COMPLETE CONFESSION MADE PRISONER NOW FEELS SAFE .MORE SILOS LESS ACREAGE SCORNS SENATORIAL RUMORS f Reported as Saying He Had Married the Girl. Slew Her When Secret Was About to Be Known. New York, Sept. 15. With the arrest of the Rev. Hans Schmidt, assistant rector of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church, charged with the murder of Anna Aumuller. a domestic, the mys tery surrounding the finding twelva days ago of parts of the dismembered body of a girl in the Hudson river was solved. Schmidt, according to the po lice reports, has confessed and a; tha time of his arrest attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a safety razor blade. "I killed her because I loved her so much," Schmdit Is alleged to have told his captors, but the police version of the motive for the crime is that the young woman was about to become a mother. He had married her through a ceremony of his own performance, without witnesses. According to the police and the dis trict attorney's office, Schmidt's con fession was full and absolute. In It he Is quoted as saying that he killed his companion with a butcher knife end cut up her body with the knife end a saw. The woman was killed, the police say, while she slept, shortly after mid night, on Sept. 2. in an apartment in Bradhurst avenue, where the priest had placed her five days before. When her heart had ceased beating, according to the alleged confession, Schmidt carried the body from the bed to the bath room, and placing it in the tub began his gory work of cutting It tip. Five bundles, wrapped in bed clothes and paper, were made of the six parts. Five times Schmidt left the apart ment house with a bundle to cross the Hudson river to the Jersey shore. Five times he leaned over the stern or trie ferry boat in mid-stream and gently gave the river his burden. Then he re turned to the church. Blood Stains Found. The stains of the girl's blood still dis colored the bath tub when detectives searched the Bradhurst avenue apart ment. In the apartment among other things the police found a marriage license is sued in New York last February .md bearing the names of the priest and the murdered woman. This license nad been used. According to Schmidt's confession, he went through a mar riage ceremony with the girl. In the ceremony Schmidt was both priest and bridegroom; there were no witnesses. A gayly colored pillow of unusual pattern led to Schmidt's apprehension. This pillow, stained with blood and soiled with the filth of the river, was wrapped around a portion of the torso. The detectives traced the pillow to its manufacturer; the manufacturer traced it to the dealer: the dealer traced it to Schmidt. And the police, tracing Schmidt and the girl, knew all about both of them hours before they arrested him. Confession and Arrest. Early today, according to parish loners of the church, Schmidt said to the Rev. Father Huntmann, rector of St. Joseph's church, that he would hear no more confessions and when asked for his reason said: "I have something of importance to tell you.". With his superior, Schmidt then re tired to the study, where the latter told all that had transpired in the Bradhurst avenue flat where his al leged confession to the police says he murdered the girl. Father Huntmann conferred with his other assistants and it was agreed that the authori ties should be notified. The police, however, were even then on Schmidt's trail and his arrest followed shortly. The confession, which the police say Schmidt signed, follows: "I met Anna Aumuller two years ago at the parish house of St. Boni face church. She was. employed as a servant there. I was attracted by her beauty. I became infatuated with her. I loved her. "I killed her because I loved her so much. She was so beautiful, so good. I could not let her live without me. "I had made up my mind that she and I could not live together. I was a priest and must remain with my church. I could not let her go away from me. So I opened the door of the flat. I awakened her. I told her I had com to fulfill my threat. Then I drew the knife across her throat. "After I had disposed of the body I wanted to destroy all evidence of the crime. I took the mattress on which I had slain her and carried it to a vacant lot and there I burned it. "I am guilty; that is all I can say. 1 must pay the penalty. There is noth ing else for me to do. But I loved Anna Aumuller. "She wanted me to marry her and I procured a marriage license. She trusted me. Read Ceremony Himself. "I am a priest and ordained to per form the marriage ceremony, so when she insisted upon a ceremony I mar ried myself to her. There was no need of any other priest doing it. It was just as absolute as if I had called In another person with authority to perform a marriage ceremony. She was my wife." His Record in Germany. Mainz, Germany, Sept. 15. The Jour nal, today says that Johannes Schmidt belonging to the Mainz bishopric, has been long under suspension by the bishop. He disappeared from Mainz and later arrived in Munich, where he was arrested on a charge of commit ting aiiun2berofJiraudj3;ac .(Continued from Pace Two.) y$ip Adolph L. Kline. Before Gaynor's death Kline was an alderman and represented the Fifty first district in Brooklyn. He became president of the board of aldermen in July last, automatically succeeding John Purroy Mitchel. who, succeeding William Loeb, became collector of the port of New York by annointment of President Wilson. Kline has acted as mayor pro tern on different occasions since Mitchel's appointment. DRAFTING BEGINS National Commission Opens Annual Sleeting. May Change Drafting Rules Consider Giant-Phillie Affair. Cincinnati, Sept. 15. Major and minor league magnates and others interested in the drafting of players by major league clubs from minor leagues were present today when the national base ball commission, August Hermann, chairman; Thomas Lynch, president of National league and B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, be gan its annual meeting. It was re ported that the commission would dis cuss a new plan for drafting players that would give the advantage to sec ond division teams in the major leagues and help them to build up. At present all clubs in the two big leagues have an equal advantage. The first division clubs may put in as many drafts as the second division teams and they have an equal chance to draw the players desired. Tonight the directors of the National league will meet to review the protest of the New York club of the National league with regard to the New York-Philadelphia, game of Aug. 30, which was for feited to New York by Umpire Bren nan, and later awarded to the Phila delphia team by President Lynch. Just before the commission went into session Chairman Herrmann an nounced the rule of procedure in the drafting of players would be changed. Instead of the old way of placing in a hat the names of Major League clubs who had entered for the same play ers for a class A, or AA, club and confining the selection to the player named, the winner in the lottery would be given an opportunity to choose any player from that club on which drafts had been made by any club. The old rule provided that only one player could be drafted from one club and that the winner In the drawing could only obtain the man for whom it had entered a draft. When the drafting season opened drafts on the American association In ternational league, the Coast league and the Southern league were consid ered. In accordance with the rules adopted previous to the drafting the names of the players were not given out, but only the club from which they were secured. Out of the four leagues, the Ameri can league club of Detroit secured six players. St. Louis Americans six. New York Americans one, Washington one, Chicago Americans one and Cleveland one. In the National league Boston drew four, Brooklyn three, Chicago three, Philadelphia one and Cincinnati one. The following were the drafts from the Western league, the last of the class A leagues to be drawn: St. Louis Nationals obtained a player from Den ver; Chicago Americans one from Lin coln; Boston Nationals one from Oma ha; St. Louis Americans one from Sioux City. Ia.: Boston Nationals one from St. Joseph, Mo.; and St. Louis Americans one from Wichita, Kan. This completed the drafts from class AA and class A leagues and the names of the players that will be taken from these clubs will be announced later when the major league clubs make their selections. BROKE WORLD'S RECORD Captain Richard of Ohio Makes New Score on Rifle Range. Seagirt. N. J., Sept. 15. Captain W. H. Richard of Ohio today broke the world's record for consecutive bulls eyes on the 500 yard range with 16 inch targets by scoring 23 without a miss. Captain Richard was shooting on the Meany Match at the interna tional and interstate tournament. Will Be Under Protection of the United States As Soon as Writ of Habeas Corpus Is Served. Concord, N. H., Sept. 15. The of ficial request for the extradition of Harry K. Thaw was filed with Gover nor Felker today by Bernard Jacobs of Lancaster, N. H., counsel for the New York authorities. Governor Felker's desk was buried beneath a pile of letters and telegrams relating to the Thaw case. Most of these mes sages appeared to be the result of a movement originating in Kansas to create sentiment favorable to Thaw. E. P. Nute. United States marshal, arrived in Colebrook this afternoon, bearing a writ of habeas corpus calling for the presence of Harry K. Thaw be fore Federal Judge Aldrich at Little ton tomorrow morning. With the serv ice of the writ, Nute and Sheriff Drew of Coos county became joint custodians of the fugitive. Colebrooke, Sept. 15. Harry K. Thaw awaited anxiously today the arrival of United States Marshal E. P. Nute, bearing notice to Sheriff DreT of Coos county that the fugitive must be pro duced on a writ of habeas corpus be fore Judge Aldrich in the United States district court at Littleton tomorrow morning. Thaw then will be under the protection of the United States pend ing disposition of the writ and this guarantee of safety in the face of so many kidnaping rumore, was a source of relief to him. Nute did not arrive on the morning train and Thaw's cus todian. Sheriff Holtman Drew said he did not expect him until this afternoon. "We will probably not take Thaw to Littleton until tomorrow morning," he saia. i here is a train leaving here shortly after 6. which would bring us there in plenty of time to be in court at 11 o'clock." William Travers Jerome, New York's special deputy in the Thaw matter planned to accompany Thaw to Little ton as did Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney general and Sheriff Hornbeck of Dutchess county. The Thaw law yers desired to have argument con tinued in order that the writ may be vailable at a "later day should It be found necessary to block extradition. If Judge Aldrich should Insist that argument proceed tomorrow it might result in the freeing of their client at once, prior to the extradition hearing, which Governor Felker has set for Wednesday. With Thaw free -again, serious com plications are possible. His lawyers would be acting within their rights if they attempted to rush him from the state. Jerome and his forces would of course seek to hold him. A physical struggle between factions is not out of the question and both sides will have a lot of private detectives on hand. Thaw retired early last night after a Sunday spent entirely within doors. Most of the day he conferred with a representative of former Governor Stone qf Pennsylvania. ARMYIN GOOD SHAPE.

"If we are going to attract the men we want and raise the efficiency of the army, we must have a shorter term of enlistment," said he. "I am in favor of a three year term with the privilege of discharge into the reserve, as soon as an enlisted man proves his efficiency. I have not de cided what the shortest period of ser vice with the colors should be. That will depend entirely upon the individ ual. I am in favor of discharging men as soon as they earn discharge and as a reward for their hard work." Mr. Garrison said he does not favor nor would the country tolerate a large standing army. 1 1 BULL MOOSE BUSY. An Aggressive Campaign for Members Is Planned. House Washington. Sept. 15.

Pratt (Kan.) Union. 3Irs. Stubbs His Staunch Back er in All Declarations. But He Did Hanker for a Hand in Maine Fight. No more political jobs for Walter Roscoe Stubbs, former governor of Kansas. He almost declared today that an election certificate to the best job in the gift of the American people wouldn't tempt him one bit. And his declaration was promptly approved and attested by Mrs. Stubbs, who accom panied her husband to Topeka. The Stubbs family has been home from Europe a week. In that time the former governor has made three trips to Topeka. But not until today did he mention politics. Then he declared that he had no desire to hold office', but wanted to spent his time at his home near Lawrence. Of course that declar ation doesn't mean that Stubbs won't take part in future campaigns in Kan sas. In fact, he seerr.s to be just as keenly interested in politics- as ever only he says that he doesn't want any offices himself. Asked about the recent congression al election in Maine, which resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the Pro gressive candidate, Stubbs declared that he believed Peters would prove a good congressman. But the former Kansas governor dodged any mention of the possible effect of the congres sional election in Maine as affecting the future of the new party. Still Has Fighting Spirit. "Wish I could have been up there to have taken a hand in the fight," said Stubbs when asked about the re cent Maine election. "But the result wasn't really as bad as it looked. I am informed that Peters is really quite a Progressive Republican and a mighty good man." "Is there any truth in the rumors that you may be a candidate for eith er United States senator or congress man next year?" was asked. "You know," said the former gov ernor, as he characteristically tugged at his hat, "why, you know ,if they were to hand me any kind of a nom ination or election certificate, I wouldn't even thank them for it." "Then you won't be a candidate at all, governor?" Mrs. Stubbs was standing b the side of her husband. "We want to stay at home, that's what we want to do," said Mrs. Stubbs. "Yes," repeated Stubbs, "we want to stay at home." THE DAY IN CONGRESS Bristow Criticises President Wilson's Mexican Policy. Washington, Sept. 15. Senate met at noon. Passed without reference to committee the house appropriation of $100,000 to get Americans out of Mex ico. Senator Thomas made a belated tariff speech. Testimony closed in West Virginia strike investigation. Senators Thornton and Bahkhead in troduced bill to appropriate $25,000,000 for good roads in co-operation with states. Senator O. Gorman introduced a bill to place in front of the capitol a copy of the J. Q. A. Ward statue of Washington at the New York subtreas ury. Senator Bristow, of Kansas, did not grant his consent to the passage of the resolution appropriating $100,000 for relief in Mexico, until he had criti cised the administration's "policy." "I have had letters from several friends in Mexico and talked with others who have left Mexico since the president is sued his warning for Americans to get out of Mexico," said Senator Bristow, "and they all say that the warning has been very unfortunate. They tell me that it has made the lot of Americans in Mexico very much harder than it was before." House met at noon. Currency bill taken up under the Ave minute rule for amendment. Lobby committee heard former Representative Cole f.f Ohio. MOBILE IS FLOODED. Damages Estimated at Thousands of Dollars Done by Rains. Mobile, Ala., Sept. 15. Damage estimated at many thousands dollars has been caused by a terrific down pour of rain which began Saturday morning, the total precipitation for- 48 hours being 11 inches. The low por tions of the city, inundated Sunday morning were flooded again today. Reports from nearly every rural sec tion indicate heavy damage. Trans portation lines have not been seriously affected HELD TO 10-HOUR DAY Wisconsin Manufacturers Cannot Work Work Longer Than That. Madison, Wis., Sept. 15. Eight large milwaukee candy manufacturers were today denied permission by the state industrial commission to employ wo men more than ten hours a day during the three months' rush season preced ing Christmas. Various reasons are given by the commission, among them being: That the commission, in inves tigating conditions of female employ ment, probably would find in most in dustries that the hours should be .re duced rather than increased. That women must be protected by the state because the welfare of the race is de pendent upon them. (c) Harris b Ewing. Senor Manuel de Zamacona e Inclan. to this country and supposed represen tative of Provisional President Huerta. Though he has been in the United States several days, Zama has not revealed tha purpose of his coming. At the state department and at the Mex ican embassy no information can be gleaned. It is believed, however, that he is commissioned by president Huerta to negotiate a loan from New York bankers if possible. He has spent several days in New York. Senor de Zamacona is recognized even by the-opponents of the Huerta government as a very shrewd man, and therefore his movements are be ing closely followed by every one con cerned in the Mexican situation. His claim that he is in the United States "on private business" is considered as a diplomatic statement. SLAIN BY BANDITS. American Mine Superintendent Killed jn Mexico. San Francisco, Sept. 15. Word of the murder of Morris P. Root, Ameri can superintendent of the El Tigre mines at Tepic, Mexico, was brought here by the steamer Peru which had nearly 100 refugees aboard. The min ing engineer was intercepted by a few bandits as he was on his way to join employees of the company who were preparing to defend the mine prop erty. He was disarmed and cut to pieces. Root was 50 years old and had been in Mexico about 16 years. Max Lam bert, another American engineer, who arrived on the Peru, was left for dead by bandits who attacked his home in Tepic. Lambert's wife and child escaped by crawling through a rear window and he remained to greet the bandits whose approach was no ticed when they were a mile away. They fractured his skull and left him for dead. When they departed Mrs. Lambert returned and obtained aid. The refugees were from points along the western coast of Mexico and they brought repetitions of stories of refu gees who preceded them. Western Mexico is in a state of anarchy they said. Rebel chiefs do not recognize one another and when they are not looting and committing murder they are fighting among themselves. Amer icans from the state of Durango as serted conditions there are beyond description. They said the country is over run with bands of drunken peons who commit unspeakable crimes. RAVOiSMALWTND.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIt-MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1913. RELIEF TO FINNEY Bill in Congress for Goyern ment Irrigation Scheme. Senator Thompson Would Can cel Former Contracts. CAMPBELL PEARS TARIFF BILL Kansas Congressman Afraid of Foreign Competition. Factories 1TH1 Close Their Doors, He Belieyes. Washington, D. C, Sept. 15. The first bill passed by the senate after it had finished the consideration of the tariff bill was the bill introduced by Snator Thompson of Kansas providing relief for the farmers of Finney coun ty, whose lands were encumbered by the contracts entered into between the government and the Finney County Water Users' association. These contracts were made in 1805, under the terms of which the govern ment installed a $300,000 pumping plant at Deerfield-, Kan., and agreed to aupply al! necessary water to irrigate 10,000 acres of land owned by farm ers under the association's ditch, the cost of construction and maintenance becoming a lien upon the lands. The pumping plant was operated during 190S and 1909, and it failed to furnish an adequate supply of water for irrigation. No effort has been made to operate the plant for the last Xour years. The farmers contend that on account of the failure of the government to perforin its contractural obligations, they should be released from the ob ligation assumed by them as owners of the land and shareholders in the association. They claim that the liens created by this, project are such a menace that they are unable to nego tiate loans or to sell or dispose of their lands; and that if the payment of this encumbrance is enforced, it would mean absolute confiscation of their lands and financial ruin. The bill provides for the cancella tion of the contracts, and authorizes the secretary of the interior to dispose of the plant at its appraised value If It is desired to do so. Congressman Phil P. Campbell of Kansas, in a speech on the floor of J the house, 'declared that it will be only a matter of time after the tariff law is enacted tnat tne Business men and wage earners will feel the effects of it in this country. He predicts factories will lay off their men and eventually be compelled to close their doors on account of foreign competi tion. He said: "You Democrats emphasize the fact that the country is anxiously awaiting the enactment of the Underwood bill into Saw. But you fail to state just what country is anxious for the en actment of this bill into law. As a matter of fact, manufacturers and farmers and business men and wage earners of every country in the world but ours are anxious for the early en actment of this bill into law. v "The bill proposes to make it easy for the producers in every country in the world to bring here the products of their industries and dump them into the market of the United States the best market in the world. This bill is for the benefit of Europeans and of Asiatics and of the people who inhabit the islands of the sea that are not under the American flag. "Has anyone heard of an American manufacturer who produces goods that will meet foreign competition who is contemplating an enlargement of his factory or an increase in the number of his employees because of the enactment of this bill into law? There are none. Every laborer in this country who labors in an industry that produces competitive products will suffer from competition with laborers employed in other countries at a wage much less than he is paid here. "The gentleman from France to whom I have referred candidly stated that he had been in cotton mills in the Uni ted States; that he had found the same kind of machinery that he has in his mills; that ho found the same efficient employees here that he has in his mills. 'But.' he said, 'in this country you pay from four to four and one half times more wages to laborers upon the same machines than I pay in my factory, and therefore I shall have an advantage in supplying the American market with what it wants." And he Js right about it. and that is why your law will injure our people and help the people of other countries. "I am not surprised, therefore, that xiie cuunmra ouisiae oi me unitea States are anxious for the early enact- ment of this bill into law, and I am not surprised at the apathy and the apprehension of American manufae turers. farmers, laborers, and business men everywhere in this country. "Mr. Speaker, I fear that our labor ers will walk out of factories in which they have been steadily employed at an increasing wage for 16 years, and that many of them will remain out of employment during the time that this law remains upon the statute books, i "You will do well to bear in mind that 'behind every cheap product of labor that is sold in the United States there iSnda and the American laborer will refuse of living or the standard of wages that is given to his foreign competitor, whether he is employed in Europe or in Asia."

Ralph Faxon Contends Old Santa. Fe Trail Is Only Overland ltoute, Wichita. Kan., Sept. 15. In a state ment issued here. Ralph rl. jraxon, industrial commissioner for the Wich ita Business association and president f the Santa Fe Tran association, de nounces the plan to build the "Lincoln National highway." Mr. Faxon at tacks the plan on the ground that it does not pass through Kansas, which he terms the greatest state in the west. The route of the Lincoln highway as proposed runs from New York to the Pacific coast, going through Ne braska, to the north of the Sunflower state. "The only logical route from coast to coast is through Kansas following the old Santa Fe trail to La Junta, Colo., thence southwest into New Mexico am along the Santa Fe rail way tracks to the coast," Mr. Faxon states. He. plans to wage a vigorous cam paign to block any federal aid to wards building the eocalled Lincoln highway. XKAK FATALITY AT ROCKY IIiD Superstructure 'of New Power House Torn OutNarrow Escapes. Junction City, Sept. 13. Two Junction City men, A. W. Bentley and John Gib son, had a narrow eKcape from death while working at Rocky Ford, near Man hattan last week. They were at work in the bottom of the wheel pit at the dam across the Blue river. The big flood Kates had been opened and the water turned from the pit into the channel of the stream. A large beam was being put across at the bottom ot the pit. the place having been cribbed up with heavy tim bers and ties. The two Junction City men and Mr. Cunningham, superintendent of the plant, were in the pit when the pres sure of the water tore out the timbers and entered the pit with a rush, trap ping the three men. They were caught by the falling timbers and with difficulty freed themselves. Mr. Bentley's escape was very narrow. He was almost drowneil when rescued and was badly bruised. Mr. Gibson was also badly bruised. To Germany to Celebrate. Alma, Kan., Sept. 15.

Republic County People Show A pp re flation Broke AH Records. Belleville. Sept. 15. One of the most successful fairs in the history of the local association closed here last week. Approximately 6.000 people attended Saturday, which was automobile day. The average attendance for the week was 3.000. The association put on one of the strongest programs ever at tempted and were well rewarded lor their efforts. This was the best advertised fair in the history of the association. Be tween 600 and 600 automobiles were on the grounds Friday. The harness races and automobile races were first class. The agricultural and live stock display was surprisingly good. The association will pay out in full and have some money left, which is a nat tering indorsement of the courage and faith of the officers and directors in a season such as this. KEEPINGJJP PACE Giants Increase Lead by Good Week's Flay Phillies Good, Athletics Gain Game by Cleve' land-Washington Conflict. New York, Sept. 15. Ground was gained last week by both. the. major league leaders for world's champion ship honors. With both Giants and Athletics playing a stronger and more consistent game than for weeks pre vious, there seems hardly a chance for an upset before the close of the sea son, now a bare three weeks away. The most marked improvement was shown by McGraw s men. who insteaa of merely breaking even or coming out with fewer victories than defeats as has been their habit in recent seven day playing periods, jumped into a winning spurt the moment they struck Pittsburg on their last swing around the western circuit. History repeated itself so far as the American League contenders were concerned. While the Athletics drop ped two games to the White Sox be fore they braced and evened up the series, the Clevelands broke under the Washington attack and again missed a splendid chance to work themselves Into a position where the Mackmen would have had the fight of their lives for championship laurels. Washington, Cleveland's nemesis since the early days of the American League, has thus to all appearances put the final check upon the Naps' chances for the flag and in the last few days the Cleveland title even to sec ond place has been threatened. Bir mingham's men. however, made a good start in Philadelphia by downing the Athletics Saturday in the first game of the series and have an op portunity to reduce the pace makers' lead 'appreciably by cleaning up Mon day and Tuesday. The runners-up, however, are a full game worse oft than a week ago, the Athletics' lead having grown from six and a half games to seven and a half. TO TEACH SILAGE. fCoTt1ntie3 from Pag One Plainville. while Waldo held her an nual Woodman carnival. Oakley has held her tri-county fair. Other towns will have their amusements later on. One unfortunate town the forage crp special train visited was Grinnell, Gove county. A disastrous fire had burned several of the business builings, en tailing a loss of about $12,000. -This did not hinder a big turnout of her towns people and farmers to listen to the ad dresses of the visitors. During the visit at Grainfield the vis itors were taken in autos to Gove City, county seat of Gove county, a dozen miles inland. Fine meetings were held in both Grainfield and Gove City. To See Fair at Colby. The forage crops special train visi tors will be given a treat in Colby which isn't down on the train sched ule. Tttfe town will be full of people, the occasion being a one-day fair, or a contest day. as the Colby people called it at whicn trize.'werej-fterei ior the best displays of garden produce raised in Thomas county this year. The prod ucts will be arranged in a commodious room in the Wardin block. The forage crops train visitors will be shown through this room, and the many happy exnressions and remarks from them as they size up the large, healthy piles of the products of the garden, the samples of corn, wheat. milo and Kaffir, pantry stores, buttfr and fancy work only led the visitors to believe that Colby and Thomas county ought to have been blessed this year with all-round prosperity. The Union Pacific special forage train will be a big boost for the section of the state it passes through. Interested crowds of farmers have met the train at all stops. They were interested in the talks and regretted the fact thst the visitors couldn't stay longer. The farmers listened to information given by these learned students who have made it their study in the universities of the country, and it is believed the forage special will result in a rightabout-face in farming. More silos and less acreage in wheat is interesting the farmers of Thomas county. And dairy ing, too, is spreading, in fact, is already quite popular. At Colby the forage crops train people will hear something of what was once known as the "blowed out" district of Thomas county. There was a time when this district was bare as! a floor, but this year the "blown dis- trict" has right about faced ln raising crops. It is claimed by those who are in a position to know the facts that j the district raised the best crops grown in Thomas county, and that some, of the wheat made as high as 35 bush els an acre. The growth of Kaffir, milo maize and cane is thrifty and green. There will be plenty of feed raised in Thomas county this year, there being about -15,000 acres listed in the "blown district" alone. The only trouble seems to be that there will not be stock enough to eat it. Barbecue- at Hill City. Another special treat the Union Pa cific forage train visitors will meet with is the big free barbecue the Hill City people are going to give the peo ple of Graham county, Sept. 17, the day the train will be there. P. G. Holden. one of the most widely known agricul tural experts, will be one of the chief speakers on this occasion. Business houses will be generally closed that day, as w-as the custom at the big bar becue in Beloit, where not less than 12,000 were served. The Hill City peo ple request that everybody on Sept. 17 leave their pocketbooks at home. There will be plenty of amusements. While Graham countv was hit as hard by the drouth this year as all the rest of the state, there is plenty left for all, and no need of a special session of the legis lature. On the special forage train besides Prof. P. G. Holden, the noted corn ex pert, other speakers are R. A. Smith, J. G. Haney. C H. Allen. C. W. Farr, R. W. Lamson. W. R. Baughman. J. E. Waggoner and others. The work of these noted agriculturists is to help the farmers and give them practical ideas so they can help themselves, and thus build up more prosperous agri cultural communities. One of the prac tical farmers in Graham county is of the opinion that the farmers have been sowing too much wheat, besides the dry weather destroyed the corn crop. What we need, this farmer says, is to grow more forage crops, and Kaffir corn should be grown more extensively. He also is enthusiastic for the building of more silos. In the towns visited by the Union Pacific special forage train the visitors see more autos on the streets than horse vehicles, "'"'this ought to be con vincing that the townspeople ar.d far mers are prosperous. No fairer nor more fertile land is seen anywhere than along the route of the forage train. Big crops have been raised upon these lands in former years and will be again. MURDER IS OUT. (Continued from Pg OnM the newsaper.!. After! he had been ac quitted by the court on tne grounu of weak mindedness, he emigrated to New York. The Mainz episcopate was not aware that he was exercising the functions of a priest in New York. Innocent of Kellner Murder. Louisville. Ky., Sept. 15. Investiga tion here today failed to establish that Rev. Hans Schmidt, held in New York for the murder pf 'Ann Aumuller, is connected in any way with the mur der in Louisville of eight-year-old Alma Kellner, whose mutilated body was found in' the basement of St. John's Catholic church. December 8 1908, and for which murder Joseph Wendling, janitor of the church, is now serving a penitentiary sentence. Schmidt was visiting Rev. H. B. Westermann, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Louis ville, at the time of the Kellner girl's disappearance and subsequent finding of her body, which was cut into pieces and disposed of ln a manner similar to that in the Anna Aumuller case. Members of the Kellner girl's family today said they had never seen Schmidt and scouted the idea that he was in any way connected with the child s death. The lawyer who defended Joseph Wendling stated he had never heard Schmidt's name mentioned with the Kellner murder and the local police and detectives who had charge of the Investigation of the child's death made similar statements. Will Plead Insanity. New York, Sept. 15. Schmidt's de- rense probably will be insanity. Ai phone Koelble, his lawyer, so an nounced this afternoon. "I shall move to have Father Schmidt's case brought to trial at ths earliest moment possible," said Mr, Koelble. "If I then think that he is insane, I shall ask to have a commis sion appointed to determine his men tal status. If I think he is sane, I will tell him that the only thing to do is to pay the penalty. "When I saw him today he said; 'I don't need yeur services. Let's not talk about that now. Let's wait till God and Abraham have spoken. God and Abraham will communicate with you and tell you when to come to me. Don't do anything till that time.' Mr. Koelble said his client was fully aware he faced the electric chair. CHURCH TAKES IT UP. Hopes to Prove That Alleged Murder er Is an Imposter. New York. Sept. 15. In the hope of branding as an imposter a pseudo priest, the Rev.-- Hans Schmidt, the alleged self confessed slayer of Anna Aumuller, victim of New York's river murder mystery, church authorities began today a sweeping investigation of Schmidt's record and his preten sions to ordination. "We hope, of course, to be able to prove that this unspeakable monster was an Jmpostesuand that, he had been using forged- -paowre"- declared Mon signor Lavelle, vicar general of the archdiocese of New York. "That is something which we are trying to clear up now.i Jrle came to this diocese with, credentials which were apparently in every way authen tic and genuine, but we know practi cally nothing of him. His crime is too horrible to conceive. We can only hope that he may prove to have been a pseudo priest." In his cell in the Tombs, with his coat as a pillow, Schmidt slept sound ly through the night and" arose this morning to partake of a hearty breakfast.- He had little to add to his alleged confession of last night in which he is said to have told the po lice that he killed his victim as she lay in bed, cut up her body in the bath tub of the apartment where he had established her, wrapped it in five bundles and dropped the bundles in the Hudson river. To the Rev. L. J. Evers, the Tombs chaplain, Schmidt was said to have made the following declaration: "I was directed to kill her by St. Elizabeth, who is my patron, as a sacrifice, to be consummated as was the sacrifice of Abraham, in blood." To the police Schmidt is alleged to have said: "I killed her because l loved her." The police believe however, that he killed her because she was soon to be a mother. They believed the girl accepted as genuine the marriage ceremony through which she went with her al leged slayer last February and in which he was both priest and bride groom. Suspected of Another Murder. With a view to clearing the mystery surrounding the murder of eight-year old Alma Kellner, whose mutilated body was found in quicklime in the basement of St. John's Catholic church in Louisville two years and a half ago, the police sought today to obtain from Schmidt some statement of what he might know of this crime. From August. 1909, till March, 1910. Schmidt was a visitor in Louisville, not officially connected with any church there, but a guest in ihe fiome of the Rev. Henrv B. Westermann, rector of the Church of the Immaculate Concep tion. Alma Kellner disappeared Dec. 3, 1909; her body was found nine months after.N Joseph Wendling, janitor at St. Johns church, is now serving a life term in prison at Frankfort for the crime. Wendling stoutly denied his guilt and the jury did not consider the evidence sufficient to lodge against him a verdict of first degree murder. Of Schmidt's antecedents little is known here save his own claim that he was born in Germany in 1881, was edu cated there, ordained by Bishop Ksa tein in St. Augustine's seminary in Mainz, and came to New York in 1906. In 1909 he went to Trenton tnd in De pember, 1910. he was appointed assist ant rector of St. Boniface church in this city. There he met the Aumuller girl who, he said, had come to this coun try from Germany a few months be fore. Posed as a Surgeon. "I was attracted by her beauty," reads Schmidt's alleged confession. "I became infatuated with her. I loved her. I killed her. She was so beauti ful; so good. I could not let her live without me. I had made up my mind that she and I should not live together. I was a priest and must remain with my church. I could not let her go away from me. so I opened the door of the flat. I awakened her. I told her I had come to fulfill my threat. Then I drew the knife across hei throat." The skill with. which the young wo- man's body had been dismembered caused the police to .believe at first that the work had been done by a sur geon. In the flat occupied for five days by Schmidt and the girl, detec tives found 500 printed cards which In dicated that Schmidt had masqueraded as a surgeon and was possessed of more than ordinary layman's knowl edge of surgery. These cards read as follows: "Dr. Emilie Meliere, "Formerly assistant surgeon of tha Municipals Womens Hospital, x-aris. J ranee. "Representative of the Chemical Hy giene Manufacturing company." Time to Clean Up. St. Louis, Sept. 15. Judge Wilton Vandeventer in the East St. Louis city court today told the grand jury that they have an excellent opportunity to clean up East Sf Louis. The lnHn urged the Jury to heed the advice of auiie s Attorney Webb, who it is un derstood .will lay before the inquisi torial body evidence of municipal graft. TODAY'S MARKET"REPDRTS. Chicago, Sept. 15 WHEAT Wheat eased today on larger Russian shipments and more favorable weather and crop reports from Europe. World shipments proved much larger than expected. Buyers were only willing to take hold after a break, andn even there were not eager. The open ing was a shade to 4c off, and an addi tional decline followed. Falling oft in primary receipts became upturn. The close, however, was weak at &c net lower to 1-I6c advance. CORN Corn lacked much support.

STOCKS Liberal supplies of stocks from all sources today effectually checked efforts to put prices higher. Some minor shares gave an exhibition of strength, but the market generally was under pressure. Copper hares rallied briskly on the an nouncement that the price of the metal had been marked up to 17 cents by one large selling agency. Bullish operations in Reading were resumed with some suc cess toward midday, exercising a strength ening influence all around. Bonds were irregular. The rise ln stocks last week induced trad ers to take profits at the opening today and large blocks of the favorite shares were marketed; the tendency was down ward, although further advances ln a number of cases gave the list an irregular appearance. Reading advanced a point, following its rise on the London market. Canadian Pacific declined 2 points and Union pacific a point on heavy realizing. Virginia Carolina Chemical lost a point. Buying orders were cancelled when the market began to exhibit a definite down ward tendency. Quite a number of shares sold ln the neighborhood of a point below Saturday's close, with continuous pressure against the Harriraan and Steel. Bears were encouraged and put .out little short lines.

Goodby Cocreham. you did well. Cocreham never pitched a better game on the local grounds than the last game during his 'Western league career. Of course he always did have some thing on the Omaha club, but he had them hog tied in the first game of a double-header Sunday afternoon. The final count was Topeka 11, Omaha. 1. Paul Brown and McCoIlough were as wild as untamed bronchos in the sec ond game, while Brenner was in first class condition. As a result the Omaha team broke even in the double header and won the last game by the score of 7 to 0. This is the second time the Kaws have been shut out this season. The Omaha club drew 13 walks and one batter was hit by pitched ball. In making his last appearance in a Kaw uniform before leaving to make his debut as a major leaguer, Cocre ham upset the dope basket by pitching a good game of baseball, lie allowed the visitors six hits, one run, fanned three and walked two. Stunts of this character usually wind up with a farce but the big Texan went in the jame to win If he could and did win. The only run scored off his delivery was in the fourth inning. With one out. Thomason singled, stole second and scored on a single to right by Kane. This and the seventh were the only times that the visitors got more than one man on the bases or got more than one hit in any one Inning. The Kaws started the game by get ting a pair in the first. Singleton led ung a pair in me nisi, oiiigitriuu oft with a single. Cochran was hit by a pitched ball. Forsythe walked and filled the bases, McLarry forced Forsythe nt second and Singleton scored.

Carl Robinson and Doc Reynolds staged a game at League park Satur day afternoon in which each attempted to outdo the other by getting out of bad holes. Both were wild, and at times pitched good ball but a majority of the time, they allowed men to get on bases. Sometimes they prevented them from scoring and sometimes they didn't. Reynolds contributed two hits to the contest. Reynolds won the contest, with the aid of his team, which grabbed twelve hits off Robinson, which, with a. num ber of juicy errors, gave the Kaws thirteen runs. The Omahogs got but four runs off Reynolds and errors of the club were partially responsible. The Kaws bunched a triple, double and a single in the first inning for two runs, four singles, a walk, sacrifice and a base on balls netted three more in the fifth inning. The real comedy was staged in the seventh when the Kaws staged six runs off a single and two doubles, three walks, two errors, a hit batter and a sacrifice. Georga Cochran and Forsythe batted two 667 times in this inning. Two errors, a walk, two sacrifices and a stolen base allowed two more in the eighth. Schipke led off in the third inning with a walk, Robinson sacrificed, Jus tice singled and went to third on Rey nold's wild throw to first, Coyle scored him on a sacrifice fly. A double by Kane and a single by Grubb scored another in the fourth. They scored their last run in the eighth when Kane led off and walked, stole second and scored on a sacrifice fly. Doc Reynolds had many troubles beginning with the fourth inning and two men died on bases in three in nings and three men died on bases in two innings.

Milwaukee Leading by Small Margin Millers Are Contenders. Chicago. Sept. 15. The pennant race in the American association tightened up last week until it enters its last stage bearing a close resemblance to the contest of 1898. when the first four teams finished within a few points cf each other. Milwaukee's laad, threat ened a number of times since the Brewers wrested first place from Col umbus, is now challenged by Minne apolis and only a slight margin sera rates the two. A double victory by Minneapolis yesterday would have put Cantillon's men in front, but the loss of the second game to Louisville left Milwaukee ahead by a slim margin, despite the defeat of Clark's team.

Sporting News: The proposition stated in the Sporting News that the National Commission is contemplating narrowing down the major league clubs' option privilese.s is a good thing for baseball. At present major le&gue clubs are getting a corner on all the promising material and it is being horribly wasted under the abuse of the option system. Take the case of any minor league man ager who has under him one or more Flayers with strings to them. He has no interest in those young men except to get all he can out of them betore they are called back. If they develop and are re called he gets practically no reward, sim ply his money back, maybe a little more, in addition to the use of the player for a specified time. The minor manager will devote his developing attention to youngsters whom he claims outright and can dispose of at a large profit if they make good. That is one reason why so few young players of high class are be ing developed. Too manv of them are working with strings attached and are not bein taught much baseball by the man agers for whom they work. It is necessary, of course. ti,at a major club owner should have some method by which he can retain claim to a good pros pect which he has discovered, but which is not yet ready for working and which can not be retained on the major pay roll on account of the player limit. But the only way to improve that prospect is to develop It and the present option system works against the development of loamd players. With the approach of the season's end the utiual talk is rife of a reorganization o. the circuit. The Des Moines Register and Leader is the first to come forward with a sto5-y along this line. The R. and L. sees the passing of Denver. Wichita and Topeka and in their places puts League franeises in Minneapolis. Kansas City and Cedar Rapi'1. According to the Dee Moines scribe Minneapolis and Kan sas City would welcome clubs in the Western so as to prevent Federal invasion- Cedar Rapids' showing this season in the Central Association is responsible for mentioning the town as a Western Possibility. Those 72.000 paid admissions look good to the "mags" seeking new fields to conquer. The chances are this talk of reorganization is nothinsr but idle gossip. Denver. Wichita and Topeka will not sit idly by and see their franchises spirited elsewhere. Denver, especially, will be found in the league, even if it is reorganized. Denver will be a much bet ter town next season under a new man agement, and it is practically certain that McGili and Hendricks will be found in the A. A. in 1914. Reports from Topeka state that the club has done about all that could be expected. Wichita is. and al ways has been, the weak sister. It re mains to be seen whether the patriots will try it again. Sioux City Journal: It remains to be seen whether the Sioux City franchise is transferred. Inasmuch as the Commer cial club has shown a disposition to get behind the team, the owners may decide to give it another trial here. But the club owners have made it plain that there p. r Good Dressing a style maga zine Free. Oct tober number is now ready.

There Is a spirit of "n- nmUhn ?ther, 7Ves,r" league town". Omaha, for instance, believes it could support an American Association club 1'ans talk about these matters just as If a., a club owner had to do was move from one league into another. The Omaha Bee recently devoted considerable space to show what an absurdity it was to talk of Omaha being in the American Associa tion. In the first place there Is no open ing for Omaha in the association, and secondly, and more important than all Omaha has not the population to draw from that is required by an A. A. club. The truth of the matter is It has been an awful poor year for the Western League. Not a sinKie town can boast of any big profits, although some have made monev. I-igunng these things is largely guess work, but if the truth were known th clubs that will quit the season with losses are Sioux City, Omaha. Lincoln and Wichita. Topeka claims to have taken ln enough, money at the gate to pay ex penses. If tills is true the Kaws' sale of players will result in a profit. St Joe probably is about even, although Holland has not been penurious ln the matter of purchasing players. The attendance at Lincoln is way short of last year, accord ing to Hugh Jones. Des Moines will show a profit and so will Denver, despite all reports to the contrary. Lincoln News: The general lack of In terest in the national pastime at this time of year offers no excuse for the reluctanco shown all year bv the fans to patronize the Kame. The naked truth of the mat ter is that it beeins to look as though the localities are tired of Western League baseball and their indifference can resuit in but one thing, the abandonment of the franchise. If the people who turn the stiles, do not want a team and show that t-iey do not want one. then the owner can not be blamed if he picks up his traps and moves to a town that doe. We have no sympathy with the cities that are com pelled to go to the Commercial club or the business houses for donations to meet the expenses of a club that is well up ln the race. The fans can possibly be ex cused for not supporting a team that lingers near the last rung but when they won't turn out it is time that something should be done. During the coming win ter there will be a movement to change the circuit cutting out the dead wood and we will confess that we shudder every time we think of what Tip and the other managers will say when the records of Lincoln's attendance is revealed to them. NIX ON STRAW KELLY. Fans at Chicago Game Tear Summer JIats Off Others. Chicago. Sept. 15. Men who worn their straw hats to the New York Chicago National league ball game Sunday returned bareheaded. Fan who had distinguished themselves by buying new fall hats tore the summer hats from the less fortunate and sailed them onto the diamond. Although there were numerous fights, no o:ie safely wore his straw hat throughout the game. The remains of several hun dred straw hats were picked up by the ground keeper after the game.

FULL IEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Recent reports indicate that hari kari is still the popular sport in Japan. Mr. Thaw's outing has already en abled him to be seen in several states, including that of great excitement. Anyway, it isn't alleged that it's any part of Secretary Bryan's duties with the tent show to bay like a blood hound. An arbitrary edict of fashion is not nearly so effective in calling in the straw hats as is a change in the weather. Even the most pronounced anti militarists in this section never have a word of criticism to make against General Rain. Now it is the turn of the New Hampshire lawyers to smack their lips over the prospects of large bites at the Thaw bank roll. California gets some more unde sirable advertising out of the fact that the bubonic plague has claimed two victims there recently. And the more Americans Senor Huerta sends home, charges prepaid, the freer will he be to keep the presi dency as long as he likes. The state censors have barred har rowing crimes from moving picture shows in Ohio, perhaps-on the theory Ihat the newspapers are enough. Washington can boast, says the "Washington Post, of at least one popu lar amusement house that provides the country with continuous perform ances. a Japan has fired an -ultimatum at China. However, a strong string or two Is usually attached to Japan's ul timatums. Like all clever people the Japs are great bluffers. Another peculiarity about the Kan sas weather is that it is either far above normal or away below it. In other words, normal weather in Kan sas would be abnormal. Foster Dwight Coburn. secretary of the state department of agriculture, is a dealer in facts. His fine tribute to the magnitude and worth of the To peka fair should be convincing. Suppose the fish that Professor Dyche distributed last year at a cost of $2 each weighed an ounce apiece. That would make them worth $32 per pound, which is a rather classy price for fish. Frozen fresh eggs have been ap proved by the United States bureau of chemistry as a wholesome article of food. It is now distinctly up to some poultry Burbank to develop a hen that will lay them in that state. And the chances are good that none of the boy bandits who used for their headquarters the cave near Hannibal, Mo., made famous by Mark Twain, ever read either "Tom Sawyer" or "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." wm Each day in congress is now the same as the day before. It is a case of debate, debate, debate, nothing but debate. And the only publication in the country that gives any attention to this tremendous waste of words is the Congressional Record. There Is some consolation in the news that the supply of potatoes is adequate for the winter season, but the rub will come in annexing enough meat to provide the requisite juice and grease for the gravy. Potatoes minus gravy are pretty much of a fraud. Mr. Bryan probably feels highly complimented that he has been char acterized by former Congressman Watson as the John B. Rockefeller of the Chautauqua platform. This calls attention to his prowess as a money maker, and that appears to be his chief aim in life. As a performer in ways mysterious the Kaw river is in a class by itself. During the last week or so of the drouth, the Kaw put on the astonish ing stunt of increasing the depth of its waters a few inches. Heavy rains have been falling during the past few days all along the Kaw valley, and yet the river is now falling. Nobody knows what the Kaw will do except the Kaw and it probably doesn't know Why it does it. THREE BIG BROTHERS. Not much in the way of serious con sideration was given to the suggestion that Brazil, Argentina and the United States join hands for the purpose of acting as mediators between the rival factions in Mexico, and thus bring about a settlement of their differences and the establishment of law and order once again in that unfortunate land. But there is much of merit in it. And a concert of these three nations to act in matters of this sort in Central and South American affairs might result in great and effective good. Since the promulgation of the famous Monroe doctrine, the United States has been playing the role of "big brother" to the smaller republics of the south. It has been a difficult one at all times. This is but natural. A small nation that is struggling on its way to sta bility through a variety of vicissitudes, including revolutions, is sure to be re sentful against such an attitude from a larger and all-powerful neighbor, no matter how good the latter's inten tions may be. It is sure to impugn ulterior motives no matter' in what di rection the. hand of help is extended. This is especially true of a nation whose people are of a proud and haughty temperament, as is the case in Central and South American coun tries. During the past quarter of a century, though. Brazil and Argentina, working generally along the lines that have been followed in the development of these United States to their present majestic proportions, have establishei firm and stable governments. They are prosperous and progressive nation. Their ideals are high. Their sense of justice is profound. They are worthy in every way of seats at a council ta ble with the United States. With "three big brothers'" in a league for the promotion of peace and jus tice in Central and South America, the accomplishments would be certain to be much larger than with one "big brother" working alone. Such criti cism as is now made against the Unit ed States acting in these premises, anij the resentment that is occasioned thereby, could not possibly develop, the disinterestedness of the mo tives of "three big brothers" working together would be apparent. They could have nothing but the welfare of their neighbors at heart. That has al ways been the attitude of the United States, but acting alone, it has been almost impossible to Impress this fact on the minds of those affected. Such a league between Argentina, Brazil and the United States would provide the Western Hemisphere with a dove of peace that would be Worth while. A WOMAN" CLEANS CITIES. In the September American Maga zine appears an article about Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane, who is a professional "Municipal Sanitarian." She is hired by cities, which gladly pay her $100 a day for her services, furnish funds for all expenses, a secre tary, automobiles, theaters and halls for meetings, official authority to conduct her investigations, and an escort to accompany her. Fifty-two cities in the United States have al ready hired her. She calls her visits, "Sanitary Surveys." When a city de sires her services it calls upon her as a professional municipal expert, and places the keys of the munici pality at her disposal. She personally investigates the city's resources, and everything that concerns community life. She stirs up public opinion, and in this manner makes her work ef fective. The following extract from the article gives some idea of the re sults of her work: "The practical results of Mrs. Crane's surveys all over America pre sent a sum total of Improvement that is inspiring. Sometimes she has ap peared as a prophet of warning. In 1910 Mrs. Crane told Erie, Pa., that it ran the danger of a terrible epi demic unless it purified its water sup ply: in 1911 Erie had one hundred and three deaths from typhoid, untold suffering, and a municipal expense of twelve thousand dollars. At Sea Breeze, Florida, a great hotel was condemned for lack of fire escapes and proper fire protection: the hotel burned to the ground two weeks later, and the guests barely escaped with their lives, some by jumping from the windows. A Rochester, New Tork, school building, the twin of one con demned by Mrs. Crane, was also burn ed before that active city could put through various improvements upon which It had determined after her visit. At Harrodsburg, Kentucky, where an angry official sued Mrs. Crane but afterward found his case quashed, the contract system of car ing for the poor was abandoned and a new almshouse built. A tubercu losis sanitarium rose at Faducah, Kentucky, and at Valley City, North Dakota, a beautiful new infirmary re places the old poorhouse. At Albert Lea, Minnesota, the citizens boast a new municipal hospital; at Big Rapids, Michigan, a fine new abattoir. At Rochester, Minnesota, the father of a child in one of the public schools altered a whole classroom to demon strate Mrs. Crane's system of scientific lighting, while at Mankato, Minnesota, the bakeries and market places went through a thorough cleaning and scouring to get upon the 'white list' suggested by Mrs. Crane. "Of equal If not greater value are the general results. In some twenty cities which Mrs. Crane has surveyed, permanent civic leagues have been begun, under various names, to work at various tasks.

A Mitchell county farmer walked over two sections of corn field one day last week to get enough roasting ears for the evening meal, tells the King man Leader-Courier. The corn was small and scrawny so the wife cut it off the cobb, cooked It and served it in a bowl. The daughter of the house had Invited her best fellow in to eat and when the corn was passed to him he took two or three generous help ings. The farmer, who had been watching the Best Fellow dip his spoon deep Into the corn finally said: "Say, Jim, you're going pretty strong there, ain't you?" "I don't know," returned Jim, the best fellow. "Why?" "Well, nothing much," said the far mer, "only you've got about ten acres of corn on your plate already." It is reported that one of our farmers lost his can of syrup while taking his poisoned bran home Sat urday, relates the J-etmore Republi can. Having no syrup to mix the bran, he concluded to try an experi ment. He had a full quart of Hay ner which he mixed with the. bran In place of the syrup. He reports that the hoppers seemed to take to this mixture even better than to the ordinary bran mixtures. He said an old male hopper would' come along, take a bite of the bran, jump about four feet high, spit a stream of to bacco juice, light down and take an other bite, and then start out to lick the first hopper he met. In this way all the hoppers in the field were soon fighting each other and the carnage was awful. As soon as one hopper would kill another he would jump onto another hopper and this con tinued until there was but one big old hopper left. Pretty soon an old rooster came along and made a dive for this big hopper, but Mr. Hopper instead of allowing himself to be quietly eaten, jumped up and kicked the old rooster in the face, spit to bacco juice in his eyes and chased him under the barn.

Tile Diary of a Honeliead. A sail boat is a thing whose floor sets at an angle of 90 degrees, through force of habit when there is no wind blowing and whose floor sets straight up and down like a dining room wall when there is a breeze. A man to be an expert sailor should have vacuum cups in his feet like a fly so that he can walk right up the face of a flat surface that is stood on end and wiggling furiously. I had always watched the cute things as they darted about the bay, hither and yon, spilling their loads of precious human freight at least three or four times every trip and marveled at the foolhardiness of amateur sailors. If any man had predicted that I was going out in my friend's sail boat, I would have called that person a liar. I think my friend got me aboard by resorting to hypnotism. At least I didn't realize it at all until we were 4 0 rods from the dock and gaining headway every second. I was so ter rorized that I lay flat across the deck. When the yacht heeled over one way, my feet dragged in the water and once I felt the water up to my knees. When we heeled over the other way, my head was under water as far as my collar button. They were a jolly lot of dogs on that vessel. They took a drink all around while the deck was occupying a perpendicular position and the sail was almost lying flat on the water. They said they hoped the old sloop would tip over, as they hadn't had a particle of real excitement thus far summer. At that the skipper gave a vicious jerk at the tiller and we slewed around like a $300 automobile taking a corner on a slippery afternoon. The boom swung around and knocked three of them into the bay and then we tipped over. The life saving crew got me about 9 o'clock that night after I had floated all around the bay seven times on the upturned boat. The rest of the party swam ashore and had a fish supper at the hotel which I had planned earlier In the day. I was the host but they got along very well without me. They called me a gay old dog and maybe I am, but I am not a water spaniel. Never again on a sail boat for your Uncle Abijah. 1 1 II VI ITS TIDE. I thought I had forgotten you.

THE EVENING STORY The Useless Ornament. (By Annie Hinrichsen.) "But, governor," protested Gerald I Devon, "I don't want a woman in this department. "You will have to have one," an swered the governor. "Helen Norris is a daughter of the late Senator Nor ris, in his day one of the greatest men in the party. She has been left penniless and is compelled to support herself. For her father's sake, I shall give her an excellent position in one of the state departments. She is in experienced never has worked. She is young, beautiful and charming." "I don't want beautiful, useless, young women in this department," persisted Devon. "They are more in terested in themselves and in the men in the office than they are in their work. They are a nuisance. And, governor, an inexperienced girl w-ill be sure to make a serious break and get us all into trouble." "See to it that she makes no breaks. You will be responsible for her. Train her." "Perhaps she will get married," suggested Devon hopefully. "Those pretty, useless girls never work long. They marry. I hope one of our boys falls in love with her and takes her away before she makes a mistake that will ruin us all." The publicity department was main tained for the purpose of placing be fore the people of the state, by means of the newspapers, all the work that was being done by the administra tion. The department kept the peo ple of the state informed of the policy of the party in power, of the achieve ments and personalities of their poli ticians. It was an advertising bureau which showed the people the political lives of the men they had elected. The department was in charge of Gerald Devon, a trained newspaper j man. Devon's greeting to Helen Norris when she reported to him for work was that of a host to a welcome guest. He showed her to an elaborately ap pointed desk. On the desk were sev eral popular novels and a box of candy. In a few minutes she came to him. "When do I begin work?" she asked. Beneath the quiet courtesy of her voice there was a note of determina tion. "You are not supposed to work," Devon answered. "You are to orna ment the department." Miss Norris walked to her desk, picked up the books and the box of candy brought them to Devon's desk and dropped them into the waste paper basket. "When do I go to work?" she re peated quietly. Devon caught the determination in her voice. "It will be my pleasure." he said, "'to instruct you immediately in your new duties." For a month Helen Norris had been in the publicity department. "1 still insist." Gerald Devon said to her, "that you should be an orna ment and not a worker. You are do ing splendidly," he added hastily as her lips tightened with unmistakable indignation. "You are a woneder. You have learned the business quickly and well. But I don't want you in the department. I want you hi.-? keen eyes had lost their hardness and his firm lips were very gentle "I want you In my own home as my wife. I love you, Helen. I have loved you ever bince you came here. I "Don't speak to me." Her face was white. She stood before him, her hands clenched ti?htly at her sides. "Don't ever ngain tell me that you love me." She spoke slowly with an emphasis which made each word a distinct command Before he could answer she had left the room. An hour later a clerk come to her desk. "I have come for the copy tnat is to go to the afternoon papers," he said. "Mr. Devon said it was on your desk. Helen handed him a large envelope The afternoon papers exploded a bombshell in the political party that ruled the state. The announcement was made that the governor had deter mined to Introduce certain measures in the legislature. The legislature was not in session and would not be for several months. The announcement was equivalent to a declaration that the chief executive intended to call a special session to enact the measures. The ink was not dry on the papers before the entire state was wondering why a special session of the legisla ture was to be called. Gerald Devon answered a summons to the governor's office. "Who is responsible for this an nouncement?" The governor's voice had the ring and his eyes had the color of cold steel. "I am, your excellency. I am guilty of criminal carelessness. You outlined to me your plans for certain legisla tion to be enacted at next winter's session. I wrote the plans and laid them aside to be used next winter. To day, instead of the story on other mat ter which I had prepared for the pa pers. I gave them, by accident, your plans." "Accidents, Devon, are never for given in the publicity department. The man who makes a break like this nev er has the opportunity to make an other." "I know it, your excellency. I came prepared to offer you my resignation." "You did it yourself. Devon? It was not one of your cleks?" "The fault was mine, sir." The door opened. Helen Norris walked up to the governor's chair. "Governor Hay," she said. "I have come to tell you that I am to blame for the story that is in the papers. Mr. Devon often gives me the copy for final corrections before it goes to the papers. I knew that the legislative story was to be held back. I gave it by mistake to the clerk who gave it to the papers. "Mr. Devon says he did it." "He did not do it. The fault was mine. The blame Is mine." "The blame is mine." broke in Dev on. "Miss Norris had nothing what ever to do with it." The governor looked from one to the other. His lipe twitched. "This mat ter is for you two to settle. The acci dental announcement of my plans means a temporary embarrassment to me, but It has not caused serious harm The person who was .to blame will not be punished." "Why did you take the responsibil ity of my carelessness?" Helen de manded when they had returned to the publicity department. "I am accountable for all errors made in my department," he answered stiffly. "You believed that the governor would dismiss- the" iguilty. .person. Did you take the blame, just to spare me? Did you do it because you did hot want me to get Into trouble? I'll tell you why I made the mistake.-. I was wretchedly unhappy. I had refused you because because you said you did not want me in your department, a useless ornament,' a nuisance, interest ed only in myself and the men in the office. You said you hoped some one would marry me and take me away. The first day I was here you treated me as if you considered me a simple ton. I hated you. And I loved you and I wanted to marry you and I would not. I was so unhappy because I could not forget my anger and say yes that I hardly knew what I was doing when I &ave the clerk the copy. "But I am not angry with you now after what you told the governor. And and I am useless in your office. But in your home In your home I will not be. I shall marry and leave the de partment. Just as you said I should." (Copyright, 1913. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. Nobody Ever Does. nf 't?e greatest all enemies to progress of any sort is the phrase, or hV1 .vS 5te of Dllnd behind the phrase, "Nobody ever does." 3ihe ide 5at lf a thinS were possible and practicable to do it would have been done before sometimes has a good, solid foundation,- but quite as often it has none at all. In the old fishing town of Gloucester, half a century ago, a fisherman got It ..to, .his head tnat he might utilize the stickiness which has always been a recog nized characteristic of the finny tribe in making glue. Everyone said at once that that was impossible, because, if it were not. it would have been done before, lishes had always had the same proper ties, they pointed out, and if these proper ties could have been utilized they would have been long ago. The fisherman said nothing but he went ahead and tried out his scheme. It succeeded and he made a, fortune by it. History does not relate what became of the other fishermen who said it couldn't be done because nobody had ever done it, but you can easily Imag ine ineir snort and simple annals. "Why don't you try flavoring your gela tine with grape fruit?" I asked a neighbor of mine the other day. She had just been telling me how fond all her family were of grape fruit. "I don't think it would be good," said she. "Why not?" said I. "Well, nobody ever does use grape fruit for a flavoring," said she with an air of having completely settled the matter. Now, to be sure, grape fruit may not bo a good flavoring but I don't think that fact proves It, and the next time I make gelatine I am going to find out for my self. As I said before, there are times when the fact that "nobody ever does" rests on the foundation of some unsurmount able obstacle, for instance, on a trip to Jamaica a friend of mine had planned to bathe in the Caribbean Sea at Kingston. When he asked his fellow passengers the bathing they all said, "It may be good. We don't know. Nobody ever does' bathe there." When he reached Kingston he investigated further before giving, up his project and found 'out the reason that nobody ever did bathe was that the bay was full of sharks: Needless to say, he was quite willing to give up his bath. But you will notice he gave it- up, not because nobody ever did. but because of the obstacle that stood behind that phrase. And that to my mind is the right spirit. If an apparently feasible thing is never done, don't assume that It Is therefore undesirable to do. Try to find out why. Quite often there will not be any why and that Is your chance to be a pioneer and find out something for yourself. War Hurts Trade In Roses. "The war in the Balkans Is likely to have a more Intimate effect upon the women of Amerca and Europe than one would believe at this time," remarked Henrik Scaliger, a rosegrower of Boskoop, Holland, at the Raleigh. "Women must use perfumes and extracts from flowers for the toilet, and not a few men some times make use of toilet waters. Bulgaria has been for a number of years the chief producer of roses for commercial pur poses. Trade roses have been grown in the acres about Kasanalik, Bulgaria, and Grasse, France, for a great many years, and while these two places have been among the chief sources of supply, there are many small villages in Holland which are the centers of vast districts devoted almost exclusively to the raising of roses and other flowers for commercial pur poses. "With the long-continued war in the Bal kans, and Bulgaria faring perhaps worse than all the other states of that region, the great rose industry of Kasanalik must necessarily suffer. The output of roses from Bulgaria this year probably will be so small that attar of roses and other perfumes will be exceedingly scarce and the price, of course, must soar. "Boskoop, In Holland, Is known as the rose garden of that country. The supply from Boskoop and other villages In Hol land doubtless will be used to make up the deficiency from Bulgaria, but it will not be enough. The quality of Boskoop roses cannot be surpassed anywhere In the world. In horticultural shows all over the world, prizes are taken every year by Dutch growers. Boskoop is a village, but it is continually Increasing Its area. Like Aalsmeer, it is intersected by canals, which have smaller tributaries so disposed as to surround almost every individual domain with a moat. Each house Is ap proached by a drawbridge. The whole area of Boskoop is about 2,000 acres, and there are about 350 proprietors so that the aver age holding of each proprietor is six acres. The production of roses, however, is so great as to give every- -rose grower a tidy income. Of course, the world knows of the fame of Haarlem, the nursery of the tulip and hyacinth. What 'my lady' may lose from the war In Bul earia. Dossibly will be supplied by Holland. but there is small chance that the manu facturers of essences ana perlumes can get enough roses this year to meet the demand for extracts." Washington Post. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. (From the Chicago News. Too much charity Is nearsighted. A woman of tact smiles when her rival Is praised. It might add to happiness if doctors had bargain days. When duty calls It Is frequently told that the line is busy. Some things come to pass that ought to go the other way. Domestic economy goes lame when a woman buys eggs at a bargain sale. A pessimist would rather be a wet blanket than be able to set the world on fire. The woman who thinks her husband tells her everything he knows Is entitled to another think. Even if a man doesn't shine In society he may have a wife who thinks he is the real thing In brilliants. How a girl does hate to have red cheeks just after coming out of a dark hall with a young man who needs a shave. We know a young man who Is a member of an amateur theatrical society, belongs to a glee club and writes poetry, yet he claims to have no vices. j KANSAS COMMENT THE WHY OF IT. Some time ago in a Kansas town a 'prominent citizen died. He was a poor man, but because of his1 good citizenship he had all the honors be stowed" upon him the town people could give; The citizens who had honored" him while living, also hon ored him when dead. The stores of the town were all closed and business was suspended while the funeral was being held, and his coffin was smothered with flowers. Not long after the event above happened, the small child of a laboring man who lived in the same town died. The funeral was poorly attended, there were no flowers. Why this differ ence? The facts are that the man in the case was honored because he was a man whom people could de pend on, whose word was as good as his bond, whose example was worthy of imitation, while the father of the child was a man who worked little, paid as few of his bills as possible, boozed when opportunity presented, talked profane and vulgar language on the. streets; in fact, was anything but a gentleman, and his whole fam ily suffered for It. Money had noth ing to do with the case. The differ ence was caused by one man being a real man and the other being a thins called a man. Hope Dispatch. NEED NOT BREED MOSQUITOES.

Fernand Labori head of the French bar, which is almost as ceremonious as the English, dropped into a Chicago court the other day and was horrified to see lawyers appealing to the God dess of Justice, with shirt sleeves rolled back, sans coat and sans dig nity. M. Labori likewise shriveled at the familiarity which permits an American judge to address a reporter as "Jones" or "Smith." "Never would It be done in France," said the dis tinguished visitor. "Not that it mat ters, of course. It Is only a question of form." This is not the first time American negligee and unconvention allty has shocked the foreigner, ac customed as he is to rigid observ ances of set customs. The trouble is, the foreigner is too liable to believe that the customs he has set at home are those which the whole world should follow, and that any deviation from them must stamp the offender as hopelessly declasse. He forgets that Americans who go abroad are also often shocked at customs which obtain there, customs which would be mis demeanors in this country, and if not misdemeanors, then serious breaches of good form. In Paris man slaps his high hat down on top of his head as soon as the curtain drops for the entr'acte at the opera or theater. He does not do that in America. And that, too, is only a question of form. It is not a question, precisely, of good or bad form in either case, but merely a difference in form. Our court pro cedure, it must be admitted, is often lacking in spectacular dignity. We do live in a shirt-sleeve atmosphere, fig uratively and literally. In a court room, a hotel foyer, a cafe, the tem perature often in this country shows scant respect for the time-honored canons of etiquette. It becomes eith er a question of suffocating in defense of decorum, or by shedding the coat, of going on with the conduct of busi ness. Shirt sleeves and a collarless neck may not improve the picture; but they aid in preventing total dis comfort and often total disability. M. Labori may not hava discovered this practical side of it. But we venture to say that, had he been obliged to sit continuously in any American court room throughout the past frightfully hot summer, he would have done so. Cincinnati Times-Star. HIGHER STANDARDS. We rejoice that it Is increasingly difficult to find recruits for the Ameri can army, for two especial reasons. The first Is that civil life Is more re munerative: the second is that civil life is more attractive entirely aside from the matter of remuneration. To gether, these two reasons demonstrate that the best class of citizenship is in much larger proportion among the younger men of the United States than in the old days when there were an abundance of recruits. It takes man to satisfy the average young man his intelligence is greater, and his ambi tions not easily satisfied. In other .words, the percentage of riffraff Is growing smaller. (For aside from that proportion of young men who loved regular army life because they were born soldiers, and that other propor tion of regulars who did not like sol diering but followed it because more congenial occupation was not to be eas ily had, the regular army for the most part was made up of riffraff not many years ago.) That this Is all different now is matter for congratulation for the entire country. Now mind, we are not rejoiced because it Is more and more difficult to keep the stated num ber of regiments full. We believe in a regular army properly equipped and drilled. What w-e are rejoicing about is the prospect that the army quota cannot be filled without raising very materially the standards of life for tho soldiers. Thev must have educational opportunities: they must have oppor tunity for refined and educational rec reation; they must be treated as equals not in rank, but in the quali ties that go to make up the gentleman who is self respecting and of superior intelligence. In other words, the reg ular army must afford an education, a home, religious life. In other words, it must be a vocation, and not a pres ent occupation for dullards, incompe tents, rowdies and roughnecks. This demand for something better by the enlisted soldier and the would-be sol dier evidences an improving civiliza tion, a higher average of intelligence among the average of men, with cor responding higher average conceptions of patriotism and duty.

After a long drouth or when growth is stunted from other causes, the leaves of the sorghums often con tain a large amount of prussic acid, the veterinarians say. It requires or.lv a small amount of this acid to kill an animal, and death frequently comes soon after the sorghum is eaten. Prussic acid does not appear in appreciable quantities in a normal growth of sorghum crops and it so largelv disappears when a crop is dry that cured sorghum hay may be fed with safety. To be on the safe side farmers, when in doubt, should try out the feed on a few animals. If no bad results occur within 2 4 to 4 8 hours, the feed may be considered safe. A strong solution of glucose, which nearly every farmer has at hand in the form of "corn syrup," or mo lasses, may be administered as an antidote to animals that have been stricken after eating the hay. Large quantities of milk may also be given with good effect. Another effective antidote is this: A solution of 100 parts of sulphate of iron is mixed with 250 parts of water. These two solu tions are then mixed and given to horses or cattle in doses of 10 to 40 ounces. In all cases the animals should have as much fresh air as possible. STUDIO IS ROBBED. Burglars Break' Into Boeder Gallery and Steal Gold Medals. The Boeger studio, 707 Kansas ave nue, was burglarized last night and two valuable gold medals were taken. The medals were prizes won at the Kansas conventions of photographers In and 1906. They were valued at over J30 apiece besides being highly prized by their owner. C. J. Boeger. The burglars cut a small pane in the glass door at the entrance of the studio and opened the burglar proof lock from the inside. This was evidently dor.e by a practiced hand, according to tho po lice who investigated this morning. Two raincoats that were hanging in side the room, were also taken. The burglar or burglars left in full sight more than they received. A large gold vase was left on a stand in the main room, the intruders probably thinking that it was too heavy. A lare disc phonograph with a diamond need'e was in plain sight and it would not have, been difficult to add a J75 diamond" to. their collection. It is the opinion of Mr. Boeger that they were after a large lens which was in a safe there. The safe was not broken into. BUTTER-FROM ABROAD Siberia and Australia Are Invading the American Market. New Tork, Sept. 13. Butter from Siberia and Australia is here in bond waiting to make its deput into the American market along with Argen tina beef which is soon expected. A full thousand firkins of the Si berian product firkins weighing about 144 pounds, each day are stored in warehouses waiting the passage of the new tariff bill which would reduce th present 6 cents tariff on butter to 2 cents. Delivered into the refrigerators, the Siberian butter has cost 20 5-8 cents a pound and adding the tax under the proposed tariff it would come to the consumer at 23 3-8 cents, said to be about 5 cents under the prevailing prices for butter of similar grade from domestic dealers. Some of the ex perts declare that the Siberian product is as good as the best grades of do mestic butter. A smaller quantity of Australian butter, and also a little from' Canada is also here in bond awaiting the opening of the gate Into the American market. NEVER AGAIN FOR HIM Kdison Is Ordered by Doctors to Take Xo More Vacations. West Orange. X. J., Sept. 15. Thos. A. Edison, who ill at his home here, has been ordeaed by his physician never to take another vacation, and has been ordered to remain away from his iabora:ory for another two weeks to recuperate from his recent fort night in New England. This was Mr. Edison's first vacation in eight years. and according to the doctor, the aging inventor is more tired out from his holiday than he ever was from work ing 20 hours a day.

It is estimated that the corn crop was the heaviest loss and a number of farmers report a yield of from ten to thirty bushels per acre. These re ports are mostly from the tarmers who own low land near the river or creeks. The corn on the uplands will be worth very little, but these condi tions are not prevailing. Although the apple crop will not be up to the standard, it is estimated that there will be a third of a crop. "I do not see where we will be hurt as much as the man in the city." said a man living near Silver Lake this morning. "For a. number of years we have been very prosperous and I don't see how one bad year will cause a famine among the farmers. Kansas had a good wheat and oat crop this year and the early crops of alfalfa were good. It seems to me that the man in the city will suffer more than the farmers owing to the exaggerated reports con cerning the drouth and the high prices of food stuffs which to a great extent are caused by these rumors." Lambert-Mower Wedding. An event which will interest many Xorth Topeka people is the wedding of Joseph Lambert of Oregon, former ly of Xorth Topeka, and Mrs. Lena Mower, which will be celebrated at the St. Joseph cathedral tomorrow.

Transnlanta tion of two solid blocks of buildings ninety-two structures in all, were started today by Hugh J. Phillips, a local contractor. Among the buildings is the historic Washington Inn, built by the first president.

SANTA FE SAVES PAPER Tons of Waste From Topeka General Offices Sold Each Year. Waste paper from the general offices in Topeka has something to do with the dividends of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad. Would you be lieve it? Waste paper flipped into wicker waste baskets amounts to a ton each day, or a carload a month, and saves the big railway thousands of dollars a year. Pounds of old rec ords become obsolete and are added to the waste. Large paper houses pur chase it, convert it into new sheets, and" pay well for it. Sawdust and shavings, nails ana small pieces of steel are saved and sold. Xothing is wasted. Cotton waste is hot ruthlessly burned, but used to start fires in locomotives. Shavings ar.? used for packing ice. Who would think of saving a lead pencil? The Chicago. Rock Island Pacific railroad recently sent a cir cular to all its employees, asking each tc use an additional inch of lead before dropping his pencil in the basket. "Thio will mean a saving to the company, the letter stated, "of $4,000 a year." The Santa Fe has its general scrap yards at Corwith, 111.," said Henry Lautz, assistant to the general mana ger in Topeka. '"Broken rails, switch frogs, spikes, bolts, nuts are gathered bv each section foreman, sorted by specially trained men, and either util ized or sold. The accumulation of iron and steel scrap is at least tons a year. A carload of sawdust is saved each day in the Topeka shops. That's no mean item in the monthly fuel bill.' CHICK EVANS COMING.

COCREHAM WILL BE KEPT Disagreement Results in Big Pitcher's Holdout Here. Crist, C. Smith and Faircloth Have Been Sent Home. The series with the Des Moines club which is scheduled to begin Tuesday of next week, will not be transferred to Des Moines. In addition to that, the series with the Wichita club which is scheduled to be played at Wichita be ginning September 30, will be trans ferred to Topeka. Pitcher Cocreham and the local baseball management have been unable to agree on his claim for a part of the purchase price to Boston, and the big pitcher will finish with the Kaws and not report to Bos' ton until next spring. It is under stood that there is another reason that Cocreham is not going to join Bos ton at this time. The big pitcher feels that to start with the big leagues at this stage of the game when the teams are playing their hardest ball would be a distinct disadvantage to him. He prefers to wait until the spring training season and work out with the players at that time. These announcements were made by Manager Dale Gear this morning. The double defeat of the Des Moines club by Denver Sunday, practically killed their chances of beating the Bears out in the race. It also l.as dampened the hopes of the Des Moines fans and Manager Gear believes the two teams will draw as many people in Topeka as in Des Moines. The race between the Kaws and Omaha for first place in the second division will arouse the spirit of the local fans. Manager Gear is determined to beat Omaha for these honors. The race between the Kaws ana Omaha sivs the two club about an equal chance. Witn the transfer of the Wichita series to Topeka. the Kaws will have six more games at home and the Omaha club has nine three of these will be played with the Kaws beginning Wednesday. Cocreliam Will Stay. Pitcher Gene Cocreham thinks he is entitled to $600 of $3,000 which tno Boston Nationals paid for his release. On account of this argument, the bonus money which was to have been paid him at League park Sunday, was withheld and the services were not held. Cocreham held an interview with A. M. Catlin, president of the as sociation this morning but Mr. Catlin refused to' accede to his demands. For this reason. Cocreham will finish the season with the Kaws and forward his claim to the national commission, po he says. Catcher Crist. outneiuer carios Smith and Pitcher Fairclo4vwho have been with the Kaws, have been sent home. Crist is suffering with a brok en finger and will be unable to play again this season. Carlos Smith is suffering witn an injured leg and has been out of the ame for several weeks, his pnysicai condition will not permit him to play again this season so he will go home and report next spring. Pitcher Faircloth belongs in tne south and reported to the Kaws for a trial as a pitcher but Manager Gear doesn't think he is strong enough to stand the pace and has decided to lot him go home. Despite the chilly weatner sunaay nearly 3,000 fans turned out to me last game with Omaha. Being a clos ing game and near the end of the series it is positive proof to the man agement that Topeka is a good Dase liall town and worthy of every con sideration in the Western League. It should pave the way for a Detter ar ranged schedule next year. In this connection it might be mentioned that the local fans have not missed a Sunday game this year. Old Sol has smiled on every saoDatn aay contest. With a team going the gait of the Kaws this summer, Topeka will set an attendance record next season. IRISH BLOOD AIDS HER Klizabeth X. Barr Tells Chicago of Her Police Qualifications. The Chicago Record-Herald says today: Topeka. Kan., has now two police women in Miss Elizabeth X. Barr and Miss Eva Corning, who re ceived the highest grades in the civil service' examination of that city. Miss Barr will be "night woman" the first month; Miss Corning will constitute the day force. While they report for duty daily to the chief, they will work largely independent of the rest of the police force. Their work will be more along preventive lines than in the arrest of the crim inally inclined among the women. For the present a star will be the only uniform the police women Will wear; aside from that they can dress as they please. Later some distin guishing feature will be prescribed, possibly only a .badge or certain style hat or cap. Miss Barr is frankly enthusiastic about her work. Also she admits she has at least one qualification for the job. "I'm part Irish," she declared after she had been sworn in. "I under stand thit is one of the requirements of a patrolman. Isn't it? "Seriously, I think we have a chance tp do a great deal of good. The idea of helping people, of help ing women in trouble or likely to be in trouble, will be the basis ot our work. It will be mostly original work, of course, as we have no prece dents to guide us or hinder us." Dance halls, places of public amuse ment, social conditions of working girls these will be among the first fields of duty for the police women. Japan Scud!- More Warships. Tokio, Sept. 15.

PJ-' GIBBS BRYAN IS PEEVISH. Secretary of State Bitterly Besents Criticisms by newspapers. Phoenixville, Pa.. Sept. 15. Secretary of State Bryan, speaking in his most serious vein, took occasion here to deny most emphatically that he is a mounte bank, a vaudevillian. a peanut secre tary of state, or that he has made a travesty on diplomacy, as has been al leged editorially by numerous leading newspapers of the United States, as well as some of the leading newspapers of England and the continent. Likewise he resents the prominence given the fact he gets the first $"50 taken in at each stand. Secretary Bryan said that he is a much-maligned individual. He takes the stand that he is "an added attrac tion" on the Chautauqua circuit and ob jects strenuously to being considered or pictured as an acrobat, a Swiss yodeler or a member of a vaudeville team. He objects strenuously to being cartooned on a stage between two perfectly ca pable members of the theatrical pro fession. "How is it." the secretary demanded from his interviewer, "that some newspaper men so color their descript ive work as to make their stories un truthful and ridiculous?" But the editorial attacks by the newspapers of England and the conti nent have bothered the secretary more than he is willing to acknowledge. He dislikes to read that he is making a travesty out of diplomacy and that his conduct causes laughter from the for eign diplomats. "What right have they to doclare I am making a travesty of diplomacy?" he asked, in a petulant manner. "They do not know the real facts. They do not stop to investigate, and they certainly should make an investi gation before making wild statements. The statements that I am neglecting my duties at Washington so that I may continue this lecture tour are abso lutely untrue. The foreign newspapers must get their ideas from the columns of the Tory newspapers of the United States." ARREST STAHL'S MAN. John Martin of Temperance Union Accused of Disorderly Conduct.

CLOSING RATE GASES. Judge McPherson Takes Up Final Action in Missouri Matter. Kansas City, Sept. 15. Proceedings incident to the entering of decrees in suits instituted by the state of Missouri to recover approximately $30,000 from the eighteen railroads named in the recent United States supreme court de cision in the Missouri two-cent passen ger fare and maximum freight rate cases were begun before Judge Smith McPherson in the federal district court here today. The money the state seeks to cover represents its expenditure in clerical work and filing suits through the extended 'rate litigation which re sulted finally in victory for the state. Attorney General John T. Barker and E. J. Bean, attorney for the public service commission, represented the state. A half Cozen attorneys appeared in behalf of the railroads. It was Judge McPherson who in 1907 issued the injunction against the en forcement of the two-cent fare law, which injunction was invalidated and the law upheld by the action of the United States supreme court last July. In entering the formal mandate of the higher court today Judge McPherson was expected to enter a formal order dissolving the injunction. Representatives of the state asked that the order include a clause making it possible for individuals to bring suit against the various railroads to collect excess rates charged them since the law was passed. Should the judge ac cede to the state's request the rail ways, attorneys said, would be laid lia ble to refund excess charges aggregat ing about $10,000,000. Court recessed at noon to resume hearing of arguments two hours later. Final action in the case was not expected before late in the day. RECORD FOR NOVELTY.

Brookline, Sept. 15. The last day of practice for the American open golf championship which starts tomorrow at the Country club found nearly all the contenders hard at work studying the distances and the run of the put ting greens. Included in the ranks were a score of amateurs who will match their game against the profes sionals in the hope of finishing in the "plate" if not in the "money." Xo amateur in this country ever has du plicated the feat of H. H Hilton of England, by winning an open cham pionship from a professional, and it was not until Jack McDermott cap tured the event in this country two years ago, that a strictly America bred golfer had overcome the English and Scottish productions. So large was the number of players at the first tee this morning, that half of the field began at the eighth hole. The first drives were made before 8 o'clock. Good caddies were at a pre mium although nearby professionals brought their own club bearers, while many carried their own bags. VETERAN WRITER DIES Frank I..

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 15. The coming winter's' gas situation presents the same, if not worse, old story of a weak, yellow, flickering light and cold meals for want of sufficient pressure. K. L. Brundrett, president of tre Kansas City Gas company, has that information for those who seek it. And yet nothing is being done in ad vance to mend the condition. It is useless for me to take the in itiative,"' Mr. Brundrett said, "because anything I or my company suggests is looked upon with suspicion. It would mean an immediate search for a 'bug under the chip.' "There is a way the consumers could get plenty of gas for lighting and i-ooking. but not for heating. It is not available for all three purposes, but there is a way to get it for two purposes to the exclusion of heating. "In my opinion and that of the company's lawyers there is a way to out off the gas for heating. It is by ordinance making the price for heat ing prohibitive. Another and a better way would be for the two utilities commissions of Kansas and Missouri to fix a uniform price for gas to be used for lighting and cooking and a uniform, prohibitive price for. gas to be used for heating. By the latter means there could be no discrimina tion among towns and cities such cs Lawrence. Topeka, Carthage, Jopliri. St. Joseph. Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo. "There is only so much gas in the fields. If all heating in the consum ing territory were prohibited it would conserve that much more to be vised at a cheap rate for cooking and light ing over a series of years. "A uniform price in the two states can" be fixed only by means of an agreement between the utilities com missions of Kansas and Missouri. If the eas is to be used recklessly for heating bv the several cities and towns the supply soon will be depleted. Then the people will have to pay a much higher price for artificial gas to be used for cooking and lighting. There will be no natural product for use of any kind. "It's a deplorable condition when people are told they cannot get gas for lighting and cooking purposes. "I am willing to discuss the ques tion and help solve it with any offi cial or set of officials who seek to in vestigate." NO MORE DARK DAYS. 1 Yank Chance Itelieves Future of Yankees Is Good.

"but the feat isn't f vital importance. I am more deep By interested in the new players to be Sled out with the idea of laying the foundation for next year. I am much iBLOurased over the work of the team just now and feel sure that the dark days have gone forever. "When I took hold of the team I had very little first class material to work with. The Bermuda trip was harmful, too, and the crippled condition of the pitchers, particularly Ford and Cald well, was a big handicap. But we have made pretty good in weeding out unde sirable timber to make room for new men who will have a thorough trial this fall and again in the spring."

Milady Should f Not Worry Just a Mild Form. Why do women love to' dress? Is it because they love to dress for other women? Do they dress for their hus bands or admirers? Do they dress for their own amusement or pleasure? Dr. C. T. Ewart of London says it is none of thesis things. Dr. Ewart says that women love to dress because they are- slightly in sane. He says that love of dress is merely a slight, neglected form of in sanity. While he admits that it is not a dangerous form ai d that the woman who loves pretty clothes is usually not cepable of doing violent damage nor ought to be confined in an asylum, he insists it is one of the many harmless forms of insanity that exist in many persons in various degrees, and should be cured. According to Dr. Ewart. there are two distinct classes of women who are slightly insane on the subject of clothes. One class of women is the class who are actuated by the mere desire for self display. The only reason this woman dresses is to "show off," to make a good appearance, to create envy and approval. Women of this class dress up just to look well before others. Doc tor Ewart has discovered that this wo man is pretty apt to be a slattern in appearance when not on dress parade. She cares only about impressing oth ers, and is often disgusting in appear ance when alone or just with her fam ily. In addition, in the case of the wo man who is suffering from this kind of insanity, the unseen parts of her ap parel, even when she is on parade, to quote Doctor Ewart, "are usually of an entirely different order from that seen. The second type of woman who is in sane on the subject of clothes is the one who, like the woman who constant ly washed herself, receives her im pulses from an esthetic sense. She is in love with the beautiful, the dainty, the delicate. A woman "whose love of clothes is due to a fine esthetic sense becomes more and more particular about her clothing the more intimate its relation to her body. She usually washes too much, and is too careful about her garments, becoming too par ticular about brushing them, washing them and hanging them away. Being "crazy about clothes" is no longer a joke, but a stern reality that must be cured, according to Doctor Ewart, if the modern woman is to be kept normal and sane. LACKING IN SENSE.

The American embassy is inclined to believe reports of their detention by rebels were without'foundation. This is based on a telegram from John li. Silliman, United State vice consul at Saltillo, saying they had passed Par ras. half way to Saltillo, in safety. From Parras, it is said, the refugees intended to take a route to the north east toward Reata, doubtless in order to escape the rebel bands along the di rect route and possibly to entrain at Reata for Monterey.

Washington. Sept. 15. The cost of living on June 15 was practically 60 per cent higher than the average be tween 1S90 and 1900, more than 3 per cent higher than it was a year ago and nearly 15 per cent higher than it was two years ago. Investigations of prices in 40 cities conducted by experts of the bureau of labor show prices practically at the same level as last November, when the high records of the last quarter cen tury were reached. Fourteen articles of food were in vestigated and compared with the av erage prices between 1890 and 1900. Ev ery one except sugar showed a marked advance. 'Bacon, which led in the soaring, went up 128.5 per cent. Other articles which showed remark able advances were: Pork chops. 111 per cent: round steak. 102.5; smoked ham, 84; hens, 76.8: sirloin steak. 73.2: rib roasts. 75: lard, 66.5: cornmeal, 57.3; potatoes, 44.4; butter. 41.3; eggs, 40.8: milk. 38.4, and flour. 26.6. During the same period sugar showed a decline of 8 per cent. During the last year prices of eleven of 15 articles investigated went up. Bacon advanced 16.2 per cent; smoked hams, 14.1; pork chops, 13.4; hens. 11.6: eggs, 11.7: round steak, 10.1: sirloin. 9.8: lard, 7.2; rib roast, 6.8; butter, 5.8. and milk. 4.1. The other four declined as follows: Potatoes. 31.9; sugar. 15.2; wheat flour, 1.1, and corn meal, 3.9. Bentonville, Ark.. Sept. 15. W. H. (Coin) Harvey announced himself today as a candidate for congress in the Third Ar kansas district. Harvey In his speech said he desired to accomplish three things: A higher standard of citizenship and through that a better administration of the gov ernment; the building of good roads, and the adoption of the referendum. SPORT SNAP SHOTS. (By Morris Miller.) These Miilkm Dollar "Beauties." "We gave 'em 20,000 bones And threw in Pitchers Smith and Jones, For this here southpaw guy." So spake the manager.

Often big league clubs buy ball play ers from the bush leagues. And then it is given out tnat rinKy vt nue-, v. r ,.cr,r-r hnv. is SL S20.000.000 beauty. Whereupon everyone flocks to the ball parK to see rinsy pci- -i i o t thd sme time increase the attendance. It always works fine. But occasionally a few tracks are left uncovered ana we smeii a suspicion. Frinstance. St. Louis recently brag ged that they paid $7,000 for Elmer Brown, from Montgomery. Only $4,000 of this price was accounted for. however, and the remaining $3,0 00 seems somehow to have disappeared. There is no very fat opportunity of verifving these figures, however, as the books of most ball clubs are not exactly open to reporters. Occasion ally good prices are paid of course. But a grain of salt is a good appe tizer. Some of the famous twirlers of today have walked right into a rep., but most of them have had to work a bit before pulling down the big wages. Christy Mathewson and Ed Walsh are two ex cellent examples of the pitchers who had to work and who didn't burn things up the first season they hit the big show. Matty's first big league try out was with Cincinnati some few moons ago and he was far from a world beater there. At that time it was thought to try him in the outfield he was such an indifferent pitcher and also he was considered as a probable first baseman. It was three seasons before Matty seemed to show anything at all. but of course after he was once started. we all know what he did. Ed Walsh was starring with Newark in the Eastern league when he was grabbed by Chicago and great things were expected of him. He developed slowly there and it was several seasons before he made much of a showing. Joe Wood. too. when he first went to Boston from Kansas City had a great record, but his debut into the big leagues was not startling. In fact so much so-that'he was almost sent back to the bushes. Then of course there's Kube Marquard. who showed little at all for two seasons. Walter Johnson is fen. example of the sort who start at the start and continue to do so for aye. Johnson was a marvel the first month he; reported in the big league and he's been much the saone, if not more so, ever since. Grover Alexander of the Quakers is another. He had 'em guess ing ,at the very first and seemed to make good right away. Most of the big; boys, the bright particular stars, had hard pulline at first and only won their laurels after, several seasons of good hard work. A good thing for the ambitious young to keep in mind. According to all of the most recent dispatches the Johnson-Langford mill at Paris in December, if It takes place as 'scheduled, will elicit many raucous guffaws from all beholders. It's sure to be a farce, say those who have seen Langford and Johnson lately, because both of them are fat as can be. Jack Johnson has been doing a vodevil turn in C England this summer and has trained none at all. Eating, drinking and being merry has added many a pound of flesh to the frame of the big smpke and the sparring exhibition he gives in his act is said to be a screech. After boxing two rounds with a part ner 100 pounds his inferior in the mat ter of weight. Johnson is so completely tuckered out that he drops exhausted inte a chair. Langford is just about as bad. From Boston we learn that over eating more than anything else has played the deuce with Sam's condition and- that he too is hog fat. Considera ble training will have to be done by both parties if they expect us to take their fight seriously. LOCAL MENTION. W. E. Jeffrey, Dentist. 706 Kansas ave.

TJIE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1913- MOTORV&WEIGHT Automobiles Cause Fat, Say Topcka Insurance Men. People Have Stopped Walking Avoirdupois Is Result. WHFRE ARE SLENDER GIRLS? Constant Riding Has Devel oped Husky Young Things. Yes, Sir, It Takes a Lean Horse for a Long Journey. How much do you weigh? And have you an automobile? This isn't an ad for an avoirdupois reducer, but ques tions asked by curious insurance agents In Topeka. oMtor cars are alleged re sponsible for many evils statistics just gathered for 1912-1913, year ending July 1. show that speed-mad Topeka. not ileigning to walk, has increased alarm ingly in weight. Motor cars, motor boats, motorcycles, taxis and trolleys have caused an increase of 20 pounds per head among large groups of peo ple in this country, and TopeKa is no exception. Where are the girls of yesterday? The winds have blown them all away, so saith the poet. The slender damsels who tripped blithely about before au tomobiles were invented have given way to big. muscular, husky young things who guide a car with iron fing ers. Very good but the middle aged people, according to statisticians, are becoming fat and lazy. They glide jfbout in machines, ride six blocks in pireet cars, and forget how to walk. "Women 40 years of age formerly weigh ed 145 pounds now they weigh 165 pounds. Reports were compiled by Dr. Mau rice Phelps and Dr. J. B. Smitn, grad uate stavisticians, who declare the in crease in weight is almost wholly due to lack of exercise. Degeneration and decay so say the insurance doctors. Swimmers buy motorboats, pedestrians "buy motorcycles, tne general public rides in automobiles. Doctors declare the increase in fat has been accompanied by heart mala dies, hardened arteries, blood pres sure, cancer and kidney disease all due to inactivity. Amer.can men and women 40 years of age must exercise in order to preserve the strength of the nation. There's an old adage .which states briefly and truly: It takes a lean horse for a long journey. St. Louis, died here today. Death was due primarily to the rupture of an ar tery while playing golf Sunday.

New York, Sept. 15. A strong showing was made by the stock market last week under the lead of Cnion Pacific which soared over 10 points. The exceptional strength developed by this market leader was due to reports that a cash distribu tion would be made to shareholders from the proceeds of the company "s sale of the Southern Pacific holdings. The rise in Ia stock influenced the market in gen eral. Several other influences contributed to the growth of a more cheerful feeling. The monthly statement of the Cnited States Steel corporation, while revealing a further shrinkage in unfilled orders, made a better showing than was expected. The copper producers' figures indicated that supplies of the metal on hand were the smallest in years. The crop report cleared up uncertainty regarding the extent of damages from drought and the indicated yield of corn was larger than many esti mates. Trade conditions were little changed. Money rates held fairly steady with some stiffening of call funds. Bankers looked for an increased outflow of money to the interior, in response to the vearly "demand at this season. SMITH A CANDIDATE. Rumors of Supreme Bench Ambition for Rooks County Jurist. The pastures in the vicinity of To peka already show marked improve ment as a result of the recent heavy rains. W. D.

Judge Charles W. Smith of Hooks coun ty who has presided over the Thirty fourth judicial district for 26 years, has announced that he will not be a candidate next year to succeed himself.

When Judge Smith leaves the bench in January, 1915, he will have established a record for long service on the bench In Kansas. He was first elected in 1889, when the Thirty-fourth district was cre ated and has presided over the district since that time.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBEE 15. 1S13. RA!LR0AD NEWS Agents Aroused (Her Annual Vacation Statement. Station Jlen Deny That They Favored by Officers. ONLY GEMEMlIfFICE &SEN i L Rock Island Employee Writes a Strong Letter. Other Items of Interest in the Traffic World. Xot since the time when the State Journal printed various letters from railroad station agents complaining of the threat to cut down free transpor tation has the agency fraternity co operated in the rebellion against the management as it "has recently. In the last two weeks scores of letters from agents of the Rock Island and Santa Fe have come to this otEce in denial of the railways" statement that vacations on full pay were given to all employees on monthly salaries. It a pears from the correspondence that the railroads do not give vacations on pay to the stakn agents and opera tors. It appears also that the rail ways did not include the station rep resentatives when they made the va luation statement. Without a doubt the Statement when dissected includes the employees of the general offices and a lew other offices along the lines. Xaturally. railways do not give va cations to the men who work, by the day. This is not a custom in very many labor employing industries in the country. The man .who is paid by the month usually is the man who is given th alrmial vacation. Delow is a letter received by a Rock Island agent today: Kditor State Journal, Topeka. Kan. Sir: Xoting the reply in today's pa per issued by the Santa Fe's general office clerks regarding the two weeks' vacations with full pay. Xow. Mr. Editor, and readers of the journal, 1 wish to Dack up -Mr. Drake s letter as issued by him a few days ago and I say Mr. Drake is correct. It may be that the employees of the Santa Fe general offices get two weeks' I 66 V She used to leave Jialf of her food till I let tier chew i him m it t i s Chew it after BUY IT BY Look for the vacation each year with full pay but it s a cinch I don't or we don't." By we. I mean the agents and operators of the Great Rock Island Lines. I am in the harness right ,now as an agent cf the Rock Island and I draw the meager salary per month of J65. and It keeps me guessing how to make both ends meet and I have not had as much as. one day' vacation since I started to work for the Rock Island Lines and the main reason is simply because I cannot afford 1. When I take a vacation my pay stops immedi ately and I want you to know that the Rock Island does not allow the lower paid classes any vacation with full pay, or even part pay, while off on a vaca tion. I have been working now on the Rock Island for the past several years and I would like very much to trade positions with some of the employees of the general offices of the Santa Fe who get a vacation with ull pay. etc., and I think he would be howling, tqo. if he got it stung to him like some one is try ing to hand it to Mr Drake and some more. The majority of railways, and I think very few. do not allow any pay to the lower paid employees while off on vacation. AGENT. SAXTA FE BITS A NEW LIVE. Negotiations Nearly Closed for Sale of El Keno Western. Fort Smith. Ark., Sept. 15. Negotia tions for the sale of the Fort Smith Western railroad and its subsidiary, the St. Louis. El Reno v'estern rail road. o the Santa Fe system have reached such a stage that announce ment is expected t" be made within -short time that the deal ha3 been successfully closed. It was said by rail way men here today t' a party of Santa Fe officials have spent the last thice days inspecting the road from Sparks, Ok., where It crosses the Santa Fe tracks, to El Reno, the present western terminus. These officials are expected in Fort Smith tomorrow to commence an investigation of the east ern end of the line. According to the highest railroad authorities in Fort Smith, the transfer will take piace. The object of the Santa Fe in pur chasing this road is to find an outlet to the Mississippi river. Should the sale take place It is asserted by local railway officials that the Santa Fe will extend the line from Fort Smith to either Memphis or Cairo. III. GOOD SHOWING TOR AUGUST.

That brought the proceedings around to a good-humored stage. Even the court attendant struck up a little tune, softly humming "Let a Little Sunshine In." Mr. Carey said he had the automobile lamps for sale, and was merely displaying his wares the same as any other merchant. "You are displaying more wares than your own," charged the police man.
