Henry Allen, who came to To peka today determined not to run for governor, was wavering this af ternoon. The demonstration at the National hotel at noon today fol lowing the meeting was remark able. Four hundred Progressives from most of the counties of the state thronged his room and the corridors in a concerted effort to make him enter the race. The ear nestness of these men may be best described when it is said that many of them had tears, in their eyes when they appealed to the Wichita orator to lead the state ticket. Al len told the State Journal man at 3 o'clock this afternoon that he did not know what he would do. He is thinking it over. He did not want to make a statement today, he said. He wanted to decide in calmness and not in the heat of a party rally. In spite of a snowstorm and bitter northwest wind that raged over Kan sas today, nearly 1,000 Progressives, representing more than one-half of the counties of the state, are in To peka today to assist in the drafting of a 'tentative state platform and the discussion of state and congressional candidates. It is estimated that the storm cut the attendance from out of town one fourth and that it will cut the attend ance some at the banquet tonight. Every one of the 900 seats for the banquet at the Auditorium tonight has been sold and when the galleries are opened to the public, it is claimed that 2,500 men and women will lisren to the Bull Moose gospel for the com ing campaign. The meeting today is the second an nual gathering of Kansas Progressives and is largely in the form of a mass convention. One of the principal feat ures of the meeting this year is the proposition to write a tentative state platform. Tills platform will be of fered to the voters of the state In lieu of a formal platform to be rewritten or ratified by the Progressive party coun cil at its meeting following the state qide primaries in August. Keen in terest in the platform policies was man ifest among the Progressive workers. They demand a platform that was void of straddle doctrine and adhered to the general principles enunciated in the Roosevelt platform of two years ago. Many Women Here. Mnnv women were amoris- the ar rivals last night and today for the banquet tonight. These women sat to day in the mass convention In the Grand opera house and displayed sin cere interest in the policies to be out lined by their party for the 1914 battle. Tonight a Kansas woman, Mrs. Eva Morley Murph of Goodland, a candi date for the Progressive congressional nomination in the Sixth district, will tell the Third party voters of her views of needed progressive legislation. An other widely known woman in the councils of the Progressives is Miss Helen Eacker of Lawrence, secretary of the state committee. Looks Good for Mordock. "More strange things could happen than the election of Murdock," de clared U. 8. Sartin, state chairman, "and I really believe Murdock will be elected. The sentiment in his favor Is surprising."

Scores of Progressives urged the nomination of Third party county tickets. In many counties. Bull Moose workers vowed, plans had al ready been laid for the nomination of full local tickets. Some counties will go so far as to put township tickets in the field. "We are In favor of fighting every inch of the way," said J. L. Brady, congressional candidate in the Second district. "For that reason we will put out full tickets in as many counties as' possible. We will elect some people to office, too." Candidate for Every State Office.

This morning a band of 20 pieces came to Topeka from Osage county and will furnish music for the ban quet and the Bull Moose business meetings. A crowd of about 100 is expected from Osage county and sim ilar crowds will come from Wyan dotte and Douglas counties. More than 100 tickets have been sold In To peka. This morning Chairman Sartin an nounced that blocks of banquet tickets had been reserved by county organ! za- (Continued on Page Seven.) William Allen White. Emporia.

"We must get away from personal ities and partisanship and look at the state of the country." said Mr. Rob ins. "This Progressive program is not effervescent, not the influence of a great personality, or the result of a stolen convention, and it is not going to pass away. This country has been undergoing great social and economic changes in the last thirty years and the Progressive movement is the re sult of these changes and the need for correction of abuses that have grown up in this period. f 1 "i 1 1 Raymond Robins, Chicago, Leader Among Illinois Bull .Moosers, With a Message to Kansas Progressives.

At 3:15 this afternoon the' resolu tions committee appointed to draft a tentative state platform for the Kan sas Progressives had virtually com pleted its work and voted for the re affirmation of the provisions of the national platform of two years ago, which declared for the recall of judi ciary and judicial decisions. The platform as drafted by the commit tee will be offered on the floor of the mass convention late this afternoon. There is little dispute or conten tion among members of the commit tee regarding platform policies and the committee proceeded to draft a Progressive program with teeth in it. They condemned the 1913 legislature for its failure to adopt effective initia tive and referendum and recall amendments and also Jolted the state administration for its efforts to place the state labor bureau under political control. On the tariff, the Progressives urged a non-partisan tariff commission and a revision of the tariff laws that would favor or at least not work a hardship on Kansas farmers and stock raisers. National prohibition and national suf frage were endorsed. At a late hour no action had been taken by the com mittee relative to government owner ship of railroads and public service cor porations.

The motion to dismiss was made by the state and assented to by the railroads. The Kansas 2 -cent fare has rested on the Nebraska case. This settle ment of the case probably means the permanency of the 2 -cent fare law in Kansas.

Why not thou, William? That is the sentiment expressed in many quarters here today, and it is not impossible that Mr. White will make that step for his party. Even not improbable.

Heard in Hotel "We want a clean cut campaign) with straight out Progressives and no straddlers or trimmers for candidates for office," said W. E. Payton, editor of the Colony Free Press. Payton de clared that he favored a strictly pro gressive platform and urged that if there was to be harmony in the cam paign, that harmony should be on the Bull Moose declaration of principles. "Jefferson county Progressives are just as strong in the faith as at any time a year ago," declared Noel Dobbs, chairman of the Jefferson county com mittee. "Whether we will put a full county ticket in the field is uncertain, but the state ticket will poll a re markably big vote." "We will have a full ticket in Wil son county and have organized and begun active work," said John H. Hubbell, a Fredonia merchant who was accompanied to the banquet by his wife. Wilson county sent a crowd of 20 Bull Moosers to today's meet ing. 4 "In 83 of the 105 counties we have a solid, working organization, includ ing precinct committeemen, and are ready for the fight," said U. S. Sartin of Kansas City, Progressive state chairman. "There are less than ten counties in which we have neither a full county committee or a tentative organization ready for tbe campaign." C. C. Mack and wife came with an early crowd from Newton last night. Mack's friends have urged his candi dacy for congress in the Eighth dis trict and it is quite probable that 'the Harvey county man will get in the race. "The Progressives will make a real fight in the Second strict this year," said J. L. Brady of Lawrence, former state senator from Douglas county and a Bull Moose congressional candidate. "There will be no compromise in Doug las county or in the counties of the district. The Progressives stand just Sheffield Inralbt.

Our platform this year will enunciate real progressive ideas and the men on the state ticket will believe in. these principles and fight for them. We are willing to go to the voters on that program." J. N. Atkinson of Wyandotte coun tv and W. J. Burtis of Wilson county, members of the 1913 legislature, were among the early arrivals In Topeka (Continued on Page Two.) "THIS IS SERIOUS."

It is probable that Allen will make some definite statement regard ing his candidacy before leaving To peka tonight. Allen came to Topeka declaring that he would not run. This afternoon be admitted that he was -wavering. His friends believe there is a possibility, even a stronger probability, that he will run. By many Progressives. Al len's Indecision is regarded as evidence that the Wichita man will consent to enter the race. "Honestly, I don't know," said Al len late this afternoon. "I didn't come here with any intentions of mak ing e race. But this thing is really serious and you can't blame me. for taking a little time to think It over. Perhaps I will have something definite to. say late this evening. But that is not certain. Right now, I am not in the race, but I am still thinking about It." Henry i. Allen. Wichita.

Washington to day joined In tbe national celebration of the one. hundred and fifth anniver sary or the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The celebration here was marked by the breaking of ground in West Po tomac nark for tbe construction of a $2,000,000 marble memorial to Lincoln. Because of lack of time to make suit able arrangements only Captain W. W. Harts 01 tne engineer corps or tne army, who will have supervision or the work, contractors, laborers and a few) others were present. This Is tbe last Lincoln's birthday which will see standing two landmark, connected with his life and death. Ford's theater, where he was assassinat ed and the "Lincoln toy shop," where he and his little son Tad sought relief from the cares of the Civil war in Play with lead soldiers. The buildings are to oe replace by modern office struc tures. There was no formal ceremony con nected with the beginning of the work on the memorial for the reason that there was not sufficient time between the completion of the details of signing the contracts and the birthday anni versary of the martyred president to arrange a program of sufficient ex cellence to mark the opening of a work of such magnitude and senti mental importance. 80 it was decided to let the ceremonies go over until tbe laying of the cornerstone. Former President Taft. chairman of the Lin coln memorial commission, did not come to tne city to see tbe work start. Site for the Memorial. The site for the memorial is in Po tomac Park on an "axis," planned more than a century ago, at one end of which is the capitoi, the monument of the government; and at the other, more than a mile to the west, the Washington monument. Still farther to the west will be the Lincoln memorial, where It will have a relation with the capitoi and the Washington monument that would be (Continued on Page Six.) IT IS A RAW 7i"D.

Burtis, of Garden City, an avowed candidate for secretary of state, came to Topeka this morning and par ticipated today in the business meet ing of the new party which met to Write Us first state platform. 8. A. Piper, an Independence lawyer, is being urged as a candidate for at torney general on the Progressive state ticket. Piper has ma.de no announce ment of his plans. George E. Tucker, W. H. Barger, Geo. Crans and H. A. Lovett of Eureka, were among the arrivals last night from Greenwood county. Another delegation from Fred S. Jackson's former home came this afternoon to attend the ban quet. Johnson county, the home of Gover nor Hodges, sei.t a crowd of 20 to To peka today. H. C. Livermore, a re formed Democrat and a Progressive candidate for state treasurer, was a member of the Olathe delegation. Among the arrivals last night from Wilson county were: John H. Hubbell and wife, W. E. Willett, George East, W. J. Burtis, F. C. Wade, Simon Coats, Fredonla: C. A. Stafford and wife, AJ- toona; Dr. R. II Riley and William Cauble. Benedict. El F. Hudson, Democratic postmaster of Fredonia, is also in Topeka today and stated that he would remain for the banquet. Three probable candidates for state printer are being mentioned by the Progressives in Topeka today. Among the possible candidates are W. E. Pay ton, Colony; Columbus Borin. Yates Center, and Harry Woods, Welling ton. None of the men have as yet made definite announcement of their plans. 1 Carr W. Taylor, the well known Hutchinson lawyer, is in Topeka to day with the crowd from Reno coun ty. Taylor is a probable candidate for attorney general on the Bull Moose ticket this yea- and is regarded as one of the strongest Progressives in the Seventh district. He was for merly attorney for the railroad board, was for several years engaged in the practice of law in Topeka and was an ardent Roosevelt supporter in 1912. Taylor is well known in the state and is recognized as an exceptionally able lawyer. In event Taylor does not en ter the race, it is probable that Henry Ganse of Emporia, former state sen ator, will be a candidate for the office Bow held by John S. Dawson. Charles Kerr, mayor of Independ ence and member of the state legis lature in 1911. Is a possible congres sional candidate in the Third district. The list of Third district possibilities also includes J. E. Brooks of Sedan and Frank C. Wade of Fredonia. Chares Gibbens of Nickerson. form er chairman of the Reno county Re publican committee, came to Topeka today with the Hutchinson crowd. The Reno Progressives are urging the eandldacy of Howard Payne of Hutchinson as a Bull Moose candidate for state auditor. Payne's candidacy will be determined largely bv the re will be determined largely by the re. ception it receives in Topeka today, it is claimed, and -the Reno county boosters about 25 of them are los ing no opportunities to tell of Payne's qualifications and Progressive affilia tions. Mrs. H. H. Waters, McPherson; Miss Laura V. Ward, Osborne, and Miss Helen Dawson, Lawrence, were among the women who arrived this morning for the banquet. McPherson county, which sent three delegates to the Kansas Day club ban- quet, today registered a crowd of 28 for the Bull Moose dinner.

McPher son is regarded as one of the strongest Progressive counties in the state. Cyrus Leland, pioneer Kansas poli tician, is confined to his bed at his home in Troy and could not come to the meeting. But E. 9. Leland, a son of the veteran, is here. Charles Shel ton, William Shelton and George P. Hayden and wife, also came from Troy. Marcellus Murdock of Wichita, brother of Congressman Victor Mur dock, is here with the Sedgwick coun ty delegation. A good many visitors made the mistake of wishing Marcel lus success in his senatorial fight. But it didn't worry the Wichita man. He told the Progressives to kisdly vote for his brother. Mike Sutton of Dodge City to here. Sutton is a 33d degree Progressive and has not missed a meeting of -the Bull Moose warriors since the new party was organized. He wants a full ticket nominated In Ford county, but admit ted that he was not certain whether one would be put in the field. Charles Kerr, mayor of Independ ence, came to the banquet and busi ness meetings. Kerr promptly put a maxim silencer on his boom for con gress in the Third district and de clared that he would not run. Samuel Griffin of Medicine Lodge, who sought the Republican nomina tion as attorney general two years ago. came to the Bull Moose gathering with a small delegation from Barber county. "We will put a ticket in the field in Lyon county," said C. A. Stannard of Emporia, former state senator from the Twenty-fourth district. "Our po sition has not changed and we stand for the same things we represented in 1912 and are willing to fight for them." James Clayton of Great Bend, who came to the meeting with p. W. Daw son, believed that the Bull Moose will poll a big vote in the Seventh district. "Should Neeley enter the senatorial race," said Clayton. "Dawson will be a real contender in the congressional race." "No, sir. Cloud county Progressives will not enter into any harmony pro gram with the Bristow-Capper combi nation," said Gomer Davies. veteran editor of the Concordia Kansan. "Our fight means something and there will be no compromise." Davies declares that a full Progressive ticket will be nominated in Cloud county. "Our fight hasn't stopped for one minute," declared Miss Helen Eacker of Lawrence, secretary of the Progres sive state committee. "We are right. Tf there is to be harmony, let it be on Progressive party principles." "With a genuine Progressive plat form and strong candidates, we will make a great showing in the election this year," said O. W. Dawson of Great Bend, candidate for congressional nom ination in the Seventh district. "Per- sonally, I would like to see Allen get In the gubernatorial race, but if he does not run, I am mighty strong for Sheffield Ingalls. Either of these men. with Murdock for senator will poll a Wo. vote In the Seventh district and ixriii make inroads in the Democratic vote." Will Beck of Holton came with the delegation of some 20 or 30 Jackson county Progressives. Beck's name has j been mentioned as a possible First dis- I trtct congressional candidate, but tne Holton editor declares that he wants I someone else to run.

Richard J. Hopkins, former lieu- tenant governor, is here from Finney county with Samuel Oxley and A. H. Burtis. Hopkins has been suggested as a Progressive candidate for lieuten ant governor this year, but stated to day that he did not care to engage in politics as a candidate this year. "Jackson's return to the Republican party will not shake the Progressives lin Greenwood county," said George E. Tucker of Eureka, Jackson's former home town. "If Jackson was right two years ago, there was no occasion for his change." Six years ago Tucker made the race for congress against 25o a Oof km Cmm Cay J. M. Miller. He advocated progres sive principles. Following his defeat for the nomination, he was urged to run in 1910, but gave way to Jackson. The way had been paved for victory and Miller was beaten. Tucker. White, Stannard, Ganse and others 1 wno aided in Jackson s victory are now in the Progressive party. J. E. Brooks, a Sedan lawyer. is participating in the councils of the Bull Moose leaders. Brooks has been frequently mentioned for congress In the Third district. "At no time have I been in the race," said Broooks, "and you can say that I will not be a candidate." John Landon, Independence; Nor man Hay, Sedan, and Harry Woods, Wellington; delegates to the Roosevelt Chicago convention in 1912, are still firm in the faith and came to Topeka today for the second annual dinner of the new party. B. J. Northup of Kansas City, Kan., probable candidate for state auditor, is in the delegation from Wyandotte county. O. O. Wolfe, former state senator from Franklin county, will attend to night's banquet. Wolfe is strong for the Bull Moose cause and believes that a third party ticket will be launched In Franklin county. About 25 Pro gressives came to Topeka from Ottawa this morning. Henry Lassin. George Cubin, J. A. Carter, B. M. Leach, John Jdassey, Frank Wood, W. P. Campbell, Paul Eaton and J. P. Doze were in the del egation which arrived today from Wichita. About 25 banquet tickets were sold to Sedgwick county Pro gressives. E. W. Claussen, Atchison, and R. M. Emery, Seneca. both congressional possibilities in the First district, are participating In today's meetings. WILL STAY IN TOPEKA Rock Island Will Not Move Passenger Offices at This Time. A load was taken from Topeka's mind today upon the assurance from James A. Stewart, general passenger agent of the Rock Island Lines, that the gen eral offices of -the passenger depart ment of the second district would not re moved to Kansas City at this time. Mr. Stewart has just returned from Chicago, where bfe has been in confer- I ence with executive officers of the road. 1 He said that Topeka would be retained as district headquarters of his depart- 1 merit indefinitely, as far as he knew. j i am not know of that signature giving my office in Kansas City until I returned to my office last evening," Mr. Stewart said. "I am confident that it was a mistake." At no time has advice been received In Topeka to the effect that the general passenger offices would be moved to Kansas City immediately.

Elder, aged 85 years and a pioneer resident of Crawford county, proudly displayed to friends today a volume of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. On the ye'lowed fly leaf appear the words: To R. M.

When he had knotty problems he went to Lincoln and Lincoln advised him how to decide., "And many times I've taken, the credit in court the next day," Mr. Elder said today.

TEUSIHl STOnYilTESTERTJ LEAGU2 Mrs. Bond ibe First Witeesa-io Take the Stand In Her '$SO,000 Damage Salt Against Senator Gore. Oklahoma Cityjeb. U. Mi Mb ale E. Bond ot Oklahoma City today gave her version In district court here of what occurred at. a Washington hotel March 24 last when. It la alleged, she was attacked by United States Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma. Mrs. Bond is seeking to recover $50, 000 in damages from the senator. -Mrs. Bond charged that she was Mixed by Senator Gore while discuss ing with him, in a room at the hotel, the prospects of her husband, Julian Bond, obtaining; appointment to a fed eral position. She 'declared she met the senator at" his suggestion. A jury was obtained after 5( talesmen had been examined. Against the contention of the plain tiff, counsel for Senator Gore charged In the open court that the suit was the result of a political conspiracy, that it was the senator who was seized and that he met Mrs. Bond at her re quest. Twelve -witnesses have been summoned by the defense and about the same number by the plaintiff. Of the latter T. E. Robertson, James Jacobs and Kirby Fitzpatrick. all of Oklahoma, will be called as witnesses to the alleged occurrence. The meeting between Mrs. Bond and the senator was in Jacobs's apart ments, which were used because Mrs. Bond's room had not been put in order. The majority of the Jury- Is farmers, and all are. comparatively young- men. In politics, six declared themselves to be Democrats, five' members of the Progressive party and one Socialist. Before court adjourned yesterday District Judge Clark ruled that only the present reputations of the parties to the suit would be considered. Under this ruling a number of depositions ob tained by both sides will be excluded. Plaintiff Takes the Stand. Heavily veiled and apparently agi tated, Mrs. Bond took the stand today when the case was called. A formal introduction during the state legisla ture in 1908, was her first meeting with Senator Gore., she said. Just before Governor Cruce's inauguration in Jan uary. 1911, she met the senator at an Oklahoma City banquet when she broached the subject of Bond's appoint ment.

According to officials of the bureau. training schools for nurses throughout the country are steadily effecting im provements in their work ana conai- tions. The professional iieia oi ing is widening and embracing new and important activities, and offering new incentives to effort. One of the notahla developments in the last two years, since the last complete report on the subject has been lssuea. application of nurse service in ever- Increasing extent to the puDiic kbuu Public interest in hospitals and training schools Is growing, and an in telligent public opinion on nursing affairs-is gradually forming. The educa tion of nurses, long lookea upon as matter in which hospitals only were concerned, is now beginning to be seen as a matter in which tne puoiic aio is deeply and necessarily concerned. Sulzer says that grafters got 18.000.000 out of the state of New York. Inasmuch as he is "the same old Bill," he ought to know. Still, the Rothschild who paid f 5,000 for a flea will probably be able to get his money's worth of diversion out of it if he places it properly. Taiuui has probably reached the conclusion by this time that Con gressman-Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson Is among the dead and burlea, Secretary Bryan appears to be an other one of those peace enthusiasts who are keen for the expenditure of large sums of money for military purposes. Conditions seem to be shaping them elves so that Kansas will experience another crop faljure. This time, though, it's the ice crop that is likely to be negligible. Eighty-two murders a year In Kan sas, which is the figure for each of the last two years. Is a rather unusual record for a land of prohibition and peace and plenty. Rigid rules as to the right of way In the air will soon have to be framed. Another collision between two flying machines occurred the other day, this time In Germany. It occurs to the Washington Post that now that a naval officer has won prize for writing on "Intelligent co operation Is of infinitely more value than mechanical obedience," it be hooves the army mule to take note. At least one redeeming feature Is to he found in the Mexican situation. There is small likelihood that John Llnd will write a book or give lectures on his experiences in that much-muddled land when he finally returns home. Perhaps President Wilson Is Insist ing on all haste In the enactment of rural credits' legislation because he lias figured It out that the farmers Will need unusual assistance to offset the severe bumps that the new tariff law Is giving them. Sooner or later a crusade will be begun for man's rights. Along comes a Georgia judge with a decision that a husband has no right to kiss his wife against her will. But, come to think of it, what sort of a man is he who would care to kiss a wife under such circumstances? They're rioting in Japan nowadays and the demonstrations are not of an anti-American variety. They are pro tests on the part of the Japanese peo pie against the grafting of their public officials.

Senator Teasdale said the lnvestiga tion thus far conducted, had con vinced him additional legislation needed.

Frank Newland, commissioner of water and lighting, was at one time a member of the fire department. In response to a fire in North Topeka, he drove a one horse fire wagon. The chief was on the back end. Mr. New land discovered his horse was unman ageable. The wagon struck a bump Inf. Tt was should be the last man to abandon a doomed structure, as ions as me water flowed through the hose, the veteran stuck to his post. He was a constant stimulant to the eriiciency oi the officers and men under his charge. Hia Power of Endurance. Smalt of stature, but rugged and vigorous. Chief Wilmarth always has been a most familiar cnaracier in Topeka. His attention to the most trivial affairs of his men made him a lovable character a type oi maniy love. His recognition of service and duty, brought under his direction a most competent and loyal depart ment of nremen and officers. His at tention to the smallest details of his office and working equipment made him an official of value and economy to the city of Topeka. The lire chief would nave Deen i years of age this spring. His last fif teen vears of service nave Deen a marvel to his friends and associates. His power of endurance, his ability to withstand the soakings of wintry blasts, his constant service at the of fice, his exposure to the neat ana cold his physical makeup has suf fered the torments of a score of nat ural lives. Chief Wilmarth began puDiic ser vice by the organization of a volun teer fire department in Topeka the first in th history of the city. He was appointed the first chief oi tne paid department. He has built up the organization until today it in cludes ten companies, 64 men and possesses $160,000 in equipment. The last wora tnat tne cniei sent to his men was Wednesday morning yesterday. He called "Tommy" Hig- glns, his driver ror years ana now in charge of station No. 5, to his side. Reaching up ana giving nis lamuiur nat nn th shoulder, the chief Bald: This Is weanesaay ne soou to day. Tommy, my boy." It seems tnat weanesaay always has been the hardest day for the de partment in Topeka. It was the one day in the week that "Tommy" drove the chiefs car. And for many moons the unlucky Wednesdays have wit nessed from one to live iires. ai wan the first Wednesday for months that the chief was not ready to respond to the alarm. S Kind, biweiuloyal..' fearless a grand old man. Truly, Topeka has been stricken today!. at a certain hydrant, but the horse went right on by, following another fire wagon which was ahead, and stop ping only when the other team stopped. As soon as the fire was over Mr. New land was called "on the carpet." "Why did you disobey my orders and not slow down when I told you to?" demanded the chief. "I could not stop the horse," was Newland'B reply. "Why did you go on to the next hydrant when I told you to stop at the first?" was the chiefs next ques tion. Again Newland replied that he could not manage the horse. "You are a large, husky young man Mr. Newland, why could you not stop that horse?" demanded the chief. Then Mr. Newland explained thatf In the hurry of hitching up, someone had neglected "to place the bit in the horse's mouth. The horse had simply taken his own gait and followed the other team. Was a Fearless Ma n. Incidents showing th3 chiefs fearless ness in fighting, fires are innumerable. Many times he was carried out of burn ing buildings by his men. At a fire sev eral years ago at Tenth and Topeka avenues, he rushed into the buildng and fell through the charred floor into the basement. Smoke had overcome him when he was rescued by two of his firemen. When the old Crawford opera house on Jackson street burned years ago, he fell through a skylight and received an ugly gash on his head. Again he was rescued by his firemen. Commis sioner Newland recalled a fire near Kansas avenue on Crane street. The chief was knocked over by a stream of water, fell through a hole In the roof and landed astride a joist with his feet portruding through the plastering of the celling. He was rescued by Mr. Newland. Knowing his disregard for danger. the prediction was often made that when death came to the aged chief, It would find him actively fighting a fire. IP FARMERS WOULD WRITE. There Is money in English, and lit erature from the farm could well be one of the annual farm crops, sug gests D. M. In the Kansas Industrial ist. The farmer who can get up simple-worded, well-balanced article on some live farm subject has no trou bin In selling his story. The farm journals and Sunday dailies, are con stantly on the lookout for just such articles, and the editor of your local weekly would be very, very thankful for any contributions. If the subject in nf n mechanical nature, there are the trade journals and the magazines of the state and the city ordinances. devoted to mechanics. The papers have recently been endeavoring by various means to create an Interest in writing of this sort. One magazine offers a monthly cash prize of 120, in addition to their regular space rate. for the best article sent In by a non professional writer. If the farmer would only train him self to look at the everyday events of his community from the viewpoint of the newspaper man, he would see ma. terial for a dozen good stories every time he drives to town, or goes across the fields to a neighbor's. The mater lal is found all about the farm and neighborhood. The farmer, however. seldom thinks of the news or human interest value of a story of how Bill Jones stopped the wash from the big ditch that was carrying away his land, and how he now has in its place a permanent pond from which he waters his stock, irrigates his garden, and gets fish for his table.

This is the longest service record of any flrn chief in the United states. Chief Wilmarth was a strict dis ciplinarian, although not harsh.

When Eleanor Gaynor learned that her attractive young sister had be come engaged to George McWade, she flew into a calm yet intense anger. "You have no right to engage your self to one of the finest men in the village simply out of pique!" she told her sister frankly. Sincerity was Elea nor's chief charm. Gladys glanced swiftly up while guilty color flamed her cheeks. She would have spoken had Eleanor given her an opportunity. "Because Harry Fawcett happened to take another girl to the theater -is no reason why you should engage your self to a man whom you have not the slightest intention of marrying." 'How do you know I won't marry George?" demanded Gladys. 'Because you are In love with Faw cett. I think even your frivolous heart would not permit you to marry one man while loving another,'' Eleanor stated calmly. I am not In love with Fawcett, de nied Gladys, but her voice trembled. "And I am going' to show him whether I do or do not." she added. "Gladys, why won't you see that Fawcett took Miriam to the theater because she is his sister's guest? I think if you are going to wait for him to come back on bended knees to you you will wait a long time. He is not the kind of a man to be twined about a girl's finger." "We will see," muttered Gladys. "Dearie," said Eleanor patiently, "your head has Just been turned by so many admirers. Why. will you not listen to advice? I have had perhaps as many proposals in my life as you will ever have, and it is only because I have been fair and square with men I want you to be the same, instead of spiteful and narrow." But Gladys was not to be cajoiea ana her vanity had been hurt. I think I can manage my own ai- fairs," she said with her eyes flashing. and what's more I will marry ic- Wada bv -oecial license if I so desire." She swept out of the room with her head in the air. Eleanor sank into a chair and pon dered. After all, Gladys was very young. It might be that in time she would grow to love Mc wade, put tne chances were slim. Gladys had formed a deep, if tempestuous love for Henry Fawcett and in her greater knowledge of human natura Eleanor felt that Fawcett was the ideal mate for her small sister. In any ease It is not fair to Mc Wade," she decided. "I would not want any girl to treat a brother of mine as Gladys is treating George McWade. I think," she paused in thoughtful con sideration, "yes. I know it will be the best thing to do in the end to go straight' to him and have a good sen- sible talk with him." Eleanor arose and donned her out-door garments and went down toward the village business aistrict. She had met McWade but once or twice and her knowledge of the young architect was slight. When she entered his private office and stood face to face with the stalwart McWade her Interference with his love affair seemed strangely humorous. His smile was genial and his hand clasp warm. Eleanor returned his smile and gazed anxiously back at him. "You are engaged to my sister?" she questioned in her straightforward man ner. "It Is about her I have come to talk not the building of a house," she added with another of her rarely sweet smiles. I have the honor of having won your sister's hand," said McWade, more than a trifle curious but oddly interested in his visitor. He had not recalled Glady's sister as having so remarkably beautiful a pair of eyes. "rler hand but not her heart! Eleanor said bluntly, but none the less sympathetically. "Do you realize tnat, Mr. McWade?" "Well no I did not know the exact state of her heart. My speaking to uiaays was ratner sudden unex pected at the moment even to my self. She was looking unusually ap pealing; there were music, and scent of flowers and a young moon. I pro posed and Gladys accepted me." He looked frankly into Eleanor's amused eyes and found himself not one whit overcome by the knowledge of what sne naa toia mm. Vlt seemed a dreadful thing for me to do," she continued, "to come and inform you that my sister accepted you out of pique, but somehow I could not make myself see the right of let ting you two marry under the cir cumstances. I sincerely believe It would mean unhappiness to Gladys ana yourseir m a very short time. McWade was silent for a long mo. ment while he contemplated with a very deep interest the girl who had the courage to talk straight from the heart, as Eleanor Gaynor had done. He knew it was no slight task she had taken upon herself and that only great affection for her sister had prompted it. "You are a brick," was the way McWade expressed the bulk of his sentiment. "I am not going to rave and stalk about the office here be cause of Gladys's lack of love for me. I think, however, I could make her happy." He kept his glance fixed on Eleanor and wondered how she had escaped his notice while the more frivolous Gladys had Interested him. Eleanor found herself flushing un der his steady gaze, but scarcely knew a reason for her sudden shyness. "What would you suggest by way of saving the situation without bringing any unpleasant relations between Gladys and myself?" asked McWade finally with so unexpected a twinkle In- bis eyes that Eleanor rorgot nor nervousness and smiled at him. I hardly know wnat to say, told him. "For the moment uiaaya la determined to marry you by special license simply because I told her sne did not love you." i McWade laugnea nearuiy. T m afraid. Mies Gaynor. yon are guilty of having ruffled your sister feathers." He became suddenly seri ous. "I will hold Gladys to her prom ise to marry me until she herself asks release.

He hung up the receiver ana turned to Eleanor. She was laughing happily if a bit emotionally. "The situation Is saved without our help," McWade told her. "Gladys and George Fawcett are on their way for special license. She, my erstwhile betrothed, suggested that I call upon her sister and make her peace for her." McWade waited mbre anxious ly than he had ever awaited the words of any girl for Eleanor's answer. "It would be a very good ending," she said without looking up at him.

"He never hesitated to call any of the fire department boys on the car pet when he thought they needed a reprimand," said Mayor Cofran, "but after one of the boys nad received a talking to that was the end of the inci dent. He reserved to himself the right to do all the criticizing of the men un der him. and no one resented a criti clsm of his men quicker than he did. He was loyal to every man in the fire department. Only a few months ago I attempted to talk to him about the conduct of some of his men.

The guests are received by the hostesses and are seated at quartet tables. During the serving there is dancing in the hall this time the performance to be given by a professional dancer from Kansas City and at intervals the guests themselves can nance. For months society has been learn ing the tango; oft have they to para phrase a line from Hamlet "crooked the unpregnant hinges of their knees" in an effort to fall and rise and fall and rise again in the undulations of the dip. Great has been the de mand for witch hazel and wood alco hol with which they have laved their aching Joints. But it has not been in vain, for the time is at hand when the society contingent can have real parties for the display of their dearly acquired accomplishment.

The "trouser trotter" suit for women has arrived in the east, and has been seen in Topeka as well. It consists of a slit skirt the slit al most to the knee with modesty appeas ed by a pair of trousers underneath. The trousers are not only made of serge but are mannishly creased. The only thing deceptive about them is that they are not regular trousers. They go only to the knees, where they are neia Dy elastic oanas. Mme. Bernard, a dressmaker, brought the first "trouser trotter' to New York. She said that it would soon be accept ed by all fashionable American wo men because it is warm as well as dis creet. "Parisian women of the fashionable set are never vulgar," she said. "They do not believe in showing their ankles. Moreover they are very sensible, as this new Idea of fashion shows. The trouers not only serve the pupose of delicacy but they shield the wearer from the chills that the clit skirt pro vokes."

Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dand ruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so natur ally and evenly that nobody can tell It has been applied it's so easy to use. too. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; af ter another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. Adv. parents, Mr. and Mrs! H. O.

Gaines, Union Pacific special agent, is again having troubles all of his own. There is a gang of boys in North Topeka who are tearing the lining out of freight cars in order to get the wheat which has worked in between the lining and the outer wall of the cars. For many years it has been the custom of a number of boys to gather up the sweepings in the freight cars after they have been un loaded at the mills. They take the sweepings to one of the stores- in North Topeka and sell them. The railroad has not objected to this until recently when a number of the boys began to pry the inside lin ing off the cars in order to get the wheat which was behind it. Accord ing to Mr. Gaines the boys are us ing a small bar to pry the boards off and quite frequently the car is dam aged to no little extent. Owing to this Gaines is planning to arrest the first boy he catches in the cars. Most of the cars which were damaged in this manner were on the sidetracks near the mills and eleva tors in North Topeka. "They even go so far as to knock holes in the cars before they are un loaded," said Mr. Gaines this morn ing. "There are a number of stores in North Topeka buying this wheat from the boys. Some of them have been asked to stop a number of times but they pay little attention to the re quests. If they continue to buy this wheat they are simp'y encouraging the boys to steal the' wheat and are not helping them in the least." Work Stopped Again. Work on the various improvements and buildings in North Topeka has again been temporarily abandoned on account of the unsettled weather. There is little outside work being car ried on at the Boys' Industrial school. Work on the new fire station has been abandoned for the time being. It has almost become a tradition in North Topeka that when some building or improvement is commenced some thing happens to delay it. Mason at Grantville. President W. N.

JACKSON'S STATEMENT He Is a Republican Now Denounces Progressive Party Plan. Fred S. Jackson has announced that he is a Republican. In the same state ment, Mr. Jackson made it very clear that he held the same views about the need of a. third party as the ideas en tertained by the close Bris tow-Capper organization. It is also quite apparent that Mr. Jackson agrees with Mr. Cap per and Senator Briatow that a tenta tive state platform is a folly and that any platform except one written by the candidates themselves after their nom ination would be a step in the wrong direction. Six months ago, Jackson began feel ing his way back to the Republican party. For fully two months he has been recognized as one of the converts to the theory that the creation of the Progressive party was a grave error. When Bristow announced that he was a Republican, Jackson was one of the in terested parties in the proposed peace pact between the Bristow-Capper in terests and the Stubbs-White-Murdock-Allen interests. This peace agreement had for its purpose the swallowing up of the Bull Moose party by the Repub licans and the adoption by the Repub lican party council of the platform pol icies of the Bull Moose party. The ne gotiations failed. But Jackson remain ed firm in the faith of the party which he deserted two years ago and now ap peals for Bull Moose-Republican har mony, and a candidate written plat form. He says: "If it is really necessary to have a conference of the different elements constituting the Republican party be fore the August primary, let us do so in an orderly and legal manner by convening the party council. This council speaks for the party and is composed of representatives legally chosen at the legal primary which is the child of the Republican party'. "I have no personal interest in the present campaign, no axe to grind, no hatchet to sharpen, and no stiletto to conceal. Three times I have been hon ored by an election on the Republican and congressional ticket. The party was progressive then and I have not the slightest doubt if those who worked to make It so then will con tinue their earnest endeavors within the party in the light of our present progressive evolution, it will be easy to keep the party progressive."

UnOU MAY DUST WHY Brers Won't Agree to Trade to Benefit Chicago Boss. Won't Submit to Boston Deal Gets Money if Sold. xr-, VorU. Feb. 12. Whether Johnny Kvers jumps from organized baseball seems likely to be decided to day when the persuasions of National league officials on the one side are pitted against the tempting offers the Federal leaguers are setting before him on the other. While the AepoaeA manager of the Chicago Cubs is known to be Inclined to remain with organized 'baseball forces if he can do o on terms he considers fair to him self, he has declared he would listen with more than ordinary attention to the offers of the outlaws if he were elated to stay with the Cubs or made to figure in a deal by which Charles Webb Murphy, pres dent of the .Chi cago Nationals, would benefit. While the forces of organized baseball were weakened today by the absence of Governor John K. Tener, president ol the National league, who has gone to Harrisburg, leaving his proxy with lretary John A. Heydler the outlaw ranks were in a way to be materially strengthened for the clash by me ex pected presence here of Joe Tinker; manager of the Chicago Federal Eauf club, who helped to make the famous "Tinker-Evers-Chance 'com bination in the old Cub lnfleld and who is expected by the Federals to be able to bring more than ordinary Influence to bear on Evers in the way of turning him toward the aew league The Evers Incident brought forth rumors today that plans for the elim ination of President Murphy from baseball were being considered by Na tional league club owners who. are said to resent his attitude in several recent matters affecting the interest of the league and of organized base ball as a whole. While both major league officials were in numerous con ferences today discussing .plans to combat the Federal league. President ..i oni nthpr officials of the new organization awaited the arrival of Manager Tinker from Chicago and Otto Stlefer from St. Louis, when it was said an Important announcement j o-montori. The Federal league officials have been especially Murine the last few days and much interest is manifest in their presence here, while the big league representatives are in session.

Feb. 12. Adverting to his own experience as manager of tne r.,K Franlr PhlinRfl SaVS: "No man with red blood In his veins fnr Murnhv. He treats ball players as slaves. Some people thought I was crazy wnen i ihit v on ail the stock I owned in the Chi cago club, but I am sure they do not think so now. T -oram nhl to continue with the Cubs as long as I did because I had a side contract, apart from my contract as a player, to manage the team and by the terms of this contract, Murphy had no control whatever over the team. He could not have come into the clubhouse without my consent un der the terms or mat manager con tract. If it had not been for that. Murphy wo-uld have disrupted the or ganization and we never would have had a championship team. "Let me give two instances. Evers was injured some three years ago in an accident. He was unable to play much the following season. Murphy wanted to dock him take his salary away. I would not permit it. "Then Murphy took a dislike to Mordecai Brown, his pitching standby for years and who had won four pen nants for Chicago, and wanted to send him to Louisville. Murphy had an understanding with Louisville that Brown would be given that team nnlv on condition that he was not subsequently traded to any major league club. Thus he hoped to con demn Brown to the minors for life. Why? Pure cussedness. He was bent on getting rid of Brown and did not want any competing club to get him. Rut T also stoDDed that scheme and this marked the beginning of the end for me as manager of the Chicago Cubs. "Evers." Chance went on, "was real ly deposed last autumn when Murphy announced before he went to Europe .that Johnny no longer would have any power to buy, sell or trade players. That reduced Evers to the position of the field captian. "Of course. New York wants Evers. I don't care what the president of the Chicago Fedei-als says about paying $5,000 more than the best organized baseball offer for him. We will pay more. I don t care how much it is. Situation Is Complicated. New York, Feb. 12. The baseball status of Johnny Evers, successor to Frank Chance as manager of the Chicago Na tional League club, is one of the mys teries of organized baseball. Evers is In rhnxrf to believe that he is a free agent Charles W. Murphy, of the Cubs, declared that he is the property of the Boston Na- I i i- rws tionais ana tne Banrai ucmm, ord as acting in the capacity of guardian to the peppery second baseman. This complicated situation developed as the result of Mr. Murphy's action in wr ing Henry O'Day as manager of the cum before he legally released Evers from tne same position. At a special meeting of the board of di rectors and the National League as a whole that body of magnates decided that Evers had not resigned, as contended oy Murphy, and that his five-year contract as manager and player was valid ana binding. The league further agreed to take oyer all rights and responsibilities under tne contract, thus helping Murphy out of an embarrassing position. The Boston club immediately enterea into a contract with Murphy to trade m; fielder W. J. Sweeney and Pitcher Huo Purdue for Evers, but the latter declarea he would not be a party to the contract. He' Insisted that unless arrangements ac ceptable to him were made, he would sign with, the Federal League wnlcn', stated, had made him a liberal proposition for three years of play, including a cash bonus to be delivered upon the signing oi contract Evers stated emphatically he had no grievances against the Boston club or the National League as a whole, and. In tact, told President James E. GalTney. of Bos ton, that he would rather play with that I team than the Federals.

While this JUNK is written a short time before the Western League schedule meet ing in Chicago is called to order and no source of information possible which gives us an opportunity to get a definite line on the results of the "conflict,' at least two or probably all of the board of di rectors of the circuit may be ousted from office.

McGill formed the habit of graDmng pennants and having a good ball club with a man ager with the fighting spirit but he is a good sport, i-i e nas enougn red mooa m his veins to cause a thrill every time his team won a contest and did not attempt to null off a "stunt when it lost. Per sonally, he was a good fellow well met. and in business no one ever doubted his position. McGill was willing to take a stand at the very beginning and was game enough to explain it and strong willed enough to maintain it. He got control of the Denver club four years ago and added new blood wmch enabled it to finish in 'second place. Since then, his team has been a continuous winner. Holland ana Rourke reerred to McGill as a "fresh guy." They did not take him seriously but he convinced them that he could de liver the goods and has probably done as much as any other man on the circuit to contest their control of affairs. McGill will -robably spend less time on Western League affairs than usual as he will be compelled to look after his Interests in Indianapolis but it is a safe bet that he will he on the spot when he can do the most good. It Is his ambition to control a major league club and he appears to be In a fair way to succeed. The Evers affair, coming when It did. may change the entire baseball situation. Previous to this announcement, it ap peared that the organized clubs had the Federal League whipped to a finish but C. W. Murphy's rash act mav give tho Independents new life and enable the lat ter to make a showing. The Federals be gan negotiating for the services of Evers as soon as his release as manager of the Chicago Cubs was announced but Frank Chance of the New York Americans ap pears to have the advantage in securing his services. The danger of Federal suc cess will diminish if Evers joins some oth er organized club, but if he should decide to Join one of the Federal League clubs, the Independents would come up stronger than was ever expectea. Murphy has be gun to break under the strain of Federal League activity and frequent explosions mav be heard In the future. He is one of the poorest sports in baseball and the Federal activities will work on him with tp'.linw effect. Garry Herrmann is about Mumhv's caliber in this respect, and in cidentally, the Federals annear to be more act've In Chicago and Cincinnati. This probably accounts for the thunderous noises which emit f'om the two cities and hve caused Murphv and Herrmann to break into the press reports with such regularity. Washington, Feb. 12. President Charles R. Van Hise, of the University of Wisconsin, propcaed before the Chamber of Commerce of America here today that the Sherman anti-trust law should be supplemented by an act which would forbid only combinations and contracts in restraint of trade that are detrimental to the welfare of the people. He charged that for politi cal reasons laws against monopolies and restraints of trade are enforced only against "big business," the small dealer, the farmer and the laborer be ing permitted to combine and monopo lize at will. "Tinder the enforced competitive sys- iMuidunt Van Hise said, "we are 'recklessly skimming the cream of the natural resources of a virgin con tinent, with no concern ror me iuiuix. To support this contention, the speak' er natri that the coal mines could pro duce 200,000,000 tons more coal per year than the market demanded, but that the operators, regulated by the Sher man act, were compelled to handle their mines, without co-operation in limiting the output, dividing territory, or regu intiir nriooa Rnch Dractices result. he said, in mining in a wasteful fash nn ,n.i,in htrir veins and neglect' Ing the thin veins in order to get coal to the market at the lowest possible cost. Limitation of Output.

"So far as the public Is concerned in the separation of the Union Pacific and Southern Paciiic railways, tne oniy ei fect is that there will be fewer through trains, greater expense in accounting, and less close co-operation between the two systems, in handling the rreigni and passenger business. "I am willing to stand for enforce ment of the law when it is enforced aliko for all. but when some one is picked out because it is good politics to attack him, and the others are al lowed to escape. I say. It is a pro foundly immoral situation. To have a statute which requires the officials of justice to close one eye whenever they pass by the men in control oi some industries and. at the same moment see other men not one whit more guilty is not Justice. And that is exactly tne existing situation in this country." Small Trusts as Well. The sneaker said it had been general ly assumed that the only violators of the Sherman act were combinations such as the Steel and Tobacco trusts, and that the small business men ana small nroducers were not dealt with under the law although they co-operate in exactly the same way as the more powerful organizations. "Congress well understands this situ ation," he continued, "and at a recent session a paragraph containing an ap propriation of J300.000 for the enforce ment of the anti-trust laws was at tached, with a proviso, that none of the money should be spent in prosecut intr combinations or agreements of labor, or for the prosecution of pro ducers of farm products and associa tions .of fanners. "Some state legislatures, including Texas. Louisiana, Illinois and South Dakota, appreciated that the farmers had so many votes ihat they had to be dealt with gently when they form a. trust and acted accordingly. "I confidently look forward to a new era of social responsibility on the part of both the well-to-do and the poor," Mr. Van Hise concluded, "and to a time when reason and science rather than vested Interest shall control eco nomic legislation."

Professor Taft In a Signed Ar ticle Warns the Pnhlle HONORS HONEST ABE. Chicago Celebrates Elaborately Anni versary of Lincoln's Birth. Chicago, Feb. 12. Chicago today hon ored Abraham Lincoln on the anni versary of his birth. Plans had been made to make this a day of wide cele bration. Scores of patriotic programs had been arranged. Banks, the Stock Exchange, the Board of Trade and all public offices were closed. Members of the Chicago historical society trav eled 75 miles west to De Kalb county, to a point on Kishwaukes creek, where they marked with boulders, the place where Lincoln ana jenerson Davis, then soldiers in. the Black Hawk war, met in 1832 for the first time. Among those present at this meeting were General Zaphariah Taylor, after wards president of the United States, and Major Robert Anderson who de fended Fort Sumter in 186L General KILL THE CATARRH GERM --USE HYOMEI Wilson Has Another Gold. Washington. Feb. 12. President Wilson's engagements for today were cancelled, according to an announce ment at the executive office, because the president was ordered by his phy sician to stay in his room to recover from a cold. impossible qn any other site, and will be closely related also with Arlington cemetery, where those who fought for the Union are buried. It is planned to have, some day, a memorial bridge linking the Lincoln memorial and Ar lington. The design of the memorial is the work of Henry Bacon, a New York architect, approved by the Memorial commission. His idea was that the memorial to Lincoln should be com posed of four feaures a statue of the man, a memorial of his Gettysburg speech, a memorial of his second in augural address, and a symbol of the United States which he preserved. Each feature will be related to the others by means of design and posi tion and each will be so arranged that it will become an Integral part of the whole in order to attain unity and simplicity in the monument. Each feature is meant to impress the be holder with its greatest force and this it is sought to accomplish by means of isolation, though not to the extent if impairing the relation of each fea ture to the others. The Statue. The most important single object will be the statue of Lincoln, the plan being for a seated figure placed well in the back ground of the largest chamber. The sculptor has not yet been selected. This chamber will be unoccupied by any other object that might- detract from the effectiveness of the statue and the visitor will be alone with it. The smaller halls at each side of the central chamber each will contain a memorial, one of the Gettysburg ad dress and the other of the inaugural address, in bronze letters on monu mental tablets, while adjacent low reliefs will relate in allegory, Lincoln's qualities as evidenced by those speeches. While these memorials win De seen from any part of the hall they are to be Dartly screened from tne central chamber by means of a row of Ionic columns. Surrounding. the walls inclosing tbesn memorials to the man. is plan ned a colonnade forming a symbol of the union, each column representing o state 36 in all one for each exist ing at the time of Lincoln's death. On th wa.Ha above the colonnade sup ported at intervals by eagles will be 48 memorial festoons, one for each state now existing. Where Building Will Stand. Bv means of terraces the ground on whirh the memorial will stand will be j, i l. :i t raisea until ouiiums iuwii 45 feet higher than the present grade. First a circulaf terrace 1,000 feet in diameter will be raised 11 feet above the present grade and oh its outer edge will be planted four concentric rows of trees, leaving in me center a Dlateau 175 feet in diametei? greater than the length of the capltol. In the center of this plateau' surrounded by wide roadway and walks will rise an eminence suDDorting a stone terrace wall fourteen feet hign. Z5 reel long unH i Sfi feet wide. On this terrace will stand the memorial building of white marble, its lines of pure creeK beauty reflected in the waters or me lagoon at the foot of the broad steps. Started by Cullom. The movement for this Lincoln memorial was started in 1902 by the late Senator Cullom of Illinois. Lin coin's friend, who died only a few days ago, just too soon to enable mm to see the fruition of his purpose. From 1902 until last year the plan was In progress, final action having been taken under arotner Din intro duced bv Senator Cullom in 1910 Various suggestions as to the form the memorial should take were submit ted and considered, among them an arch on Meridian Hill, a memorial at Fort Stevens, a memorial bridge to connect Potomac Park with Arling ton Cemetery, and a government road to Gettysburg. At times there was considerable feeling displayed in the controversy. It is notable that the site finally se lected by the commission of fine arts. the memorial commission ana con gress itself, is me one nrsi recom mended by the park commission un der the act of 1902. Many of the ob jections made at that time to the site have passed witn me years, ine city had not developed so far in that direc tion at that time, the site was not so easily accessible and tne grouna was much lower and more swampy.

Executors and administrators of es tates of persons are required to pay the tax on the net income for the part of the year in which the deceased was alive. Where persons taxable refuse to make the proper list or return or make false return the regulations proviae that the proper collector of internal revenue, shall after due notice, make the return for such person and the tax shall be assessed on this return, with a 50 or 100 per cent, penalty added.

"No man and no party in the his tory of the country has done so much to destroy the confidence of the peo ple in the justice of the courts and in the existence of any possible indepen dent judiciary as have Mr. Roosevelt and the Progressive party," he writes. "Those of us who believe that Mr. Roosevelt's new theories of govern ment will seriously Impair that which we hold essential to the maintenance of liberty regulated by law and who at tne same time know that he Is a man of the greatest mental activity, of wonderfully attractive personality, oi iigntning quickness of apprehen slon, of exceptional facilitv for rlc turesque and forcible statement and the making of phrases that seise the public attention; of remarkable skill in selecting means of publicity; of ex traordinary power to ignore the argu ments and statements of facts of his adversaries; of still more extraordln ary power to Induce his followers to do so, and of indomitable courage to carry out his many theories by the ex ercise of governmental power, should he acquire it are justified in think ing that the most important thing to tne country is to defeat the ProgreS' slve party in presidential 'elections.

"Peaches" Graham, whose purchase from the Toronto club has been announced, hasn't signed and Wichita hasn't heard a word from him. The star catcher is in the lake region. Some fear is expressed that Wichita will lose him, as he was purchased with the nrovision that the sale didn't the Ko unless he is willing to play in Wich ita. When some other team nears this, Graham is likely to get an offer flattering enough to induce him to tell Wichita that he will not come to the Western. Nick Maddox. slated to be manager by some, hasn't signed a contract. If he is a holdout it isn't very likely that he will be given the reins of the team by D. E. Breese, the president." SEIZED WITH A CHILL El Paso, Feb. 12. Troopers of the United States, at dawn today resumed search for the Mexicans who last night headed across the Rio Grande, from the American side, carrying arms and supplies, in violation of the neutrality laws, to join the federal forces, at some, point unknown or to harass the rebel garrison at Juarez, across the river from El Paso. So far as the American cavalry officers could learn, the plot was to capture a corral of horses and saddles at Ysleta, 13 miles east of Here and about a mile from the river bank and rush them across. In some way this part of the plan miscarried, for the rush to the other side as reported by citizens of Tsleta was precipitated before many, if any of the horses could be stolen. The alarm reached General Hugh L. Scott, in command at Fort Bliss about 10 o'clock last night. Ranchers and others, whose homes are scattered along the road near Tsleta, telephoned Into the city to find out the cause of an unusual number of automobiles, some of which were covered with can vas and apparently carried boxes. Counts of the number of these varied from ten to fifty, but inquiry early in the morning indicated there were more than a hundred. Mrs. Mary O'Neill, the night telephone operator at Ysleta, saw six of them, seemingly laden with boxes under their canvas covers turn toward the river. They were without lights and she gave it as her opinion, based on knowledge of the roads and the lay of the land, that the machines disap peared in some of the numerous cor rals in Ysleta and were there unload ed. Five of them she saw again at 3 o'clock this morning, when with lights out and their loads discharged, they suddenly reappeared and dashed to ward El Paso. Money On Real Estate State Savings Back S.

Allen for Governor. Following the morning meeting of Kansas Progressives in the Grand opera house, 400 Bull Moosers crowded into the parlors of the National hotel to urge the candidacy of Henry J. Allen of Wichife.. Congressman Victor Murdock started the general stampede for Allen if It really needed a start when he aroused the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the Kansas Bull Moose by declaring that the third party b" drivine a rVd ha?S Tw ZZ, Ti A.r. .i.nM ih. Wichita, nub- De driving a red-haired horse, and the workers should take the Wichita pub lisher by the collar and push him into the fight. Murdock and XT. S. Sartin were the principal speakers at the morning meeting of the Progressives who made preliminary plans for the writing of a tentative state platform. The enthusi asm of the Progressive leaders was Just as .evident as at the meeting of the party workers a year ago when they declared for a new political organiza tion in the state. Some of the men who sat in the 1913 meeting were not pres ent today. But a large crowd of Kan sas men and women, nearly all of them out of town visitors for the banquet, sat in the theater today and forgot the young blizzard that they might attend i the meeting. The Allen for governor Doom, how ever, was the big feature of the morn- ing session. Delegates from every discussed the possibilities of Allen's candidacy. Allen himself had been non committal Party leaders refused to concede that there was no hope for the Allen announcement and Murdock sent the crowd to Allen's room to demand that he make the race. "We must close up our ranks In Kansas," declared Murdock, in ad dressing the Bull Moosers. "We not only want a candidate for United States senator, but we want a candi date for governor. Let every man and women remember room 270 at the National hotel. And let every on of you take Allen by the hand and the coat collar and push him Into this race." The proposal received a noisy re ception and the Bull Moose crowd did not forget Murdock's suggestion. "Let me think. Give me time. See me after lunch," were the excuses which Alien offered the several hun dred visitors who went to his room. "I don't want to run. I am with you, will fight for you, will put my Mfe into it; but I don't want to run." Allen's statements to his friends fol lowed earlier remarks to newspaper reporters who asked .him regarding his possible candidacy. "I am standing by my former dec larations," was all Allen had to say for publication. But the Allen boom was the reaU genuine article. And this afternoon the Progressive gubernatorial nomi nation is at Allen's disposal. Should Allen refuse to run, it is re garded as probable that Sheffield In galls of Atchison will be a candidate. Yet Ingalls will make no statement until Allen has announced his deci sion. "It still looks as though Allen will run," said Ingalls. "So far as any possibility of my own candidacy is concerned, there Is nothing which I can say at this time; and I will make no statement until Allen decides." The Morning Meeting. Planks for a tentative Bull Moose platform in Kansas are being drafted this afternoon by a committee named today from the eight congressional dis tricts of the state. That the prepri mary platform will declare for the most genuine progressive principles and per haps reaffirm all of the planks of the national platform of 1912, is the belief and hope of many of the Progressive leaders who are participating in to day's proceedings. During the noon hour members of the resolutions committee held a confer ence, but when the afternoon meeting was called at 2 o'clock, but little had been accomplished in the drafting of the platform principles of the corn in? camDaign. Willam Allen White. Progressive national committeeman for Kansas, declined to serve on the res i olutions committee and the places went 1 mainly to workers in the. several dis i trirta. Mr a. Kva Morley Murphy, of 1 Goodland, and O. W. Dawson of Great Bend, both congressional candidates, are the only state candidates who were j given places on the committee, j An effort to delay the appointment of a resolutions committee was voted down and the Bull Moosers In Topeka today indicated by almost unanimous vote that they wanted early action on i a platform. Harry Wright, an em- j ployee on the Capper publications, sought to delay the announcement of the First district members or tne com mittee until after the noon lunch heur. But Wright's plan received only hls individual vote, with the naming of the committee. Progressive leaders turned over to the members a big bunaie or proposea platform planks. The IncHded endorse ments of radical initiative and referen dum and recall policies, recall of Ju diciary and Judicial decisions, govern ment ownership of railroads and pub lic service corporations, national pro hibition, national suffrage and a half dozen welfare laws, as well as an en dorsement of the Massachusetts ballot law, and a provision declaring for the election of sundry officials on nonpar tisan ballots. Two members of the committee were named from each of the eight congressional districts and four mem bers at large were selected. All of the nominations were made by the con vention. Members of the committee to draft the tentative platform are: Platform Committee. First district George W. Hook. Sa betha; Dr. R. B. Guild. Topeka. Second district R. M. Perkins, Lawrence: A. G.

When Murdock was called to the stage, the crowd stood and cheered their senatorial candidate. Mur dock's message at the morning ses sion was short. He was listed for three speeches during the day, but he injected some of his poison into the morning discussion of political af fairs in Kansas. "We are here because we are tired of trafficking with the crowd of reac tionary old-line politicians," said Mur dock In his reference to the Progres sive-Republican breach. "We be lieve In our party and our principles and will succeed because of our con victions. Men with convictions were never Deaten by trimmers and strad- Kansas today.

The lowest Bristow has said that the Pro gressive party is made -up of generals, with no followers," continued Mur dock. "And I throw the challenge back in -his teeth. The Progressives are all generals and are fighting for a common cause that will win." At noon the meeting adjourned until 2:15. Platform Policies. Many platform policies were dis cussed last night by the earlv arrivals. The sentiment for the endorsement of radical resolutions favoring the lnitia- live ana referendum and recall was strong. There was also much, senti ment in favor of incorporation of an endorsement of the national platform of 1912 for recall of the Judiciary and Judicial decisions. Strong welfare laws, the minimum wage, maximum hour, widow's pension and more rigid labor laws were popular especially among the new voters, the Kansas women. These questions, however, will be threshed out by the resolutions committee named at the day's business session. Stubbs Is at Home Sick. Walter Roscoe Stubbs, a leader among the Kansas Progressives, is un der a physician's care at his home in Lawrence and was unable to attend today's meeting. In a letter to Nation al Committeeman William Allen White, Stubbs urged the adoption of a strong and truly Progressive state platform and pledged his loyal support to Mur dock and the remainder of the state ticket. Among the platform planks ad vocated by Stubbs in his letter to White were: Government ownership of railroads, telephone, telegraph and public service corporations,- endorse ment of national prohibition and na tional suffrage. Many Platform Recommendations. "I have a grip full of letters urging different platform planks," said White, who was one of the early arrivals for today's meeting. "No one knows Just the things that will find a place In the platform. No one can know until the resolutions are read and adopted. The suggestions which I have receiv ed will be turned over to the commit tee."

If the child plays on the street, near a saloon, gambling joint or other evIL his mor als will be regulated to a great extent by the social condition, rather than the influence of the father and moth er. This has been brought about by the urban movement, the change in tne mode or living in the cities ana country brought about by the rail roads, a telephone, telegraph, parcel post and other methods oi communi cation and social and business inter course. Conditions Changed. "The industrial conditions have changed from the individualistic to that of corporate control and this has brought about abuses and practices that must be corrected. There is no reason for any company to force a lockout upon ita employees, any more than there Is a reason for the strikes of employees. Both are stupid and foolish, but the clash between capital and labor cannot be stopped until the problems that confront capital and la bor are met and solved. .The human values in production must be changed to meet the new conditions. "Why is a twelve-hour day neces sary in the steel mills of this country when England and Germany are able to compete with us and they are eight-hour nations. We are 'junk ing our men every nine years in the steel mills and they bring to us feeble, dependent children- because of the strain of the twelve-hour day and simply because the owners of the mills are trying to pay a five per cent dividend upon millions of dollars of watered stock. "The women in the mills are unable to make a living wage and we find hundreds of them getting only one half or one-third as much in wages as is actually necessary for living ex penses and clothing in the same com munity. What Progressives Propose. "The Progressive party proposes an eight-hour day for workers and it would force it upon all classes of la bor so the competitive conditions would not be changed. We propose a living minimum wage for women workers that they would not be tempted into a life of shame to get sufficient money to live and we would put. a tax upon the product of child labor that would drive the child labor employers to send the children to school rather than keep them stunted and dependent in the mills. 'The farmers forced protection for pure butter against oleomargarine by put ting a tax upon the imitation butter. But there has been .no effort to in sure pure children until the Progres sive program came with putting a tax upon the product of child labor. The Invisible Government. "The political powers have changed in the last thirty years and inside the great parties there has grown up an invisible government that is in actual control. The rank and file of the par ties may be all right but when men like Barnes, Murphy, Sullivan, Wat oh and Penrose are In control of the actual powers of government 'within the parties the rank and file is unable to accomplish what it wishes. There is an interlocking bi-partisan combine of politicians whereby the crooked Democrats and Republicans alike meet in rooms in secret conference and di vide the spoils and determine what should be done. "It Is not possible for any party to accomplish great results when men of different stripes are actively engaged in the party's conduct. Bailey and Bryan in the Democratic party. Can non and LaFollette in the Republican party Indicate the two opposing fac tions within those parties that prevent united action along definite lines. Bryan Failed in 1904. "In 1904 when Parker was named by the Democrats William Jennings Bryan had his chance to lead a great progres sive movement like this one, an inde pendent movement for social justice. But he failed to rise to the needs of the time. In 1908 LaFollette was urged to head a similar movement against Taft and Bryan but he. too, failed to meas ure up to the need for a great leader of a great movement. But in 1912 Roosevelt sounded the battlecry of the new program and the result was start ling to the leaders of the old parties. Roosevelt had served as president- He had had great personal success and he could have remained at home, let Wil son oust Taft and then found the Re publicans coming to him. But not like Bryan and LaFollette, Roosevelt did not lack In economic and social vision. He saw the trend of the times and the need for a new program and gave himself to the cause without regard to personal success. The Zenith and the End. "The campaign of 1912 marked the end of the Republican party a viru lent force in the nation. It reached its zenth in 1909 when it was In ab solute control throughout the nation. Then Taft broke down the policy of conservation by the appointment of Ballinger, made Cannon and Aldrich his friends, passed the fake tariff law and gave every aid and comfort to the standpatters. In one year and eight months the Republicans had lost Maine, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio and West Virginia, and the house of rep resentatives was Democratic. All this was 18 months before the Progressive party was born. The Republican party had destroyed itself long before the Progressive party was ever thought of. Democrats Cannot Make Good. "The Democratic party cannot make good on its professions of progressive ideals. It is a party divided within itself. It still stands for state rights, a doctrine that was of real value in the early days of the nation but which has no value or force under the new social and industrial conditions under which we are now liwing. The doctrine interferes with national control of the industrial and social problems that confront us. The Democrats offer one thing to South Carolina and another in Kansas. There is no unity, no uni form policy.

Suffragettes Destroy Carnegie's Gift to Xorthfleld, Eng. Birmingham, England, Feb. 12. The Carnegie library at Northfleld, Worcestershire, six miles south of Birmingham, was destroyed today by fire, set by an arson squad of suffra gettes. All the books were burned and only the shell of the building was left standing. Papers were found strewn around the place bearing the words, "To start your new library, give women the vote."

The Centaur Company, QUIT MEAT IF YOUR BACK HURTS, FLUSH YOUR KIDNEYS WITH SALTS Meat Forms Uric Add, Which Clogs Kidneys, Irritates Bladder or Causes Rheumatism. V."hen you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowles; remov ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weath er i bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts r. a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and make a delightful, ef fervescent lithla-water drink. Adv. TALK WITH GERMANY. Direct 'Wireless Communication Ex changed for First Time. STEVEDORES TO STRIKE They Demand an Advance in W of $10 a Month. New York, Feb. 12. A strike of 28,000 longshoremen to begin Monday was ordered last night by the Greater New York council of the Internation al Longshoremen's union after a meeting between officers of that or ganization and representatives of the state board of arbitration in Hoboken. The trouble arises over the refusal of the Berwind-White Coal company, which supplies practically all of the trans-Atlantic steamship companies, to pay the longshoremen more than $60 a month. The longshoremen as sert that they have agreements with 178 other companies to pay 160 a month. The coal company, which employs about 5,000 longshoremen re fused to treat personally with union officers. The union is hopeful that the company will give in before Monday. DENIES RESURRECTION Princeton Professor Disputes the En tire Biblical Account. Chicago, Feb. 12. Biblical ac counts of the birth and resurrection of Jesus are held to be unconvincing by Professor Lucius Hopkins Miller of the divinity faculty of Princeton uni versity, in an article on "The Life of Jesus in the Light of Modern Criti cisms," in the current issue of the Biblical World, published at the Uni versity of Chicago. The story of the resurrection arose from phenomena which are capable of explanation by the laws of physical research and psy chology, says the article. "Jesus's death has been theologized out of all true perspective." continues the paper. "The signs and portents, the empty grave, the definite period of three days, the physical appear ances, the forty-day period and the ascension all these may be best put to one side." New York, Feb. 12. Wireless pres. messages between Germany and the United States were exchanged for the first time early today by means of the Sayvllle, L. I., station of the Atlantic Communication company. On the in vitation of the company practically all of the New York newspapers and the Associated Press sent messages of greeting to the Berlin newspapers, the Wolff bureau, Germany's leading new. association, the emperor. James W. Gerard, the American ambassador and lo the mayor of Berlin. Several re plies were received, among them one from Mr. Gerard, which read: "The more Germany and America know each other the greater will be their friendship. The great achieve ment in wireless communication will immediately help to promote knowl edge and friendship." Another reply was from Mayor Wer- muth of Berlin. It contained greeting for Mayor Mitchel of New York. An swers were also received by some of the Berlin newspapers. The Sayvllle station, which sent the messages. Is about 4,000 miles from the Nouen station, 26 miles from Berlin, which picked up and sent the renliea. The conditions for wireless transmis sion were perfect, early today, accord ing to the experts who handled the messages, so that little difficulty was experienced in reading the replies from jNouen. FUSION IS REJECTED. Nebraska Bull Moose Decide to Herd by Themselves. Every Home Needs This Great Remedy No Home Can Afford to Be Without a Mild, Reliable Laxative-tonic. No well-regulated home should be without a laxative, for there is scarcely a day in a family of several persons that someone doesn't complain of a headache, of sleeplessness, or show the first signs of a cold. A laxative then becomes a necessity or what was a trifling congestion at the beginning may run into a serious cold or fever. No harsh remedy is needed, but simply a mild laxative-tonic that will make the liver active and stir up the bowels. People who have tried a great many things, and are themselves heads of families, who have seen the little ills run into big ones, will tell you that there is nothing better than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which you can obtain at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, the latter being the family size.
