At tlie great mass meeting of protest held here last night there was a hysterical anti American outbreak.

Other fiery orators insist ed that the questions between Japan and America had better be settled now once and for all.

Tokio, April 18. The situation brought about by the California alien land holding bill is becoming increas ingly serious. A mass meeting today composed for the most part of irre sponsible people demanded the most extreme measures of retaliation by Japan. The singing of war songs aroused the feelings of many of the lower classes who were present. Anonymous writers in the newspapers give an outline of plans for the seizure of the Philippines and Hawaii, and at the same time denounced the Japanese government suDmissive attitude.

In the event of the passage' of the California alien land holding bill through both houses of the legislature Japan will issue an imperial ordinance enforcing the Japanese foreign land ownership bill of 1910 and will apply to the federal government at Wash ington for permission for the Jap anese to become naturalized citizen of the United States.

Washington, April 18. Italy's inquiry of the probable effect of the pending alien land laws in California upon Italians and their interests in that state is expected to be followed by like in quiries from other governments who have subjects engaged in farming, fish ing and enterprises which might be affected by such legislation. Diplomat ists here point out that the Mafia in cident in Louisiana during Harrison's administration established the inability of the federal government to exercise any control over a state in such ques tions, and about all Bryan can oo at this stage is to assure his questioners that the California legislation as of ficials here hope to see it finally framed, will not injure their subjects. Mr. Wilson's announced selection of George W. Guthrie to be ambassador to Japan is taken with a measure of relief by those interested in the situa tion. Mr. Guthrie probably will soon be nominated and on his way to Toklo, American interests in Japan have been urging tnat an amoassaaor De ap pointed to succeed Lars Anderson, who has just returned home. Meanwhile the Tokio embassy is in charge of Bailly Blanchard, but it is not known that Secretary Bryan has had occa sion to address the Japanese govern ment through the embassy, his efforts having been confined to conference here with Viscount Chinda, the Jap anese ambassador. Secretary Lane, a native Californian is doing much to aid Secretary Bryan. CUPID IS TO BLAME Kansas City Woman Struck Man Because of Love. Mrs. Harris Tells Police Story of Courtship. Kansas City, April IS. Cornwall W. Ellis, the barber whose head was almost severed from his body by a hatchet wielded by Mrs. Julia D. V. Harris, a woman lawyer, and owner of a barbe. shop in Kansas City, Kan., was still aliva at 11 o'clock today. Physicians, however, said be could not recover. Mrs. Harris is detained at the police station, awaiting the outcome of Ellis' wounds. She main tains she struck Ellis because she loved him. The woman's husband, from whom she has been separated, today took possission of Stella, the 10-year-old daughter who has been livinS here with her mother. He said he would aid his wife in her trouble it0,,; h h.haM of virs clenched her hands nervously. She did not appear to be mentally normal. "Every Sunday we would go out to Bonner Springs rb my husband's farm," I she said. "I told him that Mr. Ellis was my cousin and he believed me. We use 3 to go ut on tne Union pacific and Mr Harris would meet us. We would spena the day on the farm. And I told him that Mr. Ellis had heart trouble and was afraid to live alone for fear he would die suctnly, and for that reason I had him board at my house in the rear of the shop. v "Mr. Ellis was deeply in love with me. Two months after he came to work tor me he told me he could not live without me and I sent him away, seeing it was getting serious. He was gone tnree days and he came back and said he could not stand it to be gone. He was just sick over ti.e parting and I had a physician for him. I let him stay after that." Mrs. Harris said this morning she did not sleep a wink last night as the iron cot in her cell in the women's department was too hard. "I can't remember about my striking Mr. Ellis," she said weakly. "I recall everything that happened before and after but I don t remember the blows. I don't know what prompted me to do such a thing." Albert Harris, her husband, was In the city this morning. "I don't think my wife ever really loved Ellis," he said. "Somehow I never- liked that man, but I le him come out to the farm because she said he was her cousin. I'm going to keep the child and try to Keep from her the story of her mother." BIG OPENING DAY. Omaha, April 18.

Movement Made to Fix $5,000 as Exemption Limit. CLEAR INSURANCE POLICIES Bill Is Made Over to Cause No Question. Defeat Amendment to Take Boats From Free List. Washington, April 18. With Dem ocrat members of the house in the role of students today Cordell Hull of Tennessee converted the tariff caucus into a class on Income taxation after the caucus had been disposed of amendments to a few items on the free list passed over from yesterday. Sev eral members sought to have a small duty levied on rubber, raw silk and Tungsten ore. Representative Hull wrote the income tax section of the Democratic bill about which members of congress particularly evinced a de sire for information as to its effect to criticise its provisions. The Tennessee member elucidated his plan in a lengthy address and on nearly every provision he was asked a dozen questions. How the ways and means committee had arrived at $4 000 as the exemption limit for the in come tax was the first subject of In quiry, some members asking if $5,000 would not be better and others demon strating an ideai that the exemption should be lower. A lower exemption, Mr. HU ex plained, would necessitate a bill with so many special exemptions that it would be difficult to enforce and also would entail so much administrative work as to make it unprofitable. By fixing the exemption at $4,000, special exemptions are not necessary and it was stated the operation of the act and collection of the tax were made com paratively simple. Considerable op position to some of the features of the act are developing though the leaders declared many members were under misapprehension as to its exact work ing. Before the caucus the wavs and means committee considered amend ments which would change rates on some minor commodities. The amend ments were to be ottered to the cau cus. The committee also framed an amendment to the income tax section changing the phraseology regarding In surance policies. In the original, the language was meant to exempt insur ance policies in computing net income, but the phraseology was regarded as confusing. 'We will change the language," said Chairman Underwood, "to make clear that insurance policies are exempt." The change does not alter the original intention of the committee. The con stitutionality of the income tax it became apparent today was to be the principal subject of debate when dis cussion began in earnest. The commit tee is ready to contend that there is no ground for apprehension on that re spect. The first vote of the day in the Democrat caucus before the income tax was taken up, was on a motion of Representative Phelan of Massachus etts, to take boots and shoes from the free list and make them dutiable at 10 per cent ad valorem. This being de feated, he offered an amendment for 5 per cent duty, which also -"as lost by an overwhelming vote. The caucus rejected an amendment PUZZLE PICTURE WHERE ARE t

State Primary Laws to Govern Election of Delegates. Washington. April 18. Formal de mand on the officers of the Republi- can national committee to take action toward obtaining a Republican con vention next fall for a revision of the party's rules, is expected to result from informal conferences that have been going on here amongRepublican leaders who favor the convention idea. Representations thus far made to Chairman Hilles and other officers of the committee have failed to bring any action. It is understood Senator Cummins and others active with him in the con vention project are taking steps to bring about the national gathering. The party reformers insist that the basis of southern representation in national convention must be changed and that provision must be made so that state primary laws shall control the election of national convention delegates. HUERTA IN DANGER Threatened Overthrow of Gov ernment Is Serious. Mexico City, April 18. Undisguised pessimism is manifested in the capital as to the future of the Huerta govern ment. In neither official nor unofficial circles are the statements of General Enrique Obregon, commander af the Sonora insurgents, and Venustiano Carranza, ex-governor of Coahuila, of the probable overthrow of Huerta long er derided. f Without exception, the- newspapers aver that the only hope of salvation lies in the flotation of i loan. Prac tically all of them admit that non recognition of the present administra tion makes this doubtful. That the rebels in the north are rap idly extending their lines is indicated by the isolation today f Monterey and Saltillo, the capitals respectively, of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, by the cut ting of the railroad -at Una res, between Monterey and Tampico, and the main line of the National Railroad, between' San Lais Potosi and JSaltillo.

The situation in Kansas was considered at a special meeting of companies doing business in that state during the recent meet ing of the Western Union in Phila delphia. The Kansas committees sub mitted figures showing the severe and continued loss in the state and the experience on the classes of which rates have been reduced under the state rating law and it was decided to ask the insurance department to increase rates on the unprofitable classes on the basis of the official statistics sub mitted. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Cloudy tonight and Saturday. THE SEASON IS ON Western League Opening at Topeka a Success. Fair Skies and Big Attendance First Game. DENVER CHAMPIONS A CARD They Oppose Kaws While the Fans Applaud. pa-ad A TJpfn-,, Game and finv- Hodges in Box. When Governor George H. Hodges threw the new white ball to Mayor R. L. Cofran at Association park this afternoon, the largest crowd that ever witnessed a baseball game In Topeka was on the t ounds. The grandstand and bleachers were filled to capacity and the crowds filled a part of the field between the fences and, foul lines. It was even necessary for a number to venture over the foul line at the extremes of left field. Guards had trouble in keeping them back. ine Western League season opened nere under the most favorable circum stances. The Denver Grizzlies opposed the Kaws. The former aggregation is a two time pennant winner and Mana ger Jack Hendricks claims another flag this year. This causes the team to be one of the best drawing cards on the circuit. Dale Gear, with one season's experi ence on the circuit, -is familiar with the pace of the Western League, and has assembled a crowd of players who look good enough to make a real showing. It Is believed that the fans of the city will see a team higher in the race than at any time since the city has been represented on the West ern League circuit. Both managers have been working with their respective teams and an nounced Thursday that they were ready for the battle. Both teams trained in Oklahoma and Texas, and the pastimers have been successful in drawing out kinks and loosening their muscles until every athlete is in good trim for the opening of the season. The weather conditions were never more favorable for the beginning of the baseball season. The sky was void of clouds, the baseball field was dry and in ideal condition and business was practically suspended. The peo ple of the city responded by giving their liberal support. The state house, the courthouse, the city hall and all other public offices suspended business at 2 o'clock In addition to the public institutions,, to close were the Santa Pe general of fice building, the offices of the Rock Island, a number ot the shops and scores of b-usiness houses.' Practically all business houses suspended busi ness. The managers of these institu tions are not all baseball fans, but they realized that some of their em ployees were and were big enough to allow the latter to take a short outing on this occasion. The members of the Commercial club and the Boosters' and Roosters' club were largely responsible for the general suspension of business. They took ad vantage of the occasion to give the national pastime in Topeka a boost and were successful. J. Will Kelley secretary of the Commercial club, head ed the movement in that organization, and George Godfrey Moore recruited the ranks of the Booster club, which rendered valuable services. Governor Hodges encouraged the ef forts of the organizations by agreeing to pitch the first ball. The governor is a baseball fan from A to Izzard. Through the efforts of the business THEY GOING? -mayoi- j. l., corran agreed to get in the game although he admitted he was not a baseball enthusiast. The day's celebration began with parade. This was hoartai u- u r-ohoii' band and followed by the governor mayor and players of the two viuzras responded Dy rurnisn ing automobiles. The parade formed in front of the Throop hotel and went north through North Topeka and then back and south on Kansas avenue to tne Daseball park. The machines oc cupied by the band, officers and play ers, were followed by others which were filled with members of th. Com marcial club and the Boosters' and Rooters club. The machines were decorated with appropr banners. The occu pants of these cars kept up a con tinuous noise and attracted the atten tion of everybody along the line of march. The grandstand and bleachers were illing with a yelling mob wheri the game was called. The crowd began to select their seats fully an hour before the game was scheduled to begin. The players of both teams were given a rousing welcome when they left their automobiles and proceeded to their re spective benches. Th' Denver team was the first to take the field for the usual practice. The fans watched them with interest and usually gave the players an ovation when making a good play. The Kaws; were next on the field and were given i vigorous applause when they left the Dencn. livery player on the team, while at practice was given an ovation from time to time. Managers Hendricks and Gear both feel confident of winning the first game of the season. Pitchers Cochreham and Casey Haggerman or Barney fecnreiber were slated to begin the game for their respective teams. Pitcher Cochreham appears to be In better condition than any of the other Kaw players and Dale Gear believes he is as fit as a fiddle. The same can be said of tl. Denver pitchers. The following is the batting order which the managers claim will start the game: Topeka. Denver. Cochran 2b French 2b Lee lfGilmore If Porsythe cf Channell cf McLarry rf Cassidy rf Rapps, lb Fisher lb French ss Quillen 3b Snapp 3b Matthews ss Crist c Spahr c Cocreham p Hagerman p TURN FORWORSE? Sudden Change in Pope's Con dition at IVoon. He May Die at Any Time, Is Latest Report. Rome, April 18. A report gained circulation shortly before noon that the pope's condition had taken a very sud den turn for the worse, .t the hour of. this dispatch it is impossible to verify the report. The prostration and exhaustion of the pope are undoubtedly augmenting and, according to those about him the truth is that he may die at any time or may even linger on for months. PRINTERSJO OUT Belgium Soon to Have Only Abbreviated Jfeswpapers. World's Biggest Strike Is Grow ing More Serious. Brussels, April 18. The strike of all the Union printers here-tomorrow will bring home to residents of the Beleian capital the effects of the great na tional strike far more forcibly, than the crippling of industry in other parts of the cot. -.try has done. Most of the fifteen Caily papers issued here will be in reduced rorm. Today's estimates of the number of strikers makes the total between 350,000 and 375,000. The mowment maintains its determined character throughout the provinces. The socialist leaders have generally succeeded in keeping their followers well In hand, and have prevailed on them to continue passive. Only in a few instances have disturb ances occurred, and these in a minor character. In the industrial province of Hainaut a few have returned to work, but the number of accessions to the strike movement fully balances the defec tions. Shipping has suffered some de lay at A" srp owing to lack of hands for loading freight. The street cleaners of the capital threaten today to add to the incon venience of the residents by quitting work immediately. PEACE AT HAND? Balkan Allies Will Accept Proposals of European Powers.

Says Attorney General's Letter to Co. Clerks Misleading. THE LAWJS EFFECTIVE And Liquor Shipment Records Public Property. The Law Will Stand or Fall With'Webb Bill. Senator I. r. Mahin. author of the Mahln liquor law, and rated as one of the most versatile and able lawers In northwest Kansas, takes serious ob jection to the construction placed on his bill by Attorney General John S. Dawson and declares that either know ingly or unknowingly Dawson gave the county clerks of the state Information which may cause them serious trouble regarding the enforcement of the new liquor law. Mahin holds that the rec ords of liquor shipments to Kansas un der the new state law are public pro perty under certain circumstances and that refusal of county clerks to fur nish this information will probably lead to legal complications which will be both unpleasant and unprofitable for the county clerks.

After testify ing on direct examination at the hear ing in the International Harvester com pany dissolution suit here today that the company never had attempted to coerce him into restricting his imple ment business to international goods, Edward S. Jones, an Implement dealer of Falls City, Neb., admitted under cross examination by the government that he had signed a contract with the Deerlng department of the In ternational in 1903 binding himself not to engage in the sale of any compet ing harvesting machinery. "I did not read the contract and did not know the clause was in it," Jones said. 1 "Then you do not want to.be un derstood as testifying that the Inter national did not attempt to restrict you to their lines of goods?" Edwin P. Grosvenor, of the department of justice, inquired. "No, sir," said Jones. On redirect examination by Judge T. J. Doyle of Lincoln, Neb., .of counsel for the International, Jones said the restriction clause of the contract had been a "dead letter" so far as his case was concerned, as there had been no attempt to enforce it. The contract clause as read to the witness said: "Agent especially agrees not to ac cept the agency for or be interested in the sale of any grain binder, header, corn harvester or shucker, reaper, mower, hay rake or sickle grinder other than the Deering, either directly or indirectly while acting as agent for said company." The dealers examined at the morn ing session in addition to Mr. Jones were: Thomas L. Price, Oregon, Mo.; W. A. Dooley, Dearborn, Mo.; Julius Vogt, Jr., Joncordia, Mo.; Guy Cole man, Platte City, Mo.; John S. Sew all, Maryville. Mo.; George L. Mc Nall, Maitland, Mo.; J. H. Curtis, Den ton, Kansas; J. E.

Way man, former states attorney -of Cook county, who died early today from bullet wounds inflicted by himself sev eral hours before, had suffered for several days under the delusion that he was afflicted with appendicitis, ac cording to Dr. W. O. Krohn, the fam ily physician. Certain that Wayman was coming to a nervous breakdown the appendicitis scare was used as a subterfuge to induce the patient to go to Excelsior Springs, Mo., for a few days' rest. He was told by the physi cian that this would be the best way to prepare for tl.j operation. He con sented to go and returned to his home believing that he was to undergo the operation. Up to the time he shot himself he is believed to have thought that he must submit to the knife with in a short time. One of the most important prose cutions conducted by Wayman while states attorney was that of Police In spector McCann on the charge of ac cepting bribes from Westlake dive keepers. McCann was among several policemen and dive keepers indicted in connection with the investigation but was the only one tried. He wai convicted and sei ed a short term in the prison. Wayman waged a relent less and vigorous fight against the po lice officials and in doing so became estranged from many of his old friends. One of the last acts of his adminis tration last November was to close up the South side levee district. He caused all of the resorts to be raided and scores of arrests followed. He then passed to his successor the task of keeping the district closed. 1

2 THE TOPTTKA DAILY STATE J OtTRNAIr FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 18,1913, VICT0RY0R DEATH This Is Latest Slogan of British Militant Suffs. Followers of Mrs. Pankhurst Capture London Monument. THROW MISSILES TO STREET Fortified Themselves Against Police for an Hour. Reinforcements Called Out to Protect Prisoners. London, April 18. Two enterprising suffragettes this morning took posses sion, of "The monument'' which stands nar the northern approach to London bridge and commemorates the great fire which destroyed the city in 1666. Ascending to the topmost balcony they displayed two flags and an immense banner In the suffragette colors on each of which was written in white letters on a black baekrround "Vic tory, or death." Having securely fas tened them to the railings to the bal cony the women padlocked themselves Inside the tower preventing the police from ascending the winding staircase of 845 steps leading to the top. They showered suffrage literature among the crowds which gathered below. The suffragettes maintained their position on the monument for more than an hour. While tney were noia lng the fort, a heavy missile thrown from the top of the mdnument nar rowly missed injuring a number of spectators. The police eventually had to requisi tion the services of a locksmith, who forced the door at the bottom of the shaft. When the police, appeared in the street escorting the women who had defied them so long, the spectators be came so threatening in their attitude that the constables were compelled to take their prisoners back into the monument -until reinforcements ar rived. A force of more than 100 policemen was required to protect the women from the angry crowd. Both the suffragettes were fashion ably dressed and -appeared little con cerned by the excitement they had raised. They were released a short time after they reached the police station. Slay Have Fire Brands In Custody. London, April 18. Two militant suf fragettes now in prison have been Identified as the two women who were seen in the vicinity of the mansion of Lady Amy White when it was burned to the ground on March 20. General Mrs. Flora Drummond, the militant suffragette leader and George Lansbury, a former socialist member of Parliament appeared at Bow street police court totay to answer sum monses under the statute of Edward III. charging them with inciting to crime and misdemeanor. They were remanded until April 26 on promising not to participate in any meetings in the interval. DEFENDSHIS LAW. Continued from Page Otib.1 In his letter to county clerks, Daw son also criticised section 9 of the Mahin bill. The Smith county senator in his reply states that section 9 was not in the original bill, but that it was injected into the act while the measure' being considered in the house and was concurred in by the senate because there was not sufficient time in which to secure a conference committee end make another fight for the act. Section 9 was pointed to by the newspapers as a joker at the time the bill passed. Now Senator Mahin charges that he is advised by house members that Dawson instigated or was the author of the entirely new section of the bill and of which he complains in his recent letter. As to the legality of his new liquor bill. Senator Mahin says he has no doubt. Of course, he admits, if the courts should hold the "Webb law un constitutional, then the new Kansas law would fall with it; since the Mahin bill was framed in accordance with the broad and general terms of the federal act. In a letter regarding his bill and the recent statement by Attorney General Dawson, Senator Mahin says: The Mahin Letter. "I have read with a great deal of in terest and some surprise the letter writ ten by my good friend John B. Dawson, attorney general, to the various county clerks of the state in which he advises them to disregard thp plain provisions of the so-called Mahin liquor law In regard to making public Illegal liquor shipments. It seems to me that the attorney general overlooked some very Important facts, as well as some well established principles of law which will have much weight when the courts are palled upon to Interpret and construe this statute. When I wrote this hill I had before me the federal law of June IS, 1910. which to the law referred to by the attorney general, and had given its provisions care ful consideration. The federal act of 1910 imposes a penalty for making the public the name of any consignor or consignee or the contents of any shipment delivered to a common carrier for interstate trans portation. This law wan In full force and effect at the time the Webb bill was passed. The Webb bill makes it a crime to ship intoxicating liquors from one state or territory Into another state or territory except for lawful purposes in such state or territory. It is peculiar in this, that it provides no penalty and has no repealing clause, thus leaving It to the state of final destination of such ship ment to declare by law what shipments are lawful and what are unlawful and to fix the penalty for the unlawful ship ments. The Webb law undoubtedly re peals by Implication the federal act of June 18, 1910. so far as It relates to the shipment of intoxicating liquors for illegal purposes, for they are in direct conflict with each other in this, that the Webb law makes it unlawful to ship in toxicating liquors into 'dry territory" thereby imposing a duty upon all who know of such unlawful shipment to make the same public as such Is the pollcv of the criminal laws of all countries, while the act of 1910 makes It a crime to give nut any information regarding such ship ment or the commission of such crime. In other words, the act of 1910 imposes a heavy penalty upon anv person who ex poses the crime of unlawfully shipping liquor into Kansas and thereby mak-s him a party to such crime by compelling him under the penalty of the law to con ceal it. The law of Kansas makes It a crime for any person to knowingly con ceal a crime. It is a well established rule of law that where a subsequent law Is enacted whlcb Is In conflict with a prior law. it reneala the earlier law by implica tion. This is true in both federal and state 1egislation. Dawson Misquoted Federal Law. "The Mahin law does not compel the common carrier or anv aeent of the com mon carrier to make public the name of the -..tpper, the consignee or tne contents of .the shipment in the first instance. I, provides that before the consignee can receive an illegal shipment, he must make the fact public by signing a written state- tnent giving out this information which is finally made Prt of the record of the county clerks omce. wnen tne con signee has given out this information, he is not in position to complain because it is made public. There is nothing In the fed eral law that proniDits any one irom giv ing out information except the common carrier and its agents nothing which prohibits an officer of the state or county from doing so. The law exempts such persons, it reaas: "Nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent the giving or such information in resDonse to any legal process Issued out of any federal court, or any officer or agent of the government of the United States or of any state or territory, In the exercise of his powers, or to any officer or other duly authorized person seeking such information for the prosecution or persons charged with or suspected of a crime.' he! Mahin bill makes the county clerk a part of the legal machinery of the state for the purpose of furnishing evi dence ana exposing crime. He is an of ficer of the state acting 'in the exerciao of his powers' which are conferred upon nim by the Mahin bill. He is exempt from the operation of the federal law Dy reason of being an officer of the stato and by reason of being empowered by the laws of the state to collect the evidence t,- the prosecution of crime. The act of June IS, 1910. Demg a penal statute, can not be extended beyond its express terms by construction but must De strictly con strued. Dawson Author of Section 9. "The attorney aeneral quotes secti.'n nine of the Mahin law as being the part which brings it within the terras of the federal statute of 1910 and thereby de stroys the effect and purpose of the Kan sas law. When tne Kansas law was wTitten and when it passed the senate, it did not contain section nine but that sec tion was placed in the law, as I have been informed by members of the house, by the attorney as a house amendment. The bill as amended passed the house th last night before it ceased considering bills and came over to the senate the dajr that that body ceased considering bill J and too late for a conference committee, so the senate had to concur in the house amendments or let the bill die. The sen ate concurred in the amndments of the house. I do not believe, however, thit section nine of the bill has any effect whatever as the Kansas law so far as it affected interstate shipments would have to be construed in harmony with the ex isting federal law. I am aware of the fact that express companies caused it to be published in the dally press of the state at the time that section nine was in serted that it was a "Joker" which de stroyed the effect of the bill. I am certain it was not put in for the purpose and that such was not its effect. "I am afraid that the advice of the at torney general was wrong and that it the county clerks follow his instructions, they will get into serious trouble for violating the provisions of the Kansas law. Or course, if the Webb law should be de clared unconstitutional, the provisions of the Kansas law which affect interstate shipments, would be unconstitutional also as congress alone has power to regu late Interstate commerce by direct legis lation or by delegating such power to the different states as is proposed under the terms of the Webb bill." Dawson Stands Pat. When shown a copy of the state ment by Senator Mahin today, Attor ney General Dawson declined to yield from his former opinion and while he admitted .that he was the author to section 9 of the. Mahin bill,.urges that it Is the saving clause of the Kansas law in event the Webb bill is declared unconstitutional. "I have great respect for Senator Mahin's talent as a lawyer," said At torney General Dawson, "but my opin ion to the county clerks is based on the combined wisdom of 63 county at torneys and several other lawyers who conferred on the law and who are anxious that Senator Mahin's very valuable law shall not get knocked out of the box in the federal courts. I am the author of section 9. It is not a joker, but intended to save the Mahin bill in the event that the Webb bill is held unconstitutional as Presi dent Taft, Attorney General Wicker sham and Senator Root declared it to be. Senator Mahin concedes that his bill will be unconstitutional if the Webb bill is unconstitutional. I don't. I think we can uphold the Mahin bill no matter what happens to the Webb bill." PICKENS RESIGNS. Head of Hays City N'ormal Will Quit Place September 1. Following within- a week the change in the presidency of the Emporia State normal, the new educational admin istration board has accepted the resignation of Principal W. S. Pickens of the Hays City normal. The Pickens resignation is effective September 1. No successor has been announced. Members of the educational board arrived in Topeka this morning after a three days' session in Manhattan, where they studied the work at the Agricultural college plant. They stated that they had not in any manner de termined Professor Pickens" possible successor. From Hays City comes the rumor that E. T. Fairchild, former state su perintendent of public instruction and at present head of New Hampshire State college, is to be offered the place. Members of the administration board, however, state that they have not corresponded with Mr. Fairchild and do not Deiieve mat ne wouia re turn to Kansas for the Hays principal- ship. Professor Pickens nas Deen witn tne Hays normal since its establishment several years ago. He is widely known in Kansas as an educator of more than ordinary ability and his resignation as head of the Hays school was made on his own motion. FLACK QUITS MINE. Abilene Banker Assigned as Clerk In Penitentiary Storeroom. Leavenworth, Kan., April 18. John A. Flack, former Abilene banker who was received at the Kansas state peni tentiary January 19 to serve an in determinate centence of from three to 19 years, has been taken out of the prison coal mine where he was sent the day following his arrival. Flack s opportunity to leave the mine came when George M. Cheever, a To peka forger, was released from the prison a few days ago. Cheever held a desk as clerk in the general store room and Flack succeeded to the va cant position. "Flack is getting along nicely," said Warden Codding. "Like all other prisoner he waa aent to the mine upon arrival, but aa soon as a place was made vacant in which he could be used to better advantage he was removed.''

HE FLAYS; PRESS Senator Works Makes Vigorous Attack on Journalism. Says the People Should Not Be Told of Crimes. SHOULD BE MADE LIABLE Believes Newspapers at Fault for Poisonous Matter. Workj Has a Bill Prohibiting Tragedy Stories in D. C. Washington, April 18. Senator Works has made a vigorous attack on pres ent day journalism and the newspapers of the United States. The attack waa made in a speech in support of his bill to make it unlawful for District of Columbia newspapers to publish de tails of crimes, accidents and tragedies. A similar bill introduced by him last session was not acted on "Whether people want"' this kind of news or not is one of the questions to be considered looking at journalism as nothing higher than a means of making money," said the senator,. "Newspaper men maintain that they furnish this kind of news because the people want and will have it, and, therefore it is the only way of maintaining their pub lications on a paying basis. If this is true it is certainly a melancholy fact. If it is untrue, it is a grave charge to make against the American people. "Undoubtedly, It is true of some peo pie. But I am convinced that the majority of the people who support the newspaper would prefer to have such news omitted. Many people do not read the newspapers and exclude them from their homes because of objectionable matter." Aside from publication of crimes, ac cidents and tragedies, the senator at tacked newspapers for the discomfort and embarrassment caused the rela tives and friends of persons involved. He cited the recent case of Henry Clay Beattie, who killed his wife near Rich mond, Va., Beattie's people were wealthy and respected. Well That Censorship Is Not Allowed. "It is well for the liberty of the people," said the senator, "that cen sorship of the press is no longer al lowed in this country. It was this that the constitution was intended to pre vent. But to censor the press and thereby say what shall and what shall not be published is one thing and to make one responsible for a violation of the privilege thus secured to him is quite another. The very fact thit the right to publish what one pleases without abridgement exists is the strongest possible reason for making the publishers of news liable for abus ing their right and privilege. 'I maintain if a newspaper publish es matter that is- deleterious and pois onous to the minds of Its readers, thus violating the rules of g&od morals and decency it should be made criminally liable for tnis oirense, an offense far more important and hurtful than the libel of the individual and upon pre cisely the same principles." The senator concluded by admitting that his bill was not likely to become a law. "It has been my purpose," he said, to call the attention of the country to one of the greatest, most powerful and corrupting evils and influences of the present age. It is an evil that I admit cannot be overcome by law. It must be met by a better and purer public sentiment that will demand cleaner and more reliable journalism. 'The man who helps to make the public mind impure whether he be a journalist or not, is a dangerous man and an enemy to the best interests of his country." AMERICAN BURNED OUT Press Room of New York Newspaper Badly Damaged by Fire. v Artfil 1 8 TVi f fl i t nr i n 1 and mechanical staffs of the New York American were forced to riee from their building near the Brooklyn bridge terminal at press time early today by a threatening fire. The blaze originated in the engine room from an explosion and ate its way rapidly around the press room, while dense clouds of smoke poured up the elevator shafts, making the escape of more than a hundred workmen on the upper .floor seem perilous, but all got out safely. The press room waa so badly damaged that it waa necessary to print the late editions from the World plant. The loss is less than $50,000. Two firemen were badly in jured in fighting the flames. MOVE TO KANSAS. Standard Oil Company Has Decided on Missouri Case. Kansas City, April 18. If the Mis souri supreme court refuses to recon sider its writ of ouster of the Stand ard Oil company of Indiana this will end the Standard's legal efforts to re-' main in Missouri. This statement was made here today by P. C. Crenshaw, general manager of the Standard Oil company in the United States, who Is here planning what is to be done with the company's refinery at Sugar Creek. Mr. Crenshaw was asked if it was not possible for the Standard to con tinue to operate meanwhile taking the matter to the United States supreme court on the ground of confiscation without due process. He replied that the plan had been studied and was found to be not feasible. The only thing left for the Standard operating in Missouri to do if the su preme court refuses to reconsider its decision of ouster is to move to Kan sas. r ASSIGN W. Ju UMPIRES.

HE STANDS PAT Park Commissioner Won't Re sign ;or Revoke. Tax Payers' League Threat of Recall Doesn't Move. Him. Throwing down the gauntlet to the Taxpayers' leagueWilliam H. Porter, commissioner of' parks and public property, declares he has no intention of rescinding the ordinance to which they object, and thus puts himself in line for recall. '"I said I'd do what I thought was right, and I did what I thought was right, quoth Mr. Porter, epigram matically. "It will take more than the Shawnee County Taxpayers" league to make me change my mind." Mr, Porter received the resolution of the league this morning. It objects to the creation 'of the office of com missioner of public health and sanita tion at a salary of $1,500 per annum; it states curtly, and concisely that Mr. Porter must either rescind the office, resign or put himself in line for re call. From a conversation with Mr. Por ter one would derive that the first two courses areout '4t the-question: the third is, therefore;"in order. Numerous -question' have been pro pounded to Mr. Porter, the most per tinent being: "Why did you not state in your campaign that you intended demanding an assistant?" To this Mr. .Porter responds as fol lows: "My one campaign promise was that I intended doing as I thought right. I tell you, that's what I've done, I didn't realize the necessity of an as sistant until I had the reins of office well in hand. Each commissioner has a representative in outside work, Mr. Tandy has the superintendent of streets; Mr. Newland has the superin tendent of the electric light plant and of the waterworks. I had nobody. I had strong need of Mr. Snyder; my work will be more ably carried on be cause r him. As for the expenditure of the 1,500, I am saving it in other 'ways. I have discharged two drivers at a saving to the city of $200 per1 month. They are not needed on the forcel This amply makes up for the added expense of maintaining the of fice of commissioner of public health and sanitation." j When Mayor Cof ran was asked whether he favored the repeal of the ordinance or putting a commissioner in line of recall, he. responded that he had six months to think it over, and wasn't ready to pass an opinion. The six months' proposition recalls the recent municipal statute providing that a commissioner cannot be re moved from office until six months after his election. This statute was introduced at -the last meeting of the Kansas Municipal league, and hearti ly pushed by Finance Commissioner Bone. The process of recalling a commis sioner is long and 'intricate. The ordi nance creating the new office could be repaled In two minutes. It simply requires the passing of a new ordi nance abolishing .the old one. But Commissioners Porter won't revoke. He has stated his stand and intends to stick by it. The next move is up to the Taxpayers league? PRISON POWDER GONE. Convicts at San Quentin Suspected of Theft of Explosives. i San Rafael, Cal., April 18. San Quentin penitentiary officials were startled by the discovery that 100 sticks of dynamite, 200 feet of fuse and about 600 "fulminating caps have disappeared from the prison quarry magazine. It is believed the explosive materials were stolen by prisoners. A quantity of explosives were found hidden about a half mile from the prison where a chain gang had been working. It is sup posed this was some of the stolen dy namite sticks. CAN'T OPEN K. C. VAULT May Be Necessary to Use Dynamite to Obtain $3,607,000. Kansas City, April 18. With $3, 607,000 in currency within, the First National bank here was unable to open its vaults today. The time lock combination, supposed to open auto matically at 9 o'clock each morning, failed to work and efforts of all the vault experts in the city were in vain. Unless the vault is opened today it will be dynamited. Neighboring banks loaned money to conduct today's busi ness. Missionaries on Their Way. The Rev.

STOCKS Speculation today was dominated by the familiar Influences which have been op erative recently. In the absence of new factors, the market was narrow and dull. Operations failed to produce essential changes, except in a few isolated instances in which it was evident that professional short selling had been carried too far. The outcome of the St. Paul bond offer ings was not regarded by traders as satis factoryand was used as a basis for bear selling. Bonds were steady. Most of the active stocks opened lower today. Pressure against Reading was especially heavy. Smelting also made a decline, receding on the first few trans actions. The new St. Paul 4 again sold at a fraction under the subscription price at 99. Fluctuations were the rule in the repre sentative Issues with the main drift down ward. Opportune support kept the move ment from becoming significant, but steadiness at some points were offset by depression elsewhere- Southern Pacific fell nearly a point and the Hill stocks were also heavy. Mexican Petroleum added 3 points to yesterday's rise on offi cial reports of probable earnings. Sraal holdings came on the market and stocks in which there were any transac tions sought a lower level, apart from a few specialties which were sustained by individual considerations.

HOLD STATE MEET. Manhattan Will Entertain High School Students of State. Manhattan. Kan., April 18. Plans for the state high school meet are well under way. This meet will be held at Manhattan May 17 on the athletic field of the Kansas Agricultural col lege. Guy S. Lowman, professor of physical education and director of athletics, will have charge of the ar rangements. The students of the col lege will organize into entertainment committees. President Waters has an nounced that he will grant a half holi day so that all the students of the col lege may be on hand when the first event is called. Arthur Capper of Topeka will give to the winning school a loving cup; to the individual point winner, a gold medal: to winners of first, second and third places, gold, silver and bronze medals. The Kansas Agricul tural college will award to the winners of the relay event a loving cup. INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE. Canada Canoe dab Would Compete With Yankees. New York. April 18. Revival of a race famous in a former generation is promised by receipt of a challenge from Canada for the New York Canoe club's international challenge cup. The challenge comes from the Gananoque Canoe and Motorboat club, which names Ralph E. Britton as its repre sentative and the local club has ac cepted, it was announced last night. The trophy, w-hich is for sailing ca noes, has been successfully defended by America in every race for the trophy, however, since 1895. Trial races open to members of all United States canoe clubs, will have to be held to select a defender. These probably will take place on July 3 to 5, off Staten Island. The international races will be sailed July 11, 12 and 14, in the same vicinity. St. Mary's 4; Campbell 3. St. Marys. April 18. St. Marys college won from Campbell college here Thurs day, 4 to 3. The visitors were unable to solves McCook's delivery, 13 of them dy ing via the strikeout route. A single and James Kelley, who has been trying for an outfield position with the Griz zlies, has been released by sale to Great Falls, Mont., of the Union As sociation. An option was retained as Manager Hendricks believes that with added experience, Kelley will develop into a good man. All he has lacked in spring training has been hitting. Peck Maney, recruited from the Chi cago semi-pros has been released out right. A bad throwing arm and ina bility to get his batting eye were the factors against him. The Denver club boasts two world's record holders. One of these is Grover Gilmore, the speed kid who tied the record for the bunt and dash to first base in an. official trial at Denver last year. The other is Harry Cassidy who, in six years of continuous service with the Cubs, has not missed a single game. No other plater in organized baseball has accomplished this feat. In the second game of the American League season, "Dutch" Leonard, last year's leading Western League south paw, (not in point of averages but in number of games) succeeded Bedient in the box and held thd Philadelphia Athletics to three hits for seven in nings. During that time he fanned seven and twice -at the bat himself, drew one hit off Plank. Boston lost but it was not Leonard's fault and in terviews with Jake Stahl have brought forth the statement that he expects "Dutch" to be the sensation of the season of 1913. Sioux City has one of the best sea soned clubs in the Western circuit this year and should be in the battle from the gong. Ducky Holmes, himself, an experienced general of the game, be lieves in veterans and an analysis of his nine shows that he has put the belief into practice. Pa Rourke, of Omaha, believes that umpires must be developed just as players are. While fanning the other day at Oklahoma City, he said: "If I had my way, we would get together a likely looking bunch of youngsters, put Jack Haskell in charge of them and The State Journal will give BASEBALL SCORES on Telephone No. 284 Please call that number train them from season to season, only taking in new men as needed. This business of changing umpires from day to day gets me and I am opposed to it." Oklahoma City bore a busy baseball look this season. Five Western League clubs, Denver, Topeka, Sioux City, Lincoln and Omaha appeared there at various times during the spring sea son and the hotels were crowded with ball players. That the town has still far to go, however, before it becomes of Western League class, was evidenc ed 1 by the fact that 100 people was very nearly a record crowd, despite the fact that he was there a month, playing nearly every day. Pa Rourke failed to reach the 2,000 mark in his grandstand. Yet there are some who think Topeka's franchise should be transferred A shift in training camps is a not improbable move on the part of sev eral Western League magnates next year. Texas has been run to death by major league squads and the cli mate is an uncertain quantity. Den ver had a proposition from Arizona this spring which was very nearly accepted and it is not improbable that the Bears will go to Colorado's sister state in 1914. It's surprising how some of the play ers retain their youth. Lee Quillin has been in fast baseball company for 12 years, yet he admits to not more than 26 years. Outfielder Choulnard, formerly of the Chicago White Sox and Des Moines, has been purchased by Chattanooga. "Baseball in Waterloo." remarks the Cedar Rapids Gazette, "ought to make a hit with the bull moosers. The en trance to the ball park is on Roosevelt street." Outfielder Fox, whom Holland sold to Des Moines this spring, is making good with Frank Isbell. Apparently he is a good hitter. The thermometer has nothing to do with the enjoyment of a sport fan. If it's in him, he always is one. Up in Alaska they're Whooping it up over sledge racing with dog teams. Some fears are expressed that the In jury to Roy Brashear will put him out of the game for weeks. Brashear broke a leg in the morning game between Los Angeles and Venice on April 6, in a collision with Ernie Johnson at second base. The Texas started right out like it means to be a pitchers' league again. Taylor of Austin held Fort Worth to four hits in the opener: Houston made but three off Browning of San Antonio and Davis made all of them; each team made but five in the Beaumont-Galves- ton game and Mullin, of Dallas, held Waco to five. Any pitcher who follows Walter John son in a game Is apt to get his bumps. After a team has faced the hurricane speed of Johnson for five or six innings, other pitchers, even though they be not ordinary look rather easy to the batters. Commenting on a report that 6.000 barrel of whlako-v ban Hn -v. away at Louisville and floated down lu river, jonn Kitcnie, or the Minne apolis Journal, noted that Rube Wad dell probably would stretch a net across the stream at Hickman, Ky., and go fishing with a derrick. Manager Jay Andrews, of Waterloo, la one of the few team bosses In the Cen tral Association this year who has been able to get practice for his men. His sojourn In Dea Mninu successful one and has given his men ioi or excellent experience with up per league players. The baseball pro moters in Waterloo n t-a kni-iHn, their new grounds into condition for iie practice wore, the rajn having set them back badly in this undertaking. JIrlled States ,ea". which wanted It known a month .i would raid organized leagues for play- nvuiu iTspfct no contracts now announces that it will observe the regulations of organized baseball. Per hap8 this magnanimous course was In fluenced by the fact that no players under contract to real leagues would consent to be "raided." rFSky". H?,,me8 3d another outfielder to his aggregation of fly chasers. The player Holmes is dick ering with is experienced and he should greatly strengthen the Packer batting department., The Waycross club of the Empire State League will boaxt this season of tne oniy xnnian manager in organized baseball. He is Charley Wahoo of jMiania, wno nas been signed to han J'""i ieam. wahoo has ready demonstrated his ability as college coach. I- Though Louis Heilbroner impatient ly Insists that the Central League will start its season on scheduled time. April 23, with Fort Wayne at Dayton, Springfield at Terre Haute and Grand Rapids at Evansville, and finish fly ing, the seekers after the hole In the doughnut are cocking their eyes to windward and "calcalatin' that the half-portion organization will not live through the summer. The six club layout over which Heilbroner presides was hard hit by the floods that caught Indiana and Ohio several weeks ago. Not a city escaped, only some were harder hit than others. The Spring field parks were flooded, but In each case divers have reported that the dia monds still are there, while Dayton and Terre Haute escaped so far as the ball parks were concerned, but In each of these cities the storms worked thousands of dollars worth of damages that will Jip business activities to a certainty. Speaking of the apparent weakness of the Bears, "Sandy" Griswold says: "Let Denver fall down and where ara we?" With all due respect for Denver's splendid patronage in the past, the league would manage to get along somehow if Denver was a bloomer this year. The mile high town is not by any means keeping the league on Its feet. The Denver baseball club haa sold good old Pitcher El Klnsella to the Sacramento Senators of the Pacific Coast League. To replace Klnsella the Bears' management has purchased Pitcher Mel Wolfgang, a right hand heaver, from the Chicago White Sox. Well, Jawn KUng has returned to the game! The baseball season never Is fairly on until Jawn decides wheth er he is going to quit the diamond and give his undivided attention to his Kansas City poolhall, or devote "Just one more" to the national pastime. This season Kling will be with the Cincinati Reds and he ought to do them some good. His work hasn't been so brilliant as it once was, since 1-e left the Chicago Cubs, but he is stirf there with the goods. He didn't like to go to Boston and no doubt Is glad that he Is to become a member of one of the western teams of the big league again. However, Jawn's work always has been conscientious and of a highly creditable average. Manager Ganzel of the Rochester baseball club, has protested to the na tional baseball commission against the formation of a club like the one that Ty Cobb has been managing so far this spring. He claims that on his All Georgia club are three International League holdouts, and although up to the present time the Detroit team has not suffered much on account of Cobb's holding out, at the same time the Rochester team, which depends much on McMillan, who is with Cobb, is in a tight hole. Ganzel claims that the formation and the playing of teams like that managed by Cobb is In di rect violation of the baseball agree ment.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. If Japan decides to boycott Cali fornia the chances are that California will be greatly pleased. The Jury that appraised the value of a wife's love at 15 cents had in mind one particular wife. A St. Louis man dropped dead while starting the kitchen fire. This should be a warning to all wives. "We seem to notice that the girls with the prettiest faces wear their dresses out highest in the neck. Dr. Cook has been ordered out of a western hotel. Probably he mistook the register for those lost records. Two of Chicago's leading states men are now referred to in the news papers as H. Dink and B. H. John. Hetty Green must pay $120,000 a year income tax. Uncle Sam is lay ing the foundation for a case of he.art failure. Most folks would willingly agree to give the government half of any lega cies coming to them in excess of $15, 000,000. The colonel finds much in the late Mr. Morgan to commend regardless of the fact that "he was politically opposed to me." Labor unions no longer have a mo nopoly in strikes. We now nave the school strike, the hunger strike and the political strike. "The senate is now; full for the first time in two years," skys tie telegraph. Considering its reputation, that is do ing remarkably well. Possibly the Baltimore man who dent to jail for six days rather than ride six months on the water wagon Is subject to car sickness. If it were not for the United States i navy cust 'st t fn fighting might become a lost art in i Central and South American ports. The rule of "ladles r first" does not seem to apply In Belgium, where a big strike has been inaugurated for the purpose of obtaining votes for men. It seems that working girls are not alone in the need of a minimum wage law. It is said that a New York po liceman cannot live decently on his salary. The Philadelphia street car company has taken precautions against the pos sibility of a May day strike by an nouncing an advance in wages effec tive on the first of the month. A Los Angeles woman has been re fused a divorce which she sought on the ground that her clergyman-husband would not allow her to use more than eight matches a day. It must be that the woman smokes. The California legislature has passed a bill prohibiting moving pic tures from exhibiting girls with fly ing skirts. In the natural course of events this should be followed by one forbidding women to appear on the streets on a windy day. The Democrat majority in the na tional house has been increased by one as the result of the election in the Thirteenth Massachusetts district. The Bull Moose vote was 3.200 below that of the successful candidate. It Is becoming apparent that the big in surgent vote last fall was largely due to the colonel's personal presence in the campaign. "Hamlet" with the prince left out is not drawing large houses. If high prices are due to increasing production of gold, as is being urged by some political economists, there seems little chance for an early re turn to a lower level. Each succeed ing year marks an increase in the value of the gold output in the Trans vaal, which is now responsible for considerably more than one-third of the world's supply. While for the year 1911 the value of the gold produced by the mines of the .Transvaal reached the total of $170,286,718, last year's figures are $18,326,947 In ex cess of the previous year, the value of the 1912 output being $188,618,655. In 1911 the gold output of the world was estimated as about $437,267,125, of which the Transvaal produced 36 per cent, the United States 20 per cent and Australia 12 per cent POINTERS MAX BE FOUND. Now that the state penitentiary must be, to a considerable extent, re built it .might be well for those in charge of the work to take a look at the new prison recently completed by Minnesota, at a cost of $2,000,000. Quoting from an article In Popular Mechanics: It was constructed on lines which make it one of the best and most modern, architecturally. In the United States, if not In the whole world. Its buildings, which are strict ly fireproof, afe plain, but substan tial and comfortable, following in con struction all the laws and rules for obtaining the best hygienic and sani tary conditions. It is located two or three miles from the old, at Stillwater. The site was selected with particular care as to location and source of pure spring water, the prison' farm covering 160 acres, and the prison Inclosure proper, 22 acres. From the front Is a broad view of the St. Croix valley, and In the pretty country at the rear is a spring capable of furnishing 1,500,000 gallons of pure, cold water daily. The buildings are of brick, sur rounded by a concrete stockade 26 feet In height. There are two cell houses, each containing 512 cells. Practically one-third the outside walls of these houses is glass, and there are skylights over the halls, the result be ing a vast change from the dark, dis mal cells of the past. A hospital, thoroughly equipped, adjoins the administration building. The factory buildings and ware houses for the manufacture of farm machinery and binder twine, which are this prison's big industries, are thoroughly modern manufacturing buildings in every respect. CALIFORNIA AND THE JAPANESE. While congress is trying to pass a law removing the prohibitive duties from the tariff, California is engaged in enacting legislation forbidding alien ownership of land, if the alien in ques tion happen to be what is called an Oriental. The proposed California law is aimed primarily at the Japanese who as farmers and horticulturists have come into successful competition with the white people of those classes. It makes an exception in favor of natur alized citizens but the federal law for bids citizenship to the Japanese, al though granting it to all the white or black people in the world, for the ask ing. The bill already has passed one house of the legislature and there seems little room for doubt that It wiD be adopted by the other one. That such legislation will be resented bv Japan seems certain. California ap pears to be within her rights in the matter and it is up to the United States to shoulder the responsibility. The granting of the privilege of citi zenship to the subjects of the mikado would of course end the controversy in this case, but then we probably should have the Chinese to deal with The exclusion laws seem to be based on nothing more, than prejudice and a desire to shut out competition. No more industrious, peaceful, law- abiding people come to our shores than these same Orientals. There is not a more progressive, up to date nation in the world than Japan and In any con troversy that may grow out of the present situation she is likely to have the svmpathv of the remainder of the rld' President Wilson Is likely to calling for the most careful and intel ligent handling; also with a fine op portunity to play politics. THE AVAR ON TUBERCULOSIS. Dr. Friedmann has found a fertile field for his operations in this coun try. Registration and reporting of living cases of tuberculosis, In a manner sim ilar to the reporting of other infec tious diseases, is now required by state law or regulation of boards of health in 33 states and territories out of 53. Five years ago only 14 states had leg islation on this subject. The Increase Is looked upon as a sign of markei progress in the anti-tuberculosis move ment by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu losis, which has just issued a bulletin on this subject. Based on figures obtained from cases of tuberculosis reported in Cleveland, New York, and other cities where thorough registration is employed, it is estimated that for every death from consumption in the United States, of which there are on an average 200.000 annually, there are constantly more than five living cases, making at least 1,000,000 in all. Of this million cases, it is estimated that the health authori ties have records of not more than 100,000 to 150,000, or one in every eight or ten, and that, for the great major ity of cases recorded, no hospital, home, or dispensary care is provided. Prac tically nothing can be done to control the spread of tuberculosis in the un reported cases. Of the 33 states where reporting of cases is required, adequate or reason ably complete records are kept in not more than eight.' Twenty states and territories have no laws or regulations requiring the reporting of tuberculosis and in most of these states consump tion is not classified officially by the health authorities as a communicable. Infectious disease. These states are, Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas,' Delaware, Florida, Georgia. Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky. Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Nortn Dakota, Ohio, Philippine Islands, South Dakota and Wyoming. Special laws requiring reporting and registrations of tuberculosis have been passed in Colorado, Connecticut, Dis trict of Columbia. Kansas. Maine. Maryland, Michigan. Mississippi. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. In 20 oth er states tuberculosis Is included in the lists of infectious diseases that must be reported by physicians. In concluding Its bulletin, the Na tional Association says: "Reporting of living cases of tuberculosis to the local and state health authorities is the first requisite in any adequate campaign to control the disease. No efforts to pre vent the spread of consumption can be successful until the actual living cases are both known and properly cared for."

The best that houses and land and money can do for you is to add to your comfort and convenience, but comfort and convenience lack a good deal of being happiness. He only is rich Who is happy, and he only Is happy who feels rich. The necessities of life are few. Given light and warmth and simple food and clothing and plenty of fresh air, and you have just about as much as your richest neighbor. Tou have little need to worry about the rest. The richest man Is he that has found his work and does it joy ously. He has what money cannot buy nor poverty take away the privilege of being of use in the world. Work, real work, work that builds up and r-gen- ates society, work that in some shape or otner outlives the ages, is easy to find. It is gold that may be yours or any man's for the asking it Is treas ure that moth and rust cannot cor rupt nor thieves break through and steal. Don't get the wrong notion concern ing work. It Is Its own reward. If your efforts are appreciated, that Is so much "velvet." If they bring you fame and money, the world has added a small and relatively unimportant premium to the prize of service that you have won for yourself. The worker not only is rich, but, more important still, he feels rich. He possesses all that he comes into contact with. The old popullstic doctrine which said that the rights of tl-e user are paramount to the rights of the 'owner is more than true in his case. For while that prin ciple might cause untold trouble if applied to the legal ownership of physical property, it Is, in a higher sense than this, as true as gospel. The user is the owner. No matter how clear your title to anything you cannot own It In a psychological sense unless you use it and use it so earnest ly that it becomes a part of you. The best and most beautiful things in the world can't be controlled by private ownership based upon purchase or seizure. Your neighbor may have bought a beautiful picture or laid out a charming garden, but the moment that you see either and enjoy it it is yours. The famous libraries of the earth are In a fine sense not the properties of com munities, of government or individuals. They belong to the minds that have assimilated each its part of their con tents. You may never have see Lon don, yet if you read, the treasures of the British museum are yours. To see, to use, to enjoy that is to be rich. We are as rich as we feel and he Is poor indeed who does not feel rich. (Copyrighted, 1913, by W. 12. Williams.) PY THE WAY BT HARVEY PARSONS.

THE EVENING STORY j Samuel's Admiration. (By John Darling.) Next to the young minister from the city Samuel Splcer was the best catch in Beam's Corners, and in the eyes of Mehitable Smithers the minister lagged far behind in eligbilty. Samuel Spicer undoubtedly had many points in his favor. He was postoffice clerk, to be gin with; he was studjM- Spanish on the phonograph night and morning, subscribed to three magazines and sang tenor In the church quartet. But Mehitable's eligibility lay en tirely in the fact that she was Me hitable, and the coincidence, that she was penniless, wholly dependent on the generosity of her kind-hearted uncle and aunt; that she knew no language but her own, and couldn't carry a tune, were facts that Samuel Splcer felt a certain pleasurable sense of gen erosity In overlooking. "Mehitable," he used to say as they sat on her uncle's front porch after the work at the postoffice was done for the day, "Mehitable, I can't get over thinking now wonderful it all is. To think that it was you you out of all the girls in the world!" This thought, though productive of a feeling of elation in the heart of Sam uel Spicer, was far from stimulating to Mehitable. It did not seem at all won derful to her that she had fallen in love with Samuel because he was quite obviously the most attractive and de sirable man in Beam's Corners, and his superiority over the men in the other parts of the world she was per fectly willing to take on faith. But having a woman's tact she only pressed Samuel's hand tenderly when he aired this point of view, and then she tried to change the subject. But Samuel liked to dwell on it. "Of course, I have known more beautiful women" it seemed absurd to Mehitable to speak of the pretty girls In Beam's Corners as beautiful women, and obviously he had known no others and I have known cleverer v--".es and women with greater fortunes and with more accomplishments. I could admire them, Mehitable, but I could never love them." Then Mehitable would smile play fully, though as a matter of fact she was ill-pleased with Samuel's would-be compliment. When. Mehitable got the'first iiSkling of: the fact" thETtshe Was to1' inherit her: great aunt's fortune an inheritance large .enough- to make her by far the best-endowed young- woman in Beam's Corners she said nothing to Samuel about it. She waited till she was sure, waited. In fact, till she had the paper in- her hand which proved the fact be yond a doubt. At last, thought she. at last she had the wherewithal to fill Samuel's greatest expectation. Now she could become accomplished, and she could buy the clothes that would make her beautiful, and learn lan guages not her own, and so demand Samuel's admiration as well as his love. With hands that were cold with pent- up excitement, and a heart that thumped like a trip-hammer In her young breast, she waited for Samuel one night to tell him of her great good fortune. 'While she was waiting she recalled the times that Samuel had told her that for her sake he was giving up the hours that he might have de voted to his own education. Now thought Mehitable, there would be enough money for them both to gain an education and the accomplishments that were apparently part of Samuel's dream of happiness. But when Mehitable told Samuel of her good fortune he seemed to fade away from her. He tried to smile and share her happiness. "Samuel," she coaxed, thinking that he did not realize the truth of what she had told him "it means many thousands of dollars for us both every year. It means that I shall have a chance to become accomplished, that I can dress as prettily as any girl you ever knew. It means that you can go to college if you want to Sam, it is all your dreams come true." But Samuel felt a disappointment that he did not understand. He wanted to know that he was everything to Me hitable. "Samuel," Mehitable was saying, "just think,, it will mean a college edu cation for you. We will still be young when you are through "I didn't know. Mehitable, that I wasn't good enougn as I was," said Samuel, feeling the color coming into his cheeks. "I didn't know that just because you had a fortune in your own name that you would change your mind about me." Mehitable tried to explain, but Samuel, though in his heart he knew that Mehitable had meant -no offense, indulged his spirit of pique to the utmost. So It was that on the very day that people in Beam's Corners heard of Mehitable's good fortune, she returned to Samuel the little ring she had worn with so much pride for so many months. When autumn came she went to the city school. The min ister and her girl friends and her un cle and aunt went to see her off and Samuel, from a corner of the postof fice watched with bitterness of heart as he saw the last gray cloud of smoke from the locomotive that carried her away. Hard as this was it was not till weeks had increased to months that Samuel realized the depth of his loss. He thought of her as he had first known her he recalled the appealing simplicity of her ways then and the delight she had shown in his various accomplishments. Mehitable Smith ers was a thing oi tne past, ana in T?er nlace was the wealthy Miss Smith ers, who every day was growing fur ther from him. After three months Memtable came back. She had not even told her aunt and uncle that she was coming and the fact was that she came only be cause she could stay away no longer. It was early In the morning, about the time that most folks In Beam's Cor ners were having breakfast, that she stepped from the train that brought her from the city to her native home. The strange thing about it was that she was not in the least surprised at the time to see Samuel Spicer stand ing there, and then to see him run to ward her and help her to alight. He helped her into his old buggy and took his seat beside her quite as if nothing had happened. For a few minutes they drove on in silence. Then Samuel turned to her. "Have you come home for good?" he asked her. "Oh, yes," said Mehitable. "I couldn't stand being away any long er from Beam's Corners." Samuel felt strangely unable to express himself. He put one large hand gently over her little glove. thinking that she would understand. "I am sorry for what I did," he final ly managed to say. "It was all my fault," Then as he felt Mehitable draw away from him he became more fluent told her with feeling that Mehitable did not know he possessed that he wanted her to forgive him and begin all over again. Still Mehitable held off. "If you loved me," she said at length. "I think you would have come to me In the city. You could have found out easily enough where the school was." "Didn't I tell you?" Samuel ex claimed in surprise. "Didn't you know? How did you think I hap pened to be at the station at that time in the morning? Why, I thought, of course, I told you. I was just com ing in to the city myself, to find you." Samuel laughed as he thought of it. "It's funny how you happened to be coming in Just the very morning I was going to get you." He drew a small cardboard from his pocket. "See, here is my ticket, if you don't believe me, and I have a substitute at the postoffice. You can see for your self." For a minute they were both silent. "It seems a shame to have that substitute there for nothing." Samuel finally said. "And I have my ticket all paid for." ''Can't you go away?" Mehitable said. "I don't somehow want to go alone," said Samuel. Then he looked steadily at the girl at his side. She met his look and laughed. "Why not, Mehitable?" Samuel said after a minute more in which he had turned the buggy around and was driving back in the direction of the station. "No one expects us back here at Beam's Corners. You're all dressed for traveling. Come on; we can catch the next express if we hur ry." Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) J EVENING CHAT 9T KOTSl CAMKROK. What to Do When Tired. When you find yourself suddenly getting very tired long before the end of your day's Journey, what do you generally do? Do you simply endure it as best you can, dragging yourself wearily through the heat and burden of the day until nightfall gives you the right to crawl iij to bed, too weary to sleep? Or do you take yourself In hand and do what you can to make yourseif more fit?' When I begin to find that logy, tired, life-is-a-burden feeling creeping over me,-the first thing I do is to open all the windows and air out. I leave them open a few minutes, going Into another room, if necessary. Before I close them I take a few simple deep-breathing exercises. Try this the next time and see If It doesn't help. Of course, if you can go out for a brief Walk, that's better still. Walk five or. ten minutes and then go in and talk to some cheerful neighbor a few minutes more. That will rest your mind, ana you will nnd that mind rest communicates itself to the body, if you can't go out, try lying down and either relaxing or rending some amus ing book, no matter if you can't spare more than ten minutes. Every little helps a lot at times like these. Ask yourself about tie state of your stomach. It may be that you are hungry. Hunger and weariness are twin sisters, and sometimes we don't know them apart. Again and again when I find myself growing tired and cross I discover that hunger is the real trouble, and that some hot mil will put me on my feet at once. Re member that hot foods are always more resttui tnan cold. On the other hand, your stomach may be overloaded. There is nothing makes one feel more logy and sleepy than to have an overloaded alimen tary canal. Weariness, the scientists tell us, is simply a kind of poison in the blood, and the alimentary canal steadily pours the most powerful poison into tne Diooa wnen it is overloaded. Again, your excessive weariness may be the sign of a cold or infection as the doctors nowadays prefer to call it and it may not be too late to forestall it- Loosening one's clothes if one is in the habit of wearing tight things is always very resttui. jr you have been walking a good deal and your feet are very tired, take off your shoes and put on tome slippers. Sometimes soul .rest as well as mind rest can be translated into body rest. I have a friend who always lies down and listens to one or two of her fa vorite pieces on her phonograph when she feels herself getting too tired. My self, I have often found some help in looking up ct a certain very restful picture which hangs on my living room wall. But whatever you do. do something. Don't Just submit to the torture of traveling the long day's road with the horrible shackles of utter weariness fastened to your feet. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. I From the Chicago News. And many a homely woman presides over a happy home. One thing worse than a quitter is the chap who is afraid to begin. Even a blind man can go out looking for trouble and find it, too. To strike a man for a loan is one thing. A successful touch is another. After fortune has smiled on a man he can afford to laugh and grow fat. Besides the people who evade the truth because they are polite, there are others. Women are difficult to- understand be cause they never try to make themselves plain.

This should end an ancient and very profitable graft in Kansas. For several years the patrons of the City schools of this state have paid out about as much money for supple mentary books as they have for adopted texts. They have been told by the superintendents that these extra books are necessary to the advance ment of their children. As most par ents want their children to get on in their studies regardless of the cost of books they have come across with the money. This decision will be a little rough on these superintendents who are in the service of the book com panies. There are not a few school men In Kansas who get part of their salary and about all their prestige from the support of the book com panies engaged in foisting illegal school books on the people of this state. These gentry will now either turn honest on compulsion or go to jail if they persist in violating the law. During the past ten or fifteen years the people of Kansas have been rob bed of enough money by the Ward reader fraud to build a printing plant with capacity to manufacture all the books needed in the state for all time to come. Is it goodby to the Ward readers and the fat pickings for crook ed superintendents? Salina Union. THE INHERITANCE LAW. The last legislature repealed the old In heritance tax law and failed to substitute a new one In its place. The old law was unfair in that the ex emption was too low. But the principle of Inheritance tax is right. Kansas can just as well have a couple of hundred thou sand dollars a year from inheritances as not and the last legislature was derelict in nt. doing its duty by providing a fail law. The people know that It is fair to tax in -heritances and they want a law that will do this. The last law of course is not de fended but the principle Is In operation in most of the-states. fully three-fourths in fact. Lawrence Journal. FROM OTHER PENS THE PRESIDENT'S HUMAN WAY. Mr. Wilson's first comment on the results of the election was: "The peo ple have sentenced me to hard labor in the White House for four years." Pres ident Wilson's way is the way of a man who believes that the way to serve th people is to serve them. His dignity, he knows, will take care of itself if he follows the dictates of reason and conscience. He insists on being a man and a faithful servant. What he did at Princeton and later at Trenton ho i doing at Washington. There are politicians who shake their heads and wish to know whither we are drifting as a nation when the president not only leads a message to congress in person but walks over to the capi tol, confers with senators,, discusses tariff schedules and argues for or against proposed changes as man to man with opponent or doubter. Well, we are not drifting at all. We are moving under enlightened direction toward simple and efficient manage ment of public affairs. If Mr. Wilson's ways are "revolutionary," the peopla will want more of such revolution. To talk about usurpation or coercion in this connection is childish. The man who argues, who serves, who labors without ostentation or ceremony, is no dictator or usurper. He merely shows that he means what he says and knows the meaning of the terms he uses. Let senators and representatives put away idle fears and get down to busi ness. Let them discuss rates and rev enue as servants of the people who wish to ascertain the right thing and do It. Legislative dignity, governmen tal stability, the foundations of free government will take care of them selves. Honesty, publicity and effi ciency have never yet threatened a sound republic. Buncombe, selfish ness, dishonesty, cheap politics and be trayal of the people are the things thac endanger free government. Chicago Record-Herald. AN EATER OF RAW FOODS.

England, containing teeth which had abscesses at the roots "as a result of overwear," with exposure of the pulp cavities. The Hailing man. Prof. Keith teaches, may have belonged to a totally different genus of human being a branch that was not in direct line of descent to modern man. Some defect of living habit, either Instinc tive or acquired, doomed this race to extinction some tens of thousands of years ago. Was it his persistent con sumption of raw foods? It is possible, of course, to get sub sistence from roots, grains, and herbs in which the nourishing starch has not burst the confines of its cellulose coverings by the application of heat. Such food requires severe comminu tion, however, for which the buccal apparatus of the ruminant animals Is best adapted. Pasturing kine "fletch erizing" their cuds eke out a peaceful but laborious existence. Man, doubt less, was constrained to imitate their method in remote ages. But like his modern counterpart among the dietlc faddists, he could not long survive New York Times. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. It's when opportunity doesn't knock that our friends do. We all descend from our ancestors, but some of us rise above them. Mighty few of us are what we think other people ought to think we are. The successful man Is naturally stuck on his own particular brand of success. A man takes a woman for better or for worse, and lucky is the fellow who strikes the happy medium. It may sound like an Irish bull, but most girls know more than they ought to and not as much as they should. A little learning Is a dangerous thing. And this epigram was current long before the day of the automobile. An ideal is a beautiful thing, but the trouble is that after we attain it we are always looking around for another. Wlgg "The modern woman is living at a raDld pace." Wagg "And vet It takes woman mucn longer to reach the age of 30 than it takes a man." 'Any man can make a fool of himself." remarked the Wise Guy. "Yes, but If he has a woman's help it comes much easier," added the 81mple Mug. 'Father," said the .small boy. "what is meant by the 'pork barrel' in politics?"

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRNAIr-FRIDAY EVENING- APRIL 18. 1913. STATE FEARS FIRE TVntiTA Council Recalls Lansing Prison Blaze. Will Improye Conditions in the State House. REMOVE DEFECTIVE WIRING Spend $10,000 to Improve Con ditions at Capitol. Governor Hodges Says State's Property Is in Danger. Fearful that the state house might be the scene of a repetition of the TjinHino- nenitentiary fire of last Sat urday, the executive council will at once begin the work of replacing prac tically every foot of the electrical n Ing now in the state house and will rebuild the heat and light tunnels lead ing to the state heating plant. About $10,000 will be spent to Improve safety conditions In the state house and to safeguard the building against possiDle damage by fire. In many parts of the state house the electrical wiring is in a bad condition. This condition is specially true in the eub basement and east wing of the building. For several years the neces sity of improved electrical wiring has been urged and recommended, but the legislatures always reticent in the matter of Topeka appropriations have gone home without taking action. In an urgent appeal for enough money to replace the almost worthless heat and light tunnels, the recent body of law makers was duced to set aside enough money to do the work. State Architect Chandler has practically com pleted his plana for the improvement and work will start as soon as the contracts are let. Fire Ianrer Is Grave. Conditions in the east wing of the house for years made the danger from fire most serious. The east wing of the building erected years ago. in the days when the art of fire-proofing iwas unknown. The remaining three wings of the building are practically fireproof. Yet a fire in the east wing of the capitol building would mean that thousands of dollars damage would be done in the entire structure Smoke would practically ruin the marble walls of the building and -there Is little to prevent a fire eating its way into the historical society on the fourth floor of the Duiiaing. It is with a realization of these con ditions that work on the needed re pairs will be hastened. Xot only will the executive council install new electric wiring, but will order the building of a new heat and light tunnel from the state house to the state heating plant. The present tunnel is in bad condition. Electric wires, encased in a light coat of lead are laid directly on top of the rows of leaky heat mains. This condition has caused the lead surrounding the electric wires to melt and the state house has been in constant danger of being shut off from its light supply. Yet not until this year was money available to improve this condition. Plans for the new tunnel call for a waterproof structure through which a man may walk and make daily inspec tions of the heat and light mains. In addition to ordering a larger tunnel the executive council will detree that the electric light cables and the heat mains shall be laid entirely separate and that every possibility of future trouble shall be removed. Governor Hodges Sounds AVarning. Xot only- the state house, but the executive mansion and the school for the deaf at Olathe are in constant danger from fire, according to Gover nor George H. Hodges. "Some day." said Governor Hodges as ne watcnea tne lire at the Lansing penitentiary last Saturday, "the state will have a fire in the state house, the executive mansion and the deaf school at Olathe. Something ought to be done to Improve these conditions. It wouldn't surprise me any night to be compelled to turn in a fire alarm from the executive mansion. The condition of the electrical wiring in the house is something terrible for a property owned by the state. The situation at the Olathe school is not much better." But there is no money with which to repair these structures and the state, which carries its own insurance on the 20 million dollars worth of .,.;i.h-i ViIh nrnnnrtv whioh it OW118. must take its chances until some fu ture legislature maKes an appropria tion for improvements.

Thelr medical laboratory is famous and is conducted by renowned expert In Mood and skin Uia,Mti Secretary of State Charles Sessions has served notice that he has aoanaon' ed at least one state house reform That reform is the fight on the 1913 dandelion crop. This year the dande lion will be allowed to blossom and rjrosDer without interference on the part of the executive council or its members. When Sessions became secretary of state two years ago, he declared war on the dandelion. In his declaration he enlisted a good bit of sympathy and wide commendation. As a newspaper correspondent for years prior his elec tion as a state house official, faessions had observed with much disapprova the unchecked growth and prosperity of the little yellow flower to the exclu sion of the blue grass sod. So the new secretary of state started in to rid the state of a common nuisance and eye sore. The first year that Sessions mare his fight on the dandelion, lie wasn t very successful. But last year the secre tary of state started early. He began his fight with the first days of spring and never stopped until irost came im mediately following the November elec tion returns. That fight which Ses sions waged against the dandelion will for years be part of the unwritten history of the state. With a sympathetic executive coun cil behind him, Sessions put every jani tor on the lob. First he tried digging the several million dandelions out by the roots. But that was a slow and tedious process. Then a public spirited person told the secretary of state that salt was sure death to dandelions at a distance of ten feet. Sessions used three barrels of salt in the experiment. Next gasoline was suggested. In the fight on the dandelions In the south state house park. Sessions used just 180 gallons of the very best gasoline made by the Standard Oil company. Then cold weather came and Sessions told his friends that with the coming of a new spring there would be no dande lions south of the state house. Old Crop Prospered. Possibly gasoline was just the thing that the dandelion needed to insure its greatest development as a flower. Sessions says he dosn't know. But this spring the south park, as well as the park on the north, east and west of the state house, is matted with yel low beauty a blooming tribute to Sessions' greatest endeavor. Sessions gave up in sorrow and disgust. "The fight is over so far as I am concerned," sighed the secretary of state today as he sadly looked out of his office windows onto a park of yel low and green. "If there is anything that will stop the growth of a dande lion. I don't know it and I've tried and experimented with every dande lion crop killer which I ever neara or. No, sir, you can just put it down that I am not in the dandelion fight this year. I give up." But, who will conduct tne ngntT" Sessions was asked. I don't know. Anyone who wants the contract can have a disclaimer of honor from me. Fact is," admitted Sessiona. "I don't think there is any one or anything that can in any way discourage the growth and develop ment of that flower. It was suggested that Governor Hodges be given the honor of con ducting the 1913 dandelion crusade. But the new Democratic executive was inclined to view the offer with some misgiving. He thought the dandelion should be suppressed, admitted that even a Democratic legislative enact ment wouldn't help and suggested that Attorney General Dawson be consult ed to search the statutes and constitu tional provisions for possible relief. Dawson said there were no remedies at his disposal In fact he didn't want to be connected with the dandelion scandal in any manner. And now the executive council is awaiting the offer of volunteer patriots to continue the fight which Sessions started two years ago. HIS GAS ESCAPED. Brucker Forced to Postpone Trans atlantic Balloon Flight. Las Palmas, Canary Islands, April 18. Joseph Brucker, romerly of Mil waukee, failed to start as scheduled today on his proposed Transatlantic flight to the West Indies in the dirigi ble balloon Suchard II. Just as all preparations had been completed for the flight at daybreak this morning the gas escaped in some manner through the chief valve and the en velope suddenly became deflated. Urgent telegrams were sent to Ger many for a further supply of gas. En gineer Kruger. who had been engaged to navigate the dirigible at the last moment made some demur about un dertaking the voyage, and the promo ters of the flight took out $50,000 in surance in his behalf. Brucker ex pressed extreme annoyance over the accident. A large crowd, which had waited for hours hoping to see the departure of the airship, manifested much disgust at the postponement of the voyage. ITEM) MEET AT STAFFORD.

Bnt Madame Labadie Was Entitled to Crowded House. Only 150 persons attendee" the inter pretation of the play "Tomorrow" given by Mme. Harriet Labadie. The entertainment which was given under the auspices of the Women's Commer cial club was deserving of a larger au dience. The proceeds will go towards the home garden fund. Mme. Labadie has a pleasing voice and an unlimited power of holding the attention of her audience. She was adjudged by many of those present the most efficient reader who has been heard in Topeka in several years. The play "Tomorrow' deals with an ethical question which is- undergoing much discussion in the world at the present time. According to the author. Percy McKaye, there should be as much attention paid to the betterment and upbuilding of humanity by selec tion as there is to the breeding of good stock and plants. The scenes are laid in northern Cal ifornia in the garden of Peter Dale, a grower of fine trees, plants and flow ers. He had one daughter in whom he had instilled this idea of selection. But when it came time for her to choose a mate she entirely overlooked a young man whom she had known all her life and who was a model of perfection. She choose instead a sena tor with whom she had been acquaint ed but one month and of whom she knew absolutely nothing. To make a long story short the fact that there was insanity and blindness in the fam ily of the senator gradually leaked out, and the girl was finally saved from what would probably have been a life of misery by the young man of ideal character. She realized that her lancy for the E.-nator was just a wild passion. Charge Against Teacher Dismissed. Pittsburg, April 18. Superintendent S. L. Heeter of the Pittsburg public schools was today declared, not guilty of two serious charges preferred against him by Ethel I.

Clogged Bowels a Menace to Health Constipation at Bottom of Most Serious Illnesses Avoided by a Simple Remedy Trace the origin of the commoner ills of life and almost invariably you will find that constipation was the cause. It is not to be expected that a mass of fermented food can remain in the sys tem beyond its time without vitiating the blood and affecting the nerves and muscles. It congests the entire body. The results are colds, fevers, piles, headaches and nervousness with its eompanying indigestion and sleepless ness. There is only one thing to do. and that is to remove the trouble; and when nature seems unable to do it, out Bide aid is necessary. Tou will find the best of all outside aids a remedy that many thousands are now using for this very purpose, called Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Many hundreds of let ters are received by Dr. Caldwell tell ing of the gocd results obtained, and among the enthusiastic letters is one from Docia Wood of Little River Academy. North Carolina, who suffered .with constipation and indigestion no badly that she could not sleep well at night and everything she ate distressed l--er.

Thurston, who for forty-two years has been connected with the Bank of Topeka twenty-six years as cashier has tendered his resignation in order to accept the presidency of the Farmers' National bank which will soon be opened in Topeka. The resignation of Mr. Thurston came as a surprise to the officials of the Bank of Topeka. As yet no action has been taken relative to filling the vacancy left by the resignation. The new concern will open in tem porary quarters in the old home of the Prudential State bank. A state charter has been granted but a na tional charter has been applied for, it being the intention of the bank to operate as a national institution. H. G. West, formerly of Junction City, will serve as cashier of the new bank. It is understood that Robert Stone will act as attorney for the in stitution. Topekans connected with the new concern include Armin Fas sler, Guilford Dudley, Paul Huycke, Carroll Merriam, Hnery Auerbach.Mrs. Jonathan Thomas and Harold T. Chase. Mrs. Jennie. S. Gordon, the widow. brought a partition suit for a division of the property claiming a widow's dower. The suit- was filed against Dr. L. H. Mann and his wife, Lillie Gor- don-Munn, the latter being a daugh ter or Mr. Gordon and stepdaughter of tne widow. The claim of the defense was that Mrs. Gordon was not entitled to a dower on account of an ante nuptial agreement, which, however, never was produced In court. Mrs. Gordon declared the agreement had been destroyed by herself and husband before his death. By the terms of the agreement, which will be incorporated in stipulations filed in the case in the next few days for dismisal, Mrs. Gordon receives half of the money and securities valued at aDout 34.uou. She then receives a 66- acre farm north of North Topeka. 7 acres east of the city on Seward ave nue and a lot at the corner of Curtis and Jackson streets in North Topeka. A former decision of the court held valid a deed made to her by Mr. Gor don to the Gordon home in Potwin and to a 130-acre farm near the To peka cemetery. Mrs. Munn receives a 344-acre farm west of North Topeka, r. half interest in six lots at Fifth and Polk streets. a lot on Kansas avenue, 40 acres in Arkansas and about 100 acres in Texas. The first hearing of the case was before Judge A. W. Dana, in which Mrs. Gordon was awarded half of the property, and the case was reversed because a jury had been denied. It was tried again before Judge George H. Whitcomb with a similar result. and was reversed on other technicali ties. The last trial had been finished and the jury had been deliberating three days when one of the jurors, after going home one night, killed him self by taking carbolic acid. The de fense refused to leave the matter in the hands of the eleven men left and the Jury was discharged. The case was set for a fourth hearing before Judge W hitcomb for Monday, April 28. It will now be dismissed upon stipu lation of both sides, barring another action. BRYAN TO ST. LOUIS. Secretary of State Will Speak at Na tional Peace Congress. St. Louis, April 18. W. J.

It costs as much to feed a poor cow as a good one, and test your milk, and when you get one mat is low in butterfat sell her to the butcher, and try again. There is plenty of good cows to be had, if you are on the lookout for them. One day's buying of cream by one of the buyers in Brewster, showed that he shipped 24 ten gallon cans or cream August 12. 1911. This would make 1,920 pounds of cream taken in one day, and they paid for it $153.60. The cream business is the one busi ness that can pull western Kansas right up by her boot straps.

A ana a oroom suck were the implements by which some of the prisoners in the county jan acquired a supply of "jag juice" Tuesday evening;. the supply being a part of the "evidence" In the case of me ram on tne automobile, .pulled off by the sheriff's force in January. A hilar ious time, accompanied by some' efforts to set the jail on fire was the result of their enterprise. Both the hilarity and the flames were extinguished by the vig orous action of the sheriff's men. The liquor was in a "telescope" grip, in the back end of the padded cell, up stairs. But it is the custom to let the prisoners out of the big cell into the hall at meal time so they kan go to the dining room. This gave them access to the door of the padded cell,, and for some time they have been making preparations to capture some of the liquor.

He came to Washington as a clerk in the auditor's office of the postoffice department in 1881, and rose therein through the several grades of clerk- ship to the chiefship of one of its money order auditing divisions In j 1897, a position he held when he died. It was in 1857 when the deceased j became a resident of Topeka. He was educated in the common schools and Pond's Business college. After com- i pleting a course in pharmacy at Kan-! sas City, he entered as a clerk in tne pension agency at Topeka during 1874 at. which time his father was pension agent. In 1879 he engaged in the banking business, becoming cash ier of the Blue Valley bank at Man-' hattan. He was made a Master Mason in Harmony lodge. No. 17, this city, Feb-' ruary 23, 1888, and was its worshipful master in 1896. He was made a Royal Arch Mason in Columbia Royal Arch chapter, No. 1. February 20, 1889, and became its high priest in 1896. He was knighted in Columbia Command- 1 ery. No. 2, December 13, 1889, and J became its eminent commander in i 1897.

"He was one of the best liked men who ever served in this office, a competent and trustworthy chief of division. He was a man among men. honest in thought, in purpose and in deed. To the office he Kave his best service; to h-is associates and friends courtesy and inspiring ideals, and to those bound by stronger and dear er ties a strong; man's loving, tender care." i Postmaster General Burleson has de clared his position with respect to post office primaries. And Kansas is much interested in this subject because several primaries have already decided who will be candidates to be nominated for these offices. He has been pressed from various yuarters to indicate his position with re spect to such primaries. The issue is a burning one in various sections of the country, and especially in South Dakota, where the progressive Democrats are urging the spirit of the Richards pri mary law be observed. In a ietter to Congressman Dillon, Post master General Burleson, alluding to the South Dakota primary law respecting the nomination of federal officials, says he does not "recognize any obligation" on his part to observe the results of prefer ential primaries in the selection of per sons for appointment as postmasters, but that he will consider the results of such primaries as suggestions and take them into account, along with other sugges tions relative to the appointment of per sons to postoffices. The same question is up to President Wilson and much interest is felt on how he will decide it. e president has nominated two Kan sas postmasters, namely. William A.

The penalty for violation of this sec tion is a. fine not exceeding J"0 or a maximum imprisonment of one year or both. Officials of the treasury ore reticent regarding the situation. They appre ciate that if Dr. Friedmann has a cure for tuberculosis it is the greatest dis covery of the age and that the United States government will quickly recog nize such fact when assured of the ef ficacy of the cure. It is pointed out, however, that the German physi cian has not supplied the government with adequate means of passing judg ment quickly on his remedy, and in the meantime all the precautions im posed by the public health laws must be observed.

Frequently their temperature was forced up to 104 degrees and the pulse from 150 to 160 beats per minute. They appear to have suffered no in jury from this strain1 but no decided improvement can be noted. Miss Dorothy Herman, one of the patients treated, maintains that she feels decidedly better than when be fore she took the injection. She is a woman of naturally bright and hope ful disposition, but her "charts" fall to show the improvement she claims. Another case, that of a child suffer ing from morbus coxae, is said to have shown a slight result in that the limb can be moved a little more freely. With the exception of the two minor cases, however, the doctors who have followed the experiments claim that no results have been obtained upon which an indorsement of the remedy could possibly be based.

At the coroner's inquest yesterday it was testified that Nurnburg, a har- nessmaker. and Mrs. Dietz had en gaged in a liasion for some months. Dietz was aware of this as was the harnessmaker's wife who had had her husband watched by detectives who. among other things, had tapped tele phone wires and listened to alleged conversations between Nurnburg and Mrs. Dietz. Two months ago Mrs. Dietz consulted a lawyer about ob taining a divorce but was dissuaded. Nurnburg and Mrs. Dietz, according to testimony, had been together at Highland park on the day preceding the murder. The testimony showed further that on the night of the wiurder Mrs. Dietz did not occupy her bed as she is said to have told the police; that she was fully dressed when she gave the alarm to the police and wore her wig and corsets, which she had never been known to do before so early in the morning, and that when the officers arrived they found the milk bottle outside the door, although Mrs. Dietz s said to have told the police that she found the body of her husband after bringing in the milk. Detective Haas, who shadowed Nurn burg at the request of Mrs. Nurnburg and who testified at the inquest was ready to repeat his evidence at the hearing scheduled for this afternoon. According to his story one of the op eratives cut in on a telephone wire and heard a conversation between Mrs. Dietz and Nurnburg a few days before the murder. Mrs. Dietz asked Nurnburg "If he had that package?". Ye," he quoted Nurnburg as say ing. "Don t talk anymore. Everything is all right." It is the contention of the police that the package referred to was a hammer A stonemason's hammer swathed in a handkerchief was used to slay the tailor while he slept. I toward for Bloody Hammer. Coroner Hoffman today offered a re ward of $50 for information that would show where the hammer with which Dietz was killed was purchased. The official said the hammer apparently came from a second hand store and was somewhat rusty from disuse. The manufacturers of the Implement have been unable to trace it beyond their establishment. After the coroner's Jury had recom mended that Mrs. Dietz and Nurnburg be arrested, attorneys arranged with Coroner Hoffman that both Mrs. Dietz and Nurnburg be given liberty under police surveillance until this atfer noon and that they be "booked" on a charge of murder and released on bonds of (5,000 each.

The chinch bugs which have been so noticeable during the warm days which have just passed, are a source of great worry to the farmers and steps are being taken to kill the egg9 which will hatch about the middle of May if they are not destroyed. Passengers on the Union Pacific and Rock Island trains and autoists report that last night hundreds of fires could be seen in the Kaw valley. These fires were set out by the farmers and were for the purpose of burning the weeds and litter about the fence corners where the eggs are known to be. An extra ordinarily large crop of these little pests .were i.oticed during the harvest last fall, and unless the spring rains should come just at the time for the hatching of these eggs and drown the little bugs, the farmers may suffer from the work of the chinch bugs.
