Of such were the many lies James Smith, Former Secretary of State, Who Jled at His Home This Morning. Park, Topeka, at 6 o'clock this morn ing. Yesterday seven other survivors of the Seventh Kansas cavalry regiment, with which he served during the Civil war, escorted their old battle flag from the state house to the Grand Army Memorial Hall. Their comrade, who for months had looked forward to that ceremonial, was sinking slowly from an attack which had stricken him but a few days previously. Today their re union is saddened by the knowledge that their brief muster roll has given up another to the enemy that gives no quarter. "Jim" Smith of the Seventh Kansas cavalry leaves an honorable record. For four years he followed the fortunes of his regiment over 12,000 miles of the country swept by the War of the Re bellion. Then he returned to the state from which he had enlisted and soon found himself called upon to represent hlb Bection of it, Marshall county. In the legislature. That was the begin ning of a long stretch of public service in civil life which carried him through county offices of trust and thence to the state capitol to be, first, secretary of state for three terms, and, after ward, private secretary and confidential adviser for eight years longer.

Prominent among the honored vet erans in Topeka today, are a number of boys who" committed perjury with upraised hand for the chance to risk their lives in battle. One of them, who tacked three years and some odd months onto hie age, and two inches onto his chest measurement to get through, does not regret it now. "It was against home teaching, and required some effort at the time," says this veteran, "to look the surgeon in the eye and lie like a common out law, but that was not the crucial test. When my company was lined up to be sworn in, I held up my hand with the rest. An officer stepped up and said: 'Put down your hand, and step three paces In front of the line.' After the others had taken the oath, the com mander stepped up to me and, calling me by my full name, said: 'Do you swear that you are 18 years of age?' 'Yes. sir,' I answered. 'Raise your hand and swear to it." he commanded, and I did. Months later,' a presiden tial election was being held, and our regiment was voting in camp. Just be fore a battle.

A severe earth quake shock lasting over 30 seconds was felt here last night. It was much stronger than any or tne seismic ais turbances felt in the canal zone last October. No damage was done locally so far u reported. The oiricals at Gatun v describe the shock as very strong, but had no knowledge oj any aamajre to Sydney, May 28. The most severe earthquake shocks ever registered by Australian seismographs were record ed at half past twelve this morning by the instruments at the government ob servatory at Riverview. The waves lasted three hours. Indications were that the upheaval was in the neighbor hood of the Frletdly Islands. No Damage at Panama. Colon, Panama, May 28. No damage is reported from the severe earthquake which occurred last evening at about half past ten. Virtually the entire city is composed of frame houses. which rocked during the earthquake. The shock lasted about 35 seconds. Thousands of the terrified inhabitants fled from their houses into the open air. Duration of the earthquake was unprecedented. CHINA AT EXPOSITION Will Have largest Foreign Display at San Francisco. Officers Kansas G. A. R. Department commander Ira D. Brougher, Great Bend. Senior vice commander Albert C. Pierce, junction City. Junior vice commander Thomas M. James, North Topeka. Chaplain Rev. James H. Gander, Baldwin. With four votes short of an election on the first ballot in a four cornered fight, the field was cleared by the with drawal of two candidates and Ira- D. Brougher of Great Bend was today elected department commander to suc ceed Colonel J. N. Harrison. On the first ballot, following a lively fight for control of the head of the state depart ment. Brougher received 262 votes, fall ing but four votes short of an election. C. A. Meeks of Wichita, with 158 votes and R. M. Painter of Meade with 33 votes withdrew. Brougher was then elected. The fight for department commander brought out fresh evidences of the old Coney fight in Kansas' G. A. R. circles and the Topekan and 'his followers threw their support largely to Thomas H. Grisham of Cottonwood Falls. Grish- am was nominated by Charles Harris of Emporia, a former opponent of the Chase county candidate. On the first ballot, Grisham polled 77 votes. While his name was not withdrawn from the meeting, his followers saw the futility of further contest and withdrew from the field when Meeks and his friends went to Brougher. It was after the veterans had blocked resolutions endorsing either Captain Coney or Colonel Harrison for commander-in-chief that the fight for the election of department' com mander was staged. The 'sidetrack ing of the resolutions had meant the fading of all hopes for the success of a Kansas man in tne national en- campment. Friends of both Coney and Harrison then renewed their fight in the election of a new depart ment commander, r Nominating speeches were limited to three minutes, but it warn nearly an. hour: after, th--nomiruttion oefltfed before the first ballot was taken. Charles Harris of Emporia nominated Thomas H. Grisham of Cottonwood Falls and Mike Sutton of Dodge City seconded the nomination. Thomas Sweeney of Lawrence placed R. M. Painter of Meade in nomination and seconding speeches were made by J. A; Armett and H. Mott. R. M. Tay lor of Emporia nominated Brougher and W. S. Attby nominated C. A. Meeks of Wichita. While the tellers were busy counting the ballots, the veterans entitled to vote in the meet ing completed their election of offi cers. All of the remaining officers were elected by acclamation. Col. A. W. Smith of Topeka nomi nated Captain Albert C. Pierce of Junction City for senior vice com mander. His election was by unani mous vote. Then the old soldiers caught the fever of a new harmony. Captain P. H. Coney nominated Thomas M. James of North Topeka for junior vice commander and his election was by acclamation. The same course was followed when Rev. James H. Gander of Baldwin was nominated for chaplain. Then came the report of the tellers and for a few minutes there was a wild scene ameng the old soldiers over the -lection of Colonel Harri son's successor. The returns showed 530 votes case, with 266 necessary to a choice. Brougher had received 262 votes, while 158 votes were cast for Meeks. Grisham polled 77 votes and 33 were cast for Painter. As the vet erans fought over the calling for a second ballot, Painter's name was withdrawn. Then Mteks second man in the running walked to the front of the hall and withdrew nis own name. Brougher's friends cheered Meeks' ac tion, as he asked that the election of the Barton county man be by accla mation. The fight was over. Gris- ham's name was not withdrawn. But the vote on Meek's motion met no op position and Brougher is for the next year department commander of the Kansas G. A. K. Commander Brougher is one of the most widely known veterans in the state and served several terms as county clerk" of Barton county. He lost an arm in tne battle of Antletam. and has a war record that is excep tionally brilliant. He haa been active in the afralrs or tne u. a. n. in Kan sas for a number of years and is popular among the old soldiers of the state. Because he has served two years as department commander. Colonel Har rison was not eligible to succeed him self and hia name was not presented at the business meeting. GEORGE Y. Sr.HTII DEAD Was Survivor of Qnantrel Raid and Kansas Pioneer.

He moved to Kansas in 1856 and settled in Douglas county and has lived there ever since, excepting two years which he spent at Larned. Mr. Smith form erly was engaged here as a merchant but retired several years ago... He is survived by his wife and three sons. His sons are W. R.

The presidrr.t-elect, Mrs. McElroy, made the following appointments: Inspector, Cora Lec Drum. Conductor. Emma Peterson. Corresponding secretary, Anna De- walt. Patriotic Instructor, Etta Green. One of the happiest proceedings of the L. of G. A. R. was the presenta tion of a beautiful silk flag to the cir cle which made the largest gain in membership for the past year. Cap tain L. B. Dobbs of the Leavenworth Soldiers' Home made the offer at the last department encampment that the circle making the largest gain in new members for the year' he would pre sent them a flag. He made his word good this morning just after the con vening of the L. of G. A. R. encamp ment. Mrs. Delnora McGrath of Lincoln circle, and a former mem ber of Livermore circle No. 66 of Be loit, was selected by Captain Dobbs to make the presentation address. Calling the dozen or more delegates from Livermore circle to the front. she was thankful' for the honor con ferred upon her, and in a short, well chosen and profoundly patriotic ad dress she presented the flag to Liv ermore circle and generously thanked Captain Dobbs for the flag on behalf of Beloit circle. She was followed by Mrs. Emily Field. Cotton, past depart ment patriotic instructor, and a mem ber of Livermore circle, who accepted the gift for her circle in a few happy remarks for the flag and thanked Captain Dobbs for the honor so well merited by her circle. Mrs. Almlra Hale, past president of Livermore cir cle, closed the exercises of the flag presentation in a few chosen and timely remarks for the emblem, the G. A. R. and the circle she is ftroud to belong to. The entire proceedings have been very harmonious, and the large num ber of delegates present are Bhower ing words of praise on the kind treat ment they are receiving in Topeka. WAS l!0 t.!ASSACP,L presented to the old soldiers of the state this afternoon by ladies of the W. R. C, ladies of the G. A. R., and the ladies' auxiliary of the Sons of Vet erans. Two hours of solid oratory fol lowed the presentation of the new treasures to be placed in the half mil lion dollar Memorial hall. One of the chief features surrounding the afternoon's presentation cere monies, was the transfer of the bronze tablet of Lincoln's Ge ttysburg speech to the keeping of the old soldiers in their new marble hall. The presentation was by the Women's Relief Corps of Kan sas. So it was only fitting that the re sponse on behalf of the old soldiers of the state was by W. A. Calderhead of Marysville, former Fifth district con gressman, an old soldier and a personal friend and acquaintance of President Lincoln. In his response this afternoon. Judge Calderhead paid remarkable tribute to Lincoln, to whom tributes naturally (Continued on page 12.) bia and the United States in connec tion with the Panama canal.

THE TOPEHA DAILY STATS JOTJBITAE THUESDAY JSVEUmQ IIAY 23, 1C1C PLANS FOR PEACE Some Points Upon Which the Conferees Look Fayorabfy. First of All Huerta Is to Step Down and Out. a hhbpil" goyepeht To Consist of President and Fonr Cabinet Members. New Elections To Be Held as Early as Possible. Niagara Falls, Ont.. May 28. Media tion conferences have been in progress a week today and already many of the essentials of a plan for the pacifica tion of Mexico have been agreed upon. Details are being withheld until there is a complete agreement on all. subjects but the main points of the plan on which both sides at present look fa vorably are the following: The transfer of the executive power at Mexico City from the hands of Gen eral Victoriano Huerta to a provisional president and four cabinet ministers. This talked of body has often been re ferred to as a commission or junta. These five men would share equally the responsibility of putting into opera tion a program adopted at the confer ence here for the conduct as soon as practicable of new elections for presi dent, vice president and members of congress. The live men would be neutral persons so far as political af filiations are concerned, but would be representative men as nearly accept able as possible to all factions in Mex ico, including the constitutionalists and approved also by the American govern ment. Prompt recognition of the provisional government would be given by the United States. Withdrawal of American troops is ex pected by the Mexican delegates to follow as a matter of course as soon as the new government is installed. While there may be no formal dec laration on the subject the Mexican delegates expect a tacit understanding to b reached that the United States will regard as legal the financial trans actions of the present Mexican con gress. The Protocol. In the protocol there will be pro claimed principles on which a study of the agrarian and educational problems in Mexico would be based but there will be made no mention of individuals to the government. The mediators and delegates intend to use every effort to maintain the secrecy of the names of individuals un til all elements in the proposed new government have assented to the plan accomplished. There is every reason to believe that already the Washington government has in its possession a list of names from which five men accept able to it eventually will be agreed upon. The suggestions were made by the Mexicans and the theory Under which the United States is being asked to approve some of them is that It has a right to indicate whom it will or will not recognize. It is also probable that this list has been sent by the Mexican delegates to General Huerta. It is understood there will be no ref erence in the protocol to the details .of future elections, either as to foreclos ing any individuals from becoming can didates or prescribing the electoral ma chinery. The protocol will declare simply for a general election, fair to all factions and looking to the restoration of permanent government. The new president would serve until 1916, filling the unexpired term of the late Pres ident Madero. Government by Commission. The Mexican delegates have looked with disfavor on the proposal that a commission government should be es tablished provisionally pending an elec tion. They have contended that it would be unconstitutional. The me diators who are understood to have conceived the idea originally, have found a way to bridge that difficulty by preserving the forms of the Mexi can constitution. The provisional pres ident and four ministers to all intents and purposes will act as a unit in resolving; the various questions incident to re-establishment of a permanent government. The executive power, ac cording to the Mexican constitution- is vested in the president, who can be stow it upon cabinet officials. The four men who would act with the new pro visional president doubtless would take charge of the departments of the for eign relations, finance, war and in terior. Sub-secretaries would continue in charge of the other departments. Belief is expressed confidently that an agreement or protocol will be drawn ud and perhaps signed within another week. The mediators are anxious for a speedy settlement as are also the too, that .no time may be lost in set ting up the new government after sig natures are fixed to the protocol. Al ready they have General Huerta's ap proval iur me main points In the plan. They came with plenary powers but nevertheless have been referring vital issues to him and he has been giving his approval to their work. Interests of the constitutionalists are being kept in mind by the mediators. Names agreed upon for the -new provisional govern ment are, expected to be such as the constitutionalists might endorse. The mediators: don't expect the ques tion of constitutionalist representation here to be reopened. The conferences have progressed too far for that. The general belief is that the American government already is sounding out the constitutionalists on details of the plans being discussed. Conferences be tween the mediators and Mexican dele gates were expected to occupy this fore noon. VOTE FOR TREATY. (Continued From Page One.) its troops, materials of war and war ships, even in case of war between Colombia and another country. The products of the soil and indus try of Colombia and the Colombian mails passing through the canal are to De exempt rrom any cnarge or duty other than those to whieh similar products and mails from the United States are subject. These products are also to be admitted to the canal zone on the same basis as American products, in case of interruption of anal t raffle, Colombian troops war materials, products and mails are to be transported by the railway be tween Ancon and Cristobal on the aame terms as those of the United States. Colombian coal, petroleum, and sea salt passing from Colombian porta on the Atlantic to Colombian ports on the Pacific or vice versa are to be trans ported over the railway at the actual cost of handling and transportation. Within six months after exchange of ratifications of the treaty the United States agrees to pay to Colombia 12, 000,000 in gold. BY ELIMINATION. (Continued From Page One.) agreed upon by a process of elimination of the issues which it had at first been impossible to compose. It by no meana follows that the points still in dispute can not be adjusted; the purpose has been in framing these separate propo sitions to clear the way for the discus sion and adjustment of the most serious differences. Though the tentative protocol, if such it may be called at this stage, consequently omits some of its dan gerous factors, which must enter into the final settlement, it is regarded by administration officials as most prom ising and considering the limited period of time the mediators have been at work the success so far attain ed has been remarkable compared with similar negotiations. More War Material for Huerta. Closely following the' landing of munitions of war for Huerta from the two liners at Puerto Mexico, a large consignment from Japan is due at Manzanillo or Salina Cruz on the west coast. Word has reached Washington that the Japanese cruiser Idzumo, which has been hovering around Ma zatlan has gone down the coast and though the latter report is lacking in official confirmation, so far, it is under stood that, like the German cruiser Bremen, which convoyed the Tpiranga to Puerto Mexico on the east coast, the Japanese warship will accompany the expected merchantman to one of the ports connected by rail with the Mex ican capital. The Japan arms and ammunition were ordered by Huerta many months ago. Treasury experts, discussing the landing of the cargoes of the Yriiranea and Bavaria at Puerto Mexico, dis missed the erroneous theory that the masters or those snips would render themselves liable to punishment by landing the munitions at a port other than that to which they were originally consigned. There is nothing, in American law, at least, to prevent consigners changing destinations of cargoes. Absence of a proper manifest, how ever, is punishable and General Fun- ston would be within his rights in de taining the Bavaria if, as reported, that steamer had appeared at Vera Cruz without such a document.

Higby, in an address to the Episcopal convocation today. "Unless you can make the church the center of coun try life it might as well go," said the Rev. Mr. Higby.

AI!D DEATH CAME. (Continued From. Page One.). ouartennaster general of the state. This was his last public post. For a number of years he haa lived, retired, at hia comfortable Topeka home on Maryland avenue in Highland Park. Without exaggeration. Smith was on of the moat generally liked men in Kan sas politics. At home, in Marshall county, his popularity was such that when, after more than a decade of ser vice in county offices, he became a can didate for secretary of state, his county voted solidly for him. It ia recorded that there waa not a vote for any op posing candidate, from Marshall coun ty. He was twice re-elected to the of fice in a time when political honors were keenly sought" and bitterly con tested. He waa secretary of state when Governor John P. St. John's adminis tration carried Kansas for the prohibi tory amendment. The Smith family of Eldersrldge; Indiana county, Pennsylvania, where James was born on July 29, 18S7, was a large one, the father having been married twice. There were nine brothers and a sister in the older branch of the family and by his sec ond marriage the elder Smith had four other children. Seven of the brother and the father served in the Union army and two of the sons died in service, John falling at the battle of Gettysburg, while Matthew was a victim of fever, in Virginia. Six brothers survive. Robert W. Bigelow Smith, William H.. a Marysville banker, and George T. Smith, are res idents of Marshall county, where they settled in the early statehood days. Elder Smith lives at Idaho City, Ida., while Alfred and Hiram Smith reside at Saltsburg, Pa James Smith would have been 77 years old on July 29, next. He had the advantage of a college education, being a graduate of Canonsburg, Pa., college, was a man of genial spirit and fine presence. His residence in Kansas began early in 1880, when he arrived in this state after a short so journ in Mississippi, where he taught school for a year or two on planta tions of wealthy southerners. Com ing to Kansas he settled in Marshall county, where with his brothers he claimed his residence for many years after his political life brought him to Topeka. The immediate family includes the widow, Mrs. Jennie Edgar Smith, to whom he was married in Marshall county in 1869, and three children, Mrs. F. fS. Nipps, wife of the present county commissioner and local agent of the Missouri Pacific railway; Clar ence Smith, for a number of years past connected with the state tax commission, and Mrs. Oscar D. Wolf, whose husband has for many years been connected with the State Jour nal. With the 7th Kan wan Cavalry. The seven aged men who proudly escorted the flags of the Seventh Kan Baa cavalry from the old headquar ters of the Grand Army at the state house, to the Memorial hall which had been erected for the shelter of these and other relics of the state's history, were J. W. Springer, G troop: A. A. Griffin, B troop; Dan Gaston and George Bird of C troop; H. H. Lvnn. H troop: Sam Gates of G troop. Land Sam Wilkinson of A. Wilkinson was elected to carry me oanner yes terday. He was of the same troop m which Smftn served.;: iff;-, The Seventh Kansas mika organized at Fort Leavenworth October 28, 1881, and was ordered into the field in west ern Missouri immediately. Its first active engagement, in which Smith's company participated, .waa at the Little Blue river. Alter wintering in Kansas the regiment was sent to Co lumbus, Ky., where it was engaged in escort duty on railroad repair work. Thence it moved into Mississippi in time to take part in the final engage ment at Corinth. After the federal successes at Corinth the Seventh Kan sas was sent into Alabama and it took part in engagements at Buzzard a Roost in that state, at Holly Springs, Miss.. Tallahatchie. Oxford. Water Valley and Coffeyville. Much of its subsequent duty was in tne protection of the Memphis and Charleston rail road and it was never exempt from danger during the three years spent in the south. In 1863 it participated in battles at Florence, Iuka, Swallow's Bluff, Byhalia and Wyatt, Miss.; Rip ley and Jack's Creek. Tenn.: Tupelo, Miss.. Ellistown, Oxford and Hur ricane Creek and in the campaign against Price in Missouri. At the end of the war it was sent into Nebraska before the regiment was finally order ed to Leavenworth to be mustered out. Smith enlisted as a private but was soon attached to the quartermaster's department bo that at the end of the war he was promoted to be regimental quartermaster. He was constantly with his regiment during its arduous four years' service. Into Kansas Politics. For twenty years "Jim" Smith was a leader in Republican state politics. navmg previously earned his promo tion bya long and successful partic ipation in the county affairs of Mar shall county. In 1866, a year after his return from the army, he was elected to the state legislature. Aft er a term there he was elected county clerk of Marshall county and followed four years in that office by two terms in the county clerkship. He resigned before the end of the second term to become secretary of state in 1878. He served three terms and was trans ferred from that office to become pri vate secretary to Governor John A. Martin during his four years of office. Lyman U. Humphrey,. who succeeded with two terms as governor, retained smith as his confidential adviser.

THE TOPSSA DAILY CTATS JOTOCTAI-rTinJCCDAY i; Vli:m:0 I1AY 3, 1CML A BASEBALL POOL District Attorney of New York May Begin Prosecution. PostofSce Inspectors Wouldn't Interfere Didn't Use Mails. New York, May 28. A thriving busi ness In New York and other eastern cities is said to have been disclosed In the investigation of alleged baseball pools by assistants and detectives in the office of District Attorney Whit man. That such an investigation was in progress became known today when some of the methods of the so-called "Baseball News Information bureaus" were made public. The procedure, at cording to Assistant District Attorney Colon, is for the prospective subscriber to pay 25 cents for a sealed envelope containing a score card with blank boxes for every team in each of the live leagues 40 teams In all and for every day in the week except Sunday. On the back of the score card are the rules of the "subscription." Each score card has five teams punched as its par ticular combination for "premiums" for the largest number of runs scored by any combination in the week. Pre miums are also quoted for the lowest number of runs. The real interest, it was pointed out. Is not in the week old reports of baseball nor in the hour by hour news of the standing of teams which the bureaus furnish subscribers but in the "premiums" to the winners. It was said at the postoffice that the Inspectors have known of the baseball pools for some time but have taken no action because the bureaus pay no at tention to mail communications, all cards being sold by agents. Prosecution of the owners of the agencies it was said today probably would be Instituted s a result of the investigation. FOB MO. VALLKY MEET. STANDma OF THE TEAMS.

Scanlon; Bish op and WandelL GOSSIP OF THE GAME Some of the writers of the circuit are talking about the present season being hard on managers. In more than one town on the circuit it is alleged that the fans are "after" the managers, ap parently wanting a change, and in some cases the talk of a new manager ap pears to be without cause. In two places, Lincoln and St. Joseph, the fans are after the respective leaders, and there appears to be no reason for the noise. The fans of Lincoln are after Charles Mullen. It is even claimed that the members of the team are not playing up to their standard or are sloughing just to spite Mullen. The trouble at Lincoln does not appear to be any fault of Mullen. The fault, in our mind, is in the team. The outfield of this aggregation is simply not of Western League class. Excepting Schriber, and we have not seen him play. Hugh Jones has tried to strengthen the outfield and the result shows how weU he has succeeded. In St. Joseph It is reported that the fans have quit Jack Holland. In fact the attendance is said to have been so poor this season that the club has not made expenses. We cannot account for this unless it migbt be because Holland is personally unpopular al though this is merely conjecture. Even at that, we can see no reason why the fans should Quit the club as it has been near the top ever since the opening and now has crowded into first place. This should be sufficient to overcome any personal feeling that might exist. The real cause in our opinion, is a poor bunch of sports in St. Joseph and we don't think Holland ia to blame for any part of the falling off in the gate re ceipts. The fans of Wichita seem to have been silenced by the reorganisation which put Dan Breese back into the leadership. President- Breese Is trying hard to build up a team and appears to be meeting with more or --less suc cess. In Topeka. general satisfaction ap peared to xist until the present trip which has proven to be the most disas trous that ever occurred to a team on the O'Neill circuit. On account of the long string of defeats there has been some howl for the scalp of Manager Dale Gear but the more, conservative element does not look at things in this light. While Manager Dale Gear has not succeeded in picking a pitching staff up to date which could make a good showing. It Is the general opinion that he did his best,' and now realis ing his failure, is doing everything pos sible to strengthen the weak places which if accomplished, would bring the team np in the race.

The weather is as much to blame as any thing else. The Western League is be twixt and between all other classes of baseball. The majors and Class A A leagues will not allow good players to stay in this league unless there is a good reason. The men of the lower classes are picked over by the majors before the Western League gets a chance, and for this reason, the West ern League managers are fortunate m finding competent players during these perilous times which has been brought about by the Federal League. For one, this department will "keep off" the managers for' a time or at least until conditions are less chaotic. As for the conditions in St. Joseph, we have expressed our opinion and we have no inclination to prescribe a cure. After winning three' and getting a tie in the fourth game of the series with Topeka. the Des Moines club lost five straight games four to Denver and one to Lincoln. Ana then some body says there is no luck in baseball. Pitcher Leonard O'Byrne of Topeka has been signed by the Hutchinson club of the Kansas State League. Mr. O'Byrne was with the Omaha club a short time last year and also with Burlington and Muscatine In the Cen tral Association.; He Is a graduate of St. Marys and learned to pitch under the instruction of Coach E. C. Qulgley. Don't refer to the Lincoln club as the Antelopes. The Lincoln baseball writ ers insist upon the word Tigers. To call them Antelopes- peeves the Lin coln baseball writers.

Somebody's lying. J. P. Morgan, the son of the late financier of the aame name, denies emphatically most of the interesting testimony that was given by Mr. Mellen before the interstate commerce commission. Kansas is slated to be one of the big battlegrounds in the Progressive cam paigns of next fall. All of which should bring joy to the Democrats and a corresponding gloom to certain and divers candidates for office on the Re publican ticket. Henry Savage Landor is a mighty if nn nlast from Colonel pvui Roosevelt's horn has, squelched him completely. A good hot controversy nivor nf Doubt would be-lust the thing to relieve the monotony of the dog days that are in me omnB. Neither is there anything remark able in the fact that the A. B. C. mediators ran into a snag when they began a consideration of the Mexican land question. That's at the bottom of all the disturbances that have de veloped in Mexico during these many years. i Under the policy of "watchful wait ing" a United States consul, John R. Sllltman, experienced the, horrors of a Huerta prison during an incarcera tion of no less than 21- days. The Tampico Incident, with its famous salute-the-fiar demand. Is picayunish a. imrvrtrsn. ARTIFICIAL ILLUMINATIOJtr. Enormous progress has been mads during recent years in the science of illumination. This has not only been of great value In safety and conven ience in trains, boats, factories, streets. stores, theaters and churches, but tt Is a distinct benefit in conserving the eyesight of the human race, says the Journal of the American Medical Association. The development of the tungsten lamp Is probably the most marked Improvement in artificial illu mination that has recently been made. for It not only increases the light -capacity, but it decreases the cost of consumption. As an illustration of the superiority of the tungsten lamp over all other lamps, it may be said that the United States government ..baa is sued an order that all carbon filament lamps shall be abandoned In its build ings and that 25-watt tungsten lamps shall be substituted in their place. One of the best lights for illuminat ing such places as railroad sheds', foun dries and blacksmith shops is what is known as the "flaming-arc lamp." It has been improved so that the fumes of the arc are condensed and do not escape Into the air nor become de posited -on the globe. It ';ls a cheap lamp to maintain as one set of car bons will burn from 100 to 120 hours without attention. The proper natural and I artificial lighting of school rooms has a most marked effect on the health" of the school children. One interesting fact disclosed by these Investigations Is that girls' eyes are usually worse than boys' eyes. This is accounted for by the fact that girls are taught to sew early in life and oftentimes with in sufficient illumination. Sewing les sons should not be given to little girls before 7 years of age; good light should always be assured, and dis crimination should be shown between girls having -good eyes and those hav ing poor ones. On account of the effect on chil dren's eyes, the size and style of types, the quality and color of paper, the illustrations, the angle and the posi tion in reading and writing, the color of blackboards and chalk should al ways be taken into consideration in selecting school books and school sup plies. Black type on a yellow back ground is the most legible of all com binations, especially for distance, while black type on a white back ground comes sixth in order, out of thirteen specimens. The work of the railway mail clerk is one of the most trying occupations on the eye. The United States post- office department has recently taken up the matter -and Is preparing to equip all our postoffice cars with the best and least Injurious methods of Il lumination. Several of our state gov ernments are taking active steps to regulate the lighting of cars and the headlights of locomotives and automo biles The blinding! result of. exces sively powerful lights on locomotives and automobiles is well known. While such machines should be abund antly lighted, to insure safety to all concerned, excessive Illumination should be condemned and forbidden. Tire indirect lighting of theaters, churches; restaurants and cars has produced a revolution, in interior il lumination. This method is most rest ful to the eyes, and when sufficiently abundant, is an ideal method for the lighting of interiors. Street lights should be protected by glazed or opaque globes. When prop erly installed and placed, such light ing Is sufficient and is much easier on the eyes than, the' old unprotected style of lights. The glazed or opaque globe seems to be coming into general use and its use should be encouraged. not only in public places, but in houses as well. Clear globes or lamps should never be used; they are very trying on the eyes. The nearer arti ficial lighting can approach daylight. the more nearly perfection is reached. In Germany they are experimenting with marble globes instead of glass globes. The marble is planed down till It Is thin and translucent and the light produced is almost the exact counterpart of daylight. One inves tigator has shown that a screen coated with an aluminum powder, placed in front of a light, will produce an il lumination exactly like daylight by means of which even colors can be Judged with perfect accuracy. The day may not be far distant when arti ficial illumination will become a per feet substitute for daylight. In Hoi land women and children are forbid- den to work in factories or workshops where artificial lighting' Is necessary before 9 o'clock In the morning and after S o'clock in the afternoon. These questions are being discussed In England, France, Holland, Austria and Germany. In this country. New York and Wisconsin have taken up this question, and it is to be hoped it will soon receive serious official con sideration everywhere. BOOKS FOR FARMERS. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper pub lished at Springfield, Ohio, appears the following editorial containing an interesting suggestion together with a statement of interesting new facts about a movement in Canada: "A movement has been launched in Canada to furnish every person in the nation one book a week at an expense of two cents. "The postoffice department is to be the universal librarian; "Books are to be delivered by the postmasters and letter carriers. There are to be no reading rooms, nor great collections of books housed in expen sive buildings. It will be a cheap, self sustaining system with such a com plete plan of exchanges that" anyone can get any standard book anywhere without much-delay. "Such a system in the United States would give every family and every iv4 rXoel tooA ttbrary. puXSZm as are bow possessed br the people of the cities. '---.v.--.- "It would open the literary, artistic and scientific treasures of the world to the people now starving for good reading:. "Says the Chicago Tribune': The person who from childhood has been accustomed to go to the pub lic library and to draw books free can. have no conception -of whit it means to be craving for reading. This pre cisely is the condition, according to the. United States bureau of education,' of millions of children on the farms throughout the country. The writer knows this to be true. for he has himself been one .of those millions of book-hungry children. "Such a system of postal circulating libraries could furnish phonograph re- cords, lantern slides, and moving-' picture films as well as books.. 1 "Under proper control it would be, the greatest of all influences for studi ous habits; good taste, national effi ciency and good citizenship. "It is estimated that the system for Canada would cost a dollar per cap ita of the people. That would mean for the United States a quarter of the cost of the Panama -canal, or about the expense of five battleships. "And who is so bold as to say that the canal or the battleships can give the people a tithe of the benefits which would flow from such postal circulating libraries?'

The Evening Story Portraits and Polly. (By Harmony Weller.) "By gosh!" exclaimed Hiram Per kins, as his eye fell upon an adver tisement in the local newspaper. "I reckon here's a chance to get that picture painted of you, Miranda, that I have always wanted for that easel in the front parlor." Miranda, fat. fair and fifty, gave a pat to her hair, smoothed down her ample skirts and waited for Hiram to continue. "Here's an artist chap who wants to spend a month or so on a farm, and instead of paying board he will paint a portrait. How's that for a chance for a real picture of you one that we can hand down to Polly and posterity? If we feed that poor art ist up on lots of fresh eggs and milk' and butter, I reckon he'H stay on an other month an-t make, a picture --or me to set up on another easel." "Hiram, it looks like the chance or our lives. You answer that adver tisement and I will go and make the room in the old wing artistio-like for the likes of our guest." She stopped a moment for a cautious whisper into her husbands ear. "Just tell that artist that we would like him to feel like a guest as has been invited down from the city by. our Polly. We don V want our neighbors to be thinking he hasn t the price for a summer holi day. The portrait can come In kind of accidental like." "Miranda, you've gofa'great head for society," laughed Hiram with a kiss for his wife's cheek before she left him to put the room in Order. When Dave Errick received so prompt an answer to his advertise ment he felt wonderfully relieved. He had been struggling with refractory paints and brushes during a long winter and his constitution had begun to show a lack of proper nourishment and fresh air. "Spring time on a Long Island farm," he muttered, "will make a new man of me. I only wish I could toss these brushes and paint out the tenth story window and never' see them again, but I suppose I will have to make good my threat and paint a portrait of some red-faced farmer." He stretched luxuriously and roused himself to the point of putting his clothes into a suitcase. When Polly Perkins heard of the arrangement and the expected arrival of a city artist she was not In the least pleased. "I was hoping to escape everything in the way of city bred people while I am home," she confided to her mother. "I just wanted you and daddy and the growing things on the farm during my holiday from college. You have no idea how I love to be here. I simply stifle among city cus toms, but I suppose I can be polite to this poor struggling artist." She gave her mother a great hug and bounded off to the chicken coop, where- a crackling of shells proclaimed the en trance into the world of fluffy yellow chicks. The struggling artist was in the meantime Inhaling long breaths of Long Island air as he drove behind old Bess toward the farm. Hiram Perkins had gone down to the station to meet him, and somehow a peculiar attraction had been found between the farmer and the artist. Perhaps it was pity that touched Hiram's big heart, for the young; man's cheeks were colorless and his eyes lacking in luster. David Er rick responded to that paternal inter est and before the farm was reached the two seemed fast friends. Miranda came out to greet them and a second later went into the house to return with a great pitcher of milk with home made bread and honey. "I think I have never tasted any thing quite so good," said David. "I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you for accepting me into your household in this way. Art is long and dreary. I think It would have fin ished me had I not put that little ad vertisement in the paper." "Forget all that now." laughed Hir am. "You are our guest that la how we are going to feel about it," "You are far too good to me." David replied, then opened wide his eyes for Polly had burst upon the scene. Polly surrounded by her pets from the barn yard was well worth opening one's eyes to look at. Her gingham frock was blue, but not bluer than her eyes, and David Errick saw only the eyes.- -She could not shake hands with him because of an. armful of tiny, rabbits she carried. c "I am aiad yon have come." she told him by way of welcome. "And I hope you are going to -Know bow to rabbit cages' and chicken coops. Fa ther never has time- to fix these things for me. and my pets are constantly escaping." David Errick laughed. "One of the beat things I do is to work on a farm." he said, and' some how Polly also found herself not som; mum weir guest had arrived. As for Miranda, she petted him and fed him on fresh eggs and- milk until the very faintest of pink began to flow into his tanning cheek 'The farm is certainly the place for you. my boy," she was wont to say, when, sitting, for her portrait, she had ample opportunity, to study the signs of returning strength in his face. "I begin to think it is." he often made answer in a voice that made no at tempt to conceal the seriousness of his thought. The portrait .progressed as did the mending of sundry small coops and cages that were the special property of Polly Perkins. David Errick seemed to have been born on the place so much, at home did he make himself. olly began to wonder how she could ever get along without him, and so did Hiram and Miranda. "Stay another month," urged Hiram. "If you like, you can paint a picture of me to set In that easel opposite Mi randa." He looked slyly at David. Then after that perhaps you will stay on and paint Polly, and then it will be baying time and I will, need you to help manage the farm hands." "Do stay," echoed Miranda and Polly. "You are all far too good to me David replied, and needed no second bidding. He was feeling like a far mer both in constitution and mind. Never had he bo thoroughly enjoyed life and never again could he take any pleasure in the city. The country had lured him, body and soul. "Do you know," said Polly with delightful candor, as she stood look ing at the portraits of her mother and father that now adorned two easels in the west parlor. "I think you make a far better farmer than you do an artist. Papa and mamma look for all the world like wax dolls in those pic tures. There is not a particle of real expression in either one of them." She looked frankly Into David's eyes. "Do city people like that kind of por trait?" "Not much," laughed David. "That Is the reason why I had not the price of a vacation. I never did think I could paint and now I know it. You and I will go down by the fishing stream this afternoon and I will burn up every, brush and paint pot I pos- Polly blushed and did not look at David when she asked her next ques tion. "What will you do" then?" "Well David's voice was vi brant with a new happiness, "if there Is any one who loves me enougli to want to hear my plans, I will tell her about them." He looked longingly down at Polly's smiling lips. "I love you more than anything In the world," he added softly. "But I would not leave the farm," said Polly after a long moment. "No more would -I." laughed David. "I am going to take over the agricul tural end of this farm for your father. He and I are going to make things hum. I would not paint even your portrait, dear. No more paints for me when I can be a real farmer and you a farmer's wife." "I rather think you were intended to be a farmer, anyway," laughed Pol ly. C.r "I will be- a happy one at least with you beside" me." David. sai(L (Copyright 1914 by the McClure News paper Syndicate.)

LOIlGREIi'S FINE FLIGHT Topeka Aviator Flew Around Dome for Old Soldiers. A. K. Longren, the Topeka aviator, made a pretty flight for the benefit of the Civil war veterans Wednesday afternoon. Longren left the aviation field about 4 o'clock and went directly north, going' over Jackson street with out a turn. At Tenth and Jackson he soared higher and then made a com plete circle of the state house dome. After completing this, he stayed in the air for several minutes far above the Memorial hall. He then descended slowly and landed south of the city. The purr of the powerful engine of Longren's machine could be heard for blocks and thousands of people, in all parts of the city, saw the flight- On Kansas avenue, the state bouse grounds and in the residence districts of Topeka. people craned their necks to obtain a good view of the aviator. The machine went smoothly. It was an excellent exhibition of flying. Mr. Longren made the flight with out charge to the G. A. R. Com mander J. N. Harrison planned for an exhibition flight and several avia tors put in bids, amounting to $250 or $300 to make the flight. Longren offered his services free and the old soldiers appreciated his kindness. THEY CALL ON T. R. Munsey and rriklius Motor TTp From New York. Oyster Bay, May Frank A.

Coaej-naurrlsoB Tight a Draw Wo Endoncmeat. i'- X Cyrus Leland of Troy today threw a monkey wrench In the machinery set for the endorsement of Command er J. -N. Harrison for commander-in-chief of the national G. A. R and the Kansas veterans today upset all en dorsements and probably finally elim inated both Colonel Harrison and Captain P. H. Coney from the race. Leland's strategic move followed the reading of resolutions endorsing Har rison. He moved to amend by sub stituting the name of Coney. At the end of a red hot fifteen minute fight, friends of both candidates united in sending all endorsements to the scrap' heap. The fresh outbreak of the Coney Harrison fight was not unexpected. Both men have aspired to election as commander-in-chief of the national G. A. R. Colonel Harrison, because of his two years of service as depart ment commander and his activity in securing the completion of Memorial hall, was regarded by many veterans as the logical candidate. But Captain Coney also had claims that were not to be' denied. And after that fifteen minutes' fight. Troth men were prob ably effectually eliminated from the No sooner had resolutions endors ing Harrison's candidacy been sub mitted than Cyrus Leland was on his feet with blood in his eyes, his -old fighting spirit aroused and his forces organized for battle.' "I move to amend those resolu tions," shouted the former Republi can national committeeman and po litical leader, "and I move that we substitute the name of Captain P. H. Coney for that of Commander Harri son." A half dozen of Coney's friends were on their feet to second the mo tion. Down in the audience Captain Ne delhoffer was trying to ask a question. "I want to know if this is a Dolit- ical convention and whether we came here to promote any one's ambition 'for any job; or whether we are Just here to run our own business?" asked Nedelhoffer when he secured recogni tion. No one answered the question. "We don't want a row," explained Charles Harris of Emporia, as he tried to salve for brimstone in the proceedings. "Let's table this resolu tion and stop trouble," he pleaded. There were yells from all parts of the hall. "Yes, yes," shouted some of the veterans. And "No. "Never," "Forget it," were the words hurled back at the harmonizers. Colonel Harrison, who was presiding at the meeting,- tried to restore peace and quiet. He beat upon the oak table with his gavel. But the old soldiers continued to express their sentiments. Harris tried again. Someone amended his motion. Harris was wroth. Harris raised a point of order, sat down and started to speak again." r,:. "Sit down, someone-shouted. "Vote,"- shouted half a hundred more warriors of '61. A veteran started to make a speech. There were more yells. "What will you do with this resolu tion?" asked the chairman, as he pounded on the table and yelled at the delegates. Then someone straightened out the motion. It was made clear that the veterans wanted to table only that part of the resolution which tended to: en dorse the candidacy of either Coney Or Harrison. In the meantime the Har rison following had counseled. They swuns- it behind Harris' motion and the effort to endorse either- candidate for commander-in-chief was In the dis card. Among veterans attending the en campment, it is generally believed that the action of the old soldiers In today's business session eliminates both Harrison and Coney from the race for head of the national organ ization.. It is probable that the Kan sas "delegation will present no candi date at the national encampment this summer, as the action today indi cates that neither faction is willing to surrender. HOW FOR II. Y. CENTRAL Senator Norrls Wants to Know If It Is Violating the Law. Washington. May .-A resolution calling upon the attorney general to in form the senate if the combination of railroad lines, comprising the New Tork Central system, is in violation of the Sherman anti-trust? law, was. in troduced today by Senator Norrls, Re publican, of Nebraska.

Administration Favors Policy, for Trade Expansion. Washington. May 28 Assurances by Secretaries Bryan and Redfleld to the national foreign trade convention, in session here, that the administration earnestly desires to increase American foreign and to widen tne field of American enterprise through co-operation with the business men of the country, was being discussed with keen interest today by delegates to the convention.- As prime essentials in this movement. Secretary Bryan, Senator Burton of Ohio and other prominent speakers advocated a- spirit of peace and good will toward all foreign na tions and a policy of honest business dealing. The Administration a announced policy of heartily supporting the "get-together" movement for the future expansion of American commerce in foreign fields while doubtless already known by the. delegates, nevertheless was., highly gratifying to them. Secretaries. Bryan and Redfleld not only gave as surances that President Wilson was de sirous of aiding in the development of the country's commerce abroad and at home, but that the departments over: which they presided the departments of state and commerce would lend every legitimate assistance to the move- raent. Members of the convention ex pressed the opinion today that these assurances would give increased im-: petus to the movement. After telling the delegates of Presi dent Wilson's desires "for those policies, which will promote our industry at home as well as abroad." Secretary Bryan reviewed in great detail the prin cipal steps that had been taken by the administration, which in his opinion, "tend directly and necessarily to pro mote commerce." Among other things, the secretary referred to the tariff, the currency act and cdoption of a peace policy. "In the reduction of the tariff." he said, "it has increased exchanges. The last speech made by President McKln ley before his unfortunate and tragic death expressed the idea that has now become a nation's conviction, and that is; that if we are to sell abroad. wS most buy from people beyond our own borders. And so anything that tends to unite nations more closely In the com mercial bonds, must necessarily help those interested in foreign trade." .Secretary Bryan expressed the con-: ylctlon that the new currency law would do more to promote trade in for eign lands than any oth-r thing that has been done In American history. -The making of friends for Americana In foreign countries, was another step taken by the administration to en courage America's foreign trade, ac cording to Secretary Bryan. In this connection he referred to President Wilson's speech at Mobile. Ala., last fall, to the effect that the United States would never take another foot of land by conquest, saying .that It had done more to encourage American commerce than any speech ever delivered before. By that speech, he said, the president opened the doors of all the weaker na tions to the Invasion of American cap ital and enterprise. Secretary Bryan asserted that the great fear of the weaker nations with which the United States seeks to establish trade is that an army will follow business enter prises. Another step in -the movement, tie secretary said, was that the adminis tration Is trying to unite the world In bonds of universal peace. He declared that when the United States invites foreign nations to adopt arbitration treaties, ""'it does more for our nation's commerce abroad than It can do In any other way." Secretary Redfleld epitomised the op portunity before this country. "If there Is one thing European manufacturers dread as regards the future of their own business." he declared, "It Is that America shall awake to her privilege and her power. If anything was wanted to give us confidence in our power; It is what we have done in export trade In the past year and are now doing at a time when the buying power of Europe is less because of much depression and her competing power Is great because of this depression." liOTIIIIIG FORMAL, YET i Bat Something Definite is Soon From Niagara Falls. Washington. May 28. At the Whl House it was said today that no formal agreement for the pacification of Mex-iV ico naa neen received from Niagara Falls. The reports of the American! delegates, which have been coming ln at each stage of the negotiations, how- ever, have been so favorable that thef situation, it was said, would permit as-? sembling the decided points into the form of a definite agreement very soon.i Representatives of the constitution- alists conferred with Secretary Bryan i assun toaay ana reiterated that steps were being taken to definitely estab lish relations for the Carransa element with the Niagara Falls conference. They added that constitutionalist dele gates, if they go, would have the same rights and powers as are enjoyed by the American delegates.

TIIE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRITAK THOIISDAY EVllIjU.O HAY 3, CAUGIIFf SHELL And Congress Awarded Samuel Grimshaw Medal for Valor.. One of First Trophies Present ed to Memorial Hall. Because lie caught a rebel shell and hurled It down hill, far away from his regiment, Samuel Grimshaw, corporal to Co. B. Fifty-second Ohio infantry volunteers, received a bronze-gold medal from congress "for valor." Mr. Grimshaw is one of the bent and gray haired veterans in Topeka this week. The medal he presented to the Kansas state historical society. Although there rere more than 2.000 regiments in the Civil war. congress presented only 1.200 medals "for valor." The medal is a five-pointed bronze star washed in gold, the points interwoven with laurel leaves c- green enamel; in the medallion is the head of a Roman soldier; the design swings from the "valor" insignia, held in the claws of an eagle. On the reverse is engraved "The Congress to Corporal Samuel Grimshaw." Corporal Grimshaw has looked in vain for a Umilar medal among the 5.000 old soldiers here for dedicatory services. In a series of skirmishes near Atlanta In August, 1864, a twelve-pound shell was fired into the midst of Corporal Grimshaiw's line. Catching the bomb in his arms, the corporal, at the risk of his own life, pitched it down an embank ment, saving many of his comrades Women's Trade Union league and Bear era! civic bodies.

Reorganization of the board of home missions of the Presbyterian church in a manner to satisfy most of its critics in various synods and Presbyteries was accom plished here, when the report of the standing committer on home mis sions, presenting a plan of reorgan ization, was adopted by tJ.e general assembly with little discussion. The plan, specific details of which will be worked out by the new board, en larges the board from 24 to 30 mem bers; takes the management' from a general secretary and places it in the hands of four or more co-ordinate secretaries, leaves general headquar ters in New York City but gives the west the headquarters of the church extension department and allows synods and Presbyteries supervision over home missions in their territory. On the approval of the report the assembly at the call of Moderator Alexander rose and sang "Old Hun dred," with its message of "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." The use of non-alcoholic wine in the Sacrament of the Lord's supper was recommended in a supplemental report from the committee on tem perance and the report was adopted by the assembly.

Instructions to American Consul Letcher at Juarez to furnish the state department with additional information to complete the record as far as possible, in the case of Gustav Bauch, the American railroad mechanic arrested by the constitutionalist authorities at Juarez, Feb. 18 last, and who later disap peared, was the foundation of a re port that the department is about to reopen the case, and also the Benton case. The purpose was explained today as being to close it up by procuring a few fragments of information still available regarding his disappearance from the Juarez prison. There Is no known intention of making any fresh representations at this stage, al though without doubt the Bauch case will figure in the final adjustment of claims to be preferred against the Mexican government when peace is restored. Bauch disappeared two days after his arrest and friends who visited the Jail with food and bedding could get no trace of him. It is gen erally supposed he was executed. HAS WAITED 67 YEARS 'Apple Mary'' Always Expected Re turn of Her Sweetheart. New York, May 28. After sixty seven years of waiting for the return of her sailor sweetheart, who Bailed as the third officer of an American merchantman, on a voyage to China with her promise to marry him on his return, "Apple Mary" Walsh, 84 years old, has decided to desert her station at the battery for more comfortable quarters on Blackwell Island. The heat led "Apple Mary" to reach her decision. She asked a policeman to arrest her that she might spend the summer in the workhouse. She was taken before a police magistrate who after hearing her story, commit ted her as requested. "Apple Mary" said that she received a letter from her sailor boy a year after- he sailed. After that no trace of his ship was ever recorded but she always expected to meet him some day at the Battery where they parted on the day he sailed in 1847.

A faith In God that makes them capable of hand ling poisonous reptiles without fear of injury f is one of the tenets of the "snake eaters" worshipers, a religious organization which has been holding meetings In Dodge. The poisoning and death of members of the' band as a result of handling the snakes and prose cutions by the authorities have not broken up the organization, which now claims a membership scattered over southwestern Kansas and Oklahoma. The presence of the members of this cult were revealed by the calling of the officers to quell a disturbance that broke out as a result of "revelations" made by one of the "speakers." The "True Disciples of Christ" Is what the members call themselves and a part of their service consists of "testimony" given by the members In words which only the one who speaks through the will of the Lord can interpret. The hair pulling that was staged was a result of the interpretation given by one of these speakers, Mrs. Mary Os teen. a widow of Bloom, which reflect ed on the morality of Mrs. T. A. Cov ington. Mrs. Covington indignantly denied that she was guilty of a sinful spirit, as charged. The He was passed and Immediately the meeting was In an uproar. The hostess seized the speak er by the hair. Four other members, including Mrs. Covington's- husband and a son-in-law. tried to unlock her fingers. Then somebody turned In a call for the officers. Mrs. Covington said there had been attempts on the part of her sister-in-law and Mrs. Osteen to "set her aside" from the church for some time. Her lack of acceptance of some of the de mands of the creed had been called a weakness in the faith, she said, and for five or six weeks there has been trouble. The favored few who can in terpret the words which are mumbled in the "testimonies," claim they can also make prophesies and revelations through divine power and It was one of these revelations that started trouble. "We believe that through faith we can handle snakes," said Mrs. Coving ton. "For in Luke he tells us that if we have faith we can raise up ser pents and not be harmed. "If doesn't say that people won't be bitten by serpents but if they are bit ten it only shows that their faith is weak, if they die they are only lay ing down their lives to the Lord and any of us are ready to do that." That this belief of divine protection has been put to the test for years in southwestern Kansas and sometimes with fatal results was admitted by mother and daughter. Fortunately for the mortality record, rattlesnakes are scarce in Kansas. Whenever a reptile Is found it is passed from hand to hand among the members. Even if some of the disciples are bitten It does not deter the others from testing the strength of their faith. At a meeting in Stafford county a few years ago, when twenty-five disciples were hold ing a test meeting, three of them were bitten. All three of the bitten ones recovered but the county authorities arrested the worshippers and took them to St. John. An attempt was made -to take the-miner children -of the worshippers from them, but failed. In Morton county, five years ago, Mrs. Covington stood beside a woman, Mrs. Will Talkington, who was bitten by a rattler and died. No physician was called, while the woman struggled in agony for 36 hours before her death. DATA GO TO WASTE. Preserved, It Would Reduce Crime One-Half, Says Prof Gault. Chicago, May 28. "Enough data on crime go to waste every year, in police departments, to reduce crime In the next year by 25 per cent, and to cut 'mystery crime to one-half." So as serted Robert H. Gault of Northwest ern university, vice president of the Illinois institute of criminal law and criminology in an address to the annual meeting; of the body. The detective ex ploits of Sherlock Holmes and Lecoq could be duplicated every day by uni versity trained scientists in charge of a criminology laboratory, the speaker declared. "Kvery instrument used in the commission of crime should be pre served and Its effect studied and re corded." said Mr. Gault. "Policemen, as crime doctors, are the least efficient of all artisans." said Dr. Hans Gross of the University of Gras, Austria. "A detective." he added, "is Bimply a policeman without a uniform. Detection of crimes should be put in the hands of scientists." OVERCOME BY SMOKE Fifty Firemen Collapse While Fighting Flames In Detroit. convened at the state-rifle range near Golden.

GRAIN DEALERS MEET Discuss Compulsory Inspection Other Topics All Optimistic Kansas City. -May 28. Two matters of importance to the Kansas Grain Dealers' association occupied the at tention of that organization at the second day- of their convention Thursday. Compulsory state In spection of grain was one, and. the fee system provided by the state for man ufacturing grain products was the other. Following a banquet. Thursday at which the Kansas City board of trade members were hosts, the con vention came to a close, except for an executive business session which will be held today. The inspection of. grain in Kansas, from the standpoint of the state gov ernment, was laid before the dele gates by George B. Ross of Topeka, chief grain Inspector, of the state. The grain dealers maintain that a fee of 75 or 80 cents per car tor in spection serves no good purpose in those cases where the grain in shipped to Chicago or other markets. James Robinson of Potter, Kan., presented the second subject upon which the grain dealers are protest ing when he discussed whether the fee of $10 is necessary for the privi lege of making each variety 'of chop. Optimism over the crop outlook in Kansas prevailed in the convention. TRIPLETS GRADUATE. Were Members of High School Class at Humboldt. Humboldt, Kan., May 28.

"He never answered our commands and he didn't- make any move to come out of the hall. His hands were at his side. At the last command he dropped his right hand back. I thought he was reach ing for a revolver and fired at him."

He denied declaring "I got him," as two witnesses pro duced by the state had said. FARMERS TO FEDERATE. George Plumb Cans Meeting for Forming Permanent Organization. Emporia, Kan., May 28.
