IT IS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE Not to "Start Anything Wlth- out the 1 Party Backing. He Is in Faror of Special House Committee. Washington, Dec. 8. President Wil son today told a delegation from the v.tinnai Amwlcaii WoiMn's Suffrage fxnml a. standing I bmwiu ,;t ta the' wnmnn'a suffrage committee m me house of representatives but he denied their request that he send a special message to congress urging the reform. Marching by twos and fours with banners afloat, the suffragists braved chill winds of a raw day to storm the White House offices. They were soon ushered into the IWennrlitt of fice and formed a circle about Mr. Wil son. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, presi dent, summarised briefly their appeal to the president to assist the move ment either by sending sage to congress, by Including refer ence to suffrage in any general message he might deliver or by using his in fluence to have a special committee ot the house appointed to consider the "U"l want you ladies, If possible.'' said the president to the delegation. if l can make it clear to you, to realize Just what my present situation is. "Whenever I walk abroad I realize that I am not a free man; I am anfla arrest. I am so carefully and admir ably guarded that I have not even the privilege of walking the streets. This is as it were, typical of my present transference, from being an idual with his mind on any and every sub ject, to being an official of a great government and incidentally, or so it falls out under our system of gov ernment, the spokesman of a party. His Rule of Conduct. "I set myself this very strict rule when I was governor of New Jersey and have followed it as president and shall follow it as president that I am not at liberty to urge on congress in messages, policies which have not had Se organirconsideration of those for whom I am spokesman. "In other words, I have not yet pre sented to any legislature" my Private views on any subject and I never shall. leeneeeieeveatrVr the whole process of government. That I shall be spokesman for somebody, not for myself, it would be an Impertinence, When I speak for myself, I am an in dividual when I am spokesman of an organic body, I am a representative. "For that reason, you see I am by my own principles shut out in the language of the street, from 'starting anything.' I have to confine myself to those things which have been em bodied as promises to the people at an election. This is the strict rule I set for myself. "I want to say that with regard to all other matters I am not only glad to be consulted by my colleagues in the two houses, but I hope they will often pay me the compliment of con sulting me when they want to know my opinion on any subject. One mem ber of the rules committee did come to me and ask me what 1 thought about this suggestion of yours of appointing a special committee of the house as the senate has already appointed a special committee for the considera tion of woman suffrage, and I told him that I thought that it was a proper thing to do, so, that, so far as my per sonal advice has been asked by a sin gle member of the committee it has been given to that effect. I. want to tell you that to show that I am strict ly living up to my principles. When my private opinion is asked by those who are co-operating with me, I am most glad to give it, but I am not at liberty until I speak for somebody be sides myself to urge legislation upon the congress." Dr. Shaw Speaks Up. There was a pause and Dr. Anna Shaw spoke up. "Hay I ask you a question?" said she. The president nodded assent. "Since we are members of no po litical party, who is to speak for us if we don't speak for ourselves?" "You do that very admirably," re marked the president, and the entire assemblage joined in a lausrh. The president thanked his visitors zor caning and said he would like to snaKe hands with them. Dr. Shaw thanked the president for his courtesy in receiving me delegation and the members filed by the president. "I come from Salt Lake City," Mrs. Lulu I Sheppard told the nrnxMont "and though my husband voted for Roosevelt, I and my daughter voted for you. so you see what woman suf- xrage can ao. "I hope you will make him a con vert," said the president. Conflicting comments were forth coming from the delegates when they lined up in front of the executive of fices to have their pictures taken, aft er the reception. Dr. Shaw expressed the view that the president's inter view was very satisfactory. "It was all that we could ask for" she said. "He is in favor of a com mittee of the house: that was our chief purpose in coming to see him." Mrs. Shaw added she was much en couraged and expected action by con gress. Some one asked Mrs. Medlll McCormlck if she had any comment to make on the president's reply. "No," said Mrs. McCormlck. "I want to think." Tsmdls Has a Rig Docket. Chicago, Dec 8.

Rains Unceasingly More Than Week Wheat Fine. -ReamsvUle, Kan., Dec. 8. It has rained steadily for eight days in Smith county. The last year has been pecu liar climatically, and "unlucky 13" Is being discussed as a cause. The spring months were unusually dusty and 1 windy, and the summer months extremely hot. Mrs. M. A. McCammon, who has lived in the county 35 years, says she never ex perienced such a long, dry, hot sum mer. But October was unusually cold and disagreeable. November, however, was pleasant until the twenty-eighth day, when rain began falling, and it has rained continuously, almost all the time since then. The wheat fields, which have been. excellent pasture until now, are too soft now to permit cattle running on them.- Grass and shrubbery have the appearance of spring. Live stock is looking- especially fine, and the pre-., diction Is made that there will be bumper crops in 1914. Over Five Inches at Sabetha. Sabetha," Kan., Dec. 8. Five and one-half -inches of rain have fallen here in six days. It has been eight days since the sun has shone. The wheat prospects were never better at this season of the year. There is very little corn in the field. Corn is being shipped from Iowa and sold, to the farmers at 74 cents per bushel. Eight Days Without Sun. Gralnfleld, Kan., Dec 8. For eight days the people of this county have not seen the sun. Not in thirty years has there been as much moisture in the' ground at this time, of the year. There have been rains at intervals for the last eight days, but for the last 33 hours there has been a steady down pour. There are thirty thousand acres tributary to Grainfield sown to wheat and it is in fine shape. Hill City Gets Soaker. Hill City. Kan.. Dec. 8. The great est rain in many months began falling here November 29, and it has rained more than a week without ceasing.

Prospects are fine here fori a good year. I Nearly S Inches of Rain at Wakeeney. Wakeeney, Dec 8. Almost three inches of rain has fallen here in the last twenty-four hours, making a to tal of five and one-half inches in the last two weeks, and we have had less than an hour of sunshine since Thanksgiving.

President Wilson told callers today that the United States did not wish to estab lish a protectorate over any country of Central America or over any other part of the globe. Published reports that the United States contemplated a new and far-i caching policy with re spect to Central America, especially Nicaragua, brought a prompt denial from the White House. The president denied that there was any new de velopment in the Nlcaraguan treaty situation which still is in. the state of negotiation. 7 o'clock .....23 11 o'clock 8 o'clock 25 12 o'clock o'clock 25 1 o'clock 10 o'clock 28 2 o'clock 3 o'clock HE FIXEV PRICES Villa Orders All merchants in Northern Mexico To Make No Advance Because of the War.' if the ruiE is EisaifED'lLL TRACE rLOST He Will Confiscate Their En tire Stock in Trade. Is Patrolling Territory From Juarez to Chihuahua. Juarez. Dec 8. As a means of plac ing the rebel territory on a normal basis. General Francisco Villa today issued an order that all foodstuffs shall be sold at prices usually obtained in times of peace. Stores in Chihuahua and other rebel cities are required to sell goods at prices named by Villa. The rebel leader said that If merchants attempted to ask higher prices owing to the war -he would confiscate their property. Train 'loads of provisions are to be shipped from Juarez to the almost fam ished citizens of Chihuahua. The food stuffs are to be sold at cost price un til the merchants are able to replenish their stocks after the reopening of the railroad. Unless the federal troops, who deserted Chihuahua unexpectedly, turn up and resort to guerrilla war fare, tie northern part of Mexico will assume a semblance of peace through the opening of the railroads. Villa has been on the alert for a possible attack by federals but his pa trol of the 225 miles from Juarez to Chihhuahua has been in the nature of precaution. It was reported that Luis Perrazas, the wealthy land owner, had paid to have the federal army escort himself and other civilians to the bor der and that the federals, after reach ing the border might attempt to re treat to the state of Nuevo Leon. Expecting a Fight. Mexico City, Dec. 8. A battle be tween the federal troops under General Joaquin Maas, former governor of Pu ebla, and the rebel army commanded by General Candido Aguilar, Is expect ed within a few days somewhere north of Tuxpam. War office advices today report a general advance from Tuxpam of a column of federals said to num ber 1,800 men. The rebels are known to be concentrated near the town of Tamiahua, north of Tuxpam and ap pear to be preparing to- resist the fed erals: wtm men. v-., f-i IT WILL BE VArOR Rising Temperatures Are Predicted for the Middle West. Washington. Dec. 8. Real winter weather will prevail over most of the country during the coming week. "The week will open with low tem peratures, probably the lowest of the present season," the weather bureau's weekly bulletin says, "over the interior districts east of the Rocky mountains and with frost, to the middle gulf of Mexico coast: During Monday night the cold weather will extend to the At lantic coast and rather low tempera ture will probably continue over the eastern portion of the country until late in the week. Over the extreme west temperatures will rise early la the week, and by the middle of the week it will be somewhat warmer over the central west. It will be colder during the second half of the week over the northwest and by the end of the week over the north central portion of the country. "There will be snow today from the lake region eastward with high winds but present pressure distribution does not indicate any other precipitation of consequence over the east, south and southwest. Rains will probably set in today over the north Pacific states and they will cover the middle and northern districts west of the Rocky mountains by Tuesday or Wednesday and will ex tend mostly as local snows Into the northwest, A little later in the week snows or rains will extend Into the upper Mississippi valley and the lake region, reaching; the lower lake region toward the end of the week." MRS. PAIIKIIUIIST OUT Her Hunger Strike Wins Her Free dom in Three Days. London. Dec 8. Mrs. Emmeline Fankhurst, the suffragette leader who was arrested at Plymouth Dec 4, on her arrival from the United States f aboard the steamer Majestic was re- leased from the Exeter Jail at 10 o'clock last night. Mrs. Fankhurst began a hunger and thirst strike 1m- j mediately. Mrs. Fankhurst was driv en to a hotel. She appeared very weak and immediately retired to bed j in charge of a nurse. Mrs. Fank hurst is liberated on seven days' 11- j cense. She intends to proceed to Lon- don at the earliest possible moment. I Not anticipating the early release of their leader, suffragettes gathered at the Empress theater. Earl s court, to protest against the Imprisonment of Mrs. Fankhurst. "General" Mrs. Flora Drummond, In the course of a speech denouncing the government, exclaimed: "Here and now we swear that nev er again will the government get Mrs. Fankhurst. We shall organize a bodyguard which will even face bat tleships." A resolution demanding the Instant release of Mrs.. Fankhurst was car ried with enthusiasm, but as the meeting was dispersing the news of her liberation was announced and was greeted with prolonged cheers. Several large donations to the cause were made, amounting In all to 50, 000. This amount Includes $22,600, the proceeds of Mrs. Pankhurst's American tour... Welcomed to fjondon. London. Dec 8. Suffragettes gather iered In force to welcome Mrs. Fmme- line Pankhurst ett her arrival today from Exeter.

She was taken to a nursing home at the bead of a kng procession of taxicabs containing her cheering supporters. Girl 2S Years Old Disappears in Mysterious Manner. All' the Police in New York Looking for Her. New York, Dec 8. Every police man in Greater' New York had in structions today to look out for Miss Jessie McCann, the 2 3 -year-old daughter of Robert McCann. a wealthy wholesale grocer, who- disap peared last Thursday as .mysteriously as did Dorothy Arnold. She left home Thursday morning ostensibly to go to a home for destitute children where she did volunteer work as an instruc tor. Since that time all trace of her has been lost, although a friend of the family reported today, having seen a girl answering her description In Wall street Friday night. To him she ap peared dazed. The girl's father la a personal friend of Mayor Kline and has appealed to the mayor to expe dite the police search. "I am positive there Is no romantic reason back of Jessie's disappear ance," he said. "Had. there been she certainly would have sent us some word before this, because she would have known how- terrible our anxiety would be, and it certainly would not be characteristic of my daughter to cause her family any -suffering. "On the other hand she has never suffered In the least from any mental or nervous trouble, and the. Idea that she became ill and wandered away unwittingly does not seem to have the slightest fact to bear it out." wo:.!EFDiiiY it Real Heads of the Suffrage Or ganization Have Nothing to Bo "With New Party W New overaeni. ;$iJ-..i.J- ...A meeting either Educational de partments pf..f he Kansas Citizenship league, .an organization which is the successor of the Kansas- Equal Suf frage association, under the direction of which-the franchise was won tot Kansas women, had a meeting in To peka Saturday afternoon. The women who attended the meeting were: Mrs. Genevieve Chalkley, president of the league, Mrs. Mary Cowper and Dr. Al berta Corbin, all of Lawrence, Miss Mary Dobbs of Wichita. Miss Vesta Heath of Kansas City, Mrs. W. A. Johnston of Topeka. In an Interview following the meet ing, the women declared their inten- i tlon to work In harmony with the i men of the state for good laws. Mrs. I Chalkley said: "We have no Idea of I forming a woman s party, nor can we I affiliate as a body with any political organization, but we are willing to work with all men and women who I are interested In good legislation." "We do not consider." said Mrs. I Johnston, ."that the women of the state have any monopoly on good in tentions, and we are not trying to coerce the men of any party into ac ceptance of our views. We realize that the legislators have many meaa- ures to consider that are not espec I lally championed by the women, and naturally the things that are of prime interest to us, cannot be expected to occupy them to the exclusion.of every thing else. I "Is your organization Joining In the work of the political conference of t women lately organized?" Mrs. Chalk I ley was asked. I "Our organization has no appointed representative there. That, I under- sum a, was an affair or a local club to which outside women were Invited. Our organization is state wide, and Includes men In Its membership."

The Rock Island spent most of the day Sunday pushing snow plows through the district between Phillipsburg, Kan., and Union, Colo. This road uses the Union Pacific between Umon and Denver. The Union Pacific was able to clear the tracks by 2 o'clock this morning and trains are coming this way today. The eastbound trains over the Rock Island and Union Pacific which will ar rive in Topeka this evening will be the first since Friday of last week.

Kansas Democrats will hold a mass convention in Topeka February 22. Washington's birthday, to iron out their party differences and submit to the voters a tentative party platform for 1914, if the plans of Representa tive Taylor Riddle of Marlon are adopted. Riddle would conclude the conference with a big dinner at 11 a plate. The plan of the Marion man will call for two Democratic state gather ings this winter. Tickets are now on sale for the big Bryan dinner in To peka January 5. Nearly 2,000 Demo crats are expected to attend the Janu ary banquet, which is to take the place of the regular annual Demo cratic dinner formerly held February 22. Riddle, however, does not want to give up the February date and would hold a mass convention in Topeka on that date and serve a dollar dinner to the party workers who come to make plans for the future Iron Out Party Differences. "We need a state wide conference or convention to put things in shape for the next campaign," said Riddle. "If there Is any faction difference in the party in this state. It can be straightened out at the conference easier than at any other time. "I would not only favor an adjust ment of any differences at this meet ing, but I think it would be wise to submit to the voters a. tentative plat- rorm ior tne coming camoaiKn. The regular platfcrm, of course, would be written by the party council in Au gust. Hundreds of Democrats would come to Topeka for the conference, I believe, and every man and woman who attended would have an equal voice th adopting the platform which would serve as a sort of declaration of principles. We could conclude the conference with a big dollar-a-plate oanquei. Discuss Party Candidates. One of the things which Riddle re gards as most important and should be given attention 'by the mass con vention Is the question of candidates. Perhaps inch a move would prove an opening wedge to all manner of trou ble, but Riddle is willing to tackle the job and wants the Democratic leaders to join with him in a sort of elimina tion program. "For one thing," said Riddle, "there is the prospect that there will be altogether too many Democratic candidates for some of the other offices.- We ought to get together on this matter and take some action that will save us possible trouble both be fore and after the primaries are held In August." The Riddle plan will be submitted to officers of the Democratic club, but It Is hardly probable that any definite action will be taken until after the Bryan meeting in January. White Endorses Foley. William Allen White, one of the few Kansas editors who criticised the appointment by President Wilson of Henderson Martin as vice governor of the Philippines, says all manner of nice things about. Governor Hodges' appointment of C. F. Foley of Lyons as Martin's successor on the public utilities commission. Foley's appoint ment, says White, is the strongest that the Democratic governor has made. White's paper, the Emporia Ga zette, contained the following en dorsement of the Foley appointment: "The appointment of Charles F. Foley of Lyons to be a member of the state public utilities commission is by odds! the best appointment Governor Hodges has made during his admin istration. Mr. Foley has lived for a third- of a century in Kansas. He went to the State university in the eighties in the days when Scott and the Gleeds and Ed Little and Scott Hop kins and Fred Stocks attended and he has been county attorney of his home county twice, a member of the legislature, and for' four years a mem ber of the board of regents of the State university. "He, as much- as any other Demo crat, and probably more than any oth er Democrat, is responisble for the passage of the primary law. F.or In a a critical time, when the passage of the law was in danger. Mr. Foley ad vised the Democrats in the legislature that they, could well afford to lose a party advantage, vote for 'the law when their votes passed the law, even if they lost an issue. He advised his fellow Democrats to be better citizens than Democrats. As a result, he has been honored by the Stubbs adminis tration whenever Stubbs could find a place that Mr. Foley would take. Mr. Foley declined a place on the state tax commission,- and when the board of administration for educational insti tutions was passed three years ago, before he vetoed the bill, and while he was scouring Kansas to find big enough men for the Job, Stubbs offer ed the place to Mr. Foley. Mr. Foley frankly said he did not feel that be was a large enough man for the Job. "Mr. Foley Is a painstaking lawyer, a public spirited citizen. andV a con scientious man. He is anything but a partisan Democrat. He will feel a bit lonely in the state house." -1 Dudley Doolittle, Fourth district con gressman, expects the present regular session of congress to extend well Into next summer, according to a statement which be made, before returning to Washington. He expects' congress to take definite action on his farm loan bill at this session and anticipates fa vorable action soon on the currency bill and anti-trust legislation. Doolittle'a mother accompanied him to Washington for. the present session.

The multi-millionaire was 70 years old. Death resulted from a complication of diseases which developed after two falls. About two years ago Mr. Ward slipped on the running board of an automobile at Pasadena, CaL. and broke one arm and a shoulder blade. These injuries forced him to forego all outdoor amusements and confined him largely to his home. Six weeks ago Mr. Ward fell In his home and fractured his right hip.

Later he entered a Wholesale dry goods house and then became traveling salesman for Walter m. smith Company of St. Louis.

Ward returned to Chicago to accept an executive position with a dry goods firm, which he helped re organize after the fire of 1871. His dream of a store which would elimi nate the middleman grew on him and he resigned to found his company. It was organized as a partnership with George R. Thome, his brother-in-law. The company's first quarters were over a stable and the staff consisted of one clerk and the partners.'' The firm grew until on January 1 of this year it was reorganized and incorporated in New York' for $40, 000,000. The comnanv does Z40.0O0.. 000 worth of business a year, one of its vice presiaents said. Mr. Ward's efforts to nrevent th erection of buildings in Grant park won for him the name of "The Watch Dog of the Lake Front." At one time there were forty-six projects for buildings on the park east of Michi gan avenue under way. Mr. Ward wanted to-sae for the people a cen tral park and fought these projects in the face of general opposition. Two years ago the supreme court handed down a decision prohibiting erection of buildings on the lake front. OiXY SIX FAILED Report on Oneratlona of ViMmi Banks for the Tear. Washington. Dec. s.

More than 89,000.000 for the Mississippi river.' almost 80.000,000 for the Ohio river, more than 82.000.000 tor the Missouri, river, almost 82.000.000 for the Colum- bla river and 81,000,000 for the Dela ware river are the amounts considered necessary by the chief of engineers of the army for the improvement and maintenance of these great waterways during the fiscal year of 1815. In submitting to the secretary of war his report, made public today, the chief engineer makes estimates segregating $41,488,895 to be appUed to 261 river and harbor projects dur ing the year ending June 20. 1915. This is 89.134.994 less than the amount appropriated by congress for river and harbor works for the fiscal year of 1914. "Liberal appropriations are consid ered proper and desirable for snag ging and other work necessary to make natural channels available wherever water-borne commerce exists 1 or Is reasonably prospective," says the chief of engineers. "It is believed that expenditures-for such improve ments are almost always useful and advantageous to the general public, especially since the introduction and rapid development of small gasoline motor boats for combined freight and passenger transportation."

And It would be Interesting- to know how th Mexicans pronounce the name O'Shaughnessy: It may not be as easy to figure out what to do with General Huerta alter he Is out as tu set 11m out. Patrick Boyle, just elected mayor for his sixteenth term, might well be called the Porflrlo Bias of Newport, B, I. Th Progressiv party has been presented with a magnificent Argen tine horse by the Buenos Aires Eques trian society. Lord Cowdray, who has those big concessions In Mexico, is said to be an accomplished linguist. Well. money talks. It makes it pleasanter all around to have the suffragists feel free to move on congress without chaining them selves to the railings. Considering the amount of current It produces, it would seem hardly necessary to spend public money 11' lumlnating Niagara Falls. Considering everything, the candl dates for congress who failed to be elected are probably less sorry now than they were last March. t At least Mrs. Pankhurst took back with her enough of the sinews of war to enable her to fill every mail box in Great Britain with acid. r-t. -II The popular and conscientious man is the one who has already received by mall a package labeled: "Not to be opened until Christmas."

If the parcel post, the new 'tariff law and the currency law fail to re duce the high cost of living, perhaps It may occur, to Uncle Sam that he ought to produce more food. Why don't the Maine guides adopt something like the expedient of the Pennsylvania farmer who has hung .signs on some of his cattle reading: "Don't shoot me; I am a cow." An eastern paper has raised the question: "How many buckwheat cakes can a man eat with Impunity?" But most, folk probably prefer to eat them with maple syrup or honey.

It Is so hard for well people to make a living that th casual thinker will not believe it possible for sick men to work- effectively and without harm. When the Invalid Is .poor we perforin but the natural part of charity If we give him medical treatment and save him from the necessity of work. Tet experience ha shown that In many chronic illnesses effective and remuner- attv work may be accomplished with physical and moral benefit to the work ers. In a recent Issue of The Jour nal of th American Medical Associa tion, Dr. Herbert J. Hall of Marble- head, Mass., discusses this question and reviews the efforts that are being made to help the invalid to-become self-supporting. We do not have to search long for suggestive examples of work among handicapped people Th blind: have thriving industries, the cripple schools have for a long time been engaged In teaching their pupils trades adapted to severe limitations. On of the most re freshing activities of modern lnstitu tlonal life is to be found In th schools for feeble-minded such as that at Wav- erly, Mass., where, under Dr. Fern aid. there Is an effective system manned al most wholly by patient who In the old days woud have been Idle. In the in' sane hospitals all over th world the patients are more and more, generally given work to do in connection with the farms and households, and lately tn workshops lilte that of Dr. Tuttle at the McLean Hospital In Waverly and at the Hans Scbonow under Dr. Laehr in Ber lin. Besides all this activity In char itable or seml-charitabl Institutions, there has of late years been a remark ably effective use of modified work as a remedy- In th sanltoriuma. for the treatment of nervous exhaustion among people of means who have overworked and overworrled or who are suffering from th effects of too much Idleness. These industrial experiments have all been so hopeful in the results, so bene ficial to the workers and so surpris ingly productive that it seems almost certain that Important developments may bo expected from outpatient In dustries. In sanltorium work with nervously exhausted patients, it has been found that among persons of education, and taste the ancient handicrafts offer a most Interesting and profitable means of remaining strength. Some modifica tion of this crafts-work system will be easily available for hospital shops. Crafts work is a vague term and may be easily misunderstood. It means, generally speaking, work by hand In stead of by machine, and it Includes almost any useful and ornamental product, from a rug to a coal scuttle The Important difference Is that the crafts work at its best is confined to products that can be made better by hand. The world Is beginning to ap preciate that a great many articles of daily use are best produced in this slow way. It is true that the. finest work of the craftsman, the goldsmlthery and silversmithery, th wonderful-dyes and weaves that .make Inimitable fabrics. can be done only by highly trained workers. But there is an enormous mass of routine and preparatory work in the crafts, and this work can' be done per fectly well by handicapped persons if they are carefully directed and con trolled. Men are thrown out of employment for very trivial reasons it does not follow that they are good for nothing because they fall to fit the particular Job they happened to find available. The new system will gather up these sick and discarded workers and adapt them to work which win be graded and con trolled to meet any degree of handi cap. There win oe some- agreeaDie sur prises for those who bring this plan to pass. Many a woman considered unfit by the great industries, many a man injured or worn out by the grind of the factories, will prove to- be highly efficient under' conditions that are slightly altered to meet the especial need. The. wasteful" policy of the reg ular industries may or may not be nec essary, but It Is likely to necessitate a secondary system of labor. Some day it will be impossible for society to sup port the number of sick and idle; then the new system will come in earnest Hospital workshops of varied kinds may become nearly or quite self-supporting. Hand-weaving, metal-working, wood-wood-carving, leather-working, pottery, basket-weaving, ajd cement-working have all been tried. ;i Last year five persons wosklng In the pottery established by an Eastern hos pital made and sold six thousand dol lars' worth of pottery. Th money val ue of handicapped labor, has been dem onstrated again and again In institu tional life. Last summer a small group of men patients at th Stat Colony In Gardner, Mass.. produced forty thous and dollars' worth of supplies from the hospital farm. On th Pacific coast, within the past two years has been es tablished a pottery in connection with a hospital In which, under expert guid ance, a group of convalescent tubercu losis girls are paying their expenses a dollar a day while they are under sanatorium treatment. W are begin ning to see the possibilities of a prin ciple, which, given systematic applica tion, may change the face of charit able affairs, a principle which may be expected to restore many discouraged and enfeebled workers to full efficiency. There are many trades and crafts which may be adapted to this purpose There are pathetic limitations to such a plan and many a wyilng worker could not succeed: but Is evident that a great deal may be accomplished in helping to make th chronic invalid. and. the half-sick person self-supporting. ANOTHER D? TO BASEBALL. Mr.-A-'Ck SpaldW h discover an explanation for American victories in our extraordinary Interest In' base? ball. He says. In th World's Work for December: "I believe the secret of our success Is to be found In the kind of training that comes with the playing of America's national gam, and 'our competitors' in other lands may nvr nop to roach th standard of American athletes until they adopt our pastime.' "The question, "When should th training of a child begin?' has been wisely answered by the statement that it should antedate hUP'blrfh.. Th training; of baseball may not go hack quite that far, but it approaches the time as nearly as practicable, for America starts training of future Olympic winners very early In life. Youngsters not yet big enough to at tend school -begin quickening their eyesight and sharpening their -wits and strengthening their hands and arms and togs by. playing on baseball fields ready at hand te the meadows of farms, the commons of viifages and th parks of cities all over the land. Baseball combines running, Jumping, throwing and everything that constitutes the athletic events of the Olympian games. But, above all, it Imparts to the player that degree of confidence in competition, that Inde finable something that enables one athlete to win over another who may be his physical equal but who Is lack ing th American spirit, begotten of baseball." JOURNAL ENTRIES JUst because a thing is cheap It isn't necessarily a bargain.

Tou will note, remarks the Ottawa Herald, that after a man has been held up, he invariably reports that the highwayman was "a big fellow." The Altoona Tribune tells of a. min ister who told a boy that he must be born again, but the boy didn't want to be born again, "for fear of being born a girl." Many a good woman, savs Mias Carlson of the Lindsborg News, looks as if she were -suffering from a broken neart wnen in reality it is only a case of too small shoes. As the Florence Bulletin suggests, a cheery greeting, a pleasant smile, a wora or encouragement may do won ders toward helping a fellow 'being over, the rough places of life. As the Solomon Tribune says: An empty orain ana a tattling tongue are very apt- to go together. The... most silly and trivial items news or scandal flu the former and are retail ed by the latter. In spite of the high prices being paid ior all kinds or agricultural prod uce, points out the Winfield Courier, there are still millions of young men willing to work for 12 a day orovided they can wear white cuffs and a oiled shirt.

Herbert Randall, in the Hartford Mr. Mudge, rtnfcer. By Jane Osbom.) Mr. Mudge sat working over his drawing board with his coat collar turned up and his feet -tapping th floor in an effort to keep -warm. A lusty wind blew outside and drove stray flakes of snow through the crevices of Mr. Mudge's one window. For th fifth time -that morning he went over to his radiator and, kneeling down, felt each Individual pipe in search of the welcome glow of heat that should have been there, and tor the fifth .time he felt only the cold metaL Then he made a surorislnr discovery. He had only half a radiator, the other half was in the next studio, and the partition that made two small -rooms out of what was originally one had di vided the radiator in two. 'Unfortu nately for Mr. Mudge. he did not pos sess the end that turned on. He crouched down and looked through the space where tbe partition did not fit close to the pipes and saw a few glimpses of ferns, rugs and hangings that convinced him that the 'next room waa tenanted. Mr. Mudge didn't stop to smooth down his straw colored .hair, and he didn't stop to adjust his bow tie. which had reversed its normal attitude in his interview with the radiator. He didn t stop to put on his cuffs nor to take off his working coat, nor even to take his odoriferous pipe out of his mouth. A rather Indifferent "Come" in, please," answered, his rappings at the aoor, and he entered a room as com fortably furnished and warm as his own was bare and cold. The owner sat over her desk and -took only, a quick look at the man. -"How is your radiator working?" he asked. The girl smiled without looking at htm. "Quite satisfactory." she assured him coolly, and then Mr. Mudge, who tnough not of a very sociable disposi tion, usually felt at ease wherever he happened to be. went. over to the radi ator and examined It i "Tou needn't touch it." She told him. "It is warm enough in here, isn't it? I thought maybe the radiator wasn't turned on. Tou don't mind if I let a little more through to the other end, do you?" The young woman was engrossed in her reading. "Really it is quite satis factory," she said. "Please let it alone" Mr. Mudge made a few remarks about the extreme cold and the. workings of radiators, but the young woman did not seem to be interested. would nave sent for the agent if X had Wanted to have it dickered with," she said curtly. Mr. Mudge blinked at her from his 'position o the floor by the side of the radiator f stayed long enough to warm his hands ,anq then went out, still unnoticed.- Back-in his cheerless room he thought if ovor.- "She looked agreeable enough,! he thought to him self, "but for cold..-- 'unadulterated squelch, for a frost that would -congeal the last spark of hope, she takes the blue ribbon." For days Mr. Mudge went on working in the cold, cheerless office. Then he bought an oil stove, which he burned when he was not too busy, or too ab sorbed, or too lazy to. light it. It never occurred to him to complain to the agent about the lack of heat in his room. There was a tone of finalJtv in the words of hi haughty neighbor that put this idea out of his mind. He met her again at the studio of a mutual artist friend in the same .build ing, who asked Mr. Mudge to come In for a cup of tea. Mr. Mudge. who did not car much for sociability, went only because it was a cold day and the: tea party suggested a way to get warm. He found- Miss Thlslow that was the name of the cold hearted neighbor ana ne was horned over to her sid-j ana Introduced to her as a sort of specialty, people always did, for some reason that Mr. Mudge couldn't make out. regard him as a highly desirable social asret. He had a homely way of .telling the trutn and a discerning sympathy for other people's points of view that made people seek him out in a crowd. Miss Thlslow this time gav him her undi vided attention, and Mr. Mudge told her. to begin with, that his studio ad Joined hers. "I call mine an office," -he said, "be cause it ia tiie place Where I earn my daily bread, making pictures for other people to laugn at, out I judge rom what I have seen of you that you call yours a studio besides. yours looks like a studio and mine doesn't." "When have you seen mine?" she asked. "Tou can't see much through the chinks." Mudge did not answer her question, so she went on to tell him that her little studio was only a hobby. She really didn't do much painting or drawing it was Just a headquarters for her when she came to the city -a quiet spot where her brothers and sis' tors couldn't disturb her. tihe begged Mr. Mudge so Insistently and Mudge found her entreaties so ef fective that he told her,, though he hadn't Intended-to. where he had mt her before. "Why," gasped the girl. "I thought that-, was a. plumber. Xou certainly looked like a mechanic, and they are so annoying the way they keep coming In to tinker th pipes and things." "Ton were certainly not very kind, whoever I was," said Mudge. Mr. Mudge and Miss Thlslow,' by mutual tacit consent, saw much Of each other after that, and Miss Thlslow not only turned on the radiator full Mast, but she invited Mr. Mudge to come to her studio whenever he chose and share her tea and cheerful decorations. "Anyhow, Miss Thlslow," Mr. Mudge told her one day after he bad explained with .characteristic, honesty that, h found her fascinating, and at the aaune time a distraction and a comfort, "any how..

COST OF BOUND-ART LINE. The cost of putting a mark on a map, in the Balkan country, ta so vast that thinking people wonder why we are not farther away from barbarism. Th cost is In lives and in money. And the reason for this terrible coat in human life and In property Is the result of a controversy about whore d.lvldln ,m between nations shall tie. It Is stated that a half mil-' Uon men. In the Balkans, were either killed or wounded or died of fllsosss in the war with Turkey and th won war between the Balkan neighbors that followed. The cost, in money, to these nations, was a billion and a Quarter dollar. AnA alt compliahed was the slight shifting of a boundary line that will have to have uiiuinr u miuro snirxs Doiore any settlement can be reached. Is It a cause for wonder that sane people are thinking over the proposition of Winston Churchill, the British states-' man, to declare a naval holiday and to teach people to think more of peace and less of war? Hutchinson News. f t FROM OTHER PENS OIL IN MBXICO. An Interesting report of the United states geographical survey on oil produc tion in Mexico says that th business reached large proportions only about the time the Madera rmrnlnHnn t.... t W07 the total output waa only about 1.000, barrels land brlMO It had increased JJSi'0 Tht wa the year In which tbe Madero revolution began. The J?!!0.wJSvyear the oU output Increased to !.6M00 barrels and last year It waa M. 668.000 barrels. The report confirms tbe statement that the Standard Oil company has been very little interested In Mexico durina the last two veara. It aava that per cent of the Mexican oil waa handled oy iimj uoneny interests oi tne United States, said to have headquarters in Cali fornia, and the Pearson syndicate, headed by Lord Cowdry. The Waters-Pierce company figures In the report principally as a purchaser from the producing com panies. The business centers around the port of Tuxpan, where one United State warsnip is now stationed and wnitner others nave been ordered. The adminis tration's Idea that investors in a foreign expect protection from their government appears to apply only to American, and not to foreign, investors. Probably it re ceived a diplomatic hint that .the United States must protect British Interests or permit Great Britain to protect them Itself. The report of the survey as to the sudden growth of the Industry in 1911 snd Its concentration largely In the hands of the Pearson syndicate tends to bear out the story that a short time before his forced resignation Porflrle Dlas turned over most of the oil business of the coun try to the Pearsons, excluding the Stand ard. If tbe Standard had any hopes of be ing able to do business in Mexico, they wouia naturally nra ucuuou u m change of government. According to the New Tork Sun, a Standard representative already has bought from Carransa a con cession for a pipe line in Sonora. That. -however, is very remote from the field which the British syndicate Is working. According to a San Francisco dispatch, two of the principal oil companies In Cali fornia have been taken -over by a British) syndicate Which is planning to transport the oil through the Panama canal to European markets. This may not have any connection with Mexican affairs, but It looks aa If tbe Brltlah .oil mn had be gun to encroach strongly on the field which the Americans hitherto have re garded as their own.

In an address delivered at Manhattan yesterday, as a part of the Elk memor ial exercises in that city, Justice Henry F, Mason took as his text the variant sentiments regarding the question of immortality as expressed by the great writers whose thoughts have been pre served In prose and verse, and drew the lesson that to some extent the con flicting opinions were the result of a difference in mental attitude; and that this difference, more apparent than real frequently depended upon the reader's interpretation of the language em ployed. t The same words may have a different meaning to different authors, and may give to one reader a different impres sion irom inai given-to anoiaer. x ne effusive man expresses his good will by profuse cordiality., The reticent roan may mean as much by his grudging monosyllables. One clergyman defines his task as saving human souls; an other as upbuilding- human character; and perhaps they mean essentially the same thing. While the Elk order Is not a religious body. Judge Mason emphasized the point that its creed contains many of the principles of brotherhood and fra ternity upon which every religious sect Is founded. The Elk is not censorious. He concedes to every man the right of opinion. He is, tolerant. Perhaps a better word than "toleration" to ex press this Elk idea is "Charity," used In its broader sense as descriptive of a frame of mind. "But -by constant use,' said Judge Mason, "we have so associated charity with the relief of distress the giving of alma, that this has become its pri mary meaning. This consideration led the revisers of the New Testament to change the time-hallowed verse: 'And now abideth Faith. Hope and Charity, these three; but the greatest of these Is Charity,' and to substitute for It, 'And now abideth Faith, Hope and Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.' I venture the prediction that this new version will not endure. Properly understood the word love is entirely appropriate. But it, likewise, by force of custom, carries a special meaning. It has a wide diversity of uses, but it suggests sentiment, If not sentimentality. It is not well suited to the practical commonplaces of every day life. "We don't need to love a man, in the sense In which the word is ordinarily used, in order to acknowledge that he has the same right to his opinions that we have to ours. Whatever you may call that spirit, it Is to be found here in the ritual of the order. It Is not a religion or a substitute for a religion, but it has a Just a place In every code which attempts to define the duties of men toward one another. "The philosophy of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is essen tially practical. It seeks to deal with the things of this world. It declines to view our life here as of little con sequence or as a vale of tears. It realizes that there need be no more beatlnc heaven than this world might be if all conformed to the teachings of the founder of Christianity; .that no perdition could be more desolute than this world if human nature were al ways at its worst. "The spirit of the Elks order is op timistic. It looks on the bright side. It seeks the lessons of life not In the remote days of some far-off, land. It reads the wisdom and goodness and mercy of an all-powerful Father, not merely In miracles wrought in ancient times, but In every opening flower, in every returning springtime, in every manifestations of the divine law that governs the universe. It believes that the best preparation for a world to come Is a constant striving to make this world brighter, better and happier." si::oxs ins hearers Vial tine Preacher Gives St. Louis Con. grecatlon a Jolt, 1 St. Louis, Dec. 8.

FLAYS LIKE CIIAWJ Bob Peebles Startles Oklahomans on K Golf Bob Peebles has returned from Ok lahoma, wtfcerehe played a. number of exhibition' games, of golf. In playing, the trip, he broke records on every course and did his best playing in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. At Tulsa in playing the practice rounds, he made the first nine holes In 39 and the second round in 86, making a total of 75, thereby beating the course record by two. Later Monday he again lowered the course record by playing the first round in 37 and the second in SB, thereby lower ing the course record to 72, which was four be'ow par. He was playing low ball with Arthur Jackson, a profes sional, against C. Kemp and Frank Moore, two of the best amateur play ers of the club. This shows that he playes five holes under the course record. At Oklahoma City he played the first 18 holes at par in the morning and the second 18 holes in the after noon at one under par. This shows remarkable playing. The first rounds at Tulsa were played under the most unpleasant weather conditions. Rain was falling and the greens were under water. He im proved his playing the following Mon day, after the links had been given, a chance to dry. FLANS A CRUSADE Author of "Kedllght"' Law Is In St. Louis on Business. St. Louis, Dec 8. John B.

Dec 8. Three games for the 1914 football schedule, which is now in the making, are practically certain for the University of Nebras ka. These contests are with Minne sota at Minneapolis; Iowa at Iowa City and Ames at Lincodn. The. re port prevails that one other big West ern eleven is to be met away from, home. i The HaskeU Indians will be dropped from the Cornhusker sched ule for the coming year. There is nothing for the Nebraskans to gain by beating the Indiana.-and .there is everything to lose. The schedule thus demands that some big games at home be played and it Is this to which Coach Stiehm is directing his atten tion. j f.-- f.. Kansas is the only other school for the 1913 schedule to be disposed of for 1914. and what will be done with the Jayhawkers is hot known.-;. It may be that the date for the contest for the Kansas game will be shoved up earlier in the season or the Kan sans may be dropped entirely. v SUGGEST OWENS AS COACH.

Called Manager's Daughter Victoria Spirit of Victory. Lawrence, Dec 8. Victoria- the spirit of victory was the name which the members of the HaskeU Indian football team gave to the month-old daughter of Mr and Mrs. A. M. Venne. It was a hard task for the Indians to find a suitable name for the baby and they almost gave up in despair, but spurred on by the honor they had won and suggestions from the Indian co-eds at the institute, the men chose the name "Victoria." FootbaU teams seldom name babies, but in this Instance Manager Venne thought that the men were entitled to the privilege and put his rights as the father aside. On Nov. 8 when the HaskeU team was in Omaha playing Creighton col lege the players were told that they could name the baby. In the inter mission of the 'game a panting mes senger came with a telegram for Mr. Venne, manager of the Indian team, to the effect that an eight-pound baby girl had Just been born to Mrs. Venne at Lawrence, and that both mother and baby were well. The Indians were sitting In council of war on the sidelines of Creighton field when Mr. Venne opened the tele gram. He read it to them and -then exclaimed: "Boys, If you w-u win this game IU let you name my baby girl. Will yon do it?" The players shouted their answer and went into the game with a ven geance in the second half, winning- by a 7 to 0 score and gaining the priv ilege of naming little Miss Venne.

The brief formal announcement of Judge Smith is as follows "Believing, from the comments of the press of this state and other states and from the expressions of individuals, that the supreme court of Kansas, as now con stituted, has met the approval of the pub lic generally and that I have been accord ed a fair portiono f the credit therefor, I am a candidate for renomination. "By the consensus of opinion in this and the other states of the union, as well as Europe, experience is regarded as espec ially valuable in the' discharge of judicial duties. Stability in the courts of last re sort is also favored as tending to uniform construction of and certainty In the law. I submit my candidacy to the women as well as the men electors of the state, 're gardless of party affiliations, in accord ance with the spirit of the law known as the Non-partisan Judiciary Act (Chap ter 13 of the Laws of 19U.)"

I "I want to say to you in the begin-' nlng that that splendid list of patriots who have with longing hearts so ear-, neatly looked forward to a 'vacancy in the important office recently vacated by you are not the only citizens of i this great state that nan with joy and j pride your departure for those distant islands at the command; of one of the best presidents who has ever Dreeided over the destiny of our great nation. A united Kansas press, regardless of political affiliations, commend with one accord and with unanimous com pliments the splendid -foresight which guided our president-to the prairies of Kansas to seek out a -vice governor to perform such a responsible and. im portant duty In the rule ef a people whose guidance and government were, forced upon us by the arbitrament of Spanish war. And believe me, this western search for executive timber Is not so unanimously commended in your great state because Kansas is the place to find men who are accustomed to and therefore qualified to rule over a half civilized people! but because Kansas has made a world-wide repu tation by producing such an able and accomplished ruler as the gentleman who selected you to grace the most important office in the gift of his ad ministration. "You are so unanimously congratu lated in this hour, sir, not because in all the years of your political career you have repeatedly gone down In disastrous and overwhelming defeat whenever you have asked for the vote of the people in order that you might taste the luxury of official life, but because you stood steadfast, faithfully fighting the battles of your party through victory and ."through defeat until you behold that party enthroned in both legislative and executive de partments of the national govern ment, with a, president in whose con fidence "you are so thoroughly en trenched that .you no longer need be seech your fellow Citizens for votes in order to walk into the' vice command of the Philippine Islands to the tune of fifteen thousand five, hundred gold dollars per annum.

Kan, who has been living here for some time as a fisherman, mysteriously disappear ed here Saturday. November 29, and supposed to have been drowned, but from the evidence I have gathered, it looks suspiciously like he was murder ed on a little island at S o'clock Sun day morning. There is strong Opposi tion here to the murder theory and I have quit the search as I have" found no positive proof ef murder or drown ing. T. M. MURPHY." The only Charles Sailor known -to the postoAce departmentor the police, is a Charles Sailor who lived here 'several years ago. The Topeka Bailor conduct ed a rock quarry east of the city.

BREWERS DHOP SUIT Must Make Collection in to Arrest Drivers. Houston. Tex., Dec. 8. Cold weath er that set in during the night added to the discomfort of thousands of refugees in the south Texas flood ter ritory. Throughout the waterbound district of the Brazos and Colorado rivers, flood victims waited in gin houses and trees for rescue boats to take them to concentration camps on the levees that remained' above the tide. While the Brazos crest reached the gulf on Saturday yet its fall today continued slow and the territory along the river 100 miles up from the gulf experienced a record overflow. This seriously delayed rescue work. Additional fatalities were reported but not all of them were confirmed. Today's dlSDitches Dlaced the estimate of the drowned at ninety-six. The majority of the victims are negroes. At Wharton on the Colorado six persons were drowned last night. They lived in a section of the town through which boats were run all night. A man named Bruce, his wife and three children "were drowned and a store keeper named Ra rperished when his store floated off.

AS WILSON SEES IT Colorado Case Shows Labor Unions Amenable to Sherman Law. Washington, Dec. 8. President Wilson looks on the recent indictment of officers of the United Mine Work ers at Pueb'o, Colo., as an answer to criticisms thai the sundry civil hill ex empts labor unions from the opera tion of the Sherman anti-trust law. The president made it clear to vis itors today that the initiative in the prosecution came neither from the department of justice nor the United States attorney at Pueblo, but was taken by the federal grand jury Itself. When asked If the department of jus tice would take a hand in the case, in view of the sundry civil bill's pro vision exempting labor unions from prosecution through the use of a certain- 8300,000 fund, President Wilson reiterated that the special fund af fected was only for employing special counsel and did not affect the ordi nary processes of the department of justice. Crawford county citizens appealed to Governor Hodges today for a parole or pardon for Joe Cheriflssi, who was' sentenced to. the penitentiary for life i in IMS for the murder of Lena Barani Citizens and public officials of Craw- I ford county have written- the governor stating that there is serious doubt as to the Italian's guilt and that his con viction was due almost entirely to the deathbed statement of the murdered woman, hacked by Intense public senti ment near, Chicopee where the murder occurred. Sometime before the murder, Lena Bara"i had been summoned, before the county attorney and an assistant at torney general' to- give testimony re garding the sale -of liquor. It is claim ed that her testimony implicated Cheri flssi and Carlo Colletti in the violations of the prohibitory .law. A few nights after her testimony was given, the wo man, was assaulted and murdered on the streets of Chicopee. Several mur ders had occurred in Chicopee and when Cheriflssi and Colletti were ar rested, pubUo sentiment against the men was intense. The assault occurred in August.. 1908, and before her death two months later, the woman made a deathbed confession in which she charg ed the two men with the murder. Cheriflssi and Colletti were tried sep arately and the same testimony offer ed In both eases. The men sought to prove an alibi through the introduc tion of the testimony of a number of their countrymen. Colletti was ac quitted hut Cheriflssi was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The mother of the murdered woman and a detective named C O. Plngry secured most of the testimony against the two Italians. Since the trial of the cases both the detective and the murdered woman's mother have com mitted suicide. There is strong doubt in the minds of many Crawford county people regarding Cherifissi's guilt. The scene of the murder was an unusually dark corner and a letter from the Crawford county attorney recently stated that it would have probably been impossible for the woman to have rec ognized her assailants. Cherifissi's case will be considered by the parole board sometime this month. Governor Hodges today granted a pa role to P. H. S. Williams, who in Jan uary went to the penitentiary from Phillips county to serve a sentence of one to seven years for embezzlement. Williams was station agent and opera tor for the Missouri Pacific Railway company at Logan when the theft was committed. It was charged that he appropriated and altered a railway money order. r ,,a Williams has a wife and four chil dren living In Concordia. The mother Is unable to care for the 'children, it Is said, and the family is in bad finan cial straits. The parole of Williams has been strongly urged by people in Phillips county and the governor to day gave the man a parole. Williams Is a graduate of the Indiana State un iversity and his trouble with the rail road company was his first offense.

To See City Commission Country Club to Help. Bob Peebles, professional at the To peka Country club, will in a short time appear before the city commissioners of Topeka and present a proposition for establishing public golf links at Gage park. In taking up this proposition, Mr. Peebles hope to give the small sal arled office man, the clerks and other pleasure loving people a chance to in dulge in one of the most iascinaung i-a4.a anil faPfitlva ftnortft- IwaumEi There are a large number of people of this class in Topeka who wish to play golf for the recuperative qualities but cannot afford a membership in the Country club. A public golf link would solve the question. Persons who have a small amount of money which they can use for pleasure seeking, could afford to play golf un der these conditions and Mr. Peebles contends that the expense would not be any greater than the amount expended by the average pool or billiard player. The recreative returns would be much greater for the reason that the player would receive the benefit of the pure outdoor air, not contaminated by the city business hustle, the heated pav ing In the summer time, and also would be benefited by the physical ex ertion necessary in driving the ball and following it from one hole to another. At the same time the physical exertion would not be great enough to overtax the worn system of the office man, the retail clerk or any person employed in doors, or suffering with ill health. In Mr. Peebles' opinion, a nine hole course could be made at Gage park at a cost not exceeding $2,000 and the av erage yearly maintenance would be about $500. He suggests that the or iginal amount be taken from the yearly appropriation for park improvements. He would provide for the yearly up keep by charging players a small amount for each game played. Another system could be adopted by establish-, ing a daily rate for playing or even a monthly or yearly rate. Ha contends that with the estab lishment of public links at Gage park, more than 200 people of the city would ke advantage of the opportunity and begin playing the game. By estab lishing a small charge for using the links, enough revenue could be collect ed to pay the expenses of upkeep and added work that would be necessary from time to time. In reciting the popularity of the game which originated in Scotland, Mr. Peebles has statistics which show that in the United States the sum of $300, 000,000 is spent annually in the game by 2,000,000 players. There are 7.000 golf clubs with A mniTbiitTnfn of 1 400.000. which leaves s total of 600,000 people who take advantage 01 piay on yuvu links. Some of these clubs take advantage of the public links Dy making contracts for the club membership to play on i aifitntf tiA oitv vhprA they tutwu .0 1 are maintained, to collect money which aids in maintaining me unss. r. Peebles asserts that a club with a membership of at least 160 could be organized in Topeka to play on public links, if such existed in the city. The cost of equipment, Including clubs and Valla with a militr has. can be DUr- Chased for $10. Of course- higher priced outnt can oe oougui, dui ik states that this amount would be suf ficient for the purchase of an equip ment of good quality. Mr. Peebles has discussed the pro position with a number of prominent business men, members of the Country club and others, and every person in terviewed has seen the advantage of mMU Unlr- TI1 manV hftTA Offered him their support in securing such a concession for uage para. He expects to meet with some suo- tha Htv tn nrnvide for establishing the links and to get work started on or before tne spring season begins. He believes that the work could be accomplished In time to per mit the people of Topeka to enjoy the advantage of the links next summer. nf nmminent men of the city have agreed to assist him by ac companying mm on tne mission w meet the city commissioners and to kAn nrivAflt&nTa fOT the maintenance of public golf links. Some have even suggested mai money be collected to help pay the expenses for doing -the necessary work. Public links are maintained in many places throughout the country. The following is a partial list: Kansas City, Chicago 2. Des Moines, Peoria, St. Paul, St. Louis 2. Toledo, New Tork J. Bos ton 2, Philadelphia 2 and Memphis. This. is not a complete list. Topeka Country club learned the game on one of these puHlc links. PACKET A FAVORITE. Will Meet Joe Britton In Ten-Round No-Decision Boot. Milwaukee, Dec 8. Much interest la manifested in the fistic encounter planned for tonight in Milwaukee be tween Packy McFarland of. Chicago and Jack Britton, a Chicago light weight. The boys are to box ten rounds and it will be a no-decision affair as far as the referee is concerned. Sporting editors -will pick the winner accord ing to their views of the contest. While both- boxers have figured in the lightweight division, according to an agreement the bout is to be at catch weights. Tom Andrews, who sized up the boys, said Sunday night that Britton would tip the beam at about 136 or 187 pounds and that Packy would register around 141.
