Field Marshal von Hindenburg's new driv e at Warsaw aP- parently has accomplished little more thus far than the weakening of a com paratively few Russian advanced po sitions. Neither the Berlin nor the Petrograd official reports indicate that j marked changes have resulted from the fighting which daily becomes more intense. The German commander has chosen to make his final assault along the front between Sochaozew, 30 miles d-ie west of Warsaw and Skierniewlce. a few miles to the south, which is in the same section in which the Germans vainly attempted to break through on their previous attempt to reach War saw. Hoth sides occupy strongly en trenched positions in this region, where the warfare closely resembles that in France. An official Russian report of today states that German attacks in this lo cality were repulsed in the course of violent battles during which the Rus sians recaptured trenches previously taken by the Germans. Russian suc cesses are claimed also in the fighting in the Carpathians, which had de veloped into one of the most impor tant phases of the campaign. In the east, Russian troops are said to have made marked progress in Dulka pass, advancing over the crest of the moun tain and to have repulsed an Austrian assault south of Uzso pass. Fighting continued between British and Turkish forces in Arabia, near the head of the Persian gulf, where small forces of Turks have taken the offen sive. An attack on Kurna, near the Junction of the Euphrates and Tigris livers, was stopped by the fire from British gunboats. PROBE PRISON GAG Senate Investigation 3lay Fol low Milton Hfeasure.''

CAUSES MAN'S DEATH Worry Over Foot and Mouth Disease Fatal to Kausan. Mulvane, Kan., Feb. 3. Lyman C. Shull. a farmer of this community, son of Alonzo "hull and one of the early settlers of this neighborhood, dropped dead of neuralgia of the heart while gettin out of his buggy at his fa ther's door Monday evening. He had been not strong for some time time, but was not thought to be in a serious condition. It is thought that the worry and ex citement attending the foot and mouth disease quarantine hastened his death. He leaves a wife, but no children. lirlgium Still Needs Help. Chicago, Feb. 3. Chicago, which has given $120,000 for relief of Bel gian war sufferers, was asked today to contribute $100,000 more by the Chicago Belgian food relief commit tee. Amrrica has sent to Belgians about $20,000,000 in food and money, it was announced, ye", the situation there is that "1.400.000 persons do not know where they are going to get their next meal," the committee's of ficial report says CUT OFF COLONIES. London, Feb. 3. The Wireless World has received from Berlin a copy of a communique recently published by the German colonial office, describing the serious loss suffered by Germany through the destruction of her chain of wireless stations. The communique says: "Soon after the outbreak of war all communication with the colo nies by sea was broken, and all German transmarine cables were cut by the English, so that even telegraphic communication with the whole of our colonies was ren dered impossible. The only remain ing means of communication was wireless telegraphy, but. the first warlike measures of the. English were directed to depriving us of this means also." Kansas Town Fans .Say They Have Money to Buy Franchise. Deal With John Savage Still Pending Joplin, Too? Chicago, Feb. 3. The transfer of the Topeka franchise probably will be a subject considered at the meeting of the Western league magnates here next Sunday though the meeting at first was called only to make prelimi nary schedule plans. President O'Neill raid today that four individ ual and syndicates were seeking tlic Topeka rights, one of which wonld move the team to Joplin, Mo., another to Kansas City, Kan., and the others, one from Kansas City, Mo., and one from Webster, S.

What looked like the real spirit of administrative reform ruled the senate this morning when it put back on the calendar the Davis concurrent resolu i tion No. 5, providing for the creation of a commission to correct adminis trative wastes and later when Demo crats and Republicans joined hands in supporting a proposal to draft legisla tion lor the reapportionment of judi cial districts. Governor Capper's program of ad ministrative economies could ask for no heartier backing than it got from every corner of the senate today. Having died twice in committee, the Davis resolution providing for the nam ing of one member of a special com mission by the senate, one by the house and the third by the governor, to study and report on plans whereby state money may be saved and wastes elim inated was resurrected bv a vote of 27 to mane tne commission, more t-neciive a restriction is laid that no persons who has been active in Kansas politics in the past five years shall be eligible to its membership.

Pinch Yourself It May Be Only a Dream After All. The ways and means committee of the house will recommend a white way appropriation for lighting the state house grounds. Members of the com mittee have virtually agreed to recom mend an appropriation of $10,000 for installing white way posts, provided the city makes good its promise to supply light. While the white way bill may not be reported for several days, the house committee has virtually agreed to meet the request for better lighting of the state house and grounds. The city commissioners will be asked to enact an ordinance providing for supplying electrie Juice for the white way on the state house grounds and to enter into a contract with the state executive council for fulfillment of provisions of the contract. When these details are completed, the committee will recom mend the appropriation. Last week the white way question was submitted to the legislature in a Mil introduced in the house by Repre sentative Bird and in the senate by Senator Troutman. The bill was re ferred to the ways and means com mittee and was taken up by the house committee at a meeting Tuesday night. While no formal action was taken, it is understood that there will be no committee opposition to the bilL Redure the Price of Twine. Leavenworth. Kan.. Feb. 3.

Application for Permission to Reopen Wichita Yards. Assisted by eight experts, Taylor Riddle, state live stock sanitary com missioner, is today fighting the hoof and mouth disease in southern Kan- i. A number of animals in Cowley county have been killed and investi gations are being made in a number of counties in the infected district. At present four counties Cowley, Butler. Sedgwick and Sumneir are under quarantine, while reports in To peka are to the effect that the quar antine may be extended to Greenwood and Chautauqua- counties. Applica tions have been made for permission to reopen the Wichita stock yards and to resume business in the packing houses of that town. As yet no au thority has been granted. A government representative will visit the counties under quarantine and will assist the state live stock com missioner in appraising stock. Burial of diseased cattle was undertaken Tuesday night, but was postponed un til today when a government inspector was sent into the district. Riddle's Report. In a telegram to Governor Capper, Commissioner Riddle discusses the situation as follows: "We have our force fully organized and are making examinations of all premises where animals are located that could have possibly been exposed to the foot and mouth disease. We have the grave dug for the animals condemned and we hope before this time tomorrow that they will be under ground. I have a force of eight ex perts making further examinations, tracing rumors and covering every possible point where infection might be located. No further outbreaks re ported at six p. m. Government rep resentative has not yet arrived. Oth erwise condemned animals would be already slaughtered. Can not slaugh ter animals until arrival of govern ment representative because he is one of the appraisers to fix the value of animals slaughtered." A committee; from Cowley county is in Topeka. looking after needed legisla tion against- the foot and mouth dis ease. The dreaded cattle scourge has broken out in that county and the sit uation is getting serious. A bill is in preparation for the Btate t aid the fed eral government in. flgtflUngS tto tii it ease, thus taking if away from the counties. At present "the various counties are footing half of the' bills in the fight and it is considered too big a proposi tion for them to handle, especially in the districts where the disease has broken out. The committee which is here today is composed of O. S. Gibson of Arkansas City, Mr. Ote and Dan Pierce of Win- Held. ABOLISIIJFFICES Lire Stock and Free Employ ment Offices Under Knife. Representative Bird Introduces the Bill This Afternoon. .Abolition of the. off ices of the state free employment agent and live stock sanitary commissioner, is proposed in bills introduced in the house this af ternoon by W. A. S. Bird of Shawnee county. The Bird bills would provide for tlfte handling of the work of the employment agent under a state im migration bureau and the state board of agriculture. The live stock sani tary commissioner's office would be put under control of the board of ad ministration and placed under super vision of the State Agricultural college at Manhattan. Bird's bill abolishing the office of free employment agents provides for the creation of a state bureau of im migration. The office of state live stock sani tary commissioner would be abolished entirely. Z. G. Hopkins, Republican, is state free employment agent, while Taylor Riddle, Democrat, is live stock sani tary commissioner. Both were ap pointed by Governor Hodges.

While Over In the House Minor- ity Is Most Willing. r.TENS TIEUP n LEGISLATO That Is, Legislation Between Upper, Lower Houses. House Democrats Take No Heed of Trouble in Senate. If administration legislation is tied! up during this session of the legisla ture, the responsibility will fall on the Democrats of the senate not the house minority. With 23 days of the session in the discard, the house Democrats have held no caucuses and' have displayed every desire to vote "aye" with the Capper forces. Numerous stories concerning the fighting plans of the house Democrats have been published. Some of them read like real fiction. But up to date the 49 Democrats in the house have shown the same fighting spirit that characterizes a terrorized canary bird. Time after time A. A.

HAS LONGER LEGS The Kaiser Says Truth Win the Race. Will He Compares the Powers to Jockeys on the Turf. Munich. Feb. 3. The Neueste Nach richten has published an interview with Dr. Ludwig Qanghofer, the Ger- man author, in which is given a fur ther account of (the writer's Visit to Emperor. William at the imperial field -headquarters. Jti jSaikghofer says:: "I heard and ssrw an example of the emperors qiet: patience' with slanderous statements that should be instructive' -for us an. Remarks of such a nature embitter him, but even in his greatest excitement he never loses the mastery of his tongue. I heard him say in such a case: 'That is strong, but it is silly also. It is fortunate that truth always is wiser in the long run and that it has longer legs.' "The knightly conduct of .individ ual opponents in the field gladdens Emperor William," continued Dr. Ganghofer, "and I have never heard any man speak so justly of Individ -ualisties, the courage and the ac complishment of the nation's enemies. Even against England I heard from the emperor no unmeasured word spoken in anger. Every verdict he pronounced, severe as it sometimes is, it always is within the bounds of su preme reserve. Nevertheless there is a slight but hardly noticeable vibra tion in his majesty's voice when the subject is our Germanic cousins across the channel. "In conversation with the repre sentative of a neutral state, the em peror once said: 'You are a sportsman. When, in a horse race, the weaker animals gradually drop out And only the two strongest are left, huve you ever seen the jockey of the horse which threat ens to fall behind strike with his whip at the jockey of th more ambitious and stronger animal?' "The man questioned shook his head. The emperor continued: 'Why does England strike at us? Why does she not rather strike at her own weakening horse?" "Yet other words of the emperor must be remembered," the Neueste Nachrichten quotes Dr. Ganghofer as saying. "On one occasion he made this remark: 'Many persons who judge us Ger mans solely by outward aspects and. term us barbarians, seem not to know -that there is a great difference be- tween civilization and "Kuitur."-' England certainly is a highly civil-" ized nation. One notices this always in the drawing roum. but to have "kuitur" means to possess deep con science and high morale. My Ger-"" mans have conscience and morale. 'When they say in other lands that it was my intention to found a world empire, that is the funniest nonsense ever said about me. But in the morale, industry and conscience of the German people, is to be found a conquering power that will open the world for them.' CHILDREN WASTE BREAD. Frankfort-on-the-Main, Feb. 3. The wasting of white bread by Ger man school children is the subject of a letter in the newspapers of the Rhine province from a teacher, who points out that it is the duty of parents to bring this extrava gance to an end and thus help the fatherland during its crisis. The writer says the children often leave their homes after a scanty breakfast and take a large package of bread and butter with them to school. He declares the scholars often are unable to con sume the whole of the food and thereupon throw it away in the streets. He suggests the official prohibition of the practice of bringing food to school and also of the sale of all bread except of "war bread" mae of rye and pota toes to children for their immedi ate consumption. In this way he believes a great wastage will be prevented and at the same -time the authorities will be helped to meet the marked shortage in wheat flour.

Topeka may have two mayors, a st ot city commissioners and also a city Council, all at the same time, and tfcen again, of course Topeka may .not. Those who are seeing double -in city politics figure it this way: Suppose that a special election is held anC a majority of the voters de cide the city shall go back to the council plan of city government. The petitions calling for this election will be presented to the city commission tomorrow. If the petitions are found to be valid, the earliest possible time in which a special election can be held will be February IS. If at this elec tion the council plan wins, the soonest time in whicl. a primary election to nominate a mayor and councilmen Will be &:arch 17. "hen forty-five onys must elapse before the general city election under the council form can be held, bringing the date to May 2. In the meantime, the present city officials, not knowing what ihe result of the special election may be, will have gone ahead in the regular rou tine way. Just as though no special election was to be held. Nomination petitions for mayor and city commis si ners will have been filed by March 18, or the day after the special elec tion. Ten days later, or March 29, the primaries jnder the commission plan will be held and on April 6, the dectioi under the commission plan Will take place and the new mayor and city co.- mjasioners will have been elected nearly a month before the council set of officials have been chosen. When an Election. The mix-up develops out of the fact that there is a question as to the time in which elections must be held when a city changes back from the commis sion to the council form. If the old law which prevailed be fore the commission plan was adopt ed again becomes operative, the sit uation will be about as outlined. But there is also another legal complica tion growing out of the conten tion that the time for holding an election under the council plan is definitely fixed by law and that this fixed time will have been passed be fore a general city election under the council plan can be held this year, so regardless of whether the council iorm wins at me special election or not. Topeka will continue under the commission form another two years. This is not the view, however, which, those behind the movement to have Topeka return to the old way of do ing things, take of the situation. They expect to win at the special election and, to nominate and elect and put into office this year a may or and councilmen from each ward, i So, regardless of what the correct situation is from a legal standpoint, if the council plan wins In a special election, Topeka will quite likely have two sets of city officials each contending they are legally entitled to the offices. k If the petitions which, will be pre sented to the city commission to morrow are found to be valid, it is quite likely the city commisson ers will ask the state attorney gen eral for an opinion on the correct leal course to pursue.

A "get-together" meeting was held a.1 the National hotel Tuesday night; also an entertainment by the High land Park grange In representative hall. Maurice McAuliffe, president of the Kar.sus Branch of the Farmers' Union, in his annual address before the members at the Auditorium this afternoon, told of the rapid growth of the union in the last year. He said, in part: The Inorease in membership of the organization during the past year has been greater than I expected or hopea. It is my best Judgment at this time, that there are not less than 40,000 people including both males and fe males that claim to belong to the Farmers' Union in Kansas; and sev eral thousand more, who, though not members of the Union, a good many because they didn't have a chance to be, are as stroag advocates of Farmers' Union principles as are most of the members, and who will, as soon as an opportunity offers Itself to them, become members. Persona Interested, 12O.000. I take it now, that more than 120, 000 persons are In some way either directly or indirectly connect ed with the Union in Kansas and en joying the effects of its wholesome and benign influences, for betterment of their social, educational and fi nancial conditions. It is true that a good many who claim to belong to the Union do not give it their support in a financial way, but such you will find in every organisation, even in the church. The reason for this is not attributed to nonbeiief, but to an indifference and carelessness that might- be more properly designated a weakness of character that Is responsible for their falling, by Ibe waystte, unless aevt alistic Influence is being constantly brought to bear on them that gives them strength of character to resist the siren voice of designing men, who are, when opportunity offers', whispering Into their ears sweet melody apparently ot friendship on the surface, but the under current is full of ifs And and's that are meant to have an influence on toe listener that arouses a spirit ef jealousy and distrust in him that causes him to look with suspicion on every move ment originated for his betterment, by men who are dlrwctly Interested in his welfare almost as much as their own, Extension of Co-operation. While the Increase In membership, during the past year, was very satis factory to me. it did not, however, keep in pace with the extension of our co-operative effort, in establish ing hew co-operative business enter prises and strengthening the organi zations already in operation whose capital had to be increased to meet the requirements of increasing busi ness. While others, though not in creasing their capital stock very ma terially, increased the amount of their paid, up capital, by selling more stock, which enables most of tbem to do business along the outlined plan of doing business that constitutes one of the underlying principles of success ful co-operation as adopted by the Farmers' Union: Namely, doing bus iness on a cash basis only; which is the only sure and successful way of doing business. Allow me here now to say to you that there never was a more opportune time for the co-operative enterprises of Kansas that have been doing a credit business to make the change to a cash system than now. ii is my earnest bone and desire to see every Farmers Onion enterprise in Kansas firmly established on a cash basis as speedily as possible.

The volume of business done by our co-operative business associations this past year, is of such a magnitude that it is hardly believable. esDeciallv when one takes into consideration the fact, mat me runners Union Co-operative movement in Kansas is only a few years old, I am fully convinced that the total amount of business done by all our Farmers' Union co-operative as sociations will go beyond 130,000,000. t'o-Operative Organizations.

The text of the. communication follows: "The engagements in the region of Mlawa have continued favorable to our troops. "On the left bank of the Vistula the battle on the-roads from Bollraow pro ceeded on February 1 with consider able intensity. A large number of heavy and light batteries participated energetically in the engagement. "The German attack on the morn ing of the second north of BorJUnow was repulsed with great losses for the enemy. A violent combat was begun south of the village of Goumine. where we recaptured advanced trenches which we lost January .31. The possessions of a small farm still is undecided, "South of the Pilica near Doun aietz the enemy increased the inten sity of his bombardment, continuing night and day, but attempts of the enemy's troops to make progress are without success. "In the Carpathians the conflict continued January 31 an! February 1. Our forces advanced, fighting along the broad frtnt at Dukla pass as far as the lower Sa- having jssed.the principal ridge of the mountain range in the regio:. of Jasliska and Mezo Laborcz, where we took a battery of six cannon, two mortars, a number of rapid fire rs and numerous prisoners. An offensive n.ovement undertaken by the enemy southeast of Uszok pass was repulsed wit.h enormous losses. "News relative to the transporta tion of German troops to the Carpa thian front finds confirmation in the fact that on February 2. southeast of Besl id pass we destr yed a battalion of the 224th German regiment, a remnant of which, notably battalion and company commanders and twen ty soldiers, were made prisoners." rouiuTvAiiTS FOOD Continued from page One.1 ish soil.

MANY CITIES ANXIOUS Continued from psge OneJ his many Intimate friends.is one ot the most popularvi-.and-most-- successful sporting, men! that .ijriansas ever pro duced. As athletic-director- at St. Marv's college, lie t demonstrated his ability to build, up baseball,' football and basketball teams of No. 1 caliber. He is recognized as one of the best of ficials in these sports anywhere in the country, and his success as a National League umpire last season was admit ted by all who saw him work. In fact, he has made such a reputation for himself that Purdue university, one of the most prominent schools of the west, has made him a flattering offer to coach the university's baseball team this season up to the time when he will have to report for work in the National League. While in Topeka Tuesday, Mr. Qulgley said that he believed the outlook was most encouraging in the Western league and that he believed he could make a succes of the local club. Also, he intimated that he might be interested in putting some money into it if the right kind of a proposition were made him by the club owners. This information was given several of the old club directors and as a re sult Mr. Quigley will meet with them this afternoon to talk the matter over. The Savage Deal. Arch M. Catlin, president of the old club, stated this morning that nothing further had been heard from John Savage of Kansas City, who met with the directors Tuesday and who will probably be in a position to close a deal for the club in a day or two. The following deal regarding Mr. Savage and his plans was published in the Joplin Globe Tuesday: "Action of the Joplin chb as regards the proposed transferring of the Topeka franchise in the Western League to Jop lin probably will be decided this afternoon at a meeting of the board of trustees. "John Savage of Kansas City, ecretary of the Blues, and C. A. Ludlow of Pitts burg, Kan., who seem to have authority to transfer the franchise, have been in vited to attend the session, but L. L. Travis, president of the club, said last night that no acceptance has been re ceived." s i An effort was made this-morning to .find out what had; been Sonrs at the Joplin meeting, but: up to fthe time of going to press, nothing definite was learned. However.' when Mir.- Catlin saw the Joplin story he said: "There is nothing to that. Savage was considering a proposition to take the club to. Joplin, but the deal fell through and he is now negotiating with us on his own hook. If he closes a deal, he will do so with the intention of keep- lnK the team, in" Topeka, ana our con tract with him will require him to do so." Loc-al Fans Busy. Mr. Catlin also- said that there was some talk oC a new company being or ganized here to take over the team and that the Commercial club, the Boosters club and the Elks club were interested in the proposition and would take an active cart in keeping the club here. Spencer Arthur Abbott is lead ing in this move, and should any defi nite action be taken it is probable that he would be chosen -manager and direc tor of the new club.; Hutchinson Wants It, Too. Also, a news dispatch sent out from Hutchinson says that fans in that town want to get the franchise and have the money to buy it This dispatch reads as follows: Hutchinson Kan.- Feb. 3. The Kaw fans may be able to see their favoriio pastirners cavort by ttuying railroad Beg ets to Hutchinson next Mnmer. A plan. has been started oy tne bugs ot this city to buy the. Topeka franchise in the Western League." It was announced by a Topeka paper that $10,000 would buy the franchise and players, but local baseball men say that they have information that the club can be transferred here for a much smaller outlay if real cash enter Into the deal. These men say that they are ready to STOMACH". 5.

get into the baseball not with 11.000 each providing a stock company can be formed with other" members to take up the re mainder of the amount to take over the Topeka club. Hutchinson stepped along with Topeka, Wichita and Oklahoma City in the old Western Association. The town has over 30.000 people now, according to the latest government estimate, and there are more fans here. Plans are on foot If the Topeka club cornea to Hutchinson to make the Salt City a farm for some major league club. This can easily be arranged for, accord ing to local baseball men. Mr. Catlin said that no proposition had been made to any of the old di rectors by Hutchinson men, but that Hutchinson would be given an equal show with every other outsider in the event it becomes impossible to keep the club here, and the only thing the Salt City men will have to do will be to produce the money that it will take to swing the deal. Meeting Thursday Night. A mass meeting of all nersons inter ested in retaining the Topeka West ern league baseball team here has been called for Thursday night at eight o'clock in the main room of the Topeka Commercial club quarters. At tms meeting some definite plan of action, will be decided upon or all plans rejected it is up to the fans. A representative of the German-American bank and the Topeka Baseball association will be present. If the team is to be retained In Topeka there must Toe quick action. There are many nersons who would be willing to do what the can towards keeping the team here, but nave no idea relative to the actual sit uation," said J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Commercial club, this after noon. "A plan of action will be de cided upon at the meeting. The op tion by which the team may be pur chased for $10,000 will exnlre Febru ary 8." WILSON WOULD SAVE Washington Senator Trying Hard to Cut Down Appropriations. The senate committee on claims and accounts inspired a resolution direct ing the attorney general to prosecute state officers who spend money in ex cess of their appropriations. Senator Walter E. Wilson of Washington coun ty introduced it Tuesday afternoon and then his committee left him to fight the battle. The resolution was referred to a pigeon-hole. Section 8963. statutes, of 1909, prohibiting the practice of contract ing for expenditures for which no appropriation has been made, is one of the drastic laws the enforcement of which would put nearlv everv atate official in iaJl wmnr lot.. 'while all of its violations may not be justmac-ie as pointed out by Sena tor vvitson in calling the senate's at tention tc claims for deficit appro priations to pay for numerous things bought in the past two years by state officers there are plenty of tech nical violations which the best inter est of the state demands. The re building of the penitentiary twine plant, the rebuilding ot the PHtsburg Normal school and hundreds of other deficiency appropriations granted at every legislative session are among them. Wilson expressed the opinion of his "committee that something ought to be done to check the flood of demands ffor-, reimbursement which pour into the legislature at every session, but he idn't get much real help from his. committee. Senator Mahin of Smith acked up his ..position, but most of the rest of the upper house argued the impossibility of transact ing state business without violating the lav. The Democrats said it looked like political medicine and Senator J. Howe pulled a copy of the 1913 statutes and pointed out a lot of deficiency appropriations made at that session to fill up the chinks left by the Republicans of the pre vious administration. Ha mentioned d flciency appropriations of (9,000 for the Republican state printer, $3,500 for the- Republican oil Inspector, and even found a small one in the govern or's office. In all, he said, the Demo cratic legislature spent $115,000 for Republican deficiencies. Carney of Cloud moved to refer the resolution to the judiciary committee. Motion carried. TOPS RLrCIiT.

"While organ ised baseball la waiting to hear the verdict of Judge Lanjis, the Federal League Is trying to grab our players just the same," said President John son of the Ameiican League at the Hotel Belmont Tuesday. "Gihnore has taken Deal away from the Boston Braves and is attempting to sign Mann of the same team. 1 understand, too, that the Federals are tempting other players in our league to jump their contracts. Yet in their bill of complaint the Federals asked Judge Land is to compel us to let them alone. 1 think the attention of Judge Land is should be called to these acts of piracy at a time when both parties to the big baseball suit should remain passive until a verdict has been hand ed down." President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club stated today that while the Fed eral's suit was being heard week be fore last, determined efforts were made to induce Outfielder Stengel to break a valid contract with the DoJg ors. Ebbetts declared that last Octo ber Wm. Dahlen, acting for the Brook lyn club, signed Stengel to a contract; that in response to a subsequent de mand by Stengel the ten-day release clause was stricken from the docu ment, but a month later Stengel was considering a Federal League offer. Two weeks ago Ebbetts saw Sten gel and learned, he says, that the Fed erals had offered to sign Stengel for two years and to pay him over $4,000 in cash. Rather than lose this player, whose services were demanded by Manager Robinson, Ebbetts was com pelled to meet the Federals' offer and therefore Stengel signed with the Brooklyn club all over again. Ebbetts says he is in possession of proof that Stengel wac tampered with after the Feds' suit had been filed with Judge I .and is, and that the negotiations by the Giimore agents were continued while the lawyers were arguing the case in court. NORMALS DEFEAT C. OF E. Teachers Win Basketball Game by the Score of 39 to IV. Emporia, Kan., Feb. 3. The Kan sas rtate Normals proved their super iority over the College of Emporia in basketball here Tuesday night by win ning the first of a series of three games, 30 to 19. Superior team work of the Normals was conspicuous. The first half wa3 a rough and tumble contest in which neither team scored heavily. The half ended 8 to 7 for the college. The Normals picked up in the second half, the scoring of Cul ter being the feature. Culter and Robertson played a spectacular game for the Normals. Russell and Alt man starred for the Presbyterians. E. C. Quigley refereed the game. TO MARRY HIS NURSE. IUlilie Foster. Baseball Player, Will Become Benedict Next Sunday. Chicago, Feb. 3. Eddie Foster, third baseman of the Washington American League club, who still calls Chicago his old home town, is going in for matrimony in Washington next Sunday, according to a dispatch from the capital city. The romance started during the Hummer of 1913, when Eddie was con lined to Georgetown University hos pital. Washington, suffering from ty phoid fever.

The Red Line basketball team of Glasco started on its long tour to Denver Monday and won the first game Monday night and defeating the strong Beloit team by the score of 63 to 17. The object of the trip is to raise funds for placing guide signs along the Red Line highway. The Glasco team has one of the strongest quintets in the state ana will take on all comers on the trip. Also, the manager of the tram extends a challenge to teams in this part of the state for games. A DECISION SATURDAY. Judge I.nndis Will Announce Outcome vi jiuNt-unu nun mis eek. Chicago, 111..

Anything rather than have thei caught flat-footed." TO MAKE FEW CHANGES Football Rules committee Will Meet This Week In New York. SPORT WHEEZES. Being Purloined Dos; Meat. Prune Pies. Lemon Sand wiches. Etc. New York. Feb. 3. For the first time in several seasons there will be no import ant changes in the football rules when the committee meets at the Hotel Baltimore on Friday and Saturday or this week. There may be some minor changes to ward abetter codification of the rules but there will be no radical amendments of any kind. The game, as it was played last year, was entirely satisfactory, and the rule makers see little chance for im provement. One of the principal abuses on the grid iron last year was the frequent use of substitutes to carry messages from the coaches to the captain on the field. A more drastic rule in regard to this matter may be passed. Parke H. Davis, the Princeton member of the committee, will make an effort to nrmiilariKe th mimtotrin? of nlayers among the committeemen, but it Is doubt- lul if Yale or Harvard will consent to x" numbering system. The majority or iooi ball coaches favor it, and everywhere it has been tried the results have been en tirely satisfactory. The members of the committee are as follows: S. K.

The only thing necessary to its enjoy ment is a slick high place, two boards and a bonehead. The bonehead carefully climbs, or crawls to the top of the slick high place. Then, he stands on the boards and coasts down to the jumping off place which is at the end of the high place. Then said bonehead rides on the air until the earth comes up and sustains him. Next Sunday the "magnuts" of the Western league will meet in Chicago to arrange a schedule for the coming season. To date no delegate has been chosen to represent the Topeka club, but Topeka will be given dates just the same. It would be a hard matter for Monsieur O'Neill to run a seven club circuit, and if Topeka doesn't have the honor of being the eighth, some other town with Topeka's fran chise will, that's a certainty. A gentleman who Is connected with big league ball said Tuesday that To peka has the opportunity of her exis tence to put a winning team on the Western league circuit this season. He also said that Topeka can have a team composed of class A. A. players for the same money she has had class A. players in the past. Here is what he bases his argument on: All the National league clubs will be forced to cut their rosters to 21 players when the season opens. All of the clubs have more than 21 first class players. Therefore, they will I j seeking a place to dispose of their ex tra players.. Also, it is natural that they would rather farm them out than sell them. Therefore, it would be an easy matter for Topeka to form a working agreement with a major league club and get a string of good players without having to trade kale seed or bird dogs for them. Grantland Rice gives the following as offside plays: "Success is planted by sinking short puts not hitting long drives. "The battle is always to the strong if the rest of it is 50-50. "And the race that isn't to the swift is usually a frame-up or a fake." He might have added: The man who saves his pennies is the one who has dollars to spend. To play billiards well is an accom plishment; but to jtlay exceeding'. well is to save 50 cents the hour when you are taking green. cloth recreation. Besides, what Is the. sign of a mis spent youth compared with a 4-bit piece in your pocket? Washburn college's basketball team is working hard for the annual clash with K.

The Jayhawkers are the favorites by long odds, but the Ichabods will Invade Mt Oread with all the strength they can muster and hope to give a creditable account of themselves. It is reported that Merrill Ream, captain of the team, will be- able to Dlav again in two weeks, but by that time the season will be so far advanced that many of the best games will nave been" played. E. C. Quigley, National League um pire, who has been, offered the men torshtp of the Purdue university baseball team this .spring, stated Tuesday that he probably would ac cept and would stay with the univer sity until just before the opening of the major league baseball season. Mr. Quigley is spending his spare time these days officiating at basket ball games. The fact that a "Big Nine" school is willing to pay him well for coaching Its baseball team a part of the time shows that he is held in high regard all ovpr the country. His record while at St; Marys demonstrat ed his ability as an all around coach, and his connection with a National League baseball club, makes his serv ices all the more valuable in this par ticular branch of sport. "Fighting fever is absolutely the worst disease with which a boxer can be afflicted. It's got grip, rheu matism and.' almost any other thing backed off the boards when it comes to working against the affected one. "Fighting fever" is not exactly caused by a boxer going stale in training, but rather it's a case of uneasiness brought on by thoughts of an ap proaching bout. It has been said time and again that fully 75 per cent of the boxers have bad an attack of "buck" some time or "other in their career. There are few exceptions to the rule. It has been hinted that "fighting fever" was the real cau for calling off the bout between Charlie White and Freddie Welsh at New York last week, with the Chi cago tad retiring to nis bed as a patient, Bill Rourke, Omaha's guardian of the Western League franchise there. announces the signing of Marty Krug, utility performer last year, to manage the Sterlings this year. -Krug's con tract, calling for a nice, juicy salary. has been deposited in the Rourke safe, free from the raids of the Federals and such things. Rourke has been after Krug for some time, trying to sign the former Red Sox to a contract, but there were some hitches in the financial end of the thing. These have now been cleared up and everything is fine. St, Joe Gazette. According to a statement credited to Harry Neily, former secretary of the Kansas City Federal League club, even the champion Indianapolis team did not have money enough to pay its last three pay rolls last season, until Robert Wad. of the. Brooklyn club came to the -'Wescue. Neily ex plains the sale of FaUtenburg of Indianapolis and Cullop of Kansas City, two of the most effective pitch' ers in the league, to Brooklyn as be ing tne resunt ot tn nnancial weak' ness or tnese two clubs. He says these two clubs failed to meet the last three pay rolls and that there would have been a scandal had not -the Wards come to the aid of these clubs with a bank roll.

If a newspaper would criticize the church people as severely as the aver age traveling evangelist does, as the tierington Times says, its editor would be tarred and feathered before the next issue. According to the Conway Springs Star, an old fellow at Oxford takes so much pride in telling how long he has lived there that his friends, to please him. admit that he dug the ditch for the Arkansas river to run in. Two Eureka girls are no longer friends because one started a story on the other that she had never been kissed, tells the Eureka Herald, and it adds: "Sweet sixteen and never been kissed," may be all right but sweet twenty, well that is another story.". Pity the poor doctors, pleads the Wathena Times, who have become ac customed to the speed, the luxury and the ease of automobiles only to have to go back to slow, plodding horses in the worst weather of winter, often driving day and night.

By an ac- I cident he was locked in the pantry Monday night with a plate of fish and one of fresh meat in jumping reach and both were found untouched when the pantry door was opened ii. the morning. That cat has a better work ing conscience than lots of people. The Kansas Industrialist -reported recently that it had located the sting iest man in a fellow who was found lathering his face with the ends of his whiskers. And Charley Blakesley of the Kansas City Star suggests that the Industrialist might have gone further and represented him as shaving him self with his shoulder blades. Something real in the thriller line happened near Powhattan recently. A farmer named Henderson saw a run away horse dash by his place hitched to a buggy containing a neighbor's wife and child. Henderson jumped in to his auto and gave chase. He suc ceeded In getting close enough to the horse to grab a rein and then slowed down both auto and horse.

For. strange as it may seem to the normal mind. tnere are everywhere happy people waiting to pounce down on such a statement and carry it where it will give pain. My own faults are like the sands of 'the sea in number, but I must say I cannot even conceive the state of mind in which one person cold-bloodedly goes to another and says, "So-and-so said this or that dis agreeable thing about you." To return to tne main theme, the desire to compare and to measure, by a foot-rule of merit or liking is one of the most deep-rooted instincts of the human mind. "Take the One That You Love Best" "Take the one that you love best before you close your eyes to rest." we chant at the age of six. and watch the selection with absorbed interest. In high school it has recently become a popular device for the class to vote as to which member of it is the most popular, which the prettiest, which the cleverest, etc. And the newspaper editor who wants some device to stim ulate his readers into writing to the paper need not hunt for anything new. He may .always rely on the old plan of having them express their opinion as to who is the greatest actress or the greatest ball player, or what are tho ten greatest books. Critics, again, always find it easier to awaken interest by comparing the merits of various books and plays than by discussing, each book or play as an entity to be judged entirely on its own merits. Measuring Distance by the Bushel. Of course there is nothing wrong in this instinctive desire for comparison. The only wrong is to overdo it and to forget that there are many things that cannot be compared. Comparisons are odious when you forcibly try to meas ure one thing by another of an entire ly different nature: You cannot com pare inches with volts or measure dis tance by the bushel. The old question as tq whether a woman should love her children or her husband best Is an example of this kind of forced and unnatural comparisons. If you ask a little nephew of mine which he likes best, his father or mother, he always smiles very sweetly and says "I like them both best." That is certainly a very "canny" way to deal with an unfair question, and I think many of us grownups would do well to copy his unwillingness to make com parisons where comparisons should not be made.

Maida sat in her .little shop, every nerve on edge. She had waked stolv ering faintly even in sleep the com ing ordeal had haunted her. But, with one black frock to ber name, and that growing rusty, something had to be done -unless She would not let the thought,, the apprehension' rather, shape Itself ar ticulately. But Greenville articulated it loudly, saying in parlors, choir- meetings,, upon street corners even, tt wag the poorhouse for those proud Jeff ersohs. unless Maida-came to her senses and married Bev Jones. What if he were elderly a bald bachelor, and grizzled as to what hair remain' ed Hadn't he two farms besides money ahead? Also wasn't he anx ious to live .in Greenville, renting or leasing the farms if it could be man aged with home cooking and without too mucn expense? Jefferson cooking was famous taste of it indeed had first set him considering Maida. Nobody knew it certainly, though surmise was open enough that the Jeffersons, mother and daughter, had stinted themselves through a month in order to afford the marvels of rich cake they had sent to the missionary festival. Neither of them had come upon plea of recent bereavement. It had saved their faces, to be sure, but Sis Jenkins had sniffed she didn't really believe they had the price of tickets, and since it was in a cause so holy there was of course no free list. Thus Ehe had been free to drop a hint in the bachelor's ear, after he had devoured hia third slice of cake, and was offering to buy what remain ed of the bigger loaf, if the price were made to suit. There he had been turned down the cake was going like wildfire as later his advances were turned down by Maida herself. The missionary fes tival had shot a faint ray of hope to her. It had hurt so to think she couia do nothing but marry for a living. since her. only talent appeared to be for homemaking. Cooking she loved dearly, not tbe while disdaining books. Her education had been desultory, got mostly at home browsing amid old good books. Her dear father, the major, had been so much a book worm he had let his estate slip peace meal through his fingers. .His office he had made a feint of practicing law stood at the roadside, well away from the rambling house. House, ragged lawn, the office; itself, were mortgaged, and so- heavily they were as good as lost. Paying the last interest had taken everything but one cow and the chickens. All told, they would hardly fetch enough at sher iffs sale, even waiving exemption, to pay more than court .costs of fore closure. But until New Year, the Jeffersons were secure. Hence the shop. Mama had scrubbed and whitewashed the office, curtained the half door, the tiny window, with her sole party frock out of style, even if she had not been beyond hope of use for it. She had set the mahogany side tables, which her great-grandfather had fetched across the Alleehanies, end to end, for a counter, covering them with the very best tablecloth. Upon it. in the finest china they owned, mother and daugh ter had spread cakes, pies, custards, loaves of fresh salt-rising bread, crisp beaten biscuit, melting tea cakes, most extravagantly of all. a ham, boiled and baked, spiced and wine flavored, un- i til it perfumed delicately the whole place. All this had meant a fearful outl. y one that spelled rul.i if customers did not come. But Maida had said with a rather grim laugh. "If the worst happens, mammy we'll live high for a fortnight our stock being edible." They had cooked all day Thursday, the most part of Friday, and made the biscuit early Saturday morning. There was something of method in their mad ness. Auto travel was always heaviest Saturdays. This particular Saturday had a Sunday-Monday holiday interval ahead, hence the trafficwould be cer tainly double. Riding made people hungry that the Jeffersons had al ready found out through pleas for food food of any sort. So far they had given ungrudgingly. Even in extremity the thought of sale grated. But Maida's hand has been steady when she nallea up the sign outside. She couldn't bear to let mammy Bee how she v-as hurt. She went on duty as saleswoman while the last biscuits were baking. Nobody came. Her heart went down, down, down, as each whirr of wheels sped forward unchecked. At 11 not one person evidently had noticed the sign. She ran outside for a minute. It seemed to her she must scream without a breath of air. But she got scant re freshment, for as she lifted her eyes they fell upon Eev Jones getting down from his buckboard and grinning tri umphantly. He strode through the outer door, which gave upon the road, helped himself to a couple of tea cakes', ogled the Jam. and called lust ily? Forward!" as he had heard men do In the city stores.. 'Good morning! Want anything? Maida said loftily. He answered with his mouth full, "Bet yer life! Want pretty much everything in sight. Say, these here sweet cakes would liven a wooden Injun. Have another, Bev!" helping himself: 'So good they've put a fine notion in my head. It's this now that you've done the cookln' up so fine, why not let's have a weddln'? I'm ready." "How about the bride?" Maida flung back. He laughed loudly. "The bride? Oh, she'll be throwed In with the sup per, see! I allow ter pay a lot fer the supper. Let's see! How much Is the mortgage and interest?" "You can find out at the bank' being a director," Maida answered, a red spot flaming in either cheek. The spots ought to have warned Bev, instead they made him more reckless. "George! Cook in' becomes you! Didn't know till this minute how good you looked," he cried, com ing close and trying to clutch her hand. She evaded him, and tried to say lightly, "All I want you to admire is this," nodding at the spread table. "But don't think you can drive bar gains. Remember, I have a healthy appetite "And soon won't have much but county vittela for It," Bev returned doggedly. "Now see here Maid that'd be a shame. Be sensible. Take me!

Once upon a time there lived a woman who had two daughters, Jane, her own daughter, and Hester, her step-daughter. Jane would never help her mother and spoke cress to her many times; but Hester was a good girl and helped her step-mother and never said unkind things. They were very poor and one day Hester was working in the garden wondering if the vegetables would grow and keep them from starving when she saw something shining In the earth. She picked' It up and found It was a piece of gold. She pushed aside (tie earth and found another piece; she hurried into the house to show her good luck to step-mother and sister. "Where did you find it?" asked Jane. When Hester told her Jane hurried out to the garden and dug around the vegetables,' spoiling some of them In her eagerness to find the sold, but she did not find tt. and she came back to the house feeling very closs. "You should give me one piece." she told Hester. "The garden belongs, to me as much as to you." "I shall spend it all for food," Hester replied, "and you will receive as much as anyone." But Jane was not satisfied. She wanted the gold; and so Hester gave her one of the pieces. The next morning Jane said: "I am going to the city to buy a silk gown." "You are a selfish girl," said her mother. "Hester has given you half of what she found and will spend the rest for food, and you are going to the city to spend your gold for a dress for yourself. "I am tired of living here," replied Jane, "and I am going to buy a silk gown and live in the city." and she went out of tbe house without saying "Good by to her mother or Hester. She had walked along only a abort distance when, she met an old beggar woman. "Please hel me," said the beggar; "l am faint with hunger." "I cannot help you.' replied Jane;' "1 am on my way to the city to buy a silk gown, and I cannot be bothered with beggars." "Will you help me to a well, where I can get a drink of cool water?" asked tbe beggar. "I have no time to waste," replied Jaae. "I must hurry to the city,", aad she left the poor woman standing in the road. The same day Hester told her step mother she was going to the next town to buy food, "and I will bring you a new cap, too,"- she said. "You are a good girl," said her step mother; "you are kinder to me than my own daughter." Hester kissed her stepmother and went down the road. On the way she met the same beggar that Jane had refused to help. "Please help me." said the old beg gar; "1 am faint, and must have food. "I have no food to give you." said Hester, "but I will give you a drink of cool water from the well yonder, and if you will wait until I return from town I will bring you food." The old lady was glad to have the water, and said she would wait until Hester returned from town. Hester hurried away, and bought the food and the, cap for her stepmother, and when she returned there was the old beggar waiting for her. Hester gave her a loaf of bread. "You can take.it home with you. and here Is an apple and some meal," said Hester. And then the strangest thing happen ed. Aw xruP handed the .bread to the old woman, loaf upon loaf piled up be side her: the ground was covered with apples, a bag of meal was lying on the ground, and when Hester looked at her basket it was filled, and so heavy she could not carry It. You will need a wagon to carry all your things home," said the old woman. "This does not belong to me," said Hester. "Yes. It does," said the old woman; "and now you must have a horse and wagon." and she touched a big rock as she spoke, and there stood the horse and wagon, ready to take Hester and her provisions home. Hester began to pick up the apples and put them Into the bottom of the wagon, but the bag of meal was heavy, and so was the basket, but the old woman touched them and Hester lifted them without feeling their weight. "You are a good girl," said the old woman; "you shared your gold with your selfish stepsister and you helped a stranger, and, best of all you are kind to your stepmother; who Is fond of you. When you reach home, do not be surprised at anything that happens, for I am your fairy godmother, and I buried the gold for you to find." Hester thanked her for all the good luck that had come to her, and drove home, and when she took the things from the wagon there was so much that part had to be stored in the barn. And instead of one cap for her step mother, there were two. Her stepmother wondered how one piece of gold could purchase So much, and Hester told her about the fairy godmother. The next day Jaife returned from the city without the silk gown. "My gold was stolen from me and I am tired and hungry." she told them. "You do not deserve to be helped." said her mother; "you were so selfish: but if you are willing to do your share ..ne wor nad help. Hester, if she le, willing, you may stay." Hester was quite wining tb have' Jane, and Jane was so ashamed of the way she had behaved in the past that she did more than her share of the: work, and showed In many ways that she had repented of the selfish manner in which she had treated her mother and Hester.

AT THE THEATERS.

At the Iris. Edward Abeles in "After Five" will be the offering at the Iris today and tomorrow. Life insurance is the basis of "After Five." one of the best comedies yet produced. The "policy" in the case is taken out with the most tragic intent. The insurance in ques tion is for the tidy little sum of $50, 000 and is contracted for not with the expectation of living but with the de liberate intent oi dying, ana tnereDy perrr itting the hero, though dead, to restore to his sweetheart the money which he has lest -for her in a stock exchange investment. But suicide in validates the policy, and therefore, the hero must contrive an "accidental end for hlmelf. In spite of all ef forts he. fails at first, and then very nearly succeeds at just the tizne when circumstances have changed and he wants to live after all. Edward Abeles plays the role of Ted. Swing, the hero of this strange tale,, with such sincer ity and enthusiasm that he makes the most unlikely complications seem en tirely credible. William 'Farnum in The Gilded Fool". Friday and Sat urday. At the Novelty. Boyle Woolfolk's newest tabloid, "A Good Fellow." a musical farce com edy, will be presented at the Novelty theater for three days beginning to morrow afternoon. The book is by Mark Swan, one of the foremost writ ers of the present day, and the music and lyrics by Boyle vVoolfolk and Fe lix Rice. "A Good Fellow" will be remem be. as the piece in which Eva Tan guay, now vaudeville's greatest favor ite, made her first bid for fame. Miss Tanguay's part, that of "Dolly Se-v- r," a girl secretly married, is played by Misa Irene Chesleigh of the Chesleigh Girls, a well known vaude ville team. Miss Chesleigh is supported by an excellent cast which includes George Faulkner, last season's star in "The Girl in the Taxi." A chorus of young and pretty girls will add to the en tertaining value of the show. Among the song numbers are "Wrap Me Up in a Bundle," "I'll Fol low You," "Ask Sherlock Holmes," and "Sheltering Palms." v c- At the Hip. Augustus Thomas, the famous American playwright, who made the opening address at the Hotel Astor ballroom when D'Annunzio's "Ca biria" was presented privately pre vious to !ts American premiers, is authority for the statement that "this great Italian film is the most accurate historical picture that has been made since the perfection of motion pho tograph." Mr. Thomas says: "Mo loch, the tribal deity of the Ammon ites, and probably identical with the Sungod. is the principal feature of U Annunxio s story. Moloch, or Mo- lech (originally Melek, meaning king) was intentionally mispointed in the Hebrew on the analogy of Cosheth in order to discredit it. The title Is found widely spread through the Sem itic races as a Divine name, but in the Old Testament it is especially con nected with the religion of Amnion. History shows that Molech was the special tribal God of the Ammonites. J standing to them in the sam relation Vs'v, is..-' tllp this Week. as did Chesmosh to the Moabites. The -tic.ilar rite con -.ewtioh with his Worship was the secrifice of children by fire." It is this service D'Ahhun zio has taken for his gr indwork and "Cabiria" is the name of the infant saved from this barbaric practice. "Cabiria" is being shown -at the Hip all this w. eli. 1 At the Orpheom. Runaway June and Francis X. Bushman are the new features at the Orpheum today. In the third chapter the June serial broadens and new characters are introduced into this money and woman picture. One of tne most important parts, that of the boarding housekeeper, portrayed by Miss Sue Belfdur, lends special inter est to the story. A comedy element is brought into action by Mrs. Blye When she tries to hang onto her 'husband's trunk. Probably the most exciting scene snows Jne s husband trapping the man with the black Vandyke, The other feature bears the title, "The Battle of Love," an Essanay produc tion in three acts. Francis X. Bush man has the lead and is supported by Ruth Stohehouse and Lillian Drew. This film? is produced in Conjunction with the story of the same title that appeared in the Ladies' World maga zine. -The usual two acts of vaudeville are also on the bill. SANTA FE NOTES.

Kansas has come to the relief of the beef steer and his sister.- The sirloin family is threatened with extinction at the hands of the foot and mouth disease- which is a new disease tn the sirloin family, although an old one among politicians. In fact, this dis ease is so new that no one seems to know what to do about it, and the peril of the T-bone producers was great when the legislature solved the problem. The legislature prescribed $10,000. Whether it will be fed to the suffering bovine in that form of currency known as "long green," which might Induce said cow to eat it under the impression that it was al falfa, has not been decided, but the cash is available at this time. At any rate, here's hoping the dose proves effective There is nothing so depressing to Kansas as a disease that threatens the plate roast industry for Which this country is justly fartious. It is the propagation of the lowing kine and her lowing kinder that has brought many good citizens to the State of affluence which permits them to oome to the Kansas legislature and pay 80 per cent of their own expenses Without mortgaging the West eighty They Prescribed $10,000. to raise the kush. In fact, the cow family is of more importance in Kan sas than any imported royal family could be. One cannot eat a duke, and doesh't want to, but nearly any hum ble wage earner will go without shoes to save the price of a chuck steak and he has to save just about the price of a pair of shoes to do it. That the cow family should be permitted to die out like the bullmoose family is out of the question, and if ten times the ten thousand appropriation is needed, it should be forthcoming in jig time. SWAT THE FOOT AND MOUTH DIS EASE! About the usual number of "uplift" bills have appeared this session. "Up lifting" is a favorite lndpor exercise with many professional uplifters, who uplift at a stimulated sum per uplift. Others, engaged in the same business, draw regular salaries for uplifting, and do not always earn the same. Their activities are confined to buss ing members of either house, distribu ing circulars through the legislative postoffices without paying postage and doing"' other iistit chores tn or about the legislative, .halls. Careful e3timat'-r "yye, estimated that uplifters" cost tne state"a7Bburj0,- 000 per session, asftfe rifrn What'they can put over" in tht legislative way. This estimate is based upon the time of legislators taken up by the uplifters, and the theory that the legislature could adjourn sooner and would not have to hire so many sergeants-at-arms to prevent the uplifters from jumping into the laps of members during the rush hours.' There is some doubt concerning the socalled probe to investigate the ex Dense accounts of those who have giv en their time and efforts to the ad vancement of the Kansas exhibits in the California fairs. It may be, of course, that the commissioners, who do not draw a salary, so far forgot themselves as to eat at hotels instead of jitney lunch joints while in Califor nia, and that they patronised the din ing cars en route, rather than Waiting until the end of a division and then hopping off to rush a can of coffee from the colored purveyor just across from the depot. These crimes may be proven on the commissioners and should the investigating committee be composed of legislators who actually live on the princely stipend they are paid for their services, the fair com missioners may be slapped on the wrist for their awful extravagance. That groundhog had nothing on the house bill to make publishers respon sible for advertisements. It came out. turned around and went right bacK again.

TRIED TO SCULP UN OFFICER East Side Woman Defied Duties of Jfegro Sanitary 3Ian. Diphtheria Suspect Turned Out To Be Only Tonsilitls. There were some indignant women In the neighborhood of 411 Chandler street today. Complaint had been made to the city board of health that a child in a family named Wolf at 411 Chandler street was ill, and that it was believed the disease was diph theria. The matter was reported to Dr. J C. McGill, city physician. Aaron Green, colored, a sanitary policeman, was also notified. He was Informed that a case of diphtheria existed there which had not been carded and went there to tack up a warning card. The -voman of the house not know ing the purpose of his visit, thought he had been sent to examine the child and. refused to open the door for him. She was indignant, believ ing a colored man and not a physi cian had been sent tn ileu of a doctor. One woman threatened to scald the colored officer. Protests began to pour into the of fice of the city sanitary sergeant and W. L. Porter, head of that department. immediately got in touch with Doctor McGill, and to his. surprise learned, he said, that the city physcian instead of Investigating the case, had instructed that the child suspected of having diphtheria come to his office to be examined. When Porter learned this, tele phone wires began to sizzle. McGill sizzled right back at his superior. Por ter said, saying he would run his of fice as he saw fit. Porter then noti fied him to "get right down there and investieate that case immediately" or he (the commissioner) would "get someone who would." The city physi cian went. Tonsilitis and not diphtheria was found to be the child's ailment. ROAST FOR HENRY ALLEN House Voted for Resolution Condemn ing Article on State Texts. FLAYED BY STOUE Bolting Democrats Bitterly As sailed by Missouri Senator. Denounced as Traitors Read Out of Party. and Washington, Feb. 3.-The Democrats who joined the Republicans in the ship purchase bill fight were denounced as traitors and virtually read out of the party by Senator Stone in the upper house this afternoon. .So strong was Stone's language that Senator O'Gor man. one of the seven bolters, made a point of order that Stone was violating the rule of personally abusing a fel low senator. "I think I am amenable to the rule, Mr. President," Stone said, "be cause the conduct of those senators could not be referred to without breaking the rule." "I insist," broke in O'Gorman, "that the. chair force the senator from Missouri to take his seat until he purges himself of his conduct." Stone apologized with a very evident sneer and then paraphrazed Mark An thony's speech on the death of Caeser in continuing his attack. STATE HOUSE SLUSH. Suggestion That Janitors Leave Warm Corridors Long Enough to Work, The attention of a State Journal re porter was called to the condition of thi walks around the state house. A party of Topeka ladies went to the state house this morning and they complained of having to wade through the slush. The same reporter, this morning before the ice on the walks was melted, fell and suffered a serious fracture of his dignity. One of the ladies of the party pointed out that the city has no au thority to go in and clean the state house walks, but a large force of jan itors is maintained in the building and they might leave the warm corridors of the building long enough to clean a path to the entrances to enable people who go to the state house to get through without having to wade the snow and slush.

The senate' todav went on record favor ing a rediatricting of the judicial districts of the state, which if carried out will cut out ten or a dozen districts and effect economies to exceed $50,000. The senate this afternoon adopted a mo tion presented by McMillan, of Ottawa, directing the committee on judicial, ap portionment to draft a redistrict of the state. McMillan's motion was a substi tute for one which proposed to delegate that work to a commission which would report back to a succeeding session of the legislature. NEW HIGH RECORD. Wheat After Early Decline Rebounds and Toucbes 3 The house spent twent- minutes this morning condemning a newspaper ar ticle. The article in question was an editorial from the pen of Henry J. Allen of Wichita, who jokingly told about poor pronunciation and worse English found its place place in the Kanaat primer and the halftones in the Kansas history which he inti mated were anything but a credit to the state. So deeply offended was Ma.hurin of Coffey that he introduced a resolution about the matter. That there should be no doubt as to just where he stood, Mr. Mahurin also made a speech about the Allen editorial. Several other mem bers also made speeches. All declared that the editorial was a libel on the state. All of the members except Sat terthwaite, who is newspaper man, voted for the resolution. It was the first time since representatives of a Kansas City newspaper were banished from the press tables in 1907 that a state legislature has officially recog nized newspaper criticism. Following the passage of the Mahurin resolution, the house took up the Way man resolution concerning national prohibition. The resolution called on the Kansas delegation in Washington to support the Hobson resolution. The Kansas delegation voted unanimously tor the passage of this resolution two months ago. The Wayman document was unanimously adopted. DEATHS AND FUNERALS, Nelly May Hedrick, the two months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harlies Hedrick of 711 Lake street, died today.

Fighting between the English and Turks continues at Kurna, according to a dispatch from Bagdad, which describes a night at tack made by 200 Turks. Two English battalions posted on opposite sides of the town the dispatch says, became confused and fired on each other for several hours. The Turks were driven back at daybreak by fire from the British gunboats. An expeditionary force is operating at the head of the Persian gulf. It was announced early in Decem ber that the Turkish forces at Kurna had surrendered and that the town was occupied by the British who thus gained control of th3 country from the Juction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers near which Kurna is situated to the Persian gulf. A dispatch from Lisbon says: "Reinforcements have been sent to Angola as the Germans now occupy the greater part of that colony." Announcement was made early in January that German forces had in vaded Portuguese Angola on the western coast of 1 Africa, although there had been no declaration of war between the two countries. The Por tuguese casualties in Angola were esti mated at that time at about 800 killed wou nded and prisoners. The Germans were said to have lost about 200. It was said that 4,000 fresh Portuguese troops were ready to embark for Africa. TELLS OF REVELS. fContlnued from page One.l Stone BUI in House to Pay Tecumseh Woman's Old Warrant. Speaker Stone today introduced in the house a bill calling for the pay ment to Mrs. Thomas N. Stinson of Te cumseh, of a territorial claim of S534.60 for which the territorial audi tor of 55 years ago issued a warrant, but which was subsequently repudiat ed by the territorial legislature. The Stone bill calls upon the state to at once take up the four warrants held by Mrs. Stinson and pay her 3531.60, the amount of her claim in full. During the term of H. J. Strickler as territorial auditor, warrants in the amount of $349,933.36 were issued to pay territorial claims. The last ter ritorial legislature and the first state legislature both took action repudiat ing these claims. Thomas N. Stinson of Tecumseh held four warrants. They are still held by the widow, who is now in needy circumstances and the house speaker will urge the legislature to pay the warrants. SENATE NOTES.' Acute Articular Rheumatism The exact cause of rheumatism is un known, though It la generally believed to be due to an excess of uric acid In the blood. It may be also said with equal truth tbat no remedy has been found which is a specino in an eases, in net toe literature oi rheu matism shows that there are but few drugs which have not been given a trial. In the bands of one observer we find that a certain drug has been used with the utmost satis faction; others have found the asms remedy to be a great disappointment. All physi cians however agree that every method of treatment Is aided by the administration' of some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet the nervous system and Dr. W. B. Scbultxe expresses the opinion of thousands of prac titioners when he says that Antl-Kamnla Tablets should be given preference over all other remedies for the relief of the pain In 11 forms of rheumatism. These tablets can be purchased In any quantity. They are also unsurpassed In headaches, neuralgias and all pain. Ask for A-K Tablets. t Advertisement.) Provision for the use of state and federal funds in. counties which are or may be organized for the employment of a county farm agent is made in a bill introduced toaay by Senator Klein of Allen county. The Klein bill permits the appropriation of from $800 to $1,600 by the board of com missioners in any county where a farm bureau has been organized with the approval of the State Agricultu ral college, and the appropriation of a like amount from the joint fund created under the Smith-Lever bill to be turned over to the county organ! zation. The senate today ordered the bill for the establishment of a state board of preliminary examination for per sons desiring to practice the healing arts in Kansas, by Senator Huffman placed on the calendar under general orders, after it had been made the subject of an adverse committee re port. Senator Wilson of Jefferson county today introduced a bill directing courts of this state in which prisoners are acquitted, of crime on a defense of in sanity to' immediately deliver the de fendant to an insane hospital for treatment. Two bills modifying the operation of the state compensation laws, passed four years ago. have been introduced by Senator Milton. Senator Logan proposes to amend the state mortgage tax laws in such a man ner that the owner of property shall be exempt from the payment of tax on that part or nis property covered by a mort-1 gage. The bill would leave the tax on mortgages as it now stands but would ex empt that much of the value of the mort gaged property from other taxation, lead ing the property owner to pay on only the amount of own equity in the property after the amount of mortgage had been subtracted from the assessed valuation. The bill would make the mortgage tax able In the county where the property :s located. It would make the mortgage salable for delinquent taxes just as the land now Is. except where specific pro vision is made against that plan. After a heated debate today, the house voted 50 to 49 to kill the Nelson bill providing that -the probate court in counties with a population of less than 24,000 should perform the service ol a county court.- The bill gave the probate court Jurisdiction in misdemeanor cases and civil cases involving less than $1,00.- Denies Break With Wilson.

All persons going from Kansas points to Kansas City, Mo., will be forced to pay 'the extra half cent per mile. The Kansas public utilities commission will file a protest against the new ruling on the grounds that it is discrimination against Kansas. It is possible to escape the extra cost by buying a ticket to some city just across the line from Kansas City. To go to the union depot will mean the payment of the extra charge, Tickets from Topeka to Kansas City will cost $1.80 under the ruling. Tiro present price is $1.39. The present fare from Wichita is $4.31, while at the 2Vs cent rate the fare will be $5.50. The utilities commission will ask that the rates be made 2 cents from Kansas points to the Missouri line, and from there to cities in,, that state ,a be the higher rate. AFTER COLORED BOY.

As the police matron passed the dance hall she observed a young girl with low-cut. dress, elbow sleeves, no wrap, shivering m tne coia A young boy, her companion, was at tired in evening dress. The two were giving signals to be admitted." Drunken Young Man. "The story goes that a dance was be ing given in Kellam hall by high school pupils. 'and that one 'young man, a member of a respected family, whose name was not given, came on to the dance floor In a drunken condition, and was so unmanly and ungallant as to slap a young girl in the face. The voune man was permitted to remain on the floor, while the girl in humiliation and tears retired from the room. "T could not go in to ascertain tne truth or untruth of these complaints. I talked with H. B. Wilson, city super intendent of schools, and told him .of these complaints. Mr. Wilson said he had also received similiar complaints. Superintendent Knew It. "He said the parties were given out side of the school and without the consent or knowledge of the school authorities. I found that the boys and girls select their own chaperons from. among their young friends. Tne chaperons are honored guests. It would be very .'naughty in them to complain should there be wrong conduct.- They, have no authority to put a stop to mischief which might occur. Perhaps they are in for the "fun," too. These youthful dancers are not super vised by a parent, or a teacher, or a person responsible for their best interests. "I want the parents to know of these complaints, i am sure they will wish to look into the situation. Sucm conduct kept secret from teachers and parents teacnes boys and girls to be tricky and deceitful, to be violators of law. and not the patriotic and desirable citizens high school training is honed to make of them.

A caucus chairman and floor leader is usually selected by the voting rep resentatives or each party. In the good old days when men were some times accused of playing politics in legislative affairs, a floor leader was considered a good investment. The caucus leader handed out advice to tne members who had not as yet learned their seat numbers and the beginners in the lawmaking erame were able to vote to the best political advantage. This year the Republi cans, the Democrats and. the Progres sives each elected floor leaders. But up to tne time when the legislature took up its grind this morning, at least, no ordinary legislative observer could guess which party the various floor leaders represented. in former sessions when an admini. tration failed to put through its plat form promises, its campaign orators dragged out a copy of the house or senate Journal and showed that the opposition voted against them. Conse quently nothing was done. It is an old, time honored alibi. But in the campaign of 1916. the house iournal will not be used. It will show that the house was as inanimous as a mass convention in the interest of universal peace. Possibly in keepine his forces close ly allied with those of the opposition. Mr. Doerr is playing a clever, crafty game of politics that is far above the understanding or the legislative ob servers. His plans, however, are known only to himself. Up to date he has merely succeeded in making the session of the lower branch of the legislature so harmonious that it was oppressive. One day when busines was dull. Mr. Doerr in 'the interest of the public weal and economy, offered a resol"j tion against the creation of a new fed eral judicial district in Kansas. The little resolution WuS framed to put wheels under the political ambitions of Congressman Neeley and the Re publicans joined in helping Mr. Doerr kick up a new discoru in his own party. Another time only Tuesday. A mes sage came over from the senate saying that Senator Balle waggener wanted to know what the efficiency an econ omy commission was all about. Frank L. Martin, chairman of tne committee in the house, offered a resolution point ing to the glorious achievements which the committee expected to accomplish sometime in the future. It was a di rect kick at the dean of the Democratic senate. The resolution came up for passage. Mr. Doerr voted "aye." So did 47 other Democrats. Tom Moxcey of Atchison was one member on the Dem ocratic side to vote against the resolu tion.

The senate killed senate bills Nbs. 109, to permit cities to erect club rooms for boys and girls, and 157, au thorizing cemetery associations to levy a tax for general improvements. The Howe bill for boys' and girls' club houses in the towns of Kansas perished on its final passage in the senate Tuesday afternoon. "The cur few bell at 9 o'clock sounds better to me than the bell on the top of the club house ever could," declared Senator Price of Clark. "When my children are out of school I want them at home with me and not mingling with others of both sexes in a club house likely at any time to be under slip-shop man agement. I am against this bill." A large-proportion of the other senators who had participated in amending it nearly to death in committee of the whole voted the same way. His bill for the establishment of ice plants, in .Kansas towns by vote of the people- having been killed on final passage in the senate. Sutton of Bar ton county has drawn the measure in a new form and- will make a second fight for its life. He has Introduced the second bill which has been put in such shape that it can be amended or modified to meet specific conditions without altering the existing laws which affect water, light and natural gas enterprises conducted by Kansas municipalities. Sutton wants a law for the relief of the small towns of west ern Kansas, where ice is prohibitively expensive. Senator Troutman of Shawnee has introduced a 'bill to. authorise cities of the first class to acquire playgrounds for the benefit of children whose ac tivities are confined to the streets. When the Howe club room bill was under discussion an effort was made to tack the playground idea on the same measure. It is probable the play ground measure will meet with better luck. One of the interesting exhibits in the rotunda of the state house, where per sons interested in legislative enact ments are permitted to make displays, is that of the voting machine which yesterday was the center of a group of folks who had never seen one in oper ation before. A voting machine bill which will give Kansas communities home rule In deciding whether to rec ord votes by the old or the more mod ern method has been introduced at this session.' The troubles attendant upon last year's election have created a sentiment for reforms in the con gested precincts of many parts of the state. A bill requiring state officials to turn In all fees to the state treasurer, by Noah L. Bowman, senator of An derson, is aimed at correcting the sit uation which permitted the state "treas urer and auditor to collect and keep certain fees not covered by previous legislation.

And Don't Forget That the Best Place in Town to Eat Luncheon Is on the Annex Bridge. YEn::a review. Vernon, the hypnotist, began an en gagement -at the Grand last night that will continue during the remainder of tha week. And ha seems to be an un usually clever man at this trade. At any rate, he mystified and entertained thu large audience that was present at Sis opening performance, and he promises, and not without good reason, that his work will be more interesting at each of hi exhibitions to coma. He works with volunteers from his audiences, and.- as he explained, it Is necessary for him to ascertain tha power he can exercise ovor hls subjects, before he attempts to put them through the limits of the hypnotic paces. But he seemed to have his new subjects at last night's performance un der well nigh perfect control, and the stunts that he made them pull oft were ludicrously funny. His major exhibition last night was the awakening the man he had had under a hypnotic sleep of forty hours' duration In a Kansas avenue drug store window. But before bringing Mm back from the land of nod he threw him Into a, cataleptic trance, stretched his stiffened body across the backs of two chairs, the head resting on one and the feet on tht other, and then piled three two-hundred pound men from the audience on It. He could have put on a greater weight but there wasn't room. This was done to demonstrate that a hypnotic sleep of such a duration has no weakening effect on the physical strength of the subject. And using this same subject later In the evening. Prof. Vernon gave the most tnvstlfylng exhibition of his powers. After putting the subject to sleep, the professor went through the audience, asking tests far the subject to perform.

One man wanted his. watch takes out-of his pocket, another suggested that his hat be removed from beneath the seat and placed on his head, a third wanted a key taken from his toft hand eoat pocket, and so on. Vernon merely jotted these re quest down on a card he held In hla han-i. Then he led his subject, still under the hynotlc sleep and with eyes closed, through the audience snd without saying a word to him, merely leading him on with passes from his hands but not touch ing him, the professor had him pick out the persons who had suggested the test. And In no Instance did the subject fall to perform the test correctly. This Is the only feat that Mr. Vernon stages at each of his exhibitions, all of his other work being different from what he has already done. And this Is certainty an exhibition of hypnotics well worth seeing. During his stay here Professor Vernon will have a hypnotised subject doing some kind of a stunt daily In Kansas avenue store windows, whom he will awaken on the stage at the Grand on the evening of that day.

Itexford, Kan., Feb. 3. The pigeon breeding of H. A. Diemer, adjoining Rexford, Thomas county, is one of the interesting sights of this part of the state. It ih only six years old, but ev ery year Mr. Diemer has been adding to it until it has beeome a plant of larse dimensions. He is a produce dealer of Rexford, and during his spare time conceived the idea that raising equabs for shipment was a paying proposition. He started up his Industry with eight pairs of Homer pigeons. In 1914 he had 2,500 old birds. He has seven houses besides a yard fenced in front of each bird house so that the pigeons are not out of their premises. This year he starts In to raise prize birds and will operate with the Belgian Carneax. The squabs from these birds will sell for more on the market than the Homers. In the last year Mr. Diemer shipped out 8.500 squabs and sold them for $3 per dozen. So far all the expenditures and the prices paid have made him a good profit. The ranch is in its in- A Section of One of the Biggest Pigeon Ranches in Western Kansas. fancy, and Mr. Diemer expects to in crease its capacity from year to year. IN TROUBLE ALL AROUND. Former Kansan on Trial for Murder Being Sued for Divorce, Hutchinson, Kan., Feb. 3. While his legal wife is suing him for a di vorce in the Reno county district court, Morris Bohannon, formerly of Kansas, is on trial for murder in Los Angeles, Cal. t Bohannon is charged with murder of a California girl, it is alleged. The details of the case are not known here, but he is charged with being involved in a sensational affair. In the meantime his legal wife, whom he had married in Wichita five years ago, and who charges that he deserted her two years later, is in Hutchinson. She asks the court to restore her to her i laiden name, Clare E. George. AT EARNED HOSPITAL,. Legislators Visit Institution for Pur pose of Giving Cash. Larned, Kan., Feb. 3. Representa- tive Sherman G. Elliott of Douglas county, chairman of the house com mittee on charitable institutions, and Representative Milton of Stafford county, a member of the committee, spent Sunday at the Larned State Hospital Investigating the needs of the institution. Other members of the committee were detailed by Chairman Elliott to visit the other charitable in stitutions of the state. On reassem bling in Topeka the committee will re port to the legislature whether in its judgment the appropriations asked for by the state board of control should be allowed, reduced or in creased. Chairman Brooks of the board of control and State Architect Chandler accompanied the committee members on their visit to the Larned hospital. It is the opinion of Chairman Elli ott that the legislatures for a number of years to come should be especially liberal in appropriations for the Larn ed hospital, until it is built un to an equality with the asylums at Topeka ana usawatomie and can care for ap proximately the same number of pa tients, 1,700 to 1,800. Result of Recent Battles. "The Nations now at war are sow ing hate and will reap thorns for their own impalement. Though Peace stops the fighting it will be a mockery. That is sure." Is it worth the price? This European war was born of the hatred caused by earlier warfare it will engender other wars between the same nations in the future. .The sons vet unborn will carry this hatred in their blood to blaze into warfare when the spark is touched -by Kings or Statesmen who are yet in infancy. It's bad blood that makes your liver sluggish- and the same bad blood causes your stomach muscles to lose their elasticity and become flabby and weak and that means indigestion.

That the results obtained during the first month- that Tapeka's temporary detention hi me for juveniles has been established clearly proves the need of a permanent institution for Juveniles is the conviction of Hugh MacFarland, juvenile judge of Shawnee county, and Ed Rooney, probation officer. The temporary home was estab lished January 1, at 418 Van Buren street by the board of county -om- mi3sioners as an -experiment to ascer tain the need of such an Institution in Topeka. During January eleven children were placed in the home and were cared for at a cost of $75 which is a little more than 56 cents a day. "The juveniles were cared for at about three-fourths the cost of keep ing them at the county jaiL" said Judge MacFarland. "The board alone in the county jail would have amount ed to 50 cents an inmate a day. have not a doubt but that by the end of six months .the need of a perma nent institution will be clearly demonstrated."" A bill providing for a home for jpveniles under supervision of the juvenile court for counties with popu lations more than 90,000 has been thrown into the house hopper by Hol- brook of Wyandotte. It is expected that pressure will be brought to bear to lower the required population to 60,000. If this is done Shawnee coun ty will be included. Since they have held their present positions, Rooney and MacFarland have been working for an institution for juveniles under the supervision of the juvenile court. Topeka s temporary institution was arranged for to give the idea a try out following an agreement of the Sh-.wnee county commissioners to fur nish the necessary funds. Six boys and five girls were placed at the home during January.-- Mrs. Bundy is the matron in charge of the home. TEST WATER HERE.

Upon the l:-recommendation of any physician in trie city analyses of water will be made free of charge. Already water from three wells suspected of containing impurities or disease germs have been tested,. A well at 121 Hoi- man street was thought to be a pos sible source of typhoid, as the disease had appeared in a family using water from this well. Before the city laboratory was equipped to do the work several days would have beenj required in whicn to ascertain the condition of this water. By taking the samples to the city laboratory time was saved. The water in this well was found to be of un usually good quality. Such, however, was not the case -with the water in the well belonging to J. E. Burge, 624 Brooks avenue. Mr. Burge requested an examination and the water was found to be contaminated. Water in a well at 1196 Woodward avenue was also found to be impure and the per sons using it were notified of its dan gers.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which Is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brit tle. The best thing to use is just plain mulslfied cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats soaps or any thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wat er and rub it in, about a teaspoon ful Is all that is required. It makes an abun lance of rich, creamy lath er, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh, look ing, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv.
