Alien Land Bill May Be Passed Despite Objections. Washington, April 23. President Wilson today telegraphed Governor Hiram Johnson of California asking him whether the anti-alien legislation could be held up until Secretary of State Bryan could go to California personally to explain the position of the federal government and urge an adjustment of the controversy. The president's telegram was in re sponse to Governor Johnson's message of yesterday that California desired to co-operate with the federal govern ment to avoid international difficulties. It was as follows: "Governor Hiram Johnson, Sacra mento, Cal. "Thank vou for your patriotic tele- T-Jilndr trems tu! atin with regard to the sentiments and circumstances lying back of the pending proposition concerning the ownership of land in the state that I venture to inquire whether it would be agreeable to you and the legislature to have the secretary of state visit Sac ramento for the purpose of counseling with you and the members of the leg islature and co-operating with you and them in the framing of a law which would meet the views of the people of the state and yet leave untouched the international obligations of the United States. "WOODROW WILSON." The same telegram was duplicated to the president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly. At the White House it was felt that conflict ing advices over the situation made it practically necessary for a representa tive of the administration to explain the government's exact position In per son. There was no feeling, officials said, that the suggestion would not be wel come because Governor Johnson's tele gram of yesterday was regarded as ex pressing a desire for the fullest co operation between the state and the federal government. Representative Kettner, Democrat, of California, brought the president some telegrams indicating that while there Was a strong sentiment to drop the legisla tion entirely on account of the ap proaching exposition and the opening of the Panama canal, there neverthe less was also a formidable movement to put through the so-called discrimi nating legislation at this session. Move May Satisfy Japan. News of the president's suggestion to send Secretary Bryan soon spread throughout diplomatic circles. The opinion was freely expressed that the i president's course would satisfy Japan that the federal government was doing everything in its power. It is under stood although the Japanese ambassa dor has made no formal representa tion since a week ago when he entered protest against the legislation the atti tude of the Washington administra tion is regarded with satisfaction. Tokio, April 23. A resolution ad dressed to President Wilson and other influential persons in the United States urging them in the cause of good re lationship between Japan and the United States to oppose the passage of the California alien land ownership bill and other measures of a similar nature, was passed today at a con gress of the forty-five chambers of commerce of Japan. A copy of the resolution will be cabled to Washing ton. The speeches delivered during the gathering were of an emphatic character. Sacramento. April 23. Through the exchanges of telegrams between President Wilson and Governor John son, the settled policy of the California administration on the question of alien land ownership, as acreed upon last tunday, was officially made known. Governor Johnson and his nartv leaders in the senate favor a bill ex cluding from land ownership in the state all aliens ineligible to citizenship under the laws of the United States. Such a law probably will be passed, in Fpite of the objections from Washing ton. B The assertion is made by the gover nor that a state law of this nature would net be in contravention of anv existing treaty. He is upheld in this view by the majority leaders in the senate. The Democrats will seek to strike out the words "ineligible to citizen ship" in any bill considered and on this point the real fight on the meas ure will be waged. It is not expected tha the Thomp-son-Birdsall bill will be placed on file until Thursday and no action can be iairu uuui LxieiL lime. President Wils ns message called forth little comment.

Governor Johnson sent the following reply to President Wilson's message -"The President, Washington- "Immediately on receipt of vour telegram of this date it was transmit- t t houscs of ur legislature. .ay assure Jou that it is the desire of the majority of members of the legislature to do nothing in the matter of the alien land bill that will be embarrassing to our own govern ment or offensive to any one.

Roosevelt Into Squabble. Theodore Roosevelt, who swung the bie stick on the legislature in 1909 and thereby held back the antl-allen land bills then pending, has stepped into the new controversy, which has stirred the legislature on the same subject. In a telegram which Governor Hiram Johnson admitted he had re ceived from his former running mate on the presidential ticket, Colonel Roosevelt has, it Is reported, added his voice to the protests that are be ing made to the passage of an anti alien land bill now. What the colonel has advised and his reasons for opposing an anti-alien land bill In California are not known new, for Goveror Johnson has de clined to give out the contents of the telegram. "I have received hundreds of tele grams and letters on the pending anti alien land legislation, and one of the telegrams Is from Colonel Roosevelt," said Johnson tonight. Asked further as to the tenor of the Roosevelt communication. Gover nor Johnson said: "I can not say anything about It. If Colonel Roosevelt is willing to give out the telegram that is all right. You can take it up with him If you wish." LIKE BRYAN'S IDEA Senate Committee Approyes of Secretary's Peace Plan. All International Disputes Sub mitted to Commission. Washington, April 23. At the con clusion of a two-hour conference to day with the entire membership of the senate foreign relations committee, Secretary Bryan stated that the com mittee had given general aproval to his outline of a plan designed to bring about international peace. Secretary Bryan said the details of the plan would not be given out until he had talked them over with President Wil son. The basic idea of a proposed system of treaties, as Secretary Bryan out lined to the commitee today is that all international disputes be first submitted to a commission of inquiry and that the report of the commission be made public before the countries would be at liberty to proceed to war. The secretary will lay the plan be fore President Wilson as soon as pos sible and will perfect the details. The result of today's conference, it was said, assures a favorable reception to any international treaties that may be negotiated by the president and the secretary looking to the limitation of armaments and to international com missions of inquiry. Senator Chamberlain's resolution for the abrogation of the Isthmian canal treaties with Great Britain was referred to a subcommittee. Senator Mark Smith's resolution asking the president for a report on injuries to Americans and American property in Mexico was favorably re- ported. ROBBERS TO PRISON. Highwaymen Who Robbed Leaven worth Veterans Found Guilty. Leavenworth. April 23. Next Saturdav morning Joe Titolski and John "Snake" Workman will be sentenced by Judge Wendorff in the district court for their part In a holdup and robbery of a quar tette of members of the Soldiers' Home. Titolski, being found guilty of highway robbery in the first degree, is subject to a term in the state prison ranging from ten to twenty-one years. Workman, be cause of his youth, possibly will be sent to the state reformatory until he is 21, after which he may be transferred to Lansing. Henry Ellis, the third of the highwaymen, in all probability will be released, as it was shown conclusively that his participation in the crime was not with felonious intent. The verdict in the Titolski case was one of the quickest in the history of criminal procedure in Kansas. From the time the jury retired late yesterday afternoon un til the verdict of guilty was read just five minutes had elapsed. MAY MOVE SHOPS. Union Pacific Buys 30-Aere Tract at Williamstown, Lawrence, April 23. The Union Pacific railroad company has pur chased thirty acres of land adjoining the station at Williamstown, and it Is reported on high authority that the Union Pacific shops will be moved there from Armstrong. The deal for the purchase of the land was closed Monday, and the rec ord of the transfer will be made at Oskaloosa this wlr Thp fnin nflnv u tne ransfer wU1 be made at Oskaloosa this week. The company purchased 30 acres south of the c. from Steve Welter. It has long been known that the company contemplated moving the shops away from Armstrong for the two reasons that a high tax rate must be paid in Kansas City and the land is subject to inundation at a low flood stage.

Reason for War Against Tur key Is Carried Out. CAPTURE COST 8,000 MEN Turks Lost 5,000 and Montene grins Only 3,000. Peace Situation Is Complicated by Battle. Cettinje, April 23. After a final des perate attack lasting 24 hours, the Montenegrin troops forced their way into Scutari. The fortress for six months, since the middle of October, 1912, has offered a stubborn defense. The assault which gave the Mon tenegrins possession of the city which has been the object of their war against Turkey, began on Monday night. The Montenegrin army took the offensive along the entire front. They surprised the Ottoman defenders by pushing right up to the Turkish posi tions, where they engaged in bayonet fighting. The Ottoman soldiers made a number of counter attacks and tried with their utmost energy to drive the attacking force out of their works but they were finally compelled to fall back and leave their positions in the hands of the besiegers who received constant reinforcements. It was midnight last night when the Montenegrins obtained their footing in the fortress and detachments of the besiegers entered the city at 4 o'clock this morning. According to one report Essaad Pa sha, the Turkish commander-in-chief, recognized the uselessness of further resistance after the outlying key posi tion of Tarakosch had fallen. He is said then to have ordered his troops to cease defense of the fortress. An other report says that the Montenegrin commander-in-chief had been negotiat ing since Monday with Kssaad Pasha for the surrender of the place. Still another account says that the Turkish troops defended the city until the last. Although the Servian troops did not participate in the final attack, their artillery was used by the Mon enegrin gunners and it is said to this fact their success was largely due. The act t f capitulation was signed by the Turkish commander shortly after the Montenegrin troops had reached the center of the city. How the Powers View It. London, April 23. While the capture of Scutari by the Montenegrin troops is believed in European capitals to have complicated the situation created by the decision of the great powers to in clude Scutari in the future state of Albania the opposite view is held in Balkan circles. There the opinion prevails that the Montenegrins have accomplished the object they have aimed at since the beginning of the war, will find it more easy to accept the decision of the great powers and that the latter on the other hand will be more ready to grant her a rectification of her frontier which will satisfy her. The long defense of Scutari under Essaad Pasha was made by an army estimated at about 10,000 men who also had to guard the outlying stronghold of Tarakosch and other connecting works surrounding the city. This tey did so well that the Montenegrins could not make any impression until a few weeks ago until their Servian allies brought up a large number of heavy siege guns which soon reduced the fire of the Turkish artillery. The Montenegrins are said to have lost 3,000 killed and the Turks 5.000 killed during the siege. Nothine has yet been decided as to the continuance of the blockade of the Montenegrin coast which was insti tuted on account of the refusal of the Montenegrins to abandon the siege of Scutari at the order of the powers. Only a few days ago an ultimatum was sent to King Nicholas of Montenegro by the commander of the blockading fleet informing him that landing parties would be sent ashore unless the wishes of the powers were carried out. In the meantime the Montenegrin army was continuing its operations. Most of the civilian population remained in Scutari throughout the siege. The in habitants included about 27.000 Moham medans and 8,000 Christians. It was said at various times that the people of Scutari were in a condition of semi starvation, but it now appears t hat there were considerable quantities of grain and other stores within the city and that the people suffered most from lack of vegetables. City Is In Ruins. Vienna, April 23. The greater part of the city 'of Scutari :s'in ruins as a result of the six months bombard ment, according to dispatches received here today. Rome, April 23. The capture of Scutari by the Montenegrin troops has caused a great impression here. The success of the Montenegrins has com plicated the situation as Montenegro will undoubtedly refuse to evacuate th cltv. This will make coercive measures by the European powers I more difficult than when they only aimed at forcing Montenegro to aban don the siege. GOOD NIGHT-KEMP. Kansas Poet Chokes on Pie When He Hears of Sinclair's Marriage. New York. April 23. Upton Sinclair, self characterized "legal slave" and author of books and short stories .ar rived in this city last night accom panied by his second wife, whom he married at Fredericksburg, Va., Mon day night. The two "legal slaves" im mediately went into mcung ana rerus- ed to divulge their whereabouts to any of their -friends. It is expected that the two will immediately sail for Hol land, where the author of "The Jungle" and also of the statement that mar riage is "legalized slavery" has made his home. The announcement of the marriage of Sinclair to Miss Mary Craig Kim brough, was greeted with amazement by his former wife, Mrs. Meta .fuller Sinclair, whom he divorced last year. However she refused to make any com ment. Harry Kemp, the "boxcar'", poet, and former friend of Sinclaira, whose un conventional attentions paid to the first Mrs. Sinclair precipitated her trou bles with her husband, almost choked himself with a piece of pie as he heard the news. "What, Upton married again? It can't be. Who did he marry?" he shouted as he regained his compos ure. He said he had not received an invitation to the wedding of his fellow writer. "But wait until I see them." he continued indignantly. "I'll tell them what I think of their foolish behavior. But what do you think of it! Upton Sinclair married again. Good night!"

SHAKEUP ON WAY Reorganization of Railway Mail Service Planned. Burleson's Ideas Will Affect 17,500 Postal Clerks. Washington, April 23. Postmaster General Burleson, it is said, is con templating in the near future a general shakeup in the railway mail service and the heads of divisions in that branch of the postoffice department to day are nervously awaiting the depart mental earthquake. The change, it is intimated, will not affect the 17,500 railway postal clerks who travel over the various railroads throughout the country. Members of the congressional com mittees, having to do with the depart ment have recommended to the post master general the appointment of James T. Canfield of New York as general superintendent of the railway mail service to succeed Superintendent Theodore Ingalls. Mr. Canfield was a workuing mail clerk for a querater of a century and was recently president of the Railway Mail Clerks' associa tion. While Mr. Burleson has made no promises he is said to have intimated that he would undertake a sweeping change In the railway mail personnel "as soon as I could get around to it." Pressure of other matters has been so great, he said, that action has been de ferred. WAS NOT A MISTAKE. Kincaid Man Admits He Stole Cattle to Pay Debts. 101 Kansas City, April 23. There was a mistake somewhere. It couldn't be true that telegram Mrs. William E. Lochner received at her home in Kin caid, Kansas, yesterday afternoon. The message said her husband was under arrest in Kansas City on a charge of stealing cattle. Just a case of mis taken identity. She would run up to Kansas City and identify him. Mrs. Lochner met him in Captain Stone's 'office in the West Bottoms po lice station this morning. But it was a different meeting than the trusting wife anticipated. Lochner was sobbing in a chair by the window on Mulberry street. He could not even rise when she entered the room. She heard him say himself, "It's true, I admit all." Fandly Together Alone. A police officer who was in the room walked out and left the three of them alone Lonchner, the broken hearted wife and their daughter, Edith, 8 years old. Then it was that Lochner told his wife the story how debts had over whelmed him, how, in order to main tain his standing in Kincaid as a farm- er of means, he had mortgaged his property, borrowed money on his farm and stock, how notes were coming due, and, that he might meet them, he stole 101 head of cattle from a ranch in east ern Colorad6. When Captain Stone entered the room the trio was sobbing, but Mrs. Lochner told the officer that she was going to stick by her husband to the finish. POPE IS IMPROVING. Took Few Steps In His Bedroom This Morning. Rome. April 23. -Pope Pius con tinues to make satisfactory progress in his convalescence. He rose from bed at half past 10 this morning and was allowed by the physicians to walk a few steps in his bedroom. His tem perature was 97. He suffered less from prostration and his strength had improved although his cough per-sisted- DEBATEJN TARIFF First Heal Test In Congress Is Made Today. Democrats HaTe Battle Array for Revision Opening. BRISTOW AN ENEMY OF BILL Kansan to Stand Out Against a Feature of Schedule. Senator LaFollette Has an Ex pert Preparing Substitutes. Washington, April 23. The tariff de bate was begun today in the house Many members of all three parties. Democrat, Republican and Progressive had indicated a desire to make short speeches and Chairman Underwood, of the ways and means committee, and the Democrat leader had marshalled an array for the opening of the fight for revision. Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, to whom Speaker Clark has referred to as one of the best parliamentarians in the house, will preside throughout the debate while the bill is technically before the house as a committee of the whole house. Mr. Underwood re iterated today his view that five days of general debate and a week more for the reading of the bill with the privi lege of five minute speeches to each member would be sufficient in the house. Representatives Payne, Moore and Fordney will make the principal speech es for the minority of the ways and means committee, the former favor ing Republican substitutes for the woolen and cotton schedules and the other two making a fight against the bill as a whole. "Will you hazard a guess as to when the tariff bill is likely to become a law?" Representative Underwood was asked today. "Oh, no," he replied. "It's impossi ble for any man to guess that accur ately now." Party conferences over the tariff were resumed at the senate end of the capi tol to day. Democrat members of the finance committee met with a number of Dem ocrat senators from western states who object to the abolition of all tariff from wool and sugar. Republican members of the committee spent the day at work over the bill. The canvass of the senate by Demo cratic Leader Kern, Chairman Sim mons, of the finance committee and others, has convinced Democrat lead ers that the tariff bill can be passed through the senate without change when the finance committee finally de termines upon its form. Republican ranks are not united upon the meas ure however. Senator LaFollette, Bris tow, Cummins and others are working upon the particular features of the law and are not expected to support the view of the Republican leaders upon all points. Senator LaFollette has been authorized to employ an ex pert to assist him in preparation of substitutes for many schedules of the bill he will offer on the floor of the senate when the measure comes up. NONE WANTS HER Only Sweat Shops Open to For eign Girls. Pathetic Appeal From Cotton Industry President. Boston, April 23. "Mary Konov sky's wage," which has figured re cently in published discussions of in dustrial conditions, was the subject of an address today by President Edwin F. Green, at the opening of the an nual meeting of the National Associ ation of Cotton Manufacturers. The fictitious name of Mary Konovsky has been given to a Russian-Polish girl 22 years old, who was employed in a textile mill at Little Falls at $6 a week and struck for $6.90. The testimony of Mary Konovsky before the commissioner of arbitra tion has been published throughout the country, Mr. Green said. "In consequence, thousands of kind hearted people have grieved over the pitiable condition of this poor Polander. "I would like to say a few words directly to these sympathetic people. Mary Konovsky stands before the commission. She is a poor human creature, born and bred in poverty and misery, uneducated, untrained, stolid, stupid, but possessed of an im mortal soul and eager for the better ment of her condition. She wants $6.90 a week and will be satisfied with that amount. Her former em ployer, a manufacturer who has a large factory representing an invest ment exceeding a million dollars, who is the agent of the stockholders of his company, all of whom demand that he run this factory at a profit, says outspokenly: 'I will pay Mary Konovsky $6 a week and this is more than she is worth. She has no industrial training. I want trained, educated girls if I can get them.' "You have heard the despised em ployer, kind ladies and gentlemen. The services of Mary Konovsky are for sale. He bids $6 a week. What will you bid? You, mistress housewife, with tender eyes, will you pay more than $6 a week: 'No,' you say. 'She cannot speak English. She knows nothing of the mechanism of a modern kitchen. I don't want her.' "You Mr. Storekeeper, what will you give? You could not use her ser vices. She is unprepossessing and un couth? "All the rest of yon doctors, lawyers, clergymen, politicians, educators, what will you bid for the services of Mary Konovsky? She wants only $6.90 a week. For God's sake gentlemen, don't let the cruel mill get her again. Take her into your homes, into your offices into your studio, give her a chance in the world. You all cry to gether, 'We don't want her. We have no use for her, but make that mill man pay her a living wage,' The cotton mills and woolen mills in this country are the training schools for hundreds of thousands of work people transforming them from ignor ant and clumsy foreigners into skilled, self respecting educated Americans. Mr. Green said the business of the cotton mills on the whole was poor. BEFOREJHE MAST In Sentencing Suffs Justice Recommends Sailing Ship. Two Prominent Society Women On to Prison. Manchester, April 23. In sentencing two militant suffragettes today Justice Sir John Eldon Bankes said: "I would send you round the world in a sailing ship if the law permitted it." The women, Mrs. Forrester and Miss Manesta, both socially prominent, were brought up for trial on the charge of entering the Manchester art srallery and smashing the glass of 13 famous pictures. The judge urged the necessity of a new and drastic legal cure for suf fragette militancy, and then sentenced the worn n to Jail for three months and one month respectively. They will have to serve additional terms of six months unless they give bond for their good behavior on leaving jail. FIRE ALL FACULTY Reported New State Board Will Reorganize K. U. Instructors Must Pass Rigid Quiz on Appointment. Lawrence, Kan., April 23. Dis quieting rumors continue to arrive from the haunts of the new adminis trative board which has succeeded the old boards of regents in the control of affairs of the state educational insti tutions. The latest information which has arrived here has created- almost a panic among the faculty of the uni versity. It is stated that the board at some recent meeting has declared vacant all places on the university faculty. The rumor further says that the board plans a careful examination of the present faculty after which it will proceed to rename such persons as pass the investigation, and that those who are left out may simply consider themselves as "fired." There is no confirmation of this ru mor, but nevertheless it has created quite a stir ori the hill, where it is be ing anxiously discussed by faculty memDers. .Many faculty men are said to be so much concerned as to be looking for other positions. The feel ing of uncertainty is causing them to prepare to leave if an opportunity of fers itself. Many men have left the university this year because of better positions open to them and it under stood that this latest reported action of the new board is causing many oth ers to seek new places. The rumor further says that Chan cellor Strong has been named by the board to continue as the head of the school, but that no other of the va cancies have been filled as yet. There is no knowledge as to when this action will be taken. GOLD WEATHER COMING Weather Man Looks for Decided Drop Tonight. Rain and a drop in temperature came togther today.

Sentenced to Prison From Ot tawa County for Murder. HE NEVER SERVED A DAY Broke Jail and Joined United States Xavy. Story Reads Like a Page of Romance For the murder of George Allen Wil son In Ottawa county 21 years ago. -Volley L. Smith was today pardoned by Governor Hodges without having served a single hour in state prison. Following his conviction by a Populist jury in 1892 and the subsequent affirma tion of his case by the state supreme court. Smith "escaped" from the little county jail in Minneapolis, joined the navy and has since lived on the high seas. Volley L. Smith of Minneapolis. Par doned for Muraer committed Zl Years Ago and for Which He Has Never Served an hour In Prison. There are few cases in Kansas his tory which relate so vividly the char acteristic Impulses and partisanship of the Populist leaders of 20 years ago. In addition to that Smith is perhaps the only person ever convicted of mur der in Kansas for the plain, simple purpose of upholding the integrity of a political party. Now the man's rec ord has received its official whitewash and he is subject to promotion in rec ognition of the 20 years of faithful service in Uncle Sam's navy. Smith was a mere boy 17 years old at the time he was convicted of kill ing Wilson. The murdered man was much older than Smith and the two had quarreled regarding some insult ing remark that someone was supposed to have made concerning the character of a Minneapolis girl. Wilson, at least, posed as the offended party and de manded an apology from young Smith's lips. So that was the situation when Wilson sent word to Smith that he would meet the boy at a certain rest aurant where Smith boarded. Before Smith came, Wilson informed the keep er of the eating house that he was just about to lose one of his cus tomers. Someone told Smith about the remark. It was Sunday afternoon, January 24, but Smith found an open hardware store and bought some new ammunition for his revolver. Then he went to the restaurant. There seems to have been a pile of trouble stored up for the Minneapolis boy as he entered the restaurant. Be cause the lad made a remark that didn't please the wife of the lunch house proprietor, the woman took the liberty of slapping Smith's face. Then (Continued on Page Two.i

Santa Fe and Rock Island at "Outs" In Kansas. Fight to Captnre Easiness in Southwestern Section. I ANOTHER BRANCH .PLANNED Rock Island 3Iaj Jluild West From Liberal. Reported Agreement Between Two Roads Broken, It is rumored in Topeka tSLilwaijc cir cles that the move of the-Santa Fe in building the new Colmor cutoff through the "railroadlpss it-punties. the big broomcorn section of Kansas, may yet be checkmated; J i Reports are extant that it is prob able the Rock' Island will retaliate by building a branch line .from Liberal, on the main line, through Stevens and Morton counties to Trinidad, Colo. The Rock Island has been seeking anoth er coal road into the Colorado fields for a long time and now that the Santa Fe has gobbled a large part of the southwestern Kansas broomcorn traffic- it is seeking to get it back. The heavy tonnage of broomcorn ship ments, formerly routed over the Rock Island from Liberal, now go over the SSanta Fe from Hugoton, Satanta and Sublette via Dodge City. The new branch of the Rock Island would go through Hugoton and Richfield and the present railroadless counties of Colorado. May Save a .Town. If the new line is built it will save Richfield from the singular fate of Santa Fe, which now contains but two or three buildings besides .the; Haskell county courthouse. The new Colmor cutoff misses Richfield 18 miles and the citizens are already planning to move the town bodily to Rolla, on the new road, in the same manner the citizens of Santa Fe moved to Sublette and Satanta. It would also make Liberal a more important railroad cen ter and give Hugoton two roads and an assured future. It Is stated in railroad circles that the Santa Fe and Rock Island several years ago entered into an agreement not to invade each other's territory in southwest Kansas. But the Santa Fe has been gradually grabbing small lines of road here and there and en croaching on its competitor's terri tory. Last year, under the guise of the necessity of a cutoff to the coast, it started the famous Colmor cutoff but stopped within two hundred miles of Colmor, X. M., when it had completely invaded the Rock Island's territory. It is plain that if such an agreement existed it has been broken and it is said that the only contingency re garding the building of the new Rock Island line is the re-election of the present board of -directors in June. Should they be re-elected railroad men feel sure the Une will toe built at once, with a line.rom Pratt 'to Wichi ta as the next move to checkmate the Santa Fe's aggressive policy. WOMEN SEE SIGHTS.

When the town of Blaine was settled in the middle seventies. Mr. Downey ran a store there for a great number of years. He afterward sold the store and moved to a farm between Westmoreland and Wamego. where he lived until a few months ago, when he went to Kansas City. Mr. Downev was a member of the A. O. U.

New Tork, April 23. "If a con gressional investigation committee is appointed to look into the affairs of organized baseball," W. H. Locke, the new president of the Philadelphia Na tional League said,- "the interesting fact will be made public that 60 per cent of the major league clubs and 75 per cent of the minors lost money last season. This was due to the high sal aries paid to the players and the heavy traveling expenses, coupled with the big money spent In rebuilding ball parks. "The major leagues have contracted to pay -nearly $1,000,000 in salaries this season. Under the provisions of the national agreement the players must receive every dollar, no matter how much the clubs may lose. Each, club stands on its-own bottom. There is no syndicate ownership and neither the National or American League is incorporated. "As for the socalled reserve rule, professional baseball would become chaotic without it. It prevents the clubs in the larger cities from entic ing away valuable players from the smaller clubs. If the clubs should outbid one another for stars every year, it would not be long before New York and Chicago would control the best men in the market. I will ven ture to say that more than 90 per cent of the major league players of today are well satisfied with existing con ditions and would oppose any attempt to wreck the foundations of organized baseball. I hope that congress will turn on the searchlight to show that the cry against organized baseball is unwarranted. AFTER 21 YEARS. (Continued from Page One.l Wilson choked Smith and bumped his head against the wall. Badly frighten ed, the boy tried to escape. But some one had locked the door. Then a by stander held Smith while Wilson re newed his threats. It was then that Smith drew his gun and fired. Wilson was killed instantly. Populists Were Jurors. The killing attracted much atten tion in Ottawa county and the Minne apolis courthouse was crowded when the case was called for trial.- Some of Smith's friends, who believed the boy was not guilty of crime, sent to east ern Kansas and employed a couple of Well known criminal lawyers to con duct the defense. On the other hand the commissioners of Ottawa county sent to Salina and secured R. A. Lov ett to assist County Attorney K. A. Halderman with the prosecution. Halderman had been elected county attorney of Ottawa county on the crest of the Populist wave in Kansas. He wasn't elected because he was a real, sure enough lawyer; but because ev eryone had confidence in the man's integrity and he was a first class cam paigner. Further than this, the trained judiciary and members of the bar were not in high standing with the-Populists just at that time. With the trial of the Smith case ajid hand. Halderman realized that something must be done. He knew that the men conducting the defense were shrewd, clever lawyers and he feared the worst. But Halderman's natural cunning won. He succeeded in packing the jury with reliable Popu lists, who hung fervently on the coun ty attorney's remarks and promptly re turned a verdict 'of second degree mur der. Smith was convicted March 3, 1892. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison. The case went to the su preme court, but that tribunal af firmed the decision of the lower court. How Did Smith Get Out? It was just a few days after the de cision came down from tho supreme court that the Minneapolis Jailer an nounced one morning that his boy murder prisoner was missing. No one has explained fully just how Smith escaped. No one seemed to make a very diligent effort to return the boy to jail. County Attorney Hal derman was perfectly satisfied with the result of the trial. His record as a trial lawyer had been vindicated and whitewashed and varnished hy that Populist jury and bosulns, Hal derman was not retained by the coun ty to personally chase criminals. Stor ies' of the case, as they drift down from twenty years r.go, also incice.te that perhaps the sheriff himself a Populist was also a bit timid in pur- TT7T, M You Are in Kansas City Make This Store Your Down-Town Headquarters Use the Many Conveniences at Your Will suing the slayer 06 Wilson: Then -the county gradually grew to forget tthe case. J One day Smith's mother learned that her son had -joined the navy. He made a good record on the ocean and won a couple of minor promotional in Uncle Sam's service. Somehow people in Minneapolis learned these' things and they began to take a kindly in terest in the lad whose conviction they now declared, had been a bit hasty. One day the old Populist sheriff said he thought Smith ought to be pardon ed. He was talking to Halderman who prosecuted the case. Halderman said he thought so, too. Only five of the 12 Jurors who heard the evi dence were living. But they promptly signed the- petition for pardon and wrote personal letters about the case. The Populist wave had gone out of business and the public sentiment which once demanded the 17-year-old boy's life, now changed to an evi dence of general sympathy. Halderman Fought for Pardon. To Smith's mother, now living in a utile town in Oklahoma, the news of her son's pardon will come as a pleas ant surprise. Halderman, the man who caused Smith's conviction, is the person to whom is due the credit for the pardon. One day, 15 years af ter the trial, Halderman met Mrs. Smith in Oklahoma. There were tears in the woman's eyes as she talked to the former prosecutor, but she did not ask the man to intercede for executive clemency for her son. "Right, then, though," Halderman told Governor Hodges, "I decided to do what I could to set the matter right. I never told her my purpose. In fact she doesn't know that I am here now But I decided to get that pardon if it took ten years. He ought never to have been cbnvicted." Told His Story to Hodges. Then Halderman related to the governor the fact that as prosecuting attorney he succeeded in keeping from the records certain evidence which if admitted would have probably resulted in Smith's ac quittal. For two days Halderman has camped In the governor's office. He was on the job when the office opened in the morning and stayed until the last clerk went home at night. Halderman, desir ing to set right the conviction which he won as justification for his election by the Populists, succeeded in convincing Gov ernor Hodges that Smith was entitled to an absolute pardon." He showed that no real effort was ever made by the officers to rearrest Smith after his rather strange "escape" from jail and produced petitions signed by practically every man who held county office in Ottawa county at the time of the trial and letters and petitions from scores of men and women who heard the evidence in the case. This afternoon, with Smith's pardon tucked away in an inside coat pocket, Halderman left for Oklahoma to find the boy's mother. He will deliver the pardon to the woman in person, as a final evi dence of his effort to set right the mis carriage of Justice of 21 years ago. CHILD TO MOTHER. Parent Faints as She Recognizes Long Liost Boy. Columubs, Miss., April 23. A boy ta ken from itinerant peddler here sev eral days ago suspected of being 4-year-old Robert Dunbar, missing from his home in Opelousas, La., since last August, was today identified by Mrs. C. P. Dunbar, the child's mother. Mr. Dunbar yesterday identified the child as his son. Fearing that announcement of the identification .of the child by its mother might lead to an "attempt to lynch "W. C. Walters, the peddler, in whose hands'- the' child was found, a strong guard 'wis placed around the jail where Walters is elng held this afternoon. 'A pathetic scene was enact ed when the little long missing child recognized its mother. "Mother," he cried as he reached up and stretched out his arms toward her. The mother convulsively embraced the boy and then fainted. Owing to the child's unkempt condition and changes caused by exposture, the fath er awaited the arrival of Mrs. Dunbar before making a complete identification. A ceaseless search has been kept up for the missing bey and thousands of dollars have been expended in run ning down clews in widely separately parts of the country. r ROOM FOR MORE HEROES Only 13 of 21 Republics Send Statues to Washington Building. Washington, April 23. Only thirteen of the twenty-one republics on the Western hemisphere which form the Pan-Ameri can union have raised statues of their national heroes in the magnificent marble building here devoted to advancing the interests of Pan-Americanism.

Bolivar, who achieved the independence or coiomoia, reru ana Bo livia, as well as of Venezuela, is the rep resentative of the last named country. Monuments to him stand also in the capi tals of Venezuela, Peru and Colombia. San Martin, father of Argentine inde pendence, is that country's hero. Brazil has the priest-hero, Bonifacio; Mexico, its two-time president, Benito Juarez; Cuba, Marti; Honduras, Morasan; Costa Rica, Mora: Panama, Hen-era. and Haiti, Lessalines. Uruguay has chosen Artigas; Guatemala, Barrios, and the Dominion republic, Duarte, although these three statues are not yet made.

New York Stock Market. Wall St., New York, April 23.-STOCKS Curtailment of buying power, owing to reduction of the short interest caused the market to waver for a time but as little evidence of effective pressure appeared operations on the long side were begun later on a moderate scale. Developments at Washington in connection with the California alien bil, tariff readjustment and proposals for currency legislation were awaiting and pending further in formation traders did not desire to com mit themselves heavily. Talk of a reduction in the New Haven dividend and the attack on the company's management during the Boston hearing led to further selling of the stock, which droppeod to the lowest point on record since the formation of the present sys tem. Bonds were irregular. The tendency of the stock market was downward when trading was begun today. Reading and Amalgamated opened frac tionally higher but soon relapsed below yesterday's close. The rest of the active list opened at fractional recessions. New Haven again displayed marked heaviness. It opened at 111 and on the next few sales fell to 109, a loss of 2, and a new low record. Convincing testimonyy of the subsidence of speculative interest was furnished by the average total of transactions for the first hour, which is usually the most ac tive period of the session. Sales aggre gated less than 37,000 shares, with the mulk of fluctuations within a range of of a point. New Haven met some support and the general market also became steadier after the opening pressure had been relieved. New York Suga-- Market. New York, April 23.

Tli Antelopes met their first defeat co..r. at tho hands, or bats, of th Kaivs Tuesdav afternoon i ne final score was 15 to 8 and was all that Oi score indicates. Tom Tuckey. a southpaw and one of th- old pitchers nt thn team and a enod one was the "coat." and the way the locals batted him can hardly be explained. Coere ham was on the mound for the locals lie was unsteady at the beginning and appeared to be du for an awful drub bing. The locals landed on Tuckey in he thirr" inning and cot ten runs off eight hits. Xeither tram fielded up to the jamb They appenred to have plenty of life and never shirked but the battors were hitting them too hard. French had a bad day at short and the rest of the team got away in fairly good shape. Mullen at first for the visitors had an off day and the only thing that pre vented a larger score was the work of the outfielders. The visitors started after Cochre ham in the second inning. McCormick led off and hit over the left field fence for a home run. Cole followed and drew transportation. Barbour was out on an infield play and Cole scored on Powling's single to center. Lloyd led off in the third and hit for three bases and scored on Mullen's single. The locals did the work that eventu Blly landed the game in the last half of "this inning.

Gear came up for the second time and hit a home run over the left field fence. Forsythe ended the inning by going out from Harbour to Mullen. A wild pitch, with French and Dulin on bases added to the misery of the inning and the lo ials pulled up in the ten hole. This Is probably the league record. The visitors attempted to overtake the Kaws in the fifth inning. A bad decision by Umpire i-Mgler allowed four runs. Lloyd led off and hit to French. The latter picked the ball off his; shoe laces but the umpire thought it hit the ground and called the runner lufi Mullen followed with a single to left.

Alumni Want Turkey Day Contest in K. G. M. U. Also in Fayor of It Ref. erendum Vote Is Taken. Lawrence, Kan., April 23. "Back to Kansas City with the annual Missouri-Kansas football game." This is to be the slogan of a strong force of Kansas university alumni which is preparing for a united effort to have the annual game played in Kansas City in the future as it was up until two years ago. A referendum vote is being taken and the results indicate that there is a strong sentiment in favor of re turning the game to Kansas City where it was played for so many years. Ninety per cent, of the former stu dents who have been heard from thus far are said to have expressed an opin ion in favor of the change back to Kansas City. These votes are said to come from all parts of the country from former students who still are very much interested in their alrrfa mater. Missouri is said to-be promising aid in this movement. It is said that Mis souri university students, alumni. players, coaches and even the curators are in favor of changing the game back to Kansas City and abolishing the present ruling. The change was made three years ago and the first game away from Kansas City was played in Columbia, Mo., in 1911. The attendance was a great disappointment. Lawrence had the game last fall. The crowd was larger ar.d the day will long be re membered in Lawrence as one of the biggest in the town's history. But stil! it was not the same as when the game was played in Kansas City and there has been much argument heard in favor of the change ever since that eventful day.

Pittsburg Stdents Criticise Superin tendent's Decisions. Parsons, Kan., April 23. All athletics, including the annual track meet which has been held each spring for several years, have been put under the ban in the Parsons high school for the re mainder of the year. The sweeping order of Superintendent Plnet followed a game between the high schools of Cherryvale and Parsons in which the principal of the local high school acted as umpire. Some of the teacher's decisions were harshly criti cised, and two of the local students have been disoualified from nartiei pating in athletics until further notice because of their remarks to the teach- er-umpire. The board of education recently voted money to add considerable equipment to the high school gymnasium and to hire an athletic director for the com ing year. CARL MORRIS WON FIGHT. Oklahonian Knocked Out Belmont In Third Round. St. Louis, April 23. Carl Morris, Oklahoma heavyweight, knocked out Kingdon Belmont of St. Louis in the third round of their scheduled eight round fight here last night. The local fighter gave the Sapulpa 'white hope" little trouble and was j floored in the first round for a count of nine. In the second round Morris floored his man twice and in the third round Belmont went down three times before he was counted out. The knockout was not clean one, the St. Louis boxer resting on his hands and knees until ten had been counted. Maple Hill 7; McFarland 2. McFarland. Kan., April 23.

The Kan's infield and pitching staff will be strengthened with the addi tion of a new second base player. His name is Smith and he comes from the Austin team of the Texas League. He will relieve Cochran, who will take his regular turn as a pitcher. This announcement was made yes terday by Manager. Gear and Smith is expected to report today. He is said to be an excellent infielder. He played 142 games at the keystone sack last year and has a fielding average of .958. He was fourth on the circuit. His batting average was .229. Cochran will be groomed and worked as a regular pitcher. He will I strengthen the pitching staff. Ollom, Snapp and McCollough will be left at home when the team leaves tonight for Hutchinson. Cochran will fill in as utility man on the trip if one is need ed. Ollom's ankle will not permit him to play and McCollough may join the team in Lincoln. It is probable that Rustenhaven will be saved to pitch the opening game in Denver Friday. Richardson or Fullerton win work this afternoon. The local management has been of fered a large number of players but none so far that suits them. They will begin a search for pitchers in the near future if the present staff fail to improve. WONT FIGHT FOR COBB. Baseball Players' Fraternity Will Act Only as meaiaior. Xew York, April 23. The baseball, players' fraternity will take no action in the controversy between Ty Cobb and the Detroit club unless requested to do so by the parties, and, then only as mediators. David L. Fultz, president of the fra ternity, asserted that he regarded the matter as purely a business transac tion between Cobb and Navin, and that it was silly to attack the fraterni ty for not settling it. "We have pledged the organization to have every reasonable object of the players'- contract lived up to by both contracting parties," reads Mr. Fultz's statement, "and we shall do all within our power to see that contract with the player is not loiaxeo. But en rnrrinir a contract alter made is a very different matter from attempting to dictate to others what the terms of their contract shall be. "This whole affair is a private mat ter between Cobb and Mr. Navin. There are no legal obligations resting on either purty. "Cobb has a right to value his serv ices at $15,000 or $150,000 as he chooses, and Mr. Navin has a right to pay it or not, just as he sees fit. "Should Mr. Navin and Cobb desire the offices of the fraternity in the set tlement of the differences, we should be very glad to do what we could, but any attempt to bring pressure to bear on eltner party wouiu nui oiiiy ue a. violation of our bylaws, but would 'be contrary to the fundamental purposes of the organization."

WAGGENER BUYS PARK. Balie Will Make Improvements Benefit Atchison People. Atchison, Kan., v April 23. B. P. Waggener Tuesday purchased three and a half acres adjoining the State Orphans home road north of Atchi son, which he will fix up as a park for people of that part of the eity. It is believed he will later present the park to the city. and Balance of Week Remarkable and Ever Has and excellent assortments Manager Mullen of Lincoln picks Omaha to be a dangerous contender this season. In speaking of the team he said that all that the team needed when they began training, was another pitcher. Rourke bought Peters of the White Sox and now Mullen thinks he will cop the bunting. Fans all over the circuit have been unable to understand why Wichita sold Tommy Mee. and kept Rapp on third base. Those who have seen the team contend that Rapp is not as good in any department of the game nor as aggressive as Tommy Mee. President McGill of the Denver team made a statement while in Topeka that he had neven been in Wichita. When asked if he would go there with the team he said: "No, never."' Fyke Johnson, correspondent of the J Rocky Mountain News, who was on the training trip with the Grizzlies, picks Denver, Omaha, Lincoln and St. Joseph to finish in the first division. He say's further that Topeka,- Wichita and Des Moines will be the weakest teams. Maybe Pyke knows what he is talking about and maybe he doesn't. Manager Dale Gear has announced that ladies will be admitted free to baseball games played Mondays and Friday, excepting holidays. As Labor Day is the only holiday the Kaws get at home, and on the first Monday in September, the fair sex will lose but one free day. Jerry Downs, with Indianapolis Is trying another come back stunt. He has been in the majors two times but drifted back and now he Is working hard in an effort to get up again next season. He is breaking the boards on the. fences of the American Association circuit. It was the sorrel top who started the Kansas City Bines on their losing streak. He is known over the A. A. circuit as the "Famous Topeka Sunflower."- Dulin is the first man to be benched this season while playing on the local ler's decision on French s play off grounds. He objected to Umpire Sig- Lloyd s bat and was sent to tne ciud house. French caught the ball oft his shoe laces but the umpire thought he picked it off the ground. French did not try to throw to first and the bat ter was allowed a hit. The weather was not conducive to good -pitchng. A stiff wind was blowing from the south and the pitchers could not control their curves or even throw their straight fast ball just where they wanted it. This accounts for the heavy hitting of both teams. The Kaws will lease after the game today and will toe gone ten days. They will stop at Hutchinson Thursday and play the Eagles team and will then go to Denver, Lincoln and Wichita for three each before returning home. They will play five three game series when they return home from this trip. Lincoln News: Our chief regret as a result of the opening day game concerns the defeat of the Topeka Kaws by the Denver Grizzlies and Chesty Hendricks.- Dale Gear had devoted the entire winter to build- j ing up the Kawa and planning for a Alterations done free: Perfect fit guaranteed. Coat Sa le Occured of beautiful tailored tronger ball club. The fans have been sticking and they turned out numerously for the season's inaugural. In consequence of which it would have been most appropriate had the Kaws taken the Grizzlies to a clean ing. The team is not weakened any wltn Gear in left field in the place cf Lee and with a left hand pitcher working. Lee can't hit a left handed pitcher any better than Gear can hit a right handed pitcher. Gear can hit a left handed -pitcher qnite often, as the box scores will indicate. Rourke park has a private box for the official scorer. It Is completely aloof from the hoi pollol of the sport writers fraternity and Grandpa Gris wold graces it like a king upon his throne. Emory Olson of Savonburg has been given his ten dayi notice by the management of the St. Louis Browns. His fielding is still of the classy kind, but he is not strong enough to play nine innings every day, in the opinion of the Brown management. Olson was the most promising ball player ever developed in Kansas. He played on the pennant winning team of the American Association in 1909. Shortly after the close of the season he developed symptoms of acute mel ancholia. His trouble was attributed to the strain on his mental faculties entailed -during the championship race. Cincinnati Commercial Tribuno: "Manager Tinker is getting more and more pleased with the labor of Whoop Whoop Johnson, the pitcher secured from St. Joseph. This bronze-colored Winnebago is ef the Jeffries or giant build and if his pitching wing ever falters he can wreak a living Juggling, baby grands. He is possessed of early English legs, a chest like a cask, and long and knotted arms that swing as freely from his shoulders as the wicker doors of a fusil oil dispensary. His spitter Is one of the most deceptive ever uncorked at the local grounds, and wonderful to relate, the big chief so far seems to be able to make It come and eat right out 6f his palm." St. Joe News-Press: Frank Isbell lost three more hairs by actual count as a result of the first two games. The world knows that Frank hasn't any too much to spare. What will -he look like when the season closes? Let's sing that touching little ditty, entitled. "Like a hard boiled egg needs whiskers." The Denver Chamber of Commerce has designated Friday, April 25, as Baseball Cay for its weekly luncheon In honor of the opening of the base ball season in Denver on that date. Owner Jack Hendricks and the mem bers of his team will be the guests of the chamber on that day at the lunch eon at the Albany hotel. Following fhe spread there will be a street parade preceding the con test between the Grizzlies and the To peka team.

L The State Journal Is a member of the 'Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report or tnat jrs.i ranlzatlon for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for. this sole pur- osa. As a usual thing, make a hit. a knock doesn't Don't forget that the postponed game now probably means a double-header In July or August. New York Is planning to erect a round court house, probably as a re buke to the cubists. As an outdoor exercise in spring, digging bait easily holds its populari ty Over beating carpets. Naturally if all the mills move away from Paterson. N. J., there'll be no work for the anarchists to avoid. At least the Ohio flood spared the country one calamity. It didn't ruin the Delaware peach crop again. We assums that Secretary Bryan agrees that it's only the first grand child that makes a man feel aged. Even though the silk hat was in troduced as long ago as 100 years, some of us can still plead "not guilty." Now that they are building ships of re-enforced concrete, perhaps the United States can get into the game. Possibly Mr. Bruecker is delaying his dirigible balloon trip across the Atlantic until he can sign a suitable cat. King Alfonso missed his calling. He should have been a baseball umpire. Is'obody could have hit him with a pop bottle. It Is not intended as any reflection on the suffragettes when we say that those in the British jails are leading a fast life. At that, it is probably easier to keep the gilt decorations on hotel ta bleware than to keep the tableware In the hotel. An advance of $5 a foot is announced in the price of show snakes. But an advance In the price of the barroom kind would be better. It certainly would have surprised that Louisiana woman who shot her husband if she had been lynched in stead of married again. The Seattle court s decision that a suicide agreement made with .one's 6-year-old child is not binding on the child will hardly be reversed... There is -only one way, In which Louisiana can show that it is in earnest about the tariff on sugar. And that is to vote the Republican ticket. Government by the people has tak en another step in advance. In South Dakota, saloon keepers are elected by popular vote. Now for the recall. Those who complain of high prices might get a pointer from China, "where eggs are three cents a dozen, but thou rand are unable to buy them because they have no Jobs. Los Angeles has abandoned its muni cipal newspaper. But at least it was useful to cover pantry shelves, which ia more than can be said for the Con gressional Record. The-latest development in Australian state enterprises is a move by the min ister for education to buy out a fac tory and manufacture all the furniture required for the schools of New South Wales. It Is said that the initial cost will be about $45,000. and that the de partment will effect a saving of roughly $15,000 a year. Here In Kan sas we w-lll try publishing the school books first. The news coming from Hutchinson is to the effect that the stockholders in the fair association at that place have succeeded in unloading their burden onto the people of Reno county, the people having voted bonds to the amount of $60,000 for that purpose. Now that it is all over and no harm can be done, the Hutchinson newspapers, in the interest of fair ness and truth, should correct the silly stories they published" during the campaign to the effect that Topeka and Wichita had paid agents in the county fighting the bonds. Neither city is throwing away its money. Probably nobody outside of Reno county believes that there will ever be a tate fair at Hutchinson. 1 CITIES IX BUSINESS. The Massachusetts house of repre sentatives by a vote of 211 to 13 has agreed on an amendment to the con stitution of the state authorizing the legislature to allow cities and towns to purchase and sell to their Inhabi tants the necessaries of life. If the amendment shall be adopted the ques tion naturally will arise, what are the necessaries of life? That will be de cided in time, by the courts. The Socialists, like most reformers, do not win many offices, but they are fixing their imprint on legislation more and more as time goes on. The public no longer shies at the name. Socialistic legislation when enacted by the Socialists themselves might be ob jectionable but when ei.acted by Re publicans and Democrats it Is all right. A rose by any other name, etc. After all. the main point is that the people are likely to be the gainers. In Europe, where the Socialists are much stronger than they are In this country, the cities are far ahead of ours in the matter of supplying the public needs through the municipali ties. In addition to operating what are known as public utilities they build tenements and lodging houses for the poor and rent them at cost. Some have also established public laundries and abattoirs. Probably there is little ordinary done by private Interests that could not be done as well and more cheaply by the municipality. A WAT TO LOWER PRICES. A method of Increasing the meat supply and reducing the cost is sug gested by the Stock Yards Nugget pub lished at Kansas City. It is to quit eating veal. Eat pork or mutton or matured beef and the packers and kill ers, finding the demand gone, will quit buying the calves. The United States is the greatest veal-consuming country in the world, the demand for veal having increased 100 per cent In the past decade. Ac cording to the year book of Swift Co. there were slaughtered during 1911 8,000,000 calves averaging 70 pounds in weight. Had they been allowed to live one year they would have averag ed 600 pounds and woul have given the country 4,800,000,000 pounds of beef instead of only 560,000,000 pounds of veal. This, It is estimated, would be sufficient to furnish a city of 350,000 people with Its total meat supply for over 50 years. Reducing this to a one year basis, it would do the same thing for a country of 17,500,000 Inhabitants for one year. In other words the young calves slaughtered in '1911 to satisfy the call for veal, would have furnished had they been allowed to live one year, sufficient beef for over one-fifth of our population for a whole year. South American countries passed laws making It an offense subject to a severe penalty to slaughter female calves, heifers or cows under six years of age. The object of these laws was to Increase the breeding herds. The result has been three times as many calves as there were formerly, and from male calves the markets obtain a bigger supply of veal and baby beef than It ever did before. RECORD OF I. C. C. In a summinc up of the work of the interstate commerce commission for the year 1912 "The Bache Review' closes it with these words: "The result is that railrosfd credit has been badly crippled and the whole country is feeling the ill effects. Poli ticians are the only ones who have benefited so far in the campaign against business and railroad progress, and the people should, before long, become aware of this." The interstate commerce commis sion was appointed to carry out the plan of regulating railways. The regulation this last year has consisted largely in reducing rates to meet the views of rival shippers and communities and in suspending all ad vances, except an insignificant few. Under this treatment, quoting the same authority, the average receipts of the railroads have been reduced over $42,000,000. This sum added to the earnings of the roads. Would have placed their net income at a sufficient ly attractive figure to have induced investments in their, securities all over the" world. It must be remembered that these are reductions for only one year. During this time the commission has heard and decided 375 rate cases. Of these, in 243 or 65 per cent, the com mission granted reduction, reparation, or declared the existing rate unreason able, leaving 132 cases in which the complaint was dismissed, but with no advantage to the railways. In addi tion to these 243 deliberative decisions, the commission entered no less than 3,332 "informal reparation orders, all tending to deplete railway revenues." This is the record of one year's work of the interstate commerce commis sion in relation to our greatest indus try. It comes, as a further reduction ofter the adverse decision In the ad vance rate cases in 1911, when the railroads of the country were stopped from the increase of freight rates. which had been applied for, a year before, and were badly needed then. In addition, state legislations have continued to hamper the railroads, un doubtedly contributing to this result of small mileage. Texas, with its 265,- 000 square miles of territory, shows increase of only 206 miles during the year, when there is crying need there for 2,000 miles at least. Let the legislators-of these various states stop and ask themselves whether they have helped the people In their endeavors to punish capital. Have they not hurt the people more even than they have the railroads? The extra charges, if the increase in rates asked for in May, 1910, by the railroads, had been granted, would have been widely distributed, adding comparatively small- burden to the shipper, who would, in turn, have recovered from the distributor, and the added expenses would have pass ed along, continually spreading and dividing up, to the wholesaler, the dealer, and afterwards in- inflni tesimally small portion woald have rested upon the consumers. But the vivifying effect in giving credit to the railroads, enabling them to readily place securities, would have meant large expenditures and operations by them benefiting nearly all other in dustriar enterprises and out of this every consumer would have profited tenfold. Not only was the 1910 request for this advance held up, and finally in February, 1911, adversely ruled upon, but existing rates have been steadily reduced. JAYHAWKER JOTS Edison Bet of Fredonia has obtained a job with the General Electric Co, That seems appropriate. They are still playing basketball in southeastern Kansas although the baseball season has been open more than a week. The editor of the Manhattan Mer cury has sprung a "deadly parallel" on his unsuspecting brother editor of the Nationalist. Some towns never lose an oppor tunity to get into the limelight. Well ington lays claim to the woman who chopped down her lover in Kansas City. It is a commendable thing to save something for a rainy day, says Anna Carlson, but some folks save as if they expected to live two hundred years with rainy days scattered all along tne way. The Caldwell Advance tells a story Of a girl who is so tender hearted she cannot bear to see her mother, who Is crippled with rheumatism, do the family washing so she goes away from home on washday! After killing one man and wrecking two or three trucks by trying to turn corners at too high speed, says the Iola Register, the Hutchinson fire de partment has been ordered to let the fires burn a little longer. ETwing Herbert, Charley Harger, Will White, and E. E. Kelly Kansas editors all use violet ink when they write with a pen. This is the hall mark of a "literary cuss," says Gomer uavies, and each is entitled to the mark.

From the Philadelphia Record. You can help a lot sometimes by not giving advice. Life would be mighty monotonous if it were all sunshine. -Happiness depends half on what we do ana naif on what we don t- Some women go In for the high brow pose, wnne others prefer tne low neck.

"Troubles come disguised as well as blessings." remarked the Cynical Bach elor. "Many a chaDeron has developed into a match-maker." You can reach a man's heart through his stomach," quoted the Wise Guy. "I wonder if the missionaries who go to the cannibal islands ever think of that?" sug gested the Simple Mug. Blobbs "A fool and his money are soon parted." Slobbs "How about a fool and her money?" Blobbs "Oh. they generally marry into the nobility, which amounts to the same thing." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Lots of family trees bear lemons. Leaders of men are women, not Infre quently. Gossip is a cartridge fired from the gun of idle curiosity. The dead are soon forgotten and so are a tv.t of us who are alive. Good intentions sometimes even outlive the headache that gave them birth.

The Harvard professor who predicts a noiseless world, must De expecting that millennium when politicians will be a thing of the past. A Frisco cashier feels sad because he must serve ten years for stealing $207,000. A lot of us have to serve longer f6r less but it is because we don't steal it. Wolgast feels that he needs a rest. That makes it about unanimous. The only way to argue with some people is to use either a damp elm club or a brass band. When a woman takes up physical culture, she has two ends in view either to reduce or increase her clr cumference. Another c'lfference between notoriety and fame is that notoriety last longer. When a girl stops using postcards for all her correspondence it Is a Sign that she has reached the "mush" stage. and has a boob on the string. Everybody could be happy if their troubles affected them no more than they affected their friends. It might be said of the Oklahoma booze dealers who lost 300 gallons at one swipe, that they were caught in th Webb law. SAYS UNCLE GAV Have a care how you warn us that other men and other men's ideas are dangerous. We are all the more like ly in the end to espouse them. trre quently when we seek to destroy a man or a thing, we merely succeed in advertising him or it. There is more than a little sense n that oA fable concerning Pan dora and the box. If there had been no intimation of danger, the little lady's curiosity wouldn't have got the best of her. It would have been a heap better policy upon the part of the custodians of the box to have applied the vermifuge quietly and ef fectively before 'calling Pannie's at tention to the fact that there were in teresting possibilities beneath the lid. The world is full of Pandoras and Pandora's boxes, i We run across them every day or two in religion, politics, industry, art and science. Usually, instead of disposing of the trouble hives quietly, we" go about uttering warnings. The result is that some body lifts the lid and there's the dickens to pay. If you wish to make somebody s mental vagary seem sane, just talk about it. You'll finally establish a following for it by telling your neigh bors how insane it is. If you wish to make the cheap and tawdry popular to the exclusion of the meritorious, talk about it; warn people against it. Ask the "popular song' man; ne Knows. If you would make vice as pleasing as virtue, discuss it in horrified tones at every possible opportunity. You'll get the rest of us interested in some-, thing we had never given thought to and we'll find out for ourselves. Is there a dangerous political doc trine that threatens to raise hob with the hoi polloi? Get out on the street corner and damn it from Sacarapa lo Pot, Texas, and in due time the dear public will, rise up and embrace it.

(Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Punishes All Liars. In Tlmbuctoo there is a venerated tomb. It is the tomb of Sidi Iaia. The marabout who there reposed was dur ing life tho most truthful of men. It is for this reason that his name is the supreme attestation of all oaths. The people visit his sepulchre to swear upon it as they swore in the middle ages on the relics of saints. The one making oath kneels before the mauso leum, and Introducing his head into a window, speaks to the dead. Iidi Iala, if what I say is false cut off my head!" It is averred throughout the country that no liar can ever withdraw his head from the hole. Sidi Iaia seizes him by the ears and tears his head from his shoulders. For this reason none except those with clear con sciences dare expose themselves to this ordeal. A negress accused by her spouse of misconduct was brought by the husband to the famous tomb. With fearful soul she scarcely passed the top of her head within the bullseye. "Fur ther, further!" cried the husband. She obeyed. "Now, swear!" With a faint voice she swore. Sidi Iaia did not buuge and the wife rose in triumph. "Do you doubt me now?" she asked. Then Intoxicated with Joy, she began to dance. Scarcely had she begun to do so when she sprained her foot and cried out. "Par don, Sidi Iaia, pardon for having lied to thee. I have deceived my husband." Miserable woman, yeiiea tne nus- band, who began to shower blows on her bare, brown shoulders. But the people interfered. "Sidi has Just pun ished her," they said, "and you have no right to do so." From that day the woman was sanc tified by the chastisement she had re ceived. She is now the guardian of the tomb of Sidi Iala, and shares with the saint the emoluments given for au thenticating the oaths in her pres ence. Kansas City Journal. 1 HER BEAUTIFUL HAIR. In my fancy it seems that the fairies In play. While the meadows were decked in their Summer array. From the flowers have pilfered the pollen with care And have hidden the hoard in her beauti ful hair. I have rambled at times in a fanciful dream. O'er the shimmering shore of a tropical stream; While Its glistening sands I have sought to compare With the glint of the gold in her beauti ful hair. Then I've thought of the mythical Midas of old. For the charm of his touch left the glimmer of gold; In my fancy I've seen him contribute share Of the gold that's enshrined In her beauti ful hair. Though I like best to think, In my whimsical way. That perhaps in her 'hair once the sun beams did Play: And the. glimmering gleams which were caught in the snare Are forever enmeshed in her beautiful hair. William Henry Seymour, THE EVENING STORY Back to Tosco. (By Florence S. Kelly.) A poor, forlorn girl got off the train at Tosco. Iowa. It was March, and the outlook about the little buff sta tion was bleak and slushy. Ed Daw son, the station master, looked up from his reaort sheet as Athy Hay ward entered .the station: "Gad, I'm glad to see you back," he exclaimed, extending his big red hand. "Thank you Ed, I'm glad to be back." As she left the station, she wondered if she were really glad to be back. She knew she was not; that she hated the place. Athy had spent the last two winters in Washington where her father had been in congress. Although young men are a scarcity in Washington she had never lacked for attention as she was a charming girl with good looks, plenty of small talk and al ways ready for a good time. The last season had been espe cially gay since Hal Mainwaring had been added to her list. Hal was by no means the sort of man a young girl dreams about. He was small and in sipid looking and wore a horrible lit tie red mustache. Where Hal shone was a cotillion leader or at a skating rink. He drove a tri-colored machine which had a coat of arms the size of a pie plate on the door. Hal's people were genuine blue-bloods. His father had been a cabinet member at one time and his grandfather was on the supreme bench when he died, so they had tone and went in the best set in town. Hal had introduced Athy to this ultra set into which he had been born and had kept her busy seven days out of a week. It was no wonder she gazed about her with big tears in her beau tiful eyes, as she thought of settling down in Tosco again. As she passed the hog chute and walked up the main street ankle deep in slush, so different from wasnmg ton's immaculate thoroughfare, she wondered if she had not better accept Hal's proposal. She had promised to let him have his answer in a week. As she reached the familiar corner of Main and Church streets, a rubber tireless piano-box buggy rattled up to the curb and stopped. A big, robust fellow of 35 or so jumped down and grasped Athy's hand. It wag Tom Matthews, and he had always been one of Athy's most zealous admirers. In fact, before Athy went to Washing ton, two years before, it was rumored they were engaged, but no one knew. If it had not been for Tom, Athy probablv would have given Hal Main waring his answer before she left Washington, but she felt that she must see Tom again before deciding. In his letters he. had always been as un assuming as he was interesting, al though she knew he had become fa mous out west, and she could read be tween the lines of his still deep af fection for her. Tom came from good old New Eng land stock. He had been raised on a farm and looked the part. He wore a wide brimmed hat and his trousers bagged at the knees. It was easy to be seen he had never had his nails "done" or worn pumps. He had made his way through law school and "was now about the ablest man in that section of the country. He was plainly embarrassed and began to talk of many things. "So glad to see you did not look for you back so early. Sorry for your father's sake that he was defeated, but glad for our sakes," he said with a meaning look. "Well, I can't enthuse much over the prospect of living here again." she said. "I would love to live in Washington for ever. Oh, Tom, It is heavenly down there. The ar of prosperity everywhere, the beautifully dressed women and well- groomed men. It already seems like a dream." Tom's face saddened as he realized how much in earnest she was. He had heard of her popularity in Washington and knew she could go back there to live If she would say the word. His prospects of winning her seemed very remote. After promising to call soon, he left her, and she hurried on. If Tom could have read her thoughts he would not have been so discouraged. The contrast between the two men was ao noticeable that It startled her. She was forced to admit that she cared for Tom and always had, but Hal, and especially Washington, had become a necessity, ao she felt. If Tom had only lived In Wash ington Instead of Tosco! The next evening Tom called and Athy hardly knew him as he was ushered into the drawing room. He was dressed in evening clothes and wore them well. "Why Tom. when did you start wearing half-six six clothes T' asked Athy with a laugh. "Oh, I've been .wearing these the last year. In fact, ever since I started speech making. By the way, Atby, I want you to hear a speech I'm about to give over at Falrhaven tomorrow. Let's take a walk and I'll tell you about it." When they returned Athy knew there was but one thing for her to do, and that was accept Tom and live in Tosco the rest of her days. He was everything a sensible girl could wish for Dig and strong, at the same time tender and full of sym pathy, .ihe knew she loved him, buj it was hard to give up Washington and all it had meant, so soon. Still she had a feeling of contentment now that her mind was made up. She would write Hal to morrow and tell him her decision. When she came down to breakfast the next morning her father was busy read ing the morning paper. 1 told you so, he said, by way of greeting. "What do you mean, father?" "Tom Matthews has been appointed to fill the unexpired term of Senator Elmore who died last month. I suppose he will be leaving for Washington soon." That arternoon om aroppea arouna. "Oh. why didn't you tell me before?" was her greeting. Tom smiled modestly as he replied, "I was afraid you might think I was trying to prejudice the Jury. I figured if you'd stand for me in Tosco you would in Wash ington." (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure newspaper syndicate.) EVENING CHAT ST KUTS CAMBROIC "As the Twig Is Bent The laundryman, for some unknown reason, was two days late with the laun dry, and the head of the family discov ered one morning that he hadn't a single clean collar. "Where are the clean-collars?" he call- eu to ms wire. She left the toast to burn and hurried into the bedroom to answer him.. "Why, the laundry hasn't come." she explained apologetically. "X don't know why; it never was so late before. I'm awfully sorry. ner tone was extremely apolo getic, and her manner most denrecatlnff. Now the head of the house was new to his and didn't know exactly what heads of houses did under such circumstances. But when he heard his wife's apologetio tone, he took his cue from that. Evident ly he was expected to blame her, so ha did. "I'd like to know what I'm going to do." he growled in a most accusing man ner. "Here it Is half-past seven, and I haven't a clean collar to put on. I sup pose I'll have to use one of those half dirty ones. Give me the laundry bag. I wish you'd see that I don't get caught like this again." Of course she hastened to hand him the bag; and of coursa she Dromlsed not- to ouena again as humoiy as if she had real ly been to blame; and of course she was very sweet and solicitous at breakfast to atone for the sin she hadn't committed; and of course he graciously relented, as heads of houses usually do when they have relieved their minds by blaming some one for their annoyances. And lastly, of course that man is going to develop into a household bully. Twen ty years from now he will be a confirmed tyrant In his home. Why shouldn't he be when his wife is evidently so eairer to be tyrannized over? When you see a spoiled cmid you can Know there Is a spoiling mother behind him. When vou see a bullying, tyrannical husband, you can know that he has a wife who has helped to develop this attitude. It's a tremendous relief to the mind to have some one to blame for anything that annoys you. Therefore when a wife shows sne is willing to be reproached for every unpleasant thing that happens, whether it is really her fault or not, do you blame thu husband for using this safety valve whenever he has a feeling of annoyance? I don't. At least no more than I blame the wife for taking that attituude. Good husbands, like good children, must be trained from the very start. A wrong attitude at the beginning means an ever widening breach between what is and what ought to be. The wife who wants to live with a reasonable, lust husband, and not a tyrant, will not" invite her husband to blame her for things that are not her fault. She will sympathize with him for his annoyances, and try to help him out of them, but she will not apologize for them when she knows she is entirely guiltless. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BY ROY K. MOULTON. Little Johnnie's Mystery. By gum, when Sis puts on her hair She takes a big hair pin And fastens it right to her scalp, Then shoves it right plumu in. She then takes ten or fifteen more And jabs 'em in her branes; It's quite a mystery to me How she can stand the panes. I once went to the cirkus and- I see a funny freak; They say he had a rubber skin Or leastwise, so to speak. He shoved needles through his hide And never male a yell; But if I'd tried it I'd have dide. I know It gol ding well. I But Sis has gone that feller beat. For when her hare s all pinned Tight to her scalp all trim and neat The show has just beginned. The best part of it is to come For then she grabs her hat And does a trick that's goin' some. I'm here to tell you that! She puts her hat upon her head And takes a great long pin. And without stoppin to take aim She Jabs it right straight in. She then sticks in 'bout seven more. I'd think she would be ded A-walkln' round with all them things A-stlckin' in her hed. I tried to pin my hat on once Like li.r and it s a cinch had to quit before that pin Was in my scalp one inch. She Jabs new holes right in her hed. Some thousand every week, d think tha she would be alarmed For fear her roof would leak. From the Hickeyville Clarion.

William Tibbitts' delivery horse is so thin that Tibbitts hangs the harness on his shoulder blades nights. which saves puttln' up harness hooks. Tibbitts feeds sawdust in with the ground feed, nine parts sawdust to one part feed, and says the hoss ain't complained none about it yet, al though he does seem to be getting that wooden expression of counte nance which we read so much about in Robert Chambers' novels. Elmer Jones was callin' on Miss E H the other night. Ah, there, Elmer. Pull the front winder curtains down after this. Old Man Purely has got a new wooden leg made out'n a popular tree, and it grows so fast he has to saw otr six or elgnt inches or it every day, so he can walk without be in' lopsided.

If the Democrats succeed In passing the new tariff bill in its present form they may live happily ever afterwards but the chances are against them. Here are some objections; Farmers oppose reducing the duty on wheat fiom 25 cents to 10 cents. Millers can not figure out why wheat is taxed while flour is free. Angora goat hair, now on the free list, is to be taxed 20 per cent. Wool is to be free. Texas wants a duty on wool to protect that Industry from Mexico. Wool raisers of northwest and eastern states will back up Texas. Making vanilla ex tract is an important industry In Maine. The new law proposes to place a tax of 50 cents a pound on vanilla beans and Senator Jones, of Maine, ia hollering, for it will cripple his state. Ohio Democrats are opposing free wool and declare they will not sup port that feature of the new bill. Ev- I ery senator and representative from cane industry are important are against free raw sugar. Atchison Globe. REMINDS HIM OF OLD DAYS. The editor of the paper rather admires the stand taken by the Missouri state in surance superintendent, Mr. Revelle, in reference to the withdrawal of the big fire Insurance companies. In substance that official tells the companies there is no reason for their quitting the state but adds that if they do, taey need not apply to regain admission during the four year he is in office. The noise coming from Jeff City sounds very much like one that emanated from Topeka when Webb McNall made the In surance companies come to time In Kan sas. They threatened to withdraw from the state and made believe that Kansas would sink into oblivion If they did so. A few of the companies had their char ters revoked for not coming to time and a few a very few others left the state but McNall stood pat and saved the people of Kansas thousands of dollars every year. And the funny part of it is the Insurance companies have done more business and made more money under the reforms forced on them than ever before. As It is they get three dollars from the state In premiums to every one returned in losses paid, which ought to be a highly profit able business. Cherry vale Republican. FROM OTHER PENS THE TRUST PROBLEM. Secretary Redfield is mainly correct in his diagnosis, which leads him to the conclusion that the trust problem may right itself. His doubts of the industrial efficiency of the trusts are, probably, well founded. Certain eco nomics of centralized organization are obvious; but whether they are not overbalanced by equally obvious eco nomic weakneses is a point that can not be too strongly emphasized. Exact study and im.- urel consideration of the question would be necessary for its de cision to a certainty. There are -some general observations, however, which indicate tnat Industrial efficiency does not increase in ratio with the growth in size of an industrial combination. There seems to be a point beyond which an increase of output is obtain able only at increared relative cost of production. The higher efficiency is a matter of good management: but even siiDerior executive ability, haa its limitations. ine self interested directing head of an organization, which is not too ex tended to be overseen by him, has an advantage over the organizer who is dependent upon the superintendence of hired men. Another advantage of the smaller concern Is its greater ability to specialize. While these arguments may be called theoretical, the indu bitable facts are that many trusts have failed financially; others are i.ot paying dividends upon their securities commensurate with the profits earned by smaller private concerns: and Sec retary Redfield puts the pertinent Ques tion: "Is it, or is It not, true that the major motive in the formation of a trust Is the profit of the promoter?" There is one important consideration omitted from Secretary Redfleld's diag nosis, however. When a trust has obtained a practical monopoly of nat ural resources, which are the raw ma terial of Industry, it is superior to com petition. If the control of crude pe troleum by the Oil trust and of most of the visible iron ore by the Steel trust were not secure we might more confidently expect "the remorseless law of economics" to work out the prob lem without the aid of legislation. Philadelphia Record. A DEMOCRATIC ADVANTAGE. The new constitutional amendment, providing that United States senators shall be elected directly by the people, probably will operate to increase the strength of the Democratic party in the upper branch. The terms of 32 senators expire in 1915 and the elec tion of their successes will occur In November of next year. Unless the Republicans and Progressives get to gether before that time, it looks as if the Democrats would make material gains because of this division. The people of Iowa are already beginning to worry about the situation. Senator Cummins of that state, whose views are progressive, is one of the 32 sena tors, and the legislators of Iowa are now trying to pass a law which will permit Mr. Cummins to run on both the Republican and Progressive sena torial tickets next year. They say If they can't make such n n ni-mno-omont Iowa is likely to elect a Democratic senator. True enough, and the same situation will obtain in at least 13 other former Republican eluding New Hampshire and Connecti cut in New England, and our not far aistant neignoors. New York and Pennsylvania. Boston Globe. SCHOOLS FOR FACTORY GIRLS. The heads of four manufacturing companies in the "white goods" In dustry of this city have bargained with the board of education for a public school for factory girls, which will teach them to become more efficient. The course of study, which at first will be elementary, will be at the expense of the employers. The girls will get wages for their work In the factories, and spend part of their time In being schooled. The employers are per suaded that the carrying out of this plan and its steady development will prove financially profitable. As It has been successfully tried in other cities it has lacked the quality of a philan thropy or charity. But It has benefit ed the workers in giving them the skill and broader training that has en abled them to leave narrow and Ill paid tasks, and o work more prosper ously. Phllanthopy seldom lasts longer than the generous impulses of a wealthy giver. The benefits accruing from the works of enlightened self interest do not depend upon superfluity of wealth, and they become establish ed and self-perpetuating. New York Time KANSAS COMMENT

How to Handle Etrs. The department of agriculture of the Vnited States has sent out posters to he placed on view in the various gro cery stores telling of the loss by bad methods in handling of eggs that oc curs in the United States in a single year. The loss is placed at $45,000,000. Several rules for farmers to r'ollow are given and it is said that if all farm ers would adhere to this rule the loss of eggs would be made less by a least $40,000,000. The rules follow: 1. Keep all nests clean and have one nest for every four hers. 2. Keep the eggs in a cool dry room or cellar. 3. Market eggs at least twice a week. 4. Sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over. A Ufs Load of Hay. The big auto truck belonging to J. E.

More San Francisco, April 23. Following the refusal of the Marconi Wireless company to grant their demands for an, increase in wages, the wireless operators employed on the steamships of the Pacific coast have declared a strike. There are three- hundred and twenty-five operators belonging to the wireless operators union on this coast. Only two steamers installed with wireless sailed from this port to day and each case the two operators employed on the ships refused to leave their position's. The men demand an increase from the present wages of $75 a month to $95 to $125 for shore operators and from $35 to $45 on ships to $50 and $60. S. J.

Dan- ner, chairman or tne -iarvey county Republican central committee, has issued a call for a mass meeting of all Republicans of the county to be held May 17, for the purpose of consider ing the harmony meeting at Topeka, and if agreeable to elect delegates. There are a great many adherents of both factions in this county who ravor the "get-together" idea. CZ! 3 to get some of FANS FOUND WAY Citizens of Girard Voted Against Sunday Baseball. Then Patrons of Game Moved the City Limits. Girard, Kan., April 23. Despite the rigidly enforced I'blue law" ordinance Girard may have Sunday baseball for the city commission has voted unani mously to change the boundary lines of the town so the ball park will be outside the city limits and the juris diction of the city authorities. Part of the population wants Sun day baseball. Another part does not Both Sunday ball "fans" and the anti Sunday fans are resourceful and very much in earnest. So when the advo cates of Sunday ball helped organize a team to play Sunday games in spite of protests, the Puritanic following- de cided to take a hand. They prepared a "blue law" ordinance and it was sub mitted to the people at the city elec tion. It was made an "issue" of the campaign. The morning following the election the Sunday, baseball patrons awoke to find the htllA lanr nil.k4)iU. 3 I' I Milium k?uiiud.y a TY1 HCAmA... c u.w.uociucui.s ui an irnos, naa passed with a majority of five votes. Then tne ians came to bat. They discovered a flaw in the new ordinance. Nice little technicality it mac j chuckled to themselves. Thought they "u otner ieuows on the run. But ine opposition arose in righteous in dignation and with one voice demand ed of the mayor that he enforce the ordinance and the mayor did. But fans are fans and they were eOUal to the ncpavinn T'V. I I j. juj LillltS 1L was their turn to go before the city commission ana tney hit the ball over the center field fence for a clean home run. When Girard yawned and rubbed its eyes Tuesday morning it was to make the discovery that the ball park had been removed from the city limits over night. And now the Girard ball team can play Sunday ball right under the church folks' noses for the city authorities are without authority since the park is out of the city's jurisdic tion.

Grose, formerly of Baltimore, Md., today was installed as the eleventh president of Depauw uni versity, succeeding Dr. Francis J.

A New Face Without 'Surgical Skin Peeling "I do not approve of the surgical opera tion of face peeling," says Julia Orff. "It's too radical, too often dangerous. There's a better way of removing offensive com plexions and one that is entirely safe and rational. Ordinary mercolized wax causes the devitalized scarf skin to come off, but gradually and gently. Unlike the surgical process, the skin is not forcibly taken off in big pieces all at once, but almost in visible flaky particles are absorbed by the wax, and from ten days to two weeks are required to complete the transformation. There's no pain, no discomfort. "Nature renews complexions the same way. shedding tiny cutaneous scales day. by day. But deficient circulation, or other abnormal condition, may interfere wfth the shedding a 'bad complexion' results. Then mercolized was assists Nature by hastening the removal of the aged, faded or discolored top skin. Thus only the lively, young, healthy-hued skin is in evi dence, as in robust girlhood. This is why mercolized wax produces the indescribable beauty of ever-renewing youth. The wax is put on at night like cold cream, and washed off in the morning. Tou can pro cure it at any druggist's; an ounce is suf ficient." Ad" to Old Home in Green Mountains. A NEW ENGLAND FEAST Maple Sugar and Pumpkin Pies for AH. Folks Who Gained Strength From Bocks and Hills. Three hundred cakes of maple su gar, fifty pounds of maple syrup and half a hundred pumpkin pies con tributed to the success of the banquet given by the Vermont Association of Kansas at the V. W. C. A. last night. Nearly one hundred guests were seat ed at five long tables decorated with cheery red geraniums. Judge George H. Whitcomb, retiring president, act ed as toastmaster and introduced Jo seph A. DeBoer of Montpelier, who responded to the toast, "Vermont as a Progressive State." Governor Hodges, who was a guest of honor, gave a brief encomium on the Sun flower as well as the Green Mountain state. Most of the guests were native Ver monters. A few should have been born in Vermont, but weren't. Each was loyal to the state that produces the greenest hills, the clearest brooks, the whitest snows, the gaudiest au tumns and the finest maple sugar un der the sun. Every one knew that a Vermont winter is "Snowbound" vitalized, a Vermont summer a Tenny son idyl and an autumn in the Green Mountain state a bit of heaven on earth. Judge Whitcomb introduced Mr. DeBoer in a delightful little speech. "One of the characteristics of Ver mont," said he, "is its self confidence and self reliance. When Vermonters withdrew allegiance from New York, England and the Continental congress they drew up a constitution something like this: "Resolved, That we adopt the laws of God and Connecticut un til we have time to frame better.' They've been proceeding under the laws of God and of Connecticut for the last century and a quarter. They have held March meetings and Sep tember elections. Is Vermont a pro gressive state?. Last fall the report was given out from White River Junc tion that Taft had carried by a plural ity of 1,000. After all, Vermont and Utah went down together locked in each other's arms. It seems right that these two states should hang to gether in the hour of adversity; the first Mormon was a native Vermont er. I find that the last legislature submitted eight amendments to the constitution. They concerned matters of grave importance. One eliminated the September election. We have with us tonight a gentleman who can tell us about the Vermont constitution. I take Pleasure in presenting.. Mr. DeBoer." Mr. DeBoer spoke with a hearty Yan kee twang. He carried his hearers back to dear old White River Junc tion, sleepy Brattleboro, Rutland in the hills, and the capital city famed' in fiction and in history. In 45 minutes he convinced citizens of Topeka that roads, banks, schools, farms, men, gov ernors and statutes in Vermont stand as high as the Metropolitan tower. "They used to tell a story in Ver mont," he declared, "as a train pulled into Montpelier Junction, someone said, 'By gum, there's the 6:05 on time.' 'Oh,' explained the station master, 'that's yesterday's 6:05.' They don't tell that story anymore because Vermont s a progressive state. A man was asking me about Vermont. I told him we had 10,000 square miles, but were bigger than New York if we were flattened out; that our population was 360,000. T know, he said, 'but what's your pe culiarity? What are you famed for?' 'We're famed,' said I, 'because we don't know who are the more loyal citizens those within the state or those with out!' In presenting Governor Hodges, Judge -Whitcomb declared Kansans had something Vermonters couldn't have a Democratic administration. The governor reminded Mr. DeBoer rather cleverly that Kansas had con tributed to the progressiveness of Ver mont; that her sister state. New Hampshire, came to Kansas for her college presidents Ernest Fox Nichols of Dartmouth, E. T. Fairchild of Dur ham. "In Kansas we live to do things," he declared, "we are a state of young men and young women there's a world of possibilities in the Sunflower state." The Rev. Mr. Hingham offered the Invocation. Mrs. E. N. McGregor, of Wichita, gave a report of the Vermont association in Sedgwick county. E. W. Thompson, who has entertained the society for nine consecutive years, re cited "The Habitant and other French-Canadian verses. The Wash burn Glee club quartette. including Frank Ripley, Herbert Blinn, Sherri,i Smith and Pericles Miller, sang "To Althea," "Annie Laurie," and "Lucky Jim." S. A. Hayes fiddled old-fashioned tunes on a violin 200 years old. Preceding the banquet was a recep tion. One of the features of the din ner was 1913 maple syrup served on Ice in lieu of a sugaroff. One had biscuits and maple syrup, doughnuts and maple syrup, and maple sugar to carry home to the kiddies. The program closed with the singing of "Vermont For Me" by F. C. Har rington, to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." "Vermont's the 'star that never sets,' home of the brave and free. And no Green Mountain boy forgets to say, Vermont for me!" The following officers were elected for the year: President, C. B. Mer riam; vice presidents, C. H. Chandler, C. M. Heaton; secretary, Paul A. Love well. Those present were: Joseph A. De Boer of Montpelier, president of the National Life Insurance company of Vermont; Mrs. Edward N. McGregor, secretary Sedgwick County Vermont club, Wichita.; Mr. E. D.

Mayor R- L. Cofran spent most of a rainy morning examining the ciiy nrrtinan book, and penciling those laws which have not been enforced. "I have found a cycle of ordinances that exist, but are not observed," he declared, producing a list, "1 intena to prosecute offenders to the iunest extent of the law." Baseball playing in the street must stop. It's spring and everyone the ball fever the youngster in the Russian blouse and his dad who roots at the game. School children pitch ball across the road every evening; they're liable to arrest and a $10 fine. All street sprinklers should be ex amined by the street commissioner, but aren't. The ordinance reminds the reader that spraying is to allay dust, not to create mud. Mayor Cofran has come out strong in the interest of the ladies' -skirts; he's going to pro tect them A sprinkler that makes a street unlit is liable to a fine of not less than $3, nor more than $50. Many youngsters whizz over the side walks on their bicycles. Several of them have had their names taken by plain clothes men. but Mayor Cofran is going farther.' He can fine the of fender a quarter of a hundred dollars, and intends to do it. There is an or dinance prohibiting the throwing of waste paper on public thoroughfares, another prohibiting the breaking of glass. "We're giving the people fair notice, said the mayor, "we'll talk for a few days, then we ll act." Mr. Cofran received an invitation from Carter Harrison, major of Chi cago, to the fifth session of the Na tional Conference on City Planning to be held May b in the Windy City. The mayor won t be able to go, but may send a representative. Since it was known that an elevator may bfe installed in the city building. Mayor Cofran has received communi cations from several manuiactories asking for bids.. The mayor is planning for a push button arrangement, to save the expense of an elevator man. Colonel J. W. F.

Leech's name was certified Monday by the civil .service board; he takes the plate of Ed Woodruff, who resigned.

Richard V. Schliebner, a 17-year-old typist, has a record of 250 words a minute on a Remington machine, and gave proof of h,s dexterity thi? morning at the high school. Forty words a second is going some. It was not speed, however, that the manager wished to demonstrate. The boy had his exhibition before the stenog raphy class in Room 19 of the Manual Training building; he has a swift, firm touch, and can type blindfolded as easily as with his glance on the keys. W. O. Davis, who is with Schliebntr, is quite an authority on typewriting point ers; he has written several articles on the subject. His slogan is "Accuracy, then speed." He advised the students to cul tivate a staccato touch and rhythmic movement. Schliebner's exercises sounded like the very rapid beating of a metro nome. The boy has been a professional for a couple of years, had a six months' business course when he was 15. He has given exhibitions in all the larger eastern cities, and lives in Xew York. He used a Remington No. 10, made the blind keys dance. A second and more elaborate demonstra tion was given at Dougherty's Business college this afternoon. Schliebner's wont is decidedly instructive to those more or less interested in typing. He can write ISO words of new matter with exemplary ease, and eliminates the demand lor shorthand. He was brought to Topeka through George Hart. Topeka manager of the Remington Typewriter company. JAPANESE STATEMENT Washington, D. C, April 23. This formal statement was issued at the Japanese embassy today: "Xo visit has been made by the am bassador to the White House this week nor has he ever hinted to anybody at such an alarming outcome of the situation, as a possible war between the two countries. "In fact such a contingency had not been' discussed" at any phase so that It is equally erroneous to say that the Japanese ambassador has declared that no war will follow. In fact he as well as his government confidently relies on the syn. pathetic attitude of the American administration and the high sense of justice and fairness of the nerican people to prevent legislation adverse to the Japanese. "In view of the gravity of those re pjrts and of their possible mischief, the embassy authorizes the strongest possible contradiction of such state ments."

The labor union war between the Industrial Workers of the World, captained .by William D. Haywoofl, and the Ameri can Federation of Lahor' under the leadership of John Golden for control of the strike of 25,000 silk mill work ers promised further development this afternoon at a meeting of strikers at Lafayette Oval. The rival organiza tions sent word to their supporters to come out in force, and a repetition of previous clashes seemed imminent. The federation exerted itself today in recruiting members, its leaders de clared for a continuation of the strike along temperate and lawabiding lines. Haywood and his follow-ers are bitter in their denunciation of the federation leaders and assert that inasmuch as the strike was started by the Indus trial Workers of the World no reason exists why that body should not direct the contest. I BELGIUM AT REST. Thousands of Strikers Are Returning to Work Oespfte Protests. Antwerp, April 23. Large numbers of strikers in various trades are re turning to work in consequence of yes terday's vote of the chamber of depu ties at Brussels on the question of equal suffrage. The shipping men connected with the port have telegraphed abroad that all difficulties of loading and discharging cargo have now been overcome. Brussels, April 23. The socialist headquarter's committee which organ ized the general strike for equal suf- trage throughout Belgium received to day hundreds of messages of congratu lation. The principal endeavor of the leaders is now directed toward keep ing the strikers from returning to work until the socialist congress can decide formally that the strike has come to an end. The congress will meet tomorrow. Reports from the in dustrial centers show there were a good many resumptions of work to day. Mrs. S. M. Abbott Gets Place. Mrs. S. H.

Blood Will Decide Control of Pacific Ocean. New Tork, April 23. "Warwtth Japan is inevitable, but it is not likely to come for ten years.." This is the way the situation, which is now attracting wide attention, is summed up this evening by Leroy Leonard of Belvedere. Cal. Mr. Leonard is connected with a New York house; he is Just back from Japan and he has been going to Japan twice a year for many years. "The real reason for such a war," said Mr. Leonard, "will not be, as many people here in the east seem to think, the treatment of Japanese in California. It will be the mastery of the Pacific. Somebody .must control the Pacific. It must be Japan or America. It will be America. But America must pay the price in the blood of her sons. "It 13 lamentable but true. "I am not taking any stock in the talk of a war growing out of the pres ent anti-Japanese agitation in Cali fornia. We have a problem to deal with in our state that the people in the east know little about. Wherever the Japanese settle they drive out Americans. They are dabbling in real estate all the time and once they get control of a piece of ground they never let go. We must stop that. "Where the Japanese settle our American .womanhood is in danger. The Japanese think they are our equals and want to associate with and marry American girls. If we allow them in our schools the associations must result in evil. If we allow them to hold our land the result will be the sam e. "The Japanese will not force the is sue on the proposed action of the Cali fornia legislature. They will swallow their pride and back down. What is more, the proposed action is Just what the Japanese have already done. No American can own land in Japan. The Japanese are wily enough to realize that tney cannot seriously expect us to ao what they are not willing to do. There Is another reason why Japan is not going to war Just now. Her finances are in bad shape. The people are taxed now to the very limit and they could not stand the additional ex pense of a war with America. It would bankrupt the nation for a hun dred years. The Japanese are patriot ic,' but I do not .-believe they would be willing to pay.tftat 'price." WON'T ATTEND SCHOOL Less Than 10 Per Cent of Children Will Recognize Superintendent. Pittsburg. April 23. Hardly 10 per cent of Pittsburg's 70,000 school chil dren are in attendance at the sessions today. Although the disorderly proces sions that characterized yesterday's situation have been suppressed by po lice, aided by parents, large numbers of children congregated about school houses and had to be scattered by de tails of police that were stationed at each of the 132 schools of the city. The children arrested yesterday while carrying banners demanding the re moval of S. L- Heeter, superintendent of schools, were today brought before a police magistrate and after a repri mand were turned over to parents. The police orders are to refrain from ar resting children unless the youngsters annoy passersby or do damage to property. A hundred or more pupils of the high school refused to attend sessions this morning but maintained order when ordered to move away from the school buildings. All available patrolmen are still on duty because of the school strike. No announcement yet has been made whether the citizens selected by the board of education to investigate the reflections on the character of Super intendent Heeter will accept the duty imposed. r OSAGE CITY MEETING.

A very enthusiastic meeting of the Osage County Automobile and Good Roads association was held here Wednesday evening, April 22nd. The following officers were elected for 1913: P. B. Bonebrake, president, Osage City; M. S. Marshall, first vice presi dent, Quenemo; C. F. Bolton, second vice president, Scranton; Eugene Wil son, third vice president, Lyndon; Harry Hagaman, secretary and treas urer, Burlingame. The secretary of the State Automo bile association was present and ex plained the new automobile tax law; also asked to have the club take up with the county commissioners the matter of using this fund, derived from the automobile owners, for drag ging only.' A committee from the club was appointed and- will, call upon the county commissioners at their next meeting. Osage is one of the few counties that has taken hold of road building in a business-like manner. All of the county roads have been designated and the commisioners have contracted with three different firms for grad ing. Each one of these firms has its traction engine, and the county high ways that have not been graded will, no doubt, be placed in excellent con dition this year. 4 j 1 PREJUDICE IS CHARGED Government Attorneys Worried Over Harvester Witnesses. Kansas Cfcy. April S3. The' fact that several of'thi witnesses who testified for the International-Harvester com pany at today's session of the hear ing of the government anti-trust suit against that concern had been wit nesses for the company formerly in state suits against it in Missouri or Kansas, was used by government at torney in an effort to show prejudice on the part of the witnesses in favor of the combine. Edwin P. Gros nor, of the- depart ment of Justice, cross-examining these witnesses who were implement dealers, attempted to show that their business with the international had increased since their testimony for the company in state anti-trust suits. "You told the truth in the state suits and you are telling the truth now, are you not?" was Judge Mc- Hugh's query of each of these wit nesses on redirect examination. Judge McHugh is chief counsel for the Har vester company. Duchess Not So Well. London. April 23. The Duchess of Connaught. wife of the governor-general of Canada, has not been so well during the past 24 hours, according to a bulletin issued by the surgeon in attendance. The duchess had been re ported as progressing favorably to ward recovery after an operation for the removal of the vermiform appen dix, performed April 10. I Steel Workmen Strike at St. Louis. St. Louis, April 23. Steel workers n the plant of the American Steel Foundries company at Granite City. III., struck today. It is estimated that between 800 and 1,000 'walked out. The men demand a wage increase and recognition of their union. L The United Doctors Make Cures Sure and Certain If You Are Not Cured You Owe Theni Nothing. You, sick and afflicted folks who are losing hope in your cases,-who have tried many kinds of, medicine and many practitioners, who have paid out large sums of money in an effort to regain health and all to no avail, should read this statenientcf the United Doctors. This association of specialists do not claim to cure every known disease. .They specialize upon just a few of the more ob stinate and dangerous diseases. Along the lines which they treat, these eminent specialists have put in years and years of study and research and have practiced their chosen professions carefully, studiously and successfully. This is the day of the specialist. To be cured of a disease, completely and permanently, the specialist who treats that disease can always give the best service. f ,f With the United Doctors .their policy is to give each case cemirjg- to their institu tion, a thorough and careful examination and if the case in their opinion is incurable they will not accept the case for treatment. Only curable cases are accepted. Curable cases, with the United Doctors however, are quite frequently those that have been given up as hopeless by the average doctor. The ability and training of the various specialists of the United Doctors Institute enables them to affect cures where others have failed and given the patient up to die. AS a further protection and assurance the United Doctors agree to give a con-' tract to the effect that if you are not cured .you owe the United Doctors nothing. Nervous Debility is one of the diseases which the United Doctors treat and cure which the ordinary practitioner never attempts to treat. Nervous debility often at tacks the hard working, hard thinking man or woman, simply because the nervous system is strained and weakened from over exertion. Often nervous debility is devel oped by derangement or weakened pelvic organs and only, the specialist who has made a careful study of this disease can reach the real cause of trouble and affect a cure. The United Doctors have been uniformly successful in the treatment of nervous de-, bility. They have cured others, restoring many men and women to normal, confident condition. If the United Doctors do not cure you, you owe them nothing. The United Doctors have never failed to cure a case of Blood Poison they have accepted as curable. Thejr methods are mod- ernj scientific and accurate. However, even their most eminent "specialist and their most scientific -methods will not cure the case of blood poison when it has reached the last stages and death is the only relief. The thing to do is to take your case to the United Doctors before the incurable stage has been reached, better yet to allow the United Doctors to take your case right at the beginning and cure you sound and well. Their charges are reasonable and of ten much less than the fees paid other doctors who seldom see a case of blood poison and have no success in affecting a cure. Dr. Franklin D. Walsworth, chief of staff of the Unit ed Doctors institute has' charge of the' cases coming t& his institution. All consultations, examinations and treatments' are made and con ducted by him and each case is held sacredly confidential. Dr. Walsworth's ability to diagnose the obstinate and baffling cases, to get right at the bottom of the disease and remove the basic disorder has won for himself and his institution a most favorable and enviable reputation. The United Doctors treat curable cases of Blood Poison, Gall Stones, Nervousness, Skin Diseases, Piles, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Stomach and Intestinal Diseases, Pelvic Diseases of Men and Women.

Recovered From Severe Lung Trouble Plenty of fresh air and good food are necessary to persons suffering from lung trouDie. Dut sometmng more is needed to bring about full health. Eckman's Alter ative is a medicine for throat and lung troubles, and so many reports have been received showing that it brought about good results in a number of cases which were declared hopeless, that all sufferers who are not benefiting otherwise should at least investigate what it has done for others.

Because he told the county attorney under oath that he had bought beer from Jack Humason, and then told the jury in the district court this morning that what he had bought was hop tea, R. E. Cunningham was arrested on a charge of perjury. He was led to the county jail at noon where he- will be held until for mal charges are made against him this afternoon. "I wasn't trving to shield anybody, Cunningham told a State Journal reporter. "I guess I don't know the difference be tween beer and hop tea." The affidavit was made before the county attorney some time ago. and was one of the bits of evidence upon which Atchison was depending for a conviction. When Cunningham declared he had pur chased no beer the affidavit was brought out He could not explain why he had changed his mind and was excused from the witness stand. He was immediately taken in custody by Sheriff L. L Kiene and later was taken to jail. "We can't afford to put up with such conflicts of statements as this,' declared Atchison in ordering Cunningham s arrest. "If we let this man go it would lead to others doing the same thing. He will be prosecuted to the extent of the law. perlury on a material matter before a court is punishable by a term in the state orison. Atchison holds that at one time or the other Cunningham swore to a false hood. Either time would make no dif ference, he having been under oath both times. FOR WOMEN, S3.

This was proved this morning when two women were arraigned cn charges of drunkenness. Instead of a fine of J10, meted ";ut to th- masculine of fenders Police Juda;e Georg.? A. Hur on assessed the .-mien .i penalty cf Jo each for their offense on pleas c guilty. i Then the Judge paroled one of the women on good behavior ajul warned her to be good and not fall into the hands of the officers for future viola tions of the law. John Bennett, an ir.aian. ana 'i" wife were -among those who were brought out to fac-5 the court at the morning session. Tha man drew the customary fine of $10, which Judge Huron says is the imnirat of fun any man ought to be able to get out of a drunk. The woman drew $3. Mrs. Tufare, who is a weakling phys ically, was the other woman prisoner charged with being drunk. She also drew $3 and then was paroled. Judge Huron showed a. tendency to chivalry in his treatment of female prisoners. BEWARE OF DOCK! Council Grove Woman IMes of Weed Mixed in Greens.

In all the world there is nothing that delights a man so much as to take a fling at the latest styles for women. There is something in that subject that seems to stir him all up and no man can talk on it for five consecutive minutes without becoming, well, to put it mildly, warmed to his subject. But the day approaches when the fair sex will no longer have a monopoly on all the little vanities which make up a woman's toilette. A glimpse of the spring styles for men will tell you that. For instance, look at the new Norfolk coats. They are not satisfied any more with two sin gle plaits down the back and a belt around the waist far be it. There are half a dozen little plaits tucked in around the front and back, and the skirt of the coat, below the belt, is separate and intact, and has sort of a ripple to it. They are fancier than any woman's Norfolk coat ever made. But that is not the worst. Look at the new soft hats. Perceive the posi tion of the" bow? It is directly in the back. Now any woman knows that It is but a short step from bows In the back to something worse: tiny bunches of rosebuds, for instance, or a graceful little plume. Alas, alas.

The Thursday Study club will have its last regular meeting for the year Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Raymond Wheat, 105 East Elev enth street.

Therefore, any Internal organ, any internal passage, or duct, or. cav ity, is subject to catarrh. The kid neys are subject to catarrh the same as any other internal organ. The catarrh may be slight, causing only an Insignificant chanse in the function of the kidneys. The catarrh tnay be severe, producing a condition resembling closely Bright's disease of the kidneys. In such cases there is extreme weakness, maybe bloating of the stomach, bloating of the hands and feet, puffiness of the eyes. Albu men In the urine. Possibly blood and mucus. Mrs. H. E. Russell, Eox 2, North Sut ton, New Hampshire, had been trou bled for sixteen years with kidney and bladder disease. She said she had taken all kinds of medicine without relief. "I finally applied to Dr. Hartman, who diagnosed my case as catarrh of the urinary organs. He advised me to take Peruna. Even after taking one bottle I felt better. I have now taken six bottles and am cured of my old trouble of sixteen years standing. Pe runa has been a godsend to me. I shall praise it always." How any rational creature Is going to explain such a cure as that except by giving great credit to Peruna as an excellent medicine, how it can be explained in any other way I cannot possibly" understand.

The new discovery, Croxone, pro vides a remedy which every sufferer can now depend upon to promptly and purely relieve all such misery. Croxone relieves these troubles be cause it quickly overcomes the cause of the disease. It soaks right into the Stopped up, inactive kidneys, through the membranes and linings; cleans out the little filtering glands: neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid and makes the kidneys niter and sift from the blood all the waste and pois onous matter that clog the system and cause such troubles. It does not matter whether you have but slight symptoms or the most chronic, aggravated case of kidney, bladder trouble, or rheumatism that it is possible to imagine, for the very principle of Croxone is such that it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. An orginal package of Croxone costs but a trifle, and all druggists are au thorized to return the purchase price if it fails to give the desired results the very first time you use it. Adv. H. C.

The opinion is unanimous that the prospects for a crop of wheat this year is the best ever known in this section of the state. Grainfield, April 23. There will be something going on every day here this year, Charles F. Home, who was elected mayor, is a boosting young business man, and is at the head of a larea ereneral mercantile house. The Home familv is popular in Grainfield. His wife was deservedly honored by beiner elected secretary of the Rebekah grand lodge of Kansas and the head office for distributing supplies to the orders throughout the state is located here. She is one of the largest de positors in the State bank here from the proceeds of the sale ot supplies besides the cancellation of stamps has larsrelv increased in the postoffice.

Not in the knowledge of the old settlers for the last 15 years has winter wheat en tered into the spring months in Gra ham county with more flattering pros pects than at this time. A small part of the acreage has been hurt by un favorable weather conditions, but close observers estimate that 95 per cent of the crop is in good condition. With favorable weather the estimat ed yield is more than two million bushels. There will be a big acreage of corn planted, while the kafir corn acreage will We cut short because of lack of stock to consume the fodder. Hill City, April 23. Graham coun ty people don't look on the estab lishing of a state irrigation plant in the county with as much favor as some of the other counties. With the exception of the year 1911, this coun ty has produced in dollars or farm wealth, as much as 75 per cent of the counties in the eastern part of the state, and many of her repre sentative citizens and farmers object to the statement going out that Gra ham is an "arid" county, which upon inspection of the state agricultural re ports of a dozen years will not verify. The people of Hill City who own their residence properties can appre ciate the great good a system of wa terworks can do for them. This spring is the first time they have used the city water and to see them seeding blue grass and setting out trees and shrubbery on account of the installation of a water system Is con clusive that the city water plant is a good investment. Even the county officers think it is a good thing, and they are seeding the court house lawn to blue grass. The new Hill City council com prises two bankers, one stock man, one farmer and a school and book supply business man. With Mapleton Girl May Save Contracted Paralysis While Feeding Fowls.

The Lawrence police and County Coroner Dr. H. T.

This much they know: An iron pipe, apparently a part of some farm im plement, was found in a field just north of the Lawrence tannery, 145 Maine street, this morning. There were blood stains on one end of the pipe, leading to the belief that it had served the purpose of a weapon in an attack upon someone or something. On the ground close by the place where the pipe was found were bits of membrane which the coroner iden tified as brains, but whether they are human or of an animal the coroner is unable to state. There was consider able blood on the ground close by. Further than this they know nothing. WOMAN OVER 100 YEARS OLD. Lived in Norton County More Than Forty Years. Norton, Kan., April 23.

Riley Tadlock. the deputy asses sor of Model township in sending Bob Rhoades the census report had given her age as 100 and Bob Rhoades, the county assessor, could hardly believe it, so he investigated the case and he puts the seal of authority upon the statement and declares that the story is absolutely true.

Bowersock. who an eh a has the water rights of the Kaw. He representative business council as this one is, and with the aid of good crops, which the season now prom ises, there is already a reeling that the Hill City people will be up and stirring all the time. Some of the defeated office seek ers in Graham county appear to dis like Hill City. John L. Crank, de feated for county attorney, has moved to Gentry, Ark., where he will engage in the practice of law, and George Schearer, defeated for probate judge. has moved to Kansas City. J. L. Colvin, ex-county attorney, has moved to Wichita. Miss Edna Sperry, ex- register of deeds, is taking a law course at Washburn college. F. D. Turck, who was defeated for Gra ham county legislative honors, says he will remain in Hill City, where he has lived about 35 years. His wife, Mrs. Mattie Turck, is spending the spring and summer months on the Pacific coast. They own real estate in Oregon near Portland. Mrs. Lucy Wilson, who has filled the office of school superintendent so faithfully and acceptably during the last four years, together with her husband, S. G. Wilson, will spend the summer in their old Massachusetts home, and visit other points of interest in the east. In the heart of Hill City there is a "draw,' more commonly known as the "deadline." It is now suggested that the draw be so improved and filled in and set aside for a town park. There is a stone arch bridge across the "draw," known as London bridge, and on the corner leading to the bridge there is cut in the cement walk the sign, "Here is where we part for ever." The park deserves to be made a success. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Byerts have re turned home from a two years ab sence in the Pacific coast states, and once more are at home on their Solo mon river alfalfa farm, west of Hill City. Mr. Byerts says the Pacific coast is all right, but he prefers Gra ham county. He was postmaster here for several years. Fruit prospects are good at this time. Frank Connor has a large va riety of fruit trees on his home place and they promise an abundant yield. can secure all the power he needs ex cept in case of very low water, at which time some kind of an auxiliary plant could be used.
