TURNING POINT IN HISTORY Socialists Desperate for Man hood Suffrage. Revolution and Dynastic Trou ble Is Predicted. Brussels, April 10. Troops today oc cupied most of the great industrial cen ters of Belgium in preparntion for the general strike order for Monday when 800,000 or 400,000 men will quit work. In most of the cities, large crowds which gathered to watch the arrival of the troops, cheered the marching sol diers. To aid in preserving order, the so cialist strike leaders have offered to the authorities the services of special constables drawn from the socialist ranks. The socialists affirm that any outbreak of violence will delay their cause for half a generation. The strike is an attack on the present system of plural voting in Belgium, whereby citizens according to their station In life, have one, two or three votes. The strikers demand that all male citizens shall have one and only one vote. Under the present system every citi ren over 25 ars of age has one vote. Every citizen over 35 years of age, with one or more children and paying a dol lar or more In house tax has a supple mentary vote, as has also a citizen over 25 years who owns over $400 worth of real estate. Two supplementary votes are given to graduates of uni versities or men who hold office or are ex-office holders, no person has more than three votes and failure to vote Is a misdemeanor. In 1911 the total number of voters was 1.700.000 of whom 995,000 had one vote, 395,000 two votes and 310,000 three votes. Women and Children Protected. The first active move in pre paration for a great general strike to enforce the grant ot manhood suffrage in Belgium has been made. The Socialist party has sent out to the country many children of the BOO 000 or 400,000 workers who will lay down their tools Monday, April 14. It is expected that train service will rease or be greatly impeded after Sunday. Accordingly, the wives and children of hundreds of workmen are crossing the frontiers on every train, placing the noncombatants, as it were, In the safety of a neutral state. Offers of provisional homes abroad have arrived this week at the rate of 1,000 daily, and the directing commit tee of the strike has received 11,000 offers thus far, 6,000 from France, 4,000 from Holland and 1,000 from Ger many. Trade hf.s increased in all kinds of preserved foods, beans, rice and flour end the sales of illuminating oils and candles have tripled. Workmen Are determined. The Belgium movement appears to have been planned with extraordinary skill and care; the workers are deter mined and full of faith in the justice of their cause. The resources at their disposal are considerable, and they have the practical though unofficial support of the Liberals, none the less vigorous from being indirect. The proprietor of the Liberal news paper, the Petit Bleu, has formally -promised to pay $20,000 per week into the strike fund as long as the move ment lasts, and the strikers assert that they can hold out for six weeks. Man:.- Belgians believe that this strike will prove a turning point in the history of Belgium; that it will result in political changes of incalculable importance, and nonie even predict a revolution and tne reparation of the Walloon and Flemish provinces, or a dynnstic crisis. The gov ernment, faced with the serious problem meaning economic catastrophe for an in dustrial country like Belgium, has occu pied itself chiefly in making arrangements to repress disorder, which the Socialists eerlde. as they are determined that the strike shall be peaceful. The Socialist chiefs. Emil Vandervelde and Edouard Anzele. affirm that any violence which may occur will be provoked by the gov. eminent and not by them. FOUR BIG CHANGES Quartet of Constitutional Amendments in House. Direct Presidential Election Tenure of Federal Offices. Washington. April 10. Four const! tutional amendments were proposed today in the house. One by Represen tative Hobson. would provide direct election of president and vice presi dent; that candidates be nominated by direct primary and elected for a single term of seven years. Another by Representative Bartholdt would limit the tenure of office of the president to two terms of four vear each. Representative Kahn proposed a can Btitutional amendment giving congress power to grant, protect and regulate the exclusive right to adopt and ue trade marks.

Reservoir System as a Pre ventive Along Rivers. St. Louis, April 10. The National Drainage congress, which began a three days session here today, has for its chief work the preparation of a bill to be Introduced into the national con gress providing for a comprehensive plan for drainage and flood protection. A message from President Wilson was scheduled to be read at the opening session this morning. One faction of the congress will urge legislation for the appointment of a national drainage commission which shall center its ef forts on the reclamation of 70,000,000 acres of swamp and overflow land in the United States, the protection of the public health by the drainage of swamps and the prevention of floods by an adequate system of levees and storage reservoirs.

President Wilson has undertaken, with the as sistance of congress, to prevent future floods and their destructive conse quences by a plan to remove the Panama plant, force and machinery after the completion of the canal and establish it in the flood districts of the middle west. With this plant it is cal culated that great levees and dikes can be built to anticipate nature. The immense cost of such a plan is to be met by special apropriation of funds by congress and by the issuance of what would be known as flood bonds. Representative v Fitzgerald, chairman of the house appropriation committee, is worried lest the flood relief bills all pass congress. He claims if they do, every dollar in the national treasury would be exhausted, so great is the sympathy for the flood suffer- FLURRIES OF SNOW. General All Over State Down to Freezing Tonight. The weather bureau and the railroads report that snow flurries and light showers have occurred in Kansas in the last 24 hours. There was a light flurry of snow in Topeka early this morning, but the entire amount of pre cipation from 2 o'clock Wednesday to 10 o'clock today was but .01 of an inch. The mercury was dangerously near the freezing point this morning 35 degrees. Cloudy weather tonight with snow flurries in the northeastern portion of the state is the forecast. The tem peratures are expected to be in the vicinity of the freezing mark, although the mercury will probably not slip down to a mark low enough to injure the fruit. Friday will be generally fair according to the weather man, and the temperatures will be higher in western portion of the state. The Santa Fe reported this morning that the sky is clearing today In north ern Texas; it is hoped that the clear weather will work this way. No alarm need be felt in regard to a possible rise in the river. The greater part of the moisture that has fallen in the last week has sunk Into the ground. However, a slight rise in the river has been noted in the last 24 hours three-quarters of a .foot but the stage of the Kaw is about normal for this time of the year. The stage is seven feet and six inches. If there is not a warming up soon some of the seed that has already been planted by farmers and gardeners will be in danger of rotting. Temperatures 14 Below Normal Today There has been little moderation ln temperature today. A damp and dis agreeable ".vind has been blowing from the northwest at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. The temperatures have averaged fourteen degrees below nor mal for this date. The report issued by the local weather department today covering the twenty-four hours ending at seven o'clock today reads: "It was snowing this morning at seven o'clock over nearly all the north ern half of Kansas and at Wichita and raining In northwestern Missouri, with cloudy weather over the rest of the district. The precipitation in Kan sas during the past 24 hours was gen erally light, but was moderately heavy in western Missouri. Temperatures were below freezing last night in west ern Kansas and freezing in the north central portion, but safely above over therest of the district."

A dual de bate has been arranged for some time in May between the Agricultural col lege at Manhattan and the State Nor mal. The question will be some phase of the Referendum and Recall. This will be the first time the two state schools have ever met in debate. HAVE WORKING MAJORITY Democrats Demonstrate They Can Support Underwood. Battle to Eliminate the Free Sugar Provision. Washington, April 10. The senate finance committee has determined not to have hearings on the tariff bill. Manufacturers in many lines of indus try have appealed to Chairman Sim mons and other members of the com mittee for an opportunity to present ar guments against the rates proposed in the Underwood bill. The committee members take the po sition, however, that the hearings con ducted by the house ways and means committee in January were sufficiently thorough to cover practically all the point the senate needs in connection with the tariff revision. It is believed the tariff bill, after it finally reaches the senate will not remain In the com mittee more than ten days. Some ex pert testimony and some new informa tion on certain disputed ideas may be obtained by the committee but no open hearings will be held. The senate was not In session today and members continued the study of the tariff bill in private. Republican forces are preparing for a united at tack on the Democrat revision which they allege destroys all protection to many American Industries and is prac tically a free trade bill. It is expect ed a conference of Republicans will be held within a few days to discuss some of the more drastic features of the proposed Democrat revision. House Democrats met in caucus to day to resume consideration of the tar iff bill. The chemical schedule having been approved exactly as written by the ways and means committee the earthen and glassware schedule was next. Considerable opposition to some of the custom pottery came from New Jersey and Pennsylvania members. Working Majority of Democrats. The house Democrats have demon strated that a good working majority is supporting Chairman Underwood and the ways and means committee and this seems to Indicate that the caucus will eventually ratify the schedules as presented, including free raw wool and the 25 per cent cut In sugar with the provision for sugar going on the free list in three years. There are assurances, however, that such a result will not be accomplished without a fight. Opposition forces are preparing to struggle for a duty on raw wool and to eliminate the free su gar provision. Opponents of free wool are making the argument that the party went to the people in the last election com mitted to a duty on raw wool, as based on the wool schedule provided in congress and vetoed by the president. They declare the house when it agreed to a duty of 33 and later accepted 29 per cent in conference went on record before the public. Opponents of the textile shedule had a test vote ln (Continued on Page Two.) WHEN TOPEKA GETS ITS LADY POLICE M J-ML. i sale fJtrf Do Y00 H MAD SUCH X LET THAT J LOVELY EYES.

Insurance Companies May Withdraw From State. Jefferson City, Mo., April 10. State Insurance Commissioner Revelle said a serious problem will face the property owners of Kansas City, St. Louis, and other large cities of Missouri if the fire insurance companies withdraw from Missouri because they oippose the anti-trust provisions of the insurance law enacted at the last legislature. The fears of the insurance companies as to the workings of the law, he said, are groundless. "If the companies do business on a competitive basis," said Commissioner Revelle, "and do not form combina tions to fix rates they need have no fear of the Missourians in law, but if agencies are established' for the purpose of increasing rates or prepar ing agreements, they will- face prose cution." If the larger companies withdraw from the state, said the commissioner, i it is doubtful if the small companies can assume the risks in the large cities. Property owners, he added, could form reciprocal insurance exchanges and the commissioner would license such exchanges if they were backed by the independent domestic company and the small foreign companies that have not threatened to leave the state. Attorney General Barker said today that twenty-five independent com panies had notified him that if the larger companies leave the state, they will handle all the business. HE SPEAKS OF HIS DEATH Prelate Mo Longer Jokes About His Illness. Heart Failure May Result From Present Condition. Rome, April 10. At noon today the condition of the pope was much bet ter but the weakness of his heart and his weak pulse were still causing anxiety. The doctors permitted him to eat an egg with broth but the patient was able to take it only with difficulty. The condition of the pope was found to be practically unchanged when his physician. Professor Ettore Marchia fava, paid the pontiff an early morning visit today. He had passed a com paratively calm night disturbed only by occasional fits of coughing and periods of great perspiration. Pope Rejoiced at Sunshine. The pope rejoiced to see the morn ing bring a change in the weather. A splendid sun streamed through the ample window of his bedroom. Al though this seemed to encourage his spirits he continued to feel nauseated and averse to taking nourishment, notwithstanding the efforts made by his own cook, Stefano Inchiostro, an old servant who came with him from Venice. Inchoistro keeps a special cow in the Vatican garden for his master's milk. Professor Marchiafava said after his morning visit that he consid ered the unchanged conditions as auguring well for a decided turn to the better. The only apprehension is heart weakness. In all the churches of Rome this morning special prayers were offered for the recovery of the pope. The faithful recited with the clergy the Latin "oremus pro pontefici nostro" "let us pray for our pontiff Pius." Situation as Grave. Dr. Andrea Amici declared that he hopes by next week Pius X will be con valescent. An entirely contrary opinion, however, is expressed by some of those immediately around the pope who depict the situation as grave. They assert that an examination made by a specialist showed the presence of from ten to twelve degrees of albumen. The sisters and niece of the pope remained with him this morning from 7:30 to 10:30. Just before 11 o'clock Cardinal Merry Del Val, papal secretary of state, entered the bed chamber. The pope said in reply to the cardinal's In quiry that he felt better. He then spoke about the pilgrims who had come to the Vatican from Venice and expressed his regret that he would be unable to see them. Speakes of Approaching End. The Tribuna tonight prints an inter view with a prominent prelate in which he is quoted as saying that the pope no longer Jokes about his illness, but resignedly speaks of his approaching end. His holiness is known to be worrying considerably over the fact that there are a large number of pilgrims either in Rome or on their way here and that all audiences during the month (Continued on Page Two.)

Sawyer, traf ficking in fictitious equities In mer cantile stocks will stop in Kansas. Un der the ruling, which holds that the pursuit Is In conflict with amend ments to the blue sky law, prosecu tions will be pushed if the old system is not abolished. Hundreds of people have been de frauded, it Is claimed, through the wholesale practice of selling equities in grocery and mercantile stocks. Be cause of this illegal practice, which managed to pull through the loop holes of the old law in Kansas, the 1913 legislature amended the blue sky act to catch the men who have reaped thousands of dollars annual profit through the system of selling ques tionable equities.

Minor Offices at City Hall Would Be Abolished. Tt Is rumored at the city hall today that C H. Kuta, chairman of the civil service commission, will be removed from office on account of his activi ties ln taking the board of city com missioners to task for disregarding the law concerning appointments. The commission law says that a member of the civil service board can be eject ed from office by a vote of four of the five commissioners. The officials at the city hall this afternoon refused to discuss the report and Kutz declared that he had heard nothing of it. It Is simply a rumor resulting from dissat isfaction over Kutz's action yesterday ln causing the rescinding of five ap pointments made by the new city fa thers. This movement on the part of the chairman caused much surprise and some Indignation. One of the commissioners was heard to say that he intended working for the removal of Mr. Kutz. Kutz was elected by the old board, his term to expire ln 1915. H. P. Miller, ex-commissioner of waterworks, who was at the city hall this morning, expressed himself aa de cidedly Indignant over the ejection of the civil service officers appointed by the former commission. Co Iran a Busy Man. Mayor Cofran's desk la still flooded with letters desiring appointment and filing complaints. Several of them deplored the burning of trash on asphalt pavement. There Is an ordi nance prohibiting this, and Mayor Cofran intends to enforce It. Commissioner Bone was absent from the city hall this morning, fulfilling his first official duty as president of the board of city commissioners. In the name of Mayor Cofran he welcom ed the state bankers in Representative hall and presented them, figuratively speaking, with the keys of the city. New City Office Suggested. The most important act performed ln the commission chamber was first reading of the ordinance providing for the creation of the office of commis-i sioner of health and sanitation. The ordinance was drawn up last night by Attorney Ralston at the suggestion a! f Park Commissioner Porter. The new officer is to be appointed by majority vote, his term of office to expire with the term of office of the board ap pointing him. He will receive $1.6y a year, will have charge of the city crematory, collection and burning of garbage, sanitary policemen, cutting of weeds, and the working forces in the public parks. r The first applicant for the position was Richard Wilson, defeated ln the primaries for commissioner of parkA"' and public property. The ordinance" will be presented for second reading tomorrow, and the appointment made the first of next week. Porter Says He Needs Help. "I consider it an important posi tion," declared Commissioner Porter today, "I am obliged to remain ln the office so continually that I need someone to represent me at the crema tory and in the parks." Mr. Porter already has begun hla detailed Investigation of the crematory. It is his plan to present an ordinance whereby the officers at the crematory are appointed by the entire board. James Brain, the new foreman, began duty this morning. Commissioner Por ter Intends to systematize the work by bringing it under the Jurisdiction of the commission rather than the di rection of one man. Conduct Sewer Investigation. K. A. Austin appeared before th commission this morning to ask for an official investigation of the city sew ers. "I understand there Is no clause In the statute book making It the duty of any department of the city to look after the conditions aa to the health and sanitation of the sewers," said he, "the commissioners cannot be ex pected to periodically Investigate them. The result Is a disgrace and menace to many neighborhoods ln town." Commissioners Tandy and Porter will investigate the affair, which Mr. Aus tin Intends to present to the commis sion in writing. Although no definite action was ta ken concerning the purchase of a pul motor, mayor and commissioners are in favor of having it. The fireman's hel met and other devices were displayed. The pulmotor has been adopted by the United States In connection with gov ernment mines, and Is able to resusci tate a man who has been unconscious for 60 minutes. The commission adjourned to meet tomorrow at 8 o'clock. MILLERS ARE SCARED. Entire Minneapolis Ball Club Threat ened With Smallpox- Minneapolis, April 10.

WAR STILL IS A POSSIBILITY Secretary pf Jfary "Says Conn try Should Be Ready. New Administration Views Are Aired at Washington.- Washington, April 10. An efficient navy, large and powerful, enough to maintain the nation's prestige, is the policy of the new" administration as outlined today lit the ;Navy League of the United States in its eighth conven tion by Franklin D. Roosevelt, assist ant secretary of the navy. His state ment created enthusiasm. It was re garded as directly reflecting: the views of Secretary Daniels and the "White House. Mr. Roosevelt called on the members of the league to aid in popu larizing: the naval establishment and declared that as effective work could be done outside the navy as within It. He dwelt on the need for sup port of the secretary of the navy and the administration's naval policy. "This is not a question of war or peace," he said. "I take it there are as manv advocates of arbitration and international peace in the navy as in any other profession. "But we are confronted with a con dition the fact that our nation has decided in the past to have a fleet and that war still is a possibility." Young Men in Navy. Mr. Roosevelt told of the thousands of men engaged in manning the ships and in attending to the mechanical work of the departmet ashore. He said the service was being developed with the intention of making it a factor for the national good. "We want the country to feel that in the maintaining of a fighting force of the highest efficiency," he said, "we are at the same time educating thousands of young men to be better citizens and to be in a position to help themselves when they leave the service. We want to give them indus trial education under ideal conditions. Most of all, we will help create a mercantile marine owned by us and run by us." The convention was devoted to dis cussion today, but tomorrow the dele gates, of which there are several hun- dred, entertained at a special drill at Fort Myers. The convention will end tonight with a banquet in honor of Secretary Daniels, at which one of the principal guests will be Vice President Marshall. NOT IN SYMPATHY Democrats Will Reorganize Entire Customs Service. Afraid Officials Will Not Sup port Administration. Washington, April 10. Reorganiza tion of the personnel of the customs service by the Democratic administra tion has been started by Secretary McAdoo, of the treasury department. He has taken steps to displace all the high customs officials at the port of Philadelphia. In announcing the ac tion, the secretary said: "It is considered vital in the inter ests of the people that new blood shall be brought into the service." Mr. McAdoo asked for the resignation of Collector Chester W. Hill, Surveyor Perry M. Lytle, Appraiser Fred P. Vin cent and Naval Officer Walter T. Mer rick, all of Philadelphia. He officially announced that the resignations were requested "not because charges had been preferred against them, but be cause it is deemed essential that these places shall be filled by persons who are in sympathy with the purpose and policies of the administration and also because it is considered vital in the in terest of the public that new blood shall be brought into the service." Treasury officials contented them selves with the brief statement which was the first Indication that a sweeping reorganization of the customs service was about to begin. Officials were reticent as to passible future moves in this direction, but it is known that the secretary has his eyes on the Boston office, where an alleged customs scandal Is being unearthed. Close at tention is being given to the general question of reorganization in connec tion with the radical re-districting of the service on July 1. LOVER MURDERS BOY. Mystery of German School Children Suicides Is Revealed.. Berlin, April 10. What was sup posed to have been one of the frequent suicides of German school boys had turned out in the case of Ernest Lie maun, a lad of 15, to have been a murder by a servant maid's lover who was bent on plunder. The. lad's body was found hanging in his home in October last during the absence of his parents. The police came to the con clusion that he had followed the ex ample of so many other boys in Ger many and committed suieide. The mother, however, was not satis fied with this explanation and em ployed private detectives to watch the maid, who today confessed that the boy was murdered by her lever, a burglar. HE MUST DIE FIRST. Only Chance for Panama Engineer to Have Portrait on Bonds. Washington, April 10. New Demo cratic officials of the treasury depart ment almost succeeded in conferring the flr?t governmental honor upon Col. George W. Goethals in recognition of his success in building the Panama ca nal. They had decided to order the engraving of his portrait upon Pana ma canal bonds, when In the nick of time, it was discovered that the law forbids placing the picture of any lviing person upon the currencyor gov ernmental bonds. The chief engineer of the canal would have to die to re ceive such a distinction.. The portrait was to have been plac ed upon the new $10,690 registered Panama canal bonds of 1961, a de nomination which the treasury depart ment decided to issue for the sake of convenience. Previously these bonds have been issued in denominations of only $1,000 and under. CITY GAINS POINT School Children 3Iore Healthy Than, in Country. Ruralist Affected With Un avoidable Ills, Says Expert. Washington, April 10. Country school children generally are less healthy than children in the city schools, according to the United States bureau 'of education which bases its conclusion largely on investigations made by Dr. Ernest B. Hoag into rural educational conditions in Minnesota Failure to teach the children in the "Little Red School House" even the rudiments of hygiene and the ignor ance of the average country teacher along this line are held to be the causes. Poor ventilation of the country school is a large factor in undermin ing the health of the children, in Dr. Hoag's opinion. As a result of this, he says, the children generally are af flicted with headache, earache and other ailments of a completely avoid able nature. In his investigation Dr. Hoag found that 80 per cent of the children in country schools drank tea and coffee; that 4 0 per cent of them suffered from almost constant toothache and that from 19 to 23 per cent had frequent headaches. "When I ask those who drink coffee to stand up," says Dr. Hoag, "nearly all the children arise. When I ask how many have a toothbrush nearly all say they have, but when I ask, 'Did you use it this morning?' there is little response." Dr. Hoag advocated medical in spection and the training of teachers in hygiene and its practices. UNCLE SAM TOAID, (Continued from Page One.) Imperative and prompt measures to prevent floods along the Ohio and Mis sissippi rivers and their triDutanes were urged by Isham Randolph in an address before the congress today. Mr. Randolph held that the regulation of the flood waters necessarily was a fed eral duty and he suggested that event ually a new member of the cabinet, to be at the head of a federal department of public works, would .be necessary. He said in part: "The president of -the United States in a telegram to our executive chair man says: 'The calamity in Ohio and Indiana makes clearer than ever be fore the imperative and immediate necessity for a comprehensive and systematic plan for drainage and flood control.' "In his reply, our executive chair man with a boldness born of faith, says: 'The national drainage congress accepts the responsibility of present ing to the congress of the United States a plan to alleviate and prevent the recurrence of loss of life and prop erty.' Barns a Nation's Gratitude. "The men, the group of men, the organization that fulfills this promise of our chairman will earn a nation's gratitude. Where, then, is the one man destined to lead this people away from the power of such floods as have devastated vast acres of our fair land and taken tribute of life, man's dear est possession. No such leader has vet found recognition. Nor do I be lieve that one human mind so grasps the topography of the United States as to develop from his knowledge a comprehensive, effective solution of the problem of flood prevention. We have reached a time when we must take counsel together. "Owing to its conformation, there are vast stretches of our country where an increase of channel capacity affords the only method of preventing flood damage. There are floods of such vast volume, the only method of keeping the waters from spreading over vast areas is to build on each side of the stream levees so far apart and of such height that the necessarily heightened flood plane will not over Inn them. "T have been told that the estimated cost of a reservoir system which would hi a flood oreventative in the Alle gheny and Monongahela rivers would be $20,000,000. Cost of Reservoir System. Suppose that system to be extended to West Virginia and Kentucky at a cost of $20,000,000 more would it not be a good Investment? Not only would this expenditure save life and property along the Ohio river, but it would have like results along me Mis sissippi below Cairo, for with the hold ing back of excess floods from the Ohio, the flood plane or tne missis frinnl would be lowered. "This is not the whole problem; it is but the problem of one section of the country; a problem not for state solution but for the national govern ment. "This great government needs a new department, the cabinet a new port folio. We need a national department of public works and its executive head should be a member of the president's cabinet. This belief does not minimize my appreciation of the army engineer. But West Point does not graduate men enough to supply the engineering needs of a country like ours. An examina tion of the roster of army engineers in active service astonished me. Their number and rank is as follows: "One chief of engineers with rank of brigadier generals. 12 colonels, 19 lieutenant colonels, 39 majors, 51 cap tains, 47 first lieutenants and 19 second lieutenants. All told 118 men. Numer ically not enough to conduct the engi neering operations of the Pennsylvania railroad. Of these, eleven are engaged in building the Panama canal, two are In the Philippines, one in Hawaii and 14 are detailed as instructors at West Point and other training schools. "This leaves 90 men to cope with all the requirements of- these United States and its territorial possessions." Suggest Candidates. Governor Major, in welcoming the delegates in behalf of the state, sug gested David R- Francis as a man well qualified to head the proposed depart ment of public works. Mr.' Francis, who-is president of the congress, in re ply, suggested Colonel George W. Goethals, builder of the Panama canal. A FINEJNCREASE State Banks Report Shows De posits 4 Millions More. This Breaks All Records Kansas Bank Showing. for In the reports of 908 state banks for March 11, is shown an increase of near ly four million dollars more in indi vidual and time deposits than was ever reported before in this state. These 908 state institutions showed $113,742, 844.26, or $8,200,000 more than was re ported in the call for December 4; and four million greater than ever before shown in any official call on the state banks. The report issued by Bank Com missioner Charles N. Sawyer shows loans and discounts in the amount of $94,036,429.63, or an increase of $1,600,000 since December. Cash and sight ex change has to its credit a gain of $6, 300,000; while the reports show that the item covering re-discounts and bills payable has been reduced over a half million dollars since the December statement. The banks also show seven and a half million in surplus and two million in undivided profits. In almost every detail the report shows the state banks of Kansas to be in stronger con dition than at any time in the history of the state.

(Continued from Page One-1 Investigations at the hands of the bank commissioners office have re vealed frequent cases where men and women have been the victims of a sys tematic fraud practiced in every sec tion of the state. The method or sen ing these equities showed the clever handiwork of some mighty competent lawyers, who devisSd a scheme which has for several years skimmed by the Drovisions of the Kansas statutes and allowed the operators to continue their business without fear or trembling. Now the practice will stop, or the re cent amendments to the blue sky law will result in the wholesale arrest of men who have stood behind the scheme. How They Did It. Under the system practiced in Kan sas, real estate dealers ana otner Dersons were permitted to buy certi ficates conveying equities in stocks of merchandise. For these certificates, the price ranged from fifty cents to ten dollars. Invariably the certifi cates were drawn for sums of $1,000 each. On their face the certificates looked nerfectlv harmless. In fact a silver tongued land agent made them look like a draft on the sub-treasury. That the certificate might have ev erv aoDearance of genuineness, there was usually endorsed on the back of the certificate a payment for 7 50. This left a $250 equity in the stock of more or less mythical merchandise, Armed with a bundle of these certifi cates, the unscrupulous one went forth to trade. And he usually sue ceeded. For what farmer has not dreamed of some day owning a dry goods, hardware or grocery store? Usually the person with a small piece of property to trade or sell was the victim of the mercantile graft. Probably the victim owned a plot of land worth $2,000. He wanted to sell for cash. The man with the stock certificates agreed on a price. But ho explained that he didn't have that amount of ready cash. Would the vie tim accept say half cash and a gilt edged investment in a big stock of groceries? Possibly. So the certi ficates were produced. There were say four of them. Each showed a $1,000 stock with a $750 payment on each. As the little farmer thinks it over, the gent with the certificates explains how his friend Jones bought this stock, paid three-fourths the value and in the face of financial reverses. was compelled to sacrifice his great bargain. It looked good. Usually the farmer bit and instead of receiving a cash balance on his farm, found that he had deeded the farm and assumed additional liabilities. Even Gave Invoices. If the man with a farm was a bit skeptical, the accommodating trader promptly produced invoices of the stock. And there was another evi dence of cleverness. The trader point ed out to the farmer the fact that he had bought whole crates of canned corn, canned peaches and apples, soap and prunes at real wholesale prices which was the real truth. But the farmer's eyes were kept glued to those prices of prunes and apples. His at tention was never called to a lot of other things on the invoice, such as knives and forks and other articles that go to complete the stock of a general store. Not until the stock is transferred does the farmer with an ambition to engage in mercantile busi ness find that while he has bought some things at real wholesale prices, that he has bought a great deal more at a price far in advance of whole sale lists. For years this practice has been worked in ansas. Perhaps that ex plains why many new faces have ap peared in the mercantile business in this state. After the farmer once ac cumulates one of these lists of mer chandise, there is nothing to do but to slip it to some friend or other victim or to open shop and .dispose of the wares to the general public at the best possible prices. It was this practice that attracted the attention of Bank Commissioner Sawyer even before he entered on the duties of his present office. So with the legislature working to make new laws. Sawyer suggested a number of changes to the blue sky act. And one of these amendments will legislate out of business the men who have follow ed the trafficking of fictitious equities i among Kansas property- owners. REAL START TODAY.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr THURSDAY EVENING- APRIL 10, 1913- 3 RAILR0AD NEWS Kail Lines Talking of Elimi nating Free Transportation. Humor in State Journal Has Aroused Press of Country. LAY IT TO FULUM BILLS St. Louis and Chicago Papers Blame Drastic Legislation. Other Items of Interesf. Ia the Traffic World. The announcement in the State Jour nal a few days ago to the effect that the Rook Inland and Santa Fe railroad officials in Topeka were talk ing; of a proposed plan to abolish all free transportation to employees has been taken up by railway officials and heads and throughout the press of the country. The reports from the east State that the action of the railways is general over the country and is a result of the full crew agitation be fore the legislatures. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Chicago livening Post today print reports from these two large railway centers. The articles follow; St. Louis Olooe-Dei.iocrat: Issuance of free transportation to approximately 8.300.000 persons throughout the Uni ted States may be eliminated by the railroads as a result of the present agitation in favor of full-crew bills in arious parts of the country. General managers of railroads in Colorado an nounced recently that if a full-crew bill, now pending in the legislature of that state, is enacted into law there will be no more passes furnished to employees or members of their fami lies. The contention Is made that full crew legislation is being promoted by the employees, that it tends to in crease the operating expenses of the companies; that in order to meet these Increased expenses they must make savi.igs in other directions, and that the most feasible way to make them would be to curtail free transporta tion. In commenting on the subject, the president of one of the large roads eaid yesterday: "The effect of full crew legislation is to make it neces sary to employ more men. and there by to increase operating expenses. The net revenues of most railways are not large enough to justify increases in ex penses In some directions which are not accompanied by reductions in ex penses in other directions. The elim ination of the issuance of free trans portation to employees and their fami lies seems the most feasible and sat isfactory method of meeting the situa tion." Chicago Post: The complete aboli tion of railroad passes of all classes permissible under the interstate com merce law and under state laws may be the result of the movement in "full crew- legislation and other burdens being laid upon the railroads in va rious parts of the country. This ac tion, if adopted, will be made to in clude the free transportation of rail road employees and members of then families. It is estimated that 8.500.000 persons throughout the country are the beneficiaries of free passes on railroads, and all of those will be eliminated if concerted action is taken by the rail load managements. The contention of the railroads is that recent legislation ana runner threatened legislation will so add to the operating expenses of the roads that savings must be made in other directions, and that one ot these meth ods will be to curtail free transporta tion. It is also contended that as em ployees of the roads are largely re sponsible for the enactment of the laws which will increase the cost of run ring the roads, they will have to help In making up the deficit by foregoing the pass privilege. Commenting on the Fituation an official of one of the large roads says: "The ertect of the 'full-crew' and other legislation is to greatly and un necessarily increase the operating ex pense of the companies. The net reve nue of most railroads is not large enough to justify this added increase w ithout economizing in other direc tions. The elimination of free trans portation to employees and their fam ilies seems t" be one feasible method of meeting the situation." ficial is to pull down a salary ot $18 000 a year. Such is the information of which railroad men are possessed and it comes from sources that are undoubtedly authentic. President H. U. Mudge of the Rock Island is credited with having made the inducing offer to Morse which re sulted in his resignation effective March 15, and the road gets a most efficient engineer. He is secured for the purpose of running the Rock Island's survey extending its line to the Pacific coast, to what terminal is not yet known, but rumor places it across the Imperial valley to San. Diego. OFFICIAL. CHANGES ANNOFNC'El. Dotvling of Santa Fe Promoted to Assistant SujK-rintendent. E. Dowling, for two years on the New Mexico division of the Santa Fe, has been promoted to be assistant superintendent of the western division, headquarters at Dodge City.

Sap Rocker's Great Pitching, as Usual, All in Vain. EMPLOYEES FIGHT CREW BILL. Three-Brakeiiien Clause in Missouri Law Not Popular. Jefferson City, Mo., April 10. The railroad officials and negro porter have joined hands in a fight upon the "full crew" bill, which requires three brakemen upon every freight train of forty cars or more and a brakeman and a flagman upon every mail or passenger train of more than three cars. The negro porters are afraid if this bill becomes a law that they will be discharged and their salaries ap plied upon the extra flagmen. The porters have employed former Senat.T Sam Major of Fayette to make an ar gument against the bill for them next Saturday. McCREA ESTATE TO THE FAMILY". President of Pennsylvania Also Pro vides for Servants. Philadelphia, April 10. An estate of "$50,000 and upwards" was disposed of in the will of James MeCrea, former president of the Pennsylvania Rail road company, who died recently. The will was admitted to probate at Nor ristown. Pa., and nearly all of it was given to the McCrea family. Ser vants whose names are mentioned in the document "are to be kept in com fort as long as they live." Brooklyn, April 10. Philadelphia beat Brooklyn in the special opening game of the National league season, which marked the formal occupation of Eb bets field. The cold, raw wind kept the attendance down, but did not af fect the players, who put up a remark able battle. Both Seaton and Rucker pitched brilliant ball, the former just shading the noted southpaw in a 1 to 0 shutout. Benny Meyer, the heavy hitting re cruit from Toronto, lost the game for Rucker in the first inning. With one out, Knabe doubled to right. Meyer muffed Lobert's foul in the sun field, but Stengel overcame this error by making a sensational catch of a long fly from the same batter. Then Meyer muffed Magee's fly, letting Knabe in with the only run of the contest. Stengel added further to his reputa tion by grabbing Dolan's single and cutting off Magee by a great throw to the plate. Neither side was able t score there after. Rucker was taken out in the eighth. Ragon pitched the last inning and showed good form. Sore: PHILADKLPHIA. Players AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

C, April 10. Re newing a quarrel which began here last Saturday, Ty Cobb, the well known baseball player and Rutledge Osborne, a member of the Wof ford college team of this city, engaged in a rough and tumble fight in a Green ville hotel bedroom last night. Os borne came off second best, but as serted tonight that three of Cobbs players held him while Ty kicked him. The friends of the "Georgia Peach" say that Osborne took offense at a fancied insult, refused to accept, an apology, insisted on a fight and that I Cobb, in sheer self defense, took Os borne to the room and gave him a spanking. Cobb's team of barnstormers played Wofford on Saturday. As Osborne was coaching on the third base line, Cobb, who was pitching, made a re mark which but for the interference of the other players would have pre cipitated a fight there and then. The two men chanced to meet yes terday in Greenville. 0 32 1 6 1 MAYBE; MAYBE NOT. Totals 30 I 8 27 15 BROOKLYN. Players AB. R. H. PO.

The bad weather has caused the Kaws to do nothing but loaf for two days, and it is just at the time when they need work. It is hoped that they can get back to work soon, and get in condition for the rirst game on the schedule. Snapp appears to have it. Snapp puts the snap on the infield when he is work ing and if he could hit as well as he can field a ball well the Western league couldn't hold him. But then, who ever saw a strawberry blonde who wasn t good Gene Conhreham will get revenge this season. The big fellow has got more confidence than money and he had every thing else last year. Some of the batters who beat him all over the last season, will not fatten their batting averages this season.

Lincoln News: The Topeka fans are getting over their attack of faint-hearted-ness brought on by the defeat of the Kaws last Saturday by the yanningans of the Kansas City BIooz. The Kaws came back to life Sunday and whaled the same yanningans to- the measure of 18 to 6. Polly McLarry, who one Topeka paper mistakenly says nlavert with Omaha, last fall, collected a cluster of three hits, said cluster of three including a doublo and a homer. The bull sign at Topeka isn't a great distance from the home station. We shudder for that sign with Polly 0.1 the premises. Polly was with our Ante lopes for the final three weeks of the 1912 campaign and during that short period twice thumped 'the Durham advertise ment, pocketing a round one hundred ducats as a result of his vigorous hit ting. t Joe Schimlnoskl, who was last year in the Nebraska league, will this year be with Kewanee in the Central association, where he will play under the name of Sci.irm, a concession he makes to scorers. "After watching Joe Wood pitch in the world's series last fall I do not think he classes with Johnson and Walsh in the point of value to a team," says Christy Mathewson. "He is extremely brilliant, but cannot come back as soon as the oth er two. and has not the easy, free swing which means many years in the baseball service. He Is not the steady worke" that Johnson and Walsh are, either. He is more inclined to be nervous in the box, but he is still young and may overcome this. He is a wonderful pitcher, but I do not class him with Walsrs and Johnson. "I consider Jeff Tesreau of the Gaints to be one of the best pitchers in the Na tional league. He looks to me like a sec ond Ed Walsh with his great size and ability to work. I expect him to be the sensation of the league this year. Hen drix of Pittsburg is another great hurler, but he has not the stability of Tesreau and. therefore, is not liable to be as va uable to the club. "The National league, with Rucker and Marquard, surpasses the American when it comes to left handers. Besides these two Rixey of Philadelphia may break out into a wonderful star this season. He gave indications of doing this last sum mer. Plank appeared to be the best left hander in the American league last year. In the midst of the calamity of last week a report went around tha.t the Cen tral league would be forced out of busi ness by the disastrous effects of storms at Dayton, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute, with Evansville facing a flood condition, but there was no real basis for this gloomy outlook.

The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news rr anizatlon for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The newa is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. That Russian officer who committed suicide in an aeroplane simply could not wait. The "blue sky" laws are all right. But why not apply them to the political candidates? J. Pierpont Morgan did very little talking-. But why should he when he had J75.000.0O0 to do it for him? Mayor Harrison says Chicago has a reputation to maintain. But prob ably Chicago would rather forget it. A Pennsylvania judge says that many upright men get drunk. But not many drunken men get upright. Even though Chief Moore of the weather bureau has resigned, there are indications that he does not feel that way. If the British government is- ever going to let a lady starve herself to death at her own sweet will, now is a good time. Flirting may, indeed, Injure the prospect of votes for women, but it will stand a hand in procuring hus bands for women. In justice to Philadelphia be it said that a deaf and dumo man sat through a trial there as a juror, but was dis covered eventually. Still, if we had Mrs. Pankhurst to deal with in this country, her finish would be doubtless in some such place as Matteawan. Discoveries of coal in the Antarctic regions Is reported by returning ex plorers. It is something that certainly Is needed down there. What has become of the old-fashioned man who mentioned that the women did not want to vote and would not If they had a chance? The tariff reformers in congress seem inclined to put themselves in the way of pointing to. President "Wilson and saying: "He did it." "The latest thing is a girl with x ray eyes." Nothing new In that. Every man who gets home after midnight knows his wife has them. The cubist artists are probably safe against having their pictures declared Immoral. What worries them most is the difficulty In finding purchasers. "Do the women want to vote?" In quires the New Tork Times. Certain candidates in Topeka are in a position to give expert evidence on that point. Almost every paper in the country runs a picture of Mrs. Pankhurst and no two of them look alike. If some of them are correct likenesses, jail is the place for her. "White House regulation No. 23" has just been Issued. Still nearly everybody has considered that order No. U was the one which the office seekers don't like. The news that pretty much every body In Colorado has been riding on passes must awaken in many a mind memories of the good old pre Hepburnian days. Missouri D. A. R. have dedicated a monument to the pony express riders of 50 years ago. In 1963 nobody will be unveiling monuments to the rail road express companies of today A Pennsylvania man committed suicide while his wife was shopping. He should have waited and given his wife time to tell him how she bought something she didn't need for 99 cents that was worth SI. Probably every great disaster brings something beneficial In its train if one can only find it. The sinking of the Titanic caused ships to be made safer and to be provided with a sufficiency of lifeboats. Out of the Galveston flood grew the commission form of gov ernment. The annual report of the photograph ic trust shows net profits, after paying preferred dividends, of 113,629,105, equal to 69.81 per cent earned on 119,523,800 cornmon stock, as compared with 67.80 per cent earned on $19,512,300 previous year. Is there any way in which the tariff reformers can hit this one? NO LONGER A JOKE. After SO veara the Democrats of Kansas are now In a position to pick the best timber for candidates. Per haps they have been picking the best timber during their period of hiberna tion, but those candidates were heroes of an apparently lost cause, and mere ly lent their names to prevent the ticket from going by default. At present, a Democratic candidacy is neither a Joke nor an act of patriot ism. With a split In the hitherto rul ing party, the Democrats are in a fair way to reap some of the rewards that are due to persistence. During the next campaign. It Is probable that the Democratic party will put out a full ticket for the entire state, and fill It with the best Democratic material to be found. And when they do, accord ing to prevailing Democratic talk, James W. Orr of Atchison, leader of the 1913 house of representatives, will be launched as a candidate for con gressman from the First district. Many members of the last house which contained a good Democratic majority spoke favorably of Mr. Orr and his legal and legislative ability, and voiced a hope that he would enter a larger field of political activity. Mr. Orr has been an active not passive Democrat for many years, and the First district Democrats might look a long time for a better repre sentative of First district Democracy. WHAT'S IX A NAME? Boston is agitated by a proposition for the city to supply the Citizens with ice. The usual amount of opposition has appeared and the plan is objected to on the ground that It is Socialistic. This leads the Traveler to inquire where the duty of a municipality to its inhabitants begins and where It leaves off. Boston supplies its people with reading matter, baths, opportunities for recreation and physical training, music indoors and outdoors, as well as lectures on music, and for years it has furnished streets, sewers, lights, bridges and ferries, to say nothing of other municipal necessities and luxu ries. Ice is an absolute necessity. The strongeit opposition to the enlarge ment of municipal activities along rational lines is not unselfish, and the word "Socialism," with its variations, is a very popular one when selfish in terests are attempting to prevent mu nicipal progress and helpfulness. The time has passed when any large number of people can be frightened by a name. Municipal ownership and operation of public utilities has come to stay. The application to it of the word "Socialism" will not drive it out or prevent its extension. RISING TO AN EMERGENCY. A so-called paternal government so strongly condemned at times by some is a ve: handy institution at times as has beeii illustrated In the rpcent handling of the flood situation. The nation is fortunate, says The Journal of the American Medical asso ciation, in having as its chief execu tive a man who does not fear official red tape, moss-grown precedents or the opposition of the ignorant and fanati cal followers of fantastic cults, but who will calmly, fearlessly and sensibly place at the disposal of any stricken or afflicted community all the available resources of the government and of modern science for the prevention of disease and the saving of life. The recent situation caused by floods and storms was the first emergency to confront the new federal administra tion, still only a month old, yet there was no delay or lack of readiness to rise to the occasion. President Wilson promptly offered the help of the en tire country to the stricken communi ties. Tents, cots, blankets and food were ordered Into the storm-swept and flooded districts; in the most expedi tious manner possible. But the presi dent did more than this. Within twenty-four hours after the development of the floods in Ohio and Indiana, he di rected three steps to be taken, which, so far as we are aware, are unprece dented. Tet they were taken so quietly, and so much as a matter of course, that probably nine out often of those who read the dispatch from Washing, ton saw no significance in the orders which had been given. The first was that the crews and equipments from the life-saving sta tions on Lake Michigan and Lake Erie were ordered to proceed at once to the flooded districts to assist in saving lives. Like all simple but unprece dented acts, the common sense of this move commends itself at once to all. Boats were lacking, and the govern ment had them. The secortd was to direct the secre taries of the treasury and of war to send at once into the afflicted districts all of the available medical officers of the puMic health service and of the army. Government surgeons have been sent before to establish quarantine and to stamp out existing epidemics. But, so far as we know, this Is the first time that th health officers of. the federal government have been ordered into a region to prevent the breaking out of epidemics and disease. Again the quiet common sense and disregard of governmental red tape on ie part of the president must win the com mendation of every sensible citizen. The third thing the president did was to order ten thousand vaccine points and a thousand ampules of anti typhoid serum sent at once Into Ohio and Indiana for use in preventing epi demies of small-i ox and typhoid. Scenic Wonders in Utah. Cliff dwellings more than 1,000 years old and buildings of even great er age have been discovered In Utah, according to D. B. Miller, assistant supervisor of the general land office, who has been at the i.ead of a sur veying party in that state for the last ten months. "The cliff dwellings we found in Utah undoubtedly are many hundreds of years old," said Mr. Mi?ler. "They were doubtless built t by the Monte zuma Indians. These Indians also built on the mesa lands, and many in interesting structures were found be- neath the surface of these lands. In Utah are three natural bridges that are more wonderful than the nat ural bridge of Virginia. All are wider and two considerably higher than the Virginia bridge. One of these bridges has a span of more than 200 feet and the arch is more than 100 feet from the ground. It seems almost to have been mild hv man. White persons rarely have visited these wonders of nature. "The Navajo Indians In Utah are, -f course, well acquainted with all these thinars. The Navaios are essentially superstitious. They, do not mingle much with the whites and few of them speak English. When one is found who can speak English, it is pretty certain that he is a sharper. "My party went into Utah to survey the public lands early last April and remained there until October. During the entire time not a drop of rain fell, and it is curious that all the time we were In that country we were folllowed about by an old Navajo medicine wo man, who persisted in telling the In dians that so long as we stayed there no rain would come. We paid no at tention to her. of course, but we had to give her a thought when on the day we broke camp, within a few hours after we had left the Indian lands, a terrific storm arose that de luged the whole country. I- suppose that the old medicine woman now is looked upon by her companions as a supernatural creature." Washington Post. BY THE WAY BY HARVET PARSONS. Chicago gent smoked cigarette caught on fire, burned, ran into gaa Jet, flooded room with gas, then jump ed :nto filled bath tub. Result: demise of party of first part. Question: has the coroner decided whether It was the cigarette, fire, gas or water that re moved him from the tax list? Anti-cigarettists have a good case. According to evidence, the cigarette started the stampede that resulted in the other catastrophes, and the fact that a cigarette will not start a fire except in powder or a pile of match heads, will not detract from the force of an article in the anti-cigarette mag azine. President Wilson took two of the most effective methods of having con gress hear his message; first, he de livered it in person thus creating a sensational demand for his wares, and second, he made it short very snort. Be sure the fatted calf Is really fat and hog-tied in the stall before you try to make a noise like a prodigal son. Frequently the prod puts on his share of the oratorio only to find that the price of veal has quered the final act. Now that we have a dry town po liticallyit may be necessary to keep the white way illuminated until a la ter hour. No longer may the bibulous citizen who is "all -it up" lend his lustre to the dark, gloomy avenoo after the midnight hour, and the missionary cops who are to replace the patrol men now on the job, may get lost in the inky darkness. i NT It is always April fool's day, with a string across the .walk at every cor ner, for the unfortunate gink who spends his time in the pursuit of hap piness.

The easiest way to find real cut glass is to avoid the bargain counter. The color scheme of the Sixty-third congress is patriotic to an extreme; the white hair of Champ Clark, the red of the hair of Vic Murdock and whiskers of J Ham Lewis and the gen eral cerulean tint of the Republican minority, make a trl-color complete.

There is a good deal of rejoicing over the defeat of Billard for mayor of Topeka. but it is here precuctea says J. R. Burton, that his successor must hump himself in order to equal the record for clean and honest public administration that has characterized Billard's two terms in office. The following from the Emporia Gazette seems to indicate that even Walt Mason is growing pessimistic: "Some people insist that blue grass seed should be sowed in the fall, and others say it should be sowed in the spring, but It seems to make' no differ ence. The seed never grows, any how." The Lawrence Gazette sounds the following note of warning: "Some Kansas editors are nursing spots for scabs on their noses. They are mak ing all kinds of sport of the bagpipe as a musical instrument, carelessly ignoring the fact that sooner or later they will have to account to John MacDonald for their levity and lack of truthfulness." THE EVENING STORY Penny Darling. CBy Dorothy Blackmore.) She was the smallest freshman In the class and her real name was Penelope Elizabeth Darling, a name far too long for the stature of the young woman. "Really, Penny, we flatter you by that epithet," one. of the boys once said to her; "you're no bigger than a Canadian five cent piece a penny's too ambitious for you!" But Penny had tossed her curls at him and continued to tangle herself up in the hearts of the college boys with whom she came in daily con tact. "She's little but oh, my!" more than one of them had quoted with a sigh. Coe college was a co-educational institute and in this as in all colleges the freshmen and sophomores were at daggers' points from the beginning of the term until the end. And Penny Darling was as loyal a little freshman as the college ever had. The tilt of her dark curly head and the lofty glance of her brown eyes as she passed a mere sophomore on the campus or elsewhere w;ere worthy of an ac cress. The night of the freshman class or ganization meeting Penny dressed with unusual care and pinned back her curls as severely as she could in order to look dignified and scholarly. For be it known that Penny had aspirations of her own; she wanted to be class president. She was popu lar and clever enough for the office but -the members of the class teasing ly told her it would look undignified to see the president in a high chair. At which remark, though it was half in jest. Penny has become discour aged. As she tripped down the softly car peted stairs of Wilton Hall and out of the great front door to cross the campus to the classroom In which the meeting was to be held, she was hum ming airily, but her hands were cold and she felt a nervousness unusual with her. Penny had hardly set foot on the gravel of the path at the foot of the dormitory steps when she was lifted bodily by two boys, who carried her, basket-wise, on their hands, and ran with her across the campus to where a limousine was standing. Opening the door the boys put her gently in side and stepped in beside her telling the man at the front to go ahead. "You're very well behaved for a freshman," one of the boys ventured, and Penny thought she recognized his voice. "Isn't she? and such a little one, too!" said the other. Penny said not a word, though her heart was beating wildly. She had heard often of these college pranks and she was using all her wits now to scheme a way out this one. Bound ed on all sides by doors and sopho mores and with the great car going at a good speed toward the village limits she felt very helpless. If only one of her captors had been Tom Underhill, the situation might have mitigating circumstances. Tom was every inch a sophomore, but Penny could not somehow or other, muster up the hatred for him that she knew she should have felt. He came from her own tvomre town, and she had luiown ,liiat.lmost alwayg. It was not. his fauft.:that he had been sent away to :ollegea year before she was ready to go. And now.because Penny felt an exaggerated loyalty to her class, she would have nothing to do with Tom. She had treated him far worse than a stranger; she barely spoke to him when she met him. She felt the car slowing down and she looked out xt the window. They were entering the long tree lined driveway leading to the country club. Penny knew the club house would be deserted at this time of tho year and she wondered what the boys would do with her next. She dared not let her thoughts dwell on the class meeting and her now hope less ambition to be elected presi dent. If she' ca.ed so little for the class meeting as to be absent with out sending an excuse how could she expect to be chosen as a leader? Presently the car stopped in r'r- of the broad, deserted porch of the country club. "We have an hour and a half to kill. Miss Darling. What would you like to do?" asked on- of the boys, politely. 'Go home, said Penny. x hat's beside the question what would you like to do here?" he repeated, smiling broadly. Sit right here and think what villains you are all of you though I haven'' found out yet who Is running this car." Both boys laugned aloud. "You don't know?" Penny shook her head and peered through the glass at the back of a broad shouldered fellow. "Who is it?" she asked. "Tom Underhill shall "we ask him in? He might be cold." Penny did not answered. So Tom had so far forgotten everything that used to be between them as to aid and abet any such prank as this! Penny tossed her head in the dark. "Well," she thought, "if that's the sort he Is I'm glad I showed my colors first." "I say, Miss Darling, we'll leave you to Tom's tender mercies a moment, if you don't mind, while we go Inside and inves tigat the larder. Perhaps there's a left over something or the makings of a cup of coffee. May we be excused?" "You have my permission," said Penny loftily. Laughing at the thought of what they had done, the two boys closed the door behind her and left Penny sitting alone in the big cushioned seat of the limousine. "We'll bring back anything we find that's attractive and share it with you." one of them called back to her. For the first time since the start the man in front moved. Quietly he left his seat and stepped In beside Penny. "Are you lonely. Penny Darling?" ne asked, sitting opposite her. Penny did not reply. She looked out of the window at the shadows of the poplars on the driveway. "Did you want very much to be class president?" Tom asked. No answer. "This was my idea I, alone, am re sponsible for the kidnaping of you. Penny. The boys know why; 1 got desperate-and had to resu-t to strategic measures. You have treated me so badly you little fresh man, you! Penny look at me." he said, gently. Penny did not move. "'I knew if you became class president you would be further from me than ever that you would not so much as dare to sp-mk to a mere soph you with your ex aggerated Idea of class loyalty. It's quite in the order of things for sophs to steal freshies and I've served a double pur pose. Dear if I promise not to look at you in public, if I never so much as -speak to you for the rest of the term, will you marry me in June? Mother wants me at home next vear and I want you to make it nome. Will you. Penny? Say I haven't spoiled everything this evening it was my only chance; I couldn't bear It any longer." For a moment nothing was heard but the breathing of the two in the car; then Penny turned toward him where the light from the great moon coming over the treetops shone full in .his face. "You've spoiled my ambitions," she said. He caught her hand. "Is that all, Penny?" I "And my popularity He caught her other hand and drew her close. "Is that 'all?" he persisted. "And my hair," she added, laugting. 'Til be a sight when those boys return." (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) GLOBE SIGHTS BT THE ATCHISON GLOBE.

BANKERS ARE INDICTED Two Cincinnati Officials .to Appear Before Grand Jury. Cincinnati, April 10. Elmer Gallbreath, former president of the Second National bank, and Charles H. Davis were Indicted today by the federal grand jury which has been investigating the affairs of the bank. Gallbreath was Indicted a year ago but has not yet been tried. The bank was completely reorganized more than a year ago. Davis also was formerly president of the bank. There were twenty-eight counts in the indictment, fourteen charging mis appropriation of funds, seven false entry and seven abstraction.

Thinks Should Not Be Vested in Governor. IN CASE STATE CONVICTS Would Give This Power Only to State Board Paroles. Bankers Will Bisk Seductions of "Siren" Tonight. E. S. Chenoweth of McCracken, president of the Kansas State Bank ers' association, is in favor of depriv ing the governor of Kansas of the power to pardon criminals. He ex pressed his views on this subject at the first session of the fourth annual meeting of the organization in Repre sentative hall this morning.

Wilson, of Washington, told of the remarkable growth of the Kansas State Banker association. "Four years ago," he stated, "this association was unknown; today it is one of the largest in the country." Mr. Wilson stated that the employment department had been par ticularly valuable. The report of the treasurer, F. G. Bergen, of Summerfield, showed the fi nances of the association to be in ex cellent condition. C. C. K. Scoville, chairman of the committee on mutual insurance stated that the committee has found that mutual insurance is feasitJle and desirable, but not pos sible under the present lws unless the members go into it as individuals. He asserted that there must either be a radical reduction in the rates of in surance or the laws of the state must be changed in order to permit the for mation of a mutual organization. William Macferran, of Topeka. made a brief report for the committee on legislation. He stated that although the bank guarantee law has proven a suc cess, there are certain changes in the law that should be made. State Guaranty Law Approved. Of this law the president,, E. S. Chen oweth in his annual address said: "In 1908 a prominent banker of this ctate made use of the following language: "The man who dares to offer a bank W. E. Wilson. Cashier Farmers' State Bank of Washington and Secretary Kansas State Bankers' Association. guarantee law at the next session of the legislature will be laughed from the platform.' The history of the law you are familiar with. Its prestige you are proud of; the permanency of its home is fee-simple. The few- who would disturb are restrained by the many who favor. The federal court as well as the attorney general diagnosed the case and said the child would die, but the supreme specialist was. called for consultation, and said the child would live. Its pulsation has improved, respiration is normal, and the growing vitality of the child Is phenomenal. The .parties who attempted strangula tion failed to analyze correctly." He closed with this advice: "Tour faith should be a mighty power within you. Bury doubt and fear in oblivion. Don't tolerate narrow views; individualize your personality to ef fectiveness and carry the paramount thought of what will help you to make life a success. The Silver-Leaf quartet, a colored organization furnished vocal music to day that pleased. This afternoon H. J. Waters, of the State Agricultural college spoke on "Forty Minutes of In tensified Farming." George H. Hodges, governor of Kan sas, 'spoke briefly. C. M.

Finally Consents to Production of Play "Boy Blue." Over the protest of Labor Commis sioner O'Brien, the Topeka board of education and Superintendent Starr will stage the "Boy Blue" play at the Grand Saturday. Every possible safe guard will be provided for the children who participate in the play. It was on condition that these safeguards would be provided that the state labor commissioner consented not to ask for prosecutions under the child labor law. As O'Brien interprets the Kansas child labor law. the use of the school children cn the Topeka stage is a di rect violation of the act even though the children are not paid for their ser vices and donate their work for the public playground benefit. So with that opinion in his mind, O'Brien called on Superintendent Starr of the city schools. In the conference which ensued, the labor commissioner ad vised the superintendent of his opin ion as to the violation of the labor laws and declared that more than the ordinary danger surrounded a play such as the one to be staged by the Topeka schools next Saturday. "I don't think." said O'Brien after the conference, "that the play should have been permitted. If the juvenile parts were played by professionals who drew pay. there would be a hundred complaints. But this is a benefit show and no one seems to care. Yet the Aawrra-- i. nnna tViA Ipsa. Thfirft Will fbe more than the usual number of children in the theater during tne show. Those who have acting parts in the play are not familiar with theater arrangements and in event of a panic, there would be any amount of trou ble." O'Brien's objections were curbed to some extent, however, by the agree ment of Superintendent Starr that ex police and firemen would be stationed in the theater during the play. With the further agreement that children would be taken from the building as soon as their parts were concluded. O'Brien consented that the play might be staged. BOARD AT EMPORIA. Getting Familiar With Work at Institution. DEATH IN A FIRE. K. AV. Withrow, ox-Topekan, Hied In Oklahoma Hotel Blaze. Edward W. Withrow, for many years a resident of Topeka, was burned to death in a Are which destroyed the Wilburton hotel at Wilburton, Ok., early Wednesday morning. Withrow was asleep in the hotel at the time of the Are and was probably smothered to death. His body was found in the hotel ruins after the fire was extin guished. Many Topekans were well acquaint ed with Withrow, who was born in Topeka and grew to manhood here. Several years ago he went to Okla homa City, where he established the .Withrow Iand Investment company which did an extensive business dur ing the boom days in Oklahoma City. This week Withrow went to Wilburton to look after business interests. He was probably asleep in his room when the fire was discovered. Although sev eral persons were injured in jumping from the building, Withrow was the only person to lose his life in the hotel fire. Telegrams announcing the death of IWithrow were received in Topeka last night by relatives of the dead man. Mrs. W. A. Stansfleld is a sister of .Withrow, while a brother, F. J. With row, lives at 711 Lincoln street. F. J. .Withrow is a Santa Fe conductor. Mr. and Mrs. Stansfleld and Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Withrow left last night for Ok lahoma City, where the body of the dead man was taken after the fire. affords Miss Bunting unusual scope for the display of her histrionic abil ity, and all the members of the com pany are congenially cast. The action is brisk, the dialogue sparkling, and the situations are well contrived for effect, the company acts with singu lar unanimity of purpose, and so brings out the ultimate possibilities of the play. "Pretty Miss Nobody" continues to please, and those who have not al ready seen this little comedienne as the little country girl, are certainly missing the treat of their lives. The play has a big human appeal because it brings home to those who deal with country people the fact that the girls who work on the farm are human, and have a heart just as tender as those found in the large cities. There is no actress on our stage today who so forcefully humanizes Taylor's heroine as does Miss Bunting. The secret of this lies in the fact that this actress has made a study of these girls and their lives. Popular priced matinee Saturday. LORD FAUNTLEROY. Majestic Stock Co. Will play Famous Piece Xext Week. For next week Miss Emma Bunting and the Emma Bunting company will be seen in the great comedy-drama Little Lord Fauntlerov." This play has never been produced in Topeka but in the east enjoyed a phenomenal run on account of the great popularity of the story of the same name bv Mrs. Frances Hodjrson Burnett. It Gibbs Arson Case Set for April 21. The Rossville arson case, In which Levi and George Gibbs, brothers, are charged with setting lire to the city building in Rossville, resulting in the destruction of several business build ings last December, is set for hear ing before Judge A. W. Dana in the first division of the district court fol lowing the trial of the Wallace mur der case. The Gibbs case is now set for Monday, April 21. Information upor which the Gibbs brothers were arrest ed came to the officers through the wife of Levi Gibbs, who detailed a con versation she said she heard between the brothers a few days before the fire She was the chief witness against them at the preliminary hearing in the county court, and will be the star wit ness in the district court hearing. Atchison Has Batting Average 1.000. County Attorney Atchison still hel his batting average in the conviction of jointists with the conviction late yesterday of "Bud" Huggins. The jury tound Huggins guilty of maintaining a nuisance and of making one sale of liciuor. So far Atchison's batting av erage in the prosecution of liquor cases oases is 1.000, not having lost a case. One or two cases have been continued for arrest and onep lea of guilty was entered, leaving 16 cases on the docket for the court to dispose of today. There are no settings tomorrow, and it is hoped the court may clean up the as signment of liquor cases so as to be ready for the Andrew Wallace murder trial next Monday morning. EAST SIDE NOTES.

It should be in every family medicine cabinet. To restore plumpness and symmetry ol form without becoming fat, the Vaucaire home treatment is recommended. Make a syrup with 1 cupfuls of sugar and a pint of water, and into this stii- an ounce of gallol; take two teaspoonfuls before meals. "Just worrying about hair falling out won't help any woman. A few min utes' work is better than hours of worry. Faded and brittle hair, falling hair and baldness are caused by a parasite that ue stroys the life of the hair. Mother- Shampoo removes these parasites, leaves the scalp healthy and clean and makes tne hair fine and fluffy. Enough for sev eral months can be bought at any drug store for 25c. Spotted, sallow and muddy looking complexions, together with skin eruptions, often present in the spring require a cleansing treatment instead of face pow der. An ideal complexion beautifier is easily made at home by dissolving an original package of mayatone in a halt pint of witch hazel. It makes the skin soft, fair and lovely. "Te remove superfluous hair on face or f -rearms make a paste with a little water and powdered delatone, cover the hairs for two minutes, then remove and wash the skin.

The fact that the calling of more troops was under serious considera tion was taken as an indication that a peaceful settlement was still a re mote possibility. With over 300 miles of street car tracks to patrol the 3,000 men under command of Brigadier Gen eral Welch proved an ineffective polic ing force. HOT SPRINGS FLOOD. Heavy Rain Sent Water and Driftwood Down From Mountains. Hot Springs. Ark., April 10. This re sort has suffered $50,000 damage from the worst flood in years. In four hours Wednesday 6.55 inches of rain fell, a record for Hot Springs.

Mexican Department Will Investigate .Alleged Action of Luis Rojas. Mexico City. April 10. Growing out ot the charges that Luis Rojas, second vice president of the chamber of deputies, is reported to have filed at Washington that the American ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson, was "morally responsible" for the death of Francisco Madero and Pino Suarez, the department of justice has in structed one of the civil courts to investi gate allegations that Rojas is guilty of treason. If the court decided that there are grounds for a trial, congress, of which he is a member, will be asked to remove the exemption from arrest. The accusation is based on the report that Rojas requested the 1'nited States to take steps to save his life. This is construed as a request for intervention. FOOL DRUG FIENDS. El si it Hundred Pounds of Marked "Cocaine" Proved to Be Sugar Cane. San Francisco, April 10. Eight hundred pounds of white crystals four trunkfuls seized in a hotel here and supposed to be cocaine, proved under analysis to be crystallized sugar cane. All the sugar was put up in drug gist's bottles, bearing the name of a Montreal manufacturing chemist and labelled "cocaine hydro chloride, large crystals, highest quality."

I TRY T0SAVE CITY Special Train of Steel Is Being Rushed to Jfew Orleans. Strengthen the Embankments Against Rising Mississippi. Pittsburg, Pa.. April 10. A special train loaded with steel piling left Pittsburg at express speed this morning withthe hope that it will reach New Orleans in time to save that city from the rapidly rising waters of the Missis sippi. When it became evident that the flood waters of the Ohio and its tributaries would endanger the levees on the lower Mississppi, the govern ment placed an order with a Pittsburg mill for steel piling to be used in strengthening the embankments.

Captain Sherrill announced this afternoon that if the levees held, the water now in sight indicated a stage of 22.5 feet at New Orleans about May. or six inches more than the record flood stage of last spring. This would give stages ranging from one to two feet over last year's record at points between New Orleans and Vicksburg. Captain Sherrill still is hopeful of holding the levees intact below Vicks burg. Although engineers are not in the least apprehensive .about the levees in and about New Orleans, long stretches will have to be topped with sandbags and earth. ELKS INSTALL OFFICERS Everett L.

Kansas City, April 10. "Nothing re mains to keep the Standard in Mis souri except the state supreme court, which has under consideration a peti tion for rehearing of its ouster de cree," said Frank Hagerman, counsel for the Oil company when informed Governor Major had vetoed the bill permitting the company to continue business in Missouri. Mr. Hagerman said if the supreme court did not come to the rescue the oil plant at Sugar Creek and other property in the towns throughout the state would be moved away. "It is not improbable," said Mr. Hagerman, "that the Sugar Creek refinery will re-establish in Kansas, just acros sthe line. "It is not improbable that it will dismantle the plant at Sugar Creek, that is, of course, only in the event the supreme court does not modify its order of ouster, and establish another on the Kansas side. It will use what machinery it can and confiscate the rest. The company has been waiting for the outcome of this controversy to double its plant and invest an addi tional three million dollars in this territory." It was said by one attorney for the Standard today that the company had obtained an option on a quarter sec tion of land in Wyandotte county, Kansas. This land is being held for an emergency. MAY GO ON STAND. Youth Accused of Quadruple Murder to Be Given a Chance. Quincy, 111., ,April 10. Today was a day of rest for the court and the jury but not for the attorneys for Ray Pfanschmidt charged with a quad ruple murder. Judge Williams, on the conclusion of the state's evidence yesterday granted a day's vacation of court so that the attorneys for the ac cused youth might interview their witness and prepare themselves thor ough for the defense which they will begin to unfold tomorrow morning. The principal interest here centers on the question whether the defense will place Rav Pfanschmidt on the stand. It has "been said the original inten tion was not to use the defendant as a witness. Much of the evidence of the state baa- been of such a nature however. that it can only be refuted by the youth himself. FLAGLER IS LOW. Railway and Oil Magnate Growing Weaker Hourly. West Palm Peach.

solemnly swear that the above F. M. Correct BRIAN'S CAREER. Star in the Siren Worked First Cash Boy. Donald Brian, star in the "Siren," worked first as a cash boy in a Bos ton department store and later es sayed to become a mechanic. He was taught singing as a boy member of the choir of the famous Gate of Heav en church in the Hub. He also de veloped into an unusually good ath lete and was noted mile runner with the old Pastime Athletic club in the Massachusetts capital. This athletic training has stood well for him in his dancing in recent years, for Brian possesses a degree of endurance that few stage dancers can boast. His first experience in the theatrical game came when he joined the Boston City Quartet. Later he trouped with an unimportant aggregation in the pre sentation of a piece called ."Shannon of the Sixth.'- Later he attracted the attention of George M. Cohan and was a member of the original company playing "Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway." It was while In this piece that he was observed by Henry W. Savage and. entrusted with the role of Prince Danilo in the original pro duction of "The Merry Widow." Brian became famous in a night through his marvelous dancing in this highly suc cessful piece. After three years with "The Merry Widow'' he was featured by Charles Frohman in the New York production pf "The Dollar Princess" and wo years ago was elevated to stardom and exploited in "The Siren." This attraction is billed for the Grand opera house tonight. MURDOCH FIRST BILL Kansas Progressive Leader Has "Pure Clothing" Measure in Hopper. Washington, April 10.

FARMS NEED MEN Production of Good Corn the Only Jfecessity. Jfot National Conference Brings Forth Expert Opinions. CO-OPERATION IN FINANCE Facilities to Farmers That Are Offered to Factories. Must Learn to Fondle Nourish the Soil. and Chicago, April 10. The third and final day of the National conference on mar keting and farm credits brought forth expert opinion regarding the financial needs of the farmers as interesting as those heretofore heard on the subject of marketing. Among the speakers were-financiers, educators and editors. One cf the most interesting papers heard from the standpoint of farm credits was by Her bert Myrick, of Springfield, Mass., president of several weekly papers espe cially interesting to farmers. The au thor waa not present and the paper was read for him. Some of the foremost speakers of the day were B. F. Harris, of Champaign, 111., former president of the Illinois Bankers association; George Woodruff, president of the First Na tional bank of Joliet, 111.; Homer C. Price, dean of agricultuse at the Ohio state university and W. G. Edens, of Chicago. Mr. Myrick's paper on "Com parative Finance," set forth among other things the following: Enforce Organized Corporation. "Organized co-operation is the great est of all marvels in economic evolu tion. Applied to finance it multiplies an hundred fold the power of each dol lar of cash by transfers of credits through the mechanism exchange. Ap plied to agriculture organized co-operation will enable farmers to finance themselves, improve distribution, reform marketing and promote their general welfare. Therefore adequate finance for farming is the basic need today and hence the American farmers now unitedly demand: "First That whatever reform of cur rency and banking be enacted by con gress, shall provide facilities for fi nancing the farm and small industries relatively equal to the facilities afford ed the great manufacturing commercial and business interests. "Second -That such reform shall authorize and encourage the co-operation of savings and thrift credits and loans, by people of. limited means farmers, workers in" other vocations and producers generally and the wise use of their combined resources by the producers themselves. "Third That thisr shall be done not by grants of pay; not by special provi leges. but by relative equality of op portunity in banking and exchange for personal mortgage, savings and loans, whereby farmers and the common peo rl mnv rn-onerate to succeessf ully finance rheseTvesrl,eTOe1weitrirof't both federal and -state laws." j- Attract, Funds to AH. A plan set forth by Mr. Myrick in his paper would tend to decentralize mort- i gage credit for the benefit of each j farmer who needs it;' centralize the security, supervision and managementj of land credits; attract the funds, needed to meet borrowers' demands; mobilize all mortgages as a basis for j safe investment bonds- and pay off the J mortgage almost without the borrower feeling it. Mr. Harris speaking on "Improving part: Until we learn to handle the sur face soil less wantonly; to fondle and nourish it as our other treasures, we can hardly expect others to abet the plan of further despoiling it by finding easier ways of using it as security for its own undoing. It is time to call a halt when the soil has been starved until its declining returns have helped force unnatural and abnormal advance in prices. The best product of the prairies is not corn, but men and the quarter sec tion that produces a thinking man may well be said to have performed its mission." Mr. Eden's subject was "Financing the Farmer." He said in part: Suffering From Indifference. "One of the principal reasons for: the increased cost of living lies in the crude agricultural methods and condi tions prevailing. The agricultural in terests of the nation are suffering from indifference, while the popula tion of the country increases from year to year the production from the soil does not increase proportionately and hence it Is onlv natural that hign prices prevail. I believe that it ought to be possible to evolve some plant for better financing of the farmer from all the Investigations that have been made. which will be Just and equitaDle tor all the interests concerned." Dean Price, speaking on the subject 'Improving Farm Credits in Ameri ca," said that Americans suaaeniy had awakened to the fact that they do not possess "all that is working in agriculture and that in agriculture credit, co-operation, distribution and farm organization we are woefully be hind some of the countries in Europe. Mr. Woodruff had for his subject, 'European Svstems of Farm Credit." He compared agricultural conditions In Europe with those in America rrom a financial standpoint. STRIKE IS AVERTED. Compromise Agreement Kept 2.200 Telephone Girls at Work. Boston, April 10. A strike of the 2,200 telephone operators threatened In the 54 exchanges or Greater Boston was averted today by a, compromise agreement. Instead of weekly wage increases, averaging $1 each, which the union demanded, the agreement provides for the establishment of a plan of anniversary payment. These payments are to be $2 5 at the end of the second year, $50 annually from the end of the third to the end of the ninth year and $100 at the end of each succeeding year. The socalled "split trick" abolition of which was demand ed, will not be compulsory on any operator after 18 months' service. The lunch period will be lengthened, and the girls "will have .the maximum number of holidays and afternoons off consistent with service requirements." These concessions are effective June 1.

Kansas has lost 60,000 acres of apple trees In the last ten years. Most of this loss has resulted from the cutting down of small five and ten-acre orchards the family size, which used to be a part of every average farm until insects and diseases attacked the trees. Then the owner not knowing how to combat them, or else neglectful of his orchard ing, allowed the pests to go unchecked. The qrchard then became worthless and was chopped out. But these are better times for family orchards, apparently. Farmers are In clined to give their trees another chance now; to try a year of "college" orchard ing before cutting them out. More re quests for advice of pruning, spray ing, and general orcharding have come to the agricultural college this year than ever before. The orchard demon stration work which is being conducted by two horticulturists from the college is very popular this spring. George O. Greene and Fred Merrill are kept busy giving demonstrations in spraying and pruning in various parts of the state. Mr. Merrill, who is filling a number of engagements in the vicinity of Wich ita.

Jeff Narson Located After a Search of Four Years. Pratt, April 10. Jeff Narson, who rerl from this city nearly four years ago has been found after one of the most thorougn searcnes mai. could be instituted. Narson went to Kansas City and from there he sud denly dropped out of sight of his rela tives and trienas. rie was tuusmcmu queer by many, but was bright and was considered sharp in trades and in business matters. His brother, who now resides in New Mexico, has spent two years in vain trying to locate his lost brother and spent much money in advertising for him. Jeff Narson was first seen in Kan sas City Wednesday last, by a Pratt business man who immediately noti fied anxious friends here. Narson said that he had seen the many ad vertisements sent ou. for him and had enjoyed his silence from hie friends. He gives no reason for not making himself known. Friends hero are now trying to lo cate the brother who was so faithful during the first two years of Narson's disappearance, but up to noon today he could not be located. LESSEN BROOM CORN ACREAGE; Growers in Southwest Kansas Want Better Prices. Hutchinson, April 10. Fewer acres; better bush. That is the watchword and motto of the Broom Corn Growers' union, which is being organized among the farmers of southwestern Kansas. The proper name of this organization is the National Broom Corn Growers' as sociation. The object is to curtail the acreage, and produce a better quality of brush, and thereby raise the price. Judging by the reports from Reno and Rice county growers there Is no doubt about there being fewer acres in this district this year, although It will be due to poor prices driving farmers out of the business, rather than to efforts of any "union."

Congressman J John Connelly, of the Sixth district, is """"8 loyor good stuil from Wash ington to his paper, the Colby Free Press. He will retain ownership of his paper, for it will be a good thing to handle when he quits congress. Congressman Connelly is using good judgment on the matter of pensioning old government employees on half pay. He was approached by one of the offi cials who wants a pension. After listen, ing to his arguments the congressman rentier!

It is downright gall. Congressman Con nelly thought, this pensioning em ployees of the government of civil serv ice. He is of the opinion that no man should be eligible to stay in the civil service for more than a limited number of years and that he should not be eligible for reappointment unless he could show that he had made such sav ings out of his earnings that would indicate that he would not in old age become a public charge. Smith Center, Kan.. April 10.

TRIED TO SAW THE BARS. Arkansas Prisoner Attempts to Leave Reno JaiL Hutchinson, April 10. James Spill man, alias Sweeny, the man who es caped from Arkansas authorities and was arrested here and held for in vestigation by the sheriff until the Arkansas people could get him, tried his luck at getting out of the Reno county jail, but did not succeed, and is now back on his way to Van Buren. A saw got into the possession of the bad man, either through some confed erate working from the outside or was concealed on his person when he was placed in the lockup. Anyway, Spill man, realizing that the southern peo ple were on their way to get him and take him back, made one last and final attempt to escape, by sawing almost through one of the bars before he was discovered. The deputy sent here to take back the prisoner said Spillman is a des perate character and is wanted for several crimes. Deputy Severn re turned Sunday night with Spillman for Van Buren.

It is o mild that thousands of mothers rive it to tiny infantB, and yet it is so compounded, and contains such definite Ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by a person suffering from the worst chronic constipation.

It is a fact that millions of families nav Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, homes ltke those of Mrs. G. B. Fruit., Berea, Ky., who used Dr. Ca'd well's Syrup Pepsin as a laxative tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that It so strengthened and cleansed her system that she was quickly relieved of a severe cough which had troubled her for months.

Manhattan, Kan., April 10 If the next five or six weeks bring no freez ing temperatures to Kansas there will be a good crop of apples this year. That is the opinion of Albert Dickens, professor of horticulture at the Kan sas Agricultural college. The apple buds are not unduly forward and they seem to be In good condition, he says. The peach crop is almost a failure. Some iparts of the state report pros pects for a few but in the main the crop will be very light. Cherries seem to be In good condition and the pros pects for small fruits never were bet ter. Canker worms will make their ap pearance as soon as any green in either leaf or bud appears, and will destroy such fruit unless spraying is done. The tent caterpillar will ap pear at about the same time. Spray should be applied when the trees first begin to get green. The college will be glad to furnish information about spraying to anyone who desires It. FACES FEDERAL CHARGE. REPAIR UNIVERSITY. of Board Authorizes Expenditures $25,000. Lawrence, Kan., April 10. Imme diate repairs and improvements to the amount of approximately J25.000 to be made after commencement were authorized at the joint meeting of the temporary board of regents and the board of administration. The foundations of Snow hall are to be exposed and re-constructed. A tunnel extension is to be made from the main heating plant to Blake, Fraser and Snow halls and the Medi cal building. During the summer all steam mains and returns will be encased in a covering designed to do away with waste of heat, and a brick floor will be laid in the main tunnel from a point near the repair shop to Marvin hall. The completion of the under ground conduit system, which is one of the largest improvements author ized, will be begun immediately. The conduit system on the entire west half of the campus was installed several years ago, and when the present im provement is completed there will be no overhead wires on the campus. Other improvements will be made to the electric light and power lines to put them in first class condition. The grounds immediately adjacent to Marvin hall and between that build"- ing and the mechanical laboratory and power plant will be graded in accord ance with the original intention when these buildings were located. The regents recognized the Skull and K society, an Pittsburg Men Charged With Violating White Slave Law. Pittsburg, Kan., April 10.

Remember the physic that mother In sisted on castor oil. calomel, cathar tics. How you hated them, how you fought against talcing them With your children It's different. The day of harsh physio is over. We don't force the liver and SO feet of bowels now; we coax them. We have no dreaded after effects. Mothers who cling t'j the old form of physio simply don't realise what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. The little stomachs and tender bowels are Injured by them. If your child is fretful, peevish, half sick, stomach sour, breath feverish and its little system full of cold; has diarrhoea, sore throat, stomach-ache doesn't eat or rest well remember look at the tongue, if coated, give teaspoonful of Syrup of Rigs, then don't worry, because you surely will have a well, smiling child in a few hours. Byrup or rgs oeing composea en tirely of luscious figs, senna and aro matlcs simply cannot be harmful. It sweetens the stomach, makes the liver active and thoroughly cleanses the little one's waste-clogged bowels. In a few hours all sour bile, undigested ferment ing food and constipated waste matter gently moves on and out of the system without griping or nausea. Directions for children of all ages. also for grown-ups, plainly printed on the package. By all means get the genuine.
