LAST EDITION- SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA KANSAS- JANUARY 10, 1914. SATURDAY EVENING. FIVE CENTO. CITY SHOWS A GOOD SURPLUS -aw--snaa Eyery Department Kept With in Budget, for 1913. Remarkable Work for Commis sion Form Rule. LESS DERIVED FROM TAXES Yet Commissioners Kept With in Year's Expenses. Revenues Fell Off for Twelve Months. Last For the second time in ie history of Topeka, the city, at Vie close of the fiscal year, has a balance on the right side of the ledger In the general reve nue fund. Last year was the first time such a balance ever existed and this was merely nominal, being only sixty three cents. This year the balance is $944.84. The other funds of the city show a remarkable condition. In no fund is there a deficit. In most of them there Is a credit balance, and yet not one cent of taxes for 1914 has been drawn from the county treasurer. Under the old council plan' of city government, financial reports at the end of the year were frequently painted a more healthy complexion than Justified by condi tions, by drawing on the county treas urer a portion of the taxes for the coming year. The report prepared by Roy L. Bone, city commissioner of finance for the city's fiscal year ended December 31, 1913, includes all appropriations out of the various funds for all twelve months of the year. Nothing has been added to the funds from the 1914 taxes. Taxpayers, who have been practicing economy during the year Just- closed. (Continued on Page Six.) SESSIONSJS OUT Secretary of State Not a Can didate for Committee Head. Declares He Will Not Hold Two Jobs at Once. Secretary of -State Charles Sessions will not be a candidate for the chair manship of the Republican state" com mittee according to an announcement made today regarding his boom for the 'eadership of tns state organiza tion. It will be impossible to handle the work of his office and look after the affairs of the state committee. Sessions declared, and for that reason 1 he will not be a candidate and has; asked his friends not to present his name when the committee is called in special session in February or March. Tne Sessions for state chairman plan has been one of the hopes of the harmony Republican workers and for several weeks he has been the only person mentioned as the probable suc cessor to J. N. Doll who resigned the chairmanship and went with the Bull Moose leaders. Sessions is strong! with leaders of both factions in the Republican party in Kansas. He has the confidence of the regular and pro-' gressive workers and had he permit ted his name to go before the state committee would have probably been named for the chairmanship without opposition. Chairmanship Up in the Air. With Sessions' announcement that he .is not a candidate, the question of a new. state leader is left in doubt. None of the leaders appear to be cer tain as to a possible successor to Dol ley and perhaps the program for re organizing the committee will take no HEW EMPEROR AND NEW KING WILL ASCEND THRONES AT THE SAME TIKE i I t Mat 7 f i 7 o 1 1 J Emperor Si Jasan (left) and Kins WilUasa Herman Otto Charles of Weid.

New York. Jan. 10. Dr. L. L. Ten broeck of Minneapolis in today's issue of the Medical Record gives an ac count of a new method of treating diphtheria. He relates his experi ences in implanting in the throats of patients suffering from it a fungus which multiplies rapidly and destroys the germs responsible for the disease. The fungus is said to be harmless and to do its work rapidly. It is called the achya muscaris and is described a thallophytic fungus. The qualifying adjective is derived from two Greek words -thallos, a green twig, and phyton, plant. "Achya muscaris," says Dr. Ten broeck, "possesses the power of de stroying bacilli of diphtheria in cul ture and in the throat. "It is applicable in all stages of the disease and seems to give speediest re sults in the earliest cases." O. IV Austin Resigns. Washington, Jan. 10. O. P. .Austin, chief of the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce since 1898, has resigned and will leave the government service.

Pinney had been de nied the custody of his child both by the Douglas county probate and dis trict courts, the supreme court today gave the custody to the father in al lowing an original writ of habeas cor pus directed against Theodore Sulsen, the child's uncle. It is claimed that the decision is In direct conflict with the opinion in the famous "incubator" baby case and application for a rehear ing will be filed at once. Pinney and his wife lived near Fre donia when the child in controversy was born. It was charged that when the babe was three weeks old that Pinney drove the mother and child from home and that they sought refuge in the home of a neighbor. Two years later the woman secured a divorce from her husband and went to Iowa. Later she worked in Topeka and married a man named Fred Moore. It was two years after her second marriage that she died in St. Francis hospital. On her deathbed, the woman sent for her sister, Mrs. Sulzen. of Lecomp ton. Believing that she was about tc die, the woman sent for witnesses and gave the child into the custody of Mrs. Sulzen. The child lived with the Sulzens until the death, of Mrs. Sulzen in February. 1913.

New York, Jan. 10. Indorsement of the radium treatment for cancer, together with the hope that it would prove efficient, was expressed by Dr. Charles H. Mayo of Rcobester. Minn. Dr. Mayo was here for the meeting, of the board of regents of the American College of Surgeons. The radium treatment. Dr. Mayo said was still in an experimental stage and has enot been tested often enough, nor long enough, to warrant unqualified en doresment. While in hundreds of cases, he said, it had shown favorable results, thousands most be treated successfully before the treatment could be pronounced generally effective. Dr. Mayo sounded a warning to the public not to stampede to the radlnm treatment as a sure, cure for cancer.: He cited Instances ot wnere uwu hands of sufferers had been disappointed when a much heralded cure proved of lit tle value.

BAITS THE COURT Attorney General of Missouri Indicates Line of Action To Judge; Smith ilcPherson in the Rate Cases. Kansas City, Jan.' 10. A spirited at tack upon the acts of Judge Smith Mc Pherson, of the federal district court, in the -Missouri rate cases, was made by John T. Barker, attorney general of Missouri today at a hearing conducted by Judge McPherson preparatory to en tering, a final decree dismissing the cases in accordance with a recent de cision of the United States supreme court. Attorney Oeneral Barker de manded that Judge McPherson dismiss the injunctions dissolved by the Unit ed States supreme court desision at once, without further argument or de lay" and announced that if the judge did not do this, the state would go to the United States supreme court and obtain an order he would obey. "You cannot continue to police this state for the railroads," shouted Mr. Barker. "You cannot always act to save them from hurt." The attorney general's attack fol lowed the filing of a supplemental bill in the case by the railway lawyers ask ing Judge McPherson to enjoin the at torney general from prosecuting suits brought in state courts, against the railroads, to collect millions of dollars In excess charges made while the rate laws were In litigation. After Frank Hagerman. counsel for the railroads, had argued at length, giving reasons why the injunction should he granted, the court remarked: "What has the-attorney to say?" The court room, filled with attor neys and railroad officials, was in commotion within a few minutes af ter Mr. Barker began to talk. "When a judge dissolves an injunc tion,.! always supposed the injunc tion was dissolved," the attorney gen eral said. "But maybe I am not so familiar with federal court practice as some of the railway lawyers here. "Why are the railroads afraid of the state' courts? Why do they always seek thi scourt when they are in trou ble? I want to know the reason. "The 'people of Missouri want to know. I did not come here today to argue this matter agajn. I came here to see that you filed the decree that you wrote and ordered last month and I see no need of argument now. It seems to me' that all there is to this case is .for you to enter the decrees you already have written and which the United States supreme court di rected you to enter." Judge McPherson made no attempt to interrupt the speaker. Medal for Kansas Soldier. Junction City, Kan., Jan. 10.

POLITICAL GOSSIP Grayblll to Washington on I nission Au litf Own. Cnt It Doesnt Concern Hog j Cholera in Kansas. i QSTETnECE nSTGY Prise Eulogy by E. E. Kelley of Toronto Republican. "He Has the Personal Magnet Ism of a Cold Sad-iron." For a week at least Kansas farm ers must look after their own bog cholera cases and fight the (landers and hookworm as best they can. Live Stock Sanitary Commissioner Sam Grayblll has gone to Washington to see Congressman George A. Neeley and things far more important-than pink eye and oerebro spinal meningitis in the Kansas live stock herd are to be considered. It was sometime last night, possibly Friday afternoon, that Oraybill left Topeka. In his handbags Grayblll car- rled the facts and figures concerning conditions in the big Seventh district. He confided to a few of his most In timate state house friends that he was. going to Washington to help straight en out the postofflce troubles of a few of the boys In his district. But when Oraybill arrives in Washington, one of the first things to be adjusted will be the Hutchinson postofflce row. After Postofflce Job. Oraybill Is a candidate for the post office. So, also, Is "Coon" Beck, Reno county sheriff. A half dosen others are in the bread line and would wel come the appointment. But Oraybill believes that he himself should have the Job and he has gone to Washing ton to tell Neeley about it. Politicians admit there Is logic to Oraybill's ar gument. It was Oraybill who was chairman of the Seventh district Democratic committee which put Neeley across in the special election in 1911 to succeed the late Ed Madison. It was Oraybill, more perhaps than any one other individual, who held the district In line in 1912. And now Oraybill has come to claim his reward. He wants the Hutchinson postofflce. That there is uncertainty as to the appointment is evident. In the minds of the politicians, since Oraybill is making a personal visit to the nation-' al capital to urge his claims. But the -Hutchinson case Is. not the only source of trouble to the Seventh district congressman. He has a dozen post office fights In his district which are demanding attention and an elec tion is to be held in Kansas this fall. So Neeley is wavering and each' ap pointment has apparently brought him new grief and sorrow. Oraybill, however, is still most friendly to the Stubbs brother-in-law and- la anxious to stay up nights helping 1 Neeley re turn to the good graces of the Sev enth district voters. And on the other hand,-, Gray bill wants, the Hutchinson postofflce. After his appointment, Governor Hodges can appoint any one he chooses to look after hoof disease, protect quarantine laws and look for ticks in the Kansas sheep herd. As Kelley Sees Brlstow. Many things have been said by the Kansas press about the return of Senator Brlstow to the Republican fold, but E. E. Kelley's Toronto Re publican "prints the prise eulogy of the Sallna statesman in a review of the probable Brlstow-Curtls candi dacies. Concerning Brlstow Kelley said: "On the one hand Is Brlstow, Brls tow with his reincarnation of Repub licanism and other admitted qualifica tions. He has the personal magnetism of a cold sad-iron, and his smile thrills with the gentle warmth of a moon beam coyly kissing an icicle pendant from the northeast eaves on a winter's night. He has all the thrilling elo quence of an adding machine footing the totals of a folio page. His quality of humor is so finely developed that his jests tickle the fancy even as the wild, exuberant titillatlons which convulse the high school boy reciting the theo rem in geometry for finding the solid contents of a triangular pyramid; and when Joe' Brlstow merrily laughs It gives the delicious thrill of Icewater trickling down the spinal column of the Innocent bystander while in the back ground a phonograph grinds out the Ride of the Valkyries. It Is a braw fine humor. The letter Chester I. Long carries and ever and anon recites aloHid to refresh his memory and the later letter to Mr.W. A. White are merely in stances of Mr. BrlstoWa humor. Mr. Long and Mr. White simply are not keen enough to catch the humor. And while Mr. Brlstow was beating a tom tom and urging his friends Into the in surgent breach, It turns out' he was lust a-funnln". He fooled 'em. It was a joke on 'em. A great Joke. He was Republican all the while!" .V.

The creation of stronger senti ment In favor of such a station was the only thing accomplished In this direc tion In 1913. It is possible'' that some definite plan- of actlon-jvlU.bs .develop ed this year. Secretary Kelley is collecting infor mation on the city market proposition, and the question of t. municipal market for Topeka will be loosed inter sarlmisly by the club. Truck gardening.-1 fruit raising, and poultry raising enterprises in the vicinity win aiso ne promotea by the club. The organisation further more will take a keen interest this year In the home garden enterprise among the school children of Topeka. Week en- CKy Pleau. The lighting committee' under W. W- Webb has in view the- installation of additional white way equipment on Qulncy street from trovrra to- jcigntn streets. The committee 'expects event ually to be Instrumental tn -the estab Ushment of a white way around the state house grounds and the lighting of the capltol dome, but It will be un- 9oaaie to accomplish, this unm aner the next session of the legislature. The committee tft of the opinion that Topeka now has the best white way system In any city of it size In the country. The convention committee of the club under J. S. Loneahorar looks forward -to the Increase of the convention fund of the-cltrb -from less thae $9.6s-te $5,000. "Conventions cost money." com mented Mr. Loiwshon. "and if To peka wants more of them the business men must be more liberal ana join the Merchants' association, whieh makes it possible for us to have those that we .now have." There are ap proximately forty members of the Merchants'- annrlallnn. and these firms undertake the entire burden of financing the convention. More Factories Here. The promotion committee expects to brlnsr a. number of new factories to Topeka in 194 through the "factory aid" fund which was raisea tor am purpose of giving financial assistance to strictly worthy enterprises, and otherwise. "When anything worth while copses along we are ready t j finance it," re marked C. S. Elliott, chairman of the committee, "but it should be remarked that every precaution will be taken to see to it that the Institutions are in everv wav worthy." The public welfare committee under A. A. Oodard has called a meeting of representatives from an cnarity or aranlxations of ToDeka to meet next Morula v ovaninar for the purpose of perfecting a "council of federated! charities," for the purpose of pre venting waste and duplication in giv ing to the poor. It was J. B. Billard's suggestion that "charity" as the term is usually applied, be done away with in the future, and is not unlikely that the club will work with a view to pro curing legislation which will make it possible for cities and counties to build work houses and work farms for the unemployed. The club believes in "helping others to help them selves." Aid of Immigrants. An effort will be made to bring the right elass of settlers from England and other countries to settle in Shaw nee county, particularly as tillers of the soil. The state and municipal legislation committees of the club will be busy in the next twelve months. It is expected that the jobbers and manufacturers and others who are members of the club will organise an other trade extension trip for late spring or early summer, to be much more comprehensive than the initial trade trip made last June over the Central Branch. The school board will ask Com mercial club members to serve on one or more advisory committees this year, for the purpose of offering sug gestions relative to improvements in the school system. The completion of the South side dike is one of the enterprises which the club has in contemplation, but a law will have to be enacted by the legislature before this work can be started. Message From Secretary Kelley. Following is an extract from the annual report of J. Will Kelley, sec retary of the Commercial club, rela tive to 1914 enterprises: "Of course we would try to finish the things left undone we should devote real energy towards the improvement of Shawnee county roads. The roads of this country should be the best in the state and this cluh should do Its part in bringing about that condition. "There has been more or less agita tion during the past year for a public market house, and it seems to me that the efforts of the club should be di rected towards a careful and thorough investigation of the market house ques tion, looking towards the establishment of such an institution. At this time I am gathering together information on this question and will have It ready for the consideration of the committee at an early date. Hand in hand with this goes the truck garden, fruit rais ing, poultry raising, etc. With the ex cellent facilities surrounding Topeka. for growing these products. It should be one of the real garden spots of this country. 'We should still endeavor to get a union depot for Topeka, as no improve ment we could make would add more to the beauty and convenience of this city than a union depot. 'One of the chief propositions that will be before the club this year as it looks now, will be encouraging and as sisting in the building of one or more interurban railways. There is a road now building in southeast Kansas that is headed for Topeka, I have met the president of the road and in fact have had him here and he seemed quite en thusiastic about the prospects it would traverse a territory not now directly connected with Topeka by railroads and enable them to come to Topeka and do their trading instead of their going to Kansas City. There is also some prospects of a line between To peka and Kansas City, in fact the line is assured as far west as Lawrence so I am Informed. Interurban railways mean a great Increase in Topeka 'a business and naturally we should be Interested. "There will be things suggested by the social survey and the city plan re ports that will call for development of parks, playgrounds and boulevards that will occupy the attention of the club to a considerable extent. "To continue to engender a friendly feeling towards Topeka by the state at large and the entire country, too, should be our great effort to make Topeka a better place to live so that others will want to come here and be of us, should be our highest aim for 1914 and each succeeding year." FEARING A COAL STRIXE Rock Island Stores 40,000 Tons on First toisteicC -"V Fearing a strike of coal miners April 1, the Rock Island has been storing coal at different points on the line within- the past few weeks. The largest amount of coal stored at one point is at Des Moines, la. Here over 40,000 tons has been placed in safe ty and at-other cities In. Iowa., large tonnage has been 'placed in: empty ears or in storage. At West Liberty, la.. the Rock Island has begun to store 40,000 tons of coal and .at Cedar Rap Ids, Burlington. Columbus Junction, West Des Moines and other places, the Rock Island will store large quantities. In these latter places it will be easy for the road to put the coal in cars on va cant tracks. It is estimated that the cost of un loading; the coal at .Des Moines is 75 cents a ton. Thus it will cost over 830. 000 dollars to unload the coal there, not counting the original cost of the fuel. The coal for the Iowa lines of the Rock Island is being taken from the new Rock Island mines in the southern part of that state. This will enable the northern part to withstand any de- mends made by the miners. The Rock Island is the only line that has taken these precautions in Iowa at the present time.

LUSSfliHMOlO Topek Jack" Johnson Gltes Few Pointers on Art. Start Oat by Joining an Ath letic Clab. CT1T UL EE CHCTCjS Local Celebrity Gives Cheer to Ambitions. Talnable Hints to "Would Be" Boxers. "Topeka Jack" Johnsonv now the big husky athlete and trainer of fighters, advises the younger genera tion to adopt sparring as a method of physical culture, as a feature for quickening the mind and producing better health. Jack has been Interested in the pastime for a number of years and has studied it from all angles. He is familiar with the habits of practical ly every prominent fighter in the country arid explains -this as one of his reasons for recommending the padded glove as a method of improv ing the physical condition. Jack is breaking into the oracle ranks as a writer. The following is a bit of informa tion gleaned by the big athlete dur ing his long experience: Boxing a Manly Art. "To my Judgment boxing is one of the most manly arts and the classiest sport that any roung man can under take, for many reasons, .but it has become seemingly at this day and time that the financial end and con nections with any of the leading sports play a great part. So in that i case we will have to give the boxing game still more credit lor x Deiieve without doubt there is not an other sport known to the Amer ican public where so much mon ey is made and spent as there is in the boxing game. Think of one man receiving $30,000 j for about one hour of actual work. I Tet other than this the game is great as a health restorer, both mentally and physically.. No bone-headed fellow ever became really a clever, skillful boxer or fighter. .1 have al ways claimed that a young man tc become an accomplished boxer must have brains as well as muscles. "The first important thing in start ing to box is to get into the proper position. Hold your head well back, your left hand and foot to the front, with the hand well extended, your right hand close to your chest and your feet not spread too far apart. Avoid these modern crouches and tled-up-in-a-knot poses. One must stand in a natural position, easy and loose, so he can readily step back ward, forward or sideways. Foot work is very important. Packey Mc Farland uses the right pose; study his style; see how speedily and gracefully he steps in and out. Packey reminds me greatly of Joe Gans, but he is not the wonderful master of art which poor Joe was. If you cannot see Mc Farland in action get some of his photos in fighting position; they will give you a better idea than can be explained in one brief lesson. Learn to Stop a Blow. "It is better to learn to stop a blow than to deliver one and often more dif ficult. Two amateurs of equal size, weight and knowledge will often find it easier to deliver a punch than to avoid one. so before you attempt to learn to deliver a blow be sure that .you can keep out of the way and can offset your opponent's lead. If you can make him miss constantly, he often be comes discouraged and tired. The Simple Rudiments. "If your opponent leads with his right at your head try and stop it with your left if he leads with his left, block with your right; if he sends his right at your body ward it oft with your left. Do likewise with your right if he starts his left at your body. These really are the four simple and principal points in boxing; in fact, the very rudiments of science. Don't take any stock in a system that teaches you to punch more with one hand than with the other; always try to be a good two handed boxer. Deliver Straight and Clean. "Learn to hit straight and clean; swinging blows nearly always leave an opening for your opponent. The swings do not have the effect on the opponent as the straight ones, for the simple rea son that the swings do not land as square and solid as the straight ones. The secret of hard hitting 'in land ing.' It's always well to do the lead ing with the left, reserving your right for a chance opening. Wherever you hit your man with one hand, let the other fist land in the same spot if pos sible. It will be very much more ef fective. Watch Your Opponent's Eyes, "Never lose sight of your man's eyes they will most always telegraph when and where he intends to hit you. Just as soon as he starts to lead shoot your straight left to the face and the force of him coming to you will increase the effect of your blow considerably. If you do not think you have time to ac complish this, throw off your oppon ent's lead or blow as explained above. Be Careful About Decking. "It takes a finished boxer to know how to successfully duck a blow. Nov ices should consequently be Careful about this point and not Indulge in it until they have mastered the skill. In ducking you lose sight of your onnnn- ent for a few seconds and if the latter Happens to eaten you wttli a stiff upper cut it may be 'good night' to you. CASCARETS TONIGHT! HEADACHY, COIfTSIPATED 10 CENTS Cascarets make you feel bully; they immediately cleanse and sweeten the stomach, remove the sour, undi gested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated CARETS Sidestepping Is Iao quit alee paint' and requires considerable practice to become expert at It. Slmrjle CooditJoa the Best. "While the question of condition plays a great part and there are many different ideas along, those lines, most young; fellows who go into ath letics imagine they are compelled to follow a certain diet continually, go through a severe course of training, keep their muscles as hard as Hint and live a very unnatural existence. My experience has taught me that this is altogether rrong. Live regular, take Just enough exercise, to keep your liver and circulation active and don't get your biceps too tough and stiff. If you do you will very soon discover that hard muscles will slack en your speed, and will cause your muscles to tighten and bind up. I wouldn't give a rap for a boxer with out rapidity. Join an Athletic Club. "My advice to any yonng man-who desires to become a clever boxer is to Join some good, clean athletic club of amateurs. This no doubt will en able him to keep out of mischief and from taking part in many worthless things which are of no service what ever. Any intelligent young man. will learn more from frequenting clubs of this kind than by standing on the street corners. In a short time he will learn enough to put on the gloves with some of the more unaccom plished members. After a few bouts he will soon find out whether nature intended him for a champion or not. All men are not born to become champions and young boxers will soon discover this after a few sharp, snappy settos. "I claim that every healthy young fellow with a good physique and a bright brain can become a clever box er by close attention, hard practice and the use of good judgment. I do not claim by this that he can become the fighter of great note always, as there are many skillful and fancy boxers who will not .stand before a man of less ability and more heart. When it comes to real fighting the heart plays a very important part for sure. However, it is not necessary for us aii to be champions. Some of our most wealthy and best fixed men who made their money in the ring were never champions but were only good boxers." BASKETBALL EVENTS. K. S. A. C. Team Defeated Ames In Rough Contest. Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 10. The Kansas Aggies won their first Mis souri Valley basketball game from Ames Friday night on the Nichols court, 19 to 7. The contest was marred by rough work by both fives. The playing of Sweeney and Hansell for the Ames five featured that team's play. Ames scored three free throws in the second half. Captain Root, sec onded by Right Forward Shull, starred for the Kansans. Shull fea tured at the free throwing game.

Even More Than Men Who Nothing Else. Raise Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 10. Why is it that cattle men usually are the most prosperous farmers? W. A. Cochel, chief of animal husbandry at the Kansas Agricultural college, in ad dressing the state farmers' institute here said that it is because they are growing more corn, more oats, and more hay to the acre than the men who grow grain only. It la not neces sarily because they are making a big profit on their beef. Why is it that they are getting bet ter yields of corn and oats than the men who are putting in all of their time on grain crops? It is because they are building up the fertility of their farms, the professor told the farmers. The wheat farmer often burns straw. The beef farmer feeds it, and thus put his straw on the mar ket and also increases the fertility of nis land. Professor Cochel urged the growing of more live stock. "There has been a consistent, steady advance in the price of beef for the last forty years," Professor Cochel said. There is nothing that we can foresee which Indicates that beef will be any cheaper in the future than It is at present.

South ern California is more intensely pop ulated with professional ball players than any other section of the whole United States. Practically 200 of these are scattered over the topog raphy of this favored section from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border. But in order" to fully appreciate the greatness of Southern California as a winter baseball mecca, it is necessary to mention the. fact that no. leas than seven of the New Tork Giants are hi bernating in these parts.

Russell is displaying mid-season form, and went unwhipped until .a week ago when Concannon, an obscure party from Moose Jaw, blanked the San Diegans, I to 0. "Lefty" is credited with having fanned 44 players in four games. There is also quite a smattering of magnates and managers hereabouts.

JAKE'S MIX. The future of baseball in Wichita pro bably will be settled today. Whether Wichita will stay in the Western League In the face of all that has been said to the contrary will be determin ed at a meeting of the board of direc tors of the association. Baseball affairs in that town appear to be hanging pn a pivot and several thousand dollars must be raised, and in short order, if the team and tranchise is retained. A call for a meeting to be held recently was given no attention and now the board of directors will make another attempt. It is reported that persons Interest ed in the Kansas State League team In Sallna, want Hutchinson to accept a franchise for the coming season. Hutchinson has more than 17.000 people and could support a team. The city has been without professional baseball for three years and the fans supported a -Semi-professional organisation last season..-.-'."-. The greatest knock recorded of late in baseball circles originated recently in the Emporia Gazette, published by William Allen White, the Progressive leader. He may be a leader in politics but wall, read it: "A story being print ed in the Kansas papers is to the ef fect that Emporia will endeavor to get into the Kansas State Baseball League next year. Does Emporia really want in the state league? Membership in the state league will mean Sunday baseball. It will mean vacating Normal field, as It cannot be engaged for Sun day sport. It will mean that the in evitable hangers-on' of a state league win lnieat the -town. it. will mean professional players, in whom the town is only casually interested. It will mean no better ball than the Emporia boys play. It will mean that, if any of the town boys play, they will have to be away from home all summer, in ""'""ICir It will ii $z Insurance in force Dec 31, 1913, E. E.

Pitcher Ben Harris, of the Denver club, has been talking about joining the Federal League for two or three weeks. Harris is a good pitcher in Class A but we have our doubts about his abil ity to stick with the Federals. It begins to look like Joe Tinker will have a good team at Chicago and that the club will be the class of the cir cuit. Tinker is getting enough free ad vertising. If that will help his team. Will Jack Hendricks or Jlmmle Mc Gill kindly select and announce the name of a manager of the Denver team for next year! -'Denver sport writers claim that Mc Gill will- retain the owership of Shortstop Jack Coffey and Outfielder Hank Butcher If the Denver team is sold to Eddie Smith. Without these two men, the new owners would get nothing but a bunch of uniforms and old shoes. It is said that Hendricks wants to use this pair on the Indianapo lis team. Tom Falrweather mailed contracts to 20 Des Moines players Thursday. The men are requested to report for prac tice, a month before the season begins. The pitching staff will comprise the principal changes. Frank Isbell asserts that the sport scribes, of the Western League are claiming he is getting too old to work as active manager of the team In an effort to keep the Federals off his trail. and maybe he is right. Isbell claims that he hasn't been approached yet. News via Des Moines has reached here that Dale Gear has invented a new sliding pad and that he has interested sporting good dealers In its sale. The information says the pad Is worn out side the uniform. Nothing has been heard of the contrivance in Topeka. What made Milwaukee famous? 'This department, not' ever having visited the Wisconsin city can't answer the ques tion but does not believe it to be the same thing .that now Is giving Cincin nati a bunch of free advertising.

A FEDERAL RAID Get Signatures of Packard, Ad Brennan, Kllllfer and Cole. Expect Aaavoncement to Cause Wavering Majors to Sign. Chicago. Jan. 10. Gene Packard, pitcher for the Cincinnati National League club; Ad Brennan. and William Kllllfer, pitcher and catcher respective ly, for the Philadelphia Nationals, and Leonard (King) Cole, pitcher for the New Tork Americans, have signed three year contracts with the Chicago Federal League club. Their salaries have been guaranteed. The amount of salary the men will receive was not made public. Other contracts had been signed, but announcements will be withheld for a few days. Within a week the name of the manager of each of the eight clubs will be made public This deal went far towards providing a full pitching staff for the local club. Joe Tinker is said to have declared that Packard, whp was with him last year in Cincinnati, Is the most prom ising young left handed pitcher in or ganised baseball. Packard went to Cin cinnati from the Columbus club of the American Association. Kllllfer started playing professional ball with the Kalamazoo, Mich., club and went from there to Texas, later going; to San. Francisco and returning to the Texas League. In 1910 he ap-j pea red with the St. Louis American League club but was released to the Buffalo club of the International League, from which he was drafted by Philadelphia. Ad Brennan. From Wichita. Cincinnati bought Brennan from Wichita, Kan., in 1909, and let him go in the trade with Philadelphia by which Red Corriden. went to the Ohio city. -oi nith hi-nitaotiv for th. fhi- cago Cubs in 1910. but was traded to the Columbus Association club, from which he was drafted by New Tork. The four players are In the youngster class, according to Weeghman, who said Tinker considered them especially desirable members of the club because of that fact. Tinker is on the road and it was said additional contracts will be announced within a few days. The Philadelphia club was the hard est hit' by the announcement. Otto Knabe, who deserted the Phtladelphias to sign as manager for. the Baltimore club, was here when the signatures of his former teammates became public. He rejoiced when he heard they had entered the new league and said he knew several stars who had been of fered Federal places, but who were waiting to see what other players left organised baseball to cast their lots with the Federals. Wavering Majors May. Sign Now. -He expressed the behef that the signing of the four players would re sult in swinging several others who have been wavering for. several days. Reports were persistent that Vic Sair, first baseman with the -Chicago Nationals, had signed a contract with the St. Louis Federals. The rumors were not confirmed and Knabe Inti mated that, he would visit Sair's home In Lansing. Mich., and try to sign him for the Baltimore club. Knabe spent several hours with. Gilmore and seemed disappointed that .Tinker was not in the city. Heine Zimmerman. Cubs' third base man, who came here Friday from New Tork, denied that he would talk with the federal management or that he was considering an offer from the new teagne.

HUMAN HERD COOL Id 'Advocated by Dr. Kellogg at Race Betterment Conference. Battle Creek, Mich., Jan.. 10. A eugenic registry office for the purpose of developing a race of human thor oughbreds was one of .the suggestions of Dr. J. H. Kellogg of Battle Creek. speaking today at the national confer ence for race betterment. "It only takes four generations to make a thoroughbred, when the principles of eugenics have a fair chance to oper ate," said Dr. Kellogg. "We have reg istries for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and even cats and dogs. If a lady wishes to establish the standing of her pet poodle she can do so by appeal ing to an official record and the puny canine may lift its head above its fel lows as a born, aristocrat, but nowhere on earth, as far as I know, is there to be found a registry for human thor oughbreds. 'The hope is entertained by mem "crH conierence mat one 01 tne results of the meeting may be the tablishment of such a registry. In deed, it seems the time has fully come when a eugenic registrv office should be established In which may be recorded the names of infants who are born under eugenic conditions and perhaps also the names of persons who In person and pedigree are able to measure up to eugenic standards." Dr. Kellogg prefaced his plea for a eugenics registry with a resume of de teriorating Influences now actively at work such as increasing insanity. In creasing crime,- high infant mortality and decreased Hfe expectancy. He emphasised the Importance of pure blood rather than blue blood. Some of his recommendations for race bet terment are greater activity of health ofBclabj. health education in the pub lic schools, biologic surveys of every community, periodical medical exami nation, health certificates before mar riage, sterilization of defectives -and most Important of all. the establish ment of eugenics registers."

Even with all her sinning, the Allen county Jail ia no fit place to incarcerate a girl of 14 years, Joseph B. Smith, Judge of the Juvenile court, declares and as a result of that conclusion Mary Armstrong Dean will not while away the time intervening between now and January 30 behind the bars in the musty, crumbling old prison. The Franklin county Jail has a spe cial ward for Juvenile offenders and special provisions are made for the care and custody of young girls. In the Allen county Jail,-such con ditions are Impossible. In the first place the Jail is so old. damp and dumpy that it is practically out of the question to maintain absolute sanitary conditions. There is no ward for female offenders and the girl of ten der years who falls into the clutches of the law must be thrust into the company of her seniors in crime. THIS TURKEY WAS LOADED. Iron Bolts and Other Ballast Found in Carcass. Fort Scott. Kan.. Jan. 10. For proof that some people will go to al most any extreme for the sake of a few paltry pennies one needs only to become acquainted with the particu lars of a recent turkey deal that oc curred in Fort Scott. A certain res taurant man, the day before Christ mas, bought from a dealer a turkey which had been killed and picked, but not cleaned. When the cook was cleaning the fowl he found inside it a number of heavy bolts and nuts, which had evi dently been forced into the turkey's throat after its head had been re moved. The turkey, at the time of its purchase, weighed 18 pounds, and the restaurant man paid for it at the rate of 18 cents a pound. The bolts and nuts found inside the turkey weighed two pounds, which made it obvious that the restaurant man had been cheated out of Just 36 cents, and the poultry dealer, who bought the fowl from the poultry raiser, had also been cheated. TREE W AS A CURIOSITY. Elkhart Children Asked for Leaf Laden Branches. Elkhart. Jan. 10. When the little new town of Elkhart, down on the southwest Santa Fe line had a Christ mas celebration, with a program of speeches, addresses, songs and instru mental music, and 200 stockings for the "kids." that was nrettv fine, in the kids' opinion, even if they did come roiling in over tne prurien irom vver thirty miles away in such numbers as to find that the stockings were not enough to go round. But there was something else there that many of the Elkhart and vicinity kids had not known at first hand, and that was the Christmas tree, and when the gift distribution was over, they came and shyly asked for sprays to take home. Green things in southwest Kansas are not common, and Christmas cele brations with everyone out to the Colorado line present are wonderful. REFUSE JACKSON'S CANE.

Bradstreet's says: Trade and industrial affairs present a more cheerful aspect This as yet is more a matter of sentiment and tone than of actual expansion in de mand and output but favorable devel opments certainly seem to outweigh those of an adverse character. Thus there is a little more activity in some wholesale lines, salesmen are going back on the road, money for commer cial needs is easier and banks are seeking Instead of rejecting paper. Sales of Taw wool are encouraging and prices tend to harden despite large imports. There is more doing in northern pig iron at leading western markets and winter wheat is in excel lent condition the country over with a good covering of snow.

The dealers al ready have begun to get in shipments of cars for spring trade.' There are now L228 motor cars in Shawnee county and 3S8 motorcycles.

We have made a con tract to handle the Flying Merkle ma chine as well as the Indian. Several per sons have intimated that they will buy In the spring. We have sold three machines in the last two months. That is not a bad showing considering the weather condi tions, but in the spring we expect to sell that many In a day." Irwin Keller, Harley-Davldson motor cycle: "If the crop conditions in the spring axe favorable business will be as good as ever and probably better. If the harvest is satisfactory the late summer and fall business will be the best we have ever experienced. The demand for ma chines for commercial use- is increasing the dealers expect to sell many machines for this purpose." M. E. Harding, Yale motorcycles: "We expect to do more business in 1914 than in 1913. -Motorcycles for business or delivery purposes are becomimr more popular since the two-speed machines were introduced. Side cars can easily be handled with the two-speed machines." J. T. Brummltt Excelsior motorcycles: "It .is up to the crops as the motorcycle game depends largely upon them. Condi tions are now favorable and we expect to do a satisfactory business in 1914. showing a nice increase over 1913." M. M. Huyett of Sallna. former state F. A.

Formerly he was a bicycle enthusiast having partici pated In a large number of races. Mr. Huyett states that the machines of today are vastly superior to those of a few years ago as in respect to durability. He has driven two machines 3i.000 miles, and only found It necessary to ship once. Tha was when he dropped a glove in the chain, breaking the two-speed and the drive shafts. F. N. Welton has Just received a 1914 model of the Indian machine which is electrically equipped. A. Fassler has purchased a Loxler car. Rehkopf Bros., car painters and re pairers: "We expect a good business for .1914, especially if the crop con ditions remain favorable.

Strange Controversy Current in Scten tiflc Circles Reeardliig Its Virtues. Reference has repeatedly been made in these pages to the strange contro versy current in scientific circles over the virtues of fresh air. The Physiol ogists disagree, like the other doctors and professors. The poor layman is sorely perplexed and soon he may not know. -what to believe, who the here tics are, where disputation ends and reasonable certainty begins. Prof. Lee of Columbia university, New York, has Just been attacking; al leged pure-sir fallacies. The exact science of ventilation, he predict, will lay little stress on chemical purity of air; long-cherished notions must he dropped and new truths mastered; the ozone fans should be relegated to a back and obscure seat r and so on. Adverting to "notable Investiga tions," Prof. Lee assures us that foul! air is not "the enemy" to be dreaded and avoided. "Crowd air" may be nnpleasaat In odor, but it is not the menace it has been supposed to be. What we need and should emphasise Is proper- temperature and the right degree of humidity. Air should be kept in motion; rooms should be flushed by sudden Inrushes of cold air, and windows should be kept open at night especially In bedrooms. The one truly scientific formula is. "Keep cool." It fa devoutly to be hoped that the poor layman wil' not, aa the contro versy advances, be further confused and demoralised by assaults on ac cepted principles, it is something, at any rate, to feel that, the gospel of open windows at night, of plenty of in tne open where the air Auto Top Rehkopf Bros MX TEES tScS "By Allies the Dest" Repair VTcrlx Shawnee Tire and Repair Company one sixteen east seventii ERWIN KELLER, Manager Phone 1233 Successor to Paul MutVane L.

:o;; itjs ao This Grain Sorghum Has Forged to the Front. Crop Is Grown In Erery Connty in Kansas. QO RESISTS EOT WEATHER Plant Is Not Recommended for Forage Purposes. Has Yielded 100 Bushels Grain to the Acre. of Milo, one of the grain sorghums, is crop that is rapidly coming to the front in Kansas. It is mainly a seed or grain producing plant with few leaves as compared Tfith kafir or the aweet sorghums. It may be used as a substitute for corn in the feeding of all 'live stock, but because of its lack of leaves and the fact that it is in clined to be pithy, it is inferior as a forage crop. It was grown in every county in Kansas for the first time In 1912. Milo was introduced into the south ern states in 1885 by the federal de partment of agriculture, but did not become a staple crop until 1890, when Types of Kafir and Milo it was planted in western Texas. The grain had to be acclimated. The ter ritory In which milo was planted, con sequently, gradually extended north ward. In 1900 Kansas grew 5,228 acres of milo; in 1912, 183,000 bushels. While in 1912 it was grown in every county in the state, the crop is culti vated most extensively in the western and southwestern sections. Seward county led the counties of the south west in 1912 with 35,000 acres; the same year Trego county grew 33,000 acres. Milo is a drouth resisting plant, as was proved in 1913, when despite the drouth, grain was matured in every county in western Kansas. P. H. Houston, a banker of Thomas county, had two hundred acres of milo that produced an average of 25 bushels of grain to the acre, maturing before the first frost. Grows In Dry Weather. In dry weather milo continues to grow while kafir lies dormant in case of drought until moisture is supplied. It matures in from ninety to one hundred days. Beginning about 1903 the development of milo as a grain crop became more rapid. Tne carerul selection of seed re sulted in producing more uniformity in height, and eliminated to a gratifying extent the stooling and branching ten dency. Kansas farmers should select their own seed to assure the best seed for planting.

SHawnee Hilling Co. Established 1871 m.ra' Rnmctimes a difference of few days In the maturing of a crop will make a difference Between suw crop and an absolute failure, me ex-, perts say that from four to six pounds J per acre, is sufficient seed to use in planting. Tields as high as one hundred bush els to the acre have been known. The average yield for Oklahoma last sea son is said to be about forty bushels. The grain has about the same value as corn. If forage is desired the milo should be cut when the seed is in the dough, cared to the shock, and the heads re moved. There is a tendency on the part of the fanners of the west to grow kafir. This is probably because of the superi ority of kafir as a forage plant. T. A. Borman, editor of the Kansas Farmer, nrhn i. nnniderei an authority on grain sorghums, has the following tot Bflv iTha urMtern farmer can adopt kafir, particularly red by employing tne same pnnciyico and acclimatisation as in the case of milo but in our Judgment he should plant milo for grain and kafir or cane for forage." Mr. Borman will soon pub lish a profusely illustrated book on the grain sorghums. F. I. S, CHARGED WITH SHOOTING. Olathe Man Believed to Have Fired Snot Which Hit Chair. Olathe, Kan., Jan. 10. Frank Des kins was arrested Friday charged with shooting John Smyser, a wealthy bachelor farmer living near Springhill. smyser was nrea upon with a shot gun as he sat reading near the door of his home the night of Dec. 19. Most of the charge from the gun Heads; Milo at Right. entered the back of a rocking chair and saved Smyser's life, but a few of the shot struck him, making a wound from which he has just recovered. Deskins, after his arraignment, was released on a bond of $800. Deskins, also a farmer, is Smyser's nearest neighbor. When the officers put bloodhounds on the trail soon after the shooting, the dogs, it is said, went to Deskins house. At that time Deskins told .the officers that as he was the first person -to reach the Smyser home after the shooting, the dogs probably had followed the trail he made on that trip. Further inves tigation by the authorities resulted In Deskins being taken into custody. WOULDN'T HARBOR DESERTER. Father Turns Son Over to Officers at Fort Leavenworth. Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 10.

"This is my son," he answered., "and I am here to turn him over 'to the military authorities as a deserter. No man can point to me and say I raised a boy who proved a traitor.

Jesse Wil- lard testified Friday in the superior court that he did not strike John (Bull) Toung with his full strength at any time during the match at Ver non arena Aug. 22, 1913, which was followed by Young's death the next morning. This was in the trial of Willard for alleged violation of the state law pro hibiting prize fighting. "Prise fights are the most brutal exhibitions in the world," declared Charles Kyton, referee of the Willard Toung contest, but added that the af fairs in Vernon arena were not prise fights, but boxing exhibitions.

Redskins Had Fun With Young White Brother. Topekan Operated First Store on Wichita Site. If you are interested In Indian stories talk to Hallock Hill, city sani tary policeman. Mr. Hill may have to be coaxed, but it is worth the trouble when he once "opens up." In the early days Mr. Hill spent con siderable time, living with different tribes. He lived with Chief Wah He of the Wichita tribe. In the winter of -18CS he was carried away by a band of fifteen hundred Cbeyennes and was held among them for two and one-half months. Mr. Hill resents having this period of his life referred to as his captivity. "I was not captured. I was Just taken along with them. They trusted me, and I hunted among Just like an Indian. It happened this way. With a party of traders I went to a place called 'Dutch Bill's' ranch. Bill was a Dutchman who was living with an Indian woman known as Cheyenne Jennie. Afterwards he left this wom an, gave her half his property and married a daughter of Chief Burnett, after whom Burnett's Mound, south west of the city, is named. "Well, the rest of the trading party went back to Leavenworth, intending to return right back. I was left in charge of about fifteen hundred dol lars worth of flour. The creeks and rivers became flooded and I waited in vain for the party to return, but they could not ford the streams. A big band of Cheyenne Indians, about fif teen hundred, was camped near where I was. One day they picked up camp and started west. Dutch Bill's ranch was seven miles beyond Meade's ranch, and Meade's ranch was where the city of Whitewater now is. Nothing to Do Bat Go. "When the Indians were ready to go, they brought up a pony and told me to come along. There was no choice in the matter, so I went along and lived like the Indians. We did did not have much to eat except buf falo meat, but there were plenty of buffaloes and we lived by hunting. When a man is hungry, a piece of buffalo tallow the size of an apple makes a very good meal, and it Is not sickening like the beef tallow. "As nearly as I can figure out, we went into winter camp near where Medicine Lodge now is. The place was called Nymukaw I do not know how it was spelled, for I never saw; it spelled, but that is the way It was pronounced. Formation of Wichita. "There was Just one firm of white men In the place which Is now Wich ita. Kellogg Murphy was the name of the firm and they had headquarters In Leavenworth. A man named Mun ger, who bad operated a stage line with headquarters in Topeka, had gone to Wichita to manage the store. "The Cheyennes were more honor able and less treacherous than either the Snakes or Arapahoes and the Arapahoes were much better than the Snakes. I mean by this that the Cheyennes had ethics about 'fair fighting.' They would fight with their fists and those watching the fight would not let knives or firearms be resorted to unless both combatants were armed. Fist Fights With Indians. "I had several fist fights with indi vidual Indians in the Cheyenne camp. If I hurt one a little he might attempt to use a knife, but others of his tribe Iwrv9 interfered so long as I was fizhting free handed. -1 usually came out second best in these encounters. Had these fights been in camps of either the Snakes or Arapahoes they would not have interfered if knives had been drawn. Xet tne t;neyenne were the most war-like of any of the tribes. "I was twenty-one years old when I was with the Cheyennes and my beard was growing, but the Indians wanted to make a good Indian out of me, so they pulled all my eyebrows and whiskers out, and when I got back to the settlements, my friends had lots of fun laughing at my ap pearance. Feared Losing His Scalp. "I would not have left the Indians when I 'did but they were organizing war-parties. The parties would leave in the night. For several mornings. I had noticed many braves missing each morning, and I became nervous that the war medicine might work too strong, and that some of the braves might decide to lift my hair. "So, one dark night I picked out the best horse .n the camp and start ed back for civilization. It took me three days and three nights to get back to Meade's ranch and it was the worst weather I have ever experi enced rain or sleet aU the time." The foregoing is only one of many exneriences Mr. Hill had with Indians. At ntw time he was alone hunting when I he was surrounded by a band of In dians, who searched him lor anyining he might have which they coveted. "I did not have much of value," -he explained. "In those days I used to bacco. They took my tobacco away BREAKS A COLD NEEDS NO HELP Tape's Cold Compound' Ends Colds and Grippe in Few Honrs 'Tastes Nice Acts uentiy. V.

MIST SIGN A FLEDGE Ironclad Roles for Students of Ne College of Surgeons. New Tork. Jan. 10. .Each fellow of the new American college of surgeons, 1,060 of whom were elected by the board of regents at a meeting here must sign a pledge. This pledge fol lows: "To avoid the signs of selflshnea: to shun unwarranted publicity: dishonest money seeking and commercialism as disgraceful to our profession, to refuse utterly all secret money trades with consultants and practitioners; to teach the patient his financial duty to the pnyaician ana to urge tne practitioner to obtain Ills reward from the patient openly." The objects of the college It was said were to raise the standard of sur gery In this country so that only com petent men shall be allowed to prac tice. To accomplish this the board of regents will urge legislation requiring a supplementary degree as a requisite to practice surgery. This degree, it is planned, to grant to graduates of re cognized colleges by the medical school to be established by the regents. There will be a meeting of the regents in rauaaeipnia, June zz. at which 600 more fellows in addition to the 1,040 elected will be chosen and another in Baltimore, Nov.

Carries a oaied ttt lead 'as a Weapon. Clacked a Policeman's Eyes in a fieeent Encounter. London, Jan. 10. Illness and prison bans have deprived the Women's Social and Political union of its ablest leaders and the. organisation, once noted for an efficiency approaching almost to mili tary genius, has fallen upon evil times. The attempt to prevent the arrest of Mrs. Emettne Pankhurst, when she i landed at Plymouth on her return from America, resulted In a farce which re acted as -much on the police as on the baffled militants., for the elaborate po lice precautions were made ridiculous by the ineptitude of "General" Mrs. Flora Drummond's well .advertised bodyguard! The militants declare in explanation of the fiasco that Mrs. Drummond is more fit Cor the hos pital than the foray, and that the ab sence of Annie Kenny, her ablest lieu tenant, completed the disorganization. Whatever the cause may be, everi the friends of the militants do not deny that the fighting forces are sadly deple ted and. furthermore, while the back ers of the movement still continue to pour money Into the treasury, the sup ply of recruits is becoming thinner daily. No leaders seem to have arisen to take the place of those who are in capacitate, and the full treasury will be so much dross, if workers cannot be found to spend it, in the peculiar manner the militant affects, to irritate Britons into giving her the vote. Miss Zelie Emerson, the American suffragette, who has been one of the most active spirits In the organisation of the ''People's Army" in the East End, set her followers a good example oeiore ner arrest recently, and as a re sult of a fight which she put up, then nlspector Potter of the Metropolitan po lice has been wearing two black eyes. After the arrest of Sylvia Pankhurst, Miss Emerson was left in supreme com- 1 mand of the army and the first work; she undertook was to head a section of the army to visit the homes of the local counsellors, who had refused to allow the East End suffragettes to use the Bow Baths for their weekly meet ings. In a narrow street before a counsellor's home. b. 'tie was begun with a special squad of police. The East End hoodlum dearly loves a fight, but he does not fancy facing heavy odds and the suffragette leader soon found herself with only a remnant of the old guard left about. But undaunt ed she charged, swinging a rope loaded with lead, and to-this formidable wea pon. Inspector Potter, who met the full shock of the attack at the head of a picked squad of London's best, owes his two black eyes. Before she could do any more aamage to tne representatives of man made law." Miss Emerson was gathered In by the constables, who kept their prisoner despite the desper ate efforts made to effect her release. The Suffrage Service leasm been organized with many prominent women as members, whose first alma will be the support of Parliamentary candidates who are pledred to vote lor woman's sum-age. The members of the society will make as their first aim the support of parliamentary candidates who are pledged to vote for woman's suffrage. The next step will be to study the civic duties, and opportunities that women already possess and to make use of them; and the third duty wUl be to perform some definite organ ized service for the benefit of the community. While not using militant methods the new organization will be military in form. The primary unit will be a band consisting of eleven members headed by a captain. Ten bands asso ciated together will be placed under a leader, and these leaders will be ex offlcio members of the governing council of the society. The captains and their bands undertake to work for the suffrage strenuously and along certain definite lines, political, social and philanthropic. The league is headed by Lady St Davids and among the members of the committee are Lady Clare Annes ley. Lady Mary Plunkett, Lady Mulr Mackenzie, Mrs. Ronald McNeill and Miss Bertha Mason.
