AFFAIR IS MOST BRIUW Since the Coronation of King George and Queen Mary. Ceremony Is Pronounced by Archbishop of Canterbury. London, Oct. 15. Prince Arthur, of Connaught. son of the Duke of Con naught, governor general of Canada, was today married to Princess Alex andra Victoria, duchess of Fife, eldest daughter of the widowed Prin"--s Royal Duchess of Fife, Who Was Louise. The ceremony took place in 1 the ancient chapel of St. James palace, where both were baptised. There was room for fewer than 300 persons in the simply decorated chapel, but not since the coronation of King George had there been such a gather ing of royalties and notable person ages as on this occasion. Besides King George, Queen Mary, Queen Mother Alexandra, the king and queen of Norway and other royal rela tives of the couple, the congregation consisted of the diplomatic corps, the British cabinet, members of the royal household and a few distinguished civ ilians. Among the diplomats were Ambassa dor Walter H. Page and Mrs. Page. The ambassador was dressed in plain evening clothes and the only person there who wore neither a decoration nor a uniform. Among those present were Lady Decies. formerly Miss Helen Vivien Gould, and Lady Alasiir Innes Kcr, formerly Miss Anne Breese. Both m ere accompanied by their husbands and wore their famous jewels. The chapel glittered with diamonds and pearls, almost every woman present wearing a tiara and necklace of fab ulous value. The bride entered the chapel between King George and his mother. She was frowned in a dainty dress of white charmeuse embroidered with pearls and diamonds and adorned with ex quisite brussels applique lace, from Which the bridal veil also was made. Bridesmaids Much. Admired. Much admiration was expressed at the appearance of the five bridesmaids who were Princess Mary, daughter of the king and queen; Princess Maud, only sister of the bride; Princess Vic toria and Princess Helena of Teck. and Princess Mary, the little daughter of Prince and Princess Alexander of Teck. Their gowns were made of shell pink charmeuse and cream lace and they carried bouquets of carnations and lilies, the same flowers as decor ated the royal chapel. The pages were little Prince John, the king"s youngest son and Prince Olaf of Norway, a great favorite in England. Prince Arthur wore his uniform as a captain of the royal Scots Grays with Its bright scarlet tunic and high bear Bkin busby. All the men among his royal relatives wore military uniforms covered with decorations. The king was dressed as a field mar thai. Archbishop of Canterbury Officiates. The ceremony was performed by the archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop of London as dean of the chapels royal, the Canon Kdgar Shephehrd sub-dean of the chapels royal. Prince Arthur and his bride uttered the responses in firm clear voices. After the ceremony the archbishop of Canterbury delivered a short ad dress, in which he pointed out that while only a few had been able to be present at the ceremony, millions of Britons all over the world joined in rejoicing at the marriage of an Eng lish prince and princess. The first part of the honeymoon is to be .spent at the residence of Waldorf Astor at Sandwich Bay, on the southeast coast of Eng land. A futile attempt to reach King George and Queen Mary was made by a midi tant suffragette. Miss Margaret Ster ling, as their majesties were on the way to the wedding. The young woman broke through the line of police wav ing a petition, but she was seized and arrested. Shoots Himself Three Times. Joplin, Mo., Oct. 15. After a run ning fight fo two h.locks in the heart r of the city to evade arrest after he had shot City Detective Joseph Reu bart in the leg, Cass Barham went into a bakery store, calmly reloaded his revolver, then shot himself three times in the head. He died instantly. The officers had attempted to arrest Barham on a charge of robbery. Reu bart is not considered seriously hurt. IS IN A DEADLOCK. Sulzer Impeachment Court Doesn't Know What to Do Next. Albany, Oct. 15. The high court of impeachment which is trying Governor Sulzer recessed for lunch today after having been in executive session throughout the morning apparently as far as ever from a decision on whether article IV of the impeach ment shall be amended or the assem bly shall be asked to provide an addi tional article to include the testimony of Duncan W. Peck and Henry L. Morgenthau. The failure of the court to reach an agreement on this question was pro ductive of many rumors. One was that a deadlock had occurred and that a vote did not appear imminent. Another was that the court had Married Today to Prince Arthur. reached a decision to vote this after noon as to whether or not the testi mony in question should be sent to the assembly as the basis for the new article. It was reported that a majority of the judges of the court of appeals had expressed themselves in favor of such a course on the ground that to amend article IV would be unconstitu tional. Many of the senators however, strongly opposed this action, it was said and the debate finally resolved itself into the passage of a motion to decide the question this afternoon. Both houses of the legislature held one minute sessions today and ad journed over until tomorrow. There were scarcely half a dozen members of the assembly present and the pros pects were that in the event that the court should recommend the bringing of an additional article it would take several days at least to gather a quorum. A rumor that an injunction had been served on the state treasurer to prevent him from paying the judges their $37.50 per diem salaries caused a flurry in the capitol today. Inquiry developed that some voter who was not in accord with the proceedings had writen a letter to a state official demanding such action. MAKING HARD FIGHT. Opponents of Currency Bill Attack It Jn Force. New York, Oct. 15. The Glass-Owen currency bill was attacked as danger ous and unscientific at today's session of the conference. Professor E. R. A. Seligman, of Columbia university, Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City bank of New York, and Professor Joseph F. Johnson, dean of the New York university school of commerce, led the assault. Prof. Selig man said that the great successful banking systems of Europe were not framed by politicians, but by the joint efforts of bankers and theorists, and for that reason Germany, France and England were a generation ahead of this country in these matters. Mr. Vanderlip defended the principle of a central bank as opened to the 13 regional reserve associations contem plated in the Glass-Owen bill. He said the best minds in congress knew that, were it not for a party platform they should provide for a central bank. Prof. Johnson characterized the bill as dan gerous. "The Glass-Owen bill if it becomes a law, will soon bring this country into a period of dangerous credit extension," he said. Washington. Oct. 15. Endorsing the general principles of the adminis tration courrency bill, William Ingle of the Merchants and Mechanics bank of Baltimore, today condemned a number of its details before the sen ate banking committee. He defended the recent bankers' conference at Bos ton and denied any "conspiracy" to oppose the measure. THE DAY IN CONGRESS Republicans Block Effort at Three Iay Adjournment in House.

AS INCHTELLS IT Captain of the Lost Steamer Volturno Sends Message Detailing the History of the Terrible Disaster. ACCOUNT IS SENT BY WIRELESS From the Kroonland, on Which He Is Coming In. Gives Xo Information Regard ing Origin of the Fire. New York, Oct. 15. Captain Francis Inch, whose steamer, the Volturno, was burned at sea with the loss of 136 lives, told his story of the disaster last night. It is a plain seaman's tale, but In it line by line the horrors of the disaster and the terrible ordeal through which passengers and crew passed are brought out all the more clearly, perhaps, because of the marked directness and simplicity with which the story is told. From the beginning, where the out break of the fire, which spelled the doom of the Volturno is recorded, the narrative runs without apparent omis sion of any salient fact to the point where the blazing ship was abandoned. the last remaining passenger taken oft and the children and what was left of the crew boarded the waiting Kroon land. Captain Inch does not say what caus ed the fire, reporting simply that the chief officer advised him at 10 minutes before 7 o'clock in the morning of Oc tober 9 of its existence below and that five minutes later the flames had burst through the forward hatches and were rapidly spreading. Although all possible measures were at once taken to subdue the fire, the captain's story shows that it was even then too late to save the watch below. The men were trapped in the forecastle and burned to death there, their fellow sailors helpless to aid them. Then came explosions which wrecked part of the midship section of the steamer. The situation was plainly desperate. The call for help by wire less had gone out as soon as the flames shot through the forward hatches and the crew was doing its fighting best to stay the progress of the blaze until assistance could come. It looked then as if there was no possible chance to save the steamer and although the seaa were running high and the Volturno was rolling heavily, the captain had boats provisioned and swung out. Boats Were Smashed, 'Boats Nos. 13 and 15 were smashed," is the simple way Captain Inch de scribes the first result of the attempt to launch the life craft. But Chief Of ficer Miller's boat got away and al though she capsized, throwing every body out. she eventually righted her self and Miller and several of the crew got aboard her. Another boat, described as No. 6, commanded by Fourth Officer Langs- ell, also got away filled with steerage passengers. Captain Inch knew noth ing of the fate of those boats and so far as is known no one else does. Al though a widespread search has been made for them by steamers that were on the scene shortly afterward, and by others notified by wireless, no trace of them has been discovered and they are probably lost with all on board. Captain Inch describes the arrival one by one of the rescuing craft, sum moned by the wireless operators, who worked until 11 o clock at night, when the fire had progressed so far that the magazine on the bridge, containing signalling rockets and lights, blew up- carrying away the aerial apparatus anu compelling the wireless men to cease their efforts. The Volturno's master covers in a few words the progress of the fire through the night and how when the rescue steamers came up and had (Continued on Page Two.) SURVIVORS OF LOST VOLTURNO TELL OF CAPTAIN'S BRAVERY AND COWARDICE OF SHIP'S CREW; RULE OF "WOMEN FIRST" IGNORED v! "1 9 r Si- y. Fir drill on board the Volturno; Captain Inch of the Volturno. Survivors of the steamship "Volturno," which was burned in mid-ocean, tell a story of cowardice on the part of the ship's crew. "Captain Inch behaved splendidly," said one of the survivors. "So did the officers, who were English. But the crew, Germans and Belgians, behaved very badly. The peoplt rushed about wildly, and the cre-w seemed to think they ought tj have first place, and instead of quieting the passenger they made the panic worse-" POLITICAUQSSIP Geo. Clark, Secretary of Taft League, on the Situation. Hopes for Peace, hut Is Pre pared for War. NO APOLOGY FOR 1912 FIGHT Did It to Save Party From Its Enemies. James-Bristow Dehate To What Party Does Joe Belong? Officials of the Republican league the political organization which brought about the greatest upheaval in Kansas since the days of Populism and the Farmers' Alliance are hop ing and praying that there may be Republican harmony in Kansas next year. But in their prayer, officers of the league reserve that sacred consti tutional privilege to openly declare war on each and every candidate who may prove a traitor to the cause and at some future date help to deliver the Republican party into the hands of political enemies. Such is the contents of a statement made today by George A. Clark, secre tary of the Republican league. It is the first utterance of a political nature that has been made by any official of the league since the close of the 1912 campaign. Even the rather warlike declaration by Clark was made only after he had been urged to make some statement as to the future plans of the league. While Clark makes clear that the league will not hesitate to fight next year, if a fight is deemed necessary, he states that he does not anticipate trouble and really expects a good many of the wandering Republicans to return safely to the fold and believes that the factions of the party, includ ing Progressive party followers, can be reunited and that the party in Kan sas can live in peace and harmony. But there is no apology for the fight of 1912. Anyone who is looking for a retraction of the acts and language that was used in the last campaign, will consult someone other than George A. Clark for relief. Clark states frankly that he directed and managed the big battle with both eyes open and that he viewed the slaughter with a considerable degree of satisfac tion. Yet, Clark says, he anticipates no trouble next year and hopes and prays that there may be none. A Word of Warning. But in Clark's rather reluctant statement, there is that note of warn ing that will probably go unheeded. "I am not interested in politics at present and I don't care who holds the offices," says the determined Mr. Clark. And be It remembered that none of the officers of the Republican League wore holes in the carpet in Governor Hodge's private office in seeking ap pointments. So, there is some history to back up Clark's opening statement. In fact, the only thing that Clark has really asked at the hands of the Dem ocratic administration was that some- (Contlnued on Pago Two.) P. E. 0. MEETING.

Deep Significance Attached to Hloye of Spanish Minister. CALL DIPLOMATIC CONFERENCE Wilson Talks Oyer Situation With Bryan and Senators. Foreign Relations Committee Meets Behind Closed Doors. Washington, Oct. 15. The Mexican situation today was regarded by offi cials here as drifting toward a crisis, the United States meanwhile awaiting Huerta's next move. The commanding feature was the action of the Spanish minister in Mexico City calling a meeting of the diplomatic corps to dis cuss Huerta's assumption of a prac tical dictatorship. Administration of ficials and diplomats attached deep significance to that. This development attracted great attention because of the Spanish minister's friendship for Henry Lane Wilson, the former am bassador of the United States to Mex ico, and because the Spanish minister never has supported the policy of the United States. President Wilson discussed the sit uation with Secretary Bryan and sev eral senators and later the foreign re lations committee of the senate had a meeting behind closed doors. Chairman Bacon of the committee, after a talk with the president, ex pressed the view that even had the United States recognized Huerta the assumption of the role of dictator would in his opinion have been suffi cient cause for a withdrawal of recog nition. There are no precedents for withdrawing recognition once extended but diplomats pointed out that such an effect might be substantially ac complished by withdrawing an ambas sador. Plans for keeping an American naval force in Mexican waters commanded almost equal attention, especially in view of the strained situation follow ing so closely Huerta's announcement that his government's permission for the presence of American men of war would not be renewed this month, and the announcement of this government's intention to accomplish its end without conflicting with the laws of Mexico by changing the details of ships. It was made plain that the Wash ington government was determined to have a naval representation ready for any eventuality and some observers thought the next step toward a culmi nation of the situation might be forced over that point. Publication of Pres ident Wilson's latest note to Huerta attracted wide attention for its brev ity and forcefulness. The Mexican government's reply was awaited with keenest interest. Meanwhile all the agencies of government concerned in the situation were in constant and close communication. O'Shaughnessy Called In. Mexico City, Oct. 15. Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American charge d'affaires, was requested by telephone to call at the Mexican foreign office late last night, immediately after the conclusion of the cabinet meeting which had discussed the two recent communications from the United States government. These communi cations, it is reported, contained a warning against the Mexican govern ment's permitting harm to come to the Mexican deputies imprisoned by Gen eral Huerta, and referred also to the unconstitutional situation brought about by the forcible dissolution of the chamber of deputies. The American charge went to the foreign office and remained there some time, but afterwards declined to say anything on what had occurred. Negotiations Are Ended. Washington, Oct. 15. The United .-Pxi lis vf.,-r States government has informed Pro visional President Victoriano Huerto that it looked with abhorrence and amazement upon his assumption of both executive and legislative powers In Mexico and that in view of his course it could not regard as constitu tional the elections planned for Oct. 26. Two notes, one strongly phrased and written by Secretary Bryan, Inquiring about the safety of the imprisoned members of the Mexican congress and the other drawn in forceful language by President Wilson himself, are said to constitute practically the last ef forts of the Washington government to deal with the Huerta authorities by diplomatic means unless there is a de cided change of spirit on the part of officials in Mexico City. The negotiations through John Lind had proceeded to the point where the state department accepted the indorse ment of Frederico Gamboa for the presidency as meaning the elimina tion of Huerta, and where it was con fidently hoped that fair and free elec tion would be held on October 26. Now, however, President Wilson has made it clear that the Washington government, with the events of the last few days the imprisonment of the deputies and the establishement of a dictatorship by Huerta lost all hope of seeing a constitutional elec tion held by the Huerta regime. The steps taken by the United States were formally communicated to all foreign governments. No further negotiations are planned through diplomatic channels and it would not be surprising if John Lind, who has been waiting at Vera Cruz to observe the manner in which the Huerta of ficials carried out their promises should return to the United States at once. Germany Is Watching. Berlin, Oct. 15. The German for eign office is following new develop ment in Mexico very closely, at the same time adhering to its attitude of allowing the United States govern ment an absolutely free hand in set tling its policy without extraneous ad vice. The suggestion put forward by some Mexican newspapers that Am bassador Gerard is faced with diffi cult negotiations in regard to Mexico is unfounded. Ixxks lake Partiality. Eagle Pass, Oct. 15. A report per sisted here today that the war depart ment order permitting the federal general, Joaquin Maass at Piedras Negras, to pass through American territory came directly from a re quest of Secretary of State Bryan to the war department. The permission excited wide spread comment throughout the Texas border country, because of the constitutionalists who formerly occupied Piedras Negras re ported they were unable to get such permission. General Maass left Eagle Pass to day enroute to Laredo. To avoid demonstrations on the American side. General Maass ordered a special train to meet his party at the International bridge. President Wilson's Note. Washington, Oct. 15. The note deliv ered by Charge O'Shaughnessy to the authorities at Mexico City defining the attitude of the United States toward Huerta's assumption of dictatorship was as follows: "The president is shocked at the law lessness of the methods employed by General Huerta, and as a sincere friend of Mexico is deeply distressed at the situation which has arisen. He finds it impossible to regard otherwise than as an act of bad faith toward the United States Huerta's course in dis solving the congress and arresting the deputies. "It is not only a violation of constitu tional guarantees but destroys all pos sibility of a free and fair election. The president believes that an election held at this time under the conditions as now existing would have none of the sanction with which law surrounds the ballot and that the result therefore could not be regarded as representing the will of the people. "The president would not feel Justi fied in accepting the results of such an election or in recognizing the presi dent so chosen." General Maas Is Arrested. San Antonio, Oct. 15. Mexican Fed eral "General Joaquin Maas, enroute across American territory from Pie dras Negras to Nuevo Laredo, was ar rested by United States authorities here today. He was in a special train. Fighting at Guaymas. Nogales, Oct. 15. After two days of desultory fighting, constitutionalist troops investing Guaymas have driven the federals from Empalme and San Jose De Guaymas, suburbs. The battle continued today, the insurgents as saulting the defenses of Guaymas proper from three sides. The insurgent Junta was advised to day that the rebel army of Sinaloa had taken Rosario and surrounded Mazat lan, cutting off that city's water sup ply. BAD WEATHER COMING Wind, Chill, Damp and Disagreeable Are Brands Predicted. Although the weather this morn ing was pleasant, chilly and disagree able conditions prevail this afternoon. The temperature today has been about normal for this date. "Sunny" Flora, the local observer, looks for weather Thursday that he terms as being of a "chilly, gloomy and damp" variety. He stated that while there is a possibility of a light shower rain is not likely to fall in the next 24 hours. The wind was blowing at the rate of ten miles an hour from the east at 2 o'clock thii afternoon and east is a threatening direction. Not much change in tem perature is expected. The mercury was below the freezing mark this morning in the Dakotas and in Wyom ing and Montana.

May Build Their Own Tracks to Pacific Soon. REACH TUCSOfUT THIS TIME Extension of 1 Paso South western Completed. Rock Island Only 500 Miles From Los Angeles Jfow. The announcement today from the general offices of the Rock Island Lines in Topeka to the effect that this road had completed in connection with the El Paso Southwestern a line from El Paso, Tex., to Tucson, N. M., causes a stir, in railway circles. The event of the Rock Island using its own tracks from Chicago to the Paciflo coast is a matter of only a short time, railway students predict, and it is probable that further action will be taken before the Panama exposition in San Francisco. With the El Paso Southwestern extension to Tucson, and the aban donment of business over the South ern Pacific tracks from El Paso to Tucson that is, a part of the busi ness the plan of the Rock Island is made clear. It is the ambition of this transcontinental road to build to the Pacific coast, and the recent 340-mile step from El Paso to Tucson is a move that needs little explanation. The handling of through traffic in both directions between St. Louis, Chi cago, Memphis, Topeka and Kansas City and points in Arizona and Cali fornia by the way of the El Paso Southwestern is handled with the Rock Island on the east and the Southern Pacific on the west. Rock Island's Opening. Here is the situation under which the Rock Island is operating: The road under the name of the Chi cago. Rock Island Pacific operates on its own tracks more than 7,500 miles of railway from Chicago on the east to St. Louis, St. Paul, Watertown, Den ver, Pueblo, Galveston, Memphis, Santa Rosa and intermediate points. The road operates a network of track in Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma, with considerable mileage in Illinois, Mis souri, Minnesota, Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Arkansas, South Dakota and Louisiana. It receives good eastern connections and business at Chicago and St. Louis. It grasps heavy tonnage from the pros perous northern country and it reaches Colorado to the west as well as the Gulf of Mexico to the south and the Memphis business in the central south. To the Pacific coast the Rock Island always has depended on traffic agree ments with the Southern Pacific. At Santa Rosa, N. M., the road turns traf fic over to the El Paso Southwestern which road in turn delivers to the Southern Pacific .at El Paso. The El 1 Paso Southwestern and the Rock Island are owned to a certain extent by the same interests. The Rock Is land business, therefore, at Santa Rosa to El Paso is real Rock Island revenue. Now comes the Phelps-Dodge exten sion to Tucson, 340 miles west of El Paso and that distance nearer the Pa cific coast. The answer is that the Rock Island through the El Paso Southwestern Is gradually approaching the western goal. Only 500 miles more and Los An geles will be reached. Then the South ern Pacific agreements will constitute a probable exchange of traffic only. The through passenger service has been transferred to the El Paso Southwestern from El Paso to Tucson. The Southern Pacific has granted op tional routing either via E. P. S. W. or their own line from Tucson to El Paso. The transcontinental business i reaching a true competitive basis in the west. UPSETS CONSTITUTION Morefield Story Attacks "Grandfather Clauses" of Southern States. Washington, Oct. 15. "Grandfath er clauses" in southern states consti tutions denying the ballot to those who were ineligible to vote before 1866, or are the descendants of such ineligi ble persons, made the federal consti tutional amendments worthless paper, according to a brief filed today with the supreme court by Morefield Story of Boston.

Continued from Page OnO failed, because of the heavy weather, to get boats to the burning liner, some passengers Jumped overboard and were picked up by the attending craft. By midnight the fire had worked its way aft but this direful news was kept from the passengers, the captain says, and there was no panic. Fearful that the fire might burst through the after decks before day break and transform the entire steam er Into a mass of flames, the captain and crew worked hard through the email hours making rafts for use in an emergency requiring the quick aban donment of the steamer. But the night passed without the happening Captain Inch feared and wind and sea having moderated, the transfer of the passengers to the steamers hovering about the blazing Volturno was begun at early dawn and accomplished in less than three hours without mishap. By that time the fire was eating up through the after hatches, however. and captain and crew left the doomed steamer to her fate. Captain Inch sent his story of the disaster by wireless from the Kroon land, on which he is being brought to this port, to the officers of the Uran ium line here. Captain Inch's narra tive reads: The Captain's Story. "At 6:50 a. m., Oct. 9, 1913, latitude 49.12, north, longitude 34.51, the fire was reported in hold No. 1, by chief officer. At 6:55 a. m. flames were burn ing through No. 1 hatches, setting fire to the forecastle and all fittings. I slowed the ship down and- kept her before the wind, to enable us to put the steam extinguishers in operation, also the Are hose from deck eonnec tions. "A series of explosions now occurred, wrecking the salon and hospital amid ships, the compass and steering gear being also damaged by the explosions. I gave orders to get help by wireless as soon as the flames burnt the hatches. "It seemingly being impossible to save the ship, I had boats provisioned and swung out. The ship was rolling heavily. Boats Nos. 13 and 5 were ing forty-five survivors of the Vol- The passengers left in a very orderly way and there was no panic, women breaking down and crying when help was alongside and all were off the ship by 8 a. m., about 400 passengers. I searched the ship myself ana found no one else on board, so de cided to abandon her as the number 3 hatch was well alight by now, so with the remainder of the crew em barked on the Kroonland. "Nothing at all has been heard of the two missing boats. Passing ves sels were asked to keep a lookout for them. Expresses His Thanks. "I wish to express my heartiest thanks and gratitude to the captains of ships who stood by; also to the officers and crews who came to our assistance, for their bravery and en durance In their endeavor to come alongside the ship; also to the pas sengers of the Kroonland for their kindness to the rescued passengers. engineers and crew and myself in fitting us out and doing everything for us. Following are the names of the steamers that came to our assistance: "Carmania, Grosser Kurfuerst, La Touraine, Asian, Narragansett, Seyd litz, Minneapolis, Devonian, Czar, Rappahannock, also one other steamer without wireless. "The ship was abandoned in latitude 48.30 north, longitude 34.57 west." Captain Inch's story came by wire less from the Kroonland, which is bringing him and other survivors to this port. The Kroonland may not reah here until Thursday or later, as she had had a mishap to a shaft, she reported and is proceeding slowly. The captain's message was sent to the press through the Uranium Steamship company's office here, having been prepared and sent for at their request. The Red Star Steamship company cooperated in seeing that the captain's story was promptly transmitted. It is "possible that the total number of dead in the disaster may shrink slightly when all lists are balanced. Passenger Agent Furman, of the Ur anium line here, said that his figures showed that 657 persons sailed on the Volturno, including twenty-four cabin and 54 0 steerage passengers and ninety-three crew. His lists showed that 526 persons had been accounted for, leaving 131 on the missing list. It was announced that the North German Lloyd steamer Seydlitz, bear smashed, but No. 2 was lowered In the water with cabin passengers and stewardess in charge of Chief Officer P. P. Miller. After this boat left the ship she capsized, throwing her occu pants into the water. She afterward righted herself and several of the crew got back Into the boat, the chief officer being one of them. "The No. 6 boat was lowered and got away safely filled with steerage passengers. In charge of Fourth Officer Langsell. The No. 7 boat, on being lowered, was caught under the stern of the ship, the boat being completely wrecked. "Meanwhile, the chief engineer, two seamen and myself fought the fire and apparently subdued the flames.

The passengers now became calmer. Food was served out to them. Bunker Ablaze. "At 9 a. m. the bunker was found to be ablaze. It being impossible to stop the fire in the bunker on account of gases, the watertight doors were closed and water poured down the No. 2 hatch onto the fire, but the fire was gaining all the time. "At 11 a. m. the Carmania arrived and lowered a boat, but could not reach the ship on account of high seas. Asked Carmania to look for the No. 2 boat. "The steamship Seydlitz arrived and lowered boats which could not reach us. About 3 p. m. the Carmania re turned and tried to reach the ship with life rafts but all drifted past our bow, too far away. "Several steamers had arrived by dusk. The Kroonland put away boats which made four attempts to come alongside but were swept away each time. "At 9:30 p. m. the salon and chart house were flaming. The deck, bridge and all before the funnel were blazing fiercely. Pumps and dynamo stopped for want of steam.

"Several boats by this time were laying off the ship and induced pas sengers to jump and they were res cued by boats. At 12 midnight, the weather was overcast and squally. Operations were suspended, it being too dark for boats to see. The fire meanwhile worked through the wom en's steerage to the after end of the ship, but we kept knowledge of this from the passengers who were quiet throughout the rest of the night. "The chief engineer, the Marconi men and seamen and myself spent the night making small rafts in case the fire burned through the deck be fore daylight. "At 6:15 a. m., the first boat ar rived.

Between 80 and 90 passengers on the Volturno were trapped in compartment No. 1 by the first explosion on the vessel Thursday morning and either perished at once or were burned alive. This news was brought to port today with tht docking of the steamship Grosser Kurfuerst bearing 105 survivors of the disaster. It came from the lips of Waldron Bissellman, third officer of the Vol turno. one of the rescued. The Gros ser Kurfuerst docked In Hoboken shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon. Committees of the Red Cross and Jew ish organizations and friends and rela tives of the dead and awaited her coming. Ten automobiles and an am bulance were on hand to bring the unfortunates to places of temporary refuge in Manhattan. Instances of Bravery. New York. Oct. 1 5. More instances of bravery shown by the crew of the Volturno during the mid-ocean battle with fire and storm are related in a wireless message from J. Haslup Adams of Baltimore, who is a pas senger on the Steamer Grosser-Kur-fuerst which will arrive here todav. His message direct to the New York Times was as follows: "Second Officer Lloyd of the Vol turno made a great record for bravery on the burning ship. He fell ten feet while repairing the wireless apparatus on Thursday morning. Then he fought the fire in the hospital preventing an explosion and spread of fire to the whole ship. Later he made his way In a small boat to the Kurfuerst and bravely got through, though the boat was smashed in launching and was full of water when caught by the Kur fuerst's line. "Third Engineer Pinch after Thurs day night's' explosion, went to the en gine room took a bath, divided his money with a fellow engineer and then jumped overboard. He was picked up by the Kurfuerst's boat. "John Burns, a fireman jumped Into the water from the Volturno but he could not get away from the ship's side. He caught a line and was pulled back to the deck by the chief engineer. He jumped again and reached the Kurfuerst's boat. Burns saw a first cabin passenger, a big man, an Ameri can name not known throw his wife and sister overboard early Thursday morning and then jump himself. All were lost. This was the third ship wreck for Burns in three yearn. "Officers Liebermann and Van Son nenderg of the Kurfuerst were out six hours on Thursday night in a small boat battling with the waves and were nearly run down by a liner. They were picked up finally through the aid of the Carmania's searchlight. The crew was exhausted." a AT THE PICTURE HOUSES The Crystal. As noted in the display columns of this issue, this house announces the reappearance in pictures of the popu lar favorite. Miss Florence Lawrence, showing today and tomorrow in the special two-reel feature, "The Closed Door." In reviewing this production Mr. George Blaisdell, the New York critic, says: "Florence Lawrence has come back. Not only has she come back, but stronger and better than when she deserted the screen. Her year's rest from work shows in the opening scenes. There are the old time enthusiasm, the snap and the go which we now see have in the past placed Miss Lawrence in a class by herself. There's no one just like her. If you personally like your woman sedate, dignified, you will fall in love with her hear-tombbyish ways just the same. Captain Leslie T. Peacocke Is the author of "The Closed Door." He has written it with a knowledge of the capacity of Miss Lawrence for depict ing varied emotions. It Is a story that thrills at times and goes straight to the heart. Throughout the two reels the picture holds. The first one in terests and entertains, and at times amuses, but the second grips." Two comedies are also on the bill. The "End of the Run" Is a railroad story wherein the fact that a fireman's Interest In his engineer's career Is founded on the deep affection between the fireman and the engine driver's daughter, and averts many an acci dent because of the young man's keen attention to his running mate's duties. The fireman turns down a promotion or two rather than desert the old man, whose eyesight is dimming and senses are not as alert as they should bw. Naturally the fireman wins the promo tion finally and the girl too. The "Missionary and the Actress" brings out two distinct sides of life and the disappointment of the minister and the girl of the footlights when the real difference between their lives be comes known to each Is dramatic In the extreme. Their engagement is made and broken when the mission ary discovers the girl's avocation and sails to the South Sea to devote his life to the needs of a leper colony. His sacrifice leads the girl to a broad er, better life. "The Sleeping Beauty," at Rest. Motion pictures are an ideal me dium for the portrayal of fairy tales, and the "Warner. Feature Film com pany has made the most of its re sources in producing Grimm's "The Sleeping Beauty," which is being shown at the Best theater today and tomorrow. This popular childhood one lead Fish 4nd Game Warden Dyche away out in the country and lose him. And that request has so far, at least, been denied. "I am an intense Republican," de clared Clark in the Interview which he gave with much reluctance, "and the only reason we made the fight last campaign was to preserve the Repub lican party and to prevent Its destruc- i tion by those who had been elected to office by it and who were betraying the party while holding office by grace of its favor. KeDublican Partv Proeresslve. '"The Republican party has always been a progressive party," declared Clark, "and I hope it always will be. The league closed shop last Novem ber and I hope it will never be neces sary to reopen our offices. But, if it i becomes necessary in order to preserve the party, I might say in passing that the lists of the 75,000 members and every letter received during the cam paign, have been preserved and are in my vault and headquarters can be I opened in a few minutes.

At least this is the information I get from all sections of the state. The elections and primaries in eastern states seem to reflect the same con ditions." j That is all. So far as anything Mr. Clark had Say, Pa, -f I guess after j all, the Badder's Cloth- I ing Co. has the best f values in town!

Clark is not inclined to provide foot-notes in his Interviews and this particular Interview Is no exception. But it Is very clear that Mr. Clark really wants the party to get together and hopes that next year a pure white dove of peace may build a nest in the desk where the Republican League stenographer kept copies of the cor respondence of the 1912 campaign It was a red hot debate on the tariff bill In the United States senate, ac cording to the official report in the Con- pressional Record, and the tilt between Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas and Senator Ollie M. James of Ken tucky, was in no manner the most tire some part of the discussion. For 't was in the course of the debate on the tariff bill that the Kentucky senatoi challenged the senator from Kansas to tell the political party with which he is affiliated. And the senator from Kan sas replying to the senator from Ken tucky said it was none of his business, or words to that effect. The war between Senators Bristow and James Btarted over the tariff sche dules as affecting sugar and tobacco, This Is a portion of the debate as re corded in the Congressional Record ot October 8 Mr. Bristow: "Why Is the farmer who cultivates the soil for the growth of tobacco, a luxury, entitled to more con sideration than the farmer who cultl' vates beets to jproduce a necessity ot urev" Mr. James: "You talk about sugar beets. You are- advocating a protec tlon of $1.90 upon refined sugar, and yet you have been advocating and al lowing sugar beets of the Canadian farmer to come in here at 10 per cent. yet you give your sugar refiner, when he buys them to refine them, eight times as much protection as you give the American farmer who grows the beets.' Mr. Bristow: "The senator from Ken tucky is Just as accurate in that state ment as any he has made here tonight. He cannot point to a single utterance that the senator from Kansas has ever made on this floor in favor of a duty of $1.90 per hundred pounds on sugar." Mr. James: I ask the senator, is he a Republican? The Republican party stood for it. Tell me to what party the senator claims allegiance?" Mr. Bristow: "The senator from Kentucky said that the senator from it was last year. Three youngsters in knickers are the leaders of the tru ancy movement.

As the handsome young prince ends the deep sleep by kissing the princess, the happy ending makes the story unusually pleasant. Vltagraph Twins at Aurora, The famous Vitagraph twins Edna and Alice Nash together with "Cutie," are on the bill at the Aurora today and tomorrow in a good Vita graph comedy, entitled "Which?" By each being taken for the other, the tow girls are the cause of many laughable situations. "The Great Dis covery" is a Lubln drama that is very interesting, and which is presented by a strong cast. The Aurora is also showing an Edison drama, "A Willful Colleen's Way," and one other good film. A big card at the Aurora next week will be Mrs. Kiske in "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." WERE 180 COUNTS. Charley Allen Sold 180 Mugs From Keg of Beer. Deciding that one keg constituted one count, the jury returned a verdict this morning !n the case of the state vs. Charles Allen, and convicted him on only one of the fifty counts against him. Allen and Clarence Hardy were charged with selling liquor in a grove south of town on Labor Day. Hardy pleaded guil ty on one count. Allen, a "persistent Joint ist," according to the county attorney, admitted peddling beer at five cents per mug. He believed he collected $9. "There's 180 counts against you," Inter posed W. E. Atchison. The minimum fine is $100 on each count. Allen looked grave. He offered no defense, although twenty witnesses had been subpoenaed to appear for the state. The Jury left the court room Tuesday afternoon and returned their verdict at 10:30 this morning. Sentence was defer red. Herman Breitlnstein. charged with 25 counts on a liquor charge, pleaded guilty to four counts this morning. Several liquor cases are set for hearing this af ternoon before Judge George Whitcomb. I jh mar's Bond Forfeited. New York, Oct. 15. David Lamar, the Wall street manipulator under indictment for impersonating congressmen and oth ers, failed to appear before Judge Hunt 'n the federal district court today for pleading-, and his bond of $3,000 was declare.! forfeited to the senator from Kentucky that the senator from Kansas does not and never has said that he favored a duty of $1.90 per hundred pounds on sugar." Mr. James: "Well, Mr. President, I, in that statement, was merely align ing the senator with the Republican party. The senator has not told me to what party he claims allegiance. Mr. President, the senator from Kan sas is like an old fellow that lived In a small country town down my way during the Civil war, who heard that there was a band of guerrillas coming Into town. From his first information he thought it was a small one, and or ganized the boys of the town to wage war upon them. And as they started out to meet them with the courageous captain riding In front, a boy came running up the road greatly excited, and said to the captain, 'My, don't go down there. There are thousands of them, and they will kill you all.' The old fellow said, 'Oh, my boy, we are going to meet them; we will look them over, and if there are fewer of them than there are of us we will lick them. If there are more of them than there are of us, we'll jine 'em.' Laughter and applause on the floor and in the galleries.! Mr. Bristow: "That is as 'ntelligent an answer" Mr. James: "That may be the sen ator's position. He will be a Bull Moose if he sees he can lick them, and he will be a Republican if he sees they can lick him." Mr. Bristow: "That Is as intelligent an argument upon the merits of the tariff bill as the senator has made to night." Mr. James: "I knew the senator would get mad, Mr. President. That Is quite a tender spot with him. I have known for some time that he was ashamed to tell to what party he claims allegiance in this great struggle here." After some further sparring along the same line Mr. James declined to yield further unless Mr. Bristow tell to what political party he belongs, to which the senator from Kansas re torted: Mr. Bristow: "Mr. President. I de sire to say to the senator from Ken tucky that as to what party I belong is my own concern, so far as the mer its of this question are concerned." Women Voted ".Wet." Redondo Beach, Cal., Oct. 15. Women assisted in keeping Redondo Beach "wet." They polled one-half of the votes in the initiative election regard ing the abolition of saloons. The "dry" element was defeated by a vote of 829 to 34. cated by the juvenile court, and report to Judge Hugh MacFarland every Sat urday.

Two ten y'ear-olds recently ran away and stole grain from the U. P. tracks. When the guard approached them, they dropped their sacks, and whistled:- "Cheese it, watchman! Some kids is behind that big car up there stealin' grain." The guileless watchman hastened to the big car, and the youngsters escap ed with their sacks. But the long arm of the juvenile court brought them to task. There are no little girls on the truant list. "We don't have such trou ble with little girls," said Officer Rooney, "when we do get one, she's apt to be pretty unmanageable liko the little girl In the song; when she's bad, she's very, very bad, indeed."

Says He Is With Next World's Heavyweight Champion. Fight fans in Topeka, Kansas City and vicinity are interested in the ef forts of -Topeka" Jack Johnson who Is trying to make a, fighter of Carl Morris, the original white hope and many believe that he is on the way to success. The Topeka man has been working with Carl Morris for a year or more. Up to this time the Oklahoma giant was a novice at the game. He had ev erything but fighting judgment. He even had the punch but didn't know how to use it. Johnson "took on" the giant and the latter has been performing with much more class than ever before, and one night last week was disqualified in his ficht with "Gunboat" Smith on the claim that he had struck the "Gunboat" low. A communication from Jack Johnson to the sporting editor of the State Journal, denies that Morris struck a foul blow and intimates that the eferee. Billy Joh, stopped the fight to prevent Gunboat Smith from being eliminated from the leading ranks of the heavyweight class. Jack Johnson has never changed his h,.t Pari Morris. It will be recalled that he stated when he first joined the Oklahoman that the latter would be champion in his class even after every other fan had pronounced him a huge lemon. Johnson has not changed his mind one whit and con tends that he is with the next world's n-f itrht r-Visimnlnn Tho following 1 a part or trie story as puuusueu UJ v.nr "V-irli- rimprs! thf rnr pvpsiffht has been im paired by constant weeping over the world's series box scores, for we were unable to discern an alleged foul blow delivered by Carl Morris upon the fast declining Gunboat Smith in the fifth round of a rough-and-tumble contest Examinations made immediately after the bad wallop was struck by Dr. Thomrson. the Garden A.

The truth of tlie matter Is that for nnpp RiTirp hi sudden rie to fnm thf 1 Gunner was receiving a licking and he wasn't there under fire. It is true that the Oklahoma giant had about fifty pounds' advantage over the Califor rian, but he had his number. There Is no getting away from that fact.

Wallace some little form upon his return here from the west three weeks ago. There is no doubt that Morris would have eventually won the fight had It gone the limit. He was getting better all the time. Smith was tiring from his own efforts. Morris was pitted against him to show his true mettle if he really possesses such a thing. Morris forced the fight at the start, falling heavily on Smith in the clinches. Smith was a bit wild, miss ing a couple of good rights. He came to in time to plant several of his hard wallops on Morris' face. He staggered Morris with one of them. Carl rested on Smith and would not allow the Cal ifornian to get more than -a. few inches away from him. Smith was entitled to the first and second rounds. Thereafter Morris was master of the situation. Smith rained in hard body blows, but Morris usually came back and whipped in right hand uppercuts and jolts to Smith's face. He nearly closed Smith's right optic. Smith ap peared to tire in the third session. swinging wildly and allowing Morris to counter with rights and lefts. Morris rushed matters and landed several one-two punches that forced Smith to back up. The Gunner looked worried when he answered the bell in the fourth stanza. Morris ripped in rights and lefts as fast as he could unloosen them. Smith realized right then and there that he must knock his man out to win. He tried to bring this about but Morris refused to fall. Morris was hitting his man on the kidneys and chopping right hand blows on the back of his neck. The crowd hooted. Mor ris paid no attention. He was in the ring to fight. At the close of the session Smith complained that he had been hit low. It appears that Morris landed one or two inoffensive punches. They could not have possibly hurt Smith. Smith came out of his corner fresh in the fifth. The men were only fight ing one minute when the referee inter vened. Morris was doing heavy work. Suddenly Smith doubled up and looked at Buckley. There was nothing stary about his eyes. He looked fine. But he had enough and was satisfied to make up an excuse instead of taking a "dive."

Chicago, Oct. 15.

Bodie's contract included a stip ulation that he must refrain from drinking during the season or forfeit $600 of his annual salary and his con suming the beer was a technical viola tion of the terms. Pleased with the player's all around work and convinced that he had been guilty of no other in fractions, Manager Callahan remitted the fine. Bodie was so gratified that he pledged himself last night never to drink again during the playing season. TOE FEDERAL LEAGUE. Here to Stay and Will Open War on Majors Has the Money. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 15. The war which it was rumored organized baseball would make upon the Federal league next season will be carried to the big leaguers by the independent circuit and will be fought to a finish, according to J. Edward Krause, presi dent of the local Federal League club and one of the powers in the circuit. In a statement last night Mr. Krause tells of plans of the new organization to try to lure players from major leagues. "It will be war to the hilt with organized baseball from this time on," Mr. Krause declared. "There will be no halfway measures, for the Federal league has come to stay. We have the name of outlaws and we might as well get the game. We have the money and money will tempt players we want."

"Beat Ne braska" is the slogan of the football coaches at the University of Kansas Every effort is being made to instill I into the players the idea that it is up to Kansas to humble the two-time winners of the Missouri, valley cham pionship. Kansas will meet Nebraska between now and then is to be a step ping stone to that contest. The squad was out on McCook field last night for an hour's practice. Coaches Mosse and Frank spent most of the time in perfecting the famous Minnesota shift, the peculiar formation with which Kansas hopes to wreck the ambitions of her rivals in the Missouri valley. Drake Prepares for Kansas. Des Moines, la., Oct. 15. With the preliminary season ended, the Drake university football team this week is working hard for the Kamas game, the initial battle of its Missouri valley sea son. Coach Griffith and his associates only know how the team will lineup in the first conference battle. Last week the Drake mentors sprang a surprise by moving Fullback Krull and Halfback Buntz into the line to strengthen the forwards and making up the backfield of Blackburne, Bernard, Krull and Mc Henry. with Marquis at quarterback. The latter made his first appearance in two years in athletics, having been under the faculty ban since he was a member of the Drake cross-country team at Lawrence in 1911. The Drake team is not as far advanc ed as last year, when it defeated Kan sas in the annual meeting, but is with out the weak points at the wings, which marred the work of the team a year ago. Blue Funk at Columbia. Columbia, Mo., Oct. '15 The cry for football material to replenish the losses suffered with the defeat by Illinois last Saturday went up high and loud at the University of Missouri yesterday. Tonight a mass meeting will be held and every heavy man in the school not I new on the football squad .will be made I to account for the fact. The first stages of a general shakeup in the 'varsity team were felt here when the coaches worked Captain Wil- j son, center, at place kicking. This is taken to indicate that he will be trans- ferred to the back field. Such a change will throw James Gallagher, the 206- j pound guard, to center and will put fjiuuiiiM iiimu ai guara. James day, 1 the 'varsity's other guard, also deserteu the team yesterday to prepare for a I Knoaes scholarship examination. Shep ard, who has been out of the city returned to the gridiron yesterday.

Sulwr Impeachment Court Is Work ing in Absolute Secrecy. Albany, jn. x.. uct. 10. guessing on when a verdict will be reached on the guilt or innocence of Governor Sulzer is about as uncertain a thing as can be done now. Today the high court of impeachment resumed delib erations in executive session on the question of whether to admit the tes timony of Duncan W. Peck and Henry L. Morgenthau as proof of article IV of the impeachment charges or to ask the assembly for another article cov ering the offenses alleged in the tes timony. The executive sessions of the court of impeachment are pretty successful from a standpoint of secrecy. All persons except the judges are re moved from the halls and corridors as well as the court rooms. Some of the remarks of members of the court leaked out through a rear door cf the court room and when this became known sound proof paper was tacked across the door and four policemen placed on guard. It is doubtful if much could be told about the possibility of reaching a verdict even if the sessions were open. Some of the judges said they were as puzzled over the technical problem with which the court now is wrestling as are the laymen. All sorts of arguments were current around he capitol as to whether the necessary 76 votes in the assembly could be ob tained so near election time to adopt the proposed new article of impeach ment. It was said that ambitious candidates would not care to go on record now. Opinicns differed as to whether in case of the passage of a new article of impeachment it would be necessary to give the governor 20 days in which to answer it.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news it emization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is received in The State Jojr tiai buudlng ove.r wires for this sole pur pose. With the reconvening of the supreme court, the real seat of government in this country is busy again. Perhaps Colonel Roosevelt left for South America when he did' to avoid being called upon to report the world's aeries games. "Get a Gown to Fit Tour Mind," says a headline on the women's page. It looks as though some of them have been doing it. A New Tork woman is said to have betrayed her husband to the police for 250, though probably she would have preferred J24S.9S. Again attention is called to the fact that it is easier for engineers to dig an isthmian canal than for diplomats to agree on the tolls. There doesn't seem much left for New Tork to brag about but impeach ment proceedings, big murder cases and escaped lunatics. Speaker Clark says the Income tax will be a blessing to the country. Nev ertheless, those who will have to pay it are yet tp be convinced. In contemplating the continuous ac tivity of congress, somebody is sure to begin singing that song about there being no rest for the wicked. There is a chance for the simplified spelling enthusiast to become popular with the common people if they will insist that pumpkin be spelled "pur kin." Just because the tariff bill has been passed, perhaps father thinks he will get off easy this Christmas. But when the time comes he will have to change his mind. Let the people rule. Leaders in the Kansas Progressive party held a meet ing recently and decided who of their number would be candidates for vari ous state offices. Sir Thomas Lipton certainly is a brave man to challenge again, right in the face of what has happened in America this summer to a number of English champions. With the baseball championship de cided, there is really nothing of impor tance for the American people to look forward to until the .world's series of next year is in order. And the big fight that has been waged against tuberculosis is of the winning variety. All of which is more evidence that where there's a will in telligently oirected, there's a way. The will of the late Adolphus Busch distributes an estate of the estimated value of $75,000,000, much of which Was accumulated at the expense and to the disadvantage of many women and children. t Individuality in dress for women is rreached by a fashion expert who lec tured in Topeka recently. And indi viduality in dress is far from the ef forts of most women to keep abreast X the decrees of fashion. Representative Fnderwood's Fnited Ftates senatorial ambitions have been boosted most materially. Congressman-Captain Richmond Pearson Hob son has made a vigorous and vitriolic attack on the distinguished Alabaman. Presumably a few of the modern wo men in Kansas are turning up their noses at tne topeita woman wno asKeci to be excused from jury duty because her household duties demanded all of her time and attention. But the chances are equally good that the men feel entirely different about it. Baseball's honesty is again demon strated by the fact that the Athletics went ahead and won the champion ship as quickly as possible. One or two more games in the series would have been of large financial advantage to the owners of the contending clubs, but no effort was made by them to slip over something of this sort on the public. Congressman Murdock Insists that there can be no hesitation and no re treat on the part of the Progressive party and its followers. There can be nothing like a compromise with the Republicans, he declares. This being the case, it is no more than reasonable to assume that Mr. Murdock will run for congress next time on the Progres sive party ticket. Or will he again attempt the indefensible political stunt of posing as a Republican for the votes that are in it? LAND FOR IMMIGRANTS. Agriculture will be taught in the public night schools of Chicago this year. An effort will be made to give the pupils, many of whom are well beyond the ordinary school age, a fair knowledge of the principles of farming. This is done because of the de mand from foreign-born pupils for such instruction. They want to learn how to use land while they are work ing in the city to get money enough to buy little places in the country, or make first payments on farms. They ask that the public authorities give them such help in getting out on the soil where they can produce food instead of only consuming it. Here is a Held worthy of cultiva tion. Many thousands of immigrants who have strength and stamina enough to win success anywhere on farms are crowded into city tene ments only because they do not know how to get a start in the country. If they can be instructed along agri cultural lines while they are saving a little money they can be trusted to take care of everything else they need. In many cases a change for such foreign-born residents of big cities would be the best of good fortune. It would give them more wholesome surroundings and a better chance for health and long life as well as in dependence, and their children would also gain by the new environment and surer opportunities for comfort and thrift. THE RURAL CHTRCHES. Many of the rural churches in Kan sas are in a state of decadence, writes W. A. S. in the Kansas Industrialist. In one community of 600 people there are five struggling churches. The five pastors are paid a total of $3,600 a year. The churches are in the small town near the center of the commun ity, but the churches are fighting among themselves. All of these churches are losing ground. One cen tral federated church could, at an ex pense of $2,400, do a great work there. One church with a seating ca pacity of 600 would be much better. The pastor could be paid $1,800 a year and a much better man em ployed. Of these 600 people, only SI per cent are Interested in the church. The upkeep of the present churches is $1,200 a year and by having only one church could be easily cut in half. Other communities in the same condition have installed a federated church. A federated church is one in which all denominations can loin and at tne same time can aenu iucu contributions to their own denomina tion. A good, broad man needs to be at the head of such a church. A sal ary of $1,800 will get such a man, as it is a much better average salary than most of the preachers in tne larger towns receive. Here is an opportunity for a cen tralized social center with the church becoming the big asset in the com munity. One big man couia ao won ders in this community in a short time. There are many other com munities in the same condition in Kansas. DEATH RATE AS TO OCCUPATIONS Dr. Jacques Bertillon, formerly chief of the Paris department of sta tistics, has published a study of mor tality in the different vocations, divid ins them into five groups according to their particular causes of death: em ployments exposing the workman to (1) alcohol, (2 lead-poisoning, (3) organic waste, (44) the weather, and (5) confined positions. These- five groups are subdivided into a hundred distinct vocations. The principal causes of mortality prove to be alco holism, diseases of the lung, heart, liver and nervous system, diabetes, suicide and accidents. Most healthful are those vocations enrried on in the open air, provided they permit movement, those restrict ing freedom of movement, though enrried on in the open air, are harm ful. Trades exposing the workmen to alcohol and to lead-poisoning are the most dangerous. Mortality is lowest among railway ensincmen, wood-sawyers, teachers, attorneys and clergymen. It is nearly as low among physicians, pharmacists, architects. lawyers clerks, mail and telograph employees, commercial trav elers, grocers, fruiterers, hatters, book sellers, hardwaremen, watchmakers, hosiers, tanners, masons, road labor ers and servants. Mortality is higher than the general average among public .office clerks, street railway employees, gas-workers, sellers of fish and poultry, jewelers, cloth merchants, saddlers, bakers, mil lers, butchers, curriers, ropemakers, cabinetmakers, carters, roustabouts and sailors. Mortality is highest among day la borers, stevedores, miners, stonecut ters, tradespeople, coachmen, grooms, fopt-boys. jockeys, dealers in notions, printers, blacksmiths, tilers, glass makers, messengers, cutlers, chimney sweeps, barbers and musicians. Puicide is encountered in nearly all vocations, but is rare among clergy men, officers, railway, mail and tele graph employees, shipbuilders, saw yers, employees in gas works and booksellers- It is quite rare among tanners, masons, farmers, roadbuild ers, boatmen, fishermen, wheelwrights and miners. It is met comparatively often among grocers, hardwaremen, cloth merchants. coopers, hosiers, blacksmiths, glassmakers, cabinetmak ers, tobacconists, notaries and lawyers' clerks, teachers, architects, sailors and gamekeepers. Suicide is frequent among brewers, tilers, dealers in no tions, cutlers, hatters, barbers, trades people, clockmakers, jewelers, domes tics, dairymen, sellers of fish and poultry, gardeners, commercial travel- ers, attorneys, physicians and pharma cists. All these vocations show a fre quency of suicide above the average, but the highest suicide rate is found among saloonkeepers, the servants of retail storekeepers, chimney sweeps, butchers, fruiterers and musicians. The correspondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association summarizes the report in an interest ing letter. JOURNAL ENTRIES No man can make much of a show by parading his virtues.

Talking about irrigation for south western Kansas, remarks the Ellin wood Leader, there is more irrigable land in the valley of the Arkansas river and its tributaries than there is in all the mountain states. Editor Focht of the Eureka Messen ger, declares that the fact that his in come is not large enough to come un der the provisions of he statute is the only thing regarding the income tax provision of the new tariff bill that is bothering him. Among the rural correspondents of the Gove ounty Republican Gazette are those who use these noms de plume: "Autumn," "Ahrae," "Sleepy J.." "Guess Who," "The Hermit," "Pretty,". and "Mocking Bird." Rather an original assortment, eh? Kansas, writes Charles Blakesley in the Kansas City Star, is kicking for a court reform, too, citing as a noxious ease of delayed justice the action of Judge J.

Long Drought, Judge Pluvius finally came through with an overwhelming decree 'way long in October, too late to apply the funds on the lawyer's fee. The real aristocrat these days, thinks the Oakley Graphic, is indicated by the egg that clings to his chin. Some observations by Mrs. Peffer in her Eureka Herald; Silence Is an ac quired art and most difficult of at tainment. In taking the conceit out of the other fellow, we generally add to our own stock. Some folks are so exclusive that they refuse to recognize their own consciences. Many people have the idea that truth, like rubber, will go farther if they stretch it. An imagination, which can at all times keep the goal in sight, is half the battle in winning success. If the high cost of liv ing should ever revise downward, the art of conversation would also suffer a decline. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. Customers make the laws that busi ness has to obey. If you want to admire a sunrise, get up; don't stay up. When two do live as cheap as one, it is a sign they have to. A man who doesn't bet more than he can afford to lose, isn't apt to bet. Cheese is probably the only food product that costs more after it has spoiled. In a country town, ice cream in the winter is regarded as the Eiffel tower of extravagance. Judging from their penmanship, many lawyers learn law before they learn the alphabet. Conceit causes many a man's down fall in this way: He thinks he is superior, and can quit. An only child may be spoiled, and still miss a good deal of fun that should come to children. There are also the sort of citizens who imagine they are patriotic be cause their ancestors were. Sometimes it happens that a man keeps close to his work without get ting a great deal of it done. Remember that the delinquency of your boss is a poor example to fol low. Maybe he can afford it. One shouldn't allow his curiosity to lead him around to look on the re verse side of a danger signal. Cutting two cords of wood a day represents a lot of hard wort com pared with the revenue it yields. When the gas meter does lie, it is usually in favor of the company, as any ultimate consumer will tell you. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. 1 Few people are so sympathetic as to feel sorry for their creditors. You can't very well dodge the toll gates on the road to Success. The shopping district constitutes the average woman's idea of the buy ways of life. Where respect is concerned, an ounce of gray hair is worth a pound of bald head. Blobbs "Our friend Shorty boasts that he is every inch a gentleman." Slobbs "Yes, but he's almost a dwarf." The man who is a failure is apt to think success accidental, but the suc cessful man doesn't attribute failure to the same cause. She "The self-made man takes all the credit to himself."

The Dowager Duchess Marie c Saxe-Coburg denies that her daughter is betrothed to Prince George or Greece, clinching her denial by stat ing that the prince and princess have never seen each other.

The amputation of the Isthmus of Panama was some surgical operation but no greater from a local viewpoint than the operation that removed the tumors from the Sixth street car cross ings. A woman thinks a man saves 15 cents every time he shaves himself, but he doesn't. If he did, he would knock off work and put in full time giving himself the "once over." But if he did, what proflteth a man to save 15 cents and lose his soul by breaking the Second Commandment? The floor of the National House and the Congressional Record have been used for a number of purposes other than national legislation. 1 he latest use seems to be as a campaign ing place for the United States sena torial job from Jawgy, Kisser Hobson and Tariff Underwood contestants- Some long-suffering taxpayer should invite them to hire a hall.

"A ridiculous proposition on the face of it," said the major, his blue eyes fiery, and his imperial lifted until its tip barely touched his shirt front. Etoile. never evtn moved. Perched comfortably fn: tie arm of his chair, with one slender arm barricading him, she held him, prisoner. "But, dear, what difference does it all make now?" "Difference? Etoile, you are nine teen, aren't you? You have no idea of the deadly struggle which took' place some years back before your birth." "And I don't want to, dad. I hate the very sound of it. I don't even like to see veterans parading, the poor old fellows. I'm sure if it had happened today in our time, we would have found a decent, well-bred way out of it instead of peppering each other the way you did. It's awfully bad form for members of the same family to fight publicly with each other." The major stared, and then slowly a broad smile overspread his features. "Does Harvey Granger dare to fill your head with this piffling nonsense after I chased his father from one end of the wilderness to the other, and cut off his last retreat?" "He laid you up in the army hospi tal for four months after it, dad. Now, don't deny it. for it's the proudest achievement of the colonel's whole war career, and if you take that away from him I don't know what he would live on." The major fumed and fretted. "You boss me shamefully. Positive ly bullyrag me. You coaxed me into wintering here in New York instead of South in comfort. You coaxed me into an apartment hotel instead of my own comfortable ljome study. With a good open fire to cheer me. And now you bring out my worst war-time ene my and ask me to go and call on him because he is crippled and cannot very well call on me. As though any mor tal power could make Tad Granger call on me." "Oh, he would, really and truly, dad," Etoile insisted. "He's the dear est, jolliest old gentleman" "Since -when have you hae the pllas ure of his acquaintance?" "Harvey wanted me to meet him so much, and I know Harvey well, dad. You don't realize that I've been run ning up here for three whole years, visiting Aunt Winifred, and meeting a great many people." "How old is the sub?" The major's eyebrows looked as shaggy and fero cious as some old lion's. "Twenty-four. He's in his last year at 'tech' mining engineering, dad, and he wants to go down to Peru after- ward; in fnct, we had planned" she stopped short, a quick flush sweeping over her fa?e "to give him a sort of send off, you know." If the major suspected any ulterior motive in her demands, he feigned a disregard of any ambuscade. But neither coaxing nor pouting availed. He would not call upon Col. Granger in his suite at the Andorra; neither would he leave his card for him. He would barely respond to Harvey's cor dial bow with a reluctant lifting of one forefinger to his hat brim when they passed him sometimes on the drive. There would be a swift glance inter changed between Etoile and the col onel's son. but that was all. Some of her mother's splendidly vivacious Lor raine spirit must have kept Etoile's heart light those days. She had been born in France and brought up there, during the major's diplomatic serv ices abroad. The career that lay be- I fore Harvey, with its promise of ad venture and achievement, had ap pealed to her from the first of their ac quaintance. It had not been chance at all that had led them to the Andorra. Her: aunt had engaged their suite before their arrival, and in New York one is most liable to run across friends and acquaintances in apartment hotels, s the major had not suspected anything. I Etoile's birthday was the following ween, sne naa tola tne major sne was planning a quiet little home party in the roof garden of the hotel.

"Dearie, don't get a bit fussed, now," she warned, "for it Is my night, you know, and and oh, dad, re member she hesitated. Over her shoulder she could see Harvey leaving tne elevator, witn ner aunt, and one other, one who had to be aided ten derly along. "Remember this is neu tral ground and I am your hostess, dear." At that the major's head went up. His blue eyes, clear and bright at 74, eyed the approach of the late enemy with almost a challenge, but it was a handsome old enemy, with a smile that totally disarmed enmity. Lean ing on his cane, he extended his hand. "Major, accept my compliments on this joyous occasion. It is a pleasure to meet you again, er on neutral ground." Harvey's eyes twinkled behind his father. The major's sister put one arm around Etoile and kissed her, and looking at them all, the major's last defense went down. He stroked his imperial and shook the colonel's hand. "Now, dear, silly, precious old fath ers," said Etoile joyously, once she had seated them side by side, with Harvey safe at her other hand and her aunt to flank any retreat, "wish me many happy returns of the day this minute. Tell them, Harvey." And Harvey told, with a simple, earnest manliness that made even the major lift one doubtful, tentative eye brow. He had not thought the boy had it in him. Very briefly he explain ed the hope that lay before Etoile and himself and then he asked the major for his greatest treasure. "It's rather ridiculous," the major insisted, thoughtfully. "Considesjng what we both did to each other in the! Wilderness, eh, colonel, but they say in a few more years there won't be one of us left to hold up a tattered flag Memorial day. I presume to say we had better retreat in good order. If I may, I shall do myself the -honor of calling upon you tomorrow, col onel." 'Delighted to see you any time. major," tTie colonel shot back, and over the pink-shaded lights the two clasped hands in friendship, for the first time, on neutral ground.

Cameron, editor of the Courtland Register, appar ently has his share of trouble, having no less than three state cases to be tried at the October term of the district court of Republic county, beginning in Belleville next week. One is for criminal libel, one for resisting an officer and one an appeal of the city of Courtland against Mr. Cam eron. The Good Case Tried Today. Having overruled the motion to quash, the district court today heard evidence in the case of A. H Good, charged with obtaining signature of a written instrument under false pre tenses and obtaining money under false pretenses. He represented last May, it is alleged, to J. N. Brown that he was salesman for a company in Cleveland, Ohio, and obtained a sum exceeding $33. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and was bound over on $1,000 bond. His attorneys, Monroe, Roark McClure, mad mo tion to quash, alleging information did not state evidence sufficient to constitute a public offense, and that information, charging more than one offense, was duplicious. The court ruled that the defendant should know which of the two counts he was charged with in the action. The coun ty attorney responded that the state would rely upon the obtaining of the signature.

TALE OFJHE FIRE Member of the Rescued Crew of the Volturno Tells in Graphic Language Story of the Disaster. STARTED WITH AN EXPLOSION Of a Drum Containing Oil or Some Chemicals. Others Followed in Rapid Suc cession, lie Says. New York, Oct. 15. In broken Eng lish, Bisselman, rescued member of the Volturno crew who arrived on the Grosser Kurfuerst, told of his experi ence during the 18 hours he was aboard the Volturno.

"I was just going to the bridge," he said, "when the first explosion occurred. The Volturno trembled as if she had been struck by a heavy shell. Almost immediately other drums began to ex plode. There was a rapid tire of explo sions that sound like cannonading. "Captain Inch was on the bridge. 1 heard him shout out to man the life boats. The passengers came running in panic to the decks.

"Flames swept up from No. 1 com partment forward and leaped to the forecastle. Within a few minutes it was blazing. The gale fanned the fire "A boat was lowered and made away. It seemed as if it would cap size every minute. We lost it time aft er time in the trough of the sea. .An other was smashed against the davits before it could be lowered. The car penter's boat, filled with men, women and children, put oft". Each boat re quired a complement of sailors to man it and as each got away it left us with fewer men to lower the remaining boats. Women Swept Overboard. "I helped lower the third officer's boat. When it struck the water a heavy sea hit it and swept several of the women overboard. The chief offi cer was swept overboard too, but he held on and climbed back. I saw him take out an oar to steer the boat away from the ship. "The fourth officer's boat was low ered next. About 25 passengers were in it. We let it clear of the ship and I saw it far away, about ten minutes afterward. That was the last time that boat was ever seen so far as I know. "I ran to the starboard and saw an other boat full of people. We did not lower that, however, as the captain said that the sea was too high and that a boat could not live in it. I turned around and saw the carpenter's boat floating 100 yards or so away. It was bottom up. "The captain then gave the order to fight the fire. I went on the bridge. He coupled the hose to the pumps and stretched two lines of it through the smoke and flames to No. 1 compart ment. The first line was lowered into No. 1, the second one into No. 2. At that time, however, there was no smoke coming from No. 2. "We had been working the wireless for nearly an hour. Finally we got word that the Carmania was coming full speed to help us. I ran to the passengers who were huddled aft. Some of them were praying, some laughing. I shouted to them at the i top of my lungs that the Carmania was coming. Most of them fell on their knees. The panic among them enaea. Back to the Bridge. "I went back to the bridge. The captain told me that the rigging to the main mast had broken or burned and that the mast was in danger of falling over the side of the ship. I got a cou ple of tackles from the cargo and fixed that, holding to the main mast firm so that the aerials could not go aown ana aestroy our wireless. Then the steering gear on the bridge blew up. We began to drift. "I got the carpenters at work in a hurry, and they fixed up a hand steer ing gear. We did not want to drift away from the spot for fear the Car mania could not find us when she should come up. The Carmania sent a sent us a message to I by west to meet her. but 1- estn fLa. u'? steer southwest we could not do have gone aft. We had to steer before the wind and keep them forward "The captain fought the flames hard and within an hour or two thought he had t..em under control. I went up to take an observation and fix our position. As I came down, the wireless operator shouted t.iat the Carmania had been sighted. "The flames beneath the deck seemed to be under control but the fire in the fore castle was burning fast. The second of-.-cer and several sailors went forward to fight it there.

Both frantic and tearful appeals reached the treas ury department today regarding the enforcement of the tariff law inhibition against the bringing in of bird plumage. One man whose dozen cases of grouse were held up at the New York custom house, telegraphed that if he took the plumage oft this game as required by the law the commissioners would re fuse to recognize the birds as grouse. The law, however, is explicit that grouse and partridges bearing their plumage cannot be brought into the country.

It is understood that Tinker will sign his 1014 contract Monday. Slight restrictions will be put in Tinker's personal leeway, for Herrmann significantly said today: "Tinker will have charge of the club on the field, but will have to confer with me on all deals."

Chris Wendel. who claims tn be a world's champion Ions distan-e blcvrle rider who is tourine the world on a wheel, spent today in looking for work to buy material to start him on his way again. "Irish" May. Wendel's companion on the proposed world tour, has left and the two expect to meet at Dodge City. Wendel is awaiting a shipment of post cards from New York city for htm to sell. The cards have been delayed and the 21-year-old cyclist must remain in Topeka until they arrive. The athletic club at Linden. X. J.. raised a fund of J45 for a bicycle trip around the world, those succeeding before June 2. 1914. receiving the money. On June 2S of this year, seven professional bicyclists left New York city for the 25.i tnlle trip. The party visited Washington and received President Wilson's signature RESIN0L HEALS ITCHING ECZEMA Completely Cured When Three Years of Other Treatments Did Xo Good. June 14, 1913. "Four years ago I de veloped a bad case of eczema on my face which was not only bad to look at, but extremely annoying by reason of burning and itching. It was in very large sores, looked almost like boils. "As soon as the disease healed a tri fle in one place always leaving the skin dark it appeared in another, get- ting worse as it advanced. After three' years' treatment it grew no better, un til I found Resinol. I used both Resl nol Soap and Resinol Ointment, and after two months not a trace of the eczema remained." (Signed) Miss Beu Ish Amanda Elliott. Greenwood, Del. Sesinol Soap and Resinol Ointment re also speedily effective In even the stubbornest cases of pimples, black heads, dandruff, sores and piles.

The two Yankees are the ones who have reached this far and intend to win the wager. Wendel and May will follow the Santa Fe trail to New Mexico. They expect to arrive at San Francisco before December. From that point they will take a liner or freight steamer to a Chinese port and; then travel overland to Siberia. The two will traverse most of the length of that country and enter Europe by Russia. Be fore sailing for America they will have to go through Austria. Germany. France, England. Wales and Ireland. On the final round of the trip thev will land in Mon treal and go direct to New York city from there. Wendel has pent several nights at the Provident association, working a short time in the morning to pay for the bed. .e has not a cent to his name but is still cheerful and declares that he has been in worse conditions before on the trip. On the arrival of the post cards he will get material for the repairs on the wheel and tnen continue his Journey westward. Chris Wendel held the world's cham pionship for lw mile bicycle riding and r.! won several important races against European riders. Last week in Independ ence. Mo., he won from the champion 01 t..e Kansas Citv Athletic club. He will leave here Friday even if the cards fail to come before then. TARIFFS BY THE TON. Are Filed With the I. C. C. by East ern Railroads. Washington, Oct. 15. Freight tar iffs proposing the advance of five per cent by the eastern railroads poured in on the interstate commerce com mission today by the ton. All of the great eastern lines, including the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Erie, Baltimore Ohio. Reading, Lackawanna and Lehigh Valley, riled their new rates. The preliminaries of the case now are complete. The proposed increases stand as suspended for three months, or tor such part of that period as may be required for investigation. Xo defin ite time has been fixed for the begin ning of hearings, but It probably will be early in December. Louis D. Brandeis of Boston, who will direct the opposition to advances, already has begun work on the case. FOOD IS SCARCE. Little Chance for Reduction In the Cost of Living. Washington, Oct. 15. Small cheer for the housekeepers' already depleted purses is held out by the experts of the department of agriculture, who today announced that food crops and meats QUICK AND SURE STOMACH DOCTOR "Tape's Diapepsin" Ends Indigestion, Gas. Sourness and Stomach Misery in Five Minutes. Time it! Pape's Diapepsin will di gest anything you eat and overcome a sour, gassy or out-of-order stomach surely within five minutes. If your meals don't fit comfortably, or what you eat lies like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heartburn, that is a sicn of indiges tion. Get from your pharmacist a fifty cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a dose just as soon as you can. There will be no sour risings, no belching of undigesced food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling In the stomach, nausea, debilitating headaches, dizziness or in testinal griping. This will all go, and. besides, there will be no sour food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors. Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure for out-of-order stomachs, because it takes hold of your food and digests it just the same as if your stomach wasn't there. Relief in five minutes from all stom ach misery is waiting for you at any drug store. These large fifty-cent cases contain enough "Pape's Diapepsin" to keep the entire family free from stomach disorders and indigestion for many months. It belongs in your home. Adv. were scarce. As a result the "high cost of living," may be more altitudinous than ever. Combined estimates of the crops that go to make up the food sup plies of the table are not encourag ing, while the price of meat animals on September 1. was far in excess of the figures for the last two years. "The high co6t of meat is a serious reality," said James M. Pickens, of the j bureau of animal industry, "and it is now obvious that the rise in prices in j recent years is the natural result of an j actual shortage in production It is evi dent, also, that the country is feeling an era of short production of meat and that constructive means must be adopt ed if the American appetite for this class of food is to be supplied." Little hope for lower prices in meat through the competition of meats from Argentina, Australia and other beef producing countries is seen by the ex perts who declare that with the free markets of England and other coun tries open to it "meat can hardly be come plentiful and cheap in this coun try." Equally pessimistic views are entertained with regard to the cotton crop which is the poorest of any in the last ten years with one exception. Thus it is said, mournfully, less cloth ing may accompany the necessity of more meagre menus in the immediate future. THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME Topeka Will Play Ottawa Friday In stead of Saturday. The football game scheduled for Sat urday between Ottawa and Topeka high schools at Ottawa, has been changed to Friday to suit the convenience of the Ottawa authorities. It is claimed that larger crowds would be present on Friday than on Saturday and Principal A. J. Stout will allow the local team to play on Friday. The local team played a star game against Atchison last Saturday, but the Atchison team is probably greatly in ferior to Ottawa. Coach Stahl is work ing his men hard this week for the game Friday and says that the team never was in better condition. Ottawa is said to have one of the best high school teams in the state and the local squad will prepare for a stiff contest. Atchison, Kan., Oct. 15. In a strong statement issued today. Lieutenant Governor Ingalls leaves no doubt about his attitude toward the new Progres sive party and declares that where Roosevelt leads, he will follow. In galls urges the Kansas Progressives to stand firm for their principles and urges that it is not necessary to wait until they may see "what Wilson will do," but to prepare to make a fight in the coming campaign. That Governor Hodges and the state administration is putting Kansas back in the days before the Boss Buster uprising, is the assertion contained in Ingalls' direct slap at the present rule in Kansas. It is, therefore, to the Pro gressive party that the voters must look with hope, according to the view taken by the lieutenant governor. Xo eMntion of His Candidacy. In discussing the political situation Ingalls dodges all reference to the possibility of his own candidacy for governor. Yet Ingalls. it is claimed, has the refusal of the Progressive nomination. In fact, within the last few days the matter has been checked back to the Atchison man and the Progressive leaders are now waiting for his answer. Whether, therefore, Ingalls' statement at this time is of more than passing political importance remains to be seen. His statement as to his own political convictions and j the situation in the state and nation is as follows: I "ThdW i Tin ri l o s; f i uti i t 1 t Vi -i tharn is a feeling of doubt in the breasts of the great mass of voters as to what their future political alignment will be. This is even true to some extent with regard to those who are nominal Dem ocrats and the demarkation between the liberal and conservative forces both within the dominant party but more particularly among those outside of it will not be clear and distinct un til after it is known 'what Wilson will do.' "So far as I am concerned, however, my mind is made up. I propose to remain in the Progressive ranks and I can see no rational reason why any man who has been identified with the Progressive forces in Kansas should abandon his political principles now merely for the sake of expediency. I i realize that there is a determined movement on foot towards the amal gamation of the Progressive and Re publican parties in Kansas. This movement has its origin and inspira tion in the desires of certain pseudo leaders to affect the organization of a fighting force, which will lift from the seats of power the Democrats in this state. I have no patience or sympathy for those who are animated solely by such partisan motives. They are sim ply false leaders bereft of political ideals. Those of us who have been real progressives in the Republican party and did all in our power to make and keep that party responsive to the hopes, aspirations and present needs of the people in state and nation, know the bitter and hateful opposition with which we have been continually beset in the past. It was an ugly and a pro longed contest, which grew in bitter ness from day to day. The Repub lican organization in Kansas at the time of the Chicago convention was as progressive as the national Progres sive party which came into existence the following August, and the Repub lican platform was equally as pro gressive. We fought the fight out again, and those of us on the Repub lican ticket classed as progressives still hoped against hope that we could bring the party in line. As a result of our efforts, a Progressive w-as de feated for governor and every other Progressive on the ticket elected went in by reduced majorities. Lauds the Xew Party. "Why, then, keep up this fight within the ranks? Every Progressive or liberal today has a real political home. Why not get into it and stay there and discuss and help to solve the live issues of today rather than cling to the outworn issues of the dead and gone past. The Progressive party has a great program, humanitarian in its origin and practical in its ap Dlication. It makes a strong appeal to these of us who are earnestly striving to make political conditions in this country better. It is a party of the present and the future and was born out of the necessities of the times. It is a vital, living force, representing specific, concrete and rational ideas. It is open to those who may come with the wish to work in harmony for a definite, fixed set of principles. "It makes no difference "what Wil son does." The principles of the Pro gressive party will live and sooner or later will be enacted into law, not byj reactionaries, not by standpatters, not by compromisers and amalgamation-1 1st, but by Progressives. j "So far as Wilson is concerned, if h? "does make good," we will take I him into the Progressive party, but I it is hardly possible that this apostle of a New Freedom who remains an advocate of "states rights" and the restoration of the ruinous and archaic competitive system as applied to in dustrial affairs, could ever become a good Progressive. The Big National Issues. "I do not entertain any hope that the Democratic party will ever become the progressive party under the lead ership of President Wilson or anybody else. It is true that the Payne-AI-drich tariff law has been repealed but it is by no means certain that the new tariff law will reduce the cost of living Open Tonight Until 9 Auerbach S Guette! jpecial Rallies onight 85c SPECIAL VALUES IN MEN'S FINE PERCALE NEGLIGEE SHIRTS tailored extra well, perfect in fit, made of fast color Percale and Chambray $l.o0, $1.Zd value, special tomorrow 50c and 75c Flannel Night Robes, 39c Men's domet flannel night robes.

Grave errors in the law have already been discovered as there al ways will be in a tariff law not framed by a nonpartisan commission along scientific lines. The adminis tration is already on the rocks as far as currency legislation is concerned. If a currency bill is finally passed sat isfactory to the administration and the bankers and the people, the next great problem for President Wilson and his congress to handle, will be the control of the industrial corporations and then watch for the break in the Democratic party. "We do not have to "Wait to see what Wilson will do." We are advo cates of affirmative, not negative ac tion, and if it is merely leaders we are looking for, I would rather a thousand fold follow Roosevelt than Wilson any time. He is without qualification the greatest leader of modern times. He has sacrificed more than any other member of the Progressive party has, and so far as I am personally con cerned, so long as he is willing to lead, I am ready to give him the little sup port of which I am capable. Jolt for Democrats. "In state affairs, there is every rea son for a Progressive to remain a Pro gressive. The present administration in Kansas over which Governor Hodges presides is notoriously a po litical administration. "In another two years Kansas will be back where it was prior to the up rising of the "Boss Busters," when Jim Troutman and his faithful cohorts scourged the political money changers from the temple. Hodges is a shifty politician who is progressive only to the extent of wanting to see the Pro gressive party perpetuate itself in Kansas in order that the 'opposition' may be divided so that he can 'slip in' again. He does not sincerely advocate tho measures the Progressives stand for and if he is re-elected governor of Kansas, it will be by the help of the stindpatters as before and not the Progressives, for the Progressive party will have its own ticket in the field. I urge all real Progressives to stand firm. Be loyal to your principles. To surrender now to those who have heretofore betrayed us, simply for reasons of political plunder, would ba ignoble."

The Topeka high school football team will clash with the Ottawa high school eleven at Ottawa on Friday in stead of Saturday. It seems that it is impossible to get a good crowd at games at Ottawa on Saturday. Police officers have been ordered to arrest all suspicious characters in To peka in order to discover the negro who attempted to rob two Topeka wo men Monday night and early Tuesday morning. A number of persons have already signified their intention of Joining the church as a result of the revival meet ings that are being held each evening at the Redden mission.

Deepest apologies, fresh from the Blar ney Stone, are herewith presented to the son of Old Erin. J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Commercial club,- has returned from a trip to Dayton, Ohio. Mr. Kelley spent Sunday afternoon with hia par ents in Portland, Ind. Mr. Kelley stated that he went to Dayton on "purely personal' business. There was a rumor that he was offered the secretaryship of the Commercial club of that place, but a great many ru mors are now making the rounds. The stage of the Kaw river at To peka this morning was but 3.4 feet. This is but four-tenths of a foot above the lowest mark reached dur ing the recent drouth. This shows that the greater part of the water that has recently fallen in Kansas has sunk into the ground. According to "Sunny" Flora, the local weather ob server, the subsoil Is still dry, al though there is plenty of moisture for a depth of two or three feet. Miss Eliza R. Butler, daughter of Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, will spend Oc tober 2 7 and 2 8 in Topeka with a view to organizing a T. W. C.

She will be accom panied by Miss Lucy L. Riggs, field' student secretary of Denver, Colo. T. A. Borman. editor of the Kan sas Farmer, will speak at agricultural meetings in ten towns in Labette county in the week beginning Octo ber 20. The Labette County Bank ers' association has arranged the se ries of meetings for the benefit of the farmers of the county. A number of strong speakers have been pro cured. The towns at which the meet ings will be held are: Altamont, Mound Valley, Angola, Edna. Bart lett. Chetopa, Montana. Labette, Hen derson, Dennis and Oswego. Arrangements will be completed for a reunion of the soldiers of the Twen tieth Kansas regiment on October 23- 24 at a meeting Friday night at the office of Dr. Seth A. Hammel. An entertainment feature of the reunion may be a line party at a local theater. A luncheon will be held at the Com mercial club Friday noon, October 24. Addresses will be given by Captain Joseph G. Waters and R. L. Cofran, mayor of Topeka. In the evening a smoker will bo given at the armory with George H. Hodges, governor of Kansas, as a speaker.

The Topeka Local Union wilL give a picnic supper and reception for the state officers of the Kansas Christian Endeavor union at the Second United Presbyterian church on the evening of October 22. The Rev. Robert Gor don of the First Baptist church will act as toastmaster at the picnic sup per. Miss Mabel Treleaven will speak on "Honk-Honk." Paul Williams will respond to the toast, "Our 1914 Model." Miss Irene Troxel will talk on "Up Hill on High." J. D. Zim merman will tell about "Tire Trou bles." Miss Mildred Leeper will sing; also Waldo Heywood. The picnic supper will start at 6:30 o'clock. Through a trade with J. H. Evans, of 117 Clay street, who will spend the winter in California, the Kansas Chil dren's Home society has procured the Evans property for a temporary re ceiving home to take the place of the home in Oakland which is entirely in adequate. The newly acquired property has ten rooms and considerable furni ture has been donated by Mr. Evans. The house is arranged so that it will be possible to keep the boys and girls in separate parts of the building. It has been necessary to lock the doors of the rooms in the building in Oakland and of course the practice Is not a good one on account of danger from fire. At the present time the society has 20 applicants for babies, and can not supply the demand. There is a growing demand for kiddies. The official board of the First Meth odist church has prepared the follow ing tribute in memory of B. M. Davies: "Brother Davies was a highly respect ed member of this community, a Chris tian gentleman of public enterprise and sterling worth. He contributed largely to the development of the city of To peka. as he was always loyal to its interests. As a member of the Meth odist church, he was faithful and effi cient, and always gave liberally of his time, talents and money to the up building and welfare of the church. He was an active and valuable member of I the official board. We shall miss him i in our counsels. The church and com- j munity will miss him financially and J socially, we tender to Mrs. Davies and the family our most earnest sympathy in this, their sad bereavement." Many radical changes will undoubt edly be made in the constitution of the Kansas State Teachers' associa tion at the meeting in Topeka Novem ber 6-7. In speaking of the DroDosed changes in a letter sent to the mem bers of the association M. E. Pearson, chairman of the committee, says: "The teachers must have a paid secretary on' the job the whole year around with an office in the state house. This person must be free and independent and a powerful advocate of the cause of education and the rights of the teachers. Kansas teaehers need to have a champion for their cause and their work. A state council is pro vided to federate all the educational interests of the state. Perhaps many of the minor details of our plan are debatable. However, let us all get together for some big educational movements in the state." COMMERCIAL CLUB CAMPAIGN It Will Close Thursday With Final nourish. The trustees of Washburn college are searching for a competent educa tor to fill the chair of philosophy that Prof. Edward H. Reisner may resign to accept a professorship with the state agricultural college at Manhat tan. If Washburn can find a satisfac tory man for the place Professor Reis ner will be allowed to break his year's contract and go to the chair offered him at the state's school. Otherwise he will remain in Topeka and main tain the position at the head of the department in Washburn college. Professor Reisner came to Wash burn in 1910 following the resigna tion of Prof. E. C. Wilm. He entered into the spirit of the institution and today is one of the most popular and efficient members of the college fac ulty. He is interested in student en terprises as well as the upbuilding of the work of Washburn and will leave a place hard for the trustees to fill. He was offered the Manhattan pro fessorship by the state board of ad ministration a chair that offered more influence and a larger salary than paid at Washburn. The trustees, when they heard of the offer, gave Professor Reisner permission to leave Washburn provided that an educator could be found to fill the chair. This resignation on the part of Professor Reisner is another blow to Washburn college energy. For years the state schools have been capturing Instructors and professors found and reputed through the work at the To peka school. Washburn, extremely fortunate in the choice of her pro fessors, and successful in the high class instruction of her students, has been handicapped through the action of the state schools In inducing the educators to leave by tempting sal aries and increased authority. A few years ago Kansas university took Prof. Frank B. Dains, head of the chemistry department of Washburn. Professor Dains turned down several offers before he finally left Washburn. The final offer was too tempting for the dean to refuse. Then came the offer from the state to President Sanders. Dr. Sanders was offered the presidency of the state nor mal school at Emporia. A conference between the college trustees and the state officers followed but no satisfac tion was given. President Sanders finally brought his los-alty to Washburn into play and refused to leave the To peka school for the state position. This was followed by an ofTer to Dean Arthur of the law school. The Wash burn law school has won a remarka ble reputation over the country through its efficiency in instructions. The board of administration saw a chance to im prove the K. U. work by capturing the Washburn dean. Dean Arthur, how ever, remained in Topeka and this year has done more than ever in the up building of the law department. He is an invaluable man to the college. Later Prof. E. D. Osborn was offered a salary twice the size of the compen sation given him by Washburn and he went to the K. ,UV law school. Under conditions It is nearly impossi ble for the privately maintained schools to hold their instructors against the offers of the state schools. representing Austria, was reported to day as having landed near Saint Malo on the English channel.

Fredonia Citizens Appeal to Public Utilities Commission. r Many of Fredonia's most prominent citizens are appearing before the pub lic utilities commission today In sup port of a petition requesting the build ing of better depot facilities and for improvement of tracks and railways service. The application for railway improvements were made with the commission several weeks ago and -he cases were consolidated. According to the petitions, the rail way in facilities in Fredonia are not what they should be. For instance the town feels dire need of at least a cou ple of' new depots. Then, too, Fredonia does not feel that the train service and equipment is sufficient ror a town ot the importance and dignity of the Wil son county seat and would appreciate an order regulating ana improving the present railway schedules. These cases brought a number of the town's most prominent and influential business men to Topeka today and they are urging the commission to issue an order affording the desired relief.

Workers who were "on the job" last week and vol unteers are expected to meet at the Commerce building at nine o'clock Thursday morning. A meeting of campaigners was held held today at the club quarters. About a dozen men were chosen as commit tee chairmen. Each one of them is ex pected to get two others to serve make up a full committee. Following are those who will act as chairmen: Harry Snyder, Frank Curry, E. L. Overton. G. R. Harries. E. L.

Hoyes. Diplomatic Conference Called. Washington, Oct. 15. The Spanish minister to Mexico has called a con ference today of the entire diplomatic corps i-. the Mexican capital, to dis cuss Huerta's decree of dictatorship, and the situation generally. Advices to that effect reached the state de partment early today from Charge O'Shaughnessy- Washington, Oct. 15. Representa tive Underwood, an early White House caller today, defended the 5 per cent clause of the tariff law giving a dis count to imports in American ships by declaring it was merely a return to the original Democrat doctrine of Madison and Jefferson, and would re habilitate the American merchant ma rine. "I am not hunting a trade war," said Mr. Underwood, "but the presi dent has the right to cancel any trade agreement that we have that may conflict with this provision. The 5 percent clause is not nearly so drastic as the maximum and minimum pro vision of the Payne-Aldrich law. I don't believe in subsidies. The ship per of the merchandise under this ar rangement would get the 5 per cent reduction and the ship owner would benefit by the increase of business, both of which objects are desirable." Mr. Underwood declared that before the bill became a law he had ac quainted President Wilson with those views, and that since the signing of the measure the president had not in quired of him about the subject. Mr. Underwood said he was not speaking for the-president. Mr. Underwood expressed the opinion that there would be no trade war as much as foreign countries had discrim inated in favor of their own shipping. Later it became known that President Wilson held practically the same view of the situation as did Mr. Underwood and that the whole matter would be threshed out in diplomatic channels instead of by any effort to repeal or modify the law. The French ambassa dor, Jules Jusserand, who returned to day, had an engagement with the president. URIED MINERS LIVE. Rescuers Find a Party of Twenty-Nine in One Gallery.

The city civil service commission to day sustained the board of city com missioners in the resolution offered re cently calling: for the discharge of W. P. Wilcox, sanitary policeman. The hearing of the case of W. P. Wilcox, who was discharged as a sanitary po liceman by the city commission two weeks ago, and who appealed to the civil service commission for reinstate ment, was heard by the civil service commission this afternoon. Wilcox is a' hold-over appointee of the previous POnent. grievance against the township board for failure to lay out that public high way as it was then lawfully estab lished. It seems to me that a suit should be instituted in the name of the state of Kansas on the relation of the attorney general or on the relation of the county attorney, or both, in the district court of Shawnee county in mandamus to compel that board to i open that highway and to commence the development of that road with all convenient speed. j "Whether or not you will ask that j the members of the board shall be per- j sonally penalized for their neglect, I j leave to your own good Judgment."

Among the ani-ad ministration forces the claim is made that Wilcox's chief offense has been "political tenaciousness." At the hearing today W. I. Jamison represented Wilcox. When Sanitary Sergeant Ramsey was testifying, Jam ison attempted to make Ramsey's ob jections to Wilcox appear trivial by asking Ramsey what church-- he be longed to. Ramsey refused to say and City Attorney Ralston objected to the question. The objection was sustained. Later C. G. Overmeyer, who was book keeper in the sanitary department un der the Billard administration, was testifying. "Xo Job for a Christian." "Xo Christian can hold that job," declared Overmeyer. speaking of the office of sanitary sergeant, now held by Mr. Ramsey. "It's the city's com plaint department. Everybody com plains and it is just one fuss and racket all the time. It is a job no Christian can hold." "You mean to say that Mr. Ramsey is not a Christian?" interjected City Attorney Ralston. "Well, he refused to say what church he belongs to, if any," replied Overmeyer. There was more fun when that part of the charges was reached in which Mr. Ramsey declared he could not get work done in his department with "political loafers." He testified that he had seen Mr. Wilcox at the state house when the legislature was in ses sion "probably a half dozen times." This was prior to Mr. Ramsey's taking charge of the office.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING- OCTOBER 15, 1913- "WALLOP JEWELL" Slogan Adopted at Washburn for Saturday's Game. Wolfe Is Eligible for Big Con test Stock Goes Up. WASHBURN IN FULL STRENGTH Dope on 3Iissouri Valley Title Favors Jayhawkers. Nebraska and Missouri Will Be Other Contenders. "Wallop William Jewell!"' is the slogan adopted at Washburn for the football frame Saturday and what the Sons of Jchabod plan to do to the eleven from Liberty, Mo., is enough. At present the teams appears to be In better condition than at any time this season and there is nothing to worry Coach Glenn Gray excepting the eligibility rules. The faculty reports on the football players for the first six weeks, will be made before this game and some of the men may be knocked out, but every man has been cautioned and it is believed that they will escape. Practically every regular player will be in the lineup Saturday unless knocked out by this report. The line up will be stronger than in the only other game played, which was with Nebraska and the performance of the eleven in the frame Saturday, will give the first real dope on the strength of the Blue sauad. if dope is worm mucn The strength on the Washburn team continues to increase. Wolfe has neen declared eligible to play in Mis souri Valley conference games. He was held out of the Nebraska game, iro bert will be eligible for the game Saturday. Chamberlain will be out of the game but he Is the only one among the regulars. Glenn Elbe will probably start at quarter and it is likely that Deaver will be given a chance in the same position. Both men have been working well during the last week and especially has Deaver been making a good showing. Billings has recovered from his injuries and his work in practice last night in receiving for ward passes was remarkable. Bearg has overcome his difficulties and was out in uniform last night. His work was spectacular in last night's prac tice. The scrubs and freshmen were sent In against the regulars last night and the latter were given the hardest day of practice that has been served them this season. In addition to the physical condition of the Washburn team, the men have developed a class of speed that will be difficult to overcome and it is believed that this one feature will cause the defeat of the visitors before the end of play in the contest Saturday. Ct)lr Line Protest. The Aggios played Nebraska last Saturday with Ross the big negro guard in the game, and it is likely that the Cornhuskers will not be given any more trouble concerning this man this season. The protest was filed by the Aggies One lady said in one of our stores re cently, "It is a won der that everybody does not buy their goods at the Owl." And it is a wonder!

Ave. because of a rule which draws the color line in games with Missouri Val ley conference teams, but at a meet ing in Lincoln last week, the Nebras- ka athletic board refused to grant the protest. Following this, and uponthe arrival of the Aggie team. Coach Lowman asserted that he did not ob- ject to the playing of this man pro- j viding he played in other conference games. Inasmuch as Koss has played in all games with the Nebraska team and shows an inclination to continue in the game, there was no more trou- ble. With these conditions, it is not believed that the Kansas man- agement will file their protest which was threatened some time ago. Missouri Valley Conditions. Football fans at Lawrence have be gan to dream of another undefeated team for Kansas and the champion- ship of the Missouri Valley confer- ence. On account of this, they have adopted the slogan, "Beat Nebraska," j and they realize that a victory over the Cornhuskers will place the team in a position to fulfill their dreams. j Before meeting the Nebraska elev- en, the Kansas squad must face Drake i and this game will be played next Sat- I urilay. Drake threw a scare into the Kansas camp by defeating Grinnell j by the score of 20 to 0 last Satur- I day. This served to increase the ef- forts of the Kansas coaches and play- j crs and all are working overtime this week. Kansas has been practicing Drake plays this week, and with a good drill in perfecting the Minnesota shift, the Jayhawkers will no doubt drag the Iowans down to defeat. There is no question but that it will be up to Kansas, Missouri and Nebras ka for the conference championship. Kansas will not meet Nebraska for four weeks and in the meantime, the Jayhawkers will meet Drake, the Kansas Aggies, Oklahoma and Wash burn. All of these games will be good ones and will tax the strength of Coach Mosse s squad. In meeting Washburn and the Kansas Aggies he may be re quired to contend with some of the Nebraska plays. With all thiners considered, the Nebraska and Missouri coaches are undergoing a case of fever and fear of the Jayhawker squad. It is be lieved that Kansas has a slight advan tage and will be successful in support ing its claims. The final vote in the Daily Kansan poll taken last week to determine the sentiment of the student body on the question of the removal of the Missouri-Kansas game to Kansas City was 5 74, favoring the removal and 21 opposed. SPEAKS AT LAST Mrs. Mackay Files an Answer to 3Irs. Blake's Suit. ttSr OPEN EVENINGS Come Tonight! o OPEN EVENINGS T" The ace: relix Son's Store Asks to Hare Charges Against Herself Dismissed. New York, Oct. 15. Mrs. Clarence Mackay, suffrage leader and wife of the head of the Postal Telegraph Cable company broke her silence to day regarding the million dollar suit filed against her by Catherine K. Blake, for alleged alienation of the af- j fections of her husband. Dr. Joseph A. i Blake, surgeon. Through her personal counsel, Arthur C. Train, Mrs. Mackey denies all of Mrs. Blake's allegations in a formal answer filed in the su- i preme court and characterizes Mrs. Blake as one who has a "jealous dis position, an ungovernable temper," and "no affection or love for her hus band, who at one time," it is alleged, she threatened to kill." Since 1895 Mrs. Mackey avers Mrs. Blake has had no affection for the doctor. "On the contrary," the answer con tinues, "she has sought to injure his good name by constantly spreading stories among his patients, friends and relatives, false and unjust rumors and accusations against him regarding his intimacy with other women and his neglect of his marital obligations and has constantly declared to said per sons that she, the said plaintiff, de spised and hated her said husband, and desired to ruin him; and that dur ing the year 1905 and repeatedly thereafter she, the said plaintiff, threatened to kill her said husband. "By reason of the facts alleged in the preceding paragraph the plaintiff is. and at all times mentioned in the complaint, has been estranged from her said husband and has utterly de- i Rtrnvpfl U'hatfVur si f fcftinn nv lr't Vi a may have had for her." Mrs. Mackay alleges further that Dr. Blake has not lived with the plaintiff as his wife since the year 1904, "lorn? prior to the time when he first knew or had acquaintance with the defen dant, but on the contrary, he has avoided the plaintiff as much as pos sible, and by mutual consent the said plaintiff and her husband have at all times since the year 1914, lived sep arately and apart, and since the au tumn of the year 1910 have maintain ed separate and distinct establish ments." Mrs. Mackay says she did not meet Dr. Blake until 1909, long after the breach had come between him and his wife, and she prays therefore that the suit against her be dismissed. The summons and complaint in Mrs. Blake's suit was made public only yes terday. It set forth that she was liv ing with and being supported by Dr. Blake until four years ago. Mrs. Mackay, she charges "wilfully, wick edly and maliciously alienated his af fections." and still alienated them. Mrs. Blake's suit for separation against the doctor is pending in the courts. 629-631 Kansas Avenue Topeka, Kansas The Trustee must vacate the building by the first of the month and has given orders to put Prices on the merchandise that will move it at once.

I see by a statement in your paper that Colonel Roosevelt still says no amalgamation with the Republicans. Now that means that over three mil lion Republicans that voted for Mr. Taft must leave the best party the world ever knew, and follow him anJ a few more like Beveridge and Stubbs, (all defeated candidates) into what they call the Bull Moose Progressive party. Beveridge in his campaign with Roosevelt down East a short time ago made the remark at several different places, that the average life of a party was thirty years. I wonder what coun try he was thinking about; must have been Mexico or some such country. I can remember back pver 70 years and I can't remember when there wasn't a Democratic party. The Republican party is fifty-seven years old, and if the people don't listen to the defeated candidates and traitors to the G. O. P.. it will live a hundred years yet. We boys that fought threa and four years under the good old name Republican don't want to change the name to Bull Moose or anything else. Oh, no, al most as lief change the name of Old Glory, or drop a star from her shining folds. Let's get together, there wasn't dif ference enough in the platforms to keep us apart.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING OCTOBER 15,1913. II LEGAL. Published in The Topeka State Journal October 15, 1913. SUPREME UOUHf SYLLABI. No. 18.379. Atkinson, and John O. Atkin Alice W. son, Appellants, vs. E. Kirkpatrick. Appellee. Appeal from Cowley County. REVERSED. Syllabus. By the Court. Porter. J- 1. It is no objection to a supplemental answer and cross-petition that it alleges matters which have arisen or have be come known subsequent to the filing of the original answer, provided the facts alleged be material and go to divest the plaintiff of the right to maintain the ac tion. 2. In an action by a landlord to recover rent, defendant filed a supplemental an swer setting up a counter claim for dam ages which arose after the original an swer was filed, and which it was alleged resulted from the failure of the landlord to comply with his covenant to repair. Held, that the defense was properly raised by supplemental answer. 3. It is a general rule of the law of damages, that notwithstanding the fault of the other party, the one who is injured in person or property will not be per mitted to recover damages which he might have averted by reasonable diligence. 4. A tenant of a store building under lease by which the landlord covenanted to repair, being sued for rent, set up a counter claim for damages to stock caused bv watw from a defective down-spout and by leaks In the pipes of a water-closet The defense to the counter claim was that the loss resulted from the failure of the tenant to take reasonable precautions to protect his stock after he knew of the risk to which it was exposed. Held, error for the court to refuse to instruct tne Jurv that even though the landlord had failed to complv with his covenant to re pair the tenant should not remain in active and allow increased damages to accrue and recover them from the land lord, when at slight expense, he could have averted the damages or reduced the amount thereof. 5. A part of the counter claim set up in the original cross-petition was for water rent paid by the tenant for water fur nished the building and used by the ten ant. The written lease made no provision with respect to which party should pay for the water, but the answer alleged, and the jury found, that a custom, generally known and acquiesced in. prevails at Ar kansas Citv, by which in the absence of anv agreement, the landlord pays tor water furnished the tenant in case of the lease of a store building. Held, that the existence of the alleged usage or custom could impose no liability upon the land lord nor could it create a contract where the parties h.ive made none, and that proof of such usage is not admissible where the terms of the written lease are clear and unambiguous.

Express warranties of the truthful ness of answers to questions were made in an application for a beneficiary certifi cate and the certificate recited that it was issued sublect to the statements made in the application "which are here n-ori-miteri to be full complete and true, and made a part of this contract." The statements referred to are held to ihe warranties. 2. The following questions ana answeia appear In the application: y. Have you ever nau iwe L consciousness? A. No. Q.

Kansas City. Kansas, pronounces him cured I find no trace myself." The illnPFS referred to occurred seven months before the answers were made in stead of one year but no further question was asked concerning the date. The medi cal examiner of the association applied the best known tests for uremia and then appended to the applicant's answer her own statement. "I find no trace my self" It is held that the association was sufficiently informed of the disease. The precise date being within the period cover ed by the question was not considered important by the nssnc'ation. and should be treated as superfluous. S. The evidence shows that unconscious- ness is an ordinary Incident or man'fes tlon of uremia. Having been informed of the disease the association is charge able with knowledge of this Incident. 4. The association waived the conditions of the policy relating to previous illness from the disease referred to by accepting the risk and issuing the policy with knowledge of such illness and Is estopped from insisting upon a breach of warranty that the applicant bad not had such dis ease or that Its ordinary manifestations had not appeared. 5. In an action to recover an install ment of $100 upon a beneficiary certificate where the defendant Interposed a counter aim for the forfeiture of the certificate, and prayed for cancellation, this court has jurisdiction of an appeal by the de fendant from a judgment for the plain tin" for the recovery of the instalment eued for.

All that is necessary is that the Journal recite correctly the itidirrfient of the court, no matter how or from what source the clerk may have obtained the form used In making the en try. If a dispute arise between counsel as to what was decided or adjudged the court is the final arbiter, and if for any reason the record fail to speak the truth, it is the duty of the court and It has power at any time to order the record changed and corrected. 2. The customary practice by which the opposing counsel agree upon the form which the clerk shall use in recording upon the Journal a judgment decision, or order of the court, has the advantage of preventing disputes over what the terms of the order or judgment are; but even when signed by counsel, or ap proved by the court, the paper Itself is JLEGAL not the record; and there is no provision of law authorizing it to be filed among the papers. It becomes a mere form for the convenience of the clerk in making the record. 3. In this case it is held that since it was not necessary that such a paper b either filed with the clerk or approved by any person, appellant lost nothing by having no opportunity to be heard when it was approved. 4.

Wichita, Kan., Oct. 15. Sedgwick and Sumner counties are in a dispute about an inheritance tax. W. D. Craw ford, a pioneer settler of this section of the state, died last April, leaving an estate valued at $29,000. He left a will disposing of cash in Wichita banks and Sedgwick and Sumner county farms. The inheritance tax was claimed by Sedgwick county. Last week a claim was made for the tax by Sumner coun ty. As the will says, "I, W. D. Craw ford of Sedgwick county," officials of this county say the income tax be longs in Wichita. STATE FAILED IN Ol'STER SLIT. Attempted to Dethrone Commissioners of Mitchell County. Beloit, Kan., Oct. 15. The suits which were brought by Attorney Gen eral John S. Dawson to oust H. T. Prewett, John Englebert and C. M. Sedel, members of the board of coun ty commissioners, from office occupied the attention of District Judge R. M. Pickler here and the court held that no evidence had been presented by the state to warrant an ouster of Appetite Ho! Ho! lis a Great Joy Stnart's Dyspepsia Tablets Are the and Stomach Sufferers Can Use. Appetite is very largely a series of signals from the stomach. When one has a rousing appetite at the sight or smell of food the stomach through its connection with the mind of man ia asked whether the food seen or smelled would be welcome. The stomach if healthy says yes and at once our mouths water and we are hungryfrom desire keenly, ravenous ly hungry. If the stomach be sick then we have no appetite and are ac tually nauseated. Waiter 'How's your appetite to day, sir?" Guest "Bully good. Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets make me eat like a liorse." Appetite makes the glands of the mouth open and saliva flows very free ly hence the term "Mouth Water." This is the first digestive juice. It has an important office to perform as all starchy foods are partially digested by it because one of its ingredients, ptyalin is almost an instant digesti-e of starch. This process reduces the starch in foods to sugar. The appetite causing a free flow of saliva aids the stomach by its ability to mix the food eaten with mouth juices which enable it to more readily do its work. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go' into the mouth like food, are eaten, then dissolved and fluidized by the saliva. This mass then goes into the stomach and there quickly readjusts the stom ach juices so that in a short time food is not offensive and man's appetite comes speedily back to him and he is hungry in a healthy, normal way. By all means use a Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablet the very moment you feel a loss of hunger. The quick return of appetite to you will convince you quickly that your stomach has been out of order and that Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets were the means of restor ing its normally healthy condition. Kvery druggist carries Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets and no matter where you may be you can always obtain a box anywhere for 50 cents. Adv. any of the commissioners from office. The petition filed by the attorney gen eral charged wilful misconduct and neglect of duty, particularly with ref erence to the construction of bridges and the laying out of roads. WONT PAROLE "BUCK." Major Brown Says Veteran Ball Player Must Wait. Lamed, Kan., Oct. 15. Major W. L, Brown, chairman of the state board of correction, was In Lamed attend ing the irrigation convention, and while here his attention was called to the report sent out from Topeka that Governor Hodges and his pardon clerk, Sam Seaton, were about to par don Buck Weaver, sent to the peni tentiary over a year ago. Major Brown said that while some letters had been received favoring Weaver, the matter had not come up officially before the board of par dons and that if It did it would be turned down by the board. He said that the report was shown to Gov ernor Hodges by Mrs. Mitchner, presi dent of the state W. C. T. U. and the governor had said that he had never thought of such a thing as pardoning Weaver. Major Brown said the report that Hodges and Seaton had played ball with Weaver when they were boys to gether at O lathe was correct, but that the governor would make that a cause of pardoning Weaver was too ridiculous to talk about. "Weaver is guilty of a gross crime," said the major, "and he must take his pun ishment." WANT MORE SEED WHEAT. Logan County Itoners Have 'Sot Enough to Supply Demand. Oakley, Kan., Oct. 15. In the inter est of the Kansas Seed Wheat club, Commissioner Wolfe of Logan county spent last week in Kansas City solicit ing members to the club. He succeed ed in getting promises of $3,000 more in funds for the club. Martin Sut cliffe of Gove county was also there a part of the time. Mr. Wolfe has done some good work as a member of the Seed Wheat club for the ten west ern Kansas counties desiring seed wheat. Several cars have already been received in Logan county and Com missioner Newell has been looking after those at this end of the line while Commissioner Hinton has been looking after the Russell Springs end of the deal. Many of the western counties have called for seed wheat, but none of them seem to be willing to put any work into the game. Logan, Gove and Thomas counties are the only ones that have done anything in the line of helping the club and the rest of the counties are getting the benefit. The ground is in good shape and all of the farmers are busy getting in their seed. More wheat is needed and will probably arrive in a short time. ODD FELLOWS ELECT.

ATKINSON 1259 North Emporia Ave Wichita. Kansas. Mrs. J. O. Atkinson .of Wichita, Kansas, firmly believe that she would have been dead had it not been for Peruna and Manalin. She was very much out of sorts when her husband induced her to take these remedies. She had been sick for twenty-five years, more or less. As is usual in such cases, she was suffering from a complication of diseases. Of course a great many things had been resorted to, but it appears from the account of her case that she re ceived no particular benefit from any thing that she tried. As her husband states: "Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physi elans." Prominent among her other trou bles was chronic constipation. Con stipation is very distressing where it continues. The cnoice Detween con stipation and the continued use of physic is a very doubtful one. It was in this dilemma that Peruna found Mrs. Atkinson. She used it faithfully, according to directions, and was completely restored, not only from her constipation, but also her former ailments. This occurred some twelve or fif teen years ago, since which time we have been in constant correspondence with her, and she has continued to praise Peruna and enjoy the best of health. People who object to liquid medi cines can now obtain Peruna tablets. Adv. TO PROTECT THE GOLD New York Banker Advocates Pro vision for Export Duty. New York, Oct. 15. A novel plan for protecting the country gold supply was suggested today by John E. Gardin, vice president of the National City bank in New Tork. In an address on "Foreign Exchange Problems," before the second national conference on cur rency reform, held under the auspices of the New Tork academy of political science Mr. Gardin said the president should be empowered to proclaim an export duty on gold when necessary, to safeguard the supply. "The most serious problem confronting us today in our international relations, partic ularly in view of the pending changes in our banking system," said Mr. Gar din, "is the protection of our gold sup ply. The United States is the only ab solutely free market for gold in the world, and we have to suffer for our liberality. "If conditions are normal and ex changes are against us, it would neither be wise nor good business pol icy to place any restrictions upon the export of gold at all, but if we see that an export of metal under such circumstances would still further ag gravate conditions it would be perfect ly proper to apply the brakes, particu larly so as recent legislation has made it easier to obtain bars than formerly. We could add a premium to the cost of bars, but this premium could not be placed higher than one-fourth of one per cent, as that Is about the differ ence between bars and coined gold. This premium could be made on a slid ing scale, with a maximum of one fourth per cent. This Is about the lim it of arbitrary action. Of course all of this is predicated upon a legitimate export demand on the basis of ex change rates. "If the demand, however. Is an ar bitrary one, such as recently took place in connection with' gold ship ments to Paris, the president of the United States should be empowered to proclaim an export duty on all gold exports unless it can be shown that the export Is taking place strictly on the basis of prevailing exchange rates. This power probably would never be invoked, but it would have a deter rent effect." Cranberry Crop Spoiled. Middleboro, Mass., Oct. 15. The Plymouth country cranberry crop Is hard hit by the snow storm of yester day. Growers estimated today that fifty thousand barrels of unpicked ber ries in the bogs in this vicinity were spoiled. EIS A DANGER SIGNAL Kidney Troubles, Bladder Dis orders, Rheumatism, and Serious Disease Follow. There are other symptoms, such as pains in the region of the kidneys, nervousness, dizziness, tired and womout feeling, weak bladder, or urinary troubles, which are Just as dangerous, for the slightest kidney derangement if neglected may develop into the deadly Bright's disease, dropsy or diabetes. It Is not only dangerous, but needless, for you to suffer and endure the tortures of these troubles, for Croxone promptly ends all such misery. There Is no more effective remedy for kidney bladder trouble and rheumatism, than Croxone, because it reaches the cause. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings, cleans out the clogged up pores, neutralizes and dis solves the poisonous uric acid and waste matter, that lodge in the joints and muscles and cause those terrible rheu matic pains, and makes the kidneys filter the poison from the blood and drives it out of the system. Three doses of Croxone a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to re lieve the worst backache or overcome dis agreeable urinary disorders. You will find Croxone different from other remedies. It is so prepared that it Is practically impossible to take it with out results. An original package ef Croxone costs but a trifle, nad all drug gists are authorized to return the pur chase price if it should fail in a single case. Adv.

Bridlington, England, Oct. 15. The American balloon Goodyear, one of the contestants In the International race for the James Gordon Bennett aeronautic cup in which representa tives of eight nations started from Paris on Sunday had an adventurous journey. The balloon with R. H. Up son, pilot and Ralph A. D. Preston, aide, on board, landed near Flambor ough Head on the North sea within 200 yards of the edge of the dangerous Bompton Cliffs, which fall sheer into the sea. When the Goodyear left Paris on Sunday the weather was hazy and there was scarcely any wind. The balloon drifted across central France slowly in the direction of the English channel. The coast was reached in the neighborhood of Cherbourg at mid night Monday. The wind then freshen ed and the aeronauts sighted South ampton at 3 o'clock Tuesday. Then began a northward drift but the wind later increased to a gale and Mr. Up son decided that It was unwise to con tinue further. MOOSE RUNS THIRD.
