Earthquake and volcanic eruption, followed by lire, destroyed many villages on the slopes of Mount Ktna last night. ine dis aster caused the death of at least 135 persons. The number of l"Jred. placed at 283. Refugees declare that the property loss is as great as in the Messina disaster of 1908. Railroad tracks were torn up, churches razed to the. ground, houses shaken to ruin, and telegraph poles overturned over a radius of several miles around Catania. Terror-stricken people rushed rrom the villages into Catania before day break today bringing stories of ruin and disaster. Their reports caused the authorities to take immediate steps to start measures of relief. The army, the navy and the civilian au thorities received orders from Rome to render aid in the work of rescue. The aid of the Red Cross was quickly enlisted. Interruption of railroads and tele graphs made it impossible to obtain any accurate details as to the loss of We. Property Loss Is Heavy. The property damage was very great in many villages. Churches and public buildings were destroyed and hundreds of houses fell to the ground. According to refugees, fire in some places completed the work of destruc tion and hindered the effort of the rescuers. One of the evidences of the severity of the series of shocks is seen along the roadside, where hundreds of tel egraph poles were overturned. Half a mile of railroad track was turned topsy turvy near the village of Man gano. Official reports late today placed the number of dead at 135 and the in jured at 283. These figures wili prob ably be increased by complete ad vices from the wrecked villages. A greater catastrophe was prevented by the fact that the final severe shock of earthquake was preceded by sixty others and many of the papulation had abandoned their houses and Jled Into the open country. The great gravity of the disaster was not realized until this morning. When reports came in from the sur rounding country. The villages of Linera and Consen tini were transformed into heaps of ruins. At Zafferana. every house was de stroyed. Enormous damage was caused at Santa Venerina. Roofs fell in and walls collapsed in the hamlets of Santa Maria Ammalatt, Carico Ouardia, Magano, aSnta Tecla and Bongiardo. The village of Santa Maria Vergine, Catena was razed to the ground. Fifty Dead at Linera. Fifty persons are known to have been killed in the village of Linera, which was destroyed. Among the ruins of Passopomo, Bongiardo and Malati, twenty bodies had been round this morning. Prefect Miner Vini of Catania, end all the officials under his superintend ence, were called together before day break this morning and received or ders to do their utmost to aid the af flicted inhabitants. They have' since been working indefatigably. The soldiers in the district are aid ing In the endeavor to rescue those still alive beneath the ruins and to ex tricate the dead from the debris. All available nurses were mobilized today and are assisting in gathering the homeless and the children who have lost their parents. Temporary shelter is being provided here for the refugees. Along the principal highways, in the stricken district, tne scene of desola- tlon was nearirenuim ina morning. Groups or rerugees were frequently en countered. Many of these were bur dened with improvised litters made of branches of trees and bushes on which they were carrying dead and dying rel atives, to the temporary surgical sta tions, established by the surgeons and nurses. In the neighborhood of Santa Venerina the number of injured was very great. The authorities have commandeered all available automobiles to assist in the work of rescue. Disturbance Was Volcanic. Cambridge, Mass., May 9. Scient ists at Harvard university said today that the Sicilian earthquake .was of volcanic origin, as no record of any disturbance during the past 24 hours was shown by the university seismo graph. Shocks of a volcanic nature, it was partially destroyed by an erup beyond the locality in which they originate. Dead Number 100. Rome. May 9. Incomplete reports from Catania this morning indicated that the number of dead in the earth quake disaster is about 100. The to tal of injured will reach several times that number. Upon receipt of 'he first news of the catastrophe the min ister of war and the minister of ma rine sent orders to the commanders of the military and naval forces in the district to give all possible assistance. A concentration of soldiers was or dered to be carried out immediately SATURDAY EVENING. and the commanders were directed to take with them tents, provision and clothing. The Italian Red Cross sent an emergency corps to the afflicted town, Premier Salandra sent urgent orders to the prefect of Catania to take all possible relief measures. The destruction of telegraph lines and railways rendered it most diffi cult for the authorities here to obtain accurate details of the catastrophe. For several days earthquake shocks had been felt at frequent intervals, ac companied by eruptions of Mount Etna. No particular attention' was paid to (Continued on Page Six.; POST IS A SUICIDE Inventor of Breakfast Foods Kills Himself in California. He Was Operated Upon for Ap pendicitls March 10 Last.

Evading a trained nurse who had been attending him since he returned a few weeks ago from Rochester, Minn., where he underwent a major operation, he placed the muzzle of tba rifle in his mouth and pulled the trig ger with his toe.

Even if the re ported execution by General Maas's men of Private Samuel Parks, the or derly missing since Wednesday, prove true, army officers are inclined not to regard one such incident as apt to precipitate a clash. They believe such an act probably would be that of a subordinate offi cer, without authority and that Gen eral Maas would be wholly ignorant of the matter until the Mexico City government asked for an explanation. It is assumed here that the matter will be taken up by the authorities at Washington, through the Brazilian minister at Mexico City, and that the Huerta officials will make a prompt investigation. General Funston deems it inadvis able to open formal communication with General Maas and is therefore leaving the case of Private Parts to Washington. Funston Wants Equipment. General Funston has asked that the brigade equipment left behind at Gal veston because of lack of room for horses and wagons on the transport be sent forward. He also is asking that recruits for regiments here no-.v assembled at recruiting depots in the United States be shipped. The equip ment Includes a majority of the regi mental wagon trains and horses for the signal corps. Lacking these the signal corps and quartermaster's de partment are hampered in their woik about the city and at the outposts. Reports from the northern outposts and the aviators Indicate that there are more regulars in that direction than was heretofore thought. One party of fifty was seen. They made no hostile demonstration and proceed ed apparently without paying atten tion to the Americans. The largest party seen northward previously was a small squad which was sighted a few days ago by an aviator. The army estimates the population of Vera Cruz, including troops and American and .Mexican refugees, as between 40,000 and 50000. ...This -is one-third above normal and accounts for the water shortage.

President Waters expects to spend two months in the islands. A remarkable, spontaneous demon stration today took by surprise Presi dent Waters or the Agricultural col lege and his family as they were de parting in the early afternoon. The entire student body and all the citizens of the town seemed to emerge upon the streets following the presi dent to the station. Bands played and the people shouted an enthusiastic tribute which touched the hearts of the departing family. WILL FIGHT IN KANSAS Socialists Are Planning to Win in Third Congress District.

MAY 9, TDSUONCASE Supreme Court Awards Half of His Fees. Him That Was All He Claimed Un der the Law. SHAWuEE COURT REVERSED It Had Given All Thomas' Fees to County. Court Unanimous in Decision for Ex-District Clerk. Richard L. Thomas today won a victory in the supreme court in the suit with the Shawnee county commis sioners regarding the division of fees during the five years that Thomas was clerk of the district court. In an opin ion modifying the decision of the dis trict court, the supreme court held that Thomas was entitled to one-half of the fees after paying his salary of $3,000 a year as clerk and deducting not to exceed $2,000 a year for clerk hire. The supreme court was unanimous in its decision in favor of Thomas in the famous Shawnee county fee case. By the decision today, the county must turn back to Thomas one-half of $19, 500 in fees paid under protest, except ing $671.50 for a private audit, which the court held Thomas should pay from his share of the fees. Interest on the county's half of the fees must be paid by Thomas. But Thomas under the de cision will be entitled to his half in terest in nearly $6,000 in fees earned during his administration and collected by his successor in office. Thomas became clerk of the court In Shawnee county in January, 1907. 'He served until March. 1912, when he was succeeded by Charles E. Bower, who was appointed by the court during the controversy between Thomas and the board of county commissioners.

On receipt of information from American Consul Rogers, at Havana, that munitions consigned to General Huerta, on oer man ships, would be returned to Ger many, as a result of action "recom mended by agents or tne vessels. Secretary Bryan today announced that apprehension concerning shipments of arms to the Huerta government naa been averted. No "Aggressive" Move. Reiterating today his declaration of last night that there was nothing "im minent" in the Mexican situation and that no "aggressive" move was in con templation. Secretary of War Garri son continued supervision of prepara tion to send the balance of the sec ond division of the army to Vera Cruz. Orders have gone to the Fourth and Sixth brigades at Texas City to be ready to reinforce General Funston. Throughout the day war depart ment officials were engaged In gather ing transports and up to noon ar rangements had been made for eleven ships, including the four regular army transports now at Galveston. Anxiety was aroused at tne state de partment over the reported capture by Mexican, soldiers near Vera Cruz of Samuel Parks, a private of the 28th infantry, who rode into the Mexican lines while believed to be suffering from temporary insanity. Another report from Vera Cruz to the effect that an unidentified Ameri can had been executed by Mexican troops, led the department to insti tute an inquiry through the Ameri can authorities at Vera Crux. Kncouraging Jfews. Encouraging news was received from American Vice Consul SilHman, who has been reported imprisoned at Saltillo, Ambassador Jusserand having informed Secretary Bryan of assur ances from the French minister In Mexico City that Mr. Silliman and other Americans at Saltillo were safe and welL In dispatches from Ameri can Consul Hanna at Monterey, (Milt man was mentioned as a classmate at Princeton of President Wilson. President Wilson again had under consideration today the proposed per sonnel of American delegates to par ticipate in the forthcoming mediation. conference at Niagara Falls. In that connection he conferred with Fred erick W. Lehman, former solicitor general, who arrived from St. Louis. No selections have yet been an nounced by the president. The South American mediation en voys held another conference during the day, but made no announcement. Senor Pulio Maquieira arrived today to act as' second secretary of the Chilean legation and word was re ceived that Manuel Salinas, now first secretary at Vienna, had been ap pointed first secretary here.

REFIY OF THE OED STATES Is Transmitted to Mexico Through A. B. C. Mediators. Huerta Will See Capitol in Ashes Before He Quits.' Washington, May 9. With the de parture of Huerta's mediation mission from Mexico City today the South American envoys and government of ficials here were assured there would be no hitch in the Niagara Falls ne gotiations through the tardiness of the Mexican delegation. Huerta's repre sentatives will proceed to the Cana dian border city by the way of Vera Cruz and Key West" They should ar rive in ample time for the beginning of the mediation preliminaries May 18. Announcement of their itinerary early today by the three envoys put to rest reports that the Huerta rep resentatives might avoid traveling through .the United States by going to Niagara Falls by the way of Salina Cruz and Vancouver. Whether they might be invited to avail themselves of the courtesy of an American vessel In their journey from Vera Cruz to Key West was an interesting topic of discussion among diplomats today, who were looking up precedents along that line. News that the Mexican mediators were on their way was expected to ex pedite the announcement of the Amer ican mission. It was believed that if the names of the United States repre sentatives were not given out today the announcement would not be de layed much after the return of Pres ident Wilson from memorial services to the American victims of the occu pation of Vera Cruz at the Brooklyn navy yard Monday. War Preparations Continue. While interest was renewed today in the diplomatic phase of the Mexican crisis there was no abatement of exe cution of the program of preparedness in the war and navy departments. Sec retary Garrison explained that he was trying to gather transports at Galves ton that could be used to send the fourth and sixth brigades to Vera Cruz "in case it is thought wise in view of a precautionary attitude to have them there." He asserted no aggressive move was contemplated and that there was no change in the situation "So far as hostilities are con cerned." Reports from Galveston today-said the two"DrlgacTes we're rea3y' to embark at a moment's notice.

Possibly they will be confiscated by the federal govern ment. V At every designated depository crowds of curious persons assembled and speculation was rife as to the to tal number of guns which would be received by the army officer in com pliance with the proclamation. The officers themselves did not believe they would obtain even a majority of the guns in the district. Practically all of the army officers in executive positions have had experience in the Philippine islands in disarming the more or less mutinous natives, and have indicated that they might pursue the course adopted there, that of search and seizure.

He declared that a county ticket would be nominated by the Progressives is nearly all of the counties and that the Kansas Bull Moosers would fight for the court house Jobs as well as the State offices. Sheffield Ingalls made good the as surance of a three cornered fight in the First district by announcing his candi dacy for congress against D. R. An thony, Republican. Will Beck, editor of the Holton Recorder, announced for lieutenant governor. A dramatic scene followed the an nouncement of Miss Helen Eacxer of Lawrence as a candidate for state auditor. An effort had been made to Induce Miss Eacker to enter the race, but she declared that she preferred to make suffrage speeches in Nebraska and New Tork. Suddenly, though. Miss Eacker turned to Henry J. Allen. "If I do consent to the use of my name, Mr. Allen, I want a public state ment from you that you are going to stay In the race until the end," said Miss Eacker. Her challenge meant the settlement for all time ot the rumor that Allen might not stay In the gubernatorial light to the finish. And the Bull Moos ers In the Emporia meeting leaned for ward to hear Allen's reply. "Miss Eacker, I made the promise to run under protest." said Allen. "I did not want to get In the race, but I am In it and I expect to stay in it until the polls close. I expect to make such a campaign in the fall that no one will know I got in under protest. I am go ing to fight to win. I'll Btay until the and." A noisy demonstration followed Al len's statement. Miss Eacker made her announcement, a full state ticket was placed in the field and the Bull Moos ers went home to continue the fight that was started under Roosevelt's leadership in 1912. They Endorsed Carney. More than 100 Fifth district Dem ocrats met In Clay Center Friday and endorsed A. B.

Cloud county; T. M. Do lan, Washington county, and Dennis Fitzgerald, Riley county, prepared resolutions endorsing Carney's candi dacy. Foote Is Oat of It. County Attorney E. T. Foote of Hutchinson has stated that he will not be a candidate for attorney general on the Democratic ticket. Foote made bis announcement several weeks' an.. but decided to withdraw because of the long list of state, congressional and senatorial candidates from Reno county. Foots home county has thus far offered more available can- dldates for office than almost the en tire remaining 104 counties. So Foote saw trouble ahead .and loaned his hare ot possible sorrow to tha- other ambitious Reno county office seekers. Republicans Will Get Busy.'

"FIT" AT FORTY. Man's Greatest Activity Reached In Decade Before Half Century Mark. Experience has shown that mental ac tivity in man has reached its greatest heights between the ages of 40 and 50. Some of the world's greatest masterpieces In literature, music, and art have been achieved by men bordering on the halt century. Physically, howeve according to Sir Ernest Sheckteton. "-.der 30 a man, no matter how keen and nippy, is still a man in the making. By 30 he has matured. Between 30 and 40 he is at his best. "I do not Bay." continues Sir Ernest, "thai a man of 26 or 27 may not have the physical endurance of older men, but, taking It all round, I think 30 and onward is the best age. There have been cases of men of older age, such as Peary, who was about 53 when he did his last ex pedition, and Prof. David, who made the Journey to the magnetic pole in my last expedition, and climbed Mount Erebus two of the hardest possible Journeys in the antarctic regions." I Sir Ernest himself Is 39 years of age. But with his mode of life he will probably remain, physically, 39 for many years to Come. London Answers. Judge Lowe He-Elected. 1 Indianapolis, May 9.

HOCX ISLACD HEEDS. Bond Holders' Expert Says Road Most Have $5,000,000. New Tork, May 9. According to S. W. McKenna. a railroad expert an gaged by the bondholders protective committee of the Chicago, Rock Island aV Pacific Railway company, approxi mately 365.000,000 will be required to effect such economics and general Im provements as are necessary to place the system on a proper physical finan cial basis. Mr. McKenna's report which has been awaited with much Interest by holders of Rock Island securities Is rather more exhaustive than that made some weeks ago by T. M. Schumacher, the chairman of the Rock Island com pany, who estimated the system's needs at 949.000,000. Construction of a short line from Chicago to Kansas City by way of Peoria, 111., and Keokuk. Ia., would have a potent effect, says Mr. McKen na, In reducing transportation ex penses. Other improvements he be lieves would go far towards restoring the stock of the railway company to at least Its par value. THOMAS WON CASE, (Continued From Page One.) claimed that Thomas should pay over to the county treasurer all of the fees in excess of the amount allowed by law for salary and clerk hire. Thomas contended that he was entitled to half of the fees after his salary and the clerk hire was paid. He insisted that he receive his f 3.000 salary and the clerk hire before paying any money to the county and that then be was per mitted to keep half of the excess fees. Since the creation -or tne secona ai virion of the district court, he con' tended for $3,000 a year elerk hire instead of 32,000 unaer tne oia w. Hia contentions on these points were today upheld by the supreme court and the victory means him inoman will receive about 312,000 which the countv aouaht to hold. The trouble In the clerk of the court's office came when the county commissioners in 1911 ordered, a ape' clal audit of the books of the county officials. Thomas's office was ine first to be audited. It was freely rhirmrt that the audit was the out growth of a row among county offi cials and that the then Simon-Norton-Zimmerman-O'Neil crowd were look ing for the clerk's goat at public ex pense. As a result of the audit In Thomas' office, the county laid claim to nearly 320,000 in fees collected by 'l nomas. The audit had cost nearly 38.000 and nearly one-half of the expense of the audit was for the Thomas investiga tion. While the county was making its audit at an expense of nearly 34.000. Thomas made a private audit at a cost of 371.50, which the court refused to permit him to pay for from the earnings of the office. The lower court also upheld the con tentions of the county commissioners regarding the holding of all fees In ex cess of the Thomas salary and clerk hire. It was on these issues that the case went to the supreme court. The decision of the supreme court upholds the contention of the attor neys for Thomas on every material Is sue except the question of the payment of 3671.50 for the private audit. On an agreed statements of facts, declares thin mionHnn is emblsruously stated and that the lower court should hear further evidence or secure a more de finite agreement on the one point. Dodge CKy Park Case. The city of Dodge City Is going to have a lawsuit over Its city park, un der a ruling of the Kansas supreme court today In granting a writ of mandamus against H. M. Klnkhead, county clerk of Ford county. The city park is supposed to be an Island In the Arkansas river, and it was riven to th citv many years ago. It has since been used as a public play ground. The city has spent many thousands of dollars Improving the park. Sometime ago A. W. Cain set tled upon the park as an Island which, under the law, would be school land. The residents of Dodge Jlty a rove Cain off the land and some of them even threatened him with bodily harm. But Cain filed his settlement papers with the county clerk, who refused to accept them because, he asserted, the Island was already pub lic property and could not be settled. Cain brought mandamus proceedings in the supreme court to compel the acceptance of his filing papers. The supreme court ruled today that he was entitled to settle upon the land and file- his claim, the questions of ownership and right to retain the. land to be settled later by court proceed ings. supreme ciaf DECISO BT JOHNSTON.

In spite of a good moving picture show and Jack Benja min's tent theater a good sized crowd greeted the debaters at the Normal last night. Carl R. Burkhead and William Englund, affirmative, from the Emporia normal; Carl Noll and Lloyd D. Reynolds, negative, from Fort Hays normal, debated the ques tion "Resolved, that to further in crease the army and navy of the Unit ed States is undesirable." Judges Hon. J. C. Ruppenthal of Russell and Prof. Carl Ostrum of Manhattan. The decision was in favor of the affirma tive. Both teams did creditable work and with many who attended it was de clared that the teams matched fairly well. When the result was announced the normal team, in true western Btyle, rushed across the stage and grasped the hands of the winners. The entire audience arose and gave three cheers, first for Emporia and then for Fort Kays normal. Rev. A. S. Hale acted as chairman and intro duced the speakers. The normal or chestra before the debate commenced gave a prelude concert.. Considerable Interest has been manifested in this debate and the various societies have for several days been booming the de bate. Every speaker was vigorously applauded during the course of the argument. OPPOSE UNION HIGH SCHOOL. Several Districts Vote No Promoters Not Discouraged. Ottawa. May 9. The plan for a new vnion high school at Lane is marking time. Three schools. Lane, Baker a..d Christian Ridge, have voted in favor of the plan. Two schools in Miami county, not far from Lane, Highland and Clarke Valley, have voted over whelmingly against the plan. However, the plan for a union liih rehool does not depend altogether on these Miami county schools. The three Franklin county schools voted affirmative, conditioned on four going Into the union. It is possible that oi.e other school from Franklin or Miami county may be secured for the uni n at a later date.

Fike Succumbs at' His Home in Colby Sick Long. Had Faith in Kansas for Wheat i Raising- Was Old Settler., Colby, Kan., May 9. J. N". Fike, Kansas wheat king, died of heart' dis ease at his -home here Friday. Mr. Fike has been in poor health for some time and only recently returned from Colorado Springs, where he had been taking treatment. James X. Fike. well known wheat grower and politician, who died Fri day evening at his home in Colby. He was the first man to undertake traction engine farming in this coun try and at one time was considered in excellent financial shape, but the last few years of failure have caused him to discontinue such heavy operations. funeral arrangements will not be made until a son in California and a daughter in Nebraska are heard from. Fike staked $175,000 in the last five years on the chance that there would be enough rain and seasonable weath er to give him a bumper wheat crop. Each year of the five something went wrong, either it didn't rain enough to start the wheat right, or it didn't freeze enough to give it a good stand, or the high winds blew most of it out of the ground, or the drouth hindered it from maturing; but there was enough of a crop in the worst of the five years to return him nearly all he had ventured, and in several of the years he made a profit of a mere $20,- ooo or so. He had seventeen thousand acres in wheat last year and it was planted with less cost than any other wheat in the state. His traction plows tore up the earth, harrowed it and seeded it, all in one operation, at the rate of one hundred acres a day. It cost him $30,000 when the seventeen thousand acres were in. One peculiarity of Jim Fike was that he was never in the least bit dis couraged, no matter how it goes. He was just as good natured and free with good stories and picturesque oaths when the weather won the bet as he would be if gold dollars nodded at the heads of his millions of wheat stalks. Fike drove into .Colby in May, 1885, from Wilburn, Neb., with a span of little ponies. He paid $15 for 160 acres of land and began wheat farm ing. He was the first clerk of the county. He did more for the county than any other man in it. He gave work on his big wheat farms to peo ple who otherwise would have left the county. He -supported a hundred families. Fike was at one time one of the best known Democrats in' Kansas and talked of as a candidate for gov ernor some time ago. He had been so Ions in western Kansas and h-id fought so hard against the weather odds that hundreds of Republicans and Democrats urged him to run and promised to vote for him, but Fike only laughed and began planning for more wheat. In IS 87 Fike was appointed post master at Colby by President Cleve land, but was succeeded by a Republi can in 1889. After leaving the postoffice, Fike engaged in the hardware and imple ment business until 1894, when two United States land offices of western Kansas were consqlidated and located at Colby. He was appointed register and served for four years. About this time he bought an 800-acre alfalfa ranch on Sappa creek., and began stock raising. Shorthorn cattle were his specialty. The stock ranch and pure bred cattle did not cause Fike to lose his interest in politics. He was rielegate-at-large to the Democratic national convention in Kansas City in 1900, and the following March was elected as a member of the sta'.e board of railroad commissioners. Si:; or seven years ago Fike began his wheat raising operations,' and at one time had an acreage of 15,000 acres. Mr. Fike is survived by a widow, two sons and a daughter. The daugh ter. Miss Blanche Fike, was visiting at Falls City at the time of her fath i ep's death. One of the sons, Harry B. Fike, is in the stock business at Good ing, Idaho. The other son, Guy E., is a conductor on the C, R. I. P. rail road and lives at Goodland. IN STRAWSTACK. 18 DATS. Farmer Found Missing Cow In Tun nel and Was Alive. 'Erie, Kan., May. 9. County Com missioner R. A. Butler has been m'ss ing stock from his farm. Nearly three weeks ago a fine heifer disap peared and three or four days ago a i young pig was listed among the mlss- mg. The other day be found the cow buried in a big strawstack, but till an ve after eighteen days' tmprison ment. Other strawstacks are being searched, but the pig has not been found. The stack where the cow was found was one in which the stock had bur rcwed and tunneled while feeding during the winter. In passing Mi. Butler heard moaning noises emanat ing from within. Securing the serv ices of several men. he began a search in the straw. They found the ema ciated animal barely alive and nearly famished for water. The tunnel through which the cow "had reached the interior of the stack had caved in behind her. College Baseball. -At St. Marys, Kan. St. Marys. 16, Friends, 1. At Kirksville, Mo.

Asked this question, 99. out of 100 would reply Cobb. But Is he? The records of 1913 do not point that way. Crawford played in 153 games last year; Cobb in 122.' Crawford was at bat 910 times and Cobb 428. Crawford scored 78 runs and Cobb is credited with 70. Crawford made 194 hits and Cobb 167. But the big difference exists in the number- of runs driven in. Crawford drove home 90 tallies for his team and Cobb sent In 96, which was but three more than Veach drove in. There Is no greater individual player than Cobb, but as a team player Crawford has the edge on the Georgia Peach. The figures prove that. -x iYASKl DEFEATED.

Topeka furnished an excellent mar ket for live stock and dairy products. Two hundred thousand hogs and their products are handled in the cap ital city. Fifteen thousand 'head Of cattle, which make 22.600,000 pound of aeef, are also handled here. Thousands of sheep' and eslvland fowls by the carload aref shipped to and from Topeka packing "houses.

Eight million pounds of butter and vast quantities of milk are handled, in the capital city. The foregoing table tells in brief an interesting story of the general farm products of Shawnee county other than the field and "specialized" crops. 'IS. If A Moneymaker In Shawnee Count Dairy cattle are- attaining more and 1 more importance in the county. Many farmers particularly those adjacent to Topeka, are readjusting their herds with a view to milk production. The large creameries in Topeka, including the Beatrice company (Continental Creamery company), which is the biir gest concern of the kind in the world, furnish a steady market for milk and cream. A large percentage of the farmers of Shawnee county feed stock in large or-small numbers. As is shown ia the accompanying table the annual revenue from the sale of animals sold for- slaughter is large. There are sev eral good herds of Hereford cattle in the county, but those commonly seen on the farms are grades of Shorthorn or Angus blood. There are some pure bred Angus cattle. O. K. Walker's Guernsey dairy cat tle are known in this and. other sec tions of the state as being of the high est grade. There- are several good herds of Guernseys and Hotsteins in the county. Some Red. ..Pqlled. cattle are used in milk production.. r.; i "The Soil Survey f Shawnee Coun ty, Kansas," a pamphlet recently pub lished by the United. States Depart ment of Agriculture, and written by W. C. Byers of the department and R. I. Throckmorton of 'the Kansas State Agricultural college, baa the fol lowing to say: "Milk and cream are carried into the city daily by all of the railroads, and wagons sent out by the cream eries gather cream along specified routes. Other wagons are operated by middlemen, who collect the cream at local points in the Tmore remote parts of the county and deliver it daily to the creameries. The supply from Dover and Auburn, hv gathered in this way. -'"Most of the farmers have separa tors, and only the cream is sold. Silo are common on the dairy farms' an? a1 great many more are in course of construction. For silage corn is used. OMtle the O. E. Walk Miss Julia Lathrop, in Box It is cut with a harvester, shredded, and 'elevated by power." Silos are filled -from-the middle ot Auguit to the middle of October, depending upon the crop used for sijage. "More money comes to the farmer from the sale of live stock than from any other source. Host of them -feed stock of some kind, buying much of their grain from tenants or owners of small- farms and keeping much of their own land in permanent pasture. In the more remote parts of the county a large part of the land is in pasture and has never been plowed. Most of the cattle fed are raised In the county or brought from adjoining counties. if y. Courtesy Kansas Farmer. "Hogs are raised by all the tarw ers. and some of them make' this stock more or less a specialty. Duroc Jerseys are probably the most com mon, though Berkshire and Foland- Chinas are- preferred by some.- Pure bred herds of each are raised In the county, though grades and crosses between pure bred animals are the most numerous..: Hogs are marketed either at the packing house In To peka or shipped to the Kansas City market."

r m, l I p 'k 'WWW.., DEYOuDJIE CITY Ial Estate Activities Will Be in the Outskirts. Three Attractive Additions Are on the Market. gige FROM is u::;ue The Bailey Brothers' Property Fronts on the Park. Crescent Lawn and Park Line Additions Are Launched. The sale of suburban property will be a leading feature in Topeka realty activity this season. Plats of two ad ditions have just been filed at the county building by the Shawnee Agency which will be known as Ches cent Lawn and Park Line addition. The former is situated a half mile west of Washburn college and the lat ter immediately west of Plnehurst on the Gage park railway extension. The plat of Gage Front lying just east of Gage park along Gage boulevard and between the West Seventn street ana West Tenth avenue roads was filed recently. Gage Front property is be ing handled by Bailey Brothers and company. A unique plan has been worked out for Gage Front. It has been in the nature of a "hobby," and for a period of several years, Luther C. Bailey, the originator of the idea has been build in hia mind what at first might have appeared to be nothing more or less than an air castle. However, me- pian has been perfected and the announce ment of the filing of the plat made. Gage Front Allotments. The Gage Front "allotments" not tracts in this instance front Gage boulevard and the homes that are erected will face Gage park. In fact the arrangement will be such that the addition will have all the appear ance of being part of the park. But 35 homes will be built on Gage Front and the houses must uniformly be constructed at a distance of 60 feet back of the property line. Special varieties of flowers, shrubs and trees, arranged in artistic designs and as division lines between homes by a landscape engineer of ability, will have a solid blue grass setting. A bank of lilacs which has already been Bet out along the rear-or alley line will form a pleasing background to the entire front. The allotments, a large number of which have a front age of 60 feet and a depth of over 300 feet, and .contain between five and six acres of land, are each named for some flower, shrub or tree, which the landscape gardener will make the dis tinguishing feature of the respective tracts. For example "The Roses," one of the allotments, will be noticeable for its everlasting roses. Named for Flowers and Trees. The names of the properties begin ning at Seventh avenue and Qage boul evard are aa follows: xne Clematis, The Woodbine, The Balix, The Silver thorne. The Vlrgilia, The Magnolia, The Japonica, The Bittersweet. The Rosea. The Lilies. The Iris. The Haw thorne. The Jasmine, The Holly. The Spiraea, The vinurnum, im uiaa, The Wistaria,- The Columbine. The Althae. The Tamarix, The Arborvltae, The Eglantine, The Red Bad. The Golden Rod, The Helianthus, .The Primrose, The Daffodils, The Jonquils, The Myrtle, The Ivy, The Ferns. The Mignonette, The Honeysuckle and The Azaleas. Gage Front is being developed with a view to meeting the demand for the beautiful. A uniform grade will be maintained for lawns and parkings. Title to the parking will always re main with the property owner, thus enabling him to keep the parkin clear of poles and other objectionable obstructions. There will be property restrictions as to use .-and occupancy. The high part of Gage boulevard on which the Gage Front homes will face is fifty feet higher than the corner of Eighth avenue and Jackson street in Topeka. Water and Electricity. There will, be city water and Edison electricity on the grounds. a good school near at .hand. and excellent roads. 7 To the rear of Gage Front proper nearly one hundred ordinary city lots have been laid out occupying high ground. Many improvements are yet to be made. Approximately 2,000 feet of concrete sidewalk will be laid soon. The Improvements will be pushed con stantly and by fall the tract as a whole will present an extremely at tractive appearance. A house on the property is being remodeled, and with the use of a government sanitary tank will be made entirely modern. Park Line Addition. Park Line addition extends the Eighth to Tenth avenue roads and is immediately west of Plnehurst. There are ten acres of land in tne property, which has been divided into ninety lots. Half of the lots are 2 5' by 151 feet in size, while the other half are 25 by 160 feet. They will sell at from $150 to $250 a lot. There will be car service, electric lights and city water, and there is a school house a short distance to the west. Students are taken Into the Topeka high school from this school. Crescent Lawn. Crescent Lawn addition lies a half mile west of Washburn college, and between Seventeenth and Nineteenth Btreets. It comprises twenty-four acres of land. The natural trees on this property make it extremely at tractive, there are elm, hickory, ash, cedar and other varieties of trees that make the tracts more desirable or home sites. The addition has been di vided into a large number of tracts, 100 by 248 feet in size, and others 100 by 170. They will be sold at from $300 to $600 per tract. SOUTHWESTERN GETS $15,000.

Provident Association lias Many Unman Interest Cases. GIL IwuSE TC3T11 E39I In One Family Brash Was Used on Baby's Hair. There Is. an Amusing Side to Provident Work. Here is an instance where the, Catts (cats) didn't "come back." It was one of the Interesting stories told at the Provident association. A famUy of Catts dirty, lacy and shiftless that inciuaea sur "Kittens," applied for aid at the association buildlna. They were assisted often and for a long period of time, but they were never out of debt ine man of the house worked occa sionally, but not more frequently than was absolutely necessary. In point of shiftlesaneas, the family went from bad to worse.- and eventual ly the Provident officials felt called upon to ask the city health depart ment to clean and fumigate the house because it had become a menace to the community. That night the Catts left town in the dark and have never since been seen. Human interest cases almost daily come before the notice of the social service workers of the Provident asso ciation., in speaking of some of these cases a representative of the organisa tion had the following to say: "In a feeble-minded family with which we had to deal we had many amusing experiences. 'On our first visit to see the new baby, the sixth in this- family, our attention was espec ially called to the long hair possessed by the child. The grandmother proudly explained that it was growing so long she had to brush it with the tooth brush. Had Toothbrush Once. "In another family when we In quired If the children had tooth brushes the mother replied promptly: 'Yes, we bad a brush -once, but the children got tired of using it after awhile.' "The children of some of our fami lies, were sewed, up for the entire win ter and they came from homes which had never had thorough houseclean lng. The only instance in which there was a general cleaning up was when there was' a death in the family and all washed to go to the funeral. "Mr. and Mrs. S. were both feeble minded and hard to handle. They were positively the dirtiest family we had to visit. Every time we sioke about cleaning up their house they were furiously angry and 'maintained that their home was as clean as any. After many interviews and having ex hausted a large amount of patience, we persuaded them to send two of their children to our day nursery. 'Now don't you beat or wash them children,' were the parting Instruc tions shouted out by the mother. It goes without saying, that the chlldren were bathed immediately upon arri val at the association building.- The mother didn't say a word about their changed condition to us. She allowed them to come to the nursery for sev eral days, but then said to one of us: The children can t leave me any more we love our children so much that we don't want them out of our sight!' And that was the last that was seen of them at the day nursery." Bis; Change In 40 Years. An aged couple, in their seventies. came to the notice of the Provident as sociation. Tears ago they resided in To peka. 40 years, toZbe exact. They had no relatives here, and they soon dis covered that all their friends and ac quaintances had either died or left the city. They said that they wanted to see what Topeka. was like after an elapse of so long a time. They stayed here a few days but decided that they could not feel at home on account of the many changes that had taken place. They went back to live with relatives. An excellent example of extrava gant buying is shown in the case of Mrs. P., who purchased household furniture on the installment plan. Among the articles that she bought was a gas stove listed at $45. Her husband was an Invalid and could not work, so the family was in dira distress when the case came to the notice of the association officials. With the combined efforts of relatives and other social agencies the family moved back to tnelr old home. Mrs. P. demanded that the Provident as sociation send the expensive stove by freight to her new address, but of course that could not be done and the storekeeper took back his own. Truant Officer Kept Busy. Another case that was brought to the attention of the Provident associa tion was' that of a man whose wife died, leaving four children in his care. He went to live with his cousin, who is a widow with five children. As the man and woman both worked, the children were alone, and naturally went to school When thev oleased and no oftener, thus keeping the truant of ficer busy a large part of the time. Lorella was an "old maid," 60 years old, who lived in a two roomed cottage alone, except for a cat. Her houses was extremely dirty, but she was per fectly contented with pictures of vari ous presidents on the walls. Then, too, is the old man with the aristocratic tastes who demands aid. scorning the poor farm as beneath his dignity. The best food and raiment he considers his due, and the way In which he tries to make love to all women of attractive appearance, is evidence that he still believes himself to be a charming gentleman. A pitiful figure is a poor unmarried woman, about 45 years of age, whose unattractive personality makes It im possible for her to keep a place as ser vant in a household. She is constantly worrying the Provident secretary by her applications' for employment. The Secret of Youth. "An elderly woman's youthfulness caused our visiting nurse to compli ment her on her fine appearance.' said an association official. 'Well, that's because I'm well and have never been kissed but once,' was her rather start ling answer. It seems she had been married many years and was the mother- of -six children. Her married life had been a, happy one and on the occasion of her husband's return from the war, she was so overjoyed at the meeting that she greeted him at the door with a kiss." The official continued: "One man consulted us in regard to bis wife who constantly brooded ever f said, that life with her was almost un bearable, under questioning her wo learned that she bad brooded the most upon her Indiscretion .In their court ship. It seems she once wept- so far as to- sit on his lap. AS Dfl TO v Myra McHenry oaroe to town the other day in a new green dress of the vintage of the" summer of .114 and a grass green coat that 'cut the atmosphere- with a sound like tearing: cloth, and she went straight to the prtntahop to teU the newspaper man -where the war had broken out and why. Myra, has solved the problem of eternal life. She Is as full of sip and aim aa aha was fifteen years ago when she and Carrie Nation used to wreck a Joint every day before breakfast. Now, the newspaper man doesn't like these grass green coats, but he was afraid to-express his disapproval in the presence of the Wichita princess. Myra, Is one of the original suffra gettes of the age.. She went to Jail for the cause when the Pankhursts were leading balls in Mayfalr and the Good Government club of Topeka was drinking pink tea and talking about hoop skirts. Myra's voice has been.' raised for war In the Solomon, the Ar kansas and the Kaw valleys ever since the Indians buried the tomahawk. And her voice is still for war. She wants the scalp of John Marshall, and Arthur Capper and Henry Allen and other well known Kansas gents too numerous to mention. -And by the way of diversion, and Just to show that no game is too small for her net, she scared the State Journal office boy Into five fits because she thought he had started to roll a cigarette. The boy had seen Myra climb, the stairs in that green dress and he crossed his fingers for good luck. Myra mistook the action for the circular motion of a cigarette machine, and she went after the boy, holding up the Jail and the wrath of the righteous, as his certain punishment. Myra then spread out her green coat on the newspaper man's desk and pro ceeded to tell about the burning bush and why the water ran from the rock and how many spears Jasbobeam threw at the 'Philistines. She 'pro pounded the seven principles of suf frage and dwelt upon the weaknesses of the five foolish virgins. She re gretted the peacefulness of the times In sunny Kansas and seemed to sigh for the old days of cracking mirrors and falling bottles and fleeing bar keeps. Myra said she hadn't been arrested for a long time and she told the newspa per man about how the Wichita police men -now feed' from her hand. She wanted to go somewhere east of Suez, she sald, where there Would be something doing in the good old summer -umi. She had a -call, she was sure., she had a, call, and she felt m form to break the rec ord set by Peter the Hermit. She chided the newspaper man -for his sins, she picked the winners at the coming election, she read John Mar shall's title clear to 'some, other place than the skies, and then she gathered up that grass green coat and started for Kansas City to lead the-suffrage pa rade being held there,; today. She dropped a tear of regret as she left the office because she had hot time to get to Washington for the. big doings alonjt the. suffrage line, font she calculated that business would .'pick up in Kansas City soon. The office boy crawled out from be hind a d-jsk and watered Myra's exit. Tm' 'sHire glaa 'hait woman has gone," said the -boy. 8he's a hum ming bird with the stinger of a wasp." And the newspaper man agreed- with his office boy. C. THE EST GASOLK.'E. Best Results From Uncle Sam's Fa vorite IHjr White."

OFF FOR NIAGARA. (Continued From 'Page One.) be preparedness against any possibility Of sudden attack, by federals, and readiness for a quick movement on Mexico City should the Huerta regime crumble and mob rule threaten. Reply Goes to Huerta 1 The South American envoys trans mitted to Huerta today the reply of the American government to his pro test that the United States had broken the truce, by landing additional troops at Vera Cruz. Secretary Bryan de clared that no aggressive steps had been taken by the United States forces and that nothing had been done to violate the armistice. Thethree me diators took the view that Huerta could be convinced that the United States had not violated it In spirit at least. While the diplomatic and military phases of the international drama compelled attention, observers turned to developments In the Huerta-Car-ranza strife. Constitutionalists ex pressed confidence that their troops would drive the federals out of Tam plco In the next three or four days. That development. It was hoped in some quarters, would relieve tension over the menace to foreign property, In the Tampico oil district. Reports that San Luis Potosi had been taken by rebels were not credited by .Car ranza's Juarez agents. They ex pressed belief that their forces were not yet ready for a decisive attack on that southern gateway to Huerta's capital. "i Will See Her Bum First. American and foreign refugees ar riving at Vera Cruz from the interior, stated that all was quiet in Mexico City, where Huerta had asserted he Would see his capital in ashes before be would quit. The refugees praised Mexican officers for their conduct and evident anxiety to see that the United States citizens were courteously treat ed. Reports reached San Diego, Cal.-, that two Americans had been killed and two wounded at a mine near Guadalajara. Details were not given. Many inquiries as to the possibility Of employing state militia during the Mexican crisis were received in. Wash ington today. They were inspired by questions sent to governors of the states asking about the condition of the national guard. Indications today were that the militiamen would be used for patrol duty if it became nec essary ot call them out. They would relieve regular troops now on duty along the border, making them avail able for field duty. The flurry caused by the report that two steamers bearing arms and am munition for Huerta were on their way to Puerto Mexico, was quieted by the announcement that no action would be taken by the Washington govern ment to prevent discharge of the. cargoes. ;A cablegram from Rear Admiral Badger early today stated that one of the ships, the Kronprinzessin Cecille had arrived at Puerto Mexico, Friday. Whether she had unloaded her cargo was not stated. While It was sug gested that the United States might attempt to have the German govern ment hold up the shipment, yet no uch move had been made today. The cruiser Montana, bearing the American victims of the occupation of Vera Cruz, was reported off the Virginia capes today, where Secretary Daniels, on the presidential yacht Mayflower, awaited her. They will proceed to New York, where, at the Brooklyn navy yard on Monday, Presi dent Wilson will express the tribute of the Ration to the marines and blue Jackets who fell before snipers' bul lets. HE SEES HIS ERROR. Senator Thornton Will Vote for Repeal of Tolls Exemption. Washington. May 9. Convinced that his position, both on the legal and oh the economic side of the Panama tolls question, in 1912, was wrong. Senator Thornton, of Louisiana, today told the senate he would now vote to repeal the law he then voted to enact. Senator Thornton said the position taken by the president, in a personal letter to him, and the message to con gress in which the president said the existence of the exemption law em barrassed him in the foreign relations of the United States caused him to vote for repeal. The statement of former Ambassa dor Choate and others who participat ed in the negotiating of the Hay Fauncefote treaty had convinced him that the United States did not have the right to discriminate in favor of its Ships he said. r..i,it On the economic phase of the con troversy Senator Thornton said "that the report of the house committee on merchant marines had convinced him that the free tolls Inured to the ben efit solely of the coastwise shipping monopoly, that fixed rates by agree ment, beyond the reach of American law. He said the shipping trust was net in need of a subsidy, such as the exemption. v 7 t.'.OORE HOT OUSTED. Brown County Sheriff Holds Office Dismiss Deputy's Case. "Hiawatha. Kan.. May 9.

Washington, May 9. General Fun ston today, from Vera Cruz, confirm ed unofficial reports that Private Parks, supposed to be insane, had been captured by Mexican federals, into whose lines, he -rode, with two horses belonging to Lieut. Col. Elmore F. Taggart whom he served as orderly. General Funston did not report that Parks had been executed, but men tioned the execution of an unidenti fied American civilian. City Officials Leave Mazatlan. On Board U. S. S. California, Ma zatlan, Mexico, May 8. (By .wireless to San Diego, May 9.) The fall of Mazatlan seems to be imminent. The city officials embarked last night on the federal gunboat Guerrero and. the steamer L'mantour, both of which are ready to sail for Salina Cruz. Sllliman Is Safe. Washington, May 9. American Vice Consul Sllliman reported imprls- oned by Mexican federals at Saltillo is safe and well, according to assurance made to the French legation in Mex ico City by the Mexican war minister transmitted to the state department today. i The information was conveyed to Secretary Pryan by Ambassador Jus serand or rT&nce. M. Jusserand said Huerta's minister of war informed the French charge in Mexico City, that the American consulate at Saltillo was guarded by federal forces and that neither Mr. Sllliman, other members of the consulate, nor other Americans were under arrest. Ready at a Moment's Notice. Washington, May 9. Secretary of War Garrison reasserted today that as yet no additional troops had been ordered to Mexico. When asked whether orders had been issued for the fourth and sixth brigades, at Tex as City to make ready to embark, he replied: "They're supposed to be ready to embark at a moment's notice." No Cause for Worry. Washington, May 9. Officials here today appeared to view with little con cern the reports that the German ships, the Kron Prinzessin Cecilie and Bavaria, have consignments of arms for General Huerta; that the former already has reached Puerto Mexico and the latter is en route for the same port. The German ambassador, Mr. Von Bernstorff, said today, that no repre sentations had been made to him by state department officials and that -e had done nothing with relation to lani ing of German ships in the Mexican port, except to aid in an effort to have traffic resumed on the Tehauntepec railroad, which has' a terminus at Puerto Mexico. Mr. Von Bernstoff said that he had no knowledge of the nature of the car goes carried by the two ships. The only way' for this government to in-, terf ere with the delivery of the cargoes, he said, would be for the United States to seize the custom house at Puerto Mexico. Secretary of War Garrison declared the war department had no Jurisdic-i tion, to deal with the munitions of war that might be consigned to General Huerta, aboard German ships, bound for any port, but Vera Cruz. "Should the ships land their cargoes at Vera Cruz I could tell just what to do," said Garrison. Secretary Bryan called at the White House early in the day before the pres ident had reached the executive of fices. He left without seeing the pres ident and would not discuss the reports about the German merchant vessels In Mexican waters. Returning to his of fice. Secretary Bryan found waiting for him, the Spanish ambassador, Mr. Rlano, who has charge of the interests of the Huerta government in the Unit ed States. At the navy department announce ment was made that the- monitor Ozark had been ordered to join Ad miral Mayo's fleet at Tampico. The Ozark has light draft and two 12 inch guns and is capable of navigating the Panuco river. She is now en route to Key West, and should reach Admiral Mayo within four or five days. VAIIT 25,000 MEN. That Is Can of Kansas Harvest Fields for 114. In 24 counties hj Kansas, 25,000 men will be needed to harvest the 1914 wheat crop if conditions remain unchanged during the next thirty days. That is the information re ceived today by Z. G. Hopkins, state free employment agent, who. believes that from 35,000 to 40,000 men, may be needed to care for the Kansas wheat crop this year. The news tbday from the' ,24 coun ties is the first accurate ''estimate on the number of harvest hands needed in the wheat counties of "the state. Some of the. larger wheat counties are not Included in the report received today in Hopkins' office and for that reason he estimates that with ..condi tions unchanged at harvest time, not less than 35,000 men will be needed in the western wheat fields. The report received today does not include the demand for harvest hands in Stafford, Rice, Pawnee and- a number of other heavy wheat producing counties. Within the next two weeks it is probable that the free employment bureau will- receive accurate informa tion from every section of. the state regarding the demand for harvest hands. At present information fmm the various counties is being secured and later a report will- be issued con cerning tne aemand for help in each section of the wheat belt. DEATHS O FUERILS.

Mrs. Post and the nurse said they did not know how Mr. Post had procured the rifle. Its presence, in the room was taken by them to indicate that he had planned his death ..for some time. No inquest was expected and mem bers of the family said they probably would take the body of Mr. Post to Battle -Creek, Mich., tonight. His Recent Illnefia. Chicago, May 9. Two months ago Mr. Post was hurried across half the continent to Rochester, Minn., for treatment for an attack, of appendicitis which was believed to threaten his life. The operation which was per formed March 10 was considered suc cessful and he departed for his western1 home apparently cured. The illness from which Mr. Post suffered was first manifest last De cember. At first it waa considered a recurrence of a stomach trouble from which he formerly suffered.' The trip from Santa Barbara, the winter home of Mr. Post, to the hospital at Roch ester, Minn., was made with all the speed possible. As an extra precau tion against delay the special train which carried the Invalid was follow ed over the different roads, by an ex tra engine prepared to take up the trip should accident interfere with the train. The arrival at Rochester March 6 was three and a half hours ahead "of time. A 'crowd at the station ham pered the removal of the patient to the hospital and he was examined -by specialists in the car before being taken to the hospital, where the 'operation- was performed four days later.

Sketch ofHis Life. Battle Creek, May, 9. Charles W. Post was one of the founders of the socalled health food- industry. His business here, the manufacturing of breakfast 'foods, represented millions of dollars. Mr. Post was born in Springfield, 111.. ,in 1854. He engaged in the hardware and other lines of business there until 1884. when his jiealth broke down. He traveled ex tensively Ml seaxen ox uwnwni lor some time and arrived here in 1891. His search, for health was responsible, it is said, for his investigation .into the health food subject, and when' his health had been regained he turned all of his attention to that line of en deavor. Kmoloving thousands -of workmen. Mr. Post took an active part in local civic affairs. In 1908 he was- made president of the National Citlsens' In dustrial Association of America and for several years he attracted wide at tention because of his attacks on la bor unions.

The first severe shock -was felt at seven o'clock last evening, but the fact that .this had caused serious destruction was not known in Catania for some time, -as railroad and telegraphic communica tion was Interrupted. The extent of the catastrophe was not realized until this morning when terror stricken groups of refugees began streaming into town. The center of the disturbance was at the village of Linera. Here the proportion of dead and injured was very heavy. The victims were mostly women and children. The property loss at Linera was also extremely heavy. The work of rescue was rendered diffi cult by the great accumulation of debris. The vicinity of Catania, the scene of last night's earthquake, probably has suffered more than any other section in the world from volcanic eruptions and earthquake. Catania Itself is built on a bed of lava at .the foot of the volcano of Etna and most of its streets are paved with lava,' Catania has a population of 140,000 and is the largest city in Sicily. It lies to the south of Messina, on the east coast. Ever since its foundation. in B. C. 729, it has been Visited fre quently by earthquakes. In 121 A. D. It was parti cal ly destroyed by an-erup tion of Mount Etna. In 1169 it suffered severely from an earthquake.. In 1669. during an erup tion of Etna, a great stream ot lava. flowed toward Catania, but in the nick of ..time, its course was diverted and the town was saved. In 1693, when the whole of the island of Sicily: Was affected by an earthquake, Catania was destroyed. In the earthquake 'and -tidal wave at Messina and Calabria on .Dec. 8, 1908, official figures gave the. number of deaths as 77,288, but it was unof ficially estimated that from 150,000 to 200,000 people lost their lives. The damage to public and -private prop erty amounted to about a. billion dol lars. The.

The State Journal Page or Foreign News by Telegraph and Picture STUDY IN FRANCE Ten American Army Officers Are Learning War Game As Flayed by One of the Big European Nations. Parts. Mav 9. The movement of American troops to Mexico brings to notice the fact that ten United States army officers, representing all branches of the service are on duty In France for Instruction in French military training. They are here by permission of the French government, riven upon request of the United States and are welcomed in the friendliest spirit. In appears to be the intention of the war department at Washington to have six officers continuously on service in France so that French ex perience and French military science may from year to year be available lor the United States army. Occa sionally an English officer or officers from the Balkan and other smaller states have had permission to serve with one or another of the French regiments but it would seem that no foreign army, not even the Russian, has during this generation had such opportunities to know the French mil itary system as trie Americans now have.

The Ulster volunteers, 110,000 strong, under Sir Ed ward Carson, are ready to plunge Ire land into a bloody war. With a fund of over (5,000,000 at their disposal, the rebellious Ulsterites have been train ing their army for weeks, and now have a powerful, well equipped, well drilled force. Decentralization has been the sys tem of organization of the Ulster vol unteers. Each county forms a sep arate unit. There are 65 battalions, of which 18 are in Belfast. The volun teers have 400 motorcars, 200 motor cycles and a complete system of com munication by flags, lamps and helio graphs. Eighty thousand rifles, ac cording to Colonel Cacourt, have been distributed in parcels, each containing Ave. to selected men so that wholesale seizure of the weapons would be im possible.

Captain Morton Hen ry of the American quartermaster's division and Lieutenant E. 8. Greble and Honeycutt of the artillery have Just arrived to replace three other American officers, and three others are expected. The three latter do not get into the French service until Oc tober. In the meantime they are re quired to live in French families and perfectt their knowledge of French. Captain Parker in the war college, the exclusive school of higher strat egy, has probably the rarest oppor tunity and one not shared by any other foreign officer. Eighty French officers are admitted annually out of from 400 to 500 applicants who take the severe competitive examination. Tears of study are devoted by the French officer in preparation for this examination because all selections for the general staff are made from graduates of the war college and no French officer need expect a high command unless he has gone suc cessfully through this training in the deeper problems of strategy. An arm-chair has been placed for Captain Parker apart from the other officers and nearest the lecturer's platform so that the American guest may have a better chance than any one else to follow the exposition of a subject and see the diagrams. The work in the war college is severe and FOR WAR; OBSERVERS THINK PEACE IMPOSSIBLE would respond to a call for the mobi lization of the volunteers.

Nearly a hundred American, dele gates are expected to- attend the In ternational Congress of Chambers of Commerce, which meets In Paris June 8, and continues five days. Daniel P. Kingskey, George T Wilson, Samuel W. Fairchild, James Brown and Mac Dougail Hawkes will come from New York, while delegations equally large will probably come from twenty-five other cities, among them Boston, Bal timore, Atlanta, New Orleans, Phila delphia, Pittsburg, Louisville, Cincin nati, Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Omaha, Denver, Seattle Port land, Ore., and San Francisco. Edward A. Filene of Boston and the other American members of the per manent committee which has offices in Brussels are endeavoring to reorgan ize the International Association, of Chambers of Commerce so that it shall become a more vital body. The per manent committee, now has only the function' of carrying out the resolu tions passed by the biennial congresses. The American representation desires to have a committee which wilt take up and carry through new business as it arises during the intervals -between the biennial sessions of the congress. The committee would be authorized to take a referendum of the membership in the manner now done by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, organised in Washington in 1912. rest of the country Is clamoring for it. Ulster has a population of 1,400,000. About 3,000,000 people live in the other Irish provinces. Only six of the ten counties in Ulster oppose home rule, while sentiment is almost evenly di vided in the rebellious six. READY FOR CANAL Flood of Letters Pours in Front European Countries Asking for Rules Governing Navigation of the Big Ditch. Panama, May 9. Since announce ment that the Panama canal probably will be ready for through navigation by July, this year, many letters of in quiry regarding the conditions to be imposed have been coming to the canal authorities from all parts of the world. It is apparent that steamship companies of all the great maritime nations expect to make an almost im mediate use of the canal. The communications also Indicate that in virtually all cases the com panies contemplate a through service from European ports to those on the west coast of North, Central and South American countries. Among the in quiries are those regarding tolls, con ditions of navigation, pilotage in en tering the terminal ports and through the canal and the charges for this service, wharfage facilities at Balboa and Christobal. location ana equip ment of repair shops, coaling and provisioning facilities and a host of other items relating directly to the usage of the canal. Most of these questions are ad dressed to the governor of the Panama canal direct while others are sent to Washington and are forwarded to the Isthmus. It is planned to turn them over to the newly appointed superin tendent of transportation who will be instructed by the governor to supply the desired information. Steamship companies which already are repre sented on the Isthmus have sent their local representatives to the canal offi cials seeking similar information. It is apparent to the canal authori ties that as soon as the waterway shall have been thrown open much greater use of it will be made than has been anticipated. It has been stated that not more than 10,000,000 tons traffic could be expected for the first year the canal Is in operation. The letters of inquiry seem to make it plain to the authorities here that al ready a greater tonnage for the first year is indicated. Passenger-carrying lines are evinc ing considerable interest in the ques tion of passenger tolls through the canal. This subject seems not to have been settled to the satisfaction of the companies who desire to be Informed whether tolls will be charged at all. and, if so. at what rate. The letters indicate that most of the companies are preparing for a heavy passenger traffic through the canal next year at or about the time of the formal open ing and thence to the exposition at San Francisco. Schedules of charges aside from tolls for various services to be per formed by the Panama canal are in the course, of preparation and prob ably will be promulgated in an offi cial circular from the governor's of fice in the near future. With the arrival of Dr. Ramon Val dez, Panamanian minister to London, politics became active and there are indications that he will wage a heated campaign for the presidency of the re public to succeed President Porras, whose term expires in 1916. Dr. Val dez is known to be the candidate President Porras favors to succeed him, and through whom he hopes to continue the policies of his adminis tration. It is understood that Dr. Valdez, who now is councellor for the department of foreign affairs, was brought back to Panama to begin an early and aggressive campaign. At present political activities center about the coming election of 36 members of the national assembly which takes place in July. Interest,' however, is only lukewarm. The can didates of the Liberal party are un opposed, the Conservative party will not take any part in the contest. The latter maintain they are saving their strength for the presidential electron when they contemplate putting forth a strong candidate who can win the favor of the United States government officials on the isthmus. Dr. Valdez probably will be opposed in his own party for the presidential honor by Rodolfo Chiari, secretary of government and Justice in the Porras cabinet. A split in the ranks of the Liberals is indicated, but probably will not have serious consequences for the reason that the party is by far the larger of the two. Secretary Chiari, it is declared, has the support of Dr. Carlos A. Mendoza, a former president of the republic and one of the strong est political leaders in the country. Work on the Chiriqui railway, in the western part of the republic, has been started. Within a week after the ceremonies incident to the beginning of work at David and which were at tended by President Porras, supplies were being shipped by sea to Pedregal, the port from wnicn tne railway ex tends into the Interior. The line will nenetrate the most important agri cultural country of the republic and la exoected to Drove a great trade stimulant with the coffee country in the mountains north of David. 27,000,000 Trees in One Village. "Twenty-seven million trees of vari ous kinds are growing today in the nurseries of one small village in the state of New' York." said N. B. Gor- ham of Dansville, N. Y at the Shore ham. "Dansville Is a town devoted to nurseries. There are other cities in our state that are recognized as headquarters of some particular in-- dustry. For Instance, when collars, cuffs and shirts are spoken of they are always associated with Troy, and whenever one hears of a photographic outfit, he naturally thinks of Roches ter, which has a worldwide reputa tion as a center of optical goods and camera supplies. In the village of Dansville. there are 128 firms engaged In raising nursery stock. Last year 1913 there were no less than 13,000, 000 trees budded. "For some reason, which, perhaps, the scientists of the agricultural de partment might explain. Dansville is the only center of the nursery indus try in the United States, in which there has never been the slightest in dication of the San Jose scale, and we, of the village, are naturally proud of the fact that oar nurserymen have made a- nation-wide reputation for this and that they are able to supply nur sery stock. particularly apples. peaches, pears and plums, which thrive well in every state of tbe Union."

The greatest stumbling block in the path of democ racy and orderly self-government in Mexico is the vast horde of Indians who greatly predominate in numbers over the whites. The country bas over 15,000,000 people, and of these less than 3,000, 000 are whites. There are about 6,000,000 pure Indians and 6,000,000 more who are red men more or less crossed with the whites. President Wilson Insists upon a HE DR0PSJ1 HINT The Kaiser Thinks Swiss Uni forms Are Too Conspicuous. Sends the Government Batch of Specially Prepared Cloth. Geneva, Switzerland. May 9. The Emperor of Germany, who since his visit to the Swiss manoeuvers two years ago, has shown great interest in the Swiss army, believes that the pres ent somewhat dark uniform worn by the Swiss Alpine troops makes them too conspicuous against, a background of snow. He has therefore Just for warded through his minister at Berne a hundred square yards of a specially made blue gray cloth to the federal government. The gift has been accept ed with thanks and the cloth now is being converted into uniforms for the Alpine company, as an experiment. It is not said, however, that if the ex periment proves a success that the emperor will provide a larger stock to clothe ail the Swiss Alpine battal ions. The Catholic church, having condemned- immodest attire of women, has carried the war a step further. The archbishop of Besancon has "is sued a warning to parents, through all the abbes and cures in his diocese which touches the western Swiss fron tier, that in the future neither con firmation nor communion will be giv en to young girls who are dressed in the present extreme fashions, which in his opinion are indecent.

But no election, no matter how free or how fair, could begin to settle the country's problems, because the aver age Mexican does not know what is best for him. The Indians, who com prise the bulk of the voters, are lazy, ignorant, blood-thirsty and without a spark of patriotism. They do not want an orderly government. They would rather fight than work. Should the United States intervene in Mexico, the Indian problem would be the most difficult to settle. It would take generations to civilize not come to church decollete. If the present ridiculous fashion continues we shall be obliged to make examples by refusing to admit .to confirmation and the communion young girls dressed up in the images of the modes. The archbishop in his sermons re cently denounced the modern dresses and dances. A young man of distinguished ap pearance who calls himself Prince Karageorgevitch, and who has been supposed to be a son of the king of Servia, was arrested at Lugano re cently, accused of cheating at cards. He appears to have had many victims among rich American and English tourists at bridge and baccarat. The "prince" occupied magnificent apart ments and entertained generously. He usually lost when the stakes were small, but when they were high he won. Finally two women suspected him of cheating and informed the po lice. A detective who posed as a rich American from New York registered at one of the hotels and was presently introduced to the circle of the "prince." The usual thing happened. The stakes were high and the "prince" was win ning. After making sure that marked cards were being used the detective called in several agents of police, and took the "prince" and all his baggage to the police station. 'Not in the Book.

In Illi nois It rained excessively and the roads were almost impassable at times. The Missouri roads were only fair, but from Kansas City "to Topeka on the Golden Belt route, we naa an easy time of It." The travelers spent two days in To ripka. lMvln two' davs ajfo for Colo rado.

Take out your watch. Follow the uecon-i hand around the minute cycle. Every time it ticks off twenty-four seconds a new Ford car comes into being. The month of April was an other record-breaker at the Ford fac tory in Detroit. Thirty thousand, four hundred and two complete cars were built and shipped during the month, which had twenty-six working days. A little mental arithmetic shows that this means a daily production of about eleven hundred and seventy cars. It shows that approximately cne hundred and forty-six Fords were built each hour. It shows that almost twenty-four seconds elapsed between the time one complete car left the fac tory doors until another followed it. Of course these figures are based on an eight-hour working day. The assem bling department at the Ford factory work but one shift of eight hours. Other departments of the factory works but one shift of eight hours, order to keep the assembling depart ment going at top speed. The first seven months of the company's fiscal year have seen the production of more than one hundred forty-five thousand complete Model T's. Every succeed ing month since the first of the calen dar year has seen the Ford factory hand up a new production record. Auto and Pop-Pop Notes.

Snide said he calkflated the stone weighed 400 lbs if It weighed a ounce and yet he picked it right up, set it on his shoulder and lugged It 15 rods acrost the field without settin it down. 1 Then Lena Brown, who was present, said that was nothink, being as he had onct carried a stone whitch weighed nearly haff a ton for over a mile. Well, one word brung on another, until Snide and Lem got considerable het up as to who was the strongest and Jabe Ho mans spoke up and askt why they did dent settle it right there ft then by a test of main strength. Jabe said if they d both set down flat on the store floor facin each other with the soles of their boots together and take holt with their hands of a broom handle betwixt em, whichever one pulled tother one upon his feet was strongest Snide said he waa powerful dred, be ing as he had worked hard all day and Lem said he had a crick in his back and would prefer to put off the pullin contest to some fuchure time, but the rest of the fellers present jeered em and egged am on until they both got riled up and consented to pull. Hen Weathersby, prop of the store, got out a new broom with a good strong handle to pull on, and than Snide and Lam jerked off their coats, spit on their hands and set down on the floor glarin at each other like a cupple of old tom cats. Then they tuk holt of the broom, each with both hands, and Snide says, "Wall, be you ready? "Yes," snaps back Lem, "I be jest ex ready er you be!" "All right" says Snide, "then look out becuz I be agoin tew pull the daylights outen ve ding-bust ye!" "Wait a minnit!" hollers Lem, "1 seem to be settin on somethin." Lem then got up and dis cuwerd that he had been settin on his jack-knife whitch he alius carries in his hip pocket Lem put the .knife into a other pocket then the two set down agin and tuk holts as before. It was agreed that Jabe Homans should be the judge as to whitch was the strongest and that they should begin to pull when Jabe hollerd.Goitr Well, when all was ready Jabe hol lerd, "Go it and Snide and Lem begin to pull aginst each other fit to bust their selts. Their eyes bugged out like beetles' eyes and they granted and groaned and panted like everythink. All to onct there was a tearin sound and Lem hollers, "Wait a minnit I've tore my pants or somethink Then Lem pants, "So be it then you dog-blame weaklinF And then they pulled hardern ever. It was nip and tuk betwixt em. Fust Lem would bev Snide pulled a foot up off en the floor, then Snide would hev Lem vice versy. All to onct when Snide had palled Lem praps two feet offen the floor, the broom stick broke t Lem set back down on the floor with a turrible dull sikkenmg thud, whitch shuk the whole store and -rattled the glass ware on the shelf s. As for Snide, he went head over heels backards, turn ing clean over and jatnuam one foot through the show case and renching his neck considerable. Lem jumpt to his feet and shuk his fist in Snide's fase. "Wot made you break thet broomstick you done it a purpose!" hollers Lem. "I didnt with er, says Snide, "you was jest ez much to blame ez I wuz!" Snide and Lem stood there gaspm for breth and callin each other all the they could think of. Finally Hen speaks up and says, "Yon fellersll haft to go outside ef yon want to fite, but before yon go youll settle for b re akin my show case and fer breakin a brand new broom 1" Hen was maddern a wet Hen. Snide and Lem said they woa1dntpay tor the broom or show case. Then Hen told em alright, he'd take it outen their skins by showin em that he was stronsr- ern both of em together and to perpare fer a dog-coned good lickin I. Then Snide and Lem divided the cost of the broom whilst Snide paid for breakin the show case hisself. Snide and Lem both wanted to know of Jabe who won, and when Jabe told em it waa a tie they both started off home in deep disgust Sinst this hap pened Snide and Lem aim spoke to each other and we persoom there will be bad blood betwixt em for some time to Rags!

City's Death Rate, Diseases, Causes, Etc. Five details concerning life, death and disease most vital topics! are brought out in the first installment today of the public health survey made in Topeka last summer by Franz Schneider, jr., sanitarian A.of. the de partment of surveys and exhibits of the Itussell Sage foundation. In his preliminary offering Mr. Schneider deals with the death rate, the birth rate, the ward difference, the causes of death and preventable deaths. Summing up the situation as it real ly exists in Topeka, the large number of hospitals here caring for out of town patients swells the death rate beyond that of the normal population in the state. The birth rate isn't what it ought to be, Mr. Schneider thinks, although he offers no solution for the abandonment of the anti-Roosevelt policy. In discussing. preventable dis eases tne social survey expen in forms Topeka that a more rigid pub lic health program will tend to solve this problem. 1 In other words, if To peka is able to scrub every street and alley, honeycomb the. town with sew ers, teach every citizen of every social distinction to use soap and gargle with salt water and absolutely rid the town of all matter of dirt and loophole of disease then the prevention of death is complete. In taking up the first subject, the death rate, Mr. Schneider says in part "To sum up the matter, Topeka has a high crude death rate, due in con siderable degree to the deaths of non residents. F.liminating these her rate compares favorably with that of the country as a whole, but unfavorably with that of the state of Kansas. It would appear that Topeka suffers from some of the health handicaps in cidental to city life." He says of the birth rate, in part: "This birth rate is not large, and the rate of increase is but a small part of that (30 p"er 1,000) actually main tained throughout the decade 1900 1910. By far the most important source of the city's growth is evident ly Immigration from outside." The "ward difference" feature Is explained at length. One paragraph relates: "These ward birth and death rate differences, while not accurate in dications of actual degrees of health fulness, are large enough to be of some real significance.; and reinforce the suggestion of our analysis of the general death rate, i. e. the neces sity for careful scrutiny of existing sanitary conditions. In "Causes of Death" he says: "The most striking feature is, of course, the almost invariable excess of mortality among the negroes, and the particular disproportion with re THE GERM THAT CAUSES DANDRUFF AND LOSS OF HAIR IS DESTROYED By Using Newbro's Herpickle The dandruff germ is a busy little microbe constantly at work and al ways doing the same thing. Appar ently with fiendish intelligence It bur rows down into the hair follicles, de stroys the hair life and finally crowds out the hair, causing baldness. There are two sure ways of stop ping the harmful career of this invis ible microbic growth. One is to wait until the germ has Induced incurable baldness, after which the atropied hair follicle offers no sustenance to the germ; the other is to USE NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE. Dandruff cannot exist where New bro's Herpiclde is used intelligently. Br destroying the dandruff and check irue further accumulations of scarf 1 rl ft -v em fr if 0O I) 0 good. Mr. Dewey, one of our bright young men who attended school during the past winter, has recently gone Into business for himself, that of the gro cery business. He is located at 620 West Sixth street.

Another good railroad position at Goodland, Kan., was filled recently by Mr. Reed. The Darby Grain Co. secured the spect to tuberculosis. The negro's ex perience in Topeka is but an illustra tion of a general principle his rela tive inability to cope with the health hazards of our city life. His physi cal Inheritance is such as offers the least resistance to the white man's city-life diseases, and his social and economic position is such that he lacks most of the white man's artifi cial defenses. With their general death rate nearly twice that of the white inhabitants, it is evident that Topeka needs make special provision for public health work among her five thousand negroes." In summing up conditions, the ex pert writes: "In our study of Topeka's vital sta tistics we have seen that her death rate, while comparing, favorably with that of the country at large is, after applying the proper corrections. stiQ 20 per cent in excess of that of the state of Kansas; that her birth rate is in general somewhat low, and over a tenth lower than the state's; that her people suffer real losses from pre-' ventable diseases and death, and that these diseases are especially prevalent in certain parts of the city. The sug gestion is clear that there Is need for a careful scrutiny of existing sani tary conditions, and of the adminis trative measures of control. Topeka, in short, has, like other cities, a pub lic health problem; while not alarm ingly large, it is entirely definite and real. That it is of goodly proportion, witness the fact that 15 and possibly Jl per cent of the deaths in the city are from preventable diseases."

DRINK BILL GROWS Englishmen Spent $25,000,000 More Last Year Than the Tear Before for In. toxlcating Beyerages. London, May 9. The drink bill of the United Kingdom for the past year shows an increase of twenty-five mil lion dollars. The United Kingdom Alliance, whose mission is to decrease the consumption Of alcoholic. liquors, makes this report, and suggests that the Increase Is probably due to unpre cedented prosperity, for 'the kingdom had never experienced a greater wage bill. The encouraging feature, accord ing to the alliance, is a decrease shown in the per capita consumption, which attained its maximum during similar trade revivals in 1874 and 1899. A discouraging feature is the in crease in the consumption of spirits, which leads with an Increase of 1, 267,000 gallons. Beer Is second with 1, 002.000 gallons and wine third with 131.000 gallons. The share of each in dividual in the United Kingdom in the drink bill, for 1913, was $18 while the average family of five persons was $90. Since these figures do not allow for the boys and girls under 15 years of age and the total abstainers, it may be as sumed that among the drinkers the av erage per capita expense for drinks is much higher than stated. During 1911, 2,802 men and 2.074 women were certified to have Hied in England and Wales alone as the re sult of alcoholism. This number docs not include those whose deaths have been accelerated by the use of ale hoi. Dr. W. C. Sullivan is quoted in the report as making the estimate that twenty per cent of the' suicides in the United Kingdom are due to the use of alcoholic stimulants. A startling feature of the Infant mortality figures furnished by the Al liance is the fact that in 1912, 1,178 babies under one year of age were suffocated while sleeping with their parents or other elders, and the or ganization claims that most of thess cases can be laid at the door of alco holic indulgence. The organization also points out the effect of alcohol on the physique of the race, on crime and on divorce. Without anaesthesia or modern in struments, native surgeons among the Bedouins of the Algerian hinterland have become so skilful that they do not hesitate to undertake operations as delicate as trepanning. This re port is brought by H. Hylton-Simpson, who, accompanied by his wife, has just returned from a scientific expe dition among these almost unknown nomadic tribes of the desert. The ex plorer and his wife lived among the natives and established the closest re lations with the ruling sheiks of re mote villages. They found that surgery had g-own to be a really skilled profession. Hylton-Simpson was lucky enough to come into contact with a friendly Arabian physician who arranged a meeting for him with eight of the tri bal surgeons. From them he col lected a mass of interesting informa tion and a valuable collection of na tive surgical instruments. Their saws. lancets and probes are of the crudest design, but prove highly effective in the hands of their native operators. The only training these native sur geons have is Instruction from their fathers. Very few ef them are able to read or write. -Trepanning' operations are probably more common in this country than any where else in world because of the frequency with which the natives resort to stone throwing in a fight. The use of an anaesthetic is unknown and pain is regarded with such contempt that the people seem impervious to it. Hylton-Simpson saw one case in which a boy was operated on for fifteen days for the removal of a small piece of skulL The operation was successful and the patient recovered. Besides surgery the natives claim to have dis covered two hundred cures for various diseases A fascinating story, dealing with the facts of the flight of American refu friend of the "Gringos." This circular a. printed circuia-r cvuveu unuj uy a the steamship iusperanza, lying in was arranged by the refugees aboard the steamship "Esperanza" lying in Quarantine at Galveston harbor and criticizes severely the action of the American naval authorities. in ordering the battleships out of Tamplco harbor when the lives of countrymen were at stake. The circular was submitted to news papers in Galveston which refused to print the story as told by the refugees, according to the letter written to To peka. The statement tells the entire story of the nignt ana is reproduced herewith: American Protection In Mexico. -"During the battle between federals and rebels, which raged in the suburbs of Tampico from April 6 to U, during which much American property was destroyed and Americans driven front their homes and occupations, bitter feeling on the part of the Mexicans to ward Americans, whom they curiously blame for all of Mexico's troubles dur ing the past three years, became so in tense after the battle that many Amer icans with all kinds of business in the surrounding country considered it un safe to move beyond the outskirts of Tampico and could only do so on spe cial passes issued by Governor Zara gosa. which allowed them to pass the three federal gunboats anchored in the Faunce river, as most of the traffic for one hundred miles in the vicinity of Tampico is handled on rivers. The railroads have been abandoned for months. "This bitterness in Tampico became general and nearly to the extent of viciousness, the Americans keeping as closely as possible to their homes and places of business with self-reliance and confidence In themselves and that of their flag to protect their lives and property wherever they might be. Left Americans Behind. 'At nearly the height of this dan gerous crisis and through somebody's stupidity the flagship Dolphin, cruiser Chester and gunboat Des Moines in the harbor and already stripped for ac tion, raised anchor at 9 a. m., April 21, and sailed tranquilly out to sea.' with drawing the last vestige of American protection In Tampico, and with them went from the breasts of 2,000 Ameri cans, men, women and children who witnessed it, the last hope, admiration and pride In their American citizenship and the American flag. The removal of these vessels and this protection at this crisis of extreme danger and exposure to the mercy of a population who have only a thin crust of civilization, little reason and no morals, was little short of an ad ministrative and naval crime. On the Americans who were left behind It had the effect of a funeral procession, which might be followed by many others be fore the day was done. "No explanation for the withdrawal of the fleet was offered, none as to whether it would ever return. It was still lying tranquilly at anchor on high seas on April 24, apparently waiting for the fragile Mexican gunboats to come out. "While Americans, at abcut 4:00 p. m., April 21, were anxiously discuss ing the misfortune caused by the re moval of the fleet and now that every man must be the protector of his own life and that of his family, his little interests having been already aban doned, the news of the battle of Vera Cruz reached Tampico. Howling Mobs. "Brown, howling mobs, armed with clubs, stones and pistols, immediately congregated all over the city, parading the streets and bowling lor. gringo- blood. "To a Mexican everything with a white face is a hated 'gringo.' "Americans Immediately rushed to their homes or places of imaginary safety. Englishmen and Germans ep pealed to their consuls and were hur ried aboard their cruisers and mer chant ships near the custom house. "There was but one small American ship In the harbor, a private yacht, which did not dare to display her American flag. "The American consul. Miller. working like a Trojan, with a serious and almost hopeless situation to pre serve the lives of his countrymen, was in consternation. Hundreds of Amer icans could not reach him through the mobs to ascertain his plans for their protection, if he had any. "Poor Miller, tne unnea states con sul, deserted by the American fleet. like the rest tert Tampico on a Jiritisn ship, under the BritisTi flag, with the last of the American refugees. Amer ican women were refused asylum on British ships until British women were all aboard. "Some 150 Americans, men, women and children, assembled at the South ern and Imperial hotels, locked them selves in, and made the best hurried preparations they could to sell their lives as dearly as possible."

The flag remained and -was still float ing there when the imprisoned refu gees finally left the hotel at midnight. "The American administration, not content with subjecting 2,000 of their citizens and countrymen to thce dan gers and insults, must force them to drink the cup to Its dregs, to assassi nate the last vestige of pride for their citizenship and flag by permitting, if they knew It at all, the spectacle of two German officers from the German cruiser, "Dresden coming ashore and notifying the Mexican authorities that if the mobs did not disperse im mediately German marines would dis perse them, and rescuing the forti fied American Inmates of the South ern and Imperial hotels, and taking them at midnight In a drenching rain storm aboard the German cruiser, 'Dresden,' where they finally arrived in safety with the exception of a few cut heads and bruises, thankful to God and the German officers that it was nothing worse.

IS TOB PAIL? gCXTTJgATUIAg ITTZZIZZ HAST ins. Worldly Wise for FnwoHdly Ends. The International -5ho VT m tor May 1 la Th Unlwt Steward" Luke X;l-1. BT WILLIAM 1SU I' "Aunty, you are so charitable that I think you would find oodmori to say about old Satan himself, one remarked. i "Well." was the reply, "there la his persistence for one thlng." Out of evil good may be learned.- This pres ent world Is full of lofty "H.fKff"0"8 and admonitions to the seintllest per sons, even though tne waj. world may not be approved. wig business" certainly has much to teach the church and the laboring: man, thnnrh. broadly sneaking, it may be at enmity with both. Good ways may be learned from a bad man. 80 Jesus cited the parable of the unjust steward, not to commend the steward, but to point out that the children of ifarknees are sometimes wiser than the children of light. Because we use the murderer's case to teach a lesson is no endorsement of the murderer. Parables may .not be compelled to run on all fours. Trying! to find some homtletlcal meaning: In every detail of our lord's parables ha done endless harm to Christian teaching-. "A para ble, it has been said, is a narrative, fictitious, but agreeable to the laws and usages of human life, by whlcn either the duties of men or the things of God, particularly: the nature and history of God's kingdom, are figura tively portrayed. A parable is to be distinguished from a fable. The for mer Is probable and might be true, the latter introduces imposslbirltiea, such as trees talking; the former teaches Important spiritual iruuin, uu latter does not advance beyond home ly lessons of worldly prudence. The parable is also to be distinguished from an allegory. The parable is a story complete in Itself, quite apart from its Interpretation, whereas an allegory has no meaning at all apart from its interpretation. The parable 1 m ttu mm-A. frnm the mvth. in BUM which allegory and fact are so mixed that the allegory la taken for fact. No parables occur in the fourth gospel; their place is taken by allegories, of which the .most complete are those of the fold, the good shepherd and the vine and the branches. branches." Commonly It Is the unfit who are the unfalthf uk This steward found himself discharged from his position, and in a panic because "I have not strength to dig: to beg I am ashamed." Two business men were talking to gether about their work. "My great est difficulty," said the first, "Is to find a good assistant. I can get clerks by the drove; but to find a man who will stand in my stead, who will make my Interests his interests, and upon whom I can depend absolutely, is the hardest problem In an my business." Busl ines men are dependent upon the trustworthiness of their helpers, just as was the rich man in the parable. So is every one of us: so is God. Even the great work of the Lord Almighty is hindered by the unfaithfulness of his stewards. To be a faithful stew ard of God is to gain highest success. A burglar breaks into a house and steals, but the news of his crime does not distress us as does the news of an absconding cashier or of a defaulting trustee. The latter offenses are par ticularly grave because they are vio lations of trust. The wickedness of a steward in whom all confidence has been placed is greater wickedness than pan kddui a. hi lsiii&u a uuiiik wrvugi he violates God's trust In him. An offending Christian is a faithless stew ard. There Is a double offense when ever a Christian sins. One of the pathetic incidents that most business men meet is the case of the man or woman who wants work or wages and has no special ability. These are often persons who have sud denly fallen from wealth to poverty. The steward was in Just this fix; if he got out of his easy position what could he do? He felt almost forced into further wickedness, because he had, thfkliorht ha tiarf nn tm h. sources. Thousands of criminals are made In the same way, for- they have not pluck and principle enough, to suf fer rather than to do wrong. Self reliance is promoted by self-resourcefulness. Using the Present for the Future. A shady transaction by the steward of the story he reduced the obliga tions of every one of his master's debtors. In order to win their friend ship, although he also thereby quickly collected the debts for his employer Is made the point of the parable. Sud denly Jarred into prudence, .the 'stew ard belatedly began, to take thought for the future. He. used bis present opportunity for subsequent advantage. His was foresight, even though at the eleventh hour. He realised 4 hat the greatest use of today Is to make to morrows out of it- The larger part of life is preparation. That same qualify of sagacity is what the Teacher sought for his hear ers. Most of us are opportunists. We live a day at a time. In hapyy-go-lucky fashion, more or less like the negro of the story, who, asked If he wanted to earn a -quarter replied. "Why boss. I'se got a quarter," and went whistling oik his way. When hard times befall, how. tew firms weather the storm. A Ion look ah Mil. life of real purpose. building -for me xuiure uus was tne quality which Jesus commended in the unjust stew ard. In statesmanship, religion, busi ness ana pleasure, it is far-slghtednea that prevails. i The Master calls maronw or mon ey, "means" (R. V.)y TMi i the point of his teaching here Do net make none an end. but s means TW. mmir of rich men as "man of means." If I their weaitn is truly only "means to large service and usefulness. It' is praiseworthy. This Is the only ground on which a Christian can Justify him self In seeking money, for money In raeir is a low trj. But it is pos sible to make a hi, J use of low things: the Master did tbiawnen he employed money In his parable. Mammon may be employed but- never served.' We may not serve God and mam mon, but we may serve God with mammon. The symbols-and usi and methods of this present world may ail be employed and sanctified la the highest servile. Because he. Is cnnsuan, one .u pe a better worker av better .V-iBlnsss man,' ''a, bet ter friend, then one" wh is not.' "He that to faithful In a very little u nuunu u mucti; and be that Is unrighteous in a very little la un righteous also in much- It therefore ye have not been faithful In the un righteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true richest And It ye have not been faithful y In that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the. one. and love the other: or else he will hold to one. and de spise the other. Te cannot serve God and mammon.' v The Sacredness of Good Health. Terse Comments for May 1. "Health Hints for Better Living." 1 Cor. 6:19. 20. BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Our own health and happiness, right here and now, are one of the ends of creation. One of the. goals of the ages is that we who now live should be worthily alive. Every one of us is more than a link in the long chain of humanity; more than a. means to an end in the far-off future; he is a triumph of the past and of; the present. .Not merely our -work an our influence are the objects of our existence, but our actual life itself. To be well, to be happy, to. rejoice in existence for that we were- -born. The old Puritans and ascetics were not wise when they despised the body. That conception of religion was dls-: torted: a swing of the pendulum too far to one side. Without bodies, souls are of no earthly use. When, these mortal temples of our eternal- spirits are strong and symmetrical and beau-i tiful they honor the Builder who pro vided them, as the supreme expres sion of His handicraft, for Hie own tenancy. j To be heedless of health la one form of irreverence. Health is a goal of life, but not the chief goal, and. like pleasure. It Is oftenest attained by indirection. Somebody has wittily said that "The stomach, can stand anything, except being thought about." That is true. In a sense, of the whole body. The persons who are forever solicitous about their health grow to be insuf ferable hypochondriacs. Here is one man who boasts of his perfect diges tion but who is a perfect bore and crank. He has made a religion of his digestion, and he is harder to get along with than a dozen dyspeptics. Self-consciousness is as fatal to health as it is to beauty: Indeed the physi cians would call it a symptom of dis ease. Persons In good health do not think about their bodies. The sim plest, most natural and most effective way of promoting good health Is by observing, the fundamental laws of health. A great and engrossing Interest In life does more for health than all the doctors. In living, as In art, simplicity is strength. The quiet lives, which sub sist on plain food and in regular hab its, thrive best. The more compli cated one's scale of living, the more endangered his .physical well-being. A good conscience Is the best physi cian. Joy, temperance and repose, Slam the door on the doctor's nose. Longfellow. Four factors control health fnnA. air. sleen. ttcrrim.

What Is the meaning of 1 John 6:7 ."There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost?" CW. N.) Answer. The passage which you quota Is the only statement to be found In the Scriptures which -seams In- the, slightest degree to even imply the doctrine of a trinity of Gods; and that passage Is now admitted bv all scholars to be spurious. It is therefore omitted from the Revised Version of the New Testament, although the translators of that Revised Version, so far as we are aware, were every one of them Trinitarians. While they would have liked to retain this ness tbetr only ScslptnraL eupportK they. could -not w conscientiously, -me translators of our Common VetenvSi.wAsa not blame worthy far insertfaag: t-o mterpolwMdn. because at the time of Wr translation it was Impossible to knew -of its spurious character. Since Its translation hundreds of old Greek manuscripts have besn, found, but none of these of earlier date then the seventh century contains this clause which favors the Trinity. As the text stands it makes- nonsense. It states that the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost sirfind In bearing on testi mony In heaven, to the effect that Jesus is the Christ. How -absurd. Who -la there in heaven Ignorant of the fact that Jesus is the Christ? The passage, as Bt, John wrote It, reads, Ttmr .are. three that boar record, the spirit, the water and the blood." Would you 'understand' from Tim othy SO-e that this world Is getting worse to every respect? JTbe paesege reads: -'This know also, that tn the last days Perilous times shall com. For men shall be lovers of their own serves, covetous, boasters, proud blasphemers, dlsobedleat A MMnla linflln1.A.l W1 I.. natural affection, trucebreakera.'false ae- iii siiyinn, iterce those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than levers of God; haying a form Godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away" -B. -W.) Answer. On the contrary, we recognise as a tact that the world In many lespeets is In better condition than it has ever been before. The ctvUtsed nations today are better equipped with hospitals, or phanages, asylums, etc., than ever before. All these are very directly traceable to the innuence of Christianity, and ace neither to be despised nor ignored. At the same time it should not be forgotten that mixed with all of these benevolences is a considerable measure of selfishness they are not all monuments of pure disinter ested benevolence. True, benevolence has had to do with the founding of many of them, but as a .rule those recently In stituted, and much- of the support for all of them, is drawn from the taxpayer through political channels, and apparent ly not always fully for the benefit of the inmates. However, public sentiment favors them, and hence it must be con ceded that the principles laid down by the great Teacher eighteen l centuries ago have made a favorable impression upon civilised peoples. However, that the con ditions which the apostle described do exist, none can doubt To what class does this text apply: "It the righteoas scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the- sinner ap pear?" a Peter 4:18.) Query.) Answer. We reply that the apostle Is not referring to any class of people, but merely in a general way. referring to a principle of the divine law which declares that he that doetb the perfect will of God shall live, and that any failure -to do these things-would be sin, and that the "wages of sin Is death." In other words, the apostle is speaking of God's arrange ment. God has promised eternal life only to the righteous.- God's law makes no allowance for sin, but condemns it and declares- that all unrighteousness is sin. This is the basis of tha apostle's state ment, that a righteous person could be no more than saved under the divine law. He could not ay as some teach. Lord, I have done more than was required of me; I have been .more-than righteous; on the score of my righteousness I could claim your promise of 'eternal life,- but having been more than merely righteous I .have a reserve of merit which I can apply for others to bring them up to the -standard of righteousness. From this standpoint the apostle's words are very clear and we see at once the meaning of the latter clause. His thought is that if the divine law has provided eternal life for only those who are absolutely perfect in God's sight, what show would there be for any sinner condemned for either many or-.few transgressions, and where would the un godly, who fail to recognise their, respon sibility to their Maker, appear; what hope would they have? None. God's law condemns them to death. But a ransom hac been provided. They are to be re leased from this death to be given an In dividual trial or Judgment. "When the Judgments of the Lord are abroad In the earth the Inhabitants shall learn right eousness." The willing pupils will gain eternal life. But only those- who learn righteousness will ever get life, and then they will "barely be saved-" The ungod ly and the sinner will not appear, but will ue octroyed. ckoh noncES.
