JAPAN PROUDAND SENSITIVE Self Confidence Since Russian War Has Been Felt. Feeling Never More Bitter Against United States. Washington, April 2 2. President Wilson after a conference with the Democrat delegation from California In, convention today decided to tele graph Governor Johnson and legisla te leaders in California appealing to them not to enact any anti-alien land laws in contravention of treaty obligations of the United States with Japan. The telegram was as follows: -I speak on the assumption, which I am sure is well founded that the people of California do not desire their representatives and that their repre sentative do not wish or intend in any circumstances to embarrass the government of the United States in its dealings with a nation with whom it has earnestly and cordially sought to maintain relations of genuine friend ship and good will, and that least of all do they desire to do anything that might impair treaty obligations or cast a doubt upon the honor and good faith of the nation and its government. "I therefore appeal with the utmost confidence to the people, the gover nor and the legislators or uanrorma to act in the matter now under con oiriomtlon in a manner that cannot from any point of view be fairly chal lenged or called In ouestion. If they deem it necessary to ex clude all aliens who have not declar ed their intentions to become citUuns 'Tci the privileges of land owner ship they can do sj along lines already followed in the laws of many of the other states and of many foreign countries including Japan herself. Insidious discrimination will inevit ably draw in question the treaty ob ligations of the government of the United States. Registers His Protest. "I register my very earnest and very respectful protest against dis crimination in this case, not only be cause I deem it my duty to do so as the chief executive of the nation, but also and the more readily, because I believe the people and the legislative nuthorities of California will generous ly respond the moment the matter is frankly presented to them as a ques tion of national policy and of national honor. If they have ignored this point of view, it is, X am sure because the' did not realize what and how much was involved." The California Democrat congres sional delegation, consisting of Repre sentatives Knettner. Raker and Church, called on the president about appointments today, but Mr. Wilson deferred that subject and immediately took up the alien land situation. Mr. Raker told the president that if his course in appealing to tne legislature proved futile, the outcome might be to bring about a referendum on any law passed. The president is said to he confident that the people of Cali fornia. If they had an opportunity to vote on the measure, rvould not ap prove a law which the federal govern ment pointed out was in violation of the treaty obligations. Today's telegram to Governor John son, which was duplicated to the presi dent of the senate and the speaker of the house, was carefully considered by Secretary Bryan and members of the cabinet yesterday. The whole question was debated again today at the cabinet meeting. Interest and Concern Is Volt. The degree of interest and concern that is felt in official circles of Wash ington over the Japanese matter can not be overstated. It is a striking fact that the most peace-loving and peace-seeking ad ministration of the quarter century is confronted with the most serious men ace of International trouble that any president and cabinet have had with in that period. President Wilson is devouring eager ly everything he can read or hear con cerning the Japanese situation. There Is not a department of the government Just now that does not hold this to be the most imminent and most pressing question before the American government and the Ameri can people. President Wilson's message in which he urged in the interests of a peace able solution that California should eliminate the words "ineligible to citi zenship" from Its land law seems to have stirred this sensitive and irrita ble people. Judging from information coming from private and official sources Japan Is aroused toward this country as It has not been before and the United States, between the resolute states rights spirit of California and the aggressive sensitiveness of Japan is nearer to the long considered war with Japan than it has been at nv time since the civil war Back of the present japan contro versy remains the fact of internation al knowledge and acceptance that Japan is one of the proudest, the vain est and the most sensitive nations on earth; that it is Inspired to enormous self confidence by its successive Z splendid victories, first over thl Vast numerical superiority of China and later by its amazing victory oveY the IContioued on Page Two.) i. Limitation on Armaments In eluded in His Design. Bryan First Takes Proposals to Senate Committee. Washington, April 22. Secretary- Bryan's preliminary plans for a world wide peace movement probably will be laid informally before the senate for eign relations committee tomorrow. Mr. Bryan has been at work for some time on a crystallization of his ideas for international peace and it is un derstood he is now prepared to recom mend a series of world-wide treaties for the submission of all disputes to i arbitration and for a limitation on armaments. The unusual course of discussing his peace plans first with members of the senate committee has been chosen, it is understood to pave the way in the senate for any subsequent treaties that may be introduced, although members or the senate generally fa vored the arbitration treaties nego tiated with Great Britain and France during President Taffs administration. Those conventions were practically de feated because the senate would not accept the provisions for the submis sion of all disputes to arbitration. It is understood Mr. Bryan has in mind the arbitration of all disputes. The secretary's suggestion as to the limitation of armament, it is said, will include the proposal that when vital question have been submitted to a commission of inquiry, neither country party to the dispute shall in any way increase its armament or make further preparation for war until the commission has reported its finding. FOR ALFALFA PEST Parasites Are Found That Will Destroy the Weevil. Means Much to Crops of West ern Farmers. Washington, April 22.- Parasites which will destroy the weevil that preys on the alfalfa crops of the west have been discovered in Italy by W. R. Thompson, representative of the United States bureau of entomology in that country. He has notified Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau, that a shipment of these parasites is on its way from Europe. The alfalfa weevil has not spread to any such extei.t as the cotton boll weevil: but as many farmers through out the west include alfalfa as one of their principal crops the timely intro duction into their fields of an enemy to the pest will save many farmers irom loss. SAYS HE IS TAYLOR. Man Gives Himself Up to St. Louis Police us Missouri Murderer." St. Louis, April 22. A middle aged man entered a police station here to day and told the lientenant in charge that he was George Taylor, one of the brothers who murdered four members of the Meeks family near Linn, Osage county, Missouri, 21 years ago. Later the man said that he did not know who he was. William Taylor was a banker in Browning. Mo., his- brother George owned a farm near that town. The brothers had been arrested for steal ing cattle and Gus Meeks was the chief witness against them. Shortly before the time set for the trial the Taylors induced Meeks and his family to move to Oklahoma, promising them a large sum of money. The Meeks family, father, mother and three children started at night in a wagon. Going up a hill near George Taylor's farm the family was set upon by the Taylors who murdered all but little Nellie. She was left for dead. The bodies were put in a straw stack on Georr; Taylor's farm and the stack set afire. The fire restored Nellie to consciousness and she wandered to a farm house where she told the story. The Taylors fled on horseback. Posses searched for them for weeks. They were found in north Arkansas, returned to Missouri, tried at Carrollton and sentenced to die. George escaped. Wil liam was hanged. The police do not plate much cred ence in the man's claim of being Geo. Taylor. A TURKEY TRUCE. Greeks and Servians Consent to Rest for Ten Days. Constantinople, April 22. The Greeks and the Servians today concluded an agreement with Turkey similar to that made between Bulgaria and Turkey, by the terms of which hostilities are to be spended for ten days. The Grecian and Turkish govern ments ulso have agreed to begin the repatriation of Turkish prisoners of war. The first batch of 5.000 has been sent to the Turkish seaport of Mersina in Asia Minor. The conditions of agreement stipulate that the men must not take part in further military operations a. 3 that the Greek trans ports must not be molested by Turkish warships. Vessels have been placed at the dis posal of the Turkish government by Greece for the conveyance of 3,000 Musselmans who desire to emigrate from Saloniki to Scalanova, Asia Minor. Acting as Depositories of Dis counts in Regions. Elasticity Calculated to Prevent Any Inflation. Washington, April 22. Chairman Owen, of the senate banking and cur rency committee, called its members together today and advised them of results of informal conferences with President Wilson, Secretary McAdoo and Chairman Glass of the house bank ing committee on the subject of cur rency reforms. Hearings are to be ar ranged to be followed by joint session of the currency committee of both houses preparatory to currency legis lation at the extra session of congress, provided that the tariff is disposed of without delay. Senator Owen and Representative Glass have been looked upon as the men who will frame a measure to be known aa the Owen-Glass bill to be introduced at the same times and car rying with it administration approval. While there has been no final agree ment as yet as to the main features of currency reform, certain prevalent ideas, some of which eventually may be found in the bill, became known to day. These include: 1 Fifteen regional reserve banks which would act as fiscal agents for the government receiving deposits of public moneys, acting as banks or dis count for the banks of their respective regions, and receiving a part of the reserves of the banks of the country. Currency would be issued through the regional reserve banks. Practically all the canital stock of these institutions as well as any accruing profits would be the property of the banks of each region. 2 A governing board to supervise the regional reserve banks would be established to consist of the secretary of treasury, agriculture and the comp troller of the currency as ex-orncio members; four directors chosen by the banks of the country and two directors appointed by the president of the United States. 3 The elasticity of the currency would be provided for by conditions calculated to prevent inflation. Any notes issued would be redeemable in gold by providing a reserve for actual gold redemption. There has been some question as to whether these notes should be United States notes, advanced to the banks upon an inter est charge high enough to prevent in flation, or be bank notes under like conditions. State banks would be re quired to increase their reserves. 4 The extent to which the reserves could be used has not been determined but one plan Is in favor of permitting their use under a reasonable tax. With respect to the rate of discount, it has been variously suggested that the gov erning board might require the rate to be made progressive when there was an increasing demand for currency so as to stiffen the open market rate and attract gold somewhat after the sys tem used by the Bank of England. 5 One of the plans suggested and which Representative Glass advocated in a recent speech was to retire the present bond secured currency, not at once, but over a period of ten to fif teen years which might involve a re funding of the 2 per cent, bonds with the circulation privilege into 3 per cent, bonds without the circulating privi leges. A3 the bond secured currency would be retired, a substitute currency based on commercial ppaper of a quali fied class ..utomatically would take its place. The plan that will be finally evolved, the Democrat leaders assert, will be sub stantially different from the so-called Aid rich plan. There is talk of establishing branch banks abroad to obtain for- American bankers a share of the foreign trade and commercial transactions. With respect to the subject of guaranteeing bank deposits, however, the currency advocates are prac tically unanimous that this should be kept separate from any currency bill. STRAPHANGERS' BUMP St. Louis Man Has Developed Bruise I Vora Street Car Riding. St. Louis, Mo., April 22. Did you ever see a straphangers bump? W. M. Price, 6507 "Vernon avenue, has one from riding on St. Louis street cars for thirteen years. He is the manager of a tailoring firm. It is on the second finger of the right hand. In all his years straphanging this finger. Price says, is the one that has stood the brunt of the accompanying pressure and strain. Hence the bump. It is a proturberanee more than an inch in diameter at the base and three-eighths of an inch high. It began to develop about four years ago and caused the finger to become stiff. Price has consulted physicians here and in New York and they did not question his own diagnosis that the bump was di rectlv due to straphanging. They advise him that he must have the bump cut out. "The doctors told me it was the result of an unusual strain." said Price. "The only unusual strain to which my finger has been subjected has been that of hang ing on street car straps twice a day. "I am going to have the operation per formed and send the bill to the street car company and see what happens." ON ROAD TO RECOVERY Pope Plus Has Little Cough and No Fever Today. Rome, April 22. The pope was much less troubled by his cough today and he was also without fever. As this was the sixth successive day on which his temperature has not risen above normal the physicians decided that j they shortly would be able to limit j I their visits to one daily. TO PROBE TY COBB'S CONTRACT Hold Out of Well Known Play er to Be Examined. Claimed System Is in Violation of Sherman Law. Washington April 22. Characteriz ing organized baseball as "the most audacious and autocratic trust in the country." Representative Gallagher of Illinois toJay introduced a resolution for an exhaustive inquiry into the op eration of the national baseball com mission. The resolution would direct the at torney general to investigate the base ball contract system with a view to in stituting prosecutions for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The res olution would direct the speaker to appoint a special committee of seven to investigate "The operation and prac tices or the baseball trust to ascertain whether unjust discriminations had been practiced in favor of or against players, whether players are now or have been prejudiced, coerced or re strained from the exercise of just rights to enter into contracts of a fair and equitable nature; whether such a combination has been effected among baseball magnates throughout the country as would preclude competi tion and operate iri restraint of trade." Look Into Prices Oiarged. This is sought, the reason sets forth, because "The most audacious and au tocratic trust in the country is the one which presumes to control the game of baseball; its officials announcing daily through the press of the country, the dictates of a governing commis sion; how competition is stifled; how territory and games are apportioned; how the prices are fixed which mil lions must pay to witness the sport; how men are enslaved and forced to accept salaries and terms, or forever be barred from playing, and of other acts incident to trafficking in a na tional pastime for pecuniary gain." Mr. Gallagher expressed a willing ness to co-operate with any other member of congress interested in any specific case, and planned to confer with Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, who, on request, was forwarded a copy of "Ty" Cobb's contract with the De troit club. Senator Smith wants ,to examine Cobb's contract. v Representative Gallagher has" been in correspondence regarding his reso lution with Horace Fogel, former owner of the Philadelphia National team. Fogel in a recent letter offered to put Gallagher on the track to "lay the foundation for the investigation and to subpoena witnesses to make out a clear case to turn over to the department of justice for immediate action to bust up this flagrant base ball trust." WAR ANDFA1INE Death Follows March of Armies Through Albania. Generals and 16,000 Turkish Soldiers Are Refugees. Vienna, April 22. Some 16,000 Turk ish soldiers with whom are Djavid Pasha and all his generals, the rem nants of the Vardar army and refugees from the fortress of Janina, have ar rived at Fiera on the Adriatic sea. The fugitives are said to be in a pitiable state. The troops are mostly suffering from starvation. They are completely demoralized. The whole of southern Albania has been cleared of means of subsistence by the various armies which have marched through the territory and famine reigns among the remain ing inhabitants everywhere. SUFFS BURN BOATS. Arson Squad Adopts New Territory in Troubled England. London, April 22. An arson squad of mili tant suffragettes early today burned down the Handsworth Park boat house in a Birmingham suburb. Four large boats and a large quantity of equipment were destroyed. With the opening of the boating season attempts to destroy skiffs and shells are expected, and along most of the rivei-s and lakes a closP watch is kept by special patrols night and day. "You had better stick to the needle and drop the revolver," was the court's ad vice to Annie Bell, .the suffragette sen tinel arrested outside Holloway jail on the nigh of April 9 during the imprisonment of Mrs. Pankhurst. Miss Bell was armed with a revolver when arrested and was sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment. She refused to bind herself to keep the peace for a year and told the magistrate, "Your advice is not of any use at all." PASS SUNDRY CIVIL BILL Attempt to Strike Out Taft Veto Clause Was Defeated. Washington, April 22. By an over whelming vote, the house today passed the sundry civil appropriation bill with a provision that funds ap propriated to carry out the anti-trust law be not used for the prosecution of labor unions and farmers' co operative organizations. An attempt to strike out the two provisions which caused former President Taft to veto th emeasure in the last days of the Sixty-second congress was de feated, 4 7 to 198. The Indian appropriation bill. which failed at the last congress, also was passed FIRST VICTORY IN HISTORY Only Time Political Walkout Favored Strikers. For 10 Days Country's Com merce Wras at Standstill. Brussels, April 22. The political strike in Belgium after keeping at a standstill the country's industry and commerce for ten days was today brought to a conclusion favorable to the workmen nearly half a million of whom to enforce a demand of equal suffrage had laid down their tools. The socialist trades union leaders and their followers gained their chief point which was to make the govern ment taxe up lor consideration a change of the Belgium parliamentary franchise with its system of plural votes lor tne wealthier and more edu caied classes. At tne last returns, 993,070 men possessed one vote, 395,866 two votes and 308,683 three votes, so that the single votes were always overwhelm ed. This is the first occasion on rec ord in which a political strike has re sulted in victory for the strikers. The whole movement has been notable for the energy and determination display ed and for the excellent control shown by the men. They have not yet obtained their full demand, but the socialist leaders express confidence that the consider ation of their claims will result in the franchise being made equal for all. When the chamber of deputies met this afternoon there was an intense feeling of expectancy. Th j motion of F. Masson, the Liberal leader, was taken up Immediately. Deputy Lie baert, a clerical proposed an addition al clause reading: "The chamber disapproves and condemns the general strike." Premier deBrouqueville accepted the motion as amended and asked the other members of his party not to suggest any more changes. The Socialist Leader Emile Vande velde then spoke, saying: "We the deputies of the left, support M. Mas son's motion for a compromise. It remains for us to convoke a Socialist congress which alone has the power to decide whether the strike shall end or not,- but we have the conviction that the adoption of the motion will be a step in advance." The first part of the motion was then adopted unanimously by the chamber of deputies. King Albert conferred for a long time with Premier Charles De Broqueville today and it was agreed to settle the strike by making conces sions to the workers, who complain of the system by which persons enjoying higher incomes or having a superior education are given supplementary votes. The workers assert that these extra votes have swamped them at the parliamentary ballots and have per mitted the clerical party to remain in power without Interruption for more than ?0 years. Figures issued by the government show that the number of strikers is about 375.000. Leaders of the socialist trade unions which or ganized the strike declare that 500, 0f0 is nearer the correct figure. In Brussels the number of strikers wns increased by 2,000 today. Amoner the strike contributions today were sub scriptions irom the young Turks of Constantinople and from the Austrian Socialists The Socialists voted against the second part of the motion but it was carried by the Conservatives and Lib erals, the vote standing 124 to 39. The Socialists abstained from voting when the two parts of the motion were tak en together. In that way it was car ried by a vote of 138 to 2. Valsaint Lamberth, Belgium, April 22. The strike was brought to an end this morning by the return of all workers to the glass factories, which are the most important in Bel gium.

The new Hambursr American line steamship Imperator, feet long, ran aground in the Elbe this morning. She was proceeding from the Vulcan shipbuilding yards for the lower Elbe to make ready for her official trial trips when she grounded off Altona. Un der favorable conditions it is hoped she can be floated today. The Imperator, when she goes into commission with the start of her maiden voyage to New York on May 28 will, for a time, be the largest vessel sailing. Her keel was laid two years ago, 900 feet In length or almost double that of Germany's largest warship. The trial trips of the Imperator have been planned for the latter part of this month and reports have been printed that Emperor William will be among the party of distinguished Germans who would ac company the trial board on the first trips. Tells French That He Was Out of Gasoline. Jiew Secret of Army Aviation May Be Detected. Nancy, France, April 22. Another international military incident occur red on the France-German frontier this morning when a German army aeroplane alighted on French territory at Nord Arracourt. Two German of ficers in uniform were on- board. These were Captain Devall, chief in spector of aviation, and Lieutenant von Mirbach. The local military police and French custom officers hastened to the spot and Captain Devall explained that his gasoline had become exhausted. He thought at the time of landing that he was on the German side of the fron tier. The French administrative officials are conducting an investigation and meanwhile the German aeroplane is kept under detention. The French ministers of war and interior after they had heard the re port of the civil and military authori ties decided that the landing was un avoidable. The two were released and returned to Germany this afternoon. Instructions from the French foreign office had in the interval been sent to Jules Cambon, French ambassador at Berlin, who was told to call the atten tion of German government officials to the repeated landings of German mil itary air craft in France and to the serious inconveniences brought about by such occurrences. STRIKE IN SCHOOL Hundreds of Children Protest Superintendent's Return. During March Through Pitts burg One Was Killed. Pittsburg, April 22. The first fatality attending the school children's strikes' organization as -protests against Su perintendent S. L. Heeter, occurred today. A girl marching with a hun dred or more of companions in Penn sylvania avenue was run down by a street car and killed. The strikes, which began yesterday and spread today to a number of ad ditional schools started when Mr. Heeter returned to work after being acquitted of serious charges preferred against him by a domestic in his fam ily. Reports received from four schools show scarcely 25 per cent of the pu pils were on hand. A number of schools the strikers said to have been encour aged by their parents endeavored to prevent "nonstriker pupils from en- tring the buildings." A feature today was the marching of several hundred children through the" downtown streets. None of the marchers appeared to be more than a dozen years old. They carried ban ners demanding the removal of the superintendent. In all sections of the city as the day advanced there were repeated calls for additional police and all reserves were called out. Be cause of the character of the rioters the police were almost at a loss to handle the situation, but in several in stances they succeeded in dispersing gatherings by talking with the older children who were leaders. Superintendent McQuaid, of the po lice, said that older heads inspired the movement, pointing to the display of the American flag at the head of the processions. Herding the children into line were young men whose faces are familiar about newspaper circulation departments. President D. B. Oliver, of the board of education, said: "This is an organ ized and financed movement to down the school board and drive Heeter out." Upon his acquittal accusations were made that he was guilty of misconduct with two other girls. These have not been acted upon yet. Mother Whipped Her Boy. A crowd of the strikers marched across a bridge over the Allegheny and attempted a demonstration before the Fulton building in which is located the offices of the board of education. In the wake of the procession hurried one irate mother. Several mounted and foot patrolmen were trying to dis perse the shouting children. Elbowing her way ito the center of the crowd, the mother grabbed a youth off his feet, swung him across her lap, and whaled him while his companions shouted in derision. Up to early this afternoon more than fifty schools were reported as affected by the movement. In some instances only a handful of pupils were in at tendance. They were permitted to play games, no lessons being given out. ROBBERS USEAXE. Two Railroad Men Murdered Near Youngstown, Ohio. Youngstown, O., April 22. Two men employed on the Baltimore Ohio railway construction at Lowell ville, seven miles from here, were murdered early today. Fellow em ployees found the victims in a box car, one, Frank Starcl, dead, and the other, so far unidentified, dying. An axe had been used on both men. their heads being frightfully mangled. Robbery is supposed to have been the motive. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Cloudy with probably showers tonight or Wednesday; cooler Wednesday. CONGRESS MAY ADOPT BUDGET Revenue From Incomes Would Be Raised and Lowered. To Prevent Deficit or Surplus in Treasury. CUT HIGH JOT OF LIYING JTew Tariff Bill Will Benefit the Consumer. Complete Revision Explained in General by Committee. Washington. April 22. Presenting the completed Democratic tariff revision bill to the house today, the Democrats of the ways and means committee rec ommended a radical readjustment of the entire fiscal policy of the nation. They proposed to make an Income tax the means of accurately adjusting the funds to be raised by taxation to cor respond with necessities for govern ment expenditure. The report, sub mitted by Chairman Underwood, after outlining the operations of the pro posed income tax. Bald: 'The revenues from all income taxes readily respond to changes of rates and the latter can be raised or lower ed within a few days' time without business disturbances b. ?h as general tariff changes occasion. It is believed that a budget or other effective sys tem by which congress may be able closely to calculate and determine in advance forthcoming expenditures will soon be devised, in which event it should become easy to maintain a close balance between expenditures and rev enues such as is practiced in most other civilized countries. 'With other sources of revenue re vised to honest and fixed basis, and the income tax a permanent part of our revenue system and at all times afford ing a substantial amount of revenue congress could, and if necessary should annually raise or lower the income tax rates in such manner as would pre-, vent either a deficit or a surplus in the treasury. This combined tax sys tem would afford justice in taxation, flexibility and stability of revenue, and rigid economy in expenditures." Policy of Democrats. The Democrats, outlining their policy in the preparation of the bill announc ed an absolute disregard for the cost of production theory as regulatory of tariff rates, and declared that in ths pending bill they had attempted: "To eliminate protection of profit and to cut off duties which enabled in dustrial managers to exact a bonus for which no equivalent is rendered. "To introduce in every line of In dustry a competitive tariff basis pro viding for a substantial amount of im portation to the end that no concern shall be able to feel that it has a monopoly of the home market gained other than through the fact that it is able to furnish better goods at lower, prices than others." "Which is the wiser course for our government to take.'" the report asked, "the one that demands the protection of profits, the continued policy of hot house growth of our industries the stagnation of development that follows where competition ceases, or on the other hand the reduction of our tariff laws to a basis where the American manufacturer must meet honest com- -petition, where he must develop his business along the best and most eco- nomical lines; where, when he fights 1 at home to control his market he is forging the way in the development of his business to extend his trade in the markets of the world. In our Judg ment the future growth of our great industries lies beyond the seas." Revenue Decreases. A detailed table was presented show ing, by schedules, the total revenue -secured under the Payne law for 1912, and the estimated revenue under the new law for a twelve month period. The table showed that in 1912 $759,209. 915 worth of imports paid $304,590,035 in duties at an equivalent average ad valorem rate of 40.12 per cent. It is es timated that under the new bill $1,000. 9S9.000 worth of Imports would pay $266,701,000 in duties at an average ad valorem rate of 29.60 per cent. Thus the new bill would raise $37,896,000 less than the present law. Continued on Page Two.) TODAY'S GAMES. Western. Denver at Wichita, clear. Lincoln at Topeka, cloudy. Des Moines at Omaha, fair.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOtJBNAIr- TUESDAY EVENING- APRIL 22, 1913. STOP GAS WASTE Secretary Lane Sends Word to Oklahoma Field' Owners. Will Cancel Leases if Oper ators Do IVot Obey. LOSS DAILY IS ENORMOUS In One Field Alone It Amounts to $20,000, He Says. Regulations May Be Changed to Handle Situation. Washington, April 22. Eteps have been taken by Secretary Lane of the interior department to stop the waste of natural gas on Indian leased lands In Oklahoma. He has telegraphed the superintendent of the Union agency at Muskogee to advise all operators that continued waste will not be permitted and if not stopped at once steps will be taken for. cancellation of leases or for "such other remedy as may be deemed proper." This action "was a result of a report from the burean of mines, stating that In the Cushing field, a very conserva- tlve estimate of gas wasted would place the amount far in excess of 100 million feet daily. This would amount to a money loss of more than $20,000 a day in the Cush- mg field alone. The report cited case where a well has been" "blowing off" for six days without an effort be ing made to prevent the waste.' "The penalty provided by law for such inexcusable waste," said Secretary Lane "is totally inadequate, amounting to a fine of only $10 for each day after the lapse of five days, or a possible cancellation of the operators lease. In the immediate future I will change the regulations so as to provide a penalty to fit the crime. T WILL BE STATE WIDE. The JTew Swedish Organization Political Purposes. for Plans for a state wide Swedish or ganization to protect the political in terests of 20,000 Swedish male vot ers in Kansas, have been launched and will receive official baptism some time this spring when a state conven tion is called for a conference of Swedish-American voters. At present the new organization will not align itself with any political party or polit ical faction, i Officers of the new organization are B. H. Helm. Topeka, president; Dr. E. P. Pihlblad.

ACQUITTED Jury Held Them Not Guilty in Ross 1 ville Fire Case. Levi and George Gibbs, accused of setting fire to the city hall at Ross ville. Kan., early in the morning of December 19, last, are not guilty ac cording to the verdict of the jury that heard the evidence against them. A verdict of acquittal was brought in about an hour after the jury retired. Tinkham Veale, attorney for the defense, charged in his address to the Jury, that the arrest of the Gibbs brothers was a "frame-up" of W. M. Cooper, who styles himself an "oper ative," employed to -ferret "out the mystery surrounding the fire. The brothers were arrested on a complaint fworn to by Cooper; but' practically the only evidence against them was the testimony of Mrs. Levi Gibbs, wife of one of the defendants, who declar ed she had heard the brothers utter veiled threats against a Rossville mer cantile firm, whose building- was among those destroyed. The fire cost Rossville between $30, ahd S40.000. It. was undoubtedly of Incendiary origin, it is asserted. There Is no clue, however, to the perpetra tors since the Gibbs brothers have been acquitted. WOLGAST TO KEEP OX. Will Fight Short Battles But Not as Often. San Francisco, April 22.

INCOME TAX TO MEET EXPENSES (Continued from Page One.) "The saving thus made in revenue collections," said the report, "is only suggestive of the immensely greater saving Becured to the public by the probable change in prices resulting from the removal of the excessive rates in the present law. xne increased cost of living was mentioned as the most striking eco nomic change needing adjustment tnrougn tne tariff and a table was submitted showing the percentage of increase in wholesale prices of many articles in the period from 1897 to 1910, The table gave the percentage of in crease: Since 1897 to 1910, in farm products, as 93.2 per cent; food, 46. per cent.; clothing. 35.8; metals and implements, 48.2; drugs and chemicals, 23.9; house furnishing goods, 24.2; mis cellaneous, 44.5; an average increase in such commodities of 46.7 per cent. In a series of tables the report said that the articles dutiable under the Payne law, and placed on the free list by the Underwood till in the last year yielded a revenue $24,698:226 on im ports of $102,402,579. The committee took from the present free list and levied duties against articles which es timated yields. $4,64 1, 055 revenue on $42,595,510 during a twelve month period under the Underwood bill. Duty of Income Tax. A computation by treasury experts presented in the report shows that the government rvtnu. from all sources in 1912, was $938,522,482, and the govern ment expenditures $901,297,979, leaving a surplus of $38,224,502. The estimated revenue from all sources for the first year under the Underwood biU is $926, 000,000, and the estimated expenditures $994,790,000. With a treasury surplus of $1,335,000 this would leave a deficit to be raised by the income tax amounting to 158,790,000. The earning power of the income tax the first year of its operation is fixed by the report at $70,125,000. In close conjunction with the mgh cost of ivme. the reDort suggested tne de velopment of trusts and industrial combi nntkina (itirinc thft same Teriod. and gave a list of 226 such combinations organized since 1S97, controlling tnousanas or pmnis and with aggregate capital of many bil lions.

In this connection the report said: Will Not Protect Inefficiency. To orotect profits, of necessity means tn rvrntpet ineff iciencv. It does not stimu late industry because a manufacturer Btonrtinp- liehlnrt a. tariff wall that is pro tecting his profits, is not driven to develop his business along the lines of greatest efficiency and greatest economy. This is clearly illustrated in a comparison of the wool and iron and steel industries. Wool nnjs hart n Bnecific dntv that when worked out to an ad valorem basis amounted to a tax ot nearly sk per cent oi i"s value of all woolen goods imported into the United States and the duties imposed have remained practically unchanged for forty years. During that time the wool industry has made comparatively little progress in cheapening the cost of it3 products and improving its business methods. "On thm nther hand, in the iron and steel industries, the tariff rate has been cut every time a tariff bill has been written. Yet "the iron and steel industry has not languished." The report says that the income tax is included "in response to the general de mand for justice in taxation and the long standing need of the elastic and produc tive system of revenue." "In connection with our legislation work of readjusting the old and adopting a new fiscal policy," the report continues, "congress should eliminate the inequality and abuses of the existing system of tariff taxation, reduce the customs rates to" a sound revenue basis and levy an income tax to equalize the tariff burdens and to give elasticity and productiveness to our revenue system." Slap at Present System. The report characterizes this present tariff system as "fluctuating, inflexible, unstable and oftimes unproductive thus exposing the government to deficiencies or excess with ail tnerr auenuam em barrassment." The reDort declared the maximum and minimum clause of the Payne law giving the president the power to Impose addi tional duties on the goods of countries de clining to include the United States as "a most favored nation" In commercial ad justment has been a failure. The new bill strikes that provision from the law and gives the president the power to negotiate trade agreements containing "Mutual concessions with foreign countries to De approved by congress.'

HIS HUMOR FAILED Brokenhearted After Show, Comedian Took Own -Life. Tried to Make Audience Laugh After Hearing Bernhardt, Chicago, April 22. Cliff Gordon, the comedian known as "The German Sen ator," who was found dead in his ho tel room last night, said a few hours before his body was found that any one who attempted to make an audi ence laugh after Sarah Bernhardt, the noted actreess, had made it weep, would die. Gordon attempted it during an afternoon performance ctiA failed. It seemed to affect him for he remarked to the manager of the theater that it was the first time in years that he had failed to produce a laugh among his audience. "The people sat in their seats stolid and mirthless," he said. "I could not get 'em and had to quit. Any comedian who tries to follow Bernhardt will die." The manager tried to cheer him up; told him to have a rest and try again at the night performance. Gordon left the theater, still down cast at the apparent failure of his jokes and went to his room. He was not missed until time, for his night performance. The audience was waiting for him and a hurried call was sent to his hotel.

The actor had taken a cold cure and, according to a physician who Judged from the amount left in the vial, had swallowed about 60 grains. This it was said, with a hot bath would have pro duced death. Heart disease is sup posed to have been the immediate cause of his death. WILSON TAKES HAND IN FIGHT (Continued from Page One.) gigantic power of the Russian empire. It is remembered that Japan carries in bitter rememDrance tne controver sies two years ago over the question of admitting Japanese children to the public schools of San Francisco; that it remembers with sensitive bitterness the nature and conclusion of the late dis cussion over its occupancy of a harbor on Magdalena Bay and now the latest and most aggravating of all affronts is that which discriminates against the quality of its astute and victorious peo pie as "ineligible to citizenship" in the great American commonwealth of Cal ifornia. There is nobody here in Washington in official life of the government or in the active life of the army and navy who pretends to deprecate the degree and intensity of Japan's resentment toward what it deems this three-fold reflection upon its people and the gen eral impression prevails that the whole Japanese nation believes that the time has come when it is absolutely neces sary that the dignity, the importance and the quality of its citizenship should be asserted and established among the nations of the world. Experts of the navy and of the army are united in tne opinion tnai tne aggressive tone of Japan in this inci dent is stimulated and inspired by Japan's conception of the unprepared ness of the United states navy ana army for war with any nation.

Harvard Otologist Predicts Silence in Modern Machinery. Cambridge, Mass., April 22. Har vard's well known otologist, Dr. Clar ence J. Blake, today placed himself on record as predicting a noiseless world in the near future. The welfare work now being car ried on, both indoors and outdoors," he said, "will in time be the greatest factor in bringing about a noiseless world. This age will not be a sound less one, but will be practically a noiseless one. Noise, at least, loud and unpleasant noise, is needless and the campaign now being conducted in factories, mills, mines ana in our out door traffic to reduce this pandemon ium will soon show the best results." Dealing in old rags and blowing wind instruments, according to Dr. Blake, are potential causes of deaf ness" Defaulting Cashier to Prison. San Francisco, April 22. Charles F.

Then Beware of Wine, Women and Song, Says Englishman. New Haven, Conn., April 22. Sor William Osier in addressing the reli gious meeting at Yale outlined new rules for practical daily life. He said: "My method is the freshest, oldest. simplest and usefulest handle in which to fit your tool of life. Forget the past; forget the future.

My friends have found that out: but taKe no tnougnt tor tne future, touch a button that will shut off the past, and another that will shut off the fu ture and you will have a vaccine that will insure you against all morbid thought.

New York Stock Market. Wall St., New York, April 22 STOCKS Some Increase in outside business resulted from the recuperative powers displayed by yesterday s market. Room traders op erated more confidently on the long side, paying particular attention to stocks in which the short interest appeared to be vulnerable. Buying of the standard stocks influenced speculative ventures and encouraged pool activity in shares for which a wider dis tribution is sought. Business diminished after the level of prices had been raised half a point to a point and there was some realizing by traders who argued the upturn had been completed for the time Deing. Bonds were steady. There was good demand for stocks at the opening today and trading was broad ana active, practically every stock in which there were transactions scored an advance, although changes in most in stances were comparatively small. The largest gain was made by Beet Sugar which rose Sharp advances were achieved with the exchange of little stock, the available sup ply being apparently limited at current levels. More Interest was manifested in some ordinarily neglected stocks, especial ly Wisconsin, Uentral and w heeling and Lake Erie, which improved several points. A drop in New Haven to 112, a new low record, aroused comment. When speculation flattened out the opin ion was expressed that a weak short in terest having been forced to cover by the rise of from 2 to 3 points from yesterday's lowest technical conditions did not favor a further advance. This assumption in duced light selling and prices relapsed to. below where they left oft yesterday. persistent liquidation of small lot of New Haven had a disconserting enect on sentiment and nullified the earlier fluence of favorable factors.

Quarantine receipts today 26 cars, largely steers at J7.25 to $8.15, some bulls 16.16. others While the general market horizon does not look beefy, there are about 100,000 big cattle at distilleries In Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky ready for the shambles, and which will probably run in the next 30 or 60 days. These, how ever, will be marketed at Chicago and farther east, and will thus have a mini mum effect on Kansas City prices.- Alter tne Daa Dreau oi last, wee nogs made some gains, but the situation is still weak. Receipts today are above expecta tions at Chicago, and fairly liberal here for Monday, and prices are steady to 6c lower. Top today Is $8.95. bulk of sales $8.70 to $8.S0. Eastern demand for light hogs is not quite as strong as hereto fore, and all weights are selling closer to gether. Regardless of present conditions, market seers predict higher prices in June than tne present range. Sheep and lambs declined 25 to 60 cents last week, without any visible reason, and pessimism ruled at the end of the week. The customary surprise came today with moderate run, 10,000 neaa, and prices strong to 10c higher, lambs at SS.50 to $8.60, yearlings worth $7.50, wethers $6.75, ewes $6.40.

The locals out hit the visitors and bunched their hits v ell in the early part of the game but couldn't do i' in the latter part. Ihe tory is distressing. MeCollough started the game for the Kaws and had the Antelopes at his mercy until the sixth inning when .w began to weaken. They got one run in this inning and then tied it up in the seventh. He retired after one run had toeen scored. Fullerton took the tiller but couldn't keep the ship afloat. The visitors landed on him for six hits and five runs in the three innings he offi ciated as helmsman. Dessau pitched the game for the visitors. The Kaws started after him from the very beginning and got more than one hit in every inning excepting two. Thev got but one hit in the ixth and none in the ninth. He looked to be due for an awful drubbing but the score will show who got it. The locals batted hard and fielded well. Joe French was the one to get it good end hard. At least a half dozen balls were driven through the short field which went for hits just for the rea son that thev took bad bounds or oth er good reasons for not being fielded. The youngster cannot be criticised. The visitors got their first hit in the second inning. Willis Ci le hit for two bases ?nd one man out. He died on third base. Carney led off in the third r.d was hit by a pitched ball. Dessau struck out, Lloyd was hit by a pitched ball and Mullen singled, scoring Car ney.

The play came in the third inninK with Rapps leading off. He stepped up to the plate and hit a ball that was delivered by the pitcher in a warming up process. The ball went to the outfield and Rapta took three bases. The decision of Umpire Sigler was made under the instructions of Presi dent Tip O'Neill, when the latter was here Sunday. President O'Neill's in structions are to prevent the pitchers from throwing the customary three balls at the beginning of each inning. Umpire Sigler instructed Managers Gear and Mullen about this rule be fore the game started, and if the play ers did not know it, the managers are to blame. President O'Neill forgot to include this rule in the instructions to the um pire in St. Joseph last Thursday. He told the umpire at Wichita about it Friday and it was observed in Wichita during the Lincoln series. The rule was made for the benefit of the public. No pitcher will be allowed to warm up at the beginning of each Inning and if he does, the umpire will call a decision on every ball thrown. It will not make any difference about j where the pitcher throws the ball if' An Honest Druggist Often!

If the ball is delivered to the catcher and is over the plate it will be called a strike, otherwise it will be called a ball. If the ball is delivered to any other position one ball will be called every time it is thrown. This new rule should meet with the approval of the fans of the Western League. The fans of the circuit have been yelling for shorter games for sev eral years. The pitchers will not- be placed with this new rule. They will be de- niM tha nnnnrtnnitv r .v, 1.1 1 r ii i iiic beginning of each inning, and as a re sult it will probably be easier for the first batter to get on bases The majority of new rules In base ball during recent years have tended to work a hardship on the pitcher. This is no exception. Gear will probably release an in fielder before the team leaves Thurs day for Denver. He has six and is one man over the player limit. He has not mentioned the name of the player but it is not necessary to carry two utility infielders and it will be one of the lot. He is trying to sell one of the bunch and may succeed.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report or tnat great news -ranlzatfrm for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. Th. nova raralvM in The State Jour- Hal building over wires for this sole pur- rose. Michigan refused votes to her wo men, but gave them a mothers' pension law. Dr. Kriedmann is in Washington. Perhaps he wants to try his serum on the tariff bill. Mr. Aloe ha been forced to resign from the St. Louis board of freehold ers. He was too bitter a dose. Japan is trying to borrow J50.000.000. If she intends fighting Uncle Sam Bhe Kvill need more money than-that. Montenegro Is not very big but ap parently it is as capable of causing trouble as a bee on the inside of a Bhirt. "What shall be done with our ex presidents?" The best thing that can be done with them is to keep them apart. 1 Before the end of the season, pos sibly, somebody will gain well-earned fame by finding something new to call the umpire. The price of mules hen advanced while elephants are quoted lower. Is this, a result of the Democrat victory at the polls? Following" a precedent of always blaming the absent, they are crediting the floods and tornadoes to the in fluence of Jupiter There will be a lot of trouble over the fixing of the wool schedule, not the least of which will be the wild and woolly oratory. Our idea of a bold man is one who doesn't hesitate to turn, the pages of his newspaper while the man sitting next him is reading it. In spite of his good nature, it is proDable that Mr. Taft will dodge the responsibility of acting as judge at the Tale debating contests. France might get even for that in sasion by the Zeppelin dirigible by throwing a few tin cans and old shoes over the German border. Spokane wants a slogan. Topeka has one put little tne worse for usage, which she might part with if proper inducements were offered. Apparently the greatest surprise ever sprung upon any congress was. Presi dent Wilson's announcement to the present one that he was a human being. "Russian barbers average $4,000 a year in their business." Judging by the pictures of the merry populace In Russian scenes, there must be' about two of them. It's too bad that moBt women lack a keen sense of humor, else they could have a ripping good time over those new men's hats the green ones with the dinky bows at the back. In spite of the conclusions that might be drawn from American store windows it is not at all likely that the Turkish indemnity will be accepted by the Bal kan allies in the form of second-hand rugs. The American multi-millionaire and his wife who dropped off at London on their way to the continent to see their baby, probably took the precau tion to send a physician ahead to safe guard him against heart disease. A London electrical genius has in vented a safe which can be opened only by producing certain musical tones. It isn't needed in this country. The American ublic gives up to the opera singers without any pretense of hiding the money. The Pacific Gas and Electric com pany has signed a contract to supply exclusively for the next three and one half years all electric current requir ed for power and lighting purposes .by tke San Francisco World's fair, and tflnring the period of construction and dismantling. Estimates indicate that the exposition will require 20.000 horse power, and the gross bills for current will amount to $500,000. Kansas City is growing so rapidly that it is found necessary 'or the municipality to go deeper and deeper in debt to keep up with the demands of increased population and territory. Taxes must necessarily increase and Leavenworth is hoping to profit there- by in securing factories which will de sire to locate where expenses are lighter and land cheaper. She is leaning on a. broken reed. Business goes where the trade is regardless of what it costs. Of what benefit are cheap land, low rent or light taxes, if there be no market. Only the rail roads do pioneering in the commercial world. Manufacturers and merchants seek a field where business is estab lished. READY MADE FARMS. The rapid settlement of Canada is one of the wonders of the age. Why American farmers should move across the border has been something of a mystery, but it leems there is a reason. The "ready made farm" on the prairie is the Canadian Pacific's meth od of drawing men to the land, says a writer in the World's Work. The rail road is disposing of its land grant acres by building houses and barns upon them, breaking the soil, and stocking the farms and then offering them, with the pioneering work all done, to settlers. The cost of the raw land is from $11 to $30 an acre for nonirrigable land, and from $35 to $70 for land that can be watered. Added to this the settler pays for the mprovements that have been made. There are several plans, or policies, offered to intending settlers. The ready made farms are intended for men who know something of farm ing. For them, the company improves the land so that a new arrival can take up his residence in a house already built, his barn up, his ground fenced, a well on his property, and his land plowed and seeded. They are sold at the value of the raw land plus the cost of the improvements; the whole amount being payable in ten years at 6 per cent interest. THE TYPEWRITER TARIFF. One by one, beneficiaries of the pro tective duties are coming to the front, and making a fight for a continuation of their special privileges. Among these are the typewriter manufacturers. The Underwood bill puts typewriters on the free list. They now pay an im port duty of 30 per cent. This the American makers declare is not un reasonable. The Financial World dis cussing the proposed action of the tariff reformers says: These machines are of American origin, and have been Drougnt to a higher degree of perrection in in country than anywhere else. The few machines that are manuiacturea unaer European patents do not amount to much in comparison with American makes, and they are not being im ported to any extent worth speaking nhout With tne au per cent auiy ta ken off, however, this market would be flooded with cheap machines from Germany and England, and a deadly blow would be dealt to an industry which has been built up to tremend ous proportions in little more than 40 years. It may be that the manufacturers are needlessly, alarm. -Consular re ports show that the American made machine is sold in competition with the cheaper products of Europe in all parts of the world. The intelligent purchaser usually considers quality be fore price. If the Europeans should make as good a machine as ours and put it on the American market at a less price, the home manufacturers might have reason to complain, but not the pub lic. The typewriter has come into so general use that it may be classed among the necessities. The users of the machines have felt for a long time that they were paying more than they should do. A wage earner should be allowed to buy his tools in a free market. THE OREGOV PLAN, Oregon's minimum wage law, which was recently signed by Governor West, is the first one in America to have a compulsory clause. Failure to pay the rate of wages fixed and in the method provided by the law is punishable by fine or imprisonment or both. In Massachusetts, the first state to es tablish minimum wage boards, the only penalty is the publication of the names of offending employers in four newspapers in the county where their industries are located. The Oregon law applies only to women and children. An industrial welfare commission is created to de termine minimum wages, maximum hours and standard conditions of la bor. The commission is authorized to call a conference of representatives of the employers, the employees and the general public to investigate and make recommendations as to the minimum wage to be paid in a given industry. If the commission approves these recom mendations they become obligatory. The powers of the Oregon commission to determine hours and conditions of health and morals, says The Survey, are more extensive than those dele gated to an industrial commission by the legislature of any other state. The members of the commission are to be appointed by the governor. THE STRIKE AXD THE P I'll I.I C. As soon as the arbitration of the de mands of firemen for increased wages on the eastern railroads is disposed of, the question of an increase for con ductors and trainmen will come up. Their demands were formulated in Jan. uary and conferences between a com mittee of the brotherhoods and a com mittee of managers will begin next week. It is altogether probable that the firemen will get some advance, as said the engineers under the spe cial arbitration in their case. The fire men, with difficulty under obstinate threat, of striking, practically extorted consent to arbitration under -the Erd- man act. The trainmen and conductors, in case no agreement with the managers is reached, which is practically certain .to be the case, are likely to stand out for arbitration of the same kind, especially If the firemen secure advantage by it, and under the same sort of duress of a threat to tie up the railroads with a strike. Then the question, which was temporarily laid, will rise again. whether, the transportation system of the country is to be at the mercy of organized bodies of railroad employees. Strikes in the country's big industries are of comparatively small public con cern, but when the transporta tion facilities are interfered with everybody is more or less in terested. Some day even arbi tration may fail and then what. That the business of the entire country shall be paralyzed for any ex tended period by a labor dispute is in conceivable, but there is no apparent way of preventing if all the railway brotherhoods should go out at once. In the absence of any preparation f br such an event, of course the courts would take charge of the situation. Government operation of railroads may come to us at almost any time whether we want it or not. JAYHAWKEK JOTS In regard to the building of an elec tric line into Lawrence, the Gazette is demanding to be shown. The Olathe Register attributes the big increase in bank deposits in Kan sas to the blue sky law. Walt Mason's idea is that the only salvation for the flies is to show that they are good for the wheat. Gomer Davies' boy has recovered from a recent long illness, and "the old man" is again writing stuff for his paper. Tom Morgan calls attention to the fact that "the first white child born in Kansas" is not dying so rapidly as formerly. The retiring mayor of Ottawa cele brated the change to commission form of government by donating his last salary payment to charity. Leavenworth boasts that the county will be out of debt in three years. They have been so busy paying debts down there that they have not done much of anything else. A Salina preacher has announced that he will not marry any couple un less both have been baptized, neither divorced, both must have certificate", of good health, must publish the bans for three weeks, and must have two well known witnesses. The Ottawa Herald has discovered another place where reform is needed indicated by the following: What shall be done with these towns that are always making false claims? Em porta, for instance, has a "University Heights" addition, when the town hasn't any university merely a college and a normal school. GLOBE SIGHTS BT THIS ATCHISON OLOBB, The medals you pin on your own chest never nang rignt. It occurs to us that the average dog overestimates a rabbit. It is hard for an ultimate consumer to consumes as much as he used to. In time a smoker learns that some very onrn cigars nave a oeauutui gold vest. Tour viewpoint changes so often that there isn t much In having things "just so." Whenever anything serious happens, the militia is called to stand around in the way. Fashions have changed so there are now a few women with hair enough of their own. A retailer can always be relied upon to insist that the wholesaler makes most or the profit. Beyond the fact that he. is always on the other side, there seems to be some un certainty about just what a demagogue is. Jude Johnson: "I sometimes think that during this age young men are made to run automobiles and old men to pay the expenses." Much as you may envy a big league sal ary, we see by the papers that most of the players feel they are getting the worst of it. It occurs to us that the simplified spell ing board should do something for the names of immigrants before tackling our own fair language. A telegraph editor can't understand the nature of people who want to read all the harrowing details; he has to, and only a favored few like to do what they have to do. As one grows older, he becomes more practical, and ceases to worry because of the heartless manner in which the Noble Red Man was flimflammed out of his heritage. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. IFrom the Philadelphia Record. The man who buys his friends generally gets stuck. Cold treatment will generally kindle a flame of resentment. There are also as good compliments as ever were fished for. Lots of ,eople have plenty of dough without being well bred. To get a rise out of some men you would have to use an alarm clock. Money talks, in spite of the fact that some people want to keep it quiet. We seldom appreciate happiness until we reach the point where we speak of it in the past tense. There are times when the quitter and the fellow who never knows when he is licked envy each other. Lightning never strikes twice in the seme place, and luck seldom comes back to play a return engagement. When he is cast in the shade the op timist congratulates himself that he won't suffer from sunstroke, anyhow. Wigg "Henpekke says his was a case of love at first sight." Wagg "And I suppose he has never had a chance for another look." "The pen is mightier than the sword." quoted the Wise Guy. "Just the same, I'll bet you a big apple the sword swal lower makes more money than the poet," added the Simple Mug. "And what particular form of insanity has this one developed" asked the visitor who was inspecting the asylum. "He Is constantly writing popular songs," replied the guard. "Gee! I know where you can get a lot more if you want 'em," exclaimed the visitor. HUMOR OF THE DAY Shocks. "Why do you refer to that orator as the human high explosive?" "Because be is always getting the uplift confused with outburst." Washington Star. Above and Belov. "Things are getting very intensive." "Yes, I suppose the pro moter of the future will propose to oper ate a copper mine and a banana plantation on the same plot." Boston Advertiser. "The office," said the idealist, "ought to seek the man." "Yes," replied tha conspicuous patriot. "But judicious ad vertising makes the man easier to find." Washington Star. BY TEE WAY BT Hixm PAKSON8. The society for the prevention of mistreatment of children should look into this case: it is reported, on re liable authority, that a healthy, play ful child of 16 summers, who, as an infantile prank, murdered a woman and her two little children, is being confined in a vile Illinois jail. We are pleased to note that the Hon. Bill Nelson was adjudged not quite guilty of contempt. Our theory that some newspapers can put over anything and get away with it, was on shaky, ground for a little while. The legal length for a bathing skirt at Atlantic City this season, is "just a little above the knee." This is print ed as a warning to local sassiety belles who may contemplate wallowing in tne briny adjacent to tne board walk this summer. Be sure and wear them "above the knee." If they reach below the patella, one might be pincnea by a boardwalk constaDuie, by heck. "Port" and "Starboard" have been eliminated from the naval vocabulary. The next reform for the navy will be an order from some interior-bred of ficial concerning deep-sea going com mands, and we may see the day when the officer in charge will depose as follows: "Mr. Jones, .will you kindly step to the right-hand stairway and tell the Janitor that I desire to converse with him on the front porch?" Any man is liable to have trouble in collecting what is coming to mm. but if he is elevated to some high po sition, there are plenty of people who will pay their respects before due. It is a bad example to set before hardworking ball players who play ball. Tyrus Cobb, holdout, gets his name in print about as often as a real ball player. But, according to the manager who owns but cannot realize dividends on Tyrus, it will not be long before we shall be instructed to write it, "ex ballplayer." It is probably on the theory that "what you don't know "won't hurt you" that tne swell nasn zounanea print their menus in mrencn. But if that is the answer, it would be more to the purpose to print the prices in Egyptian heilograpnics. The Bull and Republicans have about as much chance to get together, according to Jack Supp, as the two or three factions of the U. A. JrC "Our newest senator," says Hondo Murphy, "in writing his biography for the Congressional Directory, can didly admits that he is some short grass Dunkln, and that he is a credit to all involved, including himself, the state and the nation. The only thing wrong with his self-inflicted obituary lies with the custom.- All new sena tors should be warned, when they write for that publication, that every one in the country, with the excep tion of the senator himself, knows that there is no congressional bio grapher on the national pay roll." There are several ways to avoid the accumulation of filthy lucre and dy ing rich. The best is trying to keep up a 1903 standard of living on a 1913 salary. There's nothing makes a man act so brave as to know that he is facing a worse coward. SAYS UNCLE GAV A snob is one" who fears to pass at his real value. Snobbishness is pecu liarly the vice of the sham. It is in compatible with honest worth and is the brand of fraud. The snob never learns that gold cannot be contaiminated by the pres ence of baser metals. Test it with acid, run it through the crusher and the mill, burn it with fire, and it is still gold Likewise he has never learned the simple lesson of Him that con sorted with publicans and sinners, who talked with the woman of Samaria by the well and took no shame of it. Ex cellence never feared to be placed side by side with that which is inferior. Merit does not shy at association with them that lack it. He who is sure of himself is never afraid of being judged by his surroundings. A lily in the mud is a lily still. He that hath his lamp trimmed has no concern lest his light be thought dim among those that neglected oil ana wicks. The snob is a self accuser a goat that flocks with sheep and therebycalls the attention af all to his goathood The social snob is always a person of mediocre attainments, and always more or less vulgar. He depends upon wealth or birth to bring him the distinction which he claims, and suc ceeds only in making himself a con spicuous ass among men of real worth and excellence. Snobbishness is the acme of vulgarity; it indicates a lack of refinement as well as a lack of wit Chesterfield in a procession of yokels would have been Chesterfield still, but would have branded himself a maniac to have rushed about pro claiming his identity for fear the dif ference between his bearing and that of his fellow pedestrians would not be noted. The pearl cast before swine needs none to say tnat it is not a pignut. Whatever you are, wherever you are, your character, bearing and deeds will speak for themselves. If you are not content to be known by your fruits, you only make the matter worse by advertising the fact. If you are a person of real worth, you may consort with whom you please. Only asses fancy themselves in need of avoiding other society than that of thoroughbreds. And when they have achieved this society, they are betray ed by their long ears. (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Nearly every little woman has a man under her thumb. Anyway, Ezra, you don't require capital to start a rumor. When a sea captain marries a widow he becomes second mate. Too bad, but some people simply can't exchange their dollars for sense. Some men look for trouble in order that they may be prepared to dodge. Many a man gets the reputation of be ing "good fellow" when he is going to the bad. What some folks need is a fool-proof pay envelope that can't be opened until they get home. A satisfactory husband Is capable of ap preciating her oAhas sense enough to He about it. Probably the hardest thing for a girl to do when she is being kissed by a young man is to make him believe that it is her first experience. AX EVERYDAY EXPERIEXCE., "Hello, Central!"

As a ctranger, stopping for a day at the inn at the village of Rose dale, one might have heard that .farmer Brown had broken his leg. It would have been of very little interest. Farmers and others are breaking their legs, and even their necks, every day in the year. The announcement did not greatly in terest the villagers. They said "Poor devil,'. and then went to talk ing of other matters. There were Just six persons actively interested in the accident. The first was Farmer Brown; the second, his aaugnter Mary; the third, a young man named Tom Cushman; the fourth an old skinflint named Ferguson, and tne nrtn and sixth, two tramps. iom cusnman was a young man, the Bon of a widoW; he had a grocery and was postmaster at Rosedale. He was steady and honest and everybody liked him. Mary Brown was under 20, and had been her father's housekeeper since her mothers death, three years before. Ferguson was an old man and money-lender. He had about as much mercy on such borrowers as couldn't pay to the day and hour as a wounded tiger has on its hunter. He held a mortgage on the Brown farm and principal and interest were due in a few days after the accident By the hardest kind of. work and the strictest economy all but $25 of the $120 had been saved. This sum was to be borrowed from some one else, and that some one else was Tom Cushman. He and the farmer's daughter had fallen in love with each other and were waiting until things came right to be married. On a certain forenoon two tramps entered the village of Rosedale in company. At the postoffice door stood Tom Cushman. Tihey halted before him and gave him the military salute and one of them said: We introduce ourselves as the firm of Hoke Poke.' "We pad the roof." "We tour from place to place." "We tal:e in all sights, including cyclones, earthquakes, conflagrations, eclipses of the sun and moon." "My name is Hoke, and I know something about law. The gent be side me is named Poke, and he is a philosopher. Our aim and object is to inquire if a letter addressed to Messrs, Hoke Poke had reached this post- office?" "It has not," replied Tom. On the afternoon of the same day Mary Brown set out to walk three miles to the house of the money lender to pay off the mortgage. She had the cash with her, and felt a bit timid when she caught sight of two tramps pulling turnips in a field. Mr. Ferguson had left his house at the same time Mary did hers. He was going to walk down to the Brown farm and tell the farmer that his broken leg would make no difference about the mortgage. It must be paid off before high noon next day or there would be a foreclosure. The man and the girl met on a lit tie. bridge on the highway. 'It won t do any good to come sniveling to me," he almost shouted. I have the money to pay the mort gage," she quietly replied. "Oh, you have? It's $120." "Yes." She took the roll from the bosom of her dress and handed it .to mim. and he stepped away a few feet and sat down on a stone and counted it. There were a good many dollar bills and about ten dollars in silver. "It seems to be all right," he said. "I am sure it is," replied Mary. "Did you bring the mortgage with you?" "Of course not. Don't you know bet ter than that?" "Why, father told me to get it when I handed over the money." "Then he's a fool, -too. A release has got to be sent with it to the coun ty clerk, and when he has fixed things he'll mall them to you." "But don't I get a receipt for the money?" "Why? You've paid it and that's enough." The girl realized that she and her father knew very little about business matters. When she reached home and told her story he said he guessed it was all right. Ferguson was a skinflint, but they had never heard of his swindling any one. The matter rested easily un til Tom Cushman came out to the farm on the following Sunday. "I don't like it I don't like it a hit!" he said when told that Mary had handed over the money and taken no receipt for it- "But Ferguson wouldn't dare lie about it," said the farmer. "Oh, he wouldn't!" "But Mary took the money to him." "We know she did, but suppose he says he never even saw her that day?" "And he'd have the money and the mortgage still be hanging over me?" "Exactly. I'll telephone the county clerk the first thing In the morning and see if the papers have been re ceived." "No such papers!" was the answer to the young man's communication. He thereupon telephoned to Ferguson direct, and answer was: "No one has brought me any money!" "But Mary gave It to you at the little bridge." "I wasn't within a mile of the bridge that day. "But I say "But you can say what you "darn please! I'm going to bold off on Brown for a week or two longer, to show folks that I'm decent when misfortune comes." 'You are a liar and a scoundrel!" You keep your nose out of this thing, young man. or you'll find your self behind iron bars!' then over to the county seat to con sult a lawyer. The story was told and when it was finished the man of law shook his head and said: "He's swindled you, but -in a way you can't touch him." jsut I cave him the money," pro tested Mary. "I believe you, but he will deny it." "But if the old scoundrel forecloses that mortgage I'll I'll threatened Tom. "If you do you'll go to prison. Miss Brown, did no one pass -while i"ou were at the bridge?" "Not a souL' "And was no one working In the rieias.' "I saw no one. "Well, it's a hard case. I'll have the old man here and see if I can't scare or bluff him, -though I have little hope.' Four days passed. Again Tom Cush man stood at the postoffice door and again two tramps came marching and wnistiing. "No letter for Messrs. Hoke Poke," ne laughed. "Didn't expect one," replied Hoke. "I'm something of a lawyer." "Yes?" "And Poke is something of a phil- osopner." "Well?" "A few days ago, and three or four miles away, we had to pull turnips from a field for our luncheon. There was an old man coming from one di rection and a girl from another. We got under a bridge to hide our lack of table manners." "What's that!" exclaimed Tom. "The girl brought the old man money to pay off a mortgage. We heard him count it. There was $120." "You heard that?" "We did, and we heard her ask for a receipt and him refuse. We didn't know but that the turnips belonged to the old chap, and we didn't show ourselves. We went on. We had got over thirty miles away when I says to rxKe: 'I'm a lawyer 'nuff to know that human natur' is vile'; so we've come back to stand before you and ax you if you have heard of any trouble about a gal and an old man and a mort gage?" Two hours later they were telling tneir story to Tom's lawyer. The old man had been sent for and put through the third degree, but had steadily de nied everything. He was sent for again, and within ten minutes he was ready to own up and do the square thing. It was up to Tom to present each tramp with a $5 bill, but they.put their hands behind them while Mr. Hoke ex plained: "Mr. Hoke ""is something of a lawyer and Mr. Poke is something of a phil- osopner, ana Mr. none s law and Mr. Pokes philosophy make it plain to them that you are goin' to marry the gal, and that you'll treat her right and make her happy, and that'll be reward 'nuff for Messrs. Hoke Poke." (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) J EVENING CBAT bt rotb: cajicbrow. On Getting Hart. A young woman was making ar rangements to entertain a small group of her college mates at a" house party, 'I'd like to invite Margaret." she said regretfully as she went over the list with her mother, "but there really isn't any man I could invite for her, and it would be awkward to have her without under the circumstances." "Won't she be hurt, if you leave her outr asked the mother. "Thank good ness, no,'- said the daughter, emphat ically. "Most f the girls would, but Margaret is one of those people who don't get hurt. I guess cho is too busy." Doesn't that description make you think you would like to know Margaret, whoever she is? That was the effect It had upon me. I had never met the girl to whom my friends referred nor even heard her name mentioned, but when I heard that characterization I fait my heart warm towards her. "One of those people who don't get hurt," how many people do you know of whom you could confidently say that? Not many, I reckon. Permitting one's self to get hurt over fancied slights or real grievances is too much of a luxury to the average per son to be willingly dispensed with. What some people would find to oc cupy their minds if they did not have grievances to nurse and slights to brood over. I cannot imagine. I suppose they would be as unhappy as- a married woman I used to know. She had no children, no intellectual interests and. as sne Doaraed at a Hotel, no household cares. She was crying down married life to me one day. "My dear," she said, you can't imagine how bored am with the whole thing. Why, Phil and I haven't even had a gcod quarrel for three mon.ns. I suppose the people who take such pleasure in getting hurt are in much the same ttate of ennui when they can not rind a grievance. The sensitiveness which makes its possessors continually fancy them selves slighted or hurt has too long been regarded as a kind of virtue, or at least the hall-mark of an artistic temperament. To me it is nothing but another name for self-centeredness and the hall-mark of an unoccupied mind. It is only people who have nothing to think about but themselves are super-sensitive, ine misy, unsel fish people do not have time to won der if they are being slighted. Sensitiveness is a fine enough quality so long as you are sensitive to the right thing. Be as sensitive to beauty as you can. There is happiness in that for you. Fortunate indeed is the man who can say "My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky." Be as sensitive to the suffering of others as you can; but as for the paltry, self pitying, self-centered sensitiveness that is forever "getting hurt," don't consider that a virtue, for it isn't. The virtue lies on the side of those people who, like Margaret, are too busy to feel it. Goldsmith Was There. When the late Franklin Fyles first visited London he told his traveling companion, as they rose from break fast the first morning, that he would have to be gone most of the day. "I've got to see a doctor and a lawyer, to whom I have cards of introduction," he explained, "and there are a couple of dramatic critica here who've writ ten me to call as soon as I reached town. Then I'm going to hunt up Goldsmith's grave in Temple Garden I'd rather see that than any other one .thing in all England." A few minutes past 10 Mr. Fyles walked into the hotel again, and. to his friend's surprised look, merely said: "Doctor and lawyer and critics all out. Only man at home was Oli ver." Lippincott'a. KANSAS COMMENT ARE TOO NERVOUS. Those having the care of prisoners are too nervous concerning their keep. It is right that thev should be treated humane ly and induced, if possible, to reform. But wher3 sane prisoners threaten to do them selves bodily harm their keepers ought not to become too greatly exercised con-, cemmg tne mnw. Tnere comes a Btory from Paris of a notorious anarchist who had committed many crimes and who kept the authorities of the prison in which he was confined, the judge of the court and a great crowd of other people begging him for two hours not to jump from the roof of the jail, and finally he jumped. Now. in the first place, probably the best thing that fellow ever did for the world was to take himself out of it and In the second place, he probably would not have done it had the authorities shown indifference Instead of becoming so ex tremely solicitous and gathering a crowd before whom the volatile Frenchman could make a sensational exit. And the same is true of the militant suffragettes in England. If their attempts to starve themselves were treated with in difference by their keepers and the sensi ble people of the country there would oe very little starving. Once let them know that that sort of thing won't excite the public and they will not do it. Leaven worth Times. MAKINa"!?-" WHITE." The prediction that "we will make the map of the. United States white in a few years." made by opponents of the saloon system of the country, is rapidly being fulfilled. As the count stands alter a number of rounds have been fought it shows a slight majority for the folks who are "painting it white." In other words more than half the population of the United States now live under prohibition laws. And the area is being rapidly ex tended. To be Bure there are reports from nere and there that the per capita consumption of llauor is on the increase, out it tnat is true someone is raising quite a howl. And it isn't the antl-llquor people who are doing all the howling, either. The salqon forces know they have been going some and know they are not fighting a child. Prohibition as a legal measure is wom- iner into the laws of many a state. In some It is in the constitution and In others laws make liquor an outlaw aitogetner or in certain sections. Counties and mu nicipalities where liquor is legally sold are growing fewer in number with each elec tion test and "the map of the United States is growing whiter each year." The liquor folks had better look a little out. Hutchinson News. THE DAWN IS BREAKING. An ex-congressman. Harry M. Coudrey, of Missouri, has been sentenced to four years in the federal penitentiary at Leav enworth for using the mails to defraud. The law provides either a fine or a peni tentiary sentence or both fine and lm pr.sonment and the court gave him both. everyone regrets that a man who has been honored and who enjoyed the confi dence of his fellows should have fallen, but the fact that he occupied the place he did, given the confidence of the peo ple of his district, added to his power t defraud. The exultation in this is the fact that disregarding his position. W wealth and influence, the court gave to the only ex-congressman the only punish ment that sucn men tear, u ms is tne oniy way to strike terror in the hearts of theae financial bucaneers who fly the black flair, regardless of law. A line means nothing to these offenders. The fine is promptly paid, and the price raised enough to get it back in twenty-four hours, and then the robbery goes on aa before. Parsons Sun. FROM OTHER PENS CHECK TO WOMAN SUFFRAGE The overwhelming defeat of woman suffrage at the special election held in Michigan on Monday is significant. It indicates that many of the voters who were not enough interested to cast their ballots on the proposed amend ment to the constitution at the election last fall were really opposed to it, and this will be a bitter disappoint ment to the suffragists who in sisted upon bringing up the question again on the ground that the presi dential election overshadowed the issue at that time.. The sentiment against the measure is emphasized because amendments providing for the initia tive, referendum and recall were adopted by apparently safe majorities. As suffrage was included with these other measures in the' program of the Progressives, it is obvious that even in the ranks of that party there is a very large element of doubt over the expediency of swallowing the whole Bull Moose dogma at one gulp. Michigan is the first state east of the Mississippi river to refer the sub ject of equal franchise directly to all the people at the polls. The difference in opinion from that manifested in fa? western states like Colorado, California and Oregon shows that as the propa ganda makes its way into the older and more conservative communities of the east it is likely to meet an increas ing degree of resistance. It would ap pear from the returns in Michigan that the populous cities and towns are almost solidly against granting the privilege, and as it is such urban cen ters which largely dominate the elec tions in the eastern states, it is prob able that, unless there shall be a radi cal reversal of feeling, the day of vic tory for the movement in this part -.f the country must be far distant. Phila delphia Bulletin. THE SENATE AND THE PEOPLE. Now that the amendment providing for the popular election of senators has become a part of the constitution, the enormous disproportion in the rep resentation of the people in the sen ate is becoming more marked. It Is the theory of the constitution that the senate represents the states and the house of representatives the body of the people. If the senate does not rep resent the state idea pure and simple if all the states are not equal there, regardless f the numbers of their peo ple or their wealth then there is no reason for the existence of the senate at all. We cannot suppose that the existence of that body is founded on social rank, or family position and wealth, as la the case with the British house of lords. It is merely the ex ponent of the home rule idea the cen trifugal force In our nation and a check on the consolidated democratic masses of the whole nation. Theoreti cally, the seventeenth amendment does not affect this principle at all. It Is supposed merely to make -a change in the manner of electing the senators. They represent the states Just the same. But there can be no doubt that the fathers believed that the system of election by the legislatures waa a logical accompaniment or corollary of this fundamental idea of the senate's position. And the almost unanimous ratification of the new amendment is really a warning that the old centri fugal principle has been weakened. Though the senate still stands for the states and not the whole people, the whole people have shouldered their way, by this aggressive amendment, a little further into power.

Mr. Lodge finds much to like and dislike at the gulf seaport city. The Santa Vk fnlk down -there, treat the ex newspaper man royally and have done everything possiDie to mase nun hr.b his new work. But Mr. Lodge was long in the old game and made many warm friends in Topeka. Yet there is one thing in Galveston that warms the cockles of his heart. Fish! ie writes like one of Foquet's epicureans about the product of the labors of the gulf fishermen. In one paragraph or nis letter Mr. Lodge says: "If you like good fish to eat, you must make it this way for a vacation. A baked red-snapper is an epicurean delight. A fried flounder makes you wish your capacity was larger. A smelt salad is in a class of its own. An oyster loaf touches a spot that has never been hit before. But when you tackle a broiled Spanish mackerel, fresh from the gulf, you have hard work realizing that anything could be so good. Then there is a crab gumbo that makes your innards smile, and many other delicacies from the sea that beggar description, such as fish throats, for instance. They slice the throats out of red-snappers and other fish and broil a dozen of them for a mess and, believe me, they are some eating." Lynchburg Sews Burned. Lynchburg Va., April 22.

By a senate resolution, they cannot be removed ex cept by action of the senate. Most of them have been employed as doorkeepers. The senate Democrats, as soon as they got in power, began casting around to see wnat tney could do in regard to the places neid ty tne old veterans. Not caring to oust tnem, tney proceeded to cut salaries. in a number or cases, the reduction is one-half of the salary. Aged veterans who are unable to perform manual labor. it is charged, have been sent down to the tolding room. Senator Smoot called a meeting in his office the other day. But some of the old soldiers asked him to take no action for the present, saying they had been advised they would be discharged entirely if any move was made in the senate to restore their salaries. The Utah senator says the treatment ot the veterans is unjust, that the Demo crats are treating as political Jobs places the Republicans never dreamed of so treating, and that the country will not countenance what is being done when It understands it. Quite a number of tne old soldiers holding positions as door keepers in the senate are now wearing uniforms of capitol police. Their salaries have been cut almost in two. Senator William E. D.

TEE TOPEKA, DAILY STATEJOUR'N Ali TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1913- CANNOT-COLLECT Eren Though Bull Rampaged Into Her Mouse. Ferris Denied Damages in U. S. Court. The most unique case to be tried before the federal court which con- vened last week in Topeka was that "of Mary Ferris versus the Fowler Packing company. Plaintiff asked damages of $10,000 for injuries re ceived when a maddened, steer charg ed across her lawn, galloped over her back porch, crashed through 4 the house and .pursued- her halfway up the stairs leading to the second story. .The case was dismissed on the tech nicality providing against "establish ing claim for damages received from fright. Mrs. Ferris was brought from Kansas City on a 'cot, and carried to the court room on a stretcher. -Physicians testified that her malady was hardening of the arteries, an old trou ble, and she received not a penny. The case, story of which was published- -in detail several months ago -.in the State Jorrfal. caused much amusement among federal officials. Mrs. Ferris was resting on her piazza when a drove of cattle, bound for the Fowler Packing company and under charge of their employees, passed her house. A steer broke loose and charg ed in her direction, head down, tail up. Mrs. Ferris rushed for the hall, .and bolted the door. The steer promptly abandoned the front of the house, raced across the back porch, entered the house. Mrs. Ferris faint ed half way up the stairs, the steer in hot pursuit. He was caught, however, before he had reached her. The case pivoted on the fact that he had not "touched her. The accident happened in July 1911. and suit was not filed until 18 months later. Plaintiff alleged that damages received from frigHt had proved permanently detrimental- to her health. credit to Kansas and other western states and has done more to- boom the state than anything else except the banks and railways. The credit is ob tained through first mortgage farm loans, he -said, of which aHI the big companies, hold a large amount. He took occasion in tiiis particular to condemn the proposed mortgage tax law which failed of passage In the last legislature, calling attention to the fact that many of the' mortgages held by the life companies carry a clause orovidine thev shall immediately be come due In case a tax law is passed by the legislature, and declaring that endless foreclosures would inevitable follow legislative action..

Neely, who obstructed and delayed the fire company and exceeded the speed limit Monday at midnight. The,.-city. Are marshal .is on the war path, and intendes to pursue law breakers with avidity. The practicing of racing with the tractor and chief's car, he declares, must stop. It is especially menacing at night. The fire trucks are provid ed with powerful searchlights, and drivers have been instructed to use them in hounding down automobile drivers who persist in impeding- the progress of the department. "The department is here for busi ness, not for a race," he observed, "A certain class of machine drivers will learn to their sorrow that the fire com pany is not to be trifled with." The car driven by Neely kept pace with tractor No. 3, and kicked up a dust that partially blinded the drivers. The company was answering an alarm on the West side, and hurtling down West Sixth avenue. The chief declares it was only by phenomenal luck that a collision was avoided. A- letter has been received from F. M. Spencer, John Sargent and Henry Bennett, who were appointed to ex amine fire station No. 1. and file a re port with the mayor. The North To peka station has been declared a men ace to public safety, and inadequate in affording fire protection to the mill- lie health and sanitation.

Gllck, former governor of Kansas, is the opinion today of certain per sons in the state house. It is re ported that it is even possible that le gal action will be taken to prevent the placing' of the new $6,000 Click statue in the hall of fame. Some years ago a Kansas legislature' enacted a provision which declared that the second and last place in the hall of fame should be occupied by a statue immortalizing the memory of John Brown. But the legislative ac tion failed to carry with it an appro priation. It is claimed, however, that the measure has never been repealed and was in force and effect when the 1913 legislature met and appropriated $6,000 for a statue in memory of ex Governor Glick to be placed in Statu ary hall, Washington. The- executive council has already let the contract for the Glick statue. which will occupy a niche in the hall of fame near the statue erected to the memory of the late John J. Ingalls. Now, it is claimed, an effort will be made to set aside the appropriation by the legislature and the action of the executive council and to reserve the place in Statuary hall for a statue of Brown, following an appropriation by some future legislature. Kansas is entitled to but two places in Statuary hall. One is now occupied by a statue erected to the memory of John J. In galis and if the action of the 1913 leg islature is followed out, the space al lotted to Kansas will have been taken. WOMEN WIN IN PA.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TTTESD AY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1913- THEY COMETO HIM Senator Thompson Don't Hare to Seek His Troubles. .Democrats to Washington on Patronage Tights. There is a black, threatening war cloud hanging over the head of Unit ed States Senator William H. Thomp rn n Wnshinctoii this week and it k. hrouka there will be 8 brand new Democratic fight in Kansas before the opening of the 1914 cam paign. Many Kansas Democrats have candidly admitted that they are not pleased with the free handed manner --in which the junior Kansas senator has handled the distribution of post offices in congressional districts pre sided over by Republican members of congress and the Kansas delegation has gone to Washington to tell Sena tor Thompson just what they think of his policy. As early as last Saturday local Dem ocratic leaders from the First, Third and Eighth districts began gathering In Washington for a conference with the new senator. This week the dele gation is being re-enforced by the ar rival of new workers. All the trouble Is over the manner in which Senator Thompson according to charges or many Kansans has ignored the lead- ers at home and named new postmas ters in certain towns without so much as a conference with the local con gressional committees or members or the state or national committee. Trouble In First, Third and FJglitn. In the distribution of postoffice pat ronage In the five congressional dis tricts from which Democrats were elected last fall, there has been com paratively little trouble carried to the door of the new United States senator. But in the remaining three districts the First, Third and Eighth there has been something of a storm of protest regarding Senator Thompson s free and independent system of naming Democratic postmasters. rt nnra it lust happens, that nf tha fattest nostoffice jobs in the state are in these three districts from which Republican cragre....r.. have been elected. With a Democratic congress and a Democratic presiaem, the Republican postoffices are going the same way in the First. Third and Eighth districts that they went in the remaining five districts to the hun gry Democrats. That policy meant that in such towns as Topeka, Leav enworth and Atchison in the First. Pittsburg, Coffevville, Independence, Chanute and Parsons in the Third, and Wichita. Wellington 'and Newton In the Eighth, that the Republican postmasters were to be replaced by Democrats. It was quite natural, of course, for the members of the state and con gressional committees in these dis tricts to have some voice in the nam ing of the new postmaster. It was a sort of unwritten rule or law. Mem bers of these committees were nat urally expected to know the most competent and deserving candidates and it has been a rare occasion in former years when a congressman or senator violated the rule of conferring with the local committeemen, before making appointments. If charges are true. Senator Thompson must have forgotten all about this policy. He has gone merrily. oh his way, select ing such men for postoffices as suit ed his own notion and explaining to no one. And Kansas Democracy, or at least a vtry fair representation, has gone to Washington to demand an explanation. Wilson Men Are Wroth. Another thing which is entering into the Kansas political upheaval is the fact that in certain localities original Wilson boosters feel that they are being ignored In the distribution of nice, soft federal jobs. Senator Thompson was a Clark supporter be fore the Baltimore convention. So in making up the indictments against the new Democratic senator from Kansas, one of the charges that has been filed is the assertion that Clark men have in many instances been given preference over Wilson men for postoffice jobs. The Kansas dele gation in Washington this week will Inquire about that matter, also. Still another grievance which comes from the Democratic politicians In Kansas, is the assertion that Sen ator Thompson hasn't "played ball" with other members of the congres sional delegation from this state. It is even asserted that on .some few occasions Senator Thompson has cross fired with the five Democratic congressmen in the matter of federal patronage and that these events have added a few new storm clouds to the skies which were so clear and spot less when the Democrats first went to Washington. The Case or Pepperill. One of the real live incidents of factional troubles among the Kan sas Democrats was In the appoint ment of W. H. L. Pepperill of Con cordia as internal revenue collector to succeed Fremont Leidy. Pepperill served 20 yemrs as secretary of the Democratic state committee. But during the recent campaign Pepperill admitted that he didn't believe the Thompson speeches were making Democratic votes and did not hesi tate to tell the Garden City judge his candid opinion. Whereupon Thomp son made replies and Pepperill re plied to Thompson's replies. The re- Isult was that Thompson opened Inde pendent headquarters and conducted his own speaking and publicity Bu reau. fjk When Thompson was elected, Pep' perill made known his desire to be internal revenue collector. Thompson didn't smile on Pepperill's candidacy. So Pepperill secured personal en dorsements from about every man in Kansas Democratic politics whoa en dorsement was of value and went to Washington with the documents. Every other member of the Kansas delegation was for Pepperill. But Senator Thompson hesitated. Finally Pepperill was recommended., but men wise in politics do ndt accredit Pep perill's selection as a tribute by Thompson to the Concordia marl's work and record. Mulroy Goes to Washington. So with all of these things fresh in their mind. Kansas Democrats are this week telling Senator Thompson just what they think of the situation at home. Miles H. Mulroy, president of the Kansas Democratic club and speaker pro tern in the recent session of the house, left last night for Washington. He admitted that he was going to Washington to join number of men who had preceded him, but declined to give the names of the men whom he expected to meet when he arrived at the national cap ital. Neither would Mulroy make definite statement about the purpose of the visit further than to admit that 'Kansas patronage might be dis- cussed." BURY IN CELLAR Woman Tells Weird Story Mother and Sister. of St. Louis Police Find Bodies in Dark Basement. POP-POP PATROL. Motorcyclists Would Serve as Special Deputies. Kansas motorcycle riders will organ ize a patrol to catch horsethieves, bank robbers and other law violators ac cording to P. E. Zimmerman of Linds- borg, secretary of the Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle club. Zimmerman visited the state house today and his plan for a pop pop patrol was en' dorsed by Governor Hodges, Attorney General Dawson, Bank Commissioner Sawyer and Adjutant General Martin. There are at present about 600 mem bers of the Short Grass Motorcycle club. Zimmerman's plan would make the organization state-wide and mem bers of the club would be given the power of deputy sheriffs in the aP' prehension of law-breakers. Members of the patrol would serve without pay although they woujd be entitled to any rewards offered for apprehension of criminals. "I believe -the patrol would prove of great benefit to the local officers in the counties of the state," said Zim merman. "With the new and modern' methods of escape which are adopted by law breakers, the work of the ma torcycle patrol would give them an awful handicap. Another purpose to which the patrol (would be of service would be in the 'army encampments when our members could act as mes sengers or aides." Zimmerman's plan would call for an organization in every county in the state, with state, district and county officers who could direct the work of the men assigned to the jobs of crimi nal catching. Each member of the patrol would be given a deputy sheriff's commission and would have the power to make arrests for law violations State officials with whom Zimmerman today discussed his plan, declared that they believed the new organization would prove valuable to the state in the enforcement of law and approved the Lindsborg s man plan of organiza tion. St. Louis, April 22. The bodies of Mrs.-. Ernestine M. Komnichau and Tier daughter Selma were found short ly before noon today buried in the basement of a building at 2412 South .Broadway. Marie Komnichau, an other daughter, was arrested at the city hospital shortly after noon for in vestigation in connection with the mysterv. Trie investigation that led to finding oi the bodies resulted from a tele phone message to police headquarters shortly before noon today, when the owner of the building, Alphonze Stuhr, reported that he had noticed a pecu liar odor about the house. Two de tectives went to the "place and in the basement they found a newly made grave. They uncovered the feet of woman and then began the work of digging up the body.

She explained that with her mother and sister she had conducted a notion store in the front room of the house at No. 2412 South Broadway for nearly 20 years. "My mother and sister were afraid of being buried in cemeteries." she said "They were afraid their bodies would be stolen, and also afraid that they would be buried alive. That was the only reason I did not have their bodies attended to In the usual way "My mother died nine months before! my sister did. I don't- remember the exact date, but sister died February 10 ana I figured It back at that time, so I know there was nine months differ ence. My sister died of heart trouble and from taking to much headache powders. My mother died of old age. Before my mother died she made sis ter and me promise that we would not take her body out of the house so the undertaker could get her. We had no doctor for her there has not been doctor in her house for ten years and a doctor could have done mother no good. "I put her body in a showcase, which we took from the notion store, ana poured plaster of parts around the glass and cracks to keep the air out.

That was substantially the message which the supreme court this afternoon conveyed to Judge Gillett in an application for writ of mandamus filed by -Wilcox. Twice the Gillett-Wilcox troubles come before the supreme court on mandamus proceedings. Because Wil cox is defendant in a disbarment suit now before, the supreme court. Judge Gillett has refused to hear contested cases in which Wilcox acts as an at torney.

Kansas Dealers Tell of International Harvester Competition. Kansas City, April 22. At the resump tion of the hearing of the government anti-trust suit against the International Harvester company today a number of witnesses testified that -excepting binder twine, the combine nas in their several communities controlled from 70 to 100 per cent of the trade in harvesting machinery and supplies. Most of the witnesses, implement deal ers in Missouri and Kansas towns, said that the International share of the twine trade was cut down to about SO per cent of the total consumption by competition from the penitentiary made article and from the product of one or two independ ent makers. Edwin P. Grosvenor of the department of justice, who is conducting the government s case, in his cross ex amination of the Harvester company's witnesses at the present hearing is laying stre3 upon the compilation of a "table ot per cents" showing by the testimony of real dealers the proportion or interna tional made implements sold in Missouri and Kansas.

THE TOPWKA BAIL STATE JOTONAt- TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 22. 1913- CUPID BOTHERS KAISER! Daughter of American Aambas-'ailor in Love With Duke. Washington, April 22. The United States ambassador to Germany, John G. Leishmann, Is- running the risk of having the kaiser ask for his recall, if he insists on marrying his daughter to the duke of Croy, contrary to the wishes of the German court, according to state department officials. Secretary Bryan was somewhat dis turbed today because of the report that the kaiser was angry with the ambassador for permitting a courtship to progress to the extent of an en gagement between his daughter and the duke. It is the opinion of the state depart ment that when Mr. Leishman accepted the ambassadorship to Germany he was bound to abide by the court etiquette which makes its own rules for the marriage of royal personages. If he persists in favoring a romance that is displeasing to the kaiser, nothing short of a rebuke of some character can be expected, it is claimed. No one here believes that Ambassa dor Leishman will consent to a mor ganatic marriage between his daughter and the duke of Croy. .Miss Nancy Leishmann is not known to Washington society. She has never visited here, having been taken abroad when quite young. COBB'S SECRET OUT. Officers of Players' Fraternity Wants Case Arbitrated. New York, April 22. Ty Cobb's re fusal to report for duty with the De troit club because among other things he demands an increase in his salary to J15.000. has brought puDiiciiy iu the fact here that Cobb is one of the vice presidents of the baseball players fraternity. The significance of this is discussed in baseball circles as na ma an important bearing on the principles of the fraternity, for when the new protective union of baseball players was organized last October, one of the principal objects in view was declared to be the arbitration of disputes over salaries between players and their em plovers. An advisory board was ap pointed to handle just such cases and Cobb was named as one of six mem-, bers to serve in this capacity. So far as known, however, the advisory ooard has made no overtures for the. irbitration of this matter in which one 3f its own members is involved. It is said that the board's failure to make any arbitration offer is due to Cobb's refusal to sanction such a move, as Cobb asserts there is nothing to arbi :rate.

NORTH SIDE NEWS Will Connect Both Mains Fire Protection. for 17. P. Begins Work at Once on Coal Chute. The demand made yesterday of the commissioners and the mayor by tho North Topeka Civic club for more pro tection against fire is already bringing results. Work of tearing up the paving at the north end of the Melan bridge was commenced this morning for the purpose of making a connection of the big ten inch main with North Topeka. In the past North Topeka has depended on the one main which crosses the river at the east side of the bridge and in case of a big fire had anything happened to this main North Topeka would have been without water. The west main will be extended as far north as Norris street. The people of the North side intend agi tating the question of more fire protection until they get what they need. Good Weather for Chinch Bugs. The chinch bug proposition has not been helped by the warm, windy days whch have just passed. L. E. Anderson, who owns a fourth interest in a large ranch at Maple Hill and who has just returned from there, says that he is donating patch of wheat containing thirty-five acres to the bugs and that they will spoil a great many more acres If it does not rain soon. The farmers are. all agreed that two or three rain storms would en tirely eliminate the pests and the weather man is preaicting tne rains so Dusiness is looking bad for the chinch bugs. The Union Pacific Coal Chute. The Union Pacific has the sand, iron and rock on the ground ready to com mence work next week on the new coal chute. None of the material for the new freight depot has arrived but the orders are all made out and it is thought that they will arrive about the middle of May. The clanking of the shovel that has been loading the coal in the place of the chute has led many to believe that work had been started. This is a wrong impression but after-Monday work will be rushed -on the chute; Personal Mention. Mrs. Belle Eads left last night for Springfield, 111., where she will remain in definitely. John B.

10 TOPUKA DAILY STATE JOTON a T-TUESDAY EVENING- APRIL 22, 1913- Eats Freely But Has No Dyspepsia Takes a mild laxative with good pepsin and insures com fort and pleasure. Fortunate is the one who can eat "anything" without suffering the tor tures of dyspepsia, but as few are so fortunate care should be taken in the matter of diet. Eating slowly,' masti cating the food thoroughly and taking a short walk after the heavy meal of the day will do much towards assisting digestion. Any grown-up person ought to know the peculiar foods that do not agree, and these should be avoided. When these common-sense aids fail, the next thing to do is to take a mild digestive tonic with laxative properties, and there is none better than Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. It contains the greatest of all aids to digestion, good pepsin. It has other ingredients that act mildly on the bowels, which to gether form a combination for the re lief of dyspepsia or indigestion that is unsurpassed. Its action is to tone and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles so that they can again do their work naturally without outside aid, and when that happy moment comes all medicine can be dispensed with. It is the best rem edy obtainable for any disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels, for dyspep ia, constipation, biliousness, head aches, drowsiness after eating, gas on the stomach, etc. Thouands of users will testify to this, among them Mrs. Oliver Toung, Merrill, Wis. She says: "After many years suffering from in digestion I have obtained what I be lieve to be permanent relief by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. I feel 10 years younger, my work seems easy,; MRS. OLIVER YOUNG. my breath is no longer bad and I eat what I want without distress." Syrup Pepsin is sure in its results, and a vast improvement over chewing or swallowing tablets and mints, or taking cathartics, salts, etc., all of which are harsh and nauseous and at best do but temporary good. You can obtain Syrup Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle. Results are always guaranteed or mon ey will be refunded. If no member of your family have ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it be fore buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your address a postal will do to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 417 Washington St., Monticelo, 111., and a free sample bottle will be mailed you- TO HARNESS WIND Believe Turbine Can Be Made to Fill Desired Results. Use It to Develop Power Possibilities Unlimited. Syracuse. Kan., April 22. A num ber of local business men and farm ers are endeavoring to devise a plan to harness the western Kansas wind for the production of power. They have computed that a ten-foot wind mill will develop four horsepower and a twelve-foot mill seven horsepower In a 40-mile wind. A twenty-foot mill in the same wind will, they say, pro duce 32.9 horsepower. Forty mile winds are regular in this section and they are looking for someone to in vent a wind turbire to harness them. They say the possibilities of such an invention are unlimited. Brings Beauty to Young .nd Old LINCOLN WANTS JUICE. .1 m i i I M HMUNiiai'Misiiw'if'ir.iiAiumw TV Jwha Till -'nil- hi i mi u i I ivm.

Xine-Year-Oltl Girl Shot Self and Died in Few Minutes. Merriam, Kan., April 22. Harriet Brotts, 9 years old. shot and killed herself with an old pistol which she thought was not loaded at her home here. "I'm not afraid to snap it.

Kansas City, April 22. Mrs. Susan C. House,83 years old, who taught the first school in old Wyandotte, died Sunday at her home in Kansas City, Kan. She was the widow of Francis House. Mrs. House, then Miss Collier, came west with her brother, David, from New York in the fifties. They landed at Kansas City from a steamboat which had brought them to what is now Kansas City. Mrs. House and her brother stopped at the old Harris house in Westport. While a boarder at the Harris house she witnessed the sale of a girl slave. The impression made on her caused her to determine to cross the line into Kansas, where the "free state battle" was then being waged. With her brother, she drove to old Wyandotte and obtained a posi tion as its first school teacher. Mrs. House was the first matron of Washburn college at Topeka. Progressive Citizens Ask for Current During Day. Lincoln, Kan., April 22. Provision for a day service from the electric light plant is the latest evidence of progress in Lincoln. The city coun cil Tuesday evening directed Superin tendent M. J. Rees to arrange for day service, and the day current will De turned on about May 1. This im provement is one for which Lincoln people may be grateful. Lack of a day current has been the chief dif ficulty In getting patronage for the electric light plant, particularly in business houses, where the lights when turned on about 6 o'clock as at present, are of practically no benefit. The day service will also make pos sible the installation of electric fans. the use of electric irons, the use of electric motors for power, etc. There was some discussion by the council of the rate to be charged for electric ity for power, and it is likely that a rate of about 10 cents will be made. TOURISTS TAKE TRAIL. Americans to See America First and West Preferred. Larned, Kan., April 22. Good roads enthusiasts along the New Santa Fe trail are expecting a greater number of tourists over the route this year than ever before. "More evident than ever is the In clination this spring on the part of American tourists to tour their own country instead of journeying over the well planned road systems of Europe," is some of the information received here recently from New York. Early inquiries from mem bers of the BOO A. A. A. clubs to the touring information at 437 Fifth ave nue, indicate that a greater number than ever will go into the Rocky mountain region, with a growing per centage seeking the Pacific coast.

Light Rains and Warm Weather Im prove Conditions. Syracuse, Kan., April 22. Pros pects for a good alfalfa crop were never better, according to reports from the rural districts. The recent light rains and warm weather have brought a rapid and healthy growth in the plant. The fields generally have a good color. Planting of spring crops has not started yet, but contin ued warm weather will send many farmers to their fields during the next ten days. (Medical News) The universal obiection to face oowder is solved by the use of a fine lotion easily made at home by dissolving 4 ounces or spurmax (which costs little at any drug store) in pint witch hazel (or hot water) with 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine added. This wonderful beautifier is very beneficial to the skin, because it prevents chapping, re moves that shiny, oily, sallow look and adds beauty to any complexion. It does not show or rub oft like powder but, when on, seems part of the skin and gives a wholesome, charming tone. Keep the scaip clean and beautiful hair will be the result. Shampoo with a tea spoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot water and dandruff, dust and ex cess oil disappear immediately and the hair will be ever so lustrous, fluffy and healthy and the head will feel good. Can throx acts as a natural tonic to the scalp and prevents falling hair and scalp-irritation. It is easy to use, costs little and can be obtained at any druggist's.
