That Kansas is more fertile than the valley of the Nile and rivals the Garden of Eden was the assertion of George H. Hodges, governor of Kan sas, in speaking this morning at the auditorium before those in attendance at the annual meeting of the Kansas Funeral Directors' association. Gov ernor Hodges was thus carried away on the wings of ecstacy as a result of his recent trip through northern Kan sas with the Red Line officials. "Kan sas Is a regular paradise of the beau tiful," he said. Mary L. Gates of Rosedale, for Fifteen Years Treasurer Kansas Funeral Directors' Association.

This seventeenth annual meeting of the funeral directors is proving a suc cess in every particular. This after noon the visitors were taken on a trip through the Santa Fe shops. The banquet tendered at the Masonic hall Tuesday evening by the local commit tee was a "happy" affair. I M. Pen well presided. Informal talks were given by Presi dent Harvey, M.

Tonight the traveling men will pre- viae entertainment at tne auditorium. There will be music and dancing as wen as otner aiversions.

Bomgardner of Topeka. H. K. Eicholtz of Abilene, Charles Whitney of Solo- man and K. c. Daniels of Kansas City. Mr. Eicholtz, who is now first vice president of the organization, is often spoken or as "Jim Jeffries s double." Some of the Kansas funeral men had some fun with him a few years ago at St. Louis when on the return trip from a national convention. They an nounced at the hotel that Jim Jeffries had arrived. They put Eicholtz In a hack and paraded him on the streets as being no other person than the pu gilist Jim. L. M. Penwell. secretary and Mary L.

Johnson of Hutchinson spoke tnis morning on "wnat the Under Continued w Pin Two.) lil1 On Board U. S. S. California, Mazat lan, June 16. Via San Diego, June 17. The constitutionalist gunboat Tampico was sunk today by the federal gunboat Guerrero in twenty-two fathoms of wa ter, leaving the Guerrero the sole sur viving warship representing either fac tion on the west coast of Mexico. The battle began at 8:20 a. m. aud lasted until noon. The rebels lost ten killed and ten wounded; the federals none. In despair at the outcome, Captain Malpico and his chief engineer, after fighting with great bravery against heavy odds, com mitted suicide. The Tampico. which was on the way from Topolobampo to Mazatlan, was in o condition to fight when the more heacvily armed Guerrero, bound south rrom Guaymas, In chase over hauled her. Captain Malpico appealed to the American destroyers, Perry and Preble, which were following the Mexican vessels, for a tow to Altata, when the Tampic hoped to take ref uge in shallow water. The laws of neutrality prevented the American commanders from com plying, but the Perry and Preble and the cruiser New Orleans, which was accompanying them, were able to save many from drowning, as the Tampico sank, and to give surgical aid to the wounded. After her victory, the Guerrero headed south for Mazatlan, where she will be of great service to the be leaguered federal garrison in prevent ing the army under General Obregon occupying commanding positions. Was Sunk June 11. Washington, June 17. In the naval en gagement which took place off Topolo bampo in which the rebel gunboat Tampico was sunk by the Guerrero some of the crew of the Tampico were rescued by the New Orleans, which had accompanied the Guerrero southward. Others were rescued by the Guerrero. The surgeon on the New Orleans gave aid to the wounded and assisted in the care of the Injured on both sides, co operating with the staff of the federal gunboat. This is the second time the constitu tionalist warship has suffered at the hands of the federal navy. The Tampico was sunk on June 11 and only yester day was repaired so that she could move under steam. The Guerrero is nearly twice the size of the Tampico and her ordnance is at least 60 per cent more powerful. The Guerrero was built in England by Vlckers-Maxim in 1908 and was a ves sel of LS80 tons, with six 4-inch guns and two 3-pounders. She has a speed of 12 knots. The Tampico was built at Elizabeth, N. J., in 1902. She Is of 1,000 tons dis placement and carries four 4-inch quick firing guns and four 6-pounders. Both vessels were designed as combi nation gunboats and transports to meet the peculiar needs of Mexican service and were able to carry about 500 men in the case of the Guerrero and 250 on the Tampico. It is believed by staff of ficers here that the victorious Guerrero, now that she has destroyed the princi pal naval strength of the constitution alists on th3 west coast, will be able to greatly interfere with their siege opera tions against Mazatlan and even as far north as Guaymas. American Officials See Naval Battle. Washington, June 17. The Huerta gunboat Guerrero defeated and sank the constitutionalist gunboat Tampico near Mazatlan, according to a report today, from Rear Admiral Howard. The captain and engineer of the Tam pico committed suicide. The naval battle was witnessed by the United States ships New Orleans, Perry and Preble. No details were re ported. A long dispatch was received at the White House from the American dele gates at the Niagara conference which officials said did not change the situ ation. Beyond expressing the view that there was hope of the ultimate success of the mediation, officials did not com ment on the situation. Both the war and state departments and the White House disclaimed hav ing any official Information on the re ported break between Carranza and Villa.

SJtFP DRIES E1URD STK1Y Says He Isn't in Fight Against National Prohibition. Calderhead Platform Is Beyond Ducking Tear Periods. If the Republicans return to power In Kansas this year and regain control of the state legislature, A. M. Keene of Fort Scott will be a speakership candi date. The Bourbon county lawyer was a member of the house during the 1911 13 sessions and this year he will have no opposition from the Democrats in his fight for re-election. Keene Is the first Republican to be mentioned in connection with the 1915 speakership. Several Democrats, how ever, have already been suggested as probable candidates In event the Demo crats again carry the state and control the house. Miles H. Mulroy of Ellis, state hotel inspector and speaker pro tern, in 1913, will be a candidate for the speakership if returned to the leg islature. Robert 8. Hendricks of Raw lins county, Taylor Riddle, Marion county; J. A. Mahurin, Coffey county; J. W. Schlicher of Sheridan countty all are Democratic possibilities in the fight for speaker. In Topeka today, Keene admitted that he would seek the speakership if the Republicans held the balance of power in the house next winter. He has made an excellent record in the two terms he served during the two sessions. In the session of 1913, Keene stood with Brewster and Stone as the leaders of the minority forces. Keene has always been recognized as a clean, fair fighter and a man of force and con victions. This year the Democrats will not enter a candidate In the field against the Fort Scott lawyer and Keene' s only fight to succeed himself will be to secure more votes than a Progressive candidate who has an nounced for the legislature. Whether the Republicans win or lose control of the next house, Keene is quite certain to be a members and his work of four (Continued on page 2.)

Michael Murphy, a merchant policeman, employed by neighboring business men, held up his hand as a warning, signal. Murphy was not in uniform and the chauffeur paid no attention to him. Apparently angered at the inattention Murphy fired one shot at the automobile.

Business Men Are Writing Letters to the President. Washington, June 17. As one re sult of President Wilson's denuncia tion of what he characterized as a deliberate campaign to spread abroad the idea that business is in the dol drums the White House has begun to receive letters from the manufac turers and others throughout the country taking the president's view that a psychological depression has been created. One letter circulated by a St. Louis hardware company de clared: "Our sales up to date this year are just three-fifths of one per cent less than the same period last year and if June business continues to increase as it has done so iar, we will gain j this three-fifths and probably finish the first naif year wun a gain. r.:oot:G 6Ar:.Es.

THEC1 6AS EiS VJIS V.ECXED Settled Down a Hill 48 Miles From Portland. i The Men Walked 18 Miles Through Thick Undergrowth. r Portland, Ore., June 17. Roy Don aldson and Wilbur Henderson, pilot and aide of the ballooa Springfield, are safe. The men, for whom rangers and searching parties hater been combing the woods for days, staggered into the forest rangers' camp sit Walker's Prai rie today. I Homer Williams and A. Mitchel, the forest guards stationed at Walker's Prairie, were astonishsd when the two lost aeronauts stumbled into their camp, their clothing hanging in shreds. The men staggered up one of the paths leading from a nearby creek and fell exhausted at the cabin door. "Who in thunder are you?" asked Mitchel, springing to his feet. Donald son and Henderson told him. The rangers had been instructed by C. L. Henson, chief ranger st the Bull Run district, to look for the balloonist s. They at once set out a meal and made the aeronauts comfortable in every way possible. The Springfield came down on the side of a steep hill near Blue Lake. This is about 4S miles northeast of Portland They Had No Matches. Unlike the three other crews in the race which was started from Portland last Thursday Donaldson and Hender son did not have to dodge the spikes of pine trees in coming down. But they had their heaped up share of hardships when they started to come in. One of the most discouraging dis coveries came when- they searched through their kits and found no matches. They struck out at once for the nearest stream and started follow ing it westward. At Bight, the cold mountain air cut them to the marrow of their bones. They could not build a fire and had to eat what canned food they had raw. The 18 miles walk to Walker's Prairie was one of extreme hardships. A network of thick undergrowth and fallen trees disputed every foot of the way. No attempt was mada Xo save the .balloon. iM BpnngiMia wne xoreea to de scend at 8 o'clock IasfFriday morning on a rocky slope of Table Mountain, about 18 miles on a direct line from Walker's Prairie--ranger station. Tne aeronauts nad wandered until this morning, living on half rations of uncooked food. Donaldson said the balloon was wrecked. Four Days of Wandering. -After the balloonista landed Friday they started to find their way to a settlement. All day Friday. Saturday. Sunday and Monday they wandered through the trackless forest Yester day morning they struck a creek which they decided to follow and in the evening they came across a path constructed by United State forest rangers. They camped on the trail and early today arrived at the ranger station. Neither in in a serious condition. They were forced to land on the slope of Table Mountain owing to being un able to pass over its peak. They hit a clearing but the balloon dragged along the jagged rocks and was badly torn. Members of the Portland Rose festival aero committee which con ducted the race under the auspices of the Aero Club of America were elated BOn and Henderson. Every one of the four balloons in the race Uncle Sam, Million Popula tion ciud, .Kansas city ill and Spring- field met with disaster, and their pilots and aides narrowly escaped with their lives.

Binders valued at a quarter of a million dollars and vast quantities of binding twine have been shipped from Topeka this season to the har vest fields of Kansas. The volume of business done is vstimated to be at least a third greater than last year. The binder trade in Kansas this season has been the greatest in the history of the state, according to the implement dealers. The demand for twine has been so great that for a time the supply was exhausted. There Is a sufficient supply in Topeka to last a week, but there is serious danger of a shortage. However, later when the harvesters in Oklahoma and southern Kansas have complete'! their work the twine factories may oe able to meet the demand here. The factories are working over time to produce the twine. Strip 1.600 Binders. In speaking; of the trade in binders and twine, Thomas E Donnellan, general agent for the International Harvester company at Topeka, said today: "We have shipped 1,600 binders and two and a quarter million pounds of twine this season, and we are now working day and night trying to get the materials out. The demand will be exceptionally heavy for another week at least. "There has been a one-third in crease in our business in binders and twine. We were short of twine for a while, but we now have enough on hand to last a week. The factory supply is exhausted. As soon as the southern demand lets up we may be amle to provide more twine from the factory to relieve the situation. VILLA IS SULKING Rebel Chieftain Remains at Torreon With His Army Althongh Ordered to Move For ward by Gen. Carranza. EI Paso, Tex., June 17. General Villa, through his agents here, issued today a general denial that there had been any split between himself and General Carranza. He said that the arrest of the Carranza officials at Juarez had been the result of a mis interpretation of the orders on the part of Colonel Thomas Ornelas, in charge of the Juarez garrison. El Paso. Tex. June 17. The bureau of information and the telegraph office at Juarez, which have been in control of Carranza officials, have been taken over forcefully by soldiers under Colo nel Tomas Ornelas, military commander of Juarez. He is a supporter of Villa. Just after the bureau of information had announced to the American press the receipt of a message from the front above Zacatecas. Ornelas's soldiers en tered the office and ordered that no pa. per be touched. An American newspaper man was seated in the bureau when the soldiers burst into the room. The same sol diers, in personal command of the Juarez commander, shortly before had taken over supervision of the telegraph office adjoining. The American finally slipped through the line of soldiers and ar rived here. This act followed conflicting; reports from the south in regard to the suc cess of the troops under General Natera, Carranza appointee, in at tacking Zacatecas. Official reports from Natera had said that the attack was progressing successfully, while from other sources details were given of a rout. Ignores Orders. General Villa In the meantime has remained at Torreon.- although or dered to proceed to the assistance of Natera by General Carranza. It Is stated by Carranza officials that An geles,' the constitutionalist secretary of war, had- left Torreon with five thousand of Villa's troops, including a full division of artillery. Natera had complained of a lack of cannon. Villa remained at Torreon,. but was said to have begun a general move ment of his army toward Zacatecas. The information bureau at Juarez was instituted and sustained by Ra fael Zubaran, Carranza's cabinet min ister, who is representing the consti tutionalist party at Washington. The question of the supervlsorship of tel egraph, heretofore a service of na tional ownership, long has been dis puted between the Villa and Carranza elements according to authentic ports from Culiacan and Torreon. Since press reports received from the City of Mexico stating the consti tutionalists were routed at Zacatecas were confirmed by private advices re ceived here from the south, the con stitutionalist officials have been silent. The announcement by the informa tion bureau that an important bulle tin was to be announced caused gen eral anticipation which was, damp ened by the unexpected display o" martial power as Divorce Detroit New Tork, June 17.

Col Theodore Roosevelt appeared before' the Royal Geographical society to tell the mem bers and many of the most conspicu ous men in British public life how he put the .Duvida river on the map of Brazil. The society's theater in Burlington Gardens was packed. Those eager, to bear the former president would eas ily have filled the largest hall in Lon don, but he preferred a small audi torium, where an Intimate talk would be possible. The theater seats only even hundred, but the society issued more than a thousand cards, while at the sanle time it refused hundreds of applications.

KANSAS FARMER Heavy Foreign Shortages Will Bring Kansas and Oklahoma Farmers From 15c to 25c More Per Bushel For Their Wheat If They Wait For Their Market. Fvery shrewd farmer In Kansas and Oklahoma is going to have a chance this year to make a record profit on his wheat crop If he uses Judgment In marketing it- There has never In the history of wheat grow ing been a better opportunity for the local growers to secure good prices or surer demand for their wheat. It is advisable that this year the farmer should not sell too early. In nearly every foreign country that exports wheat, the' crop is short this year. Argentine alone has a shortage of upwards 70 million bushels. In In diana there is a shortage bf SO million bushels and In Hungary a short age of 32 million bushels, or a total of 162 million bushels in these three countries alone. To Just what extent the shortage amounts to In Russia and in other wheat raising countries, is not yet definitely known, but It Is safe to say, however, that none have prospects of even an average crop this year. On the other hand, according to the Government report of June 1st, the Indicated crop of the United States for 1914 will reach about 900 million bushels or 137 million bushels more than last year's crop. v Of course our crop may yet suffer some deteriorations but even If we assume that the crop is already made and that It will reach tbe 900 mil lion bushel mark. It will not be sufficient to jffaet the shortage of the 162 million bushels which Argentine, Indiana and Hungary has this year. Now we must take into consideration also the natural yearly increase In consumption that Is figured at about 3. per cent to S per cent and that means that this year the world will require from 160 to 260 million bush els more than what It did last year, so that together with the Argentine, Indiana and Hungary shortage, means a deficiency of between S00 and 400 mllion bushels that must be made up from the United States, saying nothing of other countries' poorer crop prospects and of the possibilities that our own Spring wheat crop may fall short of present brilliant figures. It is very evident, therefore, that there will be 4 shortage of at least ICS to 265 million bushels of wheat this year that will have to be found else where, and we know of no country that is capable of producing ft. From this It can be seen that this year the United States farmers eaa control the situation. Now the 'point is will our farmers particularly those of TTsnsas and Ok lahoma get the benefit of the consequent high price, or allow the profits to go to the speculator and manipulator who exploit the market through "short" sales and "hedge" selling in advance ef the harvest. Through tbe action of the Secretary of the Treasury, the farmer ts now able to finance himself at low Interest and he la not obliged to force his product on the market until the thne Is ripe. Wheat sold three weeks ago In Chicago at $1.00 a bushel Is selling to day for July delivery at 84c, or a decline of ISc a buaheL This on the prospective 000 million bushels means a' loss to the farmer of 150 million dollars.. Now If the farmers use business principles In marketing their wheat nd don't rush to sell as soon as thrashed, they net alone can save 1(0 million dollars, but will undoubtedly receive even a better price for their wheat than above mentioned., -i eJalMUS STATISTICAL DUHEAU (SelUng prices Topeka.

Jforel Money for Use of Federal Beserre Banks. FAYCH TO HARVEST LlttllS Eren Engraving on Paper Typ ical of Agriculture. An Effort to Hake All Paper Money More Uniform. Washington. June 17. Millions of dollars worth of paper money of a new type will be put into circulation upon me establishment or the federal re serve banks within the next few weeks. Under the federal reserve bank act each of the twelve federal reserve banks will receive advances from the federal reserve board in the form of federal reserve notes, a distinctly new sort or paper money. Commercial pa per will be the collateral advanced by the various banks as security for tnese notes. Comptroller of the Currency WiL- liams has samples of this new paper money now under consideration. At his request. Joseph E. Ralph, director of the bureau of engraving and print ing, prepared notes of $5, 110, $20, $50 and $100 denominations and these have been submitted to Secretary Mc Adoo. It is not likely, however that the sample will be officially accepted until the members of the federal re serve board have been confirmed by the senate and can confer with Secre tary McAdoo and Comptroller Wil liams concerning the new notes. At present no official of the treasury aepartment is able to make any esti mate of the amount of federal reserve notes which will probably be put into circulation this year. Federal reserve banks are required under the new law to keep gold reserves of not less than 40 per cent against federal reserve I notes in actual circulation. The amount of these notes required by the ienerai reserve oanics will depend largely on the amount of money re quired by member banks for the re discounting of commercial paper. Harvest Plans. Last year at harvest time Secretary McAdoo permitted banks In the west and south to borrow money on com mercial paper and about $37,000,000 was loaned. The immediate demand for federal reserve notes will probably be far in excess of that sum, as the harvest loans were limited .to the farming sections, while the entire United States will draw on the federal reserve board for monev to rediscount i agricultural. Industrial and commer cial paper. The money for harvest emergencies was limited to 28 states and none of it went to New Tork and New England. The new $5 note submitted by Mr. Ralph is typical of agriculture. Tho portrait on the face of the note is Lincoln s and the back shows a bar vesting machine and allegorical fig ures typical of farming. The $10 note bears a portrait of Cleveland and a manufacturing- scene.'' "The $20 bears Jackson's portrait and is typi cal of commerce, having a steamship. train and other mediums of trade on the back. Grant's picture is shown on the $50 note and Franklin's por trait adorns the $100 bill. Both of these larger bills are typical of the arts. Ail the bills will be printed in green ink on the back, while black ink will be used on the faces. More Uniformity Wanted. For some time the treasury de partment has been anxious to make all paper money more uniform. At present different portraits appear on different sorts of paper money of the same denomination. It is likely that the portraits selected for use on the federal reserve notes will also be used on other paper money. So in the fu ture all banknotes, gold certificates, silver certificates and federal reserve notes of $5 denomination will prob ably bear Lincoln's portrait and so on through the series up to $100. Of the forty per cent gold reserve banks maintain against' their out standing federal reserve notes, at least five per cent will be kept in the United States treasury for the re demption of such notes. It is pro vided under the new law that when one federal reserve bank receives fed eral reserve banknotes Issued by an other bank it r .urt return them im mediately to the issuing bank and s heavy penalty is provided for a bank which pays out notes other than its own.

Adv, TO THE PUBLIC t rrniTG State of New Tork. thronah its Department of Jl completed the examination of the .Metropolitan Life Inanran.ee Company which ft is required by law to make orery three years. The Chief Examiner, in concluding the report, said s "The treatment by mis Company of its policy-holders in the prcryt payment of their claims,. In .the voluntary payment of miiiinna of dollars in bonuses, and in its social welfare work aro features of the Company's business which deserve commendation." The Superintendent of Insurance, the Hon. William Temple Emmet In approving the report wrote an extended review from which we make extracts s THE COMPANTS GROWTH AND MANAGEMENT. V The administrative officers of the Company have so increased the assets of the -Company as to make these equal the resources of many states and even nations. They have at the same time steadily cheapened the cost of insurance to policy-holders, both by direct means and by the distribution of bonuses." Til report "hows that the Company luur riven back $35,367,293 m botmses to Industrial policy-holders in nineteen years. "They have extended the Company's business to such an extent as to bring it into contact now with approximately one-eighth of the population of the United States." (The number of policies omtstandmc December 31, 1913, was 1337,748. "That mis notable growth baa involved no sacrifice fln'ry in in fcflnf; nt arfmInttaHu details, but, on the contrary, has been the direct result of constantly increasing efficiency, is shown by the comparatively small losses sustained by the Company in proportion to the large investments made." ITS POLICY-HOLDERS SATISFIED: "The fact mat the percentage of lapses due to the abandonment of their insurance by policy-holders is constantly decreasing, speaks eloquently to the same effect-' The lapse ratio of Industrial policies has decreased 31.7 per cent, in eight years. "This last mentioned development is perhaps the most convincing evidence which could bo offered that the Company's policy-holders are, broadly speaking, very well satisfied indeed with what they get in return for the premiums they pay.

Perkins probably has it in for the party who put the "pinch" In Pinchot. "Genera.'.y fair" for this week in those parts was the prediction of the wiseacres in the weather bureau at Washingtor.

If any voman stili has ft sleeve of the 1897 model, advises ;th Clinton, Iowa, Heruld. she could use it as a skirt this year by making a little slit in the wrist. Surely Ii comes with bad grace for the fire '.nsurance companies doing business In Kansas to threaten to leave the state .if a case pending in the su preme court is decided against them. Nor will the refusal oT the United States supreme court to order his re lease on bail work much of a hard ship on Hirry Thaw. He's "in custody" at one of New' Hampshire's -delightful summer resorts. According to its numbers, says the Webster Oty, Ind., Journal, there are more doctois in the(Progresslve party than any other, and the services of each and every, one of them' are needed. Uniquely expressive criticism of President Wilson and his. policies fomea from Representative Hum phreys of Washington, who declares: "This is the day of triumph for intel lectual unlntelligence." Presumably the Democratic' candi dates for county offices are mora en thusiastic than any one else over the announcement that the Bull Moosers Intend to put a full ticket in the field In Shawnee county. States appear to be stronger for their rights than they are for their responsibilities. Now comes Montana with a request for federal troops to restore order in the copper mine dis tricts where a strike is on the boards. Few of the hoboes that might be shipped as freight from New York's Bowery to the Kansas wheat fields would likely be able to put in a day's work at harvesting even In the shade, let alone under a broiling sun. Dr. Shaw, tho suffragist leader, urges marriage vows to suit couples. And the adoption of such a reform would spell a final good by to the word "obey" in the marriage ceremony. It is on its last legs now, and It must have been inserted In the marriage service in the first Instance by a joke smith. If national prohibition does not come until the candidates of the Pro hibition party are placed In the seats of the mighty, and its leaders insist that this is the only way to make na tional prohibition a certainty, the ac compllshment of this reform is so far In the future as to be no more than a chimerical dream. In calling attention to letters that he alleges to be a part of a conspiracy on the part cf the "interests" to create a sentiment against the antitrust leg islation. President Wilson is evidently laying the foundation for that "gibbet of public opinion" .on which he prom ised to hang those who might attempt to develop a business depression dur ing his administration. Maybe President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan, both .of whom are politi cians of discernment, are Insistent on holding congress in session until all of the important, legislation on the Democratic program is disposed of, because they see a handwriting on the wall that foretells the probability of the election of Republican house of representatives this fall. v Present indications are that the "swat the fly" campaign has begun to bear fruit. .At any- rate, there seems to be. aa unusual shortage in the fly crop in these parts, at least. Every body is beginning to notice and remark about tt. Bat those who are reluctant to give credit to any kind of a reform movement are likely to attribute the scarcity of the flies to the unusually cool spring. FRANK JONES IS GONE. Frank Jones, v. fine type, is dead. No more faithful man ever served a newspaper. He was at the case, or In his chair before the machine, day after day. He would not take a vaca tion. Those longest with the State Jour nal can remember only once that he laid off for as much as a week at a time, and that was when he took a seven days' rest at the twentieth anni versary of his labors in this office. Only one man now with the State Journal has been with the paper con tinuously longer than was Jones; two years longer. This man can, in all that time, remember no unkind word or acv or difference between Jones and the office, save one. Here is the single in stance, and that does not count, as tho reader will see: Many years ago, so long that It had leeii forgotten, the memory of :-t only revived by the untimely taking oft, here set forth, there was a strike -imminent In the State Journal composing room. The proprietor thought the contention of the men, and of the one woman compositor, was unjust and unwar ranted. Members of Typographical Union No. 121, the Topeka charter number, held a different view and undertook to maintain and defend' it. It was a serious situation. The of fice was in hard lines; It believed the men wrong; it saw trouble, financial and vital.. It looked as if the paper might have to suspend temporarily, or get out a nominal issue, with little I news and much grief. I Counting on the loyalty and faithful- iness of Jones, the proprietor went to him und said: "Frank, are you going to stay with mc or are you going to walk out with the others?"' "Well," said he. "you know there is no difference between you and me. Whatever you say is all right with me, but I have my obligations to my or ganization, just as you have to yours, and I can't break with the union. There is no serious trouble in your office that could not be adjusted by you and your own employees. We could settle the difficulty readily, I think, between of fice and the shop, but some outside meddlers have stirred up this trouble and they have gone so far with it and gotten us into it to such an extent that I don't see how we are going ?o get out of it, regre. it as I do." But they did get out of it, both sides, and there was no strike or no walk out, and the paper got out as usual and things went on happily afterward. There never was a strike in the State Journal composing room, under the present management and the reason for it is: Frank Jones. He was a type. There are many on the State Journal' force like him; and where this type prevails and influences such as his gov ern there will be' no strike for differ ences are settled by conference, by conciliation or by arbitration not by force or strife, and waste and-' suffer ing, to both parties.' J Jones was constantly urged by his as sociates In the office to stop work and make a change of employment, but he stuck to his chair. Day after day his companions saw him growing weaker and weaker. He was urged to go to the Printers' Home at Colorado Springs, and if any man ever earned a place there,' Frank Jones' did, but still he worked. Though living but five blocks away, he rode on the street car and was helped down the 'steps in front of the office. Finally one day about six weeks ago two of his fellow workers said to him: "Frank, you must give up your work and take a rest; otherwise, you will die at the machine. Tou will prolong your life by quitting." "Tou have been talking to my doctor, said he. "Yes, we have, but only for your own good." On May 2 last he reluctantly took this advice and left never to return. He was conscious to the last few moments; his mind ever on his work to the end. Almost his last words were, to his wife: "Mamma, the machines seem not to be -running.;' While not able tc work for the past few weeks Frank Jones was on tho State Journal regular composing room list till he passed away. He neither resigned, nor was he relieved from duty, except temporarily, pend ing hoped-for recovery. "I am going to put on a 'sub,' said he to the foreman, "and return to my machine as soon aa I am able to do so, which I ope will be before long." Meanwhile, he told the "sub" that he thought there would be consider able work for her as it seemed ad visable for him to take a vacation and frequent rests for a while. He was anxious to work on Fridays and Saturdays, when he knew the office needed a larger force than on other days. He was loath to resign or give up a place he liked and had held with out reproach or criticism for more than a quarter of a century, and so he was faithful, steady, willing, serv ing a "regular" on tho State Jour nal till Death with his ruthless scythe cut him from the field of his endeavor. Sylvia Pankhurst seems bent on at taining the height of folly. She has undertaken a hunger and thirst strike, in or out of jail, until Premier Asquith consents to receive a suffragette depu tation. Inasmuch as the latter is a remote possibility, which Is well known to Miss Pankhurst. her nlan would appear to be nothing; more than of the suicidal variety, and by a slow and rather terrible route. As such, it gives confirmation to the theory that most of the people who attempt sui cide, or succeed at It, are Insane. Journal Entries Many persons do their best work under pressure.

Good friends have the habit of treating each other rather shabbily. If every man had his own way there'd be much more trouble in this old world.

He was a wise man who character ised the activities of a doctor as prac tice. Now is the season when the people who were wishing a few months ago for summer are sighing for winter. The Evening Story Vera Goes Fishing. N (By Olive Roberto Barton.) There had been a time with the Wigleys, when their little house of four rooms was bright from roof to kitchen with floral carpets and wall Paper and varicolored upholstering on all the furniture. The soap business prospered, and Mrs. Wigley learned. Their next house of eight rooms had nothing flor al In its adornment. Instead, the rugs everywhere had perfectly evident oriental medallions, that might almost have been genuine, the parlor discard ed for a living room, and the furniture so monotonously on the mission style that it might have ail been turned out of a carpenter shop. Besides there was an evidence of brass that was aston ishing. The soap business continued to pros per, and Mrs. Wigley continued to learn. Next came a still larger house with real Eastern rugs, rich dull mahog any, a very limited amount of bronze, and good pictures. The soap business finally outgrew itself and Mr. Wigley now having a dozen irons in the fire to open the money pots of the people, the Wig leys had forged ahead indeed. Their home was now a mansion, the fur nishings the wonder of feature sup plements, servants in such numbers as to be spoken of as "a body," and the family was often abroad or at the country home. Vera Wigley, an only daughter, had passed through as many vicissitudes in her upbringing as the home itself. At four she had played happily in the alley with the Mulligans -next door. At twenty-four, she had her own French maid, her own apartments at home, her own limousine- and chauf feur and exquisite clothes from Eu rope. Mrs. Wigley kept pace with her daughter and was a very elegant per son, to say the least. But Pa Wigley was still Pa Wigley, eating peas no. not with his knife, but with a spoon, and insisting on wearing slippers In the house. He was the millstone around the social neck of Mrs. Wigley. No amount of traveling, lecturing, tutor ing nor pleading could polish him. He was hopeless. Just as soon as Mrs. Wigley obtained a foothold upon the social ladder, pa would slip and trip them all. Her despair was the more complete since- Vera, too, had decided tojdo. Jier own thinking of late. In spite of her French maid, she Was beginning rno show decidedly plebeian traits evi dently inherited frotn her father. It had been much wjfe since their 4r" rival at the country-llijoiise. The two had acquired- the habit of putting on old shoes and tramping" for miles over country roads. Vera's complexion was being ruined! And only yesterday- Mrs. Wigley's eyes were still threatening to run over at the very thought she had discov ered them both back in the garden digging for worms to go fishing. Mr. Wigley had explained unblushingly that he wasn't using -his other stuff (referring to his expensive outfits of rods, reels and flles'on 'display in the gunroom) because" he didn't know what the "blame, things", were for' He and Vera had hickory poles he had cut on some of their rambles. "It just means,"" Bobbed the un happy lady, "that our names will nev er go through at the Country club. What will people think of us? The very servants are laughing!" But the most agonizing thought of all was about the earl's youngest brother! In some manner they had managed to meet him In Europe the previous spring and he had seemed to like Vera. When Mrs. Wigley heard he was at present a guest of the Jack Turners, their nearest neighbors, she planned. a. wonderful campaign. Things just now were at a standstill, however, pending the decision of the Country club, i True the earl's youngest brother was plain Mister but even so! It was all too dreadful! And Mrs. Wigley cried again. Dear knows where her husband and daughter were now. Tramping again or fish ing! At 6 o'clock the wanderers had not returned. "I know just how Vera will look," declared her mother. "Really, I'm ashamed for -even' Marie to see her." She paused.. "Here they come now. Heavens! There Is some one with them. Who in the world can they have picked up at this time of day?" She stood on the broad terrace that overlooked the rolling velvet lawn. Three persons had turned In at the big iron gate and were passing the lodge Just inside the entrance. "It's a man in a cap! He's got a rod. too! TJm-htim! Some tramp they've picxea up fishing, or course! I simply can't stand this much longer. And just look at Vera! She's a fright, and laughing like a ninnie at something the fool's saying."- The "fool" evidently did not agree with Mrs. Wlglev, for. he seemed to have eyes for nothing else In the world but pretty, toosled Vera. In her broad hat and rumple white linen dress. As the trio approached the steps, an electric shock shot up Mrs. Wig ley's spine and down again. She felt suddenly faint and leaned against a pillar for support. She had recog nized the "tramp" as the earl's brother. Mrs. Wigley had never stopped learning. One of the- things stamped Indelibly on her brafn was never to show your feelings! Smile! She had saved the day many a time bv smiling. There was the time Mr. Wigley had shaken hands with the Jones's butler. Just now the sky and trees were spinning, the terra cotta paving of the- terrace was rolling away In great waves, but the earl's youngest brother saw only a pretty, amiable woman smiling; a welcome, and graciously holding out her hand. "You remember Mr. Templeton. mamma, don't you?" Vera was say ing." "We've had splendid luck fishing- We're aa hungry as hunters, too. and persuaded Mr. Temnleton to miim to dinner. Oh. don't woi ly about your clothes," she begged when La apolo gized. "Mother will tell yon we are in tho country now and everything goes. Won't you.--mother r And Mrs. Wigley learned something more. It was that the more you know, the more you know that you don't know.. There were few things' that she didn't know, as she discovered that evening. They were all on the terrace enjoying the moon. Suddenly the young man declared impetuously. "It's ceitainly fine to know genuine Ameri cans. Do you know. Mrs. Wigley." confidentially, "you have no idea how many. Americans with money are are making monkeys of themselves trying to play society instead of living real wholesome lives. "That's why X like Jack Turner and his wife. They are nature lover. like yourselves. And pardon me. Miss Vera--I don't believe I ever saw any one so natural and so beautiful as your daughter was out In the boat this af ternoon!"

Alfred Tuftenes, first officer of the collier Storstad, took the witness stand again today when the Empress of Ireland wrecrc inquiry was resumed, and Butler As pinall began his cross-examination on behalf of the Canadian Pacific rail way, owners of the Empress. The witness was in charge of th collier immediately prior to the colli sion. Tuftenes said he did not know whether the master of the Storstad got a bonus for "a speedy trip -with coal for the Dominion Coal company between Sydney and Montreal. Cap tain Andersen of the Storstad was sit ting in the rear of the court, was asked about it and replied in the neg ative. The witness admitted that the ship was unloaded at night at Mon treal: "Time is apparently important, then?" asked the attorney. Tuften- sen conceded that it seemed to be. He denied that the Storstad navigated in the fog for one half and a- half prior to first -seeing the mast ;head lights of the Empress. When the lights came into view, he said, the Empress was about six miles away and on 'a "half point on the Storstad s port bow. She was pur suing a course -across the collier's bow. Witness said at the end of fifteen minutes the. -Empress had changed her course and was about one point on the port bow of the Storstad. He said he ordered the 'helm aport and a little later hard aport, the ob ject being to keep the ship from swinging to port.' The witness was inclined to blame the current for swinging the ship. He said he did not hear the Empress blow two long blasts. Finding. the helm would not act he put his -$ngines ahead but the engines were not working long enough to give the ship headway, he said. V; WAIT Oil VASIIIIIGTOII American Peace Delegates Send Ixng Message to Headquarter. J Niagara Fall',' Ju'ne 1 l7.-On ward from the Washington' government de pends the next move in mediation. Justice Lamar and Frederick W. Lehmann telegraphed today a two thousand word report on 'their con ference yesterday at Buffalo with Ra fael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, au-t thorized representatives of General Carranza in the United States. A general feeling here that the United States may change its policy has been produced by the attitude of Zubaran and Cabrera, and reports of friction between Carranza and Villa, a rupture in Sonora between Govern or Maytbrena and General Obregon. and constitutional reverses,, on land and sea. Emilio Rabasa, head of the Huerta delegation, said today that he and his associates would do every thing in their power to prevent a break in negotiations. He suggested a neutral be proposed for the provision al presidency and that the United States recognize him. He declared a person of capacity and honesty would be chosen, and after recognition by the United States, funds and arms I could be obtained. The American- delegates made no comment on tho situation, saying they were waiting to hear from President Wilson and Sec retary Bryan. iiAr:.E$ co:.:iiig in. Fans Are Suggesting New Title for Baseball Club. Apparently the fans of the city agree with Dick Cooley and the members of the Topeka baseball club in declaring that the name Kaws is a "Joner." In the first mail today were three letters from good and well known fans of the city who have other names to suggest. Charles Joslin. one of the most active members of the Booster and Rooters club, made the first suggestion, E. W. Hutchins, commonly known as Hutch, was the second, and Calvin Brewer was 'the third man. Contrary to usual practice, these letters were opened and the following suggestions were found: Charles Joslin suggested the name of Cooley's White Sox; atr. Brewer sug gested the "D. C.1 club and Hutchins suggested the name Athletics. Hutch ins is a great admirer of Connie Mack and his world champions of Philadel phia of the American League, and be lieves it will be perfectly right and proper to. borrow the name, at least for temporary use. The players on the club and Dick Cooley, the manager, will not enter in competition in selecting a. new name. Sport McAllister still clings to the idea that the club should be called the White Elephants. WANTS TO SEE 'EM HUH Firebug I'naMe to Control Desire for a Blase. Kansas City, June 17.

FLO TCLK TO DELEGATES Speaker,. Presents Conclusions of Social Hygiene Association. "Large Minority of Wayward Girls From Good Families. Chicago, June 17. The vice traffic, and tight skirts were att. eked in the resolutions adopted by the Federation Of Women's Clubs. The resolutions briefly: Recommend simple, becoming and modest designs in dress. Offer the service of the home eco nomics division to further the Smith Laver bill in congress to establish a bu reau of home economics. Favor increased appropriations for state and city boards of health. Urge university extension work for the prevention of disease. Promise to co-operate with children's bureaus In employing nurses. Request children's bureaus to prepare pamphlets fc. mothers on sex instruc tion for the children. Approve state laws making manda tory the reporting of venereal disease. Approve abatement 'and injunction law in the suppression of immoral re sorts. -Some Plain Talk. George J. Kneeland did some very plain and unexpurgated talking to th delegates and left them wilted but en lightened. Mr. Kneeland is director of the de partment ot Investigation of the Amer ican Social Hygiene association. His remarks were based on statistics gath ered by bis department and on the re ports of investigations. He found that a prolific source of supply to commer cialised vice comes from girls between the ages of 16 and 18 years, the dan gerous age ot the development of the racial instinct, and that a startling minority of these come from homes other than those of poverty and ignor ance. t-. Mr. Kneeland's agents in the last year have gathered complete histories of three hundred girls not yet profes sionally immoral, but well started on the downward path. Contrary to the general impression and the reports of some investigators that the majority of these girls are feeble minded or subnormal, Mr. Kneeland said that the majority of the girls were quite intelligent. From Good Families. "Some of them," he asserted, facing tne aeiegates squarely, "come from such homes as yours; their fathers are storekeepers, real estate agents, man agers of large enterprises, and one the daughter of a minister. Others are stenographers, shopgirls, ticket sellers. Some f Hva at home in idleness and ease. Their fathers own yachts and motor cars.. We have letters from them showing marked Intelligence and facility of exoression. We have photographs of others, and you will agree with me they are typical Ameri can girls, daughters of respectable and prosperous parents. "But it Is only fair to say that the majority are poor, coarse and ignorant, with a widj knowledge of evil and lit tle conceotion of arood -Ail through the reports of agents the speaker found certain character istics among the girls They were re bellious towards home and parents; they are suspicious and scornful of ooy inenas, wnom they call "boobs." "Desiring secrecy, they prefer to meet strangers and married men. They shrink from exposure, and while they present an innocent and demure front to their friends, they show themselves in their true colors to strangers," said the speaker. "Strangers come and go and married -men are like people living in glass nouses, tney say. Mr. Kneeland said that dancing and impassioned love scenes on the stage Intensified the Lex appeal. He told the women they could help save these misguided girls, and made the following suggestions: Ways to Help. "You can make some efforts to find these girls in your own town. They are there. Then, having found them, you can attach yourself to them wich bands of love and understanding. But you say, 'I don't know how to begin. I don't know how to act toward them or what to say." Yes, you do. The way. to know them is to study vour own heart, remember the days of your youth. The influence that pro tected you will, in the end, save them." You can give them healthy and sane instructions as to the mystery of life. You can warn them of disease, and the crime of abortion. Knowledge must drive out Ignorance. The evil must be supplemented by the good. Each one of you can have a powerful influence in providing amusements in your own community where the sex ap peal is eliminated. You can use your influence to bring about better economic and Industrial conditions so that fathers can be mas ters in their own home; so that the young men can marry early In life. You can. teach ignorant mothers and fathers so that they will love and un derstand their children more than they do. Boys Most Honor Womanhood. You can teach boys and young men to honor womanhood- You -can make them realise that young girls represent more than half of all future genera tions, that upon them depends .the health' and power of the race, that to injure a girl, take advantage of her racial Instinct at a critical moment is a crime against unborn generations. Men must learn to sacrifice themselves, if need be, for the good of the race. And last. You can use your influence to restore to the home the simple, yet powerful protection which grows out of the belief In the religion of our fathers. "The most complete solution of a man or woman's sex problem lies in vital, personal relationship to the Infinite and eternal God. This we must teach our sons and daughters." Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, of Texas, was re-elected and the entire ticket of tho nominating committee was. elected without opposition. Miss Margaret Woodraw Wilson daughter of the president, ted the dele gates in the singing of Edwin Mark ham's song. "Brotherhood." When Mr. Pennybacker introduced Miss Wilson. the delegates arose and waved and cheered her for ten minutes. t Miss" Wilson "Wnr Speak. "My father likes to have me inter vest myself in civics and all kinds of ercuu Betterment work," said Mfcn Wilson, daughter of the nresldent. here today. "He is greatly interested tne poor." Misa Margaret Wilson. Miss Wilson is here to speak to night before the convention.- Her subject is, "What the Federation Qan Do for Young Women of America." She will attend t -e conference to be held in a few days in Madison, Wis., on social settlement work.. The sessions of the federation today were largely devoted to discussing and planning the work cf the organisa tion. The report on Its endowment fund, the legislative committee con ference and reports o. industrial and social conditions, education, li brary extension and civics were scheduled for the day.

Convention Befases To Ee Ad joarned by Presiding OHeers. CIH rUYSJTPIS T1 L7T Continues on the Same Tnne for Two Honrs. Row Finally Is QneUed With None Serlonsly Hart. Toledo. June 17. First actual skir mish and a near-riot between admin-', lstration and insurgent factions of the Modern Woodmen of America that provoked a call for police and threatened to disrupt the convention took place at the session today. Though confusion prevailed for more than two hours and delegates, spectators and convention hall fur nishings all were roughly handled, no one was seriously hurt and the en counter ended with both sides occupy ing original positions. The trouole started whean Head Consul Talbot announced that because the credentials committee was not ready to report on delegates to be seat ed the convention could not proceed and adjourned until Thursday morn ing. Talbot put the question with the result that an uproarious response of ''noes" uefeated the endeavor. After explaining that the conven tion could not transact business until delegates eligible to participate were designated by the credentials commit tee, Talbot declared the meeting ad journed. Immediately chairs, tables, speak ers' stand and the piano were occupied by shouting protestors. Several en counters between regulars and insur gents, took place. 1 The Band Played On. When the delegates refused to leave the hall and both administration and insurgent leaders were determined to speak in the face of continuous tur moil, a band entered the contest of din and disorder playing, "This Is the L,ue," and extra police responded to the call sent in by regulars. From 9:05 to 11 a. m. the band 1 played the same tune, while regular and insurgent leaders shouted. At 11 o'clock the band was uelled and Past Heal Consul W. A. Northcott, of Springfield, 111., urged insurgents to leave the hall and reassured them that they would get a "square deal" in the convention. The convention then adjourned and the committee on credentials resumed its sessions. Completion of the competitive bat talions among the 45 teams of tho ari.iy of Foresters, Modern Woodmen of America, was announced by Gen eral John H. Mitchell. Toledo battalion No. 1 carried away the honors in the battalion drill. Camp No. of Rock Island, IIL. won the senior -prise o f 459 for the best; drilled team of sixteen men. in th camp No. 44S of Appleton won the purse of, $175. The Rock Island camp scored 99.42 per cent, which, breaks all records for military branches of a fraternal organisation. a wm chase Foreigners Come to Town Ex j pectlng Big Harrest Pay. Labor Commissioner Believes They Were Deceived. That eastern employment agencies have imposed on foreign and Ignorant workmen by advising them that they would receive higher wages than aie being paid in the Kansas harvest fields, is the charge -niaoe today by .VV. L. O'Brien, state labor commissioner. The first case of alleged deception practiced on Ignorant workmen cams j to light today when telegrams wera received from Ellinwood, stating thut men sent, irom xoungstown. Oh'.o, were demanding $4 a day when bit 12.50' wages had been quoted. .-Several telegrams were exchanged today between the state labor bureau and the men in charge of the harvest near Ellinwood. Twenty men sent to Ellinwood .demanded 14 a day and refused to work when offered $2.i and board. "Someone at Youngstown, Ohio, whether a contract labor agent or not we are at this time unable to say, has imposed on a party of Roumanians sent to Kansas for the harvest," said W. L. O'Brien, state labor commis sioner, today. "Last Thursday or Fri 1 ay v- Tin era n wired this department from Youngstown asking If work could be provided for 20 men. We wired that these men could get work at learned wages or (Z.50 a day and board If they reached Larned before June 17th. Monday, a party of 15 Roumanians, only one of whom could speak English, came to our office with the telegram sent to Tlneran. "Four of the men were stranded here and we had to feed them. If a contract labor agent has taken their money and sent them to Kansas with- out telling them the truth about con ditions as ft had been given to them in our telegram, there should be a way under the law to make the labor agent smart for the imposition he has prac ticed on these ignorant and practically helpless men."

The Denver sport writers claim that every club on the circuit is "after" the Bears. Well what of it, and aren't the seven other clubs justified No club in the world is entitled to win four pen nants in succession. Three is two many. We are "for" any club that whips the Bears but will admit they have a game on hand when they do it. This is not said or done with any malli-e toward the cub, its manager or members, but we believe in passing the milk. Sherman cf the Lincoln News claims the pitchers of the Tiger club have sore arms. Among thore who are suffering are "Lofty" Scroggins, Harry Smith and Count Dessau Not wishing the Tigers any bad luck, but if this report Is true, we invite Mr. Mullen to send this trio against the Kaws for the series in Topeka. And just think, "Lefty" Scroggins is said to be suffering more than any other. Oatfielder George Schirm of the Lin coln club, who broke an ankle during the first visit of the club to Topeka. has discarded his cane but will not take chances of another injury. He may not get back in the game before July 1. Sherman, the pitcher sent to the Drummers by Joe Tinker of the Chifeds, has been Fentenced to service in the Nebraska State League. The Lincoln club has released Catcher Meyer since securing the signed contract of BUI Rapp. Pitcher George Stevens, with the Omaha club, has been released, is- the report. It will be remembered that the Topeka club once had a pitcher named Stevens, Zoy not George. Pitcher Ilalph Glaze, with the Drum mers and formerly with the Topeka club, appears to be getting better and better. A Dcs Moines writer says that Mike Mowery is playing in the place of Joe Leonard at third base for the Pirates And the hunters are not allowed to shoot wild animals during the month of June. The attendance at Federal League parks is growing smaller and smaller and the clubs are making huge offers to induce players to jump organized baseball. 'Pears like the press agents are working overtime. The St. Joe Drummers made a bad showing on the trip just closed but this is no mystery when one learns that one of the St. Joe sporting editors was traveling with the club. St, Joseph News-Press: It's funny the way these ball towns in the Western League roast each other. Now the Wichita scribes are panning Topeka on account of the poor crowds that have been turning out for the games at the capital this season. It wasn't so long ago that Wichita was having the same 2H II it 0 1H .lakes Hcae-Bakis; Successful and Easy tJ trouble. It's Just as another writer says: If Wichita, or any other town In the league, had a team that lost six teen straight games the attendance would be little if any better. Now that the Kaws have a new manager it may be that the team will be r Juvenated, and if it does take a spurt toward the top it is a safe bet that the fans in Topeka will turn out in large numbers to see the team play. St. Joseph is no exception. Even though this la a good ball town, the crowds were slow about starting in this year, but now that they have the fever again the attendance is back to normal. Fans everywhere like to see a winni.-g team, and so long as the home club goes good they will patronize it. Frank Isbell of the Des gives all his old baseballs to the playground association of Des Moines and they are distributed among the "kids." It is evident that Isbell intends to spend the remainder of his life in baseball and Is making fans while they are yet young. SECOND YALE-HARVARD GAME. Crimson Victory WB Canse Them to Play Third Contest. Cambridge, June 17.

Harvard had strong hopes of a victory which would necessitate a third game to de cide the year's honors. MISSOURI RIVER HIGH. Grad ual Rise Threatens Oops in the Lowlands. Atchison. Kan., June 17. Farmers living in the Missouri river bottoms are fearful of a. flood. The river has risen co? tinuously in the last 24 hour and is itill rising. Another foot of rise would result in serious damage to the crops in the lowlands. River men say that the crest of the flood will reach Atchison tonight or TRursday morning and that it will bring a rise of at least a foot..

Champaign, I1L, June 17. Suspend ed 29 years ago because he was an agnostic and would not attend chapel, Foster North, of the class of -'86 re ceived his degree of bachelor of science from the University of Illinois today. North was working his way through the university back in the eighties. It was his ambition to become a govern ment entomologist. He lived in a room that cost him $5 'a term and exam ined each nickel carefully before he spent It. He was forced to take leave of absence for one year to earn money to complete his course. In spite of his narrow means and close attention to his studies North began to acquire a campus reputation as the man who never went to chapel. Attendance was compulsory in those days. Selimh Peabody, then president of the university, called North on the carpet, but the student was firm. "I am an agnostic," he said. "I will not go to chapel." "Write a statement that chapel at tendance is repugnant to your relig ious convictions and that will suffice," said Dr. Peabody. "I will not. I have no religious con victions. I am an-agnostic- I simply will not attend chapel," -said North. He was suspended forty, days before he was to have .graduated. President Edmund J. James of the university came upon the papers in North's old and forgotten case a short time, ago when he was engaged in rounding up the old alumni for a homecoming. He wrote to North in Chicago and urged him to visit the university. North, embittered by a vain fight that had taken his last dollar years ago and had ended only in the state supreme court, to compel the univer sity to give him his degree, replied curtly that all he wished the univer sity to do was to forget him. Presi dent James wrote again that chapel rules were obsolete now and that they wanted to give North '85 his be lated degree. North came today and from a Dig crowd of undergraduates at the sta tion to greet him he heard for the first time the cheer of Illinois. BURLEIGH IS DEAD.

Crawfordvine."Ind.,' June 17. "This is the young man's age," declared Vice President Thomas K- Marshall, in his address here today at the commence ment exercises of Wabash. "The old man is being shoved off the stage ev erywhere. Failing physical vision la assumed to mark a little dimness of Intellectual sight. Scientific truth is not sufficient to establish the leader ship of youth. This leadership must be established by an openness of mind, by waiving the ancient prerogative of being right without information. The old order of education has changed," eaid the vice president in conclusion. "It furnished a philosophy and taught man that happiness was not in his ma terial surrounding in position or pow er but in his own purpose and conduct. The humanities have been forgotten in the rush for success. Our institutions of higher learning may not be expected to furnish a philosophic view of life but they can be expected to instill into the minds of young men intellectual courage. I am visionary enough to be lieve that intellectual courage com bined with honesty will solve whatever social economic problems may arise."

A note from a fashion center of Europe sings a note of comfort for the fat woman," for the style for sHm ness is entirely passe. The slim woman is doomed today. Fashion has decreed her passing and bones are to vanish before plumpness and bonni ness. Women cheerfully now own to a waist measure of from 26 to 36 Inches. In fact, the slim, slinker slouch woman is now considered ugly and deformed. The craza for slimness produced the irritable woman, the neurotic and) nervous woman, the poseuse. To be healthy, a woman should, as every body knows, have an erect figure and an uncramped waist. If the woman adopts a slouching figure, her chest contracts, and nothing is worse than that for the general health.

The West Chester cup, the much sought and highly prized trophy, emblematic of the polo championship of the world, is today stored among the effects of the British invaders and will start on Its second trip across the Atlantic ocean Saturday. The score of four goals to 2 3-4 by which it was won tells only a part of the story of what experts declare to have been the best game of poio ever played. Victory for the chal lengers was hardly won and well de served and failure by the defenders to retain the trophy, while disap pointing for the moment, served to add interest to the game as a sport in the declaration of American poloist3 to challenge for a match next year. Although the American defenders made a desperate last ditch stand they were not quite equal to winning and thus forcing the challengers into a third and deciding contest. Their thrilling rushes, both individually and as a team, in the clc ins minutes of the struggle aroused the 40,000 spec tators to a frenzy, however, and no previous international polo struggle ever closed under such tense and ex citing conditions. Yankees Had Slight Lead. When the eighth and final period opened the American four was lead ing by a fraction of a point but de spite their desperate efTorts they could not quite hold the advantage. Each team scored a goal in this per iod but the defenders in their anxiety to clinch the victory transgressed the rules by sharp crossing; and were pen alized for fouling. Just as the sun sank Captain Barrett of the Hurling ham club's successful four was car ried to the club house on the shoul ders of the English cohorts bearing the union Jacks, and American polo devotees began to discuss plans for 1915 invasion of England in a fresh quest of the cup. Although the trophy regained from England in i90f goes abroad as the result of this defeat, the members f the team gathered by Lord Wimberne knew last night t at Americans cm still play the game t-en though the big four is no longer in existence. Outplayed and utterly routed in the opening contest, wren they went down to defeat by a -core of 8 1-2 to 3. the Americans came back in sur prising form and scored an equal number of goals to those made oy the winners. It ias the-" desperate style of their play and the lack f perfect teamwork" that finally wrought their downfall for- they lost In pfnalties 2 1-4 points out of a gross five while the English were penalized only one point. JUDGE KIMBLE FILES. Republican of Manhattan Out for Con gress in Fifth District. Judge Sam Kimble of Manhattan to day filed his nomination petitions as a candidato for the Republican con gressional nomination in the Fifth district. He announced his candidacy several weeks ago and will enter the August primaries in a three cornered fight for the nomination.

Their arguments proba bly would hr.ve -en ineffective had it not been for the recent condition of disorder at Butte, which has brought home to the president, as well as lis advisers, the fact that the time has come when a conclusive step must be taken to establish the relations of la bor and capital on a safer, saner ba sis than appears to prevail at present. Recent developments, mainly the ac tivities of the I. W. W., are responsi ble for, the growth of this conviction. TO LOOK AFTER FENCES Congressmen of Ail Parties Anxious to Get Home. Washington. June 17. With adjourn ment of congress in about six weeks as their goal, the senate Democratic lead ers were today expected to continue their speed up work on the annual ap propriation bills so as to take" up as early as possible and push to conclusion the administration's program of anti trust measures.. The progress made on the supply measure led to the belief to day that all-of them would be disposed of by about July L With these bills out of the way the senate would then be in a position to take up the anti-trust bills. Only three of the appropriation billa now remain to be passed. They are the Indian, the sundry civil and the rivers and harbors bills.. There is general anxiety in congress for ad journment as early as possible. Members want to return home and en ter actively into the congressional cam paign this fall. With present prospects that the Republicans will not violently oppose the anti-trust bills. Democratic leaders in the senate were hopeful of adjournment the latter part of July. FISHED FOR UuERTY.

GOVE CITY HEWS Alfalfa and Stock Raising Are Important Factors. Live Wires' See ITeed of Rail road Hani Overland Now. Gove City. June 17. Many of the pioneer settlers who helped build up Gove City are still here, and they are working tor the town with as much energy aa In tha days of its first settle ment. It la the county seat of Gove county,. 13 miles from Grainfleld, the nearest railroad station. it Is situated In the valley of Hackberry creek where alfalfa and stock raising are Important factors. There Is not a kicker In town, and the business men stand together. The county normal Is In session, and is being well attended by the teachers, and Kent Trimmer's newspaper keeps on boosting. Here is where he has been for a quarter of a century, and here Is T.here he will stay until some one with plenty of cash comes along and wants to pay his price for the Republlcan Gasette. There are hosts of good fel lows m Gove City. The Royers, of which G. D. Royer has represented the county tn the legislature, ihe Bensons, J. P. Mendenhall, K. W. Simpson, T. I Bturman. George Rhine, the Splhers, Cooks, Mitchells, and others, who have worked to build up the county seat, and are glad they are living here now. They believe that with continued good crop years some corporation will see the necessity of building a railroad to Gove City. Thousands of dollars are an nually spent in freighting to and from Grainfleld. while the produce industry in cream and eggs tributary to Gove City will also aggregate thousands of dollars. It is no wonder tha town needs a railroad. The State Journal correspondent can see plenty to commend and nothing to kick about in his trips to Gove City and Gove county. While the crop of alfalfa tributary to Gove City will be large, there will be a good crop of wheat harvested, and corn is coming on nicely. There will be good yields of oats and barley. With a rail road watch this county seat grow. BIG YIELD IN SHERIDAN. Recent Rains Prevent Cultivation In Corn Fields. Hoxie. Kan., June 17.

Pawnee County Circuit Rider Asks Congregation to Donate to Church. Larned, June 17. Applying the old Jewish tithing principle to Kansas wheat fields. Rev. C. E. Brown, who is pastor of a country circuit of the Methodist church in Pawnee county, expects to raise a very considerable sum for mission work, in gifts of wheat. Some time ago Rev. Brown thought of his plan to raise money for benev olences and missions by this tithing plan of crops. This season he is put ting the idea Into effect on his own circuit There are four churches on the cir cuit. Ash Valley, Tiny, Pratt and Val ley View, all on what Is known as the Pratt circuit. It is a rich wheat country, and this year the farmers have bountiful crops. Rev. Brown pointed out to his farmer parishioners how they should show in a substan tial way their gratitude for this fat year. The call was made for a gift of 160 acres of wheat, each farmer being asked to give one or more acres, the yield from this to go to the church. Al Yeager of Ash Valley headed it oft with a pledge of five acres. Others are coming through likewise. As the wheat is promising to make an average of 34 bushels per acre, that means the equivalent of 150 bushels or $100 worth of wheat from those pledging five acres. Rev. Mr. Brown has 190 members on his circuit, and the 160 acres he has called for would be only a little over one acre per member. The whole pledge will mean 4,800 bushels of wheat or about 94,000 worth In all. CANKER WORM IN TREES. McPherson County Orchards Dam aged Drouth Is Responsible.' Moundridge, June 1 7.

J June 17. That a common basis of un derstanding gradually ia being reached between the government and the railways and that "the many, problems that have arisen In this connection, eventually will be solved without serious inconvenience, was the assertion of D. R. McBain of Cleveland, president of the American Railway. Master Mechanics' association in his annual address yesterday at the opening session of that organization's convention. "The past year," he said, "has made its mark in the way of legislation aind regulation, but thus far, thougn ma tiially adding to our burden, we seem to have assimilated the new things in pan. at least, and the prospects seem to be that the new problems will even tually be solved with satisfaction to toth parties concerned. On the whole, the spirit of co-operation man:; ?ted ry rcmesentatlves of the railroad toward the representative of the federal gcv ernment and the government of vari ous states has been of great value n associating us 6n a common, workable piano." Much attention was paid by various Epeakers to the use of mechanical stok ers on locomotives, and D. F. Crawford, president of the Master Co.- Builders, predicted that the time was coming when the manufacturers of locomotives would lecognize the stoker as an Inte gral part of their product.

New Santa Fe Lines Connect In Texas and Oklahoma. It Is understood that the recent action of the Santa Fe in leasing, with option to purchase, the Oklahoma Central rail road. Is a step to establish a through trunk line between the coal fields of Oklahoma and a connection with its system in that state and Port Arthur or Sabine on the gulf coast of Texas. The Oklahoma Central runs from Chlckasha to Lehigh, a distance of 130 milea By extending the line southeast to Paris, a connection would be obtained with the gulf division of the Santa Fe, which runs to Dallas. The Santa Fe already has a line which runs from Galveston to Ore City. 307 miles. The existing gap between Ore City ana Lehigh could be filled by the con struction of about 225 miles of road. Besides giving a new outlet for the coal in Oklahoma, it would mean the nnen- ing of a big territory for the lumber products or east Texas, which are now reached by the Santa Fe's lines.
