RESIGNATIONS ARE EXPUINED Correspondence Between War Office and Commander. Officers Wishing to Qnit Were to Be Dismissed. London, March 25. The resignation of Colonel John Seely secretary for war, followed quickly after the publi cation today of the White Paper giv ing details of the crisis in the British army whose officers refused to partici pate in active operations against the Inhabitants of Ulster, who had pre pared to offer armed resistance to the Introduction of home rule. Colonel Seely, in his valedictory ad dress to the house of commons, denied that King George had taken any ini tiative of any kind in the army crisis. He said: "The suggestion is absolutely without foundation, in the broadest sense. His majesty took no initiative of any kind." Premier Asquith refused to accept Colonel Seely's resignation. He Makes a Statement. Colonel Seely, speaking in the house of commons, asked the indulgence of the house, in view of a statement he would have to make before the close of the sitting. This was generally ac cepted as confirmation of the report of the secretary of war's resignation. The house of commons buzzed with excitement and was crowded to its ut most capacity when Lord Charles Beresford opened the attack on the government by demanding information as to the naval movement in connection with the situation in Ulster. "Was the battle squadron ordered to steam at full speed from Spanish wat ers to the Irish coast, and ordered to embark field guns?'" he asked. Amid ministerial cheers and derisive laughter from the Unionists, Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, admitted the battle squad ron had been ordered to Lamlash "so 3F to be in proximity to the coast of Ireland in case of serious disturbance arising. When it was clear that the military precautionary movements had beer carried out without opposition it was decided that this movement of the fleet could be delayed until the Easter leave period of the crews was over." The statement of the first lord was inr.mediately followed by an outburst of questions. A Unionist member ask ed if Mr. Churchill .expected that "this precautionary movement of troops would lead to fighting." In a moment the first lord flared up. "I repudiate the Hellish sugges tion," he shouted. When the consequent uproar had subsided the speaker reprimanded Mr. Churchill, saying that such an expres sion should not have, been used. The first lord regretfully withdrew it and the storm passed off as quickly as it had arisen. A Written Guarantee. X Documents made public today dis close officially the fact that the British government gave officers in Ireland a written guarantee that they would not use the army to crush Ulster's politi cal opposition to the home rule bill. The correspondence however, points out that the government retains its right to use the army to maintain law and order. The orders issued by the war office in respect to the duties of the army in Ireirnd, chiefly in connec tion with the protection of government stores, arms and ammunition, are given very completely. The .correspondence, however, omits the verbal communica tion made by General Sir Arthur Pa get, to the officers at the Curragh camp, which led to their resignation and which the government argues was the result of a "misunderstanding." That the version of General Paget's communication read by Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition, in the house of commons on, Monday was sub stantially correct, seems clearly indi cated. Mr. Law on that occasion read a letter in which General Paget stated "that active operations were to begin n pair st Ulster and that it was expect-xl the country would be in a blaze by Saturday." The Irish commander-in-chief wrote that he was i- close communication with the war office and had received instructions from headquarters, to no tify his officers, that those of them domiciled in Ulster would be allowed to disappear and be aftemard reinstated. They must, however, give their word of honor not to fight for Ulster. Under published correspondence. Brigadier General Hubert Gough underlines (Continued on Pago Two.) GIVES HIS REASONS. Badders ,'on't Testify for Fear He'll Incriminate Himself. That evidence which he mieht srive in his personal bankruptcy hearing violated the decree dissolving the might in some manner tend to in- trust, by favoring the Metropolitan as criminate him or prejudice his inter- a Jobber. ests and rights in the criminal cap'V Mr. Marshall gave the concern un pending against him both by the go. til Monday to make plans to remedy eminent and the state, was the te. he situation. of an answer filed in the United State. district court this afternoon by George S. Badders. In view of the criminal charges filed against him, Badders nsks the court to deny an application for an order to compel him to testify and further demands a trial of the in voluntary bankruptcy case before a Jury. The involuntary bankruptcy suit against Badders personally was filed March 5, following the verdict of a Jury in the United States district court which held that the Badders clothing company, of which Badders was presi dent, was insolvent and had violated the provisions of the federal bank ruptcy act. The second bankruptcy case will probably be heard by -Judge Pollock when the United States dis trict court convenes in Topeka, April 13. Under the bankruptcy act, Bad ders' application tor a Jury trial must WEDNESDAY EVENING be granted. The question uf Badders' personal rights on the witness stand in view of the pending criminal pro ceedings, will be determined by the court. At present Badders is held to the federal grand jury under $5,000 bond for alleged misuse of the mails in fur therance of a scheme to defraud.' This case will be presented to the grand Jury and an indictment asked at the April term of the federal court. In addition to the criminal case by the government. Badders is charged with embezzlement on seven counts under a warrant and complaint issued by the state. Preliminary hearing in this case Js set for Thursday, April 2. Bond was provided for Badders in both cases, the bond in the govern ment case being signed by John R. Mulvane. president of the Bank of To peka; while the bond in the state case was signed by Joab Mulvane, a director of the bank. A BATTLEOF WITS Santa Fe and Rock Island in an Enginemen Controversy. Other Western Roads Also in Argument Over Wages. Word comes to railway circles in Topeka today that there is a wide gap between the general managers" com mittee of the 52 western railroads and the representatives of the locomotive engineers and firemen over a wage scale that was proposed last fall. The enginemen want their pay based on the weight of the locomotives in the future and the operating heads of the railroads are in favor of paying em ployees for the actual mileage. It is understood in Topeka that a serious complication of ideas and counter propositions appears before the bodies. Other negotiations are scheduled. Unless working agree ments are made soon, railway men in Topeka look for a long drawn out fight with a possible appeal to the federal government. All of the railroads operating west of the Mississippi river are affected by the negotiations. Officials of the Kock Island and Santa Fe in Topeka will make no statements on the proposed working schedule, admitting only that me railways wouia pay oy me mue, while the enginemen would ask pay for the weight of the locomotives. At this time enginemen are paid on a 100-mile basis.' The engineers and firemen on passenger runs are paid by the 100 miles in eight hours. The freight engineers and firemen by the J 00 miles in ten hours. If they ex ceed either the time or the distance, they received additional overtime. The enginemen declare that the railroads are buying more powerful locomotives,, thereby hauling a larger tonnage and" reducing the number of trainmen and enginemen- needed in service. They believe that if they were paid according to the weight of the -enprine the roads would not de velop the power to such an extent. The railroads come back with an argument in which they insist that a man should be paid for the number of miles he covers in a certain length of time with additional trimmings covering wrecks and delays. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En ameers and the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen presented a joint new working agreement to the heads of the 52 western roads early in October. Ihe two committees met early this month to thresh it out. They are still threshing. THE DAY IN CONGRESS Bill to Restore Potts to Active List Dies in Committee. Washington, March 25. Senate naval affairs committee decided not to report the bill to restore Captain Templin M. Potts to the active list of the navy. AmbassaSor Page's much discussed London speech with its reference to the Panama canal and the Monroe doctrine was received from Secretary Bryan without comment. House debate was resumed on the river and harbors bill. The legislative ways were cleared for actual launching of the Panama toils exemption repeal fight, which is expected tomorrow. A senate bill for a postal rate of half a cent a pound on seeds, bulbs and cuttings was favorably reported. MUST MEND ITS WAYS Metropolitan Tobacco Company Declared to Be a Monopoly. Is New York, March 25. The Metro politan Tobacco company is a Job bing monopoly, in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and must mend its ways at once, according to announcement made this afternoon by U. S. District Attorney Marshall. Mr. Marshall made this statement after a conference with counsel for the Metropolitan and counsel for the four big tobacco companies, which were formerly factors in the tobacco trust. The conference had been called to consider charges made bv indenendent Seniors that the four bio. HOT RODDER III BACK Krcxlonla Constable Found Pair and Arrested Them. Fredonia. Kan., March 25.

JUAREZ IS WITHOUT NEWS s Silence Regarded as Ominous by the Constitutionalists. Fighting Still Was in Progress at Last Reports. El Paso, March 25. Miguel Dlo bold, of the .Mexican federal consular service, said today that he had been officially informed that the rebels were repulsed with heavy loss at Tor reon and that some of them were driven back 2.0 miles. "It is very significant that Juarez is without news and I regard it as con firmation of my dispatch," said Senor Diebold. Washington, March 25. The Mexi can embassy has received the follow ing cablegram from the City of Mex ico, dated last night: "The rebels were repulsed today in an attempt to reach Torreon. General Velassco well prepared for attack." Rebels Without Information. Juarez, March 25. What the exact situation in the Torreon district might De today was only a matter of specu lation. The few rumors that sifted into Juarez, during the night and early this morning, were variously In terpreted, according to Individual per sonal views. Officers at rebel headquarters were unable to gain anything like a definite idea of what had transpired at the front since the last official report yes terday. General Chao still awaited confirma tion of the report that reached here during the night that General Villa's army had captured two cuartels in Tor reon. No definite news had come over the wires since the receipt of the As sociated Press dispatch from Chihuahua at 5 p. m. yesterday that fighting still was in progress at Gomez Palacio, the important railway suburb of Torreon. Officials here were silent, and the fact that no press dispatches came through was regarded as significant in view of the statement at Mexico City that the rebels had been repulsed in an attack at Torreon. The last newspaper telegrams last night stated that the rebels had pos session of the railway round house, which is on the outskirts of Gomez Palacio. A personal telegram from General Benavide to his father here said: "All is well, with us." Battle Still In Progress. Juarez. March 25. Fighting was -in progress this morning m the outskirts of Torreon. This was the text of a message from the south given out officially here to day. There were no. details, and offi cial prophecy was readjusted to the ef fect that it might be some days before the federal stronghold is taken. Americans Killed One Mexican. Eagle Pass, March 25. General Guac..: rdo, commanding the Mexican federal garrison at Piedras Negras, op posite Eagle PasB, today said one fed eral soldier was killed by shots fired by American troops during the fight at McKeesquee Crossing, near Del Rio, Monday.

A shower which fell between eight and nine o'clock Tuesday night cleared the atmosphere of dust and the weath er toaay. nas been Ideal. The sky has been clear and the temperature five degrees above normal for this date. The shower netted .10 of an inch Of moisture. It put a brighter tint of green on the fields of wheat in the vi cinity of Topeka. But the fine weather is destined to be of short duration to Judge from the forecast which reads: "Unsettled to night and Thursday; probably rain turning to snow and colder." The shippers' forecast indicates that the mercury will be flirting with the freezing mark by Thursday. The wind is from the east and there Is very little of it. The velocity at 1 o'clock this afternoon was but three miles an hour, as against 25 miles at the same hour Tuesday, and 49 miles at 11:50 o'clock Tuesday. The highest temperature recorded cn this date in the last 27 years- was St degrees in 1907; the minimum was 13 in 1894. 7 o'clock 4111 o'clock ..54 f o'clock 44 13 o'clock .....57 9 o'clock 46 1 o'clock 59 10 o'clock ..49 '2 o'clock .....63 v 3 o'clock 66 DISCONTINUE 2 THAI21S Hock Island Eliminates Night Service to and From St. Joe.

WEDNESDAY EVENING GIVEN K FULL Copy of the London Speech of Ambassador Page Is" Submitted to the Senate by Secretary Bryan. WAS JCLLYE3 THE DTISH Expressly Stated Remarks Were on His Own Account And Not as a Representative of the American People. Washington, March 25. Ambassador Walter H. Page's celebrated London speech, in which he was accredited with having interpreted the Monroe doctrine as meaning the United States preferred that no European' government should gain more land in the new world, and as having made certain references to the repeal of the Panama tolls exemp tion, was forwarded to the senate to day, by Secretary Bryan, in response to Senator Chamberlain's resolution. calling for an explanation. Mr. Page's speech, some 2,500 words in length, was furnished to the senate In full. The portion relating to the Panama canal was as follows: "I will not say that we constructed the Panama canal even for you, for I am speaking with great frankness and not with diplomatic- indirection. We built it for reasons of our own. But I will say that it adds to the pleasure of building that great work, that you will profit by it. Tou will profit most by it for you have the greatest carrying trade. I can say a similar thing about the recent lowering of our tariff. We did not lower it in order to please you. It was for purposes that we considered economically sound for ourselves. "Nevertheless, it added to the pleas ure of doing that, to reflect that there by we should have more trade with you. Concerning the recent message of the president, I take it upon myself, on my own responsibility, to say this. He delivered that message not to please you but to express the true sentiment and self respect of the American na tion. As I Interpret it, his was the view of the people. Nevertheless it adds to .the pleasure of hearing; that voice to know that it does please you." The Monroe Doctrine. The portion referring to the Monroe doctrine follows: "May I put in another parenthesis, also on my own account, and correct an impression that a part of your press seems to have about the atti tude of the United States government. emteerning the investment of your rolcssal earnings, in stale of Central colossal earnings,, in states of Central cies. I sometimes read that the United States is entering upon a policy to discourage foreign investments there. That is untrue. I think that some events are happening there, that have discouraged them somewhat but I hope that they can not be charged Jto i ne uniteu suites. 'There is a policy forming in the minds of our government and our Deo pie which is not new, that would dis ccurage such investments or such con cessions as would carry with them the control of the government of any of those states, and only such, for so far as the United States is concerned, you know how heartily we have welcomed your investments in our land and still welcome them and always will. Tou may be assured that it is none of the business of the United States to put any let or hindrance upon any legiti mate investments of yours, anywhere in the world, and they most heartily welcome your investments in any part o the Americas, provided only you do GOES TO PARAGUAY TO REPRESENT U.

The Monroe doctrine meant this when it was first formulated: "That the United States would ob ject to any Kuropean government's taking more land in the new world. Ic those days the only way a foreign government could gain land was liter ally to go and take it. Now we have more refined methods of exploitation and there are other ways to take it, "That is the only protest that the United States has ever whispered. Tou will, I am sure, understand why the United States prefers that no land in the new' world should be acquired in these new, subtle ways would you do us tne Kindness clearly to understand that, and possibly to correct the mis Impression that has gone abroad?" Secretary Bryan transmitted the copy of Ambassador Page's speech without comment. It was read in full to the senate and referred to the for eign relations committee without de bate. TOLLS FIGIIT C03S UP Senator Jones Reads Letters Criticis ing the President's Policy. 1 Washington, March 25. The Pan ama tolls fight cropped out in the senate today, when Senator Jones, one of. those opposing repeal of the exemp tion, had read a letter from William B. Larkin of No. 20 Highland street, Boston, assailing President Wilson's contention and saying: "The presi dent should be recalled to the classic shades of Princeton instead of being permitted to continue to bulldoze ac credited represetnativeB of the Ameri can people in congress." Senator Hoke Smith, Senator Lewis arc1 other Democratic leaders failed by various parliamentary tactics to prevent the reading of the letter. Senator Thomas, Democrat, inter rupted the reading of similar letters to ask Senator Jones's opinion of the president's motives in urging repeal. "I believe the president to be acting honestly, and in accordance with his best judgment," said Senator Jones. "I am simply reading these letters to show the feeling and indignation among the ordinary people of the country." Senator Thomas protested against the reading of letters impugning the motives of tne president. He declared senators should make such charges directly.. Senator Thomas criticised Senator Jones as detracting from the dignity of the senate by -reading letters that almost charged the president with trea son. Senator Jones responded he was not criticising the president but be lieved his correspondents had grasp ed the idea that the people and con gress were entitled to know why con gress should, repeal free tolls. 'Should foreign relations justify the course, I am sure congress will sup port the president. Irrespective of party, but it is entitled to know the reasons on which it acts," replied Sen ator Jones. The letter incident ended with Sen ator Chamberlain's taking up his res olution to repeal the tolls inland water way, levied in the river and har bor bill of 1884, which forbids the levy ing of tolls on inland waterways. He repeated his charge that the "in sidious influences" behind the Panama repeal were the Canadian Pacific and other transcontinental railways but hastened to add that he did not mean to intimate the president was actuated by those influences. He referred to the president as a thoroughly patriotic gen tleman, "who believes in whatever he does and that he is doing it for the best interest of the country." WATCHFUL WAITING. President's Mexican Policy Is Again Attacked by Congressman Ainey. Washington, March 25. Representative Ainey, Republican of Pennsylvania, brought up his resolution calling on Pres ident Wilson to Inform congress of the condition ot foreigners in Mexico n the house today and delivered an attack on the policy of wa3.-i?'l waiting. He pic tured Villa as a "vulgar, ignorant brutal specimen of humanity," throuxn whom the Standard Oil company was advancing its interests. "If war comes with Mexico; if Huerta spurned by the United States turn to Japan, and the dries Is MadikuC bay, if the citizens of Germany are murdered In Mexico, and we are thereby, involved, the responsibility frr tb-i dire result rests upon a weak and obstinate policy, which has refused the pathway of safe and patriotic precedent. said Mr. Ainey n conclusion.

The Jfeasare Will Sorely Be Introdoced to the Session. Boiler Count)' Women, Organ ise Political Clabs. Plans for a further shakeup In the Judicial districts of tha state are be ing considered by a number of well known Kansas lawyers and district Judges and It is probable that a bill for the division of the state Into Ave sep arata and distinct district will be pre sented to the 1915 legislature. The pro posed measure, which has the support of several well known Kansas Judges, would provide for the alternate hold ing of courts In the various counties by the trial judges of the district. The bill for districting the state ror Judicial purposes was killed in the sen ate during the 1913 session, although the. measure passed the house.- Now a new bill is proposed which would elimi nate the objectionable feature of tha present law providing for only one Judge In a Judicial district generally. Shortly after the 1913 session adjourned, a well known lawyer suggested that the state return to the original word ing of the constitution which has not been changed and have but Ave Ju dicial districts In the state. Recently the plan has been taken up by lawyers in other parts of the state and is gain ing added support. Under this plan, the state would be divided into five dis tricts of almost; equal territory. Each district would contain about It, 000 square miles. Then it is proposed to increase or decrease the number of judges automatically in the future. Some Provisions of the Bill. The basis proposed for electing judges is that one Judge be elected for each 40,000 people in the district which is about the average now, but to guard against having more Judges than business, it is further provided that there must, in the calendar year preceding the nomination and election of Judges, have been about 700 cases filed for trial for each Judge in the district in aggregate of the several courts of all counties of the district. Population and business in litigation do not always move evenly, hence the basis of both inhabitants and litiga tion. It is argued that this plan would effectually avoid all scheming to create new districts and to make' Jobs for a governor to fill, and would also avoid having to choose between overburdening a judge or erecting a new district or second Judgeship with in a district when litigation hardly justifies the second district or judge. One tentative outline of the new plan is to place in the First Judicial district, all the counties, about 24, north of the Kansas river up to Abi lene and northwest along the Missouri Pacific and Rock Island to take in tha counties of .Ottawa, Mitchell, Osborn. Rooks and Phillips. All counties west of these to the state line, and south ward to include Saline, Lincoln and all Union Pacific counties, would com- nniA thn Fifth 1ndirlnl district with 17 counties.

A city-wide demonstration, extending from Brook lyn to the Bronx, was held today on the third anniversary of the great Triangle Waist factory fire in which 14? lives were lost. The ringing of gongs in hundreds of factories uruugni lurin uruenjr ni.icu.iiia ul em ployees until the streets In some dis tricts took on a holiday appearance. This colossal fire drill, which in cluded mos, of the factories and a great many of the schools In the city, was planned by Fire Commissioner Robert A damson, working in con junction with several safety organ izations. In a truer sense it was not a commemoration of the Triangle fire but a celebration of the progress in fire prevention since that time. Commissioner Adamson, who invited Mayor Mitchel to review some of the larger fire drills with him, visited a large tobacco factory in Brooklyn, employing 3,500 workers. The drill ran off with" machine like perfection, two and one-half minutes sufficing to bring out the total number of em ployees, with the safes locked and the roll called. "I hope," said Commissioner Ad amson, "that none will take this as a token that New Tork thinks she has solved the problem of fire prevention.. We have only, been seriously at It for a little over a year and there are in numerable obstacles that remain to bo overcome. By a system of inspection. In which we have been assisted by the safety organizations, we are rapidly acquainting ourselves with present de ficiencies and evasions of law. Some of the conditions that made the Triangle fire possible have been remedied, but. not all." 1 Denver Left Fielder Accepts Federal League Offer.

(Continued from Page One.) phrases such as "active operations' when asking for further Information and it appears evident that he was quoting the remarks of General Paget. Correspondence Made Public. London, March 25. The mutiny of a section of the officers of the British regular army in Ireland when they believed they were to be ordered to fight the Ulster men was again before parliament today- The correspond ence betweeen the war office and the army offices in Ireland which led to the recent wholesale resignations and reinstatements was made public in the shape of a "white paper" or offi cial communication to the houses of parliament. It can be seen from this correspond ence that the war office was informed early in December of the possibility if resignations of officers in case the Ulster situation came to a crisis. The consequenece of this Information Col. John Seely, the secretary of state for war, interviewed the general of ficers in: command and explained to them that' an officer of the British army was compelled to obey orders to choot ''only In case the order was a reasonable one under the circum stances." The secretary of war told them that t-o one, from a general down to a pri vate, was expected to use more force than was required to maintain order arc the safety of life and property. He continued: "If therefore, officers and men of the British army have been led to be lieve that there is a possibility that they might be called upon to take out rageous action for instance to mas sacre Orangemen, who are causing no danger to the lives of their neighbors bad as would be the effects on dis cipline in the army nevertheless it Is true that they are in fact and in law Justified in a refusal to obey. "There never has been and is not now any intention, however, of giving outrageous and illegal orders to;ithe troops. Law Must Be Obeyed. "The law will be respected and must be obeyed. What must now be faced Is the possibility of action -being re quired by troops in supporting the civil power in protecting lives and property when the police are unable to hold their own. "Attempts have been made to dis suade the troops from, obeying law ful orders given to them when, acting in support of the civil power. These attempts have amounted, to' the claim that officers and men of the army could pick and choose between lawful and reasonable orders saying they would obey in one case and not in an other." Declaring that there had not been a single case of lack of discipline in this respect in the British army, Col. Seely says: "At the same time as views and statements uttered in the press and elsewhere made my position clear-, -I informed the general officers that I would hold each of them individually responsible to see there was no con duct in their commands subversive to discipline. I told them they could let.it be clearly understood that any such conduct would be dealt with un der the king's regulations. "If any army officer should tender his resignation I told the generals that they should ask for his reasons and If he Indicated that he desired to choose which order he would obey, I would 1 submit to the king that the officer should be removed from the army." This document was followed by a letter dated March 14 from the war office to General Sir Arthur Paget, commander-in-chief in Ireland, in which Sir Arthur was informed: Letter to Paget. -"In consequence of reports received by the governments that attempts are being made In various parts or Ireland bv evilly disposed persons to obtain possession of arms and ammunition and other government stores. It is con sidered advisable that you should at once take special precautions for safe guarding the depots and other places where arms and stores are kept as you may think advisable. "It appears that Armagh, omagn, Carrickfergus and Ennnsklll are insuf ficiently guarded, being specially lia ble to attack." Orders also were given to the of ficers in command of barracks where arms and ammunition were stored that they would be held responsible I for the safety of that, property ana i that such places never should b I unguarded. It is pointed out that this order referred to the whole of 'Ireland. General Paget telegraphed to the war office March 20 that all the officers of the Fifth Royal Irish Lancers, sta tioned in Dublin, had resigned with the exception of two. He said he feared that the same conditions pre vailed among the officers of the Six teenth Queen's Lancers stationed at the Curragh and that the men would refuse to move. That same evening General Paget telegraphed to the war office that the brigadier general and 57 officers of the Third cavalry brig ade at the Curragh "prefer to accept dismissal if they are .ordered to the north." The war office replied to General Paget: idj "You- are authorised to suspen from duty any senior officers who have tendered their resignations or in 1 any other manner have disputed your authority. The resignations of. all of- ticers should be refused." j Their Places Filled. I The war office also4 said that other officers were being sent to relieve Brig adier General Hubert-- Gauch. com mander of the Third' cavalry brigade and the commanding officers of the Fifth and the Sixteenth Lancers.

After an Interview with Colonel Seely, Brigadier General Hubert Gough wrote to the war office: i "One of the first questions asked by our officers will be: in the event of the present home rule bill becoming law, can we be called upon to enforce it on Ulster, un der their expression of maintaining law and orderr This point should be made quite clear. Otherwise there will be renewed misconception." In reply to this. Brigadier General Gough was given a letter initialed by Colonel Seely, as secretary for war, and by Field Marshal Sir John French, in which he was authorized to inform the officers as follows: "The army council Is satisfied that the Incident which has arisen in re gard to their resignations was due to a misunderstanding." The letter con tinues that it is the duty of soldiers to obey 'commands for the protection of life and property and in support of the civil power, In the event of dis turbances, and the army council is glad there never has been and never would be any question of disobeying such orders.

Goldstein assailed the plans of the Socialists and said that if their movement succeeds, it will be the end of any kind of freedom among the American people. The lecturer quoted freely from So cialist books and- pamphlets, and found an answer to every statement contained in them. He. said that no true Catholic is- a Socialist and that the Knights of Columbus, opposed to supporting any -political party by the whole body, has united in its stand against Socialism. Mr. Goldstein is a good speaker and held the attention of his hearers last night. His voice is clear and distinct as he fluently attacked the Socialists. He will speak tonight In Cherryvale and Thursday in Pittsburg. J. Ralph- Roberts of Labette, the Kansas Socialist leader, will answer Goldstein tonight in a speech at the auditorium. He was present at the lecture last evening and says he will answer each and every one of the Bos- tonians charges. Roberts is follow ing Goldstein through the country and will -speak at- Cherryvale Thursday nigbt and Pittsburg Friday. Tonight's meeting promises to be interesting. FOUTICAL GOSSIP. (Continued from Page One.) In the southeast, to include Wabaun see. Morris, Lyon, Greenwood; Elk and Cowley, about 25 counties, would make the Second Judicial district. The southwestern 22 counties including Barton, Rush, Pawnee and Edwards and all west and southwest except Clark would make the Fourth judicial district. The Third judicial district would include the south center of the state with counties adjacent to Hutch inson and Wichita and southward,- 17 counties. This would place about ten of the present judges in each new dis trict except the Fourth and Fifth which would each have about four Judges. The several judges within a district would take turns in holding court in the several' counties. Three Judges could sit to hear motions for new trial cr difficult legal questions and thus avoid taking many matters to the su preme court. Where a Judge is dir qualified another Judge would sit without the trouble now found in such cases. Questions of fact could be tried to two or three Judges without a jury and more cheaply where litigants hes itate to try the facts to one judge alone. A bill embodying these features is now being drafted and win be prevent ed it the next Session of the legislature. Akers to Have Opposition. -It is probable that D. E. Harmon r-f Wichita may become a candidate for the -Republican nomination as state treasurer in the August primaries. Har mon was formerly canal commissioner in Kansas City, Kan., and. is well known in the state. He is an old line Republican, a veteran of the Civil war and active in political affairs in Sedg wick county. Harmon has not as yet announced his candidacy. To friend; however, he has stated that he may en ter the race. Butler County Women Organise.-v' Three Republican clubs have, been organized among the women voters in Butler county and it is probable that the plan will be adopted by other counties in the state. Butler county Republicans propose to organise clubs emong the women in all of the towns of the county and now have -working organizations in ElDorado, Douglass and Latham. Will Be So Harmony There. Harper county Progressives, at a meeting of their county committee in Anthony, voted to go alone rather than with the reorganised, harmon ized Republicans. Not only did the Harper county Progressives endorse the candidacies of Murdock and Allen, but they voted to put a full county city in the field. Practically every township, ward and voting precinct in the county has membership on the county committee. Frank Coulson of Harper is chairman of the committee and H. C. Dryden of Anthony is secre tary. Expects Large Attendance. Practically every countv in the state will be represented at the meeting of. the Republican state committee in To peka next Tuesday, according to let ters received by J C. Gafford, acting secretary of the state organisation. A number of letters from county chair men have been received by Gafford this week and most of the members have indicated that they will come to Topeka for the meeting. The chief order of business Is the election of a new state chairman to succeed J. N. Dclley, who- resigned a year ago to join the Progressive party, and return ed to the Republican party before his successor was chosen. -The meeting of the committee will be held at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the parlors of the National hotel.

KAUS LOST ABAIiJ

Texans Play in Mldseasoa Form Score, 4 to 1.. Brown and Glaze Pitched for Topeka Club. SHOW KEEP OF TRJUZIS Dale Gear Advises Players to Take No Chances. Play at Waco Today and at Austin Saturday. Dallas. March 25. The Dallas team Of the Texas league defeated the To peka club of the Western League here Tuesday by the score of 4 to 1. The Dallas club played In mid-season form but the Topeka club players played careful and would not play the fast gait which might result in injury. On account of this the result was never In doubt. The Dallas fans gave For sythe a nice reception. Pitchers Paul Brown and Ralph Glaze pitched for the Topeka club while Erickson went the full route for the Dallas club. Glaze pitched well, but Brown was batted hard. The Dal las batters solved Brown's delivery and batted out enough runs to win the game although they got two runs off Glaze in the fourth inning. Glaze started the game and pitched well, but acting upon the advice of Manager Gear, he did not exert himself. The Dallas club got two runs off his de livery in the fourth inning when Mc carty singled, Cochran made a wild peg to first, after fielding McCook's drive toward third base. Both run ners took two bases on the play. Tul los hit safe to center and one run scored. Tultos stole second and scored on a drive by Gross. With one out in the sixth, Storch hit a home run to left field. In the seventh. Jordan hit a fast drive to Dowd who knocked it down and made a wild heave to first which allowed the runner to go to sec ond. McCarty singled and Jordan scored. Kawa Score In Second. The Kaws scored their only run in the second inning when Riggs drew a pass, was forced at second by McGee, Gear beat out an Infield hit and Mc Gee was safe. McGee scored on Mc Allister's single. Erickson, pitching for Dallas held the Topeka club to five hits and' was master of the situation at all times. The Topeka club is not in condition to play first class ball, while the Dal las club is ready to start the season. The Kansas team experienced bad weather in the Denison training camp and the players show need of work. On account of this Manager Gear has cautioned them to play safe and not do anything that may cause injuries or sore limbs. The Dallas club has been playing with major league clubs for two weeks and the players are in excellent con dition. Dowd. at second, looks mighty good. He la very fast, la a good fieUi er and shows speed on the bases. His performances will be a sensation If he can maintain the speed shown here. Topeka Players Look Good. Catcher Rapps la showing up well but his throwing to the bases i off color. Manager Gear will have a good pair of backstops in this man and Sport McAllister. Pitchers Brown and Glaze used nothing but straight balls, and as the Dallas club, has been batting the same kind of a delivery by New York pitch ers, the Western Leaguers were easy money. However. Glaze looks to be as good as ever and his fielding was one of the features of the game. The entire Topeka club looks better than any club irom me kuuu w wiukm has ever visited Dallas. The team is improving and will strike its stride in the near future. The score: TOPEKA. Players AB. K. H. P. A.

Four players in cluding Cad Coles, outfielder, will be added to the roster of the Brooklyn Federal League club as part of the deal by which Tom Beaton, the former Philadelphia National League pitcher, is transferred to the payroll of the Chi cago Federals. This news was con tained In dispatchers today from Shreveport, the training camp of Man ager Tinker's team. One of the four whom the Chicago team will give is a young pitcher, ac cording to Tinker. Coles was practically assured of right field berth on the Chicago team. In his place Tinker purposes to put Ed Z willing. MiM? It 1 A "Postum for Mine" Many a man and woman with coffee troubles has found that Postum is a sure and pleasant way back to health. A doctor writes: "I have been using Postum for the last seven or eight years, and think It has had a Rood deal to do with my looking younger than 55 years of age. "I recommend It to aU my patients, and those who have been using It have only praises for its taste and its good effects on their nervous systems; like me, -they have given up tea and coffee altogether." Postum is a pure food-drink made of wheat and a small proportion of molasses roasted and skilfully blended. 'It is absolutely free from the coffee drugs, caffeine and tan nin common causes of heart, stomach, liver, kidney and nerve disturbance. Some people marvel at the benefits from leaving off coffee and using Postum, but there is nothing marvelous about it only common sense. Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum must be boiled. 15c and 25c pkgs. Instant Postum soluble powder, requires no boiling. A spoonful stirred in a cup of hot water makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" v for POS TUM Grfo Lea Zra VJi&i a Cc I If during the winter you had the grip and are still suffering from the after effects, now is the time to get rid of it. Peruna is your remedy. Y A Very Bad Cough. Mrs. 8. J. Kountr, 1015 Scovel St.. Nashville. Tenn., writes: "I have -had a very bad cough nearly all my life. I have taken almost every kind of cough medicine, but none did me much good. I would have spells of cough ing that I thought I would cough my self to death. I took Peruna, and last winter and this winter I have had no cough and I know that Peruna cured me. "I was always thin and delicate, very easy to catch cold, but I am well now and enjoying good health. I feel that I owe it all to Peruna." .A Severe Case of Grip. Mr- W. S. Brown. R. F. D. 4-.

The Pittsburg Pirates, with Fred Clarke at the helm and Hans Wagner at short stop, will come next to increase the gate receipts. This department does not nose as a reformer but it appears that the word twlrier," In referring to a Ditcher is all bally rot. The word is used by a majority of baseball writers but it ap pears that any word would sound much better than "twirler." A pitcher doesn't "twirl" a ball. He throws it. heaves it. hurls it. But he doesn't "twirl" it. He can't and get it to the batter. It appears that President Tener and the magnates of the National League have had too much Murphy and will not accept Charles Thomas as successor to the retiring mogul of the Chicago ciud. At least, u. r. Tart made an un popular move when he selected Thomas to fill this position and this will be shown by the gate rec-ipts later in the season. There is no' question but that Murphy was unpopular among the fans aa well as among the other club owners and this is shown in the annual re ceipts when the White Sox collected much more money than did .the Nation al League club, Hot Springs, Ark.. March 25. 3ady, the Boston American League catcher, Tuesday night announced he had re fused a Federal league, offer of $12, 500 a year and a bonus of $5,000 to sign with the Pittsburgh club of the new league. Cady already has signed a Boston contract. No announcement was made as to whether the temporary Injunction ob tained Monday by the Pittsburgh Na tional League club management against 8. H. Camnitz and another Federal league agent described as "John Doe," will be contested. The order Issued in chancery court restrained Camnitz and "John Doe" from communicating with any mem ber of the Pittsburgh club. JAKE'S JUiX All persons Interested in the City Amateur Baseball League are request ed to attend a meeting in the rooms of the Commercial club Friday evening. It is necessary that aU managers and owners attend this meeting. Jack Holland began wielding the ax Monday by casting four recruits adrift and left a list of others to be released before leaving for Hot Springs, Ark., where he will confer with Barney Drey fuss of the Pltsburg Nationals for the purchase of some promising youngsters. The sale of Outfielders Joe Kelly and rtoorare Watson was made with the agreement that Holland would accept part payment in piayera ana jib hub gone to claim them. Nmr that the officers of the Federal League and officers of the major imium and American Association have begun court proceedings to prevent "Jumping"- players from playing with any but the original club, it Is probable that a large number of good men will be compelled to return to the original club or stay out of the game pending a decision in the courts. A decision in one case, if the legality of the contracts I. considered, will probably stop all ar gument but the courts will; probably not reach these cases for some 'time. and during the interim the various cinha will be minus the players. Among those who will be enjoined if the majors are successful in preventing their men from playing with the Feds, are Joe Tinker. Otto Knabe, Ad Bren- Blg BUI McCormicV of the Lincoln club is a real holdout and now Hugh Jones expects to dump him to the St. Paul club of the American Association. The deal hinges upon the success of the St. Paul management in persuading mm to sn a contract. Sherman of the Lincoln News rises to remark that he thinks the forecast of the St Joe Gazette is premature and made without good judgment. Sher man can't see the Sioux City club and neither' can this department. The Omaha club looks to be the strongest just now but we have nothing to base our judgment upon excepting' "paper." The following is the comment of Mr. Sherman: "So far as the Sioux City club is concerned, we can discern noth ing in its lineup that makes it a stronger contender for the bunting than at least three or four other West ern League teams. As a matter of fact, the cards have been pretty well shuffled this winter, every club in the league will present new faces, and there is no safe way, as we view it, to dope a winner. The opening gun is to be fired April 17, scarcely less than a month distant. After the race is two months gone, it may he safe to pick a winner, but until then the guesses are dope, which is supposed to be read but not to be taken as the basis for any beta However, we'll take the field against Sioux City, and risk a new 'lid' on the outcome." The Sioux City club may have some trouble in securing a first baseman. George Burns who was with the club last year was drafted by the Detroit club and has made an excellent show ing on the training trip. The Sioux City Journal says: "It begins to look as though Sioux City would not get First Baseman George Burns this sea son. President Hanlon received a let ter from President Navin of the Detroit club, in which attention was called to the fact that Class AA clubs would have first chance at Burns provided the Detroit club did not keep him. Burns Is showing up well at. the Tigers camp and there is a possibility that he may be retained by Detroit. Navin wrote that Burns was the most talked of player of the Detroit recruits. He is hitting at a terrific clip and his field ing shows a big improvement. In view of this it is not likely that the Ameri can Association will allow him to come back to the Western League." Clauss, southpaw with the Lincoln club, has finally signed his 'contract. Clauss was one of the really good southpaws of the Western League last year and may be a thorn in the flesh of the batters during the coming sea son. What is your guess on the opening day attendance? Have you filed the figures with the State Journal Base ball Rdltor? Tou may win a season pass if you do. This department has given some thought to the pitching staff that will start the season with the Denver club. Of course we understand that Jimmy McGill is not entitled to any sympathy as he has been, playing whole hog or none for three years, but where does he expect. to -get the pitchers?' We know he has the money and a, disposi tion to spend it and that will probably explain the situation.

But these men tire Arm In their belief that if the DMDUsed home rule' measure is enacted into law they will soon become the victims or religious and political persecution at the hands of the same forces that were defeated when the army of the exiled James II" was so signally -repulsed l,r ih. Midlers nf William III. This belief is so strong that they are willing to fight for -It. They -also protest against the bill because the Asquith ministry has refused to permit it to go to a vote of the people, not oniy 01 Ulster, but of the entire, nation. And they insist' that the home rule meas ure Is being rushed to final enactment, not because of its merits or because a majority of the -people 6f Ireland or Great Britain are In favor of It, but be cause it is no more than the consum mation of a purely political pact be tween the Liberal party and the Irish Nationalist party, j A few years ago, when the Asquith ministry began Its ascendancy, the Liberal party that it represents, lacked the votes In parliament, or rather in the house of commons, to put through its platform of political reforms that culminated in 1910 In the fa-so-called People's Budget, of Lloyd George's design. So a coa lition was effected between tne Liberal party ..and the. Nationalist party, led by John Redmond. Un der its terms the Irish Nationalists agreed to support the Lloyd George budget and the Asquith ministry In all particulars, in return for a home rule measure to their liking. It Is even as serted thai' the Asquith ministry "went so far as to make an agreement In writing with. Redmond to this effect. Tlu Tfatinnallat nartv haa keDt Ha Dart of the agreement faithfully. It has sup ported the Asquith ministry to tne last ditch. And the latter must now deliver its end of the bargain. -It made; a be ginning by passing the home rule bill, drafted by Redmond and his friends, three years ago and it the time that the People's Budget was enacted. But the house of lords went on record against the home rule measure. Un der the British legislative procedure a measure that Is Opposed by the house of lords must pass three successive ses sions of the house of commons before it can become a law. The home rule hill waa-naaaed-all right' a second time. And )t is on Its present andthh-d ndj final passage Hiat the fate -of the As-1 qulth ministry, and it would now seem the peace and contentment of Great Britain, hinges. a f 3 John -Redmond -and the -Nationalist party not only drove a fast bargain, t but they also drove a hard one. For; the home rule bill of today that is causing all the trouble, is far different in terms' from the home rule measures of other days that all fell by the way side. It provides virtual independence, for Ireland. And this is another feat ure Of It that Is Tepugnant to the m- sterltes and other loyalists in Ireland and the Unionist party generally throughout Great Britain. They dis like the .idea of any part of the British -MM.t tiAtnv .ni'droil Atmrnit nn' mm- 1 ,.1 V.B.Q pietely from rule and regulation by the mother country. -It Jars their patriot ism, their love of the glory, the grandeur and the magnitude of the British empire. t And the particular urgency of the r-rStrntinn nf this kind of home rule for Ireland, and even in the face ,i tie ominous protest of Ulster, which 19 no a throat nf revolution. is v c ra I""" r".rtly the desire of the Asquith min istry to maintain Its position ana power. If it doesn't keep its pact with Red mond and the Nationalists, its lease on life is mighty short. And if it does pass the home rule measure in its present form, the exDlrsion that will result is likely to be of such proportions that It will fall anyhow, so,, the Asquttn min istry and present rule of the Liberal party in England is finally in a place that is pretty mucn like tne one Be tween the devil and the deep sea. It is also another significant Illus tration of the extent to which politi- rini will mo to keen their feet in the trough of public power, patronage and emoluments. Here is the Asquith min istry, the champion of champions or the nlain neoDle. willing to take the chances of plunging its nation into a bloody civil war and solely for the pur- acy b paying a purely politfcal debt of 'questionable contraction. THE COUNTRY BOY WHO WOJf Thirty-three years ago a farmer's iad. named Frank Vanderllp, Walked Into the railroad shops at Aurora, 111., and. asked for a job, writes -Arthur Prilfc in Leslie s. His father was dead; his mother and sisters looked to him for help. He had. not had time to learn much out of books, but the very simplicity of the life about him, the sincerity which his neighbors put Into each act of the day's round, had glvefc him an instinctive appreciation of the possibilities of hard work. He got the. Job he wanted Appren tice in the machine shops at three dol lars a week and then began, to look about him. He saw that the best me chanic In the place, was earning only S. GO a day and realised that he must .do more than train his hands to cas ter shafting and turn lathes. No won derful vocation flamed up in. his soul; he felt no call to correct the world's great evils; he did not even map out any clever plan for a career of power or money acquisition. He feH hleaseM a very ordinary young man. exactly like everybody else of his age about hint; he' was inspired only' by a stronsr de sire to work his way to the top? To day he is at the head of one of the greatest banks in the world, the Na tional City of New Tork. ?i Here; is the secret of this man's suc cess in the years which have since passed: he was willing to work. In fact, that wflUnarie amounted to a very passion for digging Into every problem 'which came up in the coarse of duty; and he did a little bit more he looked .for new problems. The opportunities of the home town. however, seemed to him no longer big enough; after working a while and picking up stenography in spare hours, he found a position in the office of an Investment company in Chicago. From this work to the charge of the financial columns of the Chicago Tribune was an easy change and again he set himself to prepare for difficul ties ahead. He studied banking law. currency and international exchange, and the reporter became' an editor whose writings on financial topics aroused attention among the wisest bankers of the city. Someone once asked the old doorkeeper of the Tribune: "Dave, who is that young fellow by whom you set your watch every day?',' The grizzly one grunted: Oh, that's Vanderllp; he's always on time to the dot." At the .end of eight years on the paper,: the bey who had begun as a mechanic was noticed by Lyman Gage, the secretary of the treasury, who de cided that scribbling was a waste of such talents and took the editor along to Washington. Looking for trouble and finding a way to get the best of it had become a habit with Vanderllp; and when the Spanish war broke out and a big loan was to be floated by the treasury de partment, the new assistant to Mr. Gage showed such marked capacity for organization that James Stillman, the eminent -New York financier, was attracted to the budding financier. After four years at Washington Frank A. VanderHp became head of the National City bank. Journal Entries An easy mark is sure to have a large company of "friends."

The Evening Story TJie Blue-Eyed Kitten. (By Belle Maniates.) It was three days before the wed ding. Constance had lost Interest In the presents that had been pouring in-, 'rhey were all so conventional and there had been such a tiresome repeti tion of silver, glass and china' "Why can't people be original even in wedding presents!" she wondered. Her meditations Were Interrupted y the entrance of a maid with a note. "For me?" aekedCenstance, stretch ing forth her hand She read the note' twice, thrice, her face aglow with curiosity, Interest and memories of the past. "My Dear Connie: I hear you are .o be married on Thursday next. In memory of old days, which I trust you have not forgotten, I am sending you a wedding present. I cannot hope to compete with the costly gifts you will receive, so I have sent you something for which long ago I heard you ex press a wish. Tou will not, I am sure, have a duplicate of it. I am sending tnls note in advance to prepare you for my gift, which will arrive in a short' time. "Wishing you all happiness, I am most sincerely,, DOLPH KANE." This note carried Constance back to the days before her father, had made money, and they had lived in plain style in a small town. She had been "Connie"" then, "and at' the public school from the days of the sixth grade until she wds .graduated Dolph Kane had. been, hi the school vernacu lar, rher steady." He was two years older than she. but they had been in tne same classes. The fall after, she. Was graduated Ver father had struck oil, and ther naq. movea to tne city. For a time she and Dolph had corresponded reg ularly, then In a desultory manner and finally all communication had ceased.- So many things had happen ed. She had been abroad twice and bad lived in a whirl of social pleas ures. But she was sure she had writ ten since she had;-heard from him. Her heart beat a little faster as she read his note that sounded so boyishly Uke him. She remembered so 'vividly Hir. eager, alert face. He had been a favorite with the entire household, and he had been' urged to -visit them i' Iter they left Marshfield, but he had refused. She had tried to make him realize that their change of fortune would not affect their friendship, but lie had been very foolishly proud about it. A year later he had gone wort, and she hadn't heard where he ivas until this note. She wondered what his gift would be. Something different from the -others, of that she was sure. A very warm tender feeling crept into her thoughts of him. She summoned her maid. "Find out, Elsie, who brought this note." Elsie returned with the information that it had been brought by a district messenger. "Then he must be here in the city," site decided, and gave orders that no messenger bringing a present was to be allowed to depart until she had in terview d him. She waited restlessly, trying vainly to recall what she had wished for in" those bygone days. At last she was summoned" to the serv ants hall. A messenger stood there with a-basket to which was attached i tag bearing her name. "Where did you go to get this," she asked, "or was it brought to the of ficer "I was telephoned for." Informed the bey. "to come to 41ft Hollis building, and when I got there, a young man gave me this basket." "Did you notice the name on the door?" "Yes; it was a- real estate. The names on the door were Douglass aVl Kane." The boy was allowed to depart and Constance opened the basket. Out sprang a kitten, whose soft fur was of spotless white. A hlue ribbon was tied about its neck. Then she noticed that Its eyes were blue, and she remembered how she had once longed for a kitten with blue eyes. To think of his remembering! No one else I "know wovld remember that long." she thought v.-latfully. Carrying the kitten In her arms she went, to the tebw- P tow the desired number .r iNuiaa at by calling IhfOrmatUm Dolph's voice answered.- "Dolphi this is Connie." "Oh!

Do you call that friendly T' "Well you see I beard you were to be married.. "What difference did, that maker A great deal to me." i A silence followed, which was brok en by a plaintive mew from the kitten, who had stuck her head into the re ceiver. "Is -that the kitten I sentr "Yes; and she la a darting. I like her best of any of the presents."'. N "That's nice of you to say so." "Dolph, if we had known your ad dress we should have sent yon an in vitation to the weddinng.. They are all mailed now, but I want you to come on my personal invitation." "I'd rather not. please. Connie." "But you will to please me, Dolph. I want to see you; -but I shall he so busy for the next three days. Come, if only for a few moments, please. Dolph." Ther was a pause in the conversa tion. Then his voice came, strained and low: "Very well, Connie.- I'll come. After the. ceremony was over, Connie stepped from the receiving line to greet an eager faced young, man. "Connie! And I thought you were to be the bride. Douglass told me so." "People always do- get Cornelia and me mixed. But," in feigned alarm, "you won't take your present back? "No, Connie.

the Novelty for the last time tonight. The bill includes: The Kewanie Japs, Japanese marvels; Gladys Vance, comedienne and originator of the mirror gown: Mills and Moulton, "A Trial Performance;" Charles and Madeline Dunbar in "Animalfunology" and the Vestoff trio of dancers and musicians. A company of eighteen clever peo ple selected with the care and skill of ltng experience, constitute the per sonnel of that merry musical extrava ganza, "The Cat and the Fiddle," which Mr. Charles A. Sellon, the long time successful producer, is trusting to the theatrical sea for another sea son. Having had the hilarious pleasure of seeing this weird combination of nightmares and musical comedy our selves, we fully concur in the wisdom of another or a hundred seasons for this uproariously comical piece. It, like the book, should run on forever, chasing away care and sorrow and -smoothing the wrinkles from aching brows wherever It may chance to stop. The children wait for the show, with the same eagerness with which they lock for the circus, and we believe, if the truth were told, their elders are not far behind them in this desire. "The Cat and. the Fiddle" will be seen at the.

The stunts for the remaining four nights of this week are added numbers. Tonight will be offer ed an innovation in the shape of the tango on roller skates, the partici pants being local couples who are ex perts on the rollers. Tomorrow even ing six acts of amateur vaudeville are booked, ranging all the way from a. single to a quartette, and there'll be entertainment in. the bunch. Friday night the winners in the recent tango contests will contest for the city tango championship. Miss Marie Bowen and Mr. Smut Smith will be paired against Miss Ruth Hanson and Mr. Thomas Dehoney.

An agreement was reached between the mayor and members of the city commission and Frank G. Drenning, at torney, whereby the city agreed ,to pay and Mr. Drenning agreed- to accept $5,750 as fee for his services in handling the. city's suit against John Ritchie, contractor, which was recently termin ated in a victory for the city in the United States circuit court of appeals, sitting in St. Louis. -Credit for the city's victory is ac corded to the tenacity and legal ability of Mr. Drenning, who stuck to the legal battle for six years and finally suc ceeded in getting an award of W2.O0O in cash for the city and .a -judgment for $17,000. "His fee. while large is no more than his services have been worth to the city,'.' said Roy L. -Bone, city commis sioner of finance. "Mr. Drenning stayed right on the job and it was a mean case. It almost broke Commis sioner Tandy's heart, for Drenning, In h hos-lnnini- insisted that he had to have evidence about the condition of the sewer over wnicn me initauon oc curred. This meant opening the pav tnr at maces thirty feet apart on West street and of course this -was grief to the commissioner or streets. "But In the end Drenning naa a cnan prepared showing the sewer and its defects and .also what the contract had called for. and with DrennlngTs expla nation to go with the chart, it was sim ple and understandable to even a 10 year-old child and Drenning-made the judges see Just what the facts1 were. Aside from this Drenning rounded up over two hundred witnesses. He lo cated Just about every laborer who had been employed by Ritchie in construct ing that sewer and he had .them in court to tell Just how they had done the work. I talked to a number of lawyers in tbe city and all of them are unstinted in their praise- of his work on this case and say the fee asked is not unreasonable. "I understand Ritchie has compli mented Drenning's stick-to-itiveness by saying that he supposed that if he died and went to the place below ha Excelsior Cycle Co. 208 West Sixth St. EXCELSIOR KANSAS would find Drenning standing at the entrance with a forked stick waiting for a chance to prod him." at the rove.

Schenck Grills State Inspector on the Witness Stand. Although Dr. iS." JC'Crumbine was not present, he was the central figure In a suit brought today in the city court. Baughman Bros., ice cream manufac turers, were arrested on a state war rant charged with violating Dr. Crum bine's order that no ice cream contain ing less than 14 per cent mills fat should be sold in the state of Kansas. 'Do you know Dr. Crumbine and his spotters?" was one of the first ques tions asked by J. J. Schenck, attorney for the defense, of the six special Jur ors. Jesse C. Baughman, John M. Baugh man and Ellsworth Baughman were ar rested on four counts. The principal witnesses for the state were A. K. Ice, state food inspector, W. X. Woodford, FTed Swan of the White Swan bakery. and Sneed. a colored "spotter.' The suit. is an echo of the broiling days last July when all Topeka con sumed ice cream, regardless of quality. After July 4 Inspector Ice secured his samples and sent them to be analyzed in a laboratory at Manhattan. If Bauahman Bros, had labeled their frozen mixture "custard" instead of 'ice cream" the suit would not have been brought. John Switzer conducted the examina tion for the state and J. J. Schenck. as sisted by Paul Heinz, defended the ice cream dealers. Mr. Schenck, whose cross-examinations are as grilling as the weather last July, succeeded in be wildering the spectacled state inspec tor. 'If a substance contains 13 per cent. butter fat," he demanded, "what would you call it?" Mr. Ice did not know. He wouldn t call it ice cream. Mr. Schenck approached the Jury tri umphantly. "I want to read you gentlemen this complaint." he requested. "It charges Baughman Bros, with unlawfully sell ing ice cream containing less than 14 per cent. fat. Tou signed this com plaint, I believe, Mr. Ice?" The inspector could not deny it. "Tou have made a false affidavit," announced Mr. Schenck. The Jury was excused at noon, and heard the 'remainder of the. evidence after lunch. BOB PEEBLES BACK. Golf Instructor Arranging Summer Schedule Professional Matches.

She insisted that the proprietor remove the boards at once, and on her return trip she found the exit had again been hoarded up. The owner's arrest, foUowed. The boards were not again put up.

Gov ernor Hodges of Kansas urged the ap pointment or election of a commis sion of three men to handle the good roads work of the entire state at a good roads and good citizenship din ner at the Argentine Y. M. C. A. at Argentine, a suburb, Tuesday night. "The three great activities which make for advanced civilization and an Increased state prosperity are the in telligent cultivation of the soil, better schools and permanent roads," he said. "There is nothing that contributes more to moral advancement and eco romic agricultural gain than perma nent highways. "We yearly spend eleven million dollars upon our public schools.' The school fund is a sacred trust. A good roads fund is Just as sacred a trust, and the state should demand that every dollar be spent with the same wisdom and the same desire for per manent results that is demanded in the upbuilding of our schools. We bhould have a commission of three in cur state, all big, broad gauged men, who will serve without a salary, to direct the expenditure of all road funds and to supervise the construc tlon of all roads throughout the state."

Speak ing about the new electric lights for St. Francis, the Herald says: "The electric lights have been demoralizing the crowing hours for the roosters of this city. Through mistake of believ ing the morning arrived they have ov ertaxed their vocal chords until they now make about the same noise trying to crow that we do trying to talk after an exciting ball game when the home team wins by one score in the thir teenth inning." Wallace county will have a new court house, the contract having been letto W E. Hulse Co., of Greensburg. The plans call for a building to cost $25,250.

Robin son, of Atwood, has been appointed to organize the lodge. The St. Francis Herald hopes to see the time colme soon when the eastern Kansas papers will quit magnifying the reports of storms In that section of the state. It makes no difference whether there is little or much snow, the Her ald says, the napers come out with headlines telling about the fierce bliz zards raging and the loss of stock. That paper goes on and says: "If there was any foundation for such reports we would not object, but the facts are that western Kansas has a mighty fine brand of winter weather year by year. There are snows and a few disagreeable days now and then but no worse than central and eastern states experience and not nearly so many of them. Those yarns telling of terrible blizzards in western Kansas must be stereotyped and whenever there is a lack of other misleading statements about this mighty good country those thrice told tales, and then some, are rehashed." Bonds have been voted to the amount of $7,000 for a new school house in Lu ray. Goodland Merchants Busy. Goodland. Kan., March 25.

After they had finished the several jobs they left Manhattan on Union Pacifio train tlO for Kansas City, and Woodward then beat it with most of the swag, most of which he disposed of in St Louis, where he was caught while try ing to pawn the silver taken from the ljantz home.

The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the ellminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel, like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains In the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepiness, acid stomach or rheuma tism In bad weather, get from your pharamacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous Baits is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so It is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending uri nary and bladder disorders.

Now "Billy" Pepperell Is Internal Revenue Collector. Leavenworth, March 25. From a bootblack, who walked the streets of Concordia with a "shine parlor" over his shoulder, to internal revenue col lector, spans the life of W. H. L. Pep perell up until the present time. A friend of the revenue collector was in Leavenworth recently and spoke of the hardships .of Mr. Pepperell's early life. When questioned about it Mr. Pepperell laughingly admitted that the story which follows Is about true. When ll years old Mr. Pepperell left his home at Junction City and walked to Concordia, which at that time had no railroads. For several years he blacked boots on the streets. Later he sold fruit and at the age of 17 he entered a law office where he picked up the principal part of his education. While in a law office Mr. Pepperell gained an extensive acquaintance in Cloud county in driving through the country on insurance business and collection business. When nineteen years old he was elected chairman of the Cloud Co- central committee, which position he has held up to the present time. "It was the proudest moment of my life," said Mr. Pepperell, "when I was elected. The old men laughed because it was an empty honor at that time as the Democrats were far in the minor ity. I remember I pawned a watch for $10 to pay my expenses at the state convention. It took me eleven months at a dollar a month to redeem my watch, the Jeweler charging me a dollar interest" At that time George W. Glick was running for governor against John P. St John. At the preceding election St John had carried Cloud county by more than a thousand. Mr. Pepperell received a letter from the Democratic state chairman saying that if St John's majority could be cut down to 500 it was possible to carry the state for Glick. i Mr. Pepperell neglected his insur ance business and spent weeks driv ing through the country. He paid men in different townships 32 each to bring in the returns on election night mortgaging a team of horses to do so. At 3 o'clock on the morning after -election Mr. Pepperell sent the follow ing telegram to Democratic headquar ters at Topeka: "Glick wins by 444." An hour later he received the fol lowing telegram "Tou mean, Glick lost by 444." Mr. Pepperell replied: "Official returns now in. Glick won by 448. four more votes for him." At that time he was offered a good state Job but refused, saying he would ask for a plum he had in mind later. That was the postoffice at Concordia, which he held under both Democratic administrations. EVANGELICAL ASS'll. Announce Conference Appointments j. K. Young stays Here. Newton, Kan., March 25.
