CALLS HIM AMORAL ISSUE" Fears Bad Precedent Being Set Which Others May Follow. Should Either Live Within Sal ary or Kesign Position. Washington. July 18. "Aside from the technical and legal question of the right of a public servant to Bell his services twice, the public announce ment by Mr. Bryan that a man of his well advertised democratic tastes can not live on an income of $12,000 pre eents a moral question for considera tion for the American people," de clared Senator Townsend. Republican, of Michigan, in a speech In the senate todav. "The question Is simply this, wheth er under the circumstances it is the duty of the citizen and the public ser vant to modify this style of living to bring it within his legitimate income or whether it is his privilege to re sell his services in order to cover tne cost of the style of living he has adopted." Senator Townsend's speech was an attack upon the secretary of state for his proposal of making paid lectures during his tenure of office to increase his income. He declared other cabinet officers were living on $12,000 salaries: that subordinates in the government de partments would not be allowed to do other work while holding their posi tions, and that because of his pre vious attitude before the people Mr. Bryan should have felt an obligation to live within more rigid lines. Posed as Public Censor. "For more than 15 years Mr. Bryan has posed as a public censor or man and measures." said senator iou end. "He has preached the duties of citizenship and assumed to establish con.i!ifHc: nf nnhlic service. His pub lic acts, therefore, more than those of P nny one man, except the presiaem, are of 'influence in the fixing of standards of public service and public policy. If the American people remain silent at this I time and by their silence give their influential approval of assent to the policy Mr. Bryan has announced, that attitude of an official toward his. duties must be assumed to De a per manent feature of our governmental Institutions. "For my part I feel impelled to voice a protest. I am no respecter of persons. I see no reason why the head of a department should be per mitted to make private gains by meth ods that are forbidden to his subordi- nates." Shocked at Desertion of Post. "At a time when most unusual for eign complications confront us, when the Japanese question is before us, whe nour relations with the disturbed republic to the south of us are most grave and fraught with mighty re sponsibility, indeed at this time above all others, the statement of Mr. Bryan for the purpose of personal financial -j gains comes as a shock to all thought- ful people. "This action Is even more inexcusa ble when it is known that the secre tary has been in office but a few months and from the nature of things, he cannot have become familiar with all of the responsibilities of his great position. The secretary of state is re- paraea as me most important execu- tive office of government below the president. He is premier of the cabi- net. he should be the first example of faithful, intelligent servant to dutv. "if he had resigned as secretarv, piving as his reason the one he did give, that he could not live on his salary and by inference that he owed a higher duty to his desire for weaith than he did to public service, there would have been less reason for pub- j InTfifT ?,ti,hold,hta "ice miu uiaw me iuii salary tor only a part or tne time he rendered service is, in my Judgment, improper and in excusable." CHARGES GRAFT Bristow Alleges Senator's Tele grams Paid by Government. Kansan Wrote Letter to Get $7,500 Job for Part of Time. Washington, July 18. A charge wmi ornaior Asnurst ot Arizona had "used $100 of public funds" to pay for telegrams that should have been paid for out of his own pocket, was made 1 in tne senate debate today by Senator101 Rristow. 1 t ucxiitriA li, i oiiciLor Asnurst denied it v u... i ttsitfta to proauce the telegrams to prove his charge Ashurst denied the charge absolute ly and "dared" Bristow to produce proofs.

The letter which precipitated the row was one Bristow had written to Senator Chester I. Long. May 2 7, 1906. "I think I would like to have one of those advisory places on the canal commission." it said. "They pay $7,500 and require a visit to the Isih mus once in three months.

Suspected Real Reason of Visit Has Aot Been Stated. JAPANESE DIPLOMATS BUSY Recently Rumored Japan Had Offered Troops for Mexico. Strange Diaz Leaves While Presidential Candidate. Mexico City, July 18. General Felix Diaz has been named special ambas sador to Japan. The published reason for this commission is to thank Japan for the latter's participation in Mex ico's centennial in. 1910 three years ago. For several months and even longer there have been rumors of" Japanese diplomatic activity in Mexico, and only recently a report was published that a secret emissary of Japan had made an offer of Japanese troops for use in Mexico. The sending of Diaz to Japan is considered as a clever stroke on the part of Provisional President Huerta to eliminate a presidential rival. It was Diaz who started the rebellion against Madero which resulted not in placing himself, but Huerta in control. But that Diaz is not merely leaving the country that he is going to Japan is taken by some to indicate that he may be just as wily in accepting, as Huerta i was in offering him the commission. He is expected to leave on Saturday and the president when formally con ferring the honor on him, said he hoped he would return to Mexico in time to be a candidate in the presidential elec tion which is called for October 26. General Diaz, however, would have to plan his trip carefully so that time would be left him for the completion of his program in the presidential cam paign. Approximately a month will be occupied In the trip to Japan and an other month in the return, as it will be necessary not to discredit the mis sion by too much haste in leaving Tokio. There never hi.s been any secret about the desire of General Diaz to stand for the presidency and that he should be a candidate was part of the agreement entered into by him wit. President Huerta as the price of peace in the capital. Huerta was to be the provisional president and Diaz was to name most of the cabinet, with the understand ing that he would be free to work out his own political future. Almost at once he was proclaimed the candidate for the presidency of many political clubs, but the growth of the rebellion ae-ainst the Huerta administration, in fior, t to the :fnapa,l,yofa election, resulted in placing him in a position where even many of his own partisans believed his election would be impossible. Vnnsually Nice to Japan's Ambassador Mexico City, July 18. An unusual honor is to be paid the new Japanese minister by the Mexican government. It is sending a commission consisting of one representative of the foreign office and two military attaches to meet him at the port of Manzanillo. Plans are being drawn up for a huge popular demonstration on his arrival here. Diaz Styled "Political Emigrant." Mexico City. July 18. General Felix "'O1- i Diaz, who has been appointed special ambassador to Japan to express the j thanks of Mexico to the Japanese tor tneir participation in mmiuu ccuieii- nial in 1910. is referred to today by the j newspaper El Pais in an editorial arti- I ag .,the politicai emigrant." The 1 article says Diaz is being sent out of the country and expresses the opinion that there will be no elections in Mex ico in the time fixed. El Independ iente also frankly expresses the opin ion that Diaz has been practically ex iled at least temporarily. Cabinet Studies Mexican Question. Washington, July 18. Considera tion of the Mexican situation took much of the time of the president and the cabinet at a meeting today. Secre- tary Bryan had a long conference with coming in Irom various sources, tne administration is looking forward to first hand information from Ambassa dor Wilson, who is on his way from Mexico City. It was again stated today the attitude or the administration sun was unchanged. It was reiterated that the cabinet unanimously was in accordance with the president in waiting a return to stable conditions before extending recognition. Several officials stated that the cabinet from the beginning had been of the opinion that changing conditions of Mexican politics war ranted the "hands off" policy for some time to come. Secretary Bryan authorized the statement that he would cancel any lecture engagement which would con flict with the conference next week he and the president will have with Ambassador' Wilson. Few of the members were not in clined to think any action would be taken following Ambassador Wilson's conference and reiterated the belief that until elections were held in Mex ico and an appearance of peace was in sight formal recognition would be withheld PLAN FAR AHEAD. Democrats Arrange for Love Feast In February, 1914. Because Washington's birthday comes on Sunday next year, the cdm mittee in charge of the annual Demo cratic banquet has arranged to hold the 1914 love feast on Monday, February 23. The announcement was made today following a meeting of the members of the committee. Plans are being made for handling the largest crowd that ever attended a dinner of the Kansas Democratic or- ganization Wllliam Jennings Bryan will be the guest of honor at the 1914 banquet and it is believed that his speech will bring hundreds of Demo j crats to Topeka for the occasion. In order to handle the crowd the au ditorium has been engaged for the evening and the galleries will be opened to visitors. In former years the banquets have been held in Ma sonic Temple. When President Wilson came to TopeTca in 1912, it was prac tically impossible to handle the crowd and a panic was narrowly averted when someone turned in a fire alarm in the course of the Wilson speech. Another change to be made in the 1914 program is in the reduction of the number of speeches. Formerly the committee provided a place for a speaker from each of the eight congres sional districts and placed the guest of honor last on the program. As a con sequence many people left on late night trains and missed the feature, at traction. Next year there will be but four speakers on the program Bryan and three Kansas Democrats. Names of Kansas who' are to respond to toasts have not been announced. THOUSANDS THERE All Trains Leading to Atchison Were Filled to Capacity. Most Successful Picnic Ever Given by Balie Waggener. Atchison, Kan., July 18. Twenty thousand Kansas children are guests today of Balie P. Waggener, veteran railroad attorney at his annual chil- dren's picnic. AH the expenses, even including railroad fare to Atchison, are borne by Mr. Waggener. Entertain ment provided Includes a free distribu tion of toys and flowers, automobile parades, land and water athletic con tests, baseball games, exhibition drill by the United States troops from Fort Leavenworth and day and night fire works. Balie P. Waggener, Who Gave His Annual Picnic Today. Governor Hodges and staff and three companies of the Kansas National Guard are here for the outing. The attendence today is greater than ever before, except during the visit of President W. H. Taft. two years ago. Twelve men were kept busy for two hours distributing souvenirs to the chil dren. The children passed the high school building and each was given a flag, pennant or horn. All trains entering Atchison this morning were crowded. A special on the Burlington from White Cloud had ten. coaches. The Central Branch train was made up of 16 cars. The Santa x e train rrom ropeka'was made up of eight cars and the train from Leav enworth had three extra coaches. In aaamon many came to the city in automobiles and it is believed that there are more cars in the city today than at any time In history. More than 100 were in the big parade. Marshall's band of ToDeka led the gigantic parade and was followed by a squad of cavalry. Governor Hodges and his staff followed. Then came the National guard from Hoyt, Holton and Lawrence. The children's section was especially attractive. More than 60 floats were entered in the floral pa rade. Many of these consisted of doll buggies and all were of a Juvenile character. The city officers are highly pleased with the success qf the police and other officers preventing accidents. There is not an ac cident known to have occurred in the en tire city. Main street is decorated from the union depot to Ninth street with corn carnival and national flags and many of the build- 1 ines have special decorations. The deco- j ration surpass anything ever before at- 1 tepmtea in Atcrason. The afternoon was spent at Forest park with band concerts and athletic events for the younger set. An unlimited supply of lemonade is on the grounds and is free. ON INSPECTION TOUR, Mayor Cofran Plans to Ride Eighth Street Car Line. Over Some day, when he can get them all to gether, Mayor Cofran says he is going to invite the members of the city commis sion and the newspaper men who make the city hall to be his guegts on a tour of inspection of the West Eighth street car line. He wants to learn, from riding on the line, in what condition it is, and wants the newspaper men as well as the city commission, to take cognizance of it. The mayor's resolve grew out of a letter from John E. Lord, received recently In which the charge was made that the iine in question is dangerous and irregular, and which asks that steps be taken by the commission to compel the street rail way company to put it in good shape. "The members of the commission and the newspaper men will be asked to taKe the trip at the expense of the mayor," Mr. Cofran said. "We want to know first hand what the situation is." KILLED AT EMMETT. Mexican Laborer Hun Down by Union Pacific Hand Car. Emmett Kan.. July 18. While coming from work on the Union Pacific railroad y terday evening one Mexican laborer was killed and three others injured in a hana car accident. There were several hand cars running close together and the car in the lead was derailed and those following could not be stopped in time to avoid the accident. TARIFF SURPLUS With Duties Lower Receipts Higher, Fignre Democrats. Estimated Surplus for Govern ment $2,020,000. INCREASE LIST FREE IMPORTS Senate Out-Does House in 3Iat ter of Free Listing. Income and Corporation Taxes to Help Materially. Washington, July 18. An average reduction of 27.64 per cent under the rates of the existing Payne-Aldrich tariff law is proposed by the Demo cratic Underwood-Simmons tariff bill upon which the senate began general debate today, according to the report of the finance committee majority sub mitted by the chairman. Senator F. M. Simmons. The report also shows that the bill as reported to the senate pro vides rates 4.22 per cent lower than the Underwood bill as it passed the house and that from it together with other government receiots for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, there will be an estimated surplus in the govern ment treasury of $2,020,000. A salient feature of this bill, it is pointed out is the large increase of imports to be admitted free of duty. Under the house bill the value of free listed imports, on the basis of 1912 im portations, was $103,000,000 whereas the Democrats of the senate in caucus by sweeping changes, propose to free list imports valued at $147,367,000, an in crease in undutiable imports over the house bill of $43,367,000. Balance In Favor of Government. Upon the basis of ten months for the coming fiscal year the report estimates (Continued on Page Eight.) CARS INJANSAS Licenses Have Been Issued for 28,534 Automobiles. Of These Shawnee County Has Been Granted 1,013. There are 28,534 automobiles and 4,205 motorcycles in Kansas, accord ing to records of applications for state licenses received in the office of Charles Sessions, secretary of state. The final date for making application for state licenses was July 15 and the record announced today is from license applications received up to and includ- j lng Tuesday's business, j Three counties in Kansas Sedg I wick, Reno and Shawnee each have more than 1,000 automobiles. Sedg wick heads the list with 1,436 ma chines, Reno is second with 1,121 li censes and Shawnee is third with 1,013 cars. Wyandotte, the largest county in the state, has but 482 auto mobiles and ranks as twenty-second on the list. Grant county, with eight automobiles, is at the bottom of the list, although there are six counties with 20 cars or less. Sumner county heads the list with the largest number of motorcycle tags and Shawnee is second. Sumner has a total of 223 motorcycles, while Shawnee has asked for 177 motorcycle licenses. That the records when finally com pleted will show 30,000 automobiles in Kansas, is the firm belief of many men who have watched the applica tions for licenses. It is the general belief that in many of the counties the car owners have neglected to make application for licenses and these ap plications may not be received for sev eral weeks. Then, too, Kansans. have bought many new cars this year and the total licenses issued by October 1 is expected to hit the 30,000 mark. A record of 5,000 motorcycles this year is also expected. Reports from the various counties indicate strongly the popularity of the automobile in the central and western counties. Many of these counties have passed the records made by the large str-n rnnntipji Snob pnnnttpa na Wyandotte, Leavenworth, Bourbon. I Franklin, Douglas and Atchison are second raters in the automobile class, according to the license applications from such counties as Dickinson, Mc pherson, Saline, Barton, Cloud and Rice counties. The record in the secretary of state's 1 office shows that 12 counties have more than 500 automobiles. Of this number Sedgwick, Reno and Shawnee are in the 1,000 class, leaving nine counties with more than 500 and less than 1,000 machines. These counties with the number of cars licensed are: Barton, 602; Brown, 614; Cloud, 637; Dickinson, 623; McPnerson, 575; Rice, 671; Saline, 559; Marion. 512; Sumner, 507. Then there are Wichita and Sheridan coun ties each with 20 cars; Stevens with 17. Stanton with 12, Greeley with 11, and Grant the low county on the list with 8 machines. Some of the big counties of the state which made sur prisingly low showings in their reports on cars owned in the county are: Wy andotte, 482; Atchison, 364; Leaven worth, 289; Crawford, 367; Labette. 262. Stafford county, with much less popu lation than either of these counties, made application for 455 automobile licenses. Every county in Kansas has its corps of motorcycle bugs except Ham ilton county. That county has not made application for a single motor cycle license. In addition to Sumner and Shawnee,- which head the list, Sedgwick requested 166 motorcycle tags, 152 went to McPherson county, 146 to Reno and 125 to Harper. Stanton coun ty has one motorcycle and three tags went to Hodgeman county. Wyandotte county requested 33 motorcycle tags. Automooile licenses are $5 and mo torcycle licenses are $2. Of this amount all but 15 per cent, reserved to cover expenses, goes into the permanent road fund in the counties in which the auto mobiles and motorcycles are owned. NEW FIGURE IN WAR IN BALKANS King Charles The declaration of war bv Kine Charles of Roumania against Bul garia brings a new central figure into the great tragedy of the Balkans. His consort is the famous poet-queen, who has written under tho name of "Car men Sylvia." Her majesty was born December 29, 1843, was formerly known as Princess Klizabeth of Wied and is the daughter of the late Prince Hermann of Wied and the Princess Maria of I Nassau. In November, 1869, she married Prince Charles of Roumania, second son of Prince Anthony of Ho- iienzoiiern. Amongst otner worKS she has published, "Thoughts of a yueen," "Shadows of Lif e s Dial, and "A Real Queen's Fairy-Book." A daughter born in 1870 died tour years later. King Charles' object in declaring war is territory he demands as a re ward for neutrality during the strug gle of the Balkan allies with Turkey. The declaration of war came as a severe blow to "Carmen Sylvia," a lifelong advocate of peace. She fainted when the king was first forced into calling out troops by the stub born demand of the premier and a threatened revolt of the populace. Roumania's war strength is esti mated at 600,000. BRISTOW INSISTS But Anti-Bryan Resolution Killed by Democrats. Is Euled Out of Order, bat Continues Talking. Washington, July 18. By a party vote the senate Democrats today suc ceeded without debate in tabling Sen ator Bristow's resolution aimed at Sec retary Bryan's proposed six weeks' lecture tour. The resolution would have called on President Wilson to ad vise the senate what salary would be sufficient to keep Mr, Bryan contin uously at his post, and was prompted by the secretary's public announcement that he was obliged to augment his pay of $12,000 a year by lectures to meet his living expenses. Senators Poindexter and Borah voted with the Democrats to table the resolution. The vote was 41 to 29. As Bristow faced the Democrat senators and declared: "You may shut off debate in the senate but you cannot convince the American people that a secretary of state may neglect the duties of his of fice for three months of a year.'" Vice President Marshall ruled Senator Bristow out of order. Bristow Refuses to Be Sbut Off. "It would be Just as reasonable for the attorney general to take three months off a year to practice law," j buuuibu Dcimwr cristow, wno refused to be shut out. "I think there is a condition before the country that should demand the attention of con gress and the administration power." "Are you really apprehensive," Inter rupted Senator Vardaman. a Democrat. that the business of the department will suffer because Mr. Bryan is occasionally away?" "It has been said since this discussion began," replied Senator Bristow, "that the state department Is better off with the secretary away than with him here. I believe if the secretary would give to the problms before him the powers of his great intellect, he could perform a great i i"e touniry. w netner subordi nates in his department are better fitted to attend to the duties than he, I do not know." Senior Fall suggested that If Secretary 1 Bryan had remained at his post, the sen- ate would have an answer to Ita resolu tion of April 24, asking for the amount of damages to victims of Mexican trou bles. RUSSIA HEADS LIST, Is Greatest I'ser of American Made Machinery. Washington, July IS. Russia is the largest purchaser of American agricul tural maenmeryj expert ngures or the bu reau of foreign and domestic commerce showing that $15,000,000 worth was sent to Russia during the fiscal year Just ended, against $7,000,000 to Canada, $ii.500,Oiio to Argentine. $4,000,000 to Germany and $3 500,000 to France. The exports of this class of manufactures to Russia exceed those of any previous year. This country ex- j ported $21,000,000 worth of agricultural ma- chinery in 1903 and $42,000,000 worth this year. Redistricting the City. The work of redistricting the citv in being pushed rapidly by W. H. Kemper, commissioner ot elections. He has ar-1 ranged the boundaries of all the precincts. but has not yet completed the work of compiling the poll books. In some in stances where alleys are the boundary lines of a precinct, Kemper has found It necessary to go out on the ground and find what house numbers are on one side or the other of the alley, to know in which precinct they belong. He is completing the field work as fast as pos sible, and expects to have it all done be fore long. The work of rewriting the poll books will then occupy considerable time, j GRIP ISJROKEN Relief From Extreme Heat Has Reached Kansas. Wind Shifts to Northwest, Bringing Lower Temperature. THURSDAY NIGHT MINIMUM 77 Ao Rain Has Fallen at Topeka for 17 Days Another Day Will Tie Record of July, 1901. The grip of the heat wave that has been scorching vegetation In Kansas was loosened early today when the wind shifted to a northerly direction, thus putting an obstacle in the way of the climbing mercury. The ther mometer reading at Topeka this morn ing at 9:30 o'clock was 84 degrees as against 90 degrees at tho eame hour Thursday. Thursday night was one of discom fort. The minimum temperature was 77 degrees and there was almost no air stirring. Thursday maximum temper atures at the government stations ranged all the way from 98 degrees at Dresden to 106 degrees at Concordia, Hanover, McPherson and Manhattan. The high mark reached on the top of the Mulvane building in Topeka was 102 degrees. An unofficial report from Junction City placed the maximum temperature for that place at 107 degrees. A re port from Abilene was to the effect that the same point was reached there by the mercury and that the corn is badly damaged by the hot winds and intense heat. Many fires in wheat fields have been caused by the dry weather according to reports from Clay Cen ter. Crop Conditions. In speaking of crop conditions "Sun ny" Flora, the local observer, said to day: "Every day is cutting crops. I do not think that anyone could make a guess as to what the crops would do in case of a rain. The rain would un doubtedly revive a whole lot of the corn that has apparently been cooked but not all of it. It would also revive a lot of the late potatoes." There is no rain in sight at present. This is the seventeenth consecutive day without rain at Topeka and an other clay will tie the record of July. 1901. The forecast calls for generally fair weather, with temperatures less severe There has been no rain in Kansas in the la&t 24 hours with the exception of .02 of an inch at Dresden In the northwestern part of the state where a drop of several degrees in tempera ture was recorded this morning. Tho river has dropped one-tenth of a foot at Topeka, the stage of the Kaw being 4.2 feet. Maximum Temperatures. Maximum temperatures Thursday at government stations were as follows: Concordia 106 degrees. Dodge City 100 degrees. Dresden 9 degreen. Kmporia 104 degrees. Fort Scott....... 104 degrees. Hanover 106 degrees. Hays 106 degrees. Horton 104 degrees. Iola 100 degrees. McPherson 106 decrees. Macksvllle 102 degrees. ?vlanhattan 106 degrees. Sedan 104 degrees. Wichita 100 degrees. TOPEKA 102 degrees. Six Degrees Cooler. Although the temperature at 2 o'clock this afternoon was six degrees below that of Thursday at the same hour the temperature for the day has been six degrees above normal for July 18. With the exception of July 11 the daily temperature this month has been above normal. The wind Is blowing at the rate of six miles an hour from the southeast. Wind from that direction usually brings rain but as the old saying goes, "All signs fail in dry weather." The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 81 8 o'clock 82 11 o'clock 89 12 o'clock 8S 1 o'clock 90 2 o'clock 9'J 9 o'clock 82 10 o'clock 84 SHED THEIR GOATS. Members Aprtear in the House la Shirt Sleeves.

Seth Lowe, president of the National Civic federa tion, an organization which was in strumental In smoothing the way for arbitration under the Newlands act of wage dispute between forty-five east ern railroads and their trainmen and conductors, came forward again today In an endeavor to straighten out the tangle arising from the roads' de mands that their grievances be arbi trated along with those of the men. Mr. Lowe, who has sided with the unions In their contention that the railroads could not properly inject their troubles into the situation at this stage, was to confer this afternoon with the conference committee of railroad managers In the hope that seme agreement might be reached. The stand of the trainmen and con ductors as voiced last night by their leaders, Messrs. Lee and Garretson, is that the roads acted In bad faith, de manding something not "even debata ble." This causes a deadlock In the proceedings. Washington, July 18. President Wilson has selected William L. Cham bers of the District of Columbia to be commissioner of mediation and con ciliation under the Newlands act, and G. W. Hanger as his assistant. The other two members of the new board will be Judge Martin Knapp of the United States commerce court, and Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor. An Immediate confirmation of the president's nominations is expected. Democrats and Republicans in both houses In congress Joined hands to put through promptly the Newlands bill with the hope of averting the threatened strike of 80,000 conductors and trainmen on eastern railroads. The companies and employees had agreed to submit their dispute to the new board. The board Is a permanent Institution to aid in the adjustment of disputes between railroads and thetr employees and the act creating It provided elaborate machinery for carrying on the work. The commis sioner and his assistant will devote all their time to their new duties but the other two members of the board will re tain their present federal positions and act as mediators only when called on. Judge Chambers, chosen to head the board was at one time chief Justice of the International court at Samoa and since 1901 had been a member of the Seaman treaty claims commission. In 3910 he was J selected as a third abltrator of the con- UDversy Deiwwn iuriy-nina niiinfitun operating in the territory west of Chi cago and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Ensrlnemen. He was selected for this task by Dr. Charles P. Netll, then commissioner of labor, and Martin A. Knapp. then chairman of the Interstate commerce commission, who were the oth er two mediators under the Erdman act. Mr. Hanger, who Is to be assistant to Judge Chambers, is chief statistician or the bureau of statistics and acting head of the bureau since the resignation of Dr. Nelll. He also has had much time to familiarize himself with labor contro versies. He has been chief statistician of the bureau since 1S67. Judge Knapp is presiding Judge of the United States commerce court and for a long time has been identified with govern ment arbitration movements. Mr. Post. Is assistant secretary of labor and as an editor and writer has long been an advocate of the single tax and allied reforms. POUNDING BALL AT CHAMPIONSHIP CLIP Amos Slrunk- Philadelphia, July 12.

MAKES HOT WAVE PAY Gotham Beggar dad in Storm Coat Reaps Harvest From Passersfoy. A man believed to be a professional beggar took advantage of the torrid weather to work on the sympathies of persona in the subway. The beggar, wearing a heavy storm ulster, got on a northbound Broadway express at 6 o'clock In the evening, at the Brooklyn bridge station. He found a seat in a corner of the car, and the perspiring passengers regarded him with surprise and pity. They noticed that the beg gar had a long beard, and that the storm collar of the great coat waa turned up and buttoned tightly about his neck. He seemed to be suffering much from the heat, for his lean face waa moist with perspiration. A sympathetic guard asked the beg gar why he was clothed for winter when most of the men in the car had cast aside their coats. The beggar re plied softly that he did not dare to open his ulster, as he wore no clothing underneath it. This information the guard communicated to several men in the car. One of them started a collection to get a suit of clothes for the poor man. He passed a hat from one passenger to another, and several dollars In silver were obtained for the beggar. He quit the car at the Grand Central station, thanking his benefac tors tearfully. After counting up the collection he crossed to the south bound platform of the station, where he got on a downtown express. He succeeded in arousing the sympathies of the passengers on the train, and another collection was taken up and turned over to him. When last seen he was hurrying to a northbound ex press at the bridge station. New Tork Times. FOR JIMMIE ERHART. Friends of Dead Boy Provide for His Burial. The funeral of little Jlmmie Erhart will be held In Bomgardner's chapel at S o'clock this afternoon. Rev. A. S. Clark .of the Seward Avenue M. E. church, officiating. The employees of the Wolff Packing company, where Jlmmie was well known, the employees of the Santa Fa, and the donation of a grave by J. W. Fisher of the Mount Auburn cemetery, along with other contributions by friends make it possible to give the body a s. i table resting place. Jimmie. although he had only one leg, was a goad swimmer, and while bathing In the Kaw river Wednesday evening, ventured too close to where the big dredge of the Topeka Sand company was working. He was struck by the heavy steel shovel and was fatally injured, dying at Stormont hos pital early the next morning. The Erhart boy lost his leg about seven years ago while trying to get on a freight train in the Union Pacific yards in North Topeka and the Injur ed member gave him so much trouble that the leg had to be amputated the second time. There have been many contributions left at the undertaking office of Bomgardner and more will probably be received later. CHAPPELLE AT$18,000 Comlskey Gives Out Terms of Bill of Sale for Fielder.

STICK TO WATER Bristow Advises Bryan to Gire Up Grape Juice. He Says the Kansas Drink Is More Economical. COULD THUS tm ENDS MEET And Live Within His $12,000 Annnal Salary. Insists That Kebraskan Should Best During Vacation. Washington. D. C, July 18. Wil liam Jennings Bryan Is coming In for a heap of severe criticism from Dem ocrats as well as Republicans for his statement that he must lecture to give him sufficient funds to pay expenses while holding a cabinet office. He says that his salary of $12,000 a year Is too little to meet expenses of main taining himself as a cabinet official and at the same time keeping up his Nebraska home. "The author of the dollar-dinner crusade," remarked Senator Joe Bris tow, the Progressive senator from Kansas, "seems to have changed his habit of life. "I am surprised that he finds that he and bis wife cannot live on $1,000 a month. "Men go away on vacations so that they may recuperate their strength and render better service for the re mainder of the year. The man who uses his vacation to earn money and exhausts his physical and mental pow ers by so doing is not treating his em ployer right, if the employer is paying him a salary during vacation. "If Mr. Bryan will follow the sound Kansas doctrine of serving only pure spring water on his table In place of this nauseating grape Juice." con tinued Mr. Bristow. "I feel sure he will have no trouble In living within his salary. I understand that grape Juice Is ,z I cheaper than champagne, but It :v:iand disturbing the peace. He was re- whole matter lies In cold water." On the whole. Joe believes In the simple life, such as they live out in Kansas. TEST NEW ARTILLERY. Americans Fonnd Nothing New Balkan Operations. in Washington, July 18. Brigadier Gen. Hunter Liggett, president of the army war college and CoL Edwin St. John Greble of the general staff of the army will go to Sandy Hook, N. J., next week to witness test firing of new field ar tillery. The new pieces evolved during the past year and a half, are a 3.8 inch howitzer designed to fire a 30 pound projectile and a 4.7 inch Ku i which fires a 60 pound projectile. The latter is a heavier gun than that with which most field batteries are armed. Both of these guns have been evolved in this country Independent of obser vations made abroad by officers. An ordnance officer said today that no new ideas in ordnance had been gleaned by the United State officers who observed the progress of the Bal kan war, as the Balkan states end Turkey obtained their Ideas for the most part from French and German sources which long have been available to the American army.

Adv. Elizabeth says: "I am troubled with a constant headache which also affects my eyes. My breath is awful, as I have a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat."

A catarrh balm should be used wit! this. This Is made by mixing one ti ppoonful of Vilar.e powder with one ounc of lard or vaseline and apply well up ir.tT the nostrils twice a day. If this is used dally your catarrh will soon vanish It ahould. however, be u'sd cecassionaUy to prevent a return of the disease. "C.

Topeka at Denver. Wichita at Lincoln. St. Joseph at Sioux City. Des Moines at Omaha. Dick Cooiey's league in southern California has "blown up." Spencer Abbott returned to Topeka Weinesday, after having presided as owner of the team at Pasadena for a time. Abbott will look over the conditions in the Federal League and it is pro- bable that he and Cooley will cast their j lot with the new organization. Cooley j will return to this section of the coun- j try in about two weeks, and Abbott j will do some scouting. J The Western League season is little j more than half over but the Kaws have played one game less than one half. They have six postponed games to play off. i It is said that the ascensions made by the pitchers this season are because the cork centered ball has more life in it than ever before and that the batters are enabled to drive it witn more speed. Dale Gear, manager of v,a x.-qtx7 cH-e thi as one of the rea- sons for the pitching performances and believes that the various clubs will find it necessary to change pitchers frequently during the entire season.

The Sioux City team may es cape this for a time as the Wichita and Topeka teams are on the road and playing the best teams on the circuit, while the Sioux City team is playing at home. Players on the circuit complain of the location of the "bull" sign on the To peka grounds. It is located in extreme right field and has been hit but once. Cy Neighbors, with Sioux City, was the lucky man on this occasion. It is contended that the sign should be moved to a- location where some of the batters could hit it occasionally. As it Is an advertising feature, and put there for that purpose, the officers oi the tobacco company might get moro for their money by donating $30 to the jackpot occasionally, and" to do this, it will be necessary to move the bull sign on the grounds in Topeka.

St. Joseph News-Press: Big Chief Johnson will be fined J10 in cold, hard cash the next time he throws a curve ball. At the same time he will be set back the same amount for every time thereafter he violates the order. This restriction was placed on the Indian pitcher by Joe Tinker, manager of the Cincinnati Reds. The order came as a result of an accident recently in which one of the Cincy catchers was hurt by one of Chief's slant balls. Johnson has such a big curve that the backstops have a hard time holding him, and for that reason they seldom, if ever, call for one of them. In a let ter to Ezra Harrison Chief George said that the ban placed on his curve ball was what made him go bad for a while. He said he hoped to start pitching in his regular turn soon, and that he felt sure that he would go good. Johnson was on the sick list, with a cold, for quite a spell, which accounted for the fact that he was not used for some time. He twirled the last part of the game started by Ben ton Monday, in which the Reds were defeated by the Giants. 5 to 3. That he went good was shown by the fact that he fanned five men.

Topeka's population Is now around the 50,000 mark anl when the time comes for the taking of the next fed eral census it will be nearer 60,000. Prices paid for slaves in ante-bellum days were picayunish. Indeed, when compared with those that pre vail today in the baseball slave mart. As the Christian Science Monitor observes: It should likewise be taken into consideration that when a strike is finally settled the public will have to settle for it. Having; tried the hunger and thirst strike, why don't the English suffra gists try the air strike? Only a few minutes without breathing would be re quired to bring results. It Is a good thing for many and divers United States senators that talk is cheap. If it were not, a number of them would assuredly go broke before the tariff debate is concluded.

Till: PARKS NEED SEATS. Of what particular value are fine parks to a city. If they are not pro vided with the facilities so that all of the people can enjoy them to the full est extent? Topeka has such parks, several of them real beauty spots, with magnificent shade trees that would be most serviceable to many during sweltering; afternoons. Tet few, compar- atlvely speaking, are the people who can enjoy the advantages of these hruthin? nnt itrir dnrimr the day o time or the evening. And this is true because the seats In the parks are scarcer than the proverbial hen's teeth. Perhaps it is not exaggerating in t.ie slightest to state that Topeka is one of j the few civilized communities in the whole world that hasn't Its parks fllle.1 with seats for the multitudes. In fact, in most cities in this and other coun tries an adequate number of seats is placed In the parks before they are im proved and beautified with flowerbeds, or equipped with fountains, pergol-AS, and things of that sort. Why even, down in Mexico, that appears to be about as far removed from civilization as possible, there Isn't a public square in any town whose paths and walks are not filled with seats. But in Topeka. the only folk who can enjoy the delights of the parks are the owners of automobiles and car riages. They can drive In and around the parks ana take m mejr pru, t vistas, their welcome shade and cool- ing restfulness at their ease. Numer ically, though, and In comparison with the bulk of the population, these people are really a favored few. The" great majority of Topekans have to get about on shanks' mares or street cars. For them the parks are little better than useless. After a person has walked a few blocks to a park on a hot day or a warm evening, he feels like sitting down and resting. But that is impossible, al most, in the Topeka parks, unless a seat is taken in the grass, and then the festive chigre gets busy. What a boon it would be to count less Topekans, for instance, if the walks through the state house grounds wee lined with seats. Of course, this is state property. But the state would not refuse the city permission to place seats there. That much can be taken for granted. Neither would any of 'he attractiveness of this spot be destroyed by such seats. The same sort of a boon would be conferred by seats in all the city parks. Topeka has spent much money on Its parks during the past few years, and It Is a shame that some of it was not diverted to the purchase of seats. But this is an error that can be rec tified in short order, if the commis sioner of parks and his conferees on the the city commission are so disposed. And if they can spend $500 of the city funds to assist in the taking of a social survey of the town, they surely ought to be able to find a way to make a necessary appropriation to equip the parks with seats. Even a small he ginning In this direction would be ap preciated by the people of the city. As a matter of fact, what's the use of having parks, that only a small number of the citizens can enjoy. HIGH SCHOOL AM CITIZENSHIP. "High-school teachers of social science and history have the best opportunity-ever offered to improve the citizenship of the land," says Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States bureau of education. Dr. Jones believes that the 1,300,000 boys and girls now in American high schools form the largest group of persons any where in the world who can be guid ed into acquiring the "social point of view" by means of the subjects of so cial science and- history taught in the modern way. "Good citizenship should be the di rect aim of the high-school courses in soc-.al science and history," he de clares. "Good citizenship is the test that must be applied to every topic in these courses. Facts, conditions, the ories, activities which do not contrib ute directly to the appreciation of methods of human betterment have no claim on the time of the high school pupil." Dr. Jones points out that under this test civics must not be merely a study of government machinery, but a study of all manner of social efforts to improve mankind. "Every pupil should know, of course, how the pres ident of the United States is elected: but he should also understand the duties of the health officer in his com munity. It is the things near at hand and socially fundamental that should be taught first of all. Comparatively few persons have any need of knowl edge of congressional procedure, but every citizen should know what are the chances of employment for the average man." Proposed topics in this newer high school civics are: Community health, housing and homes, pure food, pub lic recreation, poverty and the care of the poor, crime and reform, family income, savings banks and life insur ance, human and material resources of the community, human rights versus property rights, impulsive ac tion of mobs and the selfish conserva tion of tradition, public utilities, like street-car lines, telephones, and light and water plants. "The purpose is not to give the pu pil an exhaustive knowledge of any of these subjects, but to give him a clue to the significance of these things to himself and to the community, and to make him want to know more about the conditions under which he lives. It is to help him to think civ ically, and, if possible, to live civ ically." "Treaty Tree" Dying. Washington Irvings great treaty tree at Sleepy Hollow, in the Philipse manor section, lost its last three leaves recently. Tourists and visitors have noted with much concern for over a year that It was dying.

They had always been "Just pals" even from school days when Jimmy had invariably let Caroline carry home her own books. In fact, many times Caroline had carried Jimmy's that he might skip off untrammeled to a game of ball in the field or to hunt birds' eggs. It is true that Jimmy always made offer of duplicate eggs to Caroline, but not unless he had two of the species. Naturally enough as they grow up together each relied upon the other as an ever-ready comrade. They had attended all of the youthful dances together simply because Caroline's parents would not permit her to go with a stranger, and Jimmy had been quite content. Caroline was so easy to entertain and her programme was swiftly filled without trouble on his part. Altogether, any other girl would have bored Jimmy because he was not a boy given to flattery and cajolery. "I don't have to. tell you every time we dance together that you are the best of the lot," he often remarked with frank admiration. "I hope the fellow you hook up to some day will appreciate you." "We will have to try to fall in love about the same time, Jimmy," laughed Caroline, "otherwise we will miss each other fearfully. "I think I would be one of those lost souls,'' he promptly informed her. Later, when Jimmy had been ac cepted into a large firm of interior decorators it was to Caroline he in variably turned with his newest de signs and ideas. "How is that?" he would exclaim with eagei longing for praise. What Caroline lacked in creative art she possessed doubly in an appre ciative sense a correct estimate of i l"'ucs. ul uuiur. Jimmy sometimes scoffed at and sometimes accepted her suggestions. "If I marry a man wealthy enough to permit it I will give you the con tract for my house, Jim," she told him after having admired a particu larly wonderful scheme of coloring for a breakfast room. "Find the man, Caroline it may bring me fame and fortune," he sug gested. "Perhaps he is waiting out West for me," laughed Caroline. "If he should be I will shorten my visit and return here to give you the contract." 'You might telegraph it," laughed Jimmy and drew a lomr sleh. "Bv jove! It will be lonesome this summer." "maybe you will let me kiss you good by this time when I go "Just try me?" laughed Jimmy. It had been no idle threat with Caro line, for when she left for the West and her train was all put puffing away from New York she stood on tiptoes and kissed Jimmy goodby.

Perhaps he had never before noticed that her letters exhaled a soft fragrance. That day Jimmy made some splendid designs and rejoiced that the work on Caro line's apartment was nearing com pletion. He had found it more dif ficult than he had supposed it would be to decorate a home for Caroline and another man. A few days later he met her at the station. Jimmy looked swiftly Into her eyes when she put slim fin gers that trembled into his. "Does love do all these things to you?" he asked, with a laugh that was not the Jimmy laugh. "The laughter has gone from your eyes and your smile is wistful. Who is the man he said with an attempt at mockery. "I would like to con dole with him."

"The world has not grown wonderfully big and bright to me." Caroline glanced wistfully Into Jimmy's eyes, but remained silent until the taxi stopped and she and Jimmy stood together within the daintily furnished apartment that was his masterpiece. "Perhaps you have never ques- tioned yourself about being in love, Jimmy," Carolin said, and her voice was deep and true. "I did not know that I was until I questioned myself thoroughly, and Her fingers had twined about his arm and Jimmy went rather white. "Don't!" he said swiftly. "It is too late for me to question myself I love you, Caroline." The girl laughed softly and slipped into his arms. "I knew it," she cried Joyfully. "Now let's look at our house!" And when Jimmy let her speak again she added, "You might have known there would never be any man but you in my life." (Copyright 1913 by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) EVENING CHAT BT ROra. CAJCKROX, Two Kinds of Memory. Did you ever happen to notice in study ing yourself and those around you, that there are two distinct kinds of memory possessed by different people; the mental memory and the visual memory. That is, some people remember every thing as facts in relation to other facts, while other people remember everything visually as if their minds contained actual photographic imprints of the scenes or events. Perhaps that isn't entirely plain to you. Let me try to make it simpler by a con crete example. I have a friend who has the visual mem ory in a very strong form. Now, I have a terrible faculty for losing things. One day when I was shopping I met this friend. We talked for two or three min utes and then I passed on. Some time during the day I managed to mislay an important bundle. To assist me in my investigations, I wanted to find at what time I lost it and so I called up my friend and asked her if I had that bundle in my possession when she saw me. She knew at once. "Yes, you had it under your right arm." she said. "You had two smaller bundles under your left arm, and your wrist bag on your left wrist." I have no doubt that she could have gone on and described every detail of my costume from the crown of my hat to the rubber heels on my walking shoes. That's what I mean by visual memory. Now I have a mental memory. I could have told exactly what we two said, but except that my friend wore something blue and looked very nice, I couldn't have called up a single visual detail of our meeting. This girl and I went to the same school and studied together. Some times we would want to turn to some passage in a book we had studied, and she would say, "It was on the right hand page near the bottom," while I would know that "It was right after that part about Charlemagne." She remembered dates by the looks of them; I. either by a sheer effort of will, or by some associated fact. I can never remember how people look; I cannot even clearly call up the facts of those I love best when I am absent from them. Fugitive glimpses will sometimes come to me uncalled, but when I make a deliberate effort to recall a face I canfiot get it at all. Descriptions of places in fiction bore me to extinction. I was talking about this to a friend with whom I read a great deal. She enjoys them Immensely, and by comparing jioteg we came o the con clusion that this is because she is a visual thinker and gets a mental picture, while I, being a mental thinker, get none. Perhaps "picture thinker" and "thought thinker" might be better terms to describe these two classes. It is always interesting to analyze one's self, because one is sure of an interesting subject and an interested audience. So perhaps you'd like to decide to which class you belong. ON THE SPVR Ot Thh MOMENT BY ROY K. MOULTON. Your Town. Said old man Haskins, with a frown "A man is a fool fer to knock his town. It's easy to find faul all day long. It doesn't take brains fer to do that stunt; It's simple to knock and to grouch and grunt And say that everything's going to pot, Whether it's exactly true or not. And crabbin' a town, fur as I kin see i Don t never brin no prosperity. If yu find that you've got to growl about lour town it is lime iu ciean piuino oul And hide your discontented face, And let the folks stay who enjoy the place. Just wrap your duds In a nice round pack And beat it down to the railroad track. When the train pulls out, you kin shake your fist. And go your way; you will never be missed; For there ain't no room on the old home roost For the feller who doesn't know how to boost. There are lots of men who can't earn their salt 'Cause they spend all their time a'finding fault. The booster's the boy who knows his cue. And he sticks right to it through and l. i r. U If he has kind things of his town to tell It's dollars in his jeans and he knows it well. And the feller who finds fault, day and night. Will never find a town that will suit him quite." The Diary of a Bonehead. Genius is a grand thing if you can make it work, but today 1 teel like a six-cyun der eenius who is hitting on only about two cylinders and getting only about four miles out. or 1 t:" J aiiuum getting fourteen. One week ago today I committed mur der. I didn't exactly do it myself, but I hired my neighbor's hired man to do It. I was an accessory after the fact, or I should probably say an accessory after the cat, for the victim was Caruso of the Alley Fence, my wife's favorite feline songbird, who had caused us to fall into disgrace in our neignoornooa. I saw Caruso properly murdered and buried out back of the barn under a ton of cobblestones. When my wife discovered that the cat was missing she put up a wail which brought back fond recollections of the late lamented. "A-ha," said I, and here was where the genius came in. "A-ha," said I. "Your cat has probably wandered away. I will offer a reward of $25 for his return." This pacified the lady and I winked at myself and giggled inwardly for I knew Caruso was buried In five feet of earth under a ton of cobblestones. This morning fourteen boys arrived, each with, a cat and each hoping to win the reward. There were cats of every race, color ana previous conamons ui servitude. I looked on In mild amusement while my wife examined the cats. I was content. I would never have to remove that $25 reward money from the bank. Suddenly, to my horror, she identified one of the animals as Caruso. The strange cat and the late lamented Caruso looked as much alike as two KepuDilcans in Ala bama. You couldn t have told them apart. The happy lady hugged the strange cat to her breast and I handed $25 to the grimy patriot who had brought him. I learn one thing every day. Today I learned that the art of getting rid of a cat does not call for genius. It calls for stolid indifference and grim determination. Caruso I is still burled among the cob blestones and Caruso II is making night hideous for the neighbors. RjtNSAS COMMENT "PEP." It i. n- .v.- word "pep," but It Is coming into such common usage that one need not be sur- Prised if it eventually finds it way into the dictionary. What is pep? Pep is energy. But it is even more than this. "rles oi grit, courage, resolve, ae- and a man has confidence in himself and Is filled with hope of the future. He Im virile, self-dependent and competent. But eliminate this essential ingredient of character and you have the mere shell of a man, the hopeless, objectless husk of a human being incapable of consistent effort and therefore without possible chance of achieving success in anything. The man with the pep is the man with a purpose. He believes in others and he believes In himself. Who has the pep? Your neigh bor who started with nothing and built up a business despite the difficulties that narassea mm at tne outset, lie s a man who never lost his pep. And again the woman who has reared a family of level headed children that know how to get on in the world and reflect credit on them selves and their parents, never lost her pep or there would be a different story to tell in her declining years. Every person who plods on dcing and accomplishing and mastering problems as they arise, is possessed of Ihe pep. Pep is what makes life worth the living. Parsons Sun. A SHEMK FOR UNION. News from Mexico indicates that Mexi can leaders have hit upon what seems to be a scheme to unite the wrangling ele ments of the troubled republic. Should any foreign foe Invade Mexico it is very likely that the local dissensions would ba harmonized by a concerted effort against the invader. Throughout Mexico there has been much anti-American feeling. It looks as if this is now being used in an effort to restore peace between the warring factions. The United States offi cially has no intention of being aggressive against Mexico. Uncle Sam is a long suffering and very patient spectator to the ups and downs of Mexican administra tions. If by any chance the United States should become involved in Mexico It would be with the object of bringing gov ernmental order and peace out of condi tions of chaos and anarchy. If Mexico can be harmonized and settled down to the ways of peaceful business by um brage towards the United States this will be another way towards fulfilling exactly what the public on this side of the border would like to see culminated. Wichita Eagle. FROM OTHER PENS UNDERPAID TEACHERS. A report received by an investigat ing committee of the National Edu cation association says that the salary of an elevator boy at a certain city hall exceeds the established wage for a teacher in one of the school grades of the same municipality by nearly $100 a vear. Absurd, of course, and un just, but this is no isolated instance of the underpayment of educated work ers charged with the duty or instruct ing the rising generation in America. Thousands of them, spread through out the southern states, receive less than J150 per year. Taking the coun try as a whole, figures compiled re cently by a division of the Sage Foun oation show the following annual wage averages: Carpenters, $Mt2; coal miners, $600; factory workers, $530; common laborers, $313; teachers. $185. Surely the pedagogical profession will fall to continue to attract the most com petent young men and women If H9 members are to be compelled more and more to seek supplementary employ ment in order to live decently and make both ends meet. Today some oi them are writing plots for moving picture plays outside school hours (the investigators say) and others are serv ,ng as bookkeepers, waitresses and chauffeurs, preaching the Gospel, and keeping hens. Boston Globe. A REMORSELESS ENEMY OF MAN. It is startling to be informed, on no less authority than that of the eminent medical men who are active in the new American Society for the Control of Cancer, that the disease they are fight ing is one of the greatest menaces to human life beyond the age of 40 years perhaps greater even that tuberculo sis. Only recently have statistical data from local boards of health been gathered with sufficient competeness-to make it possible to approximate the full extent of cancer's ravages. It is a dis ease that hides, while under the pres sure of modern legislative measures tuberculosis comes out in the open. The difficulty of locating cancer lias been partly responsible for the fact that popular apathy concerning its preva lence could be scarcely less marked If the danger were no greater than that from measles or whooping cough. Phy sicians who have been crying the alarm have been heard for a moment and then forgotten. But while we are de pressed by the proportions of the men ace, we are encouraged by the assertion implied in the name of the new or ganizationthe Society for the Control i of Cancer. The Society makes plain not only through its title but by means of its publications, its positive belief that cancer can be controlled. It con fidently asserts that the number of deaths from this cause can be greatly reduced, principally by treating it in the early stages, but also, in many cases, when the disease is advanced, the main precept emphasized Is prompt detection and skillful medical and sur- gical attention in accordance with the most advanced ideas on the subject. It is little short of suicidal to allow a can cerous growth to progress in the falso hope that It may be some other dis ease. Physicians, as well as the pub lic, have a responsibility here, and one that must be met if an effective be ginning is to be made to any campaign directed against this appalling scourge. Failure to find the cause and the means of preventing cancer should not dis courage efforts for Its alleviation based on the extent of knowledge that is now available. Baltimore News.

The Lum bermen's Portland Cement company here has quit business. Carpenters have been busy two' days nailing up the doors and windows. The owners of the plant have given up the mill. The Lumbermen s .Portland uement company came to this town with great expectations. It was organized on the idea of selling stock to lumbermen who control the cement selling busi ness, and big blocks of stock were dis posed of. The principal inducement to stock buyers was that natural gas would supply the fuel necessary for many years. But the gas failed and a receiver was put in charge before the plant was finished. The big stock holders rallied and made an effort to run the plant, but the burden was too heavy. Thousands of dollars were sunk by the small purchasers of stock, and these, of course, are sorely disap pointed. The fate which has over taken this institution was predicted from the beginning by those who were wise to the cement situation. L. M. PENWELL Undertaker and Embalmer. THOMAS E. JONES, Assistant.

Hutchinson. Kansas July IS. On the witness stmd today Sam Graybill, state live stock sanitary commissioner admitted that the fight of the Demo crattic state administration to oust M. K. Amrine as superintendent of the Hutchinson state reformatory was a political frame up. Graybill's admis sion came only after a stubborn "fight in which the defense dragged from the Hodges appointee the confession that the charges against Amrine were filed purely for political purposes. It was Graybill who swore to the charges against Amrine and it is generally be lieved by persons who heard the tes timony that Graybill's own evidence has outlined the finish of the case. Practically all of Thursday afternoon and until 10 o'clock at night Graybill was on the witness stand. Apparently Graybill's memory had slipped a cog. Time after time his recollection was hazy as to events, conversations and his own instructions to Amrine regard ing the quarantine of the reformatory stock herd. Through the testimony was a decided tinge of bitterness on tne part of the witness which showed that his personal feeling toward the defend ant was not one of friendliness. This afternoon, when Graybill left the stand, practically none of the charges against Amrine had been clearly sub stantiated.

Ave. the rebate association so that all re- j eral manner was the Seventh district Democratic cnairman aoie to convey to the penal board his assertions that Amrine had violated his oath of office and acted as a manner that warranted action on the part of the state admin istration. Graybill was taken through a course of cross-examination that left him with a flagging memory and uncer tainty as to events. Cross Examination. Asked on cross-examination if he knew personally that the charges against Amrine were true and if he knew they were true at the time he signed the complaint, Graybill smiled and admitted that he did not. Then suddenly Graybill was asked if the en tire plan to oust Amrine was not for political reasons and was not framed up at a meeting in the governor's of fice. The witness Dractically crucified the administration's case by admitting that the statement was true. Things didn't stop here. Amrine was charged in Graybill's complaint with giving out interviews which re flected on the state administration and made him guilty of dereliction of duty. Asked if he had not advised Amrine to make such statements as would put his attitude regarding the quarantine in a clear light. Speaker W. L. (Iron jaw) Brown, as chairman of the penal board, admitted that he had given the superintendent such advice. Brown admitted that he had told Amrine that it was all right to give out such inter views as would prove a proper de fense of his actions and if possible clear him of the charges made by members of the Democratic adminis tration and insinuations contained in newsnaner interviews. Late this afternoon Amrine himsell went on the stand. Such charges aa' remain against his record, tne. reiorm-. atory superintendent will endeavor .to clear up and it is probable that his testimony will require the greater por tion of the afternoon session. Members of the penal board, which Is -hearing the- evidence, in the case, expect to close the hearing tonight. Whether a decision in the case will be given at once, has not been indicated by any of the members. Relies on Letter. Hutchinson. Kan.. July 18. That M. F. Amrine will rely chiefly on a letter from the state board of health to acquit him of the charge of violating the Graybill quarantine orders was indi cated in the evidence in the action to oust Amrine from the superintendency of the Hutchinson state reformatory. It is the contention of Amrine and S. J. Simmons, his attorney, that Graybill could in no manner be concerned re garding the feeding of milk from the tubercular cattle herd, since the juris diction over the milk in question was in the board of health. Sam Graybill, state live stock sani tary commissioner, was on the witness stand nearly a half a day. He was grilled and pounded by Simmons and on several occasions refused to answer questions. Graybill refused to admit that the charges against Amrine were filed for political purposes and for the single object of obtaining another slice of political pie to be handed to the faithful. Once, in the course of the cross fire between Simmons and Gray bill. Speaker w L. Brown as chairman of the board stopped Simmons and re fused to permit him to proceed with his line of questioning. Simmons then returned to the direct charges against Amrine. In the complaint against the Hutch inson superintendent, it was charged that Amrine violated the laws of the state and the order of the live stock commissioner when he ignored a quar antine order and fed tuberculosis milk to the several hundred inmates of th: reformatory. Answering this charge Amrine produced a letter from the state funds of fare will be made through the association.

New York. July IS. Messrs Lee and Garretson made public this afternoon the text of a bulletin which is being sent to members of the unions advising them of the state of things. It states the railroads demand for arbitration and continues: "It is needless to say that no arbi tration embodying those propositions will even be considered, and if insisted I upon by the managements only one re- j suit can follow, namely: I "The setting of the hour for retire ment from the service. "Local chairman will remain out of duty until otherwise instructed by their general chairmen or the undersigned and will remain where communications from the general chairman by wire or letter, will reach them promptly." The bulletin is now in the mails on its way to the 84,000 members of the organization. I the board thought that the milk would not endanger health if properly boiled. It was acting on this suggestion. Am rine says, that he refused to observe the tiraybill instructions. Immediately S. N. Brewster on the part of the state replied that the board of health could not interfere in the orders of the stock commissioner and that Amrine as sumed all risks when he failed to ob serve the quarantine. Virtually all of the fight for Amrine's job will center around that quarantine order. If he can convince the penal board that he did not violate the quarantine laws and has been faithful in his service, then it will be difficult to remove him from office. On the other hand Graybill's orders were of an offi cial nature and so strong was the sen timent against Am'rine's orders to use the tuberculous milk, that the refor matory superintendent Is now under arrest on a state charge for violating the quarantine. All of these features were brought before the penal board in the evidence. A final nliartra in Tn iioa Ka effect that Amrine permitted a paroled prisoner to stay in a disorderly house, is one of the links in the case against Amrine. Evidence, both verbal and in the form of affidavits, w-as offered con cerning this last charge. That Matt Aubert, formerly an inmate of the re formatory, stayed for a time in a house of questionable repute, was brought Dr. Harvey Boughton, the English nerve specialist, recently said, in an ad dress, that all neurasthenics that is, people with unhealthy nerves have nothing more than nerves that are dry. and suffer from an insufficiency of fluid in the tissues of the body, which really go to make up the body's lubrication. Most people, he says, probably suffer in a degree from this, even though they are not conscious of any definite symptoms. He believes this disease could easily be eradicated if people would only supply the system witn plenty of good, clear, cold water. The human body is so adjusted that one part cannot suffer without all oth er parts suffering. If by neglect our nerves are dried up through lack of fluid, then it is a certainty that the wheels of our intricate body machinery are being clogged by reason of waste matter which is not washed away. j It can be readily seen that by the use of water a threefold service is! done. It .feeds, it washes and it car- j ries away the cinders of the body fur- I nace, and through the want of it we are exposed to many and great dan gers. The tissues become too dry, the blood becomes thick, unhealthy and flows sluggishly, and the retained waste of the body sets up a condition which the doctors call "autointoxica tion." or self poisoning. This condition may give rise to al most any known symptoms, from the simple pimple to heart failure, and is really responsible for most of the semi-invalids with whom the world is largely peopled. Dr. Boughton then gave certain rules which he said would tend to make for a healthier and happier body. He observed that people do not all need the same amount of water, and it may take a little experimenting to find out how much should be taken in each case. It has been stated by physicians that five or six pints should be taken during the 24 hours. Of this, he said, only a moderate quantity should be taken with the meals, but it was a great mistake to take no water with the meals, but that it was a greater mistake to wash food down with water, especially with ice water. Dr. Boughton said the best time for water drinking is at night time and early in the morning, and it is well to form the habit of slowly sipping, dur-i ing the bath and while dressing, two or three glasses of cold though not) ice cold water, and then to sip two j or three more glasses at bedtime, and again two or three more glasses an hour or two before luncheon and be fore dinner. Then the doctor assured his audi ence that in a very short time the value of this habit would become ap parent in the general improvement of digestion, temper and appearance. New York American.

How the Na tional Association of Manufacters pro posed to concentrate its energies, if necessary for the re-election of former Speaker Cannon In the 1908 campaign was described in one of the first of the "Mulhall letters" brought before the senate lobby committee today. Mulhall was about one-third through his stack of correspondence when the commit tee resumed. The letter bearing on Cannon was written to Mulhall by Secretary Schewdtman of the manu facturers, August 17, 1908, and declar ed all energies would be concentrated in Cannon's district if there is the "slightest occasion for It." A letter from Mulhall to former Repre- i sentative Loudenslager of New Jersey, said the manufacturers had field work ers out in the campaign In many New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana dis tricts. Senator Reed questioned Mul hall about Congressman Bartholdt. "I have always understood Schwedt man and Van Cleave looked after Bar tholdt, and that the brewery interests helped," replied Mulhall. The committee decided to hear imme diately S. W. McClave, Republican can didate for congress in the Sixth New Jersey district where a special election is to be held Tuesday. Mulhall testified yesterday ha had run McClave's campaign against Wil liam Hughes in 1910. McClave today wired Senator Cummins he would leave Jersey City at noon and the commit tee decided to hear him as soon as he reached Washington. The cross-examination of Mulhall, on McClave yes terday aroused the ire of the two Re publican members of the committee who declared it was an attempt to play politics. Schwedtman wrote Mulhall August 26, about the situation in In diana, which he said was very critical, and ended: "I want to take a trip with you into Indiana for the specific purpose of laying these good people over our knees and giving them the kind of a spanking they ought to have." In August a fight in the Eleventh Wisconsin district, where John J. Jenkins was up for re-election, appar ently was worrying the manufacturers. Edward Hines, the Chicago lumber man who figured in the Lorimer case, came into the hearing again today. Mulhall swore that in a letter to the manufacturers August 27 Hines spoke of a promise to send $1,000 go "into the right channel to be used for legitimate purposes." In the Jen kins district, Schwedtman wrote Mul hall on August 28: "I don't consider Teddy, nor Taft, nor Sherman, nor Foraker, nor the rest of those great men equal to Van Cleave, Parry, Kirby and the others who have given freely of their energy and their money to the great cause which is expressed in the principles of the National Association of Manufac turers."

Ave. Today THE MOST TAIKED OF PICTURE OF THE DAY Tom orrow HUGHES FORFEITS. Concedes Challenge Golf Match to Bob Peebles Wants Another. EYcrybody Read the State Journal Tom Hughes of the Wichita Country club has forfeited the uncompleted golf match for a purse of $200 with Bob Peebles of the Topeka Country club. The two men played the first half of the match on the Wichita Country club grounds about two weeks ago and Peebles won by 11 holes. They played 36 holes on this occasion. The second half, or the same number of holes, were to have been played on the links of the Topeka Country club tomorrow and Hughes was expected to arrive in Topeka this morning to work out on the local links. He failed to ar rive but sent a letter to Peebles forfeiting the match and purse. In forfeiting this match Hughes has challenged Peebles to another match and the same purse will be made up and of fered to the winner. The terms of this match, specifically state that the first 36 holes are to be played on the grounds of the Topeka Country club and the last block on the grounds of the Wichita club. Peebles has accepted the challenge. The date for playing the first block of the second match will be arranged soon and it is believed that it will be played Saturday, July 2G, or Saturday. An"nat z. Nothing definite has been arrangea and these are only possible dates. The slayer of Joseph E. Drake, who died Thursday at his home in Council Grove, is at large on an appeal bond. James Dumford. who shot the unfort unate conductor last year, was con victed of assault witth intent to kill in the district court, was sentenced to a period of from five to ten years at the state penitentiary, and appaaled his case to the supreme court of Kan sas. According to information received from the county attorney's office, Drake's death does not put a new as pect on the case since he died more than a year and a day after the as sault. "It is doubtful." said W. E. Atchison, "whether Dumford can be held on the charge of murder." At the time of his assault upon the conductor Dumford was under a peace bond of $500 for threatening to kill his brother. He has been arraigned in the city court several, times on various charges. The date for the supreme court decision in this case is not Known and the court is in vacation. BEWARE OFJHE RED HEAD. Traditions Ascribed Misfortune to Pos sessors of Sun-Kissed Locks. "fal.uten.? re3-haired man nearer than 30 feet off, runs an old French proverb and even so. hold three stones in the fist wherewith to defend thyself." From Biblical times to the present day can be traced the prejudice against red hair. "Never lodge at red-haired people's houses." runs a precept in the fifteenth century "Boke of Curtasye," -for these be folks that are to drede." According to unc uuuiuuii mis distrust ot red-haired people dates from the time of Judas, who, himself red-haired, caused treachery to be ever afterwards connected with hair of that color. Shakespeare alludes to this belief. Says 1 Rosalind, complaining of her lover, "His very hair is of the dissembling color." Whereupon Celia answers her: "Some thing browner than Judas'." Marston, too, in "The Insatiate Countess," makes one of his characters remark: "I ever thought by his red beard he would prove a Judas." In Sweden prejudice against red hair was very strong: here its connection with treachery was twofold, for the traitor, Ashjorn, who betrayed Canute, possessed red hair. In Germany, also, red hair met with scant regard. "The short in stature." says a German proverb, "are naturally proud, and the red-haired untrustworthy." Nor is this latter belief by any means extinct at the present time. Red hair, however unjustly. Is still as sociated with deceit, and, in Ireland and Scotland, with ill-luck as well. In the Highlands, he who meets a red-haired woman when starting on a journey will j be well advised, say the wisacres, to re turn home and start the journey afresh; and in Ireland red-haired people are sup l posed to exercise the same baleful in- fluer.ee upon any undertaking, i The writer, staying in Western Conne- mara not long ago for brown trout fish ing, complained one day that sport had been unusually poor.

But the unfortunate human possessor of red hair meets with scant courtesy from the fairy folk: he it is who suffers most acutely from the unwelcome attentions of spriggans and buccas.

A., was, when a lad of 16 years, "drowned"' in Long Island Sound one morning about 10 o'clock. His body was placed in a wagon and hauled 3 miles to his home and prepared for burial. At daylight next morning one of the watchers dis covered signs of life. Vollum, after graduating at the medical college, passed the army examination and be came a doctor in the army. At the battle of Gettysburg a bullet passed through the head of Gen. Paul tearing out both eyes. Three days later his body was removed from the field into a house. Dr. Vollum, having had a narrow escape from premature burial, had adopted the opinion "that there is no certainty of death until the body clearly shows decay," refused to have him buried. Several days later the gen- r-t) 1 Khnweri i i? n n of life, and in time recover his health and strength, and although blind, lived for fourteen years in Washington, D. C. In the afternoon of the battle of Chickamauga, an Ohio soldier on Snod grass Hill was shot through the body. He was carried to the regimental sur geon and pronounced dead. The writer had the pleasure of going over that field in 1893 with this soldier and his handsome young daughter. He was then a member of the Ohio state legis lature, and was a robust, healthy man. It seems that the third day after he i was shot he became sufficiently con- J scioU8 to attract the attention of a Bergeant of a Virginia regiment, who poured some water on his wound and i gave him some to drink. The next day I the Confederates carried him to the j doctors at Snodgrass House. After Dr. Vollum was transferred to j the retired list he went abroad, and I met a wealthy Englishman who paid the expenses of publishing a book Vol lum wrote some years later on pre mature burials. Vollum states that two undertakers in England told the Englishman and himself "that if what they personally knew was published it would horrify the world." He states that if a person died in Germany the law required that It be at once reported to the nearest physician of the government, who at once takes possession of the body, moves It to a mortuary, placing It in a comfortable bed, where it is under constant observation until decay Is shown. The mortuaries are built In cemetaries. and the attendants live In them. It is said that the last mortuary built in Munich cost several hundred thousand dollars. Germany is not a wealthy nation, and that such a frugal nation should spend thousands of dollars every year to pre vent any one being buried allve shows that they consider the precaution necessary. Their doctors say the shock to the solar plexus caused by a gun shot wound, a fall, a blow from a fist or club, or a tired and hungry person drinking a quantity of ice cold water or beer, may cause apparent death that may last for days until the sys tem recovers from the shock and re vives, and the person lives. The same may also occur from weakness caused by Illness, especially during epidemics. They seem to think that American customs are rather brutal. To bury within two or three days does not give the body time to recover, and allowing all our undertakers at once to Inject 10 cents worth of embalming fluid into the body kills all chances of Its ever reviving. It would look as If Americans were anxious to get rid of their par ents and grandparents, for, of course, middle-aged and old people are much more liable than young people to a state of suspended animation.

Aided Oklahoma Officials Rounding Up Jointists. lowing nominations: Minister to Ecua dor, Charles S. Hartman of Montana; United States judge northern district of California, Maurice T. Dooling of California: United States attorney southern district of California. Albert Schoonover; northern district of Tex as, James C. Wilson. in Assistants in the attorney general's office returned to Topeka today from South Coffeyville, where they worked with the state officers from Oklahoma In making one of the biggest liquor raids that has been pulled off in Mont gomery county in several years. About 60 alleged law violators were routed from their rendezvous on the Oklahoma state line, a score of arrests were made, a half dozen joints burned and a wagonload of liquor and joint fix tures seized. Down in the South Coffeyville dis trict the joints are located along a hedge fence which designates the di viding line between the states of Kan sas and Oklahoma. A part of the joints are located on Oklahoma soil and the remaining portion is under the juris diction of the Kansas courts. In or der to handle this situation the state officials from both Kansas and Okla homa met near South Coffeyville and began their drag net campaign against the wet goods merchants. Under a provision in the Oklahoma law, liquor and joint property may be forthwith confiscated and destroyed by the officers. So the Oklahoma officers Bet fire to a half dozen joints which faced the Oklahoma side. To be sure they burned the Kansas side of the Joints too and the Jointists made haste to get to the timber on either side of the line. The Kansas officers, in autoi mobiles and lumber wagons, gathered such liquor and joint fixtures as had not been destroyed by the Are and pick ed up a half dozen alleged jointists who had not walked across the state line. Over in Oklahoma the officers picked up about a dozen men and the remainder of the 40 or 50 men wanted for fracturing the prohibitory law are now hiding in the tall brush along the border. Preston Coleman, W. P. Montgomery and James Gibbs from Attorney Gen eral Dawson's office took part in the raid. They were assisted by the Mont gomery county officials and for a few hours the state line jointists were given a reception that was in keeping .with the July brand of weather. This morning applications for injunc tions were prepared in the attorney general's office and will be filed in the state courts at once. In these appli cations the attorney general's force asks the court to enjoin the owners of two half sections of Kansas land near the Oklahoma state line on which liquor has previously been sold with out regard for the state laws. Re quisition papers will also be issued for n number of the men arrested by the Oklahoma state officials and these pris oners will be returned to ivansas to be tried for violating the prohibitory law. The raid was one of the biggest staged in Montgomery county in sev eral years. MOB STABS SOLDIERS. Woman Street Sieaker Incites Riot in Seattle. Seattle, July 18. Three enlisted men of the United States army were stabbed last night when a number of soldiers and sailors who participated in the military and naval parade were attacked by a crowd of men attending a street meeting of Industrial Workers of the World. The soldiers were only slightly wounded. According to the account given to the police the soldiers j were walking along Washington street I when they passed a woman speaker who was abusing the army and navy, and as they passed the crowd a man shouted "There go three soldiers now." The crowd at once attacked the sol diers and a free for all fight was on, during which the army men sustained a number of cuts with pocket knives. Two sailors from the Pacific reserve fleet saw the attack on the soldiers i and went to their aid. A riot call was j turned in and the police restored order. DR. GOLDREN DIES.

The chief diver sion of Mexican insurrectos is holding up trains to exact tribute from the passengers, according to Bert H. Fenn, a local attorney who has just returned from the scene of the perpetual re'0 lution. Such occurrences have become so frequent, he said, that they are looked up as jokes by both the highwaymen i and their victims. The bandits even vie with each other in the matter of politeness, sometimes going so far as to beg the passengers pardon for the holdup. During a 200 mile trip, Mr. Fenn's train was help up five times. The passengers, however, had become used to the affairs and so hid their valu- tnat me loiai cusioina icvcipm u"c. i the new bill will be $266,730,000; from income tax for ten months. $58,330,000; i corporation tax. $37,000,000; internal revenue, including taxes on cotton fu- tines, of $5,000,000, $207,000,000 and that the revenue from all other sources will bring the total for the fiscal year to j $996,810,000 with disbursements, estima- j ted for the committee by treasury ex- i perts at $994,790,000, a balance is shown i in favor of the government of $2,020,000. In analyzing its changes in the house administration features of the bill, the committee deemed the amendments ot the hou::e entirely too drastic, "par ticularly those authorizing examination of books of foreign manufacture, a 5 per cent tariff discount on imports in American ships and other like features which were stricken out. Particular attention is called to the senate pro vision "designated to furnisn tne pres ident with power to impose tariff du ties of a retaliatory character upon ail articles comprised in a specified list," which includes many agricultural prod ucts. Able to Retaliate. "For some years," says the report in referring to this retaliatory provision, "there has been a development of maximum and minimum tariffs abroad, and in not a few instances the government of the United States has been compelled to see its citizens subjected to harsh and discriminating tariff treatment abroad without being ables in the folds of rnllerl nn shirt sleeves or neckties, leaving in their able under the law, to afford relief. pockets just enough silver pieces to I The tariff act of 19 09 recognized this situation ana estaDiisnea a general maximum schedule of duties 25 per cent, higher than the general or min- j imora rates of the law. This maxi- eufficient cause, often returned part of their loot. When one party of ban dits found the train had just been cleaned out by a similar gang, the highwaymen merely passed the hat around and asked for contributions. EMPHASIZED "OBEY."

In the case of a minor illative or gambling character where child or children living with and de no delivery of the product is ever ptndent upon the parent, such parent really intended to be made. is allowed an additional exemption of "If the effect of the proposed tax is 1500. for one minor child and up to to eliminate all of the latter class of, 51,000 on account of minor children business and to leave intact that part of the dealings resorted to for hedg ing purposes, the revenue derived from except where both parents are taxable, in wnich. case no exemption is allow able on account of children. By the amendment the lowest possible exemp tion to any one person would be $3,000 and the highest possible exemption to any person $5,000. While the amend ment may make no wide difference in the volume of revenue derivable from the tax, it is deemed equitable as recognizing the added obligations on account of marriage and children and salutary as emphasizing the family as the unit in our social structure." The changes in all the schedules are dealt with at length in the report. On agricultural products, many of which were transferred to the free list in addition to those put there by the house, the committee has this to say: Free List Farm Implements. "The house bill and amendments made by the committee on finance fully recognizes the paramount inter ests of our agricultural population by placing agricultural implements of every kind and description, fences, and baling wire, cotton bagging and ties, low priced blankets, boots and shoes, cement, nails, lumber and coal, har ness, saddles, cotton gins, wagons, carts, bagging for grain, wool andi other bags, sewing machines and many other products of daily utility on the free list. In common with the rest of our people, our agricultural population will share in the benefits by the reduction of the duties on sugar and its elimination. The substantial reductions made all along the line on cotton and woolen goods, wearing ap parel of every description, on crockery, household furnishings and utensils, hardware and similar products of our factories, will remove a considerable part of the burden of tariff taxation now borne by the farmer as well as the dweller in the city and the laborer in the factory, fields and mines." The sugar and wool schedules are left unchanged as to free sugar and free raw wools, but reductions by the senate committee in wool tops and yarns are explained, and sweeping reductions in the metal schedule are treated in the report with considerable comment. Ore Free to Help Independents. Pig iron, ferromanganez and other products were placed on free list by the committee and the report says: The house bill places iron ore upon the free list mainly because it was found that the domestic supply of Iron ore was largely controlled by the Uni ted States Steel corporation, and for the purpose of aiding the independent iron and steel manufacturers in their competition with this monopoly. For similar reasons the committee on finance thought that ferromanganez should also be placed upon the free list. The United States Steel corpora tion largely controls the domestic ore out of which ferromanganez. which is a necessary material in the manufacture of steel, is produced. This corporation is the only producer of ferromangane7 in this country, but produces it only for its own use and consumption. It was thought under these conditions Just that the independent competitors of this monopoly should be permitted to import this high priced alloy free of duty and that with iron ore and fer romanganez on the free list domestic competition would be strengthened and the price of the finished products of iron and steel would be eventually low ered. Concerning the general revision the senate committee says that following the lead of the house it "has sought in the amendments It proposes to the house bill to further carry out and parfect the theory of establishing a rev enue producing tariff upon the basis of competitive rates, as a Just and fair interpretation in the light of existing conditions of the latest authoritative utterances of the party in power upon that subject and now submits the re sults of its labors with the confident belief that the enactness into law of the house bill, as amended will result in a more equitable distribution of tiu burdens and incidental benefits of our system of customs taxation; that it will tend to disintegrate the monopolies built up under the present' system: that it will enlarge opportunity through individual effort, reduce the cost of living and relieve the people from the burdens of the protective system strikingly exemplified in the socalled Payne-Aldrich bill which thl measure is intended to supersede."

The superintendent denied that he had come to Leavenworth for any special purpose, although he admitted that there was a probability of an In vestigation being made into the some what sensational escape of two pris oners some three weeks ago. He de clined to discuss this matter at any length, however. Leavenworth, Kan., July 18. Before his departure for Washington, R. V. La Dow, superintendent of United States prisons and chairman of the federal board of parole, said he would do ev erything in his power to rush the re maining work on the big penitentiary here, thereby insuring its completion possibly within a year. The primary object of Mr. La Dow'e gan on the expenditure of the $100,000 1 appropriation recently made for the i prison. He realized that much must be done with the amount, but he is convinced that it will at least result in bringing the massive structure near completion. The steel work for the east cell house is about completed, while that on the west section is progressing rapidly. The steel work done, all that will remain will be the brick ana masonry, which will be pushed as soon as the stone is made ready. There are numerous expert stone cutters confined in the prison, and it Is the intention to put them all at work on this all Important Job. In company with Warden Morgan, Mr. La Dow made a hurried inspection of that part of the prison which is not yet complete, which consists of the front of the administration build ing and the adjacent cell houses. Mr. La. Dow has watched the progress of building operations since the prison was established, some 13 years ago, j and he now is convinced that the j prison will be completed soon. I Although the time for the hearing of applications for paroles is not now, there were several applications heard before Mr. La Dow's departure. One or two of these are understood to be members of the "bankers' colony." but names were not forthcoming. Whether any others of the alleged dynamiters were heard is not known, but it is Improbable, as all the one year men. are out. Those sentenced to two or more years necessarily must serve one- GITLL FULL FLEDGED FARMER, First Kansas Woman to Gain Official Recognition. Solomon, Kan., July 18. Miss Ethel Vanderwilt of Solomon City is the first Kansas girl to be officially recognized as a full fledged farmer. Many other young women have worked In the fields when necessary, but to Miss Vanderwilt comes the distinction of official recognition from President Waters of the Kansas State Agricul tural college. Miss Vanderwilt was hrst honor student of this year's crrad uating class, the only woman of the class. Her knowledge is not confined to textbooks, for her father is a suc cessful farmer and the young woman has a thorough knowledge of the prac tical side of the life. Her first experience was in the cul tivation and care of a garden. One summer when Miss Vanderwilt was 18 years old (she Is 23 now) her par ents went away for a vacation and left her In charge of the farm and she managed It, too. Now she knows the other side, the scientific side, of farm work. She is not In love; she is too busy, she says. She has had many offers to teach In high schools, but has not accepted any.

It is reported that In the vicinity of the poor farm they are so thick that the iron posts around the place are Invisible, the grasshoppers hanging to them like swarms of bees. At the Biles farm it was said the fence posts on which the Golden Belt road marks are painted, in lieu of telephone poles, are alive with the hoppers. The signs on the posts are invisible and scraping some of the 1 hoppers off it was found they had eaten Into the posts, destroying the red danger marks at the bridge near the Biles place. GOOD WHEAT FOR RANDALL. Grain Men Buy 9,451 Bushels In Sin gle Day Tests Good. Randall, Kan., July 18. There was 9.451 bushels of wheat delivered In the town of Randall in one day, J. S. Hart buying 6,317 bushels, and C. M. Connelly buying 4,134 bushels. The average price paid was 72 cents per bushel, which netted $6,804.72. Bert Cooper threshed 2,065 bushels of wheat in one day for Durham and Flinn. Wheat around here is making from 24 to 35 bushels per acre and is testing from 69 to 63 pounds to the bushel. Corn Is in good condition but has begun to need rain the last few days. NEW SCHEME FOR BUGS. Farmer Cuts Corn Along Affected Wheat Fields. Douglass, Kan., July 18. The chinch bug pest was successfuly com bated this year by George Carnahan, a farmer, three miles east of here. When an adjoining wheat field became infested with the insects Carnahan cut a strip of corn extending along the edge of the wheat and allowed the green stalks to remain on the ground and rot. The wheat was ruined and when the bugs started to the corn they were delayed by the fallen stalks and died. Fermentation of the green stalks is supposed to have killed them. PUT IRON IN WHEAT. Vandals Seek to Destroy Crop and Threshing Machines. Concordia, July 18. The threshing crews have been finding iron in the wheat shocks. Three pieces of iron were found in the field of Sam Lovelace and two in Ed Poutrie's field. In one case the Iron was run into the cylinder of the separator before It was discovered and i almost wrecked the machine.

Bisley, a large Airedale dog, owned by W. H. Reber, of Butte, was killed while leading a pack of wolves near Red Lodge. Three wolves were shot at the same time. The following story can be verified In every detail and proves that London's "Call of the Wild" is not altogether fic tion. Bisley was the special property of Ed ward, W. H. Reber's son. and was kept on the Reber ranch. "He was the best hunter I have ever seen," said the young man. "I have been out with him many times in a boat on Rosebud Lake. The ducks would no sooner drop in the water that Bisley was out of the boat and after them. Late last winter he disap peared. A few weeks prior to that he would go off in the woods, sometimes staving away whole days. Then he van ished altogether. I thought ne naa at tacked a cougar and got the worst of It." John Dunn had been troubled with prowling wolves the last few months. He saw the pack several times and told of a strange looking light-brown wolf that led the bunch. He believed that If he could get the leader the wolves would cease their daring attacks upon his stock. At last Mr. Dunn and severai cowboys started after the bunch. They hunted mnt of the day. setting snares. The oack was rounded up and four of the T-1 V. animais iei- aJ 111 1 one shot, as Mr. Dunn was particularly anxious to get him.

Of the members named by Taft the only ones retained by Presi dent Wilson are Mr. Delano and the officers of the labor organizations.

Ballard Is a millionaire miller who The alphabet has never until now been explained satisfactorily to scholars, much less to the laity. The time-worn suggestion that the first letter In the al phabet called Aleph in the Phoenician and Hebrew, means an ox seemed all right until the letter was compared with a real ox. and then it proved un satisfactory, to say the least. That the second letter, Beth, meant a house, looked a little more plausible, but even this was not clear enough to satisfy any one who wanted to know the truth. It has remained for Prof. Eduard Stucken, a well-known German scholar, to show that the real origin of the alphabet is astronomical, and this he has done in a work Just published, proving his point most clearly and con vincingly. Thero can now be no doubt that the first letters were derived from the stars in the heavens, and even their order was fixed by the course of the moon through the skies. The ancient Babylonians were great astronomers, and knew the constella tions as well as any modern astrono mer.

Ross, county farm advisor. Is calling attention to the possibilities of sweet clover as an additional source of revenue to the farmers. I Sweet clover first made its appear I ance in this section about 25 years I ago, crowding out the familiar road side sunflower and occupying other neglected places. Stock would not i touch it and the only use made of the plant was by the bees who pastured on its Dlossom. Gradually, however, cows and horses have acquired a taste for It and they now relish it as much i as other forage plants. With these changes has come a ble demand for j the seed. i "Do you know," writes Mr Ross to the club members, "that the seed houses have sold immense quantities of sweet clover seed during the last year at $25 or more per hundred pounds? There are a great many acres of this valuable plant In this county that annually go to waste. This clover has as beneficial an effect on I the soil as the other varieties and will grow on much poorer soils and under less favorable conditions generally. Its greatest value. I believe, will be as a green fertilizer on badly washed lands where other vegetation will not grow. It also is rapidly coming into use as a pasture plant. "Don't be afraid of it. Tou have never seen it growing to any extent in pastures, meadows or cultivated fields. Stock will keep it eaten down in pas tures and mowing or cultivating kills it. "Why not cut that strip along the road and save the seed for sale or for use, or let the boys make some money in that way? Handle the same as alfalfa or clover Is handled for seed. If a huller cannot be obtained the price of the seed is sufficiently high to warrant the use of the flail to thresh it. It threshes very easily." HOLD HOME COMING WEEK. Manhattan W1H Celebrate Independ ently From College. Manhattan. Kan., July 18. Manhat tan will have a big "Home Coming Week" this fall, but the event will be held Independent of the fiftieth anni versary celebration of the Kansas State Agricultural college. The "Home Coming Week" will be the biggest event ever staged here and It will have the support of the agri cultural college, but it will be an en tirely separate affair from the college anniversary celebration. This was decided at a meeting of the committee from the Commercial club. A few days ago, when the col lege announced that it would hold a big celebration this fall to commem orate the fiftieth anniversary of the big institutioin, it was immediately proposed that the city hold a celebra tion at the same time. Last night the committee appointed to report on the plan recommended that the city and college hold a "Home Coming Week" I independent of the college celebration. The plan now is to hold the Home i Coming Week" some two or three i weeks before or after the college cele- i bration and to make it In the nature I of an exhibition of live stock and farm products, with a program of horse racing, polo games, street parade and many side attractions thrown In. IHtOYVNlm TTNDER TANK. Eight Year Old Boy Pinned Down In Water Two Feet Deep. Atchison, Kan., July 18. A most distressing accident occurred on the farm of Philo Mauzey. near Norton- vllle when Robert Schloup, the 8 year old son of Charles Schloup, was drowned. Charles Schloup was threshing wheat on the Mauzey farm and his boy was with him. When Gene Price, who operates the water hauler for Schloup drove down to a nearby pond to get water for the engine, the boy climbed on the rear end. At the pond Price backed the tank down an embankment to the water when the large round tank turned over and fell into the water with the boy under it. Price was so excited that he forgot to attempt to rescue the boy, but ran screaming to the threshing machine, a half mile away. Charles Schloup ran to the scene and turning the tank "over dragged the dead body of his boy out. The water was only two feet deep.

Astronomers who have studied the Babylonian system see that Taurus held the leading position among the constellations, and this would sub stantiate the position of Dr. Stucken, explaining why Aleph, the Bull, is the first letter of the alphabet. It is also one of the ancient legends that the human race came into existence un der Taurus, and the Jewish New Year, held to be the anniversary of the creation.

Thus Prof. Stucken proves that the alphabet is of astronomical origin, showing that the order of the alphabet and especially that A is the first letter, can be accounted for only upon the ground of these Babylonian ideas. The other great difficulty which might occur to some of us is why then are there 22 letters in the ancient al phabet and not 12, to correspond to the 12 full moons? This is answered very simply. In the marking of the various "moon stations" various posi tions of the stars were also noted, seeming to make fiery characters in the heavens, afterward to be used as the symbols of written language. In this way 10 additional characters were add ed to our Zodiacal signs, as the "moon stations," afterward utilized for the purpose of the alnhabet.
