purchas ing agent of the United States Express company. Charles A. Lutz, chief exam iner of carriers accounts for Interstate commerce commission, resigned to become comptroller of the same company. Their employment Is part of a plan, it was said, for a general reorganization of the ex ecutive staff of the express company. Other companies are said to be planning similar changes to meet the new require ments which will be imposed as a result, of the interstate commerce commission's recent investigation of their rates and practices. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, March 8.-WHEAT Bearish re ports on farm reserves in the Dakotas and Minnesota help turn the wheat mar ket downward today after an early ad vance. The strength at the outset was due to reports that a large percentage of the crop in Germany had been found to be fit only for pig food. Opening prices varied from a shade off to Ma up. May started at 91c to 91(lc. rose to 91(e 91'c, and then fell to 9091c. Later the market rallied owing to ex port sales here and because Minneapolis receipts were said to be running poor in quality.

STOCKS The stock market continued today on its uncertain course of the week, which has been marked by alternating periods of strength and weakness. following yesterday's advance, traders sold stocks today and prices were depres sed 1 to 2 points in some instances, with larger losses for a number or specialties. Bear operators sought to make capital out of the poor showing of the Bank of Jineland in its weekly statement which emphasized unfavorable monetary condi tions abroad. Little attention was paid to the satisfactory earnings published by a number of middle western railroads or to the evidences of prosperous conditions in the Seteel industry. Sentiment was bearish, although trading was con tinea almost entirely to the professional ele ment. Bonds were easy. Opening changes ia stocks today were about evenly divided between small frac tional gains and losses. Trading was dull The only variations of more than a frac tion were in Snuff, which declined 1 and Canadian Pacific, which lost a point.

In 30 Days 50o Package of Bemarkable Flesh Builder, Protone, Sent Free to Prove What It Will Do. Athletes who want to take part in track events at Washburn college are scarce this spring. In addition to that. the training season has been delayed by the weather and other things to such an extent as to cast a big irloom over these events at the Institution. The training season for track work has been delayed by the weather, and by the heavy basketball schedule. In addition to these causes, there is a shortage of material. The first in door meet of the season will be next Saturday. This will be held In the gymnasium, and Incidentally will be a tryout for the dual meet which will be held with the Aggies March 15. Prospects indicate that Washburn may be short of track men this spring. Not more than six or eight men have reported for practice and it is generally believed that the sprinters of the 1912 team will not report at all this season, or at least not u-til during the latter part of the track season. Lowe, Nye an Miller, who were ex ceptionally fast on the cinder paths, will not report for spring training at all, it is said. They may report in time to do outdoor work but not for Indoor service. Lowe is one of the fastest in the state in short dashes and his absence '-ill be felt. Nye is equally as valuable to the Blue in long dashes. Miller, O'Brien and T. Reams were good on the paths. Garvey is another, but none of these are expected to report for workout. Neil Rogers will represent Washburn in weight throwing in the field events and will probably be the only man to com pete in these events. It will be neces sary to find new material to work out in the high Jump and hurdles. Cham berlain and Janey worked out in these events last year, but they are not In school this spring. McCafferty, colored, will compete in the broad Jump and Logan and Bearg will compete in pole vaulting. McCafferty is a record man. The prospects for freshman and sophomore track men is discouraging at present, but Coach Driver expects a lare turnout in the near future. The interclass meet for next Saturday will be interesting. Salary Question Cause. St. Paul, March 6. Ralph Capron, former University of Mlnresota football star, will not play with the local club of the Ameican Association this year, according to an announce ment last night by Manager Friel. Th nueation of salary could not be agreed upon.

The news Is received In The State Jour nal bi-lldina- over wires for this sole pur pose. 1 Tariff reduction like charity should oegln at home, but it never does. "The average life of a $10 bill is a little more than twelve months." The man who said that must live in Phila delphia. Miss Mary L. Duke is reported to be worth $60,000,000. A woman with that much money should be called a duchess. "Trt your enemies kiss you," says an Eastern preacher. Perhaps there has been a revolt in the choir and this is an invitation. The fact that boys snowballed the marching suffragists leads to the con viction that there were no oldfashion ed mothers in the parade. Horses avlued at $20,000 were stol en in New Tork last year. Still all that effort was not needed to put the old horse cars out of business. Why all this fuss about Mr. Wilson s plans to spend nart of each day in the president's room in the capitol? Per haps his only object is to get his usual afternoon nap. The eye of the school master will be on congress in the future. The new president proposes to spend a part of each day at the capitol while the na tional legislature is in session. The negro. Matt Henson, 'who" was with Peary at the pole, will be put in the classified clvilservice without examination. The country can stand that much favoritism. How about the Eskimos? The dictators of fashion in New York have decreed that the hem' of women's dresses shall be only one inch from the ground. But that won't make them keep it there if they are wearing those new, handpainted silk stockings. Nordica gave a song recital in Los Angeles last week and Adolphus Busch, the millionaire St. Louis brew er, who is spending the winter there was too ill to attend. The next day the diva went to his home and sang for him. One person's guess is as good as another's as to how much she was influenced by the Busch millions. The public-service commission in New Tork has ordered the height of street-car steps reduced for the con venience of wearers of hobble skirts. Powerful are the laws of fashion, says the World. But if feminist influence can accomplish such a reform without the ballot, to what length may it not go with it? President Taft has remitted the sen tence .of one year in prison of S. H. Snider, convicted at Kansas City in 1909 for use of the mails to defraud in connection with the promotion of the Two Queens mines in Arizona. Snider was commissioner of insurance in the first Populist administration" in-Kansas. He has made a long hard fight to keep out of jail. The second step in the plan of the stockholders in the Hutchinson fair association to unload is outlined by the Gazette in the following: "The fair bill now is, or soon will become a law. The next important move is the voting of a 550,000 bond Issue, the proceeds from the sale to be used to purchase the grounds and buildings for the state. It is needless to say that approuriations for maintenance, premiums, etc.. will be lllL? rtaan.r. hUn- i u.uo v. w,i,uoiuua i' 1 uvrilrtl 3 Will- COme to Hutchinson.

HONORIXG A GOOD EDITOR. Times have changed since Byron marked his Bible, "now Barabbas was a publisher," and sent it to John Mur ray. with whom he was quarreling, There are authors who love their pub- Ushers; there 8 re writers who kiss the editorial hand that belabors them, when they know such chastening comes from genuine interest, genuine desire to help, and not a pompous, querulous, irritated, editorial omniscience. Down in New York, the other night, there were enough of these apprecia tive authors to get up a surprise din ner for an editor who had been truly kind to them and enough outside ad mirers of the man to make a big list of distinguished guests to see fcim turn red when a monster loving tup was given to him and gasp and stammer and stumble about when all the speak ers testified to his sincere and "continuous-performance" helpfulness. His name is GHlman Hall, now an editor of Everybody's, but in his time on the staff of a number of prominent magazines. His was the good by stealth, the ignorance of the left hand concerning the kind-hearted doings of the right. By chance a half dozen writers, now successful but once strug gling, foregathered and unburdened themselves of their various tales of hardships. All accounts had one point in common; an editorial good fairy who had come to each, not with undiscriml nating acceptances but with wise, tonic, clarifying regrets that pointed out their present incapacities and showed how these could be triumphantly overcome. Then these writers struck hands In a common sense of gratitude and lured Hall to a dinner that would put their feelings permanently on record. Hall is not unique in his attitude, j though perhaps exceptional in his as sertion of it. Editors are not tyrants, ghouls or ogres. They do not live on the flesh of infant authors, but the brains of those matured. So many foolish, vain, incapable people seek to write nowadays that editors have to be plain speakers to protect themselves. A man who has commanded success "by mastering his own trade ana wno would think the outsider crazy who thought to practice it without years of experience, leaves his logic behind when he takes to writing and blithely dashes off a novel, a poem, or a drama with out one ounce of capacity for the work. When he is turned down, his vanity cries out "rings" and the uselessness of the young author's efforts to break through them. Quite the -reverse. Tons of sadden ing manuscripts are read yearly in the quest of new talent. A fresh angle in narration, a new slant in seeing the tangles of the world, is as valuable as a diamond in the blue clay. Is Is eager ly sought, too. And, to continue the comparison, as 'carefully polished. The day that promising "copy" is found is marked with a red letter and the editorial force celebrates it, vinously or otherwise, according to the official thirst. New writers are as essential to the magazines as new parts to an auto. The old ones give out and must be re placed. This promising talent is nursed and coddled. It is stimulated with praise, for art is sensitive. It is chast ened with criticism, for the same art is vainglorious. It is led step by step till it can walk, and, walking, it Is taught to sprint. Editors like Gillman Hall do this, partly out of goodness of heart, mostly because of business shrewdness. Where there is genuine talent there is little complaint. It is vain, windy pretense that "hollers." THE FRIEDMANN CURE. In this country, as in Germany, the government has taken such interest in the cure for tuberculosis which Dr. Friedmann claims to have discovered that its experts can be trusted soon to determine the full truth about the powers and promise of the new rem edy. In America, as in Europe, the disease which the young German physician is confident he has learned how to conquer, is so terrible a foe to human life and its treatment is so un satisfactory, in thousands of cases, every year, that there can be no halt ing in the investigation of Dr. Frled- mann's claims, until his discovery- is thoroughly tested In the most public manner. Pulmonary tuberculosis is common ly a slow disease and persistent after it has been checked or partially cured. In the nature of the "white plague" it will take months to deter mine the permanent results of the Friedmann treatment, but that no time will be lost for -lack of public or professional interest is certain. If private investigation and experiments were wanting the work" of govern ments of the highest rank would in sure definite results.- INDIVIDUALITY OF PUPILS. Until recently the interest of public education, says Dr. Elmer E. Jones in the Psychological Clinic, has been di rected to the great average cf child hood with little reference to the two extremes of the probability curve, one end representing defectives and Jhe other end accelerates. It is obvious biiities two or three times as great as the average child, and yet must be moulded into conformity with him. He is habituated and disciplined in the routine of the school adapted to the child far below him in intellectual ca paclty, and thus suffers retardation in ma progress just as real ana even more 1 patnetlc, than Is experienced by nis defective school mate. He is given little opportunity to grow to his full ca- pacity, to develop clear up to his psychological and physiological limit.

Woodson county commissioners are planning to take the kinks out of the Neosho and the "Verdigris.

The office of mayor Is chasing a Humboldt citizen so hard that he has been forced to declare that he will not serve if caught. Since assessors are directed to assess everything of value, J. R. Burton points out that the snow is one of the most valuable things in Kansas. When a farmer's wife brings in a basket of eggs, says Bert Walker, you can't convince her that she has made a mistake in the count if you argue with her four hours. The probate judge of Douglas coun ty announces that he has made a list of the families in Lawrence who are able to take care of children and ought to have them. He is going to assign the infant charges that come into his court to these families. He further says that the list is not going to be kept alphabetically. Whenever he hears of a family he is going to write the name down. On the Neosho Falls rural routes, says the Toronto Republican, the rural carriers are given showers such as are bestowed upon newly married folks in other parts of Kansas. Last week a carrier received from admir ing patrons the following goods: A cornea beef roast, half a shoulder of pork, spare-ribs, sausage, dressed chicken. sweet potatoes, peanuts, eggs, pickles, spiced peaches, plums, cake, pie, jelly, potatoes, mince pie, a pint of cream and a generous dona tion of sauer kraut. Jude Johnson, who wears a big diamond ring, should wash his hands. For instance, hygiene is taught in a lot of very unsanitary school buildings. Good advice is all right, but one shouldn't limit his generosity to giving that alone. It is sometimes difficult to tell whether people are laughing with you, or at you. Dead men who tell no tales might be surprised at some of the things their tombstones say. If Father draws the douDtful compli ment that he might do worse he is ex pected to be satisfied. A congressman finds it as hard to look important In Washington as it Is not to in his home district. If a man pays for a two dollar banquet, he shouldn't be expected to stay and listen to the speeches. You may have noticed that the bread winner is also expected to come across with the price of other viands. Good workmanship Is one of the best known methods of attracting favorable attention, and the best one known to keep it. An Atchison man has a brother who Is such a poor correspondent that when he writes and asks him how deep the snow is at his home, the reply Is apt to contain the number of heat prostrations of the day before. QUAKER MUDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Press. Many a man has been undone through undue influence. No man can bluff Death Into thinking he is too busy to die. Patience is a virtue, but don't lose sight of the fact that there are others. A girl may not love her enemies, but she invites them all to her wedding. Many a woman attempts to drive an automobile who couldn't drive a tack. Some fellows are so busy hustling that they haven't time to do anything else. On the road to pleasure mighty few people think of buying a return ticket. It is much better to have a little confi dence In yourself than to have too much in others. Cleverness may, after all, be- an ability not to attempt the things we know we can't do. About one man In ten million is taken at his own valuation, for which the world is better. No, Maude dear; you are slightly mix ed. The clearing house is not where the speculators clean up the filthy lucre. "Faith will move a mountain," quoted the Wise Guy. "Yes, but it won't fight a gas bill," added the Simple Mug. Time works wonders- The summer girl, who had such liquid eyes six months ago, may now greet you with an icy stare. Eve, for the first time m tneir married life, was telling Adam just what she thought of him. "This Is the original rib roast," chuckled Adam. And that was the beginning of the saving grace of humor.

REFLECTIONS OP- A BACHELOR, From the New Tork Press.J Baying experience is doing business at a total loss. What makes a girl specially afraid she might loae her complexion 1s If she's al ready done it. The reason the guess of a woman Is so often right Is she backs it against her husband's judgment. One of the most comfortable things for rich people must be bow they don't have to keep up appearances. Nothing makes a man feel so unselfish as what he would do for his family with his in one v if he didn't need it for him self. I GLOBE SIGHTS j BY THE ATCHISON OLOBB.

ABOLISH THE OFFICE. The senate has passed the bill abol ishing the office of election commis sioner. Of course that does not ac complish the purpose, but if the house members from Wichita comprehend the wishes of the taxpayers of this city. W IBilCS Vt IUC lO'ai'aJ there should be no trouble in passing the bill. The city clerk can add tne work to his office with less cost than it requires now. With the deputy re tained, and without further help than the office now requires, the saving would be the salary of the commis sioner. The deputy commissioner could help the clerk' in other directions when nothing was doing in the registration line, and the favor be returned by other clerks when the rush was on. The way to save money to the taxpay ers is to cut down unnecessary expend itures. Wichita Beacon. INTERNATIONAL OUTLAWS.

It is as if Grant haii seized Lincoln and had gone over to the side of Jefferson Davis. Huerta did what Benedict Arnold tried to do. Major Andre was hanged for acting as inter mediary between Arnold and the British commander.

CURE FOR THE LOAN SHARK EVIL. in Its characteristically practical way the Industrial club of Chicago has started 1,i.-..v. .v. i. i",!! t i lzes that loan sharks could not secure many victims if the victims as a rule did not find themselves driven by hard neces sity Into the power of the loan sharks. So it is seeking to abolish the prevail ing system of making loans to wage earn ers by substituting a reasonable and well regulated loan system. The effective way to remedy an evil Is to provide for the need that causes the evil to exist. The bill to establish industrial wage loan societies, which the Industrial club cham pions and which is now before the legis lature, fixes a maximum rate of Interest of 3 per cent a month. The rate, though apparently high, is conceded by those who know the risks of this kind of business to be as low as it can be made without for cing losses or inadequate profits upon the loan societies. Loan sharks charge very much higher rates. By authorizing under careful regulations, loans to wage workers at a rate that will give a fair profit the state would create a kind of competition that should speedily drive the loan sharks out of business. The penalties provided by the bill for the lending of money at any rate higher than the maximum rate authorized ana t Vi o niacins, nf r(miM;Ant!ltiVMI of the State and the city on the boards of directors of the loan societies have tne oouDieurpose of affording adequate protection to bor rowers and giving confidence in tne in stitution to those who must borrow. Thus, by supplying a need on reasonable terms, the measure presents an admirable solu tion of the loan shark evil. The legisla ture should perfect the industrial wage so cieties bill if on further examination It proves to be faulty in any respect and then should pass lL-Chicago News. POINTED PARAGRAPrX. From the Chicago News. Sound judgment is usually noiseless. A man hardly ever marries for love more than once.- The farmer who raises objections is sure of a large crop. No doubt the loafer thinks his is the only genuine simple life. AH men may be equal, but women are superior so says a suffragette. Some men never think of flirting unless there's a pretty woman handy. If a woman's ignorance is her bliss, he is a mean man who will put her wise. Money talks, but it is tight so frequent ly that its conversation is seldom worth repeating. There is a redeeming feature about hav ing one big worry; you don't have time to bother with a lot of little worries. Occasionally a young man marries a girl to reform her thinking he can break her of the habit of pointing out every Ice cream and oyster sign she sees. FROM. OTHER PENS A CYCLE.

He is ratner an elderly person. I Judge he ,s thirty-five or forty," said Marion, to whom age seemed a terrible monster. "That Isn't old, my dear," said J".lie thoughtfully. "His heart may be ver7 young. "Impossible! He has lived in some heathenish place out West for vears and years That would be all the youth out of any man.- Dear Julie, you have made me such beautiful things." Marion lovingly touched the soft white garments piled on the table beside them. "Never mind! I'll make your trousseau when the time comes." "That's a safe promise, little sister. Your fingers will never be pricked with love stitches for me." "I wish they could be, for your sake. i Julie. It's such a wonderful thing to belone-" she said softlv. lookinsr down at the clear white stone that symbol ized her betrothal. "You've had so many sweethearts. Why didn't you marry one of them?" Julie's eyes were tender and wistful as she lifted her head and looked be yound Marion to where the lilacs bloomed beside the old-fashioned gate. "I've been too busy," she said quietly, "spinning a fairy tale' "You could have been the princess in a real fairy, tale if you had married a real-fairy, tale if you had marrlea John Trayner and his millions. He could' have made all the beautiful

things you" have ever dreamed come true." "No,-he couldn't have made my fairy tale come true." "Was there .ever anybody who could?" "Once upon a time," said Julie, and tried to smile but failed, and lowered her eyes to the laces In her lap. "Go on," begged Marion like an eager impulsive child. "What was he like? Did"I know hlrar "Yes, but you don't remember him, I am sure. It has been; such a long, long time ago." "How long?" "I was eighteen, now I- am twenty eight ten years."

The old river ran by, sCnging the same song lovers have heard from its waters for centuries. From somewhere across the campus came the sweet melody of a guitar. A boy v s playing and singing a love song popular in the theaters then." Julie hummed it reminiscently. "And there with the song of the river blending with the song of the boy from over the hill, we plighted our troth and the moon and the stars beamed their blessing." "Dear Julie!" breathed Marion sof tly, j "what then?" I He went away to make his fortune. r,nck biff and brown and n,ce f! cam,e back. Dig ana Drown ana snlpnd d. After a year or two his let- ters began to come irregularly, and then one day he wrote me that he loved somebody else. I remember now my heart ached as I folded that. letter, knowing that it was the very last one I should ever read. Music seemed to die in the world. It was a long- time before I could put my heart in tune for the minor strain life meant for me to play. When I had put that last letter with the others I took from my desk a little picture of him, taken when he played basketball on the sophomore team and put it away, a little spring of rosemary to grow in my garden of re membered things. Now you know why none of the ships, though some were white winged and splendid. have dropped anchor in the quiet little har bor of my dreams." "It isn't fair for me to have every thing and you to have only mem ories," cried Marion. "They are not bad friends, my dear. You asked me the other day why I had that old rasinonea Diue-aress ueu iin en r-:i refnllv in one of my trunks. jje loved that dress so I have kept it jn lavender all these years. x wore it- the last night he was here." "Put it on now, Julie! I want to see you in it, too." Julie took the girl's face between her two hands. "Just to please you and because I am in the mood, I will." "I'm wishing for him," whispered Marion when Julie had gone. "I'm wishing for him with all my. heart There are those who say that wishes come true when one wishes hard enough. Maybe he will hear and come across a world to her." A maid appeared and said that Mr. Tom and his friend were below, and would like to see Miss Julie and Miss Marion immediately. Marion ran into Julie's room. In the soft clinging blue satin with for-fret-me-nots caught in the coil of brown hair on her neck, Julie was girlishly young. Dreams reawakened by her story to Marion lay in her clear eyes. "How lovely you are, Julie! Tom is here and his friend leaves tonight, so they can stay only a few minutes. Please come down as you are. You are beautiful like the picture of mother father loves best of all." Half reluctantly she went with Mar ion down the stairs. "This is my sister-to-be." Miss Julie Gordon "Julie, is it really you?" and when he stepped out of the shadow into the light Julie, lifting her eyes, saw lb man who had piloted her ship of dreams and set it adrift on strange "Why, Pha. ehe Bald, "if s good to see you again." For all the storming of her heart, she1 was outwardly calm. Marion tactfully drew Tom into-the next room. "Who is he? Where did he come from? Is he married? Is his wife dead?" "One question at a time, my dear girl. He is Phil Priestly, from- Colo rado. I never heard of his marriage Where did Julie know him?" "I don't know, but I have a suspi cion." j In the adjoining room the man stared at Julie as if she were a wraith that would disappear if he so much as blinked his eyes. "Are you flesh and blood. Julie?" he stammered at last. "I am," she laughed happily. "Now tell, me everything about yourself, your wife, your home and fortune! Tell me everything!" she urged. A log burned in the big fireplace. It was early spring, but there was still a chill in the air. He bent forward. nanos between his knees, as if he sought an answer to her questions in the dancing flames. He faced her suddenly. "I have no wife, no home, but I did make a fortune out there.

"Give whatever; you have to give, to some it "may prove "better $han you know" has been said in. regard, to charity. It seems to me it is an equally good description of the right kind of hospitality. This over-anxious hostess is a remark ably good cook. Having been enter tained by her much dreaded guests, I know she can get up a far better meal than their servant, and a meal that no one with a palate would help enjoying. Now she knows this, too. Then, why shouldn't she be content in having that to give, and not fret because the sil ver and china and linen from which she is to serve this meal will be some what less expensive than that to which her guests are accustomed? We all have different gifts in hos pitality just as in other directions, and the wise hostess concentrates in exer cising her own gift to the full, and doesn't waste energy in fretting over what she lacks. I know one woman who has a very shabby home and such an ill-furnished purse that she always serves the simplest of repasts. And yet she is one of the most popular hostesses that I know, because she has the fine gift of getting congenial people together and bringing out the best that is in them. To another unpretentious home we all love to go because it has such a j restful, old-time atmosphere, such an aroma of serenity, as it were, that one i comes rested and refreshed in spirit from a sojourn within its walls. And yet another hostess wins us by the freedom from formality and stiff ness which is always a characteristic of her entertaining. Give the best you have to your guests, and give it freely, and that will surely content any guest who is worth the having. A Modern Parable. Once upon a time there was a man who had a good job in the-government service, and he was healthy and mar ried and out of debt and contented. He thought the world was a very good one, as worlds go, and he liked every body. But oi.e day a peripatetic magician came to this man, whom we shall call Smones, and he says, says this magician: "Fool! Your grinning, idiotic good nature gives me a pain! You do not see things in their true light. I have here a pair of green goggles that will enable you to see things as they really are, and ril make ydu a present of em ir you 11 promise to wear 'em a year." So Smones prom ised, got the glasses and put them on. Immediately he perceived that the world had deceived him. It was reveal ed now as a place hideously distorted and full of hateful people. There was no real friendship or love or unselfish ness anywhere. So Smones quarreled with all his friends, divorced his wife, lost his Job, sold his home, took to drink and to abusing things in general. But he stuck to the goggles. One day a former friend smashed Smones be tween the eyes and broke the goggles to smithereens. Instantly Smones saw things as they had been before and set about repairing his broken fortunes not the broken goggles. This did not take long, for it was a lovely little world now. Well, then, Smones had everything back when the magicion returned. That worthy upbraided the grinning Smones, and demanded the re turn of the goggles. S..iones explained what had happened. "But I'll make you another prlr." he said, "because I examined the pieces and learned the secret. The glasses were really mir rors that reflected, not the world as it was, but what my shutin ego thought about it." "Foiled!"' hissed the magi cian, and away be wentl Chicago N ON THE SPUR Of ThE MOMENT WT ROY K. MOULTOX. 4 Contributed. Changing seasons oft remind ua How afflictions mar our lives.

It is not surprising to learn that to bacco smoke is inimical to the activity of micro-organisms, since it contains. among many other things, pyridin, which has been shown to be a power ful germicide. Definite experiments have recently been made which show that tobacco smoke rapidly destroys in particular the comma bacillus of chol era, A good many years ago it was reported by the senior medical officer of Greenwihch workhouse that the tobacco smoking inmates enjoyed comparative immunity from epidem ics, and tobacco smoking was believed I to hav 4 disinfectant action in I case of cholera and other infectious j diseases.

So do you and eo do we all. If you would make yourself popular keep a good hearty ha-ha on tap. Not one of i those sibilant, sycophantic tee-hfies;:.''whcn grow, from tho-llps out, (but5 a regular stem-winding cachination that starts somewhere in the region of the diaphragm, rum bles rejoicingly through the lungs and rolls its good, fellowship in an irrestible roar against the tympani of the company you have favored with your presence. The sympathetic contact, which is the all-important quantity in human relationship, is most effective and at its best in laugh that spreads its be neficent contagion to all its hearers. Laugh with a man and you are his comrade, though but a moment since your Angers itched. for his throat You may share your religion or your politics with your neighbor and hate him still, but you can't share your jokes with him and fail to love him. A good laugh starts the well springs of sympathy, which is the essence of love. Hate cannot abtde where laughter is. By the same token there is noth ing more abhorrent to the healthy mind than artificial laughter. One doubts if there is such a thing. The pink tea tee-hee is hardly laughter. The sycophantic snicker is a weak attempt at imitation. We may force smiles that will pass the inspection of the sunshine department, but no body has ever been able to counter felt a laugh that sounds natural. The note of hypocrisy is always the domi nant one. It lingers offensively after the sound has died away. It rankles in the heart that longed for a testi monial of appreciation in the shape of a sturdy. Impeachable ha-ha. It angers the sensatlve in that it betrays a palpable attempt at flattery. A forced laugh is in insult and most of us recognize it as such. Back in Puckyhuddle there was one man who was shunned as a pesti lence. He never laughed. He always sniggered. They said of him that if he had two tongues one would be lying on the other. They also said that if he had two selves, a good one and a bad one, instead of one self that was meaner than jlmson weed, each would stay away at night to watch the other. He couldn't laugh. It wasn't in him. His stingy, hypo critical soul had saped the blood from his body. When he tried to ex press the mirth that he did not feel he made us shudder or see red. For he only sniggered.

Dalia has a record of 662 dogs caught in the last vear and he was about to pounce upon the little unlicensed fox terrier which was following the mail carrier.

I could not lie in one position for any length of time and was also annoyed by a distressing kidney weak ness. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a box at Rowley's Drug Store and before I had used them long, my trouble was a thing of the past." (Statement given in August, 1899.) TIME IS THE TEST.

A rigid cen sorship was installed here today by the Sonora state government which yesterday waved the banner of states rights in the face of the national gov ernment of Huerta.

The house lead ers want to pass the tariff bills as quickly as possible and send them to the senate and then instead of taking up other legis lation, such as currency reform, have the housj adjourn for periods of three days at a time. Their object in this, it was said, .was to have the senate the only body doing business so that the eyes of the nation could be focused upon it and attention would not be diverted to. other subjects. In the opinion of some house leaders this would enable President Wil son and the Democrats in the senate, through their own power and the force of public attention, to get such tariff legislation as the Democratic platform declared to be necessary. Those callers who talked with the presi dent about the plan of the house leaders declared they believed he had not made up his mind, but thought he considered currency legislation as well as anti-trust legislation two important subjects which, should not be delayed. Some of them said, however,, that Mr. Wilson realized that in dealing with three such important subjects the intricacy of the legislative situation was to be considiar NO CHANGES YET.

(Continued from Page One.) moved his household goods from To peka to Wichita a few weeks ago. He had been in poor health for more than a year past, but was in Topeka last week and declared that he was feeling better than for some time. The news of his death here this afternoon was a severe blow to a host of warm friends in this city. Probably no politician in the state ever had more warm friends than Mr. Denton. He always kept faith with his friends, he was courteous, clever and accom modating and had a keen .sense of I humor. I Mr. Denton was a fine business man and owned an interest in several banks I and business enterprises in southwest Kansas; The oldtimers among the Kansas politicians of all parties and j factions knew and loved Denton for his many fine qualities of heart and mind. I "Straight and sincere and fine to his friends all the time," declared Tom Botkin today with tears in his eyes and a sob in his voice, as he was told the news of Denton's death. Bot kin ought to know; he was assistant secretary of state under Mr. Denton for four years. And Botkin's tribute was voiced by a score and more of men high in Topeka and state affairs this afternoon when they heard the pad news of "Gene" Denton's sudden death. CoUecting Cowboy Ballads.

A runaway team pulling a wagon occupied by a man and a woman was stopped at Eighth and Kansas avenue this noon by H. F. Sutton, state senator from Stafford county, and Vinton Still ings, senator from Leavenworth. The team wild from fright was running west on East Eighth avenue plunging into the Kansas avenue traf fic at the Eighth aventie crossing at the busy noon hour. Senators Sutton and Stilllngs were walking across the street on their way from the state house to their hotels, Seeing the t'earri, and the nian and woman franctically trying to stop them with loose lines, Senator Sutton leaped at the head of one of Hhe horses and with his fingers clutched around the nostrils bore the horse- to the ground. Senator Stillings jumped at the head of the other horse and two lives were saved from serious injury and possibly death. The horses were calmed and the man and woman drove away refusing to di vulge their names. RIVALRY IS BITTER. Exciting; Contest Expected in Wrest ling Match. Immediate? Tea!

Souffles and Timbales. The crucial test of an excellent cook is in the preparation and bak ing of souffles. Especially the baking. Only practical experience leads to perfection, though in reality it is an easy matter if the making and bak ing are carefully and thought fully done; but the main point really is in the baking. Well do we re member the old-time recipes for souffles, which said "Bake in a hot oven and serve immediately or they will surely fall." If such directions are followed a crust forma quickly j over the top leaving the center soft, and the souffle surely must fall as soon as remoVed from the oven. Again if the heat is too great in the beginning of the baking, the crust forms before it has a chance to rise. If not hot enough, the expansion of the air is not possible, which would also result in failure. Have a mod erately hot oven, put in the souffle i and do not open the oven door for at least fifteen minutes and twenty minutes is better. It should finish In thirty or forty minutes. Serve at once, if possible, if not cover with a hot dish. To successfully make souffles good eggs are necessary, beating the yolks and whites separately. And here is where the real art lies in the mak ing: incorporating all the air pos sible into the eggs while beating. Then the expansion of this air by moderate baking, gives a light deli cate souffle. Cut and fold in the whites at the very last moment. It is a most useful way of using "leftovers" In fruits, vegetables or meat, and is always a favorite, dainty dish. "Basis for All Souffles. Materials White sauce, 1 c. or equally thick sauce of bread crumbs and milk, fish, cheese, etc., to 1 c; eggs, 1 to 4. Directions Add the meat to the hot sauce, sometimes the meat is very dry or the fish or vegetables very moist, then more milk or bread crumbs may have to be added ac cordingly. When cool add the well beaten yolks, seasoning as needed, and fold in the stifffy-beatetf whites. Fill buttered molds or a single one stand in pan of hot water and bake as described above. Serve in the dish in which it is baked. Fish Timbales. Material White fish, -pound; soft, fine bread crumbs, 1 cup; milk, cup; cream, 6 teaspoonfuls; salt, 1 teaspoonful; white ofeggs, 6 white peppers. TJtensils Food chopper, measuring cup, tablespoon, teaspoon, double boiler, wine seive, egg beater, bowl, molds. Directions Put the uncooked fish twice through the food chopper; cook milk and bread crumbs in the double boiler until a smooth paste. When cold add it gradually to the fish and press through the selve. Add cream, salt, pepper and the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Butter small timbale molds and line the bottoms with paper cut to fit. Decorate with truffles, mushrooms, pimentos or peas and fill in the mixture. Stand In a baking pan half filled with boiling water, cover the tops with greased paper and bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes and serve with lob ster, shrimp or crab sauce.

s THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAI- THURSDAY EVENING MARCH 6, 1913- NOT A GOOD BILL. Governor Hodges Explains His Veto. Garnishment Measure Would Injure Workingmen. In vetoing the garnishment of wage bill, officially known as bouse bill No. 119. Governor Hodges declares that in Its original form the measure subjects to .eizure. for debt created for the necessaries of life, 23 per cent of the personal earnings of the wage-earner. ven though all his w&ges be necessary for the maintenance of his family. The governor gave that as one of the rea sons for his veto. Oovemor Hodges declares a firm be lief in liberal exemption laws, and says that the framers of the constitution un doubtedly had similar convictions when they exempted 160 acres of farm land or one acre in any incorporated town thereon. In his message to the Icgaslature, where in his veto was transmitted, the ITovernor recommends a substitute for the bill which will modify the objec tionable features. It is likely that the substitute, which already has been in troduced in the house, will prevail. The communication of the veto message says in part: "In view of the fact that the cost of living in recent years has increased something like sixty per cent, while wages have only increased from thirty to thirty-five per cent. and. there! ore more rather than less of the toiler's wages is required for the support of his family, it is clear to me that to now take twenty-five per cent of what Is conceded to be necessary for that nurnose can not be justified upon any ground that may be accounted humani tarian. Trv YliMiftfit I 'a mil v. T K., V,.i-n irr mind that these exemptions are not made especially for the benefit of the debtor, but as our supreme court nas aeciarea. in me in terest and for the benefit of the f-mily dependent in wnoie or in pari u mni, and to guard them against his im- i i ,-.r! in tho Inst Analysis. the exemption of the personal earn ings or tne aeoior iur uie wncut n i fnvAivon iiind nrineiple of public policy, for the state is vitally interested in the pnysicai ana sutiui welfare of that family. This bill deliberately proposes to give the wage earner's family only seventy-five per cent of what is neces sary for its support. Where is the other twentv-five per cent of what is necessary for that purpose to come from? It must come from some source or there will be hunger and want, and Kansas can not afford that or the evils that they bring in their train. To take twenty-five per cent of the personal earnings of the wage earner which are conc-eded to be absolutely necessary for the support of his family, simply means that the loaf of bread shall be twenty-five per cent smaller, the cloth ing twentv-five per cent more scant, nnd that there shall be twenty-five per cent less comfort in his home; and all this means a lowering of the standard of life in the home of a class who are larsie producers of wealth, and this standard the state should strive to raise rather than lower.

The- sale of binder or a mower often depends on the brand of whisky you use. accord ing to M. M. Ford of llushville. Neb., who testified before Special Examiner Robert S. Taylor when the Interna tional Harvester company began its defense in the government suit charg ing violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Ford, an implement dealer, declared the International company had not used coercion to force him to soil its lines exclusively. Thte local dealer, he declared, who made the sales was the man who showed himself to be a "good fellow" and that so long as his goods were standard he was ible to swing the business. C. V. Glazier of Pawnee City, Neb., who had been selling agricultural im plements for 32 years, declared his business was free from the influence of the International Harvester com pany and that he had not been the object of coercion. He said the farm er had gained much by the improve ments in harvesting machinery and that binders had been, reduced 60 per cent in price since they were first introduced. On cross-examination Glazier admit ted that most of the improvements and reduction in price came previous to formation of the International company.

The Minneapolis, Minn..

Mr. Hawkin son has recently completed three of the four movements of his quartet and the musical public has yet to hear it performed, a privilege -which the composer is to accord in the near fu ture. The composer is a violinist of talent, head of the violin department of Minnesota college and a pupil of Maximilian Dick. Mr. Dick says of the quartet that it is "a remarkably fine piece of work to have been writ ten by so young a man: it is full of life and energy and musical through out. It is melodious and harmonically well constructed and the different parts are handled in a way that would do credit to a much older and more experienced writer." Xo lire Marshal for Missouri.

Rheumatism comes from weak, inac tive kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood, the poisonous waste matter and uric acid; and It is useless to rub on liniments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only pro longs the misery and can't possibly cure you. The only way to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new dis- covery, Croxone, does this because It I neutralizes and dissolves all thj pois i onous substances and uric acid that j lodge in the joints and muscles, to scratch and Irritate and cause rheu matism, and cleans out and strength ens the stopped-up, inactive kidneys, so they can filter all the poison from the blood, and drive it on and out of the system. Crozone is the most wonderful medi cine ever made for curing chronic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and blad der disorders. Tou will find it different from all other remedies. There Is nothing else on earth like it. It mat ters not how old you are, or how long you have suffered, it is practically im possible to take it into the human sys tem without results. Tou will find re lief from the first few doses, and you, will be surprised how quickly all your misery and suffering will end. An original package of Croxone costs but a trifle at any first-class drug store. All druggists are authorized to sell it on a positive money-back guar antee. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst backache or overcome urinary disorders. Adv. LOOK FOR 5,000.

WOMEN HOLD COURT. Fifteen Cases Disposed of in New Chicago Tribunal. Chicago, March 6. Fifteen cases were disposed of yesterday in "Judge" Mary H. Bartelme's court. It was the first day of the court, the attaches of which are all women, and Miss Bar telme expressed herself as highly, pleased with the results. Not a man is admitted to the court room where the hearings are limited to the cases of either wayward girls or those "who never had a chance." Miss Bartelme, was appointed by Judge Pinckney of the juvenile court to hear this class of cases, holding that many girls could more easily tell their stories to a woman than a man. Women probation officers acted as bailiff and there was a woman clerk of the court. "It is our hope to get justice for these girls, and judging from the first day's work, I think we will be success ful," Miss Bartelme said. IN pemefuTrjrsuit.

10 THE TOPEKA DAIT.Y STATE JOUJtNAIr THURSDAY EVENING- MARCH, 6, 1913- AMUNDSEN'S STORY. South Pole Explorer Lectured Auditorium. at "How I discovered the South Pole.' was Interestingly told Wednesday night at the Auditorium by CaptainRoald Amundsen, who placed the Norwegian flap at the southern extremity of the earth on December 14, 1911. The lec ture, which was given before an audience of five hundred persons, was Illustrated with lantern slides and mo tion pictures. Many of the slides were so colored as to produce wonderfully beautiful ef fects. Particularly fine were the sun Bets. The trip covered the period from August 9. 1910 to March 8. 1912. Only one of the many dogs taken on the trip was returned alive to Norway not long since. The southward voyage of the "Fram," the vessel which has the distinction of having traveled both farther south and farther north than any ocean craft, was described. At a point about 750 miles from the pole the vessel was blocked by ice. Provisions for two years to supply nine men and ninety Beven dogs were offloaded. Far distant from the ship winter quarters were established. A hut was nuilt In the snow, and In the course of the winter months the snow and ice buried the abode ten or twelve feet deep. It was in October, 1911, that the final dash for the pole was -made, ue pots were established along the way where provisions might De naa on in return trip. Five men made the actual trlD to the pole. The motion pictures showed the antics f seals whales and penguins. The latter which had never become ac quainted with human beings previous "bowed and scraped'' In an amusing fashion when approached by a mem ber of the party. It might be interesting to note that the "Fram" will be at San Francisco early next Bpring where provisions will be taken on board for a contemplated trip to the north pole WATCH KEPT ONWOMEN Keen Interest Displayed Elections. in London London, March 6. The keenest in terest was taken today in the triennial election for members of the London county council, not only because of the sharply divided opinion on muni cipal issues at stake but also because of threats or militant niaiasnm i. destroy the ballot papers. Special precautions were taken by the (police to prevent any interference with the ballot boxes by the women, many of whom are entitled to vote at muni cipal elections. The aperture through which the voting papers are dropped into the boxes was made very narrow and policemen were posted to keep a sharp lookout on every woman enter ing the booths. The pre-election cam paign was spirited. Many members of the cabinet took a prominent part on behalf of the progressive candidates. While the suffragists did not become very active in the fight, they advised all women voters against the progres sives, "because they have accepted the support- of a. government which re fused to enfranchise women for parlia mentary elections.' The progressive candidates responded to this attack by concentrating a tre mendous campaign in the last few hours before election telegraphing to thousands of electors at the last mo ment, and exhorting them to vote the progressive ticket. MADE GOOD RECORD. Wickersliam Reviews Work of His Department. Washington, March 6. George W. Wickersham. former attorney general of the United States, yesterday re turned to private citizenship, with a vacation in view to recuperate the en ergies he has spent In four years of record-breaking prosecutions of the trusts. He left the capital late yes terday for New York, whence he will go to San Francisco to sail on a world girdling trip March 15. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Wickersham, a native of this city, who has bean a prominent social light of the Taft ad ministration. The party will make a leisurely trip through Europe and Asia, returning in the fall. During his four years as the na tion's chief legal officer, Mr. Wicker sham filed 87 civil and criminal anti trust suits. The combined total of the Harrison. Cleveland. McKinley and Roosevelt administrations were 62 suits. The rttiring official ipointed not so much to the formidable number of cases be gun but rather to their quality. He regarded each as a justifiable attack under the Sherman law. Only in one instance, he said, has the government during the last four years lost a civil anti-trust suit and that was a small case in Hawaii instituted without knowledge of the department of jus tice. Many of these cases are now in process of trial, while a great num ber of investigations were turned over to James C. McReynolds, the new at torney general, for completion. Aslies by Parcel Post. Denver. March 6. "Here is a dead man," was the comment made by parcel post clerk here as he held ui to the view of his fellow clerks package nine inches square ami weighing seven pounds.
