The telephone war In Topeka is end edat least until the 1915 legislature can repair the existing law and enable Topeka to own a telephone system and vote bonds for municipal ownership of its public utilities. This afternoon Har old D. Stroud of the Automatic com pany, gave up the nght when he .h-ntw 123 of the session laws of 1913 made it illegal for a city of the Hrst class to own either tele phone or street railway systems. In a statement this afternoon, Stroud literally charged that the 191S act was passed in the interests of the public service corporations after both branches of the state legislature had enacted house bill No 664. That meas ure became a law February 20. It was March 13 under a provision in senate bill 164, which made wegai w ownership by a city of the first class of either a street railway system or municipal telephone plant. With the law in its present condi tion it would be entirely impossible for Topeka to take over or own any tele phone plant. House Bill a Law. House bill 664 went into the hopper January 20. It was introduced by F. A. HInes of Scott county and tended to enlarge the powers of cities of the first, second and third class relative to the ownership of public utilities. Under the terms of that bill, a city of the first class might own a tele phone plant or street railway system or other public utility. The Hines bill passed both houses and on Febru ary 20, was published and became a la7n the meantime the bill now on the statute books was introduced in the senate by Wilson of Jefferson county. That bill made illegal the ownership by a city of the first class of either a miiaiiv tr tnlenhana mant..-The Wilson- MR became a law March 18. and the Hines act was repealed bx; the' provisions of tho Wilson bilL-. That is the plain, simple story of the ending of the telephone war which has been waged in Topeka for several weeks. Topeka cannot own a tele phone plant. .The state statutes say so and the promoters of the Automatic system admit their defeat. "We Are Whipped" Stroud. "There 's nothing to do but quit,so long as the law is in its present con dition," said Stroud this afternoon. "We are whipped so far as the fight right now is concerned. "The lobby record of the 113 legis lative session shows that S. J. Baer of the Bell company called at the state capitol January 27 and registered as a lobblest. The records show that be tween the date of the committee re port on the Hines bill and the intro duction of the Wilson bill, Baer was registered. I do not make this as a charge, but merely mention these facts in support of my theory that the Wil son bill is a Joker." Wait Until 1915. No further efforts will be made at this time to put across the proposition to vote $900,000 in bonds for an auto matic municipal telephone plant in i'op.ka. When the 1915 legislature com 38 to Topeka, it will be asked to repeal .lie Wilson act and to stive the st-tt a way That will permit municipal owncvxhlp by first class citij-j of all put-lie utilities. IRELAND'S HEW FLAG. It Is Greeted In Chicago by a Salute of 21 Guns. Chicago, July 11. Greeted by a salute of 21 guns the new flag, designed for Ireland, was hdisted here today. Irish societies planned an elaborate celebra tion in honor of the flag which was de signed and made In Ireland. It bears a winged harp, similar to the old Irish emblem, and the words "Ireland a Na tion" instead of "Erin go Bragh." "Erin's Flag," was the title of an address scheduled to be delivered by Judge Marcus Kavanagh of the the su perior court. An athletic program was added to the patriotic exercises.

The collier Stor stad is held to blame for the Empress of Ireland "disaster, in the findings of the wreck commission, handed down today. i i The commission holds the disaster was due to the Storstad's change of course, ordered by the third officer, without Instruction from the, first of ficer, who was In. charge of the col lier at the time.

We can. however, come to no other conclusion than that Mr. Tuftenes was wrong and- negligent in (Continued m Pag Two. STATE FAIR f.'OIJEY Work of Finance Committee Is Almost Completed.

Nine bal loons will sail from here late this af ternoon In the national eliminatien race to determine the third American entrant for the International race that will start from g""" City next Oc tober. The International race Is for the James Gordon Bennett cup, and each competing country 'is entitled to three entrants. The first two, American entrants are the men who got first and second place in the last international race R. H. Upson of Akron, O., and H. E. Hon eywell of St. Louis. The third en trant will be the aeronaut who makes the longest, flight in an airline in the race today.- The Inflation of the balloons was to begin at 10:30 o'clock this morning and arrangement had been made for a specially prepared gas to be pumped into the balloons at the rate of 160,000 i cubic feet an hour. This can be increased to 800,000 cubic feet an hour if necessary to have the inflation completed at the hour scheduled for the departure of the first balloon. j Rach balloon has a. canacitr of 80.- i 000 cubic feet, and the aeronauts will sail equipped for a long nignt. An effort- will be made to break the world's record. The record for Amer ican flights was made in 1910, by Al len R. Hawley, who flew from St. Louis to Lake Tchotogama, Quebec, a distance of 1,172.9 miles. The world's record was made by Maurice Benaims, of France; in the international race of 1912.

Topeka people who were formerly in terested in aeronautics, recognise in the "San Francisco 1915" the old "Topeka II" that made several trips from To peka and was in two sensational na tional races, one with Frank Jacobs as pilot and Raffe Emmerson as aide, and again with Jacobs pilot and W.. W. Webb aide. While in Tooeka for afew hours early this summer, Mr. Emmerson told a friend that himself and Cole, a former Topeka man, would enter the "Topeka II" in this elimination race rrom est. Louis: that the balloon, was in an Atchison warehouse, where It had been since the flight made by Jacob ana Webb.

The new cars recently put in Kan sas by the Union Pacific are doing much, toward avoiding a shortage on that road. During the six fiscal years 1908 to 1918 the steam railways of the United States, of class 1, have Invested in their road and equipment cash to the amount of $4,010,385,303. Railways of class 1 are those with annual oper ating revenues of more than $1,000, 000. They include 90 per cent of the mileage In the United States. SHORT OF r.OIIEY. (Continued From Page One.) amounts to about 315,000. This debt was incurred in the 1911 season, the first season the present owners were in charge. The German-American bank holds notes against the local baseball association and has been urging a set tlement. Owing to the reverses of the year the. local company has been un able to pay the amount due and the bankers thought by foreclosing the mortgage that they could dispose of the franchise and players., thus .recov ering the money due them, it is report ed in Topeka today. Transfer of Franchise? President O'Neill explained that the franchise and players were the prop erty of the league and not of the club as supposed. In addition to that, he informed them that if the officers of the local company could be allowed more time he believed they could raise the money at a later date. If they could not, of course, the club and franchise would be transferred to some other town, such town assuming the responsibilities or a certain part of them, in case or a transfer the re celving town would be required to pay a large amount of money and a part of this, probably enough' to pay all debts, would be turned over -to the local company, which in turn would be turned over to the creditors of the club. The creditors did not make any an nouncement but it is believed the mat ter has boon sufficiently explained so as to remove all danger of putting the Topeka baseball club in a hazardous position. According to President O'Neill con ditions in the Western League just now are unfavorable, but he expects a re lief In the near future. Crops Will Help. President Tip O'Neill thinks the last part of the Western' League season will be much better than the first part, or Just contrary to the usual condi tions. He said: "I think the Western League clubs will get the huge crowds during the. latter part -of the season which they have missed during the early spring. The crops 'are fine and others are coming on which indicate that they will be as good as those which have been harvested. The farmers will become more ac tive as soon as the corn crop can be estimated. This will cause a revival of business, and then the baseball crowds will become larger. This season has been a hard one In the Western League. Not one of the dubs is doing very well and sev eral of them nave lost a little money. Of course I know the finances of the Topeka club are low. but that was not caused by this season's perform. anoe. The old debt which has hung over the club since the season or. 1911 when the present owners went In debt 315.000. Is causing all- the trouble. x think the creditors-, understand now better than ever and will do nothing to harass base bail in Topeka, "The players and franchise of every town do not belong to the town or any individual man or company of men. If the owners of any club should be unable to pay debts or finance the club the franchise and -players must be turned over to the .league, and I would place them in some other town, Then the creditors would nave nothing that they could- recover excepting the baseball park. Others Lows Too. "Am sorry the 'Topeka club finances are low, but others on the circuit also are low. I don't think the officers of the local association or the fans need worry. The dub will stay in Topeka and will go through the season. They may lose money,- but they will get it back next year. Of course,' I under stand that it is embarrassing to the men who must put uo the- money an til- more prosperous times prevail, but everytntng will come out all right. Loyal Set In Topeka. "The fans of Topeka are a loyal set and are entitled to much considera tion. The Topeka dub has bad mighty hard luck this season. The first setback was when Outfielder Kiggs had to quit.- the second wai when laflelder Dowd Droved-a dlaao poihtment, and' the next was the fail ure of Manager Dale Gear. Ha was a mighty fine fellow, but It seems that he Starred wrong. I am convinced that he' had' the ability. Another 91000- of hard luck was -the -way the pucmng sum -went .to nieces. but.. I think now' that Cooler has a bunch of piayers wnicn win win at least half at their games during the remainder of tne season.' O'Neill left last night for. Wichita and then will go to Denver for Sundav. J then to Lincoln, Omaha and the other l towns ox tne circuit. m w hit. Barns of Philadelphia Leads In National League.

Battleship Nevada Launched Today at Qulncy, Qulncy.. Ma.., July 11. Turbine engines and oil fuel will furnish' the motive power of the 27,500-ton battle ship Nevada to be launched at the yards ot the Fore River shipbuilding company today. This latest addition te the United States navy Is a sister ship of the Oklahoma, launched at Camden, N. J., last March. It Is ex pected that she will be placed in com mission next January. The Nevada has a length over all of 588 feet, beam 96 feet, and mean draft of 28 feet, and her estimated speed Is 20 knots an hour. .5' The arranrement of the main bat tery of ten 14-inch guns -will be dif ferent from that on any other Ameri can battleship. Two turrets will carry two guns and two others will have three guns each, an arrangement which It Is thought will give a con centration of fire superior to that of the five two-gun turrets exemplified In the New Tork and the Texas. The weight of armor Is greater than that carried, by any ship previously built for the navy. The muzzle energy of the 14-inch guns to be carried on the Nevada is about 68,000 foot tons and Its shell will weigh 1,400 pounds. Secretary Daniels of the navy de partment, and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, Governor Tasker L. Oddle of Nevada, and Senator Pittmatt of that state, were the principal guests at the launching. The sponsor chosen was Governor Oddle's niece, Eleanor Ann Siebert, 10-year-old. dap.gb.ter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Siebert,: of Reno. Another guest was Edward H. Gls- burne of quincy, who was given a medal of honor a few days ago by Secretary Daniels for gallantry In the fighting at Vera Cruz. Glsburne, who was wireless operator on the battle ship Florida; was wounded while sig naling to the fleet from a hotel roof, and It was found necessary to ampu tate one or nis legs. PRICES GOK'G UP.

In a battle between pitchers, in which Reisigl of Topeka had the advantage, the game between the Topeka and Des Moines clubs here Friday was won by the vis itors.

After two were out in the last round, the Des Moines' club scored one run and had three men 'on bases. Manager Dick Cooley rushed Pitcher Jones to the mound and the latter forced Ewoldt to fly out to Wakefield. Topeka took an early lead by scor ing two runs in-the.' first, inning and the locals were. never able to over take them. With two out in the first inning. LckofT hit Forsythe with a pitched ball, and. the latter stole sec ond and scored on Koerner's single to center. Hartford missed Lattimore's grounder and Koerner scored. The Des Moines club cut .down the lead by scoring one run in the last half of the r ne inning when Burrell worked Reisigl for a pass and had moved around1 to third..

James Connel ly,, vice president of the Boston Na tional league baseball club, died sud denly of heart disease here. He was formerly a member of the state board of insanity. GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS. Organized baseball Is watching the Federal league more closely than ever. It is believed that more than one club of the outlaw aggregation will quit before the season is completed, and if they do not quit the class next year will be much slower or there will be changes in the city and probably fewer clubs. It has been clearly dem onstrated that no town In the country will support .three clubs, and but few will support two. The major league towns are about the only ones that will support two clubs. The drawing power of the Outlaw league is declining rapidly. In towns Where the Feds drew large crowds in the early season the attendance now is reduced until it is hardly enough to pay the expenses of maintenance out side the salary list. Information comes from New Tork that the Fed eral league in Brooklyn is as dead as Coney Island in the winter time. It is alsoVready for cremation in Kansas City, st. Louis and Pittsburg. The outlaws In B. ltimore, Indianapolis and Buffalo are not making expenses, while there Is a' big scandal about ready to crack in reference to the Chifeds. This scandal, it is said, will soon be made public The Chifeds are in debt to the ex tent of 2125,000, and a meeting of the creditors was held recently, but the result never as been announced. The debt is supposed to be on Weeghnian's park and there aru no funds avail able to cancel the obligation. The Ward brothers, who financed the Baltimore club, have reduced the admission fees to 25 cents, believing that would increase attendance there. There is no doubt but that the dub owners of the outlaw aggregation have plenty of money, but they will not continue spending it unless they can be shown where such expenditure will be returned with a reasonable amount of Interest.' George Watson of the Drummers has robbed Nicholson of Wichita, of base-stealing honors. Watson has pil fered 34 sacks, while Le Jeune of Sioux City is second with 31, and Nicholson has but 29. Forsythe of Topeka is fourth, with 26. Tex Jones of the Des Moines club Is leading the home-run hitters. He Is credited with a total of 13. In the averages, and Thursday he hit an other. Bills of Wichita and Krug of Omaha each have 11. Le Jeune of Sioux City has hit for more bases than any other man on the. circuit. Out of 73 games he has been at bat 244 times, has 101 hits with 162 bases, but perhaps the pill box at Sioux City makes a difference. The fielding averages of the West ern league clubs show all of near an equal strength. With the Des Moines club leading with an average of .961, Lincoln and Topeka are tied for sixth place with an average of .952. or but nine points behind. Wichita is in eighth place with an average of .944, or only 1 7 points behind the leaders. Pitcher Grover Laudermilk, now with the Louisville club, may get an' other chance in the majors. It is re ported that Clarke Griffith has offered 815.000 for the speed pitcher, but Hayden has refused to accept. Red Faber and Joe Bens, former Western leaguers, appear to be Just as good as any of the pitchers on the White Sox staff,, and this stall is said to be as good as any in the major leagues. If Ed Walsh can convince the bugs that he really has "come back," there will be rejoicing and the White Sox might be considered pen nant contenders. The Austin club of the Texas league has broken all world's records by losing 27 consecutive games. The Louisville club formerly held the rec ord with a loss of 26 in 1889. In a game between the Kansas City and .St. Louis teams of the Federal league in St. Louis, Thursday, there were just forty-five people In the grandstand, according to reports" of the press. The Boston Red Sox claim to have paid 825,000 for Pitchers Ruth and Shore, who were purchased from the Baltimore club of the International league. Tip O'Neill cast his weather eye in the direction of Des Moines; sighted that Monday squall, when Nick Mad dox, the Wichita manager, took t punch at Umpire Stockdale, and flash ed a decree by wire that Nickerlno must consider himself Indefinitely sus pended, in addition to which the Wichita manager must come across with a 350 fine. Presumably, the fine will come out of the Wichita coffers. This is one method of encouraging rowdyism. The club "owners pay the xsssa players. Barney McGrath, recently released by Dick Cooley. has joined the Be atrice team of the Nebraska State league. He, lost his first game against Tork by the score of 3 to 2. Barney has requested the' manager to work him every third day until he regains control. The Indianapolis club has sold Pitcher Buck O'Brien to the Memphis club of the Southern league.- Buck has a good arm. knows how to pitch, but his disposition has caused aim a 'peck of trouble.

It Is known to the out side world by the men that have gone out irom it and have made good. They have brought renown not to themselves alone but to the town they call) home. Among these men have boon a chief justice of the state supreme court, a United States district attor ney, a governor and a member of the Philippine commission. This little city is surrounded by farm land that produces the best wheat, the rankest alfalfa, and the finest corn of any land in the United States. It is the county seat of what Henry Allen said was the richest county per capita in the world. The town is divided into hill and a valley by the Luta. a small stream that- flows Into the Cot tonwood. This geographical division in many towns would be an excuse for two towns and the traditional town row. In this river Cy Knocker was drowned and Bill Booster leads the two divisions to .the river bank and across it they clasp hands in a pledge for a better Marion. The business interests are the in terest of a rich agricultural commun ity in Kansas. Three large department stores, two excellent groceries, three up to date meat markets and two lum ber yards supply food, clothing and shelter to the community so that it Is unnecessary for any citizen of the town of community to journey to Kan sas city, Wichita or Topeka for the latest styles and the best foods. It is even unnecessary, for any one to use the large catalogs of the mail order houses. Market for Produce. Two mills, one elevator together with two produce houses are able to furnish a market for the salable produce from the farms. In fact the produce houses reach far out into the country to care for the produce of other communities. A creamery and ice cream factory take care of all the milk supply and offers encouragement for increased milk pro duction. Two banks, solid as the rock of Gibraltar, with deposits aggregating nearly one-half million dollars, testify to the thrift and prosperity of the community. Every business for the convenience of a country town is rep resented, shoe stores, men's furnish ing and ladies" furnishing stores, drugs, feed stores, etc. IJve Commercial Club. Two first class newspapers keep the people informed of the interest of the community and add from time to time the usual political discussions. But all this would be lost to the world but for the work and enthusiasm of a live Commercial club. This club Is com posed of the solid business and pro fessional men of the town, the men who do things, men who are always on the job and who are always and eternally boosting for a bigger and a better Marion. Marion's Commercial club is Marion's Booster club. They do not stop at the boundary lines of the city but they reach out Into the whole county, any thing for the good, not of Marion alone but of the whole county. What has been said above is enough to make any town distinctive but Ma rion's slogan Is "A City of Homes." Here are gathered a group of 2,500 home lovers. No person that spends a years in Marion ever forgets the town or the people, and when one leaves he always expects to return some day to Marion. Gov. Hoch when he had com pleted his term of service to the state though offered greater advantages and opportunities than Marlon could offer, returned to the old home on the hill.

IgmrCONTOACTO: 110 Cast 9th Street, Orient, Having once lived in Marion it Is always home. It has not just happened that Ma rion has become a city of homes. The founders no doubt bad some such idea when they selected the site, an Ideal place for living. The environ ment got hold of the settlers until it Is felt by every citizen. The town fur nishes ideal home conditions, splendid churches that have responded to the spiritual needs; a brotherly feeling that has culminated in the federation of two of the leading churches, the Presbyterian and the Baptist, into one federated church; a splendid school system that offers every opportunity to the young men and women of the community. Marion took the lead in abolishing pool halls and all places of questionable amusement. Marion with paved streets, a muni cipal owned light and waterplant, lo cated on the Old Trail Road, crossed by the Rock bland and Santa Fe rail roads, with more miles of sewers than any town of its size in the state, with every opportunity to satisfy the social, and religious instinct is an ideal place in which to be born, grow up, get mar ried, live happy and grow old.

MU County bridges, 1914 40.014.W Two year total on highways.. $182,870.01 vr th. last two vears the county has levied a tax of 7.6 cents on tne hundred dollars for road and bridge building and maintenance funds, col lecting this tax on all the property of the county and city, but spending all the money outside the corporate limits of Topeka. In accordance witn nego tiations between Shawnee county a board of commissioners ana tne boards of trustees of the several town ships, the county has agreed at its earliest convenience to assume tne maintenance of S4.1 miles more of road, additional to the 163.1 of desig nated roads, which are the principal highways all over the county. Demand for Bridge. Besides this prospective added ex pense, the county faces the necessity of expending not less than $10,000 on county bridges, for which insistent de mands are made from various parts of the county. The estimate covers the prospective cost of replacing sev eral of the old wooden bridges which are rotting out. In addition to expenditures men tioned. Shawnee county spent $1,441.35 in 1911 for opening roads, most of which are maintained by township expense, and $1,811.4$ in the fiscal year Just ended. It la an Interesting fact that no In dividual in Shawnee county knows ex actly how many bridges this county owns. Besides the five bridges over the Kaw river, there are records of 146 bridges In the county with spans of It feet up to 1$0 feet, but, on a recent trip into the country, Walter J. Arnold, county engineer,- and Com missioner J. C Shimer discovered a bridge of which no record was to be found on books now In use In the en gineer's office. Admittedly, says Mr, Arnold, there may be others and be Is looking for them. The fact that some of the smaller stone bridges put in years ago have been of such perma nent construction as to necessitate no expense for repair haa permitted them to drop entirely out of sight on the county's books. Permanent Improvements. While most of the county roads are merely graded and provided with con crete culverts of a permanent charac ter, nearly 40 miles have been im proved In a more or- less permanent way. The use of gravel, macadam, oil and brick Is given as follows: Graveled roads ............32.80 miles Macadam 4.65 miles OH -50 mllM (jinoers l.eo mJlea Brick .50 miles Many gaps must be filled before the county will have a complete sys tem of roads. It Is with this object that the county commissioners and township trustees have been constant ly in negotiation over new roads to be taken Into the county's charge. The improvement and maintenance work is under the personal supervision of County Engineer Arnold, whose office is steadily growing In importance by reason of the large expenditures di rected through it. Both Sides of the River. As now distributed, there are 100.8 miles of county roads south of the Kaw and 52.8 in the northern part of the county. Of the new roads to be taken over by the county, 18.8 miles are in the north part and S0.8 In the south part. The county roada are as follows: North of Kansas River. Miles.

In the past few vears Shawnee coun ty has been forced Into the expense of replacing the old wooden and earlier Duut iron bridges which have been in service 20 years or longer and the de mands for this sort of outlay have been coming heavier than the funds held out to meet them. Several bridges that for the sake of safety should have been replaced last year have gone over until new tax money is available and as many of them as possible will go into tne budget for 1914-15. The tax payers have the consolation that the modern type of bridge la several times as durable but the modern demand for perfection In the public's equip ment or o ridges and highways Is so In sistent that It la a temptation to com missioners, after perspiring over the never ending problem, to advise a big bond lasuo which would get the initial expense over with at one blow. Neod Eight Bridges. At least eight new bridges, says County Engineer Arnold, are needed right away. Two of these are called for on the East Fourth street road which is only serviceable for local travel for lack of means of passage over Deer creek where a structure to cost between $5,000 and $6,000 Is needed and over a deep ravine Just west of the Stevenson farm, where be tween $2,000 and $3,000 would coyer the expense of a bridge and fill. A bridge estimated to cost about $2,500 is needed over Butcher creek between Highland Park and the Coun try club. A similar outlay would re place the shaky old pile bridge on South Kansas avenue a quarter of a mile from the Hensler farm. The old bridge is' said to be unsafe as the pilings are rotting out. The McCauley bridge over the Wa karusa south of Auburn is more than 20 years old and calls for replace ment. Engineer Arnold has estimated that an outlay of $6,500 is needed here. The old "bowstring" type Mud Vallev bridge over Soldier creek will be one of tne tirst replaced, mas nave already been submitted for it,' the low est being $7,460, but none were ac cepted for lack of funds. Two new bridges are neeaea in uover townsmp where about $5,000 will have to be spent. For your eye troubles see Chas. Ben nett, Doctor of Optica, 900 Kan., ave. Adv.- Ask for "Honey Bread." Adv.

Thirteen was the total number of cases which brought the bad luck of the busiest day in weeks for the Juve nile court yesterday when Judge Hush McFarland and Ed Rooney, probation officer, perspired over the troubles of a baker's dozen of their youthful charges. The juvenile court makes a practice of keeping its troubles to itself on the "theory that the lees published about the troubles of the young, the better their chance for' getting back into the straight and narrow way. It was an assortment of all sorts of cases which engrossed the court. One small boy was removed from a home to which he had once been as signed and placed in another home where more desirable conditions pre vailed. Two boys who had broken' into a store in North Topeka were examined. A girl recently discharged from Be loit is again in trouble and would have been returned there but for the state of her health.' She was paroled. A runaway girl of 15 from Emmett, Kan., was examined and will be sent back home. An infant child Is the object of a suit to remove it from Us mother's charge on the ground of her delin quency. A lad who pleaded guilty to stealing a bicycle, in order to be as well fixed as the boys with whom he played, was tried and paroled. Two young colored girls who ran away from home were given a hear ing and are held while warrants are being prepared for the arrest of two boys who accompanied them. rour Doys wno naa railed to re port to the probation officer were haled into court and given a "talking to." Two or three of the cases, includ lng that of the baby whose custody is in litigation, nave been continued until next week.

"It is not to be supposed that this disaster was in any way attributable to any special characteristics of the St. Lawrence waterway. It was a dis aster which might have occurred in the Thames, in the Clyde, in the Mer sey or elsewhere in similar circum stances. "Such is the conclusion we have ar rived at on the question -as to who is to blame for the disaster. But the question of much greater public in terest and importance remains to be considered, viz: Why the ship sank so quickly and what steps, if any, can be taken to prevent the terrible conse quences which so often follow such disasters.', Stories Differ. "The main difference between the stories of the officers of the Empress and the Storstad is to be found in the description of the way the two were approaching each othtr at the time the Express of Ireland changed her course, afier'havine obtained an offing from Father Point. The witnesses from the Storstad say they were approaching so as to pass red to red, while those from the Empress of Ireland say they were approaching so as as to pass green to green. The stories are irreconcilable and we have to determine which is the more probable. Times, distance and bearings vary so much even in the evi dence from witnesses from the same ship that it is impossible to rely or to bare conclurions upon them. We have, therefore, thought it advisable to found our conclusions almost entirely upon events spoken of by the witnesses and upon their probable sequence In order to arrive at a solution of the difficulty. He Was Mistaken. "After carefully weighing the evi dence we have come to the conclusion that Mr. Tuftenes was mistaken If he supposed there was any intention on the part of the Empress of Ireland to pass port to port, or that she, in fact, by her lights manifested the intention of doing so; but it appears to us to be a mistake which would have been of no consequence If both ships had sub sequently kept their courses. "Shortly after the ships came into Plan Piano STEINWAY WEBER VOSE KURTZMANN HENRY F.

From the evi dence adduced on behalf of both ves sels, it is plain that before the fog and when they last saw each other there was no risk of collision if each kept her course. Therefore, the ques tion as to who is to blame resolves itself into a simple issue, namely, which of the ships changed her course during the fog?" Not Wilfully Cnanged. "There is in our opinion no ground for saying that the course of the Em press of Ireland ever was changed in the sense that the wheel was wilfully moved; but as the hearing proceeded another explanation was propounded, namely that the vessel changed her course, not by reason of any wilful al terations of her- wheel but in conse quence of some uncontrollable move ment which was accounted for at one time on the hypothesis that the steer ing gear was out of order and at an other time by the theory that, having regard to the fullness of the stern of the Empress of Ireland, the area of the rudder was Insufficient. Evi dence was-called in support of the ex planation. "'The principal witness on tho point as 'to the steering gear was a man named Oalway," one of the quartermasters on th Empress. He said that he reported the lamming incident to Williams, the second officer on the bridge (who was drowned) and to Pilot Bernler. He said he also mentioned" the matter to. Quartermaster Murphy, who relieved him at midnight. Pilot Bernjer and Murphy were called and they denied Or way had made any complaint what ever to them about the steering gear. Galway gave his evidence badly and made so unsatisfactory a witness that we cannot rily on his testimony. Some evidence was called, hewover, to con firm Gal way's.

State Won Permanent Place on Prohibition Wheels. Better nomes, Schools and Citi zenship as a Result. WilUam Allen White of Emporia this week told the story of the effective light against liquor in Kansas in a two page story in the Saturday Evening Post under the caption, "How Kansas Boarded the Water Wagon.'? For SO years. White says, the state has fought the battle for a permanent place on the- water wagon and now she has won. Instead of the natior.'s per capita of more than 822 for liquor, the boose per capita cost in Kansas is 81.21 and the balancer is spent for better homes better schools and the development of a better citizenship. Telling of the result of the 30 years war against boose in Kansas, White mays in part: It will pay us, therefore, to look at the physical effects of this abstinence. And naturally one must go at it back ward to get the perspective on it. The effects of alcohol, on a person produce a loosening of the restraints which hold him to conventions. A few drinks make a man talk more, sing more, dance more, swagger more, laugh more, swear more, spend more, flirt more and generally deport himself on a moral plane rather lower than the av erage. He is a little crazy, a little lazy, a little weak-willed, a little vicious, a little prodigal, a little thriftless, a lit tle devilish,' under the influence of liquor. And if he is adequately stewed as to his nerve cells and brahn areas' most of the time, there are wide areas of his mind that act abnormally more or less of the time. So he loses his judgment, his money, his good -name, his talents, his general poise and bal ance. And here, also, a state is like a man. Given the excessive use of liquor in a state, and the state insane asylums flU up. That state is losing something of its fundamental sanity; the poorhouses flU up, indicating a lack of thrift; the Jails become crowded. Indicating a mor al decay; and the citizens of the state, who are as cells of a human body, die rather earlier and oftener than they should. A brief survey of the Kansas situation, since she has won her long, hard fight for state sobriety, seems to show that the effects of swearing off for a state are exactly those that are seen in a sobered man. There is not a great difference in population between Cook county, 111 nois, and the state of-Kansas, yet there are more Chicago Insane in the Cook county asylum than the insane, the criminals, the boys and girls at, the reformatory, the feeble-minded.., and the prisoners in Kansas Jails and pen itentiaries. Here is another curious and illumi nating .fact: Kansas has fewer mur ders., fewer, homicides, and fewer acci dental deaths than any other state, and this Is one of the lowest rates in the world 4.5 for each hundred thousand annually. The effect of the saloon, with its commercialization of drinking, on murders, suicides and accidents is too obvious -to need elaboration; but it is Interesting: to note that when the sa loon goes these causes of death are re duced, v The vital statistics of the- va rious states show that Kansas has fewer deaths from kidney diseases than any other state, and the relation of whisky to kidney trouble is so well known that this fact alone proves a low per capita consumption of liquor. Remember there are one hundred and five counties in Kansas. Forty-eight of these counties did not send a pris oner to the penitentiary last year and 87 counties did not send an insane pa tient to tne asylum. In 14 counties no Jury., has been called in ten years to try a criminal case. Fifty-three counties have empty jails. Thirty eight counties have empty poorhouses and the second lowest death rate in America is the Kansas death rate of seven and a half a thousand. Moreover; the bank deposits in Kan sas have Increased In ten years from one hundred million to two hundred and twenty million dollars. And it should be remembered that these bank deposits are in the hands of the many and not of the few: for the financial agency reports Dun's and Brad street's list less than tt, score of mil lionaires in Kansas and not one over five millions. The average holding of taxable property, taking the number of people in- the state and dividing it by the- total assessed valuation of the state, is $1,666.92, which the Wall Street Journal recently declared to be the largest in America. Also, a re port from Director Harris, of the cen sus bureau, shows that -we have .de creased our state debt faster than any other state. The -parallel between the sober man and the sober state is startling.- Here we have a small insane area; a low criminal area; a small area of shift lessness. And we have thrift and good health highly accented, far above nor mal, wholesome life. Now as to the mind: Kansas is. among the first. six of the states with a low percentage of illiteracy. In a population of a million and three-quarters, or thereabouts, we have over eight thousand students in our state educational institutions of higher learning above high school grade, and in these higher educational Institutions and other colleges Kansas has more students In college according to- population than any other state in the union, -v Moreover, we have 38.448 students in high schools and the increase has more than exceeded the growth in population during the last Ave years. Thus, we find that the state having, the largest number of students in colleges, accord lng to population, having the largest assessed valuation, having next to the lowest death; rate, and having the smallest state debt hi proportion to Its population, is the state in which the smallest average expenditure is made for liquor. We have saved about twenty dollars a head from our liquor bill to spend for things worth while. Where the Money Goes. How. then, do we spend our money? What do we do with that twenty dollars a head which represents the difference between the average American small but representative unit. &anporia J la a. town tof ten thousand nnnle.lie county eeat ot s ewirjity of twewiy-f-vo thousand people. It Is a typical Kansas community. In Emporia are thirty-one groceries, five clothing stores, four dry goods stores, three furniture stores, three hardware stores, two big book tore five bakeries, Tlve banks, five drugstores, two music stores, three Jew elry stores and six hotels. And this rrtng, following a year of drought and bad crops, the town raised 87i,SoO for a T. M. C.

An average six months has Just passed and the police court record la this for- ten thousand people and their tributary fifteen thousand: There have been twenty-four arrests for drunkenness and about one hundred and thirty-four reverything in the police court. The taxes are low because our Jails are empty more or less of the time, and the cost of criminal trials is so small that the average time consumed with crtm.'nal cases in the district court is but one-fourth of the "time Consumed at each nnartarlv uMlnn L&at year these twenty-five thousand people contributed eight prisoners to the state penitentiary. We have in the county ess nign school students; 775 students in higher institutions of learning inside the state, and many uuuuuB u state mat escape enumer ation in college catalogues of the state. in ere are 4.540 taxpayers in the county, who own approximately forty one million dollars' worth of property, and who, for all surnoKi stale, citv. county and school pay $498,000 and oo not nave any help from saloon licenses to do it: but-then the learaj machinery of the county is not dogged by the caprices if whisky, and it costs us only $13,736 a year to run our courts. We seem to use ouf twenty dollars a. una, savea irom the nation's aver age llqaor bill, fairly weU. We seem to put it into groceries and clothing, houses and schools and libraries and churches and municinal lmnmva. ments. And then we save some of it for a bank deposit of three million Ave uunurea inousana dollars, which to the average Lyon county deposit for me mree years last past. This is con siderably above the average deposit in the country. When one coiuMara that the total deposit is distributed among ocvcuieu inuuauia nvo nundred ac counts the figures do not show a pros perity denied by the facts, as it would if we had large deposits and few de positors. We have honest politics because we have no dealings- with the saloon crowd. In Lyon county and In Em poria a generation has elapsed since urcre was a oeiaicatlon of a penny of public funds. There is no purchas- ame vote in. the county. In Kansas1 candidates buy printer's ink instead of beer on election day. And, on the whole, printer's Ink is more whole some and leaves fewer bad effects on a commonwealth than beer. We have acquired a taste for printer's Ink and have lost the taste for beer. That Is about thnt result of thirty years of the prohibitory law in K""ii. -What will -this -taste for ink bring us in the end? As a state we have reex-hed-a stage bTeconomic and f-.-adJustmentvmuch .nearer the ideal status of the dreamer than even the most radical visionary would have thought possible without a downright change of the social order. Class pov erty and class riches are practically eliminated from Kansas. The door of opportunity stands well ajar for every one Education from the kindergarten to the master's degree, is free. Free libraries, full of books, stand open In practically every village and town in Kansas, and a thoroughly organized state traveling library covers the conn try districts. Culture clubs for women abound. The state could be covered as with a wedding JRIm!int ,b?,,he local newspapers. And yet this population, so abundantly blessed, has H greai inventor, one great statesman, one great poet, novelist, artist, philosopher or leader whose fame is really We have contributed nivi.. .i.- world that our sister state of Nebraska, with her saloons, cannot duplicate, except happiness and prosperity.

u The Choice of men who know w light "SIX" l&lst "FOUR" $500 added in The Master new features Four Stffl $3250 $2100 i in The Topeka home of the MAXWELL line is in our showrooms. The newest arrival on the automobile market ia the new Loiter "Light Sixx." This is the biggest car the Lozier company has ever built, in point of wheel base and carrying capacity. It is an en largement of the Lozier Light Six of last season. 1 but sells at the same price. The .wheel-base' of the car has been increased, allowing greater passenger capacity, and a num ber of Improvements in mechanical details have been made. This new "Six" has a wheel-base of 1S2 Inches,' which is longer than the wheel-base measurements of any of the earlier Lozier models. It has a new convertible five or seven passen ger body with vanishing type seats and when not in use the extra seats fold into the backs of the front seats where they are out of the way of passengers and are In such a position that they are not noticed at first glance and therefore have the advantage of not breaking into the lines of the car when not in use. Commodtousness has been the keynote In de signing the body; It is noticeably larger, both in side and outside, and with 23 inch doors, both front and rear, they improve the appearance of the car noticeably and provide more room for passengers entering or leaving the front and rear compartments. The stroke of the motor has been Increased from 6 to 6 inches, the bore remaining 3 7-8 Inches.

Southeast Corner Sixth and Quincy SEERY MORTON The Hudson Motor Car Co. in hunching its new model "Six-40' 'touring car for 1915 has made a reduction in price from $1,750 to $1,550. The new figure includes all im provements and -a complete line of accessories and fit tings. -i The "SBx-fO'' line will include no less than five types: the phaeton and- roadster, the convertible, roadster with its folding coupe top, the coupe, and the limousine. 'The ""Slx-64," m addition to' the standard phaeton, will be built in limousine form to sen for 13,600. While the general Retails of the Hudson for; 1115 are much Ifcfiift me as those of the 1914 car, the complete list of alterations includes no less than SI changsot detail.' For example, the motor has been practically redesigned and is not only more powerful, but mora quiet in operation. The cylinders, the dimensions of which are 34x6 inches, are now cast in one block- with integral In take manifold, the gas passage from the carburetor being entirely surrounded by hot water.. Even the warm-air passages leading to the carburetor are water-jacketed, so that the carburetion is safe guarded at all points. A larger crank shaft, larg er connecting rod bearings, and timing gears of. new design are other basic changes in the motor. The electrical system is Improved by the instal lation of an automatic spark advance in addition to the manual control, while the wiring is greatly simplified and is carried in rust-proof flexible metal conduits. The combined Ignition, lighting and starting system is of improved Delco design, and has a circuit-breaking relay in place of the simpler but more troublesome fuses formerly em- ployed. The ignition and lighting switch is guard- ed by a positive lock that renders it possible to leave the car winth the lights In any -desired com bination, reasonably secure against tampering. An absolute novelty has been introduced back of the gearset which is of the three-speed selec tive type,' as before in the shape' of a tubular propeller shaft. This innovation has frequently been proposed during the past year or two, but ..has never been employed on a stock model. -Its. use is intended to obyjate rapid wear in- the unl- versal joints and occasional failure of the shaft itself due to whipping tendencies at high speeds. Besides being stronger than a solid shaft. wi? for weight, this element of added rigidity is an exceedingly strong point in its favor. Another innovation is .the Introduction of self lubricating bushings at points where the average operator is apt to neglect those frequent attentions that are so important in maintaining working parts in proper condition. Such bearings have been placed at important, but inconspicuous points, like the steering column tube, the front axle cross-tie rod, yoke and rear axle brake shaft. The self -lubricating properties of the bushings not only relieve the operator of the need of attending to them, but overcome squeaking tendencies and the wear that eventually lads to rattling. Pressed 'steel has been cleverly introduced in lightening the gasoline tank fittings and fender supports while, a simple cross rod between the fen der supports the headlights and replaces the heav- ier brackets formerly used. In fact close attention oo just such details has resulted in knocking 90 pounds off the former weight of the car and re ducing it to 2,890 pounds.

The Independent Auto company. which has taken the agency for the Regal car, has ordered fifty 1915 ma chines. The 1915 Losiers are on dis play. A Regal demonstrator was re ceived this week. v An Improvised automobile attracted oma attention in Topeka the other day. It was driven by a farmer who was accompanied by his wife and three children. It was made out of a two seated farm rig. A light commercial truck engine was used, .which worked by "fits and starts." mostly fits. But the "old man" of the family with his wife and "kiddies" enjoyed the holiday tn Topeka. There is a tendency among Topeka youths to "steal" automobiles for tem porary joy rides. -There have been sev eral cases where automobiles have been taken away, sometimes in broad day fight, by boys who see only the fun and adventure In the deed. It is an of fense, however, that might get the young joy rider in trouble, if the own er of the machine ever made a com plain. Dr. C. B. Van Horn .who went to Colorado a few weeks ago in his 'Cole, says that the roads around Colorado Springs are the finest he has ever seen. "It can rain for hours in Colorado, making the roads muddy. However, the minute the rain ceases and the sun begins to shine, there are the same good roads for the tourist. There is only one disadvantage to this. The soil that makes this wonderful network Is of red clay formation. It makes' the most beautiful bluegrass In the world, but it will not grow corn or wheat.? k- Topeka people win always remember that one of the few automobiles, that has ever ascended Pikes Peak was Topeka-made car. Several years- ago, in the dead of winter, a Great Smith reached the summit by the Cascade wagon .road. F. M. Steves Sons are handling the Briscoe car, which sella for 9750. Steves was not backward about getting his aemonstrator. The day that the man ufacturers announced the Briscoe. Steves presented his new Briscoe to the people otTopeM. It Is said that in central Kansas, that everyone owns an automobile. In the rural communities, a year ago, it was said that horses and carriages were used only for. courting and funerals. Now, it is considered in good form for the' young country beau to take the "wild nowerlet of the rural shade" out riding in a machine. They 'still use the old reliable nag to go to funerals.

One dealer estimated that several hundred cars will be sold by 'Topeka firms by the time snow falls, repre senting an outlay of at least half' a million dollars. An individual agency in this city has sold nearly one hun dred cars already this year and is looking forward to a lively business in. the next few months. It Is not only the Topeka trade in motor cars that is handled by local dealers, -but the capital city is becom ing more and more of a distributing center. -Borne of the firms do busi ness In several counties aside from Shawnee.':- Farmers Bay Machines. A record breaking business among the: farmers is anticipated in Kansas in the next year. In fact, the bumper wheat yield and the prospects for one of the greatest, if not the greatest, corn crops on record, has already stimulated business. The farmers are now buying machines and some of them expensive cars. E. Phil Merrill, a Cadillac repre sentative who was In Topeka this week and' who has been on a trip through several sections of Kansas, said In conversation with a State Jour nal reporter:; "We are optimistic re garding ..the outlook. ,We believe there is an unprecedented business in sight. With the auto the farmers can ao more in a given space of time than 'ever before..- They do not need to lose ran entire day ra going to town. They can t. jump In their car, transact the rcessary business in town, and be back on the farm in short order. Con sequently, they are able, to" accom plish a large amount, of work in a day.' The farmers are realizing the advisability "'ot; purchasing cars of quality." -:V, V- J. M. Washburn of the Independent Auto company, in speaking of the tendency: on the part of farmers to buy higher priced cars, said that he was negotiating with one farmer who was determined to buy either a Pierce Arrow or the Lozter. The -former, everyone knows, is a strictly high priced car. rr- Business Is Improving. "Business is picking up among the farmers," said E. G. Kinley, the Ford man. And Mr. Kinley expects to place a large luimtrar of machines out side of Topeka in the next few months. Recent trade has been mainly among business men and salesmen, but the farmers have started to buy. H. H. Clark, the Hudson dealer, said: "Prospects look good. We have more future crders than at any other time this year. We will have three .916 models here r.ext week." The 1913 Machines. With the majority of the automo bile makers the advent of July marks the close of the soealled 1914 season. Not a.11 the cars have been sold, but comparatively few are left and prac tically all of the manufacturing con cerns are through making what have been called the 1914 models. Most-of the -talk among those who are keen fori all that is new In toe automobile world centers around the 1815 models, some of which have al ready been received in Topeka. Few changes have been made in the models thus far received, and it is not expected that the new models of other makes will show any marked Improve ments. Bicycle Popular Again. The. cycle car Is being widely ad vertised and demonstrated. It has not as yet, cut into the motorcycle field perceptibly, as the sale of the two wheelers has been excellent this sea son. The motorcycle has .made a place for Iteelf in the industrial and commercial world, and many firms have added machines to their service equipment this year. Also there are more motorcycles ridden for pleasure than ever. The side car attachment has solved a problem. The bicycle is again coming Into prominence from the standpoint of pleasure. A year ago a girl or woman appearing on the streets of Topeka on a bicycle would have attracted no little attention. At the present time a large number of Topeka girls are riding "wheels." ,V ,i Auto Trade Notes.

During the year 83 civil cases in which the government was a party were disposed of. Of this number but ten were lost by the government and a portion of those which have been ap pealed to higher courts may yet be reversed. Eight of these ten Judg ments against the government were in habeas corpus- cases. Seventy-five criminal cases were disposed of in the year, but four resulting in acquittals.

When the prospective buyer of. an automobile starts to Investigate in Topeka he is at a loss to know Just what make of ear he wants. There are so many cars with new model body and engine design and exclusive fea tures that the "wouldbe" motorist usually calls at the show rooms of each agent who handles the grade of car he wants and ne usually goes several times before he finally decides which car ."to buy. There are found here ears to suit the fancy as well as the purse of each purchaser. They range from the high est grade ears with all the latest touches of 'refinement and a fancy price, to the cars which sell for the lowest prlco of any on the market. In other words you can get anything from a Packard to a Brush Six and almost any kind of an auto truck, and that includes nearly everything In gasoline wagons. To judgo from the number of ears seen on the streets and along the country roads a stranger might con clude that the majority of the people in Topeka and vicinity own automo biles. It la true that a big business has been done in autos, but the busi ness in the next year is expected to eclipse that of previous years. The local dealers are getting in their 115 models and are preparing to do a big business from now until the first of the year.

A freight rate.. order of the public utilities commission, made a. year ago when the ton rate on nut, pea and slack coal from the Pittsburg mining district to Concordia was cut to $1.20, was set aside try District Judge A. W. Dana today, in rendering judgment in the suits of the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific railroads against the utilities commission. A single decision covered the two actions. The application for a reduction of the old rate of J1.64 from Pittsburg to Concordia on coal for factory pur poses was made a year ago by the ice men of Concordia, who undertook to show that the high cost of coal trans portation prevented their competing in the ice-making industry outside a very restricted territory. Based on the fact that -the old slack coal rate gave the railroads a revenue only about one-half the average rev enue earned on their entire systems, or in the state. Judge Dana held that the reduced rate on coal was unfair. Costs of the. action were charged the railroads. KANODE YOUNG lMOTGIt CAR CO. REPAIR WORK A SPECIAIIX.

Copyright, 1914, by the 8 tar Company. All Foreign Rights Reserved. HARRY MARVIN had just entered the little private garage baek of the 'Marvin mansion, locked ths door and drawn ths shades of the small windows. There were only two automo biles In the garage.' One waa the big six cylinder touring car In which Pauline and Owen had mads their trip the day before to the aviation field. The other waa the two-tested runabout that Harry had driven over the same ground just behind them. Having made sure that nobody .waa bout, Harry lifted up the hood of ths touring car and without the slightest provocation attacked it with a wrench. He removed ths carburetor, took it to pieces, lifted out the hollow metal float and deliberately made two puneturea in It. Then he tossed the dismembered parts upon a work bench and was about to operate on tae runabout when he heard voices outside. He was barely In tlms to unlock the door snd be found busily working on the car when Pauline entered. She had Just learned of the chsufftut's absence. Harry volunteered the additional bad news that the big car waa out of order. Like every disappointed Toman, ehe insisted on knowing exactly what waa wrong. Harry told her, with many long technical details, nd, not knowing at all what be was talk ing about, she had to be satisfied. Could he fix It in time to get her to the aviation field before ths race? Well, that depended paitly on whether she would go away and not bother him until breakfast.- Pauline could, and she certa'nly would refrain from bothering him. Never before had Harry found her a bother, nor, for that matter, had any other man in her recollection. Out she went, with more color than usual in her pink cheeks and the light of battle in her eyes. "By George. I've got to play my cards carefully," thought Harry, as he contem- Slated the runabout. It was evident that e had designs on the health of the two seater also. But he felt the necessity of subtlety in this case. He could not assass inate it boldly by tearing out a vital organ as he had done to the bigger car. This runabout must die a slow, lingering death. How was he to do It? His first idea was to weaken the tires and invite "blowouts" on the road. Bat this could not be done with certainty, and some kind friend might sup ply him with new tires. A more promising Ides wss to drain the engine of Its oil, knowing that sooner or later the pistons would run dry and stick. Such a proceeding would ruin the engine, and Harry was too good a mechanic to poll a first rate engine, especially one built by his father. He would as soon think of hamstringing a faithful horse. A better plan soon came to him and put him Into ac tion. It soon had him flat on his back under the car, boring a hole in the bottom of the gssoHne tank. When the life-blood of the car began to trickle out In a stream he stopped the hole with a small wooden peg. The young man now frowned at the only remaining vehicle which had not received his attention, Owen's motorcycle. Harry went to the nose used for washing down the cars and collected a little water In the palm of his hand. With the other 35 Ss,Xi XL ilarrdn Pietnro 7UoSi Actually lev,sW. of Pauline Restored to consciousness by Harry and Pauline, the old man believes It all a dream until, later, he finds ths identical bracelet on the mummy's skeleton wrist. Hs promises Paulina ens year to see life snd places her In the guardianship of Owen. A final heart attack givee him just tlms to writs on ths doctor's proscription pad a vary brief and simpls will. Thsn he dies. A lawyer tells Owen that he would have permanent charge of Pauline'e vaet estate If something ehould happen to -her before ehe marries. Montgomery Hicks, a race-track man, whispers a sug gestlon to Owen, but the secretary refuses to have anything to do with him, for the time at least. In spite of Harry's protest, Owen ar ranges for Paulina to go as a passenger' in sn aeroplane race as the first of her year's adventures. The day of the race has ar rived, and Harry haa -not found a way: to prevent ths rash experience. hand he removed the cap from the motor cycle's tank and allowed two or three drops of water to mingle with the gasoline. This done, Harry let down his sleeves, washed bis hands, and sauntered In to breakfast, wltb the unwelcome announce ment that the Ug car was, for the day at least, beyond human aid. There was a flicker of suspicion in Owen's sallow face at the news. He wondered If Harry had disabled the touring car that he might ride alone with Pauline. "I am afraid," said Harry, quietly, "that you will -have to ride in the runabout alone with me, Polly. It's rather hard on Ray mond, but I guess he must go on his motor cycle or by train." "Oh, I think you wrecked It on purpose,"' said Pauline, without the slightest suspicion that she was stating the truth. Owen, worried by vague misgivings about Harry, looked into ths tank of the runabout to make sure that it was fuil. and then scurried away On his two-wheeled mount. He considered waiting -until the runabout was ready to start and keeping the machine in sight, hut tt seemed wiser to be on the field where he could make sure the Frenchman would not forget his bargain nor start before Pauline arrived. Pauline was ready with such record breaking suddenness that it gave her the novel experience of waiting for Harry. She had not forgotten that her lover had asked her not to bother him while he worked on the car. After that slight to her pride the young lady would rather die than go near the garage while hs was In 1L During the next five minutes un pleasant doubts entered her mind. What could this Indifference and neglect mean? She had looked upon Harry ever since his return from college as a personal pos session. Of course, technically he wasnt hers until shs married him. But if he were not her property, at least shs had an option on the handsome youth until such time as she saw fit to either take, his name or relinquish him to some one else. In that case shs wondered to whom she would like to turn him over. There wss her schoolmate and chum, Miss Ham lin. How lucky any man would be to get her, and Harry how would he feel about It? Then, like a cold draught In her brain came the recollection that Lucille and Harry had corresponded all the four years he was at college. Could it be that she. Pauline, had been too wilful and headstrong with Harry? If so, was it possible that the keen edge of his adoration 'was wearing dull? Paul ine had Just succeeded In stamping these unpleasant questions deep down into the subconscious parts of her mind when the 'young man whisked up In the runabout. Pauline's wrath melted rapidly. Harry drove, as he did everything out in the open air, magniflcently. His judgment of dis tances and openings was precise, and his skill In weaving his way through heavy traffic was startling. A good-looking young man is seldom seen to better ad vantage, especially by a girl, than when driving a powerful car. Pauline loved to drive with Harry. Besides his spectac ular tricks he had a guileless manner ot getting the better of arguments with cross ing policemen. Every time Pauline saw a girl at the side of ths road shs noticed the quick glance of feminine appraisal and approval of her driver, and each time she felt a corresponding joy that this handsome youth was hers. 3!? n: tj.

This fact was Impressed on hsr toy shouts and waving of hands from a car which passed them from behind. "That's Lucille," cried Pauline, waving. "Tea. and, confound it, that's Billy Mad ison taking her to the races." "Well, why shouldn't hs?" asked Paul ine, rian't it all right?" "Tea, but it seems to me hs' is paying a good deal of attention to Lucille and say. Polly, yon don't suppose she'd be silly enough to cars tor him, do yon?" That sensation of a cold wave in the back of her brain came again. Tm sure-1 don't know," shs replied, a little coldly. "Why does it matter very much to you?" Harry hesitated, even stammered a lit tle, in denying that It did. Ho stammered, as Pauline well understood, because he was not telling her his true thoughts. It did matter, and she knew it. In reality It mattered because Harry knew too much about young Madison to want him to win the affection of any friend of bis, bat Harry did not wish to. explain. "So Harry does care for Lucille and al ways haa cared," thought Paulina, The sense of possession of the youth beside her faded and he aeemed far away. If a man fears he is losing his grip on a girl he redoubles his attentions and racks his brains to be more interesting and attrac tive to her. .A girl in the same situation reverses the tact" Just as Harry felt the absolute zero which scientists talk about settling upon him he remembered a very important duty. "Seems to me we don't drift the way we ought to," said Harry, pressing on his clutch pedal and trying to look concerned. "I think we have been a long tlms get ting to the aviation field." was Pauline's chilly answer. Harry stopped the car, went hack and pulled out the little wooden plug In the gasoline tank. Then away they went again, leaving a little wet line in the dust of the road. Pauline stared straight ahead. Harry's attempts at conversation fell on the atony ground of silence, or at best brought forth only the briefest aad most colorless answers. Soon. Harry's practised ear caught the preliminary warning of waning gasoline, and a mo ment later, half way up a gentle hill, with a sob from all Its six cylinders ths car gave np the ghost. A few miles ahead Owen waa In diffi culties. He had been sailing along mer -rily until he stopped at a little roadhouse for a drink. Ths machine had been all right when he got off and he knew no body had touched it, yet now it acted as if possessed by the evil one.

By dint of strenuous pedalling Owen helped the asthmatic motor to the top of the next MIL It ran as smoothly as a watch all the way down the other side and then imitated a bunch of cannon crackers on tho following rise. Owen was a good motorcycle rider, but a very poor mechanic. His machine had been adjusted, cleaned and kept in repair by the Marvin chauffeur, and the secre tary had seldom cause to investigate it on the road. He had always used the care fully filtered gasoline from the garage, so that he neither understood the present alarming symptoms nor knew their sim ple cure. His motor was protesting at a drop of water which had entered the needle valve of his carburetor and, being heavier than gasoline, had lodged there and stopped its flow. It -would have been an easy matter to drain the carburetor, but instead Owen with nervous fingers ad Justed everything hs could get his hands on, and after two hours' work trundled It Into a farmhouse and hired ths farmer to drive him the short remaining distance) to the aviation field. Several machines were In -ths air, bat not the Frenchman's, waen the farmer drove up. The roads and ths edges of the field were alive with cars and spectators as ths secretary hastened to the "han gars." v- The French aviator welcomed Owen and Inquired for the mademoiselle. This confirmed Owen's fears that some thing had happened to hsr on ths way. It N. If Written by Charles GoddarcS, had troubled him a little that the ran about had not passed him on ths road, bu Harry might have -made detour to avoir some section ot bsd road. Owen lost another hour In watching an worrying before he made up his mind t go to the rescue., There were plenty Idle cars, but it was not easy to hire on. as they were mostly guarded by ehauffeu: with no right to rent or lend them, t last- a man waa found who waa willing i pick up $10 and take a chance that h master would not know about it. Chat fsurs are particularly independent ta tl month of June. With the rest of t' world, they suffer from "Spring feve: and at that time of year positions sr ss they well know, mors plentiful to drivers. Ths rescue ear found them just who they had stopped, half way up the hi Paulina had run the scsle of feminine r. noyance. from silence to sarcasm to tea The tears produced almost the same feet on Harry's determination to ke Pauline from flying (hat the drops water had in .Owen's carburetor. T) spectacle of the girl hs loved weeping hi almost broken up his resolve when Owe dashed by, shouted, turned around ac drew np alongside. Harry asked for help, and the chauffeu who had never had ths pleasure of tlnke. Ing with a "Marvin Six," waa Inclined t dismount and aid at least in diagnosing the car's ailment. While he was thinking about it and surveying the parts which Harry had taken out and strewn shoot the running board In his pretended trouble hunt Pauline hsd dashed away her tears and transferred her pretty self to the new ear. Pauline and Owen both knew there waa barely time to reach the field before the Frenchman's ascent. So with scanty farewells Harry was left to reassemble his ear. When he had set np the last not he replaced the little plug in the tank, pro duced a can of gasoline from ths locker behind the seats, emptied It into his tank and drovs at reckless speed for the avia tion grounds. Harry knew that in all probability Paul ine had reached the field In time. He re gretted that she was to take the risk, but he wss serene In knowing that he had done his best In a good cause. Fb.te has a habit ot making It hard for a man like Harry at the start and then making np for tt at the end. Strong men feel this In stinctively, and, when their best-efforts fall, experience a confidence that things will turn out all, right anyway. When Harry mingled with the specta tors he waa just In time to see a tiny speck on the edge of the horizon. This, he learned, was the Frenchman's machine. He waa told that It carried a passenger. The speck grew rapidly In size, developed the Insect shape -of a biplane and soon seemed to be over the other end of the aviation field. The young man's joy at seeing the aeroplane returning in safety was dampened by a little feeling of shame that by such devious means he had almost spoiled Pauline's pleasure. Hs wss ashamed and vowed he would mind his own business in the future. "I act like an old woman worrying Polly this way," he decided. "No wonder she Is cross to me lately. She must think I would be a tyrant ot a" Harry's last words were choked by a spasm of the throat. There were shouts and gestures from the spectators. Something was wrong with the aero- plane. A light gust ot wind had struck It on ths right wing. It wavered an instant, Uke a dragon fly about to alight, and then Instead of responding to the aviator's levers turned on its left side and plunged to the ground. A cloud of dust arose, halt hiding the wreck, and then ths crash of Impact came to his ears. There wss a second of silence, broken by a groan. Harry heard the groan and didn't even know it came from hla own throat. He was In motion now, forcing people to the right and left and running down the field. It seemed miles to the other end, and he was gratefully con scious that others nearer were hurrying to the rescue, if rescue It might be called. r ,1 .1 n far tie Djtaj Aviator amorj tie rrmt'jnfj "Tho Mideadina L&dy" "Tfco from the Sea,?

Would she be conscious and would he be in time to give and receive a last message of love before her splendid young life was quenched In the black blot ot death? Besides grief there waa fury la the runner's heart, wrath .against Owen' tor encouraging this foolish and danger ous caprice, against ths unfortunate driver who had failed to preserve his precious freight, and against nature who condemns every living thing by one means or another to that same final failure and wreck death. Gasping for breath from his exertions, he wss at last within a hundred feet ot the ruin, and saw people lifting np ths engine and removing a limp figure. Just then two people stepped in his way. Hs did not torn out but rushed straight at them, rather glad to have something to hurl aside In his blind anger, nor did he notice that one was a woman. Harry's prangs carried him between them and knocked both down, just as he had often -bowled over the "interference" In his football games. On he lurched, wonder ing vaguely at hearing his name called. He heard it again and it Bounded like Pauline's voice. He turned, and It was Pauline. -"After all, then, Pauline had arrived too late had missed that fatal adventure. Pauline realized her fortunate escape. She was overcome with horror and swayed dizzily and fainted. Owen watched .Harry lift Pauline np and wrap her in his anna with a squeeze that hurt. But It was a hurt she loved and though she sobbed as it her heart would break they were sobs of relief and hap piness. Harry thought they were tears of penitence and that this lesson would be the end of her year of adventures. Bat Harry knew not bis Pauline. Owen watched a moment aad then slunk away to follow the men who had lifted a blackened and broken figure from beneath the ruined flyer. The secretary saw ths aviator taken Into the neat white hospital tent which had been erected on the field. Owen's schemes bad been for nothing. Pauline was alive and happy In her lover's arms, and the secretary wss no nearer his goal of permanent control of her estate than before. He was a disappointed and discouraged man and a scoundrel, but hs waa not so hardened that the possibility of having a murder, especially a useless murder, on his soul could -be viewed with calmness. Sohe walked to the entrance of the tent aad tried to learn from the nurses and doctors who wore hurrvina- in ana cot wn whether the French aid live or die. No- aviator would body would stop to civs him a satisfactory answer. There was a flap in the back of the tent, and through this Owen cauti ously peered. He saw a nurse with something that looked like wet absorbent cotton dabbing at a round black object. Presently he saw that the round object was the head of a man blackened by fire. Just then the nurse looked up, saw Owen's guilty f see and gave a little exclamation of dismay. At' the same Instant Owen felt a hand grasp his elbow. With drawing hla head from the tent, he turned quickly and was eon fronted by the red face of Hicks, the blackmailer, coun sellor and dream messenger. The secretary backed away from Hioks with a face of ter ror.

Twenty-four cities, averaging 342,486 in population, pay an average rate of $53 under competition, while the remaining 36 cities, averaging 188, C29 in population, without competition, pay $81. Even where competition is absent there does not appear to be any rational order of rates. Stockton, Cal., with 23,253 population, pays the same rate (360) as Des Moines. Iowa, with 46,K6s, and pays twice as much as Johnstown, Pa., with 65.482 population, and only $24 less than Chicago, I1L, under corape-, tition. I should utter a caution against the spirit of prejudice likely to be elicited by the great disparity shown in the rates under postal and private financiering. The gentlemen who are exploit ing this service for profit as their private property have, doubt less, decided correctly that the American rates yield the very maximum of profit. This is what people do in the conduct of a hotel, I suggest. True, this is what we all should do if we could: it is the normal rule of private financiering. But com petition plays its part where monopoly private financiering is in admissible and protects us from ourselves. So we do not blame the individual. He Is obeying the laws of his nature. But the government, without whose incidental approval or protection such a monopoly could not exist is it to be held blameless for abandoning' its 'function and submitting its citizens to exactions which are the scandal of public-service rates the world over, and with which -only our express rates can justly be compared (This is an extract from the speech of David J.

The July Issue of the Southwest Trail, a monthly magazine issued by the Rock Island Lines, contains two arti cles on the growing of sweet clover on farms near Topeka. One of the arti cles, written by Victor H. Schoffelmay er, deals with clover crowing on the Boulder Gate farm near Topeka which is owned by O. Fred Miller. The other contains the experiences with sweet clover of Colonel J. F. True of To peka. The July issue of the magazine Is entirely devoted to the sweet clover industry. H. M. Cottrell. agriculture commissioner of the Rock Island Lines, says: "Sweet clover will soon become one of the important crops of the United States. It thrives in the dry farming districts of the west and under the heavy rainfall of eastern and southern states. It yields well in hot and cold countries. It flourishes in land too acid for alfalfa and in land so strong with alkali as to kill most crops. It pros pers on hard, heavy soils, on good loamy soils and on sandy soils. It thrives on the hard, clay soils of the southwest, and is little injured In the south when covered by water during an overflow.. It makes good pastures for horses, cattle, hogs and sheep and sweet clover hay ranks next.-to alfalfa in feeding value. ;.r-, Best on Bard firoaau. "The best stand of sweet clover is secured on hard ground. It is difficult to get a good stand on mellow land. Sweet clover roots are large and coarse and bore down deeply into hard soils. They are powerful and cheap subsoil era. The tubercles take plant food from the air and add it to the soil. After sweet clover has grown for a few years on hard, heavy soils they be come mellow and rich and are easily worked. "Sweet clover can be sown on raw, unplowed prairie and will thrive among the native grasses, increasing the length of the pasturing season, improving the quality of the feed and increasing the carrying capacity of the pasture. "The farmer who has a soil and cli mate adapted to alfalfa has no use for sweet clover. The farmer whose soil is too acid or contains too much alkali or Is too hard and stiff or too poor or too badly washed or flooded or .In too dry a climate for alfalfa; needs sweet clover. After he learns to raise and feed it he will be able to secure nearly as much profit from it per acre as does his neighbor from alfalfa on land and conditions well adapted to alfalfa." On G. Fred Miller Farjnv As to sweet clover growing on the G. Fred Miller farm, the Southwest Trail article says: "Eleven years ago G. Fred Miller, of Boulder Gate farm. near Topeka, Kan., mowed a strip of sweet clover growing along the road and with the seed sowed an experi mental patch which proved so remu nerative that he decided to laise the crop on a large scale. He has about 200 acres of sweet clover at present. "He considers the crop the equal of alfalfa on average land and is superior on heavy and worn out soils. Prob ably the best showing of sweet clover as a green forage crop was made last October when Mr. Miller pastured 250 Utah sheep, all ewes, on 30 acres of clover and twelve acres of alfalfa. The sheep were kept on pasture until December 30, when they were weighed and had made a gain of eight and one half to ten pounds a head." The article also contains a cut show ing one of Mr. Miller's clover fields. Experiences of CoL True. In the article dealing with the growing of sweet clover for 42 years by Col. True of Topeka, the editor of the Southwestern Trail says: "CoL J. F. True tried to eradicate the crop after introducing it into Kansas, but he lives to become an ardent advocate of its merits." "I have watched all kinds of stock eat sweet clover," said Col. True,. "and they like it. Hogs eat it as if it were alfalfa, as long as it is not allowed to grow too rank. "In cattle pastures I have seen It thicken when alfalfa was dying out It will Btand almost any kind of abuse within reason." "His present stand of 40 acres will be cut for seed this year," says the article in closing. "The acreage will be increased annually. THE BEST GASOLINE.
