The lowest temierature of the season Is the order o I things. Since Z o c 1 o o k this morning at To peka the wind has been hitting a pace varying between 25 and 80 miles an hour and carrying with It light snow. Sleet began to fall at 6 o'clock Thursday evening but soon turned to snow. The snow was still falling today but was not at all heavy. The depth of the snow up to 9 o'clock to day was but one and one-fift h inches. The ther mometer at that time registered one degree above zero. Below zero weather is reported from several Kansas points. The temperature may be ten degrees below zero by Saturday morning. While a fall in temperature at To peka was scheduled by the weather man, the cold wave that was slated to sweep over the northern part of the state was not expected to be felt to any great extent at the capital city. However, the storm was sidetracked in its course and came this way, working up no small degree of energy. The previous low temperature mark at Topeka for this season was 9.4 degrees on Dec. 29. Never in the history of the local weather bureau had there been so high a minimum temperature up to this date. The .coldest weather of the season is just as likely to Lome in February as in January, according to "Sunny" Flora, the local observer. A Glimpse of Sunshine. By 2 o'clock this afternoon the sun was making a desperate effort to shine and the snowflakes in the air were few and far between. The total depth of enow 6n the ground was one and one half inches, which when melted meas ured .12 of an inch of water. The wind was hitting a 24 mile pace from the northwest. Reports from over town are that the gas pressure is low. It was all right up to 6 o'clock this morning, but by break fast time there wasn't enough to give much heat. Worst to Come. The forecast indicates that the worst ia yet to come. It reads: "Unsettled weather tonight and Saturday with probable snow flurries; colder In east portion and much colder in extreme east portion of the state; moderate to brisk northerly winds." Shippes' forecast: "Protect 36 hour shipments north and west against tem perature of 15 degrees below zero; east and south zero to ten degrees below zero." According to the local weather (Continued on Page Two.) WORST OF YEAR. Is Washington Report on Missouri Valley Weather. Washington, Feb. 6. "The severest weather of the year is now prevailing in the upper Missouri valley and the plains states, as far south as Okla homa and the Panhandle of Texas," the weather bureau in a special bulle tin announced today. "Temperature at Havre, Mont., this morning was i degrees below zero. The unusually low readings have been attended by snow, high winds and gales. "East of the Mississippi there have been numerous thunder showers in the southern states, and snow in the northern regions. Thus far the snow has been comparatively light, but in dications point to heavy snow in the lake regions and northern New Eng land. "The cold wave will overspread the east gulf states, the middle Mississippi valley and the lower Ohio valley in the next twenty-four hours, and will reach the Atlantic coast states from Florida to Maine by Sunday morning." Kansas City, Feb. 6. The coldest weather of the winter struck Missouri, Kansas. Oklahoma and northern Texas today. A biting north wind with steely sleet came with the cold over most of the region. Early in the day the tem perature reached zero over most of Kan sas and western Missouri and still was falling. Ten degrees below zero was registered in northwest Kansas. Wind cold and sleet caused great suffering to uve stocK wnicn in most localities had not been fortified against a tem perature from 25 to 35 degrees below that of yesterday. The hiirh Pfit wind velocity registered in reports to the local office of the United States weath er bureau was 48 miles at Oklahoma City. The temperature at Oklahoma uixy was o a Dove and falling ranirtlv The temperature here reached 7 aoove. At i. joe, Mo., it touched zero. According to the local observer tha nM wave is central today in Missouri and sweeping toward the east and south east. Still lower temperatures tonight with continued cold tomorrow was the prediction for Missouri, Kansas and UKianuna. In Wichita, Kansas, the cold dron ped so suddenly householders were caught quit unprepared. Water pipes, in hundreds of houses froze and 1 burst. Many persons nursed frozen fingers, toes and ears. At Hutchinson mail carriers collect ing mail from boxes carried torches to thaw out the frozen locks. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6. The storm which started early yesterday in west ern Nebraska and swept over the en tire state during the night became a blizzard here today with the tempera ture at six below zero. Heavy snow accompanied by a high wind fell over the entire state and western Nebraska points, report temperatures from 12 to 16 degrees below. TUNNELWRECKED Seren Americans Are Bettered to Be Held Prisoners. Burning Passenger Train Sent Into It by Bandits. Juarez, Feb. 6. Seven American rail road men are believed to be prisoners In the Great Cumbre railroad tunnel through the Continental Divide. The tunnel is in ruins, and the Mexican I Northwestern passenger train which I left here Wednesday morning is a charred wreck at the mouth of the tunnel as the result of the depredations of members of the -Castillo gang of I bandits. This information amplifying reports last night from Chihuahua was recelv i ed here today at the headquarters of the railroad. It corrects last night's statements that it was the Drake tun nel, a smaller bore south of Cumbre, that was destroyed. The Cumbre tun nel is the largest on the road, 3,700 feet long and required 18 months to con struct. The names of the prisoners re ported here are: M. J. Gilmartin. su perintendent of the road; H. Schoefleld, superintendent of terminals at Juarez; Lee Williams, assistant manager of the railroad commissary: E. J. McCutch eon, engineer of the passenger train; J. B. Webster, conductor; H. F. Mar dees, express agent. A seventh American Is believed to have been on the train, and Ameri cans also were employed on the freight train which was used to fire the tunnel. Vffla Is Mad. General Francisco Villa, command er of the rebel forces, and now at Chihuahua, was enraged at the news, and in a telegram which passed through here today instructed Gen eral Felipe Macias, operating In the Casas Grandes district, to shoot ev ery man who could not satisfactorily account for his presence there. The bandits are believed to be op erating in two forces of about 30 men each, as Cumbre is a hard day's ride from El Valle, near Casas Grandes, where 22 of the robbers were cap tured and shot last Tuesday. The other detachment, believed to be under Castillo himself, did the wrecking probably in revenge for the fate of his men at KlValle. He captured a train of stock cars Wednesday and ran It into the tunnel where it was set on fire. The tunnel was a blazing mass that evening when the passenger train from Juarez was captured and sent headlong Into the roaring furnace which was belching flames and smoke from its mouth. Castillo then burned the two neigh boring bridges, one of them construct ed of steel, and ran two locomotives over the embankment into the deep canyon below. KANSAS POSTMASTERS Another Lot Confirmed Today by the Senate. Washington, Feb. 6. The follow ing presidential postmaster appoint ments in Kansas have been confirmed by the senate: William T. Hayes, Al mena; John L. Koebele, Burns; Geo. W. Lank, Solomon; Walter R. Long, Kingman; 8. P. Reser, Hartford; Col umbus E. Roughton, Jetmore; D. O. States, Buffalo. Minnie J.

POLITICALGOSSIP Capper Is Still Doing the Hesi tation Waltz While Scott Goes Straight Ahead for a Platform. DAVIES ADJURES I0LA VM Veteran Progressive Editor Knows Where to Find Scott. Mnrdock Cleans Up This Week in the Fifth. In the prolonged delay of the Arthur Capper announcement for governor many Republicans have mentioned the possible candidacy of Charles Pi Scott of Iola as a probable nominee of the Republicans. Scott is classified as a regular Republican, believes in the sound, fundamental and traditional principles of his party and Is ever ready and willing to fight for the things la which he believes. It is that stand that has made Scott strong In Kansas and brought to him the respect of the men who differ with htm In views on public issues. Now Gomer Davies, veteran editor of the Concordia Kansan and a Progres sive of the most pronounced type, pays tribute to -Scott and pushes along the Iola editor's boom for governor. Davies has an ingrowing hatred for trimmers and straddlers and has used the edi torial columns of his paper to point with derision to the desertion of the Progressive cause by Senator Bristow. So, while he differs with Scott regard ing many things, he admires the Scott stand and declares it would be a real temptation to support him for gover nor. "If Charles F. Scott of Iola should be nominated for governor of Kansas (Continued on Page Two.) SUN ATTACKS THE A, P. Tries to Use the Federal Government as a Oat's Paw. Washington, Feb. 6. The Sun Printing Publishing association of New Tork has presented a statement to Attorney General Mc Reynolds ask ing that he institute, in behalf of the government, proceedings against the Associated Press, for violation of the Sherman act, alleging refusal to sell news to the New York Sun. The newspaper declined to apply for membership in the Associated Press and claimed the right to buy the news of the .organization. The officers of the Associated Press have notified the attorney general that any information In their possession will be cheerfully placed at his disposal. TOWN WITHOUT IttWSHSSrKSSSS Mineral Officer Moves Away But Tries to Hold Job. Mineral, Kan., Feb. 6. Mineral doesn't know whether or not it has a mayor. The members of the city council declare the office is vacant, but despite the fact that the legal ad vice has been sought, they don't feel legally equal to the occasion of for mally declaring the vacancy and call ing a special election to choose a sue- Several weeks ago C. B. Coss re stgned the mayoralty. Frank Lan ning, president of the council, had moved to Scammon several months previously, but he claimed that his re moval from Mineral had not altered his status as an official of the city. Two weeks ago the council, in a reso lution, informed Loaning that if he did not take up his residence in Min eral again by the following Saturday night ouster proceedings would be brought against htm. He did not move back. Petitions charging dereliction now are being circulated asking the coun cil to oust Lanning. Meantime the council has met several times and transacted business without his pres ence. Sentiment is almost unanimous ly in favor of declaring the office va cant. i MARINESpNDED Biotlng and Pillaging Is Start ed at Cape Haltlen. Commander of the Nashville Sends 80 Men Ashore. I wusuuiion, r eD. taoun ana pil laging broke out In Cape Haitien to such an extent that Commander Bost wtrk of the gunboat Nashville landed 80 men to protect Uvea and property of foreign residents. Commander Bostwiflk took action at the request of foreign consuls. In structions to his landing for e were to protect Americans and all foreigners and their property. Davilmar Theo dore, who proclaimed himself pro visional president before his defeat at Gonaives at the hands of the Zamor brothers, is trying to set up a govern ment at Cape Haitien, where he re treated after the fight. He has ap pointed a cabinet, but, according to Commander Bost wick's report, appears to be losing control of his forces. Latest reports from Captain Russell of the battleship South Carolina, at Port Au Prince, expressed apprehen sion for the safety of the city. How ever, he reports no organized efforts to expel the foreign naval forces po licing the city, though earlier reports indicated dissatisfaction by natives generally at the presence of the sailors and marines ashore. A committee on safety headed by an American resident, at Port Au Prince, representing foreign residents and prin cipal business elements of the com munity, also requested the landing of naval forces and asked to have the rebel army now advancing on Port Au Prince excluded until some form of government can be organized. Captain Russell is expected to carry out the re quest. If it becomes necessary, in his Judgment, to protect life and property, in view of threats of rebel leaders. COLONIST RATES. They WO!

Weather Forecast for Kansas. Unsettled with snow flurries tonight and Saturday; much colder tonight. IN HIS STEPS -J uw i IT IS REPUDIATION Administration's Position on the Free Tolls Question Is In Violation of the Balti more Platform. CICTESS TAXESU? SC3JECT Wilson Is Expected to Deliver a Special Message. Bepeal of Free Passage Section to Satisfy England. Washington, Feb. 6. Repeal of the toll exemptions provision of the Pan ama canal law was before congress to day as an administration measure, backed by President Wilson. Although repeal of the section which would give free passage to American coastwise ships, through the great waterway, in volves a practical repudiation of one of the pianks of the Democratic, plat form, adopted by the Baltimore con vention, which nominated President Wilson, administration leaders were sure of prompt action in the house and began lining up their forces in the senate where the hardest fight will come. Some Democrats there are, avowedly in opposition to the presi dent's wish and they have announced their intention of fighting his pro posal. A message to congress, probably de livered in person by the president. Is expected as soon as conferences de velop the administration course of ac tion. Repeal of the free passage sec tion will dispose of Great Britain's protest that it is in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. VERDICT IS REVERSED. Appellate Court Rules Against Teach er Who Was Dismissed. New York, Feb. 6. Mrs. Bridget Pelxotto, a school teacher, who won a preliminary contest in the state su preme court, after having been dis mifuuiri bv the school board because she absented herself to become a mother, met with reversal by the ap pellate court today. This court unanimously upset Just ice Seabury's decision, which had or dered the board to reinstate the teacher. The higher court held that Mrs. Peixotto should have applied to the state commissioner of education for relief rather than to the courts. THE DAY IN CONGRESS House Passes Bill to Mark Graves of Confederate Soldiers. Washington, Feb. 6. Senate met at noon. Hearings on trust bills be fore interstate commerce committee. Representatives of the New York stock exchange were heard before banking committee on the Owen bill. Passed a bill to extend the law mark ing graves of Confederate soldiers in northern states. House met at noon. Discussed private bills. Commerce committee heard merchants on the administra tion trust bills. Without objection, the house seated Representative J. M. C. Smith, Re publican, of the Third district of Michigan over the contest of Claude Carney, who charged that fraudulent ballots had been counted. Senator Nelson's bill for federal in- corporation of all concerns in Inter state commerce was reintroduced. It was unacted upon In the Sixty-first congress. The house appropriation of 8900, 000 for artillery ammunition was in creased to 12,000.000 by the senate appropriation committee. Increases in the bill by the senate committee totaled 81.700.000. The new Immigration hill, with its literacy test, as passed by the house, was before the senate committee, Senator Smith of South Carolina, chairman, of the committee, expects to talk with the president tomorrow to get his view on the test for aliens. An amendment by Senator Dillingham would strike out the literacy test and admit aliens each year on a percent age basis of those already in the country from each country. DROP jyiVIDEND New Plan to Sid Bock Island of Holding Company Control, j Topeka Railway Men Hear New Rumors of Reorganization. It is heard in railway circles in To peka today that the first step to be taken by the Rock Island in its pro posed reorganisation will be the road's failure to declare a regular dividend next month, leaving; the "railroad" holding concern without funds to meet the 81.500,000 four per eent collateral bonds May 1. The compulsory nonpayment of bond interest would naturally be con sidered as -a default, although under the terms of the mortgage, ninety days may elapBe before there is an actual default. .Under these circum stances bondholders could take back the stock of the railway on equal par ity basis. It is known also In Topeka today that the committee that mysterious body mentioned in the dispatches in charge of the reorganization plans is composed of Arthur Curtis James, Francis L. Hine. T. M. Schumacher and Daniel G. Reid. This is significant of the cause of the Rock Island reorganization plan, Topeka railway men believe. The fact that the Relds and Moores turned over their offices to the Phelps-Dodge Interests for the purpose of finding new capital for the rehabilitation of the road and that the El Paso Southwestern coin has been withheld for improvement purposes, indicates, it is thought, that it was Chairman Schumacher who demanded that the Rock Island straighten out its finan cial tangle before he allowed Phelps- Dodge funds to be sunken in the property. Now it Is seen that Schu macher and James, both E. P. 8. W. men. are members of this reor ganization committee. Nothing new in the outline of the Rock Island plan has been made pub lic, according to. Topekans who are here today directly from the scene of the plot. ONLY THING TO DO. Congressman Mann Favors Govern ment Railroad in Alaska. Washington, Feb. 6. Representa tive Mann, the Republican house lead er, made a speech in favor of a gov ernment owned railroad in Alaska. Mr. Mann said he considered it the only logical way to insure the development "The same dire predictions of So cialistic tendencies have been made in connection with every progressive measure that has come of recent years," he said. Nearly every .crime was laid at the door of the Morgan-Guggenheim in terests by Borland of Missouri in the house debate on the Alaska railroad bill. "The story, running In the sober records of the court, included every thing, from the corruption and bribery of Judges to the wanton attack by armed bands of assassins upon the workmen engaged In rival enter prises," Borland said. "It is a system of greed unparalleled since the days of Warren Hastings. Its scenes were enacted, not only upon the snowclad plains of the Arctic circlet but in the banks of Wall street and the counting rooits of London. This high-handed and lawless attempt to grab the tre mendous resources of Alaska caused the locking up of that great territory by legislative enactment." He said the situation today offers only the alternative of turning the country back to the Alaska syndicate or to give the United States the bene fit of the great natural resources by means of the proposed government owned railway. SORRY FOR WILSON. London Globe Thinks He Has Made a Mess of Things. London, Feb. 6. While respect for his high character and fine ideals f moves the Globe to .wish President Wilson well out of his troubles in con nection with Mexico. Peru and Haiti, whose "blood stained administrations" challenge the president's policy of nonrecognltion. it considers his posi tion impracticable. The newspaper continues: "The expedient of sanctioning and supporting civil war. in a neighboring state, is a declaration of war in a form which can hardly be reconciled with the comity of nations. The danger of the situation from the point of view of the United States is that there is no retreat, with honor, from the un compromising if impracticable posi tion President Wilson has taken up."

Murdock Is now campaigninc in the state and is the avowed candi date of the Progressives in the coming senatorial fight. Allen, however, baa wavered. Now White admits that the. Wichita man will in all probability not be a candidate. "While I am not sure, I am satisfied in my own mind that Allen will not be a candidate for governor," said White. "Of course he may yet be Induced to become a candidate the action of the Progressives at their banquet next week may have some effect, but in my Judgment Allen is out of it."

This Information, as astounding In Mexico and along the Rio Grande border as similar news affecting a Rockefeller or a Vanderbilt would be In the United States, became known here today with his departure for Pasadena. Cal. He was accompanied by his family, but not the usual reti nue of servants. Near Pasadena Terrazas expects to buy or lease a small farm, where he can- make a modest living.

Even in the event of peace It may be lost, for the rebels have declared It confiscated. "I do not mind going to work; It may be a good thing," he said to friends before his departure, and smiled at his own remarks, for his prodigality with money has been a story, chapters of which have been written on two continents in London and Paris, in Mexico, Texas, Califor nia, New York, and in Chihuahua, the family seat, from which the estate has always been administered. Terrazas has worked as rich men have, and once he was governor of the state of Chihuahua, but he did not work for a living. For Bread and Butter. Now, according to himself, he is to labor for bread and butter. He learn ed much of farming and the breeding of horses and cattle on his own ranches, and his friends say he will be able to hold his own in wresting an Income from the soil.

All this was the property of the senior Terrazas and his three sons Juan, now in the City of Mexico; Luis. Jr., held at Chihuahua as a hostage by .the rebels, and Alberto until the rebels declared the whole estate confiscated. Beginning with the revolt of Francisco Madera, more than three years ago, the soldiers of Northern Mexico on either side of that and the succeeding revolutions, have practically lived on the Terrazas fortune. Immense sums were contributed by the family to fa vorite causes, or were extorted by the enemy. Paid Big Ransom. A recent instance was the million dol lar ransom demanded for the release of Luis. Jr. He was incarcerated In the mu nicipal palace at Chihuahua but declined to contribute until he was taken out, beaten with the flat side of a sword and a noose placed around his neck and gently tl"-hte ied.

The additional ransom now demanded Is J250.0CO. but it is believed that General Villa prefers to hold him as a hostage to deter other members of the family from financing a new revo'' in the north, to harass the rebel rear on Its march to Torreon.

"WTio's Your Friend?" deals with a. mother-in-law-pecked husband of the well knnwn tvne. He has a lealous but pow erful prettv w.-e. He also has a picture of a Turkish harem girl. The picture comes to life and he is confronted with a problem of dealing with the scantily clothed girl to the satisfaction of his wife's mother, who is a staunch member of the purity league. The comedy settles around the harem eirt and the tactics of obby Stewart as a hall boy and Billy Wjra as the butler.

Many beauty experts have discarded the electric needle and are now using a plain delatone pasta to remove hairy growths because this method is almost instantaneous and is entirely devoid of pain. The paste is made by mixing some powdered delatone with water and this is applied to the hairy surface for about 2 or 3 minutes, then rubbed off and the skin washed. This banishes every trace of hair and leaves the skin soft and spotless. Be sure to get the delatona in an original package.

The newa la received tn The State Jour nal bnlldlas oyer wlrea for this sole pur Neither must It bo forgotten that tw success being attained by the So cfallstlo endeavors of General Villa la achieved at the point of a gun. Am the Washington Post suggests: The) Missouri thief who stole a brace at live skunks probably win be made known by the company he keeps. In all probability no one In town envies Commissioner Porte his Job of -tasting" the 11 -cent meals that are d to prisoners In the city Jail The Ohio man who laughed himself to death the other day over a funny story must take some paper that we don't get, says the Boston Transcript. Here, too. If the pictures of James El Gaffney, the alleged "bagman" of Tammany Hall are good likenesses, he doesn't look the part. But then, looks were oyer deceiving. Once again has the mellifluous Cas tilian bark of the Peruvians been stilled while they have taken up the business of attempting to bite each other to death. In line with what were the reason able expectations In the premises. Yuan Shi Kat Is taking the necessary steps to make China a republic in nothing but a name. This' short session of congress that the Democratic pleaders are figuring on may also be construed as Indicat ing that their political fences are get ting, sorely in need of repairs. If Shawnee county can afford and thinks It necessary to allow 50 cents a day per prisoner for the meals served the Inmates of the county jail, the city of Topeka should certainly do as well by the unfortunates confined In the city prison. Another shortage of meat is threat ened. If this thing keeps up it won't be long before there won't be any reason for worry over the meat sup ply. It will be nil. And there Is no possible excuse for worrying over something that doesn't exist. Banks also have the human ten dency to holler at the mere possibil ity of being hurt. They kicked up a great fuss about the currency bill, while It was being enacted into law, and already 6,012 of the 7,601 nation al banks In the country have applied for membership in the new federal reserve system It will be reasonable for the suffra gists to assume that when the Demo crats In the house of representatives voted down the proposition to create a committee on woman's suffrage, they had advice along that line from President Wilson, or at least they were clever enough to size up his at titude In the premises. Why this fierce squabble between the railroads and the Kansas City Stock Tarda company as to- which of them shall pay the cost of the neeOd Improvements at the stock yards? They surely must be wise to the fact that the money for these improve ments will eventually come from the pockets of the people, who as a mat ter of fact, pay for everything. As far as purely political consider ations are Involved, the Democratic party,' through its representatives In congress, has undoubtedly made one of the blunders for which It has long .been famous In turning a deaf ear to the suffragists. They already have the right to vote in several important states, and it is unreasonable to sup pose that they will give enthusiastic support to the state and local candi dates of a party whose national rep resentatives deny them so much as a hearing. The Democrats in the house have gone on record as declaring that the woman's suffrage question is one for the several states and not the fed eral government to determine. This Is also the stand that has been taken by the Democratic party in respect to presidential primaries. Tet Presi dent Wilson has urged congress to pass a national law for presidential primaries, and In another breath he baa Insisted that it Is beyond his province to submit any proposition to congress which has not, received the oraanio endorsement of him party. CANCER AND RADIUM. A timely warning against bMnd faith In the cure) of cancer by radium was addressed to the pubHc recently by representatives of the American Society, for the Control of Cancer speaking at a meeting In Soldier's Memorial hall in Pittsburg, Pa. This meeting had been arranged by the Twentieth Century club and the Pitts burg Academy of Medicine, with the co-operation of the American Society for the Control of Cancer as one of a series of public meetings In various parts of the country, at which rep resentatives of the national organiza tion will endeavor to spread the mes sage of hope for the cure of cancer which Is still to be sought only In ear ly recognition and competent surgical treatment. The delegates of the new national society who spoke at Pittsburg ex pressed the combined opinion of the executive committee, including some of 'the foremost surgeons of America, who base their views on enormous and widely distributed professional ex perience. According to this view, the radium treatment of "cancer Is as yet a matter of experiment, and the suc cessful results have been obtained chiefly tn the treatment of external cancers, particularly of the skin. Even granting that In the course of time radium may prove of much greater vahie than has been the ease In the past. It was pointed out that a sufficient quantity of radium and the required experience In Its use will not be available for some years, and In the meantime It Is practically certain that large numbers of people are likely to be deluded by false hopes. The first principle in cancer treatment is the extreme danger of delay; and thus far a thoroughly qualified operation seems to hold out the only hope for a cure. Of the thousands of cancer cures brought forward from time to time practically none yields satisfactory results, and the warning cannot be made too strong against public faith in the frequent announcement of can cer cures by other than surgical methods. According to the opinion expressed by these speakers radium has prob ably been shown to exert a definitely curative effect on certain of the mod erately malignant and superficial can cers of the skin, mouth and other readily accessible mucous membranes, provided that it Is applied while the disease is still local and In the early stages. Radium definitely relieves suffering when used in the advanced stages of deeper-seated cancers; but in those cases It improves only the visible or tangible manifestations and exerts no effect upon the disseminated disease as a whole. It is believed that there is as yet no proof that radium has finally cured any one ease or ad vanced and disseminated cancer. Europe, where the popular furore about radium appeared earlier than It did here, has alreadly been devastated by the appearance of great numbers of dishonest and fake, money-getting, radium-cure establishments conducted by individuals who possess little or no radium, and have no knowledge of Its use. These people promise cures, but are, in reality, unable to obtain even those palliative effects which are pos sible from radium. Much harm has also been done there by honest and educated enthusiasts, who have been led to premature confidence in the curative effects of radium by the ex citement of witnessing the temporary relief 'of symptoms' and decrease of tangible tumors which It undoubtedly produces even in advanced cases. Statistical evidence to support the advice and warning to seek early operative treatment was presented by Mr. Frederick I Hoffman, statistician of a prominent Insurance company, who made one of the chief addresses. According to Mr. Hoffman the record ed experience of the best hospitals goes to show that earliest possible operation for cancer seems to offer the only hope for cure. These records are distinctly encouraging, and prove conclusively that at least the initial loss of life in such operations is very low. The statistics of private prac tice also prove that the risk of recur rence is gradually becoming less, while the percentage of distinctly favorable results Is Increasing. WHY TEACH FARM FACTS? Some persons do not understand why agriculture should be taught In the public schools, says the Kansas Industrialist. Even some teachers of agriculture cannot give satisfactory reasons why all children should study it "Often." says H. L. Kent, principal of the school of agriculture at the Kansas Agricultural college, "persons who are expecting to give talks- on agricultural education write to me asking for reasons why agriculture should be introduced in the elemen tary and high schools. I would class these reasons under two heads: First, for practice; and, second, for culture. The practical courses those intended to give one knowledge with which to farm to be taught In schools In the country and small towns, where agri culture is the main industry and sup port of the schools, while the cultural courses those meant to broaden the child should be taught In the larger places. "Agriculture is the greatest and fundamental industry of the United States. On It depends the prosperity of country and city alike. The popu lation is steadily getting larger, and something must be done to Increase the farmers production. Social and economic conditions demand that be be educated, if he is to keep from sinking to the level of the peasant of Europe. Few farmers ever reach a college, and this means that they must receive their agricultural training in the high schools and other secondary schools. It means more income to the farmers, and this reason alone ought to be sufficient for introducing such courses. The literature put out by colleges and the experiment stations will never accomplish what it should until the farmers have aa elementary knowledge of the scientific side of farming. And to meet the demands of the highly developed and complex Industrial conditions, we must have a diversified system of education. The old narrow curriculum must give way for a broader and more practical edu cation that Is related to the child's needs and environment. "From a cultural standpoint, a course In agriculture, which will not be so long as the practical courses. Is very valuable to the child. In the elementary schools. It gives the child a wider and more intelligent view of the things of nature and his relation! to them. And agriculture Is prefer able to many things as a cultural study because of Its closer touch to man and his everyday life.. We all should understand where and how our food supply is produced. The train ing and culture received from the study of the things that have a prac tical bearing on life should not. be overlooked In a liberal education.'

There Is more than appears on the sur face In the fight which the convention of the United Mine Workers has been mak ing upon Samuel Gompers and the ex ecutive council of the American Federa tion of Labor. In spite of the personal nature of the attacks, the fight Is not one against persons but against policy. It la not the vices or virtues of the leaders of the A. F. of L. that really concern the miners organisation, but the policy for which Gompers and his colleagues stand sponsor. The attack on Gompers at the convention of the United Mine Workers is the opening skirmish of what Is likely to prove a bitter war for the control of the labor movement In AfiuriM K. RnAiiata and in the Interest of Socialist policies. For years the Socialist members or trade unions have fought Gompers and his "cabinet." The trade union elections of recent years have been placin- Socialists more and more In Important positions Jn the labor movement. The miners' union a exceedingly socialistic, it waa the 80 allst spirit In the miners' organisation which a few years age forced John Mitchell to retire from the National Clvto federation If he was not to forfeit his membership in the union. Industrial unionism, which Is the Socialist brand of unionism, opposed to the method of or ganization of trade unionism, has been forced to tbe foreground by these newer and more radical leaden. One of the charges made against Gompers at the miners' convention was that he had placed obstacles in the path of Industrial union Ism. The denial which this charge evoked from him Is an admission how far the American Federation of Labor already has gone In its concessions to Socialists. Apparently, however, the Socialists are not satisfied with concessions. What they want Is complete control of the workers' minds and votes. Chicago Tribune. BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

Hidden to Keep From Indians Former Search Failed. Jetmore, Kan., Feb. 6. A box of gold nuggets weighing forty pounds and declared to be worth at least $6,800 was found by Ralph Chesney, a home steader, on his farm just south of the line dividing Ford and Hodgeman counties today. The treasure will be deposited with a local bank while Chesney returns to search for more gold which is believed to have been hidden by Colorado prospectors before they were massacred by the Indians here in 1865. It is believed that metal worth nearly $100,000 was hidden by the party of men. One of the band is said to have escaped and returned to this neighborhood years later in a vain endeavor to find his cache. The find was made on a hill known as Turtle Back, on account of its shape. Details of how the find was made are not revealed by Chesney, who isn't at all anxious for competition in his hunt for the remainder of the wealth. The hill is located near the banks of Saw log creek. According to the story told here years ago a party of prospectors was re turning from the western goldfields and -was attacked and massacred by the Indians. Before the attack they cached all their metal. One of the men escaped more dead than alive and feared to return to seek his wealth for several years. After the county had been settled by whites and the Indians safely herded upon reservations a stranger came to this community and without letting his errand be known spent many days digging along Buckner creek. His operations were always about the small mounds. He found nothing. It is declared, and to'd his story. Since that time hundreds have sought the gold but all of them searched the ground near Buckner creek. It is now believed that the prospector plied his search along the wrong stream and that his treasure and that of his comrades was buried along the Sawlog. Today is expected to witness a rush of hunters for the precious metal along the Sawlog. TO MANILA TO GET MARRIED. Pittsburg Teacher W1U Wed Govern men Employee Who Is a Kansan.

Third Story of Court House May Be Reconstructed and Made Modern. Concordia, Feb. 6. Cloud county will have a new county Jail. A great many have always wondered what all the extra space was ever made for in the upper story of the court house and now the county commissioners have solved the problem. They have not officially taken action, but expect to at their next regular meeting. The commission ers as well as every one else familiar with the conditions at the county jail, realize that Cloud county is sorely in need of a new Jail.

Entire Club Goes to Denison on Training Trip. UOm DALE GEAR EUSY Bays Pitcher Pepper Clark, Former Member Kaws. Battery Players Report March 10 Others March 20. First division stock in the Topeka club of the Western league looked up when Information reached here that Phil Koerner has refused the Federal league offer and would be with the Kaws this season, and that Manager Dale Gear had bought Pepper Clark, a pitcher formerly with St. Paul of the American association. In addi tion to this information comes the news that all prospects for the To peka team have signed their con tracts excepting Pitchers McCollough and Higglnbotham. Manager Dale Gear, just now, is one of the most optimistic managers of the Western league circuit, wiin a good team on the reserve list last fall when the 1913 season closed, he has secured contracts from several others who will add strength to any club on the circuit and this increases the chances of the club in securing a berth in the first division. Gear ex pects Pepper Clark, Ralph Glaze and Outfielder Riggs to be valuable addi tions to the club. In a letter to the State Journal sporting editor Manager Gear says that he has received a letter from Phil Koerner in which the big first baseman says he has refused the Fed eral league offer and will be with the Kaws during the coming season. Koerner feels that he has overcome the mental depression caused by his experience at Wichita and that he will have his most successful season during the coming year. He says he will give Topeka the best that he has. Buys Pepper Clark's Release. Pepper Clark is well known in this section. He was a member of the Topeka team in 1911 and was sold by Dick Cooley to St. Paul of the Ameri can association. He played with this club until last year, when he refused to rejoin the club on account of per sonal differences. The St. Paul club then sold him to Racine, Wis., and Manager Gear has just completed ne gotiations for buying his release and has' received his signed contract. Clark is anxious to appear in a To peka uniform. He has pitched good ball for several years. This pitcher began his career tin der Jack Holland with the Wichita club. He was sold to the major leagues but turned back. Cooley finally bought his release. All Players on Training Trip. In the letter Manager Gear says he has definitely decided to take all of the players to Denison, Tex., on the training trip. The pitchers and catchers have been instructed to re port at Denison March 10 and the1 remainder of the team has been in structed to report March 20. The list will contain 23 or 24 players. He has more than this number on his list but some will be disposed of be fore that time and others will not be asked to go as they will be released to other clubs as soon as Gear can complete negotiations. He has decided on these arrange ments because of the large number of games on the training trip schedule and he expects the revenue to exceed the training expenses. The exhibition games paid all the expenses of the training trip last season. The traveling expenses, under this condition, probably will be less than if the team trained in Topeka. A number of recruits will report but will be dropped off along the way to Topeka and the list will probably not be greater than 20 by the time the Kaws return home. Several players live in the south and will not have far to go to reach the training camp. Pitcher Faircloth, Outfielders Carlos Smith and Riggs will come from Ten nessee and Mississippi, Pitcher Hig glnbotham and Inflelder George Smith live in Texas. Pitchers Pat McGehee and McKee live in Missis sippi. Pitcher Ralph Glaze lives In Texas. The others live in Kansas and Missouri and farther north and east. May Get Other Pitchers. Additional names to the pitching staff may be announced in the near future. Manager Gear has received the signed contract from one who is said to have exceptional ability but has requested that his name be with held for business reasons. Other deals are pending which may be closed in a few days. Manager Gear will remain on his Oklahoma ranch du.lng the remain der of the month and will then come to Topeka to complete training trip arrangements and other preliminary work. With the contracts of PeDDer. Clark and Koerner and those which have been announced, the indications are that Manager Gear will have a team of athletes that will- bear watching and a bunch that will cause others trouble before the season is far advanced. K. G. FEDS STRONG. Tinker Says Stovall's Team Will Be Pennant Contenders, Chicago. Feb. 6. The Kansas City Federals will be among the fighters for the pennant in the new league next summer, according to Joe Tinker. manager of the Chicago Federals, who is authority for the statement that Sam Agnew. catcher: George Baum gardner, pitcher, and Gus Williams, outfielder, have left the St. Louis Americans to play with Manager Sto vall's team. According to Tinker, the three play ers agreed to Federal League terms just after the American League closed last year. With Baumgardner and Blanding of Cleveland, the mainstays, Stovall's pitching staff it is believed will be among the strongest. Tinker today received the signed contract of Cadmus Coles, who was on the reserve list of the Philadelphia Americans and who had a batting average of .356 in the Kimira, in the New York State league, last year. Coles is an out fielder. Thlmos McGuire, pitcher last fielder. Thomas McGuire, pitcher last signed a contract with Tinker. iii in dir.... a aui llk" i t V 11 HI "i f 11 Mrs. Ward Ames in frock coat bath, ins nit.

Year by year Topeka is becoming more and more a shopping center for Kansas. Many persons east of Topeka feel that they can buy to better ad vantage in Topeka than in Kansas City and consequently make periodical trips to the capital city. Lawrence and Baldwin, for example, furnish many Topeka shoppers.

Judge Smith McPherson of. the federal' court has no power to retain Jurisdiction of suits of shippers and passengers tor recover overcharges from the railroads, accord ing to an amended decree, filed by the Judge today, entering the mandate of the United States supreme court up holding the Missouri 2 cent passenger fare and maximum freight rate laws as constitutional. This.' railroad attorneys say, leaves the way open for the rail roads to appeal to the United States supreme court. Beyond the statement that the court has no discretionary powers in the mat ter, "and. is merely carrying out the higher court mandate," the decree is virtually the same as that entered by Judge McPherson last Friday and later held up upon the -request of attorneys for the railway that the amendment made in today's decree be added. The amended decree, like the former one, dissolves injunction against John T. Barker, attorney general of Missouri, that prevented him front proceeding with suits to recover $24,000,000 excess freight and passenger charges made while the Tate cases were, in litigation. It likewise dismissed the original in junction brought by railroads to pre vent the enforcement of the rate laws and states that the original $10,000 bond put up by each railroad does not limit any shipper or passenger as to his claim for recovery of overcharges. Without Discretion. "This court is without discretion in the matter, and has not discretion un der the mandate of the United States supreme court," the court said. "The amended decree leaves the railroads free to appeal to the United State supreme court," said Frank Hagerman, chief counsel for the rail ways. "I shall begin preparation of the appeal immediately." The decree, as read by Judge Mc Pherson a week ago, was regarded by state officials as a victory for the state in that it gave shippers and passengers the right to sue for overcharges in any court they pleased and in that it placed no limit -on the liabilities of the railroads.. The court named Wash Adams of Kansas City as special master to ad judicate any claims that might be brought in the federal court. When railroad attorneys last Friday asked that the court incorporate in the de cree a statement that he would have taken jurisdiction over all claims for overcharges if he had been permitted to do so under the higher court man date, the court postponed the filing of his decree. In the amended decree the judge refuses to state- what he "would have done." but does say ex plicitly that he had not power to do more. As Barker Sees It. "Judge McPherson's amended decree in the Missouri rate cases does not change their status in the slightest de gree." said John T. Barker, state attor ney general, when told of the filing of the order at Kansas City. "The cases are now out of the Judge's court. He has dismissed them as the United States supreme court ordered him to do. The cases for recovery of over charges now are in the state courts, where they belong, and all litigation concerning them in the federal court is ended. I shall go ahead with my suits to recover overcharges from the rail roads." GHOSTS in PRISHCHURCH English Tale of Vicar's Battle With Unholy Spooks. The story of an obsterperous ghost that played pranks upon the residents at Asfordsby rtrctory, Leicestershire, for more than 30 years, and has at last been laid low by the rector, the Rev. F. A. Gage Hall, comes from Leicester, England. Mr. Hall, after many fruit less attempts to rid the rectory of its uninvited, long-staying, and nonpay lng guest, at last resorted to the ex pedient of a solemn exorcism. Put ting on cassock and surplice, he went to the affected parts of the house, and with stern mien commanded the spirit to aepart "in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost." "I believe," said the rector in an interview, "that my action has been successful, for we have since seen or heard nothing of the ghost." The rectory is a very old and ram bling building. It has been the resi dence of many well known people, and it is alleged to have been the scene of many grim And daring deeds. Hence, It possesses ideal and unrivaled attrac tions tor any enterprising and house hunting spook. out the particular srhest unon whose eviction the rector of Asfordby is Deing widety congratulated was not merely a creature of moans and groans and creepy manners and ap pearance. He was a ghost of vigorous pnysique, and, moreover, an appari tion with strongly developed likes and dislikes. His pet aversion, seemingly. was bedclothes, and as an unmistaka ble lndicatl n of his displeasure he was in the rude habit of ripping the blankets and other clothing from harmless sleepers in the .dead of night. Thus the Rev. C. H. Strudwick, vicar of Wnetstone, a neighboring Leicestershire parish, recently slept ror several nights in a haunted room. ana he relates that on the very first night lie was alarmed by a vio lent tugging at his bedclothes. He held on as tightly as he was able, but in vain. Tho ghost won the tug of war, and stripped the vicar of his j covering. "All I could see." said the vicar afterward, "was a heap of disordered bedclothes O" the floor. There was nothing else to indicate that anything unusual had occurred. I searched the room thoroughly, and everything was I in order. The door was locked on the I inside, and no one could have entered, j But when the same thing happened J jug iil x was fiwu lu change my nom." A sister-in-law of the rector subse quently slept in1 the same room, and had the sam alarming experience to narrate to a smalt knot of scared folk in the middle of the night. The Rev. Gage Hall declares that such occurrences have been troubling I the household evr- since he can re member. "Thft family," he said, "have heard the RhoMi: tramping round the corridors of the house at night, and the servants have been scared by strange napppnings ana noises. Since the exorcism, however, the ghest has ceased his pranks, and it is generally hoped that he has gone away for good. There are some who may suggest that the spook has mere ly gone away on his summer vaca tion. But Vms Inhabitants 'of the rec tory do not treat the matter in a frivolous spirit. Boston Transcript.

The fact that Allen may not be a candidate for governor does not mean that he is weakening in his support of the Bull Moose cause. White urges. Allen Will Make Speeches. "Allen will if anything make more speeches and do more work than though he were a candidate," said White. "He will be in the fight for Murdock and our nominee for gov ernor, as well as the full Progressive state ticket." No definite program as affecting the Bull Moose governorship will be an nounced until next week, when the Progressives hold their second annual -banquet in Topeka. A crowd of more than 1,000 out of town Bull Moose rs is expected for the Progressive ban quet next Thursday night. Arrange ments have been made for a special train of Pullman sleepers from west ern Kansas towns to carry the Bull Moose leaders to Topeka. Wichita will send a big crowd and may char ter a couple of special cars. Em poria, Newton, Wichita, Great Bend, and other towns along the Santa Fe have asked for special Pullman reser vations to Topeka next Wednesday night, The crowd will arrive In To peka Thursday morning and will leave after the banquet on a special train. Hlnshaw Here Today. David Hinshaw of Emporia, secre tary of the Progressive executive committee, was in Topeka today and declared that the crowd at the ban quet this year would be even larger than the one which attended the 1913 banquet. The 1913 banquet set a rec ord, exceeded only by the Bryan din ner, for political banquets in Kansas. "Many towns have notified the committee that they will send delega tions of from 10 to 100 Progressives to the banquet," said Hinshaw, who has been spending a week with Victor Murdock in his campaign in Kansas. "Every town we have visited In the last week has displayed unexpected enthusiasm and Progressive workers from every section of Kansas are coming to the banquet." Set for Big Banquet. Not only will the Kansas Progres sives hold their annual banquet next Thursday, but they will lay plans for the coming campaign. Many political announcements will be made and a tentative party platform will be writ ten at the all day meeting of the Bull Moosers. W. R. Stubbs will preside at the afternoon meeting and Henry J.

For a special train to carry Wlfflam Jennings Bryan from Kansas City to Lawrence to address Kansas univer sity students, the state paid $80, ac cording to a voucher filed today with State Auditor W. E. Davis. The money was paid from a special fund provided for the educational board under pro visions of section; 4, chapter 6. session laws of 1913, and since a portion of this fund was already in the hands of the state university, there was no opportunity to hold up the claim. In a letter sent today to George O. Foster, secretary of the university. Auditor Davis advises the university that the state Is not in the habit of providing special trains for men to come to Kansas to address college students and that in the future claims for speakers' expenses are to be given the closest scrutiny. The Bryan speech was made the afternoon of January 6, preceding the secretary of state's address in Topeka. He was taken from Kansas City to Lawrence on. a special train over the Union Pa cific. The only members of the party were Secretary Bryan, Chancellor Strong, Miles H. Mulroy, president of the Democratic club, and Senator James Ma lone of Rawlins county. University heads have paid the ex pense of the Bryan special train from funds in their possession and state of ficials now have no chance to hold up the claim.

There will be something doing at this session, and In fact, Charles Sherman of the Lincoln News, just about expresses 'our opinion. He speaks of the schedule meeting as follows: "The coming Western 1 League schedule meeting promises to bei fully as peaceful as the collision of a I bulldog and an alley cat. Vice President! .d uanion, wnose pupiuun manes mni I acting president while Tip O'Neill is gird-: ling the globe, is reputed to have called I the meeting for Chicago. Now comes I Jack Holland, the St. Joe moge, and dis- t I putes the right of Hanlon to call any thing that looks like a meeting. The Holland contention is that Tip placed matters of that sort in the hands of Pa Kourke, chairman of the board of di rectors. So we pause to inquire: Where did Holland get that line of stuff that the vice president of the Western League has no authority when the president is oft the beat? Holland has been getting by quite successfully in his differences with the Wichita club, but when he bucks Ed Hanlon it is one cinch the fur will fly. By way of explanation, it should be stat ed that Ed Hanlon is Irish and some thing over six feet. He Isn't given to much talking, but when he does spiel he manages to put his conversation over the middle of the plate. So we have de-4 elded to offer a prize for a phonographic record of Hanlon's remarks and a photo graph of Jack Holland's hide after its removal by tne blg-Ilstea Sioux Uity "mick." Some of the Western League scribes claim that President Tip O'Neill will cut short his trip around the world with the White Sox and New York Giants, that he may arrive in Chicago during the early part of March in order that he may relieve pa Rourke and Jack Holland of their ponderous responsibilities. Old King Cole has been jumping about until he is not absolutely sure that he Is a Federal, an American League or Just a plain barber, the trade he worked at before becoming "famous." Now we know there is something wrong with the Federals. They have offered Bill Fisher, first baseman of the Denver club, a contract. Pyke Johnson of the Denver News claims that the hitch between the directors of the Western League and George Tebeau, of Kansas City, concerning a club in the Missouri city is because Tebeau wants to grant them a franchise in the city for but one year or until such time as he is successful in defeating the Federals. The following Is the way Johnson explains conditions: "The hitch between George Tebeau of Kansas City and the directors of the Western League in regard to the proposition to place a Western club tn the American Association city. Is over the length of the transfer. Tebeau agrees that if he lets the Western come, in to stay that the Federals will die out short ly and he will be left with a big battle on his hands which he will be unable to settle without financial loss. Hence he would restrict the Western to a year's occupancy, which the directors of that body argue would only hurt the circuit In the long run. The fact that Tebeau is not a leader of championship teams seems to give him good ground for his argument, as the fans in Kansas City are no different from those in any other city of these United States they all want to see a winner, not a consistent tailender." We called the turn on Jack Holland. We said that he never would use the I courts to prevent Outfielder Z willing from j playing with the Federal League, and he I has affirmed our statement. He said that 1 he would fight the Federals in this case but he has now announced that he would allow Boston to do the "courting." Recent reports from the world's touring baseball clubs indicate that Fred Merkle and the sphynx and pyramids of Egypt are having a grand reunion.' The re union is merely to renew, acquaintances formed through Johnny Evers and Con nie Mack on two momentous occasions. Frank Isbell and Tom Falrweather of the Des Moines club have the signed con tracts of seventeen players as follows: Outfielders Eddie Hahn, Dick Breen, Aiten, Wetzel and Shaffstal. Infielders Stglin, Tom Reilly, Lenne Burrell, McClelland. Pitchers Fred Sweet, Nick Lakoff, Jack Gardner, Stahm and Marshall. Catchers Shaw and Green.

Pro S Just 60 Overcoats in the Lot Our Final Cleam Up? Big Reductions on Suits, Sweaters, Shirts, Etc. Overcoats 0 Half Price! r J Overcoats 0 Half Price! Kansas City, Feb. 6. An order re taining in the -hands of the federal court all save 300,eOO of a $1,144,887 fund due the tKansa 3 .Natural Gas company waa received at the federal court here today. The $600,000 goes to the state receivers who were given by a mandate of the United States I circuit court or appeals issued in St. Paul last November. The order was mailed from Judge McPherson's home in Red Oak, Iowa, and probably will be filed with the olerk of the federal court at Topeka. The order is a modification of one made January 24, last by Judge Mc Pherson in which he decreed that all save $75,000 of the fund due the com pany should go to state receivers and that the $75,000 be retained to pro tect the interests of the federal court. One federal receiver also was re-" tained. In explaining today's order Judge McPherson said to protect the prop erty of the company in states outside Kansas, it would be necessary to keep a sum larger than $75,000 under fed eral control. If at any time the state receivers should need more than $600,000 he said he would at that time, consider making another order. "The property of the company in Missouri and Oklahoma," he added, "rightly belongs to the receivers of this court and the auxiliary United States courts until otherwise ordered." APPEALED I.IEAT CASES United States Will Carry Them to Highest Courts. The United States district attorney to day appealed to the supreme court of the United States in the case of the govern ment against four Kansas City men, charged with violation of the meat Inspec tion law. The men, James Lewis, Lewis Howard. Fred Withers and James McBee. w -e arrested last October on the charge of breaking a government seal on a car load of meat. It Is alleged that they en teral the car and stole a large quantity of meat that was consigned by Swift Co. to the Jersev City branch. The attorney ,for the defendants, in Steading asrainst the indictment, filed a emurrer claiming that the four men did not violate the meat inspection law. He declared the law was for the purpose of preventing fraud and that the defendants, not belne In the meat business, could not be prosecuted. Judge Pollock upheld his contention. The district attorney now has appealed direct to the supreme court of the United States. The decision of the supreme court will be of great importance to the meat In terests of the country.
