The year 1914 cold weather record was broken today, but at that the minimum temperature was but three degrees below the normal minimum temperature for this date. The low mark today was twelve degrees above- two years ago today it was nineteen degrees below zero. Jan. 12, 1912, there were four and one-half Inches of snow and sleet on the ground and the street railway com pany was having difficulty in operat ing cars, due to the fact that ice clogged the tracks. The maximum temperature on that day was three degrees below zero. The minimum temperature thus far for this season was nine degrees above zero on Dec. 26. Sunday was a pleasant sunny day with a maximum temperature of forty-six degrees at three o'clock. The thermometer reading at seven o'clock Sunday evening was thirty eight degrees. There was a drop of sixteen degrees between that hour and eight o'clock this morning. The sky was clear this morning. The forecast for the week from Washington calls' for seasonable though comparatively pleasant winter weather this week. Frost Is slated for Florida. An Associated Press dispatch from Kansas City reads: "The coldest weather of the winter came to the lower Missouri valley to day when the thermometers here and ta St. Joseph, Mo., registered 10 de grees above zero. Toward noon the temperature began to rise rapidly. In western Karvas and Oklahoma the temperatures were much higher. Wichita, Kan., reported 26 degrees as the minimum there." A temperature of 29 degrees above was registered at 1 o'clock this after noon at Pittsburg.. Little Moderation Today. There was little moderation in th weather at Topeka today. The tem- perature has averaged seven degrees below normal Tor an. 12. There was scarcely u cioua in sight at two o'clock this afternoon. At that time the wind was blowing from the etst at the rate of six miles an hour. The forecast calls for increasing cloudiness and a moderation in tem perature in the next, 24 hours. The weather is expected to be more or iesn unsettled Tuesday. The wind direction I would indicate that there is a slight chance for precipitation, although thisj is not at ail certain. Shippers' forecast: "Protect 36 hour shipments north and east against tem perature rf from 10 to 15 degrees; south 15 to 20 degrees, and west, 20 to 25 degrees."

D., and Duluth, Minn., the mercury dropping to 20 degrees below sero at the former place last night, according' to official reports to the weather bureau. The cold wave developed in the northwest yes terday and moved southeastward. It now covers the Missouri and upper Mis sissippi valleys and western lake re gions.

A crowd of men, estimated at 10,000, seeking employ ment this morning at the plant of a motor company started serious riot ing when they were told, after they had stood in the freezing cold for sev eral hours that work could not be given them today. An officer was knocked down, his clothes partially torn off and bricks and other missiles were hurled through the windows and doors of the factory. After a fire hose had been turned on the crowd the rioters dispersed. Five arrests were made. The efforts of a policeman to turn the crowd away .from the -factory doors started the trouble. "We can't stand here and freeze to death," shouted some of the leaders, and a concerted rush was made toward the building en trance.

While Topeka Is sitting in an ex pectant mood, interurban lines from three parts of the state are being pushed In this direction. Today comes the report that the city soon will be asked to aid in the extension of the Kansas City, Kaw Valley Western railway an electric line that will have terminals at Kansas City and Topeka. The new company will ask Topeka to use her influence with the Union Pa cific in granting right of way privi leges to the interurban project. The Kansas City, Kaw Valley St Western road is graded as far as Bon ner Springs from Kansas City. The steel has been ordered, officials say, and the cars are built. The cars, by the way, will be the finest interurban rolling stock in the west. A recent court decision has given the Union Pacific the original right of way i through the state. This has taken hundreds of acres of land away from the farmers land which the in terurban wished to use in the con struction of the line to Topeka. Al ready commercial bodies of Lawrence have been asked to aid in persuading the Union Pacific to grant rights to tne electric roaa. Officials of the Kinni Knv Valley Western road declare that cars will be operated over their first j stretch of track by May 1 and that grading will be completed to Law rence in a short time.

Application for custody of Helen Beu lah Pinney, pending motion for a re hearing of the habeas corpus case in the supreme court, will be heard this afternoon by the court when the ques tion of temporary custody is prese. ted father, and Theodore Sulsen, the child's uncle. In a deoiainn ho.Ai .t. urday the court awarded custody of the child to the father after custody had been denied by the Douglas county probate and district courts. Immediately after the opinion in the case came from the supreme court. Sulzen's attorneys announced that they would make application for a reheat-in sc. They contend that Pinney, ordered his I w anu inree month's old DaDe to leave his home near Fredonia in 1906 and that the father is not at this time entitled to the custody of the child. Mrs. Pinney died several years ago anu on her death bed gave her daughter to her sister, wife of a wealthy Douglas county farn;or. Pinney denies- the allegation that he drove his wire and baby from home and declares they left his roof by "mutual consent."

None of the Bocalled administration trust bills which have been in the making In the judiciary committee made their appearance and probably will not until after President Wilson delivers his special message after he returns from the south. In the senate a congressional inves tigation of the Michigan copper mine strike proposed in c resolution by Senator Ashurst, was one of the fea tures of the reassembling. Both houses got down to work- promptly with the leaders determined to run the machinery at high speed and get away probably In June. For the first time since President Wilson ordered the special session last April, congress was without the overshadowing influence of any single. dominant Issue such as tariff or cur rency reform, to be fought out to the exclusion of other business. As a result, the work of the next few months In national legislative halls is expected to cover a wide range of subjects. Anti-trust legislation re mains as an important factor in Pres ident Wilson's legislative program, that must be considered by congress, but It will not displace other impor tant legislation, as did the bills for tariff and currency revisions. Work Laid Oat. Four general subjects will embrace much of the work of senate and house during the coming months. They are: Control of trusts and monopolies. Including legislation to prevent cold storage manipulation, unfair price (Continued on Page Two.) THE DAY III G0"Sr.SS A Number of Bills Introduced In Both Houses. Washington, Jan. 12.

Any alien laborer who within the year previous to his admission to the United States had not earned 30 per cent of the wages paid in this coun try for the same work would be ex eluded from the United States by a bill introduced by Representative Gil- lette of Massachusetts. It Is designed to bar cheap foreign labor. DOESN'T FIT ILLOIS. Decision in Kansas Case Is Said to Be Sot Applicable. Chicago, Jan. 12. The Illinois public utilities commission Is- thought by James E. Quan, chairman, not to have the power to change rates fixed be fore it was organized. This opinion was given after Quan had examined a gopy of the United States supreme court decision giving that power to the Kansas commission. It is the informal opinion of members of the commission that the decision is not applicable to Illinois but counsel may be asked to pass upon the ques tion. If the powers of the Illinois com mission are thus limited it will be a victory fdr advocates of "hpme rule for Chicago." TO LOOX FOH T.EDATES. An Investigation by the I. C. Suggested In Congress. C.

Numerous comnlalnts have come to the live stock sanitary eommusrioasg's office regarding Infected and dlsasirt cattle shipped to Kansas from eastern 1 states. New Tork state has apparently been the greatest offender. On several occasions recently the Mew Tork Stat veterinary has issued a certificate of good health to registered thorcugh- bred cows shipped to lrrnss dairy farms. The cows were "found tn be ills- eased and were ordered killed by depu ties from the live stock sanitary com missioner's office. There is apparently no recourse for, the Knniras stockman Out In Reno county several fancy cows were ordered killed. Fred Hey lick, a dairyman, recentl-r Inst a valu able animal. He complained that the 1 county board should bear at least a portion of the expense. Orayblll said he could offer no relief and the coun ty commissioners refui Krl to m mm. half of Mallck's loss except on a war- rant Issued from Qrayblll's office. OrayblU Sees No Relief. "There Is nothing that I can do," protested CraybllL "When a cow has been shipped Into the state-In a dis eased condition, T cannot Issue a war rant on the county commissioners for damages to the owner of the condemned animal. The law la explicit. All that I can do is to obey it." Many Kansas dairymen have In the last few months bought fancy pedigreed animals from eastern breeders. The cows were shipped to Kansas bearing a certificate of good health f m the state veterinary of the state from winch the sTiipmenT was made: TheB It was discovered that the -animal was dis eased and under the state law war: or dered killed. Apparently there is no' recourse for the farmer. He cannot auccessfuly prosecute a case against the state vet erinary of another state, cannot recover one-half his loss from the local hoard of county commissioners as is custom ary where a transfer was made within the state, and must bear the entire loss. "I do not know the exact number of cases of this sort which have been re ported," said Grayblll. "but farmers and stockmen In various parts of the state have been victims of the appar ently worthless health certificates Is sued for cattle sold to our people. It is an outrage, but there seems to be no relief." It is probable that the matter will be taken up with the Mew Tork state department In an effort to protect Kansas farmers against the purchase of infected live stock under worthless health cert.flcates. Orayblll has de clared that his department will make an investigation of the cases reported to his office and will use any effort which the law will permit that he mmf help the stockmen to recover for their losses.

Attorneys, attentats and others who hare been participating in the trials and Insanity hearings ot Harry K. Thaw received "Hm mmmlMrinn', Mnm4. which de cided that he is sane, with conflicting emotions some expressing pleasure at the findings, others reiterating con victions that Thaw would be a men ace If released on bail. William T. Jerome, who was dis trict attorney when Thaw killed Stan ford White and who has since con tinued to oppose every move to have him declared sane, refused to discuss the commission's report. He said he did not care to discuss his next move to have Thaw returned to Matteawan, from which he escaped five months ago. Dr. Austin Flint, alienist for the state in the proscution of Thaw and who has repeatedly asserted that Thaw was insane, declared that he feared for his life if the release of the prisoner were granted without restriction. Dr. Flin: -went, over the history of Thaw's life and attempted to show that he might be a model citizen for a time, but that tempta tions of drink and a desire for revenge would lead him back into his danger ous self. He concluded his statement by saying that "Thaw is highly insane and dangerous." Expressing a directly opposite view to that of Dr. Flint, Dr. Britton D. Evans, superintendent of the New Jer sey institute for the insane, said the commission's- report confirmed his testimony given at hearings where Thaw's sanity was at stake. He con sidered it a personal vindication, he said, in view of the criticism that was made on his testimony in behalf of Thaw both at the murder trials and sanity hearings. Dr. Kieb Is Surprised. Dr. Russell Kleb. superintendent of Matteawan hospital for the criminal in sane, expressed surprise when inform ed of the text of the report. "I have no desire to comment on It for publication," he said.

Mary Copley Thaw anr her fined here is an expression of my belief that he was insane." This decision of the commission which was appointed by Judge Edgar Aldrich, of the district court of New Hampshire, is the most important victory won by Harry K. Thaw in his fight for liberty since he escaped from Matteawan asy lum in the automobile on the morning of Sunday, August 17. It is generally agreed now that Thaw stands an excellent chance of being admitted to bail by Jude Aldrich pend ing the determination of the writ of habeas corpus sued out In hts behalf. The attitude of the court has given much hope to Thaw and his lawyers concerning the outcome of the habeas corpus proceedings now pending. What effect the finding of the commission will have on Judge Aldrich s decision on the question of New York's right to extra dite Thaw is problematical. The Commission's Findings. Concord, N. H., Jan. 12 Harry Kendall Thaw would not be a public menace if he were released on bail, according to the re port of the commission appointed by Fed eral Judge Aldrich to inquire into the state of Thaw's mentality. The report says the commission finds Thaw is not now afflicted with any of the mental diseases from which he was suf fering when he slew Stanford White. nile the commissioners say they have reached "definite and positive opinion as to the present mental condition of Thaw and his probable state of mind at the time of the homicide," they refrain from expressing this opinion in view of their Instructions from the court not to "em barrass any subsequent litigation where the broad question ot insanity might be involved." "Upon the question of menace -t dan ger through granting of ball, we ma v. however, be permitted; and probably are I ...w .v. .uiiliiui.J LW record our finding that whatever may have been the mental condition of Harry K. Thaw at the time of the homicide, upon wnlcb question we express no opin ion, he is not now suffering from any of the forms of mental disease alleged by the prosecution at time of the trials or sub sequently thereto, namely Maniac-depressive insanity paranoia, dementia praecox. or delusional Insanity. "In our opinion, it is reasonably prob able Harry Thaw's liberty under bail would not be dangerous or a menace to the public and safety." The report Is now in the hands of the clerk of the court and will be considered by Judge Aldrich earlv in the present week in connection with that ivtiKnn Thaw for admission to bail under the habeas corpus proceedings. In the rescript naming the commission- the judge said that after the plan of the report the in terested parties would have an opportun ity to be heard further before the question of ball was finally passed upon. No date for such hearing has been set aa yet. A careful physical examination to de termine the presence or absence of struc tural or functional disturbance of the nervous system was also made. "In Its studies and deliberations." the report continues, "the commission has in the main confined Its attention to facta, preferring t5 attach little importance, for its purpose, to the conflicting opinions of experts and other witnesses In adversary hearings." Jerome Stffl After Him. New Tork. Jan. it. William Trav el's Jerome, special attorney for New Tork state, in its effort to bring riarry inaw oacx to Matteawan, said today that the action of the New Hampsmre commission, la i n 1Y r ?T I "M I-. t-.$ f-T '-'Crocker' Right Down, to Bed Reck Tuesday and Wednesday I

N. B. Thaw sane would not affect the main issue. "Except that It may afford Thaw the opportunity of reaching some for eign country from which he cannot be extradited or of killing some man,' said Jerome, "the report of the com' mission is of no consequence. The only question involved in the proceed ings before Judge Aldrich is whether the governor of New Hampshire acted legally yhen he granted the extradi tion. Whatever way this question is decided it will go to the supreme court of the United States. I am sure we would appeal if reversed and certainly the other side would continue the fight. "If the supreme court uphold Gov ernor Felker in extraditing Thaw," Jerome continued, "Thaw will be brought back to New Tork and tried on conspiracy charges preferred against him following his escape from Matteawan and ultimately will be lodged back in the asylum whence he fled."- That Oommerdal dab Dinner. The dinner given complimentary to the members of the local organisa tion of the United Commercial Trav elers at the Commercial club at 6:80 o'clock Saturday was a "happy" af fair. The eighty or ninety drummer present evidently enjoyed the occa sion to the fullest extent. Many a laugh was produced as a result of the jokes handed out by the speakers, but there was also a serious side to' the meeting. The Commercial club and U. C. T. members are-resolved to co operate to their mutual advantage. The travelers will "sing" the praises of Topeka while on the road. M. Reinbach, grand councilor for Kansas-Oklahoma, was the first speaker. W. H. Davis told of the evo lution of the traveling man. Mr. Gatchell. who has been on the road over twenty years, spoke briefly. Justice Clark A. Smith of the supreme court, who is a member of both the U. C! T. and the Commercial club, made a talk. J WiU Kelley. secretary of the Commercial .club, represented that organization. W. W. Webb was also a speaker. E. L. Copeland, pres ident of .the club, was presiding offi cer. Ordered to Pay $lSO,0OO. St. Louis. Jan. 12.

There will be- a four-cornered con gressional fight In -the Third district this year, according to the declarations of political leaders and the final re suit Is a matter of speculation among i the workers of the district. Repub I llcans. Democrats, Progressives and Bo 1 eialists will contest for the election and Congressman Phil P. Campbell, who j has announced that he will be a candl I date for re-election, will havu three opponents In the November election. I In 19U. Campbell won his re-election by 831 votes in a three cornered con test. Now political dopesters are won dering whether the plan for a four cor nered fight in 1914 will indicate Camp- lw 1 1 ffafaa a. jtJt YAm m.W(fv nf two years ago. If the TWrt-district j riatrHW rit. ova m.aA 1 la MfilmfNf I that Campbell's chances for success will be lessened because of the situation in 1 Ms district. But a split among the Democrats and Socialists, it is claimed, might insure the Pittsburg man's elec tion to a seventh term In congress. Several times the Democrats have al most elected a congressman from the Third district. But Campbell always managed to poll enough votes to pull through the troubled waters. Now he faces a new situation. The Progressive I party, composed almost entirely of the progressive wing of the Republican party, will put a candidate in the field against Campbell and the result, may be different. To be sure the Progres sive sentiment in. the Third district is mm ,lmil. mm In mil n AthM ixitlnni of the state. Yet in 1912 Roosevelt polled 13,565 votes In the district as compared with 12,991 votes for Taft. Socialists Are Strong. But the narrow margin between the Roosevelt-Taft vote in the Third was offset largely by the heavy vote cast by the Socialists. The Third district Is the prize Socialist district of the state. In 1 til the district gave George D. Brewer, Socialist candidate for congress, 12,732 votes or but 833 less than the Roosevelt vote and with in 261 votes of the Taft showing. So Third district Socialists are not dis couraged and WiH try again next year. When the. votes were counted in 1912, Campbal! received 20,973 votes, as against 20,143 votes cast for Fran cis M. Brady, the Democratic nomi nee. If Progressive leaders are able to give their congressional nominee one half the votes cast for Roosevelt in 1912, political leaders see trouble ahead for Campbell. The Socialist vote, it is claimed, will be fully equal to that of two years ago. In fact, leaders claim It will be even larger. Their vote of 12,732 was more than double the vote.-registered for C. S. Bendure, the .Socialist nominee in 1910, when the; Third district Social ist polled 5,748 votes. An Increase is also shown in the Democratic -vote, but it is comparatively small. Jere miah D. Botkin in 1910 received 19, 43 rotes for congress, as compared with 20,771 for: Campbell. And now with 'the -'assurance that four parties- aH"to;: contest for' the congressionaf bhor of the Third dlsr trict, there is "graW uncertainty in the minds of politicians as to the result. Unless -the Progressive and Socialist parties can draw; almost equally from the Republican and Democratic ranks, the figures would indicate the elec tion of a Democrat. But the election is ten months away and no one as sumes to say what may happen in Kansas politics in ten months. RETURNS TO VORX. (Continued from Page One.) cutting, and other abuses directly af fecting retail business. Rural credits, .and othor legislation directly: affecting farmers and land owners, such as- good road improve ment and federal aid to vocational and agricultural education. Strengthening of the national de fense, through measures such as the "volunteeer army bin," already passed by the house; the Hay bill to create a new aviation division in the army; the Padgett bill to, put the naval mili tia on a war footing; the Hobson bill for a counsel of national defense; and the general administration pro gram for a two-battleship addition to the navy. Passage of the annual appropria tion bills, carrying m re- than $1,000, 000,000 for -support of the govern ment, and containing many items of general legislation that must be fought over in house and senate.' Aside from these general subjects, congress will take up early in the ses sion the settlement of labor problems I of far-reaching importance. Mem bers of both houses have announced their plans to call for federal inves tigation of the strike in the Calumet copper mining region and the forcible removal from Michigan of Charles H. Moyer, president, of the Western Fed eration of. Miners. While many house '-aders oppose the undertaking of s special investigation, It Is ex pected the senate jnay be more dis posed to authorize an investigation similar to that which It conducted last summer into the coal strike In West Virginia. Government Ownership. Government ownership of railroads, as proposed in the Alaskan railway bills, will be forced upon the atten tion of members of both bodies as soon as they take up work. In each branch,' a bin' to authorise the govern ment to build, railroads in the north ern territory has received the en dorsement qf a committee, and has been placed before ngress as "un finished business,"- where it must be taken up without delay. While the principle of government ownership, even as applied to Alaskan roads, has many opponents among the leaders of both houses, some leaders expected that a bill authorizing the proposed development will be pa send after a short debate. President Wilson's influence is strongly behind the plan for a system of rural banks and credit associations; and that project is expected to vie with trust questions, in the attention that will be given to it by the admin istration. The report of the rural credit commission which toured Eu rope last year has been carefully gone over by the president, and when leg islation is taken up It probatTy will be" along concerted lines, such as characterised action on ue general currency bill f' With, the prospects of a Hard con- I gresatonat campaign next summer ana 'fall, the Bemecratle forces are aaot I ions to ado? the ml credit laws, and several effective trust statutes, to the can go before the votes. From the outset of work leaders In both houses will attempt to guide legislation so j that appropriation bills can be com pleted early in the spring, and other Important measures disposed of in time to permit an early adjournment. The Seasnaa's But Opposition to the so-caUed "sea man's bin.' regulating the labor of sailors, has become so pronounced in the house that a hard fight promises to face that measure before, it can be passed. The- bill passed the senate last fall and an effort will be made to bring It up in the house for action at an early date. Woman's suffrage will also give both branches of congress a busy time. Advo cates of a constitutional amendment pen mittlng women to vote nave massed their forces In Washington, and are preparing for a concerted attack on senate and house, aided by many senators and repre sentative who favor general suffrage and who will advocate some positive action by congress endorsing It. The scope of trust-- legislation probably will not. be fully outlined for several weeks. Reoent developments In financial and commercial circles have convinced leaders in both houses that effective legls- JaOon to correct alleged abuses can be passed without seriousHr disturbing busi ness conditions. The president and his legal advisors will collaborate with the committees of senate and bouse on effec tive bills that will reach some of the more Important phases of the trust problem without requiring a revolution of corpora tion -jethods. National Defense. Congress has taken up the problems of national defense with unusual activity since December 1. The imminence of a crisis In this country's relations with Mexico has made more apparent the weakness of the military system of the country; and Important steps have al ready been made toward strengthening the power of the president 'and the execu tive branches of the government, to cope with sudden emergencies. The volunteer army bill, which passed the house and Is favorably regarded in the senate, would provide effective ma- r"TX-tilJ- nSJwI-Si-SrT- which has the endorsement of the house military affairs-committee, and of the war aepartment, wouia create an aviauon branch os. the army capable or nana ling f,,1?? li!??-" tJnln.K uvicuvi sua v-wio va i.isuioi o a uvdd sbjihis other bill' will be given unusual proml- nence during the balance of this session or congress. Diplomatic relations with Nicaragua and other Central American countries may give furtuer trouble to the senate. The first Nicaraguan treaty outlined by Secretary Bryan did not meet with the armrovar of th anat committee on for eign relations, because of the protectorate it would have established over the south ern republic The project is to be taken up again during the coming months; and it is expected that a general policy toward Central American countries will be out lined by the senate.

TTID TCPZA DAILY JCUHAr JAI7UAI2? 12, 1C14. 17EDB UH7 VALID Judge Sapp Decides Against "Missouri Pacific In Kansas. Question of Senate's. Action S Orer President's Veto. Columbus. Kan., Jan. 12. Judge Sapp. in district court Saturday, held the Webb and Mahln law constitu tional. County Attorney Boss filed in formation against the Missouri Pacific Railway charging it with violating the Mahin law on 25 counts, for bringing liquor into this county and delivering It. The railway moved to quash the indictment on the grounds that the Mahin law was unconstitutional and the information defective. Judge Sapp sustained the latter part of the motion, but gave the state leave to amend the information. The Missouri Pacific attacked the Mahin law, which prohibits bringing liquor into Kansas for unlawful purposes, on the grounds that the Webb law, which made the state measure possible by removing In toxicants from the protection of inter state commerce, is unconstitutional be cause not legally enacted. Brought in Senate Records. The railroad introduced senate rec ords to show that while two-thirds of the senators present at the time the vot. u takon February 28. 1913, voted to pass the Webb bill over President Taft's veto, the support for the meas ure was two-thirds of a vote less than a majority of the members-elect of the senate. The vote on the bill was 63 for, 21 against, and 11 not voting. The consti tution states that a two-thirds vote of the senate is required to pass a bill over the president's veto. In Febru ary. 1918, there were 95 members of the senate, which would require 63 2-3 votes to pass a vetoed bill. The supreme court never has given an interpretation of the phrase, "two-thirds of the sen ate." In 1858 the senate made a legislative ruling that "two-thirds of the senate" meant two-thirds of a majority, but the courts never affirmed the ruling. Decided for the State. County Attorney Boss contended that two-thirds of the members present is sufficient to pass a bill over the presi dent's veto, while the railway attor neys argued that the vote of two-thirds of the members-elect is required. Judge Sapp said he regarded this as a very close question and resolved the doubt in favor of the state. DIDNT KNOW IT WAS LOADED. Girl Killed Self While Demonstrating Harmlessness of Revolver. Kansas City, Jan. 12. Miss Nellie Russell, 18 years old, daughter of S. K. Russell of Blanche, Mo., accident ally shot and killed herself Sunday at the home of her brother at Kansas City, Kan.

Before Attnrnn General John Dawson left Leavenworth Friday, after a day's visit he expressed the belief that the town was "the driest in years," some thing which he attributed to his recent appointment of Malcolm McNaughton as an assistant attorney general, whose exclusive duty was to keep the lid on. Ratiirda v Mr. Dawson returned unex- nectedlv. and In one hour eight alleged Joints had been raided, and about four wagonloads or liquor coniiscaieo. Asked concerning his lormer state ment, the attorney general had noth ing to say. He intimated, however. that the Joint keepers had fallen into the trap set for them, and. declared 'it was his intention to send some of them to the penitentiary for contempt of court or the violation of Injunctions, as they repeatedly had been arrested be fore on similar charges. The next move of the attorney gen eral is being awaited with no little anxiety. It Is understood, however, that McNaughton will be called upon to make an explanation of the "wide openness" of the city under his admin istration. Dawson will call hi assistant before him Monday. It is also said to be his intention to summon Mayor Crancer and Chief of Polce Shaughnessy to learn why the prohibitory law has not been enforced here. WANT INTER URBAN LINE. Columbus Citizens Would Vote Bonds as a Bonos. Columbus, Kan., Jan. 12. Petitions have been presented to the city council for an election on issuing 810,000 bonds as a bonus to the Kansas Central Trac tion company for building an inter urban between Altamont and Colum bus. The Kansas Central has made the survey between Altamont and Colum bus and has ties and other material on the ground. Bonds already have been issued by Oswego and several town ships in Labette county. The Kansas Central proposes to build a line between Coffeyville and Altamont to connect there with the line to Columbus. Co lumbus is the objective point because the road can connect the oil and gas fields of southern Kansas with the coal, lead and sine fields of southeast Kan sas and the adjoining part of Mis souri.

Ex asperated by the unwillingness of in ternal revenue officers to aid in the running down of bootleggers, once the bootleggers have obtained internal revenue licenses. Mayor Kerr of this city has addressed letters to Senator Bristow and Congressman Campbell asking if it is not "time to take the protecting hand of Uncle Sam off the booze business in Kansas." The mayor says when the internal revenue officer comes to Independence on a scouting trip he is given every assistance by city officers in running down suspects, but "that he will not give us the name of a one he collects from."

Adv, lATCLETESieiDuS British Golfers and Tennis Players to Enter Matches. 6. F. Corey of England to Play Jay Gonld in Tennis. New York, Jan. 12. In the long list of International contests which are being scheduled for the present year none stands out with the peculiar uniqueness wmcn win surrouna tne court tennis contests between Jay Gould of the United States and G. F. Covey of Eng land. This match, which will be played in Philadelphia late in March brings together the American amateur cham pion and the world's professional title holder. That an amateur and nrofes- sional should meet for a world's cham pionship is unusual in sporting compe titions, but the fact that Jay Gould is a member of a family famous for its wealth, even in a country of immense fortunes. deprives this meeting, with the professional employed by the Hon. Neville 8tephen Lytton at his home court, Crabbet Park, Sussex, England, of sinister reflection on amateurs. Although the final details of the match are still to be settled, interest in tne contest is rapidly increasing both in this country and England. This is particularly true in English amateur sport circles, where court tennis is in great vogue. Not only is the outcome awaited with great Interest because of tne remarkable ability of both Gould and Covey, but the fact that It is the first time a championship match haa been arranged between an amateur and professional, and the first time the championship match has been played outside England, lends additional zest to the contest. It Is- understood the match would be the best seven out of thirteen sets and that American balls will be used. There Is little variation between English and American courts, but the balls differ considerably. As a result, it is believed Covey will arrive in this country a full month be fore the match in order to accustom himself to the balls and the court upon which the match will be played. Covey. who is professional to Mr. Lytton, the British amateur champion, is 83 years old. The American amateur who Is five years younger than Covey, has for some seasons stood out as the leading exponent of court tennis In this coun try. Champion Golfers Coming. According to private advices from England a trio of best of the Brit ish professional golfers will compete in the United States open championship at the Midlothian Country club near Chicago, next summer. George Dun can, James Braid and J. G. Taylor are named as the possible invaders, al though the personnel Is still subject to change. Taylor and Braid together with Harry Vardon have each won the English open championship five times and it is expected the open champion ship to be held at Prestwich will break this triangular tie. Duncan holds the world's record for both thirty-six and seventy-two holes, made in the same tournament last year. The occasion was the championship of Lucerne Lakes, which is played over two courses, the first thirty-six holes at Axenfels and the second thirty-six at Lucerne. Duncan's scores were sixty- two and fifty-six at. Axenfels, and seventy-one and .seventy-four at Lucerne. The fifty-six. is a world's' record for eighteen, the 118 for the two rounds at Axenfels a world's record for thirty-six and the total of two hundred and sixty three broke the world's record for four runds.

Wasn't he the man who fined the Standard Oil Company 29, 000,000. Congressman Mann has not viewed with alarm for a week.

Probably the trouble with those northwestern Indians who are said to be destitute is that they have neglect ed to get into the moving picture business. Just at this time one can't help wondering whether the self-busting Interlocking directorates will cut as many melons this year as the self busting trusts. What's the use in getting excited over capital punishment? Last year there were 9,000 murders and homi cides in this country and only eighty eight legal executions. And the announcement of Professor Doollttle that the world will last only 15,000,000 years longer should be a warning to the lawyers in the Harry Thaw case to hurry up. In spite of the inference to be ob tained from the news columns, it is probable that occasionally a man who does not hold a state contract is sent to the penitentiary in New Tork. A woman has presented Cincinnati a painting worth 1400,000. And think of how many nifty fielders and star slab artists this sum would buy, and how much Clncinanti needs them. Mayor Mitchell of New Tork has been presented with a silver loving cup by 900 of, his fellow citizens. He will be in luck If, at the expiration of his term, he is not presented with an old garbage can. Neither was it at all necessary for the federal receivers of the Kansas Natural Gas company to go to the trouble of drawing up a formal state ment to- make known the fact that they were unable to find a solution of the gas shortage problem.

The agricultural schools nave the first requirements for culture, writes Lincoln Steffehs in Harper's Weekly. They have students who want to learn. The Average student at a "regular" college is one of the funniest things on earth. He has no interest In learn' lng; he Is hardly wlmng to bo taught. One' reason for this, of course, la that ha has no Intellectual curiosity. His mmd Is an Infant's, unawakened; for tha schools don't tell him what he needs to know; they cram him with what the colleges require him to pass on. So they go on "passing," for the most part, after they are In college. And many of them are just plain loaf- wlth a Httto sporting Interest In football or athletics. Even that Isn't cuHuraL There to culture to be had In sport. and since that Is a real student Inter est, it might serve as a starting point for a living system of education. And there Is, by the way, a sculptor In charge of athletics at the University of Pennsylvania. If they would put the Greek department under him, and he would see to it that the professors of Greek took their departure from the heroic and physical interest, the stu dents might see the relation to life of a dead language. But, no, Greek Is science now; so Is Latin. Therefore the experiences and reflections of these two great peoples are lost to the life of the American people who are go ing through the same experiences. Greek' and Roman history s brought into relation with American life. Ton hear it cited from the soap boxes on street corners, and with some understanding, too. The i- "dema gogues" seem to have read all history from the cultural point of view; to get the meaning out of it for modern life. And, of course, history Is full of right. not only on our past and present, but on our future, too. There Is light on our lives in anything and everything: in political economy and chemiatry; in astronomy and metaphysics and poetry. And that Is culture, and I ad mit that tfce soap-box orators have some of it and are giving it to the common people on the streets. And college students get It there, too. Many an undergraduate has had his mind opened to the questions of life and to the sources of nght upon It In his college curriculum,' at street or so cialist club meetings. Culture is like life itself: It must be. It has. been noted often that gradu ate students who loafed through' their undergraduate years, woke up -In the law school or medical department, and worked with Industry and ability. Why Is that? The answer Is obvious. They saw the relation of law or medi cine to life to their Uve. The his tory they "took" had a relation to life, too; and to their lives. So had Greek and poetry, English and anything of fered them. But it "wasn't so taught. It was taught, probably, as abstract knowledge, as science. Why? There's theory, and a cause to account for that. The theory is that science exists for the sake of knowledge; not for use, but for Its own sweet sake. Like the theory of art. Nothing exists for Its own sake: not even the stars. Every thing is related to everything else, and the whole Is greater than any part greater and more Interesting. But the cause of this anti-social, anti-cujtural point of view. In faculties is that the teaching is done very large by ex grinds who learned what they knew out of a moral sense of duty, had no lives themselves, and do not see the relation to Hfe of which they learned. In other words, our faculties, like our scientists, lack culture. They are day- laborers In the fields of knowledge; that's one reason why they get a day laborer's pay. And they do not know what their piles of facts mean till a cultural mind Like Darwin's comes along and sees the significance of them to what human beings are think ing and doing. Just as the law schools have stu dents who are interested In their studies because they, are intending to practice law, and just as the medical schools have students absorbed In their clinics because they are going to make a riving at It so the agricul tural and engineering schools, which are multiplying out west and spread ing toward the east, have the advan tage of a student body who are learo lng what they are intending to prac tice. Parents. legislators. voters and the youth of the west, both boys and girls, are all for these schools. Some of the old-fashioned "cultural" col leges out west, the state universities, get money and live only by hanging on to the coattalls of the cow-colleges. WOMEi IN JAPAN. From the beginning of Japanese history to the introduction of Chinese civilization, women occupied a very high place in Japan and filled posi tions of Importance and honor in state, religion and household, says the Japanese Society Bulletin. Several empresses at different times ruled the empire. The greatest lights In the world of pure Japanese literature are both women Murasaki Shikiku and Sel Shonagon. Their superb produc tions "Genji Monogatarl" and "Ma- kurano Soshl" are strong proofs of a large measure of liberty and of high position in society enjoyed by women of the time. It was chiefly the Confucian-doctrine of the three obedi ences obedience,, while yet unmar ried, to a father; obedience, while married, to a husband; obedience. while .widowed, to a son that changed the primitive.' state of com para tire freedom and independence of women. Buddhism and feudalism contributed also -to place women in an inferior position and state of de pendence. Many Americans assume that wo men still occupy an inferior position in Japan under the law. But this is not true. During the past 69 years female education- has spread through-1 out. un country; western jurispru dence has superseded Chinese, aad a great revolution has come over the social and legal position of woman. .The new civil code of Japan created a new legal woman. It proceeds upon the principle of equality of the sex. and makes no distinction betwa men and women In their enjoyment and exercise of private rights so long as the woman remains single. She may now become the head of the house; -she may exercise parental an thority over her child; if her hus band be dead, she may adott chil dren: she may make contracts, ac quire or dispose of property, In her own name. In short, she may .be. a party to any legal transaction so long as she remains unmarried. When she is married, her state of coverture obliges her to obtain the Dermianton of ner husband before doing certain acts, such as contracting debts, irmti- lu5 tegai proceeding, entering Into contracts of personal service. ate. But even though she does these atn wimout her husband's permission, they are not void, but only voidable. JOURNAL E3TRJES VW At-sh wliaa tAMKIasMik eU. a. 1 Z vas3SM ,Uhl BWHTO -wivtsu vy some one.

He had not cared so much when his other children had failed to take an Interest in the things he cared about; but Dahlia had promised from babyhood to Inherit his love of science. He could remember when he found her poring over Kant In his study at the age of ten. But now. with the birth of this new interest, she had even forgotten her daily habit of asking him how things bad gone at the university. Instead of being at the gate to meet him when he came home from college, evenings. she was now always to be heard prac ticing some fancy dance in the attic. No. I can't take time to go." he told her firmly when she appeared at his study-door one evening, and asked him to go to the town hall with her. But it's our first performance. rroine!'- sh cried. His eyes swept her short ballet costume and mounted to her bright, young face. She seemed strangely In contrast tn that ilnntv hAlr.linil room. 1 "Please go!" she coaxed, still Un gering. "Forget Bertie Spencer and Willie loOCKe for a while. It will do you good. If you don't go I'll feel as if you were displeased with me." This brought him to his feet. It brought a forced smile to his lips. am not displeased with you. No, in deed, my child," he assured her quickly, starting for his hat. As he walked along the street be side her he meditated on the danger or slipping into displeasure from dis appointment. Indeed, the line be tween the two feelings was insidiously imperceptible In moments of agita tion, he reflected,. "Oh, yes." he exclaimed with start, becoming suddenly conscious mat Danua had been- saying some thing for some moments. "What Is It, my child?" I said." repeated the girl, in a slightly wounded tone, "that Mrs. Van CJortlandt has offered me an oppor tunity to go to New Tork with her and study at a theatrical school. I've been telling you about it ever since we left home. Prof fie! I was afraid you weren't listening. And I've been asking you if you d miss me very much!" From her voice, it was plain that she thought he would miss his beloved scientific pursuits more, if those could be snatched from him. He still remained silent. It was not the silence of analytical meditation now. A thousand words rushed to his lips, but he held them back. He knew his voice could not be trusted. "Well, may I go?" she repeated In sistently, as they, neared the halL "Oh, I've got to know before I dance tonight!" He looked down into her eager. anxious face. He opened his lips, but no words came. Then be tried an swering her in the language of ac tion, and succeeded; a smile and a nod of his head conveyed to her surprise and delight at hearing her good for tune. Right there, one the brightly lighted steps of the building, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him gatefully. "Now I can dance!" she cried "Oh, Proffie! I was afraid you wouldn't approve. I knew you could spare me. When he looked about him, after the effects of this remark had passed away, he was standing alone on the steps. Through the open door he could see a crowded house and a rising curtain, wearily, ne went in. But he heard or saw nothing .that went on across the footlights, until after the second act. when Dahlia came on to dance. -A thrill of disap pointment shot through him when her eyes did not search the house to find him. In their distant, triumphant gaze, raised a little above the level line of vision, he read that she was not dancing to a handful of people in a small college town, nut to a packed theater, brilliant with lights and jew elry. Already, his little embryonic scholar this favorite child whom he had fed on science from birth was on Broadway was lost In the maze of mundane pleasure "Like the rest of the brood,"' he thought sadly: 'Well, I have my books!i." But he had not his books long. After Dahna had gone,- and he had listened to the last whistle of her train, he marched grimly, determinedly, to the bookshelf which held his collection of philosophers and pulled down Spencer and Kant and Spinoza and Locke, and the rest, and threw them Into the grata Then he knelt and touched a- match to them. He poked them viciously. He hated them ta every atom of his being: It was they who had held him .In thrall all those years, which might have been devoted to winning the compan ionship of his favorite child. It was they who had persuaded him to try to bind dowal her young, fun-loving mind to misty formulas and facta When the last page had withered he got tip wearily and reached for his pile of textbooks. No matter, how changed his- home life, his work at the university must go on. Home Hfe could net affect that. Tet this work was affected. To bis ahum, he found that he could no longer keep his mind on It. Several times during the afternoon he caught himself gazing out the wlnduw when he should have been trying to discover flaws tn the blackboard work, HIS hand trembled aad dropped the chalk as fie saw her ssajlng sut'igs the foot lights out in the world about which she knew piti- ruuy iittta. "I won't assign you any work for tomorrow," he surprised his boys by announcing. "We'll er have a test to morrow." He had not planned to have a test this week, but somehow It seemed easier tonight to announce one than to assign textbook work for the next day. His head ached as he toft the recitation room. Nor did It cease to ache when he came in sight of his gate his cheer 'ess gate. Of course, no one had wait so there for him. lately, yet some one need to.

The Merchants' National bank of Topeka has taken the steps looking' towards operating under the new cur rency law. The president. F. W. Freeman, and the directors are en thusiastic over the law. and believe that only pood will result from it. Mr. Freeman stated today that he believes that every national bank will and every state bank should fall in line. He feels that the new law should have the co-operation of ev ery citizen. He said today: I "The board of directors of the I careful study of the new banking and i currency law, has signified to the or ganization committee at Washington our intention of remaining in the na tional system under the newly pre scribed conditions. The new law seems to provide for the 'elastic cur rency' so long needed and so long l sought. "I believe that every national I bank will, and that every state bank or trust company should engage under the new law and give it .the hearty support that will insure its effective i ness. "With such concerted action the re I suits must prove both beneficial and profitable to the financial interests and the whole people. "I am one of those who thinks that I no state law, in conflict with the fed i era! constitution or statutes, should i exist and that the co-operation of ev ery citizen is necessary to make any law duly effective. "The wisdom and Intelligence of many of our strongest minds has de veloped this new regulative measure, known as the 'Glass -Owens bin.' and it certainly deserves and the business interests of every kind of the whole country demand that it have a fair trial. "The 'results can only be good. Since the, passage of this act I have observed an increased optimism among our patrons and friends and I anticipate for Kansas, particularly Topeka, a prosperous nineteen fourteen."

HOT TEA BREAKS A COLD TRY THIS Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as the German folks call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It is inexpensive and entirely vege table, therefore harmless. Adv. AboatfciiiRlIa The Euclid Orchestra will give the program for the Dougherty Success club meeting tomorrow evening. It will be an especially interesting'" one. and everybody is invited. The Success club has something do ing every Tuesday evening. The new Manual of Dougherty's Shorthand is attracting much favor able comment. Miss May Wise Is doing stenograph' ic work in the office of the State Grain Inspector. Miss Lula Hungerford has taken a position as stenographer with the State Agricultural college at Manhat tan. The lectures on general accounting and business law that Mr. Westman, principal of the commercial depart ment. Is giving to his students are adding wonderfully to the interest and value of the commercial course. Ernest R. Chamberlln began work last Tuesday as stenographer with the bureau of animal industry, Washing ton. D. C, and in connection with his work will complete his college course at the George Washington university, and then take a law course at the same institution. Mr. Chamberlin at tended Dougherty's Business College only two months, half days, but with some additional work at home was able to pass the civil service examina tion with such good grades that this appointment was quickly offered to him. This is another illustration of how stenography may be made to help In working out one's ambitions. There is nothing like it as a stepping stone in almost any direction. James S. McKee lately resigned his position as stenographer with the state engineer at Manhattan to go to Los Angeles. Cal., where he has a fine stenographic position with the Los Angeles Electric Light company. E. J. Payne of Toledo, Ohio, has changed without any help, except the text book, from the Pitman system to Dougherty's shorthand and has cre ated something of a sensation among his fellow stenographers by his in creased efficiency. He is enthusiastic saying that he not only writes much raster wltn Dougherty's than with the Pitman, but that he is also able to read his notes very much more read- ily and accurately exactly the same j experience that every one has who makes the change. Mr. Payne also reports that some who have seen his work will follow his example. i Advertisement. Kansas City, Jan. 12. Upon the request of the county prosecutor, the fourth trial of Dr. B.

Generals Salasar .That Ordinance Mkig Mayor ,f, orozco with fw tonon, appar- Pu-caftfllng Agent. Commissioners Refer to It as Resurrection of Power; The ordinance making the mayor of the city the clty'a purchasing agent will probably be repealed.' At a meet- Ing of the city commission today, Com- mlsaloner William Porter made a mo tion that the city attorney draft an .'ordinance repealing ordinance No. .2752, the ordinance in. question. All voted in favor of Porter's motion ex- cept Mayor Cof ran, who voter against lit. Although the ordinance has been In existence since 1907, it has been in force only a few months. In making Ms motion Commissioner Porter re- ferred to it, as the "recently resur rected purchasing ordinance." Last summer an ordinance was framed creating the office of city purchasing 'agent. It met opposition from. Com missioner Porter and was dropped Without being put to a vote of the commission. But in dropping the new ordinance, Mayor Cof ran resurrected the old .ordinance which makes him purchas ing agent and served notice that it would be enforced, and since that time all the commissioners have had to go to Mayor Cofran and get his O. K. for the purchase of anything for the city not specifically provided for by-other ordinances. The action today indi cates that this procedure is displeasing to the members of the commission, but that it is agreeable to Mayor Cof ran. Under the ordinance as it now exists, the mayor has quite a "whip-hand" over the other commissioners, and ap parently the commissioners have de cided to take this power away from him. The ordinance provides that written requisitions for all goods and materials for each month must be made by the heads of departments on the mayor at the the first of each month, and reads in part as follows: "The mayor, upon receipt of such requisition, if he deem it advisable, must endorse his approval upon the same and shall dispose of such requi sition as follows: He may, upon com petitive bid, purchase the goods at the lowest cash price, subject to any agreed cash discount; or he may turn the requisition over to the city clerk, with instructions to purchase on com petitive bid, at lowest cash price, sub ject to any agreed cash discount, or he may return the requisition to the office or head of department, mak ing the same, .with instructions to purchase at the lowest competitive cash' prize, subject to any agreed dis counts; provided that all requisitions contemplating large expenditures, shall be referred by the mayor to the council for disposition, and no officer or head of department shall purchase any goods or materials of any kind whatsoever, for the use of the city, until he shall have on file In his of fice a requisition in writing duly ap proved bv the mayor as his authority for such act."

The distress of the refugees is in tense. They have scant food and no shelter. Men, women, children, dogs, chickens and cattle are packed togeth- i cr in a space covering several acres. About them are scattered all the wreck and turmoil which they brought in fleeing from the Ojinaga battle. Urgent requests for the immediate removal of the soldiers and refugees to some other place were sent by Major McNamee to the war department, through Brigadier General Bliss.

Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 12. Louis S. Posner of New York and Alexander New of this city have been appointed receivers for the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf railway, according to an announcement by Mr. New, who is chief counsel' for the railroad, today. The action was taken by Judge Wm. C. Hook in the federal court in St. Louis. j Judge Hook gave a hearing in the case in St. Louis last Thursday. Wil liam Keneflck of Kansas City, builder and promoter of the road, who was named temporary receiver by Judge Hook several weeks ago, asked to be relieved of the duty. The railroad, which is planned to connect City and the Gulf of Mexico, has been completed from Denison, Texas, to Baxter Springs. Kan. It was an nounced -that the railway difficulties were temporary, and that they were due to the failure of a Paris bank which was supplying money for- the road. f 7AShi::gto!i did it.

Ishi seems to have been closely asso ciated with the medicine man of his tribe; besides the usual customs, he pre serves many of the more highly de veloped arts and crafts. In the manufacture of arrow heads, flint and -obsidian were used by the Yanas. Obsidian Is volcanic glass, occurring in part of California in the shape of dark opaque bowlders of small size. When splintered either by stone mallets or by another rock it appears as brownish or dark gray glass, uneven in color. Ishi breaks these bowlders by- hitting them with another rock. Having ob tained fragments varying from S to 4 inches long. 1 to IV inches wide, and about a quarter of an inch thick, he is prepared to flake his haka or heads. The first flakes are large and freely: made. calculating to give by wide transverse line of cleavage, and to es tablish the fundamental outlines of the point. Later these flakes are smaller and more like finishing touches. The tool he now uses is not horn but iron or soft steeL Smaller tools are. made of wire nails driven Into wooden uandles Inches long. These are filed to a flat rounded point, something like a blunt screw driver. In working .ne obsidian this edge Is held vertical to the stone and the shaft of the flaking tool in the plane of the left palm. Apparently the soft metal permits the glass to make a small dent in it which engages itte two and allows pressure being applied to the edge to be flaked. As Ishi develops the form of his ar rowhead to a graceful acute angle, he changes to a finer flaking tool, and resting the stone on his protected thumb, he then makes the little inden tations near the base, which permit the sinew to' hold the head of the arrow. Never once during this process does he Mr or beat the obsidian. No rough force la required, just Patient, artfurdexterlty and. strength-' of fingers.

Among last season's productions of special merit a prominent place must be given to "The Grain of Dust" by the late David Graham Phillips, whose wanton assassination some time ago at the hands of a lunatic stirred the literary world. The stage version of this admirable book is by Louis Evan Shipman and James K. Hackett is using it as his vehicle again this sea son. Its production marked his re turn to actor-management. Mr. Hack ett brings a company of exceptional merit to the Grand on Tuesday night. Almost every one has read "The Grain of Dust," but for the benefit of the few who have not, a slight sketch of the story may serve.

Equally successful in a Boclal way, he is engaged to pre eminently the "catch of the season," Josephine Burroughs, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy "captain of finance." Everything is running smoothly until Norman suddenly dis covers the hidden and unsuspected charms of a quiet little blonde type writer, Dorothy Hallowell, who works in his office.

The work cost In the neighborhood of $250,000, and the pictures he secured are being shown in six reels today and tomor row at the Best theater. One of the most interesting scenes shown is one taken at a water hole where the various wild animals gather to quench their thirst. -Ferocious beasts who are the bitterest of ene mies use the same supply of water unmolested, being driven to peace by a common need. Parts of Africa are subject to drouths of long duration, and It happened that the Ralney ex pedition was in the field after five successive years of drouth when prac tically all streams were dry. Six weeks were spent in this one feature alone. A Uon hunt with the final shooting of the lion; a chase of a leopard by dogs, two of which climb a tree after the beast; a fight between a native and an ostrich, and many other scenes all go to make-what Is pro nounced by Prof. Osborne of the Mu seum of Natural History at Washing ton as the greatest contribution te science in the last decade.
