A vested choir of 250 voices preceded the funeral party into St. George's. Behind the choir came the clergy, then the pallbearers, the coffin and the family. Fifteen hundred persons, one of the most notable gatherings New York has seen for many years, were crowded into the church. Admission was by card only.

In Stuyvesant square, directly opposite the entrance to the church, 5.000 more had been waiting for hours. A hundred police men kept back the throngs. So great was the crush when the bells began tolling as the funeral party left the Morgan home that for several blocks in each direction the police stopped all vehicle traffic The crowd stood patiently during the long services and disbanded with out incident at the close.

Consumer Will Feel Benefit of Sugar Duty. FEARS AREJOT JUSTIFIED President Does ?fot Believe In dustries Will Suffer. Leaders Begin Second "Week of New Schedule. Chairman Underwood Ordered to Bed Account of Illness. Washington, April 14. President Wil son believes the tariff bill meets the general approval of the country; that no healthy business will be interrupted and that although in most cases the cost of living will not be immediately reduced, the consumer will feel at once the benefit of a reduction in the sugar duty. These veiews were expressed today by ty,a nrosiilpnt in an open talk with newspaper men at the White House. He explained his main reason lor ae- siring a reduction on sugar was that the consumer deserved it. The president declared arrangements by which prices were nxea wouiu suic ly be made 'impossible when a truly competitive situation was created, and that the public would get the benefit very promptly in the case of sugar because he knew competitive elements were ready to contest. Criticisms, he said, had been receiv d from some Derfectly legitimate in terests contending that the cuts in their cases were more than they could at present stand. Mr. Wilson said he did not see any ruinous cuts in the hill He referred to the fact that members of the ways and means com mittee had heard every person in in terest, and that their judgments were based on those hearings. 11 was us gested te the president that many Ohio Democrats in congress felt that free wool would be ruinous to the woolen industry. Facts Not to Be Found. Mr. Wilson said he had been trying to inform himself as much as possib'8 on that subject but ne- aia noi their fears were justified by facta. He remarked he had heard Just the other day that the price of wool was the same on both sides bt the water. In connection with the sugar tariff the president was asked if he thought sugar factories, both beet and cane, could operate under free sugar. He said he certainly thought they could, remarking with a smile that the factor ies might shut down for effect for a time but that they would open for business later. The president said he hoped to open reciprocity negotiations with various countries as soon as the tariff bill was passed. Leaders Still In Control. With most of the strong adminis tration leaders still in control of the situation, house Democrats today be gan the second week of consideration of the new tariff bill in caucus. Hav ing withstood the test of vigorous op position to the sugar scneauie eaiur- Hav. the Drosoect was luuaj mai. uu material changes proposed to the bill could get enough support to De ei fective, not excepting free raw wool, against which a definite opposition has developed. Consideration or tne wool question probably will not be reached for several days. The "market basket" attracted at tention of the legislators today, the ne-ricultural schedule having been reached. Wheat and citrus fruits were particular targets lor some 01 ine members from milling and fruit bear ing states. Flour has been placed on the free list in the administration bill. while a duty of ten per cent ad va lorem is left on wheat. Representatives from milling states claim that is a discrimination against the millera and they propose to make a fight either to put wheat on the free list or to place a compensating amy on flour. Opposition developed also to the free listing of potatoes. The senate finance committee, which re sumed consideration of the bill, also had the same question before it, some senators proposing to place a duty of 60 cents a barrel on flour on the basis ot tive bushels of wheat to the barrel. Harrison la in Charge. Chairman Underwood's friends were inclined to minimize his illness, say ing he surely would be back at his desk after a few days. Politically, his enforced absence from the Democrat caucus, where as chairman of the ways and means committee and lead er "of the house Democrats standing behind the administration tariff bill, was considered of such importance that it could not be dismissed lightly. Today Representative Francis Burton Harrison of New York, one of Mr. Und rwood's closest lieutenants and a staunch supporter of the administra tion took charge at the caucus and the work went on. There is a strong fight on in the house against the adminis tration sugar and wool program. It is conceded on every side that the absence of Mr. Underwood- gives cour age to the forces opposing the propos als favored by President Wilson. Underwood Ordered to Bed. Washington, April 14. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee was ordered to bed today by his physicians, who declared he had a slight fever and was in danger of a breakdown from hard work on the tariff bill. He may be confined for several days. His illness, however, did not interfere wit hthe house cau cus today, which will, work on. At Last Wind Stops Blowing.

Certain $300,000 Not to Be Used Against Co-Operatires. Washington, April 14. The sundry civil bill, including a provision that a certain 300,000 of its total shall not De used tor snerman law prosecution of farmers' "co-operative organization or labor union" was reintroduced to- day on the floor of the house. Former President Taft vetoed the bill in the last hours of his office because of that provision, which he characterized as "class legislation of the most vicious sort. The bill carries appropriations total ling $116,000,000. President Wilson let some of his call ers know today that he would not ob ject to the passage of the bill in the same form as Mr. Tart vetoed it. Wil son does not favor attaching general legislation to appropriation but he does not regard the particular provision to which objection was made as one that establishes a rule of future law with respect to labor unions or farmer or ganizations. He looks on the provision as effective only during the life of the bill .nd not an enacting substantive law. The whole question of whether labor unions may be prosecuted for operations alleged to be in restraint of trade, un der tne Sherman law is likely to be taken up when a revision of the anti trust point is definitely determined. It is said Mr. Wilson does not believe such a provision could be regarded as class legislation. KILLED JN STRIKE Fifty Policemen and 400 Strik ers in Battle RoyaL

New Haven Track Laborers At tempt to Drive Rule. Marmaroneck, N. T., April 14. One man was shot and killed, one was mor tally wounded' and several others in jured in a battle here today between the police and several hundred striking track laborers on the New iHaven rail road. Five strikers are under arrest. Four hundred strikers marching in a column engaged 50 policemen In a hand to hand conflict. Jeremiah Cody, a private detective,- received the brunt of the strikers onslaught. He is suffering from a stiletto wound in his back and a broken leg. When he fell the en gagement became general and the po lice at the command of Chief of Police O'Neil drew their revolvers and fired. The strikers retreated, taking their wounded with them. Only the man killed was left behind. His identity has not been established. The strikers are members of the La borers" International Union of Amer ica and were making the rounds of manufacturing plants, driving off la borers when employers refused to grant an increase in wages and a shorter working day. EYE Of BANKERS Grand Jury Will Advocate Closer OfficiaP Supervision. Indictment Brings Out Customs of Money Handlers. San Francisco, April 14. As a result of the federal grand jury investigation of San Francisco's stockbrokerage business which has brought abqut the indictment of three prominent brokers. United States District Attorney John L. McNab will recommend to the Washington authorities the amending of the United States banking laws. Mr. McNab said today he was aid ing the grand jury in drawing up a re port on the local inquiry which will advocate closer supervision of bank officers to prevent their having any dealings with stock brokers. The in dicted brokers, J. C. Wilson, B. A. Wilbrand and P. P. Burke, are accused of conspiracy to aid or abet the ab straction of the funds from a national bank. The indictments grew out of an in vestigation of a $200,000 embezzlement from the Crocker National bank. JOB FOR LYNCH. International Typographical President May Be Public Printer. Washington, April 14. James Lynch, president of the International Typo graphical union, with headquarters at In dianapolis, is slated for public printer.

Hear Stout sing. Free. Adv. MONDAY ALL R(M FEARS Condition of Pope Pius Causes Anxiety and Depression. Physicians Concerned About Increased Weakness. HE IS SILENT AND PASSIVE m Pontiff Took Little Notice of Those Around Him. Bulletin by Papal Doctors Gives Reassurance. Rome, April 14. Although the pope rested quietly during the forenoon, the physicians were somewhat concerned about his increasing weakness. His heart, however, showed no symptoms of valvular lesion this morning. The pontiff took little notice of those around him. For the most part he remained silent and passive. a he bulletin issued by the papal pnysicians early today reads: "His holiness passed a tranquil night. Bronchial symptoms are reassuring. Temperature' 99. General condition good. (Signed) "MARCHIAPAVA, "AMICI." While the bulletin issued by the pope's physicians this morning is op timistic, it leaves many incredulous that the patient really has had a turn for the better. Undoubtedly, however, there was a noticeable amelioration in the pope's condition during the night. No More Pear of Pneumonia. The pope's temperature decreased at 1 o'clock today to 98 degrees. The dis appearance of fever is interpreted as a sign that there is no more fear of pneumonia. Professor Marchiafava on leaving the pope's apartment after ex amining him said: I now trust that the pope's illness will have a favorable solution, if it is possible to induce the patient to take proper care of himself." The improvement is considered most encouraging. Last night was the sev enth since the first relapse suffered by the pope and the gravest anxiety had been caused by his increasing weak ness and malnutrition. It now appears that the excess of coughing suffered by the pope last night greatly relieved the pontiff and enabled him to obtain a long and restful sleep. Rome has been thrown into depres sion at the announcement of this at tack and many thought the pope had reached the last extremity until Cardi nal Merry del Val reassured them. During the night the pope's temperature gradually de creased.- -Professor Ettore Mar chiafava again submitted the pontiff to a long and minute examination to day." He gave' special attention to the condition of the heart and the aorta- He was satisfied that the bronchial Inflammation on the left side had not Increased.' Dr. Amici visited the pope twice af ter the departure of Professor Marchia fava this morning. According to an understanding between the two physi cians. Professor Marchiafava was not called again as Dr. Amici --Considered the pope's condition stationary. Pro fessor Marchiafava is to see the pope again tonight. I3nd Not for Several Days. Rome is taking the pope's illness with outward tranquility. There is widespread conviction that if the end is approaching it will not come for some days at least. The churches are not unusually crowded, but all who visit them pray fervently for the head of the church. The weather is rainy most of the time. Ordinary tourists are still allowed to visit some of the galleries or the Vati can. Carriages drive up frequently conveying cardinals, ambassadors and high prelates to inquire about the pope's condition and to read the latest bulletins and ir possiDie to eaten a word with one of the doctors. The physicians have become very clever In eluding would-be Interview ers. They enter sometime by one door and sometimes by another and there is an infinite number of en trahces to choose from. If they should happen to be caught by any one they are utterly noncommittal. Inside the Vatican all is tranquil and business is being transacted as usual. This shows a marked contrast to when Leo XIII was on his sick bed. Then everything was at a standstill and great confusion existing, arrange ment for the conclave of cardinals be ing pushed forward even before his death. Do Not Expect Him to Die. It is said in Rome that if any con clusion is to be drawn from the pres ent quietness, it must be that those around the pope do not expect him to die. The sisters of Pope Pius have re gained the calm which was shaken by their brother's sudden relapse. The persistent cold weather augments the difficulty of treating the pope satis factorily. He dislikes to use the heat ing apparatus but Professor Marchia fava considers it indispensable to keep the temperature of the. bedroom at 65 degrees. The pope today inquired about the Venetian pilgrims and when he heard that they had left Rome ex pressed disappointment that he was unable to receive them. At 6:40 p. m. it was stated that the condition of the pope had remained stationary during the afternoon. His temperature had not risen which was considered a certain proof that there was no trace of pneumonia and also of the certainty of the pope's recovery unless there are complications. In the middle of the day the pope had a short sleep almost uninterrupt ed by coughing, his temperature was slightly above 98 degrees; his pulse 85 and his respiration 26. WRECK KILLS SEVEN. Montreal, April 14. Seven persons are dead and 15 were injured as the result of the derailment of an excur sion train Sunday afternoon on the Montreal-Chambly branch of the Cen tral Vermont railway, about four and a half miles out of St. Lambert. The telescoping of the ends of the de- 1913- EVENING. railed coaches caused most of th tn talities, nearly all of which occurred in the first two cars. Escaping steam from the locomotive, which was thrown over on its side, filled the coaches and hampered passengers in escaping. The passengers from the other coach es formed a rescue brigade and pulled tne oeaa ana injured from the wreck age. Some of ihe bodies were so firmly wedged in the shattered remains of the coaches that it took a wrecking crew hours to release them. The train was carrying about 700 passengers, who had taken advantage of the free trip given by a real estate firm to prospective purchasers of lota at a subdiviEro and was returning to Montreal at a speed of between 20 and 80 miles an hour, when from an un known cause, the engine and first three coaches left the rails. RUSH FOR WEALTH People of This Country Ignore Moral Laws, Says Jap. "United States In Need of So cial Reconstruction." Chicago, April 14. "The world In general and the United States in par ticular faces and needs social recon struction," said the Rev. Yutaki Mina- kuchl, a Japanese missionary, speaking before the Sunday Evening club last night on the subject, "The Vital Needs of the Day." "The people are today ignoring moral laws in the rush tor wealth, educa tion and personal advantage," he said, "Intellectual advancement is a curse unless accompanied by moral advance ment. I can see dire results ahead If the people of the world continue to lose sight of Christ and His Teachings. "In China the spirit of commercial ism is pushing the traffic in opium and letting the cold blood of economy say what it will. I insist that what is morally wrong cannot be politically and commercially right. Our rebuild ing of our social world depends on each individual citizen." Dr. Mlnakuchi came to this country when 19 years old, he attended the University of Kentucky and North Carolina and finished at Yale. His pur pose here is to interest Americans in the welfare of Japan. He is the first Japanese to speak before the club. HIGH WATER AT K. G. Missouri Is Rising Back Water Kaw Closes Sewers. in Kansas City, Mo., April 14. A rise of nearly ten inches in 12 hours was registered by the Missouri river gauge here at 10 o'clock' today with the read ing 20.1 feet 1.9 feet below flood stage. Patrick Connor, United States ob server, said the crest would reach Kansas City Wednesday and would be between 22 and 23 feet. There was no danger whatever of flood here, he said. The river might go eight or ten feet above flood stage before serious dam age would result. High water in the Kaw river today made necessary the closing of the flood gates of one of the largest sewers in Armourdale to block back water. The sewage is being pumped over the dikes until the water recedes. The rise in the Kaw which has its confluence with the Missouri here is due to the liigh stage of the larger river. DIKES MAY HOLD. Weak Sections on Mississippi -Rations In Flooded Sections. Memphis, April 14. Weak sections of levees three miles south of Rosedale and at a point near Greenville on the Mississippi side of the river and at Modoc and Old Town on the Arkansas side were sources of anxiety for the flood fighters today. Lorge forces are working' at all threatened points and it was believed by the government and state levee officials that the dikes would be made safe against the flood. At Memphis this morning the river gauge showed 43.5, a fall of three tenths in the past 24 hours. Helena was stationary at 63.8 and Vicksburg showed 49.2, a rise of six-tenths. Major Normoyle, in charge of the government relief work, will leave to day for Vicksburg, where the next re lief camp will be established. Twenty five thousand rations were sent out today for distribution in the flooded sections of Arkansas. NO SECRET CAUCUS. Bill in Congress to Place All Votes on Public Record. Washington, April 14. The secret caucus in congress would be abolished and it would be unlawful for a caucus or conference to bind a legislator to vote against his best judgments, ac cording to a bill introduced today by Representative Morgan. Executive secret service might be held by order of a two-thirds vote of the caucus or conference. HAGENBACK DYING. Famous Collector of WUd Animals on Ieath Bed. Hamburg, April 14. Karl Hagen back, the collector of wild animals is dying. He is 69 years old. OHIO RIVER FALLING. Cairo, April 14. The Ohio river here to day registered 52.8 feet, a fall of four tenths of a foot since last night. It is thought all danger will be over here by Friday morning. The citizens' patrol of the levee wil be maintained until the river falls below fifty feet. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Fair with rising temperature to night and Tuesday. TWO CENTq On trains and aewtands FIVE CENTS, HE.IS.AJIB.FAN Got. Hodges Will Open West ern League Season. Pitch First Ball and Hopes to Get a Strike. USED TO PLATTHE GAME Next Friday Be Half Holiday at State House. Opening Day Will Bo Big Event if Weather Man Is Good. Governor George H. Hodges today consented to help inaugurate the open ing or tne Western League baseball season in Topeka by throwing the first ball in the game with Denver Fridav afternoon. The Kansas governor gave his consent to participate in the open ing ceremonies this morning when tha request of the baseball management was presented. I The governor is both an enthusiastic fan and in his palmier days was some thing of a sensation as a third base man on the Olathe team. In those days about 15 years ago Governor Hodges possessed both a strong throwing arm and an ahllftv to all the territory around the third sack. since tne old team disbanded, though, the governor has devoted mora tim to the fine points in the political gam, than to development of fielding and batting averages. But with the open ing of the ball season, the love of the game has returned and the Kansas executive will toss the first ball and witness the game from a box. I think I can still throw one to the catcher, all right," said the gov ernor today, "but if some Denver man knocks a home run on my throw, I'll never open another season. Yes, I'll throw the first ball." The opening of the baseball season will probably be observed as a general holiday in the state house this year. Only such clerks as find no joy in the game will stay on the job and look after such business as may be brought to their attention. Many of the oth ers have admitted that they expect to have business outside their offices Fri day afternoon and will try to find an opportunity to slip away to the game. Mayor Cofran, when asked today if he would go to the game or call it a half holiday at the city hall, said he did not know. KILLED WITH HAMMER. Chicago. Merchant Ftound Dead With Head Crushed. Chicago, AprU 14. George Diets, owner of a women's tailoring establish ment, was found murdered in his home at 733 Aldine avenue, early today. His head had been crushed and he Is be lieved to have been beaten to death with a hammer, which was found in the room. A letter was found In the room indicating that revenge was the motive. Dietz was wealthy and lived alone with his wife who discovered the crime. The slayer escaped without awakening the woman. The letter was unsigned, written on a typewriter on yellow paper and was illiterate to a degree that led the po lice to suspect that the writing had been planned to confuse investigators. The letter read in part as follows: "I feel like a man that does right. I kill him like we kill beast. Gerly tell me all when she was sick. I work hard and he is rich man. He steal my little girl. Poor gerly she is not bad, she Is foolish and like good clothes he gave her. He not think she tell me. I not give name. If I get chance to kell old pig, we all saved." The police are working on the theory that either the father or sweetheart of some girl committed the murder. Mrs. Dietz told the authorities that she knew .nothing of the circumstances mentioned in the letter. She was not detained. The crime was committed with a mason's hammer. The handle had been wrapped with a red handker chief looped in such a way that the murderer could maintain a firm grasp. ROCK ISLAND RATES. Commerce Commission Suspends Pro posed Grain Increase.

King Alfonso took a ride through the park this morning and was warmly saluted by the crowds who noisily expressed their Joy that the king had escaped the bul lets fired by the anarchist, Rafael Al legro. Madrid, April 14. For the third time In his reign Kirg Alfonsa nar rowly escape3 being the victim of an anarchist attempt ara'nst his life. Three shots wore firsd at -he king in the streets of fho caprVil by a native i Barcelona, Rafael Sanchez Allegro, who was immediately overpowered. King Alfonso owes his escape to his own courage, quickness and skilled horsemanship. Accompanied by his staff, he was riding along the Calle De Alcala, returning from the cere mony. of swearing in recruits, when a man sprang from the sidewalk and seized the bridle of the king's horse with one hand, drawing a revolver with the other. The king with lightning rapidity dug the spurs into his horse which reared violently. His quickness saved his life. The bullet instead of bjurying it self in the king's breast, struck the horse on the neck, but so close was It that the king's left hand glove was blackened by the powder discharge. Before the assailant was able to pull the trigger again a secret service man sprang upon him. The two men feU to the ground, struggling furiously. The assassin managed to free his re volver arm and fired two more shots, hut the officer knocked his arm aside and the bullets flew harmlessly through the air. At the sound of the first shot the kings staff forced their horses on the sidewalk and made a ring around the assassin, who fought fiercely in the grip of four policemen before he was handcuffed. "Long IJve Siain," He Yelled. King Alfonso, as soon as he saw that the man had been secured raised himself in the stirrups, turned to the crowd, gave a military salute and shouted in a ringing voice: "Long live Spain!" He then dismounted and reassured his staff, sayings 1 "It is nothing, gentlemen." Then uprose a mighty roar from the wildly enthusiastic masses, which rolled along in great waves of sound, all the way as the king rode to the palace, cool, collected and smiling. A spectator, a pensioner royal hal berdier, pushed forward so impetuous ly to offer his congratulations to the monarch that he was mistaken for an other assassin, and arrested. He was, however, released. A young Frenchman, standing be side Allegro, also was arrested, but it does not appear that he was connect ed with him. Attempted to Lynch Assassin. The crowds attempted to lynch Al legro, who was rushed into a house under the automobile ambulance es corted by mounted police, and trans ferred to police headquarters. King Alfonso was forced to tell of what he literally called "the incident" which caused, delay to Queen Victoria and the dowager queen, Maria Chris tina, who were greatly alarmed. The king smilingly allayed their fears. He had hardly been back to the palace ten minutes when an immense clamor arose. The two squares on which the palace looks were black with people, desirous of sh'wing their Joy at the king's safety and their ad miration for his bravery. The king went to the balcony and acknowledged the cheers and then sought the queen, and the two stood bowing to the throngs several minutes. The police investigations have estab lished that Allegro was recently ex pelled from France as an anarchist, after which he went to Barcelona. He came to Madrid a month ago, and ob tained employment in a carpenter shop. He worked there until Friday. It is stated that during the first ex amination Allegro declared that on seeing the king pass he was seined with a sudden evil impulse and having a revolver in n pui urew n. uriven on by an irresistible force, he sprang forward and fired. A woman saia to De associated with Allegro, was arrested. A curious coinciaence is found in the fact that the Spanish premier, "The disturbance of atmospheric Count Romanones, declared to be ab- pressure over the northern hemis solutely without foundation alarming phere," the bulletin says, "is such as rumors circulated regarding the pro- i to indicate that temperatures will oaDinty oi an attempt against the king on the occasion of the swearing in of the recruits, and relative to the presence in Madrid of several danger ous anarchists. WANT FLOUR DUTY. Kansas Millers Protest Against Dem ocratic Free Tariff Schedule. Washington, D. C, April 14. Kan sas millers are protesting vigorously to their representatives in congress against the wheat and flour item in the pending Underwood tariff bill. They predict that if the bill is passed as introduced, with a 10-cent duty on each bushel of wheat and flour free, it will be disastrous to the milling in dustry of Kansas. It would mean, they maintain that the flour market ct this country would be thrown open to the millers of Canada, Germany, i Rngland and the other leading milling countries of the world, the home mil lers being deprived of the ability to Import wheat. Canada and Germany It is pointed out protect- their millers by a tariff on flour and Germany in particular has been openly hostile to flour from any other country whatso ever. "Canadian wheat must pay 10 cents 4- 'I it- I Miss Eunice Seiner, Physical Instruc tor VVaKhbura College, Who Leads the YVill-o'-the-Wisp Dance ixi Little Boy Blue Tonight. per bushel to get Into this country" one Kansas miller wrote his congress man. "The same wheat will go to England duty free, be ground and the flour will come back here duty free to feed the seaboard population of this country. It can be taken to England and brought back manufactured with a profit inside that 10-cent duty.- So the milling industry will lose while the farmer will get no protection." The Kansas millers point ou that the hardships of the new tariff on wheat and flour will fall especially on the millers of the southwest. Having had to contend for a year with tech nical and theoretical transit rulings that have almost wiped out the mill ing business for interior mills they say that the new tariff following the added burdens that the southwest mills have had to bear this year ow ing to the heavy crop and relatively lower prices on wheat in the north west may serve to finish the milling industry in the southwest. FROST NOT GUILTY Federal Jury' 'Gives "Verdict in Alaskan Coal Deal. "Dummy Entrymen" Charged in Railroad Promotion. Chicago, April 14. Albert C. Frost, former president and promoter of the Alaska Central railroad, and his four co-defendants, all interested in the de velopment of the road, were found not guilty in the federal court Sunday of conspiracy to illegally obtain control of millions of dollars' worth of coal lands in the Matanuska valley, Alaska. The jury took more than seventeen hours to reach a decision. Disputes over the methods of coal claim locators caused the land to be withdrawn from entry during Presi dent Roosevelt's last administration. Frost and his associates were indicted March 16, 1911, in the United States district court charged with conspiracy to obtain control of sixty-four coal lo cations by means of "dummy entry' p t I41 men." The government asserted that doors except a pottery which was run the railroad promoters caused stenog-1 ning full force. The street cars were raphers and other employees to apply operated as usual during the morning ior coai tanas iron me purpose oi turning the entire group over to Frost. The verdict, while a v'ndication of the business methods of the defend ants, does not open the way for the completion of the railroad, as the coal lands still are withdrawn from entry and will remain so until released by the department of the interior.

Has ALL PROPERTY IS PROTECTED Enough Workmen Left to Handle Machinery. Many Flock to France Temporary Occupation. for Brussels, Belgium, April 14. The vast political strike, planned by the Belgian socialist trade unions, began at dawn today, the first workmen to take part in the movement were the night shifts of the mines and mills through out the country. They left the vari ous plants in charge of a few care takers, told off by the socialist lead ers to keep the property from deterior ating. At least 250,000 men laid down their tools during the morning. There were numerous exceptions to the general walkout in many districts, however. The strike is complete in such places j as the mining districts, but is scarcely I discernible in some localities. In Brussels Itseir the striKe must be looked for in order to be found. Probably one-fourth of the workmen engaged In the suburban factories did not report for work today. The so cialist committee here estimated at 11 o'clock that 20,000 men had struck in the capital. Reports from the provinces tell of complete or nearly complete stoppage of work at Liege, Charleroi, Mons, La Louviere and smaller cities. At Mons there are 40,000 and at La Louviere 26, 000, most of them belonging to the metal carriaga building and tobacco trades. At the great seaport of Antwerp the strike did not appear un til late in the day and then only af fected a part of the dock laborers. If the commands of the organizers of the agitation are heeded, the men will refrain from acts of violence. Indeed, the workers have promised that men will be furnished to pump the mines, keep the blast furnaces going and other- ise protect property so that when the strike is ended an Immediate re sumption of work can be begun. The government, however, is taking no chances, and as a precaution against possible disorders, has stationed troops at strategic points in case or need. Thousands of women and children have been sent out of the country by the workmen bo they may not suffer. The strike leaders say they have $3, 000,000 with which to carry on the movement. The respective forces have prepar ed for the strike. The government has n.assed soldiers at all strategic points in the kingdom, but is keeping them out of sight as much as possible and altogether is displaying desire to avoid anything that could be regard ed as provocative. Food and Entertainment for Strikers. Socialist leaders have arranged to entertain the strikers and assist them with food. Ghent already has been divided into four districts, in each of which soup and bread will be distrib uted. Among other Socialist devices to raise funds for the strikers Is to be a sale of books of prose and poetry to which contributions already have been made by distinguished authors, including Annatole France, Maeter linck and others. Charleroi, Belgium, April 14. The suspension of work at the coal mines in this district was complete tnis morning. Sufficient men remained at their posts to keep the machinery in good order and the pumps working. The metal workers of the vicinity have onlv partially quit their employ ment but it is understood tomorrow the remainder of the men in this trade will lay down their tools. Attempts to Cut Telegraph Wires. La Louviere Belgium, April 14. The miners strike here was general this morning. All the factories closed their as the strike of the motormen ana con ductors were timed to begin at 7 o'clock this evening. Some attempts were made early today to cut telegraph wires in the vicinity. Antwerp, April 14. The strike has not affected this port in any way. Work on the docks and everywhere else in the city continued as usual this morning. Ghent, April 14. The potteries in this neighborhood are all silent today, but in the linen and cotton mills more than half the hands remained at work. The metal workers all went out but a few cement mixers still are at" work. Liege. April 14. Work ceased this morning in the greater number of the industrial concerns here and in the surrounding suburbs. It is estimated that only 1.400 work men remained at their machines. In the National Arms factory at Herstal the strike was complete. All the coal miners in this district have stopped work. Mons, Belgium, April 14. Of the 83,000 coal miners in this district all have quit their work except 2,000 who are keeping the machinery running. All the machine shops potteries and other factories are idle. Queiverain, Belgium. April 14. Everything is closed here. Half the workmen have gone over the frontier into France to find temporary occupa-: tion. Tournal, Belgium, April 14. The stoppage of work here today was only partial in the quarries and coal mines. At the -factories nearly the full com plement of workers went into the shops. Antwerp, April 14. Although the strike did not appear to affect this port in any "way this morning there was a partial suspension of work by the dock laborers later in the day. The movement also extended to other branches. Everything is quiet. Charleroi, April 14. Twenty strikers were arrested here today for Intsrfer ing with workers. The total number on strike in this city is 60,000 out of 79,000 employed in the various trades. CA3IPBELL WON DEBATE.

I7ncle Sam Offers Medals to Farm Pupils' Essays on Good Roads. Washington, April 14. A gold medal to the school boy or girl between the ages of 10 and 15 who writes the best composition, not to exceed 800 words, on the repair and maintenance of earth roads, is to be awarded by Logan Waller Page, director, office of public roads, United States department of ag riculture, Washington, D. C. All com positions must be submitted to Mr. Page before May 15, 1913, and the medal will be awarded as soon there after as the compositions can be grad ed. The composition may be based on knowledge gained from books or other sources, but no quotations should be made. After many vears' experience In dealing with the public road situation of the country, it is Mr. Page's belief that ignorance on the subject of re pair and maintenance of roads is as much the cause of their bad condition as any other one factor. It is expect ed that the competition will bring about a better understanding of the subject of repair and maintenance in the rural districts. Many children living in the rural districts have experienced the disad vantages of roads made impassable through a lack of proper maintenance and it is expected that their interest in the competition will stimulate great er interest among the parents. Bad roads have prevented many children irom obtaining a proper education and have even prevented doctors from reaching the side of rural patients in time to save their lives. Any child between the ages men tioned, attending a country school, may compete. Only one side of the paper must be written on; each page should be numbered; the name, age and ad dress of the writer, and the name and location of the school which he or she is attending must be plainly written at the top of the first page. "The an nouncement of the competition has been sent to the superintendents of schools in the rural districts. No' fur ther information can be obtained from the office of public roads. This an nouncement should be plain to every one, and all children will thus start on a basis of equality. FIGHT ON GLOVE DUTY Thousands in pemonstration Parade at GloversviUe, New York.

Confectioners and bakers who use old eggs and deal ers who try to sell such eggs to un suspecting consumers were warned by the city's department of health today that traffic in "rots and spoils" must cease. Five dealers have recently been fined $25 to $100 each for using that sort of eggs in bakery products. "Rots and spoils" are eggs so de cayed, mildewed and foul that they are almost ready to explode, said the health department announcement.

Finds 7 Little Dissension In Ranks of Democrats. FEW CHANGES IN TARIFF Bates Farored by Wilson Like ly Will Carry. Senate Leaders Pledged Sup port to Provisions. Washington, April 14. President Wilson emerged from the first week of the special session of congress appar ently in a stronger position as the ac tive leader of Democracy than at any time since he assumed the presidency. Within the brief space of seven days he had won a. victory in the cau cus of house Democrats for his free sugar program; had formed a work ing agreement with the Democratic leaders of the senate, which it is be lieved will Insnr. crAnm.nl siinnnrt cf I. 1 1 his tariff program in that body; and "u csutuiiBiieu preceaenea oi presi dential co-operation with congress which, if successful, are expected greatly to influence legislation throughout the Wilson administra tion. Tariff Fight Only Is Begun. The tariff revision fight admittedly is only begun; but the developments of the past week have convinced par ty leaders that there are likely to be few changes in the rates favored by the president; and little dissension within the Democratic ranks over the final approval of the bilL The wool fight will come in the house caucus early this week. While a Democratic minority organization of forty or more representatives will at tempt to upset the president's free wool program, it is said 'that the ad ministration will be sustained by a large majority, as it was in the' fight on the sugar tariff provision yester day. Senate leaders have pledged to the president their support of the sugar and wool provisions as finally adopted by the house. It is believed the. at tempted organization between oppo nents of free sugar and free wool in the senate will not acquire sufficient strength to alter the bill. The fuU Democratic membership of the house will resume consideration of the tariff behind closed doors today with the prospect of another week's fight before the Underwood bill comes out with the seal of party approval. Agricultural duties will be taken up first tomorrow, and representatives of farming districts are planning a hard fight against some of the more severe reductions. Republicans AVork on Substitutes. Republican members of the house ways and means committee are now working on substitute cotton and wool schedules. The Republicans, will have another -caneus Thursday night for fur ther discussion of the tariff. .Preparation of currency reform leg islation is to move slowly, because of the agreement between the president ana congressional directors of finan cial legislation that it shall not inter fere with the tariff revision. A series of hearings probably will open soon under the direction of the senate bank ing and currency committee. Alaskan railroad legislation which is also to be the subject of senate hear ings, will be pressed for early action. Senator Fittman, chairman of the terri torities committee, will attempt to have an Alaskan government railroad bill passed through the senate before tariff revision is 'taken up there. Little legislative work Is expected from either branch of congress during the next week. Senate members are devoting themselves to a study of-the tariff in preparation for the work they must do upon it. TODAY'S MIRKET REPORT. Chciago, April 14.

Pitchers Worked Well; Rapps Team Couldn't Hit. Chinese College Team With Kaws Wednesday Afternoon. TOPTTA. DATT.T STATE JOURTTAI-MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1913. Inability to hit the offerings of Cochreham and Fullerton caused the defeat of Bill Rapps team Sunday af ternoon. The Gears hit Hornsby and Rustenhaven for timely nine hits and cored 6 runs. 0s win It J Hal Rustenhaven, Kaw Pitcher, Re turned to Old Form. Crist led off in the third inning and singled to right, he stole second and scored when Cochran hit to left field for a double. Cochran was pinched while trying to stretch the hit for three bases. Snapp led off in the fifth for a single and scored on Crist's triple to right, Crist scored on Reynolds' single. Lee got free transportation in the sixth, stole second and scored on Gear's single through third base. They got their last runs in the eighth when Forsythe beat out an infield hit and scored on MeLarry's homer over the right field fence. The Rapps got their only runs in the fourth inning. French was safe on Cochran's error, stole second and scored on Rapps single to right. Rapps went to second when they attempted to pinch French at the plate. Billings went out from Gear to McLarry. Rapps started for third and McLarry threw the ball In the bleachers allowing Rapps to score. Cochreham, Fullerton, Hornsby and Rustenhaven pitched the game. The performance of this quartette causes one to believe that Gear has recruited a pitching staff that will cause trouble In the Western league. All of them worked well and appeared to be in good condition. Hornsby did not work his spitter as frequently as usual and this accounts for the success of Gear's team. The Rapps team got but three hits, the first baseman got two and French got the other. The score: GEAR'S TEAM. Players AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Three var sity track records were broken here In the interclass track meet. Bonnie Re ber, the freshman who has broken both the shotput and discus records in prac tice officially broke the shotput record by heaving the weight 41 feet 5 inches. The former record of 39 feet 8 inches was made by Beaman In 1899. Reber made 13 individual points 'in the meet. He will receive a "K."' The last time a freshman achieved this feat was when Tod Woodbury broke the high Jump record. Captain Patterson lowered the mile run record of 4.38 set by Guthrie in 1908 to 4.36.3. Hazen lowered his own record for the high hurdles of 16 flat to 15.4, this rec ord being within two seconds of the world s record. C .TO"1 JS NOW YOU'LL BE GOOD. Recruit Got Fresh With "Brick' Owens; Didn't Last Long. The Boston Red Sox have a very promising young pitcher on the pay roil, who is inclined to be fresh, if we are to believe all the reports that came from the training camp of the Boston ians. The name of the young man in question is Foster, and the American Leaeue umpires had better beware. Foster worked against the Pirates and showed up in fine style. In fact, he made such a good impression on Manager Jake Stahl that he is almost certain to be carried for a time at least- In one of the games with the Pirates he thought Umpire "Brick" Owens had missed a strike on him in a pinch. In a sneering manner he remarked: "The umpires in the Texas league call those strikes." "You're not in the Texas league now," bellowed Owens. "I wish I was as far as the umpir ing is concerned," shot back the Lone Star state recruit. "You should not worry," replied Owens. "If what you are serving up today is a fair sample you will be back with the Texas league umpires before the 10th of April." Mr. Foster made no further out breaks during the rest of the game. UNIVERSITY THE VICTOR. Chinese 7Nwm of Hawaii Which Will Play the Kaws Here Wednesday., Defeat College of Emporia by 7 to 3 Score. Lawrence, April 14. Coach Frank's Jayhawkers cleaned up the College of Emporia by a 7 to 3 score Saturday at Emporia. Bishop, the big Kansas twirler, struck out eight men, and allowed four hits. The game was easy money for Kansas from the start. Bishop keeping them from first with out any trouble. Kansas collected six hits during the game. This is the third straight victory for Kansas and the hopes of tne residents of Mount Oread are running high. The team looks awfully good to Frank also.

lan are all with the club and all art likely to figure in the regular lineup. How'd you like to record over the wirt one of these complicated run-down plays like this: Donlin to Doolan to Dooin to Dolan to Doolan to Dooin to Doolan to Doolan to Dooin? Some odd bets are being placed on the Cubs this season. One, especially, that Roger Bresnahan will be manage! of the team by the Fourth of July. Tomorrow Is the last day to send your guess to Baseblll Editor, Stat Journal, on the paid attendance at th opening game next Friday for the sea son pass to be given away, by thl paper. Hank O'Day. who according to In formation emanating from the office of Ban Johnson, signed a contract to um pire for the American League for tlM coming season, is not on Johnson's schedule of arbitrator assignments for the opening day, and the American League president said he could not understand how the story that O'Day had signed got out. Lincoln News: McCullough, one of Dale Gear's recruit pitchers, is a comer and he will wind up a regular on the Topeka slabbing staff. McCul lough hails from the Hastings club of the Nebraska State League. Watson, another ex-Nebraska leaguer with the Hastings pennant winners last season, may make good at the second sack for St. Joseph. Pa Rourke also has three graduates of the Nebraska circuit in Pitchers Closman and Kingdon and Infielder Nefl. Seven players were released by the Kansas City bosses. Ruth, an infield er, was sold to the Grand Rapids team of the Central League; Everdon, 8 pitcher, was released to the York team of the Nebraska State League: Mears, a pitcher, was returned to the Mis soula, Mont., team, and Pitchers Bran dom, Rauft and Palber and Third Baseman Henry got their uncondition al release. Lincoln News: .Although Jack Hol land's St. Joseph club starts the spring training season shy the services ol such sterling pastimers as Bill Borton, Ray Powell. John Gossett, Barney Reil ly and Winnebago Johnson, the Joe town boss announces that his team will line up April 18 opening day aa the strongest, most evenly balanced ag gregation that has represented th Oh. the troubles of the -scorers and Missouri town since its return to th the telegraph operators at Philadelphia j O'Neill league. Either Jack Is kidding this season, or on the road with Locke's or he figures on the return of sotnl array! Dooin. Dolan, Donlin and Doo- of his lost stars by the majors. The White Sox left St. Joe In dis gust; not that they were not royally entertained in Drummerville, but be cause they lost two days of practice. Added to this they dropped a game to the Hollanders with Walsh in the box. Isbell and Holland had a bum bunch when they elected to train at home. The Drummers are about as chesty as they make 'em since they took the White Sox into camp with Ed Walsh in the box. Little Dick Crutcher was the hero of the occasion. There cer tainly is a lot of satisfaction for the minors when a major league bunch is humbled. And by the same taken your average big show boss would rather have anything happen than have his team beaten ,by the bushers, as the minors are known on the big time. Cy Young, of Sioux City, Is picked for the opening game with Omaha be cause he is going in the finest possible shape and because he has made a re quest that he be allowed to do the opening day honors. In the exhibition contests against Rourke's men the elongated hurler has looked the goods. From their showing in the four games the players fed confident of taking the Omahogs into camp in at least one of the battles to be played before they go to St. Joe. Modesty forbids them to claim any more. The success of the St. Joseph Booster club has stimulated interest in baseball all over the circuit and in all the West ern League cities the fan organization back of the Drummers is regarded as a worthy example. There are 2.000 members of the organization, the strongest of the kind in the world. A meeting was held in Wichita for the purpose of organizing a Booster club on the plan of the St. Joseph club. The chief slogan of the Jobber Boosters will be "Swat the Knocker." As has been expected for some time Charley Wheatley, formerly of St. Joe, has been notified of his release in the near future by the Detroit club. It is probable that a berth will be obtained for him on the Providence team of the International league. Wheatley showed up as well as any of the re cruit pitchers in the Tiger training camp, but Jennings was overstocked with veterans and he tied the can to most of the younger hurlers. Wheatley looked so good at Detroit last fall, af ter leaving the Drummers, that Ty Cobb called him a real comer.

The discussion of the tariff bill in congress is not likely to disturb greatly the mind of the average citizen. Few persons have made a study of the question and the majority have been content to take their views from those members of their own political party who claim to know all about it. Hence it is that generally speaking, a man has been a protectionist because he is a Republican and not a Republican because he is a protectionist. Or on the other hand because he is a Demo crat, he has been convinced that a tariff for revenue only, is the proper thing. If any party had dared to advo cate absolute free trade, probably It would have also attracted a consider able following. On one phase of the question the people appear to have become more nearly united than ever before, and that is that there should be a reduction of duties. The country has had high tariffs and higher tariffs, but no gen eral reduction. It is too much to expect, says the Boston Traveler, that a party's tariff policy will be in line with its tariff promises. A Republican pledge to re vise the tariff did not mean what It seemed to mean, and led to President Taft's downfall. He accepted what was handed to him by the tariff experts of his party. President Wilson is not accepting as final a tariff bill .from Democratic ex perts. He prepares the tariff bill or revises it. In other words, he is the boss, and he is on the job. The Wil son bill is now before congress. It is not what was expected: it is not ex actly what was promised, but it is gen uine tariff revision, and it is downward. Give the bill a fair chance after in telligent consideration. That is the opinion of the people, without much regard to political affiliations- If there are to be good times and great glory for the Democracy in tariff re vision, let them have it. If there are to be bad times and ignominy for the Democracy in the measure now pend ing, they will reap what the presi dent is sowing. THE SETBACK IX MICHIGAN. There seems to be a tendency, espe cially on the part of the eastern press, to attribute recent defeats of woman suffrage to. the antics of Mrs. Pank- hurst and her crowd. It is but a lame excuse for the men wno aisiiKe to surrender any share In the control of public affairs. The real cause of the adverse vote in Michigan probably was the active opposition of the liquor interests. The reason for the alarm of the brewers and distillers when it is proposed to give votes to women is not apparent. Among the nine states where equal suffrage prevails only one, Kansas, has a prohibitory law and that waa on the statute book when the franchise was granted. In Colorado where woman suffrage was a part of the organic act, a pro hibitory amendment was defeated last year by a majority approximately 40,000. Are not the liquor men need lessly alarmed? But justice in the matter of the bal lot is only retarded and not defeated. Women will go on voting where they can and holding office in many places where they can't vote. New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Washington, Minneapolis, Columbus, Cambridge, Denver, Grand Rapids, Fall River, Rochester, Worcester and St. Paul all have one or more able representative women on their boards of education. County school superintendents are many tf them women. California has placed them at the head of school af fairs in twenty counties. Colorado has done even better with 43. Iowa has 44 woman county school superintend ents. Kansas 49, Nebraska 42, New Tork 42, Kentucky 20, North Dakota 24 and South Dakota 28. Many other states have them in lesser number, bringing up the total to 495. OOSTRASTS AND PARALLELS. The claim of the Bull Moosers that they are the only pure dyed-in-the-wool Lincoln Republicans is given a severe jolt by Francis E. Leupp in an article printed in the Atlantic Month ly. In comparing the new organiza tion and the old, he says: The early steps of the Republican party, and those of her offspring, sug gest some parallels, but quite as many contrasts. Both parties were heralded as expressing the highest hopes of hu manity in things political. Both were baptized in a flood of quasi-religious zeal.' with a free paraphrasing of Holy Writ and a loud voicing of the emo tions of the hour in outbursts of pray er and praise. Both welcomed into their infant circle all sorts and condi tions of men. .A Cameron and a Hoar foregathered in 1856 with much en thusiasm; and in 1912 the stalwart bass of a Flinn and the gentle treble of an Addams blended in the militant war song, "Onward, Christian sol diers!" But the Republican party owed its origin to no accident of politics! It was not organized for the special pur pose of beating somebody it didn't like; its chief component was not a branch of the Whig party which had been worsted in a contest for control; it did not adopt its leadsr first and its. chart of action later. It was a union of elements which, after years of patient argument, stir ring appeal and earnest deliberation, had concluded that an independent movement offered them their only hope of achieving the .aims they had cherished so long. The leader was nat urally evolved from the movement. whose chief promoters had other men in mind when they began their work. Above all, the Republican platform of, 185$ waa a model of dignified sim plicity, in vivid contrast with the om-nium-gatherum quality of the Progres sive platform of '1912, and, indeed, with the overloaded and diffusive platforms on which the older party has placed some of Its candidates in recent years.

Love makes the world go round, we are told. Well, so does any other intoxicant. The stronger the draught, the more diz zily the world revolves, and the sadder the sobering up process. "The Chinese girl doesn't know her husband until she is married to him," a returned missionary solemnly Informed an American club woman. "Neither did I," answered the clubwoman. The increase of divorces Is proof that what she said in jest, many are finding sober truth. Schopenhauer argued with profound pessimism that love was only the physical attraction of opposltes. He would, were he alive, take grim pleasure in watching the procession of people who, grown distasteful to each other after a few years of married life, pass through our divorce courts, furnishing an argu ment not available to his day. I wonder how largely the fault Is with the hazy idea that most young folks have of marriage. The average girl gets her notion of It from reading how he bent and kissed her poor bruised hand. An author who might tell how, six months later, he laid abed while she, still suffer ing from nervous headache of the night before, built the nre, noia no attraction for the average girl. The girl who is a bride learns two things, therefore, after marriage. One is the manner of man she has married, and the other is marriage. And both lose glamour. In the man, the little peculiar ities and selfishnesses she glossed over when they were only engaged, loom large and irritate when they become dally rou tine. As for marriage well, it's different. This is the critical time. She feel cheat ed. She does not know that hers is the common lot, for while she has been told that marriage Is serious, she has not been told that it is likely to start with a period of reaction and readjustment. As a re sult she is rebellious. It is here that divorce becomes a me nace, because it suggests a way of escape. As a result she does not make the same effort to snatch happiness from the wreck of her illusions as did her mother and her grandmother, who never consid ered such escape. In some states this is being taken into consideration, and courts of "reconcilia tion" are taking the place of courts of divorce. But why should they be neces sary? The answer is tnat tney snouian t. -T, wouldn't, if mothers would warn nrhteni. and for that matter sons, .hat marriage means In the way of mutual concession.

THE EVENING STORY Old Birds. By Martha McCulloch-Williams.) "That child is the beat of every thing," Miss Patsy solUoquized, flick ing her fat pony with a preach tree switch, and settling herself afresh In saddle. "The Idea of tellin' Nicholas Joe she wouldn't say neither yes ner no to him until I had come and talked things over with her. She's b round to know I'm tickled clear to my tiptoes at the thought of her In the family. Who wouldn't be? blood and breedin' and all sorts of pretty ways, not to name bein' her Pap's oi-ly child, and him the richest man in the district iiur an tnat cfiina. ana silver sue gui from her grandmammy. I say and I'd say if it was somebody else Jest same Nicholas-Joe might hunt the world over, and not find nobody to match Mildred Heath." By this time she was at the Heath horse block. Mildred stood upon it In eager welcome, her pretty arms out stretched to go 'round Miss Patsy's neck, her eyes dancing, her red Hps smiling their most coaxing smile. In a trice she had Miss Patsy established in the big rocker, a footstool at her feet, a fan in her hand, a plate of cake and pitcher of lemonade on the stand beside her. When Squire Heath looked In on them in passing through the hall she shook a dainty fist at him, bidding him go along. Miss Patsy felt the least bit aggrieved at that she had counted on a bit of talk with him as the only rarmer better than herself in the ranks of her acquaintance. He loved land the same as she did and used it even better. Therefore, he commanded not only her respect, but her warm friend liness. Still, she reflected there would be other afternoons indeed, If things went as they should, there would soon be an approach to a united family. Mildred wasn't dne to neglect her dear daddy Nicholas Joe wouldn't let her, even If she had the mind. "Now, I want to get the straight of all this," Miss Patsy said, trying to speak severely after her third slice of cake. It was mighty fine cake as good as she herself could make, al though Mildred had modestly demurred when she had said so. The girl was motherless and appeal ing. 'She pushed a. cushion to Miss Patsy's feet, sunk down on it and laid her head upon a cushiony knee. For a minute she was silent, as though gathering courage, then in a faint voice piped: "I love Nicholas-Joe best of all the world." "You darlin'!" Nicholas-Joe's aunt cried, hugging the bowed figure. "So you're goin' to marry him after all and make me happy enough to shout." "I want to," Mildred piped, still in that faint voice, "but but I it will have to be as you say "Then It will surely be," Miss Patsy interrupted, beaming. "Why. honey, I couldn't ask the good Lord for nothin' better than Jest to sit back and watch you two together happier"n birds." "We would be O, so happy," Mil dred breathed. "Only, you see, it is this way: Nichola- is everything nice a man can be only he's a cow ard." "What!" Miss Patsy sat up stiffly, lifting Mildred's head so that she could look in her face. "Coward! Why, thar ain't a drop of coward's blood in him not In any Lindsay that ever I heard of. Never one but was ready to fight at the drap of a hat if only thar was anything worth fightln for. Look at the revolutionary sword, at the com mission from 1812, at the gun from Mexico and the empty gray coats all we got back of five that went out in '61 "I know I know I didn't mean it that way," Mildred said, rising and putting her arms about Miss Patsy' neck. "But I told the truth Nicholas- Joe Just can't tell you the truth he knows It would hurt you so to hear he don't want to stay here on the farm but to go and practice law In town. You know how he loves it, and what a mark he made at school' "My soul!" Miss Patsy ejaculated. "But what has that got to do with me? Do you want me to tell him flat he shan't go?" "No -rather that he may go with your blessing. But I know he won't do it- if you are to be left lonesome. Not any more than I'd go and leave daddy now -don't you begin to see what you must do?" "Indeed, I don't," Miss Patsy said, with, however a suspicious heighten ing of color. Mildred laid a soft cheek to hers, whispering: "I can't bear the thought of leaving him with nobody but Mammy and Tlge and Billy and Unc' Rube to look after him I think some times they are more bother than help "And you're right," Miss Patsy broke in. "My patience! I wonder- ed often how you stood the pack of 'em so many, they're in each other's rway and each waitin' on the other to do the least thing "But daddy has to have somebody you don't know how helpless he is," Mildred purred. "He never puts away a thing and, if he does,- always for gets where and has to hunt the house over. And he likes nice things to eat the sort you always have and and he' likes you ever so much. That's why he's willing Nicholas-Joe should have me told me only last light you had raised him better than any other boy in the county "You hush!" Miss Patsy cried, her cheeks by this time being scarlet. "You know I can't take the squire to board neither come here and house keep for him! Lawsy! The talk it would make!" "But yo can come here and-t and marry htm and by my very own dear aunty mothes" Mildred cooed. Miss Patsy sank back almost faint ing. "He he'd never think to ask me, she wnisperea, nair to nerseii, but Mildred heard her. "You will have to help him, i she said'-softly. "You know as well as I that's what all of us have to do." "You little wretch!" Miss Patsy Cried. "I've a great mind to box your ears--talkin' to me this- way. Don't you dare ever say another such word:" "Then I shall have to say no! Poor Nicholas-Joe! It will break his heart I'm afraid. I know he won't leave you and I more than know .1 won't leave my daddy," Mildred gur gled. Miss Patsy sighed deeply. "If If you chlldren'll marry we might all of us live together," she began. Mildred smiled mournfully. "Im possible," she said. "You see. Aunty Pat, I want to live In town the same as my sweetheart If we can't. If we must stay here and be mlserabl why, we'll be miserable for fair, a the boys say. "I donit want anybody to b. miserable," Miss Patsy said unstead ily. "Then let's both say yes." Mildred whispered, craftily. "Daddy only needs the least little chance to ask you and I won't ever, ever tell him of our bargain "Won't eh?" Squire Heath said coming in through the side door. Unseen he had listened to tne col loquy. chuckling deeply the while. Approaching Miss Patsy he took her hand, and carried it gallantly to his lips, saying: "I think this mad-cap daughter of mine has a wise head af ter all. We old birds will be mighty lonesome after our youngsters have left the nest so why not keep eacn other company?' "I I don't know what to say," Mies Patsy faltered. Mildred had vanish ed. The squire took both Miss Patsy's hands, drew her close and said sortiy: "Say you love me. I've loved you a long time without knowing It. I knew all the time," Miss patsy j whispered, letting her hand lie In his. Love laughs at years even more than locksmiths these autumnal lovers had faces bright enough for the brightest May.

Whenever Old Doc "has a honm' for city grub," which is not often, he comes to town to see roe. We had reached dessert upon this particular occasion and my guest had ordered apple Die. "Don't do It. Doc" I urged. "You know not what vou do." "But I'm hungry for apple pie," said he. "Not for this kind." said I. "Chefs don't know how to make pie." But Doc would not be warned. He repeated his order and admonished the supercilious tip-taker to "bring a big hunk of cheese. Later Doc surveyed the huge drab slab of discouraged-looking fruit and dough, cut off a bit with bis fork, tasted -and shouted to the waiter to "take it away." I laughed, but Doc, as solemn as an owl, launched one of his homilies. "You're correct," be said. "You're dead right. Chefs just naturally don't know how to make pie. But that ain't half of the horrible truth. Nobody seems to know how to make apple pie in these degenerate days. There's a hear more to real apple pie than ap ples cooked and seasoned just right and crust just brown enougn ana just crisp enough. I admit that perfect apple rie, speaking gastronomically, is a marvel and one of the wonders of the world, but that merely begins to tell the story "The apple pie days are gone, and with 'em the apple pie ideals. I guess I'm getting old. I'm behind the times, dead in the shell, crossgrained and distempered. I plead guilty to any other indictment of that kind you'll bring against me.

Close your eyes for a minute and let your mind drift back to Puckyhuddle as it was in the days when you and I were boys together. Can't you see that trim and youthful, ruddy-faced, sweet and happy crea ture that was your mother surveying with pride that smiling row of apple pies on the top pantry shelf Can't you see them, brown and Juicy, cut in to accurate quarters, waiting lor tne ecstatic moment when your father would ask. 'Mother, isn't there some pie for these hungry young 'uns?' What a joy it was to sink your teeth into a piece of that pie! How the sweet and cinnamoned fruit start ed the anticipatory waters of the mouth! How the crust melted against your palate! Apple pie was a Words worth poem it was a thing of beauty, a joy in anticipation, in the mouth, and in memory. There was not a spell of Indigestion in a dozen of 'em; neither did they jade the palate nor af flict the conscience. "They were made by women who sang over their work, who were help meets and who lived to enrich the world with goodly children, who cared little for fashions and much for the virtues, who were as good and clean and pure in thought and deed as ap ple pie! Their pleasures were of the simple, whole-hearted kind. They knew little about ragtime, but much of lullabies and children's prayers. They are ignorant of the one-step, the Texas Tommy and the bunny hug, but they knew their Bibles and their du ties. They thought nothing of higher thought and queer religions, and suf fragette movements, but they were mothers in Israel, who lived In the fear of the Lord and moved in beauty and obedience in the sight of men.

It will go into effect at the specified time, and it can not be questioned un til some shipment of liquor have been seized under Its provisions and the shipper has brought suit to re cover. If it is in Kansas, the action will be brought In the federal court for the district of Kansas. The fed-' era! Judge will uphold the law or he will nronounce it unconstitutional. It makes no difference which way he i decides. because the defeated party will appeal to the United State, su- Dreme court. Undoubtedly the ease will be care fully prearranged. The llquour Inter ests of the country, distillers, brewers and wholesalers will back some ship ment into some prohibition state and the officers at the point of entry will seize the shipment, and the case will be on. It should be arranged so as to cover all points, because the courts do not pass upon hypothetical cases. For the layman to decide this case would be presumption, but as congress has many competent lawyers In Its membership. It Is fair to presume that they believe the law constitu tional. It is true that legislators sometimes pass doubtful laws up to the president, but they would not force the issue by passing such meas ure over his veto. By so doing they go on record as believing their course the honest one. 8o It is fair to say that congress believes the law good, and Kansas believes that the supreme court will be sure of Its logio before It opens forbidden territory to out lawed Imports. That congress passed the law over the veto Is convincing evidence that the entire country is coming over to the Kansas view that intoxicating li quors are an evil which each state should be permitted to handle, as it handles gambling and the social eviL Wichita Beacon. -WHERE JOBS ARE NEEDED. The defeat of Dr. W. W. Minnlck for mayor of Wichita is another evidence of the municipal unrest which Is well grounded in the very nature of that city. When the commission form of govern ment was first adopted, there J. H. Gra ham was elected mayor, defeating pr. Minnlck. The elements of discontent be came so strong In a short time that the recall was used on Or sham by disap pointed office seekers and he was recalled, Minnlck being elected. Now, only elsht een months later, Mlnniek is defeated by W. J. Babb and many voters were placed in the rather ridiculous attitude of op posing Mlnniek as strongly as they fought for him a few months ago. Wichita Is a town where city politics has been allowed to go to seed. Almost every voter out there Imagines he is a politician and thinks he carries his neigh borhood vote in his vest pocket. There ar at least twenty-five active office seek ers for every municipal Job and there will be no relief from the political unrest until the commission can devise some system or creating more Jobs. This Is the only hope any mayor tuere can have of serving out his allotted term. Independence Reporter. FROM OTHER PENS CAUSE OF THE FLOODS. In speculating about the unknown causes of natural phenomena one the ory is quite as good as another until It is disproved. So the explanation of fered by Mr. C. L. Riker, an engineer and meteorologist, for the recent tor nadoes In the south and west and for the floods in Ohio and Indiana is In teresting. He attributes those disturbances to the cold Labrador current between the coast and the warm Gulf stream, from the surface of which rises moist, warm air that haa a tendency to move westward. It is like a great wet blan ket above us, until condensed by the Labrador current or by the counter current of air that flows from the coast toward the Gulf stream. The wet blanket would get as far west as the Rockies If its initial heat carried it high enough to resist the Influence of the cold currents, but the nearer the blanket is to the earth the more It Is affected by the wind cur rents beneath, which cause "precipi tation and great or sudden changes of barometric or atmospherio pressure; the heavy blanket is Indented or punc tured, and this induces still greater disturbances." That may account for excessive rainfall in some regions, but It Is very difficult for a layman to understand. without further explanation, the con nection between the Labrador current and the storms that start down Texas way. Mr. Riker does not explain. He believes, however, that if congress creates the proposed Labrador current a-d Gulf stream commission the weather bureau will in time be able to improve its predictions.

All these people were at their homes when the theft took place and it was done so quietly that notn ing was known of it until the next morning.

An auto truck loaded with 1,200 quarts of nitroglycerine, weighing three tons, stands at the side of the road crossing the interurban railroad west of this city. It was left there by the driver, who hauls nitroglycerine for oil well drillers between Chanute and Baxtles ville. Bad roads at this point made it impossible for him to get the truck over the interurban tracks when he got stuck. He took Jim Clay and six; horses out and tried to get it across but was unable to do so. He gave it up as a had job and went back to Bartlesville. It is on the Union Trac tion right of way and the company has been notified, as has also Lrastua Surber. The truck loaded with the high ex plosive is a menace to the neighbor hood, and some action, it is expected, will be taken promptly.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OTOlTAIr MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1913., CITY ASKS1 5,000 Street Railway Co. Forfeit Bond in Aboye Sum. 1 Failure to Complete Extensions in Agreed Time. The city of Topeka Is demanding $15,000 from the Topeka Street rail way for failure to fulfill an ordinance passed March 24, 1910. providing that certain extensions be completed with in three years' time.

The Title Guaranty and Surety company supplied bond of $15,000. The ordinance provided that the extensions of lines mentioned be constructed and fully completed three years after the passage of the ordin ance. The time expired March 24, 1913, although the matter was not taken up by the city commission until April 14. The city attorney made the follow ing suggestion this morning: "The Railway company and the Surety companv should be notified im mediately that the time and the bond have expired; that the city expects them to live up to the bond; and shall endeavor to secure it by every means In their power." Commissioner Bone, approved by the commission, moved that Mr. Rals ton be instructed to notify the railway and the bonding company of the ex piration of the note and the further fact that the city would expect to pro tect its rights to the fullest extent in tViA m af tor In order o extend the lines the street railway company must procure a new franchise. This Albert Patten refuses to do. "It's either litigation or extension, paid Mr. Patten today, "one or the other, not both. We couldn't have the matter dragged through the courts and then go to the expense of pur chasing a new franchise. It's a ques tion in my mind whether the city can prove that it has sustained loss to the extent of $15,000. I have talked the matter over with my attorney, Mr. Doran. I've received no communica tion from the city as yet. but intend to discuss the matter with the com missioners as soon as possible. We have built extensions as fast as we could with the funds in hand done the best we could for the city." Among the lines which have not been built are: Clay street from Twelfth to Fourth: Eighth street from Clay to Summit; Kansas avenue from Seventeenth to Twenty-first; Fourth street from Kansas avenue to Jack son; Twelfth street from Madison to Kansas avenue, and Madison street from Fourth to Seventh. The ordi nance excepts the last three lines and various loops and side tracks. The line which has caused the most discussion and created the greatest intoi-oct ia the extension of the line on West Eighth street to one mile east of Gage's park. It was hoped that the extension would be in -the 'process of construction this spring. Gage s park should undoubtedly be in closer com munication with people who do not possess machines or motorcycles, i ne extension of the Kansas avenue line from Seventeenth to Twenty-first has also been requested many times. The Shorey line has been built in compliance with the ordinance, the Buchanan street extension, and the line extending on Fifteenth street west of Kansas avenue. NO SPECIAL SESSION.

MIGHT CHANGE LAW, President Wilson Thinks California. Legislation May Be Satisfactory. Washington, April 14. president Wilson talking informally today about pending land legislation in California construed by the Japanese government as offensive Indicated that since his last talk with Viscount Chinda. the ambassador from Japan, some changes had been made in the proposed laws which might quite solve the situation. The president added, how ever, he did not know Japan's view of the alterations. The president said he looked upon the situation as a local one and that other nations would not regard it as a general condition. He declared he had the im- DresHion that Janan understood the pe culiarities of the situation and did not think the Japanese government itself would take offense at the legislation as finally drafted. He thought the only fear was that a strong national feeling might be created in Japan, but he had not heard any intimations that Japan be lieved the United States government at fault. SILVER LAKE ROAD. It Is In Fine Shape and Autolsts Cov ered It Sunday. County Commissioner Frank B. Simms says the upper Silver Lake road never. was in better condition, and to prove that it is being used as a pleas ure drive he cites the fact that, in coming from Rossville yesterday after noon he met. by actual count, 71 auto mobiles, 28 vehicles of other kinds be sides "motorcycles galore." "The road is in the finest kind of shape," he declared today. "I never saw such a crowd out on it.

Iiondon Police Io Not Believe Mem phis Man Was Murdered. London, April 14. Mystery still sur rounds the disappearance of Joseph W. Martin, of Memphis, Tenn., who has been missing since April 3. Although the discovery of his torn pocketbook first suggested to the police that the American had been murdered and his body thrown Into the Thames, they are now inclined to the theory that he is still alive, but for some reason is keeping his whereabouts secret. The opera hat which the workman who picked up the pocketbook saw In the road has been turned over to the po lice by a boy. The hat was used by the boy and his companions as a foot bail and afterward put in a horse's nose bag where it remained until this morning. Roy Winner Married Saturday. Roy Winner, deputy county clerk, "put one over" on his office com panions and friends in general by slipping off last Saturday and getting married. The girl was Miss Lena Helm. They were married at Holton. Some time ago Winner told County Clerk Oscar Swayze that he was pret ty sure he would need to be away from the office last Saturday. Swayze did not even "smell a rat" but as sented. Winner took his day off and went to Holton. News of the wedding did not reach Topeka until some time after the ceremony had been per formed. This morning the bridegroom's desk is littered with little red hearts, made out of paper, with holes in them. A long string of them hangs from the ceiling and the window opposite his desk is adorned with them. Winner is on the job again. The couple will live at Rochester.

Application for a parole for Ed Ander son, serving life sentence in the Kansa3 prison for a murder committed in Neosho county IS years ago. Is being heard this afternoon in the governor's office. Many prominent men, as well as Warden Cod ding and several former wardens and tne judge and county attorney who tried the case, have recommended executive clem ency for Anderson It was in July, 1S95, that Anderson mur dered Swan Peterson, a Swede who lived on a farm near Savonsburg. Peterson was supposed to have considerable money and robbery was the motive for his murder at Anderson's hands. In a confession which Anderson made after his arrest, it was shown that he struck Peterson 0n the back of the head with a hatchet. Then he literally chopped the body of the mur dered man to pieces with an ax. After committing the crime, Anderson hid the body in a manger in Peterson's barn, stole a span of mules and drove away. Ten days after the killing, Anderson was arrested while plowing corn in a fieid four miles from the scene of the murder. At the time Anderson was a mere youth. He admitted the killing, but because there was doubt as to his sanity, a plea of guilty was not accepted. A jury, how ever, promptly louna ine young man guilty of first degree murder and he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Since his confinement in prison, Ander son has been an exemplary prisoner. Be cause of the confidence which has been placed in him, he is permitted to sleep in a little house outside the prison walls, and is on the rolls of the prison as guard of the horse barn. Many prominent Kan- sans, as well as representatives of Swed ish societies have urged a parole for An derson, but action was always deferred by former governors. Judge Jj. auiiweii, who sentenced Anderson, and S. C. Brown, who prosecuted the case, recom mended a parole. WALLACE MURDER CASE Court Spent Entire Day Getting a Jury. It is likely that the entire day will be required In the first division of the dis trict court in securing a jury to try An drew Wallace, charged with the murder of Mabel Morris. Both the prisoner and his alleged victim are colored. The jury who will try the case bids fair to consist entirely of white men, the ony colored man called Into the box this morning having been excused by the state on a peremptory challenge. He was more or less acquainted with the parties to the suit, but qualified for a juror. The state did not want him. Wallace is charged with having lured 16-year-old Mabel Morris to the Rock Island bridge, or that vicinity, about a year ago, where he is charged with hav ing assaulted her, strangled her and then thrown her body In the river. The body was recovered the night of April 30, 1912, just below the Sardou bridge, nine days after she had mysteriously disappeared. The body was in an advanced state of decomposition. Practically nothing but circumstantial evidence ia said to be available in the case. The state is examining the pros pective jurors carefully as to their feel ing toward circumstantial evidence, and ia insistinc: that each express himself as to his willingness to be convinced and return a verdict of guilty, if the evidence is con clusive, even though nothing but circui-.-stan-js are shown. The state is represented by County At torney William E. Atchison, Otis Hun gate E. R. Simon, Tne defense is repre sented by Otis Allen and J. E. Guy. Toe trial is expected to last all week. Three Want to Be County Jail Matron. Three applicants for the position of matron at the county jail were filed with the county board this morning. A. number more have signified their intention of applying, the commission ers declare.

The applicants today included Mrs. S. H. Abbott, Mrs. Emma J. Wilcox ana atrs. Lou V. Boyer, all of whom declare they believe they are qualified for the work. The applications merely were men. They will be acted upon later.

The matron will have charge of the wom en prisoners, aWd Will look after them in somewhat the same position as the ponce matron. ANDERSON WILL RESIGN Police Officer Just Wanted to Test Civil Service Law. Otto Anderson will tender his resign nation as plain clothes man to the mayor ana chief of police tomorrow. This announcement followed- closely on the heels of the officer's reinstate ment at the hands of the civil service board this morning. Anderson says he is entirely satisfied with the result of the hearing and the action of the Doara, and does not want to remain on the force. No definite action has been announced by Dan Carden and Rufus Frazier. the- other officers who were dismissed and were reinstated with Anderson. v Anderson will go into the automobile Dusiness as representative of the Buick. He is an old real estate man and says he feels sure he can sell automobiles. He has many friends among the offi cers and others, and is known as a good officer. "I went into the fight to test the civil service law," Anderson said this morn ing. "I am entirely satisfied." It was due to Anderson that the fight was made for reinstatement, the other officers having been ready to give up the fight. "It will help everybody to know where they are," Anderson says. "That's all I wanted." GUILTY OF FORGERY. Arthur P. Richardson of St. Louis Sent to Pen for Five Years. St. Louis, April 14. Arthur P. Richardson, former head of the Richardson Grain company, pleaded guilty to forgery in the circuit court today and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment.

He pleaded guilty to one. which charged him with forg ing a bill of lading for $250, to cover a shipment of 350 bags of corn from Mobile, ALa., to Cuba. The prosecut ing attorney consented to dismiss the other indictments. Meetings of Richardson's creditors two weeks ago led to the publication of a crisis in his financial affairs. Lat er he was expelled from the mer chants' exchange in which he had been a leading member. His illegal transactions, it is said involved $60,- 000 to $90,000. TABLET DIDN'T COUNT.

How Synge Gets His Material. No mere man of letters ever knew the life of the Irish peasant better than bynge. Books about Irish life do not ap pear to have Interested him. He went to the people themselves for his information. Wandering about the country with, his fiddle, he encountered some strange com panions farmers, tinkers, beggars, ballad singers a motley- crowd. He observed them closely, their mode of life, their manner of speech,' and what he saw he reported faithfully. Unlike the majority of writers on Ireland, he is entirely free from mawkishness or sentimentality. There is no Celtic glamout in these pages. The aged peasant in his whitewashed cabin who oe wails the conquest on an alien tongue, may possibly exist, but Synge does not appear to have met him. London Globe.

In spite of the fact that the coun ty board allows the county to pay for telephones installed in the private residences of the commissioners un der the plea that these telephones are necessary for the transaction of coun ty business, the board has refused to allow either the probate judge or the county attorney an extension in their offices, which would cost the county only 75 cents a month each. The telephone at Shimer's residence is a straight line, rated at $2.50 a month. Simms has an extension from his laundry phone in his resi dence, while Nipps has a party line phone, rated at $1.85 a month. In .the. office of the probate judge the extension is hot regarded as a necessity. Hugh MacFarland told the board so when the claim for the ad ditional charge for the extension was presented. But it is another matter in the county attorney's office. The extension goes into the private office, and affords the only opportunity of privacy in the use of the telephone. It was considered so necessary that former County Attorney Ernest R. Si mon had it installed at his own ex pense when the commission refused Uj pay for it, and paid the fee out of nis own pocket. Judge W. F. Schoch also paid for the extension in his of fice, considering it of sufficient value to be worth while. The commissioners have decided that if the officers in question wish to keep their extensions they may do so, but the county will not pay for the servics. "There would be no end to applica tions for extensions if we allow these," declared Commissioners Simms. So the claims were turned down. BIG BANK CLOSES.

Chicago, April 14. Opinions that the "turkey trot,"' the "tango" and similar day. Roy J. Jones whose license as a cafe proprietor was revoked because of dances permitted by him In his places, testified he saw no objection to that form of amusement. "You consider those dances an art?" Jones was asked. 'Well, they are artful, if not art. It depends largely on what people make them." Jones agreed to eliminate suggestive dancing from his place if he were per mitted to resume business. He said dancing and cabaret shows were the result of competition between cafes, and if all "tango" dancing was pro hibited the cafes still would prosper. Lieutenant Governor Barratt OVHara chairman of the commission, said It was the purpose of the investigators co operating with the city authorities to rid Chicago of immoral cafes and to keep watch on conditions for the next two years. William F. Boiler, a po lice sergeant, testified he had talked to 500 girls in the "red light district." "All sorts of reasons were given by them for their downfall," said he. "Hasty marriages, love of fine clothes. dislike to work for small pay were all mentioned but the commonest reason was poverty." BOOM SOUTH AMERICA Cliili, Peru and Bolivia All Clamoring for Railroads Panama Is Cause. New York. April 14. "I believe that nowhere else in the world, the United States not excepted, such intense in terest is taken in the progress of work on the Panama canal as in the western republics of South America. Chili, Peru and Bolivia all are clamoring for railroads to bring the mineral re sources from the interior to the coast. "Get ready for the Panama canal get ready for the biggest boom South America ever had, seems to be the watchword, especially through Bo livia." James L. Rawlinson, an American civil engineer, who recently returned from Bolivia, expressed himself thus. He was one of the engineers closely identified with the building of the new- railroad connecting the rivers of Bo livia with the headwaters of the Amazon. "I tell you." said Mr. Rawlinson at the Waldorf-Astoria, "nobody has any idea of the enormous mineral re sources of that country. Until a few years ago the only commerce carried on there had to be done on muleback or on the backs of natives, who were the only ones that could scale the passes and ravines. Now we shall be able to get necessary machinery into the country and develop the mines, mainly tin and silver. Another road has just been completed, viz., the Ororo, which reached a height of 13, 000 feet, the highest railroad in the world. "Bolivia will prove to be the treas ure house of the world. English, Ger man and American capital is rapidly coming into the country. ROBBERY SOLVED. Ottawa Mystery Fathomed; Burglar In Jail. Ottawa, April 14.

Brooklyn Tailor Released From tfaB by Little Appetites and Lungs. New York, April 14. Louis Druck er, a ladies' tailor of Brooklyn, owes his release from jail to the appetites and lungs of his eight children. Samuel Cohen, who won a judgment for $15 against Drucker and had him sent to jail to languish for fifteen days because he refused to pay, lost the joy of his triumph a few hours later when Mrs. Drucker, wife of the im prisoned father, appeared at the Cohen home together with her eight chil dren, demanding that Cohen feed her family. She left her clamorous brood to howl at Cohen's door. After hours of this Cohen, half in pity and half in desperation, was forced to send for bread and milk to feed the children. Driven to further discomfiture by neighbors who maliciously congratu lated him on the sudden addition to his family, Cohen gave in and led the children home with the promise he woul get their father out of jail.

APITAL 0MPRESSEDAIR ARPET WINDOW LEANERS Successors to Cowell Bros. GEO. LEARY Phone 1679 Prop. 200-2-4-6 N. Madison THEY'RLAT OUTS City Commissioners and Civil Service Board Don't Agree. Board Holds Policemen Cannot Be Tired Without Cause. What's to be done when the city commissioners and the civil service board don't agree? Police matron, sanitary sergeant have stepped aside and left three police sergeants In the limelight. The civil service commis sion has referred the names of Dan Carden, Rufus Frazer and Otto Ander son to the city board with instructions to reinstate then or prefer chargea The matter will be discussed at a special meeting called by the city fath ers tomorrow at 9 o'clock. The civil service board, unanimous in their de- mand that the officers be reinstated. base their opinion on the following or dinance in the city statute book: "All persons subject to civil service examination shall be subject to removal from office or employment by the city commission for misconduct or failure to perform their duties under such rules and regulations as it may adopt." The reinstatement of the officers has not taken place. The only mention of them in the commission chamber was made by Mayor Cofran. "There are three ways to get rid of them," he observed "one, their resig nation; two, under provision of the commission law; three, to bring charges against them." The three sergeants, who were dis missed last week, were replaced by First Sergeant Ross and Walter Bry ant. Their appointments were rescinc ed by the civil service; the positions have remained vacant for several days. What's to be done? The following set of rules, which have been unanimously approved by the civil service board but not yet pre sented to the city commission, were compiled by Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, secretary of the civil service this morn ing: "This commission has had filed be fore it an appeal from certain em ployees under its appointment in the police force who have been discharged. The appeal to this board is based on the ground that discharge was made without cause. "The law which governs the action of the civil service commissioners in these cases is very vague and ambigu ous. In addition to this fact, the statute of the state law gives the mayor full power to discharge or suspend any employee in his department without cause. This is the opinion of the city attorney as stated to the civil service commission. "In the case of these officers for whom appeal has been made, the mayor has already discharged them, acting under instructions from the city attor ney and in accordance with the state law, which does not coincide with the law which governs the civil service commission. Under these conflicting' rules, this board sees no way in which it may reply to this appeal except to be guided by its own law which holds as an underlying principle of all civil service rules, that nte 'employee shall be 'removed- w1thmaeeause-.s-Jlf -'"he mayor removes employees, acting on the statute, the civil service board has no such law to-govern its action, and! li r-n 1 1 .AfA. ihocA gnnMla tn the mayor and direct him to reinstate these men or prefer charges. "If the mayor, acting on the city attorney's opinion, discharges or re moves employees without cause, that is entirely outside of the civil service commission's jurisdiction. But under the present ambiguous construction of the law we see no other just or non est course for this civil service com mission to take. "This case illustrates the need of a revision of the law in such cases and this board expresses the hope that such revision will be made as soon as possible so that there may be no ambi guity and no conflict between the statute and the law governing the civil service board as there is at pres ent. "In this connection, the civil service commissioners consider it pertinent to declare that this decision does not in any way reflect upon the action of the mayor or the chief of police, who have acted in good faith and under statute law in removing these em ployees. This board is in complete sympathy and harmony with the mayor, the chief of police, the city commissioners and the entire city ad ministration in their efforts to ad vance the interests or tne city ana especially In elevating and strengthen ing its police department. We have already drawn up and unanimously adopted a stringent set of rules for the police and referred them to tne mayor and the commission. We shall do all in our power to prevent unworthy ap plicants to the police force being ap pointed, and we shall co-operate in every way possible with the other members of the city administration to help make Topeka the best city in the United States." The resignation of J. L. Pugh, city sanitary sergeant, was read and ac cepted by the board today. It is ex pected that J. R. Ramsey, who took his civil service examination on Sat urday, will be named for the office tomorrow morning. A special meeting was called at 10 o'clock to hear complaints against the extension of the White Way on Sev enth street between Kansas avenue and Quincy. No complainants, how ever, appeared. The extension, ac cording to Frank Newland, commis sioner of electric lights, cannot be made until the new dynamo, expected to arrive in May, has been installed at the plant. Commissioner Porter has received so many complaints concerning dogs without licenses that he has interview ed the city attorney on the point. The ordinance provides that the tax be, paid before the 1st of April, but that the keeping and harboring of dogs without registration shall not become a violation of the ordinance until after the 1st of May. The price of registra tion tags is now $2 for males, $7 for females. Mr. Porter wishes to have pups without tags killed in the most humane manner possible; he intends to have them chlororormed instead of shot. SUBMIT TO T. B. TEST.

"Bedford's Hope" at the Gem. A big Cole motor car piloted by H. J. Pink featured last week in the making of a thrilling film of a wild 14-mile race with one of the fast Southern Pacific trains between San Fernando and Tropico. The story of the picture play, which is entitled "Bedford's Hope," hinges on the necessity of the hero and hero ine beating a fast train by machine in order to foil the cunning villain of the play. Barney Furey and Miss Alice Skinner were the hero and heroine who took part in the dangerous ride. The setting for the play is ideal. For miles the San Fernando boule vard parallels the Southern Pacific tracks. A speed of 65 miles an hour was necesary to outstrip the train, but nevertheless the car won. Pink has the highest praise for the nerve of Miss Skinner, the plucky lit tle woman who rode in the car. "We took a chance at the crossing just above Tropico that I would never have taken in the world if she had not urtred me to try it," said Pink after wards. "We had only the barest lead on the train and of course it was nec essary for me to slow a little on the curve. We went across the track on two wheels and I honestly believe the engine brushed our rear fenders. The engineer told us afterwards that he never dreamed that we would make it and it was a closer call than I ever want to take again, but it did not seem to worry Miss Skinner in the least." The films were given a private run that are right in fabric, in fit, in style and in workmanship.

When they be come clogged up and inactive, nature has a way of warning you. Backache is one of the first syrap tomes. Tou may also be troubled with disagreeable, annoying: bladder disorders; have attacks of lumbago or rheumatism; become nervous, tired, and feel all worn out; puffy swellings show under the eyes or in the feet and ankles; and many other symptoms are noticed. If they are neglected, dropsy, diabetes, or Bright's disease, which so often prove fatal, may result. It is not only dangerous, but need less for you to suffer and endure the tortures of these troubles, for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely enas ail sucn misery. There is no more effective remedy known for the prompt cure of ail such troubles than this new scientific prep aration, because it removes the cause. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings; cleans out the clogged up pores; neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid and waste matter that lodge In the joints and muscles and cause those terrible rheumatic pains, and makes the kidneys filter and sift the poison out of the blood and drive it from the system. You will find Croxone different from all other remedies. It is so pre pared that it is practically impossible to take it into the human system with out results. An original package of Croxone costs but a trifle, and all druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone should fail In a single case. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst back ache, relieve rheumatic pains, or over come urinary disorders. Adv. I Many new laws will go into effect in Kansas with the publication of the 1913 'session laws early in May. Of the 343 laws passed by the recent session of the legislature, all but about 100 of them will become effective when pub lished in the statute books. The other new laws have already gone into opera tion upon their publication in the offi cial state paper. Only measures which were considered as emergency acts were published in the official state paper. For that rea son some of the more important of the new Kansas laws will not begin opera tion until early in May. Among the more important measures which become effective on their pub lication in the statute book are: The Mahin law, which prescribes that every common carrier must file a statement with the county clerk of all shipments of liquor delivered by It in that county. New Kansas law providing that all applicants for marriage license must furnish to the probate judge a cer tificate of health before a license can be issued.

This money is to be spent for roaa maintenance in the counties in which the motor cars and pop pop machines are owned. Amendments to the fish and game law; an important feature of which is the complete protection of quail in Kansas for a term of five years. Creation of a small debtor s court. Under the terms of this law each city or county may appoint a judge who shall serve without pay to. hear con troversies over small debts. Both sides may tell their trouble to the court and the law provides that lawyers shall not appear in the trial of any case and that witnesses shall appear without pay. Act requiring that all stock foods offered for sale in Kansas must be registered and that the registration rec ord shall show the ingredients of such preparations. Nonpartisan judiciary ballot. At future Kansas elections, candidates for judges will run on a non-partisan ticket on which there will be no party affilia tions designated. Corporation tax law, which goes into effect January 1, 1914, and prescribes that all corporations doing business in the state must pay an annual tax based on their capital stock. Law. providing for the appointment of a hotel inspector, who shall inspect ail hotels, apartment houses, rooming houses and restaurants as to sanita tion, ventilation, safety appliances; and enforce all other laws now existing which affect public eating and room ing houses in Kansas. An act exempting women from Jury service. The assessor under this law- must inquire of women whether they wish to be exempted jrom jury service. Women who desire to be exempted, shall not have their name placed on the list from which the jurors are drawn. The law which provides that the county attorney shall act as proctor in all divorce cases in his county. Law creating barber's commission board and providing that all barbers must secure a permit from the board before being allowed to follow their trade in this state. New- tuberculosis hospital bill, pro viding for relocation of tuberculosis hospital and defining that the new in stitution must be situated somewhere in the Sixth congressional district. Law providing for uniform course of study in all rural schools of the state. New act permitting counties to erect, equip and maintain county hospitals. Osteopathic and chiropractic laws, providing manner of practice of these professions. There are many other new laws which go into effect next month, but these are principal new laws to be come operative as soon as the new session laws are published. AUDITORIUM SERVICES Rev.

Having become weary of home restraints the younger son decides to leave. The char acter of the home as a rule determines the future of the children. But this lad goes forth from a good home to sow wild oats. Perhaps bad associates led him astray In his thinking.

"Little Lord Kauntleroy a play containing more literary merit and better characters than any of the pre ceding plays the Bunting company have presented here. Miss Bunting as "Little Lord Fauntleroy." portrays a charactet which is said to fit her like a glove. The Atlanta Journal says of a recent per formance in that city: "Miss Bunting was characteristically good looking and good humored Monday night. She was in a good humor with her play, her audience, and best of all with herself, although she is always like that. That's why. she has earned more than any other one American actress, perhaps the title of 'Matinee idol.' At the end of the second act the applause was so loud and prolonged that she had to com- out and make a curtain speech. And with 1.7,, ,,i,iiuict iiiui c ui ims pleasant chat Miss Bunting bowed herself behind r 1 i iitii yncea matinee W ednesday and Saturday. AT THE OPERETTA. Boy Blue." an operetta by Margaret R. Martin, was prettily presented at two performances on Saturday, and will be repeated tonight. It is the second success ful amateur performance to be given in Topeka this season, and one of the most charming fairy plays that has ever been staged at the Grand. Miss Martin, author of both music and book, has written an idyll that should have a professional career. The score is exceedingly tuneful and the plot strung on a quaint little thread that is tangled in the second act and satisfactorily smoothed out in the third. Not only is the play artistically written, but most artistically staged. Very effec tive was tne nrst. act, a sunny meadow with scarlet flowers and a chorus in Scarlet eoats. The principal roles are sung by Rachel Coston, as "Mistress Mary," and Glenwood Jones as "Boy Blue." Miss- Coston made a winning heroine, and has a sweet soprano voice. Mr. Jones was excxellent. Miss Eunice Seiner, as "Gossamer," queen of the will o' the wisps, seemed blown about on the wings of the wind. She is the physical director at Washburn college and unusual ly graceful. Miss Violet Crumbine and Miss Grace Gaines, as Merrie Bell and Betty Blue, were second only- to Miss Coston. Miss Bertha Clay led the dainty dance of the fairies. Waldo Heywood, Scott McCloud and Donald Wilson, the villains of the piece, were good; so was Mr. Tomiinson. as Mary's guardian, and Paul Anderson, the postman. Miss Lois Lindsay, who read the role of the fussy Madame Blue, deserves much commenda tion; she was obliged to take the part at the last moment, and had only gone through two rehearsals. There were several unusually pretty musical numbers the Love Song; which Mr. Jones was obliged to encore repeated Iv; the fairy chorus, "Troubles Are Only Bubbles;" and the shepherd maidens "Come, Boy Blue." Miss Martin, who has directed the To peka performance, is certainly deserving of the highest praise. The play is clever ly conceived, cleverly written, and clever ly produced. Tha last performance will be given at the Grand tonight. Proceeds will be used for the benefit of the To peka Play Ground association. A. L H. His Property Damaged by Flood.

Real heroes -were developed Saturday within the dark grey and forbidding walls of the state penitentiary at Lansing' as 100 men some of them the most daring and desperate criminals in the prison fought as if to save their own homes and lives of dear ones in the battle that kept the half million dollar fire away from the cell houses and prevented the complete destruction of the prison plant. Towering above it all. though, was the evidence in every movement that told a story of Warden J. K. Codding's wonderful discipline and control of his 900 prisoners. The fire loss was possibly a bit heavier than a half million dollars, Buildings destroyed will be rebuilt at once. There will be no special session of the legislature. Never for one min ute was there an intimation from Gov ernor Hodges that one might be called.

With the prison plant out of business. It Is believed that twine trust agents will make material advances in prices to Kansas farmers. A supply of a little less than a half millon pounds of manu factured twine, stored in a building out side, the prison walls was saved. This supply will be sold direct to the farm ers. Buildings and departments destroyed in Saturday's fire included! .Twine plant, light plant, print shop-, tin shop, carpenter shop, band house, tailor shop, blacksmith shop, shoe shop, tinker shop, gymnasium, machine shops, por tions of store houses together with en tire supply of tobacco, clothing, grain and leather.

Plans for pro inr thi mnnpv have already been ar ranged by Attorney General John S. Dawson, who reacnea tne prison iuii- ly after the fire startea. Bravery of Prisoners. t w.m't thA nroDertv los of Sat urday that lingered In the minds of the men who talked to m u juu victs In prison chapel Sunday morn ing It was the thought of individual bravery and loyalty on the part of men whose first natural incentive un der such ciicumstances was to es cape. It was three hour9 from the time the fire started until the flames were under control. In three hours the 900 men forgot that they were under surveillance. From the prison snops ana prison mines new heroes came as suddenly as the spark from the electric motor which in an instant spread fire the lonirth of the east prison walls, ror the time the prisoners were free men, risking life and limb for the sake of saving the state's property or drag ging from the burning buildings some fellow prisoner. For three hours these men stood in the very midst of flame and smoke or la bored under tottering walls with no promise and little hope lor rewara. Within the little ten-acre enclosure new leaders of men developed in an instant. These leaders came from the ranks of prisoners convicted of al most every crime on the statute books, men who have long years yet to serve for bank robbery, or a life sentence over their heads for murder. Yet the murderer ana tne Dang roooer and the sneak thief worked shoulder to shoulder and obeyed every order from the lips of Warden Codding and his assistants. G at Opportunity for Escape. Thet same men, as they played the dozen lines of hose, saw the prison guards driven from the watch towers to seek protection from the flames and smoke. These men also saw the clouds of black heavy smoke envel op the prison wans until ior min utes at a time the walls could not be seen from a distance of a dozen- feet. At night the prisoners saw the sun sink behind the western cell house and they realized that for the first time in SO years the night was to be spent in utter darkness, save only the light from the burning neaps or twine and the dim rays from a few lanterns. They knew that for 24 hours at least the electric light plant was hopelessly out of commission. The same- prisoners knew that with in the prison walls was not one armed guard. The stage for a mu tiny was probably never more beau tifully laid. L And yet in those trying, tense hours of suppressed excitement and alarm, not one man disobeyed an order. Not one man made a- rush for liberty or made a demonstration not in keeping with prison rules. Every man was ac counted for and in his place. ding and. the governor's party stood in afternoon.

It was Just four minutes before the noon hour when the fire started. The prisoners, many of them the most dangerous of the Kansas convicts, had just been brought from the mines for the noon luncheon and had been locked in their cells as the two long blasts of the prison whistle an nounced the fire. Workers in the twine plant and shops were beginning to prepare for lunch, as a spark sud denly sprang from the motor oper ated by George Appleton, a life con vict from Rush county. Appleton and several fellow prisoners tried to beat to the next" legislature to repay an honest, debt." And the matter was settled. Gov. Hodges Attended Chapel Service. For the first time In 15 years a Kan sas governor attended. Sunday morn ing prison chapel. With Governor Hodges sat Attorney General Dawson, Thomas W. Morgan and W. L. Brown, members of the board of correction.. The governor did not talk to the pris oners it is an honor which every ex ecutive has gracefully dodged since away back some fifteen years ago when Governor Leedy decided that speaking to the convicts paved the way to many wrong Interpretations on the part of the prisoners. Both Attorney General Dawson and Speaker Brown, however, made short speeches and it is probable that in the minds of many of the prisoners the Sunday morning chapel services will stand out almost as vividly as the fire of the previous day, As the prisoners in chapel sang "He Promised Never to Leave Me," and re joiced In the visit of the Kansas state officials, a half dozen men, with their faces and hands swathed in bandages, lay In the prison hospital a half block away and listened to the strains of the old church hymn. In the hospital ward was the real story of the peni tentiary fire. McDowell Was the Hero. Frank McDowell, with a broken an kle, his hair and eyebrows singed and his face, hands, arms and shoulders blistered from the flames, leaned on his pillow and listened to the music of the prison band and the songs of his fellow convicts. Among the real heroes of the previous day, McDowell held undisputed first place. Yet the man who was sent to prison from Rush county to serve six to 15 years for burglary and larceny, was inclin ed to believe that his work of Satur day had been overrated. McDowell was on the second floor of the twine plant when the fire started., A half dozen men were trapped in tne room with him. Under their feet they heard the roar of the flames. Then the fire burst into the room ana McDowell yelled that they would have to look to the windows for escape. Jac Smith and Frank Dixon,' cripples, were on the floor with McDowell. He hated to leave them and he feared the men could not escape without air. So Mc Dowell secured a little ladder. ie dropped it out of the window, but it was six feet too short. McDowell jump ed. His ankle was broken. But the man still thought of his companions in the roaring furnace. He yelled tor them to come to the window. Placing one end of the ladder on his broad shoulders, McDowell iprovided a means of escape for Smith and Dixon and four other men. Out of a lower win dow the flames licked McDowell's face and shoulders and charred his hands and arms. Not until the last man left the building, though, did McDowell de sert his post. Then he was taken to the hospital for treatment. .It was under the motor operated by i-Lr-o-o innlpton that the fire started. AnrJeton is serving a life sentence tor- killing an officer in Barton county. But when he saw the fire,, he saw iis workshop being destroyed. With his cap and coat Appleton beat the flames, but to no avail. Jackson Wright, serv ing 25 years for the murder of his sweetheart in Topeka two years ago. joined McDowell m tne ngn,. 0.cloclcsunday mo'rning, Codding was staved in the room until it was a. ven j sans are expected to provide all funds necessary to immediately rebuild the structures destroyed m Saturday's fire. When the fire was at Its height Sat urday, the prisoner -were ordered to roil tne numerous, carrels of oil to places of safety. Some of the barrels leaked and oil was., spilled on the ground. Outside the prison walls the report spread that the prisoners were spreading the fire and feeding It to new buildings with the. oil supply. Like many other reports, this one had no foundation. Source of funds for the prison ball team were destroyed by the fire. A car load of old papers, which the prisoners were to have sold to vide funds for new equipment, was lost. For the fight which they made against Saturday's blaze, members of the prison fire department receive from, the state a pay of three and one half cents a day. Yet no braver or "more determined fight was ever made by high salaried and trained firemen. Offers of extra guards came to War den Codding from the federal prison and the Leavenworth fort. All were declined with thanks. -Not an extra guard was on duty during the fire or during the night vigil, of the prison walls without the friendlv aid of the big arc lights. Not one of the guards within the walls carried weapons either during the fire or at eight. Reports that Warden Codding -and his son Har old Codding, stood in the warden's of fice heavily armed during the fire, were false. Both the warden and his son were within the walls and directed the fight aaginst the flames. Neither carried a gun. "Every day since I came here,'' War den Codding told the Saturday night dinner party, "I have worked against such a condition as this. My one aim has been discipline. I never knew just when the test would come. It came to day. This has been the saddest day of my life. But I want, to tell you that every, man stood Up under the test like a hero. We had absolute order and system every minute. That's what won the fight." Then the tired and worn warden dropped his head a minute. "I'm awfully glad,"' he added, "that this happened at this time instead of at the beginning of Mr. Botkin's term If it had to happen. Such a situation would have an awful disappointment to him. Now we will have things back in reasonably good shape when he takes cnarge." i O. Jl Foland, an-.-48-year-old youth,! serving life sentence for a Reno county murder, stood with Leland Roberts, a second degree murder man from Gra ham cOutity, in the burning warehouse. The two men worked with a line of hose until the roof began to fall above them. r- 'Once I thought we 'were gone," said Roberts, who recentjys'had his prison sentence commutted to 20 years, "but somehow we "managed1 to 'crawl out a window before, everything fell. There was no one else in the building when We left."- ur.

At 5 as. lieutenant, the two men .seemed to be everywhere. Hardly a move was made during the day that was not per sonally directed by the two men either to the convicts or to the prison guards. "It was the greatest display of dis- i cipune l ever saw or heard of." de clared Governor Hodges, as he stood Saturday night In the glare of the twine plant fire and listened to the praises of prison officials for their I chieftain. Codding. "Every detail of the work was wonderful. It was a display'of courage that the entire state is proud of. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Codding for the great work." Until new supplies are purchased, the men in the penitentiary must do without their daily supply of tobacco. In Saturday's fire 2,200 -pounds of: V ATit-iitb-v .4-.i.a1 l r v. .a the entire supply of prison grown to bacco was lost. Because of the S o'clock luncheon served Saturday afternoon, the pris oners in the cell houses went without their supper. Sunday morning, how ever, there was a cheer from the 900 men as they walked into the dining room and were served with a break fast of steaming beefsteak, brown gravy, sweet potatoes, cakes, bread, butter and coffee with cream and sugar in it. Members of the board of correction and State Architect Chandler are in conference at the prison today, dis cussing Plans for the immediate re- ouilding of the buildings lost by fire. Now that ample funds seem assured, Warden Codding believes that in 30 days enough brick and lime can be burned at the prison to erect new buildings. New machinery will be ordered at once and the new struc tures will be built and equipped bet ter than before. Until new work in the shops is pro vided, the convicts from these depart ments will be used in the prison mines and brick plant, or in cleaning up the debris of the fire. Journal Ads Get Results.

Shortly after 6 o'clock Governor Hodges and Pardon Clerk Samuel Seaton arrived at the prison. A half hour later Attorney General Dawson came over from Kansas City. That night the state officials and a State Journal representative staid in he warden's house, although there was little sleep that night. Except for the light from the burn ing twine and the dim flicker of a hun- ared lanterns, there was not a light I in the penitentiary.

That night the warden's guests retired with only a tallow can dle to light their rooms. It was not a surrounding to promote complete rest and Mrs. Codding, as she left the dining room, admitted that she would feel better when the night was over.

This smart hat is of ecru hemp with brim facing of faille in the same color, around the crown is a modern pleating of moire ribbon in self tone and the season's elongated line is achieved by the cluster of shaded, flowers on the right.

Bill Curtis, having recovered. Bill Collinson has revived the marrying j story on him. The man who wears a dress suit bet- ter than any other man in Topeka, who is one of the most substantial and i reliable props of the structure of lo cal society, has returned from Chica go, and tells a story of his humiliation in the great city. He declares he has proven, himself the gawk from the short grass country, the cheap John from the far frontier. He had, it seems, an hour or. so to spare and blew in at the box office- of the Majestic theater, and thinking that he would not be able to stay to see the show out, he decided to get a seat in the balcony. He laid a quarter before the austere autocrat of the box office and said as politely as ever he could, "Will you please sell-me a 25 cent seat.' The magnate behind the window scowled and in severe, level tone, audi ble to all the crowd around the office, ordered "Go to the alley!" as he might have said it to the ragged newsboy or the popcorn peddler. Our hero looked at the price list: Box seats, ?3; par quet, $1.50, first balcony, 75 cents. "All right," said he to himself. "I of fered him the Crawford price for a Majestic balcony seat, and that is all he gets from me." Then back to the alley. 'Another box office, and a thousand steps to mount. Up, up, he puffed into the dizzv blue and finally reached the strategic point of the cobweb situa tion, where he could look down upon the stage as an aviator views a farm yard. At the- most tragic moment of the drama being enacted below, the man pictureed to himself the figure it seemed he must have made in the shadow of "them tall buildings," and he tried hard to keep from smiling audibly. He must have succeeded poorly, for the "flowers of the slum" around him, nudged each other, exclaiming in a stage whisper: "Just look at that fool laugh."- Whereupon this "prominent citizen" comes home crammed with the idea that the mask is off and that he is re membered by a thousand Chicago swells as the real country jay.

TE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURrTAT MONDAY EVENING- APRIL 14,1913- BOOST FOR DYCHE WESTERN UNION I mm LAM THEO. N. VAIL, PRESIDENT C7 THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY GARDENCITY DARK Lanterns and Moonlight Only Means of Street Lighting. Scrap Between City Conncil and Electric Company. Garden City, Kan., April 14. Lant erns, moonlight and the incandescents on front porches are the only means of lighting the way for delated home goers here as a result of a new turn of affairs In the scrap between the city council and the Garden City Light company. The fight has been on over rates for months. It is now in the supreme court on a recent appeal by the light company. When the case was appealed the council retaliated by calling an election to vote J40.000 bonds for a municipal plant. The contract for street lighting expired yesterday and the 'council refused to renew. The city is dark at night. "While most property owners seem in favor of a municipal plant, a majori ty are disgusted with the refusal of the council to renew the contract till -the municipal plant is built and have organized to express their disgust by burning the incandescents on their front porches till midnight. A new chapter in the fight begins today when the light company will discontinue day current, stating that this service has always been a losing proposition and that it would force the company out of business if con tinued since the profits from street lighting have been stopped. The fight is considered the biggest the city has ever engaged In and is made bitter by the fact the property owners are about equally divided in sentiment. are high grade Herefords.

Lawrence, Kan., April 14. Visions of a long trip to western tide water again are filling the minds of the Haskell Indian football team. The game with the Washington Agricul tural team was tendered by the au thorities of the latter school some time ago and vetoed as impractical by the Haskell authorities, now seems to be within the range of possibility for next season. The proffer of another western game makes it even some thing more than a possibility that the western trip will be made. Colorado college has asked for a game with the Redskins next fall, to be played at Colorado Springs. Mana ger Venne of .Haskell athletics says there is some likelihood that the game will be accepted, and that in that case it is possible that the team would go on out to the coast and play the game with the Washington Aggies, making one of the longest trips ever taken by a Haskell athletic organization. Johnny Bender, a former mentor of the Haskell boys, is coaching at the Washington school, and it was through his solicitations that the game was of fered to Haskell. He believes a game with the Indians would be a drawing card and one of the feature events of his schedule. LARGE REALTY DEAL. CLASS ECONOMIZES. Hutchinson High School Graduates Xot to Buy Expensive Clothes. Hutchinson, Kan., April 14. There is to be no extravagance connected with the high school graduation exer cises this year." After a long and serious consulta tion," the young men of the graduating class have decided not to buy new tailor made suits for the occasion, but to be satisfied with purchasing only white trousers, costing $3.75 a. pair. The girls of the class, also, are striv ing to make the graduating expense as low as possible, and there will be no expensive gowns. Even the annual banquet to be given by the junior class to the seniors tonight, while given at the Chalmers hotel, will be made as inexpensive as possible. The banquet which the Junior class. Is giving the faculty and the senior class was almost entirely arranged for several months ago when a play was given which left the class with more than $100 in the treasury. SUDDENLY PROMINENT. Kansas Ctoekman Kuys 2.800 Read of Cattle In Few Days. Kinsley, Kan., April 14. C. W.

All Kins Brothers' Ranch of Pratt on Block for $104,000. Garden City, Kan., April 14.

Feldhut of Pratt county for $104, 000. The ranch sold for $54,000 and the 460 acre tract for $50,000. The deal was made by W. L. VanHorn Co., of this city.

RECEIVED HIGHEST AWARDS World'. Par Food Exposition. Chic.ro. HL Peris Exposition. France March. 1912. ALUMEj 111 Washington. D. C, April 14, Kan sas finds itself in the unique position of having one of its prominent citizens boomed for a big federal job without anyone from the state urging nis ap pointment. Furthermore, tne man himself ia not a candidate, nor has he any knowledge of the boom started bv his friends in other states. Tnis week a numoer oi scienimc men. officials of zoological societies and fish and game commissioners of 9 different states wrote to President Wilson and Secretary Redfield of the department urging the appointment oi L. L. Dyche of Kansas aa United States fish commissioner, to succeed Oeorgo M. Bowers, Republican, the present incumbent. Dr. Dyche is now state fish and game warden for Kan sas. Dyche has been put forward as the best man in the country who is at all available for this office. As a natural ist, it is DOinted out that he ranks with the foremost scientists in this line of study. Furthermore, it is declared that Dyche knows more about the culture of fish than any man now in the employ of the government or in the states. His travels have taken him with Peary and Cook into the Arctic regions on several occasions. to the mountains and streams of this country and Canada, as well as to manv foreign lands in Europe and South America. He has made a life study of fish and game and his know ledge has long been considered of the highest authority by the scientists of the world. Dvche is considered a thorough scientist, and that is what President Wilson wants at the head of the fish bureau. The president has indicated that he will not, under any circum stances, appoint a politician as com missioner of fisheries. Dr. Dvche is being urged by his scientific friends without his know ledge or consent. It is positively known he is not in the slightest sense seeking the office. His friends de clare however, that they are certain should the administration call upon him to accept the post he would ac auiesce. At the same time they are just as certain that he will not seek the appointment. Senator Thompson was asked if ne would push 'Dyche for the office. He said that he was in somewhat of a quandary as what best to do in the matter. In the first place, ne saia Dyche was not a Democrat. "If he was a Democrat." said the senator, "I would gladly get behind the move ment for his appointment." It was argued with the senator tnat Dyche was not a politician, but a scientific man of international fame. and was the sort of a man that the president was seeking for this office. "If the people of Kansas endorse Dr. Dyche for this office I shall be only to glad to do all I can to secure the appointment for him." The following legislation has been proposed by members of the Kansas delegation in the senate and house: By Senator Thompson Joint resolu tion proposing an amendment to the constitution providing that a majority of both houses shall be necessary to propose amendments to the constitu tion, which shall be valid when ratified by the legislatures of a majority of the several states. By Senator Bristow Joint resolution proposing an amendment to the con stitution providing for submitting to the people of the United States acts of congress for their approval. By Senator Thompson Bill for the relief of the Garden City (Kan.) Wa ter Users' association and for other purposes. By Congressman Campbell Bill to amend the act of June 27, 1890, the act of April 19. 1908, and other pension acts. By Congressman Murdock A bill pro viding for the labeling and tagging of all fabrics and articles of clothing in tended for sale which either enter in to Interstate commerce, and providing penalties for misbranding. By Congressman Neeley A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution providing that judges of certain inferior courts shall be elected by the electors of. the several judicial districts, and shall hold their offices during a term of six years. By Congressman Campbell A bill granting pensions to ex-prisoners of war. By Congressman Neeley Bill provid ing the order of procedure in the dis-. trict courts of the United States. Another measure presented by Mr. Neeley provides for the erection of a federal building at Lamed, Kan. The question of whether the Demo crats are willing, in earnest, to take the postoffice department out of poli tics, will be put up to them shortly. Senator Norris, of Nebraska, will press a bill in congress to reorganize the postoffice department and make it a strictly civil service institution from the first assistant postmaster general to the lowest paid messenger. He would have the postmaster hold office ten years, unless removed for cause, thus making the position non-political, and not subject to change with each ad ministration. The bill was introduced in last con gress but Tas not pressed. Now Sen ator Norris, who is one of the foremost progressive Republicans in congress, in tends to work hard for it. The. Ne braska senator told the Topeka State Journal corespondent that if this legis lation was passed, and the department really taken out of politics, it would be a reform of far-reaching effect. "The first great change in the form of government of the United States, the first great step toward more popu lar government," was the character ization of the adoption of the consti tutional amendment for the direct election of senators, made by Senator Joe Bristow, author of the amend ment. "The amendment is now part of the constitution," declared Senator Bris tow, to the Topeka Stato Journal cor respondent, "though, of course, the secretary of state is directed by the constitution to make formal proclama- rarilafestmeiYts "Just what I have been looking; for," says every mother who sees Vanta Vestments. Vanta Vestments are clothes for baby without pins or buttons. A new line we- have added to our already popular Baby Dept. on the Second Floor. The Vanta Vest is a little wonder. It won't work up.

Fastens with just three twistless tape bows. The Pattern is Free Just Ask for It. tion after receiving notification from the states. "This will do away entirely with" scandals oyer elections of senators by state legislatures." Senator Borah of Idaho, a former Kansas man, who, with Senator Bris tow, led the fight in the senate for the adoption of the resolution setting the machinery in motion for the adoption of the amendment by the states, ex pressed his pleasure also at the final approval of the amendment, Con necticut this week passing the amend ment and being the thirty-sixth state to give its aDproval. The senate yesterday passed the res olution of Senator Bristow calling on the commissioners of the District of Columbia for information as to the number of persons on the police and firemen's pension roll, how they are employed, and the compensation re ceived by each In such employment. The resolution was introduced Mon day by Mr. Bristow. It was amended yesterday on motion of Senator Gal' linger by including the amount of pen sion each one gets. The vice president of the United States laid before the senate a con current resolution adopted by the Kansas state legislature at its recent session urging the passage of proper legislation by congress fixing and es tablishing a pensionable status for 12, 000 citizens of Kansas who served as militiamen during the war of the re bellion in suppressing Price's raid and other warlike Invasions and border disturbances.

President Wilson scored his first tariff victory when the house Democratic caucus, by a vote of 155 to 39. adopted the tenta tive sugar schedule making that com modity free after tnree years or. i per cent duty. The vote was taken after unairman Underwood had warned the caucus that the adoption of any of the amend ments placed before it would be a di rect affront to the president and would imperil the passage of the bill in. the senate. The sugar schedule in this bill was not reported from the committee as I i personally would have reported it," he said. "It represents, however, the J wishes of the president." The final adoption of the sugar schedule, which Underwood said meant an ultimate saving to the con- sumer of $115,000,000 yearly, followed a day of stormy debate. GOOD CHAUTAUQUA TOWN.
