WAR PREPARATIONS IN FRAKCE Soldiers of the Bepublic Con centrate on the Frontier. Paris Is Making Beady for Possible Siege. St. Petersburg, July 29. A dispatch from Belgrade says the Servian capital has been bombarded and the bridge over the river Save blown up. London, July 29. Reports of the massing of armies in strategic points came from all points of Europe today but no actual clash of opposing forces was registered. Diplomats concentrated their atten tion on efforts to confine the war to Austria-Hungary and Servia, the two nations immediately concerned in the quarrel and the attitude of the German and Russian emperors was closely watched owing to their near relations to the countries engaged. Premier Asqulth referred to the in ternational situation in the house of commons, but all the Information that he was able to impart was contained in a few words. "The situation at this moment," he said, "ia one of extreme gravity and I can only say that the British govern ment is not relaxing its efforts to do everything in its power to circumscribe the area of conflict. "The British gover nment has re ceived no information as to an alleged revolutionary outbreak in Russian Poland." Austria-Hungary and Servia re sounded tod with, the march of troops toward positions of attack and defense, while -military aviators on both sides flitted through the air along the frontiers in an effort to discover their opponents' positions. v Censorship Is Rigid. No idea of the plan of campaign could be obtained by the general pub lic, however, owing to the rigidity of the censorship in regard to military movements. It was known that the Austro-Hungary government had requisitioned the entire train service and that private transportation in the dual morarchy had ceased. It was gleaned from dispatches from Servian points that the Bosnian frontier was looked upon as the most likely point of attack of the Austrian troops, and thither the soldiers of King Peter were hurried in great numbers. The Mon tenegrin soldiers, evidently preparing to support their brother Serbs, also concentrated along the Bosnian fron tier. The stock exchanges everywhere in Europe were demoralized and where they were not closed business was al most at a standstill. David Lloyd" ueorge, jsr;tisr cnancellor or the ex chequer, today made the financially tranquillizing statement, in the house of commons, that the Bank of England saw nothing in the present financial situation to make it necessary to call a meeting cl banners to deal with it. France Prepares for War. Paris, July 29. France continues quietly to prepare for war. The troops oi tne active army are gradually con centrating near tne irontier. A mili tary guard has been placed in the great flour mills at Corbeil, near Paris, which in the event of war would be taken over by the army. The bakers in Paris are laying in large stocks of flour and the city authorities to pre vent all possibility of famine in the capital, started forming today a re serve store of 15,000 tons of flour. The police department is exercising a gen eral surveillance over Austrians and Germans in Paris where many thou sands of them reside. The prefect of police ordered the discontinuance of the service of the public at tables on the sidewalks and on terraces in front of cafes in conse quence of disorders which have oc curred since the beginning of the ten sion. The government made an appeal to the press to keep calm and care fully to verify its news concerning the crisis before publishing it. Adolphe Messimy, minister of war, today visited the military wireless station on the Eiffel tower and order ed the staff to be doubled, the officers to remain on duty day and night, j -President Potncare's re'jrn to Paris today from his visit to Russia was made the opportunity for a manifesta tion of patriotic feeling by some thou sands of young men belonging to the League of Patriots of which Deputy Maurice Barres is president. The demonstrators gathered at the railroad station and cheered the president on his arrival. They then forme into columns and marched behind the presi dent's carriage to the palace of the Kiysee, immense crowds cheering them ns they went by. The army, the presi dent and the French republic were all cheered enthusiastically by the people. The windows along the route were crowded with women, who showered flowers into the president's carriage as it passed. The government today prohibited an anti-war meeting called by the revolu tionary labor organization. The Temps says Russia was officially informed about Half past twelve this afternoon that Austria-Hungary would respect the territorial integrity of Ser via. an.l wishes oven to abstain from occupying Belgrade, the Servian capital. Russian Mobilization. .London, July 29 The present Rua- WEDNESDAY slan mobilization order affects only the J Russian frontier contiguous to Aus-i tria and not the German frontier. Itl is confined to the military Kiev. Odessa, Moscow and Kazan. The peace footing: of each of these districts is four army corps each numbering 40,000 men, or a total of 640.000 men. The command to mobilize doubles this total, so that 1,280,000 men are af fected by the order. PEACE jtlXEXICO Carranza and Carbajal Said to Have Beached Agreement. Government Will Be Turned Over to Rebels. Washington, July 29. General Car ranza and President Carbajal have agreed on a basis for the arrangement of peace in Mexico, according to a message received here here today by Jose Castellot, present representative of Carbajal. Mr. Castellot showed Secretary Bry an his latest advices from Mexico City, which stated that General Villar and Justice Allcnde, Carbajal's delegates to Carranza, have been instructed to carry out in detail the general basis of peace "already agreed upon." That was interpreted by Mr. Castel lot to mean that through private channels and through Reginaldo Ce- peda, advance delegate of the Carbajal government, l ow with General Car ranza, a de"-ite understanding has been reached for a peaceful transfer of the government at Mexico City to the constitut.unalists. Wth respect to amnesty and guarantees. General Carranza, it i understood, will prom ise immunity to all except those di rectly responsible for the overthrow of Madero. Practically all those said to be guilty have fled Mexico, and that ex ception will not be opposed by the Carbajal government. It is expected that within a few days the Carbajal delegation will bave worked out the details of an agree ment Diplomats here expect that one of the first questions will be on rec ognizing the protocols signed at Niag ara Falls between the United States and the Huerta government. Ap proval of these by the constitutional ists probably will mean recognition by the United States, Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Agreement by which Za pata forces are to co-operate with the constitutionalists in restoring peace throughout Mexico has been arranged by delegates and now requires only the signature of Carranza and Zapata before being made public. A definite idea of General Villa's intentions is expected soon. WHAT AILS BUSINESS. President WDsott Is Told That It Ia Uncertainty. Washington, July ?9. President Wilson held another conference today on business conditions and the pend ing trust bills, with a delegation of business men representing varied in terests throughout the country. A delegation of wholesalers presented a brief, opposing 'he one-price and ex clusive agency features of the Clayton bill, and se -ral sections of the trade commission bill. They told Mr. Wilson that they ap proved of the pending legislation in a general way and thought it necessary to prevent unfair competition, but feared some of its features would seriously in terfere with business organizations operated on a small scale. For more than naif an hour the presi dent and the business men Inad a detail ed discussion. Mr. Wilson explained his view of the purposes of the legislation and afterward the leaders of the dele gation said they were greatly en couraged by his attitude. Hugh Chalmers, of Detroit, tpld the president he believed the greatest trouble with business was uncertainty, and he believed the trust bills should be passed as quickly as possible. Business had been bad for the last few- months, he said. He looked for great improvement as soon as the trust bills were out of the way and the interstate commerce commission gives its decision on the freight rates In creases. VESSELS ARE PLENTY Galveston Agents Put Embargo Causes Up to Elevator Men. Galveston, July 29. L"cal grain and steamship agencies today claimed there was no truth in reports circulated after the announcement of a five days' em bargo on grain shipments to Galveston that only nine vessels had cleared this season with grain. Records here, it is said, will show that since June 15, twenty-five vessels have cleared, car rying a total of 4,624,893 bushels of wheat, of which 4,272,280 was cleared this month. To contradict reports that there are 8,000 cars of wheat now on the tracks here, it was pointed out that receipts for all of July to date were 7,188 cars. The steamship agencies denied any shortage cf vessels, one agency an nouncing it would have an average of one vessel per day to clear for the next thirty days. WILL HEAR ROOSEVELT Senate Committee Will Listen to What He Has to Say. Washington, July 29. The senate for eign relations committee today decided to inform Col. Roosevelt in response to his request for a hearing in opposi tion to the treaty to pay Colombia $25,000,000 for the partition of Panama, that he would be heard whenever the committee determined to take up the convention. Senators said, however, that it was not probable that any fur ther consideration of the treaty would be held at is session of congress. "I shall write CoL Roosevelt a letter today." said Chairman Stone, "telling him that if the committee should decide to take up -"-he Colombian treaty at this session that we s"iall communicate with him further and we will be glad to hear from him.

The wheat embargo against Gal veston will be raised by midnight Sat urday, by which' time the congestion at that port will be relieved, Santa Fe HERE'S CENTER OF officials say. The four Galveston ele vators, from which wheat is loaCed into ships for export, will by Saturday have i.heir day and 'night forces in good working order, and be in a posi tion to handle the rush. This is, in substance, the telegraphic dispatch received from Galveston this morning by J. R. Koo: tz, general freight agent of the Santa Fe railway, who returned from Chicago last night. "The embargo should not be re garded as harmful by Kansas wheat a-rowers." M Koontz said. "In fact. they may feel that it is a good thing I for them, because there is an advance in wheat prices, and the embargo en ables them to be more of a factor in the control of prices than if the wheat were tied up in a port blor ide. dear Decks by Saturday. "By the end of this week, the Gal veston elevators will have materially increased their efficiency, according to the statement to the carriers, and we hope to be able after Saturday to main tain an uninterrupted stream of wheat from Kansas to that port. If the situa tion proves to be otherwise, our pat rons can depend upon it that the rail roads will go the limit in protecting their interests by preventing a conges tion of wheat at Galveston or any other market There are cars sufficient for the present wheat movement and the congestion is not due to the rail roads or the shippers, but to the trou ble attending the opening of the eleva tor season, when green hands have to be employed." The Galveston News of Sunday had a story to the effect-that the elevators would be equal to any emergency when the new men "get onto the rones." The News also said that there were plenty' of ships, giving a list of forty-live steamers now on me way to Galveston for loading. Six ships were loaded Saturday.- the News reported. Wheat vessels entering the port of Galveston can accommodate from 250,000 to 300,000 bushels of wheat. Can Store Msx-h Wheal The capacity of the elevators at Gal veston is 3,750.000 bushels. When- mov ing well, the elevators can handle from 35 to 40 carloads of wheat an hour. A car averages 1,000 bushels. "The reports of the number of cars side tracked at Galveston have varied from 1-000 to US. 000. According to local railway of- Ucials the first number is more, prob- 'jjjj TOPEKA. EAH3AS.

Despite great strain and a sudden drop of more than 4 cents a. bushel, wheat traders today escaped any failures, and most of the time were acting under fairly normal conditions. The close, however, showed sensational weakness values falling away 1 cent in a few minutes and finishing at virtually tne lowest figures of the day, 3 5-8 to 4 3-8" under last night.

It was said nearly every house in the srain trade was required to submit a statement of ua unities and that it was this nro- cedure which brought about the. callinv of margins to the almost unheard of extent or 10 to 20 cents on all trades.

Instead of ad vancing, as most traders expected, the wheat market today made-a startling break right at the opening. First prices were down more than 2 cents a busheL In another minute the market had dropped an additional 2 cents or more then there was a sudden rebound of more than 3' cents --followed by i other descent but in this cuss not quite so violent. J- The pits and galleries were crowded to capacity. Spectators and traders were standing- tiptoe with craning necks and arms aloft. Nevertheless the commotion, among the .traders af ter operations actually began was de cidedly less .tumultuous, than yester day when news was received that war had been- declared. There "seemed to be a decided effort on all sides to keep cool and '.evel heads.' -jo. extreme point of. the break in the early trading was 4 cents under last nisnt. xne maraet graouaiiy steaawa approximately 3 cents down for active months and less so for other options. The directors of the Chicago board of trade held a special meeting this morn ing to discuss the advisability ox clos ing the-board because of the present tense situation. After reviewing the conditions the directors decided to let the board remain open for the tirna be ing awaiting developments. Althouzh naif an nour alter ama- lng had opened troops of spectators were still crowding, up the stairways and iammin. the galleries, tna tur moil in the trading pita bad by that time subsided. Moat of the crowd in the wheat pit was finding opportunity for good-natured chaffing. According to the official figures, wheat opened to 1 lower than yesterday's close. Almost wlthcut exception the opening agures were the highest reached. The fact that tho- gh English consols were lower than for a hundred years, the Liverpool wheat market had risen only-about .ne-half as much aa the Chicago market was influential in steadying prices here. Other ata. ea fluctuated actively, but price changes were hardly more than normal.

Assertions that foreigners were selling her and that export demand should come to a complete standstill br Might about weakness after prices dropped at Liverpool. Announcement that all firms on change had safely passed the clearing house brought out immediate evidence of relief. The feeling of improved con fidence because of no failures having occurred was reflected by an active ad vance of prices. The upturn in some cases amounted to more than a cent a bushel. Bankers Support Market. New York, July 29. There was a big opening in the wheat market with prices down about 4 under heavy liq uidation by yesterday buyers,- but pri ces later rallied 2 cents a bushel on less favorable news and a renewal of excited buying. Cotton on the other hand broke from 11 to 24 points in response to weak ca bles and the gloomy European outlook together with prospects for rain In Texas. Coffee opened weak and 'from 19 to 24 points on quite active selling prompted by the weak European mar kets. A general rally followed the early de moralisation, some stocks, notably Ca nadian Pacific selllne well above yes terday's close. The movement bad all the Indications of substantial banking support together with extensive in vestment purchases by socalled bargain hunters.

Madame Henrietta Caillaux. wife of x-Premier Joseph Caillaux, was acquitted last night after a trial lasting nine days, on the charge of murdering, on March 16, last. Gas ton Calmette, editor of the Figaro. Mme. Caillaux staggered and then threw her arms about the neck of her counsel. Fernand Labori. Her hair was undone, falling over her shoulders, and her hat dropped to the floor. The BDectators stood upon desks and "Caillaux! Labor!!" and cries of fniiinn-r assassin." merged into one. The din was deafening, several groups of barristers came to blows, and ihp republican guards, in an en deavor to separate them. Joined in the melee. The spectacle of Labor! and Chenu, the latter counsel or tne jai mottp fnmilv. embracing each other, calmed the tumult for a moment, but It was redoubled wnen tney leu wim Mmn. Caillaux.

By way of a number of narrow corridors and back staircases, she reached a small side door in the palace of Justice, where a motor car was waiting and drove away unobserved. Demonstrations against the Caillaux verdict occurred in several places. In the boulevards excited crowds, discuss ing the merits of the case, grew to large propoitlons, and, when the Jury's verdict became known, there were shouts of derision and cries of "Down with Caillaux." In one section the mob became so disorderly that mounted republican guards were hastily summoned. A large number of police and rioters were injured, and many arrests were made. -The Figaro office was the scene of Wildest demonstrations. The victim of Mme. Caillaux's pistol had in his possession certain letters written to' ber by her husband before his divorce from his first wife. These letters the editor of the Figaro was threatening to publish. He had made frequent attacks on Caillaux through the columns of the Figaro, and it was shown at the trial that the former premier himself had threatened personal violence. To pre vent this, Mme. Caillaux bought a re volver, practiced siootliig at a mark drove to the editorial rooms, asked to see Calmette. was admitted, and shot him. A Cold Blooded Deed. The cold blooded assassination of Calmette by Mme. t aillaux last March created a tremendous sensation In France and throughout Europe. The deliberate character of the deed and the prominence of the principals made the incident more sensational than anything that had occurred in Europe In r years. While public feeling in France was at first agali.st the slayer, her apolo gists soon came to the front, and ven went so far as to say that her act was Justifie In the preliminary examination she expressed regret that he had killed the editor, and de clared she i erely Intended warning him.

Last January Calmette published a four-column art under the heading, "Th-- Secret Combination of M. Cail laux and His Personal Political Treasury."- In this article the Figaro edi tor attempted to show that the finance minister naa meo to extort money from the heirs of Prieu, the French man whose Brazilian concessions were old by the French government and proceeds retained by the treasury. In subsequent articles, Caillaux was called a grafter, nd the charge made that he used every means to secure personal aggrandisement. Cleaner Politics Wanted.

Danvilte, 111., July 29. Joseph O.

The commit tee and those in consultation informed me that they had unanimously agreed to a resolution declaring it to be their Judgment that tbe sentiment of Re publicans generally favored my oeing a candidate for congress. "I had not sought the nomination and so told the committee, but after con sultation I agreed to become a candi date, subject only to the primary elec tion to be held on the tth day of September. If nominated I will make a vigorous campaign for my election. If another Republican shall be chosen I will make a vigorous campaign for his election. "I have been a Republican since the organization of the party. During that time I have been your representative In congress fT 38 years, a member of the committee on appropriations for 24 years and its chairman for 13 years. "I was speaker of the house "or 8 years. Since I first represented you the population of our country has leaped from 38 to 100 millions. "Our railway mileage has been mul tiplied by t-.ix. Production on the farm and in our industries has kept pace with tbe increase of means of trans portation. All this has been by labor receiving more than double the com pensation paid to our competitors in the world. This would be Impossible without a tariff, levied upon compet ing products of the world seeking our markets, equal to the difference of the cost ot production in the world and In the United Statea For this kind of a tax the Republican party stands and as one Republican I stand. This is protection. "In my judgment the tariff law now on the statute book, enacted by a subserv ient congress, at tbe dictation of Presi dent Wilson, is responsible for the pres ent condition of the country, which con dition will not permanently Improve until it is replaced by a law In harmony with Republican policies. "The Republican party has ever been tnd is now, a progressive party, but It stands for progress as conditions arise. Progress based on sanity, not on hysteria flavored with demagogy. "We are trying Wilson's Democratic policy. If you like K. choose a Democrat louse in November next. If you don't like It return a Republican house that will tie the hands of the president in dictating further destructive legislation.' DIVIDED THEY STAND. Nebraska Republicans and Boll Moose Are Far Apart. Lincoln, Neb.,' July 29. Harmony pro grams planned for both the Republicans and Progressives were carried out ap proximately at their state conventions here. An attempt at the Republican meeting to declare against the primary system of nominations was voted down. The Republican platform condemns the Democratic tariff law as a sectional measure which has discriminated against the products of Nebraska, and declares for a nonpartisan tariff commission In framing future tariff laws. It declares Colombia has no shadow of claim on the tin. ted States for acquisition by this eoui y of the Panama canal sons and condemns the administration for its pro posal to pay Colombia 125.400,000 In satis faction of Its claims- The woman suf frage and prohibition issues are not touched upon. The Progressive convention adopted a platform containing planks for woman suffrage, the recall of Judicial decisions relating to public rights; indorsed initia tive, referendum, presidential primaries, public ownership of utilities, for a more stringent white slave law, and for na tional prohibition, and proclaimed Theo dore Roosevelt the greatest statesman of modern times. Pronounced opposition to the pending Colombian treaty was voiced. TO BURY THE HATCHET Nebraska Democrats Convene Pre pared to Harmonise Differences. Columbus, Neb., July 28. Early ar rivals for the state Democratic con vention were agreed there would be no trouble over the principal business of tbe convention the adoption of a platform. Pre--onventlon talk of dif ference on the propriety of putting a woman suffrage plank in the platform did not materialise. The endorsement of national and state officials appeared to be accepted as, a matter-: of course, with equal praise of all of them. -Representatives of United States Senator Hitchcock agreed that any differences there might have been between President Wilson and Senator Hitchcock at Washington would be buried at to day's convention.

Uzhltza, on the Bosnian frontier, and to Svilajanats, in the eastern part of the country, while strong divisions of volunteers re inforced by tbe regulars were garner ing at the river Drina, near Losnits, on the Bosnian frontier. The Montenegrins were also making preparations and had stationed a brigade with a mountain battery near PriboJ. where women were busy build ing earthworks. Servian and Austrian aviators at the same time were flying along the frontiers trying to locate the opposing forces. As far as a general European war is concerned, diplomats in London, while they confess the situation is most grave, believe there is hope of avoiding a conflict as long as the Austro-Russian question "conversa tions" continue at St. Petersburg. An other danger has arisen, owing to the uneasiness in Germany, at the prepa rations being made by Russia along her frontier. Ordinarily, Germany and Austria nave tbe advantage over Russia In being able to mobilise more quickly, and they do not wish to lose this advantage. Reports have come through from Vienna that the Russian Poles have organized a revolution and blown up several mags tines, but no confirma tion of this has come to hand from other sources. Trying to Hold It Down. Vienna, July 29. Germany and Italy today continued their efforts to localize the war declared by their al ly. Austria-Hungary, against Servia and the efforts of all the European diplomats are being directed toward the same object. No further declara tion bad been received up to this morning from Russia and that coun try also had made no fresh -attempt to intervene in the controversy. The Russian ambassador to Austria-Hungary conferred with Count Leopold Von Berchtold Austro-Hungarian for eign minister but it is understood the interview was only for the purpose of obtaining information. Nothing whatever is known here of the reported intention of Russia to make a declaration of neutrality in case Austria-Hungary should renounce the idea of territorial expansion, at the expense of the Balkan state. When the British ambassador here called on Count Von Berchtold to submit the mediation proposal put forward by Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign sec retary, he was Informed that the good intentions of Great Britian were ap preciated but that war had been de clared already. Dispatches received nere dated at Warsaw, Poland, report that .several powder .magazines exploded in that clay on Monday, and? that several bomb explosions occurred in the prin cipal postofBces, many persons being killed or wounded. Another telegram says the entire cftadel of Warsaw was blown up. and that a semi-official ex planation declared the explosion to have been caused by lightning. The dispatch stated here was no truth in the report that a revolution had broken out ar-ong the Russian Poles. CaDed to tbe Colors. Washington.

A telesrram from Premier Pachitch of Servia to the Ser vian legation in London rearistera a formal complaint In regard to the Aus trian attacks cn Servian merchant ves sels on the Danube. It says; "The Austro-Hungarian military and civil authorities fired throughout the day on July 28 without the slightest provocation from our side and damaged three of our trading vessels at Kosto lata on the Danube.- The Servian flags were hauled down and replaced by the Austrian colors.' There were, however, no casualties." AHfl-War Demonstrations. Stuttgart,' Wurtemburg, Germany, July 29.

Information from Democratic leaders in congress that adjournment might be expected about August 25, led President Wilson to begin laying- plans for his vacation. The president has been bearinc- nr. wall under the hot weather of the last few weeks, but is anxious to get Mrs. Wil son away from Washington and prob ably will leave for his summer home at Cornlsh, New Hampshire, Just as soon as congress adjourns. He plans to go to Baltimore early In September for the star spangled banner celebration there but so far has not accepted any of many other invitations for meetings during August and September. late in September or early in October Mr. Wilson, rrobably will go into Penn sylvania, Iowa and several other states to help Democratic candidates in their campaigns.

TO?mA DHg2 XttSfiTTTZBZZZDAY UVELilXO, JUL? 3, 1014. f v V v R FOUR OUTOF FIVE Grower's Marvelous Pitching Hel4 Des Moines Club. Topeka Bunched Hits for Three Runs Score, 3 to 2.. VISITORS AT HIS MERCY Local Infielders Grab Every thing in Their Beach. Visitors' Pitchers Are Going Bad Team in a Slump. Mr. Grover, recently acquired from the Omaha club, performed Tuesday and further convinced Manager Dick Cooley and the Topeka fans that he is "some" mound artist. The Des Moines pitchers were not in condition but with all this, sensational fielding kept the locals fighting; for every inch. Grover was practically invincible while work ing against the slumping Boosters, and was successful in annexing another vic tory. This is a record of four victories In the series of five games. Nick Lakaff, who acted as relief man In the opening game, essayed to defeat the Topeka club, but was unable to turn the trick. His own team is in a batting slump, and with Grover pitch ing like a major leaguer and his team mates fielding everything in reach, there appeared to be no chance for the visiting club. The Topeka club scored off LckafT in the third and sixtn innings, but made him pitch out of a hole in the first inning. Grover appeared somewhat unsteady In the ear'y part of the game, but set tled down and was pitching better at the end than at any time during the session. The infield worked good be hind him. The Des Moines club was first to score. With two out in the third in ning, Forsythe dropped Hahn's easy fly In right field. Hahn took two bases and scored on Hunter's triple to right center. urrell and Jones walked, fill ing the bases, but irover tightened' up and fanned Haley. In the last of the same inning, with two out. La Flambois singled, stole sec ond and scored on Forsythe's single along the left field foul line. Koerner went out, Burrell to Jones. The Dee Moines club scored again in the fourth Inning and that proved to be their final score. With one out, Breen and Hart ford doubled in succession, the former scoring lakaft fanned and Hahn flew out The Topeka club could noi keep up the pace but waited until the sixth In ning and then scored two which put them one in the lead and p oved to br the winning runs. With two out, Koer ner drew a pass, and scored on Rapps triple along the right field foul line, Tallion singled, scoring Rapps. Tallion need the inning when he was thrown out at second, while stealing. The Boosters threatened to score ft the seventh, when with two out, Bur rell singled, stole second and went tc third when F.apps overthrew second, Jones walked and stole second, but Haley fanned and ended the inning. In the eighth, with nnn nut Rni doubled, went to third on a 'fielders choice and Shaw, batting for Pitcher uruer. BirucK out. The score: TOPEKA. Players- AE. H. H. P. A. K.

WE HAVE WITH US TC3AY The Hon. Pa Rourke, Price Knocker of the Unlrerse, With His Group of Fussy Bashi Bazouks From Omaha. (By Harvey Parsons.) The Hon. D. G. Cooley frequently called Dick because his name is not Richard might be a frost as an agri culturist. He might plant eggs and expect to get a crop of egg plants. He might pull a number of horticultural and agricultural bones. But as an authority on the national pastime he is there like a puddle full of ducks. Left to his own devices, and unaided by merchant princes who happen to own stock in the team, he not infre quently picks some real ball players from the ball-player bush. On a cer tain Tuesday p. m., not over 24 hours agone, a small bunch of choice fans reaffirmed their statement to the ef fect that he had picked something other than a quince when he picked the Grover person for a pitcher. The Grover person pitched a consistent game from pork chops to apple sauce, and the enemy, in their last stand, used three pitchers in an attempt to copper his jack. The whole ensemble was better than the Monday offering, but needed the presence of a pitcher every minute. Grover was there, ana answered thu purpose. The game started with an assort ment of fan outs, put outs and fade outs, and it was not until the third inning that the visitors copped one, to-wit and thus: Hunter hit a three bagger, scoring Hahn, who was re posing on first. That made Mr. Coo ley's corsairs sore, so they retaliated by tying it something after this man ner: The recently-acquired war whoop, M'sieu La Flambois, hit his way to first, skated to second on the posterior portion of his pantalettes, and scored when Mr. Forsythe swat ted a single. All of which added in terest to the game, and caused the 11 paid admissions to si', up and take observations. In the next, or fourth period, the Iowans took the lead with a couple of doubtful doubles. Breen doubled to right. It was a foul, and the ump said so, but reversed his decision and lef: said Breen on the outpost. Hartford doubled down the same foul line, but on the Inside of it, scoring the Mr. Breen, who made half the trip on a phony pass. Thus went it for another inning, with the enemy one ln the lead, but in the sixth things begn to occur. The first thing that occurred was Honest Willie Rappa With two down and Koerner on first by virtue of a walk, H. Willie bit one right on the thorax for three pillows, scoring said Koerner. Tallion walked up. Just like that, and pasted another to a point that left him on first, and H. Bill flagging his freight over the home plate. It certainly beats three of a kind how they do chirk up with two down and a dismal outlook. It becomes a sacrea auty to give Hon. Willie Rapps a lot of credit marks for the Tuesday gams. Honest Willie Rapps. It was about this time in the awfter noon that Hon. Red Andreas decided that Mr. Lakaff was punctured. Mr. Turner was tried and found wanting. Then Mr. Morgrldge the more or less terrible Morgrldge was called in from the griddle where he had been warming, and told to continue the act. Morgrldge prevented a grand revival of old-time base tunning, but he didn't do anything that helped the base run nlng of his own gang, and the lnci dent closed, in the ninth, with a pair of pop-outs and a fan. One, or several, for that matter. may observe, perchance they are clev er observers, that Hon. Cooley is losing flesh. Whether it is the worry connected with hiding a newly-acquired pitcher under .the bed so that the stockholders can't peddle him be fore there is a chance to use said pitcher in a game, or his activities on the coach line. Is a matter of con jecture, but the tact remains that Mr. Cooley is losing nesn. We have with as this afternoon. perchance weather permits, that world-famous sea-food (polite English for "crab') Mon. Pa Rourke. Pa is the Joy of baseball interviewers. Pa's idea of an umpire is graphic, but an printable. L In describing any umpire, he begins at the fighting; word and works upward by Jumps. Tuesday's game was poorly attend' ed. The writer is a poor estimater of the number of owls ln a large tree. but suspects that seventy-five or a hundred paid admissions were present. And, with the exception of about five, who came ln on a car that reached the park during the fifth in ning, taey were all on the Job and waiting to be curtained at 8 o'clock. Some day the fallacy that the 8:80 arrangement gathers a better crowd, win be exploded ln this column, with figures gleaned from the street-car cash registers. Anyone who can set to a. ball game before 6:80 can get there at 3 sharp, and does It, There is a lot of pure bunk floating around oar flair village, but the bunk that the most to the ton la the bunk GOSSIP OV THE SPORTS. Baseball people are begtnnin to dis cuss the probabilities for next year. Some think that organised baseball will make peace with the Feds; others think mat tu Class A a leagues will be giv en a major league rating and believe that will prove to be an effective club to use against the outlaws. Rearrangement of circuits at) Dears to be one of the most favorite discus sions. There will be changes, without any doubt, but they will be made for the purpose of combating the Feds or a peace pact will be made whereby a third or probably fourth major league will.be organised to include some of the Federal league towns thus causing con tinuous baseball In all the major league cities. As one writer sees things, the Class A A leagues will demand major league rating to escape the ravages of the draft rule and he thinks they would be satisfied with this. Another says that if the high moguls of baseball deny the demand of the big minors the latter will start an in surrection which will make the present conditions seem like a teu party ln comparison. The Feds have exacted a heavy tool from the majors and Class A A league must suffer again by the draft route this fall. Changes ln the Western league may be made to exclude the Topeka, Wich ita and Denver clubs but this is doubt ful. If these towns want to retain their franchises. These franchises are per petual and nothing but the unanimous consent of the club owners can cause them to be taken away from the towns if the holders are unwilling to part with them. The rearrangement as suggested. should the Feds return to organized baseball, places Class A A teams In towns which represent two powerful territories, which they claim would support major league baseball. One of these circuits Is In the east and the other ln the west. The eastern circuit, as proposed, would comprise Baltimore, Washington, Mew York, Pittsburg, Providence, Toronto, Mont real and Jersey City. The Western Cir cuit would be composed of Chicago, De troit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus. Louisville, MllwauKee-ana maianapons. With this realignment. Kansas City, Minneapolis, and St. Paul would be dropped and would be cast adrift, but it Is said that a new circuit would be organised to Include these three cities with Omaha, Lincoln, Sioux City, Des Moines and St. Joseph. It Is also planned to elect Ed L. O'Neill, president of the present western luague, presi dent of the new circuit. This does not look feasible. There are towns ln the circuits mentioned where it has been proven, would not support a major league club and there are towns ln the proposed new O'Neill circuit which could not support teams strong enough to compete with the three towns of the American Associa tion which they plan to drop to the O'Neill circuit. Under the prospects, this department thinks the slate mak ers must guess again. Hogan evidently thought he could get La Flambois ln the ninth Tuesday because Pete had sliced huge chunks of ozone from the climate on three pre vious occasions. But he should remem ber, "Injuns Is treacherous." Anyhow the pill murdering aborigine tapped one on the beak that won the old ball game. Red Andreas, the Vermillion domed Individual who fain would boss bis umps and cover the second port for the Dee Mems at the same time, is always getting ln bad. The carmine tint of Red's hair brands him as a crabber but we never expected .to see such a gullible party again sinoe Nick Maddox left the circuit. According to the Sioux City scribes. Crisp and Murphy are the premier re ceivers of the Western league. Clarke, Gaspar, Doyle, Reagan and White form the best quintet of twlrlers ln the league, Kane, Cooney. Smith and Balrd the best infield, and Clarke, LeJeune. and Davidson are the class of the out fields of the Western. We pause to muse, why Is the race for the muslin so close If the aforesaid knights of the diamond are all that the home sport writers claim for them. It is reported that Freddie Welch, the new lightweight champion, will rest up and practically retire for a year. That will Le all right for Freddie ln a way but why has he decided to do this when it is possible to colect "gobs" of stage money 7 Ana tJ ao tms will cause asDirins; men of his class to do a lot of worrying. Mayhap, he has decided to do this ln order to avoid meeting Charley White. Ad Brennan, in the Federal league, has been ln but seven games this sea' son and is credited with winning two and losing rive. That is not saying very much for the "once famous' southpaw as the pitching is said to be the strong feature of the circuit, and if so, Brennan surely must be rotten. The Des Moines club closed Its en gagement here Tuesday and the Omaha club will come for four days. There are one or two postponed games with this club and .a double header may be played. Following the Omaha series, the Sioux City club will come for four days and then the Wichita club will make its last appearance in Topeka of the season. The Topeka club will close its present stay at home, August 10 in the final game of the Wichita series. The To peka club will then go on the road ana play Lincoln. Wichita, Des Moines, St. Joseph, Sioux City, Omaha and Den ver ln order. This Includes every cluo in the league and the trip will be the last of the season for the xopeka club. The club will return home September 8 and finish the season which will close Sunday. September 27. The 1914 schedule has not been satis factory to the managers and fans of the Western league. As arranged, the clubs are compelled to make long trips on the road and then return home to remain too long. As an example of this, the Topeka club goes on the road beginning August 11 and plays every club on the circuit before returning home. It then returns home to play six clubs for the closing event of the league. Beginning May SL the club was at home for 25 crames. Other clubs ln the league have been comnelled to clay a similar schedule. Even Jack Holland Is complaining and so Is Pa Rourke and they were mem bers of the committee which drafted the schedule. immm, GETS KAVANATJGH. OosjssbIeof Outfielder to Des Moines. Chicago, July 29.

This Is the fifth bowl offered by the club ln its 24 years of tournaments. Three were captured by William A. Larned and another by Malcolm D. Whitman, both former national champions. The first leg in the present bowl was won by E. P. Larned, brother of the former champion in 1911. He was defeated by McLoughUn in 1912. Last year Johnston won the tournament and McLoughUn defaulted owing to his absence in England as a member of the Davis cup team. MARSANS CASK TODAY. Sc. Louis Federals Ask Dissolution of Injunction. St. Louis, July 29. The petition of the St. Louis federal league club to have dissolved the Injunction against Armando Marsans, who Jumped the lo cal team from the Cincinnati Nationals was scheduled to be considered by Judge J. H. Trteber In the U. S. dis trict court here today. Marsans re turned to St. Louis from Cuba, his na tive land, two days ago loaded with documentary evidence to be used ln the case. Officials of the local federal league club are so confident of victory in the legal battle they have made It known that four players prominent ln the major league are ready to emulate Marsans should the federal court give him the right to play with St. Louis. It is understood attorneys for the Fed eral league will try to break down the Injunction by the counter charge that the Cincinnati club violated the alien labor law by bringing a foreigner to the United States under a labor con tract.

I Austria's casus belli against Ser via is in reality almost aa inconsequen tial as was the incident at Tamplco which provoked the demand that Huerta salute the United States flag, and which nearly "plunged this, coun try Into a war with Mexico.' Here's hoping that President Wilson and Mr. Bryan will adopt their fa vorite policy of "watchful 'waiting", in respect to the Austrian-Servian im broglio and the general European war It Is likely to cause. But then, there Is no telling what Juries or Democratic statesmen will do. If some of the war correspondents now doing duty at Vera Cruz and oth er Mexican points cannot be spared. It Is difficult to imagine how the de tails of the various campaigns that would be Incident to the probable mix up in Europe can be worked out to the best possible advantage. As might be expected, the sugges tion of government ownership for baseball and the prediction that it Will come to pass within twenty-five years are made by a college professor. That he hangs his hat at the Univer sity of Missouri and not at the Uni versity of Chicago is the only strange thing. Five in every ten children observed outside of school hours in the average city are loafing doing nothing at all because, as they say, "There is nothing to do," according to Arthur C. Moses, of the Washington Playground asso ciation. And Topeka economizes by cutting off appropriations for the de velopment of the parks. As a matter of fact, there is no par ticular reason why all of the trusts should not be delighted to be smashed by the government. The Standard Oil company of Indiana, once a part of the Standard Oil trust, has Just de clared an extra dividend of 3 per cent in addition to its regular auarterlv dividend. And an extra dividend of the same amount was declared last quarter. Topeka's merchants show their publlc-splritedness again in planning another bargain season for the last four days of this week for the especial benefit of out of town patrons. The regular city patrons, of course, will not be barred from taking full advantage of the occasion. And perhaps It might not be a bad plan for the Topeka mer chants to wage a similar campaign for 1 trsds daring the Topeka fair week. Ctrarka Jtaf .TSmmval fee-spijtting.- I Ttonrdlau rit th4r AlffamnCM on matters economic and political, there is unanimity among the newspapers In this section, as there should be, against the practice of secret fee-splitting that is Indulged in by physicians and sur geons. And the expressions of regret are general that the Kansas State Med ical Association did not take advantage of its opportunity at its last meeting to endorse the resolution, presented for its consideration, condemning this In defensible custom that has developed among the members of the medical fra ternity. Among the many newspapers giving attention and editorial consider ation to this matter are the Kansas City Journal and the Witchita Beacon. And the former had this to say: 'The Kansas State Medical Associa tion, in refusing to condemn fee-splitting, has formally indorsed a medical fraud very common in that and other states. "The fraud is this: The surgeon charges a double fee for performing an operation, and secretly divides the fee with the family physician. It is well known in inner circles that secret fee splitting is almost universal In Kansas, and the state association, by refusing to condemn the practice, in effect ad mits and Justifies it. The surgeon gives the family doctor, who brings in the business, 60 per cent of the fee. Some times the per cent is 75. If the patient, or the .family of the patient, were in formed of the fact in advance of the operation, or even after it, there would be no fraud about it: but the secret splitting of fees is grossly Immoral The patient clearly is deceived. Or dinarily he reasons to himself: 'My dear family doctor certainly would not recommend thl3 operation unless he was sure it was necessary: there is nothing in It for him. He would cer tainly have it done at the lowest pos sible cost; there is nothing in it for him.' It is a flagrant fraud practiced on patients and families at a time when, often in the shadow of death, they are in no frame of mind to de fend themselves. "Not only this, but the practice Is a constant temptation to ine lamny doctor to recommend operations when operations are unnecessary. He says l temptation: Mere is diiuiu, ne can pay. within a year or two. $L0OO; half 'of that will come to me. He thinks I there is something the matter with his appendix; maybe there is. I guess I'll 'recommend an operation; that will pay half the mortgage on my little home. I have to work awfully hard anyhow.' That $500, or part of It. at least, is vel vet; it is graft. "The family doctor is entitled to something more than $3 a visit in case of an operation; a skillful diagnosis is worth money; the responsibility as sumed calls for compensation. But the family doctor should make his bill and the surgeon his. Secret fee-splitting is fraud. "Here is opportunity for real reform by legislation. In England, we under stand, surgeons' fees the fees collect able by law are regulated. Those who are able to pay inpre Pav as they like, through gratitude The docttfrs are be fore the legislatures asking protection against quacks nearly all the time. If they are given a sort of monopoly, they should be regulated. "Another way of reaching the evil would be to require" all surgeons to make an annual report, under oath, giving the name of patients operated on, the amount of the fee charged, and the division, if any, made thereof. "Fee-splitting appears to be almost universal in Kansas. The Kansas leg islature might well begin the reform. The practice, however, is not confined to Kansas. It prevails in other states also, and is not unknown in Missouri." The Wichita Beacon had this to say on the subject: "The Kansas Medical Society in its meeting at Wichita made a splendid start when it declared .its Intention to fight quackery in all its forms and to fight In the open, but it stopped too soon in its reformatory, spirit when it laid upon the table a resolution de manding that Kansas pass a law pro hibiting the secret division of fees be tween surgeons and doctors. "There's only one way to settle the fight against fee-splitting, and that's to settle It right. While it remains as an open practice U. any considerable percentage of the reputable doctors and surgeons of Kansas, the profession In this state suffers a black eye. The doctors have little right to complain about the ethics of newspapers that take rotten advertising or the ethics of the quacks themselves, so long as they continue to indorse by their silence as a society the inhuman and arbarous practice of fee splitting. "The Beacon does not say this as a Justification for newspapers which con tinue to run rotten medical advertise ments. Lack of ideals in the medical profession does not Justify lack fit ideals in the newspaper profession. If the newspapers and the doctors would work together for the creation of clean medical advertising and clean manifes tations of the medical profession' which in its power to serve is the noblest in the world. "The doctors -who practice fee split ting have taken-the position that it is the only way the physician who makes the diagnosis can. get. recognition for his service when the diagnosis develops a surgical case, rather than one for medical treatment,' There doubtless is a need of instruction on this point. The doctor who diagnoses a surgical ease correctly and sends the patient to a good surgeon is entitled to his fee. cf course, but the patient la entitled to know this and to know what the fee Is. He is entitled to a squarer deal than exists in all the possibilities where the doctor .and the surgeon are splitting the surgical fee on tho quiet. In the hands jot some doctors and some sur geons fee splitting has been practiced without detriment to the patient, but the evil that has grown up la a mon strous one. "It has enable, the doctor without conscience and the surgeon Without conscience to take an unfair advantage of the suffering. It Is unethical, it is degrading, It puts the highest" profes sion on the lowest plane, and Kansas, leading as she does In all the other matters of good civilisation, ought In the next legislature to pass a law, as some other states have done, prohibiting the practice of fee splitting. The Kansas Medical society should back the fight for the passage of a law of this charac ter. In its proposed new practice act this should be a feature. "The Beacon discovered some months ago that it's rather a lonely thing to fight this practice, but if the society of honorable doctors In Kansas win Join it vigorously, the fight's over." The Evening Story A Proxy Sweetheart. (By Izola Forrester.) "I don't see why you won't go with him," Madeline said doubtfully. "He's awfully anxious to have you. Carter told me he said last night If you wouldn't go with him he'd stay ashore." "He's changed a lot since the day we all went on the Davis yacht, hasn't he?" Beth threw plenty of scorn into her tone. She leaned her wilful chin on her knuckles, and looked off at the everchanging blues and greens of the sea. "Maybe he thinks I don't remem ber -what he said, but I do. I can't swim well and I don't like to duck under, and he told me I was a little quitter." "That wasn't anything," said Made line calmly. "He's In love with you now." "But he told some of the other girls hs thought I was silly to be afraid, and that's Just as bad as saying 1 was a coward. I don't want to go out alone with him in his old yacht. He's been here every day for a week sitting out on the veranda, comforting Aunt Laura and telling father about how things are down in the Canal Zone." "Where were you?" "Playing tennis with Billic." Beth dimpled demurely at her elder sister. "You're a perfect little goose." said Madeline flatly. "He's Senator Potter's only son "I can't bear only sons. They're al ways Just reflections of somebody else's glory. Billie's got seven brothers." "Billie's rushed every good-looking girl at the beach this summer. He's the seashore widower. Ralph Pot ter "Why don't you go with him your self?" asked Beth, struck with the happy thought. "Good old Maddie, go on. I'll lend you my white sweater. Tou mustn't wear that old serge coat." Madeline flushed, and just as she turned away. Potter came up the steps of the veranda. "They're ready to start, girls. There are six boats going out to the fishing banks and come around by the North Light. Going, Beth?" Beth shook her head. "I'm afraid," she said. mischievously. "I might tumble overboard and duck my head under. Take Madeline with you as proxy." A dull tinge of color reddened Pot ter's face and bared neck at the deli cate thrust, but he took the challenge, and five minutes later when the Aloha slipped out of the harbor shelter after her mates, Madeline sat in the little cockpit, her old blue serge Jacket over her white linen -dress, and the wind blowing back her hair recklessly. It was fourteen miles out to the fish ing banks. The six boats were scat tered like adventurous ducks, the Aloha last of an. After they, struck the open sea. Potter lesrhis boy take the little pilot wheel and 'came back to Madeline. She smiled at him, but did not speak. It was a gorgeous trip, but one does not like to be just a proxy, not when one is twenty-four. "Looks as if we'd run Into a puff of wind out yonder," Ralph said after a wnne. "Do you mind?" "I love the water," said Madeline, laughingly. "I'm never afraid of It." "Whales cut yonder sometimes," put in the sklpp. boy, gravely. ."Pop an' mo sighted some one day." Ralph led him on to talk. He liked to see the look in Madeline's eyes, -the sudden glint of amusement and appre ciation. She had kept away from the younger crowd all summer, and he won dered why. She was a thousand times more interesting than Beth, he thought. There were courage and determination in the uplift of ner head, the lines of mouth and chin, the steady, keen glance of her dark eyes. All the way out to the banks he talked with her until she forgot that she was merely Beth's proxy. Rounding the North Light they struck the squall. It all came so quick ly that Madeline did not realize the dan ger until the onrush of wind caught the little smack as If it had been a wisp of paper. Ralph had leaped to the as sistance of the boy, but before they could reef the big sail it tore away from them and the boat capsized. Madeline and the boy were both thrown tree. Both were good swimmers and came up beside the keel. "If you get up and hang on to the centerboard. you'll be all right." he shouted to her. "I'm going to dive after him." Then Madeline understood. As the boat had gone over, Ralph had been swept under with it, caught in some of the riggine. and he had not come up. The boy dived gamely. Her wet skirt clung to her. She had managed to kick oft her white canvas slippers, and get free from her jacket. Now the boy came up, blowing like a young porpoise. "He's he's there. Rope's twisted round his legs. Get the knife outer my back pocket, can you?" She found it and opened the big blade, her race white with dread. The minutes seemed years. When the boy went under this time, she followed him, freeing herself first from the clinging weight of the linen skirt, and between them they loosened the gripping hold of the rope that held Potter fast. Up to the surface they bore him. and she helped the boy pull the limp form to where they could hold It on the keel. "Just as safe as riding a whale," the boy said, straddling the centerboard. "Hist him a bit higher, ma'am. The wind's going over us now, and some of em will see us." But it was hours before help came. The squall passed, driving the other boats around the point of land at the North Light, while the Aloha drifted with the tide. Madeline obeyed the boy's instructions, helping to turn Ralph face downward on the keel, rub bing his hands, working his arms up and down, until at last he opened his eyes and was conscious. "Pop's coming after ua." called the boy happily. "I knew he'd miss me pretty quick when the other boats showed up." Two days later Beth stopped her game hn the tennis court to look ever on the Potter veranda. Mrs. Potter and the senator were Just leaving In their olg touring ear for Providence. Up on the shaded veranda Ralph lay out stretched on a couch with Madeline be- slde him. and Beth knew that somehow out of the danger -of the sailing acci dent, and courage of her proxy, all the Joy of love and life had come to them.

Only Mr. Capper Files Com plaint, With Certified Check The only Ud for the city printing for the year beginning August 1, which was submitted by Arthur Capper, was re jected by the city commission today. and the city clerk was authorized to readvertise for bids to be opned Mon day mornins. August 3, at nine o'clock. Furthermore, a new ordinance was pre pared by W. C. Ralston, city attorney, and read for the first time, repealing ordinance No. 833. relating to the city printing. Our esteemed neighbor and contem porary could hardly have expected the commissioners to at one fell swoop ad vance the "high cost of printing" (now lower than anything else the city hires), about 33 par cent but nobody knows. It's like the Million Dollar Mystery, ap pearing today in the State Journal. What the mayor and commissioners are driving at in this city printing is beyona ordinary comprehension. The city for years, until today, had an ordi nance providing for the city printing at a rate eleven cents iess per inch than Mr. Capper's bid of. this week. Per haps the commissioners want to hike the rate to help our neighbor make both ends meet. At any rate the old ordinance, after years of faithful serv ice, is about to be retired, and was served notice to ths effect by the first reading of the repeal ordinance today. final consideration for Friday. Sir. Capper Turned Down. The Capper bid for the printing was opened at the meeting of the commis sion this week and was referred to the city attorney and W. L. Porter, com missioner. It was rejected today on the recommendation of both City At torney Ralston and Commissioner Por ter because of the fact that it was eleven cents In excess of the maximum rate fixed by ordinance. The bid was 42 cents a running inch, and the or dinance provides for a maximum of 31.2 cents a running inch. As it. was Commissioner porter wno persuaded the commission to advertise for bids for the city printing, k. l. Cofran. mayor of Topeka, asked him pointedly for a reason for repealing the present ordinance. Mayor Cofran: "What is the scheme, Mr. Porter, when we have an ordinance.' Commissioner Porter: "That esti mate was made in 1888. The high cost of living has come along, and higher wages are paid to the mecnantcs. mat has increased the cost of printing." Has Mr. Capper asked this?. No other complaint is on file. Commissioner Tandy: "The price wouldn't have advanced If the prop. sition had been handled as usual. This doesn't look like a good deal for the citv." City Attorney Ralston: "We have to repeal the ordinance. We do not have to acceot bids in a case like this. We can let a contract without bids. It wouldn't do to revise the ordinance to comply with a bid; that would be i-niainir the estimate." Mayor. Cofran: "I understand, there is no call for a change." Commissioner -Bone:. "Bids were balled fox and tfher'e was. only one bid It 4z1celta" i t V, Mayor Cofran: "I haven't heard of any complaint. Porter doesn't wish to recontract." Commissioner Porter: "I dontknow. It is a matter of business just aa with any other contract." Commissioner Bone: "I move the City attornn'be authorized to draft an ordinance repealing, the present ordi nance." This motionr-was seconded by Com missioner Porter. Commissioner Tandy refrained from voting; the other com missioners voted in favor of the mo tto. i Logical Mr. Ralston. Following is the recommendation of City Attorney Ralston on the Capper bid for printing:' To the Board of Commissioners of the i City of Topeka: Gentlemen: .'he proposal Of. the Topeka Daily Capital for the,- city printing fjr the year -beginning with August 1,. 1914. was referred by your honorable bJdy to the commissioner of parks and public property and the city-attorney." The Capital's proposal for the city's printing is 42 cents per running inch. As city attorney, I re spectfuly .ubmit the following report: Ordinance No. .833 provides that the city shall not pay for city printing a greater sum than 26 cents per square of 250 ems. .This is equivalent to 31.2 cents per running inch. The Capital's proposal Is, therefore, nearly 11 ?nts in excess of the maxi mum rate fixed by raid ordinance. The board of commissioners cannot accept this proposal in the face of such ordinance. I. therefore, recommend that the Capital's proposal be rejected. Respectfully submitted. W. C. RALSTON, City Attorney. This was Commissioner Porter's re commendation relative to the Capper bid: To the Honorable Mayor and Commis sioners: Gentlemen: I recommend that the within bid be rejected as it is. above the legal rate; also' recommend that the certified check of $100 be returned and that the city clerk be instructed to re-advertise for bids the advertise ment to read as in the previous adver tisement, and bids to be received Monday.'

State Board, of Health To Be Appealed to by Cltlsens. SiSSsWisSBB Now Permeates Sabarb and the People Are Madi Commissioners Doing; All in Power to Beliere Condition. Citizens of Auburndale are up in arms! Filth from the Pot win sewer In Ward creek is pouring out of an over flow manhole at a point near the inter section of Winter and Hawthorne streets and haa backed up to within a short distance of several nearby houses. Indignation meetings have been held by those living in the neighborhood, and the state board of health waB consulted today. However, the city engineer, A. R. Young; says that the filth will be removed through its regular channel the sewer by late today. The new West Side sewer is being laid along side the Potwin sewer. Sev eral days ago when the work of con structing a head wall at the river com menced, it was necessary to stop the flow from the Potwin sewer and a hole was made at Ward's creek "to care for the flow temporarily. Work was de layed somewhat on account of send caving in until by last night a lake of maioaorous sewage was dammed up in the old creek bed in the heart of Auburndale. Piles have been driven and today concrete is being laid, and the work Is practically completed. J. A. Ramsey, of the city health department,, will put lime in the filth at Auhurn- dalt to kill disease germs and odor. Ha. b. stotts, purchasing agent for the state hospital, and formerly city commissioner of parks, who lives in Auburndale. said today: "The whole neighborhood is indignant In fact there have been several indigna tion meetings- It Is a terrible thing. Last night we had to close our windows. There is one house where there are six or seven children within-seventy-five feet of the overflow, and there is another ISO feet away where there are seven children. I expect to take the question up with. the state board of health this afternoon." CA. Vancil. candidate for county clerk of the Progressive party, a resident of Auburndale. was complaining of the condition this morning to W. Q. Tandy, city commissioner. He went away feel ing satisfied that the city is doing all possible to relieve the condition. STILL GOING -DOWN. Gasoline Price Is vOff Another Half Cent This Week. The price of gasoline has taken an other slump. This week there has been a drop of a half cent, and the price at Topeka is today 10.7 cent a gallon. It was last November when the price was a fraction over seventeen cents that the gasoline war began. The tre mendous development of -the Midcon tinent field and the phenomenal rise in the output jpf;; Kansas and Oklahoma started the -fight on prices. Topeka firms that have a stock of gasoline on hand will suffer a hardship as a result of the latest reduction. P. A. Falrbank. of the Topeka Oil company, said thia afternoon: "It catches us with 8,000 gallons of gasoline, and means a loss of $40." "It will be hard on the Jobbers here In town who have a considerable supply of gasoline on hand," said B. C. Allen, of the Uncle Sam OH company. HOLD BABY SHOW.

Topeka mills and elevators will not be much affected by the wheat block ade declared by the railroads against the port of Galveston Tuesday, ac cording to local millers. Practically every miller and elevator owner in the city reports that the storage capacity of local mills will be sufficient to handle the amount of wheat shipped to this city. Storage capacity of the Topeka mills is more than one million bushels. Officials of Before Disaster Cross Shows Ixrcatfcm the Kaw Milling company and of the Inter-Ocean company say that the storage capacity of their elevators will be large enough for all the wheat -they expect to receive. I do not think that Topeka millers will be affected on account of the wheat blockade," said David Bowie, secretary of the Thomas Page milling company, this morning. "Topeka ship pers and elevator- men ship little or no wheat to southern ports for export. "It is my opinion-that the present blockade will cause the Galveston ele vator owners and shippers to build larger elevators. For the amount of wheat shipped to the port the capacity or the elevators and storehouses is small, aggregating about four million bushels." ASKS CHILD'S CUSTODY K.

Says His Strength In Small Towns Win Wht Nomination. After an octive campaign through the state. Judge Frank Doster made his first primary (Prediction today when he stated that he would win the Democratic senatorial nomination next Tuesday. Juf Doster' s claim- la based on pen, sl' obseryationsin a trip through A .of the eight con gressional distrtonTV Friends of Jud Ke -Doster have as serted that he i will poll a heavy vote both among the' women and In organ ized labor circles. He also has the strong support of hundreds of old line Populists and because of his record as a lawyer and as former chief justice of the supreme court, is widely known in all parts of the state.- In a statemont today, Judge Doster said: "I shall win the Democratic sena torial nomination. I am not by nature given to bombastry or grandiloquence of speech and until I had fully sensed tne situation, any extravagant predic Hon from me would be ill-timed. I have made a thorough canvass of the first five congressional districts. This, together with the analysis of the re ports of my friends in the remaining sections of the state, convinces me that I shall be nominated. My strength lies particularly in .the small towns or the great wheat belt of the central and middle west. "I have endeavored to keep out of this senatorial squabble, although I have had enough to try the patience of Job." DEATHS O FOR.LS.

My boat was in flames. We bad to swim for it till we were picked np by Long Island barge tug. I don't know what became of the motor man. He must nave headed straight for shore. And I'm glad be did. Otherwise he'd be howling for the price of another bo... Olga. for the first time I've had to let one of the boys have a look it By face. Doesn't know the name but one of these days he'll stumble across it, and the result will be blackmail, unless I push him off into the dark. It was accidental." The countess leaned forward, her hands tightly clenched. ;-But the box! Braine mad gesture of despair. "Lao. are yon using any drug these days?" Don't make fun of me, Olga, impatiently. "Did yon ever see me drink more than a pint of wine or smoke more than two cigars in an evening? Poor fools! Whatl let my brain go into the waste-basket for the sake 'of an hoar or so of exhilaration? No, and never Will 1.

Some day he'U see it again, ask questions, and then "Then what?" A burial at sea," he laughed. The laugh ter died swiftly as it came. Threw it into eight hundred feet of water, on a bar where the sands are always shifting. Hell never find it, even if he took the range. He could not have got a decent or.;. The sun was drop ping and the shadows were long. He threw the chest, into the water and then began peg- ging away at us, cool as you please, and fired our tank." "It looks to me aa if he bad wasted his time." "That depends. Between yon and me and the gate post, I've a sneaking idea that this man Jones, whom nobody has given any par ticular attention, is .a deep, clever man. He -may have been honestly attempting to find a new hiding place; the advertisement in the newspaper may have drawn him. He may have thrown the box over in pure rage at see ing himself checkmated. Again, the whole thing may have been worked up for our bene fit, a blind. But if that's the case, Jones bas us on the hip, for we can't telL But we can do what in all probabilities he expects well cease to do watch him just aa shrewdly as before," i Olga caught his hand and drew him down -beside her. "I wasn't going to bother you tonight, but it may mean something vital" What? alertly. For reply she rose and walked over to the -light button. She pressed it and the apart- ment became dark. Come over to the window, quick She dragged him across the room. Over the way, the house with the marble frontage," A man emerged, lit a cisaret, and walked leisurely down the street. No she cried, as Blaine turned to make for the door, doubtless with' the intention of finding out who this man was. Every night after you leave he appears." "Does he follow me?" No. And that's what bothered me at first. I believed he was watching some apartment above. But regularly when I turn out the lights he comes forth. So there's no doubt that he watches you enter and takes note of your departure." But doesn't follow me. That's odd. What the devil is his idea?" "I'd give a good deal to learn." The shadow and the glowing cigaret disap peared around the corner, and the lights ia the apartment were turned on again. He's gone. You really think he's watch ing me?" He is watching &is apartment, I know that much.". And even at that moment the watches was watching from his vantage behind the cor ner. Suspicions he murmured, tossing the -.cigaret into the gutter. They're watching me for a change. I'll drop out. I know what I know. It's a great world. It's fine to be alive and kicking on top of it." He went on without haste and took the subway train for downtown. Is there any way I could get near him? asked Braine. "Tomorrow night Jon might leave by the janitor's entrance. Ill keep the lights on till you're outside. Then I'll turn them off and you can follow and learn who he is." "It's mighty important." Don't scowl. At your age a wrinkle is apt to remain if you once get it started:" He laughed. Wrinkles She ould talk of wrinkles They are more important than you think. Every morning I rub out the wrinkle I ep to bed with."' I wish you could rob out the general stupidity which is wrinkling my brain. I've made three moves and failed in each. Whafs come over me? Perhaps you've had oo many successes. The wheel of chance is always turning around." "May I smoke?'' Thanks. At least it proves yon still have i:-mMiu v.-: w'-'K X....... V SUV r CT j-ra. -::k 7-jp r"m-. ,::-y.yr some consideration for me. Yon would smoke whether it was agreeable or not. Bnt 1 like the odor of a good cigar. And it always helps you to think." Braine lit the cigar and began his customary pacing. At length he paused. "Suppose we have a real old fashioned coaching party out to the old mansion we know about?" "And what shall we do there?" "Make (he mansion an enchanted castle where sometimes people who enter can't get out. Do you think you could get her to go? "I can try." Olga, I must have that girl; and I most have her soon. Sometimes I find myself mightily pusxied over the whole t'ning. If Hsrgreave is alive, why doesn't he turn np now that ifs practically known that his daughter presides over his .household? I might understand it if I didn't know that Hsrgresve is really afraid of nothing. Where is the man with the five thousand, picked op at sea? What was the reason for Jones carrying that box out in broad daylight? Who is the chap watching across the street? Sometimes I believe in my soul if I para one! that Ksrgreave Is playing with us, playing! Well," flinging the half consumed cigar into the grate, "the Black Hundred al ways goes forward, win or lose, and never' forgets." "We are a fine pair!" said the woman bitterly. ff 'l We are exactly what fate Intended us1- to be. They wrote you down In- the -book as a beautiful body with a crooked mind. .They wrote me down as the devil, doomed to roam earth's top till I'm killed." f- -Killed?" ''.Why, yea." I'm not the kind of chap who dies ia bed, surrounded, by the weeping mem bers of the family, doctor, nurse, and. priest. I'm a scoundrel but it baa this saving gracs, I enjoy being a scoundrel. Now, I'm going np to the club, .There's nothing like a game' of billiards or chess to smooth that wrinkle whicar-seems to: worry yow." In the great, newspaper office there was a mighty racket. Midnight always means pan demonium in the city room of a metropolitan daily. Copy boys were rushing to and fro, messengers and printers with sticky galleys in their hands; reporters were banging away at their typewriters, and intermingling you could hear the ceaseless clickety-click from the telegraph room. Vt-. The managing editor came oat of his office and approached the des. ot the night city -editor. "Editorial page gone down?" "Twenty minutes ago," said the night city editor. -1 wanted a stick on that Panama rumpus.' Too Iste." Where's Jim Norton? At the chamber of commerce banquet. The major is going to thro- a bomb into the enemy's camp." "Nothing on the Hargreave stuff?" "No. Guess 1M better put that in the cubbyhole. He's dead." "No will found yet?" Not a piece aa big ar a postage stamp." "That will leave the girl in a tough place. No will, no birth certificate: and worst of alL no photograph of the old man himself. I don't see why Jim sidestepped this affair.. He the only man in town who knew anything about Hargreave." He hasn't giver i: tip but he wants to cover- it on bis own, turn the yarn over when he's got it. no false alarms." "Ah! So that's the game? "Yes; and Jim is tee sort every paper needs. When the time comes the story turns op. if there is one. Here be Is now. Looks like an actor in the fourth act of a drama. Good looking chap, though." Norton came in through the onter gates. He was in evening clothes, top bat. A dead cigaret dangled between his Hps. How much do you want? asked the night city editor. "Column and a half." "Off with your glad rrn!" r "Anything good?" .sked "!se managing eaV itor. "The lid has been jammed on tight.' Urn v. V a S 'J. a:

Just outside the entrance to the building a man with a slouch hat drawn down over his eyes stepped forward.' r "Mr. Norton?" Yes." Norton stepped back suspiciously. The other chuckled, raised and lowered his bat swiftly. r Good Lord murmured the reporter. Win you take a ride with me in a taxi?" "All the way to Syracuse, if you say so. Well. Ill be tinker damned!" No names, please I What took place In that taxi cab was never generally known. But at 10 o'clock the next morning Norton- surprised the elevator boy by going out Norton proceeded downtown to the National bank, where he deposited $3,000 in bills of large denominations. The teller bad some difficulty in counting' them They stuck together 'and retained the sodden ap pearance of money recently submerged in water. f .Florence wasj delighted et the Mea of n coaching party. Often during her school girl days she had seen the fashionable coaches go careening along the road, with the sharp, clear note of. the bugle .rising above the thunder of hoofs and tattling of wheels. Jones was not enthusiastic neither was he s killjoy.'- j "But you are to go along, too," said Florence.- I, Misr Florence? The countess invited you especially. Yoo will go with a hamper." i "Ah. in my capacity as butler;' very good. Miss Florence. To her he gave no sign of .bis secret satisfaction. The hour arrived, snu the gay party bowled away. They wound in and out of the streets toward the country to the crack of the whip and the blare of the bora. Florence's enjoyment would have been per fect had it not been for the absence of Norton.. Why hadn't hi been invited? She did not ask because she did not care to dis close to the conntess her interest in the re porter. They were nearing the limits of the Si? V i

v-v i i ii r iswt,,ssK--.- jwgft-.Tr rr. city, whoa the conch wan forced to take a sharp turn to avoid aa automobile in trouble. The man pattering at the angina raised Ua head. It was Norton, and Florence waved 'oer hand vigorously. "A coaching party, he murmured mam yonr Uncle James was not invited! O, very well!' He laughed, and suddenly grew seri ous. 7 It would not nurt 'o find oat where that coach was going. He set to work savagely, located the trouble, righted it, and set off for the Hsr greave home. He found Susan and bombarded her with questions which to Busan came with the rapidity of rain upon (he roof. "So Jones went along?" In his capacity of butler only." Norton smiled. "Well, IH take a Jaaat out there myself. Ton are sure of the lo cation? -Yes." Well, good-by. IH put waiter, since they wouldn't invite me. I'm one of the best little waiters you ever heaid of; and all things come to him who waits." What a pleasant, affable young ma ha was! (nought Susan as she watched him jump into the ear and go flying up the street. Jones was a good. deal surprised when Norton turned up at the H Chilton manor. What made you come here dressed, like this?" the butler demanded. I'm a suspicious duffer; maybe that's the reason." Do you know anything? "Weil, no; I can't say that I do. But, hang it, I just !tad to come out hero." Maybe it's just as well you did," said Jones moodily. "I know this place. The housekeeper used to be my nurse, and if she is still oa the job she may be of service to us. You don't think they'll question or recognize me?" "Hardly, til put in a word for you. Ill say I sent for you, jot knowing if we had enough"' servants to take care of the luncheon." "And now I'll go and hunt up Meg." Sure enough, his old nurse was still la charge of the bouse; and when her baby disclosed his identity she ail but fell upoa his neck. But what are you doing here, dressed op as a waiter?" "It's a little secret Meg. I wasn't. In vited, and the truth is I'm very desperately in love with the young lady in whose honor this coaching party, is being, given. 'And maybe she's in danger." Danger? What about?" The': Lord only knows. But show me about the bouse. I've not been here, in so long I've forgotten the run of it I remem ber one room with the secret panel and an other with a 'painting that turned. Hare they changed them?" "No; it is lust the acme here as. It used to be. Come along and I'll show you." Norton Inspected the rooms carefully, stowing away in his mind every detail. He migbt be worrying about rothicg; but so many strange things had happened that it was better to be on the side of caution than on the side of carelessness. He left the house and ran across Jones carrying i. basket .of.'wine. i; r i w- Here, Norton; take, this to the party. I want to reconnoiter." r All right 3lud! Say, Jones, Imw much do you think I'd earn at this job? comically. Get along with yoo, Mr. Norton. It may be the time to laugh, and then It may not" I'm going back Into the house hod hlda behind a secret panel. I've got my revolver. Yoo go to the stables and take a try at my If sua works smoothly. We may ear; have to do hiking. Where in the conn teas ip this?" leasee that to me, Mr. Norton," said th butler with bis grim smile. "Be off; they are moving back toward the bouse." So Norton carried the bosket sround to the lawn, where it was taken from his hands by the regular servant. He sighed as. he saw Florence, laughing and csatting with a man who was a stranger and whom he heard ad dressed as count Some Mend of the countess, no doubt Where wo all this taaglo going to end? He wished bo know. Aad what a yarn ho was going to write some day! It would be read like one ot Gaboriaa'e tales. He tcrned away to wander idly about the grounds, whoa beyond a damp of cedars he saw three or four men conversing lowly. He got as near as possible, for when three or four men put their heads together and whisper animatedly, it usually means a poker game or something worse. He caaght a phrase or two as it came down the wind, gad then he know that the vagus suspicions that had brought him oat hero had beea set ia motion by fate. Ho Board Florence and "the old drawing room"; and that wa enough. Ho scurried about for Jones. It was pare lack that ho had had old Meg show him through the house, otherwise ho would hare forgotten all about the secret panel la the wall and the painting. Jones shrugged resignedly. Were these marnn of the coon toss' party? Norton couldn't say. Norton made his biding place ta safety; and by and by ho could hear the gaeste mor lug about in the room. Then all sounds ceased for a while. Morton strained his edt -against the panel. A door closed sharply. -"No; hero you must stay, young lady." said a man's voice. What do you mean, sir?" demanded the V beloved voice. It means (hat bo one will return to this -toom and that you wtn not bo misay atil it is too late." The sound of voices stopped abruptly, and something like scorning ensued.

The room behind the secret panel had barred windows. To Florence It appeared to bo a real prison. "How did you 'got here?" she askeJ breathlessly. "Something told ms to follow you. And something is always going to toil mo to fol- She prasaed hla hand,. It was to her as if one of those book heroes had stepped out J of a book; only book heroes always had tre mendous fortunes and did not hare to work for -a living. Oddly enough, she was not afraid. "Who was the mai?" be asked. "The Count T'orfeldt Some one has tmvjj posed upon the countess.' 1: "Do you think so?" with a strange look i in his eyes. What An won nauf Nothing just now. The Idea Is to get S oat of here jast as quickly as wo can. See this painting?" Ho touched a spot on the wall and the painting slowly swung out like a- uwr. wan, wo aius gar sncnvO vO Ut side lawn from here." At the stable they were confronted with f the knowledge that Norton's ear was out of .commission; Jones could do nothing with It Then Norton suggested (hat ho make an ef fort to commandeer the limousine of too coon- tens; bat there were men about, so the lim-' oustna was oat of the question. "Horses!" whispered Jones. "There are' sereral saddle horses, already saddled. How about those people, the owners?" "O, they are beyond reproach. They hare doobUess been imposed upon.
